There you are: young, carefree and with a few weeks of holiday break to burn. If you listen closely you can hear Europe calling! Assuming you already have your passport, you are off and running. The European Union is slowly pulling in all the far corners of Western Europe and that means everyone is turning to an economy based on the euro-dollar. With a little pre-planning you can still travel all over, see plenty of sites and eat more than bread and wine.
In no particular order are the top five European hotspots for the 18-25 year old set (or anyone else who is into traveling light!).
First up is Prague, Czech Republic: Perhaps the most youth-oriented city I know of, Prague has captured its history like no other. Because Prague was basically left alone during WWII, it has in many ways remained the same for years and managed to preserve its beauty. Scattered throughout the city are pubs catering to young adults (18-25), trendy cafes, traditional restaurants, winding cobblestone pathways and romantic parks and gardens (where Europeans are not afraid to show PDA). So not to miss the hidden alleyways, revealing mystery and history, Prague is best experienced on foot. Check out the AC archives for other articles of mine on Prague or check out https://thepnw.co/
I personally feel that the "real" Prague is best discovered when the sun sets until about 3 or 4 in the morning. That's when the jazz and blues bars come alive. But for more standard sightseeing, check out the following: the Hradèany Museum, Josefov (the Old Jewish Quarter), the Malá Strana district, Old Town Square and Petrin Hill. Check out www.prague.cz for all the information you could ever hope to find — and in English to boot!
Next up, lets jet over to London, England: The number one study abroad location for American students, England's capital, London is a wonderful city full of exiting things to see and do. The best way to get around the city is by subway (or as they call it in England, "the underground"). From these underground stops you can usually walk to most of the area's best attractions.
For a beautiful view of London, take a ride on the London Eye (an observation wheel). If you are into art, stop by the National Gallery or the Tate Modern. For history enthusiasts, the Tower of London never fails to impress. If you need a break from all that sightseeing, take a stroll in one of London's many parks or visit a market. Portobello Road market is certainly worth a visit on Saturday.
One of the nicest aspects of London is that it has one of the least expensive international flights available for American students (not counting Canada). Travel websites www.statravel.com or www.studentuniverse.com usually offer the best prices, and provide spring break discounts as well when flying from the United States. If you're already in Europe and country-hopping from place to place, consider www.Ryanair.com or similar no-frills airlines. (I flew from Southern Italy to London for 19 euro. Once in London however — get ready – student or not, because it is one very expensive place. In fact, London is the third most expensive city in the world, following Tokyo and Osaka, based on annual cost of living.
Far be it from me to tell you what to see or where to go. But the big ticket items in London include the following sites: the British Museum, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Camden Market and Covent Garden,
One of the most reliable sites to go to for information on London is www.visitlondon.com. I also recommend checking out an AC article I wrote on Youth Hostels.
Third on our list is reserved for Budapest, Hungary. Budapest boasts having the best nightlife in all of Europe. That's debatable but certainly it's a 24 hour town. The capital of Hungary, Budapest's tradition and culture is still thriving. Although Westernization advancement is affecting the deep-rooted traditions, the beauty and ancient feel of the city will always set Budapest apart. The Danube River winds through the city center, providing great views from the many parks, hills and gardens. Budapest rests atop thermal hot springs and cool mineral springs, which creates opportunities to visit the many old-fashioned bathhouses and spas.
Notable sites include but aren't limited to Castle Hill, City Park, Gellért Hill, Király Baths and the Magyar Állami Operaház (Opera House). Check out www.budapestinfo.hu/en for more information.
Next up is Amsterdam, Netherlands: It goes without saying that Amsterdam is known for its very unique and bizarre selection of museums and restaurant styles. The Red Light District also draws crowds of all kinds looking to discover the city's exotic night life. Amsterdam is like no other city in Europe, with lots to do and experience, you don't have go far to be entertained. Check out my AC article on Amsterdam for dos and don't on visiting the Red Light District.
Tourists scatter throughout the cobbled streets during the summer months; yet the Dutch culture still remains predominant. Canals glide throughout the city, with lush parks and bicycle "owned" winding streets following beside. Voted by travelers as one of the hardest cities to leave, Amsterdam has maintained a very relaxed, laid-back atmosphere, which has proven ideal for backpackers.
Amsterdam is another city where life really begins after dark. But while you wait for the sun to set, you can visit the Begijnhof courtyard, take a boatride through the canals, ponder Vincent at the Van Gogh Museum, visit the Stedelijk Museum and the Southern Canal Belt. You can also tap into www.visitamsterdam.nl for more information.
Last but not least is Valencia, Spain. It may well beEurope's best-kept secret, and with good reason: Valencia is on the southern Mediterranean coast, about two hours southeast of Madrid, Spain's capital. Valencia is rapidly becoming a very popular student destination. The San Francisco-like city is safe, inexpensive and the night-life is varied and alive. Valencia feels young and vivacious and the locals are personable and friendly.
Similar to Prague, Valencia is best seen on foot. Aside from Barcelona, Valencia is the only Spanish city that has ferry access to the Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Ibiza and Menorca) every day at 3 p.m. From the Valencian harbor, students can catch a four hour ferry to any of these popular spring break locations. Be prepared for lots of tourists. And don't forget to check out the Tomato Festival better known as "La Tomatina" which takes place in August. Read all about it in my AC article.
The City of Arts and Sciences (Ciudad de Las Artes y Las Ciencias), Jardin Botanico (Botanical Garden), the Central Market, Fallas Museu, El Palmar and the Albufera of Valencia are but a few of the many places to see and enjoy.
For more information log on to www.turisvalencia.es or www.24-7valencia.com. And tell them Gary sent you.
One last note: a EuroRail pass is still a good way for students to travel, but these days there are so many inexpensive regional airlines jetting tourists back and forth, you can easily travel quicker and cheaper by air. Just a thought!
So there you have it! And you thought there'd be nothing for you to do during holiday break! Are you kidding? As a student, you have all of Europe at your beck and call – in fact the hardest thing may be going back to school!

