Bantwal, Feb 07, 2015: A youth hailing from B Mooda village in Bantwal has been booked by the police on the charges of creating an obscene image of Sadhwi Saraswathi and uploading it on Facebook.
The arrested person is Naufal and he is booked under Section 66 (A) of IT Act.
The VHP and Bhajrangdal had earlier filed a complaint in this regard. Sadhwi Saraswathi is expected to participate in the Hindu Samajotsava to be organised at the Nehru Maidan here on March 1 as part of the golden jubilee celebrations of the VHP.
The complainants alleged that the uploading of the obscene image was aimed at disrupting the proposed Hindu Samajotsava and said they will not be responsible in case of any untoward incident that may occur due to such developments. The complaint also urged for stern action against the accused.

I just realized in her diary it says Big Blob. The experiment number is 816, which is "big" in the font and the batch number is 8708 which looks like "blob" in the font.
I got my Gooliope today! Yay! I took some shots of her with the regular, big sister and little sister bodies. I couldn't reach my Marisol so she's not in the pics :(
In box. Her ugly collar thing says 816:
I lined up the shoulders, though it's hard to tell in the picture:
Lined up the balls of their feet:
She has an extra joint in her arms (besides the double elbow joint). I don't get this joint but whatever. The joint under the bust seems unnecessary. It makes it weird to put her upright in her stand:
She also has an extra joint in her legs besides the double knee joint. I do understand this one, it lets her legs rotate like the original dolls without weakening the knees.
ETA: I was told the arm joints are where you take her arms off because you can't pull them apart at the elbow. Makes sense!

She is huge!!!!! So much bigger than I thought!!!! Thanks for the pics!
great pics :) and I'm so glad you did a foot comparison! I'm still waiting for my gooliope to arrive and was planning on doing the same thing hehe
I need her. Does she come with a Gooliope-sized stand? What's her price look like?
Added pictures of the stand. I used a regular pink stand for contrast :)
I love love love her! I got one to take out of the box and fool around with and one to keep in the box. I have a feeling she'll be a famous doll one day.
I got two also :) I tend to get two of the dolls I think are "special"

The environment structure is a vital part of the Maria Montessori way of life. Each age group has their own environment that is tailored to their individual and collective developmental needs. Each environment is organized specifically for the interests of the age group. Materials are provided with little dedicated instruction, allowing for independent exploration. The environment consists of a variety of workspaces for the children to explore, and the children are encouraged to use these workspaces as a space to discover the materials within the classroom. There are no set desks or designated spaces where children must perform a specific activity. Rather, children are allowed to learn in a way they feel is most natural whether it is alone at a table, with an instructor on a rug, or peer-to-peer in an outdoor space.
Dr. Montessori believed that the 0-3 year age group was the most important period of development for children, and modern science agrees. This means the environment in which these children learn is especially important. AMI-accredited Montessori schools offer several environments for this age group.
First, some schools offer classes for parents and toddlers together that focus on how the parent can create an environment that supports the development of their child. There are "Nido" environments for children between the ages of 2 months and 14 months that are made specifically for children who cannot yet walk.
Finally, there are "toddler communities," which is the youngest environment we offer at Maria Montessori School. Toddler communities consist of children from 18 months to 3 years of age. These environments are divided into five parts: practical life, language, large movement, hand-eye coordination and creative expression. This is where our young children learn how to take care of themselves, their environment and each other. In toddler communities, we focus heavily on using social context to develop independence through language and movement. Students learn how to interact cooperatively with other young children through courtesy and direct conversation. Members of our toddler communities are immediately introduced to a respect for individuality, as instructors consider the unique personalities of each student.
All Montessori age group environments highlight the individuality of every child, promote a self-
corrective learning style, foster positive cognitive and social development, all while creating in
the children a sense of community and appreciation for the world around them.

United States District Court, D. Utah
November 13, 2018
WENDY JO ROMERO, Plaintiff,v.OFFICE OF RECOVERY SERVICES, Defendant.
Warner Judge.
Pro se
plaintiff Wendy Jo Romero, proceeding in forma pauperis
("IFP"), initiated this action against Utah's
Office of Recovery Services ("ORS")[1] and several of
its employees on January 21, 2016. (ECF No. 3). As required
by the IFP statute, Magistrate Judge Warner screened the
complaint and issued an order on September 16, 2016, finding
that it failed to state a claim upon which relief can be
granted. (ECF No. 9). He also granted Ms. Romero leave to
amend to address the deficiencies identified in that order.
October 14, 2016, Ms. Romero filed her amended complaint.
(ECF No. 10). On October 14, 2018, Magistrate Judge Warner
issued a Report and Recommendation that Ms. Romero's
amended complaint be dismissed with prejudice on grounds that
it again failed to state a claim upon which relief can be
granted. (ECF No. 11). Ms. Romero filed a timely objection to
that Report and Recommendation, (ECF No. 13), and as a
result, the court "must determine de novo"
whether her objections have merit. Fed R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3).
screening an IFP complaint, "the court shall dismiss
the case at any time if the court determines that . . . the
action or appeal . . . fails to state a claim on which relief
may be granted[.]" 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii).
"A court reviewing the sufficiency of a complaint
presumes all of [the] plaintiff's factual allegations are
true and construes them in the light most favorable to the
plaintiff." Hall v. Bellmon, 935 F.2d 1106,
1109 (10th Cir. 1991). Legal conclusions "are not
entitled to the assumption of truth" but "must be
supported by factual allegations." Ashcroft v.
Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 679 (2009). Although detailed
factual allegations are not required, "a complaint must
contain sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to
'state a claim to relief that is plausible on its
face.'" Id. at 678 (quoting Bell Atl.
Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570 (2007)). A claim is
plausible when the plaintiff has pleaded "factual
content that allows the court to draw the reasonable
inference that the defendant is liable for the misconduct
alleged." Id.
Romero does not object to a specific portion of Magistrate
Judge Warner's Report and Recommendation. Rather, she
asserts that her complaint generally states a claim for
relief, directing the court to review "pages 2 thru
27" for "the listed events" that give rise
to her claim.[2]She also restates her allegations that
"ORS (defendant) thru employees has chosen to show
unfair, discrimination, improper actions, to the plaintiff,
for many years[.]"
more confusion to Ms. Romero's objection to dismissal,
however, is that she also requests the "transfer of
this case to a lower court (Third District Court)[.]"
Of course, having originated in this court, there is no
mechanism by which her case may be transferred to a state
forum. However, to the extent that this order is not found to
have preclusive effect by Utah's Third District Court,
she remains free to initiate an action in that forum.
address Ms. Romero's broad objection to the Report and
Recommendation, the court conducts a brief review thereof.
Judge Warner construed Ms. Romero's complaint to allege
claims against ORS and its employees under 42 U.S.C.
§§ 1983 and 1985 for religious and gender
discrimination. Magistrate Judge Warner analyzed the
viability of the claims against the employees in their
individual and official capacities. As to claims against ORS
(an arm of the state of Utah) as well as claims against ORS
employees in their official capacities (functionally suits
against ORS), Magistrate Judge Warner found that Ms.
Romero's complaint was barred by sovereign immunity,
given that she seeks money damages. And even if Utah elected
to waive its immunity, the Supreme Court has made clear that
the 42d Congress, in enacting the Civil Rights Act of
1871-which created the enforcement provisions of §§
1983 and 1985-did not include states within the definition of
"persons" liable under these provisions. See
Will v. Mich. Dep't of State Police, 491 U.S. 58, 71
Judge Warner further found that to the extent Ms. Romero
intended to sue ORS employees in their individual capacities,
those employees enjoy qualified immunity. Conducting a
qualified immunity analysis, Magistrate Judge Warner found
that that the facts in the complaint, accepted as true, did
not establish a constitutional violation because
"[w]hile Plaintiff recites many facts about the
handling of her case by ORS and the Individual Defendants,
she makes no connection between those facts and her religious
affiliation." He concluded that, aside from conclusory
statements that Ms. Romero experienced discrimination, the
complaint contained insufficient factual allegations to
support her claim for relief.
because Ms. Romero had already been given leave to amend to
attempt to state a cognizable claim, Magistrate Judge Warner
concluded that the amended complaint should be dismissed with
reviewed the applicable law and Ms. Romero's amended
complaint de novo, the court agrees with Magistrate Judge
Warner that, for the reasons above, that complaint fails to
state a claim upon which relief can be granted. The court
further finds that in light of Ms. Romero's failure to
address the legal and factual ...

