Campfire safety: If you love Ontario Parks, don't burn them!
Today's post comes from Marketing and Communications summer student Mitch Jackson. His campfire talents include cooking stuffed peppers, grilling barbecue chicken, and always managing to forget to pack a lighter.
For many campers, a fire is a must. Gathering 'round the flames, sharing stories with friends and family, making s'mores, and burning marshmallows are all part of the quintessential camping experience.
While you may have the perfect campfire recipes, or the perfect campfire building technique, you should also be aware of how to keep your campfire perfectly safe.
During the camping season, Ontario experiences — on average — at least one wildfire every day caused by an unextinguished or unattended campfire. Recreational forest users – including campers – are responsible for 200 wildfires per year. The risk is there with every lit match and clicked lighter.
The risk is also higher in the summer because of dry weather. Check whether your park is under a fire ban here.
If your campfire starts a wildfire, you can be held responsible for suppression costs and/or damages.
So if you love Ontario – don't burn it!
I love campfires – how can I make sure that my campfire is safe?
It all starts with location. Luckily, most Ontario Parks campsites have designated fire pits that provide a safe location for you to have a fire on your site. You should clear a one metre space around this pit, and remove all pine needles, grasses, leaves and twigs.
What if I'm in the backcountry and there isn't a pit?
Select a site that is sheltered from high winds and has easy access to water. Backcountry campers should always have an appropriate camp stove and fuel – it's not just a considerate camping practice, but a safe one as well. If there's a fire ban, the stove must be designed to use gas, propane or naphtha, and you must be able to extinguish the flame by a control valve or by closing the stove.
How big can my fire be?
By law, your fire cannot be more than one metre in height and one metre in diameter. Small fires are safer, easier to control, and easier to put out.
But I need a big fire to be able to cook!
Not true. A small fire will let you get close enough to cook and will also keep cooking tools from blackening. Remember that the heat you want for cooking comes from the coals of the fire.
And of course, the money you save on firewood can go towards more marshmallows!
Now that I have my fire going, what do I do?
Remember to always have someone watching the fire. Never leave your campfire unattended. If you start a campfire, you are responsible for tending it and ensuring it is kept under control. It's kind of like your child.
Also, ensure you have a pail of water and a shovel to control the fire.
Okay, what about my ACTUAL kids?
While your kids are busy somehow getting marshmallow goop over every piece of camping equipment you own, make sure that they're not playing with matches and lighters (or else Smokey Bear will no longer call them friends!).
Also, remind them not to fling or flail burning marshmallows. Blowing on them is a much better tactic.
Many of our northern parks like Killarney and French River offer collapsible fire buckets in their stores.
Help protect our beautiful parks!

Mediation Philosophy
"Failing to Prepare Is Preparing for Failure"— John Wooden
Mediations should provide clients with a genuine opportunity and an optimal environment to make informed and rational decisions on whether, and on what terms, to resolve disputes by settlement rather than litigation and trial.
To that end, Mr. Spector prepares for mediations by carefully studying court papers and confidential mediation statements furnished by the parties' lawyers to understand the factual questions and legal issues involved. By doing so, he is prepared to discuss the merits of the case, thereby enabling counsel and the parties to better assess the likelihood of a favorable or unfavorable outcome if the case does not settle.
Time and circumstances permitting, Mr. Spector speaks with all counsel (separately or collectively) before and, if necessary, following the mediation to help him better understand the legal issues and factual questions presented, the emotional "terrain" of the dispute, as well as the parties' respective core interests and needs, with the express understanding that all such conversations are privileged.
Mr. Spector expects parties and their attorneys to prepare for mediation because, in the words of John Wooden, "failing to prepare is preparing for failure."
In preparation for mediation Mr. Spector expects each attorney and client to discuss the following:
The client's expectations, goals and objectives in the resolving the dispute
Attorneys' fees, experts' fees, and costs incurred to date
Through trial and post-trial motions projected attorneys' and experts' fees along with likely costs (e.g. ESI, travel, court reporters, videographers, trial graphics, electronic courtroom technology, etc.)
The strengths and weaknesses of the client's case
The range of litigation outcomes, from the client's best case scenario (sometimes referred to as the "BATNA" or best alternative to a negotiated agreement) to the worst case scenario, and the probability of each identifiable outcome
The benefits of a negotiated settlement and the most significant reasons settlement may be preferable to litigation and trial
The tax implications of a settlement and what attorney will provide tax advice on any such issues
Who will attend the mediation and how the process works
A negotiation plan for the mediation
Necessary Decision-Making Information
Mediations often impasse or adjourn because a party lacks or claims to lack information in the possession of the adverse party necessary to making a decision (e.g. damage calculations and supporting documentation, expert disclosures/reports, financial information where inability to satisfy a judgment is an issue). Mr. Spector asks that he be contacted immediately if counsel lacks any such information so he can facilitate the exchange and disclosure process. Unless counsel advise otherwise, Mr. Spector assumes the parties have all information necessary to make a settlement decision at mediation.
Never be disagreeable just because you disagree.
Time spent getting even would be better spent trying to get ahead.
Do not permit what you cannot do to interfere with what you can do.
Courtesy between opponents is of special worth as a proof of valor. It costs little and helps much.
When you come to the fork in the road, take it.
Wise people sometimes change their minds, but fools never do.
There is no good or bad luck except wisdom and foolishness.
When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers.
Kikuyu proverb
The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.
A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject.

Q: how to redraw an arrow whose angle is updated with a slider in matplotlib I am drawing an arrow at an angle and using a slider to change the angle of the arrow and then replotting it.  My issue is that I cannot get the old arrow to go away.  If I put dsarrow.remove() within the update function I get a local variable not defined error.  Thoughts on how to remove the old arrow before I plot a new one. Thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  My code is below:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
from matplotlib.widgets import Slider, Button, RadioButtons, CheckButtons # import the Slider widget

def updateArrow(val):
    NewAngle = svalueT.val
    dsarrow.remove() ## Trying to remove the old arrow but get an error
    xdsl = 1*np.cos(NewAngle * torad)
    ydsl = 1*np.sin(NewAngle * torad)
    darrow = 0.25
    ydsa = 6*np.tan(NewAngle * torad)+darrow
    dsarrow = ax1.arrow(6, ydsa, xdsl, ydsl, head_width=0.15, head_length=0.2, fc='b', ec='b',label="dsa")

#General constants
torad = np.pi/180
xmin = 0
ymin = 0
how xmax = 10
ymax = 10
axcolor = 'lightgoldenrodyellow'

Wedge_Angle = 1.

s_Tmin = 0
s_Tmax = 90
s_Tinit = Wedge_Angle

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(8,6))
ax1 = fig.add_axes([0.10, 0.30, 0.65, 0.60],xlim=(xmin,xmax),ylim=(ymin, ymax))
axis = plt.gca()

## Downstream arrow
xdsl = 1*np.cos(Wedge_Angle * torad)
ydsl = 1*np.sin(Wedge_Angle * torad)
darrow = 0.25
ydsa = 6*np.tan(Wedge_Angle * torad)+darrow
dsarrow = ax1.arrow(6, ydsa, xdsl, ydsl, head_width=0.15, head_length=0.2, fc='b', ec='b',label="arrow")

#Plot slider and Reset button
slider_T = plt.axes([0.12, 0.10, 0.60, 0.04], facecolor=axcolor)

# Now define slider info

I've had a really peaceful day walking from Rua to Santiago. Right now I'm at Monte do Gozo (the hill of joy) and I can finally see Santiago below me. Just another 3 or 4 kilometers to go! I'm standing next to the two statues of the pilgrims, totally alone, not a sound except the wind and the tweeting birds.
I'm about 8 kilometers from Portomarin, so I only have another 4 or 5 kilometers to go today. The road has been very busy so far today, but as normal, I'm falling back through the groups of pilgrims until I don't really see anyone else behind me. This generally means that I'll have quite a peaceful journey from here.


