Thad's House Is Back
Thaddeus Stevens's House as it now appears.
The white building is Stevens's house before the restoration.
Thad's House Is Back
The restoration of the façade of Thaddeus Stevens's house in Lancaster has
been completed and for the first time in several decades there is an accurate
representation of where the Great Commoner lived.
The Society owes a great debt of gratitude to the Historic Preservation Trust of
Lancaster County for its untiring efforts over the last 10 years to preserve the house.
To celebrate this milestone, the Trust held an unveiling ceremony on October 4 at the
site's location of 45-47 South Queen Street.
While this is a great accomplishment, there have been some setbacks. Because of
fundraising problems, the Stevens-Smith project office had to be closed and the overall
effort has been scaled back from $20 million to $13 million. But the Trust remains
dedicated to the project, which will include museum space to tell about Stevens's
important legacy to our country.

Why Paul Did Not Let People's Sentiments Determine His Direction
Contributed by Paul Fritz on Jun 11, 2001 (message contributor)
Summary: Paul shows us how to avoid allowing peoples' sentiments deter us from following God's will
Why Paul Did Not Let People's Sentiments Determine His Direction
Quote:Sometimes the Lord calms the storm. Sometimes he lets the storm rage and calms his child.
Illustration:Louis Pasteur is reported to have had such an irrational fear of dirt and infection he refused to shake hands. President and Mrs. Benjamin Harrison were so intimidated by the newfangled electricity installed in the White House they didn't dare touch the switches. If there were no servants around to turn off the lights when the Harrisons went to bed, they slept with them on.
Jane Goodsell, Not a Good Word About Anybody, Ballantine.
1. Why do think Paul chose to reject the warnings about going to Jerusalem? We live in an age when we are encouraged not to offend anyone.
Many people are led more by public sentiments, polls and media pressure than by anything else.
In this passage we learn that Godly brothers, with the gifts of prophecy, tried to dissuade Paul from entering in to Jerusalem. Dr. Luke even uses the phrase, "Prompted by the Holy Spirit, they kept telling Paul not to go to Jerusalem." (Acts 21:4)
However, with confident determination, Paul replied, "Why are you breaking my heart? I hold myself in readiness not only to be arrested and bound and imprisoned at Jerusalem but also (even) to die for the name of the Lord Jesus." (Acts 21:13)
Ask the Lord to help you follow the good example of Paul who was willing to sacrifice everything for who he believed.
Quote:Keep your fears to yourself; share your courage with others.
Robert Louis Stevenson.
2. When the Godly brothers saw Paul's determination they consented to the will of God. Be strong in your determination to do whatever God directs you to do. Occasionally, the Godly will come to realize that your decisions are in alignment with the will of God.
Ask the Lord to help you not buckle under the pressure of subjective sentiment, social pressure or public approval ratings. The crowds do not have to pay the penalty when you fail to do the will of God.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University reported that 30 years ago, the greatest fears of grade school children were:
1) Animals,
2) Being in a dark room,
3) High places,
4) Strangers,
5) Loud noises.
Today, kids are afraid of the following:
1) Divorce,
2) Nuclear war,
3) Cancer,
4) Pollution,
5) Being mugged.
Back to the Bible Today, Summer, 1990, p. 5.
3. Paul did not allow other people's agendas to determine God's will for his life. The Holy Spirit that lives within you can best direct you in God's will. The great apostle was able to say, "Herein do I exercise myself to have a conscience void of offense toward God and men." (Acts 20:24)
Remember that your conscience must be right with God before it can be at ease with people.
Trust the Lord to help you resist the social pressures to settle for nothing less than God's best.
Peladophobia: fear of baldness and bald people. Aerophobia: fear of drafts. Porphyrophobia: fear of the color purple. Chaetophobia: fear of hairy people. Levophobia: fear of objects on the left side of the body. Dextrophobia: fear of objects on the right side of the body. Auroraphobia: fear of the northern lights. Calyprophobia: fear of obscure meanings. Thalassophobia: fear of being seated. Stabisbasiphobia: fear of standing and walking. Odontophobia: fear of teeth. Graphophobia: fear of writing in public. Phobophobia: fear of being afraid.
Fraser Kent, Nothing to Fear, , Doubleday & Company, 1977.
4. Paul knew that he did not want to set a precedent for listening to people's fears instead of his faith. Paul expressed a willingness to face his fears through the power of the Spirit.
The great apostle feared the consequences of failing to obey God more than he feared men.
Ask God to help you follow your faith not fears.
5. Paul determined in his mind what God wanted him to do and refused to be dissuaded.
Many people suffer because they do not have clear goals to follow.
Ask the Lord to help you set clear goals and determine to not get detoured.
6. Paul knew that human emotions deter us from what is the best.
Too often people are gradually led to a life of mediocrity because they follow their emotions.
Ask the Lord to help you be more objective and less subjective in your decision-making – just like Paul.
Illustration:I am inwardly fashioned for faith, not for fear. Fear is not my native land; faith is. I am so made that worry and anxiety are sand in the machinery of life; faith is the oil. I live better by faith and confidence than by fear, doubt and anxiety. In anxiety and worry, my being is gasping for breath--these are not my native air. But in faith and confidence, I breathe freely--these are my native air. A John Hopkins University doctor says, "We do not know why it is that worriers die sooner than the non-worriers, but that is a fact."

