Doing Evangelism as an Employer
Employers have the unique opportunity to use their position in the world to influence people for the gospel. It doesn't just have to be limited to playing Christian radio in the background. There are many ways that a company can create an atmosphere where Christ is known and proclaimed.
Here are a few suggestions...
1. Share your company's mission, goals, and philosophy of business.
As a Christian, your business isn't about making profits and bringing home a load of cash. A man of God knows that his calling in life is to serve God and his neighbor. His vocation is merely an extension of that.
So be open about it and let people know it. Hold meetings and gather your employees to go over what you're ultimate reasons are for existing. Share with them how God is saved you and how you want this business to be done for him and his glory. Have handouts that state that your mission is to "Faithfully serve the Savior of men, Jesus Christ, by providing great widgets and customer service."
You don't have to be long or "preachy" in your presentations. Lucid brevity can be quite powerful. You'll also have numerous opportunities if you take the long term approach.
All in all, you want people in your company to be on board with your mission anyway. So why not use this opportunity as a public witness?
2. Meet with your employees individually & build a relationship with them.
Yes, you are a busy. You have work to do too, we understand. But make efforts to connect with someone each week. Take them to lunch or have them into your office for a quick chat.
During that time, you can encourage them and express your gratitude for having them. Most importantly, ask how they are doing, see if there's any needs that they have, and ask how you can be praying for them. And, of course, take a second to pray for them right there.
You will be showing real care for them and, when they do have problems, they may seek you out. This can lead to greater opportunities to share the truth of Christ with them.
3. Bring your pastor in and introduce him to your employees
As an entrepreneur you know the power of networking. As a pastor, I can say that it's difficult to get out and meet new people. Evangelism is tough because I'm typically interacting with Christians. The good news is that Christian businessmen can help build bridges between their employees and their church by having their pastor in from time to time.
Introduce your pastor at a company meeting. Let him come to the company picnic. Every quarter or so, have him walk with you through the company and have a quick chat with your labor force. Connect him individually with those who are under your leadership.
If you know that one certain person is having some problems (maybe in their marriage, children), tell them that your pastor can be of help. Have your pastor pray for them right there on the floor of the shop. Let them feel that they have a network of care and counsel at their disposal.
4. Provide Biblical counseling
Want to have your employees get over their drug addiction? Why not offer them meetings with a biblical counselor? Are they consistently late? They likely have issues/habits with which a biblical counselor could help.
Keep in mind too that Biblical counselors have as their first goal sharing the gospel with their counselees. If they are unbelievers, then the counselor will spend a great deal of time pointing out that this is their greatest need (and that their current problem is due to their failure to love and honor God).
If there are fees, perhaps you can cover them. You may even be able to provide incentives for them to meet with those counselors too. The key is connecting your workforce with godly advisors.
5. Hold seminars and studies.
Some companies have safety meetings, health seminars, or conferences on planning for retirement. Similar information could be given for parenting, marriage, addiction, or money management.
All you need to do is consider the needs of your laborers. Maybe a 3 week study on depression would help several in your midst. Or how about some classes on anger?
If your company isn't big enough to hold a seminar, no sweat. Let it be a small group Bible study. Or, if you really want to go all out, coordinate it with other businesses, involve churches, or invite the wider community. It could even be a function put on by your church, but held at your business location.
6. Take employees to Christian business functions
Does your town have a Christian business leader group that meets for prayer or Bible study? Ask one of your workers to attend with you. Doing this will give them a chance to hear God's word or see the love and care Christians have.
While at these meetings introduce your employees to the other members of the group. You can help them make good contact with the other mature men and women who attend. So, not only can they hear the message and witness the testimonies, they can begin to make meaningful connections with other solid Christian people.
These are just a few effective ways to use your business and position as a means of introducing your personnel to Christ. The thing to remember is that God has placed you in a position of authority and that gives you special opportunities as a leader.
Are there things that you've done that have influenced the workforce for the Lord? What have you done to disciple employees or connect your company to the church? Post your ideas below!
Question 1
Who made you?
A. God made me
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
You formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
You may take your blocks and stack them up to make a tall tower. You may draw a picture with your markers and put it on your refrigerator door. These are your creations and they are wonderful things.
But who made you? God did! You are one of his wonderful creations. Before the beginning of time, God planned to create you and all your family. Then, at just the right time, he made you. He made your body and gave you a soul that will live forever. Deep within your mommy's tummy he fashioned you together and made you into the person you are today.
I hope this catechism question helps you see how special you are! For the Lord didn't make just anyone, he made you. He took special care to make you just the way you are. What's more, there's no one in the world like you. You are God's unique creation. That makes you very special! Whenever you get sad, just remember this happy thought: God made me!
Also remember that you belong to God. The tower you built with your blocks is yours. So is the picture you drew. You created it, and it belongs to you.
In the same way, you belong to God. You are his special treasure. Don't ever forget that he is your creator God, and you are his special creation.
Things to discuss
What are things that are unique about you? (Hint: personality traits, physical characteristics, certain looks you make or talents you have, clothes you wear, styles, games you like, etc.)
Things to do
With an ink pad or marker, color your children's fingers. Have them put their finger prints on a sheet of paper. Talk about how are they different and how are they the same. Explain how God made each person's print unique.
Extra: Make each print into the head of a stick figure. Decorate it with your child's specific features, i.e. hair, ears, eyes, etc.
Things to sing
God made me; God made me
In my Bible book it says that God made me.