An exclusive sky safari that incorporates northern Tanzania's highlights. From the national parks of Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater to the unique game viewing of Serengeti National Park.
There are more wild land mammals in Tanzania than anywhere else in Africa. This is the home of the great wildebeest migration, the epic Serengeti plains, Ngorongoro Crater, Mount Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar. It has world wonders too evocative to imagine. Every safari in Tanzania takes on superlative proportions. It's surreal, sublime, and the safari experience of a lifetime.
What To Expect On A Tanzania Safari
Tanzania safaris are all about scale. You don't see an elephant but a huge herd. It's not a lone wildebeest, it's hundreds of thousands of them. On a Tanzania safari you end up being centerstage in an epic wildlife theatre, with animals stretching out in all directions. Nowhere else has as much life and the wildlife abundance is simply staggering. But it's not all about quantity. Quality is equally a highlight, from a beautiful camp to small details revealed only to you.
Let's first indulge on the scale. Tanzania is home to the great wildebeest migration, with more than 2 million mammals making an annual journey around the Serengeti. That 2 million is in addition to all the year round residents. This is one of Africa's largest countries and has many of the continent's largest game reserves and national parks. You need a lot of wilderness to support lots of animals and Tanzania is on another level compared to its neighbours.
So the many wildebeest and zebra are just one reason a Tanzania safari is superb for spotting the big cats. Predators are numerous and encountering lions is part of the everyday. Then there's a sundry cast of elephants, hippos, giraffe, buffalo and various antelope. Other than a lucky encounter in Ngorongoro it's unlikely you will see any rhinos. Still, we think that a population of over 4 million wild mammals more than compensates for missing one from the big five.
Having so many reserves and wildernesses offer you lots of choice. There is safari all over the country, although most visitors head straight for the famous northern circuit, consisting of the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and Lake Manyara. You can easily visit two or more of these destinations as they are contiguous with each other. Another option lies to the south, where Ruaha and Selous provide a really wild off the beaten track safari. Other destinations on safari wish lists are trekking with chimpanzees in the Mahale Mountains, plus going off the beaten track in Katavi National Park.
Most of Tanzania's safari destinations have the same basic appeal: a huge number of animals and the opportunity to see how they behave and interact with each other. We can advise you about different parks, not just the animals that live there but the types of activities and experiences you can enjoy. With most safaris you go direct from park to park, so you become fully tuned with the animal kingdom.
Beyond the animals there is more wonder to discover. Mount Kilimanjaro is located in Tanzania and trekking to its summit takes six or seven days. Added to this is an extra little treat: Zanzibar. The postcard-perfect island is part of Tanzania, located just off the coast in the Indian Ocean. The island is a perfect place to relax before or after a safari. Just lounge around the white beaches and soak up all the tranquility. Most visitors prefer the beach break after the safari. If you've been really stressed then consider doing it the other way around.
Tanzania Safari Highlights
- Experience the great wildebeest migration on a safari in the Serengeti, any month from October to June.
- Explore the evocative wildlife Eden of Ngorongoro Crater, discovering what resides inside the world's largest intact volcanic caldera.
- Escape to white sand and bask in paradise, with Zanzibar providing so many options for a beach break.
- Discover how lions climb trees with a safari in picturesque Lake Manyara.
- Meet with elephant herds and baobab trees, just two highlights to a Tanzania safari in Tarangire.
- Go off the beaten track with a three-day safari in Ruaha, an adventurist's paradise.

