Q: JS Get image directly from video stream as data url How would I go directly from video capture to a data url in javascript? I want to display the image to the user as a resized version, but keep the full size image available. So, how would I do this?
var PhotoBooth = {
    onMediaStream: function(stream) {
        PhotoBooth.canvas = $('canvas')[0];
        PhotoBooth.context = PhotoBooth.canvas.getContext('2d');

        PhotoBooth.localVideo = $('video')[0];
        PhotoBooth.localVideo.src = window.URL.createObjectURL(stream);
    },
    noStream: function() {
        console.log('FAIL TO GET WEBCAM ACCESS');
    }
};

getUserMedia(
    {video: true},
    PhotoBooth.onMediaStream,
    PhotoBooth.noStream
);

This is how I am currently saving the image for upload:
PhotoBooth.context.drawImage(PhotoBooth.localVideo, 0, 0, 200, 150);
$('#preview').show();

Then I retrive the saved image like so:
var dataUrl = PhotoBooth.canvas.toDataURL();

I'd like to keep the canvas the same size it is by default, but keep the actual data. Basically, I want the canvas to show a re-sized version, but maintain the full size version.

A: Here, canvas maintains the original 640x480 snapshot (use https fiddle for Chrome):

var start = () => navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ video: true })
  .then(stream => video.srcObject = stream)
  .catch(log);

var canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
canvas.width = 640;
canvas.height = 480;

var snap = () => {
  canvas.getContext('2d').drawImage(video, 0, 0, 640, 480);
  preview.getContext('2d').drawImage(canvas, 0, 0, 160, 120);
}

var log = msg => div.innerHTML += "
" + msg;
<button onclick="start()">Start!</button>
<button onclick="snap()">Snap!</button>

<video id="video" width="160" height="120" autoplay></video>
<canvas id="preview" width="160" height="120"></canvas>

'Very, very interesting' - Stoke City boss staying focused ahead of return to action
Stoke City are well poised to fight for a play-off spot in the Championship

Stoke City will return to action this week determined to keep a steady focus on their own targets – even if the second half of the Championship season proves a white knuckle ride.
Stoke have been forced to take a step back to watch the thrills of the play-off race over the last couple of weeks due to the postponements of away games at Coventry and Barnsley.
But they remain in the thick of the chase for a top six spot ahead of Thursday's home game against Derby County – and they know what they need as the drama continues to unfold.
Michael O'Neill said: "Every week you see results in the Championship that stun you really. Fulham and Bournemouth have looked the two strongest teams (but have had tough Decembers).
"Our form has been a little bit inconsistent since we beat West Brom and over that period and that's what happens, we're not alone. There are many teams in the Championship similar. Nottingham Forest had a terrible start and are now in a good run of form. Blackburn are a good example of a team in a great run of form.
Can Stoke finish in the top six? Have your say in the comments section
"It's going to be a very, very interesting second half of the season and I'm focusing on the fact that we have to concentrate on ourselves. It's not a league where you should be looking at teams around you because too much happens.
"The main focus is trying to win your own games and doing everything in your own control to maximise the points available to you."
Stoke are still without five potential starters as Jordan Thompson (knee), Joe Bursik (thigh), Romaine Sawyers (thigh), Nick Powell (leg) and Harry Souttar (knee) continue their rehabilitation.
The January transfer window will be tricky in terms of bolstering numbers thanks to both the impact of the pandemic and Financial Fair Play.
But O'Neill is still confident that his side can get better as the season goes on.
"I think we have potential still to grow and progress," he said.
"Injuries have obviously hurt us. The players (who are injured) in particular, we are looking at five players who would potentially be starting players in our team and have been starting players in our team.
"That's a big chunk of our team that's been missing in recent weeks. Certainly our squad and our bench would be much stronger if those players were available.
"We've got to try to believe we can still be stronger in the second half of the season.
"I think we've been tested in the first part of the season with the injuries we've had, obviously the Covid situation we've had, but we're still in a good position and we take the positives from that and move forward positively. We have everything to play for in the second half of the season."

Keep placing your baby on their back to sleep at 3 months. Very soon your baby will start rolling. This is generally from a back to front direction first and then, after a short time they learn to roll the other way. Supervised floor time every day will help them to practice and perfect their rolling skills. If your baby is still happy to be wrapped, keep doing this. In fact, wrapping will help to stabilise your baby on their back and is a protective strategy against SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) particularly at this age and stage.

