God Tabernacled In The Flesh - Farewell Speech By Former Pastor of the Branham Tabernacle

God Tabernacled In The Flesh - Farewell Speech By Former Pastor of the Branham Tabernacle:
In August 2015, the pastor, song leader, entire staff of deacons, and others resigned from the Branham Tabernacle in Jeffersonville, IN. According to the deacons, the Branhams were stealing property from the church, and they demanded that it be given back to the rightful owners. In a farewell speech by the former pastor of the Tabernacle, he agreed with the findings of the deacon board. But he felt that the problem was much bigger than simply theft of property. According to the former pastor, he had examined the situation in its entirety, and summed it up with this simple truth:
"If you get to the young people, eventually you get the parents. And if you get the parents, eventually you get their money."
But while the church scandal exposes the issues with money, the root of all evil, there are other evils to be found. All one need do is examine the simple farewell speech but a humble cult pastor to identify all of the signs of a destructive religious cult.
When I attended the Branham Tabernacle, there was a clear separation between the "Branham [Joseph] people" and the former pastor's "people." Those who sided with the former pastor claimed that the Branham sect believed that William Branham was "God in human flesh," and they claimed that this was unscriptural. Those sided with the Branham group believed that any who denied the deity of William Branham [and/or his son] were heretics and unworthy of salvation. Ironically, when we examine this farewell speech, we find that both groups hold the same set of values. And those values are common among all religious cults, especially Pentecostal-style destructive cults:
1. The leader is omnipotent, all-knowing.
2. The leader is God in human flesh.
3. Those who question or leave are "not of us."
4. The leader's "message" is authoritative
5. The cult group is the elite in their faith
Here is the transcript of the farewell speech:
There's a bunch of them! [new pastor attempts to interrupt]. Just a minute. We know one thing. We've had the greatest bunch of men I've seen together to hold this "Message" as best they knew how. I believe that. And I believe there's some trying times ahead. I believe that it won't be long 'til we'll look back and say, "wasn't those precious times?"
Wasn't that great? We enjoyed the blessings of the Lord coming among us. I don't know what's going to happen. But I can tell you one thing, the Lord knows. And it'd better be kept straight now. We're too close to home to mess it up. We'd better look to Him to help us at this hour. He's our only help. But He is a great help. And I appreciate being able to be with you folks for almost 46 years now as a pastor of the Tabernacle. I worked with Brother Branham, watched him, watched how he maneuvered. How he handled things. I've been with him a lot. And I saw how that he'd meet a stranger. He didn't jump on him with all four feet and tell him he's going to hell if he didn't straighten up -- you know, some people have that idea. I'll tell you what he would do. He'd talk to that fellow about fishing, about hunting.
Aw, just anything the man wanted to talk about. And sometimes he would never mention the church, the Bible, or nothing. Other times, he would. If he found the place where he thought there was hope of reaching the man, he would stay with him. Otherwise, he'd let it drop. Because, after all, there's only so many. And he knew who would and who would not! He had the answer!
He could tell you what you had for breakfast three weeks ago if he wanted to! I'll tell you, he was-he was God tabernacled in the flesh! Nothing short of it! And he had all the answers, just like they should be to help the people! He come to help the people, not to hurt them. He didn't want to hurt nobody. He wanted to help everybody. And I've been so honored to be with him since 1955.
I feel like that it's really strengthened me in the things of the Lord, and I thank him for that. And I thank you for putting up with me all this time. You've been very gallant, and I appreciate it. Some of you stayed away from church. Let me tell you something he told me. I was resigning a long time ago. I was tired and weary, and when I'd get up to speak, people would get up and march out. That makes a preacher feel bad, I don't care who he is.
And then, I'd meet them outside and put down my hand and shake hands with them, and they'd just turn their back and walk away. Then they started leaving the church, one by one. Well, I thought maybe if I'd resign, they'd come back. I wasn't blaming them. And I had my resignation written out. He called me one Saturday from Tucson, Arizona. He said, "Brother Collins, I was up in the mountains praying today, and the angel of the Lord told me to call you. What's the matter?" I said, "I guess everything's alright Brother Branham," and he said, "No, no, that's not it."
He said, "There's a problem, and you tell me what it is."
I said, "Well, I was resigning tomorrow," and I told him why.
He said, "Don't you do that." He said, "I can tell you the reason why they went out from us."
I didn't know what to expect then. I said, "What, Brother Branham?"
He said, "Because they weren't of us!"
Now that shook me. They weren't of us.
And I believe the true believers will hold to nothing but the Word of the Lord that come to this day. This is the greatest day in history. It's a lovely time, and I trust that God blesses every one of you supremely from now on. I don't know what I'm going to do now, but I felt like it was time to do something, because I worked under the Methodist church for a long time and it wasn't easy.
And I went through some things very similar to what I see going on. I'm going to tell you one thing, they promote it. And that was, get the young people, get the young people, get the young people. Whatever you have to do to get them! And I found what their theory was. If you get the young people, eventually you'll get the parents. And if you get the parents, eventually, you'll get their money!
