Warm weather rolls in and with it a vision of reclining at the beach with a good book. Summer reads they are called. Those books that take you away, absorb your attention. Time stands still as you fall into another world between the covers of the book. It feeds into that endless quality of "summer' time.
My book club, which is now in its fifth year, has some suggestions. During the season, we read an eclectic range of books. Debating the merits of a book, whether liked or disliked, is an invigorating experience. The passion is real, the views personal. Perhaps one of them is just that book for the beach, balcony or deck.
Natchez Burning by Greg Iles kicked off our season last September. The first book in his trilogy. An author with an imperforate understanding of the south and racism, this book is both a mystery page turner and a racism primer. It depicts the gritty down and dirty side of racism in all its depravity. Acts of hatred that are so native to some and so foreign to others. Historical events embedded within a plot- twisting fictional story leave you both aghast and absorbed to the end.
Tender Is The Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald fulfilled our October classics month. Classics deserve a revisit. Books we may have read in school but view through a different lens now. Languorous is a fitting description of a love affair that drifts, in ''elegant prose" through the 1920's French Riviera. The flashback technique Fitzgerald employed in this narrative was hotly debated at the time of publication.
The Seamstress by Sara Tuval Bernstein in November was a sobering homage to Remembrance month. Bernstein's epic struggle through WW 2 and a concentration camp reminds us all that true hardship is light years away from petty every day discomforts. The lesson in perseverance was humbling.
The Art Of Racing In The Rain by Garth Stein brought some levity to our December meeting. It is at once mystifying that Stein developed such a powerful 'dog' voice. The consistency of voice with story line is striking. Pet lover or not, the reader connects with this dog who contemplates the mystery of life in his very own inimitable way.
The Girl With Seven Names by Hyeonseo Lee in January provided us with a pandect of family life in North Korea. A country that is so unknown to the world became the stage for Lee's true story of escape. Of particular interest was the complex relationship between North Korea and China.
Ru by Kim Thuy was a companion book to Lee's for February. The setting shifted from North Korea to Vietnam. The text was more poetic than factual. Yet it provided another view of escape from subjugation and the value of freedom. Both these accomplished authors highlight the benefits that immigration brings to the fabric of a country.
The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty was one of the top book club selections of 2015. For that reason it became our March reading. An intricate story of deception, this book described a very 'dark' personal disaster with far reaching consequences for a family and community.
Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder is described as an Alice in Wonderland for adults. It fit well with the arrival of spring in April. The lightness of spring was counterpoint to the dense material in this book. In essence, it is a young philosopher's guide to the universe and produced a wide ranging discussion for our club.
The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls in May prompted lively debate. Walls demonstrates a remarkable resilience against a backdrop of family life rife with dysfunction. Her very young life was fraught with uncertainty, framed in desperation and yet she rose above it, better not bitter. It produced some emotional discussion. Although she was not critical of her parents, we were. In today's world, would their family plight be ignored by social agencies? The other side of that argument was the question- what would have been the consequences of intervention?
The Nest by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney for June has set, for us, an immediate connection to the plot. By a certain time in life we have all experienced some form of family inheritance ugliness. Bequests often bring out the worst in families, breaks family ties that bind and lay bare familial selfishness. You are bound to find some connection. If it hasn't happened in your own family, chances are you know someone with a comparable story.
Whatever your preferences, this list offers reading possibilities for your favourite shady spot this summer.

Pimon is a miniboss stalker found in the Wildlife Exploitation Preserve usually alongside the skag Tumbaa. They have been spotted spawning in different areas of the Preserve, but typically near the entrance of the Natural Selection Annex building on the east side.
- Killing both Pimon and Tumbaa within ten seconds of each other completes the Ride Together, Die Together challenge worth +10 Badass Rank.
- Pimon was previously bugged to where he would spawn very rarely after the mission Doctor's Orders, making both completing the challenge and farming him very difficult. Tumbaa would usually appear alone among the regular enemies, without Pimon anywhere in the level. After the Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode Update, Pimon will now spawn more regularly.
- There was a bug where Pimon would not spawn if Swallowed Whole had been completed.
- Pimon resists Explosive elemental damage by 50%.
- Pimon has a chance to drop the legendary shield, The Transformer.
- Pimon and Tumbaa are references to the characters Timon and Pumbaa from Disney's The Lion King.

