Self Formation of self concept Self-concept is the image that we have of ourselves. This image Is formed in a number of ways, but is particularly influenced by our interactions with important people in our lives. Definitions * "Self-concept Is our perception or Image of our abilities and our uniqueness. At first one's self-concept is very general and changeable... As we grow older, these self- perceptions become much more organized, detailed, and specific. " (Pastorals & Doyle-portfolio, 2013) * "A self-concept is a collection of beliefs about one's own nature, unique qualities, ND typical behavior.
Your self-concept Is your mental picture of yourself. It Is a collection of self-perceptions. For example, a self-concept might include such beliefs as 'l am easygoing' or 'l am pretty or 'l am hardworking. '" (Whiten, Dunn, & Hammer, 2012) ; "The Individual self consists of attributes and personality traits that differentiate us from other individuals (for example, 'introverted'). The relational self is defined by our relationships with significant others (for example, 'sister'). Finally, the collective self reflects our membership in social groups (for example, 'British'). (Crisp, R. J. & Turner. R. N.. 2007) * One's self-concept (also called self-construction, self-identity or self-perspective) Is a collection of beliefs about oneself that Includes elements such as academic performance, gender roles and sexuality, racial identity, and many others. Generally, self-concept embodies the answer to "Who am l? " * Self-concept is distinguishable from self-awareness, which refers to the extent to which self-knowledge is clearly defined, consistent and currently applicable to one's attitudes and dispositions.
Self- concept Is made up of one's self-schemas. Additionally, self-concept Interacts tit self-esteem, self-knowledge, and social self to form the self. Self-esteem refers to the evaluation or comparison of one's self-concept and self-schemas to form one's overall self-worth. * One's self-concept is made up of self-schemas, their past, present and future selves. * The self-concept includes past, present and future selves. Future or possible selves represent individuals' ideas of what they might become, what they would like to become, or what they are afraid of becoming.
These different selves correspond to one's hopes, fears, standards, goals, and threats for their present elves. Possible selves may function as incentives for future behavior and also provide an evaluative and Interpretive context for the current view of self that Is used when one self-evaluates, contributing to one's self-esteem. Self-esteem and self- opinionated aspect to one's self (e. G. , I feel good about the fact that I am a fast runner), whereas self-concept is more of a cognitive or descriptive component to one's self (e. G. , I am a fast runner).
This distinction is important to note, as self- concept and self-esteem closely interact to form an overall view of the self. The perception which people have about their past or future selves is related to the perception of their current self. The temporal self-appraisal theory argues that people have a tendency to maintain a positive evaluation of the current self by distancing their self-concepts from their negative selves and paying more attention to their positive selves. In addition, people have a tendency to perceive the past self less favorably (e. . , I'm better than I used to be) and the future self more positively (e. G. , I will be better than I am now). Components of Self-concept Like many topics within psychology, a number of theorists have proposed different ways of thinking about self-concept. According to a theory known as social identity theory, self-concept is composed of two key parts: personal identity and social identity. Our personal identity includes such things as personality traits and other characteristics that make each person unique.
Social identity includes the groups we belong to including our community, religion, college, and other groups. Bracken (1992) suggested that there are six specific domains related to self-concept: * Social - the ability to interact with others Competence - ability to meet basic needs * Affect - awareness of emotional states * Physical - feelings about looks, health, physical condition, and overall appearance * Academic - success or failure in school * Family - how well one functions within the family unit Humanist psychologist Carl Rogers believed that there were three different parts of self-concept: 1 .
Self-image, or how you see yourself. It is important to realize that self-image does not necessarily coincide with reality. People might have an inflated self-image and believe that they are better at things than they really are. Conversely, people are also prone to having negative self-images and perceive or exaggerate flaws or weaknesses. For example, a teenage boy might believe that he is clumsy and socially awkward when he is really quite charming and likeable. A teenage girl might believe that she is overweight, when she is really quite thin.
Each individual's self-image is probably a mix of different aspects including your physical characteristics, personality traits, and social roles. 2. Self-Esteem, or how much you value yourself. A number of different factors can impact self-esteem, including how we compare ourselves to others and how others respond to us. When people respond positively to our behavior, we are more likely to develop positive self-esteem. When we compare ourselves to others and find ourselves lacking, it can have a negative impact on our self-esteem. And how we would like to see ourselves do not quite match up.
Congruence and Incongruence As mentioned earlier, our self-concepts are not always perfectly aligned with reality. Some students might believe that they are great at academics, but their school transcripts might tell a different story. According to Carl Rogers, the degree to which a person's self-concept matches up to reality is known as congruence and incongruence. While we all tend to distort reality to a certain degree, congruence occurs when self-concept is fairly well aligned to reality. Incongruence happens when reality does not match up to our self-concept.
Rogers believed that incongruence has its earliest roots in childhood. When parents place conditions on their affection for their children (only expressing love if children "earn it" through certain behaviors and living up to the parents' expectations), children begin to distort the memories of experiences that leave them feeling unworthy of their parents' love. Unconditional love, on the other hand, helps to foster congruence. Children who experience such love feel no need to continually distort their memories in order to believe that other people will love and accept them as they are.
Dimension Of self concept- The term self-concept is a general term used to refer to how someone thinks about or perceives themselves. The self concept is how we think about and evaluate ourselves. To be aware of oneself is to have a concept of oneself. Bandmaster (1999) provides the following self concept definition: "the individual's belief about himself or herself, including the person's attributes and who and what the self is". Self Concept is an important term for both social psychology inhumanity.
Lewis (1990) suggests that development of a concept of self has two aspects: - (1) The Existential Self This is the most basic part of the self-scheme or self-concept; the sense of being separate and distinct from others and the awareness of the constancy of the self" (Bee 1992). The child realizes that they exist as a separate entity from others and that they continue to exist over time and space. According to Lewis awareness of the existential self begins as young as two to three months old and arises in part due to the relation the child has with the world.
For example, the child smiles and someone smiles back, or the child touches a mobile and sees it move. (2) The Categorical Self Having realized that he or she exists as a separate experiencing being, the child next becomes aware that he or she is also an object in the world. Just as other objects including people have properties that can be experienced (big, small, red, smooth and so on) so the child is becoming aware of him or her self as an object which can be experienced and which has properties. The self too can be put into categories such as age, gender, size or skill.
Two of the first categories to be applied are age ("l m 3") and gender ("l am a girl"). In early childhood. The categories children apply to themselves are very concrete (e. G. Hair color, height and favorite things). Later, self- description also begins to include reference to internal psychological traits, comparative evaluations and to how others see them (3) Ideal Self If there is a mismatch between how you see yourself (e. G. Your self image) and what you'd like to be (e. G. Your ideal self ) then this is likely to affect how much you value yourself.
Therefore, there is an intimate relationship between self-image, ego-ideal and self-esteem. Humanistic psychologists study this using the Q-Sort Method. A experiences of the person. Hence, a difference may exist between a person's ideal self and actual experience. This is called incongruence. Where a person's ideal self and actual experience are consistent or very similar, a state of congruence exists. Rarely, if ever does a total state of congruence exist; all people experience a certain amount of incongruence. The development of congruence is dependent on unconditional positive regard.
Rorer's believed that for a person to achieve self-actualization they must be in a state of congruence. Michael Argyle (2008) says there are four major factors which influence its development: * The ways in which others (particularly significant others) react to us. * How we think we compare to others * Our social roles * The extent to which we identify with other people Module-2 Self-Esteem: Sense of Worth Meaning and Nature of Self Esteem Self-esteem refers to the way we see and think about ourselves. Self-esteem is a term used in psychology to reflect a person's overall emotional evaluation of his or her own worth.
It is a Judgment of oneself as well as an attitude toward the self. Self-esteem encompasses beliefs (for example, "l am competent," "l am worthy") and emotions such as triumph, despair, pride and shame. [l] Smith and Mackey define it by saying "The self-concept is what we think about the self; self-esteem, is the positive or negative evaluations of the self, as in how we feel about Self- esteem is also known as the evaluative dimension of the self that includes feelings of worthiness, prides and discouragement. [3] One's self-esteem is also closely associated with self-consciousness. 4] Self-esteem is a disposition that a person has which represents their Judgments of their own worthiness. [5] In the mid-sass, Morris Rosenberg and social-learning theorists defined self-esteem as a personal worth or worthiness. [6] Nathaniel Branded in 1969 defined self-esteem as "the experience of being competent to cope with the basic challenges of life and being worthy of happiness. " According to Branded, self-esteem is the sum of self- confidence (a feeling of personal capacity) and self-respect (a feeling of personal worth).
It exists as a consequence of the implicit Judgment that every person has of their ability to face life's challenges, to understand and solve problems, and their right to achieve happiness, and be given respect. 7] As a social psychological construct, self-esteem is attractive because researchers have conceptualized it as an influential predictor of relevant outcomes, such as academic achievement (Marsh 1990) or exercise behavior (Hager et al. 1998). In addition, self-esteem has also been treated as an important outcome due to its close relation with psychological well- being (Marsh 1989).
Self-esteem can apply specifically to a particular dimension (for example, "l believe I am a good writer and I feel happy about that") or a global extent (for example, "l believe I am a bad person, and feel bad about myself in general"). Psychologists usually regard self-esteem as an enduring personality characteristic exist. Synonyms or near-synonyms of self-esteem include: self-worth,[8] self-regard, [9] self-respect, and self-integrity. Characteristics of High and Low Self Esteem Refer to the PPTP What is self-esteem?