It's been a simply glorious late summer day here, perfect for a walk in the park
where a book fair was sponsored by a chocolate company
and where the authors were delightfully friendly, his book intriguing
A day full of fun, art, books, chocolate, books, more chocolate, laughter, sunshine, art and Chicos , after which we took the bus downtown and ate supper in the fresh air of Madison Square at our favourite Shake Shack. It was still light as we joined the end of the queue, dark when we got to eat. Was the queue long or what?
After nightcap Mojitos in the Algonquin down the street, Jordi's headed home. Happy days.


text: I'm not really in a girly mood. Today's art work is inspired by @vicrosegold. I decided to play in the original picture in the background. I think my favorite part of this piece has to be the jacket. I actually lost my stylus..once again. So this was done with only my finger. Go me. Not really.

As long as we can remember, Cedar has closed his eyes when wanting to savor something, whether it be food or a song he is singing or music/instruments he is listening to or when he is swinging in a swing. Moments that move him.
This was our first canoe ride outside of the bay that is down the street from our home. This time we had to drive to our destination and pull the canoe down to a dock. The cliffs towered above him, the islands surrounded us. He was a bit afraid and unsure as the waters had more movement than the calm waters near our home. This is how he chose to calm himself. The organic lollipop he found in my purse helped too. It totally worked as a pretty microphone. ; )
I love the way he self soothes. It reaches into a place inside of him that is so ancient and deep. Then he opens his eyes and its back into the present world of childlike play..."Airplane!". ; )

Donald Trump played us. Again.
The "budget" released this morning by the Office of Management and Budget is not a "budget;" it's just a Trump campaign press release masquerading as a government document.
Trump's so-called "skinny" budget includes proposals for just one-third of all federal spending, doesn't mention revenues, doesn't include any forecasts about the economy and doesn't include a summary table showing what the federal deficit and debt will be because of his proposals.
To say the least, it's fiscally incomplete.
It's also politically incompetent.
Because of the Trump administration's habit of leaking proposals before they're formally released, we already know that the most controversial proposed spending reductions in the plan are unacceptable to congressional Republicans. The Trump document (I absolutely refuse to refer to it as a "budget"; you should too) was called "dead on arrival" weeks ago not by House or Senate Democrats but by a GOP senator.
Like many of the other plans that have come from the Trump White House since Inauguration Day, this document was released prematurely and is anything but well-conceived. Also just like many of the other Trump efforts and initiatives (think about the now multiple travel bans and Obama's alleged wiretapping, for example), this too will have to be walked back and revised in the not-too-distant future.
The document released this morning is just the latest example of Trump's refusal to follow the rules, laws and precedents that have guided all of his recent predecessors. As this wonderful table prepared by federal budget wiz Richard Kogan of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities shows quite clearly, Trump is the first newly-elected president to submit his first limited fiscal plan (again...not a budget) without most of the major elements that make the federal budget a budget.
This follows Trump's refusal to release his tax returns during or after the campaign, his apparent disdain and dismissal of the ethics rules and his personal business empire and his recent refusal to confirm that he actually donated his salary as president as he promised to do. It also follows the Trump administration's attempt to discredit the Congressional Budget Office and his campaign's efforts to undermine the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Because of this, you have to wonder what other long-established budget, spending and tax norms will be challenged and violated by the Trump White House. Based on the document released today, it might be best to assume that it will be all of them.

Beakus signs new talent!
We were completely smitten by the work of new directing talent Rory Waudby-Tolley from the moment we caught sight of his wonderful film Mr Madila at the RCA graduation show earlier this year. Clever, funny, inventive, succinct, deceptive and eye-opening, it was the stand-out film in an amazing year of new grads. Rory's approach to storytelling broke the mould, cleverly animating a conversation that may, or may not, have happened, with an esoteric mix of 2D, 3D and live-action. PLEASE catch Mr Madila at a festival near you, or plead with us and we may be able to share it in secret - such a fantastic film!
Asides from that, we discovered, Rory is also a top bloke, with a lot of interests and creativity that propels his work. He trained at the country's top 3D school (the National Centre for Computer Animation), but found a love for 2D and bullied his 3D skills in to tools that work across genre. His 2D design reminds us of the legendary Don Hertzfeldt, his 3D of David O'Reilly, and his abstract work shakes everything up. This guy is complex (we thought) but actually, turns out, he's really nice!
To sum up, we're just completely thrilled to bring him to Beakus, and look forward to working on lots of great projects together. Aw, was that a bit gushy? Stuff it.

The King and Gentoo Penguins at Sea World have kick-started World Penguin Day celebrations in-style by enjoying a delicious fish ice cake and a collection of their favourite toys and treats in the world-class Penguin Encounter exhibit.
World Penguin Day is on the 25th April and marks the annual northward migration of Penguins and is day dedicated to the flightless birds and raising awareness of ocean rubbish, which is a serious threat to all coastal birds.
The World Penguin Day celebrations at Sea World included in-park activities such as educational presentations, arts and crafts at the Plaza and a Discovery Quest.
Sea World's Penguin Encounter Supervisor, Katrina Krygger said World Penguin Day is a special occasion for all the penguins in the park.
"The King and Gentoo Penguins are instinctively curious and the fish cake, toys and treats provide colourful and dynamic enrichment for the birds," she said.
"However their inquisitive nature can be detrimental to the birds in the wild when they choose discarded fishing line and rubbish as their new toys which can result in entanglements which is why it is important to use events such as this to raise awareness about the effect ocean rubbish has on Penguins.
"The Penguins at Sea World are also ambassadors for climate change and the amazing Penguin Encounter exhibit allows our guests to gain insight into Penguins in an environment which provides a unique educational experience where they can learn about the effects of climate change in the Antarctic region."
The best way to see the King and Gentoo Penguins is with a Village Roadshow Theme Parks One Pass which provided unlimited entry to Sea World, Warner Bros. Movie World, Wet'n'Wild Gold Coast and Paradise Country for 12-months. For more information visit seaworld.com.au or call 13 33 86.

