John de Ruiter
29 may – 2 June 2019
It is with great joy that we again have the honor to announce the return of renowned philosopher, John de Ruiter, to Scandinavia. Due to the previously fully booked retreats with John, we have this year extended the retreat one extra day – a 5 day retreat. Through silent connection and incisive dialogue with questioners, John will continue to uncover life's meaning, once again this summer at the Møn Retreat Centre.
Canadian Philosopher John de Ruiter is an innovative voice for spiritual evolution, teaching that life's meaning can be known and lived through "core-splitting honesty." In his teens, John awakened to foundational levels of existence. Ever since, his life and teaching have been informed by that direct knowing, a true inspiration that he encourages in others.
John's meetings include silence, connection by eye-contact, and dialogue. They are an opportunity to come to rest while actively realizing deeper levels of being human, knowing what we really are, and allowing that greater reality to change our lives.

John is the son of Dutch immigrants to Alberta, Canada. His father was a shoemaker who taught the trade to his son when John was a boy. As a young man, John experienced years of turmoil after a tremendous awakening came and went. After three years reaching for it, John relaxed in 'absolute surrender and okayness,' and found again his well-spring of awakening. Since 1986, John has developed a vast body of teachings, sharing his awakening with hundreds of people around the world.
John's teaching focuses on complete honesty of heart, and the knowing within it. Openness and softness of heart is a major theme in John's meetings, allowing deeper levels of consciousness to change the whole person and life itself, only for the sake of that fundamental love.
In his home of Edmonton, Alberta, John established The College of Integrated Philosophy to hold regular meetings and seminars, as well a bustling cafe each weekend. John de Ruiter is a leading presence of consciousness and love in today's world, providing a doorway that is both simpler and more brilliant than you can imagine.

There appears to be no backing down by President Muhammadu Buhari on his resolve to make anti-corruption and accountability the fulcrum of his administration as he issued fresh orders to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to account for funds that were stolen but recovered by the Commission.
In fact, the President also instructed the EFCC not to be distracted by negative comments from some quarters on its operations, especially as they affect some of those who have been named in the now infamous $2.1b arms scandal.
This is coming at a time when the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP – which has had a few of its leaders arrested and detained in Buhari's anti-corruption crusade – and the All Progressives Congress, APC, which is the ruling party, are trading words on the propriety or otherwise of the approach of the EFCC executing the anti-graft war.
Buhari's fresh orders to EFCC
Sunday Vanguard was reliably informed by Aso Rock Presidential Villa sources that the recent visits of the Chairman, EFCC, Mr Ibrahim Magu, to the seat of power, where he was said to have had audience with Buhari, may be a pointer to the seeming micro-management of the anti-corruption drive.
Although the source did not make full disclosures about what transpired at the private meeting between the President and Magu, Sunday Vanguard was made to understand that far from the allegation of tele- guiding the EFCC, "Mr. President wanted a very clear picture regarding accountability and the exact amount of funds already recovered from some of those who were said to be making refunds to the coffers of the Federal Government of Nigeria".
It was learnt that Buhari's express orders to the EFCC boss was to the effect that the funds already recovered must be accounted for.
Whereas this was not an indictment on the current leadership of the EFCC, Sunday Vanguard gathered that some of the issues that were already subjects of controversy even before Magu took over as the Commission's boss needed to be sorted out.
Specifically, the activities of the EFCC regarding recovery of looted funds under Ibrahim Lamorde, the immediate past EFCC boss, were brought into sharp focus.
Buhari has vowed that all stolen funds would be recovered.

by Laura Johnson, Communications Coordinator, Washington State Conservation Commission
In 2015, Washingtonians began making jokes about "the rain drop" becoming the newest endangered species. But our drought is no laughing matter. Gardens wilted, streams ran dry, and crops were lost.
The drought impacted communities across Washington in different ways. Fortunately, each county is served by at least one conservation district, and they can help you find the right water conservation strategy for your property. The following are examples of projects conservation districts may be able to help you with.
Around the home: Water-wise landscaping
|Heritage Garden
Benton Conservation District
- Heritage Gardens promote the use of native, culturally significant plants and low water-use landscaping. These are sprouting up throughout the United States. Converting lawn to Heritage Gardens can save thousands of gallons of water per year, protecting landscapes during drought years like 2015 and into the future. Benton and Franklin Conservation Districts, in partnership with the Columbia Basin Chapter of the Washington Native Plant Society, are implementing a Heritage Garden Program that offers local landowners free information, on-site recommendations, and a workshop on November 14. Learn more about Benton Conservation District's response to the drought.
- Smartscaping or Xeriscaping provides another lawn alternative. These landscapes include a mix of plants, trees, and edibles that require little to no irrigation, even in periods of drought. Spokane Conservation District's SmartScape website provides free tips, plant suggestions, and even landscape designs to help you get started.
- When the clouds finally break, rain gardens allow you to use runoff from hard surfaces, such as roofs and driveways, to water your plants. They also replenish groundwater and reduce ground pollutants. Kitsap Conservation District offers free site visits to landowners in unincorporated Kitsap County to discuss options, and they may be able to offer financial assistance. Several conservation districts, especially in the Puget Sound region, also offer low-cost rain barrel workshops. Or, watch a video on how to build a rain barrel from Snohomish Conservation District.
On the farm: Using less and retaining more
|Sprinkler irrigation system
Kittitas Conservation District
- Improving irrigation efficiency builds drought resilience by reducing water use and reducing the amount of sediment and pollutants that flow off fields into nearby waterways. Many conservation districts offer cost-share to help landowners cover the expense of upgrading to more water-efficient irrigation systems, such as center pivot sprinklers. In the last two years Kittitas County Conservation District has assisted over 12 landowners with sprinkler conversion projects.
- Many conservation districts across the state help landowners implement Irrigation Water Management (IWM). IWM plans help landowners determine the volume, frequency, and application of irrigation water for the most efficient water use. The plans are based on specific site conditions, such as soil type, crop grown, and slope.
- Direct seed and no-till farming not only improves soil health, it also benefits water conservation. Conventional plow-based tillage buries crop residue (stalks, stubble, and leaves left after a crop is harvested) in the ground. With direct seed and no-till practices, crop residue is retained on the surface. The residue helps increase water infiltration and reduce evaporation. Many conservation districts offer direct seed equipment rental programs. You can learn more about the practice on this fact sheet from Spokane Conservation District.

