Atom Araullo: "People who have little have the most to give"
Following a mission to Jordan, the UNHCR High Profile Supporter and journalist puts the spotlight on the Syrian refugee crisis, and draws similarities between the generosity of Jordanians and Filipinos.
By Sophia Dedace | 10 Aug 2018
UNHCR High Profile Supporter Atom Araullo invites Filipinos to stand in solidarity #WithRefugees and with the people of Syria.
After nearly eight years of war, conflict in Syria rages on, dashing the hopes of millions of refugees who dream of returning home when conditions are safe.
In a visit to Jordan, UNHCR High Profile Supporter and broadcast journalist Atom Araullo met with individuals and families who have found safety in this nation that has generously welcomed more than 667,000 Syrian refugees since conflict erupted in March 2011.
In Azraq camp, Atom met Eid Al-Zlefan who fled the rural town of Homs in 2016 with his family. Escalating violence forced them to leave everything behind: the children's schooling, the neighbors they loved, and even the sheep they tended. With little food and water, they risked a dangerous journey to Jordan for 20 days in the hopes of building a new life—away from the sound of bombs raining on their village.
"I miss Syria, I miss home. Home is dear to us, wherever we are from. But Syria is different now, and I am scared to go back and I worry that I will no longer find there the people I love. Now, after everything has changed and deteriorated, I am not thinking of even going farther than Jordan. The future of Syria is vague but we always hope for the best," said Eid.
"What I miss the most about Syria is something as simple as celebrating the Eid holidays, Valentine's Day, and Mother's Day there," added his wife Um Jihan.
Since their family's relocation to Azraq in 2016, Eid has been supporting community activities in his village. Amid the arid and hot conditions in the camp, he has also started growing a small patch of fruits and vegetables on a thin strip of soil beside his shelter.
When told that there are Filipinos are supporting UNHCR's work for Syrian refugees through monthly donations, Eid says: "Thank you so much for your care. We never forget our friends."
Life in Azraq Camp
The Syrian war has spurred the largest humanitarian and displacement crisis of our time. Today, more than 5.6 million are living as refugees in neighboring countries, while 6.6 million live internally displaced within the war-torn nation.

Community centers in Azraq camp offer a range of activities that foster an environment of learning, self-reliance, and innovation.

Currently home to about 36,000 Syrian refugees, Azraq was established in 2014 after the larger Zaatari Refugee Camp reached maximum capacity. It has four villages, each with their own schools, hospital, and marketplace. Azraq is also the first refugee camp to set up a solar plant.
Azraq's community support centers also offer a range of activities that allow refugees to rebuild their lives. Here, Atom met artists, children playing their favorite sport—football—and women and mothers learning new skills like sewing and even hairdressing.
After going around the camp for a full day, Atom observed that Azraq is a testament that on an otherwise barren desert, life can spring forth. Here, tens of thousands of people who escaped unspeakable horrors and violence can find healing and dignity.
"An important part of their rehabilitation is being able to access these services that make them feel that they are one community and that they are able to use their talents to help themselves and also help others," said Atom.
Generosity and compassion: What Jordanians and Filipinos have in common
Despite the flurry of activities within Azraq camp, what also needs attention is that more than 83% of refugees are in urban areas across Jordan. Several years into their displacement, these urban refugees have now entered a cycle of asset depletion, with savings exhausted, levels of debt increasing, and negative coping mechanisms observed such as reducing food intake, school drop-out, child labor, and even early marriage. © UNHCR/V.

To support the Jordanian government and the large volume of refugees it has admitted over the past years, UNHCR manages a Refugee Registration Center, the largest in the Middle East. A dedicated Helpline also receives an average of 7500 calls a day from refugees in the country, with trained agents helping them access protection, legal, employment, and health services. © UNHCR/V. Villafranca
However, with various conflicts and emergencies across the world that continue to drive displacement and therefore place additional strain on resources, funding for UNHCR's work in Jordan has slowly trickled in. Today, UNHCR Jordan's operations for 2018 is severely underfunded by 81%—a massive shortfall that puts at risk the hundreds of thousands of refugees that would need life-saving assistance and protection throughout the year. © UNHCR/V. Villafranca
While the devastation inside Syria is what comes to mind when the war is mentioned, it is important to note that most Syrian refugees are hosted in neighboring countries like Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey. UNHCR continues to advocate for support for host countries among the international community. As long as there is no political solution to the conflict, the international community must step up its assistance in the host countries.
Atom said that amid the tremendous pressure on Jordan's resources, what remained intact was the generosity and compassion that the Jordanian people have for families forced to flee.
"It's really astonishing that people who have little have the most to give. They don't hesitate to give help, accept refugees, and even give moral support. That is one of the things I witnessed from the Jordanians that reminded me of Filipinos back home."
"It's really astonishing that people who have little have the most to give. They don't hesitate to give help, accept refugees, and even give moral support. That is one of the things I witnessed from the Jordanians that reminded me of Filipinos back home," noted Atom, recalling Filipinos' rich tradition of providing humanitarian succor to refugee families across nine waves over the last century.
"The Philippines is a developing country, and despite that, Filipinos proved themselves to be really kind-hearted and generous and willing to lend a helping hand especially when called upon. And in a way, we can see how that kind of tradition and being open spans different cultures. We can see that in the Jordanians. That's all the more reason that we should extend our support in solidarity with Syrian refugees but also with the Jordanian people who are continuing to support refugees coming into their country," he said.
Standing together #WithRefugees
Inspired by what he witnessed, Atom said that the mission to Jordan has given him hope as forced displacement worldwide continues to hit record numbers.
"There's a lot of insecurity, and sometimes we feel like the world is breaking apart. But when you go to places like these—where people from other countries are working together to help each other out, to help people who are in need, to help people who have nothing to their name—this is how things should be done," said Atom.
"I choose to believe that this is the true nature of people and not the other extreme. A little compassion goes a long way," he concluded.
He ended his visit with a clarion call to stand in solidarity with Syrian refugees, in light of growing humanitarian needs."We'd like to thank all our supporters, our donors, and the people who have given so much for the refugees in Syria and also refugees in need all over the world. We can't thank you enough. We're here in Jordan and we can really see where all of the support is going. But the needs [of the Syrian refugees] are still growing an they need our continued support, so we're relying on your generous hearts."
After seven years of destruction and displacement, Syria remains the largest refugee crisis in the world. Stand #WithRefugees and with the people of Syria today.

