God's Praise Pyramid
Psalm 148
Life is full of highs and lows. If you're a sports fan, sometimes you're sure your team is going to win – that's a high. And then they loose in the last seconds – that's a low. Or, if you're an investor, one day everything is up, and you feel optimistic. The next day, everything is down again, and you feel pessimistic. Sports and finances are just things of this life. But we can also have highs and lows in our faith. That's what was about to happen with Jesus' disciples. Seeing Him transfigured was a spiritual high for them; they never wanted it to end. But actually God was using the high of Transfiguration to get them ready for their lowest low, when they would see Jesus on the cross. And then God would use that to get them ready for their highest high, when they would see Jesus alive on Easter evening. So it is, the highs get us ready for the lows, and the lows get us ready for the highs. Personally, I don't enjoy roller coasters that much. I would prefer life be more even. However, God has a reason for all our highs and lows. Also in our text this morning He shows us how He keeps our faith from flying off the tracks. So, whether we're going through a high or a low or somewhere in between, the key is praising Him. Psalm 148 gives us many reasons for praising Him. However, these reasons are in order of importance, and so reading Psalm 148 is like climbing up a big pyramid; and when we get to the top of God's Praise Pyramid, may we all shout out, "Praise the Lord!"
Our text reads: Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise him in the heights above. Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly hosts. – Psalm 148:1-2. The very thought of heaven is reason to praise God. But this is at the base of God's praise pyramid, because we can't see heaven. We just know that it's a place of intense beauty, and that the angels and the souls of believers are there with Jesus. We also know that in heaven there are none of the things that bring us down – no more hunger or thirst, or being too hot or too cold, or death, or mourning, or pain. We can't imagine it! Still, just thinking about heaven helps keep our faith on track, because when times are good, we see our blessings in perspective; and when times are bad, we don't lose hope.
And now we move up to the next reason for praising God. Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars. – Psalm 148:3 The universe praises God just by how big it is. There are 100 billion stars like our sun making up our galaxy, which we call the Milky Way. And there are 100 billion galaxies or more, like our Milky Way, which make up the universe. For years people, who think they know more than God, have been saying that the universe came into existence by a big bang, and that everything we see now has evolved from that. This week, astrophysicists announced that the big bang theory can't be true, because they're finding too many problems with it. But we know what's true. The heavens declare the glory of God. Just looking up at night makes us say, "Praise the Lord", because we're seeing with our own eyes proofs of His infinite power and wisdom – power and wisdom He's also using in caring for us.
We read on in our text: Praise the Lord from the earth, you great sea creatures and all ocean depths, lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy winds that do his bidding. – Psalm 148:7-8 It kind of blows our mind when we stand by the ocean and think about how vast it is and all the different creatures that live in the ocean. But do you realize that if it weren't for the gravitational pull of the moon, we wouldn't have tides. And if we didn't have tides, there is so much water in the oceans that they would wash over us and we'd all drown. But God keeps everything in perfect balance, so that we don't drown, or burn up, or freeze, because God keeps the earth always at just the right distance from the sun, which also gives us our seasons and controls our weather. Well, actually God is working through the forces of nature to control the weather. And so at times He sends us perfect weather, because He loves to bless us. At other times He allows terrible storms, or drought, or climate change, because He love us, and wants to call people everywhere to repentance. Praise the Lord!
We continue up God's praise pyramid. Praise him, you mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars, wild animals and all cattle, small creatures and flying birds. – Psalm 148:9-10
Life is good! Who wouldn't enjoy standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon or driving through the Rockies? And then if we get to see a bear or a moose from the safety of our car, that's really cool. Or, who doesn't enjoy seeing baby animals, like the baby giraffe that was at our zoo last year? Or, how 'bout an elephant? Here's a picture of our daughter who lives in China and is on vacation this week in Thailand. So, what does this big, beautiful creation say about God? He loves to bless us and give us good things, He loves watching us have fun. And for all of this all we can do is thank Him and shout, "Praise the Lord!"
We read on in our text: Praise the Lord, kings of the earth and all nations, you princes and all rulers on earth. – Psalm 148:11 Not to be cynical, but sometimes kings and rulers are godly people, and sometimes they know as much about God as a rock or a tree does. However, even when rulers do not acknowledge God, He is still ruling the nations. He still make every decisions rulers make, work together for the good of His Gospel. His goal is that ultimately many more will hear it and be brought to faith by it. For example, God used the Babylonians to discipline His people, Israel. Then He used the Persians to bring His people back to the Promised Land. Then He used the Greeks to give the world then a common language. Then He used the Romans give the world roads and law and order, so that the first Christians could carry the Gospel to every country. Then He used the persecutions by the Romans to strengthen the believers, and He used the conquest of Rome by the barbarians to bring the Gospel to the Germans and Norwegians. Ultimately He has used world events to bring the Gospel to the New World, and has so blessed us here with freedoms and resources, that now it's our turn to get the Gospel out to many more. For each new mission that's started, and for each new convert who confesses Jesus as Lord, what can we say but: "Praise the Lord?"
And now the reasons in our Psalm for giving thanks are going to get more intense. We read, Praise Him you young men and women. – Psalm 148:12a Here's a picture of students worshipping at Martin Luther College, our pastor/teacher training school. The president of MLC, Pastor Mark Zarling told us at pastors conference that one of the great joys of serving at Martin Luther College is seeing the spiritual gifts God has given to the 700 plus young men and women training for ministry. This is exciting! When we see young people, who love the Lord, it makes old people like me wish I could be young again, and have that many more years here to serve Him. It also makes me thankful to know that in spite of everything that's going on this world, the church is going to continue. And the church is going to keep growing in places and in ways, we could never have imagined. And so we say again, "Praise the Lord!"
Here's another reason to praise Him. Praise Him, you old men and children. – Psalm 148:12b People of all ages are precious to God, but old people are especially precious to Him. Time and time again the Bible includes neglect of old people as among the worst sins a person can commit. Anyway old people praise God, because with the advantage of years, they have seen how God keeps His promises, and they are able to tell children and their children's children the wonderful things God does. However, even when they get to the point where they can't say as much anymore, they're still precious to God. He promises them: Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you. – Isaiah 46:4
And now we move a little higher up God's praise pyramid. Another class of people that's even more precious yet to God than old people is children. Children praise God by trusting in Him with childlike faith and being an example for others. Also, misleading a child into sin, or not teaching a child how to worship God earns a person having a millstone tied around his neck and thrown into the middle of the ocean. That's serious, isn't it.
And now we come to the peak of God's praise pyramid. This is the most important and precious part, and from here we can see and understand everything else. We read: He has raised up for his people a horn, the praise of all his faithful saints, of Israel, the people close to his heart. – Psalm 148:14 The word "horn" is picture language for His Son, because His Son would defeat all His enemies and will reign forever and ever. Also, all things were made through His Son and for His Son, so that all creation, each part in its own way, would reflect God's glory forever and ever. However, what does God do with His most precious? He crucifies Him for the sake of those, who are close to His heart, and that's you and me.
Seeing God's love for us in all creation is a high for us. Yet we have rebelled against God. We have sinned and realizing this is a low! Yet when we can't lift our eyes up to Him, in His Word He gives us glimpses of our highest high, when we too shall see Jesus in His glory! As we follow Jesus to the cross this season of Lent and as we praise Him on Easter morning, may God use all of this to keep our faith on their tracks in all the ups and downs of our life. Praise the Lord! And please say it with me, Praise the Lord! Amen.

