Leadership - Part 4
Truth: We need a new paradigm of what leadership is in the body of Christ.
The reason I posted the other two myths first is because unless we adopt those truths first, we aren't situated to develop a new paradigm of leadership. First, leadership must be based on the truth that our status as brothers in the kingdom is that of equals. Second, leadership must evolve organically out of the unique relationships and giftings of a particular group.
Kester Brewin in discussing leadership in such a self-organizing system said this:
"...yes, there is such a thing as leadership in such (self-organizing) systems. But the model and style of leadership is so radically different to that which a) 'leaders' are used to using and b) 'followers' are used to experiencing that it is enormously tempting to quickly revert to old models of leadership where 'leaders' feel in control and the 'followers' can abdicate responsibility for their spiritual journey to them and just jump on the bandwagon."
This change is significant because at the same time that it requires leaders to step down from control, it also requires that the followers step up to take responsibility.
We can't read about the new testament church without seeing the aspects of leading and following that occur. I think perhaps our mistake has been in assuming that these are set roles for specific individuals. Titles and positions have set us up for a wrong mentality of leadership that is often self-serving rather than focused on serving others.
There is a vast difference in leading from position as opposed to leading from a place of responsibility that requires us to serve, possibly without recognition. Many people want to be seen as leaders, but not nearly as many are willing to serve in obscurity. What degree of service would we still participate in if there were no acknowledgment or recognition of our role?
The new testament gives us instructions on our responsibilities as leaders. In this, we are taught and encouraged to use our wisdom, resources, and gifts in service to our brothers and sisters in Christ. It is so important when we serve a brother by leading, that we understand the boundaries of the relationship and don't presume authority in their life that isn't ours.
We are also given instructions on our responsibilities as followers. In this, we are taught to maintain an attitude of respect and submission toward one another. There is wisdom and gifting in even the youngest believer that we can submit ourselves to. Honoring and empowering takes place when we are willing to receive from someone who may have less than us in the realm of privilege, maturity, or experience.
Although we have equal status within the kingdom of God, we recognize that in relationships, sometimes one person has more power. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it requires of that person honest and careful use of their power.
The fact is that some of us are further along on the journey than others. What this means is that we have the privilege and opportunity to share what we can with others. If we are willing to take the time and effort, we can help our brother along the way. This produces relationships that we know as overseeing, pastoring, eldering, and mentoring.
Does this mean that it is our job to manage their life? No, but we might get to be the person that believes in them. We could be the voice speaking God's truth of their identity and purpose, and we might get to share with them a glimpse of hope in what their future holds. We may also have the privilege and burden of sharing in their suffering.
It is so incredibly sad that in the midst of self-serving, self-promoting leadership within the body of Christ, we have missed the incredible opportunity of fathering in a way that builds worth and identity into a person, especially at a time when there is such a great need for fathering. Instead, due to a need to control, models of discipleship have been the most extreme models of abuse in the church, with the fathers hoarding participation in ministry for themselves.
We can raise up, equip, and release without assuming rulership. When we are willing to lead in a way that serves another without demanding subservience to ourselves, we get the incredible blessing of standing on the sidelines and cheering at the growth and success of those we've had the opportunity to give a hand to along the way.
Like a little girl, dancing on her daddy's shoes, sometimes we get the opportunity to allow someone to dance on our shoes for a bit. It is up to us whether we acknowledge and appreciate the partnership and talent that they bring to the dance. And it is up to us to realize that they will soon be dancing on their own.

Awesome stiff, Grace!
Of course, if leadership finds its closest parallel in parenthood, I don't know who could have the stomach for it.
I experience my deepest anguish when I fail my children. I experience my highest elation when I watch them succeed. I feel my greatest pride and joy when they take my hand and thereby "own" me.
This is a hard teaching...
- Rob said...
Great thoughts, Grace, but you'd better hope Frank Viola doesn't discover your blog!
- Linda said...
I was reluctant to use parenting as an example because of authoritarian mentalities of parenting.
Also, I believe that in the early years of parenting the relationship has more of a ruling-over nature than we would ever have in leading a brother in Christ.
However, I also agree that there are some beautiful parallels with good parenting, especially the idea of stewarding well our opportunity to serve and nurture.
Are you saying Frank wouldn't agree with me? He'd probably have to stand in line behind many others who also wouldn't agree.
That's okay. After a couple of years of processing, these are the thoughts that I'm willing to put in black and white and own today.
There is still plenty I am processing about how this can be realistically played out in every different kind of structure.
- Linda said...
I just wanted to say, that I'll be off for the weekend while my parents are visiting. I'll be back Monday to respond to comments.
Feel free to talk amongst yourselves. :)

