GDA labelling
A tool to help improve the food literacy of consumers
The term 'Guideline Daily Amount' (GDA) will be replaced with 'Reference Intake' (RI) however the principles behind how these values are determined remains the same.
This is the first time that the actual values will be set out in European law.
RIs are given for all of the mandatory nutrients (below). However, unlike with
GDAs where values existed for men, women and children, for simplicity there is
only one set of RIs (below).
Although the RI values are for an 'adult', they are actually based on the
requirements for an average female with no special dietary requirements and an
energy intake of 2000 kcal.
IMPORTANT: This information is a guide only and is not individual advice.
The values for the nutrients provided on the front of pack – fat, saturates,
sugars, salt – are maximum amounts and not targets to aim for.
Although currently some product labels show GDA information for children,
this is not allowed on labels under the new law.

Quote of the Month
"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect."
Mark Twain
Women's Program
Women's Program series was created to help build community among women from multiple backgrounds. This program also strives to provide an opportunity for women to learn from each other through discussions and activities that talk about the experiences of women. Women's Programs allows women to come together and open up about who they are as women and how their lives have been defined through identity. It is an opportunity to explore their differences and find commonalities between other women they may not have met before. Finally, it also helps students, faculty and staff and community build a support system that allows women to be empowered to reach their goals.
More information regarding this year's women series will be provided early spring semester.

Swimwear you'll want to wear
Nadia El Dasher | February 5, 2013
The mention of swimwear sends chills down my spine- the sheer panic of wearing (pretty much) waterproof underwear, in public and in broad daylight is enough to make the best of us flee from pool parties, days at the beach, yacht outings and the like.
However, these clever and comfortable cover ups by Brazilian label Adriana Degreas are our new favourite disguise.
With bang on-trend oversize animals, Navajo prints and pastel tones you can rest assured that you're hitting all the right style notes in the sun.

Track by Track: 'Hyperdub 10.2'
Kode9 gives a rundown of the new Hyperdub compilation, with additional contributions from Jessy Lanza, Scratcha DVA, Cooly G, King Britt and more.
Stream and download an exclusive hour-long mix from the brilliant returning producer.
Published: 10/07/13
We're particularly chuffed to present this week's Dummy Mix, an absolute ripper from Ikonika. The West London producer is best known for her associations with the labels Hyperdub (where she released her first singles and the album 'Contact, Love, Want, Have' in 2010) and her own Hum + Buzz (co-run with Optimum and where she released the 'I Make Lists' EP last year) and streaked the rather bleak dubstep landscape with some much-needed colour and shine when she emerged in the mid-to-late 2000s.
She's set to release her second album 'Aerotropolis' later this month, and this mix opens with a stripped-back edit of its opening single Beach Mode before delving into an hour of distorted but forthright, hard-jacking beats. As far as those trademark synths go: alongside moments of relief like the "033472 edit" of Shed's Well Done My Son are another two of Ikonika's own productions, though her very vivid melodies tend to act more as catalysts than coolants - really tearing through tracks and adding to the great sense of momentum. Stream and download this forceful, forward-thinking mix and read our brief Q&A with its maker.
Hi Ikonika! What have you been up to?
Been getting back into the swing of doing press stuff. I'm really excited to have a new album coming out.
Can you give us a little background to this mix?
I recorded this mix in my garden studio. Using Serato and vinyl on an Allen & Heath Xone 92, with a couple of midi controllers for loops and effects. I finally compressed using Logic. It's the sort of set I wish I could play more often, it's got a similar vibe to my Night Slugs Boiler Room set from last summer.
Your second album is obviously coming out very soon, is there anything we can glean about it from the mix?
The mix could be a look back, some of these tunes really helped the process of 'Aerotropolis', but also the healing from locking myself away.
You started with a Percapella version of your single Beach Mode - which is a smash. There has always been a great potential for vocals in your music but is this the first time you've actually incorporated singing in your work?
Yes, apart from remixes.
Bar the inclusions on this tracklist, what has excited you musically in 2013 so far?
I've been enjoying making a mess of things to devastating effect.
Lastly, what are you most looking forward to in the next six months?
Touring my debut live show.

