The first thing my grandsons do once they leap from the car is check the letterbox; although these days, there's very little to be found there other than advertising leaflets. But there's something exciting about opening the letterbox and peeking inside that never seems to dim.
Regardless of age, finding something in the letterbox personally addressed is a wonderful way to connect with your grandchildren and build memories. Yes, email is faster with little expense, but snail mail has its own appeal. And kids love it!
Continuing a tradition
My father used to send notes and cards to my children on a regular basis when they were young and they would dance around with excitement.
He'd often add little pen-drawn illustrations on the envelopes and include cryptic addressee titles along with the formal address. We'd frequently find missives addressed to 'The Moby Dick fisherman' (after my son caught his first fish) or perhaps 'Australia's best chef' (my daughter had baked a cake), and other interesting titles.
The letters created plenty of comment and discussion with our postman,. too.
Create your own snail mail fun with your kids or grandkids.
So now, as a grandma, I try to send my own whimsical notes and letters to my grandchildren.
When I visit with them, they often drag out the old letters or cards I've sent them and ask me to read the inside messages to them again. They really do treasure those simple letters I post to them.
So.... how can you create your own snail mail fun? What do you need to create exciting letters that will keep your grandkids eagerly watching for mail?
1. Send your cards or letters regularly
You don't need to rigidly post one letter every week on a set day and time. But if you only post your grandkids once in a blue moon, there won't be any thought or expectation of a delivery arriving sooner or later. It's the same as when your favourite magazine is due in your letterbox early each month. You don't know exactly the day it will come but you're looking for it, expecting it, hoping for it. And when it does eventually arrive, there is eager excitement.
2. Organise stationery for kids and encourage them to write to you, too.
You can buy stationery that your kids will love using but I've found it's not that easy to find appealing designs. And... they're often quite expensive for just a few printed sheets and envelopes.
So.. to start you off, I've included a free pack.
You can find your free stationery below. Just download the files, print and package them up as a fun letter-writing pack for your grandkids. Naturally, there are plenty of other choices and designs that you can find on AtGrandmasPlace online store. And there are other wonderful designs from Etsy. I've listed some below.
BONUS: A special mailbox for the kids
This idea from TinyMe is a great addition!. Download, print and create a special letterbox for the kids and and set it up for their next visit.
Set it up ready for them and watch their reactions.
Pop some letters in the letterbox for them to find when they arrive. And, you could prepare some stationery for them to use and then post in the letterbox for themselves. You'll also find full instructions for creating this set at TinyMe.
Alternately, post the mailbox pieces to them so that they can set it up themselves at home. Then they can write and post letters to others in their family.
What better way to encourage kids to write- and enjoy the activity! Check it out below...

3. Include some little extras like stickers and stamps, or decorate the envelopes
Sometimes, I try to slip some stickers inside the envelope as an extra highlight. The letters are more highly anticipated than ever by my oldest grand-daughter since she's taken up philately. You can find plenty of resources for kids for stamp collecting. You can even create and order your own stamps. How much fun would that create for your grandkids to find their own photo on the stamp?
Even if you don't want to go to those lengths you can decorate the envelopes a bit.
I try and use the most beautiful stamps when I post cards to Rachael. And stationery packs for kids usually include some wonderful envelopes.. like the Mail Munchers pack listed below. You can find them on the AtGrandma'sPlace online store.
Download the template from TinyMe. Print and send the pieces to your grandkids or set it up ready for their next visit!
Enjoy yourself with these great resources and build some memories with your grandkids.
Get your copy of these exciting stationery packs for kids
Each kit contains 3 different styles of stationery: a page for those kids who cannot write sentences yet. They can draw something special and then write their name at the bottom; there is a page designed with a small number of lines for kids who are learning to write but might be overwhelmed by a lot of lines to complete; and there is a full page of lines for writing but still some fun characters on the stationery page.
There are even some fun cards. There are some monster lined envelopes. And there are some Monster Mail Munchers that can be slipped onto the top or corner of a page of stationery or even a book as a bookmark. The kits can be downloaded or ordered as a complete kit that comes in a plastic kit with some additional fun items- stickers and pencils.

Simple ideas to create an elegant Easter table arrangement
Do you have family visiting for Easter? Whether you're planning your Easter celebrations for just your own immediate family or an extended gathering of friends and family, a beautiful table arrangement really sets the scene for a perfect Easter celebration.
Now, this can be daunting consideration. But, don't feel you need to spend hours preparing a lovely display. I've found a collection of ideas, from a simple minimal approach to an amazing table overflowing with delight.
You may have decided to go with a separate table for the kids. That's fine. I've got that covered, too. So, just click through the images and find the table creation that appeals to you and your needs. There is a link on each image to the original and the instructions.
And remember, you can add to or simplify the original concept or substitute items where necessary.
Just as an example, this Easter arrangement took minutes to prepare.
Here's how...
STEP 1. Buy an Easter wreath. Yes, you can make your own but I didn't have time and you can find them everywhere.
STEP 2. Place the wreath in the centre of the table.
STEP 3. Add a floral arrangement to the centre of the wreath- e.g. lantern, candles, or an apothecary jar filled with eggs. (You can buy a floral arrangement or make your own.)
