I'll admit, my life feels pretty overwhelming right now. I face more responsibilities and pressures than ever before. Please don't think I'm complaining—I've chosen this path.
I'm sharing my difficulty with you in the hope that I can encourage you with the solution I've found. Before I go there, let me start with strategies that haven't helped.
You may have heard the advice "Fake it 'till you make it." In other words, act happy even when you don't feel like it. That may work as a temporary bandaid but not as a long-term solution. At some point, we need to open up and share our struggles with others, and always with God (Jas. 5:16; Psa. 32:6).
I've tried the opposite extreme of faking it—throwing a pity party—which only made matters worse. There's a fine line between pouring our heart out to God and feeling sorry for ourselves, between venting to others and whining like a child (Job 40:2; Phil. 2:14).
For me personally, only one approach consistently and effectively helps me deal with stress: keeping my priorities straight. God first, family second, health third, work fourth.
For me personally, only one approach consistently and effectively helps me deal with stress: keeping my priorities straight.
When life gets overwhelming and we see no relief in sight, we have no choice but to embrace the chaos. We also have no choice but to keep God first if we want to please Him in all that we do (John 6:27).
During stressful times, we are tempted to neglect life's most important responsibilities, like worship, prayer, Bible study, evangelism, hospitality, and family time. "I can't help it right now," we tell ourselves. "I'll get my priorities straight once I get through this stressful period."
I see two major problems with this attitude. First, no one is guaranteed tomorrow. If we put other priorities above God, even temporarily, we're sinning right now (Matt. 19:16-22). We do not want to die in that state.
Second, we are creatures of habit. When we get our priorities out of whack, we get used to living that way. Our conscience may sting at first but feels nothing after a while (1 Tim. 4:2; Eph. 4:19). Then, once our lives slow down and we have time for God again, we will be less likely to change our ways.
Stress is addicting, believe it or not. Some people get stuck in a rut of backward priorities and never escape. Sadly, in the end, they will not escape the wrath of God (Matt. 25:41-46).
So, make up your mind to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, come what may (Matt. 6:33)! When life gets overwhelming, stick your commitment with focused determination, resisting Satan's temptations to make you give up. If you do, you will never—and I mean never—regret it.

ADOTAS – Even porn is taking a holiday thanks to the souring economy, according to a report in the Silicon Alley Insider.
The mobile porn market will weigh in at about $2.2 billion this year, roughly 3.5% below expectations, the Insider reports, citing a Juniper Research study. By 2013, the mobile porn market is expected to reach $4.9 billion.

It's probably not news that a baby was throwing a tantrum in the middle of New York Fashion Week at Kanye West's Yeezus For Adidas show last night, but the fact that it wasn't Kanye himself this time may come as a surprise. The white knight of artistic achievement's progeny, in fact, had a meltdown in the front row, leading to this great picture of Anna Wintour looking like she just smelled a load in a pair of diapers, and for once it wasn't her own.
The famous baby's famous grandmother found it funny anyway.

Last years trailer:
A Capoeira batizado is an annual graduation ceremony celebrating the progress that students have made over the past year. Guest Mestres and teachers are invited to teach workshops which allows an extraordinary exchange of information while allowing students to come in contact with the many cultural aspects of capoeira. Batizado is a chance for students to progress to a higher graduation, or receive their first cord. When a student is first baptized in capoeira he or she receives a nickname or apelido, chosen by the Mestres and teachers involved. Capoeira Ache Brasil batizados take place over a weekend where workshops are taught on Friday and Saturday and the final batizado ceremony is held on Sunday afternoon. Family and friends may attend the show and ceremony on Sunday which is open to the public. Batizado is a very important event for capoeiristas and everyone should do their very best to attend!

Why my womanly cyle is going to the dogsPosted by houndrat on Wednesday Dec 31, 2008 Under dogs, family life, random stuff, Uncategorized
Okay, this is a warming upfront for any of you menfolk who get squeamish at the slightest mention of, oh, how shall I word this? Let's try "womanly cycles".? How's that for vague and non-masculinity threatening?
At any rate, consider yourself forewarned, and on with my story, which happens to be about how I am so disorganized that I managed to use species-inappropriate womanly cycle devices.?
You see, recently, I just started having my womanly cycles again (somehow,? I'm finding it unbelievably amusing? to use that phrase as much as possible in this post–chalk it up to my uber-maturity).? Now, one would think with my vast experience in the womanly cycle arena, I would be beyond making mistakes of this variety.? In fact, one would think my five-year old son would be beyond making mistakes of this variety.? Okay, granted, between pregnancy and nursing, I hadn't had a womanly cycle (how many times is that now?? four?? five?) in over two years, but really, when you think about the fact that I have over twenty years previous experience? in the womanly cycle? department, I should be familiar with the equipment that goes along with it.? I mean, how hard can it possibly be??
And yet, there I was, reaching for another, um, piece of womanly cycle paraphernalia (yes, I'm still snickering like a seventh grade boy) when I make a little discovery. Mind you, I've been using the items in said box for the last few days and didn't notice anything unusual.? Possibly because my bathroom cabinets are in such a state of a disarray that I don't know if I'm grabbing my hairbrush or a stray porcupine half the time.? But I don't know–maybe it's not that big of deal.? I mean, I don't think Fergie or Skye would really care that I accidentally borrowed from their stash:
? Um, yeah.? So maybe it is a little out of the ordinary to erroneously be sticking your dog's womanly cycle products in your undies for days without noticing.? But in my defense, notice they don't actually put the word "dog" or "canine" on the box.? Granted, it would be a little odd to buy a box of human womanly cycle items with a picture of a Yorkie? on the front, but really, that's just a minor detail.? Besides, advertisers are getting crazier every day–who's to say the next Tampax commercial won't be sporting a Labradoodle in a white dress, waxing poetic about the joys of riding the white cotton pony while playing tennis and sipping a cosmo?? Okay, now I've really gone and done it–my apologies to any males who are feeling completely violated right about now–I may as well piss off the feminists? while I'm at it? and blame it all on hormones.?
And actually folks, I've got a little secret to share—those dog products? really aren't? half bad.?
Of course, who knows?? That could just be me growing fond of that 'fresh from the groomers' scent.