Fascinating Facts
- Mount Kilimanjaro is located in Tanzania. At 19,341 feet above sea level, it is the largest mountain in Africa.
- Moping trees, commonly seen in Tanzania are the most expensive hardwood tree in the world.
- Tanzania is the home of the coconut crab. This crab, the largest crab in the world (and reportedly one of the most delicious), can be found on Chumbe Island of Zanzibar.
- The world's earliest human skull was found in the Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania.
- Tanzania shares its national anthem with South Africa and Zimbabwe. It's titled "Mungu Ibariki Afrika" (God Bless Africa) and was composed by Enock Sontonga.
- Tanganyika, a British-controlled UN trust territory, gained independence in 1961; and Zanzibar, a British protectorate with an Arab population, became independent in 1963. Tanganyika and Zanzibar united to form Tanzania in 1964.
Places to Visit On A Tanzania Safari
The Serengeti
Probably the most famous of all Africa's safari destinations, the Serengeti is home to the great wildebeest migration. Animals carpet this epic grassland, mostly wildebeest, zebra and Thomson's gazelle. Every year the herds travel in search of fresh pastures, providing food for a complete menagerie of predators: the Serengeti is a wonderful place to view lion, leopard, hyena and cheetah. Given the size of the park and the number of animals you need at least 48 hours here, ideally 72. Different parts of the park are better at different months of the year. We will guide you through the options dependent on when you want to travel.
Tarangire and Lake Manyara Tanzania Safari
These two lovely parks are an excellent first place to come on safari in northern Tanzania. They are both on route to Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. Tarangire is filled with large elephant herds, along with unusual animals that are hard to see elsewhere. In Lake Manyara the highlights include massive baboon troops and tree-climbing lions. As with everywhere else in Tanzania, both parks have too many animals to list here. We'd recommend 24 hours in one, or 48 hours so you can visit both. That allows for an afternoon and morning game drive, so you'll get a good feel for the atmosphere.
Mount Kilimanjaro
Majestic Kilimanjaro is the world's highest freestanding mountain. It rises 5895 metres above the East African plains, with its volcanic peak covered in snow all year around. Climbing Kilimanjaro is the challenge of a lifetime, one made famous by various celebrities who climbed it for Comic Relief. It's not easy. Kilimanjaro is a tough mountain and not everyone makes the summit. We can advise you on the different routes, including those that have the highest success rates. Five and six-day routes have poor altitude acclimatisation and less than half make it. For seven and eight-day routes the success rate climbs to over 90%.
This idolised island is located in Tanzania. It is a beach paradise and you can find out more on our detailed Zanzibar page. Traveling between safari destinations and Zanzibar is relatively straightforward and we can advise you on different options.
Mahale and Gombe
These two remote national parks are a challenge to get to, located in the far west of Tanzania. Both have the same highlight: trekking with chimpanzees. If that experience is on your bucket list then we can tell you more. If not then focus on Tanzania's other destinations instead.
Ngorongoro Crater
This ancient volcanic caldera is home to 30,000 animals and just about all the famous species. It's a wildlife Eden. Hippos grunt as a black rhino marches past. Flamingo cover one lake as elephants drink from another. Lions chase zebra as buffalo march across the trails. You only need to spend one day in Ngorongoro. We highly recommend staying as close to the crater rim as possible, definitely somewhere within Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This allows you to be one of the first vehicles on the crater floor when it opens in the morning. After a six-hour game drive you leave the crater and can move on to a neighbouring destination like the Serengeti.
Ruaha Game Reserve
A hidden gem of African travel, Ruaha is roughly the same size of Wales. This is pure wilderness, where buffalo fight with lions and you spot packs of wild dogs in the grass. Fortunately, wildlife is relatively easy to find as it sticks close to the mighty Ruaha River. Game drives can be combined with game walks as you gain a really immersive safari experience. Allow at least three days here and expect to see very few other visitors. Note that Ruaha is in the south of the country and you need a flight to combine it with the Serengeti.
Selous Game Reserve
Africa's largest game reserve is a great place to try all the different safari activities. Cruise along the river, walk in elephant country, then go on game drives during the day and night. Almost all the famous animals are found here and there is quite an abundance. Do note that large parts of Selous are gazetted as private hunting reserves , so it's very important to choose a camp as far away from these as possible.
Two days would be ideal here, giving you time to experience all the animals and activities.
Mikumi and Katavi Parks
Very few people know about these two large national parks. And we like to keep them a little secretive as well. Their infrastructure for safari has only recently been set up and the parks don't receive many visitors. This makes both Mikumi and Katavi good places to experience wildlife that's completely unchanged by human behaviour. Thousand-strong buffalo herds battle with lions in Katavi, while Mikumi feels like a small version of the Serengeti.
Pemba Island
North of Zanzibar, the large island of Pemba has a unique charm. The coral reefs and small barrier islands surrounding Pemba protect a multitude of marine species. The waters off its shores are superb for diving and deep-sea fishing. Whales, sharks and manta rays are often seen in the deeper channels.
The Manta Resort has gained popularity for its 'underwater' bedroom, with the lounge and deck area above water level. The other two main resorts on Pemba Island are the Aiyana and Fundu Lagoon.

Key Tanzania Safari Considerations
Tanzania is a wonderfully easy country to travel in. For such a big country it's easy to get around, especially if you utilize local safari flights. For the Serengeti and the northern circuit, we recommend flying into Kilimanjaro International. Destinations in southern Tanzania are best accessed via Dar es Salaam.
It's important to allow enough time for a Tanzania safari. While it is possible to spend just a couple of days in the wilderness, the safari experience will really grow on you. The more time you have the stronger your connection to the landscape and wildlife. Spend five days or more and a safari is very relaxing as well: being surrounded by nothing but animals does wonders for the soul.
The Best Time for a Tanzania Safari
Tanzania safaris are possible most months of the year. January to March is the dry season, with peak game viewing conditions across the whole country. April and May see rain, with many of the roads and camps becoming inaccessible: these months should be avoided if you can. From June onwards it begins to dry up again. By September the landscape waits for rain: there's nowhere for animals to hide and a safari is very easy. Although October to December brings some rain this shouldn't be off-putting.
Tips for the Great Wildebeest Migration
One highlight of the great wildebeest migration is that you can experience it every month of the year. We don't believe there is a bad time to go: 2 million mammals don't just suddenly vanish. Instead, experiencing this spectacle is all about being in the right place at the right time. Visit from December to March and we recommend the southeastern Serengeti plains, in and around an area called Ndutu. For April to June, a camp in the centre of the park is best, so you can easily react to distinct migratory movements. Stick to the north of the Serengeti and Masai Mara for July to September, then the center and east for the final months of the year.
Many people ask us whether they will see the migration. We make sure everyone can witness the spectacle, using local advice so everyone stays on the wildebeests' path dependent on the time they visit.
Planning a Tanzania Safari
With so much to choose from it's easy to be overwhelmed by a Tanzania safari. Where do you start? Where will the migration be? How do you combine Zanzibar and the Serengeti? These are the questions we know very well. For over a decade we've been customizing safaris to Tanzania and other places in Africa. Through a personal consultation, we can discuss what is best for your interests and style of travel. There's so much to experience here and we make sure that you don't miss out.

1. Petition for maintenance was carried by Gary Woods.
2. The Ernest Scipio Drain empties into the Big Creek Ditch.
Board Member Heimlich made a motion to accept the Petition for Maintenance on the Ernest Scipio Drain #579. Board Member Diener seconded the motion. Motion carried.
Next on the agenda-Brad Stockment from Co-Alliance-Regarding Relocating a Portion of the Kleyla Branch of the Esther Fraser Drain #535
Surveyor Ward: This drain was moved in 2006 and they would like to move it further north.
Brad Stockment: Actually we would like to move it just about where it was before. That is a proposed bin between the one that is there now and the relocated ditch. We would like to relocate it and use a different design where we could use concrete tile taking advantage of a minimum set back as we can to the existing bin. There is an existing drain between the rail road track and the passing track. That is on grade with the CSX track and the passing track. After much conversation on the best way to approach their project the board advised Brad Stockment to do more research on their proposed project. Get an engineered site plan, a drainage plan and relocation plan of what they are going to do or what they are planning to build. This would save Co-Alliance money and time in the future. Chairman Burton stated that with figures and facts from Co-Alliance on what you are looking for. There is no stop sign that we are not going to allow you do to anything. Board Member Heimlich said that he would stop in at the Co-Alliance site to look at what they are trying to do.
Other Discussions:
1. Surveyor Ward: He had talked to Tony Cain today regarding the Victor Tile, Dave Kent area.
Tony was sent a work order to camera the tile and he said half the tile there is half of what it is should be. Just guessing Surveyor Ward said we will be looking at doing a project on that tile. Surveyor Ward said he ran some quick numbers on it and thought the project would be close to one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00).
2. Just for the record Surveyor Ward met with Frank Gick regarding a civil matter on his drainage.
This is a private matter and family matter. Chairman Burton has also talked to Mr. Gick on this same matter.
3. Chairman Burton asked Sharon Watson of White County Soil and Water about developing a water
way on the Ferguson Tile. Chairman Burton had talked to Jim Blake regarding the Ferguson Tile. Mr. Blake asked if it was possible to do some surface drainage and involve Soil and Water. Chairman Burton asked for some feed-back to see if a project like that is even possible. Sharon answered that he could come in and request to get engineering done but they probably would not paid for it. It is possible they would pay for part of it. Chairman Burton said that he would tell Jim Blake to stop by Soil and Water to talk about this project with her.
4. John Heimlich told the Surveyor about two (2) beaver dams on the Clarence Bossung Ditch.
Surveyor Ward will send out a work order to the trapper. Board Member Heimlich would also like for the Surveyor to check on a pipe that is back where the dams are located. Possibly this pipe was not put in correctly.
Chairman Burton adjourned the May 6, 2013 White County Drainage Board Meeting.

