Are you good in a crisis?
Life is full of crises. Most of them you probably are reacting to and are not the cause of; someone hits your car, a baby in the family gets really sick, a bomb blows up at the finish line of a marathon. Most of those things you cannot prevent. You just have to deal with them.
How do you handle it when you're confronted with a crisis? Now, you can freak out, scream, and run when you are faced with an emergency or you can react in a way that helps those around you through the situation too. We certainly saw both reactions at the Boston Marathon bombing.
My dad was exceptionally good in a crisis. He didn't lose his cool. He thought clearly and gave good direction or advice. He didn't let the emotion of the moment get him. He focused on the task at hand…getting through the crisis as best as possible. He was a U.S. Army officer and had successfully dealt with crises.
The best way to do that is to process the steps you should take during a crisis when you are not in one. Emergency personnel have a checklist memorized as what to do first, second and third when confronted with an emergency. You can do the same thing too.
Take time alone to think it out. When you have some type of physical crisis, like a car accident, what are the first 10 things you should do? Make a list before it happens, so that when it does you're ready. If you have an emotional crisis, like a close family member, you love very much, is going through some very difficult situation. What is the 5 things you want to do so you'll be able to think clearly and support them. What do you do in a spiritual crisis, like something has happened that you doubt God or your faith? Make a list. What do you do? …Pray, seek God's word to you in His Word, seek out trusted counselors etc.
I think Jesus was good in a crisis. During the torture before the cross and on the cross he was thinking about other people. He told John to physically care of Mary Jesus' mother. He stopped to minister to emotional women who were crying because of the brutality. He cared spiritually for his torturers, which was evident when He asked God, the Father, to forgive them because they didn't know what they were doing. Now obviously the cross was physically, emotionally and spiritually brutal, but Jesus had prepared as best as he could. I think the prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane was part of that preparation. So, during the crisis he was able to stay composed and focus on others.
How do you take time to prepare for life's crises? Please leave a comment and let us know.
This morning my daily devotions took me to Acts 7. I always have a hard time reading this chapter. I would prefer to skip over it. It is about the martyring of Stephen. He is executed for his faith in Jesus Christ. He was a great guy. He cared for and helped widows in need. He was also full of the Holy Spirit and had a faith admired by many. Reading chapter 7 always is a downer for me. It's hard to visualize his stoning for simply trusting Jesus as his Lord and Savior.
As I finished reading the chapter and was reminded about a story I heard and was disturbed about a couple of days ago. Sayad Mussa is an Afghan Red Cross worker who is to be executed because he has become a Christ-follower. He has been in jail for several months now. No lawyer will represent him for fear of reprisal of representing someone who converted from Islam. He has been raped in jail because of his faith. He only has one leg because he lost the other to a landmine explosion. You can read the New York Times article here.
I find it reprehensible, but not surprising, that American Christ-followers are dying in Afghanistan for the freedom of Muslims who would execute a Christ-follower for his faith.
Please, pray for the release of Sayad from prison. Pray for his wife and six children who fled to Pakistan under the threat of persecution. Also, please contact your Senator and House Representative and ask them to intervene on behalf of Sayad Mussa.
Every pastor I know wants to grow the church. Now they may say spiritually, but many are really just interested in numbers. That's how they measure success. Church people think the same way. I got a call yesterday from a person that I met a few years ago. He just called out of the blue and asked if our church was growing. Let me be clear, I want many people to come to Christ. I want heaven full. But, Jesus commanded us to make disciples. The discipleship process is what's important.
I recently read, Nick Saban's book, How good do you want to be?. One of the things he said was to not look at the scoreboard, but concentrate on what you were supposed to do. If you think about that it makes sense. If we do what we're supposed to do the numbers will take care of themselves.
So let's be busy about the process of making disciples. It starts with you becoming a disciple and then helping others come to faith in Christ and grow in that faith. Let's focus on our part, being and making disciples, and let God take care of His part, the scoreboard.
I watched this video this morning. It shows kids who took part in the marshmallow test. They were put alone in a room with one marshmallow on a plate in front of them. They were told that if they waited for the tester to return without eating the marshmallow they would get another one. Some waited and got two. Some didn't and settled for one.
God is like that. Sometimes if we will wait he'll give us the better option than if we just take what is in front of us. I'm a church planter. I started a church in Miami a little over 7 years ago. My ego has always been my battle in this church planting thing. I've battled with God. I've wanted a growing (in numbers) church and that simply hasn't happened. It is not because we haven't been reaching out to people who are far from God, because we have.
I have learned the hard way that this is God's church not mine. If it grows numerically, it's because he grows the church. If it declines and we're doing what we're supposed to do then I must put that in his hands. He has other plans and other things to teach me and us. I just know that he is in control and he wants what is best for his church. I could settle for the one marshmallow, but that's not his best. So I'll persevere and wait on him for his best.
I told my kids as they were growing up not to settle for second best when searching for a spouse but to wait for God's best. The same lesson applies to our church. We must not settle for one marshmallow but for two. He's growing our church the way he wants to. I must trust him in that. He's got something great in store for us.
What about you? Are you settling for one marshmallow or waiting for his best? I encourage you to persevere. His best is coming. Trust God who is sovereign. He knows what he's doing in your life. Be patient. Endure.
I'm reading a historical fiction book right now called, "To Try Men's Souls." I've read a lot of history books; mostly military history. I have enjoyed reading about the Revolutionary War and WW II. I've focused my historical reading in those two time periods. I'm not much of a fiction reader nor historical fiction. But, I wanted to lighten my load and get lost in a fiction book, so downloaded this book into my (soon to be defunct) Kindle.
What the author paints so vividly is the utter desperation of the Continental Army by December 1776. You recall the Declaration of Independence was signed in July of that year. Then the Continental Army suffered a series of defeats and setbacks where they ended up being pushed south into Pennsylvania. They were so poorly supplied by the Continental Congress that many men had no shoes and some had, no kidding, not a stitch of clothing and it was the dead of winter. I've been cold before, but not THAT cold.
In the midst of desperation, Washington boldly acted. He crossed the Delaware River in a horrible winter storm at night and defeated the Hessians in Trenton, N.J. on Dec 26, 1776 with a ragtag Army that endured to victory. They had every right to give up (many of them did and fled). But those that held on and fought the good fight were victorious.
That brings me to Paul's words, "endure," "fight the good fight of the faith." Our sheltered Christianity in the U.S. can't really grasp what this meant to it's hearers. Timothy was pastoring a church suffering persecution. We probably don't get it. But, in the intensity of it all Paul encourages Tim to endure and fight.
I don't know what you're going through right now. But, as a good soldier of Christ, you have to endure and fight the good fight of faith. Don't give up. You may have had set backs. You may be suffering greatly, but don't give up.
1 Timothy 6:12-13a (NIV) 12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 13 In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I charge you.
Take hold of this incredible life that God has for you. Fulfill the purpose He has for you. Don't give up. 2 Timothy 2:3 (NIV) 3 Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. Just like the Continental Army had to focus on the prize, freedom, you too focus on the prize; a full eternal life in Christ. You can trust him to get you through whatever difficulty you experience.
Paul said, 2 Timothy 1:12 (NIV) 12 That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day.
Hold on. Endure! He will get you through this. He is faithful. You will experience victory in your life!

