"The gatekeeper opens the gate for Him, and the sheep listen to His voice. He calls His own sheep by name and leads them out. When He has brought out all His own, He goes on ahead of them, and His sheep follow Him because they know His voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice." John 10:3-5 NIV
Here, Jesus give us a metaphor that describes our relationship with God. He says that God is like a shepherd and we are like His sheep.
Jesus also reminds us that we have a speaking God. God doesn't only speak to us generally, God also speaks to each of us individually. He speaks to each of us by name and He leads us out.
Part of our problem is we have so many other voices speaking into our lives. God is calling us to block out the other voices, reject the other voices, run away from the other voices and hear and follow the voice of God.
Why God Speaks
God wants to have an individual conversation with you, because He is a personal God. God wants to have an up close and personal relationship with you.
"The virgin will conceive and give birth to a Son, and they will call Him Immanuel" (which means "God with us")." Matthew 1:23 NIV
Mary and Joseph name the baby Jesus, but they are going to nickname Him, Immanuel, which means "God with us." There are things that God wants to say right into your heart if you'll let Him. There are several reasons why God would want to do that.
- God speaks to facilitate friendship.
"The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend." Exodus 33:11 NIV
A lot of people don't see God that way, as a friend. God speaks to you to facilitate friendship. You can speak to Him in the same manner, as a friend. If you want to hear from God, you need to cultivate a friendship with Him. You create friendship with God by spending time with Him in conversation.
- God speaks to us is to give guidance.
The Lord sees the dangers ahead. He sees the roads we shouldn't take and He is trying to guide us. Here's the tension with guidance; If God guides you away from something you're doing, you're probably not going to be happy about it. But God knows what lies ahead and He is trying to turn you from evil and steer you toward righteousness.
God knows what's up ahead. He sees the beginning from the end. We have to learn to trust God in every situation even if it seems like He's doing something we don't like, something we don't understand. God speaks to you to guide you through the things that you cannot see.
"Listen for GOD's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; He's the one who will keep you on track." Proverbs 3:6 MSG
- God speaks to provide perspective.
God has a perspective that you don't currently have. Not everything that you see is what's going on. Not everything that you see in the natural world is actually what's going on. There is another dynamic, a spiritual, eternal dynamic around us.
God has both perspectives at the same time and He wants to unveil and reveal to you things that are happening in this spiritual realm, not just the physical realm.
No eye has seen, no ear has heard neither has it entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for you, but God will reveal it to you by His Spirit. God would love to show you a new perspective on life and on the world.
"For we walk by faith, not by sight." 2 Corinthians 5:7 NKJV
God wants you to walk by things you are not seeing on the surface. Walk by faith, not sight.
Don't just trust what you see, but listen for what the Spirit of God is telling you.
There was a Wisconsin Badgers football game and they were losing the game, horribly. The fans in the stands were cheering like they were winning though. The Badgers would make a bad play and the fans in the stands would start cheering. It was confusing to the players and to the announcers who were calling the game.
Why would the crowd cheer for this horrible play? It turns out that the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team was also playing at the same time in a post-season game and the Brewers were winning, wonderfully. So the fans in the stands had their ear buds in and were listening to the game. So when the Brewers would score a run or make a great play, the fans would cheer wildly regardless of what the Badgers were doing on the field.
The people in the stands are watching a game they are losing, but they are listening to a game they are winning.
They are watching defeat but they are listening to victory. They were looking at one realm, and they were listening to another realm.
They were responding to what they were hearing, not what they were seeing.
God would love for you to respond to what you are hearing from Him not what you are seeing in the world.
How God Speaks
The Bible gives us a number of ways that God speaks to us. He speaks loudly through peals of thunder and rushing mighty waters. God speaks through His word. God speaks through prophets and pastors and leaders, through pain and circumstances.
God is able to and will speak to us in a lot of different ways. But today let's look at one way in particular that God speaks to us. It's the way that God uses the most and it's the way that God speaks to us that we often don't recognize.
We call this The Whispers of God. It's a nudging, a prompting, an urging in your spirit.
In 1 Kings 18, Elijah fights the prophets of Baal and he wins a great victory over them. Then in chapter 19, after that great victory, Elijah enters into a deep depression.
Often after a spiritual high point, you enter into a spiritual low point. Spiritual highs are followed by spiritual lows. Don't be surprised by that.
Elijah actually runs off to hide in a cave by himself. He's become convinced that he is all by himself that he is the only one trying to serve God. That he's the only one trying to do the right thing. God came to speak to Elijah in order to pull him out of his depression.
"The LORD said, 'Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by.' Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper." 1 Kings 19:11-12 NIV
Some translations call it a still, small voice. We need to learn to recognize the whispers of God. Here are four areas where God whispers to you.
1. He whispers encouragment.
God is doing this all day long. When someone irritates you, when the enemy is trying to rob you of your joy, the Spirit of God is right there trying to encourage you.
God is not disappointed in you saying, "Why don't you read your Bible more? Why don't you get to church? Why don't you stop all your bad habits?"
"The Holy Spirit speaks to us deep in our heart and tells us that we are God's children." Romans 8:16 NLT
God sees you as part of His family.
"Pay attention, come close now, listen carefully to my life-giving, life- nourishing words. I'm making a lasting covenant commitment with you, the same that I made with David: sure, solid, enduring love." Isaiah 55:3 MSG
God knows every stupid mistake you'll ever make and He still loves you. He may not like what you're doing, but He loves you just the same.
Today God is saying:
You are my child.
I love you.
I am so proud of you.
2. He whispers warnings.
Have you ever been heading in one direction in life and then all of a sudden you have a "feeling" it's not the right way to go? The Holy Spirit can offer warnings to keep you from going off track.
"After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them." Acts 16:6-7 NKJV
If you give the Holy Spirit room to speak into your life. He will guide and direct and protect you.
"Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, 'This is the way; walk in it.'" Isaiah 30:21 NIV
He may be whispering:
Don't do it.
End the secret.
Get help.
3. He whispers direction.
Some of you are looking for direction in your life about who to marry or where to work or what house to buy. God will speak to you, if you involve Him in the process. Here's the secret to this one; let the emotion of the excitement of buying something new pass and then place it before the Lord and ask Him what you should do.
Let that first jolt of the emotions pass and then ask God to direct your decision and He will. Luke 2 tells the story of when Jesus was dedicated in the Temple as a baby and Simeon, this old man who had been waiting for the Messiah heard God speak.
Simeon was, "Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts." Luke 2:27 NIV
The Holy Spirit told Simeon He had an assignment for him. God wanted him to pray for that Christ child. It was the greatest moment of Simeon's long life.
Paul, in the book of Acts said, "And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there." Acts 20:22 NIV
Simeon was moved by the Spirit. Paul was compelled by the Spirit. The Spirit speaks to us to direct us. He can speak pretty specifically to you too, if you let Him.
He may give you general directions like:
Slow down.
Do it now.
Take the next step.
4. He whispers dreams.
God will put inside of you something that you never thought you could do.
"For God speaks again and again… He speaks in dreams, in visions of the night." Job 33:14-15 NLT
God speaks to people in different ways. We believe Jesus could come back at any time. It seems as though all the signs of the end times are being fulfilled now.
"In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams." Acts 2:17 NIV
God says He's going to put something inside of us so we can be a solution to all of the problems. Your role in the End Times is to be the salt and the light that points people to Christ.
What God might be saying to you today is:
Go all in.
Give God your best.
Make a Difference
So what do we need to do in order to hear the whispers of God? We need a posture and attitude that says, Speak to me LORD, I'm open to hear what You want to say.
"Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening." 1 Samuel 3:9 NIV
What if before every tweet, every email, every Facebook post, every conversation, every decision and every purchase, we said, "God speak to me and tell me what to do, I am eager to respond."
"My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me." John 10:27 NIV
Check Back
Check back on your discussion from last week. Do you have any more thoughts, questions or conclusions about the message on Preparing to Hear? What have you been hearing from God during 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting?
Listen to the sermon: online, iTunes podcast or Google Play Music
Hear the Word
This week, Pastor Kelly continued the Frequency series on how to cut through the noise and hear God's voice. Not only does God speak, but He is speaking to you! Why and how does God speak? God speaks because He is personal, close and relational.
"The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend." Exodus 33:11
God speaks to facilitate friendship, guidance and perspective. That's the "why" behind all of this. God speaks because he is seeking a close, personal relationship with you. He is our guide, friend, and Lord.
So how does God speak? He is not limited to one way of communicating. It may be that God speaks to you in a clap of thunder, a still small voice, or directly through His Word. The key to an open line of communication with our Father is intentionally keeping our ears open and our hearts receptive to what He is speaking.
"The gatekeeper opens the gate for Him, and the sheep listen to His voice. He calls His own sheep by name and leads them out. When He has brought out all His own, He goes on ahead of them, and His sheep follow Him because they know His voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice." John 10:3-5 NIV
1. Tell your group about a time when you heard the whispers of God.
2. Has God ever used the pain of a difficult situation to speak into your life? How did you react? What did you learn?
3. If we need to have the right "posture" to hear God's voice, in what ways are you posturing yourself through prayer to hear God speak?
4. Do you have any tips on prayer that you can share with your group? What has helped you to hear from God?
Tell Someone Else
Who can you encourage to listen for God's whispers in their life?