Leadership is Character
The title says it all. You can read the blogs and buy the latest books, but leadership does not consist of any one particular gimmick or trick. It's about the multifaceted gem we commonly call character.
Some will say that leadership is about the ability to motivate or communicate. These are certainly elements of a good leader, but at their base these are items which pertain to one's behavior.
A good leader communicates well because he recognizes that it is a form of love towards his neighbor. He wants those on his team to thrive and be successful, so he is considerate of what things they need to know. He speaks clearly and calmly because it rises out of righteousness.
He is a motivator because he expresses gratitude, humility, and loyalty. People will listen because they know he will not cheat them, burn them, or lead them somewhere he himself will not go.
Leadership is about service, sacrifice, and wisdom. These are qualities that belong to Christ, the Great Shepherd of the Sheep (i.e. the leader, par excellence).
To be sure, some people will not follow leaders, but leaders will lead nonetheless. That's because they are men of principle, not popularity. People will hate certain leaders. While that may be grieved, it will not dissuade a good leader from his work. For good leaders are seeking righteousness and not man's approval.
Leaders build good teams because leaders understand love and relationships. Leaders get things done because they understand duty, diligence, and dignity. Leaders will reflect, rethink, and redo because they believe in the moral underpinnings of what they have before them.
To be sure, leaders make mistakes too. They fail and they offend, but they know the importance of repentance, forgiveness, and reconciliation. This is why I have often said that leaders lead even in their errors. They will lead by means of confessing their mistake and their attempts to correct it.
Whence comes this kind of leadership? It is born out of humility, honor, and the commitment to doing what is right.
A man who breaks his commitments, lies, cheats, steals will never be a leader. Someone who cuts corners or puts in a halfsy job will not be promoted. A gossip will be abandoned, and those who seek self promotion will have trouble keeping people around him.
But a man of integrity, he will move up. People will rally behind him. Hearts will become attached to the one whose heart is true.
Thus, let it be heard: Leadership isn't about being witty, it is about wisdom. It is not about charisma; it is about character. Those who will be leaders will be those who love what is pure and do what is right.

PrésentationConvinced that he is suffering from a thousand illnesses, Argan imposes his authority and issues orders like the diktats of a dying man. Around him, Béline, his second wife, hurries to the old man's side, who seems to be on the point of dying, along with many doctors wanting to perform a multitude of examinations and pseudo remedies to please their rich patient. But, there is also the malicious Toinette, who sees through the 'courtiers' games and Angélique, the daughter in love with Cléante, who has decided to defy her father's wish.
Molière's last play is a comic ballet which oscillates beautifully between an extravagant farce and a twilight drama. And remembering that Molière played Argan on the day of his death, you will enjoy some tasty lines even more. Michel Didym achieves a wonderful scenographic harmony, where classicism is coloured by the dynamic performance of the actors and the highly appropriate musical score which has a few surprises in store. A perfect remedy against antidepressants and modern burnouts!

Here are all the links from around the hockey world, and what I'm reading, while pleasantly surprised by the level of quality for the reboot of "American Idol" has been thus far.
*An article about how the NHL lifestyle suits Tyler Seguin. Yeah. No kidding. That was part of the reason he was traded from the Bruins five years ago.
*What a great finish by Bruins prospect Jesse Gabrielle with a penalty shot where he shot by not shooting a la Nikita Kucherov.

*Seattle is certainly looking like a hockey market that is going to flourish in the NHL as they continue deep down the path to being an expansion team.
*Did you want to know what it was like for FOH (Friend of Haggs) Pierre McGuire to share his between-the-benches spot with Susan Sarandon? Well, he talked about it on Ottawa sports radio on Thursday morning.
*Expected No. 1 overall pick Rasmus Dahlin talks about potentially being a member of the Vancouver Canucks, and the pressure of being a top prospect.
*For something completely different: Martha Quinn talks about her favorite interview subject from the 1980's MTV VJ days: David Lee Roth.

Tonight is the season finale of Scandal, and what's going down when the bomb goes off is anybody's guess. This is one of those episodes you truly have to gear yourself up for. Here's one way to ease into the process: Take a trip through time with us, back to the D.C. day we first met Olivia Pope. How many of these things do you remember from episode one of Scandal?
Quinn calls Harrison "a baby lawyer" when she first meets him.
And Harrison has this to say on the compensation at OPA: "We all get paid crap salaries."
When Harrison bribes a security guard with a pizza he describes as being topped with the works, the guard makes Harrison open the pizza box and show him the toppings. And Harrison does it.
Literally the first thing Huck ever says on-screen is, after Harrison describes him as former CIA, "I don't talk about that." Ha.
The first OPA case ever is already in progress when we join the action, and it involves Olivia returning a baby kidnapped by "the Russians" to his parents. But first, the baby sits on the table in a box for a while.
Steven, his epic root volume, and his suavity with the morgue attendant (from Popular). Not to mention Abby's crush on him. Don't worry, Ab, David Rosen is on his way, and he's so much better.
Huck finds Quinn crying in the bathroom after she and Olivia threaten Fitz's mistress Amanda.
Speaking of Amanda, it's because of her we know OPA once had an elevator attendant.
Liv's hair was all regal-mussy. Let's call it Lincoln bed(room)head. I think I liked it better then than now. The single barrel-curl of today is getting on my nerves.
Three separate people reference Liv's gut never being wrong. Liv is one of them.
ICYMI, here's Phoebe's recap of last week's Olivia chronicles. And here's some stuff you forgot about the very first episode of Revenge.


text: This month, Dr. Richard Viladesau, Professor of Theology at Fordham University, helps us understand Baroque Lutheran Passion settings in a broader artistic and cultural context. In this episode, Dr. Viladesau discusses his book book The Pathos of the Cross, which examines how the Passion story was represented in Baroque theology, art, and music, in both Catholic and Protestant contexts. Fans of Bach's Passions will enjoy hearing about the much larger historical and theological traditions in which these and similar pieces were composed and heard.

