Students from Oceanside and Tijuana learned about water pollution and agriculture Nov. 7 as part of a World Water Monitoring Day event at Birch Aquarium that included lessons from San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) specialists.
SDCOE's Green Machine and Splash Science Mobile Lab were featured at the event, which was put on by San Diego Coastkeeper, a nonprofit group dedicated to protecting and restoring water in San Diego County. San Diego Coastkeeper and Birch Aquarium also presented lessons at the event.
Students said they learned valuable lessons about pollution, water, and wildlife.
"I learned that if we contaminate the water then we actually contaminate the ocean," said Danna, a 6th-grader from Colegio Cricri in Tijuana. "That's why it is important to take care of the water."
Benjamin, a 5th-grader at Stuart Mesa Elementary in Oceanside said he was excited to not only get to learn about ladybugs but also to get to hold some.
"I liked that we learned about bugs and how some are harmful and some are not," he said.
A total of 127 students in grades 4 through 6 attended the event. Most of the students live near estuaries. The majority of the students from Stuart Mesa Elementary live on Camp Pendleton, near the Santa Margarita Estuary. The students from Tijuana live near the Tijuana Estuary. An Estuary is a partly enclosed body of water that runs between the open sea and at least one fresh-water river or stream.
"We teach them about what's going on in their own backyard," said Megan Baehrens, executive director of San Diego Coastkeeper. "It's very practical and science-focused."
Students from Tijuana were selected for the trip for having good grades in their English classes and good behavior.
"They feel special because they were chosen, and we have them do a presentation when they come back and share with others," the principal of the school said.
Fe Perez, teacher at Stuart Mesa Elementary, said she has already used information provided by Birch Aquarium in classroom lessons and plans to follow up after the event with more.
"It's a real-life experience that brings the classroom to life for them," she said.
The event is a great way for SDCOE's Outdoor Education specialists to reach students they wouldn't normally, said Amy Tran, a program assistant with the Outdoor Education unit. The lessons are custom-tailored for the students, focusing on the estuaries they live near.
World Water Monitoring Day is an international education and outreach program that builds public awareness of the importance of protecting water resources around the world by engaging people to conduct basic monitoring of their local water bodies. San Diego Coastkeeper has been organizing the local event at Birch Aquarium since 2011.
"It's a celebration about water quality and the importance of keeping water clean," said Sandra Lebron, education coordinator with the group.

Finally, I have found a role where I am able to talk into my own childhood experiences while still making use of the skills I learnt through teaching in mainstream education. The course has taught me to understand what a holistic approach could look like in an educational setting.

CitationJonathan Zittrain, John G. Palfrey, Ronald Deibert, Rafal Rohozinski, Nart Villeneuve & Derek Bambauer, Internet Filtering in China 2004-2005 (2005).
AbstractChina's Internet filtering regime is the most sophisticated effort of its kind in the world. Compared to similar efforts in other states, China's filtering regime is pervasive, sophisticated, and effective. It comprises multiple levels of legal regulation and technical control. It involves numerous state agencies and thousands of public and private personnel. It censors content transmitted through multiple methods, including Web pages, Web logs, on-line discussion forums, university bulletin board systems, and e-mail messages. Our testing found efforts to prevent access to a wide range of sensitive materials, from pornography to religious material to political dissent. We sought to determine the degree to which China filters sites on topics that the Chinese government finds sensitive, and found that the state does so extensively. Chinese citizens seeking access to Web sites containing content related to Taiwanese and Tibetan independence, Falun Gong, the Dalai Lama, the Tiananmen Square incident, opposition political parties, or a variety of anti-Communist movements will frequently find themselves blocked. Contrary to anecdote, we found that most major American media sites, such as CNN, MSNBC, and ABC, are generally available in China (though the BBC remains blocked). Moreover, most sites we tested in our global list's human rights and anonymizer categories are accessible as well. While it is difficult to describe this widespread filtering with precision, our research documents a system that imposes strong controls on its citizens' ability to view and to publish Internet content. This report was produced by the OpenNet Initiative, a partnership among the Advanced Network Research Group, Cambridge Security Programme at Cambridge University, the Citizen Lab at the Munk Centre for International Studies, University of Toronto, and the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School.

Buying gifts for men are not as tough as women, but one can't go as far as saying that it's easy. While in case of women there are a lot of choices, in case of men there are limited options. And if you've already gifted him those things then you're in trouble. However, worry not because we have an excellent idea for the personalised gift for him: a photo frame jigsaw puzzle. Now, to help you along with what kind of a picture or collage you need to choose, we'll give you some tips regarding what kind of gifts will make him smile:
Depicts your Love for Him – Men and women both want some surety that their significant other loves them and cares about them. A personalised gift for him which expresses your love will make him smile.
Loving Memories – Get a personalised gift for him that will remind him of all the good times that you've had and the happy moments of your relationship, such as pictures of a trip that you took together.
Meaningful – Gifts for loved ones ought to be personal and meaningful. Get him something which shows how much he means to you.
Reminds him of You – Get a personalised gift for him which reminds him of you all the time. So that whenever he looks at it, it reminds him of the bond and the love you both share.
Something that Interests Him – Most of the men are genuinely pleased by receiving a gift that is of their interest. It might not sound so personal, but it does depict how much you know them, to begin with. For example, you can gift a jigsaw puzzle of Marvel heroes to a huge Marvel fan.
Represents his Personality – A personalised gift for him should depict his nature and personality. Now, you can't gift him a photo with bright pink coloured photo frame, right? Or maybe you can if he likes that colour.
Makes him Feel Special – Who doesn't want to feel exclusive right? The best gift is that which reminds a person of how important they are to you and the special place they hold in your heart.

