2 Miles
Chillin, Photography, Running, Hiking
Year Round
Explore over 5 miles of hiking trails near the 24 acre, crystal-clear Lake Joanis. You'll find varied microclimates like wetlands, mature and young growth forests. This spot is ideal for day hikes and exploration without straying far from populated areas.
280-acre Schmeeckle Reserve is maintained by the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point College of Natural Resources. Everything about it is in pristine condition. You will almost certainly encounter wildlife, and sometimes the wildlife is quite curious. I have had deer walk within five feet of me while I was laying in my hammock.
The Reserve is covered in trails, but the most scenic are the Lake Loop Trail and the Moses Creek Trail. Start at the lake trailhead and follow along the south side of the lake, then take the first right turn onto Moses Creek Trail. This will take you out along a wetlands area with a creek that appears red due to its sediment. Once to the end of Moses Creek, follow the Green Circle Trail back to the trailhead.
However, don't be afraid to leave the trails and jump into the forests. Schmeeckle Reserve is ideal for hammocking and hanging out, so don't rush your hike.
In the winter or early spring, hike out across the ice to Lake Joanis' island. Overnights are not allowed, so no need for a tent or supplies in that aspect.
Always practice Leave No Trace ethics on your adventures and follow local regulations.

Generally, I am kind of a clumsy and accident-prone person. I also am a big sleeper. Those two things paired with a slight case of the ol' pregnancy brain and my currently weak bladder made for an interesting "Seriously, did I just do that moment?" this morning.
I was making my way back to bed from a 5 a.m. bathroom break and I noticed one of my cats on the floor next to my bed. I reached down to pet him and… well, I ended up petting my husband's slippers!!! In the dark room, they had taken on the shape of my cat. Needless to say, they were a disappointing texture compared to my kitty's fur. In my defense, here are the slippers NEXT TO my cat for comparison.
It really made me have to laugh at myself. I really thought those darn slippers were a cat! Sometimes we all take ourselves too seriously, and I think I proved that that's just not necessary. We all do silly things, and we can be a fun source of natural comedy in a sometimes hectic and stressful world.
What goofy things have you been up to lately?

Preston North End have signed Aston Villa midfielder Daniel Johnson for an undisclosed transfer fee.
Johnson, 22, agreed terms during talks with PNE officials and signed a two-and-a-half year contract on Friday night after completing a medical.
He is cup-tied for Saturday's FA Cup clash against Sheffield United having played for Oldham in an earlier round when on loan but he will be at Deepdale to watch his new team-mates in fourth-round action.
Lilywhites manager Simon Grayson said: "We first came across Daniel over a year ago and we thought about signing him last January and have kept our eyes on him ever since.
"We had him watched numerous times when he was on loan at Chesterfield and Oldham and decided we wanted to bring him here and we were delighted he was desperate to come to us.
"There were lots of other clubs who wanted to sign him, but we had the backing of the owner to go out and spend money to secure his services.
"We feel he is a player who can only get better and will add something different in our midfield options."
Johnson will wear the No.24 shirt and his debut is set to come against Crawley Town on January 31 – he is ineligible for the Johnstone's Paint Trophy tie at Walsall next Tuesday.
He is the second Villa youngster to have come to North End this season, Callum Robinson having been on loan in the autumn before being recalled in November.
Johnson said: "I am really pleased to be here. I have heard a lot about the place and the lads from Callum Robinson and I am looking forward to adding my quality to the squad."