And that's it! Done. Simple.
Check out the other beautiful and creative ideas below.
There are many other ideas from truly creative people, and I gathered some to show you, that will inspire you and provide some simple, yet beautiful solutions. From fun-filled kids' table arrangements to elegant designs to outdoor dining ideas, you'll find something in the following collection that, I'm sure, will help you create your own Easter table arrangement.

We all enjoy the fun activities that are a part of the Easter holiday weekend- the hot cross buns, the family gathering, the Easter brunch- but we still want to encourage our children to focus on the real message of Easter. We want to create memorable family Easter experiences, ones that will bring new meaning and understanding of the Easter story and the importance of Jesus' sacrifice for everyone.
Having said that… we all know that the question on every child's lips will be, "When are we having the Easter Egg Hunt?"
So, are you prepared? It's actually not as easy as you think, especially if you have a big, jostling collection of excited kids or a group of different aged children, particularly toddlers. You certainly want to keep everyone happy and avoid the tears of disappointment or the cries of, "It's not fair!"
So.. along with preparing cute baskets to gather the eggs, here are some tips that will make your Easter Egg Hunt rock.
TIP #1 ... Choose the style of Easter Egg Hunt to suit your pint-sized participants and your resources.
Balloon Clues:
Little ones often struggle to find their Easter Eggs even with help from others. If you're looking for an easy Easter Egg Hunt idea for small children, how about attaching a balloon to each egg? They'll love collecting these eggs..especially if they get to keep the balloon, as well. And, there will no difficulty finding the eggs.
Scavenger Hunt:
If your kids are a bit older, they will rush madly to find every egg within a couple of minutes flat, probably knocking their friends over in the process. And then the egg hunt is over. But you can organise the hunt as a scavenger hunt with printed clues that will have kids searching and exploring. As another option, try this Easter egg hunt with scripture verses. Check out this well-prepared printable Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt.
Energetic Scavenger Hunt:
Want to get the kids moving or make it a bit harder for slightly older kids? How about an active scavenger hunt. The eggs are decorated to look like sports equipment and inside are instructions like- crab-walk around the couch, 10 star jumps etc They can earn points for finding and completing the task to claim the Easter egg prizes later.
Smartphone Event:
Tweens and teens have probably out-grown the simple fun of an Easter Egg Hunt... unless you make it high-tech. Create a smartphone event with clues presented with QR codes. Use eggs that are less brightly coloured, too, to make them harder to find for these veteran Easter egg hunters.
Glow Hunt:
For something a little different, consider holding your Easter egg hunt at night with glow eggs. You could include an outdoor movie night to accompany the hunt. You can obtain a kit with everything you need: full Egglo Kit for your own egg hunt adventure with eggs, stuffers, storybook, DVD, Scripture Scrolls, and more.
You can also make your own glowing Easter Eggs and other glowing decorations.
Children's Ministry Program:
If you're presenting an Easter Egg Hunt as a part of your Children's Ministry Easter program, then you might be interested in the Easter Egg Hunt lesson, to help kids find Jesus. How about a Bible Easter Scavenger Hunt?
Easter egg Hunt Box:
And… if your family and grandkids live miles away (like some of mine), why not send them an Easter egg hunt box? I made this for my own grandkids and it was a heap of fun!
TIP #2. ... Start your preparations early
I know it seems as if an Easter Egg Hunt is a simple matter of buying some eggs, hiding them, and letting the kids search for them. But there's a lot more to it if you want to avoid tears and disappointment from those who couldn't find any or couldn't compete with the older kids.
A bit of planning and preparation can turn this simple Easter activity into a wonderful and memorable family event- a real moment that matters.
So... are you going to hide plastic eggs or go with the chocolate and candy egg option. (Don't forget to check for food intolerances such as dairy or gluten.) As a general rule of thumb, you'd probably need to work on 8-10 eggs per child.
Plastic eggs have become a popular option, largely because they can be used in so many creative and fun ways:
* Fill the eggs with stickers, small gifts or numbers that correspond to other prizes to be collected later. Check out some of these non-candy ideas.
* You probably have one or more of your kids who are competitive, even though it's just an Easter egg hunt. So, tears are sure to follow for whoever doesn't find many eggs. You can avoid this scenario if you designate different areas for different ages.Then send the children to particular coloured zones determined by their age. Use matching coloured balloons to identify the location of the zones.
* If you only have few kids, give them each a different coloured basket or pail and tell them to find only the eggs of that same colour.
* Alternately, you can tell the kids to collect only one egg of each colour.
* Organise the kids into teams and send the teams out into different areas. Each plastic egg they find as a team contains a puzzle piece. When every piece has been found, they must work together to reassemble the puzzle and gain extra points. Award the team and individual prizes accordingly (though I'd probably give everyone much the same prize to avoid disappointment.)
You can find the Easter Story puzzle if you'd like to use it for this activity..
*You might also like to tell the kids that there is one, or a couple, of golden eggs to be found. If or when you find and open them, you'll find either a large piece of gold paper, a gold sticker or gold glitter inside. The golden eggs can be redeemed for extra points or a bigger prize.
