Since the Civil Rights era, many communities with which I affiliate have been "looking for the next King." In some ways, this sentiment is a direct reference to the legendary leadership of Martin Luther King, Jr., recently commemorated in the
memorial on the National Mall
. It's also a reference to a desire for singular charismatic leadership to lead people in effecting social change. I'm not sure whether this thirst is generational, cultural, political, or social, but it seems to be fairly widespread. Many people can name the last great leader who was able to lead change that benefited a particular constituency. Those same people can also articulate how we need another such leader.
Nevertheless, there have been those who have articulated a different vision. I like the words of
June Jordan
's 1980 "Poem for South African Women": "We are the ones we've been waiting for."
While these words have been quoted many times by well-known politicians and local community leaders, I've seen them most embodied in the recent Occupy protests around the world. People in major cities have finally decided to stop waiting for a singular charismatic leader. They have decided that they can help themselves, speak for themselves, protest on their own behalf, and express their wants and needs.
It's also rather notable that this was organized largely through social media. People found each other through social media, blogs, and websites and organized themselves. These desires to create change in government, economics, and social structure have not resulted from listening to and following one person, nor has it trickled down from a "higher" source. Rather, like a
, leadership emerged horizontally, with no identifiable source, branching out into various directions simultaneously.
I can't help but to wonder what it would mean if people approached church in the same manner. A quick search of
on Twitter is fairly discouraging. While some Tweets use the hashtag to refer to the role of religious leaders in the Occupy protests, its more common use simply refers to going to or being in church.
I don't think the question is about whether or not Christians need to create a revolution in the church when there isn't a need for one. I think there's always a need for reform, and there are enough people who feel unheard, disempowered, embattled, or outright ousted from Christian communities to declare that reform could be beneficial.
Unfortunately, Christians can also fall into the trap of waiting for the right bishop to get elected or the right pastor to lead. We too can "wait for the next King" who will help shape our faith communities in ever more liberative ways. (1 Samuel records something very similar occurring in ancient Israel.)
But what if we didn't? What if we occupied the church? Where are power and resources being consolidated in churches? Who are the 99 percent in our churches? Which of their needs are being neglected? Where would people occupy? What would be the content of the teach-ins? And would the designated leaders of the church also try to find a way to subvert, diminish, or relocate the protestors?
If we used the hashtag #occupychurch with the same revolutionary fervor as the Occupy movements, what would we doing?
Here's my first Tweet:
Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me #the99% #occupychurch
What would you Tweet?

when you say: "I can't help but to wonder what it would mean if people approached church in the same manner. A quick search of #occupychurch on Twitter is fairly discouraging.

I totally am with you. I think that now, that is the case mainly on Sundays. But the rest of the week, there is more of what you are looking for, usually tweets by @glassdimlyfaith who has a position with The Quixote Center with an initiative called "Crabgrass Christians", which is aimed at getting the church more involved with Occupy and Occupy issues. His name is Jeremy John, and you can hear him on a video I shot of a panel talking about Occupy at an art exhibit in DC in April. I also run a blog site called occupytheology (http://occupytheology.org) where I am aggregating articles and media I find who are thinking theologically about Occupy.
Keep up the good work! I read entries on this project all the time!

