First of all, I need to tell you that you're awesome! You make my job possible and will never really understand how much that means to me. This week I put out a call on social media looking for blog post ideas and you delivered. Big time. You've given me enough feedback to keep this blog in fresh posts for a long time, and best of all, I know the content will be relevant for you because you suggested it!
This week's topic is ladders: how to avoid them, banish them, and make them a thing of the past.
Laddering happens when working in the round; it's a gap between the last stitch of one needle and the first stitch of the next needle. Sometimes this gap, or ladder, is small and disappears when the piece is blocked and sometimes it's wider and quite obvious, even after blocking. The horizontal strands of yarn that are stretched between the two needles resemble the rungs of a ladder, hence the term 'ladder' or 'laddering'.
Here are some suggestions for avoiding ladders when you're knitting:
Ladders result from the stitches between 2 needles being stretched, so when switching needles, pull the working yarn on the first 2 stitches of the new needle more tightly than you normally would to pull those stitches closer together.
If you don't mind a line of twisted stitches (it can be a design element), you can work the first stitch of the next needle through the back loop. This seems to tighten the stitch and close the gap.
I find I have ladders when the first stitch of a needle is a purl stitch (my gauge differs between knit and purl stitches) so I try to arrange my stitches so that the first stitch isn't a purl stitch.
Use an extra DPN. If you're working on 4 DPNs (where the stitches are divided among 3 needles and you knit with the 4th needle) you can try working on 5 DPNs. This will minimize the stretching between needles.
You can shift your stitches every few rounds so it isn't always the same stitch at the start of a new needle (be sure to use a beginning of round marker so you don't lose track of the beginning of round when you shift stitches around).
Consider switching to a different method of working in the round. If you have a ladder problem with DPNs, try magic loop or knitting with 2 circular needles.
What tips and tricks do you have for avoiding ladders in your knitting? Tell us in the comments!
Happy Knitting!

On the 500th anniversary of Luther's rebellion, this spectacular global history traces the revolutionary faith that shaped the modern world.
Five hundred years ago Protestant Christianity began with one stubborn monk. Today, it includes a billion people across the globe. The upheaval Martin Luther triggered inspired one of the most creative and destructive movements in human history.
Protestants is the story of the men and women who made and remade this quarrelsome faith. Fired by life-changing encounters with their God, they set out for every corner of the world, demanded alarming new freedoms and experimented in new systems of government. Inspired by their newly accessible Bibles, they transformed their inner lives, a transformation that spilled over into social upheavals and political revolutions.
In the process, they have played decisive roles on both sides of the great ideological battles of modern times. Protestants have been both for and against liberalism, imperialism, slavery, Nazism, communism, apartheid and women's rights. Yet beneath it all is a shared passion for God, a vital belief in the principle of self-determination and a readiness to fight for their beliefs.
Protestantism's global story is still only just beginning. As this ever-changing faith puts down deep roots across contemporary China, Africa, and Latin America, Alec Ryrie's dazzling history explores how its restless energy made and is still making the modern world.

After playing at Sundance and Cannes' Quinzaine des Réalisateurs, Chloé Zhao's striking debut feature opens today at Film Forum. Shot in the Badlands of South Dakota's Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Zhao's subjects are real-life Lakota Native American teenagers: never before portrayed on film.

Research suggests that most start-ups fail within the first five years. In the UK, however, there's a real stigma attached to failure, so how is this affecting British start-ups?
While British business is booming – more than 608,000 new businesses were created in the UK in 2015 – there does appear to be an issue around failure. The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor identified the fear of failure as a significant barrier to enterprise in the UK with 43 per cent of the population affected, compared to just 30 per cent in the US.
This is reflected in the gap between entrepreneurial intentions in the UK and entrepreneurial activity. The RBS Enterprise Tracker has found that around a third of UK adults say that they would like to start their own business, but only around six per cent are doing so at any one time. If this fear of failure could be overcome and all of those people started their businesses, the UK could see 3.6 million new start-ups a year, rather than 600,000.
This fear of failure is nothing new, however. Back in 2012, research carried out by Barclays identified that among 1,000 small businesses the fear of failing was holding them back, with more than half admitting that they put off making important decisions in case they make the wrong call. Nearly as many admitted that their fear of failure had prevented, or could prevent, their business from growing.
Among the things that these businesses were concerned by were economic uncertainty, cash flow and late payments, increased competition, and legislation and regulation. And these kind of fears won't have disappeared in the last four years.
Read more: Why every entrepreneur needs to embrace the fear of failure
"The ability to make important decisions is vital to the growth of all businesses and the overall UK economy. At the time of making important business decisions, it's only natural to be scared of getting it wrong," Sue Hayes, MD of Barclays Business Banking said. "It can feel like you are taking a big risk – whether that is decisions about staff, products, finance or even your marketing strategy. Despite the tough external environment, there are many opportunities to be seized upon."
But, it's been suggested that to boost the UK economy, businesses must learn to embrace failure.
"Our track record of failure has never been a hindrance. It's helped us to build up an experience base," Randal Pinket, founder and CEO of American based BCT Partners, said. "The question is not whether you have failed and fallen down, but whether you're willing to get yourself back up."
Betfair's ex-chairman Ed Wray agreed, saying in 2013: "There's never been a better time to start a business, but the fear of failure is the single biggest thing I think that holds back the entrepreneurial culture in Britain. The fear of failure, and the criticism of failure. I'm not saying you celebrate failure, but I do think you celebrate people who learn from failure. Hopefully people don't repeat those mistakes if you can talk about them."

According to Unilever's global SVP of marketing, Marc Mathieu, one of the best ways to help start-ups overcome their fear is to work with them. Speaking at the Marketing Society's conference in 2014, he said that businesses needed to "embrace the risk of failure much more than we have in the past if you want to succeed in the future" and that working collaboratively enables large business to invest in new ideas without "the fear of failure".