Graphic novels are often mistaken for a comic book. However, that is far from the truth. A graphic novel is a great way to get reluctant readers to read popular books. You see Lightning Thief and Red Pyramid pictured here. These are two of Rick Riordan's popular books with my fifth grade students. The graphic novel is a great stepping stone book for students who are interested in reading the novel – but maybe the novel is a bit intimidating, or even a bit challenging. The graphic novel gives readers plenty of pictures which aid in telling the story. The vocabulary and content of the story is just as rich, but is presented in a 'reluctant-reader-friendly' format.
Title: A Wrinkle in Time
Author: Madeleine L'Engle/Adapted and Illustrated by: Hope Larson
Rating: 10/10
A story that tells the time travel of of three children to rescue their father from a secret mission, the children are helped by three ladies, Mrs. Who, Mrs. Whatsit, and Mrs. Which. The graphic novel tells the otherwise complicated and confusing story in an illustrated version for readers to enjoy and travel through time with the students.
Title: Stick Dog
Author: Tom Watson
Rating: 7/10
The narrator tells this story through the eyes of four dogs. The main dog is Stick Dog. Stick Dog and his friends are alone outside and hungry. The narrator tells their journey through the park and a family picnic to find some delicious hamburgers.
This book reminds me of My Life as a Book. This would be a good book to bridge readers from Diary of a Wimpy Kid type stories to a real novel.
One of the best ways to help support your child in reading is to read aloud to them – share a story. World Read Aloud Day is March 6, 2013. On this day read a story with your child, have them read a story to you, take turns reading a book to each other. This could be the perfect way to head to bed – with a story! As we do every day in class, I will read our class read aloud to the students.
After you read aloud with your child (or students, your parents or siblings) comment on this post and share what you read together. I would love to hear the books that were shared!

Christmas Eve was a relaxed day around the house. We made an apple pie for us and oatmeal cookies for Santa and had a "fancy" dinner in the dining room. Leo amazed us by taking about eight unassisted steps out of nowhere! He had been taking a step or two or three and walking with strollers or walkers, but we had a little moment with him doing so much on his own.
Here he is walking Olivia's baby stroller. He isn't picky. He'll use anything with wheels, and he is good about turning it around and getting it unstuck!
Leo's favorite spot in the house continues to be the dishwasher!

After our "fancy" dinner, Olivia wanted to use the good plates to leave Santa's cookies. And she wanted to leave him some hot tea, too, in case he was cold! Totally her idea!

Christopher Danielson has been a reader of this blog since the beginning. He started the Talking Math with Your Kids blog where he discusses how he and his young children talk about math. We follow each other on Twitter where he virtually introduced me to Casey Rutherford. Inspired by Talking Math with Your Kids, Casey started the hashtag "#dswyk" which stands for "doing science with your kid(s)," and I promptly joined the #dswyk party. A few days/weeks (I'm oblivious to time at this point in my life, thanks to Miss Baby J) later, he created a blog: Doing Science with Your Kids, and now I'm a contributor.
My first entry is a lesson on sink or float led by my 5-year old boy, J. Does a Duplo sink or float? The answer might surprise you. Click on over to check it out!

Costume Ideas
The first thing I did was poll my students. I told them I have fair to midldlin' sewing skills, and I want something I can make rather than purchase. "What should I be for Halloween?"
"A color crayon."
"An M&M" Many of my students are single moms, and simplicity is a priority. I imagine their kids have lots of solid-color sweatsuits upon which black construction paper is taped.
"A drunk hobo" (which made me snort, actually)
A young woman, recently here from Somalia, said "A pregnant nun." I didn't even ask.
Finally, one of them spoke up and said "Can we think about this and get back to you?" I realized I was keeping them longer than they'd hoped just before a long weekend. Oops. So if they come up with anything fascinating, I'll be sure to report back.
But I thought I'd ask your advice. What should I be? I've sewn prom-dress level projects (with piping! though I never want to do piping again...) so I can handle whatever you propose, pretty much. It can't be too risque, though: I taught as a saloon girl one year, and was more than disconcerted by catcalls from students. Too creepy to even be flattering. So, you know. Be reasonable. Oh, and I need to be able to work in it. So a hibernating bear, while tempting, won't work out.
Thanks, internets! I just know you'll come up with something brilliant.

Hm...I love a challenge. Give me a day or two to mull it over.
Avery is going as a monkey (Thank you Old Navy for your warm fleece costumes priced very reasonably!). The costume has a banana sewn into a pocket. While Matt and I were at Target the other day we strolled through the Halloween section. There is an adult-sized banana suit! The mental picture of my husband dressed like a gigantic banana put me into hysterics right there in Target.
I'm still trying to convince him he needs to dress up to take Avery trick-or-treating.
- Jennifer said...
Matt MUST be a banana. Then again, so should you. It would make a fine Christmas photo, too, I reckon.
Anxiously awaiting your inspiring discussions.

