But even as matters deteriorate, the discoveries made in the Taurus Reach have captured the imagination of one of the Federation's most promising scientific minds: Dr. Carol Marcus believes she is close to solving a puzzle that will transform her life's work. Meanwhile, an unexpected defection brings a new perspective to the investigation, and Vanguard's Lieutenant Ming Xiong is confronted with an artifact that could be the key to decoding the Taurus Meta-Genome.
But with Operation Vanguard teetering between its greatest breakthrough and a conflict that could engulf two quadrants, its future may depend on the man Starfleet has selected to replace Reyes as base commander: Admiral Heihachiro Nogura.

Cases December 8, 2022
Lake v. Hobbs – Electronic Voting Machines (AZ)
U.S. DISTRICT COURT IN THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA
In This Resource
On April 22, 2022, Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake and secretary of state candidate Mark Finchem filed a complaint against Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs and members of the Maricopa County and Pima County Boards of Supervisors in the U.S. District Court in the District of Arizona requesting declaratory and injunctive relief to stop the use of accessible voting and electronic ballot tabulation machines in the 2022 midterm election and instead require election administrators to count all ballots by hand. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on May 4.
States United is serving as pro-bono co-counsel for Secretary Hobbs alongside Coppersmith Brockelman PLC. In a June 8 motion to dismiss the amended complaint, Secretary Hobbs made the case that:
The alleged "vulnerabilities" in voting and tabulation machines are speculative, inaccurate, and misleading. In fact, in Arizona, the vast majority of voters cast their votes on hand-marked paper ballots and even those votes cast on accessible voting machines, such as votes cast by voters with disabilities, are recorded on voter-verified paper ballots. In addition, the voting and tabulation machines undergo rigorous logic and accuracy testing before and after each election;
The plaintiffs brought their claims too late and too close to the start of the election;
The plaintiffs lack standing to file a complaint on behalf of "all Arizona voters" and rely on a "speculative chain of possibilities" where things could go wrong throughout the election process but have not;
The plaintiffs' request that election administrators count each ballot by hand instead of using an electronic tabulation machine is a policy preference and not for the court to decide; and
The plaintiffs' claims violate the 11th Amendment and should not have been filed in federal court, given that they simply demand compliance with existing Arizona state law.
The plaintiffs then, on June 15, filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to temporarily stop the use of electronic tabulation machines. Secretary Hobbs filed an opposition to this motion on June 22. The court held a hearing on the plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction and the defendants' motions to dismiss on July 21.
On August 12, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors filed a motion for sanctions against plaintiffs Kari Lake and Mark Finchem and their counsel for allegations in their complaint that are "unfounded, asserted without a reasonable inquiry, and asserted for an improper purpose."
On August 26, U.S. District Judge John J. Tuchi granted Secretary Hobbs' and Maricopa County's motions to dismiss, holding, among other things, that Lake and Finchem lacked standing. In his order, Judge Tuchi noted that they put forward only "conjectural allegations of potential injuries that are in any event barred by the Eleventh Amendment, and seek relief that the Court cannot grant under the Purcell principle." The court also denied the plaintiff's request for a preliminary injunction.
On December 1, Judge Tuchi granted Maricopa County's motion for sanctions against lawyers for Lake and Finchem for their "frivolous" lawsuit. He also ordered them to pay for Maricopa County's attorneys' fees. Tuchi wrote that the sanctions were meant to make clear that the court won't condone litigants "furthering false narratives that baselessly undermine public trust at a time of increasing disinformation about, and distrust in, the democratic process."