The Federal Art Project, Photographic Division collection dates from circa 1920-1965, with the bulk of the records spanning the active years of the Federal Art Project (FAP), 1935-1942. The collection comprises 12.4 linear feet of mostly photographic prints and negatives that document primarily artwork produced by artists employed by the FAP. A smaller number of photographs also document other programs of the FAP, such as art classes and community centers, exhibitions by children and adults, artwork installed in public buildings, project divisions, and demonstrations of art processes by FAP artists.
Scope and Content Note:
The Federal Art Project (FAP), Photographic Division collection dates from circa 1920-1965, with the bulk of the records spanning the active years of the FAP: 1935-1942. The collection comprises 12.4 linear feet of photographic prints and negatives, including photos of FAP artists and the artwork created by them, and other activities of the FAP in communities throughout New York City and other states. Photographers include Andrew Herman, Sol Horn, David Robbins, Leo Seltzer, and others.
Artist files comprise three-quarters of the collection and consist primarily of photographs of artwork, as well as scattered photos of artists at work, including: Charles Alston, Luis Arenal, Richmond Barthe, John Benson, Andrew Berger, Lucille Blanch, Lucienne Bloch, Ilya Bolotowsky, Luise Brann, Selma Burke, Letterio Calapai, Eugene Chodorow, Francis Criss, Stuart Davis, Adolf Dehn, Virginia Dehn, Jose de Rivera, George Pearse Ennis, Philip Evergood, Eugenie Gershoy, Bertram Goodman, Arshile Gorky, Marion Greenwood, Philip Guston, Donal Hord, Joseph Hovell, William Karp, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Edward Laning, Julian Levi, Audrey McMahon, Elizabeth Olds, Anton Refregier, Will Shuster, William Zorach, and others.
The remainder of the collection consists of files documenting related activities and programs of the FAP, arranged by subject. The bulk of these files document the activities of the New York City FAP, including free art classes and art exhibitions for adults and children, exhibitions at the Harlem Art Center, and the work of FAP branches including the Easel Division, the Graphic Arts Division, and the Poster Division.
Other subjects documented include federal and community art centers in eleven states, most extensively Washington State; other WPA projects such as the Federal Theater Project, the Federal Music Project, and the Federal Writers' Project; buildings decorated with FAP artwork; art processes as demonstrated by FAP artists; special events; and people involved with the FAP, including director Holger Cahill.
One folder contains images that appear to have been taken by Berenice Abbott for the exhibition Changing New York (1935), for the Museum of the City of New York in collaboration with the WPA.
The collection is arranged as 2 series:
Series 1: Artist Files, circa 1920-1965 (Boxes 1-24; 9.6 linear feet)
Series 2: Subject Files, 1934-1956 (Boxes 25-32; 2.8 linear feet)
The Federal Art Project (FAP) was one of the Depression-era work-relief programs of the Federal Works Progress Administration (WPA). The program was founded in August 1935 to provide employment for artists and to implement visual arts programs in local communities across the country.
Together with the Federal Music Project, the Federal Theater Project, and the Federal Writers' Project, the FAP formed part of the WPA's Federal Project No. 1. The WPA became the Work Projects Administration in 1939 when it fell under the administrative hand of the newly created Federal Works Agency; concurrently the Federal Art Project was officially re-named the Federal Art Program.
Under the direction of Holger Cahill, the goals of the FAP fell into three main areas: production of artwork, art education through art classes and community centers, and art research through the Index of American Design. During the course of the program, artists created murals and other works of art for many non-Federal government buildings such as schools, hospitals, and libraries. Separate photographic divisions were set up in several states, most notably in New York City, to document the work of artists employed by the program, activities in art education such as classes for children and adults, community center outreach programs, and other "Federal 1" projects, including the Federal Theater and Music Projects. Employees of the photographic division were also involved in other assignments, such as creating exhibitions and photo murals.
The Federal Art Project ended in 1943.
Among the holdings of the Archives of American Art are related collections, including the Federal Art Project of the Work Projects Administration records, 1935-1948. Additional FAP records are held by the National Archives and Records Administration in Washington D.C.
The collection was anonymously donated to the Archives of American Art in the late 1950s.
Use of original papers requires an appointment and is limited to the Archives' Washington, D.C. Research Center. Contact Reference Services for more information.

