Mother makes rice every time Pablo comes to visit. She smiles sly and quiet. "Set the razor to zero," little brother says. "That'll show him." The minister and the U.S. Minister enjoy a refreshing, restorative ocean bath inside of the black & white tellie. While big brother expounds and seems again, "Mom, I am not getting my hair cut." "No haircut, and they'll be hell to pay," warns papa. But more important than that, the scene setting of the little one-room European family kitchen also contains some beautiful although flower-filled unfaded, but fade-appear rolled and pasted as if on think air wallpaper. The flowers seem to dance more than. Two of the smaller children run to the mailbox to lick a mysterious envelope just delivered. Little things happen, as sister pricks her long, thin finger on a perhaps more floral ascent embroidery there upon a bright metal chair as she sits among the peace of the little garden. But the family orates fast as they hold each emotional body toward each other so very still. As Strand Releasing presents a Universal Production of Six Sales, the Beatles 1966 tour begins.
One teacher and a John Lennon quote, "They make you something they want to make you." Rings true, and yet as he also states, until they come to find out about you. In short, it is good for them and you most of the time to find out the true self you really are. Still the day of racquetball as king between two males during a time of business-communication, later an interesting pan of the film winds around a chrysanthe staircase, and while an old-fashioned huge by the standard of today tape player winds around the world sound-move record of each segment of the life of interaction of the stars of the film who only play at being fellow members – One may consider a lot of the lyrics of the Beatles who wrote a lot of true account rhyme about the fact, also often exuding wonder behind the reasons of many a different relationship of couples, lovers, husbands, wives, parents and loners and even small children and youth of age.
"Your parents never told you to refuse rides with strangers," queries the teacher on his way to a very 1960's Beatles exploration of his own. A day of that time, only somewhat, but mostly only during that time period safe to hitchhike and meet the occasional interesting wisdom or lecture of safety by an adult or others, the bland & red-coated teen-girl has escaped the faded family abode and decided to embark on an adventure of her own. Blessed for her, she begins a rare positive approach, which pretty much as her stranger chauffer told her, taking rides with strangers is taking your own life into the hands of a possible rapest, murderer or otherwise. And even as he chides though, the fortunate girl, fallen into the hands of an avid & caring male instructor, still he marvels at the opportunity to protect the girl, and a novue, her travel companion and a boy close to her age with her, sits in the back seat. The teacher uses the time as an opportunity to talk to them. He is kind and generous. Perhaps the two are luckier than they know. That they had hitched a ride on the auto of a man who lives the song, and after one of the teenagers insult his favorite band.
The Beatles, easygoing goes from this to a demand they get out of the auto and apply foot on journey for the rest of that. The teacher suggests though once all forgiven and back on the road that some of the lyrics for the present ideal of the group, he may want to edit to say Dog Day Night instead of Hard Day Night. The indication of the weary state of world traveller for the group, the implication just seemed to say that what the band members really desired to enjoy, a good night rest, of course the journey of the three here and that of the travelling famous still parallel. All search for rest, peace, abundance, joy, happiness and a good and well creative life.

Ahh brunch. The best meal of all time. Am I right?
As a Brixton resident I'm lucky enough to have a huge choice of places, just a couple of minutes walk away from my flat, that I know will serve up a great brunch.
There's ones that ease a hangover, ones that make me reminisce about past travels or get a taste for what future travels are like.
If youre overwhelmed by choice and couldn't possibly decide on where to have brunch in Brixton then look no further. Here's my list and pick of the best when it comes to brunch in Brixton village and beyond.
Best for feasting
Carioca in Brixton Village is my go to place when I'm hungry but don't fancy a greasy fry up.
The restaurant, as with many in Brixton, is low key and that's all part of the charm. Serving up traditional dishes from Brazil for breakfast, lunch and dinner, carioca not only makes me reminisce about my Brazilian travels, but it leaves me very full and that's all I could want from a brunch.
The Ipanema, chorizo, rocket, avocado and a poahed egg on a Brazilian corn maize muffin is my go to and the freshly squeezed orange juice makes a great accompaniment.
Best for hangovers
Sometimes all you need is a greasy fry up and that's where this next engtry comes in. Unfortunately I can't remember the name (I'm not even sure if it has one?) but you won't be able to miss this cafe.
It's a proper builders cafe in Brixton Village (the section closest to the tube station where Franco Manca is). Look for the plastic white chairs and cheap table cloths plus an array of slightly less hip people sitting in it.
It doesn't serve fancy looking cuisine, nor does it give off hipster vibes, but it does do bacon, eggs and beans and that is all you need on a hangover.
Best for exotic brunches
French & Grace serve up delicious plates that celebrate Middle Eastern flavours and rustic British style.
Their dinner time menus include pickles and falafel to spiced lamb, sheep's milk halloumi all wrapped up in delicious flatbreads. You can't go wrong with the Middle Eastern dishes from French and Grace whatever time of day.
For brunch you can expect traditional eggs and bacon or more exotic options such as harissa beans with feta and sumac fried beans with chorizo on sourdough and a soft boiled egg. Great for something a little different.
Best for Pancakes
Senzala creperie has to be the winner when it comes to pancake brunches. Senzala serves up both savoury crepes and sweet crepes. There's plenty of filling in both savoury and sweet crepes and they're best enjoyed with a cider (typically French) and a green salad on the side.
The traditional galette, a campagnarde, made with cheese and ham, will get your weekend off to a great start.
Best for coffee
F Mondays coffee on Brixton hill serves great coffees and does fantastic cake and pastries as well as brunches. Treat yourself to the likes of bacon and egg breakfast cups or smashed banana with honey on sourdough toast. If you're not much of a bruncher and can only face a cup of strong coffee then don't worry, there's excellent coffee to be had here.
However, I'm pretty sure you won't be able to avoid their cookies, brownies and cakes, they just look (and taste) too damn good.

