text: Hi, all.I'm in Sweden with time to do some personal work in a few days. Does anyone have suggestions about where would be a good place to shoot?I'm in the Stockholm region. Am willing to travel a bit, but probably not more than a few hours. Looking for great nature and landscape opportunities, perhaps wildlife. National Park type of place, most likely. Coastline, mountains, forest, waterfalls. Maybe even a lighthouse. :-)Also, I'd probably prefer to focus on one region rather than driving distances from place to place. But would consider all options.Thank you for any advice you can offer.Best,Chris

text: My wife and I both now love "The Duck". I had the pizza and wings and I was not disappointed. They are both easily the beat I've ever eaten this side of the border. The wings are large and crispy and the pizza has a nice thin crust and tons of cheesy goodness. My wife had the Blue Cheese Burger and when it arrived we both marveled at how massive the homemade patty was. She also couldn't stop commenting on how great the homemade blue cheese sauce and handcut fries were. The service was great (the waitress was hilarious and had us both in stitches) and they we're also showing the hockey game on a huge TV in HD! I would highly recommend this fine and historied establishment to anyone looking for exceptional food at a great price.

Question Asked: timing belt + water pump repair cost
April 06, 2015, 12:51 PM
Hi, I have a Hyundai Santa Fe 2005 (3.5 GLS V6). It's milage is close to 120K. I guess I need to change the Timing belt. However, when I am approaching the repair shops for the same, they are insisting that I should also change the water pump. So after reading some of the online forums (which confirms what the shop told me) I gather that it is better to change the water pump. However, they are charging me somewhat in the vicinity of $1200 for both. But online I saw the the parts cost around $160 (for timing belt) and $60 for water pump, and the labor costs max $600 (approx). So together it should cost me not more than $900. But then why are they charging $1200 (approx) ? I live in Pittsburgh, PA. Any suggestions/opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Question Asked: Cold air is rushing in from the passenger side footboard. How to stop it ?
December 11, 2014, 08:44 AM
Cold air is rushing in, even when the heater is running, from the passenger side footboard. This gets bad when driving above 50 miles/hour. In a recent trip to Minnesota, the passenger side was getting cold due to air rushing in. This happened after the hyundai dealers put in the Hyundai warranted guards (which was done right before the trip). I took the car to the dealer who worked on my car, and they are saying there is no problem. But there is definitely some thing wrong. I have been driving this car since 2006 and I drove it in harsh cold winters of Minnesota and Pensylvannia, but everything was fine before they installed the guards. I want to know if while putting in the guards could they accidentally left an opening or what else could led to such a problem. I am at a loss. So if I get an idea what may be causing it, I could talk to the repair guys better. Thanks
Question Asked: Mechanical sound from the car when accelerating.
February 15, 2014, 06:34 AM
When I am accelerating beyond a certain speed (~50 miles), I am hearing a certain noise from the car. When I brake, for example when coming to a stop or light or driving at a slower speed, it stops (or I couldn't hear it). Initially, I could hear it from time to time, but yesterday, I could hear it continuously. I want to know if this is a routine things to happen for Hyundai Santa Fee (2005 model) and if so how to fix it, the cost of fixing etc. If not, any idea as to what could be wrong so that I can get a sense of what the machine shop would tell me and what could be a possible price range for the repair work. Thanks a lot for your advice.
Question Asked: Do I need a timing belt replace soon ? Mileage 109000 (approx)
February 04, 2014, 10:57 AM
I had it changed (Hyndai shop advised) when the mileage was 59000.

The competition is under way to provide air-ground data communications in U.S. domestic airspace, a key piece of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). At the same time, the FAA has asked its NextGen Advisory Committee (NAC) to recommend a data communications "roadmap" through 2030, taking into account different datalink standards. Airbus and Boeing have weighed in with a joint letter opposing an incremental standard that would align U.S. and European systems in the short term.
Responses to a request for offers for the FAA's Data Communications Integrated Services (DCIS) acquisition came due in early October. The program, which plans to award a contract in 2012, seeks a contractor to provide ground-to-ground and air-to-ground segments of a data network between ATC service points and data comm-equipped aircraft. AIN has verified that Harris and ITT stand among DCIS bidders. Harris serves as prime contractor of the FAA Telecommunications Infrastructure, the network supporting voice, data and video communications at 4,000 FAA and Department of Defense facilities. ITT is building the ground infrastructure for automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B), a nationwide network of radio stations.
The FAA plans to deploy data communications in ATC towers by 2014 to transmit departure clearances to pilots, followed by en-route messaging from air route traffic control centers to aircraft in 2018. It will implement data comm in two steps, starting with existing Fans 1/A standard datalink avionics used by Boeing and Airbus models in oceanic airspace and moving to the Aeronautical Telecommunications Network (ATN) Baseline 2 standard, currently in development, to align with Europe later this decade. Budget reductions have led the FAA to delay ATN B2 implementation to about 2020, lagging Europe's schedule by two years.
In a September 15 letter to the NAC, Boeing and Airbus argue against U.S. introduction of an incremental standard–ATN B1–that would align sooner with Europe's 2014 data comm mandate under the Link 2000+ program. ATN B1 is not an "integrated" standard or one allowing for the exchange of digital messages between ground automation systems and aircraft flight management systems, the airframers say. They also see no need to match Europe's ATN B1 mandate in U.S. domestic airspace, noting that aircraft flying between the continents will need Fans 1/A avionics to meet a North Atlantic mandate. "The European data comm roadmap has a path different [from that] in the U.S., but to the same end," the letter states.