Marching Men
by Sherwood Anderson
Book VI: Chapter III
All through the early months of that year in Chicago, rumours of a new and not understandable movement among labourers ran about among men of affairs. In a way the labourers understood the undercurrent of terror their marching together had inspired and like the advertising man dancing on the sidewalk before the grocery were made happy by it. Grim satisfaction dwelt in their hearts. Remembering their boyhoods and the creeping terror that invaded their fathers' houses in times of depression they were glad to spread terror among the homes of the rich and the well-to-do. For years they had been going through life blindly, striving to forget age and poverty. Now they felt that life had a purpose, that they were marching toward some end. When in the past they had been told that power dwelt in them they had not believed. "He is not to be trusted," thought the man at the machine looking at the man at work at the next machine. "I have heard him talk and at bottom he is a fool."
Now the man at the machine did not think of his brother at the next machine. In his dreams at night he was beginning to have a new vision. Power had breathed its message into his brain. Of a sudden he saw himself as a part of a giant walking in the world. "I am like a drop of blood running through the veins of labour," he whispered to himself. "In my own way I am adding strength to the heart and the brain of labour. I have become a part of this thing that has begun to move. I will not talk but will wait. If this marching is the thing then I will march. Though I am weary at the end of the day that shall not stop me. Many times I have been weary and was alone. Now I am a part of something vast. This I know, that a consciousness of power has crept into my brain and although I be persecuted I shall not surrender what I have gained."
In the offices of the plough trust a meeting of men of affairs was called. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the movement going on among the workers. At the plough works it had broken out. No more at evening did the men shuffle along, like a disorderly mob but marched in companies along the brick-paved street that ran by the factory door.
At the meeting David Ormsby had been as always quiet and self- possessed. A halo of kindly intent hung over him and when a banker, one of the directors of the company, had finished a speech he arose and walked up and down, his hands thrust into his trousers pockets. The banker was a fat man with thin brown hair and delicate hands. As he talked he held a pair of yellow gloves and beat with them on a long table at the centre of the room. The soft thump of the gloves upon the table made a chorus to the things he had to say. David motioned for him to be seated. "I will myself go to see this McGregor," he said, walking across the room and putting an arm about the shoulder of the banker. "Perhaps there is as you say a new and terrible danger here but I do not think so. For thousands, no doubt for millions of years, the world has gone on its way and I do not think it is to be stopped now.
"It has been my fortune to see and to know this McGregor," added David smiling at the others in the room. "He is a man and not a Joshua to make the sun stand still."
In the office in Van Buren Street, David, the grey and confident, stood before the desk at which sat McGregor. "We will get out of here if you do not mind," he said. "I want to talk to you and I would not like being interrupted. I have a fancy that we talk out of doors."
The two men went in a street car to Jackson Park and, forgetting to dine, walked for an hour along the paths under the trees. The wind from the lake had chilled the air and the park was deserted.
They went to stand on a pier that ran out into the lake. On the pier David tried to begin the talk that was the object of their being together but felt that the wind and the water that beat against the piling of the pier made talk too difficult. Although he could not have told why, he was relieved by the necessity of delay. Into the park they went again and found a seat upon a bench facing a lagoon.
In the presence of the silent McGregor David felt suddenly embarrassed and awkward. "By what right do I question him?" he asked himself and in his mind could find no answer. A half dozen times he started to say what he had come to say but stopped and his talk ran off into trivialities. "There are men in the world you have not taken into consideration," he said finally, forcing himself to begin. With a laugh he went on, relieved that the silence had been broken. "You see the very inner secret of strong men has been missed by you and others."
David Ormsby looked sharply at McGregor. "I do not believe that you believe we are after money, we men of affairs. I trust you see beyond that. We have our purpose and we keep to our purpose quietly and doggedly."
Again David looked at the silent figure sitting in the dim light and again his mind ran out, striving to penetrate the silence. "I am not a fool and perhaps I know that the movement you have started among the workers is something new. There is power in it as in all great ideas. Perhaps I think there is power in you. Why else should I be here?"
Again David laughed uncertainly. "In a way I am in sympathy with you," he said. "Although all through my life I have served money I have not been owned by it. You are not to suppose that men like me have not something beyond money in mind."
The old plough maker looked away over McGregor's shoulder to where the leaves of the trees shook in the wind from the lake. "There have been men and great leaders who have understood the silent competent servants of wealth," he said half petulantly. "I want you to understand these men. I should like to see you become such a one yourself--not for the wealth it would bring but because in the end you would thus serve all men. You would get at truth thus. The power that is in you would be conserved and used more intelligently."
"To be sure, history has taken little or no account of the men of whom I speak. They have passed through life unnoticed, doing great work quietly."
The plough maker paused. Although McGregor had said nothing the older man felt that the interview was not going as it should. "I should like to know what you have in mind, what in the end you hope to gain for yourself or for these men," he said somewhat sharply. "There is after all no point to our beating about the bush."
McGregor said nothing. Arising from the bench he began again to walk along the path with Ormsby at his side.
"The really strong men of the world have had no place in history," declared Ormsby bitterly. "They have not asked that. They were in Rome and in Germany in the time of Martin Luther but nothing is said of them. Although they do not mind the silence of history they would like other strong men to understand. The march of the world is a greater thing than the dust raised by the heels of some few workers walking through the streets and these men are responsible for the march of the world. You are making a mistake. I invite you to become one of us. If you plan to upset things you may get yourself into history but you will not really count. What you are trying to do will not work. You will come to a bad end."
When the two men emerged from the park the older man had again the feeling that the interview had not been a success. He was sorry. The evening he felt had marked for him a failure and he was not accustomed to failures. "There is a wall here that I cannot penetrate," he thought.
Along the front of the park beneath a grove of trees they walked in silence. McGregor seemed not to have heard the words addressed to him. When they came to where a long row of vacant lots faced the park he stopped and stood leaning against a tree to look away into the park, lost in thought.
David Ormsby also became silent. He thought of his youth in the little village plough factory, of his efforts to get on in the world, of the long evenings spent reading books and trying to understand the movements of men.
"Is there an element in nature and in youth that we do not understand or that we lose sight of?" he asked. "Are the efforts of the patient workers of the world always to be abortive? Can some new phase of life arise suddenly upsetting all of our plans? Do you, can you, think of men like me as but part of a vast whole? Do you deny to us individuality, the right to stand forth, the right to work things out and to control?"
The ploughmaker looked at the huge figure standing beside the tree. Again he was irritated and kept lighting cigars which after two or three puffs he threw away. In the bushes at the back of the bench insects began to sing. The wind coming now in gentle gusts swayed slowly the branches of the trees overhead.
"Is there an eternal youth in the world, a state out of which men pass unknowingly, a youth that forever destroys, tearing down what has been built?" he asked. "Are the mature lives of strong men of so little account? Have you like the empty fields that bask in the sun in the summer the right to remain silent in the presence of men who have had thoughts and have tried to put their thoughts into deeds?"
Still saying nothing McGregor pointed with his finger along the road that faced the park. From a side street a body of men swung about a corner, coming with long strides toward the two. As they passed beneath a street lamp that swung gently in the wind their faces flashing in and out of the light seemed to be mocking David Ormsby. For a moment anger burned in him and then something, perhaps the rhythm of the moving mass of men, brought a gentler mood. The men swinging past turned another corner and disappeared beneath the structure of an elevated railroad.
The ploughmaker walked away from McGregor. Something in the interview, terminating thus with, the presence of the marching figures had he felt unmanned him. "After all there is youth and the hope of youth. What he has in mind may work," he thought as he climbed aboard a street car.
In the car David put his head out at the window and looked at the long line of apartment buildings that lined the streets. He thought again of his own youth and of the evenings in the Wisconsin village when, himself a youth, he went with other young men singing and marching in the moonlight.
In a vacant lot he again saw a body of the Marching Men moving back and forth and responding quickly to the commands given by a slender young man who stood on the sidewalk beneath a street lamp and held a stick in his hand.
In the car the grey-haired man of affairs put his head down upon the back of the seat in front. Half unconscious of his own thoughts his mind began to dwell upon the figure of his daughter. "Had I been Margaret I should not have let him go. No matter what the cost I should have clung to the man," he muttered.