Chapter 5
Making Yourself Known
Despite their best attempts to avoid confrontation, Gabriel now had a fight on his hands, and it wasn't going to be easy. The dragon hybrid was easily 8ft tall compared to his 6ft. His arms and legs were covered in red scales, tough as any armor while Gabriel had only his silver fur. His chest was broader, his muscles were stronger, and unlike Gabriel who was calm and collected, the dragon was seething at rage from his failed attempt to intimidate the "fresh meat." Smoke rose from his human nostrils as his eyes burned just as hot and bright as his inner fire. His red ponytail like hair almost looking as if it were the flames rising from his head.
"Forgive me for not being scared of your little light show. Fire isn't really something I'm afraid of. After all, both my sister and I are from the lands of the Magus, so simple fire breathing and flame attacks just look like silly magic to us." Gabriel

Chapter 4: New Home?
"The camp itself is 800 yards long by 600 yards wide. It is home to more than 200 mercenaries, 250 human camp aides, and a Imperial Army Garrison belonging to the 1st Eastern Army." Sarah said as she marched ahead of Gabriel and Macha, using her sword to identify points of interest. "To the left you'll see the Rank 10 to 8 barracks." "You mean those wooden long cabins?" Macha said trying to clarify.
"Yes Miss Ames, that's where you'll be staying until your squad has advanced past rank 8." Gabriel looked at the cabins as Sarah continued to talk. They were long and thin, shoddily constructed and in his opinion looked like they would fall apart. The slanted wooden roofs were darkened with age and with how narrow the buildings themselves were he figured they must only hold 5 to 10 mercenaries or aides inside them, which explained why there were so many of them lined up next to one anoth

Chapter 3: Castle in the Forest
Gabriel felt his stomach lurch and shake around as the truck carrying he and Macha drove deeper into the overgrown forest. He had wanted to walk, but Macha had pointed out that it was going to be a good few miles to reach Fort Silva, and she could fly while he couldn't. So they instead had gotten a ride on a supply truck heading for the base. The soldier driving the truck at first hadn't seemed too keen on giving them a lift, but with some kind words from Macha, followed by some death threats from Gabriel, he quickly relented and had let them ride along, or rather Macha sat up front with the driver while Gabriel rode in the back, with the supplies, and the other items, as the truck tossed and threw him around due to the hard ground they were driving on.
"We HAD to get transferred to the fort in the forest. We just HAD to be assigned to Fort Silva." Gabriel mumbled as he thought back to the moment he and Macha had

Chapter 2: Changes
When a body first regains its composure after passing out, the first thing that returns is your sight, followed by your sense of smell, hearing, and then everything else follows after that. For Gabriel, the first thing he saw was a bright light shining right in his face. His eyes squinted in reflex as the world around him continued to come into focus as his eyes quickly adjusted to the light hovering over him. His nose twitched as he inhaled a breath of air, but nothing caught his attention. It smelled like a sterile hospital room and around him as he turned his head that's exactly what it looked like. A small room with him on a metal table a bright light shining his face that he cursed and wished would turn off.
"Good Morning Gabriel." A mechanical voice cut through the silence of the room as Gabriel sat up. "Your transformation was a complete success. Though you did pass out upon leaving th

The Surinamese player sustained the problem to his right ankle during NEC's 3-1 defeat at PSV Eindhoven on 11th September following a challenge by Erik Pieters and has not featured for the Eredivisie club since.
George attempted to regain fitness for last month's clash at NAC Breda, but suffered another setback and was unable to feature.
However, the 23-year-old appears poised to make his comeback after returning to training on Thursday and practicing with the rest of the squad.
Head coach Wiljan Vloet will consider the forward for selection ahead of Sunday's visit of ADO Den Haag, NEC have confirmed on their official website.

About Janice Patterson
Bruce and Janice, retired teachers, grew up in Salem, Oregon
Janice Patterson purchased this condo in 1994
Why Janice Patterson chose Kailua Kona
We chose to buy our vacation rental, because our dream had always been to live in Hawaii. As the time neared, we decided that Kona was the place for us. We felt it had the most desirable weather, fishing, and most harmonious cultural blend. We felt the community desire was to work together for the best interest and welfare of all.
What makes this condo unique
We initially were attracted by the beauty of our ocean, magnificent sunsets, lush tropical plants and landscaping. The cultural activities of Hawaii, being hula or ukulele to name just a few, are available for all. There are so many activities available that it is difficult to choose. The Hawaiian culture is gracious, generous, humble, and willing to share the beauty of their heritage.
Guestbook comments from the owner
As our nearly 3 weeks stay in your condo at Kailua Village draws to a close, we wanted you to know what a wonderful time we had. The unit is absolutely Terrific! The layout, the furnishings, the view, and the location could not be better. You two have thought of everything to make a stay Perfect . . from the beach chairs to the rice cooker. You have overlooked and forgotten nothing. I'm not sure our home in California is equipped as well.
As you know, this is my third and J's second trip to the Big island, and we were here during the Aloha Festival activities. We felt that we had the time to really get to see the Island and enjoy the people and the Hawaiian culture. You are really blessed to call this home.
You can bet that we will tell anyone planning a trip to Kona to contact the Pattersons.

