A team of Step Rock swimmers took to Morrisons in St Andrews last month to help shoppers with their bag packing, raising an incredible £1260!
The club are so very grateful for the generosity of the local community who donated, and to Morrisons Manager Sue Woodcock for her support. The record amount raised will help towards the ongoing development of the club and swimmers in its 90th year. In June, the club are hosting their very own 90th Anniversary gala at Michael Woods Sports centre in Glenrothes, with swimmers taking part from all over Scotland which will prove to be an exciting fun packed day.


In the introduction to his commentary on the Epistle to the Romans, Luther famously describes justifying faith in this way: "Oh, it is a living, busy, active, mighty thing, this faith; and so it is impossible for it not to do good works incessantly" (translation by J. T. Mueller). Indeed, saving faith is not some inactive quality or condition of the heart that passively exists deep down inside without also affecting the way one thinks, talks, and acts. A true, living faith will produce good works (James 2:17, 20, 26). This is how a Christian shows his faith to others—"I will show thee my faith by my works" (James 2:18; see also Matthew 5:16)—as well as also providing evidence for himself that he is a genuine Christian—"Hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His Commandments. He that saith, 'I know Him,' and keepeth not His Commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth His Word, in him verily is the love of God perfected; hereby know we that we are in Him" (I John 2:3–5). It is the Lord's love, who first loved us (I John 4:19) that moves true Christians, out of love for Him, to serve Him gladly and willingly (I John 5:3; II Corinthians 5:14–15).
One of the fruits of a living faith is the willingness to do as the Lord, through the Apostle Jude, exhorts us, namely, "earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints." Now "the faith" to which Jude here refers is not the belief of the heart—the subjective faith, or trust, of the individual believer (fides qua creditur), as in Romans 3:28—but is, instead, that which is believed—the objective teachings of the Christian faith (fides quae creditur), as in Galatians 1:23 and Ephesians 4:5. This faith, the body of Christian doctrine, had been delivered to "the saints" (the believers) through the prophets in the Old Testament and through the evangelists and apostles in the New Testament; and this faith has been preserved by the Lord down through the ages on the pages of Holy Scripture. However, "the faith which was once delivered unto the saints" was scarcely known at the time that Luther was born into the world. Why? For one thing, most of the people who thought that they were Christians had been utterly deceived by their religious teachers to believe that forgiveness and salvation must be earned by the works and worthiness of men—the exact opposite of what the faith that God delivered to the saints teaches. Another thing that contributed to the general spiritual ignorance of that time was that the Bible was basically inaccessible to the common people. Bibles were not found in homes, but in universities and monasteries; and they were generally available only in the Latin translation (the Vulgate).
Contending earnestly for the faith means fighting for it—struggling vigorously against all that would undermine it or distort it. While not physical in nature (II Corinthians 10:3–4), such contending for the faith is an intense and real battle to resist being drawn away from the truth into the ways of sin and false doctrine. The spiritual enemies against whom we must contend are the ones that the Lord consistently warns us about in the Scriptures, namely, our sinful flesh, Satan, and the opponents of the truth in the world around us. Concerning his ongoing battle with his own flesh, the Apostle Paul says: "I keep under my body ['beat it up'—Greek], and bring it into subjection, lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway" (I Corinthians 9:27). Because the old man of sin is completely corrupt (Romans 7:18), the carnal mind naturally sets itself against God (Romans 8:7) so that natural man neither understands nor values the saving doctrines of the Christian faith (I Corinthians 2:14). The Christian, therefore, must continually contend against anti-Scriptural thoughts and feelings arising out of his flesh, which would lead him away from the blessed teachings that God has delivered to His people for their faith and life (see Romans 7:14–23; Galatians 5:17).
With regard to our fight against the devil, we Christians are told in Ephesians 6: "Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God" (vv. 11–17). It is imperative for us to use that spiritual armor and weaponry; for when we contend for the faith against Satan, we are not wrestling against a flesh and blood opponent (v. 12), but against a vicious adversary who is far more powerful than man, who invisibly stalks us Christians looking for opportunities to deceive us (I Peter 5:8–9; John 8:44). His cunning "Yea, hath God said" (Genesis 3:1) has been used over and over again through the centuries to pull men away from the faith once delivered to the saints (Revelation 12:9); but with the grace and power of God on our side (Romans 8:31–32; 37), we can successfully resist this deadly enemy and put him to flight (James 4:7).
So also against the unbelievers—the children of the devil (John 8:38, 44), the children of this world (Luke 16:8)—God wants us to contend earnestly for the one true Christian religion based upon His Word. Such contending includes rebuking errorists who violate the teachings of the Bible (Ezekiel 33:8–9; Ephesians 5:11), turning away from their lies (Romans 16:17; I Timothy 6:20), and, in spite of their opposition, holding firmly to the faith once delivered to the saints (II Timothy 1:13). It is not surprising that we would have to contend for the faith against open blasphemers of the Lord. But it might surprise some Christians to learn that there are times when they should also contend for the faith against other Christians. Even our spiritual brethren (because they too have the sinful flesh) may be used by the devil in his efforts to pull us away from the Savior and His holy Word, as Satan caused Peter to be his messenger in tempting Jesus (Matthew 16:21–23). Thus it is important for us to work at maintaining "the unity of the Spirit" (Ephesians 4:3) in our fellowship by using "the Word of Christ" in "teaching and admonishing one another" (Colossians 3:15–16). Of course we would expect erring brethren to receive the correction of God's Word and to remove any offenses they have given. But what about those who steadfastly refuse to be corrected with the Scriptures, but still represent themselves as being Christians? The way that the Bible tells us to contend against them is to "reject" them (Titus 3:10) and "shun" their teachings (II Timothy 2:16), "withdraw" ourselves from them (I Timothy 6:3–5), "mark" and "avoid" them (Romans 16:17). This, however, is the exact opposite of what the vast majority of people in outward Christendom today do when faced with such opportunities to contend for the teachings of the faith delivered by God to the believers of old.