Ruth Wismayer Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist
About me
I have been working with children for ten years, initially providing in-school support and home visits for children with special needs. My links with the charity, Resources for Autism, introduced me to the issues relating to autistic spectrum disorders. Over the next three years I worked as teacher and mentor to an adopted child with complex emotional and mental health needs. This led to my decision to train as a child psychotherapist.
I began my training at Birkbeck College London in 2013. During my training I completed a two year placement as a school counsellor with Place2Be, completing my Masters in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy in 2016. Since then, I have been providing therapy for inner city primary schools and a specialist secondary school for pupils excluded from mainstream education.
I have experience of working with a range of ages from 5 to 18, engaging with a variety of issues including developmental delay, behavioural and social problems, elective mutism, bereavement, parental neglect (and drug addiction), divorce, traumatic separation, domestic violence, learning difficulties and issues surrounding fostering and adoption.
I also run a private practice, offering weekly therapy sessions for children and teenagers experiencing depression, anxiety or other mental health issues.
My approach
My approach is person-centred. This means that the client is encouraged to lead the session, whilst I try to respond to the underlying anxieties and conflicts being expressed. I use psychodynamic theory to inform the work, enabling me to make connections with the child's past.
Therapy can provide a safe and confidential space within which a child may explore their inner world either through play, role play, artwork or just talking.
Regular, weekly sessions can create in the child a sense of continuity; of being held; of having parameters within which to experiment, build trust and communicate.
My governing body is the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) which has a strict code of ethics and stringent guidelines which therapists must adhere to.
I attend personal supervision regularly which is also a requirement of the BACP. As well as Continual Professional Development courses and seminars, which keep me up to date with the latest research and general information in the counselling world.
If you would like to get in touch regarding your child please call my confidential line or email and I will respond promptly.

Therapies offered
Photos & videos
Before beginning therapeutic work with a child, I meet with his/her parents to discuss the issues of concern. This consultation lasts 75 minutes, during which time we will arrange the child's initial assessment session.
The assessment session, also 75 minutes, is a chance for the child to settle into the space and see how they feel about being there. In this first meeting I will also assess the child and decide whether or not we should begin therapy.
Older adolescents often prefer to come with their parent(s) to the initial consultation, which I consider on a case by case basis.
Should we proceed, therapy sessions take place once a week, at a regular time. I work one to one with the child only. Parents/guardians drop off and collect at specified times.
Each of the initial 75 minute meetings are charged at £75 and ongoing individual sessions, which last 50 minutes, are charged at £60.
Further information
If you have further questions, please email me and I will respond promptly.

