What's the difference between fostering and adoption?
Adoption means taking a child into your home permanently and legally as part of your family. Fostering usually means a temporary home; however there are similarities between adoption and long-term fostering. The differences are mainly to do with the legal status of the child. Fostered children also usually maintain some form of contact with their birth families. If you would like to find out more about adoption please click here.
How long does the process take to become a foster carer?
The process of becoming a foster carer takes applicants through a number of stages. Once you have completed fostering preparation training, it usually takes about six months to complete the family assessment and present it to the fostering panel for consideration.
What about my partner and children?
Fostering involves the whole family. We would expect you to have discussed your wish to foster with all members of your household, including children. Everyone's views and feelings are important in relation to having a fostered child living with them. Your own children would be included in the approval process too, as they are an important part of the foster family. If you have a partner living with you, your fostering social worker will need to assess him or her as well as you. Your partner will also need to take part in the fostering preparation course.
Can I foster with you if I do not live in Peterborough?
Yes. We welcome applications from those living outside Peterborough but within reasonable travelling distance. Applicants will need to travel to Peterborough for training and meetings.
What time will I have for myself?
Fostering can take a lot out of you and there will be times when you will need to "recharge your batteries". On these occasions assessed friends and family can be of great benefit and we can also help by providing respite and day care when needed. If you are fostering short-term you can also take breaks between placements if you wish.
Can I afford to foster?
You will receive a weekly payment for each child in your care. This allowance varies according to the age of the child and covers the costs of food and clothing, household items, personal care and travel costs. It is re assessed every year. Extra payments are made on the child's birthday and at Christmas as well as two weeks extra holiday payment. We have a career structure for those foster carers whose wish to make it their main job and source of income. Carers are paid an allowance depending on the age of the child and a fostering fee which is based on a banding system depending on your skills, knowledge and abilities. As you gain more experience it is possible to move through the banding levels.
Do I get a choice about which child comes to live with me?
Yes, before you are approved, we will have spent a long time helping you to decide which age and type of child would fit into your home. Some carers specialise in looking after disabled children or babies and toddlers whereas others choose to foster school-age or teenage children. Some carers decide that only boys or only girls will fit into their household while some who are more experienced prefer dealing and supporting children who display challenging behaviour. Whenever we ask you to foster a child, we give you all of the information we have about that child – their history and behaviour and so on. We let you make up your own mind whether or not to take them. We would not ask you to foster a child whose behaviour we thought you would find too difficult to handle. We make every attempt to match children to a carer of the same race and cultural background. When it is not possible to provide the ideal match, we might ask you to look after children from a different background to your own.
Do I need a spare room?
As a rule yes because it's important the child has a space of their own (or one they can share with their brother or sister). However, if you provide day care or look after very young babies then it may not always be necessary. We would not expect your children to give up their room to allow you to foster (even those away at university).
Can I foster more than one child?
We are always looking for carers who will enable us to keep brothers and sisters together. In some circumstances brothers and sisters can share a bedroom (if this is appropriate). The number children you can care for is set out in your 'approval' decision, based on your circumstances and experience. The maximum number of children any foster carer can care for is three (unless special permission is granted).
Can I work full-time and still foster?
Yes but it depends on the type of fostering you want to do. Some foster carers provide respite or short breaks and still work. If you want to foster full time then at least one carer in your household should be available all the time.
How do I find out more information?
Come to one of our regular information evenings where you can talk to current foster carers, staff from the fostering team and wider children's service. The 'no obligation' evenings are designed to answer as many of your questions as we can and give you some more information to help you decide if you want to take the next step. View upcoming events.

Roxborough explores strategies for preserving historic properties
When Roxborough's Dearnley Mansion was lost to development in 2005, it became a rallying point for those who wished to see Roxborough with a historic district to protect significant and beloved sites in the neighborhood.
Long story short: It didn't happen. So when the Giovannone brothers bought and demolished the former Bunting House at the corner of Ridge and Roxborough avenues, there was little neighbors could do to legally stop it. And as other developers have moved to knock down other older, larger houses to make way for taller, tighter rowhouses, there's been a growing sense of alarm in the community.
From tiny Delmar Street in Ridge Park to wider, leafy Lyceum Avenue in Central Roxborough, older homes on larger pieces of property are giving way to blocks of new houses. Now, the city Planning Commission staff are working with residents and Councilman Curtis Jones Jr.'s office to craft a strategy to get some control of an intense wave of homebuilding.
"Roxborough is not a secret anymore," said Matt Wysong, the Northwest's community planner, who appeared at a public meeting late last week with Planning Commission colleague and zoning specialist Paula Brumbelow. "People know this is a great neighborhood. This neighborhood has the best of what the city and the suburbs have to offer."
Exploring the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay idea
Many Roxborough neighborhoods predated the city's first zoning code, and their uses have not kept up with changing designations over the years, Brumbelow said. They discussed creating a Neighborhood Conservation Overlay within the zoning code to create guidelines for new building, a move that would be done in conjunction with the Fourth District Councilman's office.
As a start, the areas included are roughly bounded by Leverington Avenue, Ridge Avenue, Monastery Avenue and Manayunk Avenue, though not all properties are considered in need of remapping. Other areas could be added later, but Wysong said this area is both outside the existing Ridge Avenue Neighborhood Commercial Area overlay and along the streets with the most already-identified historic buildings.
Helen Mangelsdorf lives on Lyceum Avenue and has watched several houses on her block go down. She said because so many of the demolitions were being done by right, it felt like neighbors were always being taken by surprise. Now, she feels like something could be done.
"We want to quit tearing down these beautiful old houses that make this neighborhood what it is," she said.
Historic district designation
Another approach to preservation is a historic district designation, which could protect beloved or significant properties such as the Bunting House.
On May 29, an informational session will be held discussing formation of a National Historic District including parts of Roxborough and Manayunk. That meeting will be held at 7 p.m. May 29, at Journey's Way, 401 Rector St., and will include presentations by the state Historic and Museum Commission and the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia.
The art of remapping
A third move includes a zoning remapping, to create designations which are more or less dense, to better match them to current or future uses, a process referred to as "upzoning" and "downzoning."
Wysong mentioned some key larger properties, such as the Salvation Army on Pechin Street and the Masonic Temple on Conarroe Street, and why zoning and planning now could head off potential problems with re-use of them.
Wysong said the Planning Commission would likely hold another public meeting over the summer. In September, legislation creating the overlay and remapping several areas could be introduced in City Council, and passed by November.
That's an ambitious timetable, which will involve Planning Commission staff spending a lot of time in the neighborhood in coming weeks collecting data about current zoning designations and uses. The current efforts won't halt demolitions already scheduled or planned to take place before legislation is passed, but feedback from neighbors can help planners make sure other properties are protected.
"Show me what's important to your neighborhood," Brumbelow said. "Over the summer, I want you to get everybody excited about this process."