DEFINITION of 'Average Collection Period'
The approximate amount of time that it takes for a business to receive payments owed, in terms of receivables, from its customers and clients.
Calculated as:
Days = Total amount of days in period
AR = Average amount of accounts receivables
Credit Sales = Total amount of net credit sales during period
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Average Collection Period'
For example, suppose that a widget making company, XYZ Corp, has total credit sales of $100,000 during a year (assume 365 days) and has an average amount of accounts receivables is $50,000. Its average collection period is 182.5 days.
Due to the size of transactions, most businesses allow customers to purchase goods or services via credit, but one of the problems with extending credit is not knowing when the customer will make cash payments. Therefore, possessing a lower average collection period is seen as optimal, because this means that it does not take a company very long to turn its receivables into cash. Ultimately, every business needs cash to pay off its own expenses (such as operating and administrative expenses).

Mother's pride
Duration: 03:01
Many animals are born into volatile and treacherous communities. Lion cubs start by avoiding the pride - mothers behave as though the pride is a dangerous thing. The cubs are born blind and helpless and she hides them for the first six weeks, visiting them only for feeds. Sibling rivalry starts early: the cubs all have their own characters, each very different, much like our own families. The mother has to juggling difficult decisions: she must introduce her cubs to the pride, but it's a risk - lions kill infants they don't know. It's crucial that they recognise these cubs as nephews and nieces, or even as their own offspring. The mother approaches a teenage male, probably her son from a previous litter, snarling a warning at him. He returns the snarls but slowly the cubs win him round. They play with him, almost teasing his conflicting emotions. The new cubs become part of the pride. Mothers, sisters, and older daughters all work together, feeding and guarding the cubs as they turn the Serengeti into their playground.

U.S. Rep. Tom Graves' attorney says the disputed loan agreement between his client and a Northwest Georgia bank is not valid because the bank should have known the Georgia congressman couldn't repay the money and it cut the lawmaker some slack when his company couldn't make payments.
In court documents, attorney Simon Bloom contends Bartow County Bank never should have issued Graves and his business partner a loan, citing statements in a deposition in which a bank official admitted knowing the partners did not have the money to guarantee the loan.
Graves and state Senate Majority Leader Chip Rogers, R-Woodstock, took out a loan to go into the hotel business, running the Oglethorpe Inn off Interstate 75 in Calhoun. They were sued by the bank in January 2010, with the suit alleging that Graves' and Rogers' motel and hospitality company defaulted on a loan for $2.25 million.
The two filed a counterclaim in March 2010 stating that the bank had allowed Tich Hospitality to refinance the loan in November 2009, but then went back on its word. Documents indicate Tich Hospitality missed payments from June 4, 2009, until the bank formally declared default that December.
In the recent legal filings, Bartow County Bank's attorney said the default claim was based on Graves and Rogers selling the company without telling the lender. A hearing for summary judgment has been set for Aug. 11, but similar hearings in the past have been canceled.
Graves and bank attorney Edward Hine both declined to comment on the story Friday, in keeping with their practice of not doing so throughout the proceedings.
Bloom did not return messages, but in the court documents he says the bank is "simply wasting the court's time and resources in attempting to enforce personal guaranties against individuals it clearly knows to be unable to perform under those guaranties."
He argues that, based on legal precedents, if the loan is based on personal guarantees banks must ensure the borrowers are capable of repaying the money before agreeing on a loan. He argues the agreement never was valid to begin with because the bank knew that Rogers and Graves, a champion of fiscal responsibility in Washington, could not back up their personal guarantees. Bloom quotes the deposition from bank Vice President Alan Black in which Black acknowledges "I knew that they didn't have $2.2 million, no."
Bloom also contends that the bank's decision to let Graves and Rogers go a few weeks without paying on the loan constitutes a change of the terms and invalidates the agreement. After they missed their first payment, bank officials were lenient in letting them pay later. It was only after about five months of missed payments that the bank declared the account in default.
"If a party to a contract knows that the other party defaulted but does nothing to enforce the default, then the party's failure to enforce the default may waive the default," Bloom wrote.
Attorneys with Bartow County Bank assert Graves and Rogers defaulted on the loan when they sold Tich on Nov. 23, 2009, without notifying the bank. The loan documents required the borrowers to get written consent from the bank before selling the company, which gave the bank reason to declare a default, according to the filings.
In his deposition, Black said he and Graves spoke about the loan on Nov. 30 and Graves failed to mention that he and his partner had sold their interest in the company.
But in Black's deposition, he also said he talked to the bank president between Nov. 23 and Dec. 4 and was told the bank would not do the refinancing without more collateral from Graves and Rogers. Black says he and Graves spoke on Nov. 30 and Graves said neither he nor Rogers would be putting up any more collateral.
Andy began working at the Times Free Press in July 2008 as a general assignment reporter before focusing on Northwest Georgia and Georgia politics in May of 2009. Before coming to the Times Free Press, Andy worked for the Anniston Star, the Rome News Tribune and the Campus Carrier at Berry College, where he graduated with a communications degree in 2006. He is pursuing a master's degree in business administration at the University of Tennessee ...
Why should a Congressman have to repay a business loan? Just because he signed a personal guarantee doesn't mean he really meant to give the bank any of HIS money.
Congressman Graves is one our fiscal conservatives in Washington, looking after the nations business.
No wonder this elevator is going down.
A personal guarantee does not necessarily mean that a borrower can repay a loan, only that the borrower is willing to give up any assets he may have should he be unable to repay the original loan. The lender gets the mortgaged property back PLUS the borrower's personal assets up to the total of the loan deficiency.
Why does Graves have a leg to stand on? Why hasn't the judge laughed Graves and his attorney out of court?
If this is the best defense his attorney can muster, he is in big trouble. I hope their not paying the lawyer for this defense.
I just returned from a visit to Rep. Graves' office in Dalton and his staffer told me that the reason Rep. Graves defaulted on the loan was because of this bad economy. Later, he told me that the reason the economy is in such bad shape is because banks were loaning money to folks who couldn't pay it back. Quite a circular argument there.
Tom Graves latest crime is conspiracy, extortion,and treason. I'm curious to hear this Simon Blooms explanation of these crimes. It probably goes like this; The people of the 9th district never should have trusted this idiot to represent them in the first place so my client isn't responsible.
Da Lawya sez that by signing the personal guarantee He has "skin in the game" DUH! Where did He get his Law Lic.- from a Cracker-Jack Box. To have "Skin in the game" you have to have $Money/down invested or something at stake to lose. And He had NONE, Nothing, NADA ! It appears that He Mortaged-out, i.e. borrowed more than the property was worth, exactly what he campaigned against. How do you spell: H Y P O C R I T E ? Remind me when He comes up for Re-election
Personal guarantees should never have been made when such huge sums of money are being dealt with. When it comes to business, everything has to be in black and white, and if the congressman had sold the interest in the business without notifying the bank, then he was at fault as well.
Simon - http://www.starrausten.com
He can't even take care of his personal finances, what is there left to say about the US nation then? If you ever decide to take a loan, you must be sure you can pay evrything back. Have a few back up plans before apllying for somthing like that. Brandon: https://paydayloansat.com/

