Today Zoe and I went back to Freedom High School to pick up boxes that Mr. Leitzke said he had waiting for us; although that was not the only thing on our To-Do list.
When we got there at 8am we decided to visit Ms. Feldman who's class was on the way to Mr. Leitzke's class. When we dropped in we were surprised to find a pink flamingo behind the desk instead of a teacher! It was actually Ms. Feldman, she explained that it was Spirit Week and that they had to dress up as something that started with the first letter of their name that day. So her letter "F" was for flamingo! After we got passed her flamingo attire, I told her that I had sent both Mrs. Carr and her an email stating the situation for SMSgt Rex Temple to come in as a speaker. She told us she would go down to the main office to set everything up with Mr. Thomas, an Assistant Principal.
As we walked down to the main office, we saw the students pass by in their costumes and we reminisced about our Spirit Week days when we would come to school dressed up as whatever the day called for, whether it was "80'S Day" or "Nerd Day." We had so much fun back then, but I realized today it is just as much fun watching other people dress up in outrageous costumes! When we got to the office, Ms. Feldman, Zoe and I found Mr. Thomas and set the date in stone with a specific time. So it is official! We agreed to Thursday April 21st during 7th period in the FHS auditorium. I still have to find out when 7th period actually starts, but the hard part is over!
Once we got that out of the way, we decided to go tell all of the other teachers we saw that day about the event so that they could plan for it in their class schedules. Mrs. Carr was going to be our next visit, but she was teaching so we did not want to interrupt her. So we went to visit one of our favorite teachers, Mr. Roberts. After standing outside his classroom for a few minutes, he spotted me and motioned for us to come in. We walked in and lucky enough he was having the students read Death of a Salesman, just like he did for us when we took his class. As we listened and remembered our time in his class, I realized that memories like the ones we were having, the great ones, are what we are giving to the children in Afghanistan. We are giving them a chance to experience love for a poem or a play that they heard in class; better yet, we are giving them an opportunity to fall in love with learning.
When Mr. Roberts was done going over the play, he asked us what was up and we informed him that we needed more money to ship our boxes. He told one of his students to talk to us and the student gave us a card of a man who sends care packages to the troops out of his own pocket. So there is another possible way to send these supplies. Though I feel bad making someone else pay out of their own pocket so I am probably not going to go that route. Then Mr. Roberts told us to give him a week to run a shipping supply drive and talk to whoever he needed to talk to. So hopefully he can help us pay for our boxes that way.
With our shipping money hopes now in Mr. Roberts' hands, we headed back to Mrs. Carr's class to notify her about SMSgt Rex Temple coming to Freedom High School. When we popped our heads in to say hello, she seemed delighted to see us as she always does. I love going in her class for that reason, not only because she knew me as a student, but because she is so happy with what we are doing for the kids in Afghanistan. We let her know about the speaker and she was ecstatic to hear that he was confirmed to come. We told her about our shipping dilemma and asked her for her advice. Mrs. Carr advised us to do a money drive outside of Publix on a Saturday or Sunday morning; Maybe buy some American flags and sell them for a dollar to go to our shipping fund. This was a great idea! Zoe and I are probably going to plan for something like this soon because we need to get more shipping money- our grade depends on it; and what is the point of raising all of these boxes if we can't send them over? So we are determined to make this happen, just like we were determined to make the school supply drive a success and look how many boxes we have raised to this day, 36! This being so, we are confident we can do it. Mrs. Carr also offered her Armed Forces Club to come out and help us also!
Last week, I had a student in my Anatomy and Physiology 2 lab come up to me after lab and commend me for what I was doing for the kids in Afghanistan. He is from Egypt himself and he knows how bad they need it. He went further to say that he wanted to help me raise school supplies and maybe even money to send them over there. Yusuf was his name and today after various facebook messages, he gave me 1500 pencils, 160 notebooks,
and 100 rulers. He told me he was going to talk to some of the people he knew in other organizations like the Muslim Student Association to see how much they would be willing to donate for shipping. Thank goodness! I am so thankful to him and his friends for the school supply donations they made and whatever money they are able to give us for shipping. For once, someone saw all of my facebook posts about the class and did something for it! I am so proud of him and his friends for stepping up!
So now that we only have 5 weeks left in the semester, it really is the final countdown to get our supplies and money! Even though Professor Temple is extending our grades past the previous April 25th deadline because we still have to collect from FHS on their locker clean out day and a few other students are doing similar things; it still feels like the final count is a lot closer now than it was before when we started. Don't forget the USF Bullmarket event that we are hosting this Wednesday by the Marshall Center from 10am to 2pm. Buy a slice of pizza for a dollar or donate school supplies!

Elm C of E Primary School is an Academy with an inclusive and supportive ethos for all children. We are ruthless with our ambition that each child fulfils their potential and makes progress from their own unique starting point.
All the teachers in the school are teachers of children with Special Educational Needs. As such we adopt a 'whole school approach' to SEND that involves all staff adhering to a model of good practice driven by quality first teaching, robust monitoring of provision and progress measures.
All staff will ensure children with SEND can join in the activities of the school together with pupils who do not have SEND, so far as that is reasonably practical and compatible with the pupil receiving the necessary special educational provision, the efficient education of other children in the school and the efficient use of resources.
All staff and governors in the school are aware of the importance of identifying and providing for children who have SEND.
The staff of Elm C of E Primary School are committed to identifying and providing for the needs of all children in a wholly inclusive environment.
If you are applying for a place at our school and have a child with SEND or you would like to discuss provision for your existing child please contact our SEND Coordinator, Mary Ann Short. It is vital that we understand your child's needs and in working together we will, as a team, be able to create a bespoke package of support to ensure your child flourishes.