Future Tenant premieres PGH Artist Exhibit, "New Order: Collage Now"
Published On May 18, 2016 | By Missy Schrott | The Arts
This summer, local Pittsburgh artists will explore a diverse range of topics through a common medium – the collage – in the coming exhibition, "New Order: Collage Now."
Beginning Friday, June 3, Future Tenant will host the month-long exhibit which features eight local artists, many of whose works are influenced and inspired by Pittsburgh culture.
"Bluster" – Knezovich
Each artist takes on his own perspective, uniting under the medium of the collage to shatter conventions, layer textures, and combine jarring ideas to tell new stories.
From Matthew Buchholz's humorous infusion of science fiction into history, to Kim Fox's patchwork tin map of the United States, New Order will bring together a fresh, exciting, and unexpected collection of art.
These accomplished artists will each bring a new flavor to the exhibit through an array of differing approaches, from charcoal on paper to a mishmash of wax, iron, and recycled debris.
"New Horizon no15" – Knezovich
Stephen Knezovich
Fifth generation Pittsburgher Stephen Knezovich uses language and history to tell a story through collage. In addition to visual art, Knezovich additionally works in writing, publishing, and filmmaking. His art is inspired by his interest in English and our once print-based culture, stating that images are like words–"if you arrange and rearrange them vigorously enough, eventually small narratives begin to appear."
Stephanie Armbruster
Armbruster
Cleveland native and Carnegie Mellon alumna Stephanie Armbruster relocated to Pittsburgh in 2001. The studio artist has a background in both graphic design and street art. Armbruster's piece in New Order: Collage Now is inspired by music culture and nightlife. She plays with fiction, reality, myth, and memory as she depicts elements of modern late night culture.
Knezovich and Armbruster's work will be displayed among the six other artists featured at Future Tenant's cutting edge art space, located downtown at 819 Penn Avenue.
A free opening reception will be held at Future Tenant on June 3 at 6PM along with complimentary beer and cider – as if you needed another reason to go check it out.

So, without further ado, here are answers to some of the questions I've gotten the most!
Startup Society teaches you absolutely everything you need to know to start a profitable online business and reach your biggest goals. It's the perfect mix of an online training program and a supportive, inspiring community.
Once you join, you'll get access to our membership portal, which includes a library of online training courses, access to our membership community, and a whole lot more!
You'll start by taking our Startup Success Quiz, which will guide you to understand exactly where you're at in the process of building your biz, and tell you what to focus on next.
Then, you'll have the opportunity to join us LIVE for Startup Success, our member-exclusive comprehensive online business course!
Throughout your membership, you'll continue to get support, encouragement, and accountability through our monthly mastermind group coaching and community.
I think the reason so many people have been asking this question is because it sounds like it should cost a bundle! But… it doesn't. 🙂 That's because I recognize that those who will benefit from the training the very most might not have a lot to invest.
So, while the value of a Startup Society membership is well over $3000, I've chosen to offer it all for just $33/month.
Nope, you can watch them at any time! We have members all over the world, so I knew it was important to offer the courses on a schedule that would work for everyone. Plus, you'll probably want to go back and review them over and over again!
Therefore, all of the training courses are comprised of pre-recorded videos + workbooks and other resources.
We also have LIVE mastermind sessions on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. These allow you to ask all your questions and get coached! But, if you can't make it live, that's okay too. You'll still have access to the recorded replays in the mastermind archives.
Let me start by saying… it's not for everyone. Startup Society is for motivated entrepreneurs who are ready to take action and build online businesses. If this sounds like you, then we'd love to have you join us!
Building anything meaningful (and sustainable) takes time, and building a business is no exception. We want members who recognize this and are committed to their goals long-term.
What if I can't decide whether or not to join?
I'd say… if it's not what you're looking for, you can always cancel. 🙂 We offer a flexible, cancel-whenever-you-like policy, because we'd never want you to feel stuck if it wasn't a great fit for you.
You have BIG dreams and you're ready to take action and make them happen. But getting started can be tough — especially when you don't know WHERE to even begin. Startup Society gives you clear action plans and all the tools you need for success.
See you in Startup Society soon!
I hope I can post this. Ecause I am having trouble signing in to Startup Society waiting list. Or a trial.
I get the reply that my yahoo.co.uk email is incorrect but it was accepted to download the Branding eBooK!!
Hope this works and you can help me sign up – Id last be to join ASAP!
Hi Ren, try this link: https://www.gillianperkins.com/startup-society-wait-list/ and let us know if you continue to have issues. We have members from the UK so I don't believe your e-mail should be a problem. Thanks!
I am in your Startup Society.
And…if you could have the videos and other resources categorized with timing to your Stepping Stones?
Stay healthy during your pregnancy.
Hi Bill! Yes, they are organized this way inside Start Up Society. Please email us if you need help finding something specifically.
Is there a way to make money if I live outside the US and I am not a US citizen? I have a s.s. # when I studied there. I am Panamanian and live in Panama, Central America. I am interested in a stay at home job, as proofreading or editing. Any suggestions?
Yes! You can still do this job as a freelancer. Best of luck!

Radio RSG ist das Lokalradio für Remscheid und Solingen und sendet im Bergischen Land (Nordrhein-Westfalen) auf den UKW-Frequenzen 94,3, 107,9 und seit August 2008 zusätzlich 92,2 MHz. Außerdem ist der Sender im Bergischen Land im Kabelnetz zu empfangen sowie weltweit über einen Internet-Stream.
Radio RSG ging am 30. August 1992 auf Sendung.

Inhalte
Radio RSG sendet sein lokales Programm montags bis freitags von 6 bis 10 Uhr ("Radio RSG – Die Morgenshow") und von 16 bis 18 Uhr ("Radio RSG – Feierabend"). Am Wochenende wird samstags in der Zeit von 8 bis 12 Uhr und sonntags in der Zeit von 9 bis 12 Uhr das lokale Format "Radio RSG am Wochenende" gesendet. Sportereignisse in der Region wurden bis 2020 meist sonntags ab 17 Uhr in der einstündigen Sendung "Sport am Wochenende", seit 2021 im "Sporttalk" meist montagsabends zwischen 18 und 19 Uhr im Studio zusammengefasst. Zu dieser Sendung sind auch häufig Interviewgäste im Studio vertreten. Von dem Sender sogenannte Spezialsendungen ("Radio RSG – Spezial"), wie etwa das Format "Talktime Gesundheit", werden in unregelmäßigen Abständen unter der Woche ab 18 Uhr ausgestrahlt.