Residential investment property is a property which is not occupied by the owner but rather it will be being rented over to tenants. The owner may work as a landlord or get a property management company to administer the house or property. This is often a good intro for aspiring property investors and can also encourage them to significantly discover more about handling the property and other types of real estate property investments.
Below are a few of the integral factors to consider before you purchase a residential investment property.
One of many apprehensions that the tenants will invariably focus on is how easily accessible the property or house is going to be the public transportation. Tenants will surely have to go to work or school, so easy access is a very critical.
A suitable residential investment property must have easy access to convenience and supermarkets and also restaurants or fast food chains. This way, the tenants ?s not going to feel like they have to travel frequently just to get their basic needs. Other shops would also be good, but a place where they can have easy access to transportation, food and various needs are definitely the main factors that needs to be considered by the owner before buying the property.
The owner also need to consider the sort of tenants depending on where the residential investment property is located. If it's near colleges and university areas, then the property will easily attract students and professors, and this may be a good and continuing source of income for the owner. The same can be said if the property or house is situated near employment sites thus providing the owner with tenants who are looking to find a residence near their workplace.
In addition to this, there is also the concern of maintenance of the property. Tenants will not want to stay long in a damaged property, particularly when they think that the landlord doesn't care enough to have it fixed. Taking note of tenants' concerns and then giving it a timely solution is critical.
And of course, the owner need to comply with the property laws. The matter of mortgage, taxes and insurance need to be taken care of. The cost of the maintenance and insurance should be well-covered by the tenants' rent.
These are a few of the aspects that you ought to look into should you wish to invest in this kind of property. With time and experience, you will discover more of the other aspects that ought to be considered when shopping for the right residential investment property. So take the time to keep yourself well-informed. Discovering what is the best for your tenants will allow you to understand fully not just their needs but yours too so as to succeed in this venture.

Religion, the Brain and Evolution: Are Human Wired to Be Religious? (Grand Rapids)Date:
January 9, 2019
The Sweet House
254 E. Fulton
Grand Rapids, MI 49503 United States
Get Directions
Organized by:
Jennifer Beahan
Phone: 616-698-2342 x801
Email: email@example.com
Some humanists have decried religion as misfiring brain circuits, while others have suggested that human beings are naturally wired to be religious. While humanists disagree with religion, it is important to understand why, despite centuries of scientific progress, religion seems so tenacious.
In this talk, Dr. Mark Reimers will present his thesis: that religion co-opts genetic changes to our brains that have been important in human evolution for strengthening community bonds and enabling flexible cooperation in small bands of hunter-gatherers.
In this presentation he will discuss some of these changes and how they have enabled humans to transmit culture and accumulated knowledge as well as belief. It's important to understand that religion is not a monolithic entity, and he will touch briefly on the evolution and diversity of religions, and varieties of human engagement with religion, and will conclude with some prospects for the future of humanism and religion.
Meetings are open to the Public and are held in the Auditorium on the lower level. Please use the door on the south side of the building on the lower level (by parking lot).

There's an all-Nutella shop in Brooklyn, and it's fantastic
Imagine what heaven looks like. Okay, now imagine it again, but this time everything is COVERED IN NUTELLA. That's basically what the much-anticipated (and somewhat delayed) Nuteria looks like -- a bite-sized shop in Brooklyn's Park Slope that's covering everything in hazelnut chocolate, from crepes and waffles to paninis and cakes.
Coffees, cappuccinos, and Nutella hot chocolate are also on hand, as well as $1 spoonfuls straight from the jar. We double dare you to see how much a whole jar costs by the spoonful.

text: This interesting little curiosity from the 70s happens to be one of my absolute favorite slasher films. Its also an extremely eerie picture. For the uninitiated, its about a mysterious morality killer who tricks a group of "undesirables" into attending a fake high school reunion, only to pick them off once they get there. If you think this sounds a bit like Slaughter High, you'd be right, though this came first, and for my money, its the better film. Its religous subtext alone makes it more intriguing overall. Once the 80s slasher boom arrived, it was retitled Class Reunion Massacre to help it better cash in on the craze on home video. The six so-called degenerates include a lawyer, a gay actor, a lesbian, a rich snob, a cute girl who takes pride in her appearance, and a cocky former football jock with a tendency to pig out every time he gets the opportunity. Despite negative comments about the acting at IMDB and in a horror reference guide of mine, the acting in this film is just fine as far as I'm concerned. The six main characters are perfectly believable in their roles, and all of them but the glutton wind up being quite likable. The Redeemer himself comes off as a little over the top at times (the scene in the auditorium for instance), but this actually works in the character's favor, as it really makes him seem like an absolute lunatic. Indeed, the Redeemer is a very creepy individual. Throughout the film, he dons many different costumes (as Terror Train's killer did a few years later), each one representing an aspect of each victim's life. These costumes are quite creepy, and really add to the film's effectiveness. Perhaps the creepiest scene in the entire movie is when the lesbian is yelling for a man to let them out of the school, and that man turns out to be the Redeemer dressed up as the Grim Reaper. He proceeds to pound on the bars with his scythe, toying with her, and it always sends a chill up my spine. This film also has a weird surreal feeling to it that I love. The above mentioned sequence is all the creepier because it comes off as rather dreamy in a way. The film's opening and closing sequences, as well as the moody score, reinforce this feeling tenfold. This film also has an unnerving atmosphere, and I wouldn't hesitate to call it one of the most atmospheric slashers in existence. The eerie school, the rural area surrounding it, and the surreal feeling all add up to give this film atmosphere out the wazoo. The Redeemer is a bleak, dread inducing slasher that never has been regarded all that highly. Personally, I think its easily one of the best films of its genre. There really isn't very much gore in this movie, but it more than makes up for that with an interesting premise, a surreal tone, a very creepy killer, likable characters, and a unique utilization of religous themes. This one is well worth rediscovering. That said, I was browsing the used DVD section of Half Priced Books a few weeks back, and I came across this film on a cheapo double feature DVD. I decided to buy it, and while it is certainly not a disc to write home about, at least I have it to watch whenever I want. I would kill to get a great release of this film, though I fear that'll never happen, as Program Power, the shitty company that aquired the rights, went under before putting together the release, and I have no idea what has become of the rights. Hopefully one day, someone like BU or Synapse will get ahold of this one.