Santa Madre success
The final of The Laucke Mills Pace opened the programme on Sunday afternoon, during the Port Pirie Club's third Sunday twilight meeting. Santa Madre, a four-year-old mare trained by Les Harding and driven by Danielle Hill looked the favourite and started as favorite in the 1609 metre race.
She had drawn barrier one and with the desire and liking the chance to lead, it was no surprise when she led out. With a lap to travel she still held the lead with High Class Lady sitting right up on her shoulder. Canelliesparkle Sparkle sat tucked in behind the leader, ready for a quick run down the sprint lane. She Envy, who likes to find a sit during a race was in a position to go three wide whenever it had been driver, Jayden Brewin's, choice to go.
Into the straight and Santa Madre's driver took a peek over her shoulder and the mare bowled away. Canelliesparkle had been in the prime position, broke and fell to the rear of the field. Her driver, Dale Afford had been reprimanded for lack of control. Santa Madre crossed the line first with High Class Lady second and She Envy, third. Carbon Crest after getting away from the mobile well, was placed back in the mobile draw. This race had seen Badelaide scratched, but she is OK and will be back on the track before we know it. Drawing gate six, outside of the front row, Glenrae Hanover was favourite to take out the second race on the card, he Risdon Hotel Sprint Lane Pace.
This was again a 1609 metre race and for R1 and R2 horse. As Apache Gold had been a bit frisky in the prelim and in scoring up, it was thought that he may take the lead. However, it had been Rhyflecite who got away well and held the lead. To the bell and Glenrae Hanover had shot around them, three wide, to take the breeze on the outside of Rhyflective. Into the back straight and Batman Bart, from the rear, had pulled out to take on the field three wide, off the track. Rhyflective still led into the home straight, but it was Glenrae Hanover who mowed the leader down and finished a head in front. Valstrepo had charged home to take third place.
Thats Macs Girl, sounded like a sentimental favourite in the Hopkins Saddlery Pace, and so that was where my flutter lay. When the green light went on it had been Wells Crest who had galloped and landed itself at least twenty metres from the leader, That's Macs Girl. My hope had been high. Zakharova had found itself falling fast through the field and was unable to hold a place. One had to wonder if something was wrong with the mare and as the Steward's Report showed, there had been some sulky contact. At the bell, Riverboy Denzel, the one hundred and sixteen to one shot, left the safety of his one, one seat to tackle the leader, still Thats Macs Girl. Driver, Brenton Loizeau had tried hard to keep her in that sit but she had lost her steam and was falling through the field. Mostly Spirit tackled Riverboy Denzel and went on to win by 10 metres. The Quick Shadow, the race favourite found something at the last and just finished second over Riverboy Denzel. Zakharova, after a hot and cold race, finished a comfortable fourth.
The fast class event of the evening was "Follow The Stars" Pace, a 2050 metre race for C3to C6 horses. Favourite for the race had been Mymatethomo, and after his exceptional form this was not a surprise. Starlight Rainbow started well but it was Big Behemoth who crossed across to take the lead. My Matethomo was three back on the inside. Alldaybliss, on the tail of his good win last week took his place up on the outside of the leader. At the siren the speed was less than fast and Big Behenoth was strolling along nicely in the lead. With the field was tightly packed as they raced down the back straight, Mondo Sports found an opportunity to pull three wide and make up some ground. Starlight Rainbow was sitting in behind Big Behemoth, waiting for the sprint lane, with My Matethomo in behind her, with nowhere to go. Into the straight and Starlightrainbow got her run down the inside, to narrowly take the win over Big behemoth, followed by Alldaybliss. Although My Matethomo had followed the winner through on the sprint lane, it had been too late for him and he had finished fourth.
All horses scored up well in the Henry Osborne Fodder Store Pace, the fifth event of the evening. Celestial Daybreak, with a burst of early speed took to the front position. Hez Declan from the fourth barrier soon found himself sitting on the outside of the leader with Poppy Had Courage at the back of the field. But not for long. Driver, Ken Rogers, took the Courage Under Fire horse three wide around the field and sat taking the breeze on the outside of Celestial Daybreak, who at this stage had had enough. Down the straight towars the post and it had been Poppy Had Courage who was tiring and Go Tango coming fast on the outside, A Judge's decision gave the race to Poppy Had Courage with Barney Fella in third position. The two favourites, Eyre Space and My Valaroso finished seventh and ninth respectively.
Willie Hays, in his second start, after a great run last meeting, running second, started as favourite. Four hundred metres longer than his last run, this race could prove to be his undoing. Adrian had taken the lead, having been hurried along to keep her spot at the front in front of Reactabelle. But Willie Hays from gate four charged three wide, looking to take the breeze on the outside of Adrian. However, his run was strong and he went on to take the lead by five metres. Masonjon, not content to sit at the rear took on the filed also three wide, finding himself in the second spot at the siren.Past the bell and Rodney Clarke looked most comfortable in Willie Hays' seat, leading the field, with Reactabelle on a tight rein in behind him. At this stage Adrian dropped from the field, later being examined by the vet and stood down for one trial. At the bottom turn in to the straight for the last time and The Deal had taken the lead. Was Willie Hays spent? No, Willie Hays fought back, but not quite enough to finish of The Deal. The Deal went on to win comfortably, with his ears pricked.
And so we come to the last race of the evening, The Equissage Pace a race for R6 horses or better, over 2050 metres. The favourite in this last race had been the gelding from Gawler, Perfect Mach. Reva had held back a little at the start but was soon taking the lead position and fought to keep it over the challenging Regal Knight. Cheersbigears was determined to get his look in and took to the field, three wide. But it had been Regal Knight who had taken to the breeze and taken Reva on for the lead. Cheersbigears dropped off through the field towards the back positions. At the bell and through to the back straight, the front runners had been Reva and Regal Might with the big moves coming from Prince of Zanzibar, three wide with Perfect Mach following him through. Regal Might suddenly called it a day with Quadentate coming through to race alongside Reva. Reva had looked like she was tiring but found a last burst of courage, just not enough to catch Quadentate at the line. Great to see Mostyn Clinton in with a win. Perfect Mach ran in third.
Another good night's racing. Sunday night twilight meetings are a trial but so far so good. Many different faces on a Sunday evening, which is great. Come along and have a look. The next meeting is the Driver's Invitation Meeting, one of the best meetings on this year's calendar. Interstate drivers take on the locals. More next week on this.
See you at the track!

The Wishbone offense is a person of the least difficult formations to acknowledge… the V-formed alignment of operating backs stacked behind the QB, and ordinarily a balanced offensive line was highly preferred at both of those the Significant Faculty and Collegiate levels during the 70's and 80's. It is quick to instruct, exceptionally flexible, and with the appropriate coaching – can be a dominating offense at the youth leisure amount.
Critical explanations to take into account the Wishbone offense incorporate:
• Easy to understand and set up – for both of those gamers AND coaches!
• Just one most important formation – gamers are pretty much usually in the exact same place
• Ability at the stage of attack – considerably like the double wing and single wing
• Excellent for mis-way – a lot of shifting bodies in the backfield confuse younger defenders!
• Well balanced offense – no true "sturdy" or "weak" side except if you Decide on to have a person!
• Versatile – for both of those electricity operating, pace operating, and a great passing game.
• Tricky for youth to defend… they have to protect the entire subject from sideline to sideline!
• Excellent for spreading the carries among a number of backs…
• Will not need celebrity talent… it won't hurt, but not completely essential
• Promotes precision – There isn't a ton of confusion for the offense to deal with… the linemen do pretty much the exact same matter on each individual play… so they can emphasis on pounding the defense… the backs just have to comply with the path of the enjoy!
Offensive Philosophy: Many coaches who go to my football classes are under 2 major misunderstandings
one) the Wishbone calls for the ability for the QB to "read" the protection though the enjoy is underway,]
2) there is a whole lot of very last second-pitch function that goes on, which can direct to fumbles.
Neither is the case. Usually the only alternative we even enable our QB to make is on the dive by itself… if he sees it is open up, he can elect to enable the FB to choose the ball If not, he is to full the fake, and then transform upfield as promptly as doable. Whilst we do have the backside RB path as if awaiting a pitch, at youthful grades and with much less skilled QB's, this is simply a ruse to attract a LB out wide to build a better lane for the QB to transform up subject.
Once a QB reveals us in practice that he can pitch the ball reliably, then we Make it possible for it, but do it by Calling the pitch… for illustration, when we get in touch with the Base 42 – QB sixteen alternative, the QB does NOT have instruction to pitch the ball – he is the declared runner. If we get in touch with Base 42 – HB 28 Pitch, then he is instructed that immediately after the FB fake, he is to choose a person additional action to dedicate the DE, and then he Ought to pitch theball.
We don't power a read… we power execution.
In this article is how the BASE enjoy operates (revealed run to the appropriate):
Of study course, the Base enjoy signifies only the most very simple of plays to run in the Bone. Ability Sweeps, Reverse
Whilst the foundation dive enjoy is the coronary heart of the offense, we also run a great deal of other plays, this sort of as Toss, Potential customers, Fast Pitch, Lure, Blast, and the homerun "Counter Cross Buck". These plays are all standard fare.
Harmony: Except if you elect to put a WR to a person side or the other (we normally do!), the offense seems to be entirely balanced to the defenders, creating it difficult to important on "still left or appropriate" tendencies which are likely to dominate formations like the Wing T, Professional Set, and the newly preferred Distribute offense. In people formations, there is a visible side where there are additional gamers, so the defenders can align to offset this…Not so with the Wishbone – there is no "sturdy or weak" side of the formation.
To Go or Not to Go: Thanks to the significant tendency of opposing groups to think the Bone is a run-only formation, it is pretty very simple to make the dive fake, and have the QB fall again a person action and hit the TE over the middle, where the extremely nervous LB's vacate to quit the run. Likewise, screens and slants also function pretty well, and the HB move is a wonderful "pink zone" enjoy. The Flood is also quick to execute, as is the TE drag route and the bootleg move. Our groups-even at the youngest ages-toss at minimum four-five passes for every game, and as our gamers get more mature and additional comfortable with they technique, we will normally toss eight-10 passes for every game.
Blocking This is the location where the Bone truly shines. Due to the fact the Centre and Guards ordinarily double-workforce block, you can use lesser sized gamers listed here, and reserve your strength gamers for Deal with and Tight Finishes. It won't choose a whole lot of massive dominating linemen, nor is there a wonderful require for understanding complex blocking techniques. Begin of with drive blocking and you can execute ninety% of the offense from that skill by yourself – even with no dominating electricity. Of study course,obtaining massive sturdy boys in the trench under no circumstances hurts, possibly – but the at any time-ellusive massive sturdy child that can also run like a deer is completely better suited for Tight End – and you only require a person of people.
Summary: If you are a mentor on the lookout for a new offense, or a new mentor on the lookout for a technique that you can set up promptly and create on for several years, the Wishbone is a wonderful choice. It allows for a number of operating backs to share the load, and presents mind-boggling complexity for the defenders to figure out… even with no a single read or pitch!