Jarrett Dunning
Enticed by the way power is used in our society, Jarrett is determined to expand upon his research in graduate school and to pass on his knowledge to future political theory students.
With a major in philosophy, politics, and economics (PPE), Jarrett is attending graduate school at the University of Chicago to study Political Science and plans to receive his Ph.D. in political theory with the long-term goal of holding a professorship. During graduate school he plans to expand upon his honors thesis work which critically engages the causes of faction and more specifically, the various uses of power in the ordering, structure, and maintenance of human interaction. Following an intellectual tradition encompassing thinkers as diverse as Locke, Von Mises, Weber, and Foucault, he hopes to explore the power dynamics between the individual and the state and interrogate the corollaries of power as a result of social class, economic status, and the structure of state institutions. This inquiry into the nature of power also extends to the origins of political order, social contract theory and the function of private property in society.
As far as his hobbies go, Jarrett is a well–established bibliophile. He said, "I am known to stay up late into the night hunting the internet for that one rare or out-of-print edition that I can't keep off my mind, or travel out of my way to visit obscure, used bookstores in hopes of coming across that next great find." While attending graduate school, Jarrett also works as a Program Assistant for The Hermon Dunlap Smith Center for the History of Cartography at the Newberry Library. As the world's largest private research library, working at The Newberry has been an excellent opportunity for the expansion of Jarrett's career and research interest.

Q: What advice would you give to first–year Honors Scholars?
A: My advice to the first year Honors Scholars is to make every summer count. One of the most valuable things that I did during my time as an undergraduate was to have a research/career oriented position each summer. One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to graduate college with a blank résumé.

The students' union action committee, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-ife, has called for aggressive campaign against armed security agents on the campus.
Chairman of the committee, Dunnex Samuel, in a letter argued that the presence of the armed security agents will create tension and anxiety in the university environment.
The action committee expressed concern that the arrangement will encourage all form of abuse, harassment and intimidation.
"Such approach will make it even difficult to verify the identity of the security to be held responsible in any attack and the hoodlums terrorising the campus community may also disguising to perpetrate attacks in the campus. As it is now, the cases of assault on students for alleged indecent dressing are at an alarming rate and armed security will just complicate the matter." The committee said.
The committee explained that experiences from other campuses operating armed private security are not palatable and the university authority must learn from those experiences.
It would be recall that there was a shooting in the new market area of the university few days ago and those behind the attack could not be identified and the university authority is yet to brief the public about the incident.

New CEO selected for hospitals in Indianapolis, Mooresville and Carmel
|Robert J. Brody
INDIANAPOLIS – Franciscan Alliance has named Robert J. Brody Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for Ambulatory Services for its entire healthcare ministry, which operates 13 hospitals and numerous outpatient facilities in Indiana and Illinois.
Brody, who has served as President and CEO for Franciscan St. Francis Health since 1996, will begin his new duties July 1, 2015.
During his tenure, Brody spearheaded countless expansion and quality initiatives making Franciscan Alliance's Central Indiana Region one of the elite healthcare providers in Indiana and the nation. He expanded the system from a single acute care hospital to three institutions in Indianapolis, Mooresville and Carmel.
He directed a $300 million expansion and renovation that included the consolidation of Beech Grove inpatient services to the expanded Indianapolis campus in 2012. He also oversaw the creation of Franciscan St. Francis Heart Center and expanded cancer and women services. Brody also engineered the merger of Kendrick Hospital into Franciscan Alliance and built a short-stay hospital in Carmel.
Most recently, Brody worked to establish Franciscan St. Francis Hospice House, a free-standing center on the Indianapolis hospital campus that will open in September 2015.
In his new role, Brody will be responsible for all free-standing ambulatory services and direct the Franciscan Physician Network, which includes more than 750 physicians and nurse practitioners in Indiana, Illinois and Michigan.
Sister Jane Marie Klein, OSF, chairperson of the Franciscan Alliance Board of Trustees, says the corporation is eager to see Brody share his unique skill set with others within the system.
"As president and CEO, Bob Brody distinguished Franciscan St. Francis Health as a premier hospital system in a market that has many providers," Sister Jane Marie said. "Bob has been a wonderful leader in every way. He is intuitive in understanding what our patients want and works tirelessly to meet those needs and exceed expectations."
Franciscan Alliance also has appointed James Callaghan, M.D. the new President and Chief Executive Officer of Franciscan facilities in Indianapolis, Mooresville and Carmel effective July 1, 2015.
Since 2008, Dr. Callaghan has served as president of Franciscan St. Anthony Health in
Michigan City, Ind. During his tenure, Dr. Callaghan launched a host of initiatives designed to bring healthcare closer to the community, including construction of a world-class cancer treatment center in Michigan City and a free-standing emergency department, diagnostic center and physician office complex in Chesterton.
Dr. Callaghan began his career with Franciscan Alliance by completing his residency in family practice medicine in Indianapolis at Franciscan St. Francis. Upon completion, he started his family practice career in Michigan City and went on to serve as Chief Medical Officer, Chief Operating Officer and eventually Chief Executive Officer at Franciscan St. Anthony Health.
These appointments are part of Franciscan Alliance's overall strategic restructuring, which is aimed at building a strongly aligned system of care that standardizes clinical and operational functions to successfully meet the challenges of health care reform, and better position its institutions to deliver quality care.
"Our new management model is intended to ensure consistency, promote the implementation of best practices, and achieve the triple aim of providing better care, better health, and lower costs for those whom we are privileged to serve," said Franciscan Alliance CEO Kevin Leahy.