Ok. I've had some time to think. Given your profession, my mind went to literary character costume possibilities. Here are my suggestions:
1. Fern from "Charlotte's Web" - you could dress in overalls, wear your hair in pig tails, and carry a stuffed pig. (Plus I'm guessing V might be a fan of this one.)
2. Charlotte Bronte or Elizabeth Barrett Browning (some of your students may not get it, however. But maybe you could do a class and feature one of their works?)
3. Agatha Christie (I just think it'd be fun to say her name all day...not sure how you'd dress or really pull this one off.)
Obviously the next suggestions aren't literary characters/authors...
4. Julia Child (It could be so much fun acting like this crazy lady!)
5. Betsy Ross (All you'd have to do is wear a nice classic frock and carry a flag!)
6. Clara Barton
7. Maria Montessori (This one would be tough, but fun and meaningful!)
8. Elizabeth Taylor (I know...after the rest of my suggestions this one is a little strange. But think about it; you could dress in some outlandish dress, tease your hair, and wear lots of fake jewels!)
9. Mae West (slightly risque, but not exactly over the top. Plus, there are lots of awesome quotes floating around...you could really get into this one!)
10. Sally Ride (have fun making an astronaut costume!)
I'm spent. Hopefully this at least gives you some ideas! My personal favorites: Fern, Julia Child, and Elizabeth Taylor.
I almost always go as the Cat in the Hat. I've done it for years. Easy, fun. Although an astonishing number of people call me "Dr. Seuss." It is a very practical costume for working in, however, I once did a full day of farm harvesting dressed that way. And coffee roasting. And sales. Oh, I have used that too many years. Anyway, moving on.
Anyway, last year I tried to get Phil to be Freddie Mac and I was going to be Fannie Mae. It still makes me laugh to think of it.
A friend once bought a cuban cigar and went as Castro.
Oh, this is totally not what you're looking for.
but this might be:
So, it's almost halloween. But I thought you might like this:

The world's oldest fossil of a giant flying reptile, originally found in Hastings, has been found on the Isle of Wight.
Fossil enthusiast Will Thurbin found the part of a coloborhynchus – a type of pterosaur – which is believed to be 125 million years old.
The prehistoric snout was confirmed after Mr Thurbin took his find to staff at the Dinosaur Isle Museum in Sandown.
Working with Dr Dave Martill from the University of Portsmouth, paleontologists were able to identify the fossil from the cretaceous period.
The fossil was then donated to the museum by Mr Thurbin, who is from Niton on the Isle of Wight.
"I decided to take it home and have a good look and could see that it was a bone and that there were some teeth in it," Mr Thurbin said.
"I decided to take it to Dinosaur Isle to see if they knew what it was and it is great they have since confirmed it as a new type of fossil for the island."
Isle of Wight council executive member for economy and tourism Shirley Smart said the find affirms the importance of dinosaur fossil enthusiasts in assisting in our understanding of dinosaurs.
"Without the dedication of people such as Will, Dinosaur Isle Museum would not have many of the fossils in the collections that it does," she said.
"It also helps experts gain a better understanding of what these huge creatures were like."

This applies for several kind of items,if it be devices,clothing, or some other items. Anybody needs to achieve extra information about a specific item before they go on to fund it. same task appropriate for on line product reviews are the most effective software that on the web customers can use to simply help them out in finding the best item out there.
When you yourself have tried on the web looking before, you probably have noticed a celebrity ranking presented close to each item when you are searching through your possible options. While not totally all on line shops present that feature, a lot of them do and you have to make the most of this stoner clothing. Generally, those ratings offer direct connect to on the web product reviews as you are able to study to gather information about an item and learn what others'opinion of the item is.
Although these reviews provide valuable information regarding a certain product, you must not get 100 percent of the info since it is. All of the opinions prepared for items discovered on line are genuine, such they are published by market professionals who have tested the item or people who bought and have attempted it. You need to be cautious about phony evaluations however that were published with solution promotion as its hidden agenda. These kind of reviews offer positive analysis of the website and function to shadow the bad functions just to tell buyers to purchase it. It is therefore essential to have idea of what to look for in certain item before going out to complete your on the web shopping.
Even though they are of help, celebrity reviews located alongside the item do not provide anything. You can be more confident with reviews written by true people or people of the product. It can provide an even more reasonable and successful insight into the product, specially problems concerning consumer functionality. Going back once again to the above statement, understanding what your requirements are and particular faculties you want, reviews you read can potentially influence your getting data based on your getting things and intended use. You've to admit it; item explanations offered in online shops do not present significantly, so these online product reviews should really be produced to the fullest.
To conclude, on line product critiques allow the consumer to recognize the benefits and negatives of shopping for a certain product. Thus, many online suppliers have invested on the business of writing reviews understanding how much it affects the getting decision of specific individuals. Indeed, they dual as a promotional or advertising technique understanding that people rely on the validity of data presented to ensure they've made a great choice.