Last year, a blogger wrote about adolescence, calling it a "modern plague" that – (thank goodness) – has a cure. He said:
"Back in the old days, there were two types of people in the world: children and adults. You were a child, then you became an adult. ...Adolescence is a state of the art modern innovation, like crack-cocaine and chemical warfare."
And just like that, he eradicated youth ministry as sacred vocation, effectively smithereening (real word) it into a juicy pulp of cultural repulsion. Thank you for that.
This blogger's view of adolescence is what academics like to call a "recent social construct," and it's a familiar one. Most of us have heard it. Many of us have read it. Lots of us have studied it. Some of us have taught it.
So it might come as a surprise that it's not entirely – or even mostly – accurate.
True, some aspects of the adolescent experience are recent, and certain societal characteristics of it have shifted over time – just like with every other life stage and every other major identity demographic. But adolescence, understood as an in-between stage of life bridging childhood and adulthood, is not a new idea. Not by a long shot.
During the murky intertestamental period, Aristotle described adolescence as a time of strong passions, fickle desires, moodiness, hot tempers, hopeful dispositions, surprising courage, a hesitancy to accept rules of society, exalted notions, know-it-all-ness, and a focus on peer groups. During the time of Polycarp and Irenaeus, Claudius Ptolemy determined that the third stage of life – adolescence, following infancy and childhood – was controlled by Venus, the planet of love, desire, and sexual gratification. Tenth-century thinkers identified adolescentia as one of four distinct stages of life, following childhood, and preceding adulthood and old age, lasting from the early teen years to the mid-twenties. (Here is just one example of this illustrated theory. Image from Byrhtferth's Enchiridion, as illustrated in the Ramsey Computus, Oxford, St John College, ms. 17, fol. 7v.)
Preachers of old worried about young people who knew all the stories and ballads about Robin Hood but couldn't remember the Our Father. They bemoaned adult men who wore their hair long, their hose tight, and their tunics short – like adolescents – because if they didn't set a good example, who would? English dictionaries going as far back as 1538 included entries for adolescence, defined in one as a yonge man, whiche is yet growynge, in another as the age betwene childhoode and mans age, whiche is betwene 14 and 21, and in yet another as the Flower of Youth; the State from Fourteen to Twenty-five or Thirty in Men, and from Twelve to Twenty-one in Women.
They may have talked and dressed differently, sang different songs, learned old-fangled math, and been less attractive to the economic powers-that-be, but adolescents have always been to a certain degree the in-betweeners. And adults have always been the ones to define and control the in-betweeners, in part by placing immediate limits on their allowed freedoms, and in part by determining and sometimes delaying their entrance into full and independent adulthood.
Adults have also had consistent worries and fears about adolescents (their proclivities for sex, drinking, carousing, dancing, dicing, and all manner of naughtiness) alongside opposing envy of adolescents (their health, beauty, passion, energy, and all manner of awesomeness). This tendency to either idealize or demonize adolescents should sound familiar. They are either Katniss Everdeen, savior of dystopia (and the box-office), or "a modern plague," bane of society (and the blogosphere).
Where does that leave those of us who love and are committed to adolescents? Are we ministering to a freakish-construct-of-contemporary-culture or to a designed-masterpiece-of-sacred-creation? Are adolescent angst and identity confusion (to the extent that they actually exist) merely negative consequences of our own era's making, or is the adolescent experience of growing out of childhood and into adulthood a natural and common process?
These questions matter. If we accept that adolescence is both new and man-made, then what hope do we possibly have for successfully guiding them through a natural stage of development and into a life of mature personhood and deep faith? Why even bother?
But we do bother...because it's anything but a bother to do so.
Eugene Peterson writes that while infants are God's gift to younger parents, adolescents are His gift to middle-decades parents, when there is sometimes stagnation, letdown, and disappointment as the "ideals and expectations of earlier years are experienced as fatigue. ...And then God's gift: in the rather awkward packaging of the adolescent God brings into our lives a challenge to grow, testing our love, chastening our hope, pushing our faith to the edge of the abyss. It comes at just the right time" (Like Dew, Your Youth: Growing Up with Your Teenager, Eerdman's, 1994).
At just the right time, indeed, not just for middle-decade parents but for youth ministers of all decades.