"So Twiggy. We have a couple of things to show you today."
"Really Lucy? I can't wait."
"You have to get up and follow me."
"Where we going?"
"Oh nowhere. I thought I heard the sound of the UPS truck and wanted to check."
"What's the UPS truck?"
"Remember the FedEx lesson? It's a truck like that only brown. Okay not here. Let's go up on the porch."
"Wait, Lucy. I can't get up there."
"Sure you can. You have to do a little jump. Like this."
"Oh, I get it."
"Hey, Twiggy."
"Hi, Bailey. Lucy just showed me how to jump up on the porch."
"How nice. So now you can get up on the porch. Nice going, Lucy."
"Oh hush, Bailey. You are such a grump."
"Twiggy you have your own bowl over there."
"I know, but I want to drink out of the big dog's bowl."
"Well help yourself. Then we have to show you the Jolly ball."
"Twiggy. That orange thing is a Jolly ball."
"What do you do with it?"
"You take that handle. Pick it up and run with it."
"Ummm. This is hard."
"You're supposed to grab it by the handle."
"It's too heavy for me."
"Forget the ball you two."
"What's happening?"
"It's the UPS truck. Hurry."
"Let me at em."
"You go, Bailey. Twiggy. Bark your head off."
"Why do we bark?"
"Not sure. It's a custom. All dogs bark at the UPS person."
"That was fun. What do we do now."
"Well, Twiggy. We take a sunbath."
"Don't let Lucy kid you, Twiggy. We take a nap. After all, we worked pretty hard today."
"Good idea, Bailey. I'm beat."

This post was sponsored by Dean's Dairy. As always, all opinions are my own. Thanks to all the sponsors who make HerKentucky a reality!
Two causes that resonate with me are breast health and proper nutrition. My own mother is at very high risk for breast cancer, as she was diagnosed with fibrocystic breast disease in the early 1980s and has spend most of her adult life enduring high risk mammograms, lumpectomies, and biopsies. Like most women my age, I have watched several friends fight breast cancer. We need to work toward raising funds for the nonprofits that work toward research and patient advocacy, like the American Cancer Society.
Here in Louisville, Dean's Dairy products have been providing gallons of nutrition to our families for over 75 years! Now, Dean's Dairy is also providing gallons of hope in the fight against breast cancer. This October, as part of the American Cancer Society's 19th annual "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer," Dean's Dairy will kick-off an initiative to build awareness and generate resources for the fight against breast cancer in Kentucky and Southern Indiana.
Throughout the month of October, Dean's Dairy invites us all to make a difference! For each sale of specially-marked gallons of Dean's DairyPure white milk sold in the Louisville area, Dean's Dairy will donate five cents to the American Cancer Society!
"Breast cancer ranks second as a cause of cancer death in Kentucky women," says Kendall Anderson, senior director of corporate relations at the American Cancer Society (and my friend and sorority sister!) "The support of partners like Dean's Dairy is instrumental in winning our fight."
Products eligible for the five cent donation will feature the pink ribbon and the American Cancer Society logo. Consumers can find the specially-marked bottles of Dean's DairyPure white milk at most major retail outlets, including Dollar General and Meijer.
For more information about Dean's Dairy, visit DeanDairy.com and find Dean's Dairy on Facebook. To learn more about the American Cancer Society and the upcoming "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" events in Kentucky, please visit MakingStridesWalk.org.

This last week saw Thanksgiving arrive and depart, leaving the Holiday Hustle in its wake.
The holidays are upon us, friends. And whether you celebrate Christmas, observe Hanukkah, enjoy Kwanza, or you're too cool for Yule, the holidays always mean an avalanche of extra events to attend, cookies to bake, and gifts to purchase. School is out, which means you might need to be looking for somewhere for the kiddos to be while you head to work each day.
Consider this a friendly reminder of two kinds...
1. Add a few of our events/camps for the kiddos to your calendar before it gets overly filled with other things. It will give them something fun and educational to do, and give you peace of mind while you head to work each day over winter break from school.
2. It's ok to say no to things that don't fit with your family's schedule or priorities. Don't be guilted into taking on so much that you can't enjoy the holiday with your family.

Lighten Up
I am as fond as the next guy of Carol Burnett. When others were out living lives of teenage angst and ecstasy on Saturday nights, I was home watching Burnett and Harvey Korman and Tim Conway and Lyle Wagoner and Vicky Lawrence and Jim Nabors and guest hosts Julie Andrews andJim Nabors and, well, you get the idea.
That's why I was sad to see she had taken aim at the wickedly funny Family Guy for its mocking of her charwoman character, though I you ask me that character was itself borrowed from clown Emmett Kelly, so the lineage isn't as pure as all that already.
Any way, I know that Family Guy's mockery iss rude and shocking–its show attacking the fCC indecency crackdown is a classic–while Burnett's was just harmlessly goofy, like the Scarlett O'Hara or Gloria Swanson send-ups. But each were of their own eras, and for my mind Family Guy is a top-notch parody of these times, and Burnett's character is fair game.
The let the mocking continue.

Premium Superstar in Topshop x Originals
1 outfit, 2 shoes, 2 hats
Topshop recently joined heads with Adidas Original to create a sports luxury capsule collection that encompasses high-class upgrades to classic sportswear pieces - perfect for this season's trends. The collection features bold graphic number prints and the traditional Adidas Originals trefoil logo in a color palette of black, white, red, and silver.
On this post, I'm styling one outfit in two different ways simply by changing my hat and shoes! Easy, right? My essential outfit is a pair of black high waisted shorts with a marble printed tee and a leather slim-fit track jacket. For the casual look, I wore sneakers and a snapback that both had striped details. The sneakers make the outfit more athletic and of course, comfortable. For the more daring and dressed-up look, I went with platform heels. Honestly, a pair of shoes can make or break your outfit. These chunky black platform with cute socks made this look into a more feminine take on sportswear. I changed the snapback this time to match with the tee instead of the jacket! The key here is figuring out what event/occasion you're going to and what pieces of clothing you want to highlight! The rest is simple ~
Stampd x United Arrows Stripe Hat
Paint Rag Sport Cap from Stampd
Topshop x Originals Track Jacket