Brave Like Gabe Foundation - Run MDI
Campaign created 1 month ago
Gabriele "Gabe" Grunewald (née Anderson) was a professional American middle-distance runner and lifelong Minnesotan, born and raised in Perham, MN (population 2,985).
She won a single track & field state title in the 800-meters competing for Perham High School. Gabriele walked-on to the University of Minnesota cross country and track & field teams in 2004, where she was a part of several Big Ten Championship squads and eventually became an NCAA track & field All-American with a runner-up finish in the 1500-meters in 2010, her final collegiate race. Her career highlights include a 4th-place finish in the 2012 USA Olympic Trials and a USA Championship title in the indoor 3000-meters in 2014. Her personal best in the 1500-meters is 4:01.48, making her the 11th fastest performer in USA history.
Gabriele survived multiple bouts with cancer. Initially diagnosed with a rare salivary gland cancer, adenoid cystic carcinoma, in 2009, and thyroid cancer in 2010. She experienced recurrences of adenoid cystic carcinoma in 2016 and 2017. "Brave Like Gabe" started as a hashtag of support and the foundation was formed in 2018 as a way for Gabriele to continue to share her story, connect with patients, and make a difference in the cancer community. She experienced firsthand the many challenges faced by rare cancer patients and the need for dedicated research funding. Gabriele also credited running and physical activity during all phases of her survivorship for helping her get through her cancer journey. She was passionate about sharing that experience with others in similar situations. The mission of the Brave Like Gabe Foundation is to support rare cancer research and empower cancer survivors through physical activity.
Gabriele had every intention of returning to elite competition and ultimately had her sights set on the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. "I'm open to miracles. I'm open to the possibility. If I get a chance to run, I'll 100 percent take it."
Gabriele ran professionally for Brooks from 2010 until her death in 2019.
"Let me be clear, Gabe did not lose. And cancer did not win. Cancer had to come back four times to get Gabe. That's not winning. That's one for four. She whooped cancer's ass three times." -Ben Blair, Photographer
Run MDI is pleased to support the Brave Like Gabe Foundation.

Youngsters give Tag Rugby a try with The Nottingham
Primary school pupils braved the April showers to enjoy a day of tag rugby courtesy of Leicester Tigers and club partner The Nottingham Building Society.
Youngsters from six primary schools across Leicestershire took part in a round-robin tournament at Vipers rugby club in Whetstone and got the chance to meet Tigers players Ben White, Charlie Thacker, George Catchpole and Afa Pakalani.
The festival was the conclusion of five-weeks of coaching from Tigers rugby development coaches.
The free NBS Tag Rugby programme supports primary school during PE lessons offering the chance to learn about tag rugby and compete against other schools in the area.
Following the tournament, the schools met in the Vipers clubhouse to dry off and each receive a T-shirt and pose for a photo with the Tigers players.
Pete Talbot, Tigers rugby development officer who runs the programme, said: "In spite of the weather, we've all had a great day and it's been very rewarding to see the school children getting stuck in and enjoying themselves.
Tag rugby is a great way of introducing youngsters to the game and links with clubs like the Vipers create a great pathway for any young player wanting to progress.
"A huge thank you to the rugby club and of course the team at NBS, whose support makes putting on such great events possible."
Reaching over 2,000 year 3 to 4 pupils each season, take a look at what each session has to offer and how you can get involved by emailing [email protected] or clicking below.

Growing up we've all tried to emulate some aspect of a band that we've fallen for. Even our parents would've gone for a hairstyle or wardrobe that echoed that of their musical infatuations(as much as we like to disagree, they were cool once, too).
It's a fact that music and aesthetics are two things that go hand in hand. Just look at the number of bands/artists who have their own fashion brands: Music is a format that allows freedom of expression, and when you want that to go beyond just your headphones, you wear it out loud.
So it's no surprise that there are many layers to this side of the game. Where some opt for a more direct approach—brazen symbolism/wardrobe/costume choices (see; Slipknot, KISS, Rammstein, Ghost, Hollywood Undead, etc.), there also are those who bring a more accessible approach with style.
They have that standing which puts them on a different plain to those you see walking down the street. Bands such as the Hives with their recurring album-cycle changing uniforms or Interpol bringing suave sophistication, all the way through to the Dickie shorts laden early years of pop punk and the gothic styling of Marilyn Manson and co. There was always a way to determine somewhere you belonged.
Of course, they both offer this escapism, but one is entirely removed, a beast of its own, while another allows you to express yourself without feeling separate from the rest of society—which is perfect, especially for alternative music. The trouble is, there seems to be fewer and fewer bands recognizing this important aspect.
So where are the new class of style, fashion and, most of all, substance? It's not completely removed, but it's becoming more of a unique sight.
As a starting point, aesthetic is an easier beast to tame. The reality is band members can each put on a similar look and all of a sudden it's a "thing," but there's more to this beneath the surface.
With said look comes an attitude, a style and substance that holds the glue together. Take for instance, Creeper. They create a world of their own in which their albums and fans come together in the ideals of friendship and just being you. The unifying symbol lives in the callous heart, a gothic calling card that pretty much guarantees you a friend on the street. Just look at the number of tweets of fan gatherings they often retweet.
Certainly leading the charge of this new, albeit dwindling wave, Creeper are by no means the only ones. The likes of PVRIS, with their dark, and smart, clothing keep to a moody aesthetic that is both incredibly accessible and stylish. Brit-indie icons the 1975, on a similar wave to PVRIS, incorporate color to juxtapose their style, yet perfectly match up with their sound. Twenty One Pilots are even getting in on the action with their punked-up take on the White Stripes famed black, red and white scheme.
It's obvious to see why costumes/complete immersion has severely fallen in number. With such mammoth acts having spearheaded the extreme, it's all but guaranteed that you'll be drawn up in comparison.
Currently reigniting our love for the outrageous and fueling our lust for the over-the-top displays of non-conformity, there's Black Veil Brides who fully commit to their influences. Somewhat looser are BABYMETAL who have a fully formed backstory to their pop-metal fantasy world.
When once being able to really spot a band from a mile away was an easy feat, the stylistic immersion is something that's seemingly missing. There's probably a good reason that we want bands to be themselves (which generally means jeans and a T-shirt), but there's that yearning for future escapism.
Who doesn't love being a part of something? Shorts and a band shirt are cool, but nothing hits home like being able to self-identify specifically with a subgenre.
Bands, give us your culture. You're the future.

