Last week, an atheist came up to me and asked how I could believe in a God who made parents eat their children.
Naturally, I was a little confused. A lot of people have odd ideas about God, but cannibalism? That was new.
I was speaking at an event, and the theme that weekend was the Bible—in all its weirdness and mystery and drama and truth and lies and violence and nonviolence and sarcastic donkeys and dying Messiahs and what-in-the-world-is-up-with-this story-ness.
The event was supposed to be for pastors and church leader types, but a number of atheists crashed the party.
It turns out a lot of people have issues with the Bible.
Even more of us have issues with God.
So this guy, Micah, comes up to me with a quote from Leviticus. (Why is it always Leviticus?) He had accidentally torn a line out of context and misread it. It happens.
We had a nice chat about how God isn't actually a cannibal, and then I had to go up on stage and teach. But it struck me later that Micah the atheist and myself the pastor were both talking about God, but the two of us had radically different ideas about who God is.
For me, God is the Creator of all that is good, beautiful, and true—the God I read about in the Scriptures and then see in Jesus of Nazareth.
For Micah, God is a sadistic monster who made ancient Hebrews eat their young.
Same Bible, very different God.
Then a few weeks back, my son Jude asked me about the resurrection of Jesus. He wanted to know if Jesus was a zombie, like in World War Z.
Jesus zombie?
We act like the English word "God" is a common denominator, but it's not.
When we talk about God, it turns out we're all over the map.
In the West, we still live in a hangover from our Christianized past. There was a time when you could say "God," and people would immediately think of the God we read about in the Scriptures and see in Jesus. Most people would even come to the same basic conclusions about this God.
That time has long since gone the way of the earth.
Today, when I say "God," you might think any number of things, depending on your country of birth, language, religion, church experience, background—and, of course, whether or not you have cable.
All of this brings me to the question at the heart of this book: Who is God?
I'm not writing this book to prove that God exists. If you're an atheist like my new friend Micah, welcome to the table. We're glad you're here. Just know that I won't go into a litany of reasons that I'm right and you're wrong. There are a lot of people way smarter than me—the kind with extra letters after their name—who've already had a crack at that.
I can only speak out of my own life, and, for me, God's existence was never the question. I've been down the road of doubt, had a crisis of faith—a few actually—thought long and hard about Jesus, and had a list of questions about the Bible stretching to Florida and back (I live in Portland—it's a long trek). But for me, the question was never whether God exists. The way I'm wired, that was axiomatic and self-evident.
Have you been outside recently?
For me, the far more interesting question was always, "What in the world is God like?"
Is God a he?
Or a she?
Come on, sisters . . . Is God a they?
Or an it?
Is the tree in my front yard full of the divine?
Am I?
Is God even a person? Or is he/she/they/it/the tree/maybe- even-me more of an energy force or a state of mind?
Or is Micah right? Is God just a myth? A carryover from a world that all smart, thinking people have moved on from? Now that we have science and technology, "we know better."
Let's assume for now that there is some kind of an invisible-but-real being who made everything, and for now let's call this being "God." If so, what is this God like?
Kind, or cruel?
Close by and involved in my life, or far-off and aloof?
Strict and uptight like a fundamentalist preacher, or free and easygoing like a good, educated progressive?
Does he vote Democratic? Or is he a Republican? Maybe Green Party?
Or how about this one: Is God even good for the world anymore? Fewer and fewer people answer yes. What if God and religion are just an endless source of violence and hatred and bigotry and hypocrisy and really bad music?
Who is this "God" we love, hate, worship, blaspheme, trust, fear, believe in, doubt, cuss in the name of, bow to, make jokes about, and most of the time just ignore?
I would argue that how you answer this question will define you.
The twentieth-century writer A. W. Tozer made a stunning claim: "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us."
The most important thing?
More than our gender or sexuality or ethnicity or family of origin or the town we grew up in or where we went to college or our tax bracket or whether our sport is American football or futbol football?
Here's a truth that cuts across the whole of the universe: we become like what we worship.
Tozer went on to write, "We tend by a secret law of the soul to move toward our mental image of God . . . Were we able to extract from any man a complete answer to the question, 'What comes to mind when you think about God?' we might predict with certainty the spiritual future of that man."
Put another way, what you think about God will shape your destiny in life.
If you think of God as homophobic, racist, and mad at the world, this distorted vision of reality will shape you into a religious bigot who is—wait for it—homophobic, racist, and mad at the world.
If you think of God as a Left-Coast, educated, LGTBQ-affirming progressive, that will shape you into the stereotype of the wealthy bohemian with the "We Will Not Tolerate Intolerance" bumper sticker on the back of your hybrid.
(Don't take that as a slam. I'm writing about half of my neighbors and friends.)
If you think of God as the cosmic version of a life coach, there to "maximize your life," that will shape you into a self-helpy yuppie, even if you dress it up and call it following Jesus.
You see what I'm getting at?
The ISIS terrorist beheading the infidel, the prosperity gospel celebrity preacher getting out of his Hummer after late-night drinks with Kanye West, the Westborough Baptist picketer outside a military funeral screaming "God hates f—s!", the Hindu sacrificing a goat to Shiva, the African witch doctor sacrificing a little boy, the U.S. Army sniper praying to God before he takes the shot,
the peace activist risking her neck to stop another war because she believes in Jesus' teachings on enemy love, the gay singer who stands up at the Grammys and says thank you to God for
his song about a one-night stand, the Catholic nun giving up a "normal life" to live in poverty and work for social change—all of these men and women do what they do because of what they believe about God.
So clearly, what we think about God matters.
Who God is has profound implications for who we are.
Here's the problem: we usually end up with a God who looks an awful lot like us.
As the saying goes, "God created man in his own image. And man, being a gentleman, returned the favor."
There is a human bent in all of us to make God in our own image.
My friend Scot McKnight is a New Testament professor in Chicago. For years, he taught a class on Jesus, and he would start every semester with two surveys. The first was a set of questions about the student: what they like, dislike, believe, and so on. The second was the same set of questions, but this time about Jesus. He told me that 90 percent of the time, the answers were exactly the same.
That's telling, isn't it?
Here's how you know if you've created God in your own image: he agrees with you on everything. He hates all the people you hate. He voted for the person you voted for. If you're a Republican, so is he. If you're a Democrat, she is too. If you're passionate about _____, then God is passionate about _____. If you're open and elastic about sexuality, so is he. And above all, he's tame.
You never get mad at him or blown away by him or scared of him. Because he's controllable.
And, of course, he's a figment of your imagination.
Often what we believe about God says more about us than it does about God. Our theology is like a mirror to the soul. It shows us what's deep inside.
Maybe the truth is that we want a God who is controllable because we want to be God. We want to be the authority on who God is or isn't and what's right or wrong, but we want the mask of religion or spirituality to cover up the I-wanna-be-God reality.
The most ancient, primal temptation, going all the way back to Adam and Eve in the Garden, is to decide for ourselves what God is like, and whether we should live into his vision of human flourishing or come up with our own. All so we "will be like God, knowing good and evil."
This is why theology is so incredibly important.
The word theology comes from two Greek words—theo, meaning "God," and logos, meaning "word." Simply put, theology is a word about God. It's what comes to mind when we think about God.
It's not like some of us are into theology and others aren't. We all have a theology. We all have thoughts and opinions and convictions about God. Good, bad, right, wrong, brilliant, dangerous—we all theologize.
But the problem is that much of what we think about God is simply wrong.
I know that's blunt, but I don't really know how else to say it.
Much of what we read in the news or see on TV or pick up on the street about God and the way he works is wrong. Maybe not all wrong, but wrong enough to mess up how we live.
In the modern world, we start with the assumption that we know what God is like, and then we judge every religion or church or sermon or book based on our view of God.
A while back, I read an interview in Rolling Stone with a celebrity who said he grew up in the church but left it in college because he "couldn't believe in a God who would limit sex to one man and one woman for life."
What was shocking to me wasn't the sex part. This is the modern world after all. And the dude was a rock star . . .
What was shocking to me was the bizarre twist of logic.
I couldn't believe in a God who _____?
As if what we think and feel about God is an accurate barometer for what he is actually like.
The Scripture writers come at it the other way around. From Moses to Matthew, they just assume we have no idea what God is like. In fact, that a lot of what we think about God is totally
off base. If history teaches us anything, it's that the majority are often wrong.
