How was your week? Mine has been a mixture of everything: wonderful moments (visiting our dear friends in Las Vegas for a long weekend) and busy moments (having to catch up with all my papers to grade). But each day I have seen that I have been given more grace than what I'd have ever expected. God is good.
We are now in chapter five (half way through our book!), a chapter that mainly deals with three issues: being productive, financial responsibility, and living in community.
In this chapter the authors stir us up to consider how are we to live in community in our homes with our adult children when they are staying home for a season and for the good reasons. Newheiser warns us that "we might be tempted to micromanage their day or fly off the handle…" I agree. And even through distance, even if our children are off in college, we may face this same temptation because we are only a "text away" from them.
1. Develop an open friendship with your children, so that they will be open to hearing our wise counsel when they ask for it (p.71). Maybe you can review your notes on chapter one as this was an important principle Newheiser laid clearly at the beginning of the book.
4. Young adults living at home should do an adult share of the housework (p.74). We have seen -and heard- this many times: children demanding to be respected and treated as adults but at the same time don't want the full package of what it means being an adult. They want the privileges only but not the responsibilities.
6. Nothing is more important for living in community with others than trust (p.77).
7. Failure to meet expectations must result in consequences (p.78). I have found through many conversations with friends that trying to avoid the consequences we, parents, find ourselves tempted to overlook the lack of meeting of the expectations we have established beforehand. We are may times so much like Eli. We forget that God cannot be mocked, sooner or later the consequences of all our sins will come.
7. Get good, godly counsel from your pastor or trusted friend and cry out to God for the courage to do the best, most loving thing for your young adult (p.81).
I purposely left out the point in which the author says that, forcing or not an adult child living at home to go to church is a matter of personal conscience on the part of the parents. And I did so because I think that in this particular issue, the godly counsel of the pastor would always be necessary.
May God give us grace to parent well each one of our children through all the different seasons of their lives.

Fact Sheet - Dementia with Lewy Bodies
Family Caregiver Alliance
Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) is a progressive degenerative disease or syndrome of the brain. It shares symptoms - and sometimes overlaps - with several diseases, especially with two common diseases of older adults, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Persons who develop DLB have behavioral and memory symptoms of dementia like those of Alzheimer's disease and, to varying extents, the physical, motor system symptoms seen in Parkinson's. However, the mental symptoms of a person with DLB might fluctuate frequently, motor symptoms are milder than for Parkinson's disease, and DLB patients usually have vivid visual hallucinations.
"Dementia with Lewy Bodies" is the preferred term for several disorders or conditions that cause dementia. Dementia is a gradual, progressive decline in mental ability (cognition) that affects memory, thinking processes, behavior and physical activity. In addition to these mental symptoms, persons with DLB experience physical symptoms of parkinsonism, including mild tremor, muscle stiffness and movement problems. Strong visual hallucinations also occur.
DLB is named after smooth round protein lumps, called Lewy bodies, that are found in the nerve cells of affected brains. Lewy bodies are often present in the nuclei (nerve cells) of brains afflicted with a variety of disorders. In DLB, the Lewy bodies are found throughout the outer layer of the brain (the cerebral cortex) and deep inside the midbrain or brainstem. These "abnormal protein structures" were first described in 1912 by Frederich Heinrich Lewy, M. D., a contemporary of Alois Alzheimer who first identified the more common form of dementia that bears his name.
Because Lewy bodies are also often found in the brains of those diagnosed with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Down syndrome and other disorders, researchers agreed in 1995 to use the term "Dementia with Lewy Bodies" to describe both a single disease (sometimes called "pure DLB") and a spectrum of disorders with similar or related pathology.
It is believed that DLB, as a defined disease process, accounts for as many as 20% of the seven million cases of dementia in the United States and for as much as one-third of dementing illness in elderly Americans. This makes DLB the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer's.
Doctors and other clinical experts sometimes use other terms to describe DLB or variations of Lewy body syndromes, including "Diffuse Lewy Body Disease," "Cortical Lewy Body Disease," "Lewy Body Dementia," or "Lewy Body Variant of Alzheimer's Disease." Although debate about the nature of Lewy body-related disorders continues, most clinicians now follow the terminology and diagnosis recommendations for DLB developed in 1995 by an international consortium.
The cause of DLB is unknown and no specific risk factors are identified. Cases have appeared among families but there does not seem to be a strong tendency for inheriting the disease. Genetic research may reveal more information about causes and risk in the future.
Initial symptoms of DLB usually are similar to those of Alzheimer's or vascular dementia and are cognitive (mental) in nature. Other patients may first show the neuromuscular symptoms of Parkinson's disease. A small number of patients will begin with dementia and parkinsonism symptoms at the same time.
Key symptoms are:
For most DLB patients, mild problems with recent memory, such as forgetting very recent events.
Brief episodes of unexplained confusion and other behavioral or cognitive problems. The individual may become disoriented about the time or where he or she is; have trouble with speech, finding words or following a conversation, and experience visuospatial difficulty (such as finding one's way or working a jigsaw puzzle); and problems in thinking such as inattention, mental inflexibility, indecisiveness, lack of judgment and loss of insight.