In 2006, Vermont passed the Health Care Affordability Acts (HCAA) to create universal access to affordable health care, contain costs and improve the quality of care. Five years after comprehensive health reform legislation, coupled with aggressive outreach strategies and premium subsidies, the percentage of residents with health care coverage has rapidly increased, as has the take-up of Catamount Health, the public insurance program created under the HCAA.
States will require additional federal funding as current funding mechanisms, such as those underlying Catamount Health, are unsustainable over the long-term.
As a national leader in state health reform, the policies and practices involved with HCAA implementation in Vermont will be helpful as other states consider implementing either their own health reforms or the reforms specified by the Affordable Care Act.

Writer Gloria Hartley for Fashion Mannuscript caught up with Terese Sydonna Brown to find out more about this inspired designer.
GH: How did your upbringing influence your career as a designer?
My upbringing has heavily influenced my career as a fashion designer. As a child, I was constantly surrounded by fashion. Though my parents were not creative people my mother worked in the industry, and was always stylishly dressed. Oftentimes I would play dress up with her wardrobe and pretend that I was somewhere fancy with Barbie. My parents pushed me to do my very best in all endeavors, and instilled in me the importance of taking pride in one's appearance.
GH: What does fashion mean to you?
Fashion has taken me on a journey that has been challenging, but rewarding. It leaves me wanting more. Through fashion I have been blessed to travel to different countries, experience different music and peoples. I have been able to connect to others in a way that I could not have before I became a designer. Fashion is its own language, and when I travel to countries where I do not speak the language I find that there is no need for words. Fashion just is.
GH: Who is your biggest inspiration?
My parents constantly inspire me to do better. My mother is always telling me in Jamaican patois that " if yuh want good yuh nose a guh run," which translates to, if you want something bad enough you must work hard, for there will be challenges. Another of my mother's favorite sayings is, "Rome was not built in a day." There is always a proverb for every one of life's challenges and rewards! My parents brought me to the US in search of a better life for our family, and taught me to dream big. Each day I remind myself to do just that.
GH: If you could design a look for anyone, who would it be?
It would have to be for the First Lady Michelle Obama. I admire her poise as well as her spirit. She radiates color from the inside as well as the outside in any ensemble she wears. She is a true role model for young girls and women alike.
GH: Where do you see your collection eventually selling?
Terese Sydonna is currently carried in small specialty stores on the east coast, Canada, and on my website, www.teresesydonn.com. I dream of one day seeing the collection carried in exclusive specialty stores around the world such as Opening Ceremony, Nordstrom's, Barney's, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Shop Bop, and Net-A-Porter, to name a few.
GH: What advice do you have for women wanting to grow in the fashion industry?
I would advise women wanting to grow in the fashion industry to find a good mentor, whether formal or informal who is going to be honest with you. Being an entrepreneur can be very lonely, but having a strong support system of friends and family certainly alleviates some of this. I would also advise not to rush; really spend time building your resume and discovering your voice as a designer.
GH: Who is Terese Brown—the woman?
My personal style is an eclectic mix of high-low pieces that create unusual combinations—sometimes colorful, but minimal. Comfort is foremost important to me, so I tend to dress for my mood. I want to look like I tried, but with minimal effort.
What was the inspiration for your Spring 2017 collection?
The Terese Sydonna Spring/Summer 2017 collection was inspired by artist, Romare Bearden's painting, Blue is Smoke of War, White is the Bones of Men.

In abstract algebra, the total quotient ring, or total ring of fractions, is a construction that generalizes the notion of the field of fractions of an integral domain to commutative rings R that may have zero divisors. The construction embeds R in a larger ring, giving every non-zero-divisor of R an inverse in the larger ring.  If the homomorphism from R to the new ring is to be injective, no further elements can be given an inverse.

Definition

Let  be a commutative ring and let  be the set of elements which are not zero divisors in ; then  is a multiplicatively closed set. Hence we may localize the ring  at the set  to obtain the total quotient ring .

If  is a domain, then  and the total quotient ring is the same as the field of fractions. This justifies the notation , which is sometimes used for the field of fractions as well, since there is no ambiguity in the case of a domain.

Since  in the construction contains no zero divisors, the natural map  is injective, so the total quotient ring is an extension of .

Examples

For a product ring , the total quotient ring  is the product of total quotient rings . In particular, if A and B are integral domains, it is the product of quotient fields.

For the ring of holomorphic functions on an open set D of complex numbers, the total quotient ring is the ring of meromorphic functions on D, even if D is not connected.

In an Artinian ring, all elements are units or zero divisors. Hence the set of non-zero divisors is the group of units of the ring, , and so . But since all these elements already have inverses, .

In a commutative von Neumann regular ring R, the same thing happens. Suppose a in R is not a zero divisor. Then in a von Neumann regular ring a = axa for some x in R, giving the equation a(xa − 1) = 0. Since a is not a zero divisor, xa = 1, showing a is a unit. Here again, .

In algebraic geometry one considers a sheaf of total quotient rings on a scheme, and this may be used to give the definition of a Cartier divisor.

The total ring of fractions of a reduced ring

Proof: Every element of Q(A) is either a unit or a zerodivisor. Thus, any proper ideal I of Q(A) is contained in the set of zerodivisors of Q(A); that set equals the union of the minimal prime ideals  since Q(A) is reduced.  By prime avoidance, I must be contained in some . Hence, the ideals  are maximal ideals of Q(A).  Also, their intersection is zero. Thus, by the Chinese remainder theorem applied to Q(A),
.
Let S be the multiplicatively closed set of non-zerodivisors of A.  By exactness of localization,
,
which is already a field and so must be .

Generalization

If  is a commutative ring and  is any multiplicatively closed set in , the localization  can still be constructed, but the ring homomorphism from  to  might fail to be injective.  For example, if , then  is the trivial ring.

I've often remarked on how I feel as if there are two minds inside my head, one that is essentially me and my body and the down to earth human, and the then the mind that sits just above the top of the head who drives the body and who processes complex thought.
The one above is like the psyche, it's the one that makes the decisions and who recognizes the world as a humorous, often times ridiculous set of circumstances. It's the one who is at the heart of the question, who am I?
The one down below is the one that interacts with the world and moves and sees and inhabits the body.
When social interactions occur it's as if the driving mind has to consciously process when to laugh, when to emote, the right words to say and everything else, it has to feed these things to the body to perform the interaction correctly.
The higher mind sees and processes everything while the body is the one affected by circumstances.
For example, when something not quite right happens the body gets nervous, its heart rate increases, it can feel pain, it can shake and it can get sweaty but the higher mind just sits there observing the physical and emotional processes and analyzing what needs to be done.
It's weird that I feel like two beings inhabiting the same being, an ethereal higher mind and the conscious body.
When I get nervous or anxious or depressed I retreat to the higher mind and watch it all unfold and while these things still make me nervous it's cool and weird and helpful that I can recognize them as bodily processes.
I don't know if any of this makes sense to anyone but it's something I've experienced and needed to examine.
At the same time though there's a devil that lives inside my head that can throw both minds off. He says that people are making fun of me or out to get me.
I know that voice is not part of the main two minds and it seems to just come out of nowhere, out of darkness and I can't seem to rationalize it in the moment. It's like that voice is not a part of me and is just invading my mind space. I don't know where it came from and I know it won't go away and my higher mind, although rational gets caught up in everything it says.
I realize none of this may make sense but it's the stuff I deal with every day of my life.
From talking with other people with schizophrenia I know I'm not alone in this.
Usually at this point I offer up advice to be able to ignore the myriad voices and to center yourself in the rational higher mind but the only thing I've ever been able to do to quiet the demon is to escape the situation I'm in and rationalize things by talking myself down.
My body still gets nervous and anxious and my higher mind gets confused when the demon speaks.
Acceptance of the voice though goes a long way, if you just accept that there will be situations where the demon voice will speak and confuse you, you can learn to live with it and realize that it's just part of the experience of being schizophrenic.
It will happen and in those moments, when you realize that it's happening you can take the power back and find solace in the higher mind.