Mills, Rebecca M. "'That Tyrant Custom': The Politics of Custom in the Poetry and Prose of Augustan Women Writers." Women's Writing 7, no. 3 (2000): 391-409.
COMUS John Milton (1637) Although its subtitle (A Masque Presented at Ludlow Castle 1634: On Michaelmas Night, Before the Right Honourable, John Earl of Bridgewater, Viscount Brackeley Lord President of Wales) declares John Milton's pastoral drama Comus a masque, it was not a masque in the true sense of the word. Masques presented at court focused mainly on spectacle, with their actual message of minor importance. By contrast Milton wrote a drama with focus on good versus evil in which theme proved paramount. Good is represented in the character of the virgin Lady, while evil is presented through the erotic Comus. However, Milton believed it comparable to court entertainments and originally titled it simply Masque. Samuel Johnson, among others, evaluated Comus as lacking the dramatic unity supporting a masque. Critics believe that Dr. John Dalton first titled it Comus when he printed it in 1738 with the subtitle A Masque, Now Adapted to the Stage.
As Milton's lengthy subtitle indicates, he wrote the production for entertainment at the estate of Viscount Brackeley, designing the parts of the three travelers to be enacted by the Bridgewater children. He did so at the request of his good friend Henry Lawes, a well-known musician who wrote the accompaniment to Comus and who portrayed the Attendant Spirit during its enactment at Bridgewater. The production celebrated Bridgewater's appointment to Wales and would be published anonymously by Lawes in 1637 and by Milton himself in 1645. The only existing manuscript of the original presentation of Comus is called the Bridgewater MS, privately owned.
The plot offers Comus as its antagonist. An evil mythological character who through magic can assume various guises, he represents unbridled passion, while the Attendant Spirit represents rational logic. In Milton's emphasis on good versus evil, he pits reason against passion, also having the Lady support the idea of reason. However, he emphasizes more her virginity. In its Platonic sense, chastity equated to loyalty to reason, and Milton does emphasize the superiority of reason over passion. But as critics note, he presents chastity as equating to virginity, not loyalty to reason.
A female traveler and her two brothers find themselves lost in "this drear Wood, / The nodding horror of whose shady brows" threatened all travelers. The brothers leave their sister momentarily to search for a source of water, and in their absence, the Lady hears the sounds of music and celebration. Comus is celebrating with his companions, bidding them, "Come let us our rites begin, / 'Tis only daylight that makes Sin." Milton offers repeated imagery of light and dark, symbolizing good and evil.
The Lady investigates the sounds and discovers Comus, disguised as a shepherd, who invites her into his curiously quiet cottage. A son of Bacchus, Roman god of wine, and Circe, the sorceress who turned Ulys-seus's crew into swine, Comus ceased his debauched revelry when he observed the Lady's approach, telling his companions that he feels "some chaste footing near about this ground." Enchanted by her great beauty, he plans to "under fair pretense of friendly ends" apply "well-pac't words of glozing courtesy, / Baited with reasons not unplausible." Milton continues to emphasize the superiority of reason above passion, as Comus will attempt to adopt reason for evil means but will ultimately fail. As the Lady approaches the cottage, now a quiet scene, she wonders whether she had simply fantasized the sounds she thought she heard. She expresses her thoughts that "may startle well, but not astound / The virtuous mind," as she calls upon "thou unblemish't form of Chastity, / I see ye visibly." Her lines support the Platonic idea that virtue is such a clear mental concept that it can be seen. Critics point out the circular logic of her argument, in which she basically claims that because she is chaste, she will remain chaste. Despite its logical flaw, its focus on chastity and purity supports the drama's theme.
The brothers return, aghast to find their sister has disappeared. The elder brother affirms the strength of her chastity to keep her safe:
She that has that, is clad in complete steel, And like a quiver'd Numph with Arrows keen May trace huge Forests and unharbor'd Heaths, Infamous Hills and sandy perilous wilds, Where through the sacred rays of chastity, No savage fierce, Bandit or mountaineer Will dare to soil her virgin purity.
In a foreshadowing of Comus's temptation of the Lady, the older brother also notes that one with chastity is protected by "A thousand liveried Angels . . . / Driving far off each thing of sin and guilt." He adds that such a woman is able to converse with spirits whom others can neither see nor hear.
A benign Attendant Spirit informs the brothers of the Lady's fate and promises to help them. He has assumed the guise of a shepherd named Thyrsis and reveals that Comus is a malevolent sorcerer who will bewitch their sister as he does all travelers. Comus lures them into his cottage by promising hospitality, then gives them drink that converts their faces into those of beasts, when he waves his magic wand, as the speaker reveals early on in the work:
Soon as he Potion works, their human count'nance, Th' express resemblance of the gods, is chang'd Into some brutish form of Wolf, or Bear, or ounce, or tiger, Hog, or bearded goat, All other parts remaining as they were.
Worse, those afflicted do not realize the change has taken place, not perceiving "their foul disfigurement" and still boasting "themselves more comely than before." This passage emphasizes Milton's repeated emphasis on the fact that in order for one to gain sensuality, he must sacrifice rational nature. Furnishing the brothers an antidote made from the root of the Harmony plant, the Spirit takes them to their sister.
Comus attempts to seduce the Lady with a famous speech celebrating the common Carpe Diem theme in which he famously claims that the Lady actually blasphemes nature by preserving her virginity while Nature pours "her bounties forth, . . . covering the earth with odors, fruits, and flocks." Although she rebuffs his twisted logic, he continues, telling her, "List Lady, be not coy" in clinging to her virginity, for "Beauty is nature's coin" and "must not be hoarded." He then speaks directly to her virgin state, as Milton adopts the figurative language of simile: "If you let slip time, like a neglected rose / It withers on the stalk with languish't head." She sits in an enchanted chair that will not allow her to depart, but her resolve to resist Comus remains strong, as she replies,
I had not thought to have unlockt my lips In this unhallow'd air, but that this Juggler Would think to charm my judgment, as mine eyes,
Obtruding false rules prankt in reason's garb. I hate when vice can bolt her arguments, And virtue has no tongue to check her pride.
She speaks in no uncertain terms, telling Comus of the "serious doctrine of Virginity." Comus has reinitiated the rout and passes drink that he attempts to force on the Lady. She refuses, but magic holds her to the chair and she cannot escape.
The brothers arrive at the cottage wielding swords that chase the revelers away, and Comus escapes. The Spirit scolds the brothers about letting Comus go; they "should have snatcht his wand" as only it can reverse the spell. However, the Spirit calls on Sabrina, goddess of the river Severn, for help, and she complies, telling the Spirit, "Shepherd 'tis my office best / to help ensnared chastity." Sabrina asks the Lady to look at her as she sprinkles drops from her pure fountain,
Thrice upon thy finger's tip, Thrice upon thy rubied lip; Next this marble venom'd seat Smear'd with gums of glutinous heat I touch with chaste palms moist and cold. Now the spell hath lost his hold.
The travelers express their gratitude to Sabrina through song, and then follow the Spirit to arrive at their destination of Ludlow Castle.
As Stanley Fish notes, Comus represents an early example of one of many Miltonian figures involved in the act of containment. While Comus attempts to establish his own space in God's universe with his own agenda, he will be restrained. No deity or force can rival that of the Christian God or his authority to support good over evil.

It's early in the month, and for freelancers/agencies, it is time for invoicing. It could be so much fun if it weren't such a hassle each time writing, updating, verifying… until you finally get all the invoices done and out. Valuable time down the drain that could be better invested in other areas of work.
In order to improve this workflow and get rid of all of the pain, we did some research on how to set up invoicing for our agency and found a perfect solution in Zervant which integrates perfectly with our time tracking solution, toggl. In this post, we want to outline our workflow which we believe can help you save time.
Zervant and toggl – an overview
First up, a quick intro into the two tools: Zervant is an invoicing tool that supports you in creating your invoices. Clients and services can be saved to make the generation of future invoices that much easier. Additional features include invoicing templates, the ability to email clients their invoices directly from within the tool and basic dashboard functionality for keeping track of all invoices. The best thing about Zervant, however, is it comes free of charge for most of the essential features you need. How do they earn money, you ask? If you want to mail invoices by post directly from within the tool, you can add this service as a premium feature. Though a premium version exists, we have been satisfied with just the free version.
We use Toggl for time tracking. The tool is very handy as you can predefine customers, projects with hourly rates and it includes the ability to integrate with many external sites. For us, linking Toggl with Asana was a game changer. With this integration, we click on Toggl's bright red button on every Asana to track time spent on our clients' projects. We'll elaborate more on that in a later blog post.
Speeding up the invoicing
If you need a basic guide on how to set up Zervant, here is the link to Zervant's help centre, which is pretty informative. Once you have set up all the essentials, it's time for the magic. First, you need to import all of your customers. In the top navigation menu, you find the menu item "Customers". Clicking on it opens the "customers" page. There you see the option to either manually input your customers or upload a CSV. We were able to quickly import our customers by exporting our clients' information from our CRM and uploading it to Zervant. 50% of the process done.
Next up you have to upload the services you provide. This process is a little less obvious. First, you need to click "My account" in the top right main navigation menu. Then you'll find "Products and services" on the left-hand side. Clicking on it opens the overview of current services and provides you with the opportunity to upload more. Switching to Toggl, after the invoicing month is over, we just quickly export all projects from Toggl to Zervant as seen in the screenshot below. This overview contains the client, the project as well as the hourly rate, which we need for the second step.
The exported csv can be pasted in this sheet, which we generated in order to speed up our invoicing even more. Feel free to make a copy and use it for your use. The sheet combines the projects with the client and adds the unit, usually hours, and the VAT to the row which we need in the last step for the import.
In the final step, we quickly generate a CSV export from the Google sheet and upload it to the products in Zervant. You have to pick the column headers as shown in the screenshot so that Zervant attributes the columns to the correct information.
As soon as you hit import, all the products are available for invoicing from now on. With each client, you can quickly look up any additional services provided and add them easily to the invoice. As we have many recurring monthly items on our invoices we only need to follow this process for new clients or one-off projects. Changing the process to what we've explained in this post has saved us a huge amount of time and hassle. Invoicing has become what it is supposed to be: the gratification for all your hard work written on paper.
So that's it, we hope you'll find this helpful for your invoicing. If you have questions or amendments to the process, let us know. How do you do your invoicing? Have you found other ways to save time? Leave us a comment below. And if you need help with workflow automation, business intelligence or marketing, reach out to us as well. We will be happy to update our Zervant for you!

