I've recently discovered that life surprises you sometimes. I've never met anyone whose life has gone exactly to plan. I've never had anyone tell me "Yep, my life has been as average as anyone's, and as predictable as a fairy tale."
Our lives twist and turn. They begin, and then, sometimes very abruptly, they end. They may seem to stand still for years at a time and then, all of a sudden, turmoil strikes. Injury. Cancer. Death. Floods. Earthquakes. Unemployment. Bankruptcy. Divorce. Sometimes, though, it just gets interesting. Graduation. Marriage. School. Job offers. Birth. Moving.
It's a giant story- one that is different for each of us. It will hold many different seasons, in many different places. I discovered that, today. I discovered that sometimes life hits you right in the chest and you go flying backwards, unable to figure out what's going on. It's hard to find your balance, and it's hard to make sense of it all, but one thing is for certain: God's holding me. Tightly.
He's my seat belt as the vehicle of my life is careening around corners, flying down gravel roads, and leaning precariously over the edge. He's the one driving, and I'm the one in the passenger seat. I get to look out the window and watch whatever He chooses to drive me by. That's my job. That's my position. But man, I am a backseat driver if there ever was one.
I like to push him out, and squeeze into that driver's seat. I prefer to steer. I focus on the road immediately ahead, making sure I get to every stop and take all the right paths. I have a single destination in mind, and I have faith that I can make it there. However, my timing, my sense of direction, and my driving skills just don't cut it. Along the way, I miss the important stops. I miss the big picture. I miss all the pit stops, the landmarks, the missions, and the opportunities for adventure that God had in mind for me, because I was on my own schedule. I may get to where I wanted to be... but it will disappoint when compared to the perfect trip God had planned for me. With me at the wheel, nothing could never add up to what God has in mind. He sees the big plan and, when He drives the car, the trip is worth every second.
I'm not sure what He's planning for me, but right now, things are a whirlwind. I've been struck with a sense of obligation, and have been starting to understand how short life is. We're here, there, everywhere... and then we're gone. Seeing how fast my family can be called somewhere else- seeing how suddenly I may have to live on my own... it scares me. What else could happen in just the blink of an eye?
I want to know what my job is right here, and right now. In the little jobs, in the little things- I want to know what God expects of me as a student. Teacher. Employee. Friend. Sister. Daughter. Leader. Writer. Dancer. Musician. What is my place? What is my job? In this tiny town, in this tiny school- what is my purpose? Life can change quicker than we'd like to think... and I don't want to miss my opportunity to fulfill my purpose. Who knows when God will decide it's time for me to get back in the car, so that He can drive me away somewhere else? Bible school, college, university, missions trips, a new home, a new job... my time is limited. I'm trying to go with His flow, but I don't know His thoughts. I don't know His timing. So while I'm here, I will not waste my time.
Whatever season of life you are in right now, look around. Instead of focusing on what's up ahead, look on your passenger window. God took you this way for a reason. He has something to show you. He has some stops he wants you to make. He has a plan. An idea. A story. Your story. His story. He's writing it, and you're living it.
Check out what on earth He could be calling you to right at this second. Sending an encouraging email? Phoning up someone who's going through a hard time? Be attentive to His desires for you. They are beautiful, and worth giving every thing you've got. Look out the window and just enjoy. Be watching for those moments that God is driving you by. He's doing it on purpose. Nothing you see is an accident. Allow God to control the vehicle. Let HIM be the one to guide your path. Don't stress about it- He's got it! So go along for the ride, and allow Him to turn your life into an extraordinary adventure!
If the captain of the universe is driving your vehicle, you have no need to fear crashing. So sit back, keep your eyes open, and watch as He shows you His marvelous plans for your life. Whatever He asks you to do, remember that He's driving the car. It's your turn to trust. Obey. And be amazed.
Someday, our cars will stop for good. It may end in a crash. It may end when you run out of gas. Either way, will it come to an end with you saying, "Wait, when's the exciting part? Isn't there something I'm supposed to do?" Or will it end with you saying "Wow! What a ride!"
who is greater than you, with plans that top yours by FAR. So while you're here, in this time, in this season, at this place, why don't you learn to dance? Why don't you sing? Why don't you clap, shout, and praise? Why don't you look around and realize that this is just a pit stop on the long journey home. While you're here, put your back into it! Show some love, and get some back. Take a few risks, learn some new things.
With Jesus at the wheel, you can be sure your life will be one long joyride.


Following on from the outstanding A-Level successes last week, we have been delighted with the GCSE results achieved by our students at Prince Henry's High School.
This is the second year of GCSE reform with the introduction of numeric grades (9-1, with 9 being the top grade) being published alongside legacy GCSE grades (A*-G). To help parents understand the equivalencies, a numeric 4 is considered to be a standard pass (equivalent to a grade C), a numeric 5 is a good or strong pass (C-B grade), a 6 is the equivalent of a high B grade while numeric 7-9 grades equate to the legacy A-A* grades.
The overall results for 2018 have once again been outstanding. Congratulations to our top performer, Daniel Hains, who achieved 8 numeric grade 9's and two numeric 8 grades.
Impressively, in addition to the pupils already mentioned, 66 pupils (nearly one quarter of the cohort) gained 5 or more 7-9 numeric grades. We are also delighted that many of our students worked extremely hard to achieve their target grades with 99% achieving 5 numeric grades (grades 9-1).
The results across many of the benchmarks are closely matching those of last year which was a record breaking year for the school. 71% of the cohort achieved 5 A*-C grades (including standard passes in Maths and English) and 60% of all the numeric grades were strong passes (grade 5+). A third of our students achieved the English Baccalaureate and nearly three quarters of our students achieved standard passes (numeric grade 4 and above) in both English and Maths with 53% obtaining strong passes (numeric 5 and above) in both English and Maths.