More Cool Digital Camera Projects
Digital Pinhole Camera
For many of us, our first photo experience was building a pinhole camera out of cardboard. It seemed a miracle that a hole in a piece of paper could create a realistic image of the world. And it's hard not to love the ethereal look and near-infinite depth of field of pinhole photographs.
It's just as easy to build a digital pinhole camera. For digital point-and-shoot owners, the first step is to build a "light box" the same way you would have for filma cardboard cube about 1 foot on each side and painted black on the insideexcept that instead of placing film on the back wall of the box, you make it a white surface (either use white cardboard or paint it white). You'll also need to add a "window" to the box's front where you can attach your camera and take a photo of the image on the back wall. And you need to create the pinhole in the middle of the front of the box, above where you will place the camera. Poking a hole in cardboard isn't accurate; it's better to make a small opening you can cover with aluminum tape and poke a hole in that with a needle. At www.mrpinhole.com you'll find some online calculators to help you decide the exact size of your camera and figure the size of its pinhole.
To use your pinhole camera, aim the pinhole side of the light box at a brightly lit scene. Then wedge your digicam into the window you made for it. Some type of rubber seal may help keep stray light out. Make sure the flash is off and set the focus to Macro, or be sure that the camera is focused close enough to get the back wall of the box in focus. Then take your photo. Because of the long shutter speed required, brace your camera well so it stays still while the image is captured. (With most point-and-shoot cameras, exposure times are automatic, based on the level of light, and with a pinhole camera they can be many seconds long.) Swivel-body cameras, such as the Nikon Coolpix 990, are particularly good for this, since you can aim the lens toward the middle of the back of the box while keeping the camera firmly planted on the ground. With a normal-body camera, you may want to make the window in the box a tiny bit higher than the level of the lens, so that the lens tilts slightly upwards and points toward the center of the back wall of the box.
Turning a digital SLR into a pinhole camera is as simple as making a small but precise hole in a spare body cap (the cover that fits over the lens mount to protect the camera when a lens is not in place). First, drill a fairly large hole, about 0.5 inch, in the cap. Then use aluminum foilor better, aluminum tapefor the precise hole. Poke a tiny hole in the foil with a needle and fasten it over the larger hole while keeping the small hole centered. If you have trouble making a small enough hole, use your pin to create a small bump and then use a piece of fine sandpaper to remove just the top of the bump, leaving a tiny hole.
You can even build a "telephoto" pinhole camera by using a cardboard tube to extend the body cap out from your camera. For best results, anchor the tube to another body cap with a large hole cut in it. The longer focal length will need a slightly larger pinholeuse Mr. Pinhole's calculator to figure out the size.

If a field is deleted and then replaced with a field of the same type, the conditions associated with the original field will be applied to the newlyAsked by Terrib on February 02, 2017 at 04:49 PM
I normally clone forms, rather than reinvent the wheel each time. I built basics, that are standard items we us each time, and then add or delete fields.
Somewhere in your concept of "improving" the forms, when I add a new field, i.e. radio button, it picks up the conditionals from what was in that area previously and messes up all other conditionals.
Example, I have a form for a trip. Names, birthdays, activity selections, i.e. golf, spa, (which have conditionals if you choose golf which course, if you choose spa what treatment.) I clone this form, and for the particular instance, I need to add a radio button with 3 choices for which city they are flying from. I add it, and it picks up golf and spa conditions.
Please fix this.

I am able to reproduce this in my own form. When a field is deleted, the condition associated with that field remains and retains the field ID. Then a new field is added, it is receiving the same field ID as the previous field:

Reindeer Candy Bars
I used these as unique gifts for friends, co-workers and family.
They were easy to assemble, it took some time to cut out the circles.
Use a couple lines to describe your craft project, the ease or difficulty of making it or the fun ways you can use this craft project (i.e., props for wedding photo booth or personal touches to party decor).
*brown and tan construction paper
*white 1/2" circle stickers
*red Pom-poms
*brown pipe cleaners
*black & white or silver marker
*white glue
*glue gun
*candy bars
- Maps (ones you can cut!)
- Scissors
- Pencil, with eraser
- Ruler or straight-edge
- 1 piece cardstock, 8 x 10"
- Yarn or twine, 10-12 feet long
- Hole punch, small
1. Cut brown construction paper into 6x6" squares
2. Cut 3" circles out of beige and then cut them in half for the head piece.
3. Cut 1 1/2" circles for the nose piece
4. Cut brown 1" circles and cut in half for eyelids
5.Wrap brown squares around candy bar and tape it at the back (I used a sticker that said Merry Christmas and my name)
6. Stick on eyes first so you can center the nose and use black marker to make black of eyes
7. Glue on eye lids, then center head and nose beige pieces.
8. Hot glue on red noses
9. Bend the brown pipe cleaners in half then into the shape of antlers, dab a small amount of glue on the bottom of the 'V' and stick the antlers in between the candy bars and the front of the paper
10. Personalize with the white or silver marker
I made 100 of these...personalized them...on th back I stuck a 1x3" sticker that I printed Merry Christmas and put a From: place from ME
1. Use ruler and pencil to draw an isosceles triangle on the cardstock. Cut out the cardstock triangle. You will use this piece as your pattern.
2. Trace the cardstock triangle shape onto one of your maps. Cut the triangle shape out of the map. Use the eraser to clean up pencil lines remaining on the cut-out.
3. Repeat trace, cut and clean. Create at least 20 triangles out of map paper.
4. Use hole punch to make two holes on the short side of each triangle. Punch holes on the same short side for all triangles.
5. Thread yarn through one hole in triangle and out the other. Make sure all triangles have map-side up and to spread triangles evenly across length of yarn.

