He chose it. The Cross.
He chose. To be ashamed
He chose. To be tortured
To feel lonely, abandoned and forsaken.
To take the weight, all of it, not just what His body could take. But more.
To be the Lamb and have His blood pour out, literally.
To take our place.
To pay our debt.
For all of this to be a pleasing aroma to the Father¹…
It was all in the plan before creation². Jesus didn't step in and alter the Fathers plan to punish sin, and pour out His wrath. But instead, He actually took part in the plan. "It was the will of the LORD to crush Him…³"
That is something I cant wrap my head around. That before creation even took place, it was decided that the Person of the Trinity called Son, would humble Himself, from the highest of heavens, to the dirt of the Middle East in order to be tortured and bear the outpouring of Gods wrath on my behalf?
It was no mistake on Gods part, and it wasn't just a reaction plan once the world went wrong. It had already been decided that God would show His love in this way¹. This is a mystery of God that is so awe worthy and deserves nothing but a life of thanksgiving. We don't need to get it, cause God understood it. Somethings He keeps us in wonder about, because He is simply wonderFUL, full of things to wonder about. If we knew everything about God, or about what He did, then He would no longer be God.
Just one last thought to ponder on. This whole thing, the sacrifice, it was "a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.¹"
This thought is far from morbid. Its not at all that the Father was pleased to see His Son tortured. He was pleased that "it is finished," the plan was complete, His people can be fully reconciled to Him, no longer in need of religion or endless animal sacrifices in order to seek Him, but that they can at-once call on Him and be grafted into His family.
Don't struggle to much with the implication of how it was a pleasing aroma to the Father, and just let that be something to wonder in awe about, and something to give thanks to God for. Even though we may not understand it fully, we know that it was for our best that He did this. Wow. You may be feeling like me at this very moment, and you wanna get it, you wanna know why, how and understand Gods mind here etc etc. But…
Just wonder at His mystery's and rejoice. This was for you. Period.

I am trying to develop a truck hire site that can allow for online booking/reservation of a truck and I thought that it will be possible to customise the Appointments plus plugin but it does seem like a whole lot of work . Basically the ideas is that the plugin will allow service providers to submit / list their truck and then interested users can then go online to enter dates and types of the truck they require and see options to select from. Just like on this site http://www.seniorvehiclerental.co.uk/ where you can use the booking form to get a quote and options.
Do you have any plugin that can offer this service?
If not any help that you can offer?

Hill's focus isn't on separating ourselves into a special room with sticky notes of prayer requests on the walls, but on a sustainable prayer life together with God's people. She has a wonderful chapter on the importance of corporate, elder-led prayer, including practical tips on how to pray when someone else leads. She then moves on to public prayer meetings in church life, teaching how to lead while others pray. The book ends with both rich and practical help on praying with others in our communities, and especially in our homes.
Remember The War Room? In my own circles, I heard from more than a handful of people who walked away from that movie saying they were inspired to pray more. One of my concerns was with what kind of theology on prayer and the God whom they were praying they also walked away with. I was especially concerned about that after reading and reviewing the lead actress's bestselling book based on the movie. Priscilla Shirer's Fervent was more about women's struggles and Satan's strategies than it was about God and prayer. I concluded my review pointing out that Shirer opens the book saying that praying with precision is key, and I wished that there was more precision in her teaching on prayer itself, her biblical exposition, and her theology on sin, God's revelation, and spiritual warfare.
So I wonder, how has the prayer life of those who watched The War Room or read Shirer's Fervent changed a week, or a month, after being inspired? Has their prayer life improved in a sustainable way?
I'm going to put my neck out there and guess, no, no it hasn't. But whenever someone recommends a book that has disturbing theology in it, I like to be able to reply with a recommendation of my own. So I am happy to offer Megan Hill's new book, Praying Together to anyone who was intrigued by The War Room or Fervent. In fact, it's a great little book that stays true to its subtitle: The Priority of Prayer in our Homes, Communities, and Churches.
Hill's book does something Shirer's does not—it focuses on the God we are praying to and a correct theology on prayer. I also love that she explains what is happening when we pray. While Shirer focuses on Satan's strategies, Hill teaches us that since we are relating to a Trinitarian God, "in prayer we approach a loving, listening Father, and we are helped by the intercession of the Son and the groaning of the Spirit." She quotes her own father as explaining, "'When we pray, God talks to God."(23). You see, Hill teaches us that God's being, attributes, and work on our behalf has everything to do with our prayer life. And then she goes to God's Word to teach us about the act of prayer and the fruits of praying together.


text: A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning. Group 8 had a special visitor- Emme the rabbit! Kailee and her mommy taught us all about bunnies. We learned about how to care for rabbits, what they eat, and when they sleep. What fun! Groups 7 and 8 visited the "rainforest" this week at the Botanical Gardens. First, we traveled throughout the desert. Next, we explored three of the four layers of the rainforest. We experienced the conditions of the different layers of the rainforest. We felt the humidity, the moisture, and touched different plants and the sizes, shapes and textures of the leaves that grow on the different layers of the rainforest. After that, we watered and felt different plants and leaves in our workshop room. We also planted plants of our very own! The trip ended with a picnic lunch under a gazebo in the garden. It was a day of hands-on learning that brought the rainforest to life for all our students! And the best part is...the weather held out for us! What a fun way to learn about rainforests!

