Over 40 dads signed up to an exciting new reading programme for children yesterday delivered through A Better Start Southend.
Fathers Reading Every Day (FRED) is a four-week programme designed to get dads into the habit of reading to their child every day. Launch events took place yesterday (29 September) at Barons Court Primary School, Milton Hall Primary School and Nursery, and Summercourt Children's Centre.
Research shows that children who grow up with warm, nurturing, and actively involved fathers and male carers do better in school, have high self-esteem, behave better and build better relationships with other children.
David Booth, Phase Leader, at Milton Hall Primary School, said: "We've invited fathers, and by fathers we mean a significant person in the child's life, which could be Dad, Stepdad, Grandad, Uncle or older brother to join FRED."
Salma, mother to Abdulmalik, who came with his Uncle, said: "I want him to read. Usually I take him to the library, but I wanted him to be part of this community and meet other people. That's why I came." Asked if he liked reading, Abdulmalik enthusiastically shouted "Yes!"
David attended with granddaughter Madison: "We read with all our children when they were little and we want to do it with the grandchildren too."
One Dad said: "I think it's a really good initiative. Anything that gets more children into books and reading and learning quicker has got to be a good idea."
Mrs Knight, Assistant Headteacher at Milton Hall, was pleased with the launch: "It's been such a great turn-out – we couldn't let all the parents in who wanted to come when they saw what was happening. We've had lots of mums who are going to pass on the books so that dads can do the reading."
At the launch event fathers committed to reading with their child every day. The Fatherhood Institute explained how the scheme works and then guests were free to browse the books on offer and settle down to read them there or take them away for later.
Fathers will be supported to understand the importance of reading with their children; how to read to their child; how to bring the stories alive; and how to support their child's learning during the process. They will be encouraged to keep a reading log to record the reading sessions and progress.
The programme will finish with a party in November where the success of the children and the fathers will be celebrated.

The inauguration of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as the fifth president of the Fourth Republic of Ghana has attracted exciting reactions from the country's creative arts industry.
Industry players took to their social media pages to congratulate and celebrate the new president, as well as wish him well in his call to govern his country.
Below are some of the comments from the celebs on social media:
Prince David Osei
"His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo President of Ghana (5th President of the 4th Republic) God bless you Sir!!I believe and I know God who has honored you this day will grant you enormous wisdom and power to rule this great nation and make Ghana great again.. we are solidly behind you in prayers…God bless our motherland Ghana.. LONGLIVE the BLACK STAR OF AFRICA. Finally, the Elephant is in…the Tusk of the elephant stands for supremacy..Onapoooskiiiiiii."
Okyeame Quophie
"Being a Ghanaian must stand for something!" (HE Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo, the just sworn-in President of the Republic of Ghana). Well said. The greatest and most promising speech ever made in contemporary years – a mark of leadership of transformation. Well said Mr President! We need some national psyching and identity into responsible and patriotic people. My hope has been heightened. Even that will be enough if you accomplish it – may the Lord grace you. We critically and urgently need human identification and transformation as a people. Only true leaders can cause that to happen.
Bismark The Joke
May the good Lord guide you in your office. Hashtag President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. God is the reason ….. peace.
Kwaw Kese
"The man who never gave up on his dreams. You more than worked hard. Congrats Mr President Nana Akufo-Addo."
Funny Face
Even if the swearing in sword or staff is to be announced missing, cutlass will be used to swear Nana into his presidential office!! It is his day … Congrats!!
Regina Van Helvert
Congratulations going out to the new president of the Republic of Ghana.
Okyeame Kwame
"Being a Ghanaian is more than holding a birth certificate; it is a responsibility on all of us to build a prosperous and a fair nation. Congratulations to you, H.E @NAkufoaddo. I am proud to be Ghanaian."
Lydia Forson
Seeing former leaders congratulate @NAkufoaddo, share jokes and laughter has been the highlight of this. What a day to be Ghanaian.
Nii Funny
"Akufo-Addo has taken over we pray God enables him to deliver on his campaign promises, especially free SHS and jobs. Congratulations to NPP and Ghana."
Stacy Amoateng
"In God's time always comes to great perfection. Ghana has won again. God bless our homeland Ghana."

Together, We Are Reaching New Heights
Redwoods are the fastest growing softwood trees in the United States, growing only in the coastal regions of California and Oregon. The conditions there are perfect for these trees to live an average of 600 years, and many live more than 2,000 year. Redwoods are immense, mysterious, and spectacular trees with a tremendous heritage for us to learn from. Consider these parallels:
Redwoods reach up to the heavens further than the length of a football field – up to 370 feet! Just pause for a moment to express gratitude to the Lord for Southern Baptists who have given through the Cooperative Program to touch lives with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Many who experienced life change as a result of ministries supported through the Cooperative Program have now reached a place called heaven.
Redwoods can grow up to 22 feet wide. The Cooperative Program allows Southern Baptists to join together to span out to parts of the world where the Gospel of Jesus Christ has never been heard. What many local churches could never do as one church becomes possible as congregations throughout the land join together to allow the truth to be shared through the Cooperative Program. The width of the program is our partnering spirit.
Much like redwoods, the ministries and missionaries supported through the Cooperative Program will stand tall in places where we live and will reach to the furthermost parts of the world. The Cooperative Program is a mission channel of integrity and credibility whose results will live throughout eternity.