Ghetto Tramp- by Nick Granatofeatured, Fly Patterns, Step-by-Step Tutorials — By Kevin Hospodar on April 12, 2011 7:15 pm
Hook: Gamakatsu 5/0 rubber worm hook
Thread: Danville 210 flat waxed nylon
Rattle: Glass 5 mm
Tail: Flash N Slinky and Flashabou
Body Wrap: Palmer Chenille
Skirt: Net Craft Turbo Flare Bass Skirt
Back: Flashabou and Peacock Herl
Collar: Ostrich Marabou
Eyes: Hareline 3D Pupil eyes
Ghetto Tram's conception came to be one fateful snowy cold day in January on a trip to Cabelas. The reason for the trip was to pilfer the gear section of hooks and a few other odds and ends. The three of us split up and shopped around for a little bit. After a while we all ended up on the same isle at the same time… This isle was home to the now beloved Bass Skirt. It was like they had there own gravitational pull and there we were staring at these bass skirts and the wheels started turning. Not a lot was said for the first couple minutes except for a few "holy shits" and "dude". Needless to say the three of us put a good dent in the stock and have been incorporating them into flies ever since. Overall I have really been digging on these bass skirt flies and they have a lot going for them. They add enough weight to slowly sink, give great bulk in the water while still being light and easy to cast, are fairly cheep, are quick and easy to use while coming in ever style and color imaginable, and if you really want to dork out you can make your own. But the best part is they straight up fish!
Start your thread 1/3 of the way back from the eye. You'll use this as a reference point on the rest of the fly.
Tie in the bottom color of Flash N Slinky
Tie in your flash and leave it untrimmed.
Fold it back on top of itself and tie it off.
Repeat the same steps of the top color of Flash N Slinky and flash as you did with the bottom color.
Repeat the tie in of the flash
Tie in your rattle on the bottom of the hook shank.
Glue the first 1/2" of the tail past the hook bend. This will keep the long tail from fouling.
Coat the rattle in glue and advance the thread.
Wrap the palmer chenille over the rattle and over the glue.
Tie in the back strip of flash and fold it back on it's self like the previous to colors
Tie in a generous clump of long peacock herl.
Make a nice flush taper so the bass skirt seats up nice and tight.
Coat the thread with glue all the way around the hook shank.
Slide the the skirt up the the peacock.
Take a 5" long strip of 3/0 lead.
Wrap the lead around the skirt to keep the legs out of the way while you finish the head.
Tie in and wrap the ostrich marabou forward to the eye.
Build up a head, whip finish and cut the thread.
Use glue to seal the head and apply it to the back of the eyes before applying them.
This is Ghetto Tramp is ready to fish

Oh yeah… you need this fly in your box!

According to recent reports, an average family may be spending more on their groceries than necessary. Even with coupons and discounts, shoppers have the tendency to go beyond their budget at least once or twice during their supermarket trips. To avoid falling in the same pitfall, here are some of the common supermarket mistakes shoppers commit that you should avoid:
Shopping on a weekly basis
According to some experts, shopping on a weekly basis is not entirely a wise move financially because you tend to pay full price for at least half of what you buy. Rather than buy only what you need for the week, it is recommended to stock up on items that are on sale and you know you'll always use. Avoid buying perishable items in bulk unless you have a freezer. To take advantage of sales, make sure to check your stores' sale schedules and sync your shopping accordingly.
Shopping without a list
Avoid going to the supermarket without a list on hand. If you shop according to whim, you tend to overspend because there's no list guiding you on what to buy. Remember that the supermarket is full of enticing and tempting items. The list is one way to avoid getting tempted and spending more than what you bargained for.
Sticking too rigidly on your list
While bringing a list is one way to stay on budget, you don't have to be rigid about following it all the way through. You need to leave room for flexibility especially when it comes to sticking with your recipes for the week. Studies suggest that only two out of ten items in a recipe will be on sale. You might want to plan recipes according to what's sale if you want to save more money on groceries.
Failing to use coupons
Coupons are available to lure customers to shop. Take advantage of these discounts as they can add up to a significant sum in the long run. With the help of mobile apps, you also don't need to carry around stacks of coupons. All you have to do now is download the right app and you have a virtual collection of coupons and discounts handy whenever you head to the supermarket.
Buying pre-packaged produce
If you're after convenience, prepared produce may seem like the perfect choice but they aren't always the most economical. In fact, pre-packaged produce is believed to be at least three times more costly than its counterpart. You also should take into consideration that fresh produce spoil faster. It's best to buy only what you need for the week to avoid waste.
Failing to use the store loyalty card
If you shop at the same supermarket store month after month, it makes sense to use the store loyalty card. As incentive to loyal members, you may be able to avail more discounts and special offers when you shop for your groceries. Apply for a loyalty card if you don't have one yet and make sure to swipe it every time you buy groceries to accumulate points and rewards.
Not checking the cost per unit
In order to have a clear and right picture of your items' cost, make sure to check the cost per unit on the tag. Most supermarkets have this displayed on their shelves so it's easier for customers to compare prices. The cost per unit detail is especially helpful when the net weight of the product differ from brand to brand. To save money, you naturally should opt for the one with the lowest cost per unit.
Failing to double check your receipt
Before you leave the store, go home and unpack those groceries, make sure to double check your receipt. While store clerks rarely make mistakes, it can still happen from time to time. By checking your receipt, you make sure that you got the right on sale prices and coupon discounts for your items. If you spot any discrepancies on your receipt, head over to the customer service desk and you should get instant refund for the error.

By Connie Ray, Growing for a Healthy Future Project Coordinator, Campus Compact Mid-Atlantic AmeriCorps VISTA, Center for Coastal and Watershed Studies
If you were to visit the Religious Coalition for Human Needs (RCEHN) on DeGrange Street two weeks ago, you'd have found a large, empty lot behind the main building. If you visit it today, however, you will find two large, raised garden beds, 4 feet wide, 8 feet long, and 3 feet high.
These are not your average, run-of-the-mill garden beds, either. These are the realization of an innovative design that directly irrigates the gardens from rooftop runoff that would otherwise run into local streams and pollute our water supply. Instead, the building's runoff will now be used to grow vegetables for residents of the homeless shelter.
These beds were constructed on Wednesday, Sept. 20 (in 86-degree heat, no less) thanks to the efforts of 16 dedicated volunteers, including six Hood College students, five Aramark employee volunteers, a regular volunteer at the Religious Coalition, three staff/faculty from Hood College, and a Campus Compact Mid-Atlantic AmeriCorps VISTA.
The build day was sponsored by Aramark Dining Services as part of the nation-wide Aramark Building Community day. Hood's Center for Coastal and Watershed Studies (CCWS) faculty, Drew Ferrier and Claire Hudson, together with AmeriCorps VISTA member Connie Ray, worked with Hood's Food Services Director, Jennifer Curtis, to coordinate the day. Aramark provided both the funds to construct the beds and five employee volunteers to help on the build day.
The construction couldn't have gone any more smoothly. Despite the heat and humidity, our team of volunteers worked hard and had fun building and filling our first two raised beds. At times, we were even serenaded by RCEHN volunteer Matt Gibbons on his recorder with tunes like "Oh, Danny Boy" and the Lord of the Rings theme song.
The beds are the first two of a planned seven to be built at the Religious Coalition as part of the new Growing for a Healthy Future project from the CCWS. The program, which started at the end of June, was designed to address two issues of community concern – food insecurity for residents of Frederick's food deserts and excess stormwater runoff polluting the local watershed.
The pilot vegetable rain garden beds are based on a design tested in Australia but which is new to the United States as far as we know. Water will be piped from the roof's downspout into perforated pipes beneath garden beds before percolating through gravel and sand filters upward into the garden soil.
Instrumental to this project have been this semester's six coastal studies students, who helped construct the garden beds and who will be designing and implementing a strategy to monitor water levels and quality.
We still have five beds left to be funded and constructed, but we are off to a great start! It was a proud day to see such collaboration and dedication from our Hood students and faculty and Aramark employees.
We are excited to test these new stormwater mitigation techniques while also helping empower Frederick's low-income and homeless populations to grow their own healthful produce.

