Located in Mirror Lake State Park (608-254-2333, dnr.wi.gov/topic/parks/name/mirrorlake) just three miles south of Wisconsin Dells, the Cabin in the Woods not only offers good access, but it also includes some extra adaptive equipment. And it's not like it costs and arm and a leg to rent it either, as it was built by the Telephone Pioneers of America and donated to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, so that everyone can enjoy the great outdoors.
This 700-square-foot cabin is located in the Cliffwood Campground, and it offers a magnificent view of Mirror Lake. There's plenty of room to park in front of the cabin, with ramped access up to the screened-in front porch. Out front there is a paved pathway to a picnic table and a grill — both of which are accessible.
The cabin features wide doorways and plenty of room to maneuver a wheelchair on the hardwood floors. The large great room has a full-sized sleeper sofa and a dining table with four chairs. The compact kitchen is furnished with a refrigerator, a microwave, a roll-under sink and a cook top.
The bedroom has an extra wide doorway, with a curtain instead of a door. It's furnished with two twin hospital beds, with an access aisle between them. There are also two single cots, so the cabin can accommodate up to six people.
The bathroom has a wide door, with plenty of room to roll-around. It's furnished with a roll-in shower with a fold-down shower bench. A roll-under sink is also included. As an extra bonus, a sling lift, a rolling shower and commode chair, and a toilet riser with attached grab bars are also available to guests.
Cooking utensils, bedding and towels are not provided, but at just $30 per night (plus a $4 reservation fee), you just can't beat the price. The cabin is reserved for people with disabilities and their friends and families, and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources keeps close watch to make sure the cabin goes to people who really need the access features. Applications for reservations can be obtained by calling (608) 266-2181.
There is also a paved path out to the fishing pier, that has lowered rails to make it easy for wheelchair-users to drop their lines. It's a great option for those who don't have a boat. Next door, there is a boardwalk down to the accessible boating dock. The boardwalk continues past the dock out to some benches on the water's edge, where you can enjoy the beautiful lake view.
The Cabin in the Woods is also close to the Echo Rock Trail, which is accessible for about a half-mile. The wide paved trail has a slight incline, and features interpretive plaques along the way. It leads out to a nice overlook with benches to enjoy the view, however it loses it's access after that point.
If you want to go all the way down to the beach, make a right turn as you exit the campground, and then take the first right. There is an accessible picnic table and shelter in the upper parking lot, but for the best beach access you should park in the lower parking lot. From there, you'll find an accessible asphalt trail that leads down to a grassy area near the shore. Depending on the water level, some wheelchair-users may need a bit of assistance over the grass, but you'll still get a nice view from the path. And if you'd like to pack along a picnic, there's an accessible picnic table with a view of the water along the path.
No matter if you just want to relax and enjoy the view, catch some fish for dinner, or take a hike, there's plenty of accessible offerings at Mirror Lake State Park. And the very accessible Cabin on the Lake makes this beautiful outdoor area even more accessible to wheelchair-users and slow walkers.

Opis
Barapazaur to wczesnojurajski (toark) zauropod z Indii, którego nazwa rodzajowa oznacza wielkonogi jaszczur (ind. bara – wielki, pa – noga; gr. sauros – jaszczur). Pierwsze szczątki odnaleziono w roku 1960, ale formalnego opisu dokonano dopiero w roku 1975. Od tego czasu odkryto w sumie jeszcze pięć niekompletnych szkieletów (w Dolinie Godavari, południowe Indie), dotychczas nie odnaleziono czaszki oraz kości stóp. Ten jeden z najstarszych zauropodów nie posiadał przystosowań zaawansowanych krewniaków, jak choćby pustych kręgów. Ten prawdopodobny (gatunek jest niedostatecznie zbadany) przedstawiciel rodziny wulkanodontów (o przynależności do grupy świadczy wąski odcinek krzyżowy) wykazuje pewne podobieństwa do form ze wschodniej Afryki, co ma implikacje paleogeograficzne.