The vibrant city of Leeds offers history, culture and attitude. Interested? Read Zoopla's guide to find out more.
To say you are looking for houses for sale in Leeds is not too far removed from saying you are looking for houses for sale in London. Leeds, in West Yorkshire, is a large city and to be successful, you'll really need to narrow your search down. A good place to start is with this guide on the different areas of Leeds and the property you are likely to get there for your money.
Exploring houses for sale in Leeds
Whether you are a first-time buyer looking to get a foot on the housing ladder or a millionaire looking for a gated mansion, there's no shortage of opportunity in and around Leeds. But where do you start? A good a place as any is the kind of property this former industry city was built on.
The core 'property currency' of Leeds is its redbrick 1930s semi-detached houses, which most typically come with three bedrooms, a front and back garden, small driveway and sometimes a garage. However, homes like these are just the starting blocks. As with any major city, the cost of a like-for-like home varies considerably depending on where it is – and in Leeds, suburbs to the north of the centre are much pricier than those to the south.
Whether the same home has been extended and by how much will also determine the cost. Obtaining planning permissions for these most staple of Leeds homes tends to be straightforward; previous owners having set a precedent for the next. That's why you will find many dramatically altered and improved, for example, by an extra bedroom/ bathroom or by way of a loft or basement conversion. And this, as well as how well they have been maintained and cared for will, of course, also impact the price.
Searching for family homes in Leeds
But where do you start your search for some mid-ground Leeds property? Roundhay, a large suburb to the north of Leeds and its neighbouring Chapel Allerton, are not a bad bet. These more affluent Leeds suburbs offer some of the most appealing manifestations of the Leeds redbrick home, alongside a wide range of other property types including Victorian terraces, villas and semi-detached and detached homes built from Yorkshire stone.
The parks, woodlands, canals, good schools and amenities in these particular locations, all set within a mix of wide leafy roads and cobbled streets, are a big draw for families and house buyers with slightly higher budgets. Some of the very large detached houses, particularly by Roundhay Park, have also been converted into flats giving first-timers the chance to get a slice of the 'good life' too. Both Roundhay and Chapel Allerton lie around three miles north of Leeds city centre, which can be easily accessed by car or bus.
There's plenty of options when it comes to new-build family homes in Leeds too. Take a look at Taylor Wimpey's developments at Kensington Park, Rodewelle Green, Sycamore Park and Royds Lane Mount.
Buying in top-of-the-market Leeds
Continue to head north out of Roundhay and you'll arrive at the countryside villages of Shadwell and then Scarcroft where, in some patches, it's difficult to find a home that's not detached with acres of land. Scarcroft and nearby Alwoodley especially are home to the kind of exclusive sprawling mansions that are great to nose at on a Zoopla search.
Finding the village atmosphere in Leeds
If your budget doesn't stretch nearly that far but you are looking for a village feel, Horsforth is a great option. This charming suburb and former agricultural village of Leeds has its own village museum, the greenery of Horsforth Hall Park and several independent pubs and restaurants all set against the fords of the River Aire.
For Leeds' quaintest suburb, the property for sale in Horsforth is a lot more diverse than you might expect. You'll find everything from one-bed flats, two-bedroom terraces, three and four-bedroom semi-detached and detached homes for sale.
If you head down Calverley Lane towards the neighbouring village suburb of Calverley, you'll find plenty of new build homes, many of which are four-bedroom family detached. All property within Horsforth and Calverley is pretty affordable in terms of what you get for your cash, but expect to pay more for homes built in traditional Yorkshire stone and slate.
Seeking homes in inner-city Leeds
It has to be said that residential areas in the more central parts of Leeds, especially to the east and south of the city, have had their fair share of problems. Harehills, where former Spice Girl Mel B grew up, is an area comprised largely of cheap terraced homes, flats and council estates. Its affordable living costs attract a rich ethnic and cultural diversity but unfortunately unemployment and inequality levels are still above average levels for the city.
Hunslet, one of the former centres of the city's industry, is also classed as one of Leeds' inner-city suburbs. In terms of property, the area has a mixture of modern and 19th-century industrial buildings, and 20th century terraces.
Having suffered from the collapse of the manufacturing and engineering industries, the area is now seeing shoots of regeneration in terms of property. If you are looking for flats in Leeds, this is where you will find Clarence Dock, one of the newest developments on the banks of the River Aire.
However, the new build one and two-bedroom flats here went up quickly and a glut of supply made them difficult to sell when the property market took a nosedive during the 2008/2009 credit crunch. Now most Clarence Dock flats are tenanted, rather than owner-occupied.
Holbeck, a district just south of Leeds city centre and its neighbouring Beeston which is partitioned off from the rest of the city by the M621 motorway, are two areas of Leeds which have also suffered from bad press. The majority of homes here are rented social housing and the homes that are sold privately – mainly three to four-bedroom redbrick terraces – are less than half the price they would fetch in Leeds' more affluent suburbs.
But again things are improving. Holbeck Urban Village, a regeneration project, has seen the area's stock of former manufacture, railway and engineering buildings converted into sought-after commercial, leisure and residential living spaces. Many of these listed buildings date back to the eighteenth century. So if a slice of urban trendy is your bag, this could be a good place to a start your search.
Finding student digs in Leeds
Inner city areas to the north of the centre include Hyde Park and Headingley which, being close to the University of Leeds, are largely student areas. However, the cheaper housing here – largely redbrick terraces – also attracts singles and families at the lower end of the budget spectrum. You will find plenty of local shops and amenities in this area, including the Hyde Park Picture House and the open green spaces of Woodhouse Moor.
Paying Leeds council tax
Whichever kind of home you buy in Leeds and wherever within the inner or outer city, if your name is on the property deeds you will be responsible for paying the council tax. What you pay for your council tax in Leeds will be determined by the band your property falls into. Visit Leeds City Council for more information.
Deciding on things to do in Leeds
Leeds is among the top 10 largest cities in Britain, so there's no shortage of things to do for residents – even if it's raining. You could head for one of the city's several museums, such as The Royal Armouries, the Thackray Medical Museum – or to the highly-acclaimed Leeds Art Gallery. Leeds also has cinemas, two bowling alleys, indoor go-karting and a climbing wall.
The city has a choice of really charming old theatres too, including the popular Hyde Park Play House, the Grand Theatre and the City Varieties Music Hall. There's no shortage of shopping either, from the Trinity Leeds Shopping Mall to the more exclusive shopping of the Victoria Centre, and the hustle and bustle of undercover Leeds Kirkgate Market.
There's plenty of outdoor space too. You can walk along the River Aire or head to one of the city's parks, such as at Roundhay, Horsforth Hall or Chevin Forest in the nearby Wharfe Valley.
In terms of bars and restaurants in Leeds, it's always worth casting your net a little further than the city centre. There's a great cocktail bar called East Village, for example, in the Hyde Park area and some lovely old pubs in Calverley.
Finding jobs in Leeds
Like many large northern cities, jobs in Leeds have migrated from largely manufacturing to the services sectors, which is why jobs in retail and call centres are common in Leeds.
The city is also one of the largest financial centres in Britain outside London, so there are plenty of jobs in the financial services sector too. The headquarters of First Direct, Yorkshire Banks and Leeds Building Society are all based in the city.
Leeds is home to four universities and has one of the biggest student populations in Britain. Many graduates choose to stay on after leaving uni, so there's no shortage of skilled workers to underpin the local economy.
Moving in and around Leeds
Leeds Railway Station is the second biggest in Britain, outside of London. East Coast trains take just under 2.5 hours from Leeds to London and run directly into Kings Cross, St Pancras. Leeds is also serviced by Leeds Bradford Airport International, which is just a short drive out of Leeds city centre.
It's easy to get in and around Leeds itself by bus – in fact the FreeCityBus runs on a circular route all day and doesn't charge a penny. For older residents of Leeds this might be some consolation for the fact that all tram services had stopped operating by 1960 – a decision that was later to be regretted.
One of Leeds' strengths in terms of its transport links however, is its road network. Various A-roads meet to form a ring around the city which provides quick and easy links to major motorways. They include, for example, the M1 if you are heading south towards London, the A1 (M) if you are heading north towards Newcastle, or the M62 west for close-by Bradford, Manchester or Liverpool and M62 east if you are heading towards Hull.
Weather in Leeds
Leeds sits on the eastern side of the Pennines and has one of the lowest annual rainfalls of all cities in Britain. Its oceanic climate means summers are usually mild and winters cold but cloudy with the odd layering of frost or snow. Extreme weather patterns are rare.

Avery Dennison Settles SEC Kickback Case
LOS ANGELES (CN) – Adhesive label-maker Avery Dennison Corp. will pay $318,000 to settle an SEC complaint accusing it of bribing Chinese officials with kickbacks, sightseeing trips and cash.
Avery China, based in Shanghai, is an indirect subsidiary of Avery Dennison, a Delaware-based company headquartered in Pasadena, Calif.
From 2002-2005 Avery China's Reflective Division promised or paid bribes to Chinese government officials in exchange for help getting business, the SEC says. And Avery failed to record the payments and gifts in its books, the SEC said.
An Avery manager won a contract to install reflective graphics on 15,400 Chinese police cars by kicking back $41,000 as a "consulting fee," but the company discovered the scheme and stopped it before the payoff, the SEC says.
Paxar Corp., a New York Stock Exchange-listed company Avery acquired in 2007, also is accused of making illegal payments to officials in foreign countries.
The bribes or planned bribes totaled $51,000, in China, Pakistan and Indonesia, the SEC said.
Avery has agreed to pay more than $300,000 with interest to settle allegations of corrupt practices without admitting or denying wrongdoing.
Avery spokesman David Frail told The Associated Press that the company reported the shady practices to the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice as soon as it discovered them.