Last year, when Missouri was a candidate to move from the Big 12 to the Big Ten, part of the appeal was a richer television contract. At the time, Missouri�s slice of the Big 12�s TV pie averaged about $9 million per year, while every Big Ten school received about $21 million.
The invitation from the Big Ten never arrived, but a bigger paycheck is in the mail.
With the departure of Nebraska and Colorado, the Big 12 money is split 10 ways, and those shares grew in April when the Big 12 signed a 13-year cable contract with Fox worth about $90 million per year � quadruple the value of the previous deal. Combined with the existing network contract with ABC/ESPN, Missouri officials anticipate receiving approximately $13 million in TV money annually.
A year after running a deficit budget and tottering on the edge of homelessness, the MU athletic department is back on solid footing.
�I don�t know how you describe it other than going from tremendous uncertainty and a lot of anxiety to a point of a lot of confidence,� Missouri Athletic Director Mike Alden said.
The sweetened TV deal wasn�t just a Big 12 phenomenon. The Pac-12 quadrupled the value of its previous deal, signing a pact with unlikely allies Fox and ESPN that will pay each school more than $20 million per year.
Even though the economy is still staggering and funding for higher education is decreasing, college athletics � or at least big-time college football � is still a money-making machine.
The increased value of TV contracts can be pegged to two key factors: competition for the rights and DVRs.
The Big 12, for instance, has separate network and cable television deals. The network deal is with ABC/ESPN, and the cable deal is with Fox. When it was time to renegotiate the cable deal, ESPN made a play for the contract, but Fox won out.
The bidding war was even more fierce for the Pac-12 � formerly the Pac-10, but renamed after the addition of Colorado and Utah. Comcast, which owns NBC, offered the conference a deal worth $235 million, according to the Sports Business Journal. Unable to match that individually but eager to keep Comcast off their turf, ESPN and Fox joined forces on the $250 million winning bid.
�There�s just a dearth of valuable live sports programming in the market, and there is an oversupply of interested bidders,� said Chris Bevilacqua, who worked as a consultant for the Pac-12 on its TV deal. �Now, with some of those bidders being bigger and more powerful than they were in the last cycle, mainly because of what�s going on in the competitive front � NBC was bought by Comcast and other consolidation going on in the media business � you�ve got fewer choices but far more powerful choices.
�Everybody recognizes on a quantitative basis that live sports, and particularly college sports, is just a great buy right now. It�s a buy stock. You put the two of those together and you have a recipe for some stunning outcomes, not the least of which was the recent Pac-12 deal, and to a lesser degree, the Big 12 deal.�
TV networks appreciate sporting events because viewers usually watch them live rather than taping them and fast-forwarding through the commercials.
�General-entertainment shows are shows you can DVR, and people aren�t watching them and they�re not picking up ratings,� said John Ourand, who covers the media for the Sports Business Journal. �They�re just not drawing the audiences that live sports have been drawing. What this is about is advertisers, and advertisers are chasing viewers, and with the sports, with the Big 12 Conference or the Pac-10 Conference, there aren�t many fluctuations. It�s a pretty safe bet for advertisers. You know what you�re going to get ratings-wise.�
According to the Sports Business Journal, the Big Ten ($252 million) and Pac-12 ($250 million) have the richest annual TV deals, followed by the Southeastern Conference ($205 million), the Atlantic Coast Conference ($155 million) and the Big 12 ($150 million). The Big 12 pie is divided 10 ways, though, as opposed to 12 for the Big Ten, Pac-12, SEC and ACC. The Big East ($36 million) is way behind the other BCS conferences in TV money, but it is the next to negotiate in 2013.
You might wonder why Missouri officials estimate their share of $150 million to be $13 million this year. MU associate athletic director Tim Hickman said it�s because the $150 million figure is an average of the entire contract and the value is lower in the early years. Also, some of the money is deducted by the league for operating costs and participation subsidies for schools participating in Big 12 championships.
And the Big 12 doesn�t split the entire pot of revenue equally � it depends on the number of football network TV appearances, and MU officials are guessing conservatively about how often the Tigers will appear.
There is still a sizable gap between the revenue of the Big 12 and the Big Ten, Pac-12 and SEC. But the Big 12 is due for another bump when its network deal � currently valued at $60 million � expires in 2016. The unknown for the Big 12 is whether the market will be as hot in five years as it is now.
�A lot of network executives believe college sports in particular were severely undervalued,� Ourand said. �What you�re seeing now feels like a bubble and looks like a bubble, but they believe it�s more of a market correction than a bubble.�
Alden thinks it is realistic that the Big 12�s network deal will double, which would put Missouri at about $19 million in annual TV revenue in five years. To put that in context, MU�s entire athletic budget was $13.7 million when Alden took over in 1998.
�I think you�ll see our numbers jump dramatically again,� he said. �It gives us another bite of the apple.�
So if Missouri and its Big 12 cohorts have at least $4 million more than last year, how will that money be spent? The answer to that question is prefaced with a long list of disclaimers. It is not in the best interest of athletic officials who are about to embark on a fundraising campaign to announce they are flush with cash.
The first step is to get back to the break-even point. Hickman said that in the 2010-11 fiscal year, the MU athletic department had a $1.4 million deficit, which was offset with money from its reserve fund. Alden said the elimination of the neutral-site football game with Illinois will cost the department $1 million annually. And the university�s increases in tuition and fees will increase the cost of scholarships.
�All of those things combined, it gets eaten up pretty quick,� Hickman said.
Still, the current increase and the promise of another boost in five years has positioned Missouri to shift from the survival mode of last June to a more aggressive strategy. One priority for Alden is to build MU�s scholarship endowments, which he estimated at about $24 million. The interest on that money pays for scholarships in perpetuity.
Alden said another focus is �we want to make sure Mizzou doesn't stand pat� with its facilities.
�We actually put a guy on retainer that we call our master planner,� Hickman said. �He�ll work with us the next five years to develop an initial plan. �Here�s where we�re at right now. Here�s what we need.� Then we'll map out some opportunities for the future, and we�ll revisit that annually with him. We�ll continue to make it a living, breathing document.
�We want to identify real needs from a recruiting standpoint, space standpoint and their ability to make their teams and their programs better. So that�s kind of what we try to focus on, not that we�re going to have $50 million and what can we build for $50 million.�
Among the improvements Alden mentioned were outdoor tennis courts, an indoor golf practice facility and upgrades to the baseball and softball stadiums. The most notable, though, is a potential addition to Memorial Stadium. The demand for premium indoor seats � luxury suites and especially club seats � exceeds the supply, so MU officials are considering adding a structure atop the east side of the stadium that would have additional boxes.
�I don�t know if we need a lot more seats, but we have had some discussions about some additional premium type seats � whether it be suites or clubs or loge boxes or things like that,� Hickman said. �That will probably come into the discussion more than saying, �We need 80,000 seats.� I don�t think that�s where we�re at.�
All of the so-called �Forgotten Five� Big 12 schools � Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State and Missouri � who were on the verge of being left without a conference last June have reason to reinvest in themselves. Texas or Oklahoma would have been fine wherever they landed, but the outlook was bleak elsewhere. But now, Kansas State is moving forward with a $1.5-2 million indoor rowing facility, according to Athletic Director John Currie.
Iowa State AD Jamie Pollard, who said his athletic department just lost $3� million in state funding and would have considered eliminating sports if not for the new TV deal, is now in the middle of a construction spree. A new $5 million video board and sound system is going up in Jack Trice Stadium, and a $13 million track/softball/soccer complex is being constructed.
�From our institution�s perspective, the TV money has allowed us to think strategically. We�re investing it in several major facilities projects,� Pollard said, conducting a phone interview while he drove to a Board of Regents meeting to gain approval for a new 60,000 square-foot football training complex that will be attached to the indoor practice facility. �We�ve been planning for this for the last year, and now that the contract�s signed and done and we know how we�re going to distribute it, we can move forward.
�We made the strategic decision that we�re getting a second chance in the Big 12, and we�ve got to take advantage of this opportunity.�

In the United States this is Labor Day, since 1894 a national holiday that celebrates working peoples' contributions to the nation. Although the calendar says that summer doesn't end until September 22 this year, many Americans and our close neighbors in Canada consider that Labor Day, or Labour Day, marks the close of the season. This three-day weekend, they pile into their automobiles. Now that regular gasoline averages around $2.20 per gallon, motor trips are considerably less of a pain in the wallet than they were as recently as 2012, when gasoline hovered well above four dollars. Americans range through the land to camp out, have picnics, visit lakes and ocean beaches, get sunburned and watch fireworks. This being an election year, some in search of enlightenment or entertainment go to rallies and listen to candidates. It is also a day when many working people go to work because the stores that employ them have huge Labor Day sales. The irony.
There is no official song for this holiday, although Pete Seeger's "Solidarity Forever," Tennessee Ernie Ford's "Sixteen Tons" and Dolly Parton's "9 To 5" always get Labor Day airplay. From 1962—when the average price of a gallon of regular gas was 31 cents—here is the unofficial Rifftides Labor Day song. Cannonball Adderley introduces it. His sextet has Nat Adderley, Joe Zawinul, Yusef Lateef, Louis Hayes and Sam Jones.
Happy Labor Day. Try not to get sunburned.

I've stumbled upon an interesting issue that nicely illustrates how the Composite UI Application Block requires you to change the way you think. It would seem a logical procedure to create your SmartPart control first (call WorkItem.Items.AddNew to do it) then add it to a workspace. But what if your control contains an embedded workspace by the same name? You'll get a circular reference exception ("A circular control reference has been made. A control cannot be owned by or parented to itself.") This is because CAB completely ignores the control hierarchy and has its own system of tracking components. When you add a SmartPart control to the WorkItem, all of its child SmartParts also get registered with the WorkItem, regardless of the fact that your SmartPart hasn't been added to the container control. So when you look for a workspace in the WorkItem, CAB will also detect workspaces inside the SmartPart.
Yeah, but what happens if you use the dependency injection instead of the AddNew method to create your SmartPart? You'd probably be stuck...

A Brit by birth, but with a heart belonging to Africa… That in a nutshell sums up the 28 year old Sam Ryan. Earlier in the year Sam attended an EcoTraining 55 day Level One Field Guide course at our wilderness camp in Makuleke in the Kruger National Park and another camp in Pongola in KwaZulu-Natal. He describes it as an adventure of a lifetime, beyond his wildest dreams.
He diligently kept a diary of his experiences with his fellow students. After a break in the musings last week, the read is now continuing…
I woke up to Louise playing a funky rhythm on the drum as per request by Stuart. Then got up, had tea and packed a bag for a drive to the Sandveld to start our module on grasses, as boring as it sounds, it was not too bad, some interesting stuff to learn.
Towards the end of the lesson, we decided we should go and try to find rhino. We drove down a very long sand road looking for the beasts but with no luck. Then the decision was made to go to a lookout point, Lanner Gorge. And only one word describes that view – exhilarating! It was one of the most unbelievable views I have ever seen. We stayed there for about half an hour and then headed back towards camp. On route we got caught in the first rain of the day, but in this heat you dry out quick-quick.
For the afternoon activity, the plan was to drive down Middle road and right down San-pad to the flood plain and go for a walk in the fever tree forest which was really cool, nice to get legs working again. Mark (instructor) tried to persuade a baboon spider out of its den and we came across a tree which had been eaten inside so was hollow most of the way up the tree. We headed back to the vehicle and drove down to the Likimbi/Limpopo look out to see the sun go down which was stunning.
I decided to head to bed early as I wanted a good night's sleep, the 04:30 starts are starting to hurt... As I was walking back to my tent I heard an elephant not 50m away, so I got the torch out but could not see anything, so went inside. And then a quick hyena call to finish the night off!
The day began sluggishly for me, got up a little late and headed off to go for a walk. Was then told that the walk had been cancelled due to lack of people waking up and getting ready. I decided I would spend a few hours revising and getting ready for the first test of the course.
I spent all the time with Stuart and studied all stuff we had covered in the previous 15 day. At around 9:00 we were given the test and got on with it. I knew most of it and managed to complete it in time, even though I got stuck on a few questions but eventually managed to work them out.
After everyone finished, we went back to mark the test. It was out of 75, I managed to get 56 and it turned out to be joined highest in the class which I was so chuffed about. It worked out to 75% which is a pass on the FGASA standards, which was great!
We were allowed to sleep in today and only got up at 06:00… We only did the outskirts of camp and did a few tracks and bits and pieces, halfway round we saw a baby Mozambique spitting cobra which was cool, even hooded for us.
The afternoon activity was a game drive. We headed out and decided to go and look at the Limpopo river, we drove across the flood plains and into the fever tree forest. As we got halfway down the road we saw a fever tree had fallen over and has blocked the road, so while Mark and Skigh were looking for a new road around Mussa jumped up on the tree and started hacking away at it with the panga, we spend 1 hour clearing the tree branch by branch. We eventually managed to get it clear and continued on our road, but the bush got so thick we had to turn around. We continued back on the route we had just been down and finally made our way out of the forest.
It was starting to get really dark so Skigh was on the tracker seat and was shining the spotlight. As we turned at Maqueba windmill I saw something run in front of the vehicle. It took me a few seconds and a bit of a stutter to get it out but a LEOPARD had just walked in front of us and into the bush next to the vehicle!
We braked and reversed and managed to see it for a few seconds before it disappeared again. We found it again going down the road we had just been on across the flood plain, we continued to stay on it and followed it to the water where it lay down and drank. It then walked off into the reeds of the flood plains where we lost it.
It was amazing, and one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life that I will never forget! My mouth was dry as it was open the whole time. We all headed back to the camp all so excited about what we had just seen!

