In computing, a tiling window manager is a window manager with an organization of the screen into mutually non-overlapping frames, as opposed to the more popular approach of coordinate-based stacking of overlapping objects (windows) that tries to fully emulate the desktop metaphor.
History Edit
Xerox PARC Edit
The first bitmapped graphical user interface was created at Xerox PARC. This GUI (Smalltalk) used the desktop metaphor. Later Xerox PARC also developed CEDAR, the first windowing system using a tiled window manager. The first Xerox Star system tiled application windows, but allowed dialogs and property windows to overlap.[1]
Siemens RTL Tiled Window Manager Edit
One of the first (created in 1988) tiling WMs was Siemens's RTL, up to today a schoolbook example because of its algorithms of automated window scaling, placement and arrangement, and (de)iconification. RTL ran on X11R2 and R3, mainly on the "native" Siemens systems, eg. SINIX.
Andrew Project Edit
The Andrew Project (AP or tAP) was a Desktop client system (like early GNOME) for X with a tiling and overlapping wm.
Prominent tiling window managers Edit
Microsoft Windows Edit
w:c:Software:Microsoft Windows has included a window manager since w:c:Software:Windows 95 which, while it follows the traditional stacking approach by default, can optionally also act as a rudimentary tiling window manager.
To tile windows, first select them in the taskbar. Multiple windows can be selected while holding the Control key during clicking. Then, right click and from the context menu choose "Tile Vertically" or "Tile Horizontally". However, the wording of these options is misleading. Choosing "Tile Vertically" will cause the windows to tile horizontally but take on a vertical shape, while choosing "Tile Horizontally" will cause the windows to tile vertically but take on a horizontal shape. These options were later changed in Windows Vista to "Show Windows Stacked" and "Show Windows Side by Side".
History Edit
The first version (w:c:Software:Windows 1.0) featured a tiling window manager, partly because of litigation by Apple claiming ownership of the overlapping window desktop metaphor. But due to complaints, the next version (w:c:Software:Windows 2.0) followed the desktop metaphor. All later versions of the operation system stuck to this approach as the default behaviour.
3rd party addons Edit
There are third party programs that add more sophisticated tiling functionality to Windows, similar to what is available in tiling window managers used in other operating systems:
- WindowSizer - Tiles windows (shareware)
- WinSplit - Tiles windows using keyboard shortcuts (freeware)
- HashTWM - Tiling window manager with automatic tiling (MIT/X11)
- GridMove - Tiles and arranges windows on sophisticated layouts with hotkeys and multi-monitor support (freeware/donationware)
- bug.n - Dynamic, tiling window manager, which tries to clone the functionality of dwm (see list of X window managers) (GPL)
- MaxTo - Tiles windows on user-defined grid by intercepting windows that are maximized or using hotkeys. Supports multi-monitor setups (shareware)
- Twinsplay - Tiles windows using keyboard shortcuts (trial/closed source)
X Window System Edit
In the X Window System the window manager is a separate program. X itself enforces no specific window management approach and current X protocol version X11 explicitly mentions the possibility of tiling window managers. The Siemens RTL Tiled Window Manager (released in 1988) was the first to implement automatic placement/sizing strategies. Another tiling window manager from this period was the Cambridge Window Manager developed by IBM's Academic Information System group.
No new tiling window managers for X were developed for some time. In 2000 both larswm and Ion released a first version.
List of tiling window managers for X Edit
- awesome — a dwm derivative with window tiling, floating and tagging, written in C and configurable and extensible in Lua. It was the first WM to be ported from Xlib to XCB, and supports D-Bus, pango, XRandR, Xinerama.
- dwm — allows for switching tiling layouts by clicking a textual ascii art 'icon' in the status bar. The default is a Larswm-like main area + stacking area arrangement, represented by a []= character glyph. There is also a non-tiling floating layout similar to *evilwm which permits windows to be moved and resized, represented by a fish-like ><>. Third party patches exist to add a golden section-based Fibonacci layout, a grid layout, a gapless grid layout, and a horizontal stacking arrangement.