Fluctuation in the occurrence of these cognitive symptoms from moment to moment, hour to hour, day to day or week to week. For example, the person may converse normally one day and be mute, unable to speak the next day ? or even from one moment to the next. While this is often felt to be an important part of DLB, it may occur in other dementias and is sometimes it is very difficult to determine whether fluctuation truly occurs in a given patient.
Well-defined, vivid, visual hallucinations. In DLB's early stage, the person may even acknowledge and describe the hallucinations. Other types of hallucinations are less common but sometimes occur. These might be auditory ("hearing" sounds), olfactory ("tasting" something) or tactile ("feeling" something that isn't there).
Movement (motor function) problems of parkinsonism, sometimes referred to as "extrapyramidal" signs. These symptoms often seem to start spontaneously and may include flexed posture, shuffling gait, reduced armswing, limb stiffness, a tendency to fall, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), and tremor.
Movement and motor problems occur in later stages for 70% of persons with DLB. But for 30% of DLB patients and more commonly those that are older, Parkinson's symptoms occur first, before dementia symptoms. In these individuals cognitive decline tends to start with depression or mild forgetfulness.
Dementia with Lewy Bodies is difficult to diagnose. Not only does it resemble other dementias, it overlaps with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other disorders, which may be difficult to rule out or exclude. Because no single test exists to diagnose DLB, a variety of medical, neurological and neuropsychological tests are used to pinpoint it and its possible overlap with other illnesses.
Although Lewy bodies are found in brains of patients with other diseases and because testing will involve several approaches, it is useful to understand what happens to the brain of a person who has DLB. Three significant changes or pathological features are seen in brains afflicted by Dementia with Lewy Bodies:
The brain's cerebral cortex (the outer layers of the brain) degenerates or shrinks. This can affect reasoning and complex thinking, understanding, personality, movement, speech and language, sensory input and visual perceptions of space. Degeneration also occurs in the limbic cortex at the center of the brain, which plays a major role in emotions and behavior. Lewy bodies form throughout these degenerating cortical areas.
Nerve cells die in the midbrain, especially in an area that also degenerates in Parkinson's disease, the substantia nigra, located in the brainstem. These cells are involved in making the neurotransmitter (brain messenger) dopamine. Lewy bodies are found in the nerve cells that remain. The midbrain is involved in memory formation and learning, attention, and psychomotor (muscular movement) skills.
Lesions called Lewy neurites that affect nerve cell function are found in DLB brains, especially in the hippocampus, an area of the brain essential for forming new memories.
None of the symptoms of Dementia with Lewy Bodies is specific only to DLB. To address this problem, an international group of researchers and clinicians developed a set of diagnostic criteria in 1995, called the Consensus Guidelines, that can reliably point to DLB:
Must be present:
Progressive cognitive decline (decrease in thinking ability) that interferes with normal social or occupational activities. Memory problems do not necessarily occur in the early period but will occur as DLB progresses. Attention, language, understanding and reasoning, ability to do arithmetic, logical thinking, and perceptions of space and time will be impaired.
Two of the following are present (one also indicates possibility of DLB):
Fluctuating cognition: mental problems vary, especially attention and alertness.
Visual hallucinations: detailed and well-formed visions occur and recur.
Parkinsonism: motor-related and movement problems appear.
A DLB diagnosis is even more likely if the patient also experiences repeated falls, fainting, brief loss of consciousness, delusions, or is sensitive to neuroleptic drugs that are given to control hallucinations and other psychiatric symptoms. Hearing, smell or touch hallucinations support the diagnosis of DLB.
Finally, the timing of symptoms is a reliable clue: if both mental and motor symptoms appear within one year of each other, DLB is more likely the cause. Signs of stroke or vascular dementia usually negate the likelihood of DLB.
It is not presently clear how accurate the clinical diagnosis of DLB is. While some reports suggest the diagnosis can be made with good accuracy, other studies show that it is difficult to accurately diagnose DLB. Nevertheless, other testing should be done to exclude other causes or illnesses such as Creutzfeldt Jakob's or vascular disease. Brain imaging (CT scan or MR imaging) can detect brain shrinkage and help rule out stroke, fluid on the brain (normal pressure hydrocephalus), or subdural hematoma. Blood and other tests might show vitamin B12 deficiency, thyroid problems, syphilis, or humun immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Depression is also a common cause of dementia-like symptoms. Additional tests can include an electroencephalogram (EEG) or a spinal tap. Scans using SPECT and PET (Positron Emission Tomography) technology have shown promise in detecting differences between DLB and Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's and Parkinson's: Differences and Overlap with DLB
DLB's similarity to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases and the fact that Lewy bodies are often found in the brains of patients with these diseases means that clinicians must pay close attention to the factors that distinguish DLB:
Memory and other cognitive problems occur in both DLB and Alzheimer's. However, in DLB they fluctuate frequently.
DLB patients experience more depression than do Alzheimer's patients.
Hallucinations are experienced by Alzheimer's patients in late stages, and by Parkinson's patients who take medications to improve movement and tremor. In DLB, hallucinations occur in early stages, and they are frequent, vivid and detailed.
Neuroleptic drugs (sometimes called psychotropic drugs) prescribed to lessen the so-called psychiatric symptoms of dementia, such as hallucinations, agitation or restlessness will induce Parkinson's in some DLB patients.
