The purpose of the Festival is to celebrate and explore how design improves the quality of our lives and our shared city. Since 2011, Design in Public and AIA Seattle have presented the Seattle Design Festival in collaboration with hundreds of partner organizations.
The 2018 Seattle Design Festival gathered 21,000+ attendees, 145 partners, 90+ programs and installations, and 20+ design disciplines that explored design and TRUST.
Get inspired + watch our video—Design in Public: Design On!
Achieving and maintaining balance is essential for the well-being of our planet, our society, and ourselves. Our natural world provides the model: vast ecosystems that have evolved over millions of years to create symbiotic relationships that are in balance.
Yet our world right now is fundamentally out of balance. Human needs and desires relentlessly compete with the needs of natural systems. Whether we are weighing the impact of our daily decisions on the future of our planet, working towards greater equity in our cities, or striving for greater balance between our work life and personal life, we are in a constant state of negotiation.
Balance is needed for our earth, our communities, and our families, but how do we achieve it?
• Can design foster greater equilibrium with our natural world to restore balance?
• How do we minimize environmental impacts on the planet through design?
• What lessons can we learn from nature and how is it translated into design?
• What role does design have to help us achieve personal balance and live our best lives?
Proposals for the Seattle Design Festival are dy (5pm PT). Apply here!
Are businesses required to pay an entry fee to participate in the Festival?
Yes. For-profit businesses are required to pay an entry fee to propose an installation or event. One of the most amazing things about Design in Public and the Seattle Design Festival is that we are able to produce our region's largest Design event, on a mostly free or sliding-scale basis for over 21,000+ attendees and counting, while still being truly community-driven and crowd-sourced.
Am I guaranteed one of the dates/times/locations I submit in my proposal?
We will work with all partners to find a time, date, and location that works for them and the Festival as a whole. We cannot guarantee that you will be scheduled during your top choice time, but we will do our best to accommodate.
May I change my date/time/ location once my event proposal is submitted?
Final program descriptions due for website and print program by July 1, 2019.
It's pretty simple! We are looking for proposals that directly relate to the theme of balance and fit with Design in Public's mission—unleashing the design thinker in everyone to illuminate Seattle's challenges and ignite action.
We evaluate the quality and feasibility of each proposal: is it thorough or vague? Do you have specific speakers or key participants confirmed and a venue in mind? Is it design-focused and accessible to all? The Festival committee reviews all proposals and provides feedback when sending out acceptance letters.
Still have questions? Please review the full Call for Proposals brief.

Internment by Samira Ahmed
24/05/2019 Amber 1 Comment
Release Date: 19th March 2019
Publisher: Atom
Rebellions are built on hope.
Set in a horrifying near-future United States, seventeen-year-old Layla Amin and her parents are forced into an internment camp for Muslim American citizens.
With the help of newly made friends also trapped within the internment camp, her boyfriend on the outside, and an unexpected alliance, Layla begins a journey to fight for freedom, leading a revolution against the internment camp's Director and his guards.
Heart-racing and emotional, Internment challenges readers to fight complicit silence that exists in our society today.
I went into Internment knowing that it was going to break me, and in some ways it definitely did. Samira Ahmed poured so much into this book and it made me feel a lot of feelings. I think the main thing that got to me was that it felt so real. The things that happen in Internment could definitely happen in the USA, especially since they're already happening in other countries around the world today, namely China. It wouldn't be too much of a leap for US citizens to be treated this way.