A Page Dedicated to the INFJ Personality Type
Dear INFJs, Welcome!
I have created this page for you. Below you will find a brief overview and portrait of the INFJ, blog posts that I had written over the years, and books and resources for INFJs.
If you like this page, please bookmark it for easy reference and share it with other INFJs.
Yong Kang (aka Nerdy Creator)
What Is INFJ?
INFJ is one of the 16 personalities found in MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator). It is said to be the rarest MBTI type, about 1-2 percent of the population.
The acronym, INFJ, stands for Introversion (I), Intuition (N), Feeling (F), and Judging (J). Each letter represents how an individual prefers to use their mind to perceive and organize information.
So what this means for an INFJ personality type is we prefer to:
Introversion (I): Pay attention to our inner world.
Intuition (N): See patterns, possibilities, and the big picture.
Feeling (F): Use feelings and values in decision making.
Judging (J): Have a structured life and closure.
But this doesn't mean that we can't do the opposite. It's just not our preferred or habitual way of using our minds.
To understand INFJ in-depth, you will have to learn about the INFJ cognitive function stack.
INFJ Characteristics and Personality Traits
Commonly known as The Advocate or The Counselor, INFJs want to use their intuitive and empathetic gifts to help other people or the world. We have compassion for others but at the same time, we are often reserved due to our introverted nature.
Furthermore, we feel drained every so often from our interactions with others and we need time alone to recharge. So sometimes, we might appear aloof, private, or even mysterious.
Even though we are intuitive, we might not share what we know with others.
Gentle, quiet, soft-spoken, and often misunderstood, we only open up if we feel safe to share or we feel that the other person will get what we are saying.
Like all personality types, we have our strengths and weaknesses. Below are a few of our strengths and weaknesses.
INFJ Strengths
Insightful and deep.
Creative and imaginative.
Empathetic and easily understand other people's point of view.
Ability to understand complex concepts.
Always learning and improving ourselves.
INFJ Weaknesses
Too single-minded and stubborn.
Procrastinate when tasks are uninspiring or routine.
Get too caught up with the big picture that we overlook details.
Sensitive to criticisms and tend to avoid conflict.
Perfectionistic and have high expectation for ourselves and others.

