My fingers ran clumsily over the white keys of my mother's piano. I was lost in a childish reverie of imagination. One minute I was a concert pianist and the next, I was a daughter whose silly playing was lulling her dad to sleep.
My dad sat behind me in my mother's rocking chair, rocking and dosing, in no rush to leave, which surprised me but warmed my heart. My daddy was content to hear me play on the piano even though I'd taken lessons for a short time.
This memory is etched in my soul. I treasure it since so many memories of my childhood years had to be healed by God's compassion. As a child, I didn't see my dad relaxed and content very often; his time was usually spent on projects or sports or shouting and it's the latter that makes this single moment a gift from God.
As children, it is appropriate to want a parent, a favorite teacher or any regular caregiver to be our greatest fan. We are born needing affirming words. Studies have been done showing that babies respond differently whether they see a frown or a smile.
For many people, over time the mystery unravels and family secrets are brought to light and the scratching of the head becomes a nod of understanding that heals the ache a little. Understanding can help begin to close the door of pain, but the void remains. We need to be affirmed and encouraged. We need someone who takes pleasure in our existence.
For me, the road of healing opened my eyes to a screen that exists between my tangible temporal reality and the unseen eternal reality. I needed to see the unseen. Though the screen I saw the fears and insecurities behind the shouting. I saw parental heartache when material displays of love went unreceived by a bitter and hurting teenage girl. What brought the most healing was when my eyes saw a figure reaching his arms to the little girl within my soul, urging me to come to him and be held so that his divine love could make every bad memory fade away. I saw scenes from my childhood home where this figure stood in a corner of a room, weeping and praying and agonizing over the pain felt by the humans in the room. His nail-scarred hands were chained – human pride and resistance had shackled his ability to deliver and rescue. I also recognized this figure as the man hanging on a cross in a book in one of my grandmother's bedrooms. For years, my spiritual eyes would look behind the screen and see the figure with the outstretched arms encouraging me to come to him.
Psalm 28:6-7 Blessed be the Lord, Because He has heard the voice of my supplications! The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him.
Eli was a priest. How in the world did the sons of a priest become corrupt and unrighteous? It was their dad's fault. When it came to raising his kids, Eli had areas of emotional immaturity. Emotional immaturity and a weak will kept Eil from applying his knowledge of God's ways to his parenting style. In verse 27, God speaks to Eli through a prophet and later through a young boy named Samuel (1 Sam 3:13). Both tell him the harsh reality about the way he raised his sons and the forthcoming consequences to his lineage.
Eli preferred his children more than he revered God. How would this have looked? It may have meant that when his sons were mischievous boys, he did not discipline them. He let them get away with more than he should have. Maybe he catered to their whines and false apologies and never helped them see the sin in their hearts through gentle and honest conversation. As a priest, he did not teach them to honor the systems of offerings and sacrifice and he greedily took the best of what the people brought for their offerings. The fact that he preferred his children more than God was idolatry. At the stage where we meet Eli, he was a priest who did not revere God enough, did not revere the system of repentance that God set up, hadn't acknowledged his own issues, and was confronted with the scandal of his sons. Propitiation of their sinful behavior was available through the Hebrew practice of blood sacrifice, which foreshadowed Jesus' bodily sacrifice, but the sons scoffed at offerings and sacrifices. Now grown men, they were promiscuous and defiant adults. When Eli tried to reason with them, it was too late. He missed the opportunity to guide and train them during their formative years.
Now Eli wasn't a total screw up. Despite being faced with his fatherly failures, God allowed him to mentor the young Samuel, who was called from an early age to be a prophet. Eli affirmed Samuel as he learned to hear and obey God even when the boy was tasked with telling Eli his forthcoming demise. Because of Samuel's success story, Eli became one of the most important prophets in Jewish history. He was a man who eventually recognized his issues, addressed them and became a different man. This was the man that Samuel was trained by.
When we are confronted with our issues we must remind ourselves that we have the opportunity to change. We must be quick to close the door to self-condemnation and guilt. When we humbly acknowledge areas of immaturity, God steps in and begins the unseen and somewhat mysterious process of changing our hearts and minds.
The truth is that we are fallible adults who still need guidance and help. We are not all bad and we are not all good. Better than those two subjective measuring sticks is this truth: we are treasured! In Christ, we are forgiven! We are desired by a perfect God! Worth cannot be based on how well we do, but on the fact that our very existence is significant. The Old Testament did not offer the option for redemption, but the New Testament does through the blood sacrifice, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ. This redemption is so amazing, that today's parents who may have been "Eli's" at one time and whose adult children are now prodigals, whose hearts and minds are far from God's best, enjoy the possibility of these adult children can be wooed by the Spirit of God. The course of a lineage can be altered by the grace of God through Jesus Christ.
I believe in a Creator who imagined each of us out of the goodness of his nature. We have to keep our eyes on the process of change, not the goal. God is in charge of the finish line; we just need to yield to the journey.
I had not heard a pastor tell a congregation that children should be expected to learn the Word of God like they are expected to learn math and grammar. This well-known leader in North Carolina smashed my paradigm that children were too young to understand the same lessons that their parents learn in adult services. Adult services. That too is a misnomer when it comes to the intent of God for each generation of his people.
I understand the point of the typical children's ministry. Introduce the kids to salvation, the birth and death of Jesus Christ, and concepts like the fruit of the Spirit in a fun-filled way. That's great. However, the ministries that I've come to respect teach children deeper truths that some adults never even get in "adult services". When God called for a general assembly in Joel 2, he meant for all to hear the sound of his voice.
Samuel was a child who heard the voice of God.
David was a teenager who sensed the call of God to be a warrior-intercessor.
Jesus was twelve and taught in the temple.
The unborn John the Baptist leaped at the presence of His unborn Savior.
God is still speaking, confirming his Word to individual hearts in a variety of communicative ways. Whether visual, a gut impression or a still, small voice, God leads and guides all of his children into all truth.
My eight-year-old son woke up this morning ready to share an array of dramatic dreams. One, in particular, caught my attention. He was walking around someone's house, telling the enemy to get out. What was remarkable was that he knew that the enemies weren't people, but spiritual forces that the people who lived in the house couldn't see.
I told him that I believed God was letting him know that even though he is young, God's authority is with him because he believes in Jesus and Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). I told him that evil spirits want to kill, steal and destroy (John 10:10). Lastly, I was able to share with him that God has given him compassion. Jesus cared so much about people that he was compelled to free them from the things that harmed their lives. My son was able to make the connection between his dream and those scriptures. This is a child who dealt for a long time with fear. I know that God wants him to know and be confident in divine power and the force of faith and compassion and what a way to do it….a dream!
Whether a church encourages children to attend the general service or not is irrelevant. What is crucial is that ministries and parents understand that a child doesn't have to be only given the milk of the Word until high school. While I've focused on the topic of hearing God's voice, there are many other meaty subjects in the Word of God that children can be taught.
Jesus wants the children to know Him. Not just a portion, but the whole of Him. Not just his character, but his power and authority. Jesus is the Word. The Word declared from the mouth of a worshipping child carries power.