Again, but Better by Christine Riccio
Release Date: 7th May 2019
Shane has been doing college all wrong. Pre-med, stellar grades, and happy parents…sounds ideal—but Shane's made zero friends, goes home every weekend, and romance…what's that?
Her life has been dorm, dining hall, class, repeat. Time's a ticking, and she needs a change—there's nothing like moving to a new country to really mix things up. Shane signs up for a semester abroad in London. She's going to right all her college mistakes: make friends, pursue boys, and find adventure!
Easier said than done. She is soon faced with the complicated realities of living outside her bubble, and when self-doubt sneaks in, her new life starts to fall apart.
Shane comes to find that, with the right amount of courage and determination one can conquer anything. Throw in some fate and a touch of magic—the possibilities are endless.
I feel like I have to put out a disclaimer saying that I didn't go into this book expecting or hoping to hate it. I was planning on supporting a fellow Booktuber, because I think it's great that Booktubers and book bloggers are getting book deals after they've worked so hard on their writing. Unfortunately, Again, But Better didn't work out for me, and I'm gonna explain why. Continue reading →
I Know You Know by Gilly Macmillan
Publisher: William Morrow
Twenty years ago, eleven-year-olds Charlie Paige and Scott Ashby were murdered in the city of Bristol, their bodies dumped near a dog racing track. A man was convicted of the brutal crime, but decades later, questions still linger.
For his whole life, filmmaker Cody Swift has been haunted by the deaths of his childhood best friends. The loose ends of the police investigation consume him so much that he decides to return to Bristol in search of answers. Hoping to uncover new evidence, and to encourage those who may be keeping long-buried secrets to speak up, Cody starts a podcast to record his findings. But there are many people who don't want the case—along with old wounds—reopened so many years after the tragedy, especially Charlie's mother, Jess, who decides to take matters into her own hands.
When a long-dead body is found in the same location the boys were left decades before, the disturbing discovery launches another murder investigation. Now Detective John Fletcher, the investigator on the original case, must reopen his dusty files and decide if the two murders are linked. With his career at risk, the clock is ticking and lives are in jeopardy…
I received I Know You Know from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I Know You Know caught my eye when it was released in the US last year, and I was really excited when I saw it was on NetGalley. I'd heard some really great things about this adult thriller and I was keen to get my hands on it!
Watch Us Rise by Renée Watson & Ellen Hagan

Watch Us Rise by Ellen Hagan, Renée Watson
Release Date: 21st February 2019
Publisher: Bloomsbury
Jasmine and Chelsea are best friends on a mission. Sick of the way that young women are treated even at their 'progressive' New York City high school, they decide to start a Women's Rights Club. One problem - no one shows up. That hardly stops them. They start posting everything from videos of Chelsea performing her poetry to Jasmine's response to being reduced to a racist and sexist stereotype in the school's theatre department. And soon, they've gone viral, creating a platform they never could've predicted.
With such positive support, the Women's Rights Club is also targeted by trolls. But Jasmine and Chelsea won't let their voices - or those of the other young women in their city - be silenced. They'll risk everything to be heard and effect change ... but at what cost?
Watch Us Rise had a lot of promise as a feminist YA story, but unfortunately it fell pretty flat for me. I was unable to connect with any of the characters, mostly because they were either lacking substance or completely irritating.
The Night Olivia Fell by Christina McDonald
Release Date: 5th February 2019
Publisher: HQ Digital
In the vein of Big Little Lies and Reconstructing Amelia comes an emotionally charged domestic suspense novel about a mother unraveling the truth behind how her daughter became brain dead. And pregnant.
A search for the truth. A lifetime of lies.
In the small hours of the morning, Abi Knight is startled awake by the phone call no mother ever wants to get: her teenage daughter Olivia has fallen off a bridge. Not only is Olivia brain dead, she's pregnant and must remain on life support to keep her baby alive. And then Abi sees the angry bruises circling Olivia's wrists.
When the police unexpectedly rule Olivia's fall an accident, Abi decides to find out what really happened that night. Heartbroken and grieving, she unravels the threads of her daughter's life. Was Olivia's fall an accident? Or something far more sinister?
I've not read Big Little Lies, so the comparisons didn't really mean much to me. I have to say, though, that if Big Little Lies is similar to The Night Olivia Fell, then I don't really understand the hype. Continue reading →

The appeal was initiated by the Federation of Bangsamoro Civil Society Organization (FBCSO), Upi Muslim Consultative Assembly (UMCA), Muslim Youth Fellowship (MYF), and the Alliance of Peace Advocate ( APA) based in Upi, Maguindanao.
The group is also engaged in signature campaign relative to the call of SIGN BBL NETWORK and Consortium of Bangsamoro Civil Society Organizations (CBCS) for a million signatures supporting the call to be submitted during the Bicameral conference to gain the sympathy and persuade BiCam members to reconsider their decision on the draft BBL, as it is far different from the BBL-drafted by the Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC).