How important is documenting your consulting processes? I don't plan to write a book, nor are my clients the same from year to year.
In most cases, you would advise your clients to follow evidence-based management, so why wouldn't you do the same for your own practice? Even though many of our engagements are designed for each client, there are many similarities in our approach, execution and follow up. Over the years, whether we were or are in a large firm, small firm, internal practice or as an independent (often most of the above) we will develop our own best practices. Documenting these approaches allows us to jumpstart new engagements, bypassing most of the design phase. A "playbook" of project templates, evaluation formats, checklists and resources is one way you build differentiation and efficiency.
Reviewing your past practices, combined with regular reading and research about consulting and management, can lead you to steady improvement in your consulting. One place where you generate some of the most dynamic advances in your best practices is when you work with other consultants. Working with the same team may polish your approach, but working with other firms in partnership is where you test alternative approaches. It's like having in-house R&D.
Tip: Create a hardcopy loose-leaf notebook or electronic equivalent of practice management, marketing and engagement processes. If you haven't already done so, start building these with generic versions of each project's documents. Every time you conclude a project stage, look at how you might adapt or improve your playbooks. This might mean adapting an existing component or adding an alternative (e.g., marketing approaches for very different types of clients, process flows for different industries).
When I lecture at a local university, I often use business case studies purchased from management review journals. Can I use my own project summaries instead of these cases?
Yes, and this strategy has two valuable benefits. First, no one knows the nuances of a case like the person (you) who was intimately involved in its creation. You know the players, the circumstances, the solution implemented and the outcomes. You will be better able to respond to questions about alternative approaches or the implications of variations in circumstances on intervention outcomes. Second, you have the ability to adapt the case to your teaching needs in ways that are internally consistent with the client organization. Some cases have been adapted or constructed in ways that describe an organization that exhibits unrealistic organization or actions. For both reasons, you will be able to present an appropriate case that you know well. One caveat. You must remove all explicit or indirect references to you client's name or any information that could lead to identification of your client or any other person or organization.
Tip: There is another important benefit. Creating a case gives you an opportunity to revisit and examine your client's situation far removed from your initial interaction. You may want to create cases of several of your prior engagements and use them to teach your staff or colleagues about your approach to consulting or client relations. The comments you receive from others about your case are indirectly assessments of your role in the engagement. You may even learn something new about your approach to consulting that you can use with this same client or future clients.
#133: Is There a Book in You?
I see lots of consultants have written books and this alone seems to give them instant credibility. Is it worth the trouble?
Thirty years ago, when the barriers to publishing were substantially higher, being the author of a book did bring substantial credibility. Not so much these days, although it depends what you want the book to do for you.
First, do you have anything compelling to say? Having only the desire to write a book, much less to write it for notoriety alone, is insufficient reason to sit down at the keyboard and start typing. Look at the compelling and timeless business or consulting books around – there are not a lot of them. Now look at the business books that Amazon lists of $0.01 and have hundreds of used copies for sale. A book about consulting may look good in your marketing materials, but assume that people may check out how good your book it is. Instead of a reputation booster, it may well be the opposite, and once it is published, you can't take it back.
One good way to know if you have a book in you is to see how you feel when you read other books about consulting or listed to "experts" in your industry or discipline. If you are well versed in the industry or discipline and strongly disagree with many of these people, or you think the ways they explain processes or trends are off the mark, or you have something innovative in your work that clients have repeatedly found valuable and for which you are getting a good reputation, then you have the kernel of a book. Given this potential value, however, your vehicle may not be a book, but workshops, speeches, articles, ezines, blog or case studies. If you are not generating solid and useful services in high demand as a consultant, a book will not create that demand. Better to spend your time developing your business than struggling with a book.
Tip: Don't take this as arguing against books entirely. A book may be an OK vehicle, but consider where it fits in your overall business plan. Books are good to launch a speaking career but it is hard to compile speeches into a book. Blogs are best if you have a steady stream of ideas about emerging trends, for which a book is the wrong vehicle. Yet, a collection of blogs may make a good compilation, ezine or book. There are so many books (almost 1,000 books are published each day in the US, plus an unknown number of self published books) that you will be fighting an uphill battle for recognition. The business of publishing is changing rapidly (e.g., print on demand) and, as great a consultant as you are, take advantage of the expertise of agents. They know the market, the process and the scenario your book idea will take.
I'd like to build my network of colleagues, not so much for business referrals but to exchange business and technical information about my field. How is this kind of network building different than traditional network development?
Every kind of network (e.g., social, business, informational, bartering) differs in the criteria for participation, the pathway to develop it and the types of behaviors and skills needed to be a valued participant. Informational networks are among the most difficult in all these criteria. This is because the currency by which transactions occur (information) is the most intangible but, at the same time, the most valuable. The information most valued by the network is often hard to come by, is known by few but valued by many, and frequently has a short shelf life. Imagine how valuable advance information about emerging technologies is, your personal contact with someone who is connected to someone in demand for their research (this is the principle behind LinkedIn), or research you have just completed on a complex problem in business, technology or a particular technical discipline.
Setting up the network usually starts with a core set of people trading a limited set of information, say information about cutting edge research or innovative examples in construction financing. Establish rules for trading this information, confidentiality, types of information you collectively would find valuable, and acceptable levels of contribution (i.e., how much information of what value constitutes a fair value provided as compared to value derived). Finding the right people you trust to contribute quality information and to keep it confidential to just your group is essential. Grow the network organically from a small core of people and content to a network that works for you. Remember, an information network requires commitment and trust, much more than a casual business referral network we are more familiar with.
Tip: See whether you can build and sustain a network by arranging with 3-5 colleagues a deliberate effort to trade in a specific set of information. Plan out the growth of this network over the coming year, adding types of information and planned uses of this information, Discuss how each of you receives value from the network as compared to what you are putting in. Finally, set up rules among you for continued participation and how you might dissolve the network. If this sounds like a partnership, in a way it is and many of the rules, advice and caveats of setting up a partnership apply here.
The literature is filled with "tried and true" consulting approaches on which many of us have built our practices. With all the changes in business, technology and commerce, how do we know if what worked decades ago still works now?
We can't generalize about all consulting practices but you are on to something. Consulting, whether in analysis, communication, marketing, diagnostics, or any other discipline or approach, necessarily must evolve with the times. This doesn't mean that the core of an approach won't serve you for a long time. It does mean, however, that you need test each approach to see whether it still is valid. Specifically, you need to question the underlying assumptions and metaphors on which an approach is based.
For example, we all learned about the process of converting someone who might be interested in our services into a client. We use the metaphor of a funnel, where prospects go into the large end and are reduced in number and increased in qualification until they become clients. However, this linear model has been increasingly questioned in recent years, and some are proposing some variation on a network model, with prospects coming into the client flow at various points and leaving at various points, only to possibly reenter at a later point. Do the metaphor and underlying assumptions still support your "common sense" approach?
Tip: Both consultants and managers often use approaches that are widely written about or presumed to be "common practice." However, we are obliged to dig deep into these approaches and identify the underlying assumptions. What metaphor is used? What factors were in effect when the approach was invented? Is the approach a retread of an old idea, or common sense with a new name. Is it a "go find a market in which no one else is active and sell to it" or "build parallel processes to streamline and reduce roadblocks in your processes" (these are really "new ideas" people have "invented" and heavily marketed)? We need to make sure we understand why we select an approach before we use it. And that's just common sense.