Decorations: what is supplied at the marriage ceremony and wedding reception?
Ceremony – your wedding ceremony decoration includes our wedding gazebo with sashed curtains, flower decorated wedding arch, a red aisle carpet, ceremonial registry table with satin cloth & valance, satin chair covers and organza ties in a colour of your choosing & confetti. The registry table will have a large flower arrangement in your choice of flowers. Guests will be provided standard aisle seating in front of the wedding gazebo.
Reception – the bridal table will be decorated in satin table covers & skirt, choice of decorations, satin chair covers with organza ties, plus large flower arrangement. The guest tables will have a choice of decorations, every guest chair with satin covers and organza sashes and place-cards for each guest according to a seating plan, if required. Extra lighting options, including: fairy lights, bamboo torches and chinese lanterns available at some venues.
Balloons - some balloon decoration is available however please note that helium filled balloons incur an extra cost and are charged per balloon.
Can we buy extra decorations after we arrive in Turkey?
We suggest that you bring any special decorations with you as we have limited supplies in Turkey. If you are unsure about anything, please ask us before you arrive!
Couples should also think about what season is best for them and their guests. In the height of summer the temperatures can be very high, and early and late in the season there is always the possibility of adverse weather conditions. Although this part of the world seldom sees bad weather during the summer months, on the rare occasions it does rain during the summer, but it doesn't last for long. However, even though we plan everything down to the last detail, some things are beyond even us and we have learnt over the years that it is always important to have a plan B!
What do we do if we want a religious element to our marriage ceremony?
We are respectful of all religions and while a Turkish registrar must still perform the traditional signing of the registry, should you wish, it usually possible to include vows or other aspect of your faith in the ceremony. Just let us know your requirements and we can make the necessary arrangements to include a representative of your religion. This option can be added to any wedding plan.
Can we choose our own hotel accommodation?
Yes - you can book and stay in the hotel of your choice. To make it relaxed and easy for you on your wedding day, we recommend you stay within the Fethiye area - which includes Oludeniz, Ovacik, Hisaronu, Fethiye & Çalış beach. If you need hotel suggestions or distance information of resorts, please let us know!
Can we add or deduct services for our wedding?
We are very aware that your wedding is the most important day in your lives as a couple and, making it unique to you, an occasion blended with your own dreams and desires is essential.
Some couples have their own ideas and we work with them to make these a reality whenever possible but others admit to being rather nervous or daunted about planning such an important event. This is where our unparalleled experience comes to the fore. We can inspire you and help you to design your wedding day to be truly memorable and one of a kind.
Most of our wedding packages offer the flexibility to add or deduct services to suit your needs and budget. During the high season, there is a minimum requirement of 20 guests for the Ceremony & Reception, and 10 guests for Ceremony Only.
Wedding vows? Are they in English of Turkish and can we add some of our own?
There's no need to worry. You will not have to do a crash course in Turkish for your wedding and the wedding vows are relatively short. These are spoken in Turkish by the Registrar and translated into English by one of our staff during the ceremony. You are only required to confirm your consent, in English, at the end of the service and you will be prompted in English.
We also offer you the option of having your own vows, provided reading them takes less than two minutes. The Bride and Groom will read them after the Turkish Registrar has completed the formal wedding ceremony.
On your arrival in Turkey we will explain the order of service, the wedding vows, and what is required of you.
Music: can we choose what we'd like for the ceremony and reception?
We have a selection of popular music on CD available to choose from for your wedding. However you may like to bring your own selection on CDs or iPod for the ceremony, particularly if you have something special in mind (for walking down the aisle and following the ceremony). If you would like us to supply your music and have any requests, please check with us first to make sure it's available! The playlists we offer for your reception are contemporary and classic numbers but if you have any special playlists please feel free to bring them along on CD or iPod. We supply high quality PA and sound systems at both the ceremony and the reception venues and can cater for most iPod systems.
You may decide that you want to have live music. Our musicians are local and professional. They play contemporary and classic numbers and have a diverse repertoire. They will also do their best to cater to any requests that you may have.
Photography and photographers: what choices are available?
Our photographer and videographer arrive at the venue about half an hour prior to the ceremony in preparation for the bride's arrival.
The bride's arrival will be photographed and videoed together with the all-important walk down the aisle and the complete wedding ceremony.
Group photographs will be taken following the ceremony then the bride & groom have a private shoot. This takes approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. The photography & video will continue until approx 10pm (please ensure you request any special moments be photographed – speeches and first dance, etc, before this time).
If you have specific photography requests please make these known prior to the wedding day so we can advise the photographers.
Your photo proofs will be available on the day following the wedding at around noon. You will be able to select 50 photos for your complimentary wedding album and any extra photos that you and your guests may like to order.
What choices are there for the wedding meals?
Gourmet barbecue menus are pre-set while at some venues there is an option for a limited a la carte menu. This gives you the opportunity to choose from a selection of dishes from a full a la carte menu but must be confirmed at least three days before the wedding. Final menu selections will be made on you arrival in Turkey and will be subject to availability and change. It is also important that we are advised of any food allergies and special dietary requirements well in advance of the wedding.
Can we choose what there is to drink and how is it paid for?
Please note that all beverages will be paid for in cash at the time of the wedding directly to the venue (unless you have a beverage package included in your wedding). Prices will be charged at over-the-bar prices at the respective venues and we can provide Beverage Price Lists on request. We do not take any responsibility for outstanding bar bills at any of our wedding venues, so please arrange method of payment prior to your wedding! (We can help with this on your arrival).
Final payment: how and when?
The balance of your package must be paid in full four weeks prior to the wedding date, if paying by Credit or Debit card. Your card details will be taken over the phone for security reasons and please note that card payments are not accepted after arrival into Turkey. The good news is that we also offer the option to pay the balance in cash on arrival, or with traveller's cheques and this avoids the card fee! Please note: all outstanding balances must be settled at your pre-wedding meeting. Any alternative arrangements must be made by prior agreement. When final numbers change or extra services are ordered after final payment has been made, these payments will be finalised at your pre-wedding meeting.
Is there a reduction for children?
0-3yrs FREE (maximum of six toddlers – if there are more then six toddlers the full child price applies)
4-11yrs - 50% of adult price (maximum of six children - if there are more than six children the full adult price applies)
Children of 12 years and above are charged as adults
Is transport included for bridal party, groom and guests?
All our packages include transport on the wedding day for the bridal party. If you require transport* for your guests, please note this will incur an extra cost unless it has been included as part of your package. If you are unsure please check. (*NB: Transport includes to and from the Fethiye resort area - Oludeniz, Ovacik/Hisaronu and Fethiye centre).
Do these FAQs apply to Gulet weddings?
The final numbers for gulet weddings may not exceed 20 people unless by prior arrangement, and final numbers need to be confirmed three weeks before the wedding.
The same as above applies for all other aspects: the gulets are obviously less formal so please tell your guests to bring along casual clothes and swim wear for the afternoon and a little more formal wear for your evening reception meal. Ladies please note - stiletto heels are not permitted on most gulets!
Decoration on the gulet is reasonably limited so if you have any special requests please check with us beforehand.