CBC posted video where Justin Trudeau got heckled by a woman about the electoral reform.
Trudeau said they will increase cyber security for the next election, meaning they will kill free speech.
Trudeau also asked the woman if Kelly Leitch should have her own party?
"Do you think that Kellie Leitch should have her own party?" Trudeau said Thursday in Iqaluit. "Because if you have a party that represents the fringe voices … or the periphery of our perspectives and they hold 10, 15, 20 seats in the House, they end up holding the balance of power."

As I said in my first post Sue is in Somerset looking after her Mum. She took the car over on the ferry but unfortunately, the car has decided to play up. The alarm keeps going off at all times of the day and night Sue has had to disconnect the battery so as not to annoy her mums neighbours, she called out the AA but they couldn't sort , she took it down to the local village garage and they removed the alarm fuse but then the car wouldn't start.

Hell Really Exists
As any contemporary Witch, Neo-Pagan, or educated occult historian can tell you, worship of the Christian's devil was never an element of the Old Religion or the Witches' Craft. However, the vast majority of Christians in the Middle Ages believed otherwise. They viewed all Witches as being in league with the Prince of Darkness, and were convinced that it was from him that the Witches received their evil powers. This had a big impact in the area of herbal folklore, as many of the plants used both magickally and medicinally by Witches became forever linked to the devil and branded with diabolical nicknames that reflected this.
The following is a list of plants, beginning with their common names or botanical names (in italics) and followed by their nicknames relating to the devil: Alaskan ginseng: devil's club Alstonia scholaris: devil's tree Asafoetida: devil's dung Bachelor's buttons: devil's flower Belladonna: devil's cherries Bindweed: devil's guts Cassytha spp: devil's twine Celandine: devil's milk Colicroot: devil's-bit Datura: devil's apple Dill: devil-away
Dodder: devil's guts; devil's hair; hellweed Elder: devil's eye
Elephant's foot: devil's grandmother Fairywand: devil's bit
False (or white) hellebore: devil's bite; devil's tobacco Fern: devil's bush Field convolvulus: devil's weed Grapple plant: devil's claw root Hedge bindweed: devil's vine Henbane: devil's eye
Hieracium aurantiacum: devil's paintbrush
Indigo berry: devil's pumpkin
Jimsonweed: devil's-apple; devil's trumpet
Lambertia formosa: mountain devil
Mandrake: Satan's apple
Mayapple: devil's-apple
Mexican poppy: devil's fig
Mistletoe: devil's fuge
Parsley: devil's oatmeal
Periwinkle: devil's eye
Pothos: devil's ivy
Pricklypear cactus: devil's-tongue
Puffball fungus: devil's snuffbox
Queen Anne's lace: devil's plague
Viper's bugloss: bluedevil
Wild yam: devil's-bones
Yarrow: devil's nettle
There is a rather curious legend, which dates back to medieval times, about how the plant known as the devil's-bit (Succisa pratensis) came to receive its devilish name. It holds that when humankind discovered this plant's thick, tapered root was effective in treating many of the ailments that the devil and his minions took great delight in afflicting upon the mortal race, the devil became so infuriated that he took an angry bite out of the plant's root. This resulted in the root's gnashed appearance, which in turn led to its name. A similar legend about the devil is connected to the colicroot (Aletrisfarinosa), which is also known as devil's-bit (in addition to numerous other folk names).
In medieval Europe, oregano was believed to be highly effective in warding off sorcerers, demons, snakes, and venomous animals. Any person who carried oregano as an herbal amulet could neither be harmed nor tempted by the devil.
During the Burning Times, it was a common practice for many inquisitors to burn oregano twigs during the torture sessions of accused Witches. It was believed that the smoke generated by burning oregano effectively kept the devil from aiding his servants.
Parsley was another plant associated with the devil in centuries past. Notorious for its incredibly slow germination, parsley seed was said by some to have to go seven times to hell to obtain the devil's permission before it could grow. Others believed that it had to go to the devil nine times before coming up. According to a related superstition, if parsley seeds failed to germinate, the unfortunate individual who planted them would meet with death sometime within the coming year.
Many devil-fearing folks regard St. John's wort as the most potent herbal amulet against Satan, as well as all things of an evil nature. In Great Britain, it was once common for St. John's wort to be sewn into one's garments for protection against the devil. To keep homes and their inhabitants safe from the evils and mischief of the devil and his fiends, it was customary for sprigs of St. John's wort to be gathered on St. John's Eve and then hung over the doors and windows.
To drive away "phantastical spirits," according to Robert Burton's 17th-century work, The Anatomy of Melancholy, St. John's wort should be gathered on a Friday and then "hung about the neck."
It was not uncommon for children in the 17th century to be made to wear a piece of mistletoe on a necklace for protection against the devil and evil spirits. Many superstitious folks of that period also employed mistletoe as a charm against demonic possession.
It is said that if you cast yarrow upon your doorstep, the devil will dare not enter your house. This procedure is also recommended for keeping out evil spirits and negativity, as well as averting both bad luck and wicked spells.
Centuries ago in England, it was believed that burning the wood of the elder (a tree said to have been used by the
Druids to both bless and curse) invited the devil into one's home. However, hanging elder over the doors and windows works to keep him out.
Holly (once known as the "holy bush") and yews were frequently planted near houses and in churchyards during the Middle Ages in the belief that they kept the devil and his legion of demons well at bay.
In Fenland (a community in the East of England), monkey puzzle trees are often found to have been planted in or near graveyards. Said to be disliked by "Old Scratch," these trees are believed to prevent the devil from gaining entry to hallowed burial grounds and claiming the souls of those being laid to rest.
While monkey puzzle trees may not be to the devil's liking, nuts, on the other hand, are something of which he is said to be quite fond. According to an old legend, the devil goes "nutting" every year on "Holy-Rood Day" (September 14th). In the year 1670, the following was published in Poor Richard's Almanack: "Let not thy son go a nutting on Holie-Rood day, for fear he meet a tall man in black with cloven feet, which may scare him worse than a rosted [roasted] shoulder of mutton will do a hungrie man." Legend also has it that if a person goes to gather nuts on a Sunday, he or she will have the devil as a companion.