I find nearly everything is based on money value. You can't base this on money value! This is the Word of the Lord that he so generously given to us! And the Lord helping me, I'll stay with it the longest day I live, which won't be too long now. You know, I'll soon be ninety years old. It won't be too long, but I want to give Him every thing I've got, however I have to do it. I love the Lord. And ever since I went to that meeting in Macon, GA,
I've understood more about the Lord than I ever knew was possible to know. And I've watched, and I see what's taken place. If you'll watch your "types," you'll see it too. But God bless you and be with you is our prayer.
Does your cult church teach that Branham was "God in human flesh?" Or that he was omnipotent, knowing "what you had three weeks ago for breakfast?"
... or are they simply keeping that part secret?
I may disagree with many things this pastor teaches, doctrinally. I no longer decrease the deity of God by deifying a man. I no longer believe the cult strategies of control that are incompatible with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. But there is one thing this pastors says that I will re-emphasize, because I do believe that he hit the nail on the head:
"If you get to the young people, eventually you get the parents. And if you get the parents, eventually you get their money."

This interview was conducted on 22 December 1988, when Peter Coyle of Sessia was 81 years old. The story behind the interview is interesting: Peter received a letter from USA from Debbie Nunes who said that her great grandmother was originally Mary Ellen Coyle, born in Ardboe on 15 August 1875. Were there any relatives left in Ardboe?
A hunt through the Ardboe Parish records revealed that Mary Ellen Coyle was in fact a sister of Peter Coyle's father, Frank Coyle. Peter did not know that this woman existed, as she had gone to America before he was born.
The interview was made on tape to send to Peter's newly discovered relatives in Rhode Island, USA, who were delighted to learn first-hand about the family their great grandmother had left behind in Ardboe.
Interviewer – Peter, can you tell me about your father. What was his name, and what do you recall about him from your early days?
Peter – His name was Frank. I mind when I was a child him pulling the cigarette out of my mouth. I had just stepped over the stile into John's field out of our own field and I was smoking a cigarette. He never said he done it, he just took the cigarette and walked on and smoked it. But I was never checked for it.
Int – Was he a fisherman?
Peter – All his lifetime he was. He fished from the Wee Rock down there and he also fished from Eglish's, with Tammy Coyle and Barney Coyle. They would have been relations of ours. He hadn't got his own boat, but later on in years he got his own boat and his brother Jemmy fished with them. That was all sailing boats at that time.
Int – Who did your uncle Jemmy marry?
Peter – He married Mary Roberts and he died up there in Mountjoy. But he was around here all the time. He was a powerful whistler, and when he came to court he would start to whistle on the road and he would stay in place till she would come out. So he married her at the finish up.
Int – That is Frank, and Jemmy. You said Joe was a brother as well?
Peter – I think he was. I'm not right sure on that.
Int – Do you remember him?
Peter – Ach, terrible well. Mind him? You would not forget him in a hurry. All his life he was a fisherman. But he also worked here with Devlin who bought fish. Joe Coyle was a wee small man like my father, but Jemmy was a big tall straight man.
Int – Were there any more of them?
Peter – Oh aye, Lewis. I mind him terrible well. I mind him a soldier. I mind him coming back from England as a soldier. He fought in the First World War but he was wounded and he was never any good after that. He got a bullet in the hinch and he never could get it out.
That was the finish of him. So he started a barber shop down in…… down in the South of Ireland somewhere. His daughter is living there I think. They only had the one daughter. Lewis stayed here and there. He never had a fixed place. He went to his sister Sarah Jane and he stayed with her.
Int – Were there any more brothers?
Peter – There was a Ned. He married a Cookstown woman – that finished him. There's some of them around Cookstown yet. I didn't know him too well, but he was a big hardy man.
Int – Do you recall your aunt Sarah Jane?
Peter – Aw, terrible well. She was a wee small woman, but she wasn't sharp. She lived on Spion Kop, that hill at the back of the Diamond Corner. John O'Neill I think her husband was called. He worked a day here and a day there, wherever he could get work.
Sarah Jane lived to be a very old woman. She smoked a pipe her lifetime. A clay pipe and hard tabaccy. And she smoked till she wasn't that height. You wouldn't have seen her sitting on the seat if you had come in.
Int – Now, Mary Ellen, the one who went to America?
Peter – I never knowed her, I never knowed she existed, you started her to exist.
Int – No, you got the letter first!
Peter – I never knowed she existed.
Int – Well, she has the same father and the same mother as the others, so she must be a sister.
Peter – What friends would Debbie Nunes be to me?
Int – Debbie Nunes' grandfather would be your first cousin. And now, you told me earlier that you had yet another aunt?
Peter – Aye, Kate Coyle. I told you about her. Kate Coyle, Kate Corr, Buckum's Kate and Tooley's wife.
Int – She had four names?
