In chapter 1 we have seen Joshua assume the leadership of the nation of Israel following the death of Moses as the Israelites were encamped east of the Jordan River.
In chapter 2 we have seen the two spies being sent to spy out Jericho and their meeting with Rahab.
In chapter 3 we have seen the miracle of the 2,500,000 Israelites crossing the Jordan River at flood stage on dry land with their flocks, herds, and possessions.
In chapter 4, we have seen two memorials being erected as a reminder of what the LORD had done in bringing the Israelites into the land of Canaan. It is important to remember things that the LORD has done.
We see –
Joshua 5:1 And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward [i.e. on the west side of the Jordan River], and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea [i.e. by the Mediterranean Sea], heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
Joshua 5:2 At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time [i.e. It does not mean that some men needed to be circumcised a second time. This is referring to the ones who were born in the wilderness but had not yet been circumcised.].
Joshua 5:3 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
Joshua 5:4 And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
Joshua 5:5 Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised.
Joshua 5:6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
I remind you of –
Numbers 13:1-3 – 1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them. 3 And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.
Numbers 13:17-21 – 17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain: 18 And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many; 19 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds; 20 And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes. 21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
Numbers 13:23-33 – 23 And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it [i.e. carried it] between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs. 24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence. 25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days. 26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land. 27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it. 28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there [The descendants of Anak were giants.]. 29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan. 30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. 31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. 32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature. 33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak [according to Deuteronomy 9:2 they were great (or strong) and tall], which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
Numbers 14:1-11 – 1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. 2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness! 3 And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt? 4 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt. 5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel. 6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes: 7 And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land. 8 If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey. 9 Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not. 10 But all the congregation bade stone them with stones [i.e. all the congregation said to stone them with stones]. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel. 11 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me [i.e. how long will they not believe Me?], for all the signs which I have shewed among them?
Numbers 14:19-38 – 19 Pardon, I [i.e. Moses] beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now. 20 And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word: 21 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD. 22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times [Although "ten times" could be understood literally, it more likely means a great many times.], and have not hearkened to my voice; 23 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it: 24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it. 25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea. 26 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 27 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me. 28 Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: 29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me, 30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. 31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised. 32 But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness. 33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness. 34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise [i.e. you will know my rejection]. 35 I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die. 36 And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land [i.e. a bad report concerning the land], 37 Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD. 38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
Back to Joshua 5:7
Joshua 5:7 And their children, whom he [i.e. the LORD] raised up in their stead [i.e. in their place], them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way [i.e. along the way, on the way].
Joshua 5:8 And it came to pass, when they [the use of the plural "they" indicates that Joshua did not personally circumcise all the men] had done circumcising all the people, that they [i.e. the men who were circumcised] abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole [i.e. healed].
To incapacitate the entire male population at a time when they had just crossed into enemy territory was in itself an act of faith. Militarily, it would not seem to be the thing to do at a time like this. What if the enemy were to attack? Their obeying the Lord's commandment demonstrated that they were trusting the Lord to protect them while they were healing from the circumcision.
Without God's protection, this would have left the Israelites vulnerable to an attack from their enemies. Circumcising this many men and boys would have taken considerable time, and it would be followed by a healing process which might have lasted for a week or two before all of them were healed.
Remember that Joshua and Caleb would have been the only two men over 60 years of age still alive in Israel at this time. All the rest had died in the wilderness. In addition the only men in Israel who were previously circumcised had been circumcised in Egypt. None had been circumcised during the previous 40 years after they left Egypt. This means that every male 40 years old and younger out of 2,500,000 people or about two-thirds of the entire male population, perhaps 1,000,000 or more men and boys, would have to be circumcised at this time. Without God's protection, this would have left the Israelites vulnerable to an attack from their enemies. Their trust in the Lord is demonstrated by the fact that they obeyed His commandment.
Joshua 5:9 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day [lit. a rolling. Naming this place Gilgal suggests that it was because the Lord had said "This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you."].
Gilgal was one of the places where Samuel would eventually judge the people once a year. It was also the place where Saul would be anointed as king over Israel.
Next, we see –
Joshua 5:10 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.
Joshua 5:11 And they did eat of the old corn [i.e. they ate some of the produce] of the land on the morrow [i.e. on the day] after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn [i.e. the parched grain] in the selfsame day [i.e. on the very same day].
Remember that it was harvest time when they crossed the Jordan River; so the crops would have been in the fields and readily available to them. Remember also that the inhabitants of Jericho would have been shut up in the city of Jericho for their own protection because they feared the Israelites.
Joshua 5:12 And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn [i.e. after they had eaten some of the produce] of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit [i.e. of the produce] of the land of Canaan that year.
Although God had provided manna for 40 years, it was no longer needed. So, God stopped sending it.