TIP #3 ... Easter decorations look amazing, add to the excitement, but also help your event run smoothly.
The focus of An Easter Egg Hunt is, of course, finding eggs. And I know the children are bouncing up and down in eagerness to start looking for their Easter eggs. But the excitement really starts well before the hunt. And how much better if the hunt begins with brightly coloured balloons and wonderful signage that shows the children just where to start looking for their Easter egg success.
It sets the scene, prepares the children and helps to keep them going in the right areas.
Actually, you'll find a growing number of Easter egg Hunt kits in the stores and, if you can find just what you want, that does make it easier. But there are plenty of wonderful resources online that are FREE; just download, print, cut out and attach to a small wooden dowel. Add your signs at intervals to direct the children, fuel any flagging enthusiasm and keep them on track. Check out some of the options:
Simple printable signage ... looks great and encourages those looking for eggs.
Labels, signs and other helpful printables that look good and help keep the fun moving. Download and print signs and directions to add to the excitement.
Set out the perfect trail for your Easter Egg Hunters to follow... and it looks great, too.
And there's more..... more amazing signage , and it's free.
Oh... there's also some cute bunny footprints to download, print and set out for the little ones to follow. These are particularly helpful, and cute, for those who can't read.
Your Easter Egg Hunt will certainly run more smoothly with some signs, directions or clues to direct the kids and encourage them to look in the right direction.
TIP #4 ... What's an Easter Egg Hunt without baskets?
If you're planning an Easter Egg Hunt, your kids will need to have baskets for gathering their eggs. And.. there are lots of options.
Refresh an old basket
Perhaps you already have an old basket; you can refresh it with an Easter lining.
Make your own
Add some additional excitement with a 'Make your own Easter Basket' activity before the kids go searching.
How about a bucket?
They don't need to use a basket- an Easter tin bucket works just as well.
An amazing collection of Easter Egg basket ideas for kids of any age.
Buy them online
And... if you're running out of time to make your Easter baskets, you can find some online, like these beautiful hession baskets with lace and ribbon, for the kids: yep, there's something special about gathering beautiful Easter eggs in a basket.
Tip #5 ... Include some Easter games and special gifts
Prepare small packs of other Easter gifts to hand out to each child when they return, triumphant or discouraged, from the hunt. It will serve to remind the children that the Easter egg hunt is not the most important thing at Easter. Some suggestions might be the Easter message told with jellybeans, or gift ideas that are not necessarily designed for the sweet tooth.
So.. here are some simple but fun Easter games and activities to present following the Easter egg Hunt:
* Egg & Spoon race- an old favourite. Add a modern twist with a water egg on a spoon race.
* Bunny, Bunny, Hop- this is the same as Duck, Duck. Goose.
* Egg Bowling- yes, it's much harder to bowl with an egg. Give it a try.
* Use some printable games like anEaster Tic-Tac-Toe.
* Easter egg ker-plunk is a lot of fun, too.
*Easter trivia games to print and play.
And just a bit more...
*It's a great idea to include a photo booth with some Easter props.
* Easter crafts... now, there are so many of these to choose from that I create a special Pinterest board you might like to check out and follow.
And finally,
if you wanted to finish with something that would place the focus back on others, then a Caring Basket would be a great closing activity for the kids. They can be involved in assembling and/or giving Easter baskets to those in need: the elderly, the sick or a needy family.
Now, are you feeling inspired or overwhelmed? I really hope it's the former because Easter is a wonderful celebration to share with your family and friends, especially if you can also share the Good News of the first Easter story.

I think seasons are one of my favorite things about living, even if I do live in California. Experiencing environmental change, something to make us feel like we're not the only ones changing. A constant rotation of transformation for all things. Seasons are bound to happen; they happen to earth and they happen to us.
"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing (Ecclesiastes 3:1-22)"
Oh Spring, the season of rebirth and growth. It's coming out of the storm stronger and more refreshed than ever. It's praising for all that has happened and all God has pulled you through. It's embracing the new. On Earth, it's the season for rebirth , and I think it's the same spiritually; saying goodbye to the old and hello to the new. It's the small steps moving forward into more of who we are called to be. Without discouragement be aware that the small insignificant steps add up to heaven on Earth. It simply involves making a decision to move forward.
It's what all of creation looks forward to all year, past the winter, past the transition and into the fullness of God's joy. I just think about being in school being in the final months on Spring knowing summer is right around the corner. Summer is a reminder of freedom and enjoying the harvest we reaped through winter. Jesus calls us into having His joy through all the seasons but summer is where all I feel joy constantly. It's actually heaven on Earth with God. But just like that, summer fades, and the freshness of fall is upon us.
Sweet Autumn, crisp air and nostalgia of the summer. My favorite season on Earth and in Heaven. For starters it's the best season ever, especially on the east coast… It's when the air gets chilly, the spirit of the holidays are around the corner and everyone is obsessed with pumpkins (me included). This season is when we can look at nature and just appreciate everything. It's time to let go of certain things, the same way the leaves fall. Have you ever thought about why the leaves change color? Well, for no reason. That's it. They change because it's their time to, the green pigment fades, letting go of something, which in return turns makes for something really beautiful. Think about that for a second.
Sacrifice is beautiful.
