This past summer, me and my team from Staple spent a few sessions with the students from Harlem Children's Zone. The idea was for Reed Space to host its first ever t-shirt design contest featuring students from the HCZ! I spent a few hours each day talking to them about every aspect of the business…from concept to design to printing to sales and even pitching.
After we worked on the design process with them, the students then had to present their final designs not only to me, but to my esteemed buddies; DJ CLARK KENT, TALIB KWELI and MISS INFO. We were able to give our two cents and they were able to make final tweaks. Now the judging goes to YOU.
For two weeks, you, the public viewers, can vote on your favorite student design RIGHT HERE. The design with the most votes will then be produced and available for purchase in-store and online at Reed Space. The winning student will receive profits from the sale of the tee as the grand prize. From Harlemworld to Yourworld. Dope.

DUMA (Detect Unintended Memory Access) stops your program on the exact instruction that overruns (or underruns) a malloc() memory buffer. GDB will then display the source-code line that causes the bug. It works by using the virtual-memory hardware to create a red-zone at the border of each buffer: touch that, and your program stops. It can catch formerly impossible-to-catch overrun bugs. DUMA is a fork of Bruce Perens' Electric Fence library.
GetData is a library that provides an API to interface with dirfile databases. The dirfile database format is designed to provide a fast, scalable format for storing and reading binary, synchronously-sampled, time-ordered data. GetData was originally written for the BOOMERanG and BLAST experiments as a data format suitable for use for both quick-look and data reduction. It is now used by many other cosmological and astrophysical experiments including ACT, Planck, Spider, Keck, as well as other projects.
Herrie is a command line music player. It has a split-screen file manager and playlist interface and supports a number of file formats (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, wave, FLAC, etc). It also has some nice features, including a chroot() function for untrusted setups (remote logins, parties, etc). AudioScrobbler is also implemented using Curl.
cw is a non-intrusive real-time ANSI color wrapper for common Unix-based commands. It is designed to simulate the environment of the commands being executed, so that if a person types 'du', 'df', 'ping', etc. in their shell it will automatically color the output in real-time according to a definition file containing the color format desired. It has support for wildcard match coloring, tokenized coloring, headers/footers, case scenario coloring, command-line- dependent definition coloring, and includes over 50 pre- made definition files.
geo-* is a set of tools for geocaching, including tools for accessing the www.geocaching.com, opencaching.com, opencaching.us, and navicache.com websites, tools for geocoding addresses and creating maps, and tools for manipulating Mapopolis place guide data. The focus of these tools is to provide a command line driven environment.
ns4 is a command line configuration management tool that runs on a Unix or Windows based operating system. It allows the automated backup of node (i.e. routers and switches) configurations to an FTP/SFTP server or local media on a daily basis to create configuration archives. It can run ad-hoc commands on multiple nodes as well as custom scripts for automating complex tasks. It uses Perl and allows you to manipulate the output of commands using regular expressions within scripts. Configuration based cartridges are used to specify new node types, allowing the user to extend its functionality in a simple and dynamic way.

A fried has posed the following dilemma. I don't know the answer but thought that AccountingWeb readers may be able to help.
Both my children are taught at home as they are autistic. We are given funding by our local London borough and pay teachers/therapists to educate the children. The money is paid quarterly: I submit a signed statement from each of the therapists as to how much they received and I'm reimbursed for the lump sum up to an agreed amount (unfortunately insufficient – but that's another story!). All the therapists are self-employed and fulfil that criteria as far as I'm aware (in that they don't get paid holiday or sick leave; work for other families besides our own; hours per week vary from therapist to therapist and week to week but ranges from 9 hours to 16 hours; they provide their own work equipment; they have to pay for their own training). Although I'm not responsible for the therapists tax returns, none have had any problems about being accepted as self-employed by the IR.
We have just been informed that the way we receive our payments is going to be changed: the money will still come from the borough but in the form of a 'personal budget'. We have been told that under this new payment scheme all therapists employed by ourselves must be employees, and therefore subject to PAYE. The My contact at the London borough say they have discussed the matter with HMRC and that was their conclusion: no argument! Everything else remains the same, we still have to find the therapists, negotiate pay etc.
Leaving aside the additional cost of this, I'm concerned from the therapist viewpoint that if their work for us is constituted as PAYE, then the IR can argue that if they work for anyone else on the same basis, that should also be PAYE.
My question is: do you think it's worth trying to argue that because the circumstances of their work hasn't altered one iota, they should still be entitled to remain self-employed (in other words where the money comes from is irrelevant – what is relevant is the terms of their service)? Or does the London Boriugh have us over a barrel as ultimately they are paying the money to us: and if they decide that anybody who works for us with their money is PAYE, then so be it?
Please login or register to join the discussion.
Joined up Government
Personal Budgets aren't something simply being imposed by the London Borough in question, it's a national initiative aimed at giving people choice over how they spend what's due to them in respect of their care needs.
The unhappy side effects are that (i) it costs more, because the LA can recover the VAT, but the individuals can't (it can happen they'll get services from the LA who might then even need to charge the VAT that they can't recover) and (ii) it does make some people unwitting employers.
General principles apply though. It's not up to the London Borough to decide whether or not the therapists will have an employment arrangement with their clients, and frankly they're overstating the position.
It's a question of fact, whether there is an employment arrangement and on the facts presented, I'd say that the therapists are now, will in future, and always have been self-employed (engaged under a contract for services) with respect to their relationship with your friend (which is the only relationship to be considered).
They do though have a risk that HMRC can turn up with their hobnail boots on and claim the relationship is employment (which is where I suspect the London Borough is coming from - arse[***] cover). I'd say that was a minimal risk on these facts.
The sorts of situation where people have been caught are where they have live in carers and the like.
You can always get Matt Boddington et al to set them up with a contract that will put it beyond doubt though.
EDIT: Lot's of information on the LITRG website, by the way.
Local authority
Local authorities have a lemming like tendancy to follow wherever HMRC leads them. The idea of challenge rarely enters their minds.