Taste Track Review: Epcot Food & Wine Festival
Taste Track is a food truck in Future World at Epcot that operates during the summer tourist season at Walt Disney World. Currently, Taste Track has a special menu for the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, and that's what we'll be reviewing.
This new menu at Taste Track includes the famed Pancake Milkshake and a bunch of croissant doughnuts. To be honest, we have a vague suspicion that if this menu proves popular at Taste Track, and the new poutine menu is popular at Refreshment Port, both of these will become permanent offerings beyond the Epcot Food & Wine Festival.
In other words, if you want an all cronut, all the time menu at Epcot, vote with your wallet and order like 20 of these bad boys. As you can see from the above photo, we're doing our part. Actually, we're probably getting ahead of ourselves–let's review the quality of these cronuts before we start daydreaming about this menu becoming permanent…
In terms of basic info about this Epcot snack spot, there's not really much to know. The name is pun on the nearby Test Track attraction, which is obvious to anyone who doesn't simply mistake the name for that ride's actual name. It's located by the Test Track Cool Wash, which is a misting station turned Coca-Cola stand.
For the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, a limited number of tables are scattered around outside the Taste Track food kiosk. Should those tables be occupied–as is often the case–there are trash cans as far as the eye can see, which make a great tabletop for enjoying $25 worth of croissant doughnuts.
Prior to this new menu, Taste Track was closed for a while, and prior to that, it had a variety of elaborate ice cream sundaes (pictured above for reference–not available now). Historically, it's always been a grab and go location, serving refreshing snacks guests could enjoy while walking, with no expectation that people would linger.
Here's a look at the current menu:
In case your eyesight is as poor as mine, here's all of that spelled out:
- Croissant Doughnut in Cinnamon Sugar – $6.00
- With Gelato – $8.00
- Croissant Doughnut with Chocolate and Marshmallows – $6.50
- With Gelato – $8.50
- Croissant Doughnut with Chocolate Hazelnut Cream – $6.50
- With Gelato – $8.50
- Croissant Doughnut with Sprinkles – $6.50
- With Gelato – $8.50
- Gelato (Chocolate, Hazelnut, White Chocolate Raspberry or Vanilla Bean) – $5.00
- Pancake Milkshake – $5.00
Here are our photos and reviews of each menu item at Taste Track in Epcot…
This is the 'standard' cronut, and the kind that previously has been available at Refreshment Port near Canada in World Showcase. In case you're unfamiliar with cronuts, they are the beautiful marriage of croissants and doughnuts (hence the name) and have become trendy in the last 5 or so years since the concept was pioneered in New York. (It was also trademarked, which is why Walt Disney World doesn't use the name cronut, despite everyone calling it that.)
At their best, cronuts are at once crunchy, doughy, and flaky, embodying all of the best qualities of croissants and doughnuts. If you get one that has been sitting around too long, there's an emphasis on the crunchiness. The standard cronut at Walt Disney World is coated with cinnamon sugar, and is similar to a churro, but superior in every way (sorry not sorry). This is a good introduction to the wonderful world of cronuts.
The cronut with sprinkles is my least favorite of the bunch. While I like the vanilla icing and think it complements the cronut nicely, the sprinkles are a cheap distraction from the great flavors underneath.
Your mileage may vary depending upon your thoughts on sprinkles–it's not necessarily a bad option.
The next two are my favorites of the bunch. This one with chocolate and marshmallows has a nice texture from the graham cracker crumble, making it loosely like a s'mores cronut.
My absolute favorite, and the one I'd recommend to advanced cronut enthusiasts. As usual, 'chocolate hazelnut cream' is Walt Disney World menu code for Nutella (another trademark usage issue…or perhaps Disney uses the off-brand because they can't afford the real stuff?), they just don't spell it out. Here, the Nutella works fantastically with the cronut, and the raspberries are another nice touch.
Two final notes about the cronuts. First, the quality of the cronuts very much depends upon how long ago they were made. This booth was really busy over opening weekend of Epcot's Food & Wine Festival, so that was not an issue. However, during an off-season weekday, you might get one that has been sitting around all day, which might cause you to question why the heck we spoke so highly of this hockey puck-like snack. These are all close enough in quality that asking the Cast Member at the order window which is freshest–and choosing that–might be your best bet on a slow day.
Second–and related to the first–we opted to order these without gelato for the sake of an "even" comparison (and so we didn't drop another $8), but we would strongly recommend them with gelato. Any of these should pair well with the hazelnut or vanilla bean gelato. The bonus upside to gelato is that it'll permeate the cronut, making it a bit less noticeable if you do get one that's not quite as fresh.
Finally, we have the Pancake Milkshake. Literally everyone in our group loved this. We all had different opinions about its taste, ranging from dead-on pancake to birthday cake and some other oddball responses.
I didn't think it was a dead-ringer for pancakes, but agree with the sentiment that it tasted like something batter. It's really good–but also pretty small. I'd recommend it if only for the novelty and the Rorschach test of determining what you think it tastes like.
Overall, Taste Track was a surprise bright spot of the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, and we really hope this menu sticks around. Normally, these "other snacks" booths are afterthoughts with unambitious, crowd-pleasing fare for those who don't like the adventurous options at the Global Marketplaces. This year, that's only partially true. Booths like Taste Track do offer crowd-pleasing fare, but it's also inventive, fun, and delicious.