Peter – Aye. I do mind her. She used to live up in Drumad, I think. She was married to Willie Corr. A brother of oul Copes's wife. Mary Copes was his sister. Kate had three or four boys, but I couldn't name them now. Kate was a big strong woman, and always wore a cap in bed. She always wore a cap like this in bed, she never took it off her. She wouldn't have slept without it. I think there's some of them Corrs living in Coalisland yet.
Int – These uncles and aunts of yours seem to have been very long–lived?
Peter – My father was 78 or 79 when he died. Jemmy was an oul man too. Joe lived till you could hardly have looked at him. He must have been near ninety. And he was as bad a man ever walked on feet. Why? Because you couldn't have agreed with him for two minutes. Not two minutes till he would have been back at you. He would have started a fight. He was a hardy man. The man you need to ask about Buckum's Joe is Gourley (Francis Ryan) down the road. For he worked with him in his time, digging spuds and things like that through the country, wherever he got a day's pay.
And the women lived to be very oul as well. You may tell Debbie Nunes if she is any friend of them she needn't be afraid of dying……. She'll have a hell of a long time to live.
Int – Now, Peter, do you recall your father's parents, who were married in 1859?
Peter – Perfectly.
Int – That is, Francis Coyle, your father's father?
Peter – Oul Buckum. I do surely. And his wife Ellen French too. The best woman that ever walked. The kindliest woman that ever walked on feet. They lived up in Kinrush at Nugent's Corner where the airfield is now, and they died up in Trickvallen, along with their daughter Sarah Jane.
Int – What kind of a person was he?
Peter – You could have looked at him, but that was the height of it. A wee small man, but as bad a man as ever walked too. If you said anything to him, you would have to have boxed him. He was very nettley.
Int – And your grandmother, Ellen French, what was she like?
Peter – Aw, she was the nicest woman that ever lived. That young woman Debbie Nunes talks about how nice her great granny was – she never was as nice a woman as her mother Ellen French.
She was tarra…. She was good to cubs and things like that. She was a kind woman. When you went in, you got a feed of……… her making the bread and a bowl of tay. And every time you went in you got that.
And she had the house spotless. She was a very tasty woman. But that's all I know about her. She lived in Nugent's.
I mind her wake, and Lewis O'Neill was there too. We were two children, and we were put to bed. And mammy and Sarah Jane (Lewis's mother) and three or four of the women were all there in the room, and there was no fire and it was a cold house. All they had was a pot of coal – the pot was sitting in the middle of the floor and they just pulled it in under their clothes for heat.
So they had a bottle of whiskey, about half a pint, it wasn't a big bottle. But they had stuck it away under our pillow anyway, and in the night time whenever all was quiet, I stuck the bottle to my mouth and took a good drink of it and Lewis finished it, and when the women came along there was nothing left in the bottle.
That was at Ellen French's wake, and that was where the "Bowl" got his nickname, when he was called in for his tay. It wasn't a big table, and they were all around the table, and he couldn't see any place at it for himself. And they said to him, "What's wrong with you now, John?" "I see no bowl for me", he says, and that's what gave him the "Bowl". So there's a wee bit of history for you.
Int – Have you been in touch at all with Debbie Nunes?
Peter – Our Roseanne wrote to her and told her about other relatives of ours living in Pawtucket – my nieces you know – and she has found out about them and they are all astray in the head about that.
Int – That's very good.
Peter – We have too many relatives, that's all is wrong.
Int – But, for an American, it's a great thing to find out where their family came from.
Peter – Aye, it's a great boost. Surely.
Int – Do you know anything more about the Frenchs?
Peter – Nothing. But I mind one day I was in the Devlins' shop one day, and John Corroran that made the poems – he died in 1949 – he told me that we were friends. "Sure I'm no friend of yours," I said to him.
"You are a closer friend that the people you're talking about," says he "for my mother was French, and your grandmother Ellen was French too."
At that time, I didn't know there was a French in me at all. Now I know I'm one of the oul boys that made the songs.
Int – You mean Percy French?
Peter – Surely. I'm one of that connection.
Int – If you go back far enough in the records, in 1862 there was only one family of the name French in Ardboe, they were one of six families who lived under the roof of each other on the "Street" close to the Old Cross. Those who lived on the "Street" at that time were John Coyle, Sarah Creehan, Daniel Coyle, Aaron French, Martha Coyle and James Coyle.
Peter – That James Coyle was possibly a brother of my grandfather, oul Frank Coyle. There were three brothers of them, Jock, Tapney, and Buckum. The three of them had nicknames.
Buckum was my father's father.
Tapney was…….he was connected with Tapney's Peter who was saved from drowning when James Cassidy was drowned in 1904.
Jock was James.
Int – How did your grandfather get the name Buckum?
Peter – I only know that his wife called him Buckum one time, when he told her he was going to join the army. They had a row in the house and she said, "Shite, Buckum, you're not the height!" and I believe that's the way of it, that's where Buckum came out of. He had to go and sit down again, he was drunk like….