Alamos Gold's Island Gold mine continues to climb list of Ontario's best producers
Investors and company management at Alamos Gold couldn't be happier with results at Island Gold – Alamos' mine just east of Dubreuilville and north of Wawa.
Island Gold was once again the largest driver of global mineral reserves and resource growth for the company in 2020.
"We had an excellent 2020 on the exploration front despite a smaller than planned program due to COVID-19. We more than replaced Global Mineral Reserves and added another million ounces of high-grade Mineral Reserves and Resources at Island Gold," said John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer.
The company says despite a smaller than planned drill program due to COVID-19, Island Gold more than replaced Mineral Reserves and delivered its largest annual increase in Inferred Mineral Resources to date and at significantly higher grades.
In fact, company data suggests that Island Gold is Canada's third-best average grade, just behind Kirkland Lake Gold's Macassa Mine in Kirkland Lake, and Wesdome's Eagle River Mine near Wawa.
"Island Gold is now approaching five million ounces of combined Mineral Reserves and Resources with excellent potential for this growth to continue with the deposit open laterally and at depth. This growth further increases the value of the operation beyond what was outlined in the Phase III Expansion Study this past year and reaffirms the decision to put in a shaft," McCluskey added.
Mineral Reserves increased 8% in 2020 to 1.3 million ounces, despite the primary focus in 2020 being on Mineral Resource growth. The increase in Mineral Reserves included the addition of 239,000 ounces which more than offset mining depletion of 144,000 ounces.
Mineral Reserve grades decreased slightly to 9.71g/t Au due to higher grades mined in 2020 (11.18 g/t Au) as well as a reduction in the cut-off grade reflecting lower expected costs following the completion of the Phase III Expansion in 2025. Since the acquisition of Island Gold in November 2017, mineral reserves have increased 74%, net of depletion, with mineral reserve grades increasing 6%.
The increased grades are combined with lower costs, making Alamos an attractive proposition for investors. Since 2014 the company has seen average costs drop from $1452/ounce to $656 in 2019.
The company added to the good news from Island Gold earlier this year when they released their latest exploration numbers.
The results from each section of the mine were more than encouraging.
Island East: High-grade gold mineralization extended 110 metres down-plunge from the nearest Inferred Mineral Resource block, and up to 70 m below, and west of previously reported drillhole. New drill highlights include:
• 54.18 g/t Au (31.94 g/t cut) over 6.54 m (MH25-05);
• 123.74 g/t Au (15.75 g/t cut) over 5.06 m (MH25-06); and
• 21.88 g/t Au (21.88 g/t cut) over 2.52 m (620-623-07).
In the Island Main area: High-grade gold mineralization intersected up to 200m east of existing Mineral Reserves in Island Main and between Mineral Reserve and Resource blocks in middle to upper areas of Island East (between depth of 850 and 1,100 m). New highlights include:
• 18.64 g/t Au (18.64 g/t cut) over 5.89 m (840-578-11); and
At Island West: Underground directional drilling extended high-grade mineralization up to 45 m beyond the nearest Inferred Mineral Resources. New highlights include:
"These latest results conclude another successful drilling campaign in 2020. We expect these results to drive further growth in high-grade Mineral Resources at Island Gold with our 2020 year-end update, improving already attractive economics with the Phase III shaft expansion, while also clearly demonstrating the significant ongoing growth potential of the deposit," said McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer.
$25 million is budgeted in 2021 for surface and underground exploration at Island Gold, up from the initial 2020 budget of $21 million. The company says the focus remains on continuing to define new near mine Mineral Resources across the two-kilometre-long Island Gold Main Zone, as well as advancing and evaluating several regional targets.
The 2021 exploration budget includes 27,500 m of surface directional drilling, 24,000 m of underground directional drilling, 28,000 m of underground exploration drilling, and 900 m of underground exploration development to extend drill platforms on the 620, 790, and 840-levels.
A significantly larger regional exploration program is also planned in 2021.

This will be a multi-part blog entry highlighting the most frequently asked questions of a Homeowners Insurance Claim.
Part 1: Understanding the Insurance Adjusters Report.
The adjusters report is a line item estimate prepared by the Insurance Adjuster showing replacement cost per room of your home.
There are three main columns to the Adjusters report.
RCV – Replacement Cost Value. The estimated cost of repairing a damaged item or replacing an item with a similar one.
ACV – Actual Cost Value. The estimated value of the item or damage at the time of the loss. Generally, ACV is calculated as Replacement Cost Value (RCV) minus Depreciation.
Depreciation – Loss of value that has occurred over time due to factors such as age, wear and tear, and obsolescence. If depreciation is recoverable, the amount is shown in ( ). If depreciation is not recoverable, the amount is shown in < >.
Above we see that drywall is paying $50.35 for full replacement. The initial check that arrives with the adjusters report will be the total of the ACV column less your deductible. When the contractor completes the project, they will submit a line item invoice for all items that were replaced or repaired in the Depreciation column that are recoverable.
Now lets look at R&R Carpet. R&R stands for "Remove and Replace". The carpet is paying $792.09 to remove the carpet and replace with new. Notice the Deprecation is in < >, meaning the deprecation is not recoverable due to this is an item that is expected to wear over time and will be replaced. So the actual payout for the carpet is the ACV of $643.76 as the depreciation is not recoverable.
Your potential reimbursement is governed by the replacement cost. Please keep in mind that when repairing or replacing an item, you can recover only the amount you actually spend. For instance, in our earlier example we determined the RCV of your laptop was $1,000. If you purchase a replacement laptop for $900 and submit a request for the recoverable depreciation, The Insurance company will reimburse you $300 – the difference between the ACV of your previous laptop ($600) and the cost of your new one ($900). If you find that you cannot repair or replace damaged or destroyed item(s) for the replacement cost established on your estimate, you would need to contact your Claim professional before repairing or replacing the item(s).
The rules that apply to your laptop are the same that apply to your kitchen cabinets, flooring, sinks, faucets, etc.