Außerdem werden montags bis freitags in der Zeit von 5:30 bis 19:30 Uhr, samstags von 7:30 bis 13:30 Uhr und sonntags von 9:30 bis 12:30 Uhr stündlich etwa dreiminütige Lokalnachrichten ausgestrahlt –  montags bis freitags zwischen 5 und 10 sowie zwischen 14 und 18 Uhr zusätzlich mit Schlagzeilen aus aller Welt.

In der übrigen Zeit übernimmt Radio RSG das Mantelprogramm der radio NRW GmbH in Oberhausen, also auch die Weltnachrichten zur vollen Stunde rund um die Uhr sowie das Werbefenster kurz davor. Jingles und Drops bzw. Claims mit der Stationskennung "Radio RSG" werden außerhalb der lokalen Sendezeiten im Funkhaus in Solingen bei Bedarf automatisch durch ein Signal aus Oberhausen ausgelöst und meist durch das Ducking-Verfahren nahtlos in das laufende Programm eingefügt.

Wie alle privaten Rundfunksender in Nordrhein-Westfalen ist auch Radio RSG durch das Landesmediengesetz dazu verpflichtet, Bürgerfunk-Sendungen auf seinen Frequenzen auszustrahlen. Dabei handelt es sich um im Vorfeld aufgezeichnete Sendungen, die von Menschen oder Gruppen aus der Region erstellt und produziert werden. Solche Sendungen werden abends ab 21 Uhr (sonntags ab 20 Uhr) von Radio RSG ausgestrahlt.

Moderatoren
Die Morgensendung von Radio RSG moderieren jeweils zu zweit im zweiwöchentlichen Wechsel Chefredakteur Thorsten Kabitz mit Lisa Jülich sowie Ksenija Gursenko mit Sascha Preuß. Die Sendungen am Nachmittag und am Vorabend werden wechselweise von Tania Janke, Sascha Preuß oder der Chefin vom Dienst Alex Becker moderiert. Die lokale Ausgabe von "Radio RSG am Wochenende" wird vormittags im Wechsel von Daniel Morsbach oder Michael Höing (ehemals Neubert) moderiert.

Zu den ehemaligen prägenden Moderatoren zählen Jörg Bertram (Chefredakteur bei Radio Bonn/Rhein-Sieg), Volker Kutz (RTL), Michael Tobias, René Rabenschlag (WDR), Marc Heinisch, Timo Spicker (WDR) und Clara Pieck.

Einschaltquoten
Radio RSG ist das mit Abstand meistgehörte Programm in Remscheid und Solingen: Laut der aktuellen Elektronischen Medienanalyse (E.M.A. NRW 2015/I) schalten 35 Prozent der Remscheider und Solinger den Lokalsender ein. Die gebührenfinanzierten Programme 1LIVE (mit 21 %) und WDR 2 (mit 20 %) verzeichnen in den beiden Städten weiterhin deutlich weniger Einschaltquoten. WDR 4 bleibt laut Medienanalyse schon seit einigen Jahren konstant bei einer Reichweite von 17 %.

Die Verweildauer in der Region liegt aktuell bei 257 Minuten. Besonders populär ist Radio RSG bei den 30- bis 59-Jährigen. Mit mehr als 100.000 über 14-jährigen Hörern in Remscheid, Solingen und den umliegenden Städten ist der Sender kontinuierlich seit 1994 der beliebteste Radiosender. Die meistgehörte Sendung laut E.M.A. NRW ist "Radio RSG am Morgen" – ein Viertel aller Bewohner im "RSG-Land" wachten 2015 mit den Morgenmoderatoren Thorsten Kabitz / Tania Janke und Clara Pieck / Sascha Preuß auf.

Die Elektronische Medienanalyse wird von unabhängigen Instituten im Auftrag der NRW-Lokalradios durchgeführt. Zur Auswertung der aktuellen E.M.A. (2015/I) sind landesweit über 27.000 zufällig ausgewählte Personen in Telefoninterviews zu ihrer Radionutzung befragt worden.

Empfang
Die von Radio RSG genutzten Sender auf 94,3 MHz (Standort Solingen, Fernmeldeturm am Zentral, 200 W) und 107,9 MHz (Standort Remscheid-Hohenhagen, 100 W) ergänzen einander. Während die Frequenz 94,3 MHz auch in den Nachbarstädten und Nachbarkreisen gehört werden kann, ist der Empfang der Frequenz 107,9 MHz auf das Remscheider Stadtgebiet beschränkt, zumal es hier zu erheblichen Störungen durch andere Sender kommt. Darum wurde nach mehreren Frequenztests im August 2008 die zusätzliche Frequenz 92,2 MHz in Betrieb genommen, die ebenfalls vom Standort Remscheid-Hohenhagen mit 100 W gezielt in östlicher Richtung strahlt um die Empfangslücken zu schließen.

Hinzu kommen Frequenzen im Kabelnetz. In Remscheid und Wermelskirchen hört man Radio RSG auf 105,55 MHz, in den Städten Solingen, Haan, Hilden, Langenfeld, Leichlingen und Monheim auf 104,25 MHz. Außerdem bietet Radio RSG wie alle restlichen Lokalradios in Nordrhein-Westfalen auch einen Livestream im Internet an.

Radio RSG hat als einziges Lokalradio auch Sendungen weltweit über Kurzwelle ausgestrahlt. Am Neujahrsmorgen hat der Sender über Jahre hinweg die Frequenz 6015 kHz des Kurzwellenzentrums Jülich mit 100 kW Leistung für Neujahrsgrüße genutzt. Die Moderatoren Jörg Bertram und Michael Tobias erhielten körbeweise Sendebestätigungen aus aller Welt. Ein Hörer hatte die Sendung sogar in Australien verfolgt.