Brown's Arcade: An Innovative C-PACE Project in the City of Baltimore
The owners of the historic Brown's Arcade use C-PACE financing to preserve one the City of Baltimore's most iconic addresses.
BALTIMORE, Md. – The MD-PACE program is proud to announce that the City of Baltimore has executed another commercial property assessed (C-PACE) financing project with a building of immense importance and historical significance: Brown's Arcade, located in downtown Baltimore at 322-328 N Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21202.
C-PACE financing is a property-backed financing mechanism which covers the costs of implementing energy efficiency improvements. It is a source of private capital that commercial property owners use to fund these projects, which they are then able to repay through the property tax bill. C-PACE financing is available through the MD-PACE program, which is sponsored by the Maryland Clean Energy Center and administered by PACE Financial Servicing, both of which continue to make tremendous impacts on bettering the Maryland's physical and economic environments.
Brown's Arcade is currently a mixed-use commercial building encompassing both retail and business offices. It was constructed in the 18th century and is therefore listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, but this is not the only thing that makes it so unique. It is the only building of its kind left in the City of Baltimore, and the last known building of its kind in the state. Its historic roots shine through in embellished Colonial Revival details, which help to keep the history of Baltimore alive. C-PACE allowed for energy efficiency improvements that will help Brown's Arcade thrive for years to come.
According to Kelvin Fu, a Partner and Co-Founder at GL Capital, LLC, a local real estate investor and developer focused on multifamily, student housing and mixed-used properties, "We are very excited about this opportunity to re-position and transform this historic building with new retail concepts and multifamily apartments in downtown Baltimore alongside our recent acquisition of Brown's Loft which sits on the same 300 block of N Charles Street. This is our first time utilizing C-PACE and we are delighted to have this building take part in such an extensive improvement, as it will function better and more efficiently, and allow for a cleaner, healthier environment. We could not have done this without the support of FVC Bank and Greenworks Lending. I am looking forward to seeing what else C-PACE will be able to provide in continuing these improvements across Maryland."
This historic gem in the middle of Baltimore's metropolitan area illustrates the impressive possibilities of C-PACE, which financed numerous energy efficient upgrades. These upgrades included water conservation measures, building enclosure improvements, lighting replacements, and new automated building & HVAC controls. The combination of new LED lighting, low flow plumbing fixtures, increased wall insulation, and new air handling units all contribute to this building's new path of clean energy utilization, and significant energy bill savings.
This project was made possible by Greenworks Lending, one of the several nationally active C-PACE capital providers. Through C-PACE financing, these capital providers can provide 100% funding of eligible measures, competitive rates, and loan terms up to 20-30 years which allow for energy efficient development to occur. Their services allow for these C-PACE projects to transpire, leading to more jobs, a healthier environment, and increased economic activity.
Brown's Arcade marks the 24th C-PACE project in Maryland, leading to a more sustainable future for the state's building stock. The historic aspects of this building allow for the recognition of how mixing the past with the today's technologies can showcase innovation at it's finest.

Title: Gray Back Alpha Bear
Series: Gray Back Bears #2
Author: T. S. Joyce
Published: August 8, 2015
My Rating: 4.5 stars
Source: Kindle Unlimited
Cover Description:
Creed Barnett has one simple rule—no potential mates allowed in his territory. As if there isn't enough on his shoulders trying to manage his crew of misfit, broken bear shifters, his past is now coming back to haunt him. And when the woman he hasn't been able to stop thinking about for the past five months shows up in his trailer park, he's re-thinking all the rules he set up to protect the Gray Backs. Gia is a curvy stunner, but his interest in the bombshell goes deeper than her good looks. She's sweet, and fun, and puts his inner bear at ease in a way no other woman has managed. But Gia has also brought trouble to his territory that will turn his life upside down.
Gia Cromwell's life is ruined. She's lost everything she used to value about herself and has nowhere to turn but to the man who started her downfall in the first place. She fully expects the sexy, reclusive bear shifter to turn her away just like everyone else in her life, but when he offers to be her protector instead, she'll have to fight hard to keep her walls up. She knows she isn't Creed's true mate, but that doesn't stop her huge crush. How can she not fall head over heels for him? Creed is easy on the eyes, sure, but he has a heart of gold and a protective streak a mile wide for the people he cares about. Now she just has to figure out whether his interest is genuine, or if they're both in this for all the wrong reasons.
Sexy shifters and their feisty mates who aren't shy about loving each other – so, this is an adult, 18+ reader tale.

We're Back
The picture is of some of the crowd at the Assemblies of God national council. Most of the people on the floor of the stadium are newly-commissioned missionaries. There were about 8,000 of us at Conseco Field House, and another 12,000 young people (YAY!) at the RCA dome.
It was an interesting time. The music and the preaching were great. There was humility and grace, not a few tears--and some very straightforward messages about what must change. During the business sessions I found myself angry, frustrated, deeply disappointed, hopeful and rejoicing, all in a matter of a few hours! Is it any wonder I'm tired? ;-)
In a historic move, we have elected out first African American to one of the executive offices (there are six). The Rev. Zollie Smith, New Jersey, was elected to serve as the Executive Director of National [the USA] Missions. It is already evident that he and his wife, Phyllis, will bring new viewpoints and "flavor" to headquarters. As the election results were announced, I rejoice to report that the Smith's received a long, loud, and enthusiastic standing ovation.
Are you are wondering why in the world this is so important, or why it is only happening now? In our formative days at the beginning of the 1900s, the white portion of the newly-forming church primarily became the Assemblies of God and the black portion primarily became The Church of God in Christ. In addition to the racial makeup of the two church bodies, one was largely rural and the other was largely urban. We had "people of color" among our AG clergy ranks, but they were few. The Hispanic churches within the Assemblies of God are experiencing significant growth, and in recent years specific steps were taken to broaden leadership to specifically include minorities.
After nearly 100 years, the divide that occurred seems to be closing. Thanks be to God!
DP, Ken and I did eat at Agios...mmmmm mmmmmm! Thanks for the tip! QP, I saw Mark, but only at a distance so never actually spoke with him. He was nominated for national office, but he declined, saying he believes he is to stay at Southeastern University.
I have more to share, but first I need rest and time to ponder. It is good to sleep in my own bed. I think I'll head there now...gotta preach in the morning.

You were on my heart a lot the past few days Dorcas. Sounds like it was overall good.

This is a historic moment indeed!! I'm so glad things are moving and shaking in the A/G. Did you see Debbie Gill? If so, how is she doing? I'm assuming at least one of my uncles was there. Please share more as you have energy and time. Glad you're back safely!!
- Dorcas (aka SingingOwl) said...
Debbie Gill was not present. I wish she had been, because there were two resolutions that she would have spoken to far more eloquently than I did! I did not see either uncle, except probably I did and just did not know it. I noted no badges with the right last name. ;-) I will share more later today.

I watched part of the discussion on those resolutions. Would have liked to see Dr. Gill address the issues. Not sure if I saw you speak or not, I had too many little ones distracting me.

Molly is amazing! So patient with tons of experience and she truly does have the patience to find you the best option for what you're looking for and for your budget. Unfortunately we have yet to book through Molly for our dream vacation but we will! Even knowing we weren't able to go on a trip within the next 12 months she was so patient and fast response times with all the research of resorts, flights etc. If you've never been out of the country (like us) to these resorts and locations you'll want her expertise for sure!!!Sent on 03/30/2018
Reesey · Married on 06/28/2017
Molly helped recommend, organize, book, and communicate with all of our guests for a destination wedding in Mexico. She did a phenomenal job every step of the way. She was very responsive to questions, communicated info regarding all of our guests during the booking process, and provided everyone with great service. Everything turned out perfectly - flight, transportation to/from resort, and the resort itself. I would highly recommend using Molly as your travel agent.Sent on 08/04/2017
Danielle · Married on 07/16/2016
Molly was SO extremely helpful and attentive. She was timely with her responses and made sure to check in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. She even checked in while we were on our trip to make sure we were having a great time! Jamaica is beautiful and sandals is fantastic. We can't wait to go back and will definitely come back to Molly for booking!Sent on 07/23/2016

I was taken by this article about how the political system works in Sweden (see link below) as it fits well with my own views about how we in the UK pour far too much money into our MP's pockets!
We have in effect put MP's on a pedestal and made them a political elite disconnected from our real world. In turn this has created professional politicians with a sense of entitlement who govern in the interests of their political parties rather than the interests of the UK.
Despite all the hype around the MP's expenses scandal of a few years ago little has actually changed – they're paid too much, allowed to claim too much in expenses, have far too may assistants paid for by the public purse.
Unless we learn from the likes of Sweden we will continue to governed poorly and expensively.