For many years, a provision in the Tennessee lien law required owners and prime contractors to keep retainage in a separate escrow account when the contract or subcontract price is $500,000 or greater. However, such escrow accounts were not required to bear interest.
Effective July 1, 2007, such escrow accounts must now bear interest, and all accrued interest is to be paid to the contractor from whom it is withheld. However, the law continues to apply only to those contracts or subcontracts in excess of $500,000.
The new law does not set any benchmark for the amount of interest that the escrow account must earn, or the type of account in which the retained funds must be held. Because the owner or prime contractor withholding the funds now has no incentive to maximize the return on these retained funds, the prime and remote contractors whose contracts are subject to mandatory escrow of retainage should consider including specific provisions in such contracts requiring the retained funds to be placed in accounts that will maximize the interest earned.
Subcontractors and material suppliers should note that the new law does not require a contractor to pay interest downstream to those remote contractors from whom it also withholds retainage. This appears to be a shortcoming in the new law, which was presumably enacted to distribute interest earned on retained funds to those from whom it was withheld. Subcontractors and material suppliers doing business in Tennessee should include specific provisions in their contracts that require the prime contractor to pass through their pro rata share of any interest earned on retained funds.
Retainage Statutorily Capped at Five Percent More significant is amendment to the Prompt Pay Act of 1991, adding a provision that limits retainage in all construction contracts to five percent (5%) of the contract price. Traditionally, retainage has been withheld at ten percent (10%). The new law applies to all contracts and subcontracts, whether public or private, executed on or after July 1, 2007.
The new law significantly benefits remote contractors, whose cash flow will improve from this reduction. For prime contractors, it is arguably a mixed blessing. Limiting the retainage an owner may withhold will improve a prime contractor's cash flow. However, the new law similarly limits a prime contractor's ability to secure its remote
The law does not apply retroactively to contracts or subcontracts executed prior to July 1, 2007. Therefore, a prime contractor that entered into a contract with an owner before July 1 may find that, although the owner may lawfully withhold ten percent retainage under the prime contract, the prime cannot lawfully withhold more than five percent from subcontractors, if those subcontracts were executed on or after July 1.
The new law further provides that retainage held for "work completed" is to be released within 90 days of the completion of such work, or within 90 days of substantial completion of the project, whichever comes first. "Work completed" is to be construed to mean "completion of the scope of the work and all terms and conditions covered by the contract under which the retainage is being held."
Trade industries that lobbied for the new law note that the modification was intended for retainage to be released as work is completed and accepted (so-called "line item retainage"), changing the current practice of holding all retainage until the entire project is completed. If so interpreted, the new law will benefit trades whose work is completed early in a construction project (e.g., graders, concrete), but have traditionally been required to wait until a project's completion to receive final payment for work that was completed and accepted much earlier. The inclusion of "all terms and conditions" appears to support an owner's or prime contractor's right to withhold some portion of retainage for punchlist or defective work, or for delay damages.
Prime contractors are obligated to pay retainage to subcontractors within 10 days of receipt of retainage from the owner, and subcontractors are likewise obligated to pay retainage to sub-subcontractors or material suppliers within 10 days of their receipt of retainage from the prime contractor.
Contractors, both prime and remote, should make use of this new law in contract drafting and negotiation. Retainage provisions in prime contracts should require release of identifiable amounts of retainage upon completion and acceptance of iden tifiable scopes of work. Remote contracts (subcontracts) should require similar release of retainage, or, at the very least, release of all retainage upon completion of the remote contract.
Even if contract language does not specifically require periodic release of retainage, it should be requested. Because the new law is part of the Prompt Pay Act, an owner or prime contractor risks liability for additional interest (at the contract rate, or 10% if the contract is silent) and attorney's fees if it is found to have wrongfully withheld payment in violation of the Act. Although the new law is not clear that retainage must be released on a scope-by-scope basis, the risk of additional liability under the Act may be sufficient to persuade an owner to release such retainage, or persuade a prime contractor to seek release of such retainage from the owner.
Because the law has been enacted as part of the Prompt Pay Act, it does not apply to contracts for residential construction, or to contracts with banks, other financial institutions or insurance companies, all of which are excepted from the scope of the Prompt Pay Act.
1. Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-11-144. 2. Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-11-144(g). The original draft of the bill increased the threshold to $860,000.00; however, that provision was stricken from the final bill signed into law.3. Of course, subcontracts of $500,000 or more are subject to the law, which requires the prime contractor to keep the remote contractor's retainage in a separate account. Simply earmarking a portion of the retainage withheld by the owner does not comply with the technical requirements of the statute.4. Acts 2007, ch. 201 § 3. The new law has not yet been numbered, but is anticipated to be codified at Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-34-103, and is cited hereafter as such.5. Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-34-103(a); Acts 2007, ch. 201 §§ 3, 7.6. Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-34-103(b).7. Id.8. Id.9. Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-34-702. For purposes of this law, "residential construction" means the construction of a building "used or designed to be used as a residence or dwelling place for one (1), two (2), three (3) or four (4) single family units. Id.10. Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-34-703.