- Echinus — "a window manager for X in spirit of dwm." Like dwm it supports managing windows in floating, tiled and maximized layouts. All the configuration is made via config file in Xresources format, so it is not necessary to recompile echinus every time you change something. Echinus supports a small subset of EWMH to be compatible with external panels and pagers. It draws a border around windows and also an optional title bar. The goal of development is a small, fast window manager without features not strictly related to window management, e.g. menus, panels, etc.
- Grid plugin - adds keyboard tiling shortcuts and layouts to the Compiz compositing window manager.
- i3 — aims to be "an improved dynamic tiling window manager" inspired by wmii.
- Ion — combines tiling with a tabbing interface: the display is manually split in non-overlapping regions (frames). Each frame can contain one or more windows. Only one of these windows is visible and fills the entire frame.
- Ion2 — a keyboard friendly window manager.
- kahakai — a dual mode WM offering both tiling and stacking capabilities.
- Larswm — implements a form of dynamic tiling: the display is vertically split in two regions (tracks). The left track is filled with a single window. The right track contains all other windows stacked on top of each other.
- Lucca WM
- Matchbox — tiles system trays and a single window, targeting embedded and mobile environments where multiple tiled windows don't fit well. It does not permit overlapping main windows (although, like many tiling window managers, dialog windows are "special", with stacked management), but it accomplishes this by showing only one window, rather than literally tiling of multiple windows. This can be considered as a single-tile layout.
- Musca — features manual tiling, multiple screen support, virtual desktops and mouse or keyboard navigation.
- plpwm — a configuration of the plwm window manager toolkit that provides tiling.
- Qtile — written and configured in Python.
- Ratpoison — A keyboard-driven GNU Screen for X.
- StumpWM — Ratpoison's extensible successor rewritten in Common Lisp.
- Scrotwm — minimalist, with dynamic xrandr & xinerama support.
- subtle
- tritium
- wmfs
- wmii — developed in parallel to dwm by the same author.
- XMonad — an extensible WM written in Haskell.
Third party tiling applications on Xorg Edit
- Tile is a small command allowing tiling windows under a floating window manager.
- stiler (formerly known as Poor man's Tiling Window manager) is a simple Python script which does tiling on any window manager.
- PyTyle is a manual tiling manager that can slide into any EWMH compliant window manager.
Others Edit
- The w:c:Software:Oberon operating system from ETH Zurich includes a tiling window manager.
- Omero, part of the Plan B operating system developed at URJ Madrid also tiles windows by default.
Tiling applications Edit
Although tiling is not the default mode of window managers on any widely used platform, most applications already display multiple functions in a similar manner. Examples include email clients, IDEs, "sidebars" in web browsers, and contextual help in Microsoft Office. In addition, HTML frames can be seen as a markup language-based implementation of tiling. The tiling window manager extends this usefulness beyond multiple functions within an application, to multiple applications within a desktop. The Tabbed Document Interface can be a useful adjunct to tiling, as it avoids having multiple window tiles on screen for the same function.

There are many easy ways you can make income on line in the comfort of your own home without using a website. This article will tell you about some of the on line programs you can join to make an income from home without a website.
1.Survey Work on Line:
Earning money from completing surveys online is a well established way of generating some income from home. These surveys are usually conducted by companies who are seeking to establish the best way to market their products or services. The amount of money you can earn per survey may depend on the importance or the length of survey. Before you start working for a company in this way look into it's background and check it is a company you want to do work for and the terms they offer you. For example if it is straight income you want to make then perhaps you will want to avoid those companies that reward you only in prizes or gifts as opposed to money for your survey work.
2. Earn Money Doing Any /All of the Following:
- Reading Email
- Signing up to Sites
- Surfing the Net
It is self evident from the above what you do to earn income in these three ways. All you have to do is read emails and click the advertisement inside, sign up to various free to join programs and/or surf on the internet for specific things and you can earn cash for your efforts. Even though the income you can earn may not be a lot it is an easy way to make money at home.