MinyakWTIBrentMinyak MentahOil,
Oil prices edged higher in Asian trade on Thursday after days of turbulence, with markets soothed by Saudi Arabia's pledge to restore full production by end-September at facilities knocked out in drone and missile attacks last weekend.
Brent crude futures rose 8 cents to $63.68 a barrel by 05:07 GMT while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude was up 14 cents to $58.25 a barrel.
The steadying of nerves, after a 14.6% jump in Brent prices on Monday - the contract's biggest one-day percentage gain since at least 1988 - came after Saudi Arabia set out the timeline to full operation, and also said it had managed to restore supplies to customers at levels prior to the attacks by drawing from its oil inventories.
Saudi Arabia, the world's leading oil exporter, has said the crippling attack on its oil sites was "unquestionably sponsored" by bitter regional rival Iran. U.S. President Donald Trump said there were many options short of war with Iran and added that he had ordered the U.S. Treasury to "substantially increase sanctions" on Tehran. Iran has denied involvement in the strikes.

Three things that will happen if you attend our next beach cleanup on 9/15 at Ideal Beach in Keansburg…
1) You will get a drawstring backpack – pictured below – from the Sea Hear Now Festival – first 100 participants only. This backpack is of the size and type allowed into the festival. Larger packs and packs with more than one compartment will not be allowed into the festival.
2) You will be eligible to volunteer at the Sea Hear Now Festival in Asbury Park on Sept 29th or 30th, or both! Thirty bands, surfing, art, and tons of fun! Our volunteers will be helping attendees recycle and reduce waste. Volunteering for a 4-hour shift will give you an all-day pass to the festival. We are not giving this fantastic volunteer opportunity to just anybody. But if you show up to our next beach cleanup you may be eligible (while volunteer spots last).
3) You will get a chance to win two free passes to the festival – no volunteering necessary – and this will include seeing the Jack Johnson's performance from the "best seats in the house" which means you'll be on the side of the stage with Jack and the band. That prize will be drawn near the end of the cleanup on site!
The cleanup is this Saturday! Facebook Event here – https://www.facebook.com/
See you there then!

What strikes me about Jeweled Rose 2 Fine Jewelry Shop on Etsy, is the attention to details from the jewelry, to the shop policies. Everything is well thought out in a professional way with the focus on the customer.
We got to talk to the owner, Lori, about her shop, vintage jewelry and her journey to an online business owner.
Margie: Hi, Lori. Let's start with what or who first got you interested in vintage jewelry?
Lori: When I was a teenager, I was involved in theater, the Renaissance Faire and a Victorian Christmas Fair. I made my own costumes and even went to fashion design school thinking I wanted to be a costume designer. These experiences made me interested in different time periods. After having a professional business career, I was drawn again to past times and jewelry became my focus.
Margie: So, how and why did you get started collecting Vintage Jewelry?
Lori: Oh my, I started collecting vintage jewelry almost 20 years ago. I'd just taken a new job that provided some extra income so was able to start investing that in antique and vintage pieces.
Margie: Lori, what type of jewelry did you buy? Is there a historic period or style that inspire you?
Lori: I prefer fine jewelry because it has a greater chance of maintaining its value over time and the value isn't as dependent on the maker of the piece. My favorite periods are Edwardian, Art Nouveau and Art Deco. I love how Edwardian jewelry is delicate and lacy and frequently uses both yellow and white metals together. I appreciate the beautiful lines of Art Nouveau jewelry and its use of yellow gold. Art Deco is very appealing because it works very well with modern clothing and frankly, as I grow wiser and grayer, the white metals compliment my coloring!
Margie: I am glad the wisdom comes with the gray hair! So, what pathways led you to open Jeweled Rose 2 on Etsy?
Lori: I originally had a shop on Ruby Lane but transitioned to Etsy. I thought Esty's pricing structure was more in alignment with my business.
Margie: Loli, Is there a story behind your shop's name, Jeweled Rose 2?
Lori: It's a practical story rather than an interesting one! I previously lived in California and you didn't have to have a 'doing business as' designation if your business name included part of your name. I wanted a name that reflected my focus on jewelry and wasn't already being used online, so I decided on Jeweled Rose. My (now closed) shop on Ruby Lane was named Jeweled Rose but when I opened my Etsy shop that name wasn't available, so I named it Jeweled Rose 2. I have an eBay presence as well for more modern and artisan jewelry, as well as other non-jewelry items, and that shop is called Jeweled Rose 3.
Margie: What is your favorite piece of jewelry in Jeweled Rose 2 and why?
Lori: The three stone trilogy engagement ring is my current favorite. This was a 'trade up' engagement ring for me as I started with a 'sweet' tiny diamond. Antique jewelry lovers seem to have no fear about upgrading and evolving their jewels over the years as their tastes change. This ring has an incredible old European cut diamond; I call it the Charlie Brown diamond because if you just look at its specs, you'd maybe not give it a second look, but what a show stopper in person. That diamond is a beautiful disco ball that faces up white and beautiful. I enjoy this aspect of antique jewelry…each piece is unique and special in its own way.
Margie: And the uniqueness is what also adds to its value. When you look for an item for Jeweled Rose 2, what are you looking for and where do you look?
Lori: I look for quality items at a reasonable price so that I can pass my savings along to my customers. I often purchase from sellers on eBay, Etsy, Ruby Lane, and Instagram.
Margie: You have a lot of beautiful fine vintage jewelry in Jeweled Rose 2. Is there one area you specialize in? And can you tell me why to pick that area? And do you have any advice for our readers about collecting that specialty?
I don't specialize in any area. I look for pieces that appeal to me and that are priced in a way that I can offer good value to my customer. As for collecting pieces, I think you should also buy what appeals to you at the price you are comfortable with and then upgrade your pieces later as your tastes and/or pocketbook change.
Margie: Lori, have you ever found any surprises after you bought something for Jeweled Rose 2?
Lori: My most unfortunate surprise was a diamond brooch that I purchased where the dealer vastly overstated the size of the diamond. I had purchased it to take the diamond out and re-purpose it and that is when I discovered the error. Unfortunately, I had altered the item. You learn from these mistakes. I ask a lot more questions now when working with a dealer I don't know.
Margie: We all have had those kinds of surprises. What other things would you like us to know about you and/or Jeweled Rose 2?
Lori: That I have been in business online for over ten years and I have had many repeat customers. It is important to me to offer my jewels at reasonable prices and to treat my customers with courtesy. I offer a return policy because I want you to love your new jewels! I try to offer things in all price ranges. For my most expensive pieces, I obtain appraisals from an antique jewelry appraiser to give my buyers confidence in their purchase.
Margie: I think this is a good idea. What led to your decision to get appraisals and how do you think this helps Jeweled Rose 2?
Lori: While I do a lot of research and utilize basic identification tools (such as a presidium gem tester), I am not a gemologist. I've had experiences over the years when I've been told something about a piece that turned out not to be true. I'm sure that some of these were honest mistakes, and for less expensive pieces, it has been part of the learning process. However, when I sell any of my high-end pieces, I want the buyer to know exactly what they are getting. This protects both of us from disappointment!
Margie: You have such strong business practices and wisdom. Which came first: your love for vintage items or the dream of having your own business?
Lori: I started collecting jewelry first. As I learned more about what I was buying, I kept upgrading my pieces until my personal jewelry box was overflowing (or as my co-worker once teased, my 'jewelry closet'). It seemed a natural step to start selling some pieces to finance other acquisitions.
Margie: Makes sense. A lot of our Vintage Jewelry Team Member get their start first as collectors. What do you like about having Jeweled Rose 2 on Etsy?
Lori: I like that it has wonderful teams that share interests! It is really helpful to be able to reach out and ask questions from others. I also like that Etsy passes along their shipping discounts and provides reasonably priced shipping insurance.
Margie: So much of selling vintage jewelry rests on research and sharing knowledge of a piece. Lori, from looking at your shop, you do your research. What have you found is your best source for information?
Lori: Books, books, books. Also the internet and making connections with others that love antique jewelry. Most dealers are passionate about what they do and love to share information. Lang Antiques in San Francisco has the most amazing jewelry and they also have wonderful online resources.
Margie: How do you market Jeweled Rose 2?
Lori: I have to confess that I am not a very good marketer. I've recently begun using Instagram. I'm envious of those of you who have mastered this tool! I like that platform because it allows you to use video and often times that is the best way for a customer to see a piece.
Margie: That's interesting. I never thought of doing that. We were happy to share one of your videos here.
Margie: Do you keep items on your site until they sell, or do you cycle them in and out?
Lori: I keep items in my shop until they sell. Antique and vintage jewelry is one of those things that you just need to wait for the right person to come along…you should fall in love with a piece (and then buy it).
Margie: Sometimes, It is hard to develop good customer service online. Is there something you do special for your customers and if so, what is it?
Lori: With the shipping notification I include a personal note and I put a receipt in the package. Customers like quick shipping and I also offer a reasonable return policy. These things are just the basics of good customer service.
Margie: The word professionalism means a lot of different things to different people. Lori, what does it mean to you and does your meaning reflect in your shop?
Lori: Professionalism to me means being polite and respectful of your customer, but maintaining your standards as well. As a small business owner, I can't offer 'forever' returns to my customers like Costco, but I do offer a return policy with a reasonable return window and no restocking fee. I recently sold a non-jewelry item (a vintage tea set) and one of the pieces was broken during transit. I had insured it but know this is a hassle for the customer, so I gave them the option of returning the set or a partial refund. Showing flexibility is an important part of professionalism as well.
Margie: I agree. Flexibility is one of the biggest tools small business owners have. Lori, what is the best advice you can give to someone else about selling vintage items?
Lori: I think it helps if you specialize in a certain time period. Customers like to know what to expect when they visit your shop. Unfortunately, I have a hard time with that since I love so many periods and price points. I guess my shop may not have the consistency of specializing in one period, but hopefully, it is interesting.
Margie: Your shop is interesting! What is the best advice anyone gave you about selling vintage items?
Lori: Be honest. You can't be expected to know everything…if you're not sure about something, say so and price it accordingly.
Margie: I think that's good advice for life in general. Lori, do you have a hint that you are willing to share with the team about buying for or selling on Etsy? If so, what is it?
Lori: The one thing I think I do differently from other sellers on Etsy is when someone wants a layaway I confirm all the details with my customer and then issue them PayPal invoices in alignment with the agreed upon plan. The invoices can be future dated and you can send them all at once so the customer can pay them as they come due (or even early). I think this helps with managing layaway terms consistently.
Margie: On your Shop's About page I read that you are a retired CPA and Finance Director. You also said that "I fell in love with antique and vintage jewelry. You have to take a break from spreadsheets every once in a while!" As an accountant and business owner, what basic records should online shop owners keep?
Lori: Shop owners should keep records for everything that they will use to complete their tax reporting. I don't have a complicated system, just file folders labeled "shop expenses" and "sales". I make sure to keep a paper copy in those files that I can put with my tax files. I'm very pro electronic files, but I find paper works best for me in this case. Also, I use Quicken. It makes it easy to run reports about my sales and expenses on a regular basis. Inventory records are the most challenging thing to maintain. I record each purchase in Quicken classifying it by the type of jewelry it is (rings, earrings, etc.) with as much information as I know on the piece. I haven't mastered Etsy's new reporting system yet…when I do that may be the subject of another article!
Margie: That would be a great article. Our readers would love it!
Lori, it has been nice to talk to you and touch on the business end of selling vintage jewelry online. You've got some wonderful ideas and it shows in your shop, in your long-term online success, and your repeat customers. Attention to details has paid off for you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us.

