DU2DS #8 and Sketch Saturday #52
The Dare You To Digi Stamp challenge this week was to create a boy card. I really thought this image from Squigglefly was just fun for a boy card. It was a blast to make anyway :). The design is inspired by the Sketch Saturday #52. I love using the bright colors for cards for boys.

Just Because!!
This card was a complete BLAST to make. I wanted to participate in the challenge at Incy Wincy Designs. The challenge is to make a card that represents me and my "style". I LOVE fairies and I LOVE stamps and I LOVE new things. So I figured inking up my brand new Victoria Case Hearts & Hugs stamp called Just Because would be about perfect :). I just love her and could hardly wait to play when she arrived. As for my "style" I don't know that I truly have one. People say I do and it would make sense, but honestly I don't see what it is. I just make things I like and I like this.
The other part of the challenge is to name the exclusive image they have available. I had absolutely no problem as she told me her name is Anne :).

Dare you to Digi Stamp - challenge 6
The week the challenge is stitching and gingham. I was originally a bit stumped because I do not have any gingham paper. I know, I know, as someone who has been scrapbooking for over 11 years I should have some in my stash. That said, I don't. It then dawned on my that I DO have lots of gingham ribbon! So here we are. The image is by BeccaKay and I think she is just as sweet as can be.
The other challenge this week was to actually mail out the created card and to send to a child sponsored by Post Pals in the UK. This is a FABULOUS thing and I am very excited to learn about the organization. What a wonderful thing-I would encourage ALL of you to check it out and send a card if possible.
I am sending this one to Samara M. She says she likes glitter and sparkles (so do I Samara!) so hopefully she will enjoy the card!

Sassy, bold and glamorous, an eCommerce site that's perfectly in tune with it's customers.
With a reputation for fantastic customer service and great value products, social media has played an important role in spreading the word and building a loyal and enthusiastic fanbase. This youthful, playful approach is perfectly in tune with the target audience. Sharing gossip, advice, beauty tips and promotions and encouraging customers to upload their own photos, has proved to be a brilliant way of building the brand. Up until recently, Lush had taken an ad-hoc approach to generating new materials, but as they have grown, there has become a need to better articulate the brand and give clearer definition to how the identity manifests online.
Playgroup worked with the team at Lush to build a brand that adopts the sassy, confident look and feel of a celebrity magazine. Feature pages adopt a flexible grid with hero imagery, a vibrant colour way and distinctive tone of voice. A range of funky graphic elements were developed to enhance or frame imagery and illustrate specific seasonal promotions. This visual language extends across Lush's social media channels to give a cohesive look.
From a user perspective it was essential that the look and feel extended across the full purchase flow, from product overview to checkout and in terms of eCommerce, it is particularly important that the site worked perfectly on all devices. The new website is currently being populated by Lush's in-house team, with elements of the design having already been adopted on their social media channels.