When I let go, it opens up new doors for God to walk through and when there's a promise for God to move, then I will do anything to see them fulfilled.
When most think of winter most think of Christmas, snow and cuddling. The thing about winter spiritually is that it's hard. It's harsh and bitter, like a snowstorm. It's hard to see the beauty of a snowstorm when you're outside standing naked. That's kind of what spiritual winter feels like to me. Standing in a snowstorm naked wondering when Jesus is going to bring you the blanket.
However, when you're inside by a fireplace with family and hot cocoa a snowstorm is beautiful. What I'm trying to get at is that when I reflect on my winters with Jesus, I find them to be some of the most powerful and beautiful seasons, they're just the hardest the walk through. However, I lean on Him the most in these seasons, I grow the most with God and see the fruit of Spring because of what has been harvested in the winter.
I take every season as it comes and praise God through every single one. No matter the circumstance through heartbreak or joy, He is God and He is love. Apart from Him, I am nothing. Learn to embrace the season you're in, even if it's winter. You never know the fruit of it until Spring, and there will be fruit because He is faithful.

After you carefully craft and execute an email marketing campaign, what's the worst thing that could happen?
For most marketers, the answer is "My messages lands in the spam folder."
If your emails are marked as "spam" versus hitting the inbox, your subscribers will never see them or engage with them. That's time, money, brainpower, and resources down the drain.
So, how do you make sure your email marketing messages get seen? How do you keep them out of spam purgatory?
There are lots of strategies you can use to make sure it doesn't happen. Learn what they are, and your emails will have a much better chance of winning clicks and converting subscribers.
9 email marketing techniques to keep your messages out of the spam folder
Use these techniques, strategies, and tips to stay on the right side of the spam folder.
1. Only send emails to people who opted-in.
One of the first major must-dos to keep your emails from being marked as spam: only send to your subscribers, the people who opted-in.
Shady list-building tactics, such as buying email addresses or sending unsolicited emails, are undesirable. And, since they're against the law, you could incur some hefty fines for engaging in them.
Unless someone confirmed they want to receive your marketing emails (according to the CAN-SPAM Act, this is called "express permission"), do not send to them under any circumstances.
2. Avoid subject lines with spam trigger words.
Did you know that email filters look for specific trigger words in your subject lines to help determine whether your messages are spam?
Yes, there is a lexicon of spammy-sounding language. It turns out that spammers often use the same types of wording to trick buyers.
According to Small Business Trends and HubSpot, these are some of the top words and phrases to avoid in your emails:
- Clearance
- Buy direct
- As seen on
- Additional income
- Be your own boss
- Earn $
- Extra income
- While you sleep
- Money making
- Potential earnings
- Cash bonus
- Fast cash
- Increase sales
- Save up to
- Serious cash
- Why pay more?
- Once in a lifetime
- Web traffic
- Free consultation
- No strings attached
- What are you waiting for?
- Call now
- Sign up free today
- Online biz opportunity
3. Keep an eye on your sender reputation and spam score.
Email providers do a lot to determine whether your email will show up in recipients' inboxes, including looking at your sender reputation.
Also called your IP reputation, sender score, or IP score, this refers to your sender IP address. Different factors like the quality of the email content you send, the engagement you get, and the quality of your email contacts all influence your score and determine your reputation.
A low sender reputation score can mean an email provider will filter your messages into the spam folder. Keep an eye on your score to make sure this won't influence your marketing reach.
Generally, sender scores are generated by third parties such as Sender Score by ReturnPath and Talos Intelligence by Cisco.
4. Don't send too many emails...
While you're at it, don't forget to avoid spam-like behavior at all costs.
A big no-no is sending too many marketing emails to your subscribers. For example, if you send out multiple emails per day, that can easily get you flagged as spam.
5. But do send emails consistently.
On the flip side, if you send marketing emails inconsistently or randomly, you'll be more likely to get sent straight to spam.
Instead, stick to a consistent schedule for sending out your messages. Once or twice a week on the same day is a good best practice to try.
6. Make sure the content you send is targeted and relevant.
A major way you can avoid the spam folder is by focusing on email content that's relevant to your readers. After all, the more they enjoy receiving your emails, the less likely they are to flag them as spam.
Here are a few tips to stay relevant:
- Know your subscribers. Understand their preferences.
- Use segmentation to divide your audience into smaller groups and target each individually. This helps ensure the emails you send are super-relevant.
- Always aim to add value to your readers' lives with each email you send. If there's no value in it for them, don't send it.
For example, look at this targeted email from Barnes & Noble. It's addressed "Dear Reader," and is obviously meant for adult bookworms and fans of modern fiction.
7. Ensure your sender information isn't misleading.
According to the CAN-SPAM Act, the emails you send must not have "false or misleading header information." That includes the sender information in the "from" and "reply-to" fields as well as the routing information.
For instance, you can't send email that looks like it came from a different sender. You also shouldn't send marketing emails from an address that looks suspicious or unrecognizable.
In other words, if it looks like a human didn't send it, or it looks like a scam, it will probably be marked as spam.
Instead, attempt to personalize the email address from which you send marketing messages. Make it look like a human or a group of humans are behind it (because it's true!).
