Company Retreat: We Are Better Together!
Earlier this month, we hit the road and headed to Camp Allen for our annual company retreat. It was a short and sweet day trip. The retreat consisted of motivational and educational presentations by various team members as well as indoor and outdoor activities. The activities ranged from puzzle games to horseback riding (so fun!) and we even took some drone shots!
We cannot wait to see what 2017 has in store for us!

SF Women's Basketball – Saints Defeat Broward and Advance to FCSAA Semifinals
Posted on: 13 Mar 2017 Last updated on: 6 Jun 2017 Written by: Teri McClellan Categorized in: All News, Athletics
Ocala, FL – The FCSAA #6 Santa Fe College Saints (19-10) fought from 12 down in the second half on Wednesday afternoon in Ocala at the FCSAA Tournament, defeating the Broward College Seahawks 85-79 to advance on to the state semifinals Friday.
Arianna Emanuel-Wright led the way with a career high 34 points and Rayven Wade dominated the paint to the tune of 26 points and 20 rebounds.
"I'm really proud of the way Rayven played today," said Mid-Florida Conference Coach of the Year Chanda Stebbins. "I thought she had a very tough defensive assignment but still managed to contribute on offense. Ari made some big shots and helped keep us in the game in the second half."
The Saints jumped all over the Seahawks in the early going, taking a 9-0 lead just two minutes in. The score was 15-5 when Broward decided to turn it on. They outscored the Saints 17-6 the rest of the quarter and led 22-21 at the end of the first.
BC continued their hot shooting in the second quarter and also turned up the defensive pressure, outscoring SF 21-13 to take a 43-34 lead at halftime. Broward shot 50% from the field in the first half and held the Saints to 39% shooting.
The third quarter started with the Seahawks continuing to score, building their lead to a game high 12. Timeout by Coach Stebbins helped turn the tide and the Saints closed the quarter with a flurry, turning it into a one point deficit heading into the fourth, 60-59.
"I am really proud of this group and how they've played through close games all year," said Stebbins. "Some went our way and some didn't, but they always keep composure and always keep fighting."
The game was back and forth in the final quarter with the two teams trading the lead back and forth.
With under two minutes to go and the score tied 75-75, Emanuel-Wright drove to the basket and banked home a runner to put SF out in front 77-75.
On the ensuing possession Santa Fe stole a pass but missed the wide-open layup and a chance to make it a four point game. The Saints never panicked and after Broward went 1-of-2 from the free throw line, Wade took the inbounds pass and beat everyone down the floor, scoring a layup for the 79-76 lead.
Santa Fe buckled down on defense, getting a stop, and forced the Seahawks to foul. Evelina Avleeva made both free throws and after another stop, Wade made two more free throws to balloon the lead to 83-76.
Broward made a three pointer on the next possession but would get no closer as Emanuel-Wright iced the game with two free throws with just seven seconds remaining.
Avleeva had a solid game off the bench finishing with seven points and 12 rebounds and Corey Staples had seven points, four rebounds, and three assists.
The win secures the Santa Fe College Saints a spot in the FCSAA Semifinals, and a date with FCSAA #2 Chipola College on Friday at 1:00 PM. That game will be broadcast on the FCSAA YouTube Channel. This will be the first trip to the semis for the Saints since a 47-46 last second loss to Northwest Florida State College in 2011.

Michael Tait is lead singer of the Grammy nominated group The Newsboys. Best known as a member of the pioneering Christian rock/rap group dc Talk, Tait's career in the Christian music industry has been defined by stretching the boundaries of art, faith and culture. As I prepared to interview Tait for UrbanFaith.com, I was reminded that the music of both bands provided the soundtrack to my parenting, but especially dc Talk's many songs that spoke to interracial families like mine. The interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Christine A. Scheller: Congratulations on the success of Born Again, your first CD with The Newsboys.
Michael Tait: Thanks. After 44 weeks, we dropped off and then were number one again, so it's mind-blowing.
You've played with cross-cultural bands pretty much your whole career, right?
Michael Tait: Oh yeah. I call it "living integration." I want people to see that the beauty of the human race is found in the diversity of the human race. We are God's bouquet. We could have all white flowers or red, but man, wouldn't it be pretty to see a bouquet of different flowers, different styles? That to me is the beauty of it.
You did a lot to promote racial reconciliation when you were with dc Talk. Are you guys still involved with race and justice issues?
Obviously, dc Talk is disbanded for the moment, or as we say, "double-parked in the city" ... but my heart's always been for racial reconciliation because I grew up in the inner city of D.C. and my dad's heart was for it.
Urban Faith editor Ed Gilbreath wrote a book called "Reconciliation Blues" about his experience as a black person in the evangelical world. What are your thoughts on that experience?
It's funny you should mention that because the other day the band was like, "Tait, you're like the only black guy in Christian rock." It's true. We have Kirk Franklin, who's my friend, but that's gospel. In CCM, as broad as it is, I'm the only little spot in that whole conglomeration.
Did you grow up listening to rock music?
I grew up listening to Oingo Boingo, U2 and Duran Duran, but also Kool & the Gang, Lionel Richie, Michael Jackson. My friends gave me a hard time, but I was like 12 or 13 and I was like, "Forget you guys, man." In other words, I'm not going to be pigeonholed. I like basketball and soul food, but I also like tennis and sushi -- and rock 'n' roll.
In an interview with the Gospel Music Channel, you talked about your sister who died of AIDS after a history of drug abuse and your brother who is in prison for drug offenses. In her book, "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in an Age of Colorblindness," Michelle Alexander talks about the war against drugs as a backlash against the civil rights movement. Do you think structural racism has impacted your own family in this regard?
Speaking directly, in a real tangible way, no. We weren't put down or put in jail because of our color, nor did we become victims of HIV because of our color. But I think down the line, in the very nature of racism, most African Americans have been affected by it. Is it an excuse? No, it's a fact. Should we stop and throw in the towel. No way. I'm not doing that. I want to climb higher. Not everybody has that drive.
The sad part is, because of the system and racism, a lot of families are broken up. That was the whole nature of racism in the beginning, to tear apart families. It's still going on. That's the part that's so bad, because then little Johnny and Stevie and Bernard are alone at home. Mom is working two jobs and dad can't be found because the world says he's not worth anything. He's looked down upon. He feels inferior to others. It's a stinky mess, so sometimes it's hard to grasp what to do, but all you can do is take one day at a time and do one act at a time.
Some Christians have been identified with the "birther movement" that cast dispersions on President Obama's birth. Would it happen if he wasn't black?
I think the bigger issue here is that many of us are not happy with what's happening in our country under his leadership. That's going to make us say, "Hey, by the way, you're not even da da da."
Are you speaking of yourself or in general?
Yes, myself. I'm not satisfied with Obama's current direction for our country. ... The scariest part about it is I'm a Republican, and I'm not sure I see anyone coming up that I can even vote for next time. Who knows, [Obama] might get four more years.
Another personal question for you. I read somewhere that you have a supermodel in your life.
Yes, her name is Mari. We met in New York and started dating about a year ago. I'm going to pop the question one of these days.
In your interview with the Gospel Music Network, you said, "I get lost in church. I can be jaded, go on cruise control. I know the Christian clichés and phrases to say to capture the audience." That's a spiritual dilemma. How do you keep going?
I think it's mind over matter. ... The more real I get every night and the more I get into the Word in my personal life, the more it stays fresh. Otherwise it becomes karaoke. ... Also, I look at the crowds and the people. Every state's different and every situation is different. It's like God inspires me and fills me in that moment for that work and I feel it every night. So I can say the same thing and God uses it because his Word never comes back void.

