Post subject: Mot's ANH Chewie WIP
Jumping all in! I have several 501st costumes and figured it's time for another RL besides the A-wing. Been reviewing the wips and other areas of info. Thanks to Jaime for the guidance to date
Ordered lifts(High Stepper - currently on sale!) and braces to get that started. Then on to the mesh suit.

Stand about 6'2" so will be reducing the steppers. Hope to get started on this next week.
I reside in Brown County, IN. Member of the 501st(Bloodfin Garrison) 13 years with a Sandtrooper, ESB Vader, and Tusken. I believe this will be the states first Chewie, though we have a couple awesome Wookies that travel from the North and Ohio.

I've seen a lot of comments referencing a pajama pattern for the mesh suit. Any particular pattern better than others?

Welcome to the hair club!
I used McCall's 5592, it's an easy pattern. I used the extra large to get the size that I need because I have added hockey shoulder pads underneath.

Thanks! Still figuring out which route to go with the shoulder pads so will take that into consideration also.

Hair is on the way along with the mesh and lifts. Can't seem to find that pattern(5592), looks to be an older one
Also, I assume will have to use something along the seams for the mesh suit...?

Received about 40 bags of hair, mesh for the suit, and final piece of the lifts. Also picked up the pattern to use for the mesh suit. Still need to grab some hooks and shoulder pads (nothing locally available). Hope to have the lifts completed this weekend then that will be it until after DC.

Feet by Jamie came in while away at DC! Hope to get them coated/painted this weekend. Ordered hockey shoulder pads yesterday and apparently on my door step right now! Still looking into the hip/thigh pads.

My two Cents. I use a costume muscle suit that you see during Halloween. If you are going for a Chewbacca, he is very thin and not a Bigfoot body type.
But..... it also depends on your actual body type.

Right, not bulking out, just keeping everything in proportion to the legs.