Global Suppression List
What is GSL?
The Global Suppression List (GSL) is a specific list of contacts in your Mailigen account, which contains emails that have used your unsubscribe form to 'unsubscribe from everything' and don't want to receive any further campaigns. It also contains any emails that you decide to add manually so they wouldn't receive any news from you.
Why do I need it?
GSL is an important addition to the whole process of reaching the right audience. Emails that are not interested in receiving messages from you are something you want to avoid as it can lead to spam complaints and damage your reputation as a sender. If a person unsubscribes from just one of your lists and isn't presented with an option to unsubscribe from all your lists (if there is more than one) there is a high chance your emails will be reported as an abuse/spam, which affects the deliverability of your campaigns.
Some examples when emails should be added in GSL manually:
- email user has made a complaint
- client suspects the email to be a spam trap
- email has been unsubscribed from another system (not Mailigen)
- email has been unsubscribed from several lists it has been a part of
When you will attempt to import emails that are in your GSL to any of your lists, you will get a message that will remind you of the emails that won't be included.
Activating GSL
When enabling GSL you will provide your subscribers with an additional option to unsubscribe from all your lists and further mailings. You will also be able to add emails that shouldn't receive campaigns from you, manually. To do so, follow these steps:
STEP 1 – Find the GSL page under Lists tab
You will be able to find and manage contacts in your GSL there as well as adding new ones to the list.
STEP 2 – Enable GSL. Click on "manage settings" and enable/disable the GSL.
STEP 3 - Add new emails to the list. There are 3 ways to do that:
- Add one-by-one
- Import a file
- Paste from excel
Changes in web forms
When GSL is activated, your unsubscribe form will have "Unsubscribe from everything" option added, which you will be able to customize.
Creating a new list
When creating a new list (for existing lists you can change it under list settings), you will be able to
- display chosen lists in other web signup forms
When you tick this box, you give permission to display this list in unsubscribe form (link in update profile form), for other lists as well. You can change that on the web forms page.
- Add a public description that will be displayed in signup forms
"Edit subscription" option will be added to update profile form, which will bring you to the unsubscribe form. You will be able to disable it.

About the Moore Heart Award
Everyone knows living with chronic illness, particularly one involving pain, can wear on you, your family, and just beat you down. It's an ugly reality that many out there are faced with. Those affected end up having two choices in life: Give Up; or Live In Spite of Your Illness and Chronic Pain to the Best of Your Ability.
Then, we have those special warriors out there who make a third choice for themselves. These warriors not only live life in spite of their illness and chronic pain, but somehow, they find the strength to always be there for others and to reach out a helping hand when others are in need. They offer advice, they give doctor recommendations, they laugh with you, they cry with you, and they pray for you despite the fact that they too are struggling on a daily basis.
In 2014 The Coalition Against Pediatric Pain decided to annually recognize a remarkable individual who encourages and inspires our kids while facing their own medical struggles. TCAPP unanimously voted to name the award after our first recipient, Amelia (Milly) Moore, as it is Amelia who inspired TCAPP to create this award.
This Year's Recipient
The first annual TCAPP "Moore Heart" award is being presented to Miss Amelia "Milly" Moore
Amelia Moore has turned her personal challenges into an ability to help others overcome their fears and misunderstandings about mitochondrial disorder Her knowledge and gentle demeanor have a profound effect on the individuals around her. Her passion and openness about her challenges is not only admirable but inspirational. She has accepted her illness as part of her life but does not allow it to define who she is. She has turned her struggles into the ability to help others overcome their fears and feelings of isolation. She emulates patience, optimism and hope. Amelia is a perfect example of when circumstances fail, but character succeeds, one becomes a model of hope for others. Amelia has taught us not to wait for the storm to pass but to dance in the rain. Amelia is an inspiration to all of us and the perfect dance partner!

Inspirational Quotes
"When circumstances fail but your character succeeds, you become a model of hope for others"
"Whether they know you as Milly POTS or Amelia Moore, you have been an outstanding asset to the online patient community. Your courage and commitment to helping others continues to inspire all us everyday."
Board of Directors from Dysautonomia International
"You have touched my life so far beyond what I can even find words to express. At quite possibly the scariest time of my life, about 3 years ago, you stepped in and became like a mentor to me and your example of love blew me away and does to this day. I'll never, ever forget it. I look up to you so much and your courage helps me and so many others find courage as well."
Sarah B.
"You may have spent years or only minutes with the person, but leave an imprint on each person's heart. You truly are an inspiration and encouragement to all. You make a difference in the lives of others each and every day!"
"For a project at school I had to write about a person who influenced my life, so I chose you! I could write a book titled "The Amazing Traits of Amelia Moore." I hold a piece of you in my heart and will forever."
"I respect you so much for choosing to wear a smile, when so many would be frowning. I respect you so much for reaching out to others, when most people would be focused solely on themselves. You are the good in the world, that we don't often get the opportunity to see."
"Don't shine so that others can see you. Shine so that through you, others can see Him."
C.S. Lewis

Evaluation - REACH Charter School
REACH Charter School served elementary school students, targeting those with special needs. One in five students had diagnosed learning disabilities and a third had at least one special need. Instead of grouping students by grades, higher performing students in a lower grade were in classes with lower performing students from a higher grade. This placed higher performing students in a more challenging environment while lower performing students were in classes where they could continue to learn.