Ecology Program Records
11.5 cu. ft. (23 document boxes)
Serials (publications)
Descriptive Entry:
This record unit consists of files documenting the operation of the Smithsonian Office of Ecology (SOE), 1965-1970, and its successor, the Ecology Program of the Office of Environmental Sciences (OES), 1970-1973. The records were created primarily by administrators Buechner, 1965-1968; Wallen, 1969; and Jenkins, 1970-1973. They include organizational files, 1965-1973; administrative records, 1965-1973, including material concerning the development of the Chesapeake Bay Center for Field Biology (after 1970, the Chesapeake Bay Center for Environmental Studies) and the Smithsonian-Peace Corps Environmental Program; project files, 1965-1973, including records documenting projects conducted as part of the International Program in Ecology; and files of Lee Merriam Talbot, 1965-1971.
The history of the Ecology Program of the Office of Environmental Sciences can be traced to July 1, 1965, when the Smithsonian Office of Ecology (SOE) was created to assist in expanding the research opportunities of Smithsonian scientists and to aid in the coordination of ecological activities with other government agencies. From its creation until 1966, the SOE was an administrative unit of the National Museum of Natural History. In 1966, administrative responsibility for the SOE was transferred to the Assistant Secretary for Science. The Smithsonian's environmental sciences programs were reorganized under the Office of Environmental Sciences (OES) in 1970. At that time, the SOE became the Ecology Program of the newly created OES. In 1973, OES was merged with the Office of International Activities to form the Office of International and Environmental Programs (OIEP). The Ecology Program came under the administrative control of OIEP. The Ecology Program was abolished in 1974.
Administrators of the Ecology Program of OES and its predecessor the SOE included Helmut K. Buechner, assistant director for ecology, 1965-1966, head, 1966-1968 (he also served as senior scientist, 1968-1971); Irvin Eugene Wallen, acting head, 1969; and Dale W. Jenkins, director, 1970-1973. Other staff included Lee Merriam Talbot, research biologist, 1965-1966, field representative, Ecology and Conservation, 1966-1967, deputy head and international field representative, 1968, resident ecologist, 1969-1971, and deputy director, 1972-1973; and Francis Raymond Fosberg, special assistant for tropical biology, 1965-1966.
Programs and bureaus under the administration of the Ecology Program of OES and its predecessor the SOE included the Chesapeake Bay Center for Field Biology (after 1970 the Chesapeake Bay Center for Environmental Studies), 1965-1969; the Center for Natural Areas, 1972-1974; and the Peace Corps Environmental Program, 1972-1974.

These records are the official minutes of the Board. They are compiled at the direction of the Secretary of the Smithsonian, who is also secretary to the Board, after approval by the Regents' Executive Committee and by the Regents themselves. The minutes are edited, not a verbatim account of proceedings. For reasons unknown, there are no manuscript minutes for the period from 1857 through 1890; and researchers must rely on printed minutes published in the Annual Report of the Smithsonian Institution instead. Minutes are transferred regularly from the Secretary's Office to the Archives. Minutes less than 15 years old are closed to researchers. Indexes exist for the period from 1907 to 1946 and can be useful.
The Smithsonian Institution was created by authority of an Act of Congress approved August 10, 1846. The Act entrusted direction of the Smithsonian to a body called the Establishment, composed of the President; the Vice President; the Chief Justice of the United States; the secretaries of State, War, Navy, Interior, and Agriculture; the Attorney General; and the Postmaster General. In fact, however, the Establishment last met in 1877, and control of the Smithsonian has always been exercised by its Board of Regents. The membership of the Regents consists of the Vice President and the Chief Justice of the United States; three members each of the Senate and House of Representatives; two citizens of the District of Columbia; and seven citizens of the several states, no two from the same state. (Prior to 1970 the category of Citizen Regents not residents of Washington consisted of four members). By custom the Chief Justice is Chancellor. The office was at first held by the Vice President. However, when Millard Fillmore succeeded to the presidency on the death of Zachary Taylor in 1851, Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney was chosen in his stead. The office has always been filled by the Chief Justice since that time.
The Regents of the Smithsonian have included distinguished Americans from many walks of life. Ex officio members (Vice President) have been: Spiro T. Agnew, Chester A. Arthur, Allen W. Barkley, John C. Breckenridge, George Bush, Schuyler Colfax, Calvin Coolidge, Charles Curtis, George M. Dallas, Charles G. Dawes, Charles W. Fairbanks, Millard Fillmore, Gerald R. Ford, John N.

Morton, Richard M. Nixon, Nelson A. Rockefeller, Theodore Roosevelt, James S. Sherman, Adlai E. Stevenson, Harry S. Truman, Henry A. Wallace, William A. Wheeler, Henry Wilson.
Ex officio members (Chief Justice) have been: Roger B. Taney, Salmon P. Chase, Nathan Clifford, Morrison R. Waite, Samuel F. Miller, Melville W. Fuller, Edward D. White, William Howard Taft, Charles Evans Hughes, Harlan F. Stone, Fred M. Vinson, Earl Warren, Warren E. Burger.

Saudi oil market share set to hit highest since 1980s: J.P. Morgan
By Ron Bousso
LONDON (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's share of the oil market is set to rise this decade to its highest since the 1980s as investment in production elsewhere dries up in the wake of the coronavirus crisis, J.P. Morgan said in a report.
FILE PHOTO: General view of Saudi Aramco's Ras Tanura oil refinery and oil terminal in Saudi Arabia May 21, 2018. REUTERS/Ahmed Jadallah/File Photo
Oil prices have plunged more than 40% this year after an unprecedented collapse in demand, prompting oil and gas companies to announce spending cuts that will total $625 billion by the end of the decade, according to the Wall Street bank.
The investment crunch will lead to a loss of output that is set to push benchmark Brent oil prices to $60 a barrel within two years, J.P. Morgan analyst Christyan Malek told Reuters.
(GRAPHIC - JPM oil supply and demand: )
Brent LCOc1 fell as low as $16 a barrel in April as the pandemic forced economies around the world to lock down and it is currently trading near $40 a barrel. [O/R]
The U.S. bank expects global oil demand to average 91 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2020, 9 million lower than earlier estimates, with consumption only recovering to pre-pandemic levels of 100 million bpd in November 2021.
But changes in consumption patterns will lead to a permanent demand loss of 3 million bpd this decade compared with previous forecasts, J.P. Morgan forecasts.
Oil supply, meanwhile, is set to fall by 5 million bpd due to a lack of investment in new output and the closure of some fields. With the lowest production costs and biggest capacity, Saudi Arabia is best placed to take up the slack, the bank said.
"Saudi Arabia will come out on top in the fight for market share as non-OPEC and U.S. production fades," Malek said.
U.S. shale oil production, which grew sharply throughout the 2010s, will barely rise this decade, climbing only to 11 million bpd by 2030 from 10.9 million this year, the bank forecast.
Before the slide in oil prices, shale output was expected to reach 17 million bpd by the end of this decade.
As a result, J.P. Morgan expects members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting countries (OPEC) to fill the supply gap, once oil prices reach $60 a barrel, which is the price OPEC countries need on average to balance their budgets.
While OPEC's market share fell from a peak of 39% of total oil supply in 2016 to 33% in 2020-21, the bank expects the group to regain a market share of about 40% by 2025.
Saudi Arabia's market share is set to grow from 11.6% in 2020 to 15% over the period, a level not seen since the 1980s, Malek said.