The Independent School Entrance Examination (ISEE) is an entrance exam used by many independent schools and magnet schools in the United States. All levels consist of five sections: Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, Mathematics Achievement, and a 30-minute essay. The ISEE can be seen as a parallel to the Secondary School Admission Test, or SSAT.
Our complete course represents one of the most comprehensive ISEE prep programs in the world. Our students see big score improvements, fast.
At All Round Education Academy, our goal is to ensure that our students gain the fundamental knowledge required for this exam, as well as the provision of enough supplementary material that can benefit their individual learning needs, such as past paper analysis and lessons that are tailored to the student's abilities and progress.
On average, our students score in the 92nd percentile or above for the ISEE.
"My kids loved the lessons! The tutors were excellent communicators and mentors to my kids! They look forward to working with them during the holidays when we are back in town." - Parent of Man Hei and Joanne, who are now boarding school students in the US
"My child achieved a stellar improvement in his scores and we will now see what our options are in terms of boarding and prep schools" – Parent of Rigraj

School can be extremely overwhelming at times, and as a result, many children will experience anxiety. In some cases, the stress that is experienced is resolved, but in other cases, children will develop what is known as an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders have the ability to impact a child's performance in and out of the classroom as well as how they interact with other people. Therefore, it is crucial that you be familiar with the signs of a potential anxiety disorder in children. Here are three common symptoms of anxiety disorders.
Sign #1: Constant Stress
If you notice that your child is under constant stress, having concerns about things, fearing school assignments or social situations, then there is a good chance that your child has an anxiety disorder. If your child is able to continue to go to school and attend class, then your child may benefit from outpatient therapy. However, when your child is go beat down with the stress that he or she is unable to attend class or dismisses homework assignments, your child may need more focused care as well as medication.
Sign #2: Changes in Mood
If your child is normally active and outgoing and suddenly becomes shy, quiet, and shows a lack of enthusiasm toward activities and friends, he or she may be dealing with social anxiety. In some cases, your child may experience panic attacks when he or she is faced with certain triggers or forced into a situation that he or she finds uncomfortable. This particular type of condition will vary from one individual to the next, but it is important to focus on your child's mood and any changes that may occur with his or her behavior. Try to talk to your child about any issues that he or she may be having to lighten the load on your child's shoulders.
Sign #3: Trepidation to Attend Activities
There are many things that will go through your child's mind as an anxiety disorder develops. The disorder will become more overwhelming, which will cause your child to show more trepidation toward attending extracurricular activities like student organizations and sports. If you are trying to encourage your child to participate in these activities and events when you didn't need to before, then you may need to speak to a professional.
For more information about anxiety disorders, reach out to a professional anxiety therapist in your area.

Well, as anyone who has been on one of my Wild Food Walks will know I don't know my fungi and I can't identify toadstools or tell you which is an edible or a poisonous mushroom.
In fact the lexicon-ology (if there is such a word) of mushrooms and /or toadstools has never been 'precisely defined, nor is there consensus on application' says the modern day font of all knowledge Wikipedia, it goes on 'There is no clear-cut delineation between edible and poisonous fungi, so that a "mushroom" may be edible, poisonous, or unpalatable… the term "toadstool" is nowadays used in storytelling when referring to poisonous or suspect mushrooms'
Anyway in this week's copy of the Big Issue Paul and Scruffy writing for the 'Green Shoots' column encouraged readers to get out on a guided mushroom walk and this weekend that is exactly what I did in my local park with expert Glen as part of this autumn's Chesterfield Transition Skills Share workshops.
Despite it being quite late in the season (the walk was originally scheduled for 2 weeks ago, but then it was too dry), we managed to find 3 types of edible mushrooms – Field Mushrooms (but not growing in a field), Blewitts and little tiny baby Jews Ears.
We also found several non-edibles – Sulphur Tops, Greasy Tough Shank, Stump Caps, King Arthurs Cakes (little black blobs on trees which are great for keeping embers going in bushcraft fire situations), lots of LBJs (like bird watching there are lots of 'little brown jobs' which, with a great deal of skill, time and patience can be identified, but in the field are classified together!) The last mushroom to be found was a beautiful white mushroom which Glen skilfully and quickly identified – this made plain how tricky this is – several of us had books and it looked like any number of mushrooms illustrated and not at all very much like the one it actually was!!
The most useful part of the walk was the way Glen showed everyone how work through a key to identify a mushroom and the different parts and how they are described. He recommended a couple of good books and a website – 'Collins Gem Mushrooms' (a great pocket book), Roger Phillips seminal work 'Mushrooms' and Roger's website called simply www.rogersmushrooms.com
Correct identification is of course a real matter of life and death – what a shame we have lost so much knowledge about wild food that our European neighbours have retained. Take a mushroom into any chemist's shop in France and the pharmacist will be able to identify it for you and give advice as to its suitability for eating – its part of their training!
But you don't have to be in the depths of the country to find mushrooms as this letter to the Evening Standard from 1970 shows quoted in Richard Maybe's 'Food for Free'
'On Friday at 5.15pm I gathered 2lbs of fine mushrooms in Berkley Sq, London W1 … a couple of yards from the traffic and evidently ignored or mistrusted by passers by. May I express my appreciation to Westminster Council for the welcome free garnish to this morning's breakfast, tonight's casserole and the weekend's Coq-au-Vin.'
Mushrooms / Toadstools and Fungi
Well, as anyone who has been on one of my Wild Food Walks will know I don't know my fungi and I can't identify toadstools or tell you which is an edible or a poisonous mushroom.