And don't think that if you're religious—or even if you're a Christian—you're off the hook. Jesus spent the bulk of his time helping religious people see that a lot of what they thought about God was wrong too.
You've heard it said . . .
But I say to you . . .
Or he would start a teaching by saying, "The kingdom of God is like . . ." and then tell a story that was radically out of step with how people in his day and age thought.
For Jesus and all the writers of Scripture, the starting point for all theology is the realization that:
we don't know what God is like, but we can learn.
But to learn, we have to go to the source.
And that means we need revelation. Otherwise we end up with all sorts of erroneous and goofy and untrue and maybe even toxic ideas about God.
By "revelation," I don't mean the last book of the Bible or foldout charts from the 1970s about the end of the world. I mean, God himself has to reveal to us what he's like. He has to pull back the curtain of the universe and let you and me look inside. But here's the thing: revelation, by definition, is usually a surprise. A twist in the story. A break from the status quo. So when God reveals himself, it's almost always different from what we expect.
All of which leads us to Moses on the top of Mount Sinai. Yup. That's where we're going.
I am a follower of Jesus, not a Muslim or Hindu or Buddhist or Jedi Knight (sadly). So everything I think about God is through the lens of the Scriptures and then Jesus himself.
Scripture is first and foremost a story. And it's a story about God. We want to make it a story about us—about how to get ahead in life or have great sex or up our portfolio or just be happy. And there are all sorts of "success principles" in the Bible, but honestly, that's just not what the story is about. If you strip the Bible down to the core, it's a story about God, and about how we as people relate to God.
And in the story, there are climactic moments when the door swings open and we get a brand-new, compelling, and at times terrifying vision of who God is.
Often these moments take place on a mountain.
If you've ever read the Bible, you know that the second book is called Exodus. The setting for the book is Israel in the desert, en route from slavery in Egypt to freedom in a new land. But it's a bumpy ride, to say the least.
At the head of the people of God is the prophet Moses, who has a totally unique relationship with the Creator. We read that God "would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend."
In Exodus 33, we get to eavesdrop on a conversation between Moses and God. Moses is asking for God to go with the Israelites every step of the way, and at one point he asks, "Now show me your glory."
In ancient Hebrew literature like Exodus, to speak of God's glory was to speak of his presence and beauty. Moses is asking to see God for who he really is. To see God in person.
For Moses, head knowledge isn't enough. He wants to experience God.
God graciously tells Moses that he can't see his face or he will die, "for no one may see me and live."11 But he'll do him one better. God tells him, "I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the Lord [Yahweh], in your presence."
So God
has a name.
The next morning, Moses gets up early and climbs to the top of Mount Sinai. Then we read one of the most staggering paragraphs in the entire Bible.
"The Lord [Yahweh] came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the Lord [Yahweh]. And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, 'The Lord [Yahweh], the Lord [Yahweh], the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.'"
This is one of those watershed moments when everything changes. It's one of the few places in the entire Bible where God describes himself. Where he essentially says, "This is what I'm like." Think of it as God's self-disclosure statement, his press release to the world.
Because of that, it's quite possibly the most quoted passage in the Bible, by the Bible.
The writers of the Bible circle back to this passage over and over and over again. Dozens of times. Moses and David and Jeremiah and Jonah—they quote it and allude to it and pray it and sing it and claim it and complain about it, but above all, they believe it.
This is ground zero for a theology of God.
But what's striking to me is how very different this passage is from what you would expect.
For those of us who live in the West, we tend to think of God in the categories of philosophy. Pick up a book about God, and it'll often start with the omnis . . .
God is omnipotent (he's all-powerful).
God is omniscient (he's all-knowing).
God is omnipresent (he's everywhere at once).
And all of that is true. I believe it. But here's my hang-up: when God describes himself, he doesn't start with how powerful he is or how he knows everything there is to know or how he's been around since before time and space and there's no one else like him in the universe.
That's all true, but apparently, to God, it's not the most important thing.
When God describes himself, he starts with his name. Then he talks about what we call character. He's compassionate and gracious; he's slow to anger; he's abounding in love and faithfulness, and on down the list.
Which makes sense. Starting with the omnis is kind of like somebody asking about my wife, and me saying she's thirty-three years old, five foot one, 120 pounds, black hair, brown eyes, Latin American ancestry . . .
That's all true, but if you sat there as I was spouting off all these facts about my wife, my guess is that at some point, you would interrupt me and ask, "Yes, but what is she like? Tell me about her. What's her personality? Is she laid-back or type A? Social or shy? What is she passionate about? What made you fall in love with her? What makes her, her?"
Most of the time, this is how we talk about God—we rattle off a bunch of stuff about God that is true; it's just not the stuff that makes him, him.
That's why this passage in Exodus is such a breath of fresh air. It turns out that God is better than any of us could imagine.
Now, maybe you've read this passage before in passing, or maybe it doesn't ring a bell, but this passage is central to the story of the Bible. The rabbis make a huge deal out of it. In Jewish culture, it's called the "Thirteen Attributes of Mercy," and orthodox
Jews pray it on holy days like Yom Kippur, before reading the Torah, and at the synagogue.17 It's like the John 3v16 of Judaism.
If you've spent any time in the church, I'm sure you know John 3v16 like the back of your hand: "For God so loved the world . . ." But oddly enough, little or nothing is said in most churches about Exodus 34v6–7, even though it's quite possibly the most quoted passage in the Bible, by the Bible.
Let's change that, shall we?
Now, here's the map for how we'll come at this book . . .
We'll talk about Exodus 34v6–7 line by line, taking time to soak our imaginations in each word. Each chapter will run something like this:
First, we'll talk about the original Hebrew. It's amazing what you can find when you dig into the language.
In TWO: Stories, we'll look at a story or two where this passage is quoted by later Scripture writers—stories where we see God display his character.
Then in THREE: Jesus, we'll fast-forward to Jesus. As a follower of Jesus, I very much believe that the God on top of Mount Sinai—the God of thunder and lightning and fire and smoke and a voice like a trumpet blast with a subwoofer in the back trunk—took on flesh and blood as the rabbi Jesus of Nazareth. And in Jesus, we see more clearly than ever before what God is like.
And finally, in FOUR: Us, we'll take a step back and think about what who God is means for who we are, and how it has the potential to reshape our lives from the ground up, unlocking the weights that hold us back from the full, deep, wide, boundless, difficult, invigorating, I-can't-believe-this-is-my-life kind of existence that God made us for and Jesus put on display.
Sound like a plan?
I hope you're sitting there and thinking to yourself, Let's do this.
Now, before we wrap up this opening salvo, let me put all my cards on the table.
Writing a book about God is terrifying. Who am I? Not only is it a daunting task, but think about what's at stake.
You could read this book and get a wrong view of God. That would be no small blunder on my part.
Or you could read this book and radically overhaul the way you relate to God, and in doing so, terraform your life from the ground up.
So as I sit here typing away, I feel both the pulse and throb of my heart beating through my chest—this sense that I have to write this. But I also feel this weight on my shoulders. This gravity and seriousness. This sense that I've got to get this right.
So I'll do my very best, but in the end, well, I'm not God.
And even if I was God, and this book was the transcript of my conversation with John Mark Comer, you would still walk away with questions, just like Moses did. And the poet Job. And the prophet Habakkuk. And the disciple Peter. And pretty much every single person who has ever had an encounter with the God who is totally Other.
There is a mystery to God that we never quite figure out. After all, we're dealing with a being who is totally unlike any other in the universe.
It's not like you'll finish reading this book, lean back in your chair, and think to yourself, I got this.
That's not how it works.
At one point in Exodus, Moses asks God his name, and God answers: "I AM WHO I AM."
Well, that really clears things up, doesn't it?
God can be mysterious and vague and elusive and hard to catch at times. At the top of Mount Sinai was a cloud, not an engineer- ing schematic. And everybody was invited up the mountain, but only Moses had the courage to step into the cloud.
So I say we start with Moses' prayer: Show me your glory.
Even if all we see is a glimpse and all we hear is an echo, it's more than worth the trek. But before we start the journey, ask yourself, Do I have the courage to step into the cloud?
It's one thing to read a book about God; it's another thing to scale a mountain in the middle of the desert and plunge headfirst into the darkness. To abandon yourself to a life of dangerous, risky, I-won't-stop-for-anything pursuit of God.
Hopefully this book will give you the courage to climb the mountain, no matter what you find at the top.

