The owners of the new White Peakhouse Gallery in Bakewell are planning an official opening event on Sunday June 28 from 4-7pm.
Cheryl and Lee Jenkins took over the former Ridgeway Gallery space at the end of March and had a whirlwind three months getting the business sorted.
They have an eclectic mix of modern and traditional styles, by exciting and accomplished artists, some familiar, others not so, and are keen to host a celebration of their new venture to showcase the works.
"We have an appreciation of many types of artwork, and wish to illustrate this on our first event," said Cheryl.
"The paintings we exhibit range from the dramatic realisation of Terence Storey's seascapes, to the sweeping expressive strokes of Derbyshire landscape painters Alison Tyldesley and Pauline Rignall. There's an exceptional freshness to locational artists Julian Mason and Steven McLoughlin, who have a talent for lighting a scene, whether being a green spring meadow or a tree lined summer stroll," she added.
The couple are also happy to house works by artists from further afield, such as prolific watercolourist Jane Betteridge and pastel painter Saville, both of whom are very new to exhibiting in Derbyshire.
To add to the variety on show contemporary sculpture in steel, ceramic and bronze sits alongside the paintings.
During the latter part of the opening event local artist Keith How will mark the event with a few words of introduction.
There will be complimentary wine and light refreshments and the couple welcome everyone to join them.

Hey everyone, I was thinking about the way people come across poetry and what that initial contact was that introduced us to a poem. Growing up in the 1980's my first feel for poetry came from Robin Williams and Director Peter Weir's 1989 film, Dead Poet's Society. I'm actually sure I'd enjoyed some Shel Silverstein that Mrs. Wagner read us in first grade, but Robin Williams made it epic.
Honestly, aside from a couple of good performances, notably Mr. William's, the movie isn't that good. It's heavy handed and slightly derivative. William's plays Mr. Keating, an English teacher at an all boys prep school. He's the righteous fire brand who hopes to fuel the boys out of their ultra conservative 1950's life. He does it with poetry. William's is awesome at oration, no doubt benefiting from his years as a stand up comedian. He gives the boys pieces of poetry by Frost, Keats, and Dickinson and fires them up but they don't ever analyze a damn thing. The writing is kinda weak and he totally blows the meaning of The Road Not Taken. I've set through a few commencement speeches that do the same. However to my twelve year old self who was thrilling on the adventures that summer of Batman, Indiana Jones, and even Field of Dreams, the climatic end of Dead Poet's Society was pretty fantastic. Mr. Keats is being dismissed for his rebel rousing ways and in a show of solidarity, the kids that made up The Dead Poets Society climb atop their desks and break all the rules and recite Walt Whitman's eulogy to Abraham Lincoln Oh Captain, My Captain. It was pretty cool then and even today. Have a great Memorial Day Weekend and keep up with several things considered here at Mid-American-Culture.
O Captain! My Captain!
And here's the Oh Captain ending to the film so I guess spoilers?

One of the first questions I get asked when I benchmark a clients social profiles is 'but how does that compare to everyone else?". It's a hard question to answer, mostly because good NZ-based social media stats are hard to come by, which is why there is so much buzz around the Digital In 2018 report recently released by Hootsuite and We Are Social.
While there's plenty in the report for NZ Marketers to be excited about, but what interested me was the social media analytics data that I could use to benchmark my client's results against. While there are always so many variables to take into account, sometimes it's handy to step back a bit and just see how far above (or below) average your own results are.
The report uses 12 months of data from January to December 2017 – so it's both robust and recent.
As is typical with social media, the minute something is published it's out of date. But the fact these numbers perfectly pre-date the recent Facebook algorithm changes, and the more recent change to the way Facebook reports organic reach, makes them twice as valuable. Not only can we use these numbers to benchmark our current performance, we can also use them to track any effects from these two changes.
Benchmarking Organic Reach
There's been a lot of chat about organic reach lately, yet if you look at the report below it seems, collectively at least, we don't have too much to stress about. Now admittedly the way this report calculates reach is far from ideal – they've taken the reach of a piece of content and divided it by the number of fans the page had on the day it posted the content to create an 'engagement rate'.
There's a lot wrong with calculating reach this way – it doesn't account for content going beyond your fanbase (either organically or through paid media) – but it does give a nice big sexy number which is why it is so commonly used. But if you calculate your own reach using the same formula, you can see how you compare – which is at least something.
When it comes to reach we're doing pretty well. Compared to global averages our community growth is healthier, our organic reach is higher, and more of us are using paid media to achieve our social media goals.
So how do you compare? Crunch the numbers and see which country you match closest with! (If you need help, let me know!).Share this blog post with someone who could use these numbers to benchmark their own results against.Click To Tweet
Benchmarking Engagement
When it comes to engagement, we could be doing better. It seems we've got photo and link posts pretty much sorted, but there's room for improvement when it comes to video.
You can use these numbers to benchmark your own results against by taking the total number of interactions (reactions, likes, comments, link clicks, other clicks, video views) and dividing it by the reach to create a percentage based 'engagement rate'.
Again, not my preferred method of tracking engagement. I prefer to use an 'interaction rate' based on total interactions as a percentage of impressions. You end up with a smaller, less sexier number, but one that's more easily comparable with results from other platforms where reach isn't available, and more like the results reported by other digital marketing channels. But that's a whole other blog post.
Overall we're below global average, particularly when it comes to video content.
And we're waaaay down the engagement rate list. Think you're doing better – crunch the numbers and see where you fit! (If you need help, let me know!).
Engagement rates have become even more critical with the recent changes to the Facebook algorithm (for a jargon-free, sky-is-falling free explanation of those changes, read this article).
If the content you want to create doesn't add value, won't create meaningful interactions, and can't provide a sensible answer to the "why should I care, why should I share?" question, then you may need to go back to the drawing board.Share this blog post with someone who could use these numbers to benchmark their own results against.Click To Tweet
Does Benchmarking Matter?
Yes. Absolutely. You bet.
Auditing your social channels and creating benchmarks for key metrics is a great way of finding out what you've been doing right, where you need to improve, and what targets you need to put in place to meet your business objectives. Comparing the results from each piece of content against your benchmarks is a quick and easy way to figure out what formats, topics and conversations work best, and where to focus your content production resources.