Here is a very interesting biography about Leunig:
Here is a very interesting biography about Leunig:
On Monday we had some goulash and dumplings left from Sunday. Peter liked the spicy gravy very much. He also got a little bit of left over red cabbage and some other vegies. I chose the following for my meal: Cannellini Beans ( Peter did get some of these too), Natural Yogurt, and Beetroot.
To the beans I added some Psylium Husk Powder and grated cheese. I also added some Turmeric to the beans and there were also some salad leaves on the plate. We were both very happy with our meal!
The other day at Bunnings in Warrawong we did get a spray can for painting the outside table a bright yellow. Peter also bought a new shower head. He already changed the shower head. And the new one works very well! Good job done Peter.
We always buy a lot of different fruit. Every day we eat a bit of banana. The banana skin gets cut into small pieces for the worms in our worm farm.
Up until last Sunday we watched a lot of tennis on TV. They showed quite a few very good matches from the Australian Open in Melbourne. The adds were very tiring though. It was usually very hot during the AO. Here at our place we had a lot of hot days and nights the past few days. We even put the air-conditioning on a few times!
You can of course go to the above link of The Guardian and read the whole article but here is just a little bit of what NINA CAPLAN says on the subject of marriage:
" . . . . Matrimony may make you wealthier, but the power isn't vested in any institution to make you happier, or more secure in the psychological rather than the custodial sense. Only the right partnership can do that.
And – surprise, surprise – here is a study that tells us that this is exactly what the right partnership does. Data taken from more than 350,000 people in two UK surveys, analysed by researchers from the Vancouver School of Economics, informs us that married people are happier than single ones, that those in committed relationships, even without the paperwork, are as happy as those who have put a ring on it – and that the middle-aged are the most happily hitched of all. . .
After browsing through a lot of articles on the internet, I ended up with the following blog about the Meaning in Life:
Derek Beres refers to Emily Esfahani Smith's book, The Power of Meaning: Finding Fulfillment in a World Obsessed by Happiness, and says:
"We are obsessed with happiness, often believing it a birthright, yet as journalist We are obsessed with happiness, often believing it a birthright, yet as journalist Emily Esfahani Smith notes in her book, The Power of Meaning: Finding Fulfillment in a World Obsessed by Happiness, all that searching is actually making us unhappy"
Beres further says the following:
"As with my recent conversationwith Robert Lustig, Smith cites Aristotle's concept of eudaemonia as a force for "cultivating the best qualities within you both morally and intellectually and living up to your potential." Instead of chasing pleasure, we need to institute the search for meaning.
This is challenging during a time when you're constantly instructed to do "what you love." Smith counters this advice by invoking German philosopher Immanuel Kant. As with the mythologist Joseph Campbell, who, while famously remembered for saying "follow your bliss," continued, "If your bliss is just your fun and your excitement, you're on the wrong track."
"To Kant, the question is not what makes you happy. The question is how to do your duty, how to best contribute—or, as the theologian Frederick Buechner put it, your vocation lies 'where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet.'"
Smith's beautifully researched homage to this hunger hinges on "four pillars of meaning." By seeking, cultivating, and maintaining each of these, she argues, happiness arises from a deep sense of contentment rather than the incessant and unyielding grasping for pleasure. "
Then there are four interesting write-ups about
Beres says: "Transcendence is at the heart of most spiritual traditions. It can be achieved through psychedelics, music, scripture, or meditation. A deep sense of connectedness carries adherents beyond the normal trappings of society. People are able to intimately connect with their environment and peers. Writing of volunteers in a 2015 study focused on the development of empathy through transcendence,"
Smith notes:
"They abandoned the conceit, which many of us have, that they were the center of the world. Instead, they stepped outside of themselves to connect with and focus on others."
Here is what I found in Amazon.com about the book:
The Power of Meaning: Finding Fulfillment in a World Obsessed with Happiness Paperback – September 5, 2017
by Emily Esfahani Smith (Author)
In a culture obsessed with happiness, this wise, stirring book points the way toward a richer, more satisfying life.
"Too many of us believe that the search for meaning is an esoteric pursuit—that you have to travel to a distant monastery or page through dusty volumes to discover life's secrets. The truth is, there are untapped sources of meaning all around us—right here, right now.
To explore how we can craft lives of meaning, Emily Esfahani Smith synthesizes a kaleidoscopic array of sources—from psychologists, sociologists, philosophers, and neuroscientists to figures in literature and history such as George Eliot, Viktor Frankl, Aristotle, and the Buddha. Drawing on this research, Smith shows us how cultivating connections to others, identifying and working toward a purpose, telling stories about our place in the world, and seeking out mystery can immeasurably deepen our lives.
To bring what she calls the four pillars of meaning to life, Smith visits a tight-knit fishing village in the Chesapeake Bay, stargazes in West Texas, attends a dinner where young people gather to share their experiences of profound loss, and more. She also introduces us to compelling seekers of meaning—from the drug kingpin who finds his purpose in helping people get fit to the artist who draws on her Hindu upbringing to create arresting photographs. And she explores how we might begin to build a culture that leaves space for introspection and awe, cultivates a sense of community, and imbues our lives with meaning.
Inspiring and story-driven, The Power of Meaning will strike a profound chord in anyone seeking a life that matters."
"Nobody inherits emails and tweets!"
This is what Wally says in Di Morrissey's novel that I talked about yesterday in my blog:
So, I think Wally raised the point that what is written down as a family history, can be passed on to future generations.
Wally says there is a chance that someone might find the written down family history sometime in the future and become interested in it. But something like this is not going to happen with emails or tweets. And I think this statement is correct!
This statement makes me feel good since for the past few years I tried over and over again to write down as much about my family history as I could remember. According to Wally I seem to have done the right thing writing down whatever I could. There is just one thing, I am still far behind in copying everything onto paper. To my mind it is much safer to leave everything on paper besides having it in the computer. So far having my writing in the computer seems to be more or less safe. However, I am not so sure that safety is guaranteed for all eternity! It should really be one of my priorities to copy my writing onto paper. Why do I find it so hard to persevere with this? Many distractions. perhaps? The distractions seem to be never ending. I make excuses every day why I cannot do certain things. With advancing age there are days when I find it difficult, to continue reading interesting articles in the media or in WordPress. This dreadful lethargy makes me just play games on the computer. At least, usually I am still capable of getting good results when I play these games. I stick to three different games only. I am not interested in finding any more games to play on the computer. These three games, that I keep playing, I find to be enough entertainment. I do not want to get bogged down with any more games!
My three games on the computer are:
Today, after a break of two weeks, we finally managed to do some house cleaning again. I was happy to be able to share in the task, and I was also very happy when after a couple of hours or so I had the feeling that now the house was reasonably clean again.
The next thing on the list was travelling to Warrawong for a bit of shopping. Peter was not very happy when I suggested a tea-break. Bunnings, the huge hardware store, where we managed to get a few things that we had been looking for, well, this hardware store was not air-conditioned. It was very hot and humid outside. The hot humid air was allowed to fill the store through the open doors. I think a few fans were blowing in the shop. It was not disastrously hot, but the humid air made it extremely uncomfortable. I usually do not like a lot of air-conditioning, but when the hot air is so very humid, then I am really grateful for a bit of air-conditioning. Our next stop was the huge Warrawong Shopping Centre, and this place was cool.
This is when I suggested our tea-break. It took a while to talk Peter into it. When Peter goes shopping by himself he never stops for tea or coffee. And very reluctantly he agreed to have this tea-break with me.
Today was the day after Australia Day. The coffee/tea shop in the shopping centre still had some Australian flags on display.
One week ago, on Saturday, we had our lunch meeting with the future in-laws. The wedding of Caroline and Matthew is going to take place in three weeks time, namely on the 17th of February 2018. This is the day when twelve years ago Caroline and Matthew met for the first time!
"THE RED COAST" is the title of a novel by DI MORRISSEY. I am now about half way through reading this book. Last night = just before going to sleep – I got stuck on pages 184/185. DI MORRISSEY tells the reader about a writers' festival in Broome where some well known authors are present. During question time Wally, a 90+ old man from the audience asks one of the authors:
"So, tell me, how would you suggest getting a book together from a whole pile of notes and letters?"
"Are they yours? Or someone else's? You mean like compiling a family history?" replied the young author.
Wally points out that it is not just a family history but "a ripping yarn, an adventure and a mystery" which is all true and "would be a bloody good movie. But sad though."
The author's advice is as follows: "Start at the beginning. Pretend you are writing a letter to a friend." And then he asks Wally: "Can you use a computer?"
Here is Wally's answer: "Bloody oath, I'm on Facebook. – Well, computers might be all the go these days, but I reckon we should all be writing down our family stories. And even if they don't get published, someone will find and read them. Nobody inherits emails and tweets. My wife's family history is an oral one, so unless the stories are told to the next generation, the history will be lost. You got to keep your family's stories."
So DI MORRISSEY writes: "There was a burst of applause when he said this, and Wally sat back down looking pleased with himself."
Recently I've been reading a lot of novels about outback Australia, wriiten by Australian authors. I find it always very interesting to learn a bit more about outback Australia. What this over ninety year old bloke says in DI Morrissey's novel I find most interesting. For instance he says, that nobody inherits emails and tweets. This is pretty sharp, wouldn't you think so?
Grassroot Records and Divers Tavern present a special Corrugation Lines, Broome writer's Festival opening event. Shane Howard in Concert. The Tavern will be transformed into a seated theatre for this rare chance to see one of Australia's treasured artists in an intimate concert. Marking 20 years since he produced the widely loved Pigram Brothers album "Saltwater Country", Broome welcomes back the writer and poet in all his heartfelt storytelling magic. Do not miss!
The above was a Broome Writers' Festival Event in August 2017.