For parents summer school can be seen as an opportunity to get there kids looked after during the summer while they continue with the work. Summer school is also seen as an opportunity for their children to catch up in subjects where they are maybe behind or to develop in areas they have not had a chance to study within. However there are disadvantages to children attending summer school, especially from the viewpoint of the children.
So how do you write your essay about the disadvantages of summer school?
All good essays start with a good outline. Your outline does not have to be complicated nor does it have to a mammoth task to complete. It will however save you a huge amount of time when it comes to actually writing your essay about the disadvantages of summer school. Your outline shows you exactly how each section of your essay hangs together and what you should write where.
The main body of your essay is where you should begin with your outline, firstly you want to identify between 3 and 5 disadvantages for summer school about which you can write. These could be the fact that most children will resent having to attend school during the time when their friends are enjoying their vacations. Children may be singled out and bullied by their peers and that some children are forced to follow subjects they really don't want due to a limited curriculum.
For each of these you need to write a series of bullet points which will enable you to flesh out each individual paragraph. Once you have your points it will be very simple to write each paragraph and to remain on subject.
Your introduction should tell your readers what summer school is and provide some basic data as to how many attend each summer. It should also introduce them to what is going to be discussed within the main body.
Your final conclusion is your opportunity to follow a short summation of what you have discussed with your own personal comments and opinions.