Life expectancy is slightly shorter for DLB than for Alzheimer's patients.
At autopsy the brains of DLB patients have senile plaques, a hallmark of Alzheimer's. Another Alzheimer's feature, neurofibrillary tangles, are absent or found in fewer numbers and are concentrated in the neocortex. Other Alzheimer's features - regional neuronal loss, spongiform change and synapse loss, neurochemical abnormalities and neurotransmitter deficits - are also seen. However, DLB-afflicted brains are less damaged than are Alzheimer's brains.
In DLB movement problems are spontaneous; the symptoms begin suddenly.
Tremor is less pronounced in DLB than in Parkinson's. Also, DLB patients respond less dramatically to drugs such as Levodopa that are used to treat Parkinson's. Nerve cell loss in the subtantia nigra is not as severe in DLB.
Both DLB and Parkinson's patients may sometimes experience fainting and wide alterations in blood pressure.
Some Parkinson's patients develop dementia in later stages. Dementia is usually the presenting symptom in DLB.
Parkinson's patients lose the neurotransmitter dopamine; Alzhe
imer's patients lose the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. DLB patients lose both.
In DLB, Alzheimer-like and Parkinson-like symptoms appear within one year of each other.
Despite these differences, a diagnosis of Dementia with Lewy Bodies does not preclude a positive diagnosis of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or other diseases common in older age.
Duration and Treatment
With an average lifespan after onset of 5 to 7 years, the progress of Dementia with Lewy Bodies is relentless, resulting in severe dementia and immobility. DLB does not follow a pattern of stages as is seen in some other dementias. A few patients progress very rapidly through the disease. Death usually occurs from pneumonia or other illness. There is no cure nor specific treatment to arrest the course of the disease.
Caution must be used in treating a person who is suspected of having DLB, again pointing to the need for an accurate diagnosis. Medications must be monitored closely for proper balance because some patients?not all?are adversely affected. Neuroleptic (tranquilizing) anti-psychotic drugs such as haloperidol or thioridazine that are often given to Alzheimer's patients to help lessen symptoms such as agitation or hallucinations can cause extreme adverse reactions in many DLB patients and can bring on motor-related symptoms. A patient treated with these drugs could become catatonic, lose cognitive function and/or develop more muscle rigidity, results that could threaten life. Likewise, levodopa drugs used to treat Parkinson's motor symptoms may increase the hallucinations of DLB patients and aggravate other symptoms. Levodopa is not usually very helpful in treating the motor symptoms of DLB patients.
Some drug therapies are showing promise, however. Cholinesterase inhibitors, such as Tacrine, may be an alternative treatment and have been effective in stopping hallucinations. Some newer antipsychotic drugs (seroquel, sertindole) may be safe.
DLB patients can live at home with frequent reassessment and careful monitoring and supervision. Caregivers must watch them closely because of the tendency to fall or lose consciousness. Dementia prevents patients from learning new actions that might help them overcome movement problems. They may need more assistance some days than others, and can be reassured by a caregiver's help in turning attention away from hallucinations. Caregivers can turn to a regional Caregiver Resource Center in California for assistance, and to a qualified diagnostic center for initial diagnosis and follow-up. In other states, resources can be found through local and state offices on aging and health.

As local politicians attempt to keep government from grinding to a halt, they need the support of an involved citizenry.
In the wake of the Parkland tragedy, mayors of Florida cities—and other local leaders across the nation—want to help protect children from gun violence by passing common sense laws, but in many cases, their hands are tied by state governments that ban local regulation of firearms.
Unfortunately, the use of state laws to stop or 'preempt' local lawmaking is not limited to guns.
Half of all states now ban local efforts to combat inequality through minimum wage policy, while 18 states have denied local governments the power to enact paid sick leave policies. States have shut down local LGBTQ anti-discrimination ordinances; halted efforts to protect immigrants; undermined efforts to advance environmental protection, and stifled innovation by preventing cities from having a say on high-speed broadband.
Not only do these measures place a wedge between the government and the governed, they constrict liberty.
The United States—as the name makes clear—is a collection of states that serve as the foundation of our federal system. It was founded with the intent that these 'united states' would work together to better our democracy, innovate and lift great ideas from communities large and small to inform national policy. Now, rather than elevating the best ideas, state legislators are using top-down tactics to tamp down local decision making and erode our democracy.
State-level preemptive tactics are overturning elections, limiting local anti-discrimination efforts, perpetuating racial and economic inequality, and systematically stripping local governments of their power to respond to local problems. These tactics are amplified via partisan divisions that have only grown as a result of strategic redistricting taking place in states nationwide–-solidifying and deepening political divides in statehouses.
The ability for local leaders to solve problems and protect their residents—including schoolchildren—is too valuable to lose.
These measures restrict the ability of all of us to make our own decisions reflecting community values and goals. Ground-up democracy—civic engagement, democratic participation, and a love of liberty—is essential to who we are as Americans.
Why did democracy take root and flourish in America when it failed in so many other places? That question drove Alexis de Tocqueville to travel and study the United States in 1831. He concluded that local government was the key because it functioned as a "school of democracy" where Americans learned to participate, take charge of their own affairs together, and expect accountability of public officials.