My Movie Schedule
Since we have no Scream channel in Canada anymore, and virtually no horror movies playing this week, I've come up with my own movie schedule. I've created a theme for every day of the week related to Halloween. Since I have to work, I will probably only have time to watch two movies a day. Except today and Saturday, when I will watch at least five movies. I probably won't review all of them this week, but I will eventually. I left Wednesday blank because I haven't decided what to watch yet.
Haunted House Sunday
I just bought all of these DVDs and really want to see them, which is why I included them. I've seen bits and pieces of them when I was younger but I barely remember. I might watch the original and the remake if I have time, but I've seen both films quite a few times so it's not a big deal if I don't.
Amityville II: The Possession - I heard that this one is the best of the series.
Amityville 3-D - This one features Meg Ryan.
Amityville 4: The Evil Escapes - The ghosts from the Amityville house haunt a lamp!
Amityville: It's About Time - This time a clock!
Amityville: The Next Generation - And now a mirror!
Candy Monday
I'm kind of cheating here because Candyman doesn't have anything to do with candy, I just like to watch Candyman every year for Halloween. But candy is the foundation of Halloween and I thought I should include it somehow. Trick 'r Treat had a creepy scene involving candy, if you're looking for one. I would've included Candyman 3: Day of the Dead, but I couldn't find it at any stores.
Candyman - One of my favourite horror movies.
Candyman 2: Farewell to the Flesh - From what I remember this was an okay follow-up. And it stars Kelly Rowan (from The O.C.)!
Creepy Crawly Tuesday
I'm buying Night of the Creeps when it's FINALLY released to DVD on Tuesday and I'm going to watch it immediately. So I came up with Creepy Crawly Tuesday to go with it.
Night of the Creeps - This is one of the best horror movies I've ever seen.
Creepshow - I chose this one for my favourite segment, They're Creeping Up On You! And the name is fitting too.
Creepers - Also known as Phenomena, this Dario Argento film stars Jennifer Connelly as a girl who loves bugs.
Pumpkin Thursday
Nothing says Halloween more than a pumpkin. These films were the only ones I could think of that had anything to do with pumpkins.
Pumpkinhead - Pretty creepy film.
Halloween III - I chose this one for the jack-o'-lantern masks. I wanted to watch this Halloween film on a different day from the others because it has nothing to do with Michael Myers but is pretty creepy when you don't associate it with the Halloween series.
Devil's Night (Friday)
For Devil's Night, instead of egging houses, I'm going to stay at home and watch movies featuring the Devil (or demons).
Satan's Little Helper - Awesome film about a kid who helps Satan to kill people on Halloween.
Night of the Demons - Teens have a party at an abandoned funeral home on Halloween. Fun flick.
Halloween (Saturday)
Instead of dressing up or going to a party, I'm just going to stay at home and watch horror movies while eating candy (I'm boring, I know).
Ernest Scared Stupid - This movie terrified me as a kid. Now it makes me laugh.
Halloween - I don't really need to explain this one.
Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers - This is the only Halloween film I haven't seen and I just bought the DVD. It stars Paul Rudd!
Halloween: H20 - I love this movie. It stars Josh Hartnett!
I will probably watch more movies than that on Halloween, but I'll just choose whatever I feel like watching that night.

Amazing Lizards.
All the images on his site are of real & live lizards & there is no 'photoshop' work involved.
Its a real & live one possing for the camera.
Millions are amazed by lizards & the key to their charm may be their color.
These images were taken when Henry was making some minor adjustments at the coffee shop.
One Fine Morning... In The Awesome Hollywood Hills of America, October 13, 2007...
Healthy pampered pet lizards, calm and willing to be photographed, and NO "Photoshop" work in this photo. Three real, live lizards, up in the Hollywood Hills, photo by Henry.
This is interesting, these lizards takes a shower, every morning and night before bed.
This is the work of male iguana. So we believe you are getting a much wider picture with this image. If you are thinking for going in for iguana as a pet, then better go for a dog or a cat as its much easy to handle.
Thinking About Getting An Iguana? Better Think Twice and Know This About Iguanas As PetsMeet The Lizards.
You might consider a different lizard as a pet, instead of an iguana, lizards such as "bearded dragons" or various types of skinks may be better pets. Iguanas can reach a size and weight (10 to 20 pounds) that becomes difficult to handle and house for some people.
Here you have tonnes of photos, essays & product details by Henry: Link.