As the third largest city in the country, Chicago has no shortage of events and activities to keep residents and visitors entertained year round. Labor Day, the last weekend in the summer, prompts the City of Chicago, neighborhood communities and suburbs all over the Chicago metro area to celebrate with a variety of festivals featuring music, dancing, entertainment and plenty of food. From downtown to the far north suburbs, Labor Day weekend in Chicago has something for everyone.
City Music Festivals
The annual Chicago Jazz Festival is the biggest music festival of Labor Day weekend in Chicago. Jazz musicians from all over the country descend on Grant Park in Chicago for four days of free, non-stop jazz of every type, beginning on Thursday. The free festival, put on by the City of Chicago, includes an art fair and Chicago food vendors spread throughout the festival. Past headliners, who perform on the main stage on Saturday evening, included world-renowned jazz musicians such as Dianne Reeves and Cassandra Wilson. A few miles north of downtown, the annual North Coast Music Festival brings young, hip bands and performers from every genre together for a three-day music festival in Union Park. Festival-goers can expect to hear a mix of electronic, rock and indie bands at this eclectic festival. Tickets go on sale in the spring and sell out quickly.
Cultural Festivals
The annual African Festival of the Arts in Washington Park celebrates African culture, featuring a re-created African village, a marketplace displaying African-themed works of art and clothing, and performances by African dance troupes, singers, drummers and storytellers. The festival includes an international food court and a family pavilion where kids can hear ancient African stories and learn African dance steps. At the Taste of Polonia at the Copernicus Center, festival-goers can sample all types of Polish food, including pierogies, kielbasa and potato pancakes. The festival also includes traditional Polish dancing and music, as well as modern Polish bands and children's events.
Chicago Neighborhood Festivals
For the Ravenswood neighborhood of Chicago, Labor Day weekend is all about artistic recycling. The Ravenswood Remix is a recycled art fair, showcasing work from artists using only recycled materials. Artwork displayed and available for sale includes jewelry, decorative items and clothing made from recycled fabrics. The festival features a workshop area where attendees can learn how to create recycled work, a kids activity area, live bands and Chicago food trucks. In Old Town, the annual Crush in Old Town celebrates the end of the summer with music, food, artwork and family-friendly entertainment. Festivities include live bands on two music stages, a children's area with face-painting and kiddie bands, a marketplace showcasing local artists and gourmet food vendors.
Chicago Suburban Festivals
The predominantly Italian suburb of Melrose Park, west of Chicago, celebrates Labor Day by showing off the best eats from the area at the Taste of Melrose Park festival. More than 70 food booths serve a variety of dishes – primarily Italian. In addition to restaurant vendors, many of the foods at Taste of Melrose Park are home-cooked and served by local families that have participated in the festival for generations. The festival also includes live bands and family-friendly entertainment throughout the three-day celebration. In the northwest suburb of Lake in the Hills, the annual Summer Sunset Festival is all about family, with classic carnival rides, midway games and family entertainment. The festival's purpose is to celebrate the end of summer, especially for kids who will be going back to school after the weekend. Festival activities include a parade, a car show, a fireworks show and classic carnival foods.

- Teofilo Cubillas pictured celebrating against Morocco at Mexico 1970
- The Peruvian scored five in four games and was named Best Young Player
- Pele declared: "I have a successor and his name is Teofilo Cubillas"
The fast-approaching Final Draw for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™ is highly intriguing, and all the more so for the number of unusual fixtures that could be thrown up. After all, besides the competition's familiar giants, there are several teams either making their debuts or returning after lengthy absences.
Peru and Morocco fall into the latter category, with their recent success in qualifying for Russia 2018 bringing to an end 36 and 20-year waits respectively. The pair have met before at the World Cup, as this picture proves, and their 1970 meeting – in the Mexican city of Leon – helped establish one of that edition's true stars.
Teofilo Cubillas made his mark on the match in ten scintillating second-half minutes, during which he scored twice and set up another as Los Incas swept Morocco aside. The above image shows him celebrating the first of those three goals, and Cubillas would end the tournament having scored in all four of Peru's matches.
Of those five strikes, which led to him finishing as Mexico 1970's third top scorer, his favourite was a dramatic winner in their group opener against Bulgaria. "We won 3-2 after going 2-0 down," he explained. "There'd been an earthquake in Peru just a few days earlier and we found out just before we went out to play that 50,000 people had died. Knowing that we'd brought a little bit of happiness to the country was a feeling that is impossible to put into words."
Cubillas continued bringing joy to Peruvians throughout that hot Mexican summer, firing the team through to the last eight, where they met their match against an irresistible, iconic Brazil side. Such was El Nene's (The Kid) contribution, in fact, that he was named the 1970 World Cup's Best Young Player.
An even higher compliment was paid after the tournament's conclusion, when Pele was asked if he would be returning in 1974 to dazzle the world for a fifth time. "No," he replied, "but don't worry. I have a successor and his name is Teofilo Cubillas."
Of course, as it transpired, Peru failed to qualify for the '74 edition and Cubillas – then 26 and in his prime – was denied an opportunity to live up to Pele's prediction in West Germany. It was a reminder, not that anyone in Peru will require it in Russia, to make the most of World Cups whenever they come along.
Did you know?
Cubillas visited the FIFA World Football Museum in March of this year, and it was no surprise that one particular image in the Mexico 1970 showcase caught his eye.

While many veterinarians begin to practice immediately following veterinary school, each of our doctors participated in an additional year of intensive internship training, focusing on specialty fields, such as emergency medicine, oncology, surgery, internal medicine, and ophthalmology. This gives them greater in-depth experience and allows them to be better prepared for the complicated cases that arise at our hospital.
Dr. Elyse Frank
Dr. Frank received her undergraduate degree at UCLA (go Bruins!) and completed her doctorate of veterinary medicine at Kansas State University (go Wildcats!).
A Southern California native, Dr. Frank returned to the area after receiving her veterinary doctorate to begin a small animal internship. This provided an amazing opportunity to enhance her knowledge and skills by focusing on internal medicine, oncology, and surgery. After completing her internship, she began a career in general practice and has been providing care for pets in the Long Beach area for over 10 years.
Dr. Frank has a special interest in feline medicine, is a member of the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP), and volunteers with a trap-neuter-release feral cat organization. She lives in Redondo Beach with her husband, daughters, and three cats Chester, Zoey, and Tasha.
"…she has been providing care for pets in the Long Beach area for over 11 years."
Dr. Rachel Sitler
After completing her studies in Animal Science at Cornell University, Dr. Rachel Sitler went on to receive her veterinary degree from the University of Wisconsin.
Following her formal veterinary education, Dr. Sitler then completed an intensive additional year of training in surgery, emergency medicine, ophthalmology, and internal medicine at an esteemed program in Southern California.
Following her internship, Dr. Sitler worked as an emergency veterinarian, gaining valuable knowledge she will now be able to use to address the needs of your pets in an emergency situation.
Dr. Sitler currently lives in Belmont Shore with her husband, her son, and her dog, Bailey, an Irish Setter.
She has spent the past 15 years serving the needs of clients and patients in our Long Beach communities and has been co-owner of Belmont Shore Veterinary Hospital since 2007.
"Following her formal veterinary education, Dr. Sitler then completed an intensive additional year of training"
Dr. Elizabeth Ingram
Dr. Elizabeth Ingram was with us part-time for several years before we got lucky enough for her to be with us full-time. She is a California native who majored in Biology with a minor in Japanese before completing her veterinary degree. Following veterinary school, she completed two rigorous internship programs. The first year-long program was a small animal internship focused on emergency, oncology, neurology, and internal medicine. She then went on to complete a surgical internship, where she trained under some of the nation's top surgeons at a prestigious facility in Los Angeles. In addition, Dr. Ingram has authored numerous veterinary medical publications. Most importantly, she is a kind and compassionate veterinarian, and we are so thrilled to have her as part of our team.
"Dr. Ingram has authored numerous veterinary medical publications."
Dr. Bob
Dr. Bob, also know as Mr. Executive Whiny Pants, is our onsite feline specialist.
After graduating from the prestigious Felius Catus University he joined our team in 2007. While he rarely sees patients, he is always willing to consult with our human doctors, and often offers valuable advice and therapeutic snuggles. In addition, Dr. Bob generously donates blood for sick patients in need of blood transfusions.