The painfully inscrutable paranormal thriller "Push" introduces us to a host of characters with various gifts -- some can see the future, some can heal, some can plant ideas, some can make change for a dollar. By the time the credits roll, your most fervent wish is to run into a "wiper" (one who can erase memories).
In an opening-credits prologue, we learn that the U.S. government is continuing to perform psychic experiments started by the Nazis in order to create some kind of super-freaky-powerful army -- or something. Like a lot of things in David Bourla's script, it's left unclear, as are the rules of engagement after the philanthropic-minded telepaths begin to battle the evil mind-benders out for world domination.
What we do know is that telekinetic Nick Gant (Chris Evans) and clairvoyant Cassie (Dakota Fanning) must recover a powerful, experimental drug in the jam-packed streets of Hong Kong before Agent Henry Carver (Djimon Hounsou) gets his hands on it.
Director Paul McGuigan ("Lucky Number Slevin") has never been keen on plot logic, and that might be fine here if he offered anything other than cinematographer Peter Sova's lush images of Hong Kong. Concepts are introduced and immediately abandon- ed.

The mission of The Lewis School is to educate and to empower bright, creative young people whose scholastic achievement and human potential are compromised by unresolved, language-based learning differences related to dyslexia ADHD, auditory processing, and executive functioning. It is to provide these promising students with the most exceptional multisensory educational opportunity possible within a school community specifically attuned and responsive to each student's academic needs, and to the nurture of the whole person. It is to explore and prosper each student's gifts and great promise.
Realizing the gifts and great promise of all learning different persons
Watch our video.
Founded in 1973, The Lewis School is a leading research-based, non-profit, co-educational college preparatory school in Princeton, New Jersey, that serves pre-kindergarten through high school and post-graduate age students impacted by language based learning differences.
The Lewis School is a warm, enthusiastic, child-centered environment where master teachers, learning specialists and ASHA-certified speech-language pathologists tailor their strategies and mentoring to each child's specific academic strengths and weaknesses, aptitudes and interests.
The school, which combines its Clinic for Educational Therapy and Teacher Training, has developed an integrated system of education that replaces rote learning, memorization, and the teaching of scatter skills with systematic, individualized, multisensory processes and strategies that engage the many capacities and senses of the brain in the learning experience.
The Lewis School is ungraded and serves pre-kindergarten through high school age students. It also provides educational intervention and support for high school post-graduates, gap year students, and college students looking to build stronger reading, writing, and study skills. Lewis is fully accredited by the New Jersey Association of Independent Schools (NJAIS), and is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) and The Orton International Dyslexia Society.

The Panorama Hotel, in the Cuban capital, has incorporated new facilities for entrepreneurs in order to boost business tourism.
As part of the strategy to develop that sector of the tourist industry, the hotel is providing WI-FI Internet services starting this month.
That option, experts said, will be available at the Lobby and the Panorama Lounge, as well as in the rooms of the Executive Club on the ninth and tenth floors.
The service will be free of charge for guests, who will need a card that will allow them to surf the web for an hour using their own personal computers.
Generally, this option makes work easier for guests who travel to Cuba for business.
That way, conditions have been created for businesspeople to get a rapid response if trade talks demand so.
Dear Sirs,
I will be staying in your hotel next week.I need to know is it possible to use USB slots on computers in Panorama hotel in order to download pictures from digital camera and then burn them on to the CD ?
I need this information by tomorrow…

Sports students at Moulton College have been given a behind the scenes peek into the working of a professional football club - on and off the pitch.
Staff from Northampton Town Football Club, including Chairman Kelvin Thomas; Club Captain Marc Richards; and representatives from marketing, media, physiotherapy, and fitness were there to inspire the students to consider all possible career opportunities in the sports industry.
Gerald Davies, Deputy Principal at Moulton College, said: "It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to find out about the broad selection of careers available within football and sport as a whole.
"We are grateful that NTFC are so keen to invest their time in our sports stars of the future."
During the event, Marc Richards inspired the students to work hard, he said: "Some people have a perception that being a footballer is easy - it's not - you have to work hard."
Kelvin Thomas explained how he progressed from studying to be a PE teacher to becoming chairman of the League One club.
He also highlighted the similarities between the club's players and the aspiring students. He said: "They're learning the game, just as you're learning your sports subjects at college. Jimmy (Floyd Hasselbaink) is a teacher – he's teaching the players. Their goal is to win football matches and yours is to pass your assessments."
Gerald added: "I really hope that this experience has given our students the motivation they need to succeed on their chosen career path."