Machine Learning
Apache Ignite Machine Learning (ML) is a set of simple, scalable and efficient tools that allow building predictive machine learning models without costly data transfers.
The rationale for adding machine and deep learning (DL) to Apache Ignite is quite simple. Today's data scientists have to deal with two major factors that keep ML from mainstream adoption.
First, the models are trained and deployed (after the training is over) in different systems. The data scientists have to wait for ETL or some other data transfer process to move the data into a system like Apache Mahout or Apache Spark for a training purpose. Then they have to wait while this process completes and redeploy the models in a production environment. The whole process can take hours moving terabytes of data from one system to another. Moreover, the training part usually happens over the old data set.
The second factor is related to scalability. ML and DL algorithms that have to process data sets which no longer fit within a single server unit are constantly growing. This urges the data scientist to come up with sophisticated solutions or turn to distributed computing platforms such as Apache Spark and TensorFlow. However, those platforms mostly solve only a part of the puzzle which is the models training, making it a burden of the developers to decide how do deploy the models in production later.
Ignite Machine Learning relies on Ignite's memory-centric storage that brings massive scalability for ML and DL tasks and eliminates the wait imposed by ETL between the different systems. For instance, it allows users to run ML/DL training and inference directly on data stored across memory and disk in an Ignite cluster. Next, Ignite provides a host of ML and DL algorithms that are optimized for Ignite's collocated distributed processing. These implementations deliver in-memory speed and unlimited horizontal scalability when running in place against massive data sets or incrementally against incoming data streams, without requiring the data to be moved into another store. By eliminating the data movement and the long processing wait times, Ignite Machine learning enables continuous learning that can improve decisions based on the latest data as it arrives in real-time.
Apache Ignite Machine Learning is tolerant to node failures. This means that in the case of node failures during the learning process, all recovery procedures will be transparent to the user, learning processes won't be interrupted, and we will get results in the time similar to the case when all nodes work fine.
Genetic Algorithms
Machine learning component goes with a set of genetic algorithms (GA) which is a method of solving optimization problems by simulating the process of biological evolution.
GAs are excellent for searching through large and complex data sets for an optimal solution. Real world applications of GAs include: automotive design, computer gaming, robotics, investments, traffic/shipment routing and more.

If you were wondering how our morning went.
The words of the Toddler, the daughter of Matthew, software engineer in Fairfax.
Vanity of vanities, says the Toddler,
vanity of vanities! All is vanity.
I said in my heart, "Come now, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy yourself." But behold, this also was vanity. I said of laughter, "It is mad," and of pleasure, "What use is it?" I searched with my heart how to cheer my body with chocolate milk—my heart still guiding me with wisdom—and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the children of man to do under heaven during the few days of their life.

AERA: What Do We Mean When We Talk About Teacher Shortages?
From the Education Week Blog
Debates over perceived teacher shortages often conflate different problems and make it more difficult to find sustainable ways to get every student a good teacher.
That was the consensus at one of the opening symposiums of the American Educational Research Association's annual conference on Thursday. Linda Darling-Hammond, founder of the Learning Policy Institute, a think tank, led researchers debating how educators and policymakers can better understand what influences teacher shortages from state to state.
Different studies have measured teacher staffing issues differently—from reported district vacancies or the number of applicants per position, to overall teacher-student ratios, to the...

Cutting the cake in the background of www.digitalserver.com.mx/servidores-dedicados.shtml weddings has always been an incredible custom. Some brides and grooms are reserved, just cautiously positioning the cake around the suggestion of the tongue, ensuring that there are no crumbs on both facet in the mouth. They savor every morsel and therefore are even a little bit shy about this. Then you'll find those that truly want a rip-roaring time of it, and cram as much cake because they can as quickly because they can into anywhere they might. In any case, there is certainly another thing that is common in any sort of cake reducing ceremony. It is actually the knife and cake server set. Deciding on among these sets is just as vital as picking out the flatware or perhaps the china. It's going to be a memento of that big day for the remainder of the couples' lives. There are plenty of to select from, and listed here certainly are a couple of:
Individualized: This kind has the couples' identify and/or date engraved about the established. Owning all those vows completely established inside the steel to ensure they're there for the life time might be quite sentimental and passionate.

Crystal: Just about every woman's' ideal good friend would be the diamond, plus the crystal dealt with knife and cake server established will go together nicely by using a wedding that is certainly dripping with diamonds, and crystal stemware. That icy look incorporates a draw that lets you know it is some thing exclusive.
White: Classic in each and every sense with the term. White is usually appropriate and will choose every little thing. Should you really are a little over the standard facet, you can not go completely wrong with white. Out of any with the options readily available, white has been with weddings the longest.
Ivory: Ivory has constantly been coveted. Ivory has an inviting glance. Who can resist the warm experience of it? Particularly when it truly is not a primary wedding. But, although it is, ivory incorporates a attraction all its individual.
Coloured: You'll be able to decide on a coloration according to your personal concept and identity. You can tie the established in properly that has a coloration that matches all the things else.
With no Accents: What if you only are not able to choose?