We are fortunate to know so many incredible youth workers that are far wiser than we are and Stephen Ingram is one of them. We're excited to share this guest post from Stephen.

I work in a big church. I mean a really big church. My church has more members than my hometown has people! While I love my church and my youth group, I'd be lying to you if I said I didn't, sometimes, miss the joy of doing youth ministry in a smaller church setting. I don't miss it in a nostalgic sort of way, but I do miss the necessity of the youth in churches that are smaller.
Here is what I mean…
Smaller churches don't have the option of letting youth silo and create the "one-eared Mickey Mouse" as easily as larger churches do. Most smaller churches I've worked with have to use their youth in larger ecclesial practices like being in the choir, reading scripture, serving on boards, helping with children's Sunday school, being in the Christmas and Easter productions, running sound—and a myriad of other activities that ingrain them into the life of the congregation.
Does this mean that churches are "using" their youth to do the things they do not want to do? Maybe, in some cases. But it can also be thought about as a way of furthering the responsibility and ownership of the students in the greater church ministry. In smaller churches, there is such a great potential for students to acquire, develop, and practice leadership in an ecclesial setting. I owe so much of who I am in ministry and leadership to having grown up in a small church where I was given the reins of many projects at a youth-group age.
Often times I hear leaders of smaller church youth ministries wanting the benefits of a larger group: They want to do bigger trips, bigger worship, and bigger events. I totally understand this. I remember taking a group to a beach retreat center and having one of those massive groups there along side of us. In some ways, I was annoyed and in others I was envious.
But what I learned that week was pretty special. Our whole group could hang out in one of the rooms that we had rented—there were only about 25 of us, so every night we would all pile into that room, watch Shark Week, play cards, and laugh until we cried. It was awesome.
The other leaders and I had real and deep, meaningful relationships with each one of those youth. We knew them and they knew us. As I looked at the other, big group, I knew that kind of one-on-one connection wasn't something that was as accessible to them. I was proud of my group, my church, and myself. I found the beauty in the small thing that day.
Consider your smaller church group a gift! Understand the number of students you have as a tool and an opportunity to do intense developmental and leadership training. Here are a few practical ways you can start…
Do not try to do things that you can only do in big groups. If you usually have eight kids in your youth group, don't try to launch a grade-based, small-group ministry. Remember that just because it's successful in other churches doesn't mean that it'll work in your church!
You have a unique opportunity to allow your youth ministry to be a ministry leadership lab for the students who belong to it. In larger youth groups, there's often a premium put on "polished performance ministry." There isn't usually the same expectation in smaller groups. Take advantage of that by letting your kids lead! One of my favorite retreats I did at a smaller church included worship services designed, developed, and led by students in groups of three. It was incredible.
There's no doubt that being in an arena with thousands of other youth is exhilarating and gives your students a great experience that they'll never forget. Take your kids to these big conferences occasionally. It's something different and something that will inspire them.
After you go to the big conference, don't come home and try to copy the stuff you saw. You won't do it as well (neither will I) and that's not why your kids come to your group anyway. They come for the intimacy, the community, and the love they feel… not for pyrotechnics.