Largest Class of Mentees Kicks Off New Year at Seton Hall University
FWA Mentees at Seton Hall University
The mentoring partnership between FWA NJ and the Seton Hall University (SHU) Stillman School of Business kicked off a new year with the largest class of mentees in its three-year history. A new class of 21 SHU Stillman students met their FWA NJ mentors for the first time at a networking event in Jubilee Hall on Wednesday, September 27. The program has grown from 11 mentees in 2015.
The number of FWA mentors increased this year enabling the increase in mentees, said Carol Doyle, a co-chair of the program. "You can't have mentees without mentors," she said, adding that there has been greater interest among FWA members in giving back and helping the next generation.
Mentees networking with each other and their Mentors
All mentors introduced themselves briefly, and a common theme was the satisfaction they get from the mentor-mentee relationship when both sides are committed to making it work. Many have been mentors since the program started and have developed friendships with their mentees.
Good communication is key to the relationship. "Communicate, communicate, communicate," is the "c" in the "abc"s of being a good mentee, said Marguerita Courtney-O'Neill, a managing director of MUFG, who spoke to the gathering about what makes for good mentor-mentee relationships. Be action oriented and take the initiative is the "a" and be yourself is the "b". The "abc"s for mentors are: "a"– accept you do not have all the answers, "b"–be yourself and "c"–coach for success in business.
(l-r): Mindy Youse-Warde, Co-Chair of FWA NJ; Joyce Strawser, Dean of the Stillman School of Business, Seton Hall University; Stacy Musi, President of FWA; and Carol Doyle, Co-Chair of the mentoring program; Marguerita Courtney-O'Neill, MUFG and Elizabeth Harper, Co-Chair of the mentoring program.
Overcoming the generational divide is also critical, noted mentor Christine Birnbaum. The younger generation is used to texting and may not look at email very often, she said, but it is still very important in the business world and for mentors. Agreeing on the best way to talk to each other is a basic first step in the mentor-mentee relationship.
During the introductions, the mentors described their own wide variety of experiences, company affiliations and career paths, many unexpected and unplanned. They advised mentees to always be open to new possibilities and a change of plans, because "the jobs of tomorrow do not exist today."
The mentors are all members of the FWA and have at least a decade of business experience. The program helps young women launch their careers and develop skills that will help them succeed in the business world. The mentees are generally juniors or seniors enrolled in the Stillman School, although a number of sophomores are also participating this year. The students must be taking a business-related course and have a GPA of 3.0 or above.
Seton Hall Mentees and their Mentors


We are living in an age of transition. The age of Christianity has not ended, but rather an age of Christianity. Christianity did not come down from above – it has been continually shaped by times and circumstances in which the people of the time have had to make hard decisions.
We have entered an age of pluralism. Our society consists of a plurality of worldviews, some religious, some not. Religion has largely become a matter of personal choice. Societies have become secular in the sense that their identity is no longer based on religious values. And there has been a shift in society from 'we' to 'me'. Young people are not necessarily seeing their lives in terms of a 'vocation', and intention to serve the community. We might berate the fact that there are fewer vocations to the priesthood and religious life, but this is part of a pattern. We will soon experience a need for more teachers in schools. We are already seeing problems in health services with a lack of nurses and doctors.
And a new phenomenon is occurring which we call "The New Atheism" – people who do not say outright that there is no God but who are living their lives as if there were none.
To be a genuine Christian in a pluralist society is to make a definite stand. The Church may for a time grow smaller in numbers, as was predicted at the time of Vatican II, but this will make the Church stronger in the long run. Only a totally committed Church will attract others, as happened in the first century. Pope John XXIII prayed for a new Pentecost. Pentecost is associated with fire. We can see the saintly Pope's prediction fulfilled in our own time as the Church is purged of scandal and apathy. It is painful, but hopeful, as we remember Jesus' words at the Last Supper: "My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that bears no fruit he cuts away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes to make it bear even more".
The ever-practical Saint James saw the Church as first fruits: "By his own choice (God) made us his children by the message of the truth so that we should be a sort of first-fruits of all that he had created" (1:18). The first part of the harvest that was gathered, or the first offspring of the flock that was born, were offered to God by the Israelites as a recognition that the whole harvest or the whole flock was a gift from God. In reality, they were consecrating the entire harvest or the entire flock. This is how we should see the Church, small as she may be, in relation to the world. By our very presence in the midst of the world and its affairs we are consecrating the world to God. This makes us a priestly people. I have frequently told the daily Mass crowd in the various parishes I've ministered to, that they are the most important group in the parish, for each day they bring the entire parish with them to the Eucharist.
God has not lost the plot. He hopes we haven't either.
How is your life of faith going? Or to put it another way, how is your relationship with God going as you live it out through the beliefs and practices of our Catholic tradition? This is the question that the universal Church asks us to consider in this Year of Faith. This 'year' began on 11 October 2012, the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council, and will conclude on 24 November 2013, the Solemnity of Christ the King.
From this invitation we are invited to see that faith is more than an assent to beliefs and practices, more than simply 'following the rules'. At its heart is our relationship with Jesus, the Risen One in whom we believe, as St. Paul wrote "I know him in whom I have believed" (2 Tim 1:12). The development of this relationship is at the heart of our life of faith and the way in which we invite and form others who seek to enter our Catholic community.
As we know however, faith in someone cannot be totally separated from our knowledge about them. We have faith in those around us because we know who they are, what they stand for and how they behave. Our love for them and knowledge about them go hand in hand to strengthen the faith we have in who they are and in the faith that they themselves have and believe.
Likewise, "the faith which is a personal trust in the Lord and the faith which we profess in the Creed are inseparable; they focus on each other and they require each other. There exists a profound bond between the lived faith and its contents."3 Therefore, this Year of Faith invites us not only to consider our relationship with God in Jesus, but also our awareness and understanding of our Catholic beliefs.
1. Read and reflect upon Pope Benedict XVI's Apostolic Letter, Porta fidei. You might like to do this as part of a small group reflection process.
2. Participate in the Eucharist more regularly.
3. We live our relationships – find new ways to express your faith through action within the parish or wider community.
4. Utilise the Awaken: Advent & Christmas Reflections material as either a personal reflection time or with family or community.
5. Read and reflect upon the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the documents of Vatican II.
6. Offer prayer for a deeper relationship with Jesus and understanding of our faith by all within our Catholic community.