Theme: Be reconciled with God
Brothers and sisters, on this Ash Wednesday we enter a season of penance and mortification for forty days that precede Easter being called to reconcile with God. Through symbolic ashes we are reminded that we are sinners created from dust always in need mercy and forgiveness from God cf. Genesis 18:27. To share in his resurrection we have to be cleansed from sin.
The spiritual practice of applying ashes to our forehead is sign of atonement. cf. Jeremiah 6:26. In these forty days we are reminded to abstain, fast, pray and do acts of charity. This is the opportune time to make our bodies obey our conscience.
Also read: The observance of lent and the simple explanation of what it is
First reading: Joel 2:12-18
Through Prophet Joel, the Lord God calls us to return to Him with all our hearts through fasting, weeping and mourning. We are told to split apart our hearts, not clothing. In ancient days many tore their clothing as a sign of repentance. But, while they complied with tarring their clothes their hearts of stone had not changed! Joel invites them to let go of their worldly ways and embrace holiness, practice sincere repentance and changing their hearts. Lent reminds us that God is gracious and merciful; slow to anger and abounding in love. He will not punish us if we are sincere and willing to turn away from sin. He is not a God of punishment but of love.
Prophet Joel insists that holiness is not just for a few people but for all who have faith in God. His message is assemble the aged, gather the children and even the breast fed infants. Joel goes further to propose the impossible that let the bridegroom leave his room and the bride her canopy. This is a very powerful command that includes everyone! We all need to beg the Lord for mercy upon humanity. When God relents and forgives, humanity can again inherit the Promised Land as in the time of Abraham. The practice of reminding the Lord God of His promises is to draw His pity upon us who are weak sinners. In doing so He will not forget us and no one will mock us saying, 'Where is your God'? For our Lord God keeps His promises. He saves those who walk in righteousness and are in communion with Him. In this era of the joy of the Gospel, we need to gaze our eyes on him who alone can save.
Second reading: 2Corinthians 5:20-6:2
In this reading St. Paul is appealing to us to be reconciled to God who has sent his only begotten Son to die for us on the Cross. He who was without sin took our place and was treated as a sinner, so that we might become righteous in the eyes of God. What a horrible death we deserved; the death that Christ endured for us is beyond telling. All this was possible because of God's divine love for us. Again today God reminds us that he has heard our cries being raised to him in Heaven and is willing to secure our salvation. Now is the time for us to show our appreciation towards this act of love by walking in righteousness so that we may inherit salvation. This is a wonderful invitation that we should not let pass by us.
Gospel: Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18
How do we walk in righteousness? Jesus answers this question in today's Gospel that we do so by not continuing to live in our worldly ways but by embracing a spiritual mind and maturing in Christ through his grace. Jesus warns against hypocrisy common to those who want to be pious so that they may be seen by others. He insists that they have already received their rewards through those who admired them instead of the reward from God the Father in Heaven.
During this Lenten Season, our piety must manifest privately as privileged time between God and ourselves. We must experience a transformation that is beyond mere appearance. This is possible if we walk with Christ daily from the moment we rise up until the time we retire in the evening. Equally, when we sacrifice by giving to the Church or by reaching out to someone in need, our left hand must not know what our right hand is doing. It ought to done privately and then we forget about it. When we are generous in sharing, then a generosity will be shown to us in due course. Important instructing is that our right hand must not know what our left hand is doing. Meaning, our right hand is giving while our left hand is waiting to receive its benefit.
If we decide to pray even this should be done in private to avoid those who want to applause. Such a behavior will make us receive earthly rewards by those praising us for our demonstrations. Instead when we pray, we ought to go into the inner room, close the door and pray to God the Father in private so that he who sees in private will reward accordingly.
When we opt to fast, we do not need to overdo it to the extent that we look weak and sick for others to notice we are fasting. We have to fast to the degree we can manage. We have to always stay cheerful and looking healthy so that no one apart from God will know that we are fasting. Then, God the Father who sees everything in private will reward us. This is intended to assist us to be reconciled to God! The Lenten season is a privileged time when humanity is able to reclaim its lost dignity given the fact that the glory of God is a person who is fully alive.
As we enter the Lenten Season, we need to remember these words and put them into practice. We have to turn back to the Lord with all our hearts, we have to continuously seek for reconciliation and we have to do all well and reach out to many quietly because that is what God expects from us. Holiness is not manifested in anger but in joy. Lent teaches us to be joyful through repentance and believing the good news.