Ask The District
who do I make the PSAT check out to which is due tomorrow
Please make the PSAT check out to "RCSD." Thank you.
I am a Friend of Blithewood Garden and we are having aFamily plein air paintout andgarden tours on Sunday, Sept 29 all afternoon. I have more info and a poster to drop off.Might you advise me to whom I should
District Office 845-871-5520
Is it possible for a student not living in Rhinebeck to attend RCS? Can paying a fee, make this possible?Thank you.
The Rhinebeck Central School District accepts students on a tuition basis, with some restrictions. Contact the District Office (845-871-5520) for more information.
Does Rhinebeck have a pre-k program? If so, how do I obtain information?
Rhinebeck does not have a pre-K program.
Is there a copy of the district professional development plan available? If so, how may I obtain a copy. Thanks
My apologies that I am just seeing your request at this time. It looks like your e-mail question went to our spam folder and is just being uncovered now. In response to your request, I will forward our most up to date CDEP Plan, which satisfies NY State Education Department requirements for the District professional development plan. Again, my apologies for the delay.
Do you know if Easter break will be before Easter or after Easter in 2018? I see that Easter is April 1st. Trying to plan a family vacation for 2018. Thanks.
During the 2017-18 school year, the Rhinebeck school district and the Dutchess County public schools have scheduled Spring break during the week leading up to Easter. This has been the county-wide practice for as long as we can recall.
How many students are arrested by the "resource" police that patrol the school each year and how many of them have special needs?
Our building principals report that our SROs have never made an arrest in any of our three schools.
I drive bus 🚌 to Primrose school. If you're delayed so are they? Who governs that in your opinion?
The decision is made by the Rhinebeck Superintendent of Schools. See the School News piece on the District website entitled, "'Tis the Season," for a complete explanation of the process.
Regarding "elevator smoke separation: 1. What is their purpose and functionality in the context of the school? 2. How many units? 3. What is their total cost, including installation?
The Elevator Smoke Guard System allows the existing elevator at CLS to meet the current building code, which requires a smoke guard to separate the elevator shaft from the corridor because the corridor is part of the means of egress from the building. The smoke guard drops down from the ceiling in front of the elevator door in the event of a fire and seals the elevator shaft from the corridor. There would be 2 units installed, one at each floor level. Their estimated total installed cost is $10,000.
What's the total cost of the emergency backup generator?
The total cost of the emergency back-up generator is $435,000.
We recently received a letter describing the water test results at CLS. Was similar testing done at BMS/RHS & if so, when will be made aware of the results? Thank You
According to a new State law that was enacted by Governor Cuomo in late August 2016, all New York State school districts are required to test the water sources in their schools for the presence of lead above certain acceptable levels as determined by the Department of Health. The concern is targeted specifically on drinking water. as a result, drinking fountains and other sources that could provide water for drinking or cooking are of particular concern.
All elementary schools were required to be tested by September 30th. All secondary schools were required to be tested by October 31st. The RCSD met both deadlines.
It took approximately six weeks for the results of the CLS testing to be returned to the District, at which point we notified all parents of CLS students and CLS staff of the results. Anticipating the same turn-around time from laboratories swamped with the required testing, we anticipate receiving the results sometime in early December. As we did with CLS, we will send a notification to all BMS and RHS parents and staff outlining the results.
Unhappy with the way you are rushing this vote. We are given only 18 days to review this project. More importantly there is only one presentation and it is 2 days before Thanksgiving! Very bad timing as we will be traveling to visit our daughter. I would like to hear more on this project but feel additional public presentations are required. Otherwise I will be forced to vote no on this project.
Correction - The facilities "walk through is Monday, November 21st, NOT November 19th. Sorry for the typo and any confusion.
Thank you for your comments. The District now has scheduled two informational presentations before December 6, 2016, the date of the referendum vote. The first will be held on Tuesday, November 22nd at 7 p.m., as you are aware. However, in response to your feedback, we will hold an additional presentation on Tuesday, November 29th, also at 7 p.m. Both will be held in the BMS/RHS library. There will be an opportunity for questions and answers at each presentation so that community members can have all of their questions and concerns addressed before the vote.
In addition, there will be a facilities "walk-through" on Monday, November 21st, starting at 4 p.m., to show the areas in both CLS and BMS/RHS where the proposed work is to take place. The tour will depart from the front entrance of CLS. Additional tours can be scheduled following the Thanksgiving holiday if there is an interest on the part of community members. In addition, District administrators stand ready to answer questions that members of the community may have. Please call Superintendent Joe Phelan or Assistant Superintendent Tom Burnell at (845) 871-5520 with your questions, to schedule additional presentations or building tours, and/or to share any other input regarding the project.
The timing of the referendum on this proposed project is based on New York State law. The Board of Education is attempting to hold a Capital Project Referendum vote as soon as reasonably possible so that, if the referendum passes, we can start the months-long process of design work, obtaining State approval of the plans, and soliciting bids for the work, in an effort to begin construction by Summer 2018. The Board of Education believes that it is in the District's interest, as well as in the interest of the taxpayers and the students, to avoid delaying the community's consideration of the project, since delay is likely to result in cost increases and/or affect when construction can begin and be completed. We'd be happy to speak further to the timing issues at any of the informational sessions or one-on-one.
We hope that all members of the community who want to learn more about the proposed project before the referendum vote on December 6th can avail themselves of one or more of these opportunities to gain information and share their viewpoints. Thank you again for reaching out.
Do you predict anything yet on closing early ?
An early closing today, Thursday, Oct0ober 27 is highly unlikely, given the forecast for the rest of the day, i.e. the light snow we're getting now, that is not sticking to road surfaces, changing over to rain and temperatures rising. Thanks for asking.
What clubs will there be today Tuesday October 4th?
A comprehensive list of club meeting dates is not yet available. Please check with the high school office for a list of today's meetings.
What kind of food will u have at the ptso back to school block party on Friday?
We have no idea. Since this is a PTSO activity, you might want to direct your question directly to the PTSO at their website
What are the dates for the interact club meetings?
Only Sept 13 has been set thus far. Since Interact is a community group and not a school group, it would be best to direct future Interact questions directly to the Interact facebook page.
Is the whole community invited to the ptso back to school block party?
Which day will the ptso back to school block party happen and what time will it start and what time will it end?
The PTSO Block Party is scheduled for next Friday, Sept 16. Start and end times have not been published yet by the PTSO.
where do I find the school supply list for 9th grade?
According to Dr. Ed Davenport, RHS principal, "Teachers do not post supply lists. In general, a writing implement and a notebook are used for each class and nothing else more specialized. Parents can call the main office if they have more detailed questions."
Was Chancellor Livingston closed any day this week due to weather? Thank you,Chris
Yes, all district schools were closed on Monday, April 4 due to snow and associated winter driving conditions.
When is the next creative writing club meeting for the high school?
The Creative Writing Club meets on the third and fourth Wednesdays of the month.
Here is the link on the RHS webpage for information ablut all RHS Clubs: http://www.rhinebeckcsd.org/pagecontent-rhs.php?id=65
Club meetings are also listed in the daily bulletin: http://www.rhinebeckcsd.org/pagecontent-rhs.php?id=125
If you don't go to Rhinebeck schools can we still go to the septemeber block party?
The Back-to-School Block Party is an event that has been sponsored by the Rhinebeck PTSO. We do not have any information that it will be occurring this year or who will be invited. In past years, it has been a community event, which means that anyone can attend. Keep an eye out for information in the future.
Are there any plans to give the kids any extra days off to compensate for the snow days they haven't used?
(This information has been on the mainpage of the District website since Wed, March 2)
Due to the contractual length of the teacher work year, the following dates have been designated by the Board of Education as "No School" days IF no more emergency closing days are needed for the rest of the current school year:
Friday, March 18
Monday, March 28
Friday, April 22
Friday, April 29 (Superintendents Conference Day for instructional staff; no school for students; replaces the June 23 &
24 half-day Superintendents Conference Days schedule)
In the event that we have to use additional emergency closing days between now and the end of the school year, the dates listed above will revert to regular school days in the following order:
- Friday, March 18
- Monday, March 28
- Friday, April 22
- Friday, April 29 (returning to the June 23 & 24 half-day Superintendents Conference Days scheduled
For example, if we experience an emergency closing within the next several weeks, Friday, March 18 would again become a regular day of school for students and staff. If we experience a second emergency closing, Monday, March 28 would again become a regular day of school for students and staff. In the event of a third emergency closing day, Friday, April 22 would again become a regular day of school for students and staff. In the event of a fourth emergency closing day, Friday, April 29 would again become a regular day of school for students and staff, and instructional staff would report for the scheduled June 23 & 24 half-day Superintendents Conference Days.
Given the uncertainty of weather and related travel conditions, especially at this time of year, we strongly suggest not committing to plans that can't be changed for the "give back" emergency closing dates above, should we have to reschedule school on those days due to a need for emergency closing days through the rest of the current school year.
How do you sign up to recieve text messages regarding closings and delays? Fellow students have said it is on the website but I cannot find it. Some teachers were also inquiring about this.
Go to the District website, follow these links (District >>> Forms and Documents >>> Other Forms and Documents <<<School Messenger Setup Instructions) and follow the directions. Contact Donna Ellis if there are any questions or you need additional assistance.