God as expectant toddler...
As I began to open my eyes slowly, the scene before me took shape. There at the edge of my bed, was my two year old, Sophie Grace. Eyes as wide as the sunrise over the Eastern Sea. Smile beaming brighter than anything filtering through the window. An almost satisfied gasp as she registered that I'd noticed her standing there next to me. As I reach out to her, my arms feel heavy as I've not moved them in hours. But the moment they make contact with hers, energetically clinging to me as if they've awaited this moment for years - it seems she has given my arms new energy. Her spirit floods me to the innermost parts of who I am, and I want nothing more than to draw her close and never let go. Just being together makes so much else fade away. Schedules. Meetings. Events. Debts. Rainy weather. Whatever. I am blessed to hold and be held.
It's a moment I reflect back on, and thank God when he has approached me in a similar way. Times where He's entered my life in new ways, and not "shaken" me or forced my eyes open with any sort of tool. Nevertheless his presence is such an infinitely compelling reason to allow myself to be raised from all types of slumber.
And the joy on God's face, the Happiness of the Spirit when we recognize His presence and reach out for Him....ahh....it is good. Looking forward to more.

Palm Sunday
And in the corner of this picture, we see many of us, setting our palm branches somewhere else.
I think the most popular place to put our palm branches may be our clocks. Our time is precious, and belongs to us. Or maybe our planners. The dates in our notebooks filled with inked in commitments, events, and television shows. Perhaps our palm branches rest comfortably under our wallets. Our financial resources, and the desire for them to grow - sometimes even out of a misguided notion that rightness with God will lead to monetary and material gain. It could even be that our palm branches are directly underneath our own feet. Welcoming ourselves as the ultimate authority and measure of the daily choices we make. Each of us may have something different we are tempted to set our palm branches before.
Today we are reminded that we live in a world FULL of opportunities to commit ourselves to. Places to go. People to serve. Cultural "norms" that aren't thought about much at all.
Today we are challenged to pay attention where our palm branches have been resting. What have we been welcoming into our lives in the way we should be welcoming Christ? What have we been submitting to as an authority? What are our lives oriented around?
May God be with us, as we ask these questions of ourselves...and also of the families many of us are raising/building. What better week to allow God to help us move our palm branches into the path of Jesus, than the final week of Lent? We look forward to the week ahead, to the remembering of the crucifixion, and to the celebrating of something much more than "coming back to life"....

jesus shaped donuts.
To the point where phrases such as "everyone has a Jesus-shaped hole" began to rub me the wrong way. To sum up all that God has done and desires to do in something that so obviously falls short....shiver.
Thankfully, I'm in youth ministry AND a parent. Both things that constantly require to embrace God as a child, and as someone who desperately needs something I can grab hold of in a world that's unstable.
Sure, statements such as "accept Jesus into your heart", and "Jesus-shaped hole" fall short. But then again, so does the latest best seller by NT Wright, Donald Miller, or John Caputo. That's the frustratingly beautiful aspect of the created seeking the creator. It's an eternal endeavor, always out of reach and always compelling us to try anyway. And yes, it's illustrated wonderfully in the topic I've also been spending time chewing on lately - marriage.
"I love my wife." A simple statement that can mean anything from how I love her smile, to a deeply symbolic statement about how I appreciate the fact that we're growing old and building a legacy together.
I think in both cases, whether in speaking of God OR in conversations about loving my spouse - it's helpful to be aware of the heart. The motivations for the words. Like Sarah used to ask me when we were dating, and still asks from time to time when I tell her I love her - "What is making you say that in this moment?"
Truth is, there are definitely times where it is healing salve to my soul to think of myself as a Jesus-shaped donut. And then there are other times where I need something more. Thankfully, God continues to be God through any season of me...:)

origins: playoff beard
Of course, today, we'd hear about all this and laugh a bit. Hair on our head is definitely NOT connected to the human reproductive system. (Unless it's an obvious connection between a young high school boy and his wannabe ponytail completely ruining his chances at developing relationships with the opposite sex. Ah well, survived that one okay eventually.)
But to go straight from that understanding to the one that currently exists today, would be not only missing out, but entirely unfortunate. Hair was not intended for mere fashion. To be trained, trimmed, and teased at will, molded into whatever form desired, with little respect for God's intended purpose. And what was God's intended purpose?
Throughout scripture we see people shaving in mourning the loss of a loved one. What we don't see, or read in scripture, is what happened before the mourning began. Traditions and historians vary on their view, but it's widely believed that the reason for silence in this area is due to the extreme powers that it has involved in the past. Think Samson type stuff.
There was a man, Abrabeard. Abrabeard was once praying fervently for someone else, and in his prayer he asked God to give him something more to occupy his interceding. God smiled on Abrabeard, and promised him that if he would continue to not shave his face or head, blessings would come to the person he was interceding for.
Fast-forward to today. Sure, not shaving is sometimes incorporated in Lent and other seasons of prayer. But the only realms still connecting purposefully to this ancient practice would be what is popularly being referred to as the "Playoff beard". Often looked over or scoffed at by those who deny its' practice, its' power goes well beyond what simply shouting at the television could achieve. Fortunately for the fairness of the NHL, it seems playoff beards are being used by most of its 30 teams and their fans. In some cases however, someone's distance from God produces an inability to grow quality facial hair, as seen most recently in Cindy Crysby.
And so, as we move closer to the playoffs, there are many who have chosen to begin interceding on their teams' behalf. As we join the generations before us, we yell "Game On!", knowing the history we connect with...
(portions of this post are entirely fabricated for purposes of being a fan, but a surprising amount is still actually true.)

marriage as spiritual discipline...
Last week I flew to Atlanta, Georgia to spend some time with other youth workers from our denomination. On the plane, I attempted to distract myself in conversation with those around me. Out of the 4 flights (2 there and 2 back), I managed to engage at least 2 worthwhile relational endeavors. For the other 2 flights, I was left to my own thoughts.
My thoughts ranged from the book I was reading, to the experience of our flight going down after colliding with a flock of geese. But the interesting thing about the thoughts of our plane crashing? My mind wasn't thinking about how my body would respond to a crash. I wasn't worried about the lack of oxygen, or the pain and spilled blood. My first thoughts were of my family back home, and praying they never have to experience that type of loss.
In his first chapter of "Sacred Marriage", Gary Thomas quotes C.S. Lewis from "The Screwtape Letters":
(a demon speaking about humans)"...They regard the intention of loyalty to a partnership for mutual help, for the preservation of chastity, and for the transmission of life, as something lower than a storm of emotion."
The premise of Thomas' book is "What if God designed marriage to make us Holy more than to make us happy?" I'd have to say, it's a great reminder. Especially in talking recently about renewing how I accept my wife as a gift from God. To accept her as someone God has given me to be my "helper" not just in life, but in my walk with Him.
Marriage moves us toward the "other", compelling us and challenging us to go outside ourselves. Teaches us the greater value of letting go of "self". To have, and to seek "romance" (and not just "eros", but all of the emotionally charged, image-rich experiences of "lovey-dovey-ness") in a marriage isn't inherently a bad thing, but it becomes more healthy/beautiful as it is pursued for the other, and not for myself. Which is echoed tremendously in our experiences with God. To desire a whimsical, emotionally-charged experience of the divine is not an evil hunger...but that desire springs not from a thrill-seeking selfish-ambition. It springs from a desire to worship and serve the God who has created all, has made covenant to restore and make all things new, and has sent His Spirit to move among us - already beginning that process.
I thank God for my wife, and for all our marriage has done/is doing/will do....for our walk with God, how our children walk with God, and generations to follow...