The picture of a little girl dancing on her daddy's shoes and then growing up to eventually dance on her own is breathtaking and beautiful. I love how fluid that picture is.
Grace... I've been enjoying all the leadership series with nods, and "yep that's right"'s and any other way I can agree.
The two points I key on in this post...
1)leaders step down from control
2)followers step up to take responsibility
Different leadership requires different followership.
This ties in to your last post regarding vision. If the pastor as CEO casts the vision for the church based upon what God has called him to, then the rest of us are just managers or employees, but if the church casts the vision based upon God's corporate & individual calls then the whole local body become owners (actually…first stakeholders and later shareholders).
But, it is incredibly easy if you are a leader type to just do it yourself, or if you are a follower type to sit back and let someone else do it for you.
- Alan Knox said...
You asked: "What degree of service would we still participate in if there were no acknowledgment or recognition of our role?"
If we are not willing to serve without title, position, acknowledgment, recognition, or role, then we are NOT serving.
- Corrie said...
Wow, Alan. That should be on a plaque hanging in every Christian household, church and organization.
Is it alright to quote you?
- Alan Knox said...
Certainly, you may quote me. Make sure you spell my name correctly: g-r-a-c-e. ;)
- Linda said...
Thanks sonja!
Great thoughts ksg. Ownership of the vision does produce a different mentality among those involved.
I've really appreciated interacting with your thoughts on this also. There is lots of wisdom in your approach to this topic.
Go ahead and quote alan and be sure to read his post that I've linked to in my next post.
Alan, that was good. I echo Corrie's sentiments!
Grace, this has been an excellent series. I asked earlier, I think on #2 (sorry I'm late to the game), about the interplay of authority. I think you get at some of that here, with your discussion of power. I'm still trying to figure out how authority works in God's Kingdom. Clearly, Jesus has all authority. Beyond that principle, what?
- Linda said...
I'm not sure if I've hit exactly on what you are asking. The way I see it, Jesus has all authority, we all submit to him, then we submit mutually to one another.
We also have delegated authority as agents of God in the earth, to subdue, have dominion, be fruitful and multiply, etc.
Jesus really never uses the power of his authority in relationship with us. He invites, we choose.
Yes, that is an awesome quality God. While he doesn't need us he wants us. And he invites us to join him without mandating it.
grace...this series has been absolutely beautiful. after reading this i feel comfortable being a "leader" (can i still use the word?) in my church plant. i've been SO UNCOMFORTABLE w/ "leadership" - i've hated that word. when i read about leadership in the way you've described i resonate w/ it. i'm good at dancing on other ppl's shoes and having them dance on mine. i'm not good at holding "dance classes" where i am the cheif dancer who tells everyone the right moves to make. i'm also a helluva father;)...i love that "job" more than any in the world. thanks for all you've written on this...wow.
- Linda said...
Your comment means a lot to me. If you, as a leader, can read through this and not find it invalidating of your role, then I was able to convey what I intended. Thank you!

The Hugh Grant romantic comedy
It has been four years since Hugh Grant's last romantic comedy, Did You Hear About The Morgans? in 2009. It was abysmal. Two years before that, Grant starred in Music And Lyrics with Drew Barrymore. Both films were written and directed by Marc Lawrence who also worked with Grant in Two Weeks Notice with Sandra Bullock. Here's Grant today in Brooklyn shooting Lawrence's new untitled movie. He plays Ray Michaels. Fifteen years ago Ray won an Oscar for Best Screenplay and then it all went to sh-t, personally and professionally. Hard up for cash, he accepts a teaching position at a liberal arts college somewhere in New England. Enter the single mom. Obviously. According to IMDB, Marisa Tomei is the single mom. Hugh Grant is an infamous misanthrope. And there are a lot of stories about Marisa Tomei. So that should be a fun set.

Uber is launching a sweet service in D.C., but it'll only last for one day.
The sedan service is running a promotion Friday that will allow customers to request that an ice cream truck come to their location. The trucks will run between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. and can be requested through Uber's app.
But the cool delivery is not cheap. Five ice cream treats will set you back $25.
Uber is also offering the service in 32 other cities Friday.

primark jeans (customised)
Not the most exciting outfit but hey, there is nothing better than a jeans a jumper combo every now and then. Admittedly I've been sporting this combo for a while, and I should really snap out of comfort dressing and get back experimenting a little more!
As I mentioned in yesterdays video, I'm moving house soon so Im going to be doing a huge wardrobe clear out of all the things that I dont wear as much as I should do. Being a fashion blogger I literally have so much stuff, more than you're average girl on the street so every now and again I like to just get rid of it all and start again. Well not it all... Im still clinging onto an old Panic! At the Disco tshirt I bought when they first came out. I'm not 100% sure where Im going to try and sell them, probably not eBay as it's so much hassle these days. If you have any reccomendations for places I could sell stuff then do leave them in comments!

David Walliams has claimed Simon Cowell is trying to steal his role as the joker of the Britain's Got Talent panel.
The Little Britain funnyman accused Simon of planning to cut his jokes from the show to make himself look funnier.
David told The Sun: "He is making jokes the whole time and it's becoming very annoying. He's not funny - funny peculiar, maybe.
"If I make a joke, he has to make one better. If I get on stage, he has to get on stage.
"He got up so a child could throw knives at him, but unfortunately the child missed."
Fellow judges Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden agreed there seemed to have been a role reversal between David and Simon.
Alesha said: "David is serious and Simon thinks he's funny. Simon has turned into a bit of a comedian and David doesn't like it."
Amanda added: "Simon is being a bit funnier than David this year. I was thinking, 'Has he got a scriptwriter?' You can't normally top David."
But David warned he is planning to let rip in the live shows.
He revealed: "For the auditions Simon can just go and snip things out he doesn't want. But in the live shows he can't. That's when I get my revenge."
Meanwhile, Alesha has said she doesn't think the show could go on without Simon on the panel.
She told Digital Spy: "He's a valuable person to have on the Britain's Got Talent panel because people genuinely want to impress him, therefore he attracts a lot more talented people.
"They want to come and get a yes from Simon, that shouldn't be overlooked. It's a respect thing.
"If people get three yeses from us and they don't get a yes from Simon, it breaks their heart. I wouldn't see a future without Simon on the show, because I think he's a massive, massive part of it."