So I'm feeling a bit discouraged as my weight has slightly risen. I know my eating habits aren't great, but at the same time, I've been riding on a consistent basis since mid-May. I'd at least expected to drop a bunch of weight by now.
I checked my blood pressure yesterday, and it is still through the roof. When I first started, I dropped maybe 7 lbs real quick, but now I've gained most of those back.
I guess this is all part of the cycle of losing weight. I don't want to lose too much too fast, otherwise that raises the likelihood of gaining it all back and some. But I would like to see progress. Those same hills are still a struggle to me (at least they feel like it), and lately I've been so exhausted upon getting home, that I mostly lay on the couch.
Since I was married, (since I got a car), I started putting on weight, averaging about 10 or 15 pounds per year. Meanwhile, my wife is the same weight she was in high school (really, I'm happy about that, heh heh).
The high blood pressure, and the weight gain has me doubting myself. I did get into bike commuting mostly to lose weight and get exercise. While my legs are certainly more muscular, the rest of my body seems even softer.
I guess I'll have to come to the conclusion that it is going to take a concerted effort of riding even more, and really changing my diet.
10 Responses to 'Discouragement.'
Do not get discouraged. If you aren't making progress, but know that you are putting forth a concerted effort in all areas (riding, rest, diet, etc.) then try and figure out what the problem is. Your description of little to no weight loss sounds like me. I'm also way overweight and have been riding since April with almost no weight change. My clothes, though, are fitting much, much better. Like Kendra said, I think you're seeing some muscle gain from the commuting. I have another question. Besides commuting on your bike, do you do any other riding? For example, on Saturdays are you trying to get in some longer rides to help burn more fat? I ride on the weekdays for about 13 miles (similar to a commute) but believe I fell into a rut performing the same ride/mileage/pace each day. I've since added longer Saturday rides in the hope that I can shake it up to get the scale moving. Just keep pressing on.
I've subscribed to your feed.
Stay out of the fitness dead zone of 'not too hard, not too easy' pedaling. Go out and have really tough days where you push way hard, and sprinkle in really easy spin out days to recover.
Ever do any intervals? Basically go really hard (red line!!) for a couple minutes, then recover a few minutes. Repeat a few times.
Keep on spinning.

The heart represents love.
The heart speaks love.
The sound of love is in a baby's laugh; so joyful!
The sound of joy refreshes the spirit.
In the spirit, NOW feels fine.
NOW feeling fine is contentment and inner peace.
My heart is telling me to reboot the feeling of love by heading over to FaceBook to hear that baby laugh for the joy of life in the moment. I can also just pull up that memory and get to the NOW feeling of contentment and inner peace.
What is your heart's message of love?

The end is near..
Here's a Two Towers study I did a while back... Definitely want to get around doing more of this kind of thing, there's a lot to learn here.
Graduation, my senior show, and all of that final stuff is just around the corner. I will be continuing to shut myself in and work as hard as I can until then. I have a lot to show after that point. If it ever comes.

Mid-Semester Dump!
I love dumps. All kinds. This kind, that kind, the cake kind... You've never had dump cake? Highly recommended, it is delicious (seriously, http://forrked.com/dump-cake).
Yeah, just a smattering of work I've done recently. The last two are WIP shots from my Game of Thrones thesis, which is coming along slow and steady; just wish I could dedicate more time to it. Thanks for viewing, cheers!

Do tauntauns drink space martinis? We may never know. But we do know that they occasionally leave Hoth, dress up in ridiculous robes, stand on their hind legs and hang out with Admiral Ackbar.

The Marmot King + process
This is my entry for Laguna College's Dressed 2 Kill contest. http://www.lagunacollege.edu/dressedtokill/index.php
The goal of the competition was basically to design a masked character. My inspiration came a few weeks ago when I came across this picture while proving to my girlfriend that a "marmot" is in fact a real animal and therefore a real word. If you just look at his snout as a standalone head, you will shit bricks.
This is my original sketch. Instead of copying from the photo, although a great mask in itself, I wanted to turn it into something a little more innocent and charming. You can see that I am using the marmot's nose as the "face" which I was really excited about.
This is my first iteration. It has some redeeming qualities but it just wasn't turning out how I'd have liked. It's all around too goofy, and I wasn't thrilled about the colors I was using.
If I would have stuck with that one it probably would have turned out alright in its own way, but instead I just decided to start from scratch. I have a hard time working on something if I'm not excited about it, and this sketch gave me much more of that feeling than the previous one. Since it is a mask after all, the character's real head is sitting behind the teeth.
Mysterious, noble, wild, dangerous, animal? man? This guy had the feel and character that I was looking for. I started in black and white because it's easier for me to understand the lighting, and it allows me to think solely about the color when I add it later.
And here's the final. I basically painted this all in one sitting, and it was rough, but I'm fairly certain that I submitted it in time (roughly 30 seconds before the deadline).
This is the story that accompanied it:
"The great Marmot of the West has not been seen for many years. Some
say that it returned to the earth to be with its ancient companions once
more. Others paint a much more disturbing picture... They say there is something
new that roams, neither animal nor man, but somewhere in between. His great head
is fashioned from the snout of the creature, with horns larger than any sheep or elk.
They advise to keep hearty company when traveling these woods... the new
Marmot King is much more viscious than his predecessor."
Thanks for reading. Fingers crossed for the contest!

Acrylic Ponderer
This is about my fourth traditional (acrylic) painting this semester. It takes a lot of patience when compared to digital, but man, I learned a ton. There are many, many lessons to be learned from mixing colors. Thanks for looking. Below are the pencils, and an inked version that I did for another project.

Im always optimistic on New Year's Eve. I like imagining the beginning of things. Tonight feels gently full of promise, even if it is 10 pm and I'm the only person left awake in the house, even as my chest and throat cringe with dessert-induced heartburn. Resolutions feel like an elaborate way to set up disappointment, so instead I'm thinking about what I want to be able to look back on 364 days from now and notice, hey, that did change this time around!
1. 2014 is the year I started making money with my writing.
I don't care how much, or when, but this is the year I take my craft from journal entries to submitted pieces. So much needs to change for this to actually happen. I need to get serious about my time again. I've been giving it away all month. No more. I need to learn to finish pieces. I need to submit them.
2. Move more. Use up those 9 free classes at swymfit. Take hikes and walks with the dog. Restart yoga, stretching, crunches, squats. Become someone who isn't winded quite so much.
3. Lose 20# and keep it off all year.
This will take exercise and lifestyle change. Vegas is a good motivator. Atkins would probably work short term but long term I can't keep it up. Shopping habits need to change, then exercise and cooking strategies. I wonder where my fitbit is or my fuel band.

