33(11) was the latest Osprey to return to Rutland Water, and elsewhere in Europe and North America, many other Ospreys are returning to their nest sites. It is great to report that four more of the Ospreys we followed as part of World Osprey Week have now made it home.
Sadly, there is also some bad news to report. It seems that Ilmari -one of the two Finnish birds we are following – has failed to make a long crossing of the Mediterranean from Libya to Greece. Here is the latest update on the two Finnish Ospreys from Professor Pertti Saurola…
Finnish Ospreys
4 April 2014
At 08:00 local time (07:00 GMT, there is no summer time / daylight saving in Algieria), Ilmari was flying 22 km from his stopover place; the satellite measured his occasional speed at 38 km per hour and altitude at 1,650 m above sea level, though only 204 m above land at that point. Around 10:00 Ilmari crossed the border to Libya. The next fix was not received until midnight, from the sandy desert 'in the middle of nowhere.' He travelled 368 km this day.
5 April 2014
At 09:00, local time (07:00 GMT – like Algeria, there is no summer time / daylight saving in Libya), Ilmari was at his stopover location, but two hours later he was in flight 19 km away, which means that he had set out at around 10:15-10:30. A fairly inexact Doppler fix indicates that Ilmari probably spent the night in the desert after covering some 314 km this day.
6 April 2014
Most of the fixes for this night and day are still missing. The first GPS fix is from 13:00 local time, some 184 km from the estimated stopover location of the previous night. His new stopover place was situated 56 km due south of the city of Misrata and 33 km from the Mediterranean coast. At an estimate, he flew 278 kilometres this day.
7 April 2014
At 09:00 local time, Ilmari was on the ground near Tawergha, 10 km from his overnight location. At noon, local time, Ilmari passed by Misrata and set out to cross the Mediterranean immediately, some 200 kilometres west of where he set out last spring.
This day, the last fix on Ilmari was received at 17:00 local Libyan time. At that time, Ilmari was flying in a north-easterly direction 167 km from the Libyan coast. Three GPS fixes received from the sea at 13:00, 15:00 and 17:00 showed that Ilmari flew at an altitude of 200 m above sea level, and that his average speed was 34 kilometres per hour.
8 April 2014
We did not receive a single GPS fix this day. However, we did receive four Doppler fixes of accuracy level "2", at 18:41, 19:27, 23:03, and 23:47 Greece summer time, along with four more inaccurate Doppler fixes. They all showed evidence of the same thing, that Ilmari was some 24 km to the south-southwest of the Schiza island outside the southwest horn of the Peloponnese peninsula. Unfortunately, it looks very likely that Ilmari has lost his life in the waves of the Mediterranean, since all these fixes during 11 hours (including all the inexact ones) have come from the sea. According to the fixes from 19:27 and 23:03, Ilmari floated 5.7 kilometres to the east-southeast in that time.
In total, Ilmari flew 771 km during his last day, and 751 of those kilometres were travelled at sea.
Why did Ilmari pass away? Did he fall victim to the illegal hunting common in Greece, as in other Mediterranean countries? Or did the hard weather conditions put a stop to Ilmari's travels, just some twenty kilometres from land – already in sight – and rest? We can only guess at the answers to these questions for now. A quick analysis of the weather, made by Professor Juhani Rinne, did not reveal anything dramatic. It is possible that Ilmari has had to fly against the wind and rain in the last stages. We cannot completely shut out the possibility of a thunderstorm, either. A future, more detailed analysis may shed more light on what part the weather conditions have played in Ilmari's death.
05 April 2014
At 9:00 local time (06:00 GMT), Heikki was flying to the west of Lake Turkana, 15 km from his stopover place. After flying 276 km along the western coast of Lake Turkana, Heikki stopped for the night near the northern end of the lake.
6 April 2014
At 9, local time, Heikki seems to have been feeding at the shores of Lake Turkana. During the following four hours, Heikki first flew 33 km northwest, and then 28 km due east to the delta of the Omo River, where he turned due north. After 15:00, Heikki crossed over to Ethiopia. He found his overnight location near the border to southern Sudan, after travelling 165 km this day.
7 April 2014
The first two fixes of this day, at 9:00 and 11:00 local time (06:00 and 08:00 GMT – Ethiopia does not have summer time / daylight saving), showed that Heikki had flown 16 km to the east-southeast from his roost, apparently to fish at River Omo. The following fixes were not received until 19 and 21 o'clock, 110 km from the previous one. The night's fixes indicated that Heikki had had to relocate a few times during the night.
8 April 2014
At 9, local time, Heikki was flying some 7 kilometres from his restless stopover location, and proceeded 232 km northwards during the day.
9 April 2014
After flying 227 km Heikki settled down for the night three kilometres from the Blue Nile.
10–12 April 2014
Heikki spent three days refuelling at the Blue Nile.
13 April 2014
After resting and refuelling for three days, Heikki left the Blue Nile and continued northwards. At 11:00 local time (08:00 GMT), Heikki was still at his fishing location, but two hours later he was in flight 46 km north of the place where he had been refuelling. During this day, Heikki travelled 253 km, and the settled down for the night 33 km from the Sudanese border.
14 April 2014
Heikki did not have a quiet night's rest, because some disturbance made him move 2.6 km between 01:00 and 03:00 (22:00-00:00 GMT). By 09:00, Heikki had flown 11 km, and soon after that he crossed the border into Sudan. His next night was spent by a river again – after a day trip of 176 km.