Kat is a lady who really knows how to fly. Hopefully you've enjoyed the demo and Americans are now playing the game. If not a new trailer pretty much explains it all. Review scores are broadly positive, in the 85+ band on Metacritic, so there is pretty much no excuse not to head out and get it when she lands on Friday.
Personally, while this has all the action, I don't think you'll beat this Japanese TV spot for style.

SNA (Tokyo) — Yasumi Iwakami says he had no inkling that anything was amiss until it arrived in the mail—he was sued for defamation by none other than Toru Hashimoto, the former governor and mayor of Osaka, and founder of the Japan Innovation Party. His surprise grew deeper as he read that he was being charged with merely sending a retweet from his Twitter account, and that the retweet in question had already been deleted. Hashimoto was demanding about US$10,000 in damages.
The original tweet sent on October 28 of last year apparently accused Hashimoto of being responsible for working a public employee to death when he was serving as mayor of Osaka. The next day, Iwakami retweeted the tweet (which had been posted by an entirely unrelated individual) without offering additional comment. Sometime later, Iwakami deleted his retweet.
The extremely articulate Toru Hashimoto raised no voice of protest, made no demand, nor offered any public counterarguments. The whole matter seemed to pass quietly. Then, out of the blue, Hashimoto launched his defamation lawsuit—not against the individual who made the accusation against him—but against the prominent independent journalist who had simply retweeted it for a time.
Hashimoto is not known to have sued anybody else over the matter, including people other than Iwakami who retweeted the very same tweet.
Kazuyuki Azusawa, one of Iwakami's defense lawyers, states, "Mr. Iwakami runs IWJ Independent Web Journal, a media organization supported by ordinary citizens who are dissatisfied with the major media. I believe that is why he was singled out."
Iwakami argues that his case has both national and international ramifications because Hashimoto's lawsuit goes against the entire spirit and purpose of social media, which is a place for debate and the presentation of new information. If Hashimoto felt there was something wrong with the original tweet, his obvious recourse was to present a counterargument based on a different set of facts, not to sue someone who simply retweeted it.
Indeed, Toru Hashimoto is one of the most proactive debaters in the nation and is known for his sharp verbal attacks on those he disapproves of. In fact, a lawmaker of the Japan Innovation Party, Hodaka Maruyama, nearly resigned from the party recently over Twitter attacks launched against him by Hashimoto himself.
In their Statement of Petition calling for the case to be heard in Tokyo rather than Osaka (to save Iwakami substantial travel expenses), his legal team writes, "If the defendant's retweeting should constitute an act of defamation, SNS (Social Networking Service) societies all around the world might collapse."
Yasumi Iwakami's IWJ Independent Web Journal is one of the largest and most successful internet-based citizen's media operations in Japan.