Recycle Devon Awards 2014
Posted by used2bee in Events
award, champion, county hall exeter, prize, recycle devon, small business
I am delighted to inform you that Steve has been shortlisted for an award in the Small Business Champion category
Devon's recycling heroes were celebrated at the Recycle Devon Thank You awards last Thursday at County Hall Exeter and I was delighted to receive an email, at the start of the new year, from Liz Jarvis confirming my nomination for my first recycling award! I was nominated by my long time friend, Torbays Recycling Officer Carol Arthur, who i have known since our early recyclings in the 90s Amazing!
This was now the second annual ceremony to thank outstanding individuals and groups for their hard work in helping to protect Devon's environment, so you can imagine my excitement that I was to be included. The award is special in Devon as last year it marked the 10 year anniversary of the Don't Let Devon go to waste campaign and continues to celebrate a consistently high 55% recycling rate for the county.
I am humbled though! On arrival at the event I learnt that there really is an impressive league of dedicated people in Devon who do inspiring, creative, and thankless recycling work and like me, they love it! Not for occasional praise or fleeting recognition but because they believe its right for stable engaged caring communities, or better for healthy happy children, or even pride of the job well done.
Anyone was welcome to attend the event, not only the nominees, and we certainly were made welcome with fresh coffee, tea, and homemade scones and cream! Each nominee was give a floral name tag made from recycled paper embedded with seeds, so that it can be planted after and not wasted. Neat idea!
The Chairman of the Devon Authorities Waste Reduction and Recycling Committee was there to add official weight and proudly open the event. Councillor Mel Lucas said: "The Recycling Thank You awards were created to recognise the unsung recycling heroes across the county. We wanted to say a special Thank You for everything that they do to ensure that Devon does not go to waste. They have not let us down and we have been truly amazed at the enthusiasm and unselfish efforts, that all our winners go to reduce, reuse and recycle. On behalf of the Devon Authorities Waste Reduction and Recycling Committee and personally, I would like to say thank you to you all. You are all winners!'
Then Heart Radio's Matt and Caroline from the breakfast show followed with their usual fun banter, and witty anecdotes to give an excellent presentation of the nine category awards:
. Your Recycling Hero (Friend, Family Member, Neighbour or Local Recycling Champion)
. School Recycling Hero (Child)
. School Recycling Hero (Adult)
. Community Group Recycling Hero
. Collection Crew/Operative (Recycling, Garden, Food or Refuse Collector(s))
. Street Cleansers
. Recycling Centre operative/site staff
. Small Business Champion
. Special Award for Innovation
Category Winner: Daniel Salter, Forches Cross Primary School Barnstaple
Daniel has been described as a fantastic member of the School! Without fail, he goes to the Eco co-ordinator every day to ask if there are any outstanding jobs that need doing. Daniel takes responsibility for the eco-notice board and has enrolled some younger eco-councillors to help him. He shows them how to gather and display information so that the rest of the school can see how well the school is doing with its Green Flag work. Daniel is never short of new ideas to make the School even more eco-friendly and he keeps everyone in School on their toes, including the adults!
Category Winner: George Tribe, Bratton Fleming Community Primary School
George has worked as a caretaker at the School for the last 21 years. He has lived in the village all his life and he cares very passionately about it. He has reduced his working hours at the school as he is 85 years old, but he still comes into school every morning without fail. He opens up the school for all the staff and then spends an hour or so sorting out the school recycling and food bins ensuring everything is put into its correct place. He is real trouper and the children love him being part of the staff. George's dedication sends out a fantastic message to the children about how vitally important it is to recycle! After doing his work, he has a mug of tea in the staffroom and then goes on his way.
Category Winner: Dean Mallon, Otter Rotters
Dean has had a troubled background and has struggled with serious issues for many years which have left him unable to work. This year Dean took a very brave step and approached Otter Rotters offering to volunteer. His confidence was none existent and despite being terrified he started to volunteer on the garden waste scheme rounds. This was challenging for him but he has driven himself to address and overcome his issues. Dean is so committed that he purchased his own safety work wear and paid for physiotherapy so he can be more productive whilst doing this physical job. The improvement in Dean's well-being is visible and so is his pride at serving the community. His ultimate aim is to get paid employment and he has been doing everything he can to earn a reputation for being hard working and dependable. Furthermore Dean's interaction and team work with his learning disabled co-workers has made him worthy of recognition – he has done himself, Otter Rotters and the community proud.
Category Winner: Mike Hollyer, Cleansing Operative, Exeter City Council
Mike was the first operative to pilot the Exeter Looking Good regime in Heavitree, Exeter.
He takes pride in his work and is building a really good rapport with the community that he serves.
Category Winner: Tom Clark, Seven Brethren Recycling Centre, Barnstaple
Tom has been described as hard working, always polite, courteous and extremely helpful. He is a pleasure to deal with and makes weekly trips to the recycling centre a pleasure as opposed to a chore and he always has a smile on his face.
Category Winner: Jeff Brown, Aliway Scrapstore, Paignton
Jeff used to be a service user at Hollacombe Community Resource Centre in Paignton but ceased to meet the criteria and could no longer attend the centre. He was always involved with the Aliway Scrapstore based at the centre, so when he left, he decided that he would come in for two days a week under his own steam and volunteer to run the store. He has done this for the last two years and has been a real asset to the store who would struggle to open some days, without his presence.
Category Winner: Dave Coles, Arena Park Green Group
Dave, a local resident and Chair of Arena Park Green Group is proactive about resolving problems for the whole community. Arena Park Estate in Exeter had a lot of problems with fly tipping of garden waste. Dave formed a Green Group from like-minded residents and collectively they now manage a community composting site for all residents to use. There have been no reported instances of fly tipping and the compost generated is freely given back to the residents. Under Dave's leadership, the group are planning to encourage residents to compost their kitchen waste and are providing kitchen caddies to households who wish to participate. The group also hope to inspire local children to dispose of waste appropriately to help reduce waste going to landfill and carbon gases.
Category Winner: Steve Clark, Used2Bee, Torquay
Steve and his wife Jo have been running Used2Bee since the 90s, well before recycling was popular! They sell recycled products and upcycled items from their premises in Torquay and by mail order. With vintage becoming more and more popular, they are really coming into their own. Steve and Jo are both very creative people and make some wonderful products themselves, using 'rubbish'. Steve really should receive a lifetime achievement award, but he is far too young!
Category Winner: Geoff Read, Devon and Cornwall Food Association (DCFA)
(Award collected on Geoff's behalf by Charlie Taylor)
For the last three years the DCFA has been redistributing waste but in-date food from landfill to communities that can make use of it. From rice, flour and tinned food to Christmas turkeys, pheasants and pâté! The DCFA has now 'recycled' over 100 tonnes of food and saved communities over £185,000. Geoff who is the company secretary and his team have worked tirelessly to promote this service which now supports over 90 local charities and works with a list of local suppliers that is growing all the time. Geoff also supports the DCFA volunteers through skills training and in promoting the message that food is a valuable commodity that should be recycled and not landfilled. Working in Plymouth and Exeter, the DCFA is currently developing a hub in Bodmin and looking towards expanding its services if a current funding bid is successful.
Category: Recycling Hero For Devon
Winner: Dean Mallon
The shortlisted candidates from each category received a recycled glass trophy and there was a Bottle of Champagne and trophy for the overall winner.