Exhibition Graphics
Exhibition Graphics for Shell Schemes can be printed for one off usage or for multiple useage.
Rollable Exhibition Graphics
Magiclad Shell Clad Exhibition Graphics are the best quality rollable graphics. They are reuseable, relatively easy to transport and best of all seamless. The fact that they look like rigid foamex graphics but can roll for easier transportation makes these style of exhibition graphics the goto best option. Ensuring that you have the correct shell clad clips for the various shell schemes is important so a little thought needs to go into checking out what shell schemes you will be using at the different events.
You can also use posters as a one off option. These graphics are printed on 200gsm photosatin poster paper but because the material is not laminated for protection and is thin, you can't recycle these graphics when you are attaching them to the shell walls with velcro.
The last option we recommend for rollable exhibition graphics is popup material with velcro to the reverse. They are quite thick in quality (425mic), have a crystal anti scuff laminate for protection and they are easy transported in cases.
Rigid Exhibition Graphics
More difficult to transport than rollable but extremely good looking panels when you use the shell clad clips. If not then you have to be aware that you will see the shell scheme upright beams in between the graphics.
You can use correx and foamex graphics for these style of graphics. Using correx 5mm with a vinyl laminate makes these graphic lightweight but if you are being particular you can see the indentation of the backing board.
Using foamex is completely flat and you can use 3mm and 5mm. We can add a laminate to protect these graphics for further use.
Remember that in a shell scheme you have booked electrics and therefore you are likely to cut the graphics if the fuse box for the electrics cannot be moved.
Fabric Exhibition Graphics
The most cost effective and best way to get a seamless graphic image across a shell scheme wall without building an actual exhibition stand is use the shell clad clips and then clad with fabric graphics. These are attached via velcro onto the shell clips and stretched across the whole walls.

Help! Hard Drive Survey
I now have three PC's in the house: The HP TX2z, the Windows Home Server, and the Home Theatre PC.
I have lots of hard drives (the WHS is 7.5TB at the moment), but for the purposes of boot drives, I have the following three to choose from:
- A Western Digital 76GB 10,000rpm Raptor
- An Intel 80GB X25-M G2 SSD
- A Patriot Torqx M28 128GB SSD
Here's the question: Which drive goes where? How do I maximise my bang for buck?
My current theory is to stick the 128GB SSD in the laptop (blend of speed and size), the Intel in the HTPC (raw speed, and there is another disk and a server there for TV recording duties), and the Raptor in the Home Server (by process of elimination).
Have I got it all wrong?

Vellore is considered to be one of the oldest surviving cities in South India. The city lies on the banks of the Palar river on the site of Vellore Fort. Vellore is situated between Chennai and Bangalore and the Temple towns of Thiruvannamalai and Tirupati. Vellore is famous for its Christian Medical College & Hospital or CMC, the largest and one of the most prestigious hospitals in India which is located in the heart of Vellore. (Under wikipedia GNU)
Places often frequented by Tourists in Vellore:
* Vellore Fort: The fort is one of the most perfect specimens of military architecture in Southern India. One of the interesting features of this fort is that there is a Hindu temple, Christian church and Muslim mosque within its ramparts. The Fort also houses the famous "Tipu Mahal", where Tipu Sultan is believed to have stayed with his family during the war with the British.
* State Government Museum: This state Government Museum is inside the fort and can be found on map and was opened to the public in 1985.
* Kavalur observatory (The Vainu Bappu Observatory): located in Kavalur in the Javadu Hills in Alangayam, Vellore District, the observatory is at an altitude of 725 m above mean sea level. Apart from being reasonably away from city lights and industrial areas, the location has been chosen in order to be closer to the earth's equator for covering both northern and southern hemispheres with equal ease. In addition, its longitudinal position is such that it is the only major astronomical facility between Australia and South Africa for observing the southern objects.The Largest Telescope in Asia with a diameter of 2.3M is located here.
* Yelagiri: Yelagiri hills, is an idyllic place for a short holiday. Green hills and picture post-card scenery greets you here. It is called the princess of hill stations and is the most pristine and unpolluted among the hill stations in Tamil Nadu.
* Amirthi Forest: Amirthi zoological park is situated under the Javvadu/Javadi Hills of Tellai across Amirthi river which is 25 km away from Vellore. This zoological park was started in October 1967.
Major Temples & Churches in Trichy:
* Jalakandeswarar Temple- Situated inside the Vellore Fort, Lord Shiva is worshipped in the form of "Jalakandeswarar".
* Ratnagiri Temple- a temple devoted to Lord Balamurugan located at Rathnagiri, Walaja Taluk about 10km from Vellore.
* Sri Lakshmi Temple in Sripuram- popularly known as Golden Temple, is a newly built Spiritual Park / Temple in Thirumalaikodi, Vellore. The whole exterior of the temple is laid with gold sheets and plates. The construction of this temple is reported to have cost Rs.300 crores (Rs.3 billion). The temple is surrounded by a vast lush green landscaped area and can only be accessed by going through a star shaped walkway.
* Vallimalai temple- Its a temple dedicated to Lord Murugan, which is located on top of the hill which is a part of the Eastern Ghats, about 30km from Vellore. The temple is known for its majestic views.
* Balamurugan Temple, Balamathi- it is a serene and small beautiful village located on top of the hills of Eastern Ghats is a 30 minute drive from Vellore. It is famous for its Balamurugan Temple which is connected to the city by a well laid road with many hair pin bends. Balamathi enjoys pleasant breeze and a substantially low temperature which makes a ideal break away from city's naturally hot weather.
* Cathedral- This is the main Cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Vellore. The bell tower of the church, said to be the Highest Bell Tower in India, is a major attraction.
Transport Options:
Vellore is served by city bus service, which provide connectivity within the City, suburbs and places 30km in the radius of Vellore. The city does not have a functioning airport of its own, the nearest international airports are Chennai International Airport(130km), Bengaluru International Airport (200km) and the nearest domestic airport is Tirupati Airport (100km). Vellore city has a total of three railway stations.

Code of the Net
With the addition of email to the business communication arsenal some significantly new communication issues have emerged, in particular, the blurring of the line between the spoken and the written word. Consequently, a Code of the Net has begun to emerge.
Email has reduced the time lag between the sending of a conventional written message and its response, so much so, that the actual written communication it contains often takes on traits similar to that of a spoken conversation. There is a problem, however, in that participants in a spoken conversation have speech devices available to them that are unavailable in an online written exchange.
Voice inflections, tone, verbal pauses, and facial expressions, for instance, contribute to a more accurate contextual reading of a spoken conversation, helping participants rapidly perceive each other's meanings and implications. The inability to use or rely on these tools when writing or reading an email message, being problematic, has given rise to a set of techniques intended to sidestep this deficiency. However, these shortcuts often fail, or fall far short of the mark, in business email. Consequently, their use is generally considered rude, or poor business netiquette.
All business forms of communication then, including email, should be handled in a professional manner. Here is a short list of essential rules by which many Internet users abide. The beginnings of a Code of the Net, if you will.