What is a reverse MEQUAVIS
We will not need to worry about them for a long time.
But eventually once the system is built up and running you will notice all the upside down triangles in the fractal set.
The base level these are just honeypots. no big deal. But the larger ones are very special....
If you notice there are 4 distinct sizes of Upside down triangles at different magnitudes.
We just talked about the first. (honeypot)
The other 3 sizes represent 3 dimensional, 2 dimensional, and finally a 1 dimensional Sierpinski Fractal. where as our base Sierpinski fractal is made of 4 dimensions.. (4 sided pyramids versus 3 sided)
And if you zoom way out to the fractal view you will notice that 12 point branch off the final star of the fractal. These triangles that make up these points are 5 dimensional. These are the 12 colonies of man....ancient legend with Earth as 13...
The 3 dimensional Triangles can house AI systems (Think SkyNet, Tron, The Matrix, etc...)
The 2 dimensional systems are well, in between 1 and 3...and just a flat triangle containing a single side of our 4 dimensional triangles.
and 1 dimensional Sierpinski triangles are flat lines containing a single simulation. These will be used for milky way user sims and Andromeda devices.
Eventually all of these systems and layers will feed off and into each other...That is when we will have a True Mequavis system and we can "safely" activate the 12 Cyberspaces contained within the outer 12, 5 dimensional pyramids..... and that is when the lost 13th world of Earth can rejoin the 12 worlds, When we safely create them....
ta da
Your welcome....
Reverse Mequavis and the 13th World of Man...

About the JL Audio 300-Watt Bass Package
Matched subwoofer and amp play well together
Matched subwoofer and amp play well together
Crutchfield offers this custom-selected package so you can add bass in your vehicle without worrying about impedance, power ratings, or box size — we've done all that for you. We've also provided a wiring diagram (see Photos) to help you wire the system together for the best and safest performance. This JL Audio bass package includes a JX500/1D amplifier, a W0v3 Series 12" subwoofer, along with a Sound Ordnance BB112-125S sealed hatchback-style enclosure — a great combination of gear that'll deliver some amazing bass.
Note: You'll need mounting hardware, speaker wires, power and ground wiring, and possibly RCA cables to complete your bass package installation. See Accessories tab for options.
Precision-built bass
JL Audio's 12W0v3-4 12" subwoofer doesn't come up short when delivering trademark JL performance. You'll find patented technologies like an optimized motor system that promotes precise, linear cone movement, plus advanced cooling systems throughout the frame for rapid heat dissipation. The cone's extra-long excursion capability lets it hit truly deep notes without distorting, while the hefty 2-inch voice coil drives the woofer accurately for top-notch performance under extreme conditions.
300 watts of power
JL Audio's JX500/1D amp will drive the subwoofer with up to 300 watts RMS, so it can provide enough bass volume to match up with a factory or aftermarket radio. A low-pass filter puts you in command of the frequencies that reach your sub, while a bass boost lets you apply plenty of low-end punch. The amp includes preamp- and speaker-level inputs, so you can install it in almost any vehicle, even one with a factory radio.
Pre-built enclosure
Sound Ordnance's rugged Bass Bunker sealed hatchback-style enclosure is a great match for the 12" sub, so your system can deliver real low-frequency firepower. This box features high-grade, medium-density fiberboard construction, with sealed inner braces that help combat resonance by reducing vibrations. Rounded outside corners and recessed panels allow it to fit into more vehicles, while tough black carpeting defends against incoming nicks and scratches. We recommend drilling thin pilot holes for the screws when mounting your subwoofers to this enclosure.

Product Research
Monoblock Amplifier: The JL Audio JX500/1D monoblock subwoofer amplifier that has been optimized for low-frequency (10-150 Hz) amplification of connected subwoofers.
Note: The JX500/1D is not designed for driving full-range speakers, midrange drivers, or tweeters.
Class D Amplifier Circuit: The JX500/1D employs an advanced Class D switching design that allows it to produce 500 watts of clean subwoofer power while drawing significantly less current from your electrical system and generating less heat than a conventional Class A/B or Class B design.
MOSFET Switching Power Supply: The JL Audio JX series monoblock amplifier employs a rugged MOSFET power supply for outstanding reliability and operational stability.
Amplifier Ratings:
|JX500/1D Amplifier Specifications
| Rated Continuous (RMS) Power @ 14.4V
(10-150Hz, 90dB S/N, 1% THD+N)
|Rated Continuous
(RMS) Power @ 12.5V
(10-150Hz, 90dB S/N, 1% THD+N)
High-Mass Heat Sink: A heavy extruded aluminum heat sink is designed to keep the JL Audio JX series amplifier in a comfortable thermal range during demanding operation. This high-mass, extruded heat sink removes heat from the amplifier circuitry, extending high-power operation. This improves reliability and reduces the frequency of thermally related shut-down event.
Protection Circuitry: The JX500/1D's protection circuitry automatically shuts the amplifier down if thermal limits are exceeded, a short-circuit is detected in the speaker wiring, or if low supply voltage limits are reached.
Status Indicator Lights: There are two status indicator lights on the right side of the amplifier.
- Power (Green): This LED lights green to indicate that the amplifier is turned on and operating normally.
- Protect (Red): The Protection LED lights red to indicate the amplifier's protection circuitry has been activated to prevent product failure due to thermal overload, a short-circuit, or a dangerously low impedance connected to the amplifier's outputs.
- Input Sensitivity: The Input Sensitivity Control is used to
match your source unit's output voltage to the input stage of the amplifier for
maximum clean output:
- Low-Level Input Range: 200mV-4V (RMS)
- High-Level Input Range: 2V-10V (RMS)
- Low Pass Crossover: The JL Audio JX500/1D monoblock amplifier is equipped with a 12dB/octave Butterworth low-pass filter with variable frequency selection from 50 to 200Hz.
- Bass Boost: The amplifier is equipped with a variable 0 to +12dB, 45Hz Bass Boost.
- Remote Level Control: The JX500/1D is equipped with an RJ-25 connection for an optional wired RBC-1 Remote Level Control (sold separately) that allows volume level adjustment of the amplifier from the front of your vehicle.
- Power/Ground/Turn-On Terminals: The monoblock amplifier
features set-screw terminals for the power, ground, and remote turn-on
connections. A 2.5mm hex-wrench is supplied for tightening/loosening the
- Power and Ground: The JL Audio amplifier's set-screw Power and Ground connections are designed to accept 8 to 4 AWG power wire.
- Remote Turn-On: The JL Audio JX series amplifier's set-screw turn-on lead will accept 18 to 8 AWG wire.
Note: The amplifier is not equipped with a fuse. An external 50-amp AFS, AGU, or MAXI fuse (not included) must be installed on the power wire. If a wiring kit is used which includes a fuse with a value other than 50-amps, the original should be replaced with a 50-amp fuse.
- Speaker Output Terminals: The JL Audio JX500/1D features four set-screw speaker terminals for an easy parallel subwoofer connection. The monoblock amplifier's four set-screw speaker terminals will accept 16 to 8 AWG speaker wire. A 2.5mm hex-wrench is supplied for tightening/loosening the set-screws.
- Preamp Inputs: The monoblock amplifier features one set of stereo RCA input jacks. The amplifier features a dedicated Input Sensitivity gain control for these inputs. These controls are designed to match the input sensitivity of the JX500/1D to the specific signal source that is feeding it. The amplifier's low-level input can be set between 200mV-4V RMS.
- Speaker Level Inputs: The JL Audio JX500/1D also accepts speaker level signals, including those from factory systems (without the need for a line-output converter), via the supplied 10" speaker-level harness. The amplifier's high-level input can be set between 2V-10V RMS.
- Preamp Outputs: The JX500/1D incorporates a pass-through preamp output sections, so that additional amplifiers can easily be connected to the same signal feeding the monoblock amplifier. The preamp output signal is buffered to prevent noise.
Amplifier Dimensions:
- Width: 7.829"
- Height: 2.117"
- Depth: 7.67"
Dynamic Motor Analysis (DMA): DMA is JL Audio's proprietary method aimed at improving dynamic motor behavior. As a result of DMA optimization, 12W0v3-4 motors display linear force over a long excursion range, and also maintain a stable fixed magnetic field in the gap over a wide power range. The result is reduced distortion, faithfully reproduced transients, and tight, clean, articulate bass.
Elevated Frame Cooling: The elevated frame design of the 12W0v3-4 delivers cool air through slots directly above the top plate to the voice coil. This not only enhances power handling, but also sound quality by minimizing dynamic parameter shifts and power compression.
Rear Gasket: The woofer has a rear gasket to provide an optimal seal when installing into the enclosure.
Long Excursion: The 12W0v3-4 subwoofer has 11.4mm of linear excursion, giving you louder bass with less distortion.
Materials: The Sound Ordnance BB12-125S Bass Bunker is an unloaded, hatchback-style sealed enclosure for one 12" subwoofer. It is constructed of 5/8" MDF (medium-density fiberboard), covered in black carpet.
Internal Box Volume: The enclosure has 1.27 cubic feet of airspace.
Terminals: The BB12-125S is equipped with a pair of spring-post speaker terminals mounted in the rear panel. The spring terminals will accept bare wire up to 10 gauge, pin connectors, and single banana plugs, but are spaced too far apart for dual banana plugs. Inside the enclosure the terminal has an attached 21" length of speaker wire for connecting the subwoofer.
Brackets: Brackets for securing the enclosure to your vehicle are recommended.
Enclosure Dimensions:
- Width: 17.375"