"Saw" and "Insidious" writer Leigh Whannell might be teaming with his fellow Aussie genre filmmakers the Spierig brothers ("Daybreakers") for a new sci-fi project called "Stem".
Whannell tells Bloody Disgusting that: "it's a sci-fi film in the vein of the Terminator, set in the near future. At the moment it's got the Spierig brothers attached to direct, so we might shoot it in Australia and make it kind of an Aussie genre dream team."
Whannell hopes to get the film made in 2014. His immediate next film in cinemas, "Insidious: Chapter 2," hits September 13th.

As you can see, I used one of the big brown paper bags that our kits used to come in as my base and just folded the paper "harmonica style" to create pockets. Then I decorated the paper using the acrylic paint and layered papers and die cuts on top. Then I went on to create the filling for my pocket letter. Once I had gathered all the different pieces, I then went on to mark the width of each pocket and sewed lines along each pocket.
I used the stamp from the Classified kit: memory keeping edition and some lined paper to create some fun stationery for my pen pal and set aside one of the pages to write my own letter.
Here are some of the items I included in the letter: a glassine bag with some sequins and a flair button (all from the Cocoa Daisy Memory Keeping kits "Shine Bright"), a partial pack of enamel shapes (from the Cocoa Daisy Memory Keeping kits "Always") where I cut down a piece of the backing paper from one of the packages and added it all into another little bag of packaging. A bag with leftover die cuts, I again removed the backing and replaced it with a scrap of patterned paper and added a piece of ribbon to the top. And finally some washi samples from the Planner kits as well as the Cocoa Daisy Memory Keeping kits "Shine Bright" that I wrapped around a used Cable Car ticket.
Finally, I used the new yellow polka dot bag that contained our Memory Keeping kits this month to create an envelope. Because I am not so sure about the paper holding up while traveling all the way to the Philippines I used packing tape very liberally.
Here is a closer look at the pocket letter! I can't tell you how excited I am to send it off to my friend who has been waiting for a reply from me for such a long time. Thank you so much for letting me share this with you today!

If a student receives special education services, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) entitles him or her to certain rights in planning for transition to life after school. Make sure you are familiar with those rights and consider ways you can help assure the most successful transition planning for your child as he or she prepares for life after high school.
The transition planning process
Under law, a transition plan to support successful post-school employment and education must be developed for every student with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) by the time they reach the age of 15. The plan must include a statement addressing the transition to adult life and information on the student's unique needs, preferences, and interests. The plan should lay out goals with regard to training, education, employment, and independent living skills necessary for success as an adult.
Students' rights in transition planning
At the age of 12, students must begin to receive vocational assessments, which take information from interviews with the student, parent/guardian, and teacher and are intended to help students begin their planning for life after high school.
At the age of 15, all IEPs must include the following pieces specific to transition from school to post-school activities:
- A statement of the student's needs.
- Age-appropriate, measurable goals for post-secondary life based on appropriate transition assessments that relate to training, education, employment, and where appropriate, independent living skills.
- A list of activities to help the student achieve those goals.
- A statement of responsibilities expected of the student, family, school or other agencies to promote the student's transition plan.
In the year the student exits or graduates, the school must complete a Student Exit Summary detailing present levels of performance, any accommodations or supports the student will require, post-secondary goals, and a list of agencies to provide support to achieve those goals. All students with disabilities have a right to stay in school or return to school until the year they turn 21, or achieve a Local, Regents, or Advanced Regents Diploma (see below for more detail).
After students complete high school or turn 21, they will no longer be entitled to special education services under the IDEA, but they will be entitled to accommodations for disabilities as well as services from certain government agencies listed below under other laws. This is an important shift, as it signals the young person's move from a system where they were entitled to services (services should have found them) to one where they are eligible for accommodations and/or services (they need to seek out the accommodations and/or services).
Participating in transition planning
In helping your child plan what to do and where to go when he/she finishes high school, help him/her consider next steps and what they will need to achieve transition goals. Think about the things that interest him/her, things that he/she is good at, and skills he/she can develop to determine what is right for him/her as an individual. Young people should talk to their guidance counselors, but they should think beyond that, too. Once your child has decided on a career or educational pathway to explore, you will need to help him/her think about what to do to get there.
Transition planning works best when students are involved, so prepare your child to self-advocate.
- Encourage young people with special education needs to read their IEPs and transition plans, or assist them with reading and understanding both.
- Help your child understand his/her disability and medical needs, and teach your child to ask for the supports he/she needs. Parent to Parent's information sheet, Addressing Health Care in the IEP [PDF], explores how an appropriate transition plan for students with on-going health care needs should include attention to health care responsibility and the development of self-advocacy skills.
- Help students identify their strengths, weaknesses, interests, and goals. Encourage students to think about long-term goals and what they need to do to reach them. Introduce students to adult role models with disabilities, and encourage experience and independence.
What can parents do to help assure better transition plans?
- Inform your child's teacher if your child wants to lead the IEP meeting. He or she can always ask for help during the meeting if it gets too tough.
- Communicate with the rest of the IEP team early about assessments required under law for developing transition plans. Urge transition planning to begin earlier than age 15.
- Talk to agencies already involved with your child and get their help related to transition planning. Identify new possible resources to help your child transition to life after high school.
- Practice job interviews and/or asking for accommodations with your child.
Diploma options in New York State
In thinking about life after high school, it is important to think about a student's educational path in high school. Every student should know his or her diploma goals. New York State currently offers four different diploma options: Advanced Regents Diploma, Regents Diploma, Local Diploma, and non-diploma options that include the Career Development and Occupational Studies (CDOS) Commencement Credential and the Skills and Achievement Commencement Credential (SACC). Make sure you know the requirements for each option so you can work to make sure your child is on track to complete those requirements before turning 21.
The New York State Education Department has a document answering frequently asked questions on the safety net options for students with disabilities. Advocates for Children of New York also has two helpful fact sheets, one on Graduation Options for Students with Disabilities [PDF] and another on High School Credential Options for Students with Disabilities [PDF].
Post-secondary education and career options
As students begin to think about life after high school, they need to consider all their options. Whether a student plans to go to a college or a trade school, or find a job right away, here are some resources for information and support during that transition period.
Disability disclosure
Have your child give thought to whether and when he/she would like to disclose information about his/her disability to employers and schools. For more information, see the National Collaborative on Workforce and Disability (NCWD)'s 411 on Disability Disclosure. College students with disabilities will need to self-identify and request services from their schools. Every college has an office of accessibility; Hunter College's Office of AccessABILITY has a particularly helpful website.
Preparing for college
If your child is thinking of going to college, help him or her explore options and understand how it will be different from high school:
- To learn about the rights and responsibilities of college students, see the website of the U.S. Department of Education Office of Civil Rights. You can also call the local Office of Civil Rights at (646) 428-3900 or the federal Office of Civil Rights at (800) 421-3481.
- Best Colleges has a page dedicated to Resources for Students with Disabilities.
- Think College offers information, resources, and strategies for students with intellectual disabilities. Other websites have lists of disability-friendly colleges for students with physical disabilities and students with learning disabilities that families may find helpful.