As we ring in the new year, it is often a time for reflection of both the good and bad from the past twelve months. Often, this leads us to making resolutions that will have us eating healthier, spending more quality time with family, losing that extra ten pounds, or maybe finishing the half marathon. It is in this spirit, I offer some business lending resolutions for your institutions.
I am resolved to review and change my loan policy and procedures this year. Believe it or not, we still see CUs who have not made changes to their MBL policy for several years. The changes in the regulations that went into effect last January, require a universal rewrite of all policies and procedures. If you have rewritten your policy, then you still need to review this annually for changes. If you need help, contact us.
I am resolved to set goals for my business lending department that is in alignment with the overall direction of my CU. Some institutions operate without any concrete goals or vision for their business lending department, choosing to allow that area of the CU just take care of small requests that come in from the membership. As such, the MBL departments do not exist as a primary driver of relationships and revenue. Set an overall vision for what you want commercial and agricultural lending to do for you and set some reasonable and some "stretch" goals for the year.
I am resolved that once my goals are set and communicated throughout my team, that I will not deviate from them unless there is a strong, compelling reason that will be communicated. I once worked in the bank that was notorious for changing the incentive plan each quarter. It became a joke as we knew we would do our best and could reach the goals that were in place for the last quarter, just to find the bar moved for this quarter. Actions like this cause distrust and do not encourage team members to excel.
There are circumstances where goals need to be moved considering a more pressing goal. I experienced this with the crash of 2008. Our commercial team moved from aggressive pursuance of new deals and relationships to managing and monitoring all credits. We have seen this with some of our CUs that have members who have been racked with the crash of commodity prices in the past few years as they turn inward to help the relationships they have march through these times as opposed to adding new business.
I am resolved to make sure any incentive program I have for my lenders lines up with the overall goals for the CU. If you have your number one focus as asset quality, then incentive plans need to have some measurement of that. If you want growth, do how you reward your team members reflect those goals?
I am resolved to not turn away large deals just because it is over my lending limit or comfort zone. We see CUs who have great opportunities dropped in their lap who will pass on it because of the size or complexity. A few years ago, we had a small CU we work with turn down a request from a member to finance a newly built Dollar General store because of the size. This would have been a great opportunity with a credit tenant as the primary source of revenue behind the project. This is a participation we could have managed which would give other CUs an opportunity to take a part in.
I am resolved to make sure all farm operational loans contain a thorough budget. I once financed a rancher who would sit at my desk and write out his annual budget on a piece of notebook paper each year. Most of the time, he was pretty spot on with his projections. Though I would have preferred something on a spreadsheet, I did appreciate the accuracy. Too many times, we see an operating farm loan, or even a C&I loan, that does not have any budget behind it. This makes it hard to know if the operating loan is sufficient for the needs of the farm. Operating budgets also show the management ability of the farmer. If you need help, we have a budget template on our website.
I am resolved to review financial information the customer gives me instead of just sticking it in the file. Are you just checking off the box when you receive something or are you reviewing this to see what the financial information tells you? Commercial lending requires that you exercise thought and judgement whenever you receive anything that needs to go in the loan file.
I am resolved to clean out my files and get rid of old, obsolete information. First, make sure that you are following all guidelines for file retainage. I had a wonderful president of a bank I worked for who required everyone to take a half day to a day every January to organize and purge files from unnecessary information. I have found that practice valuable as we work to stay organized.
I am resolved that everyone on my team has appropriate training and education. Learning is continuous; you never reach full knowledge. We set a minimum number of education hours for each Pactola team member at forty. Each of us, including myself, will exceed this by at least two times. Start a log of staff training and then look for opportunities, schools, continuing education, seminars, webexes, or classes we hold, to meet that ongoing need.
I am resolved to work hard on loans at the first stage of problems instead of burying my head in the sand. I have been guilty of the situation as described in a Peanuts cartoon. Linus asked, "Charlie Brown, when you have a problem do you think you should fix it right away or spend time thinking about it?"
"Oh, thinking about it, definitely" replied Charlie Brown.
Linus pressed in further, "To give you time to make the best decision on how to fix the problem?"
"No to give it time to go away!" Too often I have become as Charlie Brown and hoped the problem would disappear. Sometimes it does, but more than often it does not. It only gets worse. Arrest problems in the early stages, even if these are painful to deal with and you will be rewarded.
I am resolved to make sure my loan files are all up to date. This is a struggle when you have non-cooperative borrowers. But a lack of information in the file equals not fully understanding what is going on with the borrower. Serious problems may be occurring and you have no knowledge of these until it is too late. Resolve to correct this problem even if you think all is OK and that you have a "great member who has high standing in the community" as the borrower or guarantor.
I am resolved to grow. It is time that CUs who have business departments to become known as a resource for commercial and agricultural lending in their communities. You want to become the first choice of a business borrower and not the last.
So, there are twelve resolutions worth making for the new year. Find ways to reward yourself and your team for little accomplishments along the way. Develop a strategy to help you move from where you are today to where you want to be. And, contact us to help you excel in your resolutions.

Chew Tobacco
Smokeless Tobacco
Chewing tobacco is a type of smokeless tobacco product consumed by placing a portion of the tobacco between the cheek and gum or upper lip teeth and chewing. Unlike dipping tobacco, it is not ground and must be manually crushed with the teeth to release flavour and nicotine. Unwanted juices are then expectorated (spat).