Tommy and Lina got married
Our friends Tommy and Lina got married at the end of July, on a day forecasted to be drenched in torrential rain, but which surprised us all by mostly being hot and sunny. Anna and I had the privilege of photographing it all (or as much as we could). Anna did the hair and makeup for Lina as well.
We had an awesome day, full of old friends, new friends and inspiring aquaintances. I learned a lot too, both about the logistics of weddings and about photography. After having seen Anna sweat over her RAW-files I was very glad I shot my part on film.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte will accept an FA charge for misconduct following his sending off against Swansea.
The Blues boss was given his marching orders in the 43rd minute of the Premier League clash following an argument with the fourth official and referee Neil Swarbrick.
After ranting and raving on the touchline with the scores level at 0-0, Swarbrick sent the Italian off — his first dismissal in English football.
Accepting the charge, he said: "I think it is right to accept it and pay the fine"
Conte is set to be be fined £8,000 for his first offence and avoid a touchline ban.
Asked if he will change his future behaviour, the Italian added: "I will try to avoid suggesting this to the fourth official. I hope in the future I will tell my players to go to speak to the referee."
Conte apologised for his actions after the game, which Chelsea went on to win 1-0 thanks to an effort from Antonio Rudiger, and revealed what he said to the referee.
"The problem is I was frustrated because the opponents were wasting time," explained the Chelsea boss.
"I tried to tell this to the fourth official not only once but a few times.
"But I have apologised because I did the wrong thing.
"I have been in to see them after the game. It's right to speak and apologise with them.
"I don't know if it was fair [to be sent off] but we have to respect this decision.
"Sometimes there is a lot of frustration like in this case but sometime you can make a mistake and I did this."

When a language dies the world loses a part of its humanity. Time Travels Through Sound is a documentary project that aims to bring music sung in languages that faces extinction into the future. There are about 7000 languages in the world, and only 85 of these languages are being spoken by the world's majority. Every 14 days a languages becomes extinct.

the story
On April 25th the Tuvan throat singing band Huun Huur Tu performed at the First Congregational Church in Cambridge, MA. Having experienced this mesmerizing polytonal music in person for the first time the creator of TTTS, Deniz Aydemir, decided to learn Tuvan throat singing – essentially how to sing two notes at once. As a student of Berklee College of Music in Boston at the time he decided to consult the professors about Central Asian music and how to do throat singing while continuing his personal research. That same research led him to find out about language death because Tuvan happened to be an endangered one. Being the songwriter and multilingual he is, Deniz saw that there was a clear correlation between language death and his not being able find enough information regarding the throat singing technique. Lastly he thought of the following question that would later on impel him to travel for over a year in Asia with a camera in search for unique music; "What happens to the music after its language dies?"
Having landed on the perfect a name for the project Deniz Aydemir decided to launch a crowdfunding campaign. Firstly he sold his guitar, and bought a camera and audio recording equipment. During March he shot and edited the Kickstarter with Enver Perez. He flew to Almaty, Kazakhstan a couple of weeks after the launch, and the campaign ended successfully.
During the second half of the year Deniz traveled across Kazakhstan, China, Mongolia and Russia and filmed for more than a month in each country. He learned Kazakh and Tuvan, as well as throat singing and doshpuluur (Tuvan lute) along the way.
Starting the year in Vietnam, Deniz spent the remaining months of filming for TTTS in the northernmost and southernmost prefectures of Japan in search for Ainu and Ryukyuan music. He also teamed up with the Turkish humanity magazine Magma Dergisi, and wrote front page articles about Okinawa and Japan on their April issues of two consecutive years (2016 & 2017).
Returning to Turkey with more than a year worth of videos, music and photos in hand, Deniz collaborated with video editor Suphi Uzun, and contemporary composer Uğurcan Öztekin to create the feature film 'The Elements'.
After a meeting in Sausalito, CA Manuel "Manoli" Tsingaris joins the team as a consultant.