Mercè Curull Martínez (Barcelona, 1953 - Barcelona, 2019) va ser una advocada que fou directora general de l'Esport a Catalunya entre el 1998 i el 2000.

Llicenciada en Dret per la UB, diplomada en comunitats Europees pel Patronat Català Pro Europa i magister en Dret de Catalunya per la UAB, durant 18 anys va ser responsable dels serveis jurídics de la presidència de la Generalitat de Catalunya. Va ser cap del Servei Jurídic Central del departament de la Presidència, cap del Servei Central d'Assessoria del Gabinet Jurídic Central i subdirectora general de Serveis Generals i Coordinació Jurídica del mateix gabinet.

Va ser nomenada Directora General de l'Esport des del 10 de març del 1998 fins al 2000. Va ser la primera dona que va ostentar un càrrec màxim a Catalunya en l'àmbit esportiu oficial. Anys després explicaria que es va trobar "sola i anormal, arraconada pels homes". L'exatleta Glòria Pallé i Torres la va substituir en el càrrec en el marc dels pactes postelectorals entre CDC i UDC.

En ser destituïda per raons polítiques va tornar al cos d'advocats de la Generalitat assumint la direcció de l'assesoria jurídica del departament d'agricultura durant tres anys. El 2004 Rafel Niubò li va oferir incorporar-se al seu equip, va tornar a la Secretaria General. El març del 2006 fou nomenada directora del Consell Català de l'Esport. Durant aquesta etapa va donar un impuls a l'esport femení a través de programes pels clubs que incorporessin dones a l'equip directiu i fomentant les beques per les esportistes.

The UKSC
New judgment: Zoumbas v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2013] UKSC 74
Matrix Legal Support Service New Judgments
On appeal from: [2012] CSIH 87.
Mr Zoumbas challenged the dismissal of his asylum claim, for the manner in which the Secretary of State dealt with the best interests of his children. In interpreting ZH (Tanzania) on the consideration of the best interests of a child, the Court held that no factor should be given greater weight than the interests of a child. This did not mean it had to be considered first, with other possible countervailing issues considered thereafter. What was important was that the best interests of the children are at the forefront of the decision-maker's mind. That conclusions on best interests were set out briefly in the Secretary of State's decision letter did not mean they were not considered carefully, and she did not need to record and deal with every piece of evidence in her letter. On an irrationality point, it was legitimate for the decision-maker to ask herself first whether it would have been proportionate to remove the parents if they had no children, then in considering the best interests of the children in the proportionality exercise, ask whether their well-being altered that provisional balance.

Some cases of negligence make it simple to determine who is liable for an injury suffered as a result of negligence, but many cases are not so cut and dry. When a victim of negligence is found to be partially responsible for their own injuries, compensation amounts can be severely reduced or even eliminated completely. Individuals who find themselves injured in a situation that involved negligence on their part and the part of others should seek legal assistance to pursue compensation.
What is Contributory Negligence
Contributory negligence occurs when the person who is a victim of negligence also acted negligently during the situation in which they became injured. When the negligence case goes to court, the court will take this contribution into account when determining liability and calculating any compensation including damages.
Whether or not a victim is eligible to receive compensation when contributory negligence was a factor in their injuries depends on the state in which the incident occurred. Some states will not allow a person to collect compensation at all if this is the case, but most states simply require the court to adjust compensation according to the victim's degree of contribution to the situation that resulted in personal injury. States that allow compensation to be sought in these cases consider this negligence to be comparative negligence.
The states that still use the concept of contributory negligence are:
Examples of Contributory Negligence
In a situation where contributory negligence is involved, the victim and the responsible party both act negligently in a way that leads to injury of the victim. An example of a situation in which this applies is when a pedestrian fails to look for cars before crossing the street. If a car being driven by a person who is driving erratically or speeding hits the pedestrian, both the pedestrian and the driver of the car could be held liable for the accident.
Another example of contributory negligence would be if a person fails to utilize safety equipment while on the job. If an accident occurs that is the result of negligence on the part of the employer, the employee would be partially to blame for any injuries sustained during this accident due to a failure to use the safety equipment that has been provided.
Getting Help with Contributory Negligence
If you were injured in a situation that was caused in part by negligence on your part, you need a lawyer on your side to help you prove that someone else also acted negligently in a way that entitles you to compensation. Dealing with injuries related to negligence can be difficult, and having legal assistance in proving your case is necessary. Contributory negligence in states that still use this legal concept will leave you with no compensation to pay for medical expenses, lost wages or damages that may result from such an injury, so it is important to consult an experienced personal injury attorney.

After working with Rachel during her time as The Bachelorette, I knew we needed to continue the story after the final rose. Rachel has been so lovely to get to know, and I knew partnering together to benefit a charity that was close to her heart would be something we both could get excited about.
This Winter, our West Village store team will be partnering with Rachel Lindsay for a Kendra Gives Back event benefitting The Michael Finley Foundation. Detailed with light touches of whimsy, this event will evoke romance while exciting our Dallas ladies for the holiday season!
Navy-tied waiters will pass around party-inspired appetizers while the bartender mixes up bubbly cocktails with clear and rose quartz crystal rock candy stirrers. In the background, lively music will bring the store to life while influencers and VIP customers mingle about. Throughout the store, jewel toned florals will drape the countertops and gem stone boxes will kiss the table scape.
To encourage attendees to check off those holiday wish lists, we will be providing a gift with purchase to the first 50 customers who spend $200 or more. Through this initiative, we hope to get closer to reaching our goal of $3,000 giveback to The Michael Finley Foundation. To sweeten the gift with purchase, an in-house calligrapher will hand draw names for a personal touch to place inside that will be cherished for years to come.
I am looking forward to bringing this event to fruition and can't wait to update!