The author of Hebrews after showing that Jesus Christ is better than the prophets and the angels draws a comparison between Christ and Moses. In an unmistakable manner he stresses Christ's superiorities, but is careful not to offend this Jewish readers.
The first readers were tempted to forsake Jesus for Moses. To do so would only repeat the unfaithfulness as in Moses day in a greater way because Jesus is far greater than Moses.
"Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession; He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house" (Hebrews 3:1-2).
It is interesting that only in the letter to the Hebrews is Christ called "High Priest" numerous times (Heb 2:17; 4:14f; 5:5, 10; 6:20; 7:26, 28; 8:1, 3; 9:11; 10:21).
Both Moses and Christ were faithful to God.
"Holy brethren" (adelphos hagios) are fellow Christians or Christian brothers. They are believers, saints, the set apart ones who have been set apart for God (Gal. 1:11; 1 Cor. 1:2; Col. 1:2, etc). The stress is on our position in salvation. The adjective "holy" stresses that they have been sanctified by Jesus the sanctifier. The brethren are holy because they are made holy by Jesus. "For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren" (Hebrews 2:11; cf. 1 Cor. 1:2). He is their High Priest who has made "purification for the sins of the people" (v. 17). The brothers have been sanctified and may enter into the presence of a holy God. Their sins have been removed by the suffering death of Jesus. To say the believers are "holy" does not imply they are holy in themselves, but they are "sanctified" or "consecrated" because they have been chosen and set apart by God.
Christians are "partakers of a heavenly calling" because of the effectual call of God to salvation. The effectual call comes from heaven and is to heaven in its appeal. This heavenly calling in the letters of Paul always refers to the successful and accepted call of God. The heavenly calling of God is irrevocable (Rom. 11:29). "I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints" (Ephesians 1:18; cf. 4:1, 4). God "who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity" (2 Timothy 1:9).
We are "partakers of the heavenly calling" because Christ became one of us through His incarnation. God issued the call. We are brothers because we share in the heavenly call. We share in everything Christ has. "What He has, we have; where He is, we are. He is the Hoy One of God, therefore we are holy. He has been 'made higher than the heavens,' therefore we are 'partakers of the heavenly calling'" observes A. W. Pink. Where our treasure is, there will be our hearts also. Christ is our Treasure, therefore consider Him.
There is personal responsibility that goes with that calling. "Consider Jesus" (katanoesate) denotes serious attention, to fix one's eyes or mind on something to study it carefully. It is the action of the mind to apprehend certain facts about a thing. It means to direct one's whole mind to an object or to immerse oneself in the study. This is not a quick fleeting momentary look at Jesus, but a careful continuous observation and consideration so one can understand fully. The readers of this letter were slowly allowing their attention to drift away from Christ. They were losing their focus.
Nowhere else in the New Testament is Jesus called an "apostle." However, Jesus spoke often of being sent by His Father (Luke 10:16; John 3:17, 34; 5:23, 30, 36-38, 43; 6:29, 57; 7:16, 29; 8:42; 10:36; 11:42; 12:49; 13:3; 17:3; 20:21; 1 John 4:10). The author of Hebrews deliberately chooses to call Him "the Apostle," and he reserves the word for Christ. God sent Jesus on His mission as His official representative and spokesman. Apostolos is one who is sent forth such as an ambassador empowered with all of the authority to represent the person and speak for the one who sends him. He cannot speak his own opinion. He can speak only the words his superior give him. The person sent is on a commission to do something. Moses was sent by God (Exodus 3:10), but in the person of Jesus God has spoken His final word. "For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ" (John 1:17).
Moses was faithful in the household of God (Num. 12:7), and so was Jesus (Heb. 3:2). Each was faithful, but Jesus has infinitely superior glory because He is on an entirely different and vastly higher rank (v. 3). The "house" is God's house, and refers to God's people.
There is another reason why Jesus is exalted in higher glory than Moses. Moses was never called a high priest. We have been introduced to the "merciful and faithful high priest in the things pertaining to God" in Hebrews 2:17. He has made "propitiation for the sins of the people." The very mention of Him would cause the readers to remember the Day of Atonement. Jesus takes away sins so that God's wrath does not fall upon the sinner. Only the blood of Jesus could ultimately and actually cover our sins and deal with our sin problem. What the blood of bulls could not do, Jesus did in His atoning death (Heb. 10:4). In Hebrews 4:14 Jesus is called "the great High Priest" for indeed He is. Moses could never provide eternal salvation, but Jesus the Son of God and great High Priest did.
Now the author of Hebrews tells us Jesus is the "High Priest" who represents a holy God before men, and men before God. He is the perfect High Priest because He is the perfect man and perfect God. He is the God-man. He is the only person through whom man comes before God and God comes to man. He is able to assist us as we undergo temptation. No angel was ever qualified to represent us before God. As a faithful High Priest He is worthy of our confession.
As the Apostle sent from God Jesus brought God's message to men and returned to heaven as our great High Priest to represent us before God. Jesus was far greater in glory than Moses and Aaron. The writer has compared Moses to an apostle, and Aaron the first high priest of Israel. The functions of these two brothers was perfectly combined and fulfilled in the one person Jesus. In the person and work of Jesus there comes together the apostolic and high-priestly function in one person. He came as the apostle of God in order as the High Priest of God to give His life as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Jesus is the Apostle and High Priest of our confession (homologias). The author of Hebrews uses the human name "Jesus" to stress the work of Jesus for us on the earth with the two titles to declare our confession of Him as God's supreme Apostle and High Priest. "Confession is a better translation than profession, means to speak the same thing as another or to agree with someone else. We have received the final word of God through the teaching and preaching of Jesus Christ and we wholeheartedly agree with what He has said. We, therefore, must consider attentively and thoughtfully what God has said through His Apostle.
Jesus "was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house" (Hebrews 3:2). God the Father appointed Jesus to be the mediator between God and men. Thank God Jesus was faithful to God in providing expiation and cleansing of all of our sins. If Jesus had not been faith in His calling we would still be in our sins. Shall we lose all of His faithfulness by refusing to trust in Him? The author proceeds to a strong warning. Only those who have been cleansed by His atoning sacrifice can be faithful to Him.
Jesus "was faithful" is a present participle meaning that the work God appointed Jesus to accomplish was not terminated when He was on the earth, but continues in heaven. Jesus continues to be faithful in His office as High Priest. He was faithful in accomplishing our salvation and He remains faithful.
The term "house" is a synonym for the family of God. "We have a great priest over the house of God" (Hebrews 10:21).
Moses was a part of the house Christ built (Heb. 3:3-4).
"For He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the builder of the house has more honor than the house. For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God" (Hebrews 3:3-4).
No matter how majestic a building may be the architect who designed and built it gets more glory than the building itself.
In the analogy of the house God is the architect and Jesus is the builder of God's house. Moses is a servant in God's house. Moses' faithfulness is not in question. Since God built everything, and Jesus Christ built God's house, Jesus is God.
God the Father builds everything through His Son. Jesus is the founder and constructs the spiritual house of God. Because Christ constructs God's house, He is worthy of greater honor than Moses. He is seated at the right hand of Majesty on high (Heb. 1:3).
The faithfulness of Moses is not less than that of Jesus. Both were faithful. Moses considered the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt (Heb. 11:26). However, the relation of Moses to the house was less than the relation of Jesus to that same house because Jesus built the house. God who made Jesus the Apostle and High Priest crowned Him with a greater honor and glory.
God promised David that He would build a house for him and a son would build a house for Him (1 Chron. 17:10-12). Jesus fulfilled that promise as the eternal Son. The LORD God builds the "house," and the incarnate Son belongs to the line of David, and therefore builds the "house" by His atoning sacrifice for sin.
The one who built the house not only constructed it, but planned it and provided the furnishings. He is the master builder. Moses was considered part of the household of faith, but He who built all things is God. Moses was only "in" the house, but Jesus built the whole house and made Moses what he was in God's house. The Son was "over" the house. The important thing the author of Hebrews is stressing is the deity of Jesus. In verse three Christ has been stated to be the builder of the house of God. For the author of Hebrews Jesus is God's unique, one of a kind Son. Moreover in verse four the deity of Christ is intended. Jesus is worthy of much more glory than Moses because He did not cease to be the eternal Son. He was both Moses' God and His Redeemer. Moses was not without sin; he needed a savior.
As the Redeemer Jesus Christ is the builder of the house of God's people who as "living stones" are "built into a spiritual house" and a "holy temple" (1 Pet. 2:5; Eph. 2:21). Jesus is both servant and sovereign.
"Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later; but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end" (Hebrews 3:5-6).
"Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant" is a quotation from Numbers 12:6, 7. The Jewish people could not imagine of anyone standing closer to God than Moses. The author of Hebrews does not disparage the faithfulness of Moses by quoting Numbers 12:7 in the Septuagint.
Moses was a servant "in" God's house; Christ is a Son "over" God's house. Moses was servant, but Christ is the absolute sovereign over the house.
Moses' standing as a servant corresponds to the angels who are servants to the heirs of salvation (Heb. 1:14).
The word used to describe Moses as a "servant" is therapon which connotes a willingness to serve, personal service freely rendered out of love and is an honorable position. This word is in contrast to the word "servant" (doulos) signifying one who must serve as a slave. Moses served with dignity. In the New Testament the word therapon is used only of Moses.
As a servant Moses prophesied of the coming of Christ (Deu. 18:15-18). Moses was faith in God's house as a servant who communicated faithfully God's words to Israel, but Christ is faithful as a Son who is the Apostle and High Priest. Therefore, Christ is greater than Moses. Moses was only a part of the house, but Christ was the creator of the house. Moses was a spokesman of the law, but Christ is the living Word of God. Moses pointed to the coming of one who was greater than himself, but Christ is the one of whom Moses wrote. Moses knew something about God, but Christ was God.
The author of Hebrews makes it very clear that Christian believers are involved in this house of God. There is one house in view throughout this passage. All true believers are represented by this house of God or household of faith. When we consider the Old Testament as well as the New it is thrilling to observe that the preexistent Son was also the builder in the Old.
The conditional sentence "if we hold fast our confidence and boast of our hope firm until the end" insists on the fact that continuance in the Christian faith is the test of reality. You will know them by their fruits. This is a repeated theme in Hebrews. The doctrine of the perseverance of the saints insists that believers are people who persevere to the end.
Jesus' parable of the sower gives great instruction on interpreting these conditional sentences in the letter to the Hebrews. The rocky ground did not last long. It had no root system. The sprout sprung up and quickly died (Matthew 13:19-22). That is the concern of the writer. "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1).
Don't abandon your faith in Christ for Judaism. To do so would demonstrate that they had never really become new creatures in Christ. "Hold fast (katanoein) our confidence" (parrhesia) to fix the attention on something so that one can learn its inner meaning. The call of God demands our concentrated gaze. True regenerated believers will persevere to the end. They will keep their focus on Christ. We look ahead to the consummation of our salvation when Christ returns.
Our "confidence" (parrhesia) is translated boldness, frankness, openness, confidence.
What is the household of God today over which Christ rules? It is comprised of all believers. There is only one continuous household of God which goes back to Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham and Moses. Hebrews chapter eleven demonstrates this fact. Speaking of Gentile believers the apostle Paul wrote, "So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints [Jewish Old Testament believers], and are of God's household," (Ephesians 2:19).
The title "Christ" is first mentioned here, and means "Messiah" or "anointed one." The personal name "Jesus, "Yahweh is salvation" was first mentioned in 2:9.
We are members of God's house if we have put our trust in Christ. Our "hope" is the glory of which we are assured that God will bring many sons to glory (Heb. 2:10). Jesus has already been crowned with that glory and honor (Heb. 2:9). We are co-heirs with Him in glory (Heb. 1:2, 14; Rom. 8:17).
Jesus Christ as the Apostle of God who uttered God's final Word. God spoke in the person of the Son, the Second Person of the Trinity, who Himself is the Word. Therefore, we had better pay perfect attention to Him. "For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me" (John 5:46).
Jesus as our great High Priest offered Himself so that the shedding of His blood covered all our sins. "Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:1).
We must pay attention to God's Word if we are God's house and members of His household. Continuance in the Christian life is the test of reality that we have that life. The saints are the people who persevere to the end.
A Christian's eternal security is not dependent upon himself and what he does, but on Christ and His merits. You either have eternal life or you do not.
Security in Christ does not absolve personal responsibility in living the Christian life. Any person whose profession of faith contradicts the quality of his life should examine himself to see whether he is a true believer in Christ or not.