This episode introduces the notion of a "field of force" and how we can diagrammatically represent such a field using field lines. The actual strength of the field at a point in space is defined by the field strength.
When you pick up an object such as a pen, there is direct contact between you and the pen. This direct contact exerts a force on the pen, causing it to move in the way that it does. However, the pen also has a weight due to its presence in the Earth's gravitational field. How is this force exerted, even when there is no direct contact between the Earth and the pen? A force is exerted on the pen from the Earth because the pen is in the Earth's gravitational field. We can define the field due to a body as the region of space surrounding it where other bodies will feel a force due to it.
What extent do gravitational fields have? (The gravitational force is infinite in range, although it becomes very weak at large distances as it is an inverse square law. The gravitational field due to a body is thus also infinite.)
We cannot see or touch this field, but we can try to model it using field lines or lines of force. In a field line diagram, the direction of the field line at a point gives the direction of the force of attraction that would be felt by a small mass placed there. The relative density of field lines on the diagram is an indication of the strength of the field. (Compare this with the more familiar magnetic field patterns.)
Thus for a spherical mass, like the Earth, we would have the following diagram:
Close to the surface of the Earth, the field lines look like:
A couple of important points to note:
1) Field lines do not start or stop in empty space (even though on diagrams they have to stop somewhere!). They end on a mass and extend back all the way to infinity.
2) Field lines never cross. (If they did, then an object placed at the point where they crossed would feel forces in more than one direction. These forces could be resolved into one direction – the true direction of the field line there.)
(The concepts of field and field lines will be used again when we look at electric fields and magnetic fields).
Gravitational field strength, g.
As you've already seen, you pull on the Earth with exactly the same force as it pulls on you. However, your gravitational field is intrinsically much, much weaker than that of the Earth. To try to get a handle on the intrinsic strength of the gravitational field of a body, we need to define field strength at a point in the field.
We define field strength at a point in a body's field as the gravitational force exerted on an object placed at that point, per kg of the object's mass. In other words, it is just the number on newtons of attractive force acting per kg of the object's mass. Since the attractive force is simply what we call weight, we can write this as:
g = W/m
where W = weight in newtons. Thus g has units N/kg.
We can use this definition to get an equation for g using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation. The attractive force of a mass M (causing the field) on a mass m a distance r away is simply GMm/r2. Thus the attractive force per kg of mass of the object (mass m) is (GMm/r2)/m.
Thus, g = GM/r2
This gives an expression for the field strength at a point distance r from a (point or spherical) mass M.
A couple of points to note:
1) The gravitational field strength at a point in a field is independent of the mass placed there – it is a property of the field. Thus, two objects of different mass placed at the same point in the field will experience the same field strength, but will feel different gravitational forces.
2) In some texts a minus sign is present in this equation, so it reads g = -GM/r2; this is from the more correct, but off syllabus, vector equation for g. It is better to calculate the magnitude of the field strength using g = GM/r2 and then the direction is given by the fact that gravity is always attractive (i.e. the field always acts towards the gravitating body).
Worked examples:
Field strength
Calculations involving field strength.
Here, students can try analysing data from the Apollo 11 mission.
radius of the Earth = 6.4 106 m.
2) What is the strength of the gravitational field due to you at a distance equal to the radius of the Earth?
3) In view of your answers to the two questions above, your field strength at a distance of 6400 km from you (where the Earth's centre is) is MUCH weaker than the Earth's field strength at a distance of 6400 km from its centre (where you are right now). Can you explain why is then that you and the Earth exert the same size of force on each other?
4) Assume the Earth has an average density . Rewrite the expression g = GM/r2 to include [The volume of a sphere is given by V = (4/3) r3.] Now, assume that the Moon has the same average density as the Earth. On the surface of the Moon, the gravitational field strength is about 1.6 N kg-1. Use this to estimate the radius of the Moon.
5) In fact the radius of the Moon is 1.7 106 m. In view of your answer to question 4, what does this suggest about the average density of the Moon compared with that of the Earth?
Practical advice
Remember that a lot of students have difficulties in using standard form correctly on a scientific calculator. You may need to help them in the use of the EXP button
Each student will have to know/estimate their own mass in kg. The calculation below is based on a student mass of 70 kg.
g = GM/r2 = (6.67 x 10-11 x 70)/ (6.4 x 106)2 = 1.1 x 10-22 N kg-1
Note, that while this is very very small, it is not zero, again showing that the gravitational force falls off quickly with distance, but is always there (infinite in range).
3 Because the actual force acting on an object at a point in a field is the product of the field strength and the mass of the object placed there. This product is the same in both situations mentioned in the question – the product of the Earth's field (9.8 N kg-1) and the student's mass (70 kg) is the same as the product of the student's field (1.1 x 10-22 N/kg) and the Earth's mass (6.0 x 1024 kg). In both cases this product is 686 N, and this can equally be viewed as the student's weight in the Earth's gravitational field, or the Earth's weight in the student's gravitational field
4 g = GM/r2, but M = x V = (4/3) r3.
Therefore g = [G x (4/3) r3/ r2 = (4/3) Gr.
(Thus, for bodies of the same density, the field strength at their surface is proportional to their radius).
The surface field strength of the Moon is (1.6 / 9.8) times smaller than that of the Earth. Therefore its radius must be smaller by the same factor.
Therefore, radius of the Moon is (1.6 / 9.8) x 6.4 x 106 = 1.0 x 106 m
This could also have been calculated by finding the average density of the Earth numerically from g = (4/3) Gr (using g = 9.8 N kg-1), and proceeding from there)
If you have students of high enough ability (and you have enough time!) you might like to ask if
g = (4/3) Gr violates the inverse square law. It now looks distinctly like a direct proportion between g and r. Why is this? It's because we are dealing with the field strength on the surface of a planet. As the radius of a planet increases, its mass increases with the radius3 (for constant density). Looking at g = GM/r2 this r3 dependence of the mass in the numerator will dominate the r2 in the denominator, giving overall a direct proportion between g and r
The spreadsheet just provides raw data. To get information from it you will have to select and process data from it.
The flight data have a number of values of velocity and distance, arranged in pairs measured 10 minutes (600 seconds) apart. You can see how far Apollo 11 travelled in 10 minutes. You can see that Apollo 11 is decelerating on the way out and accelerating on the way home. You can find the acceleration and so the gravitational field at different distances:
1. Calculate the changes in velocity between each pair of distances.
2. Calculate the average distance for each pair.
3. Calculate the average acceleration at each distance, from the change in velocity and the time interval (600 s).
4. Plot one or more graphs to test whether the acceleration varies as the inverse square of the distance. Take trouble to find the graphs which best tell the message in these data. Give the graphs a caption saying what they have to tell.
These data are selected from a huge printout supplied by NASA. More data is provided here so that it can be looked at and discussed, and so that further analyses can be done. We think that there is also some interest in imagining the whole mission, which is why times from throughout the 200-hour mission are included.
The exercise also provides students with further opportunities to think about the most effective graph to plot. It is worth insisting that graphs have captions that convey their intended message.
Alternative approaches
You may, especially with a class lacking in confidence, find it useful to print out the data for everyone, and look through them together, talking about what is happening at each stage.
The exercise can be done without a spreadsheet but can be very tedious. If a computer is not available try thinking along these lines:
1 Calculate the average acceleration between each pair of points with no rocket burn on the outward journey.
2 Without further calculations deduce an estimate for the gravitational field strength at the mid point of each interval
3 Plot a graph that enables you to check whether g does vary as.
Mean distance = (29.0 + 26.3) x 106 / 2 = 27.7 x 106 m
Acceleration = (v-u)/t = (5374 - 5102) / 600 = 0.4553 m s-2 = g
r / 106 m
Acceleration / m s-2
NASA's raw data were actually provided with distances in nautical miles above the surface of the Earth, and with velocities in knots.