Meet the Cast: Ashley Dougherty, Victoria White, and Tracy Wiu
Our Green Hornet fan film is deep in post-production, and in the meantime, we're bringing you more behind-the-scenes interviews leading up to the film's release.
We caught up with actresses Ashley Dougherty, Victoria White, and Tracy Wiu to talk about their roles in the film. They play Mira, Natalie, and Amy, three friends out on the town for a night of fun. Too much fun, it turns out. The women wake up the next morning to find themselves prisoners in a sex trafficking operation.
We spoke to Ashley, Victoria, and Tracy about the dynamic of working with people you've known for a long time and their approach to carrying the emotional weight of the film.
Let's talk about sacrifice. You're each giving up time with your families and various responsibilities (not to mention sleep) in order to be here. As working actors, how do you find that work/life balance?
Victoria: It helps to have a support system. My dog is sick right now, so my husband is taking care of that. But we love what we do, and it makes it easy to work all day and come to set at night. I look forward to it.
Ashley: I'm a single mom to two kids. My mom is watching them, and I do feel guilty leaving them sometimes. But I try to model my ambition so that they grow up knowing that it's important to go after the things you're passionate about. There was a time when I would say yes to every project that came along. Now, I only take things I feel very strongly about, and they know that it has to be important in order for me to leave them for any amount of time.
Victoria: I agree. I said yes to this because the script was hilarious, and I love The Green Hornet. Plus, these are strong female characters. You don't often get roles like that.
Ashley: Yeah. Usually, it's playing a cocktail waitress or something.
You have all known each other for a long time. How did that affect your dynamic on set?
Tracy: We're very close, and we've all taken acting classes together at the same studio for years now. We've been vulnerable with each other in ways most people can't understand, and I think that's going to translate on screen. As actors, our job is to bring truth to the words. Our relationship will make that process much more real.
Victoria: Tracy brought me the script. Before i even read it, I knew I was going to do it because I trust her with all of my heart. That trust extends to the work.
A lot of the emotional weight in the story rests on the three of you. How do you prepare for something like that?
Tracy: You draw from the experiences you have. I've never been assaulted or improsoned, but I have experienced things that are deeply painful. It's tapping in to those emotions and amplifying them. As an actor, you're constantly making choices that effect your emotional state.
And I think the fact that everyone on set is close makes that easier. For instance, I'm friends with Jennifer Christa Palmer (JCP), who plays Victoriya. The beauty of being close with these people is that I trust them. It's huge. At one point, I had to spit in JCP's face. If they'd cast some guy off the street, that would have been much harder to pull off. But with JCP, I knew that when the director called 'cut' we were still going to be good.