In simple words, self-esteem refers to your opinion of self. High self-esteem means you hold yourself in high regard, whereas low self-esteem means you do not have a good opinion about yourself and can be the cause of depression and a host of other problems. Therefore, self-esteem refers to how much you value yourself and how important you think you are. It's a measure of how you see yourself and how you feel about your life and your achievements. Self-esteem is not about bragging about yourself, it's actually knowing within, that you are worthy of the best.
It is about loving and accepting yourself Just the way you are - not about thinking you are perfect (nobody is). Why is self-esteem important? Every individual needs to have self-esteem, quite simply because it affects every aspect of one's life. Having a good self-esteem is essential, because: * It helps you feel good about yourself and everything you do. It translates into belief in yourself, giving you the courage to try new things. * It allows you to respect and honor yourself, even when you make mistakes.
And when you respect yourself, others will respect you too. * When you have a good self-esteem, you will know that you're smart enough to make your own decisions. * When you honor yourself, you will make choices that nourish your mind and body. * You will value your safety, your feelings and health. Therefore, you will choose to make healthier eating choices, exercising, or taking time off to do something you like (without feeling guilty about not ongoing something for somebody else).
All this does not mean that a person with good self-esteem discounts others, but that -? a person with a good self-esteem values oneself and ensures that his/her feelings or needs are not discounted. What affects self-esteem? When you were a baby, you did not worry about how you looked in your diapers, or feel embarrassed when you burped after your meal. A baby Just does not care. It values itself - it howls and cries if it needs something and smiles with its eyes when it is happy. We were all born this way, with a good self-esteem.
So in the initial years, it's the people around the child - who help him/her develop self-esteem. If they encourage the child, as he/she begins to learn new things - the child feels appreciated and valued. As time progresses, children have a bigger role in developing self-esteem. Achievements such as getting good grades, or getting a place in the school cricket team - gives the child a sense of pride - helping him/her feel loved and valued. In addition, other people in the child's life continue to play a role.
How parents, siblings, peers, teachers, grandparents speak of the child also influences the kid's opinion of him/herself. Sometimes, one may have a good self- esteem to begin with, but some event in life may put a dent in it along the way. If you do not have a good self-esteem, then it's time you worked on having a better image of yourself - thereby improving the overall quality of your life. Self-Esteem at the Workplace It is safe enough to observe that self-esteem makes the path to achievement easier good deal if they are highly intelligence, achievement-orientated and tenacious.
What will be missing in this person's life is the ability to enjoy what has been achieved. Nothing ever feels like enough. Often this is the key to understanding a organic. The role self-esteem plays in one's ability to cope with difficulties and rebound from failure. The more solid our self-esteem, the more likely we are to persevere in the face of obstacles. An extraordinarily high number of successful entrepreneurs have two or more bankruptcies in their past. Self-esteem (and the attributes that come with it) is endemic to professional success.
Let us remember the primary meaning of self-esteem. It is confidence in the efficacy of our mind, in our ability to think. By extension, it is confidence in our ability to learn, manage change, and make appropriate choices and decisions. The survival value of such confidence is obvious; so is the danger when that trust is missing. Studies of business failure tell us that a common cause is executive fear of making decisions. But it is not Just executives who need trust in their Judgment; everyone needs it, and never more so than now.
A modern business can no longer be run by a few people who think and a horde of autonomous drones. Today, organizations need their employees to have an unprecedented level of independence, self-reliance, self-trust and the capacity to exercise initiative- in brief, the employees must have ample self-esteem. Steps to enhance Self Esteem Refer to the PPTP Module Ill: Emotional Intelligence: Brain Power Introduction to El Salvoes and Mayor's conception of El strives to define El within the confines of the standard criteria for a new intelligence. 12] Following their continuing research, their initial definition of El was revised to "The ability to perceive emotion, integrate emotion to facilitate thought, understand emotions and to regulate emotions to promote personal growth. " The ability-based model views emotions as useful sources of information that help one to make sense of and navigate the social environment. The model proposes that individuals vary in their ability to process information of an emotional nature and in their ability to relate emotional processing to a wider cognition.
This ability is seen to manifest itself in certain adaptive behaviors. The model claims that El includes four types of abilities: 1. Perceiving emotions - the ability to detect and decipher emotions in faces, pictures, voices, and cultural artifacts-?including the ability to identify one's own emotions. Perceiving emotions represents a basic aspect of emotional intelligence, as it makes all other processing of emotional information possible. . Using emotions - the ability to harness emotions to facilitate various cognitive activities, such as thinking and problem solving.
The emotionally intelligent person can capitalize fully upon his or her changing moods in order to best fit the task at hand. 3. Understanding emotions - the ability to comprehend emotion language and to appreciate complicated relationships among emotions. For example, understanding emotions encompasses the ability to be sensitive to slight variations between emotions, and the ability to recognize and describe how emotions evolve over time. 4. Managing Therefore, the emotionally intelligent person can harness emotions, even negative ones, and manage them to achieve intended goals.
The ability El model has been criticized in the research for lacking face and predictive validity in the workplace Our Three Main Intelligences- Difference between 'Q, CEQ and SQ Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) is defined as, "The intelligence with which we address and solve problems of meaning and value, the intelligence with which we can place our actions and our lives in a wider, richer, meaning-giving context, the intelligence with which we can sees that one course of action or one life-path that is more meaningful than any other. " SQ essentially integrates IQ (the traditional Intelligence Quotient) and CEQ (Emotional Intelligence).
It is our ultimate intelligence. * IQ is associated with the serial processing activity of the brain (rational thought). It is associated with erroneous tracts. Neural tracts learn (are wired) according to a fixed program, the rules of which are laid down in formal logic. The learning involved is step-by-step. And rule bound. When we teach children their times table by rote, we are encouraging them to wire their brains for serial processing. It produces the kind of thinking that is useful for solving rational problems or achieving definite tasks. Much instinctual behavior is also accounted for by serial processing.
An instinct can be thought of as a fixed program, as in the imprinting instinct in ducks and other birds - where the newly hatched bird identifies as its mother the first caring object or person it meets, and remains stuck on that identification. Some over rational human beings can get stuck in a programmed mode of thinking in the same way, finding it difficult to bend rules or to learn new ones. * CEQ. Associative thinking underlies most of our rely emotional intelligence (CEQ) - the link between one emotion and another, between emotions and bodily feelings, emotions and the environment.
It is also able to recognize patterns like faces or smells, and to learn bodily skills like riding a bicycle or driving a car. It is 'thinking' with the heart and the body and so is thought of as our 'emotional intelligence' or the 'body's intelligence'. The structures within the brain with which we do our associative thinking are known sensual networks. Each of these networks contains bundles of up to 100,000 neurons, and each neurons in a bundle may be connected to as many as 1,000 others. Unlike the precise wiring of neural tracts, neural networks each neurons acts upon or is acted upon by, many others simultaneously.
Unlike serial neural tracts which are rule bound or program- bound and thus unable to learn, neural networks have the ability to rewire themselves in dialogue with experience. All associative learning is done by trial and error. This kind of learning is experience-based: the more times I perform a skill successfully, the more inclined I will be to do it that way next time. Associative learning is also tacit learning - I learn the skill, but I can't articulate any rules by which I learned it and usually can't even describe how I did so.
Neural networks are not connected with our language faculty, nor with our ability to articulate concepts. They are simply embedded in experience. We feel our skills, we do our skills, but we don't think or talk about them. We develop our skills because they give us a sense of satisfaction or a feeling of reward, or because they help us avoid pain. Thus most emotions are developed by trial-and-error, a slow associative build-up of response to certain stimuli. And they are quite habit-bound. Once I have learned to feel anger at psychotherapy exists to help people break the habit of long-standing but inappropriate emotional association.
Like other aspects of associative intelligence, emotions are not immediately verbal. We often have trouble talking about them, at least with any accuracy, and they are certainly not always 'rational' in the sense of obeying rules or predictions. They often respond to incomplete data in unpredictable ways. Associative intelligence is able to deal with ambiguous situations, but it is also 'approximate'. It is more flexible but less accurate that serial thinking. The sedateness of this type of thinking are that it is slowly learned, inaccurate and tends to be habit-bound or tradition bound.
We can relearn a skill or an emotional response, but it takes time and much effort. And because associative thinking is tacit, we often have difficulty sharing it with others. We can't Just write out a formula and tell someone else to get on with the Job. All of us must learn a skill in our own way, for ourselves. No two brains have the same set of neural connections. Similarly, no two people have the same emotional life. I can recognize your emotion, I can empathic with it, but I don't have it. * SQ. Spiritual intelligence (SQ) could also be called the 'intelligence of meaning'.
It is what makes us essentially human: the ability to plan, to make sense of our emotions, to control our impulses, to make choices, and endow our world with meaning. The frontal lobes of the brain are where our ideas are created; plans constructed; thoughts Joined with their associations to form new memories; and fleeting perceptions held in mind until they are dispatched to long- term memory or oblivion. This brain region is the home of consciousness - the high lit land where the products of the brain's subterranean assembly lines emerge for scrutiny.
Self-awareness arises here, and emotions are transformed in this place from physical survival systems to subjective feelings. If we were to draw a 'you are here' sign on our map of the mind, it is to the frontal lobes that the arrow would point. In this our new view of the brain echoes an ancient knowledge - for it is here, too, that mystics have traditionally placed the Third Eye - the gateway to the highest point of awareness. (Carter 1998, p. 180) IQ is associated with serial processing in the brain via hard-wired neural tracts and CEQ emerges from associative processing via the brain forming, by trial-and-error, neural networks.