First U2 ShowI was a high school sophomore and this was my first U2 show. I went to the show with my dad. Having only seen U2 live on Rattle and Hum and Under a Blood Red Sky, I was totally surprised and amazed with the stage set-up (e.g. TVs and Trabant cars). Most memorable moment was With or Without You when the Miami Arena was illuminated with the disco ball Trabant. 2 weeks later, I found a copy of Rattle and Hum in my dad's car. My dad denied it was his and tried to convince it was mine... My dad should have said he was holding it for a friend.
08 October, 2009
I got onstage with U2 at the Miami ArenaThis one single experience changed my entire life. After this happened I knew that there is no limit whatsoever on the possibilities life has to offer. It was the 2nd show of the world tour in Miami Florida.In between With or Without you and Love is Blindness at the end of the show, I actually managed to climb onstage and surprise a very cool Bono and Edge. Luckily since I dreamed that moment from the time I subscribed to Propaganda Magazine and read how cool Bono was to people, I did not lose my cool and Bono treated me very well!!!! He wasn't sure what to do with me as his normal stick had him have a girl during Blindness and I messed him up a bit. He was extremely gracious and actaully listened to me and gently carried me off stage to his very cool roadies after a few moments. In that moment as i was being passed down from Bonos hands to his roadies hands, I fainted for a second . Then I jumped for joy as I made my dream come true.. The only sad part is I never got a picture of that blessed event. People didn't have cameras in their phones in those days. The Achtung Baby Album is some of the most exciting music I have ever heard and even to this day I am blown away at the memories of that whole show..Trabants and hippee Djs pre show. Its astounding at how connected U2 are with their audience. Bono gently asked me not to freak out, and I didn't.. I would give ANYTHING for a picture of that moment.. Thru U2's fan club through all these years I have met some wonderful people. I am on my way to Tampa in the morning for 360 tour..I am hoping for more great memories which I have no doubt about.. Hoping you come to Miami again soon! Love to U2 ps any pics from 3/1/1992 Miami Arena please email me at email@example.com Thanks!

The relationship between the VM and the VL in patients with patello-femoral instability
Suche in Medline nach
|18. Oktober 2011
Questionnaire: While the multi-factorial nature of patello-femoral (PF) instability is widely recognized, little is known about the competence of the quadriceps and its role in providing active joint stabilization in patients with PF instability. However, any imbalance between the medial and lateral compartments of the quadriceps is likely to influence the joint mechanics and could modulate the risk for PF instability. In particular, an insufficient vastus medialis (VM) is expected to result in an increased lateral pull on the patella and could thus increase the risk of lateral patellar dislocation and PF instability. This study hypothesized that an imbalance between the vastus lateralis (VL) and VM exists in patients with PF instability such that the VM is relatively smaller than the VL when compared against the conditions in healthy controls.
Methods: After approval by the local ethics committee, MRI scans of both left and right femurs of 15 healthy subjects and 13 patients with unilateral patello-femoral instability scheduled to undergo MPFL reconstruction were obtained. After 3D reconstruction of the MRI data, the quadriceps muscles were segmented and the proportions of the VL and the VM of the total CSA were quantified. A t-test was used to identify whether differences existed between the CSAs of the VL and VM between both the affected and unaffected limbs of the patients and healthy controls.
Results and conclusions: The vastus medialis CSA of the contralateral limb of the patients (1627.9±364.4 mm2) was significantly smaller (p<0.01) than both the VM of the patients' affected leg (1859.8±489.0 mm2) and the VM of the controls (2020.5±395.4 mm2). However, no significant differences were found for the VM between the affected limb of the patients and the controls. No differences between patients and controls were observed for the relative ratio between VL and VM. The results of this study suggest that the CSA of the VM and the VL of the affected limb in patients with PF instability is similar to the values of healthy controls. This finding suggests that in the presence of other risk factors for PF instability, a VM CSA that is within the normal range is not protective of PF instability. Unexpectedly, the contralateral limb of patients with PF instability presented a reduced VM CSA, a condition that is likely to increase the lateral force vector acting on the patella. Whether the latter resulted into functional deficits remains to be investigated. As our patients with patello-femoral instability were all subject to conservative treatment before a decision to operation was made, the lack of a difference between VM CSA on the affected limb and healthy controls might be a result of the rehabilitation protocol that specifically targets strengthening of the VM. Whether and under which conditions specific treatment of the unsymptomatic limb in patients with PFI to strengthen the VM is indicated and effective in preventing the occurrence of PFI there remains to be elucidated.

Space Station 'taxi' flight returns ESA astronaut to Earth
ESA PR 63-2001. ESA astronaut Claudie Haigneré and her two Russian colleagues were welcomed back to Earth today after successfully delivering a new 'lifeboat' to the International Space Station.
The Andromède crew safely descended to Earth in a Soyuz capsule, ending a 10 day Russian-French mission on a dewy autumn morning in Baikonur, Kazakhstan at 05:59 CET.
Together with fellow crew members Commander Victor Afanassiev and Flight Engineer Konstantin Kozeev, French born Claudie spent eight days on board the Space Station and described the mission as "a challenging and intensely fulfilling experience".
The Andromède crew's prime objective was to deliver the Station's new lifeboat and exchange it for an older Soyuz vehicle which had been attached to the Station for the past six months, for their lift back to Earth.
"The Space Station is a remarkable feat of engineering, and is taking shape day after day. We were able to set up experiments and carry out a series of medical tests," said Claudie. "Europe is playing a significant role in the development of the Space Station which will be a key for space-based science and technology development in the coming years".
Whilst on board the crew also performed a range of experiments in life sciences, biology, materials science and Earth observation - some designed and conceived by children and young people from European schools and colleges.
Claudie made history as the first European woman to visit the Space Station and also as the first non-Russian woman astronaut to fly in a Soyuz spacecraft as Flight Engineer.
The Andromède mission was initiated by the French Minister for Research and has been undertaken under an agreement between the French space agency (CNES) and its Russian counterpart Rosaviakosmos. Andromède is the prelude to a series of future manned missions to the Space Station for European astronauts using the Russian Soyuz spacecraft in the frame of an agreement signed by ESA and Rosaviakosmos in May 2001. The next scheduled flight is in the Spring of 2002, with ESA astronaut Roberto Vittori of Italian nationality.