Based on Final Fantasy Type-0 (on PSP) and developed in place of the discontinued Final Fantasy Agito, Final Fantasy Awakening is the first official MMOARPG of Final Fantasy. The game has launched its SEA server recently in several countries – Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam. We had some fun playing the game, so here is our Final Fantasy Awakening review!
Taking place in Orien, Final Fantasy Awakening is almost a typical MMOARPG where you can create your own character, form a team, building them up and battles your way through the stages. You will be able to choose between 3 classes available at the beginning of the game – Windblade Warrior (Melee), Fire Gunner (Ranged) or Ice Magitek Knight (Mage), then customize your character in a few aspects such as hairstyle and personality.
Your character can form a party with not more than 4 support heroes. Every hero will have their own skills and ability, with some combination of the heroes give you Hero Destiny effect. All of them can be equipped with gears too, you can further upgrade your heroes stats by refining and enhancing the gears. Heroes and gears are obtainable from completing stages and summoning.
Other than the must-have feature – campaign mode that comes with an exciting storyline, the game also features a huge variety of single-player or multiplayer game modes. Putting the typical ones such as Arena and Team Dungeon aside, there is a World Adventure mode where you can dispatch a hero to guard an area for rewards. There is also an Infinite Trials mode that enables you to challenge floor by floor with different winning conditions. Besides, the Throne of Paragons mode offers cross-server 9v9 battles (which sound really interesting to me).
The graphics are truly outstanding as it features a full 3D Cinematic Graphics that is comparable with console graphics. The game environment looks detailed, while the character movement is smooth (especially during battles). I personally enjoyed watching the skill animations. Final Fantasy Awakening also features Japanese voice-overs for each of its characters, which many Final Fantasy fans would probably like it more compared to localized voice-overs.
We all know most of the RPG relies on turn-based system, but Final Fantasy Awakening is different as it offers real-time hack-and-slash combat. It has highly restored the original storyline of Final Fantasy Type-0 too, along with the Japanese voice-overs, doesn't it brings back the old memories of PSP era? Other than that, the game features a lot of modes that will keep you busy. You can also use auto-path so you don't need waste time running around to find your next destination.
The user interface is a bit packed for a new player. Also, the Arena mode forces you to auto-battle using AI, it would be better if it allows real-time arena battle that you could have full control of your characters.
In conclusion, Final Fantasy Awakening is a must try for Final Fantasy Type-0 fans as it gives you the nostalgia feels along with a brand new experience under the worldview of Final Fantasy Type-0. Final Fantasy Awakening is currently free-to-play for Android and iOS, begins your epic journey now if this interests you! You can also redeem your gift code from their official website or visit the official Facebook page for latest updates.

Lelling: Trump's point man in Massachusetts
Andrew Lelling, the US Attorney for Massachusetts, is emerging as a loyal Donald Trump lieutenant in one of the bluest states in the country.
Little was known about Lelling when Trump nominated him for the post last September. He had worked the previous 12 years in the office, first under Michael Sullivan and then Carmen Ortiz, an appointee of Barack Obama. He focused on international drug trafficking and white collar crime, including the prosecution of executives associated with a billion-dollar pyramid scheme and Carlos Rafael, the infamous Codfather of New Bedford. Prior to coming to Massachusetts, he worked as an assistant US attorney in Virginia and at the Department of Justice's civil rights division.
Under Lelling, the US Attorney's office appears to be functioning much as it always has, except the office seems preoccupied with immigration issues. There's been a sharp uptick in press releases about prosecutions, and what's distinctive about the press releases is how they highlight the nationality and immigration status of the defendants.
"One of the things we wanted to highlight, in keeping with the president's priorities, was to at least bring into the public conversation that there is some fraction of the illegal immigrant population in this country that is committing a number of other offenses," Lelling told CommonWealth's Jack Sullivan. "My position on this is if you have someone who is in the United States illegally and commits an offense, we should be bringing to the public's attention that correlation."
The defendants allegedly stole the identities of US citizens and used those identities to obtain state identification cards, federal benefits, and public housing subsidies. "These government programs are intended to help the poor, the elderly, American citizens, not those who are trespassing in the country," Sessions said at a news conference at the federal courthouse in Boston, standing next to Lelling. "This kind of fraud is a theft from our seniors, a theft from our taxpayers, and a theft from the needy. A theft from America."
Lelling praised Sessions as a leader who has "rededicated the Department of Justice to the rule of law," while Sessions said he had given the go-ahead for Lelling to hire five more prosecutors.
"I'm excited to see this office thrive," Sessions said. "The public servants in this office are doing great work."
Boston Herald columnist Joe Battenfeld said the anti-immigration focus of Sessions and Lelling is no accident. He said Sessions keeps coming back to Boston and New England to talk about illegal immigration and sanctuary cities to put would-be presidential contenders such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Deval Patrick on the defensive.
At Thursday's press conference, Sessions said Boston is one of the top areas in the country for illegal immigration, with an estimated 180,000 people living here without documentation.
"I can't imagine why a city or a county or a state would think that someone who enters the country illegally who is subject to being deported for that alone is somehow to be protected even when they commit serious offenses," he said.