– and building on the significant work in 2012 in training and formation for new and renewed models of liturgical ministry, our major focus for 2013 is on the development and launch of the School of Liturgical Ministry (Action B.2 from the Diocesan Pastoral Plan). A structured approach to liturgical ministry formation will be established, with boot camp courses in liturgical spirituality for everyone involved in liturgy, specialist ministry initial training courses, as well as ongoing formation courses for each ministry. We will utilise much of the course materials developed in 2012 and continue to offer PSALMIST scholarships. In addition, the Diocese will offer a range of Certificate level studies in liturgy and music.
Formation and training in ministries not covered during 2012 will be offered in 2013. The Diocese will continue its partnership with the Australian Pastoral Musicians Network and offer workshops on Copyright, another running of the popular "Selecting Music for Mass" workshop and a session for composers. A forward schedule will be included in the next edition of Faith & Life e-newsletter.
This month's article on upcoming Music Selections for Mass includes recommendations for February and March 2013, including the season of Lent and the Triduum.
I hope you have a joyful and blessed Christmas.
Lent begins early in 2013!
As Ash Wednesday begins 13 February 2013, we want to ensure that you have as much time as possible to make your Lenten preparations. With that in mind, we are delighted to announce that the Diocese of Wollongong is publishing BELIEVE: Lenten Program 2013 – a 44 page program designed as a six-week Lenten resource for small groups, prayer companions, staff reflections, families and individuals.
Why believe in God? How do I believe in the midst of so many contrary signs in today's world? Through this year's Lenten Program, we are invited to renew our trust in God's faithfulness and God's merciful love.
This resource will both affirm us and surprise us as we rediscover that our efforts to believe are embraced in the far greater belief and love of our God for us. During this Year of Grace and Year of Faith, let us take up the opportunity to deepen our belief in the goodness of our God.
Fr Graham Schmitzer offers engaging weekly Scripture commentaries accompanied by enlightening spiritual direction from Sr Hilda Scott OSB . Each week also contains challenging reflection questions as well as some practical lenten tips by Fr Graham. The whole is offered within the stunning artwork of Sydney-based artist, Nelson Colo Matoma.
A Double-CD resource ($8.00) is also available to accompany the program that offers narrations of the Scriptures and commentaries as well as a beautiful sung closing prayer and mantra written by Paul Mason. The CD Resource will also be available for free download on this page in mid-January 2013 (www.lent.dow.org.au).
As always, we have attempted to keep prices low (from $4.40) to ensure our resource can be made widely available for local communities. Please find below an order form as well as a sample from Week Four of the program.

My wife Veronica and my children Peter, Joanne, David and Megan.
What has brought you the greatest joy and most challenge in your role so far?
Greatest joy: Establishing rapport and harmonious team. Greatest challenge: prioritising the agenda for meetings.
Through the love of my family.
What inspires you in your broader ministry within the Church?
The opportunity to participate in the continuing development of my own faith journey.
The Church provides hope to all people who are prepared to put their trust in Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit will always be present in their lives and through Jesus Christ the Church will respond to the many challenges it faces.
In this issue we begin a 10 part series looking at the "Ten steps to strengthen and Support Families" by the Australian Catholic Social Justice Council.
Balancing the demands of being with family and working to make ends meet can often be a challenge. However, as we know, good family relationships can go a long way to providing the strength and support that each of us need to face life's ups and downs.
So how might we strengthen these ties?
Plan to have some time when the family is together and engages in a shared activity like cooking a meal, visiting relatives, going to a park, or organising the photo albums.
Family time need not be private or expensive to be valuable.
Integrating leisure time with some service to others not only builds up the family but contributes to the community and brings a sense of satisfaction.
Do some small jobs for friends or neighbours. Join a parish or community group that supports vulnerable people, particularly young families, the elderly or people with disabilities.
Youth Ministry ESSENTIALS is an exciting, intensive training program open to anybody wishing to further develop their skills and knowledge in their ministry with young people.
important ministry of the church.
The program itself is a tool, a developed series of sessions to assist you in developing yourself as a minister with young people. Much of the learning will occur with the interaction between participants over the course of the program.
Cost of the program is $100 if registered before 23rd December or full registration of $125 by the middle of January.
For Registration and Enquiries contact Loretta Brinkman or phone Loretta on 4253 0809 in 2012 or 4253 0900 in 2013.

Q: Path traced out by a point While studying uniform circular motion at school, one of my friends asked a question:
"How do I prove that the path traced out by a particle  such that an applied force of constant magnitude acts on it perpendicular to its velocity is a circle?" Our physics teacher said it was not exactly a very simple thing to prove.
I really wish to know how one can prove it.Thank you!

A: One can prove it in a more-or-less elementary way by solving a pair of simultaneous differential equations. In two dimensions, a vector that is perpendicular to a velocity $$\left(\begin{matrix}u(t)\cr v(t)\end{matrix}\right)\quad\mathrm{is}\quad\left(\begin{matrix}-v(t)\cr u(t)\end{matrix}\right).$$ The acceleration, the time derivative of the velocity, is proportional to this vector, so we have the two differential equations
$$\left(\begin{matrix}\dot u(t)\cr \dot v(t)\end{matrix}\right)=\lambda\left(\begin{matrix}-v(t)\cr u(t)\end{matrix}\right).$$
If $\lambda$ is negative, the circle goes "the opposite way". If $\lambda$ is zero, the circle is a straight line.
If you know differentiation and how to solve differential equations, you should be able to solve this pair of equations, and then integrate it to obtain the way in which the position changes over time. If you don't, then it may be better to be patient and wait until you come across it in the course of your studies. Learning calculus on your own to the level needed to solve this differential equation is possible, however.

A: Try looking for uniform circular motion in google. It is not hard to prove it if you know something about vectors and what taking a derivative of vector function means. Force is a vector it is proportional to acceleration. Acceleration is change in velocity(remember a vector) divided by time(really shot period of time). Try to draw a circle yourself and some velocity, acceleration and position vectors

A: If you don't want or know how to solve a pair of simultaneous differential equations, try this more elementary approach using complex numbers and ordinary time derivatives.
Consider the arbitrary path, with parameter t, in the complex plane:
$r(t)e^{i\theta(t)}$
The "velocity" is the time derivative:
$[\frac{dr}{dt} + ir(t)\frac{d\theta}{dt}] e^{i\theta(t)}$
The "acceleration" is the 2nd time derivative:
$\{[\frac{d^2r}{dt^2} - r(t)(\frac{d\theta}{dt})^2] + i[2(\frac{dr}{dt}\frac{d\theta}{dt}) + r(t)\frac{d^2\theta}{dt^2}]\}e^{i\theta(t)}$
We require that the "acceleration" be orthogonal to the "velocity".  In polar representation, this just means that the ratio of the two complex numbers is an imaginary number (multiplication by $i$ is a rotation of 90 degrees in the complex plane).
If you stare at the two derivatives a bit, you see that this condition only holds if $r$ and $\frac{d\theta}{dt}$ are constants:
$r(t) = R$
$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \omega$
Then the "velocity" is just:
$iR\omega e^{i\omega t}$
and the "acceleration" is just:
$-R\omega^2e^{i\omega t}$
So, the "velocity" and "acceleration" are indeed orthogonal.  The path then is just:
$Re^{i\omega t}$
This is just a circle in the complex plane.
Of course, you could have done this with polar coordinates in the x-y plane but polar complex numbers make the derivatives so much easier!

