Admissions Criteria
Thank you for your interest in ICS. Please review the list below to see whether your child meets the admissions criteria.
- Rolling Admissions
- Age / Grade Placement
- Learning Support
- English Language Requirements
- Valid Passes
- Immunization Requirements
- Academic Assessments
Rolling Admissions
ICS publishes our application for the new academic year in February, and we start accepting new students in mid-March.
We accept students in pre-kindergarten (K4) to 8th grade throughout the year on a rolling basis dependent on space availability. All new students must start school by March 31st.
Students in 9th to 11th grades can start school twice a year at the beginning of each semester in August and January. Students in 12th grade can start school in August at the beginning of semester 1 only.*
*If you are moving to Singapore in the middle of 12th grade, please contact our admissions office.
Age / Grade Placement
This age chart is a good starting point for determining your child's grade level. Since students are joining ICS from various countries and educational systems around the world, the final decision about grade placement is dependent on a variety of factors. Our Admissions team in conjunction with the school principal will holistically review your child's school reports, academic assessment, letter of recommendation, English language ability, and special support needed to determine which grade your child will be the most successful in here at ICS.
As a general rule, students coming from a school system with a different academic calendar year (e.g. South Korea, Singapore, India, Japan, Australia, New Zealand) will continue in their current grade level when they enter ICS and will not be allowed to skip ahead. Parents can request that their student be assessed to skip half a grade. However, ICS reserves the right to make the decision about final grade placement.
ICS (Singapore)
Age (before Sep 1)
Learning Support
ICS offers limited services at a small additional fee for students with special learning needs or specific learning disabilities. If your child has specialized schooling requirements, please provide our admissions team with documentation of these needs and the reasons for the requirements. Our primary goal is to make sure that we can support your child and set them up for success here at ICS. We will only offer your child admission if there is a match between your child's needs and the level of support we can provide.
Please feel free to contact our Admissions department directly if your child is currently receiving support for academic, social/emotional, or behavioral concerns or if you feel they may need to. We would be happy to discuss your child's particular needs and review any documentation you may have before you begin the application process.
English Language Requirements
English is the primary language of classroom instruction and community life at ICS. If English is not your child's native language, they may need to take a grade-appropriate English Language Proficiency Assessment before applying. To set your child up for the best chance at success here at ICS, we have established the following English Language proficiency requirements:
Pre-Kindergarten (K4) and Kindergarten (K5)
Children entering our Pre-Kindergarten (K4) and Kindergarten (K5) classes do not need to be formally assessed for English language abilities. At this young age, we have found that language acquisition is developed naturally because your child is immersed in an English-language environment.
Grade 1 to Grade 8
Children entering grades 1 to 8 must be at an intermediate English level to be eligible to apply. If they score at an intermediate level, they will be required to participate in our ESL program. This program requires a small additional fee and is limited to a small number of students each year. If ESL is required, our Admissions Team will confirm that there is space available in your child's grade before starting the application process.
Grade 9 to Grade 12
Students entering grades 9 to 12 must be at a proficient English level to be eligible to apply. ICS does not have an ESL program at our high school level.
Scheduling your English Language Proficiency Assessment
If your child is not a native English speaker or has not completed a significant part of their educational experience in an English language setting, our English Language Proficiency Assessment is required.
Please contact our helpful Admissions Team to schedule your child's assessment. The cost is S$250 payable at the time of testing, and this fee is not refundable under any circumstance. Please review our Tuition and Fees and Financial Information if you have further questions.
All assessments are conducted on campus at ICS and take approximately 2 hours. We will assess their English abilities in reading, writing, speaking and listening.
If your child does not meet the minimum English requirement, they will not be allowed to apply and must wait 6 months before retesting.
Valid Passes
To join ICS, please make sure that your child holds one of the following valid passes:
- Dependent Pass
- Exemption Order or Diplomatic Pass
- Singapore Permanent Residency (PR)
- Student Pass
- Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE) approval letter for Singapore citizens to study at ICS.
We regret to inform you that your child will not be allowed to enter school or remain in school with an invalid or expired pass.
Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE) Approval for Singaporean Citizens
Children aged 4 to 5 (Pre-kindergarten (K4) and Kindergarten (K5)) who are Singaporean citizens do not require MOE approval.
In accordance with Singapore law, students aged 6 or older who are Singapore citizens must be granted approval by the Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE) to study at ICS.
Our Admissions Team will submit the necessary documentation to the MOE before a place at ICS has been formally offered. Please allow 8 - 12 weeks for this process.
Student Pass
Children will require a Student Pass if:
- Their parents are permanent residents of Singapore, but the child is not.
- The child is currently residing in Singapore on a Long Term Visit Pass (LTVP).
- Neither parent has an employment pass.
- The child is not eligible for a Dependent Pass.
- Your child is changing to ICS from another school in Singapore where they currently hold a Student Pass.
After your child has been accepted, our Admissions Team will assist you through the Student Pass registration process. Parents are responsible for completing and submitting all necessary information through the Singapore Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA)'s Student Pass Online Application & Registration+ (SOLAR+) system. Please allow at least one month for this process. Your child will not be allowed to attend school until they have received their Student Pass.
Applications for a new student pass and its renewal require a considerable amount of time. Some applicants may experience complications, delay, and even rejection. Approval of a Student pass is solely the decision of ICA and the school does not have any authority or influences over it. Student Pass issued is not transferable and will expire upon the student ceasing to be a Student of ICS.
Immunization Requirements
At ICS, we care for every child's well-being and health. In accordance with the Singapore National Childhood Immunization Schedule (National Immunization Registry) and law of the country, ICS requires that ALL students MUST be immunized for the following:
- Measles*, Mumps, Rubella (MMR or MMR-V) - (2 doses)
- Diphtheria*, Tetanus and Pertussis (DTaP, DTP, DT or Tdap) - (4-5 doses)
The original immunization record must be provided to the school prior to enrollment for verification.
As of 1 February 2019, it is mandatory that all children aged 12 and below who were not born in Singapore must provide evidence of the Singapore required immunizations when applying for long-term residency passes. For more information, please refer to the Health Promotion Board's website which outlines the process and frequently asked questions.
Academic Assessments
All students in grades 1-12 are required to take a computer-based academic assessment as part of their admissions process. Academic assessments are held on campus and can be scheduled on school days at 9am or 1pm.
For children applying to 1st - 8th grades, Math and Reading will be assessed.
For students applying to 9th - 12th grades, Math, Reading, and a Writing assessment are required.
Academic assessments help our admissions team understand your child's current content knowledge. Since students are joining ICS from various countries and educational systems around the world, the academic assessment is used as one part of our holistic process for determining your child's most successful grade placement. If there are concerns that you child is not prepared for the grade they are applying for at ICS, our Admissions Director will contact you.

