Our knowledgeable Languages Department have put together a great selection of books, to help share the magic of reading in every language. Here are their choices for Japanese, Chinese and Arabic.
A Chinese Phrase a Day
This calendar like desk companion is divided into monthly topics and builds upon itself, one day at a time for 365 days. Each page includes four components: the simplified Chinese characters; the romanized Chinese (hanyu pinyin); the English phrase; a related cultural note to put the phrase into context. Audio for all of the 'A Chinese Phrase A Day' entries is available online. A great gift for learners of Chinese that will last them for a whole year.
Heaven Kid
Di Zi Gui (Heaven Kid) is a book and DVD adapted from the teachings of Confucius; a child-specific version teaching the essence of Chinese culture. Introducing Heaven Kid, an original character animation that will help children learn Chinese and understand the culture of such a vast country.
Wild Swans
Through the story of three generations of women in her own family – the grandmother given to the warlord as a concubine, the Communist mother and the daughter herself – Jung Chang reveals the epic history of China's twentieth century.
Tales and Traditions vol.1
Tales and Traditions was specially created to help learners of Chinese, by collecting adaptations and selections from the most well-known works in the Chinese literary and folk canon in a series of convenient supplementary readers.
ShaoLan Hsueh has created a simple system for quickly understanding the basic building blocks of the written Chinese language.
Working with renowned illustrator Noma Bar, she has developed a unique set of illustrations that are engaging and delightful. The books main section introduces the radicals, the key characters on which the language is built and reveals how they can be combined to form a wealth of more complex words and phrases. In fewer than 200 pages, readers of all ages will have made the first steps towards a genuine appreciation of Chinese characters.
My Grandma Nafeesa
Majid's parents are too busy to stay at home with him today but he doesn't mind – he knows he will have a wonderful time with his grandmother Nafeesa who is energetic, fun and always full of exciting surprises. Not only is this award-winning book of lovely, intricate drawings of typical Arab home and street scenes, it offers a positive representation of older people and honours their importance in children's lives. Our most popular Arabic children book this year.
The Mystery of the Falcon's Eye
When seventeen-year-old Ziad comes across an intriguing mystery about his family and their past, he is determined to solve it. With the help of his sister and his friends, he begins a journey full of danger and adventure in which he learns a lot about himself and his roots. This is a rare gem of an Arabic young adult novel - entertaining and fast-paced with some genuinely tense moments but also dealing with serious subjects such as displacement, family responsibilities and the importance of not forgetting where you came from.
Children of the Alley
The great-granddaddy of Egyptian fiction, this epic is possibly the most famous and definitely the most controversial novel ever to be written in Arabic. After its publication the author was stabbed in the neck by an assailant reportedly incensed by his allegory of the Abrahamic prophets and the tyrannical, distant master whose blessings they desperately seek. Despite this, the book is less an attack on religion than a lament about the cruelty of patriarchy and life in an authoritarian state. It's not exactly an easy read, but well worth the effort.
In rural Kyrgystan during World War Two, the lonely and restless Jamilia, whose indifferent husband is fighting at the front, meets Daniyar, an eigmatic stranger recently returned from battle. As much a coming of age as a love story, it is narrated from the unusual perspective of Seit, Jamilia's teenage brother-in-law whose job it is to watch over her. Torn between his duty to protect his family's honour and his joy at the way Jamilia and Daniyar make the world come alive for him, Seit describes their forbidden relationship and the beautiful but unforgiving environment in which they live with sparse but unforgettable detail. A gorgeous and unique little book.
A Thousand and One Nights
When the evil King Shahryar decides to marry a new wife every day then have her killed the next morning, courageous Sheherezade resolves to step up and put an end to his reign of terror. After volunteering to be his latest bride, she beguiles him each night with a series of intricate and unending tales, including Sinbad the Sailor, Aladdin and Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. But can Sheherzade win over the crazy king and save her life? A beautifully illustrated retelling of the ancient folktales, aimed at older children.

11 - 5 Cutting Global Population Growth
In 1994, The United Nations held its conference on population and development in Cairo, Egypt. One goal is to stabilize the world's population at 7.8 billion by 2050, instead of the projected 10-12.5 billion. The major goals of the 20-year plan endorsed by 180 governments- are by 2015 to:
Even if they wanted to, most countries could not afford implement most of these goals. But, Japan, Thailand, , South Korea, taiwan, and china, have shown that a country can reach replacement-fertility level in 15-30 years. A mix of these factors must be tailored to each country's situation.

I manage a website using a Windows Hosting account for a volunteer organization I am a member of. We have started to communicate with our members via email. We send an email to all members about once a week. Over time, we hope that the number of people and groups that sign-up for these email messages will grow. The question is: How many emails at a time can I send before I bump up against some limit?
Hey @pauls,
If you are using email to keep up to date with a growing number of members perhaps directly emailing is not the ideal situation? I'd advise you to check out a GoDaddy Garage article Top 10 reasons GoDaddy + Mad Mimi is awesome (for you). I have used Mad Mimi before and found it to be wonderful. Of course there are other email newsletter services like MailChimp, ActiveCampaign, Constant Contact... Some of those services have free to start plans or free plans for certain sized groups.
I think that establishing a method now that can grow with you might be the best thing to do right now? You will undoubtedly find other benefits like tracking campaigns beyond the ease of managing lists? Please come back and let us know what you decided to do. I hope that helps?
roy darling *my posts seem a lot shorter in my head
I would like to ask what are the limitations of per hour or per day if I send bulk email using a third party software and SMTP server is godaddy.
and how many maximum connections i can have at a time with godaddy smtp server