However, once the initial concept of malicious propagating code became established, the actors creating viruses became more sophisticated in their approach. Ultimately, the results of a successful infection were more significant and the impact on an enterprise more severe.

Integration solution links shop floor with business users
By System Administrator	 13th November 2000 12:00 am 15th December 2015 3:36 pm
Mi Services Group, the IT services and solutions organisation, has developed an application integration solution for linking shop floor systems with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.
Currently designed to link Factory Suite Scada from Wonderware with ERP systems from SAP and Oracle, the new MI Services solution facilitates accurate two-way passage of real time data between the shop floor and other key business systems.
Once deployed, users can gain a real time view of shop floor productivity, inventory status and energy usage to maximise profits and output. By tracking inventory accurately and in real time, companies can lower operating costs and act to reduce stockholding.
The solution employs a high level of integration, managing the production cycle from point of order right through to product completion. The flow of raw materials is monitored by real time agents to ensure the inventory is constantly and immediately updated within the users reporting facilities. The planning process is configured to reorder materials based on analysis of current stock levels and a prediction of expected usage.
'The need to integrate disparate systems has been a hot topic in the IT industry for some time, but the link between shopfloor technologies and the business systems that receive orders, hold inventory and manage production has often been neglected,' said Phil Tompkinson, practice manager of Mi Services Group. 'Best-of-breed shop floor solutions typically do not lend themselves to integration with other vendors applications and our solution focuses specifically on delivering a better exchange of data across these systems.'

Socially and politically well connected, Lawrence Washington (1718-1752) was destined for greatness, but a lingering illness contracted while serving with the British in the Caribbean cut short his promising life.