In National Review, former Bush Administration speechwriter Marc Thiessen responds to the review of his book written by The New Yorker's Jane Mayer.
Mr. Thiessen writes:
Mayer declares categorically that "the Bush administration's interrogation policies . . . yielded no appreciable intelligence benefit."
Here is what Ms. Mayer actually said in her article:
Thiessen's book, whose subtitle is "How the C.I.A. Kept America Safe and How Barack Obama Is Inviting the Next Attack," offers a relentless defense of the Bush Administration's interrogation policies, which, according to many critics, sanctioned torture and yielded no appreciable intelligence benefit.
Conclusion: When Mr. Thiessen uses ellipses be sure to check up on what he elides.
Mr. Thiessen continues:
She must not have been listening when Barack Obama's director of national intelligence, Admiral Dennis Blair, declared: "High value information came from [CIA] interrogations in which those methods were used and provided a deeper understanding of the al Qaeda organization that was attacking this country."
This neglects to mention the other statement by Admiral Blair that appeared in the same New York Times article:
"The information gained from these techniques was valuable in some instances, but there is no way of knowing whether the same information could have been obtained through other means," Admiral Blair said in a written statement issued last night. "The bottom line is these techniques have hurt our image around the world, the damage they have done to our interests far outweighed whatever benefit they gave us and they are not essential to our national security."
Mr. Thiessen writes:
She must have forgotten that when she herself interviewed Leon Panetta, Obama's CIA director, he told her, "Important information was gathered from these detainees. [The CIA program] provided information that was acted upon."
Here is the relevant excerpt from Ms. Mayer's article:
Dick Cheney has repeatedly claimed that "enhanced" interrogations yield results. Opponents say that torture is counterproductive. Panetta is more agnostic. He told me, "The bottom line would be this: Yes, important information was gathered from these detainees. It provided information that in fact was acted upon. Was this the only way to obtain this information? I think that will always be an open question." But he is certain that "we did pay a price for using those methods."
Mr. Thiessen writes:
And she must have forgotten her 2007 interview (also quoted in the Panetta article) with John Brennan (now Obama's homeland-security advisor), in which she asked him if enhanced interrogation techniques "were necessary to keep America safe," and he replied: "Would the U.S. be handicapped if the CIA was not, in fact, able to carry out these types of detention and debriefing activities? I would say yes."
Here's the relevant excerpt from Ms. Mayer's article with a bit more context:
Brennan has described himself as an internal critic of waterboarding—a position that friends, such as Emile Nakhleh, a former senior officer, confirm. Yet, in an interview with me two years ago, Brennan defended the use of "enhanced" interrogation techniques and extraordinary renditions, in which the C.I.A. abducted terror suspects around the globe and transported them to other countries to be jailed and interrogated; many of those countries had execrable human-rights records. He also questioned some people's definition of "torture." "I think it's torture when I have to ride in the car with my kids and they have loud rap music on," he said. Asked if "enhanced" interrogation techniques were necessary to keep America safe, he replied, "Would the U.S. be handicapped if the C.I.A. was not, in fact, able to carry out these types of detention and debriefing activities? I would say yes."
In other words, Mr. Brennan is advocating for "enhanced interrogation" but using that term in a way that excludes waterboarding as something that should not be done.
To summarize so far, Mr. Thiessen accuses Jane Mayer of asserting that Bush era interrogations yielded no appreciable intelligence benefit, even though she doesn't assert that — rather, she very clearly reports, accurately, that some of Bush's critics assert that position, never asserting it herself.
Subsequently, he purports to defend his own position about enhanced interrogation, including waterboarding, by selectively quoting people who turn out to argue that either enhanced interrogation generally, or waterboarding in particular, shouldn't be used and do more harm than good. That he neglects to mention their words when they are contrary to his own arguments is telling.
And we're only three short paragraphs into Mr. Thiessen's article.
In paragraph four, Mr. Thiessen notes that various Bush Administration officials assert that the Bush era interrogation program was valuable. This is indisputably true, and in no way disproves anything in Ms. Mayer's review. He then writes, "In her review, Mayer asks us to accept that all of these CIA directors and directors of national intelligence from both Democratic and Republican administrations are wrong, and she is right. Readers can judge for themselves." In fact, Ms. Meyer isn't pitting Bush era officials against herself — she is pitting their views against numerous credible sources, including intelligence experts, who she quotes at length to rebut assertions by Bush Administration officials, and who offer a different account of interrogation practices from 2001 to 2008.
There is a lot left in Mr. Thiessen's piece. I don't have time to assess its remaining paragraphs right now — wading through all the source material is time consuming work — but depending on whether anyone else writes persuasively about them I may return to the subject of his latest writing.
My question is this, and I'm sure it applies to many of us, and not just Thiessen — does he realize what he's doing as he does it? Does he realize that eliding "according to many critics" and instead preceding a quote with "declares categorically" is a mis-characterization? Does he think people won't notice? Or, in his mind, does he really think that Mayer did declare this categorically?
And if Thiessen does understand what he's doing, isn't there a point where if you find it necessary to argue so dishonestly for your position that you re-consider that position? Around the fourth time you strip away clarifying context from a quote, doesn't a little voice inside your brain start to whisper about whether what you're doing is right?
I wonder about this too.
UPDATE II: A response from Mr. Thiessen and my rebuttal are here.