has been telling me about his new single, It Wasn't Me, and what its story is. I ask which artists and albums have made an impact on him; which rising musicians we need to watch out for – he reveals plans and ambitions for 2019.
Parvenu talks about his approaching E.P., Blue Summer, and tells me which artist he'd support on tour given the chance; the advice he would give to artists emerging and how he relaxes away from music – he ends the interview by selecting a great song.
Hey. I'm good, not too bad thanks. My week has been alright; I mean, I'm trying to live my life like it's golden but, right now, it's sort of bronze, so you know...but I'm alive; that's the most important part.
Sure thing! I'm Alex, the parvenu; also known as 'Alex Parvenu'; also known as 'Mr. Contemporary Soul', A.K.A. 'MC Aleco'; A.K.A. 'Roots, Rock, Reggae'; 'Mr. in Slow Motion'; also known as the 'Black Bohemian' and sometimes referred to as 'Mr. It Wasn't Me'.
It Wasn't Me is your latest track. I assume it wasn't inspired by the Shaggy track?! What is the tale behind your song?
I love the Shaggy and Rikrok record but, no, my 'It Wasn't Me' tells a completely different tale. Musically, it was inspired by Motown classics - most notably My Girl by The Temptations. Lyrically, it's about falling in love with somebody, but their family; their parents, particularly their father, doesn't approve of you or your perceived influence on their kin.
Blue Summer is out next year. What might we expect from the E.P.?
Yes it is - and I'm excited to finally put out a body of work. You can expect some contemporary Soul; some Roots-Reggae; a little Hip-Hop and a young, black man from London wearing his heart on his sleeve. And, while I'm definitely excited about putting out Blue Summer, I'm even more excited about the body of work that's coming out after that and new collaborators I'm working with.
I grew up listening to whatever my dad was playing...so, Paul Simon, Fela Kuti; Bob Marley, Aretha Franklin; Peter Tosh, James Brown – all great artist, playing with live bands. Being a kid in the '90s, meant that I was exposed to the biggest records and artist of the day: TLC, Spice Girls; Fugees, Lauryn Hill; Tupac, Big; Michael Jackson and OutKast. I'll say their work is all interwoven somewhere in my musical D.N.A. In my late-teens, I was listening to Amy Winehouse, Kanye; Mos Def; Talib Kweli and John Legend.
I guess I also revisited more vintage records made by The Temptations, Curtis Mayfield; Donny Hathaway, Chaka Khan etc. Contemporary artist I'm excited about are Solange, CeeLo Green; André 3000, Raphael Saadiq; Leon Bridges and Jah9. If I had to narrow the list of musical influences down, I would probably go with Lauryn Hill, the Fugees; Paul Simon, Bob Marley and the Temptations.
Did your family encourage your musical talents? When did you get into music?
Unfortunately, I can't say they did...although my love for music was definitely inspired by dad's taste in music and the fact he was an aspiring pianist. Both my mum and dad pushed academia; they did this with love, so I'm not mad at them. I can't help but wonder sometimes, if I had their support behind my musical endeavours, how much of a difference this would have made. This is something that can't be changed, so I'm not holding a grudge but it will be important for me when I have my own kids to ensure I encourage the things they are passionate about.
Obviously, one must exercise tact and discretion here, but if you're able to support your children's dreams, goals and aspirations, they grow up with a confidence and a self-absurdness that is unparalleled. I've been into music and around music for as long as I can remember. My parents tease me all the time about how obsessed I was with Paul Simon's Graceland album, which I guess my dad was playing a lot when I was a kid.
Essentially, they're remixes but, because they've been produced by solid producers I like to call them Part II and Part III. Chevi JReid produced Part II. He's best known for producing Chun-Li and Barbie Tingz for Nicki Minaj and Rory Stone Love, from legendary Jamaican sound system Stone Love, produced Part III. I'm going to be doing more work with these guys in 2019 so I'm hyped about that.
Oh, so many but, right now, the first thing that comes to mind is the first time I connected with Tom Elmhirst. This was before he moved to N.Y., so he was working out of Metropolis Studios in London. He had heard one of my demo records and invited me down to Metropolis and asked me to bring more of my music. I remember being in awe as he took a break from mixing a Florence and the Machine record to listen to my stuff; seeing him rock back and forth to my music playing through the studio monitors was a magical moment for me.
Because this is the first music I remember hearing; I don't remember life without this album. My parents say, as a baby, I wouldn't get in the car unless they had the tape playing.
Because this was a defining moment for me as a kid. All my friends were listening to Craig David or Another Level...or whatever else we young kids were listening to at the time. But I, for whatever reason, took a liking to Lauryn Hill and used my pocket money to buy The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. It was the first record I ever bought. And it became the soundtrack to my growing up. I never understood the lyrics then as I do now, as an adult, but that record is a true celebration and amalgamation of genres I love: Soul, Hip-Hop; Reggae...all fused together with stellar musicianship and great lyricism.
As for number-three; I can't choose a third as there are too many other albums to choose from that I love - but Graceland and The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill definitely left their unparalleled mark on me.
I think now, as an adult, if I wanted something (a gift), I'd just go and buy it myself. The best part about receiving presents is definitely the spontaneity of it all and the thought that goes behind a gift. However, if I had to make one Christmas wish, I would wish I could feel how I felt last Christmas: being in love during Christmas is magic to the nth-degree.
Well. Lauryn Hill is always touring. I think it would be dope to support her and the Jay-Z and Beyoncé tour, OTR II, looks incredible.
As for my rider; I'm pretty easy-going. Loads of fresh fruit and veg, healthy snacks and a kettle and a teapot. I'd try and keep all other tempting beverages and stuff away as 'moderation' isn't a word in my dictionary.
Keep an eye on my website and my social media (@alexparvenu). 2019 dates will be published on there.
Focus on making incredible music. expect nothing and appreciate everything.
Yea. Check out Tara Harrison. I'm loving her vibe.
Absolutely. Music is just one facet of my creativity; I'm writing a children's book and a memoir, so those pieces are keeping pretty busy. I also enjoy long walks; sometimes I do up to ten miles a day – walking definitely helps to clear my mind.