One week ago, I pushed a tiny human out of me. I did it. ME. I did it with excitement and then with exponential amounts of fear and then without fear. I did it without pain meds or epidural (even though I shouted for "DRUGS!" at some point towards the end). I did it without passing out or dying, though at many times I thought I might. I did it without killing Jan, the nurse and doctor. And I did it without tearing/needing stitches! SO, yeah.. I'm KIND OF real impressed with myself.
Over the last 2 weeks, we have been more busy with family and activities than ever. Oliver was finishing up 1st grade and soccer, Jan's oldest brother, Jimbo, came to visit for a week (along with his wife lady, Genevieve), and Jos was in the hospital getting heart stints. I KNOW, right? Busy and exciting and stressful! On top of that, I was nearing my due date. I spent everyday doing things outdoors (walking, gardening, yoga) in hopes to work the baby out while Jimbo was in town. But the week came and went, and so did Jimbo and Gen. They left Monday afternoon, and my water broke while I was washing dishes Monday night! I was ecstatic! FINALLY!! BABY IS COMING!! I told Jan and Ollie (who were in the living room watching television) "I think my water just broke" and walked upstairs to check. The looks on their faces was priceless- Oliver was confused why water came out and not apple juice! Jan kept asking me "are you sure? Are you REALLY sure??" And so it went. I called the doctor who said I should go to the hospital. In retrospect, I wish I would have waited at home longer to get a few hours sleep (but since the doctor said I should go in, I went). I walked Ollie to Jay&Josie's and told them what happened- Jay was over the moon excited yelling "woohoo!" as I left. #ADORBS Jan and I grabbed the overnight bag and drove around the corner to the hospital.
When we arrived, it was about 6:30pm and there were no receptionists in the main area we walked through. So, we went to the 5th floor and tried checking in there but all we saw was a phone on the wall. I picked it up and a nurse answered. "Uh..can I come in, please?" I asked (trying not to laugh). The nurse asked what I was coming in for, and I said that my water had broke and I was going to have a baby 🙂 She buzzed us in and I apologized for not knowing the correct protocol on checking in (even though we went over it in our birthing classes #nottheteacherspet). They took me to a room and strapped monitors on my "perfectly pregnant" belly. I was moved to a labor room and started on pitocin to start things along. After a while, the pitocin wasn't needed, and I was contracting more and more. The pain worsened and I had the shivers a bit- so the nurse ran water in the giant tub for me to sit in. It was niiiice! And then I got too hot AND contractions were getting really close… the nurse had me try laboring positions that would help baby lower more, but it hurt SO bad to squat. I laid on the bed dosing off in between contractions (Jan said I had googly eyes when I woke up bc I was deleriously out of it). When the doctor came in and said I could push (FINALLY), it was about 515-530am. I pushed and pushed and swear I popped all the blood vessels in my body. It hurt, guys. It. Hurt. Lots. I can't stress enough how bad the pain was… BUT I mustered up a few breathes, buckled down, and pushed my baby out! Jan watched the entire birth without fainting AND cut the cord. The doctor pulled my baby out of me, and the nurse laid him on my chest. I was in shock. I was sad and happy and overwhelmed. I did it. I FUCKING DID IT. I think I actually said that out loud at one point, too (sorry not sorry).
My boy was a stinky beautiful mess and he was in my arms for real.
We've been home for a week now, and are still working out the kinks. Frank and I have been co-sleeping while Jan has taken to the guest bed. I'm guessing tonight will be the first night we use the bassinet and see how much difference that makes. I don't intend on getting much sleep during this transition. I am very fond of co-sleeping (I know it's a hot-button topic). It is easier to nurse all hours of the night, and I feel baby and I get more Zzz's. I can't have Jan sleeping in a separate bed much longer, even if he is getting all the sleeps. I miss being the little spoon ❤
I want to thank everyone who sent/gave gifts and their support and understanding this last week. Having a baby is work, and adjusting to all things newborn takes time and energy. If I haven't texted/IG'd/FB'd/Tweeted/Snapchat'd/called enough- you all know why. And I'm working on thank-you cards, too!
UNTIL NEXT TIME! #babyFrankberg can be seen on IG 🙂

The allure of pearls explored
September 18 - The Victoria & Albert Museum in London hosts an exhibit exploring the history of pearls through the centuries from the early Roman Empire to present day. Sharon Reich reports.
They have adorned crowns and been worn as a symbol of purity, power and seduction throughout the ages. Now pearls are at the center a new exhibit at London's Victoria and Albert Museum. More than 200 dazzling pieces of jewelry explore the allure of the ocean's natural gem. Co-curator Beatriz Chadour-Sampson. (SOUNDBITE) Beatriz Chadour-Sampson, Co-curator of Pearls exhibit, saying (English): "Unlike any other gem, pearls have continuity in being worn over centuries, if not thousands of years and they were worn not only in western Europe, but also in the east, so east and west - pearls are a global phenomenon." The exhibit goes back in time with a rare collection of molluscs from the Qatar Museums Authority. At one time the Gulf was the only place to dive for pearls - making it an incredibly important part of trade for countries like Bahrain and Qatar. Hubert Bari will be Director of the future Pearl and Jewellery Museum in Qatar. (SOUNDBITE) Hubert Bari, Curator of pearl collection in Qatar and Future director of the Pearl and Jewellery Museum in Qatar, saying (English): "The highlight of the exhibition is these beautiful necklaces made of natural pearls from the Qatar waters. They are exceptional in quality and in shine. Today it is extremely difficult to find these kind of necklaces, there is no more pearl fishing, it is just a little anecdote if some people find pearls sometimes." Other highlights include jewelery from the Roman Empire as well as Asian pearls in a variety of unusual colors. The "Pearls" exhibition will be on display through January 2014.

The papal gateway to provence
The papal gateway to provence At the gateway to Provence, Avignon is a magnificent reminder of the medieval period when it was the capital of Christendom. Artists have been coming to Provence ever since in search of the "magic light" and aroma of lavender. Just a bit over two hours from Paris by TGV, Avignon is more than papal history. It's art, activity, life. Stop at a terrace café along the place de l'Horloge, a long square in front of the hôtel de Ville. At the top end, take a ride on the "Belle Epoque" carousel. Avignon is also a city of culture. A theater festival created by actor/director Jean Vilar brings over 120,000 spectators. Dance, music and drama come to life in events staged at historical monuments and in the streets. Although there are now two train stations in Avignon, most travelers will arrive at the brand new Avignon TGV train station at the outskirts of the city. Frequent shuttle bus service is available from the TGV terminal into the city center to the Avignon Centre train station, taking about 10 minutes. Learn more about Avignon
Known for "grace," sophistication and style
Known for "grace," sophistication and style Let's say you've been traveling through France's quiet countryside, stopping at lavender fields and sampling local wines. "This is relaxing," you say to yourself, but it would be nice to wear that hot little number you've packed in your suitcase. Where to go ? For a dose of fast cars, high rollers, haute couture and hot yachts, look no further than Monaco. This tiny principality is the second-smallest country in the world ; only the Vatican is more diminutive. Bordered on three sides by France, the fourth – the sparkling Mediterranean. This is where the ultra-rich and uber-stylish come to stay, play and bank. Monaco is one of the world's only countries to not levy income tax on individuals. Even if you're neither rich nor famous, or plan on opening a savings account, there's plenty to do – and that includes people watching. Learn more about Monaco