Renewal Meets Need for Kidney Connections
Kidney donor Jennifer Green and recipient Jonathan Levin marvel at the services of Renewal, the New York-based support organization for kidney transplants.
The organization was born 12 years ago as the result of a relatively ordinary episode. Inside a waiting room, Mendy Reiner met a middle-aged man with bloodshot eyes who looked drunk.
"I lost my job," the man said, prompting Reiner to reach into his pocket and hand him $40.
"No, young man, I don't need your money," the man said, shaking his head. "I need a kidney."
Reiner responded by placing ads with his phone number in several newspapers: "Father of five, blood type O, in need of kidney."
Twenty to 30 people called to say they were willing to donate a kidney or to inquire about finding out their blood type, while others called to ask for help getting a kidney for themselves or loved ones.
The idea took root, and Reiner was on a mission. He visited various organizations, sharing his vision of helping people find kidney donors through the media.
"You're crazy," Reiner heard time after time. "No one will donate a kidney because of an ad in the paper."
Reiner approached Sendy Orenstein, the founder of many community organizations, who agreed that the plan would never work. After much insisting by Reiner, Orenstein agreed to
try it, directing Reiner to Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz.
Rabbi Steinmetz, the current director at Renewal, paved the way for Renewal to work with transplant centers. Orenstein now is the president of Renewal.
"If we do one transplant, our investment will have paid off," Reiner said. "Two will be a grand slam. Fast-forward — Renewal did 64 transplants in 2015. Our organization is responsible for 25 percent of all altruistic kidney transplants in the United States."
Altruistic transplants are those in which a living donor is not giving to a close friend or family member.
Renewal helps recipients encourage their friends and neighbors, engendering a sense of community and unity.
"Guilt and pressure are never employed," Rabbi Sturm said. "Kidney donation is not for everyone. Donors need family support, health clearance, and can't do it on a whim. It has to be a well-thought-out decision. Our goal is to simply create awareness."
"We recently transplanted a 76-year-old professor who advertised on Facebook," Reiner said. "The donor was a doctor who had bought a commodity that the professor invented; they already had a connection."
Renewal has facilitated transplants into children as young as 2, and the oldest recipient is 82.
"Each case is unique," Rabbi Sturm said. "Usually patients come to us at the end stage of renal failure, and we come up with a strategy to help them find a donor. It is awesome to be able to interact with regular people on a regular basis doing something extraordinary. When I see families vying for the privilege of helping their loved one, it is beautiful."
A 16-year-old girl's donor told Rabbi Sturm that her father has always been her teacher. "But when I saw him donate a kidney," she said, "it made all the difference in the world."
The rabbi said donors just see the world differently. For example, an ad for a mother of three who needed a kidney inspired wide sympathy for the woman, but the eventual donor focused on the three children who needed their mother.
"When I speak to donors about their motivation," Rabbi Sturm said, "I am continually awed anew. Time after time I've waited to hear earth-shattering revelations. But the simplicity is profound: 'Someone needed it. I had it, so I did it.' "

Juventus' €341m Ronaldo gamble fails in abysmal Ajax exit
The Italian champions' failings were laid bare for all to see in an abject home performance as they were deservedly routed by a brilliant Ajax team.
The arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo in Turin last summer was supposed to herald a new dawn of Champions League dominance for Juventus, after so many close calls. Those expensive plans - at a total cost of €341 million (£294m/$383m in wages and transfer fee - were left in pieces on Tuesday as Ajax ran riot to prove that one player on his own can never make a team.
Death, taxes and Ronaldo coming to the fore on a Champions League evening. Life holds very few certainties for any of us, but seeing the Portuguese take a starring role when it most counts in European competition is about as close to a given as it gets.
So when the tournament's all-time leading goalscorer and their saviour against Atletico Madrid powered home a header to put his side ahead in the first half – aided by Matthijs de Ligt's unfortunate tumble – the script appeared to be written. Ajax's fairytale looked set to come to an end thanks to the supreme talents of Juve's talisman.
Ajax, however, refused to play a secondary role. Having sought to take the initiative throughout the opening 45 minutes the Dutch side caught a break when Donny van de Beek received the ball in blissful solitude inside the area. The midfielder finished impeccably to level at 2-2 on aggregate, leaving the tie poised on a knife-edge as the two teams went back to the dressing room for half-time.
Having shown a reluctance to push forward that is near-inexplicable given the array of stars at their disposal, Juve were plunged into a dilemma.
Open the game up and risk going toe-to-toe with the dangerous visitors, or continue to stack men behind the ball and wait for Ronaldo to once more come to the rescue?
Despite the entrance of Moise Kean to give his side a more direct route to goal, the answer was overwhelmingly the second option. Juve were played off the park by an Ajax team that surpassed them both in ambition and execution and only two stunning interventions by Wojciech Szczesny in goal kept the scoreline level.
But the Juve No. 1 could do nothing when Ajax's onslaught finally bore fruit. Having lost Ronaldo in the build-up to the goal De Ligt made amends by rising majestically to meet Lasse Schone's corner and send the away support into ecstasy.
There was no way back for the demoralised Italians, whose 23-year wait for a Champions League title will be delayed for at least another season.
Nothing should be taken away from the victorious Eredivisie side, who proved decisively over both legs that their incredible toppling of reigning champions Real Madrid was no fluke. At no point in the tie did Juventus have the better of their rivals, who produced scintillating football to book a deserved place in the last four.
The lesson of this quarter-final is impossible to escape, though. Ronaldo gave everything for his new club, scoring in both games to keep them in the running. But, perhaps lulled into complacency by the ease of their upcoming eighth Scudetto in a row, Massimiliano Allegri's men seem to have forgotten along the way that it is teams rather than individuals that win big trophies - a fact never better demonstrated than by Wednesday's swashbuckling victors.
There are no shortcuts to success at this level. Even with the record-breaking hitman in tow, Juve were insipid and predictable and now need to rebuild again after a Champions League campaign that promised so much, never managed to ignite and now ends with the most pitiful of whimpers.

Physiotherapy, also called physical therapy, is used to treat pain by using methods such as interferential therapy, ultrasonic, short wave diathermy, wax therapy, and muscle strengthening exercises.
Physiotherapy plays an important role in the recovery of stroke patients. It also plays a major role in treating children with cerebral palsy, and in cardiopulmonary rehabilitation.
Physiotherapy has three main categories which are orthopedics, neurophysiotherapy, and cardiorespiratory physiotherapy.
It is known to the world that Physiotherapist are doctors, but till 1886 it was not consider as Doctors. They didn't had the right degree to enter themselves in medicines. These were the people of masseuse who protested and made campaign about making them placed in Medicine. After 72 years of protest they were given the permission to enter the medicine line. But in some countries Physiotherapist are still not consider as doctors, they just call them masseuse.