Sensitive Feminine World Healing
Heart-Based Leadership
Women Mobilize to Heal the World
by Linda Sechrist
The Heart to Lead: Women as Allies for the Greater Good, a documentary film directed and produced by Cheryl Gould, explores the emerging paradigm of heart-based feminine leadership and how it is attuning women to their inner strengths, beliefs, each another and our Earth. "Women's deeper unity of being is empowering them to take action and lead. Women used to long for a culture that would reflect their highest priorities; they are now creating one in which they support each other and make a difference," says Gould.
She notes that for centuries, innumerable women have led and served as change agents. "Unfortunately, the majority of them never made it into the headlines or history books. A prime example—few individuals knew that 12 women ran for president before Hillary Clinton."
In a recent Yes! magazine article, Rucha Chitnis reports that women are rising up to push back against growing corporate power, land grabs, economic injustice, climate change and more. Women's groups and networks offer a paradigm shift, she concludes, exposing links between unbridled capitalism, violence, the erosion of human rights and destruction of the Earth.
A woman's of leadership in America's corporate boardrooms, activist-led movements or state and federal government may not be plainly evident. Feminine wisdom's emerging solutions are compassionate, collaborative and consensus building, and pursue universalistic outcomes and group cooperation. They contrast with conventional competitive strategies and solutions, according to the Legislative Effectiveness of Women study at Vanderbilt University's Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, in Nashville.
Jean Shinoda Bolen, a medical doctor, Jungian analyst and author of Artemis: The Indomitable Spirit in Everywoman, has been advocating since 2002 for a United Nations Fifth World Conference on Women (5WCW). "Empowered and equal women are the key to peace and sustainability. We need to rise up together and fulfill the Dalai Lama's words at the Vancouver Peace Summit: 'It will be up to Western women to bring about peace.'"
Bolen's 5WCW vision joins millennial women worldwide now entering their era of activism with the feminist movement spearheaded by a boomer generation of women that's forwarded the equality and empowerment of women this far. To this end, she marched in Washington, D.C., on January 21 in the Million Women's March that globally attracted 5 million participants. "To make human rights women's rights, we need a united global women's movement," she states.
Sande Hart, chief compassion officer of the nonprofit Compassionate California and president of the women's global interfaith organization SARAH, participated in the Los Angeles Women's March with 750,000 others. "There's a sense that we've had enough. We're not angry. We are morally outraged and seeking peaceful solutions wrapped in compassion and based in justice for all. In nearly 15 years of women's community building, I'm convinced that healing our communities with resilience and a regenerative spirit is our biological and innate imperative. I see women emerging in unprecedented ways to make this happen," says Hart.
The Rising Women Rising World organization provides tools and training to help women and men develop feminine wisdom and the qualities of potent compassion, deep listening, intuition and inclusivity. Hazel Henderson, an evolutionary economist, host of the Ethical Markets online TV show and author of The Love Economy, mentors for the group staff. She contends that to shape a future for the good of all, we must bring into balance masculine and the feminine energies and learn to value the long-marginalized qualities of feminine wisdom.
Henderson's Love Economy paradigm reflects the sharing and caring sector not presently reflected in the nation's gross domestic product. "Women's unpaid work—raising children, taking care of households, serving on school boards, volunteering, caring for aging parents, etc.—constitutes 50 percent of all production in the U.S. and 70 percent of that in developing countries. This unvalued economic sector underlies and supports the public and private parts of the entire economy," advises Henderson, who observes that competition cannot be the sole basis for an economy with any expectation of quality of life on a small planet.
In her film, As She Is, producer and director Megan McFeely captures her own journey to understand the collective potential of the feminine and how to live true to its innate knowing. She queries: "Can you imagine what might happen if women here and around the world rose up together and used our power of longing to heal the Earth?"

Rocket Lab to recover booster on launch next month
It will be the third booster recovery for the California-based company.

Rocket Lab will take another step toward booster reusability next month, if all goes according to plan.
Rocket Lab intends to recover the first stage of an Electron launcher during its next mission, which is scheduled to lift off from New Zealand during a two-week window that opens on Nov. 11, representatives of the California-based company announced on Tuesday (Oct. 19).
The two-stage Electron will loft two Earth-observation satellites for the company BlackSky on the coming flight, which Rocket Lab calls "Love at First Insight." As Electron's upper stage is powering its way to orbit, the first stage will come down for a parachute-aided splashdown in the Pacific Ocean, about 200 miles (320 kilometers) offshore. Rocket Lab will then haul the hardware back to terra firma for inspection, gathering data that will inform Electron's transition to a partially reusable rocket.