Local democracy, Tocqueville wrote, also taught Americans how state and federal democracy should work to promote the common good. But local government, and its role at the heart of our democracy, is in peril in many states.
Local governments and policymakers are facing increasing hostility. Whether it is a legal attack on "sanctuary cities," in order to compel municipal governments to 'deputize' local police as immigration officers, or even the seemingly innocuous question of whether communities can regulate dockless bikeshares on their sidewalks—these local decisions are being disallowed by disconnected state legislators.
And again and again, state legislative bodies have sought to stop cities that want to raise wages, even though, across the country, large majorities support it. Numerous states have preempted cities from passing restrictions on gun owners, despite vast support for laws banning high-capacity magazines and bump stocks.
So far this year, state lawmakers have shown a growing focus on interfering in local government, rather than finding solutions for the problems Americans collectively face. It's no wonder that a recent survey from Boston University found that both Republican and Democratic mayors were very concerned about state government preemption. Fifty-seven percent reported much less, or less than average autonomy from their state governments, an increase of 10 percentage points since 2016.
The weakening of local authority and community decision-making has immediate consequences on the health, safety, and economic wellbeing of residents, but the rise of state preemption also has long-term significance for our democracy. Alexis de Tocqueville's prescient ideas on local governments as schools of democracy continue to hold true today.
Local leaders are not sitting idle in the face of this threat. Mayors and city councils across America are actively contesting the rise of state overreach and will continue to fight. The ability for local leaders to solve problems and protect their residents—including schoolchildren—is too valuable to lose.
With the life and death issues we all face, we cannot wait as the federal government and state governments dither or, in the worst cases, actively stand in the way of progress. Local leaders are focused on solutions.
It is clear that cities cannot stand alone. The collective impact of engaged local citizens is essential. Without it the loss of local democracy could cost us the only still-functioning form of government left.

My DD is auditioning for Sept 17 entry this year and it was on her list to view/audition but she won't be viewing/auditioning now - what a shame, if they had made a real programme/documentary about what goes on in life for the real students I think it could have been a really great show.
She found the staff to be very nice, helpful and professional, and the facilities are lovely.
She was offered a scholarship there too.
Please do go along and make your own mind up. What you see on the TV show is purely fabricated.
I don't know why they have made the show as it does them no favours at all.
My dd did not go there in the end, she got funding elsewhere, but I would say don't write it off. It cant be all bad if The Stage paper offers a scholarship there every year!
My DS auditioned there this year and loved it, he was really torn between a few colleges and this was one.
The principles were really approachable, he found the teachers fantastic, great studios, he felt really at home there.
The show I feel is a total fabrication and just drama so please don't right them off as a school, such a shame.
A truly awful program and possibly not the best move for D&B - though it is presumably giving them an income! As I understand it , the 'students' in the program are actors though and not students at the college itself. DD has a friend who went there with the Stage scholarship and loved it.
I think any prospective future performing arts student would do well to just remember that not all people from Essex are like those on TOWIE, not all housewives are like "The Real Housewives", not all Geordies are like those portrayed on "Geordie Shore". Scripted reality for heightened drama and excitement - not the reality of everyday life.
What on earth possessed the people who run the Academy to allow this? It's like the very worst extremes of Am dram!!
Also, I presume that some of these kids will be applying for drama Schools etc in the future. Can you imagine turning up for an audition at Arts Ed, GSA, Central etc, and behaving like that? They would be shown the door pretty quickly.
The acting profession have got really upset by this, yet, it is really a drama isn't it? It's like the essex type programmes - planned and rehearsed.
I too am a bit surprised they wanted to get involved. My old school featured in the Rockschool programme, series 2. Series one was in a public school, Series 2 was in the contracting bog-standard high school. School management saw the first one and thought it an excellent opportunity to promote the school. The Head of Music selected the very best kids and they were all rejected first day in favour of the kids from the exclusion and low achievers cohort. He realised what was going on and had nothing to do with it. The production people were handing out fivers to the kids with instructions to kick the bins over and stuff like that. However, the school had no power (or knowledge) of the spin in the edit. The finished programme was a shock-horror moment for the senior managers and exactly what the savvy teachers who had run a mile from it had noticed. The Head of Music left soon after as did the Head.
It's good TV, and there is a narrative you can follow with certain cast members. Loads of weird stuff - do colleges have PA systems so they can call students and send them to places? I've never heard one - they're really disturbing. So much shouts to us as staged, but as a piece of TV, it's exactly what the ordinary people think goes on in performing arts schools. They really do think it's full of divas, talentless and nasty people.
The one thing that confused me was that one student wanted to do odd jobs to pay for his headshot? Do schools get their students to do this? really?
I wondered if some were real teachers even. I'm going to watch another episode now!
Having read all your comments, I thought I'd better watch an episode.
Oh dear. I see what you mean.
The absence of any comments about their inclusion on National TV on their website does suggest they are not very happy. Somebody will get the blame for this!
I think this college should ask to do a genuine fly-on-the-wall episode at the end with long term students and showcase what they do best.