Five Unique Experiences in South Australia
When working with your Destination Specialist on planning your Australian itinerary, there are a few golden nuggets you absolutely must add to your itinerary—from Adelaide and the state of South Australia! Exciting South Australia activities include the many wineries (200+ within a 2 hour drive of Adelaide!), a tour of the sports stadium at the Adelaide Oval, and enjoying various cafes and innovative restaurants throughout the state. Allow me to introduce to you some unique South Australian things to do that you'll be thankful for adding into your travel itinerary:
1. Adelaide Gaol Haunted Tour – With unique architecture and a rich history with ghosts and spirits, this is not only a place to get a chilling thrill, but the Gaol housed some of the state's most notorious and dangerous criminals for over 140 years! This tour guides travellers through the hallways (and cells) of South Australia's first inmates. The penitentiary was in operation from 1841 to 1988, making it Australia's longest-run prison.
2. Take a walk through a 'sunken garden' – South Australia's Umpherston Sinkhole is truly a beauty to experience in person. You can walk down into the sinkhole or along the hanging vines; its large size and depth makes for many great viewing vantage points. This sunken garden was once a cave formed through dissolution of the limestone—making for an incredible interior garden from bottom to top!
3. Walk through, or stay, in an underground town – Over 100 million years ago, Coober Pedy was covered by ocean. After the water receeded, it became a desert. The town itself is almost entirely underground – the structures are referred to as 'dug-outs' – as a way for the locals to combat the heat. Tourists can stay in an underground hotel or check out the shops for great opal souvenirs (Coober Pedy is Australia's opal capital). You can also take an opal mine tour; or above ground, watch the region change colour under the sun!
4. Cycle your way through a wine trail – If it's a winery holiday you seek, cycling through wine paths along some of South Australia's many wine regions allows you to take a pit stop at various wineries, farms and restaurants along the path where you can sample fresh foods, sip wine, taste artisan cheeses and more. Some vineyards also offer wine-making courses too, so you can learn to not only make your own Australian blend to bring back home but learn to pair your wine with compatible foods.
5. Check out prehistoric surroundings – Camp, self-drive, or enjoy a train journey or scenic flight, through remarkable landscapes such as Flinders Ranges, Wilpena Pound and Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre. See awe-inspiring ancient mountain ranges that have eroded over millions of years, rare native animals and bird species, granite peaks, ancient gorges, rock formations and incredible Aboriginal rock art.

Tips On Choosing The Right Health Plan - Today, there are more Kentucky health insurance plans to choose from than ever before both all across the United States and in Kentucky. Whether you are interested in a Kentucky individual health insurance plan or a Kentucky family health insurance plan, residents of Kentucky will want to choose their health plan based on the quality of that plan and the quality of the health insurance companies.
Of course, one will also need to choose their health plan based on whether or not they can afford a certain policy. While the insurance rates have been set by the state insurance department, different types of Kentucky health plans can cost different amounts. However, quality Kentucky health plans should be of utmost importance to the citizens of Kentucky who are looking for family health insurance or individual health insurance coverage.
|kentucky health insurance
Kentucky has some great health insurance providers to choose from such as Anthem and Humana, both recognized as very reputable health insurance companies, and both offer quality Kentucky health plans. However, all insurance providers for Kentucky will offer different benefits with their health plans and some insurance companies may not offer the benefits that you need in a health plan. Therefore, you will need to compare different Kentucky health insurance providers' health plans so that you can choose the right health plan and insurance provider for you. A kentucky health plan will likely need to meet various requirements to be fitting for your personal situation.
When choosing a health plan, you will want to look for a plan that meets your budget, provides services when and where you need them, provides the benefits that you are looking for, provides the options that interest and aid you, provides quality care and much more. When choosing the right Kentucky health plan, you will also need to take into account whether it is an individual health plan, family health plan or a group health plan. Each of these health plans will need to meet specific needs that you have to be the best health plan option. Working with an experienced independent insurance agent can make finding the best Kentucky health plans a simple and quick process.

There is no boundaries if you truly want to achieve something. Another proof of this theory is the remarkable
Wintergatan Marble Machine, built by Swedish musician Martin Molin. It operates with 2000 marbles, complex wooden structure, and even LEGO parts!
It took 14 months to build it and let's all agree it is absolutely amazing! Besides looking like an odd music-loving creature from timburtonish cartoons, this Marble Machine is actually making great sounds. The mechanism powers
a kick drum, bass, vibraphone and some other instruments.
While Martin Molin, the creator of this wonder, is working on the next generation of the Marble Machine that could be used for concerts and easily moved, you can check out the whole process of making this incredible instrument on the Wintergatan website.

PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGEDear John Dewey community members and prospective parents:
Our school has a vision to enhance leadership, character and service of young individuals to become responsible and productive members of society. The institution represents educational excellence in all aspects of its operation. Our school philosophy commits us fully to the notion of a holistic, rounded education, which stands on the roots of the arts and sports as well as academics. We are equally committed to the notion of our students becoming adults who have a moral commitment to making our world a better place as reflective, caring, knowledgeable and principled people. No doubt, the God is creative in creating every child as unique, and we know each of them is special and important. We remain non-selective in our admissions policy, confident that it is not the intellectual ability alone that determines an individual's worth or contribution to the betterment of our world.
Earlier in 2014, when I took up the role of Principal, I reviewed the School's areas of strengths and weaknesses. The data produced from this extensive review showed us to be a school with many strengths, including an outstanding sense of community, and an unusually strong level of commitment and involvement from our parent body. The data also revealed that, following a time of very rapid expansion in school numbers, it was now time to focus more strongly on quality issues, particularly pertaining to the strength of the academic and sports programs.
In the pages of this website "About Us" you will see many strategies and goals that we have set ourselves in the realisation of our vision. I have absolutely no doubt that we shall achieve our goal, and will be able to demonstrate to ourselves and the public through objective data that JOHN DEWEY has moved to another level of quality and achievement.
I am grateful to the many staff, students and parents who have had either direct or indirect input into what the school has achieved and continues to achieve further milestones. I am pleased that we are already making more than satisfactory progress in the achievement of our goals. The students themselves must remain at the centre of our vision, with the understanding that our schools exist for one single purpose; to enable each student to achieve their best possible future.
I invite and welcome the input, energy and passion of all our stakeholders in the realisation of our Vision, Mission and Goals.

ÇaFleureBon Fragrant Awakenings: Annick Goutal Songes (Isabelle Doyen/Camille Goutal) 2006 + Reawakening My Senses Perfume Draw
Waiting Vladimir Volegov
A few years ago, my sense of smell was diminished by medication. For many months I had a vague feeling something was wrong. There were a few bottles of fragrance I had enjoyed, but perfumes seemed to lose their beauty by almost imperceptible degrees. I had to abandon them for a time. Food also was unappealing, flavors were flattened, depressing. Thankfully I was able to discontinue using the troublesome medication. My sense of smell gradually returned. I then realized what had been so wrong. I was missing the smells that make life vivid and real.
On the Garden Vladimir Volegov
I was starved for scent, so I looked for it everywhere. I returned to my kitchen. I chopped fresh basil leaves, rosemary sprigs, lemons, and shallots so I could inhale them, cook them, and eat. I baked bread and made soups so that their smells would fill my home. I searched for flowers and sniffed roses, nasturtiums, even dandelions. I pruned tree branches and pulled up handfuls of grassy weeds, then held their broken edges to my nose.
Flowers Near The House Vladimir Volegov
I returned to wearing my perfumes. They were beautiful again. But they were not enough. I felt there had to be more for my newly awakened nose. I wanted to be intoxicated by scent. I remembered, and then dreamed, of the jasmine flowers and vines that grew in the garden of my childhood home.
The red couch Vladimir Volegov
I turned to bottles of scent for relief. Jasmine essential oil was so lovely it brought tears to my eyes, but it was not a proper perfume. I thought of Jean Patou Joy and hoped it would fill me up. Joy is beautiful, but I found it is not a fragrance I can wear. I sampled an unfamiliar perfume, Serge Lutens' A la Nuit, but it was not my jasmine. It was not my scent-memory.
Annick Goutal Perfume bottles (photo by Hernando at the Madison Avenue Boutique)
As I hunted for fragrance, a sight-memory surfaced: a row of gold-capped bottles with a slender ribbed shape, hung with paper labels. They had stood unassumingly, uniformly on a perfume counter. I had ignored those fragrances, but now I remembered and felt obsessed. I needed to find them, even though those bottles were thousands of miles away and years in the past.