Int – Did you tell us what your grandfather did, what he worked at?
Peter – He was a knockabout. You know what a knockabout is, a day here and a day there. You couldn't have agreed with him, if you had been trying to fish with him.
Int – Well, Peter, it seems the Coyles in Ardboe all originally came from the "Street" in Farsnagh, and a lot of them are living around there yet.
Peter – That's right, we're all mixed through other. We are all pigs of the one sow.

May 3, 2017
Hartsville, SC – The Byerly Foundation has opened the 2017/2018 grant cycle and will be accepting grant requests until June 16, 2017. The Board expects to announce grant recipients in September.

Part I: Overview
The steering wheel is the driver's primary interface with his car. Apart from the obvious use of actually steering the car around the circuit, the wheel is a complex and highly technical piece of equipment which gives the driver the information that he needs to drive the car and the facility to tune the car for various situations as they arise out on track.
Although there is a constant stream of data from the car to the pits which allows the engineers to monitor the car's health, only the driver can actually change any settings once the car is on the track. A few years ago, the regulations permitted 'two-way telemetry' which allowed data to be sent from the pit to the car, for example mixture modes changes or changes from dry to wet conditions, however this facility was subsequently removed for cost reasons. Now the driver himself has to make any required changes when the car is not in the pits.
Like most of the parts of the car, the main body of the steering wheel is made from carbon fibre. The hand grips can be trimmed in alcantara (a versatile composite material composed of 68% polyester and 32% polyurethane!) or rubber depending on the preference of the driver. The positioning of the switches is also down to driver choice and each driver will have his preferred layout.
At Grand Prix weekends, each driver will have a minimum of three steering wheels available so there is always a spare on hand should there be any issues.
The steering wheel is designed and manufactured in-house by the team. The only part which we do not produce is the display element which is part of the standard electronics package that all teams are required to use. If you see any onboard camera shots looking over a driver's shoulder, you will recognise the same part in all of the cars. The display can be built into the steering wheel as we do or some teams prefer to mount it to the edge of the cockpit itself.
We are often asked that burning question… 'just how much is the steering wheel worth?' It's a difficult question to answer as, like many parts on the car, the steering wheel is completely bespoke and you can't just buy one 'off the shelf'. But if you were to say £20,000 then you probably wouldn't be too far from the mark!

Homes Caring For Autism Joins With Care Management Group
Orbis Partners have finalised the sale of Homes Caring for Autism (HCA) to nationwide learning disability provider Care Management Group (CMG) for £12 million.
HCA is a group of ten care homes based across Somerset, North Somerset and Wiltshire, specialising in residential care for young adults with complex needs arising from autism. Established in 2003 by Richard Smith, the business grew to four homes and 20 placements with the support of funding from RBS. However, in 2009 RBS changed its lending and valuation criteria and placed HCA into their Global Restructuring Group (GRG). Richard was introduced by GRG to Intrinsic Equity, the investment vehicle of Orbis Partners, to help get his business back into growth.
Intrinsic Equity invested in 2009 for a significant minority stake, enabling the business to fund the development of further homes and to operationally and strategically position the business to meet the increasing demand for services.
Over the past eight years, the Intrinsic Equity team has provided hands-on leadership and support to help the business scale its operations and establish a robust platform for growth. HCA now delivers complex care to 63 placements across ten homes and has grown turnover from £2m to £10m.
Established in 1996, the buyer, CMG, has significant expertise in supporting people with learning disabilities and particularly complex needs, including autistic spectrum conditions, mental health needs, challenging behaviour, profound and multiple learning disabilities and associated complex health needs. The business has over 120 services across England and South Wales.
We are proud to have supported Richard and the amazing team at HCA to deliver high levels of complex care in a safe and professional environment. We are pleased to have concluded the sale to CMG who will enable the business to continue to support young adults in challenging situations.
We have been on a long journey with James and the Intrinsic team; their continual support and advice has helped to make our business stronger and more valuable. We had a range of serious offers from credible acquirers; CMG was carefully selected to continue the work we had started and provide long-term support to the people HCA care for.
Richard Smith, the founder and main shareholder
The HCA shareholders were advised by Shah Zaki and Peter Bull from Orbis Partners and legal advice was provided by Simon Gill and Matt Smith at Gateley plc.

Evaluating two group programmes of cognitive training in mild-to-moderate AD: Is there any difference between a 'global' stimulation and a 'cognitive-specific' one?