There are glimpses of this in the background which I enjoy seeing.
but that would be dull TV to anyone clueless watching. The public love to think their opinions on stage schools are right. Look back to when Fame was on TV. It was so totally false and wrong it made good TV. So many young people go to the dance schools and colleges thinking they will be like this and get a real shock - which is good.
Practically, the TV production company are not there to promote the college. They are their to make good TV and generate comment in the media. The programme does this. Showcasing talent is NOT on the menu. They want the public to see the idiots and get cross. They want people talking about it. They love all the indignant posts on social media. It increases viewing figures - even if we only watch it to get angry. That is good TV decision making. Channel 4 could not have wished for better marketing than stealing the Bake off programme. For two years they can mil it and it doesn't even matter off the programme is rubbish when they tinker with it!
Totally agree with paulears. Starting watching it as a result of comments on here and whilst I sit there going 'OMG, Are they really about to do this' My DD sits laughing her head off and saying 'love it, that's great tv'. If she at 13 'gets' what they are doing, the acting profession certainly should.
We thought it was a spoof!
In all the years I'm a celebrity, get me out of here has been on, have any of the celebs who do panto ever missed the start of their panto because they were doing well in the jungle? Nope. Never. Draw conclusions if you wish.

Ancient 'Ice Shelf' Breaks Free - Attributed to Global Climate Changes
Ancient ice shelf snaps and breaks free from the Canadian Arctic
Ancient ice shelf snaps and breaks free from the Canadian Arctic STEVE LILLEBUEN (CP) - A giant ice shelf the size of 11,000 football fields has snapped free from Canada's Arctic, leaving a trail of icy boulders floating in its wake.
The mass of ice broke clear from the coast of Ellesmere Island, about 800 kilometres south of the North Pole. Warwick Vincent of Laval University, who studies Arctic conditions, travelled to the newly formed ice island and couldn't believe what he saw. "It was extraordinary," Vincent said Thursday, adding that in 10 years of working in the region he has never seen such a dramatic loss of sea ice.
"This is a piece of Canadian geography that no longer exists."
The collapse was so powerful that earthquake monitors 250 kilometres away picked up tremors from it.
Scientists say it is the largest event of its kind in 30 years and point their fingers at climate change as a major contributing factor.
"We think this incident is consistent with global climate change," Vincent said, adding that the remaining ice shelves are 90 per cent smaller than when they were first discovered in 1906.
"We aren't able to connect all of the dots .�.�. but unusually warm temperatures definitely played a major role."
The ice shelf actually broke up 16 months ago, but no one witnessed the dramatic event.
Laurie Weir, who monitors ice conditions for the Canadian Ice Service, was poring over satellite images when she noticed that the shelf had split and separated.
Weir notified Luke Copland, head of the new global ice lab at the University of Ottawa, who initiated an effort to find out what happened.
Using U.S. and Canadian satellite images, as well as data from seismic monitors, Copland discovered that the ice shelf collapsed in the early afternoon of Aug. 13, 2005.
"These ice shelves can break up really quickly, perhaps more quickly than we thought they could do in the past," he said.
"Within an hour we could see this entire ice chunk just disconnect and float away."
Within days, the floating ice shelf had drifted a few kilometres offshore. It travelled west for 50 kilometres until it finally froze into the sea ice in the early winter.
Derek Mueller, a polar researcher with Vincent's team, saw that Ellesmere's Ward Hunt Ice Shelf had cracked in half in 2002. He also saw that sea ice, which creates a buffer zone around ice shelves, was approaching lower and lower levels.
"These ice shelves get weaker and weaker as the temperature rises," he said.
"And the summer of 2005 had a combination of high temperatures and strong winds that probably blew the sea ice away, making this ice shelf much more vulnerable."
The Ayles Ice Shelf, roughly 66 square kilometres in area, was one of six major ice shelves remaining in Canada's Arctic.
They are packed with ancient ice that dates back over 3000 years, and scientists like Vincent treat their loss as a sign that the global climate is crossing an unprecedented threshold.
"We're seeing the tragic loss of unique features of the Canadian landscape," he said.
"There are microscopic organisms and entire ecosystems associated with this ice, so we're losing a part of Canada's natural richness."
Meanwhile, the spring thaw may bring another concern as the warming temperatures could release the ice shelf from its Arctic grip.
Prevailing winds could then send the ice island southwards, deep into the Beaufort Sea.
"Over the next few years this ice island could drift into populated shipping routes," Weir said.
"There's significant oil and gas development in this region as well, so we'll have to keep monitoring its location over the next few years."

FROM June 14 to July 15, the world has their eyes set on Russia as the 2018 FIFA World Cup goes underway. The FIFA World Cup, dubbed as the greatest show on earth, and deservedly so, for the next few days will have storms in a tea cup everywhere ranging from roadside tea stalls to corporate offices.
Despite Bangladesh not participating actively in the world cup, the people here do not lack the enthusiasm to support other countries participating in the World Cup. In fact, we become global citizens for the month. Majority of the population supports Brazil or Argentina- the North American giants, with a few Germany, Spain, England, France and Portugal supporters here and there.
We are a football crazy nation. Football fever reaches its peak every four years in Bangladesh during the FIFA World Cup, and nowhere is it more evident than on the streets of Dhaka city. By waving flags of their favourite teams, hanging banners and festoons and drawing frescos, people express their love for the greatest show on Earth.