Dhwani is an initiative to spread the musical knowledge. Here you will find information about Indian classical music, particularly Carnatic classical music and about my effort to teach Indian music away from India.
Designed to follow my own passion for classical vocal music lessons, I used warm colours and gave it a very Indian theme. The website is entirely hand-coded with HTML and CSS. The website complies to W3C standards for HTML and CSS and is accessibility tested.


- increment or decrement a value based on an action of another field. For example. cell b2 starts out with "0", it will either increment or decrement by "1" if another cell is clicked.
If I have a two way arrow in cell D2 and one end of the arrow is clicked, it will increment the value in b2 by one, if the other end is clicked, it will decrease the value in b2 by one. Optionally, in cell D2 and D3 are command buttons and clicking on them will change the value in B2.
"A", "B", C", "D", etc.. If I click "A", that value is stored in e2, when I click "B", that value is stored in e2, if I click "A" again, it is added to e2. When I look in cell e2, I should see ABA. It would be nice to have the values counted and I see A=2 and B=1.
Anyone know of a source or reference that I can view for such examples?


This profile of uber-talented Lauren Noel marks two firsts for Mother. She's not only the first Cleveland-based mama we've featured, she's also the first to open up about raising a child with autism. Both firsts, we might add, are painfully overdue. According to brand-new data from the CDC, 1 in 59 American children (1 in 37 boys and 1 in 151 girls) are identified as having autism spectrum disorder, and this ratio is 15% higher than it was just two years prior. For those of us unfamiliar with autism, Lauren graciously opens up about her personal experience with her second son, 8-year-old Keegan (younger bro to 9-year-old Dylan), and along the way she crushes common misconceptions and sets us straight on the terms "autistic child" vs. "a child with autism." Of course, autism isn't the only thing in this 29-year-old mama's life. She also shows us inside of her wonderland of a home, which is bursting with optimistic color, and fills us in on her career as an artist, which has recently hit fever pitch.
"God, I wish I could pinpoint it to one thing. There are hints of a very mid century, vintage vibe around our home. I'm a huge lover of color, patterns, and textures. But mostly a lover of color. No matter the aesthetic, whether it be boho or very mod, I have to have color throughout out home."
"Just doing what feels right and is functional for our kids. There really isn't any rhyme or reason for me when decorating. If anything, it's, 'How much color and art can I fit in this space with out it being crazy overwhelming?'"
"The more the merrier, I say for the most part. I change up the color in my home so frequently. I love a strong bold accent wall among more neutral walls the most. I think the latest trend is to be more muted and neutral, which I'm not hating on, I just believe God created such a beautiful spectrum of color that I think bold bits here and there are amazing."
"I do work from home for the most part. Except for when I'm doing design/mural work. I have an attic, which we converted into a studio, as well as a room that's attached to the master that is also used as a studio space."
"I wish I could say that we keep the kids' toys in a specific place in our home. But I just don't think it's realistic for our lives."
"They currently share a room. When we first moved here they had two separate beds. Then, we gave Dylan his own room, and then back to sharing again. We really struggled with helping Dylan to see that cleaning up and taking care of your room is not something he's rewarded for. It's just simply being a member of this family. He really struggled with it, so we decided together that we'll go back to sharing a room with his brother until he can be more responsible with his things."
"Oh man, I love their dresser and storage closet. I found them off of Craigslist and they are seriously sturdy pieces of furniture from the '70s. I'm also such a huge fan of all the little knickknacks Dylan has collected over the years. All of his Jaws characters and ET and Ghostbusters figurines bring a smile to my face. He's my little old soul for sure and is such a fan of movies from the '90s and '80s."
"I'm not sure I could narrow it down to one thing, but I definitely love the adventures of motherhood that the boys and I share. It's the moment when I'm exploring and being free with my kids that I look at them and feel a sense of peace and excitement. It's the joy that comes with watching them learn and explore their surroundings."
"Ha, too many things. I'm a mother of a special boy with autism and with that comes a lot of anxiety and fear. It's a constant rollercoaster of emotions with him. I'm nervous anytime I go to bed because Keegan is a 'runner.' We have triple locks on every door in our home because he has gotten out of the house when he was younger. It's quite common among kids on the spectrum. I'm nervous about his future at times. Who will take care of him if something happens to me or Rian? It's five full-time jobs wrapped up in one parenting a child with autism and I know it's not for everyone. I even get nervous speaking about my son because it comes with so much judgment from others sometimes."
"We found out with both boys, and for me I always wanted a girl. I never thought I would be a boy mom until I had boys and honestly I'm so grateful. There is something incredibly special about raising boys and the relationship they share with their mothers when they are younger. I know eventually their best friend will be their dad and I'm okay with that. For now, I get them for me and I love it."
"Rian and I had a deal that if we had girls, I would name them, and if we had boys, he would. Both boys are named after pro skaters and then their middle names are from my grandfather on my mother's side and Rian's grandfather on his dad's side."
"Dylan is 9 and Keegan is 8. Keegan is my little artist and it is very much how he communicates and expresses himself. About 98% of the time, you will find our dining room covered in piles of paper. Dylan is a Star Wars, Harry Potter, Marvel fan. He will quite often have the Jurassic Park soundtrack playing while he plays Jurassic Park. It's amazing!"
"Always always! There was never a doubt in my mind that I wanted to be a mother."
"Neither kids were planned and both were for the most part fairly normal pregnancies. We had Dylan right before I turned 20 and Keegan right before my 21st birthday. I do remember enjoying the growth more with my first. I just think my body hadn't fully healed after Dylan when getting pregnant with Keegan."
"It was a big shock for us when we found out I was pregnant the second time. Because autism does play a huge role in our family, I think having the boys so close in age has been helpful, but there are also times that I know Dylan, my oldest, struggles with it. I do wish I had a little more time to give him my full attention, but life isn't perfect and you run with what you are given."
"I've gotten into a couple books, but nothing I've read fully through. Most of those books have been about raising a child with autism. Mostly, though, I've learned a lot from my peers. The moms and teachers in our lives. I'm a big believer in not being prideful when it comes to help with my kids. Most of the things we've struggled with have been first time things and I am in no way an expert and just prefer to ask mothers who have been there and done it."
"My husband and I are pretty similar in parenting for the most part, but in many aspects different. I grew up in a spiritual household and my husband did not. One is not better than the other, it's just different. I believe in nurturing my children's free-thinking minds and their feelings, but also letting them know that I'm not their friend, I'm their mother."