The Duke of Metal takes a "Leap of Faith" with his latest band
Walking With Kings' opening track "Mention of Your Name" rocks right from the very first riff, then goes into more of a laid-back pop groove. The chorus is catchy, yet inspirational, and I can't help but think of Jon Bon Jovi when I listen to Terry Chism sing. His vocals are crisp and clear, especially during the spirited "Hallelujah" part of in the song's bridge.
The second track, "Here I Stand", is quite a bit heavier and faster than the first. It prominently features keyboards, and the synth sound makes me imagine bombastic strobe lights. "Here I Stand" contains some muffled vocal effects, but there are some killer crystal clear notes that Terry Chism holds out--especially during the last part of the song. "Leap of Faith", the first single the band promoted with a video online, has a bluesy rock intro riff courtesy of Rich Ward and contains a wide vocal range from Terry Chism. What I really like about this song is how the "ballady" Dennis DeYoung type vocals contrast with the hard rock guitar instrumental, and not to mention the rapid drumming from Frank Fontsere. "Leap of Faith"--which is about taking chances to change for the better--is hugely inspirational, and the extensive "na-na-na's" make it so much fun.
"Autumn Brings" is definitely a divergence from the upbeat track "Leap of Faith" that comes before it. It begins with an operatic sounding choir that features a low, looming voice that subtly infiltrates the rest of the song. Instrumentally, the low, heavy guitar tone from The Duke complements the keyboards very well. "Autumn Brings" has a dark and ominous feel that isn't present on the rest of Walking With Kings, but it is inspiring nevertheless.
There are two VERY different renditions of the song "Home" on Walking With Kings. Both have the same lyrical content about being small and humble compared to the enormous love offered by Jesus Christ. The title "Home" itself refers to Heaven--and having to spend a long time on Earth before getting there to experience its peace.
The electric version of "Home" is very much an upbeat, guitar-heavy rock song like "Mention of Your Name" and "Leap of Faith." The vocals are often big and theatrical (more so toward the end), which I really enjoy. Also, the backing vocals sound really cool as the word "home" is sung.
The other version of "Home"--which is the "unplugged" version--is the last track on the album. It boasts only a piano and vocals, with a subtle orchestral string arrangement hiding in the background. This song is truly beautiful and stunning, and it is a deep and emotional finish to such a lively album.
As a long time fan, I was pleasantly surprised when I found out Rich Ward was taking part in a Christian music project. Oftentimes rock 'n' roll and Christianity are at odds, but the band Walking With Kings really beats those odds. Never once while listening to this album did I ever get that "You're going to Hell because you listen to Slayer" vibe. Walking With Kings' debut album is filled with some solid rock songs that are exceptionally inspiring without being preachy or sanctimonious. I highly recommend it to rock fans who want some honest, spiritually uplifting music with a hard rock edge.

Brussels, 21 April 2016 – The European Steel Association (EUROFER) today held the sixth European Steel Day. The theme of this year's event was "Building a Future as Strong as Steel", which captured the strategic importance of steel to the EU economy. This event coincides with EUROFER's 40th anniversary and was an opportunity for the European steel industry to highlight its priority challenges.
Speaking just ahead of the 2016 European Steel Day, EUROFER President Geert Van Poelvoorde said, "Our top priorities are: dealing with global overcapacity – particularly in China; the modernisation of Europe's Trade Defence Instruments (TDI); No granting of Market Economy Status (MES) to China until the country meets the EU's market economy criteria, an effective and pro-competitive revision of the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and the creation of a circular economy in Europe that accounts for the permanent and 100% recyclable properties of steel".
Mr Van Poelvoorde's comments came just days after an Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) symposium on excess capacity and structural adjustment in the steel sector that EUROFER attended. This OECD meeting ended inconclusively earlier in the week with a lack of agreement on a global approach to reducing overcapacity.
"Excess steelmaking capacity is one of the greatest challenges of our time", said Mr Van Poelvoorde. "Global excess capacity is presently in the order of 700 million tonnes; about 400 million of this is in China. The country's leaders must face the reality that their excess capacity is damaging the global industry's prospects and is triggering the rollout of tit-for-tat anti-dumping measures across the world."
"European steel is globally competitive when faced with a fair market. In the presently distorted market, we call on European policy makers to do more to quickly and effectively defend their strategic steel industry", emphasised Mr Van Poelvoorde. "However, we also remind our Chinese counterparts: accountable as they are for the world's greatest and fastest widening gap between domestic demand and supply, that it is their responsibility to commit to meaningful net capacity reductions and ensure that state intervention in their steel sector is put to an end."
"The situation is very serious," concluded Mr Van Poelvoorde. "All countries' steel industries are facing real challenges today. What we need is a real commitment on overcapacity from all international governments, who each have an interest in the sustainability and viability of their steel sectors."
Charles de Lusignan, Communications Manager, +32 2 738 79 35, (firstname.lastname@example.com)
EUROFER is located in Brussels and was founded in 1976. It represents the entirety of steel production in the European Union. EUROFER members are steel companies and national steel federations throughout the EU. The major steel companies and national steel federations in Switzerland and Turkey are associate members.
The European steel industry is a world leader in innovation and environmental sustainability. It has a turnover of around €170 billion and directly employs 320,000 highly-skilled people, producing on average 170 million tonnes of steel per year. More than 500 steel production sites across 24 EU Member States provide direct and indirect employment to millions more European citizens. Closely integrated with Europe's manufacturing and construction industries, steel is the backbone for development, growth and employment in Europe.
Steel is the most versatile industrial material in the world. The thousands of different grades and types of steel developed by the industry make the modern world possible. Steel is 100% recyclable and therefore is a fundamental part of the circular economy. As a basic engineering material, steel is also an essential factor in the development and deployment of innovative, CO2-mitigating technologies, improving resource efficiency and fostering sustainable development in Europe.
A recording of the press conference is available on this event page.