Many of us have struggled with losing weight. We've tried diet after diet attempting to rid our body of those pesky extra pounds we wish would just disappear. If you're one of the many individuals who has been looking for the answer to your diet and weight loss needs, a medical weight loss program such as that offered by Dr. Vadim Surikov in New York could fit your needs exactly.
You may be surprised to learn that what you eat is really not the most important component to a successful diet. The amount you eat and even the time of day in which you eat can be far more crucial. Dr. Surikov is a weight loss physician in New York City who has spent many years developing his knowledge and understanding of those things which make losing weight possible and even easier.
Does it matter what time of day I eat?
Yes, yes, and yes. When you eat during the day can make an enormous difference in your journey toward a slimmer you. Many studies have been conducted that have examined just this, and the results are really quite amazing. One study conducted at the San Raffaele Rome Open University was particularly eye opening. In this study, researchers divided a group of women into two groups, one which consumed 70 percent of their daily calorie intake between breakfast and lunch, while the other women consumed 55 percent of their calories during the same period. Each group consumed the remainder of their calories with an afternoon snack, dinner, and late night snacking.
At the conclusion of the study, it was found that those women who consumed the vast majority of their calories during the earlier parts of the day were able to lose far more weight and inches from their waistline than the other group. They also demonstrated a healthier metabolism than those individuals who ate more during the evening. Over the span of the three month trial, the average ""earlier eater"" was able to lose about 33 percent more off their waistline and 3.75 more pounds than their ""later eater"" counterparts.
What does Dr. Surikov recommend to the patients at his NYC clinic?
In order to maintain a healthy diet and facilitate weight loss, Dr. Surikov recommends eating most of your calories during the early parts of the day. On the flipside, dinner and nighttime eating should be minimal. Getting enough sleep is also crucial as it helps to boost metabolism and help with digestion which makes losing weight easier.
Losing weight also means that your primary focus needs to be on the number of calories you consume more than what exactly you eat. Making sure that you eat fewer calories than you expend each day is a must and this is something that Dr. Surikov emphasizes to all of his patients who are members of his medical weight loss regimen.
The beauty of his weight loss program is that patients are able to eat what they like in moderation. When you work with Dr. Surikov, he will help you to develop healthy diet and exercise habits and will provide you with supplements when needed, such as phentermine which can help to curb your appetite and keep you from caving in to all of your cravings.
Schedule a Consultation with Dr. Vadim Surikov in NYC
Since 1989, Dr. Surikov has been working with patients in New York City who have long dreamed of shedding the extra weight and enjoying a slimmer, healthier physique. With all of the fad diets that are marketed on a daily basis, it can be difficult to determine which methods are the most effective. Fortunately, Dr. Surikov is a qualified physician who has done all of the research for you and is willing and eager to share his experience with the patients in his medical weight loss program.
Dr. Surikov takes a very thorough approach which includes extensive physical exams and consultations prior to beginning his medical weight loss journey. To make his program even more appealing, its quite affordable for patients and is easy to follow and stick with, which is why so many of his patients experience great results. To schedule a consultation and to take advantage of the new patient discount Dr. Surikov offers at his clinic, give his office a call today at 347-599-9118.

