Supplementary Material for: Vitamin D3-Supplemented Yogurt Drink Improves Insulin Resistance and Lipid Profiles in Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Randomized Double Blinded Clinical Trial
2016-06-23T13:53:00Z (GMT) by
Background: Our study aimed to examine the effects of daily consumption of vitamin D3-supplemented yogurt (VDY) drink on insulin resistance and lipid profiles in pregnant gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) patients. Methods: Participants aged 24-32 years in their second trimester were randomly assigned to consume either plain yogurt or VDY daily for 16 weeks. Metabolic and lipid profiles including levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), serum insulin, triacylglycerol (TAG), total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) were assessed at baseline (week 0) and end of trial (week 16). Results: After 16 weeks of intervention, insulin-related variables including FPG and serum insulin levels were markedly lower in VDY group participants. Insulin resistance parameters, such as homeostasis model of assessment of insulin resistance and β cell function, were also significantly reduced in VDY group participants. Moreover, levels of TAG, TC and LDL, as well as the TC to high-density lipoprotein ratio, had also significantly decreased in the VDY group. Conclusion: Daily consumption of VDY drink improves insulin resistance and lipid profiles in women with GDM.

Bill Holcombe Tribute Concert
This is sad news. Holcombe has written a ton of stuff…..his Jazz Flute Concerto is one of my favorites.
From: Ricky Lombardo
Subject: [FLUTE] Bill Holcombe Tribute Concert
Date: April 13, 2010 1:55:13 PM PDT
To: email@example.com
Dear Flute Friends,
I attended a concert to honor Bill Holcombe this past Sunday, a tribute to the man and his music, put on by 40 of his friends. Many may not know it but Bill is very ill with terminal cancer. He is very frail and now in a wheelchair. Many of you know Bill Holcombe for his flute arrangements. However, most of the music world knows him for his work with concert band, strings, sax quartets, brass quintets and jazz band. He has had a career many musicians can only dream about. This concert was totally his arrangements and compositions. None of his flute works were showcased. His friends must have traveled from all over to be part of this one time event because I and the local musicians performing did not recognize most of the band members. Two links were sent in an e-mail I received the night before the concert. The first is a to an article in one of our local newspapers. The second is for a facebook page set up by someone for Bill. I thought many would like to know about Bill and his condition as well as reading about his amazing music career.
Although this was an amazing concert with phenomenal musicians, it was sad to see Bill in this condition. However, he still has that smile and of course a lot to say between songs. His wife Helen of 60 years was going to sing a song but didn't in the end. Although we don't see that much of one another, Bill and I live only about 15 minutes apart.

How Nagahara Flutes Are Made
This is a great article telling a little of how Nagahara flutes are made using CNC technology.
"The greatest flute players in the world strive for a uniquely personal sound to the way they play their instruments and interpret each piece of music. For this reason, these professionals often choose hand-made instruments that enhance these artistic efforts. Nagahara Flutes is a company that caters to the needs of top-ranking flute players. Its customers include Sir James Galway, Ian Anderson (singer and flute player of Jethro Tull fame) and many leading performers in orchestras worldwide. The individually crafted instruments are produced in silver, gold or platinum."

Ted Neff
This is a sad story. Original article here.
A Vallejo man was arraigned in Martinez on Wednesday on charges that he murdered a man in his home in Bay Point, stole property, including a custom-made gold-plated flute, and then set the man's house on fire, prosecutor Harold Jewett said Wednesday.
Alejandro Rivera, a 23-year-old male escort, met the victim, 66-year-old Theodore Neff, on Craigslist and had a sexual relationship with him, Jewett said.
The two men got into an argument on Dec. 3, during which Rivera allegedly strangled Neff.
At some point after the murder, Rivera allegedly went back into Neff's home at 542 Bustos Place in unincorporated Bay Point, stole property and allegedly set the house on fire, Jewett said.
They have caught the guy, and charged him with murder, arson and burglary. The whole story is messed up.