Every child in the World have dreams to achieve success even if they are under the age. If they play games everyone want to win, if they are at school everyone want to get high grades, if they make any tasks in class everyone want to be perfect and so forth. That happened to me, too. As a child I wanted to achieve my own aims in school. It was what my parents had taught me for. If you are a reader you can be a leader.
My first learning experience has not been very difficult for me. I used to learn everything that my older sister learnt before I went to school, so I did not face much difficulties in reading and writing. I cannot remember very well what kinds of methods my teachers have used at the very beginning. It was long time ago and there were no computers, no internet so learning was more boring comparing to the conditions today. I can better remember later on when I started learning English. That was at the fifth grade. My first English teacher was from Belgium married in my village. She was very friendly to the children, she taught us very well, she used a lot of conversations, she used to make a lot of games and the thing I most loved was homework. Except we had to do homework we had to design them as good as we can. Since then I began to love English and I never stop loving it.
Growing up and step by step, year by year it was much more difficult . However I finished primary school successfully and I continued secondary school which I suppose was one of my worst experiences in my life. Because of the Serbian occupation we were not allowed to learn at school, so I never touched the school desks during my four years
of secondary school. But we have never stopped learning, we used to learn in private houses and everyone can imagine the effect of that kind of learning. I would like to have a free topic to write about my life, to describe 'how my best age was my worst experience', 'how my best friend (my roommate) was killed in the war', and a lot of things that happened in my country during my best age.
As I mentioned above, my English learning was getting more difficult. We were asked to write every day notes, like a diary, reading different lessons and doing comprehension check, learning poems by heart, I can remember one " The garden of love ", I have not forgotten the title, but I do not know what did it say. Then at university we used to do a lot of reading and writing activities. I have read a lot of novels, plays, comedies and I have written a lot of essays which I enjoyed very much. I spent hours and hours reading novels or plays and then making a content of them in essays. As a student I have been writing my diary, too. So my hand is well exercised by writing while reading cools my mind. I would like to mention my favorite reading activities were Shakespeare's plays ( all of them ), and my favorite novels were those of modern literature. While my least favorite activity was the theory of translation. I found it a little bit difficult especially Albanian – English translation.
Another difficult thing during my learning experience was learning of irregular verbs. I could not learn them, I mixed them. Instead of begin – began – begun, I used to say begin – begun – began. There was Past Participle the last one I used Past Simple. I always struggled with these two forms and I had no idea how to learn them. Finally I found a way. I wrote all irregular verbs on a big paper and I put it on the wall of my bedroom in front of my bed so I used to read them every morning and every night. It was a good way to learn something by heart, it was a very good method.
Looking back at my learning experiences and comparing to my teaching today is a big difference. Today a new technology and new methods are in use. Computers, internet, working in groups and so forth, so I do not always use my teacher methods. I can say that there is a big difference between my first learning and teaching experiences. If I could turn back the time I would do it to enjoy the first learning experience one more time, while I will never forget the excitement of my first day teaching experience.

Help Us Help You
Imagine your house is on fire, a family member has a medical emergency, or a criminal is threatening you at your home.
You call 911 and report the emergency and the location.
The dispatcher alerts the appropriate authorities (Fire, EMS, or Law Enforcement).
Emergency personnel respond towards your location.
The responders are unable to arrive at your location quickly because there is no address sign, or it isn't readable, or it is obscured by vegetation or snow.
This situation occurs all too frequently.
Eventually, we get to your location, but "eventually" doesn't cut it when flames are blowing through your roof, or someone isn't breathing, or an intruder is kicking-in your door.
Mark your property with large, visible address signs. This is especially important where several properties on a road or driveway share the same address number, and have additional "A", "B", "C", etc. designations.
Prudent property owners even place directional arrows on common access roads and driveways along with their address sign that point the route to their specific property.
In an emergency, every second counts. "Help us help you" by clearly marking your property with address signs.

Anne and Alberto buy chicken at the market in Ocoyoacac Apr. 25.
The markets of Latin America are one of the more distinct differences between that culture and North America's. Unlike the sterile supermarkets found in Canada or the United States, the outdoor markets in Mexico are colorful, crowded, and somewhat less concerned with hygiene.
My mother, who volunteers part-time as a community food advisor (teaching people about nutrition and hygiene), couldn't get over seeing the meat and fish hanging in unrefrigerated open-air stalls with dogs and chickens running around between the people.
And yes, from time to time, there are problems. But most of the time there aren't, and it makes life a whole lot easier (and cheaper) for the people there. It is a good example of the general difference between life in Latin America and the U.S. or Canada: There, they operate with a much lower margin of safety, whether that be on the roads, home construction, or food safety.
And, along with that, they accept a much higher degree of personal responsibility for their actions. They won't sue if they break their leg because of a hole in the sidewalk, even if it didn't have any barricades. (Even if they were in the right, the party at fault might not be able to pay, and even if they could, it could take years to go through the courts, so it's not worth it.)
For better or for worse, Mexico (and much of Latin America) is much closer to a truly capitalist society than the United States.

text: Sometimes we mistakenly believe we can get away with our wrongdoing if no one witnesses or catches us, but sooner or later, what was done in the dark will eventually come to light. When a crisis occurs, we soon discover that our misdeeds have been quietly breeding into serious consequences. In a world dominated by social media, it becomes incredibly easy to be exposed in some manner. While all skeletons are not damaging, a skeleton is still generally defined as a guilty secret you'd rather not share. In order to avoid such instances, its better to live each day as if your actions will one day be known to the world.

Moving in your mother-in-law, sharing an attic with an uncle or converting your garage into a granny flat might sound like a living hell for many North folk.
According to a new report, sharing a home like television's Waltons is a reality most of us could end up facing, however.
The report, produced by the North Yorkshire-based Skipton Building Society, says the number of homes in which three generations of a family live together will treble within 20 years - from 75,000 to more than 200,000 nationwide - as financial pressures grow.
Crippling childcare costs, pension shortfalls, rising residential home fees and soaring house prices are already making life difficult for North families.
One of the best ways to save money is to live as one big happy family with grandparents, mums and dads and children pooling resources in a bid to make ends meet, reckon the authors of the report, titled Financing Your Future.
It can be a rewarding experience other than financially as well, reckon some of those who have tried it, such as the Heslops, of Tynemouth, North Tyneside.
"When you have such a range of generations, you can all offer your own opinions, talents and ideas, so it's a very rich learning environment that works really well," said mum- of-two Jill, 40.
Jill and her husband Lawrence, 51, bought two flats in a large terraced house overlooking the picturesque seafront in Tynemouth in 1987. The house is divided into three flats with a communal front door and staircase.
The couple - parents to Jennifer, 14, and Richard, seven - were very worried when Jill's father died six years ago, leaving her mother, Marjorie Alderson, alone at her home in Billy Mill, also in North Tyneside.
They came up with what turned out to be the perfect solution when the middle flat went on the market and Marjorie, 65, bought it after selling her old home, turning the three-storey property into a rambling family home.
The Heslops and their new housemate can enjoy spending time together but also retain some privacy when they feel so inclined.
Jill said: "I was very worried for my mum when Dad died. She was getting increasingly depressed and wasn't herself any more and was going rapidly downhill. We've always been a very close family, so I wanted us to wrap our arms around her and surround her with love.
"Since she moved in she's become a different person. She's back to her old self and has also changed her whole lifestyle. The kids love having their gran around all the time too."
The Skipton Building Society report says that what it labels "extended financial families" such as the Heslops can save money because they can get by without forking out for childcare. That, on average, represents a saving of £128 a week for a child under two.
Jill and Lawrence, bosses for the Youth Hostels Association in Newcastle, agree.
While they are at work Marjorie collects Richard and Jennifer from their schools, often cooks them dinner and keeps them occupied once they are back home.
And when mum and dad want a weekend away Marjorie is more than happy to babysit. Jill said: "It's a real relief knowing they can be looked after at home too, surrounded by their own things.
* ife
"My mum is very musical. She used to be a church organist and was an infants' school teacher with an interest in music. She can captivate any audience when she plays her piano. The children will often sit around the piano and sing along.
"My children sleepwalk and I've often found my daughter asleep on my mum's bed! This way of life wouldn't work for all families . . . but it works perfectly for us."