Education Essays - Education Students Children
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
Education Students Children
For the Children
When it was first initiated, the No Child Left Behind Act was intended to make schools accountable for the education of their students. This federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act was supposed to improve the quality of education for all children in the United States. This paper shows, however, that in many school districts, the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act has had the opposite effect. This is especially true for schoolchildren in rural areas. As a result schoolchildren, many with special needs, are increasingly left behind in rural school districts with worsening educational problems.
The No Child Left Behind Act, formally known as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, was signed by President Bush in 2002 thus creating it into law. The law gave each state responsibility over the performance of the students, periodically checking with use of standardized tests, thus improving the quality of American education. The federal government has set $58.3 billion in funding supporting this Act in the 2005-2006 academic year ("US Department of Education").
The goal for this Act was to improve the proficiency of student in subjects such as math and reading, by the 2014 school year. To ensure this, school districts would present a yearly progress report. This applied to every student including those with learning disabilities and students of English as a Second Language.
Schools that do not show progress or fail to present higher test scores will be subject to sanctions. The teachers as well as the principals of these schools will be replaced, removed, or suspended. Funding from the Federal government can be withheld from these schools. Additionally the state government has the power to take over underperforming schools with the No Child Left Behind Act ("US Department of Education").
The No Child Left Behind Act uses test given annually to adequately measure improvement. These tests are respectively administered to all children from grades 3 to 8. The results of these tests give educators a feasible goal to strive for. This type of testing gives the evaluators a uniform method of assessing the improvement in reading and math skills.
The NCLB Act is obviously built on good intentions. It recognizes the achievement gap" that exists between privileged students, the disadvantaged, and often minority students. After all, statistics have shown that American education is slowly being segregated according to ethnic, racial and class lines. This "achievement gap" is seen in the higher drop-out rates, lower graduation rates, lower SAT scores and generally poorer academic performance among minority children and children from lower-income school districts (Farkas). Unfortunately, many of these lower-income school districts are located in rural areas.
The No Child Left Behind Act supposedly addresses this achievement gap by monitoring the school districts' general performance through standardized testing scores. These tests measure knowledge in critical areas such as science, mathematics and reading. In schools with a large population of disadvantaged students, the law requires states to make yearly progress reports. Schools that have been identified as "needing improvement" will then be required to make "adequate progress" in a maximum of two years.
If no progress is made, then states will impose series of corrective actions, such as replacement of personnel. In many cases, schools where students fail to show improvements in test scores will lose federal funding. The disadvantaged students in underperforming schools will thus be given an option to use federal funding to transfer to higher-performing schools. This "choice" option allows students from an underperforming school to transfer to a school that is deemed as "better" (US Department of Education).
The NCLB Act uses several measures that places a heavy burden on school districts. First, districts are supposed to conduct Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) reports. These reports must show that groups such as the major racial and ethnic groups and ESL students, must meet "proficient" levels of achievement. These numbers will be determined on a state level rather than by district or county (Linn and Baker).
Second, the NCLB Act requires that all schools ensure that teachers are "Highly Qualified." NCLB requires that all teachers should have earned at least a bachelor's degree, and that they are certified to teach in their subject. They should demonstrate additional capability by earning a graduate degree or by passing a "rigorous" exam. The Act requires the school districts to keep parents informed of their schoolteacher's qualifications. The school districts should also let parents know if their children will be taught by an under qualified teacher, for more than eight weeks (Linn and Baker).
To address this problem of the achievement gap, the government has instituted reforms that put the responsibility of improvement on the educators themselves. The NCLB Act has increased the demands on teachers, in terms of their work and responsibilities. Teachers are also required to go through more tests and evaluations, and to take expensive courses to earn their certification (Steptoe). The NCLB Act also increases the amount of non-academic work that is required from school districts which are already strained by budget cuts and other requirements.
The NCLB Act requires all school districts to live up to accountability requirements and proficiency exams. Analysts have point out the difficulties these requirements raise for school districts in general. For rural school districts, however, the stakes are even higher. An estimated 25 to 30 percent of all schoolchildren in the United States attend public schools in rural areas (Reeves). This means that 49 percent of all school districts in the country, almost half, are classified as rural schools (Darling). These statistical figures include school districts with a less than 2500 student population and are generally located far outside metropolitan areas.
For schoolchildren, there are many advantages to receiving an education in a rural school district. Compared to their urban counterparts, class sizes in rural schools are in general much smaller. There is greater interaction between the administrative staff and with students.
Average enrollment figures in a rural school numbers 400 students, about 35 percent less than urban school figures where the enrollment averages 643 (Reeves). There is also a difference in the number of schools per district in urban and rural areas. While urban and suburban school districts can consist of hundreds of individual schools, rural districts are generally made up of one or two schools. There is also a lower teacher to student ratio in rural schools.
These characteristics have made rural education ideal for its resident schoolchildren however it has made it harder for rural school districts to meet the requirements of the NCLB Act.
Funding for school districts are largely-based on enrollment figures. This method poses a special challenge for rural and smaller school districts. Many rural areas are experiencing population flight, as more residents relocate to the suburbs or to cities. This flight only worsens the funding dilemma of rural schools, which additionally contend with a limited tax base due to under-population and poverty (Steptoe).
The smaller population, declining enrollment and limited tax base pose problems for rural school districts trying to recruit and retain teachers. Already, rural school teachers are paid, on average, 17 percent less than their counterparts in urban and suburban schools. Rural schoolteachers are also far less likely to receive even basic benefits, like medical and dental insurance and retirement planning (Steptoe).
Fulfilling the education requirements needed to maintain certification places added burdens on teachers. Rural educators point out given their population, rural teachers are expected to be flexible in their teaching areas. The teacher expertise requirements have negatively impacted on this flexibility. Many teachers have to drive over an hour to their workplaces due to the remoteness of many rural areas. The additional paperwork further lengthens the day many of these teachers spend away from home (Harriman). These difficulties make it difficult to attract or retain qualified teachers to rural districts.
There are also additional expenses that many rural educators and school districts are unprepared to shoulder. Graduate school courses and test preparations are expensive. In many rural school districts, teachers live hours away from the nearest university. Additionally, the NCLB Act generates a quagmire of required paperwork, which takes more time away from teaching. A rural educator also observes that "the only benefactors are big businesses that sell NCLB approved reading programs, and companies that produce testing materials or have been hired to take over public schools" (Harriman).
Using NCLB for student subgroups with disabilities poses an additional set of dilemmas for rural schools. Due to the economics of scale, rural school districts spend more per pupil in comparison to their urban and suburban counterparts. Arranging for special transportation for students with disabilities is already a financial struggle for many schools in these rural settings. Additionally, it is impractical for many rural school districts to hire specialized staffmembers such as counselors for the one or two students who show evidence of learning disabilities or emotional disturbance (Darling).
Many special educators have shown dissatisfaction with the assessment tools used by NCLB. While alternative test methods exist for students with disabilities, they are usually inappropriate for the grade level being assessed. One instructor claimed, "We're scoring kids on the developmental benchmarks for 5 year olds when many…are functioning at a developmental level of 6 months or less" (Harriman).
Even with its many limitations, many educators agree on the importance of using accountability measures for school districts and performance assessments for schoolchildren. However, NCLB is a poor tool for this goal. Many analysts and educators have proposed alternate methods for measuring these educational outcomes.
(Hager et al) for example, recommend assessment tools based on mastery rather than progress. This means that instead of measuring progress, the assessment tools should measure whether or not students master "useful skills." For example, if a problem requires several steps to complete, a mastery-based assessment would see whether a student can fulfill all the required steps towards arriving at a solution. Mastery-based assessments also have the additional advantage of being easier to standardize.
These inadequate assessment methods also have implications for teaching. Previously, teachers were able to vary their instructional methods and assessments in ways that best meet the needs of their students. The NCLB Act, however, takes this freedom away from educators and essentially makes it the command of government authorities.
Other educators go further and ask lawmakers to repeal the NCLB for a variety of reasons. Many believe that the NCLB is not a true assessment of academic progress. The tests do not assess true mastery of useful skills, such as a child's ability in reading comprehension. The bulk of the costs from disaggregating classes, hiring new teachers and fulfilling certification requirements for current teachers, fall on school districts or the teachers themselves (Harriman).
Others attack the administration for the unrealistic goals raised by NCLB. The law basically asks that test scores be increased by up to 100 percent, or the school districts get the blame. However, this level of improvement is not always possible, especially for children with disabilities. A child's difficulties in school can be caused by numerous factors, such as difficult childhoods.
The NCLB Act is basically a universal remedy, a program which does little to address the root problems that affect children. For example, Congress could work to address the inadequate salaries that make it difficult for districts to attract and retain educators. Since 1972, the salaries of teachers have failed to keep up with rising inflation rates. This situation is even more acute for educators in rural areas, where more out-of-field teaching assignments, fewer advanced course options and less experienced teaching staff (Steptoe).
Rural school districts have the potential to benefit from the NCLB Act, through higher accountability standards and standardized requirements. However, these school districts are already burdened by the lack of funding and the diminishing student enrollment. They are also facing difficulty attracting and keeping qualified teachers, who take on increasing responsibilities amid modest pay. The NCLB Act therefore sets up difficult dilemmas for school districts that are already struggling.
The NCLB Act has very noble goals to improve student learning and to make schools accountable for their students' progress. Unfortunately, the program has also generated numerous problems, especially for rural school districts. Inequality in education and the achievement gap are two issues that the NCLB Act does not address.
Because the Act focuses on holding individual schools responsible for test scores, it does not consider countless other social factors where problems like the achievement gap for disadvantaged students derive from. The result is a continuation of the current education system, where smaller and rural school districts are plagued by financial shortages, diminishing enrollment and a shortage of teachers. By proposing simple answers to a complex problems, the NCLB Act effects only cosmetic changes, while leaving the foundations of the educational problems intact.