Thanks to the Dolby Pro Logic IIz decoder, you can configure the AVR-S900W to drive a 7.1 channel home theater surround sound speaker system, with 5 main speakers and an additional pair of front height speakers that deliver an expansive front soundstage to match the on-screen action.
The digital audio processor features the ability to decode high resolution audio tracks from Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio sources, and the high resolution D/A converter section features precision D/A converters that can handle up to 24 bit, 192 kHz high resolution digital audio tracks.

The front panel features 4 Quick Select function buttons, so you can quickly choose your favorite source. The system remembers not only the source selected, but also your preferred audio settings for each one. The ergonomic remote control also features 4 dedicated Quick Select function buttons.
The AVR-S900W features Denon's stylish front panel design, with prominent volume control and source selector knobs. The graphical display combines clear text along with easy to understand graphical symbols that let you see the selected source, the volume level and other key information with maximum legibility.

"Denon's AVR-S900W is a receiver that tries to do everything and pretty much
succeeds. Triple wireless connectivity, a thoughtful interface, and solid room correction are pluses—and the supplied mike
stand is a great idea. But the biggest attraction is great sound, at what amounts to a very affordable price, no less. That's
what makes it all worthwhile."

Hey all, some advice needed.
I'm seriously considering reisgning from the organisation that I teach for. I have great friends and many happy memories from it but I'm sick of their inability to organise anything. The catalyst is the cancellation of an important seminar that all instructors MUST attend. I, and four of my students have struggled to secure the weekend off and will be out of pocket for this important seminar that now isn't happening. It's not the first time.
I know that some of you (possibly most of you) have left your former organisations and started up on your own. This is what I'm looking to do. I have a syllabus in place and am commited to a high standard of everything, not just Martial quality but organisation planning and all of the necessary official documentation.
Of course it's a big step and this what I'm seeking advice. I'll need to re-grade all of my students to a new syllabus and grade structure. I need to ensure that I'm properly preparing my instructors for instructing in the absence of an organisation to provide the course or support.
What are your thoughts and experiences?
Thanks for all input into this.

Weve upgraded our version of vBulletin to the latest available version as well as tweaked and upgraded the various plugins we use.
The new theme is currently a work in progress, and will be modified throughout the following weeks while we get it fully set up the way wed like it to be.
If you have problems with this theme, you can change your theme back to the old one, which is Weasyl, in the footer. Please note that we will not be upgrading that theme or supporting it anymore, so any errors you encounter may not be fixed.
Additionally, a few plugins still need upgrading, so a few features may not be available to all users at this time.

The International Crisis Group has a number of questionable board members, notes World Net Daily, include Zbigniew Brzezinski, national security adviser to Jimmy Carter, Samuel Berger, Bill Clinton's national security adviser, and retired U.S. ambassador Thomas Pickering, who in 2009 met with Hamas leaders and called for the U.S. to open ties to Hamas. Additionally, Robert Malley serves on ICG's board. He served on President Obama's 2008 campaign but was forced to resign after it was revealed that he engaged in communications with Hamas.
All three men have appeared publicly on a number of occasions to present the Muslim Brotherhood in a more positive light, and even went so far as to encourage the Egyptian government to cooperate with the group. All men are seemingly united under the common agenda to destroy the "Great Satan" (the United States) and "Little Satan" (Israel).
The Blaze reports:
Consistently referring to Israel as the "stumbling block" to peace in the Middle East, Soros makes no bones about his hopes for the Brotherhood. He even heartily encouraged giving the Muslim Brotherhood a place at Egypt's table when the country's streets erupted into flames of dissent earlier this year.
Likewise, FrontPageMag.com makes a number of notable connections:
The numerous ties of Soros and his Shadow Party cohorts have been documented; they include the master puppeteer's own Open Society Institute and various anti-Western Islamist groups in the revolutions. It has been confirmed, for instance, that the International Crisis Group (ICG), led in part by Soros, has long petitioned for the Egyptian government to "normalize" ties with the previously banned Brotherhood — for example, in a June 2008 report called "Egypt's Muslim Brothers: Confrontation or Integration?" And this talking point is echoed by Brian Katulis, senior fellow at the Soros-funded Center for American Progress: "Any real democratic opening would lead to greater participation of groups like the Muslim Brotherhood in a future Egyptian government."
Soros has not been so subtle regarding his sympathies for the Muslim Brotherhood. In February, he prepared an opinionated piece for the Washington Post dismissing American and Israeli fears over the unrest in Egypt, and even asserted that the rebels in Egypt did not seek to advance a theocratic agenda. He then continued his editorial by praising the Muslim Brotherhood for its efforts to topple Mubarak's regime.
What's most ironic is that the Muslim Brotherhood would not support Soros' vision for a one-world government.
But The Blaze ponders, "Perhaps he just sees the alliance as an opportunity to side against his enemies the U.S. and Israel."

It seems Mob Wives star Renee Graziano is still working hard to break away from the mob princess mentality. This was witnessed on the most recent episode of the show when Renee called her ex-husband Hector Pagan Jr aka Junior for back up after a bar patron insulted her.
In a new interview with the HollywoodLife, Renee opens up about wanting to create a better lifestyle for both her and her 17-year-old son AJ Pagan, adding that AJ has inspired her to want to change. "I wouldn't want my son to go to jail," Renee says. "AJ is going in a completely different direction. He's going to make himself a better life."
Renee adds that she is tired of seeing AJ go through the heartaches of the mob lifestyle such as watching his father Junior possibly get locked up again. "It breaks me emotionally," explains Renee. "Watching your child feel pain makes you angry, very angry. It's probably harder than anything anyone has to do."
Renee states that raising AJ has given her strength to become more independent. "I lived an empty life," she admits. Now, "I'm trying to change my life and define myself outside of the way I was brought up." Renee also adds that her renewed friendship with co-star Karen Gravano is helping her leave her old ways behind.
And speaking of Karen, she is now clearing up the rumor that she was ever in a witness protection program, which was sort of insinuated on the show no? Also talking to the HollywoodLife, Karen reveals that unlike her father Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano — former Gambino family underboss turned FBI informant — she was never in the witness protection program.
"People have it confused," Karen says. "The way it was, this was my father's life, it didn't have to do with me. I didn't understand why he cooperated, he felt John betrayed him. I thought it wasn't my life. I was going to stand on my own — that's why I didn't go into witness protection."
Karen then explains why she moved away from New York to Arizona. "I moved to Arizona because my family was there and I thought it was a better way to raise Karina," Karen says of her daughter. "And my brother [Gerard Gravano] was in prison, so I helped raise his son as well."
Karen states, "When my father got out of prison, he went into witness protection for eight months and moved to Arizona and joined my family… I was very reluctant to leave New York, [but] I missed my family and was fed up with the lifestyle in NYC. I moved there in 1997."
As revealed on the show, Karen is now back living in Staten Island to both work on her book and clear her name.
Meanwhile, Mob Wives is proving to be a big hit for the ailing VH1 network. The premiere brought in close to 2 million viewers and the show continues to average a healthy 1.33 million viewers a week.