Kindness has been a big issue in our house lately. We are working hard on teaching our girls how to be kind, mostly with each other, their friends and us. I know many of their fights are typical toddler/preschooler and sibling type things but it drives me nuts!! Sometimes I think we are a step away from a full blown toddler wresting match. To work on what kindness is, I went to the library and checked out a bunch of books. We read lots of books, but these were our favorites and the ones that I think are most relevant to preschool age children.
The Mine-O-Saur is about a dinosaur who can't share and always says everything is mine. Then he loses all of his friends and no one wants to play until he changes his behavior.
I Am Caring is a nonfiction text that shows different ways to show that you care to the people in your life.
How Do Dinosaurs Play with Their Friends? is a great book for showing how to play nicely. It shows the negative ways that some children try to play to prove the point that it is not the correct way to play with your friends.
Manners Time is a board book so it is a quick read that gives young children the words they need to show that they have manners.
Sharing Time is another great board book in this series that shows young children how to share. This gives children options for how to share - take turns, use the toy together, wait for another time, etc.
Words Are Not For Hurting is another short board book that helps children learn to use helpful words instead of hurtful words and to use "I'm Sorry" when they do use hurtful words.
In Kindness is Cooler, Mrs. Ruler, a kindergarten teacher has five students miss recess and gives them the challenge to do random acts of kindness to spread kindness around the classroom and world. It is a little long for preschool age children but it has a really good message and great ideas for random acts of kindness that kids can actually do.
When Sophie Gets Angry - Really, Really Angry...is a good book for showing real emotions. It is important for children to know that it is okay to get angry but this opens up a discussion about how to handle it.
When Sophie's Feelings Are Really, Really Hurt is good for showing children what happens when they hurt other people's feelings and also shows how to handle having hurt feelings and be more kind to others.
What If Everybody Did That? gives a bunch of scenarios that kids could be in and shows what would happen if everyone did what they were doing. Kids might not think that what they are doing is a big deal but then they see what a problem it could be if everyone did that same thing.
What are your favorite books for teaching kindness??


If you're looking to renovate your home or apartment, but don't have a big budget to tackle the traditional high return on investment projects like kitchens and bathrooms, a fireplace renovation might be just the project to take on this year.
The first step to a successful and high ROI fireplace renovation is understanding how your current fireplace is constructed and what would be required to renovate. Fireplaces will run the gamut from 70's era painted brick, 80's style stone and mortar looks, and the oh so popular ceramic tile of the 1990s. Ideally you'd want to either remove the existing fascia and expose a cementious substrate, or if the material is fairly flat, sometimes covering up the existing decorative layer with cement board is a good option as well. Doing the demo yourself is a good way to save money on this project, but if swinging a sledge hammer isn't your idea of a good time, you can still save money on the demo side by working with your contractor on agreeing to dispose of the debris. This is an often overlooked cost contractors are going to charge that even a completely inexperienced homeowner can handle if physically capable.
Once you have a cementious substrate to bond to the real fun begins because its time to select what the new finish will be. We recommend you browse in a few different areas to get a feel for what might appeal to your sense of style. Online social networks focused around home design such as Houzz are good options to explore, as well as traditional brick and mortar places like your local tile shop or fireplace dealer. At Norstone, we owe a large part of our success to homeowners renovating their fireplaces and liking the look of our stacked stone veneer rock panel products and for those looking for a sleeker more contemporary style, our honed basalt interlocking tiles and 3D panels as well. Browse our Fireplace Gallery for a great collection of fireplace projects completed in a variety of products, colors, and design styles. What you're looking for in a new fireplace material should be something that complements the room and overall house both style and design wise. For maximum return on investment, stick within the neutral tones of beige, white, and grey, and pick select a look that is middle of the road and doesn't lean too far in the direction of either overly rustic or modern.
For the Do It Yourself crowd, selecting a product that they can install themselves will save anywhere from $5 and up per sq ft. If you're looking to make a change but don't have the budget to renovate the fireplace all the way up the ceiling, a good alternative is to take the tile just up to the mantle, in which case you'd want to be sure to "finish" the section above the mantle with perhaps a piece of artwork, flat screen tv, and lighting.
Depending on the products selected and how much demo, pre-work, and installation you plan on doing yourself, most average fireplace renovations are going to fall between probably $10 to $25 / sq ft. With many fireplaces in the 5-6' wide range and 8-10' tall, many renovation projects aren't going to go above a $2000 budget, and some will be even more budget friendly. With the fireplace often being the center of room and the center of a home, a thoughtful and well executed renovation project can change the whole dynamic of a home and offer a fabulous return on investment, especially for homeowners on smaller renovation budgets.

Q: Run-time error '3264' Access 2010 VBA I'm trying to create a new table with a VBA macro in Access 2010 to store some output and I am unable to do the basics of just creating said empty table below is the relevant code:
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim emptyTdf As DAO.TableDef
Dim rs, emptyRs As DAO.Recordset
Dim fld, emptyFld As DAO.Field
Dim fldnm As String
Dim fldv As Variant
Dim isEmptyField As Boolean

Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rs = dbs.OpenRecordset("AP")
Set emptyTdf = dbs.CreateTableDef("AP_Empty")
Set emptyFld = emptyTdf.CreateField("HID", dbText, 255)
dbs.TableDefs.Append emptyTdf

The last line sets off the run-time error. I've followed a few tutorials online using the DAO method to create tables and my code doesn't deviate, so I guess it is a syntactical gotcha that I've stumbled on.