Timbers We Use
Because New Zealand timbers are so young they are not able to be used for building saunas as they tend to dry out and splinter. Timbers from the Arctic circle are much older and can withstand the high temperatures that Saunas require. We have built Saunas in Larch, Teak, Aspen, Hemlock, Abachi and Yellow Cedar, but mainly use Canadian Red Cedar and Swedish Spruce.
Canadian Red Cedar Characteristics -
It has a unique ability to resist taking on outside odours, but always emits its own unique aroma. Cedar has long been the wood of choice due to its ability to withstand harsh climates and its resistance to decay. It is a dark wood which leans towards a red and gold colouring.
Swedish Spruce Characteristics –
This is a light coloured, fine-grained wood with knots that give it a characteristic look. This wood is traditionally used in Saunas and is lighter in appearance than some other woods. It does not produce much resin and therefore will not darken with time. It is a sound choice if you want quality at a price similar to Cedar.
Aspen Characteristics –
Aspen wood is white and soft which is cool to touch and has low flammability. It is a beautiful elegant timber and used for high end Domestic Sauna. The selected SAWO Aspen does not have any visible knots.

The international organisation Everything Is Possible has already salvaged enough good quality camping equipment at Beacons Festival (Skipton) to cover half of Millenium Square.
Every year thousands of pieces of camping equipment are left behind by festival goers and are collected by the organisation at Leeds Festival. Last weekend, for the first time, they also helped Beacons Festival to keep the festival green. The organisation is joined by 35 young people from Estonia, France, Italy and Poland – all passionate about recycling. They are all ready for a second big salvage after this weekend's Leeds Festival – where they hope to add to their collection.
Clair Brown, co-founder of Everything Is Possible says:
"This first salvage at Beacons Festival has been a big success. At the end there were only 10 broken tents left. And all camping gear benefits organisations that really need it for their activities''
But be reassured: the organisation has no intention to transform the Millenium Square into a big campsite. In fact all tents, sleeping bags, mats and chairs have already been donated to organisations from all around Yorkshire and even Lancashire (Skipton, Bradford, Halifax, Keighley, Harrogate, Leeds, Ilkley, Manchester, York, Southport, Huddersfield and many other cities). Some are working with Scouts, some with the homeless, some with refugees and others with children (including lots of Scout organisations).
Ash Alom, from YnspYre Youth (Keighley) says:
''Our organisation will not have to struggle any more with funding to rent camping equipment. Having our own camping equipment, we will now be able to organise activities for young people, especially those with fewer opportunities, around our area.''
Everything Is Possible is hoping now to salvage enough camping gear to cover the entire Millenium Square or even the Leeds football stadium Elland Road.
This project is supported by the British Council, the European Commission, Beacons Festival and Festival Republic.

". . . For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has
made herself ready." Rev. 19:7
Hovering Indeed!
and Friends, for many
of the Months in the past year we have been focusing on the topic of our
imaginations. We have been looking at
the Place of the Unseen Realm so
let's do a very short review to remind us of just a few of the "highlights"
that we have learned.
Ephesians 6:12 tells us, "For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against
evil rulers and authorities of
the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and
against evil spirits in the heavenly places." We
have addressed that there is a Door that connects one Realm called the
Seen Realm to the Unseen Realm. The
Seen Realm is the Place that you and I and can see, touch, smell, taste and
feel within. It's the Realm to which we
live in. The Unseen Realm is the Place
that is around us AT ALL TIMES; it actually encompasses and covers us. (The word "heavens" is Strong's #3772 which is (ouranos) – the root is . . .
to cover and encompass, the visible
heavens: the atmosphere, the sky, (b)
the spiritual heavens.) Now, the Door that connects the Seen Realm from the Unseen Realm is very
important! What comes OUT of the Door
of the Seen Realm enters into the Realm of the Unseen. This DOOR opens up one Realm to another!
The Bible explains to us where this Door IS! Psalm 141:3 (NIV) tells us, "Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the
door of my lips." So, the DOOR that is
between the Seen Realm and the Unseen Realm is OUR MOUTHS! Each time you speak, your "DOOR" is opening up
from ONE REALM TO ANOTHER REALM and
affecting what is going on in BOTH REALMS! We have written that even our Angels that are assigned to us and live in the Unseen
Realm are affected by what comes out of our DOOR! "Bless
the Lord,
you His angels, You mighty ones who do
His commandments, Obeying the voice of His word!" Psalm 103:20
(AMP) Our assigned Angels do The Word of
God that is spoken and given a voice to. THEY OBEY THE VOICE OF GOD'S WORD! They need YOUR VOICE speaking The Word of
God! Then they obey the voice of
God's Word! So, you and I are the ones
that are being utilized in BOTH Realms, Beloved! You
and I LIVE IN BOTH REALMS AT THE SAME TIME! Amazing, isn't it?