Q: How to search if a value exists in table I am trying to delete records via GUI. I have a text input in my section mapped with property (.EID) which intakes employee ID (for example 1) and when i click a button 'delete' that particular record should be deleted from DB. I have written an activity that successfully deletes.
But I want to display a message if the entered employee ID is not present in the table. For example if I have already deleted record 1 and the user again tries to delete record 1 it should display a message saying "employee doesn't exist, please enter existing ID". I have used obj-open->obj-delete->commit to delete the records.
Please help me how to achieve this.
I have attached screenshot of my GUI, for example i have already deleted record no 2, so when user again enters 2 and clicks on delete button it should display a message saying "no such user".

A: You can launch a local action(flow action) on the delete button.
In the pre-processing of the flow action call one activity. Pass the employee id as parameter to the activity.
In the activity do obj-browse on the table and add filter on employeeid column.
Store the count of obj-browse in a property. If the count of the obj-browse is greater than 0 then delete the record.
The section of flow action will display  2 messages based on when condition. One message will become active when count is greater than zero which will display Account deleted and another message will get active when count is zero which will display account does not exist.

For parenting reasons that deny all logical explanation, both M and I led extremely sheltered lives as children. We were brought up in families where outdoor pursuits were actively discouraged in favour of academic excellence.
Unbeknown to us, both of us harboured a sense of adventure deep within our geeky bosoms. This innate, dormant personality trait manifested in the form of a love of rambling at the first available opportunity.
Thus began our love affair with The Lake District (Lakeland, The Lakes). Nestled in the north-west and often referred to as the most beautiful corner of England, The Lakes have served as a back-drop for many a memorable family ramble.
Despite our sometimes differing parenting styles, we concur on one important point. As parents, we need to lead by example when it comes to leading a well-balanced life.
A life in which time spent as a family in outdoor pursuits is as cherished as that spent reading a book. Where gadgets, luxuries and popular trends have no place in defining our happy. A life in which we make time to connect with ourselves, each other and our surroundings.
We find that we head back to The Lake District time and again to explore and to unwind. Nothing beats a long, challenging walk along spectacularly scenic routes to recharge your batteries.
Here are five of our favourite family walks in The Lake District around Lake Windermere. They are moderate grade rambles for the entire family, and should be okay to undertake for anyone with average levels of fitness.
A popular climb that takes you 1800 feet above the village of Ambleside to breathtaking views across Lake Windermere, this walk is strenuous but well laid out. You can stop to admire Stockghyll Force on the way, or start and finish in the Bluebell Woods, thus avoiding roads altogether.
A long, gentle and exciting walk that takes you through the village of Ambleside beyond the north end of Lake Windermere to the charming village of Grasmere. The route climbs to Rydal Cave, a 19th century slate quarry site, before skirting Rydal Water. Carry on walking, and you will be faced with a choice. To climb up to Loughrigg Fell, walk along Loughrigg Terrace or take the low-lying path to Grasmere. Whichever path you choose, you will be rewarded with gorgeous views over Grasmere and delicious gingerbread in the village.
Another gentle, long walk that meanders along the western shore of Lake Windermere. You can picnic along the way and visit Wray Castle on the northern end of this walk, before taking a boat back to Brockhole or Waterhead on the eastern shore.
If you are looking for maximum results with minimum effort, this is the walk for you. This involves a short, at times steep climb to the Orrest Head viewpoint, with stunning views over Lake Windermere. The walk starts opposite the Windermere Tourist Information Centre and is sign-posted, making it easy to find.
A pleasant, sometimes steep and muddy walk that takes you nearly 450 feet above the little town of Bowness-on-Windermere. You can always finish this walk with a stroll back through the town or a visit to the Beatrice Potter and Peter Rabbit Museum.
These are five of our favourite family walks in The Lake District. Do you have a favourite? Which would you choose?


JuanaMikels.com: John Piper on Spiritual Benefits of Summer & Wednesday's Prayer Girls & Linky Party is Live Now!
John Piper on Spiritual Benefits of Summer & Wednesday's Prayer Girls & Linky Party is Live Now!
Today we had our last Bible study meeting with the women of our church and friends until next fall as our study this year on the book of John came to a close. We had a marvelous time of sharing in our small groups of what the study had meant to us. Afterwards, all the small groups gathered together for a corporate time of testimony and sharing from anyone in the study who wanted to declare to all how the book of John had impacted her.
One dear woman shared how one year ago today, she was in the emergency room having suffered from a panic attack and deep depression. She stood up to give God the glory for restoring her mind and body. Another friend stood up and gave God praise for seeing her through a difficult loss in her life, for today would have marked the 7th birthday of her first child whom she lost in childbirth.
Another friend stood who just weeks ago gave birth to a precious little girl who was born with an "undetectable" amount of a virus in her body although the mom had contracted a virus that could have manifested in birth defects. She knew God would give her the grace to encounter whatever He allowed. She trusted God and had His peace throughout her unusual pregnancy.
I, too, am so grateful for God's word as God's love letter to us. May we read it everyday to shine the light on our path. My good friend, Emily, who leads the study challenged everyone to stay in God's word this summer and to not neglect digging into the Bible. Her hope for us was not to "take the summer" off from studying His word, but on the contrary, to dig deeper and to know Him more dearly by the end of the summer.
She suggested at the very minimum to read a few verses a day, and to write down what the Lord taught us in those verses. She said to write down daily something we were thankful for. She reminded us of the 7th chapter of John that we had studied earlier this year in which the story of the man's house and the storm is told. We want to build our house on the rock so that when the storm rages and the winds blow, our house will not fall down! The rock is Jesus Christ!
Emily closed us today with a great challenge from the words of John Piper to his church. He implores Christians to avoid spiritual laziness and to instead focus on the spiritual benefits of summer.
"Every season is God's season, but summer has a special power.
Jesus Christ is refreshing, but flight from him into Christless leisure makes the soul parched. At first it may feel like freedom and fun to skimp on prayer and neglect the Word, but then we pay: shallowness, powerlessness, vulnerability to sin, preoccupation with trifles, superficial relationships, and a frightening loss of interest in worship and the things of the Spirit.
Don't let summer make your soul shrivel. God made summer as a foretaste of heaven, not a substitute. If the mailman brings you a love letter from your fiancé, don't fall in love with the mailman. That's what summer is: God's messenger with a sun-soaked, tree-green, flower-blooming, lake-glistening letter of love to show us what he is planning for us in the age to come — "things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and which have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love him" (1 Corinthians 2:9). Don't fall in love with the video preview and find yourself unable to love the coming reality.
Jesus Christ is the refreshing center of summer. He is preeminent in all things (Colossians 1:18), including vacations, picnics, softball, long walks, and cookouts. He invites us in the summer: "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). This is serious summer refreshment.
Do we want it? That is the question.
Christ gives himself to us in proportion to how much we want his refreshment. "You will seek me and find me; when you seek me with all your heart" (Jeremiah 29:13, RSV). One of the reasons to give the Lord special attention in the summer is to say to him, "We want all your refreshment. We really want it." -from article by John Piper "Setting Our Minds on Things Above in Summer" (May 31, 1995).
What will you do to help you stay in His word this summer?
Tomorrow is "Wednesday's Prayer Girls & Share Your Blog Link-Up" on my blog, but I'm going to open it up live a little early today on Tuesday!