East Village Dental Centre is your all-in-one source for premium dental services, including general dentistry and top-notch quality dental implants.
We offer dental implants at East Village Dental Centre, allowing people to rediscover the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh, and enjoy life. Dental implants in Chicago are meant to create a foundation for false teeth that will function, look and feel more like natural teeth than traditional dentures. You will be able to eat just about anything you previously could and will regain confidence when you smile without the fear of people noticing that your teeth aren't your natural teeth. Learn more about our Wicker Park dentist's implants today.
What Are Dental Implants?
Our dentist in Chicago offers dental implants, which are replacement roots and provide a strong foundation for permanent or removable replacement teeth. They are created in a lab to match your natural teeth, making them practically unnoticeable. Dental implants are personalized treatment plans that address each patient's specific needs.
- The implants are prepared by professionals who are trained and experienced in oral surgery as well as restorative dentistry. The first process consists of placing the titanium post and the healing process can take anywhere from six to 12 weeks.
- When the implant is bonded to the jawbone, a small connector post is attached to the titanium post to hold your new tooth. The abutment attaches to the finalized mold of your new teeth.
- Instead of receiving one or multiple individual crowns, it's possible to have attachments placed on the implant that can retain and support a removable denture.
What Are The Advantages Of Dental Implants?
When you decide to get dental implants in Chicago, our dentist will walk you through the process, including mentioning all the benefits that come with a new set of functional teeth. When the process is complete and you are just about healed, you'll begin to see and feel the benefits of the implants. Some, but not all, advantages to dental implants include:
- Restoring Your Mouth: When you are replacing the entire tooth—root included—the function and look of your natural teeth are able to be replicated. The strong and stable foundation allows for comfortable biting and chewing with the real feel and look.
- Preserving Your Facial Structures: Normally, bone resorption or jaw thinning occurs when you lose teeth and becomes even more prominent when you are missing all your teeth. However, dental implants help keep your facial structures intact. If you don't receive implants at your dentist in Chicago, it's possible that the lower third of your face can collapse, creating wrinkles around your mouth. Implants can help prevent this and even reverse it if it's already happened.
- Improving Your Smile: A dental implant-supported replacement tooth looks more natural than your average tooth-supported bridge, helping your front teeth uniquely fit your smile. It's important to prevent visible bone defects by keeping a healthy smile and an improved appearance.
- No Longer Compromising Adjacent Teeth: Partial dentures have clasps that hook onto the adjacent teeth, eventually putting pressure on them as the partial rocks back and forth. If you choose to replace missing teeth with implant-supported crowns or bridges, you do not have the adjacent natural teeth option, so they are not compromised or damaged.
- Renewed Self-Confidence: When you receive a new set of implant-supported replacement teeth, your self-esteem and self-confidence will be restored as you'll be more comfortable smiling and enjoy your appearance with the functionality of a healthy mouth.
How Successful Are Dental Implants? How Painful Are Dental Implants?
Our dentist in Chicago knows that dental implant success can vary, depending on where in the jaw the implants are placed. However, it's important to note that dental implants can have a success rate of up to 98% and with proper care and a good oral maintenance routine, implants can last a lifetime.
Dental implants come with minimal discomfort between the procedure and the aftermath and during the procedure, you can have local anesthesia. Did you know that many patients express that implants involve less pain than a tooth extraction? The most discomfort you will have is soreness from the procedure that can be treated with over-the-counter medications like Tylenol or Motrin.
Cost of Dental Implants
Receiving dental implants through our Wicker Park dentist can drastically change your smile, making you more confident and excited to show off your pearly whites. There are different types of dental implants so make sure you ask us at your next visit about your options because prices vary based on what works for your unique situation.
Dental implants allow people to rediscover the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh, and enjoy life. Dental implants are meant to create a foundation for false teeth that will function, look and feel more like natural teeth than traditional dentures. You will be able to eat just about anything you previously could and will regain confidence when you smile without fear people may notice your teeth aren't your natural teeth.
Your implant dentist will insert small posts made from titanium directly into the jawbone. The bone then grows around and bonds with the post, creating a strong foundation for your false teeth. In addition to restoring the look of your smile, dental implants protect your facial structure and prevent further bone loss, which typically occurs when you're missing teeth. There are different types of dental implants; ask us at your next visit what your options are and how they vary.

The Christchurch earthquake fiasco is far from being merely of local interest. It's a disaster which contains serious implications for us all. Relative to the rest of the world it may seem an unimportant affair concerning a small city of 300,000 inhabitants and a few in the sparsely populated Canterbury Plain which abuts its boundaries.. In fact, it is a perfect microcosm of what all countries within the capitalist system as it is organised at the moment, with behemoth private corporations being responsible for solving human and societal concerns, can expect to experience when, as is increasingly likely, they suffer major environmental disasters. For that reason, the Christchurch and Canterbury experience demands close study by both governments and the governed throughout the world. It is also why TTIP, the proposed trade pact between the EU and the USA, should be opposed at every step, because corporations will be able to sue governments in off-shore courts outside national jurisdiction for actions which they see as harming their interests - in which case we've got no chance. TTIP is still not law, so make your voices heard in the swelling protest movement. Sadly, I'm not aware of any opposition political party in Britain which has spoken out against it. In fact, nobody at the top seems to mention it at all. Dereliction? Perhaps they are all in it together.
In her two books, The Christchurch Fiasco and now The Insurance Aftershock, Sarah Miles dissects these processes with a forensic scalpel. She exposes the inescapable fault-line in corporate structure. When there is a matter of public concern, where should the corporations' first duty lie, to the clients or to the shareholders? She demonstrates clearly that corporations have chosen the second course, and also that Government has allowed this to happen. Thus, the insurance companies have reneged on what we innocently thought was the whole reason for their being.
The Christchurch Fiasco chronicles the earlier period in the rebuilding process. The Insurance Aftershock takes this further and mercilessly exposes the faults and weaknesses – yes, and concealment, incompetence and corruption - inherent in the process, ending with devastating conclusions which the rest of the world would do well to take notice of and ask whether it could happen to them.
Well, the answer is clear. Unless we, as citizens of relatively affluent Western societies, change the way we do things, yes it can. And Sarah Miles's brilliant books, written with the same page-turning clarity and passion of writers like Naomi Klein, give a clear blueprint for what these changes need to be.
This is not a political book. It is a survey of a flawed system in operation and, inevitably, some elements refer to positions on the political spectrum. However, surely all persons of goodwill must say as they read it, 'Things have to be better than this.'
A sinister footnote. We bought the first book, The Christchurch Fiasco, quite by accident, never having heard about it before. There were a few copies lurking on a shelf fronted by glossy guide books in the city tourist centre. There's good reason to believe that the book was actually suppressed from above. I tried to buy more copies in several Christchurch bookshops but it never seemed to be in stock. I wrote a letter to the Christchurch Press about what seemed to me to be a strange situation, that a book highly relevant to an urgent situation seemed almost unobtainable. I was told by several people that they wouldn't publish my letter. And that was dead right - I did not trouble the correspondence columns. Then the original publisher of Fiasco declined to publish The Insurance Aftershock, which is why it only exists at the moment as an ebook. I was amazed by the number of people who didn't know about the first book - including a friend, a retired senior librarian from the Christchurch Central Library, who you would expect to be aware of what went on.
I'll say nothing about arm-twisting, but such occurrences do give pause for thought. Democracy is a fragile plant at the best of times.