Spare moments were spent searching online. I read about many perfumes without feeling moved to smell anything. On shopping trips I looked in all the wrong places. I was desperate to find those remembered bottles. And then I read, here at CaFleureBon a reverie titled Sweet Dreams Are Made of This — Annick Goutal Songes. The description of this white and yellow floral scent, housed in a beautiful globe with a moon-shaped stopper, made me believe I would find the perfume I imagined, one that would fulfill my hopeful longing.
Daniela Ovtcharov Dream
Little did I know that Songes was exactly that: a fragrance born of dreams and means 'dreams' in French. Guest Contributor Felicia Hazzard wrote in April 2010, "For me, Songes is all about letting your dreams manifest into reality and doing so with style and grace. The sweetness of this fragrance and the magic of the bright moon in the sky will keep hope alive for you and turn the impossible to the possible."
I needed to smell Songes right away. I knew Songes was available in the beautiful moon bottle. Then I learned that Songes is available in the Annick Goutal flacon. That was my bottle, the one I remembered. A few days later I smelled Songes for the first time. It matched my imaginings of my idealized jasmine memory, yet it was much more.
Yellow Bouquet Vladimir Volegov
Songes is well-known as a tropical beauty. It can be a reminder of far away places, of time spent on sandy beaches near frangipani flowers. For me Songes is an olfactory home, the scent of white and yellow flowers, and the memory of the garden I played in as a child. Songes is perfume in the best sense: the scents of the real world sculpted, married, and heightened into fragrant magic. My mind and sense of smell were awakened to something utterly beautiful and beyond expectation when I first smelled Songes. I had found my first niche fragrance in the world of Annick Goutal perfumes.
Notes: frangipani, tiare, jasmine, incense, vanilla

As the satanically auspicious date of 6/6/06 came and went last week, New Yorkers could be forgiven for suspecting the end of the world might well be nigh. Hospitals reported that mothers were rescheduling Cesareans so that children would not be burdened with numerologically unsound birthdays. The American edition of the Times of London, the new tabloid from media dark lord Rupert Murdoch, premiered on the same day as the remake of The Omen (also a Murdoch production) to somewhat better reviews. Yankees manager Joe Torre, faced with an injured list reading Jeter, Matsui, Sheffield, Rivera, and Giambi, likely considered penciling War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death into the lineup against the Red Sox. Downloaders wondered if they were damned to hell when they discovered that an advance copy of Paris Hilton's debut single, Stars Are Blind, leaked on the Internet was actually kind of catchy. (The Book of Revelation prophesied this, noting that the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.) Ann Coulter accused Jersey's 9/11 widows of the deadly sin of self-promotion, then went on the Today show in a slinky black dress to flog her new book, Godless. Leszek Kuczera, a 59-year old homeless scavenger, who'd been burning insulation off electrical wires to get the copper inside, was arrested for starting the Apocalypse that burned fifteen warehouses in Greenpoint last month. While New York's politicians attacked Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff like a seven-headed beast and argued over whether Nebraska or Wyoming was less likely to be hit by terrorism, Canadian Mounties uncovered a plot to blow up that country's Parliament and chop off the prime minister's head. Somalia's capital fell to Islamic fundamentalists with ties to Al Qaeda, tilting the globe one inch closer to a possible Armageddon. The nation's born-again leader, President Bush, responded to this new international crisis by redoubling his efforts to ban gay marriage. And an instantly slim Janet Jackson appeared at the CFDA awards looking fabulous in a revealingwell, by most people's standards, anywayred gown, inviting speculation that she'd cut a deal with the devil.

The educated Kshatriya of the Axial Ages
So which of these two dominating castes lead and drove the adaption and development of yoga and karma? The answer seems to be that even if some of the scribal class of Brahmins wrote the texts, then many of the new controversial ideas emerging were introduced by the increasingly dominant Kshatriyas (Chatterji 2007, Obeyesekere 2002). As neither of the two social hegemonic groups of descending Brahmins and ascending Kshatriyas could rule society on their own, they were forced reluctantly to deal with each other socially, politically and ideologically. So this would have been a factor in explaining why heretic discourses like yoga found their way into the writings of some Brahmin clans: it was forced upon them by necessity, by the quest to stay in power, by their dominant political partner caste. Based on this I assume that the strata who voluntarily and out of interest – the first amateurs (lovers of) – took up new practices and ideas and later called them yoga, were mainly the Kshatriyas.