text: RT Book, Whole DB /z-wcorg/ DS http://worldcat.org ID 731901686 LA English T1 Immunitas : the protection and negation of life A1 Esposito, Roberto,, PB Polity PP Cambridge; Malden MA YR 2011 SN 9780745649139 0745649130 9780745649146 0745649149 AB This book by Roberto Esposito - a leading Italian political philosopher - is a highly original exploration of the relationship between human bodies and societies. The original function of law, even before it was codified, was to preserve peaceful cohabitation between people who were exposed to the risk of destructive conflict. Just as the human body's immune system protects the organism from deadly incursions by viruses and other threats, law also ensures the survival of the community in a life-threatening situation. It protects and prolongs life. But the function of law as a form of immunization points to a more disturbing consideration. Like the individual body, the collective body can be immunized from the perceived danger only by allowing a little of what threatens it to enter its protective boundaries. This means that in order to escape the clutches of death, life is forced to incorporate within itself the lethal principle. Starting from this reflection on the nature of immunization, Esposito offers a wide-ranging analysis of contemporary biopolitics. Never more than at present has the demand for immunization come to characterize all aspects of our existence. The more we feel at risk of being infiltrated and infected by foreign elements, the more the life of the individual and society closes off within its protective boundaries, forcing us to choose between a self-destructive outcome and a more radical alternative based on a new conception of community. -- Publisher description.