Last week, my friend Jonathan Malm wrote a great blog post about how easy it is to come up with ideas. As a creative, it is easy to come up with ideas; but honestly, it can be a blessing a curse.
There's two different types of creatives: the producers and the inventors. The producers are people who are constantly coming up with ideas, and figuring out a way to make all of them come to life. The inventors are people who have a strike of genius and spend quite a bit of time on one project, and eventually release something absolutely mind-blowing.
Personally I'm a producer, and my flow looks something like this:
idea - new project-new task.
Which then equals more work flow. Tons, and tons, and tons of work flow.
You might be one of those producers who has an issue with thinking you have to deliver on every idea you bring to the table. I'm here to give you some grace; you don't have to. And to be honest, it's probably better that you don't.
You don't have to deliver every idea you bring to the table.
1. Don't do it all at the same time. I have a big black board in my office that I write down every idea on. However, when I get to my office the next day, for some reason, I think every one of these projects need to be done. And in return, my daily duties take a risk and becoming uncompleted tasks because I'm stressing over 6 new ideas that shouldn't even be real projects yet. Big lesson to learn here: don't spend time doing things that are going to hurt your work flow.
Don't spend time doing things that are going to hurt your work flow.
2. Keep your stress level low by doing one big project at a time. So after I look at my giant black board full of great ideas, those ideas start dwindling, and dwindling, until they become less than mediocre work. And when it's time to showcase them, the people that I have been talking this idea up to look at me as if I haven't delivered anything at all. In all reality, it probably would have been better if I had done just that. Make sure your work flow schedule is down – add 1 project at a time. Deliver, and move on.
So if you're a Creative Producer, please know that you're not alone. We got your back. But maybe it's time to wipe away all those ideas, take a breather, and pick just one for now.
And for you inventors…..we'll talk about you next week.

Last year I provided the art for a new children's book – Star Wars Bounty Hunt. In it, Bossk, ever the coolest bounty hunter (you heard Dengar) tracks a rogue droid through the outer reaches of space, calling in at some familiar locations along the way.
The book is a 'Look Inside' format, which means each illustration has a number of flaps to open, revealing clues along the way. It also meant, for me, three different sets of art for each spread – the location, the scene revealed under the flaps, and the underside of each flap. Which would have to be mirrored.
It was a ton of hard work but then again, Star Wars.

Normally we follow steps 1-2-3 or A-B-C but in my experience you need to follow the 3 A's for a great closet makeover!
ACCESSIBLE CLOTHING: This may seem obvious but if your don't really stop to think about what clothing you are storing where, you may end up having to close the closet door to get your favorite shirt while the gown you wear on occasion is always at hand's reach! Make sure the clothing you wear the most often are the ones that are the easiest to get to everyday!
ADDITION OF SPACE: Organizing anything is great but when it comes to organizing a closet, gaining more space should be at the top of the To Do List! There is not much point to simply moving stuff around when the possibility of adding extra hanging rods is just a hardware store away. Think about creating double rods, adding shelving and getting more stuff in that same old space!
ADJUSTABLE PARTS: If you are going to invest your hard earned money into a closet makeover....Make it count! Whether you hire a closet design expert or you do it yourself, make sure you get an adjustable system. Your shelves and rods should be able to move with your changing needs. Styles change, taste changes lifestyles change and your closet should be able to change with you!
An organized closet helps start your day off right! Less frustration, less time wasted, less searching for items and more time for YOU in the morning!

That's how it is. Not doing much shooting at the moment, doing more recording and stuff in my home studio these days and have no real plans on doing any photography this year, but that might change. Might go to Copenhagen a couple of weeks before xmas though, haven't been there for a while now, so maybe some street photography among the craziness of xmas shopping.
We'll see.
I will buy myself a new 3 Legged Thing tripod at some point though. Gonna get the even lighter and smaller EVO3 Punks Rick carbon fiber tripod which will be even better to bring along to accompany my Fujifilm X-T1 and X100T on (if not earlier) my upcoming trip to London in May 2016.

Doesn't [u]this[/u] prove that she is money hungry?
And think...she caused the citizens of CA to pay all of that money. Take her ass to jail so she can have material to write about in her tell-all book.
The mother of Michael Jackson's molestation accuser was charged with welfare fraud yesterday for allegedly collecting almost $19,000 in benefits under false pretenses, the Los Angeles County District Attorney said.
The pop star's defense team dug up the evidence of the mother's alleged welfare cheating and used it to discredit her at his criminal trial. Jackson was acquitted of all charges June 13.
A five-count complaint alleges the mother knowingly lied and concealed cash assets to collect $18,782 in assistance payments between November 2001 and March 2003.
She could face more than four years in prison if convicted, said Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the district attorney.

Oh fall, where are you? I've been searching for it in this heat wave we are having! I finally decided to stop waiting for it and to go find it.
I woke up Monday with the intention to take Pookah apple picking, but even though my spirit wanted to go, my body was like no.
BUT. Lucky me, I've got friends that all wanted to go. So after some peer pressure and compromise, Me, MJ, Aaronica and Mimi and all the kids, made it to the apple orchard.
Where instead of being breezy and overcast, it was hot and sunny!
But we picked apples.
There were no temper tantrums
Everyone had fun.
And of course, I took photos.
Now I'm off to make this Apple Crisp and find some other recipes for these apples.
Enjoy the photos.
Did you pick Apples this fall? What are you going to make with your apples?
Join Us!
Join the Everyday Project and get this Limited time FREE Ebook to help you get started taking your best photos this year and access to resources, tools and tips to help you with your photography projects this year.