For the record: What Elizabeth May said on Saturday in Ottawa - Macleans.ca
For the record: What Elizabeth May said on Saturday in Ottawa
Elizabeth May on climate, voting, TPP: 'We need to step up as Canadians'
by Nikki Wiart
Green Party leader Elizabeth May in Victoria, B.C. (Chad Hipolito, CP file photo)
Green Party members were up against a raucous wedding party Saturday night. The hooting and hollering during Elizabeth May's keynote address at the Green Party's biennial convention contested with the cheers from the next ballroom over. The Saanich-Gulf Islands MP's speech came on day two of the three-day convention. She used it to outline three priorities: Climate action, stopping the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and electoral reform.
For the record, here's a transcript of May's speech.
It's wonderful to be with all of you, everyone. I really want to thank Paul Manly for a very important briefing on the Trans-Pacific Partnership. I wish we had more time to focus on this but I'll try to get back to it in my speech. But I want to say again a big thank you to Paul Manly for his work as trade critic.
I also want to begin by acknowledging territory. Again, I am very deeply honoured to be speaking to you on the traditional unceded territory of the Algonquin of Golden Lake. Here we are, and of course you are all eating so don't worry about it, but it's good to be breaking bread with you. Of course this does mean, you understand, that I'm not eating. That's fine, I'm used to hunger strikes.
I'm reflecting on how much has changed in a year, the difference a year has made. In some ways, we faced great disappointment, but I want to turn that page and say how much better everything is. One year ago tonight, I was standing in Toronto, nervously awaiting with, the first time in my life they ever assigned an RCMP detail to me—I think it was to keep the Harper people away from me, but I'm not sure—it was the Maclean's leader's debate at a TV studio. It was a surrealistic event, but it does remind me very much that I want to start — and I'm sorry for a moment I've separated some of you from your crew — I want to start by thanking all of you who went on that 11-week gruelling journey with me. And I want to thank every single candidate for the federal ticket who ran for the Green Party in 2015. I'd like to ask all those candidates in this room to please stand up and accept our applause and thanks.
It's a wonderful team, and we all ran together.
There's one person I want to give a big shout out to and I hope she's watching online, live-streaming. One of our candidates was supposed to be here at lunch today to give the climate speech, and Bill McKibben kindly stepped in as a last-minute replacement. I want us to all send our love and a big shout out to Claire Martin in Vancouver who's recovering from cancer surgery. She will be well and back on both feet soon, they removed a chunk of her heel, and she's got to go through lots of skin grafts and stuff, but Claire, everyone here in Ottawa loves you!
Now I'm not sure if it was entirely clear to people why we were giving Bruce Hyer a roast tonight, but I can tell you when I was going through the Maclean's debate last year, I had asked everybody working with me what I might say. As you all know, I'm not scripted and I didn't plan remarks, I never did, all the other leaders they have this weird cult thing that before they go to debates, they do mock debates, they have other people play the other leaders so they can practice their lines to get them just right. Hence, they all appear pretty fake. It's the culture of the backroom spin doctor people, and it captures most people in politics, but I refuse to do it. That meant, nobody knew what I was going to say ahead of time, including me. And that also speaks true for tonight. As I went into the debate, I kept thinking, is there some moment tonight, August 6, 2015, when I can work in casually a big shout out and happy birthday to my deputy leader Bruce Hyer, Thunder Bay-Superior North. And I couldn't quite fit it into the debate format, but it is today, as it was last year, Bruce Hyer's birthday.
I really enjoy, as I think we all did, Frank Grave's presentation earlier that reminded us of how much things changed.
But at the very beginning of that campaign, I was quite certain that the current prime minister would be soon to be the former prime minister.
As a cathartic exercise, and I invite you to join with me, I no longer refer to the former prime minister by name, I just like to say, former prime minister "what's his name." I find this cathartic, helpful.
I knew that was the way the election was going to go because I knew how Canadians felt. I knew that they felt after 10 years watching our environmental laws destroyed, watching our culture shift towards being a less forgiving, a meaner place. A place where the idea we were tough on crime, meant we were dumb on crime policies that would keep people in jail for no reason longer, and we would impose the cost on provinces. Where the idea that we could actually have something as offensive, and I fought it so hard in Parliament, as a piece of legislation called "Zero Tolerance for Barbaric Cultural Practices Act."
I almost don't want to go back to those days to remind you what that law did. And they would thump their desks, I did a lot of debates with Chris Alexander, and he would thump his desk and say, "I'm astonished that the honourable member of the Saanich-Gulf Islands is not here to stand up for women, and condemn us of, the honour killings must end. The member of Saanich-Gulf Islands won't stand up for women." I point out little details like, huh, murder, kind of always been illegal. But the desk and chest thumping routine went on quite too long, and when it leaked its way into the election campaign — and this is something wonderful about Canada — what's-his-name once said when he was through with Canada, we wouldn't recognize it. That's why I wrote my book, Who We Are, because I don't think we've forgot who we are, who we were, and who we will be.
We are not a people who can be manipulated by fear. And by an appeal to the meanest, mean-spirited instinct within us. But like that old First Nation's myth, about which way you go when you have two wolves —the wolf that's with you that represents greed, and the wolf that's with you when you represent caring. They say in the first nation's legend, "Which one are you feeding? Which one gets stronger? Which one takes over your heart?" For 10 years we've been feeding the wolf that said, "We are a selfish people. We do not want those refugees coming here. We are a mean-spirited people. And yes, we are a group of people who want to be tough on nature. We're kind of sick of nature pushing us around and it's time we pushed back." That can only describe the kind of policies we were seeing.
I think we turned the page on something really important in the election. I need to speak it out loud because I think it's true and I don't think it's been celebrated — certainly not in our media. It runs against type for a political party leader in an opposition party, to celebrate something that the other party did. But it needs to be said: For the first time in a long time, the party that won this election did not use attack ads, not a single one!
I believe, and I like to think, that standing firmly on higher ground and saying we are a country that works better when we work together. By being a party that was willing to say, "Yes, we run above." By willing to be a party that said at that Maclean's debate that night, "Well a deficit isn't that big of a deal." And there was no huge anvil that landed on me from the skies above and flattened me there. I think I may have helped change the conversation. Certainly, I know from a lot of pollsters, the moment the Conservatives took a permanent nose dive, from which they could never recover, was when they sent poor, hapless, Kellie Leitch forward to advertise the tip line for barbaric cultural practices.
But what that election represented, for sure, was that Canadians rejected a politic of fear and selfishness and embraced a politic of hope and caring and compassion, and we're never going back.
So I celebrate what Justin Trudeau did, because you know what, when he stood up and said we want to bring in 45,000 refugees, the polling numbers on that were mushy. I may be wrong, Frank, but there was a lot of Canadians saying, "Well, I care about people who are suffering, and that poor little baby Alan Kurdi on the beach, but there could be really bad people hiding among those refugees." There's something wonderful about the fact, that when our new Prime Minister met Syrian refugees at our airport, and helped them try on their new winter coats. Canadians said, "Oh, thank God, we're a good people again." And the churches in this country and the volunteer groups in this country—we raised money like nobody would believe. I've got so many Syrian refugees I'm still trying to get to Canada. I'm on the phone all the time to John McCallum's office. I am bugging him. But it is true McCallum says he's got to be the only immigration minister in the world that his problem with the public is that he can't get the refugees here fast enough.
And that says we know who we are.
So what's my challenge now, as the leader of the Green Party in a Parliament with a much better government across the aisle?
Well, it's huge. Because the issues we face are too urgent to wait until the next election. They require we work extremely hard, constantly to ensure that. This is where I have to pause to say how I was raised, and a lot of you have heard this. My mother raised me to believe and understand that you can accomplish anything you want, if you don't care who gets the credit. Why did we get healthcare, unemployment insurance, the Canada Pension Plan, student loans, not interest bearing student loans, and the flag, in minority Parliament of Lester B. Pearson? It was because in those days, the NDP, under David Lewis and Tommy Douglas, didn't care who got the credit!
Speaking of the NDP. I just thought it'd be kind of nice to acknowledge the four, former Members of Parliament from the NDP who are Green Party members here working with us tonight, and I want to acknowledge and thank, and they can stand up.
I'd also like to introduce to you, a former member of the Conservative Party who's here tonight, but there isn't one. Very soon. Very soon.
So here's the thing, we are not like the other parties. My goal is to make sure we get real climate action, and I don't care, and as a matter of fact I would love it, if the record of Justin Trudeau in his first term as prime minister, is that we show global climate leadership and actually deliver on the Paris Agreement. I don't mind.
We won't be sitting back, like the other parties do, "Hope he does the wrong thing so later we can criticize him for it." Look, this isn't about politics. Our grandchildren's lives are at stake, and I know we all feel the same way. Climate action trumps partisanship!
I talk to reporters all the time, who somehow think we have absolutely no oral foundation. That we are completely by the idea that we might get credit for something down the line if only others mess up first and later we can get the credit. My god they don't understand the space. I don't think there's a single person who understands climate science who thinks it's important we get the credit. What we need is to get the action.
And that means we cannot allow the climate target that was put in place by the former government, six months before Paris, to continue to be cited almost every single day in some place in our national media, as though that's the Paris target. Please, help. The 30 per cent below 2005 by 2030 target put in place by Leona Aglukkaq in May 2015 is inconsistent with the Paris Treaty by 1.5 degrees. It's not just the weakest target in the G7, it is inconsistent with our survival and therefore, it is disturbing to me, that this long after the election, Justin Trudeau has not yet replaced that target and ramped it up to a meaningful one. So we have to push him to it, because you know what, I think he wants to do it. But nobody asks. And nobody demands, it simply won't happen. We have to push hard for moving away from fossil fuels as rapidly as possible, which of course means no to Energy East and no to Kinder Morgan. Those are no-brainers. It means yes to a whole lot more.