3.Investing Your Money On Line:
This method involves investing money in programmes for a certain period of time and in return receiving an amount of interest based on the investment. This type of programme involves a high level of risk because just as in off line investments you can also lose money.In addition there are a number of these programmes which if investigated would prove to be scams. Without experience in this field one should be wary and research carefully before risking one's hard earned cash . This is not to say there are no legitimate programmes of this kind and it is possible to obtain a higher rate of interest from them than could be obtained off line but that there is an inherent risk factor to be aware of.
4.Making Money Using Ebay:
By now Ebay is a well known site for buying and selling products. Most people are familiar with the idea of selling their unwanted possessions through this online auction site. What is less well known is that there are people making a good income reselling items for a higher price than they originally had to pay for them . There are many outlets where it is possible to purchase used items e.g. books at a very low price but which may have a higher value when sold individually on Ebay.
5. Pay Per Click (PPC) Advertising:
This has become a very popular way of making an income at home without requiring a website. The idea is that you earn commission by joining an online affiliate programme and advertising your chosen products on any site that has pay per click advertising. PPC charges a small amount of money any time someone clicks on your advertisement. If as a result that person purchases the product you will be paid a commission by the company.Your profit is that commission less your PPC charges. It must be remembered that PPC charges are payable whether or not a purchase results from the click.The best known PPC service is Google Adwords. Google offers on site instruction on the use of it's service. It is important to monitor the amount you spend on pay per click Adwords and to be sure that your investment on PPC doesn't exceed the amount of commission you get from the affiliate program.
Clearly all these programmes have their own pros and cons. The last two are more popular than the first three but there are people being successful at all the above ways. If either of the last two is your choice it is important to thoroughly understand the techniques used. Luckily it is easy to obtain ebooks and articles that will explain all these techniques to the newcomer to making income on line.

I remember when you couldn't read any health-related media without being bombarded with the incredible benefits of a diet rich in garlic. If you believed everything you read at that time, it was good for anything up to and including spontaneous decapitation. Time – and the media frenzy – moves on … these days (apparently) you will die sickly and poor and alone if you are not munching on ginger-root every single day.
I am being sarcastic about the media … not about the health benefits! Ginger can improve circulation, absorption of nutrients and digestion in general. It fights inflammation (which can raise all sorts of ruckus in the body), it fights nausea, it fights colds, flus and respiratory problems. Ginger does all this at the same time as being one of the most versatile ingredients in the entire kitchen. I use ginger in beverages (smoothies, teas, punches, mulled drinks…), soups, stirfrys, meat marinades, salads, ice cream and baking … oooh, all sorts of baking! I have to be physically restrained from adding ginger to every single thing I bake! Here is one of our most popular desserts … that features a healthy dose of (you guessed it) ginger.
Mix well …
3 c brown sugar
2 c chopped dates
1 c chopped candied ginger
finely grated zest of 1 orange
1 T baking powder – sifted
½ t each of nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon
½ t salt
2 c all purpose flour
Add and stir until well moistened …
8 eggs – beaten until light and strained
Bake in one 9 x 9 AND one 9 x 13 pan. Spray and line the bottom with parchment.
Bake about 25 minutes until just firm in the centre. Cool 10 minutes, loosen the sides with a knife and turn out onto a cooling rack. Let cool until almost room temperature then cut into bars and roll in icing sugar. Hide them well, from yourself as well as from others, in between serving times.
Easter brunch is now behind us. Thanks to everyone who helped and to everyone who came out. That was a splendid time! Let's do it again next year!
Thanks to Roger M. who wrote on his Easter Retreat evaluation form that the Loyola House kitchen "puts the 'treat' in 'retreat'". <kitchen staff collectively blushes>
Welcome to Emily and Todd who have arrived to step into the steel-toed shoes left vacant by Ryan and Michele. We look forward to what they have to bring!
I predict that the next big health essential will be ashwagandha. It has not quite gotten into the mainstream media yet, but when it does … you read it here first!