Back-to-School Drive/
Mere days after wrapping up work on the Midsummer Mixer, PaperSeed California turned their sights to their annual backpack drive. This year they opted for a "Giving Tree" style drive in which people pick an apple card with a child's name, age and gender on it, purchase that child a backpack, fill it with supplies from a recommended list, and bring it back to be donated. Employees have already brought in a colorful array of bags. Some also included small gifts like books they cherished when they were in school, stickers and notes of encouragement for the year.
This year, PaperSeed is working with the Farifax-San Anselmo Children's Center and their goal is to supply 36 backpacks to FSACC's 2nd-5th graders. Others have lent their support by means of cash donations, which PaperSeed CA members will use to purchase any remaining backpacks and supplies that may be needed.
The California team is grateful for the generosity of their San Rafael co-workers, and plans to throw an ice cream party for the whole office if their goal is reached. California committee Vice President, Megan Lima added, "I'm really excited that we're once again bringing our group together to help out some deserving kids."

I can work with a theme that has already been decided, help the event leaders come up with a theme, or I can seek the Lord and see where He leads. I never repeat messages and speak from where God is moving in my life at the moment in correlation with event theme or purpose. The only exception to this is during the holidays because I'm often asked to speak about making the most of the holidays due to my work with Sacred Holidays, so those messages can be similar (while I do change up the general them from year to year).
My speaking style is adjusted based off of the size of the group, but I try to be very casual, conversational, direct, and empowering. I share a lot of "me too" (before it was a hashtag and a movement), letting women know that I am right there with them with their struggles, joys, fears, hopes and dreams. Always weaved into any message is that God is enough and able, He is worthy of our pursuit, He wants to use us, and there is great joy and freedom in Him.
I consider myself apart of your event team. I am not there just to give a message (or a few messages for conferences and retreats) but to partner with you in ministering to the women that come. I am available the whole time to help you with the event and further connect with the women that have come.
Do you have any of your past speaking engagements recorded? Or do you have a contact list of references?
Sure do! I recorded many of my teachings walking through the book of James with my weekly Bible study at our church, Church Project. (One thing to note, this is my home church and a group I know really well. So my approach is a bit more casual and I have studied hard to speak the language that is best for them. During our pre-speaking call I will assess with you what is the best approach for your ladies to best hear God's Word.) Click the links below to listen:
I do not have any videos of my teaching a group of women at this time, however, I do have some videos of me talking on camera when Lifeway came to my house to film videos for the release of my book. (Note that all of these were unrehearsed and unscripted, and I will definitely prepare when I come to your event! However, this will still give you an idea of what I'm like in person.)
In addition, here is a video I recorded live recently on the 700 Club:
Also, I am happy to connect you with the ministry leaders that I have recently worked with for you to get a reference both about my speaking and how I am to work with. Contact me today if you'd like this list.
This is always the hardest question for ministries to ask but I know it matters, so I always like to answer it early. (Grin.) I know, after working at several churches and being a part of several ministries, that every budget is different. Let me know what your speaker budget is and we will work from there together. I do require that any travel outside of the Houston area is covered in addition to the speaker honorarium. If your speaker budget isn't something I can work within, then I am always happy to recommend other speakers that are!
I am willing to travel anywhere in the United States, and am open to international events. I will drive up to three hours from Houston, Texas, further than that and flights will need to be provided. In addition, as I said in the fees section, all travel must be covered.
I believe in Jesus and aim to follow Him. I know there are one million variations of that answer these days. The most specific way I can answer is below in my Statement of Beliefs section. I wouldn't say I align with a certain denomination. I was raised Methodist, after I became a Christian I was a part of a Baptist church, and since been in Non-Denominational churches. I consider myself a spiritual mut. One thing I've learned is that we are all a part of the church, all following Jesus together. Our expressions of that pursuit differ from time to time, but the core of who we are is the same. During our pre-speaking call I will find out if there are any things I need to be sensitive to or aware of about your specific denomination. For the most part, all of what I teach is denomination-neutral.
If you have specific theological questions, please ask!
IF YOU AREN'T available, DO YOU RECOMMEND OTHER SPEAKERS?
Of course! In fact, I LOVE getting to share my friends and favorite speakers with you! If I'm not available I'd still love to help you find the best speaker for your ladies. There are so many wildly gifted women and I know several personally and am happy to pass along their information to you.
If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact me anytime.

Tommy Seymour insists losing Finn Russell will not cramp Scotland's attacking style against France on Saturday.
Gregor Townsend's team have suffered yet another major injury blow after Racing 92 star Russell was ruled out of Saturday's Guinness Six Nations clash in Paris.
The former Glasgow fly-half had given Scotland a glimmer of hope he could recover from a weekend head injury when he arrived symptom-free in Edinburgh on Monday.
But his chances quickly evaporated and the Scots will now have to cope without their maverick playmaker at the Stade de France.
Townsend is likely to turn to the Warriors' new holder of the number 10 jersey Adam Hastings or his Scotstoun colleague Peter Horne, while Worcester's Duncan Weir is another option after being called up over the weekend.
None of the above offer the electric spark Russell provides while on top of his game but Seymour insists Scotland will not have to rein in their free-flowing game plan to accommodate his replacement.
The Glasgow wing said: "We've got a style of play we want to adhere to. All the guys know that, all the guys coming in are more than capable of playing that way.
"Finn has been playing really well and it's a shame, but these guys are fully capable of executing the game plan. We won't be changing massively the things we'll be looking to do based on one injury.
"I have full confidence that all three of our 10s can come in and play very well. They're all experienced at this level, they've all shown both at club and international level they can manage a game and manage it very well and be standout performers."
Russell's absence is the latest setback to hit Townsend's planning, with key men Stuart Hogg, Ryan Wilson, Huw Jones, Sam Skinner and WP Nel fresh additions to an injury list that was already 19 names long before the tournament got underway.
The Scotland faithful could be forgiven for feeling a sense of dread as they prepare to face Les Bleus this weekend at a venue where their side have not won for 20 years.
But Seymour is trying to look on the bright side by talking up the the possibilities on offer as the Scots' second string make the step up.
"It's unfortunate when anyone gets injured in a competition like this where there isn't a massive amount of time for recuperation," he said. "It's not ideal that we've lost the guys we've lost, but we've been talking for quite a long time about the depth we've created and this is a good test for us.
"We've got some really talented individuals coming in that can play rugby and certainly can play rugby at this level. In a World Cup year, it's valuable experience for these guys.
"We'll use this as a tool to get better as a squad. You can't replicate the guys we've lost but we're still very confident in achieving results and performances."
While the Scots are preoccupied with their fitness woes, France have their own troubles to worry about.
Jacques Brunel watched with horror as his side threw away a 16-point half-time lead to lose their Championship opener at home to Wales before crashing 44-8 against England last time out.
Yet Seymour said: "I wouldn't go so far as to say there is a vulnerability about them. They will obviously be disappointed with some of the aspects of their first two games.
"But they'll be feeling after a week's break, going back to Stade de France, with a new-look team that they are going out with the passion to set things right. It'll be a huge challenge for us to go across and make sure we perform."