This study evaluated the efficacy of two different group procedures of non-pharmacological treatment in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD). Thirty-two patients entered the study and were divided in groups of four subjects. We compared recreational activities ('global' stimulation) with a combination of procedural memory training on activities of daily living and neuropsychological rehabilitation of 'residual' functions ('cognitive-specific'). All patients and caregivers were ensured psychological support. Both group treatments were delivered for six weeks. Multidimensional efficacy assessment of functional, behavioural and neuropsychological aspects was performed. Patients receiving 'global' stimulation showed a substantial reduction in behavioural disturbances (Neuropsychiatric Inventory [NPI]: frequency p =0.034; severity p =0.012); Revised Memory Behaviour Problems Checklist (frequency p =0.008; reaction p =0.027), and better performance in the Functional Living Skills Assessment (FLSA), a standardized direct measure of performance in everyday life ( p =0.021) and Verbal Fluency for Letters ( p =0.000). Patients receiving 'cognitive-specific' treatment improved only on the scale evaluating functional competence in daily living (Nurses' Observation Scale for Geriatric Patients [NOSGER] p =0.018). At follow-up (six months later), compared with baseline, patients following the 'global' stimulation treatment showed an improvement at caregiver distress on NPI ( p =0.04). No other significant difference was detected. Our results support the contention that a 'global' treatment can lead to a significant improvement in AD patients, both for behavioural and functional aspects. The 'cognitive-specific' treatment we used in this research did not show better efficacy.

One of my big annoyances is that Captain Sisko is running the show. Why does Starfleet even *have* admirals and commodores, if not to coordinate major fleet movements? (I guess they're occasionally antagonists and scene-setters.) Would it be too much to have Admiral Ross, who's been a recurring character, direct the fight? Is this "The Main Characters Do Everything" or were they just too cheap to build a flagship set?
Anyway, that leads to my Star Trek trivia question: which officer (in canon) is responsible for the greatest loss, by number of starships, in Starfleet history?
I think it must be Sisko, given that the engagement was described as having about 600 ships and there were significant losses (though at least 200 survived.) Probably not all are capital ships. Wolf 359 was described as just 40 ships vs. the Borg Cube, so Admiral Hanson is probably off the hook.

………. about these childminding agencies
You see, Department for Education, I do tend to ask a lot of questions, and I do need to understand things, things need to based on common sense, and research and have the best interests of children and families at the heart of everything, but …. well … with childminding agencies ….. it does not make any sense to me, and the reasons given by the government seem based on saving the government money – which is important, but all the other reasons just do not add up.
And it is not just me that thinks this
There is a post on the Department of Education Facebook page which so far over 200 people have left a comment – anyone who has not seen it yet you can VIEW IT HERE
Childminders – established and those new to the profession are saying loud and clear that they do not want to join an agency.
Parents currently using childminders are saying they want their childminder to continue to have an individual Ofsted inspection, and more importantly an individual grade based on their individual practice.
Department of Education, you have responded on your Facebook page and reminded those posting comments that childminding agencies are not compulsory that childminders can choose to remain independently registered with Ofsted.
This is true – but with due respect Department of Education, you are missing the point – by giving a choice and by offering childminders the opportunity to register via a childminding agency – you are creating a two tier system and it is this two system that is the issue – not if there is a choice.
So for your benefit Department of Education, and anyone else who can't understand why I am so many others are not happy with their being a choice about if childminders join a childminding agency – it is the whole two tier system and the removal of the right of every early years setting – including every childminder to have a Ofsted inspection and to be graded on their own practice.
I have personally been involved in childminding for over 30 years – and have seen many changes – but all mainly in the right direction – that of ensuring registered childminders are regarded and treated equally alongside their colleagues from day nurseries and pre schools. With EYFS 2008, we made a start, with EYFS 2012, we continued to move in the right direction – things were not perfect but on the whole, I and my colleagues – from all early years settings could, and did work within the EYFS 2012, in ways that worked for our setting and which provided opportunities for the children in our care to be happy, safe and learn through play. We managed our own setting, and were graded on our abilities of leadership and management – as well as all the areas that Ofsted makes a judgement on.
However we now have the prospect of childminding agencies changing all that
Taking the governments reasons for introducing childminding agencies – one at a time, I hope to show that the government are at best well intended but misguided – and at worse just implementing their ideas regardless of the impact on childminders, families, and children – just to achieve government budget cuts
First One – Childminder numbers are falling
It is true that some childminders did resign when the Early Years Foundation Stage 2008 was first implemented – and others resigned over the next few years, as their inspections became due – I know because at the time I worked for a local authority and one of my tasks was to phone those who resigned and find out why.
My phone calls, revealed that some of these individuals resigned because they were going to anyway in the near future and did not want to make huge changes to their practice just to continue childminding for another year or two – and so brought forward their plans to resign.
At the same time there was a huge increase in other provision, and childminders faced increasing competition, and so some childminders closed their settings because their setting was not sustainable – it must be remembered that in group settings if they have two vacancies, it is a very small % of overall income – for a childminder it could be 2/3 rds. or even 100% of their available places and income. Therefore when other provision opens it always has an impact on other settings and particularly childminder settings.
Also I have seen dips in numbers of childminders – over and over again, it is part of the cycle of supply and demand. Not enough childminders – people think childminding is a good career choice – and so apply to register – then usually there is an oversupply of childminders, and some give up as not enough work or find childminding is not the right career for them- and lo and behold there is a drop in numbers again.