Home insurance is necessary to protect one of the largest investments you'll likely make in your lifetime. Homeowners purchase coverage to protect their homes and belongings from specified perils, all the while hoping they'll never have to file an insurance claim.
Standard policies can protect a home and its contents from disasters such as fire, wind, theft, hail and more, depending on your provider and the coverage you select.
About one in every 15 insured homes has a claim each year, according to the Insurance Information Institute (III). Here's a look at the five most common claims.
1. Wind and hail
The most common types of insurance claims are wind and hail. These claims can include hailstorms and windstorms, such as tornadoes and hurricanes. These perils are typically covered by home insurance, but may have to be purchased as a separate policy, depending on the region in which you live.
If you live in Tornado Alley or in coastal states along the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, your basic home insurance coverage may not include wind and hail. Call your agent to discuss your options, and ensure that your home is covered from these perils if you live in areas where they're common.
2. Water damage and freezing
Much of the country experiences low temperatures during the winter. So low, in fact, that those homes can fall victim to burst and/or leaking pipes, if not properly insulated. The good news is that this category of water damage, as well as rainwater and ice storms, istypically covered by home insurance policies.
Inspect your pipes to ensure that there aren't any leaks. Keep pipes insulated during the winter, and run warm water through all faucets and shower heads occasionally to help prevent freezing — and subsequently bursting — pipes.
3. All other property damage
According to the III, this category includes vandalism and malicious mischief. Here are a few examples:
- Your home is egged.
- Outdoor lights or windows are broken.
- Someone digs up your garden.
- Your trees or bushes are cut or slashed.
- Your locks are tampered with.
- Your home is defaced with spray paint.
Standard home insurance policies can cover these types of perils. If this coverage isn't listed in your policy, talk to your agent about adding it.
4. Theft
Imagine arriving home after work and seeing your front door kicked in or a window shattered. Upon further investigation, you find your home ransacked. There's a blank space on the wall where the flat-screen TV was, your laptop is nowhere to be found, and your earrings and necklaces have been plucked from the jewelry box on your dresser.
There were an estimated 2,159,878 burglaries in 2010, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and 74 percent occurred at residential properties.
Consider these tips to decrease the likelihood of your home being burglarized:
- Invest in a home security system, and make sure it's working properly. One of the biggest deterrents for burglars is a sign in your front yard advertising that your home is protected by a security system.
- Alert police and a trusted neighbor when you're traveling. If you're going out of town for a long time, police can drive by your home to make sure that nothing looks suspicious. Neighbors also can keep an eye on your house and collect your mail to avoid newspapers piling up, which signals to burglars that no one is home.
- Don't hide a spare key outside. Hiding a spare key is a game of Russian roulette that you should avoid playing. No matter how great your hiding place is, a burglar could still find it and gain access to your home. Give your spare key to a friend instead.
- Always secure doors and windows. Before leaving your home, double check that all doors and windows are locked so burglars aren't able to simply walk in.
5. Fire and lightning
Although these perils aren't the most frequent types of claims, they are among the most expensive. The average fire and lightning claim between 2009 and 2013 was $37,153, which is $17,687 more than the second-most severe types of claims (bodily injury and property damage), and $29,412 more than the third-costliest claims (wind and hail), according to the III.
Whether a grease fire in the kitchen ignites and sets your entire home ablaze, or lightning strikes and throws your electrical system out of whack, you could receive help from your insurance provider to repair damage or replace what's been destroyed.
Call your carrier to make sure these perils are covered and to discuss the parameters of your policy. If your home were to burn to the ground, it's imperative that you have the correct amount of coverage to help you rebuild.
Minimize losses
To minimize losses from these typically covered perils, create or update a home inventory and review your policy annually.
If you're unfamiliar, a home inventory is a complete list of all your possessions and their values that you can present to your home insurance provider if/when you file a claim in order to speed up the process.
If you don't already have one, take the time to create one. Trying to remember everything you own — and how much you spent on each item — when your home is in disrepair due to a covered peril is extremely difficult and daunting. Save yourself the added stress by creating the inventory now, making multiple copies, and storing them in safe spaces.
Also, review your policy each year and talk it through with your agent. Your needs may vary greatly with each passing year, and it's important to make sure you have the right coverage to protect yourself, your home and your family.

The Fresh Air Ordinance for the city of Glendale is a joke because I have been imploring Neighborhood Services to enforce the ordinance against my violating neighbors for nearly three years. The key is enforcement since smokers obviously know that the ordinance is all bark and no bite.
Sure the non-smoking signs are up and multiple visits were made to the violators, but to the best of my knowledge, the tenants and property owner of the adjacent apartment complex have not been fined because the tenants continue to smoke.
Enforcement seems to be the main reason since fines can only be implemented if they are caught in the act of smoking, which is ridiculous. Making matters worse, the enforcement arm of the ordinance, Neighborhood Services, is not available after regular business hours and weekends when most of the smoking violations occur.
The inability of the city to enforce the ordinance has been pathetic. I think I may have to settle this matter in civil court.

SPDY is a new networking protocol used for speeding up the web. It combines with http protocol with several speed related features that can reduce page load time. It uses stream multiplexing and header compression to improve speed.
In order to use SPDY, a web server and a browser that both support SPDY is needed. Google chrome and newer versions of Firefox support SPDY protocol. In Apache HTTPD server mod_spdy module add support to SPDY protocol. SPDY protocol uses HTTPS so site need to serve content over HTTPS in order to benefit from mod_spdy.mod_spdy serves requests like Apache worker MPM. It serves requests using an internal thread pool which interact badly with non-thread-safe Apache modules. In order to server php over mod_spdy use mod_fcgid rather than mod_php.This is because as some PHP libraries are not thread safe using mod_fcgid will run PHP in a separate process thus avoiding thread safety issues.

Pleased to report that my book Stay Healthy, Live Longer, Spend Wisely - Making Intelligent Choices in America's Healthcare System recently was awarded
WINNER - 2009 in the Health category
FINALIST - 2009 in the Medical category
These awards follow the 2008 Next Generation Indie Book Award
WINNER - 2008 in the Health and Wellness category
As well as awards from the Northern California Publishers and Authors in 2007
WINNER - 2007 in the Best Nonfiction How-To Book, Best Interior Text Layout
Why so many awards? Simple. Partially luck. More importantly, healthcare is an area of much bewilderment and confusion for most individuals except for insiders like myself, doctors. If you don't have a doctor in the family, who do you turn to?
From one of the nation's most respected doctors and experts on patient safety and improving quality, Dr. Robert Wachter, Author of Internal Bleeding: The Truth Behind America's Terrifying Epidemic of Medical Mistakes. Professor and Associate Chairman, Dept. of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco notes that:
"Our health care system is becoming increasingly complex and confusing. More than ever, staying and getting well requires that patients be informed about their care. This thoughtful and engaging book is all you need to get the right care – reading it is like having a doctor in the family."
As much as I appreciate the awards, what is more important is that I hope to empower you to take charge of your health, because no one else will be more interested or vested in having the best care except for yourself.