Saint Patrick - Part Three
Jesus Christ walked the earth until his 30's. He lived among the people. He got to know them, and understood their language and their culture. He laughed with their joys, and he cried with their pains. So maybe this started with Jesus Christ? That's where I thought I'd go with this.
But the truth is…this all started with God the creator.
He created something out of dust, and breathed life into it. He loved it, because it came from him. God wanted to show love, and minister to this creation. And so He created a partner for it…woman. They had been given a garden. Full of beauty meant to affect the senses. Sounds of life, living creatures. Visual affects of flowers, amazing animals with colors so gorgeous. Fruits so delicious, sounds so harmonious, sights so beautiful, soft grasses, communion with a living God. Everything about this was designed for mankind to worship God through.
I close with the end of a prayer known as St. Patrick's "Breastplate" Prayer:
Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
I bind unto myself the Name,
The strong Name of the Trinity;
By invocation of the same.
The Three in One, and One in Three,
Of Whom all nature hath creation,
Eternal Father, Spirit, Word:
Praise to the Lord of my salvation,
Salvation is of Christ the Lord.

Saint Patrick - Part Two
Through writings that we have from Patrick during his time of ministry in Ireland, we learn things about him. A quote from Thomas Cahill observes that:
"His love for his adopted people shines through his writings, and it is not just a generalized "Christian" benevolence, but a love for individuals as they are….He worries constantly for his people, not just for their spiritual but for their physical welfare…Patrick has become an Irishman."
It is said that when Patrick spoke to these "pre-Christians", he spoke with sufficient dynamism to engage the Celtic people who were used to eloquent speakers and splendid storytellers. Patrick's results suggest that he competed effectively with their indigenous communicators.
The church today has the same call that Patrick felt, when he left "his comfort zone", and went to a people who needed God's love. He went among them. Learned their culture, learned their needs, and learned how God loves them.
Reading through this story of Patrick, and even the details of the rest of his life, there are many things for us to learn. But I want to focus on the 3 changes that occurred in Patrick that led to his ministry in Ireland.
First – Patrick got to know God. He didn't spend hours reading theological journals, he didn't even have a Bible, and he wasn't reading Holiness Today. These are all good ways to know about God, and to know God some…but Patrick spent time in the natural revelation of God. He was able to look at the world, the way everything was designed, and see God revealing himself through colors, movement, and life. He spent time listening and watching, and knowing this God.
Second – Patrick came to know the people of Ireland. Through his time in Ireland, Patrick learned their language, their culture. He learned what needs they had as a people, and how they went about fulfilling them. He knew names. He was looked on as an honorable servant, and became trusted among the people he lived with.
Third – Patrick grew to love his captors. These people he lived with. This is something that didn't begin with his desire to "sell God" to these people, to reap whatever rewards he would receive in Heaven. This came from the desire of Love. As Patrick knew God closer and closer, and as he grew to know the people of Ireland, He developed a God-love for these people. He began to hope and pray for the day they would be saved.
Come back tomorrow for a few final thoughts...

Saint Patrick - Part One
When Patrick was 16, a band of Celtic pirates from Ireland invaded his region. He and several other young men were captured and forced onto a ship. They sailed to Ireland, and Patrick was sold into slavery to a prosperous tribal chief and druid named Miliuc, who put Patrick to work herding cattle.
During his years as a slave, Patrick experienced 3 major changes.
First, periods when Patrick was isolated in the wilderness herding cattle connected him with what theologians call the "natural revelation" of God. He sensed with the winds, the seasons, the creatures, and the nights under the stars the presence of God; he identified this presence as the Triune God he had learned about from his family. Here's a quote from Patrick…
"After I had arrived in Ireland, I found myself pasturing flocks daily, and I prayed a number of times each day. More and more the love and fear of God came to me, and faith grew and my spirit was exercised, until I was praying up to a hundred times every day and in the night nearly as often."
Patrick became a devout Christian, and the change was obvious to his captors.
Second, Patrick changed in another way…he came to understand the Irish Celtic people, and their language and culture, with the kind of intuitive profundity that is usually possible only, as in Patrick's case, from the "underside".
Third, Patrick came to love his captors, to identify with them, and to hope for their reconciliation to God. One day, he would feel they were his people.
One night, after 6 years in captivity, a voice spoke to Patrick in a dream, saying, "You are going home, Look! Your ship is ready!" The voice directed him to flee for his freedom the next morning. He awakened before daybreak, walked to a seacoast, saw the ship, and negotiated his way on board.
Patrick returned to England, trained as a Priest, and served as a Priest in a parish in England.
One night, at the age for 48 – Patrick experienced another dream that was to change his life again. An angel named Victor approached him with letters from his former captors in Ireland. As he read one of the letters, he imagined that he heard the voice of those people, and they cried out as one voice, "We appeal to you, holy servant boy, to come and walk among us."
When Patrick woke up the next morning, he interpreted the dream as a call to take the Gospel to the Celtic peoples of Ireland. He asked the bishops to be sent on this mission. With the encouragement of the Pope, and the leaders, he was ordained as a bishop, and appointed to Ireland, as history's first missionary bishop.
Why is this all significant? Come back tomorrow for more of the story!!!