There are few labels in sports more disheartening than "rebuilding year." Arlington Martin is not and never will be OK with carrying such a label. Not as long as Ruth Knight remains its coach.
If there ever were a time to slap the label's adhesive on a program's identity, this would be the year for the Lady Warriors. Martin will enter the upcoming season without its all-time leading goal scorer, Amanda Burgardt, the 2010 Star-Telegram Super Team Player of the Year who scored 31 goals her senior season to finish with 100 on her career. She now plays for SMU.
The Lady Warriors will also be without Natasha Anasi, an All-America selection who recently trained with the U18 USA National Team, and who is at Duke. They'll also be without the passing abilities of Anna Lavis, who recorded 13 assists and is at Texas Tech.
Other than that, Martin's roster is intact from a team that lost to state runnerup McKinney Boyd in the Class 5A regional semifinals. Well, sort of. Two other players are injured and might miss most of the season.
"It's time for somebody else to step up," Knight said. "Part of what our system does is it allows the players to train each other in certain situations, especially in games. So those kids have left a legacy behind of working with the ones that have come up next."
It's a legacy that Knight doesn't have to preach. She's as much a fixture on campus as the buildings themselves, entering her 28th year at the helm, which includes 445 victories and a district unbeaten streak that started in 2005 (45 wins, 4 ties).
"Coach Knight teaches us competing, winning and always doing your best," junior Katy Reamer said. "We love to compete. We want to win state. It does come with the territory because Martin is very well known for its success in soccer."
Knight said she is in a "wait-and-see" process with this team, which will begin the season at 6 pm Friday against Dallas Hockaday in the first round of the Nolan Showcase. So is Reamer, who is anxious but optimistic that a group with five returning starters can find a way to live up to the program's lofty expectations.
"Yeah, we did lose some key players on our roster," Reamer said. "We also lost some key players to injuries recently that will hurt us, but people are just going to have to step up."
That includes seniors Clare Newman, Jessi Barbre and Stephanie Anasi, Natasha's younger sister. Then there's Kennedale transfer Jazmyne Simmons, whom Knight is especially excited to see in action.
"I feel like they are going to try as hard as they can to maintain the reputation of what has gone on of playing good soccer," Knight said. "They have learned a lot. What those [graduated seniors] were able to do has motivated the others to keep those expectations."
Now it's just a matter of meeting them.

The term 'cartoon', as used here, means a full-sized drawing for execution in another medium, in this case stained glass. The figures were traced from a drawing made by Rossetti, for which he used his family and friends as models: William Morris posed for St Peter and Jane Morris for the Virgin Mary. It was Morris, however, who divided the design up into workable units of glass by adding the leading lines to the tracing. An indication is provided also of the colour of glass to be used for each unit. The window was made in the Morris, Marshall, Faulkner and Company's glass workshop in Red Lion Square, London, for the church of All Saints in Selsey, Gloucestershire.