From the Head of the Crowther Centre – Dr Ray Swann
Developing and improving practice
As part of the 'BGS Way', we try to instil in the boys the principle of continuous improvement. In James Kerr's book Legacy, he identifies how even the very best teams 'change their game, when they're at the top of their game'. This can be daunting, though – what if what we are doing works well? Why change? Where does one find renewal if one is always on the move?
Well, it's really about having a growth mindset.
So, it was very pleasing that over the holiday period we hosted an international coaching institute at the new Annandale facility. Led by world-renowned coaching expert Dr Jim Knight (from the Instructional Coaching Group and the University of Kansas, USA), more than 60 people attended to learn about instructional coaching and how it improves teacher quality. Even more pleasing was that 30 Brighton Grammar staff gave up a week of their break to participate!
As a result (and as some of you may have seen or heard), we had interest from the ABC, The Age and 3AW – all fascinated by the idea of using video to help teachers get a clear picture of how they teach.
We know that having teachers engaged as learners models to the boys that learning is continuous. In our Effective Learner model, we demonstrate that learning requires effort, time and motivation. How powerful it is, then, to have teachers modelling this process through coaching to the boys in their classes!
Motorbike Project
The boys from Years 8 to 12 have been hard at work with the Motorbike Project. The bike has now been stripped, and we've identified the parts needed and are starting the rebuild!
In completing the works, the boys have been lucky enough to work with Andrew Smith from the Department of Engineering from Monash University, who has been guiding them through the process.
We are fortunate in the Urwin Centre to host the boy's iDesign works. Each day we are seeing more fantastic creations being set up near Reception. Make sure you take a moment (if you can at pick-up or drop-off) to swing by and look at the incredible designs.

Article - One Kingdom under God (part 1)
In the Old Testament there are several points mentioned in reference to God and the nations and kingdoms of the earth, namely: (1) May all the kingdoms of the earth know that Jehovah alone is God (2 Kings 19:19; Isaiah 37:20; 43:10-11; 44:6-8); (2) Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah (Psalm 33:12); (3) God rules over and has authority over all the kingdoms and nations (2 Chronicles 20:6; Psalm 22:28; 47:8; 103:19; 113:4; Daniel 4:17, 25, 32; 5:21), hence, God is able to give secular rulers power over all kingdoms of the earth (Ezra 1:2; Daniel 2:37; Habakkuk 1:5-11; Romans 13:1-5); (4) God will pour out His wrath on those kingdoms who do not know and call on Him (Psalm 79:6; Isaiah 23:11; Jeremiah 1:9-10). The Old Testament also prophesies of God's coming spiritual kingdom (1) Whose King will come through the seed/throne of David (2 Samuel 7:12-17; Luke 1:31-33; John 7:42); (2) Whose kingdom will be set up by God during the days of the kings of Rome as indestructible and forever-standing (Daniel 2:37-49; 7:15-27); (3) And be ruled by God's Anointed Son (Psalm 45:6-7; Hebrews 1:8-9). Shortly after Jesus was resurrected from the dead, He ascended into heaven (Psalm 16:8-11; Acts 2:25-33). He now sits at the right hand of God on the throne of David, as He reigns over His spiritual kingdom and rules it with all authority (Isaiah 9:6-7; Matthew 28:18-20; 1 Corinthians 15:20-28; Revelation 12:5). In the New Testament, God's spiritual kingdom is fully revealed. Part of the gospel message includes preaching about Jesus' kingdom (Matthew 3:1-2; 4:23; 10:5-7; 24:14; Luke 9:60; 10:1, 9; 16:16; Acts 1:3; 8:12; 19:8; 20:25; 28:17-31). The kingdom of God involves the reign and dominion of God (Matthew 6:33; 12:28; 13:38; 16:19). God reigns today through His Son's dominion (Acts 20:27-28). The church of Christ is where all the saved reside (Matthew 16:18-19; Acts 2:38, 41, 47; 20:28; Ephesians 5:23; Colossians 1:13). In order to enter into the kingdom, you must (1) humbly hear, receive the gospel message and be converted, doing the will of the Father from your heart (Matthew 7:21; 13:19; Romans 6:17); (2) be born of water and Spirit through immersion so that you can be saved through the blood of Jesus and be added to His one true kingdom, the church of Christ (John 3:1-5; Acts 2:38, 41, 47; 22:16; 1 Peter 3:21; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Ephesians 1:22-23; 4:4; Colossians 1:13).