Jr High Parents' Update – May 12th
Every year, I find it very important to use at least one series to go back to the basics. There are some spiritual disciplines that can get lost through the year for some of our students, and with the countdown to summer on, I think it is smart to take a few weeks to go over some simple topics like the Bible, prayer and friendships.
This week we kick off our series with a week on the Bible, and helping our students remember that we can always rely on the Bible, no matter what the situation. It is truly a light unto our path.
We want to encourage our students to open up their Bibles often, and to have it become part of their daily routine.
Here are the follow-up questions that our students will be discussing in small groups:
Question 1: On a scale of 1 to 10, how important would you say that your Bible is to you right now (10 Being very important)? Be open and honest, and explain why.
Question 2: What are some ways that you rely on the Bible? What challenges and situations in your life make you go to your Bible before anything or anyone else?
Question 3: Is there anyone in your life that you think has developed fantastic habits when it comes to reading the Bible?
Question 4: What would types of things would make reading your Bible more appealing? Would it be easier if you knew someone else was reading the same things that you were reading, and you could talk about things that don't make sense to you?
Question 5: How do you plan on making the Bible become more important in your life?
Here is our key verse for the week:
Your word is a lamp to guide my feet
and a light for my path.
Psalm 119:105
Thank you so much for investing in the lives of your Jr Highs each week!

Jr High Parents' Update – April 21st
Can we be honest with ourselves for a second? Too often, when we talk about the idea of being "sent out", we tell ourselves that if God is sending us, things are going to be great! But if we're being real, we know that there are going to be challenges. A life in Christ, and a life that is being sent out, is going to be difficult. Not only did Jesus not promise us a perfect life, he actually promises us challenges and difficulties, but ultimately, the reward far outweighs the pain. When we read about Paul and Barnabas and their missionary journeys in Acts 14, we see that they face challenges, but God makes all things possible.
This week we want to show our Jr Highs that yes, there are going to be challenges, but yes, God will provide, no matter what. Make sure that you are open and honest this week about stories about times that you've faced challenges, and how God brought you out on the other end. Maybe you're currently facing challenges, and honestly can't think of how God is going to provide, and don't be afraid to share that with our students. These are things that can have a truly great impact on their lives, and built trust.
Here are the follow-up questions that our students will be discussing in small groups:
Question 1: When you think of where you are being "sent out" to, can you think of things that may be challenging? What things are they?
Question 2: Have you ever faced a challenge that felt impossible to deal with? What happened in the end? Did you make it out on the other end?
Question 3: What types of things help you the most to deal with challenges? People, things, scripture, etc.?
Question 4: If you were in Paul and Barnabas shoes in Acts 14, what would you have done after the challenges that they faced?
Question 5: How can you come together as a small group to encourage each other when someone is dealing with challenges in the place that they have been "sent out"?
Here is our key verse for the week:
19 Then some Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium and won the crowds to their side. They stoned Paul and dragged him out of town, thinking he was dead. 20 But as the believers gathered around him, he got up and went back into the town. The next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.
Acts 14:19-20

Jr High Parents' Update – April 14th
In Matthew 28, Jesus gives his disciples a daunting, yet beautiful mission; Go out into all the world and make disciples. This simple piece of scripture was not only the mission of Christ's twelve disciples, but it was also the mission of the early Church, and our mission today. Do we know what it means to be sent out? Who does Jesus choose to send out? These are questions that we need to ask ourselves to set us on the right path, and we want to share these responses with our Jr Highs. Acts 13 lays out the first missionary journey that Paul takes with Barnabas, as they travel and "go out into the world to make disciples". This is what Paul and Barnabas lived to do. They were truly sent out, and knew exactly what their mission was.
Our Jr Highs should learn to recognize the importance of this mission, and know that this mission isn't limited to those travel overseas to share the Gospel. We are all sent out, though the places we are sent to are very different. This week, challenge yourselves to think of where you are "sent", and how it looks in your own life. Follow that reflection up by sharing it with your students!
Here are the follow-up questions that our students will be discussing in small groups:
Question 1: Have you ever met someone that is a missionary to somewhere other than Canada? What were they like?
Question 2: Do you know anyone that has chosen to be a "missionary" in Canada? What do they do, and how is it different than missionaries in other countries?
Question 3: Do you understand the mission that Christ gave to His disciples, the Early Church and us today? Can it be confusing?
Question 4: Are there areas in your life that you think you've been sent out into? Where are the places that you feel you can "make disciples" and share the Gospel?
Question 5: What skills and character traits do you think you need to be "sent" out? Do you think it's something that only some people can do? Why?
Here is our key verse for the week:
2 One day as these men were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Dedicate Barnabas and Saul for the special work to which I have called them." 3 So after more fasting and prayer, the men laid their hands on them and sent them on their way.
Acts 13:2-3

Jr High Parents' Update – March 31st
It's officially the last week of our Whats His Name teaching series, and we want to end with something that our students can really chew on. In week 1, we talked about Paul's conversion, and it set us up to talk about Paul's Attitude in week 2, realizing that this moment of conversion completely changed Paul's attitude, which in turn absolutely changed everything for Paul, and for the Church. This week, we're going to talk about Paul's impact, comparing the impact that he had before his conversion, to the impact that he had afterwards. What a change!
After Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus, we see how Paul had such an incredible impact on Churches, and the Early Church, Individuals like Timothy, and Us today.
The question that we want to ask our students this week, is what their impact is like today? Do they have a positive impact on those around them, or do they think that they have more of a negative impact?
Like with Paul's story, we recognize that no one is lost, and we can all begin to have a positive impact on those around us. The question is whether or not we're willing to make the necessary adjustments.
This week, feel free to share your past experiences with your students. Share times that you've had positive impacts on the people around you, but at the same time, don't be afraid to share the times that you may have had a negative impact.
Here are the follow-up questions that our students will be discussing in small groups:
Question 1: In general, would you say that you have a positive, or a negative impact on the people that you interact with everyday? Does it change depending on the place (school, home, sports, clubs, etc.)
Question 2: Who in your life has the most positive impact on your life? Why do you think they have such a positive impact?
Question 3: How do you think that we change when people have positive impacts on us? What happens when people have negative impacts?
Question 4: What area of your life do you think you need to change the most so that you can be more of a positive impact?
Question 5: What are ways that you as a small group can have more of a positive impact in FUEL?
Here is our key verse for the week:
21 After preaching the Good News in Derbe and making many disciples, Paul and Barnabas returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch of Pisidia,
Acts 14:21