The Insurance Aftershock is available as an ebook on Kindle and other platforms.

Easy April fools day pranks
Buy a spray can of fishing bait or something else very smelly and cover it in a label of an Air freshener.
Get one real egg and cover it in chocolate, wrap it up in foil and give them as gifts to your friends and family.
This is a super easy quick prank to pull off. Simply cut out a trapezoid shaped blank piece of paper and place it over the male bathroom sign to turn it into the female sign. This works best in public places and bars where people don't know the bathrooms well.
Take your friends deodorant and replace it with soft cheese. It looks the same but as soon as they go to put some on...
Everyone loves donuts and will take one without even thinking, which makes them perfect for a prank. Get some empty donuts and fill them with mayonnaise!
Do you have an Airhorn? Do you have a door?... Then you've got everything you need for this super simple funny prank.
Simply stick an airhorn on the wall behind the door, when the victim opens the door off goes to horn scaring the bejesus outta them!
A simple prank of pure evil. Tie up the scissors with the one thing only scissors can cut.
Paint a bar of soap with clear nail polish and leave it in the shower, the victim will keep washing but won't seem to be getting any cleaner and they won't know why.
The classic ketchup drink prank. Put the straw into a packet of ketchup and place inside a drink.
Replace the lovely Oreo center with toothpaste! Very evil but very funny with kids.
Buy some snap bangers and place under the toilet seat on the pads, then gentally put the seat down and wait for your victim to go to the bathroom and sit down.
Replace the toilet paper with duck tape. Will the victim dare use it?..
It may not be the right time of year for a toffee apple but who could say no to a free toffee apple? Little do they know it's not an apply inside, but you'll only findout once you take a nice big bite!

NEW YORK — The New York City Health Department has expanded its HIV and STD testing services as part of Mayor Bill de Blasio's NYC Plan to End the AIDS Epidemic initiative, the department announced last week.
Anyone age 12 or older can be tested for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia and/or syphilis and can receive the tests even if they have no symptoms or known exposure.
Patients will not be required to see another health care provider unless it is necessary. City STD clinic locations and hours can be found at the agency's website, nyc.gov/stdclinic.
"This expansion of services will connect more New Yorkers to care and is one component of our citywide effort to reduce health disparities," said Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett. "This city remains committed to providing affordable STD services and promoting safer sex for all. Being sure of your status is an essential part of a healthy and happy sex life. The only STD test you should worry about is the one you don't take."
The Health Department expects a 30 to 50 percent increase in numbers of visits after implementing screening visits for all.

One occasionally hears advice to "live in the now" or "in the moment." If people who give this advice mean that we should deal with what we have at the present, responsible with its problems and joyful in its blessings, neither disabled by regrets nor bedazzled by pipe dreams, then I agree. I just read today in Plutarch's summary of Caius Marius that thoughtless people "lose the enjoyment of their present prosperity by fancying something better to come," and that they "reject their present success" while they "do nothing but dream of future uncertainties." He's right: Caius Marius and others like him should not have neglected the now.
But if the people giving this advice mean, as I'm afraid most of them do these days, that we should ignore both the lessons of the past and the fears of future consequences, as if all lessons and consequences are mere conventional strictures designed to spoil us of our rightful joy, then I can't agree. I'm sorry to have to say so often that I remember reading something without remembering who said it, but I have to do it again. I remember reading somewhere that among the effects the Fall is the brokenness of time for humans, so that we have trouble seeing the connection between past, present, and future. Part of our Redemption then is seeing that Time is one -- that God has a plan for all of Time and that we play a part in it, that our Salvation came at the fulness of time, that the history recorded in the Bible teaches us in the present, and that all of creation rushes to a future that includes glory for the redeemed.
In his introduction to Bonhoeffer's Creation and Fall, John W. deGruchy suggests that Dietrich Bonhoeffer would also agree with the need to see Time as one. As deGruchy points out, Bonhoeffer taught both that the Old Testament should be read in light of the New Testament, since the declarations of the Hebrew Bible were made possible only by the Word revealed in the New Testament, and that the New should be read in the light of the Old, since the New Testament only makes sense in the context of the history given in the Old. Failure to see the integrity of biblical history and of the biblical message leads to a separation of creation and redemption, a separation of public and private spheres of life, a Gnostic separation of matter and spirit, and -- especially in Bonhoeffer's world -- anti-Semitism.
In the text of the book itself, Bonhoeffer begins his exposition of the first three chapters of Genesis with a discussion of what "the beginning" means, and points out that the human who wrote that sentence could only know about the beginning by having been told about it by Someone Who was the Beginning. But such a person must also be the End. The Bible, Bonhoeffer says, "needs to be read and proclaimed wholly from the viewpoint of the end. In the church, therefore, the story of creation must be read in a way that begins with Christ and only then moves on toward him as its goal." Without revelation about our beginning, he says, humans don't know their end either and thus live on a circle, an isolated path with neither origin nor goal. Although we can see the middle, we can't see the beginning or the end, and yet we know that we are in the middle. Any proclamations about the beginning or end disturb us: they can only come from liars or from the Creator.
I love this opening to the book, partly because it reminds me of several other books I love -- books whose authors I do remember. It first makes me think of Pascal's statements in the Pensées about humanity living in the middle, unable to know either the very small or the very large. Pascal was both right and out of step with his times: made at a time when faith in reason was growing and when some philosophers were starting to say that we could one day understand all there is to know, his humble assertions have proven astonishingly accurate, as science has shown, for instance, that the location and vector of subatomic particles cannot be known simultaneously, and that our observation of the history of the material universe hits an impenetrable curtain at 10^-43 seconds after the Big Bang. Of course that last point about disturbing proclamations reminds me of C. S. Lewis's famous "Lord, Liar, Lunatic" argument from Mere Christianity.
But most of all, this passage in Bonhoeffer reminds me of Scrooge, who got it right at the end of his story. With him, I say, "I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach." May the Beginning and the End hold me to it.