Jim Walker Masterclass
This was posted on the Galway Flute Chat list:
"Southern California flutists were delighted to be treated to a
Masterclass by Sir James this last November in Malibu. For a variety
of reasons, masterclasses by high-profile flutists are a relative
rarity in the Los Angeles area, especially considering how large the
flute community is in Southern California. Fortunately, the tireless
and amazing Jim Walker has decided to offer an annual week-long
Masterclass right here in Los Angeles!
Jim is pleased to announce his first annual week-long Masterclass & Seminar, taking place at the beautiful new facilities at the Colburn School in Los Angeles June 16-21, 2008.
Guest Artists for Flute Week 2008 include Viviana Cumplido, Principal Flutist with the Phoenix Symphony, and Los Angeles Flutist Heather Clark.
Jim Walker's "Beyond the Masterclass" Flute Week will follow an intense daily schedule that is both highly performance-oriented and designed to offer instruction on topics that students will face as professional musicians in the real world. Performers will play in masterclass, receive a private lesson, attend all seminars, play in flute ensemble, perform in recital, and attend two special flute concerts given by Jim and Viviana. Several options for auditing the class are also available.
Many more details about the class and registration forms can be found at www.jimwalkerflute.com/beyond.
Brochures to post or to hand out to students can also be downloaded and printed from the website.
Jim is very excited about the class this year and it promises to be a valuable opportunity for everyone who will participate.
Feel free to send any inquiries to: firstname.lastname@example.com

Comic Book Pop Art Spider Man Birthday Party
Mirna's party description-
"The Spider-Man Invasion!!! For more than 2 years now, Jude has been obsessed with Spider-Man. So when I asked him what he wanted for his 5th birthday, his answer was.. Spider-Man birthday. 🤦🏻♀ I didnt want a classical Spider-Man birthday so I opted for a comic pop art Spider-Man theme with bright colors. The Birthday was on the beach which the kids loved, they had the option to either play on the slide/bouncy castle or swim or play with the sand/collecting shells. After that we had 6 party games, followed by dinner, then cutting the cake and finally Piñata.
Pulling off this birthday was lot of hard work, but seeing the final results and the joy in my sons eye was super rewarding. I got 'best mom' award for pulling the 'most fun birthday' from Jude :-) "

My first church leadership position was as a student crew leader at a VBS a small church in Northern California nearly 15 years ago. You might not think of a student crew leader at a VBS as someone on your church leadership team, but that church did. I still remember hearing the pastor tell us that we were on the church staff for the week of VBS and that we needed to live into that reality.
It was a HUGE responsibility… and, looking back, it was my first step toward a career in vocational ministry.
I think of that summer every time that I look at pictures like the ones above. You see, each year I give that same talk to our group of student leaders at VBS. And, each year, that group grows.
I don't think it's a coincidence.
This last July, I sat in a room with 300 student leaders, preparing them for their 2 week commitment to VBS at Glenkirk. For many, it was their first time attending our week-long training session for Student VBS leaders. Many had once been children jumping on the pews during opening VBS worship, some were simply youth in our community looking to make a difference in the world around them – all of them were joining the ranks of our church staff for the better part of a month. They were given the chance to live up to great expectations and to share God's love with the kids who would be entrusted to their care.
As I watch many of them taking on greater leadership roles in the church (we have students serving on worship teams, leading kids' ministry, on our church's finance committee, leading mission trips and serving in countless other areas), I can't help but dream about the next generation of leaders that God is raising up in our midst.
This past weekend, students who were once just VBS counselors were leading our church's largest kids' ministry service while I spoke in a different location on campus. Without a single paid staff person around, that service had one of its highest attended Sundays in its history… and it didn't miss a beat. When we look to duplicate ourselves in ministry, I think the wise investment is often found when we pour our lives and energy into equipping our youth with the tools and knowledge it takes to make ministry happen.