Do Japanese Tend to Think There's One Standard English?
Do Japanese Canadians Speak One of Many Kinds of English?
Whether we speak English or Japanese, the language we use daily, strictly speaking, differs from one person to another. In linguistics, they use the word idiolect to mean the language and speech pattern of one individual (its antonym is dialect, meaning language spoken in one geographical region). Language is an important part of our sense of self-identity, so one cannot casually tell someone your English (Japanese) is like this or like that without risking offense to his/her sense of self-esteem.
Be that as it may, for one who has been living off language—writing, speaking (interpreting) and in recent years teaching (i.e. more learning)—starting with part-time English-teaching jobs back in high school days, language to this day remains a fascinating subject, not unlike the pleasure a collector of watches or guitars might derive from admiring and touching a collection of finely-crafted timepieces.
I'd like to take a brief look at what the English language might mean for people in Japan and for Nikkei people. The hook, so to speak, is a recent decision by Uniqlo Co Ltd, the giant low-cost apparel retail chain in Japan, to make English its official working language, in order to boost its global operations. As the move followed similar earlier decisions by two other corporate giants, Nissan and Rakuten, it reignited the sputtering controversy over the adoption of English issue which goes back to a proposal mooted by the government a decade ago. Many of the arguments I have looked at, both pro and con, are somewhat hackneyed, but my over-riding impression is that one key question of What kind of English? has not been adequately explored.
One critic of moves to adopt English, writer Hideaki Matsunaga said it was a misconception (kanchigai) to think that the language of the United States and Britain was global and other languages including Japanese were local. Its better to emphasize the learning of second and third languages to promote multi-lingualization rather than to adopt English, Mr Matsunaga argued. The view that learning English is tantamount to being obsequious to Britain and the US has been around for a long time in Japan. But in this day and age, when English has been the most widely used language of international business for over half a century probably, I would have to say rejecting it that way is rather narrow-minded as well as impractical.
It might be a national trait, but many Japanese seem to feel insecure unless they have something they can call correct standard English that they can work toward. In my opinion, global English should have enough scope and latitude to cover everything from the standard English of Britain and the US (the real McCoy?) to the simplified, rough-hewn English that, for instance, a Slovakian, a Brazilian, a Thai and a Japanese might rely on for substantial communication at work or in a business situation.
In North America alone, many kinds of English are spoken, from the way some Chinese or Latino folks speak to the ways Italian or Jewish Americans tend to speak, with varying degrees of closeness to standard English. There is also the Southern drawl and the way many African Americans tend to speak. Overseas, there are also countries and territories like the Philippines, Guam, Marshall Islands on the Pacific side and the Virgin Islands in the Caribbean that are, or used to be, governed by the US.
Then there are also more than 50 countries which used to be colonies and territories of the British Empire that once extended to parts of all five continents. Apart from countries like Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, where British emigrants settled, there are former colonies including Hong Kong, Singapore, India, Pakistan and others in Asia, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania and so on in Africa and countries around the Caribbean. In these countries, English is either the official language or a widely-used second language. Allowing for local variances from standard English including regional accents and vocabulary, people don't think of English, which they can pick up, as hardship, so they don't feel any resistance to English as the global language of business either.
To gauge how well English is understood among people in general, news reporters often cite taxi drivers. In these former British colonies, they usually understand destinations and might even be able to chit chat in English. As a matter of interest, in Singapore, where I lived for 16 years before moving to Canada 13 years ago, English was understood by all taxi drivers and shop clerks, whereas in Hong Kong, it is conventional wisdom that many taxi drivers only understand Cantonese.
Why the difference between the two former British colonies? Maybe because the former developed as a the crossroads of trade in Southeast Asia, while the latter, along with Shanghai, has long thrived as a key port city on the coast of mainland China.
There is a group of languages collectively referred to as pidgin that evolved in port cities in Asia, on the Pacific rim and elsewhere, where the locals serving and doing business with foreign merchants, seamen, sailors and so on developed a simplified form of English for basic conversation. Each of them a functioning language in its own right linguistically, a quick check reveals that varieties of pidgin number nearly 50, including Chinese-type, Japanese-type, Maori-type and even Nigerian-type. In the case of Japan, there is old pidgin, the simplified English that evolved in Yokohama and Kobe, ports that began receiving many foreign merchant ships after the Meiji Restoration. Then there is also new pigeon that evolved between the GIs who were stationed in Japan after World War II and Japanese people working in industries serving them.
One unique and fascinating pidgin is the one Hawaiians use. Its vocabulary is largely English but many words of Hawaiian, Chinese, Japanese, Tagalog and Portuguese origin are also used. It is a variant of English that evolved among immigrants from China, Japan, Portugal (mostly the Azores), the Philippines, Spain and so on, who arrived in droves during the 19th century. By the early 20th century, there was a second generation who spoke pidgin as their first language. Native Kanaka words are used for animal and plant names for instance, like ahi for tuna. The men call each other brada or bra (for brother), and they swap jokes about haole (white man) struggling with pidgin.
They also make fun of each other's racial traits all the time. It is a lively language expressing the esprit of outgoing Hawaiians.
After the war in the Pacific erupted with the Japanese Imperial Navy's attack on Pearl Harbor about 70 years ago, Japanese Canadians and Japanese Americans in North America were forcibly interned, while Nikkeijin in Hawaii were not. The latter were also given an opportunity to serve in the US Army. One of my best friends in the old days, who has since passed away, was a Japanese American from Hawaii. He used to tell me about differences between the somewhat reserved mainland Japanese Americans and the more extrovert Hawaiian Japanese Americans. Arising from their respective historical background and living environment, these differences appear in their language (English), including the use or non-use of pidgin.
Now we come to the English of the Nikkei people in Canada and the US. If I may comment based on my limited experiences and knowledge, it is as close as one can get to standard English. Having inherited a national trait of placing high value on diligence, and having had to work hard to be accepted into North American society at large after enduring the hardships and humiliation of forced internment, it is perhaps to be expected that they speak English normally. By as close as one can get, I meant, for instance, that their vocabulary would contain more Japanese words than standard English. I also wonder whether such Japanese words as gaman (endure) and shikataganai (it cannot be helped) that were oft spoken during the years of extreme hardship have been passed down to the gosei and rokusei generations.
Also, whether it is a strictly linguistic characteristic or not, the Nikkeijin compared to Americans in general, if not Canadians, seem to speak more politely. By that I mean I have never come across a Japanese Canadian or Japanese American swearing loudly and behaving boorishly in public in almost 20 years of life in North America.
After Japan, through her high economic growth period, joined the ranks of advanced nations and after the US and Canadian governments officially apologized and made some compensation in the late 1980s for their suffering in the past, Japanese North Americans have been able to live their lives without worrying too much about prejudice against Japanese culture for some time now. I wonder how many Japanese words still remain in their English, and whether new words have been adopted. There must be many readers who have first-hand knowledge.
By seizing the opportunity of this mini-trend in Japan toward the adoption of English led by the corporate sector, I wonder if it would be possible to somehow strengthen linguistic ties between the Japanese in Japan, who tend to aspire toward standard English, and Japanese Canadians, who speak standard English and also understand the sentiments and culture of Japanese people better than North Americans in general. It's just an idea, but it would be nice.