San Francisco is one of the most beautiful, cultural cities in the world, but it also has an ugly underbelly — homelessness.
There are 6,514 homeless people living in The City, according to the latest count in January, though advocates say the number is much higher — and growing.
Roughly 33 percent are chronically homeless. About half live on the streets or in vehicles and the rest are in shelters or transitional housing.
There has been progress in dealing with the problem, thanks to the Housing First and Care Not Cash programs. More than $1 billion has been spent on the homeless in the past eight years, yet chronic homelessness exists. The toughest cases remain the most expensive to take care of, and there are few long-term solutions on the horizon.
As we reported on Monday, 477 people are costing The City more than $20 million in emergency medical services in one year. Despite that, 34 of them died over the course of the year. Moreover, 10 chronic homeless have cost $2.3 million in repeated ambulance and emergency care as well as detox and psychiatric services.
Better options must be found than the cycle of picking them up, treating their medical problems, detoxifying them, then dumping them back on the streets to begin the cycle again.
You would think that the people wanting to be the next mayor of San Francisco would recognize this as a significant enough issue to address on their campaign websites. But Michela Alioto-Pier, John Avalos, Joanna Rees, Phil Ting and Leland Yee have little or nothing to say about what they would do to improve the situation. The other top-tier candidates provide a variety of suggestions.
Bevan Dufty proposes providing so-called "wet housing," where alcoholics would be provided alcohol along with counseling to wean them from their addiction. He also advocates providing services for San Francisco's 80,000 young people between the ages of 16 and 24 in order to prevent future homelessness.
Tony Hall advocates replacing what he calls "nonprofit homeless industry providers" that are "scamming the system" with "organizations whose business is charity, not welfare."
David Chiu wants to focus homeless task force efforts, integrate law enforcement with social services and provide more philanthropic and corporate support for housing and services.
Dennis Herrera advocates transferring control of the Homeless Outreach Team from the Department of Public Health to the Mayor's Office. He wants to create city-run drop-in centers for the homeless and provide better coordination with the court system.
Ed Lee wants to create new housing for homeless seniors, veterans and families as well as continuing to fund nonprofits providing shelter, housing and services. But he also wants to hold them accountable for results.
Jeff Adachi says that in addition to providing basic needs, the key to fighting poverty and homelessness is "improving job opportunities in both the public and private sector."
And while all the candidates have some form of proposal, the gritty day-to-day issues are much more of a reality for average San Franciscans. As we reported in the past, long-term homeless in Golden Gate Park say they will never accept services and simply want to remain in the park.
Task forces, service coordination and holding nonprofits accountable are proposals based on the current failing system. We are asking our mayoral candidates to provide us a vision that will have tangible results for the millions of tax dollars we spend to care for our homeless.

Brief explanation of our project.
We received 5 Chromebooks to support learners with additional support needs. We have a large school roll, and as a result have a high number of children requiring additional support to access the curriculum and cope with integration into school and classroom. Also, the Highland Deaf Education Service is based in our school and we have many deaf children travelling to our school to receive input from specialist support staff. The Chromebooks will be used to support our learners and ensure they are included and able to participate in lessons.
How has the technology enhanced learning and teaching within your school/department?
At a recent INSET, teachers were shown how to use the Chromebooks and access Google Apps. Staff were enthusiastic about how this could benefit their teaching practice and could see the future potential available to them in delivering lessons through Google Classroom. In my own classroom, the Chromebooks have been fully utilised in helping children access websites and apps (such as Teach your Monster to Read and Oxford Owl) to support their learning. The Chromebooks are light and easy for young learners to carry and use at their desks and the touchscreens seem to be more intuitive for learners who are lacking mouse skills!
The deaf children report that the Chromebooks are "very handy" for them as they can easily transport them from their classroom to the Deaf Base to continue their work. They can use the Chromebook to quickly search for information to further their depth of knowledge as our deaf children often miss out on the incidental learning that occurs during class discussions.
The Chromebooks are so portable that they have been perfect for our pupils who require "time out" from the usual interactive busy classroom. They can be taken to our "quiet room" where learners can continue to work upon their lessons in a quiet, peaceful environment.
Your comment will be posted after it is approved.

Marty and I got a call from our realtor last Monday. He wasn't calling to say he'd found an acreage for us to go check out, he was calling to say he might have buyers for our condo. Our condo that we hadn't really even talked about listing yet. Our condo that we are gonna take a loss on nomatter what since we bought at the peak of the market. Our condo we thought we'd have better luck renting out than selling if and when we find an acreage to purchase. We were pumped! This was an "out of the blue" opportunity and we really had nothing to lose. We had two and a half evenings until the "showing." Immediately, I wanted to make a list of things that needed to get done and in what order we should do them. Top of my list was CLEAN!!! I heard somewhere that the kitchen is what sells a house. If the woman loves the kitchen, the house will sell. I wanted to focus on the kitchen and the bathrooms. Marty, well, Marty wasn't too worried about cleaning. Top of his list? Getting a bed frame for the bed in the master bedroom. Like, what??? We've gone almost three years with no bed frame and suddenly, it is priority? We finally agreed that Monday night would be "decluttering" night, Tuesday night would, apparently be a trip to Ikea and Wednesday until 7:30pm would be cleaning.
The whirl wind began with us trying to make our living space look bigger. First we dragged the treadmill from the living down to the garage. Then spent the rest of the night clearing out closets and shelves. I'd like to say we carefully put every item we own in a special, clutter free space, but the reality is, we hid a lot of stuff under the spare room bed. Okay, I hid a lot of things under the bed. I also stuffed random clutter into desk drawers and the cab of my truck. A few things found thier way into the washing machine and the dryer. By the time we went to bed Monday night, the surface area of our condo looked spacious and clutter free.
Tuesday, Marty dragged me begrdugingly to Ikea. Don't get me wrong, I love Ikea, I really do, but NOT when I am in a hurry, not when I have a condo I am trying to get ready to sell and not when I am with someone who cannot make decisions. Marty was hell bent on getting a bed frame but once he had me in the store he started showing me living room chairs and coffee tables. He believed that new furniture would sell our place but all I could think about were the dust bunnies and dog hair that needed sweeping and mopping up. We spent the entire evening at Ikea and finally left with a new coffee table and a bed frame. I gotta admit, the bed frame did look damn good, once it was all put together.
Wednesday, we had until 7:30pm to finish prepping our condo for the big showing. I had planned to leave work right away, which would get me home at 4pm. My plan was to divide the house in two, each of us tackling a floor and cleaning steady until we had to leave the premises. En route from the school to home, Marty called. He had found a chair on Kijiji was driving across the city in rush hour to get it! What????? So while he was off on a freaking chair hunt, hours before our condo was being shown, I began the process of scrubbing the entire place! Priorities!!!
We left the building at 7:30. We took Scout to a dog park and killed time. Our realtor called at 9:45, said the showing was a success and he'd keep us posted.
After all was said and done, our condo got cleaned, cleaner than it has been in 3 years, we got some new furniture, I'll admit, it really does look good and we got a very desirable potential offer on our home! Different priorities, that what's makes Marty and I a great team!!