PROJECT: Recycled Cat Bed
Posted by used2bee in Projects
bed, blanket, cat, dog, jumper, recycled, sweater, sweatshirt, Used2bee
for anyone with a couple of hours, likes sewing, and who has a cat
We love feedback from our followers, and we received this one recently. I thought it was quite an easy one for anyone with a couple of hours, likes sewing, and who has a cat. The credit goes to Steven Bishop for discovering it on elizabethskitchendiary.co.uk, which is a really intelligent site for craft ideas and for healthy homemade food.
Elizabeth is a mum, secret wannabe adventurer, scientist-in-training, RNLI volunteer, crafter, ex-pat Canadian & quite possibly Britain's most northerly food blogger. She also loves cats, and has four of her own from the rescue centre which is what inspired her to this comfy cat creation.
Does your pet need a new bed? Recycle your old sweaters
Homemade pet bed for your dog or cat. Minimal sewing ability required. This is the recipe
Time: 2 hours, including cutting up scraps for stuffing
-1 unwanted sweater
-2 terry towels or unused dishtowels or bath towels
-Scraps or cotton for stuffing
-Wool
-Needles
Cut your stuffing fabric into small pieces. Fold towels so that they are nearly the size you want the base of your pet bed. Layer with scrap stuffing if required. Baste the layers together in a rough oval shape.
Turn over the edges toward the inside of the circle and loosely sew in place. Place inside the body of the jumper.
Sew in place using some thick wool. Stuff the arms and neck area with scraps or cotton.
Arrange in a circular shape around the base area. Using a thread and needle, sew into place. If you use a matching thread you don't have to worry about how perfect your stitches are. Embellish as desired!