I don't like the expression "holding someone's feet to the fire," it hardly sounds friendly. Can we start talking about how we have to hold their marshmallows to the fire? We have to really spin it, with the marshmallow on the end of the stick and we have to roast it nicely. But I will not let Justin Trudeau off the hook for his major election promise that 2015 will be the last election held under first-past-the-post.
He promised the 63 per cent of Canadians who voted for candidates who had platforms that we were going to get rid of first-past-the-post.
There's never been a time where I've encountered — and this is bad of me, this is very bad of me — (Paul Martin once said, a politician who criticizes the media, is like a sailor who complains about the sea). So I'm going to complain about the sea.
What we face is an obstacle, and this is an obstacle to climate change as well, it's an obstacle to almost anything, is a wall of cynicism.
After 10 years of not covering climate, I understand that most the people in our national media have lost the thread. They don't understand climate science, they don't understand what it means to stay below two degrees Celsius, global average temperature increase below what it was at the time of the industrial revolution. Well, who can understand that? That's the goal. To keep global average temperature no more than two degrees Celsius above what it was before the industrial revolution. And there's no way to say that in the short form. I've heard major TV news readers and personalities ask point blank, "Can they keep to the two per cent." Oh dear lord, there is no two per cent, there's two degrees.
But what is the perfect cover for total ignorance of the issue? Cynicism. It works every time. They just have to say one party is just like the other and they're not going to beat it. Cynicism is our problem. Cynicism is our enemy. And in the case of our electoral reform promise, the wall of cynicism is intense.
As a member of the parliamentary committee on electoral reform, I stand in front of you and say from the bottom of my heart, I don't think we're going to be forced to accept some system that the parliamentary committee doesn't choose. I believe it's open and honest and engaging, and we hear from Canadians and experts and come up with a consensus report for an electoral system for fair voting, for a proportional representation that will work for Canada. That's our goal as MPs and I believe we will deliver on it, and I do not think the game is rigged.
But I've had very seasoned reporters say to me—and I've had not one reporter believe me when I say this—some have gone so far as to say, "I bet you a week's salary that report's already written, and it's already sitting in the PMO and they're just going to push it through, and it's going to be for ranked ballots because that advantages the Liberals." I don't believe that. I believe that this is open, fair, and engaged democracy, through representative democracy, through the legitimacy of the Parliament, that we are engaging with Canadians to come up with the right answer, and much depends on how much Canadians engage with us.
So we all have a job to do. We need to ensure in all of our communities, when there's a town hall meeting hosted by a member of Parliament, or when the committee I'm on goes out on the road to every single province and territory in this country to hear from Canadians, we need to make sure the grassroots are there and the mic is not occupied by astroturf. We have to get out in big numbers.
We need to step up as Canadians and let our government be what people around the world are now noticing about us, they sound a little bit different, a bit more compassionate than the others. With what's happening right now south of the border, where they're politics have entered into a zone of of toxic free-fall that is truly frightening for people who love not just democracy, but civilization. We have to recognize that Canada just started representing something different, and I really don't think we can afford to be petty in our partisanship. We need to celebrate the fact that when horrors like the Brexit referendum and the splitting up of the UK away from the EU and the threat that we'll lose the regulations that Caroline Lucas and the Green Party in the UK helped protect through European Union regulations, to help protect against fracking. They're worried all of that will be brought back.
So we know that in the world right now, Canada is looking — and a year makes a big difference — Canada is looking kind of hopeful. Kind of inspirational. Kind of a place that ages ago, we knew that people would say, "Gee, we need more Canada. We need more of that." And we can step up and help in a big way, not in a friendly like way, I'm not suggesting that for a minute. On trade deals, we are the experts on investor-state agreements, and we need to stand up and say clearly to Justin Trudeau and his cabinet, that there is no way in this world that we should ratify the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, and more than that, we need to say really clearly as India just did, we need to start a global conversation that's international to take apart all the existing investor-state agreements that give foreign corporations superior rights to government.
We have to do this. We just lost a Chapter 11 case, a NAFTA case, that affected Nova Scotia, a case I worked on so long when I was with the Sierra Club, where a U.S.-based corporation wanted to put an open-pit quarry for basalt, to dig up basalt from Digby, Nova Scotia, and run fast ships down to New Jersey to build more highways. Many problems with this plan, including this was a rural area, not industrial, and the lobster fishermen were all against it, the community was against it, it also affected the most endangered whale species on the planet, the right whale, at one point fewer than 300 individuals. The environmental assessment panel was chaired by Bob Fournier from Dalhousie University and that environmental assessment panel who said this project is so bad, there's no way for it to be mitigated, it must be turned down. And Bilcon of New Jersey, if they felt they were treated unfairly, they actually had a right to go to a Canadian court, a federal court, and say, "Wait, that isn't fair. We never knew they cared so much about the things that were actually in that law, called the Environmental Assessment Act." There was in the Environmental Assessment Act, we used to have, provisions to protect community values and socio-economic conditions of local communities. And their argument was, "We didn't know you cared about that stuff. No one told us."
They didn't go to federal court to claim they were unfairly treated. They went to Chapter 11 of NAFTA to a backroom hearing to claim $300 million against Canada because of the profits they claim they might have made had they been able to threaten the survival of the most endangered whale species on the planet. And in a two to one arbitration decision, Bilcon won. This is the worst of all the decisions yet, because it's the first time a foreign corporation has avoided going through a domestic court before going to the corrupt—and I will say corrupt, they are not fair, they are not neutral, there's abundant evidence for this—told me they have conflict of interest and you bet they do. These global arbitrators, and there's a handful of them, get $1,000 an hour for sitting in a hotel room and taking away the democratic rights of nations and giving damages to foreign corporations. They are global, ambulance-chasing, blood-sucking lawyers and they really should be ashamed.
We have a way forward. I want to say how grateful I am again to Frank Graves for pointing out where what we say resonates with so many people. So I just want to speak to justice issue for a moment. I think Canada has an opportunity right now, if we choose to push for it, to put into practice, as a large, industrialized, successful country, the prescriptions to end for all time economic inequality. We have a chance to talk to people like Nobel Prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz and say, "Come on up here and give us a hand." Let's see if we can't end poverty with a guaranteed livable income.
Stiglitz, by the way, gave an incredible presentation at the University of British Columbia last fall that I was privileged to attend and talk to him about investor-state agreements. He's passionately against the TPP, he said it's not a trade deal, it's about management of trade, and it's all in the interest of foreign corporations. But his work as an economist is worth grabbing, and picking up and reading about income inequality. He said, you know the prescription of the Reagan-Thatcher years is no longer ideological. One can't even begin to pretend that smaller government, lower taxes works. It is empirically a giant failure. It doesn't work. Look what it's done to the United States. Right now, this was a stat that Joseph Stiglitz shared that I hadn't heard, life expectancy in the United States is going down. For whom? For white men. They're dying more from suicide and addictions. This is not a good sign in a healthy democracy. The gap between the rich and the poor in one of Barack Obama's speeches, he said the gap between the rich and the poor gives us vertigo. Canada could start leading the way on this, too, by taking the prescriptions of the kind of economist who understands that the public sphere matters; that fair taxation matters; and that billionaires should pay more tax than the ladies that clean up their office.
I'm committed that before the next election, we ensure that the path to move off fossil fuels, not only in Canada but globally, has been set. That we've charted the course to a better horizon where we don't fear for our children's future, but know that we have protected it, and that we know that we have actually delivered for Canada the biggest reform to an unfair voting system, the biggest reform in democracy since women got the vote, the biggest reform that we can deliver before the 2019 election, and that's proportional representation, we can do it before the next election, and we can stop the the TPP. These are my three big priorities: Proportional representation, climate action, and stopping the TPP. And in all of that, I'm inspired every single day because all of you working out there together with me. I may be alone in Parliament, but I know I'm not alone. I feel your support, and I often feel your prayers, and I am deeply grateful, because together, as a party with 20,000 members across this country, mobilized, committed, working together tirelessly, because honestly, sleep can wait til when we've protected our children.
And we must speak out and defend human rights, and for that I am grateful to those who put us into a difficult debate that we will continue tomorrow, but thank God we're the kind of party that can openly discuss issues that should not be marginalized based on bullying and fear in the public space; to be afraid to say out loud there are human rights issues for Palestinians and we must hold the government of Israel to account. This is not something we should be afraid to say.
I'm sure I've forgotten something I kind of thought I might say, but I just want to close with the words of the Reverend Martin Luther King, because I think we need to know that the road may be long, but I think we're on the right track. Martin Luther King said, "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."