"I grew up in a pretty religious household. Both my parents (mom and step dad) are disciples. I think it had some draw backs at times, but for the most part I think God protected me from a lot of pain. I think my biggest struggle growing up wasn't finding my own faith, but being biracial. The constant struggle with your identity and where you stand in this society. I have incredible, amazing, and artistic siblings who constantly blow me away with their talents. My sisters and I, for the most part, grew up super close and they are truly my best friends. I do have to say, though, that I grew up in a household where my step dad treated my mother as his equal and it has always been such a rewarding thing being raised by two people that just love each other unconditionally. To have that and then to have a father that shared with us so many incredible life changing experiences."
"Absolutely! I know for myself being black and white in such a divided society it's not easy maneuvering through aspects of life. Then to have two children that look white but have a brown mother makes life even more interesting. They know and are proud of where their grandfather's family comes from and are made very aware of the truths that they face as black men. We speak pretty freely in our household about the current political climate. I want them to use their privilege for good and to know that life is not equal for everyone."
"Be patient with yourself. Plain and simple, just be patient."
"As of right now, no. But I'm only 29, so who knows."
"My youngest son Keegan has been working with specialists since he was 18 months old. I knew nothing about autism when he was diagnosed. It's been a range of emotions the last 7 years. There have been times of denial, times of joy, heartbreak, and resentment. Times of insane amounts of growth and moments of pure magic and bliss. Keegan is extraordinary, but it's also been incredibly hard. I honestly remember the time when I completely accepted the fact that Keegan might never talk, or might never have a full conversation with me. I think it was then that I found peace for myself and stopped trying to envision someone that Keegan just wasn't. Since then, he has used his talker to tell me all sorts of things. He's become super cheeky and his personality has thrived and blossomed. I think it's just built in you to have expectations of our kids and what we think is right or how they should be. I have broken that down and shut all of that away, because what I got instead was even better than anything I could have imagined. Do I wish his life was easier for him? Absolutely! Do I wish that we lived in a world that was more accepting and compassionate to kids like him? Yes! But autism and Keegan have taught us so many things about what is important in life that I don't think we would have learned other wise."
"My kid is not dumb and just because he is non verbal doesn't mean he doesn't know what you are saying! It truly grinds my teeth to hear people refer to kids with autism as 'autistic' or that they are not intelligent. They are crazy intuitive and are beyond intelligent. It's 'kids with autism,' not 'autistic children.' I think when we refer to kids as autistic it keeps them in a box that confines them to this one thing. It's not who my son is, but what he has."
"I strongly believe in using what God gave you for good, and that is art for me. I'm an artist and so are my boys. We just completed a body of work together and put on a show raising money for autism. I find it incredible when kids enjoy and love art, but for Keegan it is far more then just loving it. When we don't understand him he will draw a picture of what he wants or write something down. I just think it's my job as his mother to nurture that part of him and to then use that to bring further awareness to autism and the many faces of it."
"Simply just allow yourself to feel. Feel whatever you are feeling at the time. I think we get into these situations where we feel so much guilt for just being human. I've cursed autism before. I have hated moments of it, I have found joy in it, and have found peace. I think we need to allow ourselves as special needs moms to feel the feelings so that we can heal and that we can do what's best for our kids."
"I tend to lean more into comfort than anything else. On occasion you'll find me head to toe with bursts of bright colors and my go-to head wraps."
"Oh, for sure. Getting dressed was a lot more fun when I was younger. Now I'm just like, 'What can I wear that's both comfortable and makes me look like a somewhat respectable person?'"
"My head wraps are what I wear on a weekly basis and, of course, my new jeans from Zara! I love love love Zara, but I'm not really into designers. My budget just really doesn't have room for it."
"I just recently decided to go with a plant-based diet. It's been hard at times, but ultimately so rewarding. As far as working out, it doesn't really pick up for me until it gets warmer here."
"I'm still working on that one. At the moment, my business has kind of taken off, which means less time for myself and more about providing and being what my family needs. When I do get a chance to just do me it usually has something to do with art, galleries, or nature. Being outside for me is my way of resetting."
"I am a full-time artist and am currently working on a few mural projects and helping design a new co-working space."
"I was born in Michigan, but grew up in sunny south Florida. I attended an arts high school, called Dreyfoos School of the Arts, but never went to college. Shortly after high school I had Dylan and threw myself into motherhood and starting my old specialty cake business."
"It absolutely has, but I also think this was what I was always meant to do. My kids just gave me even more motivation to succeed and to not look back. It is because of my love for art that brought about my current show we had as a family, bridging the gap using art between autism for Keegan and what we don't understand as being a typical."
"I think so. When we lived in Florida my husband's father and step mom were our go-to babysitters. They created such an amazing, safe, and fun space for our boys in their home. Here in Cleveland, though, we don't have any family, so we've really had to put ourselves out there to make meaningful relationships. Our life isn't for everyone and not everyone takes the time to get to know Keegan. We do have a handful of friends that we really love and trust and that have showed up for us."
"Oh gosh, I'm still trying to figure it all out. I think in my line of work creating goes hand in hand with my emotions. If I'm not taking care of myself, it's hard to produce the work. I definitely don't believe in balance. As a mother and business woman, in some ways, one will over suffer. Some days I give more to my business, so our family can thrive. Other times it's all about my kids and my business suffers. I just think it's coming to the understanding that I'm not perfect and will never balance the two perfectly."
"Continuously! The dynamic at times between Dylan and Keegan can be stressful. Feeling like I'm not giving enough to Dylan because Keegan requires so much. But also feeling like I should be doing more for Keegan and his progress. The only way I really know how to combat it is just talking to friends. They keep me in check and have no problem yelling at me when I doubt myself or the constant love I give my boys."
"I think about it every single day! I've said it before, but it's important for me to show my kids that dreams are possible. There have been things in my life I've struggled with, but I want them to know that they can overcome obstacles and be greater because of it. I want them to see a strong woman of color doing exactly what she loves and doing it well."
"The list is endless! For one, I plan on having two more shows before the year is done."
"Cleveland is incredible! The nature parks and activities offered to kids are endless. Cleveland just has this sense of family already that I love being apart of. Summers here are incredible with the boys."
"Florida is home, but I don't see our family moving back. For right now, with our situation with Keegan's school, I don't see us moving any time soon."
"Too many! We have the most beautiful art museum here, The Cleveland Museum of Art. Also the Cleveland Metroparks, which are stunning and also known as 'the emerald necklace.' Shopping usually happens once a month at The Cleveland Flea. For eating and drinking, you'll usually find me at L'Albatros, Cleveland Vegan, Luna Bakery, and so many more."