Here is a possible timeline for the emergence of a true space age over the next 20 years.
In 2017 and 2018, we see Spacex complete the development of the Raptor engine and the launch of the Falcon Heavy.
The Raptor has about four times the thrust of a Merlin 1D engine.
Starting in 2020, Bigelow expandable space stations will be launched. The current plan is for two BA 330 station modules to go up in 2020.
Leveraging Robotics will be a very important accelerator in the industrialization of space
Using Spiderfab robotics kilometer or larger structures will be built. This can be used to produce megawatts of power.
Instead of mining the moon with people. Moon Express plans to mine it robotically for water ice for fueling space industry.
By 2027, we can have
* highly efficient and low cost launch with fully reusable rockets
* water ice mining from the moon and other resources from the asteroids
* Robotic and teleoperated construction in orbits, moon and near earth asteroids
* expandable space stations
* construction of large telescope, solar power and other structures
Critical space costs could drop by 100 to 1000 times.
Lower cost reusable launches will greatly lower costs
Water and other resources from the moon will lower costs
Capabilities will ramp up and further lower costs.

Fuden-An: Leaves from a Tea-Journal
All about April [April 2013]
KOBORI Sojitsu (the 13th Grand Master of the Enshu Sado School )
April. The time of year when the flowers begin to blossom is finally upon us.
Getting emotional when watching the cherry blossom blossom and fall to the ground may be a uniquely Japanese feature. This is likely because we associate kindergarten, university and company entrance ceremonies and so on with April.
Recently there seems to be a movement to moving the period of university entrance to September, which will mean April may begin to have a different atmosphere. While this may help to synchronize with other countries, I am very concerned with how Japan can change traditions, culture and national holidays in the name of efficiency.
As spring approaches so does hay fever. I have had symptoms for several years but this year they have been particularly bad. I also suffer from the symptoms during tea ceremony and catch myself sniffling in front of students. Even opening the window does not help with my itchy eyes. My symptoms may appear laughable to those who suffer from heavy symptoms but they are tiresome nonetheless.
In particular, I cannot be seen sniffling or being teary eyed when preparing tea in offering to the gods at shrines and temples and must therefore be extra careful.
Whenever I travel, I always wear a mask but often remove it when speaking to others as I feel it rude not to do so but always come to regret it afterwards as the symptoms appear. I am hoping the hay fever season passes as soon as possible.
March 24th marks the third year since my father's passing. While times seems to have just flown by, it has passed nonetheless. Unfortunately, our memory fades. So I decided a while ago to write a book to remind myself of the things my father taught me in the 55 years we spent together.
I have written a book titled 'My father's back - Kobori Soukei' and it is published by Kadogawa Magazines, released for sale on April 24th. I hope you all have a chance to read it.

Welcome to another episode of Throwback Thursday! This week I am looking back on Chronicles of Narnia.
The Chronicles of Narnia captured my imagination in a way that only Harry Potter had done previously. I had heard of the books before the first movie came out, but I hadn't read them. This was another one of those cases where I watched the first movie before I read the first book. I then read the books, in reading order, before the next movies came out.
I loved C.S. Lewis' imagination and the world that he created in this series. I loved his writing and all the deeper meanings that could be found. I loved all the different characters and watching them all develop.
My favourite book is The Horse and His Boy because I loved the idea of a horse that could talk and have such an amazing bond with his rider. As a horse rider myself, that always called to me and I would always imagine what it would be like to have my horses talk to me.
I always loved the talking animals. My favourites included Mr and Mrs Beaver from the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Reepicheep and, of course, Aslan. I particularly loved Reepicheep because he was so fierce, even though he was so small. I also loved all the magical creatures, such as the centaurs and the dryads. I loved the idea that trees had spirits.
My favourite memory to do with the series was when my mum gave me her box set that she had read when she was a kid. The covers were all warn and some of the books had started to fall apart because she had read them so much, but it just meant so much to me that she would give them to me.
Have you read the Chronicles of Narnia? If you have let me know what you think of them and what your favourite memory of them were in the comments below.