"Ask now about the former days, long before your time, from the day God created man on the earth; ask from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything so great as this ever happened, or has anything so great as this ever happened, or has anything like it ever been heard of? Has any other people heard the voice of God speaking out of fire, as you have and lived? Has any god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation, by testing by miraculous signs and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, or by great and awesome deeds, like all the things the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes? Acknowledge and take to heart this day the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other. Keep his decrees and commands, which I am giving you today, so that it may go well with you and your children after you and that guy may live long in the land the Lord your God gives you for all time".
"Because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry Abba Father. The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are Gods children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs-heirs of God and coheirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory".
From these verses, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, light radiance and grace are in the Trinity and from the Holy Trinity, to the follower of Christ and his witness, you have to be in live relationship in God of Trinity, that's distinguish us from the false followers. The grace remains together with the truth, since God is true, we have to worship in truth and spirit. In first reading we see how Israelites have known God the Father by his actions and provides enough evidence to demonstrate his great love, and He expect our response, our love and our results, turning to his path, our daily path for walking with Him. We see in ourselves how God has chosen each of us, everyone has events that we have to share with one to another for encouragement.
In the second reading of Romans, we see step by step a full image of the Holy Trinity, the gifts and strength that we receive from the Holy Spirit dispenses to individuals are given by the Father through the Word for all that belongs to the Father, belongs also to the Son so the graces given by the Son in the Spirit are true gifts from the Father. Such a big meaning, especially to someone not worth as I am not worth to be called Gods child, not slave anymore. When the Spirit dwell in us, the Word who bestows the Spirit is in us too, this sanctify us, adopt us, makes us heirs, sons and our body temple for Gods Holy Spirit.
In third reading of Gospel according Saint Matthew our risen Lord Jesus Christ has commanded us to be his preachers of God's Word to the end of the earth, baptizing in the Holy Trinity, the foundation of our faith, truly worshiped God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, the teachings and faith of the Universal Orthodox Catholic Apostolic Church which was revealed to us from God, and from these three examples of Holy Scripture, is proclaimed by the apostles and guarded by the fathers, teaching us that the Holy Trinity is not a blend of creative and created being, but it is a wholly creative and energizing reality, self-consistent and undivided in its active power, for the Father makes all things through the Word and in the Holy Spirit, this what according Church Fathers is described, cos is a huge mystery for our human mind. Gods gives wisdom to contemplate his Trinity and reveal truths.