On Wednesday night, the seeds came out for the 61st annual Bergen County Jamboree tournament. Pascack Valley, which is 8-6 thus far this season, was ranked 9th out of 23 teams in the tournament by the Jamboree committee. Since the Indians are ranked in the Top 9, they will receive a first round bye in the tournament, and will playing it's first game in the Round of 16.
Since Valley's winning percent is not above .650, they did not earn an automatic bid, but they were able to secure an at-large bid. The Indians were one of five teams to receive an at-large invitation from the Big North Conference.
First Round action begins this weekend, as the teams not ranked in the top 9 will vie for a spot in the Round of 16. As a result, the Indians will not make their first tournament appearance until Sunday, February 5, when they will take on the eighth seeded Hackensack at 1:30 p.m. in Tenafly. For the complete schedule of the Jamboree tournament, click here. For a complete list of teams and their seeds, click here.
Last year, Pascack Valley was the 13 seed in the tournament, and played Mahwah in the first round. After defeating Mahwah 50-35, the Indians lost to St. Joseph, 77-64 in the Round of 16.

Big Win for the PV Boys Team
The boy's team had a big victory over Ramapo last night at Ramapo. Coming off the win in double over time against DePaul, they came into Tuesday night with some momentum. The final score was PV 55, Ramapo 48. Vasel contributed four three-pointers and finished the night with 19 points. Star point gaurd Legend Dominguez dropped 11 points in the win.
The Indians hope to continue this winning streak tomorrow night against Northern Highlands at Pascack Valley, which is going to start a four game home stand.
-Bobby Saul
Pascack Valley's starting point guard Legend Dominguez announced via Instagram today that he's committed to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) for basketball.
Check back later this week for the full story.
At the beginning of the week, things were not looking good for the Pascack Valley boys' basketball team. The Indians were 1-5 on the season, and were on a three-game loosing streak. Teams often talk about "turning points" in a season, and this past week was definitely a turning point for the Indians. After a 55-48 upset win against Ridgewood, Valley came into this weekend with some momentum, looking to make up ground.
On Friday night, the Indians handed Tenafly their first road loss of the season, defeating the Tigers 57-47. Alex Lin had a huge performance for PV, scoring 25 points, including 2 three-pointers. The only other Indian who reached double-digits in points was Matt Domville, who registered 16 points.
However, Valley couldn't rest on their laurels for too long, as they had a short turnaround, playing the next afternoon against DePaul in the Public vs. Private Challenge at Dwight Morrow High School. Pascack Valley, who is unranked in the Bergen Record Top 25, came into the game as a clear underdog, facing off with DePaul, who is ranked eighth.
The Indians managed to keep the game close throughout the first half, and led by one point at halftime. However, DePaul came out strong in the third quarter, doubling their first half point total, to take a 46-37 lead. The Indians were not deterred by their lackluster third quarter, producing their highest scoring quarter of the season in the fourth quarter.
Tied at 62 at the end of regulation, Valley headed to overtime for the third time this season. Overtime had not treated PV very well in the past, as they dropped both of their overtime contests. This time, on the other hand, the Indians would emerge victorious. After the came was still knotted at the end of the first overtime, Valley managed to pull away in the second overtime, upsetting DePaul 82-75.
Alex Lin followed up his 25 point performance on Friday by dropping 26 points, including five three-pointers on Saturday. Matt Vasel led the way with a season-high 31 points and 6 three-pointers en route to victory, while Legend Dominguez contributed 17 points. For more game stats and a complete box score, click here. The Bergen Record had a reporter at the game. Click here for their coverage.

PV Welcomes Tenafly Today
For the four time this season, the Pascack Valley boys' basketball team will play on its home court, when they welcome Tenafly on tonight at 7 p.m. The Indians (2-5) are coming off of their second win of the season on Tuesday, when they beat Ridgewood 55-48. Meanwhile, the Tenafly Tigers (6-3) are on a two-game win streak after back-to-back victories against Lodi and Paramus Catholic. The Tigers are clearly comfortable playing on the road, as they have won all three of their road games this season.
The Tigers clearly have a potent offense and a stingy defense, as five of their six wins have come by double-digits.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Pascack Valley Boys Basketball Team was able to record their second win of the season against Ridgewood. Facing a tough opponent in Ridgewood, the Indians were able to jump out to a 33-15 lead at halftime. Ridgewood came storming back in the third quarter, outscoring the Indians 21-9, but it was too little, too late for the Maroons, as the Indians were able to hold on to win 55-48.
Alex Lin led the way with 25 points, including two, three pointers, as Valley improved to 2-5 on the season. Matt Vasel contributed 11 points, while Legend Dominguez scored 10 points. They both had two, three point shots. Gabe Millstein scored 14 points, including four three pointers in a losing effort for the Maroons.
This victory is somewhat of an upset for the Indians, as Ridgewood entered the game at 5-2 on a five game winning streak. Meanwhile, PV had lost three game in a row.
Pascack Valley will take try to defend their home court, when they host Tenafly on Friday at 7:00 p.m. The Tigers enter play at 6-3.

Agricultural Economics Department
Date of this Version
Published in Cornhusker Economics, 06/30/2004. Produced by the Cooperative Extension, Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Department of Agricultural Economics, University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
A recent survey of cow-calf producers in thirtyseven Western Nebraska counties inquired about cowcalf management practices and demographic characteristics of the respondents. Usable questionnaires were returned by 315 producers. Respondents categorized themselves as living either in the Panhandle (PH), Southwest (SW), Sandhills (SH) or 'CKB' areas of Western Nebraska. The 'CKB' area included producers who lived in Custer, Keya Paha or Boyd counties. For some questions the responses from some areas were too few to report separately, so areas were aggregated for reporting purposes. The survey sample was stratified by herd size measured as number of beef cows. The Nebraska Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) drew the random sample and mailed the questionnaires.