The loan application process is quick and easy and can be completed online in a few minutes. Payday loans can be used by anyone, even if you have a bad credit score
Paydaychampion has short term cash advances that are suitable for people with bad credit. Submit your details into our form and your request will be send to legitimate payday lenders.
The third party lenders will do a quick check on you and if approved you can get your money fast. In general requests are processed the same day or following business day.
When you apply for an online payday loan the direct payday lenders will get your details and then either accept or reject your application. Only successful lenders get to review all your information to everyone else the information is encrypted. This process is very fast and if you are eligible you will get an instant answer.
You can request any loan amount you like between $100 and $1000. With Paydaychampion the application is all done online. You should only request an amount you think you will be able to payday back on your next payday. The interest rate is quite high compared to a bank loan but if repaid quickly the amount is very reasonable over the short term.
The borrowing of any cash requires a soft credit check. This information is looking at basic details like your address, income and previous defaults.
A bank performs a hard credit check which if executed too often can affect your credit score. Payday loans online have a distinct advantage when it comes to protecting your credit score.
Because everything is automated and a wealth of information is already stored online, the lenders can decide almost instantly if your request will be accepted.
The request is the first step. The second step is the payment processing. The speed depends on the lenders back office, staff efficiency and your nominated bank for your online loan.
Cash can be deposited the same if you apply by noon. It could be the following business day if applied for after midday. If you apply on a weekend the cash deposit date should be Monday. You should always allow a couple days leeway.
You should have an email address, a job paying over $1200 a month, a bank account and to have lived at your current address for at least 3 months.
You should contact your lender immediately and ask what the rollover fees are. The lender can work with you to make a new payment plan.
This is a perfectly normal occurrence for borrowers to extend their cash advances. If you are in trouble please try our consolidation loans that can drastically reduce your borrowing costs.
Please note that this is a guideline and is in no way accurate 100%.
We are an aggregator of payday advances. This means we are link between you and the direct lenders. We all work together to find you a suitable online payday loan.
We also have longer term installment loans with longer payments terms.These monthly repayments are meant for higher ticket items that you need.
The interest rates are lower than payday loans. We are an broker for these loans too. If in California the lenders are licenced by Department of Business Oversight pursuant to the CA.
Yes, to qualify for a payday loan you need you add your bank details. The lenders will deposit your cash into your bank account with no intermediaries.
You can use the payday advance for anything you like but please be aware the interest rate clock is ticking. This means you should only use the cash in an emergency like a medical expense or car repair. An online payday loan is not mean for a night out of for general consumption.
Yes you may take multiple loans from multiple lenders and providing you have a history of repaying then there will not be any issues. It is not advisable to take out multiple loans unless you really have to. Short-term advances are only meant for short term financial expenses.
You will not go to jail if you fail to pay you loan. The US constitution protects citizens against jail for debts. Debt collection is not a criminal offense.
It is inadvisable to not repay your debts though as not repaying can end up with all sorts of civil actions, debt collectors and misery. You should always repay your debts if you are able to.
Payday lenders do take borrowers to court but are reluctant to do so because of the cost involved. The decision will be on your outstanding balance, ability to repay. You may wind up in court with a judgement on you.
The only chance of getting a felony charge is if you fraudulently obtained loans in a criminal manner. Not repaying is a civil matter and would be dealt with in this manner.
All PaydayChampion's lenders are legitimate lenders. Each state has it's own criteria and licences for lending. Lenders who are in our network should have a licence.
Rest assured that our encrypted loan software is safe. We protect your data from end to end. The only person who gets your data is the final lender. We know that these sensitive details such as your bank and SS number are.
Previously you could only get a payday loan with a checking account. This was the easiest way to send and receive funds. You still need a savings account in order to get a loan. You need to consider than in this day and age no lender is going to give you cash unless they are a bank or pawnbroker.
If you are looking in google for payday loans near me? You do not need to look anymore. Paydaychampion can assist with your cash needs when you need to apply for cash fast. The real time save is that you do not need to go out the front door to a store. Now that really is a loan near me.
PaydayChampion's process and lenders are all done completely online. This makes it one of the fastest ways to request a payday loan and get cash deposited.
Instead of going to a payday loan storefront location have a look at our rates and see if you can obtain a loan in your state. If you want to apply for a loan now we are ready with our 5 minute request process.
Look at your local laws to see what is available as laws vary per state. An example is California deferred deposit transaction law regulated by the department of business oversight. If you are unable to obtain an online payday loan in your state you can also request an alternative product. The products are installment loans or title loans. Installment loans allow you to get up to $5000.

How are stainless steel bars, bronze bearings and bronze bars used in construction and construction materials today?
Check out this article by the Fabricator to find out:
Architectural firm McBains recently was hired to renovate a dilapidated office building by refreshing the interior and providing a new design for the entrance. It considered using a bronze-colored electroplated and sandblasted stainless steel but was concerned that the electroplated finish would be adversely affected by weather.
Architectural metal fabricator John Desmond Ltd. suggested a PVD-coated stainless that provided the aesthetic appeal of solid bronze without the weight, as well as a 12-year guarantee.
The original specification for the brise soleil fins was for solid stainless steel bar for a substantial look, but the steel would have been very heavy to hang from the canopy, and the fins would have deflected under their own weight. In addition, those steel bronze bars would have had to be clad to achieve the bronze look.
Alex Pashouros, project manager at John Desmond Ltd., suggested fabricating the brise soleil, canopy, and column from PVD-coated, colored stainless steel that was V-grooved and folded to appear as solid material. A current trend is to use wall panels and interior components with new colors and textures. Colored stainless is created with the physical vapor deposition (PVD) process, which creates a thin film available in a variety of colors.
Bronze Parts are used in many areas of construction. Visit https://www.diversifiedbronze.com/ to learn more about the usage of bronze parts.

1. Recovery pump
We recommend the Appion G5 Twin as the cheapest most affordable option for solvent recovery pumps, however we offer a variety of oil-less pumps for solvent recovery which offer greater safety, efficiency, and quiet operation. We also sell Class One Division 1 recovery pumps for certified hydrocarbon recovery.
2. Vacuum pump
Any 5 cfm pump should suffice, however it is considered best practice to use an oil-less pump to avoid contaminating your extract with pump oil. For the larger systems, it is advisable to use at least 6-7 cfm to create a vacuum more quickly.
3. Ice bath
An ice bath is used to chill the recovery tank. Cold temperatures lower the vapor pressure, allowing the solvent to condense more easily. Salt can help lower your temperatures even faster by melting the ice faster and thus absorbing more energy. Alternatively, we now offer coil condensers and heat exchangers for use with more efficiently condensing and recollecting your solvent.
4. Warm water bath
The collection chamber is given a warm water bath. We recommend between 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit. Any temperature above the boiling point of your solvent will work, however if the temperature gets too low the recovery process can take longer.
5. Water heater and thermometer
A heater and thermometer combo is needed to maintain accurate water temperatures.
6. Utility water pump
In order to circulate the water, you will need a water pump. Circulating the water keeps it at an even temperature throughout.
7. Solvent
The higher the purity of your solvent, the better. You may use cans with the included can-tapper, or you can hook the Bhogart system up to a tank of solvent. If your tank requires special fittings, we can provide them upon request. Make sure to distill all and any solvent that you add to the system.
8. Scale
A proper scale is required to measure the weight of your solvent tank. This is often called a "Refrigeration Scale." Such a scale is accurate to the gram and very convenient. It is designed precisely for weighting heavy metal solvent recovery tanks. ALWAYS WEIGH YOUR TANK BEFORE FILLING IT! As we continue to develop additional tank configurations, tank weights may differ and should be tested individually.
9. Botanical plant material
You will need botanical plant material in order to extract. The higher the quality of the input material, the higher the quality of the material you will get out of the extraction.

A hall or hallway is a passage or connecting space between rooms. It can be large and grand or narrow and functional. A hall usually doesn't have much furniture or furnishing. However, it may be used to display pictures or have furniture to support the transition from one space to another, like a coat rack or umbrella stand.
Sometimes a hall is considered a room in the house; sometimes it's just a passage. Other uses of the term hall are a multi-purpose room for gatherings, such as a dance hall or dining hall, or as the name of a building such as Blodgett Hall, for an academic building.