This week I want to change gears a bit and talk to you about another very powerful marketing system that is often over looked or poorly utilized by most fitness professionals. As a matter of fact, this marketing system, in my opinion, is the single most powerful client attraction tool available to personal trainers.
The reason I decided to write on this subject is because I often get emails from fitness professionals asking me for the most effective way to attract new clients.
So here it is baby!
It's not postcards.
It's not fliers or ads.
It's not press releases.
And it's not public speaking.
The king of client attraction is Email Marketing!
Were you waiting for something more profound? If so then you clearly do not understand how powerful email marketing is for your fitness business.
Email marketing is one of the most successful methods of marketing ever developed. And it's by far one of the most effective and inexpensive methods of advertising available to you.
It's so simple and yet so overlooked!
Email marketing gives you the opportunity to position yourself, gives you front of mind awareness with your clients and prospects, and keep your "list" just one click away from calling, emailing, or visiting your website for a purchase or more information. And it does all of this in a very cost effective way. And unlike running ads or sending out postcards the results don't take weeks – usually within hours you begin to see the results of your campaign.
Don't get me wrong. You should still be using offline marketing systems to attract more clients and grow your list – but email marketing is still the king of client attraction.
Recent polls show that your prospects and clients spend as much as three hours a day communicating via the web. Doesn't it just make sense to get your message and name if front of them via email?
So what's the secret to successful email marketing?
1. Be consistent. You can't just send out an email campaign every third month and hope to get client referrals and leads. Be consistent, create a schedule so that your email list will anticipate and look forward to your emails.
2. Speaking of which. You need a list. Start with the email addresses that you already have today. Create a newsletter list and add your current and past clients as well as friends and family members to the list. Then actively begin growing your list using offline and online resources.
3. Educate, inform, entertain, AND make offers. Email marketing is by far the most cost effective marketing tool you can use. That does not mean that you should send out crude offers pushing your services on a weekly basis. Make an effort to send out at least one educational and information health and fitness newsletter each month. When you give your list useful information they'll give you permission to make them offers.
Email marketing is a very personal way of communicating. It works, it gets results, it positions you, and it keeps your clients and prospects just one click away from contacting you. And did I mention that it's the most cost effective form of marketing?
Now I know what you're thinking. "Sure I want to use email marketing but I don't have the time to write, edit, and send out newsletters several times per month."
Well once gain we've got you covered! I created FitPro Newsletter just for you. This state of the art technology will automatically deliver personalized content rich newsletters to your email list twice a month on your behalf. Take a look and decide for yourself –> www.FitProNewsletter.com.

Comcast still doesn't give a f*ck.
They're still the largest Telecommunications lobbying force in D.C. to the tune of almost $17 million dollars in 2014 lobbying for Telecommunications…by way of comparison, they spent $100,000 lobbying for television.
Guess which category the Internet falls under?
Control the media, control the message.
This is happening now and you should pay attention because, if passed, this will have grave consequences on every citizen, including employees of the offenders. Literally, the only beneficiaries would be Comcast, Time Warner, etc.
Who gets up before David L. Cohen (Comcast's lobbying sleazemaster general) and pisses in his corn flakes? That man is hell-bent on destroying the one single piece of democracy we have left in the United States, the Internet.
The guy is a dick.
This is from David Segal at Demand Progress:
Dear Friend,
Comcast's war on Net Neutrality just went nuclear.
A key committee in Congress voted yesterday to attach a provision blocking Net Neutrality to a must-pass spending bill that funds the federal government.1
Their implicit threat: Give in on Net Neutrality or we'll shut down the government.
This could take the fight for Net Neutrality to a whole new level. Will you chip in $5 to make sure we have the resources to win?
Yesterday's committee vote was the first step on the path to shutting down the government to block Net Neutrality—and we need to hold every member of Congress who voted against Net Neutrally accountable.
If we can organize a backlash that's loud and clear, we can show Comcast's friends in Congress that they're not going to get away with this.
And we're already on our way. As Net Neutrality champ Rep. Jose Serrano said before yesterday's big vote, "We have received more phone calls on this issue than any other issue in a long, long time. And I don't understand why some people can't understand that net neutrality is here, it is here to stay and it is what the American people want."
Going forward, we're going to keep flooding Congress with phone calls and making sure that voters in their districts know which representatives are standing with Comcast against the free and open Internet.
We also need President Obama to stand strong. We know he was willing to go through a government shutdown to defend Obamacare. Will he fight that hard for Net Neutrality? Because that's what it might take.
We didn't know how far Comcast's friends in Congress would be willing to go to block Net Neutrality. Now we have our answer—and it's up to us to show we're up to the challenge.
Folks, you don't have to do much, just click here.

Louie Anderson (Louie Anderson)
Dreaming become as held comedian Oliver Hardy, Louie Anderson decided to build his career with his weight, that is, with the help of jokes on himself though. Significantly adding to the weight and adding to the repertoire even more caustic jokes about his already fat person, the young actor has decided to make its way to glory in every possible way, and in 1970 opened his own show called – 'The Family Feud'.
Louis was born on March 24, 1953 in the State of Minnesota, Minneapolis. The young star began the path to his career in the family, which consisted of 100 children and two adults, mum and dad. Even from an early age a sense of humor did not leave the young man and always had the way, especially in the circle of friends and relatives. Father of the comedian had big problems with alcohol and often came home in a terrible state. It was associated with the first job of Louis, he took a consultant to work with troubled children and worked there for some time before his triumph in the arena of show business.
As once. young comedian friends went to a bar in his hometown. There were performances of other stendaperov and Louis all laughed at them. Friends said that he did not get up close and no one laugh in the hall and that he should be quiet. After that, he left the stage and the audience broke. As a result of it there and was offered a job, where he worked for six months with a substantial fee for each evening performance, and being a nice guy, he entertained the audience as he could.
At the beginning of his work was directed more at the family jokes that make fun of American family values of the time, as well as the humor, which is able to reinforce the experience of working with troubled children.
He began to tour America, young talent has created an image of a fat cheerful loser, who is just trying to live like everyone else, and there is usually a standard problem in his account. Later, he even began to recruit to his show program students and other helpers.
A major impetus in career comedian was the appearance on the show in 1984, "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson in the lead role. Anderson's talent is so turned to the place that he was called for an encore, and later he became the headliner of the show and participated in the show for another three and a half years, receiving fees commensurate only with movie stars and show business. After some time, he was lucky to take part in two films Hollywood value. He starred in the film courier"Output Ferris Byulera"and a cashier in the movie"Coming to America».
Having made a name for himself and a good career, Louis decided to write a book abandoned the child and his parents. Someone found a reflection in the book himself, and whom she was surprised but not indifferent.
At the end of 2003, Louie Anderson suffered a severe heart surgery that forced him to reflect on their activities and start to live a more relaxed lifestyle. He now has several businesses and appends its third in a row a book called "My big family." Many comedians would like to be in his place and would like to carry the same kind and bright that when it came from Louis directly from the scene of his hometown. The actor also plans to star in two films, comedy content, but it is very ironic actually.
The comedian has quite a large family consisting of five children and his beautiful wife Elizabeth. Apparently a large family as a child, which somehow still managed to surround him with love and care, Louis showed his right, and certainly in the right direction in life. After all, it has become what it wanted to see my mother.