The sin of unionism—the joining in religious work and/or worship with those who adhere to or tolerate false doctrine—is so common nowadays; and contending for the full truth and purity of God's holy Word is typically regarded as being futile and even contrary to the spirit of Christian love and brotherly toleration. Futile, because it is believed that purity of doctrine and oneness of faith are impossible to attain (despite what the Bible says in John 8:31–32, I Corinthians 1:10, etc.); unloving, because it is believed that Christian charity would be tolerant of false opinions (despite what the Bible says in Matthew 16:6–12, I Corinthians 13:6, etc.). In fact, it is generally regarded to be unloving and judgmental even to label opposing doctrinal views as being "false," instead of accepting them as legitimate differences of interpretation. What lies at the root of such unionistic opinions is a denial of the perspicuity of Scripture (that the Bible is clear and easy to be understood, as we read in Psalm 119:130), as well as a failure to distinguish between Godly unity among spiritual brethren and sinful unions among and with the heterodox. The unity that God desires and commands His people to have is oneness in doctrine and practice (John 17:20–21; I Corinthians 1:10)—not an outward union with those who hold to or tolerate false doctrine, which the Lord forbids in His Word (II Corinthians 6:14–18).
But can the full truth of the Christian faith ever really be known? Absolutely; but this knowledge can only come through the Scriptures. Jesus declares: "If ye continue in My Word, then are ye My disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:31–32). This passage reminds us who is the Author and Giver of "the faith which was once delivered unto the saints"—our God and Savior, Jesus Christ—and it describes the spiritual blessings that are conveyed to us through His doctrines: We are brought to a knowledge of the truth through which we are freed from doctrinal error, as well as from the slavery and consequences of our sins (I Timothy 2:4-6). If we understand these points, we should have no trouble understanding the importance of clinging to the doctrines of the Christian faith, defending the same, and fighting to keep them pure and uncorrupted by fleshly errors, which would only hide the truth from us and take from us the blessed freedom that Jesus gives through the Gospel (John 8:31–32; 36) .
True Christians, as a fruit of the faith worked in their hearts by the Holy Ghost, respect and love the words of their Lord and Savior (John 8:47; 14:23). It may seem strange, therefore, to see so many who call themselves Christians tolerating other so-called Christians taking liberties with and even perverting the doctrines recorded in the Bible—putting private interpretations upon passages of Scripture contrary to II Peter 1:20. Due to the influence of the devil, the world, and their flesh, many have been deceived into thinking that the only errors that really need to be fought against are the ones that directly undermine the grace of God in Christ or that deny the doctrine of the Trinity and other primary fundamental doctrines—thinking that errors in other points of Scripture can be safely permitted. The Apostle Paul, however, warns of the danger of even the smallest amount of false doctrine, which will spread and bring dangerous consequences if Christians neglect to contend for the true faith. "A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump" (Galatians 5:9). "Shun profane and vain babblings, for they will increase unto more ungodliness. And their word will eat as doth a canker" (II Timothy 2:17).
The thing that really motivates a Christian to fight for the pure doctrines of Holy Scripture in all points is "the love of Christ" (II Corinthians 5:14)—the Gospel of God's grace in Christ Jesus. Appreciation for the Word of Grace is what moved Luther to contend so vigorously against the Romanists, who sought to destroy the blessed comfort of the Gospel by getting people to trust in things that could in no way save them—things such as their own works, the intercession of the saints (especially Mary), plenary indulgences purchased with money, and a host of rituals invented by the Roman Catholic Church to give false comfort to consciences burdened by sin. Perhaps the most famous example of Luther contending for the faith is the courageous stand that he took at the diet in Worms, Germany—boldly declaring his God-wrought intention to cling firmly to the doctrines of Scripture no matter what the earthly consequences of such a stand might be. Also at the Marburg Colloquy, Luther showed his willingness to fight for the doctrines delivered to the saints when he refused to yield even the smallest amount on one single word of Christ—the word "is" in His institution of the Lord's Supper, "This IS My body…this IS My blood." Furthermore, on a regular basis, Luther contended for the faith in the sermons that he preached, in the classes that he taught, and in the many books and pamphlets that he wrote. "For [Luther], theology, in addition to being instruction, also was and remained a battle for the truth and a defense against the assaults of the devil. In one of his final speeches at the opening of a disputation, he lapsed from Latin into German: 'It will always be this way; we will always have to fight' [WA 39:266, lines 15–16]" (Brecht, Martin Luther: The Preservation of the Church, p. 133).
You and I are greatly blessed to have the faith that was once delivered to the saints, in its full truth and purity, taught in the Bible classes and proclaimed from the pulpits of each congregation of the Concordia Lutheran Conference, and of those congregations in fellowship with us. Just consider what a great treasure that is! Consider also how rare that treasure is nowadays! However, just because we have this correct faith set forth in our churches does not mean that we have no need to "contend for the faith" as Jude exhorts us, because of the continuous attacks of the devil, the world, and our flesh. Now if we really value the doctrines of the Christian faith—in response to God's awe-inspiring love for us in the Gospel of Christ—then we should certainly be willing to fight vigorously to preserve it. May the Lord graciously bless us as we earnestly contend against our spiritual enemies to maintain each and every blessed doctrine of the Christian faith in its full truth and purity—in the same pristine form in which it was delivered by God to the saints of old!