Scottish Ospreys
Roy Dennis's two Scottish birds are now home…well, just about. Roy takes up the story…
Blue XD
Blue XD crossed the English Channel on the afternoon of 7th April and arrived over Hayling Island at 17:40. He flew 272 km during the day, and roosted in woods north of Emsworth in Hampshire. Next morning he probably caught a fish off Hayling Island, before eating it just north of the Northney Marina. He then resumed his migration at 10.03. That night he roosted at Grebe Lake, Calvert east of Bicester.
On 9th April he made a strong flight north via Coventry and Manchester. He stopped off at Wetsleddale Dam near Shap for a fish(?) and then roosted overnight beside River Eden at Armthwaite.
After only a short flight on 10th April, he headed more purposefully north via Kielder Forest next morning. He crossed into Scotland at 11.30am and then over the Firth of Forth from Port Seton to West Wemyss.
By 6am on 12th April he was back at his nest near Aviemore.
Yellow HA
Having spent several days in Perthshire, Yellow HA flew north over the Angus hills to Deeside on 10th April. He then continued north, passing Rhynie and Huntly before finally roosting near Elgin. Next day he flew to the Lossie estuary in the afternoon and was still there at 7pm. He was now very close to home – but showing no desire to return to his nest.
Unexpectedly, Yellow HA has remained in the Elgin area since then – visiting various nest sites. I called in at his nest today and saw that his mate, Morven, has attracted a new 6 year-old mate. Maybe Yellow HA decided last year to get a new mate and nest, and may be an easier fishing area? Whatever the case, it is great that he and Blue XD have both made it safely home to Scotland.

American Ospreys
Over on the other side of the Atlantic, two more of the WOW Ospreys have also made it home. Rob Bierregaard takes up the story…
Belle got home on the 10th after a trip of 28 days and 4,622 miles. She arrived a full month earlier than she did last year. She has now figured out the path that adults take each spring, staying over land as much as possible, even if it makes for a slightly longer trip.
She has been back to Deep Bottom Cove in Tisbury Great Pond and over to Cape Cod, where she spends a lot of time. We hope this is the year she will hook up with a male.
This is the third trip home for Belle-a record for our birds tagged as juveniles. She's also tied with North-Fork Bob for the longest a bird has made it with a functioning radio (four years).
Belle was in a hurry as she got close to home. Her last GPS fix on the 9th April was at 18:00 just across the Chesapeake Bay in the Virginia portion of the Delmarva Peninsula. She clearly kept flying after that, but we can't tell where she spent the night. The first location in New Jersey on the 10th was at 06:00, so she probably roosted close to that spot on the Jersey Shore. The first location on the 10th was 167 miles from the last on the 9th. That would have taken her about seven hours, so my guess is that she flew to about 01:00 before settling down for a few hours' sleep before making the big push to get home.
On the 10th, she covered 267 miles in 12 hours, with a one-hour stopover in New Jersey probably for some fishing. Crossing Connecticut, she was flying over 30 mph, which is fast for an Osprey.
Much earlier in her migration Belle had an interesting turn when she got to Haiti. Just like in her previous two migrations she went out of her way to spend some time fishing at Lake Azuei, a very interesting spot. Turns out there's a rift valley on Hispaniola and two below-sea-level lakes, which are known, among other things for hosting healthy populations of crocodiles. She's the only Osprey I've tracked that has such a regular stop on the spring migration.
North-Fork Bob, meanwhile, had a pleasantly uneventful trip home this spring, leaving his wintering site in Venezuela a bit later than normal on 23rd March, and arriving back on the North Fork on the 11th April; a week later than his arrival last year. Bob is somewhat of a celebrity in eastern Long Island. His arrival is much anticipated in the local press.

WOW at Provo Primary
Finally, it has been great to hear how many different schools around the world got involved in WOW. Sian Jones the Principal of Provo Primary School in the Turks and Caicos Island, has sent us a great report explaining what went on at her school…
There was a lot of excitement in the air at Provo Primary during the week of March 24th to March 28th because of their participation in the inaugural "World Osprey Week" (WOW). Provo Primary joined in with other schools around the world, to celebrate WOW, with a full week of activities that had the entire school body involved.
The stage at Provo Primary was transformed into an Osprey information booth, with posters, books, pictures and video clips. Parents, teachers and students were encouraged to learn about this majestic bird that can be seen in the Turks & Caicos Islands.
The Department of Environment and Marine Affairs (DEMA) were invited to make presentations and share their knowledge about Ospreys to the students during the week, along with a local photographer. DEMA also partnered with FORTIS TCI to erect an Osprey nesting platform in the Children's Park in the Bight, which was attended by the students of the Year Two class (known as the Osprey class). The students also went on a tour of the Environmental Centre and ended the field trip outing at another osprey nesting platform in the Turtle Cove area, where they did some cleaning up around the nesting area.
A special WOW assembly was held on Friday March 28th and attendees were treated to performances and visual displays by the students. There were songs, poems, and a skit performed by students and teachers, which focused on sharing the information learnt about Ospreys with others. Students participated in an art competition and the winners were awarded prizes and certificates from DEMA.
The week ended with a beach clean-up at Smith's Beach where another Osprey nesting platform is located.
Thank you to everyone at the Leicestershire & Rutland Wildlife Trust for organising this wonderful WOW celebration and encouraging us to learn more about the ospreys that live here in our islands. It has been a great success and the interest of the children and the support community has been amazing. A true example of learning at its best!
Here are some photos of our week…
Thanks very much to Sian for sending such a great report – we are delighted that you had such an excellent week!

Electronic Publishing: Politics and Pragmatics
New Technologies in Medieval and Renaissance Studies, Vol. 2
Electronic Publishing: Politics and Pragmatics
The technologies, economics, and politics of scholarly publication in the humanities will change rapidly in the near future. New electronic publication technologies that do not require large investments of capital—printing presses, warehouses, transport—generate powerful forces directing academic authors away from traditional print publication. This book brings together a team of academics experienced in this new field to explore the practical aspects of electronic publication and reflect on the politics of the knowledge landscape that is emerging. Their accounts of such practical matters as Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and coding standards form part of a larger consideration of the new knowledge economy and how the humanities disciplines will fare in a world that increasingly trusts its cultural heritage to magnetism and laser optics rather than inks and paper.