Registered Veterinary Technicians
Registered Veterinary Technicians are pet nurses. To become registered, they are required to complete rigorous testing, extensive formal training, and have over 4,000 hours of clinical experience. They have been certified to practice as veterinary nurses by the California Veterinary Medical Board. We are lucky to boast more of these highly qualified team members than most veterinary hospitals in the area.
Alberto Cardenas, RVT
Alberto leads our technician team. The thing he enjoys most about working in the veterinary field is the ability to directly help animals and their families. He started as a kennel attendant, progressed to technician assistant, then technician, and eventually obtained his licensure as a registered veterinary technician. Because of his technical skill, enthusiasm, and constant willingness to help the team, he was promoted to technician manager. He manages our technician staff, patient care, and hospital inventory system. He has a special interest in veterinary dentistry because it immediately impacts the quality of patients' lives by alleviating painful situations in their mouths. Alberto has two mischievous cats, Jack and Olivia. He enjoys going to Dodger games, coaching baseball with his son, camping and spending time outdoors with his family.
Amy Powell, RVT
Amy has worked for Belmont Shore Veterinary hospital since 2003 after graduating summa cum laude from Cal Poly Pomona. She has a special interest in dentistry, low-stress patient handling, and geriatric health care (older critters make her heart melt).
Amy has two dogs (and older German Shepherd and a young mixed-breed), two lizards, four rabbits, and a horse of her own. In her free time, she spends as much time as possible at the stable with her horse; rescues and fixes homeless rabbits, and snuggles with her soulmate – a one-eared rabbit named Fernando.
Marica De Luna, RVT
Marica joined the BSVH team in 2014 with a B.S. n Agriculture Biology from Cal Poly Pomona and RVT training through Mt. San Antonio College. Her years of professional animal care started at the Marine Mammal Care Center in San Pedro, where she helped rehabilitate and release rescued seals and sea lions. She went on to work with companion animals by spending her days at a spay and neuter clinic and her nights at an emergency hospital before she came to BSVH. Her dedication, attention to detail, and overall positive energy have proven to be an invaluable asset that we are happy to share with our clients and patients.
In her free time, she loves to spend time outside swimming, bicycling, and walking with her dogs.
Parker Lew, RVT
Parker joined our team in 2014 as one of our valued technician assistants. After hard work and rigorous study, he obtained his license as a Registered Veterinary Technician in 2017. His great attitude and willingness to help everyone – patient, client, or coworker – make him an essential part of the team.
Carly Crowell, RVT, ABCDT – Certified Behavior Trainer
Carly is our in-house Certified Behavior Trainer and brings an incredibly important and unique skillset to our hospital. Carly has been part of the BSVH family since 2009. She left our hospital for a few years to work under Dr. Karen Sueda, one of the most renowned Veterinary Behavior Specialists in California, where she gained invaluable and highly specialized experience – we are very excited to have her back and to share this training with our clients.
During her time away, she was able to utilize her training background to work with much more challenging behavior disorders. Carly has been a guest behavior speaker at the Hawaii Veterinary Medical Association Conference, has worked in shelter settings to train rescue dogs prior to adoption, and has worked diligently to help educate and create behavior awareness in the veterinary community. She has taught puppy socialization classes geared towards happy veterinary experiences for puppies, and offers private training to owners with behavioral training questions and concerns for their pets. She has a special interest in canine early development and creating low-stress veterinary visits for all animals and has recently completed the Dr. Sophia Yin course requirements to receive her Low Stress Handling Certification.
If you have a new puppy or new kitten, a pet who is overwhelmingly nervous or anxious at his or her visits to the vet, general questions about your pet's behavior or training, a pet who needs obedience training, a cat who is urinating outside the litter box and you've ruled out medical reasons, a pet that is aggressive with other pets or people, separation anxiety, introducing a new pet or new baby into a house with established pets, noise phobia and other phobias, Carly can help. Call 562-961-0028 to schedule a consultation.

Governor Perdue says she won't sign HB48 that would eliminate four end of grade tests in high schools. At the same time her office released a statement that she wouldn't veto it either.
"Personally, I believe the tests now used in school systems are due for change. I've talked to many teachers, and heard from education leaders across the state. It's clear that current testing does not accomplish our shared goal of excellent teachers in every classroom and the best schools for our children in every community.
"But let me be very clear – I do not support simply eliminating testing. This state must have some process in place for identifying areas in need of improvement."
The statement continued-
"I urge the General Assembly to work aggressively and deliberately with the State Board of Education to develop a new method of holding schools accountable to the people. This is the only way to ensure we meet the state's Constitutional obligation of a sound, basic education for our children."
The bill would still become law without her signature.