PEST – Post Election Stress Thoughts
Waking up this morning to yesterday's election results shows what we all know, that this is a country that is polarized, divided and fractured. The political divisions are significant because they are along race, class and ethnic lines, they are clearly socio-economic, and these differences must be bridged somehow if we are to become what we call euphemistically these United States. Red and blue should perhaps be changed to green and yellow, since white isn't a color but the lack of same. Otherwise from some perspectives, the colors might be black and white. Let's forget colors and find a way to put the divisions that separate us behind us so that we can find the common ground to move forward.
We endured an obscenely expensive campaign, some estimates just over 2 billion dollars spent, hundreds of thousands of ads that were negative, discouraging, and far more against rather than for anything. And the cost was not merely in dollars. There was also a price paid for human dignity. Now is the time to restore our faith in the principles on which this country was built and on which it can stand in the future – these self-evident truths, "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
We need a shift in attitudes and behaviors from negative to positive, from intentions to destroy to designs to create, from verbiage to constructive action. Too much rhetoric, too little reality, too much theater of the absurd, too little rational and logical action. It is time for a paradigm shift in many areas instead of continuing the same behaviors and expecting different results, the definition of insanity.
Etched in stone on the F.D.R. Memorial in Washington, D.C. are these words: "The test of our progress is not whether we add more to those who have much; it is whether we provide for those who have too little." That is true globally as well as nationally and locally. Perhaps we could come together around the most pressing priorities facing all of us and take constructive, creative and responsible actions to solve those most troublesome issues. Then we would be much more united and stand together, with bonds that strengthen rather than divisions that separate. Maybe and hopefully, the next four years will see a positive change in the will and ability to work together for the common good, not merely partisan interests. This is the message that each of us needs to send to those who represent us at every level.
In the meantime, we must take every opportunity we have to help heal the divisions that separate us, to share the visions that can unite us and to exert whatever influence we have to demonstrate that we can and will work toward a common purpose with common goals. All of this is for the commonwealth of our future that can be so much better than it is. If you believe that, today marks a new beginning for what lies ahead.

Airene Mabborang – Social Media and SEO Specialist
Hello – I am Airene Mabborang and here's some things about me.
I live with my parents and I have the responsibility of being the main bread winner of the family. My father is a farmer and my mother is a housewife.
Growing up, my family didn't have much money, so I became a working student when I reached high school. I performed cleaning jobs – including doing laundry for my aunts… I even tried working as a waitress in Jollibee when I was in college just to earn enough money to buy food during break time at school, pay school contributions, projects, and my tuition fees.
I developed a yearning for financial freedom for myself and a strong desire to help my family. This is why, straight after graduation, I made the decision to travel far from home to secure well-paid work. It was a huge sacrifice being far from the ones I love, so I worked hard to achieve my goal of being financially stable.
While I strongly believe that I am a dreamer, experience taught me to become a realist and to become an achiever. So I motivated myself to keep striving. My work experiences and learnings from my past employments have molded me into who I am today…
And today, I am an SEO Specialist. I love doing SEO and engaging on social media. I also have good experience with WordPress, as well as ecommerce platforms like Shopify, Amazon and Etsy.
I'd love to bring my diverse skill set to your company. I am a hardworking person and I work smart. I'm certain you'll benefit greatly by making me a part of your team.

James Howell: "We don't know what to do . . . "
. . . but our eyes are upon You." Leadership literature can deflate. 2 Chronicles' prayer turns this uncertainty toward God.
Lately my exposure to fantastic leadership has reached some saturation point, and I find myself either bored, or demoralized. In a weak moment I agreed to teach a seminary course on leadership, so I'm trying to wade through the literature (actually, the word "literature" is a bit of an overstatement), and it all looks so magical, so do-able, so rippling with potential. Just apply the hedgehog concept, Drucker's principles, Heifetz's questions to the life of the church and everything will sizzle!
Then I was at a conference in Utah with the pastors of the 100 largest Methodist churches, and I was awestruck by the talent, the achievements of these Wunderkind who lead so boldly, and successfully. Four members in a storefront become 15,000 a few years later, hospitals are built in the Sudan, multiple campuses are springing up: with a sigh, and a hint of envy, I can only say Wow!
And yet, when I read, and listen, my mind wanders, and I'm even tempted to unpack a scathing theological critique. But mostly I feel small, hesitant, not as competent as these wizards of leadership, who seem always to know precisely what to do, and how to get it done, and well. They understand the subtle political complexities, the dramatic unfolding of gargantuan strategic plans, and I mutter a little prayer, like "Thank God somebody knows how to do all this kind of aggressive, kingdom-building leading" – because I sure don't.
I mean, I lead, I do all right. But I never, ever feel cocksure, and I make a lot of mistakes. I do not have all (or very many of) the answers.
Recently, I stumbled across an obscure Bible passage that brought me some comfort. Jehoshaphat is about to lead Israel into some battle; and in the most unleaderlike way conceivable, he declares in prayer, "We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon You" (2 Chronicles 20:12).
Without suggesting that the denizens of leadership are anything but God's coolest gift to Christendom, I do wonder if, for the rest of us, we needn't feel so small or ineffective, but can simply say this utterly biblical thing: "We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon You."
I wonder if there is such a thing as "postmodern leadership," although I have a hunch Christian leadership has quite often been wobbly and uncertain, tentative and mistake-prone. Karl Barth was thinking of theological talk when he said, "We ought to speak of God. We are human, however, and so cannot speak of God. We ought therefore to recognize both our obligation and our inability and by that very recognition give God the glory" -- but can't it also be the case that we ought to lead the Body; we are human, however, so we cannot, and in our obligation to lead, and our inability to lead, we give God the glory?
After all, it is the messy horde that is the Church we are trying to lead, not a regiment of holy, obedient, doggedly faithful saints. And it is the well-nigh impossible realization of the kingdom of God that is our objective -- and it is God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, who leads and is our objective. Anybody who has all the answers and can speak with crystalline clarity about such mysteries is clueless -- so if we close our eyes, grimace, try to find the words but wind up stammering, might we be speaking of the true, living God? And if we thus lead with the chagrin of somebody who frankly can't figure out what to do next with the hopelessly confused rabble before us, might we perhaps actually be leading the Body as faithfully as possible?
I'm going to keep studying, and I will try to mimic the super-pastors I truly admire. But for now, I'm going to get over my sense of inadequacy, and simply own it; and when I'm trying to lead people who want me to have all the answers and lay out a grand plan that is guaranteed to work, I will try to count on the curious hopefulness of Jehoshaphat's prayer: "We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon You."
James Howell is senior pastor of Myers Park United Methodist Church in Charlotte, NC.