The World Cup is not only about the games played. It's a festival, a grand celebration of harmony, peace and the beautiful game. The host country welcomes fans from all over the world, and the venues turn into one global village for lovers of the game. This is the competition where heroes are made. Legends of the game etches their name into the memories of millions. Aspiring player from underdogs give their all for their country, hoping to get noticed by big football clubs. On their day, any team can beat any giants. That is the beauty of football, even if you don't support any team, you can root for the underdog, and more often than not, you would be rewarded.
Football's showpiece event features 32 teams, including holders Germany, competing in 64 games over 32 days. The month-long tournament is expected to attract one and a half million fans to Russia and an estimated global television audience of over three billion viewers. There are eight groups, each containing four teams, with the top two advancing to the last 16. The final takes place at the 81,000-capacity Luzhniki Stadium on Sunday, July 15.
Germany, Brazil, Euro 2016 winners Portugal, 2014 runners-up Argentina, Belgium, Poland and 1998 winners France are among the eight seeded teams. Hosts Russia are also seeded, though they are the tournament's lowest-placed team - 70th - in FIFA's world rankings. England, who have won only one of their past eight World Cup matches, are unseeded, as are 2010 champions Spain.
Germany has reached at least the semi-finals in each of the past four editions of the competition.
Brazil is the only nation to have appeared at every single World Cup, but they have not won the tournament since 2002 and not since 1958 in Europe. Yet the Brazilians will fancy their chances, particularly as the team stars Neymar and Coutinho, two of the most expensive players in the world.
France boasts a young, exciting squad which includes exciting 19-year-old forward Kylian Mbappe. The closest England have come to repeating their feat of 1966 is a semi-final appearance at Italia '90. With an average age of 26 years and 18 days, the Three Lions have the third-youngest squad in Russia.
Panama and Iceland will be competing at their first World Cup. With a population of approximately 335,000, Iceland are the smallest nation ever to qualify. A national holiday was declared in Panama after they qualified for the World Cup for the first time.
There are several teams back on the world stage after lengthy absences. Peru return to the finals for the first time since 1982, while North African nations Egypt and Morocco are back for the first time in 28 and 20 years respectively. However, there are some notable absentees. Four-time winners Italy, South American champions Chile and their African counterparts Cameroon all failed to qualify. The Netherlands, runners-up in 2010, also missed out while the United States are absent for the first time since 1986.
With the corruption and slave labour scandals surrounding the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup, the World Cup in Russia becomes significant as it is the last conventional World Cup played out in current format. Qatar World Cup will be on December and World Cup 2026 onwards would feature 48 teams instead of the current 32 team format.
This World Cup also marks the beginning of the future of football. Video assistant referees (VAR) made its debut at the World Cup. The technology will be used to help officials avoid making potentially match-deciding mistakes when it comes to important issues such as awarding goals, penalties or red cards. We will also see an extra substitution allowed for teams going into extra time at the knockout rounds.
Fun fact: Bangladesh have participated in the World Cup indirectly by producing major portions of the kits of the football teams participating in the FIFA World Cup 2018.
So, what are you waiting for? Grab a jersey, scream your hearts out and support your team!

Since today is Thursday, Ellie had to wear her black leggings and her burgundy polo. That also means she gets to wear her favorite Batman socks. And she picked out her Avengers shoes, as well. Her Vader sneakers got too dirty last time, so those are no longer school approved shoes!
Ellie wanted her hair made up like princess hair again this morning, but this time, she wanted an Elsa braid. I did the best I could with her limited length of hair, lol! I think she expected to have a braid as long as Elsa's. I explained that she needs to grow more hair before that's possible. Unless we get her extensions.
When we got to school, she wanted to take her morning picture sitting on the stairs again. I wonder if that will be her new favorite morning photo location? In the back, the chair wasn't outside due to the rain, so had to take her shoes off and finish her part of the routine. She is a particular kid. I wonder where she got that from?
When we walked inside, she put away her lunch box and she wanted to play with her friends…until she realized we were leaving. She wanted me to hold her, so I picked her up and gave her a kiss and then had Ryan give her a kiss and then told her to hug the director…and when she did, the director took her and she cried and cried. And then was fine within a minute of us leaving. Again. Crocodile tears, I tell ya!
After gymnastics, the kids sat in a circle and worked on some math. Ellie wanted to bring over the rug for them to work on. She loves being in charge of that rug! They used everyone's ages to help in counting. Ellie let everyone know that she's TWO!
We also found out that Ellie is sock shaming people. She's asking all the other kids why they don't have awesome socks like her Batman socks. More kids are coming in with fun socks now. And showing them to Ellie. My kid!
Before we left, the director asked us what our education goals are for Ellie. She specifically wanted to know if we want her to skip grades. Ryan and I talked about it and we feel that if we (Ryan, me, her teachers) feel she is academically, socially and emotionally ready to advance, we are all for it. Everyone knows Ellie is extremely bright, but being capable isn't the only factor. Some people might feel it's premature to think of these things, but Ellie's current school goes up to 2nd grade. So, the director needs to know what our plans are and what our expectations are so she can plot Ellie's school work accordingly. Since Ellie is a November baby, I definitely want to skip her at least one grade.