In their decidedly small-scale manner, Philly-via-New York foursome Palm, co-fronted by Kasra Kurt and Eve Alpert, are here to prove that rock music is still mutable in compelling ways. Their convergences of rhythm and interplay are inventive, the end result more physical than brainy. It's particularly accessible in dosages of psych-pop like "Composite," from their new sophomore album, Rock Island. With the Spirit of the Beehive and Scrunchies.


Fighting polio has become a challenging job in in the areas where it remains. This disease that is all but forgotten in the United States still presents a threat to children elsewhere.
An Illinois State alum works on the front lines of the effort to eradicate polio. Alan Janssen '75 is a health communications specialist for the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Global Polio Eradication Initiative. Janssen spends several weeks a year in some of the most remote villages in the world to support polio vaccination programs. For his work in Nigeria, he recently received the CDC's Excellence in Frontline Public Health Service—International award.
The CDC is part of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative whose other members include Rotary, UNICEF, the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The initiative had tremendous success in eradicating polio in many places, like India, where the disease vanished almost three years ago, Janssen said. But the disease remains endemic to three countries—Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan—and has cropped up again in the Horn of Africa.
"It's generally in areas that have inadequate vaccination programs such as remote areas, areas that are vaccine hesitant, or areas that have security issues," said Janssen, a native of Pekin who lives in the Atlanta area.
"In efforts to overcome resistance to polio vaccination hesitancy, religious and traditional leaders have been given a special role in addressing misconceptions of vaccination. These trusted leaders often meet with polio vaccine resistant parents and encourage them to vaccinate their children," Janssen said.
In several areas the polio vaccine has been incorrectly characterized as anti-Islam. The top Islamic leader in Nigeria, the Sultan of Sokoto, strongly supports the vaccination program and actively supports polio vaccination, speaking frequently about the importance of polio vaccination.
Janssen said he visits remote villages where people still live in mud huts with no electricity or wells, and where life hasn't changed much in hundreds of years.
"You really are reaching out into areas and presenting new ideas to these villagers, so it gets to be a challenge from time to time," he said.
He recounted a time he had to speak to 300 Koranic teachers in rural Borno State, Nigeria, which has traditionally been an area with polio vaccine resistance.
"All of a sudden I realized we had little in common; I remember thinking, 'Oh my gosh, what am I going to say to this audience?'" he said.
Janssen tried to find common ground. He told the teachers that he, like them, once taught at schools in the middle of cornfields, and he tried to encourage them to promote the vaccination efforts by telling them how important teachers are to the health of their students and their future children.
It is times like those that Janssen pulls from his experiences as a teacher in rural Illinois and as a health education major at Illinois State.
Janssen has worked at the CDC for the last 23 years. Before that he worked in rural health care development in Wichita, Kansas. He said his job provides a great opportunity to a make a difference in the lives of children.
"I think we have the ability to do that with vaccination in terms of preventing disease, at least infectious diseases globally," he said.
Janssen meets with political, traditional, and religious leaders in order to promote polio eradication. His time in Kansas proved handy once, when he met a deputy governor in Sokoto State in northwestern Nigeria.
After the government shutdown ends, Janssen plans to travel to Nairobi, Kenya, to support the communication efforts in the countries in the Horn of Africa that have experienced recent outbreaks of polio.
"I have the opportunity to work with people around the world, and what you find is that there are a lot of people who are really committed to trying to improve the health and lives of the folks in their countries," he said.
Janssen's ties to the University remain strong. He met his wife, Janette (Eicken) '76, on Illinois State's Quad, and he is a leader of the Atlanta Area Alumni Network.

This week we've selected four business development jobs at architecture firms available on Dezeen Jobs, including vacancies with Bjarke Ingels' architecture studio BIG and Heatherwick Studio.
Bjarke Ingel's architecture firm BIG is looking for a business development manager to join its office in Copenhagen, Denmark. The practice has recently completed an affordable housing development called Dortheavej Residence in Copenhagen, which has 66 new homes for low-income residents.
Thomas Heatherwick recently designed two residential towers on either side of New York's High Line park, which feature barrel-shaped windows and gridded exteriors. The British designer's practice Heatherwick Studio has an opportunity for a contracts manager to join its practice in London.
One of British architect David Adjaye's most notable projects is Dirty House, an art studio and apartment building in Shoreditch that is painted black with an illuminated roof. The architect's firm Adjaye Associates is seeking a business development manager to join its London office.
Bennetts Associates is recruiting a creative and ambitious marketing coordinator to join its London studio. In 2016, the practice completed its extension of London's Grade II-listed Shaftesbury Theatre, creating new office spaces and adding a weathered steel serrated box on top of the roof.