APA to tackle zip line, travel corridor amendment
RAY BROOK — After taking the month of April off, the state Adirondack Park Agency board will convene next week and take on a couple of high-profile agenda items.
Starting at 9 a.m. Thursday, May 16, the Regulatory Programs Committee will convene and vote on approval of a permit for zip lines to be installed at the Olympic Regional Development Authority's ski jumping complex in Lake Placid. The permit under consideration next week is in addition to a previously-issued permit for the project, which is part of a roughly $70 million package of upgrades at ORDA facilities.
The board will then get a presentation on the agency's review and permitting of telecommunication projects from APA staff.
At 11:15 a.m., the State Land Committee will convene to vote on Adirondack Park State Land Master Plan conformance for two unit management plans.
The first is the Travel Corridor UMP, which was put together by the state departments of Transportation and Environmental Conservation. Made up of two parts, the first part is a generic UMP that details concepts, guidelines and directives for roads within the Adirondack Park. Part II of the UMP will include detailed plans on how certain travel corridors are managed, including the hot-bed issue of the Remsen-Lake Placid Travel Corridor.
In 2016, DOT and DEC proposed a UMP that would remove railroad tracks from the Remsen-Lake Placid Travel Corridor between Lake Placid and Tupper Lake, to be replaced by a multi-use trail. That plan was shot down in court after the Adirondack Rail Preservation Society — which operates seasonal tourist trains under the Adirondack Scenic Railroad name — sued. Since then, the APA has approved a change in definition that could allow the rail trail plan to move forward. DEC officials have told the Enterprise that the UMP for the rail trail should be released this summer.
After the travel corridor vote, the APA will vote on APSLMP conformance for a DEC UMP on the Hammond Pond Wild Forest in the east-central Adirondacks. The UMP includes new trails, parking areas and accessible campsites. Some of the trails are part of the Frontier Town campground and will be on state, county and town lands. Multiple access points and trails to the Schroon River will also be built or improved under the plan.
After lunch on Thursday, the APA's Park Ecology Committee will get a presentation on the 20th anniversary of the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program, citizen science programs for invasive species and an update on the Paul Smith's College Adirondack Watershed Institute.
On Friday, the APA meeting begins at 10 a.m. with a presentation on the 30th anniversary of the Summit Steward Program for the APA's Public Awareness and Communication Committee. The full board will then convene at 11 a.m. for final votes.

Oh, how much better it would be if our homes were bought on an "all-inclusive" basis. Alas, they're not. They usually come with a pretty big price tag attached, but that's just the beginning of the financial commitment. The costs of running and maintaining a property can be extensive, to the point where it can forever feel like our home is something of a money pit. The good news is that you're not locked into simply spending all of your cash on your property. You have a say in the matter, perhaps more of a say than you previously thought, because there are so many ways to save money on the necessary expenses. Below, we take a look at a few ways you can stop the outflow of cash.
Review Your Expenses
First thing's first: you need to understand where your money is going. Until you do that, you can't know where you need to cut corners. So take a look at your bills and expenses from the previous few months. You might just find that some of the bills are a lot higher than you realised. There may even be some costs that just aren't justified, since you're not getting your money's worth, or they're higher than what other people pay for the same thing.
Entertainment Costs
We live in an age where it's possible to essentially be entertained non-stop in the home. If you're bored, you can just switch on one of your many magic boxes, and let someone's creation — be it a video game, television show, or movie — entertain you. While you'll undoubtedly enjoy these entertainment options, is it possible that you're spending too much money on them? If you've got fast internet, a comprehensive cable package, and a few video games consoles, then your entertainment bill could be huge. You can cut it down by seeing where things can overlap. You won't need an expensive cable package if you have the internet and Netflix, for example.
In the Kitchen
Your entertainment options are optional, but your food? That's a requirement. However, while you have no say in whether you eat well or not, you do have a say in how much you spend on your sustenance. If your shopping bill is too high, then look at making a few changes. There are a few delicious, easy-to-make recipes that cost next to nothing. It's not only possible to eat cheaply: you can eat delicious meals using fresh, quality ingredients that are good for you. Taking the time to get used to being in the kitchen will have another advantage, too: you'll discover the joy of cooking, which will prevent you from eating out and spending even more money.
Smart Heating
We've come a long way when it comes to our properties. They used to be for shelter, and now they're for comfort. One of the key aspects of a comfortable home is heating, but this can be expensive. To get all the benefits of living in a comfortable home without the high cost, look at adapting your approach to heating. Wall insulation will be a good, efficient start, since it'll keep the heat inside your home. You may also want to invest in a wall heater, since this will allow you to heat one specific room/area of the home, rather than the whole property. You can also look at smart ways to heat your way with minimal effort, such as leaving the oven door open after you've finished baking: that heat is already there, so you may as well put it to good use rather than just letting it sit in the oven.
Efficient Appliances
You'll have a lot of appliances that are used to keep your home running smoothly. The question is: are they as worthwhile an addition to your property as they could and should be? If they're outdated, then the answer is probably no. Modern appliances work much more efficiently than older ones, consuming less energy to work and ultimately saving you money. If it has been some time since you last upgraded your appliances, look at investing in new ones. You will have to spend money, of course, but it'll come back to you in bill savings — and you'll be doing your bit for the environment by using energy efficient options, too.
Find Your DIY Skills
It doesn't matter whether your home is old or new: eventually, you'll run into problems. Every house on the planet runs into issues that need to be fixed. While your initial reaction will be to call a professional to fix things for you, this will add up to a pretty penny over time. Instead, why not look at learning a few DIY skills? There are many home tasks that aren't all that complicated if you know how. Next time one of those issues occurs, you'll be able to get out your toolbox and resolve the issue, rather than calling someone else to do the job for you.
Refinancing Options
Your mortgage will be a big weight on your shoulders, but there are ways that you can lighten the load somewhat. After a while of homeownership, you may be able to refinance your mortgage to get a more favourable rate. You'll be much happier with your property when you've reduced how much you're spending on it each month!
Turn it Off
Finally, keep in mind that the most obvious tips are often the best. And when it comes to saving money on your home bills, that advice is: turn it off! You can reduce all your bills just by being mindful of how you're using it. Easy!
There's no getting around the fact that homes can be expensive. Still, it's always worth remembering that we have more of an influence on the costs that is generally presumed. If you approach your property's expenses with a little bit of care and thought, you'll find that you can significantly reduce the amount of money that you spend. Make the changes today, and keep more money in your bank account.
This is a collaborative post.