Today, my friend, fellow writer, and co-founder of Circles of Faith, Kimberly Amici joins us to talk about Speaking Life through speaking blessings over our loved ones. She's currently writing a wonderful 31 day series on teaching kids how to pray. If you have or love little ones, I encourage you to check out her blog, Living in the Sweet Spot.
"But when a person speaks what God has revealed, he speaks to people to help them grow, to encourage them, and to comfort them."
~I Corinthians 14:3 (GW)
The Bible says that our tongue carries both life and death (Proverbs 18:21). Our words carry power. They have the ability to hurt, discourage, and even knock the wind out of us. But they also have the capacity to carry healing, encouragement, and restoration.
Traditionally throughout the Bible, the patriarch of a family would bestow material possessions and a blessing to his eldest son in the last days of his life. The blessing usually consisted of words of success and abundance spoken prophetically over the father's heir. In Genesis 27 we read the story of how Jacob tricked his father into giving him that blessing instead of his older brother Esau.
When Esau found out about his brother's deception his heart was broken, not over losing his father's wealth, but in missing out on the words he had waited years for his father to speak over him.
The tradition continues today in Jewish families as children are blessed on Shabbat as a way to reinforce that they are loved, accepted, and supported by their families.
We can speak blessing into the lives of others, both in the words we speak, when we are in their presence, and in the prayers we pray for them in private.
When I pray for my husband, children, loved ones, I find scriptures that supports what I desire to see. For example, just this morning, I prayed that my children would make wise choices and follow God's guidance.
"Dear Lord, I thank you that Ava, Eliana, and Aaron trust you with all their heart and do not lean on their own understanding, but acknowledge you in all their ways so that they will hear Your clear direction in the choices they make. " (Proverbs 3:5)
By doing this, I pray the Word of God into their lives and into their future. I don't just pray this once. I continually speak it into their lives, through prayer, even on the days when they clearly haven't used good judgment. Sometimes the kids and I will even pray it together.
As we pray, we can sow seeds of life into the lives of others that God will cause to bloom.
How are you using your words?
Dear Lord, it is my heart's desire to be like the woman in Proverbs 31 who opens her mouth in wisdom and has the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. May the words I speak bring life and healing. I pray that You would help me to consistently speak words of encouragement and blessing to others, especially to ________ …

Abstract 116: Should We Target Caregivers for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Training?
Jump to
Background: Majority of cardiac arrests occur at home. Yet, bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is more often performed by strangers. Public CPR training, while increasing the number of people trained, may not be targeting those most likely to witness cardiac arrests. We aimed to assess the potential of targeted CPR training.
Methods: We surveyed participants of a public CPR training program offered by the Singapore Heart Foundation from September 2009 to December 2011, as well as caregivers of hospitalized patients in a tertiary hospital from April to June 2012. Information on demographics, attitudes towards CPR training and performance were collected.
Results: Of the 656 respondents (mean age 41.5±13 years, 50.8% males), caregivers, compared to members of the public, were less willing to perform CPR on family members (69.8% versus 88.4%, p<0.001)(Figure). In addition, they were less willing for CPR training/retraining (53.2% versus 70.3%, p<0.001). These differences persisted after adjustment for demographics and prior CPR training. Amongst public and caregivers who were trained, only 31.8% were confident in performing CPR. Trained public expressed more concerns regarding CPR performance (competency-related issues, contracting diseases and physical ability to perform CPR), while more trained caregivers had no concern regarding CPR performance.
Conclusions: We found that caregivers were less willing to perform CPR on family members despite having fewer concerns regarding CPR performance. Response bias and cultural factors may explain these. These findings suggest that changing the caregivers' attitudes is crucial for a successful targeted CPR training program.