Title 1
What is Title I?
Title I is a federally funded program meant to provide resources to schools to ensure that all students have a fair, equitable, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and close educational achievement gaps. Funds are based on census poverty rates from ages 5 through 17; eligibility is based on state statutory formulas. Title I programs work to address the needs of Colorado's lowest performing students and those at risk for not meeting end of year grade level expectations.
Skyway operates a "Schoolwide" program because of our high numbers of at-risk students and a poverty rate above 40%. We can implement a schoolwide program to our entire school, not just for those students considered "at-risk".
Skyway Title I Staff Recognized by the Colorado Department of Education
We are happy to announce that Amy Babcock and Clare Prystup have been recognized for their efforts to strengthen literacy connections between home and school through "The Book Zone".
Read the article published by CDE here.
How does Skyway spend their Title I allocation?
Every summer the building principal collaborates with district-level administrators on student needs, based on achievement data. District Title I funds are shared between Skyway Elementary and Vanguard Charter School, based on free/reduced lunch rates. Our current allocation of $126,000 is spent on 2 full-time positions, parent involvement activities, student literacy and mathematics resources, and Leader In Me teacher training.
What can a Title I school do for parents? Students? Our community?
Title I schools are required to include a parent engagement component to their school improvement plan. Each year, parents are invited to attend a "Title I Meet & Greet" to familiarize themselves with our teaching staff and what strategies are most effective when working with students on math and literacy skills. Ongoing communication is sent home with students, highlighting strategies to strengthen home-school connections. In December, families are invited for a special luncheon to share our appreciation of continued support and celebrate the parents in our students' lives. The continuous school improvement efforts required of a Title I school not only play a positive role in students' lives, but strengthen community connections as well. Students are developed as educational ambassadors for our school and experience how our school's success impacts our positive contribution to the stakeholders around us. Multiple community members connect with students as guest speakers for students, encouraging hard work, a focus on academics, and goal setting.

Any recommendations on a good product photographer, who is an expert in Amazon photos? Looking at Fivvr and there are so many, didn't know if anyone has a go to person who is reasonably priced and quick turn around.
- victoryisours asked 3 years ago
I love the work Aarti does for our Amazon products. She is the photographer at EtherArts Photography & Graphics. It is located in Alpharetta, GA. The quality of images is great and our products are showcased very well with the zoom in feature of Amazon. Her Pricing is extremely reasonable, almost 50% lower than many photographers. The infographics we received were classic and describes our product so well. We usually do some images superimpositions on Models and they look awesome! Best part is that she delivers on time and the communication through emails is timely.
- Hailey.B answered 3 years ago
I highly recommend Wright Product Photos. I have used a few different people and Chris does the best job by far. He has raised my conversions significantly. Here is a link to his sitehttp://wrightproductphotos.com/
- John THE man answered 3 years ago
The image must be the cover art or a professional photograph of the product being sold. Drawings or illustrations of the product are not allowed.
- Blackbeard answered 3 years ago
One important point here is that Amazon does not allow any graphics, additional text, or inset images in the main images (examples here would be FDA Approved, 100% Guaranteed, or Money Back Guarantee etc. So avoid any possibility of having a photo or listing pulled and don't add anything to these main images but a big beautiful shot of the product!
- gogold answered 3 years ago
Most people, including myself, have ZERO experience with photography in general yet alone taking product pictures. What that means is that we are going to have to find someone to take them for us.

The Importance of Words
Mike: I need to be careful with my words. When I used "we" I had no idea how it could trigger the thoughts that you shared. I was talking about the royal "I." From here on out, it will simply be "I," "me" or "self."
Ram: Yes, words a very important. Vedanta is all about words because they are the vehicle that carry ideas. When I work with someone spiritually the first thing we do is set up a common vocabulary. Today I had a satsang with a woman and it was only after about an hour that she understood what I meant by "knowledge." When she got the meaning it added a whole new dimension to her sadhana which was at a critical stage, making the transition from experience- and action-words to identity-words. Vedanta is an excellent means of self-knowledge because it uses Sanskrit words that have very specific meanings that signify physical, psychological and spiritual facts. There aren't many words to learn, perhaps forty or fifty, but once they are understood one can go very far with them. They take you right to the Wordless.
Had I understood "we" as you intended, I could have saved the trouble of writing so many words. "Self," or "I," is a good word. Enlightenment is simply knowing the meaning of "I" when you say or think it. If you say it and your concept is that "I" is limited, inadequate and incomplete then your understanding of the word does not match that to which it refers. Vedanta aims to get one's thinking in line with reality.
Mike: I can relate to the statement in your last email that, "People do not want to suffer these ups and downs, these contradictions." Contradictions are present in my environment either through my own manufactured abilities or others who surround me. I am a seeker of knowledge instead of experience thanks to today's teaching.
Ram: Good. Mind you, there is nothing wrong with experience, spiritual or otherwise, and if you communicate with a mahatma you will definitely have sublime and valuable experiences. But the experiencer, the self, is the subject of Vedanta, and it is always free of experience. When you understand that you are the self you appreciate the value of negative experiences as well as the positive ones. Then you will not shy away from bad experiences or chase good ones. It is the contention of Vedanta that most of what bedevils us is manufactured because of a lack of self-knowledge. Even the projections of others only affect us because we accept them in some way.
Mike: I am happy to contribute to your lifestyle in any way that will assist you no matter if we meet or communicate simply via email. As a suggestion, you may want to add a contribution page to your website. My first contribution will be the mail to you tomorrow.
Ram: Generosity is always good, but is by no means required. If I had the money I would look after you if you needed it. I stayed with my guru for two years and basically he picked up the tab for everything except my plane fares. Only once did he ask for money. The important thing for me is that someone be willing to quit chasing experience and seek understanding. If somebody has desire to know the truth, I'm their slave. Nothing satisfies me more than sharing this great wisdom. There are two Sanskrit words that reveal my feeling about this: "bhakta bhaktiman." They mean "the Lord (read: self, or guru) is the devotee of the devotee (read: seeker of truth)."
~ Ram

This book is the first collection of children's verses by Lee Jeonglock, who is a recipient of the Kim Su-young Literary Award and well known as a poet of works for adult readers. His works have depicted the vitality existing even within small, seemingly insignificant objects such as insects. In the present collection, the subjects of such vitality that the poet discovers with his sensitivity are children. Reflecting his history as a poet and a schoolteacher for over 20 years, 53 poems for young readers are divided into 4 parts. Parts 1-2 mimic children's speech to depict the diverse emotions that they feel in everyday spaces such as school and home. Part 3 adds jest to the entire volume by comprising word play poems that play with the commonality between the characteristics of different animals and children. Part 4 consists of "ecological poems" that lyrically and profoundly demonstrate insight into communication between nature and humanity and into life.