Case Western Reserve University's policies and requirements for study abroad course transfer are outlined below and in a signature document which students receive and sign once they are accepted into a study abroad program.
For Students Participating in Semester/Academic Year Programs:
- I understand that the only way to guarantee a course from an overseas institution will transfer back to CWRU is to complete and turn in the Course Approval Form to the Office of Education Abroad before I leave for my study abroad program.
- I understand that credits from abroad undergo a conversion before they are transferred to CWRU and that the overseas course may transfer back as more or less credits than its CWRU equivalent. It is my responsibility to refer to my program's application page for this information and to make sure I understand it.
- I understand that if I take course(s) that are not on the Course Approval Form, they are subject to review by the corresponding department's academic representative(s), which may result in courses not being transferred.

(Note: This requirement does not apply to summer study abroad programs.)
- I understand that I need to stay in good academic standing and full time student status while studying abroad. I affirm that I am currently in good academic standing. I understand that if I fall out of good academic standing between my acceptance and the beginning of my study abroad program, I will be ineligible for study abroad.
- If I study abroad during my senior year, I understand that I must meet the senior residency requirement in order for my courses to transfer back to CWRU. I must check this requirement with Undergraduate Studies before studying abroad.
- I will request that my transcript(s) be sent to the Office of Education Abroad after my study abroad program.
- I understand that credits earned abroad will not be processed by the Office of Education Abroad until the office has received my transcript(s) from abroad and that this process may take a few months.

AfricaCom, one of Africa's largest telecoms and technology event, today, 12 March 2019, announces the launch of AfricaTech – a new event brand dedicated to propelling Africa towards the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Recent years have seen a surge in interest in enterprise digital transformation. Disruptive new technologies such as Internet of Things, Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence, quite recently considered to be on the horizon, are now being implemented.
Just like the industries we champion, AfricaCom is evolving. Our enterprise audience is growing fast as more CIOs, CDOs, CTOs and IT leaders seek expert insights on emerging technologies.
AfricaTech, which will be co-located with AfricaCom, has been designed to help our enterprise audience successfully navigate their digital transformation journeys. It will bring together enterprise CIO, CTO, CDO and digital leads from all major industry sectors.
"We're excited to host all of Africa's enterprise and technology leaders in the same place, at the same time, at a scale never seen before on the continent. IT is already having a hugely positive impact on lives and business across Africa and we hope AfricaTech will help to stimulate technology adoption and accelerate digital transformation, paving the way to Africa 4.0," says Tom Cuthell, Event Director at Informa, organisers of AfricaCom.
AfricaTech is co-located with AfricaCom and will take over the whole of Cape Town's CTICC.
A zoned exhibition is split into dedicated technology zones dedicated to Internet of Things, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Fintech, Cloud Computing and Data Centres with premium conferences on the show floor, meet-the-buyer features, technology and industry-specific deep dive sessions and brand-new social features and spaces.

Paper Quality Real Time Optimizer
The Paper Quality RTO manipulates the pulp quality setpoints in the TMP Predictive Quality Controller to maintain pulp quality.
The RTO uses the Paper Quality Software Sensors to make its decisions on how and when to move quality targets. FactNet™ is used to analyze how moving the pulp quality influences the paper quality signals. It accounts for the process interactions between the TMP unit operations and as a result the RTO is designed based on the true degrees of freedom of the TMP mill. For example, it is not always possible to move main line and rejects freeness and fiber length independently. The RTO recognizes this and makes its decisions based on targets the TMP mill can actually achieve.
- Implementation of the Paper Quality Real Time Optimizer (RTO) has achieved a 20% reduction in paper quality variability.

Sennacherib Jerusalem
2 Kings 18:17-37
The Sennacherib Jerusalem Bible scriptures located in 2 Kings 18:17-37 explains directly from God's Word the Sennacherib Jerusalem topic.
2 Kings 18:17
And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great host against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller's field.
2 Kings 18:18
And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.
2 Kings 18:19
And Rabshakeh said unto them, Speak ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
2 Kings 18:20
Thou sayest, (but they are but vain words,) I have counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
2 Kings 18:21
Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him.
2 Kings 18:22
But if ye say unto me, We trust in the LORD our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?
2 Kings 18:23
Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my lord the king of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
2 Kings 18:24
How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
2 Kings 18:25
Am I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
2 Kings 18:26
Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews' language in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
2 Kings 18:27
But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?
2 Kings 18:28
Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spake, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria:
2 Kings 18:29
Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand:
2 Kings 18:30
Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
2 Kings 18:31
Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his cistern:
2 Kings 18:32
Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive and of honey, that ye may live, and not die: and hearken not unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, The LORD will deliver us.
2 Kings 18:33
Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
2 Kings 18:34
Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? have they delivered Samaria out of mine hand?
2 Kings 18:35
Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of mine hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of mine hand?
2 Kings 18:36
But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
2 Kings 18:37
Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.

Although it had a perfect north-east aspect, the overgrown side courtyard of this property on Sydney's North Shore was in dire need of attention. The owners knew they had a special space, especially as it was conveniently located off the kitchen, but it was completely unusable and lacking in structure. And so it became Anthea Dunlop Landscape Design's task to transform the courtyard into a semi-formal space that would be perfect for entertaining.
Once the plants that were taking over the courtyard were removed, the existing boundary wall presented itself as having great potential as a structural feature within the new garden design. It just needed to be squared off and then bagged and painted to blend with the exterior colour of the house.
Space was at a premium, so Anthea Dunlop kept the design tight and semi-formal while making sure it felt soft, green and inviting. She divided the ground plan into two zones: twothirds were designated an entertaining area with the capacity to seat eight; the remaining third was to be a contemplation garden.
For the entertaining area, the existing terracotta pavers, which were in stark contrast to the house, were replaced with Himalayan sandstone in a natural finish, which complemented the house perfectly. At the far end of the space, a water feature was placed, providing a wonderful focal point
To keep the courtyard uncluttered, the plant palette is quite limited. To green up the vertical elements, Chinese star jasmine was trained onto stainless-steel wires attached to the boundary wall and a passion fruit vine was planted at the far end, adding softness to the water feature. Japanese box hedging was used to maintain structure within the tight space, with liriope included for movement.
The courtyard's position by the kitchen and the owners' passion for cooking inspired the use of edible accent plants. Standard bay trees sit at each end of the raised garden bed and standard cumquats frame the pathway separating the two areas of the courtyard. Of course, any garden owned by avid cooks wouldn't be complete without a herb patch. This was placed in the sunniest corner and planted with tarragon, parsley, chives and basil.