Alex is an inspiration to all of us. Despite the fact that he has been battle cancer for the last 3 years, he has dedicated his life to reducing his carbon footprint. He has selflessly voluntarily worked numerous hours in East San Jose as his passion remains to have a clean environment for his neighbors to enjoy. He has focused his attention on recycling glass, plastic and aluminum. He has also composted his backyard and is growing vegetables. He believes in self-sustainability and has worked towards reducing his water usage. The City of San Jose and Mayor Sam Liccardo commended his effort by giving Alex the SAVE THE PLANT award.
This has not been easy because his personal challenges with Osteosarcoma. Alex was diagnosed in March 2012 at just 15 years old. His cancer is terminal. He has had over 22 surgeries on his leg, lungs and mid-section. He suffered through numerous rounds of aggressive chemotherapy, but the cancer continues to return. In November of last year, he was given two weeks to live with a terminal diagnosis; yet he is still here today.
Alex desperately wants to live. Yet during his battle, he has inspired a community with his recycling and trash cleanup projects in order to "save the planet". His mom is a single parent since Alex was one-year-old. She continues to hold a job at a dentist office but rarely gets an opportunity to work because she is taking care of Alex. She feels so blessed that the dentist is so compassionate and has not terminated her. However, mortgage payments and bills are high in the bay area, and Alex constantly worries about how his mom will keep up; both now and when he is gone. Alex hopes that some assistance will help alleviate some of the burden on his mom so they can spend time together chasing rainbows and dreams in the time he has left.

Кристиан VI (, ) — король Дании и Норвегии с 12 октября 1730 года. Из Ольденбургской династии.

Сын датского короля Фредерика IV и Луизы Мекленбург-Гюстровской. Женился на Софии Магдалене Бранденбург-Кульмбахской, дочери Кристиана Генриха Бранденбург-Кульмбахского.

Личность Кристиана
Кристиан известен, прежде всего, как религиозный правитель. Воспитание он получил более тщательное, нежели предыдущие правители. Его учителя были приверженцами пиетизма. Выросший под их влиянием Кристиан был глубоко предан этому мистическому течению и в течение всего правления старался распространить его среди своих подданных.

Религиозное давление наряду с недостатком личного обаяния сделало его одним из самых непопулярных королей Дании. Позже историки пытались изменить его образ, подчёркивая, что он был не только нетерпимым, но ещё и трудолюбивым и добросовестным государственным деятелем. Негативное впечатление о нём, однако, сохранилось.

Политика
Главным событием внутренней политики было принятие в 1733 году закона, запрещавшего крестьянам покидать своё постоянное место жительства, им также вменялось в обязанность подчиняться местной знати и армии (). Хотя первоначальная идея заключалась в обеспечении постоянного числа солдат из числа крестьян, он был расценен как окончательное подчинение датского крестьянства, ликвидировав результаты принятого при Фредерике IV акта об отмене крепостного права. Закон очень навредил репутации короля и в 1788 году был отменён.

Религиозные воззрения Кристиана, конечно, очень влияли на церковную политику государства. На первый взгляд ему удалось добиться своих целей, но приходские священники и простой народ тайно сопротивлялись проводимой политике, и после смерти короля пиетизм быстро потерял поддержку в государстве. Но это не означает, что он не оставил никакого следа в истории Дании. Он повлиял на поэзию того времени, среди последователей пиетизма был поэт и епископ Ганс Адольф Брорсон. Другим итогом деятельности Кристиана было введение конфирмации в 1736 году.

Во внешней политике того времени преобладали стремления к сохранению мира, Дания строго соблюдала нейтралитет. Торговля и коммерция успешно развивались, были основаны новые компании и банки.

Культура
Помимо религиозной деятельности правление Кристиана связано с широкомасштабными строительными работами. Его супруга также принимала деятельное участие в строительстве. Среди зданий того времени:
замок Кристиансборг (построен в 1732-42 годы, сгорел в 1794 году, перестроен);
дворец Хиршхольм (построен в 1737-39 годы, разрушен в 1812 году) на севернее Зеландии;
Эрмитаж (построен в 1734-36 годы).
Эти роскошные здания были возведены для олицетворения величия Дании, но также стали тяжёлым экономическим бременем для населения.

Всё время царствования Кристиана первый национальный театр «Датская сцена», основанный при его отце, был закрыт. Постановки возобновились только в 1748 году. Великий датский драматург Людвиг Хольберг положил перо в самом расцвете своего творчества. Кристиан, впрочем, заботился о процветании наук, распространении просвещения, улучшении судопроизводства, торговли, промышленности.

С детства Кристиан был слаб здоровьем, что и привело к его преждевременной кончине. Похоронен он был в соборе города Роскилле. Скульптор Йоханнес Видевельт по поручению жены Кристиана построил мемориал в стиле неоклассицизма, что положило начало распространению этого художественного течения в Дании. Памятник был сделан из мрамора и закончен в 1768 году, но был установлен только к 1777 году. Он представляет собой саркофаг с двумя женскими фигурами «Sorgen» («Горе») и «Berømmelsen» («Известность»).

Потомки
В браке с Софией Магдаленой родилось трое детей:
 Фредерик V (1723—1766), король Дании, женат на принцессе Луизе Великобританской (1724—1751), затем на принцессе Юлиане Брауншвейг-Вольфенбюттельской (1729—1796)
 Луиза (1724—1724)
 Луиза (1726—1756), замужем за герцогом Эрнстом Фридрихом III Саксен-Гильдбурггаузенским (1727—1780)

At Mosaic, we believe the church should be a movement that continually pushes forward. That means that above all else—we can't lose sight of our mission – which is to see the lost, broken and skeptical find new life in Christ. One of the primary ways we keep this mission in our focus is by keeping people who attend Mosaic connected to and actively engaged in this mission.
We believe that when you join the mission, you own the mission. Rather than having membership, we choose to ask people to partner in our mission. The idea is that our attitudes would be more about "we" than "me. That we would link arms and take the hill that God has called us to take… together.