Dr. MARILYN PRICE-MITCHELL: PSYCHOLOGIST, FOUNDER, ROOTS OF ACTION, RESEARCHER, AUTHOR, & SPEAKER/
My NativeAdVantage:
Marilyn Price-Mitchell, PhD, is founder of Roots of Action, a website devoted to helping parents, teachers, and mentors foster the health and well-being of today's youth. She is the author of Tomorrow's Change Makers: Reclaiming the Power of Citizenship for a New Generation and a Fellow at the Fielding Institute for Social Innovation. A developmental psychologist and researcher, Price-Mitchell's framework of positive youth development, called The Compass Advantage, is being used by parents and schools worldwide as a way of understanding and influencing success beyond grades and test scores. In addition to her articles at Roots of Action, she is a contributing writer at Psychology Today and Edutopia. With an audience of over 5 million each year, Price-Mitchell is on a mission to improve the lives of children and teens.
What do I do best?
I have a keen eye for seeing patterns and themes in complex research. . . then interpreting, communicating, and applying that research in the real world. I pride myself in being a good listener and compassionate advocate for others.
What makes me the best version of myself?
I never give up. I challenge myself every day. I am dedicated to learning, growing, and developing positive relationships in an ever-changing world around me.
I believe I'm part of something greater than myself. This belief has always compelled me to collaborate with others on issues related to social justice, education, poverty, and other issues facing our society.
What are my aspirations?
My personal aspiration is to live a balanced and healthy life, filled with caring relationships, meaningful work, and connection to nature and beauty. That means being intentional about my friendships, caring for myself and others, setting realistic professional goals, and being open to the full human experiences of sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.
I'm passionate about empowering adults to help kids achieve life success. I hope to see my Compass Advantage framework of positive youth development being used as a guide by many more parents, schools, and after-school programs in the years ahead. One way I plan to help adults apply this model is to offer online courses that merge theory with practice.
My Biggest Success?
I'm tempted to say that my biggest success is being a mother. But I'd prefer to envision that success as belonging to my children. Instead, I believe my greatest accomplishment is having discovered a purpose that gives meaning to my life.
My Most Challenging Moment?
One of my life's most challenging moments was when I graduated from high school and, against the wishes of my conservative parents, made the decision to attend college. I declared myself an emancipated student, didn't speak to my parents for several years, and worked my way through my undergraduate degree with a fulltime job. This decision had a significant impact on my life, teaching me that I could reach for my goals despite personal circumstances. I became the first in my family to graduate from college. In the process, I also became a life-long learner.
My Motto?
For many years, I have valued the guidance of Pema Chodron: "Let the hard things in life break you. Let them effect you. Let them change you. Let these hard moments inform you. Let this pain be your teacher. The experiences of your life are trying to tell you something about yourself. Don't cop out on that. Don't run away and hide under your covers. Lean into it."
My Favorite People/Role Models?
My favorite people are my closest friends and family members – they know who they are! I hang out with them as much as possible because life is too short to do otherwise.
I've been fortunate to have personal and professional role models who have greatly influenced my life. First, Judy Czarnecki Stark was a high school teacher who took a special interest in my positive development. She believed in my abilities and helped me believe in myself at a formative age. Next, Dr. Len Goodstein was a professional mentor for 35 years. Former head of the American Psychological Association, Len fostered my interest in human and organization development and encouraged me to follow my career goals. Both mentors became lifelong friends. Both died last year. The gifts they instilled will forever be part of who I am.
My Favorite Places/Destinations?
So many to list! Here's a few: Thailand, Budapest, Greece, Tuscany, and the English Lake District.
My Favorite Products/Objects?
Well, I'm geek, so I like tech products that help me do my work. Those include a fabulous HP ENVY Curved All-in-One 34" computer, a Kinesis Advantage Pro Ergonomic Keyboard, and a standing desk with a treadmill underneath! And, of course, I couldn't survive without my iPhone, iPad Pro, and Microsoft Surface Pro, particularly when I'm traveling and speaking.
My Current Passions?
Writing. Travel. Volunteer work. Art. Music. My King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, Bella.

This program focused on the effective use of pre-sentence reports, sentencing, social context, the nature of programming and treatment available in provincial and federal correctional institutions, and the parole system.
The objective of this seminar was to provide judges with an opportunity to explore sentencing choices and their impacts from both a legal and practical perspective. Judges examined three core issues: considerations in sentencing to custody; how to ensure that custodial sentences are as effective as possible; and what actually happens to offenders after they are incarcerated.
This program provided skills-based learning on sentencing and correctional issues through a combination of lectures, plenary discussions, and a review of programming offered within correctional facilities. Led by judges, legal academics, practising lawyers, and experts from within and outside the correctional system, this seminar covered the following topics: proportionality in sentencing; considerations on imposing a sentence in the federal penitentiary
or provincial reformatory; effective sentencing of offenders with mental health issues; reintegration issues; mental health treatment in federal correctional institutions; and sentencing indigenous offenders under the Gladue principles.

- Programme Notes
- The inspiration for this piece came mainly from two sources: the first connected with landscapes, and the second literary. As the piece progressed, however, these became increasingly intertwined. Cayuga is the name of the region surrounding the small university town of Ithaca, NY, an area dominated by hills and forestland. I wanted to evoke a sense of the vast, expansive landscapes that can be seen from high up on the Cornell campus, and in this respect the slow, drawn-out evolution of line became an important musical consideration for me. These landscapes are equally spectacular at night, the neon lights of Ithaca gently merging with a myriad of stars above - again, against a dark backdrop of seemingly endless hills on the horizon. In this respect the musical representation of light (and darkness) became another preoccupation. The second source is taken from a poem by René Char: "Billions of years flowing in the influx from everywhere, and circular, the song of Orpheus, never at an end. The gods are in metaphor. Snatched up in the sudden swerve, poetry gains a beyond without guardian."[trans S. M.A.Caws]. The circular, 'unending' quality of this passage particularly struck me, together with the unfathomable image of "billions of years". Indeed, the piece is frequently shaped by circular gestures, on both a large and small scale. I also became interested with the idea of two or more different musical ideas evolving simultaneously, and how these might develop (or even arise) 'invisibly' as it were, when not actually present in the texture. One such example of this is a tom-tom line, which is 'given birth' through the collision of various instrumental strands shortly before the centre of the piece, only to gain increasingly in intensity, finally punctuating a violent crossfire between the woodwind and brass towards the end of the work. Cayuga is humbly dedicated to Colin Matthews, who not only nominated me to write this piece (as part of the Faber Millennium Series), but who has shown me great kindness and support so often in the past. I feel both honoured and flattered that he has put his faith in me. Joseph Phibbs

Yesterday we reported that Bungie Studios and Gathering of Developers had released a demo of their hotly anticipated Oni, sans mac version. Today we learned from Matt Soell of Bungie that they had held the Mac version back in order to fix a minor Open GL bug. He had this to say:
We have a small problem with OpenGL that needs fixing before the Mac demo can go out. I can't guess at when it will be ready, but the wait shouldn't be long.