We're currently working out a tentative plan for the four remaining unused emergency closing days, in conjunction with our employee units.

If/when approvd by the Board, we will communicate the information to parents through SchoolMessenger, through our website, and through our Twitter feed.

Profilbeton was started up on 01.08.1998 by Mr Wolfgang Hasch and August Oppermann Kiesgewinnungs- und Vertriebs-GmbH. The business activity essentially consisted of the production and sale of a patented special kerb for bus stops and tram stops. The managing partner, Dipl.-Ing. Wolfgang Hasch, was co-inventor of the kerbstone in 1991 together with employees of the Kasseler-Verkehrs-Gesellschaft, the KVG. Since then the product pallet has been augmented by ground indicating systems (Guiding Plate for the Blind) and elements for barrier-free crossings, all of which have also been patented.
Booming business meant that after only three years the space that had been rented for manufacturing and storage became too small. To keep up with rising demand at home and, increasingly, abroad (shipments had already been sent to The Netherlands, Switzerland, Great Britain, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Austria and the Czech Republic), a disused concrete roofing tile factory was bought from the Braas company in Borken, Hesse, in 2001. Once the factory had been comprehensively rebuilt and new installations fitted, production was moved to Borken in March 2002.
This location offers sufficient opportunity for further development over the long term, both in terms of expanding the current product line and for introducing new products.