Blog Post 209 – Gunpowder
It's hard to miss the sounds of constant explosions overhead near a number of U.S. cities during the first week of July. The Independence Day celebrations are loud, full of the sounds of wailing guitars at outdoor concerts, screams at amusement parks, and of course, the smoky shrieks and bangs of fireworks overhead. Canada Day, celebrated July 1st, is also a reason to break out the big bangs and send rockets into the sky. The substance fueling much of the fun at these celebrations is gunpowder. A volatile but useful blend of potassium nitrate (or "saltpeter"), charcoal, and sulphur, gunpowder was first developed by the Chinese in the Sung Dynasty over a thousand years ago, when rulers quickly found celebratory and military applications for the new alchemical mixture.
While incredibly dangerous in the wrong hands, gunpowder has also become a ubiquitous part of human life for better or worse, and that includes in the realms of folk magic. Today I'm sharing a few examples of the way that folk magicians in North America have found uses for gunpowder that rely upon its explosive properties to create uncanny results. A NOTE: Please do not take anything in this post as advice. Messing with gunpowder is, as already stated, DANGEROUS. Everything presented here is offered as folklore and history, and not as any sort of endorsement of the behavior described.
So how have practitioners historically put gunpowder to use? As you might have guessed, the destructive qualities of black powder have been a major part of its magical applications. According to several variations of folk spells in the regions running from the northern Appalachian Mountains down into the Gulf of Mexico delta and a bit west of the Mississippi, it has several uses. Gunpowder combined with lodestone and red pepper can be turned into a mojo that will increase business. Added to foods, it also has the power to increase potency, as one hoodoo recommendation involves feeding gunpowder to a guard dog to make him vicious (DON'T DO THIS). One Pennsylvania pow-wow remedy for treating urinary disease in horses involves mixing gunpowder with flour, gentian, and calamus and feeding it to the animal until the disease clears. Perhaps one of the most surprising applications is in the area of women's reproductive health, where gunpowder was once believed to stimulate expulsive contractions, with results varying depending on when the woman used the remedy. Harry M. Hyatt found that gunpowder was used as an abortifacient to induce miscarriage in Adams County, Illinois, including a topical remedy that required a woman to rub her breasts with it every night until the desired outcome occurred. A belief from the mountainous area of eastern Kentucky says that a small dose of gunpowder given right before birth will help to ease the labor, as well.
Most hoodoo and Southern conjure-based magical applications incorporate the magical properties of the particular ingredients, especially the bad luck-breaking power of sulphur, as a component of the spell. Mixed with ingredients like salt and sugar, it can be turned into bathing scrubs that take off negative effects in hurry. In some cases, only the ingredients (usually sulphur but sometimes saltpeter as well) would be added to a bath, and in other accounts, gunpowder itself would be added to other components to actively destroy the harmful effects of a curse, as in this example from Hyatt's five-volume collection of (mostly) African American magical practices [dialect left mostly intact from Hyatt's transcriptions]:
Mah husband , he wus witchcraft heah a little before Christmas , an' when he begin , he begin as a chills-an' fevah. An' course I didn't know, you know, right then…an' I had [the] doctor…They say he had the flu. An' so he wusn't whut you call real, you know, sick like a medical doctor [says], you know. The medicine he give 'im—he give 'im medicine an' it didn't seem to do him no good. So his mind led' im that he knew it wusn't pure sickness. So I had my fortune told an' it…wusn't pure natural. So they fixed 'im—a root doctor fixed him some medicine. An' it holp him, too; but you see, jis' like they put [something] down for yah, all the medicine you take it won't cure you. So I had someone to come to pick it [an object she found] up. I don't know exac'ly wut it wus, but it was down under the—kin'a in the south part of the house an' right in the middle, jis' like you walk over it. An' this filth, of course you have to step in it. An' they [the root doctor] taken it up, an' after takin' it up, you know, they kill it. They kill it with salt. An' then I had to—after takin' it up they put salt on it, wash it off, an' put it in a paper an' let it dry. Then I had to take it an' put lye, an' sulphur, red pepper, an' gunpowder, put it in a quart up an' put a quart of water in it an' boil it [every] bit of the water out it, right dry, an' then take an' [carry] it to a runn' water an', you know, put it in. That's called, that's turnin' back on the one that did it.
One of the best (and most explosive applications) involves mixing gunpowder and other ingredients with an enemy's footprint, then lighting the mixture on fire and watching it explode. This supposedly causes them to leave town in a hurry (possibly due to the strange explosions they keep hearing). Because it contains sulphur, variations on the hexing compound known as "Goopher Dust" can also have gunpowder mixed in. Mixed with other repelling herbs like asafetida the gunpowder could be worn in shoes or carried in a pouch around a person's neck to ward off harm. Jason Miller's Protection and Reversal Magick mentions a "jinx-breaker" mojo bag a person can carry which has sulpher and saltpeter (and thus everything but the charcoal in gunpowder) as well as lemongrass. Miller doesn't specifically mention using gunpowder, but it is likely that some extant variations of the hand would use it as a necessary substitution.
Of course, gunpowder's application in celebrations can also have a magical or spiritual significance. Spinning fire-wheels powered by gunpowder fireworks are often used in ceremonies honoring the dead or unseen spirits. The Urglaawe Heathen tradition uses such a "Catherine Wheel" in its Sunneraad (Yuletide) celebrations, and similar wheels can be found in Mexican Dia de los Muertos festivities. Similarly, many Appalachian people would celebrate the arrival of the New Year by "shooting in" the day with live ammunition fired into the air, which was also thought to induce good luck or scare away bad luck. Shooting in also happened in cities, where it could pose a significant safety threat, and often those not directly participating would sequester themselves indoors to avoid the "Calithumpian" revelries which also included costumes, masks, and a lot of heavy drinking. In some Vodoun rituals, celebrants may make the veve designs of a particular loa out of gunpowder, especially if that loa is "hot" in nature, such as the Petro spirits. In other cases, gunpowder may be specifically avoided to prevent inciting spirits to become destructive or to avoid any potential spiritual insults.
Gunpower was also sometimes employed to spark a sudden or rapid change in less personal conditions as well, for example in weather magic. In American Folklore: An Encyclopedia, the author notes that out in the frequently dry prairie areas of North America such as Nebraska and Kansas, "professional 'rainmakers' sought to earn their pay by firing explosions from balloons, building large, smoky fires, or setting off gunpowder explosions from high peaks" during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
In most cases, the essential magical nature of gunpowder is driven by one of two factors: its ability to explode on ignition or its ingredients' magical properties. Many applications, such as the jinx-breaking in the hoodoo examples, rely on a mixture of both aspects: a symbolic rapid change and the physical presence or properties of the sulphur and saltpeter (the charcoal seldom gets a mention, but its "neutralizing" nature seems to be a good fit, too). The abortifacient uses of gunpowder also could be an extension of these characteristics. One of the most interesting things about gunpowder is its relative predicatibility for an explosive substance (as opposed to say, nitroglycerin, which can be incredibly volatile). Gunpowder is even used to create artworks in seriously cool ways because it can be controlled. At the same time, this substance continues to be dangerous, causing more than a few lost digits or limbs every year during July celebrations and fueling firearms that can do immense damage to life and property. In some ways, gunpowder is almost a perfect metaphor for folk magic more generally—deployed with intention and thought, it can do wonderful things, but carelessly handled it can cause irreparable harm.
So as the fireworks are booming overhead during this first week of July in North America, I hope you will look up at the bright and beautiful patterns and think about some of the magic in them that goes beyond the visual awe and glamor. Although, if you prefer to "ooh" and "aah" at them instead, I can hardly blame you.
Thanks for reading!