Melbourne Documentary Film Festival - Meet curator Betty Milonas
July 06, 2016 by Carmela Baranowska
The inaugural Melbourne Documentary Film Festival will be held 9-11 July 2016. We begin a series interviewing the festival's curators. Here we speak with Betty Milonas. More info:
What does the Melbourne Documentary Film Festival mean for Melbourne?
Betty: Melbourne offers a variety of music, film and art-related festivals that the public enjoy attending. Though we are currently lacking Melbourne's own documentary film festival that allows filmmakers the opportunity to screen and promote their films. We want to support the film industry with a particular focus on documentaries.
The festival is a 3 day competitive event that offers a variety of documentaries and a creative film schedule that appeals to a broad audience. I think the festival is a great opportunity for us to watch world-class Australian and international documentaries in Melbourne. The documentaries encourage the public to learn, to connect, and engage into thought-provoking conversations on various themes, ranging from health, political, sports, music to environmental issues.
This year will be the first year of the film festival. What are some of the highlights?
Betty: The film festival presents exciting and interesting documentaries from local and international filmmakers who will premier their films in Melbourne. There's a great collection of short and features directed by filmmakers from different backgrounds, including: international, locals, women, LGBTI, film students and Aboriginals.
One of the main highlights of the film festival is the diverse range of films that touch on music, environmental, mockumentary, comedy, sport and personal stories. For instance, Good Night Brooklyn by Matthew Conboy is an entertaining film capturing the last underground venue for music and art in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (NY).
Melbourne Guide to Living by Sam Gould and Chloe Christodoulou offers a comedy-style documentary presenting the city's culture and people. On a compelling note, Death by Design by Sue Williams traces the environmental consequences of our daily usage of digital devices such as smartphones.
What did you find interesting about the submissions?
Betty: I found both the short and feature documentaries presented a range of interesting and compelling themes. During the selection process, it was exciting to watch and discover the diverse and talented Australian and International filmmakers.
It was interesting watching submissions from Australian filmmakers who captured a variety of personal stories, social and environmental issues that reflect upon our own community. For example, The Coffee Man by Jeff Hann is a personal and entertaining documentary about Sasa Sestic's passion to serve the perfect coffee and his journey to compete for Australia at the 2015 World Barista Championships.
It was great to see submissions from local filmmakers who now have the opportunity to showcase their film at the Melbourne Documentary Film Festival. Em Baker's Spoke follows the journey of three young cyclists from San Francisco to Orlando, capturing the stories of fellow cyclists killed on American roads. Inside Fighter by Nick Barkla presents a real Melbourne story of boxer Frank 'The Italian Stallion' Lo Porto's mission to fight for the world title in America.
What type of feedback have you given the filmmakers? How does that work?
Betty: The curators provide constructive and positive feedback to all filmmakers after watching their documentaries. The idea is to create an open, supportive and personal dialogue with the filmmakers by writing feedback for each documentary we watch. Often the feedback includes a response about the content, the artistic and/or the technical qualities presented in the film such as editing and cinematography.
Have the documentaries surprised or challenged your point of view?
Betty: Yes, there are a number of documentaries that did challenge and improve my outlook relating to health and environmental issues. For instance, A Billion Lives by Aaron Biebert tackles a complex and compelling theme of vaping and tobacco industry that leaves the viewer questioning the role of corporations and government.
Additionally, I found the environmental and health-related documentaries provided an in-depth and honest insight about our surroundings and even the food we eat. Sustainable by Matt Wechsler and Annie Speicher's is a great documentary on the American food system and sustainable agriculture group. The documentary makes us question what does sustainable food actually mean, and also prompt us to consider our role in supporting our local farmers.
What are you looking to achieve in the film industry and as curator?
Betty: Coming from an art curatorship background I often study the artworks, artists, the curatorial theme and the layout of the exhibition. As a curator you want to organise an exhibition that will connect with the audience, creating an engaging and entertaining experience. I found working as a film curator, we are looking at films that will also connect with the community, creating a sense of excitement and intrigue.
Working on a film festival the aim is to select and screen films that will educate, entertain and appeal to a diverse audience. We want the viewer to enjoy the film and to also form a personal connection with the documentaries, creating thought-provoking or fun conversations. From a curatorial viewpoint, it was exciting watching the different documentary styles and techniques used to produce short and feature film.
As a film curator, I want to promote and support documentary filmmakers, who have their own unique storytelling, and recognising their individual voice and cinematic-style. Most importantly, the aim is to acknowledge the filmmaker's dedication, and also award the best films in the documentary film sector.
What have you enjoyed most about being a curator?
Betty: I enjoyed watching the submissions we received throughout the year and also identifying the common themes the filmmakers are capturing at the moment. It was fascinating to see how documentary is also another art form, not just about addressing social issues in a linear storytelling manner. Many of the documentaries took a different approach to tackling difficult issues such as Bullied to Death by Jo Coda, tells the story of bullied victims through an avant-garde style.
It was also great working on the Festival's Schedule and to include local and emerging filmmakers into the film festival, providing them the opportunity to screen their films for the first time.