Skyports to develop test vertiport for UAM trials in Paris
Vertiport designer and operator Skyports is developing a test vertiport in Paris as part of trials to model an eVTOL flight; a significant step towards launching commercial AAM services for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The trials will help model an eVTOL flight in order to anticipate and confirm vertiport installation plans in the Île-de-France region.
Vertiport designer and operator Skyports is developing a test vertiport in France; a significant step towards launching commercial advanced air mobility (AAM) services in time for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The programme is part of the Re.Invent Air Mobility initiative led by French airport operator Groupe ADP, global mobility company RATP Group and Choose Paris Region, a French agency for business and innovation. This is the first development of its kind in Europe and is being supported by DGAC, the French Civil Aviation Authority, and EASA, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency.
The vertiport will be designed, built and operated by Skyports at Groupe ADP's Cergy-Pontoise airfield in Paris, initially serving as a technology testbed to provide a safe and realistic environment to enable the testing of boarding and disembarking operations, recharging batteries and vehicle maintenance, starting June 2022.
The creation of the vertiport forms part of a third campaign in a series of test projects that started in September 2020, when around 30 manufacturers were selected to carry out UAM tests on modelling and noise measurements; flight phases and integration into airspace; maintenance and recharging operations; and passenger routes. A landing and take off area, taxiways, parking stands and warehouse planning has been made available at the Pontoise airfield, and commissioning of this test area was recently marked by a number of trial flights: Skyports enabled a drone flight dedicated to logistics, notably for medical transport (blood bags, health kits, etc); Thales made a deployment in real conditions of its onboard anti-collision system inside Hélifirst helicopters; and Pipistrel performed a recharging operation, followed by a flight carried out using the Green Motion company's certified system, with the support of the French Federation Aviation.
Other test campaigns are a noise and vibration impact, with RATP Group, Bruitparif and the DGAC measuring several Volocopter flights in March 2022. The aim will be to quantify, predict and model the sound emissions of an eVTOL both close to and far away in order to meet acceptability criteria. Then comes a test of the proper integration of drones and eVTOLs into conventional air traffic, complying with all the necessary safety conditions, to ensure proper cohabitation with other aircraft. These tests will be carried out with the CORUS-XUAM consortium, a project financed by SESAR JU, under the leadership of Eurocontrol.
The integration of a vertiport within an existing airport site is challenging and complex. Aéroports de Paris/Groupe ADP chairman and CEO Augustin de Romanet says: "Our Pontoise airfield brings together a unique ecosystem around new air mobility, and the trial platform we are launching today is unprecedented in Europe. It will function as a concrete experiment to explore the field of possibilities of a decarbonised and innovative aviation, and to develop the low altitude aviation market (below 300 metres), which has been largely unexplored until now. In Pontoise, we will test all the components of urban air mobility. Groupe ADP will fully play its role as an aggregator of activities to facilitate the surge of new uses that reconcile a smaller environmental footprint, innovation and common utility."
Skyports' test vertiport will be equipped with a suite of technologies including biometric identity management, re-charging equipment, situational awareness capabilities and weather stations. The data collected during the testing phase will be essential for the development of AAM regulatory frameworks.
"Technology will play a critical role in ensuring the safety and operational efficiency of vertiports," adds Skyports CTO Ankit Dass. "The integration of technology is at the core of our vertiport design, development and operation. At Skyports we are developing our systems in collaboration with vehicle manufacturers, operators and leading aviation tech companies."
The main challenges for the development of this new technology concern acceptability, safety and the qualification of uses. Thanks to tests planned by numerous manufacturers over the coming months, among them Volocopter, Vertical Aerospace, Airbus, Pipistrel, Ascendance, Lilium, Joby and eHang, it will be possible to study different scenarios for pre-commercial services for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games based on two lines: the first between the Paris-Issy-les-Moulineaux heliport and the Saint-Cyr airfield; the second between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Le Bourget airports and Paris city, on a site to be determined.
The vertiport will be constructed using modular technology so that it can easily be relocated to a new location at the end of the programme, serving as the first commercial vertiport in France.
Luxaviation will connect Europe's regional AAMs with Edeis
Luxaviation and Edeis are to facilitate green operations across Europe's network of FBOs and, soon, vertiports, as both companies believe that regional routes will be the first connections to benefit from projected AAMs.
Skyports signs up parking partner for LA vertiports
Urban-Air and Munich airport progress eVTOL infrastructure
SEA and Skyports collaborate on Italian vertiport viability
Skyports and SEA Group anticipate deploying vertiports across Italy within the next few years. The first should open in Milan by 2026, in time for the winter Olympics; others will follow.