Chartwell supports The Tomorrow People at Adam Art Gallery, Wellington
by Sue on 26 July 2017
The Chartwell Trust is supporting the exhibition The Tomorrow People, at Adam Art Gallery, University of Victoria, Wellington, NZ.
Featuring the works of 25 artists, the exhibition focuses on an emerging generation of artists and their hopes, concerns and questions
about the future. Director of the gallery Christina Barton, who is one of three curators of the show, says they have selected artworks
that offer insights into the fraught nature of our current situation, typified by financial and job insecurity, fluid identities,
micro-subcultures, mass communications and an inherently fragmented society.
The exhibition includes a short film by Tim Wagg, commissioned with the support of The Chartwell Trust for its first exhibition at Artspace
Auckland in 2016. Link here to the Artspace exhibition
New Perspectives 2016
Tim Wagg, 1991, 2016, single channel HD video, 12:00mins
The Tomorrow People's co-curator Stephan Cleland notes: "Tim Wagg's short film 1991reflects on New Zealand's political and economic history to explore the legacy of ideologies that promote individualism. "Wagg's video features a soundtrack of his interview with former Finance Minister Ruth Richardson. Of course, Richardson is largely remembered as the author of the 1991 'Mother of All Budgets' that slashed welfare spending and promoted the hard-line belief in enabling the free play of market forces. Wagg, born in the same year as this Budget, allows Richardson to reflect on her thinking, yet positions himself as querulous about its consequences."
Green Party candidate Chloe Swarbrick opened the exhibition.

Before my family moved, my girlfriend and I went to visit the town where I used to live: Glen Burnie, Maryland. We went to the local Super Walmart where my brother once worked as a cart pusher. Brenda looked at me with a fierce confusion in her eyes and said, "this feels truly miserable."
I believe that when you're in a circumstance like corporate America where you don't have regular public spaces, adequate public transportation, or community-centered arts and culture, you don't necessarily know what you're missing. Perhaps I just didn't like living in Glen Burnie. But there's something to it. The United States is becoming a wasteland of abandoned businesses and houses/buildings constructed for profit with little regard to how people will feel about the environment in which they live or work. This isn't a new concept: It's capitalism.
So why can't I stop complaining? I'm one of the lucky ones. I now live in an awesome city, right?
Not only do I live with the anxiety of growing up in wasteland after capitalist wasteland, here in Boston we are also under attack. For example, today I attended the 3rd annual Allston Do it Yourself (DIY) Festival. This festival has a great line up of music, group discussions, skill shares, artists, and zine makers, and it's all free (unless you spend 5 bucks on a T-shirt like I did but even that goes to support a local artist).
I spoke to one of the main organizers who explained how an organization called the Allston Village Mainstreets (AVMS) has wanted to take over this event and charge each person 25 dollars to enter. AVMA has discussed this possible take-over "under the table," so it cannot be found in their meeting's minutes. The website describes AVMS as a local non-profit organization that works to make Allston Village a better place to live, work, dine, shop, play, and own a business. The Main Streets' programs are funded by the mayor's office, so that's your tax dollars going to fund a program that can turn around and take advantage of you, transforming a free community-wide event into a for-profit industry that brings in outsiders willing to pay the higher price.
Thankfully, the nonprofit, The Parents and Community Build Group, Inc that organizes and fund-raises for this event is committed to keeping the DIY festival a community focused event that remains free and open to the public. In order to ensure this mission, the Parents and Community Build Group, Inc had to go through a legal process of trademarking the event so no other group could take it over for profit.
The fact that community groups and passionate activists have had to fight so hard to protect our ability to come together freely in the park without being branded consumers is a sad sign of the despicable nature of capitalism. In Ecology and Socialism, Chris Williams explains that:
"Since capitalism's survival depends upon the endless expansion of markets for capital and consumer goods, we are inundated with the ideology of consumerism; democracy is equated with the freedom to buy and every possible opportunity is taken to ensure that this message gets rammed home."
Folks this is a Do it Yourself festival, run by and for people who tend to have anti-capitalist leanings (at least this is my general impression of the people today) Yes, we still buy corporate products. We have to. That is the nature of the capitalist system. Yes, we also have longings for greater freedoms and sometimes a festival like this gives us the opportunity to explore a little taste of what could be.
This should be a lesson that our public space, our freedom to assemble, and our vitality within our own communities is under constant threat and attack by the crazed economic system. This is why I am a radical leftist to the core. Yes, I moved to Boston for a better quality of life. To some extent, I escaped some of the misery that I felt growing up as a brooding poet but as the saying goes, "Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere." Just because I haven't shopped at WalMart in the last three years doesn't mean I am free from the widespread absence of non-corporate community space. I am one of the lucky ones, but I am not satisfied, and I will not be silenced in this frustration.
I love this perspective that Williams puts forward in Ecology and Socialism:
"What constitutes a good quality of life? A rational answer would surely include: adequate and nourishing food, access to high-quality housing, efficient and accessible public transport, clean air and water, lots of green space, aesthetically pleasing architecture and town planning, creatively rewarding and dignified work, and most importantly, the free time to enjoy all this and engage in a full range of sporting, leisure, and cultural activities."
If you have these things, they are at risk of being taken away (unless you're one of the super rich). And if you don't have these things, I'm not surprised because even in a city like Boston, even in a festival like DIY, people are not free from losing what we have. The solution, you ask? I met many amazing leaders today who have an invaluable effect on life in Allston/Brighton. To all of you, I say never give up. Keep fighting. Never forget to witness your own oppression. As unreal as corporate America makes you feel, you are so real, so alive…

Published November 20, 2015
A senior Pakistani security official says gunmen riding on motorcycles opened fire, killing three security troops deployed outside a mosque in a residential area in Pakistan's largest city, Karachi.
Maj. Gen. Bilal Akbar, the director-general of Pakistan's paramilitary Rangers, says a fourth Ranger was wounded in Friday's attack.
Akbar says the Rangers were inside a vehicle that was parked near the mosque when the assailants opened fire. In comments to local media, he says the attackers likely sought to target the mosque or a nearby seminary.
Karachi is capital of Pakistan's southern Sindh province and has been the site of frequent militant attacks in the past.