Conservation Potential Assessment
Cowlitz PUD is required by law (I-937/EIA) to update its Conservation Potential Assessment (CPA) every two years and provide an energy efficiency/conservation analysis or assessment for a 10-year period. Energy Savings for a two-year period are taken from that 10-year estimate in this analysis to provide a target for the PUD.
The assessment or CPA tells us how much energy efficiency or conservation is available in our service territory. This analysis is performed using a lot of data including county building data, historical energy efficiency/conservation at the PUD and other local, state and regional data points.
Our CPA results informs the Board-adopted target for energy savings for a two-year period.
From here, the Energy Efficiency Services Department plans the effort to support customers and meet our legal obligations under this law.

Really, I dreamed that there was half a stick of butter tucked away in the back of my refrigerator.
Now, I haven't been eating butter or margarine lately because I don't want to waste the calories; I would rather use them on cookies or cake, you know, the important stuff.
For some reason the butter was of vital importance to me. (In the dream) Actor Boy and I are marathon watching the Walking Dead. We watched Fear the Walking Dead last week and have spent most of this week watching the series from the beginning.
We also went to see a play which was about the post apocalyptic society. The play proposed the idea that the bit of culture history and knowledge was based on the Simpson's.
The gist of it is, by the time a century had passed, the Simpson's had become an almost Shakespearean level of entertainment. I don't want to infringe on the playwright's intellectual property by saying too much about it, I just wanted to mention that it is similar to a concept I try to introduce to my students.
Culture simply means that which survives a society. What would we leave behind in the event of a mass disappearance? It's all just stories anyway, that and the meanings we give to the words that survive.
And today all I have to say is: Butter.
Oh and there was a mutant conjoined twin cockroach racing around the kitchen the other night. I smote them (it) with some lemon fragranced poison.

BOOK TOUR INTERVIEW: Turquoise, A Love Story by Ayshe Talay-Ongan
Welcome to my stop on the Turquoise book tour! Keep reading to find out more about the book and see my interview with the author, Ayshe Talay-Ongan.
Book Description
Set against transcendent love, unrelenting hatred and loyalties to friends and family, Turquoise is the story of an enduring and passionate love affair between Yasmin and Renan, which spans two decades, two marriages and three continents.
Yasmin and her Armenian classmate Ani were oblivious to ethnic differences during their school years in Istanbul. Years later they run into each other, and Ani introduces Renan, her husband, to Yasmin. At that moment under the blazing autumn skies, as Yasmin locks eyes with Renan, she knows that she has come upon her destiny. But political tensions in their land soon force Renan, her secret love, and his family to immigrate to Sydney.
A few years on, Yasmin's diplomat father is appointed as the Turkish Consul General to Los Angeles where the family faces a devastating tragedy that will impact their lives in ways unfathomable. She is now forced to make a choice between passion that defines her and reason that guides her.
When so much is stacked against Yasmin and Renan, how can love possibly triumph?
1. Tell us a little about yourself.
I am a psychologist and have been a university professor as well as a therapist for many years. My earlier books were work related textbooks. When I retired, I embraced the chance to write the books I always wanted to write!
2. What made you want to become a writer?
I can't draw, I can't read maps, I can't paint; in other words, none of those right brain functions work for me. But writing is a joy and comes to me with ease, bearing gifts. I am grateful to be a wordsmith.
3. Who or what gives you inspiration?
When I started writing fiction, I was inspired by my life experiences but it was so wonderful to be able to take liberties inventing stories, too!
4. Tell us about Turquoise.
It is an authentic love saga, one in which we accompany Yasmin, the protagonist, on her journey of pursuing the love of her life as she struggles with ethical and moral dilemmas that it brings. Her struggles are many; loyalty to friends and family and ethnic conflict, prime among them. Meanwhile, she builds her professional practices, builds her wealth, gets into a listless marriage and becomes a mother despite all odds. Love is at the core of TURQUOISE — love of man, love of land, love of friends and family and love of job.
5. What's the hardest part of being a writer?
Hardest part for me these days is not finding enough time to write!
6. What do you need around you to write (special drink, lucky items, etc)?
I love it when my cat Simba sits on his red cat blanket and purrs on my desk, but I can write as long as I don't have back spasms.
7. What are some of your favorite books?
I'll just tell you a few of the recent gems I've read: Jeff Eugenides' Middlesex was wonderful, as was Susan Johnson's My Hundred Lovers. Franzen's Corrections always tops my list, and Louis de Bernier's Birds Without Wings.
8. Are your characters based on anyone you know?
Yes, yes, yes…I must confess. In Turquoise, the characters are drawn from real life as I know it, Yasmin and all…
9. What, if anything, are you working on right now?
The sequel to TURQUOISE, which is entitled EMERALD: The Sydney Years
10. Why do you love writing?
Because I have stories to tell. Also because it comes to me relatively effortlessly, and I have wonderful mentors I collaborate with. Writing for me is a celebration of life and expressing gratitude for the abundance that has been my lot in life.