So although there was an initial drop in the numbers of registered childminders, and a more sustained one than the usual cycle of supply and demand, around the time that EYFS 2008 was introduced, recent figures have shown that numbers of childminders have been increasing – and so have the number of places provided as more childminders work with an assistant or co-minder. Over a period of time, numbers will return to the market forces of supply and demand.
So Department of Education – you need to use up to date relevant data not data taken from a time when there was a major change in regulations. You need to look at the bigger picture.
Oh, and while looking at relevant data, Department for Education – maybe you should look at why childminders are resigning – right now – and why many of those posting on your Facebook page are saying they have had enough and agencies are the 'last straw' – they are looking for their exit strategy. So maybe we will be seeing another big drop in the numbers of childminders. So any recruitment of new childminders may well be at the cost of losing established childminders – who have built successful businesses, and have the highest Ofsted grades.
Second One – Childminders find following the EYFS difficult or challenging, particularly the paperwork side of things and are therefore not achieving the highest grades
Some childminders were put off by the new terminology around the curriculum, because until the implementation of Early Years Foundation Stage 2008, only the few childminders who were able to provide the Nursery Education Funding had had to implement a planned curriculum – so it was all very new to most childminders, all worrying, it was difficult for some to get their head around all the paperwork, especially as training (at the time) was so heavily based on group practice not home based practice.
And others didn't want to change their childminding practice and implement all the planning and recording, that at that time, was implied by trainers and local authorities was required
However, those that remained registered childminders, embraced the changes and the requirements of EYFS 2008 – and more recently EYFS 2012. Professionalism rose, as did the results of Ofsted inspections – and considering that childminders work mainly on their own, that they have to do everything – yes everything themselves – including spending huge amounts of their own time in the evenings and weekends – unpaid time that is – completing paperwork, attending training and meetings – it is a remarkable achievement that 71% (as stated in the Ofsted Annual report 2011) gained a good or outstanding grade.
The other 29% of childminders who had not gained a good or outstanding grade at the time of the annual report, did not do so for a variety of reasons – including the fact that some are not motivated to improve, some do find it hard, some do need support BUT the same can be said for a % of group settings – it is not a childminder specific issue- AND it should be noted that (until recently when Ofsted changed the criteria of inspections (again) and there has been a decrease in the higher grades – across all settings) there had been a continual increase in the number of childminders with good or outstanding grades.
So Department of Education – the issue of settings gaining a less than good grade due to difficulties with paperwork, is not just a childminder issue – so why only target childminders?
Third one – Childminders struggle with the business side of childminding – including setting up their business
There is a lot to get your head around, when setting up a childminding business – I should know because I have personally set up twice and I used to run business courses for childminders both as a independent trainer and as a member of local authority of staff. However – anything new is confusing to start with, is time consuming as you work out how to do things. There is a lot of help available – from the necessary tools of the trade that can be purchased from membership organisations or from companies that specialise in such products – to hands on help from established childminders who are usually very happy to provide peer to peer support. There are also a huge number of online social media groups and forums, all offering advice and some offering templates, spread sheets and so on.
There used to be excellent support available from First Steps Childminding Networks, from local authorities early years teams, and specifically their Childminding teams, through home visits and training and meetings – but that has now all more or less disappeared as local authority budgets are cut. Everyone understands the need for the government to save money BUT what I can not understand is why the local authorities were not able to continue to provide this support but to make a charge for it. Systems were in place, training written, expertise of staff established – so why scrap all that and start again?
Childminders and other early years settings understand the need to 'balance the books' and the need for things to be costed properly and for customers to pay appropriately for the services and goods provided – after all we run small businesses, or are responsible for the running of charities or part of bigger companies. We recognised that the last few years have been exceptionally good in the terms of support and services provided for free – but we also understand that we now need to pay for these things.
BUT – why do childminders need to pay the costs and profits of a middleman – i.e. an agency? Why would any childminder want or need to pay for support with the business side of childminding week in , week out? There is NO NEED – there is already enough support out there for childminders who are setting up.
Do you follow the same principle for all the other small business that set up and who find it hard to start with and so ask for support and help? No, of course not, because like all small businesses – including childminders – once you have set up, and understand what needs doing and how to do – you can do it yourself – and if you really can't or don't have time, there are hundreds of accountants who will do your accounting for you, for a very reasonable fee.
So Department for Education – there are over 50,000 childminders running small businesses, very successfully and they don't need the support of a agency – neither will those who become childminders in the future – they may need help initially with understanding how to run a small business – just like all small business – but they don't need support once their business is set up. Why are you targeting childminders? Why are you assuming that childminders cannot run their own businesses, when over 50,000 already do?