Donghae himself participated in composing and writing the lyrics for the song, and the boys are dedicating their song to ELFs who've stuck with them for 8 years since their debut.

Testing for Unit Roots: Threshold Autoregression and Asymmetric Trend Stationarity
In recent research Enders and Granger (1998) have extended the Augmented Dickey Fuller statistic to allow the unit root hypothesis to be tested against an alternative of stationarity with asymmetric adjustment. In this paper the threshold autoregressive (TAR) and momentum threshold autoregressive (MTAR) unit root tests proposed by Enders and Granger are applied to data on UK investment. It is found that the TAR, MTAR and standard Augmented Dickey-Fuller tests fail to reject the unit root hypothesis. In contrast, an alternative modified TAR unit root test is proposed which rejects non stationarity using specifically derived Monte Carlo critical values. Further testing rejects the null hypothesis of symmetric adjustment, with the form of asymmetry detected supporting recent theoretical predictions for investment behaviour presented by Gale (1996). The results obtained show the form of asymmetry incorporated within the Enders-Granger test to critically influence the resulting inferences drawn.

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Singapore, Singapore, 2009/11/26 - The Asia-Pac IPTV subscriber base is expected to grow by 51 percent in 2009 to close at 9.4 million users and account for 37.6 percent of the global subscribers.
According to Frost & Sullivan industry analyst Adeel Najam, the region has seen rapid uptake of IPTV services, clocking year-on-year subscriber growth rates of over 60 percent annually for the last three years. He expects Asia-Pac to be the second largest IPTV market in the world by the end of this year; a very close second after Western Europe - which is the oldest IPTV market - housing 38.3 percent of the world's subscription.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (communicationservices.frost.com), Asia-Pacific IPTV Update, finds that the IPTV subscriber base in the region - covering 14 Asia-Pac countries including Japan - will grow at a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 24.6 percent annually between 2009 and 2014, soaring to an estimated 23.5 million subscribers by end-2014.
In 2008, only eight Asia-Pac nations had commercial IPTV offerings - China, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, India - and subscribers stood at 6.27 million; while Vietnam launched IPTV services in late 2009.
After some delays, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand are all expected to roll-out IPTV services in the next 12 months, with the Philippines last on the bandwagon in 2011.
Apart from Hong Kong (where IPTV is the foremost pay TV platform with a 54 percent market share in 2008), Taiwan, South Korea (predominantly video-on-demand services), Singapore and China, IPTV has so far made tepid in-roads as a major pay TV service elsewhere in the region.
Najam however expects IPTV to gather steam as high-speed broadband projects materialise and operators push ahead to offer multi-play services to make good their costly fibre investments. "After fibre deployments, service providers must offer services like IPTV to maximize revenue potential and return on investments," he says.
The key considerations for IPTV's success, he says, are broadband penetration levels and low pay TV presence. As such, Najam believes that as much as 62 percent of the IPTV subscriber net additions from now till 2014 will come from emerging markets like China, Indonesia, Vietnam, India, Thailand and the Philippines, where other pay TV players such as cable operators have yet to make a significant impact. Adoption in these countries however will be restricted to urban areas where high-speed broadband networks are present.
"Another perennial critical determinant is, of course, content," Najam continues. He attributes Hong Kong's PCCW's success of its 'now TV' service - the world's fifth largest IPTV operator and the SAR's leading pay TV service provider - in no small part, to the right mix of premium and local content.
"With the right content strategy, PCCW not only managed to capture more than 30 percent of Hong Kong's highly competitive pay TV market within the first two years, but has now tripled its average per user revenue and kept subscriber churn to under one percent," says Najam.
"Exclusive content, wherever local regulations permit, will give operators a leg up in the game," he adds. Citing SingTel's recent win for sole broadcast rights to three seasons of EPL, "The exclusivity deal may not be enough to topple Singapore's dominant cable TV operator, StarHub, anytime soon, but it clearly gives SingTel a skin in the game and is likely to earn the telco a respectable number of IPTV subscribers," Najam concludes.

Demi Moore 'dating actor'
Demi Moore has reportedly got a new man in her life.
The star struggled to get over her marriage split from Ashton Kutcher last year, culminating in her checking into rehab.
She is now feeling better and has decided to move on with her life. It's been claimed the 49-year-old actress has been romancing Thomas Jane, who she appeared with in the movie LOL.
"Demi and Thomas go way back and they've always had a connection," a source told the British edition of Grazia magazine. "Now, what started as him flirting on-set has turned into swapping texts and a number of dates. It's early days, but Demi thinks he's great and says she loves how different he is to Ashton."
Demi has relied on her friends for support since her break-up, which came after Ashton was accused of being unfaithful.
Courteney Cox is one star who has been there for Demi and apparently helped set her up with Thomas.
The actor got divorced from Patricia Arquette last year. She is the sister of Courteney's estranged husband David and Courteney was convinced Thomas and Demi would get along romantically.
"Courteney's been one of Demi's biggest supporters in encouraging her to move on from Ashton," the insider explained.
"She has only good things to say about Thomas and thinks there's a great match."