Two posts in ONE week! LOL!!! How is everyone? There's been alot going on here! Random pictures to follow. First let me tell you about a really great event I've been working on.
The Pennsylvania Fiber ArtsFest.
Seems, even though I retired, my Home Economics/Family and Consumer Sciences background is still coming in handy! I'm loving the recent interest in knitting, crocheting, quilting, rug hooking and felting and I have enjoyed being able to add classes to the list of Grove's class offerings.
Find out more about the event and register at the website.
I'll have a booth in the Vendor Fair. Stop by if you're in the neighborhood or attending Folk College!
Grove's storefront will be closed to attend the event Sat. May 25th!


text: LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Shares in French pharmaceutical Sanofi-Aventis SNY, -0.30% fr:012057 rose 3 percent in Paris after J.P. Morgan analysts said in a note that the company, along with partner Bristol-Myers Squibb BMY, +0.36%, has successfully defended its patent on anti-platelet drug Plavix in the Canadian Courts. J.P. Morgan analysts said the news came unexpectedly early - about a month ahead of the April 28th deadline. It added that "while the outcome should not be extrapolated to the more important U.S. case, sentiment is likely to get a boost...(and) we expect BMY/Sanofi to prevail in the U.S. as well."

Dutch Language Enshrined in the Constitution
The Dutch language will be included in the Constitution. The Cabinet decided this on the recommendation of Minister of the Interior and Kingdom Relations Ter Horst, also on behalf of Prime Minister Balkenende, Minister of Justice Hirsch Ballin and Minister of Education, Culture and Science Plasterk. It will be laid down in the Constitution that Dutch is the official language of our country and that the government promotes the use of the Dutch language. A provision about the Frisian language will also be included in the Constitution.
The Cabinet is of the opinion that the Dutch language is an important part of the Dutch culture. As a result of internationalisation and the diversity of the population, an increasing number of languages is being spoken in the Netherlands. The English language, in particular, is winning ground. The Cabinet considers it important that the use of the Dutch language is not eroded. The purpose of the proposed amendment to the Constitution is to guarantee that the Dutch language will always be the lingua franca in the Netherlands. The provision in the Constitution about the Frisian language is to guarantee that the current status of the Frisian language is maintained.
The Cabinet agreed that the legislative proposal will be sent to the Council of State for its opinion. The text of the legislative proposal and the opinion of the Council of State will be published on submission to the Lower House.

When I was two years old, on August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. stood before the Lincoln Memorial and made a speech now so deeply embedded in the American consciousness that I am stirred by it every time I hear the briefest excerpt, though I have only "experienced" it through the recordings that continue to circulate 47 years later. On January 20, 2009, my husband played the speech in its entirety and wept openly while sitting in front of his computer (and trying to persuade our wiggly seven-year-old to pay attention for the whole oratory). That's how profound was our shared sense of redemption on the occasion of the inauguration of President Barack Hussein Obama, a man with African ancestry, married to a descendant of slaves, who grew up outside the contiguous continental United States, and who promised that there was yet something forward-looking, not backward looking we could attain as a nation. That the American mythology of inclusion and self-correction could come true in such a potent personification seemed overwhelmingly affirmative to us – and it still does.
Today, August 28, 2010, a television personality with little grasp of history, an alarmist who is prone to invoke half-remembered allusions to totalitarian debacles of the past, will stand again in this nation's capital and claim that the United State of American needs to "restore honor." "Restore honor" is code for Euro-White superiority, exclusion of immigrants, and a hypocritical social safety that reduces the contribution by the most prosperous members of society through regulation, taxation and other redistribution.
Good for him.
The antidote to speech is more speech, a principle I learned most vividly from Ann Baker, a pro-choice activist who has doggedly tracked perpetrators of violence against women's clinics and wrote "friend of the court" briefs on bombers and shooters and potential bombers and shooters via the National Center for the Pro Choice Majority. Ann understand that tireless, clear, accurate speech is the tool to be used against extremists and other political actors with whom one might disagree. She has organized counter-protests to oppose the aggressive gauntlet that "antis" set up outside of abortion clinics, and she has actually encouraged those who oppose the legality of abortion to speak, through placards and nonviolent protest, not to kill.
Say what you feel you need to say, Glenn Beck. It is my job and the job of Jon Stewart, Keith Olberman, news reports, and bloggers who disagree to do their best to inoculate readers and thinkers against misinformation, xenophobia and confused oppositional defiance disorder. That is the magnificence of the nation-state – its self-correcting property.
In my new book, Fallen Walls and Fallen Towers: The Fate of the Nation in a Global World, I discuss this self-correcting property of the nation-state, a political structure that I claim has yet found no peer in terms of, at least, its potential to effect social justice. One of 16 public intellectuals, whose work I examine to make this point, Jürgen Habermas asserts, "[T]he idea that one part of a democratic society is capable of a reflexive intervention into society as a whole has, until now, been realized only in the context of nation-states." (2001, p. 60) By "reflexive intervention," Habermas means national course correction or social reform. In chapter four of my new book, I review scholarship on several central properties of the nation-state. Hume, Locke and other writers contemplating the purpose of government gave justifications for full revolt by the citizenry, in the face of abuse of their rights. However, these theorists about (pre-nation-state) government expected the options for citizens to be: 1) submit to domination, or 2) rebel and start over with a new state. They did not seek—because there had been few examples of—ways for the people to peacefully influence the trajectory of a society as a whole (i.e., its population plus the government), the capacity for self-correction that Habermas touts.
The American, Canadian, Indian, South Korean and other Constitutions guarantee citizens' rights to criticize their government, to gather publicly, and otherwise work within the system for revisions of public policy.Nation-states with provisions for free speech, assembly, and other forms of protest are able to (in theory) and do (in practice) accommodate dissent and social innovation with relatively little societal disruption. Neither empires, nor the corporations and other entities of the global economy, nor ideologically defined subnations currently provide such codified protections of disagreement and potential for changing existing power arrangements.
Fallen Walls and Fallen Towers: The Fate of the Nation in a Global World is now available for Kindle.
The book will be available in hardcover September 11, 2010 via online bookstores in the United States, the UK, France, Japan, Germany, Australia, and India. Bricks and mortar bookstores can order the book via Ingram or direct from Nimble.