"What I do is the result of reflection and study of the great masters," stated the French artist Edgar Degas (1834–1917) late in life. Among those he studied most closely was the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669).
By examining Rembrandt's work—and his prints in particular—Degas discovered an approach to portraiture and self-portraiture that emphasized the expressive and technical potential of the form, an approach that was not encouraged in Degas's traditional early training. After enrolling briefly at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he soon began to turn away from standard academic models that emphasized clarity and line.
In 1856 Degas embarked on a three-year trip to Italy to study classical sculpture and Renaissance painting. While in Italy, he saw a number of prints by Rembrandt in Italian collections and copied several in his drawings and sketch books, developing one of them into his own etching after Rembrandt.
Inspired by the Dutch artist's example, Degas made a series of self-portraits that explored a range of tonal effects, from subtle shading to dramatic contrasts of light and dark, just as Rembrandt had done as a young artist in Leiden and Amsterdam. This series of some forty paintings, prints, and drawings dates to Degas's early years, between about 1854 and 1862, when the choice of a non-academic role model helped to define Degas's identity as one of the emerging leaders of the French avant-garde.
This exhibition was organized by the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, in association with the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
In this dramatic painting, the artist has cast nearly all of his face in deep shadow, so that his eyes are barely perceptible. This highly unconventional approach encourages the viewer to look more closely while it also negates one of the traditional functions of a portrait: to show a recognizable likeness.
The shadowed yet direct gaze, the pose and composition, and even the uncharacteristically casual scarf in this image may all derive in part from Rembrandt's numerous self-portraits. This painting was made when Degas was studying—and in one case copying—Rembrandt's prints in Italian collections.

Of the players, Clayton Kershaw, Max Scherzer, and David Price are the biggest standouts. MLBTR (check out the arbitration tool) expects Price and Scherzer to each reach over $13 million in arbitration. Kershaw, however, is expected to reach an agreement of $18.25 million. If these three pitchers were to hit the open market, you could expect much more than their projected salaries. Since they have exclusive negotiating rights with their team, it definitely sucks some of the value out of their contracts.
Having many players go through arbitration came sometimes be tough for small-market teams. This is why these teams attempt to trade or re-sign players that are eligible for arbitration, so that they are able to get something in return (either prospects or a long-term deal). This is why Tampa Bay was interested in dealing David Price and Detroit interested in trading Max Scherzer.
Other names to watch in the arbitration process are:
Pedro Alvarez - Pirates
Neftali Feliz - Rangers
Chase Headley - Padres
Jim Johnson - Athletics
Mark Trumbo - DBacks
Aroldis Chapman - Reds
Doug Fister - Nationals
Eric Hosmer - Royals
Justin Masterson - Indians
Matt Wieters - Orioles
Ian Desmond - Nationals
Brett Gardner - Yankees
Austin Jackson - Tigers
Jeff Samardzija - Cubs

In science and statistics courses I give at University College Roosevelt I enjoy sharing the perspective I have gained by bringing together multiple disciplines in my research. My earth science students learn to use the mathematical physics of a hydrogen atom to describe very low notes at which the earth rings, or to use computational analogues of genetics to make five-dimensional models of the earth's interior. They also hear about the dangers of circular reasoning that trapped modern earth scientists in the paradigm of a mantle that acted too much like a hot pot of pasta sauce and too little like a cool lava lamp. Students in my introductory statistics and mathematics courses are shown the surprising similarities in the processes of finding the distinct components of a social construct or artistic style and of finding which parts of the core can be resolved by seismograms.
I have spent my research career pursuing creative computational solutions to seismic inverse problems, using hardware ranging from desktop workstations, to PC Beowulf clusters such as the one my students have built at UCR, to supercomputer facilities in Illinois, Minnesota, and Edinburgh. Before coming to UCR, I constructed synthetic seismograms that revealed important nonlinear effects in long-period seismograms, produced a large catalogue of hand-edited seismic data and computer aided measurements of the very low frequency ringing of the whole earth after large earthquakes, and developed a Bayesian approach for creating deep Earth models from my data. I am pleased to see that my catalogue, the techniques I used to construct it, and my Bayesian approach to modeling continue to be used at universities such as Cambridge and Utrecht to create new images of the mantle and core.
While at UCR I have developed research projects that enable students to make significant new contributions to the Earth Sciences. My undergraduate collaborators have explored the global free oscillations excited by melting and sliding Antarctic ice sheet; surveyed public perceptions of the seismic risks associated with underground nuclear storage, shale gas extraction, and geothermal energy; and developed computational algorithms for simulating bell-induced shaking of church towers. At present I am developing a seismic interferometric approach to monitoring cracks in monumental buildings, and working with fellow UCR faculty in creating new means of communicating the scientific background that shapes energy and environmental policy.

