Inter-generational or intergenerational ministry is a model of Christian ministry which emphasizes relationships between age groups and encourages mixed-age activities.
Contrast with traditional models
Inter-generational ministry stands in contrast with other modes of ministry more traditionally seen in local churches, such as Sunday schools and youth ministries.
In Sunday school, children, youths, and sometimes adults, are instructed by teachers who are, typically, adults. Classes are usually divided by age groups, as in secular schools. In youth ministries, teens or young adults (especially college age) gather in groups presided over by a "youth minister". These groups, which are often part of parachurch organizations, focus on peer fellowship and instruction of their members.
These modes of ministry segregate members by age, and presuppose a hierarchical ministry in which more experienced, more educated, and generally older members minister didactically to their charges. Inter-generational activities, by contrast, emphasize a mixture of ages, and de-emphasize formal teacher-pupil relationships.
Types of activities

Inter-generational ministry is one of a number of movements which have arisen in response over concerns that young adults very commonly cease participation in church, and often do not return. Proponents of the inter-generational ministry movement hold that the hierarchical and didactic roles found in traditional church ministries deprive teens and young adults of a sense of purpose and involvement, since their role in these ministries is passive and subordinate, and since they are often kept separate from adult activities. Therefore, they propose that younger members should take active roles in the ministry of the local church, and that church activities should involve and encourage participation from members across a wide range of ages.
A second thread in the inter-generational ministry movement is that of family involvement. Concerns over divorce, abuse and other family disruptions led to criticism of how traditional church activities typically segregate family members according to age, thus de-emphasizing family relationships. Inter-generational activities were seen as a means to involve families as units, thus reinforcing family bonds.
Studies show that children attending Sunday Schools and youth programs are less likely to continue church involvement, compared to those who attended worship with parents, and are integrated into a community (eg, Mark de Vries Family-Based Youth Ministry, 2004). Those children who continue church involvement as adults often have a 'nominal faith' (e.g. George Barna Transforming children into Spiritual Champions, 2003).
Proponents of this mode of ministry claim it is a Biblical model - particularly when the ministry is located within the family in accordance with the 'relational' Hebrew model described in Deuteronomy 6.

Wearing shackles and under heavy guard, McVeigh, in his first interview since he was sentenced to death for the Oklahoma City bombing, speaks to Ed Bradley about the children who died in the blast, his anger toward the U.S. government and his appeal for a new trial.
Fayed Fails To Block Diana Book
McVeigh was convicted of first-degree murder, conspiracy and weapons-related charges in the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. The worst such attack on U.S. soil ever, the bombing killed 168 people and injured hundreds more.
McVeigh is now awaiting execution. The Supreme Court without comment rejected an appeal in which McVeigh argued that his trial was tainted by jury misconduct and news reports that he confessed to his lawyers.

Katie has been fortunate to have the opportunity to travel to Argentina, Mexico and Guatemala. In college, Katie discovered her interest in social justice during a Latin American philosophy class that led her to a summer abroad in Argentina. Working with the group Borderlinks, Katie helped lead a trip to Mexico for high school youth focusing on immigration and border issues. In Guatemala, she went to language school and lived with a family for several months and can't wait to go back. Her exposure abroad has introduced Katie to the kind of injustice much of the world faces and has given her a desire to be part of the change that fair trade demands. In her free time, Katie is usually cheering on one of her favorite sports teams, enjoying live music or trying out a new restaurant.
As the Community Development Manager, Brandy comes to One World Market with a commitment to connecting cultures and serving others. She believes in conscience buying choices that support global social justice. Brandy appreciates that each of the artisans featured in the store has a unique craft and inspiring story to share with our customers. With an insatiable appetite for travel, Brandy's own global adventures include swimming with wild whale sharks in Australia, hiking volcanoes in New Zealand, working abroad in London, dancing on tables at Munich's Oktoberfest and camping in many National Parks from Glacier to Yellowstone to her personal favorite, Cumberland Island. Brandy recently earned her MsED with a concentration in community well-being, social change and sustainable enterprise at the University of Miami. Her public service career path began while directing a nearby adult literacy council. With an entrepreneurial passion and a heart for service, she advocates for best business practices that empower solutions to social justice issues. When not helping One World Market customers select the perfect fair trade treasures, Brandy can be found exploring the Triangle, planning her next travel adventure or chasing her four-legged crew.
Cara joined the One World Market team as a Sales Associate in October 2016. She has spent her life in Durham, with the exception of attending NC State for her bachelor's degree in Human Biology. There, she served as a mentor for Women In Science and Engineering (WISE) - an organization that ignited her passion for feminism, inclusiveness, and social justice. Cara has also logged many hours as a science educator in the community. One of her favorite aspects of her job at One World Market is teaching customers about artisans and what it means to be fair- trade. When she's not focused on making the perfect sidewalk sign for the shop, Cara can be found taking photos of her pet rabbit. Or, perhaps more likely, you'll find her at the river crouching excitedly over a rock or mushroom.
Diana began volunteering at One World Market in 2013 and was excited to join the staff as Sales Associate in 2016. She is also an educator, traveler, adventurer, and dreamer. During several humanitarian trips to Kenya and Uganda, Diana saw first hand the positive impacts that Fair Trade can have on artisans around the world.