Spirit of the Game sets Ultimate apart from other competitive team sports. For over 30 years, Ultimate has flourished, reaching a highly competitive level, without the use of referees. In Ultimate, the honor system works. Sure, human nature rears its ugly head from time to time - just as in any sport, just as in life. Yet, one of the many beauties of Ultimate is how, even amid the most difficult of situations, utmost graciousness is allowed to meet that challenge head on. Through this balance, Ultimate players are free to demonstrate the most honorable and the most joyous sides of human nature in sport.
1. The golden rule: treat others as you would want to be treated. Spirited games result from mutual respect among opponents. Assume the best of your opponent. Give him or her the benefit of a doubt. You would want the same for yourself. But if you are thick-skinned, do not assume that your opponent is. Maybe you should think of this rule as, "treat others as you would have them treat your mother."
2. Control: SOTG takes real effort. SOTG is not just some abstract principle that everyone adopts and then games run smoothly without effort. Close calls are made in tight games. Hard fouls are committed. SOTG is about how you handle yourself under pressure: how you contain your emotionality, tame your temper, and modulate your voice. If you initiate or contribute to the unraveling of spirit, the concept falls apart quickly. If you act to mend things (or at least not exacerbate the situation) by following (1) above, the game heals itself.
3. Heckling and taunting are different. Ultimate has a long tradition of good-natured heckling. Heckles are friendly barbs, typically from non-playing spectators. Heckling can be fun, but taunting is unspirited and wrong. Harassing remarks after an opponent's foul call or close play are NOT heckling: they are abusive taunts which create unpleasant playing conditions and often escalate to acrimonious disputes.
4. SOTG is compatible with championship play. It is a fallacy to argue that the stakes are so important that some aspect of SOTG can be cast aside. Time and again, great teams and star players have shown that you can bring all your competitive and athletic zeal to a game without sacrificing fair play or respect for your opponent.
5. Don't "give as you got." There is no "eye for an eye." If you are wronged, you have no right to wrong someone in return. In the extreme case where you were severely mistreated, you may bring the issue up with a captain, tournament director, or even lodge a complaint with the governing body. If you retaliate in kind, however, a complaint may be filed against you. We recall point (1): treat others as you would have them treat you, not as they have treated you. In the end, you are responsible for you.
6. Breathe. After a hard foul, close call, or disputed play, take a step back, pause, and take a deep breath. In the heat of competition, emotions run high. By giving yourself just a bit of time and space, you will gain enough perspective to compose yourself and concentrate on the facts involved in the dispute (was she in or out; did you hit his hand or the disc; did that pick affect the play). Your restraint will induce a more restrained response from your opponent. Conflagration averted, you may resume business as usual.
7. When you do the right thing, people notice. When you turn the other cheek, you know you've done the right thing. You may not hear praise, there may be no standing ovation, but people do notice. Eventually, their respect for you and their appreciation of the game will grow.
8. Be generous with praise. Compliment an opponent on her good catch. Remark to a teammate that you admire his honesty in calling himself out of bounds. Look players in the eye and congratulate them when you shake their hands after a game. These small acts boost spirit greatly, a large payoff for little time and effort.
9. Impressions linger. Not only does the realization that your actions will be remembered for a long time serve to curb poor behavior, it can also inspire better conduct. Many old-timers enjoy the experience of meeting an elite player who remembers their first rendezvous on the field and recalls the event in detail. A good first encounter with an impressionable young player can have considerable long term positive impact.
10. Have fun. All other things being equal, games are far more fun without the antipathy. Go hard. Play fair. Have fun.

See also Naive set theory for the mathematical topic.

Naive Set Theory is a mathematics textbook by Paul Halmos providing an undergraduate introduction to set theory. Originally published by Van Nostrand in 1960, it was reprinted in the Springer-Verlag Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics series in 1974.

While the title states that it is naive, which is usually taken to mean without axioms, the book does introduce all the axioms of ZFC set theory (except the Axiom of Foundation), and gives correct and rigorous definitions for basic objects.  Where it differs from a "true" axiomatic set theory book is its character: there are no discussions of axiomatic minutiae, and there is next to nothing about advanced topics like large cardinals. Instead, it tries to be intelligible to someone who has never thought about set theory before.

Halmos later stated that it was the fastest book he wrote, taking about six months, and that the book "wrote itself".

Absence of the Axiom of Foundation
As noted above, the book omits the Axiom of Foundation (also known as the Axiom of Regularity).  Halmos repeatedly dances around the issue of whether or not a set can contain itself.
p. 1: "a set may also be an element of some other set" (emphasis added)
p. 3: "is  ∈  ever true?  It is certainly not true of any reasonable set that anyone has ever seen."
p. 6: " ∈  ... unlikely, but not obviously impossible"
But Halmos does let us prove that there are certain sets that cannot contain themselves.
p. 44: Halmos lets us prove that  ∉ .  For if  ∈ , then  − {} would still be a successor set, because  ≠ ∅ and  is not the successor of any natural number.  But  is not a subset of  − {}, contradicting the definition of  as a subset of every successor set.
p. 47: Halmos proves the lemma that "no natural number is a subset of any of its elements."  This lets us prove that no natural number can contain itself.  For if  ∈ , where  is a natural number, then  ⊂  ∈ , which contradicts the lemma.
p. 75: "An ordinal number is defined as a well ordered set  such that  for all  in ; here  is, as before, the initial segment  ∈   < }."  The well ordering is defined as follows: if  and  are elements of an ordinal number , then  <  means  ∈  (pp. 75-76).  By his choice of the symbol < instead of ≤, Halmos implies that the well ordering < is strict (pp. 55-56).  This definition of < makes it impossible to have  ∈ , where  is an element of an ordinal number.  That's because  ∈  means  < , which implies  ≠  (because < is strict), which is impossible.
p. 75: the above definition of an ordinal number also makes it impossible to have  ∈ , where  is an ordinal number.  That's because  ∈  implies  = s().  This gives us  ∈  = s() =  ∈   < }, which implies  < , which implies  ≠  (because < is strict), which is impossible.

Errata
p. 4, line 18: "Cain and Abel" should be "Seth, Cain and Abel".
p. 30, line 10: "x onto y" should be "x into y".
p. 73, line 19: "for each z in X" should be "for each a in X".
p. 75, line 3: "if and only if x ∈ F(n)" should be "if and only if x = {b: S(n, b)}".

Frank Capra's 1928 newspaper film was online at YouTube until the poster's YouTube account was closed because of complaints of copyright infringement.
Plenty of newspaperman stereotypes already in action in 1929 — alcohol, bad marriages and a smart-aleck attitude when dealing with the boss. The star reporter is played by Robert Armstrong, who four years later went off in search of a very large ape named "King Kong."