From the moment we started this game up, it swept us up in what will become the key word for today: atmosphere. The opening screen features a rather macabre image and a sad, quiet tune that drills in the loneliness and helplessness of the scenario.
Miscreated, a game currently still being tweaked for final production by Entrada Interactive, is in many ways a DayZ look-alike, but features a heavier undertone and runs on the CryEngine 3. Bearing in mind that this is only an early alpha, allow us to give you some of our first impressions of the title.
We mentioned earlier that our happy word of the day is atmosphere. Miscreated is absolutely leaking it in every single one of its orifices. From that haunting tune at the end to the open-area playing field, the environment it creates is vast and quite impressive for an early alpha, though there were the to-be-expected ticks and glitches here and there. Obviously, this is a game still in progress but the amount of work that has already gone into it now earned a very impressed, albeit scared, nod from us.
It's also refreshing to see that the game's controls already feel pretty tight and fluid. Now, again, the title is not wholly finished and, in places, it shows. Key bindings are still a bit finicky (or outright broken, depending on what you aim to do), but we're going to take this with a grain of salt – because we're all lovely, well-mannered people.
At least until we start punching Mr. Clean clones in the face. Nothing quite like that. Thanks, Miscreated!
Another aspect of the game that it excels in is its sandbox: you can collect an assortment of items and weapons to build a personalized base, combine them into stronger weapons or just to make more useful tools. The downside to this is the same you'll find in DayZ: you're going to have both mutants and other plays ready to curb-stomp your bald, sparkling clean head in almost any attempt to adventure and collect.
The mutants are unnerving. Their designs are not exactly unique nor is the story involved with the game itself, but it's forgivable. A good post-apocalyptic scenario is still a good scenario as long as it's scary and engaging, after all – and it is definitely both here. We like the word "unnerving" in particular for this game because it really does fit. It is excessively unsettling; making it easy to work yourself into a nervous lather just by tip-toeing out in the open or venturing into an abandoned town.
Despite a release date not being confirmed for the time being, the developers are already listing some pretty enticing features that Miscreated, in its final form, will be unleashing on players. Taking a look at the official site, these include: realistic bullet physics, dynamic encounters, huge, open world exploration, an in-depth crafting system, a unique construction system, underground exploration and much more.
With such ambitions in mind, Entrada are certainly promising a heavy reward for player and fan patience. From what we've seen thus far, it's easy to see the seeds of something that could very well end up being incredible starting to grow. The atmosphere, the sound design, the loneliness and just the general open exploration gives Miscreated a sense of true horror – making its players feel truly helpless and afraid. No one is on their side, everything is out to kill them and they only have themselves to rely on for survival.
Now, as much as we like being positive and trying to find the gem in the proverbial horse stable, we do have to point out some bad. As we've stated, the game is in an unfinished state and we think it holds a lot of promise – but it would be remiss not to point out the good few flaws we experienced in our first go-around.
As we previously touched on, the key bindings were, at the time of playing, not working at all. Night was falling, we managed to stumble our way into figuring out we had a flashlight and then could not actually use it. Already a bundle of nerves, we decided to proceed ahead and hope for the best. This proved to be a fatal mistake.
A nice gentleman proceeded to run up behind us, and beat our face in with a shovel. Oh god, the sound of footsteps that are not your own are a thing of true nightmares in this game. Regardless, we took a few swings at him but found ourselves thoroughly outmatched and consistently knocked back in a ferocious manner. He had a shovel; we had our tiny, clean fists, and naturally his range soon caved our skull in. After we stopped whimpering, it was more amusing than anything, but it illustrates the point that the physics do need a bit more tweaking as well as the key bindings.
The game is also exceptionally quiet except when it comes to footsteps. We don't expect to be dancing our way through sweet rave beats while we punch mutants, but the lack of any sort of environmental feedback beyond footsteps added a lot to the uncanny level of fear. Whether this is good or bad, we can't say. We enjoyed the experience but we can see how it might grate on some players to not get a lot more than the tread of a shoe or an occasional whisper of the wind telling you that you're doomed.
All things considered, our first impressions of Miscreated are positive. We're cautiously optimistic about all the wonderful features its developers promise, and can also now officially say that we enjoyed getting our face caved in by Mr. Clean and his shovel.