Uluwatu, the sea temple followed by the kecak dance
Bali Travel Blog› entry 5 of 12 › view all entries
This morning we went into Nusa Dua for the first time. Our hotel is on the southern end of Nusa Dua, all by itself about a 15 minute drive to the town. Nusa Dua is actually Bali's gated compound of resorthotels, gone are the street vendors and the hustle and bustle of the rest of the island.
We took the taxi to bali collection, a group of shops that were extrremely quiet. Bali Collection hasn't been as successful as other malls in Bali, mainly due to its isolation. We looked around grabbed a coffee from Starbucks. I have never been to a Starbucks with 2 other customers before everyone in Japan is packed. My son bought a kite,like the ones he had seen at Kuta and then we went down to the beach at Nusa Dua.
The beach was a nice place to relax, with shade from the palm and cocoanut trees. We sat under one on a couple of crates and ordered a couple of Bintangs from the vendor. She was a sweet , friendly lady who taught my son how to fly his kite. the Bali weather in the dry seasonis perfect not too hot and dry around 30 degrees everyday I never once said I was hot on the whole trip.
The bintangs gone there was one thing to try a cocoanut, the vendor picked up her knife and chopped off the top and plomped two straws into its milk.It was my first time to have a cocoanut I was expecting it to be milkier, sweeterbut therre was not much taste, did I like it no, did I hate it no, would I have another one, only if I was really thirsty and didn't have else to drink.
Walked back through bali collection and stopped at an Italian restraunt, with an Italian chef and had some pizza and spaghetti which was quite nice.
3pm came and we went down to the lobby to go on our first cultural experience of Bali to Uluwatu, and to see the kecak dance followed by seafood BBQ at Jimbalan beach. We had organized with a taxi 250,000 rupiah($25) for his services for the evening. Ulu watu was about a 30-40 minute drive and cost 3000 (30 cents) rupiah to enter.
In the 11th century, the Javanese priest Empu Kuturan first established a temple here. The temple was added to by Niratha, another Javanese priestwho is known for his seafront temples. Niratha retreated to Uluwatu for his final days when he attained moksa (freedom from early desires)
Walking along the path it comes to a stunning clearing to the left Uluwatu'S temple is perched precipitously on top of a sheer cliff that drops straight into the pounding surf, to the right another cliff with perfect views of ul;uwatu and further away from the crowds.Around the temple is where you will see your first minkey, the long tailed, grey monkeys. These monkeys will snatch anything that is attached to your head, sunglasses, hair clips, ribbons etc .
In the temple grounds for 40,000 rupiah($4) you can have the pleasure of watching the amazing kecak dance, the kecak is a unique dance which is not accompanied by any gamelan(orchestra). 100 men sit in a circle, crying out the rythmic chant chak-a chak, chak-a-chak imitating a tropue of monkeys. The dance re encacts the Hindu epic Ramayana, the love story about Prince Rama and his Princess Sita. The kecak is an absolute must see in Bali if you see a dance make sure its this one.
The taxi was waiting for us and drove us to Jimbalan, earlier in the year there was a TB Meet up here. Jimbalan is famous for its gorgeous sunset and great BBQ seafood but unfortunately for us it was already dark when we arrived. Here you choose your food and then they weigh on a scale. 5 large shrimp, a kilo of red snapper and 500 grams of squid were BBQ'd in lime, garlic and spices. The food was devine


text: FXStreet (Delhi) – Imre Speizer, Senior Markets Strategist at Westpac, suggests that over the next month, we see scope for NZD/USD to rise above 0.6900, helped by a decent NZ economic data pulse and a contrasting soggy US data pulse. Key Quotes "The stall in dairy prices last week only slightly damaged the NZD and it has managed to remain inside a 0.6700-0.6900 consolidation range. The RBNZ may give the NZD a slight lift this week within that range." "This week's key NZ event will be the RBNZ's OCR Review (Thu). Governor Wheeler will probably restate the policy elements of his speech on 14 October - a hawkish shift from Sep, where he signalled one more rate cut to 2.5% is planned, but also that the buoyant housing market and the need to retain emergency policy ammunition warranted caution." "3 months ahead: Multi-month, we see the NZ economy slowing, the RBNZ easing in December, and the Fed possibly tightening during the next few months; taking NZD/USD to 0.62. That said, any further delays in Fed tightening will cast doubt on our forecast decline in the NZD/USD." "1 year ahead: Our 1 year ahead forecast is 0.62, based partly on the OCR being cut to 2.0%."

What started as a way to save a buck in our home's decor is quickly turning into my latest hobby – refurbishing furniture. You guys may remember my first furniture makeover project where I turned this dated console into a contemporary buffet for our dining room.
I've been working on a decor plan for our master bedroom and fell in love with these Hollywood regency style nightstands When the price tag was out of my budget, I went to my backup plan. Scouring Craigslist and secondhand furniture stores for something I could makeover for a similar look.
I found these pieces at a secondhand store and saw immediate potential. While they didn't match, they shared the same clean lines, brass footing and brass plates that I thought I could make work. My plan was to makeover each piece to have one drawer at the top and an open bottom, painted in a milky gray and with two matching bamboo pull handles. Here's the before…
I started by removing all of the existing hardware and then sanding and priming each chest to ensure the paint would stick without flaking. Even though I planned to use chalk paint, which boasts no sanding or priming needed, it can be expensive so priming also lets you use less coats if you are painting a light color over dark wood.
After the prep work, I started installing a drawer into the shelf chest using the hardware and tracks from the shelf I took out of the chest. The extra wood for the drawer tracks and shelf I picked out and had them cut at The Home Depot. This part was definitely the most difficult.
After A LOT of hard work and paint, dry, repeat…here's the final product! They are yet to be styled but I was so antsy they've moved into our bedroom and I LOVE them. I kept the shelf on the left chest to store books, but left on fully open at the bottom. I'm really happy with how they turned out and they have already made our bedroom feel a little bit more put together.
A closer look at the paint, which is Annie Sloan's Paris Gray, and the brass bamboo hardware is the Kanota Drawer Pull in un-lacquered brass from Rejuvenation.
I used the Zissner 123 water-based primer that I had seen recommended on other DIY blogs. For the sanding and drill handy work, I used the below tools. I highly recommend an orbital sander. It cuts down on the pain of having to hand sand. This drill is my favorite in fact it was CT's and I've now claimed it as my own. It's cordless and has multiple speeds so you don't strip screw heads. For the finish, I used a polycrylic to give me a protective coating. It darkened up the paint a little bit and gave it some interest which I loved.
If you follow me on Instagram, you know our cat Luc is a huge fan too. Can't keep him off of them!
Next up on my list is this beauty I snagged at the same time. I am thinking a creamy white with brass hardware, but leaving the marbled wood front exposed. No home for this one yet, so we'll see!

The web development business has been a little slow lately for us and after talking with some other developers and designers, I have been hearing the same thing – so maybe it's an industry trend of a slow period. Anyway, ProfessionalGFX has hit a slow spell and we are looking for new clients as always!
I am currently working on some updates to BCW Prints and Temple Workout Gear. My client for these projects has also promised a few referrals to friends and others that she works with, so I am looking forward to being able to develop those relationships.
We are also looking at creating a new design for the ProfessionalGFX website which will feature more of a portal/network look displaying our internet properties (Virginia hiking trail information, dorm room business help, and a Raven Symone celebrity website) and also for our clients to get some more exposure. Finding that middle ground between portfolio and network is the problem. Any suggestions? Feel free to comment.