Panasonic MC-CG301 Canister Vacuum Cleaner is small, lightweight, cheap, relatively strong and easy to use vacuum cleaner, very handy to have around. It doesn't have performance of bigger, stronger and much more expensive vacuums, but it does it's job.
Panasonic MC-CG301 Canister Vacuum Cleaner is small, lightweight, cheap, relatively strong and easy to use vacuum cleaner, very handy to have around. It doesn't have performance of bigger, stronger and much more expensive vacuums, but it does it's job.
Panasonic MC-CG301 Canister Vacuum Cleaner combines good performance with a small and compact design. This canister vacuum cleaner helps to keep the house clean from top to bottom by simply being around and being ready to be used as needed – in 'emergencies' (pet owners and small kids parents know what I mean) or according to cleaning schedule. The unit is very light – around 10 lbs (4.5kg – depending what one weigh) and comes equipped with a heavy-duty, decently strong 11 amp motor and a 12-inch-wide cleaning nozzle that allows for covering more surface area in less time.
Although cleaning nozzle is wide (12 inches, 305 mm), it is not powered, so on the carpets you will need more sweeps to get things clean – not a good news for pet owners.
If you really have need for deep cleaning of carpets and similar areas, you will need one strong, big, heavy and expensive vacuum cleaner for regular cleaning, for example on weekly basis. Panasonic MC-CG301 is great as second vacuum cleaner – very easy to use, decent performance, not loud (but not the quietest around!), good air filtering, easy to move around … and cheap! :o)
|In addition to suction power, this canister vacuum cleaner also provides a blower port. Attach the unit's 6-foot hose to the blower port and remove dust and dirt from hard-to-reach nooks and crannies or for blowing debris outdoors.
Vacuum cleaner is equipped with cord-rewind mechanism for 17-foot (5.2m) power cord.
|Soft wheels are gentle on floors and make turning the vacuum easy.
Hose is attached to the blower port.
Button on the left – a single touch activates the cord-rewind mechanism making storage fast, easy and convenient.
Button on the right – power on/off switch.
Don't call me lazy, but on vacuum cleaners, I like to have power on/off on the handle or that I can, at least, turn it off with my foot :o) It is little bit harder on this model to hit power off switch with first kick, but after few times, it is not hard to master :o)
Also, other attachments include a crevice tool and a 6-foot metal wand for sucking up dirt and crumbs from between couch cushions and other tight spots, as well as for extended reach back into corners and under couches, beds, and other furniture.
Panasonic MC-CG301 Canister Vacuum Cleaner – highly recommended for anybody needing small and lightweight second vacuum cleaner. For small homes with no fury pets, this vacuum cleaner is great 'entry level' vacuum cleaner.

Today's Gospel: Matthew 9:32-38
Today's Gospel reading is jam-packed with much to discuss. First, we see Jesus exorcising a demon; when removed, the mute man can speak. Sin has a way of keeping us "mute" when we should speak the truth. Yet, with Christ's grace, the mute can speak! The Pharisees, looking for a way to deny the truth of Jesus' power, perceive Him as garnering His power from the prince of demons. We know otherwise. We know the objective truth. The source of Christ's power is divine; for good can only come from the Supreme Good – God!
Second, we move to another story about the compassion of Jesus, where Jesus sees a problem, but also offers a solution. He recognizes that many need to hear the message of salvation. They need both physical and spiritual healing, and He knows that He will not be physically present, as man, for much longer. Therefore, Jesus asks for all of us to pray for "laborers for His harvest." Jesus is asking His disciples to pray for God to send additional disciples to help with the work of salvation of all souls.
How often do we deny the truth, because it does not fit our desired worldview? How often do we act like the Pharisees? Seek the truth, as God sees it!
Do you hear the call to become a disciple of Christ; to bring souls to Him? Might you be one of Jesus' "laborers for his harvest?"
Lord, help us to see the truth, as You see it. Give us the courage to speak up when we see that something is wrong. Help us to be beacons of Your light for the salvation of souls. We ask for this in Your Holy Name. – Amen.

How Automated Personalization Leads to Greater Retention
YoY email revenue
active customers
Facebook ROAS with CRM ads
Increasing Customer Retention with the Right Partner
After 33 years in business, City Beach, an Australian fashion outfitter, wanted a way to better engage the 1.4 million contacts in their database.
Tasked with improving an underperforming email channel and replacing legacy email system, City Beach decided to combine forces with Emarsys to address this challenge. Emarsys stood out as the ideal partner, as the platform was able to deliver personal customer interactions across email, mobile, social, SMS, and web.
From the start, City Beach and Emarsys engaged with each other to establish what the brand expected from the platform and partnership. They manually set goals and had a shared vision of the database as more than just a bunch of email addresses; that data represented real people that had expressed interest in the brand, product, and lifestyle City Beach represents.
Download the full success story now.
Scaling Personalized Interactions and Creating Better Customer Experiences
After partnering with Emarsys, City Beach significantly improved not only customer engagement through their email channel, but the brand was able to scale personalized interactions through mobile, social, SMS, and web channels as well.
By cleaning up their customer database, City Beach could actually build unified profiles for each customer. As a result, their undeliverable email rate dropped from 28% to 1%. Not only that, but they were able to create targeted campaigns that drive up revenue and retention and provide a better omnichannel customer experience.
With the Emarsys marketing platform, City Beach was able to:
Get their Existing Data into Shape
Emarsys offered City Beach a way to consolidate all their customer data in one place. Then using Smart Insight, City Beach cleaned up and organized the million contacts in their database.
Automate the Personal Connection
Emarsys gave City Beach all the 1:1 personalization tools they'd been looking for. Specifically, campaign automation and segmentation allowed City Beach to properly prioritize active customer segments.
Create Better CX with Integrated Must-Haves
With Emarsys tools like Web Extend and CRM Ads, City Beach optimized performance in these channels, connected their great in-store experience with their loyalty program, and more.
"City Beach integrated Emarsys and hasn't looked back. With a 100% increase in revenue from key channels, improved speed to market, deeper customer insights, and all with a decreased cost base, Emarsys is now the marketing team's ROI engine and one that's clearly designed and turned for modern communications."