Fourth One – Childminding Agencies will reduce costs by reducing the burden of paperwork
Department for Education – HOW? What can an agency do to reduce the costs? Childminders do their paperwork themselves – yes it takes up a lot of time BUT there is no cost attached to completing paperwork. If someone else could do the paperwork, then this would have to be paid for – so would increase costs. However I have asked many times and so not received an answer as to what paperwork an agency could do – the attendance records – the accident / medication / incident records – the development records and so on – all need – no – all have – to be filled in by the childminder.
Department of Education, you clearly think there is some paperwork burden that you could reduce that would reduce costs – why don't you provide the details?
Fifth One – Childminding Agencies will increase the professional status of childminders
In 1948, the government of the time claimed that the 1948 Nurseries and Childminders Act would bring all early years settings under one umbrella. In 1989 the government claimed the Children Act 1989 would bring childminding more in line with group daycare. In 2001 the government claimed that bringing all early years settings under the Ofsted umbrella would be a good thing and help standardise regulations. In 2008 the government claimed that EYFS 2008 would reduce the differences between childminders and group settings, and again in 2012 with EYFS 2012 – Department of Education that is 65 years of Government telling us that standardisation in regulations and inspections are a good thing. Then all of a sudden that changes, and childminders are targeted, to be treated differently and so why on earth would other early years professionals or parents think that a childminder who is not inspected directly by Ofsted and graded on their own practice is better, more professional? Agency childminders will not be judged by Ofsted on their own practice – the agency will do this – and the agency will be graded on their 'robust systems' – a two tier system, a confusing system, a unjust system, a system that will be open to personal judgement and subject to different agency model requirements.
How will that increase agency childminders and even childminders in general, professional status?
So, Department of Education, I do not understand your reasons for wanting to introduce Childminding agencies. The information in More Great Childcare and even More Affordable Childcare do not provide any answers – and to be blunt neither have any of your responses to letters sent by people like me, by MP's on our behalf, as usually all we get is 'Please see More Great Childcare' – that is until more recently and all we get is 'Childminding agencies are not compulsory'
BUT that is the whole point – the one you are missing – it is the removal of individual Ofsted Inspections for SOME childminders that we are objecting to – I (we) do not object to support, I ( we) do not object to paying for support ……..
HOWEVER, I (we) do object to having a two tier system where some childminders are not required to have an individual Ofsted inspection and are not judged by the same national body as all other early years settings.
If the government want to save money and want to retain a standardised system of registration and inspection – why are they not proposing that Ofsted just registers and inspects early years agencies – and that all early years settings pay to be part of those early years agencies?
At least that would be standardised and all early years settings would be treated the same. Targeting childminders and providing the option for some childminders to opt out of Ofsted inspections and individual grades, goes against everything the successive Governments of this country have told us and in my opinion is a very backward step.
All families should be able to make an informed choice about their child's early years care and education from a range of early years settings that have all been inspected and graded on their individual practice by the same national body or system.
If Every Child Matters – then every early years settings should have an individual inspection and be graded on their own practice – otherwise responsibility for the safety, the wellbeing, the outcomes of children attending those childminders who join an agency and who are not inspected and graded on their own practice – will the responsibility of the agency, not the agency childminder or Ofsted, as it will be the agency providing the leadership and management for those childminders and the agency providing the quality assurance.
And how can that be right?
How on earth could there be an investigation if a child attending a agency childminder has an accident or does not achieve the outcomes expected? The childminder will say 'But the agency passed me, I just follow their policies and procedures, no one said anything when they visited, so I assumed everything was OK' . Ofsted will say 'we did not inspect that childminder' …… and the agency will say …..?
Who will accept responsibility? I hope these agencies will live up to the expectations of Government and of prospective agency childminders who may be thinking 'oh good, no more Ofsted inspections', and who do as little as possible as they will have an agency grade, not a grade based on their own practice.
I hope those who are thinking of setting up childminding agencies will have thought of all these things ……..and will have extensive insurance in place.
Talking of which, will the companies that currently insure childminders want to insure those who are not inspected and held responsible for their own practice? A bit like insuring someone to drive a car who has not passed the standard driving test by driving a car and being judged on their knowledge and understanding, and their ability to actually drive a car but who has been given the right to drive by a third party – let's say by a driving agency.
And just imagine what would happen if it was suggested that some drivers could opt to join a driving agency and avoid having to take the normal standardised driving test?

Riverside Garden, Sunbury
This project involved designing and then entirely constructing the new garden of a beautiful riverside property in Sunbury-on-Thames. The brief was for a Mediterranean courtyard style garden with fragrant and exotic planting, a fountain, and a seating area next to the river. The site was only accessible by boat from a riverside mooring 100 yards upstream, meaning all materials (10m2 of waste material, 50m2 of paving, glass panels, sand, cement, plants, soil etc.) had to come in and out via a small boat - a considerable logistical challenge! Particular features included in this design are the glass balustrade allowing an uninterrupted view out towards the river, the water feature with electrics hidden beneath the paving and the custom-built cedar trellis and handrail. All pots were linked to an irrigation system to allow for minimal ongoing maintenance.