When Should We Then Live?

I'm glad to see you talking about Bonhoeffer. I have read Cosf of Discipleship a few times and a recent biography on him also. He is such a pivotal figure to me. He reminds me of that verse in Revalation: "and they overcame by the blood of the Lamb, the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death." Only a view of time as a whole can yield that.ReplyDelete

Hikes With Family And Pets: How To Keep Everyone Safe
Safety is a pertinent issue for everyone, when hiking be sure to consider the following safety tips to keep you and all your family members safe. First, before you even embark on the hike make sure to acquire the right gear for you and your family. Train your children how to put on their gear, how to use it, including in the case of an emergency and what to do with the item if it breaks or if they no longer want to wear it.
What You Must Bring
Key items for children to have, include a whistle that is easy to access and use, and a bag filled with essentials such as rain clothing, a space blanket to keep them warm, snacks, water bottles and season specific clothing items. Explain the correct procedure to follow if they become separated from you while on the hike. The system to follow in the event of your child going missing would be for them to find a tree and not move.
Where to Stay
By staying in one spot, it is easier to locate you than if you were constantly moving, then once the child has picked the exact spot, they should blow the whistle and not scream as the screaming might not carry through exactly how they would want it to. Moving on to the day of the hike, make sure to be fully aware of what kind of route you will be taking to plan for any hard or slippery parts and how to deal with these situations.
Things You Will Encounter
If at any point during your hike, you know that you are going to be coming across a body of water, such as rapids or a waterfall, be sure to practice water safety at all times and keep everyone safe, especially the little ones who may not understand just how powerful wild rivers are. Children can quickly slip into the river on soft and slippery pebbles that line the water surface, as could your dog, so be sure to be on the lookout at all times.
Safety First!
An extremely important conversation to have with your children before you embark on the hiking trip is to explain not only the buddy system and how they have to stick together at all times, but also that while they are out in nature that they should not go wandering off or start playing hide and seek. This goes without saying but make sure that at all times during the hike that you can see all of your family members, including your dog.
Make sure that both your children and your animals are outfitted with bright clothing and accessories making them easier to locate in an emergency, while camouflage might be cool, the game of 'I'm lost, please find me" is not nearly as exciting. Therefore, in your face colors, prints and patterns are the order of the day, for your dog you could put him on a brightly colored collar, backpack or scarf to help keep him in your line of sight if you aren't using a leash.
If you're wondering if hiking is the right thing for you and your whole family, rest assured not only will kids but your dogs will also adore the experience. Different types of German Shepherds especially, are fantastic dogs if you are looking for a long-term hiking partner. There are many things to prepare before you embark on a hike with your dog make sure you have all the necessary supplies, equipment, First Aid and snacks.

Wine Holy Grail
Aficionados and viticulture enthusiasts
3,000 bottles orderable on a tablet
Some of the best sommeliers in Spain
First impression?
Monvínic is the Sagrada Familia of Barcelona's wine scene; it's iconic and dramatic (and, in this case, finished). Tucked within its sleek, glass-partitioned corridors—which, with handsome oak and mood lighting, feel a bit like the lobby of a W Hotel—are various zones dedicated to wine. There's a palette-expanding library of reference texts, a 3,000-bottle cellar that looks as modern as a science lab, a dining room with a daily menu projected on the wall, and an education center. Mark our words: this is the geeky school trip you wish you'd had.
Cool. So who's there?
You definitely don't stumble into Monvínic; rather, it's a pilgrimage. So the people you see here want to be here.
How are the drinks?
Monvínic's 3,000-bottle wine list is automated; you use a tablet to search a glossary organized by country of origin, grape, year, and pour size (half-glass, glass, or bottle). With 40 to 50 bottles available daily by the glass, a little wine know-how—or a basic sense of what you like and don't like—will come in handy. Note that the list veers into unusual parts of the globe, like Slovenia and Greece.
Worth ordering something to eat, too?
The restaurant is as much an attraction as the wine bar, with a market menu as well as tasting specials (like a eight-course truffle-wine pairing). The best value is the lunch special in the wine bar: three courses, a glass of wine, and a water for €19.50.
Did the staff do you right?
The sommeliers here are at the top of their game. Director Isabelle Brunet, who earned her stripes at El Bulli and London's Ritz Club, is one of the best sommeliers in Spain.
Wrap it up: what are we coming here for?

Advertisements may not be human, but the people who create them are and therefore are bound to make a mistake from time to time. Being creative in a way that appeals to the broadest audience can be a challenging task. Advertising agencies want to break barriers, but they need to find a way to do it without making tears. Any agency is capable of stirring up controversy: from small Utah ad agencies to big national companies.
Modern marketing is pure chaos. Consumers are revolting against stagnate companies and abandoning traditional media in droves. Only those who adapt will succeed. The revolution is in full-swing. Consumers are dictating how they want to do business and it's not the way you've probably done business before.

The Gallery – Mother Nature
What a brilliant prompt Tara has given us this week, Mother Nature and a massive thank you to the good ol' English weather for playing ball and giving us wall to wall blue skies on Sunday. We wrapped up warm, very warm and took the girls off to our local 'park' which was once a farm but over the past 6 -7 years has been slowly transformed into a beautiful wilderness with paths to follow where you can shorten or extend your walk.