Joe & Co. Use EVERYTHING As an Excuse to DESTROY AMERICA
August 18, 2021 March 15, 2022
***Natural health, success, and freedom are under attack as never before. Old School is fighting for YOU! Please DONATE to support our critical work. Thank you!***
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within…"
–Taylor Caldwell, paraphrasing Cicero
Resident Joe & Co. have already just about brought America to its knees with their stupidity / adherence to Evil.
Our border is wide open to secure more Democrat voters, extend COVID, provide a rationale for the experimental "vaccines," and damage Republican governors.
They've intentionally killed our energy independence, and have now had to beg (unsuccessfully) OPEC to boost their oil supply, while keeping a domestic oil ban in place.
Skyrocketing inflation has made any recent pay raises disappear.
They've pushed ridiculous mask and insane "vaccine" mandates, and are now telling every American to get a "booster"–another jab.
They've gutted our military through pushing critical race theory, and pushing patriotic soldiers out. Now, Biden's Pentagon has ordered all soldiers to be vaccinated.
The Afghanistan Fiasco
Biden & Co. created all this havoc BEFORE the Afghanistan pullout fiasco, which is becoming the greatest humiliation America has ever endured.
Our two-decade war in Afghanistan has already been a net negative for our country. Attempting to "nation build"–keeping our troops there has killed and maimed our soldiers, drained our economy, and stretched our defenses, yet it kept the military industrial complex humming.
President Trump's decision to withdraw our troops was a good one, but Joe & Co's EXECUTION of the withdraw is a slow-motion horror show.
As Trump pointed out in his interview with Sean Hannity, Joe removed the troops FIRST! He left military hardware for the Taliban to use against the Afghan people and possibly Americans.
Meanwhile, our enemies insult us to our face. The Taliban is telling us to get out of Afghanistan by September 11th! Hmmmm…. does that date remind you of anything?
And China slammed our hurried withdrawal. Anybody had enough of China's lectures? They've wasted no time, and dispatched warships, aircraft, and fighter jets off the coast of Taiwan after the fall of Afghanistan.
So what were U.S. priorities at the time of the fall of Afghanistan? The U.S. Embassy in Kabul was celebrating PRIDE month as the Taliban launched its final campaign to retake the country!
Refugees–An "Unintended" Consequence?
One of the worst "unintended" consequences of our Afghanistan debacle could be the flood of Afghan refugees. While we would certainly like to help those who have helped us, it's not that simple.
White House spokewoman Jen Psaki would not guarantee the evacuation of Americans stranded in Afghanistan after August 31st:
Our focus right now is on doing the work at hand and on the task at hand," Psaki said Tuesday in response to a question as to whether she could offer any "guarantee" that Americans still stuck in Afghanistan after the administration's withdrawal deadline would still be evacuated. "And that is day by day, getting as many American citizens, as many SIV applicants, as many members of vulnerable population who are eligible to be evacuated, to the airport and out on planes."
As Tucker Carlson pointed out on his show, there is NO PRIORITY TO GET AMERICANS OUT FIRST! Tucker noted that Psaki lumped American citizens in with SIV applicants (Special Immigration Visas for Afghans) and "vulnerable" populations, whatever that means.
Tucker interviewed Virginia Senate candidate and former infantry platoon leader in Afghanistan Sean Parnell, who told the story of how he worked with an Afghan interpreter for more than a year before the interpreter helped terrorists plant an I.E.D. explosive that killed a member of Parnell's platoon, and seriously injured four others. Go to 3:25 of the above video link to see the exchange with Tucker.
But Joe & Co., along with some weak Republican Senators, salivate at bringing Afghan refugees to America. I'm sure there will be some who love freedom, who were quite helpful to our cause, and who would likely make fine Americans.
If an Afghani truly helped America, we should give them special attention in considering immigration, no question. But we must be extremely careful, as even someone in this category could have questionable loyalty, like the interpreter Sean Parnell mentioned.
And you know the reality is that we WON'T be all that careful. So prepare your area for a new wave of refugees! A Pentagon spokesman admitted that of the cargo plane seen leaving the Kabul airport with 640 passengers jammed together, only 150 of those were Americans!
In fact, the Biden administration has already announced plans to "immediately house 30,000 or more Afghans at military bases in the U.S., and authorized $500 million to "relocate refugees."
We CANNOT Survive Another 3+ Years of This!
Biden & Co. are a blight on this country. It does not matter the reason for the hell they've brought us, though to me and millions of other Americans, it's obvious that the destruction of our country is BY DESIGN. Nobody could be this stupid! We know that Biden is not calling the shots anyway, so it isn't him.
Obama did the same thing to America–though in a much slower fashion. And Obama is no idiot. Evil to the core, sure, but not an idiot. By the way, remember the $5 Billion and the "Taliban Five" that Obama traded for Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl? Well, it turns out that this same "Taliban Five" were instrumental in the overthrow of Afghanistan.
Today, Biden put the icing on the cake, causing an uproar by promoting COVID vaccine "booster" shots and masks for schoolchildren while Afghanistan is in chaos, and after his speech, walking away, taking no questions!
It looks like GOD has already weighed in on this mess–a bolt of lightening hit the Washington Monument!
So when are the American People going to weigh in?
Joe & Co. need to go!
But Impeachment is not a viable option at this point. First of all, Republicans don't have the votes. But even if they achieved a majority next November, Impeaching Joe would just leave Kamala, and after her, Pelosi.
Every elected official who did NOTHING to challenge the election results, resulting in Joe the fraud getting into power–is to blame for this abomination. And the People's response to the election integrity audits is too weak to light a fire under our elected officials. So yes–WE are to blame too.
I get complaints from some "conservatives" who don't like me blaming them–us– for what is happening in our country. What would they like me to do–congratulate them?
These election audits must conclude, with no more resistance from the RINOS. And action must be taken once we see the results. I cannot stand hearing that people are doing this hard work just to "make sure it doesn't happen again."
When in the history of our judicial system is a criminal not punished for his crimes? And we just make sure he doesn't commit the crime again?!
This is madness.
If audits find enough fraud to overturn state's elections, then overturn them! Otherwise we have sanctioned a fraud!
And if the evidence dictates that enough states need to overturn their elections to change the 2020 election outcome, then re-install Trump as President of the United States!
I know this is very unlikely, since there are almost no guts left in the United States, but what is the alternative?
Just wait Joe & Co. out and let our Republic die???
Time to Get Busy!
People all over the world are protesting their country's overreach. But where are Americans?
This government has lost all moral authority to lead.
Nobody is going to stop this madness except for the American People. It's game time!