The band are preparing to release new album 'Hardwired... To Self Destruct' on November 18
Metallica are offering fans the opportunity to hear their latest song first via a special Halloween mask.
The band have already shared two songs from their upcoming album,'Hardwired…To Self Destruct': title track 'Hardwired' and 'Moth Into Flame'.
A third song from the album, 'Atlas, Rise!', will debut next Monday (October 31). However, fans who pick up a free, special limited edition 'Hardwired… To Self Destruct' mask at selected independent record shops on Friday (October 28) will get to hear it slightly earlier.
The band explained in a post on their website: "Inside of each mask, you'll find a special access code that will allow you to hear 'Atlas, Rise!' 30 minutes prior to its official release on Halloween."
To find out which record shops in the UK, Ireland and North America will be selling the mask, click here.
'Hardwired…To Self Destruct' is set for release on November 18. It's Metallica's first full album since 'Death Magnetic' in 2008. It was recorded with the band's regular producer Greg Fidelman, but James Hetfield has revealed that at one point the band considered branching out for the album.
He recalled: "We said 'Let's mix it up. Let's use someone who doesn't even know rock and go really sideways.' But at the end of the day, we know Greg and he knows us."

Hypnotherapy for public speaking - case study
How hypnotherapy helped overcome a fear of public speaking – case study
When business owner Catherine (not her real name) called for a free telephone assessment, she mentioned 'confidence' but initially found it difficult to elaborate any further. She sounded very stressed. Eventually, she explained that, as part of a charity event, she'd agreed to perform stand-up comedy in front of a live audience of 200 people.
It had seemed like a good idea several months ago, but now, with the event only weeks away, she was terrified. No surprise there, because surveys consistently show that public speaking is people's greatest fear, ranking even higher than death!
At the first meeting, Catherine, as requested, brought along a printed copy of her proposed script/act. The content of the script looked good and, more importantly, came across as very funny. In her business life, Catherine was used to making presentations and whilst she didn't particularly enjoy doing this, she'd learnt to manage. So what was so different about the prospect of performing stand-up comedy? Discussions revealed that Catherine's big fear was lack of approval from the audience, i.e. what if no-one laughed? Everyone, whether they admit it or not, likes to have the approval of other people. However, it's important for our mental well-being to acknowledge and accept that the approval of others is out of our control and therefore can't be guaranteed. There will be occasions when it just doesn't happen.
After discussion, Catherine agreed that the areas that she could control were the content of her act and the quality of her performance. Given that the content of her act was good, the obvious area to work on was her performance. Catherine agreed.
Before doing any hypnosis, Catherine was taught a simple 'anchoring' technique that, with practise, would allow her to quickly access feelings of calmness and confidence and help overcome nerves and worry. In addition, Catherine agreed to (a) perform her act and (b) have it recorded. Then, during the first hypnosis session, when she was relaxed and feeling safe, the recording of her act was played to her. This is a great technique for memorising content (and very handy for exams). Also, during the first hypnosis session, positive suggestions were given along with 3 carefully worded and pre-agreed affirmations designed to help her deal with the 'approval' issue.
When Catherine returned for the next session, she had practised and was comfortable with both the anchoring technique and the affirmations. During the second hypnosis session, a proven hypnosis visualisation technique was used. This allowed Catherine to 'see herself' performing successfully in situ.

text: I visited Cincinnati mostly because one of my favorite couples lives there, but also to explore the city I've heard so much about but never had a chance to visit. We biked around, ate delicious food, took too many portraits against every awesome mural we happened to be passing by (and trust me, there were so many!), we did some hiking, and some shopping, but mostly lots of laughing. And that's always my favorite memory.

Profoto B2 Off Camera Flash
Photography and Video by Maring Visuals
Disclaimer... I need to mention that Profoto has sponsored many of our speaking engagements over the years, so I may be writing this with a bias when it comes to their products. However, in my 25 year career I have experienced many different lighting tools and owned many other brands along the way, and once I experience Profoto tools first hand I've never wanted to look elsewhere. I am not being paid to write this article in particular, and if I didn't feel strongly that their newest tools made a difference in our lives then I wouldn't take the time to write this at all. However, they do, and therefore I want to share my experiences with you.... Learn more about Profoto's new gear at http://profoto.com/offcameraflash/
The Profoto B1 and B2 My Take...
Profoto recently reached out to us asking if we would be interested in trying out the B2 prior to it's release. We've had to keep quite about this innovative new product for a few months until it's debut. But, now that it's a go we want to share the truth about how we see these new units fitting into our lives.
First and foremost I think Profoto has hit a home run with the advent of the B2. It's small footprint and weight alone make it a winner as a lot of our photo-shoots take place on the move whether it be at a wedding or in the streets of NYC. The B2 packs plenty of power at 250WS, which is ample for the majority of work we do. It also has some light shaping tools built exclusively for it that are also very lightweight. There is a new lightweight speed ring for softboxes and octas. That may not sound like something of value, but if you have held the studio version of the speed ring from Profoto, you know how heavy and well made they are. When we are on the go and carrying gear on our backs, every once counts. So any improvements in weight makes a difference on our ability to focus on shooting rather than gear.. There is also a snoot, various grid spots, and a new 2 foot Octa available, and we adore using them all.
What makes the Profoto B1 and B2 unique goes beyond their portability and size though. If coupled with a TTL AIR Remote, the TTL works perfectly with Canon and Nikon Gear allowing you complete freedom to concentrate on the shot. If, like me, you are working with the latest Mirrorless cameras like the Panasonic Lumix GH4, or Light Field Cameras like the Lytro Illum, the system works great as well with the standard air remote. So, regardless of the camera you choose, these flashes have the ability to fit in with your workflow smoothly.
We've been working with the B1 version of their portable strobes now for quite some time, which has twice the output of the B2, but with a considerably larger head. The B1 is our go to light source both in our studio, and on location these days as we have come to love the fact that we can cut the power cord to an outlet. Being wireless in the studio and on location is a great benefit when it comes to enjoying the creative process, and being able to place lights exactly where we want them.
The B2 has a cord that connects to a battery pack. So, technically it isn't wireless I suppose, but you don't have to connect to an outlet because the power pack is battery operated. What makes the B2 so intriguing is that the head is dramatically smaller and lighter than the B1, and the power output is ideal for 85% of situations where we need strobe. It is so small and light you can even use it as your on camera flash via TTL if you get a flash bracket. The power pack can power two B2 heads simultaneously as well, and you can dial in exact exposure on each with ease.
The price point of Profoto gear is certainly above that of many other strobe companies. However, I have to say that when it comes to strobe you are purchasing gear that has the potential to last your entire career. In my personal experience I've wasted a lot of money on equipment that I deemed "good enough" at the time only to have to re-invest once I experienced best in class strobes first hand. There is a difference on many levels I've learned. In everything I do, whether it be snowboarding, photography, video, sailing, etc.... high quality gear makes the experience that much more enjoyable making the investment worth every penny.
Quality of light matters to me as an artist. Compliment that mindset with the short flash duration, control, power, portability, TTL, and seemingly endless light shaping tools that Profoto makes available and it seems to me that the price point is quite reasonable for a product that will stay with me long after I've bought and sold digital cameras and lenses over and over again with upgrades.
You can learn more about the Profoto B1 and B2 on their microsite dedicated to this innovative new technology at http://profoto.com/offcameraflash/ where other professional photographers share their experiences as well.