It has one toilet and one sink. There is no stall and no urinal. The door locks. What makes it a men's room?
Perhaps the lack of changing table means that it has asserted itself a sense of resentful masculinity? Is it the kind of room that despises even the slim progress of equality that has lead to nurturing fathers, single fathers, and pairs of fathers? Could it disdainfully relegate those duties to the women's room down the hall, no doubt full of frills and lace and things more appropriate for changing a baby?
Does it silently criticize those that don't fit its image of masculinity? Are the business students that pass by too slight for it? Is it upset by my long hair, shocked that a man would walk through the world this way? What would it feel like if I had come in wearing a skirt?
Can it imagine the ill woman, clutching sadly at the locked handle of its sister room? Will it consider the man standing outside its anonymous door, not obviously suggesting its singular nature, and wondering if he passes well enough to go in or if he must find the tucked away gender neutral restroom, laying unadvertised in some other hallway, before his need to go becomes an infection? Would it refuse to serve its purpose if they'd entered? Would it stop its long months, still too newly built to have gone years, of uncommenting silence in order to object?
Does it resent its label? Has it always wished to be some other sort of room? Would it sympathize with those people that have rejected their own societal label? Can it even tell when someone walks inside it what society has labeled them from the moment of their birth?
There is nothing that passes in or out, no person, no substance, no horrific drunken expulsion or clogged overflow that is more degrading, more obscene, more thoroughly revolting than the image it holds no responsibility for. The sign that proclaims something the room can never convey on its own, has no reason to convey, has no need to convey. The glaring fault, terrible only because of all of the things that must be the wrong in the world before that label would exist. Like a scarlet letter, labeling all who enter as under the sway of society's judgement.

Our ambassadors are some of the strongest players in our project, spreading the word and championing this cause within their communities.
Jenna is a mother of four and works part-time at Breastscreen WA. As well as being involved in her children's school as a P&F member and Canteen Mum, Jenna uses her role as an ambassador to encourage kids and adults alike to get involved in the community.
"I thought it would be a good opportunity to encourage the kids at LIC to learn to help others and contribute to their community. Personally it is important to give back to those in need within our community. The Prophet (SWS) said, "You will not believe until you love for your brother what you love for yourself." An-Nawaawi says that "brother" is in humanity, not just in faith."
Jenna and her children are regular packing day volunteers and she collects her required boxes every month through Langford Islamic College.
Find out more about Jenna and her experience as an ambassador below!

National Cat Lover's Month December
- 27 November 2018
- 0 Comments
- richsmith
More than 36 million U.S. households share their homes and hearts with more than 74 million cats. This according to the 2012 American Veterinary Medical Association's U.S. Pet Ownership & Demographic Sourcebook.
Some people dislike cats (ailurophobes) and complain that cats aren't affectionate. I tell them that cats are just like people. Some are shy, some are quite affectionate, and the others are somewhere in between. I'll bet you know someone who was an ailurophobe (cat hater) but became an ailurophile (cat lover) when he or she met the "right" cat.
If you're a cat lover like me, you're in good company. Many noteworthy people through the ages have loved cats, including young people (such as Taylor Swift), the young-at-heart (Morgan Freeman), the famous (Freddy Mercury), and the infamous (Al Capone).
Scientists once concluded that cats were first tamed by ancient Egyptians about 4,000 years ago. However, the recent discovery of the 9,500-year-old remains of a human and a cat carefully interred in a grave in Cyprus have led French archeologists to conclude that this cat had a special place in the villager's daily life and afterlife and is possibly the world's oldest known pet cat.
Have a happy cat month and don't forget to feed them Pet Wants ….Fresh is better!

On a trip to Universal Studios Orlando in 1992 I was really struck by the coolness of the stage and set for Beetlejuice's Rock and Roll Graveyard Review. The set was beautiful with a three-dimensional stone façade positioned in front of a two-dimensional painting of castle towers. The effect was amazing and I ended up snapping a bunch of pictures of the empty stage and set as well as the signage.
Notice the effective use of ariel perspective on the castle backdrop. Here is the definition of ariel perspective from www.artlex.com.
The perception of depth in nature can be enhanced by the appearance of atmospheric haze. Although this haze is most commonly humidity (or cloudiness), it could be rain or snow, smoke, or any other kind of vapor. Aerial perspective is the portrayal of that atmospheric haze -- one means to adding to an illusion of depth in depicting space on a flat surface. It is achieved by using less focus, along with bluer, lighter, and duller hues for the distant spaces and objects depicted in a picture.
Anyway there's your art lesson for the day. The techniques and concepts used for this set can be applied to home haunt displays. I'm not sure if the set still exists at Universal but from what I can remember it was very well done.

Attention Marketers: Generate Qualified Leads to Fill Your Sales Funnel Instantly!
Access the most comprehensive database of more than 30 million IT and Business Decision Makers. Accuracy and satisfaction guaranteed. No registration required to learn more.
Small businesses use social media extensively, suggest the results of a recent Clutch survey of 351 United States firms with fewer than 500 employees.
This story was originally published on Mar. 27, 2018 and is brought to you today as part of our Best of ECT News series.
Overall, 71 percent of the respondents used social media for business purposes, and those affiliated with firms owned by women reported heavier use.
Additional findings:
- 86 percent of the respondents using social media posted to Facebook;
- 48 percent used Instagram;
- 12 percent used Facebook exclusively;
- 74 percent of businesses owned by women used social media;
- 66 percent of businesses owned by men used social media;
- 79 percent of millennial businesses owners used social media;
- 65 percent of business owners older than 35 do so;
- 52 percent of small businesses post to social media at least once a day;
- 54 percent of businesses post images or infographics to their social media pages because people process images better than text; and
- 13 percent of companies have no plans to use social media in the future.
The indication that businesses owned by women use social media more "identifies a known personality difference between men and women," observed Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group.
"By nature, women tend to be more social," he told the E-Commerce Times.
Survey Participant Stats
Fifty-four percent of the survey respondents, numbering 191, were women. The remaining 46 percent, numbering 160, were men.
However, that did not skew the survey's findings, said Kristen Herhold, a marketer at Clutch.
"The difference was only 31 people, and we find that difference to be statistically insignificant,"…