Norlan C. Henderson in Flora of North America (vol. 26)
Rhizomes greenish, freely branching, forming large, open clumps, 2-2.5 cm diam., fleshy, with fibrous bases of old leaves not covering rhizome but persisting on ringlike scars. Stems 1-branched, solid, 3-10 dm.

Flowers: perianth blue to blue-violet (white in forma albispiritis); floral tube funnelform, 1.2-1.5 cm; sepals blue or pale violet with flecks of white and lines of deeper blue on either side of ridge, spatulate, elliptic to ovate, 7-8 cm, apex acuminate, ridge yellow, linear, extending to about middle of limb, finely pubescent, claw light green, striated, ribbed, 1-1.2 cm; petals erect or spreading-erect, deep blue, linear to narrowly linear-spatulate, 6-7.5 cm, base abruptly attenuate into claw, claw channeled, green with darker lines, margins pale; ovary bluntly 3-angled, ridged at each angle and on faces between angles; style linear-acute, 5-6 cm; crests ovate, 1-2 cm, margins sharply and irregularly toothed; stigmas broadly 2-lobed, margins crenate; pedicel 1.6-2 cm. Capsules ellipsoid, round in cross section, roundly 6-lobed, with 6 sharp, winglike, equally spaced ridges converging to form stout beak at apex, 6-10 cm, dehiscence loculicidal. Seeds in 1 row per locule, brown, circular or uneven, flattened, 8-12 mm diam, very corky. 2n = 44. Flowering late Mar--early Apr. Wet ditches, margins of lakes, streams, and swamps; Ala., Fla., Ga. Iris savannarum has often been included in I. hexagona, but differs in several ways. The capsules of I. hexagona are more obviously hexagonal, with smooth faces alternating with those that have two rounded lobes, whereas the capsules of I. savannarum are more rounded but with six obvious ridges, almost of winglike proportions. Iris hexagona has yellow-green leaves instead of the brighter green of I. savannarum. The leaves of I. savannarum die back after anthesis, while those of I. hexagona remain green. The flowering period of I. savannarum is almost one month earlier than that of I. hexagona in the area where both are known to grow. The sepals of I. savannarum are more acute at the apex than those of I. hexagona. Iris savannarum has been hybridized with Iris fulva to produce I. × cacique (J. Berry) N. C. Henderson.