Hello, Checkpoint 3.8 in the 18 August Guidelines [1] includes the sentence "Advise the user to refresh content according to the same schedule as the automatic refresh, and indicate when the user has not yet refreshed content." The term "prompt" appears in checkpoints 9.2 and 1.5. The terms "alert" and "notification" are used in checkpoint 1.5. I propose the following: 1) That we only use the term "notify" in the checkpoints and that we define it to mean "inform the user through the user interface". Note that I do not talk about APIs here. That is a separate requirement (that messages through the UI also be available through an API). 2) That "notify" be independent of a particular mechanism in the user interface (but that any notification be accessible). 3) That the term "prompt" be reserved for a particular UI approach, but that we don't attempt to define it! I would note that the AU Guidelines [2] includes a definition of prompt, but since then, that WG has had a number of discussions on the definition (refer to [3], [4], [5], and [6] at least). 4) In checkpoint 3.8, rewrite the sentence cited above to be "Notify the user ..." 5) We could rewrite checkpoint 9.2 to not use the word prompt: Allow configuration so the user can confirm any form submission not caused by explicit activation of a form submit control. Otherwise, if we intend to use prompt to mean "the user must intervene before anything else happens", we should define it to mean that. I want to avoid having to define it. 6) What techniques, if any, do we need for notification or configuration of notification in general? a) Configuration to have no notification. b) Configuration to prompt the user and require input before continuing. c) Configuration to notify the user but without requiring any input from the user. - Ian [1] http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/WD-UAAG10-20000818/ [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-ATAG10-20000203/ [3] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-au/2000AprJun/0199.html [4] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-au/2000AprJun/0168.html [5] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-au/2000AprJun/0073.html [6] http://www.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-au/2000AprJun/0080.html -- Ian Jacobs (email@example.com) http://www.w3.org/People/Jacobs Tel: +1 831 457-2842 Cell: +1 917 450-8783Received on Sunday, 27 August 2000 19:38:20 UTC

WOW - take a look at this absolutely gorgeous Isabel feather dress from Monsoon. I can't stop looking at it! If you are looking for a short green bridesmaid dress for a vintage style wedding then I would definitely think about asking your girls to try this one on. I love the embroidery on the skirt and the lovely detailing on the sleeves! This dress retails at £169 and is available from Monsoon.
Another gorgeous green dress from Monsoon is this Cath Maxi Dress. The twist detailing at the waist is a flattering shape for your bridesmaids and may be a great option if one or more are a little tummy conscious. I love the way that this dress fall - I think it oozes sophistication, elegance and Hollywood glamour. I think that this dress is fantastically priced at £119.
This dress from Mango is a steal at only £49.99 on sake. The shape is very elegant and the style is simple with a small amount of sparkly embellishment at the waist. The draped neckline looks gorgeous and finishes this simple gown off perfectly. This dress is available at mango.com
Debut at Debenhams offers this lovely summers pale green blossom shoulder ruched maxi dress. The shape is flattering on all figures by having a high waist and ruching detail. This dress is versatile; the pretty blossom shoulder straps can be removed resulting in a strapless look. I personally love the shoulder detailing and think that it adds to the charm of the dress. This dress retails at £110 and is available at Debenhams.

The weather is going to get worse: we're expecting strong winds and rain for the next days. Since the Marina in Salina doesn't offer a good protection from the winds coming, we had to change Marina à back to Lipari again!
It was not easy to leave the Marina at Salina though. Basti did a great manoeuvre: I think that even the workers at the Marina which came to help us, were impressed! He really knows now what he's doing and is much more confident behind the wheel then for 3 months ago! Really top!
The way back to Lipari was cool: we had strong wind from behind but the waves were not big. We made a small video…you have to check it!

The Weekly Peanut, Issue 7
I have heard no further reports of Daphne being a cookie thief since providing her with snacks of her own. Bought her some of those Baby Mum Mum snacks to have at home, and (despite the mess) they are AWESOME because they keep her busy for a while. She sure loves them too.
Daphne is proving to be a pretty tough cookie. Inevitably, learning to walk/stand is going to lead to some tumbles and I've been pretty impressed with her ability to bounce back. I try not to make a big deal to get her worked up, but then there are other times that THANK GOODNESS SHE DOESN'T GET HURT because I am laughing so hard at how silly she looks. I can give you an example:
Did I mention Daphne loves food? We've been breaking out the high chair and giving her mini portions of whatever we eat to keep her busy while we have our own dinner and she LOVES it. When I pull her out of the high chair it seems like there's more food in the chair and on the floor than got in her mouth, but she doesn't mind (neither does the dog).
Friday. We'll call it Not So Good Friday. Day care was closed for the holiday so Ian and I had worked it out that I would have peanut duty until the afternoon when he would get off early and take over so I could take care of work stuff. Started out ok. Took Daphne down to the pediatrician to have them look at her eye (the lid had gotten puffy again *le sigh*) and she told us that it was time to go to the Ophthalmologist to find a long term solution to Daphne's tear duct issues. I called the eye doc in the parking lot and WHAT A COINCIDENCE they had a cancellation and an opening that afternoon and could squeeze her in. SCORE. I took Daphne down to work so we could cheer on some of our work studies who were graduating (she behaved awesomely). Then we headed up to the eye doc. I am literally around the corner from their office when my car starts vibrating. I hop out at a stop light thinking my front bumper has finally fallen off (long story) but no, it's just a flat. I pull over to the side of the road that is the same road the doc is on. I call them to let them know where I am, that I have a flat but I will change it as quickly as possible but then I will be at the appointment. I can do this (I have changed my tire at least 3 times). I jack up the car no problem. I grab the wrench and get the first nut off with some strain but nothing too bad. The next one? It's not budging. What the hell. I pull, i grunt, I strain, and... SNAP. THE WHOLE FRICKIN BOLT COMES OFF. As in the bolt that is attached to the WHEEL OF THE CAR, the bolt that is supposed to hold the whole weight of the car BREAKS OFF IN MY HAND. No really. At this point I call Ian who is thankfully already on his way to us (he was going to take over at the doc so I could head in to work). Ian tries to help, and 2 more bolts break off in his hands. So my car is definitely not driving anywhere. We call roadside, it is a frickin ORDEAL but we finally get a tow truck. Daphne through all this is a TOTAL CHAMP, no fussing or whining, she is just peacefully hanging out in her car seat. Bless her. So we get the car to the dealership, the car needs more $$ in repairs than the car is worth so it looks like I'll be ditching my car sooner than anticipated.
The next day we had to go buy Ian a car (that was the plan, just later in the year) so I can take over driving his car. Buying a car is a long and annoying process. Daphne was there with us through the whole thing. I nursed her a couple of times in the waiting room for service (awwwwkward) BUT they also had some awesome kids' toys to help entertain her. We survived, Ian got a new Civic, and I was ready to retire to my bed for about a month. My arms, lower back, and shoulders all feel like they are about to fall off from carrying my (16 lb 6 oz!) kid around for two days.
Sunday was Easter. I had planned to try and talk Ian out of going to visit his family in Tampa, because I was just EXHAUSTED and we'd put the peanut through so much already, but I felt better with a decent night's sleep so we packed up and hit the road. Baby Mum Mums saved the day AGAIN by keeping her happy for the car ride. Daphne was great for her first Easter. She wanted to eat EVERYTHING that we ate: mashed potatoes, baked beans, chicken, and even her very first cupcake! She posed for lots and lots of pictures and even took her first tractor ride and "hunted" for eggs.
That night at home during bathtime we made a major discovery: Daphne's first tooth has finally broken through the gumline!! It's just a tiny sharp point, but it is OUT and I never would have known it was bothering her at all. Hurray, Peanut!!
Should have known I was speaking too soon.
The next day I got a call from day care. They wanted to WARN me that Daphne was teething VERY hard, she was very unhappy, hurting a lot, and probably running a fever. They said I might want to make sure I stocked up on some sort of teething treatment if I hadn't yet and maybe to bring some in to day care with me for the future. Yeesh. Sure enough, when I picked her up she was NOT happy and burning up. Gave her some ibuprofen when we got home and she just wanted to curl up on my chest and snuggle the rest of the evening (no complaints!). She went down for bed at her normal time and slept through the night so I guess she felt better.
The good news is that since then she hasn't had as bad of a day. She's still teething but she otherwise seems to be feeling pretty normal. Last night, after nursing, she was just lying across my lap and she started giggling and chuckling to herself for no reason that I could see. She continues to impress me with her ability to entertain herself.
We have a BIG adventure coming up this week, including the peanut's first airplane ride. HOLD ME, I'M SCARED!