What Healthcare Answering Services Really Do
A healthcare answering service is a kind of call center that handles incoming calls of medical practitioners including doctors, dentists, physiotherapists, psychotherapists, hospitals, and nursing homes. In such an arrangement, your calls are transferred to your medical answering service, where a team of dedicated professionals attends them. The callers do not realize the fact that a third-party firm is attending their calls; they get the feeling as if they are talking to the staff of your clinic.
Healthcare answering services have experienced and skilled professionals for handling calls. Each and every operator undergoes extensive training, which acquaints them with medical terminology and teaches them how to talk to patients, how to forward messages to medical practitioners, and how to handle medical emergencies. They are also provided training about HIPPA compliance to ensure that the health information of customers and patients remains protected.
Here are some of the important things that a physician answering service can do for you.
1. Making Appointments
Doctors are so busy that it is not possible for them to take calls every now and then. As a result, patients find it really hard to contact them. Even to make appointments, patients struggle at times. But, you can facilitate your patients by hiring a medical answering service. Such service providers do a variety of tasks for you, including scheduling appointments. Once you hire a professional answering service, your patients will be able to make appointments at their convenience.
2. Answering Generic Queries
A lot of patients call every day just to inquire about the working hours of the clinic or its location, to check the specialization of the doctor, and so forth. Medical call centers answer all such generic questions on your behalf. Some specialized service providers even help patients in case of medical queries regarding prescriptions, diets, medical reports, and insurance. If the call operator cannot answer the patient's question, he or she forwards the message to you so that you can provide the required information or help.
3. Handling Emergency Situations
There are times when patients need immediate medical help, but due to the nonavailability of the doctor, they are not able to contact him or her. A medical answering service eliminates this problem. The call operators ensure that emergency calls are forwarded to the concerned doctor immediately. First, they try to reach the doctor through a phone call, but if they are unsuccessful, they send the message through emails and texts. You can also give alternate phone numbers to your service provider where they can ask for help if you are not reachable. A medical answering service helps you build trust among your patients. Because they are able to reach you easily in case of emergencies, they feel confident that you are there to help them whenever medical needs arise.
An answering service is indispensable. Depending on the scale of practice, you can either choose to forward all your calls or only when you are not available. Such types of healthcare answering services help you primarily in two ways. First, your patients do not have to wait long for scheduling appointments and getting answers to their queries, and secondly, it gives more time to you to focus on your medical practice.

Healthcare Answering Service help doctors handle their incoming calls properly. As such a service offers immense benefits at a small cost, you should consider using it. For more information on physician answering service, visit rutherfordtas.com.

MOTHERWELL manager Ian Baraclough has urged his side to recapture the form they showed in his first two games at the Fir Park helm if they are to climb clear of the Scottish Premiership relegation zone.
The Lanarkshire club are sitting precariously at third bottom in the table after suffering their third defeat on the trot as a result of Saturday's 4-1 loss away to Dundee with just ten men.
After a bright start under Baraclough when they recorded back-to-back victories, Well have slipped back to their old ways.
Baraclough said: "The first two games I was here I saw a hunger, a desire to go and do well and work as a group, to throw themselves in front of things if it needed that. But for some reason it's gone against us the first couple of goals and we've almost accepted it.
"For me one of the first things I put on the board is you can't win games of football unless you're willing to put the hard work in.
"That should be the bare minimum and you've got to drag that out of everybody, not just me, you've got to drag that out of everybody.
"It's got to come from all the players as well because it's livelihoods at stake. We have to do something about it now and we will."
Motherwell never recovered from their horrific start which saw Dundee race into a 2-0 lead after eight minutes after strikes from on-loan Hibs man Alex Harris and Greg Stewart.
John Sutton's brief reply was cancelled out by Gary Irvine's tap-in before half-time and the sending-off of Henrik Ojamaa for elbowing Kevin Thomson killed any hopes of a comeback.
Baraclough said: "We talk from the start of the week and building up to match day about having a good start, getting a foothold in the game, making it difficult for your opponents, being on the front foot and after eight minutes you're 2-0 down.
"They all want to be at a football club next season, whether it's this one or elsewhere and every time they go onto a pitch they've got to showcase their talents. I'm not sure that one or two are showcasing their talents at the moment.
"I looked at past results and at how the club had been performing before I came and I knew it was going to be a tough job. It's no different now I've been three or four weeks in the job. I'm still excited about it because I know there are players in there that can get this club out of the position we're in at the moment."
Dundee completed their rout with a bizarre own goal from Mark O'Brien after a shot from substitute Luka Tankulic but manager Paul Hartley was simply relieved to return to winning ways. He said: "We got off to a really positive start. We said that to the players beforehand, that we had to take the game to Motherwell. Now it's about looking upwards.
"We've come through a tricky spell so all credit to the lads. It's not been easy but they have stuck at it at all times. They have shown great spirit and togetherness."

Derbyshire County Council has announced it will now pay its apprentices the minimum wage.
Apprentices at the council are currently paid an hourly rate of £2.65 which is the apprenticeship rate established under The National Minimum Wage Regulations.
Cllr Kevin Gillott, the Labour Deputy Leader, said: "It is quite frankly appalling that for the last four years the Derbyshire Tories have been paying our apprentices only £2.65 an hour."
The Labour group also announced a number of measures to help the apprentices get to work after it was found that often wages do not cover transport costs.