Did we hear correctly? The "world is awash in crude"?
It must be a mistake. The world is supposed to be running out of oil ... in 100 years or less, we were told.
Now comes Neil Niman, associate professor and chair of the Department of Economics at the University of New Hampshire. He tells us: "The world is awash in crude (oil)." And what's more a large part of current oil production is coming from within the United States. "The U.S. has dramatically increased domestic production," he adds.
The boom in domestic oil production comes, in part, from fracking which allows more difficult deposits of crude to be extracted. It is a process used for decades, but has only become more cost effective as prices at the pump have risen — well beyond the 36.9 cents of pre-Arab oil embargo days.
In addition to oil, the United States now arguably has the world's largest gas reserves.
The notion that America can be self-sustaining has only been a thing of dreams since Jimmy Carter days — at least according to doomsday advocates.
For skeptics of such claims, the news comes as little surprise. There have been too many headlines predicting doom and destruction in our lifetime.
Dead for the most part is the overpopulation lobby, which once predicted an allotment of only one square meter per person due to spiraling birth rates. Instead we find birth control taking over and trimming those rates.
And what of The New York Times Headline, 'God Is Dead'?
As reported by CBS, a recent poll shows that 62 percent of Americans believe God helped create humans.
For global warming advocates comes disappointing news from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change which has issued a report finding little evidence of "climate change" or "global warming" based on human activity.
Writes John Hayward for Human Events: Whereas the reports of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warn of a dangerous human effect on climate, NIPCC concludes the human effect is likely to be small relative to natural variability, and whatever small warming is likely to occur will produce benefits as well as costs," the non-governmental panel announced, rolling out a hefty report with a succinct "summary for policymakers" to back up their claim.
None of what is written here should be seen as a denial of problems facing the country and the world. Rather, it is a plea for a more balanced perspective.
Can fracking be bad? Yes, without proper precautions and oversight.
Should we make efficient use of our natural resources? Without a doubt.
But the all-or-nothing mentality which predicted the death of religion or the end of humanity as we know it, has been proved wrong time and time again.
The answers, as we frequently note, are more often found in the middle where reasonable minds can find common ground.

Advance Tickets For 'Toy Story 4' On Sale Now
Skyler Shuler May 28, 2019 2 min read
We are only a few weeks away from the release of Disney/Pixar's Toy Story 4, and advance tickets are now on sale.
Fans can catch Woody and the gang a day before Toy Story 4 officially opens with two special opportunities taking place in select theaters across the country. Check Fandango.com for more information and to find participating theaters.
Opening Night Fan Events will invite fans to be among the first to experience the movie on Thursday, June 20. In addition to watching the film early, attendees will receive a set of Toy Story 4 collectible character cards and be a special event-only concession offer.
Toy Story 4 Movie Marathons take moviegoers on a Toy Story extravaganza on Thursday, June 20, showing all four Toy Story films back to back. In addition to seeing Buzz, Woody and all their Toy Story friends on the big screen, fans will receive an exclusive Woody pin, a set of collectible character cards and get a special event-only concession offer.
Woody (voice of Tom Hanks) has always been confident about his place in the world, and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that's Andy or Bonnie. So when Bonnie's beloved new craft-project-turned-toy, Forky (voice of Tony Hale), declares himself as "trash" and not a toy, Woody takes it upon himself to show Forky why he should embrace being a toy. But when Bonnie takes the whole gang on her family's road trip excursion, Woody ends up on an unexpected detour that includes a reunion with his long-lost friend Bo Peep (voice of Annie Potts). After years of being on her own, Bo's adventurous spirit and life on the road belie her delicate porcelain exterior. As Woody and Bo realize they're worlds apart when it comes to life as a toy, they soon come to find that's the least of their worries.
The film is directed by Josh Cooley (Riley's First Date). Rounding out the cast is Tim Allen, Keegan-Michael Key, Maddie McGraw, Jordan Peele, Jay Hernandez, Lori Alan, Joan Cusack, Bonnie Hunt, Kristen Schaal, Emily Davis, Wallace Shawn, John Ratzenberger, Blake Clark, June Squibb, Carl Weathers, Lila Sage, Don Rickles, Jeff Garlin, Maliah Bargas-Good, Jack McGraw, Juliana Hansen, and Estelle Harris.
Toy Story 4 hits theaters on June 21, 2019.