The Biblical scenes most represented inside the Roman Catacombs
Fabrizio BiscontiArchaeological Director, Catacombs of Rome"The art of the catacombs is very simple from the technical and formal point of view, but with very significant content. It shows how the first Christians represented the history of the Salvation with scenes from the Old and New Testaments, as well as other scenes and symbols that explain how to get to heaven."In Rome there are between 50 and 60 catacombs. It consists of miles and miles of underground excavations, where the early Christians buried their dead. Contrary to popular belief, they were only cemeteries and not used as hiding places. Throughout the catacombs are thousands of paintings with scenes from the Old and New Testaments.The most repeated scene is that of Moses striking a rock with a stick, symbolizing faith in God. Which is followed by representations from the life of Jonah, meant to represent the Resurrection, and finally the miracle of the resurrection of Lazarus.However, in the tombs of these early Christians, the art is not only representations from religion. Fabrizio BiscontiPontifical Commission for Sacred Archaeology"Also appearing are images of traders, the professions of the deceased. They were barrel-makers, butchers, gardeners, people with normal jobs, living among the pagans. As Tertullian says, they go to the same butcher and the same ports, but they are Christians and therefore, he says, they have more than others, they are more spiritually sensitive, more inspired."The archaeologist Bisconti has published the book "The paintings of the Roman catacombs," where he ranks all of the underground paintings, and shows how the restoration work returns this art to its former glory. His book provides a detailed look into the life and death of early Christians. JMB/AEFF-JM-PR


text: Hey guys, We took delivery of a new Deere 325 skid loader today upgrading from our Deere 250 Series 2 in our rental fleet, I jumped in it for a ride and noticed I had to nearly bury the throttle to get any decent ground speed. I immediately told the paper pushing salesman the thing was waaay slower than our 250, He said I didn't have it wide open is why. Well, We never had to run the 250 wide open to get any ground speed ? The 250 is rated 6.8 mph, The 325 is rated at 7.0 mph. My boss got in the 325 and got me in the 250, He told me to drive it like I stole it. We started side by side and after 2 circles around the parking lot I was fixing to lap him, This was with the smooth talking salesman standing there watching. Boss isn't happy about having to run the thing wide open but took it anyway. My question to you guys is; Do you have to run your equipment wide open to get any kind of ground speed or to make it productive ? I just have this feeling some of my regular contractors are going to find this new unit less productive and cost more in rental time. Thanks

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- So far in 2014, the Dow Jones Industrial Average
First we look at the theoretical distribution provided by a probability tree, in which each successive day has an equal 50% chance of either branching up or branching down. Then, for a specific tree path over the first seven days, a red value was given to indicate a down day, while a green value was given for an up day. For more on combinatorics, see this note.
We see that the first trading day for 2014 was down. And this had a 50% theoretical chance of happening. Then the second trading day was up, and so we end that day with a score of one down day out of two days. This score too has a 50% chance as shown (e.g., there is another 25% chance we'd instead have two up days in a row, and a 25% chance to instead have two down days in a row). Through this morning, Jan. 13, we've collected five down days out of seven trading days. We see on the tree above, that this outcome had a 16% chance of occurring. We also see that the probability of having five or more down days, out of seven trading days, is slightly larger at 23% (or ~16%+5%+1%).
A different interpretation of this 23% chance is that over the 14 years prior to this one, three of them (23%*14) should have also had at least 5 down days out of the first 7 trading days. And empirically this is true: 2001, 2005, 2009. That's some company.
But these probabilities were again derived assuming a fair 50% chance for either an up day or a down day. That indicates a close to trendless market, which lacks general direction, even though we technically understand that, over the long run, markets offer a slight upward trend. What would have been the probability of seeing five drops out of seven trading days, if we instead had assumed different up-day probabilities, ranging from 25%, to 75%? We see in the chart below, that as our assumption for the daily chance for an up day increases, the probability of having five drops (out of seven trading days) falls well below our 16% baseline.
Put differently, having five drops out of seven is less probable (from 16% to 6%) if we switch from assuming a fair 50% up-day probability to a slight up streak characterized by 60% up-day probabilities. Conversely, as the daily chance for an up day decreases, the probability of having five drops (out of seven trading days) rises well above our 16% baseline.
Let's then use our assumed probability for an up day to better explore our likelihood of outcome. We know that the chance that we are in a general phase that is far from "fair" (i.e., normal 50% probability of an up day) decreases the farther away the up-day probability is from 50%. Being in a strong up streak (e.g., 75% up-day probability) or in a strong down streak (e.g., 25% probability of an up day) for extended periods is simply not as likely versus being in a phase closer to a 50% up-day probability.