The Numismatist MBA Kulraj
Not everyone can handle a full-time profession coupled with a personal commitment like a hobby; especially when the hobby is very creative. One's hobby may not always generate as much revenue as one's salary. However it would give a person the much needed creative satisfaction. Kulraj Singh is one such person who is thrilled with the blogging phenomenon. Kulraj is a numismatist.
In layman's language Kulraj collects numismatic items, esp. coins. "Through my blog My coin collection I plan to provide comprehensive information on all coins," says Mr. Singh. He further adds, "The blog would also contain other details such as the origin and the symbolism of the coins."
Kulraj started collecting coins in mid 2008. Only recently in January 2009 he realized the potential of internet and launched a blog for his coin collection. "I post a byte on the coin collection blog everyday. I believe in doing so in the years to come, it will be the biggest site on coins in India."
Academically strong, Kulraj strongly believes in the power of internet. He agrees that through internet knowledge can be spread across the globe by the click of a button. He says, "I use blog as a tool to express my views to the people across continents. As far as the coins blog is concerned, I find it the best way to showcase my coin collection. I also like the simplistic design of a blog and I prefer it over a website." Kulraj receives a whopping 100 hits on his coin collection blog everyday.
Apart from collecting coins, Kulraj pens another blog by the name of The mind tree. Through this blog he would like to put forth his views, beliefs and his philosophy to his readers. Speaking about any recognition in the field of blogging Kulraj says, "As human beings, we are all hungry of recognition and appreciation from others for whatever we do. The appreciatory comments and mails that I receive is my award and my recognition." As far as my goals are concerned he says, "I want to convert my coin collection blog into an encyclopaedia on coins and be renowned as a numismatist in India and abroad."
The two key people treading the path of success together with Kulraj are:
Ravleen Kaur – Photographer.
Bhavraj Singh – Care taker of the coins.
Kulraj Singh has done his Bachelors of Technology from IP University. He has also earned an MBA degree from IMT Ghaziabad. Currently he works as a lecturer in IP University.
The iW2K team hopes lady luck enters Kulraj's blog and makes him the most famous numismatist in the world.

The Adoption Project, formed in 1997, is an unprecedented partnership of the Los Angeles Juvenile Dependency Court, Lost Angeles County Department of Children and Families Services (DCFS), and two Los Angeles-based child advocacy organizations, The Alliance for Children's Rights and Public Counsel Law Center. This collaboration was initiated to reduce the number of children waiting for adoption in Los Angeles County's foster care system, the largest in the nation. The collaboration that formed the Adoption Project would take on the responsibility for creating fundamental system reform, shifting the attitude toward permanency and creating a process that could support that necessary change.
The history of the Adoption Project was written to assist others in their efforts to secure the path to legal permanency for foster children.

In 1851 the Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Royal Benevolent Society provided the first lifeboat, 'The Teignmouth'. The RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institute) took over the lifeboat station in 1854 and the first recorded service was in 1857 when two people were saved from Pilot Boat and two were lost.
In 1862, at a cost of £223. 3s 0d, the Boathouse was built on the Den with doors facing the Ness. The following year it was rebuilt with doors facing the harbour. Also that year the RNLI's experimental iron lifeboat the 'China' arrived for trials. However, this was replaced in 1864 by a conventional wooden-hulled, ten-oared lifeboat, also called the China. Both of the China's were defrayed by money donated by the staff of Gilman and Company who traded in Shanghai and Hong Kong. It was renamed Arnold in recognition of fund-raising efforts by Mr B Arnold, Chairman of the Devon & Cornwall Lifeboat Bazaar.
In 1887 a new 34ft ten-oared lifeboat went on station also called the Arnold. There were various replacements to the lifeboat through to 1940 when the station was closed for the war.
It remained closed until 1990 when the station re-opened for evaluation and became fully operational on November 3rd with an Atlantic 21 class inshore lifeboat B538. This lifeboat was provided from the generous legacies of Mrs DV McGriggar Phillips, Mr RK Talbot and a special appeal to the people of Leeds. The following year an Atlantic 21 class inshore lifeboat, the 'Frank and Dorothy', was provided by the bequest (£56,000) of Mrs Dorothy North in memory of her husband Frank.
The latest acquisition is an Atlantic 85 class inshore lifeboat 'The Two Annes' which went in service on August 1st 2006.
The records indicate a number of commendations and medals for long-service and gallantry.

And for some recent stories: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Teignmouth-Lifeboat/114480234633
Each year one of the fund-raising events is the Boxing Day 'Walk in the Sea'. See the youtube video for some of the fun in 2012.

How good a poet was Berlioz? I was wondering about what this question would mean (the ENO opens the first part of Les Troyens next week) when the February issue of the Gramophone arrived. With some exceptions, says Roger Nichols in an interesting cover story, "Berlioz's texts are extremely direct and straightforward. None of them [is] great literature, nor did they need to be since they serve the music in the same way as Wagner's, Messiaen's or Tippett's."
To me this last sentence has the same effect as the sight of a chip pan catching fire. It is a great conflagration of wrongness and one looks around desperately for the means to put it out. The three names are chosen as notable examples of composers who, like Berlioz, wrote their own libretti. But Tippett's words do not serve his music: notoriously pretentious and incompetent, the texts he wrote will always come between the audience and the operas. And there is no remedy for this problem.
Messiaen wrote one immense opera, Saint François d'Assise, to a staunchly doctrinaire text. It sounds as if dictated by a monsignor, although in fact the monsignor was well established inside the musician's head. Many of Messiaen's admirers, I would guess, have a way of mentally translating this text into terms of free-floating, nebulous spirituality: they relapse into a trance induced by birdsong (the opera's alternative source of non-verbal or supra-verbal meaning).
I lack the knack for this: I feel got at. But however you express it, the relation here is between sacred words and sacred music: if the words "serve" the music, they do so in a most exalted sense, as the priest is served at the altar. The text is highly important. It is doctrine after all.
As for Wagner, he would be shocked at the implication that his words are not great literature, and that their relation to his music is like that of Berlioz's words. In Paris in 1858, Wagner listened to Berlioz reading the libretto of Les Troyens with a mounting anxiety, so that "I really found myself wishing that I might never see him again since, in the end, to be so utterly unable to help a friend can only become unbearably painful. The text is clearly the pinnacle of his misfortune, which nothing now can surpass."
Six years earlier, in a letter to Liszt (Wagner considered Berlioz, Liszt and himself the three most important composers of the day), he had written: "If ever a musician needed a poet, it is Berlioz, and it is his misfortune that he always adapts his poet to his own musical whim, arranging now Shakespeare, now Goethe, to suit his own purpose. He needs a poet to fill him through and through, a poet who is driven by ecstasy to violate him, and who is to him what man is to woman." But the poet Wagner had in mind for this job of violating Berlioz was Wagner himself. He thought that Berlioz ought to set the story of Wieland the Smith, a German legend of which he, Wagner, had written the prose outline. (Adolf Hitler, we are told, later contemplated setting the same subject.)
Berlioz, of course, had already been violated by some other poetry - by Virgil and by Shakespeare, in the case of Les Troyens - and it is as an adapter of other people's poetry that he asks to be judged. If one demands to be ravished by the mot juste, or stunned by the memorable single line, Berlioz may disappoint. But there is more to the writing of a poetic drama than this.
There is the whole matter of poiesis, the making, the fabrication of the structure, the redistribution of the elements of the epic to form the new drama. It is a question of invention and translation at the same time. Les Troyens sounds Virgilian. It sounds Latin in the way that the Ring at first hearing sounds mysteriously Greek (one thinks at once of Homer, but the presiding spirit is Aeschylus).
The presence of Shakespeare in the Trojan mix (including, but not only, the love duet based on The Merchant of Venice) is surprising, and one might not have predicted its success. But this is a part of the contribution of Berlioz as poet. It is characteristic. It is essential, because it is the key to the dramatisation of the epic that it should display Shakespearean variety. And this in turn becomes a key to the music.
None of Berlioz great literature? Well, we will hear it on Monday in translation, and will not judge it on the individual word or line. But if the drama moves us, if it seems coherent, if it progresses well, if it presents its subject effectively - all that is part of the poiesis. Wagner thought it bewilderingly improbable, but Wagner, as we say now, had his own "issues" with his rival. In later life, Wagner kept a pet cockerel called Berlioz. But by that time, the composer of Les Troyens had been safely dead almost 10 years.