A Truly Free Gift
Posted by Worldview Warriors On Wednesday, March 18, 2015 1 comments
by Logan Ames One of my favorite commercials that currently plays is the one for the Dollar Shave Club (here) where the man walks up to the counter with a pack of razors and is told it will cost him $19.65. Shocked at the price, he tells the cashier that it seems like a lot. The cashier then thinks for a second and says, "It's because of the free gift". At that point, the customer shows excitement as he reaches for the neatly wrapped present on the counter. His momentary joy turns to pain, however, when he picks up the apparent gift and it's connected to a wire that opens a secret compartment below the counter and propels a mechanical boxing glove to punch the man right in the groin area. As he drops to his knee, he is punched again in the forehead. The man had been duped by the promise of a free gift. We love the word "free". Companies know this, so they creatively use it to sell more things. Think about it. When was the last time you received something truly free? I bought a used vehicle last year and convinced the salesman to throw in two free new tires. However, I couldn't receive those tires without making a purchase. And trust me, it wasn't a cheap purchase. The same goes for my brother when he decided to purchase a timeshare after we sat and heard a pitch in Orlando, Florida some years ago. Once the salesman understood that my brother was interested and could possibly afford it, he started throwing in all sorts of incentives, including "free" passes to several Disney amusement parks and other gifts. Were these things truly free? You can say that we didn't have to pay the usual price for those things directly, but again, a purchase of some sort was required. I always chuckle when I got to the grocery or clothing store and the cashier tells me how much money I "saved" using discounts or bonus cards after I've made the purchase. The reason I laugh is because I want to tell them that I could have saved a lot more than I did by not buying anything at all! They didn't really "save" me anything. They just decreased the amount that I needed to spend to get what I wanted. In each of the above scenarios, a purchase is required to get the benefit. But there is one truly free gift offered to every one of us that requires no purchase at all. While Christians would rightfully say this is the gift of salvation, our passage for this week specifically refers to one of the results of God's work of salvation for us - justification. Romans 3:21-31 explains in more detail what the previous passage started to say, that there is no way we could have accomplished what God did by our own works. The sad truth of verse 23 that we all fall short of God's glory makes way for the blessing of verse 24, that "all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus". Paul is very emphatic here. "Freely" and "by his grace" are essentially the same thing, so the goal is for the reader to understand that this gift of justification is truly free. There is no catch, no hidden punching glove, and no required purchase. What do you suppose is the value of this free gift? I can assure you it's higher than anything you've ever imagined. Even if you play the lottery and have dreamed of winning hundreds of millions in cash, that still wouldn't even come close to comparing to the value of this free gift. Just think about one of your sins that you've committed in the past 24 hours. According to God's standard of holiness, that ONE sin would be enough to render you guilty before his throne. Now try to think about all the sins you've committed in that time, then think about all the days you've lived. In our current justice system, when there are numerous counts of the same crime and you are convicted, you receive a sentence for EACH one. All those sentences get added up and that's the total amount of time you are said to "owe" society in prison. If that were true with God, we'd be toast! If you've never heard about this gift before, you may be wondering how such an expensive thing could be given away for free. Well, it's free for you and me, but someone had to pay for it. The idea of justification comes from the court system, and because God is a righteous judge, he couldn't let the sin go unpunished. This is where it may get difficult for us to understand. We hear and maybe even think things like, "If God is loving and forgiving, why couldn't he just forget about our sins?" The answer is that if he did that, he wouldn't really be a holy God because he'd be tolerating sin. That's why verse 26 says that God did what he did "so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus". But what did he do? According to verse 25, God presented Christ, his only Son, as a "sacrifice of atonement" for us. Fancy theologians would call this "propitiation", but it simply means that he was a "substitute" for you and me. God could make sure sin was punished, but rather than punish those who deserved it, he took the penalty himself through the life of his Son. An innocent man bore our penalty so that we could stand justified before a holy and just judge. What's even more fascinating in this passage is that we see that God was planning this for a long time. Later in verse 25, we see that God had "left the sins committed beforehand unpunished". So, the free gift isn't just for you and me and everyone who came after Christ. It was also for those who lived before Jesus who kept their faith in the promised Messiah. Other translations say that God "passed over" their sins. In other words, God did allow their sins to be tolerated, but only temporarily. God's work through Jesus allowed him to deal justly with those sins as well. So, what should be our response? Clearly, this free gift is offered to "those who have faith in Jesus" as the passage declares. But it seems to me that a clear understanding of the fact that we are justified freely should cause us to want to worship our God. David did just that in Psalm 103:10, when he worshiped God and wrote that "he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities". Paul later writes to the Corinthian church that they should flee from sexual immorality and that the only appropriate response is to honor God with their bodies because they were "bought at a price" (1 Corinthians 6:20). How will you respond to this truly free gift? Will you share it with others and encourage them to receive it as well? Will you live your life as a servant of God, understanding that he paid the most expensive price there ever was to buy your justification? I hope you don't ever forget what he did for you, because he didn't forget about you while you were trapped in your sin. This forum is meant to foster discussion and allow for differing viewpoints to be explored with equal and respectful consideration. Any foul language or threatening/abusive comments will be deleted. Users who engage in threatening or abusive comments which are physically harmful in nature, will be reported to the authorities.

Excellent, Logan! Great job using the actual scripture passages to explain God's love and mercy as the Author of the FREE GIFT of his grace. If anyone argues with this, they are arguing with God. And that's okay. He'll meet each of us where we are and if we seek Him, we will find Him, when we seek Him with all our heart. (see Jer. 29:13 for full context)

Week #5
Also here's an inspiration video for the makey makey
So Bri and I got around to branding our installation. We decided to call it FEEL because it encompasses both the emotional side for bri, and my tactile side.
Our branding is two parts, interior colors overlapping for the emotional, and bold outlines for the exterior tactility.
All the symbols and shapes will represent the aspects of happiness, and we wanted a bold diverse color palette.