But there were movements, things going on behind the scenes of which I was unaware. My mom was fervently praying for her youngest child. She knew I was heading down a path that was away from God. There was also a desire in my heart for my life to be significant. And, as much as I tried to snuff it out, there was sensitivity to what was right and wrong. Little did I know that, as C.S. Lewis famously described his own conversion, the great fisherman in the sky had his hook in my mouth and was reeling me into the boat.
I do not remember anything that the Rev. Westerfield preached that week, but I do remember that at one of the services this eleven year old boy came under great conviction of his sin, realized he was on his way to hell, and wanted nothing more than to "gain Christ" (Phil. 3:8). That time is such a sweet memory for me, for it was as if light filled the vast and dark cavern of my soul. And from then on I wanted nothing more than to serve my Savior. Oh how I loved him and his Church from that day!
Yet, as I think back on that evening, the events that led up to it, the events that transpired afterward, and even of the other people who were present, so many questions arise. If God answered the prayers of my mom and worked mightily in my heart so that I would trust in Christ, in what way did my faith and repentance comprise free decisions on my part? If the Spirit of God placed within me a desire to please God, in what ways could my subsequent desires, decisions, and actions to obey God be free? If all these decisions were free on my part, in what way can we say that the sovereign God was governing me and my actions through his providence—that salvation was ultimately of him? And finally, what about other people who were present, those who heard the same messages and did not respond? Maybe some of them never responded. Are their actions free? Was God also governing them?
Molinism posits middle knowledge as a way of bringing together God's sovereignty and man's responsibility to answer such questions—and doing this in such a way that claims to preserve libertarian human freedom. The Molinist would say that little Tommy Barnes, in 1973, was governed by God in a strong way that he was certain to trust in Jesus Christ, but at the same time, his faith and repentance were not determined, and in such a way, at the same time, he could also have rejected Christ.
Since many readers are not familiar with Molinism's history, let's take a look at how it arose.The Origin Of Molinism
Luis de Molina was a sixteenth century (born in 1535) Spanish Jesuit Counter-Reformer.[1] The Roman Catholic theologian was both committed to God's "prevenient grace, which stirs and solicits the will of man…[that] may be either accepted or resisted by the human will"[2] and also was troubled by the sense that God's infallible foreknowledge, implicit in those who followed the approach of Thomas of Aquinas and explicit in the Protestant Reformers, denied libertarian freedom.[3] Molina described this freedom in this way: "…given the same disposition and cognition on the part of the intellect, the will is by its innate freedom able to will or to dissent or to neither will nor dissent."[4]
The problem Molina faced can be illustrated in this manner. If God infallibly knows that Tommy Barnes will go to a special service in May of 1973 and trust in Jesus Christ as Savior, then Tommy Barnes will certainly do that. As a result, there is some sense in which Tommy is unable to avoid this, which would seem to deny libertarian free will. Yet, if Tommy truly were able to make another choice that night at the special service, then God's foreknowledge is not infallible.
Molina and modern Molinists have rejected Open-Theism, Simple Foreknowledge Arminianism, and Calvinism in favor of a fourth approach, one that includes "middle knowledge." This doctrine must be understood in light of the categories theologians used in Molina's day. Both followers of Aquinas and Reformed Theologians distinguished between natural (or necessary) and free knowledge.[5] In the 17th c. Reformed theologian, Francis Turretin, for example, spoke of both natural and free knowledge—arguing these encompassed all the knowledge God had.[6] Some Reformed theologians still speak of the logical moments of God's natural and free knowledge.[7] Molina argued for a third kind of knowledge God possessed: Molina and his followers have set forth three logical moments in the life of God, which can be diagrammed as follows: [8]
[Logical] Moment 1: God's natural knowledge of everything that could be.
[Logical] Moment 2: God's middle knowledge of everything that would be.
Divine Decree[9]
[Logical] Moment 3: God's free knowledge of everything that will happen in the actual world."Let's look more closely at these three kinds of knowledge according to the Molinist model.
A Closer Look At Molinism
God's natural or necessary knowledge is his knowledge of all that could happen, in other words, the possible worlds that could be. This knowledge:
…refers to that part of God's knowledge which he knows by his very nature…. Included here is God's knowledge of all metaphysically necessary truths and all possible truths. Thus natural knowledge, properly conceived, is that part of God's knowledge which could not have been different from what it is. It follows from this that the content of God's natural knowledge is independent of his will…. [Natural knowledge is] logically prior to any act of will on God's part….[10]
Thus, what is being asserted in God's natural knowledge is that, "He knows all possibilities, everything that could happen…. These fully formed possible scenarios are generally called possible worlds. There is an infinite upon infinite number of possible permutations of how things could have been."[11] What is more, "a central feature of God's natural knowledge is that the content of this knowledge is essential to God; indeed this is why such knowledge is natural. It does not depend on God's will, but necessarily belongs to God's omniscience."[12] In other words, God, by his very nature, has this knowledge.[13]
The second kind of knowledge that theologians of the Middle Ages, as well as Molina, posited is God's free knowledge—his knowledge of the world that he did make and all that will happen, all that will be actualized in that world. "The free knowledge of God comprehends everything that has/is/will happen in this existent and contingent world."[14] It is called "free" since it is based upon God's free decision to create the world that is and not another. It is also called free because it "has its source solely in his mind and will."[15] In other words, free knowledge:
…refers to that part of God's knowledge which he knows by his creative act of will. Included here are truths which refer to what actually exists (or will exist). Since free knowledge comes from God's creative act of will, it follows that the content of that knowledge is contingent. It includes only metaphysically contingent truths, or truths that could have been prevented by God, if he had chosen to create different situations, different creatures, or not to create at all. Thus, free knowledge can be characterized as dependent upon or logically posterior to God's will.[16]Molina and Molinists assert that God freely chose to "actualize" the world that is, and, "Of the infinite possibilities available to God, He was under no compulsion to choose this one. Yet He chose a world that contains free moral agents—angels and humans—who make genuinely free decisions"[17]—namely, the world that is. "According to the theory, middle knowledge is similar to natural knowledge in that it is prevolitional, or prior to God's choice to create and therefore its truth is independent of God's determining will. Likewise, it is similar to free knowledge in that the truths that are known are contingent (not necessary) because, in the mind of the Molinist, they are dependent on creaturely will."[18]
William Lane Craig explains how the three kinds of knowledge relate:
For example, [God] knows whether Peter, if he were placed in certain circumstances, would deny Christ three times. By his natural knowledge God knew in the first moment all the possible things that Peter could do if placed in such circumstances. But now in this second moment he knows what Peter would in fact freely choose to do under such circumstances. This is not because Peter would be causally determined by the circumstances to act in this way. But God knows which way Peter would freely choose. God's knowledge of Peter in this respect is not simple foreknowledge. For maybe God will decide not to place Peter under such circumstances or even not to create him at all. Middle knowledge, like natural knowledge, thus is logically prior to the decision of the divine will to create a world.[19]Given only natural knowledge and free knowledge, according to the Molinist, there is not sufficient explanation of God's knowledge to posit why he made the world he did and why or how his manner of creation preserves libertarian human freedom and also how it successfully addresses the issue of pain and evil (why did God create a world in which there is sin?). So, Middle knowledge is affirmed, which is God's comprehension of all that would happen if certain things were different or if certain things were true.[20] In other words, "God's middle knowledge comprehends everything that would happen if God had been willing to decree its occurrence."[21]
To put it another way, this involves "God's knowledge of possibilities involving human choice (the 'counterfactuals of freedom' as they have been called), "[22] i.e. all counterfactuals of (libertarian) free choices."[23] This knowledge allows God to know that if he made a different world than what he did, what would happen in that world.[24] So, for example, if God made a world in which the Jews and Jewish leaders of the first century had ignored Jesus, God knows what events and decisions would come out of such a world. He also knows if he made a world in which those same Jewish leaders and Jews had accepted Jesus as Messiah, what events and decisions would come about as a result. God also knows what would have happened with Tommy Barnes had the United Methodist Church in Belleville, Indiana not invited a special speaker to hold special services in May of 1973.
"The content of God's middle knowledge can be seen as a virtually infinite number of propositions of the form, 'If person P were in situation S, then P would freely perform action A.'"[25]
Kenneth Keathley adds: "An important note to make…is that God does not perceive what free creatures would do, but rather He conceives their choices within Himself. That is, God does not look forward in time to ascertain what decisions [people] would make; instead He innately knows all free choices due to his omniscience."[26] Keathley adds that "the source of that knowledge is not the creature…[but] God Himself."[27]
So, this is an introduction into the view known as Molinism. Coming into contact with this view has been the catalyst for my going back and revisiting divine sovereignty and human freedom. In our next blog I will briefly touch upon some strong points of Molinism and also introduce some problems.