Post-Clarkson car connoisseurs are different. Tyre-smoking and gas-guzzling will pass into history along with Jeremy. Profligacy is not what it was. Even Formula 1 has fuel economy and energy conservation. Realism will get into the supercar business and Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer told Automotive News Europe plans for two new platforms, one a crossover. Aston will maybe refresh its supercar rather than replace it and use its technology link with Daimler to keep profitable.
"In the first century we went bankrupt seven times. The second century will be about making sure it doesn't happen again." The crossover, likely in 2019, was previewed at Geneva by the 4x4 DBX concept and could be built in America. Palmer was Nissan's chief planner until last September and won't lack advice on what to do next.
So, here's more. Everybody's doing crossovers; last week's Autocar was full of Range Rover lookalikes. They are flavour of the month/year/silly season. With the other platform Aston should do something else.
Nowadays the wealthy (in the real world – I'm not talking about Middle Easterners) no longer want overwhelming. They have grown up. Understatement is In. Tyre-smoking, gas-guzzling etc is Out. They prefer premium-priced things to be exquisitely engineered, in good taste, huge V8s are so-o-o last century AC Cobra antiques. Even outgoing buyers are now tinged with greenery. A touch of retro is fine. Play up classic names. BMW and Audi thrive around 2 litres and a premium small sporty car like Aston used to make would prosper. Something up-market of MX5 would do nicely.
Aston Martin came late to big V8s. It made splendid 1500s and 2litres in its heyday (above). Even the engine designed (via Lagonda) by WO Bentley was a 2½litre that got bigger. Astons were tasteful, classy. Like Frazer Nashes. A 1930s Aston Martin Ulster did about 95mph in great style. A 1950s DB2 (top) would be hard-pressed to get much past 110. It was not until the 1960s 3.6 6-cylinder DB4 that you got 140mph, then 150 from the DB4GT with 6sec or so 0-60.That wouldn't be difficult to match with a modern 2.0 turbo. Numbers would make it profitable. Unless Daimler vetoed it. Out this summer - new MX 5 (below).

Doing the good we want to do.
We can get frustrated living out our discipleship. We try everyday to do what's right and good, but we often fail because of our weakness or feeble will. St Paul, the great Apostle of the Lord, speaks to this in his epistles: "For I do not do the good I want, but I do the evil I do not want." Thankfully, he doesn't leave it there. Paul leaves us with hope when he writes, "Thanks be to God through our Lord Jesus Christ."
Paul's right when he says thanks to Jesus, because Jesus is the only one who can help. Jesus died to make us strong and His promise is to lift us when we fail or fall. Jesus fills in with His grace, His strength, and His love when we struggle to do well and simply don't succeed.
Why does Jesus do this for us? By our Baptism, Jesus is our brother who wants to help His sisters and brothers whenever He can. He realizes when we are left to our own selves, we limp along. When we hit bottom, Jesus suggests we lift our hearts to Him and ask for God's mercy. Because when we ask, Jesus arrives with the power of His Father's love to do what we are unable to do on our own.
St. Paul understands that when we stumble and make mistakes, Jesus does what mothers do when we hurt ourselves as a child. The Lord picks us up, hugs us, and assures us that we are OK. He washes us clean and sets us on the right path to start over again.
Even if we cry a little over a mistake, it's OK. The tears help us remember, even as we embrace once again our trust in Jesus' words, that He will accompany us until we are with Him for eternity.
This level of conviction allows the Holy Spirit to begin again the growth we need to become stronger and more courageous disciples by doing the good we want to do, and avoiding the evil we don't want to do. With Christ on our side, there is never a reason to give up!

On the Octave Day of Christmas, the day of the circumcision and naming of Jesus, the Church focusses her contemplative gaze on his Holy Mother Mary. Today we proclaim and celebrate our Lady's Divine Motherhood. We do so necessarily, if we would understand, enter into, participate in the mystery of Christ, and of his human birth. Today we boldly invoke, honour, address Mary as "Mother of God". This title is associated in particular with St. Cyril of Alexandria, and the 5th century Council of Ephesus. By it, all heresies are countered. That is, all attempts to rationalise away the mystery of our Faith, to dissolve the paradox, diminish the miracle, water down the life-giving power of the Good News we have received from God.
O admirabile commercium! our liturgy sings today. O wonderful exchange! The Creator of the human race, taking up a human body and soul, has deigned to be born of the Virgin. Coming forth as a man without a human father, he has bestowed on us his own divinity.
Yes: this baby whom the Angel had said must be called Jesus (Lk 1:31) - and whom he named to the Shepherds Saviour, and Christ the Lord (2:11) - he is the Eternal Son of God. He is the Divine Word who became flesh for our salvation. He is God from God, light from light, true God from true God; and Mary is his Mother.
Contemplating the Divine Motherhood of Mary, with wonder, and ever renewed astonishment, we glimpse something also of our own vocation, and the beauty and glory of our holy religion. For like Mary, with and through Mary, we also are called, graced, honoured, predestined to be God-bearers; to carry within us the Divine Word, Jesus Christ our Lord. Like Mary, with her, and through her, we are to be over-shadowed by the Holy Spirit, and filled with grace, and our lives are thereby to be made fruitful, for God's glory, and our own sanctification, and the salvation of the world.
Just in case anyone should think that today's Feast is about a dogmatic abstraction; about a truth that we assent to, but which does not touch us directly, today's Collect uses the word "sentiamus". It asks that, especially today, and through this coming year, all of us may feel, perceive, experience, be aware of Our Lady's intercession: an intercession that is personal, feminine, motherly, efficacious.
The words that qualify the address to God in today's Collect contain a paradox. Precisely our Lady's virginity, her immaculate purity, was fruitful. "O God", the Collect begins, "who bestowed on the human race the grace of eternal salvation - beatae Mariae virginitate fecunda - by the fruitful virginity of the Blessed Virgin Mary." "Fruitful virginity". But nowadays the opposite of that is everywhere accepted and even promoted in our own society: sterile unchastity, or contracepted promiscuity. This has its own bitter fruit: a host of damaged or broken lives, a continent that is slowly dying for want of children; an overt hostility towards Christianity, whose values are opposite and contrary.
Unfortunately we leave 2017 behind with the lingering bad taste of multiple accusations against members or representatives of the Catholic Church. There have been gross failures precisely in chastity; even vile crimes of abuse, which fill us with shame and confusion. We are almost led to wonder if the very credibility of the Church has been thereby compromised? But no! Thank God! It never can be. Through our Blessed Lady, says our Collect, meruimus - we have deserved, merited, been made fit, to receive the Author of life, Christ our Lord. Looking at her, then, once again, we breathe a sigh of relief. In Our Lady we have a permanent reference point and model. Type and figure of the Church, in Mary God's work of salvation has been perfectly accomplished.
And so, in order to console us, and warm the ardour of our love, and stir up our piety, and bring us into God's presence, and make our hearts sing, we have the words spoken to Our Lady by the Angel. Hail Mary! he said, and Hail Mary! we repeat, and again and again, in all circumstances whatever. Mother of the Divine life in us, our Mother in the order of grace, Mother of our salvation, Mother of God; we instinctively turn to her, or run to her, or cry out to her. May she teach us how to receive what God wants to give us, which is above all Himself. May she teach us how to pray, how to open our hearts, how to live in purity, how to love without limit.
These days of Christmas of course we think of Our Lady above all as holding her infant Son. But her Divine Motherhood did not end there. Surely when she lived in the holy house at Ephesus with St. John, the image most indelibly inscribed into her memory would have been Jesus in his Passion, and Jesus hanging dead on the Cross. And surely the reality in which she permanently then rejoiced was his Resurrection, and his life in her, and his call to join him forever in heaven when the time came. So today we ask Our Lady to draw us not only into the mystery of Christ's human birth, but also into fellowship with his sufferings. We ask her to teach us both her own horror for sin, and also how to walk in the light of Christ's victory; with her in invincible joy.
Today's Collect invites us to be bold in what we ask for. Taking up that hint, perhaps I might suggest some requests we could make for ourselves for 2018. Of course here at Pluscarden we ask our Lady especially to send us new, good, holy vocations. But beyond this, we have things to ask for ourselves as individuals. If there have been infidelities in the lives of others, and perhaps in our own lives too, this year, then we ask that through Mary's intercession, we may henceforth be always faithful. If there has been any loss of vision, or loss of confidence, or acedia within the Church, we ask that we may experience a new falling in love with God; that our own vision and hope may be renewed.
To ask even more. Since God calls us to great things, and great holiness, may we all, this year, make progress in our spiritual lives. May we shake off some of the bad habits or attachments or symptoms of petty selfishness that impede our union with God. May we grow in humility. May we experience, enter, know, this year, a closer encounter with Jesus, a deeper union with him. In expression of that, may our life of prayer also become deeper, richer, more constant; perhaps especially through fidelity to the holy rosary. And by this means, may the whole Church in our day be renewed in faith and hope and love.