By Amy Hansen, MPA Media Marketing Services Coordinator
In today's new media landscape and challenging economic times, companies are undoubtedly feeling pressure to justify how their media budget is allocated. With marketing budgets shrinking and new media platforms emerging every day, the decision to continue to invest in traditional media such as print is being challenged to prove its value and impact on sales. The time has come to evaluate your media mix to make certain you are successfully reaching your target audience, building brand awareness and effectively communicating the value of your products. Print advertising can help you do just that.
In recent times, some marketers have dismissed print as an "outdated" medium no longer relevant to today's marketing efforts, but market research suggests that print is not dead. In fact, data from Mediamark Research & Intelligence (MRI) shows magazine readership has actually risen 4.3 percent over the past five years. This same data also tells us that four out of five adults are currently reading magazines. These statistics tell us print is very much "alive and well" and reinforces the idea that print media is still a very viable advertising medium.
Another recent study by Yankelovich proved print ads are "much more likely" to make a positive impact on people than ads in digital media. Why? Readers of print media are more immersed in the content and tend to be more receptive to the publication's print ads. In today's world of email overload, a well-designed print ad can easily stand out, grab attention and cut through the overwhelming amount of online clutter we are exposed to on a daily basis.
Even online advertisers are starting to recognize the value and impact print can bring to their marketing initiatives. They are finding print is especially powerful when it is effectively combined with other media elements as part of an integrated marketing program. Online advertisers are catching on to print media's ability to target a specific audience where they "live." While online advertising can effectively reach large numbers of people, the audience reached is much less targeted then it is with print advertising.
In addition to targeting a specific audience, print advertising also has the power to boost web traffic and spur online purchasing as shown in studies by Marketing Evolution, JupiterResearch and the Online Publishers Association. Print is the number one driver of purchase intent with more than half of all readers acting on magazine ads, according to a study by Affinity Research. In fact, a study from BIGresearch in 2008 shows that magazines lead newer media channels in influencing customers to start an online search. A study by McPfeters & Company, Conde Nast and CBS Vision also revealed that print builds more brand awareness than other mediums. In the study, magazine ad recall was three times that of online banner ads, yet again reinforcing the power of print and the tremendous value it brings as part of your marketing approach.
I'm not advocating you abandon any of your online tactics, but rather combine multiple media platforms to reach more of your target audience and achieve greater marketing impact. The growing use of new media channels, combined with the power of print can move you closer to achieving sales and branding goals. Print can drive your customers and prospects to your website where you can convert clicks into sales. It can raise your brand awareness and push people to your Facebook and Twitter pages where you can connect deeper with your customers and communicate your brand and product values. The key to any successful marketing campaign is the ability to engage your target audience with compelling content that prompts them to take action. Print advertising, when used as part of an integrated, multichannel marketing strategy, can do just that by reaching your customers and prospects where they are to build your brand and drive your sales.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection now has an online I-94 application form
The I-94 application form has recently been requested online to accelerate the arrivals in America. This form is comparable to the ESTA which you can request on our website. The difference is that ESTA Applies only to travellers arriving by boat or airplane to America, and the I-94 form for travellers arriving from Mexico or Canada.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection now has an online I-94 application form
Travellers arriving at customs accessible ports can accelerate the process from now on using an online I-94 application form. This form is comparable to the ESTA which can be requested on our website.
Accelerated entry
Washington-U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have made an expansion of the I-94 online. This allows travellers online to request and pay for an I-94 form for arrivals at the customs gateways. Travellers can speed up arrivals in the US by issuing their personal information and travel information and meeting an online payment of $ 6 for an I-94 form up to seven days prior to their trip. (It may be possible to arrive at the entrance gates on arrival, fill in the form and pay.)
R. Gil Kerlikowske
'We continue to be involved in transforming international entry into this new online application system for an I-94 form that accelerates US access at the ports of customs while maintaining the highest level of security', said Commissioner R. Gil Kerlikowske. 'This automated functionality increases the efficiency of arriving in the US and reduces administrative tasks for CBP officials. Eventually, this leads to shorter queues for travellers who need an I-94 form.'
The I-94 form
Travellers will receive a provisional I-94 form after requesting this online and payment. The information requested on the I-94 application form is normally collected by a CBP official at the customs office. For example, name, date of birth, place of birth and nationality. But also passport data, Visa data (if applicable) and the Student and Exchange Visitor Programme (SEVIS) number (if applicable).
After the application
In order to complete the issue of the I-94 form, the traveller must report to the US customs gates within seven days after filing their application to submit biometrics (if applicable) and to undergo an interview with a CBP officer. Travellers must be prepared to provide proof of registration of their place of residence, work and/or travel plans when requested by a CBP officer. If the traveller does not report within the seven days after the application of the I-94 form, the provisional issue will expire and the traveller will have to apply and pay again. This will not be refunded once they have not reported this within the seven days, or when they are denied access to the US.
The secure website is easy to use and can be paid by credit card, debit card, direct debit or PayPal. The benefits of this process include; more efficient processing, reduced paper usage, a streamlined CBP inspection process for travellers and lower operating costs.
The I-94 form provides non-immigrants with proof that they have legitimately gained access to the US, which is required to verify foreign registration, immigration status and work permit. In May 2013, the CBP automated the I-94 form for travel by air or sea. The automated system allows CBP officers to create an I-94 Arrival Record within the primary and secondary inspection process systems during the inspection with the passenger list information. This eliminates the use of paper and manual data entry. The automation of the I-94 Arrival/Departure Record has greatly improved the passenger's arrival process, while the US government has saved about $ 34.5 million in the first two years.