Blog Post 207 – What is New World Witchery?, Part V (Witches Become Witches)
In previous posts in this series, I've already looked at some of the ways that history, folklore, and contemporary behavior come together to form what we've termed "New World Witchery." If you're just starting with this series here, you might want to flip back the pages of this dusty old tome on the bookshelf and read the first of these posts on "What is New World Witchery, Part I (Irrational Pragmatism)." There are other posts that follow, on topics like the moral implications of practical folk magic in North America, and the spiritual entities that seem to hover at the edges of (or stand smack in the center of) New World magical practices, and the physical "things" of North American witchcraft. You can certainly start here, though, and go where you wish, and let your intuition act as a compass for these explorations.
This time, I'm addressing a topic I've addressed before in a few different ways: how witches learn to do the magic associated with them. I'm revisiting these points here because the other posts on them all go into more detail on specifics, and I believe that a more general summary of themes and methods is useful here. As you're digging into this subject, feel free to spend some time in those older posts, too, as they do provide more depth than this one will. As you will likely see early and often through the following examples, witches can gain their magical prowess in a lot of different ways, and so it can be hard to compare one witch to another in folklore and history. At the same time, there are themes that do unite the different stories, or at least themes that overlap with one another, creating a sort of "spectrum." What is certain, though, is that those who claim magical power develop it in some way to eventually become what people call a "witch."
Witches Become Witches
In the time I've spent reading accounts of witchcraft in books of history and folklore, the time I've spent interviewing contemporary practitioners or examining specific magical artifacts, and the time I've spent consulting with other people who study this engrossing topic, I've learned that over-generalizations are not terribly useful when it comes to witchcraft. By reducing witchcraft into motifs and components, we tend to miss the highly individual experiences of the people actually practicing the magic. At the same time, it helps us a lot to look for patterns, and when it comes to just how witches gain their magical powers, we can see a set of patterns in the New World (or at least, specifically in North America) that point the way towards a better understanding of how these practices move between people. Tradition, as one of my folklore mentors has pointed out, comes from a Latin root having to do with "handing" things over, and witchcraft generally seems to be a "tradition" in that sense—it is handed over from one person (or entity) to another.
The exception to that rule is hereditary witchraft, although in this case I'm not referring to grandiose initiation stories of secret Granny Witches conducting rituals in their kitchens to initiate their grandchildren (looking at you here Alex Sanders). Rather, I'm referring to the wide body of lore that says that witches can often be "marked" from birth with special powers. For example, the presence of a caul around a newborn's head is frequently noted as a source of spiritual power, and even when detatched the caul retains some magical abilities—sailors paid a pretty penny for dried cauls to stave off drowning, for example. In mountain lore inherited from European traditions, the seventh son of a seventh son is often reputed to have the ability to heal or do certain types of magic, setting him apart. Other birth-related demarcations of magical power include unusual moles, the presence of teeth in a newborn, extra fingers or toes, or a baby who is particularly hairy. One account of witchcraft among Pueblo Native Americans in the American Southwest showed that popular opinions claimed that witches often passed on their abilities to their children (albeit powers of malediction and harm in that example). A West Virginian herbal healer named Dovie Lambert who also "took off" bewitchments from others claimed that the passage of magical power occurred when secret words were transmitted across gender lines in families: father-to-daughter or mother-to-son, or even among aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews. Dovie believed that if the power didn't get transmitted before the witch's death, the power of that line of witchcraft would die out, although she herself believed that was unlikely to happen anytime soon.
Even in cases of a "witch from birth," which is not always the same thing as these examples of magical "election," the person has to choose to use their ability, and often develops it during a later point in life. This power was not solely limited to magic, however, but often reputed to impart special gifts to children based on birth order that might include a talent for medicine or a need for expanded education. Vance Randolph recorded some such beliefs in his examination of the Ozarks and their lore:
"If there are seven sons in a family, and no daughters, the seventh son is clearly intended to be a physician. The seventh son of a seventh son is a physician in spite of himself, endowed with healing powers which cannot be denied. Even if such a man does not study or practice medicine, he is very often called "Doc" or "Doctor" by common consent. However, small-time gamblers are often called "Doc" too, just as every backwoods auctioneer becomes a "Colonel."
If there are ten sons in a family, and no daughters, the tenth son must be a preacher. "God meant it to be that-a-way," an old woman once told me. "He knows how many preachers we need in this world." She would not go so far as to say, however, that it is a mistake to call men who are not tenth sons into the ministry.
Many hillfolk believe that a third son is more intelligent than his brothers and should therefore be encouraged to "git more book-larnin'." Others contend that, other things being equal, the fourth child has the brains of the whole family."
Frequently the turning point in a "natural" magician's life is adolescence or young adulthood, when the person's power fully manifests for the first time and they learn the techniques of healing from someone else in their community, usually a family member. For example, West Virginian folk healer Johnny Arvin Dahmer spoke of inheriting a copy of The Egyptian Secrets of Albertus Magnus from his grandfather, who was also known as a folk magician and charmer. While a person may be predisposed to magical talent, then, their use of that talent comes only with guidance and training.
That instruction forms is very much the "marrow of tradition" that underlies almost all other forms of witches-becoming-witches. Just how involved that training is depends on the type of magic being transmitted, the cultural context in which it is found, and the particular individuals involved. In most cases, magical practitioners do not hang out shingles and advertise their services as instructors in witchcraft, but over the course of a long-standing and developed relationship with another person they may decide to share their secrets. In Dovie Lambert's case above, that may happen as a matter of survivial of the magical tradition—if it is not transmitted it will "die out." Lambert's cross-gender transmission appears in a number of European-derived practices, including those from German-speaking, English-speaking, and French-speaking groups. A detailed study of powwowing magic in Pennsylvania Dutch communities by David W. Kriebel sums up a number of these ideas:
"Training procedures vary greatly, although one rule is nearly universal, namely, that only a woman can teach a man and only a man can teach a woman…training time can take anywhere from a few minutes to a year. The training procedure used by [one informant] and passed on to [two others] consisted of a ten-week program with all information imparted orally. When the initiate returned for the second session he (or she) had to repeat all the incantations and gestures perfectly, as a sign the initiate was meant to become a powwower."
Kriebel's account brings up the concept of a "calling" to do magic, which may be an echo of the idea of a hereditary practice or may signify the same kind of "calling" experienced by a religious or political leader. Kriebel also notes that one of his informants draws attention to the "price" of teaching magic, with one informant claiming "that when one powwower trains another the teacher gives up half his power to the student." Several instances of this sort of transmission appear in folklore about witches who share their secrets or pass on their power only in the moments before their own death. A number of accounts make the claim that magical power can only be taught or transmitted at most three times within a person's lifespan before the magic "runs out" or the practitioner dies.
Beyond the element of a calling to witchcraft, some witches may seek out their power in various ways. One Northern Mexican informant described the application of a special set of powders to his body, followed by a ritual bath, that gave him the ability to transform into animals. Notably, he learned the process by watching two other witches do the same in secret, and initially failed to do it correctly because he was wearing a scapular (a Catholid object designed to confer the blessings of Saints on the wearer). Only after removing the holy item was he able to begin his transformations. Many such initiations involve a renunciation of Christian practices or beliefs. Several accounts from Hubert Davis' The Silver Bullet note that witches become witches by "throw[ing] rocks at the moon and cuss[ing] God Almighty" or writing the Lord's Prayer on a plate in grease paint, then washing it in a river or stream in an act of inverse baptism. Vance Randolph's informants note that the initiation experience could be "a much more moving spiritual crisis than that which the Christians call conversion," at least according to his sources.
In some cases of initiation, witches were expected to pay a price similar to the one noted in the accounts Kriebel found among the Pennsylvania Dutch. That price might be an obligation to a specific spirit (most commonly framed in the American traditions as "the Devil," although specific descriptions and formulations of diabolic initiation vary). It might also involve the death of a relative, or a period of intense sickness or near-death illness. Once initiated, however, a witch retained her power until her death or until she elected to pass it on to someone else. Other magical powers often followed this line of transmission: a calling or marking from birth followed by a powerful experience in young adulthood or adolescence that confirmed magical ability; the transmission of specific knowledge about witchcraft through the passage of oral lore or even the handing over of a book; and finally, the dispersal of that knowledge and power to another generation, often only in very limited quantities.
Contemporary practitioners tend to derive their magical knowledge in similar ways to the ones already outlined, but with some distinctions. For example, the emphasis on learning from books has become a de facto aspect of magical training. In some cases, the same books used in previous generations, like Egyptian Secrets, still hold sway, although in truth there are so many options available the older books are only a small sliver of the greater body of knowledge being used (I'm not complaining here, as I think many fantastic books have been produced in recent years, including some that surpass the older tomes in terms of breadth and depth of magical information). Several correspondents I've had have told me they look for "classes" in witchcraft, too, with structure and lesson plans and even homework. Some prefer classes focused on specific skills, as with Becky Beyer's Appalachian wildcraft workshops, while others follow initiatory magico-religious traditions like Christopher Penczak's Inner Temple structure. Training from groups directly (either in person or via postal correspondence) was the norm during the heyday of British Traditional Wicca in the 1970s and 1980s, but that is only a singular form of training now among many other forms available. Some practitioners still take on apprentices, especially in traditions like powwow or curanderismo, although both of those traditions are sometimes taught in whole or part within a class environment, too.
The one element that seems to have dissipated over time is the concept of the "price" paid for magical knowledge. The price has become the time and commitment required to learn the skills and magical techniques associated with a particular tradition. There are still some initiatory groups that do extract a price, such as requiring potential initiates to fast or wear special clothing for a certain length of time—something common in Lukumi traditions, for example. Occasionally the idea of the price being a loved one's death surfaces, too, although that has become increasingly rare. So, too, has the idea of passing on the tradition before death as a matter of continuing a line of magical practice. Instead, practitioners often pass on their knowledge as more of a public service or as an aspect of their calling (some speak of being "called to teach" within a "training coven" structure, for example). Passing knowledge has also moved beyond rules about gender lines, too, instead becoming a more egalitarian and open-access approach.
Given the many roads into witchcraft, however, the road out is still in the transmission, even if the reasoning has changed. Witches become witches, and they do so because other witches make that possible. The stereotype of witches gathering in huge covens on Walpurgisnacht to engage in Satanic rites may be a medieval fabrication and fantasy, but in the act of sharing magical knowledge, there does seem to be a continuity of magical community. Almost like a family.
N.B: I will be doing one more entry in this series on the many and various talents of witches, but I am likely to set aside that post for a bit to cover a few other topics. This series has been rather grander in scope than I think I originally envisioned, but I hope it is useful to some of you. For now, I am so grateful to those of you sticking with me even with the longer gaps between posts.
Thanks for reading!