Rocket Lab has performed two such recoveries to date — on the "Return to Sender" mission in November 2020 and "Running Out of Toes" in May 2021. ("Running Out of Toes," which aimed to deliver two BlackSky spacecraft to orbit, failed after an anomaly occurred in Electron's upper stage engine igniter system. The satellites were lost, but the first stage came back for a successful splashdown.)
A helicopter will track the booster during its descent on "Love at First Insight," something that didn't happen during the first two recoveries. Rocket Lab aims to eventually snatch falling first stages out of the sky using a chopper, and "Love at First Insight" will help refine the strategy for doing so, company representatives said.
"We've perfected Electron's controlled descent, demonstrated flawless parachute deployment, and successfully plucked stages from the ocean. Now we're gearing up for the next stage — preparing to use a helicopter to catch a rocket as it descends to Earth from space," Rocket Lab founder and CEO Peter Beck said in a statement (opens in new tab).
"It's ambitious, but with each recovery mission, we've iterated and refined the hardware and processes to make the impossible ordinary," Beck said. "I'm excited to take what we learn from this launch and put it into practice with aerial capture missions in future."

"Love at First Insight" also features an improved first-stage heat shield and an advanced parachute, which will be deployed at a higher altitude than on previous recovery missions, Rocket Lab representatives said.
The 59-foot-tall (18 meters) Electron gives small satellites dedicated rides to orbit. Making the rocket's first stage reusable will reduce costs for Rocket Lab and its customers and allow the company to ramp up its launch rate significantly, Beck has said.

BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, GOT THE TEE-SHIRT!
There's a new, free resource for sage business advice that's fun, entertaining, contemporary, and informative. It's Ken Rutkowski's Business Rockstars radio talk show.
When we were in LA last week, Ken invited us on his show. We shared some of our own experiences with folks who want to be business rock stars. As "entrepreneurial cheerleaders," we loved the opportunity to encourage new entrepreneurs and hopefully save them the pain of learning the lessons we learned sometimes the hard way.
Ken is a great host with his own impressive background in media, tech and entrepreneurialism. His goal is to encourage the start of new ventures and connect them with some of the top names in business. His interviews with CEOs and entrepreneurs provide listeners with valuable insights and first-hand knowledge about networking, marketing and financing.
Somewhere between a reality show and a game show, Ken and his guests have fun debunking myths and recounting actual business experiences. He challenges callers to present their new business idea in a quick, succinct, and compelling pitch. The idea is to get the business guest to say "cool" after hearing the pitch. He calls it "15 Seconds – Pitch to Cool." It's quit a challenge, even for us!
In a world where most talk shows seem to pander to sensation and opinion, "Business Rockstars" is a positive, constructive and inspirational stand out. Together with his co-founders and producers, Steve Lehman and Thomas Hale, Ken is poised to take the show to national syndication. At a time when every business publication from Forbes to Inc. and Entrepreneur to Fast Company is calling for more start-ups to help the economy, and at a time when many college grads are finding that sometimes the only source of employment is self-employment, this concept is a natural winner!
We wondered why we hadn't heard of it before. Then we found out it's only been on the air since June 18th 2012. Right now you can hear it on the radio in Southern California from 2PM to 4PM weekdays on KFWB News Talk Radio 980AM or get it streamed on the web. Ken also offers an extensive archive of past business guests who have shared their impressive, real world experiences in the various areas any new business will face. What a great resource to have for free!

The Cunninghamhead Estate is in the 21st century mainly a residential caravan park with two private residences near Irvine, Scotland. It was once a private estate, owned by a sequence of recorded families since around 1418. The Mansion House, one of Britain's lost houses, was built in 1747; it was destroyed by fire in the early 1960s, whilst renovation work was being carried out. The old mansion and castle have been lost, however the stables are still a residence, whilst the Gardner's Cottage survive as ruins. From 1964, work was carried out, first to use the estate as a chicken farm and later as holiday and residential, caravan park and camping site, making most of the rural location. Circa 2003 the site was significantly redeveloped to become a residential caravan park exclusively for the use of retired and semi-retired persons.
The previous name of the area was Woodhead, the name change to Cunninghamhead taking place before 1418; a charter dated 1346 from King David II to Godfrey de Ross refers to him as being 'of Coyninghamheid'.[1] Cunninghamhead came into the Cuninghame family in the early 15th century when Robert married the Douglas heiress of that estate. From that time on, the head of the family was known as the Laird of Cunninghamhead.[2] Gordon's map of 1654 shows 'Cuningham Head' and 'Rungham' is marked on Moll's 1745 map. Cunninghamhead Castle was a square tower, referred to as a "strong old donjon" by Pont and demolished by John Snodgrass in 1747 when a mansion house was built.[3] The original meaning of the term 'donjon' referred to the mound or motte, not the dungeons.[4] The estate had cost John Snodgrass Buchanan the sum of £23,309 and 2d Scots when he purchased them on 23 January 1728.[5]
At the time of its construction Cunninghamhead House was held to be amongst the most elegant in the country, however by Robertson's[6] time (1823) it had been altered and had lost much of its previous elegance. William Aitons's Ayrshire map of 1811 shows the new mansion and the ruins of the castle behind.
The Cunninghame family held these lands for several centuries before the Snodgrass family purchased them. In 1823 the Buchanans of Craigievairn held the estate; Mr. Snodgrass Buchanan was the owner in 1838. The Kerr's followed them in turn[3] and the 1951 Statistical Account records the Misses Kerr as owning the estate. Middleton had been part of the estate. In around 1564 the name is given as 'Cunnygahamehead' and the laird also held Powkellie, now Pokelly, near Stewarton.[7]