10 books recommended by crime reporter Norman Miller
Norman Miller
If there was a positive about the year of COVID-19, it is that it allowed me more time to indulge my love of reading.
Between working from home and several weeks of furlough, I've read more than 60 books since April.
Here are my 10 favorites that I read this year. They're not all new books, but they were new to me. They'd all make great gifts for the book lover in your life this holiday season
"Cirque Berserk," by Jessica Guess, 111 pages, published by Unnerving, 2020.
If you like the bloody and gory movies from the 1980s and early 1990s, this is the book for you. Taking part in a haunted carnival, there's tons of violence and gore. Despite the book being so short, author Jessica Guess does a good job of introducing you to the various characters enough to make you care for them before the bad stuff starts to happen.
"Gettysburg," by Stephen W. Sears, 640 pages, published by Mariner Books, 2004.
Spoiler alert: the North wins, we know that, but author Stephen W. Sears brings you inside the battle like no other author has ever done before. You feel tense reading it, wondering what's going to happen next. The description of warfare and the real-life participants in this crucial battle is incredible. I've never been so engrossed in a story of battle as this.
"Horrorstör," Gary Hendrix, 248 pages, published by Quirk Books, 2014.
Gary Hendrix is my favorite newly discovered author of 2020. I read four of his books and this is the best. He is a master of having his stories in settings you do not expect horror to take place. In this case, it's in an Ikea rip-off furniture store. You'd think this would lead to a horror novel with a lot of wink-winks, nod-nods, but that's not the case. Great read, and physically, the book is great because it's set up almost like a furniture catalog. Make sure to read the descriptions of different pieces of furniture at the beginning of each chapter.
"In the Hurricane's Eye: The Genius of George Washington and the Victory of Yorktown," by Nathaniel Philbrick, 366 pages, published by Viking, 2018.
Nathaniel Philbrick is my favorite nonfiction author. A lot of historical nonfiction falls into an almost book-report style writing. Philbrick, on the other hand, is a fabulous narrative writer, giving you a fiction-style flow to the story that keeps your attention. Yorktown was a famous battle during the American Revolutionary War, but this brings the behind-the-scenes happenings into the forefront, showing how close it didn't happen, leaving you wondering what would the country be like now if it didn't.
"The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper," Hallie Rubenhold, 432 pages, published by Doubleday, 2019.
Often, books about famous killers are concentrated on the life and story of the perpetrator, while the victims are almost an aside. Hallie Rubenhold tells the often-sad stories for the five known victims of Jack the Ripper, as well as how society set these women up to be ready-made victims for these still-unsolved crimes.
"The Monster of Florence," Douglas Preston and Mario Spezi, 336 pages, published by Grand Central Publishing, 2008.
After covering crime for the past 20 years, I rarely read true crime novels anymore – reminds me too much of work. "The Monster of Florence," is an exception. It follows the fascinating case of a serial killer in Italy, but even more fascinating, it's a look at the Italian criminal justice system. I don't care what you think of the U.S. justice system, I dare anyone to read this book and come away with confidence that perpetrators of serious crimes face justice in Italy.
"The Rust Maidens," Gwendolyn Kiste, 252 pages, published by Trepidatio Publishing, 2018.
This is a beautifully written book that tells the story split between two time periods – 1980 and current day. The Rust Maidens are the names of several neighborhood girls who are somehow changed by the local steel mill. It's hard to categorize this book. Kind of horror, kind of a look at society. Either way, it's a wonderful book that has an almost fairy tale quality to it at different points of the story.
"The Saturday Night Ghost Club," Craig Davidson, 253 pages, published by Knopf Canada, 2018.
A whimsical coming-of-age story featuring the summer in the life of a young boy, his new friend and his "wild" older sister, and his uncle, who has a dark background that affects everything in the book. This is the kind of book that will bring you a lot of nostalgia with more than a touch of sadness. Don't be surprised if a tear or two run down your cheek.
"Vampire a Go-Go," Victor Gischler, 337 pages, published by Touchstone, 2009.
Vampires – check. Werewolves – check. Witches – check. Jesuit death squads – check. This is a crazy book, but in the best way possible. It's a whirlwind of adventure, violence and monstrous creatures, all narrated by the ghost of an alchemist. Honestly, this is the kind of book that I think would be best read while using some sort of substance. It's a ride.
"White Pines," Gemma Amor, 442 pages, self-published, 2002.
A nice creepy story with religious overtones. The pacing is perfect, the dialogue is excellent and the main villains are fantastic. "White Pines," features a woman who returns unknowingly to her birthright after her marriage falls apart. What follows will give you some legitimate chills and a mystery about what is going on and how it will end. There is an overwhelming feeling of dread and it leaves you wondering if there's any way things will go well for the protagonist.

Top 10 British cars to buy right now
1968-2006 Morgan Plus 8 — An aluminum V-8 in a car similar to an MG TF is a recipe for big fun and the Moggie delivers. Recently out of production and always in demand, there's nowhere to go but up. $35,000-$65,000
1978-79 TVR 3000S roadster — A bit obscure, but this car really has it all, great looks, a sophisticated tube chassis and plenty of power via a 2.9-liter Ford V-6. Low production numbers mean a potentially long search, but this is one vehicle that's bound to appreciate in the long run. $16,000-$20,000
1967-74 Lotus Elan +2 — One of if not the only case of the 2+2 coupe being prettier than the roadster, the Elan +2 may well be the prettiest collector car you can buy for under $25,000. Rare, from a storied marque, quick and very attractive make for a good proposition for future appreciation. $15,000-$22,000
1977-80 Lotus Esprit S1-S2 — Another Lotus, this one the wedge icon Esprit by Giorgetto Giugiaro. Good enough for 007 to use in several outings, Esprits are the supercar bargain and not likely to stay cheap forever. $12,000-$15,000
1995-2004 Aston Martin DB7 — The DB7 sits on the cusp between used car and collectible — it's finished depreciating and nearly anything Aston Martin has been hot in the collector car market of late. Hold time may be a bit longer, but it seems a relative certainty for collectability. Opt for a manual transmission coupe. $26,000-$60,000
1989-2000 Aston Martin Virage — The DB7's predecessor was a hand-built car in the tradition of the David Brown-era cars. It's big, brawny and fast and stands out as undervalued among Astons and supercars in general. Like the DB7, a manual transmission coupe is the way to go. $35,000-$70,000
Triumph TR8 — Sub-$15,000 V-8 roadsters are thin on the ground these days. While the wedge styling of the TR8 is a bit polarizing and quality control issues were legendary, survivors have been sorted out and can be quite entertaining. $9,000-$15,000
Jensen Interceptor — A British interior complete with Connolly leather and a polished walnut dash, Italian styling by Vignale and a Chrysler 440 V-8 can only be a Jensen Interceptor. They're worth twice in the UK what they're bringing now in the U.S. This situation won't last indefinitely. Buy one right now. $15,000-$25,000
Alvis TD/TF21 — Relatively unknown in the U.S., the Alvis TS21 has the same upper-crust British look as a Rolls or a Bentley, but with available ZF 5-speed gearboxes and wire wheels, is much more sporting. They're generally priced at about half of what you'd think to look at them. $25,000-$50,000
Jaguar E-type SIII — Some people compare the SIII E-type to the 1970s version of Elizabeth Taylor. Still, the complex V-12 SIII has its merits. Anything else with a V-12 in front, wire wheels and a manual transmission will set you back more than $600,000. Prices have been on the rise lately. $25,000-$65,000