"My friend went to the Edgeware ..."
About: Barnet Hospital Barnet Hospital Barnet EN5 3DJ
Posted by Steve (as ),
What I liked
My friend went to the Edgeware Walk-In centre at 7 pm las night. They were unable to give her any treatment and she had to take buses to Barnet A&E where she arrived at 9 pm.
This morning, 11 hours later, she is still waiting for the results of a blood test. Spending a night in an A&E waiting room is NOT a very pleasant experience and so far there is no end in sight for her treatment.
What could be improved
Clearly there are major problems at Barnet and those in charge are apparently totally unable to do anything to solve the problems. It needs to be treated like a failing school and have the management sacked and replaced by known experts.

IPOB: FG Now Planning With Foreigners To Testify Against Me In Court – Kanu
Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra,{ IPOB} Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, on Thursday alleged that the Federal Government was plotting to import foreigners to testify against him in court.
Kanu made the allegation at an Abuja Federal High Court, following a prayer by counsel to the government, Labaran Shuaibu that the justice Binta Nyako-led court should order those testifying against him to wear mask.
Shuaibu explained that the lives of the prosecution witness may be at risk if their identities were not concealed.
But a member of the pro-Biafra legal team, Maxwell Okpara said, ""My lord, we have uncovered their plan to bring Ghanaians and people from Cameroon to appear in this court to testify against the defendants.
"We as Nigerians will resist that plot. It cannot work. That is why they are insisting that they should testify behind screen. That plot has failed, it will not work."
Kanu, alongside three other accused persons, Chidiebere Onwudiwe, David Nwawuisi, Benjamin Nmadubugwu are currently standing trial before the Justice Binta Nyako-led court for charges bordering on terrorism.
After listening to the argument of both legal team, Justice Nyako adjourned the matter to December 13.

IRS Issues Final Rules on Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
The Service issued final regulations under Sec. 409A that apply starting in 2008 and may be applied retroactively. All deferred-compensation arrangements must be in writing and in compliance by Dec. 31, 2007.
July 2007
from The Tax Adviser
The Service issued final regulations on nonqualified deferred-compensation arrangements under Sec. 409A (TD 9321, 4/10/07). These rules generally follow the proposed regulations (REG-158080-04, 10/4/05), but provide additional guidance and clarify many key issues, including:
The final regulations were effective April 17, 2007, but generally apply starting in 2008 and may be applied retroactively. All deferred-compensation arrangements must be in writing and in compliance with Sec. 409A by Dec. 31, 2007. Plans are not required to be amended retroactively to cover the period from the Jan. 1, 2005 effective date of Sec. 409A through the end of the transition period, but must show operational compliance with the rules during that time.
Additional separate guidance is expected to address the prohibition on offshore funding and springing trusts, application of the rules to partnership arrangements, and income calculation and inclusions, none of which is covered in the final regulations.