Cunninghamhead Moss was still referred to as Kinnicumheid Moss in the 18th century; an Ayrshire legend stating that the warlock Laird of Auchenskeith, near Dalry, set the Devil to build a road across Kinnicumhead Moss in a single night.[8] This links to the original pronunciation of Cunninghame being closer to 'Kinikam'.
Sir William and Sir John Cunninghame
Of the many generations of the Cunninghame family who lived at Cunninghamehead, Sir William and his brother Sir John are recorded as pre-eminent. Sir William was present in the Great Parliament of 1560 and as a great supporter of John Knox's reforms which saw the "end of popery" in Scotland as the de facto state religion. Sir John was a member of the General Assembly in 1565 which was "so obnoxious to the those of the old religion at that time".[3][6]
The Highland Hosts
William Aiton's map of 1811.
In the 1640s Alasdair Mac Colla had been sent by Montrose to suppress support for the Covenanting cause. He plundered the Ayrshire countryside for some days and then demanded financial penalties. Sir William Cunningham's penalty for Cunninghamhead was 1,200 merks; £10,000 worth of damage already having been done.[9]
A Covenanters Conventicle.[10]
The second 'Highland Host' episode, consisting mainly of Catholic Highlanders, was brought into Ayrshire in 1678 by the Crown Authorities to prevent the conventicles or public meetings held by the Presbyterians. At Cunninghamhead, occupied at this time by Sir William Cunninghame, Highlanders lived at 'heck and manger' for a month; what meal was in the granary they could not eat, they destroyed; they used fire to open lockfast places; and the Colonel of the troop threatened a farmer upon whom he had quartered himself that, if he did not hand over his money, he would hang him in his own barn.[11]
Robertson relates that "They took free quarters; they robbed people on the high road; they knocked down and wounded those who complained; they stole, and wantonly destroyed, cattle; they subjected people to the torture of fire to discover to them where their money was hidden; they threatened to burn down houses if their demands were not at once complied with; besides free quarters they demanded money every day; they compelled even poor families to buy brandy and tobacco for them; they cut and wounded people from sheer devilment." The cost of all this amounted to £1,505 17s 0d. in Dreghorn and Pearceton (Sic) parish alone.[12]
The Cuninghames of Towerland
On 19 December of the same year (1600), William Cuninghame of Towerlands (near Bourtreehill) was tried on a charge of treason, his brother, Alexander, with a party of hired soldiers, had taken violent possession of the house of Cuninghamehead, in March, 1600. The King had issued written instructions for them to leave the premises however they took up arms against the King's commissioners, upon whom they fired hagbuts. Cuninghame of Towerlands was found guilty, having assisted his brother, condemned to be beheaded at the market-cross of Edinburgh; and all his lands and goods were at the same time forfeited.[13]
The residence of the Snodgrass family
John Snodgrass acquired the estate in 1728 and in 1747 pulled down the old tower-house and constructed the mansion. Neil Snodgrass built the stables and extended or rebuilt the mansion house.[14] Neil Snodgrass in 1755 had been bound as apprentice to study law, however he had his sight much injured by smallpox and was compelled to return to the country and devote himself to country pursuits. He became a great friend of Alexander, Earl of Eglinton and joined him in his pursuit of practical improvements in agriculture, such as crop rotations and fallow years. In 1773 he married Marian, daughter of James McNeil Esq. of Kilmorie. They had six children.[6]
Memorial to the Kerr family at Dreghorn & Springside Parish church
Aiton complimented Mr. Snowgrass, actually Snodgrass, for his zeal in pursuing agricultural improvements in 1811, following the example set by the Earls of Eglinton and Loudoun amongst others.[15] The arms of the Snodgrass family were a figure of justice, suspending a balance; Motto, - Discite Justinian.The Lands of Cunninghamhead were valued at £330 in 1640. William Kerr Esq of Cunninghamhead was buried in Dreghorn Parish churchyard.
Mr and Miss Buchanan of Cunninghamhead attended the famous 1839 Eglinton Tournament in what is now Eglinton Country Park and were allotted a seat in the Grand Stand.[16]
The Kerr family
Hugh Kerr of Gatend Farm near Barrmill died on 9 August 1818 and his wife died on the 19th. Hugh had three of the sons, William, Robert and Hugh who emigrated to America and became very wealthy. William Kerr purchased Cuninghamehead, and resided here upon his retirement until his death in 1853. He was succeeded by an only child, Richard, who succeeded him.[17]
Mansion house
The dilapidated mansion house was purchased by a developer after the death of the Kerr sisters and the renovations were nearly complete when vandals broke in and the building was destroyed by fire. The fire was in the early 1960s and as the house was too badly damaged for restoration it was demolished.
By the 1960s the estate had become significantly run down, the main entrance road impassable even by foot. From 1964, works were carried to first use the estate as a chicken farm and later as a caravan park and camping site. From 2003 onwards significant redevelopment of the caravan park and camping site was carried out to create a residential caravan park exclusively for the retired and semi-retired.
The Wigwam Bar
In the 1980s a major addition was made to Cunninghamhead Estate in the form of a large building for the Wigwam Bar. The bar served the caravan site and also held various functions for the local young farmers. At the turn of the millennium the bar was converted into two holiday letting units.
The Cottage Orné
An unusual building of some antiquity stands as a substantial ruin beside the river Annick Water in the holm on the southern bank. A road through the woods connects the site to the stables and to the location of the old Mansion House. This building's remains are constructed of sizeable river boulders as foundations and well worked and carved freestone or sandstone ashlar blocks. It had a large window and door facing onto the holm, whilst the wall facing the river has largely collapsed and may have had two large windows. The door has been carefully blocked and the 'holm' facing window may have been made into an entrance.
The relatively small size of the structure may suggest a social purpose, such as a type of 'Summer House' or 'Cottage orné' from the early development of the estate, circa 1747. Its last occupant was a Mackay, who was a poet or writer. Charles Mackay was editor of the Glasgow Argus for four years from 1844; he returned to London and joined the Illustrated London News. Another more obscure Charles Mackay, an actor and writer, belongs to the early 18th. century.[18]