Did someone say free artwork assistance?
Hopefully by now you've heard about the unstoppable, unflappable, unbeatable in-house designer Karl! If you haven't, let me tell you, when it comes to ultimate fashion, he knows his stuff.
Click the button below to see what magic he can work with your team!
Alright, I'll stop bragging about Karl (for now) and just show you the proof with some of our favorite sublimated jerseys from spring 2017!
And if you're into this post, check out more of our favorite sub designs here:
memphis Turmoil
Our own Karl the Great made these sublimated Gun Show Tanks for the Memphis, TN mixed team, Turmoil. They reordered them again this spring and you can see from their Twitter profile picture that they're pretty pleased with them.
The Fresh Urbs
This funky, fresh mixed team is from the Netherlands! The Fresh Urbs sent us this sick design and we were stoked to print it for them. They live in Amsterdam, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, so how could they resist showing off that skyline?
wildwood team
Discs Out For Harambe
Discs Out For Harambe is headed to Wildwood 2017 with some sweet tanks thanks to Karl. Though initially debating between the names: "Actual Cannibal Shia Labeouf" and "Discs Out For Harambe", it was really a no-brainer once they saw this banana-tastic design.
The friendship PWNies
This friendship-focused team wanted a jersey that appropriately paid homage to the greatness of My Little Pony, and Karl really thrilled everypony with this one! We've got to share some credit with Claire for this design, too, as she's our resident expert on all things Princess Celestia.
brandeis tron
We've been crushing on the Brandeis Men's Team for years, partially because their jerseys are always top of the line, but also because their twitter really cracks us up.
In designing these jerseys, they sent the picture above to Karl. They asked for something representing the newer (and objectively-worse-performance-from-Jeff-Bridges) Tron movie, but when all was said and done, we were pretty stoked on how these intense sub jersey mock-ups turned out. Spoiler alert: they're even better in person, donned by Tron's game-stopping models, er, players.

Marco Benevento returned to The 1Up-Colfax on 7/25 for a fun filled evening of Piano Rock. Having never seen either Marco Benevento or his opening act The Jaden Carlson Band I didn't know what to expect.
The Jaden Carlson band is a name worth remembering. Comprised of 15 year old Jaden on Guitar, Will Trask on drums and Eric Luba, this trio is something to behold. Playing a mix of rock, jam, pop and funk JCB was stellar. We all appreciate natural talent and Jaden is rife with the stuff. She was consistently nailing fast and technical riffs and transitions. However Jaden is only 1/3 of this unit. Will Trask is highly energetic and powerful with his drumming. Eric Luba is described as a "Jedi" because he is doubling as a bass player and keyboardist. I do not know many people who can ably play bass lines on one hand and treble on the other. It basically takes an ambidextrous to do this, let alone do it at a highly technical level. Keep an eye on these guys. They'll be playing the big leagues sooner than you think.
Marco Benevento and his trio jumped on stage for a very energetic evening of music. Marco has an extremely unique style and sound. He utilizes multiple instruments and on top of that he has modified his existing instruments. I've never seen a piano with guitar peddles worked into it. I believe he rigged pick-ups onto the piano strings and into his peddles but I'm not sure. Marco proceeded to seamlessly blend pop, rock and progressive elements into a fantastical but grounded sound. His energy and personality was really conveyed through his technical playing and unique techniques. Marco Benevento's stylish and fun music is worth checking out, blending genres, styles and techniques into a ball of playful art.