Hello Trazers! Greetings from a member of Trazy Crew. Last time, I tried skiing (for the first time in my life) at Phoenix Park, which was crazy fun, and now it has become one of my favorite outdoor activities.
But I found out that young and hip Koreans are hooked on more "trendy" sports like snowboarding nowadays. So I headed to Vivaldi Park, or Daemyung Vivaldi Park, which is a ski resort very popular among Koreans in their 20s.
And based on my (100% real) experience, here I bring you some handy travel tips and advice that you should know before you go skiing or snowboarding to Vivaldi Park in South Korea. 🙂
1. Don't figure out your way to the resort by yourself
Just like the last time when I visited Phoenix Park, I joined a one-day tour because I found it very, very convenient. You may want to read about my skiing experience at Phoenix Park here as well.
I've done both independent travel and package tours, but I personally prefer tour packages over independent travel as these tour packages are the easiest and the most time-efficient way to go on a ski trip.
And thank god, I didn't have to go through the hassle of figuring out my way to the ski resort, such as comparing the prices and so many more things that I have to deal with when planning a ski holiday!
Seriously, these ski tour packages saved my time (and will save yours, too). For more info about the tour, click here.When you book your trip, take note that there are different options for you to enjoy: Ski, Ski Lesson and Snowboard. I chose the Snowboard option since I already tried skiing last time at Phoenix Park. Pick whichever you'd like to try this winter – all of them are fun!
Check out what's included in the tour package:
- round-trip transportation
- ski lift pass (for both lift & gondola)
- equipment & clothing rental (jacket, pants and gloves)
- English speaking staff (they will help you with anything you need!)
*Helmets and goggles are available for rent on site for an additional 5,000 KRW. For more info, click here.
2. Pick the less crowded days
When I arrived at Vivaldi Park, I saw the ski resort was bustling with people (even though I visited on Friday) so it took a while for clothing rental. It may also be because Vivaldi Park is a very popular destination for skiing and snowboarding.The clothing must be returned to the rental shop by 3:30 pm, so when you consider that and the amount of time you have to enjoy the slopes (and possible delays due to long queues and such), it's a good idea to go on a day other than Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
Personally, I would advise you steer clear of the weekends and stick to going on a weekday if you want to avoid the crowd.
3. Use the changing room in the equipment rental area
If you decide to go alone, use the changing room in the ski/snowboard equipment rental area (located across from the building where you rent ski clothes).
Personally, I don't recommend the changing room near the ski clothes rental area at Vivaldi Park inconvenient because there were no separate sections to change the clothes, which means you will have to change with all the female visitors at the resort.
But you don't need to worry if you take the tour package because you will first drop by a rental shop near the ski resort to change into your ski/snowboard clothes and then head to the resort. The changing rooms are not super upscale, but at least you won't have to rush at this place.
4. Take a lesson if you are a complete beginner
For me, I headed right away as soon as I was geared up, which was around 12:30 pm If you choose the Ski Lesson option, you will have the chance to learn basic skills for 2 hours.
If you're a complete beginner, I highly recommend you choose the lesson option especially since snowboarding is a lot more difficult. Since my friend knew how to snowboard, she taught me a few basics but I do wish I'd signed up for a private lesson to help me get a hang of it more quickly.The 1-day package doesn't include a snowboarding lesson option, but you can book a private lesson separately here, where you'll learn all the basics in detail. But if you are an expert, then go straight to the slopes!
5. Don't miss out on the eateries!
I think Vivaldi Park is a ski resort where the food's as good as the slopes, and you don't want to miss a thing here.
Not only you can find food trucks, a food court, restaurants, cafes and food stalls at the Main Center building, there is also a separate underground complex called Viva Plex (near the entrance of the Main Center) where you can find various dining places that offer more than casual eateries.So even though lunch meal is not provided in the tour packages, there is something for everyone at Vivaldi Park and I personally prefer them without a lunch meal since you will want to try every treat and food offered here.
6. Take advantage of the lift pass
If you're not that into skiing or snowboarding, I strongly recommend you to use the lift pass and try riding the gondola up to peak, which offers an amazing panoramic view of the entire resort and the surrounding winter landscapes. The 8-seater gondola takes you up to the peak about 7 minutes and what more can I say? Try and see them for yourself!
7. Choose the right slopes for your level
Vivaldi Park has 12 slopes in total – 2 for beginners, 5 for intermediate to upper-intermediate, 4 for advanced and 1 for the experts. If you are a beginner, go for the Blues and Ballad courses. The Blues slope has very slight inclines, making it perfect for complete beginners (like me) to practice on.
In contrast, the Ballad slope has a few steep inclines but they aren't super intimidating. However, I was too terrified to even attempt snowboarding down it so I just went down the Blues slope twice. But my friend who was also a beginner attempted it though!
8. Spark your romance!
Last but not least, Vivaldi Park was featured in some of the scenes from the latest Korean drama called "The Legend of the Blue Sea (SBS)", starring by famous Korean actor and actress, Jun Ji-hyun (Sim Chung) and Lee Min-ho (Heo Joon-jae). In Episode 6, Sim Chung asks Heo Joon-jae to take her somewhere with snow and the two enjoy skiing on the slopes at the resort!
Being the most visited ski resort for 7 years, Vivaldi has become even more popular after it appeared on the screen.
Whether you are K-drama enthusiast or not, the snowy slopes and sceneries in and around Vivaldi Park is the perfect spot to turn up the heat on your romance.
Did you get some ideas on how to plan your trip to Vivaldi Park? Then, now is the time to start planning! When you are planning, do take these tips and advice in this post.
Or book your trip here immediately if you want to have the time of your life this winter in Korea!