A: You need to append your field to the TableDef before appending the TableDef itself:
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim emptyTdf As DAO.TableDef
Dim rs, emptyRs As DAO.Recordset
Dim fld, emptyFld As DAO.Field
Dim fldnm As String
Dim fldv As Variant
Dim isEmptyField As Boolean

Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rs = dbs.OpenRecordset("AP")
Set emptyTdf = dbs.CreateTableDef("AP_Empty")
Set emptyFld = emptyTdf.CreateField("HID", dbText, 255)

'Append your created field.
emptyTdf.Fields.Append emptyFld

dbs.TableDefs.Append emptyTdf

'Just so your collections and the db window is refreshed.
dbs.TableDefs.Refresh
Application.RefreshDatabaseWindow

Two same-sex couples in military marry in first for Taiwan

TAOYUAN – Two lesbian couples tied the knot in a mass wedding held by Taiwan's military on Friday in a historic celebration with their peers.
Taiwan is the only place in Asia to have legalized same-sex marriage, with more than 4,000 such couples marrying since the legislation passed in May 2019. The mass wedding with 188 couples was the first time same-sex couples have been wed and celebrated at a military ceremony.
Both couples viewed their ceremonies with a sense of responsibility towards representing the LGBT community.
"We are hoping that more LGBT people in the military can bravely stand up, because our military is very open-minded. In matters of love, everyone will be treated equally," said Chen Ying-hsuan, 27, an army lieutenant who married Li Li-chen, 26.
Chen wore a rainbow wristband and said she has always been open about her sexual orientation while serving.
The ceremony at an army base in the northern city of Taoyuan was brief. The couples took part in a parade and then exchanged rings in front of an audience of family members and their senior officers.
Yumi Meng, 37, and her wife, army Maj. Wang Yi, 36, wiped back tears as they exchanged rings. Meng wore sneakers under her wedding dress, while Wang wore her officer's uniform. They each carried a pride flag throughout the ceremony.
Meng's parents had not come to the celebration, but in support both of Wang's parents as well as her teacher came out to support the couple.
"I really feel that this is a huge breakthrough for the military because before gay people really had to go through a lot," said Amy Chao, mother to Wang. "Perhaps for heterosexual couples, it's just a paper, but it's very important for gay couples, if you're sick or have to have a major surgery, if you don't have this, then you are nothing, you can't make a decision."
Since same-sex marriage became legal in Taiwan, 4,021 such couples have married, with 69% of them lesbian couples, according to the most recent government data.
The military seemed an unlikely institution to be the site of a same-sex marriage, but in recent years has opened up, said Victoria Hsu, the Co-founder of Taiwan Alliance to Promote Civil Partnership Rights. "We hope this is a good sign to show that the armed forces' attitude towards the LGBT community is becoming more supportive than before in Taiwan."
That attitude was on full display Friday as it welcomed dozens of reporters to the wedding.
"Our attitude is that everyone should be treated equally, and we congratulate each and every couple, and this shows that our military's position is open-minded, progressive and with the times," Lt. Gen. Yang An told reporters at the wedding.


Oceans have always been one of my favorite places.
Perhaps it is the salty water that I can breathe in, the fine sand squishing beneath my toes, the vast view over the water, or the jagged rocks that line the shore.
I go to the sea to be amazed. To be reminded.
At the sea, I am amazed at the vastness of creation, and at its beauty. God created the heavens and the earth, and He knows how many grains of sand there are on the sea shore. He knows how deep the water is, how vast the ocean spans. And I am amazed.
That a God who created all of this cares about me.
That my life is just an instant in this world, just like I am not even a speck to those standing on the other side of the ocean. The saltiness of the sea reminds me that God created some things to be different – the fresh water lakes are not just little seas. They are distinct, different, unique. Even every sea is not the same, nor is every lake.
We are all created with our own purpose, and we shouldn't compare ourselves to everything around us that was created in the same image of God, but for a different purpose.
It is for us the living……….


I did this walk on Monday 28th November 2011. I drove over to Bradwell on Sea where I parked in the small car park at the end of East End Road.
From there it was just a half mile walk along a gravel farm track running alongside a large open field down to the church of St Peters in the Wall, photo 1, which marks the start point of the St Peter's Way. The church was originally built by St Cedd in 654AD using the stones from the nearby old Roman Fort of Othona and the Grade I listed building is among the oldest largely intact Christian church buildings in England that are still in regular use. From the church yards it is just a few yards to the edge of the saltmarsh that lines the edge of the coast here. The shorefront is part of the Bradwell Cockle Spit National Nature Reserve which consists of some 30 acres of shell bank together with extensive saltmarsh on the Dengie Peninsular. Here I followed the route as it heads to the right, past the buildings of the Bradwell Bird Observatory to join a footpath running along the top of the flood bank with marshes to my left and open fields away to the right, photo 2. This was the first cold day that I had been out walking in for some time, the car thermometer showing only 6c when I had parked, even though it was after 10 o'clock when I had arrived. There was also a fairly strong breeze helping the air feel cooler although the air temperature warmed up considerably while I was out walking. The whole area is very flat and there were far reaching views across the surrounding countryside. Away to my left, out at sea, I could see a wind farm had been built which I don't remember seeing when I was last here back in 2007 when I had done a circular walk from Bradwell Power station , which is now in the process of being decommissioned. It was low tide and there was quite an extensive area of mudflats beyond the saltmarsh before I could actually see any seawater. In the distance was a line of concrete barges, placed on the coast to help prevent erosion, photo 3.
The flood bank is followed for just over two miles as the path heads out closer to the sea for a while before heading back again. Where the flood bank curves round to the left to head back towards the sea for a second time the St Peter's Way heads down from the flood bank to join a concrete farm track that continues ahead, photo 4. It was at this point that I saw my first somewhat faded way mark for the St Peter's Way. A short distance further on, at a junction of tracks, the route heads to the right along a surfaced driveway heading inland. There was a marker post at the junction and in between two very faded St Peter's Way signs was a bright shiny new red disc. As I continued my walk it became clear that Essex County Council have done a bit of work re-instating way marks along the route which had been very few and far between when I had last walked here. It will be interesting to see if this applies to the whole route of the walk. There is also a PDF for the walk which was published in July 11 which can be downloaded from their website. Where this path bends to the right the route continues ahead through a short field and then into another larger field where the path follows the right hand edge of the field. At the end of this field the route heads through a metal kissing gate into another field where the route heads sharp left and follows the left edge of the field alongside a rather overgrown and large drainage ditch. Where the drainage ditch ends the footpath continues ahead across the open field, heading towards two small trees a few yards down on the right hand side of an isolated barn, photo 5. The grass on the seawall had been covered in dew which had made my shoes and low part of my trousers quite damp however fortunately the mud in the field was dry enough not to stick to my boots. Reaching the edge of the field the route heads to the left along a farm track that passes round the back of the barn. This farm track, photo 6, is followed as it winds its way between fields to Dots and Melon Farm. At one point on the map the route is shown as heading diagonally across a field although, like last time, I could see no trace of this path on the ground nor any signposting at either end and I stuck to the farm track.
After passing between the buildings of Dots and Melon Farm the route continues ahead along a minor road, passing a scattering of isolated houses. Where this road bends to the left the route continues ahead along a broad path running along the edge of a field, photo 7 although I could not spot a St Peter's Way sign at this junction. This stretch of path is followed along the edge of a couple of long fields to the village of Tillingham and St Nicholas Church, photo 8. The route heads through the churchyard and out on the village green, photo 9, although as usual the best views were obscured by parked cars.
Reaching the B1021 North Street the route heads briefly to the right then left through the Westfield Car Park to join a paved track running alongside the edge of some playing fields, photo 10, where there were also some handy public toilets. Where the tarmac path turns to the right the route continues ahead along the edge of the playing fields, past the buildings of Tillingham Bowls Club to join another field edge path continuing ahead. The route then takes a fairly straight course as it makes its way between fields, crossing over a small wooden footbridge, photo 11, as it makes its way over towards St Lawrence, including a rather smelly interlude as the path passes a short distance away from some barns although I have no idea what they contained. Heading past a small patch of the trees the route then heads through a gap in the hedge by the junction of Reddings Lane and the St Lawrence Road which the route then follows, continuing ahead. Where this road bends round to the right, photo 12, the St Peter's Way continues ahead into a field, heading to the left for a few yards and then following the field edge round to the right.
The path heads under the old electricity pylons coming from the Bradwell power station with a water tower prominent on the horizon, photo 13. Reaching a driveway the route continues ahead to join a path across the middle of the next field. Leaving this field the route then heads over a small wooden footbridge and along the right edge of another field until level with the water tower, photo 14, where it heads straight across the remainder of the field, photo 15, to reach the Southminster Road, photo 16, which is where I finished this stage of my walk along the St Peter's Way having walked 7.05 miles along the path.
On the other side of the road where good views down over the Blackwater Estuary, photo 17, but for now I turned round to start making my way back to the car. Apart from the field where I turned round, and a short stretch of path near Tillingham I was able to walk back along different paths to those I had walked out on although I did end up with a rather long stretch of road walking through Bradwell, photo 18, towards the end of the day. Reaching the car I had walked a total distance of 14.2 miles.
As usual I have uploaded the route of the walk which can be accessed here: St Peters Way Stage 1 Route.
The St Peter's Way is a path I had been meaning to walk for some time and it was good to finally get started, even if for today I had already walked exactly the same leg before and it was only my return journey to the car that was different. I am however looking forward to walking a new section of the path on the next stage before too long although the opportunities for a circular walk do seem to be severely limited.