As we left and got ready to take Ellie's end of day photo, I noticed just how crazy her hair looked! Her Elsa braid did not fair well during school!
Ellie woke up and snuggled with me for 10 or so minutes. When we got up, we knew we didn't have black shorts or skirt (the Tues/Thurs uniform is a maroon polo and black shorts/skirts/pants), so let her wear black leggings. She looked so tiny in her school uniform. Her skirts and dresses are a bit bulkier, but those tights are so, well, tight! She let me put her hair up in pig tails, which was a nice change. She doesn't like it when her curls get in her face, so I think she's becoming more and more OK with having her hair up, because it bothers her less.
When we got to school, she wanted to take morning photos in front of the sign. As we were taking the photos, a friend arrived and she wanted to take morning photos with him, but he wasn't having it, lol! We went to the back of the school to take off her shoes. We loved her outfit today. She wanted to wear her Batman socks and her Darth Vader shoes. So cool!
Once inside, Ellie put away her lunchbox and water bottle and easily said goodbye again. She wanted to play with her friends and build a "car" out of LEGOs. It looked more like the Weasley's house, but I guess it can be whatever they think it is! While there, we talked about photos for the school's website. I'm excited to see how it turns out.
When we were leaving, Ellie said, "Bye mommy and daddy" in a very British accent. It was weird and hilarious! The director of her school calls us mommy and daddy, so when we're at school, Ellie calls us that. At home, we're still Mama and Dada.
Ellie enjoyed her carrots for lunch – nice deviation from all fruit, all the time. She is still a food thief, but what are ya gonna do? Ellie always wants to sit next to her friend, Hazel, apparently. When Hazel's brother asks for her to sit next to him, Hazel says, "No, I have to sit next to my friend, Ellie!" It's so nice that Ellie is making friends. Hazel's mom talked to the director about getting our girls together for a play date. We might see if they want to go to The Thinkery. And we could invite cousin Austin, too, so Hazel's older brother has someone to play with that's his own age.
Ellie had fun coloring with Mrs. Cheryl. They sent us some photos of her coloring in the animals. She did a pretty good job, but she still likes making lots of lots of circles when she colors. No matter what she's coloring. It helps us identify her art easily, lol!
After nap time, Ellie helped put away everything, but she complains that things are too heavy. This is an ongoing thing with her. She has a cup of water in her hand. It's too heavy. She has a bowl of grapes. It's too heavy. She has a shirt. It's too heavy, lol! They sent us a photo of her carrying to bags of nap mats…and she was making this super grumpy face. That must be here new "It's too heavy!" face.
When we arrived at the school to pick up Ellie, they motioned for us to wait outside. Ellie was peeing on the potty and they didn't want to distract her. She later told me, "This is what big girls do!" Uhm, yeah! Once we went inside, gymnastics class started. It was more like Kindermusik, where they dance and learn about motion and moving to music. Ellie was anxious to show off her skills…but the instructor was a bit…militant, lol. But the kids seemed to enjoy it and I can't imagine trying to manage an entire room of kids and do some sort of organized program. While we were watching, Hazel's mom arrived, so we chatted for a bit. It's nice to meet more parents.
The director told us that Ellie spends time in both the young class and the older class, since she's very capable. She said Ellie's very bright and an excellent student when challenged. Reminds me of myself during school. If I wasn't challenged, I was causing trouble. Never anything really bad. Just talking to friends and distracting them while they were trying to finish their work. Ellie is similar, lol. She's also a bit of a know-it-all, like me. They showed her a picture of a jet, but wanted her to call it an airplane. They were going over flashcards for different letters of the alphabet and the jet was the "A" card for airplane. She kept telling the teacher it was a jet and, therefore, did not start with the letter a, lol. So my kid!
When we were leaving, Hazel was leaving also and she was sitting on the stairs in order to put her shoes on… So, of course, Ellie wanted to do the same thing. We caused a bit of a traffic jam.
We continued our morning routine of Ellie crawling into bed with me so I can snuggle with her for 10 or so minutes before we get up. She really wanted to snuggle for much longer, but I explained that we were short on time. I brushed her hair and helped her get dressed. She was pretty clingy this morning and did a lot of crying. She didn't want to leave me. She knows that this morning routine means I will eventually leave her at school. Once there (and once I'm gone), she's totally happy. But she still doesn't like the idea of me leaving.
Ryan packed her lunch (sandwich, yogurt, watermelon and grapes) and water bottle and we went on our way to school. Ellie wanted her morning photo by the sign and then we walked to the back of the school to take off her outside shoes. Once inside, we put away her lunchbox and water bottle. The director tried to help with this, but Ellie was adamant about doing it herself. We chatted with the director and her husband about the website and the photos I took for them. They seemed very pleased. They have a few other photos that they want on the website that I didn't take, so I'm going to edit those photos for them. This way, the photos all look consistent. It was time for us to go, but Ellie wasn't having that. She held onto me and cried again. I gave her all the hugs and kisses…but then it was time to leave. She cried and cried, but she was fine once we left.