Enjoying the skirmishes quite a lot tonight! This one has some potential I think.
Very poignant song John. Sang and played beautifully, passionately and sincerely.
A perfect reminder! It ends perfectly!
As an old soldier, still holding the bloody knife, awakens with the sudden new realization "that long line of dead bodies behind him," just bought the King a shiny new Chalice for his Palace. Cheep price for the king. A long list of bad karma for the old soldier.
"Realign" I love that. The ending I great.
I really like the image of the dark silhouette. The ending was super appropriate and clever. I agree with @joxerjen . I hear the civil war vibe too.
That way you bend the notes on "realign" is really great, and the ending was a fun twist!
Oh I needed to hear this tonight lol. Really effective song both musically and lyrically. I wouldn't have guessed this was a skirmish - awesome job!
So much yes. Love the ending.
I need to listen to this song on repeat. Great advice. (And beautiful song).
This has such a Civil War-era feel! Love it!
Great job. Powerful and meditative.
That was spooky. You sang the last disconnect, and the power went off on our street. About 3p min so far. Guess I'll write a song with pencil and paper.
Nice! Beautiful introspective lyrics. Great way to end the song.
Meditative and introvert lyrics that ring so true and are a good reminder for us who live in the hectic competitive western culture. Peculiar ending. It's like you disconnected yourself from the song. Made me think.
The end is so good!
Great skirmish. Love the ending. It's ringing in my head even though it was a sudden disconnection.
Well, I'm late to the party, especially on the commenting side, John, but I'm glad this is the first one of your songs I came across. I totally enjoy the music and vocals, but those are some damn fine lyrics, especially when being squeezed for time.
A great 1st day for you my friend!
Really enjoyed your song! A good reminder for us all.
I nearly fell asleep listening to this song, and then I immediately played it again.
Actually, more than anything this reminds me of the RPG Bard songs I was trying to write a year or two ago, where the song is meant to directly cause the thing you're singing about to happen. You've definitely got more than a little of that magic here.
Oh yes this has so much potential! I really love the message. It is such a powerful lyric. The chorus is fantastic! Love your vocals on this and the wonderful changeup between the melody on the verses and chorus. LOVE THIS!!!!!
yep. Like this a lot. Perfect length for a song - 2 to 2.5 minutes in my humble opinion. We usually get the point by then I reckon. I've liked all your stuff!
I applaud the theme of this song! You say a lot in very few words which is hard to do.
Wow! great lyrics and the music works. Big happy hug!

Agreed on Charter being the only choice for Woostuh, where I lived and worked through the glorious 1980s and again briefly 2006-06 and 2010. That wottuh problem under Southbridge Street is due primarily to runoff from the hills above it PLUS the Blackstone River tributary which they built the street and 290 over back when.

Announce: May meeting? Yes! See the Technocopia hackerspace.
Kevin Harrington has volunteered to give WLUG a tour of Technocopia, a new maker/hacker space just a few blocks from campus. He's also volunteered to talk about a programming language I forget the name of. I figure we could meet in the Campus Center, and then walk down to Technocopia. So here's the plan: WLUG Meeting Thursday, May 8 2014. 7:00 PM meet at WPI Campus Center, Chairman's Room. 7:15 PM or so, head down to Technocopia, 95 Prescott Street, Worcester, MA 01605 More information about the hackerspace is available here: http://technocopia.org/ We'll go out for pizza afterwards.

So is the may meeting going to be on the 8th? If so.. does anybody have a burning desire to talk about something? Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

When a church has experience in handling a complicated issue like domestic abuse, other ministries can learn from the pioneering church's experiences. Joan Stratton McConnell hopes church leaders will be encouraged and challenged when she shares from her experience at the 2018 General Assembly.
McConnell will lead a seminar called "Domestic Abuse: (Re-) Defining our Response," in which she will discuss what she has learned as the director of women's ministry at Westminster Presbyterian church in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and help attendees put policies in place to respond with compassion and clarity when domestic abuse situations arise.
A trained counselor, McConnell knows abuse lurks in the church. She has worked with Westminster's pastoral and ministry staff in abuse situations and helped the session understand and embrace a recognize-respond-rescue approach to abuse.
The word "abuse" makes no appearances in the Bible, but the themes of abuse and caring for the vulnerable are everywhere. Scripture makes it clear that God hates injustice and expects his people to care for the oppressed. Christ himself is the believer's model, and believers should long to see redemption in the lives of the oppressed and the oppressor.
McConnell will help attendees consider the who, why, how, and what-ifs of ministry in abuse situations and offer practical tips for how to get started. She will also highlight additional resources for leaders that want to learn more.
She also hopes that the lessons of her seminar will inspire others to develop personal knowledge of and compassion for the issue of domestic abuse.
"I hope that our church's experience and example will encourage other churches to initiate biblical responses, to do what it takes to grow into churches that have the reputation for being honest about the problems, and to become churches that offer effective (though perhaps imperfect) answers to hard questions and situations," she said.
Churches have so much to lose by failing to take seriously the trauma of domestic abuse. But this avenue of ministry is hard and messy, and the stakes can feel incredibly high. After all, physical safety, wellbeing and reputations are on the line. Still, if ministry leaders are willing to enter the fray, they can have a powerful impact before a watching world.
The seminar will take place on Wednesday, June 13, at 10:30 a.m.