Firstly I just have to start with this gorgeous Ted Baker Manicure Set. This pretty set is sure to be a winner for any girlie that loves their nails looking fabulous, and contains everything you need in one fold up pouch. Inside the pouch their are wide range of tools all in stunning rose gold which just look beautiful, theres clippers, scissors, tweezers, two nail files and a cuticle tool meaning you can look after your nails in style. The set also comes complete in a lovely presentation gift box, making it a fabulous gift for any women in your life whether it be friends or family.
How amazing is this lip balm, it would make such an amazing Stocking Filler present... The lip balm itself looks amazing and sports that vintage 70's look and features the legends which are snap, crackle and pop. The scent and taste of the Rice Krispies balm itself is so yummy and sure to be a winner for anyone who likes something sweet and sugary and it also has a kick of banana in their too which I love. The quality of the lip balm is really very good, sometimes you can find that the idea of a product that looks amazing in the packaging can out way the actual quality of the product itself but this lip balm certainly works well. It moisturises and nourishes my lips leaving them silky smooth and it makes a lovely base for lipsticks to go over too.
How adorable is this little love heart shaped trinket box by Sass and Belle. I think this would make a lovely little gift for anyone who's really into their jewellery, it can be used to store loose rings or earrings or it can even keep your favourite necklace safe and would look beautiful on any dressing table.

Fuze Meeting, the Web-based meeting and collaboration service that competes with the likes of GoToMeeting and WebEx, has posted a couple of tutorials on how to integrate Dropbox and SugarSync into your meetings.
Fuze Meeting HD arrived on the iPad last week as a rich client for joining and interacting with meetings. You can view meeting notes and media, listen into calls, check back through meeting archives, and even host a meeting from your iPad. A few paid accounts allow for things like more Web and phone attendees, more file storage space, and recording meetings.
On Fuze Meeting's official blog, the company posted two quick video tutorials that demonstrate how to integrate Dropbox and SugarSync into a meeting. We've embedded the Dropbox tutorial below, but the cliff notes are that Fuze Meeting takes advantage of iOS's Document Sharing feature. While in the middle of a meeting, you can switch to Dropbox and select a relevant file, then use "Open in Fuze Meeting" from the action menu to automatically switch back and upload the file to share it with meeting attendees. This makes Fuze Meeting a more potent meeting tool and media hub for presentations.
The Fuze Meeting app is available for free in the App Store, requiring an iPad running iOS 3.2 or later. Fuze Meeting service prices vary, starting at $10 for a 24 hour period of unlimited meetings and $30 for a monthly subscription.

"Home and Away" is the theme song to the Australian soap opera, Home and Away. It was composed by Mike Perjanik and originally performed by Karen Boddington and Mark Williams. Their version was released as a single in 1989 and peaked at number 73 on the UK Singles Chart. There have been nine different recorded versions of the theme song used over the years, including two recorded by Australian sibling trio The Robertson Brothers. From 2010 until 2017, the Home and Away theme song was not used in the show's opening titles and was replaced by a short instrumental version. However, in 2018, two new eight-second versions of the theme song made a return to the opening titles after an eight-year absence.

Background
"Home and Away" was written, produced and arranged by Mike Perjanik as the theme song to Home and Away. It was originally performed by Karen Boddington and Mark Williams. The song was engineered by Wahanui Wynyard and recorded at Albert Studios in Sydney. In an interview with music website Noisey, Perjanik said he was only given a rough idea that the show was going to be about foster kids, being home or away, "so I decided that I wanted the mood to be warm." The song took 4–6 weeks to complete.

Theme song
There have been nine different recorded versions of the theme song used over the years. The lyrics remained the same since the show's inception, but a number of verses were gradually cut back over the years due to "time restrictions".

The original version was sung by Karen Boddington and Mark Williams and used from 1988 until mid-1995. Their version was released as a single in the UK in 1989 and peaked at number 73 on the UK Singles Chart. A new version performed by Doug Williams and Erana Clark debuted in 1995. Their version was shortened the following year in 1996 and used until the end of 1999. In 2000, Australian sibling trio The Robertson Brothers recorded a new version of the theme song which was used until 2003. It was the first version to use only male vocals and was included in the soundtrack Home and Away: Songs From and Inspired by the Television Series (2000). The Robertson Brothers again recorded a shorter version of the theme song in 2004 and was used until the end of 2006. Their versions of the theme song became popular with viewers and gave the group widespread recognition, with concert goers demanding they play it at every concert.

In 2007, a new version was introduced and performed by Israel Cannan, who played the character Wazza in the show. After Cannan's version received many complaints from fans, the Seven Network decided to re-record the theme song in April 2007 with vocals provided by Luke Dolahenty. A shorter, 15-second version sung by Dolahenty and Tarryn Stokes debuted in 2009. From 2010 until 2017, the Home and Away theme song was not used in the show's opening titles and was replaced by a short instrumental version. However, Dolahenty and Stokes' version was still used in the closing credits for international broadcasts. In 2018, two new eight-second versions of the theme song made a return to the opening titles after an eight-year absence. One version is sung by a male vocalist, while the other version is sung by a female vocalist; in the opening titles, both only sing the last two lines of the theme: "closer each day, Home and Away". An extended 30-second version by the male vocalist was uploaded onto the Home and Away website. In March 2018, when the 2018 season debuted in the United Kingdom, the end theme was updated with the male vocalist's version, which still remain even on episodes which open with the female vocalist's version.

Reception
Dylan Evans of music website Tone Deaf included "Home and Away" on his list of "The 15 Best Australian TV Theme Songs", writing that although the song "has seen some changes, it still remains instantly recognisable to most Australians." Irish program Xposé included the theme song in their list of "The Best TV Theme Songs". Sam of TVFix placed it at number two on his list of the "Top 5 Australian TV Theme Songs", writing that "the tune captures the relaxed, melodramatic feel of living in a quiet beachside town that's the home of multiple murderers, psychotics and drama queens." He also added that it was better than the Neighbours theme song. Steven Viney of Noisey compared both songs, adding that the Home and Away theme "sounds like it could have easily been a Mariah Carey hit" and that it is "more melodic and pop oriented" than the Neighbours theme. David Elkin of The Daily Edge described it as a "catchy" tune that is "still stuck in everyone's head." In 2017, BuzzFeed writer Tahlia Pritchard added that the theme song should return to the opening titles, writing "Bring back those iconic lyrics!" Shain E. Thomas of entertainment website Harsh Light said it was an "idiotic move" of the show's producers to not use the song in the opening titles between 2010 and 2017. Ed Power of Irish Independent called it a "catchy" song that "certainly gets into your noggin and refuses to leave."