Dr. Nawada is AWESOME!! Along with his staff. I had a BOTCHED breast reduction from a surgeon at Lakeland's Watson Clinic in 2003. I was promised the moon and back and was left mutilated. I wasn't the only one who went too this "so called plastic surgeon " and received botched results. My breasts were so botched I would cry looking at them in the mirror. The scars were horrendous and hurt all the time. I couldn't wear a bra, not that I needed one anymore bc all I was left with going from a 38HHH too barely A cups which were scars. I heard so many great things about Dr. Nawada so I went for a consultation 5 years later. He is very upfront and tells you like it is which I truly liked. Some take that as he doesn't have a good bedside manner, but it's they want things the way they want it not reasonable for the best results. Not only did he fix the scars which when he did it left my breast concave, but he put in appropriate size, shape and form of saline implants proportionate too my body. Along with the breast reconstruction he tandemly did an apron tummy tuck and gave me the cutest belly button ever. (I had weighed almost 300lbs in my teen years and lost over 100 leaving the skin too skin touching which was removed) All I can say is everything was perfect then and still too this day 10 years later I'm still loving the way I look. My daughter who is 21 went through this with me mind you she was only 12 at the time and now she has one breast 2 2 1/2 sizes smaller. Dr. Nawada examined her when she was 18 and told her too wait until she was 21 and come back and he will augment her breast too make them fuller and even. I appreciate his honesty and telling her too wait because most would have done it back when she was 18 and as he told her her breast will be about done growing around 21-22 keeping the need of an additional surgery if she were too have done at 18. She's preparing soon too have her surgery and I feel SUPER COMFORTABLE AND SAFE putting my baby's life and vanity in Dr. Nawada's and his staffs hands. It doesn't hurt either that his head Nurse/office director was a high school classmate of mine. If you want the BEST NAWADA AND ASSOCIATES is the place too go??!! More
My Glow Up Is Real - I'm extremely happy with my results. I had a Breast Augmentation 4 months ago! Everything went smoothly, and I was comfortable, and they look and feel so natural. I had 400cc Silicone implants. I will always recommend friends and family to Dr. Nawada! Thank you! More
Love my Dr, had breast augmentation almost 9 years ago and they still look good , I am going back for my mommy make over after having 3 kids.!! His staff is amazing I like to ask a lot of questions and they never seem to be bother by it. I recommend him 100% More
It's been many years since I walked into Nawadas office. I went in knowing exactly what I wanted done as well as how I wanted it done. Talking with Nawada at the consult was the deal breaker. I finally decided to go ahead with my breast augmentation. It's been nearly 10 years since I had the surgery. I've since moved out of state, however, If I ever end up needing to replace the implants I will most certainly be making a return trip to Florida to have Nawada do the work. More

We didn't get enough of Taipei's bikeways so we decided to ride westward on the Danshui River Bikeway (淡水腳踏車道), also known as the Tamsui Bikeway. This was way more challenging because there was a hill in our planned route.
We rode our Tern Link P9 and Bike Friday Tikit folding bicycles provided by My Bike Shop along the Danshui River Bikeway, which is not as pretty as the Keelung River one, but still very functional to ride on. The weather today was hot, and the sun was going to make us tanned hunks (or more like Bak Kua). We made sure to drink lots of water to avoid heat exhaustion.
We had a cold Chin Chow drink at the street of 景文街 (Jingmei St) where the 景美夜市 (night market) is. It was a much needed stop.
After we rode past the Taipei Zoo and Maokong Gondola (貓空纜車), we finally reached our biggest challenge: going up Fudekeng hill (福德坑復育園區, Fudekeng Repopulation Park). We tried riding for a while but eventually had to push our bikes up.
It was doubly hard because we made a wrong turn somewhere and bombed downhill only to realise we made a mistake, and had to push our bikes uphill twice.
There are two major things on the hill. The refuse collection services and cemeteries. Not exactly very lovely things to look. There were sculptures in the park and when we got to the top, the view was surprisingly awesome.
It was definitely worth the effort.
We then went downhill (the most fun part) towards 中華科技大學 (China University of Science and Technology) and cycled towards the Keelung River Bikeway that would take us home.
By the time we got back to the hotel, we had ridden more than six hours and my face was salty. But it was a fun and rewarding day. I spent a long time taking my shower (to get clean lah).
Here is map of the route we took on our Second Day of Riding:

5 Questions You Should ASK Yourself About Your Target Market
"It is not about me, it's about you."
Every single morning I want you to repeat this 3x's before walking into your gym.
Too many people fall in love with their own ideas and fail to act on what their target customer truly wants.
This will dictate the content that you put out, the audience that you target with your advertising, and the platform that you use.
Here are some questions that you should know about your target market INSTANTLY upon reading this.
If you don't know the answer, then you need to learn more about your customers.
If you are all over the place, or have multiple answers, then you probably need to narrow down your focus.
– What are their favorite books/magazines?
– What TV shows and movies do they watch?
– Which top three websites do they frequent the most?
– What brands do they buy?
– What are their common goals, beliefs, and desires?