Police strike force investigates 'suspicious' fire at Taren Point factory
Police are appealing for information from the public about a suspicious fire at a Taren Point factory last Thursday which caused more than $1 million worth of damage.
Fire and Rescue NSW crews raced to the scene of the fire at greeting card and giftwares business For Arts Sake in Box Road, Taren Point, after receiving triple-0 calls at 2.13pm on Thursday, November 28.
The first crews arrived at the scene at 2.20pm to find smoke billowing from a shed that was well alight at the rear of the premises.
A nearby container that housed paper and cardboard was also alight.
A dozen fire crews from Sutherland Shire, St George and Alexandria, including a specialised Hazmat unit, attended and brought the blaze under control.
A Fire and Rescue NSW spokesman said earth moving equipment had to be brought in to help completely extinguish the fire due to the amount of paper.
A number of occupants were evacuated from the building and neighbouring properties. A NSW Ambulance crew also attended but there were no injuries reported.
A Fire and Rescue NSW spokesman said the shed and container were completely destroyed while five brand new unplated cars were also damaged.
He said Fire and Rescue's K9 unit was brought in to check for accelerants.
A NSW Police Media spokesperson said detectives from Sutherland Shire Police Area Command attended the scene and Strike Force Purvine was established to investigate the fire, which caused building and contents damage thought to be in excess of $1 million.
Police are appealing for witnesses and anyone with dashcam footage taken in the Box Road area between 1pm and 3.30pm to come forward.
For Arts Sake was established in 1985 and according to its Facebook page, is the largest Australian-owned greeting card and gift wholesaler, supplying greeting cards, stationery, books, impulse lines and gifts.
Anyone with information about the fire should contact Sutherland Police on 9542 0899 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

What's new in ATA version 1.7
These release notes provide information about known issues in this version of Advanced Threat Analytics.
What's new in the ATA 1.7 update?
The update to ATA 1.7 provides improvements in the following areas:
New & updated detections
Role-based access control
Support for Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2016 Core
User experience improvements
Minor changes
New & updated detections
Reconnaissance using Directory Services Enumeration As part of the reconnaissance phase, attackers gather information about the entities in the network using different methods. Directory services enumeration using the SAM-R protocol enables attackers to obtain the list of users and groups in a domain and understand the interaction between the different entities.
Pass-the-Hash Enhancements To enhance Pass-the-Hash detection, we added additional behavioral models for the authentication patterns of entities. These models enable ATA to correlate entity behavior with suspicious NTLM authentications, and differentiate real Pass-the-Hash attacks from the behavior of false positive scenarios.
Pass-the-Ticket Enhancements To successfully detect advanced attacks in general and Pass-the-Ticket in particular, the correlation between an IP address and the computer account must be accurate. This is a challenge in environments where IP addresses change rapidly by design (for example Wi-Fi networks and multiple virtual machines sharing the same host). To overcome this challenge and improve the accuracy of the Pass-the-Ticket detection, ATA's Network Name Resolution (NNR) mechanism was improved significantly to reduce false-positives.
Abnormal Behavior Enhancements In ATA 1.7, NTLM authentication data was added as a data source for the abnormal behavior detections, providing the algorithms with broader coverage of entity behavior in the network.
Unusual Protocol Implementation Enhancements ATA now detects unusual protocol implementation in the Kerberos protocol, along with additional anomalies in the NTLM protocol. Specifically, these new anomalies for Kerberos are commonly used in Over-pass-the-Hash attacks.
Role based access control Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) capability. ATA 1.7 includes three roles: ATA Administrator, ATA Analyst and ATA Executive.
Support for Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server Core ATA 1.7 supports the deployment of Lightweight Gateways on domain controllers running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (not including Server Core), Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016 (including Core but not Nano). Additionally, this release supports Windows Server 2016 both for the ATA Center and ATA Gateway components.
User Experience
- Configuration Experience In this release, the ATA configuration experience was redesigned for a better user experience and to better support of environments with multiple ATA Gateways. This release also introduces the ATA Gateway update page for simpler, better management of automatic updates for the various Gateways.
Known issues
The following known issues exist in this version.
Gateway automatic update may fail
Symptoms: In environments with slow WAN links, the ATA Gateway update may reach the timeout for the update (100 seconds) and fail to complete successfully. In the ATA Console, the ATA Gateway will have the status of "Updating (downloading package)" for a long amount of time and it eventually fails. Workaround: To work around this issue, download the latest ATA Gateway package from the ATA Console, and update the ATA Gateway manually.
Automatic certificate renewal for the certificates used by ATA is not supported. The use of these certificates may cause ATA to stop functioning when the certificate is automatically renewed.
No browser support for JIS encoding
Symptoms: The ATA Console may not function as expected on browsers using JIS encoding Workaround: Change the browser's encoding to Unicode UTF-8.
Dropped port mirror traffic when using VMware
Dropped port mirror traffic alerts when using lightweight gateway on VMware.
If you are using domain controllers on VMware virtual machines, you might receive alerts about Dropped port mirrored network traffic. This might happens because of a configuration mismatch in VMware. To avoid these alerts, you can check that the following settings are set to 0 or Disabled in the virtual machine:
- TsoEnable
- LargeSendOffload(IPv4)
- IPv4 TSO Offload
Also, consider disabling IPv4 Giant TSO Offload. For more information consult your VMware documentation.
Automatic Gateway update fail when updating to 1.7 update 1
When updating from ATA 1.7 to ATA 1.7 update 1, both the automatic ATA Gateway update process and the manual installation of Gateways using the Gateway package may not work as expected. This issue will occur if the certificate used by the ATA Center was changed prior to updating ATA. To verify this issue, review the Microsoft.Tri.Gateway.Updater.log on the ATA Gateway and look for the following exceptions: System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: An error occurred while sending the request. ---> System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send. ---> System.IdentityModel.Tokens.SecurityTokenValidationException: Failed to validate certificate thumbprint
In order to resolve this issue, after changing the certificate, from an elevated command prompt, browse to the following location: %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Advanced Threat Analytics\Center\MongoDB\bin and run the following:
Mongo.exe ATA (ATA must be capitalized)
db.SystemProfile.update({_t:"ServiceSystemProfile"},{$set:{"Configuration.ManagementClientConfiguration.ServerCertificateThumbprint":CenterThumbprint}}, {multi: true})
Export suspicious activity details to Excel may fail
When trying to export suspicious activity details to an Excel file, the operation may fail with the following error: Error [BsonClassMapSerializer`1] System.FormatException: An error occurred while deserializing the Activity property of class Microsoft.Tri.Common.Data.NetworkActivities.SuspiciousActivityActivity: Element 'ResourceIdentifier' does not match any field or property of class Microsoft.Tri.Common.Data.EventActivities.NtlmEvent. ---> System.FormatException: Element 'ResourceIdentifier' does not match any field or property of class Microsoft.Tri.Common.Data.EventActivities.NtlmEvent.
To resolve this issue, from an elevated command prompt, browse to the following location: %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Advanced Threat Analytics\Center\MongoDB\bin and run the following commands:
Mongo.exe ATA(ATA must be capitalized)
db.SuspiciousActivityActivity.update({ "Activity._t": "NtlmEvent" },{$unset: {"Activity.ResourceIdentifier": ""}}, {multi: true});
Minor changes
- ATA is now using OWIN instead of IIS for the ATA Console.
- If the ATA Center service is down, you cannot access the ATA Console.
- Short-term Lease subnets are no longer necessary due to changes in the ATA NNR.