Ah the Montagne Noir- where the rain comes from!
|.........comes to & stays more often than not !
Hello and welcome,
Looks like a wonderful place. Stunning landscape.
Very remote
We (vegplot and I) were in Collioure on the holiday he mentioned.
We travelled into the mountains a bit but not as far as you, Castlenou was a memorable visit, as were the Cloisters at Elne.
I can't recall the name of the Gorge we drove through either .... apart from the fact that it was hair-raising.
...yes, I can, it just came to me, Gorge De Galamus
|Croeso from Wales
|Pete Shield
Welcome to Downsizer.
We spent a week in that area a few years ago driving around the mountains. Very beautiful. I can't remember where it was precisely but there was a road cut into the cliff face of a winding valley, very impressive.

For three years I have been natural and happy. My weekly wash and style regimen was executed with pride and precision, and I shed the insecurities that came from when my hair was relaxed. However, during the past six months, life has intervened and my hair routine has become the last thing that I care about. My staple has become a fashionable hat-I know, feel free to judge me. Going to the store has become a struggle. As I pass by the hair relaxers, I remember how it felt to have your hair "done". "Done" meaning not having to get another relaxer for another six weeks and an "easier" hair regimen. But I also remember scalp burns, split ends, and that horrid period right before you need to get a relaxer where your ponytail gradually gets shorter. I recently made myself a promise, before I make any drastic decisions regarding my hair, I will try to develop a new routine. I am past the stage of spending my hard-earned money testing multiple expensive products that may not work. However, I found a service that allows me to pay a base amount($20.00) to receive a mixture of full-size and sample products geared towards women with naturally curly hair- Curlkit.
Curlkit subscribers receive 6-9 full and sample-size products geared toward women with naturally curly hair. The following will include a summary of my ordering process, delivery, package contents and my overall thoughts.
Ordering Process:
Last year, was when I first learned of subscription box services through Curlbox, another service for women with naturally curly hair. I was turned off by the ordering process, for Curlbox you are placed on a waiting list until spots open (typically on Saturdays). I work most weekends and was not able to subscribe. With CurlKit I was not placed on a waiting list.
The ordering process was fairly simple and they offered monthly subscription services as well as gifts of subscriptions. I purchased a 3 month gift subscription for myself (I don't like being tied down). My only issue with the ordering process was the fact that they currently do not allow payments through PayPal, my preferred service.
According to Curlkit's website, orders are sent between the 4th and 10th of each month and clients will be notified by email once they have shipped. I did not receive an email or tracking number, which caused me some concern. My package arrived on the 10th, and several hours later I received my email with my tracking number and shipping information. I'm not sure if this happened since I am a new member, but if you are someone that likes or needs to know when your packages are arriving this may be an issue.
Package Contents:
My products came in pretty packaging, I felt like I was unwrapping a gift.
(Left to Right) Ors Hair Mayonaise; Cream of Nature Argon Oil Moisturizing Milk Masque; Naturals by Hask Weightless Repairing Dry Oil*, Shine 'n Jam Silk Edges
(Left to Right): Kandy Kurls Lemoncello Daily Refresher; Hair Rules Hydrating Finishing Cream*; Ors Uplifting Shampoo; CurlMax Twisty Curly Spray
Overall Thoughts:
The above video describes my overall reaction to my first CurlKit box. I am excited to try my new products, but I am overwhelmed by the volume of them. The fact that I will have 6-9 more new things to try next month is a bit much for me to handle. I am satisfied with my decision to only purchase three months.
Follow this link to receive 10% off of your order or you can also like them on Facebook to receive a discount.
* According to the product booklet, this month's box contained bonus items I received two; Hair Rules Hydrating Finishing Cream and Naturals by Hask Weightless Repairing Dry Oil.
** I was not paid by Curlkit and purchased it on my own.