In the natural world, there is a phenomenon called parthenogenesis.
Parthenogenesis is the process where an organism asexually reproduces due to environment or lack of a mating partner. Commonly known as cloning. Rather than having an egg from one parent and sperm from the other, certain organisms can simply duplicate their cells to create exact copies of themselves.
This is possible in a number of invertebrates and insects like aphids and water fleas. It has also been known to happen in some amphibians and reptiles. Komodo Dragons even.
Although this is a tremendous feat that sci-fi movies have tried to duplicate for years, it's not the most effective form of reproduction.
Asexual reproduction robs the new organism of diversity and variation. Because standard sexual reproduction incorporates the inherited genetic code of two different parents, the offspring has the chance to integrate both sets of successful DNA. In theory, the offspring is stronger and more fit than both parents.
Think of this in Christian Formation. We know we are being formed by something: our families, friends, interests, studies, etc. Everything in the world around us shapes how we think and live.
If we spent our whole lives only taking in one teaching or strain of thought, we would only be as effective as that one idea can be. This would be the equivalent of spiritual parthenogenesis. Not bad, yet there is a better way.
Now, imagine if we were to take on as many ideas, teachings, and experiences as possible. It would strengthen our understanding and ability to think about the world around us.
In Christian formation we are learning to think and see the world as Jesus would. We must realize that not everyone perceives life in the same way.
"There are as many denominations as there are Christians in the world" – Dallas Willard.
No one author, speaker, preacher, or idea has the exhaustive understanding of the depth of Christ's revelation of his holy and glorious Abba. We are strengthened as we encounter various ideas and thoughts, ultimately submitting to our master teacher, the Christ.
We are in need of dedicated Christ followers who understand more than their particular Sunday morning experience. We need Christians who understand how the good news shared around the world impacts all of humanity.
We have the opportunity to glean as much knowledge as we can about the environments and people around us, and with the Holy Spirit alive in us, help His kingdom come on earth as it is in the Heavens.

He is the curator for the Christian Spiritual Formation Undergraduate program at the Apprentice Institute and he also leads worship, teaches workshops, and creates and implements partnerships with churches and various organizations.

The Remaining is the latest in a line of movies based on Christian themes. There is no doubt that Hollywood has figured out that Christians are willing to come out for movies that promise what many Christians hope for in a film, an opportunity to share the Christian faith with their friends and neighbors.
If you haven't seen the trailer yet, you can watch it HERE.
The Remaining differs from most Christian films I've seen to date. The film is a supernatural thriller bordering on the horror genre and that alone is unique. I am presented with many films to screen each year, and most of the time my kids (teenagers themselves) have no interest in them. Talking them into viewing The Remaining was different; they were intrigued and easily persuaded to watch with me. I had no idea where the evening would take us as a family, and in all honesty I was surprised.
Let me explain…
The Remaining is LOOSELY based on a rapture-like occurrence. This is important to understand. I interviewed screenwriter Chris Dowling, (no surprise he's been a youth worker in his church) who affirmed my hunch. The film is not meant to be an accurate portrayal or interpretation of The Revelation of Jesus Christ. The Remaining is a teen oriented, supernatural thriller capturing the events of several lives in the aftermath of a worldwide catastrophe. It is filmed as if in real time, piecing together footage that you assume might be from a cell-phone camera or a GoPro.
Some who hold to eschatological views other than a pre-tribulation rapture may struggle with the film's premise, but so will pre-tribulationists. If you think of The Remaining more as a movie about faith and authenticity rather than the actual events of scripture, then the movie becomes much more palatable for the theologically minded. It's a solid scare flick of good quality that teens will most likely want to watch, and it will raise questions—loads of questions. At least it did in my house, and I believe movies that raise questions are always good.
I don't want to reveal too much about the film. Let's just say that the characters that "remain" do quite a bit of soul searching regarding the nature of their belief as they try to survive the aftermath of unimaginable events.
Our family munched popcorn, jumped and screamed in all the right places and finishing the film satisfied. Everything tied up in the end a little too neatly for my taste, falling prey to the problem facing most faith based films. But I watched a pre-release of the film a few months ago, so they may have tweaked the ending.
Paul wrote to the Romans that faith comes by hearing, something in all my years of evangelism I have found to be true. My example and witness is essential, but at some point, faith comes through hearing the good news. This is a dilemma for screenwriters. Movies are better when they "show" rather than "tell", but at some point, dialog takes over. Genuine coming to faith in Christ is hard to show visually, and never feels "right" in most cinematic expressions, even in other genres. I would have been fine if they'd left things more open ended, but I am sure they felt they had to "land the plane" with more clarity. In talking with Chris Dowling about his approach to screenwriting, I got the impression the editing process may have gotten the best of the intended script.
The movie ends and the first thing my daughter asks, "Is that the way it's really going to happen?" My daughter, who doesn't often initiate conversations like this, engaged me in a dialogue that lasted several hours and continues to this day. I can't remember the last time that happened. We didn't just discuss eschatology; we talked about authenticity and true faith. Many of the characters struggle with this question throughout the film, and I could see that my daughter and son were really intrigued by it. Were they afraid of being left behind? Was fear motivating our discussions? I couldn't determine and I'm not sure they could either. Afterall, this was just a thriller, not a movie necessarily about Christianity. But I do know that they were very interested in the difference between going through the motions of faith and being true believers. What followed is a fairly intimate conversation I think I'll keep within our family's circle of trust to save my children any further grief I've already heaped upon them by bringing them into this review. But as a youth worker and father, these are the conversations I long for with my children and teens.
Can I guarantee that the same will happen for you? No, I can't. But I did like the direction this movie was taking faith based films and I see a long line of them coming out in the future. I hope they continue to improve and become more appealing to those outside the church as well. I think it's important to get behind our brothers and sisters in Christ, like screenwriter Chris Dowling, who are in the mainstream media. Hopefully their success will give them more opportunities to refine their craft and continue making films that have a deeper subtext.
Most likely this will be a movie teens inside and outside the church will want to see. It's scary and that is always appealing to the risk taking, thrill seeking side of adolescents. It's best if we are ready to engage their minds after they see it.