Today's Reading: John 2:13 – 3:36
"All right," Jesus replied. "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
"What!" they exclaimed. "It has taken forty-six years to build this Temple, and you can rebuild it in three days?" – John 2:19-20
This was the conversation that occurred between Jesus and the Jewish leaders when he chased the money-changers and vendors out of the Temple in Jerusalem. Passion for God's house consumed Jesus and he took action to make a change. The Jewish leaders demanded an explanation – no, a miraculous sign – to prove Jesus had authority to do this. When he offered them one, they did not believe him and so they missed out on an opportunity. All they had to do was believe, but they chose unbelief instead.
Later, one of the Jewish leaders came after dark to speak with Jesus. Nicodemus had seen the miraculous signs Jesus was performing among the people and knew that Jesus was sent by God, but he still had questions.
Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God."
"What do you mean?" exclaimed Nicodemus. "How can an old man go back into his mother's womb and be born again?" – John 3:3-4
Jesus was speaking of spiritual rebirth but Nicodemus was stuck in the physical or literal explanation. He lacked an understanding of the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives and he lacked the faith he needed to take Jesus at his word.
Jesus replied, "You are a respected Jewish teacher, and yet you don't understand these things? I assure you, we tell you what we know and have seen, and yet you won't believe our testimony. But if you don't BELIEVE me when I tell you about earthly things, how can you possibly BELIEVE if I tell you about heavenly things? No one has ever gone to heaven and returned. But the Son of Man has come down from heaven. And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, so that everyone who BELIEVES in him will have eternal life.
"For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who BELIEVES in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.
"There is no judgment against anyone who BELIEVES in him. But anyone who does not BELIEVE in him has already been judged for not believing in God's one and only Son. And the judgment is based on this fact: God's light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed. But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants." –John 3:10-21
Day or night, light or dark, belief or unbelief. We have a choice to believe and walk into the light or not believe and stay in the dark. When we truly believe, we step into the light with a willingness to let our sins be exposed. Jesus meets us there, not to judge our sins but to save us from our sins and offer us eternal life – SPIRITUAL REBIRTH.
"…The Father loves his Son and has put everything into his hands. And anyone who BELIEVES in God's Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn't obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God's angry judgment." – John 3:35-36
These are the words of John the Baptist regarding Jesus. His disciples had come to him concerned that everybody was going to Jesus to be baptized instead of coming to John and his disciples. John, who believed that Jesus was the Messiah, spoke with confidence of God's plan.
"It is the bridegroom who marries the bride, and the best man is simply glad to stand with him and hear his vows. Therefore, I am filled with joy at his success. He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.
"He has come from above and is greater than anyone else. We are of the earth, and we speak of earthly things, but he has come from heaven and is greater than anyone else. He testifies about what he has seen and heard, but how few BELIEVE what he tells them! Anyone who accepts his testimony can affirm that God is true. For he is sent by God. He speaks God's words, for God gives him the Spirit without limit…" – John 3:29-34
Still today we live in a society where few truly believe in God. We have a choice – to believe and allow God to transform our lives through spiritual rebirth OR to not believe and continue to focus on earthly things. When we have doubts, we can either focus on the struggle or focus on Jesus in the midst of the struggle. He holds the answers and can help us get through our struggles. He can allow the struggle to strengthen our faith.
The movies God's Not Dead and God's Not Dead 2 challenged people to either confirm that they BELIEVE in God or admit they have given up on the struggle and choose unbelief. Debates on whether there really is a God can be heard across social media, college class discussions and coffee shop conversations. If someone told you to come to the front of the class and convince those around you of God's existence, would you? Better yet, could you?
If you struggled with doubts but came out strong in your faith as a result of the struggle, it is necessary to now equip yourself for the conversations God is going to place before you. Let's be ready to share why we BELIEVE what we BELIEVE. If you are still in the midst of the struggle to BELIEVE, trust someone with those doubts. Focus on Jesus in the midst of the doubts and allow Him to reveal Himself to you. Let Him give you a rebirth or new life experience that will help you to experience His presence and give you faith that God is most definitely not dead.