Join us to celebrate the final exhibition of the season.
Coalesce presents a fusion of distinct Anishinaabeg aesthetics of the Great Lakes' region with the refuse from Western society's technological and digital age. This entanglement of materials intentionally shifts the object's materiality and its accepted paradigm within the physical world. Through this integration and juxtaposition of recognizable Anishinaabeg materials used in Anishinaabeg material culture (e.g. glass beads, porcupine quills), with contemporary electronic materials (e.g. capacitors and resistors), the exhibition will challenge viewers to reject and re-examine notions of cultural status.
Join our talented students as they perform pieces they've be working on during their weekly lessons.

Student arrested after posting threatening Snapchat message: 'Don't come to school tomorrow'
A California teenager was arrested after allegedly threatening a high school shooting on Snapchat, according to local police.
The Clovis Police Department arrested an unnamed 15-year-old male Clovis Unified student just before 2 a.m. on Wednesday morning for making threats on social media towards students at Buchanan High School.
Authorities said that a concerned citizen notified them about the Snapchat photo, which depicted the teen holding what appeared to be an assault rifle with the caption, "Don't come to school tomorrow."
Clovis Officers and Clovis Unified School Police investigated the threat and located the student who sent the post. The gun in the picture was eventually found and identified as an airsoft rifle.
The 15-year-old was booked into the Fresno County Juvenile Justice Corrections on one count of criminal threats of death or great bodily injury.
In response to the incident, Buchanan High School sent out the following message:
This is an important message from Buchanan High School. Overnight, we became aware of a social media post made by a Buchanan High School student that appeared to contain a threat to our school. Immediately an investigation was launched by Clovis Unified Police and City of Clovis Police, who were able to identify the student, and identify the weapon in the photo as an air soft gun. We appreciate the swift and thorough work of our law enforcement partners to investigate this post to its source, and want everyone in our community to know that any comments made online or in person of this nature will be taken seriously. Parents, we ask that you talk to your students about the seriousness of making any remark that appears to threaten the safety of our students. Any such action will result in arrest, expulsion from school or other serious consequences. Finally, we want to thank those who saw this post and reported it to officials for investigation. Thank you for your support of our efforts to preserve a welcoming and secure campus for our students, and thank you for your attention to this call.
In wake of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on Feb. 14, police across the country have been dealing with a rise in threats of copycat crimes.
A South Carolina student was arrested just one day after the deadly attack when he posted a Snapchat of himself holding a gun, threatening a "round 2" of the massacre.
On Monday night, a 16-year-old Florida boy who allegedly threatened to kill other students at his school was taken into custody. Deputies with the Broward County Sheriff's Office discovered a homemade pipe bomb along with other weapons in his possession at the time of his arrest.

Super simple shift dress with sweet puff sleeves, hidden zipper up the back and made in 100% rayon in the USA.
Care instructions: We want all our garments to last without harming the environment so only wash garments when they really do need it. This item is made of 100% rayon so we advise you dry clean only. We've experimented with hand washing on cold and hang drying but because every textile has a different ink/fabric combination the shrinkage is inconsistent and not worth the risk.

The book contains a number of genres mixed
together to tell the Howe family's story of how they
faced, coped and dealt with various challenges
including death.
Whether it's the fiction relating to angelic messengers
or demonic agents, or the autobiography of their
lives, both sections will reveal scriptures that assisted
them in handling the issues they faced.
The book, however, does not contain a prescription or
a list of 'what to do' or coping mechanisms but rather
reveals practical steps they took resulting in their
overcoming all the challenges they faced including
A short extract introducing the spiritual realm
(fiction) to the reader:
A flurry of activity was taking place in front of the
huge golden doors. In the reception area messengers
were hurrying back and forth; assignment sheets
just recently been handed out were now being
carefully studied and scrutinised. The atmosphere
was a mixture of intense excitement and expectancy,
although in some corners of the room palpable
concern could be felt by the recipients of each
Messenger 347, commonly known as Jed was
quietly reading his assignment very studiously when
the peaceful atmosphere was rudely interrupted by a
loud noise. Bursting into the room a huge messenger
entered hurriedly oblivious to the fact that he was
late and ignoring the disturbance he caused. When
he saw Jed, a mischievous grin appeared on his face,
showing no respect for the others present he pushed
his way forward and sat down beside Jed.
"Oh Lord please don't let it be 798" sighed
Jed quietly and looked up as Number 798 the
massive Ger began interrogating him intensely.
"What's up, why are all the messengers here,
haven't they anything better to do? Why was I
recalled from my assignment? Has a new battle been
planned, speak to me Jed?" Ger said without taking a
Jed replied "Look at what I've just read"
handing over his sheet to Ger. On the top of the
page in bold letters stood – Assignment Howe
Children – Messengers 347 and 798 allocated for
duty, to be joined later by 522. Exercising his ability
as the fastest speed-reader of all the messengers
Ger whipped through the assignment completely
ignoring the fact that Jed was trying to read it. Nano
seconds later Ger dropped the sheet and let rip a
roar of unadulterated joy. In the confined space he
spread his wings and soared into the air circling all
present and proclaiming with the loudest voice yet
heard to date;
"Praise God above, glory to my Creator,
Hallelujah to the Lamb I'm on a battle assignment
for the King of Kings and Lord of Lords." Like an
uncontrollable earth bound epidemic spreading, all
the messengers took up the refrain singing and
shouting the victory praises of God Almighty. For
that moment all work assignments were forgotten
and Heaven's realm was filled with the mighty
praises of angels and saints alike.
Standing behind the golden doors Gabriel
turned to Michael with a smile and said, "It begins."
Deep beneath the surface of the earth Lucifer's
agents huddled together. Uneasiness began to creep
over them. Agitation and anxious looks began to
manifest on every loathsome, evil face.
"The enemy is up to it again," screeched an
agent as he came charging into the room, terror
written all over his face. "They have all received their
latest assignments and are already singing their
victory songs."
A rumbling evil noise came out of the darkness
in the corner of the room, permeating throughout the
whole place. It was the chief of all the agents in the
area. He was feared by all for his ruthlessness and
vicious temper. Today he spoke with soft and quiet
tones. This created indescribable terror in the hearts
of all agents present.
"Find out what the messengers are up to; pick
out one of their assignments for our special treatment
and this time don't fail me."
A short extract taken from 'The Theological
College years':
On our arrival in Johannesburg at the camp grounds
we soon realised that no-one was aware of the fact
that we were due to arrive, let alone have
accommodation ready for us. Eventually we were
given a 'hut' to stay in (after cleaning out the dead
rats!) I was going to study at the Theological College
and become the new 'Billy Graham'!
The family's messengers were quite amused at the
accommodation their charges had to put up with,
notwithstanding the fact that it was a two roomed hut
having the bathroom facilities some distance away.
"They will learn a valuable lesson in humility"
chuckled Han as he watched his charge becoming
more and more frustrated regarding the dust that had
accumulated in the hut.
"This will be a short test
for them as they will soon
move to better quarters in
the Children's Home" added
"But they don't know
that now do they?" added Ger
wanting to contribute
something of substance to the
The messengers knew
that this was the first of many
installments the family would
have to face in preparation for
the ministry.