Pieces in place for new school year in Dist. 181
August 15, 2019 | View PDF
With the first day of school in Community Consolidated Elementary District 181 set for Friday, Aug. 23, district board members got reports from administrators on readiness for the 2019-20 school year.
John Munch, assistant superintendent of human resources, told the board that the teaching staff, as in years past, has both those with considerable experience and promising young ones.
"It's nice to have a good mix of experiences coming in as this cohort," Munch said.
A couple of late resignations were addressed, he noted, and that only one teaching position remained open as of Monday, with interviews already scheduled.
"So we're in a really good place to start the school year," he said. "All class sizes are below the class size guidelines, so we're in good shape there."
Regarding student achievement, Kathleen Robinson, assistant superintendent of learning reported that teachers will work to balance academic instruction and develop social emotional competencies.
"We'll look at high-impact teaching strategies and ensure that teachers are trained, and we're looking at expanding math interventions for students in our elementary schools who are struggling with mathematics," she said.
Tracy Miller, the district's new director of assessment, said the use of data and the district's web-based Mastery Manager tool to gauge student performance is expanding.
"We're continuing the implementation by training middle school math, science and world language teachers in the creation of assessments within the platform, while elementary educators will be training in administering the assessments," Miller said.
Mike Duggan, director of facilities, informed the board that the district's $1.36 million in summer renovations were all but wrapped up.
"We're finished with the capital projects everywhere, except the doors and hardware. We're installing them right now throughout Elm, Madison and CHMS," Duggan said. "The custodial staff is busy trying to get everything ready for next week."
One of the biggest projects was installation of maintenance-free tile flooring at Oak School.
Board member Margie Kleber remarked about impact of the upgrade.
"Oak School looked fabulous. It is such a huge improvement," she said. "You guys did a great job."
Duggan also reported that the district received a rebate of about $23,000 from ComEd for completing the installation of more efficient lighting at CHMS by June 30.
On the transportation front, Mohsin Dada, chief financial officer and treasurer, said 62 families had paid for busing as of Monday's meeting.
"They're all fully paid for, which is a big accomplishment," he said.
He noted that there could be as many as 40 more students using busing, based on those families that qualify. He said concerted efforts have been made to streamline the number of routes.
"We are trying to do everything possible to avoid duplication of routes as much as possible," he said, saying he hoped to have routes finalized by this week.

2018's SHOOT IT STRAIGHT INTO MY FUCKING VEINS List — July
On July 18, 2018 July 29, 2018 By Steven StraussIn The Food of Love
It's been a while.
I'm having withdrawals.
Time for a re-up:
The latter half of Drake's double album needs to be represented on this list, and this track is easily the grooviest, with striking moments of gloriously-jarring producing. *Cue the unavoidable shuffle step the 6-God's musical and lyrical flow always induces in us uncoordinated white dudes*
Out of its fucking mind.
Straight funk.
Too much of THE CARTERS' EVERYTHING IS LOVE sounds like Jay-Z featuring Beyoncé. Don't get me wrong: Jay-Z is still the tits, and every song here — particularly "APESHIT" above and "LOVEHAPPY" below — is, at the very least, strong. But too many of the tracks are missing the layered artistry of this music video, which has Beyoncé's fingerprints all over it, much more so than the actual album. Which is to say: EVERYTHING IS LOVE is more 4:44 than Lemonade, lacking the latter's cavalcade of overnight classics.
More than anything else on EVERYTHING IS LOVE, this song is the culmination, the denouement, the resolution (for now) of Jay-Z and Beyonce's multi-year, triple-project, unparalleled and unprecedented musical journey. My big takeaway from it? Despite being a lifelong Hova fan, even I must admit that Beyoncé has now unequivocally dethroned Jay-Z in their domestic musical rivalry.