The mindset that cardio is the best way to burn fat and lose weight is quickly being replaced by lifting weights and high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and the results are speaking for themselves. From Tabata workouts to barbell strength training to sprint intervals, you need to be working in this high-level capacity to torch the stingy fat that won't go away.
Want the most obvious proof out there? Look at a sprinter and a marathoner next to each other. Which one do you want to look like? Not only can you burn the same amount of calories as traditional cardio in a remarkably shorter time, but you're building muscle at the same time, which is the key to burning fat.


Retaining that Aristotle's writings in regards to the wildlife comprise a rhetorical floor in addition to a philosophic middle, David Bolotin argues during this publication that Aristotle by no means heavily meant a lot of his doctrines which were demolished by means of glossy technological know-how. thus, he offers a few "case reviews" to teach that Aristotle intentionally misrepresented his perspectives approximately nature--a notion that was once regularly shared through commentators on his paintings in past due antiquity and the center a while. Bolotin demonstrates that Aristotle's actual perspectives haven't been refuted via glossy technological know-how and nonetheless deserve our so much critical cognizance.
Sextus Empiricus' Outlines of Pyrrhonism is among the most crucial and influential texts within the heritage of Greek philosophy. within the calls for of cause Casey Perin tests these elements of Pyrrhonian Scepticism as Sextus describes it within the Outlines which are of distinctive philosophical importance: its dedication to the quest for fact and to yes rules of rationality, its scope, and its effects for motion and corporation.
The much-anticipated anthology on Plato'sTimaeus—Plato's singular discussion at the construction of the universe, the character of the actual international, and where of people within the cosmos—examining all dimensions of 1 of an important books in Western Civilization: its philosophy, cosmology, technological know-how, and ethics, its literary elements and reception.
This preliminary quantity in a sequence of latest translations of Plato's works contains a normal advent and interpretive reviews for the dialogues translated: the Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Meno, Gorgias, and Menexenus. "Allen's paintings is particularly impressive. The translations are readable, lucid, and hugely actual.
6 There is, however, a great difficulty in reading Aristotle in this way. For although he is indeed a master at describing the world as it appears, and although he evidently sees this as one of his central tasks, he also evidently claims to be doing more than this as well. 7 Moreover, in his attempts to understand the perceived facts, he makes many assertions about what must exist and what must not exist even beyond the range of our perception. 11 Thus, Aristotle's natural science is not merely phenomenological, for it asserts, in various ways, that what lies beyond the range of perception is similar in character to what we do perceive; and it also asserts that this world is not merely an incidental effect of causes that might never have produced it, but a necessary and permanent product of the ultimate causes.
And since he could not therefore ignore the question of ultimate origins, he thought it prudent, to the extent compatible with his primary aim as a teacher, to tailor his presentation of these and related matters so as to mitigate the hostility of the authorities. The following studies will attempt to confirm this suggestion about Aristotle's manner of writing by examining his treatment of some important topics in the Physics and in On the Heaven. I will look, first, at his discussion of the principles of natural beings; then, at his teaching that there are final causes or purposes in nature; at his treatment of continuity in natural bodies and their motions; at his discussion of place; and, finally, at his account of the nature of light and of heavy bodies.
11. Physics, bk. q; On the Heaven, bk. A; Generation of Animals 731b18732a1; Meteorology 339b2830. 12. Wieland, for instance, acknowledges in his concluding remarks that the last book of the Physics, with its argument for the existence of an unmoved Prime Mover, goes beyond the scope of phenomenology. But he does not himself devote any thematic attention to this fact (Wieland, Die aristotelische Physik, 33538). 13. , trans. W. B. Baron, Jr. and Vera Deutsch (Chicago: Regnery, 1967), 8095.

Drumeo Gab Podcast
Are ya tired of hearing, "so, like, uhh talk to me about how you started playing drums" in drumming podcasts? I'm gonna say, probably not as much as the guests are. I dunno, I think it's better to cut to the chase and explore pinpoint moments in their lives by forming curiosities around my research :0 IF YOU ARE DOWN FOR THAT; WELCOME! (Side Note: I strongly believe that the best part of the podcasting experience for listeners is the ability to connect with the host. So, don't be shy :)

Drum Podcast
Jeremy Taggart (Taggart & Torrens, Our Lady Peace) - Hey BAHD! 0
"One of my youngest memories at four years old was him quitting drums in 1979, literally destroying his drum set."
Jeremy Taggart is a household name in Canadian music due to his twenty-one-year career with the iconic rock band Our Lady Peace. Taggart began playing with OLP at the age of seventeen and from there on out he experienced life on the road playing packed venues and making records. In 2014 it all came to an end for him with OLP and he decided to reinvent himself. Enter Taggart & Torrens podcast.
Their podcast has been downloaded (at the time of writing this) over four million times! They have toured their musical/comedy act, wrote a best-selling book titled "Canadianity: Tales From The True North Strong And Freezing" and they even released an album this year titled "Bahds". They have managed to create a buzz with their show by infusing strong Canadian flare that we Canucks can strongly relate to and a serious dose of comedy.
On a more personal note, to record this episode was an absolute honour. Given the fact that I am Canadian and grew up during the era in which OLP was in the Canadian music spotlight, Taggart was definitely a major influence to me growing up with drums. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed making it.
You Will Hear About….
Touring in Canada.
Mushroom Fish n'Chips and cowboy boots.
How the podcast started with Jonathan Torrens and everything they have worked on together.
The early days of Jeremy's drumming and starting with OLP.
Why Should You Listen?
First and foremost, this is just a fun and hilarious hang. Taggart & Torrens is a very casual and comical podcast, which I strongly recommend! I did want to capture the spirit of their program on this episode. A dash of interview amongst random conversation. There is by no means anything essential in this episode except for some good laughs.

All Cell Signaling Antibodies
The steady state phosphorylation of any given substrate is governed by the opposing activities of kinases and phosphatases. Protein phosphorylation systems are composed of at least three components: (a) phosphoproteins (b) kinases and (c) phosphatases, that dephosphorylate the phosphoproteins, thereby restoring the particular protein phosphorylation system to its basal stage.
Kinases and Phosphatases Signaling
Protein kinases function in tandem with specific phosphatases, enzymes that remove the phosphate group from phosphorylated serine, threonine, and tyrosine residues by hydrolysis. Based on cellular localization, phosphatases can be classified as transmembrane, receptor-linked or non-transmembrane/cytoplasmic and are essential components of the regulation of cellular signaling.

Phosphoserine Signaling
Approximately 400 of the 518 kinases in the human genome are serine/threonine specific protein kinases and approximately 40 serine/threonine specific protein phosphatases are encoded by the human genome. Given the involvement of these kinases in all aspects of cell signaling, it is not surprising to find that serine/threonine kinases are instrumental in many critical disorders including many cancers, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease. As a result, many drug discovery programs are specifically targeting serine/threonine kinases.