In his book "Flying Without Wings," a clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California, Los Angeles, Arnold R. Beisser offers his readers an intimate, and, first hand reflection on the beauty of those who are compassionate to persons with disabilities, he comments: Einstein transformed our knowledge of the physical properties of objects: that they do not stand alone and their form depends on relationships in time and space. Humans are even more dependent on their relationships with one another. But most of us suffer from what Einstein calls an "optical delusion," in which we believe we are separate. This keeps us from the "compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

Photography: Bethany Struble
I am so thankful for my friends! Bethany Struble was kind enough to photograph me with her Canon Mark ii to get some visual content for I AM GALLA until my Nikon comes in the mail. I literally rolled out of bed in pajamas, drove to her house in pajamas and shot these obviously…in pajamas. I lean towards skinny trousers but the loose, comfortable plaid just hit a harmonious note below my fitted biker jacket. Threw on some reflective sunnies, high tops and sat atop a waste bin. Now that I've shot my CD cover, I just to start an alternative band right?
Here's the question at hand people, why not pajamas? Dress up your nightwear by layering a blazer or leather jacket. Scarves and necklaces are nice touches too. Take your relaxation right out the door with you, confidently. Sure you'll turn heads but if you accessorize and style appropriately, you just might inspire a few in your stride.
sleep on it.

Lincoln Park's Alinea has been a fine-dining mainstay in Chicago since its opening in 2005. Chef Grant Achatz's three-Michelin-starred modern American restaurant has been helmed as the World's Best Restaurant on numerous occasions (it's currently at #34) and has pioneered the molecular gastronomy movement in the U.S. It continues to push the boundaries of a meal with dishes that are fun, emotional and provocative, by blurring the lines between art and food. But is it worth the hype?
Who is Grant Achatz?
Grant Achatz is the chef at Alinea, which is co-owned by restaurateur Nick Kokonas (founder and CEO of Tock). Alinea means "the beginning of a new train of thought," and is symbolic of Achatz's goal to change and upend expectations. Achatz is known for using modern techniques to create avant-garde tasting menus that are theatrical in their presentation. Dishes are served on rolled out pieces of cloth and scented pillows rather than on plates, and strawberries become tomatoes. "I want the guests to have a sense of wonderment," Achatz says of the creative menu at Alinea.
"Why do you have to eat with a fork or a spoon, and why does it have to be served in a plate or a bowl? Why can't we come up with something new? Is every element of the restaurant we try to break down and go the best way it could exist, or is there a better version? Rules? There is no rule. Do whatever you want."
What is the restaurant's vibe?
Alinea had a total makeover before its 10thanniversary in 2016, shuttering the wildly successful restaurant for four months and reopening in 2017 with a clean and bright look, a new dining experience, and three different menus (The Kitchen Table, The Gallery Menu, and The Salon Menu).
Upon my arrival, I walked into an elegant room with painted Plexiglas panels, created by Chicago gallery owner and artist Thomas Masters and suspended from the coffered ceiling, and a cascading LED chandelier hanging above the curved staircase leading to the Salon level. My level of enjoyment was high as I was about to dine at one of Chicago's most celebrated restaurants.
We had a crossword puzzle sitting at the end of our table, which was later revealed to be our menu. The staff was remarkably knowledgeable, attentive and engaged, bringing both humor and personality to the meal. My table, unfortunately, witnessed an incident where a waiter had incorrectly identified the ingredients in one of our courses—needless to say, we never saw him again. Ouch!
Does it taste as good as it looks? The team at Alinea have no-doubt created a beautiful space, but a beautiful space alone doesn't make a restaurant worthy of three stars by Michelin, which is the pinnacle of professionalism, hospitality, and creativity. And Alinea is one of only 13 restaurants in the U.S. to boast such praise. The accolades haven't stopped rolling in, either. (If this sounds familiar, you might've caught a glimpse on season two of Netflix's "Chef's Table").
There's nothing typical about Alinea's food, and my vegetarian menu was no different. Half of the people at my table were vegetarian, and the other half were not; however, the staff was able to accommodate while making the fewest number of changes possible. We were able to enjoy the menu as much as our non-vegetarian counterparts, so the integrity of the experience was not compromised.
Our menu consisted of the following courses:
- White | Asparagus, Almond, Basil
- Kaeng | Ginger, Mustard, Chili
- Glow | Lemongrass*
- Ink | Squash, Scallion, Black lime
- Stem | Morel, Oxalis, Goat Butter
- Tail | Parsnip, Trumpet Royale, Huckleberry*
- Branch | Maitake, Juniper, Acorn
- Tea | Matsutake, Lemon, Thyme
- Rossini | Maitake, Frites, Mayonnaise*
- Ear | Woodear, Truffle
- Transition | Yam, Délice, Apricot*
- Wood | Hoja Santa, Tamarind, Chocolate
- Nostalgia
- Corn | Popped, Caramel, Liquid
- Balloon | Helium, Green Apple
*Some of my favorite dishes from the evening
How much does it cost?
The Salon, located on the restaurant's second floor, will run you $205 to $275 for a 10-14 course tasting menu. The Gallery, on the ground floor beside the kitchen, offers an extended menu of 16 to 18 courses at $295 to $360 that combines fine dining with experimental moments. Finally, The Kitchen Table is a glassed-in six-top commitment at $395, which, as its name suggests, claims a 144-square-foot corner nook in Alinea's kitchen, where guests try 16 to 30 courses, depending on the eve. Wine pairings with all meals come at an additional cost.
You book a table rather than a seat at the restaurant, so if you have an odd number in your party, you still pay for the complete table! Bookings include food, a service charge, and taxes. Something to keep in mind: All reservations require that you pay in advance, and all sales are final and non-refundable; however, you can transfer a reservation.
Is Alinea worth the hype?
Dinner at Alinea is expensive (it has been listed as one of the most expensive restaurants in the U.S.) and is recommended for special occasions, but I can assure you that this restaurant will create a lasting impression. Dining here is partly theater and pure pleasure—an experience. Air-filled balloons are edible, and senses of taste, touch, and smell are tested, along with mental and emotional boundaries being pushed. The menu, an ever-shifting chameleon, is a reflection of the wizards in the kitchen led by Achatz himself—no two meals are ever alike.
"People like to think the creative process is romantic. The artist drifts to sleep at night, to be awakened by the subliminal echoes of his or her next brilliant idea. The truth, for me at least, is that creativity is primarily the result of hard work and study."
Achatz once said that he'd tear the space apart every year if he could because his restaurant is a shark that devours ideas, and if it doesn't keep swimming and eating, it'll die. He wanted to see if his team could do it all over again. They have.
Tip: Alinea books up quickly and does not accept walk-in customers. Tickets are sold two months in advance, and usually, they are released around the 15th of the month at 11 a.m. CST.