I loved it! I grew so much in that time. We saw our prayers answered and felt the encouragement and support of one another too, as each trial came and went. I loved our ladies meeting leader. I still think of her fondly. Sadly, she doesn't do her bible study anymore.
But ever since leaving her group I have always dreamed about one day starting my own group of ladies. Meeting in my home, learning about the word, digging deeper, being accountable and available to one another, and growing in faith and fellowship.
As time went by, I joined one, and then another... I always left. There were a few
- I was comparing them all to the group I loved
- I didn't like the format
- I didn't want to commit because of all the stuff going on in my life
- We did go through a season where I really just did not want to share my life and knew if I went to any group I would melt into a puddle amongst strangers and who could one trust was a big issue at that time for me
- I never had enough time to make it
- I always had something else that needed to be done, etc etc!
About two years ago I joined a lovely ladies group. I really enjoyed the ladies I met there. I knew none of them and as we were not based in a church at that time, connecting with them led us to their church. We ultimately did not end up in that church but that ladies meeting made me hungry to start my own again. But, alas, I had many
Well, its the beginning of a new year and I'm itching to join a ladies group. My friend told me about one she heard of and I contacted them. The lady there told me that they were full and I should consider starting my own. Um, "well, I might just do that," I thought! Come the weekend, my friend asks if I connected with the ladies group and I told her of the response and hers is "Wonderful, what are you waiting for?" Hmmm, yes, what indeed?!
And then roll on the next day, starting with tea and a quiet time. This scripture comes up in my next chapter to read: 2 Corinth 8 vs 10-11: And in this I give advice: It is to your advantage not only to be doing what you began and were desiring to do a year ago; (11) but now you also must complete the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to desire it, so there also may be a completion out of what you have.
So, I am thinking that the Lord is giving me just a tiny bit of confirmation here 😊.
Suffice it to say, I am going to be starting my own Ladies group. We will meet once a week in the mornings and we will drink tea and coffee (and eat cake if we are lucky), and we will dig deeper into the word, we will encourage and pray for one another, and grow spiritually in the Lord!
Psalm 37 v 4: Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
The most amazing thing is, I have absolutely no doubts, and no fears about this. No
What is the dream God has placed in your heart?
God bless
My "ABIDE" scripture for this post is:
Prov 16 v 3: Commit your works to the Lord, And your thoughts will be established.

24th June The Birthday of Saint John the Baptist
Tuesday 24 Jun 2014 06:04 AM | Art and Prayer | Permalink
'Apart from Mary and Joseph, John the Baptist is the only saint in the calendar who has two feasts to himself. One, in August, celebrates his death, and one, in June, celebrates his birth. And this is as it should be, for as Christ himself said, John was the greatest of the sons of men.
The greatest, but also the most tragic. A prophet from before his birth, leaping in the womb to announce the coming of the incarnate God, his task was to proclaim the fulfilment of all prophecies – and thus his own obsolescence. And he did it: with unequalled courage he spread the news that he, the greatest of all men, was the least in the kingdom of heaven. His disciples, and the devil, would have preferred him to fight, to build his sect, to defeat this upstart whom he himself had baptized, to seize his place in history. But he did not – and so, rightly, he has his place, and he has glory in heaven.' from www.universalis.com

What Welding Does to Aluminum
This is an issue that architects, engineers and contractors need to look out for. Welding aluminum may create issues that do not get much attention for steel: the effect of the welds on the strength of the base metal. Welding significantly reduces the strength of the aluminum base metal. Reason being, the heat created by welding reduces the yield and ultimate strength of aluminum alloys that get their strength from various heat-temper treatments. Reductions in strength may exceed 50-60%. In a nutshell, if you weld aluminum improperly, you risk significantly reducing the strength of the welded member. Building officials and inspectors are aware of this and you run the risk of them red tagging your project. Therefore, structural calculations by a registered Professional Engineer or a Product Approval are a must.