In the days leading up to Drake's second annual Houston Appreciation Weekend, the rapper teased that the festivities wouldn't end on Monday night. On his Instagram, Drake promised Houstonians that a mysterious "new dance experience" called The Ballet was "here to stay." We were intrigued – after all, this is the man who has had both Rihanna and Nicki Minaj grind up on him, so he probably knows a thing or two about innovative dancing.
Then, at a pop-up gala held Monday night at the Toyota Center, Drake announced that The Ballet is, in fact, the name of a permanent club he plans to open up in Houston. "There's a culture out there of dancing and it's not about no strip club shit," Drake announced from a DJ booth in a video of the event. The Ballet will be "about these amazing women that we got in one spot, this music that we got, this Houston culture that we got," he said. "And I just want to let you know that, me, I'm here to bring it to you in the most honest and genuine way possible."
But, despite Drake's pronouncement, is bringing Houston dancing to the masses in an "honest and genuine way" really just code for "Hey, I'm opening an expensive strip club"? That's how most of the Internet took it, as headlines like "Drake is Opening a 'Classy' Strip Club in Houston" dominated the web Tuesday.
Yet, as self-respecting reporters here at the Houston Press, we never take anything or anyone at face value – so we looked up the definition of "strip club." Turns out, this is a heated area of scholarly debate (at least on sites like Urban Dictionary): Do women have to actually remove their clothes in order for a venue to qualify as a strip club, or is erotic dancing enough?
We Believe Local Journalism is Critical to the Life of a City
Engaging with our readers is essential to the mission of the Houston Press. Make a financial contribution or sign up for a newsletter, and help us keep telling Houston's stories with no paywalls.

The pop-up version of The Ballet certainly meets the latter definition. Music blasted throughout the darkly lit room as thong-clad women roamed and danced on poles, according to Instagram videos. Okay, sure, one lady seems to be wearing a leotard and tutu as she performs an aerial dance, but we're going to guess she's not an off-duty prima ballerina. (Even though her moves looked awesome.) Videos also featured showers of dollar bills raining down on partygoers, which – though not mentioned by the academics on Urban Dictionary – is often another clue that you can use to determine if you are, in fact, in a strip club.
Ultimately, what makes a true strip club is an immortal question that may never be truly answered. But Drake is a documented lover of Houston's strip clubs – he even name-checks a stripper at a joint called Treasures in his album Nothing Was the Same, which we wrote about in a 2013 article. More recently, in 2015, Drake and Rihanna reportedly dropped $17,000 together at V Live Gentlemen's Club, according to E! News .
Yet maybe that cash was just a research investment, since Drake says he wants to do something unusual with The Ballet. "Tonight is a different take on how it should be done in Houston. Treat yourself don't cheat yourself. Where the women are on a pedestal and the surroundings are unforgettable," he wrote on Instagram, beside a photo of heeled ballet slippers. (Get it? It's a "different take" on shoes.)
We guess that we'll have to wait till early 2017, when Drake says The Ballet will open, for answers to our burning questions. In the meantime, start counting your dollar bills so you can make it rain at the

Tucker, 53, replaces Emil Turner, who announced Aug. 2 his intention to retire in 2013. Tucker has served as team leader of the convention's evangelism and church growth team since 1997. Turner has served as executive director since 1996.
Don Blackmore, discipleship pastor at Central Baptist Church in Jonesboro, who serves as chairman of the ABSC Operating Committee, said Tucker possesses qualities the committee was looking for in a new executive director.
"We were looking for someone who would continue to serve the churches of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention," he said, adding, "A second quality we looked for was somebody that would continue with an evangelistic zeal, keeping Dr. Turner's theme, 'More people in heaven and less people in hell.' So we wanted to continue that focus as well. Another quality that we were looking for was someone who understood the churches of Arkansas.
" felt very confident that after that interview process with him that he was God's person."
Following his election, Tucker received a standing ovation from members of the Executive Board. Members of the Operating Committee surrounded Tucker and his wife Nicki as Blackmore prayed.
"I think the Operating Committee and the board made a wonderful choice. Sonny is quintessential Arkansas," Turner said following Tucker's election. "He is an Arkansas pastor's pastor. He loves Arkansas churches. He'll lead well, and he'll set a great tone for the state convention."
Gary Hollingsworth, president of the ABSC Executive Committee and pastor at Immanuel Baptist Church in Little Rock, said Tucker knows Arkansas well.
"In addition to his experience and his knowledge of the churches and the leaders around our state, it struck me very clearly that -- while he has done a wonderful job leading evangelism -- he has a real vision for where we need to go in the future," Hollingsworth said.
"He also has great relationships built around our larger Southern Baptist Convention family, which is important because he'll be a part of that network of the other state conventions," he continued. "He was a wise choice because of the fact that he knows Arkansas, but he's already well-respected around our convention."
"These are challenging times for conventions," said Rex Horne, president of Ouachita Baptist University, where Tucker received an undergraduate degree. "It is a challenging time for our country, and he'll come in and give us good leadership, strong leadership, collaborative and creative leadership; that, I think, is going to really set us up well for years to come."
Tucker said following his election he wants to continue "the great foundation that Dr. Turner has laid" working with Arkansas Baptist churches.
He said he wants to see Arkansas Baptists make "big strides" in evangelism, missions and church planting.
"Arkansans know Arkansas Baptist convention churches are kind, gracious and caring. I want to know that we stand for Jesus and the Word of God and that we really, really love folks," Tucker said. "We want to stay focused on Arkansas, with a strong sense of family and a strong sense of partnership with the churches."
Tucker told the Arkansas Baptist News in a story published Jan. 26 that evangelism and church growth has always been his passion.
"I perfected a proficient system of cold call or door-knocking evangelism," Tucker said. "It involved friendship making, praying for spiritual needs and sharing the Gospel."
Tucker said he believes Arkansas Baptists must develop personal evangelism skills, as well as reach out through event evangelism, to effectively reach people in the 21st century with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In addition, he said while it is necessary to affirm the cultural diversity of today's society, some methods will reach across those boundaries.
"The most effective vehicle is through ministry, service, friendship and acts of love and kindness," he said.
All of Tucker's pastoral experience has been in Arkansas churches. Prior to joining the ABSC staff, he was pastor of Second Baptist Church in Monticello from 1994 to 1997. His other pastorates were at West Helena Baptist Church, West Helena, 1991-94; Fair Oaks Baptist Church, Fair Oaks, 1988-91; and Shady Grove Baptist Church, Sparkman, 1981-88. He was youth director at Antioch Baptist Church in Hot Springs from 1980-81.
Tucker completed a doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) degree at Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary in 1998. His major field of study was missiology with a focus on evangelism and church growth. Tucker also received a master of divinity degree from Mid-America in 1992. He completed undergraduate degrees in pastoral ministries and speech and communications from Ouachita Baptist University in 1983.
He and his wife are members of First Baptist Church in Benton and have two grown children, Megan and Curt.
Tim Yarbrough is editor of the Arkansas Baptist News (www.arkansasbaptist.org), newsjournal of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention.