Friends of the Robert Crown Center
Friends of Robert Crown Center raise another $271,000
June 22 event celebrating July groundbreaking surpasses $250,000 goal.
Friends of the Robert Crown Center (FRCC) announced Monday that its June 22 Groundbreaking celebration surpassed its $250,000 goal, raising more than $271,000. The campaign to date has raised over $11.4 million, surpassing the original $10 million goal last October and stretching toward a new $15 million mark.
"We would like to thank our sponsors and the more than 130 people who attended the event in the tent. The rain was not enough to dampen the enthusiasm of so many Evanston families," said Daniel Stein, President of Friends of the Robert Crown Center (FRCC), the 501(c)3 organization partnering with the City of Evanston and Evanston Public Library to build the facility. ABC7Chicago anchor Ravi Baichwalserved as master of ceremonies.
Meeting the $15 million stretch goal is critical since staff notified city council on May 21 that issues with poor soil quality, the cost of steel due to ongoing trade war affecting supply, public art costs and larger contingency plans added over $4.5 million to the cost. Friends of Robert Crown Center will continue to fundraise to cover those cost overruns, attempting to hold taxpayers and city programs harmless.
The $52 million+ project includes a new branch library where neighborhood kids can receive tutoring and mentoring while expanding Internet access to families who don't have it at home. In addition, the new Robert Crown Library, Turf Park and Community Center will upgrade the pre-school, which serves over 100 Evanston families and will allow dozens more children to get quality, affordable child care close to home.
550 families, businesses, foundations and organizations have donated to the project, including selling 212 personalized bricks at $500 each.
"Through gifts large and small, over 550 Evanston institutions, businesses and families, are saying one thing loud and clear about the new Robert Crown Library, Turf Park and Community Center – it's happening!" concluded Stein.
Robert Crown campaign hits $11 million raised.
For Immediate Release: Contact: Pete Giangreco
February 16, 2018 312-543-4097
On track to reach stretch goal of $15 million by year's end.
Friends of the Robert Crown Center (FRCC) announced Friday that the campaign hit the $11 million raised mark a month earlier than projected, and is on track to reach its stretch goal of $15 million.
"There is a tremendous momentum behind this project. Donors large and small see the potential to educate minds, build not just muscle but the confidence of our children, and bring all kinds of families together in Evanston's New Crown Jewel" said Daniel Stein, President of Friends of the Robert Crown Center (FRCC), the 501(c)3 organization partnering with the City of Evanston and Evanston Public Library to build the facility.
A big year-end small donor push and two new Lead Gifts propelled the campaign to $11,123,998 in cash and commitments as of February 15.
FRCC is proud to announce a $250,000 Lead Gift from the Lewis-Sebring Family Foundation, a well-known Evanston-based foundation focused on improving youth services and education at all levels. The Foundation was a major catalyst for the McGaw YMCA's Sebring-Lewis gym and MetaMedia center, as well as the new Y.O.U. facility and dozens of other Chicago and Evanston causes. The other new Lead Gift came from a currently anonymous donor.
"The Lewis-Sebring Family Foundation is the gold standard of philanthropic organizations and we are proud that the New Robert Crown project has won their support," added Stein.
Stein also said while donors appreciate the creation of two brand new full sheets of ice, a new gym double the size of the current one, and Evanston's first-ever publicly available turf fields, expanding educational and creative opportunities is what's fueling much of the support at this point in the campaign.
The $46 million+ project includes a new branch library where neighborhood kids can receive tutoring and mentoring while expanding Internet access to families who don't have it at home.
In addition, the new Robert Crown Library, Turf Park and Community Center will upgrade the pre-school, which serves over 100 Evanston families and will allow dozens more children to get quality, affordable child care close to home.
The campaign has successfully solicited 513 gifts from 452 families, businesses, foundations and organizations, including selling 190 personalized bricks at $500 each.