PARTICIPATION OF HOME STUDY STUDENTS
It is the policy of Essex Westford Educational Community Unified Union School District (EWECUUSD) to comply with the requirements of Act 119 of 1998 by allowing home study students to participate in courses, programs, activities, and services and use school educational materials and equipment under the requirements set forth in the law for home school programs that are officially approved by the Vermont Agency of Education.
Desired access by State approved home school students to district programs, materials, or resources shall be made in writing to the appropriate principal, who shall have the authority to determine the school's capacity to provide such access. The principal's determination of sufficient resource capacity shall include consideration of the existing school programs' requirements. Instructional time, space, and class size shall be among the considerations made in determining capacity. An appeal of the principal's determination may be made to the Superintendent whose decision shall be final.
Home school students and parents who participate in school programs or access resources are subject to the same eligibility rules, attendance requirements, EWECUUSD policies, EWECUUSD codes of conduct and responsibility as are other students. Limitations to materials and services available to home schools will be consistent with those same limitations incurred by district students.
The Superintendent will develop administrative procedures that comply with rules promulgated by the Vermont State Board of Education as is necessary to implement this policy.

FFA Lifestyle News
California FFA Chapter President awaits Friday's DACA deal
By Ann Hess, Former Staff Writer Published: January 18, 2018

Tomorrow marks the deadline for a new government spending plan. Tomorrow also could be a day of reckoning for DACA (aka Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program), as Democrats have threatened not to support the spending bill unless lawmakers can also pass legislation shielding young immigrants. Tomorrow is a scary day for Kelseyville FFA Chapter President and Dreamer, Ariana Montero Pille.
It's a day Pille knew was coming since the Trump Administration announced their decision on Sept. 5 to overturn the program that protects immigrant youth who came to the U.S. as children from deportation. If Congress doesn't pass a solution before the March deadline, an average of nearly 30,000 people a month for the next two years would lose their protection from deportation, according to a CNN analysis of Department of Homeland Security data.
For Pille, who's had her sights on studying either agriculture education or agriculture business at CSU Chico next year, the DACA decision-making has left her future uncertain.
"I can graduate high school and apply to colleges. What I don't know is what will happen if Congress doesn't come up with a way of making DACA constitutional," Pille said. "That's when I see much trouble."
Currently a senior at Kelseyville High School, Pille moved to California from Michoacan, Mexico with her mom around the age of 6 to live with her dad and to also see if the change would help a very sick Pille.

"I was constantly sick and my mom had to take me to the doctors a lot," Pille said. "It was becoming expensive in a way for my dad to support us in Mexico and himself in California. The best solution was to have my mom and I move to California."
Now Pille, who went through a lengthy and costly application process to renew her DACA status in August, is waiting to see what will happen.
"When I'm called a dreamer, I think of two things – that I'm not legally in this country and that I'm segregated in a way from all the other Chicano students," Pille said. "I also think that nothing is granted for me here. Maybe one day I'll be taken away from my home and the country that's my home. It may never happen, but I'll always just have that fear."
It's something Pille has discussed in length with her parents, who both work as farm workers in the vineyard and pear industries.
"We've talked about it but it's just so hard to face the truth, that I could lose everything I know and have," Pille said. "I don't want problems with the law so if I was to be deported then that would be a disgrace and I would have to go to Mexico. I haven't been there in years, so I would struggle there. As for my education I want to say yes, I would try and work in the ag industry, but things there are so much different. Only time will tell what I would do if it happens."
In the meantime, the Dreamer says her time in FFA has been nothing, but a blessing.
"It's like a safe haven for me because no one is looking at how much money one has or what your immigration status is," Pille said. "They look to see what your experience has been and the similarities there are – what your projects have been and who you are as a member and a leader."
For those in the ag industry supporting the withdrawl from DACA, Pille invites them to talk to a Dreamer, to learn about their story, share a word, and get to know them before pointing fingers.
"Many of us don't recall living in Mexico or like myself, where I was brought so young, it's a very distant memory. Some didn't even know until they tried getting their permit, or were asked for their social security number," Pille said. "I myself and many that I know of, who are in the same situation, strive for the best, want an education, and want to make a positive change to the society that we've grown up in and know as our own."