Child Care Facilities
Young Academics child care facilities are sourced with love and expertise. When setting up a childcare, we treat it as though we are setting up a new home. Every single piece of equipment, resource, and amenity is particularly selected for the sole purpose of delivering early childhood learning outcomes.
Young Academics facilities aim to actualize the principles of the Early Years Learning Framework. Meaning our facilities are dedicated to working hand in hand with educational programs, in alignment with educational outcomes.
Child Care Facilities: how can they make a difference?
Each of our Sydney locations brings the curriculum to life. From activities for toddlers to preschool learning, all equipment and resources offer interactive learning environments, as we understand learning equipment to be critical tools in our education programs. Having the right tools means that effective classroom and outdoor participation can be achieved. All Young Academics Early Learning Centres give each student an opportunity to participate through carefully selected age-appropriate equipment.
Ways in which up-to-date child care facilities can affect your child's early education include:
- Equipment can cater to differentiated preschool activities
- Encourage outdoor and indoor classroom participation
- Offers interactive learning environments, including play-based learning opportunities
- Builds sensory motor skills, in turn, promoting self-confidence and self-efficacy
- Encourages team building and collaboration with peers
- Improves success in educational outcomes through practical skills
Effective child care facilities + skilled educators = outcomes achieved
It is the perfect formula! Having the right facilities and the right facilitators means educational outcomes for your child are optimised. Considered one of our most valued investments, our educators are the necessary component regarding impacting your child's education. Each educator:
- Encourages all students to carry out and participate in activities → outcomes presented
- Ensure students understand why they are participating → outcomes attempted
- Ensures all possibilities have been explored → outcomes achieved
At Young Academics, we adopt various collaborative team teaching methods to ensure organisation, instructions, and communication are clear. In education, collaborative team teaching means that educators work together, intertwining different strengths, skills, ideas and expertise, optimising our educational programs and in turn, your child education.
Above all this, each and every single one of Young Academics' qualified educators are instilled with family values, working with each stakeholder in your child's education process - your child, us and you - to build what we call 'home.'
Young Academics' day care centres are an invitation in themselves to step into a 'home away from home.' We invite you to take a tour at your nearest Young Academics Learning Centre. Call to book now.
As a family, everything is taken care of as soon as you walk through the centre doors. We provide each child with nappies, wipes, linen, sunscreen, 5 delicious meals, superior facilities and resources, dedicated and engaged educators and a world class daily program focusing on overall wellness, filled with lots of time for fun and exploration.
Our comprehensive offering provides families with peace of mind knowing that their child will be wonderfully taken care of and immersed in educational experiences from the moment they arrive, to the moment they leave the centre.
Tune into Kinderloop
We love nothing more than sharing your child's progress with you. That's why we use Kinderloop, an app developed to help educators keep families 'in the loop' by capturing and sharing your child's special moments throughout the day. By simply downloading Kinderloop to your smart phone, you can stay in touch with your child's milestones, daily activities and events every day.
Our Values
Open Andhonest
Trust is everything in childcare, and we work hard to earn it. Whether we're communicating with families or with each other, we're truthful, respectful and responsive.
We love looking after children – it's that simple. It's what drives us to ensure we're always implementing best practice in everything we do, from qualifications to processes and curriculum. There's no place for cutting corners!
Always on the front foot, we're constantly seeking ways to improve what we do. Just like your children, we're always learning, growing, adapting and evolving.
We Are family
We want Young Academics to feel like a home away from home, so we keep family values at the heart of everything we do. It's about closeness, trust, unity and teamwork.

The Bible claims to be the word of God – God's inspired revelation of Himself and His Son, and His plan for the world. The Bible's claim to truth is confirmed by its many future predictions that have actually come to pass – particularly predictions about Jesus Christ and God's people Israel. This reassures us that the Bible has the authority to teach us how to live our lives today and that its multiple predictions of the return to earth of Jesus Christ and the resurrection of the dead will undoubtedly occur.
Almighty God is unique, eternal and altogether righteous. He is "from everlasting to everlasting" (Psalm 90:2). "… the LORD is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him" (Psalm 92:15). He also has future intent: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come" (Revelation 1:4 and 4:8). Almighty God is "a just God and a Saviour" (Isaiah 45:21). While He is infallibly righteous, He is also a merciful and redemptive God.
By contrast, it's clear from our own experience and from the Bible that we inherit Adam and Eve's mortality and their tendency to sin. We all die, not only because we are all mortal, but because we all sin. Sin, like an employer, pays its wages – namely death (Romans 3:23, 5:12, 6:23). Death is a state of total oblivion. Human beings and the animal creation share the same breath of life. When it leaves us we have no conscious existence (Psalms 104:29, 146:3-4; Ecclesiastes 9:5 &10). The only hope for us of life after death – even for those who are "in Christ" – is the resurrection of the dead when Christ returns (1 Corinthians 15:18).
The wonder of the Bible is that it contains God's "exceedingly great and precious promises" which extend to us the prospect of becoming "partakers of the divine nature" (2 Peter 1:4). This would involve us becoming free from sin and death, made to be incorruptibly righteous and deathless. These precious promises are to be found in the Old Testament – in the Garden of Eden and made later to Abraham and to King David. They clarify for us the place of reward and are corroborated and explained for our eternal benefit in the New Testament. This is what makes the Bible God's handbook for life.
We invite you to a free Bible talk on this revealing subject, the Bible is God's life handbook. This will be at 7.00pm on Sunday evening the 24th of June. The venue is the Christadelphian Hall, 489 Mount Gravatt-Capalaba Road, corner of Boyanda Street, opposite Ham Road, Wishart. That's on Sunday evening the 24th of June at 7 o'clock.