Marketing Automation is a Rear-View Camera, Not a Self-Driving Car
Sapir Segal on September 2, 2016
Marketing automation is certainly becoming a necessity among B2B marketers—a recent study found that 53% of companies are applying the technology and 17% more are considering it. There's the illusion that MAP is a lead generation panacea. Indeed, push-button convenience is a hot topic surrounding 21st-century technology, such as the self-driving cars. But just as the name "self-driving" cars misleads consumers to think they can abandon the stirring wheel and let the car do the driving, "marketing automation" creates the same misconception.
Marketing automation isn't something you can set up and neglect. Tools that automate marketing efforts serve more as a rearview backup camera, with the B2B marketer in the front seat.
When "driving" your company's customer acquisition strategy and integrating it across all channels – including social media– for a sharp and consistent brand message, MAPs can help you draw the right prospects into your sales funnel with the highest level of efficiency. By integrating your MAP with a social media management platform you can sync all of the lead data for a seamless marketing picture.
Here's how to make the most of MAP for your enterprise, with some key insights on how social media fits into the picture.
Solidify Your Sales Funnel and Lead Nurturing Strategy
The first step in preparing for marketing automation is to take a close look at the marketing intelligence you've already acquired. Review your market segmentation and buyer personas respectively, to understand the kind of companies you do business with, and what motivates point-persons to purchase your solutions. That involves conducting market research with the goal of discovering the best aspects of past customer relationships, so you can repeat what already works.
With 79% of inbound leads never converting unless nurtured, revising your nurturing strategy with these common approaches is sure to pay dividends in the long run:
- Refer to your Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform. The valuable customer data, insights, and quirks recorded in your CRM can help inspire future marketing efforts towards similar customers. Analyze your customer relationship trends to see what "tone" of voice, which content pieces, and other variables convinced a company to become a long term customer.
- Approach your customer advocates for insights. The customers who truly like your brand—and have proven so by becoming brand ambassadors—are positioned to tell you what the company is doing right.
- Put together a focus group. Based on your market segmentation, arrange a focus group of potential prospects in which you offer value and become knowledgeable about what your customers might be looking for in products and services like yours.
- Jump into your industry's social scene. You might have a presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and Google+, but are you being social? Using a social media marketing management platform can help you identify important market changes on a day-to-day basis, as well as provide unique opportunities to boost brand awareness.
Once you've nailed down what your customers want—in excruciating detail, if necessary—you're prepared to build marketing automation workflows that show exactly how your brand story will unfold.
When building the "logic" behind your marketing automation, it's important not to leave any stone unturned. Since it will be the backbone of your lead gen efforts, all relevant parties in the company should be on the same page and ready to implement the plan from day one.
Establish a Plan to Track Campaign Progress and Performance
You'll need to track everything you do—both quantitatively and qualitatively—as you drive the marketing "car." Even if you counter errors while using marketing automation, you'll be able to see exactly where and how you can improve the experience for your audience, leading them to like (and consider purchasing from) your brand even more. You'll also save precious time by identifying weak spots in your campaign.
Here's what you can do to qualitatively assess campaign performance:
- Look at brand sentiment. As an enterprise-level company, you have an established market presence already. That means there's already some sentiment in your industry towards your brand, products, and customer service, and that knowledge is essential for spot-on marketing messaging. With careful content planning, positive sentiment can be built upon, and existing negative sentiment can be extinguished. Social listening will clarify your view on what people think of your company.
- Review audience feedback on past marketing collateral. Which whitepapers, email newsletters, blog posts, webinars, and other content pieces have generated the most positive interactions and general buzz? The qualities that made those pieces successful might be important to take note of as you create future content for automation.
Of course, quantitative measures are critical as well:
- Establish important KPIs. You'll want to look specifically at conversion rates per channel (including all outposts of your marketing messages, such as individual social networks, blogs, and other outlets), customer acquisition cost, and other metrics that are specifically relevant to your brand and industry buying cycle. It's also critical to have across-the-board agreement on what "conversions" mean at various points in your sales funnel.