Wayne Rice is the co-founder of Youth Specialties and has had such an incredible influence on the world of youth ministry. In this YS Idea Lab, Wayne shares about the importance of intergenerational ministry and some ideas to help make it happen in your church:
In case you don't have time to watch the full interview, here are a few key points that Wayne dives into:
- Everyone worships together. You've got to get the old and the young into the same room to learn how to worship alongside one another.
- Make an effort to give the spotlight to all generations. Bring members of different generations upfront to represent all different ages.
- Create intergenerational gatherings. Find ways to get different generations together so they can get to know each other and learn from one another.
- Make an extra effort for those individuals that don't have a family. Utilize the intergenerational events to provide a family for those that come to the church without a family.

Come Experience Individual Attention
Purpose and Core Values
Ohio Wesleyan University identifies three major objectives: (1) to impart knowledge as transmitted through the humanities, arts, and sciences; (2) to develop and enhance certain important capabilities of students, including the development of creative talents in several fields, and by the preparation of students for careers through professional and pre-professional programs; and (3) to place education in the context of values maintaining the college's outstanding traditions in these areas".
The Music Department has developed its objectives to reflect the broader institutional purposes but with reference to music as the identified discipline. (1) to impart knowledge as transmitted through the study and performance of music, (2) to develop and enhance the creative and academic musical talents of students, and (3) to place the study of music in a context of social, cultural and educational values.
The purpose of the department is articulated as: "We are here to develop the talents, minds, and character of our students through the discipline and art of music.
The department also identifies a set or core values: "Musical expression is a basic part of being human. We encourage and assist our students to develop their musical intelligence to their greatest potential, thereby fulfilling the wholeness of their humanity and their ability to improve the lives of others. That our students enjoy and participate in music for a lifetime; that they are committed to adding beauty to their world and changing lives for the better. We pursue creative and scholarly work to satisfy our professional curiosity and passion. We mentor by example."
The Music Department has been a vital facet of the Ohio Wesleyan community for over 150 years. As one of the most respected music programs of the liberal arts colleges in Ohio, the Department of Music is characterized by talented and experienced faculty, outstanding facilities, personal attention, and numerous performing opportunities for both music majors and other interested students.
Music majors are offered the unique and challenging environment of the professional music degree program within the context of the university's renowned liberal arts curriculum while the entire Ohio Wesleyan community enjoys a variety of musical performance and learning opportunities.
The Department of Music announces the opening of the newly renovated McMullen Electro-Acoustic Music Studio (MEAMS)
With the opening of the newly renovated McMullen Electro Acoustic Music Studio (MEAMS), students now have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of electo-acoustic music composition. The studio, located in Sanborn Hall, is overseen by the Assistant Professor of Composition, Music Theory and Electronic Music. The MEAMS has the latest in digital audio editing technology. In the studio, students can create new electro-acoustic music compositions, master compact discs (CDs) or add music to film. The MEAMS is a Mac-based environment that boasts an incredible 2.5 terabytes of hard drive space. Students learn the basics of acoustics, musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) technology, and digital audio through MUS229 Introduction to Electronic Music Composition. They also work hands on with the equipment in their own three-hour block of studio time each week. This course culminates in final projects that are original compositions. Students may continue work in the studio through an independent study.
Dr. Thomas Carto founded the MEAMS in 1989 through a generous bequest of Marie McMullen. The times have changed, but the mission remains the same: to broaden the resources of music technology at OWU so that students and faculty members may explore, learn and create.