Happy Fall, Y'all!/
Break out the sweaters, y'all...it's FALL!!! :)
This is my absolute favorite time of year!
The trees bursting with color, the crisp fresh air, apple picking, baking, tailgating, football games...I just love all of it!
In fact, when I had my first baby and my Lamaze teacher had us choose "focal point" pics for the delivery room, I chose a gorgeous pic of Fall trees to whisk me away from the unmentionable pain of childbirth. {Let's save that story for another day, shall we}?
Anyhoo, to welcome Fall, and to get you just as excited about it as I am, I'm sharing this fun "Hello, Sweater Weather" printable art print with you...for FREE! :)Read More

Live Out There Is Shaking Up The Way They Do Business
Live Out There, a Canadian outdoors gear retailer founded in 2009 (and won the Calgary Herald's Startup Of The Week back in 2012) have announced they they are re-thinking how they conduct business.
Investing early in e-commerce has put them ahead of the game, and now in turn they are looking to shake things up by looking at the entire retail chain. Currently most of their stock is 70% off as they decide which products they should make in-house (have your say on their blog) and which partners are willing to join them in their quest to bring lower prices to the public.

Pembroke Hall FC's U-19s to participate in Schwan's USA Cup
Jamaica will be represented in one of biggest youth football tournaments in the world as Pembroke Hall Under-19s have accepted an invitation to participate in the Schwan's USA Cup in Minnesota next year.
This will be the 35th edition of the tournament to be held July 16-20, and Pembroke Hall will be one of hundreds of teams participating in what has been dubbed an international cultural exchange.
The tournament has, each year, attracted over 1,000 teams between the two tournaments, along with over 64 countries participating since the inception in 1984.
The Pembroke Hall Football Club currently has an Under-19 team in training, and Head Coach Levi Monroe believes this can only help the club and Jamaica.
"This is the first time in a decade that a team from Jamaica will be participating," Monroe told the Jamaica Observer.
"With the Schwan's Cup being an Under-19 tournament we will be able to draft in quality players from our Under-17 group and will make an impact," he noted.
"Most importantly, its great exposure for the players and for them to play and enjoy themselves while getting good results. This is a wonderful opportunity for the boys to compete internationally, and interact with players from other countries," Monroe said.
Schwan's USA Cup is held each summer at the National Sports Centre in Blaine, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis, St Paul. The National Sports Centre provides one of the best football complexes in the world, with more than 50 full-sized grass fields on one site.
Championship games are played on the premier fields, including the outdoor stadium and adjacent exhibition field. In addition to premier football facilities and competition, a full week of activities have been designed to promote cultural exchange between players and to provide an excellent experience for all involved.
The USA Cup is sanctioned by the United States Soccer Federation.
Pembroke Hall has been involved in fund-raising activities to offset the cost, although accommodation will be taken care of by the organisers.

Ecclesiastes 11.7-12.14/
Concluding a series of sermons on the Bible's teaching concerning itself, this message looks at the literal interpretation of Scripture: how the Bible transforms us, reveals to us truth, and unites us as the people of God. The book of Ecclesiastes provides a text that is as beautiful as it is true, or, we might say, it beautifully communicates truth. As we appreciate that beauty and acknowledge that truth, God's Word is a source of life for us.

Hello everyone! My name is Logan and I am so excited to be involved in the FIMRC family as the Global Health Volunteer Program Manager! My journey with FIMRC started during my freshman year of college in 2013 when I joined the University of Wisconsin-Madison Chapter. I am excited to continue my time with FIMRC at HQ!
I am from Wisconsin and am a proud Midwesterner! I do love cheese (as I'm sure you assumed), and if you're ever in the area, you should try some Wisconsin cheese curds! I studied at UW-Madison and graduated with a degree in Genetics and Plant Pathology. I eventually want to go on to pursue medical school and continue to work in public health! My passion for medicine stems from my desire to help others and provide care for underserved populations. This was one of the reasons I was drawn to FIMRC!
Ultimately I joined FIMRC because of the people. The executive board members at the time were very friendly and made me feel welcome. When I came and saw what the organization was all about, I knew it was something I wanted to stay involved in! I went on to serve as treasurer, vice president, and president during my undergraduate career. My chapter was small, but we worked hard to make a difference in our community and fundraised to the best of our ability to help fund adopt-a-projects for our sites abroad. We grew to be a family and had fun while helping others!
In my free time, I enjoy watching movies, baking, and trivia with a group of pals! I also enjoy all forms of art, from theater to sculpture, and am excited to check out all of the museums Philadelphia has to offer. With two musician parents, music is another of my passions. My favorite artists include David Bowie, Lady Gaga, Florence + the Machine, and, of course, The Beatles!
I look forward to working with our volunteers and making their experience memorable and impactful!