Archaeology Indigenous Youth Engagement Program
Cultural awareness through archaeology
The Archaeology Indigenous Youth Engagement Program focuses on incorporating knowledge students have learned throughout their high school careers into applications commonly used in the discipline of archaeology. Because archaeology is an interdisciplinary field of study, it is a unique medium in which to apply the core pillars of the Alberta Curriculum, such as mathematics, science, language skills, and social sciences.
The program is based through a classroom day, during which staff work with students on a number archaeologically-themed in-class activities and scenarios, to prepare high school students for excavations as well as engaging them with the past and increasing their cultural awareness. These activities are designed to provide insight as to how an archaeologist interprets the past and will provide students with the basic skills needed to participate in a real archaeological excavation.
The second part of the program is based on interactions and experiences on the land during which time high school students have the opportunity to participate for two days at an archaeological dig at Blackfoot Crossing Historical Park. Students will be paired with University of Calgary field school students and will be provided the opportunity to ask questions, explore personal interests, as well as potential careers paths within the discipline of archaeology. It is important to note that this program is flexible and activities seen in each section can be changed, added to, or adapted to the specific needs of a class.
Classroom Activities
Youth will take part in a number of activities that compliment Alberta's Educational Curriculum. Including:
- Alberta Prehistory
- Biology and Faunal Analysis
- Geology and Lithic Analysis
- Ceramic Analysis
- Geography
- Excavation Techniques and Data Recording
Out in the field
Students will then apply the skills learned in the classroom at a real archaeological excavation. The day in the field will consist of:
- Tour of the Archaeological Site
- Excavation and Recovery of Artifacts
- Recording and Mapping Artifacts
- On-site discussions of Alberta prehistory
- Atl-atl throwing

EASY MONEY is an ironic title for a sharply observed, tonally complex story of people who dont fall into easily definable categories. Money is the driving force in all their lives, but they are not all people who have sold their souls for it. There is nothing so cliché in this Swedish import starring Joel Kinnaman, known in this country for, among other things, his finely shaded performance on AMCs The Killing. Rather, they have compartmentalized their humanity, that leads to crushing contradictions more dangerous and insidious than the external dangers that come from leaving the security of order and honor behind.
Working in his other native language, with subtitles for those not fluent in Swedish, does nothing to detract from the richness of Kinnamans performance. As J.W., an ambitious graduate student of economics, his child-like longing for the moneyed world of his friends makes him a sympathetic character even as his choices become increasingly ill-advised. He is smooth, as he moves between the elegant dinners and dissolute parties of his rich friend, the grungy streets where he drives a taxi to earn extra money, and the hushed classrooms where received wisdom becomes less and less relevant to J.W.s real-world situations. But his smoothness has a few rough edges. Quick with an riposte among the idle rich he tries to emulate, he is less successful keeping his fictitious back story straight with the angelic but earthy Sophie (Lisa Henni), the object of his carnal and social desires. Eager to make a buck, he is less than comfortable while keeping his cool amid the immigrant community that looks to him for a similar entrée into Swedish life to the one that J.W. seeks to gain among the aristocracy through his connections there.
Rigorous in his grooming, pulling buttons off a new shirt to replace them with better ones, brilliant in his studies, J.W. is not above doing jobs for his boss at the taxi company that brook no questions, as long as the cash is right. And it is very right when he is asked to bring in Jorge (Matias Varela), newly escaped from prison and with the Serbian mob after him. The money considerable, at least from J.W.s standpoint, with the danger on a par with it. The slippery slope that started with writing papers for fellow students is negotiated with nary a second thought when his expertise in the world of high finance comes in handy for the major drug deal in which Jorge figures prominently. Taking advantage of insider knowledge from his posh friends, he works illegal magic for the drug dealers, and doesnt bat an eye when the old money with which he is dealing acquiesces to a convenient fiction about what is actually happening, and asks for a cut of the cash.
All well and good as far as story, but it is way the story is told, with characters whose hearts are tender even if their consciences are impaired. And at the center is Kinnaman, working with a director, Daniel Espinosa, that makes every moment one of suspense, whether the scene be one of a social faux pas narrowly averted, or of a friend about to be beaten to a pulp. The way Kinnaman puts his hair just so, checks the effect in the mirror, and strides out into the world with a purposeful gait and the studied air of a man who knows what he is about, while at the same time giving away that tiny but telling soupcon of playing a part rather than living a life The slow metamorphosis of wide-eyed delight as the world he wants seems to be his for the taking that narrows as he begins to sense that nothing was as it seemed, and his best advice comes from the least likely source in the least likely of situations.
EASY MONEY is taut, tense, and exquisitely spare. An exercise that is a character study of the first order masquerading as a highly effective thriller, using the tropes of that latter genre with a scalpel-like precision, and the severity of an Old Testament deity, it dissects the perils of pursuing form, not substance.

