Less than 2 weeks until Christmas! I have been busy ordering last minute gifts and planning Christmas meals. It always goes way too fast.
Ever have one of those "where in the world did the day go" days ? Yesterday was one of those and I'm completely to blame. I tend to go a 100mph. My husband would call it being "A Hubner" – which he has adopted (and loves BTW) since marrying me. Need/want something done? Do it now. Don't wait – not even for a second because you may or may not waste time. We can't take the chance. Don't think too long – just do it. It's a little ridiculous sometimes. For instance: My mom went to a concert a few nights ago where someone was playing the tin whistle. She came home and said, "it was just beautiful…you should try and play it". 5 minutes later a tin whistle was ordered and 2 days after that I'm a proud owner of a Celtic flute. I currently can play "Muffin Man" , "Danny Boy" and Gus Pike's theme song from Avonlea.
So yesterday I had work out of town which is always a family occasion. We tried to enjoy the 55 degree weather while driving in the car but it was a little hard. Somewhere in our 90 mile trip I came up with the brilliant idea that the kids would like a tent for Christmas. I remember seeing them on Land of Nod years ago. I started thinking… "I took sewing in 4-H. If I can sew a complete business suit I can certainly sew a tent". And so it begins… "Let's stop at the lumber yard and get some wood for the tent." "Might as well stop and buy some curtains – I think they would be cheaper than material and they'd already be hemmed…" Go in and buy them, get in the car and decide I hate the color of the curtains. Decide to keep them for now – thinking I could return them tomorrow…Looking at the plan again and realizing I need curtains with the tab at the top. Shoot – why didn't I look at it better? I could have just returned them right away and saved myself a trip… Get home and work a little bit before laying Little Miss down for a much needed nap. Decide to go and see what the material store has less than 2 weeks before Christmas on a Saturday at 4pm. Not even a parking spot. Try a different store. Just as bad. Ollie and I decide to try it anyway. Find the perfect material – an entire bolt – for cheap! I gather up all of my thread that I need and the bolt of tent material. Stand in line forever while a lady coughs up a lung literally 4 inches from my neck. I'm about ready to have a panic attack – but we make it through. Barely. I get up to the cash register and the nice lady says, "I'm sorry miss, but even though this is for the whole bolt, you still have to have it measured out in the back…" Whaaaat? To the back of the store we go…to get a ticket. Number 115. They just called out 99. Nope. I guess we'll skip the material. I'll just get the thread for now. Back in line which now curved further through the store. Nope. I'll come back tomorrow. Finally make it back home in time to throw a frozen pizza in the oven and make a salad. The kale salad makes up for the frozen pizza – doesn't it? While the pizza is in the oven I sit down to look at different material online as well different patterns for the tent. I actually look up Land of Nod and find exactly what I want for $80. Thinking back to the day I had and the money already spent – I order the stinking tent. I'll return the supplies tomorrow. On a Sunday before Christmas.
I used half of a can of pumpkin which is about 1 cup.
This pumpkin bread didn't start out by being "brown butter" pumpkin bread. I left the butter on the stove for too long and it browned – and smelled so good!! I forget why I don't use browned butter for more things!
Make sure your coconut flour is sifted.
I sprinkled a little bit of raw sugar on the bread about 15 minutes in. I have found that if I sprinkle it on before it goes into the oven it just soaks in and then I don't get the crunch.
Brown butter in a saucepan.
Mix eggs, maple syrup, eggs and butter together.
Add in almond flour, sifted coconut flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Pour into butter greased bread pans.
Bake for approximately 30 minutes or knife comes out clean.
Oh Jodi, I loved your story, seems many of my days go the same way! Anxious to try the pumpkin bread!
Thank you Darla! I'll have another pumpkin one for you in a couple of days!
Oh, honey. I was literally laughing out loud at this because I could picture all of it perfectly in my head. Miss you, friend. Merry Christmas!
Jodi, Your photographs are beautiful.
I love the way you write Jodi! This story still has me chuckling. 🙂 Merry Christmas and God Bless!
Thank you Mary Lu! Same to you!