Traffic wasn't nearly as bad today, so we got home in record time. It was 8:30, so straight to work for me. And Ryan had to pack the van for Dragon*Con.
On the way to pick up Ellie, we chatted about the upcoming road trip to Atlanta. Ellie is such a good sport. She's been taking road trips since she was 4 or so months old. We're so lucky to have a kid who is adaptable and pleasant when traveling (and when not traveling, lol). When we arrived at her school, Ellie was sitting on her nap mat and trying to sing another student to sleep. She doesn't take naps, so I guess she was trying to help everyone else nap. I heard my name, "Mama? Mommy? MAMA!!!" She occasionally calls me Mommy now because that's what the director calls mothers.
During school, Ellie worked on her letters. They worked on writing letters and picking out pictures of things that start with that letter. Her teacher said she's doing a great job and that she has an amazing attention span for her age. They also rolled a 3 sided die and would pick out the corresponding quantity of strawberries for the number they rolled. Ellie also got to do some connecting of dots. She ended up drawing a vase.

In the last months I'm all about Design Sprints.
If you haven't read it already go straight to Amazon and buy Sprint by Jake Knapp.
A Design Sprint offers a transformative formula for testing ideas that works whether you're at a startup or a large organization. Within five days, you'll move from idea to prototype to decision, saving you and your team countless hours and countless dollars.
Recently we were asked to set-up a Design Thinking workshop for a company that required Rebranding. Given the confidentiality of the assignment I can't share too many details but at least I can list the activities that we did in our two hour workshop.
The ideal team size is 5-8 people. Larger teams should be split into smaller teams working on the same challenge or separate challenges depending on your desired deliverables.
So start by identifing key stakeholders in the company with mixed roles.
Set up the stage at least 40 minutes prior the workshop and prepare the room. Maybe to a trial Run if you have new collegues that have never attended a Design Thinking workshop, it is vital that everyone feels compfortable.
After welcoming participants, and doing introductions, start by explaining what Design Thinking is. Keep it simple, explain how design thinking is a process—applicable to all walks of life—of creating new and innovative ideas and solving problems. It is not limited to a specific industry or area of expertise.
I usually like to share a personal story about Design, passion and emotion. It is important to share how emotions have a crucial role in the human ability to understand the world, and how they learn new things.
For example: aesthetically pleasing objects appear to the user to be more effective, by virtue of their sensual appeal. This is due to the affinity the user feels for an object that appeals to them, due to the formation of an emotional connection with the object.
Created by Alexander Osterwalder, the canvas is a simple way to understand your customers needs, and design products and services they want. The Value Proposition zooms in on only two blocks: Value Proposition and Customer Segment, in order to describe them in more detail. It helps the entrepreneur to project in the best way the business Value Proposition to solve problems, difficulties and needs of customers.

Customer Jobs: In this box you gather all the customer needs, the problems that they are trying to solve and the tasks they are trying to perform or complete.
Customer Pains: In the box 'Customer Pains' you gather all the negative emotions and undesired costs, situations and risk which the customer could experience before, during and after getting the job is done.
Customer Gains: In the box 'Customer Gains' you gather all the customer's benefits and desires, and may span personal, functional, or economical etc. For example, this box could include positive emotions, functional requirements, or specific cost savings.
Product & Services: In the box 'Product & Services' you list all the products and services which your value proposition is build around. This includes for example the services that you offer or the help the customer receives either a functional, social, or emotional.
Pain Relievers: In the box 'Pain Relievers' you describe how your products addresses the challenges needs and the pains of the customer, how you eliminate negative emotions, undesired costs or avoidable situations.
Gain Creators: In the box 'Gain Creators' you describe how your product creates customer gain, how it offers an added value to your customer.
Explain the team how the Value Proposition Canvas helps you to challenge, design, and build the company's Value Proposition in a structured and thoughtful way. It is important to create empathy with the stakeholders, start by providing some examples and stay assured that the whole room will start sharing their own point of view.
It is a clever exercise that will help how to discover the company's brand personality so you can use this style in all the marketing efforts you undertake in the future.
Ask to the stakeholders to place dots closest to wherever the company falls along the spectrum. Explain that the must not over think this, and mustn't be afraid to envision where they'd like the company to be, even if it's not there now.
This is when the magic happens. In this exercise you will create together the high-level mood-board.
For each adjective of the Brand Personality Spectrum print 3-4 photographs (I usually select a total of 48 from unsplash.com).
For each row of the spectrum, place a cluster of the relative photographs and ask the stakeholders to place a dot sticker on one preferred photo for each group.
Show the following color/emotion matrix.
Colors are used to represent emotions; especially in advertising.
PAY ATTENTION: depending on the country, some colors have different meanings.
Based on the Brand Personality spectrum, select with the stakeholders two colours.
There you have it, you have concluded your Design Thinking Workshop.
Now you may go back to your studio and elaborate your findings in order to kickoff the whole redesign process.
As a designer you must understand that to be creative, you must follow a design a process.
There is no such thing as creating a logo design out of thin air or even imagining what a logo will look like without first understanding why the logo is needed.
Last but not least you will be able to create a strong empathy with your client allowing them to have a sneak peek on your design process.
Do you have any other interesting Design Thinking exercises that can be done in under 2 hours?