Beacon Academy pledges $500,000 to Crown Center
By Sonja Nordahl on January 10, 2018 - 10:54am

A rendering of the planned new Crown Center
The fundraising effort behind building a new Robert Crown Center got a big boost today, with a $500,000 pledge of support from Beacon Academy, the Montessori-based high school located in downtown Evanston.

Dr. Raju Ghate, treasurer of the Friends of the Robert Crown Center, the non-profit group raising funds to help pay for the new facility, says such landmark gifts have helped propel the new Crown Center "from a dream to a reality."
The Beacon gift will be spread over seven years. The school has also committed to renting significant portions of athletic and community space for the first five years with an intention to renew for a second five years.
Beacon Academy head of school Jeff Bell
"Beacon Academy is proud to be a part of Evanston and proud to to fully participate in Evanston community life," says Jeff Bell, head of school at Beacon, which is based in the Rotary International Building on Sherman Avenue. "This is a visionary project that will benefit all Evanstonians for generations."
The gift will be recognized with prominent signage for the school inside the new facility's gymnasium.
Lawrence Hemingway, director of the city's Parks Department, says the increased capacity at the new Crown Center will mean the city will be albe to add Beacon to the programming schedule while still fully accomodating all other user groups.
A year ago, Northwestern University made a $1 million pledge to the Crown project in return for a similar assurance of access to the facility.
Friends of Robert Crown was founded in 2016 with an initial fundraising goal of $3 to $5 million. So far it has raised $10.3 million and is aiming for $15 million.
The original Robert Crown Community Center was built 43 years ago, funded by a significant donation from the Crown Family. It remains Evanston's most-used sport and wellness facility.
Construction on the new Robert Crown Center is scheduled to start next summer, with completion by fall of 2019.
The current building won't be torn down until the new building is done.
Beacon Academy announces $500,000 pledge for new Robert Crown Center
School Also Commits to Multiyear Space Rental Agreement with City
EVANSTON, IL – (January 8, 2018) – The Friends of the Robert Crown Center have secured a transformative $500,000 capital commitment from Beacon Academy in support of the new Robert Crown Community Center, Ice Complex, Turf Fields, and Library.
Beacon's sponsorship-level gift represents a strong statement of civic and community support by the independent Evanston-based Montessori high school. The gift will be spread over seven years, and will be recognized with prominent signage inside the new facility's gymnasium.
In addition to their capital pledge, Beacon has also committed to supporting the new Crown Center by renting significant portions of athletic and community space time slots over the building's first five years, with the intention to then renew for a second five years. The school will also use the new facility and park for students to participate in community engagement activities and public service projects.
"Beacon Academy is proud to be a part of Evanston and proud to fully participate in Evanston community life," said Head of School Jeff Bell. "This is a visionary project that will benefit all Evanstonians for generations, and we are excited to stand with the City and Library to support area families and strengthen our community."
As a stipulation of their gift and rental agreements, Beacon's leadership team required assurances that no other community groups or organizations which currently use the Crown Center would see their access or usage hours decreased in the new building as a result of Beacon's usage. According to Lawrence Hemingway, Director of the City's Department of Parks, Recreation, and Public Services, the new facility's increased capacity and improved features will enable the City to meet this requirement, adding Beacon Academy to the programming schedule while still fully accommodating all other user groups.
Friends Board Treasurer Dr. Raju Ghate praised the school's leadership and stressed the inspirational effect of their participation. "We are so incredibly grateful for Beacon's generosity. It's landmark gifts like this that have helped propel the new Crown from a dream to a reality. This kind of giving inspires other donors at all levels. Families see these respected pillar organizations all coming together in support of a single cause, and they realize that this thing is really going to happen. We're going to do this. All of us together, as one community."
Beacon's investment provides the latest evidence of the increasing momentum of the Crown project and the fundraising campaign supporting it. After establishing and far surpassing an early fundraising goal of $3 to $5 million, the Friends have raised more than $10.3 million, with an aim toward a new stretch goal of $15 million.
Friends of the Robert Crown Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization founded in 2016 to spearhead community fundraising efforts for the construction of a new Robert Crown Community Center, working in partnership with the City of Evanston, the Evanston Public Library, and many local athletic and community groups.
Beacon Academy is an independent school serving grades 9-12 with a curriculum based in Montessori principles and culminating in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Beacon students experience a learning community that inspires self-motivation and personal challenge and celebrates intellectual and cultural diversity. The school occupies 22,000 square feet in the Rotary Building in downtown Evanston. For more information, visit beaconacademyil.org.
Youth Activity and our Community
The Importance of Youth Sports - For Our Kids and Our Communities
A Guest Essay From John Berkley and Rich Gallun
from the Evanston RoundTable 12/14/2017 9:34:00 AM
As the parents of children who have participated in organized sports in Evanston over the past 10-plus years, we've been exposed to the "new world" of the youth sports culture. It's a world that is much more competitive and demanding of time, money and parent involvement than the one we grew up in. The stakes are higher. Kids - and their parents – want to make the top teams, get playing time, get noticed, maybe even get recruited. The result? Kids get priced out, edged out, burned out and they quit. Over 70% of kids quit all organized sports by age 13.
Why does it matter? Because the impact of youth sports is so far reaching. Recent research shows that the benefits of participation in youth sports teams go far beyond health benefits. Active kids who play sports - or participate in other extracurricular activities - do better in life.
A 2013 study by the Aspen Institute called "Project Play" found that youth sports participation is critically important both from a public health and a personal success perspective. Kids who are physically active are less likely to smoke, use drugs, get pregnant or engage in risky behavior. They have up to 40% higher test scores in school, and are 15% more likely to go to college.
In his book "Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis," Harvard professor Robert Putnam documents how extracurricular participation and the development of "soft skills" lead to stronger outcomes over the long term. He writes: "Consistent involvement in extracurricular activities is strongly associated with a variety of positive outcomes… including higher grade point averages, lower dropout rates, lower truancy, better work habits, higher educational aspirations, lower delinquency rates, greater self-esteem, more psychological resilience, less risky behavior, more civic engagement (like voting and volunteering) and higher future wages and educational attainment."
While the pursuit can be sports, music, theater or any extracurricular activity, the important driver of success later in life is the sustained commitment to that pursuit. In the best-selling book "Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance," the psychologist Angela Duckworth illuminates the power of "grit," which she defines as perseverance and passion for long-term goals, a trait that can be developed over time through the right kind of guidance from demanding yet supportive parents, teachers and coaches. Duckworth cites numerous studies that highlight the importance of extracurricular activities – "but only for kids who participate in activities for two years rather than one." As Duckworth explains, "the key was that the students had signed up for something, signed up again the following year, and during that time, had made some kind of progress." Putnam cites one study that found that kids who are consistently involved in extracurricular activities were 70 percent more likely to go to college than kids who were episodically involved – and 400 percent more likely than kids who were not at all involved.
Evanston Township High School Athletic Director Chris Livatino finds a similar correlation, highlighting that "across every racial sub-group, students who participated in athletics earned significantly higher GPAs than those students not involved in athletics." Livatino also notes a small decline in participation in ETHS sports last year, and suggests that one explanation is that many sports require significant pre-high school experience, and that fewer kids, especially on the lower end of the socioeconomic spectrum, are able to afford to these programs.
The decline in youth sports participation can be attributed to a number of reasons, but clearly money has become a major factor. Youth sports participation rates for those at the lowest income levels are about half of those at higher income levels. In many sports, multi-season, tryout-based travel teams with professional coaches and high fees provide the highest probability path to making a high school team.
We at Evanston Soccer Association (Team Evanston and Eleven United) are committed to increasing participation in our soccer programs by partnering with the broader Evanston community to enable greater affordability and accessibility for all of our kids. In addition to increasing financial aid, we are also committed to the ongoing training of our coaches so that they can better serve as positive mentors for our youth, and to investing in upgrades to Evanston fields and facilities. With that in mind, we are actively involved in supporting the Robert Crown Community Center project. Not only is the project critical for the strength and viability of own club and other sports organizations, it also offers the opportunity to foster more "free play" in the community. We strongly encourage our colleagues, businesses and other organizations in Evanston to pitch in to ensure that the new Robert Crown Community Center becomes a reality so that all of our kids – and adults – have an equal opportunity at a better, healthier life.