The U.S. Air Force plans to increase commander support staff (CSS) manning across the force by 1,600 by fiscal year 2022 increasing total authorizations to more than 6,300. The increase in CSS manning ties directly to the Air Force chief of staff's first focus area — revitalizing squadrons. One of the first milestones of revitalizing squadrons was the reduction of additional duties for Airmen across the Air Force. A comprehensive review of duties under the direct control of the Air Force resulted in the elimination, reassignment, or reduction of 29 of 61 additional duties identified under Air Force Instruction 38-206, 'Additional Duty Management.' Any new positions will be prioritized by need across the Air Force.

In the summer of 2013, Mary (not her real name), a 15-year-old with Down Syndrome, worked a few hours a week at a coffee shop in southwest Detroit called Cafe Con Leche. On July 17, Mary did not show up for her two-hour shift that began at 3:30 PM. The shop's owner, Jordi Carbonell, at 3:35, called Mary's legal guardian who lived a few blocks away. (Mary's mother had died of cancer in 2006.) The legal guardian informed Carbonell that Mary had left the house on time for her four-block walk through the Hubbard Farms neighborhood to her place of employment. Not long after Mr. Carbonell made the call, Mary walked into the shop. When asked why she was late, Mary said she had been with a friend.
This Detroit rape case split the neighborhood into two camps. One group was in support of the vigilantism while others deplored the idea of citizens taking the law into their own hands. One thing they all agreed on was this: the Detroit Police Department, by bungling the investigation, had created the environment for vigilantism.

As the curtan is about to rise on one of the most anticipated Republican national conventions in a long while, one of the questions that begs an answer is, will there be Latino participation and, if so, what will that look like?
The last Republican to win the White House – George W. Bush in 2000 – brought Mariachi music to the convention, held that year in Philadelphia where the Democrats will meet this year. It was a hamhanded, although apparently sincere attempt, at Hispanic outreach that was preceded by a "Change the Tone" whistle stop tour of California during which Bush focused on racial inclusion and even spoke some Spanish.
In truth, there weren't many prominent Latinos with speaking slots in 2000, except for George P. Bush, son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, whose wife Columba is Mexican.
Still, that year, Bush earned 34 percent of the Hispanic vote, according to Pew Hispanic Center. Four years later, he did even better, grabbing a 40 percent-share of the Latino vote – better than even Ronald Reagan's 37 percent in 1984, the year Reagan sought re-election. At the 1984 convention, Katherine Ortega, U.S. Treasurer and a Latina originally from New Mexico, was the keynote speaker.
The 2004 Republican National Convention didn't boast Latino speakers, except for Brian Sandoval, then Nevada attorney general and currently the state's governor and Central Florida's own Mel Martínez, elected to the U.S. Senate in that year's November election.
In a fascinating and now supremely ironic twist, Zell Miller, a conservative Democrat and then Georgia State senator, was the keynote speaker who had lamented earlier,. "I barely recognize my party anymore."
Mitt Romney, meanwhile, had some prominent Hispanic speakers, including Sandoval, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (who introduce Romney), New Mexico Gov. Susana Martínez, then Puerto Rico Gov. Luis Fortuño and wife Luce Vela Fortuño, then U.S. Senate candidate Ted Cruz.
Harsher Tone
How things have changed.
Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, takes center stage Monday as one of the most polarizing presidential candidates in modern times. He has spent months during the primary campaign alienating Latino voters, stating for instance that Mexicans are rapists and criminals, and that as president he will build a wall along the border with Mexico and make Mexico pay for it, among other things.
Having thus offended not only Mexicans but Hispanics in general as well as others, what Hispanic stands for Trump? What Hispanic is scheduled to speak at the convention or has been asked to speak at the convention? Bear in mind that Trump esentially has ceded the Latino vote to Democrat Hillary Clinton, who polls show has an over 40-point lead among Hispanics versus Trump, according to a Pew Research Center poll.
The Republican National Committee finalized its convention plan today, Sunday. Combing through it, the first Latino and a Monday night prime time speaker is Mary Ann Mendoza, the mother of an Arizona police officer Brandon Mendoza who died in a crash involving a a drunk driver who was undocumented. She is described as an immigration reform advocate.
Mendoza is part of a night entitled "Make America Safe Again," which includes two other moms whose children were killed in an accident involving an undocumented immigrant or allegedly murdered by an undocumented immigrant. Their pain is real. However, Trump appears to be doubling down on the trope of Mexicans as criminals.
Tuesday Night
There are no Latino speakers scheduled for Tuesday night whose theme is "Make America Work Again," which is odd considering that Hispanics make up 16 percent of the U.S. labor pool or about one of every six workers,. The figure is higher in certain industries such as construction. Hispanic labor force participation is expected to rise to about 20 percent or one of every five workers in 2020, just four years from now, according to the Department of Labor.
Wednesday Night
This night of the Republican convention, or "Make America First Again," showcases prominent Hispanics and former presidential primary rivals Florida Sen. Marco Rubio via satélite – after he said he wouldn't appear at all –and Ted Cruz.
Thursday Night
The final night of the Republican convention, "Make America One Again," would seem an ideal night to demonstrate some measure of inclusiveness. There are no Latinos scheduled to speak.
Note: Donald Trump's children – Ivanka, Eric, Tiffany, Donald Jr., as well as his wife Melania – have primetime speaking slots.