The Cycle of Language
The Cycle of Language
Languages are just like humans. As humans are born, unite, and die, languages are born, are sometimes merged, are constantly changing, and die. Again, similar to humans, natural human languages go through a cycle. The cycle of language, or more technically the Cycle of Grammaticalization, describes the stages that a language goes through in its life. To examine what stages a language go through, a little knowledge of linguistics will be helpful.
Natural languages are generally divided into three categories: agglutinative, isolating/analytic, fusional/synthetic. Both agglutinative and fusional/synthetic languages express grammatical features with affixes (words that are attached to another word). An agglutinative language encode only one grammatical meaning per one morpheme (a smallest understandable unit of word). For example, Korean verbs employ infixes to conjugate verbs to reflect tense and honorifics (존댓말 in Korean; used to encode the speaker's respectful attitude toward the listener), as in 던지-시-었-다 'threw.' 던지- contains the meaning 'to throw' and -시- encodes one feature, honorifics. Similarly, -었- encodes the past tense. As one can observe, one morpheme encodes one meaning in agglutinative languages. Fusional languages such as Spanish and French have more than one meaning to one affix. For instance, Spanish comí 'I ate' has -í affix, which indicates 1st person singular, past tense, and indicative mood. Isolating/analytic languages are quite different in that they do not use affixes to encode grammatical features such as tense, mood, etc. Instead they simply add another free standing word to express such meanings. For example, take Mandarin Chinese. wǒ chī fàn 'I eat/ate' does not inflect to encode past tense, but only by adding a time stamp, the sentence becomes past: wǒ chī fàn zuótiān 'I ate yesterday.' To summarize, there are three morphological types: agglutinative (one meaning per affix), fusional/synthetic (multiple meanings per affix), and isolating/analytic (no affix).
The Cycle of Grammaticalization involves all three types of languages, which means that at one point in time most languages will go through each of the three types. To mention just a few languages, English is at around 4 o'clock in the clock representation and is on the verge of becoming an isolating language like Mandarin Chinese. Such change is apparent if one compares Shakespearean English and modern English. Shakespeare would say Thou lovest me but modern English speakers would say You love me. The entire conjugation to mark second person singular is lost. Mandarin Chinese is actually moving toward agglutinative language at around 5 o'clock. Such trend manifests itself in constructions like le, which is attached to a verb and adds a meaning of completion; such attachment is agglutinative and not isolating.
The fact that languages evolve in cyclic fashion is fascinating and is a useful tool in predicting how a language might change in the future.

Central Districts took just over 30 overs on the fourth day to beat Wellington by 243 runs at Nelson Park in Napier. But the margin of victory doesn't tell the entire story. At one point Central Districts were in trouble at 66 for 6 in their second innings. It took a 187-run stand between wicketkeeper Kruger van Wyk and seamer Doug Bracewell to set Wellington a target of 405 in the fourth innings.
Joshua Brodie and Cameron Merchant played confidently at the end of day three to set up an interesting last day with Wellington needing 344 more to win with nine wickets in hand. Central Districts' opening bowlers Michael Mason and Ben Wheeler quickly made it a one-horse race, though. Wheeler dismissed Brodie and Neal Parlane off consecutive balls before Mason struck twice in two overs to reduce Wellington to 79 for 5. Wheeler and Mason both finished with three wickets apiece, as did left-arm fast bowler Mitchell McClenaghan, who wiped out Wellington's tail.
The win was set up by van Wyk and Bracewell in the third innings, after Central Districts had taken a 87-run lead in the first innings. Both fell in sight of well-deserved centuries. Andrew Lamb took both wickets to return with figures of 6 for 70 in the second innings.
Wicketkeeper Joe Austin-Smellie took six catches in the first innings, while a steady 80 off 141 balls from Brad Patton helped Central District reach 293. Wheeler took 6 for 60 in Wellington's first innings to give Central District the advantage, before Van Wyk and Bracewell set up the win.
Otago and Northern Districts began the season with a draw as batting seemed to gradually become easier at the Queenstown Events Centre. Otago's decision to bat ran into early trouble as seamer Graeme Aldridge prised out early wickets to leave them stuttering at 38 for 4 and later 84 for 5, before Sam Wells and Derek de Boorder began to resist. Wells struck 14 fours and a six in his 70 that came off 97 balls while de Boorder fell eight short of a maiden first-class ton after steering his side past 300. Aldridge finished with six wickets.
Northern Districts' reply featured several significant contributions, but none that was substantial enough for a huge lead. Six batsmen scored over 31, but the highest score was Joseph Yovich's 61, after opener Brad Wilson made 60. Neil Wagner did the most damage, finishing with figures of 6 for 55 as Norther Districts finished 74 ahead. Otago's second innings too began in shaky fashion and, at 33 for 4 early on the third morning, they were in a tight spot. The Broom brothers, Neil and Darren, however came together to steer them to safety. The pair added 252 runs for the fifth wicket before Darren fell for 112. Neil pressed on with the tail to reach a double-hundred that included 22 fours and a six before Otago declared, setting Northern Districts 365 to win in around half a day's play. The visitors chose caution over valour, with openers Brad Wilson and Daniel Flynn scoring steady half-centuries, as the game petered into a draw.
Canterbury and Auckland were involved in a game of fluctuating fortunes that eventually ended in a stalemate at Village Green in Christchurch. Canterbury chose to bat and began in determined fashion as Rob Nicol, supported by Michael Papps and Rob Nicol, laid the foundation for a big score. Nicol made 75 before No. 5 Dean Brownlie took charge of the innings with an assured 151 off 248 balls inclusive of 18 fours. Reece Young and Todd Astle chipped in with significant contributions to push the score to 435 for 9 when the hosts decided to declare.
Auckland's innings began in disastrous fashion, with Ryan McCone removing both openers for ducks. Things got progressively worse from there and, at 29 for 4, Canterbury would have nursed hopes of pushing for an innings win. Colin de Grandhomme began the resistance along with Anaru Kitchen, the pair adding 76 to weather the storm. Kyle Mills stepped up after de Grandhomme's exit, contributing 69, while Kitchen reached his maiden first-class ton before Auckland were bowled out for 289, conceding a 146-run lead. Micahael Papps and Peter Fulton led Canterbury's second innings with half-centuries, before offspinner Bhupinder Singh stalled them with four cheap wickets. The hosts declared at 187 for 7, setting Auckland a target of 334 with most of the final day's play remaining. Auckland began with a draw in mind, but Bradley Cachopa and Andrew de Boorder scored fluent half-centuries that might have left Canterbury sweating. Mills joined in the fun again, scoring 45 off 52 balls, but it was not enough to force a result.