Northfield building named after Jan Borja
Superintendant Paul Sally dedicates Jan Borja building
NT Facebook
Claudia Levens
Wednesday Sept. 6, the Northfield campus's B building was officially renamed in honor of New Trier's former principal Jan Borja. The 'Borja Building' name unveiling took place outside the entrance of the B building around 4 pm. and was followed by a ceremony in the student commons inside.
"This is something we've been ready to do for a while," said Northfield Principal Dr. Waechtler. New Trier's policy is that a building can only be named after any faculty or staff member associated with the school 5 years after they've retired or left, so as soon as those five years had come to a close Waechtler and others who'd worked closely with her gathered support and submitted a proposal to the New Trier naming committee.
By May of this year, the School Board unanimously voted to rename the building in honor of Borja- notably, the first one at New Trier to be named after a woman.
Superintendent Paul Sally began the event by giving introductory remarks, and then Borja's daughter, son, and husband revealed the sign that would be placed above the building. In the commons, current Northfield principal Paul Waechtler, assistant principal Gail Gamrath, and Borja's daughter all gave speeches. New Trier student Sarah Shapiro sang to close the ceremony in honor of how much Borja loved student musical performances.
The B building contains many of the things that Borja loved and influenced throughout her time at New Trier. It houses the principal's office, the advisor chair's offices, and the Northfield building's language department- all positions Borja held during her time at New Trier. She also worked to create a daycare center at New Trier which is in the B building as well.
Initially hired as the German and Spanish teacher in 1970, she eventually transitioned to freshman and sophomore advisor chair, then to department chair of the modern and classical languages department, and finally to the principal of the Northfield Campus- the first one since the campus's reopening. Borja retired after 40 years at New Trier in 2011. In 2012 she passed away after battling cancer.
In addition to spearheading to the reopening of the Northfield Campus in 2001, Borja is also credited with integrating social emotional growth, anti bullying, and service learning programs into the Northfield campus's curriculum- including Names Day.
Borja is known not just for her numerous accomplishments at New Trier, but also for having a positive impact on the environment through her relationship-based leadership. "In working with faculty and staff, relationships were paramount to her," said Waechtler in regards to just one of her mantras, 'it's all about relationships.' This involved getting to know and understand the people she worked with in order to help them and herself grow.
Another phrase she often used in regards to students was the idea of "the whole child," which required thinking about what students need in order to be successful- intellectually, socially, emotionally. While teaching and learning were important to her, Borja also saw value in acknowledging how schools could really enrich students in multiple aspects of their lives. In fact, she's known for her famous hug lines where she would hug people as they would enter a meeting.
As the Northfield campus enters its 17th year since reopening, it's especially interesting to think of how New Trier has changed since its reopening. But also how the school has extended upon her ideas, carried on the traditions she started, and in this way, is very much the same.
As pretty much everything does here at New Trier, it all boils back down to the moto plastered everywhere- on backs of t-shirts, at the tops of banners, etc: "to commit minds to inquiry, hearts to compassion, and lives to the service of humanity." A phrase she exemplified in every aspect of her leadership.
"It's nice to think" said Waechtler "that her grandkids, who live in the area, will eventually go to New Trier and see her honored here on the building."

The most nervous performance of your life is always the first gig. It all gets easier from then onwards. Some of our students will be performing publicly for the first time in the next month. We have our Showcase concert on November 26th as well as our end of year performance nights. Here the Eastern Suburbs School of Music teachers reflect on their first gig.
Rhys Lett – Owner – Eastern Suburbs School of Music
My first gig was playing in my high school student centre in year 9. We did a three song set before the year 10 band played. One song we played was Mustang Sally. It was all barre chords which killed my hands to play! The band played very well. I used the school red electric guitar that was straight out of the 1980s. Our drummer in the band was also Eastern Suburbs School of Music drum teacher Troy Eckhardt's brother Scott. The performance confirmed for me what I wanted to do with my life in being a professional musician.
Bruno Jambrecina – Guitar/Ukulele/Bass – Carrum Downs/Boronia
I played my first gig in the Gippsland area. It was for a charity event and a friend of mine asked me to play guitar on a few of her original songs. The stage was on the back of a semi trailer. Even though the set up wasn't great and we had a few technical issues we had fun playing a few original indie/soul tunes to a crowd of about 50 people.
Jason Fados – Guitar/Banjo – Boronia
My first gig was at a friends 16th birthday party. Our set was absolutely terrible and I remember me and the other guitarist broke 5 strings throughout the show.
Troy Eckhardt – Drums – Carrum Downs
First gigs was when I was 13 yo at an 18th party. We played originals and covers. It was interesting learning how to use PA system and balance of sounds. My first pub gig was at Armidale Hotel age 16 with original band "On The Rocks "
My first gig was at a local primary school fete. My band and I were in Year 9 and played a couple of hours worth of covers. I still have a recording somewhere! Lots of speeding up, bad notes and off key singing but our friends still loved it. The sooner you get out there, the sooner you start really learning about music – how it fits together and how it engages an audience.
Nick Hughes – Drums – Boronia
My first performance was at the first ESSM concert in 2012. We played about 4 cover songs and finished with Enter Sandman by Metallica. I'll always remember the nerves of playing in front of such a large group of people for the first time.
You can watch Nick's first performance by following this link to the video of this concert at around the 1 hour mark.
Dalys Hill – Piano/Singing – Boronia
My first gig was in year 12 singing with my band Dusk. My friends dressed me in blue sequinned pants and my mum bought me expensive ear plugs. One verse into the first song, the earplugs came out and put on the guitar amp. Never to be seen again. I learnt that it can be mighty hard to hear yourself sing in a fold back, and not to leave things on the guitar amp!
Dave Hartney – Guitar/Singing/Piano/Ukulele/Bass – Boronia
My first gig was with The Victorian Boys Choir in 1988 when I was ten. It was in Robert Blackwood Hall at Monash University. It was the concert in my first year of the choir. I remember that we practiced very hard every Friday night. We had to make our words and diction very clear. I remember seeing the older groups of the choir sing and thinking that I wanted to be able to sing as good as them.
Two years later when I was 12 I got my first professional payed gig singing in the boys chorus for The Victorian Opera Company's production of Bizet's opera Carmen at Rod Laver Arena (then called The National Tennis Centre). All the shows were sold out. I got to sing there again two years ago in the choir with the tenor Andrea Bocelli and Delta Goodrem and orchestra.
Hayden Blaby – Guitar/Ukulele – Boronia
My first gig was with my Original band 'Roulette' at the Boronia Senior Citizens Hall. It was for an 18th birthday. We played two originals that I wrote as well as Motley Crue, Ozzy And Kiss covers. The gig was a great success and we become quite popular at school after that! I remember being more excited than nervous before the gig. Was the beginning of a great run of gigs around Melbourne for us.
Luke Shore – Drums – Boronia
My first gig was when I was 16 years old at a Freeza Battle of the Bands competition. I can't exactly remember the venue, I think it was a church in Clayton. Due to an intense amount of nerves, the whole performance was a blur. But I do remember that night I asked a girl that I liked to my school's formal and she said yes. And our band won the competition that night.
Daniel Lijnders – Bass – Boronia
My first memory of a live performance was playing recorder at the Mountain Gate shops with my Primary School music class. I learned how to stand in a group and tuck my shirt in but don't remember being too nervous. My first gig as a teen was on drums at a School Fete with the class rock band and I learned how much effort it was to set up drums and how much responsibility there was the starts the songs & keep everyone in time.