But his resolve will no doubt be put to the test during the 26.2 mile run, which he plans to do in full cricket kit and pads, cricketworld.com reports.
He will be joined on the day by Simon Woodard, a member of the Lord's Taverners – a charity which helps to give young people, particularly those with special needs, a chance to get involved with sports.
Flower will also be raising money for Hope for Children, a charity helping disabled, orphaned, poor and exploited children, and Factor 50, a patient support group for those who suffer from skin cancer.
"These are all fantastic causes and I want to do my bit to help," he said. "I'll be doing as much as I can to get cash from the England players – and I need your support, too."
Those wishing to sponsor his marathon attempt can do so via Flower's Just Giving page at justgiving.com/andy-flower.
Meanwhile, the Daily Telegraph's fitness expert Tony Gallagher recently provided some training advice for those planning on running the marathon themselves, stressing the importance of getting your body used to running long distances.
"If you're planning on a marathon, then you must get your long runs in," he said. "If you arrive at the start line and suddenly ask your body to run a third more miles than ever before, you'll struggle."

Exeter City Football Club makes stand against homophobia in football
PUBLISHED: 20:11 22 February 2012
© All images copyrighted by the owner, Keith Stone
EXETER City Football Club joined the rest of football in marking the international 'Football v Homophobia' campaign at its home game with Bury on Saturday, February 18.
The Club's One Game One Community group, in partnership with The Justin Campaign, was highlighting and challenging the on-going prejudice still experienced by gay players and fans.
The initiative was supported by the Devon Lions, the county's local gay friendly football team, who, along with players from gay team, Birmingham Blaze, gave out leaflets to the crowd. The Lions played the Blaze the following day in the national gay football league.
'Football v Homophobia' was set up by The Justin Campaign, which was formed after the death of Justin Fashanu who to-date is the only English professional footballer to "come out" as gay. He tragically committed suicide in 1998 having suffered not only racism but also bullying and hostility after his sexual orientation became public.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Justin Fashanu playing at St James' Park for Torquay against Exeter in an Autoglass trophy match.
The Justin Campaign aim is to tackle homophobia and prejudice against lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) people. The 'Football v Homophobia' initiative focused on a week of action between February 18 and 26, to make football safe and welcoming for everyone.
Exeter City FC have made clear their commitment to all forms of equality and diversity and their One Game One Community ambassador, striker John O'Flynn underlined this by coaching a Devon Lions training session along with fellow first team player Richard Duffy.
O'Flynn, said: "Football should be about bringing people together whatever their backgrounds.
Let's help make Exeter City a true community club welcoming to all be they young or old, black or white, male or female, gay or straight, disabled or able-bodied, with faith or without. As the saying goes - united we stand; divided we fall."
The Devon Lions and Birmingham Blaze enjoyed watching Exeter beat Bury 3-2 and the result of their own game the following day was a 1-1 draw.
Alan Quick, South West Coordinator for The Justin Campaign, thanked all those involved in helping to highlight the issue and all those who had helped on the day.