Israel launches operation on Lebanon border to destroy Hezbollah attack tunnels
By Judah Ari Gross for the Times of Israel, December 4, 2018 –
IDF Northern Command on high alert as army starts 'neutralizing' not-yet operational passages into Israeli territory from southern Lebanon; Metulla area declared closed zone.
The military said it believed these tunnels were for offensive purposes, unlike the tunnels and underground bunkers used by Hezbollah during the 2006 Second Lebanon War, which were primarily used for its defensive strategies.
Conricus said the tunnels "are not yet operationally ready" and therefore did not pose an "immediate threat."
The operation came as tensions on Israel's northern border have ramped up in recent days, and hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu traveled to Brussels for a meeting with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to discuss Iran and security challenges on Israel's northern border, likely referring to Hezbollah.
Israeli security chiefs were holding security assessments throughout the day on Tuesday in order to predict Hezbollah's reaction to the IDF operation.
The Israeli military's Arabic-language spokesperson called on Hezbollah members and Lebanese citizens to keep away from the tunnels. "You've been warned," he wrote on Twitter.
Israel has long said that Hezbollah planned to conduct cross-border raids in any future conflict, with the specific goal of attacking and conquering a civilian town near the border. Northern residents have raised fears in recent years of attack tunnels being dug under the border, spurring the IDF to launch a task force to investigate the concerns in 2014.
"[Hezbollah's] main goal is to kill as many people as they can in [Israeli] villages and army bases," a senior officer IDF officer said earlier this year, in a briefing to reporters on the Lebanese border.
The IDF operation began in the predawn hours of Tuesday morning. The military declared the area around the community of Metulla a closed military zone, but gave no other special instructions to Israeli civilians in the area.
The army said the operation was expected to expand to other locations along the Israeli-Lebanese border in the coming days. A spokesman said the operation might last weeks.

The research aims to build and measure students' abilities in rebuttal using the Scientific Writing Heuristic (SWH) approach. This mixed-method research method was carried out for 5 months on 38 students, at a high school in West Java, Indonesia. The issue of socio-scientific genetics is given the theme of Genetic Modified Organisms with rebuttal measurements using the updated Toulmin argumentation framework. Qualitative and quantitative data are taken in this article in the form of argumentation before, during, and after treatment; coupled with deep interviews and questionnaires as well as observation of discussions. The results showed there were changes and improvements in rebuttal ability by 27.15% (30 students). The distribution of the strength of evidence is at most level 2 at 48.7% with a weak category, at level 3 at 30.8% with a strong enough category, at level 4 at 20.5% with a strong category.

The aims of this research is to determine the effect of Chemistry Systemic Learning Approach (CSLA) toward Students' Analytical Thinking Skills (SATS). A pre-experimental with pre-test and post-test design was adopted in this research. The population of this study were all of the students of public senior high school in Kulon Progo regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Two classes from a public senior high school in those regency were cluster randomly selected as the research samples. A Systemic Test on Analytical Thinking (STAT) was used to collect the data of SATS, before and after the implementation of CSLA. The STAT covering four indicators of analytical thinking, they are differentiating, organizing, and attributing indicators. Meanwhile, the CSLA was integrated in the teaching-learning process and in the STAT, the CSLA was presented in the form of cyclic diagrams. The data of SATS on CSLA were analyse according to paired samples t-test and n-gain category analysis. The results of these analysis indicates that there was significant effect of CSLA on SATS. Moreover, the profile of SATS shows a satisfied improvement after the implementation of CSLA. Overall, a high n-gain category was reached that indicates the enhancement of students' understanding of the inter-related concept in chemistry. This study gives a significant contribution on the use of CSLA to improve SATS. Hence, the used of CSLA should be emphasized on chemistry learning to promote students' higher order thinking skills. 2019-12-31T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2019 Scientiae Educatia: Jurnal Pendidikan Sains https://www.syekhnurjati.ac.id/jurnal/index.php/sceducatia/article/view/2525 The Development of Biology Module Based on Emotional Spiritual Quotient in Evolution Topic for Senior High School 2020-01-16T02:54:50+00:00 Fatma Rahmadhani email@example.com Armen Armen email@example.com Rahmawati Darussyamsu firstname.lastname@example.com Muhyiatul Fadilah email@example.com Dwi Hilda Putri email@example.com