Your sweaters and jackets have been thrown in your closet where they belong, and your shorts, bathing suits, and sandals are back in rotation for another beautiful South Florida summer. But you may want to reopen that closet door and toss your foundation in there for the next few months as well. Applying heavy foundation during warm, humid days is about as appealing as putting on a parka.
The good news? There are great foundation alternatives for summer that can keep you looking and feeling fantastic while protecting your skin from the sun and heat.
BB Creams
Initially launched in Asia, beauty balm (BB) creams have since surged in popularity here in the U.S. It's easy to understand why they are one of the most popular foundation alternatives at the moment. BB creams are a single application, one-stop shopping for a range of skin benefits and have a unique ability to enhance your complexion over the long term. BB creams typically incorporate skin care necessities such as anti-aging peptides, vitamins and antioxidants, broad spectrum sunscreens, anti-inflammatory agents and makeup primers.
What makes BB cream one of the more appealing foundation alternatives for the summer months is that it provides a uniform base and covers skin imperfections while allowing the skin to breathe without clogging pores along the way. This reduces your odds of breakouts and blemishes and keeps you from feeling the heaviness that can weigh down your summer fun.
Tinted Moisturizer
Like BB creams, tinted moisturizers are jacks-of-many-trades and perfectly suited for warm, humid days. They are as light as a moisturizer while still providing a solid base like foundation. They contain a combination of botanical extracts, antioxidants, and vitamins C and E, and many tinted moisturizers add sunscreen or anti-wrinkle cream into the mix as well. Hydrating, invigorating, and healthy – tinted moisturizers are the perfect addition to your beach bag this summer.
Just as humanity somehow survived for centuries before the dawn of smartphones and social media, so too did generations of women before the advent of foundation makeup. Our forebears did so with the use of powder, which can minimize imperfections while keeping a natural, sheer look. Mineral powders, readily available at any makeup counter, feel so light as to be almost unnoticeable. They are perfect for hot summer days, as they can reduce facial sheen by absorbing oil and perspiration.
Protecting your skin during the summertime is critical, but it doesn't have to be difficult. Adjusting your makeup routine by ditching heavy makeup for these lighter foundation alternatives creates a healthy summer skin care regimen.
No matter the season, Dr. Mariano Busso is here to help. For more information on summer skin care or to book your next cosmetic dermatology appointment in Miami, contact us at 305-857-0144.

ParkingMapper Group necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 19 diseños de 4 diseñadores freelance.
ParkingMapper -- we provide innovative technology solutions to regional and local transportation problems by using Web 2.0 and spatial technology. We generate maps on the fly of parking availability, bus locations, bicycle spots, and cabs. You can remotely hail a cab, and find the bus using our mobile app or texting our short code. Buy or sell your parking spot for profit. Or get a bike at one of our kiosks.
Our users are anyone using regional or local transportation, whether by parking, taking cabs, or using bike-share in cities or taking a local bus in the city or the country. Our focus target is young adults, typically 18 - 35, who are using local transportation services but are also more technologically savvy than older age groups using the same services. We don't want to exclude anyone, though!
The logo must consist of a bold visual symbol and stylized text. ParkingMapper must be displayed with no space, but emphasis or different coloring on "Parking" or "Mapper" is acceptable.
A central focus of the symbol should be mapping or the incorporation of some sort of map theme. Working in cars, buses, and/or bicycles is a plus.
The visual symbol must be appealing and should look good both in the form you provide and also as a silhouette. The symbol should look good independently from the text, and should still retain some meaning if small parts are cropped off.
We have several sub-brands, including BusMapper, BicycleMapper, and CabMapper. We need to be provided with the font so we can use these brand names as well. If this isn't possible due to font licensing, we need alternates of the logo created with those brand names.

In 1990 the Australian ornithologist Ron Johnstone observed a Myzomela on the island of Rote in the Lesser Sundas in Indonesia. In 2009 the birds were observed again by Belgian birders Philippe Verbelen and Veerle Dossche who noticed that the songs they recorded were quite different from other Myzomela populations. The taxon has been described as Rote Myzomela Myzomela irianawidodoae. In the same year Philippe came across Myzomelas on Alor, that also turned out to have quite different vocalisations. These have now been described as Alor Myzomela Myzomela prawiradilagae. For now the recordings are stored on XC under Myzomela kuehni.