One of the most famous ideas in science, this declares that it is impossible to know all the physical attributes of a quantum particle or system simultaneously.
Transcript of voice recording on IPhone belonging to Jack Callcutt, presented at the inquest of his disappearance, 14th July 2012:
Well. Here I am with the box in front of me. Oh. It's Jack Callcutt, by the way. I am about to open it, the box that is, but let me record the fun I've had the last couple of weeks.
I won this prize. It's daft really. I don't know why I went in for the competition, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. And I won. So I get to spend two thousand quid on myself on anything I like, but I mustn't have anything to show for it at the end.
Well. That means no new hi-fi or computer. No bits for the car. No trinkets for the girlfriend. Logically, I can't even have a great blow-out at the local Balti, 'cos I'll only put on weight and then definitely have something to show for it.
I asked all my mates, but I had to spend the money rather than give it all away to them, greedy lot.
My mum said to buy a farm animal for a third world village. I seriously thought about that. But it wouldn't really be for myself, and I'd get a certificate, so that wouldn't do.
It was certainly a tricky problem. So I got on the net and started putting all sorts of things in to the search box, night after night.
Then I found it. Some bloke was selling black holes. I checked him out, I even emailed some of his satisfied customers. They all said they were well pleased with their black holes, wouldn't be without them. I didn't like to ask what they did with them. I mean, they might get ticked off and I'd be getting spam for the rest of my life. But I checked out what black holes really are.
One of my old school mates was mad on physics so I got hold of him on Facebook. We had quite a hoot reminiscing old times. He's a lecturer now at one of the London colleges and he said that a black hole wasn't nothing. It was black because it's mass was so high, its gravity stopped the light escaping from it. Wow, that's heavy. That means a black hole is something I'd have to show after spending the money. It made me wonder how much postage that bloke on the net charged for his black holes.
I was getting desperate. The whole idea seemed daft. How could I spend two grand and have nothing to show for it? Perhaps it didn't really matter, I mean, the people who ran the competition weren't going to ask for the money back, I just had to tell them what I'd done, get a pat on the back, and get interviewed by the papers. All PR really.
Then one of the satisfied customers, the ones buying the black holes, emailed me about something he wanted to flog. Same sort of thing, he said, but he couldn't say what in an email 'cos there are bad people out there who look at these things. So I met him in the bar at Waterloo station on my way home tonight. We had a couple of drinks. He was buying so I didn't say no. I told him about the competition and all, and he gave me the gist of what he had to flog.
He called it quantum foam. He said it was all around us but you can't see it. He had managed to concentrate some into a small metal box with a multi dimensional field generator using hyperbolic equations or some such. I'll have to ask my mate the professor about that, certainly sounded like a load of bolicks to me. He said, as you couldn't see it or detect it with all the usual scientific stuff, it would be as though I had bought nothing.
I thought about this for a moment, over yet another drink – he was still buying – and I thought, what a scam. But, hey, I'm having a great time meeting weirdoes, what the heck. Then he said I could write him a post dated cheque and if I didn't like what was in the box, I could cancel it. Well, you can't say fairer than that. So I said, could I open the box now and he said, no 'cos it's a secret and he didn't want anyone else getting to know before he was ready to make loads of them. So we had another drink and I wrote him a cheque.
I nearly missed my station on the way home. I don't normally drink much this early in the evening, so I got a Balti round the corner to soak it up a bit and loads of black coffee. I mean, I don't want to miss anything when I open the box.
Well, I'm sober enough now. I'll put the phone down while I open the box.
Here goes. Quantum foam eat your heart out
Transcription ends.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — LeBron James needed one simple slam to hit another major milestone.
James became the youngest player to reach 25,000 career points, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers past the winless Philadelphia 76ers 107-100 on Monday night.
"It just means I've played with a lot of great teammates, a lot of great coaches," James said. "I've been around some great groups and I've been able to reap the benefits. It's a cool thing. I've got more work to do but it's pretty cool to see where you're able to kind of stop and look at it."
James had 22 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds and rallied the Cavs in the second half against a scrappy Philly team that had built a 15-point lead. James, a two-time NBA champion with the Miami Heat, and the rest of the Eastern Conference champions had enough to push back the undermanned Sixers.
James scored the milestone basket on an alley-oop dunk with 8:07 left in the fourth quarter. He became the sixth active player with 25,000 points and the 20th overall, joining Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki, San Antonio's Tim Duncan, Minnesota's Kevin Garnett, Los Angeles' Kobe Bryant and Paul Pierce of the Clippers.
James reached 25,000 career points — the dunk gave him 25,001 — at 30 years, 307 days. Bryant held the mark at 31 years, 351 days.
James' biggest feat may have been giving 18,094 76ers fans a reason to cheer, and he was rewarded with a standing ovation.
"They are Sixer fans to death. But they know and they respect the game of basketball," James said. "To get a standing ovation for reaching that milestone, it was very special."
James turned heads over the weekend when he dressed as musician Prince at a Halloween bash.
Turns out, Prince James still reigns best as a basketball King.
James scored six points in the third quarter to help the Cavaliers start their rally against the 0-3 Sixers. He made 9 of 19 shots and had four steals.
But it was the latest major achievement that stuck with James, who went from Ohio prep star to the No. 1 overall selection by Cleveland in the 2003 draft.
"I've been able to stay healthy," he said. "I've been able to play for two great organizations."
Jahlil Okafor, the No. 3 overall pick of this year's draft, fought through foul trouble and led the Sixers with 24 points. Nik Stauskas scored 15 and Nerlens Noel 14.
Okafor and Noel are the building blocks of a franchise years away from contention. Okafor and Noel, the No. 6 overall pick of the 2013 draft, gave the Sixers a peek in the first half at just good they might be one day. Noel and Okafor powered Philadelphia to a 32-18 lead after one and a 54-49 edge at the break.
Good enough for a half, just not a full game, and one more reason for coach Brett Brown to wonder when he'll see more return on their rebuilding.
"It is more difficult for me to remain positive in year three," he said.
James and Kevin Love, who scored 15, got the Cavs rolling. Cleveland made 13 of 20 shots in the third to help put the game away.
Mo Williams scored 21 points for the Cavaliers.

"Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own."
Charles Dickens
What a week it has been. Winter it seems just will not let go its hold on us. It's almost mid March and just when we think that spring might be on our doorstep, we are blasted with another hit of winter. Yesterday, it was rain, then wet, heavy snow and my children even had another "snow day" at home. With the extra rain and snow, it has meant flooding all around our town. We are all getting a little down with the weather these days and can only hope and pray for some sunshine, mild days and warm, warm weather. It doesn't help when our Kenyan son texts us from Nairobi telling us it is so, so, so, so, hot Mama. But still the fresh dusting of white covered up the muddy brown of spring's melt time.
And so we can only hope for spring by looking at our photos of our gardens in full bloom and perusing and picking our seeds and summer bulbs from the garden catalogues but when we will be able to plant, well your guess is as good as mine. So tonight with a light snow falling and mild temperatures, I'll grab a mug of tea and get back to my seed orders.

Double letter: pattern X muda'af
Weak middle letter: pattern X weak of ayn
Weak end letter : pattern X weak of lam
Double letter: pattern X muda'af
Weak middle letter: pattern X weak of ayn
Weak end letter : pattern X weak of lam
Pattern IX is used for colors and defects. Example:
اِحْمَرَّ خَالِدٌ Khaalid turned red (blushed).
اِعْوَجَّ العَصَا The stick became crooked
As for verbs with a weak middle letter (like اعوجّ ) then these are conjugated like regular pattern IX verbs. As for verbs with a weak end letter on this pattern, then I have not encountered one so far. Even though اَعْمَى is a blind person (male), I do not see in the Hans Wehr that it is conjugated in pattern IX. One could say عَمِيَ He was (or became) blind (and this is pattern I).
Likewise with the double letter verbs, I haven't encountered one that is conjugated on pattern IX yet so I do not know if these are conjugated in pattern IX or not. Though some defects do contain double letters, ex أَصَمُّ is a deaf male, however, I did not see in Hans Wehr that it is conjugated on pattern IX. One could say صَمَّ – he became (or was) deaf – and this is pattern I .
That is not to say that being blind or deaf is a defect, this is simply something that Allah has tested some individuals with. And for those who die as Muslims pleasing their Creator, then He will give them the same as everyone else who enters Paradise (including vision and hearing) in the Next Life. And it is said that the Prophet Shu'aib was blind. Also, the Companion Ibn Umm Maktoom was blind, the late scholar Abdul Azeez Bin Baz was blind and the contemporary living scholar Ubayd al Jaabiree is blind. And it is possible there were some deaf companions and scholars as well, but in my limited knowledge, I haven't run across that yet. One could ask the Scholars about that.
In Madinah Book 3, chapter 24 (which goes over pattern IX http://old.iu.edu.sa/spages/edu/syukbah/du4_9.htm ), it also includes the mubalaghah form for pattern IX which is اِحْمَارَّ، يَحْمَارُّ – these are two different patterns – one is increased by two letters (one alif and a double letter) and the other by three (two alifs and a double letter). According to the text of Binaa al-Af'aal, اِحْمَارَّ is the intensive for اِحْمَرَّ (refer to Binaa al- Af'aal for an example ). اِحْمَارَّ is conjugated the exact same way as اِحْمَرَّ (except with an extra alif after the meem in each conjugation : نَحْمَارُّ، تَحْمَارُّوْنَ، تَحْمَارِرْنَ etc),
(the first ر in تحماررن has kasrah)
How to conjugate verbs on pattern IX : pattern IX
For possible meanings of form VIII, look here
Form VIII is covered in Madinah Book 3, chapter 23
Something interesting about form VIII is that when the first letter of the root is a certain letter, then the ت in the pattern اِفْتَعَلَ changes to a different letter. Examples (taken from the above link):
|(إذا كانت فاء افْتَعَل دالاً، أو ذالاً، أو زاياً أبدلِتْ تاؤه دالاً).
|When the first root letter is ز or د or ذ then theت changes to د
|Form these 3 verbs at left on the pattern of ifta'ala keeping in mind the above rule
|(إذا كانت فاءُ افْتَعَلَ صاداً، أو ضَاداً، أو طاءً، أو ظاءً أُبْدِلَتْ تاؤه طاءً).
|When the first root letter is aص or ض or ط or ظ then the ت changes to ط
|Form these 4 verbs at left on the pattern of ifta'ala keeping in mind the above rule
|(إذا كانت فاءُ افْتَعَل واواً أُبدلَتْ تاءً)
|]When the first root letter is a و then the و itself changes to ت(so you get two taa's which looks like taa with shaddah تَّ )
|Form these 3 verbs at left on the pattern of ifta'ala keeping in mind the above rule
To see how regular verbs are conjugated on this pattern, look at this chart : pattern VIII saalim
From the meanings of form VI are:
1.The mutual participation of an action, Ex. : تَعَاوَنَ to help each other
2.Pretending, Ex. : تَنَاوَمَ to pretend to sleep
For more meanings, see the chart here
In the conjugations which have two taa's, you can drop one of the taa's ( و لا تَعَاوَنُوا "And don't help each other upon sin and transgression" 5:2 ta'aawanu, from تَتَعَاوَنُوا )