iSmart Program
Welcome to iSmart, the talented and gifted program exclusive to Horizon Christian Elementary School. Based on the theory of Multiple Intelligences first developed by Howard Gardner, this program highlights a student's "smarts" or learning strengths through assessment, interactive learning, special projects, field trips and community service.
At Horizon Christian Elementary School we believe that EVERY student is talented and gifted, and therefore provide opportunities for upper grade students to assess, develop and expand their area of '"Smart" while exploring all 8 kinds of Smart.
While the principles of multiple intelligence and our iSmart program are infused throughout all grades, the core of our program begins in the 4th grade with introduction, exploration and assessment in all eight areas of Smart. As students advance to 5th and 6th grades they participate in special iSmart modules designed specifically to further develop their skills and experiences in one of their top areas of Smarts. Each module group is led by a faculty member who shares that area of Smart and guides students in exploring, enhancing and celebrating their kind of Smart through special guest experts, demonstrations, off-campus experiences and community service projects.
Horizon's iSmart allows students to grow in confidence knowing that they are deliberately and beautifully made by our Creator. Our hope is that students look enthusiastically to the future knowing that because of their God-designed strengths they will not only succeed but feel fully alive using their God-given potentiality.
What "Smart" are You?
Body Smart
Bodily-Kinesthetic. This area has to do with bodily movement and physiology. In theory, people who have bodily-kinesthetic intelligence should learn better by involving muscular movement (e.g. getting up and moving around into the learning experience), and are generally good at physical activities such as sports or dance. They may enjoy acting or performing, and in general they are good at building and making things. They often learn best by doing something physically, rather than by reading or hearing about it. Those with strong bodily-kinesthetic intelligence seem to use what might be termed muscle memory - they remember things through their body such as verbal memory or images. Famous Body Mart people include Jesus Christ, Sampson, and Michael Jordan.
Math Smart: Logical-Mathematical
This area has to do with logic, abstractions, reasoning, and numbers. While it is often assumed that those with this intelligence naturally excel in mathematics, chess, computer programming and other logical or numerical activities, a more accurate definition places emphasis on traditional mathematical ability and more reasoning capabilities, abstract patterns of recognition, scientific thinking and investigation, and the ability to perform complex calculations. Famous Number Smart people include Jesus Christ, Noah, and Albert Einstein.
Music Smart: Musical
This area has to do with rhythm, music, and hearing. Those who have a high level of musical-rhythmic intelligence display greater sensitivity to sounds, rhythms, tones and music. They normally have good pitch and may even have absolute pitch and are able to sing, play musical instruments, and compose music. Since there is a strong auditory component to this intelligence, those who are strongest in it may learn best via lecture. Language skills are typically highly developed in those whose base intelligence is musical. In addition, they will sometimes use songs or rhythms to learn and memorize information. Famous Music Smart people include Jesus Christ, David, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
People Smart: Interpersonal
This area has to do with interaction with others. In theory, people who have a high interpersonal intelligence tend to be extroverts, characterized by their sensitivity to others' moods, feelings, temperaments and motivations, and their ability to cooperate in order to work as part of a group. They communicate effectively and empathize easily with others, and may be either leaders or followers. They typically learn best by working with others and often enjoy discussion and debate. Famous People Smart people include Jesus Christ, Queen Esther, and Mother Theresa.
Self Smart: Intrapersonal
This area has to do with introspective and self-reflective capacities. People with intrapersonal intelligence are intuitive and typically introverted. They are skillful at deciphering their own feelings and motivations. This refers to having a deep understanding of the self; what are your strengths/ weaknesses, what makes you unique, can you predict your own reactions/ emotions. Famous Self Smart people include Jesus Christ, Moses, and Eleanor Roosevelt.
Word Smart: Verbal-Linguistic
This area has to do with words, spoken or written. People with high verbal-linguistic intelligence display a facility with words and languages. They are typically good at reading, writing, telling stories and memorizing words along with dates. They tend to learn best by reading, taking notes, listening to lectures, and discussion and debate. They are also frequently skilled at explaining, teaching and oration or persuasive speaking. Those with verbal-linguistic intelligence learn foreign languages very easily as they have high verbal memory and recall, and an ability to understand and manipulate syntax and structure. Famous Word Smart people include Jesus Christ, Solomon, and Abraham Lincoln.
Picture Smart
A Picture Smart person thinks visually with their eyes and can readily see pictures in their mind. They like to design, draw, build, create, daydream, and look at pictures. They tend to learn best when working with pictures, colors and drawings. Famous Picture Smart people include: Jesus Christ, Nehemiah, and Georgia O'Keefe.
Nature Smart: Naturalistic
This area has to do with nurturing and relating information to one's natural environment. This type of intelligence was not part of Gardner's original theory of Multiple Intelligences, but was added to the theory in 1997. Those with it are said to have greater sensitivity to nature and their place within it, the ability to nurture and grow things, and greater ease in caring for, taming and interacting with animals. They may also be able to discern changes in weather or similar fluctuations in their natural surroundings. They are also good at recognizing and classifying different species. Famous Nature Smart people include Jesus Christ, Adam, and Jon Muir.