While both steps can be performed by dentists, the implant placement phase requires a dentist who has the right training and experience to carry out the complicated procedure. In the event that your Cannon Hill Dental dentist is unable to perform the implant placement, they will refer you to another highly qualified dentist before completing step two.
Looking for a dentist that offers dental implants in Cannon Hill? Contact our friendly team at Cannon Hill Dental on 07 3390 6399 or visit us at Shop 21, Cannon Hill Central, 1145 Wynnum Road, Cannon Hill, QLD.


Do you remember back a number of years now when the US Postal Service launched a new advertising campaign for their Priority Mail service? The campaign's tagline was simple and direct: What's Your Priority?
As you heard on Annual Meeting Sunday, with the help of every one of you who attended a focus group or filled out a survey (and the tireless efforts of the Strategic Planning Committee), the Vestry has recently finished its discernment process and identified three high-level Strategic Priorities for St. Paul's.
The Vestry has taken the data that the Strategic Planning Committee collected, collated, and analyzed – data that communicated what each of YOUR individual priorities are – and distilled them into language that describes what OUR priorities are as a community. Their process was grounded both in analysis and also in prayerfulness, listening with one ear to the congregation's collective input about their hopes for the future of St. Paul's, and with a second ear to where God is beckoning us next in our continuing journey as God's church.
The resulting Strategic Priorities are a response to what they heard using both ears – ideally encapsulating all of your input as well as their sense of what the Holy Spirit was trying to say to our church as well. The intention is that while every part of each priority might not fully resonate with every person, at least some aspect of at least one of the priorities will touch a deeper, God-given yearning within each of us. Just before Advent, the Vestry shared a draft of these priorities at our late-fall ministry leaders gathering, and was affirmed that everyone present could name something in the priorities that spoke to them at the heart level.
Our Vestry has chosen to adopt "priorities" that they expect, with your help and God's, will infuse every ministry, team, committee, and activity of our parish in the coming months. This differs somewhat from the way a Board of Directors of a company or non-profit might impose a strategic plan with specific action steps, defined time horizons, and measurable goals. Rather than such a top-down approach, the Vestry hopes that each ministry group in the church will spend time this winter and spring reflecting on how our priorities as a church might shape (or re-shape) their ministries. The Vestry has already begun this work for themselves, and they stand ready to provide support, advice and accountability to each ministry as they do so, too.
Along with them, Rev. Rachel and I both commend our new strategic priorities to you and look forward to seeing how they help all of us respond to God's beckoning call to be friends of Jesus in our own place and time.

Thanks to all who came along to the 3rd and final Carbon Social Cycle Club event of the year.
It was a chilly start rolling out from Linlithgow train station but we soon warmed up on the 8 mile gradual climb to the first highlight of the day – a visit to California! Well, maybe not as glamorous as the US version, but we did enjoy a quick stop before a couple of miles cruising downhill.
The next 10 miles or so was 'rolling', so we were glad to stop at the 'Cup Cake Café' near Torphiccen to refuel on coffee and various cakes and scones.
Happily fuelled up (and with unfortunately full stomachs!) we then immediately climbed up our first 'Alp' of the day on route to Beecraigs Country Park. The rest of the route meandered around some fine West Lothian countryside taking in a selection of short and sharp climbs before a final big climb up Kingscavill Hill (just what we needed at mile 44!). From here it was an easy roll back down to Linlithgow and a welcome pint of shandy at the Star and Garter.
Again, thanks to all who came along and supported our cycle events this year. Keep your eyes peeled for info on events throughout 2018.


The children's ministry at Faith Community Church will create an atmosphere where kids have the opportunity to hear, experience and reflect the love of God.