On Christian sex sites, anything goes, so long as you are married.
JoAnn Wypijewski
I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick [with] love. His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me. —Song of Solomon
Jelly Finger. $19. It is equipped with the new micro "Nitro" egg. The soft jelly slips on your finger and lets you have finger-tip control. Comes with a remote plug-in transparent battery controller. Size: 2″x.625″ Requires 2 AA Batteries. Please visit, The Marriage Bed [www.themarriagebed.com]…for a good site on marital intimacy and the use of this type of product in a Christian marriage. —Book 22: Intimacy Products for Married Couples
They bring their stories to The Marriage Bed, the espoused and affianced, joined in virtual conversation, posting psalms and parables, warnings and lamentations, narratives that are broken, contradictory, unfinished, because the way to love is hard sometimes, and because sex is a lot like religion in that way, enchanted and bone-crushing, a simple matter made strange, heavy with secrets, freighting souls with the need to tell.
X has been engaged to a man for three years; the wedding is nigh, and though they have saved themselves for each other, she is overflowing with desire, concerned that she might be dirty or lustful but worried more that her intended is neither. Y is married but lonely in a cold bed, his grief assuaged by faith alone, and his own hand's fleeting balm. Z is praising, grateful to the Lord for the graces of a large man, 30 years of climax through intercourse, and a childhood revelation—the charming cavort of teenage friends espied through a ceiling grate—that "left a lasting impression…[of] how fun and enjoyable sex could be."
Amen, amen. God is good. Enemy, get behind me! All who testify get a reply, often many replies, so that each thread of The Marriage Bed is a scroll, a call and response to make up for an education on sexual need and the ways of the flesh that private shame, organized religion, and the state denied to most of them. So Z is hailed but admonished lest it appear she endorses the sin of voyeurism. X is urged to learn before it's too late if her man is frigid. (No one suggests gay.) For Y there is only consolation, and for a hundred others—the boy of 19, betrothed in his heart since middle school, who questions the primacy of a contract as permission slip and proof of commitment when he and his beloved have already endured in sickness and in health; the single man fixated on scat and golden showers; the parade of brides-to-be wondering about lingerie and lube; the spouses seeking to arouse their mates—for all these there is scriptural guidance; gentle reproach; counsel against fetishes; endorsements for Victoria's Secret or Frederick's of Hollywood, K-Y, coconut oil, spit, or the products provided discreetly by Book22.com; medical advice; personal stories; reading lists; or detailed instructions, with recommendations on excellent stripping music ("#1 Crush" by Garbage, anything by Enigma).
The Reverends Paul and Lori Byerly of Austin, Texas, established The Marriage Bed to rescue sex from the porn industry and the shame-mongers of their own faith. Although distinguished by its kaleidoscopic approach to people's desires to express desire just so, theirs is a ministry shared by a vast array of Christian sex counselors, radio talk show hosts, authors, webmasters, itinerant healers, and entrepreneurs across the country. Like so many before, they have remade their God in their own image, to suit their own needs. Himself a voyeur of sorts, present in the bedchamber, seeing whether His creation is good, or not, this sex-friendly God has given an Eleventh Commandment: Christians, have more fun.
The list of "What's Okay, What's Not," as revealed to The Marriage Bed, gives the faithful broad license. They must shun porn, but are commanded to pleasure. They may enjoy oral and anal sex, toys and fantasies, "mild pain" through spanking, biting (so long as nothing becomes a fetish or substitutes for intercourse, and couples fantasize together, of themselves married and forsaking all others). They may study the numerous guides to intimacy and multiple orgasms by the Byerlys and other Christian authors, explore exotic positions, talk dirty, use condoms and other forms of birth control. They may slather their skin with chocolate body butter and Happy Penis Massage Cream, restrain each other with silken bonds, use blindfolds and swings, vibrators and pierced-tongue stimulators, penis extenders and dildos (though not those molded after real flesh). All this may be theirs if they are straight and married.
The Byerlys are both, and as the Reverend Paul writes, "You are married, or you are not. Kind of like you are alive or dead—there really is not much in between."
For the unmarried dead and the burning adolescent, one poster to The Marriage Bed suggests, "You can glorify Him with your sexuality by pure masturbation." It must be practiced for relief or biological clarity, not pleasure, and must be unaccompanied by lustful thoughts. Still, this is progress, even progressive. Recall that Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders was fired by Bill Clinton and described as "a sort of off-to-the-left, out-of-the-mainstream, embarrassing person" by abc's Cokie Roberts for saying in 1994 that masturbation was a reasonable subject for discussion in public school sex education. Twenty months later Clinton signed the welfare reform act, with a subsection that narrowed the range of discussable sexual subjects in federally funded schools to the propositions that "a mutually faithful monogamous relationship in the context of marriage is the expected standard of sexual activity," that "sexual activity outside the context of marriage is likely to have harmful psychological and physical side effects," that the only thing students need know about condoms and birth control is their failure rate, and that, given all the above, queer kids may proceed straight to hell.
Ten years and $1 billion later, this is the only national sex education policy in America. Research on its effectiveness is scarce, but not a single peer-reviewed study shows abstinence-only training has any impact on the age at which teenagers renounce their virginity. The highest expression of the abstinence ideology, however, the "virginity pledge," has been uttered by 2.5 million teens, and its numerology insults it: 88 percent of virginity pledgers have sex before marriage; on average they have it 18 months later than non-pledgers but are more likely to have unprotected sex and less likely to seek treatment for sexually transmitted diseases; 9 million stds occur each year among teens and young adults, and rates among those who've vowed to "Just Say No" are comparable with rates among others. Religious teens are less likely to have sex before they're 18, but this particular survey defined "sex" the way Bill Clinton does, as "heterosexual vaginal intercourse."
Across the country only 14 percent of school districts provide comprehensive sex education, but that too is constrained. Compared with teenagers in almost every other developed country, American teens have more religion, more partners, shorter relationships, less contraceptive use, more infections, more abortions, more babies.
Marriage hardly improves matters. The sex-ministry Christians whose more straitlaced coreligionists began the drive for abstinence training in the public schools in 1981 now look out across the landscape of wedlock and lament the husbands trolling for porn into the night, the wives passive in their beds, imagining sexual joy as the whimsy of romance novels. Beside those types, the scrolls of The Marriage Bed are positively liberating.
And yet they oppress. For in aiming to banish fear and guilt among the faithful, they merely displace those emotions—from the trembling bride to the fornicating teen or the single of any age warned to expect pain, sorrow, and lifelong sexual problems. In rolling out ideas for teaching children about sex that are more expansive than anything in school, they draw the magic circle of marriage with a larger, brighter line demarcating the even greater abundance of goodies reserved for those inside from the desert left for those beyond. In their embrace of oral and anal thrills, in their rejection of shame, they assume a vocabulary of desire that owes everything to gay liberation's unlocking of sex even as they slam the door on the notion that gays and lesbians have any right to sexuality. In encouraging straight women's sexual vitality, they project a familiar duo, the Virgin and the Whore, the latter sanctified as Wife, skilled in the use of a vibrating Jelly Finger, and urged in an essay by the Reverend Paul titled "How to Strip for Your Husband" to "finish your performance by letting him watch you enjoy a self induced orgasm. To drive him over the top, put a chair in front of him, sit down, put your feet on his knees, spread wide and masturbate. Bonus point for self penetration."
And so Leviticus meets Girls Gone Wild, an old story revamped. More power to the Christian wives if they want to lap dance, and to the Christian husband who asked if any of the ladies thought his wife might be turned on by his stripping for her wearing a tool belt and knee pads. But more power. In their songs of themselves there is the ghost of a time when they had no power to know or to feel, and no place to ask or tell or be told that sex is an unruly thing, complicated by love and need, intimately exchanged but socially shaped, improved by practice but colored by things that can't be bought or learned, offering wondrous pleasure but, then again, maybe not. Religion having conceded to them a little piece of that power, it patrols the ramparts of right loving the way it always has, comforting an elect by damning all others.