Review of "My Jesus Year" by Benyamin Cohen
The book is written by the son of a Jewish Rabbi, whose faith had become routine and mundane at best. He saw things advertised both in theory and in practice throughout Jesus-loving realms that he desired in his own faith experience. He's also a writer in a world of "writers doing year-long experiences in order to create a book" fads. So he spends a year in new spiritual worlds. He visits protestant, Catholic, and a few...well..."other" situations.
It doesn't take long before a Christian reader would raise alarm. "He's not really experiencing Christianity" would be easy to say. And it's true. I'll even give away the ending - he doesn't "accept Jesus" in the end. But his openness to God, and description/vantage points offer us some important images some of us may see if we look in the mirror.
There are also insights into the Jewish world that can be beneficial for anyone who wants to follow Jesus (a Jew). Including the phrase above. It basically means "even if you do something desirable for the wrong reason, you'll eventually end up doing it with the right intentions."
And I think the converse can be true as well, as proven by Cohen's desire to spend the year with Jesus. If we do something desirable with right intentions, eventually we may end up doing it for the wrong reasons. May God renew our passion and desire and LIFE toward HIS Kingdom. May we see beyond ourselves, and our consumerist nature. May we belong to something else for a larger purpose than what it offers us...as we all discover the part of the "body" God has created us to be.
Altogether a great book, personalized by illustrations from Cohen's own life and childhood. Stories that poke fun at some of the sillier things that happen in the lives of Jesus-followers (and people who claim they follow Jesus), raise important questions about what it actually means to be a Christian, and participate in the body of Christ.
I'll end with a quote, from Cohen's visit to "Winter Jam", a popular concert tour fronted by Mr. Toby Mac:
(just after a preview clip for the film "Amazing Grace") "Slavery is at an all-time high this year!" The audience, not sure how to respond to this political declaration, does what it's been doing all night when the various bands take the stage - they cheer."

(mis) quotes, etc..
"We are inviting others into the journey of becoming someone others can follow."
"Service is an ESSENTIAL part of discipleship."
"Multiplication requires developing (your) leaders."
"Shared ministry is the MOST effective."
(in regard to what book to read) "I'd rather tell you what KIND of book to read/not read. If it's formulaic (points a, b, and c will yield ____ results), it probably won't help you a ton. If it's bashing the church, without regard for healing and solutions, it probably won't help you much. If you gave the book to someone from another culture, and they told you they couldn't understand it, it probably doesn't have the "big picture" truth to be very relevant."
The general message of our time together, and of the words we were given, was an encouragement to be purposeful in our leadership development. Not simply future pastors or youth workers. But to target the people who are, and will be, followed....to develop them into those who are being followed toward Christ.
The body of Christ as a whole, and the Free Methodist Church needs to be raising people who will step into areas of need. Who will begin new conversations. Who will participate as committed members of a specific body that commits back to them in return, to say "let's move toward Christ together, and experience an accountable community as we do this..."
These are all things that will not happen simply by allowing those who are charismatic or popular rise to the surface naturally. We (read that "I") need to be identifying and developing more of those who have the characteristics of Christ, and guiding/calling them into leadership/discipleship. The valuable point was made that most leaders today weren't called by a mystical "calling of God in the quiet moments", but were actually tugged at through another person in relationship with God.
I pray that this continues to develop as I'd readily admit, due to my low administrative nature, my leadership development has lacked a sense of structure and discipline. Lord, help me...

fire watching....
It includes an assortment of different types of published works from various sources throughout 2008. Foreign comics, essays, short stories, and other brief works from all sorts of publications, compile what has been a pretty great read thus far. I look forward to more.
One of the entries, from the Paris Review, "Diary of a Fire Lookout", by Philip Connors, made me compare what often happens in ministry to his summer employment. During the summer months, at the Gila National Forest, in New Mexico, he looks out a giant tower and spots plumes of smoke, reporting them to the Forest patrols, etc.
One thing he points out, is that most often they don't actually DO anything in response to the fires. They announce what is happening. They keep tabs on it. Sometimes they even fly someone in for a better look to assess what is going on, and how large the fire is. But usually it's allowed to simply burn its course, being surrounded by so much open land. This is for good reasons, and he explains them well.
In ministry, we are often the "Fire Lookout". Both in a negative (things going wrong) sense, and in a positive (Holy Spirit moving) sense. It can be easy for us to feel like our job (not just pastors, but followers of Christ) is to point out and announce what is happening. We keep tabs on it. Sometimes we even do something unique to get a better look and assess what is going on. But how often do we interact with it? Get our hands scarred a bit by our proximity to the flame?
May we not only announce the plumes of smoke we see rising in the Kingdom around us....but may we get our hands dirty and singe our eyebrows by being active where God can utilize us in very important ways....

the one for me...
Because of letting go of such a "romantic" notion that my wife was the one and only person in the universe God intended for me to spend life with, I think there was an aspect of our relationship I've never quite appreciated. The aspect that once my wife and I chose each other, and took the vows of marriage - we chose to become "the one" to each other. Which connects us to Adam and Eve in some pretty important ways.
The fact that God saw Adam, and thought "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper as his partner." Genesis 2:18
To be as thankful for my wife, as Adam was for Eve. To view her as a gift from God. To receive her as the divine gift that she is. To relate to her as God's completion to what he began in me. I think these are aspects of our relationship I've not really spent much time dwelling on.
In the midst of counseling/praying with countless young men who are trying to find "the one" God has for them, I've focused on how much of this process is a CHOICE. It's not a Disney fairy tale. The world emphasizes to "Marry the one you Love", but the Bible directs us to "love the one you marry". (quote from Weekend to Remember)
But in the midst of focusing on reason, and choice, and the atmosphere of it being less something we "fall into", and more something we consciously move toward on purpose - I've moved away from Adam receiving Eve. I don't think I'm alone.
In a world that is fast learning that the real world is a far cry from Cinderella's neck of the woods (i.e. "Enchanted"), we have many who view marriage as an economic partnership. This happens even among those of us who believe God has created and blessed this human endeavor with echoes of the Divine.
It's something that will and has taken humility to admit. But I thank God for my wife, and my prayer is that I will continue to receive her the way Adam received Eve, "..this at last is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh;" - Genesis 2:23
I love it.