Dry eye is a common and often chronic problem, particularly in older adults. It is an eye condition caused by a chronic lack of sufficient lubrication and moisture on the surface of the eye. Consequences of dry eyes range from subtle to severe and can lead to constant eye irritation to significant inflammation and even scarring of the front surface of the eye.
Living with dry eye can be a challenge, but the following tips are simple things you can do to help relieve some of the symptoms of dry eye.
Use artificial tears. Artificial tears are available without a prescription. There are many brands on the market, so you may want to try several to find the one you like best. Use them as often as you wish, but if you find yourself using them more than once every two hours, preservative-free brands may be better for you. Lubricating gels can also help, but because they are thicker and blur your vision, you will probably want to apply them at bedtime.
Avoid too much air movement. Fans, wind and hair dryers can make your eyes even drier, so you should limit your exposure to them. If you are going to be outside on a windy day, wear a pair of wraparound sunglasses to reduce the chance of wind blowing directly into your eyes.
Use a humidifier in the winter. Heating your home in the winter often dries the air out, so use a humidifier to add some moisture back into the air. Don't have a humidifier? A pan of water on your radiator is a good substitute.
Give your eyes a rest. If reading or watching television makes your eyes feel dry, make sure you take frequent breaks. Giving your eyes a rest and blinking more frequently will allow your eyes to regain some of the moisture that they've lost.
Avoid cigarette smoke. There are already a lot of good reasons not to smoke or be exposed to second-hand smoke, but cigarette smoke can irritate your dry eyes so stay away from it. Smoking can also increase your risk of developing dry eye in the first place.
Warm compresses and eyelid washing. Putting warm compresses on your eyes and then gently washing your eyelids with baby shampoo can help release the oil in your eyelids' glands, thus improving the quality of your tears. Make sure you rinse all of the soap away from your eyes when you are finished.
Consider an omega-3 fatty acid supplement. Some people may find relief from dry eye by supplementing their diet with omega-3 fatty acids, which are found naturally in foods like oily fish (salmon, sardines, anchovies) and flax seeds. Ask your ophthalmologist if you should take supplements of omega-3 fatty acids and, if so, in what form and dosage.
Dry eye is frequently a chronic condition, so knowing how to manage it can help make you feel better. Today ophthalmologists have a huge arsenal for successful battling with Dry Eye Syndrome, so If you are bothered by dry eye, Dr. Nguyen can help determine the best course of treatment for you.

The Cross Cut Adhesion Test Kit CC1000 is used to test the adhesion of dry coats of paint on their substrate by means of a series of cuts through the coating. Two series of parallel cuts cross angled to each other to obtain a pattern of 25 or 100 similar squares. The ruled area is evaluated by using a table chart after a short treatment with a stiff brush, or adhesive tape for hard substrates.
The round cutting knife of the Cross Cut Adhesion Test Kit CC1000 has eight cutting edges that can be changed easily by rotating the knife. The self positioning knife bracket of the Cross Cut Adhesion Test Kit (CC1000) ensures equal pressure on the cutting knife.

Polysiloxanes containing phenyl functional groups are a class of promising polymer materials with enhanced low-temperature flexibility, high-temperature stability and great damping properties. In this context, organic cyclic trimeric phosphazene bases (CTPBs) have been proved to be highly efficient for the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) and the copolymerization of D4 with octaphenylcyclotetrasiloxane (P4) under mild conditions. The polymerizations are fast and the resulting polymers have high molecular weights (Mn up to 1353 kg mol−1). The molecular structures of the obtained copolysiloxanes were characterized by 1H NMR and 29Si NMR, which demonstrate that as high as 64 mol% diphenyl siloxane units can be incorporated within the copolysiloxane chain. Remarkably, copolysiloxanes with different contents of the diphenyl siloxane group are found free of T-branches and Q-branches based on the 29Si NMR analysis, indicating a good controlled ROP by the current organocatalytic system. DSC analysis shows no crystallization exotherm or melting endotherm in the range of −70 °C to 50 °C for all the copolysiloxanes, confirming that incorporation of diphenyl groups successfully suppresses the undesirable crystallization of polydimethylsiloxane. Moreover, the thermal stability of copolysiloxanes was evaluated by TGA, showing dramatically enhanced thermal stability with the increment of the diphenyl siloxane content.

Q: Python Decorator Self-firing I am fairly new to Python and have been learning about decorators. After messing around with Flask, I am trying to write some code that simulates their route handler/decorators, just to understand how decorators (with arguments) work.
In the code below, the route decorator seems to call itself once the script runs. My question is, how is it possible that app.route() gets called when i run this script, and what is really happening here? Notice i don't call my index() function anywhere directly.
# test.py

class Flask(object):

    def __init__(self, name):
        self.scriptname = name

    def route(self, *rargs, **kargs):
        args = list(rargs)
        if kargs:
            print(kargs['methods'])
        def decorator(f):
            f(args[0])
        return decorator

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/", methods = ["GET","PUT"])
def index(rt):
    print('route: ' + rt)

the above prints this in my terminal:
$ python test.py
['GET', 'PUT']
route: /

Any insight would be appreciated.

A: @app.route("/", methods = ["GET","PUT"]) is an executable statement: it calls the route() method of the app object. Since it's at module level, it will be executed when the script is imported.
Now, the result of calling app.route(...) is a function, and because you've used the @ to mark it as a decorator, that function will wrap index. Note that the syntax is just a shortcut for this:
index = app.route(...)(index)

in other words, Python will call the function returned by app.route() with index as a parameter, and store the result as the new index function.
However, you're missing a level here. A normal decorator, without params, is written like this:
@foo
def bar()
   pass

and when the module is imported, foo() is run and returns a function that wraps bar. But you're calling your route() function within the decorator call! So actually your function needs to return a decorator function that itself returns a function that wraps the original function... headscratching, to be sure.
Your route method should look more like this:
def route(self, *rargs, **kargs):
    args = list(rargs)
    if kargs:
        print(kargs['methods'])
    def decorator(f):
        def wrapped(index_args):
            f(args[0])
        return wrapped
    return decorator