Here's an example from Best Friends Pet Hotel:
8. Include your physical address in all email marketing messages.
Another stipulation of the CAN-SPAM Act is that you must include your address in all of your email marketing messages. In general, this just shows that you're a real business with a physical location.
Most companies add their address to their email footer, like this:
9. Check your email deliverability record.
More often than not, your ESP (email service provider) will have different metrics available that you can monitor to track where your messages end up and how subscribers engage with them (or not).
The most common include:
- Open Rate – The percentage of subscribers who opened your emails.
- Delivery Rate – The percentage of emails successfully delivered to subscriber inboxes (can include landing in spam!).
- Click Rate – The percentage of clicks within an opened email.
- Unsubscribe or Opt-Out Rate – The percentage of email recipients who unsubscribe or opt-out of your email marketing.
It's a good idea to keep track of these metrics and monitor how your emails are doing with subscribers. The effectiveness of your emails can and will affect whether or not you'll end up in the spam folder.
If you notice undesirable metrics, like a low delivery rate, a low open rate, or a high unsubscribe rate, this guide to improving your email results can help you decide your next steps.
10. Use a two-step, double opt-in process to confirm email subscribers.
Lots of people often sign up for email newsletters and then promptly forget about it. Then, when said emails start showing up in their inbox, they mark them as spam because they don't remember that first point of contact when they initially consented.
To help weed out these types of one-and-done subscribers, use a two-step, double opt-in process on your sign-up forms.
This just means that once a user enters their email address and hits "sign me up," they won't be automatically added to the list. Instead, they will receive a confirmation email in their inbox where they must click a link to confirm they want to receive your emails.
This confirmation email from Zulily is a good example of the double opt-in process:
Wrap up
If your marketing emails are getting sent straight to spam, that equals wasted time, wasted budget, and wasted resources.
To make sure your subscribers actually see your messages, you have to:
- Engage in best practices.
- Follow the rules outlined in legislation like the CAN-SPAM Act.
- Seek to add value to your readers' lives through targeted, relevant email content.
Use these methods and techniques to hit more inboxes and you'll see better results from your email marketing campaigns. Best of luck!

FairMormon is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing well-documented answers to criticisms of the doctrine, practice, and history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Question: How has the Church responded to issues related to Church history?
FairMormon Answers Wiki Table of Contents
Dallin Oaks: "Don't depreciate their effectiveness in one area because they have some misbehavior in another area"
Elder Dallin Oaks discusses the issue of church history and facts that are not discussed frequently in church approved curriculum during an interview with Helen Whitney (HW) for the PBS documentary, The Mormons. He gives a good description of this dilemma and the church's method for confronting it. [1]
Referring to the importance of not focusing on a person's negative aspects while learning of their history Elder Oaks said,
...See a person in context; don't depreciate their effectiveness in one area because they have some misbehavior in another area — especially from their youth. I think that's the spirit of that. I think I'm not talking necessarily just about writing Mormon history; I'm talking about George Washington or any other case. If he had an affair with a girl when he was a teenager, I don't need to read that when I'm trying to read a biography of the Founding Father of our nation.
Elder Oaks is then asked how the church deals with imperfections of early church members and current members coming across this information themselves on the internet rather than through teachings of the church. Elder Oaks responds,
It's an old problem, the extent to which official histories, whatever they are, or semi-official histories, get into things that are shadowy or less well-known or whatever. That's an old problem in Mormonism — a feeling of members that they shouldn't have been surprised by the fact that this or that happened, they should've been alerted to it. I have felt that throughout my life.
Dallin Oaks: We're emerging from a period of history writing within the Church [of] adoring history that doesn't deal with anything that's unfavorable
There are several different elements of that. One element is that we're emerging from a period of history writing within the Church [of] adoring history that doesn't deal with anything that's unfavorable, and we're coming into a period of "warts and all" kind of history. Perhaps our writing of history is lagging behind the times, but I believe that there is purpose in all these things — there may have been a time when Church members could not have been as well prepared for that kind of historical writing as they may be now.
On the other hand, there are constraints on trying to reveal everything. You don't want to be getting into and creating doubts that didn't exist in the first place. And what is plenty of history for one person is inadequate for another, and we have a large church, and that's a big problem. And another problem is there are a lot of things that the Church has written about that the members haven't read. And the Sunday School teacher that gives "Brother Jones" his understanding of Church history may be inadequately informed and may not reveal something which the Church has published. It's in the history written for college or Institute students, sources written for quite mature students, but not every Sunday School teacher that introduces people to a history is familiar with that. And so there is no way to avoid this criticism. The best I can say is that we're moving with the times, we're getting more and more forthright, but we will never satisfy every complaint along that line and probably shouldn't.
Latter-day Saint apologist Michael R. Ash makes similar points and adds helpful context in his book Shaken Faith Syndrome:
Betrayal and Church "Cover-Up"
When potentially troubling information is presented in faith-promoting ways, the information--accompanied by the weight of a faithful context--often helps members understand difficult issues within a framework of their belief system. When hostile sources present the same information, they frequently claim or imply that the Church hides this information from members. The critics supposedly are exposing a "cover-up". This may add weight to the contra-LDS source and give the impression that they (the critics) are really the objective truth-seekers who are merely uncovering the facts.