We live in a world giving us so much entertainment, excitement and distraction that it is incredibly hard to give your creativity room to breathe. You might watch a show and feel inspired to write a chapter of the book you're working on, but then Netflix gives you the "Next Episode Starts in 30 Seconds" countdown. Naturally, you say "ah, just one more". And then it's 1am, you have work in the morning and you haven't written a single new word for your book. In fact, I took a nice little break after that last sentence because I had NFL Videos up on youtube. It's closed now.
So, if you're anything like me, sometimes you get in a creative groove and it feels great. And sometimes you go from episode 15 to episode 22 of NCIS season 12 in a night. Here are 5 lessons I've learned to get into a creative groove.
1. When You Hear the Muse, Respond
This is the necessary first step because this is the step that separates the people who have talked about their book for 10 years and have 0 pages written, and those who accomplish something. When you have a bit of inspiration for your latest song, story or art piece, do something about it. If you're able to drop what you're doing to work on it, do that. If you are at work or are in some other situation where you can't work on it, take a minute to just jot down your thoughts.
If you ignore the muse because Netflix's countdown got to 0 before you made the effort to reach for the remote, you may never have that specific inspiration again. Worse, you have now spent 45 minutes that would have been effective creative time watching an episode of The Office for the 4th time. Spoiler alert: Michael still hates Toby.
Not only is time wasted and the muse allowed to escape your grasp, but the episode of The Office was still going to be there 3 hours later, the next day, and next month. The muse comes and goes at will, with little to no ability for the creator to control it. Netflix is forever. Well, at least for the foreseeable future.
2. Don't Wait for the Muse
While you need to take advantage of a visit from the muse, don't wait for it. The muse is fickle, but rewards those who work for it. If you write every day, I bet the muse will swing by for a visit more often than if you don't work unless the muse shows up first.
Besides that, you simply cannot rely on the muse. Relying on the muse would be like relying on momentum in a sport. Sure, it's a great wave to ride when you have it, but it can disappear in a second. Not only that, but you have to be able to GET the momentum in the first place. Which means you had to work to earn it when the goings were tough.
Like almost anything in life, the ultimate factor in a quality product will be your time. If you spend 10,000 hours honing your craft vs 1,000, I'm going to put my bets on the 10,000 hour guy being better. I'm also going to guess he will already have a more impressive output.
Waiting for the muse will get you from 0 pages in 10 years to a bunch of random and decent story bits in 10 years. Not waiting for the muse will bring you to a couple trilogies fully written, edited and published in 10 years. Or, at the very least, you will have a ton more accomplished and many more hours where you have fine-tuned your skills.
3. Create the Habit
Motivation is fickle, discipline and habit-building are not. If you get into the habit of working on your creative projects every day, or every Saturday morning, or whatever schedule works for you, that will go a long way. No more of the "I don't really feel like painting today" followed by 6 months of forgetting you were a painter at all. No more years of thinking about songwriting with little or no production (I see you, 21-23 year old me).
Getting into the habit of even 15 minutes a day will go a long long LONG way. As you know, I'm a huge proponent of baby steps, as they are easy to take and yet guarantee constant movement in the right direction. For more on baby steps, check out my post on how to accomplish your goals.
There are a couple great things about getting into the habit of daily creative time. One is that it will become your nature to make constant, if small, creative progress. Your nature before habits is managing to play Fortnite 4 more hours than you planned. If you can get your mindless, go-through-the-motions self to be creatively productive, that's a massive win.
A second great thing about getting into creative habit is it gives you so many more opportunities to let your creativity flow. If you force yourself to work on your latest music composition every day for at least 15 minutes, you may just work for 15 minutes 5 days a week. But the other two you might get into it and end up replacing that 4 hours of Fortnite with 4 hours of arranging the violin and oboe parts.
Forcing yourself to get into the habit will have days where the 15 minutes (or however much time you commit to) is a drag and nothing happens. You're too busy daydreaming of how you're on the episode right before Pam and Jim get together. But it will also give you the days where the 15 minutes blows by and you decide your creativity will own the entire rest of your night. There are few better feelings in the world than those kind of nights.
4. Change Creative Context
This is one of my favorite tips as it has helped me immensely. A bit of background on me will help explain this. I am a singer-songwriter, blogger/podcaster and software developer who plans to also write a book trilogy in the future. My day job is being a software developer, I'm working on a web app on the side with a friend, I'm doing this blog, and I'm the middle of a 12 month stretch where I'm supposed to record and release 12 original songs. So I'm not a creative 1 trick pony. This tip is ESPECIALLY useful if you have multiple creative passions like me.
Some days you just won't be feeling one of your creative projects. You'll sit in front of your piano and everything your fingers do will sound uninspired or derivative and you'll wonder how you ever wrote anything that was any good. It would be easy to throw your hands up in the air and play some Mario Kart.
But don't. Change creative contexts. Try working on your blog instead. Or maybe work on that painting you haven't worked on in a week. Just because the muse is more silent than the lambs for your latest love ballad doesn't mean that you won't become the Superman of painting once you sit with brush in hand.
Even if you DO have an inspired hour at the guitar before the muse leaves you, don't just give up once the inspiration disappears. Change creative contexts. Now see if you can re-inspire yourself with your painting. Maybe check out if you can write blog words better than you can craft lyrics tonight. And then, once you've run out of creative juice in that category, you can even go back to songwriting again!
Changing contexts can allow one inspiration to pour into another and also allows your creative brain to stretch in some different directions. Think of it like working out. You're not going to just bench for an hour at the gym, right? No, first you bench some, then you work on your biceps and abs and legs and THEN go back to some other chest and tricep exercises. By time you get back to chest and triceps, your chest muscles have recovered just enough to not be threatening to pop out like that one scene in Alien.
This is the same exact idea. Just because your brain is tired and seems totally incapable of even figuring out what color green to paint your trees doesn't mean you won't be able to whip out 4 pages of gold for your latest novel. And even if you get some great painting in but then seem to lose all creativity in an instant, when you change creative contexts and then try painting again, you may be able to continue on.
Learning this concept is the difference between coming home and doing 15 minutes of staring at a blank page and then saying "well, I guess it's just me and Netflix tonight" and being able to work for 3 hours on all 3 of your creative projects before finishing the season finale of Stranger Things.
5. Don't Let Learning Time Interfere with Doing Time
If you're anything like me, you try learning everything you can to better master your craft. I've listened to podcasts about all kinds of creativity, from writing a novel to songwriting to how to be efficient in your creative endeavors while holding a full-time job. I've read books about running a business to the social side of business to books on how to influence people. I'm pretty much constantly in self-improvement/go-get-the-future-I-want mode. But a problem that can easily come up is too much time learning and not enough time doing.
An example of this is if it's 11 at night and all the kids and your spouse are asleep, so you have 1 hour to yourself. Then you watch youtube videos about how to write better songs for an hour and go to bed. Then you do the same thing the next night and the next. Soon you have an overwhelming number of things you've heard from Youtube videos and you've forgotten 90% of them and implemented 0% of them.
It is important to prioritize actually DOING your craft over just learning about it. Often the best way to learn is just to do. If there is something you need to learn, go ahead and look it up and then implement it. If you want to learn something you cannot implement right away, don't waste your time. Subscribe to the idea of Just-in-time-learning. This is the idea that you only learn something when it is presently useful to you. If you plan on writing a book in a couple years, maybe don't spend a lot of time learning about how to do that now.
There are a couple of reasons for this. First is that the lazy side of us that wants to mindlessly drain our night away on Rocket League is the same side of us that wants to lazily watch 3 hours of youtube videos on writing a book without actually writing a single page. Second is that we may forget what we learned by time we actually get to implement it, making the time we spent a total waste.
Another way to prevent learning time from interfering with doing time is to learn how to double-dip. If you have a 30 minute commute to work every day, that's 1 hour a day that you can either listen to some dudes on the radio talk about the latest Trump tweet, or listen to podcasts about what you want to learn. If podcasts aren't your thing, then maybe try to get an audiobook on how to write more compelling characters.
Now you have 1 hour of free learning time per day and 1 extra hour of creating, you're welcome.
What are some lessons you've learned from trying to be productive in your creative projects? Which of these lessons will you try to implement this week? If you found this helpful at all or know someone who could benefit from this, please share! If you want to start a discussion, feel free to tweet me @josephNVadala or at us @EscapeTheBoxLab. As always, thank you so much for reading and even more so if you shared!