- Commit to testing every aspect of your campaign. You might choose to run both A/B and multivariate testing on marketing tactics to ensure you're constantly improving their performance.
For every successful implementation of marketing automation, there's a B2B marketer behind it who's focused on refining the campaign on a small and large scale.
[Tweet "#MarketingAutomation is a rear-view camera, not a self-driving car. Here's why…"]
Launch Your Campaigns
If you've laid all the groundwork—cementing a specific strategy for drawing leads into your sales funnel, committing to testing every part of your campaigns, and making sure sales and marketing are all on board with the plans—it's time to let the "rear-view camera" of marketing automation do its job for you.
Of course, you'll remain in the driver's seat, collecting feedback from your audience and leveraging real-time dialogue across sales and marketing teams to refine the campaign along the way. In particular, you might look for new "entry points" into developing or changing segments of the market, since B2B markets are constantly changing. Involving your marketing team and employee advocates in social media communities is a great way to stay relevant at all times.
Just like the basic accessories of a car are useful if used adeptly and thoughtfully, marketing automation can only benefit lead acquisition and brand messaging efforts when marketing is fully involved in planning, testing, and tracking campaigns. By keeping those things in mind, you'll be able to set up your marketing automation efforts for the success that the most prominent brands are experiencing right now.

Why Network Marketing
Network marketing is essentially a compensation plan that allows a person to get paid as a business by leveraging their immediate personal relationships or "warm market" to sell a product or service and eventually grow beyond that warm market into the cold market of targeted leads. Many times the network marketing compensation plan allows a person to recruit and teach a system of sales and talent management which allows the recruiter to earn a percentage of the efforts of the team they build. It's a system, which properly executed creates an environment that breeds success.
One particular network marketing system is also widely known as multi-level marketing.
So let's address the obvious question - Why does network marketing get a bad reputation? Luckily for you, I wrote about that too, so go check it out. Some of the most influential things, people, and ideas have bad reputations. Doesn't make any of them any less powerful.
Network Marketing is a Business
Network marketing franchises can be held and operated by businesses or by individuals as sole proprietors. The future belongs to those who can earn enough to design their own lifestyle. And businesses are designed by definition to earn more. If you want more control of your financial future, you need a business.
Network Marketing has a built in Business Plan
A goal without a plan is a wish. Anyone can start a business. Most state filed LLC's can be registered for under $500. Whether you start a $100, $500, $10,000, or $1,000,000 business, you need a plan a for your business - without fail. A business without a plan is a dead business simply waiting to topple over. This is still the reason why if you want a loan from a bank to support your business, you better show them a plan or you won't even get a conversation. But we all know in today's era, small business loans, especially for startups are almost unheard of.
Network Marketing is a Duplicatable System
Any company worth their weight has success stories. Stories which highlight the human condition as benefited from their product, service, vision, or mission. A good company worth its weight knows how to duplicate these success stories at the most efficient rate possible. A good company is of value to the market and helps the people it touches. A good network company is no different. It's entire existence is based on developing a better system of success for those who want to plug into it. It's simply up to the individual business owner to connect their product with their customer - which is the exact same thing for any business owner. Which brings us to...
Network Marketing is just like every other business
Network marketing is no different than any other business you put your hands on. It all comes down to a plan, making connections, communicating value, positioning, making calls, talking to people, follow-up, build up people, evaluate, rinse and repeat. It has a failure rate of over 97%, which is no different than any other American startup. It's a business. If you work it as one, it pays you as one. If you work it as a employee who's waiting on someone tell them what to do, well....you probably won't get paid anything. And that's what different about it as well...