[. . .]
Information can be withheld intentionally or unintentionally. First we will discuss the intentional reasons. In the context of early creations of LDS history, we find a tradition among most-nineteenth century biographies (the primary form of historical creations) that emphasized the positive aspects of heroic figures in the hopes of inspiring readers while often exaggerating or even fabricating anecdotes--such as George Washington chopping down his father's cherry tree. Frequently, in cases of early American biographies involving religious or philosophical movements, the movement took center stage and the "history" was a tool for evangelizing the movement. Any information that might harm the movement was withheld from the biography/history.
Early Mormon historians, like many historians of their era, were not trained in history but were instead influenced by the English Puritans whose histories were written as faithful explanations of their events. These Puritans (as well as early LDS historians) believed that, like the Hebrews before them, they were God's chosen people whose coming to America was part of God's unfolding plan. "Their history and biography" note three prominent historians, "told the saga of God's dealings as seen in their personal lives. In short, Puritan biography and autobiography were simultaneously scripture as well as history". "Accuracy and realism were...largely things of the future".
[. . .]
As for the unintentional censoring of information, we turn to the Church curriculum. Some ex-members complain that they never heard certain aspects of Church history from the Sunday School classes they attended. The purpose of Church curriculum, however, including Sunday School, Priesthood, and Relief Society, is to support the mission of the Church: to bring people to Christ. Very little actual history is discussed in Church classes. Even every fourth years when the Doctrine and Covenants is taught (which includes some Church history) the primary goal of the class is to help members draw closer to God, seek the Spirit, and understand gospel principles.
Ash then makes points about how many details about Church history that members "didn't" (or don't) "know about" are covered in Church magazines and other publications sponsored by the Church. He then discusses history reading in general in the United States.
It [has] been said that America is a nation of non-readers. We are, by and large, literate, but we are often [uninformed] and tend to spend less time reading than watching TV or surfing the Internet. A 2011 survey, for instance, found that the average U.S. adult spends about 7-12 times more time watching TV than reading books. Studies indicate that in the past two decades about 25% fewer American adults spent time reading books. According to another study,
- One-third of high school graduates never read another book for the rest of their lives.
- 58% of the U.S. adult population never reads another book after high school.
- 42% of college graduates never read another book.
- 80% of U.S. families did not buy or read a book last year
- 70% of U.S. adults have not been in a bookstore in the last five years.
- 57% of new books are not read to completion.
When we do read, we often choose pop magazines or novels over nonfiction. Most Americans, for example, are severely uninformed in regards to significant historical issues, current events, or scientific facts. According to a 2003 Gallup poll, a full 83% of Americans could not name the then-current Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, William Rehnquisy, and nearly a third of Americans were unable to name the then-current vice president Dick Cheney.
[. . .]
One recent study showed that many Americans were significantly ignorant on what should be common matters of religious knowledge. Only 54% of respondents, for instance knew that the Koran (Quran) is an Islamic holy book. Only 51% knew that Joseph Smith was a Mormon, and only 46% knew that Martin Luther inspired the Reformation. Althought the vast majority of the people polled [were] Christian, only 37% said they read the scriptures at least once a week...and only 45% knew that the Gospels [were] comprised of the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
[. . .]
While General Authorities are typically well versed in the scriptures, they may or may not be very well versed in Church history. As historian D. Michael Quinn explains, "Church leaders have as much experience with the church's past history as anyone who graduated from seminary, so they are not trying to conceal any concerns or a great secret or mystery, because they are not aware of them. If they haven't acquired a knowledge of church history before they become General Authority, they don't have time to acquire it."
This point from D. Michael Quinn is important. Also important to mention here is the presence of the Church Correlation Committee. It has been observed by several Latter-day Saint scholars that having to present information that may be new or slightly disconcerting to the committee can present challenges as they are in a position to vet what is presented to Church members officially. Some have opted to circle the wagons and not allow such information to be written into manuals. There have been scholars who have written important historical details into the manual that were subsequently edited out after review by the rest of the committee. Thus, information usually doesn't even reach the Quorum of the Twelve as it usually has been shut down here. These are all good people acting as midlevel bureaucrats and perhaps intended well--simply wanting to defend the faith and protect the reputation and image of the Church from those scholars that may have had bad intentions (which does happen)--but they may have created more red tape and complication than there needed to be.
[. . .]
As we examine other challenging issues in LDS publications we find that many, if not all, of the issues have been noted, examined, or discussed by believing LDS historians in a variety of LDS-targeted publications, conferences, and programs. The Ensign and its forerunner, the Improvement Era (official LDS magazines) have the primary goal of enhancing member understanding of gospel principles and providing articles on how to implement those princples into everyday lives. Nevertheless, both magazines have run articles on challenging issues. Likewise, greater details on less commonly known LDS historical issues are found in the Church sponsored BYU Studies and other LDS-related publications. Following are examples of the issues tackled by these official publications. The Kinderhook Plates, Joseph's use of a "seer stone" to translate the Book of Mormon, Joseph's method of translating by putting the seer stone in the bottom of a hat and then putting his face into that hat, Joseph's early treasure digging, the Danites, the Mountatin Meadows Masacre, the Word of Wisdom in nineteenth century thought, a limited geography for the Book of Mormon, "other Amerindians" coexisting with Book of Mormon peoples, and more.