October 31, 1843: At the Central Criminal Court, Andrew M'Donough is acquitted of the rape of Margaret Somerville. She was an underage girl (though not underage at that time) who had been employed by him as a nanny/servant. She made a stock charge, namely that he had thrown her to the ground and had his way with her, muffling her cries with one hand while presumably unbuttoning his trousers with the other. Although she delayed reporting, she was examined by a doctor, and her motive or partial motive appears that she had been having sex with a person or persons of ill-repute, contracting some sort of infection, for which she attempted to blame her one-time employer.
There were other people present in the house too when the alleged rape occurred, and it seems inconceivable that had she been telling the truth, someone would not have been alerted.
This report appeared in the London Times, November 1, 1843, page 6.

I started learning web development back in 2010. There's no all-encompassing blueprint for learning web development. No matter how much you learn when starting off, you still feel overwhelmed at the wealth of information out there. There's always more to learn, and you're unsure where to start. Here are a few things I've learned along the way.
Gain A Foundation
Learn the basics of the languages you will be working in. A strong understanding in the industry's terminology will be crucial when learning. Imagine buying a shiny new IKEA shelf but you open the box to find the instructions are in Swedish. After assembling 95% of the shelf without the instructions it's not quite working. You skipped over Step 3, installing the screw. You know what a screw is but it's Swedish translation was foreign to you. Missing one little detail can result in a broken product. Great softwares used in web development have great documentation. Utilizing software to its full capability requires strong comprehension of the documentation.
There's a lot of different technologies under the umbrella of web development. Try to understand how they work with each other. Knowing how to build websites makes you an amateur. Understanding their intricacies and how they work, makes you an expert.
In an older post, I overview some great resources that can give you a strong foundation.
Get Your Feet Dirty
Learn by doing. I'm sure we've all heard that term a million times. Before getting hired to build websites, I spent months learning the basics. I read countless instructional books and magazines. Was I confident when I was finally summoned to the task? Hell, no. Today, I'm sure most of us would run and hide at a glimpse back at our first projects. None of us start off as Picasso's. But, we learn and we get better. Don't get discouraged by the quality of old work. We're in an industry where we're always improving. We're fortunate to be able to see the evolution of our skills as creators and artists.
Google Is Your Best Friend
There's many times during a project where you're going to face a problem or obstacle to overcome. Not sure why the slider is asking up, or why certain pages aren't loading? Well then, Google it. Chances are you're not the first person to have an issue. Search for keywords that describe your dilemma. Be specific enough with keywords such as what browser or what software you're using. If you're not finding anything then you're using too many keywords. If what you're finding isn't relevant, than you're using too few.
Websites like Sharepoint often have discussions about specific problems and how to fix them. There's a good chance Sharepoint will come up in your search results. Often times I check their articles first, because I trust the quality of their content.
It can be difficult phrasing your exact problem to Google. Which is why gaining a foundation is so important.
Publish Your Ideas On A Blog
I was hesitant to blog for a while. That is, until I realized the two no-brainer benefits of blogging:
Strengthen your understanding on a topic
Write a blog where you articulate an idea or solve a problem. It forces you to gain a much stronger understanding of that concept.
Develop invaluable internal resources
Writing 'tutorial' posts is like creating a specific guide for yourself. Sometimes it's hard to follow along with tutorials or guides written by others. It's not only about helping others, it's about helping yourself save countless hours in the future.
Not sure what's worth blogging about? Sal Ferrarello had a great quote in his presentation on blogging at WordCamp US 2016. "If you have a problem you're spending more than 15 minutes on, it would make a great blog post."
Check Your Ego
Nobody likes a know-it-all. Web development is too vast of a field for someone to actually, "know it all". We need to harbor the idea that there's always more to learn. The tools we use are going to update and improve. We need to be right there with them when they do. Change is difficult. It's difficult for us to give up on our old ways, especially when we come accustomed to them. But, we need to embrace new technology, and keep bettering ourselves as developers. Try learning a new big thing at least once a year.
Start. Learn the basics, including the terminology and different languages. Work. Take on projects that you've never done before. It will force you to learn new things. Google. When you're faced with a difficult problem, look towards online communities and discussions. Blog. Writing about ideas and problems you've solved makes you a better developer. Learn. Recognize that there is always more to learn, and we should always strive to be better.