text: charlesanakin 399 Posted September 16, 2017 Is it possible that terrain and cover will be limited similar to how X-Wing and Armada use pre-sized obstacles? Could we see terrain base sizes and then players are free to mount whatever tree, bush, rock, etc they choose (or is thematic)? This also leads me to wonder how tournaments will be played? Will all tournament tables be the same or will it simply be fine to use different terrains for each table and players just have to deal and adapt? Who will provide the tables? Will their be FFG standards for table builds? Ive seen lots of amazing hobbyists with great terrain but we know so little about how FFG views terrain and cover.

patterns > Knitty > Knitty, Spring + Summer 2014
> Kali
Summer holidays always remind me of visiting sweet shops in the places we visited, having pocket money to spend and the seemingly endless colorful choice of sweets on which to spend it. My favorite sweets were always the ones that contained sherbet, or kali as it is known in Yorkshire. I loved the bright colors of the sherbet in the jars, the licorice sticks or lollipops which I used to dip into the packets or the flying saucers -- rice paper discs with sherbet inside that melted on your tongue and then gave a fizzy hit.
This vest top was inspired by many summer holidays spent in those sweet shops eating sherbet. The bright colors and combinations that it can be made in are endless and the slipstitch pattern reminds me of the flying saucers that I used to love.
This shape of this garment is perfect for a spring/summer top. It can be layered over a t-shirt or longer sleeve top on those cooler days or worn on its own as a vest top. The garter stitch rib adds a pretty detail to all the edges and the splash of a third color makes it zing! It is surprisingly easy to knit as the pattern is formed with slipstitches, which is perfect for knitting on holiday or after eating too many sweets.

Ace Of Clubs
The Ace of Clubs is one of the four special semi-fixed cards. People born on the Ace of Clubs birthdays are the best-informed people in their circle of friends. There is nothing much to escape their attention. The Ace of Clubs is a born leader, one who knows better the actual reasons behind people actions and willing to share his or her knowledge with others. The Ace of Clubs seeks many channels of expression. Their mental abilities are incredible and so their drive for learning about life. They have an extraordinary vision for all kind of metaphysical studies, either they accept it in themselves or not. The Aces of Clubs have a magnetic charm that drives the public to them.
The Ace of Clubs is a positive thinker, quick, witty and aggressive debater. The best way to learn for them is a good argument. Strong desire for self-expression may start to manifest in their early childhood. For most Ace of Clubs people, mother plays a vital role in creating their strong character and stimulates their quest for finding their own identity. Quick and passionate tempered nature will never stand slow environment and will cause arguments with teachers, or any people in charge.
The Ace of Clubs person is born for the professional success. Working with groups of women, or in any area interconnected with beauty and home are the prominent fields to apply their talents. These are people of the big picture. They plan for a long-term, and often against anything that limits their horizons. Working as an employee might be a challenge.
The Ace of Clubs may find it difficult to settle down in any place for long. Restless and energetic nature suggests the desire for change. With all, their dominant and bright character, the Ace Of Clubs are flexible in their thinking, and that gives them great ability to adapt fast to any circumstances. Travel and a variety of experiences at work can add significantly to happiness.
The Ace of Clubs natural curiosity is apt to lead them to an interest in psychology and metaphysics. This will benefit a lot later in life, and also others because with their enlightened understanding they can help others to see the truth. Choosing right people and friends is very important if the Ace Of Clubs want to be as well appreciated as they deserved.

Ace suit suggests a strong sense of independence, desire to excel and to lead. It is the most ambitious card and can bring those who identified with it to the greatest heights. "Dream the impossible dream" is the deepest motivation of these people, and the hidden motive is self-acceptance. Ace promotes masculine energy expressed as action and accomplishment. Aces represent Desire. It can be desire to love, knowledge, wealth or wisdom. Aces aren't usually know for their patience, because they have so much to accomplish in this lifetime and so little time to do it and there's no time to stay and look inside themselves, or waiting for others. They may appear selfish at times, but it comes from a compelling urge for freedom and action, and preoccupation to establish their own identity.
Each suit represents one of our stages of life. Clubs correspond with our school years, the Summer season, the element Air - the functioning mind of man. Clubs are the guardians of intelligence and rule all mental processes, all psychological reactions, all communications, and messages. They argue, debate, spread the news, investigate, record. Clubs rule all forms of education, legal matters, literature and journalism. If your birthday identifies you as a Club, your prime asset is your mind. People who born as Clubs are interested in ideas and ways of communication. They are looking for truth - in and out. They strive to know facts, details and reasons behind anything happen in life. This vital search for knowledge give them the quality of a "thinker". They are able to counteract their emotions and feeling and solve any issue in an effective and rational manner. Clubs are very active and aggressive especially when they want to express their ideas and thoughts. Their prime weapon in life is their mind, and someone attacking their ideas may become the greatest enemy. You will do well in occupations which provide you with opportunity to share your knowledge, mental power with others - such as teaching, law, writing and counseling.

Aboriginal Initiatives
College of Nursing Strategic Plan for Aboriginal Engagement
The College of Nursing plays a central and strategic role in Saskatchewan's health care system. This requires the College to be a leader in shaping the province's health workforce, responding to demographic, social and economic challenges and supporting efforts for continual improvement.
The most important thing the College of Nursing can do in improving Aboriginal health is to educate Aboriginal health professionals, so they can respond to the needs of their own communities. This means supporting their success through accessible education and a range of student services. At the same time, we need to ensure all of our graduates are able to provide culturally competent care and are cognizant of the particular cultural and socio-economic contexts influencing Aboriginal health; and foster research that improves Aboriginal primary health care and health policy at local, provincial, national and international levels.
The University of Saskatchewan has recognized its role and responsibility in contributing to improvements in quality of life for Aboriginal peoples through research, community engagement and post-secondary education. Like the broader University of Saskatchewan, the College of Nursing has recognized its responsibilities in leading positive change and has prioritized Aboriginal engagement in its Third Integrated Plan (IP3) 2012-2016 The College of Nursing's Strategic Plan for Aboriginal Engagement addresses the IP3 goals and identifies specific aims, activities and outcomes to achieve them.
University of Saskatchewan's Third Integrated Plan
Statement of Commitment
We will be characterized as a place with diversified approaches and flourishing initiatives in every college and school involving rigorous and supportive programs for Aboriginal success, engagement with Aboriginal communities, inclusion of Indigenous knowledge and experience in curricular offerings and intercultural engagement among faculty, staff and students.
The following information has been taken directly from the University of Saskatchewan's Third Integrated Plan.
University of Saskatchewan Commitments
- Co-ordinate and Strengthen University-Community Relationships
- Increase Visibility of Aboriginal Culture and Symbols on Campus
- Celebrate Success and Leverage Internal Expertise