Keathley, Salvation, chapter 3, argues for what he wisely calls soft indeterminism, an indeterminism that is not absolute. Rather, choices, he recognizes, are limited by character—in the case of humans—and character in turn is shaped by previous choices. In this book I will argue for soft determinism.

[17] Keathley, Salvation, ch. 1. As will be shown below, I believe that the Molinist position cannot consistently argue for such a free creative act of God and such free works of providence given their commitment to indeterministic human freedom.
[18] Laing, "The Compatibility," 457. Andrew A. Postiff, "The Theological Viability of Middle Knowledge" ( A Paper Presented To W. Combs For Seminar In Soteriology, Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary, 2006), 4, adds: "Natural knowledge does include possibilities, but middle knowledge further limits these possibilities to those which are in harmony with the free wills of creatures. And by the point that God's free knowledge has been 'settled,' there are no more open possibilities, but God knows all circumstances and all the decisions that free creatures will make in them."
[19] Craig, The Only Wise God, 130.
[20] This knowledge for God is posited based upon all the subjunctive conditionals in Scripture. Also, it is asserted that since God is omniscience, this omniscience would include all possible actions or outcomes that could happen if certain things were true.

[22] Helm, "Molinism," 2; Campbell, "Middle Knowledge," 4-5.
[23] Campbell, Middle Knowledge," 5.
Keathley, Salvation, 35: "A counterfactual is a conditional statement that has two distinctive features: (1) It involves a condition that is contrary to fact….; and (2) it expresses a truth that belongs to this actual world."
Craig, "The Middle Knowledge View:" 120: "Counterfactuals are conditional statements in the subjunctive mood…."
[24] Craig, "Rapprochement:" 147, further explains: "…[God] knew what Peter would do within any possible order of circumstances, then, given the decision of his will to bring about a certain set of circumstances, God knew what Peter [will] in fact do."
[25] Laing, "The Compatibility:" 457. Laing adds: "It should be noted that the actual existence of P or the occurrence of S or A is not necessary for God to have this knowledge" according to the Molinist position.
[26] Keathley, Salvation, 39.
[27] Keathley, Salvation, 39. Craig, "Rapprochement:"147, cites Molina himself: "[God] saw in his own essence what each such will would do with its innate freedom were it to be placed in this or that or, indeed, in infinitely many orders of things—even though it would really be able, if it so willed, to do the opposite…."
Postiff, "The Theological Viability:" 4-5, adds that the Molinist asserts, "…God knows each creature so well that he knows what free choice the creature would make in any possible circumstance." He then explains: "In the literature this is called the doctrine of supercomprehension."
These assertions, in part, are set forth to answer the grounding objection set forth by some opponents of Molinism, namely that there is not sufficient ground for God to have middle knowledge in regard to all future truly free human choices and actions.