Each year, over 10 million people go out to hunt deer in the United States. On average, this leads to 6 million deer being killed and reported. To ensure that you get one of these deer and the best one you can, it's crucial to have the right accessories during your hunt.
In addition to hunting being a great form of skill-building and recreation, it also helps control the deer population. A population that leads to over $250 million in crop, landscaping, and personal damages each year. Not to mention the million or more deer that will be involved in car accidents every single year. Making every shot count is essential.
When I began hunting deer on an elevated stand, everything was smooth sailing. It was easy to install and setup, giving me the wide area and sight I needed to capture deer. But the deer stand I chose wasn't as big as I wished would be, but I didn't want to get a whole new deer stand, spending more money! That's when I found out about the best elevator brackets for deer stands.
These products helped me out big time but it can be quite difficult to find the best one for you. That's why I made this helpful purchasing guide, so read on!
When I began deer hunting, I realized there were so many tools I needed! I didn't only have to invest in the proper bows and carbon arrows, but I also had to get the best bone saw for deer and other field dressing equipment just in case I caught one.
While field dressing deer on your own does take on a bit of work, it's quite an accomplishment when doing it on your own. And with the proper saw and equipment, there won't be an issue in getting the meat for your next meal! So if you're looking for a quality bone saw, read on.
When I hunt, I don't only think of learning all about the deer to capture them. I also have to think of the possibilities when I do target and shoot them! Once I have them shot down and ready to dress, there's one challenge to go through: Hoisting them to skin or hoist to your truck. While you can carry it yourself and risk an injury because of the heavy weight, you can also opt to invest in the best deer hoist (game hoist) to make things easier!
But with the many hoists available, how will you know which is the best for you? Read on as I show you the five top reviews!
When you're planning on going on a hunt, then you've probably already considered where to hunt. Personally, I love using hunting blinds when I'm on the field since I stay unnoticed by deer and can wait in comfort. While it's also fun to use elevated stands, I prefer staying on the ground, especially during cold weather!
However, just because you're in a hunting blind doesn't mean you're protected by the temperature drops during the colder seasons. That's why I invested in the best deer blind heater, which has kept me warm and much more comfortable while I wait inside the blind.
So if you're looking for a good heater for your deer blind, I show you the five best ones!
When I first began hunting, one of my first issues was how to attract them! Sure, there were deer attractants and decoys available, but I know that the one thing that will surely have them visit a site (and have them stay there!) was the food. That's why I began doing my research and looking into what would entice deer to my hunting spot. And that's when I learned all about the best salt block for deer!
But what exactly is a salt block and what can it do to help with your hunting? Read on as I talk about salt blocks and review the five best ones!
If you're looking for a great way to hunt, then using an elevated stand is a great way to go. However, there is another type of way to hunt that not many hunters know about, and that's through using the best tripod deer stand! But what are these types of stands and what makes them better compared to using other methods of hunting?
It can seem confusing at first, which is why I did the research! Read on as I show you what you need to know about using deer tripod stand and the five best ones for you to choose from!
When you're planning on deer hunting, you're probably wondering: How can I carry deer back to my truck after I caught it? Obviously, you wouldn't carry your game to and from the truck, as this is such a tedious task! That's where the best deer cart comes along, helping you carry your game easily.
But of all the deer carts available for you to invest in, which one is best? Read on as I show you the top five best deer carts to check out now!
I have used binoculars even during my first few hunts, though I never realized that there were awesome accessories for it to make it easier to carry! What saved me from the hassle was the best binocular harness for hunting, which felt even more comfortable and allows me to continue walking while making use of my hands.
Are you wondering what harness you should begin investing in? Read on for my top five choices!
There are different ways on how one can attract deer. You can find the best deer decoys, create hunting strategies, or even plant turnips to have deer come to you! But if you want something small and simple to use to have deer come to your area without seeming scared, then the best deer attractant will help you out with that. But wait! What are the different types of deer attractant and which is the best to invest in?
Read on as I show you all about the deer attractant, as well as the top five choices to help you out.

Editor | December 5, 2019 @ 04:50 PM
Parliament on December 4 passed a bill to grant ownership rights to people living in 1,731 unauthorised colonies in Delhi, benefiting eight lakh families.
The National Capital Territory of Delhi (Recognition of Property Rights of Residents in Unauthorised Colonies) Bill, 2019 was passed by a voice vote in Rajya Sabha.
It was already passed in Lok Sabha on November 28.
Replying to the debate in the Upper House, Urban Development Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said that the bill would soon get the President's nod and the work of uploading maps of 1,731 colonies would be completed.
"We have already uploaded maps of 1,130 colonies. After uploading all maps, we would give 15 days' time for filing objections (by resident welfare associations and other stakeholders)," he said.
"We would open the filing of application by resident from December 15 and a dedicated portal for that would also be provided," the minister said.
About empowering women under the bill, he said that the registration of property in these colonies would be done "either in the name of women head of the family or co-jointly (with male member)".
He also told the House that progressive names would be given to these colonies.
About consideration of other colonies falling in forest areas, Archaeological Survey of India protected land, Zone O, Yamuna flood plains and in affluent categories, he said that these are not included in this bill and would be taken up separately.
About the stamp duty and other charges for registration of house in these colonies, the minister said that it would not hurt anybody as this is on nominal basis.
Explaining why the colonies were not authorised on the basis of an executive order, he said that there was a Supreme Court judgement on these type of properties and the bill was required in view of this.
The Supreme Court in its judgement in 2011 had held that sale agreement or General Power of Attorney or Will transactions are not 'transfers' or 'sales' and that such transactions cannot be treated as completed transfers or conveyances and they can continue to be treated as existing agreement of sale.
Earlier participating in the debate, Congress member Digvijay Singh had said that when the delineation was done by the central government, the Delhi Government should have given ownership right to these residents with executive orders and there was no need for this bill.
The minister said, "I am confident that our job (of providing ownership to resident of unauthorised colonies) would be done for eight lakh families."
The minister told the House that he was working on the issue since 2017 when he took charge of the ministry.
Before passing of the bill, Congress member Jairam Ramesh asked the minister to give some other nomenclature to unauthorised colonies like duly authorised.
He was of the view that these people were deprived of their rights due to slow administrative actions.
The minister also told the House that this bill could act as a model for other states facing the same issues.
He expressed dismay that in 2015 the AAP Government had promised in its action plan that they would regularise these unauthorised colonies within one year of taking charge of Delhi Government.
The minister also said, "We (all parties and governments) are to be blamed for their (poor living) conditions (in unauthorised colonies)."
The minister thanked all 18 members who participated in the debate and supported the bill but said that some of them gave "ostensible support" to the draft law.
The bill states that there has been a phenomenal increase in the population of the National Capital Territory of Delhi in the last few decades owing to migration and other factors.
However, it says, the development of planned housing colonies has not kept pace with the requirements of burgeoning population which resulted in increase of unauthorised colonies.
In view of the socio-economic conditions of the residents of the unauthorised colonies and ground realities, it is desirable to recognise and confer rights of ownership or transfer or mortgage to the residents of such colonies, the Bill said.
It will be done "on the basis of Power of Attorney, Agreement to Sale, Will, possession letter and other documents including documents evidencing payment of consideration and to facilitate development or re-development that may improve existing infrastructure, civic and social amenities which may lead to better quality of life," it added.
It also provides for levy of the stamp duty and registration charges on the amount mentioned in the conveyance deed or authorisation slip issued by the Delhi Development Authority and non-payment of any stamp duty and registration charges on any previous sale transactions made prior to the last transaction.