If players shall hit golf ball into holes on golf-course, they shall upset the maximum number of skittles using the bowling ball. It seems to be easy but to pull it off you need an experienced player.
Anyone can play bowling for 5 dollars/round of 20 stokes and 4 dollars the following round.
Yet no one play bowling without a drink. The ring is often surrounded by bars and the majority does not like bowling in itself but for the atmosphere it creates between friends.


From March 21 to April 1, 2011, Evangelism and Discipleship session took place in Chisinau within the Inductive Bible Study Institute of Moldova. Studying this topic, to help students to effectively evangelize and make disciples, we decided to make a poll to identify the current situation. Because most of the students participating at this session were members of Baptist churches, we decided to interview the Christians of this denomination. The 30 students participating at the session were able to interview 242 people from 30 localities of the country. Christians who were interviewed in Chisinau are members of 13 churches from the city.
40% of the Baptist Christian respondents were between 18-25 years old, being followed by 32% of people who were between 26-40 years old. Those who are over 40 years made up 20% and below 18 years – 8%.
Most of those interviewed – 43% have made a covenant with the Lord Jesus Christ when they were 14-18 years, 23% were aged 18-25 when they repented. Those who were under 13 when they experienced the new birth make up 16%. Worldwide statistics show that 80% of Christians have decided to follow Christ in this age. The fact that this percentage is small highlights a need to share the Gospel with as many children under the age of 14 years as possible. 11% of respondents have become Christians when they were 25-40 years and only 7% after 40 years.
Whom they have heard the Gospel from?
Most of the Christians who were interviewed had heard the Gospel from their parents. Their number is 75 people. 44 have heard from friends, 43 when they visited church services, and 40 – from relatives. The next group consists of those who have repented by hearing the gospel through personal evangelism, 14 – at camps and 12 – at mass evangelism, such as the one where Franklin Graham preached. By various Christian sports ministry 3 people have come to Christ and a person through TV and Radio. One person did not specify the way he returned to God.
How many people have they led to Christ since they entered the New Covenant?
Every second interviewed person (50%) led to Christ from 1 to 5 people and it is an encouraging figure. It is sad, however, that every third person (32%) did not lead anyone to Christ. 25 of the interviewed Baptists led to Christ from 6 to 10 people, and those who led to salvation from 11 to 20 persons make up 4%. 14 Christians (5%) led to Christ more than 20 people. How we can help each of the third Christian in the church that has not led anyone to Christ to be a living witness?
How many people have they shared the Gospel with last week?
When asked how many people they shared the Gospel with last week, the interviewed Christians gave answers, that are very similar to those showing the number of the people turned to Christ through their testimony. Thus, 52% have proclaimed the Gospel to 1-5 people in the last 7 days. 8% shared the Word with 6 to 10 people, 4% evangelized from 11 to 20 people and 3% said the Good News to over 20 people. It is sad that every third Christian did not tell anyone about the Savior the last week.
Because many people received the Gospel when they were invited to worship services of the church, we wanted to hear from those interviewed how many people invited to the church last year and they came. 54% of Christians invited from 1 to 5 persons, 12% invited from 6 to 10, 5% invited 11 to 20 and 2% invited over 20 people. 27%, which is more than one out of every fourth Christian did not invite anyone to their church last year.
When asked what prevents them to preach the Gospel to more people, 35% of respondents mentioned embarrassment, while 28% said they did not have time … But, what's then the point of all their time if they do not use it according to the call they have received from the Savior to proclaim the awesome power of Him who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light? 16% said they did not know how and this shows the need for discipleship in churches. 14% were discouraged by previous failures. 4% of respondents did not want specific things that prevent them from being active witnesses of Jesus Christ, and 3% said they have no barrier and we want to believe that they preach the gospel to everyone.
Studying Scripture is a necessary and very important part of a healthy Christian life. When asked, each two out of three Baptists (66% of respondents) said they read the Bible daily, 23% read it weekly, 11% – occasionally and only one person said he never reads it.
Bible study requires knowledge of certain skills. The survey showed that 70% of Christians limit themselves to reading, 22%, which means more than one out of five Christians study it using the inductive method, 6% study the Bible reading according to the calendar of the Bible and 2% have undersigned the "other courses" without specifying the method. One person said that she studies the "Emmaus" course.
The fact that only 30% of respondents study the Bible in the family indicates an urgent need to focus emphasis on this thing in the Church. It is still a need to involve Christians in Bible study groups, because 45% of respondents do not go to any small group.
I thank all students who have made the effort to collect the data for this survey and I also thank Nicolae Toncu for structuring and presenting the results graphically.