Jr High Parents' Update – March 24th
This week we'll continue on with our series, Whats His Name. A couple of weeks ago, David Looby shared his thoughts on Paul's Conversion, pointing out the importance of that moment in Saul/Paul's life. It changed everything!
As we continue on, this week we'll discuss Paul's attitude and how it changed so significantly. Can you imagine if someone in your life, who you believe to be incredibly far from God and from a relationship with Him, had an incredible moment and made a decision to follow Christ? How incredible would that be! That's what happened to Saul that day on the road to damascus, and it was so incredible that even the disciples were sure whether or not to believe it. This attitude change was so incredible that Saul would need a change in name, and he would become Paul. He immediately began to share Christ's gospel with everyone he came in contact with, planting churches, lifting up other believers, and giving everything that he had to Christ and His Church.
We can learn so much from Paul! Our attitudes are often pretty bad when it comes to our relationship with Christ. Some things that we're called to are hard, and our attitudes sometimes reflect that. But if we can have an attitude change like Paul had, even on a much more basic level, there is no stopping what we can do for Christ, and His Church!
Tonight, let's remind our students of that, and help them to recognize the power that their attitude has over them.
Here are the follow-up questions that our students will be discussing in small groups:
Question 1: Can you think of a time that your attitude needed to be changed, and once it was, it completely changed something that you were trying to do?
Question 2: Have you experienced someone who's attitude is constantly terrible? What was that person like to be around?
Question 3: If you're comfortable sharing with the group, what is your attitude like right now when it comes to your relationship with God? Is it good or bad?
Question 4: A What do you think your life would look like if you had a great attitude towards your relationship with Christ? Talk about the idea of "fruit" in your lives, and what "fruit" would suddenly appear.
Question 5: As a small group, how can you encourage each other to have good attitudes when it comes to your relationship with Christ? How do you keep each other accountable?
Here is our key verse for the week:
26 When he came to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he really was a disciple. 27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. He told them how Saul on his journey had seen the Lord and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had preached fearlessly in the name of Jesus. 28 So Saul stayed with them and moved about freely in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
Acts 9:26-28

Sr High Parent's Update – Feb 4th
Week 1 – Love is …
February 4th
Main Thing…
It is so important to gain a healthy biblical view on these important topics in order to combat the lies that the media feeds you. Love is not hormones, feelings, or lust. Love is designed by God and we must understand what scripture says about it in order to understand it fully.
Scratch the Surface…
- High's and lows
- What is your favourite cartoon love story?
Dig a Little Deeper…
- Was there anything that stuck out to you from tonight's message?
- What are some things that love is not …
- What does the bible teach that love is …
- What does it mean in the bible when it says "do not awaken love before it so desires?"
- Sexual sin starts with a thought … what does that mean?
- You could talk about your own journey honouring God in this area
- You could share your thoughts on what to do to strive for purity and holiness
- Pray with your group
- Is there anyone who wants prayer in this area?
Key Scriptures and thoughts…
1 Corinthians 6:18-20
"Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."
Ephesians 5:31
"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."
Exodus 20:14
"Do not commit adultery"
Song of Songs 3:5
"Do not awaken love until it so desires."
Song of Songs 8:7
"Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away."
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
Song of Songs 8:6
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.

Jr High Parents' Update – Feb 3rd
This is the month that we've all been waiting for! The week that we do our best to help our Jr High students through the world of dating, relationships, love and sex that they are starting to face on a constant basis.
This week we want to tackle this idea of why we have to talk about it. Though these topics can be very uncomfortable for a lot of our students, the reality is that they are facing these questions on a constant basis at school, and with their friends. Our goal is to allow for vertical learning (hearing about these topics from adults who are more mature in their faith), rather than horizontal learning (hearing about these topics from their peers only, and people who are far from mature in their faith).
Culture around us often tells us things that are absolute lies. From music, to movies and TV, we see so many skewed views of what relationships are, and the cheapness of them. We want to do our best to point our students towards Christ, and the example of true love that he set before us.
This month, don't be afraid to share your experiences, so that our students see first hand that they aren't alone in their questions and concerns.
Here are the follow-up questions that our students will be discussing in small groups:
Question 1: What do you know about dating? Do you have many friends that are currently in relationships?
Question 2: What do your friends, whether they're in relationships or not, say about dating?
Question 3: Do you think relationships are something that we need to talk about? Why or why not?
Question 4: How would you describe a healthy relationship? Do you have any examples of people around you (friends, leaders, parents, etc.) that you would say have healthy relationships?
Question 5: Though Christ was not in a dating relationship with anyone, what do you think He taught us about relationships and dating?
Thank you so much for investing in the lives of your Jr Highs each week!