Weekend to Remember
I was a bit skeptical, at first. I envisioned lots of "men lead the family, hunt, grunt, and still need to cry in front of their wives". Or even "marriages need lots more Jesus, and that's about it".
Thankfully, it was neither.
What it ends up being is some pretty good reminders about being purposefully in love with your spouse. About putting effort into not only maintaining that purpose, but growing in the experience of it as well. And all of it offered up as an act of worship to the God who made such a relationship possible.
Sure, there were cheesy jokes. There were times I'd make fun of myself for being there. There was even a movie clip from "Fireproof" used. But even with these things, the time spent and discussion prompts provided, and atmosphere of sending couples away with "projects" together....was very good for our marriage.
Not so incredible would be the "Poms" competition that seems to be taking place in the room directly next to ours. Seriously, I think the entire team is staying in one room, and as I type they're playing the music and stomping like teenage female elephants. It's great for a quiet, relaxing, final night at the Pere Marquette. :)
But all in all, I'd definitely recommend this to any married, engaged, or remarried couple. The seminars are good, the resources are inexpensive, the discussion prompts are great. But most of all, to spend a weekend communicating with your spouse on purpose, toward a future of receiving each other.And if you're ever doing a "date night" in Peoria, IL - I recommend Water Street Wines Cafe & Coffees. Call ahead for reservations, and give yourselves at least 2 hours for your dining experience. They don't have meat fondue, but it's more than a complete meal to enjoy the cheese fondue with an Aztec chocolate fondue for dessert. We also added the creme brulee (3 flavors!) as a dessert companion.....holy cow. :) All the food & coffee was ridiculously good. Add to that it's small size, brick walls, and pillows on the bench atmosphere....and you got yourself a relaxing date night.
So there you have it. Definitely a "Weekend to Remember", as advertised.

name callin'.
Obviously there are verses that this is obviously not meant. Genesis 10:25, "..and his brothers name was Joktan." Crazy name too, by the way, eh? Good luck naming your son Joktan today. (it means "small")
But how about in Genesis 12:2, "..I will make your name great..." Makes a lot more of a connection if this is a promise from God to transform the very nature of His people into His own.
Or in 1 Peter 4:16, "If any of you suffers as a Christian, do not consider it a disgrace, but glorify God because you bear this (nature)." One of the natures of Christ we do not consider very often, is to suffer. This verse is more than offering the name of Jesus Christ as a badge to be proud of. It's declaring that in our suffering, we are connecting with the very nature of Jesus Christ.
And finally, in Revelation 3:12, "If you conquer...I will write on you the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem that comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name." The words actually begin with a term "if you are conquering", which meant/means to be living as New Jerusalem citizens in a fallen Babylon world. If we are living toward Jesus and His Kingdom, God promises to transform our very nature toward His own, and toward a resurrected nature. :)
It's tempting to provide more examples like this, but I believe it's beneficial to whet your appetite, and tell you to go look for more uses of the word "name". Obviously, again...not every time...but many times it can mean SOOOO much more than what someone calls out to get our attention. May God bless you as you read His Word....and take on His name.

I know that actual rap fans, and rappers would probably hear this and giggle inside. Lack of ____________, that makes it a merely wannabe effort.
And yet it stands. Props to the wannabe's who aren't afraid to play. :)

Philippians 3:17-4:1 - Final
And what are Paul's final words in these verses?
Therefore…STAND FIRM in the Lord IN THIS WAY.
What way?
Not simply by "believing". Not by simply "being devoted to what happens at church", or by giving large amounts of our excess to God and His Kingdom.
But by actually LIVING as CITIZENS of heaven. Now. By renouncing any other people/things/powers that try and claim you as a citizen under their authority.
This can be an incredible gift – For those of us who have messed up. For those of us who have very little in this world. For those of us who are suffering. None of these things can claim our identity….for we are citizens of HEAVEN even now.
This can also feel/seem like a sacrifice – For those of us who have more than plenty. Those of us who are comfortable, and have built up a today and tomorrow that we are tempted to put faith in. For those of us who have accomplished something that the world ascribes to us as our identity. We renounce all of these things, reminded by Paul that our minds are not on things of this world. We are CITIZENS OF HEAVEN.
I'd venture that for most of us, we have moments of both. Moments where we cling to that citizenship for all we're worth, as it frees us from what threatens to bind us today, and promises hope and life for eternity with Jesus. But also moments where we are challenged to serve Caesar. Tempted to think our identity might be bound by a success or potential success in this world.
Into both moments, come the Truth of Jesus Christ about our citizenship…a citizenship that is offered to ALL nations and people around the globe. A citizenship we did not, could not ever earn or purchase.
Will you live as a citizen of heaven this week?
What will that change from last week?
What Caesars is God calling you to turn away from?
What Caesars is God freeing you from?

Philppians 3:17-4:1 - Continued
Here in Chapter 3, we enter the text just after Paul has talked about resigning his "Jewish-ness" for the sake of Christ. All that was embodied in his rightful claim as a Jewish man, he let go of and renounced for what he gains in Christ.
Then he says in vs. 17 – "Join in imitating me"
Obviously, there are few, if any, Jews in this area. Which is why he goes on to use the language he does. He wants to help them connect what he's saying about the identity Christ has brought to us, and to this place we live.
"There are enemies of the cross…I've told you of them, and now I tell you with tears." Paul is obviously experiencing an intense emotion here, perhaps knowing that what he's asking them to do could turn out very badly for them short term.
But Paul's is not a short term message. :)
He declares to them, and to us….OUR CITIZENSHIP IS IN HEAVEN!!!
We represent the rule and presence of Jesus Christ in our world. We live not according to the systems and powers of this place we live, but according to the way of Jesus Christ.
Immediately, the hearers of Paul's message may have begun thinking about what it would mean to claim Jesus as Christ, instead of Caesar. Caesar was often called "savior", because it was his word, his power, his presence that would rescue and restore order in chaos.
What is our "Caesar"?
As an individual – what rules your life? Money? Time? Ourselves? Preparation for the future? Anxiety? "Success"?
What would it mean for us to claim Jesus, instead of that…as our Christ?
As a church – what or who is ruling us? The desire to be larger or more exciting than other churches? Numbers on paper, whether it's attendance, membership, offerings, how much we give, how many people we serve? To be financially stable? To make sure we always do things this way or that, or always strive to be "new" or "on the edge"?
What would it mean for us as a local church to claim Jesus anew, as our Christ?
Paul knows that when they, and when we…think of changes, and "little deaths", or possibly even real deaths for them…that will occur when we choose Jesus…we need to be reminded that these bodies, and these lives, are temporary.
That people who live according to their appetites, are worshiping their "stomachs". The word used here can be anything from the "carnal, lustful, etc", or even "the inner most part of a man, soul, desires". Not inherently bad, but not intended to be what we live according to. Our minds are not supposed to be set on these things.
We are citizens of heaven, and when our Savior comes he will transform these "humble bodies". That's a nice way to put it, for most of us. To look at the imperfections, fallen-ness, etc…and to simply say "humble bodies".
We will be transformed to being conformed (summorphon – only other place used is Romans 8:29… "those predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son") with the body of His GLORY.
What is the body of His glory?
Not the body we see on the cross, but the body we see after the resurrection. One not OF this world, bound by the laws of nature. But a body that pays no regard to decay or the negative impact of aging. Physical, as we see doubting Thomas touch the hands of Jesus. But also somehow not bound by physical laws, as we see Jesus entering the locked room without any doors or windows being opened for him.
Paul doesn't try to explain how this will happen, it's not important. It will happen, just as all things that exist are subject to God. That God, is the one who's eternal Kingdom we are now living as citizens of.
And what are Paul's final words in these verses? Come back tomorrow as we close out this section...