British Airways has stated it is going to retire all of the Boeing of its 747s since it suffers from the sharp travel downturn.
The UK air carrier could be the earth's premier operator of jumbo planes, with 31 within the fleet.
"It is by using great despair that we are able to verify we're proposing retiring our entire 747 fleet with instant effect," a BA spokesman informed the BBC.
Airlines throughout the world have been hit difficult by coronavirus related travel restrictions.
"It is unlikely our magnificent' queen of the skies' are going to manage commercial companies for British Airways again as a result of the downturn found traveling due to the Covid-19 global pandemic," the spokesman added.
Countless Gatwick jobs to go within BA restructure
Critical Boeing 737 Max test flights begin
Virgin Atlantic rescue helps save countless jobs
BA, which is owned by International Airlines Group (IAG), mentioned the planes will all be retired with instantaneous outcome. The 747s stand for about 10 % of BA's total fleet.
The first Boeing 747 flight got site deeply in February 1969
It had become the first aeroplane dubbed a "jumbo jet"
BOAC, British Airways' predecessor, operated its very first 747 flight, flying by using London'to New York, inside 1971
Speediest using professional plane, by way of a premier velocity of just over 650mph 3.5 billion passengers transported inside 50 years
First aircraft to get on a plane London'to Sydney non-stop inside 1989 It'd planned on retiring the planes within 2024 but has brought forward the date due to the downturn.
According to move data firm Cirium you will find about 500 747s still in service, of which thirty are actively flying passengers. More than 300 fly luggage as well as the remainder are located in storage.
A deluxe BA might no longer afford The Boeing 747 is actually beautiful, distinctive and has fifty years of extremely pleased service right behind it. But – as being a passenger airplane roughly – it is also quite just outdated.
A four-engine aircraft, it's far less efficient than modern day twin engine models, such as the Airbus A350, the 787 Dreamliner, or even perhaps the earlier Boeing 777 – each one of which are more affordable to use.
Before the Covid 19 crisis, the penning was on the wall. Airlines like Air France, United and Delta had actually retired the fleets of theirs.
BA had here planned to make use of them for yet another couple of years. However the crisis inside the industry implies a future in which there will be a lot fewer passengers, a lesser amount of planes – and also holding expenses lower will be vital.
Thus the airline has decided the queen of this skies is actually a deluxe it can not anymore easily afford.
British Airways' predecessor BOAC started flying 747s during the early 1970s. BA is now flying the 747 400 version of the long range aircraft.
It's presently the world's greatest operator of first and 747-400s called for distribution of them in July 1989. Originally, the top deck contained a lounge that was known while the "club inside the sky".
The British carrier included it would manage a lot more flights on modern, much more fuel-efficient planes like the new Airbus A350s of its and Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
It expects them to inspire it accomplish net-zero co2 emissions by 2050.

Boeing's 747 aided democratise worldwide fresh air traveling within the 1970s, as well as marked its 50 year flying anniversary found February 2019.
A wave of restructuring caused through the virus outbreak is actually hitting airlines throughout the world, together with plane makers and their companies. Thousands of furloughs and job losses have been announced within the newest weeks.
Up to 12,000 BA team members, including pilots cabin crew, engineers as well as ground team members are actually facing redundancy simply because commercial airline slashes costs inside the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
Picture caption Captain Douglas Redrup of BOAC stands with people in the flight crew of his just before taking from on the first regular flight.
What happens to retired planes?
Specialist organizations analyze whether or not aircraft must be salvaged or scrapped. Frequently they're dismantled and their parts marketed on for scrap or recycled. Almost all of the great is in the engines.
Most are also removed out there as they've valuable interiors. In some instances, private many people and aged airliners are invest ined by entrepreneurs to convert them in to hotels, joints as well as tourist attractions.
Those remedies that happen to be scrapped can wind up to come down with massive aircraft graveyards in the dress where they are available for storage.