Shell Trims Tesla Stake; Buys PayPal, Adobe, FedEx
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Shell Transport and Trading Company, a predecessor company to Royal Dutch Shell, unveiled its first logo in 1901: a mussel shell.
Three years later, the logo was changed to the now-familiar scallop shell, but Shell (ticker: RDS.A) still has plenty of muscle to flex, both in its energy business and in investing.
Consider subsidiary Shell Asset Management Company, known as SAMCo, which appoints external managers to handle the company's pension assets. At the end of 2016, those assets stood at 27.3 billion euros (against liabilities of 22.4 billion euros). Most of it, 52%, is allocated to fixed-income investments, while 18% is designated for alternate investments. Twenty-six percent is pegged to publicly listed equities, which returned 10.2% for SAMCo in 2016; that double-digit gain was certainly respectable, but still about two percentage points shy of what the Standard & Poor's 500 returned, including reinvested dividends.
What's interesting is that according to S&P Capital IQ, SAMCo's $4.5 billion in investments that are subject to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulatory filings largely reflect the allocations of the index. Its top holdings are in information technology (21.8%), financials (16.7%) and health care (11.3%), which correspond to the S&P 500's sector weightings of 23.6%, 14.7% and 14.6%, respectively.
We've declared that Shell is "The Best Big Oil Stock" in a recent cover story, but, curiously, SAMCo actually has a lower allocation to energy than the S&P 500: 5.6% to the index's 5.9%.
In the third calendar quarter, SAMCo reduced most of its U.S.-traded holdings, including each of its largest 25 holdings by dollar volume, including Microsoft (MSFT), Apple (AAPL) and American depositary receipts of Alibaba Group Holding (BABA).
Speaking of Apple, SAMCo hasn't been afraid to think differently. It owns shares in Tesla (TSLA), albeit a reduced position to 6,200 shares at the end of the third quarter from 7,900 at the end of the second quarter. A car powered by an electric battery may be anathema to most big oil companies, but Shell plans to provide charging services at its gas stations.
In the face of SAMCo's overwhelming bias to sell shares (1,008 reduced or sold-out positions out of 1,237 total publicly traded stock, according to S&P Capital IQ), it's intriguing to regard what the pension manager's been buying.
The Shell unit raised its stake in PayPal Holdings (PYPL) to 98,000 shares at the end of the third quarter from 80,500 shares. Shell, in some countries, already allows motorists to pay using PayPal through its Fill Up & Go app. We recently spoke with the head of an asset-management firm who sees PayPal shares heading to $100; that would mean 42% upside from Tuesday's close at $70.21.
SAMCo thinks it can see a higher valuation in Alcoa (AA), as it initiated a position of 30,500 shares in the aluminum giant. Last week Alcoa reported disappointing third-quarter earnings but the company raised its estimate for full-year adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Ebitda) to $2.4 billion, up from $2.1 billion-$2.2 billion, on stronger alumina and aluminum prices.
In an acrobatic move, the Shell unit bought about 12,000 more shares of Adobe Systems (ADBE), bringing its holdings in the software giant to 51,000 shares as of Sept. 30. Adobe shares, along with the market indexes, have been trading in record territory after a boost last week on a bullish outlook.
SAMCo expects FedEx (FDX) to continue delivering strong returns and raised its stake in the logistics firm by 6,000 more shares to 24,100 shares. FedEx stock has been stubbornly resilient so far this year, even in the face of disappointing earnings, a cyberattack and encroachment by Amazon.com (AMZN).
In the face of cyberattacks, SAMCo is big on security, evidenced by increased shareholdings in Palo Alto Networks (PANW) and Fortinet (FTNT) to 18,400 shares and 60,000 shares on Sept. 30, respectively, from 5,400 shares and 7,500 shares on June 30, respectively. We noted an analyst who was bearish on the two stocks last month. But Fortinet reports third-quarter earnings Thursday and has found favor with another analyst. The numbers could bear out which way Fortinet is headed.
Shell is going whole hog for Harley-Davidson (HOG), increasing its holdings to 221,500 shares from 184,000 shares. The motorcycle maker has been having a wobbly year, with shares down 15% so far through Tuesday's close. We've been bearish about its prospects, most recently in July.
Maybe Shell is thinking this could be a Tesla-like play. After all Harley-Davidson is contemplating a motorcycle with an electric engine. It's further back in the production cycle, however. There are still job postings for engineers to work on it, and these bikes won't be rumbling into a Shell station to charge up in the near future.

Gov't ends funding for Paraquita Bay farmers—Hipolito D. Penn
He was speaking at the time, with Honestly Speaking's, Mr Claude O. Skelton Cline, during the September 4, 2018, live radio broadcast.
Fire Ignited
The political hopeful was discussing some of the challenges facing the community, when he revealed that the VI government would no longer be funding farming in the community—something told to him by the incumbent representative, Dr the Honourable Kedrick D. Pickering.
Mr Penn told host and radio listeners, the agriculture industry in the district has died under the watch of Dr Pickering and his response was, "the government is not spending any more money in Paraquita Bay, because nothing is happening."
These were among the reasons, Mr Penn highlighted, that "ignited a fire in me" to run for political office.
Mr Penn was adamant the threat to farming in the Paraquita Bay area, is a threat to the very livelihoods of the people who depend on the industry
His Mouth
Quizzed by host, Mr Skelton-Cline, in relation to the accusation being levelled against the Deputy Premier, Mr Penn doubled down and insisted Dr Pickering said government "aint spending any more money in agriculture in Paraquita Bay, nobody didn't tell me that you know, this is what came from his mouth to my ears and those kinds a things lit the fire inside of me."
Looking to give a voice to the affected farmers, Mr Penn said, "they ain't giving up, against all of that, they ain't giving up."
The political hopeful looking to run against Dr Pickering in the Seventh District used the occasion to launch an assault against the Deputy Premier, saying come next elections he, "need to go home and sleep."
He said Dr Pickering has over the course of his 20 years in office, lost the passion to work on behalf of the people and has instead adopted different interest groups.
Mr Penn—a former NDP supporter—confessed, "when I supported the Hon Kedrick Pickering, he had a passion, and I have seen that passion come out of his eyes…He no longer has that passion for his own people but he picked it up for someone else."
He said, "we can't go any further with the current representative."
The political aspirant lashed out at Dr Pickering, saying he abandoned the people of the Seventh District, especially following the 2017 disasters.
"Anytime a boat is sinking, the Captain is last to get off," according to Mr Penn, who lamented, "there is a crisis right now, we still in crisis mode…we are in a boat of crisis and the first person to get off of that boat was the same Hon Kedrick Pickering."

How does government help farmers in Paraquita bay though and why would government spend money to assist a farmer. I would like to understand how and why this is done because, while agriculture is important, so is every other business. The most expensive food one can buy is local produce. I am really not getting it.

E. Leonard (05/09/2018, 18:02) Like (6) Dislike (0) ReplyAgricultural production in the BVI is a topic that is popping up with increasing frequency in the media. And it may be too at kitchen table, domino table, water cooler, bars, schools, churches, ferries, sports stadiums, supermarkets, doctors offices......etc. In regards to agricultural output for local/home consumption, limited arable land, scant water supply for irrigation, increased/increasing population, competition from external sources, converting once arable land to other uses ( housing)........etc, presents challenges to the BVI being self sufficient in food production. The majority of BVI food is imported. Nonetheless, though the BVI may not be able to feed itself, it should exert all reasonable and practicable effort to increase local food production. As such, government should provide reasonable assistance to farmers to increase agricultural output, ie, land, water, transportation, agricultural market(s), energy, seedlings, fertilizers, equipment .......etc. Further, HLSCC can offer courses, seminars......etc on how to increase yield per acre, training on agritech.......etc.
Increasing local food production reduces the food import bill; spending local creates a multiplier effect in the economy. Further, though local food production may not necessarily be less expensive than some imports, the food may be cheaper, source known......etc. The common belief is that local food should be cheaper than imported food. Well, not necessarily. It is a function of production cost. For example, the cost of Chiquita, a MNC, producing a pound of banana may be less than say a local farmer in Cane Garden area can do it for. Additionally, increasing local food production also enhances food security (the state of having reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food).