A: I think you can prove it you can prove that the acceleration vector $\vec{a}$ is decomposed into two components
  $$\vec{a} = \dot{v}\, \hat{e} + \frac{v^2}{r} \hat{n}$$
one tangential to motion along the unit direction vector $\hat{e}$ and one perpendicular to along the unit direction $\hat{n}$, with tangential speed $v$, change in speed $\dot v$ and path radius of curvature $r$.
So if the path was not a circle, there would be a component of $\vec{a}=\frac{\vec{F}}{m}$ along the tangential vector $\hat{e}$ changing the speed $v$ as to moves along. The hole thing hinges on the fact that speed does not change in uniform circular motion.
The above comes from math called Differential Geometry along a curve, and it is related to accelerations here.

From Luncheon Lectures to the Brown Bag to the Gatty Lecture Series, 1950-2021
By Thak Chaloemtiarana, professor, Asian literature, religion, and culture; and Asian studies
The Cornell Southeast Asia Program (SEAP) was founded by Professor Lauristan Sharp in 1950 with Professor George Kahin as its Executive Director. To help this new enterprise form an emerging field of study when there were few published texts or research, it was decided that prominent figures, be they scholars or government officials who know Southeast Asia, should be invited to campus to give lectures, seminars, and to meet with the few pioneering graduate students affiliated with the program.
In his 1952 annual report, Professor Kahin explains: A special effort was made during the course of 1952 to bring to Cornell at fairly regular intervals visiting lecturers possessing a particular knowledge of one or more of the various Southeast Asian countries. Some of these people met with scheduled seminars, while special meetings of students and staff in the Program were arranged to be addressed by others. In addition, our students were encouraged to meet with these people informally for talks in those cases where these visitors were here for more than a day.
In the very first few years of SEAP's existence, many famous and well-known individuals came to give lectures at Cornell. These included Professor Paul Mus, US Ambassador to Thailand Edwin Stanton, Luang Bisuddhi Suriyabongs, Professor Pe Nuyent (Chairman of the Department of Political Sciences, the University of Rangoon), Sanya Dhammasak, Prince Piya Rangsit, Margaret Mead, Indonesian Ambassador to the UN Ali Sastroamidjojo, Lieutenant Governor of the Netherlands Indies H.J.van Mook, and Mom Luang Tooi Xoomsai. Amazingly, in addition to the eight Indonesian government officials who stayed at Cornell for a whole month, seventeen visitors gave lectures in 1952. In 1953, the practice of bringing notable lecturers to campus continued, among those who came to Cornell was Ngo Dinh Diem. He returned to South Vietnam the following year to become prime minister under Emperor Bao Dai.
Thus, SEAP was one of first—if not the first—to institutionalize a lecture series at Cornell in order to construct a new field of study and to educate its graduate students about Southeast Asia.
Both Professor Stanley O'Connor (SEAP 1959-1965) and Professor Charles Keyes (SEAP 1959-1965) of the University of Washington confirmed that the Brown Bag lectures were already in existence when they arrived. With the help of Emily Donald who did most of the legwork in finding data of the early years, I can now pronounce that the Brown Bag luncheon lecture program was established on February 26, 1959. Eight graduate students—Jack Carroll, Ngoc Thu Phan, Idrus Djajadiningrat, Herbert Feith, Jasper Ingersoll, Joo D. Khoo, Donald Pond, and David Wurfel—sent a note to members of the Southeast Asia Program announcing that regular meetings would be held at 102 West Avenue every other Thursday for talks during the lunch hour. Soon, however, the lectures became weekly events. The note gave the following reasons for establishing the regular lunch hour talks:
…to enable members to know each other better and to share more fully our individual experiences and interests in Southeast Asia. This would also provide a forum for speakers whom many of us have otherwise no opportunity to hear: visitors to Ithaca, Cornellians recently back from Asia, and so on.
The suggestion was that faculty and students would meet to eat lunch by bringing their own sandwiches in typical "brown (paper) bags." SEAP would provide coffee. As an aside, by the time I arrived ten years later in 1968, in addition to coffee, there were also cookies! The Brown Bag lecture series retained its name even after free lunches were provided when I became director of SEAP in 1998. From pizza, coffee, soda, and cookies, the graduate student committees have, over time, opted for more healthy victuals and diversity of cuisines. The Brown Bag (BB) lecture series was renamed the endowed Ronald and Jeanette Gatty lecture series in 2014. SEAP's Thursday luncheon lecture series is the only one on campus that provides free lunch for its audience.
The first BB lecture meeting was held on Thursday, March 5th at 12:15 p.m. at 102 West Avenue. The Thursday lunch hour thus became a tradition since 1959. Another important feature of the lecture series is that it is managed by a graduate student committee chaired or co-chaired by one or two of its members. In this way, students are involved in the shaping of the field by identifying speakers whose works or knowledge were either foundational, exciting, emerging, or trending. The leadership and participation of all students at the lectures and following dinner meeting also facilitated their entry into the international scholarly network beyond the SEAP community. Faculty involvement in selecting speakers has been mainly in advisory roles.
102 West Avenue is the address of the Modern Indonesia Project building where Professors Kahin, Anderson, graduate students writing dissertations (or married with children), and visiting fellows had offices. That building was a rundown (at one time condemned) former fraternity house. It was finally declared unfit for habitation, demolished, and made into a parking lot. It was the predecessor to the Kahin Center.
102 West is well-known to the early scholars of Southeast Asia because many foundational dissertations (later published as books) written there gave credit to that building. The slanting floors, rickety stairs, loose bannisters, and drafty windows surprised visitors who were amazed that this famous building that produced so much early scholarship on Southeast Asia was so dilapidated and unworthy of its reputation. However, Professor Kahin famously declared that scholarly productivity is inversely related to the underwhelming magnificence of 102 West.[i]
Professor Stan O'Connor sent me an email that succinctly summarized the importance of the early BB lectures. Professor O'Connor writes:
People were widely scattered and eager to find people with similar obsessions and experience. Several seemed quite odd, but very lively…including many European scholars and some public officials from Southeast Asia… All this had a wonderful feeling of beginnings and discovery… Almost everyone in this small community came to 102 West Avenue adding excitement to the jumble and provisionality of the building itself. These were high energy occasions. Everyone showed up for what was often quite exciting…you did have the feeling of something into being. The talks were exploratory, searching, and consequential. There was limited reading of research papers or reflection on methodological anxieties. The Brown Bags did what they were intended to do: build an intellectual community.
When I arrived in 1968, the Brown Bag lectures at 102 West were unrivalled on campus as a "must attend" and "standing-room only" events. Because of the US involvement in Southeast Asia and the anti-Vietnam War movement, interest in the region peaked from the mid-1960s until the end of the 1970s. The lectures and those in attendance—graduate students from SEAP and beyond, and almost all SEAP faculty members—were eager to witness the energy, excitement, and discovery of new knowledge that began to shape Southeast Asian Studies as a viable field of study, and to learn about a region that was important to US foreign policy. Scholars and government officials from beyond Cornell came to talk about their work and how it was relevant to our common interest. Many of the lectures, if not most, presented raw data and unfolding discoveries. In a sense, those who attended the talks were also participants of the presenter's journey and experience.
The majority of speakers in the 1960s were professors, both well-established scholars and younger scholars who helped to shape Southeast Asian Studies as a viable field of study. Some of these scholars (now well-known) included Harry Benda, Ruth McVey, J.A.C. Mackie, Nicholas Tarling, Robert O.Tilman, Wang Gung Wu, James Peacock, Bernard Fall, A. Thomas Kirsch, William Klausner, Lucien Hanks, Elizer Ayal, Alexander Griswold, Josef Silverstein, David Wyatt, Robert Pringle, John Smail, Frederick Bunnell, Wilhelm Solheim, Stanley Tambiah, David Wilson, Herbert Philips, Ben Anderson, David Marr, Hans Dieter Evers, and James Siegel.
The tradition of enhancing the understanding of Southeast Asia also continued into the 1960s with talks given by prominent personalities and US officials who were involved in the affairs of the region. The names of speakers who were not associated with universities included, for example, Colonel Ngoc Thao Pham (Armed Forces of the Republic of Vietnam); Van Dinh Tran (Vietnam Embassy); Francis Underhill (U.S. Army War College); Sukich Nimmanhaemin (Thai Ambassador to the U.S.); Colonel George Benson (U.S. Army Attache, Djakarta); Anthony Eden (Earl of Eden and former UK prime minister who spoke about Vietnam in the international situation); Mohamad Roem (former prime minister of Indonesia); Paul Sitthi-Amnuay (Vice President, Bangkok Bank, NY); Gunnar Myrdal (author of Asian Drama); Mohammad Hatta (former prime minister and VP of Indonesia); General Carlos Romulo (former Foreign Secretary and President of the University of the Philippines); Soejatmoko (Indonesian Ambassador to the U.S.), Douglas Pike (United States Information Service), and C.V. Devan Nair (Malaysian MP and future President of Singapore).