Freeskating at Robert Crown
More than $265,000 raised by Evanston community
Over 200 people attended a Friday night cocktail party thrown by the Friends of the Robert Crown Center (FRCC), raising over $265,000 toward construction of the New Robert Crown Library, Turf Park and Community Center.
"Our community is coming together like never before to give our children and people from every part of Evanston the opportunity to learn, play and grow at the New Robert Crown Library, Turf Park and Community Center," said Amina DiMarco, Vice President of the FRCC board.
Team Evanston/Eleven United Soccer, AYSO Evanston, Evanston Youth Lacrosse, Evanston Baseball and Softball Association and Evanston Field Hockey along with ERA Lacrosse organized the event. Sponsoring donations from a 23-member event host committee raised $205,000 of the total take. On top of that, the event sold 101 individual tickets at $150 each for $15,150, with paddling and other donations raising an additional $44,900 to reach a grand total $265,050 for the evening.
"Oak Park right now has 310,000 square feet of publicly available turf, while Evanston has none. The three turf fields at the new Robert Crown are desperately needed and will serve soccer, lacrosse, tackle football, flag football, girls field hockey and ultimate Frisbee communities for years to come," said John Berkley, a FRCC board member who also sits on the Team Evanston/Eleven United Soccer board.
Andy Tinucci of Woodhouse Tinucci Architects narrated slides of the stunning, glassed-in design of the $43.5 million project, which includes a new branch library, expanded and improved child care center, a multipurpose athletic facility on the second floor which is double the size of the current gym, 3 turf fields totaling 230,000 square feet of safe, durable playing surface and two NHL size ice rinks.
ABC7 Anchor and Evanston resident Ravi Baichwal led a spirited paddle raise that allowed FRCC to easily beat their $250,000 goal for the event.
The current Robert Crown Community Center is Evanston's most used public facility with between 100-150,000 visits on an annual basis. The new center with its new Evanston Public Library branch, added child care space, technology center and indoor running track along with nearly double the size of gym and ice facilities will see more that 200,000 visits a year, or over 10 million visits over the 50 year plus life span of the center.
"Those 10 million potential visits make the New Robert Crown Library, Turf Park and Community Center the most impactful Evanston project built in the last twenty years," said Evanston Mayor Steve Hagerty, who gave welcoming remarks at the event.
Friends of the Robert Crown Center (FRCC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization formed in 2016 to spearhead community fundraising efforts, partnering with the City of Evanston and dozens of other athletic and community organizations on the project. The capital campaign that has already exceeded its initial $10 million goal and is stretching toward a new $15 million goal.
Event Raises $265,000 for New Crown Center
From Evanston Now December 2, 2017:
By Sonja Nordahl
Evanston residents came together Friday night for a fundraising event hosted by the Friends of Robert Crown. More than a hundred people attended the event at Smiley Brothers which topped expectations and raised $265,000.
Mayor Steve Haggerty was on hand as were several aldermen. Architect, Andy Tinucci went over the proposed design of the building and grounds, saying it will be a community hub for Evanston.
The proposal includes a library branch, technology center, two ice rinks, an indoor running track, meeting spaces and multi-use community rooms.
The fields around the Center will be artificial turf. Team Evanston/ Eleven United, AYSO Evanston, Evanston Youth Lacrosse, Evanston Baseball and Softball Association and Evanston Field Hockey have all been clamoring for additional turf fields to extend the opportunities to play and practice outdoors.
More than a thousand games are played a week on those fields in spring, summer, and fall.
Resident Tim Davitt attended the event and has donated to the center saying he's happy to support Evanston's infrastructure. The current Robert Crown building isn't adequate and hasn't been for a long time, Davitt added.
Kelly Marcelle also donated but complains a pool is missing from the plan. "I regret there's no pool, all Evanston children need to learn to swim, since we live right by the lake."
Resident Matt Nells contributed, and says the "turf fields are absolutely necessary, we don't have enough facilities especially under the lights."
FRCC is a non-profit organization formed to help fund the $30 million rebuilding of the Robert Crown Center at Main Street and Dodge Avenue.
The group reached its initial goal of $10 million and has now upped the ante and is striving to raise $5 million more.
Campaign Director Mike Happ, says FRCC will continue holding fundraisers as they try to reach their $15 million goal, The next stage will focus on arts and culture as the building will house a wide range of cultural and educational resources.
The City of Evanston and the Evanston Public Library have also committed millions in funding toward the project.
Construction on the new Robert Crown Center is scheduled to start netxt summer, with completion by fall of 2019. The current building won't be torn down until the new building is done.
Excitement Builds for New Library Branch
From Evanston RoundTable, April 19, 2017:
Excitement Builds Around New Library Branch at Crown Center
By Mary Helt Gavin
The newest branch of the Evanston Public Library, part of the new Robert Crown Center, is in the active planning stage, with preliminary drawings, community input, and excitement and planning on the parts of the Library Board and staff.
"Things that you hope we would hear [from the community], we're beginning to hear," Library Director Karen Danczak Lyons told the RoundTable in an interview that included Library Board President Michael Tannen.
The new 128,000-square-foot Robert Crown Center will have two ice rinks; spaces for fitness, dance, yoga and other recreation; indoor and outdoor fields and courts; and – like only one other sports facility in this country – its very own branch of the library. "One would think that a library and a sports facility would be a natural fit," said Mr. Tannen, "but there are only 20 in Canada and one other in the United States."
"This will be the first branch that's constructed like a branch," Ms. Lyons said. During her tenure with the Chicago Public Library, she was on teams that oversaw the renovation or construction of 54 branch libraries.
Programming and Space
Although there will be discrete areas for its many planned programs, the building will be conducive to mingling, watching, and chatting. One concept is to have a walking track above and around one of the rinks. Other areas are for "warm-side viewing" of the ice activities – glass-walled lounging areas outside the rinks.
With the opportunities for exercise – sports, dance, fitness, yoga, etc. – and quiet intellectual pursuits, people can develop mind and body in one space, Ms. Lyons said.
Although the planned hours of operation of the center – 5:30 a.m. to 1 a.m. – are more extensive than those for the branch library, "We want to serve even when we're closed," Ms. Lyons said. She envisions kiosks to dispense books, CDs, and movies through the use of the library card.
All ages will be welcome. "Sometimes it will feel like it's a senior citizens' library, sometimes, a children's library," Ms. Lyons said. "We can push book stacks out of the way – and it will look like a different library."
Carts with laptops can be rolled out for multiple users – rather like a cart with trays in a school lunchroom – and the laptops themselves may be available for checkout.
In summer, the sliding glass doors to the outside could be opened so patrons can step out into a reading garden, which could also be used for storytelling to children. The landscaping will add to the ambience of an active, light-filled, bustling center, she said.
Ms. Lyons also said one idea is to create a special Robert Crown Library card to welcome new patrons, which would be good at all the branches and the Main Library, as well.
Noting the proximity of Washington, Dawes, and Chute schools, as well as Evanston Township High School, Mr. Tannen said, "This will fill a gap on the west side." He also said he believes the new center and library could attract Northwestern University students not only to use the facility but to volunteer there as tutors for student Library patrons.
Ms. Lyons said she hopes some of the programs offered through the Main Library, such as the free tax-preparation service provided by the Center for Economic Progress and the career counseling offered by National ABLE (Ability Based on Long Experience) Network would establish satellites at the Robert Crown Branch.
The tax-preparation program is an example of the Library's successful partnerships, Mr. Tannen said. "Last year the volunteers – who prepare tax returns for families with incomes of less than $55,000 and individual with incomes of less than $30,000 – netted about $750,000 in refunds."
"We couldn't do what we do without the community partners and the leadership of the Board and staff… We keep the focus on our families, on how we can help them. … We have a great partner with the City departments as well," Ms. Lyons said.
Ms. Lyons sees the common spaces as more than access to the rooms that house various activities. "She sees the lobby as an agora," Mr. Tannen said. "It's a place for people to connect, converse," Ms. Lyons said. Focusing on the wide stairway to the second floor, she said she envisions it as tiered seating for lectures or concerts as well as the more pedestrian access to the upstairs.
Ms. Lyons said the Library staff would work with the Robert Crown staff when Library programs could use extra space. "I don't want to negotiate every week or have staff go hat in hand to beg space for at the last minute. There's got to be room for everybody."
"The Library Board felt so strongly we could build this library that it has committed to paying $2.5 million toward the building. … We are building in a maintenance fund, based on the lifespan of the equipment." Mr. Tannen said.
The City will issue all the bonds necessary, and the library will repay its share, Ms. Lyons said. Of course, donations on any level are still welcome, she added.
Michael Happ, Campaign Director for the new center, wrote in an email response to a RoundTable question on the timeline for the new facility, "The current intention is to begin construction in spring 2018 and complete all work by fall 2019."
City approval for construction of a new branch library is an about-face from 2011, when the City closed the South Branch Library, and there was talk about closing the North Branch as well. Many people who had tried to save the South Branch opened the Mighty Twig, a privately run lending library at 900 Chicago Ave., which is now the site of the Chicago Avenue/Main Street Branch of the Evanston Public Library (CAMS).
The group that coalesced into Evanston Library Friends helped fund and staff the Twig. In 2012, the City hired Ms. Lyons as Library Director, and CAMS opened in 2013.
Like many other institutions in Evanston, the Library Board has decided to honor retiring City officials Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl and Fifth Ward Alderman Delores Holmes.
"Although Ald. Holmes was at first not on board with saving the two branch libraries and creating a third, she came aboard so strongly that the Board decided to name one of the new rooms after her," Mr. Tannen said. The Board also plans to endow a scholarship to study library science in the name of Mayor Tisdahl.
Mr. Tannen, whose happiness about the new Library branch, the Library itself, and the Library Board, was evident throughout the interview, said, "If five or six or seven years ago you would have told me we'd have a world-class Library director and could be building a crown jewel on the west side, I would have thought you were dreaming."