LDS Scholars have openly discussed these topics for decades and any student seriously interested in LDS History had access to material that engaged these issues. Contributors to FARMS (the Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies, now the Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship) have been publishing books and articles on many in-depth and challenging aspects of LDS history, archaeology, scientific research, and apologetic issues since 1979.Ironically, many publications that are critical of traditional accounts of Mormon origins often withhold information that supports the traditional accounts. By presenting only unfavorable evidence and censoring the favorable evidence, much anti-Mormon material is guilty of the very thing with which they charge the Church--concealing the truth.[2]
The confusion of Church History "cover-up" and "betrayal" may be best described as a complex issue involving many parties and different concerns and cannot be blamed on any one party nor one aspect in particular.
- The context of writing hagiographic histories and the world emerging from that period of history writing into the "warts and all" period. This includes the recycling of older materials into newer ones and creating a perhaps more widespread, yet less nuanced and less complex, understanding of Church history.
- The natural tendency of many to not be interested in engaging history--much less in a detailed and complex way. Most members aren't interested in Church history or apologetic issues unless they need to be.
- Church leaders not being able to know many aspects of Church history with little time to research it other than occasional looks into the most preponderant books--recycling narratives that aren't entirely accurate.
- The concern with knowing when and how to publish information officially and where to focus discussion (whether in Sunday School, Relief Society, Seminary, or/and Institute) when it is made known and consensus has been reached among scholars as to its validity so that doubts aren't created where they weren't meant to be fomented.
- The natural expansion of historical understanding as more source documents come to light and the subsequent deliberation of how, where, what, when, and/or if that information should be (is necessary to be) published.
- The availability of information on nearly every critical issue in official magazines, semi-official publications (such as the Encyclopedia of Mormonism) and in publications by organizations sponsored by the Church (such as BYU Studies and FARMS) and organizations arisen without official sponsorship (such as FairMormon).
Thus, critics who would like to suggest that the Church has undergone a series of coverups to hide its "damaging origins" will have to go through pains to assert such. Conversely, defenders of the Church should be sensitive when responding this question as it is not reasonable to expect that everyone should be familiar with apologetic/historical issues in their complexity and be familiar with the resources discussing them (even though there are several examples of people who were and are). We simply can't point a finger at anyone.
It seems as though, with regard to historical issues and critical questions, the Church is acting to centralize the information and moving it from an "if you need it" basis (as we have seen from the past) to full, upfront inoculation (as we are seeing now) which will hopefully eliminate future confusion. With the publication of the Gospel Topics Essays, the new narrative history being published on the Gospel Library, lds.org, and the Ensign called "Saints", the publication of the Joseph Smith papers, the introduction of courses such as Foundations of the Restoration in Institutes and Seminaries (which require the reading of the Gospel Topics Essays), and the digitalization of all of Church archives for public consumption and use, the goal of writing history "for the good of the church, and for the rising generations that shall grow up on the land of Zion, to possess it from generation to generation, forever and ever" will be accomplished well. We shouldn't worry about the publication of all of these resources. The Lord promises that "— there is no weapon that is formed against [us that] shall prosper" (D&C 71:9).

New lease of life for former college building
City of Glasgow College's former building on North Hanover Street is set for renovation under proposed new development plans.
The B-listed building has been acquired by Osborne + Co and joint venture partners Scotsbridge Holdings who intend to refurbish it as Grade A office space together with serviced flats on the Cathedral Street side.
The iconic Glasgow landmark features a giant People Make Glasgow brand poster and was opened as the College of Building in 1964.
Fares Samara, Vice Principal of Infrastructure at City of Glasgow College, said:
"We look forward to seeing the sympathetic restoration bringing a new lease of life to the building and the improvements the change will bring for both the local community and those visiting our city."
Designed by Glasgow firm Wylie, Shanks & Partners the building was awarded B-listed status in 2002, together with the Charles Oakley building on Cathedral Street. Their unusual bulbous, porthole-pierced roofs were inspired by Le Corbusier's Unitè d'Habitation at Marseille and were originally used as gyms.
Development Director for Osborne + Co, Will Hean, said:
"We are very excited by this opportunity and look forward to refurbishing such an iconic building within central Glasgow and continuing Osborne's investment into the city.
"This acquisition will allow us to capitalise on Glasgow's current supply demand imbalance, with the market currently characterised by a dearth of flexible Grade A office space and significant pent-up occupier demand.
"We will work with the council, Historic Environment Scotland and the wider city community to deliver a refurbishment that the city will be proud of and which will attract major inward investment."
A proposal of application notice has been submitted to Glasgow City Council.
Savills represented Osborne+Co while Ryden acted for City of Glasgow College, which was also supported by The Scottish Futures Trust.

Wool comes from sheep. They grow a wool coat and once a year this wool coat is sheared off the animal. This is frequently done in the early spring shortly before they have their lambs. A shorn ewe will be more likely to stay out of the wind and bad weather and protect her new-born lamb if she does not have a thick wool coat on her.