3) Get accustomed the poker space as well as train with play money
Begin within the play cash tables. Alter the poker space configurations to the liking of yours as well as become used to large buttons, audio, and also visuals.

7) Software
I'd first of all advised Holdem Manager – A data source which records all of the hands and wrists you participate in such you are able to look at blunders. Additionally, it enables you to have actual period data regarding the adversaries of yours while you participate in. Dining room table Ninja is an utilize plan which enables you to make use of warm secrets rather than clicking the large buttons – Invaluable in case actively playing numerous tables.
8) Training Websites
A lot of poker education web sites can be found to produce you a much better play and also the top website will be Card Runners – crammed filled with poker training courses movies for every skill and video games levels, weblogs, technique community forums & mentoring likewise accessible. Really worth looking into. Deuces Cracked, Poker Pwnage, Grind School and Poker Savvy is included by additional instruction web sites.
9) Bonus collecting and find a poker room that suits you
When you had sufficient hands and wrists with a pokerqq space to gather the deposit benefit, it's some time to go upon an additional area. Why don't you begin gathering the subsequent deposit extra for you? At some point you will look for a poker space which can feel normal and also the competitors have to be simple a sufficient amount of you are able to generate a constant revenue.
10) Use the time period to savor yourself
Poker is usually rivoting, annoying, confusing as well as infuriating almost all in 5 mins. Keep in mind poker would be to be experienced, hands and wrists will be lost by you as well as gain hands and wrists but ideally always be grinning in the conclusion on the day time.

Philm - Dave Lombardo
I do not believe there is one soul out there who is into Metal that is not familiar with the name of Dave Lombardo. He has been behind the SLAYER drum kit for so long and has built such a strong reputation that is simply a no miss. Nevertheless, PHILM is the name of the current project featuring Dave on the drums and METAL KAOZ took advantage of the band's recent live performance in Chicago and have a short discussion with him. The interview took place backstage at House Of Blues, in Chicago a few minutes prior to PHILM hitting the stage opening for HALFORD...

When I attended the South Coast Ward in Costa Mesa recently, the bishopric read in new records. It took me a moment to compute when I heard "Paige Nelson" and my daughter stood up. Paige who?
It might take hearing her married name a few more times until it sinks in that the new Mrs. Korey Nelson is our little Poogey! Or, as Andie might say: "How is this possible?"
And, today is Paige Nelson's 24th birthday and even though it was a summer filled with celebrating (due to her wedding), I hope she'll still get a chance to enjoy September 19th and remember how special the Nelson birthday girl is to the Knudsen family!
Birthdays always take me back to births, and just like Paige, her actual birth was simple and uncomplicated. One of the things I love about Paige's personality is how she she doesn't look for or seek out drama in her life. I find this refreshing in anyone but especially for someone her age.
Paige's arrival was smooth sailing but it does make a good story. By my 3rd labor I'd realized the time from contractions to delivery was quick (lucky me!) so when I called Brent's office and learned during lunch he was heading for a swim in La Jolla cove I knew waiting for his return might get dicey.
So, I headed off to Sharp Hospital on my own (pulling over during contractions). When Brent met me at the hospital, post swim workout there was just a few pushes left and out came Paige! And her life has unfolded much like that delivery - pleasant, persistent, pragmatic and purposeful. There are so many great "P" adjectives I could use to describe the birthday girl. We think she is close to perfection but don't want her to feel pressure so let's just wrap up this post by saying she's priceless!
Happy Birthday Paige Elizabeth Knudsen Nelson!

The internet's positive response to a Michigan-based web developer's email to her team letting them know she was taking two days off to tend to her mental health was refreshing, surprising and sad. Refreshing because of the woman's honesty and her CEO's support, surprising because it went viral so quickly, and sad because the response reflected just how infrequent open and supportive conversation about mental health occurs.

Building resiliency in kids with mental health challenges is a year-round process, but the summer months can prove to be especially challenging. The structure of the school day is lacking. So is access to the school's resources for helping kids to cope with both new issues that might crop up and any that are ongoing. As always, the key is providing a positive environment that avoids judgment in favor of nurturing; it's also important to be an active listener when talking with your kids.

Public school administrators with, like totally dorkyfashion sense
areat it
This time, they have struck at Galveston's Ball High School, where student April Barton's rainbow-hued coif has her on the receiving end of vague threats from the principal's office, the Galveston County Daily News reports.
"[A]dministrators at Ball High School in Galveston think her rainbow-striped hair is too distracting and therefore a nuisance, Barton said. They've asked Barton to dye her hair a natural color or face punishment, although they didn't specify what the consequences might be, Barton said."
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.

The school's dress code doesn't expressly ban colorful hair, but as is so often the case, the school has a catch-all, weasel-word phrase about "distractions" and such.
Barton says her hair signals her "creativity." Ball senior Morgan Glenn had another, even more trenchant take, and was even willing to violate Godwin's Law.
"Like Hitler, we all might as well have blond hair and blue eyes," he told the Daily News.