My attention has just been drawn to the Haversham Bridge when I was reminded that the older road bridge was washed away in a flood in 1939. This photograph, taken on October 18th 1939 from the Wolverton side, shows the result.
This bridge was then replaced by a "Bailey Bridge". These were a wartime cantilever design used by the army in WWII and it was a fast and sensible solution to link Haversham and Wolverton – and Castlethorpe and Hanslope too. Unfortunately this temporary solution, which was a very narrow bridge, lasted for about 20 years. Two small cars, say Austin A30s, could pass, but for a van or lorry it was a single lane. Traffic was very light in those days and so no traffic lights were needed.
In about 1958 or 9 work started on a new bridge. The contractor, Caffins, had their trailer parked there for a least a year and it seemed to me that the building took an extraordinarily long time. As I say, traffic was light in those days, so it was not a major inconvenience.
Two of Wolverton's most notorious drunken roustabouts worked on this project. I won't mention their names, but you could pick up the Wolverton Express on any given week and find one or the other up on a charge of assault or affray in the Magistrate's Court. I am told that they were barred from most pubs in the district.
The road to Haversham was re-routed several times. Originally it turned off the Old Wolverton Road to the west of the old railway line and crossed the river beside Mead Mill. The drawing below, prepared by George Stephenson, shows the diversion and takes the new road alongside the east embankment, probably joining the old wooden bridge shown in the engraving further below. As you can see from the pencil marks the route of the old road was typical in that it went round fields rather than cutting a straight path. The new viaduct and railway line did bring about some straightening.
After the loop line was constructed in 1881 (now the present railway line) the road was moved again, now joining the Bradwell-Wolverton Road half way up the hill by the Drill Hall. It is possible that a newer bridge on brick pillars was built at this time. Mead Mill had in any case been abandoned at this date and there was no need for the bridge to be closer to the viaduct.
And finally, a view from an engraving of 1839, which shows a ramshackle old wooden bridge that probably served well in the era of horse and cart.

French movies have a reputation for being some of the most stylish, elegant and ground-breaking of filmmaking, with a variety from high-budget, art-house, socially conscious dramas, gruesome horror movies, hilarious comedy's, and everything thrown in-between, including their love of sex, as the French are not afraid to confront challenging issues.
Cannes comes to Melbourne, with a huge selection of French movies, and the line-up this year is exciting, with a remarkable assortment of movies.
When visiting France, one of the highlights is always The Palace of Versailles, with the famous hall of mirrors, regal buildings, gardens and fountains. A visual delight, which is one of the finest locations for any movie sets.
The festival is showing two high-budget movies in the court of Versailles.
Farewell My Queen, has an amazing line up on brilliant actors, stars Léa Seydoux, Diane Kruger, Virginie Ledoyen, Xavier Beauvois and Mozarts Sister, starring Marie Féret, Clovis Fouin, Marc Barbé, David Moreau, two drama movies not to be missed.
Cannes comes to Melbourne, and my choice of movie is Mal De Pierres, starring my favorite French actress Marion Cotillard. If you read my favorite five French movies, you will know my love for any movie starring Marion.
Comedy movies produced in France are incredibly funny. Be prepared to step out of the box, and laugh until you have tears.
Lost in Paris is my first choice, as the main character, played by Fiona Gordon, is an extremely "kooky" Canadian, trying desperately to find her 93-year-old Aunt Martha, played by another of my favorite actors, Emmanuelle Riva, who stars in one of my favorite French movies, Armour.
Penny Pincer is another comedy I recommend, and will see if time persists.
Omar Sy starred in my favorite French movie of all times, The Intouchables, is another French actor who I follow. He plays an ex-slave, circus performer in Monsieur Chocolat, which was a box office hit in France, so worth checking out.
There has been a strong feminist movement in France since the start of the French Revolution, in 1789. This is projected today in many French movies.
In Bed With Victoria - a Parisian criminal lawyer and single mother battling to survive her two worlds, and the world of ex-husbands, younger lover, and a low sexual libido. As stated above, the French are not scared to "keep it real" with controversial subjects, which are real life. This movie is high on my must-see list.
Things To Come – another from the feminist list that interests me. Nathalie is a philosophy college teacher in Paris, married, two grown-up children. A 50-something who needs to re-invent her life and reassess her future after her husband leaves her suddenly for another woman.
The French Movie Festival is Australia wide. For city dates, and more movies, please go to:

Never at his chattiest within an hour of waking, my son gives my question short shrift. "It's art. It's not supposed to have any meaning."
"If it hasn't any meaning, it's meaningless," I say.
"So?" he says, staring through the windscreen.
I hesitate, knowing how questions bug him before the caffeine kicks in. "Well what's the point of something that's meaningless?"
He turns to look at me now, not quite irritated yet. "What's the point of a tree?" he says. "Do you know what I mean? What's the point of a nice sky?"
"So it's about beauty then? I ask and answer it myself. "It can't be. A lot of art isn't beautiful. So what is it?"
"I don't know," he says, exasperated now. "I just make the shit."
I laugh. "You're going to have to do better than that if somebody interviews you."
"Well yeah," he agrees. "You get your bollocks worked out before you talk to people. About 20% of this course, if I get in, is going to be ...."
"It will be interesting though," I suggest.
He stretches and yawns widely. "I guess. But some people believe too much in the bollocks. If you make art you're an artist and what you make is art. That's all there is to it."
"It's a bit tautologous," I say.
"Nothing wrong with a good tautology," he says, as his aunt pulls up, gets out of her car and walks towards us, her face well-wreathed in wool.
Some kind of neuralgia makes Helen suffer seriously in the cold, so she wore a balaclava for a while. But too many pulls by the police persuaded her to ditch it and buy scarves. Not nearly as cosy, she tells me, but you get arrested much less.
"My satnav went quiet suddenly and I could only hear it by putting my ear up close," she says. "Then I couldn't see where I was going and got lost. Are you fed up waiting?"
"We're fine," I tell her. "We've been analysing art."
"I don't think you can analyse art," she says, as she climbs into the back seat and I pull away from the kerb.
"Ha!" my son says. "That's what I've been trying to tell him, but he never listens, d'you know what I mean?"
"I certainly do," she says.
"Have you any idea how often you say 'd'you know what I mean?'" I say, aiming to divert them from the well-worn topic of my deficiencies.
"No, but it's a handy phrase," he says. "Turn right here and we'll park in the multi-storey, then walk to the exhibition.
"I'll use it if I get half way through a sentence and have no idea what I'm talking about," he continues. "Or if I just can't be arsed finishing it. Nine times out of ten, the person you're talking to will go, 'I do - I know exactly what you mean.'
"It's a great way to get a reputation as a deep thinker."
"Let me get this straight," I say, pulling into a parking bay on the ground floor. "Not only does your art not mean anything, but very often you don't mean anything either?"
"Spot on," he says. "Do you think you do?"

Strategies for success contain elements that are related to character. For most people success is a strong instinct that pushes you towards the opportunity and for others it needs to be developed. These elements help to determine the following action or the next decision in reaching the desired goal.
Success is about responsibility, you need to be responsible for your actions. It is also about commitment and following through with decisions to reach the goal. There needs to be purpose for the actions and reason for accomplishment with a passion that provides the energy for completion. Overall the desire to learn and ability to change are key elements that ensure success.
Professionalism isn't just about appearance, it's also about mannerisms and what you contribute to the surroundings. Take care of yourself, practice good hygiene and select appropriate apparel for the occasion. Be respectful of others, it's contagious and others will take your lead and return the same admiration. Attitude needs to be positive, we all have challenging days, but overcoming the hurdles is part of success and critical to reaching the goal.
Communication is an important key to influencing the interactions that take place daily. Connecting to the situation and working through the circumstances are just parts of success. Learn to listen with an open mind; you will be surprised at what you hear. Be aware that there are always two sides to any conversation. Take in the information and respond with positive and honest feedback. In order to be effective you need to be willing to accepted criticism and use the information constructively.
Striving for excellence may be the toughest element, this is where the ability to see the whole picture with all of the pieces in their place. You need to understanding the value of each piece as part of the expected outcome. Create a value system and stick to proven methods using principles and standards that produced previous results of excellence. Above all, use sound judgment based on morality and ethics that demonstrate those values and convictions.
You need to be willing to acknowledge the need for change and accept the modification or revisions needed for success. Be part of the solutions sharing the enthusiasm of improvements, while keeping a sense of humor to persevere towards the goal. In order for success to happen change is evitable and relinquishing control can be difficult. Adapting is part of success.

In this APTV interview, the Summer Set opens up about their new album, Stories For Monday, which came out in early April. It's their first self-produced album, and no acoustic instruments appear on it, based off of a rule that bassist Stephen Gomez had while producing the work.
The band, dressed in fancy clothes during the interview, also talk about when they almost broke up, before the release of the album. "We are dressed up because six months ago, it was our funeral," says singer Brian Dales.
When the Summer Set was about to break up, it hit all the band members hard. "I just spent that whole time in denial," says drummer Jess Bowen. "It was, for me, the most traumatic experience."
Now, they are all glad to be back together; the title of the album, Stories For Monday, signifies a new start for the band.

Complimentary Eye Examination day at LAU Medical Center- Rizk Hospital
The Ophthalmology Department at the LAU Medical Center-Rizk Hospital has always been one of the leading eye departments in the country in offering excellent care for patients. As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility campaign, the medical center has partnered with the Vision Care Association (VCA) for its free eye evaluation campaign. The VCA is a non-profit organization that provides free eye care assessments along with other medical, educational and social services for all individuals across the Middle East.
Families living in different suburban areas of Lebanon were invited for a free eye care assessment in the LAU Medical Center- Rizk Hospital garden, where they were offered comprehensive eye examination and diagnostic testing. "Our mission today is to provide every individual with the needed eye care, especially that here, at LAU Medical Center- Rizk Hospital we have a multi-disciplinary team of eye specialists and professional staff, in addition to cutting-edge eye equipment with an active residency training program" said Dr. Nicola Ghazi, professor and Chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology at the LAU Medical Center- Rizk Hospital. He continued: "today we were able to test more than 350 people over a period of 4 hours thanks to our ophthalmologists, residents, optometrists, clinical coordinators, nurses and administrative staff, not to forget the amazing support provided by the Vision Care Association for the success of this event."
In addition, this event aimed to educate a high percentage of people about the importance of routine eye examination and to shed light on various ophthalmic diseases as well as systemic diseases that may affect the eye.