This is Naller Roach from Rathoath Road in Cabra West. Naller and my older brother Noel were great pals when they wre kids. One day they got this bright idea that they'd walk into town from Cabra and of they strolled down through Phibsborough and into town. Well the next thing is they find themselves in O'Connell Street standing at the foot of Nelson's Pillar. The ould fella on the gate to the Pillar wanted 3d each to let them go up but somehow or other the two lads, being from Cabra managed to slip by him and legged it up 168 steps to the top.
Well of course being the boys they were they were no sooner gawking through the railings at the top of the Pillar when they decided they needed a pee. Looking around them they noticed that there were no toilets at the top of Nelson's Pillar. Now down below was the old flower seller woman and the two lads bursting with their legs crossed at the knees. (Hold on now, don't jump ahead of the story) After a very short conference it was decided to pee out through the railings in the hope that a breeze would come along and scatter it up along the length of O'Connell Street. It didn't and the poor ould one down below got the full lash of it all over her flowers and herself.


The church year in the West begins with with a preparatory season called "Advent." The word "advent" comes from the Latin word adventus, meaning "appearing" or "coming," referring to the appearing of a great king or even a god. In Christian usage, it refers to the appearing of Jesus Christ in two ways – His first appearing as the Child born of the Virgin Mary and His second appearing in glory on the Last Day to judge the living and the dead. You see, Advent isn't only about getting ready for Christmas; it's also about getting ready for Jesus' final appearing in glory only the Last Day.
We live in the last days, between Christ's first and second appearances. He is always present with us, and always has been since the beginning. His presence is made audible and visible to us by the Spirit through the preached Word and the Sacraments. Only briefly did the Son of God show His face some 2000 years ago. Only at the end will we see His face again when He appears in glory. Until then, we watch and wait for His second advent even as we celebrate His first.
The season of Advent has its origins in France and Spain in the 4th and 5th centuries. As early as 380, the Council of Saragossa urged faithful Christians to attend church every day from December 17 through Epiphany (January 6). Early calendars in both the East and the West indicated a 40 day period of fasting, beginning on November 14. The liturgical principle is "fast before feast," following the pattern of Lent and Easter. Before a major feast there is a period of fasting – solemn, repentant preparation. This stands in sharp contrast to our consumerist culture that feasts first and then diets afterward, resolving to "do better" in the new year. Joyful feasting and disciplined fasting go hand in hand.
The 1st Sunday in Advent focuses on Christ's appearing in glory with the image of His triumphal ride into Jerusalem as the messianic King.
The 3rd Sunday again focuses on John the Baptizer, this time on the content of his preaching of repentance and his greatness as the forerunner of the Messiah.
The 4th Sunday emphasizes Jesus' immaculate conception by the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Virgin Mary. During the final week of Advent, it is customary to pray the "O Antiphons" from December 17 to December 23, a series of ancient prayers addressed to Christ in terms of Old Testament prophesy.
Advent is a season of quiet anticipation and expectation. The One who once came in humility by way of Bethlehem's manger, David's donkey, and Calvary's cross, who now comes to us hiddenly in His holy Word and the blessed Sacrament of His body and blood, will soon come visibly in blazing glory to raise the dead and give eternal life to all who call on His Name. The tone of Advent is joyful anticipation, a mixture of holy fear and expectant joy, like that of a mother-to-be awaiting the arrival of her first baby.
Advent is a time of sober patience. Sadly, our instant gratification culture seems to have had more influence on the Church than the Church has had on the surrounding culture. Advent has been gobbled up by the frenzy of the "winter holidays," which now begin after Halloween! By the time Christmas arrives, most are too weary to worship and too burned out from decking the halls to celebrate the birth of the world's Savior with any degree of joy much less energy. Remember, Christmas is a twelve day feast, beginning on December 25th. In celebrating Advent in all its somber, sober watchfulness, we Christians can give a priceless gift to each other and to the world by showing the patient hope we have in Jesus' coming.
The season has its own peculiar customs and traditions. One cherished tradition is the Advent wreath. This evergreen wreath with four candles is a tradition from northern Europe. Each candle stands for one of the four Sundays in Advent. The closed circle is a symbol of God's eternality. Like the circle, our Lord is without beginning and without end. The evergreen branches represent the eternal life that is ours through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, a life that transcends death itself. Just as the evergreen remains alive and fresh even in the dead of winter, so Jesus fills us with new life even in death. "I am the Resurrection and the Life. He who believes in me will live even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die" (John 11:25-26).
The candles remind us of Jesus Christ, who is the Light of the world, the Light no darkness can overcome. They also represent all baptized believers in Jesus who reflect His light into the darkness of this world and proclaim Him who called them out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9-10). Each successive week in Advent, another candle is lit. Sometimes smaller candles or little red berries are added to count off the days between Sundays. At Christmas Eve, the Advent wreath is replaced with a single white Christ candle, signifying the appearing of Christ in the world.
As the candles on the Advent wreath burn ever more brightly with the approach of Christmas, we are reminded of how near is the coming of our Savior Jesus Christ. Good news indeed! He comes to judge the world in His righteousness, and the verdict will be "innocent" in His atoning death. Your faith in Him will not be in vain. He comes to save!
Other Advent customs include the Advent calendar with its little doors or pockets each concealing a gift or Scripture verse and counting the days to Christmas, and the "Jesse Tree," depicting the family tree of Jesus as the promised Branch from the stem of Jesse (Isaiah 11:1). Advent calendars and Jesse Trees make fun family projects during the season of Advent.
The intent of Advent is not to "take the fun" out of Christmas but to restore the joy and celebration to Christmas by having a period of prayerful preparation and to put the holy back into the December "holidays." As we celebrate Christ's first coming by way of the Virgin and the manger, and as we delight in His sacramental coming to us in the Word and Supper, we await His coming in glory at a day and an hour no one knows.