This blog post is contributed by Srihari Kulkarni, a Senior Staff Software Engineer on the IBM Worklight team.
Let me begin with a no-brainer: Do you think that enterprise mobile apps must be secure? The answer, without batting an eyelid, is yes. So, what are the challenges in securing mobile apps? Are they different from other enterprise software? If yes, are the solutions different?
If you're looking for answers to the above questions and more, you've come to the right place. In this post, I will provide a layman's guide to understanding how IBM Worklight addresses the security problems that are unique to mobile.
The challenge-response design
A typical mobile app will have a client-side component that frequently accesses server-side resources. For example, a banking app could get crucial information such as account balance or the status of a fund transfer from the server. Or it could even send commands such as a money transfer instruction to the server. To ward off spurious and malicious requests, IBM Worklight employs a challenge-response design to authenticate requests coming from an app.
For every request coming to the IBM Worklight Server, it challenges the app with a preconfigured set of challenges. These challenges could be in any form—a username and password combination, a hash of a secret key (usually a secret password is not sent over the network but instead hashed into something else) or even the output of a fingerprint scanner. The app must respond to the challenge in a satisfactory manner, failing which, the app is denied access to the original request.
Security tests
At the heart of the challenge-response design of Worklight is a concept known as a security test. A security test defines all the protection mechanisms that are employed on a server resource to prevent unauthorized access. Apps, adapters and event sources can all be protected by security tests.
Authentication realm
Every security test is comprised of one or more authentication realms. Each realm is designed to handle one particular type of security threat. For example, the anti-XSRF realm is designed to ward off cross-site scripting threats. Therefore, a combination of multiple realms in a security test can effectively block all unauthorized access to a server resource.
Authentication and login modules
Each realm consists of an authentication module and a login module. These are server-side units, which, put together, have the responsibility of validating data provided by the client app in response to a challenge. For example, a realm might request a username and password from the user. The authentication and login modules have the job of validating the username and password from a database or a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server.
Challenge handlers
All the terms explained so far reside on the Worklight Server. The apps require some logic on the client side to make sense of the challenges posed by the server. Challenge handlers fill in this gap. They have the responsibility of responding adequately to challenges posed by the Worklight Server. For example, a realm that might request username and a password will have a client-side counterpart in a challenge handler that will present a form to gather the username and password from the user.
This is an introductory post on the terms used in IBM Worklight with respect to security. Stay tuned for my next post about Worklight security, in which I plan to discuss how to put these concepts to work. You can leave a comment below or reach me on Twitter @kulkarni_.

National Museum, Bloemfonteinan agency of the Department of Arts and Culture
Few people know that approximately two thirds of all mammals (i.e. 66% - not the number of individuals, but the number of species!) are of the other kind. The kind that we often overlook when travelling, sight-seeing, hunting, taking wildlife photographs...the kind that we disregard when planning game reserves/ranches, or calculating stocking rates... small mammals!
Small mammals have been identified as valuable indicators of the health of grasslands. They react rapidly to habitat change, have small home ranges, are reasonably easy to catch, handle and study, and we already have a fair understanding of their general biology. Good quality habitat contains a high diversity of small mammals, while in disturbed or damaged habitat certain species dominate.
Visitors to our Departmental mammal reference collection are amazed to see how many different kinds of mice there are ... even more so when told of the densities of these creatures in their habitats. The four-striped mouse, for example, may occur at densities of > 200/ha (compared to 1 Large Stock Unit/8 ha), whilst sharing their environment with five other mouse species!
Indigenous species are independent of man and, unlike the exotic and commensal house mouse and house rat, very few of them are found close to human dwellings; a fair percentage of these species are solitary. Most of the mice and shrews spend almost 100% of their time in dense vegetation and are regarded as secretive. Furthermore, three species spend 99.9% of their lives underground, while two species spend most of their time in disused termitaria. Approximately 49 mammal species (60% of small mammals) are nocturnal or predominantly nocturnal. Taking all these factors into account, it is therefore not surprising that our indigenous mammal fauna appears more than 50% "poorer" to the average citizen.
Today we know that these small mammals are excellent indicators of ecosystem integrity (the health of the ecosystem). The following factors can give an indication of ecosystem integrity:
It is, however, the combination of the above that sketches the full picture of the integrity of the ecosystem. The better the integrity, the more resilient and resistant (stable) the ecosystem – which, in itself, may ensure higher, sustainable primary productivity and thereby directly influence the stocking rates of farms, game farms and nature reserves.
Small mammals have diverse morphological adaptations to their environments. The relatively flat head of the dormouse enables it to enter even the narrowest of cracks, whilst the long, prehensile tail of the climbing mouse allows it to sit high on a grass stalk, freeing its "hands" to obtain seeds. Other small mammals use their long tails for balance when moving through treetops. The bipedal gerbil and the springhare of open areas rely on their relatively long legs to carry out fast hopping movements when escaping from predators. The long snout of the elephant shrew and the large ears of the bat-eared fox help them to locate prey, whilst the large ears of the large-eared mouse help it to evade predators. The long vibrissae and bristle-like hairs on the fore and hind feet of the common molerat may serve as feelers in their dark burrows. Does the African weasel use its striped pattern to "mimic" the appearance of the smelly polecat, or is it simply an effective camouflage similar to that used by the diurnal striped mouse, some skinks and grass snakes? What about its short legs? Do they allow this predator to effectively follow rats and mice into their burrows?
Did you know that one adult multi-mammate mouse (and her daughters) may potentially produce > 1 000 offspring in a 9-month breeding season, compared to the approximately 200 offspring of most other species? This mouse has 12 pairs of mammae and can raise more than 20 young at a time, compared to an average of six young in the similar-sized striped mouse. It also has a shorter gestation period and has its first litter at a younger age; as a result, this species is able to quickly recolonise an area after natural or anthropogenic disturbances, temporarily dominating the small mammal fauna.
Furthermore, did you know that the total weight of mice in a 1 ha area of grassland may amount to 5 kg (compared to the approximately 50 kg/ha of large stock); taking into account their relatively high metabolism, mice may be responsible for > 15% of the vegetation consumed by all mammals. Luckily (for us) mouse numbers drop dramatically (probably up to 60%) between the end of autumn and the end of winter. This drop is mainly caused by a shortage of food and social stress. Population numbers start to increase again with the appearance of new shoots after winter and reach peak densities at the end of autumn.
Traditional healers, for example, believe that if one buries a shrew near someone's house, that person will be cursed. It is also believed that if you sprinkle the powder of a fruit bat over a jealous wife's food, she will develop tunnel vision (or will be cured of her problem!).
Otomys sloggetti, the "ice rat", is endemic to the high Maluti and Drakensberg mountains and is well adapted to the very cold conditions experienced in those open environments. Physically its relatively round body shape, short limbs and tail maximize the retention of heat. Like the other Otomys rats the body is covered in a thick blanket of hair and behaviourally it is strictly diurnal - its sun basking behaviour has led to its Sesotho name "Tadi ya maqwa" (≈ "the little old man of the snow").
The Greater canerat, Thryonomys swinderianus, is bred and sold as a valuable protein source over its entire distribution area in Africa. It is also known as an agricultural pest in the sugar cane plantations of KwaZulu-Natal. Since the mid 1980s this mammal has infiltrated the Free State Province from the east (first Museum record – 1985, Reitz district), and was recently found on a farm c. 20 km west of Bultfontein; a westward increase in distribution range of 300 km in 18 years!