Clergy abuse victims protested Wednesday outside the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles after learning that a visiting priest who was convicted of multiple sex abuse counts had a prior criminal history in Italy and was rejected by another Southern California diocese because of concerns about his past.
Dan Rather reported Tuesday on the cable channel HDNet that the Rev. Fernando Lopez Lopez pleaded guilty in 2000 to repeated sexual violence on a minor in Italy before he left the Diocese of Tivoli and arrived in Southern California. Efforts by The Associated Press to confirm the report were not immediately successful.
Lopez Lopez, 47, had been turned away by the Diocese of San Bernardino because of concerns about his past in Italy, including the priest's own statements that some parishioners there believed he was abusing drugs and having sexual contact with members of the parish youth group, according to court papers reviewed by the AP.
The Los Angeles archdiocese accepted his application, however, and assigned the young priest to St. Thomas the Apostle where he went on to molest at least three children. Lopez Lopez was convicted of multiple sex abuse counts in 2005 and served three years of a nearly seven-year sentence before being deported to his native Colombia.
Michael Hennigan, an attorney representing the Los Angeles archdiocese and retired Cardinal Roger Mahony, told the AP in an e-mail the archdiocese was not told by the Italian diocese about any misconduct by Lopez Lopez and would never have accepted him in ministry if it knew of any problems.
The archdiocese received a completed affidavit from the priest's Italian bishop when he was hired in 2001 saying he was fit for duty, according to court papers. The church later removed him from ministry and contacted police after receiving a complaint in 2004. The church's own investigation uncovered Lopez Lopez's other victims, Hennigan said.
There was no answer Wednesday at the Diocese of Tivoli, where it was a church holiday.
One of the priest's victims, who was a primary witness in the 2005 criminal trial, is now suing the archdiocese, alleging it should never have hired Lopez Lopez given the warning signs and didn't act fast enough after receiving notice of past problems.
"They should have never put him into ministry," said Vince Finaldi, an attorney for the plaintiff. "He showed up unannounced. There was no introduction made, he just basically showed up on their door step."
The Associated Press does not generally identify people who claim they are victims of sexual abuse or misconduct.
The plaintiff, now 22, claims he cut himself, abused drugs, developed an eating disorder and tried to commit suicide because of the abuse. Lopez Lopez molested him for the first time during confession when the boy was 12 and abused him three times a week for several months, according to court papers.
Lopez Lopez had befriended the boy's grandmother, who had custody of him and was dying of lung cancer. The priest helped with her care by taking the boy on trips to buy food and other supplies. While running the errands, he would molest the boy in the car and also abused him in the parish rectory and at the boy's home when his grandmother was in the hospital, the papers allege.
In San Bernardino, where Lopez Lopez had applied before coming to Los Angeles, the monsignor in charge of hiring new priests asked why he didn't have a letter of introduction from his Italian bishop and wrote to the Tivoli diocese. He received a reply that made references to unsubstantiated allegations and indicated the priest had left the diocese under a mutual agreement.
When the monsignor confronted Lopez Lopez, the priest acknowledged that parishioners had complained that he behaved inappropriately with young people and that some people believed he was having sexual relationships with members of his youth group and using drugs with them, court documents state.
Lopez Lopez denied the allegations and told the monsignor the boys were all over age 18.
Still, there were enough questions that the diocese didn't give him a position, said John Andrews, a spokesman for the San Bernardino diocese.
Lopez Lopez was hired in Los Angeles about three months later and in 2004, the monsignor in San Bernardino became aware that he was working in Los Angeles. He wrote his counterpart with what he had learned three years before about Lopez Lopez because of the "current age of total disclosure," according to court filings.
Los Angeles church officials did not confront Lopez Lopez with the information for two months.
When they did, the priest said the monsignor had misunderstood their conversation. He said the teens in Italy had been kicked out of the youth group for using drugs and having homosexual contact, and it had created hard feelings among parishioners when the pastor got involved.
Church officials in Los Angeles also wrote to the Tivoli diocese and were told his file showed "conflicting voices" on the priest's behavior in Tivoli.
Hennigan, the archdiocese attorney, told the AP the letter from San Bernardino only involved "unsubstantiated rumors of misconduct with adults," and they were already investigating the claims when they received the first report of sexual misconduct in Los Angeles.
The archdiocese removed Lopez Lopez in July 2004 after receiving its first complaint, six months after it had received the warning letter from San Bernardino.
Associated Press writer Alessandra Rizzo in Rome contributed to this report.

Paul Corupe's review published on Letterboxd :
Jon Voight goes undercover as a former SS officer and hunts Nazi survivors in this tense and often beautifully shot '70s thriller. It's a little on the methodical side, but buoyed by great performances by Voight (probably his last really good one) and Maximilian Schell, plus there's a tense climax that brings in a nice twist to make it all worthwhile. The realistic concentration camp sequence and scenes of old party Nazi loyalty, such as the German beer hall meeting, still arouse disgust and bring home just what Voight's investigative reporter character is trying to accomplish. Those that criticize the film's curious musical score--Perry Como's accordion-laced "Christmas Dream" is the theme--should pay closer attention to its dark lyrics.

Stop Social Recruiting Vultures From Stealing Your Talent
August 12, 2013
Recruiting Under the Dome
By Peter Weddle for
The new CBS series Under the Dome explores what happens to the people of a small town when they're completely cut off from the rest of the world. It's a tale of endurance and intrigue, and a happy break from summer reruns on the network channels. For
, however, it's also a guide to how best to implement post-social recruiting, the next stage in using the Web as a social medium for talent acquisition.
In the TV show, the citizens of Chester's Mill, Maine suddenly find themselves locked inside a huge impenetrable dome. People can see in and out of the enclosure, but they can't pass through it. In effect, there's the rest of the world on the outside and a small, clearly demarked community on the inside. It's the perfect metaphor for post-social recruiting.
Recruiters use social media sites to find, connect and communicate with talented prospects. This method should be used sparingly. Whether it is a well-known social networking website or not, what you do and whom you do it with is in in the public domain. In effect, you are trying to connect with top prospects "outside the dome."
Oh sure, you can make your social recruiting group private, but doing so doesn't prevent the social media site from seeing who's participating. Why is that a problem? Because these social media networking sites sell job postings to your competitors enabling them to target the very same prospects with whom you're trying to
and build relationships.
Talent Acquisition Under the Dome
Post-social recruiting involves building online relationships with top talent in the privacy of your own corporate Web-site. Unlike today's job application pages (whether they're called a "career center" or simply labeled "employment"), this domed area is a protected space for networking with the kinds of passive prospects you meet on social media sites. Because it's under your dome, however, your networking strategies and the resulting relationships are hidden from the public including your competitors.
Here's how talent acquisition under the dome works.
First, invite them to your domed community. What value proposition would encourage such fickle talent to make the pilgrimage? The opportunity to learn the principles and practices of the single most important skill for success in today's hyper turbulent workplace – effective career self-management.
Second, you establish a neighborhood that's adjacent and linked to your job application page. This neighborhood is branded as your employer's "careerstead" – a virtual homestead for the careers of talented people. Why do they need such a place? Because even the best talent are now on their own; companies no longer provide the career management support they used to offer their employees.
Third, you operate the "careerstead" as a professional service community, building relationships with prospects by helping them learn and practice the best strategies and tactics not for job search, but for career advancement. How do you acquire this content? By using internal resources if you have them or external resources (e.g., career book authors or counselors) if you don't, and by using social features on your site (e.g., discussion forums and blogs) to promote wisdom sharing among peers.
Yes, there's a cost to developing and maintaining such a post-social campaign, but it's no more than what you already invest in pages and groups on commercial social media sites. The difference is that your return on that investment is likely to be much greater because it is achieved under the dome where it is protected from the prying eyes and intrusive acts of others.