Usage in media
Home and Away star Axle Whitehead (Liam Murphy) recorded a version of the theme song which was used in the show in 2012. Long-serving cast member Lynne McGranger (Irene Roberts) sang the song in a 2013 promotional video for broadcaster TVNZ 2 in New Zealand. In April 2016, the theme song was used in a television commercial promoting a storyline involving an explosion at the Summer Bay Caravan Park. Between December 2017 and February 2018, the theme song was also used in television commercials promoting the 2018 season premiere of Home and Away, as well as a sinkhole storyline involving long-time character Alf Stewart (Ray Meagher). In a promo for the 2019 season, the theme song was sung by the cast, who were sitting around a table, in lieu of a preview of what is to come.

At any point (prior to trial) at which a PTD agreement is effected.
The divertee must have advice of counsel, and if he/she cannot afford counsel, one will be appointed for him/her upon his/her application to the Chief Pretrial Services Officer (or Chief Probation Officer). Appointment of Counsel will be made through the United States Magistrate. Inquiries by magistrates should be directed to the Criminal Justice Act Division, Administrative Office of the United States Courts, (202) 727-2800, for expenditure authorizations.
All information obtained in the course of making the decision to divert an offender is confidential, except that written statements may be used for impeachment purposes. See USA Form 185, Letter to Offender, this Manual at 713.
Upon determining eligibility of an offender for PTD, the U.S. Attorney should refer the case along with the investigative agent's report to either the Chief Pretrial Services Officer or the Chief Probation Officer for a recommendation on the potential suitability of the offender for supervision. See USA Form 184, this Manual at 714.|B814 The Chief Pretrial Services Officer (or the Chief Probation Officer) may make preliminary recommendations to the U.S. Attorney. As part of the background investigation, Pretrial Services will arrange with the United States Marshal's Office to have the divertee fingerprinted and to have such fingerprints submitted to the FBI on card FD-249. At the same time Pretrial Services should request notification of any prior record on the divertee from the FBI Identification Division Records.
If it is determined that PTD is appropriate for an offender, supervision should be tailored to the offender's needs and may include employment, counseling, education, job training, psychiatric care, etc. Many districts have successfully required restitution or forms of community service as part of the pretrial program. Innovative approaches are strongly encouraged.
The program of supervision which is recommended is outlined in the PTD Agreement, agreed upon by all parties, and administered by Pretrial Services.
The Pretrial Diversion Agreement. The diversion period begins upon execution of a Pretrial Diversion Agreement. The Agreement (USA Form 186, Criminal Resource Manual at 715) outlines the terms and conditions of supervision and is signed by the offender, his/her attorney, the prosecutor, and either the Chief Pretrial Services Officer or the Chief Probation Officer. The offender must acknowledge responsibility for his or her behavior, but is not asked to admit guilt. The period of supervision is not to exceed 18 months, but may be reduced. In the case of Federal employees, the PTD Agreement will not require the offender's resignation from Federal service but will explicitly state that administrative action by the Federal agency will not be precluded and need not be delayed by the prosecutor's disposition of the case through diversion. The PTD Agreement may require that the U.S. Attorney provide a copy of the Agreement to the Federal agency by which the divertee is employed.The Chief Pretrial Services Officer (or the Chief Probation Officer) shall submit an FBI Form 1-12 "Flash Notice," indicating diversion and requesting notification if an arrest occurs.
Successful completion of program/termination from program. The U.S. Attorney will formally decline prosecution upon satisfactory completion of program requirements. Notice of satisfactory completion will be provided to the U.S. Attorney by either the Chief Pretrial Services Officer or the Chief Probation Officer. In addition, the Chief Pretrial Services Officer (or the Chief Probation Officer) will file an FBI Disposition Form R-84 so that the record will indicate successful completion/charges dropped.
Breach of Agreement. Upon breach of conditions of the Agreement by the divertee, the Chief Pretrial Services Officer (or the Chief Probation Officer) will so inform the U.S. Attorney, who, in his/her discretion, may initiate prosecution. When prosecution is resumed, the U.S. Attorney must furnish the offender with notice.
The decision to terminate an individual from continuing to participate in pretrial diversion based upon breach of conditions rests exclusively with the U.S. Attorney, with advice from either the Chief Pretrial Services Officer or the Chief Probation Officer.

Since the UK became a member of the European Community, farmers have had to ensure that they not only have regard to UK legislation but also EU regulation. Given the special status given to agriculture via the Common Agricultural Policy, its influence on farmers has been vast.
Not only does it have implications for subsidy provision for farmers but also in terms of the increasing regulation and red tape farmers find themselves having to deal with.
At JCP Rural Practice, our in depth knowledge of the CAP and its intricacies has allowed us to advise on complicated cases involving EU policy.
We have a wealth of experience dealing with disputes arising from farmers' participation in Common Agricultural Policy schemes. We are pleased to offer a fixed price service to assist clients in preserving subsidy payments from CAP Schemes.
Our specialist team can deal with all appeals under any CAP scheme and as an NFU Legal Panel member we offer discounts to NFU Farmer & Grower members.
We have already successfully secured in excess of one million pounds for farmers in Wales through our specialist representation of clients disputing their CAP allowance.
By using our service you can rest assured that you have an expert, knowledgeable and experienced team on your side. We will provide clarity as to how much the advice will cost and can provide a Welsh speaking service if desired.
The statistics published by the Welsh Government and Rural Payments Agency show that without the income from the Single (now Basic) Payment Scheme many farmers would be running at a loss. It is vitally important therefore to protect that vital source of income.


As good friend of mine in a local VAB band Rude Zombie said about me "He goes to shows". So yeah, I am show fanatic that has been going to shows since age 15. So that is 23 years of moshing, skanking, drinking and just really purely dancing my arse off as much as I can. My close friends call me a music snob but really I don't see it that way. I have just evolved my music tastes from Old Skool Punk Rock, to Grunge, to Goth, to Garage Rock, to Psychedelic, to Shoegaze and Noise Rock…ok and I threw in some Folk Rock and Choral Symphonic Pop Rock into my music tastes as well. I am a promoter/booker for any touring indie bands that are coming my way that turn on my ears as well as for my favorite local bands. I really don't collect music in any form (unless I get it as swag), I much rather hear and see it live. I am big into local art, art shows and a foodie.


The Welsh Government commissioned a survey of registered social care and childcare providers.
An estimated 6.4% of staff within registered social care settings and 4.5% of staff within registered childcare services in Wales are non-UK EU nationals. This equates to around 2,060 to 3,730 social care workers, and between approximately 410 and 1,100 childcare workers.
Recruitment is a challenge within social care and childcare. 58% of registered social care respondents and 47% of childcare respondents saying they found it difficult to recruit within the last year.
When viewed against the broader context of staffing challenges in the social and childcare sectors, any impact of Brexit in terms of the rights or propensity of non-UK EU nationals to remain in the UK has the potential to exacerbate existing recruitment challenges for the sectors.