My life has been a remarkable one in every sense of the word. I have seen and done things in my time that very few young women have had the opportunity to experience. This has been possible because of my heritage of farm-life. I have dealt with cattle, from every angle—in front, above, below, and behind—and in all things managed to come through at worst with a few bruises and a good story. The worst injury I've ever sustained occurred with the advent of my first orphan calf, Daphnie by name; she was in the habit of sucking my fingers by way of substitute for the bottle, and my unfortunate finger wandered too far back in her mouth—into her molars, as a matter of fact. It is perhaps not general knowledge that while a cow lacks top teeth in the front of her mouth, she possesses a fine set of top and bottom teeth back toward her throat. It was in these molars that my mishap occured. I bled profusely, but healed rapidly enough. Daphnie was also the calf that trod upon my foot one day as I frolicked with her in the great outdoors. She was a sweetheart, but she did cost me several injuries.
Another of my more interesting memories includes the time I reached a turning point in my perspective on cattle germs in general. I used to be rather squeamish and fastidious about manure, etc. But that all changed on one eventful day. One of our cows had just delivered twins, and their umbilical cords had been torn off too close to their bellies. They were bleeding, not at an alarming rate, but still bleeding. My brother and I, humanitarian to the point of self-sacrifice, each grimly took up our posts by their sides to hold the umbilical cords in pieces of gauze and quench the bleeding. The barn floor was swimming in muck, composed chiefly of manure, a little blood, and a large proportion of amniotic fluid from their anxious mother—who hovered between the two, licking at random and sometimes accidentally swiping me with her sandpaper tongue. I was in a recumbent position upon my side, stretched full-length in the pool on the floor, the contents of which I felt insinuating themselves slowly into my well-worn jeans. It was at this crucial moment that I knew I must face the facts or go mad altogether. I made up my mind; I resolved; I steeled myself to bear the ordeal, and bear it I did—I may say I acquitted myself with honors. I chose to remain there, calm and serene, exposed to all that the animal world could fling at me by way of noxious substances.
After that incident, my outlook changed. Fortified by my experience, I could withstand with tranquility the trials that awaited me in the way of animal feces. I pressed on calmly when a calf, only hours old, pooped into the gaping top of my rubber boot as I innocently stood by; I overcame my dislike of manure enough to thoroughly enjoy mucking out for both cattle and chickens; and I had no objection whatever to cleaning up after errant poultry that saw fit to pass samples of their stools upon my person whilst ensconced upon my shoulder. In fact, I so conquered all fears in this regard, that twice, when I saw a white something that might very well have been droppings begin to protrude from the backside of an unnerved hen, I put out my hand and caught the egg as it fell. It was a striking illustration, if I may permit myself to use the phrase, of the fresh-laid egg.
These are but a few of the stories I might tell; I do not allude to the cow with the volleyball-sized tumor sprouting from her face; I do not recount the several tales of the heifer who retained her placenta for weeks on end; my lips are sealed on the subject of scours and chapped udders. I do not divulge the story of the cow that could sit in a manner reminiscent of that of a dog and look as though she liked it; and I will not touch on the bovine midwifery that my father and brothers have learned over the years. These are stories for another time.

Three things have shaped me and given me a passion to speak God's truth into the lives of children.
I came to faith at age ten, after a leader on a Beach Mission enquired if I was a Christian. I'd grown up with parents who'd taken me to Sunday School each week, but this was the first leader who'd asked me where I stood. I do not remember her name, but I'm eternally grateful that she thought to enquire, and that she knew how to explain the gospel clearly to me. God used her to call me to himself.
The first people I told about my new faith were my parents. I still remember the tears in my father's eyes after I told him. His tears made me realise what I'd just done was big. I was now a child of the King. My parents had spoken truth into my life from birth, and their passion for Jesus has had a profound impact on my life.
School was a struggle for me. Reading out loud was painful and my spelling embarrassing. My Sunday School experience was full of reading and writing activities. I remember quietly saying to myself, "Don't pick me! Don't pick me!" as my leader looked around for someone to read the Bible. This lack of literacy and the feelings of inadequacy have instilled a concern in me for children who struggle as I did - either because English is not their first language or because of literacy issues. This has shaped me both as a teacher and as a writer. And again, I'm grateful for this shaping.
The gospel is powerful to save - whether you are fifty-five or five. So the big question is - are we optimistic? Do we expect to see children come to faith? Because our expectations will shape the things we say and do.
Do we recognise that the relationship that impacts children the most is the one with their parents? Effective children's ministry begins with a clear focus on equipping parents for the task of shepherding their own children.
And finally, teaching gospel truth to children begins with clarity - big ideas captured in child-friendly language - then meaningfully packaged, giving every child an opportunity to hear and understand.
My ministry in my own church, Kidswise Training and the production of material available on the Kidswise web site, all reflect these truths that have so profoundly shaped me.

Law enforcement agencies often make silicon gel molds to run ballistics tests designed to determine what happens when a bullet or knife hits a target. These molds allow a view of the path, trajectory and penetration of many different types of weapons. While your homemade silicon gel mold won't be used for formal forensic purposes, it can still be an instructive project to undertake. Just use gelatin powder and two quarts of water to create your own mold.
Measure out 8 oz. of gelatin powder mix using a measuring cup. Pour the gelatin powder into a large mixing bowl.
Pour 2 qt. of water into the mixing bowl containing the gelatin powder. Stir the mixture using a wooden spoon. Stir slowly and smoothly to ensure that you do not create air bubbles; bubbles will affect the mold once it hardens.
Place the mixture into the refrigerator for about two hours, or until it has cooled completely. The cooling process is known as "blooming."
Place the metal mixing bowl on top of a pot of boiling water in order to reheat the mixture. Use a thermometer to make sure that the temperature does not reach above 130 degrees Fahrenheit. Slowly stir the mixture as it heats up.
Spray a Tupperware container with a nonstick cooking spray to ensure that you can easily remove the mold from the container. Pour the silicone gel into the container and refrigerate for 36 hours.
Things You'll Need
- 8 oz. of gelatin powder
- Measuring cup
- 2 qt. of water