Minister of Education and Culture Visited UT Exhibition Stand at Dili, Timor Leste
Indonesia and Timor Leste have a very special relationship as both countries geographically share their land borders and therefore they have many similarities, in terms of social, culture, and religion. The official language spoken in Timor Leste is Tetun Portugese Language, and yet most Timor Leste population use Indonesian Language in their daily life. This is one form of active roles that support the development of Timor Leste.
Education is a mutual understanding, which means that it is a driving force of the social trade or movement in order to gain the national welfare, prosperity and interest that will serve as a bridge for inter-communities in one country with the international communities. In the development of the world's education, Timor Leste still needs some experts in various fields of sciences in order to build the nation.
In order to support the education in Timor Leste, Indonesia Open University or UT was present and participated at the Exhibition of Indonesia Higher Education Expo 2019 having the theme of "Achieving your success through better education 4.0" which is held on 25 – 27 April 2019 at Indonesian Culture Center (PBI) Building, Dili, Timor Leste. The participants of the expo include 19 Indonesian universities and 9 universities from Timor Leste. At this exhibition, UT Director-Kupang, Drs. Yos Sudarso, M.Pd briefly explained about UT in front of the expo visitors.
The exhibition was also attended by Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia Muhadjir Effendy who was accompanied by the Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia for Timor Leste, Sahat Sitorus and Menteri Luar Negeri Timor Leste Dionisio Soeres Babo. The visit of Minister of Education and Culture to Timor Leste was made simultaneously for the inauguration of the new building of Indonesian Culture Center (PBI) in Timor Leste. In his visit, Muhadjir Effendy had the opportunity to visit UT stand and said that Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbud) strongly supports UT in providing higher education services.
UT participation in this expo was warmly welcomed by many, not only the people who visited the exhibition, but also the Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia who gave full support for the event. Sahat Sitorus expected UT to be able to help to serve and work together in improving the Education in Timor Leste. Furthermore, the Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia expressed that UT has the education capacity which is required today. In line with that, the Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia also said that Timor Leste does not solely rely on oil or gas, but also depend on high quality or highly skilled manpower. Indonesia and Timor Leste are committed to supporting the education advancement so it can produce reliable human resources.

From June 1, a series of taster sessions will be held across Elmbridge at different charities, appeals and centres that rely on volunteers.
Anyone can drop into the sessions, which aim to highlight the vast range of volunteering opportunities that there is in the borough, from visiting the elderly to mentoring young people.
Sue Gray, volunteer co-ordinator at Voluntary Action Elmbridge, said: "We have provided a programme of taster events so that people can just drop in and see how they can make a difference in their community.
"It is all about making a difference and about people enjoying what they do, helping the community and getting something out of it themselves as well.
"It can be very rewarding to be a volunteer and these tasters can give people a chance to see how they would like to volunteer – there is something for everyone."
There are more than 430 opportunities for people to help out in the area, and Voluntary Action Elmbridge (VAC) helps to match up people who want to volunteer with an available opportunity.
They can pop into the centre to search through the extensive database to find an area in which they would be interested in helping, or log on to www.do-it.org.uk, which will send their details to VAC, who will look it up for them.
This service is particularly useful for people who are at work all day or would find it difficult to drop into the centre, just behind the council offices on the High Street in Esher.
"This is a very important week for us," said Sue. "It is the chance to celebrate our volunteers and also raise the profile of volunteering.
"It shows people how volunteers make a difference in the community and people enjoy the work because they get out of it as much as they put in."
She said that anyone can volunteer – people can give up an hour a week or at weekends or just do it on a monthly basis.
The programme of events is being sponsored by Elmbridge Borough Council and Surrey County Council, which encourage their staff to take part in the taster week as part of an ongoing programme to encourage employees to volunteer.
People can drop into a range of different voluntary and community groups – from the Surrey Association for Visual Impairment (SAVI) to visiting the studio of the Elmbridge & Runny-mede Talking Newspaper.
Participants can also find out how to save lives with Surrey Air Ambulance Appeal and see how just one hour of time can make all the difference to a lonely and isolated older person with Friends of the Elderly.
During the week, the Volunteer Centre will be open between June 1 and June 5, 10am until 12.30pm, and on June 6 and 7, 10am until 4pm.
Taster sessions include:
June 1, with One to One at Burview Hall, Queen's Road, Walton, between 7.30pm and 9pm. People can help with a social and activities evening for adults with learning disabilities.
June 2, at the Princess Alice Hospice, West End Lane, Esher, from 10am until 12.30pm. Potential volunteers can see about opportunities at the hospice and at their retail charity shops.
June 5, with Send Family Link at HMP Send, Ripley Road, Woking, from 10am until 3pm. Drop into the visitor centre and learn about working with prisoners families.
June 6, with the Volunteer Centre, Resident's House, Esher. From 10am until 4pm. Find out the range of volunteering opportunities available.
June 7, with the Elmbridge & Runnymede Talking News-paper, Weybridge Hospital, Church Street, Weybridge, from 2pm until 5pm.
Visit the studios where 20,000 audio cassettes of weekly news are turned around every year.
For a full copy of the programme log on to www.vae.org. uk or ring Sue Gray on 01372 463587.

A molecular biologist by degree, a computational biologist by passion, in my work I combine both approaches to answer questions about non-coding RNA function and eukaryotic gene regulation. I am particularly interested in the involvement of ncRNA and microbiota in normal development and disease such as cancer.
I obtained a BSc in Biotechnology and MSc in Molecular Biology from the University of Warsaw and a PhD in Genetics from the University of Manchester. During my studies and I gained practical experience with a wide range of experimental techniques on a variety of biological systems. Throughout my career, I was combining the experimental and bioinformatical approaches to answer biological questions that could not be answered by either method alone.
I also enjoy communicating science to other scientists, students and public. I am a volunteer teacher in Polish Saturday School in Bordeaux, former Native Scientist project manager for Polish and Wikipedia contributor.