BLACKBURN Rovers have signed Fulham midfielder Ryan Tunnicliffe and Middlesbrough goalkeeper Jason Steele on season-long loans.
The duo completed their moves just before the window closed at 11pm.
Tunnicliffe said: "I can't wait to get started.
"First and foremost it is a massive club, a club that belongs in the Premier League, so I'm looking forward to getting back playing and obviously the target is to get the club back up there."
Earlier in the day Rovers signed Shane Duffy on a three-year deal from Everton while allowing fellow centre back Jack O'Connell to rejoin Rochdale on loan until January 3.

Thousands of Santas take part in Christmas fun run
Thousands of runners dressed as Father Christmas took part in Liverpool's annual Santa Dash at the weekend.
Over 8,000 runners took part in the fun run, including gymnast Beth Tweddle, beating last year's turnout of 6,900 Santas.
The event was followed by a 1km "mini dash" for children, which attracted around 1,000 youngsters.
There were also mums with buggies, pet owners with dogs and the odd blue Santa taking part.
Although it did not break the world record, which was smashed in Las Vegas last year with 8,864 runners, organisers hope it will be crowned the biggest Santa Dash this year.
A spokeswoman for the event said: 'It was the most runners we have ever had, so although we did not break last year's world record, we beat the record for Liverpool.'
' It was a brilliant atmosphere and everyone was in festive spirits – thank you to everyone who made the day special.'