Winners Agi & Sam and Teatum Jones, with models.
Agi & Sam and Teatum Jones were today announced as the menswear and womenswear winners, respectively, of the 2015/16 International Woolmark Prize British Isles regional final, at an awards event held at One Horse Guards in London.
A judging panel comprising Roland Mouret, Jason Basmajian, Dylan Jones, Sophie Neophitou, Anita Barr, Simon Chilvers and Stuart McCullough selected Agi & Sam as the menswear winner and Teatum Jones as the winner for the womenswear category.
"Agi & Sam are brilliant because they have such an idiosyncratic point of view; they know exactly what they are doing," commented Dylan Jones, Editor-in-Chief of GQ. Jason Basmajian, Creative Director of Gieves and Hawkes, added, "They've demonstrated an inspirational combination of creativity, innovation and commercial sensibility. This is an exciting duo to watch as they develop their brand."
"What we loved about Teatum Jones winning this prize was their use and development of Merino wool, from their concept to the final garment," explained Roland Mouret. "It was extraordinary and we thought it was really representative of what Britain's young designers stand for."
Agi & Sam commented, "Wool is a strong part of our brand DNA; it's amazing to get this recognition. We already use wool a lot in our collections because we've come to realise that no other fibre can match it in terms of versatility and quality."
"We are absolutely thrilled about winning this prize," enthused Teatum Jones, "and what really excites us for the future is the potential of Merino wool, looking at it in a purist and scientific way. Winning the regional award has made us even more motivated to create the most innovative collection we can for the international finals."
Chosen from amongst the eight most promising talents in British fashion design, both winners gain a financial contribution of AU$50,000 (approximately £24,500 1), plus the opportunity to represent the British Isles and compete in the prestigious international final. The final for menswear will be held in Florence in January 2016, and the womenswear final will be held in New York in February 2016.
For the next six to seven months, the winning designers will be required to develop a capsule collection in Merino wool, to be showcased at one of two extraordinary events that will highlight the six menswear finalists and six womenswear finalists selected from across the globe.
The finalists will compete for the coveted International Woolmark Prize, the winners being awarded an additional AU$100,000 (approximately £49,0001) and the opportunity to be stocked in the most important retailers of the world, including Harvey Nichols (London), 10 Corso Como (Milan, Beijing and Shanghai), Matchesfashion.com (online), Mytheresa.com (online), Saks Fifth Avenue (NYC), Joyce (China), Isetan Mitsukoshi (Japan), Boutique 1 (UAE) and David Jones (Australia).
The Woolmark Company Managing Director Stuart McCullough explains, "The International Woolmark Prize is our commitment to educating the next generation of fashion industry leaders about the extraordinary potential of Merino wool, and we congratulate Agi & Sam and Teatum Jones on their win."
"With the number of countries represented the largest yet, the International Woolmark Prize is a truly global celebration of emerging talent and most importantly provides the winning designers with a unique opportunity for commercial success on a global scale."
The Woolmark Company would like to thank the event sponsors MAC, Toni & Guy and Johnstons of Elgin for their support.

Born Alessandro di Filipepi in Florence, Botticelli began studying painting in the studio of Fra Filippo Lippi. Like Lippi, Botticelli was accomplished at both frescoes and panel paintings. The artist's art, prints and posters reflect a thorough knowledge of classical works and were revered for their combination of contemporary Florentine style and Classical prototypes.
Throughout his lifetime, Botticelli was held in high esteem and enjoyed the patronage of the powerful Medici court, the ruling family of Florence. The Medici interests in Platonic philosophy and classical themes provided an opportunity for Botticelli to explore mythological subjects as well as traditional religious themes in his art, prints and posters. The artist's innovative interpretations of both religious and mythological subjects reflect a level of sophistication that far exceeded his peers. One of Botticelli's most innovative contributions was depicting his subjects, whether religious or mythological, in the contemporary costume of the Florentine court. His famed Birth of Venus, defined by the artist's expressive, lyrical line, set the standard for Renaissance beauty. While overshadowed by Leonardo and Michelangelo, Botticelli is credited with many of the stylistic innovations that presage the startling developments of the High Renaissance.
After the Renaissance, Botticelli's reputation languished until his art, prints and posters were rediscovered in the late 19th century. It has since enjoyed resurgence in popularity and has claimed a prominent place in museums worldwide.