Sometimes these guys think they can't use the bathroom and I have to be like You can pee in here. It's OK.
I'm a bit socially awkward.
Part of what we're having done includes replacing all of our light switches with those fancy "rocker" switches that look like this and have a little light in them so you don't break your face trying to find the light switch in the dark.
Which is great, because what we've got going on right now is what was installed during The Great Remodel of 1980, when wood and bronze were in style. I took a couple of photos yesterday so you can fully appreciate just how dated our decor is at the moment. I believe I have answered the burning question of How many bronze switch plates can one house have?!?! The answer: A lot.
Isn't this quaint? This one reminds me of one of our next door neighbor's house in 1986. Those were dark days.
Oh! How adorable. I suppose I could have cleaned this one off before taking a photo of it, but I preferred to demonstrate why metal switch covers are a really stupid idea. It looks like a petri dish of salmonella.
One word: AWESOME.
Ooooh! Old school textured switch cover! Delightful.
This is in the front bathroom. There's A LOT of this crap in the front bathroom.
For example, this matching outlet cover. It's a beaute.
Here's a gem! This is in the back bathroom. The whole bathroom looks like this switch cover had sex and gave birth to mutations of itself. It's a real delight.
One of the offspring. It's an off-kilter towel rack. Some day I am going to kill it.

2011 Barolo Bussia Giacomo Fenocchio
This Product is currently unavailable. Please check back later or contact us directly and we will endeavour to source it for you.
Average critic rating : 90.5 points
92Walnut, berry and milk chocolate character on the nose and palate. Full and chewy with round and soft tannins and a savory finish. Better in 2017. James Suckling. April, 2015. |
89The 2011 Barolo Bussia reveals an easy and fresh bouquet that openly defies the heavy, warm-climate characteristics of this often challenging vintage. Wines from the greater Bussia subzone performed consistently well in this vintage. The bouquet presents breezy aromas of wild berry, cassis and dried blueberry. Subtle spice and mineral tones are followed by good structure and intensity. This wine should continue to flesh out as it continues its bottle evolution. ||Claudio Fenocchio shows promising results and big quality improvements in this batch of new releases. His portfolio includes expressions from some of the most important vineyard sites in Barolo. This makes him a good go-to producer especially if you are a Barolo beginner. eRobertParker.com.June, 2015 |

Very quiet and nice stay in York
The location is fantastic and the apartment is really quiet at night. My brother and I had a fantastic stay at this apartment. The apartment is well appointed and spacious. Keren was really accommodating to make sure our arrival and departure was seamless. Great stay!
Lovely stay in York
The apartment was in a fantastic location, easy walking distance to all the places we wanted to be in York. The apartment itself was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for our stay. The owner of the apartment provided a great service and sent plenty of information with things to do in York.

Property is as listed - clean, well appointed, well maintained, and a great location
Being born in York many years ago, we needed a base to show off York and the surrounding areas to our friends from Cape Town. This was an ideal location. There was no need to use the car to see the city sites.
Property was well appointed, with all requirements thought about, and the secure off street parking was a great bonus.
The only negative comment would be, beware the second bedroom is rather small with bunk beds. But the main bedroom is good, and our friends found the sofa-bed very comfortable.
Well Located Lovely Property
Three generations stayed here for a weekend. The flat was well located, very clean and tidy and fully equipped. The bathroom and kitchen were of a high spec. Very comfortable en suite. Owner very accommodating and helpful.
Ideal for Exploring the City
This is a lovely apartment set inside a period house about 150 yards from Micklegate, it was perfect for us a family with 2 children. The fixtures and fittings are all done to a high standard and there is suffcient space to relax properly.
Once we had parked in the allotted space we didn't use the car again until we had to leave, everywhere was within easy walking distance even for our 7 year old!
There are a couple of handy supermarkets within 5 mins walking one into town the other on the way out.
We have recommended this place to anyone who has asked, when compared to the cost of 2 hotels rooms (for us) and parking this place offered good value and a much more relaxed and comfortable stay.
The property is as it is decribed, the owner was helpful and quick to respond, arrival time was flexible and easy to sort out, the property is clean and bright.
We would definately look to book again if we return to York
Activity and Interests
The apartment is situated in the Heart of York, close to river trips, museums, shops, restaurants, bars, local public transport, art gallery and theaters.
Visit the world famous Jorvik Viking Center or the award winning National Railway Museum - a must for visitors with children - walk around the Bar Walls, climb Clifford's Tower enjoy ice creams by the river.
A short journey away by car or bus, are the numerous attractions of North Yorkshire including the East Coast towns of Scarborough, Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay. The Yorkshire Moors and the Dales - all very enjoyable day trips from your base in York.
For the more adventurous take a Ghost Walk and find out the not so nice, ghoulish history of the city.
If you fancy a day at the races, coincide your visit with one of the race meetings throughout the summer. Contact me for more details.
All of these and much more less than 5 minutes walk from the apartment.