"The objective of religious education in the Church Educational System is to assist the individual, the family, and priesthood leaders in accomplishing the mission of the Church" (Teaching the Gospel: A Handbook for CES Teachers and Leaders [1994], 3). The first area of emphasis in meeting this objective is to teach students the gospel of Jesus Christ as it is found in the standard works and the words of the prophets. This manual is provided to help you accomplish that—whatever your teaching experience and in whatever language or country you teach.
The second area of emphasis is to teach by precept, by example, and by the power of the Spirit. To teach by precept you must first seek, "by study and also by faith" (D&C 88:118), to understand the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ. To teach by example you must live the gospel in your personal life. Regarding teaching by the Spirit, Elder Boyd K. Packer, then a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, taught: "Power comes when a teacher has done all that he can to prepare, not just the individual lesson, but in keeping his life in tune with the Spirit. If he will learn to rely on the Spirit for inspiration, he can go before his class … secure in the knowledge that he can teach with inspiration" (Teach Ye Diligently [1975], 306). The power Elder Packer spoke of is manifest as a teacher bears personal testimony of the principle or doctrine being taught.
How to Use This Manual
The scriptures are to be your primary source as you prepare your lessons. To help you with your scripture study and in preparing your lessons, you should have the following manuals:
- •
This manual—Book of Mormon Teacher Resource Manual (item no. 34588)
- •
The home-study seminary student manual—Book of Mormon Student Study Guide (item no. 34187)
- •
The support materials for the Book of Mormon video series—Book of Mormon Video Guide (item no. 34810)
- •
The institute manual—Book of Mormon Student Manual: Religion 121 and 122 (item no. 32506)
These manuals do not replace your study of the scriptures, nor do they substitute for the guidance of the Holy Ghost as you prepare to teach your students. They are additional resources for your lesson preparation. In particular, the Book of Mormon Teacher Resource Manual provides introductory information to the scripture blocks, outlines important gospel principles to look for, and suggests ways many of those principles might be taught so as to help students understand them and apply them in their lives.
"The CES administration has determined that in the CES weekday setting, where more time is available for instruction, the scriptures should be taught in a sequential manner. One of the best ways to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ is to teach the scriptures sequentially. Sequential scripture teaching is teaching the scriptures in the sequence they appear in the standard works" (Teaching the Gospel: A Handbook, 20; see that page for more information on sequential scripture teaching). This manual follows the sequence of the scriptures but does not provide teaching helps for all of the verses in each scripture block. Additional helps are found in the institute student manual and the seminary student study guide.
Teaching the Gospel: A Handbook for CES Teachers and Leaders (item no. 34829) gives detailed help on teaching a CES class. You should become very familiar with its contents. The following general suggestions may be helpful in your lesson preparation.
Prepare Yourself to Study and Teach the Gospel
- •
Live the gospel.
- •
Pray for the Spirit to guide you as you study, as you prepare, and as you teach.
- •
Exercise faith in the Lord, in the power of the Spirit, and in the power of the scriptures to meet the needs of your students.
Decide What You Will Teach
- •
Decide what portion of the scriptures you want to cover in your lesson. This manual is divided into scripture blocks that indicate where the story line or the subject changes. The pacing guide on pages 5–6 can help you determine how much material to cover each day or week.
- •
Study the scripture block thoroughly. Read it several times, making note of the doctrines, principles, events, and difficult words or phrases. This manual, the institute student manual, and the student study guide will help you understand the scripture block and decide what is important for your students. You will be more effective in your teaching if you have discovered something inspiring in the scripture block. You might then lead your students to make a similar discovery.
- •
Choose those doctrines, principles, and events that are most important for your students to know. Let the promptings of the Spirit and the needs of your students guide you as you decide what to teach.
Decide How You Will Teach
- •
Choose one or more teaching methods for each event, principle, or doctrine you want to teach. Use your own methods or those suggested in the curriculum materials.
- •
Choose methods that encourage student readiness, participation, and application.
Readiness means that students are prepared spiritually and intellectually, alert, focused, and willing to participate in the learning experience. "Readiness is a condition of the heart as well as the mind" (Teaching the Gospel: A Handbook, 13). It is not a gimmick used to start a lesson; it is a continual assessment of your students' focus.
Participation means that students are involved in the learning process. Their participation may be physical, emotional, and intellectual, as well as spiritual. The more involved students are in the learning process, the more they will understand, remember, and apply.
Application means that students accept the ideas being taught, understand how they can apply them in their lives, and then seek to live according to those principles.
How This Manual Is Organized
The resource materials for the scripture blocks are found in four sections.
Introductory Material
The "Introduction" section provides background material and other information to help you understand the scripture block in its historical and scriptural setting. Introductory material is also provided for each book of scripture. These, together with background information in the student study guide and the institute student manual, can enhance your own study and understanding of the scriptures.
You can also use the introductory material to provide:
- •
Motivating questions to ask your students and promote learner readiness.
- •
Background information, things for students to look for as they read, and other prereading helps.
- •
Quotations to display or write on the board, or notes for the students to write in their scriptures.
Some Important Gospel Principles to Look For
You may find many important doctrines and principles in a scripture block. The "Some Important Gospel Principles to Look For" section lists many of those you might want to teach your students. The following are ways to use them in your teaching:
- •
Use them as a standard to ensure that correct doctrine is being taught.
- •
Use them to help determine what your students need to be taught.
- •
Write them on the board to give students principles to look for as they study the scripture block.
- •
Invite students to look for additional scripture references that support or explain the doctrine.
Additional Resources
The "Additional Resources" section provides corresponding page numbers in the Book of Mormon institute student manual to help you locate resource information. References to materials in the appendix are also included.
Suggestions for Teaching
The "Suggestions for Teaching" section contains teaching ideas you may want to consider as you decide how to teach the events, principles, and doctrines you have chosen from the scripture block. You are not required to use these teaching suggestions. They are provided as a resource for you as you consider the needs of your students with the direction of the Spirit. You will also find useful suggestions in the student study guide that can be adapted for use in the classroom (see
The headings for the teaching suggestions include the following information:
- •
Statement of Focus. Introducing each suggestion is a section in bold type that tells the scripture block and principle that particular teaching suggestion focuses on. These statements of focus often correspond to the principles found in the "Some Important Gospel Principles to Look For" section of the scripture block.
- •
Scripture Mastery. Teaching suggestions that include scripture mastery passages are identified with the icon shown here. President Howard W. Hunter, then President of the Quorum of the Twelve, said, "We would hope none of your students would leave your classroom fearful or embarrassed or ashamed that they cannot find the help they need because they do not know the scriptures well enough to locate the proper passages" (The Teachings of Howard W. Hunter, ed. Clyde J. Williams [1997], 187).
"Scripture mastery" is a method for teaching students how to find scripture verses, gain an understanding of their meaning, and apply them in their lives. One hundred scriptural passages—twenty-five for each scripture course—have been chosen to receive special emphasis in seminary. These references are labeled "Scripture Mastery" in the teaching suggestions where they are found. You should help students master the scripture mastery references by reviewing them in class and encouraging students to learn them on their own. For suggestions on how to encourage scripture mastery in your classes, as well as a list of the scripture mastery references for all four courses of study, see "Scripture Mastery" and "Scripture Mastery Lists" in the appendix (
pp. 285, 289; see also Teaching the Gospel: A Handbook, pp. 34–35).
- •
Weekly Icon. This icon identifies teaching suggestions recommended for a teacher in a home-study program or one who wants help teaching larger blocks of scripture.
- •
Time Designation. At the end of the heading is the approximate amount of time it would take to teach that suggestion. It is included only to help you plan your daily lessons and is not an indication of how much time should be spent teaching that suggestion.
Other Teaching Helps
- •
Book of Mormon Video (item no. 53785).This video package contains presentations to help you teach the Book of Mormon. Teaching suggestions for the Book of Mormon Video presentations are found in the Book of Mormon Video Guide (item no. 34810). Scripture blocks for which there is a video presentation are designated with the icon shown here and a note at the beginning of the teaching suggestions section.
- •
Appendix. Occasionally a teaching suggestion refers to a chart, harmony, or handout in the appendix that can help you teach that suggestion. These items are referred to by title and page number for your convenience.
- •
Gospel Art Picture Kit (item no. 34730). The 160 color pictures in this package depict scripture and Church history stories and illustrate gospel principles. All pictures used in the teaching suggestions in this manual come from the Gospel Art Picture Kit. The kit is available in ward and branch libraries throughout the Church. Note: If you ordered the Gospel Art Picture Kit before 1999, you may also need the Supplement (item no. 34740) to have all 160 pictures.
- •
Student Reading of the Book of Mormon. Encourage students to read the entire Book of Mormon. President Spencer W. Kimball once said: "I find that when I get casual in my relationships with divinity and when it seems that no divine ear is listening and no divine voice is speaking, that I am far, far away. If I immerse myself in the scriptures the distance narrows and the spirituality returns" (The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, ed. Edward L. Kimball [1982], 135).
Encourage your students to follow the assignments in the "Book of Mormon Reading Chart" in the Book of Mormon Student Study Guide. (You may need to adapt this chart to your school year.) This will help them pace their reading to correspond with class activities.
Students who want to read ahead may do so, but encourage them to review the scripture block the class will be studying during the week. Using the reading chart will challenge you to pace yourself during the year so you can teach the entire Book of Mormon.
- •
Students with Special Needs "Special needs" is a general term used to identify students of unique circumstances. It may include those with reading or learning disabilities, behavioral disorders, and intellectual disabilities. It may also include those who are incarcerated, attending alternative schools, confined to wheelchairs, homebound, hearing or visually impaired, and so forth.
The Prophet Joseph Smith said, "All the minds and spirits that God ever sent into the world are susceptible of enlargement" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, sel. Joseph Fielding Smith [1976], 354). You should make every reasonable effort to meet the learning needs of all your students. It may not be possible to meet all the needs of all the students all the time. You can, however, be aware of the special needs of your students and adapt the regular curriculum materials so that all students can gain something from at least part of each lesson. Other students can also be given the opportunity to help students with special needs. Such selfless service is a blessing to both the giver and the receiver.
In addition to the regular curriculum materials, other materials are available to help teach those with special needs. The Church Educational System Publications Catalog lists the Beginning Course, a highly visual, simplified curriculum for students on a second- to fourth-grade reading level. The catalog also includes items in braille and on audiocassette or videocassette. (For these and related materials, see "Specialized Curriculum" in the subject index.) Note that all new CES videos produced for the classroom are closed-captioned. In addition to the CES catalog, the Church Materials Catalog includes many helpful items for students with special needs (see especially the "Audiocassettes"; "Disabilities, Materials for Members with"; "Videocassettes"; and "Videocassettes, American Sign Language" sections in the subject index). The Church magazines are good sources for articles, pictures, and ideas that may relate to the special needs of your students. The Gospel Art Picture Kit is another source of pictures that may help you in your teaching.
An Introduction for Teachers to the Book of Mormon Student Study Guide
The Book of Mormon Student Study Guide helps students read the Book of Mormon and then ponder and apply its teachings. It is required for the home-study program, but most daily teachers will also find it useful in their preparation and teaching.
Use in the Home-Study Seminary Program
Seminary is a five-day-a-week program (or its equivalent) throughout the school year. Because home-study seminary classes meet only once a week, home-study students should use the student study guide the other four days. Although all students are encouraged to read the scriptures daily, home-study students should understand that they are expected to spend 30–40 minutes a day for four school days each week working on the activities and assignments in the study guide.
Students do not write in their study guides. Use one of the following options for written assignments:
- •
Have each student do the written work on pages in a loose-leaf notebook and submit the pages completed each week. When you return the work, the student can put the pages back in the notebook.
- •
Have each student use two notebooks and alternate between them. The first week, the student works in one notebook and submits it to you when class is held. The next week the student writes in the other notebook, and then exchanges it in class for the first notebook, and so on.
After you collect the students' work each week, read it and write comments to the students. This is an excellent way for you to get to know your students and determine how well they are understanding their studies. You can help motivate your students by inviting them to share some of what they wrote in their notebooks as part of the weekly class lessons.
Grading the Student Notebooks
There is no answer sheet for checking the activities in the student study guide. Some of the answers are found in the scriptures and should be apparent to you as you familiarize yourself with each activity. Other answers are based on the students' ideas, experiences, opinions, and testimonies. In these cases there may not be a single correct answer. Evaluate and grade students on the degree of effort made based on their abilities. As you write your comments, correct any misunderstandings or answers that are clearly incorrect, and praise students for their effort.
Be sensitive to students with special needs and adapt the student study guide accordingly. For example, students with disabilities that make writing difficult might be allowed to use a tape recorder to record their work or have friends or family members write for them. You may need to adapt the number of study activities assigned to some students because of special needs. Other students may be advanced and could be encouraged to go beyond the minimum requirements.
Use in the Daily Seminary Program
The Book of Mormon Student Study Guide is not required for students in daily seminary programs, but you should provide a desk copy for each student. You can then have students refer to the "Understanding the Scriptures" sections for help in understanding difficult words and phrases and for quotations and explanations.
While preparing lessons, look at the introduction to each scripture block and the "Studying the Scriptures" section for help in deciding what and how to teach. For example, some of the introductions provide discussion questions that help create learner readiness. Occasionally you may want to have students do one of the "Studying the Scriptures" activities during class and then have them share what they wrote, either in groups or with the entire class. Even when the activities are not followed exactly as prescribed in the study guide, they may provide good ideas that can be adapted for use in a classroom setting.