Palermo is a city of Southern Italy, the capital of both the autonomous region of Sicily and the Metropolitan City of Palermo. The city is noted for its history, culture, architecture and gastronomy, playing an important role throughout much of its existence; it is over 2,700 years old. Palermo is located in the northwest of the island of Sicily, right by the Gulf of Palermo in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The city was founded in 734 BC by the Phoenicians as Ziz. Palermo then became a possession of Carthage, before becoming part of the Roman Republic, the Roman Empire and eventually part of the Byzantine Empire, for over a thousand years. The Greeks named the city Panormus meaning complete port. From 831 to 1072 the city was under Arab rule during the Emirate of Sicily when the city first became a capital. The Arabs shifted the Greek name into Balarme, the root for Palermos present-day name. Following the Norman reconquest, Palermo became the capital of a new kingdom, the Kingdom of Sicily and the capital of the Holy Roman Empire under Frederick II Holy Roman Emperor and Conrad IV of Germany, King of the Romans. Eventually Sicily would be united with the Kingdom of Naples to form the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies until the Italian unification of 1860.
The population of Palermo urban area is estimated by Eurostat to be 855,285, while its metropolitan area is the fifth most populated in Italy with around 1.2 million people. In the central area, the city has a population of around 676,000 people. The inhabitants are known as Palermitani or, poetically, panormiti. The languages spoken by its inhabitants are the Italian language, Sicilian language and the Palermitano dialect.
Palermo is Sicilys cultural, economic and touristic capital. It is a city rich in history, culture, art, music and food. Numerous tourists are attracted to the city for its good Mediterranean weather, its renowned gastronomy and restaurants, its Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque churches, palaces and buildings, and its nightlife and music. Palermo is the main Sicilian industrial and commercial center: the main industrial sectors include tourism, services, commerce and agriculture. Palermo currently has an international airport, and a significant underground economy.
In fact, for cultural, artistic and economic reasons, Palermo was one of the largest cities in the Mediterranean and is now among the top tourist destinations in both Italy and Europe. It is the main seat of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedral Churches of Cefalù and Monreale. The city is also going through careful redevelopment, preparing to become one of the major cities of the Euro-Mediterranean area.
Roman Catholicism is highly important in Palermitano culture. The Patron Saint of Palermo is Santa Rosalia whose Feast Day is celebrated on 15 July. The area attracts significant numbers of tourists each year and is widely known for its colourful fruit, vegetable and fish markets at the heart of Palermo, known as Vucciria, Ballarò and Capo.

Horror: Everyone is Talking About This Mysterious Creature That Appeared On a Beach in Philippines (Photos)
Beachogers were left stunned when a mysterious creature washed up on the shore in the Philippines
Many beachgoers in the Philippines were recently left completely stunned when a mysterious creature washed up on shore. According to The Sun UK, the unknown sea-beast was found in the shallows off Maasin City, on the island of Leyte.
Julius Alpino, from the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, said the corpse could not be identified because it was already decomposing.
However he said there was a chance that the creature, which was the length of a fighter jet, could have been a whale. Nujnuj Capistrano, 42, photographed the beast after spotting it as he was passing the beach.
He said: "I was just passing by the beach and took some photos but I don't know about the details.
"I was surprised because it's too big and it's the first time I saw that kind of creature.
"I don't know what they did with it but one thing is for sure, the creature was already dead when I saw it.
"The smell was too bad. I can't describe it, but it was a bad smell."
The city reportedly decided to tow the 10m creature back out to sea, saying it could not be buried because of its size and its smell was already a health hazard.
Photos show rescue workers at the scene and a vessel towing the creature away from the beach.

Recently I wrote about the remarkable work of Elon Musk and his team at SpaceX and how what they achieved on December 22nd 2015 changed the very nature of the Space industry. You can read the article. The USA wins the Space Race. Again. This time with economics if you want some background.
I also stated that the Russian space program would be in trouble as a result.
Today President Vladimir Putin dissolved Roscosmos, Russia's federal space agency.
Roscosmos has been plagued by corruption. The official Roscosmos ten year budget has been cut again and over $1.8Bn appears to have gone missing.
President Putin has decided to turn the agency into a government owned Corporation. It doesn't seem likely that is going to help stop the corruption, but to simply divert where the money goes from one group directly to Putin. Putin has been running Russian as a kleptocracy
for many years, that doesn't seem likely to change, and it certainly doesn't seem likely he'll stop with the Space program. Particularly as it generates so much hard currency.
Mr Putin is very fond of the Russian commercial space business and sees it as a national asset. However SpaceX are in the process of changing the rules on him. The Russian space agency has always been incredibly good at reusing existing technology and developing existing technologies to produce more. This worked well for them and is very different to the US system. Much of the Russian technology is little more advanced than the US Gemini program rockets of the early 1960's. The Russians never got out of Orbit, never used reusable craft the Space Shuttle, and never built systems such as Pioneer, Voyager or New Horizons.
Much of the launch system technology used by the Russians is 1960's technology. It's reliable and the sunk R&D costs have meant the cost of each launch is lower than more modern systems. However when SpaceX changes the definition of success and lowers the cost of launching satellites and people into low earth orbit by a factor of 50x then they are going to need to rethink their strategy from the ground up. But they simply don't have the money or experience. They could of course steal it, it wouldn't be the first time. Russians steal Space Shuttle ideas.
In 2017 the US is planning to put 6 American astronauts on Soyuz Rockets for a total cost of $490m. In the medium term this is likely to continue, but for reasons beyond cost the US Government would certainly like to move away from relying on the Russians to launch Americans into space. After all Russia's recent activities in Ukraine have brought with them significant sanctions on Russia.
Excession Events change the definition of success and failure. What Mr Musk and his team achieved in late 2015 will have ramifications far beyond simply lowering the cost of satellite launches.
It will be interesting to see how medium term the Russians cope when the rules have changed so much on them. There are lessons for us all here. Incremental change, the 10% improvement each year is something many existing systems can cope with. But a 10x change or more simply destroys your business faster than it can be react.