Hi there everyone! Oh what to do, what to do on a dreary winter day? It's not cold, but it's gray and rainy out there today. I'm actually still in my pj's and it is 3:00 in the afternoon. Still in Christmas clean up mode around here.
I am also shooting for FREE. Like in other words shop my house. Just like I did for my Valentine's rustic sign I recently made.
Today, I am sharing a dollar tree snowflake picture frame idea. I had the frame, the snowflakes, an old book, and mod podge on hand.
My pictures are not going to be their best here today. As I mentioned, it is dreary and gray out there. No matter what settings, I am just not great with these sort of photos when the sun is not shining.
First I tore out my pages. No need for them to be neat. That's the beauty of mod podge projects.
When I mod podge I always do a section at a time. Simply brush on the mod podge, and adhere a page at a time. You can smooth it out with your finger or an old credit card. I use my finger because I have this weird like for mod podge on my fingers.
Then paint over the book pages and let it dry for an hour or two.
Place back in frame and glue your snow flakes on top of the glass. Oh, I forgot to mention I used the cardboard that came with the frame to mod podge my book pages. You can use any cardboard you have on hand. You can use an old gift box and cut it to size the frame, or cardboard from a box.
I did put this in my entertainment center, but the first shot I shared as you can see it is too dark. I am sure you will see it again on a sunny day when I share more upcoming craft projects.
You can check out my other gallery of ideas while you are here. If you are new to me, welcome! Hope to see you back again.
Really cute idea Debbie. Just a large unframed board for a background would be really pretty too. Maybe next year for my Winter mantel.
Fun idea, Debbie! Pinned for later!
Isn't it nice to stay in your jammies and craft? I love to shop my house and spend $0 too. I always feel like the challenge is worth it.
Nice winter project; I love the 'old book' idea (for anything). Isn't it great to make something NEW and it doesn't cost you ANYTHING!? That's the best part of crafting; we always have extra things in our stash. Good job Debbie.
I am going to put this on my craft list for 2017. I will use Christmas carol sheets as my background!
Great idea! Have fun Nancy.

Nvidia announces Tegra K1 SoC at CES, to be available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions
Posted by Sushil Kumar | Jan 7, 2014 | Gadgets Releases |
NVIDIA started its CES 2014 journey with the unveiling of Tegra K1 SoC at a press event on Monday, which will be its flagship mobile processor this year.
Nvidia Tegra K1 SoC
According to the company, the Tegra K1 SOC is based on NVIDIA's Kepler architecture, and packs 192 CUDA cores. The Nvidia Tegra K1 will be released in quad-core Cortex A15 (+1 shadow Cortex A15 core) and dual-core Denver (64-bit ARMv8) versions.
The specifications of these variants are as follow:
Up to 2.3 GHz 32-bit quad-core, 4-Plus-1 ARM Cortex A15 CPU, LPDDR3 RAM, Up to 3840×2160 pixels display support, HDMI – 4K (UltraHD, 4096×2160)
Up to 2.5 GHz NVIDIA-designed 64-bit dual Super Core CPU codenamed Denver for high single-thread and multi-thread performance. Based on ARMv8 architecture
"Over the past two decades, NVIDIA invented the GPU and has developed more graphics technologies than any other company. With Tegra K1, we're bringing that heritage to mobile. It bridges the gap for developers, who can now build next-gen games and apps that will run on any device," said Jen-Hsun Huang, co-founder and CEO, NVIDIA. "
NVIDIA claims that the Kepler GPU at the core of Tegra K1 is 1.5 times more efficient than other mobile GPUs like Adreno 330 in Snapdragon 800 and Apple A7.
The A15 version of Tegra K1 will be available as a part of commercial devices in the first half, while the 64-bit Denver version will arrive in the second half of 2014, according to Nvidia.