Aiton gives the following description of a building in the Eglinton Estate which may have inspired the construction of this summer house if this is what it is, saying that "Near to the gardens, in a remote corner, more than half encircled by the river, a remarkably handsome cottage has been reared, and furnished, under the direction of Lady Jean Montgomery, who has contrived to unite neatness and simplicity, with great taste, in the construction of this enchanting hut. That amiable lady, spends occasionally, some part of her leisure hours, about this delightful cottage: viewing the beauties, and contemplating the operations of nature, in the foliage of leaves, blowing of flowers, and maturation of fruits; with other rational entertainments, which her enlightened mind is capable of enjoying."Lady Jane Hamilton, the Earl's Aunt built or extended 'Lady Jane's Cottage' which lay beside the Lugton Water. She used this building to teach domestic economy to peasant girls. This may represent a later use of Lady Jane's cottage.[19]
The Gardener's Cottage
The Gardener's Cottage lies at the bottom of the road to the river. The building was of substantial size, having been extended at least once during its history. Following persistent vandalism, it was demolished in the mid-1980s.

A map of the area in 1897.
The main stable building, probably once also containing the estate offices, has an impressive frontage, and dates from 1820, the remainder may date from the 1740s. A number of small workers houses were located at the bottom of the courtyard, indicated by blocked up doors. At the front of the stables are three small columns to aid the mounting of horses by their riders. These Cunninghamhead mounting stones were placed by a previous owner and are not original.
A small doocot or dovecot was above the entrance arch until its removal by the current owner. This was a feature of many estates, as the right to build a doocot was originally strictly limited to the major landowners, and only later were small freeholders permitted to build them; at a more recent date tenants could sometimes gain permission from their landlord to build doocots for the meat or to add a picturesque feature to their properties.[20]
The stables had been actively marketed for a new owner from 2008, and in mid 2015 sold. Significant development plans have been submitted by the new owner.
Other estate structures
Ruins of other vernacular buildings, known as the 'Gardener's Cottage' are also to be found as total ruins in the woods off to the left hand side of the path leading down to the Annick Water from the estate. Quarry Holm, beside the old railway embankment between the estate and Annick Lodge, has the foundations of some old buildings, industrial in nature, which appear to have seen re-use before being abandoned. The railway line of 1843 cut off this site from the Annick Lodge area.
Sections of the deciduous woods on the northern side of the Annick Water from the old mansion house have a rich plant diversity, indicating that they are long established and not just plantations on previously cleared land. These woodlands contain plants such as Male Shield Fern, Lady Fern, Tuberous Comfrey, Tussock Grass, Bluebells, Dog's Mercury, Opposite-Leaved Golden Saxifrage, Woodrush, Sanicle, Enchanter's Nightshade and Wood Sorrel. Agrimony is another unusual find, growing in a riparian position on the Annick Water bank, together with wild mint, just upstream of the old railway viaduct.

McGolpin takes over volleyball program
Views 33 | Time to read: 2 minutes | Uploaded: 4 - 8 - 2019 | By: Brandon Jones
Earlier this spring, Ruth McGolpin was named the new head coach of the Westmont women's volleyball team. After spending four seasons as a Westmont assistant coach, she will be at the helm for the program's 47th season in the fall.
McGolpin is a Santa Barbara native, who starting coaching in SB after a prestigious college playing career at Northern Arizona University. When asked how she felt about becoming the head coach here at Westmont, she replied, "It feels great. Lots of work but I love it ... I love designing practices that emulate my personality. I love recruiting and the opportunity to showcase Westmont in emails, in person at high school club tournaments, and in person on campus is amazing.
McGolpin mentioned the new influx of coaches in the athletic department here as something special, saying, "The athletic office energy with so many new coaches is exciting and starting to feel like a second family for me."
Her players are just as excited to see her take on her new head coaching role. Two-time All-American Libby Dahlberg describes it as "a blessing to have Ruth take over the head coaching position." She adds how McGolpin is "extremely passionate towards the game of volleyball, is a fierce competitor ... and works tirelessly works to improve Westmont Volleyball."
Coach McGolpin describes her style of coaching philosophy as "teaching to the whole person and the whole skill, but then to break down the skills in detail to allow for steady improvement."
Sophomore Lauren Friis also commented on McGolpin's competitiveness as a strength in her coaching style. She says, "Her best qualities as a coach are her heart and grit for the game of volleyball, and she knows how to have fun!"
Coach McGolpin is ready to continue the high expectations for the volleyball program at Westmont, and her players are on-board. "I want to outwork teams and have the never-say -die attitude," said McGolpin. "I want to push the team and coaching staff out of our comfort zones, and be aggressive in our work ethic, skill, and game play."
Both Dahlberg and Friis, along with the rest of their teammates, have set their sights on winning a Golden State Athletic Conference championship and competing at the NAIA National Tournament. Friis, who is the team's Libero, says the goals of the team and coaches are "to bust our butts in and out of the gym to get ready for next season, win GSAC, and go clinch that 2019 national title!"
The Westmont women's volleyball team, under the direction of Coach McGolpin, will look to continue its winning ways (97-13 in the past three seasons) when the new season begins in the fall.