The psychology of obedience is one which has been studied extensively by psychologists since the end of world war two. The revelation of the horrors of concentration camps induced many to gain a greater understanding of the reasons why people obey, even the most terrible commands.
The trial of Adolf Eichmann (directly responsible for the logistics of Hitler's 'Final Solution') shocked many. Beyond the 'evil' acts these men were far from 'monsters' but appeared as soft-spoken, mild mannered, polite individuals.
They claimed they were simply following orders
Milgram (1974, 1992) set out to examine whether there was something obedient about German culture. He was not satisfied with the explanation offered by Ashe's experiment and needed a control group to get a base rate. He never followed through with his original study as the outcome of the control study became the basis of his research.
Milgram (1963) Assumptions:
- People are socialised to respect the authority of the state
- If we enter an 'agentic state' we absolve ourselves of any responsibility for what happens.
Participants in study:
- Respondent to ad in newspaper
- 20-50 year old males
- Not attending university
- Range of socioeconomic levels
- One study included women (results the same as the men)
- Study on the effects of punishment on learning
- Arrived in pairs
- The learning (a confederate, part of the experiment)
- The teacher (the subject of the experiment
- Meet by
- The experimenter (man in lab coat – symbol of authority)
Teacher saw learner strapped to the chair and electrode paste and electrode attached (heard the experimenter say the paste was to prevent burns and blisters). Also heard the learner say he has a mild heart condition.
- Teacher taken into room with the shock generator
- Instructions:
- To administer progressively larger shocks every time the learner makes a mistake (15v for the 1st, 30 v for the next, and so on)
- Teacher given sample shock of 45 v (this is the only real shock given during the experiment)
- (Note the labels – up to xxx)
- Learner would give some correct and some incorrect pairings
- All responses of the learner were playbacks of recorded responses
- The teacher was agitated throughout, and would ask for breaks
- Experimenter responded with an order sequence of replies from mild to more direct replies:
'please continue'
'the experiment requires that you continue'
'it is absolutely essential that you continue'
'you have no other choice, you must go on'
- 110 'experts' (including 39 psychiatrists) on human behaviour asked to predict how far a 'normal' person would go
- Predicted the only 10% would exceed 180 V and no one would obey to the end
In a slightly modified experiment (could not see or hear learn, he could pound on the wall) almost everyone continued to 255 V and 65% until the end.
- Once committed people will continue even if the cost increases (Fox & Hoffman, 2002)
- Foot-in-the-door technique
- Immediacy effect:
- Less likely to give shock if seen the victim, therefore immediacy may help prevent dehumanisation of the victim
- The presence increases the likelihood of developing empathy
- Pregnant women report greater commitment to their pregnancy after seeing a scan with body images ( Lydon & Dunkel-Schetter, 1994)
- Easier to press a button and wipe out a whole village if distance from victim
- Use of drones in war?
- Proximity/immediacy of the authority figure
- Reduced to 20.5% if the experimenter was not in the room and instructions via phone
- Group pressure
- Presence of others who disobeyed reduced this to10%
- Legitimacy of the authority figure
- Initial experiment the experimenter wore a lab coat
- Moved to a run-down inner-city office
- Obedience dropped but only to 48%
Bushman (1984, 1988)
- Confederate dressed either in a uniform or shabby outfit
- Stood next to a person fumbling for change for a parking meter
- Stopped people passing by and 'ordered' them to give the person change for the meter
- Uniform – 70% obeyed (reasons given: told to)
- Shabby – 50% obeyed (reasons given: altruistic behvaiour)
By Country:
People tend to obey orders without thinking about:
- What they are being asked to do
- The consequences for other people
- But obedience has an important social use
- Such as workplace flights, hospitals, army
- Yet even then blind obedience can be dangerous
- Lesar, Briceland & Stien (1977) found that many medical errors can be attributed to nurses deferring to doctors, even when they have concerns.
- Remoteness of the victim and emotional distance
- Closeness and legitimacy of the authority figure
- Diffusion of responsibility: obedience increases when someone else does the dirty work
- Institutional authority
- The liberating effects of group influences
- No personal characteristics
Ecological validity
While some studies had provided support in real life,such as Sabini (1983) who found that when 56% of people asked for their seat on the tube gave it up. However, does it really explain something like the 'final solution' and those who carried it out?
The importance of the situation and the context
Yet we continue to speak about the 'person' and fail to really examine the situation and the context that makes blind obedience more likely.
Diffusion of responsibility
A key question asked by many participants concerned responsibility. Either explicit or implicit removal of personal responsibility played a key role.
Taught to obey
From childhood we learn the importance of 'doing what we are told', therefore it should not be a surprise than people will obey. More so if they think the person is in a position of authority.
Empathy clearly plays a role, as does distance but what about other emotions, fear, concern of consequences, ability to identify and relate to the other.
This is a fascinating topic, one which we could continue writing much more about. But we hope this information is interesting to you whether you are a student or just interested in learning more about the theory of psychology.