Q: JDBC TableModel for a JTable in Java? I want to display a database table as a JTable. I have never used JTable before so I googled JTable and TableModel.
With that googling, I am able to write my own custom TableModel which show data stored in
Object[][] data;

Now, I want to show my database table data into JTable. I searched that also and have got an idea of that but still confused about what should goes where in the implementation class of AbstractTableModel.
Following is the code of custom TableModel.
public abstract class AbstractPOLDATTableModel extends AbstractTableModel {
protected boolean DEBUG = false;
private String[] columnNames;
private Object[][] data;

protected AbstractPOLDATTableModel(String[] columnNames, Object[][] data) {
    this.columnNames = columnNames;
    this.data = data;
}

public int getColumnCount() {
    return columnNames.length;
}

public int getRowCount() {
    return data.length;
}

@Override
public String getColumnName(int col) {
    return columnNames[col];
}

public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) {
    return data[row][col];
}

@Override
public Class getColumnClass(int c) {
    return getValueAt(0, c).getClass();
}

@Override
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {
    if (col < 2) {
        return false;
    } else {
        return true;
    }
}

@Override
public void setValueAt(Object value, int row, int col) {
    if (DEBUG) {
        System.out.println("Setting value at " + row + "," + col
                           + " to " + value
                           + " (an instance of "
                           + value.getClass() + ")");
    }

    data[row][col] = value;
    fireTableCellUpdated(row, col);

    if (DEBUG) {
        System.out.println("New value of data:");
        printDebugData();
    }
}

private void printDebugData() {
    int numRows = getRowCount();
    int numCols = getColumnCount();

    for (int i=0; i < numRows; i++) {
        System.out.print("    row " + i + ":");
        for (int j=0; j < numCols; j++) {
            System.out.print("  " + data[i][j]);
        }
        System.out.println();
    }
    System.out.println("--------------------------");
}
}

Now, how to change the above code so that my JTable can have the follwing features:

*

*It shows data from the database

*User can edit the table directly and when he clicks on a "save" button, the changes reflect in the database data

*User can insert data directly.

*User can delete data directly.

A: I'm assuming you've implemented 1 according to what Adamski suggested in your previous question. Also, as suggested by Sanoj, change to using some sort of List to store your data.

*

*To support 2-4, you must ensure that the data you're pulling out of the database comes from only one table and involves no derived data (eg. aggregations, column1 + column2). You will need to keep track of your where clause, if you intend to let the user filter rows.

*Within each Row, store another Row (let's call it updatedRow) that represents the updates the user has made using the GUI. Once any update is made to the row, this field needs to be populated with a new Row containing the updated data . When "Save" is clicked, you run update queries for all Rows with a non-null updatedRow, updating the database with data in updatedRow which do not match those from the original Row (don't update if the user changes data back to how it was originally). You might also have another "Undo Updates" button which populates the table with the original data for all Rows with a non-null updatedRow.
I would strongly recommend that you store additional metadata on which fields form the primary key and prevent those from being changed, as updates to such columns may be expensive (since they are presumably indexed and may have some RI constraints attached). This should be reflected in the GUI by making such columns not editable. The where clause in updates would use only these fields rather than all fields (you will still need other filters that your user set in 1).

*I'd suggest a two step process. The user starts by clicking a button which adds a row to the table. After entering data, the user clicks another button to insert into the database (or you can combine this functionality with updates in the "save" button). You will need to allow primary key fields to be editable for newly inserted rows if the primary key columns aren't some auto-generated ID.
To different between which Rows are already in the database and which ones aren't, I'd suggest storing a list of newly inserted Rows.
If you let the user pick only certain columns to display in the table, you will need to determine how to deal with the columns that aren't being displayed (eg. let the database set a default, populate with auto-generated ID).

*Probably best to implement this by having a checkbox with each Row, then when the "Delete" button is clicked, it calls SQL to delete each checked Row using the filter from 1 and primary key metadata mentioned in 2, as well as to remove it from the table.
General considerations:

*

*The same setValueAt method will be used for both updated and inserted Rows, but you want different behaviour. You want to set updatedRow for updates, but not when editting Rows you're about to insert.

*How will you handle errors such as constraints not being met or invalid input (eg. 'abcde' in a numeric field)?

*SQL injection.

Rhythm and consistency are important, so how you get ready both physically and mentally for the game is essential. Tiger has a practice routine that he does before every single game. He uses the same clubs, and the last club he uses for his pre-game warm-up is the one he plans to use for the first hole.-