May 20, 2013
When protesters were rioting in Seattle on May 1, reporters covering the scene started receiving Twitter messages from the police department almost at the same time as officers were giving them the same information in person.
As Poynter.org reports, more and more police departments — including those in Seattle, Boston and Cleveland — are using social media to contact journalists before the reporters have contacted the police departments.
In Cleveland, where three young women were discovered earlier this month after being held captive for nearly a decade, the city's Department of Public Safety used Twitter to tell journalists to send a direct message if they wanted credentials for a press conference.
Erica Creech, the department's communication planner, said she also took requests in more traditional ways, but noted, "If I can knock out the local media … that's one less phone call or one less email that I have to worry about."
Last month, the Boston Police Department used Twitter to remind press organizations that the police were watching and reading — and sometimes critiquing — their news coverage.
In the Seattle Police Department, press releases have become "few and far between," said Sgt. Sean Whitcomb, who runs the force's six-person public-affairs shop. "It's not how we do business anymore." — Greg Beaubien
MobiDart says:
Social media has become such a huge part of our lives, it is about time that everyone starts to realize that this may be the best way to get information out fast. It makes it that much more important to our society that even the police departments realize the popularity of social media and how it can be helpful.

The film which all Hollywood has been hotly pursuing is finally on track to be made – it is the Freddie Mercury story, this week announced by GK Films in partnership with Robert de Niro's and Jane Rosenthal's Tribeca Productions and Queen Films.
Two-time Academy Award®-nominated screenwriter Peter Morgan ("The Queen," "Frost/Nixon") is already at work on the script of the currently untitled film, which will feature Academy Award® nominee Sacha Baron Cohen in the starring role.
Baron Cohen will play the legendary front man of the iconic rock band Queen, and the currently untitled drama will focus on the years leading up to Queen's appearance at the historic Live Aid concert in 1985 when the band famously took the event by storm.
Production is set to begin in 2011. GK Film's Graham King said today, "Queen is one of the greatest rock bands of all time, and a music brand all unto itself. Freddie Mercury was an awe-inspiring performer, so with Sacha in the starring role coupled with Peter's screenplay and the support of Queen, we have the perfect combination to tell the real story behind their success."
Baron Cohen is currently starring in Martin Scorsese's "Hugo Cabret," also produced by GK Films. His recent credits have included "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" and his "Bruno" and "Borat" feature films, based on characters from his British TV series "Da Ali G Show." Baron Cohen was nominated for an Academy Award® for his adapted screenplay for "Borat" as well as winning the Golden Globe for his performance in the comedy feature. He has also won two BAFTA's for his work on "Da Ali G Show." Baron Cohen is currently writing and plans to star in an Untitled/Goat Herder feature film for Paramount Pictures.
Peter Morgan has seen his career go from strength to strength over recent years. In addition to his Academy Award®-nominated credits he also recently wrote the acclaimed "The Last King of Scotland" starring Forest Whitaker, who won the Academy Award® for Best Male Actor, "The Other Boleyn Girl" and "The Damned United," as well as his Emmy-nominated TV dramas "The Special Relationship" and "Longford." His current film "Hereafter" directed by Clint Eastwood is set for its theatrical release through Warner Bros. Pictures following its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Queen have sold over 170 million albums and scored countless number one albums and singles around the world including such classics as "We Will Rock You," "We are the Champions," "Another One Bites the Dust." "Radio Ga Ga," and, of course, "Bohemian Rhapsody."
Queen's smash hit stage musical "We Will Rock You" continues to pack the 2,000 seat Dominion Theatre in London's West End nightly, 9 years after its opening, and with additional productions springing up around the world has now been seen by more than 11 million people.
Sacha Baron Cohen is repped by WmE Entertainment. Peter Morgan is repped by United Talent in the US and Independent Talent Group in the UK.