Philippians 3:17-4:1
Imagine: You've been living in a third world country for quite a while now. You know hunger, suffering, and what it means to want. One day, you receive a letter that explains, somehow things had gotten mixed up when you were born. You're actually the child of a royal family in Europe. They wanted to make sure you were safe until they could come get you, so they purchased the entire country you now live in…and now rule over it as well. They are sending resources that where you live needs now, and sending them through you until they can come there themselves. How would you feel?
As I was growing up, there were always awards assemblies. I never did sports, and was never too academic after 5th grade. But one thing I'd always achieved was "good citizenship".
I never understood much of what that meant. Today, I have a better understanding. I am a citizen of Decatur, IL. That means I strive to contribute to the well-being, orderly existence of, and future of our community. I pay my bills. I vote. I serve on the parking and traffic commission. I'm a good, active citizen.
Here's some quick history: Philippians is a letter to the church in Philippi.
Almost 50 years before Christ, there was a civil war, "Caesar's Civil War". When the war had been won, you had several legions of soldiers out and about, and could not have those thousands and thousands returning to the city of Rome…it would be dangerous.
So the soldiers near Philippi, an already established Greek town on a well-worn path easily traveled to from Rome, were given land and resources to live there as citizens of Rome.
Years down the road, we find Paul in this city, which is full of descendants of those original Roman soldiers and their families. There may also be some there who are descendants of the original Greek residents, and who resent the leadership/rule of the Roman Empire.
For those who ARE Roman citizens, their citizenship came with certain rights, and expectations. Membership and participation in the Imperial Cult (viewing Caesar as divine, and Roman rule as given by God) was a part of their life.
But they also enjoyed certain rights, not available to all people.
The right to trial, to sue others and defend oneself.
They were exempt from local rules and regulations, deferring to the laws of Rome.
They were generally immune from some taxes and other legal obligations.
Legal protections if accused of a crime, could not be tortured or whipped, nor receive death penalty except for treason…but even then, could not be crucified on the cross.
Roman citizens represented and embodied the power, rule, order, and presence of Caesar in Philippi.
Come back tomorrow for more....

Some people collect beer bottles or liquor bottles. Some people collect beer cans, hello Hoarders on A&E the other week! Ugh! I do not collect either. I actually don't have a collection but anything besides soaps and wickless candles but I certainly don't have enough to call it a collection. Actually, it depends on the definition. Moving on..
At Windy City Glassblower all of the glass is recycled and made in the traditional style of soft glassblowing and is often made to order. 100% of the bottle used to avoid waste, and each product is dishwasher safe and Eco-Friendly.
My favorite glasses are the Boylan Grape Soda glasses. The bottles were opened up and turned into drinking glasses. You'll get a set of four of them with this listing. I just think this is the neatest idea. The beer bottle glasses would be a great addition to any get together when you have friends over too!

While there is no cure for HIV, there are many ways an HIV positive person can live a long, healthy life. One of those ways is by taking specific HIV medications. There are a number of different types of treatment available, but most treatments have the same goal.
Not everyone needs to take treatment. Most of the time, people start treatment when their CD4 count is low, which in the UK means below 350. Sometimes, doctors may start treatment before if there is additional risk, such as during pregnancy.
Since HIV weakens your body's immune system, it can make you more likely to get sick. The more HIV that is in your body (which is measured by viral load- how much virus is in the blood), the more it can affect your immune system. The way it affects your immune system is by attacking the CD4 cells. CD4 cells are types
of white blood cells (also known as T Cells) that help your body fight infection. HIV takes over these cells. With untreated HIV infection, the number of CD4 cells goes down, making it harder for your body to fight infection. Treatment makes it harder for the HIV to copy itself and spread to other cells, and the goal of treatment is to reduce the amount of HIV in the blood (viral load).
While technology keeps making new, better forms of treatment, the patient plays a crucial role in making sure the treatment works. The best way to help ensure treatment works, is through adherence. Adherence means "sticking to it" – in this case, following the doctor's plan exactly for how you are supposed to take your medication. When treatment is taken correctly, it is more likely to work. If there is something making adherence difficult, talk to your doctor. You may be able to switch medications. Also, many people are able to better adhere
to their treatment if they have social support. Attending meetings with other HIV positive people on treatment is a great way to get support and find out some strategies for living with HIV and on treatment.
Check out i-base and aidsmap for further treatment information.

I though there was a training forum too, but don't see it in the list, if there is mods this might be better suited there. But I leave it up to your sage wisdom.
Another user DJP5833 saw a couple of my other surveys I put together and thought of some more interesting info to rend from the collective spiceworks community regarding certification. We have put together a survey that tries to see not only who is certified or not but who has a college degree or not and the number of years experience people have tied to their wages, i.e starting wage and current wage range. and tied up with a spot of who paid for the certs and were they planned or ad-hoc. If you are willing to take a few minutes and fill it out, as always I am sure the results will be interesting. The survey is anonymous but tracked on your computer only by cookie so it can only be taken once per person. Ou can view it and take it here http://scheidel21.com/viewpage.php?page_id=3 I think I get lazier I used to make page link to take it and view the results now I just direct you to the survey list. Take the one that is titles Certification Vs. Experience. Feel free to take any others or view the results if you haven't previously.