I'm So Confused
Week 3 – Clay
January 28th
Main Thing …
One of the most powerful analogies in the Bible that relates to our growth and transformation is the analogy of the potter and the clay. The bible says that God is the potter and that we are the clay. Immersing ourselves in regular and daily scripture reading is one of the fundamental ways that we can allow God to begin to mold and shape us into who he wants us to be. Without the regular bible reading we become hard and stubborn, pushing back against God's hand.
Scratch the Surface…
- High's and lows
- Did you ever try eating modeling clay when you were a kid?
Dig a Little Deeper…
- In what way can we, as humans, be compared to clay?
- Why is soft clay easier to work with than hard clay?
- How does the water help make the hard clay soft?
- How can you apply all this to your life?
- How important is daily scripture in your life?
- Do you find it difficult to set aside time for the Bible?
- What is the hardest part about setting aside time?
- You could talk about your own journey with reading your Bible
- You could share your struggles with having a hard heart
- Pray with your group
- Is there anyone who wants God to mold and shape their lives more?
Key Scriptures and thoughts…
Isaiah 64:8
But now, O Lord, You are our Father, We are the Clay and You our potter; And all of us are the work of Your Hand.
Jeremiah 18
So I went to the potter's house, and sure enough, the potter was there, working away at his wheel. Whenever the pot the potter was working on turned out badly, as sometimes happens when you are working with clay, the potter would simply start over and use the same clay to make another pot.

Jr High Parent's Update – Jan
So what next? Jesus promised the Holy Spirit, and the disciples/early Church experienced the coming of the Holy Spirit, but what's next? How does it affect us today? These questions are exactly what we'll be challenging our students with tonight. We want them to understand that they have the exact same opportunity that the early Church had when the Holy Spirit first came.
Access to the Holy Spirit is equal to all of us, once we have a relationship with Christ, but every day we have to call upon the Holy Spirit to fill us anew. Our relationship with the Holy Spirit is something that we must continue to maintain, almost like a fire in the middle of the forest. We must continue to ask the Holy Spirit to help us feed the fire so that it does not fade out in our lives.
This week we want to present this to our students as something that should be important to them. This power that the Holy Spirit offers us is something that we want each of our students to be aware of, and conscious of. This may be a week filled with tough questions, but embrace it this week!
Here are the follow-up questions that our students will be discussing in small groups:
Question 1: Can you think of anything in your life that you constantly have to maintain? Is it worth the time to maintain it in the end?
Question 2: Do you think it's worth they effort to maintain a relationship with the Holy Spirit in your life? Why or why not?
Question 3: What types of things in your life do you think can happen when you constantly maintain the Holy Spirit in your life?
Question 4: How do you plan on allowing the Holy Spirit to take over the way that you tell people about Christ?
Question 5: How can you encourage each other in your small group to maintain the Holy Spirit in your lives weekly?
Out Key Verse:
2 All at once there was a sound from heaven like a powerful wind. It filled the house where they were sitting. 3 Then they saw tongues which were divided that looked like fire. These came down on each one of them. 4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Then they began to speak in other languages which the Holy Spirit made them able to speak.
Acts 2:2-4

Week 2 – Cannonball
January 21st
Main Thing …
Perhaps during all this cold weather and snow, you have dreamed a little bit about those hot and sunny days of summer. A summer would not be complete without the opportunity to jump off a diving board and do a massive cannonball into a pool. Reading the Bible is very much like jumping into a pool. There is a huge difference between dipping your toes in and doing a cannonball. We will be exploring some ways that we can dive into scripture and discover how it can have a huge impact on our lives.
Scratch the Surface…
- High's and lows
- What do you miss about summer?
Dig a Little Deeper…
- What are some reasons why reading your Bible is like doing a cannonball?
- Why do you think that reading your Bible is important?
- What are some challenges to reading your Bible?
- How is reading your Bible similar to eating food?
- How does the Holy Spirit help us when we read the Bible?
- How does reading the Bible change your perspective?
- You could talk about your own journey with reading your Bible
- You could share your struggles with reading your Bible
- Pray with your group
- Is there anyone who wants to read more and wants to pray about it?
Key Scriptures and thoughts…

Have I mentioned lately how much I love thrifting? I often wonder how people can throw out treasure like the one above. The picture in the right is not a joke. Yoga 1970s style. I'm in love. Maybe because I stayed up until 1 am yesterday night and then slept on my couch. I just didn't feel like sleeping my bed - I'm such a rebel.
Yesterday I wrote something in my journal like 'The inspirational Jesus is coming back to me' - like whaaaat? Haha I kinda felt like in trance when I wrote that. No I'm not on drugs, I'm too cheap for those..
But I seriously felt like there was a ton of inspiration out there, that I needed to take in and because having everything on your screen is fine and dandy, but having something in your hands is even better, I decided it was time for 'The Big Book Of All Inspirational Things'. I just came up with the title right now, haha! Has anyone ever watched that show with the kid and this huge book that he could jump into? No? Well it was great. I should go and find it.
Albums are expensive and I'm a cheap gal, so this was why I headed to the thrift store. Obviously the walk over would even have been worth it, if I would only have found the yoga book. Anyway, I found this old cook book from 1974. I feel like it has made a career in some old ladies bookshelves for decades and now it finally got its life back. Horray!
Sometimes things just come together, and so it happened that I came across this book during a phase of being obsessed with plain white books and black and white pattern. I almost stopped breathing when I saw this inner binding. Whipped cream traces! I'm dying!! On the cover it says 'The cold kitchen's delicacies' which I think is a hilarious title for an inspiration-scrapbook. Oh I'm just sooo in love!
Since its a recipe book it is obviously filled with tons of recipes (and food porn as you can tell). The 1970s loved their easy foods though, I think. Think meat platters, fruit platters, 'The perfect Toast' (seriously, they got a recipe for that in there!) and loads of other cold goodness. Might try a recipe at some point.
Because sometime too much text might be distracting, I painted over it with acrylic paint. Don't you ever use water on book pages! Aaaand theeen - I went to town glueing down all the fancy pictures I had at hand or that I found yesterday during my late-night blog-reading session.
Did I mention I'm in love?
Lots of Love, Tabea ♥

I would guess they used JigSaw to do the work, although it doesn't seem difficult to do by hand. Maybe doing so would serve to test their work in a way that extracts the algorithm from the process; that might be useful.

The Stanley Cup and the world chess championship are other examples of besiegement contests. Any others?