Asset Deallocation
|Asset Deallocation
|Leenaars, M.A.G.J.; Šuklje, M.
|January 2017
|The Commons Conservancy
This document is part of the DRACC series, see DRACC "Introduction to DRACC Series" for an explanation. You can reuse it under a "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International" license.
If a Programme has certain parts of its (intangible) assets which are of interest to (an)other Programme(s), the Programme MAY decide to share these assets in the manner described in DRACC "Asset Sharing" -- provided such is in line with its own statutes and regulations, as well as the overall statutes and regulations of [The Commons Conservancy].
Once assets are shared among a set of Programmes, the moral stewardship has become a shared responsibility for all Programmes involved. If after some time part or all of the Shared Assets involved are obsoleted within one of the Programmes, and if that Programme decides that its role in the maintenance of those assets is finally done, it MAY divest of these assets according to the procedure laid out in this document.
Asset Deallocation
Asset Deallocation is defined as the formal process in which a (set of) Programme(s) voluntarily divests itself of all rights to specific assets that are mapped to it inside [The Commons Conservancy] -- where mapping is to be interpreted in the sense of DRACC 'Mapping Rights to Programmes'.
Any (set of) Programme(s) MAY Deallocate any asset it has claims to, unless there are specific provisions in the statutes or regulations of the (set of) Programme(s). An Asset Deallocation SHALL require a formal decision from the Programme. Deallocation becomes effective when the Board of [The Commons Conservancy] implements that decision, which shall happen automatically unless there are binding provisions in the statutes or regulations of (any of) the Programme(s) involved that would invalidate the decision. The Programme SHALL be informed of the changes in the status of an Asset Deallocation.
Asset Deallocation leaves the remaining Programme(s) within [The Commons Conservancy] with which the assets were previously shared with the responsibilities and rights to make any and all decisions regarding all assets involved. After an Asset Deallocation the Programme is relieved of the responsibilities it may have had with regards to the assets, but as a consequence it will also no longer be consulted regarding any future decisions about the assets. Asset Deallocation terminates the direct moral stewardship a Programme holds in regards to the assets involved.
Asset Transferral
If assets are to be transferred directly to a known (set of) Programme(s), a two step process is required:
- Assets are Shared with the (set) of Programme(s), according to the Asset Sharing procedure described in the "Asset Sharing" DRACC. This takes an active, voluntary decision from all the existing ethical (co-)stewards within [The Commons Conservancy].
- The (set of) Programme(s) that wish to transfer their assets, now Deallocate their assets.
Asset Reallocation
If no Programmes remain to which the assets involved are to be allocated to, those assets are (from the moment on which the assets are Deallocated) to be treated as if they were contributed directly to [The Commons Conservancy] -- as described in DRACC 'Mapping Rights to Programmes'.
Should a Programme wish to undo


text: If you have been dreaming about betting on Lewis Hamilton or Sebastian Vettel while they're racing, then your dream has finally come true. The owners of Formula 1 have struck a deal for adding in-race betting with Interregional Sports Group (ISG), a marketing agency based in London. Reportedly, the deal is worth over $100m. With the aim to introduce new ways of engaging with the sport, Liberty Media, the brand's owner, announced a data rights and sponsorship deal with ISG. This will be the first-ever strategic partnership, a ground-breaking partnership, if we may, allowing all Formula 1 fans to bet live on the race. The deal will grant betting brands rights to include in-play betting, of course, in regulated markets. How Will It Work? With Sportradar monitoring potential fraud, millions of people from all around the world will be finally able to place bets on the prestigious Grand Prix. The betting brands will be able to introduce bettors with branded on-screen graphics, digital integration with the Formula 1 platforms and a trackside signage. This means that the data will be taken from the track directly, something that is already popular with many other sports, like football, for instance. The access rights for all of these would be issued by ISG, but not directly. In fact, ISG will give a sub-license to Betting Partnership Rights, which will be responsible to select the betting brands that can include this type of in-play betting, subject to regulations. Sportsradar, a Switzerland-based data analyzing and sports betting firm, on the other hand, will provide assistance in relation to integrity policies and safety, preventing match-fixing and corruption. Why Now? This is a historic betting sponsorship by Formula 1 in 40 years. The previous Formula 1 owner, Bernie Ecclestone, denied associating the brand with any type of gambling activities with the mission of preserving its grandiose image. And even though many, if not all other sports, were signing sponsorship deals with gambling and sports betting companies which were multi-million worth and have increased in value over the last 40 years, Ecclestone stood by his principles for all these years. Having in mind that these types of sponsorships earned the most successful teams a fortune, Liberty Media, who acquired Formula 1 for $8bn in 2017, saw the opportunity and made Formula 1 fans wish come true. But the fans are not the only ones who will benefit from this sponsorship. In fact, this deal with Sportsradar and ISG will allow advertisements to be displayed track-side on billboards. The top gambling brands' ads will be flashed on-screen on the track while you watch the race. Will The Betting Be Allowed Everywhere? There are some limitations to the betting, though. Formula 1 takes place in 21 different countries worldwide, in some of which gambling is prohibited or gambling ads during live streams are prohibited. This means that there will be further negotiations and additions to the contract and the public is yet to be informed. Most likely, the betting will be regionalized. It is interesting enough that the time of introducing this betting idea coincides with the time the U.S. Supreme Court removed the federal ban on the sports betting. This means that US sports spectators will, at last, be able to wager on their favorite teams. Why Involve ISG and Sportsradar? ISG has done an impressive job working with La Liga and Serie A, for instance. They have taken the sport to a global level and have managed to draw the audience's attention to the teams. This is the expertise Formula 1 needs, according to Sean Bratches, the Formula 1's managing director. He says ISG shares their passion of making Formula 1 one of the world's leading sports entertainment source. Their success in many other sports proves that ISG has already achieved that for them, providing them with global audiences through virtual advertising. Having in mind that Formula 1 already has a worldwide audience, this partnership will definitely enhance Formula 1's popularity and people's interest in the sport. In order to further engage the world with the greatest racing event, Bratches says the best practice oversight is necessary to ensure integrity. This could only be done with the aid of Sportsradar, who is the leader in sports data distribution globally and has already worked with UEFA, FIFA, NBA and more. Sportsradar distributes integrity services against any type of fraudulent activities and corruption in sports. Sportsradar, a worldwide recognized name is integral in providing bettors with a guarantee that all the wagers are perfectly safe.