Many of our aspiring cabin crew are looking forward to a bright 2019! To many of them, it is a chance to turn their flying dreams into a reality. For some too, it is another chance to earn their wings after numerous turn-downs and rejections during the past year. Indeed, air travel is growing and the need for more cabin crew is definitely going up.
We now run down a list of airlines that our aspiring cabin crew have to watch out for. Just to make it clear, we are NOT necessarily saying that they WILL be hiring, all we are saying is they MAY or MAY NOT, so it's best to keep an eye on these airlines. This is also our chance to prepare for upcoming open days, interviews, and recruitment days. No official announcement from them have been made as of this moment but just keep an eye on them.
1. Philippine Airlines and PAL Express - They are taking delivery of more aircraft and are opening more destinations this 2019. Hence, there is a huge possibility that they may hire more cabin crew. Though no official announcement have been made, it's best that we prepare for this in advance. Notice also that we have been attending recent PAL cabin crew graduations?
2. Cebu Pacific and CebGo - They hire all year round so definitely they will continue to hire this 2019, especially that they are bound to take delivery of 32 Airbus A321NEOs beginning 2019. This may include more destinations and more hubs. Normally, Cebu Pacific accepts cabin crew walk-in applicants on Mondays and Tuesdays. We are unsure if this will continue in 2019 but one thing is certain, there is a huge possibility, though no official announcement has been made yet by the airline. Just watch-out for them.
3. Air Asia - The airline held numerous cabin crew recruitment days this 2018 and as they expand their operations, we are expecting them to hold more this 2019. Philippines Air Asia alone held more than four open days during the incumbent year and we are predicting that they will hold more this coming year. Question is if the opening will be Philippine based or based elsewhere but anyhow, watch out for Air Asia open days this coming year!
4. Delta - They recently announced that they will be hiring around 1,000 flight attendants this coming year, so this needs no further explanation. Just prepare yourself though. Acceptance rate is at 1% only out of the total number of applicants based on the 2018 numbers. This won't be an easy thing.
5. Saudia - Though they were not able to hire that much from the Philippines just this 2018, we are predicting that they will be taking in more Filipino cabin crew this 2019 via their official recruitment agency, IPAMS. With other Middle East carriers that continues to hire more cabin crew, we feel that Saudia will follow suit and hire more Filipinas as their flight attendants. IPAMS though continues to accept walk-in applicants but we still have to wait for an official announcement from them. We suggest not to wait for an announcement though, just head out to IPAMS and attend their pre-screening for Saudia.
6. Qatar Airways - After holding about 6 cabin crew recruitment events in Manila this past year, we are pretty sure that 2019 will be no different. Qatar Airways usually tours different countries to hold cabin crew recruitment days which are pretty much well attended and in the Philippines, more than a thousand hopefuls usually line-up to take an opportunity of a lifetime to be their flight attendant. IPAMS is the official recruitment agency of Qatar Airways in the Philippines. Watch out for their announcement but better start preparing soon.
7. Emirates - This past year, their job opening for Filipinas was for Cabin Service Assistant. Our prediction is that they will be hiring Filipina flight attendants this coming 2019 through their official Manila recruitment agency IPAMS. So always check back at the Emirates careers and IPAMS websites.
8. Vietjet - The Vietnam-based airline recently held their first ever cabin crew recruitment day just late this year and we are predicting that they will be back for more this 2019, knowing that they about a hundred more aircraft in order. So to all who attended Vietjet's first recruitment day but did not make it, our take is they may be back for another one this coming year.
So to all our aspirants, there is no need to wait for an official announcement from these airlines before taking action. Take action today by getting yourself prepared. We have tons of articles in this website that may help you get prepared so just go browse through.
Also, preparation does not only entail trying to get through the recruitment process, but also making it through training.
Again, all these above are just our predictions. We could be right and we could be wrong. Nevertheless, it is better to be over prepared than under prepared. We also do highly suggest that you browse through other airline websites and join Facebook groups that announces cabin crew recruitment events.
Note, please do not ask us about any specific dates or details about any cabin crew recruitment events and airline job openings. These are just our predictions and assumptions. You may always contact the aforementioned airlines for more complete details and precise answers.
Your comment will be posted after it is approved.

Frank E. Blokland
Frank E. Blokland (Leiden, 1959) studied Graphic and Typographic design at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague from 1978 to 1982. As a student, in 1980 he founded the successful working group Letters from which many well known Dutch type designers have come.
In 1985 Blokland won Chartpak's type design contest with his typeface Bernadette which was then published as a dry transfer font. A year later he designed the Bulthuismonument (Bergum, Friesland) and its lettering for the Royal Dutch Mail. More lettering assignments followed, like the Homomonument near the Westerkerk in Amsterdam, the plaque at the Jewish Orphanage in Leiden, and the Franciscanessen-monument in Oegstgeest.
In 1990 Blokland wrote a bestseller with his course book for Teleac's television course Kalligraferen, de kunst van het schoonschrijven (Calligraphy, the art of hand writing) of which 16.000 copies were sold. In the same year Blokland founded the Dutch Type Library. Since the 1980s he has published over 150 articles in professional journals like Compres, Page, PrintBuyer, and the Hamburger Satzspiegel.
When Gerrit Noordzij retired in 1987 from the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague, Blokland was the first of the younger generation to succeed him. Blokland now lectures in letter drawing and type design/production to first- and post-graduate courses at this institute. In 1995 he was asked to become a lecturer at the Plantin Society in Antwerp. A few years later he initiated and supervised the development of DTL FontMaster, a set of utilities for professional font production. Frank E. Blokland designed amongst others the typefaces DTL Documenta and DTL Haarlemmer.

Ulyanovsk business delegation has signed a number of export agreements on "zero day" of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum 2018
In the presence of the Governor Sergey Morozov, Simbirskoe Atelie (a company on production of confectionery) has signed several export contracts with large international distributors. This includes shipment of production to St. Petersburg and Finland.
"I am glad to see that recently there has been sustainable development of export in the region; more and more companies are interested in foreign markets, and sales geography is expanding. Now it already includes nearly 100 countries that want goods made by our manufacturers. For these purposes, the region has the Center for Support of Export at the Ulyanovsk Region Corporation for Enterprise Development. Thanks to comprehensive efforts, in comparison with the same period of last year, the level of export increased and made more than US$ 87 million in the first quarter of 2018. This indicator has surpassed the Russian average by more than by 20%", - the Governor Sergey Morozov said.
According to Milana Privalova, the head of the confectionery factory, agreements will allow to expand sales geography and will have a positive impact on development of the whole business. "I opened a factory on production of elite chocolate in 2015. We started by making small amounts of goods, but now it is a full-fledged factory which employs 25 people. We were able to start export of our products thanks to assistance of the Ulyanovsk Region Corporation for Enterprise Development. Now goods made by our enterprise are shipped around the country through distributor networks and we also carry out deliveries to Kazakhstan and China. For us, the agreements signed today have opened new markets", - said a businesswoman.
In 2017, export has reached US$ 687.1 million; it increased by 61.63% in comparison with US$ 430 million received in 2016. Over ones hundred foreign countries have trade and economic relations with the Ulyanovsk region. Goods made in the region are exported to more than 85 countries. In 2017, main trade partners of the region were Egypt, Kazakhstan, Ireland, Belarus, Germany, Iran and others. The most common goods that were used for export are cars and automotive components, aircraft components, production of the woodworking industry, construction materials (bridge and road guardrails, heat-insulating materials, etc.), and radiopharmaceuticals.According to Ruslan Gaynetdinov, the Chairman of the Board of the Ulyanovsk Region Corporation for Enterprise Development, implementation of the Export Development Strategy will ensure further development of export and support of regional enterprises in presenting their production on foreign markets. It is planned to submit the document this summer. According to Ruslan Gaynetdinov, implementation of activities described in the Strategy will help to improve the level of primary industries' technological effectiveness and innovation, as well as to increase volumes of export of products for further processing and finished goods. It will also have a positive effect on export volumes of cars and automotive components, goods of the woodworking and furniture industry, equipment and products of instrument engineering, items of the food industry, and many others.