"Food is national security. Food is economy. It is employment, energy, history. Food is everything." — Chef José Andrés
Food is an integral part of our everyday lives. However, the sad reality for many families is that the ability to provide one of life's basic necessities to their children is barely, if at all, feasible. While programs put into place during the school year take the strain off of parents and caretakers only about 18 percent of eligible students participate in summer feeding programs according to the United States Department of Agriculture.

I highly recommend Ross King's new album, "This Hope Will Guide Me," and so far this is my favorite song:
Great chorus:
Praise the one who climbed the hill
And stormed the very gates of hell
Went to war with death itself
To win my soul
I'm hearing good things from people I trust about the direction of Derek Webb's new album. Scott Corbin pointed me to one of the new songs on YouTube, "Everything Will Change."
It's encouraging that this song locates the resolution to the world's ills not in some social-engineering project of a political party but in the eschaton, when "you'll wake and the curse will break."
I also appreciate friends who have encouraged me to be as generous to Derek as I've tried to be to J. K. Rowling. Point taken. Eager to hear the whole album.
Collin Garbarino posted a new video from Derek Webb, in which Derek "confesses": "I was wrong, I'm sorry, and I love you."
My problem with this song is that Derek doesn't specify what it is he thinks he was wrong about. There are some things I think he has been wrong about, but those may or may not be the things he's apologizing for. Does he think he was right where I thought he was wrong, and wrong where I thought he was right? He doesn't clarify, so the song isn't very satisfying. What tried to be sincere and authentic devolved into bland platitudes and cliches. I know that's not what Derek wanted.
It does have a catchy tune, though. Like much of his stuff. Classic Derek–wailing voice that really communicates emotional depth, changes in tempo and volume, good stuff.
I wish Derek would recognize that he's not an inspired prophet, that for every stupid thing some church or some Christian says or does there are a lot of examples of biblical ecclesiology and truly Christ-like Christians, and that he should give himself to writing God-honoring, Bible-saturated, thought-provoking songs.
And for my money he can leave the swear words out.
I've been enjoying this musical adaptation of Proverbs 1 from Ordinary Time:
Did you see David Radford on American Idol? His audition is here.
So now he's 24, married, and he and his wife have formed a duo called The Gray Havens, and they've come out with a Josh-Ritter-esque literary set of songs with a great sound called Where Eyes Don't Go. I can't stop listening to it.
Here are some notes David wrote on these six songs:
1. Where it Goes– the main singer is "History" personified. The "song" being sung about represents true fabric of reality that God spoke into existence.2. Silver- a song inspired by a conversation between C.S. Lewis and J.R. Tolkein at Oxford before Lewis was converted. He told Tolkein that myths, including the gospel, were lies breathed through silver. The song is about testing silver against what Tolkein calls the "true myth," with the latter being victorious over the singers in the end.3. Gray Flowers– The town represents Jerusalem. The officials represent the Pharisees. "Grays" is really "Grace." Jesus represents the man. The woman represents the church.4. Train Station– the trains represent all religions, and the conductors their corresponding leaders. I think you can figure it out from there.5. Music from a Garden– a combination of Genesis 1 and a chapter entitled "The Founding of Narnia" from The Magician's Nephew in the Narnia series. It is about how the Trinity created the world.6. Let's Get Married– no gospel significance other than the covenant of marriage set to a catchy melody
Today at our house we are officially inducting Andrew Peterson into the Hamilton Hall of Fame for his sheer awesomeness. If you're a regular here at For His Renown, you know that we have taken great delight in Andrew's music (song) and writings (word), and now he has topped it off with a gift of line (form). The T.H.A.G.s, the Three Honored and Great Subjects, of music, writing, and drawing, are crafts this brother cultivates, and he has blessed us with all three.
We were introduced to his work several years ago when a dear friend gave us his Christmas album Behold the Lamb of God, which may be the best thing to happen to Christmas music since Handel's Messiah. We loved Resurrection Letters Vol. 2, then Counting Stars, and we eagerly await Light for the Lost Boy. You won't regret buying these albums. They will enrich your life, open your eyes, deepen your soul, and tell you of the hope that holds through the night.
Then we learned that he wrote books in addition to songs, and we had to have a look. What we saw was startling, intriguing, joy-giving, yea, beautiful. One night as we were reading On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness, it got so late I had to put the kids to bed, but I was in storygrip so after I put them to bed I kept reading right on to the end.
Hit that link above and go get your copy. Read and enjoy, then move on to North! Or Be Eaten, whose adventure and sacrifice and resurrection are topped off by the joy of the reunion of a long separated family in The Monster in the Hollows, a joy that rises from the ashes of sorrow and must plunge into the uncertainty of the future. What that future holds awaits the writing of The Warden and the Wolf King.
If you get the books and start now, you can live through the experience of reading them as the story is being written–how often does the chance to do that come along? Books one, two, and three are waiting for you at Amazon or the Rabbit Room. I read them aloud to our kids, and now the ones old enough to read regularly revisit them.
All this brings me to the point of this post. We entered a book review contest, won second place, and the creative generosity of Andrew Peterson resulted in our prize arriving today!
Andrew is in our Hamilton Hall of Fame for this drawing of The Great Library at Ban Rona, replete with a note from the author telling the thrilling tale of the perilous adventure that overtook him as he created the masterpiece.
Praise God for Andrew Peterson, today's inductee into the Hamilton Hall of Fame, may the Lord bless his every endeavor, and may each of you visit the links to the works of art above, click the Like button, click the Add to Cart button, then enjoy the music and the stories, the lyrics and the love.
When I was a PhD student here at SBTS from 2000–2003, we were members at Clifton Baptist Church. It was a joy to sit under Tom Schreiner's preaching and be led in worship by Chip Stam. One of my favorite things was to interact with Brad Mann and hear him sing. There were times when I would watch Brad sing in the choir in worship, and I would rejoice that one day he will see the Lord Jesus face to face.
My friend Brad Mann is blind, but that brother can sing. He recently had the opportunity to sing the National Anthem before a UofL basketball game at the KFC Yum Center, and he brought down the house. Watch it here:
Eric Schumacher and David L. Ward of Reformed Praise have released an official video for their song, There Is No Sin That I Have Done.
From the Academy of Sacred Music at SBTS:

Josh Philpot introduced me to this song by John Mark McMillan, "Ten Thousand," from his album, The Medicine. Matt Damico sang this at the close of the sermon linked in the previous post. He knocked it out of the park. This is what Josh wrote to Matt when he introduced him to the song:
"It's a great tune and song. Think Ezekiel 37; John 16:33; Ephesians 5 (bride and husband); 1 John 5:4; etc."
Ten thousand glimmering like coals in our chest
Ball bearings drawn to the magnetic breath
Of ten thousand weeping with wings on their tears
Amidst ten thousand voices for ten thousand years
For ten thousand graves yawning unlocked and unlatched
Now ten thousand holes with rocks on their backs
Ten thousand tombs gaping wide singing the praise
Of ten thousand bodies unlaced and unlaid
As the ten thousand highways unfold their doors
For the ten thousand standing on Nineveh's shores
Where the blood of a husband silences wars
For the girl who rises to meet him
And she sings
World, I have overcome you
World, I have overcome you
World, I have overcome
By my song and the blood of a son
Ten thousand rivers run red like my veins
Where the bones of men hum like a rattling cage
For sinew to cling to and wind to remain
In ten thousand lungs for ten thousand days
Breathing like a choir of holes in the ground
Where the cynical have lain, where the cynical go down
Save the gravity of time lets go of her drowned
Like ten thousand sparrows, unlocked and unwound
As the ten thousand highways unfold their doors
For the ten thousand standing on Nineveh's shores
Where the blood of a husband silences wars
For the girl who rises to meet him
And she sings
World, I have overcome you
World, I have overcome you
World, I have overcome
By my song and the blood of a son
Just give these underlined words a smack.
I've noted before that I think Eric Schumacher is one of the best poets at work on the craft in this generation. He writes to help the people of God praise the name of God, celebrating God's saving mercy in Christ by the power of the Spirit.
Eric writes of the new album from Reformed Praise, "Merciful to Me":
"As many of you know, I collaborate in song-writing with David Ward (and others) through the ministry of Reformed Praise.
This month we released our latest album, Merciful to Me. It was co-produced by David Ward and Steve Cook (of Sovereign Grace Music). It contains the vocals of Devon Kauflin, Shannon Harris, Jake Armerding, Lucia Newell, and others, as well as a host of great instrumentalists from around the country. The 13 tracks are an eclectic mix of styles, including bluegrass, pop, classic jazz, driving rock, and orchestral arrangements."
On the album's webpage, you can read about the project and sample the songs, which are described as follows:
1. Merciful to Me – A guitar-driven ballad featuring ac. guitar, piano (very light), kit on brushes, some percussion, soprano sax, and fretless bass
2. There Is No Greater Portrait – A piano and orchestra driven arrangement by Bob Parsons
3. Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken – A guitar-driven ballad with kit on brushes, piano, fiddle
4. O Jesus – Energetic pop arrangement with a drum loop and tasty electric guitars
5. O God the Holy Spirit – Another piano and orchestra driven arrangement by Bob Parsons
6. So I Will Come – A guitar driven ballad featuring Shannon Harris on vocals with acoustic bass, piano, and a string trio
7. Jesus, Lover of My Soul – A Dave Matthews inspired setting with layered acoustic guitars and saxes
8. The River – A driving rock arrangement led by acoustic guitar, then handed off to an electric guitar
9. Glory Is Certain – A pseudo-Celtic flavor: live guitr, djembe, acoustic bass, and vocals with added mandolin and Irish whistle
10. There Is No Sin that I Have Done – A very sparse, guitar driven ballad with upright bass and pedal steel guitar
11. O Weary Saint – Another sparse setting, piano-driven with Irish flute and cello
12. Begone, Unbelief – A foot-stompin' bluegrass setting with live guitar, vocal, drums, and upright bass with added dobro, mandolin, and fiddle
13. Majestic Sweetness – A classic jazz ballad arrangement inspired by Bill Evans' work on the Miles Davis "Kind of Blue"
Modern Irish hymn writers Keith and Kristyn Getty ("In Christ Alone," and many more) now have a blog.
May the Lord continue to bless them.
In his song, "In the Night My Hope Lives On," Andrew Peterson has turned Romans 15:4 into poetry and put it to music that will stir the soul. It left me wiping my eyes from the pain of the beauty of hope.
Romans 15:4, "For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope."
Praise God for the mercy that beats in his holy heart.
The song is on the new album, Counting Stars, which you can download, or get as a physical CD. There's a nice write-up on the album over at Andrew-Peterson.com.
Nashville's bard of biblical theology himself gave me permission to stream the song here (click through to the site to stream the song – thanks to Josh Philpot for making this possible), and the lyrics are below:
In the Night My Hope Lives On
by Andrew Peterson
I am weary with the pain of Jacob's wrestling
In the darkness with the Fear, in the darkness with the Fear
But he met the morning wounded with a blessing
So in the night my hope lives on
When Elisha woke surrounded by the forces
Of the enemies of God, the enemies of God
He saw the hills aflame with angels on their horses
So in the night my hope lives on
I see the slave that toils beneath the yoke unyielding
And I can hear the captive groan, hear the captive groan
For some hand to stay the whip his foe is wielding
Still in the night my hope lives on
I see the armies of the enemy approaching
And the people driven, trembling, to the shore
But a doorway through the waters now is opening
So in the night my hope lives on
Like the son who thought he'd gone beyond forgiveness,
Too ashamed to life his head–but if he could lift his head
He would see his father running from a distance
In the night my hope lives on
I can see the crowd of men retreating
As he stands between the woman and their stones
And if mercy in his holy heart is beating
Then in the night my hope lives on
I remember how they scorned the son of Mary
He was gentle as a lamb, gentle as a lamb
He was beaten, he was crucified, and buried
And in the night, my hope was gone
But the rulers of the earth could not control Him
They did not take his life–he laid it down
All the chains of death could never hope to hold him
So in the night my hope lives on
I can see the Son of Man descending
And the sword He swings is brighter than the dawn
And the gates of Hell will never stand against him
So in the night my hope lives on
If you haven't already done so, you really should check out the Preface to Mark Dever and Michael Lawrence's book, It Is Well. Here's a snippet that puts worship into words and describes how the cross is central, even if there isn't a physical cross on the wall:
"This is never truer than when we sing the hymn 'It Is Well with My Soul.' I wish you could hear the church sing the stanze, 'My sin, not in part, but the whole, is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul.' Our voices join in ecstasy, and we stand amazed at our inclusion, stunned and relishing God's costly, gracious mercy toward us in Christ. The truth of the Word, the cross in the Bible, explodes into glorious joy at the foundation and heart of our life together as a church. When we experience that solemn joy, that deep delight, that loud celebration together, whether we're at the Lord's Table or simply rejoicing after confessing our sins in prayer, the cross is seen to be the center of our church."
Programming note: this post was prompted by the enjoyment of this song in worship this past Sunday at Kenwood. What a blessing to worship with God's people.
We are blessed at Kenwood Baptist Church to be led in worship by Josh Philpot, Associate Pastor extraordinaire.
You'll love his work on the piano. He writes:
Here are twelve hymns I recorded on piano for my wife as a birthday gift in April (she really liked it!). I thought some of you may enjoy them. Many thanks to Andrew Case for the mix, and for Clifton Baptist Church for letting me use their piano!
Before the Throne of God Above
How Sweet and Aweful is the Place
Jesus, What a Friend for Sinners
I had to minimize the files, so unfortunately the quality is not the best. Also, most of these were recorded on the first take so you may here mistakes here or there (i.e. copyist errors…).
HT: Robbie Sagers
I first heard this song when I went to a Weekender at CHBC, and we've been enjoying it recently in family devos. May the Lord grant in his mercy that someday we'll sing in a choir that sounds this good:

5 Things You Should Expect From Your Third Party Logistics Provider
The new role of the third party logistics provider will not just be to transport and store, but rather to serve as a trusted partner in the lean journey by identifying problems, implementing solutions, and adding value in global and complex supply chains. The relationship with the third party logistics provider needs to move from transactional to one of long term partnership and commitment.
Here are five key things you should expect from your third party logistics provider. If these things aren't part of its DNA, you may encounter fundamental problems down the road.
1. First and Foremost - Results
The goal of a third party logistics provider should be to support the growing demands and complexities of its customer's supply chain and do so in fashion that results in:
- Improvement of on-time delivery to the customer (whether that's dealers, retailers, manufacturers, or consumers)
- Reduction of transportation cost
- Reduction of inventory levels
- Reduction of order to delivery lead time
- Improved freight performance
2. Disciplined, Intelligent Technology
A third party logistics provider is a partner that will bring discipline and visibility (such as proactive track and trace), to the day to day execution and technology. Technology that integrates suppliers, customers, and transportation providers serves as the platform for increased operational efficiency. A plus is when this technology is housed with that one provider and has robust reporting and analytical capabilities with all inbound and outbound data residing in one system. The provider should have a reliable IT team that can be flexible and respond quickly to daily changing supplier and shipping scenarios.
3. Appreciation and Dedication to Lean Principles
An effective third party logistics provider will recognize the value of lean principles. Businesses all around the world are familiar with the value of lean principles. The current conditions of globalization and competitive environments require operating a lean business now more than ever. Lean principles teach to eliminate waste and focus only on those things that result in customer value—ultimately building business cultures that focus on problem solving. While many companies have embraced lean in manufacturing processes, they have yet to un-tap the wealth of opportunity lean brings to the supply chain. The Lean Supply Chain is a system of interconnected and interdependent forces that operate in unison to accomplish overarching supply chain objectives. Once you have every team member empowered to solve problems every day, the results are extraordinary.
4. Collaborative Continuous Improvement and Innovation
The third party logistics provider should demonstrate an aggressive continuous improvement mindset with solutions that are both measurable and actionable. It should deliver new and proactive ideas on a frequent basis, and thought leadership in the form of supply chain vision and innovation to help the customer turn its supply chain into a competitive advantage. A great third party logistics provider will provide the services, people, processes, and technology to achieve the customer's goals. There should be a collaborative attitude between the customer and the provider, as well as an established global understanding for any future expansion opportunities.
5. Last But Not Least - Dedicated Resources
Dedicated, skilled, and experienced personnel are key for effective program and account management. A third party logistics provider should provide this and on-site presence at your facility. This person will then gain intimate knowledge of your business, your people, your processes, and your suppliers, and can serve as a liaison to deliver the customer service you expect in a third party logistics provider. The customer-provider relationship should be viewed as a strategic partnership - with both executive leadership teams engaged.