NEW YORK, May 19 (Reuters) - AT&T Inc's proposed acquisition of DirecTV will give the U.S. wireless provider a foothold in Latin America, a region that offers major growth potential in pay television and mobile broadband.
DirecTV, with its 18 million subscribers in Central and South America, is the biggest pay TV provider in Latin America where the market for such services is already growing at a much faster rate than the mature U.S. market.
DirecTV is "advantaged when compared with cable and telco in Latin America," AT&T said in a press release announcing its $48.5 billion proposal on Sunday. "Latin America has an under-penetrated pay TV market, about 40 percent of households subscribe to pay TV, and a growing middle class, and is DirecTV's fastest-growing customer segment."
Underscoring the importance of Latin America to the logic of the deal, AT&T said it would part with its $5 billion stake in billionaire Carlos Slim's America Movil to smooth the regulatory process and win DirecTV's business in the region.
DirecTV's Latin American operations have been considered its crown jewels for the past few years, accounting for 95 percent of its subscriber growth, but just 20 percent of its revenues.
DirecTV expects revenue to be in the $8 billion to $9 billion range, down from a prior forecast of $10 billion by 2016.
DirecTV owns about 93 percent of Sky Brasil, the largest satellite provider in the region's biggest economy. It has 41 percent of Sky Mexico, controlled by Mexico's Televisa and serving Mexico, Central America and the Dominican Republic.
It owns 100 percent of PanAmericana, which offers satellite TV services under the DirecTV brand in countries including Venezuela, Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Puerto Rico.
In December, DirecTV said it had an annual compound growth rate of 22 percent in Argentina, 16 percent in Venezuela and about 32 percent in the other countries served by PanAmericana, such as Colombia and Chile.
The combined AT&T-DirecTV might also take advantage of acquisition opportunities that DirecTV could not make on its own.
In 2013, DirecTV was looking to buy Vivendi's GVT, which provides Internet, phone and TV services in 149 Brazilian cities. The talks unraveled because France's Vivendi said the bids it received were too low.
One asset that analysts have mentioned as a potential takeover opportunity is TIM Participacoes, a cellular service provider that Telecom Italia is widely expected to sell in 2014. That could give AT&T an opportunity to accelerate DirecTV's roll-out of high-speed wireless Internet in Brazil and would give the company access to TIM Brasil's 73 million customers.
Some countries in Latin American however, present smaller growth opportunities and formidable economic hurdles.
Currency fluctuations and inflation are growing problems in the region. The Argentine peso has declined 24 percent year-over-year, while threats of political instability loom over DirecTV's business in Venezuela, where it is the No.1 TV provider with a 43 percent market share.
With the currency depreciation in Venezuela and Argentina, average revenue per subscriber, or ARPU, for DirecTV's PanAmericana in the first quarter fell to $41.23 from $46.54 a year earlier. In Brazil, where Sky Brasil has about a 30 percent market share, the real has also weakened.
Revenue per subscriber in the United States, meanwhile, climbed to $100.16 in the first quarter from $96.05 a year earlier.
In February, MoffettNathanson Research analyst Craig Moffett said higher churn, lower revenue per subscriber and higher subscriber acquisition costs in the first quarter were troubling DirecTV's Latin American business. Even so, he said much of the decline reflected currency shifts rather than deteriorating fundamentals.
In Latin America, "penetration is still low, incomes are rising and DirecTV's brand is very, very strong," Moffett added.
In the United States, DirecTV provides only television services. But in Latin America, the company has slowly ventured into the wireless broadband market, where weak infrastructure has hampered adoption of competing high-speed Internet services.
The company has airwave holdings that cover 43 million households across Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru. It aims to provide Internet services to more than 5 million homes in those countries by the end of 2014, according to its website.
AT&T has extensive experience in acquiring and building wireless spectrum into cellular networks, and Latin America provides ample opportunities for further growth in Internet services. Broadband penetration in Brazil, for example, is only 33 percent, according to BTIG Research.
"DirecTV has been very conservative in their Latam approach. There is an opportunity for a new owner to exploit more growth, particularly in wireless broadband where they have seen initial success," said BTIG analyst Walt Piecyk.