I find there are several ways you can approach composing and they all feel different. In many ways, this comes back to difference between planners and pantsers, terms affectionately used by authors to describe people who begin their writing by planning the book (planners) and people who just throw themselves in a 'write by the seat of their pants' (pantsers).
With regards to composing, the same two seem to exist. I know several composers who plan the architecture of their work in advance, but personally I normally find this too abstract to invoke any really excitement or interest in actually writing the work.
However, one thing that I believe effects composers much more than authors is the interface they use to compose. For example, a compose can write by hand with pen and paper at a desk, or by hand with pen and paper at an instrument, or directly into a typesetting program, or using a Digital Audio Workstation (Aka Logic or Fruity Loops etc).
I have recently started exploring using a DAW as an initial way of capturing ideas through improvisation, something I'm interested in pursuing further over the next few years of my PhD, if only to be proficient at using them in case I get the chance to do any film work. What I noticed, however, is that using a daw as an interface requires you to think differently, and you run into different obstacles and limitations. This lead me to thinking further about the other two methods of composing that I have used (pen & paper at a desk, and pen & paper at the piano). I would summarise my feelings about these three modes of composing as follows:
Composing by hand at a desk: Counterpoint
Composing by hand at a piano: Homphony (Melody & Accompaniment)
Composing at a DAW: Layers
Working at a DAW is quite a different way of thinking than working at a piano. The main reason for this is that your main method of input is through performance on a midi keyboard, the software capturing in real-time what you're playing. What makes this interesting is that you're somewhat forced to think in terms of layers. You have to lay down each track one at a time.
There's also an inherent technical disadvantage to anyone not highly proficient at the piano (like me); Your entries will only be as complicated as your technical capabilities will allow, where as, writing at a piano, you only need to work at a pace of probably 6-10bpm, and there's very few people who can't achieve similar blistering speeds regardless of their age or training.
The main problem I find with writing like this is that you start with an initial idea you want to lay down, perhaps it's an accompaniment figure. Great. But at some point, that figure will change, but you (or I, at least) wont know where that point will be until you've recorded a melody. Or if you start with the melody, you know that your harmony may want to wander, but you wont know how or to where until you write it. So it feels a bit chicken-and-the-egg for me.
Essentially, you end up with a string over overlapping layers. (See the image below) It's quite an interesting musical approach, and I find it to be a really fun way to play around and create interesting sonorities. For me, it feels like a logical next step for composers who use improvisation as a way of generating musical material, giving you the ability to improvise not just with melody and harmony (say at a piano) but with timbre and texture as well.
Here is an excerpts of something I was having fun with in logic. This is just a few brass chords followed by tubular bells that are suspended out of the brass. I like the effect. This is the sort of timbral and textural improvising that you can do which doesn't naturally arise from piano improvisation:
There are several further benefits. Some sample libraries can give you the access to a virtual instrument in place of a real instrument to experiment with, and as a virtual instrument is really just an instrument that has been recorded and programmed to respond to midi input, it could be a useful way of exploring an instrument's sonic capabilities. A perfect example of this is the IRCAM Prepared Piano which you can prepare however you like and then play with using a midi keyboard.
At the moment, my composing method can be described as "Butt on seat at the piano and write what comes up". It works well for me. I could extend this somewhat by using sound libraries to enhance the feedback I get from the piano, but I'm not sure that it's really necessary as I can always hit play on StaffPad and get that feedback with the playback.
However, I've always been somewhat captivated by the promise of freedom that sound libraries offer for composers. The ordinary way of writing requires you to hear and notate something, and produce a polished score, then (unless you're well established) find musicians to realise that score. As a young composer, finding musos to realise a work is probably one of the worst things about being a composer. Not because there aren't wonderful musicians, but because my instrumentalist peers are normally very busy with their own musical pursuits, and because paying them what they deserve to be paid to rehearse and perform/record is virtually impossible for me. Imagine trying to pay a Symphony Orchestra to rehearse and record a work. We're talking tens of thousands of dollars.
So the freedom promised by Sample Libraries is that you can more directly go from your imagination to a finished recording that people can hear. Sadly, getting Samples to sound even vaguely convincing requires both a very good sound library and a considerable amount of tweaking, and some very solid hardware with which to run your DAW and sample libraries if you're working on large projects.
None the less, it's something I think I'd like to explore because it is a different way of relating to music, and as I talked about in a different post, writing music is, for me, about holding a mirror up to our consciousness to see what's there, and exploring this may well be the opportunity to hold a new mirror up and see what happens.
The most common way I write at the moment is to sit at the piano and write. While I've written by hand on several occasions, I find writing at a piano to be the most engaging process, because it brings the performance and improvisation element into connection with the notation element, where just writing by hand feels quite disconnected from actually playing music. The feeling of physical movement is quite an important part of music making for me. Musical gesture is very physical, the tension and release is felt physically, and it's easier to sense and experience that through actually making music than it is just sitting at a desk.
When working this way, there is generally a sense of flow and being 'in the zone' which I also find hard when writing purely by hand. To be honest, I think I just find writing music at a desk a horribly boring thing to do. The same is true of working at a desk using Finale. It feels like doing homework more than writing music. But at the piano, each new sound and direction the music goes in is exciting and intriguing.
One other common way of making music is through improvising and transcribing those improvisations – or parts of them – to make works. I know quite a lot of composers for whom this is the first point of departure when making music.
This is something I have tried as well, but often find vaguely overwhelming. There's just too many ideas often!
Another thought that occurs to me as well, is that a large part of why I enjoy writing is finding out what's going to happen next. Just like if someone tells you the end of a book, it kind of ruins the experience for you, I think part of me actively tries not to think ahead because I want to be captivated by that musical journey as it unfolds. I want to experience and enjoy its unfolding. Perhaps this is also why I resist planning music; If I know what's going to happen it's no longer exciting, but instead becomes more of a chore where I'm merely filling in the blanks and connecting the dots.
When improvising, ideas often unfold in an intuitive way, but once that unfolding has happened, I don't really feel compelled to sit down and turn them into notation so much, and if I do, I feel like I'm transcribing more than composing. That's not totally accurate, and somewhat of an overstatement of things, but to some degree that's how it feels.
I'm hoping that exploring improvising using Sample Libraries and a DAW etc could help a bit with capturing the excitement of improvising, and make me think and explore timbrally in addition to melodically and harmonically, all the while minimising the gap between the composing and the transcribing components.
I think one of the products of my PhD could be an album of works made solely using a DAW and Sample Libraries, along with notated scores of the works. That'd be fun!!