Network marketing isn't like other businesses
You can choose your industry. There's a network marketing model in ever industry from make-up, health supplements, cook ware, legal services, pharmaceuticals, energy, and my personal favorite, bills. Basically, if you look hard enough, you should be able to find a company that suits your interests. That's the beauty of having a choice in what you sell, unlike your current job which expects you to push a product, service, or person you don't believe in. Also, unlike many traditional brick and mortar franchises [$1,000,000+ for McDonlds and Taco Bell], network marketing business have some of the lowest cost of entry making them accessible to every day individuals who sometimes have more work ethic than cash in the bank.
Network Marketing can change your inner circle
The people you breathe the most air with shape your life. This includes your spouse, your children, your family, your friends, and your co-workers. You spend time with them, and your gonna get what they have, including the common cold. But you'll also get their opportunities, their mindset, their challenges, and their relationships. We are who we choose to hang around with. Some of you reading this know your friends aren't worth much to your future. In many cases, they're holding your future from being what it can be. Many times, choosing a reputable network marketing company with people you can see yourself emulating, will automatically put you around a better group of individuals bound by shared goals, self-betterment, and shared success.
Network marketing teaches sales skills
Newsflash: You Live in America. Which basically means you spend your days either selling something or being sold something. Usually both - because our entire economy is built on sales. Sales is the single universal skill in our world. No matter if you manufacture metal widgets, or you want to live on your artwork. If you don't know how to turn your product into cash, you have nothing of monetary value. Salespeople keep commerce moving, and if you want to have an impact in this country, you better be sharpening up your sales skills.
Network marketing can change your life
Let's just be real for a second. People who get involved in network marketing are looking for something, a vehicle that can change the trajectory of a person's life. Through network marketing - but more importantly through sales - a person can learn how to earn substantially more money than they ever would have by clocking in and out at measly hourly wages. By plugging into a proven system of sales, success, and mentorship, a person can grow into an individual they always knew was inside, but maybe didn't know how to bring that person out. Or grow into a person who truly can touch the lives of thousands of others in positive and meaningful way on a consistent basis. The life-changing stories are always the best ones.
Network marketing can make you a better person
As I mentioned earlier, network marketing at its core a compensation plan - math. It's a legal way to potentially earn more income without selling drugs. But way more important than that, it will test who a person believes themselves to be. If money is your issue, the compensation plan and promotion model will show you exactly how you can earn more money. It's simply math. You sell, you grow, you earn. That's the easy part. The hard part is facing who you believe yourself to be so that you can honestly humble yourself enough to learn and more importantly, execute on the plan at hand. And it's an uncomfortable process to face your shortcomings so you can be the best version of yourself possible. And that's why people quit. Most people would rather make an excuse rather than face the person they need to be in order to be successful. The upside is for the ones who face themselves and their personal growth head on, the sky is the limit. You can have a lasting impact on thousands of lives and thousands of families throughout time.
Network marketing teaches you how to serve others
No company or person finds ultimate success without service. And therein lies the disconnect with our culture and our culture's success model. Our culture teaches consumption whereas no success comes without service. In many reputable network marketing companies, your success as a business owner is directly linked to your ability to breed successful habits and behaviors in your team. In order to do this, you need to be of tangible service to your team. Training, phone calls, accessibility, simply lending an ear, coaching, redirecting, or whatever else comes to mind. You are there to serve others, and your customers. Personally, unless you find yourself voluntarily serving Charlie Sheen, I've never seen someone become a worse person by learning how to be more selfless.

In her book Birdology, naturalist Sy Montgomery describes the beauty and intricacy of an ordinary hummingbird.
Hummingbirds are the lightest birds in the sky. Of their roughly 240 species … the largest, an Andean "giant," is only eight inches long; the smallest, the bee hummingbird of Cuba, is just over two inches long and weighs a single gram.
Delicacy is the trade-off that hummingbirds have made for their unrivaled powers of flight. Alone among birds, they can hover, fly backward, even fly upside down. For such small birds, their speed is astonishing: in his courtship display to impress a female, a male Allen's hummingbird, for instance, can dive out of the sky at sixty-one miles per hour … (Diving at 385 body-lengths per second, this hummer beats the peregrine falcoln's dives … and even bests the space shuttle as it screams down through the atmosphere at 207 body lengths per second.)