Every homeowner should know about fence supplies and materials. Fences make it harder for unwanted people to enter your property, and keep who or what you want in the yard. Without a fence in your backyard or even in the front lawn, you're making it easier for an intruder to, well, intrude. A fence also beautifies your home, enhancing open spaces well.
To make the most of the beauty and security benefits of fencing, it's best that you familiarize yourself with the different kinds of fence materials available. So whether it's ensuring that your fence is the correct height or is suitable for your property, you will know how to make it happen. There are four common fence materials, namely wood, wrought iron, and vinyl. Let's take a look at some basic information about these.
Split Rail and Round Rail beautiful fences make such rustic quality fences. Post and Rails are all that's needed for this fence. You can't use stylized tops of your choice for further accentuation. Caps only fit dimensional lumber. 4×4 post being the most common. The rustic nature of the lumber in Split and Round Rail Fence makes it impossible.
Here is another great blog about wood fencing.
Wrought Iron
The iron fence is known for its ability to ornamentally accentuate properties. You can use these fence supplies in a way that your fence not only looks beautiful but has space in between so you can view the surroundings. Privacy isn't as big of a concern when using iron fencing as are looks and ornamentation. It is perfect for combining style and functionality. As with wood, it does require regular maintenance.
Check out 6 Tips for Caring for your Iron Fence
Vinyl or PVC is a versatile fence material that doesn't need a lot of maintenance. When you're shopping for fence supplies, you will probably come across vinyl as it is a very popular material. It can mimic the classiness of wood, to some extent. Nowadays any (slightly) higher cost of vinyl is easily offset by the lower maintenance costs and the fact that you won't have to spend a good amount of your time and energy on regular maintenance.

Successfully completed!
Hooray! On the 6th January this year I successfully completed the ten modules of the Intermediate Herbal Course, which included the study of anatomy, physiology, herbal therapeutics and the relevant examinations.
I'm eager to deepen my knowledge further. I've learned a LOT in a short time. Now I want to go back to it all, revise, build on my materia medica and get to know 'my plants' better.
If you ever consider to study herbalism, I can really recommend the Intermediate Herbal Course. I took the
Intermediate Herbal Course
, which is an in-depth study, but you could also start with the
Introductory Herbal course
. If you'd rather read into articles, monographs and connect with a community,
The Herbarium
is your way to go.
( These are affiliate links. If you decide to buy from the Herbal Academy of New England I will get a fee towards supporting my herbalist life and my family. )
And now I will jump back to a couple of weeks ago...
During the Christmas vacation we were to our place in France, where the foodforest is still a baby but has taken root.
Upon arrival we had wonderfully sunny, mellow days - and I got my top bar beehive ready for its first season! We didn't 'install' it in the field yet, that will happen the next time, but it's now there, ready and waiting.
goldenrod in winter
the last roses, before frost
I found the last nasturtiums and something orange peeking in between them. The tiniest pumpkin!
And then came the frost and snow.
Everything was under a white glittery coat overnight.
What does an eager gardener with an impossibly long to do-list do in the case of snow?!
After some hours of being torn between frustration and awe, I snapped out of it, grabbed the camera and headed out for a track hunt. Fun!
These animals are roaming within the garden(s)...the first being our cat.
And this one is the neighbors' dog :)
The following tracks are from our New Years' walk, outside our garden(s). Can you identify the animals by their tracks? Feel free to comment!

When Dragon Age: Inquisition first came out in 2014, this third game of the Dragon Age series excited fans with its responsive, realistic, refined graphics as well as its inclusion of (positive) modern queer politics and positionalities in a fantasy realm, goals that BioWare really strove for during development. What was less expected from the company and many fans, however, was how adaptable a game with its own lore and histories involving magic would be for technopagans practicing through social media.

With the exception of my bicycle, (human power plant) I started riding two wheeled (real) power at the age of 14. That's when my Dad bought me an old military service cycle. It had bicycle type wheels, a single cylinder two stroke engine and a two speed belt drive to the rear wheel pulley. It was ugly to say the least. Later I graduated to a 175 Puch and then a 30-50 Indian.
Over the years I've straddled Enfields, Hondas, Harleys (ugh) Triumphs and finally BMWs. I enjoy riding long trips and treasure the fond memories of my trip to the Arctic Circle on a T-100 Bonneville.
I'm usually up for a ride most any day I'm not working. Work…… The curse of the drinking class. Fortunately it's only a couple of days a week and most of the time I just tell them I'm gone and it's okay. Great job.