The action film commented sourly on both privatization and a corporate climate the film industry sneered at during the 1980s. According to TCM, "The target in RoboCop is unmistakably the corporate and militaristic culture of the Reagan era." The remake, due to hit theaters Feb. 12, couldn't hit the same subjects. Instead, it focuses on concerns over privacy, drones and the not-so-hidden menace that is ... Fox News. An early review of the film says the new RoboCop isn't kind to business types, either. The critic says the film saves its heaviest firepower to blast away at a conservative pundit played by Samuel L. Jackson. The satire here lies squarely in the portrayal of right wing Republican news centres like Fox News and Bill O'Reilly type personas. Samuel Jackson milks this role with much gusto, highlighting the same way how news agencies of the type are so embedded in pushing their own agenda and pervasiveness on changing social opinion. RoboCop stars Joel Kinnaman in the title role alongside Michael Keaton, Gary Oldman and Abbie Cornish.

The login tracker has 2 parts, the LAN logon tracker, and the Web Tracker. What you are after is the Web Tracker, which is enabled when you assign the tracker a SQL Provider to use
Is there any way to log which user logs in from outside the school and a date and time in any other way other than the Logon Tracker? I believe Logon Tracker is only for monitoring LAN logins so it requires a client-side install.
The login tracker has 2 parts, the LAN logon tracker, and the Web Tracker. What you are after is the Web Tracker, which is enabled when you assign the tracker a SQL Provider to use
nLinked (26th November 2012)
A little stuck on step 3 of the doc where you need to add user IIS APPPOOL\$apppool$. Hvae seen some posts here from others who have had the same issue. For me on IIS 7 it doesn't find any user with IIS APPPOOL. Or HAP. Neither locally or on the domain.
However, when initially setting up HAP, I did have to run "icacls C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Hap /grant "IIS AppPool\HAP"RX)" to create a HAP user. That worked fine for folder permissions. But I can't search for the same user in SQL Mgmnt Studio, it just doesn't locate.
Is there anything I can do?
Managed to add it in! Followed this first to add the user, then it automatically added itself to the permissions for step 3 of the doc for login tracker.
Hi Nick
I'm on the step "Change provider="XML" to provider=" SQLConnectionString"", but my web.config (in root) doesn't have "Change provider=" in there at all. A search for that returns nothing, also a search for "tracker" gives nothing. I'm sure I haven't deleted them...
That has been moved to the ~/app_data/hapConfig.xml file, you can also set the provider via the HAP+ Config page
Thanks, Nick! It is working!

You're one step closer to paradise...
Kim Steutermann Rogers
Hawaii Island, Kauai, Maui, Oahu
Article Source: Blog Post
Hawaii (Big) Island
Article Source: Copyright © 2012 by Fodor's Travel, a division of Random House Inc. All rights reserved.
It's easy to forget that Hawaii has its own music until you step off a plane onto the Islands—and then there's no escaping it. It's a unique blend of the strings and percussion favored by the early settlers and the chants and rituals of the ancient Hawaiians. Hawaiian music today includes Island-devised variations on acoustic guitar—slack key and steel guitar—along with the ukulele (a small, four-string guitar about the size of a violin), and vocals that have evolved from ritual chants to more melodic compositions.
As local ingredients continue to play a more prominent role on Big Island menus, chefs and farmers are working together to support a burgeoning agritourism industry in Hawaii. Several local farms have cropped up over the past few years to make specialty items that cater to the island's gourmet restaurants. The Hawaii Island Goat Dairy produces specialty cheese; lone beekeeper Richard Spiegel of Volcano Island Honey Co. produces a rare and delicious honey now available not only in local restaurants but on the shelves of high-end stores like Neiman Marcus; and the Hamakua Heritage Farm has turned mowed-down koa forests into a safe haven for gourmet mushrooms. While a handful of farms—like Mountain Thunder, which produces 100% organic Kona coffee, and Hawaiian Vanilla Vineyards, which is cultivating vanilla from orchids growing wild on the Hamakua Coast—are open to the public and offer free tours, others have opted instead to offer limited tours through group operators. The Big Island Farm Bureau has also tried to encourage local farming and agritourism through the creation of Hawaii AgVentures, an organization that schedules farm visits (to either single or multiple farms) for interested parties www.hawaiiagventures.com.
One of the few ways you can really see the untouched beauty of the Big Island is by flying over its lush forests, dense tree canopies, and glorious rushing waterfalls on a zipline course. You strap into a harness, get clipped to a cable and then zip, zip, zip your way through paradise. Most guide companies start you out easy on a slower, shorter line and by the end you graduate to faster, longer zips. It's an exhilarating adventure for all ages and has even been known to help some put aside their fear of heights (at least for a few minutes) to participate in the thrill ride. Check company credentials and specifics before you book to make sure your safety is their number one concern.
Many of the island's resorts allow nonguests to play for a fee. They also rent rackets, balls, and shoes. On the Kohala Coast, try the Fairmont Orchid Hawaii, the Hilton Waikoloa Village, and Waikoloa Beach Marriott. In Kailua-Kona there's the Ohana Keauhou Beach Resort, King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel, and the Royal Kona Resort.