Zack's grandfather came to watch and cheer him on. Zack really appreciated his grandfather coming to support his efforts. (His grandmother spent the day with the girls, as Ellie had her own field trip that day.)
One of Zack's classmate's parents who work for Campus Crusade were pleased to meet Zack's grandfather, Rev. Tsuneyoshi Takeda. They have heard his name many times throughout the years and were honored to finally meet this well-known pastor.
The Christian community is fairly small in Japan, and everyone seems to know of everyone else. Nozomi's father is pretty well-known in Japan because of the Japanese church he founded in Atlanta 31 years ago. Over those three decades, the church has ministered to over 500 Japanese who have returned to places all over Japan. On this current trip, he will visit churches and former church members from Hokkaido to Kyushu and he will be speaking 11 times!
After the busy Field Day, there was a carnival at CAJ, sponsored by the Junior class to raise money to combat human trafficking in Asia. It's nice to have our son attend a school so concerned about addressing injustice in the world.
And finally, here's a photo of Zack along with his grandmother, mom and sister in front of his school, CAJ (Christian Academy in Japan).
Jeff's column offers a mix of reflections on leadership and fatherhood, as well as news from Asian Access.
Nozomi's column contains reflections on motherhood, Japanese culture, and ministry.

As I placed my baby in the swing for the third time that day, I wondered if it would cause him any harm. However, seeing as it was the only way to get him to fall asleep, I figured the need for rest outweighed any negatives.
No need to feel guilty anymore. It turns out the baby swing may actually help your baby's motor development.
How does a baby swing promote a healthy brain?
It's no secret babies love rocking, swaying, jiggling, and other repetitive movements. But studies have even shown that these movements can bring positive impacts to the part of the brain that controls a baby's development of reflexes and motor skills.
Along with touch, the sense of movement and balance, the vestibular system, is one of the earliest senses to mature in a baby. It's responsible for the development of the reflexes the doctor checks your baby for when assessing her neurological health, and it contributes to a person's balance and sense of spatial orientation.
The swing offers vestibular benefits that you might also give your baby through carrying her in a sling, rocking your baby, letting him play in a bouncy seat or even pushing her around in a stroller.Even letting your baby sit up (a change in position) brings benefits to the development of the sense of motion and balance your baby is developing.
Since a baby's mental development is cumulative, the vestibular function can impact other sensory and motor abilities, which then also impact the development of higher emotional and cognitive abilities down the road.
When a baby is being carried, rocked, swung, etc., he or she usually becomes quietly alert. It helps calm a baby into the mental state where they do some of their best learning. If the stimulation goes on for some time, they naturally drift off into sleep (which is just as blissful for us as it is for them sometimes).
I certainly don't advise using your swing as a surrogate parent. But isn't it great to know that the swing not only calms your baby but also helps her mind grow when she's in it?

Kingdom vs Kingdom event.
Hello, I would like to submit some problems related to the Kingdom vs Kingdom event.
1. first, I find it that this event has a lack of information regarding Seats of Powers. It is absurd that nobody knows what happens to the Seats of power lost during this event. For this reason there are alliances that defend the Seats and some that have decided not to defend them. There should be more clarity as to what happens.
2. I also find it absurd that Warner Bros after years of this game does not consider during the matchmaking that alliances exist within the different servers. Consequently, the event between kingdom 374 and 375 is not a kingdom versus kingdom but has turned into "Torre Versus Legends" and "Mayhm versus Wolfs". Your intent to make the game a "royal rumble" hasn't worked and will never work.
You should consider giving the chance to attack anyone (not just the players of the invading kingdom) and stop giving ridiculous rewards..Because after 2 years of gameplay it is absurd to reward with 2k or 3k of gold for an event that involves a purchase of packs of hundreds of euros.
Rewards must compensate those who receive them considerably considering the investment.
3. on top of that, during the event the game is unstable. Sudden app crashes, rallies that don't exist, very slow gameplay and graphic display problems. This is an insult to all players who continue to play and invest their money and keep the game alive.

Santa Monica city leaders, Macerich officials and hundreds of other visitors came out to witness the demolition of the Santa Monica Place sign Thursday, April 17th, marking the end of an era for the indoor mall and the beginning of its redevelopment.
An estimated 500 people attended a ceremony near the mall's entrance at Third Street and Broadway to see the 1980s-era sign crash down, officially ending the shopping center's life as an indoor mall.
A life-size building wrap displaying the design of the new open-air Santa Monica Place was unveiled at the ceremony, which included a marching band and confetti.
The demolition launched the expected 18-month process of developing the new open-air mall, which will connect to the Third Street Promenade and downtown Santa Monica when it opens — scheduled for fall 2009.
Macy's department store will remain open during the construction.
The Frank Gehry-designed Santa Monica Place, which opened in 1980, closed in January for the redevelopment project. Santa Monica-based Macerich, owner of the mall, plans to convert the shopping center into a modern three-level retail and dining destination.
Under the plan, the mall's food court will be moved from the first floor to a rooftop dining deck, offering views of the ocean.
The design takes the roof off the central portion of the current mall to provide for open-air walkways and spacious public gathering areas, according to Macerich.
Macerich officials said the new design addresses the interests and priorities of Santa Monica residents, who offered input at extensive community meetings.
The new Santa Monica Place is expected to draw shoppers from throughout the region, Macerich officials said.

Well, like most things in life, this move hasn't happened anything like we had hoped After hours of packing we realized everything wasn't going to fit in the van. So we ended up ditching a of the items we would need like trash cans and other items like that to fit in our clothes and furniture. We took apart chairs and repacked and got almost everything in. Then We drove down separately and I ended up staying to finish up a few last minute errands and left hours after I planned.
We arrived at the house to find that our landlord had done nothing that he promised us would be done. We had a really dirty house, 3 small kids a truck and van full of stuff to unpack and a back door that had no window in it. needless to say by this time I was so mad. I was so tired and just wanted to not have to fight to get things done like promised. I get that when you are frugal sometimes you cut corners, but this was not what I wanted to hear.
So the last couple days have been filled with cleaning each room while moving boxes around and trying to make this a home so my family could feel at home here. What have I learned from all this?? you have to give and take where you cam. Get EVERYTHING in writing form your landlord so this doesn't happen. Be prepared for everything to go wrong when you are moving, then you can't get disapointed. And lastly, family is what is important so do what you need to to keep them safe.
I am exhausted. I hope you all understand and I will see you again on Monday. I am pretty sure we will be done with all the cleaning and unpacking by then.