COMPARISON: 2018 Honda Pilot vs. 2018 Audi Q3
2018 Honda Pilot vs. 2018 Audi Q3 – Honda Pilot has become one of the most favored SUV cars by the automotive market in America, Canada and Europe. But of course the Pilot is not the only SUV that the best-selling. Many cars that have great ability, luxurious appearance, high performance engine. One of the cars that became the 2018 Pilot rival is 2018 Audi Q3. This car does have body size is not as big as Pilot, but the ability, price and features provided by Audi make Q3 one of the best SUV car. The best SUV car is not only owned by Audi or Honda, even there are still many rivals such as Toyota, Nissan, Ford, Mitsubishi, Volvo and a lot. We will give you all the fair comparisons so you can decide which one is the best. Make sure you always visit our website to get all information about automotive.
The price that will determine a customer will buy a car. Because the affordable price can make customers interested to buy. All prices certainly have differences, this is because all the features offered, engine performance and good design. 2018 Honda Pilot provides the cheapest price for Pilot LX starting price of $ 40,090 while Pilot Touring with the most expensive price starts at $ 51,490, a price worthy of a luxurious and comfortable SUV. While the 2018 Audi Q3 offers starting price of $ 47,340 and this is a price that is almost the same as the Honda Pilot. The price differences that occur certainly have a reason. If you look at price comparison, Audi Q3 slightly cheaper when compared with Pilot Touring.
Dimension 2018 The pilot is big enough. This car has a large space inside the cabin so that the dimensions given are very large. This car has a larger body when compared with the Audi Q3. Of course this is a boon for Pilots, because the vast space can provide more comfort, and you can bring more goods into the cargo. The Audi Q3 has slightly smaller dimensions but the design is very elegant, overall, the Pilot's dimension is larger than the Audi Q3.
If we talk engine, of course we will talk power generated by engine. 2018 Pilots can generate power up to 280 horsepower @ 6000 rpm and Torque 262 lb.-ft using 3.5-liter engine, 24-valve, Direct Injection, SOHC, i-VTEC, V6. While the 2018 Audi Q3 uses I-4 DOHC, 16-valve, Direct Injection, Turbocharged capable of producing up to 200 horsepower @ 6000 rpm and Torque produce of 207 lb.-ft and this is a powerful engine, even CR-V was losing big power generated. Many customers say that the Pilot is too strong compared to Q3, but the power ratio of 80 horsepower is not a bad thing, because the Audi Q3 has considerable power in its class.
Audi Q3 and Honda Pilot has a high price, of course the exterior offered must be luxurious and equipped with many supporting features. The attractive exterior will make the fans more fond of a car. With the theme of the SUV, of course, the exterior created gives a large and powerful form. 2018 Pilot offers a sporty design, with LED daytime running lights, LED taillights and fog lights. The exterior of the car is also equipped with Front and rear splash guards as well as Front wiper de-icer, while the Pilot Wheel provides 18 "aluminum-alloy wheels and also 20" aluminum-alloy wheels. Even 2018 Pilots provide Auto high beam.
While the 2018 Audi Q3 offers an elegant design, with a large grille in front, given LED tail lights with dynamic indicators, LED daytime running lights, LED headlights so that a luxurious appearance and sporty still visible. Not only that, because this car uses S line bumpers and also Exterior S line logo so as to give the impression that this car is Audi, and this is a real characteristic of Audi. If the Pilot does not provide 19 ", then Audi uses 19" 5-Double-Spoke Offroad design wheels. A sporty and elegant appearance remains Audi's top priority.

Whirlpool Shares Dropped: What You Need to Know
Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of whitewares veteran Whirlpool (NYS: WHR) look neither clean nor white today, dripping as much as 15.6% of red market ink on very heavy volume.
So what: In last night's third-quarter report, Whirlpool missed analyst targets, guided to further weakness amid slow consumer demand, announced big job cuts, and decided to close a factory in Arkansas. Even the strong foreign sales that have rescued Whirlpool from domestic troubles in the past are sliding down the drain.
Now what: "We're not particularly interested in selling appliances at a loss," said CEO Jeff Fettig to explain the cuts. No kidding. If disinterested consumers weren't enough, Whirlpool is also facing new competition from Korean conglomerates Samsung and LG in the aisles of your local Best Buy (NYS: BBY) , Sears (NAS: SHLD) , and Home Depot (NYS: HD) . The Korean companies are only too happy to slash prices to gain a foothold in America. Let's just say that Mr. Fettig isn't planning a vacation with friends in Seoul anytime soon.

OXNARD, California -- Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Marcus Martin needs surgery on his right big toe to repair a ligament tear suffered in the preseason opener against the San Francisco 49ers, sources told ESPN.
Martin, who signed a one-year deal with the Cowboys as a free agent in March, was competing for one of the backup interior offensive line spots. He missed a couple of days of practice to work on his conditioning, but the Cowboys believed he could play a role behind Travis Frederick, Zack Martin and Connor Williams.
The injury leaves the Cowboys with veteran Joe Looney, who has held the backup spot the past two seasons.
In 2016, La'el Collins, then playing left guard before his 2017 move to right tackle, suffered a similar injury and spent the final 13 regular-season games on injured reserve, although he was close to being able to return for the playoffs.
In other news for the Cowboys, weakside linebacker Sean Lee will take part in his first full practice of training camp. The Cowboys have worked Lee slowly into practice after he missed five games last season with two separate hamstring strains.
Lee has gone through walk-throughs and some individual drills. He said after the 49ers game that he hopes to play next week against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Written on: July 23rd, 2011 in Agriculture Guest Posts
I'm looking forward to this year's Delaware State Fair! Here's a guest post by Delaware Secretary of Agriculture Ed Kee.
July in Delaware means it is State Fair time.
The Fair means a lot of different things to different people, but there is no doubt that celebrating our agriculture is the major theme. After all, Delaware agriculture is based on 2,500 farmers and generates $1.2 billion in sales every year, which expands to $8 billion worth of economic activity in the state.
Our state ranks 9th nationwide in the percentage of land area devoted to cropland. Thirty-five percent of Delaware's land mass is devoted to cropland, 42% of our land is in farms. When cropland (35%) is combined with forestlands (31%), 65% of Delaware is open space.
The livestock competitions, the 4-H and FFA youth exhibits and contests, the produce and crop-judging contests and the incredible display of farm equipment illustrate that Delaware agriculture is alive and well.
In the Department of Agriculture's Commodity and Education Buildings, virtually all of Delaware's agricultural commodities will be on display. The building will be full of farmers and producers to explain, demonstrate, and promote the farm products they depend upon to make a living.
All of this activity reflects the diversity of our agriculture. We also have a great new display that illustrates Delaware Agriculture's 300-year history and celebrates its critically important role for our state.
The Fair, to me, and I am sure to hundreds of others, is about people and the memories of being with those great people over the years.
I've kissed a pig, cleaned the stalls and laughed so hard my ribs hurt. Most of my best fair memories revolve around my great friend and former colleague Dave Woodward and all the other University of Delaware Extension workers and Department of Ag riculture staff who have been dedicated to the fair and what it stands for. Of course, we were all there for the farmers and the youth, which is a great and continuing reason to be at the Fair.
I also must reveal my favorite Fair foods: The Grange chicken platters; the Farm Bureau cheeseburgers and milkshakes, and a long-gone lemonade stand sponsored by the Red Clay Lions Club. Just thinking of those treats, brings back a flood of memories of fun and fellowship with a wide array of friends at the fair.