SUNSHINE Coast Falcons captain Ryan Hansen says his side is out for revenge in its round 22 Intrust Super Cup match against the Capras on Saturday.
Central Queensland embarrassed the Falcons at Kawana in round nine, smashing the Coast side 36-0.
Adding salt to the wounds, the defeat meant the Falcons equalled the state league's worst losing sequence.
But the Falcons are a markedly different outfit these days after breaking their 36-game losing streak in round 19 with a 26-24 win over Redcliffe.
They followed that up a week later with a spirited performance against the PNG Hunters in New Guinea, pipped 25-24.
Last week's bye has given the Falcons a chance to soak up a monumental month, which culminated in the inking a of three-year player-feeder deal with NRL club the Melbourne Storm.
The recent mood is in stark contrast to the gloom at the club just three months ago after coach Ivan Henjak's resignation during the record losing streak.
Hansen said his side's confidence would spill on to the field in Gladstone when the Falcons ran out at their shortest odds in recent history.
"It is really good at the moment following the bye and a great vibe and I could not be happier," he said.
"They beat us 36-0 when they came here and played us last time so there is a bit of revenge on the mind.
"They have been in some very tough games but if we play to our potential, we can knock them off."
The Capras have the league's second worst record, with just three wins this season.
But the Jason Hetherington-coached team - like the Coast - has produced some encouraging performances.
FALCONS coach Glen Dreger said his side had historically struggled against the Capras and wanted to make up for past performances.
"They are actually our bogey and they seem to beat us all the time and they embarrassed us in the early rounds," he said.
"We are looking for that effort we showed against the Hunters, and the boys are fresh after a couple of weeks off.
"It was a huge effort over there and probably even looks better when you see what they did to Burleigh (56-12) over the weekend."