Microsoft's Bing. Launched in June 2009, the "Decision Engine" met with rather low expectations. Today, it has some 90 million users and is the only major search engine to gain market share in November Google is not the only one with their eyes on Bing.
Bing's share increased from 11.5 percent to 11.8 percent. True, this is a statistically insignificant amount, considering Google's considerable majority, but what does make it significant is that it is the second month of improvement for Bing. Both Google and Yahoo saw their market shares fall, albeit at a very small 0.1 percent.
Why, then, should websites concern themselves with optimising for Bing? 1.9 billion searches, while only a fraction of Google's 10.6 billion, is still almost 2 billion searches. Bing also did itself a huge favor by partnering with Facebook. More and more people are using social networking sites and search engines, and Microsoft hopes that aligning themselves with the world's number 2 website will make a substantial difference.
Bing users can view results that have been given the thumbs up by their Facebook friends, and recent upgrades have given them a mobile app to make restaurant reservations and order takeout possible. Bing also plans to make image searches more convenient and develop a preview option similar to Google Preview.
By becoming a hub for searches and social media, Bing is hoping to take a few billion of those 10.6 billion searches away from Google.

Ed's Cosmic Pizza Blab: Cheese
[Photograph: J. Kenji Lopez-Alt]
On my way to a memorial service the other day I stopped for a slice of pizza at Naples 45 in Grand Central Station in New York. Adam Kuban, Nick Solares, and others have told me and written about the slices they have been selling there in the last year or so. This memorial service happened to be a block from the pizzeria, and memorial services don't usually feature much in the way of food: hence my stop for a slice.
I ordered a slice of Margherita D.O.C., which appeared to be freshly made. It turned out to be hot enough, with a surprisingly good, pliant crust and what tasted like simple crushed packaged tomatoes as a sauce. The cheese tasted like buffalo mozzarella, which was fine except for one thing: it, and therefore the slice as a whole, lacked salt. This rather elaborate and elongated intro leads me to the topic of this rant: cheese on pizza.
I know I am committing pizza purist heresy here, but I have to have a certain amount of saltiness emanating from the topping of the pizza. That means simple unadorned fiore de latte, or fresh unsalted mozzarella, or even buffalo mozzarella, on their own, unadorned with nothing added, do not cut it for me. So if a pizza is going to have only one kind of cheese as a topping, I prefer high-quality aged, low-moisture, whole milk mozzarella, which has a distinctly salty taste. Pizza police, I know I am going to become a wanted man with this proclamation, but so be it. I can take the heat.
Of course this doesn't mean that using only aged mozzarella is the one single way to please me, cheese-wise.
[Photgraph: Adam Kuban]
Anthony Mangieri at Una Pizza Napoletana solves the salt problem by throwing a handful of Sicilian sea salt on his Margherita, which features excellent buffalo mozzarella. The legendary Domenico DeMarco uses four cheeses, I believe: fresh mozzarella, Grana Padano, aged mozzarella, and Pecorino Romano, the last one being the saltiest one of the bunch. One of the things that makes so much New Haven pizza so good is that they use Pecorino Romano and aged mozzarella on almost every pie that comes out of those great pizza ovens. One way or another, I believe great pizza needs a certain amount of saltiness to be great. Accomplished pizzaiolos know this and have come up with many saline solutions (ha!). Every great pizza maker I know, from the aformentioned Mangieri, Chris Bianco, to Nick Lesons at Great Lake, to Brian Spangler at Apizza Scholls, to Nancy Silverton at Mozza, understands this truth to be self-evident.
Here's the esteemed Mr. Kuban's take on the topic:
Yeah. Given the choice, I'll almost always go with the "aged" whole-milk mozzarella (aka "regular mozzarella") over the fresh stuff. It's got a bit more flavor.
Prof. Kuban [Photograph: Robyn Lee]
Plus, I really like when it gets to that point where it's almost burned. Not BURNED burned, but dotted with bits of browned, crisp cheese. It gives the pizza an extra dimension of flavor and texture. A little nutty, maybe, and chewy in a good way. Ideally, those spots are mixed with bits of perfectly melted, oozy, creamy cheese.
My take on fresh mozzarella is that it can make for an amazing pizza experience—only if the crust and sauce are flavorful. If those other components are bland, adding another bland layer on there ain't doing much.
Adam wrote a great post about the different types of mozzarella.

So am I crazy, serious Slice'rs? Is Mr. Kuban pizzafully deranged? Do tell.

This gallery is dedicated to Atlantic Puffins (Fratercula arcticus), often called the 'clown of the sea'. All of the images contained within this gallery were taken on the island of Skomer, off the Pembrokshire coast, South Wales. By spending two nights on the island, I had plenty of opportunity to photograph the puffins throughout the day, as well as at the preferred times of sunrise and sunset, meaning there was plenty of opportunity to photograph them in beautiful warm light and capture a range of images. I'm really looking forward to a return trip in summer 2015!