Jamiat leader not happy with Khar as the new Pak FM
Khar, 34, this week became Pakistan`s youngest and first woman Foreign Minister. But Rehman said the decision to give the slot to a woman cannot be called a wise decision.
"We have reservations over the decision and we do not know who she will represent (Pakistan) on the diplomatic front," he told reporters at parliament yesterday.
Rehman said Khar is a businesswoman and "does not have any diplomatic and political experience" and pointed out that she would now face an experienced and wise leader in S M Krishna when she travels to India for talks.
Khar was appointed by President Asif Ali Zardari on the advice of Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and both leaders praised her shortly after she took oath as the country`s 26th Foreign Minister.
She will have important engagements in coming days, including ministerial-level talks in New Delhi on July 27.
Khar will travel to Indonesia this week to attend an ASEAN conference, where she is expected to meet US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Chinese Foreign Minister on the sidelines of the meet.
Referring to the upcoming talks with India, Rehman said Khar will face a "very senior, experienced and wise" leader when she meets Krishna on July 27.
"What priorities will our new Foreign Minister have and how will she fight Pakistan`s case?" said Rehman, who heads a special parliamentary committee on Kashmir.

empty promises and trust?02:04:00
As time goes by, I feel that I am slowly getting more and more insecure about the people around me and I am beginning to lose trust in people. The feeling gets worst each day and I am tired of everyone. I am tired of people giving me false hopes and making empty promises. Why do you do that?
I don't blame people or think that people are being too insecure. You know sometimes it is experiences that make people that way. Maybe we used to have a trust level of 100%, being too naive and then we got taken advantage of and slowly we just feel the need to not trust someone so much. I've had my share of heartbreaks and I sometimes blame myself for being too nice and naive. I always like to see the good in others no matter what other people tell me because I don't like judging someone whom I don't know. I have been bailed on so many times before by guys. They would just tell me to meet at blabla at about whatever time and when I reached there , I just get bailed. I would wait for about 2 hours and I will just leave. I know right, why wait so long? But I guess I just felt that maybe he was caught up in traffic somewhere. I called and left a few texts but no reply.
After being bailed for many many times, I guess you will eventually get used to it.It is not a nice feeling to be bailed without any legit reason. I mean even if you think that I am ugly in real life and not what or how you thought I would be, you are not a nice person and you definitely do not deserve to be my friend. And I don't really mind actually that you don't want to be my friend because I don't like shallow people. If you are judging me based on my looks then it is better off that I do not know you at all.
I am tired of hearing promises because promises that people made to me, most of them are just empty promises. Promises which don't hold a meaning but I guess to them it is not that important. I don't get it. Why do people grow up to be so vicious? Was there a problem with how they grew up? You don't just make promises with someone just because you want to feel good about it. Put yourself in the other party's shoes for once. Think about it. What if someone made you feel that way? If you can't promise someone something then don't even mention the thing. It is because of people like you that made trust an issue for others. You are just being selfish because all you ever cared about was your own feelings and not others. When you make promises with someone, you made the other party put in hope that something WILL happen when it actually don't.
I don't know what I did or if I have offended anyone but I just felt that I don't deserve that treatment. Wait, no one deserves to be treated that way because it is not nice. I do not wish for it to happen to anyone because the feeling is horrible. Can you imagine? Being bailed? Please don't waste other people's time and honestly, don't bother asking me why I am reluctant to meet people nowadays because of all these incidents.

Harrison's Manual of Medicine 20th edition provides 600+ internal medicine topics in a rapid-access format. Download Harrison's App to iPhone, iPad, and Android smartphone and tablet. Explore these free sample topics:
-- The first section of this topic is shown below --
Internists perform a wide range of medical procedures, although practices vary widely among institutions and by specialty. Internists, nurses, or other ancillary health care professionals perform venipuncture for blood testing, arterial puncture for blood gases, endotracheal intubation, and insert IV lines, nasogastric (NG) tubes, and urinary catheters. These procedures are not covered here, but require skill and practice to minimize pt discomfort and potential complications. Here, we review more invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures performed by internists—thoracentesis, lumbar puncture (LP), and paracentesis. Many additional procedures are performed by specialists, and require additional training and credentialing, including the following:
- Allergy: skin testing, rhinoscopy
- Cardiology: stress testing, echocardiograms, coronary catheterization, angioplasty, stent insertion, pacemakers, electrophysiology testing and ablation, implantable defibrillators, cardioversion, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)
- Endocrinology: thyroid biopsy, dynamic hormone testing, bone densitometry
- Gastroenterology: upper and lower endoscopy, esophageal manometry, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, stent insertion, endoscopic ultrasound, liver biopsy
- Hematology/oncology: bone marrow biopsy, stem cell transplant, lymph node biopsy, plasmapheresis
- Pulmonary: intubation and ventilator management, bronchoscopy
- Renal: kidney biopsy, dialysis
- Rheumatology: joint aspiration
Increasingly, ultrasound, CT, and MRI are being used to guide invasive procedures, and flexible fiberoptic instruments are extending the reach into the body. For most invasive medical procedures, including those reviewed below, informed consent should be obtained in writing before beginning the procedure.