BOK governor calls for changes to labor market
Korea's central bank chief said Sunday that the country should step up its efforts to promote the services industry and reduce gaps between regular and contract workers in order to create more jobs.
Bank of Korea Gov. Lee Ju-yeol said Asia's fourth-largest economy, which relies on high-tech manufacturing, is no longer effectively creating jobs and domestic demand.
"Along with efforts to create quality jobs, we need to continuously push for measures to ease the polarized structure of the labor market, including the improvement of conditions of non-regular workers," said Lee, who was recently nominated for a second term as BOK governor, in a report to the National Assembly ahead of his confirmation hearing.
He said the current semiconductor-driven growth has failed to create enough jobs and boost consumption. The nation's manufacturing sector is "reaching maturity" and its competitiveness has been weakening as challenges from Chinese firms grow, he added.
"We need to bolster [economic growth's] ripple effect on consumption by developing new growth industries and the services industry," Lee said.
The BOK raised its key rate to 1.5 percent last November, its first rate hike in more than six years. This year Lee has hinted that additional hikes may be gradual.
In the short term, the BOK is facing challenges as the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks are likely to increase their key rates at a faster pace than was anticipated.
If the Fed raises its key rate this month, the interest rate gap between South Korea and the United States will be reversed.
Analysts said that expectations of a more hawkish U.S. monetary policy may put the Bank of Korea in a tight spot, because a higher key rate in the United States compared with Korea could become a destabilizing factor for the Korean economy, which is burdened with high and rising household debt.


So it turns out my clutch on my T2 gave up the ghost on Tuesday morning, so i'm in the process of removing the transaxle to swap in a new one. I've had a search around here, but couldn't find much in the way of tips and tricks for a quick and easy removal of the box. I usually always work to a workshop manual for any of my cars, but I don't happen to have one for my City.
Any pointers would be well appreciated. i.e. what's suspension bits should be unbolted, and what's best left alone.
I can probably post a copy of the relevant pages from my Civic workshop manual if you like?
Hope this helps, click for a larger version.
Hugely helpful, thanks! I am perplexed why you need to remove the engine mount bolts, though i'm sure i'll discover why. I was also sus on whether it was OK to remove the cross member without supporting the engine first, which I now have the answer to.