Mary Daly : biography
Mary Daly (October 16, 1928 – January 3, 2010) was an American radical feminist philosopher, academic, and theologian. Daly, who described herself as a "radical lesbian feminist", taught at Boston College, a Jesuit-run institution, for 33 years. Daly retired in 1999, after violating university policy by refusing to allow male students in her advanced women's studies classes. She allowed male students in her introductory class and privately tutored those who wanted to take advanced classes.
Views on transsexualism
In Gyn/Ecology, Daly asserted her negative view of transsexualism, writing, "Today the Frankenstein phenomenon is omnipresent . . . in . . . phallocratic technology. . . . Transsexualism is an example of male surgical siring which invades the female world with substitutes."Daly, Mary, Gyn/Ecology: The Metaethics of Radical Feminism (Boston, Mass.: Beacon Press, pbk. [1st printing? printing of [19]90?] 1978 & 1990 (prob. all content except New Intergalactic Introduction 1978 & prob. New Intergalactic Introduction 1990) (ISBN 0-8070-1413-3)), pp. 70–71 (page break within ellipsis between sentences) (New Intergalactic Introduction is separate from Introduction: The Metapatriarchal Journey of Exorcism and Ecstasy). "Transsexualism, which Janice Raymond has shown to be essentially a male problem, is an attempt to change males into females, whereas in fact no male can assume female chromosomes and life history/experience."Daly, Mary, Gyn/Ecology, op. cit., p. 238 n. "The surgeons and hormone therapists of the transsexual kingdom . . . can be said to produce feminine persons. They cannot produce women."Daly, Mary, Gyn/Ecology, op. cit., p. 68 (n. 60 (at end) omitted).
Daly was also the dissertation advisor to Janice Raymond, whose dissertation, published in 1979 as The Transsexual Empire, is critical of transsexualism.
Brittany Shoot criticized Daly as transphobic for these views.
Before obtaining her two doctorates in sacred theology and philosophy from the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, she received her B.A. in English from The College of Saint Rose, her M.A. in English from The Catholic University of America, and a doctorate in religion from Saint Mary's College.
Daly published a number of works, and is perhaps best known for her second book, Beyond God the Father (1973). Beyond God the Father is the last book in which Daly really considers God a substantive subject. She laid out her systematic theology, following Paul Tillich's example. Often regarded as a foundational work in feminist theology, Beyond God the Father is her attempt to explain and overcome androcentrism in Western religion, and it is notable for its playful writing style and its attempt to rehabilitate "God-talk" for the women's liberation movement by critically building on the writing of existentialist theologians such as Paul Tillich and Martin Buber. While the former increasingly characterized her writing, she soon abandoned the latter.
In Gyn/Ecology: The Metaethics of Radical Feminism (1978), Daly argues that men throughout history have sought to oppress women. In this book she moves beyond her previous thoughts on the history of patriarchy to the focus on the actual practices that, in her view, perpetuate patriarchy, which she calls a religion.
Daly's Pure Lust: Elemental Feminist Philosophy (1984) and Webster's First New Intergalactic Wickedary of the English Language (1987) introduce and explore an alternative language to explain the process of exorcism and ecstasy. In Wickedary Daly provides definitions as well as chants that she says can be used by women to free themselves from patriarchal oppression. She also explores the labels that she says patriarchal society places on women to prolong what she sees as male domination of society. Daly said it is the role of women to unveil the liberatory nature of labels such as "Hag", "Witch", and "Lunatic".

In the coming weeks or months Palestinians will likely put an end to the latest peace talks, just as they did in 2000 and 2008. Israel will of course be blamed; however, the reality will remain the same as it has been for the last 20 years: The so-called two-state solution is far from a solution but rather is a recipe for disaster.
Even if by some miracle Secretary of State John F. Kerry and the U.S. administration are able to push through a historic compromise, it may only aggravate the conflict, creating an extremist and belligerent entity on the hills of Judea and Samaria (commonly referred to as the West Bank) overlooking Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Ben Gurion Airport.
With Israel's major population centers in close missile range, a new confrontation would be almost inevitable, with dire consequences.
It doesn't have to be this way. If we admit the failure of the two-state formula, we could slowly and realistically move toward peace and reconciliation.
The time has come to replace the old two-state paradigm with a new and more achievable goal: the two-stage solution. The first stage is ensuring security, stability and prosperity for both Israelis and Palestinians — what I call peaceful non-reconciliation. The second would be a gradual move toward a final resolution of the conflict, consolidating peace and political rights by bringing Jordan back into the picture and dividing functions, not territory.