How to Make Cannabis Infused Butter
For the purpose of this recipe, I'll be using a ratio of one pound of butter to one ounce of cannabis. You can cut the cannabis in half if you would like a more mild experience, or cut the butter in half for a more intense experience.
Step 1: Grind your cannabis
First, get an ounce of weed! Hashtag has $99 ounces from Empire Cannabis that you can buy and grind yourself, or you can start with shake or trim to cut down the amount of time you spend grinding your weed. The goal is to create as much surface area as possible to ensure the maximum amount of THC is being activated.
Step 2: Prepare for decarboxylating
Decarboxylating (AKA decarbing) your cannabis is essential to making quality edibles. When heat is applied to THC-A, it converts into THC, its psychoactive form. Pre-heat your oven. I recommend decarboxylating at 220 degrees for about 50 minutes. Put down some aluminum foil on a baking sheet, and spread your cannabis on the pan.
Step 3: Decarboxylation
Once your oven is heated to the desired temperature, pop in your baking sheet with your cannabis. This will make your dwelling reek of pot. If possible, have your windows open for ventilation. When your cannabis is done decarbing, it will be in its active form and ready to be infused.
Step 4: Prep your slow-cooker
Set your Crock Pot or slow-cooker to low. Add your butter and about 2 cups of water. The amount of water doesn't have to be precise since it will be eventually separated from the butter. The water is to keep your butter from burning while infusing.
Step 5: Infusion
Once your butter has melted, stir in your cannabis. For best results, you will want to let your butter infuse with the cannabis for at least 8 hours. I personally let it infuse for 12-15 hours. Add a fresh cup of water every 4-5 hours to keep it from burning, and stir every 1-2 hours. This part will also make your entire home smell like weed.
Step 6: Straining
Once you've let your butter/cannabis mixture infuse in the slow-cooker for at least 8 hours and up to 12 or 15 hours, turn off the slow cooker to let your mixture cool for about an hour. While it is cooling, prep a bowl, strainer, and cheesecloth for straining. Once the mixture cools off enough to touch, begin pouring it through the cheesecloth and strainer. Try to avoid getting any plant material in your butter while you strain.
Step 7: Cooling
After you have strained your mixture into a bowl or other container, simply place it in the refrigerator overnight. The butter will separate and solidify on top of the water. Simply cut off the butter from the top of the container, and begin baking. Just use your infused butter however you would use normal butter.

Pray for Protection
Recent headlines have been full of warnings regarding the danger that the Zika virus to pregnant women in South America. The epicenter of the problem is NE Brazil, where our daughter Nicole Lorelei lives and serves with her husband and two sons.
She is now pregnant, and yesterday flew back to Brazil with her family. They returned to serve their team of 30 young missionaries and to launch another School of Missions for 50 students from around the world.
Nicole Lorelei and her family have been on furlough living in our home for the last couple of months. As you can imagine, for the last couple of weeks the decision about returning was a matter of much intense prayer and conferring with coworkers, mission leaders and medical professionals. In the end God clearly led them to return in spite of the risks.
Herb and Nicole Lorelei are accustomed to living with more risk than most missionaries, because they live in one of the most dangerous parts of Fortaleza, a city with one of the highest homicide rates in the world. Nonetheless, they took this decision very seriously. They plan to return to the States in a few weeks for some ministry responsibilities with Iris Ministries. Then they plan to return to live with us here in Colorado until after the baby is born in July.
In the meantime, please pray that God will protect Nicole Lorelei and the baby from both the Zika virus and the dengue virus, which are both carried by mosquitos in their area. They will be taking strong precautions to minimize exposure to mosquito bites. But ultimately they are in God's hands. So please pray.
It's interesting that this morning in my regular Bible reading the Holy Spirit pointed out Zechariah 2:5, "For I, declares the Lord, will be a wall of fire around her, and I will be the glory in her midst."
Answered Prayer: I sense God's blessing on our International Executive Team (IET) meetings so far. Yesterday I led three sessions, and in each session I sensed God enabling us to overcome hurdles to give us one heart and mind. I'm weak and recovering from a nasty cold, but He strengthened me.
Prayer Update: Please keep striving together with us in prayer, that He will give us one heart and mind with Him and with one another!

Although we do acknowledge that the municipal elections held in odd-numbered years come awfully close in many people's minds. Despite the fact that these elections determine who will run our cities and towns – and in some municipalities, who will run the local boards of education – turnout is typically very, very low. In 2013, the Raleigh municipality race had a turnout of just 15%, while the Durham city race saw turnout at just above 10%. (We're not picking on those cities; the above links show voter turnout rarely gets above 25% in these elections).
And these unimpressive numbers are for mayors and city councilor races – elected officials who have the ability to make a big impact in residents daily lives, more than many people may realize. These officials are responsible for things like: city police & fire departments; public transportation; public libraries; parks and recreation centers; zoning; affordable housing; ordinances; neighborhood renewal; street maintenance; water, sewer and waste services; public parking; economic development; and the city budget and property and sales taxes. Whether you pay attention to their debates and decisions or not (and we encourage you to do so), the policies these bodies and elected officials implement likely have an impact on the city/town residents (you) at some point.
Many times representing smaller constituencies and geographic areas than state and federal elected officials, city and town elected officials can also be more accessible. While they may hold other positions beyond their elected office (i.e. a "day job"), many of them can easily be found out and about in their communities, and there are usually regular opportunities to attend city and town council public meetings. Neighbors can come together to petition their city council on zoning or road maintenance issues, and local residents with innovative ideas can more easily pitch these ideas directly to city and town officials. The role of city and town elected officials, like that of all elected officials, is to represent the interests of their constituents. And one big way to get their attention is to vote on the issues that are important to you.
While the city of Raleigh and a few other towns have municipal elections this Tuesday, October 06 (note: we're not sure why any place has October elections when it's a still struggle to get people used to voting in an election every November, but we assume there is some historical and/or practical reason…maybe. We suppose that reason could be "to decrease the amount of voter turnout", but we will give everyone involved the benefit of the doubt that it's not). While early voting has ended for these October elections, the one advantage to low voter turnout is you will likely not have to wait in line too long to vote on election day. Make sure you are registered, and that you vote in your precinct; you can find that information under the "For Voters" section of the NC State Board of Elections website. You can also find a voting calendar, and information on current voting rules on this site. Remember – until further notice, same-day registration during early voting and "out of precinct" voting are still allowed until a federal judge says otherwise, unlike in the 2014 elections (fingers crossed, it will not be said otherwise).
For more information on candidates, early voting sites, and the election process, member Democracy NC and their partner Common Cause NC have put together very thorough and helpful voting guides for the bigger municipal elections happening this year. These are non-partisan guides, and not endorsements. These guides are fantastic – please use them and share them! Also be sure to check which other local organizations are holding candidate forums and preparing their own non-partisan voting guides (such as this one for Buncombe County). Member The League of Women Voters of North Carolina is organizing many forums, as well as updating an elections calendar that includes some of these forums. Elections are a function of the government, and while we do believe that it is the government's responsibility to make sure voters are engaged and informed about the electoral process, we are so grateful to these non-partisan, non-profit organizations who are also doing as much as they can to create an educated and engaged electorate.
In summary – Tuesday, October 06 is a municipal election for some cities and a primary election for others. Thursday, October 22 is the start of early voting for the Tuesday, November 03 general elections that take place across most of the state. Make your plan to vote, and take two, five, or ten of your friends with you. It's your vote, your voice, your election.
(This voting PSA about women and voting was made specifically for last year's election, but the spirit still applies.) See you at the polls!
Tara Romano, President, NC Women United