Spot the signs of the seasons
Let us know what's happening to animals and plants near you and help scientists track the effects of climate change on wildlife.Explore Nature's Calendar
Senior adviser
Autumn brings one of nature's most spectacular displays in the turning of leaf colours, triggered by the tree drawing back resources as it prepares for winter dormancy. As you marvel at the blaze of colour, think for a moment about the huge variation in the shapes and sizes of the leaves and ask...why?
Globally, plant leaf sizes vary from a tiny 1mm2 to a massive 1m2 – a million-fold difference that some of the earliest ecologists noted and attempted to explain. Over a century ago the theory was put forward that leaf size varies with latitude, which to some extent is true. But a walk through any woodland reveals a wide range of coexisting leaf sizes: latitude is clearly not the only variable in play.
Credit: Michael Cooper / WTML
A recent study, published in Science, gathered together data from 682 sites around the world to compile measurements for 7670 species. The statistical analysis revealed a complex picture, with upper and lower limits on leaf size constrained to varying degrees by daytime and night-time factors. Daytime constraints included factors such as temperature and availability of water and light, night-time constraints were mainly related to colder temperatures.
Leaves are a tree's powerhouse, the place where photosynthesis takes place, the cascade of enzymes and light that creates the sugars that allow the plant to grow. As ever, a balance is struck between competing tensions: absorbing enough heat for efficient chemical reactions without becoming too hot, having enough ground water to cool down through transpiration, not being susceptible to frost damage – the list goes on. Even a plant's position in the vertical hierarchy of woodland, from ground flora to canopy species, will determine the precise conditions of light, temperature and humidity experienced.
The study's authors claim that the new, more detailed model will help scientists to better predict the likely future ranges of plant species as the climate changes. Such studies require data from multiple sources including our very own Nature's Calendar, which is the UK's longest running phenological dataset, made all the more impressive by the fact that the observations are recorded by members of the public.
Autumn is a great time to be in woodlands, with the variety of tree colours, animals busily preparing for winter, the fungi and fruit. Taking part in recording the timing of natural events will help scientists to understand how the changing climate is going to affect our wildlife, so why not combine your woodland walk with a bit of citizen science?

Last night, I fell asleep waiting for the State of the Union, Obama's last one, to begin. First of all let me say, I hate the State of the Union Address. There is far too much political posturing. Speechwriter spit pauses in the speech so people know when to stand a clap. All that standing and sitting has to be annoying. And then there is the opposition party, who sits there looking, for the most part, like someone just stole their favorite toy. Every once in a while the president says something that everyone has to agree on, such as, "Our military is wonderful!" and everyone stands and applauds. If I were giving a State of the Union Address, I would begin by asking everyone to remain seated and hold their applause throughout the speech, and when they ignored that like most people do when similar requests are made, I'd chastise the audience. I would explain that the average American does not enjoy sitting and watching half the chamber sitting and sulking while the other half is giving a standing ovation. It's just silly political posturing and I wouldn't have it. We are all going to know what the opposition party thinks when they deliver their response, and we will know what everyone else thinks when they talk about it the next day. I wouldn't want applauded just to stroke my own ego.
With that being said, I missed the first 20 minutes because I fell asleep, then I watched it for about 45 minutes before I got so bored and disgusted by the behavior of Congress that I turned it off and went to bed. I'd stayed up late the night before and I have an earlier than usual day today. (Staff in-service: woo-hoo. Note the sarcasm there.) By the way, does anyone else agree with me that Paul Ryan looks like a smug bastard. Boehner was bad enough, but he always just looked constipated during the State of the Union, and Nancy Pelosi before them looked bored. Joe Biden mouth and facial muscles must hurt by the end because of all the smiling he does. Dick Cheney never smiled at the State of the Union. Wait, was Cheney allowed out of his secure secret undisclosed location to attend the State of the Union? I guess he was, I don't remember that seat being empty.
By the way, did anyone notice that Obama went with a red and white tie instead of the obligatory democratic blue tie. Maybe he's just an Alabama fan and wanted to show his support for the national championship that they just won in football, though I can't imagine that he had an orange and purple tie for if Clemson won. I'm going with that he's an Alabama fan.