Big things happen when you drag pops and grandpa out to the record store. Check out this week's Billboard album chart, and you'll find Susan Boyle scoring another big debut. The owner of 2009's biggest selling album looks to score a huge seller in 2010 with "The Gift". The collection of new material and holiday classics scans 318,000 units, easily taking the top spot away from Taylor Swift. Not that Taylor's doing too shabby. "Speak Now" adds another 212,000 copies to it's total. In just three weeks, Taylor's third album has sold nearly 1.6 million copies. It's already 2010's fourth biggest selling album.
As is typical for November, it's a big week for debuts. Boyle is joined in the Top Ten by five other new releases. Kid Cudi opens at #3 with "Man on the Moon 2: The Legend of Mr. Rager". Cudi's sophomore effort scans 169,000 copies just as his debut album steps just a few thousand copies away from the 500,000 mark. Cudi's managed to score a fantastic first week despite not being able to come up with a single anywhere near as big as the two smashes from his debut-"Make Her Say" and "Day 'n Nite". He's joined by the "Now 36" compilation at #4, Bon Jovi's latest hits collection at #5, the new Reba McEntire at #7 and Cee-Lo Green's "The Lady Killer" at #9. Three of the four holdovers in the Top Ten come from the country genre-aside from Swift, there's Jason Aldean at #6 and Sugarland at #8. Lil Wayne rounds out the Top Ten at #10. The long line of debuts pushes Eminem's "Recovery" out of the Top Ten for the first time in it's 22-week history.
The Country Music Association awards were very, very good to many of the artists who performed, presented or won trophies on the show. Just about everyone who made an appearance on the ceremony shows an increase. Miranda Lambert's year-old "Revolution" album posts a whopping 137% increase to land at #15 on the chart this week. Lambert took home awards for Female Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year at the ceremony. Coincidentally, her husband Blake Shelton debuts at #23 on this week's chart with a Greatest Hits compilation.
Even with a deluge of new releases this week, Boyle is expected to hang on to the top spot on next week's chart, with a total that will come close to matching the sum that was rung up in the debut week-quite impressive. The biggest debut will come out of virtually nowhere in the form of Jackie Evancho. The kid from "America's Got Talent" is looking at a debut just south of 300K. Not too shabby. Actually, the chart as a whole will look a lot like one from a few years ago, in terms of who's on it as well as the numbers. In addition to newcomers Boyle and Evancho, next week's totals will come in at 150K+ for Rihanna, Josh Groban, Kid Rock and Rascal Flatts as well as the returning Taylor Swift. This will, of course, lead into what's expected to be a hotly contested battle for the #1 during Thanksgiving week. We'll be welcoming new albums from Kanye West and Nicki Minaj to the chart, as well as seeing what Boyle, Groban and Swift can come up with.
Here's this week's Top 20 albums:
1) "The Gift" Susan Boyle
2) "Speak Now" Taylor Swift
3) "Man on the Moon 2: The Legend of Mr. Rager" Kid Cudi
4) "Now That's What I Call Music 36" Various Artists
5) "Greatest Hits" Bon Jovi
6) "My Kinda Party" Jason Aldean
7) "All The Women I Am" Reba McEntire
8) "The Incredible Machine" Sugarland
9) "The Lady Killer" Cee-Lo Green
10) "I Am Not a Human Being" Lil Wayne
11) "Recovery" Eminem
12) "Merry Christmas II You" Mariah Carey
13) "Need You Now" Lady Antebellum
14) "Come Around Sundown" Kings of Leon

Postcard from the walls of Hobart
The details of a place have always interested me more than a sweeping panorama: those are the rewards for paying attention, for actively searching your surroundings instead of complacently heading toward the next scenic vista. Hobart was full of the sort of details I love: a shock of green valiantly pushing through a crack in the wall, brightly-painted doors next to white-washed walls, the under layers of a building shining through. Does anyone else find these details as beautiful as I do?

Is it Synchronicity or am I living a Dream?
A friend from coaching class posted a note on FB about synchronicity yesterday. From post to comment, to reading his blog article, it gave me a great idea… one that will solve a problem I wanted to deal with promptly. So I took action on what came to me through this turn of events… My action in turn generated feedback from friends… My plan materialized within a few hours.
Synchronicity? Sure. Why not? I do think some kind of energy is definitely guiding elements to fall into place, getting me closer to my Life Dream…
And then I think… am I dreaming?
Sometimes when things fall into place so well, we kind'a wonder. Is this real?
Why not?
When you do what you want, not what you should, amazing things just start to happen. Synchronicity is a force that comes to play. The energy that you create opens the doors to this surprisingly powerful reality that will never cease to amaze you.
What would you WANT to change in YOUR life to bring Synchronicity to help you move things forward? How could this align with your next set of New Year's Resolutions? 2012 is around the corner…

By Russell Bennett
With less than a second left and the Pakenham Big V men's basketballers trailing by two points on hostile enemy soil at the Toyota Hothouse in Mildura, it took something truly special on Saturday night for the Warriors to advance from their knockout elimination final.
Up stepped Gaze – Ben Gaze.
With less than half a second left on the clock – 0.4 seconds to be exact – the Warriors captain drained the most clutch of three-pointers to stun the Mildura Heat in an absolutely jaw-dropping finish, 67-66.
"Mildura at Mildura is a mission that teams often can't come out victorious on, and going into the game we knew it was going to be tough," said Warriors head coach Brent Russell.
"Mildura is a side that's always backed to win at home and, sure enough, the league tipped them to win."
But this was the little Warriors squad that could. Of the traveling party of 27, 14 were players and coaching staff.
But while they were outnumbered, they'd never be beaten for heart or sheer passion.
"The atmosphere was huge and we knew we had to stick together throughout the entire contest," Russell said.
"Our game plan was simple – execute on both ends of the floor, and come out hot early to take the crowd out of it."
But the Heat got the upper hand early and had the parochial home crowd behind them.
"Going into half-time down seven points we knew we just had to play 20 more minutes of Pakenham Warrior basketball," Russell said.
"We'd been in this situation before so it was up to us to fight to the end and keep our season alive."
The third term belonged to Pakenham, with Gaze coming out on fire against the heat with six straight points – forcing Mildura into a pair of timeouts.
"We'd established a lead purely from team defensive efforts – holding them to nine points for that quarter – but we knew the game wasn't over and that Mildura would come back with the support of the town in the stadium behind them," Russell said.
"The best part about this squad is that they stick together and believe in each other.
"We had all guys contributing on both ends of the floor but nothing can go past 'that shot' from Gazey to hit that game-winner.
"It just made that drive a happy one on the way home!"
Gaze led the way for Pakenham with 24 points and, almost fittingly, the only one of the eight three point attempts he made was the one that counted most. Big man Josh Bjelan finished with a big double-double – 13 points and 15 boards – while James Topp (15 points) and Nick Ross (11 points) were the other double-figure scorers.
"These guys have fight, know what they want and believe in each other," Russell said proudly.
"We advance now to the next step – against Craigieburn in a best of three series so all our focus is on them now.
"As much as we would love to keep playing back that shot, we move on to our next assignment and, hopefully, we can advance further to somewhere the club has never been before."
Russell also praised the army of Warriors supporters on the weekend, adding: "A massive shout out to the support we got at Mildura and over social media. Warriors fans, you guys are amazing!"
Game one of the Warriors' best-of-three semi-final series against the Craigieburn Eagles tips off at 7pm this Saturday at The Colosseum at Cardinia Life.