My good friend used to tell stories of something he referred to as the "Unalive."
"Isn't that just like vampires or zombies or somethin'?" everyone in our troop in the army used to ask, "Or just a regular dead person?"
We all knew the story by that time, I think, but we never really got tired of hearing it again. It passed the long, sweltering nights and gave us something to think about besides the bleak situation at hand.
"Course not!" he responded to our queries each time, "That's the undead, idiots, and they don't even exist!"
And without fail, someone would reply, "Well if you're so smart, Jack, why don't you tell us about the unalive?
I remember Jack looking almost wraith like in the orange glow of our campfire. He was older than the rest of us, and it was showing in his greying beard and tired eyes that had seen too much in their time. He would wait for us to settle in; uncomfortably warm around the fire but unwilling to leave the illumination it provided. And Jack would begin.
"My grandfather fought in WWII. He went missing in action long before I was born. Or at least that's what the official reports said. I don't think they really knew how to explain what happened and they didn't want to go through the trouble of trying. 'Course his friends told my father what they had all seen, and my father in turn told me when I was old enough. Warned me."
"As soldiers, it's pretty much in our line of duty to kill. We pretend like it isn't sometimes, and I don't think any of us really like that fact, but that's how it is. Doesn't matter if we went willingly or were pulled from our homes to come fight, we've got to protect our country now. But sometimes aiming and pulling the trigger isn't the end of it."
"Sometimes these people that we're forced to kill have an entire life waiting for them. Fate, I guess you could call it. Destiny, maybe. Had you not cut their lives short, they may have had a family, held an important job. The unalive are a product of that. Little ones who were meant to be born, who God or the cosmos or fate, whatever you want to call it, had a whole life planned out for them. The unalive are sort of like ghosts, I suppose, not dead, but not alive, either, but definitely real and wanting to make their presence known. They might be created if a young mother has an abortion, if someone young commits suicide without the thought that everything will straighten out soon, and yes, when someone who would one day have become a parent is killed."
"It doesn't happen every time, and I guess nobody knows why. Perhaps some not-yet-people are more persistent than others. Or perhaps they can't find a way to wherever those who never will be are meant to go. Either way, the phenomenon is more common than one may think."
"Despite being young souls, it seems they already know how to hold a grudge. They go straight for the one who caused their predicament. The person who bullied and tormented their future father into swallowing poison, the man that left his pregnant girlfriend with no hope and no source of income, leaving abortion as an only option. The unalive seem to know who is to blame, and they exact revenge for themselves and for their parents. I suppose you're wondering what my grandfather has to do with all this, but I'm getting there. "
"My grandfather had never killed, never even injured someone too severely, until the day a gun was pulled on his traveling companion. He showed no mercy and no fear. He left the other man lying in the dust. He was shaken by it after the fact, though. He was quite the shot, and hit the man directly in the head. It wasn't a pretty sight; I'll just leave it at that. When my grandfather fell asleep in his bunk that night, he dreamed of killing again, in incredible detail. He felt the sun hitting his neck, the kick of the gun as it fired. Some object flew through the air on impact, but he snapped awake with adrenaline coursing through his body before he could tell what it was."
"Every night for a week he had this dream. He began to sleep less and less, and when he did he woke up the rest of the bunk screaming. Everyone was beginning to worry for his health. He was pale and frail looking, a shadow of the man that had completed training with them. His mind was constantly elsewhere. Every night at about the same time he snapped awake in a cold sweat and lay staring at the ceiling until everyone else rose."
"One night he had no more than drifted off when he heard the sound of an infant wailing. He sat bolt upright, unsure of what to think. He lay still for a moment listening, and then jabbed the person nearest to him until they woke up, swearing and threatening to murder him." "The room dropped dead silent as soon as the other man was awake. He assured my grandfather that he was dreaming, and then rolled over and fell back asleep. "
"Every time he was alone after that, He would hear the cries of an infant, though he was never able to find one. He and every one he confided in began to fear for his sanity, though he made them swear to everything dear to them they wouldn't tell anyone in authority."
"A few weeks after everything had begun, his sleep was interrupted once again by the dream. Only this time, after the gun had been fired he got a chance to look at the object he had seen in his peripheral vision in so many dreams. And he screamed. And screamed. It took a man wrapping his arms around him and holding him like a child to make him stop, and it was hours before he stopped trembling enough to explain what had upset him so badly."
"Apparently, his dream had been playing out as usual until the shot fired. The object that had always fallen just out of sight landed at his feet. It was the infant, he was sure the same one he had heard crying for several days now. He had put a bullet straight through its head, in the same spot he had shot the man several weeks ago. Despite this, the baby stared directly into his eyes, never stopping its wailing. It was not the cry of a typical injured child, but angrier, somehow. It grabbed at a handful of roots on the ground and began pulling its self forwards towards him. It seemed unfazed by wounds that would have killed any grown man."
"Grandpa could not be consoled. He insisted again and again that he had been murdering the child night after night, and he expected that he would continue to do so, forced on by his subconscious. He begged for someone, anyone, to put him out of his misery, but nobody would."
"Next day it was decided that he was no longer fit for duty and would be shipped home and given psychiatric help as soon as possible. Everyone was rather upset about it, my grandfather was a hard working and well liked man, and people were sad to see him go."
"That night was the worst. He had been put in a tent by himself to avoid keeping awake the other men. He was to be taken away in the morning. His tent was close enough, however, to hear him crying out for help and screaming as soon as darkness fell. The other men were under strict orders not to leave the tent and not to bother him, and so his cries went unanswered. This went on until just about midnight. Abruptly, his screams grew louder, more frantic. A sound as if he were thrashing against the canvas walls of the tent was heard, and then silence. Not even the night animals dared make a sound. Needless to say, nobody went back to sleep that night."
"The next morning, they found the tent he had been sleeping in half torn apart. There were marks in the muck surrounding it as if there had been some sort of large struggle, and then marks as if something large had been dragged through the mud. These ended abruptly in the middle of a field with no indication of tracks leading to or away from where the object should be. The only sign that there had been any life there that night was what could have been animal tracks around the tent. But the people who were witness? They say it was the perfect imprint of a tiny little human hand. And though a search party combed the area, no sign of anyone or anything ever turned up."
As Jack ended the story, a dead silence always fell over me and the other men around the campfire. A group of grown men struck dumb with fear like little kids. I don't know about the other men, but the story has stuck with me long after it was last told. Every time we set out walking, guns strapped to our backs I gave a silent prayer that I would never have to shoot. I don't want to make the mistake of taking a life before it even begins. I don't even know how true the story may be, though Jack seems unshakably convinced that every word is fact.
I believed, well, still believe, that there are certainly fates worse than death. Maybe Jack's grandfather knows that, maybe better than all of us.
I, for one, don't care to find out.