What is xeno-canto?
xeno-canto is a website dedicated to sharing bird sounds from all over the world. Whether you are a research scientist, a birder, or simply curious about a sound that you heard out your kitchen window, we invite you to listen, download, and explore the bird sound recordings in the collection.
But xeno-canto is more than just a collection of recordings. It is also a collaborative project. We invite you to share your own bird recordings, help identify mystery recordings, or share your expertise in the forums. Welcome!
Latest News
The Collection Graphs show an enormous increase in activity these last few weeks. We've just passed 6000 active contributors. In these first five days of April, nearly 300 people contributed, which is an average number for a whole month outside spring. And over 500 recordings shared yesterday alone. The daily rate for 2020 averages to about 280 cuts a day at the moment, much higher than the 180 per day of 2019. Awesome!
So, it turns out there are many new users and recordists on xeno-canto in this strangest of times. Please have a look around everyone and try to make yourself at home in our little corner. Hopefully we can make you all feel welcome. If you feel like contributing at some point, with a discussion on the forum maybe or by uploading a sound that would be great. Looking forward to it. Stay safe!
Hi Admins, yes, hard to get out into the forests to record those woodpeckers - and other birds :-) In any case you guys keep up the tremendous work. Stay safe, stay well. GG
Thank XC for the kind message. :) True... field plans were cancelled and recording plans were influenced a bit. But everyone stay home and stay safe. :)

The spring-nocturnal-migrant-recording season in the northern hemisphere is upon us. Recordings are welcome of course. But let's try this: 1. please explain in the remarks how you arrived at an ID. For example point to literature, to a website, or to other recordings on XC. If you cannot: please upload it as a mystery! And 2. if you can, and are allowed to, perhaps you can try to record the spring chorus where you live as well. Maybe it sounds as nice as this one.
dear XC community, it now looks like all of us at some point will have to come to grips with the Corona virus and the challenges it poses. Stay safe everyone!
I've been off the grid for two weeks and just getting back today to civilization, I see that getting home might just be a little tricky.
well, of all people I am least worried about you Modd. Keep us posted.
Just cancelled eight weeks of birding in Indonesia ... sigh.
Well, in all the chaos: enjoy the fact that airplane traffic and airplane noise is down by a serious factor. Birding sites that are normally useless to recordists are now temporarily available to us!
Vou cumprir o que se pede neste momento que é não sair de casa. Tenho mais de cem gravações para introduzir no xeno-canto e eBird, mesmo a partir de casa faço contagens e gravações de aves, tenho feito algumas NFC's. O que interessa é não ficar parado. Gravem nem que seja a partir das varandas, dos quintais.
I will fulfill what is being asked at this moment which is not to leave the house. I have over a hundred recordings to introduce in xeno-canto and eBird, even from home I count and record birds, I have done some NFC's. What matters is not to stand still. Record even if it's from balconies, backyards.
that's the spirit Nelson!
To stay outside this spring surrounded by all nature will give to you. Is probably the safest life you can have this days, and because it is unusually quiet, it is a possibility to get the most memorable moments of impressions. Stay cool ! Elias A Ryberg

Omar Cummings returns to Dick's Sporting Goods Park for first time since trade to Houston Dynamo
Omar Cummings, one of the greatest strikers in Rapids history, returns to face Colorado Sunday for the first time since a December 2012 trade sent him to the Houston Dynamo.
"I'm really looking forward to coming back to Dick's Sporting Goods (Park)," Cummings said. "It's a place that I kind of grew up."
Between 2007 and 2012, the Jamaican striker went from being a 24-year-old draft pick out of the University of Cincinnati to a 30-year-old old former MLS Cup champion and international goal-scoring veteran. Only three players have appeared in more regular season games for the Rapids than Cummings.
Cummings said he'll enjoy the familiar feeling of driving through Commerce City to the stadium, and even though he's never dressed for the visitors there, he anticipates feeling right at home.
"I know the stadium so much, the field so much," Cummings said. "The team has changed a little bit, but I still know a few guys. So, it still feels like I'm the home team, coming home."

The Cash Croppers: Farm Subsidies 1985-1994
The Top Two Percent of America's Farm Subsidy Recipients, 1985-1994
September 2, 1995
The Cash Croppers: Farm Subsidies 1985-1994: Chapter 2. Total Deficiency Payments
Deficiency payments have formed the core of Federal farm subsidy programs over the past decade. Deficiency payments for upland cotton, feed grains (corn, barley, sorghum and oats), wheat and rice accounted for $71 billion (65 percent) of the $108.9 billion in total farm subsidy payments made between 1985 and 1994. As this chapter makes clear, like farm subsidies generally, the all-important deficiency payments are highly concentrated among a relative handful of subsidy recipients.
Recipient Category: All Recipients
Just 2 percent of all those who received deficiency payments over the past decade

Soles for Little Souls
Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority's nationwide humanitarian effort, Soles for Little Souls, was celebrated in Denver when the members of the Beta Rho Sigma alumnae chapter staged a shoe-collection drive to benefit children at Barney Ford Elementary School whose families don't have the means to buy new footwear for them.
Chapter president Elma Joyce Hairston was at the school on a recent Saturday to help fellow members collect and sort the donations. The sorority's nationwide goal was to collect 100,000 pairs; the local goal was 100 pairs.
The need, unfortunately, does not stop at 100 pairs, Hairston said, adding that donations are still welcome and can be made to the office Doris Chandler, a social worker at Barney Ford Elementary, 14500 Maxwell Place, Denver 80239. Or, call 720-424-7305. The donated shoes must be new and in sizes that would fit elementary school-aged boys and girls.
Soles for Little Souls, Hairston adds, is part of Sigma Gamma Rho sorority's credo of "Greater Service, Greater Progress, as we continue our efforts to make life better for all."

Brange on ice
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt took their kids skating on Monday in Queensland. At one point, they circled the rink holding hands. Do you remember that? Did you have skateabouts in high school? Was there all kinds of drama over who would ask who to hold hands on the skateabout? Someone needs to write a YA novel featuring the angst that happens leading up to a skateabout. Photo Assumption says the Jolie seems more comfortable on skates than Brad. She's the one who appears to be leading some of the children around. There's Pax, trying to gain confidence without having to cling to his mother. There's Miss Zahara who does need some extra support. Vivienne seems solid on her own. And I don't know what the Chosen One Shiloh is doing so I'll imagine that she's pumping her fists to the beat and her very own routine. She'll be sneaking out her window and taking the car for a joy ride before we know it.