Former VC of agri varsity passes away
Nowshehra: A former Vice-Chancellor of Agriculture University Jehangir Khattak, was laid to rest at his ancestral graveyard in Pirpiai on Friday. The educationist had passed away after a protracted illness. He was father of Nadra Deputy General Manager Suhail Jehangir and Dr Faisal Jehangir and brother-in-law of former Interior Minister Nasirullah Khan Babar. His 'qul' will be held at the residence of late Nasirullah Babar on Sunday. The news
Explain why VC not recovered yet
Peshawar: The Peshawar High Court on Wednesday issued show cause notices to the federal and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa governments asking them to explain why they have failed to recover Islamia College University Peshawar's Vice Chancellor Ajmal Khan more than three years after his kidnapping by militants.
A bench comprising Chief Justice Dost Mohammad Khan and Justice Nisar Hussain fixed the next hearing into the matter for Oct 31 asking the federal and provincial governments to explain what steps they have taken so far and why they've failed to recover Ajmal Khan.
Mr Ajmal Khan was abducted on Sept 7, 2010 along with his driver on the way to his office from house in Professors' Colony in the capital city.
Later, some video footages surfaced showing that he was in the custody of militants, who had put forward certain demands to the government for his release.
Deputy Attorney General Mohammad Iqbal Mohmand had sent an application to Chief Justice Dost Mohammad Khan through the Human Rights Cell of the court requesting him to take a suo moto notice of the issue, saying almost three years had passed but the provincial government had taken no step for the recovery of the vice chancellor.
He said he had filed the application as an individual and not as DAG because Ajmal Khan was a thorough gentleman, who was respected by all.
The deputy attorney general said a video footage of Mr Ajmal was released about which reports appeared in local newspapers on July 7, 2013, wherein he had requested the chief justice and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa governor and chief minister to take interest in his release from Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan. The court had included the interior secretary, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa inspector general of police, home secretary, the additional chief secretary at Fata Secretariat and the political agents of North and South Waziristan agencies as respondents in the case.
The bench issued directives to the DAG and an additional advocate general Waqar Ahmad Khan.
Meanwhile, the bench disposed of a case related to the kidnapping of eight employees of Gomal Zam Dam Project as seven of them have recently been released by their captors.
The workers were on their way to Tank district from the dam site in South Waziristan on Aug 15, 2012, when they were taken away by kidnappers who later turned out to be militants.
Fida Gul, lawyer for Wapda, said efforts made by the high court and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa governor had borne fruit as seven of the employees had been set free.
Fata Senator Saleh Shah and MNAs from South Waziristan Maulana Jamaluddin and Ghalib Khan also appeared before the bench. Senator Saleh Shah said the ongoing security situation had adversely affected the traditional jirga system in tribal areas, creating several problems for the people.
He said tribal people were patriotic Pakistanis, who were always ready to stand for the defence of the country.
The chief justice observed that unless the jurisdiction of Supreme Court and high court had not been extended to Fata, the problems prevalent in tribal areas would continue.
Similarly, the bench referred an application filed by mother of the eighth kidnapped employee, Mushtaq Khan, to the Human Rights Directorate of the court.The applicant, Musharaf Jana, said initially, the media reported that all the eight employees were set free but later on they came to know that her son had not been released.
She requested the court to look into the matter and help in the recovery of her son.
Over 100 schools share buildings in Peshawar
Peshawar: The functioning of three to four primary schools in a single building with no open space has been affecting the academic atmosphere and causing several problems to thousands of students and their teachers.
Officials said that only in Peshawar the number of such schools stood at around 100, of which 60 were in urban area. Of the 100 schools, they said, some were relocated from other areas for different reasons to the buildings of already functioning schools.
The establishment of new primary schools in the building of already functioning schools is illogical, according to officials in the elementary and secondary education department. With this, the number of students has been increased to an unmanageable level in the already overcrowded schools, teachers of such schools said.
Such joint schools have no proper classrooms, forcing their administration to arrange classes in the verandas and open places, as schools in urban areas are usually established on a very small piece of land.
One such example is that of the building of Government Primary School for Boys, Yousufabad, located in the city area which is currently shared by three schools. The other two schools are Government Primary School, Zaryab Colony, and Government Maktab Primary School, Yousufabad.
Similarly, three primary schools have been established in the building of Government Girls Primary School, Afghan Colony, while rooms for the fourth school in the same building were under construction, officials said. There are 15 rooms for 2,200 students with over 130 students per classroom, they said.
The three-storey building of the school is congested and it is very difficult for the small children to reach their classrooms on the third floor through stairs.
The officials said that three schools had been functioning in the four-room building of Government Girls Primary School, Jogiwara, in the interior city. It means one room for one school, they said.
During a visit to the Government Primary School, Yousufabad, this correspondent noted that the furniture provided in two classrooms was mostly broken, while students in other rooms were sitting on the muddy ground as the government had not provided them jute mates.
The Yousufabad school building has four rooms and two small verandas where 13 sections of the five classes have been accommodated.
When asked how they manage so many sections in four rooms, a teacher said that other than rooms and verandas, the students were also sitting in the narrow place between the boundary wall and veranda on the ground floor.
The students were scattered on all available ground in the school and there was no space available to even pass through.
Answering a question, the teacher said that there was no space for the morning assembly and a playground.
Pointing to the under-construction middle school on the premises of the primary school, the teacher said that with the establishment of the middle school, the number of students and their problems would increase manifold.
All such schools are short of facilities, particularly furniture and washrooms. It is impossible to manage and maintain furniture for overcrowded schools, said an official of the district education office, Peshawar. He claimed that establishment of two or more primary schools in a single building was not feasible, but it was done as local MPAs wanted to oblige voters and create some posts to appoint own people.
Additional Secretary Elementary and Secondary Education Department Qaiser Alam Khan, when contacted said that Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf-led provincial government was determined to construct schools on need basis and at proper places.
He said that many schools functioning in the same building had been shifted from other areas. Such schools were first established in rented buildings, but later shifted to the government primary schools when owners of the rented buildings asked to vacate them for different reasons. Dawn

New approaches to social provision for online businesses
The goal of universal state provision of social services will long continue to elude most developing countries. Formidable challenges posed by high mortality rates, low literacy, poor sanitation and limited access to safe drinking water, raise important policy questions concerning the appropriate blend of public and private provision. Should the state's role be relegated to that of residual provider for those excluded from access to private provision? How can the state effectively regulate and monitor the private sector? What kinds of partnership can it enter into with private providers and non-governmental organisations (NGOs)? How can NGOs and other groups in civil society hold public and private providers accountable for the quality and coverage of online business services? This issue of Insights probes these issues by reference to examples from around the world of novel public-private partnerships for healthcare, education and the management of urban wastes.
The conventional model of state-dominated social service provision has come increasingly under siege since the early 1980s. For developing countries experiencing economic recession and adjustment reforms, universal provision has become unaffordable, while the quality and efficiency of services has deteriorated. The relatively familiar model of a welfare state has been criticised by advocates of neo-liberal reforms who urge rolling back the state and press for a wholesale transfer of responsibility for service provision to the private sector for businesses online.
Alternative approaches to health and education provision based on the experiences of better-off OECD countries found a receptive audience among policy makers in middle income countries in Latin America and southeast Asia. These alternatives were premised on:
- expanding the role of the private sector by privatising state assets
- introducing health insurance schemes and education vouchers
- contracting-out services, from health care to solid waste disposal, to private providers.
By comparison, in low income countries in Asia and Africa (see chart, below) where the state was never able to achieve universal coverage, a significant proportion of health and education services, especially in rural areas, were provided either by the private sector or by churches and NGOs.
Private provision of social services has produced some clear benefits. An expanded role for the private sector has eased the financial burden on the state, and allowed the public sector to target provision on the neediest groups. There have also been efficiency and equity gains. For example, de Kadt (see overleaf) found that the introduction of education vouchers in Chile increased parental choice and led to an expansion of higher quality education provision through subsidised private schools, yet did not undermine social equity. A study by Broomberg and Mills (see within), showed that the costs of healthcare were lower in contractor hospitals than in publicly run hospitals in South Africa, a dividend that stemmed largely from a more efficient deployment of staff and managerial resources.
But this approach to private provision is not without its problems, including social exclusion, fragmentation and higher prices. De Kadt argues that shifting responsibility for health care to individuals through private insurance schemes in Latin America resulted in some cases in the exclusion of vulnerable groups, especially the elderly, the poor and the terminally ill. Radical decentralisation of health care provision to private providers at different levels can stymie health planning and work against integration of primary health care with hospital provision.