Isn't this room incredible?! I love that lamp and the distressed wooden cabinet. Everything is so marvellous. The velvet cushions on the couch look so luxurious.
Another lovely vintage cabinet in the hallway! Oh I love it all!
Doesn't it look great?! I think the little room with the brick floors is possibly the bathroom. I can't quite workout the layout of this apartment as this is from a very old post and couldn't find the plan information (sorry!)
This is the far wall of the living room. I LOVE that lamp!! I'm lamp crazy at the moment, the Scandinavian styles are my absolute favourite, vintage, not modern.
To see the rest of this apartment
A little girls room haven! How adorable is that little bunk bed for dolls?!
A little closet space for all the toys and boxes of 'stuff' that every room seems to accumulate in my house!
It's all very well made and to the very high standards of Alvhem Mäkleri & Interiörs!
This is a little space in the bedroom. Fabulous size wardrobe and a gorgeous little dresser desk. Is that the same lamp from the living room? Possibly a glamorous pair that has been separated.

Meridian Valley Lab is proud to offer a cutting edge laboratory test for the evaluation of prostate cancer risk.
Testosterone gives rise to important downstream metabolites. While 5α-dihydrotestosterone (5α-DHT) is well known for its role in exacerbating prostate problems, there is another metabolite that is emerging as a key influencer on prostate health. That metabolite is known as 5α-Androstane-3β, 17β-diol (3β-Adiol).
3β-Adiol is created from 5α-DHT, catalyzed by the enzyme 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD). 3β-Adiol does not bind to androgen receptors; rather 3β-Adiol is a potent stimulator of Estrogen Receptor-β (ERβ). In the prostate, 3β-Adiol's stimulation of ERβ prevents excess cell proliferation and stimulates apoptosis and re-differentiation. ERβ stimulation via compounded 3β-Adiol is an emerging therapy in the treatment of aggressive prostate cancer.
3β-Adiol is commonly deficient in men taking 5α-reductase inhibiting drugs for the treatment of BPH or male pattern hair loss. Click here for an in-depth discussion on the concerns of 5α-reductase over-inhibition.
Who should get tested?
- Individuals with a family history of prostate cancer or anyone concerned about their risk for prostate problems
- Individuals taking pharmaceutical 5α-reductase inhibitors such as Proscar or Avodart
- Individuals taking natural 5α-reductase inhibitors such as Saw Palmetto or higher dose zinc therapy
- Any man taking supplemental testosterone

Scripture Engagement Essentials
Display in alphabetical order | Display most recent first | Display most viewed first
August 29th – September 3rd 2010
Author: Edna Headland
"Praise God for this event where so many people from what Brazil calls the three waves of missions worked together. As one person reported, he heard expatriates, Portuguese MT Brazilians and indigenous people calling the event 'their forum'."
This is a report from the first Brazil Forum for the Use of the Scriptures in Indigenous Languages, which brought together 200 people, representing 59 ethnic groups and 32 organizations.
There were plenary sessions in the morning with group discussions following. In the afternoon there were workshops on topics such as Scripture Memorization, Use of Indigenous Scriptures in the family and eight other diverse topics. The evenings were for enjoying different ethnic music, hearing testimonies, and in general, having good fellowship. [more...]

It is important for all of the local churches to be increasingly implicated in the translation project for the following reasons: It ensures that the translated Scriptures will be used after the New Testament's publication, so that there will be a greater impact of the Holy Scriptures in the life of the Church.
The Cameroon Association for Bible Translation and Literacy (CABTAL) has a Church Relations department which seeks to involve local churches in the translation task from the very start of the project. It is their belief that the more the churches are involved in supporting the work, the more the published Scriptures will be used.
The August 2006 edition of CABTAL's "Scriptures Alive" magazine focusses on this part of their ministry, describing the many ways in which they are sharing the vision for Bible translation and Scripture Engagement: banquets, Sunday morning presentations in churches, speaking at general assemblies, attending New Testament dedications, visiting a Bible translation project, seminars at a Bible Schools and seminaries...