Recognition of Higher Education Programs
NAEYC currently serves as the early childhood Specialized Professional Accreditor (SPA) for programs pursuing accreditation from the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). NAEYC peer reviewers evaluate reports from early childhood baccalaureate and graduate degree programs to determine whether programs meet the NAEYC Professional Preparation Standards. If a program meets the standards and receives NAEYC Recognition, and if the institution goes on to be accredited by CAEP, the program earns a nationally known mark of high quality. Currently, there are over 220 institutions with NAEYC-recognized baccalaureate and graduate degree programs in 36 states/territories, and three international recognized programs.
As of February 1, 2020, NAEYC will discontinue SPA Program Review with National Recognition as part of the CAEP accreditation process. Programs can find information about what this means for their recognition status and expectations for their early childhood program's documentation for their EPP's site visit here.

Pierce County residents can help reduce roadway flooding by keeping storm drains free of leaves.
"Leaves can clog storm drains, resulting in roadway flooding when it rains," said Dennis Hanberg, Pierce County Planning and Public Works director. "Residents are encouraged to pick up yard waste and regularly check storm drains near their properties to make sure they aren't blocked by leaves."
Residents can take the following actions to keep storm drains clear:
- Put leaves and other yard debris in yard waste bins for pick up. Find transfer stations where you can drop off yard waste at www.piercecountywa.gov/yardwaste.
- If it can be done safely, remove leaves from storm drains with a rake.
- For Pierce County roadways: If a blockage can't be cleared, the roadway is flooding or a storm drain is on a busy road, call Pierce County Planning and Public Works at (253) 798-6000 or submit a Request for Action at www.piercecountywa.gov/rfa.
- Call 253-798-6000 if flooding is occurring along a stream, river or pond in unincorporated Pierce County.
Residents in cities and towns should contact their local public works department to report flooding or storm drain problems. Significant rainstorms may cause roadside storm drains and ditches to overflow and flood the roadway. River flooding may also affect roads. As the rain saturates the ground, there is also an increased risk of downed trees and landslides. Motorists should not drive through standing water, near downed trees or utility lines, or around road closure barricades.
Flooding is the most common disaster in the United States and Pierce County is not an exception. With four major rivers in the county, flooding is inevitable. While Pierce County spends between $3 million to $4 million annually on maintenance to levees along those rivers, flooding is not limited to communities and areas next to rivers.
Coastal flooding also occurs in Pierce County. This type of flooding is either wind-driven waves or a storm surge pushing water onto shore. Residents along the county's coast should secure items that are outside to prevent them from being moved during flooding and damaging property or hurting people.
Residents can prepare for flooding by learning the flood risk to their property. Pierce County can help with a free map of a property that explains flood risk. Also, flood insurance is available to all homeowners and renters in unincorporated Pierce County. Residents in unincorporated Pierce County receive a 40 percent discount on their flood insurance policies. Homeowner's insurance does not cover losses from flooding.
To learn about flood risk to a property and for information about preparing for flooding, visit piercecountywa.gov/winterwise.

He's been with us quite a numbers of times, and never fails to impress, and entertain whether on stage, or off!
Bob is so well known, and so well loved, that he probably needs very little introduction. His career has spanned over forty years, and all began in 1975… After spending 5 years as a floor singer around the many folk clubs in the North East of England as well as being a resident singer at the famous Davylamp Folk Club in Washington, Bob Fox met fellow North Easterner Tom McConville and his career as a professional folk singer/musician began.
There followed 35 years of fabulous music, and wonderful performances, both solo, and in fine collaborations…
Bob was enjoying great popularity as a solo artist and having much fun touring as a duo with Billy. The new "Pitmen Poets" were all set to take the scene by storm when a meeting with John Tams changed his life completely!
Bob was doing a solo gig at The Spanker Inn, Nether Heage (Tam's home village) 1st July 2011 and John arrived at the gig late and they chatted on long after the gig was over during which time John suggested that Bob would be an ideal "Songman" in the National Theatre's production of WarHorse in the West End.
3 months later Bob was rehearsing in London with the new cast and travelling up and down to the North to fulfill Pitme Poets gigs. He opened in the New London Theatre as "Songman" in October 2011!!
He's been busy in that amazing role for a number of years, and it's great to find time for him to come back to see us in Derby.

Reversi (Othello)
This is a very simple implementation of "Reversi" (a. k. a. "Othello") board game, which requires no registration. No, seriously, no registration whatsoever! Just introduce yourself by whatever name you like and get a "secret link", send it to a friend by e-mail/IM, and he/she can join the game.
I wrote it after tryig to find an online site to play reversi with some friends and getting overly frustrated by what I found. All of them (all of them!) required a painstaking registration process (3 pages, 20 fields each, all mandatory, e-mail confirmation required) just to discover that there's either no reversi, or I can't play it against a particular opponent, or I have to buy a premium account and whatnot.
Made with web.py and jQuery. No AI (PvP only). Some ideas were taken from http://davidbau.com/reversi/, which is a JavaScript reversi implementation where you can play against AI.