This study used a qualitative approach through ethnoscience studies, a study of knowledge systems organized from existing cultures in society. The subjects of this study ware customary leaders and science education experts. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The data were analyzed descriptively by using Miles and Huberman analysis model. Test the validity of the data with triangulation. The procession of the application and customary delivery is part of the traditional procession of Jambi Malay wedding procession. The procession starts from the introduction (berusik sirih berguraupinang), applying (tegak batuik duduk betanyo), and custom delivery (ulur antar serah terimo adat dan lembago). In the procession of the application and the customary distribution, the groom usually takes a series of souvenirs (Tepak Sirih/Kepalo Baso) (containing betel, betel lime, gambier, areca nut, tobacco), rattan split ring, graduated clothes and giving "adat" (gold, gold scales, selarih rifles, and spears) and "lembago" (buffalo, 100 ropes coconut, "selemak semanis seasam segaram," and 100 bushels of rice). The community knowledge of the application process and customary delivery can be reconstructed into scientific knowledge related to science. Identified science concepts were quantities, units and measurements, classification of living things, elements, compounds, and mixtures. 2019-12-31T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2019 Scientiae Educatia: Jurnal Pendidikan Sains https://www.syekhnurjati.ac.id/jurnal/index.php/sceducatia/article/view/4937 Giving Questions and Getting Answers (GQGA) Strategy Improves Biology Learning Outcomes 2020-01-16T02:54:50+00:00 M.

A professional science teacher is a teacher who not only understands the basics of science but also understands the skills of the scientific process. However, the results of the tracer study show that science process skills (SSP) from Unwira Biology Education graduates is still low. Therefore, the right strategy is needed to create graduates who understand SSP, like practical jigsaw-based cooperative strategies. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of practical-based jigsaw strategies on the science process skills of biology education students. This research is a quasi-experiment. The sample used was the fourth-semester students of class A and Class B. Class A as a control and class B as an experimental. The results showed that the average score of students' SPS in the experimental class was 90.4 while in the control class was 62.67. After being analyzed using the Independent-Sample t-Test, it showed a significant effect with a value of 0.036. This research concludes that the practical-based jigsaw strategy influences student science process skills.

I've got a backlog of 50 or so reviews I've been meaning to write — some of them, I just have to admit aren't going to get done. But I'm going to try my level best. The four books I've decided to tackle in one fell swoop are books I enjoyed, from series I enjoy, and yet I've had trouble reviewing them. In the end, I decided that was because by and large, I don't have anything to say about these books that I haven't said about others in the series.
But I do want 1. clear these off my to-do list and 2. more importantly, encourage readers to give these a look. So, without further ado:
Broken Homes
by Ben Aaronovitch
Series: The Rivers of London, #4
Mass Market Paperback, 324 pg.
Read: February 15, 2014
The plot took its own sweet time getting where it was going, with a lot of strange little turns here and there — which works because it's probably what actual policemen go through investigating a crime. But almost doesn't work because it makes it feel like Aaronovitch didn't pace this correctly (which is silly, because he did).
I really, really liked the undercover stuff. The conclusion is probably the best that this series has been. It'd be great if Peter learned a bit more though, his stumbling efforts are amusing, but it's time for more proficiency.
I'm eager for the next one of these (and would be even without the big twist) — such a great world he's created here, and I want to learn more about it and the characters that inhabit it.
Black Arts
by Faith Hunter
Series: Jane Yellowrock, #7
Mass Market Paperback, 325 pg.
Roc, 2014
Read: March 25 – 29, 2014
What's to say about this one, that I haven't said about other books in the series already?
The action's tight, the vamp politics and Jane's interaction with it are pretty interesting, Faith's coming to grips with more of her background was really compelling, and her growing relationship with the brothers is fun.
Obviously, this is the most personal case that Jane's had yet — for someone to be messing around with Molly, that's just beyond the pale. Those raised stakes (pun fully intended), and the ongoing drama with Leo's grip on the New Orleans vampires made this the best of the series.
The Player
by Brad Parks
Series: Carter Ross, #5
Hardcover, 336 pg.
Minotaur Books, 2014
Read: April 1 – 4, 2014
What's to say about this one, that I haven't said about other books in the series already?
A lot of fun — great characters, love Carter's voice, everything that you want to see in a Carter Ross novel was here — twisty conspiracy, some good laughs, Carter's personal life in shambles. It was nice to meet his family.
Sadly, I'm at a loss for words here (something that never seems to be Carter's problem), this was a lot of fun. I want a lot more of these.
Speaking from Among the Bones
by Alan Bradley
Hardcover, 372 pg.
Delacorte Press, 2013
May 16 – 14, 2014
Flavia's her typical charming, precocious, incorrigible self. Perhaps a bit more clever than we've seen her before, definitely with less a sense of self-preservation than we've seen previously. Her sisters are a bit, more human? Or maybe Flavia's portraying them more honestly/more sympathetically. The financial pressures her father's under are more and more pressing, causing everyone to be a bit more realistic, it seems.
Still, that doesn't deter Flavia from doing her thing when a body is discovered. It's everything you want in a Flavia de Luce novel — very, very smart conclusion to this mystery.