Chapter 2: Map scale
Items needed to complete this lab:
■ Ruler, see printable ruler link if you do not have one.
■ Hand calculator or calculator program on your PC
■ Tables in appendix C of Map Use book
Key distance conversions
Conversions between different units of measurement are also an important part of scale and distance calculations. Key conversions are listed below:
■ 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
■ 1 statute mile = 5,280 feet = 63,360 inches
■ 1 statute mile = 1.609 kilometers
■ 1 kilometer = 100,000 centimeters
■ 1 nautical mile = 6,076.1 feet
■ 1 foot = 12 inches
■ 1 meter = 100 centimeters
Explanation of representative fraction
Map scale is defined as the mathematical relationship between a unit of distance on the map and its corresponding distance on the ground. The ratio of map distance to ground distance, both in the same units of measurement, is called the representative fraction (RF) for the map. It is computed from the following equation:
1/X = map distance (md) / ground distance (gd)
We will use this equation in the following scale problems. Hence, an RF of 1/24,000 means that 1 centimeter on the map represents 24,000 centimeters on the ground, 1 inch on the map represents 24,000 inches on the ground, and so on for other units of distance measurement. The RF can also be written as 1:24,000.
Map Scale Questions
1. Convert the following representative fractions into a word statement. (Enter number for x only, no units)
Express the scale of a large-scale map with an RF of 1:50,000 (1 inch to x feet) (whole number)
4166 inch .
Do the same for a medium-scale map with an RF of 1:250,000 (1 inch to x statute miles) (2 Decimal places)
4mile .
And for a small-scale map with an RF of 1:100,000,000 (1 inch to x statute miles) (Whole number)...

My Mistakes
When you have a falling out with someone I think it's important to lay out your own mistakes along with understanding what they did to hurt you. Relationships don't fall apart because one person screwed it all up, it's a 2 way street. In regards to an ex-friend of mine here are the mistakes I believe I made:
Expectations: I wanted this person to give as much emotionally as I gave and for whatever reason that's not where they were or what they could give. I felt disappointed and hurt but it was because of my own expectations I put on them. This is something I do a LOT and have talked about in therapy before.
Sensitivity: I was too sensitive and it's hard as this person is a lot tougher (at least on the outside) and I think it frustrated them, understandably.
Neediness: With this friend I made them my #1 above all other friends and for a while it was great but then as things changed I realized she was my only real friend and as I felt (whether it was true or not) she wasn't making time for me I felt abandoned and I got clingy. Btw, clingy is one of the most unattractive qualities but there you have it. It's like when you know a relationship is ending and you get kind of desperate, that's what I did.
Anger: I wish I'd kept calm more and got angry less, I'm not proud of the angry emails I've sent to her and her husband even though they are probably pretty honest on my end but I wish I'd gone about it in a more thoughtful way. I always try to wait 24 hours to send an emotional email so I've calmed down and really thought about it.
Strength: I wish I could have been stronger and handled things better. I wish I could have sat and talked with her more instead of being scared of confronting her. I wish I'd been strong enough not to lash out and instead just be honest in a kind way.
Judgement: One of my least favorite qualities about myself is that I can be judgmental and I'm always trying to work on it. I make judgements sometimes on people's relationships and their lives, even though nobody can really judge another person's life from the outside. Sometimes I have to remind myself that if it's not my life then it's none of my business.
Unfortunately I don't think any of this will ever be resolved unless we can get to a place where we can discuss and deal with the past so we can let it go. We're both still discussing how everything fell apart and both stories are very different. If issues, that are clearly still there on both ends, aren't dealt with they will just keep arising in the relationship. Too often shit is just swept under the rug and that's the perfect way for things to never get better.
Pretending like nothing ever happened and just moving on means all those problems that everyone admits to existing will always be between everyone. If you can say "it's your life and I won't pretend to understand your situation and make no judgement on your circumstances" then ok but I'm doubtful of that happening.
Letting go and moving on is more than just leaving the past in the past, it's about dealing, resolving and admitting to your own mistakes. Dealing with these things are tough but it's what you do for the people you love and want in your life.

We are simply into the fifth month of the yr and car manufacturers are already promoting their 2008 model 12 months automobiles. Mazda Motor Company is a Japanese auto-producer based in Hiroshima, Japan. In converting the uncooked materials into finished products, the producer makes use of labour, equipment and tools and also incurs different manufacturing costs reminiscent of energy consumption, upkeep of machinery, and so forth.
This was in all probability the biggest mistake in British car manufacturing, as automobiles had been badly made, suffered from strikes for dangerous working conditions and advantages and there was just no pleasure in the brand. Toyota's existence within the automotive trade, as early as the Thirties has gained the automotive giants a whole lot of experience in manufacturing top quality automobiles.
It was anticipated that these price cuts would allow the corporate to interrupt even when the U.S. auto market returned to between … Read More