Alex, found a couple issues. On the second page there's no salary ranges for (no certs or degree) just Yes No, etc.
And then the Current Salary has no option for 70-75 for no cert or degree.
Dec 10, 2010 at 2:27 UTC
Thanks limey, I'll check it the problem is if I edit it now then any data will be deleted. But i will take note of that, thanks.
The problem with this is that there are so many snakes of paths to take and account for. I should have written it down on paper first.
Dec 10, 2010 at 2:34 UTC
I think it is fixed. Lost the data of two takers unfortunately, if you took it please retake it. As far as the salary for no certs or degrees that should be rectified too. I shose the wrong answer type, sorry guys my screw ups.
Dec 10, 2010 at 2:37 UTC
Arg it isn't quite what I planned you should only see question based on you answer to previous ones, i.e in the salary range you should only see the one applicable to you. Well at least it helps me better get a grasp on how to create complicated surveys.
Dec 10, 2010 at 3:44 UTC
Cool survey's
Dec 10, 2010 at 3:57 UTC
Cool survey's
Thanks, I will have to take the next complicated one slowly though to make sure all is in order.

Made a difference this holiday season
Monday, November 04, 2013 4:00 PM
WINNEMUCCA - The holiday season marketing mania is on with a full-court press, to borrow a basketball analogy.
The days when the 24/7 Christmas advertising didn't appear until after the turkey leftovers were wrapped up and stowed in the refrigerator are long gone.
Black Friday is now Black Thursday, with some big box stores open for business on Thanksgiving, much to the chagrin of their employees who have to work.
But enough with the gripe session.
It's a special time of year, and made even more meaningful when the community opens its collective wallet to help others.
There are people in Winnemucca who can definitely use some help this year. You won't see them at the mall slapping their platinum charge card down on the counter at Macy's or lugging shopping bags of presents under both arms.
They are families living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to put food on the table, pay utility bills, pay rent, pay for gas to get to a job that may not pay much more than minimum wage.
For some in a society that appears to be economically segregating into the haves and have nots, it just doesn't seem to get any easier. When a family is struggling financially and kids are involved, it's doubly depressing.
Fortunately, there are caring people in Winnemucca who work tirelessly without a whole lot of thanks to assist others. This is a busy time of year for them.
The Winnemucca food bank can use donations, always, and especially with the Thanksgiving holiday next on the list. Buy a few extra non-perishable items the next time you're loading up your cart at the store. You can drop them off at the food bank on Bridge Street. They're nice people and they will be happy to receive your donation.
The local Boy Scouts will be collecting food this Saturday (Nov. 9) Leave a few nonperishable food items in a paper or plastic bag outside your door. You won't miss the food but someone will surely be thankful. The scouts will donate what they collect to the food bank, which will see to it that needy families are the recipients.
Got a hat or coat you're not going to wear this winter? Clean out the closet and see what turns up. Through Saturday, Nov. 9, the "Warm Hands Project" is collecting winter wear for adults and children. Donations are accepted at the three thrift stores in town - Frugal Flamingo, Poke 'n' Peek and the Sonoma Thrift Store until Saturday. The items will be given out on Nov. 16 from 9 a.m. to noon in the basement of the Winnemucca United Methodist Church at 138 W. Winnemucca Blvd.
Maybe some child smiles when he or she shows up and gets a nice knit hat and mittens.
The Humboldt Sun will be once again participating in the Giving Tree to make sure our seniors are not forgotten during the holidays. It's a project the entire community gets behind and really brings home what the season is about.
You don't have to give of anything other than your time to boost someone's spirits or make a difference. The soup kitchen can always use help. It's a tremendous effort week in and week out by the Winnemucca Ministerial Association. The Humboldt Hospice Thrift Store can always use help. Spending some time with a resident at Harmony Manor for a game of checkers or a chat brings a special reward.
We'll keep you posted on events and ways you can help out in the pages of the Sun.
Steve Lyon is editor of the Humboldt Sun. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

This guide is written as a quick reference to provide the listener with methods of detachment, setting boundaries, and letting go with the substance abuser in your life. Applying the ideas within will certainly help you experience more peace in your life and bring about less tension between you and the addict.
Get this audiobook on coping with an addict. You will be glad you did.
©2013 Jordy Christo (P)2015 Jordy Christo
"Easy to follow, a great source of advice!"
The information within it is focusing on what to do and what not to do, which can be of equal importance.
There weren't any characters.
He is a calming voice that is straight to the point as he is delivering the information. It makes the advice easier to relate to.
That you should not allow yourself to be provoked by something an addict might do. You have to remain calm and keep a clear head.
This is helpful for people that have loved ones that are addicts, but that doesn't mean only people that have substance abuse problems. There are many things people are addicted to nowadays, so this book may be appropriate for a wider reach of people.
"Great Tips"
Although most of the tips are common sense, there were a few that were enlightening and that alone made the book worth the listen. Even listening to what I already know was helpful in reaffirming my commitments. Well read by the narrator.
Author - The Happiness Animal
"The voice of experience makes the best guide"
What a short and snappy concise and extremely useful list of tools and techniques for managing anxiety and finding your inner passion and motivation.
The narrator presents the tips in engaging fashion and is sure to hook your ears.
Without much effort or changes to your everyday life, you can get to applying these tips right away, and feel the instant easing of your relationships with addicts close to you.
Have you asked yourself,
'Is what I have to say necessary? Is what I have to say true?...'
If you are close to an addict, this is probably the most useful 20 minutes of your audible listening experience . If you only apply one of the 101 tips from the book, you are making progress!

Talentsoft Learning takes the Gold at the Brandon Hall Group Excellence Awards for its mobile application SkillCatch
SkillCatch, the mobile app that makes digital training more accessible, honored with an International Excellence Trophy.
The SkillCatch mobile application, which was launched in March 2015 on the international stage at CeBIT, has just won the highly-coveted Gold Prize awarded by the US-based Brandon Hall Group in the category of "Best Advance in Mobile Learning Technology." Talentsoft Learning, the leader in digital learning was recognized at the HCM (Human Capital Management) Excellence Awards.
In distinguishing SkillCatch as the best mobile advance in training, the judges saluted its innovations, in terms of the solution's educational and collaborative contributions.
The main purpose of SkillCatch is to offer anyone who identifies a talent the ability to capture it using their smartphone or tablet. SkillCatch was devised to capture informal knowledge and transform it into training sequences (micro-training), in order to share it in just a few moments. The app also offers a MOOC space used to store the educational sequences created on a cell phone and send them out to a list of contacts.
Jérôme Bruet, Talentsoft Learning's Managing Director, stresses the importance of this award: "This gold prize rewards SkillCatch for its innovation and its educational efficiency: real recognition of our expertise on the global digital learning market."