Are Canadians Done With The Bible?
Published by: Canadian Bible Forum and The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, 2014
The Canadian Bible Engagement Study, published on 1 May 2014, found that "about one in seven Canadians, or 14%, read the Bible at least once a week. The majority of Canadians, including those who identify themselves as Christians, read the Bible either seldom or never".
Since 1996, weekly Bible reading has declined by nearly half. People's confidence in the Bible as the Word of God has also decreased signficantly along with declining church attendance. Almost two-thirds of Canadians (64%) and six in ten of those who identified themselves as Christians agree that the scriptures of all major religions teach essentially the same things.
The survey showed that Canadians who are engaging most with the Scriptures have three behaviours in common: community (they are involved in a worshipping community), conversation (they discuss and explore the Bible with their friends) and confidence (they are confident it is the way to know God and hear from him).
View the video, download the executive summary and full report from the Canadian Bible Engagement Study website.
The study concludes with the message that "if churches are to strengthen the Bible engagement of their congregants, they themselves need to be convinced of the reliability, relevance, trustworthiness and divine origin of the Bible".

from Back to the Bible
Only God's inspired Word changes people's lives. That's a fact. It's also a fact that fewer people than ever know that the answers to their problems are contained in that dusty book on their shelves.
The Center for Bible Engagement exists to encourage Bible reading and Bible study; to not only equip the reader with biblical answers to life's questions, but to foster a biblical lifestyle as well. [more...]

Fuller Graduate Schools, School of Intercultural Studies Doctor of Intercultural Studies dissertation (2012)
This dissertation explores the missiological opportunities, challenges and implications of growing multilingualism among people who are fluent in two or more languages. I look at the cognitive value of language and how languages shape people's world views. World views influence peoples' perceptions and way of processing and understand information. People's beliefs are reflected in their character and relationships in the community. Christians want to promote positive community relations in order for people to participate in the mission of God within their community.
I survey relevant literature on the role of language and its value, how language fits the plan of God, and its place in His mission to different peoples. I then survey current trends of language use and growing multilingualism, and the language practices within Kenya. I therefore focus on research factors behind language choice and use.
Methodologically, I use focus groups, participant observation, and personal interviews in four different socio-linguistic contexts in four different Christian denominations. I thematically analyse and code the data to establish my findings. The findings point to the factors that influence language choice.
Factors that determine choice of language go beyond the level of fluency in reading, speaking or understanding. These factors involve attitudes that go very deep in both positive and negative ways. Additionally, people's language choices are influenced by other social factors. The factors include desire to communicate, social cultural pressure, economic advancement, political correctness, reading materials availability, leadership perception on language, institutional policy, religious values and proficiency in any given language. These factors were consistently displayed in all four research locations enabling me to demonstrate reliability of the data and validity of the findings.
Understanding how these factors influence people will assist Christians who desire to become good witnesses. To be witnesses, people need to be empowered. For purpose of language choice, all languages should be viewed as being appropriate for ministry. Language is a platform for effective participant contextualisation among the people of God. Through their actions and pronouncements people are able to utilize the multilingual environment of Kenya to better engage in mission and spread God's Word.

Huit conditions pour l'utilisation des Écritures

This is a 7-page summary in French of Wayne Dye's "Eight Conditions of Scripture Engagement". The awareness of the contribution of each of these eight factors can help in developing strategies to promote the use of God's Word.

Author: Martha D. Tripp
"This is what we have been looking for." As I heard these words coming from the Amuesha teacher/preacher as he taught the newly translated Scripture to his own people, I sensed this moment as a tremendous breakthrough for the Amuesha people to be able to accept the message of the gospel as the fulfilment of their own view of religion.
The author reflects on ten factors that contributed to the positive response of the Amuesha people of Peru to mother-tongue Scriptures. These are summarized as: fulfilment of existing religion; motivation to change; confidence in those presenting the message; relevance of the gospel message demonstrated by those who believe it; simplification of the gospel message in the early days for easier understanding; biblical instruction in the vernacular rather than the national language; encouragement and use of local leaders rather than outsiders, including the expatriate translator; adequate degree of fluency of readers; availability of translated Scripture even in provisional form from the early days; and a degree of church organization to give a permanency of opportunity for Scripture use.

Ideas for igniting a Bible reading revival one person, one church, one community at a time
What's the best way to read the Bible? Many people think it's something like getting up real early every day and intensely reading the entire Bible every year... But is the pre-dawn snow plow routine really the best way for everyone to engage with God's Word? Sure, it's a good method, if you can keep it up. But what if you can't? What if you aren't a morning person? Or what if you're new to the Bible? Or what if reading is difficult for you?
The Essential Bible Blog is written by Whitney Kuniholm, president of Scripture Union/USA. His blog entries are clear, positive and thought-provoking, motivating the reader to meet God in his Word. If the first few weeks of posts are anything to go by, this blog is one to follow for anyone involved in promoting Scripture Engagement. [more...]
Published by: Evangelical Alliance UK (2012)
Here's an evaluation of the 2011 Biblefresh year in the UK, a nationwide campaign encouraging people to engage with the Bible:
"Biblefresh was a major initiative involving 120 partner organisations, a significant level of resources was invested in it, and its aims were ambitious. Therefore, it was deemed essential that there was a rigorously evaluated. The evaluation was conducted by Theos Think Tank and highly commends the initiative. Biblefresh successfully enabled a wide range of churches, agencies, organisations and colleges to focus on the Bible. Individuals felt that Biblefresh increased their enthusiasm for, and confidence in, the Bible. The report also highlights lessons that can be learnt for the future and reminds us that when it comes to engaging people with the Bible, there is still a lot more work to be done." (EA, 2012)
On the Evangelical Alliance website you'll find a 43-page evaluation report together with videos of partners talking about what they learned from the year. [more...]