Cash-strapped Portsmouth seek new owners again
ESPN Soccernet can disclose that moves are afoot to sound out potential investors in Portsmouth with a view to subjecting the club to an amazing third takeover of the season.
• Pompey to fight winding-up order
Alexandre Gaydamak sold to Sulaiman Al-Fahim in August but the new owner spent just 42 days in charge at Fratton Park before a second buyout by Ali al-Faraj. With financial problems persisting at Portsmouth, and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) serving a winding-up petition on Wednesday, the search has now actively begun for a fresh investor.
It is understood that the club's current debt stands at £75 million, and that £30 million is required immediately to keep the club afloat by meeting short-term cash flow demands, repayments to clubs and agents and to continue to pay staff wages.
Pompey issued a statement to express their "shock and surprise" at the action taken by HMRC and have pledged to contest the decision, but administration looms large unless the current owners can refinance or find yet another buyer. No Premier League club has gone into administration since the league was formed in 1992.
The search for a third owner already this season includes contacts being made in America, Asia and even another Arab nation. Although the club are confident of sorting out the immediate crisis of a winding-up order from the Revenue - with only one month's back payment now due at £3.5 million - the medium-to-long-term future of the club continues to look grim.
Administration is something the club want to avoid at all costs as with it comes a nine-point deduction which could well condemn the club to relegation from the Premier League.
ESPN Soccernet has learned that the financial crisis runs far deeper than paying the current month's wages of £1.8 million or placating HMRC which has been paid £9.7 million in recent months.
The main issue is that equity has not been put into the club by the latest Arab owners and nor has refinancing been secured to fulfil the obligations of short-term repayments to clubs owed transfer monies, agents and other general day-to-day cash flow commitments including the players' wages.
A source revealed: "The best solution for Portsmouth would be yet another owner. It could cost as little as £30 million to £40 million to buy a Premier League club, and that's pretty cheap. But that is the sort of money this club needs urgently, and as yet there is no sign of it arriving. It might do, the current owners are trying to refinance, and they want to see the club survive, but as yet it hasn't happened.
"This club needs to avoid administration at all costs. I don't believe it will happen with the Revenue. That will be sorted out. But long term, administration might very well happen if the club doesn't sort out its finances.
"Avram Grant believes he can turn around the results on the field, and save the club from relegation. If he does that then any new owner would be buying a Premier League club very cheaply, but even so it's difficult to find the right owner in the current economic climate, as this club has discovered already. We've had two Arab owners this season, and still searching for refinancing.
"So far the new owners have not been able to come up with any new bank loans or put any equity into the club. Instead it has loaned £15 million from Port Pin Ltd, owned by Balram Chainrai, to enable us to continue to pay the wages and pressing debts. That would bring the debt up to £75 million. A year ago the debut was close to £100 million, so it has improved. The debt is roughly £15 million of current loans, £30 million of ongoing loans to clubs, agents and Revenue, plus the loans to Sasha Gaydamak but much of that is long-term repayments so not pressing."
The Revenue's decision to serve a winding-up petition on December 23 against the club in the High Court has highlighted the danger of potential administration. Portsmouth have until a full hearing on February 10 to settle the Revenue and VAT payment of £3.5 million. "I don't think that is going to be a problem," a source confirmed. "They have paid £9.7 million to the Revenue so that indicates they are doing all they can, and also want to avoid administration."
Portsmouth confirmed on Thursday that they expect to pay their players' wages on January 5. The Premier League's bottom club have twice failed to pay players' wages on time this season and non-playing staff have already been informed that they will not receive December's wages until next week.
"Portsmouth Football Club expect to pay their first team squad's December salaries on Tuesday, January 5," read a statement. "The club has been speaking to the Professional Footballers' Association and the players have been informed.
"The club has been assured of receipt of funds by Tuesday and the owner and board have been working hard on resolving the short-term delay.''