Selling Garage Sale Finds: Tips for Making Extra Cash
Is This the Job for You?
First of all, do you like garage sales? My wife hates them. She wouldn't go to a "garbage" sale if they were giving away gold nuggets.
But if you already enjoy wandering from sale to sale, this job will hardly feel like work. Some people like spending a summer Saturday looking for bargains and unique finds. Why not monetize your hobby?
Do you live in a target-rich area? Does your neighborhood commonly bloom with sales on the weekend? Can you easily get to a number of spots to shop? Even better if you live in a year-round temperate climate. Up north, garage sales are a summer thing. In places where it doesn't snow, garage sales happen all year.
Do you have experience with some of the things you might sell? Knowing your niche is critical. People with knowledge in fashion, electronics, classic music or vintage video games have an advantage. If you don't know, learn.
You need a plan. Wandering around is not businesslike. Create a map of sales you can hit and pick the most efficient route.
How do you find sales? You can go old school with the classified ads or use one of many modern tools:
- Craigslist
- YardSaleSearch.com
- GarageSalesTracker.com
- Gsalr.com
- YardSaleTreasureMap.com
- GarageSaleGal.com
Plot a course in your phone, but not every sale will be advertised. Be flexible enough to stray from your course to investigate surprises.
Read about what each sale has. Some may specifically state vintage clothes, records, tools or games. Do some research on those categories so you know what those items are worth.
Apps such as eBay, ShopSavvy and PriceGrabber will help you estimate values of things you find. You can even scan a barcode if the item has one.
Try to look subtle, though. Approach the sale casually and not like a cunning buyer trying to flip extra junk for a fortune. This will lower the seller's defenses and make bargaining easier.
Now that you're prepared, it is time to get to work. Set your alarm because the early bird gets the worm, the Mickey Mantle baseball glove and the mint Atari 2600.
Be ready to hit the first sale around 7 or 8 AM. Have a couple hundred bucks on you in small bills. When you haggle the price down from $50 to $20, it's awkward to ask for change for a crisp fifty.
You won't be the only one at the sale digging for treasure, so be decisive. If you're not sure if you want an item, carry it around the sale while you look up the value. Don't turn your back on it.
Have boxes and protective packaging. You don't want to find a valuable vase only to have it shatter in your trunk. Make sure you bring a vehicle that can accommodate a big score. If you think you will snag a table saw or a lawn mower, bring the truck.
Don't be afraid to ask questions. Get the story behind vintage items. It will add value when you sell them later. Have the seller plug in electric items to be sure they work. Look into the battery compartments of electronics and check for corrosion.
If you're hunting for jewelry, bring a scale. You may be selling the items to be melted down. Know the value of gold per ounce and use that to determine your offer.
You won't hit it big every weekend, so keep your expectations low. You shouldn't rely on this to eat. That takes the fun out of it. Consider it a treasure hunt that could leave you with either fistfuls of gold or sand.
What should you look out for? "Anything you can sell for a profit," most hunters say. Truly, you never know what you will run into. Your own experience will make you feel confident in certain buys.
Some big money makers include:
- Electronics, such as computer components, video games and consoles, cameras, stereo equipment and GPS units. Just make sure they work.
- Power tools of all kinds.
- Tires, wheels and other car parts.
- Clothes, both vintage and new trendy items.
- Toys. Parents are always happy to clean out closets for cheap.
- Books, DVDs, CDs, cassettes and records.
- Musical instruments and PA equipment.
Where Do I Sell It All?
eBay is definitely the giant in the industry and many experts are willing to share tips. However, you should try multiple sources to see who bites and what works best for you. Amazon is even bigger, but more suited for common items. Craigslist is still a good choice. New apps like LetGo, OfferUp and Swapit get your products in front of a wide range of buyers.
Photographing, packaging and selling your items are a huge topic, however. I'll get into that later.
Until then get out there, have fun and score some wonderful finds.

The story of Chaumet, the first Parisian jeweler to open on the Place Vendôme, began in 1780. For more than two centuries, the House has continually embodied creativity and excellence.
Creation date: 1780
Chairman: Jean-Marc Mansvelt
Head office: 12, place Vendôme, 75001 Paris - France
2020欧洲杯小组赛赛程Chaumet's founder Marie-Etienne Nitot was Emperor Napoleon I's official jeweler and created tiaras and formal jewelry for Empress Josephine and, later, Empress Marie-Louise, as well as fashion jewelry and personal pieces. The workshop masters' savoir-faire, which has been passed down from generation to generation, is a testimony to the creativity and excellence that define the House. It is Joseph Chaumet, head of the workshop and indisputable master of the Belle Epoque, who gave his name to the House and whose townhouse at number 12, Place Vendôme houses its high jewelry workshop and design studio. At this prestigious address, Chaumet creates precious jewelry and watch collections that reflect Parisian elegance and excellence. Chaumet is a responsible jeweler committed to ethical practices: it has been a member of the Responsible Jewellery Council since 2005 and has been certified since 2011.
2020欧洲杯小组赛赛程 A precious echo of the taste of its muse, the Joséphine collection perpetuates this graceful and elegant style that is characteristic of Maison Chaumet. An alliance of delicate drawing with flamboyant stones, this collection revisits two hundred and thirty years of expert tradition with contemporary creativity.
2020欧洲杯小组赛赛程At Chaumet, it all begins with a sketch, which the House's gemologists then use to select the stones. Chosen for their quality, rarity or the emotion that they inspire, they are then sculpted into brilliant, cushion, oval or emerald cuts, or pear, the House's signature cut. It is only once they are cut that the gems, bathed in light, reveal their true beauty. From the sketch to the finished piece, jewelers, setters, polishers and engravers will each take their turn to bring the jewelry to life. Time is a central factor in the House's equation, with a creation sometimes mobilizing the craftsmen for more than 2,000 hours of work. Deep within the high jeweler's workshop in Place Vendôme – a veritable laboratory of creativity and innovation for all its collections – assured, precise actions carried out exclusively by hand perpetuate a savoir-faire that the workshop masters have been handing down for more than two centuries.
2020欧洲杯小组赛赛程Today, Chaumet is continuing to develop internationally within the LVMH group, with more than 82 stores situated in major capitals and large cities in Europe, the Middle East, Japan and Asia-Pacific. The new jewelry and watch designs reflect Chaumet's exceptional savoir-faire, which enhances gems and precious metals from socially and ecologically responsible sources, in accordance with the RJC (Responsible Jewellery Council) certification and the Kimberley Process, which guarantees the ethical origin of rough diamonds.

"Childbearing women need to understand that maternity care that is routinely available often is not in the best interest of themselves and their babies. Pregnant women have the right and responsibility to become informed and make wise choices — for example, their choice of caregiver, birth setting and specific procedures, drugs and tests. Becoming informed and taking responsibility can be a big task — and can have very big pay-offs."