For the previous ten years, public faculties have had trouble funding school packages reminiscent of art class and music class. Our educational institutes are offering the identical old fashioned, hackneyed, outmoded two/three year programs & examination applications in arts, culture and music. Lecturers should establish these standards in classrooms beginning in a kindergarten basic music class, and ending in undergraduate degree normal, band, choral, or orchestral classes. Our on-going teaching workers have first-hand knowledge and expertise of music efficiency, studio recording, international touring, music journalism, occasion coordination and music enterprise.
The Modern Touring Initiative, as a part of the Visual Arts and Craft Technique, supports vital exhibitions of labor by residing contemporary visible artists and craft practitioners that reach and have interaction national audiences, and prolong into regional communities. For instance in my highschool in Burbank California a guardian spoke to executives at NBC studios.
Electives/Seminars: could embrace up to three credits of studio classes, music idea courses, or non-music programs at the University of Rochester's fundamental campus. The brand new Arts work-placement module presents college students a novel alternative to take an optionally available work-placement module in second yr. You don't have to be enrolled in a music degree to study music – our models of research can be found to college students in all levels on the College of Sydney.
Study from trade consultants concerning the points and developments that drive the modern music world. There are products on the market, that for a low value, can still assist educate your little one within the high quality arts. You should have a considerable alternative of music-associated options, allowing you to build up a distinctive profile as a composer, songwriter, performer, producer, educator or worker inside the cultural and music industries.
Register and apply directly to UON – inside switch for current UON students (Home and International) wishing to transfer from one other UON diploma to B Music/B Arts. Society and Culture, History, Geography, Creative Arts, and Languages really helpful dependent on selection of Arts Major. In Second Arts-Music, students take Music as a Single Topic (50 credit) or a Main Subject (forty credits) or a Joint Subject (30 credit).


We've accomplished so much this year even up to the last weeks of December and now it's time to give pause in our busy schedule to recharge our batteries, reflect on our awesome accomplishments this past year, and to reset our focus towards 2019 and beyond which is turning out to be as ambitious and exciting as this past year.
We couldn't have done all of this work without every part of our Ohana coming to the Center ready to work and contribute every day to our ongoing success. Without the individual contributions from our Ohana, we would not have maintained 100% program execution despite varying challenges. So let me first highlight what you have all done to carry the relevance of our Center throughout 2018. Mind you, it is not all inclusive of all the activities and events executed by DKI APCSS this year, however, it illustrates clearly how much has been done and accomplished in such a short period.

Bali Process Cohort started a project on "Combatting and Addressing Maritime Migration in South and South East Asia." The project is an effort to build an information and intelligence-sharing platform to assist Bali Process member nations to increase interdiction of migrant vessels.
One of my main focus of effort for 2019 is to "invest first towards the betterment of our Center and People" as we continue to look outward supporting our key stakeholders to include Security Practitioners abroad. It's a simple approach that I borrow from the financial paradigm of "paying yourself first" but in a larger context of professional development and growth of my people so we can continue to foster a culture of trust, teamwork, ownership and pride. To this effect, I remain steadfastly committed to my team in always looking for ways to improve and help charter a course to ensure we maintain our relevance and value to the Security environment for years to come. Of particular importance to me is the professional development of our staff and faculty to include new arrivals in 2019 and beyond. We will continue to share with you how our Center is "unique" in helping build a cohesive network of Security Practitioners focused in sharing and collaborating to better understand this complex security environment to get to practical outcomes for a more stable and prosperous region. As we look toward 2019, the year promises to be dynamic as we create a more innovative Center that publishes a Center Strategy in conjunction with an Implementation Plan, introduces a Maritime Security Cooperation Course, and expands our use of Matrix gaming in other courses to name a few of what's new.
Center Strategy. The Center is taking a refresh look at our overall strategy that serves as the foundation upon which engagements/activities (what) and established processes (how) nest to maintain our relevancy for the next 10 to 15 years through our unique approach of educating, connecting, and empowering security practitioners. As Dr. Al Oehlers highlighted in the recent On-Site, the development of this Strategic Roadmap is just the first step of a continuous process of developing a plan, executing the plan, assessing our actions through critical measures of effectiveness and performance and then adjusting our strategy downstream to ensure we are continually heading in the right direction of maintaining the credibility and value we have earned today with many of our stakeholders.