China's Chip Industry Will Weather Economic Downturn
By Sumner Lemon
IDG News Service |
China's contract chip makers, battered by a sharp downturn in demand for semiconductors, will survive the recession and become increasingly competitive over time, according to an Accenture executive.
"There is still some reduction in total orders and cleaning out of capacity commitments but, at least from what I've heard from my clients, overall they do see that stabilization beginning and I think you will see that China is still a play," said Scott Grant, global semiconductor lead at Accenture and author of a recent study on how chip makers should adapt their operations to survive the recession.
Contract chip makers, known as foundries, produce chips under contract for companies that design and sell chips but don't own the multi-billion-dollar plants needed to make them.
In recent years, Chinese foundries like Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. (SMIC) carved out a niche for themselves providing access to second- and third-generation chip technologies instead of the cutting-edge technologies offered by larger rivals, such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC).
Generous government support helped Chinese chip makers survive and expand their manufacturing capacity in recent years, despite posting heavy financial losses.
The financial downturn has made the financial pressures worse. SMIC, China's largest chip maker, saw its first-quarter revenue fall by 50 percent. Its gross margin during the period was -88.3 percent, which means every US$1 of products that it sold cost $1.88 to produce, excluding other costs such as sales, general administration and R&D expenses. This was the eighth consecutive quarter that SMIC posted a loss.
"On the foundries, margins have always been challenging. It's compounded now as the demand signal is unclear, so there's not a good read as to what they can do with their total capacity," Grant said, adding that the current margin and cost pressure these companies face are a concern.
As demand stabilizes and Chinese chip makers gain more visibility into future demand patterns, they will be able to manage their costs and capacity allocation better, he said. But it remains to be seen whether or not China's chip industry will see the level of investment in new plants that has been seen in recent years.
"Will there be as much investment in new capacity in China? I'm not certain, but I think you'll see the continued maturing of their foundry and assembly-test facilities and they'll become considerably competitive," Grant said.

I don't know whether or not the final episode was shorter, or if the puzzles were just more obvious, but it didn't seem to take me very long to save Hell (and by extension, the world). A very Soda Poppers (sorry, %$&* Poppers) heavy episode, but that was OK given the outcome. Is that spoilers?
I might give Sam and Max a bit of a break now though, until the next series is found cheap somewhere!

Strengths Training
Flag Star Football Foundation
The Flag Star Football Foundation
Welcome to the Flag Star Football Foundation. Or, at least, to our website.
Our real home is on a field. Or in a weight room. Or huddled up with our various teams and working towards a central goal.
It's in those moments -- practicing great leadership, working towards a goal, pulling together with our teammates -- where we believe the change happens. And it's where our team is at their best. The Flag Star Football Foundation was formed so everyone can have those positive, productive, team experiences.
The Foundation itself works across a number of different programs. We run various leagues, after-school programs and carefully-targeted (and cultivated!) leadership development groups. The commonalities amongst all these programs are an emphasis on Team. Progress. Leadership.
Most importantly, the commonalities behind these programs is our leadership staff. Coaching is everything. As Julius Campbell said in "Remember the Titans" (our undisputed-greatest-football-movie-of-all-time), "Attitude reflects leadership!"
The effectiveness of our programs also reflect leadership. We're only as good as the role models we put in front of our kids. Much of the impetus for the Foundation's work came from having the most positive, compassionate team of coaches on earth. And the realization that -- with that leadership -- we could do a whole lot of good. The Foundation's primary work is finding environments where we can place those role models in front of kids who might not usually have them.
That journey continues to grow and learn and evolve. We do so with a commitment to our core values, beliefs and our best guess as to where and how our communities need love and help and support. And football.
Thanks for being a part of this journey. Whether you're a donor, partner, coach or scholarship recipient, we appreciate having you on our team.
positive, productive playing environments
There's an old saying along the lines of, "We shape our own environments. And our environment returns the favor." We believe sports -- and our general development -- work a lot like that.
For any of this learning, playing, growth to happen, we put a huge emphasis on creating a positive, inclusive environment where everyone has clear roles. We ask our leaders to lead, our players to play and everyone to work as a team.
total inclusion
Everyone benefits from great role models. Everyone responds well to positivity. Everyone grows when taught and encouraged and pushed in the right direction.
Our job is to make these experiences available to everyone. Whether that's inclusion in an existing league or a program tailored to the needs of a given school or community group -- we're working to make these developmental, team opportunities available to everyone.
We could talk about this until the cows come home. Because what we really need to move our nation forward is a shared set of values and a team of leaders to advance them.
Nothing great happens without great leadership. The leadership development process looks different for everyone, but the goal is the same: keep moving forward. Our leadership goals vary by age, but a general evolution looks like this:
Embodying Core Values: Effort, teamwork, enthusiasm, humility, commitment, embracing adversity.
Encouraging and Supporting Others: Not only embodying our values, but encouraging and empowering others to do the same.
Full-Blown Leadership: Creating an environment where we discuss and share and embody the values we'd like to see in others.
The Next-Level Leader: Someone who can not only create a productive team environment, but train and mentor other future leaders to do the same.
gOVERNANCE AND PROFESSIONALISM
This is, and always will be, a major focus for us as a 501c3. Although it's not a journey we're going about alone. We're backed by a board of thoughtful, compassionate professionals who share our mission and hold us to it.
For all of our "play," we take operations and governance seriously. We live in a world of scarce resources. Whether it's our coach's time, the kids' attention or funding for scholarships, we know there's an opportunity cost to everything. We're looking to make the most of everything we have.
Along those lines, it's important to note: many of the Foundation's programs have a similar cast of coaches, leaders and mentors as Flag Star Football's general operation (as an LLC). These two are not the same. The Flag Star Football Foundation is governed independently. We answer to a board, we file separate taxes.
There are (many) instances where we leverage Flag Star Football's platform to achieve the mission of this foundation, but only in ways that work to the foundation's benefit. No group, affiliate or LLC would ever explicitly profit from working with our foundation. All of our resources go directly towards our 501c3 mission.