New Delhi: The trial run of the Delhi government's ambitious odd-even scheme ended on Friday with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal hailing the experiment as "a big success" and saying it would be back in an "improved form".
"Proud of u Delhi. U give me confidence 'Together, we can achieve anything'. 1st phase of Odd Even ends today. Will do again in improved form," the CM tweeted.
And just hours before the unique January 1-15 scheme ended amid conflicting claims, Kejriwal urged Delhiites to continue it voluntarily "if you can".
"The improved version would include pruning the list of exemptions and adding more buses, transport minister Gopal Rai told a news Channel,
However, the Delhi government officials said there were no immediate plans to bring the road-rationing experiment back.
Air pollution declined by 20-25 percent in the capital during the January 1-15 period, Delhi Transport Minister Gopal Rai said.
He said air samples collected by around 20 mobile teams of the Delhi Pollution Control Committee from different locations showed that pollution levels in inner Delhi areas had gone down.
"In inner Delhi, the average PM 2.5 level was around 300 micrograms/m3. However, it remained around 400 micrograms/m3 in border areas," he added.
The odd-even scheme was application on all days except Sundays, and was in operation from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Monday to Saturday.
Several categories were exempt from the scheme including a string of VIPs, women drivers, emergency services and CNG-operated transport.
Police admit there were far fewer violations of the odd-even plan than most people had expected. A total of 9,151 challans were issued to erring motorists -- a small number compared to Delhi's vehicular population.
Chief Minister Kejriwal urged the people of Delhi to keep following the odd-even formula voluntarily from Saturday "if you can do it". He reasoned why: "It is a question of our health, our children's health, our city."
He said most people, including those who were inconvenienced, admitted that the odd-even curbs hugely restricted the total traffic on the roads, making commuting a pleasant experience.
Meanwhile, a survey report said that overall public support for the odd-even initiative was 4.5 times more than the opposition it faced.
Some 54 percent of over 12,500 people polled wanted it to continue, while 21 percent voted against it, said the report released on Friday.
The Delhi government is expected to hold a meeting on Monday to review the outcome of the odd-even scheme.

The culture of a business can be easily observed in the statements and policies of top management and in the behaviors of management and employees. But to truly understand the culture of a business you need to know the shared embedded assumptions that are the real drivers of company success or failure. Those embedded assumptions will explain the discrepancies between the mission statement and the actual decisions made by a company, according to Edgar Shein.
The risk management culture for an insurer consists of the ERM policies of the group and the practices of management and employees in measuring and mitigating risks. These topics are covered in other postings in this series.
A healthy risk management culture will usually have training programs to make sure that managers, supervisors and other employees are aware of the risks and the risk management programs of the firm.
The ERM culture is often best supported by one or several members of a risk management team who have experience and training in risk management and who keep that expertise up to date with their own training and continuing education activities.
Finally, a healthy risk culture will be action oriented with a priority for risk management processes that lead to decisions and actions rather than just discussions.
The risk management culture also includes the sometimes unspoken assumptions about risk taking and risk management. These determine the way in which risk management is actually performed and the risk output which it provides the firm.
Most often, the unspoken assumptions of a risk management culture can be traced back to one of four fundamental attitudes about risk.
The four risk attitudes are:
- Pragmatists, who believe that the world is uncertain and unpredictable
- Conservators, whose world belief is of peril and high risk
- Maximizers, who see the world as low-risk and fundamentally self-correcting
- Managers, whose world is moderately risky, but not too risky for firms that are guided properly
Impact on Risk Strategy
Each risk attitude would favor a different basic risk management strategy.
Loss Controlling
This is the most traditional form of risk management; it seeks to identify and mitigate the firm's most significant risks. Commonly practiced by nonfinancial firms, loss controlling also applies to financial risk; examples include the careful underwriting of loans or insurance policies, as well as the practice of claims management. Risk management of this sort is not new—but the inclusion of an aggregate, firm-wide view of risk is a relatively new development that could be termed loss controlling ERM. This type of ERM is favored by conservator firms.
Risk Trading
A newer form of risk management, this approach arose from bank trading desks and the insurance industry. Risk trading focuses on getting the price of risk correct— which leads to sometimes complicated models of risk, reward and economic capital. While a risk trading strategy can be applied on a transaction by-transaction or other "siloed" basis, establishment of a consistent risk valuation on a firm-wide level is risk trading ERM. This type of ERM is favored by maximizer firms.
Risk Steering
Under this strategy, the ideas of risk trading are applied at a macro level to the major strategic decisions of the firm. Here, rather than focusing on the proper price of risk, the question becomes one of how much risk the firm should take—and how to steer the firm in that ideal direction. By its very nature, this is an enterprise-wide approach. Perhaps this is why some seem to think that only risk steering ERM is "real" ERM. Risk steering ERM is highly favored by academics and consultants; manager firms tend to find it appealing, but firms that hold any of the other three strategies generally do not.
Spreading risk exposures among a variety of different classes of risks, and avoiding large risk concentrations, is another traditional form of risk management. Formal diversification programs will have targets for the spread of risk with maximums and minimums for various classes of risks. The newer ERM discipline adds the idea of interdependencies across classes, providing better quantification of the benefits of risk spreading. Pragmatists tend to favor diversification because it maximizes their tactical flexibility, but they avoid reliance on any particular risk mitigation process and often mistrust quantitative measurement of diversification benefits.
In reality, firms will typically use one or more methods. Companies using a risk steering strategy will almost certainly include diversification as part of their toolkit.
Risk based regulatory capital regimes, such as Solvency II in Europe, makes it ever more important that companies adopt a diversified approach to risk taking.
Already we have seen a number of re-structures which bring the majority of group risk onto a single balance sheet.
This allows for maximum diversification benefit under the standard formula and provides for more efficient centralized reinsurance purchasing.
Robust Risk Culture
Risk-based frameworks are resulting in increased scrutiny of risk culture by regulators and rating agencies.
Many consultants also suggest that a robust risk culture is highly important but in most cases go on to describe that culture in highly limited terms of just the policies and required activities of the risk management system.
Willis Re would suggest that a robust risk management culture may require much more from top management than simply developing ERM policy in line with board-defined risk appetite.
Regulators may see little value in a sophisticated looking ERM policy if risk culture appears to be weak.
Ideas that are often associated with a robust risk culture such as accountability, transparency, ethics, openness to bad news and proper alignment of incentives are values that firms need to succeed in the long run and not particularly unique to risk management.
All firms may be well served to make sure that these values are a part of their culture and in the current climate of enhanced scrutiny of risk management programs, to effectively demonstrate this to stakeholders.