On March 12, 2011, the Council on Asian Pacific Minnesotans joined with five other sponsors to host the Burma Health Forum, which aimed to create greater dialogue pertaining to the health needs of refugees from Burma in Minnesota. The forum featured keynote speaker, Dr. Myo Nyunt, who provided political and historical background information on the country of Burma; a first-hand refugee story from Eh Tha Khu, a newly arrived Karen refugee to Minnesota; and several panelists who work in both systems navigation and health integration for refugee community members in the state of Minnesota.
Sponsors: The Language Banc, The Council on Asian Pacific Minnesotans,Karen Organization of Minnesota, HealthEast Care System, UCare, MN Department of Health
Event Materials
Presentations (all files are in PDF format, will open in new window)

- Community Health Workers as Health Care Home Care Coordinators, Molly Jacques, Program Manager,Hennepin County Medical Center
- All presentations combined
It is the hope of this council and its sponsors that this forum will be the first of many discussions about how to better address the various healthcare needs of refugees from Burma living in Minnesota. It is imperative that healthcare providers work with both local refugee integration organizations as well as the Burma community itself to gain a greater understanding of the unique cultural, linguistic, and personal barriers that prevent these citizens from getting the care they need and deserve.
Call to Action: Without action, there is no change.
- Contact your legislators: Individuals, groups, or organizations interested in speaking to legislators to advocate on behalf of the community from Burma may contact the Council on Asian Pacific Minnesotans.
- Connecting with stakeholders: Want to be more involved in discussing way to improve health outcomes and health care access for refugees from Burma? Please contact the Council at firstname.lastname@example.com as a way to get in touch with organizations and individuals working on this topic.

Catcher Wil Nieves Signs $800,000 Deal With The Diamondbacks
The Arizona Diamondbacks have re-signed Puerto Rican catcher and MDR Sports Management client Wil Nieves to a one-year, $800,000 contract.
"I would like to thank the Diamondbacks organization for placing their trust in me again," said Nieves following the announcement of his new deal with the Diamondbacks. "I am happy and confident that we have a great team and I will be available to help them in any form or role that is needed."
Nieves signed with the Diamondbacks in August of 2012 as a free agent after catcher Henry Blanco suffered a season-ending injury. His new contract represents his highest yearly salary since he entered the league in 2005. He has played for the Yankees, San Diego Padres Washington Nationals, Milwaukee Brewers, Colorado Rockies and the Diamondbacks.
"The Diamondbacks is a great fit for Wil and I have no doubt that he will be ready to give 100% for the team again," said his agent Melvin Roman, president and CEO of MDR Sports Management.

Hello, I'm Mark Bailey, a user experience designer and researcher.

UX Design for AI: AI specific issues while user testing
Even before doing user testing you want to make sure all of the algorithms are working. If you can hand off UX requirements to the QA testing group it's helpful. But, I've found a lot of the time the QA group is also adjusting to the new reality of working with AI; and a lot of the time, as long as they can verify that the app gives a reasonable response, it passes. However, AI can give many responses that make sense but do not help the user to achieve their goals.
Design for AI — How algorithm choice affects UX
Machine learning is one of the strategies many companies are using as they try to improve their user's experience. Building artificial intelligence into apps can improve what can be done for customers and users, but can also affect how customers and users interact with the machine. In this article I am covering how, as the designer, you can help improve the process; even when the engineers are deciding on which machine learning algorithm to use.
How Making Your Site Accessible Will Make More Money
The obvious answer to making a site more accessible is attracting more customers through the simple act of widening the possible user base. It is estimated 10% of people using the web are navigating it with some kind of disability, but this answer is too simplified since most managers really have a problem with the extra cost of making a site accessible. But I want to show there doesn't need to be an added expense and it is justified even if there are not any extra user base…
Managing Technical Writing for UX People
One of the ways that companies are cutting costs is cutting out the position of technical writer with the tasks being added onto the role of the UX person.

Confessing "Jesus is Lord" has implications for how we observe our daily lives.
Two-thousand years ago, confessing "Jesus is Lord" was akin to committing treason, especially in a culture that regularly confessed that Caesar was Lord.1 A modern analogy would be to confess: "Jesus is my President." But this pales in comparison as Caesar considered himself not answerable to any human establishment (e.g. the Senate) nor even answerable to God.
Nonetheless confessing Jesus is Lord of all has real implications for how Christians must live our lives:
- If we really believe in one God, then the whole of creation, the entire universe belongs to God and people are God's creations, answerable to God to whom we owe our respect for the privilege of the gifts for creation. A prayer of thanksgiving at the beginning of a meal is a nice beginning, but our actions after getting up from the table are much more significant.
- If we really believe in one Spirit, then all talents are divine and in God's eye, all people are equally gifted. Early Christians may have argued over the which gifts were more significant or which indicated that a person had truly received the Holy Spirit as evidenced by their gifts. If we claim that Jesus is Lord, then the question becomes how will we use the gifts or charisma that we have received to advance the Kingdom of Heaven?
- If we really accept Jesus as Lord, then Jesus is Lord always and everywhere! Not merely on Sunday morning during worship is Jesus Lord, but especially on Monday morning and Friday night. Not merely in Church, but especially at work, at play, and in the voting booth. For if Jesus really is Lord advancing the Kingdom of Heaven must take precedence over advancing one's nation, and especially over advancing one's own career even over the laws enacted by earthly governments.
How do you use your gifts to advance the Kingdom of Heaven?
I will have more to say about 1 Corinthians 12:1-13 and gifts of the Spirit on Sunday, June 4th at Temple Terrace Presbyterian Church. Please wear red for Pentecost, the day when the Holy Spirit divided as tongues of fire among the disciples.