Simon is a contrarian. He makes a habit of being the guy who questions the orthodoxy, the guy who doesn't believe it just because the good and the great said it's true. This has not always been good for his ascent up the corporate greasy pole. However it's been very good for his employers if they are prepared to listen.
The Book The End of Certainty "How to thrive when playing by the rules is a losing strategy" explains why groupthink and the doing what you've always done is no longer the right move.

How to edit this Wiki Edit
You may have noticed an old, outdated information, or a new provider has started in the country. You've made some significant observation using a SIM card. Or you think some other important aspect is missing in the article, please add you contribution.
- Write down your news in the comments section of the appropriate article. This is if you are unfamiliar of how to edit or not sure if it really matters or where it fits within the section. We will read all contributions in the comments line and add the relevant information to the article eventually. When we are talking about hard facts like prices or tariffs, a link to a source like the provider's website or offer helps us to verify your contribution.
- If you already know well how to edit and are quite sure about the relevance of your supplement, you can go directly to the article and change the appropriate section. All articles but very few (like the main page) are open to the general public for editing. This is the way to update specific facts like new prices or products, LTE availability or a current promotion. We appreciate your amendment, but will check it like all changes done to this Wiki.
We know the editing system of Wikia really sucks. But we can't change that. You need to have some experience to draw a table or add a logo. It doesn't need to look perfect. It helps when you log in with your name, so we can get in touch with you. We revise the articles periodically. Just stick to our guidelines and check your edit whether it respects them. If you have messed up the article or your part of it, there is always a way to roll back and start again.
But please don't spoil the article. It has cost time and efforts to collect all information and to write it down. Like all Wikis we have our share of vandalism and junk. Don't waste our time to delete contributions that just don't make any sense or are plain advertisements. We'd rather spend the time adding new countries or updating offers.
That's why every IP address of a user who obviously adds false, misleading or just edits that don't make any sense will be blocked from further editing on this Wiki for a year. This also applies to edits or comments that are abusive or offensive. Articles that are much subject to vandalism may be protected for a while. Please contact the admin (Talk Page: wolfbln), if you want to edit them and it says that you need admin rights for it.
Adding a country article Edit
We have already covered all major countries. In the last months we have focused more on consolidating the existing articles but to add new countries. But don't worry, new countries are in the pipeline.
You are free to add your country, if you live in it or have travelled it. When you are a local, try to see things from the perspective of a traveler who is going to be there for the very first time.
All articles follow a certain pattern. Better look at some similar country sections before to have a template and know how to structure it. Name of the article is always the name of the country. Then all GSM operators (MNOs) are listed and if applicable MVNOs too. You need to state the frequencies that are employed and give some words about coverage and speeds.
In this 'Basics' chapter all relevant information that concern all providers should be given. Conclude it with a few words about how to purchase a SIM card or other local particularities that you may have noticed.
This is followed by the operator's section. List each operator or brand separately. Start with the biggest one, to be followed by its MVNOs or the smaller providers. WI-FI router or SIM card rentals need to be at the end of the article, if you think that they are a valid option.
Within every operator's section start with a short profile of the operator: coverage, speed, frequencies and more. Then give advice about the availability of the SIM card / starter pack and how to start up. This is followed by how to check your credit and how and where to do a recharge / top up..
Integral part are the data offers: default data rate, data packages, add-ons and more. Try to be as specific and clear as possible with the rates. This can be concluded by a review or additional information about card sizes, tethering, VoIP, validity or other known restrictions or issues. At the end of each section should be the APN configuration and possibly a link to the operator's website, especially if it's available in English.
Finally, check the Guidelines again and see if you've obeyed them. Then, all you need to do is to publish your article. The admin will review it and may put some corrections, change some formats or add logos to have it in line with the other countries on this Wiki. In the end he will link "your" country and article to the main page.

For the first time I have put together a full theatre show which I hope eventually to tour

Good luck to Symphony Orchestra
Having read Ray Fleming's column 20.4.00, I have to write to say I totally agree with him 100 per cent.
I have written to your paper on two to three occasions congratulating the island on the very high standard of its Balearic Symphony Orchestra.
For an island of its size to find a symphony orchestra of this standard is remarkable. None the less that its standard has improved fantastically under the baton of its present principal conductor Salvador Brotons.
All the hard dedicated work he has given to this orchestra is to be commended.
Like Ray Fleming, I can only hope he is encouraged to accept another contract so that he continues to do for this orchestra what he has also achieved in the past three years.
I never miss a concert when I am on the island for it is always one of the highlights of my visits.
Good luck to the orchestra in the future and with all its musical endeavours.