Hampton voters ban smoking on beaches, parks
Max Sullivan msullivan@seacoastonline.com @MaxSullivanLive
Mar 12, 2019 at 11:59 PM Mar 13, 2019 at 12:16 AM
HAMPTON�� Voters passed a new smoking ban on town beaches, parks and other public property at Town Meeting Tuesday.
The new smoking ban, which passed by a vote of 1,432 to 1,190, will apply to town-owned beaches at Plaice Cove and Sun Valley, not to Hampton Beach State Park and North Beach where smoking bans do not exist. First-time violators will receive a fine of $100 under the new ordinance.
Voters who opposed the smoking ban said people should have a right to smoke in public, as well as that it would be too difficult for police to enforce the ban. Proponents have said simply having the ban in place would allow people offended by cigarettes to ask that smokers put them out.
"I think you have an obligation to other people," said Matthew Dodge, who supported the smoking ban. "Common courtesy."
The town rejected a proposed $28,141,882 operating budget with 1,057 "yes" votes and 1,671 "no" votes. It was the second year in a row in which the town rejected its operating budget. Now the town will follow its default budget of $27,595,116, which is last year's budget plus any contractually obligated costs.
Shirley Doheny was elected town clerk after serving for several years underneath her predecessor Jane Cypher, who resigned to move out of state last year. Doheny, who has served as town clerk since Cypher left, won a three-year term with 1,692 votes, defeating challengers Patricia Laflamme, who had 170 votes, and Michelle O'Brien-Hansen, who had 590 votes. The position pays a salary of $61,971.96.
"I'm very happy," said Doheny. "I'm going to enjoy tonight."
Keith Lessard and Fran McMahon were elected again to the Planning Board, defeating Chris McPherron, Anne "Tocky" Bialobrzeski and Alena Degon. Lessard took 1,354 votes, McMahon 934, McPherron 509, Bialobrzeski 790 and Degon 474.
Les Shepard and Ginny Bridle-Russell won their seats back on the Hampton School Board, defeating challenger Kelly Martin. Shepard received 1,443 votes, Bridle-Russell 1,314, and Martin 1,181.
Homes built or substantially renovated near the marsh will now have to be raised on pilings, as voters passed an article 2,125-517 establishing the requirement. Opponents of the article said it was an infringement of property owners' rights, but those who voted for it said it was an important step in protecting against flooding and sea level rise.
"I'm certainly not for the government being involved in our everyday lives, but I think sometimes people left to their own better judgment sometimes don't use their better judgment," said Steve Fraser. "Some type of regulation, I think, is at least feasible."
Voters rejected a warrant article to add four new firefighters through a federal grant that would have covered a portion of the cost in the first three years. Those who supported the article said growth in town has surpassed that of the Fire Department, which had the same number of firefighters in the 1980s, according to Fire Chief Jameson Ayotte. Opponents of the article were skeptical the department truly needed the new positions and believed taxpayers could not afford the hike in taxes it would bring.

MARGARET Hodge has opened a can of worms with her call for British families to be given council housing priority.


"Dance Moms" star Abby Lee Miller has made a deal with federal prosecutors in the criminal cases (yes, plural, keep reading) filed against her and will enter a guilty plea on June 27.
Last year, Miller, the star of the reality TV show "Dance Moms" was indicted on charges of bankruptcy fraud, concealment of bankruptcy assets, and false bankruptcy declarations.
The charges were tied to an action in bankruptcy court, filed by Miller in 2010. As part of the bankruptcy proceedings, Miller was required to disclose information about her circumstances including her assets, liabilities, income and potential income. During the period of reorganization, Miller was required to keep her creditors informed about her finances by filing what's known as a Monthly Operating Report. According to the indictment, Miller schemed to conceal income she earned between 2012 and 2013 from her performances on "Dance Moms" and related spinoff TV shows. She also allegedly worked to hide income from her Masterclass dance sessions as well as merchandise and apparel sales.
When information came to light suggesting that Miller was evading disclosure, prosecutors claim that Miller ramped up efforts to conceal income. Miller reportedly asked companies to make checks payable to other parties, including her mother, rather than to her, and created companies in Florida that she used to route income away from accounts where the funds might be disclosed. The amount of income that Miller is alleged to have concealed is $755,492.85.
IRS-CI Special Agent in Charge Akeia Conner said about the investigation at the time, "Fraud and dishonesty in bankruptcy proceedings undermines the integrity of these important proceedings and especially hurts the creditors and American Taxpayers." She then added, "Concealing assets from the Court and not paying taxes is a gross violation of civic duty and IRS Criminal Investigation will work diligently with our law enforcement partners to pursue those who do so."
Miller was initially charged with 20 criminal counts. That was before this week.
In a new criminal case filed on June 20, 2016, Miller has been charged on information with transporting more than $10,000 into the U.S. from a foreign country without reporting the transaction. The feds named the country as Australia and further pinged August 7, 2014, as the date of the occurrence (you'll note that predates the filing of charges in her prior, related criminal case). While the exact amount wasn't spelled out in court papers - just over $10,000 - federal prosecutors are looking for a forfeit of a "minimum of $120,000 in United States currency."
To be clear, there's no limit to the amount of cash that you can bring into or out of the country: the notion that you can only take so much in or out is a myth. However, by law, a person or persons traveling together must report coin, currency or negotiable monetary instruments in excess of $10,000 by filling out a form FinCEN 105, Report of International Transportation of Currency and Monetary Instruments (downloads as a pdf).
The trip fired speculation at the time that Miller might be taking her successful franchise abroad. One year later, Miller was hit with criminal charges relating to her business ventures.
Initially, Miller pleaded not guilty to the initial charges. However, these additional charges were brought on information. That typically means that a defendant has pleaded guilty and waived the right to an indictment. According to court documents, that appears to be the case here. An official guilty plea to charges is expected on Monday, June 27.
Events over the past several months have been extremely challenging for me, my family, my friends and most important, my studentsBecause of this I made the very difficult decision to close the door on this chapter of my life by accepting responsibility for mistakes I have made along the way. I appreciate all the wonderful messages of support I've received from around the world and look forward to the future and getting back to my life's work; helping young dancers fulfill their potential.
Miller's show, "Dance Moms," airing on Lifetime, is currently in its sixth season.


After welcoming her fourth son Ronnie just this month, Danielle Lloyd has said that she thinks she will use gender selection for her fifth baby.
The mum-of-four has been very open about wanting a baby girl and has now revealed that she will consider using gender selection in order to have a daughter.
Speaking to OK! Magazine, Danielle explained that she would love to have more children in the future and a little girl would complete her family.
Earlier this year she could hardly hide her surprise at finding out she was having another boy during a live gender reveal on Loose Women.
As she introduced her fourth child, Danielle addressed that reports that she would use gender selection with her next pregnancy, saying: 'I think so. I've always dreamt of having a little girl.
The process of gender selection involves implanting embryos of the desired gender back into the mother's uterus.
The 33-year-old revealed that she has already thought about having another baby just moments after giving birth to Ronnie, her only son with fiancé Michael O'Neill.
The former Miss GB welcomed her fourth child, Ronnie on September 13th this year.
Talking about her choice of baby name, Danielle said: 'While I was pregnant it was a toss up between Ronnie and Leo, but we asked the boys and they all preferred Ronnie, so that's what we went with.

Ideologies, then, are the overall, abstract mental systems that organize such socially shared attitudes.
