I'm kind of in love with the fact that this last day of our 31 Day challenge ends in a Five Minute Friday response. Why? Because it ensures us a clean break. A breath of goodbye. A chance to move on without going on and on.
All month we've talked about encouragement, and while I pray that I've touched you in some small way each day, you've been the hero in this story. The outpouring of love and support for these long days has been completely overwhelming and not at all expected. Although, shouldn't it have been? Expected? I don't think I could imagine any less from each and every one of you.
Since my gift cannot in any way surpass what you have already given to me, I'll leave you with this:
Hope.
The thing about hope is that it doesn't matter where you are, what challenges lie before you, and how long it may take to get you there. Hope gives us courage to get to the other side. Hope waits while we sift through the nitty-gritty. And hope provides a pathway even when our eyes can barely see what's coming next.
We did it, friends. Together. Thank you. I pray you find encouragement in each of your days, that you seek out hope, and find the courage to be brave in whatever challenge you may face.
Stop
xoxo, k.

Many of us can remember when we were kids, how special Halloween could be. There was something truly special about getting dressed up in the best costume possible, going out there and trick or treating until you had so much candy it was hard to carry, and trudging back home exhausted but with a huge smile all over your face.
As adults with kids of our own now, we can’t help but noticing that just like Christmas, Halloween has been over-commercialized almost to the point of killing it completely. It’s time to fight back. Here are some tips for breathing life into Halloween 2017:
Costumes:
Get the mentality right now; costumes are for the adults too! Get your own costume, and get everybody else around you into the spirit of dressing up in costumes as well. Don’t be afraid to wear sexy halloween costumes if going to parties for adults, it’s one day of the year you can truly let your hair down; take advantage of it!
If You’re Hosting:
One area where people really can take up the level of their halloween decorations is by adding some spooky audio. A few well-placed devices with fully charged batteries can add an extra dimension to your Halloween ambiance that will have the whole neighborhood talking about it right through the New Year, and into the year to come!
Stories:
This one is a long-standing tradition that has been gathering dust. Whether you have a group of kids, a group of adults, or a mixed group, just sitting around and trading scary stories is an incredible way to get in the proper Halloween spirit, and imagine, it doesn’t cost a red cent! Bonus points if you go to the internet and try to find the scariest stories you can to take the storytelling up another notch.
House Parties:
In this author’s humble opinion, Halloween shouldn’t be a bar night any more than Christmas should. Consider organizing house parties for after the kiddies are sleeping off their sugar highs. This will really allow you to go deep with the decorations and plan activities that are much better done in a home setting, for example, the storytelling mentioned above.
Let’s hope that this year, your Halloween can be the best one you’ve experienced in years, maybe due to ideas in this article, or even other ideas that inspire you. At any rate, may your Halloween be full of chills and thrills and still tranquil!To create an instance of the class User, you can use a statement such as the following:
details = new User("Wolfgang", "w.a.mozart", "composer")
Or you can create an empty object, like this:
details = new User()
and then populate it later, like this:
details.forename = "Wolfgang" details.username = "w.a.mozart" details.password = "composer"
You can also add new properties to an object, like this:
details.greeting = "Hello"
You can verify that adding such new properties works with the following statement:
document.write(details.greeting)I’m personally pursuing Data Analytics. It’s the kind of job where you don’t work on a single project for too long (so you avoid burn out) and it’s a very independent career (possibility to work from home). I found that avoiding burnout and leaning into my introverted tendencies was my primary motivation for selecting my career path and I couldn’t be happier with what I do. It’s different for everyone, but from my experience I’m glad I recognized those traits in myself and oriented my life accordingly.

But ultimately, just do what you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your lifeThis essay argues that the second nuclear age in Asia is likely to be highly dangerous and unstable based on lessons from history and implications from theory.
There are theoretical grounds for deep concerns about the nuclear arena in Asia that are borne out in preliminary evaluation of current events. What is often referred to as a second nuclear age poses many dangers in this region in particular. Some of these concerns stem from a deeper understanding of the sources of instability from the Cold War: major conflicts of interest, intense conventional rivalries, and manipulations of risk and competitions in resolve. Others draw on international relations theory to identify sources of conflict and uncertainty. Thus, traditional concerns about the dangers of multipolarity have analogues today, as does the increasing complexity in the strategic realm with the development of a wide range of new “strategic” capabilities. Today, the question of what constitutes a strategic escalation is much less clear than in the past. These problems, endemic to the contemporary global order, are particularly prominent in Asia. Intense conventional rivalries exist in a number of areas, often the product of repeated wars and militarized crises. Several states are engaging in the same sort of dangerous coercive diplomacy that was riskiest during the Cold War. States interact in polygonal relationships rather than dyadic ones (e.g., U.S.-China-Russia, India-Pakistan-China, and U.S.–China–North Korea triangles). These trends make Asia likely to be a dangerous region, and one not easily pacified by international diplomacy. Rather, tacit restraint and conservative foreign policy goals are warranted.
The outlook for Asia’s nuclear future is very negative, even in the absence of specific assertive policies by China or other countries.
Additional efforts should be made to educate the region regarding current trends in Asia to reduce unintentional spirals.
The U.S. should be cautious and conservative in pursuit of its regional foreign policy goals, recognizing that multipolar nuclear spirals have the potential to raise great costs.

Part of doing this work well means understanding and reflecting on how our cultural identities influence our practices as well as students’ cultural identities and the related impact on their learning. Cultural consciousness is having an awareness of one’s own cultural identity and views about difference. Within the context of higher education this includes the ability to learn with and build on the varying cultural and community norms of students and their families. It is the capacity to understand the within-group differences that make each student unique, while celebrating the between-group variations that make our country a tapestry. This understanding informs and expands inclusivity and celebration of diversity in a teaching environment.
Kick-Off (Fall): The kick-off day is intended to provide participants with an overview of the program (including an understanding of tools that will be used), an opportunity to engage beginning reflections of their participation in the program, and an introductory overview of some frameworks used to think about intercultural development and engaging across difference. The format is interactive and informal, with meals, snacks, and materials provided.
Dialogue Process (Fall): The dialogue process consists of eight 1 ½ hour lunches over the course of the fall semester. We will meet weekly (with a few breaks included) to develop dialogue across difference. A dialogic process is characterized by a format that encourages active listening, development of deep understanding, and a framework that fosters risk-taking and vulnerability. All sessions will be an invitation to participate in the prompts of