In Defence of Mobile Gaming
by Guest Post March 5, 2021, 8:00 am 2.4k Views
BY TOM HUGGINS: It has become fashionable these days to look down on mobile gaming. References to Candy Crush Saga, and talk about developers abandoning 'real games' to develop for mobile still fill the conversations.
At a certain point in the past, I would have probably agreed with that sentiment. I was thinking about it recently however and I realised that the thing I use most for gaming is my iPhone.
I have a decent gaming PC, an Xbox One S and a Switch Lite. I'm far from the most hardcore gamer, as I've said I total a few hours a week on average but with all the options I have available; why does my phone rank highest. Well, there are a few reasons.
Gaming isn't something I can devote a lot of time to. Work and family time take priority. The Switch Lite was in fact a way for me to do a bit more gaming while I was sat on the sofa, staying sociable instead of locking myself away for a gaming session. My phone however allows me to game whenever it's convenient, and for whatever reason; I don't feel like it's a problem if its only a few minutes here and there. Ultimately, my Switch Lite is great, but it's still not as portable as the phone I take with me everywhere anyway.
This one might seem obvious but mobile platforms have a lot of free games. Whatever your feeling about free-to-play games, that means that you immediately have a large gaming library available to you without having to sign up for a service like Games Pass or EA Play. I'm not going to say that there aren't games out there where you have to pay to progress, that those games exist is obvious; but there's still choice involved. I've played games with a long grind simply because I refuse to buy packs or whatever in-game currency is available but I feel there are three arguments that need to be investigated here.
Firstly, if a game is free in the first place and I reach a point at which I can't progress without paying; I have two options. I can pay and support the developer further, or I can walk away from it and ultimately lose nothing.
Secondly, with the amount of loot boxes, season passes and paid DLC in console and PC gaming; is paying for resources in a mobile game really that different?
Lastly, I don't devote that much time to any one game on mobile, so walking away from a game that reaches a bottleneck in progression doesn't mean I've wasted a huge amount of time.
In terms of cost, mobile gaming is still the most cost-effective method of gaming I've found.
Take a moment to think of the situations in which you can use your phone. Now, try and figure out how many of them you could use a console or PC in.
I'm willing to bet your list of places you can use your phone was a lot longer than the places you could game on a traditional system. My phone goes everywhere with me. I use it for work as well as social media etc so I'm never really without it. Everywhere it goes, the games go too. We've already talked about free games and while I don't pay for resources, that doesn't mean I never pay for a game on mobile.
Games I love like Max Payne, XCOM, Knights of the Old Republic and This War of Mine are equally at home on my phone next to Pokemon Go, or my current 'ten minutes at a time' game Warhammer 40K: Lost Crusade.
When I look at mobile gaming as it stands today, I see it as a different platform to console or PC and I think this is part of why people have the view they do of it. PC gaming and console gaming share some elements but there are always things that set them apart, in that way mobile gaming is no different.
Could Mobile Gaming Replace PC Gaming?
Is mobile gaming ever going to replace a console or PC for me? No, of course it won't.
Like any other gaming platform, it has its limits but that's exactly my point, so does every other way we have of gaming. Personally, I find the idea of having as many ways to play appealing and the collection of games I have on my phone continues to grow.
So the next time you're tempted to think of mobile gaming as some poor relation to the rest, load up an app store and see what you're missing out on.

On the Margins: Violence Against Women with Disabilities
Publications, Research
by	Ereshnee Naidu, Sadiyya Haffejee, Lisa Vetten and Samantha Hargreaves April 1, 2005 115 Views
The Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation (CSVR) undertook a small-scale exploratory research project on gender-based violence and disabled women. We aimed to make visible the nature and forms of
violence against women with disabilities, their particular vulnerabilities to violence, and the barriers they confront accessing assistance. The study focused on women with physical, visual and hearing disabilities. Women with developmental (or mental) disabilities, as well as learning or psychiatric impairments, were not included in the ambit of the study. Being a small, exploratory study, it also did not aim to derive statistics on the prevalence of gender-based violence affecting disabled women.

New Year. New Nic! We are stoked to bring on this excellent natural processed Nicaragua to our menu. This coffee is very different from our last Nicaragua, the Finca El Bosque has really amazing sweetness. The natural process is super clean and doesn't come across as fermented or stewey. The black cherry and plum flavors are ripe and unctuous.
The Peralta Family has been producing coffee in Nicaragua since the early 1900s but in 2008 they began shifting their production to focus on specialty and international markets. This offering from Finca El Bosque was processed at the San Ignacio mill. This mill is exclusively used for the process of micro lots and certified Rain Forrest Alliance coffees from the Peralta Family Farms.
Natural process, dry process, unwashed, or natural sun-dried all refer to the same method of processing that usually involves drying coffee cherries on either patios or raised beds in the sun. To prevent the cherries from spoiling, they are raked and turned throughout the day and then covered at night or during rainstorms.