Just days after calling her Grammy nominations "truly a blessing," Jennifer Hudson is heading back to work. The singer and Oscar-winning actress is set to start filming the video for her next single, Yahoo! News reports.
A J Records spokesperson said the singer will head to Los Angeles next week to shoot the video for the song "If It Isn't Love," the follow-up to the Grammy-nominated "Spotlight." [artist id="2481017"]Hudson[/artist] was reportedly supposed to film the video around the time her mother, brother and nephew were killed in Chicago in October.
The release of her debut album has been overshadowed by the deaths of her three family members. In October, only weeks before the tragedy, Hudson released the LP, which also features her Grammy-nominated duet with fellow "American Idol" alum Fantasia, "I'm His Only Woman."
"So many different people come up to me and say, 'I'm a huge fan,' and I say, 'Oh my God, what am I going to have for everyone [on the album]?' " Hudson said then. "That was the biggest challenge, [but] nobody knows my potential the way I do."
Last week, Hudson received four Grammy nods, including Best R&B Album and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. In a statement, she said, "It's been a childhood dream of mine to release an album, so to receive four Grammy nominations is truly a blessing. I'm extremely honored and humbled by the nominations."

JOHANNESBURG – Doctors striking at Mpilo and United Bulawayo Hospitals (UBH) in Zimbabwe, over salaries and the alleged abduction of acting Zimbabwe Hospital Doctors Association (ZHDA) leader Dr Peter Magombeyi, have warned that they will continue their strike.
The work stoppage will continue until the abducted doctor is released and paid an adequate salary, said the doctors, adding that people were "dying anyway".
Magombeyi was reportedly abducted from his Budiriro home on Saturday night by some unknown men suspected to be state security agents.
Mtahbisi Anele, ZHDA secretary-general Mthabisi Anele Bhebhe, addressing protesters said that if there were no salary increases the strike would continue as the government had made it impossible for doctors to continue reporting to work as their work was not appreciated.
Responding to assertions by some citizens that the doctors' actions were selfish and put people's lives at risk, Anele said this was not the case as people were dying anyway whether the doctors showed up for work or not.
He also claimed there were as many as 23 citizens who were being held and charged for allegedly trying to subvert the Zimbabwe government. Anele asked if the public was aware of the arrests. He said it was not only doctors under attack, but also ordinary citizens.

19 Jul 2012
Update: Psalms 30, 76 and 145
I have recently posted versifications and harmonizations for Psalms 30, 76 and 145.
Psalm 30 was perhaps written by someone who had recovered from a near fatal illness, as indicated in these verses: "O Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me. O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol; you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit" (verses 2-3). The psalmist expresses great joy at his unexpected healing, similar to what the nation of Israel as a whole experienced when it was delivered from its foes on numerous occasions. Accordingly, the ancient Hebrews sang Psalm 30 to celebrate the re-dedication of the Jerusalem temple in the 2nd century BC after it was desecrated by the tyrannical ruler Antiochos IV Epiphanes, or what we now know as Hanukkah (see also John 10:22-42). In Christian liturgical usage, Psalm 30 is appropriately sung on Easter or one of the sundays thereafter.
The focus of Psalm 76 is more obviously corporate in character, with a special focus on Mount Zion, site of the Jewish temple. It appears to have been composed on the occasion of Judah's victory over the Assyrian armies of Sennacherib, as recounted in 2 Kings 18-19 and Isaiah 36-37. Might King Hezekiah himself have written this psalm? He certainly would have had ample reason to express the sentiments therein, for tiny Judah's victory over the near eastern superpower of the day was miraculous by any standard.
In the Genevan Psalter Psalms 30 and 76 are set to the same melody, which is in the hypomixolydian mode and has a metrical pattern of 88 88 99. In arranging this tune one might say that I was killing two birds with one stone, to coin a phrase. Psalm 139 is also set to this tune, and a text for this may well be my next effort.
Psalm 145 is one of the final Psalms of praise that close this ancient liturgical collection. It is an alphabetical psalm, meaning that each line begins with a letter of the Hebrew alphabet in alphabetical order. In Jewish practice Psalm 145 makes up the major part of the Ashrei, which is prayed three times daily. Very early it was noticed that this psalm is missing a verse for the Hebrew letter נ (nun) in the original language. However, most English translations include a verse based on its presence in the Septuagint and other ancient versions, on the assumption that these translations were made before the verse fell out of the surviving Hebrew manuscripts. My own text includes this verse.
In the Genevan Psalter the tune for Psalm 145 is in the mixolydian mode and has a metrical pattern of 10 10 10 10 11 11 11 11.
This text and harmonization I have dedicated to my esteemed colleague, Dr. Jacob P. Ellens, on the occasion of his recent retirement after 25 years of service at Redeemer University College. Verse 4 is key here: "One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts," which has obvious relevance for someone who has devoted his working life to educating the young in the ways of God and his world. Thanks be to God that he saw fit to bless us with Ellens' years of selfless service in academia proper and in academic administration.