After few requests to post a tutorial about creating a velvet/suede fabric finish, I have managed to put something together.
The following tutorial works for both V-Ray and mental ray.
Also, check my New Book: 3D Photorealistic Rendering: Interiors & Exteriors with V-Ray and 3ds Max
One of the most distinctive characteristics of the velvet/suede finish is its soft textured effect with two contrasts that transcend across the entire surface. This effect is more noticeable on the edges/rim of the surface.
Note: This tutorial assumes that, the user has already applied a base texture to the diffuse toggle.
To source for a good velvet/suede texture, simply Google (image search): velvet texture
Alternatively, to find seamless high resolution textures, simply visit: www.arroway-textures.com
One should be able to find a nice high resolution texture under, suede category.
To emulate this material, simply do the following:
1- Go into your existing "Diffuse" map toggle first.
2-In the "Diffuse map" parameters, click on its "Bitmap" toggle to access the "Falloff" procedural map from the "Material/Map Browser" dialog. Double click to select it.
3-The "Replace Map" dialog should be prompted. Choose to "Keep old map as sub-map" and "OK" to close the dialog. The "Falloff parameters" should be loaded.
4-With the "Falloff parameters" loaded, one can clearly see its exquisite effects from the material slot thumbnail.
The next phase is to create two variations of the same material in order to emulate the previously described "finish".
The "Color Correction" procedural map is one of many tools that can help achieve that:
In the "Front: Side" group, click on the "Front" toggle to access its "Bitmap" parameters; followed by clicking on its "Bitmap" toggle to choose the "Color Correction" map from the "Material/Map Browser" dialog. Also, choose to "Keep old map as sub-map" option when the "Replace Map" dialog is prompted.
5- This procedural map offers a number of ways to control the texture. One of the most popular methods used by numerous companies is to scroll down to the "Lightness" rollout and enable the "Advanced" function.
Its parameters should come to life. Reduce its "Gamma/Contrast" "RGB" value to about 0.7 to darken its texture.
It's worth noting that, this value worked well for the desired effect. However, one can try different values, if desired.
6- The next step is to use the same procedural map for the "Side" toggle, with reversed effects (i.e. brighter texture).
To do so, simple go back to the "Falloff Parameters" by clicking on the "Go to Parent" button first. In the "Falloff Parameters", drag the "Front" toggle contents and drop it onto the "Side" toggle.
The "Copy (instance) Map" dialog should be prompted; choose the "Copy" option and "OK" to close the dialog.
The "Copy" option was chosen because its parameters will be later changed.
7- Next, go inside the "Side" toggle and increase its "Gamma/ Contrast" value to about 2.0.
Please note that this value worked well for the intended results. However, feel free to try different values, if desired.
8-Finally, to ensure that the falloff is visible on the edges /rim of the surface, simply change its "Falloff Type" to "Fresnel" and render the results.
The two 3D renders below depict the "Before" and "After" effects using the "Falloff" procedural map on the diffuse toggle.
I hope you have found this tutorial helpful!
NO "Falloff" procedural map being used
With "Falloff" procedural map being used
I hope you have found this article somehow useful!

London-based exchange has specified fines for various serious trading breaches
The London Metal Exchange, which has introduced in the past year an aggressive modernisation programme, has taken the unprecedented step of detailing the fines it will impose on members in the event of a rule breach.
The market, owned by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing, published on Wednesday "Guidance for members on indicative financial penalties" and detailed the indicative fines it will impose on members if they break some of its many trading rules.
The LME said: "Pursuant to Regulations 11.23-11.25 of Part 2 of the LME rules, this Notice sets out indicative financial penalties for members to be attached to certain offences covered by the LME rules."