The unit warms incoming fresh air using heat from air exhausted from the building, and circulates it to the rooms through a ductwork system
The unit has a counter-flow heat exchanger by which the unit uses approximately 95% of the heat of the air that is blown out, to heat up the fresh air from outside. Each unit has a unique mechanism to prevent the unit from freezing. The unit also incorporates a summer bypass valve, so that when the user selects a cooler temperature it bypasses the fresh incoming air away from the heat exchanger to provide unheated fresh air.

A Review of the Role Playing Game Supplement Village Backdrop: Hosford
Village Backdrop: Hosford by John Bennett is a role playing game supplement published by Raging Swan Press for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. As such, the supplement is covered by the Open Game License and therefore some of it is considered to be Open Game Content. The settlement is part of The Lonely Coast mini-setting, located between the town of Wolverton and the village of Swallowfield on the coast.
This is a thirteen page bookmarked PDF which is available from RPGNow at the regular price of $2.45 although it was purchased as part of a special bundle for only $0.11. Two pages are the publisher's standard plain front and rear covers, one page is an advert for other supplements, three pages are the front matter and a hyperlinked contents table, and also have a listing of stat blocks by CR, one page is a standard piece on how the stat blocks in the supplement should be interpreted and one page is the Open Game License and an advert for several more Lonely Coast products. The supplement comes in two formats, one optimised for print and one for screen. Hosford is also included in the compilation supplement, GM's Miscellany: Village Backdrops, which is available in PDF and print on demand softcover.
Hosford At a Glance is the initial two page section and is in a format that will be familiar to readers of Raging Swan's free GM's Monthly Miscellanies. It has a brief description of the village, which is at a ford of the river Hoslo, including its demographics and marketplace, which are laid out in the standard Pathfinder format, a listing of notable NPCs and an overview of notable locations, several items of village lore and six whispers & rumours, some of which are false, and descriptions of the villagers themselves. A map of the village is also in this section.
Notable Locations is another two pages and this section describes the locations listed in the prior section in more detail. This includes the mines, cove and a sea cave where a senile druid has mistaken a sea drake for a god and is feeding it people. There are stat blocks for two of the major NPCs and a brief description of the surrounding area.
Life in Hosford is the final page covering the village itself. This has details on law and order, trade and industry and the current situation in Hosford following the disappearances caused by the sea drake and the druid, which has resulted in a climate of mutual blame, a situation definitely ripe for player involvement. There are also six random events and a stat block for a typical villager.
The PDF is extremely well bookmarked for one of this length, with major and minor sections covered. The Contents are hyperlinked, although not to the same level. Navigation is therefore well above average for the length. The text maintains a two column format with no errors noticed. Bar the map, there is only one black and white filler illustration.
Hosford is intended to be used with the Lonely Coast; the current reeve has been assigned to look into the disappearances in the town, which included the previous holder of the office, by the rulers of the area. There is a passing remark that links some dwarven inhabitants to a clan in Bossin. That said, this village can easily be dropped into another suitable coastal location, as the ties aren't so strong that they couldn't be changed. Despite the fact that a large proportion of the supplement is taken up by material not associated with the village, Village Backdrop: Hosford is still a nice little settlement that can easily be used, and it can be found by clicking here.

We know the value of a high-quality early childhood education because we see it impact the lives of children and families every day.
But what does the big picture look like in our community? In addition to the experiential feedback we get from families, we look at best practices, trends, and regional data. Here are a few of the facts that shape what we do, and how we do it.
Only 41% of Hispanic children in Minneapolis are ready for kindergarten when they get there. This number is even more discouraging when the focus is narrowed to Spanish-speakers (only 36% are kindergarten-ready).
41% of Minneapolis Hispanic children also live in poverty. Poverty has its own host of linked repercussions, including obesity, food insecurity, and toxic stress — all of which affect a child's ability to succeed in school.
Joyce approaches these with a simple perspective: to give children their best opportunities, we don't just enroll preschoolers, but work in partnership with families. At-home circumstances affect in-school success, so classroom time isn't enough on its own: we emphasize empowering, educating, and involving our families. We are proud that 100% of our graduates last year were ready for kindergarten — whatever language they spoke, or background they came from.
The evidence continues to pile up that the benefits of high-quality early childhood education are worth the investment, and one of the few ways to promote true economic development. For every $1 invested in high-quality early childhood education, communities see a huge return — studies suggest at least $8 and as much as $12.
More than half of Hispanics in Minnesota weren't born in the United States. Immigrants face a variety of linguistic and cultural challenges, and while the causes are complex, data shows children from immigrant families are less likely to attend preschool, and Hispanic children are one of the least likely major ethnic groups to enroll.
In addition to working toward kindergarten readiness, Joyce's program affirms each child's first language and culture, which provides a strong foundation for children to succeed in school and learn a second language. Our program is bilingually and culturally accessible to a variety of families, and provides a safe space for immigrant and Spanish-speaking families to learn the skills they need to navigate an English-dominant school system. Starting to learn a second language early also increases the skill level students can achieve, has cognitive benefits at all ages, and provides a lifelong skill necessary to compete in the global marketplace.
30 million
Language development begins with the words a child hears, which is why The 30 Million Word Gap is so worrying. By age 4, children from low-income homes hear, on average, 30 million fewer words than their counterparts in higher income brackets. This affects their vocabulary growth and language development their entire lives.
Joyce addresses this gap by providing literacy programming that focuses on the whole family, encouraging families to read at home in both languages and providing literacy-focused activities that parents and children can engage in together.
1 in 4
While preschool of any kind makes a difference for children, it's high-quality programs that make the biggest difference. If all programs were high-quality, U.S. preschool education could be 10 times more effective in closing the achievement gap.
Joyce is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Only 1 in every 4 preschool programs in Minnesota are NAEYC accredited; the process subjects the program to intense levels of scrutiny, and ensures we follow the highest standards for best practices in our field. Joyce is proud to value the quality of its program as paramount, and invest in the continued professional development of our teachers.