Wei Chao, MD, PhD, FAHA was recently awarded The Anesthesiology Endowed Professorship In Translational Research. Dr. Chao's laboratory, a part of the Anesthesiology Translational Research Program, studies the innate immune signaling system and its role in sepsis, trauma, and myocardial ischemic injury. The laboratory has established state-of-the-art experimental systems that are essential for investigators to delineate the molecular, cellular, and organ physiological changes during sepsis, traumatic injuries, and tissue ischemia. In receiving this honor, Dr. Chao joins five other endowed professors in the department (Drs. Birukov, Faden, Fiskum, Njoku, and Rock).
Brianna Holmes and Himsheela Karki, students from Baltimore City Community College (BCCC) and research interns in the lab of Dr. Gary Fiskum, the M. Jane Matjasko Professor for Research in the Department of Anesthesiology, earned the top awards at a competitive poster presentation at the 7th Annual BCCC STEM Symposium on November 8th, 2018. This symposium was a part of the Maryland STEM Festival and included an audience of over 500 students from BCCC and several Baltimore city schools. External judges chose the best posters from among 50+ entries. Karki, a native of Kathmandu, Nepal, was awarded the President's Award for the Best Overall Science Project, which focused on strategic use of oxygen following resuscitation from cardiac arrest. Holmes, a life-long Baltimorean, won the Vice-President's Award for Best External Research Project, which concentrated on effects of hypobaria on traumatic brain injury. Karki graduated with her AAS in December 2018 and is currently completing pre-requisite coursework for pharmacy school. Holmes continues working in the Fiskum lab and plans to pursue a BS degree on a pre-medicine track.

Roger Bowen's Nov. 18 Maine Voices column provides us with a readable account of how Republicans would like to increase the amount not taxed by the estate tax. Raising that amount, he argues, will increase the disparity in wealth in this country.
Being born into a poor family, he says, is a curse, while being born into a rich one is a blessing. And both are based on luck. However, redistribution makes birth count for less and opportunity count for more. For example, progressive income requires that higher earners pay more, because they have benefited more from the nation's bounty.
• First, the estate tax provides for less than 1 percent of tax revenue to this country, according to the Office of Management and Budget. So, apparently, its function is not to provide others with what they miss, but simply to take away from those who have acquired wealth. So one might say that the function of that tax is to satisfy envy, one of the seven deadly sins.
• Second, although whether one is born into a poor or rich family may depend entirely on luck, one can ask whether the tax code should be there to even out luck. Should those who are attractive pay more? Those who escaped inheriting a gene for Alzheimer's disease? How about those who learned valuable lessons from thoughtful parents? For example, there's a phrase that many Chinese children hear, a New York Times Magazine intern reports: " 'Xin k hòu tián.' First bitter, then sweet." Should those who learn that lesson be taxed more?
• Third, Bowen says the tax code is about values. But this means that the values of those in power determine what is taxed, and how much. If a more objective basis of taxation were possible, we might all be better off.


We have three daughters 17, 13, and 6 so juggling many kids at very different stages in their development. I work with my husband, who is an artist. We own a gallery/portraiture studio in tribeca. We are commissioned to create large scale pieces of art where our clients and their loved ones are integrated in to the final piece of art. These large scale prints are magical and dreamy and printed in house in our studio.
Plow Ahead and Be Patient as things take time.
I have been a working mom for almost 18 years. I have always wanted to own my own business and I took an idea and grew it into a super fun place to work that creates tangible beautiful images that are passed on for generations. I am more than happy to share our successes and failures as I believe there is no reason for us to recreate the wheel. I think we can all build each other up as there is room for all of our businesses. The world is big. Because we are also in the photography business I believe I have a unique perspective on what is beautiful. Almost every image is manipulated and believing everything you see can be harmful. I am very passionate about sharing this especially with younger women.
Shooting in more locations around the world. One of the best parts of our business is meeting new people in new places and weaving our clients passions into their art pieces.
Looking to network and to have fun and to share the ups and downs of being a working mom.


Client-centered - Services are planned to meet the individual needs of the persons served as opposed to fitting them into an existing service. Services will be developmentally appropriate and specific, and build on the strengths of the client to meet his/her treatment, social, and physical needs.
Multi-system – When possible, services are planned in collaboration with all the other providers in the client's life. Representatives from each of these systems, as well as the family (when possible), should assist in developing the necessary resources to implement the treatment plan, thus providing appropriate support to the client.