<Time x Age> - Sep2012 - May2013
Self-directed Study as a graphic design student in UWE, Bristol
This is a final-year project as a graphic design student in UWE, Bristol. The aim of my project is to encourage people to treasure their time by studying the relationship between time and age. People always say older
people may experience more in their life and have a stronger feeling of time, such as the changes of city,
culture and lifestyle in the process of aging. Therefore, I want to focus on documenting the experiences and
stories of older people and find out how people of different ages think of time and age. In response to
ageing, I aim to collect people's feeling of time and age, and use "photos" as a medium to relate the
changes of time. It helps to remind people that time is invisible and allows them to reflect on their own life by
understanding more about old people's feelings and stories.
Laser-cut Box-set with following works
Posters of etching works on eye
Publication of etching works on eyes telling time and age
Publication of Story of older people <Your Story>
Publication of Process of etching <Process of etching>
Video of process of etching
Video of street interview in Bath
Video of street interview in different cities, London, Brighton, Bristol and Bath
Video of formal interview with older people in St Monica's House
Followings are the product by photography
Why photography?
After doing a lot of primary research on older people by doing interviews
and getting along with them, I will keep on recording the progress by taking
photos, sound recordings, and trying to collect things they love. I want
to do something with greater impact instead of just a booklet recording
stories of older people. Looking back to the day of my first tutorial, I recalled
a series of photographic works called "Family Affair" done by an Austria
photographer, Pilo Pichler. His works achieve physical, emotional, spiritual
and energetic levels that inspire me a lot. Therefore, I choose to make use
of photography hoping to respond to what I have experienced instead of just
taking photos during the interviews.
What I want to do is to ask people to pick an old photo of themselves that
they really like, then share the story of the photo, and finally take a photo of
them with the picture.
How will I present the idea?
I will present my works with the use of different
media, for the interviews with older people in St.
Monica Trust. I will do documentary photography.
When preparing for photography work of older
people, in October, I asked for advice from
the instructor in the Photography department ,
Frank, and told him about my ambition of doing
photography. Since I wanted to set up an indoor
studio, he suggested I attend the workshop, location
photography, held for photography students.
The materials for photography, including lighting,
backdrop, tripods and the camera itself, are very
heavy so I could not take them alone. Without a car
to transport the materials, I have to ask for help to
take the material to St. Monica's Will House, which
is around twenty minutes from Coronation Road.
Location and setting
There are so many things to take in to consideration when choosing
a location. In this case, regarding to the problem of mobility
of the older people, I would choose the indoor location that older
people live. I prefer St. Monica Trust because of several reasons:
I have attended the discussion group regularly and I know some
older people who is welcoming me to visit.
Although it is an indoor area, there are a lot of rooms like, hairdressing,
activities room, common room, gym, swimming pool,
and roof garden.
There is natural light spreading in the common area of the building,
I could also choose the area out of the room to get natural
sunlight which makes the picture more natural.
Thank You!

Light Pumpkin Pie Blizzard
As much as I love pumpkin (and am nowhere near getting tired of eating it), I figured the blog world is a little burnt out on pumpkin. I figured I wouldn't even post this, but last night's post-workout treat was too delicious not to share.
Who doesn't like DQ's Pumpkin Pie Blizzard? My husband introduced me to them and I fell in love – but haven't had a second one since I saw the MINI size (6 oz) has 370 calories, 14 grams of fat (10 saturated) and 43 grams of sugar (55 total carbs).
I knew I could do better than that.
Blend all ingredients except the animal crackers in a Magic Bullet.
We all know that the pie pieces mixed in are what truly makes the blizzard – otherwise it's just pumpkin flavored soft serve! So I "bulleted" 4 animal crackers to make my own "pie pieces."
Some of my favorite Sweet Cranberry Pecan Love Grown made the whole thing complete.
My version (approximately 8 oz): 225 calories, 6 grams fat, 40 grams total carb, 13 grams protein.

|Book Review - Java and XML mentions Apache
|Tue, 16 Oct 2001 12:44:21 GMT
Hi folks, Here is a book review I wrote about the recent book by Wrox Press titled "Java and XML". It mentions Apache a lot so I thought you may like to read my review here. If you feel it is innappropriate material for this list then feel free to email me and I wont do it again. Likewise if you have any positive or constructive criticism of my review please give me feedback. (I wont cross post to email@example.com since I bet most of the readers there read this too) My basic summary is that if you absolutely need a printout of the Xerces / Xalan API then this might be useful. --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Java XML from WROX review by Alex McLintock ISBN 1 861005-20-2 First Published July 2001 This book is a reference work for Java programmers who wish to use one or more of the many new XML tools available. This presents me instantly with two main problems. As a reference work it is very difficult to review without using the book in real work for several months. The second big problem is that the book is split up into different chapters for different software producer's tools. For instance if I were using the Oracle XML tools it would be extremely unlikely that I would also be using the Apache tools. Of course you are unlikely to be using the Oracle tools unless you have bought Oracle. Near the beginning is a fairly extensive reference work describing the SAX and DOM interfaces for reading XML files as event streams, or document trees. There are examples but this doesn't really work as a tutorial. I would expect that if you had no idea what a SAX parser was then you might have a bit of trouble, There is a chapter on JAXP1.1 . This is a bit new to me and something which I need to look into some more. JAXP1.1 is described as a standardised superset of DOM and SAX. That isn't much use if you are happy using SAX or DOM, but the idea of componentizing the xml parser is a good one. However the real interesting thing for me is TrAX which is an api for transforming XML. XSLT is all very well and good, but it is too difficult to understand and write properly, and too slow. Chapter Six is about JDOM. Funnily enough this is the chapter I expect to be the most useful. Whereas DOM is good for parsing a whole XML document into a Java tree, JDOM is good for producing XML trees from within Java. Due to the beta nature of the API the editors have decided to only include JDOM Examples. Excellent. Chapter 8 looks at some of the Apache XML tools - some being the operative word. Sure we have Xerces parser, and Xalan for doing XSLT stylesheet translation, and the SOAP but there is only a cursory look at FOP (for producing PDF or other page outputs), or Batik for SVG. The IBM Web Services chapter is all about their SOAP system for providing software services through a web type interface. I see it as a kind of Uber-Corba which provides a (hopefully) simpler way of interprocess communication across diverse networks. It also demonstrates how Open Source software can work well within a commercial corporation because the webservices toolkit includes Apache SOAP. Interestingly there is some discussion of IBM's open source UDDI4J being moved under the Apache umbrella. This seems to be quite popular so perhaps I should be looking more into it. I was very intrigued by Chapter 11 which looks at low footprint xml tools for use on internet appliances, PDAs, and other environments with limited memory, or other limitations. You might be interested in this chapter if you are writing applets for instance. If it seems like I am skimming over chapters 12 to 16 that is true. They are written by one author (except for lucky 13) and follow one example through different stages of a big project: Configuration (Ch12), Storing and Retrieving XML (Ch 14), Transmitting XML (Ch 15), Transforming and Presenting XML (Ch 16). I don't really know how useful this will be though. It uses particular tools, and like an example, doesn't explore all possible choices. Overall, an interesting reference work for people who need to manipulate XML in Java, but if you like using the online manuals then you may wish to save your money. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLUG: Warning.