Wilkinson plc are a firm of chandelier manufacturers and repairers based in Kent.

History
The firm started as F. Wilkinson & Company in Stourbridge, where from 1922 to 1927 Frank Wilkinson (1897-1927) was the first to commercialise the acid method of glass polishing to replace polishing of cut-glass by hand. In addition, his brother Reginald Wilkinson (died 1986), developed the carborundum wheel method of cutting to replace the steel and sand method after he bought discarded worn carborundum wheels from a local bevelling firm. The new method reduced breakages and made more sophisticated shapes such as scalloped tops commercially viable.

The firm enjoys a royal warrant from Queen Elizabeth II.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Shohei Ohtani could have shut it down already. He could have wrapped up his singular rookie season with the Los Angeles Angels and proceeded straight to the Tommy John surgery looming for him next week.
Instead, Ohtani is still slugging away in the eighth inning of a sparsely attended night game in the final days of September between two teams that won't get anywhere near the playoffs this year.
He is facing Texas' Chris Martin, his teammate last season in Japan. Ohtani pounces on a pitch up in the zone and drives it the opposite way, flashing the all-fields power that still stuns.
His shoot hits the top of the left field wall and bounds into the bullpen. The tiebreaking homer is his 22nd of the year, matching his best pro total with the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters.
"You've seen him get progressively better as the season has gone on," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "This experience is invaluable to him — to be able to finish strong, see as much pitching as he can, log it and be ready for next year to swing the bat."
Ohtani's patient, almost ascetic approach to baseball has been evident ever since he agreed to join the Angels last winter. In doing so, he passed up untold millions that he could have made by waiting a couple of years in Japan, instead hurrying stateside to begin the long process of mastering the big leagues as a pitcher and a hitter.
So it was no surprise to his teammates and coaches when he decided to keep hitting until October, even after he realized his pitching elbow would require surgery . It's also no surprise that he plans to hit throughout next season without giving up on his long-term plan to be a two-way player.
The 24-year-old is focused on the long view, but every small step along the path is vital.
"I think the way I finish the season is really important to me, whether it's good or bad," Ohtani said. "Because I know what to work on during the offseason. This time I was able to finish strong, so it was a really good feeling."
Ohtani heads into the Angels' final three games of 2018 batting .283 with 22 homers, 59 RBIs and a .930 OPS in just 355 plate appearances. Before he felt pain in his pitching elbow in early June, he had 63 strikeouts and a 3.31 ERA in just 10 starts of tantalizing quality.
Despite the arm injury that ended his pitching efforts and kept him from batting for most of June, Ohtani is a top contender for the AL Rookie of the Year award. Voters must evaluate Ohtani's unique talents next to the more conventional hitting prowess of Yankees sluggers Miguel Andujar and Gleyber Torres.
Andujar is the name most commonly thrown in the rookie of the year debate alongside Ohtani. The Yanks third baseman has blossomed into a star as a 23-year-old, hitting 27 dingers to go along with 90 RBI and a .296 batting average.
Ohtani's persistence has proven to be one of his greatest strengths — and that isn't always the case with athletes of his prodigious gifts.
When he took a two-month break from pitching, he struggled at the plate to start July — but then batted .328 in August with six homers and 18 RBIs. After his return to the mound in early September went poorly and left him facing the inevitability of Tommy John, Ohtani improbably racked up four homers and 10 RBIs in his first four games back at the plate.
The Angels attribute that resilience to Ohtani's mental toughness, which is a key complement to his unique skills.
"He's got a great makeup," Scioscia said. "I think he understands the separation of pitching and hitting. He's able to take that batting helmet off and put that pitcher's cap on and go pitch when he's going to pitch, and when he's hitting, he's focused on hitting. He just wants to play baseball, whatever he can do. So I know he's looking forward to pitching, but I think it's an easy sideways step for him to become just a hitter. He just loves to play the game."
Away from the field, Ohtani appears to be settled smoothly in Orange County with his new club. While he doesn't speak in public without Ippei Mazuhara, his translator and constant companion at Angel Stadium, he clearly understands much more English than he did in April — and more Spanish, as evidenced in his spirited recent rendition of "Despacito" on the team bus.
Ohtani is finishing this season batting cleanup as the Angels' designated hitter, and he's likely to resume that role in 2019. While the Angels remain firmly committed to supporting Ohtani's two-way skills, everyone around the club is eager to see what Ohtani can accomplish while he's largely focused on just one side of his two-way game.
"The thing about Shohei is he's got the potential to do it all, and he's committed to getting there," Scioscia said. "It's not often you see that combination in a guy, and he's got it all."