Culturally competent - Culture determines our worldview and provides a general design for living and patterns for interpreting reality that is reflected in our behavior. Therefore, services that are culturally competent are provided by individuals who have the skills to recognize and respect the behavior, ideas, attitudes, values, beliefs, customs, language, rituals, ceremonies, and characteristics of a particular group of people.
Least restrictive/least intrusive - Services will be provided in the least restrictive settings that are the most appropriate for the client, yet best able to meet the client's needs.
Built on Evidenced Based Practices - Services are prescribed and delivered based on current Evidenced Based Practices/Curricula. Clinicians receive ongoing competency based training in these practices.

The SEP Couch with Tim Pohlmann
#17 Morgan Reed | How FRAND will work in the IoT
Morgan Reed is the president of ACT | The App Association and one of the board members of the LESI SDOs. He specializes in issues involving application development relating to privacy, intellectual property, competition, and small business innovation. His expertise and knowledge have been sought by the House and Senate in multiple hearings while his commentary and insight are a major draw for news networks including Fox Business News, MSNBC, CNBC, CNN, and ABC, the Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post to Ars Technica and Slashdot. Morgan has authored and contributed to several white papers and is a part of the developer team for the Linux Router Project (LEAF), and remains an active Apple and iOS licensed developer. Leading the App Association, Morgan has leveraged ACT's resources to host innovation workshops across the country. Organizing events with venture capitalists, business leaders, and attorneys, he helps to foster innovative new technologies by helping emerging businesses manage their intellectual property.
Morgen learned how to program at a very young age and first got in touch with standards development as he was involved with the implementation of the 802.11b analytics kernel. And right from the beginning also back then the question of how Intellectual Property is handled by standards was one of the major discussions.
In the podcast interview, Morgan elaborates on topics that concern SEPs and FRAND for his member companies, which are mostly innovative small medium-sized companies. Morgen stresses that the ACT members find IoT use cases increasingly important in developing software and products e.g. for agriculture, healthcare, or even firefighting. When looking at IoT and connectivity his members are concerned about SEP licensing practices and in particular that the SEP holders can choose where to license SEPs in the value chain no matter who actually implements a standard such as 5G. The ACT members are often small or medium-sized companies that source hardware and software from other companies to build a new product. But with a SEP license, they will always be in a position of legal uncertainty and will not know the price they may eventually have to pay at some point. Morgan explains that typically small players are not approached in the beginning but once you get bigger you get a call, which in his opinion, makes it worse.
In another discussion, Morgen discussed injunctions in the context of SEPs. Here he stresses that injunctions are of course important to enforce IP rights, but injunctions should be very rare given the potential to put a level of pressure on companies to enforce prices for SEPs that are not FRAND anymore.
ACT members need a balanced IP system and an ecosystem where standards work. ACT members will be the ones who will build and create the next new inventions the whole world will depend on and SEP holders should have the interest to let that happen.

#20 Taraneh Maghame – SEP Licensing Realities
Ms. Maghame has served as senior IP counsel at Hewlett-Packard and Compaq Computer Corporation and has been a member of distinguished IP law firms Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison, and Perkins Coie, specializing in IP litigation, licensing, and counseling. She is a graduate of Georgetown University Law Centre and is admitted to practice in California and Washington State, as well as before the USPTO. In 2018, Ms. Maghame was appointed to the European Commission's Expert Group on Licensing and Valuation of Standard Essential Patents. She has been included in the 1AM 300 World's Leading IP Strategists for multiple years and is a frequent speaker on patent licensing and policy matters. Ms. Maghame was vice president of wireless programs and corporate development at Via Licensing Corporation, where she developed and managed strategic multi-party licensing programs in wireless and cellular technologies. Before joining Via in 2017, Ms. Maghame served as senior counsel in Apple's IP and licensing group, focusing on patent licensing strategy and standards, and represented Apple in global standards-related organizations. Before Apple, she was acting as general counsel and vice president for M&A, patent policy, and government relations at Tessera Technologies. In this high-profile policy role, she helped to found the Innovation Alliance, an organization representing patent