Greece Seeks EU Help to Repay Debt
March 23, 2015 6:59 AM update March 23, 2015 8:24 PM
FILE - Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi (left), Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, European Parliament President Martin Schulz and German Chancellor Angela Merkel confer during a European Council summit in Brussels, March 19, 2015.
Talks between Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Monday were aimed at bridging sharp differences over Greece's tenuous economic future but brought little sign of progress in the standoff.
Tsipras had arrived in the German capital seeking short-term financial aid from the European Union so it could service its $270 billion debt to European creditors in the coming months and keep Athens from falling out of the 19-member eurozone.
After initial talks Monday, both Tsipras and Merkel urged an end to German and Greek cultural stereotypes about "good and bad" eurozone members, saying such labels threaten European unity. That was the extent of progress.
Germany and other creditors are demanding that Greek leaders make and enforce tough spending cuts and implement wide-ranging reforms in exchange for more bailout money.
On Monday, the Financial Times reported it had acquired a copy of a March 15 letter in which Tsipras, in a letter to Merkel, warned that it would be "impossible" for Greece to service its debt in the coming weeks without short-term financial help.
"I am urging you not to allow a small cash flow issue, and a certain 'institutional inertia,' to not turn into a large problem for Greece and for Europe," Tsipras wrote.
The letter said Athens may be forced to choose between loan repayments to the International Monetary Fund or continuing its social spending.
Tsipras' left-wing Syriza party won elections in January, largely on promises to end the deep spending cuts favored by Germany and other eurozone members in exchange for continued EU aid.
Athens later was granted a four-month extension on bailout payments through the end of June. In exchange, creditors demanded a detailed list of reforms before any money is released.
The new Tsipras government agreed last month to a list of reforms, but the government has so far delayed submitting the measures for parliamentary approval.
Merkel wants her Greek counterpart to make and enforce tough spending cuts and reforms before receive more bailout money, the biggest share of which is financed by Germany.

EU Losing Patience with Greece


i hope i'm not the only person who finds this incident very highly amusing. i'm sure that real terrorists are laughing their asses off at us right now. a large portion of boston shut down because someone was afraid of a cartoon character.
oh, you can buy one of the boston ignignokt ad-bombs on ebay - current bid as i type this is $5,101.
That two people are in jail over this is ridiculous.
"We are not surprised that your puny Earth humor cannot grasp this. Laugh at him, Err. Shoot him the bird while you are laughing.
fortunately, the two men who've been arrested seem to be taking it in stride.

Clerks III
Twenty-eight years ago, Clerks was released into the world, and I would like to think that the world changed a bit. It helped independent films gain some notoriety, right? It certainly helped Harvey Weinstein, but that is a different story. I watched this film years later, somewhere as a teenager, after already seeing Mallrats at the time.
Sixteen years ago, Clerks II was released! I was able to see that movie the day it had came out. We had to drive an hour to see it, my brother and I, and there wasn't a lot of people in the theaters. It was certainly a good time. The sequel had similarities with the first film, but certainly stood on its own. And plus, they could afford to Rosario Dawson money, who was actually famous!
The release of Clerks III has taken a long time to come. I know at some point, a script was written for a film, but that did not happen. At a different time, it was turned into a screenplay where the goal was to have it performed on stage for some amount of time, and then shown in theaters in some sort of Fathom event. That also did not come to fruition.
It took Kevin Smith almost dying for him to make Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. But using that same influence, he decided to then make Clerks III about his experiences as well. Even though, theoretically, Clerks was about some of his experiences. And well, that means are getting what they call one of them/there Meta films.
Damn, the stoners are back to doing drugs. Ain't that a shame.
At the end of Clerks II, Dante (Brian O'Halleran) and Randal (Jeff Anderson) bought the Quick Stop that had burned down with Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob's (Kevin Smith) movie money. They hired Elias (Trevor Fehrman) as one of their employees. And of course, Dante finally was able to realize what he wanted in a love life with Becky (Rosario Dawson), whom was pregnant with a child and now engaged.
So where are we at the new movie? Well, the same amount of time has passed and everyone is still at the same store, doing the same job. Except the job is more fun. For example, they can play hockey on the roof without it being a big deal, because they are the owners.
Unfortunately, Randal ends up having a heart attack and almost dies. [Hey, like Kevin Smith!…] Well, Randal doesn't like that. Sure he might have to change some of his lifestyle, but since he almost died, he wants to make sure he leaves some impact on the world. Instead of just sitting around all day watching movies, he wants to make a movie. He must have learned enough about it now to make a good one right? And why not just make it about what he knows best, working a convenience store as a clerk serving the public.
And Elias worships Satan now.
Also starring Marilyn Ghigliotti and Austin Zajur.
"This job would be great if it wasn't for all the goddamn movie critics." – Kevin Smith, probably.
How did Clerks III do? Did it nail the landing? Was it poignant yet funny? Was it sad and finale? Was it just dick and fart jokes? The Before trilogy is wonderful, telling the story of two people every 9 years in their life. Starring the same two actors, and the same director. Is the Clerks trilogy technically doing the same thing, over a longer time frame? Yes. But each part does not feel worthwhile, I am afraid.
There are two very specific moments that I certainly cannot talk about. One found out early on, and one dealing with the film's climax. The earlier one annoyed me greatly, and changed the context of the film. The latter one made me cry, and yet at the same time, it felt cheap. It felt like something I have seen before. Heck, part of it feels like it was ripped straight out of Me and Earl and the Dying Girl. Unlike Clerks II, where I cried due to great love on the screen, this film had me crying from sadness, but sadness that did not feel earned, nor did it feel like it was even well respected by the material. A very odd position to be in, given the creator's closeness to this franchise.
Outside of those two specific spoilery moments, most of the movie was watching these older characters try to film and create, what is essentially, the clerks movie. Using friends of theirs from the past to do similar roles inspired by their own fictional real events. What that means is that we got to see a LOT of cameos from the first film, reprising their same roles, and doing the same scenes. That is pretty interesting. Sure. But at the same time, the hardships that came with filming, and the specific things that popped up, were all real experiences as well. And they are all well known and well documented experiences. Because if there is anything Kevin Smith likes doing, it is telling stories from his life. So I was seeing scenes I have already heard before and read before, making the whole thing lose its edge really quickly. I didn't care about seeing an episode of SModcast, I wanted to see a new movie.
There are other elements of the trilogy that this one doesn't follow. I am not saying it has to, but it does help stylistically set the Clerks movies apart. This film does not take place over a day, it takes place over many many weeks. A small annoyance, but notable nonetheless.
The Elias plot line with his crypto friend was incredibly wasted. I don't think either made me laugh at all.
The problems with Clerks III is that instead of telling a good new story, Smith instead chose to tell an old story. And when a lot of your movie is literally rehashed jokes from the first one, it is hard to care. At least in the Jay and Silent Bob Reboot I got closure for Chasing Amy, so it doesn't need some bad sequel. For this specific series, I should have stopped after it peaked with the interspecies erotica.