Human-induced land use changes are leading to rapid habitat fragmentation. As a result, local populations are increasingly unable to track ongoing climate change (Travis 2003) and will have to adapt to the new environmental conditions or go extinct. The ability to adapt genetically depends on the amount of heritable variation currently present in a population. Thus, one way to mitigate the potential impacts of climate change on biodiversity is to ensure that the evolutionary processes underlying the generation and maintenance of such variation are preserved (Smith et al. 1993). Evolutionary processes have long been regarded of major importance in reserve design (e.g. Frankel 1974; Moritz 2002; Gregory et al. 2006; Smith and Grether 2008), but in practice have seen limited use in conservation planning. Nevertheless, given the current rate of anthropogenic climate change, there is an urgent need for approaches that enable conservation biologists to take into account evolutionary processes in prioritization schemes.
Recently, we proposed a novel, integrative approach to incorporate evolutionary processes in conservation prioritization based on spatially explicit models of intraspecific genetic and phenotypic variation, in combination with species-level data (Thomassen et al. 2010). The approach is based on the assumption that retaining the highest possible levels of adaptive variation will be a useful strategy to maximize a species' adaptive potential (e.g. Vandergast et al. 2008; Tymchuk et al. 2010; Sgrò et al. 2011). In contrast to species richness, adaptive intraspecific variation is likely to be the result of relatively recent microevolutionary processes and represents options for an evolutionary response to current and future environmental conditions. To accomplish its inclusion in conservation prioritization, ecological modeling approaches used to map intraspecific variation should be integrated with existing conservation strategies. To this end, we suggested a framework that includes the modeling of species distributions and corresponding environmentally associated intraspecific variation using population-level genetic and phenotypic variation and the subsequent integration of the resulting models with species-level information and socio-economic data to finalize prioritization (Thomassen et al. 2010). As a result of recent advances in spatially explicit modeling methods and the availability of climate and high-resolution remotely sensed environmental information, such an integrative approach is now feasible. Climate and remote sensing data capture many habitat properties that are important to characterize a species' ecological niche and to identify selective processes that result in adaptive variation. Because environmental variables often cover most of the global land surface, it is possible to predict environmentally associated intraspecific genetic and phenotypic variation to areas that have not been previously sampled.
Here, we extend our model to include multiple amphibian, bird, and mammal species. Our aim is to assess the utility of environmentally associated intraspecific variation in conservation prioritization. We focus on the association between intraspecific variation and environmental heterogeneity, because it is reasonable to suspect that this association is the combined result of direct selective forces on linked genes and of decreased gene flow because of reduced dispersal ability caused by habitat differences. Thus, intraspecific variation insofar explained by spatial heterogeneity in environmental variables may represent adaptive variation, even if the markers examined are evolving neutrally. Moreover, the morphological characters studied are fitness-related in many species. We investigate two important issues. First, if historical evolutionary processes that have resulted in speciation remain important today, traditional methods of reserve design based on species-level data may also capture relevant intraspecific variation. However, if this is not the case, valuable intraspecific variation may not be conserved with traditional methods. Second, because it is not feasible to gather data for all species present in a region under consideration for conservation, reserve design must rely on a limited subset of species that may or may not be representative of the entire community. Our objectives in this paper are to (i) model the distributions of a set of target species; (ii) model genetic and morphological variation in those species; (iii) design reserves based on patterns of intraspecific variation; (iv) design reserves based on species-level data; (v) compare the overlap between priority areas based on intraspecific variation and species-level data; and (vi) assess whether priority areas based on intraspecific variation are consistent among species. Our goal is not to produce a reserve plan, which would require the inclusion of socio-economic, cost, and threat criteria, as well as the input of stakeholders. Rather, we aim to examine the utility of our proposed strategy from a purely biological perspective, focusing on maximizing different aspects of biodiversity. Our framework is also largely independent of the choice of modeling and reserve selection software, and the methods that we use here might readily be replaced by others developed in the future.
We conducted our research in continental Ecuador, a region that has received considerable conservation focus, because of its high species richness, endemism, and level of threat (e.g. Orme et al. 2005; Finer et al. 2010). Ecuador is geographically highly diverse, harboring steep environmental gradients along the slopes of the Andes, with the Pacific coastal region on the west, and the Amazon basin on the east. The topographic and climatologic heterogeneity of the country has likely resulted in diversifying selection, and divergence through isolation, resulting in high biodiversity (e.g. Graham et al. 2004; Chaves et al. 2007; Milá et al. 2009). Two previously defined biodiversity hotspots occur in Ecuador: the Chocó/Darien/West Ecuador and the Tropical Andes ecoregions (Myers et al. 2000). Lowland, eastern Ecuador is part of the Amazon basin ecoregion. Ecuador is highly suitable for our study, because our results can be compared to previous prioritization plans and existing protected areas. Further, its variety of environmental gradients and opportunities for isolation make it an ideal test of our approach for complex regions harboring much biodiversity.