At Kamat, Post: Jamgaon, Taluka: Roha, off Kolad Mulshi road, District Raigadh Kolad Maharashtra India Kundalika is a beautiful river originating in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra and ending into the Arabian Sea near the creek at Roha. The river flows through thick forests and rice fields of a region of what was earlier the princely state of Bhor.
It is the only river in Maharashtra on which white water rafting is possible. This river has two hydroelectric power stations at Bhira and Ravalje. Rafting is done on the let off of these hydroelectric projects. The rafting experience is very nice with 13 km stretch with nice grade III and grade IV rapids.
Our property is a luxury tented camp on the banks of Kundalika River and is situated at the end of the rafting run. We have 20 Tents with attached toilet and bathrooms. We also provide adventure activities like rappelling, valley crossing, kayaking, campfire and barbecue etc.
Kundalika Rafting Camp, located at Kolad in Kamath Village, is the Nature Trails Resorts stunning campsite on the banks of the Kundalika River. This Campsite boasts 20 full-service luxury tents complete with all comforts and W.C, bath, intercom and locker facility. A 2-acre campus houses the Luxury tents and dining and camping areas. The surrounding area is a forest. A short trek through the campus forests leads one into the Kundalika river where one can spend an evening kayaking and dipping. Trained instructors and proper safety equipment make this a safe and fun activity. Wild boars, deer and atleast 20 species of birds can be easily spotted around the campus. Flying fox and raft building are other activities that can be indulged in by people of all ages. In fact, the flying fox is an instant hit with the children as little as 3 years of age.
Nature Trails. If you are seeking resorts providing nature and adventure-based weekend breaks, look no further.

Insurers Adopt a Premium Policy
Question: What's one thing life, death, cars, boats, homes, mortgages, vacations and beloved family pets all have in common?
Answer: There's a companyor two or 100out there eager to insure them.
And while premiumsof the direct mail varietymay not be as pervasive among these companies as they are in others, more and more insurance mailers are turning to free gifts to help ensure that theirs is the policy prospects choose.
While insurance volume in the Who's Mailing What! Archive for 2005 is on par with previous years, premium use is up significantly. So far in 2005, premium use is hovering around 10.4 percent, which is an increase of more than 100 percent over 2004's 4.7 percent. Part of this surge can be attributed to the spring; premium use jumped from just 5.9 percent in the first quarter of this year to 11.7 percent in the second quarter. And while numbers for September are not yet available, the third quarter is on pace to continue this trend, with July at 17.4 percent and August at 10 percent.
Overall, premium use in the insurance sector currently is dominated by a couple of mailersmostly in the auto categorythat rely heavily on the tactic. Of those, The Hartford is the mailer with the longest-term control premium: a desk calculator it has been offering AARP members since at least 1999. The calculator, which is branded with both AARP and The Hartford logos, is free to members who request an auto insurance quote. In the program's current control, a #10 effort the Archive has been receiving since August 2004, the premium is promoted with an image on the back of the outer envelope and the teaser, "FREE Thank you GIFT ... Just for helping us help you!" The calculator also is featured on both sides of the reply device (Archive code #420-178519-0507A).
It's possible, however, that this calculator premium may be fatiguing. This year, The Hartford has been mailing two new premiums: an atlas, which the Archive received offers for in March and May, and a flip-open clock/calculator, which we saw in July and August (Archive code #420-178519-0508). Like its more basic predecessor, this flip-open premium is available to AARP members who request a free quote, and is featured on both the envelope and the reply device. But, in a break from the control, the offer mails in a 6" x 11-1/2" snap-pack and is featured on a dedicated insert. It also does not appear that the clock/calculator is branded with the insurer's logo.
New York Life Insurance is another mailer fond of the calculator; the Archive has been receiving offers for a pocket version since 2002. But New York Life also mails targeted
efforts with equally targeted premiums, such as a baby calendar for new parents, which the Archive received in April 2004 (Archive code #460-172661-0507), and an "Asian-Indian T-shirt," presumably mailed to prospects of Indian descent (Archive code #460-172661-0507). Oddly enough, nowhere in the mailing is there an image of this "Asian-Indian T-shirt."
Alternately, 21st Century Insurance has been leaving nothing to prospects' imaginations since it entered the premium fray in July 2004 with a gas card premium it has been mailing heavily ever since. While the auto insurance provider has tested different creative formats for this offer, the personalized, #10 effort the Archive received in July seems to be its control, having appeared consistently since the start of the year (Archive code #420-414995-0507). In it, 21st Century teases its gas card through an oversized address window that shows an image of a hand pumping gas with the teaser, "We'll send you a FREE $20 GAS CARD if we can't beat your current insurance price!" written below. With the cost of gas steadily rising, this premium likely will prove to be very effective for 21st Century for months to come. (And it may be a good test for other mailers as well.)
Some other insurance premiums of interest received by the Archive recently include:
* Blockbuster gift card for a quote on a home and auto umbrella plan from Arbella Insurance Group (Archive code #460-701085-0506);
* $100 travel certificate for an insurance quote from AAA of Southern California (Archive code #420-182432-0506A); and
* Travel kit (containing such items as shoe polish, sewing kit, toothbrush and nail clippers) with enrollment in a flight insurance program from American Express Property Casualty (Archive code #455-642930-0508).