Explore the community › Forums › Lectora Online › Lectora Online Questions & Answers › Using SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 with an LMS
Joe WielochModerator53 pts@wheels
This has been covered many times so it might repeat some other posts, but this does also specify how to implement displaying progress in an LMS when publishing to SCORM 2004 (this works for for 360 training's LMS, and potentially many others).
For SCORM 1.2 use the AICC_Lesson_Status variable which sets the cmi.core.lesson_status for the SCO (sharable content object, or in our case a title). Different LMSs may want special values for this, but typical ones are 'not attempted', 'incomplete', and 'completed'. The variations are usually only for the 'completed' value: 'Completed', 'complete', 'passed' are some variations.
For SCORM 2004 we support the 3rd Edition Spec. We do not use cmi.progress_measure instead we follow the specification which allows us to set the cmi.completion_status directly. This is done by using the CMI_Completion_Status variable.
This page is helpful for mapping Lectora variables to the SCORM spec:
The 2004 specification says that the LMS shall implement the cmi.completion_status data model element as a state consisting of the following vocabulary tokens:
• completed
• incomplete
• not attempted
• unknown
Also of note for SCORM 2004 is the Lectora AICC_Lesson_Status variable which maps to cmi.success_status.
The 2004 specification says the LMS shall implement the cmi.success_status data model element as a state consisting of the following vocabulary tokens:
• passed
• failed
• unknown
For SCORM 2004 the CMI_Core_Exit variable maps to cmi.exit and can be used to control learner sessions or attempts. You need to set this to normal to close an attempt, otherwise it will be passed back as suspend and the attempt will be continued when the user re-enters the course. Valid values are:
• normal
• suspend
• "" (empty string)
* The variable AICC_Score is what always maps to the SCORM score stored in the LMS. This can be set using a Modify Variable action, or by having a test which is "graded".
* If you publish to SCORM 2004 and have an LMS that shows course progress (via a progress bar) you can take advantage of that by doing a Run JavaScript action as the students progress, to set progress, try this:
LMSSetValue('cmi.progress_measure', VAR(ProgressVariable))
Where ProgressVariable is a Lectora User variable that is set with the progress, say a value from 1 to 100 ? Or you could just set the value directly by not using a variable and putting the progress value right into the call. For example when they are half way through:
LMSSetValue('cmi.progress_measure', 50)
You will have to set the cmi.completion_threshold which is the point at which it's deemed complete. Do this at the beginning of the course with another Run JavaScript action:
LMSSetValue('cmi.completion_threshold', '100')
From the specification:
If a cmi.completion_threshold is defined for the SCO and the cmi.progress_measure data model element's value is set by the SCO and the value is less than the cmi.completion_threshold data model element's value, then the LMS shall evaluate and return the value of incomplete.
As you can see we can really support any LMSs SCORM implementation. Even non-standard implementations are easy to adjust for. Please post questions here if you are reading this and still have questions!

Hi. I know this was posted a year ago but I was wondering if you would know whether or not a SCORM 2004 upload into SABA will render no 'completion' results in LMS reporting.

The famous Peachy Head suicide jump cliff towers some 300 meters above a jagged, rock strewn beach.
We climb down to the Cafe, cited in all good travel guides. The white building nearby is marked "Undertakers".
I decide to pay extra, to get a good seat.
Tim, my fellow traveler, smiles. "Nice choice," he says. "We can see everything from here."
A waiter, dressed from head to foot in blood red, strolls over to our table.
"Would you like a drink first, sirs?"
"We'll have the special rice wine," we say.
"What sort of flavors, sirs?"
Tim and I laugh. "Apricot," we reply, together.
The waiter returns with our drinks.
Tim orders duck rice, I order chicken rice.
"Do you want any dessert, sirs?"
No, we say, but we'll definitely have another drink.
"When's the Jumping supposed to start?" asks Tim, tucking into his duck.
It's nearly 1 PM. "About an hour," I reply.
By now, the Cafe is standing room only.
It's a pleasant day, the sun shines, waves lap rocks, and a light breeze wafts.
Tim removes a pack of Ritalin-Extra from his shirt pocket. There's no rice wine left in the carafe, so we swallow another.
At 1:45, an announcement is made, in five languages.
"At 2:00 PM precisely, the Peachy Head Beach will be closed. No
customers will be allowed to leave until 4:00 PM. If you do not wish to
remain, please leave the area now. Staff will assist anyone with
mobility or other health problems walking up the Chalk Steps."
No one leaves the Café.
As 2:00 PM arrives, all conversation ends. The Program says first
Jumper is a 32-year-old man. In anticipation, we remove our
photo-binoculars, like everyone else, look up.
"This freak does look doped," whispers Tim.
I focus on the Jumper's face. Tim's right. We snap shots. The State
Social Worker appears, a woman dressed in black. She approaches the
Jumper, to make the 'last appeal.' The man ignores her, jumps, and is
torn to pieces on the rocks.
"What's next?" asks Tim.
I check the program. "It's an old woman, at 2:15."
"I'm going to the bar, want one?"
I do. Tim returns, just in time. This Jumper looks 70. The State Social Worker re-appears, the freak jumps. Splat!
By 3:30, Tim's staring vacantly into space.
"The Undertakers come soon,' I say. "Could be interesting."
By 4:00 PM Jumping finishes. The Café doors open. A few spectators
have had enough. They amble towards the Steps, talking loudly. The
Undertakers emerge from the white building. They're dressed in white,
carry electric saws, large white plastic cartons.
"Do they separate them?" I ask Tim.
"Don't know" he replies, snapping more shots, "check the guidebook."
It says, "The Jumpers remains are collected together, cremated
together, and strewn together in the Suicides Garden at the local
Council cemetery".
The train rockets back to the Traveler's Getaway.
"Got some great shots," we say together, popping another Ritalin-Extra.
Bio: Mr. Govier may have been a sergeant in the Time Marines, and
will be in the first assault wave in the Great Battle of 5359. To him,
it was just last month--or he may have neglected to send a bio, forcing
to us to make something up. You must decide for yourself.