The Lyrics of Alan Jay Lerner
The award-winning team of Alan Jay Lerner and his composing partner Frederick Loewe gave us some of Broadway and film's most beloved musicals (the most successful are represented in our video). Along with crafting memorable lyrics, Lerner also wrote some of the shows as well.
In later years, after Loewe's retirement from the theatre, Lerner collaborated with other composers including Burton Lane, with whom he created On a Clear Day You Can See Forever. Shortly before his death, Lerner had begun to write lyrics for Andrew Lloyd Webber's production of Phantom of the Opera, but had to bow out after managing one piece called Masquerade.
Lerner shares his colorful story of life on the stage in the fascinating autobiography, On the Street Where I Live.

In this interactive chart we have the top 20 goalscorers in Premier League history. And Sergio Aguero.
Each line indicates the number of goals scored by that player on the y axis and the number of years taken to score them on the x axis.
The 14/15 season is only 10 games old and thus any comparisons between the number of goals Aguero had scored by his 4th year in the league and the number of goals the other elite strikers had scored in that time frame will be unfair. That said, only Shearer, Cole, Henry, Fowler, Ferdinand, Sheringham and Wright scored at a quicker rate than Aguero has. All things being equal Aguero will have scored more goals by the end of his 4th season in the league than Cole, Sheringham and Wright had scored by the end of their 4th seasons.
Aguero is in elite company.

I was only five years old when I saw Savage Steve Holland's career killing comic gem Better Off Dead. Of the many quirky characters which came and went in it, my two personal favorites were Ricky Smith (Dan Schneider) and most of all, Charles De Mar (Curtis Armstrong). Though years later Charles De Mar ultimately proved to be a reworking of his character Booger from Revenge of the Nerds, the impression Curtis Armstrong left on me as a youth has only grown funnier as I've aged. To this day, the film's funniest scene for involves the pseudo druggie De Mar snorting jello up his nostrils as a substitute for cocaine while sitting in the high school cafeteria. Say what you will about the rest of Better Off Dead's surreal comic attitude and footing in the 1980s, Armstrong's moments are still gut busting in their unparalleled hilarity.
After making his presence known in the Moonlighting series, providing voice work in American Dad! and several smaller roles throughout the years including Ray and Southland Tales, the Oakland University based Michigan actor has maintained a prolific and consistent career as a gifted character actor. This past May, Armstrong made a special trip from his hometown in California to appear at the Redford Theater for a special anniversary screening of the film which put him on the map, Revenge of the Nerds.
Playing a total of three times over the weekend from Friday through Saturday, Armstrong attended all three shows for a Q&A and meet-and-greet. On Saturday, however, attendees who paid extra for access to a special VIP event prior to the movie not only received autographed posters and pictures with the man himself, but people were treated to a catered lunch bar with all kinds of foods to choose from! Further still, anyone who bought a VIP ticket was entitled two beers to go along with the one-hour Q&A prior to the showing of the film at 8pm. This was the first time I can recall seeing a food bar and beer being served in the theater which set the tone for the event wonderfully. It's not often a meet-and-greet with an actor is this well furnished with food and drinks.
Needless to say, it was an all-day event that was well worth this frequent Redford Theatergoer's time! Friendly, personable and easy to talk to, getting to share words with Armstrong about his role in Better Off Dead as well as asking what he thought of Southland Tales was a most exciting moment in this filmgoer's life! While the film itself was only shown in DCP digital, Revenge of the Nerds still holds up pretty well and the audience cheered everytime Armstrong appeared on screen.
Armstrong of course had many stories to tell, most of which involving how his film career began with Risky Business and how adamantly against the idea of Revenge of the Nerds he and his fellow cast members were at the time before finally coming around to the finished result. He also talked quite a bit about Better Off Dead, in particular it's writer-director Savage Steve Holland being a kind of cross between 'John Hughes and Luis Bunuel' and what it shame it was that his career in film ended with the one that began it.
Finally everyone got to take pictures with the man and place early orders for his forthcoming autobiography Revenge of the Nerd: Or…The Singular Adventures of the Man Who Would Be Booger along with a custom autograph to be added to the book when it ships later this year. There were also more custom T-shirts and posters available for the event with Armstrong on the front, though curiously the poster bearing his signature didn't include him for some odd reason. In any event, to call the man gracious and generous would be putting it mildly, as many actors and actresses over the years rarely ever are this open and warmly welcoming of their audiences and fans. It was a joy to meet him and I'm absolutely looking forward to his autobiography!