Experience the Smoky Mountains from a different perspective this fall working and camping on the Appalachian Trail.
The 70 miles of the Appalachian Trail through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park cross the Trail's highest point and traverse the most diverse ecosystem and largest roadless area along the Trail. Half of the Appalachian Trail in the Park is open to horse use, and the crew's current work involves reconstructing those sections where horses and hikers share the Trail. Because this portion of the Trail also receives so much rainfall annually, there is a lot of work to be done to repair the Trail where significant erosion has compromised the tread way.
The crew backpacks about 6 miles up a steep side trail to reach the work area and field camp for the eight-day sessions. Crew members carry most everything they need, but do receive some support from equestrian partners to help in carrying tools and some food up the mountain. However, crew volunteers should expect to carry between 40-55 lbs on their backs and may also need to hand-carry some tools.
If so, we'd like to hear from you! On a Trail Crew, you can count on getting very dirty and sweaty while doing some of the hardest and most rewarding work of your life!
A full crew session is a week to ten days, depending on the Crew, during which you will be living with your fellow crew members, led by experienced crew leaders, while learning Trail or shelter maintenance. Depending on the project, you may hike several miles every day while carrying a backpack and hefty tools.
The pace is slower, your Crew leaders and co-volunteers are friendly and diverse, but share one important common trait: they all love the Appalachian Trail! Plus, your hard work will last for years to come to be enjoyed by future generations.
The ATC Crew Basecamp is located near Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Volunteers are asked to arrive no later than 3 p.m. the day before their session start date for introduction, orientation, volunteer readiness assessment, dinner, and a safety talk. The bunkrooms have bed linens and pillows, but you'll need to bring your towel, washcloth, soap or shampoo. Crew members with an interest in joining more than one session of crew are invited to stay at basecamp and are asked to consider it a work-for-stay opportunity.
Because its work sites are so remote, the Rocky Top Crew has an eight-days-on schedule. Please note that the Rocky Top Crew involves a long backpack in to the work site, and eight days of rustic backcountry camping. From the spike camp in the field, volunteers take day hikes to reach the project area where they will install steps and waterbars, build drains, or reestablish sidehill. On the eighth day, the crew hikes out from the field, cleans gear and tools, and has dinner followed by a recognition ceremony.
Volunteers spend eight consecutive days and seven nights working in remote backcountry locations, far from medical facilities, performing physically demanding manual labor in a variety of intense weather conditions. In addition to trail work activities, volunteers also actively contribute to community chores and always practice Leave No Trace.
Volunteers must be physically and mentally ready for the challenges of crew life.
NOTE:Volunteers who are unable to complete a portion of this fitness assessment may be asked to reconsider their participation on crew.
We supply all necessary tools and training in their use, basic loaner gear, professional Trail Crew leaders, plenty of high-energy food, off-day housing for multi-week volunteers, transportation to and from the Knoxville, TN airport and/or bus station (if required), and transportation to and from the trailhead.
It's not advisable to participate on a Trail Crew to "get fit." In order to help volunteers prepare for a rigorous week of trail work, ATC partnered with a Kinesiology student at Lynchburg College to develop a training program to help volunteers arrive fit for the demands of crew life.
Give us a call at 828-348-1911 or e-mail [email protected] with any questions.

On Monday, the LGBTQ community expressed renewed outrage over Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi's decision to defend her state's gay marriage ban. Bondi actually filed her brief back in May, but this week she took the unusual step of standing by her decision in an oddly apologetic press release. That's what has the community so riled up—the fact that Bondi dared to defend her legal stance that Florida's laws comport with the federal constitution.
In a year when multiple attorneys general on the left and right have written off their states' marriage bans as blatantly unconstitutional, it's easy to criticize Bondi for standing by Florida's. (Many have also harped on the fact that Bondi, who has been married two or three times, praised the "traditional definition of marriage" and asserted that gay couples lack "family continuity" in her brief.) Bondi, though, is really just doing her job. There are plenty of other reasons to criticize her tenure, including her horrifying plan to speed up executions, coupled with her recent shocking dereliction of duty. But this is one area in which her arch conservatism aligns quite neatly with the duties of her position.
Within the next year or so, the Supreme Court will probably rule that state-level gay marriage bans are unconstitutional. As Justice Antonin Scalia presciently noted, that's the overwhelming suggestion of United States v. Windsor, in which the court found that the Defense of Marriage Act "violate[d] basic due process and equal protection principles." Until that point, however, attorneys general like Bondi are free to interpret Windsor as a federalism opinion—that is, a declaration that states must be free to pass their own marriage laws. Yes, these arguments are going to sound retrograde and insulting. (Bondi's brief suggests that only straight couples can create "stable and enduring family units" and dismisses the "stigmatization and emotional harm caused by the marriage laws" as basically trivial.) That's because in 2014, the only remaining non-religious arguments against gay marriage are either laughably bizarre or downright derogatory.
But Bondi's inability to make an anti-gay argument that passes the smirk test is really just proof of how close the marriage equality movement is to victory. There's no use, at this late date, in lambasting attorneys general who swim against the tide—especially when they do so this meekly. Bondi is going to lose in court, and Florida's marriage ban will soon be overturned. In the meantime, Bondi might as well throw her best arguments at the wall. It's clear, by this point, that none of them will stick.