Hummingbirds' wings beat at a rate that makes them a blur to human eyes, more than sixty times a second …. They are little more than bubbles fringed with iridescent feathers—air wrapped in light …. In most birds, 15 to 25 percent of the body is given over to flying muscles. In a hummingbird's body, flight muscles account for 35 percent. An enormous heart constitutes up to 2.5 percent of its body weight—the largest per body weight of all vertebrates …. A person as active as a hummingbird would need 155,000 calories a day …. Each [hummingbird] is just a speck … yet each is an infinite mystery.
Montgomery doesn't discuss her stance towards faith, but she often expresses her awe and wonder in the presence of God's beauty and creativity. At one point Montgomery quotes a woman who works with baby hummingbirds who says, "You know that kind of awestruck feeling you get when you look at a great work of art? That sense of wonder, that sense of connection to something great and mysterious? It's the same feeling looking at a … hummingbird."
This Sunday begins a new series on the book of Genesis. (Yup, I'm going Old Testament.) And the best place to start is at the beginning—the very beginning—with Genesis 1.
It's a passage that's seen its share of controversy over the last century or two. I'll talk a little bit about that controversy. But I don't want the real message to be obscured over the current debate over creation. The real point is "that sense of wonder" that Montgomery is talking about and the fact that, from the Bible's point of view, it is an expected response to God's power and goodness.

Healing in His Wings/
Sermon text: Mark 5:22-34 and Numbers 15:37-41
Most of us are at least a little familiar with the story from Mark 5 concerning the woman who reaches out and touches Jesus' garment looking for some kind of healing. I have paired it this morning with a passage from Numbers that may help us understand what is going on in the mark story. I hope so anyway.
Numbers is the 4th book of the Hebrews scriptures, part of the Torah, the first 5 books. Torah was given to the Jews by Moses at Sinai. They saw it as life, how to live. Pre-eminent in the life of a Jew, in Jesus' time, Torah was everything. It was sometimes referred to as the Way, the Truth and the Life. In Numbers 15 God tells Moses to attach tassels to the corners of their garments. They were to look at and to remember the commands of the Lord, a visual reminder if you like. Kind of like we look at a cross. An observant Torah following Jew would wear a prayer shawl, even today you will see these shawls... See full sermon here

Today I will be continuing my epic non-traditional holiday meal recipes by highlighting my healthy Christmas day breakfast!
This particular one can be made vegan, if you choose.
I have been really making an effort lately to stay on course, and eat foods that are easily digested and assimilated so that I can be the healthiest version of myself.
I have been practicing correct food combining for ideal enzyme release and digestion (more to come on food combining in a separate blog post), and increasing my intake of probiotic foods.
This breakfast was created not only with health being the top priority in mind, but also for flavor.
Vegan or not vegan, you can enjoy this breakfast guilt-free!
*Tip: Allow two extra days in advance for sprouting the quinoa before starting the cooking process.
Healthy Holiday Breakfast
For the Flatbread:
What you'll need:
*1 cup quinoa (allow approx.. 2 days for sprouting)
*1/8 cup melted coconut oil
*1-2 cloves raw garlic
*1/2-1 teaspoon pink Himalayan sea salt
*1/2 teaspoon pepper
*slightly less than 1/8 tsp Xanthan gum (can be purchased at a health food store)
*1-2 teaspoons thyme, oregano or Italian seasoning (whatever you have on hand- optional)
For the rest:
*organic avocado
*organic spinach
*organic yellow onions
*1 clove fresh garlic, minced
*enough coconut oil for sautéing
*pink Himalayan sea salt
*black pepper
*organic raw sauerkraut (click the links below for my favorite brands)
*1 egg, over-easy (optional)
*smoked salmon (optional)
My favorite sauerkraut:
How to:
1. Soak quinoa over night in 4 cups filtered water in a glass bowl (cover with paper towel to allow to breathe). The next day rinse the quinoa at least once. Place quinoa into a fine mesh strainer, spread evenly and set strainer in a glass bowl to allow for drainage. Cover with a paper towel and allow quinoa to sprout for 12-24 hours (you will know it is done when you see the little "tails" emerge from the grain). Rinse quinoa once more, before cooking.