A Sad Goodbye
I don't want to write this post, but I have to write this post. Charlie, our beloved Basset Hound, died yesterday. I have talked about the fact that he had an illness over the past year, but I haven't really posted much detail.
Charlie was diagnosed with lymphoma over a year ago. He had suddenly become very ill, and the prognosis wasn't good. Fortunately, we found Dr. Hodges, a veterinary specialist in Tulsa, and his quick treatment caused Charlie to go into remission, and he enjoyed a year of normal life and wellness again. When he first got sick, it took me by surprise and I just remember thinking to myself "I just want him to have more time on the ranch to be a ranch dog…" I'm so grateful that Dr. Hodges allowed that to happen.
Charlie only recently got sick again, and as it progressed, I prayed for the discernment to know when the right time would be. After all, how do you know whether a Basset Hound isn't feeling well? How do you know when a Basset Hound is overly lethargic—particularly one whose favorite hobby is sleeping on the couch? Basset owners, you know what I'm talking about.
Yesterday after church, it became very clear that the right time had come. Our wonderful local vet Dr. Jan, who has taken care of Charlie since he was a pup, came out to the house so Charlie wouldn't have to leave the ranch. It was peaceful and quiet, and since Alex is home from college, she got to say goodbye to him. I've sobbed off and on ever since, mostly because of all the good memories of the best dog a family could ever, ever have. He lived a full life out here with the cows and the rabbits, and I'm so grateful he was ours.
I feel a little funny writing much about this, because Charlie was a dog—and because there is so much human tragedy and sadness all around that this can't even begin to compare to. But anyone who's ever loved a dog understands that it's a special kind of loss—one that all dog families have to go through since dogs generally don't outlive us. And why is that? Ugh!
A special note for kids who loved Charlie: Parents, I'll let you decide what (and whether) to tell your kids about Charlie the Ranch Dog. It might not be necessary if they are younger! But here's what I'd like kids to know if it comes up.
And I'd like the rest of you to know it, too.
Charlie was a great ranch dog! He liked to work with Marlboro Man.
And boy, did he get a lot of attention.
Did you ever hear about the time we put Charlie up on the hay bales…
And he actually discovered he could fly?
(This will always be one of my favorite Charlie memories.)
Charlie loved football. Go figure.
He loved Little Smokies…(and bacon…and steak…)
He did NOT love baths—that is for certain.
(Charlie was not known for his pleasant fragrance.)
Charlie loved his brother Walter (even though he tried to act like he didn't!)
And again: He really loved going to work with Marlboro Man. The only thing that could always get Charlie to wake up and hop off the couch was the sound of Ladd's spurs walking toward the door to go outside.
Ladd loved Charlie so much.
In fact, everyone loved Charlie!
All the kids and the cousins loved him…
We have such wonderful memories of Charlie, and they will live on forever and ever. We are very sad he is gone and we will miss him, but we are so happy we got to have him as long as we did. And we are happy he is at peace now.
Thank you all for loving Charlie right along with me.

A tour of Stirling, Scotland, today. Spent a couple of hours at the Stirling Highland Games. The band shown at the games is the City of Brechin Pipe Band, from Brechin, Angus, Scotland. The band's history can be traced back to a meeting of the Brechin Town Council on the 20th June 1688, where entered in the minutes, John Wyslie was elected town piper. The Pipe band was then formed from a volunteer detachment in 1884.

Rift 3.0 new souls and features revealed in livestream
Latest developer livestream confirms what's coming in the Rift 3.0 expansion: New souls, companions and other cool stuff.
Rift developer Trion Worlds recently hosted a livestream on Twitch.tv where it confirmed some of the new souls coming in the new expansion. The Rift 3.0 new souls include the Support Cleric which will function as a full support such as the Bard. Also being added to the soul roster are the Healing Warrior, Tanking Mage, and Healing Rogue, the last of which will have true healing.
Companions are also set to play a much bigger role in the recently made free online rpg. How so? Companions will be able to gain levels and learn abilities. Some observant fans have noted that the expanded companion system shares similarities with the Pet Battle system in World of Warcraft, but it is too early to conclude until the fuller teasers roll out in the coming months.
Rift 3.0 also promises very extensive item advancement. Players will be able to create more customized weapon and armor gear, and shape the items to their specific souls and roles.
Also hinted at during the livestream is that the Rift 3.0 update will venture into the plane of Water, including but not limited underwaters zones and dream worlds. There are also slivers of hints dropped that player made dungeons may be coming to the mmorpg.

The aviation ministry has turned down a request from the BSP government in Uttar Pradesh to allow chief minister Mayawati to be driven right up to the tarmac at all civilian airports in the country.
Mayawati enjoys the facility at all airports in UP by virtue of being its chief minister but the aviation ministry is of the view that she does not need the privilege across the country.
The UP government's request cited security threats to Mayawati, sources said.
"CMs, while travelling in other states, are anyway provided a vehicle by airport operators right up to the tarmac," an aviation ministry official said.
"Moreover, any security threat has to be analysed by central intelligence agencies. After consultations with other agencies, we decided that no exception should be made for the UP chief minister," the official said.