Publisher's Description▼▲
It takes an obsessive mind to know one. And Daniel Clark knows the elusive killer he's been stalking.
He's devoted every waking minute as a profiler to find the serial killer known only as Eve. He's pored over the crime scenes of sixteen young women who died mysterious deaths, all in underground basements or caverns. He's delved into the killer's head and puzzled over the twisted religious overtones of the killings.
What Daniel can't possibly know is that he will be Eve's next victim. He will be the killer's first Adam. After sixteen hopeless months, the case takes a drastic turn on a very dark night when Daniel is shot and left for dead.
Resuscitated after twenty minutes of clinical death, Daniel finds himself haunted by the experience. He knows he's seen the killer's face, but the trauma of dying has obscured the memory and left him with crushing panic attacks. Nothing--not even desperate, dangerous attempts to reexperience his own death--seems to bring him closer to finding the killer.
Then Eve strikes again, much closer to home. And Daniel's obsession explodes into a battle for his life . . . his sanity . . . his very soul.
Enter a world of death and near death that blurs the lines between fiction and reality in a way that will leave you stunned.
"The detail is stunning, pointing to meticulous research in FBI methods, forensic medicine, and psychological profiling. We have to keep telling ourselves that this is fiction. At the same time, we can't help thinking that not only could it happen, but that it will happen if we're not careful."
David M. Kiely and Christina McKenna, authors of The Dark Sacrament

Medium layered hairstyles are trendy as they provide you with an elegant and feminine look. For medium length, there are a variety of layers so you can choose the one that suits your facial shape. If your hair is thin you can hide it by increasing the number of layers at the top of the head. And the other option you have is to choose tapered, choppy, asymmetrical, or shag layers, and combine them with different types of bangs. When you add bangs to medium layered hairstyle you get an amazing result especially if your hair is straight or wavy.

Some of the amazing choices that you can opt for include graduated bob cut, stacked bob cut, choppy cut, and layered bob hairstyles.
One of the common hairstyles for short hair is the oval-layered, short pattern. This hairstyle suits people with an oval face and straight or straight to wavy hair. Short layered hairstyles give you a wide set of choices like add tapered ends, flipped ends, and shag layers to your short hair. Side swept bangs and asymmetrical bangs can also be a feminine addition to your hairstyle.

Nojoqui Falls Photos and Video
By Robert Bernstein
On our way back from the wildflowers on Figueroa Mountain on Monday we stopped by Solvang for lunch. We then continued on Alisal Road from Solvang to Nojoqui Falls Park.
Here are all of my photos!
The drive on Alisal Road is quite beautiful, with lichen-covered trees arched across the road. It is about 6.5 miles on Alisal road which takes about fifteen minutes
There were quite a few people out on this weekday afternoon
A sign explains it is just a ten minute walk to the falls. There are also warning signs to watch for falling rocks. This kind of signage is getting ever more common. I don't think there really is much risk on this trail.
The trail is quite lush and beautiful
It is a steady climb to the falls with some stairs along the way
There are a couple of stream crossings with bridges
Do be careful to stay on the trail as there is also some lush poison oak!
Sure enough, in just about ten minutes of walking we were at the Nojoqui Falls!
This man was photographing his wife and they kindly took photos of me as well
Here is my video of the falls. No, it is not Niagara Falls. But it is the most water I have seen at Nojoqui Falls!
More beautiful scenery on the walk back, including some hole-y trees!

Miss Hart
I am Miss Hart and I work in Willow Class in Year 3 for part of the week. I am also a member of the school safeguarding team.
My career has always been within childcare and education and I cannot imagine working in any other sector. I have been at Beechwood since September 2016 and have loved every minute of it. I do some class cover during the afternoon so have experience of working with different age groups.
My favourite part of working with children is reading them stories. I also enjoy watching their progress throughout the year.