Is development the result of genetics or the result of the love, guidance and the upbringing one receives? That is a very interesting and personal question. In reviewing Table 4. 1 in the textbook regarding where the main developmental theories stand on the six themes in development, it appears that most of the theorists involved believe that both nature and nurture have an impact on the development of the child (Child Development: A Thematic Approach (3 rd. ed. ) (Bukato, Daehler, 1998, p. 29). The Ethological theme reports that although behavior is biologically based the environment has an impact and influences behavior patterns.
Most of the other themes such as the Learning Theory and the Socio culture Theory are based on nurture or environmental experiences with some biological experiences. An article on the Internet titled Quotations about Nature, Nurture, and Nature via Nurture (1998), reports that there are in fact three nature vs. nurture issues rather than just one. They concern what is innate, what is inherited, and what is important? What is innate to the species, in this case, Homosapiens? Features of human behavior and experience arise from the genes that are shared and without most of which a human child is unlikely to be born with?
What is inherited? We can look at genetically similar or even identical twins that grow up in different environments, thus allowing us to learn whether environmental differences, between families, contribute to final observable differences in behavior and personality. Not all physical factors appear to be genetically inherited. For example, the best-known example of this is the case of eye colors in Homosapiens; two brown-eyed parents can have a blue-eyed child if each of them carries the recessive gene for blue eyes as well as the dominant gene for brown eyes. Finally, what is important? With genetic cloning a fact, not a possibility, a society has to determine what is important to them in today&# 9619; s culture.
Discussion such as &# 8992; Is it more important to have smart or good-looking children? &# 9632; Or, &# 8992; As a society will we allow genetic defects such as dwarfism? &# 9632; There is much controversy regarding this developing topic and I am sure much more to come. The previously cited article reports that most current psychologists admit that it is impossible to prove nature vs. nurture outcomes because there are such complex interactions that effect all development processes in a child. Growing up within the larger scheme of things is the concept of the Socio culture theme. This theory indicates that the community one grows up in has a great impact on what experiences, beliefs and values they will have.
Every society changes over time. Some change rapidly; others seem to stay virtually unchanged for generations. But, however slowly, change does occur. Communication and language are two important aspects that play major roles in the socio culture development. Functions of communication such as, actions, words, behaviors, settings, topics and / or events all envelope the different forms and styles of communication that members of the group or culture utilize. Factors such as proximity, the space people need or use for themselves within a community, and the poverty cycle are very important in the development of an individual and a culture.
Children are biologically predisposed to develop language and the environment triggers rather than serves as a stage of development. A child learns most and is most impressionable during the first five years of his life. Therefore, a child in poverty is exposed to his environment, and that is what they know, even before entering into the educational system. This has a lot to do with the continuation of the poverty cycle. An example that I am familiar with at work is with families involved with Child Protective Services (CPS) and the subject of discipline or communicating through the use of corporal punishment. In some cultures spanking is perfectly acceptable.
When a person is CPS involved because of neglect due to addiction, it is not conducive to the goal of reunification to hit or spank child. Teaching CPS participants can be challenging because it is sometimes very difficult for them to understand different concepts when corporal punishment is what their culture and society has deemed the norm. A child plays an active role in his or her development by the way he responds to being taught. In each of the theories described in the textbook it is apparent that the child plays an active role. Even in the learning theory where the child is not active in behavior analysis but engages the environment to determine what is learned in social cognitive theory (Child Development: A Thematic Approach (3 rd. ed. ) (Bukato, Daehler, 1998, p. 33).
In contextual theories the child is biologically equipped to deal with the environment yet actively engaged with the environment. The relationship between the biological and environment are always influencing each other. I am inclined to favor Pilot&# 9619; s theory that a child&# 9619; s knowledge is constructed; that the child is always thinking therefore, always active in its development. Is development continuous or discontinuous? Continuous is flowing and discontinuous is stages. When children get better with each task so that it becomes natural for them to move on to the next task that is continuous development.
A child is going to go through puberty; that would be identified as a stage. The textbook shows that the learning, information processing, socio culture and ethological theories are all continuous (Child Development: A Thematic Approach (3 rd. ed. ) (Bukato, Daehler, 1998, p. 33). The smooth transitions in the Learning theory is when a child enters school or is able now able to complete algebraic problems. In the Psychosocial theory, the stages are set but individuals can go through the stages in their own pace. Piagetian theory describes four stages as Sensory Motor Period, Pre operational Period, Period of Concrete Operations and Period of Formal Operations.
Each stage is set and although can be individualized (time frame), it is not individual as to expectations of what will happen. It is important for parents to know what stages a child may go through so they may be sure the expectations they have for their child at a given age are realistic. In reviewing the chart it appears that most theories report that individual differences are not playing a major role in the theories. Even in the socio culture theory it reports that although unique events contribute to how the individual behaves there are many other factors influencing the child&# 9619; s development.
In Erikson theory where he describes set events and outcomes on Table 1. 3 in the textbook (Child Development: A Thematic Approach (3 rd. ed. ) (Bukato, Daehler, 1998, p. 33), these stages are common to every individual in every culture. He reports that at in each of his eight stages, individuals must adapt to the demands of their own society and culture that are placed on them. Child development is the study of all aspects of human growth and change.
It is an interdisciplinary, scientific, and applied field of study. Researchers often divide the subject of development into three broad domains, physical, cognitive, and emotional and social. Social-moral includes interpersonal and intra personal goals. Cognitive includes logical-mathematical, physical, and conventional knowledge including symbolic and language development.
Physical includes motor skills, health, and safety. All have a direct impact on all areas of child development. There is considerable current debate concerning what society know about these domains as well as how and when they develop. There are many areas in which a child me be slow at developing which would increase the chances that it would effect any of the other domains.
I have always believed that what a child learns results in what they think and feel. In the learning theory, it is apparent that situations have much to do with learning ability. For example if a child is overweight, it will definitely affect their social and emotional development. They may not want to risk embarrassment by participating in groups, therefore, not socializing as often as another child that did not have this problem. On an emotional level this would lower self-esteem and decrease self worth.
On a learning level they may become quiet or shy and decrease their chances of speaking up in class, possibly decreasing the chances for intellectual learning. In conclusion, it appears that components of each theme influence how we view, parent and educate our children. Many theories, especially modern ones, take a balanced point of view and recognize the merits of all sides of these issues. Each theme discussed brings it own perspective on children and how they develop. In recent years, the field of child development has become increasingly concerned with applying its knowledge to the solution of pressing social problems faced by children and adolescents. Public policy, laws, and government programs designed to improve current conditions are essential for protecting childrens development as well as ongoing research in this area.

Historical Background: Puzzles have been a source of amusement and entertainment since the 3rd century B.C. It was in Greece that the oldest known "mechanical puzzle" consisted of a square cut into 14 parts. The object of this game was to create as many different shapes from these parts as possible.
As early as the 1600s, "puzzle-locks" were invented in Iran. There is mention of a game called "Sei Shona-gon Chie No-Ita" in a 1742 Japanese book. At the turn of the 19th century, the Chinese Tangram puzzle was created. The Tangram puzzle became a popular pastime in China, and its popularity spread to Europe and North America over the next two decades.
Tangram puzzles became so popular, in fact, that a company called Richter (Rudolstadt, Germany) began manufacturing Tangram-like puzzles of different shapes and sizes. These puzzles would later be known as "Anker-puzzles."
If there were a "golden age of puzzles," it was probably around the end of the 1800s and early part of the 20th century. It was during this period that the first patents for puzzles were granted. Since then, new types of puzzles have been created due to the inventions of new materials (particularly plastics) and manufacturing technologies (such as injection-tool molding).
Besides mechanical puzzles, there are other types of puzzles: "assembly puzzles," "disassembly puzzles," "interlocking puzzles," "disentanglement puzzles," "fold puzzles," "lock puzzles," "trick vessels," "impossible objects," "dexterity puzzles," "letter-dissection puzzles," "sequential movement puzzles," and "simulated mechanical puzzles" (mechanical puzzles on computers).
Our Pyramid Puzzle (2103) was invented by E.T. Johnson in 1940. His puzzle would later be marketed under the name "Pyramid Twins." Today, the Pyramid Puzzle is recognized as one of the world's most ingenious two-piece puzzles ever invented! And because of its deceiving simplicity, the Pyramid Puzzle remains a popular puzzle for kids of all ages as well as puzzle collectors.
Fun Fact: The largest known puzzle collection is in England and contains around 50,000 puzzles. It took seven people over 100 years to acquire puzzles for this collection!
Fun Fact: The Pyramid Puzzle is a four-sided polyhedron called a tetrahedron. This type of pyramid is one of the five Platonic bodies that includes the hexagon (cube), dodecahedron, octahedron, and icosahedron.