"What is worship?"
An age old question that has both divided and united churches throughout time.
Everyone has their own definitions and theories about what true worship is, and most are based off Scripture.
What I love most about the discussion of worship is that it's just that: a discussion.
Some decide to place staunch limitations on what does and does not fall into the category of worship, but it's obvious that the subject matter is much more broader than that. Jesus summed up all the laws of the Old Testament into two commands: Love God. Love Others. (Matthew 22:36-40) That's it.
So where does worship fall in those two categories? Is worship, loving God? Or is worship, loving others? Or is worship both?
What do you think?
If you aren't sure, ask your worship leaders what they think!
If you ARE a worship leader, pitch in!
I'll add my two cents next week :)

Strategy & Tactics
Presented by Speed & Smarts
"You can't always win the race, but you can always learn something that will give you a better chance of winning the next race."
This has always been the guiding philosophy behind Speed & Smarts newsletter, and now it applies to our new Strategy and Tactics Seminars as well.
Most sailors want to keep learning, and that's what these seminars are all about. They're filled with race-winning tips, tricks and wisdom, much of which comes from nearly 25 years of Speed & Smarts newsletters.
In the winter of 2019 we are offering five new seminars:
- Starting Strategy and Tactics
- Upwind Strategy and Tactics
- Downwind Strategy and Tactics (New)
- Mark Rounding Techniques, Tactics and Rules (New)
- Drone's-Eye View: Strategy and tactics around the race course (New)
The first four of these are each about three hours long, so two of them fit conveniently into a one-day seminar (or all four fit into a two-day weekend). Sailors have the option to attend just one seminar in the morning, one in the afternoon, or they can attend both and be done by 4 pm. The 'Drone's-Eye View' seminar is about two hours long and is designed primarily as an evening program.
For a more detailed look at the content of these seminars, click here.
Each Speed & Smarts Seminar is filled with videos, diagrams, charts, discussions and practical tips to improve sailors' racing performance and confidence. The seminars are usually held on a Saturday or Sunday from January to May. A typical day includes one seminar from 9 am to noon, an hour for lunch, and a second seminar from 1 to 4 pm. Sailors can attend either one, or both.
We are looking for yacht clubs, local fleets and other sailing organizations who would like to host a Speed & Smarts seminar this winter. We will provide an instructor (see bios here), all the course content, and materials for participants (see list at right).
For more info about hosting a seminar, see these two informational fliers: Flier #1 Flier #2

From WaPo:
Graduate degree in architecture here…so thankful to have a job in this economy!
But this makes me roll my eyes even more when teachers complain about "no jobs" They have the best prospects yet they seem to complain the most!
Phew! Happy that I'm a life scientist working in natural resources education and research. 🙂
As a Graphic Designer and Web Developer, I'm straddling the Arts and Computers fields. 2 year degree, 2 years experience, part-time job and part-time freelance. It's hard times for a lot of people I know.
There are a lot more teachers in the country than architects. Therefore, a lower unemployment percentage than architects could still mean that there are actually many many more teachers who can't find jobs than there are architects who can't find jobs.
Kristin … it's probably partly because they're attacked a lot. It's hard not to respond poorly when your work is constantly devalued.
Also, see Heather G's comment.
Sorry, my point here wasn't to get into a debate about 'which profession has it worse off' or 'which profession is most worthy of sympathy.' I have great respect for the work that teachers do and feel for everyone who is without a job, regardless of profession.
I've probably just sat in on one too many dinner parties where everyone around the table was a teacher except for me! Seems like the conversation always becomes teacher vent-fest and I'm the architect that has "no idea" what its like to be undervalued or underpaid! Yeah right, anyone in the architecture profession knows otherwise!

what to expect when you attend our church
Our Sunday church service lasts from 10-11:30am. Wednesday service commonly known as our "hour of power," goes from 7-8:00pm. Children and youth services are held for each service.
People always ask "what should I wear?" You should wear what you feel most comfortable in. To give you some perspective, about half of our church wears jeans, others are business casual with a few suit and ties mixed in.
The first half of our service is lead by The Tribe of Judah, our contemporary praise band. You'll experience open worship with modern songs, hands lifted high and even people coming to the front to praise.
The second half of our service is lead by our Pastor, Don Adkins who is a teaching pastor preaching directly from the bible. He always delivers a message to help stretch your faith and grow in your walk with God.
You can always find an usher, someone at our Guest Central desk or any volunteer that is wearing a white lanyard if you have any questions or concerns before, during or after service.

Alleged White House gunman did not act alone, mother says
The man suspected of firing bullets at the White House was obsessed with President Obama and believed that he was on a mission from God when he allegedly used a high-powered weapon to take shots at the presidential mansion, cracking one of the windows outside the Obamas' living quarters, authorities said.
But the man's mother said there's no way her son is capable of such an act, and that if he did commit it, he had to have been under the influence of someone else.
Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez, 21, of Idaho Falls, Idaho, was arrested Wednesday in Pennsylvania following a multi-agency manhunt. The search went into overdrive after Tuesday's discovery of two bullets outside the White House, including one that struck a historic window but was halted by protective glass.
"Oscar alone would not be able to do any of this," Maria Hernandez told the Idaho Falls Post Register. "Maybe if he was guided by someone else or something on the Internet, but I really don't know."
The president was never in any danger in connection with the incident, officials said. He and the first lady were in California on Friday when the shots were fired, although it's unclear whether daughters Sasha and Malia were home at the time.
Authorities believe that Ortega-Hernandez dressed in black and positioned his car near the White House at about 9:30 p.m. Friday, using a high-powered weapon to open fire, the Associated Press reported.
Officials had responded to the sound of gunfire that night but were apparently unaware that the White House was the target. As part of that investigation, they found Ortega-Hernandez's car and an assault rifle inside.
It was not until Tuesday that authorities discovered that a bullet had struck a window of the Yellow Oval Room, which is in the middle of the family's living quarters, and that another one had struck the exterior of the home.
The suspect is expected to make his first court appearance at 2 p.m. Thursday in Pittsburgh.
If Ortega-Hernandez did fire the bullets, his motive remains unclear. The Associated Press reported that authorities believe he has mental health issues.
There are also early indications that he was obsessed with Obama and believed attacking the White House was part of a personal mission from God, the wire service reported. Although he has an arrest record in three states, he has no apparent ties to extremist organizations, U.S. Park Police have said.
Ortega-Hernandez's family reported him missing Oct. 31 after he failed to return from a vacation. "He was gone from the city; said he was going on vacation and was supposed to be back in a week," Hernandez told the Idaho Falls newspaper. "Three weeks later, he wasn't back and his girlfriend reported him missing." (Viewing the article requires a paid subscription.)
She said it is too soon to jump to any conclusions about her son. "They don't know if it was him driving the car and if it was him [who fired the gun]," she told the newspaper. "He is just a person of interest. They don't know if it was him."
She disagreed with any suggestion that her son might be mentally ill, adding that he has no history of such problems and has never been on medication.
"He has different ideas than other people, just like everyone, but he was perfectly fine the last time I saw him," Hernandez said. "He might be saying weird stuff that sounds crazy, but that doesn't mean [he] is crazy. He might be confused and scared."