I know there was some talk about a British company doing a documentary on 42nd Street, but that's been in the works for years now....are there other good docs out there on NYC in the 70's? I saw a BBC special called Once Upon a Time in New York that covered disco, punk and hip-hop in the 70's that was awesome, but I've been looking around for other stuff as well. There's one out there called 42nd Street River to River, but i haven't been able to find out much about it.
Doing Time In Times Square is good but it's more about the criminal element and the experiences of the filmmakers than the theaters and what not.
So far as I know though, the definitive documentary we all want doesn't exist yet.
Rock! Shock! Pop!
I watched DOIN' TIME in TIMES SQUARE...on fast forward. Man. Terrible. Shot with a video camera, bunch of fights and stuff, you wouldn't know it was Times Square for the most part, and it was interspersed with lame home movies. Just in case anyone was gonna buy it.

Finally! A way to eat oatmeal for breakfast that really jives with me. Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies. Stop your snickering! Cookies for breakfast? You got it. These, however, are not the sweet oatmeal cookies the way your grandma would make them. They are definitely okay for breakfast, slightly sweet, practically fat-free, more like a chewy English scone that is made with oatmeal. And in the form of a cookie. And so much better tasting than a bowl full of mushy oatmeal that for the life of me I just can't seem to get over. I think it's just that texture thing that gets to me, but I really want to like oatmeal, and now I can. I warm one of these big breakfast cookies up for 12 seconds in the microwave and serve it with a cup of milk, and it makes a perfect cholesterol-lowering heart-healthy breakfast.
I bet you want the recipe. I happened to find this recipe online at stacymakescents.com, a website that has a whole bunch of yummy-looking healthy breakfast recipes that I want to try. This one turned out pretty good, so I know I'll be revisiting that site again for inspiration.
Below is her recipe. Do what I did and double it. I didn't have any nuts so I left those out and I used half raisins and half dried unsweetened cranberries for the dried fruit. I also ran out of nutmeg, but in my opinion that spice is optional. The cookies keep well in a zip top bag.
Oatmeal Raisin Breakfast Cookies
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup oat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons honey
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup chopped nuts
- ¼ cup raisins
- Combine oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Stir in vanilla, egg, honey, and yogurt.
- Fold in nuts and raisi
- Spread into 4 large cookie shapes on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake at 375 for 6-10 minutes or until done. It will depend on how thick you make your cookies.
Yield: 4 breakfast cookies

February 2, 1970, Page 14Buy Reprints
PARIS, Feb. 1—The Salva tion Army and the hippie musical "Hair" have been helping each other at the box office.
This unlikely bit of sym biosis is the achievement of Gilbert Abadie, commanding officer of the Armee du Salut in France, who says: "Lots of people sing 'Onward, Chris tian Soldiers' but don't want to live it."
Living out his hymns, Commissioner Abadie led platoon of his troops into the Theatre de la Porte Saint‐Martin one evening in December. Wearing civilian clothes, they blended into a solidly bourgeois audience that had paid $10 a person plus agency fees to see the latest shocker from America.
Early on, during a pseudo religious episode featuring a crucifix, the commissioner used a portable loudspeaker to call a halt in the show. His party climbed onstage to exhort the cast and audience.
Bill Combs, one of the black American contingent that is the mainstay of the Paris troupe, recalls the inci dent with warmth.
"I feel everybody should express what they feel in side," he told a visitor. "When they came up, we threw our arms around them and danced. Some of them danced, too, till the others said: 'Hey, we didn't come here to dance.'"
Commissioner Abadie de nies that his troops frater nized to that extent. In any event, after making their objection known, they left quietly, although from time to time, whenever they can raise the funds, squads return to the theater to voice their indignation from the pit.
January is normally a slack month in the theater, and this year every show in town but "Hair" has had empty seats. At the Saint‐Martin, the lobby is packed an hour before curtain time with solid citizens jostling for the non reserved jump seats along the aisles. Except for a sprin kling of young people, the crowds are the same as those that normally frequent the boulevard theaters, where the actors never undress and where the principal theme is cuckoldry.
Bernard Regnier, the young manager of the Saint‐Martin, acknowledged that the Sal vation Army crusade had brought him enormous free publicity. But waving a $1.50 cigar wearily over a vast desk cluttered with contracts and social‐security forms, he said it worried him a little, too.
"I'm afraid we'll get the wrong kind of public—people wanting to see swinishness," he explained. "They'll be dis appointed. After all, it's not a very shocking show."
No such misgivings trouble the serene yet spirited 66‐ year‐old commissioner. A bald, stocky little figure, moving restlessly behind another vast and cluttered desk, he told an interviewer: "The incredible success of our publicity shows that the mass of our youth is not corrupted. This movement of resistance has awakened the zeal of our people.
Didn't Attend to Dance
"We did not aim at 'Hair' because it was the worst show in town, but because it was playing at one of our leading theaters," he went on. "We acted not so much to close it as to awaken the public. We've succeeded be yond my expectations."
He whipped a magazine out of a drawer, showed its cover, then put it back.
"It is this escalation of pornography," he said. "I've received hundreds of letters from parents anguished about their children's des cending into an ambience where everything is permit ted."
Commissioner Abadie de manded that the law be en forced against "Hair," which he described as "this wave of profanity and obscenity."
"It is no censorship," he declared, "to forbid a show that abandons 40,000 years of civilization to return to the cave."
Asked if the situation was so serious as to call for il legal action such as his own, he replied firmly, "I think so."
Extremists on both sides of the issue agree. When au thorities of the Roman Cath olic and Protestant churches and the Salvation Army held an ecumenical rally against pornography last Monday, youths in the audience chant ed bawdy songs and slogans. A hippie stripped off his trousers and a Salvation Army member pushed a scuffler off the stage. A band of leftist Catholics shouted for peace and liberty rather than mod esty.
"I am free in Jesus!" Com missioner Abadie retorted. "I don't have to be naked to be free!"
Shouting above the uproar, he spelled out "Hair" as "'H' for hypocrite, 'At' for abomin able, 'I' for impious, 'R' for repugnant!"
It was good box office at the Saint‐Martin, but it bore the seeds of violence. When 150 Salvation Army troops marched past at matinee time Wednesday, bearing pla cards such as "Porno Publi cations Into the Fire," some 30 young extremists greeted them with obscene gestures. Then the youths turned and pushed into the theater, creat ing a new uproar. They de manded that the show be free for all.
"Hair" has a scene in which two fake policemen tell the audience it is under arrest for complicity in pornography. This time the management called real policemen, who put the intruders out.