Kale is a super food! Did you know one serving of kale has more calcium than a small carton of milk! Not only is it good for your bones, it also has tons of vitamins and minerals that are good for your eyes, your muscles, and fight off harmful bacteria. It even has more vitamin C than an orange!
Try this yummy Creamy Kale Dip. It is great with veggie sticks and crackers. This recipe was developed by Mrs. Rogers FACS class at Ramay Junior High!


As a small business, your marketing and advertising budget is usually pretty tight. It may be hard to justify spending thousands of dollars or more on a video marketing campaign.
But video advertising doesn't cost nearly as much as it used to, and you don't have to shell out major league cash for a national TV spot when you're just trying to get some foot traffic to your brick-and-mortar business.
In actuality, if you're looking to launch a local marketing campaign, video is one of the most powerful (and affordable) tools you can use because of its potential for repurposing, for optimization, and for showing off your location and atmosphere – two must-dos when it comes to local marketing.
But before we get into all that, let's review how local marketing works.
Local marketing targets the community around your business, with messaging targeting the demographics of that community. While bigger companies with larger ad budgets can spend hundreds of thousands to showcase their ads on network TV and across the internet to demographics from countries all over the world, local business owners can't – and actually shouldn't. Unless you're an ecommerce company, you should be hyper-focusing your small business marketing to customers geographically near you.
If you're a store that requires customers to actually walk on-site to do business, this is doubly true. You need to plan your marketing strategy around hyper-targeting areas within a certain mile radius from you and incentivize locals to spread the word. You typically want to focus your target demographic to a radius of those customers who live within 10 miles or less.
In the same way your marketing covers a physical map, you need your business to cover a mental and emotional map inside the minds of those within your community if you want to turn them into repeat customers. This can look quite different from just programmatic ad-buys on social media. You might be sending mailers offering coupons for first-time purchases, sponsoring local neighborhood events, or even buying ads in… a newspaper?!
There's a digital side to local marketing as well. You'll want to optimize your Google SEO ads with your businesses' information, including your business address, company contact information, and photos of your location online. This is where video can help.
How does video play into local marketing?
Video is especially helpful for local marketing efforts because of its visual nature. In order for any customer to branch out and try your small business for the first time, they have certain psychological biases that need to be overcome. Visualizing a place can help anyone feel more comfortable getting in a car and going there, because they can imagine what the experience is like.
In a local marketing video, you can highlight the specifics that matter to locals, like the location, the size of your building, the opinions of neighbors in the community, the ease of getting there, and the overall atmosphere of your establishment.
Video is especially useful for franchise owners looking to advertise their specific location. Where the larger Burger King ad campaigns are targeting every Burger King customer, your local video will target those in your area to get them to come to your location. Show them why your Burger King is the best.
How can I start using video in my local campaigns?
Using video in any marketing campaign is all about what your goal is and where you post it. For example, if you have an amazing new product video, but it's sitting on your editor's desktop, it doesn't help you get new business.
If you're trying to attract new customers to your business and your video is sitting pretty on your website homepage, it still isn't going to help you. How is anyone who doesn't already know you able to see it? Sure, visitors who find you will engage with the video once they're on your page, but you skipped a vital first step entirely.
So let's break down how local video marketing can help you depending on your goal.
If you're new to the area, you're going to want to establish yourself, and video is a great way to do just that. Start by taking a video of your new store, highlighting the renovated interior and familiar exteriors for the locals, as well as what your new business will bring to the community.
You could shoot a day in the life video showing off the process of running the store from open to close or featuring behind the scenes footage leading up to your grand opening.
You can create a lifestyle video to show off the specific vibe your small business is going for.
You can even create a FAQ or product video to answer questions about your new store and what your selling.
Have a camera crew at the ready for any grand opening event so you can turn it into an event video to get the rest of the neighborhood excited about this new, cool spot in town.
Now, upload that video to YouTube, as well as to your personal website, and link it to your Google business profile. Make sure you include important local keywords and contact information so the video can be found by people in your area. This includes your zip code, specific neighborhood names, and other nearby locations. Optimize your organic search results by using video transcriptions and local info.