MOBILE, Ala. — Five years ago Sunday, New Orleans Saints director of college scouting Rick Reiprish was sitting on the front row at the Senior Bowl weigh-ins, accepting the congratulations of his peers from around the NFL after the Saints had reached the Super Bowl the night before.
For the hundreds of personnel people around the league who labor in anonymity, there's no better place to be than here on that day.
Tuesday morning, Reiprish wasn't too far from that same front-row seat, probably anxious to talk to General Manager Mickey Loomis about the team's director of player personnel post, which he had publicly expressed a desire for the night before.
But by Tuesday afternoon, Reiprish was out of a job, fired after 11 years with the club — ostensibly to make room for former Miami Dolphins General Manager Jeff Ireland.
Reiprish expressed genuine surprise at his dismissal although, after 35 years in the NFL, one would think his radar would have been a little more attuned — especially after Loomis' vow for a top-to-bottom review of the Saints' entire football operation following the team's 7-9 record in a season when many predicted a Super Bowl.
No matter.
In a few hours, he went from hopeful of a promotion to one of "those guys" you see here this week — the unemployed, often through no fault of their own, talking up old acquaintances and introducing themselves to those they don't know in hopes of getting back on the fast-moving carousel that eventually throws just about everyone.
Kansas City coach Andy Reid tells the tale of how, when he was first hired as coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, he made the mistake of attending practice here and found himself having to fend off people who wanted to stuff résumés in his pocket.
Reiprish shouldn't remain in limbo for long. He probably could have circled the field at Fairhope High School, where the South team was practicing, and gotten a couple of job offers.
"That's a tough one," Atlanta Falcons General Manager Thomas Dimitroff said when hearing of Reiprish's firing. "This is a difficult profession, and scouting is difficult."
It would be easy to say last year's draft disappointments made Reiprish a scapegoat.
Lower-round picks usually are the product of scouting department recommendations, and Khairi Fortt (waived at midseason), Ronald Powell (basically special teams only) and Tavon Rooks (practice squad and not resigned) do not reflect well on that judgment. And there has to be shared responsibility for second-round nonentity Stanley Jean-Baptiste.
But one bad draft, which can't be fully evaluated for another year or two, doesn't get you fired. Or at least it shouldn't.
The Saints are going through a serious look at themselves — the kind of players they want, how they're coached and how they are held accountable. That goes for the staff as well.
We've already seen the firing of three assistants and the return of former assistant Dennis Allen with the mysterious "senior defensive role" designation. (In other words, keep an eye over your shoulder, Rob Ryan.)
With Ireland undoubtedly wanting to bring in some of his own people, it follows that other heads will roll.
And the team has yet to announce how it will replace Ryan Pace, for whom the director of player personnel spot was created and just two years later became general manager of the Chicago Bears.
With Loomis in his post since 2002, the Saints' personnel department has been a predictably stable one.
The average tenure of the Saints' scouting department this season was 8.8 years. That's a long time in a not-for-long league.
That kind of continuity, Reiprish pointed out before the axe fell, keeps everyone on the same page.
But he added — not for attribution, although it doesn't matter now — when asked about the need to keep things fresh, "What's wrong doing the same thing over and over if you're successful? If you're having problems and you're not being successful, then you do the evaluations."
Right there, Reiprish foretold his own exit.
Since the Super Bowl, the Saints' draft has produced two Pro Bowlers: Jimmy Graham and Cameron Jordan. (Third alternate Mark Ingram doesn't count.) There are no starters from the fourth round or lower.
It's not fair to accuse Reiprish and his staff of the kind of complacency arrogance produces. And even if there was, it was no worse than in other areas of the team's operations.
Remember Bountygate?
It's why five years after that fun, fun day here after an even more fun, fun night in New Orleans, the Saints haven't been back to the Super Bowl.
A good man lost his job Tuesday. Others likely will as well.
"When things go wrong, it's not fun," Dimitroff said. "(But) we're all subject to change."
Even if we don't see it coming.