A day after the RBI said that 99.3 per cent of the demonetised currency has returned to the banks, NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Rajiv Kumar on Thursday said the objective of the note ban exercise was not to have a large number of unreturned Rs 500 and 1,000 notes but to encourage digital payments and reduce cash transactions.
"Who said the aim of demonetisation was to get back less money? Demonetisation has impacted the markets and market psychology," Kumar said.
"How many cash transactions used to take place before demonetisation, and what is the position now?" he said. The government has maintained that the physical currency in the system at present is much less than what it would have been if demonetisation had not taken place.
Economic Affairs Secretary Subhash Chandra Garg had said on Wednesday that had the physical currency grown at the same rate at which it was growing before demonetisation, there would have been some three to four lakh crore rupees more in the system at present.
The RBI's annual report 2017-18 said that on completion of the process of verification of the scrapped Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes, it was found that the total value of the demonetised currency returned to the banks stood at Rs 15.3 lakh crore, which amounted to 99.3 per cent of the Rs 15.4 lakh crore worth of such notes in circulation on November 8, 2016.

Skewered – Deathmethyltryptamine Review
Friday, October 21st, 2016 at 11:32 pm
Skewered – Deathmethyltryptamine Review
Dublin based Skewered have released their second LP "Deathmethyltryptamine" and not only is it nigh on impossible to spell. It's also one of the best Death Metal albums of 2016 in my humble opinion.
I've been aware of the band now since 2013 and while I appreciated their previous work, nothing prepared me for this! I really can't emphasise enough how good this album is!
The LP is 12 tracks long and at no point do you ever even consider skipping a track or turning it off. It's full of everything a top class Death Metal release requires. Amazing drumming. Incredible lead guitar work. Hooks everywhere. This really is an immense release!
The lads are now signed to LA based Stillbirth Records, so hopefully this association will aid them in regards to international growth and exposure.
This is hands down one of the best Death Metal releases of 2016!

Tea on the Lawn at the Mill of Kintail
On that day, the sunny tables were occupied, so we sat in the slightly chilly shade. However, Sue is seldom chilly, so it was all good.
For five bucks you can have either tea or lemonade plus a plate of yummy loaves. It's less for kids, and you can also order the beverages separately. But why would you?
After tea, we took a stroll. It was a little buggy, and we weren't dressed for hiking, so we kept it short. As per usual, I looked around for photo subjects.
In the above photo, I was probably taking one of these shots. ↓
Before leaving, I snapped these flowers by The Cloister. With a low depth of field (done purposefully), you can't really see the building, but it's there.
They haven't finished upgrading the kids playground yet, but we have a little while before we will have a couple of weeks with the kids in August. We usually do a picnic there, let them play on the equipment and also in the Indian River, which is really low this year.

One of the remarkable shows of the first fashion week day has definitely been the one signed by the Italian-Belgian designer, Anthony Vaccarello.
Cité de la Mode et du Design hosted theVaccarello Spring/Summer 2012 presentation. The location is predestined to creative experiments since the place is the origin of the most innovative ideas begotten by the "Art" students. And Vaccarello's collection may be said to have been an experiment too.
The designer seemed to have simply lost himself into cutting his clothes, revealing magnanimous cleavages of indecent sensuality. And if some pieces escaped his adroitly cutting hand, then, he directed his sharp scissors to the slits of the dresses. Not even gravity could oppose.
The cuts on one leg were taking a hazardous climb up quite close to the waist, making the models of the show look like genuine felids walking in swaying moves.
An exercise of unique clippings performed in the workshop to be turned into an exercise of sheer boldness before the mirror in the wardrobe. Fluid one-colour dresses were offset by tops accessorized with unbending metallic straps working both ways: aesthetically and functionally.
As for the prints, the designer tells us that next season we are going to live under the python skin's dictatorship.

Advent Devotion for November 29
Part of our Advent Devotion series, written by Dr. Dan Sharp, Minister of Worship. (Subscribe)
In lighting the candle, the candle lighter says: "The 'seed of the woman' was a direct line to the seed of Abraham."
SCRIPTURE: Genesis 12:1-3
The Lord had said to Abram, "Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father's family, and go to the land that I will show you. 2 I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. 3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you."
SCRIPTURE: Galatians 3:8-9
8 What's more, the Scriptures looked forward to this time when God would make the Gentiles right in his sight because of their faith. God proclaimed this good news to Abraham long ago when he said, "All nations will be blessed through you." 9 So all who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith.
MUSIC: The God of Abraham Praise Words - Fernando Ortega (YouTube)
SOME THOUGHTS: In the twelfth chapter of Genesis, God had a conversation with Abram. Abram was minding his own business and his encounter with God completely changed the rest of his life in a very large way. (That happens to more people than Abram!) This inner action with God goes specifically all the way back to God's curse of the serpent in the Garden of Eden. What's the connection you say? Take some time and look at the third chapter of Luke's gospel and you'll see the connection. In verse 38 we see that Seth was the son of blessing, having replaced Abel, whom Cain killed. Through God's blessing of the seed of the woman, (Seth), we trace the genealogy to Abram (v.34). We then trace Abram's generations all the way to Jesus (v.23). It was through the coming of Jesus that salvation and blessing for the whole world were made available. Genealogies in the Bible confirm and demonstrate the exactness of God's plan of redemption. The coming of Christ, a central theme of advent, was detailed thousands of years ago and it unfolded exactly as God had ordained. Be very sure that the conclusion of God's plan and the return of Christ is certain and right on schedule, God's schedule. Rejoice! We are in the midst of the greatest story ever told.
PRAYER: May God, who sees all things, and who is Ruler of all spirits and the Lord of all flesh—who chose our Lord Jesus Christ and us through Him to be a peculiar people—grant to every soul that calls upon His glorious and holy Name, faith, peace, patience, long-suffering, self-control, purity, and sobriety to the well-pleasing of His Name, through our High Priest and Protector, Jesus Christ, to whom be glory, and majesty, and power, and honor, both now and forevermore. Amen.
–Clement of Rome, First Century AD (This Clement may well be the Clement Paul referred to in Philippians 4:3.)