Q: Building a bespoke PDF brochure via web form or CMS I'd like to set up a CMS that allows clients to generate a PDF brochure from a series of text inputs and text areas (rich text editor). Clients would fill out text inputs and then select (via a check box) which contents should appear in the exported PDF. This would then stitch together a PDF brochure containing pages only applicable to the options chosen by the client.
All the content is in a CMS with web pages and pdfs built on the fly as per the client's choices. A change in the content is then reflected immediately in the published docs meaning no redundant, out of date pdfs and the benefit of all the tools within the CMS (workflow, publishing dates, security, etc).
Does anyone know of any tools that do this?
Appreciate any help.

A: well your question require a lot of work to be done. I had similar requirement and what i have  done i can brief here. I created multiple views which lets me select their columns and i have used my own rules for differentiating columns from test like {view.columnname}. when your save all information i have used itextsharp for pdf generation.
There is plenty of information on itextsharp.

A: You might be able to do this with design tools and reporting software, plugged into your CMS of choice. For example, you could use Wordpress, and then design your PDF output using iReport, and run it with Jasper. You'd have to work on the bit to translate user inputs to a query passed to the report, but that shouldn't be too much work.

A: One issue is that, regardless of the work you put into the design, when you attempt to share it, it wont look like a brochure at all, only sequential single page PDFs. As an alternative I found a website where you can upload or design your brochure, it can then be downloaded and shared as a flippable, digital brochure.

Sixty thousand handsets per day are shipping with Android.
That's the astonishing figure revealed by Google CEO Eric Schmidt, who hailed the ecosystem around Android as well as the strength of the Open Handset Alliance during his 45-minute Congress keynote this evening.
"It's our time to be proud of what we have built together," added Schmidt. "It's our goal to make mobile the answer to pretty much everything." He then spoke about how Google was very much a "mobile first" company.
Senior Product Manager for Android, Erick Tseng, got up on stage to demo Flash on Android, showing us a New York Times image ("all the components are there" – a slight at Apple's iPad launch). The handset was running full-fat Flash 10.1.
Tseng also talked about how smartphones had been crucial to the fundraising efforts in Haiti and pulled up fresh satellite footage taken after the earthquake.
We also had a translation demo as well as a mashup of translation and the recently-launched Google Goggles, whereby an item in German on a menu was translated into English simply by taking a photo of it (on a Nexus One, of course).


Dear Shy: You're right; these kids aren't kidding. They're bullying and hiding behind the guise of joking, which makes them cruel and cowardly all at once.
I encourage you to jump in to say something the next time you see them picking on a classmate. I know it's not easy to stand up to mean popular kids -- but you, my friend, are braver than you realize. You've already stood up to these jokers on behalf of your friends, which is more than many of us ever manage to do. And I bet that after you stand up for another classmate once, you'll feel so good that it will be even easier to do it the next time. The bullies may try to retaliate against you at first, but stay strong. They're weak, and they'll eventually back down. And the classmates you defend? Rest assured that even if they don't manage to voice their gratitude, they'll remember you for a very long time.
You've got a heart of gold and a spine of steel, so kudos, kiddo. That's the stuff of greatness.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from "Mind Your Manners, Please," a woman who was incensed over a screaming child in public.
I offer this as a retort.
My wife and I have a child who is 3 years old and in the autism spectrum. He often has issues in certain situations that would be beyond any parent's control. There are times when there is no amount of consoling, bribing, holding or soft talking that can quiet my child in public.
Does this mean I shouldn't be allowed to take him school shopping? Maybe I should just not let my young son ever leave the house.
Maybe "Mind Your Manners, Please" should have some sympathy and understanding. Chances are the child she wrote about suffers from some mental challenges.
A screaming child harms no one. Judgmental adults, on the other hand, do, and they should be ashamed. That includes those mothers you surveyed who have no understanding of what it's like to have a child on the spectrum.
Dear RW: The mothers I surveyed defended the parents whose child was screaming in the supermarket, so there may be more empathetic people out there than you think. But I want to print your letter, as it offers a valuable perspective. When we feel ourselves rushing to judgment, we should really apply the brakes. Thanks for writing.