Food, Festival, and Religion
Materiality and Place in Italy
New York, NY:Bloomsbury Publishing, August2018.224 pages.$114.00.Hardcover.ISBN9781350020863.For other formats: Link to Publisher's Website.
Review by Nicola Denzey Lewis forthcoming.
Food, Festival and Religion explores how communities in northern Italy find a restorative sense of place through foodways, costuming and other forms of materiality. Festivals examined by the author vary geographically from the northern rural corners of Italy to the fashionable heart of urban Milan. The origins of these lived religious events range from Christian to vernacular Italian witchcraft and contemporary Paganism, which is rapidly growing in Italy.
Francesca Ciancimino Howell demonstrates that during ritualized occasions the sacred is located within the mundane. She argues that communal feasting, pilgrimage, rituals and costumed events can represent forms of lived religious materiality. Building on the work of scholars including Foucault, Grimes and Ingold, Howell offers a theoretical "Scale of Engagement" which further tests the interfaces between and among the materialities of place, food, ritual and festivals and provides a widely-applicable model for analyzing grassroots events and community initiatives.
Through extensive ethnographic research and fieldwork data, this book demonstrates that popular Italian festivals can be ritualized, liminal spaces, contributing greatly to the fields of religious, performance and ritual studies.

September 22, 2014 — A first-of-its kind study found that using a cerebral protection device during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) can significantly reduce the number and volume of cerebral lesions in high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. Stroke risks are higher with TAVR than surgical valve replacement, so embolic protection of the carotid arteries would greatly help to reduce this risk and make TAVR a safer procedure. Findings were reported Sept. 13 at the 26th annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) scientific symposium in Washington, D.C.
The trial used a device made by Claret Medical, which deploys two embolic protection nets in the ostium of both carotid arteries. The system is inserted via radial access and combines a guidewire, guide sheath and the double embolic protection devices into a single device.
Stroke remains a major predictor of mortality after TAVR. Cerebral protection devices are designed to reduce the risk of stroke by capturing and removing embolic debris that can be released during the procedure. CLEAN-TAVI was a prospective, randomized, double-blind single-center study, and the first trial to examine the impact of a cerebral protection device in preventing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) -detected brain lesions during TAVR. The primary endpoint was the number of lesions in the protected brain region as determined by diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) subtraction at two days post TAVR. Secondary endpoints included the total lesion volume at two and seven days after TAVR and lesion number at seven days.
A total of 100 patients with severe aortic stenosis who were at increased surgical risk were recruited and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to TAVR with cerebral protection (device group) or TAVR alone (control group). Patients underwent MRIs of the brain before and at two and seven days after TAVR. After two days, the median number of lesions in the protected regions in the device group was significantly lower than the control group (4 versus 10, respectively, p=0.009). At seven days after TAVR, the median lesion number was also significantly lower in the device group compared to the control group (3 versus 7, p=0.0023). In addition, the median total lesion volume in the protected area was significantly smaller in the device group compared to the control group at two days (246 mm3 versus 527 mm3, respectively, p=0.0023) and at seven days (101 mm3 versus 292 mm3, p=0.002).
"In patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at increased surgical risk, the use of a cerebral protection device during TAVR significantly reduced the number of cerebral lesions in the protected brain regions," said lead investigator Axel Linke, M.D., a professor at the University of Leipzig Heart Center in Germany. "Device use also reduced the volume of cerebral lesions as determined by DW-MRI."
The CLEAN-TAVI trial was funded by the University of Leipzig Heart Center, Claret Medical and Medtronic. Linke reported grant/research support from Medtronic and Claret Medical; and consulting fees/honoraria from Medtronic, St. Jude Medical, Claret Medical, Boston Scientific and Edwards Lifesciences.