|The magician displays a double-wide sheet of newspaper. He shows both sides, lowers it toward the floor, and when he removes the paper, a small side table has appeared! The table can also be produced from behind a large silk handkerchief or other covering. The table folds flat, is usually used as a body load, and yet pops into view in less than two seconds. The table top is small and is usually used to hold light-weight objects such as silk hanks, the magician's top hat, and so forth. First marketed by Russ Walsh of Vanishing and Appearing Cane fame many years ago, this re-make is patterned after the original. A nice production piece of apparatus. 51nufud01420
|This combination case and performance platform is ideal for both the performance and the transport of briefcase-sized magic props. Wall panels hinge in place to give a rear entry cubical so that props can be concealed during a performance. The cubical also provides a place for the magician to retrieve items. This is an excellent performance platform for the trade show magician working exhibition booths. The Case Table is a quality prop with upright panels that are finished with Formica type plastic laminate to resist scratches and provide durability. It is a quality product through and through.
|This is a first class close-up case and performance platform that is perfect for the working performer. The case is beautifully made with high quality luan. Release the latch and the lid opens up to a spacious compartment large enough for cups and balls and other apparatus. Pull out the bottom drawer to organize card decks, packet tricks, and so forth. The drawer has room for several decks of cards, and there is additional room in the drawer beyond the cards (not pictured). The case measures 12 x 16 x 6 inches. The magician simply sets the case on a table and he is ready to perform. Beautifully made and highly recommended.
|The Eureka Table has been a standard fixture for magicians for a long time. We are proud to offer our version of the base that comes complete with a screw type flange. The table is ready for your homemade table top or screw the flange to the bottom of your piece of magic apparatus. Can raise to 52" tall, although we doubt that you will ever need to use it that tall.
|This wooden tabletop is covered with black felt, trimmed with gold ribbon and fringe, and has a beautiful red velveteen skirt. The top has one hidden "black art" well that enables a performer to vanish objects, produce them, and allow him to secretly ditch or drop items from his hand and out of sight as he picks up his wand or other apparatus. A well is also an excellent way to load a top hat, basket, or other receptacle. The top measures about 14 x 18 inches and comes complete with collapsible tripod Eureka Table Base. Everything packs relatively flat for transport. The table top is made by Chadwick Illusion Fabrications. Customization of this prop including color, positioning and number of wells, etc, is available upon request!
|This table has a felt covered top that gives it a softer look for thinks like card work, cups and balls, and so forth. The table top measures about 14" x 16" and generally comes with red felt. Other table top sizes and felt colors are available upon request. Comes complete with a Eureka Table Base.
|This unique side table features silk screened colors, packs flat, and is about 30 inches tall with a 19 x 16 inch table top. Truly a beautiful piece, especially for kid shows. Only one available.
|This is no doubt the finest folding tripod style table that has ever been available to the magic fraternity. High-tech materials provide a stable platform that is free from wobbling or vibration. The non-skid 11" x 13" tray-top connects instantly and securely to the fully adjustable tripod. It is made from the finest black anodized aircraft-quality aluminum and composites. The table adjusts from 19" to 41" high and sets up in seconds. Folds to a mere 2" x 18-1/2", comes complete with a carrying bag, and weighs only 26 ounces. Not that we pay shipping for this item! Highly recommended.
|Ready, Set, Go Like A Pro! The Pro Table is an elegant magic table for the working performer. The table surface is a casino gaming grade surface that is perfect for any close-up or stand-up magic including the performances for cards, coins, cups & ball and more. The Blackjack Foam Cushion working area is a full 21.5" x 33.25" (Inches). Additionally the table includes a built-in mini drawer to store decks and various apparatus. The table is a normal 32" inches tall with solid hardwood legs. The entire table ready for transport is a mere 32 pounds, and a heavy duty nylon carrying bag with shoulder carrying strap is included free. The shipping box dimensions is 40" x 28" x 6." Note that the MSRP for this item is $599. This is a clearance item and so for a limited time, we are offering these tables at BELOW wholesale! Note that these tables are limited to available stock and the price is subject to change without notice. 00053mm6601
|This is a neat table design. The upper cabinet of the table is designed to fit inside the lower cabinet for transport. To set-up, reverse the procedure by pulling the upper cabinet out of the back of the lower cabinet, and then set it on top of the lower cabinet. The panel displayed loose in the picture slides down the aluminum trim slots on back of the upper cabinet so that magic items can easily be transported in the table. Additional free-wheeling castors and side handles are available at no extra charge. The picture here is of a wood-grained laminate design. Any array of colors and Formica designs can be chosen since each table is custom built for customers by Chadwick Illusion Fabrications.

text: Australian reporting season wrap: Rewriting the script for growth After many years of the same old story – cost cutting and slow revenue growth story, February 2018's reporting season has offered up some positive news for the Australian market and economy. 15 March 2018 Our team of Australian investment specialists led by Reece Birtles, Martin Currie Australia's Chief Investment Officer, look back at the February 2018 reporting season. They share their unique view into Australian companies and industry sectors, providing insight on how individual company profit results translate into portfolio activity. Over the four-week reporting period our team conducted around 100 meetings with company management teams following the release of results. These meetings enabled us to gain a better understanding of the issues and strategies of each business that we use to refine our views on each investment case. Download full PDF report AUSTRALIAN REPORTING SEASON WRAP: REWRITING THE SCRIPT FOR GROWTH There were high expectations for good results before companies reported, reflecting growing confidence in the economy's growth. Actual results went on to significantly beat consensus forecasts on sales growth, signifying one of the best reporting season in many years. What was particularly pleasing was the improved sales numbers for the industrials sector (that is, the market ex resources), finally reversing the persistently weak revenue trend of the past five years. Companies also appear to be spending more to achieve those higher sales, resulting in lower profit margins, in contrast to the past few years where cost-outs were the main driver of profit growth. In this reporting season, we are starting to see tangible signs that Australia's nominal GDP growth is recovering, and that this growth is spreading from resources and property into the broader domestic economy. Albeit behind the head start made by the US, growth and inflation looks to be finally making its way back into corporate Australia.