The Byker boy who is camera king of the catwalk
PUBLISHED: 21:40 17 November 2009 | UPDATED: 15:45 20 February 2013
It's a long way from the streets of Byker to the catwalks of Milan, but acclaimed photographer Chris Moore has been criss-crossing the globe for more than 50 years
BY VICKY PEPYS
PICTURES BY CHRIS MOORE
Chris Moore is a man who simply loves what he does - and has done for more than 50 years. He is an internationally-acclaimed catwalk photographer, now in his early seventies, and is enjoying the preparations being made for his forthcoming whirlwind global tour, encompassing New York, London, Milan and Paris, to cover the menswear shows, the couture shows and then the slightly more affordable ready-to-wear shows for the Autumn/Winter 2009/10 fashion season. It's a fast-changing schedule that offers as many as ten events a day (that's 220 shows per season), with Chris shooting almost 200 shots each time and very little breathing space in between. Plus, he'll do it all over again come the autumn for the Spring 2010 shows. He is commissioned by fashion and picture editors all over the world to capture new catwalk trends, and often by designers themselves, who will make full marketing use of the images. The publishing world endlessly dips into his archive to illustrate fashion's evolvement from the eras that Chris has captured. When does he find time to breathe? Briefly, between show times. Where he relaxes is something of a surprise. This hard-working, international icon travels north from his London base to spend time in the Allen Valley, south of Allendale, which he describes as 'hawthorn-strewn and drizzle swept, with a scent all of its own'. It's a place Chris regards as home, so the next surprise is that he's a Geordie, born in Raby Street, Byker. He's proud of the status he has achieved and if and when he eventually retires, it will be to his cottage, which he has owned since 1963. He says: 'It was originally rented by my sister as a holiday home - Mum was from Hexham - and I used to visit as much as I could. It's paradise, so I was keen to take over the tenancy. 'Later. I bought it, but gas, electricity and running water didn't arrive until the 70s.' Young Chris moved with his family to Essex in the 1930s. At 16, his first job was in a print studio in London's Fleet Street, but
by 1954 he was hired as a photographic assistant at Vogue, where he worked alongside the legendary Cecil Beaton. By then Chris was married to fashion journalist wife, Jackie, and the pair travelled to Paris and 'shot' the haute couture collections - a very different scenario to today's catwalk shows. 'Costumes' were shown in private salons and a dressed model was often sent down to the photographer at street level. 'We were very rarely invited inside,' he says. 'Fashion reportage always used to be a round-up of the week's events, which allowed us enough time to return to London and process the film. I used to process and print in hotel bathrooms.' As fashion developed to become the UK's third biggest industry, so Chris's career, supplying shots for international and national fashion pages and trade publications, has grown, but it has become hugely competitive, with timing the crucial issue. Coverage of each show takes only hours before it can be seen in its entirety through designated web pages. Always positioned at the very end of the catwalk to catch the models full face, with full eye contact and at the crucial pivot point, Chris is guaranteed to be in the middle. It's the number one spot, earned through hard work, history and kudos, and it must be said, a certain pioneering spirit. A show in the 70s could boast a handful of photographers. These days each show now must make space for at least 200, alongside video crews for TV and web-based fashion broadcasts. Plus, a contingent of 'paps' who want to photograph the celebrity element on the front rows. Chris has been there and seen it all, and many have looked to him to learn their craft. Among the chaos and the mayhem, this quietly confident, kind and humorous man has earned tremendous respect from the rest of the pack. He's known as 'The Reverend'. Never showing his discomfort in his surroundings, and often standing on his upturned camera case, he vents frustration at unnecessary delays - delays mean missed print deadlines - with good humour, by leading others in a chorus from Aida or an OM-type Buddhist chant. There are few credible fashion folk who don't know and respect Chris. He'll be the first to admit that he couldn't do it all on his own and has a terrific team in the studio, plus two other photographers at the height of the fashion season. He owes his technical wizardry and efficient running of base
camp to long-term partner and new wife,Welsh wonder woman Maxine Millar. They married just a couple of months ago to the great amusement of the registrar who asked if they wanted to take pictures. 'We don't take pictures, we're photographers,' Chris retorted. Max has guided Chris trough the move from film to digital imaging and it's to her credit that he describes the changeover as 'trouble-free'. He can now step outside after a show and email a shot to a picture desk of, say, the New York Herald Tribune for the next morning's front page, by mobile phone. Chris's punishing schedule has meant a life constantly on the move, to which he's developed a simple approach. 'When I travel, I turn myself into a cabbage,' he says. 'It drives Max crazy. I get on the plane and I shut down, I don't react to anything or anybody and I'm simply transported from A to B.' The same goes for his routine. 'I've been staying at the same hotel in Paris for 40 years, the same Milan hotel for 20 years and only recently switched in New York to the Dylan from the Wyndham.' For a man who has seen it all, some designers hold his interest slightly more than others. He cites Hussein Chalayan, Alexander McQueen, Jasper Conran, Comme des Garcons and Yohji Yamamoto as his favourites. 'Not always run of the mill,' he says, smoothing out his Yohji lapel as he speaks. Kate Moss is a particular favourite model of the photographer. 'Her appeal is that she could so easily be the girl next door, but I used to love working with the supermodels Christie Turlington and Linda Evangelista too,' he says. Fashion is all about new beginnings and Chris talks about his own new beginnings as he approaches retirement. 'I want to do the "reverse" thing in the Allen Valley. I shall live up here and run the office from up here and commute down to London occasionally. I'll never give up London completely,' he says. Four years ago the Liberty store in London honoured his 50 years in the business by holding an exhibition of his work during London Fashion Week. His favourite shots, some pictured here, were made into gigantic prints viewable from the ground level through the central well of the store right up to the sixth floor. Shortly afterwards, the London College of Fashion honoured him with "visiting professor" status and he held a public exhibition in their college gallery. Looking back at life in the photographers' pack, he describes the experience as 'marvellous' and smiles when he recalls 'the camaraderie, and all the friends I've made'. This is a man who enjoys his frenzied career but is beginning to see the benefit of a somewhat quieter lifestyle. 'I'm going to grow grapes. I've never been able to have a dog and I might keep a few chickens,' he says. See further work by Chris Moore at www.catwalking.com