Wool is naturally crimped, which makes it easy to spin into yarn. It has excellent insulating properties, is resilient, elastic and durable. Characteristically, wool is also hypoallergenic and flame-resistant.
Wool is best known for its warmth due to its excellent insulating properties. It is breathable which makes it an excellent year-round material, its fibres trapping heat in the winter and letting the air circulate in the summer. Wool's strong durable fibres also makes for a long-lasting material. As wool is hypoallergenic and resistant to dust, it is an excellent choice of fibre for those with allergies.

It is the author, Fiona Dunlop, who, through her enthusiasm and incredible
experiences whilst travelling the world, brings this book alive. If you are
expecting a simple list of regurgitated recipes, forget it. This book is what
it says, a journey; a journey in time, and a journey in space; from Almería
to Cádiz via Granada, Córdoba, Antequera, Málaga and Seville. On the
way, it provides a feast for the eyes with engaging photographs of local
produce, agriculture and sights.
Part travelogue, part history, part cookbook, Andaluz takes you deep into
the heart of culinary Andalucía from a time when southern Spain was
known as Al Andalus, to the Michelin starred restaurants of the 21st
century. Twenty-one cooks have contributed over 100 recipes and Fiona
has found some memorable characters to enrich the story of their dishes.
An 80-year-old prepares fig and almond roll, another chef serves to tables
set in a bullring. They come from dark kitchens in the smallest villages,
from behind wood-fired grills at ventas and bodegas and from the
kitchens of local professional chefs.
The recipes illustrate the legacy of the Arabs and Berbers in
contemporary kitchens, using the ingredients inherited from those people.
Where would Andalucían cooking be without couscous, rice, aubergines,
oranges, figs, apricots, marzipan and a whole rack of spices? Fiona's cooks
combine these ingredients with foods endemic to the region such as Iberico
pork, olives and produce from the grape; wine, sherry, sultanas and raisins.
The recipes featured in this magazine, Marinated Iberian pork with raisin
couscous and Bodegas Mezquita's Cod, Olive and Orange Salad, are
typical, tasty, simple to prepare, examples of the flavours you will experience
in Andaluz – A Food Journey Through Southern Spain.
After writing numerous travel-guides on Asia
and Latin America, and wide-ranging travel
features, Fiona's passion for food gained the
upper hand. Her first cookery book, New
Tapas published in 2002, focusing on Spain's
tapas culture, was an international best-seller,
followed by The North African Kitchen and
Real Mexican Food.
After witnessing huge changes in Spain for
over 35 years, and writing books and features
on the country, Fiona still hands her travel
crown to Andalucía because, uniquely, it fuses
the Arab world with Europe – injected with a
huge dose of alegría. There, in her holiday
house in the olive-groves, she contemplates
the sierra, cooks local produce and plots
sorties to tapas bars and fiestas. She has
finally created a book about it: Andaluz, a
Food Journey through Southern Spain.

Learning The Right Ways To Utilize Internet Marketing
When done right, Internet marketing can rake in huge profits. It takes time to make a business profitable. Since time is a valuable resource, you need to manage it wisely. Continue reading to gain tips on managing and marketing your business effectively with regard to your personal time.
You need to have a list of customers and addresses. Have a subscription page on your site, or ask people for their email addresses when they buy something. Once you have the mailing list, you can send out information about sales, promote certain items or even solicit feedback from customers.
Observe your competitors. You could learn from their successes and mistakes. If you find that you are interested in their products, or see why their customers would be, then pay close attention to how you can utilize some of these strategies for your own purposes.
A frequently asked questions section on your webpage can help you solve the most common customer problems while promoting your products. Provide well-thought-out answers to all questions, and refer your readers to products you have found useful in addressing the quandary as appropriate. Work the questions around your products without making it seem that way.
Start small when launching a new website to introduce your offerings. Search engines will tend to overlook a site with one or two million indexed pages, more so than one that has between ten or twenty thousand.
Video marketing is an increasingly important tool you can put into your business's Internet marketing toolbox. Create videos of yourself demonstrating your products and share them on sites such as YouTube. Combined with a great screen capture and a captivating title, the video will grab your customers and help guide them to buy.
Emails are really important when establishing an Internet marketing campaign. Be certain to protect them! Retaining old emails and email addresses can have a huge impact on your business, so don't use an email service that will delete old messages. Independent, paid-for services for archiving your email may be a good investment, especially if your line of work calls for sending and receiving a lot of sensitive information to and from consultants and customers.
It is essential when owning a business that you spend your advertising dollars in the right ways. If it will not work for you, do not spend money on it. If you're going to invest any money, you need to get what you're pay for. That's why banner ads are a great thing.
Updating content frequently is one of the best things you can do to capture the attention of the search engines. Outdated information will make you look lazy and unprofessional, reducing your chance at a sale. If your site is frequently updated and user-friendly, your readers will enjoy visiting it.
Find out what sort of content people in your niche want to read, and give it to them. Knowing your target audience will help you located or create content that will be attractive to it.
Internet marketing requires hard work and dedication, but does allow you to have free time to enjoy work. Be smart about how you divide up your hours, and success will find you.