Don't be daft! We weren't making a ridiculously expensive trip back to Scotland for a week, as many people thought when mentioning we were heading to Aberdeen. Instead we were venturing to Australia's own incarnation of Aberdeen, situated in Upper Hunter Country, to the North West of New South Wales.
Pelicans and sleeping in the boot: An overnight stop-over on Central coast
Although Aberdeen is in within a day's drive of Sydney, we opted to break up our journey by testing out our bed setup in the boot of our awesome Holden Commodore. Joella had sourced a super comfy self-inflating double bed that fitted perfectly in the trunk with the back seats down.
Before bedding down for the night, we dropped in past The Entrance (the entrance of what, Joella constantly kept asking) to see the local Pelicans being fed. This has become such a popular event, that it now happens daily in a purpose built amphitheatre featuring talks and even pelican themed merchandise. It was fairly incredible, and at time a little alarming, to see how enormous but yet how dainty these mighty birds are, even within close proximity of crowds of impatient children chasing them!
We lucked out at the campsite – our spot was right on the beach of the lake, and we were treated to a gorgeous sunset following a satisfying feed of enormous Chicken Schnitzels at the local workers club. Our first nights sleep in our boot bed was marvellously comfortable and mostly tranquil, despite the odd bit of noise from nearby possums scurrying about.
Blinky Bill and Skippy's crew: A quick pit-stop to meet Australia's famously unique wildlife
As we weren't expected until the evening, we had the afternoon to visit an animal sanctuary en route. This gave us the opportunity to catch a glimpse of some of Australia's famously unique wildlife, including koala bears, wombats, emu, tree frogs and various venomous snakes.
Low maintenance animals and a cinema room: Making ourselves at home
On arrival at our house sit in Aberdeen, we were treated to a welcome BBQ of familiar sorts; the weather wasn't great, so we ate inside. It was nice to hang out with the family to hear about their work at the mines, to learn of Aberdeen's importance in the world of stud farms, and to be told morbid tales of recent, local, psychotic murderous women!
That week we were looking after two very well behaved and low maintenance German Sheperd Kelpey cross dogs by the names of Diesel and Mia, as well as a friendly but rather independently minded cat named Misty.
Our treat at this house sit was their cinema room featuring a huge HD projection screen, full 7.1 surround sound and proper reclining cinema chairs. We made good use of it while watching numerous films including the epic Australia, mind-blowing Star Wars Rogue One, and the terrifying Wolf Creek – we'll have to consider any lifts with strangers very carefully from now on…
Beautiful scenery and rescuing animals: Adventuring in Hunter Valley
Despite working away on my online portfolio (www.jonathanmclellan.com) we found plenty of time for adventures in Upper Hunter County too: One day we trekked up to what is locally known as 'Burning Mountain', which is so named because of the constantly burning coal seem; giving off a slight hazy glow. Informative signage provided explanations for the burning and it's history, although we preferred the aboriginal story of why, due to a weeping widow who was turned to stone.
Later, after Joella picked up some locally made lemon curd, we decided to embark on a self-drive tour of the legendary Barrington Tops; a scenic stretch of road that climbs high up through rainforests and subalpine woodlands, featuring a number of stunning view points and walks along the way including The Devils Hole. Little did we know what our drive back was to be even more memorable.
While driving past the many fallen kangaroos (they're mowed down at an alarming rate due to their love for the green grass on the road side, and inability to hop backwards when cars come) Joella thought she saw some movement from one of the newer looking carcasses. Remembering the words of my Auntie Christa to check the pouches in case they have a Joey, we reversed back for a closer look. Miraculously there we found a baby Joey struggling to get out of it's dead mother's pouch. We immediately pulled it free, then wrapped him up with some towels from the car and nestled him in our esky (cool box).
He was super cute, but we knew bringing up a kangaroo as our pet wasn't a sensible option. Fortunately there was a nearby animal sanctuary and two ladies came to collect him, after having thanked us for being so vigilant.
Attempting to stay sober, faced with a barrage of fine wines
Before our departure we couldn't avoid visiting one of the many local vineyards, after all, Hunter Valley is one of Australia's best known wine regions! We chose the James Estate, as they also had a ridge walk which we fancied doing. Things were rather hectic when we arrived as a bus of tourists had just arrived, so we opted to head out on the ridge walk that proved to be even more picturesque than we expected.
On our return to the vineyard, things had calmed down and we were treated to an exhaustive and rather generous tasting of the Estate's wines – all 10 of them! Unfortunately I was forced to use the spittoon giving I was the permanent designated driver, but Joella had a good session! We were impressed with their Reserve Chardonnay amongst others, so couldn't resist buying 3 bottles.
Doing time in Maitland: Visiting an old country jail
To break up our long drive back to Sydney for our next house sit, we stopped in past the town of Maitland to visit it's old jail that's now become a tourist attraction following its closure in the late 90's. The audio guide excellently brought its past to life, including stories of successful but short-lived escapes and notorious criminals including Neddy Smith and the Murphy Brothers.
Despite our apprehension that there wouldn't be anything to do in Aberdeen, we were thankfully proved wrong. We definitely enjoyed our time there and were ready to once again head back to the bright lights of Sydney.