holders' interests before Congress. She has testified before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary and the Federal Trade Commission regarding patent matters. Today Taraneh runs her own business: Maghame IP Consulting PLLC, a firm that provides strategic counseling and expert services focused on IP issues related to the development, use, and licensing of standards. In the podcast, Taraneh elaborates on her experience working with SEPs for over two decades. While 20 years ago a few big telecom players owned SEPs and cross-licensed these, today SEP licensing has dramatically changed. This is because of the wide use of standardized technologies such as LTE or 5G and that there is much more at stake now. While the past years show that many SEP licensing deals were successfully closed at the same time patent litigation was dominated by SEP/FRAND disputes. Worldwide disputes may work for large smartphone manufacturers and huge SEP owners, Taraneh believes however that when SEPs are licensed for IoT use cases licensing must be much more efficient. The royalty rates will likely be much lower. Long disputes are not worth the investment for both sides of the table. Even more, it maybe is worth overthinking not only the license on the OEM level because, in the end, it may create more revenue to license many components or modules for a lower rate than the other way around. Also, Taraneh believes that the formation of Licensing Negotiation Groups (LNGs) should at least be considered, given there are no anti-trust issues. Taraneh helps companies in new industry verticals that use connectivity standards or plan to use connectivity standards in their products. Taraneh believes that regulators should allow the markets to self-regulate but at the same time believes that policymakers should provide more guidance for solutions and especially increase transparency to decrease legal uncertainty in industries where SEP licensing is yet to be established. This is for the good of both the implementers and the SEP holders. During her days at Via Licensing, she experienced great collaborations and constructive solutions when patent holders and implementers are open and transparent in working together. This year the Department of Justice, USPTO, and NIST withdraw the 2019 SEP policy statement (June 2022). Taraneh is excited to see if we will see anything from the US regulators. While there are rumors for a draft bill that proposes a federal SEP royalty court with global impact, Taraneh believes that because this bill is currently unsponsored and was proposed by
#19 Carlos R. Olarte – SEP litigation in Colombia
Carlos is a Biomedical and Mechanical Engineer from Duke University (1990), and a J.D. from Chicago-Kent IIT (1993). He is a licensed lawyer in Illinois and Colombia. Founding partner of OlarteMoure, a 200+ person firm specializing in IP and competition law, with offices in Bogotá, Medellín, Barranquilla, Bucaramanga, Cali, and Tokyo. His professional practice focuses on patent law, including litigation and developing strategies for the monetization of deeptech projects. A good portion of his practice focuses on the pharmaceutical and life sciences industry, including participating in the development of start-up projects for new product launches. Another important client base includes local universities and research-intensive industries. Matters handled by Carlos have included seminal cases put before the Colombian high courts and the Andean Court of Justice, including compulsory licensing projects. He also has extensive experience on issues relating to data exclusivity for the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industry. The combination of his technical and legal expertise clearly distinguishes Carlos from most other patent practitioners in Colombia and Latin America. Carlos is the expert when it comes to SEPs and the law in Colombia. In the podcast episode, he elaborates on the SEP case currently litigated in Colombia - Ericsson vs. Apple - and what happened so far. He explained that Apple failed already twice to overturn a 5G iPhone and iPad sales ban in Colombia where Apple even invoked Art. 8 of the famous Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Latin American countries are not usually seen as a first-line option when building a strategy to deploy global litigation campaigns to enforce patent rights. But the case has shown the effectiveness of the courts in Colombia. Carlos explains that Colombia follows a bifurcated system like Germany and Brazil, where different courts handle infringement and invalidity. That speeds up the process once the infringement is determined a plaintiff must not wait for validity determination. In the current Ericsson vs. Apple disputes Colombia is the first country to issue a Preliminary Injunction preventing Apple from importing, selling, marketing, and advertising devices incorporating 5G technology (such as iPhones 12 and 13). The decision even included an order to Apple to restrain from seeking an "antisuit injunction" in a foreign country. Carlos does not believe that FRAND will be determined at the Colombian court, seeking damages is the current strategy. In Carlos' final summary he stresses that Colombia as a jurisdiction is increasingly attractive for SEPs.