The boxes are usually free. For this reason we do not accept complaints for damage of any kind. We appreciate your understanding.
Are the indicated prices incl. Or excl. VAT?
Prices in 3D laser catalog and in the online shop are incl. VAT. The invoice the VAT amount is stated separately.
What are the additional costs for image processing and laser treatment?
All our prices are including the image processing and also incl. Lasering. Only for complex image editing (for example, motorcycle with storage wheels) A small additional cost is required - this will get communicated to the customer before work. For the creation of 360 ° 3D models from photos extra cost are getting charged for the modeling.
Can color be lasered into the glass?
This is not possible for technical reasons. The lasered points are always displayed in white, because it is a combustion in the glass. In various awards, it is possible to print in color - please inquire with us.
Are there colors, which cannot be well represented in the laser image?
Generally following must be considered: A white color is represented extensively with many laser points and thus appears in the glass very bright. Dark colors are, however, presented with very little to no laser points and appear in the glass only very weakly or not at all. For a good display of the photo dark colors are getting lightened up and bright colors are getting obscured in the image.
Avoid a photo with strong color contrasts. With black hair, therefore, you should not wear too bright or even white shirt. With blond hair avoid a very dark shirt.
How many laser points is an image?
A laser image consists hundreds to thousands of laser points. The number of points is also dependent on the existing colors of the image. Bright colors need more points than dark colors. We always strive for maximum quality and thus we laser your image with as many laser points as possible.
Are there differences in quality in the lasering?
Oh yeah. Cheap laser procedure is created with very few points. Thereby, the processing time can be reduced by up to 90%. The lifetime of the laser is increased by the same factor. Such products are not according to our and the Swiss standard. We always strive for maximum quality and thus the highest possible number of laser points (comparable to the resolution of a photo with the number pixels).
What about the life time of laser products?
The life time of laser products are endless. These inner engravings cannot be attacked by external influences. If the glass is not otherwise damaged (broken), the lasering lasts forever.
Does the glass measurements fit 100% according to the product information?
No! All glasses, cuboid, dice and awards are made by hand and therefore certain variation are possible. The deviation of the measurements can be like: in small glasses 0.1 - 0.5mm and with large glass blocks up to 0.1 - 1 mm
What can be lasered in glass?
Everything you can print on paper. So photos, texts (including handwriting), logos, drawings, images, etc. ... and, moreover, 3D models!
In your examples, only the people (heads) are often displayed without background. Did the customer already provided the picture like that?
Generally the picture is always lasered without background in the glass. On request the background can be lasered was well. Please note when ordering that you mention it at the comments section. In this case, the person / object "made freely" with an image editing program. The service of "free placing" the people / objects from the background is provided by us with no extra charge.
What kind of laser are used?
For the inner engraving of crystal glasses we are using diode pumped solid lasers which is operating with pulsed green laser of the latest generation. With this short wavelength laser with a wavelength of 532 nm "green", the engraving is much more finer and therefore more precise. The increase in quality is apparent and clearly recognized by eye.
For the surface processing of flat glass a CO2 laser is getting used. All glass surfaces and many coatings can be structured with it and the glass surface is always matted by the CO2 laser beam. The matting is performed by a partial melting of the glass surface.
What kind of glass is used for the laser products?
We exclusively use so-called "white" and highly polished crystal glass. We place the highest quality demands on the glass blanks. Every single glass blank undergoes an intensive inspection control. Blanks with large inclusions, scratches or other damage will get sorted out. This enables us to ensure in advance that only the very best quality comes to delivery. The larger the glass blank, the higher the rejection rate. Nevertheless, a glass can have tiny air pockets.
Do you have a showroom?
Yes! In the city of Zurich (for more details please see under "contact"). Here the different laser products can be visited. Please make an appointment before visiting.
What is a glass engraving?
Under glass engraving or glass inner engravings means the processing of glass inside with a laser. The term "engraving" but is misused, because with this method, no material is removed according to the definition. Glas Doors What are the standard dimensions for doors according to DIN 18100?
Generally, we offer standard glass doors that can be hooked in any standard frame DIN18100 made out of wood or metal. The available sizes can be found in the respective product.
Our glass doors are available in the common standard sizes of 709 mm x 1972 mm, 834 mm x 1972 mm and 959 mm x 1972 mm in accordance with DIN 18101 for unfolded door leaves. Please choose the glass door configurator from the desired standard measure, the correct door stop, fitting type and the appropriate fittings for your door.
How I measure a door?
Below a sketch for the correct measurement of the door: Further details on the measurement of glass doors, please see "Information" (link)
Does it matter which door / partition wall side is the edited page?
No. Please choose the side of the door on which the theme shall get engraved. The "Theme Page" is the page on which the glass is processed - irrespective of whether the glass sandblasted, was lasered or painted. This site feels due to the processing always rougher than the smooth glass side of the door.
Please select therefore the door side from which the theme shall get read. The "Scene-readability" plays an important role, especially in designs of lettering. Depending on how you look at the door, the subject is either "read" or mirrored.
Can you cut glass doors?
No, because our doors are made of 8 mm thick glass and they processed special heat treatment! We can produce according to your requirements Standard doors and doors with special measurements accurately.
Before the production of the doors they of course can get tailored to the conditions at your site. There are many factors that can affect a glass door size.
How big is the door frame?
When a new flooring laid, so that the old glass door no longer fits? Which width and height is required? Adjust the holes in the glass with the sides agree? All of these factors we can consider individually with your order
What must be observed when cleaning the doors and partitions?
Our processed glass doors can be cleaned with a microfiber cloth. To avoid scratches caused by dust and other contaminants, please proceed with the cleaning cloth in generous swipes over the glass.
Fingerprints and grease stains can best be removed with a conventional glass cleaner. If the pollution sometimes stubborn to let the glass cleaner shortly move and please use neither abrasive nor hard sponges or brushes. These scratch the glass and are irreparable.

Low demand for homes creating excess supply in some markets
Show more sharing options

Not every housing market is dealing with an inventory shortage, as over one-third of respondents said there was excess supply in their local area, according to a First American Financial survey.
"When asked to identify the top reason for the availability of supply in their markets, 47.5% of the survey respondents indicated the lack of first-time home buyer demand as the main reason for the availability of inventory," said First American's Chief Economist Mark Fleming. "Most of the survey respondents that cited lack of first-time home buyer demand as the reason for the availability of inventory were based in Connecticut, Louisiana, West Virginia and Florida."
"The second-most cited reason for the availability of inventory was more new homes built recently than the market needs (23.3%), followed by bank-owned properties for sale (14.8%) and rental investment properties for sale either to new investors or homeowners (14.4%)."
Most of the title agents and real estate professionals surveyed by First American that said their area had an excess supply, 47.5%, called the amount moderate, with 8% saying it was severe. Another 28% said the amount was low, while 16% said it was negligible.
The overall attitude about growth in the number of mortgage transactions going forward for both purchase and refinance declined during the third quarter.
First American's Real Estate Sentiment Index was at 54.70 for the third quarter, down 4.8% from the second quarter's 57.47 and 9.7% from the third quarter of 2016.
Even though purchase volume sentiment was down 5.6% from the first quarter to 61.24, "strong millennial demand continues to keep expectations for purchase volume growth positive overall, while expectations for a rate increase in September [by the Federal Open Market Committee] may be causing refinance expectations to fall," said Fleming.
Compared with a year ago, purchase sentiment was up 0.2%.
The refinance component of the index was down 3.8% from the second quarter to 48.16 and down 19.7% from the third quarter 2016.

When you're working in an office, you may not think that you're prone to injuries. Sadly, there are still a number of injuries that you could suffer from working in an office. Anything from poor ergonomics to faulty electrical outlets can result in employee injuries.
Insect bites and stings could be covered by workers' compensation
When you're working outside, one thing you may have to watch out for is bug bites. While they may seem minor, stings and bites can lead to life-threatening situations for some people. Additionally, some bug bites can cause serious diseases.
Neglected patients deserve better: Fight back
Nursing home abuse and neglect are among the worst things that can happen to a vulnerable loved one. You entrust their care to those who should know how to protect them, yet this is so often not the case.