The media hub of the ever expanding empire of the Weird Teacher whose goal is total educational domination through the power of excellence.
Tuesday, June 11, 2019
Where My Benches At?
The moral of this story is saying yes to things can yield really awesome things for your students. Especially when you say, "Yes, but what if it was More?"
My district started an initiative this year with the goal of connecting businesses to classrooms. They would enlist professionals to collaborate with teachers at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, and together the teachers and business people would create some kind of experience for the students that helped them see how what they are learning connects to the wider world (don't say "real world", our kids live in the real world and school operates there already). Because I'm one of the two teachers at my school who is known to default to "Ok, let's try it" I got asked to volunteer to be a part of the program. The other teacher did too.
We were paired up for Fortis Construction, who is currently employed rebuilding one of our high schools. An educational consultant firm (I think, I'm still not clear on what this third party does) joined in the party too because they wanted to help build a wider curriculum out of whatever we came up with. This was a pilot year, so no one knew anything. I like this, because it means steering can happen more easily. When someone thinks they know exactly where they're going it's harder to change course. We were ground floor, which means everyone was looking at each other going, "I dunno, maybe this?"
The third party presented us- myself, the other teacher, and Fortis- with a packet of ideas they'd come up with that were "elementary appropriate". The other teacher and I looked at the packet for about five seconds before tossing it aside and asking for the middle or high school packet. You see, the elementary one was fine, or would have been had it not involved our classes. It was experiments in if you make a ramp at this angle how far will the marble roll and such. Fine, but easy. My kids had already made a cardboard arcade at this point. We're past ramp building. During the initial brainstorming session we landed on what is to be key in my project-based learning flow chart from here on out- How can the product be visible and exist in the real world for a real amount of time? This lead the other teacher to suggest a bench. As is, what if our classes designed and built a bench that Fortis, being a construction company, could then build and install? The guys from Fortis looked at us long and hard for a minute and then agreed that yes they could do that. Cool cool. (From here on out I'm going to only be talking about what my kids did because the other teacher dropped out of the project. he had 40 students and a lot going on. No guilt, no complaint. But I wanted the initial idea's credit to go to the proper place.)
We planned four dates out. First, Fortis would come into the classrooms and explain the project. Then they'd go away for a week while I led my students through the design of the benches. Rather than one bench it was decided that I would break my kids into eleven groups, each group would design their own bench. Then Fortis and a panel of experts would choose four of the eleven to actually build. Fortis supplied my students with basic parameters like how long the benches could be, how tall, how wide, and what materials they needed to use (wood only). Students were encouraged to get creative.
I didn't find out until much later than none of the other adults in the group understood what the students would be able to create. The Fortis guys actually thought the whole thing would probably go up in smoke. I mean, fourth graders creating benches? Really? And I understand this point of view, especially if you don't work with kids like we work with kids. You don't know what ten year olds can do unless you let them off the leash and the room has been built to allow that kind of thinking anyway.
My kids got to work on their designs. The next two Fortis visits were them coming in, looking at designs, and offering professional feedback. I didn't want to make it sound like they weren't invested in the previous paragraph. They were, they just didn't know what was possible. After the first pass through looking at designs they realized that not only would they be getting workable designs, they'd be getting deep, creative, thoughtful designs. And they went full-on, going group to group, offering advice, not stifling ideas. My kids went bug-nutty on it. Groups designed benches to look like panthers (our school mascot). A bunch of groups decided that a problem with the benches would be the rain or the sun, so they figured out how to engineer covers over their benches, going so far as to measure how tall they were sitting and standing and trying to figure out how tall a cover would have to be to work while not taking anyone's head off. When I say there was a billion different completely organic math problems involved in this project I do not use hyperbole. Kids sitting on yard sticks trying to figure out how many students could sit to one bench, kids stopping kinders in the hall to see where their knees bent so the bench heights would be 4th grader and kindergartner-friendly. The panther group put a tail on their bench design which wrapped around to the front and could act as a footrest.
I warned the groups that were going real big, like the groups with covers and tails, that I wasn't sure their designs were buildable, but told them not to hold back. Do it, ask for help from the pros, and let's see what happens. So they did, all with good measurements and specific blueprints.
Ah, blueprints. I make my kids plan everything they build, always have. Otherwise you end up with cardboard everywhere and nothing to show for it. But the Fortis guys showed them how to make useful blueprints, with three views and how those views work together and where the measurements went to be clear.
Then Fortis showed me one of their fanciest toys- a mixed reality headset. Mixed reality is different than augmented reality (as the guy in charge of that explained to me) in that AR is Pokemon Go, where something just appears in front of you but doesn't really react to the real world in any way. MR mean the program sees the space it's in an changes how the design is placed in the world. Here's the simpler version of that- The guy loaded up the high school's digital blueprint into the helmet and put it on me. Then I got to walk around inside a line drawing of the high school. The blue lines were the beams and the red tubes were ducting and the green squiggles were wiring. And as I walked around the room in real space a GPS in the helmet told the program and I moved around inside the blueprint of the high school. It was the freaking future, and it was cool as hell. They told me that before this program they had to really check all the drawing to make sure walls didn't meet weird or wiring went somewhere it shouldn't, and with this program they could just see where everything went before they built it.
So I went back to my classroom and showed my kids Tinkercad, a 3D design program that is free and you don't have to download, it runs right in your browser. I want to stress that I didn't teach my kids how to use Tinkercad. I used one computer lab day to point them at it, briefly show them "Look, you can make shapes and move them in space" and that was the extent of my instruction. Then I planted in their heads "Wouldn't it be cool if your benches were built in Tinkercad so you could see them in three dimensions and rotate them and stuff?" I did no Teaching. I showed, suggested, and moved aside.
Which leads us to the fourth and most important week of visits- The Pitches. To choose what benches to build we had the Fortis guys, plus their superintendent, my principal, my superintendent, and some other muckity-mucks come into my room and sit on a panel and judge each of the eleven presentations based on specific criteria. To prepare, three days before we did mock presentations and I gave very specific, detailed, Paul Hollywood-style feedback about presentation style, content, models, designs, everything. Then the kids rehearsed rehearsed rehearsed.
You have never seen a more prepared group of fourth graders. I have never seen a more prepared group of fourth graders, and I do a bunch of presentations every year. Authentic audiences and stakes matter.
Friends, I could not be more proud of how my groups did and how hard they made it on the judges. There was great speaking, there were designs on paper and in a 3D-computer generated space, there were reasons why the benches were needed and why their benches solved the problems best. There were all the design elements I'd mentioned before but polished and reasoned to a T. They killed it. I mean, it's one thing to impress your teacher, but it's another to Wow a roomful of strange, important adults.
Four benches were chosen, and Fortis set to work on the construction. In the meantime, my class was redivided into groups that were all about checklists- Quality, Safety, Security, etc. You see, the plan was to put them outside in our school garden. We'd even collaborated with the 5th grade class who was redesigning the garden so we were sure our bench designs matched their garden plans. So much collaboration and cooperation.
Thursday the benches were delivered. Unpainted, but built, and we got to do a Grand Reveal. They looked Amazing. Again, better than any one of the adults expected. (Except me, and I don't say that to brag. I just...knew. If Fortis followed the designs the benches would look great.) And this is where my kids had to learn another lesson. You see, the plan was for the wooden benches to be painted, purple and black mostly, and according to the designs. But the wood used is really nice wood, and it looks great. Some adults resisted the painting, saying it would be a shame to cover up the wood. I advocated for my kids and their designs. We got to design them, you do what you picked. I don't care that now it's prettier than you thought. I'm still not sure how that will shake out, but I'm hearing that there's a stain that will make the benches purple while still keeping the wood grain. When I put it to my kids they agreed that could be a compromise.
Just look at how beautiful those benches are. My kids did that. Fourth graders designed that. With directions, parameters, and help but not nudging, fourth graders planned, blueprinted, measured, and justified those benches into existence. The only thing they didn't do, and I wish we could have, was turn a bolt or cut some wood.
The other compromise was a disappointment to everyone but came from above my pay grade- it was decided that the benches look too nice to be left outside where eventually the elements or other humans might ruin them. But put inside they could be used and maintained, lasting for a long time. I was not happy with this- my students designed the layout of the benches to be a social area while also allowing for an outdoor classroom feel one adult (not me) was asking for. The kids pushed back on the idea of bringing the benches inside, understanding the argument but at the same time holding their ground and proposing all kinds of covers and ways to protect the outside benches. Alas, my children, sometimes decisions are made for us. So we got to pick where in the school the benches will be place instead. And, now that I've got some distance from it, this is the right call. The benches will last for a long time inside the school, and probably only four or five years outside. But still, it was hard to change a plan that had been in place since day one. There's a lesson there too.
There is a happy ending to this part, however. Fortis, being cool and righteous, understood our disappointment and agreed to build us four-to-eight cheaper, simpler, sustainable benches that could be placed in the garden. My kids wrote letters asking for that.
I cannot express the amount of work that went into this by the four or five Fortis guys who came into my room to help my kids, or by the district people, including my admin who supports me in all my madness, who helped guide this and make it possible. This sounds like a humblebrag and maybe it is (and if it is I earned it, damnit), but they gave me a lot of credit for setting up the classroom to be able to pull this off and for supporting the kids in all the way they needed to make this work. And I did do that. But what I really did was get handed a unique opportunity, crank it to eleven, and have faith that my kids could pull it off.
And I'm already trying to figure out how to top it next year.