Jesus concluded his parable in Luke 16:9 by telling his disciples to make friends with or by means of unrighteous mammon. Much of what the Lord intends for us to understand in the Parable of the Unjust Steward hangs on the meaning of the word mammon (mammonas – G3126), but we are unable to draw much help from the Greek. The word seems to be derived from G3125 (mamme), meaning grandmother, but the sense the translators give the word points to material wealth. Yet, the unjust steward doesn't seem to be extorting the rich man's wealth per se. Rather, he seems to be gaining the confidence of the rich man's debtors.
The steward neither took what was owed to the rich man, nor did he give anything of his own to the rich man's debtors. So, if mammon should mean wealth (as many believe it does), it comes as a surprise in the conclusion of the parable. The unjust steward didn't use wealth to gain the confidence of the rich man's debtors, rather he used his wisdom by forgiving part of the debt owed. It was in this manner that the steward made friends. So, how does this fit into the context of Jesus' conclusion?
Jesus says that when it (most translations) or you (fewer translations) fail… "they may receive you into everlasting habitations" (Luke 16:9). The problem with the meaning of it failing is that when the wealth of the prodigal son failed, he found he had no friends (cf. Luke 15:13-14). What guarantee does anyone have that a friendship gained through gold is a true friendship? There is no guarantee, and, if the Lord means wealth when he speaks of mammon, his argument doesn't seem very sound. Rather, the sense seems to be "when you fail…" (cf. Hebrews 1:12). That is, when you die "they shall receive you into everlasting habitations."
If mammon has to do with material wealth, Jesus' conclusion seems out of context with the parable, because the unjust steward neither used his own material wealth nor (through extortion) that of his master to gain the good will of the rich man's debtors. In Matthew 6:24 Jesus seems to use mammon as a person, a master who was to be served. If we use this to add meaning to Luke 16:9-13, we might say that mammon is a man's unrighteous life. Paul concludes that our righteousness is not our own, but our righteousness is Jesus (1Corinthians 1:30).
In fact, Paul even used this argument in Romans 3. Paul asks the question "What advantage is there in serving God, if we are unrighteous" (paraphrased – Romans 3:1). Paul concludes there is a great deal of advantage in serving God, even as a sinner (Romans 3:2), chiefly handing down his word to others. Unbelief doesn't make the work of God ineffective (Romans 3:3). Rather our unrighteousness causes the righteousness of God to appear all the more glorious, in contrast (Romans 3:4-5). God's righteousness never appeared more appealing than when Jesus hung dying on the cross.
Mammon represents the goods we have been given (Luke 16:1) by the rich man (God) in terms of days we have to live. We can consume our mammon in unrighteous living (cf. Luke 15:13) or we use our unrighteous life (mammon) to serve the Lord (Joshua 24:15). Mammon is what is another man's. We received this unrighteous life from Adam. He is the originator of our lives, but God wants to give us a life of our own, one which we owe to no one but God (cf. 2Corinthians 5:1). This is the everlasting habitation to which our Father and Jesus receive us (Luke 16:9), when we use our mammon, or our life we received from Adam, to serve the Gospel.

Living with Adult ADD is hard. Not a lot of people get it, but it really is. I'm not medicated or anything, as I believe I am mature enough to handle myself, but the struggle is real. I lose focus almost immediately whenever I do anything I'm not wholeheartedly interested in, and even then I start to fade. I don't have a lot of issues when I teach or do a photography shoot, as these things have a time limit and I can make myself focus for a certain amount of time. Just not all day. Many of you suffer from lack of focus, especially at work. I found Ned Hallowell's Driven to Distraction at Work: How to Focus and be More Productive super helpful and I think you will, too.
There are two very important parts of this book. Part One's focus is to help readers overcome distractions at work. Electronics being a huge one. It's so much easier and fun to peruse Facebook and Pinterest than do paperwork, grading, or whatever tedious things your job entails. Part Two involves managing and maintaining your ability to focus, with strategies to help you mentally stimulate yourself, supplements you can take to help you get rid of the afternoon blahs, and mediation tips.