Almost Home: How Yayoi Asoma Paints From Memory by Sophie Landres
Added on August 7, 2013 by Shona Masarin.
This essay was written in conjunction with Yayoi Asoma on view at CUE Art Foundation October 16 - November 29, 2008.
"Scientists have for the first time recorded individual brain cells in the act of summoning a spontaneous memory, revealing not only where a remembered experience is registered but also, in part, how the brain is able to recreate it.[1]"
Shaped like a seahorse and nestled deep in the forebrain, the hippocampus possesses the neurons that memory and visualization share. Neurologically speaking, seeing is no different from remembering, just that "as time passes, memories are consolidated, submerged, perhaps retooled and often entirely reshaped when retrieved later." [2] In an age reverent of technology, human memory (so prone to error) increasingly refers to photographic documentation and the computerized memory banks it created. Efficient as they may be, these memory crutches are incapable of replicating the personal experience of memory, which scientific discoveries describe as a more painterly optical experience. This is an argument as much for rethinking our dependency on technology as it is for the layered acrylic paintings of Yayoi Asoma, which open in drifting sheets of half-remembered domestic scenes. With well-fed, almost salivating brushstrokes, her large (up to 9 feet tall and 18 feet wide), unpeopled houses are comprised of multiple, colliding perspectives, as if the objects were made of vapor and the architecture was mapped by a wondering child.
Starting with snapshots, Asoma, like David Hockney before her, meticulously pieces together photographic collages of the suburban houses where she has lived. By adjusting perspective, fogging what her mind does not remember, obscuring details, and photoshopping until the compositions click, the homes are given depth beyond what the camera had recorded. These assemblages serve as sketches for the paintings-blueprints to support bold releases of paint. The largeness of scale provides the artist with room for expressionistic gestures and allows the viewers to enter without dwarfing their own sense of physical self. Thus, though working from flat photographs, her surfaces become utterly yielding and ductile. Like memory, her process is mysteriously subjective, visually delirious and deeply intimate. It enables her to conjure images of her former homes, not as they are or once were, but as she remembers experiencing them.
Asoma's palette is committed to what she calls "the light or colors of memory." Sun-bleached white, pond green and stone dominate along with dustier shades of pink, blue and black. Light reflects off some surfaces and renders others transparent. In the exterior shots of 2 Pondfield (View from the Breitches) (2007), late-summer sun drenches side paneling and patches of yard beside shadowed pines and murky windows. Despite the impossibly tight and fractured angles of the house and the blurring of its many junctures, the painting remains surprisingly lucid and full of realistic details. The same can be said of 2 Pondfield (Interior) (2007) which is a long panel depicting the interiors of several rooms combined. It is abundant with minutiae folded upon themselves, relics from different times experienced simultaneously in the mind. Among all the confusion, a sofa cushion is slumped from the weight of someone who just left the living room. Focusing on such particularities catches the memory in the act of resurging but before it comes into perfect focus.
The interior paintings are more frenetic and suggestive of an unobtainable pursuit. The compositions are choppier and the spaces are somewhat suffocated with activity. This is in part due to the patterning of multiple snapshots that Asoma uses to recreate the experience of being there. 2 Pondfield (Interior) (2007) is a long panel in which fractals of furniture, drawers, walls, and windows reoccur at a frantic pace. Taking it all in is like searching for something in a dreamscape or sifting one's memory for evidence that time's entropic principles have removed. Many objects take on characteristics of the things around them. A varnished coffee table, for example, is smothered in colors that create a more vivid sense of transparency than the window it reflects. Still, the anxiety level is remarkably low. Calm colors and soft edges allow for the detachment one feels towards mundane surroundings.
The possibility of inhabitance further helps the viewer navigate these unstable environments with tranquility. Inside the unreasonable architecture, the eye collects evidence of a lived-in, homey environment. Though the ceiling of 97 Bayard (2006) sits on a quaking slant, one does not feel at risk of head injury. Instead, the painting emulates the upward glance of a body in motion. That effect is the hook in Asoma's work. As the phenomenologist Gaston Bachelard noted in The Poetics of Space, "inhabited space transcends geometrical space." [3] By allowing our gaze to be interrupted by thoughts of what is around the corner, Asoma's illogical compositions trigger the real sensation of experiencing a fading memory.
Similar to how Neo Rauch houses nostalgia in deeply shadowed and paradoxical environments, Asoma deals with nostalgia less for the comfort of suburbia than for a return to spaces that can accommodate an oneiric existence. Solid walls often become meta-canvases for playfully non-representational brushstrokes. In this context, abstraction is used to reconstitute sensory experience. It functions as a visual simile for memories that have neither words nor shape. We feel the effect of time moving through these still environments. It is not with the pummeling rush of overlapping activity as the Futurists envisioned it, but with a gradual recession of the past and an emergence of the present.
By dealing with the acceleration of time, Asoma's paintings inadvertently allude the inevitable moment when we are no longer a part of it. Art often makes the comparison between the erosion of buildings and that of the human mind or body. When Ed Ruscha was asked why he annually re-photographs Every Building on the Sunset Strip (1966), he spoke of it as a desire for immortality. Equating Los Angeles' changing urban landscape with a body in decline he said, "...it's cancerous and ultimately fatal. I wish time would stand still."[4] Gordon Matta-Clark similarly used forgotten architecture as a metaphor for the departed. Like Matta-Clark's Splitting (1974), Asoma's house paintings are like portraits of the psyche. Rooms are cut to hit nerve-endings that might spark a sunken memory. In this manner, forgotten memories and structures are salvaged or shattered in tandem.
Asoma believes that home is where bodies cohabitate with consciousness; that houses are inherently wired with a circuitry for summoning memories. Her paintings serve as illustrations for the way we spatially navigate these mental and physical terrains. They are to be experienced as if looking through the smoke of neurons fired in the distant past. Though content to be in her houses, we don't quite know what we are doing there. It is familiar yet reinvented, just like the idea of home.

This article highlights the dire consequences that famed Alabama sports artist Daniel Moore faces for his attorney's misunderstanding of the Eleventh Circuit's record excerpts rules.
In this interesting case involving Homeowners' Associations, restrictive covenants, and what actually is an acceptable driveway, one of the issues was disposed of on appeal because it was not raised first to the trial court. Grove Hill Homeowners' Association, Inc. v. Rice, [Ms. 2081093] (Ala. Civ. App. Feb. 5, 2010).
The unique scenario of where the trial court judge renders a judgment just before his term of office ends, but the judgment was not entered until after the judge's term ended, was presented in Gilliam v. Gilliam, [Ms. 2080856] (Ala. Civ. App. Feb. 5, 2010). The Court of Civil Appeals concluded that, to be valid, the trial court must both render judgment and direct entry of judgment by the clerk prior to leaving office. Further, the Court of Civil Appeals held that an order is valid even if filed on a legal holiday, but that the trial court erred by not holding a hearing on a post-judgment motion that had merit.