A: Basically... app.route(index, "/", ["GET", "PUT"]) is a function. And this is the function which is going to be called instead of index.
In your code, when you call index(), it calls app.route(index, "/", ["GET", "PUT"]). This starts by printing kargs['methods'], then creates the decorator function:
def decorator(f):
    f(args[0])

This decorator will call the decorated function (f) with one argument, args[0], which here is "/". This prints route: /.
The best explanation of decorators I've found is here: How to make a chain of function decorators?
If you dont want the self-firing, you can define your decorator this way:
def route(*rargs, **kargs):
    args = list(rargs)
    if kargs:
        print(kargs['methods'])
    def decorator(f):
        f(args[0])
    return decorator

@app.route("/", methods = ["GET","PUT"])
def index(rt):
    print('route: ' + rt)

However, the rt argument of index will never be used, because route always calls index with args[0] which is always \...

Excerpts from speeches and interviews, relating to the life of Chaim Weizmann, Zionist leader and president of Israel, and to the foundation of the Israeli state. Narrated by Abba Eban. Produced and directed by Ram Ben Efraim.


On September 28-29, Sharon Birkman, CEO of Birkman International, and Dan Perryman, VP of Training and Development, attended the 11th Annual Coaching in Leadership & Healthcare Conference in Boston, hosted by the Institute of Coaching, McLean Hospital, and Harvard Medical School. The conference provided an opportunity for them to meet and hear from hundreds of thought leaders in the medical and psychological sciences, with a focus on positive psychology. However, for Sharon and Dan, the highlight of the weekend was the presentation given by Ethan Bernstein, Professor at Harvard Business School (HBS), on a HBS case study featuring the Birkman Method.
The case study, "Coaching Makena Lane," follows a Birkman coach as she works to develop social intelligence with a leadership client who drives impressive results but receives continuous complaints from her peers, subordinates, and coworkers about her social behaviors. Dr. Bernstein's interactive presentation emphasized Birkman insights that stood out in the study regarding Makena's needs and stress behavior, producing lively discussion among the 400+ executive coaches in attendance.
"The most gratifying aspect of the case study is that it's the first ever Executive Coaching case study produced and used by HBS," said Sharon. "We're honored that Harvard has recognized the impact Birkman had in this case, demonstrating trust in using Birkman as an effective tool for leadership development."
You can download a copy of Coaching Makena Lane to explore how coaches are using The Birkman Method.

Narrator е програма, включена в Microsoft Windows, която чете текст от екрана. Narrator чете диалогови прозорци и опции в някои от най-често използваните приложения в Microsoft Windows.

Докато Microsoft предлагат на хората със зрителни увреждания да си купят програма за четене от екрана с всички функции, Narrator e много полезен софтуер поради редица причини. Narrator е предоставен във всяко копие на Windows, осъществявайки достъп до Windows без да има нужда от инсталиране на допълнителен софтуер, стига компютърът да има работещи звукова карта, тонколони или слушалки. Windows 2000 била първата версия, която осигурявала до някаква степен възможности за работа на зрително увредени хора с компютър, като им позволява да работят с всеки компютър, на който е инсталиран Microsoft Windows.

Narrator може да помага на сляп човек да инсталира програма за четене от екрана с всички функции и да продължи да работи докато другата програма се стартира. Също така, понеже Narrator се нужда е от малки изисквания от операционната система, може да предостави говор, когато друга подобна програма с всички функции не успее да предостави услугите си, като например по време на ъпдейтване на хардуерните драйвери.

Версията на Narrator от Windows 2000 използва SAPI 4 и позволява използването на други SAPI гласове. Windows XP използва по-новия SAPI 5, но използва само подразбиращия се глас, Microsoft Sam, дори и ако други гласове се инсталират. В Windows Vista Narrator е обновен до SAPI 5.3 и се използва гласа на Microsoft Anna или при китайските системи на Microsoft Lili.

Creating a best place to work.
Based in Durango with an office in Denver, Mercury was founded in 2011 with a mission to provide tech-enabled services to help small-to-medium-sized merchants compete and thrive. Workplace Resource's experience with fast-growing, dynamic companies in multiple locations gave Mercury confidence in our ability to provide a great solution. The Mercury project involved a dynamic team with people weighing in from across the country. Team members were scattered across the country in Denver, Durango, Irvine, and Albuquerque.
Mercury's management wanted to rethink their facilities' floorplans to create a workplace that would be considered a best place to work in Durango. Workplace Resource helped them to design a facility using a kit of parts that will easily accommodate future modifications. In essence, Mercury's facilities were "future proofed" so they're prepared to adapt to changes in the future. Workplace Resource's project with Mercury truly was a collective endeavor with many team members collaborating to make the project a success.