Based on the 1971 children's book, "The Little Broomstick" by Mary Stewart, Mary And The Witch's Flower (Mary To Majo No Hana) is the charming debut fantasy film created by Studio Ponoc in July 2017.
Studio Ponoc led by film producer Yoshiaki Nishimura is a Japanese animation studio made of Studio Ghibli veterans. They decided to establish themselves as a company upon the announcement of Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki's retirement in April 2015.
As a studio created by individuals who've worked alongside Takahata and Miyazaki, it's difficult to try and not compare Studio Ponoc's film with that of Studio Ghibli's Kiki's Delivery Service (Majo no Takkyuubin). Both films are similar in having a lead female protagonist riding on a broomstick while accompanied by a black cat. The protagonist goes on a journey that requires them to build upon their own self-confidence to overcome an obstacle.
The character designs of the protagonists are similar despite them having different hair colours. Kiki (left) having dark brown hair and Mary (right) having wild red locks. The protagonists are drawn with a soft heart shaped face and rosy cheeks.
Despite these similarities, Studio Ponoc executed the film well. Their strength definitely lies in their ability to use hand-drawn images to create smooth and fluid animation. Paired with varying camera angles and a nice musical score, the film's visuals are dynamic and entertaining to watch.
In the opening sequence of Mary And The Witch's Flower, for instance, we're introduced to a burning structure located upon an enormous tree's branch. A young red haired girl sneakily flits through the shadows to escape this place with a bag in hand, which contains seeds of a particular flower. Bounding across stones, the camera follows the girl, switching to a closer view of the character, shot slightly above her head, to a bird's eye view to reveal her path and her pursuers rushing to capture her.
The following chase scene was paired with a soft slow melody of an orchestral band that transformed into a cacophony of frantic stringed instruments. This helps emphasize the chaos on screen and the wild winds pushing the nameless redhead through the air as she dodges magical spells, before falling down into a forest.
The background art was also stunning to look at as it was detailed and realistic with textures and a nice use of lighting despite being static. The characters and the objects they interacted with were layered on top of the backdrops. At times, the backgrounds seemed like watercolour paintings made to fill the screen and seemed a tad bit unnatural during the beginning of the film.
The storyline and its progression were well-executed. I enjoyed the story, but I felt there was something missing. I felt there was a lack of emotional connection to the characters and little character development for the secondary characters.
In comparison to Studio Ghibli's films, Mary And The Witch's Flower didn't have quiet moments that are typical in Ghibli films. These moments of repose or montages allow the protagonist to self-reflect in silence or share a soft spoken monologue or conversation of little words. Instead, Mary And The Witch's Flower has a short moment that is used as a transitional point between events.
I think the film's biggest weakness lies in its characters' development other than the protagonist. It could be because of the original source that didn't focus on all the characters or the movie's length.
So, here's the start of a little mini rant:
Whenever I'm watching a show or reading a book, I'm always just as invested in the secondary characters as the protagonists. Secondary characters support the protagonist and can help them grow or regress, but their existence is important because they are there for a reason. It's just that the spotlight isn't shone on them and the story didn't assign them a greater role. But I love stories that take the time to give a bit more to these "side-characters." Even if it's a little change or development in their character that may or may not go anywhere, it's a nice reflection of the human condition that I love reading or watching.
End rant.
Being the protagonist and having the most screen-time, Mary is a spunky young girl who detests the colour of her hair. She is greatly supported by the secondary characters in the film who act as a foil to Mary's character arc or are essential to the plot's progression. Their personalities are a bit flat.
Two examples would be:
Zebedee, the gardener, is a calm, serious man of few words. His role in the grand scheme of the film was to showcase Mary's clumsiness, emphasizing the idea of how she cannot do anything right on her own. He also was used to push the plot's progression in revealing the consequence of Mary's actions.
Flanagan, the former flying broom instructor at Endor College, is loud, commanding everyone's attention when he enters a scene. His role was to introduce Mary to the magical world of Endor College and helps her out with the maintenance of her (borrowed) broom.
Flanagan's character was the most visually interesting because he's the only speaking anthropomorphic mouse. In addition, having Ewen Bremner voice Flanagan and giving him a Scottish accent was a cool choice in the English dub.
However, Peter has an interesting backstory, but it's a shame that it wasn't integrated a bit more in some way. He's a cutie pie who tries hard to do the right thing.
The villains of Mary And The Witch's Flower aren't inherently evil. Their ambition to use the power of the Witch's Flower pushed them to make a misguided decision, leading to horrible results. Their intention wasn't malicious or meant to harm others. However, their conviction opposes the morals of the heroine, making them, in my opinion, effective villains.
I did enjoy listening to Kate Winslet as Madam Mumblechook in the English dub. She brought a sweetness and strict discipline to the character and I love how she was able to switch between being an enthusiastic teacher to a powerful menacing witch, spewing threats with a smile on her face.
Writing this review of Mary And The Witch's Flower did push me to compare and contrast Studio Ghibli and Studio Ponoc with each other. It's like looking at the works of artists at different stages of their career. It seems a bit unfair given that the inherent spirit of Studio Ghibli's films isn't necessarily that of Studio Ponoc's works, even though Studio Ponoc definitely does take inspiration from Studio Ghibli.
Studio Ponoc did a solid job with Mary And The Witch's Flower and I did enjoy the film with some exceptions.

Case Consultation
HERE this NOW is more than equipped to provide consultation for your most challenging cases.
Up to this point, most approaches to addressing behavior in an IEP or 504 plan have been behavioral (e.g. ABA), cognitive (e.g. "growth mind-set"), or cognitive/behavioral in approach and primarily focused on increasing student compliance. However, trauma is often best addressed at the somatic level.
IEP's and 504 plans that address difficult behaviors that result from trauma should focus on self-regulation and environmental design that connotes safety in the body. Self-regulation begins with quieting the primitive part of the brain through "bottom up" strategies and providing cues of safety in the environment and relationships surrounding the student.
"Bottom-up" intervention design involves body-based approaches suited to the individual needs of the student. "Bottom-up" intervention intentionally quiets the primitive part of the brain (fight, flight, or freeze) and builds connection to higher parts of the brain (e.g. neo cortex) responsible for rational/reasonable behavior and higher order thinking.
Rhythmic and organized movement, mindfulness, meditation, resistance work, yoga, Somatic Experiencing,™ rhythmic music, drama, breath work, play, touch, use of sensory tools, occupational therapy exercises, are just a few examples of "bottom-up" intervention design.