The Unexpected Joy of Cold Tea
#9 in Reflections of Life's Unexpected Joys
The Unexpected Joy of Drinking Cold Tea.
April 2008
I do not enjoy drinking cold tea that is meant to be hot. Iced tea on a hot day is a treat. Hot tea on a cold winter day is a treat. Hot tea that has become cold is not a treat. But that is exactly what I drank yesterday and truthfully, it was an unexpected joy. My afternoon ritual is to have a cup of tea and some time of silence while the children are resting. I anticipate this time of day. I plan what I will do with these moments of silence. There are always more activities that I desire to do than time to do them. Therefore somedays it is piano playing with sips between songs, sometimes it is reading, sometimes it is cleaning (which I actually enjoy doing). On this particular day it was an opportunity to sit at the computer and write a letter to my mom and sister. I was eagerly waiting for this time all morning. When the time arrived I settled into my chair with my mug of tea and got started. And then it happened. An interruption to "my time". These are hard to take.
A friend came to the door, we chatted, my daughter got out of bed and that was the end of my solitude. When my friend departed, I returned to the computer with my daughter. I finished the letter, sipping my cold tea and holding my daughter on my lap. For a few brief moments I was tempted to feel very put out that "my time" had been robbed from me. My tea was cold and my solitude destroyed. However, I was happy that my friend had dropped by and my daughter was so cute and so happy to spend time with me that I decided to enjoy having her squirm around on my lap, chattering to me while I attempted to concentrate on letter writing.
There is certainly much to be gained from solitude and having times that are simply for yourself. These times are refreshing and needed, but if you are like me it is easy to become very selfish about these times and the other tendency I have is to begin to feel like I need more and more. I tend to crave even more alone time and pretty soon I'm always trying to find ways to escape the company of my children or those who drain me. As with everything there needs to be balance and wisdom.
As I sipped my cold tea I pondered these things. I had a choice. I could have stomped upstairs, poured out my tea and grumpily went about spending time with my daughter, all the while feeling cheated and annoyed that my much anticipated alone time was interrupted. Or I could decide to cuddle my daughter, answer her chatter and enjoy the fact that she is still four and likes to be cuddled. I could finish my letter with company and consider that my "treat" for the day. I do not always choose the latter, but on this particular occasion I did and my day was much better because of it.
So while I do not wish to sip cold tea on a regular basis, there are things in life that are much more important than a steaming cup of tea during "alone time". Part of being loved and being loving is being interrupted at inconvenient times. There is joy in this, if we can move past the initial feeling of irritation.
That's quite interesting that you suddenly acquired a taste for hot-tea-turned-cold. I have to agree with you prior feelings, though. I really don't link drinking the last few sips of my hot tea because it's cooled down. I don't really even like it when it's just luke warm. I think many people feel this same way!

As you've probably heard by now, the European Union has announced that they plan to revoke and seize all .EU domain extensions that are registered by UK individuals and UK registered businesses.
If you've not picked up on this provocation yet, have a read of the following articles:
EU PDF Announcement to Stakeholder
Personally, I do not see the logic behind this move. It has to be a leveraging move or a punishing move, I do not see an inbetween. Whatever the case, it's going to cause a lot of uncertainty and frustration for thousands of companies. There is going to be many thousands of UK companies who have investing in and branded their online presence on .EU domains, ultimately, they will be forced to migrate to another domain.
Nevertheless, I do see some opportunities the search community can capitalise on. For the search agencies and SEO freelancers like myself that means additional work in the pipeline in the form of migration strategies and the recovery work for poorly planned and implemented strategies gone wrong or left too late. Prior to writing to this post, I had a think about how this could pan out and the moves agencies would take.
I would foresee, the domain registrars are going to be notifying .EU domain holders within the next couple of weeks. That's probably when the interest will start growing, search agencies will probably start posting migrations strategies on their blogs to drum up some leads. Before long, I would have thought that many established search agencies will have a few domain migrations on their books.
I suppose the key factor in all of this is time itself. The powers that be within the EU will start seizing domains on the 30th March 2019 or shortly after. I would imagine there's tiered process put in-place and possibly extension periods. Large-scale migrations are going to take months to fully execute. When I say large-scale I mean an inbound link portfolio of several thousand or more domains. Thinking that through, it's not a lot of time really. Considerations being lead time, contract signed, drawing up the strategy and implementation. The bulk of the time will go into outreach, for that I mean reaching out to all domains with links pointing the clients.
Moving on, thinking of external factors that will go along with the .EU domain seizure announcement. I bet the domain squatters will be out in forces snapping up likely candidates for migration. To sell them on at hugely inflated prices. I bet there will be numerous legal cases mounted at the EU to try and reverse this decision. Even after domain are seized legal cases will be mounted, I wonder if legal firms are preparing for some extra caseloads? Especially those in the IP (Intellectual Property) space.
According to this article there's in excess of 300,000 .EU registered domains registered by UK entities, although many of those will be holding domains. In real terms there's scope for around 30,000 domain migrations. That's a heck of a lot of workload for the search agencies and in-house teams, those poor souls in the outreach departments are going to absolutely hate this in a few months from now.
As for the strategies, there are many factors and considerations in-play that no two migrations will be the same. It's certainly not as straightforward as standard domain migrations, in normal domain migration scenarios the existing domain would be 301'd to the new domain for years to come. As previously mentioned the bulk of the work would be outreaching, a strategy would need to be in-place for that alone. For example, if you set a priority order of DA (domain authority) alone, you'd be neglecting relevance.
Execution date would need to be a leading consideration factor, examples being how many inbound domains has your team managed to switch to the new domain? 50%, 75%? Where's the over-the-fence line going to be set? Then, what is the plan for the existing domain whilst you wait for seizure? 301 redirect or a holding page? Personally I would go choose a holding page.
You could also have a strategy in-place for the actual site migration, have a think about would you start to canonicalize URLs to the new domain first? Which order would you implement the canonicals? Maybe pages lower down in the searchers intent order or lower money-making search terms.
Other considerations are; email awareness campaigns, social awareness, rebranding, marketing material, loss of customer confidence. Jeez, it could cost some companies millions of pounds/euros. You can see now, why your team would clearly need a strategy. Ideal scenarios, teams with domain and site migrations under their belt. I'm thinking of putting together a migration consideration checklist if that would be of some resource for some teams? Feedback welcome?
Final thoughts, hopefully the EU will reverse this decision. It's not going to end well for both sides, it will cause frustration, job losses and divides. Whoever thought this through clearly didn't have scope of the ramifications. Which makes you think, what else has been thoughtlessly pushed through the Brexit process? #scary