Expansion of the Maternal Child Health Service
New parents and their babies will receive even more support under an expansion of the Maternal Child Health Service.
The Premier and the Minister for Families and Children today announced that 37,000 families will now be able to rely on expanded Enhanced Maternal and Child Health services until their child turns three.
Announced as part of the Victorian Budget 2017/18, the $81.1 million package will provide extra support for new parents, including those with babies born prematurely, twins and triplets, or families facing particular disadvantage. Previously, this intensive support cut out after just one year, leaving many parents without much-needed advice as they prepared their children for kinder.
As well as providing information on feeding and sleeping, our Maternal Child Health nurses also give vital advice on a child's development and help ensure our kids get the best start in life.
The funding will also expand supported playgroups across the state, connecting new parents to share their experiences and help each other.
For the first time, those at risk of family violence will receive additional outreach visits by Maternal Child Health nurses. As part of the package, Maternal Child Health nurses will also get training in the latest techniques and practices to support families, including those struggling with trauma.
The Maternal and Child Health Line will get additional funding to respond to parents' concerns over the phone. The funding follows the Andrews Labor Government's historic $133 million investment in last year's Budget. It is a key part of the Education State early childhood reforms and supports the Roadmap for Reform: Strong Families, Safe Children.

The plural forms of nouns for professions follow a particular pattern. Many masculine forms of professions end in 'er,' and their female counterparts add 'in' and sometimes an umlaut over the stem vowel (if it is an 'a,' 'o,' or 'u'). The feminine plural adds 'nen' to the feminine 'in' ending, whereas the masculine singular and plural endings ('er') are usually the same (NOTE: professions ending in 'ist,' 'ent,' or 'ant' add 'en'). This is illustrated in the table below:
der Angestellte / die Angestellten / die Angestellte / die Angestellten
- Die Schule hat vier Lehrer und sieben Lehrerinnen.
The school has four teachers (m) and seven teachers (f).
- Alle Busfahrer fahren abends den Bus ins Busdepot.
All bus drivers (m/f)* drive the bus to the station in the evenings.
*When there is a mix of feminine and masculine, the plural is uses the plural masculine form.