There are many apps and activity trackers: Nike +, Strava, Fitbit, etc.
Even when every app saves your activities, I have a couple of reasons you should save them in Evernote too.
My clients use different apps and if I want to check their progress, I have to try any app they use, to know better how each one works, I have to ask them to share their activities with me, and that´s a mess.
Even if you are not a trainer, you should try a few apps for a few weeks before deciding which one best suits your needs. After this process, why are you going to lose the data of the apps that you are not going to use anymore? you don´t have to, and the answer is really simple: Evernote. Save all your workouts and activities in Evernote so you have all of them in one place, which will save you a lot of time. Plus, you can edit these notes and add any additional info you want, tags, etc.
Maybe the best part is you don´t need to save your workouts manually. Integration apps like IFTTT or Zapier do it for you, connecting your favorite apps and saving you a valuable time.
As an example, today we´re going to connect Strava to Evernote and Strava and save any new activity.
First, go to ifttt.com and get started.
You may sign with Google or Facebook.
Search for Strava. Authorize IFTTT if needed.
A New Applet looks like this.
Then click "Create Trigger". We´re almost there.
You can customize your future notes, title, info included in the note, notebook, and tags.
IFTTT call all these "ingredients".
Click Finish and it´s done.
Every new activity will be saved in the selected notebook.


The main storm had blown through in the night and another was forecast for the afternoon, so with chains in sack in the back, we hit the road to Tahoe. Forest Route 5 (Mormon Emigrant Trail/ Iron Mountain road) through Sly Park was closed at the end where it meets Highway 88 due to snow, so we took Highway 50 figuring if the snow was too deep and chains were required, the most help we might find would be on 50 anyhow.
We parked at the Heavenly Gondola and made our way to Base Camp Pizzeria for lunch – the same (popular) Menu as Wally's in Cameron Park! The gondola was churning with skiers and we opted-out of that experience.
For the first time in many years there was snow on the lake-shore, and right outside our hotel door – so my wife made a snow angel.
We had a light late-lunch and retired for the night, anticipating the big Thanksgiving Dinner on Thursday – and it did not disappoint, with the best oysters I ever had – fresh and clean with not a speck of grit or brine, Alaskan crab legs, shrimp, Prime rib that melted in your mouth, a bit of turkey breast – it was a buffet of the absolute highest standard. And a bit of dessert.
Black Friday dawned cold but clear, and with the anticipation of a massive crowd-scene at the resorts, we packed our bags and hit the road again, homeward bound. Once again there was only light traffic in our direction, but as we approached Strawberry and later Kyburz, the on-coming traffic was clearly stacking up, and at Apple Hill it was a dead-stop traffic-jam going in the Tahoe direction, mainly because Apple Hill is a Christmas tree-cutting destination and seasonal attraction. Good to be home!
PS: Fidel Castro is dead! YEAH!!

Salpointe uses timely defensive stops to down Sunrise.
The Salpointe Catholic Lancers used big performances form Bijan Robinson and Mario Padilla to earn a spot in 4A title game.
On a cool night in Glendale, the top-seed in 4A, Peoria Sunrise Mountain, faced fourth-seeded Tucson Salpointe Catholic with an appearance in the state championship game on the line.
Early on, Sunrise Mountain took control, scoring two touchdowns in the first eight minutes for a quick 14-0 lead.
However, Salpointe found its footing with its running game.
First, the Lancers got a 60-yard touchdown run from Bijan Robinson. That sparked a string of 21 straight points for the Lancers.
The Mustangs were done in by turnovers and defensive lapses in the second half, which led to an eventual 49-27 victory for Salpointe.
Salpointe running back Bijan Robinson: The sophmore stud stepped it up for his team after they trialed 14-0. Robinson had runs of 60, 54, 26 and 20, all in the first half. He continued his success in the second half with an additional 10 carries and ended the game with over 200 yards on the ground.
Salpointe running back Mario Padilla: Feeding off his fellow running backs' success, , Padilla ripped off touchdown runs of 54 and 60 yards to ice the game. Padilla finished the game with more than 175 yards on the ground.
Despite the hot start for Sunrise Mountain and quarterback Keegan Freid, turnovers were their downfall. In the second half, Freid fumbled the ball twice in the red zone and three times overall.
Despite a slow start, Salpointe coach Dennis Bene knew the importance of staying patient.
"They don't call plays but (my assistants) were feeding me information and where like coach it's there. Just be patient (and) stay with it and they were right on."
Salpointe Catholic will carry this victory into the state championship, where they will meet Saguaro on Dec. 2 at the Arizona Stadium.

Call for heads to roll in radiology row
By Iain Ramage
Scottish Health Secretary Shona Robison.
Fury over home care shake-up as NHS managers accused of "breaching employment law"
An MSP has called for Scottish Health Secretary Shona Robison and Highland health chiefs to step down for failing to recruit vital specialists.
Frustrated consultant surgeons and doctors have vented their anger over the issue in unprecedented letters to the board.
Consultants and doctors at NHS Highland's Department of Medicine have expressed "significant concerns about the problems" in radiology at the region's main hospital, Raigmore in Inverness.
The crisis has surfaced in the run-up to an annual review of the service – on Friday – when Ms Robison will meet NHS Highland chiefs.
The board confirmed yesterday that it had received two letters – from consultant surgeons at Raigmore and from physicians in the Department of Medicine.
"Colleagues are expressing significant concerns about the problems currently being faced by radiology in NHS Highland, a spokeswoman said.
She cited "unprecedented pressure due to increasing demand" and a shortage of radiology consultants, stressing that it was "a national problem."
The spokeswoman said: "We've been actively trying to recruit. Currently, we have three vacancies out to advert. Unlike other boards experiencing similar problems we don't have any nearby alternatives."
The board considers the consultants' letters "measured," and said the consultants were "willing to work with the board to address the significant challenges".
While unsurprised by the letters, Conservative Highlands and Islands MSP Ed Mountain was saddened.
He said: "It reflects a problem across NHS Highland which the Health Secretary has failed to resolve. I'd be surprised if she was able to remain in position post the next cabinet reshuffle.
"And if the board had been trying for three years to deal with this, one has to wonder is they're ever going to resolve it and whether they should be considering their position as well."
Labour regional MSP Rhoda Grant said: "The Scottish Government need to get a grip of staffing levels. For too long they've ignored this, trying to save money."
A spokeswoman for the Scottish Government said: "Ministers are conducting the annual review of NHS Highland this week and will meet with the area clinical forum to discuss these concerns.
"Under this government, the number of consultant clinical radiologists working in NHS Scotland has increased by 45.1% to over 324."

Warm coconut oil until it becomes a liquid, and then place all ingredients, except chocolate chips, in a blender. Blend on high until smooth. Spread mixture into foil lined 8x8 pan. Freeze for about 15 minutes. While coconut mixture is freezing, melt chocolate chips. Spread melted chocolate over frozen coconut and then put back in the freezer until chocolate has hardened. Turn pan upside down on plate and remove foil. Chop the frozen dessert into pieces and store leftovers in refrigerator or freezer.
I didn't have an 8x8 pan, so I used a 9x9 instead but didn't spread the mixture all the way to one side.
I stored the pieces in a zip loc freezer bag and kept them in the freezer.
So delicious. Everyone liked them!