Okay, I've got a couple of updates for everyone.
First, Parts 24-32 are uploaded, live, and have their descriptions. You'll note that the descriptions have gotten a bit more detailed, particularly where I list off the objectives, collections, and Skylanders that were used. I'm thinking I'll style all the vid descriptions along these lines OR I will just keep them simple and go into detail here on the blog.
For example if Chapter 5 is a 2 part video I would have the blog post begin with the vitals: Chapter Name, Goals, Collections, Skylanders used etc...continue into a detailed analysis, and end with the completed vitals. I might actually go that route as it would save me a ton of time with the standard descriptions.
Second, I will try and get a complete blog list on all the Skylanders and adventure packs to help answer questions for everyone.
Third, I would really like to know if those of you watching the playthrough would prefer that I continue to progress or go back and pick up missed items (Legendary Treasure, Hats, etc). And if you prefer I go back do you want it to be immediate, or after a few chapters?
I ordinarily get everything and if I've missed something I replay it until I have it all (aside from the Subspace Emissary...plan to do all that after things wrap up). In Skylanders I just felt like I'd have to go back afterwards for the time goals, which could be very challenging ,and figured I'd just progress through the game...and then at the end come back and pick up said items before or during the time objectives.
Lastly, I have had a lot of people requesting gameplay vids for certain Skylanders. The best thing to do is to find that Skylander listed in the description or tagged and watch the video.
However, I can cut and edit certain gameplay portions so you can just watch say a stand-alone 3 minute video on Stealth Elf...The only catch is if I go this route it will cut into the time before I can continue in the main story mode. Once complete I can go back and do this, but I will try to accommodate what folks would rather see the most.
Ordinarly I would just go thru the playthrough at my own leisure and not factor outside influence into any decision. Skylanders has just got such a big following I figured if I was ever going to try and cater the content to the audience this would be the time.
Thanks for all the subscriptions, friend invites, comments, and messages...I try to reply to them as best I can. I am hoping by making the Skylanders Info blog etc I can direct a lot of folks there and then of course move on in the direction folks would like to see.
Hopefully that all makes a little bit of sense, it is 3:45 AM and I could use some sleep, lol.

Late-night hosts are always assuring us that their studio bands sound great wailing away during the commercials, but how do these outfits stack up in the snippets heard by a TV viewer at home? We rate the bands:
The Tonight Show Band
Unlike Doc Severinsen,the current Tonight Show bandleader is as interested in hard and post-bop as in pop standards and big band. But saxophonist Branford Marsalis — who sometimes looks as if he wishes Jay Leno would just leave him alone — could use a bit more of Doc's snappy showmanship. The Tonight Show band doesn't always come across effectively on television because its top-flight musicians take too long to get into or out of a commercial break. Lovely closing theme, though. B+
The CBS Orchestra
You'd never know that primo Letterman foil Paul Shaffer has added Parliament/Funkadelic keyboardist Bernie Worrell to his reconstituted group: As always, this is a slick, fast, frequently witty, but assiduously unfunky crew. B
The Max Weinberg Seven Drummer Weinberg is playing his E Street heart out with his six cohorts on Conan O'Brien's Late Night. He knows he has to work hard to hook O'Brien's college-age crowd and has come up with a canny mixture of soul oldies and camp-tinged jazz. Beaming as he pounds, Weinberg is the most likable bandleader in late-night. A-
Chevy Chase's unnamed band
Consistency is a byword here: The worst nighttime talk show has the worst music, spearheaded by saxophonist-leader Tom Scott's impeccably played, flaccid pop-fusion glop. D
Arsenio Hall's Posse
Like Scott, keyboardist-leader Michael Wolff also emulates his boss, wagging his head to the bass-heavy MOR funk provided by a passel of soulless pros. When Arsenio bids them to "give me something really nasty," they respond with licks that would sound tame on a New Kids on the Block album. C

Prayer of Confession, OT 33A
Call to Confession
If we say we are without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. Let us confess our sin before God, and seek God's merciful forgiveness.
Prayer of Confession
Over and over
and over and over
and over and over and over
we fail you,
doing what is evil
in your sight.
Forgetting your commandment
to serve only you,
we serve many gods.
Our hearts are divided.
Rebelling against your commandment
to love our neighbor,
we speak and behave out of anger
and hatred
born of fear.
Forgive us, we pray,
though we do not deserve it,
and free us from the enslavement
we have brought upon ourselves
as a result.
Assurance of God's Grace
God has promised that when we confess our sin, God who is faithful and just will forgive us our sin, removing it as far as the east is from the west and remembering it no more. In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. Thanks be to God!
Since God has forgiven us in Christ, let us also forgive one another. The peace of Christ be with you.
Please extend the peace of Christ to all whom you encounter this day.

Occupy Congress
Corporations are at war with America
by Kevin Matovina
It has already happened. There are enough people in America sick of the two-party system. Occupy Wall Street will be the American third-party.
The current "system" has reached its end. There can't be more unemployment, or lower wages, or higher taxes, or more war.
Look out your window, people have taken to the streets. Join them. The answers to the questions are in the minds and hearts of the protesters.
We the people are taking back our country from the corporatist.