The key to MATCHING isn't necessarily about the clothes.
I wish I could say that from the first moment I saw this WOMAN that I KNEW she was "THE ONE," that I KNEW we were going to be together for the rest of our lives… but that would be a lie (Ex. 20:16 KJVA). But I can say that I was ATTRACTED to her immediately!
You see the KEY to it all is that first word… "CAUSE." AHAYAH (I AM/The Lord/GOD of
Israel) says, "Man's goings are of AHAYAH; how can a man then UNDERSTAND his own
way (Proverbs 20:24 KJVA)?" To "KNOW" is to "UNDERSTAND." I didn't KNOW, but
AHBA (FATHER/AHAYAH/I AM/The Lord/GOD of Israel) did! AHBA said, "Before I
formed thee in the belly, I KNEW thee (Jeremiah 1:5 KJVA)!" "And I will CAUSE you to
pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the COVENANT (Ezekiel 20:37
KJVA)." You see the "rod" is HIS TORAH or what you probably refer to as "The LAW." But
there is NO WORD for "law" in Hebrew. It's "Torah" which means "INSTRUCTION,
GUIDANCE, TEACHING, & DISCIPLINE." And it wasn't until I began to follow HIS
Torah that I was able to find my WIFE! AHBA said, "Pay no heed, therefore, my children
to the beauty of women, nor set your mind on their affairs; but walk in singleness of heart
in the FEAR of AHAYAH (Ecclesiastes 12:13), and expend labour on good WORKS (James
2:19-20), and on STUDY (2 Timothy 2:15) and on your flocks (Jeremiah 23:1-6), until
AHAYAH give you a WIFE, whom HE will, that ye SUFFER NOT
(Testament of RA'AHWABAN/REUBEN 4:1)." As I got to KNOW HIM I was then shown her
and as I got to KNOW her I quickly UNDERSTOOD who she was and why HE placed her
in my LIFE. She is my HELP (Genesis 2:18 KJVA) and my REST (Ezekiel 34:15 KJVA)! Her
physical beauty is only an added bonus (Proverbs 31:30 KJVA)! 😉
And as for that "COVENANT" spoken of earlier: it ultimately means MARRIAGE which is
indeed a COVENANT i.e. "A CHOICE!" AHBA says, "Turn, O backsliding children, saith
AHAYAH; for I am MARRIED unto you (Jeremiah 3:14)!" Well I turned and there she was!
😂 And I literally thank HIM everyday for her. 😶 And all that comes with her! I also
inherited an Israelite Family Starter Pack! 🤣 LA'AH (No). But seriously, I love our 2
beautiful daughters too (Psalm 127:3 KJVA).
We, ISRAELITES, don't do "dating or boyfriend" & "girlfriend (Deuteronomy 23:17
KJVA)." So after a RIGHTEOUS COURTSHIP… I PROPOSED (Hebrews 13:4 KJVA)!
Which is indeed what this post is about… so without further adieu… "The PROPOSAL."
Have you ever been here? E X A C T L Y….
With this weekend's opening of Marvel's Black Panther I am excited 😃 for my people's jubilation for the awe inspiring, positive, visual representation of so called "black people" in a world that constantly feeds us a negative one. But at the same time we must be vigilant. Brothers and sisters… one's STYLE should be a representation of one's HERITAGE, TRADITIONS, & CULTURE and not merely an illustration of one's fantasies.
"A man may be known by his look, and one that hath understanding by his countenance, when thou meetest him. A man's attire, and excessive laughter, and gait, shew what he is." Ecclesiasticus 19:29-30 KJV 1611
'But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: The Lord shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone. And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the Lord shall lead thee. '
Deuteronomy 28:15,36-37 KJV
'Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion. For thus saith the Lord , Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money. For thus saith the Lord God , My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. Now therefore, what have I here, saith the Lord , that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the Lord ; and my name continually every day is blasphemed. Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that IAM he that doth speak: behold, it is I. '
Isaiah 52:1-6 KJV
FINALLY… FINALLY… THE ROCK has come to–nawl I'm just kiddin'! LoL But That's how it feels when an artist completes a project! For more on the details hop over to JPSKILLZ.com! And as for my style well… Oliver Queen ain't got NOTHIN' on me! 😉

'Fish are born, they grow, they reproduce and they die – whether from natural causes or from fishing. That's it. Modelers just use complicated (or not so complicated) math to iron out the details.' Andrew B. Cooper.
Whilst there are many technicalities along the way, the overall purpose of the International Bottom Trawl Survey is fairly straightforward: to work out the relative abundance* and distribution of the commercial heavyweights here: saithe, cod, haddock, whiting, Norway pout, herring, mackerel and sprat. Most of these live near the bottom of the sea (that's 'demersal' in marine biology) whilst others – herring, mackerel and sprat – shoal in the open water (called 'pelagic'). That naturally poses challenges for data collection, and there will be a blog covering the differences another day.
Once sorted, these fish listed above have various attributes recorded (more on that process later) before resulting data is channelled and ends up as information, maps and graphs that tell us where the various species are spread and the relative number of each per hour trawled. For the latter, this is categorised both by species and then by what's known as year class. So, although it's not written here, the graph underneath is for year class 1 of haddock: or haddock that is somewhere between its first and second birthday.
The vague dotted line cutting horizontally just short of 500 on the y-axis is the mean.
This if for haddock across the whole survey region; before that, an abundance index is produced for haddock per ICES statistical rectangle. There would also be separate graphs for haddock at various other ages as well as for other species.
All this is of course contingent on scientists knowing how old or young a given fish is, something also discovered in the wet laboratories of the Johan Hjort.
Species distribution is also an objective. Here's a map of the cod pulled from the water on the part of this year's survey that took place before I boarded the boat.
Alongside the finned creatures, distribution and relative abundance will also be monitored for selected crustaceans – such as the Norway lobster and spider crab. Also, biological parameters and hydrographical and environmental information will be observed at the different sampling points.
This is a summary so small it can barely be called a nutshell (more like a fish egg membrane), but it's the gist. Hopefully more of a detailed picture will develop as we go.
*As opposed to absolute abundance, the actual number of individuals in a population, relative abundance is the number of one fish species in a certain area (ICES rectangles) as a percentage of the total fish caught in that same area. This means that the same species can be compared in two different areas.

As the open source community continues to clamor for more companies to open source their code, more and more executives are asking themselves just what open source can do for their company. There are a number of ways for a company to open source an internal project: from tossing code over the wall on the one hand to running a fully open development project on the other to any combination of the two.
This talk will discuss the costs and benefits associated with each method as well as how to successfully launch your new open source project. [SUGGEST A ARTICLE]