Can We Trust the Reformers?
He never saw it coming. He had just started attending a strict confessional church and was completely unprepared for the onslaught when he posted the Confessional view of Scripture to his FaceBook page. Fellow Christians now accused him of being a KJVO, a Reformed Scholastic, an ignoramus, and said he would never be able to do apologetics. He couldn't understand such animosity toward the Historic Reformed position that said of Scripture, "being immediately inspired by God, and, by His singular care and providence, kept pure in all ages; are therefore authentical; so as, in all controversies of religion, the Church is finally to appeal unto them." And he further couldn't understand the animosity towards the position of the Confession, that the texts referred to by the writers of the Confession were the Textus Receptus and the Bomberg Hebrew Bible. He was told, "Why don't you use the best Greek text? There's no doctrinal differences between the better text and the Confessional text." And no matter how much he explained to them that it affected the Doctrine of the Canon or introduced Arian renderings, they would always ignore such arguments and begin the ad hominem attacks. He was further asked, "Which edition of the Textus Receptus? There are at least 30 of them." He always found this an odd question as it is understood by those that hold to the Confessional Text View that they are referring to all of the editions of the Textus Receptus & Bomberg Hebrew Bible. And whenever he asked his critics which Greek text they held to as finally authoritative they always refused to answer.
Upon further research he learned the name of this hitherto unknown position: Critical Text Onlyism.
Critical Text Onlyism
Group 1: This group believes that the modern Greek New Testament and translations from it are better than the Reformation era Greek texts and translations. The people in this group do very little reading, if at all, of books by actual textual critics. Nor do they read on the counter-reformation history of Restorationist Textual Criticism. The members of this group generally stick to populist literature by such men as Dr. Dan Wallace and Mr. James White.
Group 2: This group is generally unaware of the textual issues. They use modern translations approved by evangelical Critical Text Onlyists.
Group 3: This group consists of atheists and liberal theologians such as Dr. Bart Ehrman and Dr. D. C. Parker. This group believes in the corruption of the New Testament text, but doesn't believe it can be restored to it's autographic form. At best they believe it can only be restored to a 2nd or 4th century form. They are logically consistent in that they admit the Rationalism of reasoned eclecticism inevitably leads to subjectivity and then skepticism. It is perhaps best expressed by this quote from Dr. Parker,
The text is changing. Every time that I make an edition of the Greek New Testament, or anybody does, we change the wording. We are maybe trying to get back to the oldest possible form but, paradoxically, we are creating a new one. Every translation is different, every reading is different, and although there's been a tradition in parts of Protestant Christianity to say there is a definitive single form of the text, the fact is you can never find it. There is never ever a final form of the text. – Dr. D. C. Parker, Textual Scholarship and the Making of the New Testament, Oxford University Press, 2012
Group 4: This group is composed of evangelical Critical Text Onlyists. Most of these men are not trained textual critics such as Dr. D. A. Carson, Mr. John MacArthur, Dr. John Piper, & Mr. James White. The notable exceptions are textual critics Dr. Dan Wallace & Dr. Bruce Metzger. This group, like Group 3, believes the text of the New Testament was corrupted and essentially lost. The differ from Group 3 in that they believe that by naturalistic methodologies and the philosophy of Rationalism masquerading as reasoned eclecticism, the autographic form of the text can be recovered.
Critical Text Onlyism is, at its core, a rejection of the Historic Reformed position on Scripture while affirming the counter-reformation view begun by Roman Catholic priest, Richard Simon. The difference between CTO and the Confessional Text View, hereafter CTV, is one of final authority. To the Reformers, Puritans, Westminster Divines, London Baptists, etc., the final authority for all reasoning was Scripture. This is expressed in the follow writings:
- Disputations on Holy Scripture by William Whitaker (whose book served as the foundation for the doctrine in both the Westminster and 2nd London Baptist Confessions of Faith) (RHB Hardback)
- Selected Works of Robert Rollock.
Wherefore it is uncertain whether Matthew first wrote in Hebrew, Syriac, or Greek, yet it is more probable that he did first write in Greek…howsoever it is, the Greek edition
– Robert Rollock (1555-1598), Select Works p121
- Post Reformation Reformed Dogmatics Vol 2 by Richard Muller
- Institutes of Elenctic Theology Volume 1 by Francis Turretin, specifically On Holy Scriptures
- Book 16 of the Collected Works of John Owen (Banner of Truth)
- Truth's Victory Over Error by David Dickson (mp3s) (Banner of Truth)
- John Gill's A Dissertation Concerning the Antiquity Of The Hebrew Language, Letters, Vowel-Points, And Accents
- And the various commentaries and writings by the men of this age and later by such men as Robert. L. Dabney and Dr. Edward Freer Hills
For the CTO advocates, final authority does not rest in Scripture, but instead rests in the college of textual critics. This is similar to the final authority of the Roman Catholic church which rests in the traditions of the church and the words of the pope and his college of cardinals. With its Rationalistic philosophy approach to textual criticism, the CTO position is diametrically opposed to the testimony of Scripture about Scripture:
As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever. – Is 59:21
Or to put it simply, the words of Scripture were never corrupted to the point that they needed to be restored through naturalistic methods. They were instead kept pure and will be kept pure "henceforth and for ever."
(This post is done in the same style as the introduction of James White's King James Only Controversy: Can You Trust Modern Translations. It also commits the same logical fallacies of poisoning the well and creating an ad hominem out of the term Critical Text Onlyist.)

Investing in the health and education of young people will lift economies in Africa which are struggling with extreme poverty, research from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation found.
In the second edition of the annual Goalkeepers Data Report, released on Tuesday, the philanthropists outline what it will take to bring about the "third wave" of the world's poverty reduction. Bill and Melinda Gates first published the report last year and will continue to do so until 2030 to keep track of progress made in achieving the United Nation's 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
The research found that extreme poverty is heavily concentrated in sub-Saharan African countries. It is estimated by 2050 this is where 86% of extremely poor people in the world will live. This is why it is a priority for the world to reduce poverty in Africa.
The challenge specifically in Africa is that poverty is concentrated in a handful of the fastest growing countries. By 2050 it is projected that 40% of the world's extreme poor will live in two countries - Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
By 2050, the 10 countries where 65% of the world's extreme poor will live are Nigeria, the DRC, Madagascar, Somalia, Burundi, Malawi, Zambia, South Sudan, the Central Africa Republic and Guinea Bissau.
To solve it, the research suggests investing in the health and education of young people, or human capital. Africa predominantly has a young population, with nearly 60% under the age of 25. The median age is 18.
"Poor countries can chart a new course by investing in young people," the report read. "If young people are healthy, educated and productive, there are more people to do the kind of innovative work that stimulates rapid growth."
Human capital investments in sub-Saharan Africa could increase the size of the economy by nearly 90% by 2050, according to the report.
It concluded by reiterating that what happens to young people in Africa will determine if the world makes progress in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. It also appealed to governments to invest in the health and education of young people.