Jeff Bezos wants to see the space industry expand to the scale of today's internet industry, creating a "completely new world."
And he's spending quite a bit to make it happen.
The Amazon founder & CEO moreover founded Blue Origin, a reusable rocket company that builds on Bezos' childhood dreams of space colonization. While the company will one day be a "thriving enterprise," Bezos joked it's going to be a long road. One of the company's rockets, New Glenn, will cost at least $2.5 billion, Bezos said.
"My business model right now for Blue Origin is I sell approximately $1 billion a year of Amazon stock & use it to invest in Blue Origin," Bezos said.
Bezos appeared on Wednesday at the 33rd Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, where he said he would reveal more details on a rocket his start-up hopes will take paying customers to space by 2018.
He said he'll apply some of the lessons he learned at Amazon, especially when it comes to bringing down costs & gauging customer demand.
"Of course, we'll be just as competitive," Bezos said. "But how do you compete? When people say that an entrant is disruptive in an industry, what they really mean is that customers are adopting that new way. At Amazon we've had a lot of inventions that we were very excited approximately & customers didn't care at all. And believe me, those inventions were not disruptive in any way. The only thing that's disruptive is customer adoption. If you can invent a better way, & customers believe that's a better way, then they will use it. And that's what we're trying to do at Blue Origin."
Start-ups like Blue Origin & Elon Musk's SpaceX have joined more traditional companies in the space race in recent years. But despite his competitive spirit, Bezos said he's not thinking it of a sprint to the complete line.
"I always remind the team is that we are not racing," Bezos said. "We are going to test it. We will put humans on this when it is ready & not a second sooner…It's a mistake to race to a deadline when you're talking approximately a flying vehicle, especially one you're going to put people on."
Bezos said the two companies are actually quite "like-minded in a lot of ways."
"The whole space industry is too small," Bezos said. "The reason is, we don't fly very often. If airplane flights cost the same as in 1940, that would moreover be a small industry today….we need to obtain there."

Building rockets that are reusable is the key to getting "millions of people living & working in space," Bezos said. When rockets are reusable & don't need much refurbishing, that means the can endure more practice runs. And more practice runs means learning more details that can be used to innovate faster, he said.
"Amazingly, we humans obtain better at everything we practice. And one of the reasons that we haven't made as much progress in space flight …. over the past 50 years, is that we haven't been able to practice that much," Bezos said. "Anything you do a dozen times a year, you never obtain truly tremendous at."
The company's New Shepard capsule is designed to feature huge windows to let tourists obtain a taste of space. He said that passengers would ideally need less than a day of training to ride the rockets.
It's not clear what the ticket prices would be yet, Bezos said, yet he's "determined" to bring costs down to the level of airplane tickets over time, providing widespread access to the technology.
"Entrepreneurs will be unleashed, you will see creativity, you will see dynamism, you will see the same thing in space that I've witnessed on the internet for the past 20 years," Bezos said.