2. Cook quinoa by simmering in water (enough to cover quinoa thoroughly in a small pot) for 7-10 minutes, until quinoa is cooked but not mushy. While quinoa is cooking, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Drain quinoa thoroughly in a fine mesh strainer.
3. Put sprouted and cooked quinoa into a food processor. Add coconut oil, salt, pepper, garlic, optional herbs and Xanthan gum. Blend until creamy. This will be quite thick.
4. Grease a baking sheet with melted coconut oil. Use your hands or a spatula to spread the quinoa batter evenly onto the baking sheet. This should be spread quite thin, but make sure there are no holes.
5. Place it in the oven for 15-18 minutes, or until slightly crispy.
6. You can use this flatbread for this particular recipe (which I'm about to share), or as a pizza crust. You can also freeze it for later.
7. While the crust is baking, cook up over-easy eggs (as many as you desire…just be sure to keep the yolks runny) and begin sautéing onions and spinach (as much as you desire).
8. Once the crust is done baking, allow to cool for a few minutes. Then, using a pizza slicer, divide the flatbread into 4 equal triangle sections.
9. Place a section of flatbread on your plate and top with over-easy eggs. Place sautéed spinach and onion mixture on the side, as well as a little smoked salmon and garnish with a couple slices of fresh avocado and sauerkraut.
10. *For the vegan option, simply eliminate eggs and smoked salmon and instead, top flatbread with onion and spinach. Season as desired with sea salt and pepper.

Finding Good Reads for Women's History Month
By Cindy Cohrs-Brandt
March is Women's History Month and what better time to share with your child a biography about a woman? As an elementary school librarian and a mom, I know how important it is to help your child find a book that matches their interest. Here are a few tips for selecting that perfect book that celebrates women's history and the contributions women have made to the world!
1. Explore your child's interest: Do you have a budding scientist? Athlete? Writer? There is a woman's biography for that! Imagine how your child can be inspired to write after reading J.K. Rowling's biography, soar to new places after learning about the life of Sally Ride or aspire to become a tennis player with the biography of Venus and Serena Williams.
2. Make history come alive: What better way to make history come alive than to "see" the event through the life of someone who was there? History is no longer just a list of facts or events but through a biography, your child can experience and understand the emotions, triumphs or setbacks of the times. The Civil Rights movement takes on a whole new meaning after reading about the bravery of a young Ruby Bridges or Rosa Parks and the Civil War becomes alive when your child can be "alongside" Clara Barton as she heroically nursed soldiers on the battlefield.
3. Have an adventure: Turn a family outing into an opportunity to learn more about women. A nature walk can be a wonderful time to learn about Rachel Carson, a visit to the zoo would be more meaningful after reading about Jane Goodall and your child will have a much greater appreciation for music after enjoying a book about their favorite female musician. Even a routine visit to the doctor can spark an interest in Elizabeth Blackwell or other pioneering women doctors.
4. Ask an expert: The first place to turn for help is your school or local public library. Librarians are ready to suggest the perfect women's biography based upon your child's interest and reading abilities! Not sure who they might want to read about? No problem, they can also assist your child in finding a new book to explore. When visiting a museum, park, or historic site, be sure to ask the docents or curators for book recommendations and don't forget to to check out the gift shops! Often, they will have a selection of biographies to choose from.
5. Other resources: There are a number of great resources to find the perfect women's history book for your child. A good place to start is to check out the Penguin Books "Who Was" series. This series is wildly popular among my students and new titles are added all the time. Amazon offers an extensive listing of children's books on women's history. The Amazon book descriptions often include the suggested reading level of the book, book reviews and a summary that can help in book selection. To spark their interest, encourage your child to search Ducksters or Time for Kids, on their own for a woman to learn more about.