The first of Ponant's Explorer-class of six expedition ships, Le Laperouse combines sleek and attractive Scandinavian design with French flair and luxurious extras that are unusual in the adventure cruising space.
The 184-passenger ship debuted in 2018, with destination-intensive itineraries that take it to Iceland and Scandinavia, the Mediterranean, the Seychelles, and the Maldives. It's built for active exploration; the vessel has a reinforced hull for polar exploration as well as a fleet of Zodiacs and an aft marina for water sports. But if you simply want to laze, Le Laperouse has spaces for that too: There's an infinity pool that's great for warm weather destinations and a terrific sauna when you're cold (not to mention a spa and an onboard store full of French goodies).

This photo shows "Jasmine" before it was turned over, so that it could be put back on to its trailer for its road trip back to its owners home for him to finish off the painting and varnishing over the winter months.
This photo shows "Jasmine" back on its road trailer ready to go back its owners home for him to finish off the hull over the winter, then back in the spring to have a new deck fitted.
Now that "Jasmine" is finished for the time being, it is the turn of the Enterprise to get the restoration treatment on her to bring her back to a sailing condition once more over the next few months, so she to can get sailing again.
The first job on the Enterprise is to clean up the frame work and the gunwales and replace the rotten and damaged port side gunwale with a new spruce guwale and then replace the two top hull panels on both sides of the hull.

British Woman And Italian Man Fell In Love Using Google Translate
The pair were smitten with each other so much that they didn't allow the language barrier to stop their connection.
Ah, love. They say it makes you do some crazy things just to make the relationship work. Some people would even travel the world just to find and be with that person that they love. But what if you fall for someone who doesn't speak the same language as you do?
Cultural differences – beliefs, language, etc. – could make or break a relationship. But one British woman and Italian man were determined to make things work and relied on Google translate.
Chloe Smith and Daniele Marisco first met at a nightclub in Ibiza. The loud music was not their only barrier at the time as they couldn't understand each other as well.
But the 23-year-old woman from Wolves, UK, has Google translator to thank for helping her forge a relationship with the 25-year-old Italian man who made her experience love at first sight.
Chloe said:
"There was something exciting about Daniele – the fact we couldn't understand each other wasn't a problem. We just clicked.
I made the first move and asked him for his number because I just found him so attractive."
The pair were smitten with each other so much that they didn't allow the language barrier to stop their connection. Chloe and Daniele used the translator to communicate, as well as watching videos with subtitles.
She said:
"Despite never having a foreign boyfriend before, I knew I liked him, and I knew he would learn one day. Sometimes you must do these things for love."
A week later, they decided to go on holiday to Barcelona and now, two years on; they live together in Streatham in South London.
Chloe and Daniele have each learned to speak both Italian and English in a bid to ensure their relationship lasts.
Chloe shared that the more time they spend together, the more they adjust and eventually used the Google translator less and less.
Daniele added:
"Chloe talked and laughed a lot, but I didn't understand. The only thing I understood was that she was special.
From the very start, I had a good feeling about Chloe. She is my soulmate."
5 Million Indian Women Form 385-Mile Human Chain To Promote Equality
"Kerala has built a wall of resistance against the dark forces that wish to push women back to the dark ages."
Women are doing whatever they can to promote equality around the world. On the first day of 2019, five million Indian women decided to make a powerful statement. They lined the streets to form a 385-mile human chain calling for gender equality and women's rights.
The human chain was formed in the state of Kerala in India. Five million women gathered on January 1, 2019, holding out their fists in solidarity with their sisters. The event brought in ladies of all ages, caste, and walks of life in an effort to promote equality. In addition to that, the Indian women called for the right to enter Kerala's Sabarimala temple without having to worry about violence from male believers.
Female students lined up on the street to support the Women's Wall.
Student Who Struggled in Math Now Works as NASA Engineer
"I wasn't going to give up because of a few bad grades."
A journey of a thousand miles, as they say, begins with a single step and for some, that step may even be a small one. Take it from Josephine Santiago-Bond, a Filipina engineer who now works at NASA!
According to her, she didn't even have a specific dream in mind growing up. She was more practical than ambitious.
Woman Drops Over 200 Lbs. After Doctors Tell Her She'll Never Be A Mother
She was determined "to live and be a mom no matter what."
There's nothing more devastating than being told that you are not capable of doing something that you've always wanted to do. Monet was determined to become a mother, but her doctors have told her that her health was so bad that she would never bear a child.
Monet weighed almost 375 lbs in September 2014. It's a given fact that obesity can interfere with a woman's capability of being pregnant. But Monet was determined "to live and be a mom no matter what," so she decided to do something about it.

Cross Generations
I heard a speech the other day about the differences in the generations. I happen to be a Baby Boomer. I knew there were some distinct differences in the generations, but I found some of the data rather fascinating.
The new term for youth is the Millennial Generation. Here are some of the characteristics of this generation:
- They are very technology driven
- They are more liberal and inclusive of ideas, lifestyles, and habits that we find strange and even dangerous
- They think they are smarter than you are
- They have a sense of entitlement
- They get much of their identity from clothes
Now, I thought back to when I was a kid. We did not have all of the technology that is available today, but I can identify with the last three bullet points.
There has always been and will always be a disconnect between the generations. My dad could not understand why we liked to listen to Rock and Roll music. I don't understand the attraction that kids have to some of the music they listen too. I have to admit that I am shocked at how much profanity is laced throughout the music of today. And let's face it, Rap makes me want to hit something or someone. Seriously, why is there so much anger in the music?
How can the Boomers and Generation Xers communicate with the younger generation? Think about it. The Millennials are our future workers and leaders. It we can't communicate with them, we are in for a real shock. Here are some tips for reaching those in the Millennial generation that you work with or live with:
- Show respect for their opinions. Regardless of how bizarre their ideas may seem to you, they still deserve to be heard. Who knows? What they think might just have some validity.
- Spend time getting to know them and discussing what concerns them. The more you empathize, the more you will both realize.
- Model proper behavior for them. Can you expect them to know how to treat other people respectfully if you don't do it yourself?
- Acknowledge their strengths and include them in projects and ideas that have to do with technology or social media. That is where they live and thrive.
- Teach them how to communicate with older generations. Many of the Millennials are raised in fatherless homes. Cut them some slack. Love them. Be patient with them.
I have great hope for the youth of today. They are bright, enthusiastic, fun-loving people. We just have to get to know each other. That will take intentionality, humility, and love on both sides. I toast the younger generation. "May God give you vision, peace, prosperity, and love."