Next, try targeting your video with paid search ads specific to those zip codes and nearby locations on Google, so anyone searching for "new restaurants in [area]" will find you. If your ad budget allows it, expand this to social media as well, but keep the search radius super local. This may not be the most cost-efficient, as you'll be getting fewer clicks per view, but you'll know the clicks you are getting are actual potential customers.
Attracting new customers is only the first step. In order for local video marketing to be a success, you need to create repeat business. You're probably already in a position where you're looking to expand your number of regulars and grow your company's revenue.
In this instance, you're going to want to get creative with your video marketing. First step is creating multiple videos. Try to find a service or video partner that can create a series of high-quality videos for you at an affordable rate. This will usually involve a video team coming out and creating a lot of content in just a few short, efficient shoot days.
In order to engage with visitors and nurture locals into repeat business, you need to provide value to them with your video content.
Try creating social content videos for the locals who follow your business on social media. They could be about new dishes or drinks if you're a bar or restaurant, coupon codes or time-sensitive offerings on select products, holiday-specific sales for fashion retailers, or other assorted perks for locals.
Make a customer spotlight video to show off positive results for a personal training or salon business, or highlight the camaraderie and good times between your patrons if you own a bar or restaurant.
Partner with friendly customers to create product review videos, where you poll first-timers or loyal patrons about your various products or services. You can even offer a contest for your followers to create their own product review videos and submit them for a prize, like a free meal or discounted product.
Try creating a tips and tricks or tutorial video if your business or service is new to the area. For example, if your small business is a new VR arcade, use these types of videos to teach newcomers how the games work, while showing off your gear.
Create welcome and thank you videos for the customers who do support you to show you care. By being an active and grateful member of the community, you're more likely to earn their support.
Create local guide content for newcomers or tourists looking to learn about your area. By helping to create videos about your neighborhood, you include yourself in the dialogue, and can be featured (or feature yourself) as part of any must-sees or must-dos!
If you create any of these videos, you'll want to share them on your socials, on your homepage, on YouTube, in search and re-targeting ads, and in any email marketing you might already be doing.
Additionally, you can even try for the coveted local TV spot, or find partners like a local movie theater where you can run your video ads before the movie trailers (as most small theaters do these days).
Most importantly, find where people in your community go on the regular. Are there any local blogs or online newspapers you can pitch your videos to? What about local influencers – can you get them to share or star in a video featuring your business? Can you host an event that will bring a local TV station to you?
Once the locals come to you and sign up for your email lists and follow you on social media, you become their go-to source. But until then, you need to get the word out. Video is the best way to do that.
How can I create videos for local marketing on a budget?
Work with us! We love creating videos for businesses of all sizes, and have done so ever since we began as a small business ourselves. There's no reason why your business can't create a series of high-quality, affordable video content, and our goal is to give you just that. We recommend creating multiple videos, and we deliver.
Schedule a call today to hop on the phone with one of our creative producers to learn how we can transform your local video marketing goals into results.

I had an amazing time photographing Ashely & Gabby's wedding in Red Bank, NJ this past June. Ashley & Gabby both looked absolutely stunning in their complementary black & white dresses. They are so tuned into one another that they matched perfectly even though they picked out their dresses separately and kept them a secret till the big day! Here is a little sneak peak, but stay tuned for more from their fabulous day!
I have know Rachael & Neal since high school so it was extra special for me to get to take some photos on their wedding day. They were married at the foot of the Catskill Mountains in Upstate NY on a little farm called The Caterskill. It was a perfect day and a beautiful setting for their lovely outdoor wedding.
I loved everything about Erin & Stephen's Philadelphia wedding! I knew from the first time we met that we clicked and that photographing their wedding would be a blast! It was a joy to work alongside our talented friends Tom + Jennifer from Tree of Life Films and a team of incredible wedding vendors including: Location // Front & Palmer, Caterer // Feast Your Eyes Catering, Florist // Falls Flowers, DJ // Sugartown Industries.