Why do people go to church? This was a question I posed to my husband earlier today. I mean I know why people SHOULD go, but why do they REALLY go? His response was pretty insightful I thought…"Not all people, but many people go to church because of fear." Not a healthy fear of the Lord, he explained – as in like being in awe of Him – but a fear of what will happen if they don't go. Fear of dying. Fear of not getting into heaven. I really had to stop and think that one through a second which prompted further pondering on the subject.
You know I think here in the South, church is somehow part of the culture. I mean the region's nickname is the Bible Belt, you know. If you live in the South and you don't go to church, well then I'll bet your Granny gets talked about at the Ladies Auxiliary Meetings 'cause her hoodlum grandkids don't care a thing in the world about God. But one thing that I find interesting is how folks can misbehave and cut up, cuss like sailors, hit the bars and the college parties, tailgate to the tune of numerous alcoholic beverages – that whole "live like there's no tomorrow" lifestyle – but then show up on Sunday morning for church and somehow it's all good. Like the lifestyle they lead Monday through Saturday doesn't matter as long as they drag themselves into the sanctuary on Sunday morning for an hour. And if I had to guess, it's not repentance so much that brings them to church as it is guilt. Now I know what you're probably thinking right now. I'm being judgemental. Nah, I just know that because I tried living like that for a while myself. I couldn't take it. I felt like the biggest hypocrite in the universe and then that just brought on more guilt. So then I tried not going to church at all for a while. That didn't work out so well either, needless to say, but that's another story for another day.
So….we've got fear, culture, guilt. How about the entertainment factor? I'm currently reading Radical by David Platt (thanks Mrs. Juanita!!) and it's really making me do some thinking. Here's a little excerpt:
God's Word is enough for millions of believers who gather in house churches just like this one. His Word is enough for millions of other believers who huddle in African jungles, South American rain forests, and Middle Eastern cities. But is His Word enough for us? This is the question that often haunts me when I stand before a crowd of thousands of people in the church I pastor. What if we take away the cool music and the cushioned chairs? What if the screens are gone and the stage is no longer decorated? What if the air conditioning is off and the comforts are removed? Would His Word still be enough for His people to come together?
Kinda strong words for us living the American dream, huh? I think we've gotten to a place in America where we are so desensitized to the world around us that it takes bigger and bigger stuff to keep us interested. We are no longer impressed with the fact that we can call someone on the phone who is in a whole other country. Big deal, I can even check my bank balance on my cell phone. We aren't blown away anymore by the rows and rows of literature and information at the library. Ha! We can sit on our duffs at the computer and find out darn near anything about darn near anything. Heck, we don't even have to spend the day cooking a good meal like my great-ma used to do. Shoot no, we can just pop a block of food in the microwave and have a semi-hearty meal in minutes chock full of umm….well I don't know of what. I'll have to get back to you on that. We have DVD players in our cars. Airplanes fly overhead and we barely even look up. Bottom line is…you gotta try pretty hard if you expect to get a wow outta us anymore. So in thinking about church in terms of entertainment, do we try so hard to make God interesting and tolerant and hip and fun that we lose the true character of God somewhere in the mix? I mean if we really did decide to take away the cool music and the narly light show, would people still come to church?
God is a God of love and compassion, of grace and mercy, of forgiveness and restoration. But He is also a God of judgement and a God of wrath, a God who hates sin and the wicked cannot dwell with Him (Psalm 5:4). He gave His Son over to carry the burden of our sins. He's not here for our entertainment. He is deserving of our complete devotion and that means more than just one hour a week. Period. We can't live for the world and by the world's standards and live for God too. You are either for Him or against Him, but you can't be in the middle (Luke 11:23).
So I'm curious as to what you think. Has the church gone overboard in trying to make God more appealing? Are we misrepresenting God in an effort to entice people to come to church?

There were a few photos that were seen over the weekend which showed that the iphone 7's latest color option was indeed a variation of the Space Black. This was something that had been in rumours for a very long time however, now it has been officially seen. Earlier there were pictures which showed a mute button, Sim tray and black chassis, the colors seemed to be a lot darker than the Space Gray option that could be seen in the iPhone 6s. However, it was also explained by the sources that this was something which was unclear when it comes to the pictures.
If you look at the black color that has been offered recently, you will find that the same option is also there for the Apple Watch, however the one thing that is yet to be known is if the company plans to launch this new color alongside the Space Gray, or if they actually had plans to use this color instead of the Gray one and let this be the replacement.
One of the driving factors for the sales of the iPhone 7 could become the fact that there is a new color option that was offered by the company. This also points out to the fact that the company may come up with an update to the hardware which is said to be more iterative. By retaining the same design for the third year n0ow, the tic tock upgrade cycle of the company has been broken. This is due to the fact that the design has been retained for the third year now.
It also seems to be that Apple has plans to come up with same new features during the launch of the iPhone 7 which is said to be for the first time. Here they also plan to come up with a device that is waterproof and is similar to that of the Android phones which are of the higher end.