Kish Land Company, LLC v. Thomas et al.
In Skerlick v. Gainey, [Ms. 2080673] (Ala. Civ. App. Feb. 5, 2010), the Court of Civil Appeals held that a party waived the ability to challenge the sufficiency of the evidence on appeal because the party did not renew its motion for judgment as a matter of law at the close of all the evidence.

Lab: Budgets and Boards @ WeWork State Street
What function does the annual budget play in your organization? What decisions should a board make in setting or approving an annual budget? Although budgeting is a central duty for many boards, the answers to these questions can vary between organizations and different perspectives can lead to confusion and conflict. This Learning Lab will explore several frameworks for organizational budgeting and practices that can make the budget a more useful tool for planning and accountability throughout the year. This will include the processes of creating, approving, monitoring, and amending a budget.
Executive Directors & Finance Staff
Board Members & Finance Committee Members
How board and staff can create, approve, monitor, and amend a budget;
How your budget can be used as a tool for planning, reporting, control, and accountability; and
Who among board and staff hold responsibility for these functions.

Lab: It's Not All About the Give/Get @ WeWork Monroe Street
A superb board member brings a combination of time, treasure, and talent to an organization. So why do we continue to evaluate and prospect board members strictly on financial capacity? If a board of directors is to reflect the community it serves, the sector must consider more equitable models of assessment.
By considering the entire scope of what an organization's board of directors contributes in a year, organizations can ignite a sense of self-governance that increases committee participation and reduces stress on the Executive Director – all while meeting or exceeding board contribution goals.
In this workshop, you will learn:
To streamline your board of directors' roles and responsibilities in the organization's annual work plan;
To reduce board anxiety around giving capacities and prospecting new donors in their networks;
To create a framework for an equitable board of directors that is welcoming to marginalized groups (socioeconomic, gender identity, race, accessibility, etc.); and
To design a points-based assessment model that's not all about the give / get

Manie Robinson
Sports Columnist
TAMPA, Fla. — If it never happened, Mike Williams does not know exactly where he would be right now. Yet, he is almost certain that he would not be in Tampa, Florida.
He would not still be the top receiver on the Clemson University football team. He would not be on the University of Alabama's scouting report. He would not be preparing for the College Football Playoff National Championship Game.
Williams most likely would be closing his rookie season in the National Football League.
Last year, Williams was projected as one of the top NFL prospects. He was expected to declare for the draft at the conclusion of his junior season.
"Through fall camp last year, I told everybody in our room, 'Y'all enjoy Mike Williams this year because he's going to be gone,'" Clemson co-offensive coordinator and receivers coach Jeff Scott recalled.
Scott expected Williams to follow former Clemson receivers Deandre Hopkins, Sammy Watkins and Martavis Bryant, who all departed as juniors.
"I thought Mike was going to be the next guy," Scott said, "because he really put himself in that position to have a great year."
Williams' plans were diverted on the first series of the season. He stretched daringly to catch a pass in the end zone, but he collided with the base of the goalpost. He fractured a vertebrae in his neck and was forced to redshirt the remainder of the year.
Williams missed Clemson's run to the national title game. He agonized with compassion as his teammates suffered a five-point loss to Alabama. With intense resolve and a resilient sense of humor, Williams recovered swiftly.
He restored his dominance, reclaimed his spot atop draft boards and retrieved the experience the injury denied him.
"It's just special," Williams said Saturday morning during the College Football Playoff Media Day. "It means a lot. It's just a special moment. Just being here now, being able to play. It's special. I'm soaking it all in."
"To not get a chance to play and be a part of it (last year), that was tough, because you don't know if that opportunity will ever come back," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. "I'm very happy for him that he gets to play in this game and be a part of this moment, and hopefully the confetti will rain down on him when it's over."
Locked in: Clemson's Venables has passion for the game
Clemson's confident defense faces taller task
Williams was never able to sit down Saturday morning during media day. He was in high demand for the entire hour. He graciously flashed his wide smile for national television cameras, a horde of writers and a crowd of zealous fans.
Williams flashed that same smile even when it was stiffened by a neck brace.
"A couple of weeks after he hurt his neck, he was in the locker room running around, playing with everybody. I thought he was ready to play," Clemson running back Wayne Gallman said. "Mike's focus is always to have fun. In every game, you never see him get rattled. You never see him nervous. Mike's just different."
"He has an appreciation of being healthy," Swinney said. "I've never seen a guy so happy to go and run and dive for a pass and roll on the ground."
Williams' humor and cheerful spirit helped him not only endure the injury but discover an opportunity within it.
"I gained some knowledge of the game. I started to study defenses," Williams said. "That was the main part of my game I had to improve in, and that's what I did."
Williams also utilized the redshirt year to add 15 pounds of muscle.
"Early in his career, like a lot of receivers, he wanted to run around a lot of those (defensive backs)," Scott said. "Now, he realizes you got to run through them."
Williams leads Clemson this season with 90 receptions, 1,267 yards and 10 touchdowns. Williams may have matched those figures last year, but he also earned an honor that he would not have achieved last season.
A degree.
Williams graduated in December with a bachelors in sociology.
"Maybe if I didn't get hurt, I wouldn't be here right now. I guess God wanted me to get my degree," Williams said with a laugh. "Everything happens for a reason."
"God never says oops," Swinney said. "He would have been a first-rounder last year. But it wasn't God's timing for him. He had to sit and watch, and I think he's a lot better player than he would have been this time last year. He has a deeper level of appreciation for his opportunity to play, for the privilege to play."
Clemson compiled 554 yards and 40 points against Alabama last year. Adding Williams to the operation may not instantly increase that output, but the Tigers hope it will change the outcome.
"This is the part that I missed the most," Williams said. "I wanted to be out there helping my teammates. We lost the national championship, and I feel like I could have contributed. The goal was to get back— and to win it."