4:00 pm - Saint Thomas Church
Preacher: Fr Turner
"To be nothing else than love, deep down in the heart of Mother Church."
Lenten series on Praying with Holy Men and Holy Women.
Saint Thérèse of Lisieux was born Marie Françoise-Thérèse Martin on 2 January 1873 in Alençon, in the North of France. Her mother was a lace-maker and her father a jeweler and watchmaker. One of five sisters, four of the girls entered the religious life. In Thérèse's case she was only 15 years old but her sense of vocation was strong and powerful. One of her sisters asked Thérèse about being a nun and what she might expect and, without hesitation, she answered:
· Prayer.
· Love in action.
· Sacrifice.
In her short life (she died of Tuberculosis at the age of 24) she touched many people and has left a lasting legacy of encouragement in the spiritual life. She was prolific in correspondence, she wrote numerous plays and, most importantly, she wrote an autobiography 'The Story of a Soul' that continues to inspire people in their journeys of faith and across many church traditions. Because of that, she has been described as one of the most popular saints of the 20th century and in 1997, Pope John Paul II said she would be known as one of the Doctors of the Church – the youngest ever to be named thus and only the third woman to be given that title in the Roman Catholic Church – a title she shares with St Teresa of Avila, who reformed, renewed and re-invigorated the Carmelite order that she joined.
The Carmelite order is a contemplative religious community dedicated to constant prayer and intercession. There are Anglican sisters who follow this tradition and, in particular, the Community of the Sisters of the Love of God at Fairacres in Oxford who have long worn the traditional Carmelite habit. Like most religious orders in the Catholic, Orthodox and Anglican traditions, religious men and women often take a name in religion, but one of the distinctive aspects of profession in the Carmelite order is the taking of a dedication added to that name or the Christian name. As a seminarian in Oxford I knew Sr Mary Magdalen of the Resurrection and Sr Elfreda of the Cross. They told me that it is generally felt that sisters will live out their dedications during their lives. In Thérèse's case, she took as her dedication Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face. The convent in Lisieux had a shrine to the holy Face in the garden and Thérèse loved the garden, its flowers and this shrine. The holy face, of course, refers to the legend of Veronica who wipes the face of Jesus as he walks the road to Calvary, leaving the imprint of his face on the cloth. This linking of the Child Jesus with the holy face brings together a desire to love the child within and to seek for the face of that child in all people. This is no psycho-babble! Loving the child within demands an understanding of the difference that the incarnation has made to the world and to our salvation. Thérèse is also known as 'the little flower,' not only because she loved the garden but because she had a dream that if she were in heaven she would shower the earth with beautiful roses.
Thérèse only spent nine years in the convent but her child-like simple way of faith and prayer began to inspire many. She was devoted to praying for missions and priests in particular. Perhaps more important is that her 'little way', her childlike trust in God, and her ability to see the importance of the transforming love of Jesus at the center of the church, is what can help so many of us today. Thérèse searched for the holy face of Jesus in the people she met; she yearned to make a difference; in her autobiography she expresses a desire to be a priest, to be a martyr, to be a teacher; she expresses her frustration; she wanted to make a real difference and encourage people in their faith. Instead, the convent asked her to look after the sacristy and help the novices.
Her greatest revelation was that love was the key to everything. We live in an age where words and actions are often stripped of their power. The word love is so overused and so inappropriately attached to every aspect of human life and commerce that it can seem shallow when spoken in the pulpit. Thérèse knew that the love of Jesus could transform the world because it was molded through sacrifice – his sacrifice on the cross. She was dedicated to the child Jesus but the holy face bore the scars of the crown of thorns. In Story of a soul she writes:
"Love is nourished only by sacrifices.... To love is to offer oneself to suffering, because love lives only on sacrifice; so, if one is completely dedicated to loving, one must expect to be sacrificed unreservedly."
In her own life she suffered. Wrongly diagnosed, and with antibiotics not yet invented, she suffered with tuberculosis and her death was not easy. But even her dying was an opportunity to love, for she united her suffering with the love flowing from the heart of Jesus on the cross.
It is significant that Jesus sometimes used children to make an important point. When the disciples argued over who was the greatest, he placed a child in their midst and told them to model themselves on such. When the disciples were deciding who should come to Jesus, he rebuked them for keeping the children away. Thérèse's child-like faith is, in actual fact, deep and mature; she is a doctor of the church not because she was a scholar – she is a doctor of the church because her 'little way' allows people to become more like Jesus who will change their lives and help them change the world.
To end, let me read to you my favorite part of her autobiography; it continues to inspire me; perhaps it may inspire you to find out more about her 'little way' – perhaps it might encourage us to be a center of love here in midtown Manhattan:
"I was still being tormented by this question of unfulfilled longings for martyrdom and it was a distraction in my prayer, when I decided to consult Saint Paul's epistles in the hope of getting an answer. It was the twelfth and thirteenth chapters of First Corinthians that claimed my attention. The first of these told me that we can't all of us be apostles, all of us be prophets, all of us doctors, and so on; the Church is composed of members which differ in their use; the eye is one thing and the hand is another. It was a clear enough answer, but it didn't satisfy my aspirations, didn't set my heart at rest. Reading on to the end of the chapter, I met this comforting phrase: 'Prize the best gifts of heaven. Meanwhile, I can show you a way which is better than any other.'
What was it? The apostle goes on to explain that all the gifts of heaven, even the most perfect of them, without love, are absolutely nothing; charity is the best way of all, because it leads straight to God. Now I was at peace; when Saint Paul was talking about the different members of the mystical body I couldn't recognize myself in any of them; or rather I could recognize myself in all of them. But charity—that was the key to my vocation. If the Church was a body composed of different members, it couldn't lack the noblest of all; it must have a heart, and a heart burning with love. And I realized that this love was the true motive force which enabled the other members of the Church to act; if it ceased to function the apostles would forget to preach the gospel, the martyrs would refuse to shed their blood. Love, in fact, is the vocation, which includes all others; it's a universe of its own, comprising all time and space—it's eternal. Beside myself with joy, I cried out: 'Jesus, my love! I've found my vocation, and my vocation is love.' I had discovered where it is that I belong in the Church, the niche God has appointed for me. To be nothing else than love, deep down in the heart of Mother Church; that's to be everything at once—my dream wasn't a dream after all."
Two Prayers of St Thérèse:
In the evening of this life, I shall appear before you with empty hands, for I do not ask you, Lord, to count my works. All our goodness is stained and imperfect in your eyes. I wish, then, to be clothed with your own goodness, and to receive from your love the eternal possession of yourself. I want no other throne, no other crown but you, my beloved!
Lord, even if my conscience were burdened with every sin it possible to commit, I would throw myself into your arms, my heart broken with contrition. And, I know how tenderly you welcome any prodigal child of yours who comes back to you.
I want O my Beloved, at each beat of my heart to renew this offering to you an infinite number of times, until the shadows having disappeared I may be able to tell you of my love face to face in eternity.

Need inexpensive gifts you can whip up in absolutely NO time? Last minute dinner party and want to dress up your table? Check this out! I picked up some of these little brandy-snifter looking glass candle holders a while back (ok, so maybe they've been hanging around for a year, lol) I think at Hobby Lobby and I know they were cheap (maybe $2?) or I wouldn't have picked up as many as I did. This will work with any inexpensive candle holder, but I love the shape of these because they lend themselves so nicely to adding ribbon around the bottom.
Shhhh – I am in dire need of a class on how to tie bows. I just can't do it! So I cheated here and chose a ruffly ribbon and simply wrapped it around a few times and glued it.
I had some holiday rubons from Heidi Grace that had designs and borders and honestly, I don't do borders. Remember back when all stickers came like that – a 6×12″ sheet with some "stuff" and some matching borders? Yea, I think I still have piles of those borders left, lol! BUT, they were magnificent for the rim of this candle holder! The center design is actually several other pieces of other designs I just kept adding bits of until I liked the way it looked. Add some ribbon (from Making Memories Noteworthy line), and voila! Instant pretty little gift for a neighbor who stops by unexpectedly, your child's teacher, your aerobics instructor…anyone! It will hold either tealight candles (it would be so pretty with a holiday scented one in a clear cup but this was what I had handy when I wanted to take a pic, lol) or votives. You can use any shape or size of glass holder as well.
Yes, getting rubons onto curved glass is a little tricky. So here's my trick. I center my design, but don't stick it down in the middle – move off to one side or the other and press that side down firmly. Hold it down for dear life with one hand and begin rubbing with the other. Gently move your fingers as needed, but do it so that there is always one finger holding it firmly in place at all times. Do this a section at a time from one side to the other by simply moving one finger a bit further (leaving one finger in place so it doesn't move) each time you're ready to move to another section. Wow. I think I'm making it sound more complicated than it really is, lol!
There are so many lovely holiday rubons out right now and a little goes a long way. Keeping it simple saves time (and money!) but looks elegant and timeless. You could literally put together a dozen of these in an hour or so and just have them tucked away for whenever you need them. This is also a great way to use up extra rubons on sheets you've used for other purposes. Try putting in some non-holiday ones as well and you'll always have a last minute gift for any occasion. After all, who doesn't love a great smelling candle in a lovely holder?