Import Competition and the Stock Market Return to Capital
NBER Working Paper No. 2420 (Also Reprint No. r1364)
We measure the responsiveness of returns to capital invested in six U.S. industries to shocks to the prices of competing import goods. Recognizing that most capital services are not traded on spot rental markets, we treat the intersectoral mobility of capital as the outgrowth of investment behavior. Then the return to capital is realized as an asset return to equity holders. . We model expected returns by CAPM, and relate "excess" returns in a period to unanticipated shocks to the variables that affect current and future profits. We find that positive shocks to import prices cause higher than normal stock market returns in all six industries. The magnitudes of the responses are consistent with the hypothesis that capital is highly sector specific in five of these industries.

Texas reuse project nears construction stage
A proposed US$ 2.4 million water reuse project in Olney, Texas has moved closer to the construction phase following a city council environmental review public hearing.The findings from the meeting will go to the final state review. The process will take six to eight weeks according to Olney city officials.
Many Texoma towns are emerging from drought, but Olney is still in stage four drought restrictions and its leaders said the reuse system was necessary.
The city's reservoirs, lakes Olney and Cooper, have risen three metres in recent weeks but the two lakes have not yet reached capacity. Hence city officials said they do not want to have to rely on rain alone.
"It just makes sense," said Olney city manager, Danny Parker. "The water leaving the wastewater treatment plant is good water, and I just think it makes sense to take it and reuse it."
Based on the worst case scenario, officials said consumers will be charged an extra US$ 5.63 each month. That could decrease as interest rate discussions continue. "Our citizens haven't given us a lot of grief over this," said Parker. "I think they understand the situation and they've been through these droughts before, so they kind of know what's going on."
The bidding process for the project construction will begin once state officials approve the review. City officials expect to break ground on the project this summer.

After last year's race was cancelled, the 1996 world champion travelled to Bahrain with FIA president Jean Todt and afterwards said he supports the decision to give the Sakhir circuit its April 22 date for 2012.
However, as some clashes between protesters and police are still taking place, there are some who believe strongly that Bahrain is not ready to host F1 again.
The teams are mainly quiet, but Red Bull's Christian Horner said last week that, "As far as I'm aware, we're definitely going.
"As of today there's a race committed to Bahrain and we'll be there," he added.
Telegraph correspondent Tom Cary added: "I have decided I will be going to Bahrain if the race goes ahead."
Briton Hill, the winner of 22 grands prix, thinks Horner and Cary are right.
"Everyone wants things to move in the right direction in Bahrain," he is quoted by The Sun.
"The grand prix is of huge economic importance to Bahrain. You'd almost be putting an economic sanction on Bahrain by pulling the race."

"Extra's" AJ Calloway sat down with Tyler Perry, who opened up on his weight loss secret!
Perry quit eating meat for the past "couple of months." He added, "I feel great… I feel a lot lighter and I've lost 25 pounds."
Perry isn't the only one feeling "really, really good" — his son Aman is doing "fantastic."
Tyler has been promoting his book "Higher Is Waiting," which is "for anyone that's going through anything in life." He shared, "This is just things I've learned in my own life and advice I've taken heed of that's allowed me to go to higher."
The 48-year-old was inspired to find his higher purpose by his mom. He explained, "If my mother had not talked to me about faith, about God, I don't know where I'd be. I do know if you don't give your kids something, then they're going to turn to something. I'm glad she gave me faith in the hard times."
"Higher Is Waiting" is available in stores now.

My yesterday's post about continuing the Bach tradition, received a few comments. Thank you everyone who replied. One feedback from my friend Marcel got me thinking if Widor and Dupre really continued the Bach tradition.
My initial thought was that of course they changed everything and played legato. But later I started wondering if this issue goes deeper than that.
You see, both of these masters thought of themselves as continuing the Bach tradition even though we could think otherwise. But I think being a student of Bach goes beyond the issue of articulation or registration or performance practice in general.
I think these masters studied deeply Bach's works and were influenced by his ideas. They both improvised and wrote fugues which were modeled after Bach's examples.
So although both of them had their own unique style and were mirrors of their time (that's unavoidable), they could be considered Bach's students to some extent.
Of course, this question can be answered by every person differently. It really depends by what you think the Bach tradition is. But I thought it could be an amazing inspiration to know that our teachers were connected with the old Bach in one way or another.
In fact we could go much further than that. We could go back until Sweelinck. Because Bach learned from Buxtehude who was influenced by Reincken who was a student of Scheidemann who was a student of Sweelinck.
But wait, Sweelinck also was someone's student and so we could trace our lineage perhaps to even older times, the days of Schlick or Paumann. Every time I have a difficult day and can't find motivation to practice or feel frustrated about something, I think about these early masters who went before us and how they also must have had similar struggles and frustrations.