Children and Young People
St Michael's welcomes children of all ages. We would love to see you on a Sunday or during the week, whenever you are able to come.
Gathered Round on the second Sunday of each month is a more informal, interactive all-age service. The whole service takes place in the main body of the church with chairs seated around tables enabling the congregation to look at each other, as well as at the President.
Families are particularly welcome on these occasions.
Messy Church, on the third Saturday of each month is a fun, informal activity for all the family combining creative activities and biblical teaching.

One day our family was sitting around talking about what really makes a family. Soon our conversation turned to a question. What is a family for? This question led to many other questions like: What do people really want out of their family relationships? What makes a family happy? Who chooses happiness in the family? What destroys families? ETC.
The questions and discussion went on and on. I was so happy to hear my children say things like, "Well, if you just listen to mom and dad and do what they say then you will be happy in your family." The young ones really understood the purpose of a mom and dad and that they needed to trust their parents to guide them along the path to happiness.
Our family does a lot of teaching about good parenting and strong family relationships around the world so my children are used to analyzing our family relationships and when they are going well, and when they aren't. It's so great to be working on a mission as a family.
Well, actually all families are on a mission. The mission is to develop eternal relationships and learn self-government so that we are ready to live in God's presence. These two things are some of the hardest things we could possibly do, but will ultimately be the most important. This life is really all about relationships and self-government.
From that Peck family discussion I wrote a family song called, What is a Family? And then my good friend, Lawrence Gee, composed music to go with it. Here is a link to a music video of the song. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope it gives your family a great tool to start a discussion about what makes your family great and what you can do to improve your relationships.

As part of the 50th anniversary Carrera collection, TAG Heuer has introduced the the Carrera Carbon Calibre 1887 Concept Chronograph. Utilizing a Mikrogirder-style case crafted in extremely advanced carbon matrix composite and the in-house 1887 movement, The Carbon Concept Chronograph pushes the limits of what a Carrera can be.
Yesterday we showed you the Carrera 1887 Jack Heuer Edition, which shares a lot in common with the Carbon Concept Chronograph. But, while the Jack Heuer Edition's 45mm bullhead case is made from titanium carbide steel, already a very lightweight material, the Carbon Concept Chronograph steps it up a notch.
The composite used for the case is an isotropic matrix of carbon fibers that is only .007mm thick. The matrix is structured into the form of the case before undergoing a chemical treatment to rigidify the fibers into the hardened components. The technology is most typically found in F1 and aeronautics applications, and the result is a material that is equal parts lightness and durability. The case, case back (without the crystal), lugs, and bezel weigh in as a minute 19g total weight.
Inside this space-age case is TAG's calibre 1887, which back in 2011 became the marque's first in-house movement. It is a 320 part column wheel chronograph, and is named to commemorate Edouard Heuer's invention of the oscillating pinion in 1887.

What is your favorite subject in school?
Sociology is my favorite! My least favorite is Pre-Calculus, even though I love the teacher. I am best at History and English, but I am the worst at math and science. Although, I do still obtain decent grades in all my subjects.
When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a firefighter, because when I was a kid, I thought they looked really cool! I didn't want to be a business man, because the job just seemed boring and not that interesting or enthusiastic.
What was your life like growing up?
I had a wonderful childhood! My parents love me and didn't "whip me." I had many friends and got everything I wanted or asked for.
Do you have any brothers or sisters?
I have a sister, Marian, she is 3, and a little brother, George, age 6 (I think). I have older sisters, Frankie, age 18, and Rachel, age 29. I get along with them very well, and my siblings are the best siblings in the entire world!
Why are you in Newspaper?
I am in newspaper because I love to write and share my opinions with the world, or the school at least.
Any last words?
I would like to thank my mother and my fans for giving me the strength to take on the world and make it a happier place.
And don't do drugs!