The Madness of The End
We come, once again, to the end. With exactly a week and a few days of school left, the 2018-2019 school year doth draw to a close. The End is Nigh, as the guy with the sign screams as passersby. Unless he can't spell, in which case the end will be brought about by the sound a horse makes.
How do you close the year? I know how I do- By thinking of as many things I haven't gotten to do yet this year then cramming them into two weeks regardless of how long I know things ought to take. Also by forgetting to honestly reflect on the amount of work and learning that was done since September and instead focusing with laser precision on what was not done, not finished, not perfected, and not taught well enough. Mentally calculating how long it would take for me to write "It's not this child's fault, I didn't get to it" on 32 Post-It notes and sticking them on the front pages of The Folders. (By the way, literally the only time I look at The Folders is when they are given to me at the start of the year, and I place them ever so gently into a drawer, and at the end of the year when I remove them ever so gently from the drawer and insert the final report card, then hand it back to the office ladies who have been wondering where The Folders were this whole time because I once again forgot that I was supposed to take them, look them over, then give them back to the people who actually file things. I can't be the only one. Can I? From your silence I will take it you also do this. Thank you, dear readers.)
I end the year looking at the nine or so stories we still haven't gotten to in the language arts textbook (which I like because crap stories give me a chance to find ways to turn them into good lessons, and good stories are fodder for super neat stuff), and I let my students briefly look over them. Then I have them choose their Top Two Most Interesting Looking Stories from the remainders. We take votes and I break the class into four-ish groups based on which stories get the most votes, and I call it Final Story. The direction basically go, "You know what we've done with stories all year, with creative vocabulary things and looking at the main idea and all that? Do that with your story. Your groups will be presenting what you come up with to the class. When? Uhh...er...Friday?" Because I want to see what they think of when given the direction "Do what we did." What do you think we did all year?
Warning- This is not always a way to make yourself feel better about the stickiness of some of your lessons. But it is good for reflection. So there's that. Fun house mirrors are still mirrors.
We also build a ton during the course of the year, so of course we've going to finish with a build. A project which I've given the brilliant name of Final Design because, well, it's the final time they'll design something in this class. This comes with the wonderfully specific instructions of "Make a Thing. It must solve a problem of some sort. It must move. You must follow the design process." Oh yes, also, "It's due....er...Thursday-ish."
I allow conversations and lessons to get sidetracked much easier than they used to (and I'm not the best at this at the best of times). For example, part of the math I'm trying to cram in at the last minute is about length, liquid volume, and mass. Firstly, I love teaching volume because I will always make the joke of, "TODAY WE'RE GONNA LEARN ABOUT VOLUME! I REALLY LOVE TEACHING VOLUME!" until a student raises her hand and defines the proper type of volume for me. In fact, let's go with I do that whole shouty thing in order to get the kids to define it for themselves properly rather than because it makes me laugh every. single. time. Anyway, today we we're learning about mass, and I let myself get sidetracked into getting nit-picky about mass and weight not being the same thing, and the best example I can come up with to demonstrate that is talking about how on the Moon your weight would change but your mass would not. And if you give a teacher a chance to use space as an example, he's gonna want a YouTube video of astronauts walking on the moon. Once he shows a video of astronauts walking on the moon he's gonna need to talk about space and gravity in general. So he's gonna need a basketball, a baseball, and two volunteers to stand about 24 feet apart. And if a student is being the Earth he's gonna make that student gently rotate to demonstrate the Earth's rotation but also because how long will the student spin in place before asking to stop?
There's so much paperwork and madness at the end of the school year. Grading that has not been started yet and probably ought to be soon so it's not all having to be done in one day, because that always results in comments that read, "[Child name] was in my class well done have a good summer dont forget to read and math and stuff." that have to be changed right after pressing the Print button. There's the End of Year goals conference with the admin where we both have the best of intentions but let's be honest here, I kinda forgot what those goals are in the whole Teach All The Things maelstrom of the year and just looked at all that data again, but I will be happy to see that what I was doing did mostly positively impact the scores I set out to positively impact, and I'll feel justified in my Make Things To Learn philosophy because the scores that didn't go up like I wanted still went up. (I will also be filled with crippling self-doubt that my way might not be the best way and I should probably just teach like whatever my brain has decided a "normal" teacher teaches like because that would be better for my kids. Because teaching is fun.)
Oh, the end of the year is also the perfect chance to eye roll and wave garlic at Educational Innovators And Inspirational Peoples who will go on and on about how great teachers spend summers getting better and improving their practice and if you're not exhausted you're not teaching hard enough and your candle has two ends you wuss, why can't I see more smoke? These people are dangerous and bad for classroom teachers who really have earned some rest, relaxation, and non-teaching reading time.
We have reached yet another ending, my friends. We worked hard, we had laughs, we taught more than we know and they learned more than they realize. Relax and let yourself reflect on your own time, while your mind is distracted with other things. Unpack in dreams.
...oh crap, I still have to pack up my room for the summer painting.

McPherson High School Wrestling
December 9, 2018
With wrestling season here, the McPherson High School wrestlers are constantly training for their matches. The McPherson High school has a good reputation for wrestling and there is pressure on the wrestlers not to disappoint. Some students hope to earn a scholarship in the future and wrestling is something people live in breath in order to get better.
You have to be tune within yourself to wrestle good matches, this makes it a very mental sport. Sports can put a lot of stress on students, but it is how they mentally prepare themselves that matters. "Wrestling is something that very much affects how I think mentally and sometimes puts stress on me. However, it is honestly the best decision i've ever made. I truly love it, my team, and the coaching staff."-Riley Baker. Hearing from many students around the school, none think that wrestling is an "easy" sport. On the mat, it is said to be one of the most exerting sports and requires plenty of endurance as well as commitment.
Speaking to wrestling manager, Sophomore Jessie James, she said, "I decided to manage this year because I like the people who wrestle and I thought it would be fun because I did it in eighth grade. This sport is not easy, it's a lot of work and a lot of one on one. It's all yourself and you're not relying on someone else to do something. You use every muscle in your body, while in some sports you just use your upper body." Speaking to wrestler, Senior Miya Kretzer, she said, "I first started wrestling in seventh grade. Back then, I feel like it saved me from bullying and later it just became my passion. It isn't an easy sport but it depends on how much work you put into it. If i'm training for national events I practice three to four days a week, but if it is just high school season then five days a week."
This Thursday there was a match in Smokey Valley that resulted in a score of 66-9. Starting off good, Landon Crews tech falled his opponent which made him fifteen points ahead before the end of the six minutes in his match. McPherson over all had a total of 11 pins at the end of their match and they won both dules. They performed very well and only lost their last two classes. If Mac keeps this up they will have a chance at league.
Wrestling can be a very hard sport but coming together and participating as a team is an amazing experience. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, talk to some fellow wrestlers at the McPherson High School.
I love writing news articles and taking photos. Writing has always been one of my strong suits and I strive to become better at it as well as help those...

You know that there are a lot of things that you need to look at when it comes to dealing with what can occur after a car accident. Many times, you have to wait a bit before you can actually get your settlement payments. What should you do while you're waiting for your accident settlement payment? Here are three options that you should consider and work with so that the time you spend waiting isn't wasted.
- Look at Options for Pre Settlement Funding. We can help you to look at everything that is available in terms of pre-settlement funding for your case. We have a variety of options and can work with you so that you can get exactly what you need to be able to pay for things in a prompt manner. If you have a financial need that is immediate, talk to us and we will help you to work things out and be ready to go, no matter what you're dealing with after your car accident. Give us a call or use our contact form here on the site so that we can help you to get started with the process while you are waiting for settlement.
- Work with Companies to Ensure that Bills Won't Be Charged Late Fees. If you opt not to go with pre settlement funding, or you think that you are going to end up with more costs and bills than your settlement can cover, then be sure that you talk to the companies that are involved in your care or that you may have to pay for different things associated with your car accident. This could include hospitals, doctors' offices, car companies, and whoever else that you may have had to deal with after your car accident.
- Try to Take Care of Yourself. It can be hard, but in order to allow your physical and mental health to heal, you want to take some time for yourself. Be sure that you allow yourself time to relax and try not to worry too much if you can do so. Rest can be one of the best medicines when you're recovering from the problems that can occur as a result of a car accident, so take your time and be sure to take care of yourself while waiting for your accident payment settlement to come through.

Leadhome launches SA's first fully online bond origination business
JOHANNESBURG - Hybrid agency Leadhome on Tuesday announced the launch of South Africa's first, fully online and free bond origination business as it pursues its goal of disrupting the traditional real estate industry.
Bondspark will allow clients to get a comparative quote on a home loan by applying on behalf of their clients to all banks.

Romy Zwiers, previously Leadhome's head of marketing, has been appointed to build the Bondspark brand.
"I am passionate about brands that answer client's real problems and challenge the status quo," she said.
Zwiers said Bondspark would remove the need for filling countless forms when applying for home loans and would eliminate delays because of inaccuracies.
"Buying a home is one of the biggest financial commitments an individual will make in their lifetime and our vision is to make the process easier and more transparent for our clients," she said.