The League Management Company has handed the Nigeria Women Football League a N10 million lifeline, to prosecute the second round of matches of the season, reports Completesportsnigeria.com.
According to a media release from the Communications department of the Nigerian Football Federation, the fund will help the NWFL pay indemnities of match officials, taking the responsibility off the host teams.
"We are happy for this lifeline from the League Management Company. This gesture has come as part of the NFF's promise to take the Women's League, and the entire women football sector, to a new level.
"We want to commend the NFF and the LMC for this, and I can assure you that the second round of the season will commence this weekend, with all the teams that started the season.
"We have rescheduled all the matches that were not played for one reason or the other, and the rescheduled games will be played in midweek while the regular matches come up during the weekends," Babagana Kalli, Chairman of the Ad-hoc Committee of the NWFL, told thenff.com on Thursday.
Meanwhile, the Secretary of the NWFL Ayo Abdulrahaman has explained to thenff.comthat five teams in the division who lost their slots for failing to honour three matches in the current season have now been restored to the League.
The teams include Nasarawa Amazons, Tokas Queens and Capital City Doves,Cerezo Queens and State House Queens.

Giveaway {Leah Duncan}
What does a perfectly ordinary day in your life look like?
"On a perfectly ordinary day, I wake up and head downstairs to my studio where I answer emails and wrap my head around my schedule for the day. Then it's off to walk my pit mix Oslo down at the lake, through the park, or around my neighborhood. When we get back, I make a fresh cup of coffee, and get to work on whatever task may be on schedule first. Sometimes it's packaging etsy and wholesale orders, sometimes it's working on a commission, other times and more rarely than I hope for, it's working on something completely new for myself! I've found working for myself often makes my days much less routine. Sometimes I fit in a run or a trip to yoga class, other times I barely have time to shower and eat lunch. I stop working around 6 on quiet days and my husband generally makes dinner (I'm quite spoiled - he just started culinary school). After dinner we talk Oslo for his second walk for the day and then settle onto our sofa in the living room. Most nights including a Daily Show + Colbert Report duo."
What time of year most inspires you?
"Spring! I'm a southern girl and cold weather does not sit well with me. Spring is when everything starts to come alive, the world becomes more colorful, and most importantly I can change back into my cut off shorts and tank tops and start to prepare for the long hot summers we get here in Texas. I'm much more comfortable staving off sweat than shivering. Plus I really enjoy drawing flowers. : )"
What do you think of as comfort food?
"Shrimp and grits, although my favorite is to substitute the shrimp with scallops. Both of which can only trumped by my grandmother's southern cooking."
If you could hop on a plane, without giving one thought to your budget, where would you go? "Around the world! Although lately I've been longing for Chile or Spain - something quaint."
What are five things you would like to do in the next five years?
"Expand my wholesale line, license my surface patterns, hire my first employee, start a family, and eat lots of guacamole, because guacamole make me happy. : )"

Tuesday 21th of March, spring is in the air!
This is really the perfect moment for BEAT to host the very first Club Meetup in Belgium. We could not have found a better moment…
One by one our BEAT members entered the offices of Rebel, one of the leading companies behind BEAT Cycling Club. Piotr Havik, one of our charming ambassadors, welcomed everybody at the entrance. He just won de GP of Woensdrecht so he is in good shape at the moment.
After a warm welcome by Serge, Geert Broekhuizen updated everybody again by telling the full story of BEAT and some background information, to make sure everyone knows the complete story of BEAT.
The group is devided in ranges, not for cycling against the wind (not yet) but for a brief brainstorm, because at BEAT the members think en contribute actively to the formation of the club and of the cycling team. How can we make the BEAT team the coolest of the whole peloton? What should be the characteristics of a BEAT cyclist? What is the BEAT factor? How can we involve our members more in the actions and events of the BEAT club and of the BEAT professional cycling team? These may just be words, but this brainstorm really gives us different insights and/or confirms that we're doing the right thing.
Clubcoordinator Sam informed everybody about the coming events to wich all members are invited. And we concluded that BEAT is getting more active, multifunctional and above all more 'present' every day.
Of course we ended – like always – with a short quiz ("hat on hat off", for the Belgians this is new, but for the Dutch it seems very familiar). The subject, of course, was the Tour of Flanders (we are in Antwerp after all) and finally quiz is won by a lady. All guys beaten, the BEAT factor is indeed unpredictable and gender neutral!
Strictly according to the schedule we ended the evening at 21.30h and we drank one (or more) Kwaremont beers. With 30 members attending, we had a nice and succesful club meeting!