Yeah, tough crowd. Maybe this will be more to their liking.
Nevertheless, I want to caution everyone that an intent to use this as a demonstration of the validity of astrology is inappropriate; such activity is almost certain to become a bootless exercise. This will not take the place of the search for the astrological mechanism.
It is not enough to show that a thing may or may not work. It is the why and how of a thing that is convincing, and that is true for astrology as well. Until we can link the astrological effect to measurable phenomena, science and the world at large will continue to refuse us any kind of legitimacy. Work such as the research into old algorithms is definitely worthwhile, because it is in just such endeavors that the potential for powerful insights resides.
And once again I want to make the central point: until we (astrologers) actually know what is going on, we will never be able to conclusively determine what parts of the astrological tradition work, and why they do or do not do so. Until we can do this, we remain as practitioners of an arcane art that is inaccessible to most people, as an elite group forever suspect of chicanery and worse.
I would strongly suggest that we keep these things in mind.
PS. Incidentally, an active interest in these types of research does *not* indicate that the researcher would (mis)use such techniques to the detriment of a client. Those who do, do not represent (we would fervently hope) the majority of professional astrologers, nor do they reflect the best traditions of astrological practice. Or such is my belief.

YORK City are hoping to recruit on-loan Tottenham winger Kenny McEvoy on a permanent basis.
The Minstermen have agreed to extend Bradley Fewster's loan spell from Middlesbrough, meanwhile, until the end of the season and are hoping a similar arrangement can be made with Huddersfield over centre-back Will Boyle.
Following a 1-0 defeat at fellow strugglers Yeovil that saw City return to the bottom of the Football League, Bootham Crescent chief Jackie McNamara is also planning to recruit a new right back and striker during the January transfer window.
McEvoy has only managed two starts for the Minstermen during his one-month switch from White Hart Lane, but made a lively second-half appearance in Somerset and McNamara reckons his speed will prove a strong asset during a vital four months for the club.
He said: "We're hoping to make Kenny McEvoy's move permanent. He's been out of the team for the last two or three games because of the form of others, but we changed things around in the second half (at Yeovil) and he brought an injection of pace.
"I think that's crucial at this level and, every time he gets on the ball, he puts a good cross into the box as well. We've also agreed with Middlesbrough that Brad Fewster will be staying with us until the end of the season, which I'm delighted about.
"He has got into some good positions during the last three games and, whilst he's been a bit hesitant with his finishing, that will come.
"I'm hoping we can keep Will (Boyle) too. I think he's keen to stay, so it's just a matter of Huddersfield agreeing to it."
Right-back Stefan O'Connor is expected to return to parent club Arsenal now, having suffered a groin injury at Huish Park, meaning midfielder Ben Godfrey became the fifth player in ten games to fill that role under McNamara following on from the transfer-listed Marvin McCoy, injured Eddie Nolan and loan recruit Jordan Lussey.
Whilst adding that Godfrey did well as a stop-gap measure, McNamara admitted he is hopeful that a specialist full back will be in place for City's next match at home to Newport on January 16, saying: "Stefan's loan is up now and he opened up his groin in the first half so had to come off after an hour and Ben Godfrey did very well there.
"I think he's played right-sided centre half before for the youth team, but we will be working on bringing in another right back during the next two weeks. It's an option to play Ben there, but it wouldn't be ideal and I think it's important we get someone in to help us.
"I'm working hard to do that and have got a few we've been looking at. It's just a matter of getting the deals over the line."
At left back, meanwhile, the City manager must decide whether to retain the services of Middlesbrough's Mark Kitching, who has only featured once since his Riverside switch, with McNamara citing Femi Ilesanmi as a reason for his lack of opportunities.
"Mark Kitching was ill so he missed the trip, but Femi's form has made it difficult for the lad," McNamara reasoned. "I think Femi has been our most-improved player during the last few weeks.
"He's done very well defensively and going forward at times, although we're working with him to improve his work in the final third and that will come."
On the desire to bring in cover and competition for target man Vadaine Oliver, McNamara also explained: "I still feel we need to add somebody else up there, because I'd like somebody to push Vadaine if he suffers a loss of form or come in if he gets injured or suspended."
McNamara was left irate, meanwhile, by the penalty decision that saw Matthew Dolan score the only goal of the game at Yeovil with Luke Summerfield appearing to win the ball cleanly during a challenge on Francois Zoko.
He was equally as upset when McEvoy was booked for simulation rather than awarded a spot kick for the visitors late on.
"I felt that we should have won," he declared. "We got into some encouraging positions and Danny Galbraith went very close on a couple of occasions.
"Other than our final pass and decision at times, there was nothing to worry about but a lot of decisions went against us. I didn't believe their penalty should have been one at the time and, having looked at it again, I still don't.
"Luke won the ball and the two players then collided with each other, so that's frustrating. I also thought we had two good shouts for a penalty too. For the second one, Kenny McEvoy had his legs taken away, but the referee decided to book him and said he dived.
"I have to be careful with what words I choose, but I felt the decisions to give them a penalty and not us were the difference and cost us the game. I was irate at the end because these little things can hurt you when you're down where we are."
City started with a 4-4-2 formation against the Glovers with James Berrett lining up on the right side of midfield and Fewster operating as a centre forward, but switched between that system and the more familiar 4-3-3 line-up on a couple of occasions during the game.
On that decision, McNamara explained: "I think you always look at the last game and I thought we could combat their 4-3-3. We should have done that with the right balls through to Vadaine and Brad and I think the players are capable of adapting on the pitch from 4-4-2 to 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1."
Despite defeat seeing his team prop up the League again, McNamara remains confident that the club will steer themselves way from trouble in coming weeks.
"We have improved during the last few matches and can only get better," he argued. "With the right recruitment, which is crucial, I've no doubt we can push up the table.
"At this moment, I'm disappointed, especially for the fans who we were really grateful to for coming to support us so far away and it's really disappointing not to send them home with three points, let alone one. But that should be a motivation after putting so much effort into the game and losing it due to matters beyond our control."