While doing some spring cleaning at the FNA Firehouse we felt that the Firehouse needed even more of a curb appeal, so we got a hold of our good friend Tony Weslund with Novel and Proper to help us out!
Tony has helped us out over the years with a bunch of projects! If you remember when I first got the Dung Beetle, it was Tony who came out to help us paint it!
Lou, with 405 Photo, had just come up with a new design for a highway sign, the Outlaw Highway 405! So we asked Tony if he would try his hand at painting the design on our garage door.
To celebrate the fresh look to the FNA Firehouse, we are giving away a FREE "Outlaw Highway 405" sticker with every order, from now until the end of this month!

Let's talk about Justin Bieber.
Remember over a year ago or so when I praised him and declared my adoration for this boy? It's not that I want to rescind this, but rather reevaluate and reconsider those statements.
Things change. People change. This is a fundamental truth of life, whether you choose to recognize it or not. It's really no surprise that Justin Bieber is not the same Biebs that I fell in love with a few years ago. He's grown up, he's gotten a lot of tattoos, he's become a total douchebag.
Yeah, I said it. Most of you are probably not offended or surprised by this. Frankly, I'm not either. In the past year the Biebs has been doing and saying continuously outrageous things. And it only matters because he's a celebrity in the spotlight, not some random. But that doesn't magnify or diminish his newly found doucher status.
The most recent example of this is spitting on his fans from a balcony and then laughing about it with his stupid little group of friends. One of my friends posted a picture of it on my FB and I replied with I can't respect that.
I mean, I don't know how to feel about this one exactly other than remember the scene in Titanic with Jack teaches Rose to spit like a man. It mostly just makes me feel uncomfortable I guess. Because just…why? You are not 5. You are not mentally ill. You are not God. WTF?
I don't feel like I can make excuses for liking him anymore. Because I don't think I really like him anymore. Deplorable behaviour cannot always be saved by good music.

Dan Dean understands the special needs of estate executorsEstate settlement is often stressful, but a very important job. As an executor, you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the deceased as promptly and respectfully as possible. You can count on Dan Dean to act expeditiously and with as much respect to the feelings of everyone involved.
We've shown that we're experts in providing the best appraisals that lawyers and accountants have come to rely on. There are required needs for everyone; we are sympathetic to these requirements and are acclimated to working with all parties involved. In our company, we are used to dealing with legal agencies in supplying appraisal reports that exceed their needs.
Settling an estate most often requires an appraisal to ascertain market value for the residential property therein. We know that in this time of loss, ordering an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. So, there's a chance the date an appraisal report is ordered will differ the date of death. Dan Dean assures that we are comfortable with the procedures and requirements needed by the federal and Pennsylvania revenue agencies to supply a retrospective appraisal with an effective date and market value estimate matching the date your loved one passed away. The ethical requirements explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) keeps our appraisers to confidentiality, providing the strongest degree of discretion for you and your family.
Many people do not understand that the IRS needs reports filed to express the numbers involved in estate sales.
Opinions of value displayed in documents provided to revenue authorities definitely should be backed by a comprehensive report as to how the appraiser acquired his conclusions. Such a report will definitely demonstrate to the authorities that the numbers used are accurate and substantiated.
Dan Dean ensures a substantiated report, which will give an executor clear facts and figures that will meet IRS and state agency requirements. You need not stress over anything, because Dan Dean will be there to stand by our appraisals if they are ever refuted.

Are you drowning in debt? What can you do? What could have you done?
Lets see some options to help you. Surely, these options can help you in your
time of need, now and later.
Consider the following scenarios: You, as a newborn baby, playing in your cot. You, as a teenager, playing video games with friends. You, as a middle ager, doing your taxes. You, as an elderly person, relaxing in the park. You surely know, how the final scenario can turn out.These are four scenarios most of us passes through.
What if the opposite turns out? What would you do? You can cry, though it may be foolish. Despair not, you can attempt other options for supporting your job search.Here is what you need to do : Do nothing: This is the easiest among all options, but pays your job search nothing at all.
Comfort: Some words of sincere encouragement and comfort can be highly beneficial to your friend. If you can not bring anything else, never be miserly of offering genuine words of comfort. This item alone has the can change his bad mood, specially if you are a close friend.
You have a life. It is up to you to choose as to how you want to live it.You can lead life like a nobody, one who has no clear purpose. Else you can be someone who is an aspiration for others to follow.
You are always busy, whether you are at work, school and any other places you are needed.Everyone is busy in their own work and perhaps nobody can help you out. As it stands, you have to complete all your chores earlier for your future appointment. You decide to attempt your chores one by one.
You routine must include proper breakfast,drinking at least a glass of water,planning your appointments,prioritizing emails, checking news and organizing.
Poverty is on the downside of wellness. I can ask myself what can poverty teach me? Undoubtedly, when I have less of something, I can truly understand the value of that tiniest piece. In this post, I will try to examine a few issues which can support poverty reduction.
You can not live without the top five essentials. The rest you can add as you feel.

Headlights Aren't Just So You Can See – They Can Help Prevent Car Accidents During the Day Too
Most of us have had the experience of driving along at night only to notice someone without headlights on; hopefully in time to avoid a car crash. Fortunately this isn't common and the person catches his mistake before he hurts anyone. However, it is common for people to use only their running lights or no lights at dusk, during storms, or in foggy conditions.
The problem is, there are circumstances during which the driver thinks he can see the road and traffic just fine, unaware that other people might have trouble seeing him. Failure to use lights in these kinds of circumstances can cause very serious accidents. If a driver fails to use his headlights properly and causes a car accident, that driver is likely to be held financially (and potentially criminally) liable for any harm that results.
Keep in mind, if your car has automatic headlights that run during the day, your taillights will probably not be on. You need to actually turn your headlights on during the day to make sure your taillights are on as well.
When Must you Use Your Headlights and Taillights?
The law in Pennsylvania requires that you use your headlights and taillights:
- Between sunset and sunrise
- Any time you cannot clearly see a person or car on the road within a distance of 1,000 feet. (Lack of light, rain, snow, sleet, hail, fog, smoke, snow, etc.)
- Whenever your windshield wipers are on
- In marked construction zones
Failure to use your lights under the first 3 circumstances can result in a fine of around $100 or more. In a construction zone the fine is $25, but you can only be pulled over for another traffic violation first.
Hurt Due to Someone's Failure to Use Headlights?
If you were injured in a car accident because someone else failed to use his headlights, you might be able to recover for your injuries. Give the Pennsylvania auto accident lawyers at Lowenthal & Abrams a call at 888-979-7298 to discuss your case. We will give you our honest opinion.

- For other uses, see Aleswell.
- Not to be confused with Fort Alessia.
Fort Aleswell is a fortification in The Elder Scrolls Online. It is located in Northern Cyrodiil, near Bruma.
It is one of the six keeps required to become the Emperor. By default, is it owned by the Daggerfall Covenant. Near the fort, there is a small town bearing the same name, Aleswell. The town has no residents, as they were all forced out when the Daggerfall Covenant seized the fort during the Alliance War. Some supplies can be found in the old houses, as well a note titled Waited as Long as We Could, describing when the soldiers forced them out.
- A Breton named Adrienne Panitte can be found near the farmstead here.
- Aleswell Eviction Notice can be found at the lumbermill.
- Akavor and his dog, Lehrjson, can be found at a farm to the west of Fort Aleswell.
- The lorebook Great Harbingers of the Companions is located here.