The recipe calls for 1 T finely chopped habanero pepper. I only used one habanero(~1 t chopped) since I was making it for the kiddos. If you like it hot, add the full tablespoon. Ours was not hot at all. The first time I made this I used 2 habaneros with seeds and ribs and it was HOT. Anyway you make it...hot of mild, chicken or shrimp...this pasta dish is YUMMY!!
- 1 pound linguine (I used Farfalle(bow tie) pasta)
- 1/4 cup kosher salt
- 2 T unsalted butter
- 1 T olive oil
- 1 1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces or equal amount shrimp
- 2 T Essence, recipe below
- 1 1/2 t salt
- 1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
- 1 T finely chopped habanero pepper
- 1 T minced garlic
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup reserved pasta cooking water
- 1/2 cup chopped green onion tops (I didn't use)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 2 T chopped fresh parsley leaves (I didn't use)
Directions: Set a large 1-gallon stock pot of water to a boil and add the kosher salt. Place the pasta in the pot and stir until the water returns to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce. set a 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and olive oil to the pan. Once the butter has melted, season the chicken or shrimp with 1 T of the Essence and 1/2 t of the salt and add to the saute pan. Sear the chicken/shrimp until well browned/pink(shrimp) on both sides, about 2 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add the onions and habaneros to the pan and saute until the onions are softened and lightly caramelized, about 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the cream, remaining 1 T of the Essence, remaining 1 t of salt, and the chicken/shrimp to the pan and bring to a boil. Cook the sauce until the cream is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. add the tomatoes, pasta and the reserved cooking water to the pan and cook tossing to incorporate for 3-5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and add the green onions, Parmesan and parsley and toss to blend(I added extra tomatoes here). Serve immediately.
2 1/2 T paprika
2 T salt
2 T garlic powder
1 T black pepper
1 T cayenne
1 T dried oregano
1 T dried Thyme

The StoryCode Curriculum
Powerfully Interdisciplinary, Fulfilling a Host of Common Core Learning Standards
In using fiction to explore mathematical concepts, StoryCode fulfills broad ranges of Common Core Learning Standards for ELA and math as well as literacy in science and technical subjects. The computer science understandings and practices embodied in StoryCode align naturally with the standards issued by the Computer Science Teachers Association for the US and Canada.
StoryCode can take many different forms in a school:
|• a text-rich
math course
|• a tech-rich
ELA course
|• a team-taught,
double credit
ELA/math course
|• a technology experience
scalable from 3 days
to an entire year
|• a science
Reading and Coding Skills Develop Together
While StoryCode learners are exploring abstract digital principles through fiction, they also apply them practically, creating fun, working programs which embody these concepts. Starting with MIT's super-friendly, super-transparent Scratch environment and finishing with object-oriented Python, StoryCoders use both software and written responses to document their understandings of the guiding texts.
An Accessible, Transformative Curriculum
Because most teachers will already have experience with either its literary practices or its mathematical understandings, training for StoryCode is quick and rewarding. Its digital and literary concepts are fundamental enough for teachers to employ regardless of their primary license area. StoryCode can therefore be instrumental in raising a school's total digital literacy and can, in fact, be the interdisciplinary foundation of a school or district-wide approach to technology.

Are defeated thoughts killing your divine dreams? 5 faith scriptures to replace stinking thinking
Article by Jessica Hall // EEW Magazine Spiritual
I'm too old. It's too late. Good things always skip over me. I don't have enough of what I need to get anything done. Sound familiar?
Have you allowed negative thoughts just like these to pervade your mind, cloud your faith and cause you to doubt if your divine dreams will ever come true?
It's not easy to believe God for the best when you have faced the worst possible circumstances many times in your life. And yet, His word challenges you to keep on hoping, trusting and declaring that there are many good things to come, despite what it looks like today.
If you're having trouble kicking defeated thoughts to the curb, here are 5 faith scriptures to meditate on so you can stop the stinking thinking and begin your journey toward victorious living.
#1 Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)- "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
Even when you don't see a way, believe God has already made the way. You must keep the faith! Remember that all things work together for the good of the one who loves the Lord and is called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).
#2 Hebrews 11:6 (KJV)- "But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
You can't hope to see your divine dreams fulfilled while speaking curses over your life. God requires that you believe. Today, stop doubting the One who freely delivers every good and perfect gift. Know that God's will will be made manifest as you trust Him.
#3 James 1:6-8 (ESV)- "But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways."
When you ask the Lord for anything, whether it be wisdom, strength, joy, peace, resources or even greater clarity for your vision, trust that He is willing, and more than able. Don't let the wind of doubt knock you down as you wait. Ensure that your faith for the fulfillment of every need and divine dream is built upon the Solid Rock, and His name is Jesus!
#4 Mark 11:24 (NIV)- "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."
Pray in confidence. Even if it takes longer than you hoped it would, don't waver. When you ask your Father for great things in faith, as the word says, BELIEVE that you will receive it, and you'll have that thing according to His will.
#5 Psalm 37:4-5 (ESV)- "Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your ways to him, and he will act."
Last and certainly not least, don't just dream big without sacrificing big. That means live your life in such a way that you submit your desires to the Lord. Trade in your wants for His. When you do that, what you crave and how you behave will align with God's desire and design. You'll be in synch with the Father. There is no other way to ensure your divine purpose will be fulfilled.
Have faith for your divine dreams and say no to negative thinking. Furthermore, don't just speak positive confessions over your vision. Be sure everything you say is rooted in the word of God. Let His will be your will.
No more, no less.
And keep on dreaming. Expect the best, for the best is yet to come!

The Fashion & Culture Research Lab was started by Kelly Reddy-Best at Iowa State University with a team of her undergraduate and graduate students in order to promote collaborative thinking and learning. Some student members have assistantships, some are her graduate advisees, some are working on independent studies, and others have undergraduate research internships funded through the college.
The lab is based in 1058 LeBaron Hall where the team works on different research projects that analyze the relationships between appearance, fashion, clothing, style, and identity. Our first goal and focus is to research topics related to historically underrepresented (also referred to by some people as minority) individuals and communities. Our second goal is to move the findings from our research beyond the academy through different outlets such as film and public exhibitions.