Orlando Announces Record 75 Million Visitors
Orlando is No. 1 … again.
George Aguel, president and CEO of Visit Orlando, the region's official destination tourism and marketing organization, announced Thursday that the destination had a record 75 million visitors in 2018, reaffirming Orlando as the most visited destination in the U.S.
"It's not every day you can generate numbers like that," Aguel said. "People always ask us why you make a big deal of being No. 1 in visitors, well, hopefully we'll have a lot of people at home going, 'If everyone is going there, maybe we should, too.'"
Aguel made the announcement with Adrian Jones, Visit Orlando board chair and divisional director, USA, for Merlin Entertainments USA Inc., and Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings in front of about 1,200 attendees at the Celebrating Travel & Tourism Luncheon at the Hilton Orlando. The announcement also came as part of National Travel and Tourism Week, and during Visit Orlando's 35th anniversary.
The 75 million visitors represented a 4.2 percent increase over the previous year.
Orlando also set other records in 2018:
U.S. visitors up 4.1 percent to 68.55 million
International visitors up 5.4 percent to 6.48 million
Orlando International Airport arrivals increased 6.9 percent to 47.7 million passengers
International arrivals increased 11.64 percent to 6.6 million passengers
The 75 million visitors accounted for the majority of the state's 126.1 million visitors in 2018.
Aguel said the meeting and event industry accounts for about 10 percent of the total number of visitors, making Orlando the top destination for that sector.
"We talk about numbers as a whole, but obviously we recognize that we're pretty substantial on the [meetings and conventions] side of the business," he said. "Needless to say, people always ask me, 'How come you guys, if you're so popular with people who just come on vacation, how come you're so huge in the meeting and convention industry?' Well, it's the same as Las Vegas. Eighty percent of their business is there for leisure, but [people] like to come for meetings.
"Often the conversation is about where we are relative to someone else and I say Las Vegas has three convention centers, we have one. We're always No. 2 in the large trade shows, but when you account for everything else, every size group meeting, we're No. 1. We like that. We're OK with that. We'll never have three convention centers, we'll never have two, but we're happy our convention center does as well as it does while our hotels keep growing."
By comparison, Las Vegas, the No. 2 destination, welcomed just over 42 million visitors in 2018, with about 6.5 million of those in the city for meetings and conventions. Orlando, though, is home to seven of the world's top theme parks including such popular attractions as Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and SeaWorld.
Aguel said about 40 percent of the people who live in the Orlando community work in the hospitality industry with tourists contributing to about half of the area's sales tax.
"You take into account we've doing this for decades, focusing around the growth of the tourism industry and the value it brings to the community," he said. "This is good for all of us. Everyone talks about 75 million, but if we don't' take care of them, they won't come back."
Orlando's hold on the top spot will likely get even stronger going forward with significant expansions, enhancements and innovations at the Orange County Convention Center, Orlando International Airport and the city's convention hotels.
The Orange County Convention Center is in the midst of a US$605 million campus improvement plan that will bring significant expansion including new meeting and exhibit spaces in the North and South concourses, further increasing the center's 7 million square feet of total function space.
The center brings more than 200 conventions and events to Orlando, hosting 1.4 million attendees each year. The expansion includes an 80,000-square-foot ballroom with a grand entrance to the North-South building and a 200,000-square-foot multipurpose venue. There are now five pedestrian skybridges connecting more than 5,200 hotel rooms to the convention center.
"We are in a great position right now," said Rodney Gutierrez, director of sales and marketing at the convention center. "We know we can do so much more. What are customers looking for in the future to stay relevant? We're asking those questions."
Sustained Growth
The city's hotel inventory is growing every year, with more than 123,000 rooms of which 7,300 of which are within a one-mile radius of the convention center. By the end of 2019, that number will reach 128,600. Some of the new projects include Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, the largest of the six convention hotels at Walt Disney World Resort, which is expanding with construction underway on a new 15-story tower that will bring an additional 500 rooms to the resort. The expansion includes a new rooftop restaurant, meeting venues, a new board room and two multipurpose rooms to the resort's current 220,000 square feet of dedicated meeting and function space.
Another is the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld, which added 30,000 square feet of flexible meeting space including a new 16,500-square-foot ballroom and six new breakout rooms. Later this year, Universal's Endless Summer Resort Surfside Inn and Suites debuts, and next year, Universal's Endless Summer Resort Dockside Inn and Suites opens.
The Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress has broken ground on 25,000 square feet of flexible ballroom space, and next year, JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort & Spa opens with 516 guest rooms and 50,000 square feet of meeting space.
Also in 2020, a new tower at Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Resort debuts with 349 rooms and 22,000 square feet of meeting space.
Then there's the Orlando International Airport, where the new North terminal is already welcoming more than 150 flights a day, and a new South terminal will be completed in 2021, which will add 19 more gates.
Is there a limit to how much Orlando can grow?
Aguel, who has been at Visit Orlando for 29 years, said he remembers thinking 20 years ago, then again 15 years ago, that "this is it and we can't grow anymore. It's impossible. It's not going to happen, and it did happen. There's really not an end to it."
"What we're trying to do is figure out how to be more innovative and reinforcing the creative side," he said. "One thing is we represent some of the most creative brands in the world and we have to mirror that. We have to be sure the way we serve a meeting and convention, the opportunity and experience [attendees] get, is not the same they can get anywhere else."