The Oxford Illustrated History of the Renaissance - Oxford Illustrated History (Hardback)
Gordon Campbell (editor)
The Renaissance is one of the most celebrated periods in European history. But when did it begin? When did it end? And what did it include? Traditionally regarded as a revival of classical art and learning, centred upon fifteenth-century Italy, views of the Renaissance have changed considerably in recent decades. The glories of Florence and the art of Raphael and Michelangelo remain an important element of the Renaissance story, but they are now only a part of a much wider story which looks beyond an exclusive focus on high culture, beyond the Italian peninsula, and beyond the fifteenth century. The Oxford Illustrated History of the Renaissance tells the cultural history of this broader and longer Renaissance: from seminal figures such as Dante and Giotto in thirteenth-century Italy, to the waning of Spain's 'golden age' in the 1630s, and the closure of the English theatres in 1642, the date generally taken to mark the end of the English literary Renaissance. Geographically, the story ranges from Spanish America to Renaissance Europe's encounter with the Ottomans-and far beyond, to the more distant cultures of China and Japan. And thematically, under Gordon Campbell's expert editorial guidance, the volume covers the whole gamut of Renaissance civilization, with chapters on humanism and the classical tradition; war and the state; religion; art and architecture; the performing arts; literature; craft and technology; science and medicine; and travel and cultural exchange.
[This] is a book that will not disappoint. Like the others in the series it combines the best scholarship in the field with lavish illustrations and photographs in colour and black and white throughout the text. The production values are high and the images are delight. Whether readers are well-versed in the field of Renaissance studies or simply have a casual interest in this fascinating subject, they will find much to enjoy. Though the concepts discussed are far from simplistic, the tone is highly readable. This book will be a welcome addition to any library on the subject. * All About History *
Based on the latest historical research but aimed at the general reader, the Oxford "Illustrated's" have maintained a very high standard over the years. This volume, edited by the great Renaissance scholar, Gordon Campbell, certainly maintains the Oxford University Press reputation for excellence. * Ed Voves, Art Eyewitness *

The PITT Graphic range provides all creative artists with an extensive assortment of pencils and crayons in different grades of hardness for sketching, graphic design and shading work. The "green pencil from Faber", which was already being mentioned with approval by Van Gogh and Goethe, has now become part of everyday life. The 16 different grades of hardness range from a delicate grey hue to a deep graphite black, and offer artists a wide range of possibilities. The Graphite Pure leads are ideal for creating contrasts and shading extended areas. These pencils offer unparalleled possibilities for spontaneous expression, creating different effects based on the pressure applied and grade of hardness. The pencils are sharpened in the same way as a normal lead pencil. The graphite crayons are an ideal and very economical medium for working on very large sketches and areas.

It seems that in our fast paced world with the societal demands of having more and doing more all the time, quantity is often valued more then quality. For example, each day more and more "experts" emerge on various topics. What defines an expert? Some people feel it requires years of training and some feel a weekend is enough to gain the expertise necessary.
As I talk to my friends and colleagues on social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook, and those learning Internet marketing, it seems that we all feel pressured to produce enormous amounts of articles, blogs and endless amounts of videos and audio. Society says that more is always better. How do we balance quality and quantity?
WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT IN OUR LIVES?
The quantity and quality issue brings up the question, what is most important in our lives? To be truly happy and fulfilled, we must come from our deepest authentic self. Otherwise we reach the fame and fortune and still feel sad or lonely. Having said that, some people may be able to produce both quality and quantity; but the majority of us cannot.
It could almost be said that, as a culture, we have lost the ability to be patient in order to acquire the wisdom necessary to become an expert and deeply know something. This current era makes it easier to look successful. It only takes moments to put a website up.
There is even software whose main goal is to get SEO keywords - not content. People purchase these programs, plug in keywords, and wait for the program to generate multiple articles based on those keywords. There are students who find these articles and cite them in their papers, even though they have no meaty content. What happened to resources that are actually resourceful?
Although most of us are not destined to be famous, all of us, if we choose to take it on, can have great impact in the world.
How are you handling the quantity and quality issue in your work life?
Well, another good post. For myself, I''d say that I haven''t been handling it as well as I''d like. I feel like one of the essential things is to really try to stop yourself when you start feeling the overwhelm and just ask yourself a simple question: "Why?" If there''s not a clear, immediate, gut-based answer, then your ego''s probably running you ragged to distract you from from what your Spirit would really have you be doing.
I also feel that quality - particularly with social media/online marketing - is far more important than quantity. If you''re not posting 20 times a day, but what you ARE putting up really strikes a chord with readers, that will be what lingers in memory. I''ve come to see that there''s no way I can learn it ALL, learn it all RIGHT NOW, maintain my current client load, AND have a life.
So, I use a lot of the automation tools that are out there (particularly for Twitter), combined with both common sense and the beautiful assistance of my Spirit - working in tandem with your business plan - to help me better prioritize what I should be devoting my time to.
If we continue to be seduced into choosing to play the Rat Race game for More, Better, Now that you''re referring to, I don''t see much of an alternative than either having a heart attack, reaching our goals with no subsequent enjoyment, and a non-stop sprint to constantly avoiding the present for the sake of a future that is illusorily predictable in the first place.
To answer your question, since I am in private practice and relatively new to being on my own, I am not all that concerned with quantity. I would have to say my focus is on quality. I enjoy immensely what I do and believe my life is spiritually directed - so for me it is happening all in good time along with patient anticipation. When I am not working with clients, I use that time to read to expand my knowledge base in my chosen field. For me personally, quantity is all about numbers and measurements and since I do not experience life that way, I find it easier and more comfortable to deal with qualitative aspects of relating. I tend to feel more stress when I am trying "hit a number".
I''ll visit this site again to read your upcoming post! Excellent job done!
Cool site, I hadn''t come across www.drjenniferhoward.com earlier in my searches!
This is a inquiry for the webmaster/admin here at www.drjenniferhoward.com.
I would appreciate if a staff member here at www.drjenniferhoward.com could post it.
Well all I can say is, wow. This is an impressive collection of resources, thank you for taking the time to put everything together.