On October 23rd, I made a post asking for questions that Timoran can answer. This is to help kick off the hype and final march towards Legends of Windemere: Warlord of the Forgotten Age. Let's start.
L. Marie asked: What do you do to keep your rage under control? Who among your friends has challenged your ideals? How did you defend your beliefs and still keep the friendship?
- All barbarians are trained to control their instinctual rage from childhood. Our ancient ancestors were true berserkers who were at the whim of their temper. Gradually, they learned methods of meditation and focus to keep this in check. As we grow and learn, we develop the ability to unleash our rage at certain intervals. Every barbarian has his or her own calming focus as well. Some do poetry like my friend Cyrus and others do farming. I prefer philosophy and spending time with friends.
- Nobody has ever truly challenged my ideals. We have great respect for each other since we understand our differences. The closest situation to this would be my own issues with Nyx and her magic. Barbarians are typically fine with magic, but I have always seen the power of casters to be fairly unnatural. Shamans work with nature and priests work with the gods and goddesses, but casters seem to manipulate the energy that permeates us all. So, I see her power as a slight invasion of the soul, which is why she only casts magic on me in emergencies or with permission. Considering we need to depend on each other in battle, I cannot let my beliefs cause trouble.
- I may have already answered this question, but I will add that we have had many conversations about this. That helps us see where we are coming from and find a middle ground. Since I would never force her to give up magic and she would never force me to accept it without question, our friendship is not really at risk.
Colin Noel-Johnson asked: Have you ever found a drink that was too strong for you? Have you ever wished you had a normal non-magical weapon? Who would you rather work with, a Gnome or a caster you didn't know? Do you believe that your every action is controlled by you or is it preordained or prewritten?
- There is nothing that comes to mind. Some have been too bitter or sour for me, but I have yet to meet a drink that I could not handle.
- Many do think it is curious that I have problems with magic, but use a deflection axe. I will admit that I had some early misgivings about this. Yet, I would never trade it away since it was a coming-of-age gift. My parents had it made by Elan Callindor and enchanted by a caster they were friends with before they passed away. To wish for a different weapon would be an insult to them. I feel using it always helps me remember that not all who wield such magic mean to cause harm.
- My interactions with gnomes has been rather limited, so I would rather work with one of them. Solely for the experience. The few times I have met gnomes, it is has been an interesting mix of fear and curiosity. They are a fascinating people who look far into the future and try to make it a reality. Gnomes are very skilled debaters and conversationalists too, which sweetens the pot.
- Ah, this is always a tricky question. Having a God of Destiny makes many, even in our own world, feel like everything is predetermined. You stub your toe when you are fifteen and you blame Gabriel for it. This is what people do when they wish for a scapegoat or want to avoid responsibility. Many who have read the philosophical books know that Windemere is a world of balance. Part of our lives are predetermined by fate while the paths we use to get there and the more minor pieces are driven by free will. There is also a vagueness such as being in a certain place at a certain time to meet someone who 'could be' our beloved. Gabriel has decided that you be there, but it is your own actions that create the final stage. This is especially clear with the champions since we are destined to fight the Baron, but there is nothing in the prophecy to say that we are certain to win. I apologize for this being long-winded, so I will sum up in case I went off topic. Not every action is determined by fate, but the stages and turning points in our lives are. For the world to function correctly, destiny and free will must be in balance.
Victoria Zigler asked: Are you as skilled with other weapons as you are with your axe? Is there a weapon you wish you were more skilled with?
While I have trained with many weapons, I focused on axe-fighting to the point where that is my area of expertise. Most barbarians will have that one weapon they favor since it takes many years of concentration to gain sufficient ability. We also train in hand-to-hand combat, but one could not really say that barbarians specialize. It is more for emergencies in the case of being disarmed or if we wish to take someone alive. Our style is fairly basic with bone-breaking and brute force being the core. There are times I consider learning more about swordplay, but that is only because they are a more common weapon than spears and axes. If I need a weapon in a pinch then that is typically what I would find and my attacks will normally destroy the blade within a blow or two. Still, I know enough to counter and hold my own, which is good enough.

Broken Music
New York film curator Astria Suparak assembled this wonderful program of videos on experimental music in which a variety of artists put familiar instruments and objects to unusual uses, showing that the seen world is alive with sonic possibilities. In Christian Marclay's Record Players (1984) vinyl records are scratched, rubbed together, broken--everything but played on a turntable--and the forest of sounds beautifully matches the dense images of bodies and discs. The crazed intensity of Marclay's live performances is also captured in Ghost (I Don't Live for Today) (1985), for which he strums a phonograph as if it were a guitar. In Kick That Habit (1990), by the Swiss duo Voice Crack, musical images like a bow being applied to a very long string are paired with nonmusical ones like a train or a ski lift, encouraging us to hear everyday sounds as music too. Sonic Youth performs a composition by George Maciunas in Piano Piece #13 (For Nam June Paik) (1999), nailing down the keys of a piano and creating an unusual mix of sounds. In an excerpt from Steina Vasulka's Violin Power (1978), simple violin tones seem to generate wavy alterations in the visuals, heightening our awareness of the vibrations. Some of the excerpts from Barry Schwartz's videos and performances seem too brief, but there are still magical moments, such as dry ice causing a metal disk to resonate. It's a pretty noisy program, but true to the ideas of John Cage, noise is redeemed as music. Chicago sound artist Kean Holtkamp will spin experimental music before the screening, and Suparak will attend. School of the Art Institute, 112 S. Michigan, room 1311, Wednesday, March 22, 4:30, 312-345-3588.

Tamera Mowry, Adam Housley devastated as they confirm their niece was one of the victims at the California bar mass shooting
Alaina Housley, who was missing, was one among the 12 victims who were killed in the Southern California mass shooting that happened at Borderline Bar & Grill.
Actress and daytime co-host, Tamera Mowry-Housley and her husband, former Fox News correspondent Adam Housley, recently confirmed that their niece, Alaina Housley, who was missing, was one among the 12 victims that were killed in the Southern California mass shooting that happened at Borderline Bar & Grill.
According to NBC, the couple in a joint statement revealed, "Alaina was an incredible young woman with so much life ahead of her and we are devastated that her life was cut short in this manner. We thank everyone for your prayers and ask for privacy at this time."
The devastating news comes after the actress had taken to social media to reveal that her niece was missing. To start off she had replied to a tweet on the day of the shooting. The tweet was apparently from Alaina's friend/suitemate. The suitemate had posted two pictures of Alaina, with a description saying, "My suitemate is still missing, she is wearing denim shorts, a blue flannel and sneakers, pls let me know if you know anything #Borderline." Seeing this tweet, Mowry-Housely immediately replied saying, " Ashley this is her aunt Tamera Mowry-Housley. Can you please DM me your information?"
My suitemate is still missing, she is wearing denim shorts, a blue flannel and sneakers, pls let me know if you know anything #Borderline pic.twitter.com/t1nUHneChW— Ashley (@amowreader) November 8, 2018
Adam Housley took to Twitter and wrote that he was "staying positive and praying and hoping and wishing there was more I could do." Seven hours after the teen who just 18 went missing, the star updated on social media stating that she had still been missing. He went to the Los Robles Regional Medical Center around 3:30 a.m. searching for his niece but was barred from getting through. The 18-year-old's iPhone and Apple watch showed her location as still inside the bar long after the shooting happened. The former Fox News correspondent was forced to think of the unthinkable as he confessed to LA Times: "My gut is saying she's inside the bar, dead," he said. "I'm hoping I'm wrong."
We are devastated to report that one of our students, Alaina Housley, was among those who passed away at Borderline in Thousand Oaks last night.— Pepperdine University (@pepperdine) November 8, 2018
Pepperdine University, where Alaina studied, took to Twitter and released a condolence message as well, saying, " Our hearts are broken with the news of this profound loss. We offer our deepest condolences to the Housley family and ask that our community join us in keeping Alaina's family, friends, and loved ones in their prayers during this incredibly difficult time."
This incident at the Thousand Oaks bar is being considered as one of the deadliest mass shootings since Parkland. The attacker, identified as a decorated 28-year-old Marine Corps veteran from the area, was found dead in an office at the bar after shooting himself, investigators said. 12 people were shot and killed in the tragic shooting.

text: I can't help ot but the first thing that I noticed was the city of Caprica itself. What kind of stye does it represent. It reminds me of Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" as much as "Blade Runner" also it has IMO a steampunkish quality. There are airships floating around and the Art Deco style. What do you think?