#18 Claudia Tapia - How to set FRAND rates
"FRAND should be a framework that all stakeholders can innovate on together!" Dr. Claudia Tapia is Director IPR Policy at Ericsson, where she leads the IPR Policy's Research team and its activities worldwide. She is a speaker, writer, lecturer, and reviewer in IP and standardization-related topics. Prior to joining Ericsson, Claudia was Director IP Policy at BlackBerry. While at BlackBerry, she focused on various aspects of intellectual property, including intellectual property rights policies in standards, global patent policies, as well as licensing and litigation. Claudia holds a law degree from the University of Valencia, an LL.M degree specializing in International Patent Law from the Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich, and a Ph.D. degree on FRAND and Standardization in the telecoms sector from the Faculty of Law in Augsburg (summa cum laude). Claudia is also president of 4iP Council, a non-profit research council dedicated to developing high-quality academic insight and empirical evidence on topics related to IP and innovation, and a member of the Editorial Board of The Patent Law magazine and of the Intellectual Property Magazine and member of the Advisory Board of C-IP2. In the podcast, Claudia, speaking on her own behalf, elaborates on the lack of incentives for standard implementers to negotiate a FRAND license in good faith. Here she explains that companies typically implement the standards subject to SEPs first before anyone even approaches them for royalties. And then when the negotiation starts there is little incentive for implementers to find reach a FRAND agreement. That's why SEP holders must go to court in some cases. Also, she explains that she believes that past damages for the use of SEPs without a license will also not properly compensate SEP holders, because these damages typically only relate to the patent/s that is/are part of the litigation, which represents only a very small share of the whole portfolio subject to be licensed. Moreover, damages do not properly compensate for the additional costs that the enforcement of the patents has created and do not typically sanction bad behavior which in return creates too little incentives for implementers to license in good faith. Put differently, a willing licensee should not be treated the same as an unwilling licensee. Otherwise, willing licensees would be discriminated and there would be less opportunity for innovators to obtain reasonable royalties in a timely manner, which they generally reinvest in the next generation of the standard Claudia explains. Finally, Claudia refers to a legal maxim "Justice delayed is justice denied". In other words, if legal redress or equitable relief to an injured party is available, but is not forthcoming in a timely fashion, it is effectively the same as having no remedy at all. Purposely delaying of a FRAND negotiation to avoid paying FRAND or force the SEP holder to accept royalties below FRAND, i.e., hold out, could be improved if there was a time-limited to such negotiations. Here Claudia believes 12 months for courts to issue their decision regarding FRAND and 6 months for appeal's court (if appealed) would be more reasonable. When it comes to the value of 5G in IoT Claudia believes that we will have to wait and see what IoT will bring and how devices in different industries, in the end, will be connected. There may indeed be use cases where a fiber cable may be more efficient while there will also be many use cases that will need to rely on cellular connectivity. This is particularly the case for issues related to security, connected via wireless technologies. For Claudia, FRAND should be a framework that all stakeholders can innovate on together. Such a framework however also needs compensation on time. Claudia says that too often people do not see the big picture, i.e., they forget how important standards are for innovation today but even more for the future.<

I am happy to have an article featured in the new issue of Change Over Time: An International Journal of Conservation and the Built Environment. This is a thematic issue, concerned with Landscapes of Extraction.
My article, Contested Landscapes of Displacement: Oliver Iron and Minnesota's Hibbing District, explores the ways that communities, the iron industry, and the state responded to iron mining development in Minnesota's Mesabi Range. As open pit mines expanded during the 1910s, all but two communities were forced to relocate to make way for an expanding mine. Archival records reveal that communities contested mining displacements, yet this social negotiation over mining is relatively absent in current interpretative discourse. Instead, state agencies have reimagined the mining landscape, filling former mines with trout and removing much of the built environment in an effort to promote a recreational landscape atop a postindustrial one. These actions have fostered a distorted collective memory of the region's past and an industrial landscape where historical features are treated as recreational areas rather than cultural resources.
You can download the article, and peruse other interesting research from the special issue in the link above.
Growing up in the flatlands of Northeast Wisconsin, I have long been fascinated with big topography and consistently drawn to maps - particularly those that use raised relief to depict elevation changes.
Raised relief maps are models of reality that present landscape formations in 3-Dimensions - allowing the user to both see and feel the plains, valleys, and mountain ranges of the world. As a child, I remember being intrigued by the vast raised ridges that ran across the Americas - one flowing from Alaska to New Mexico, and another running through Ecuador, Peru and Chile - places in which I would later work, travel, and live. These raised relief maps brought the dramatic geologic formations that occupy much of the western extent of the Americas to the classrooms of the topographically challenged Midwest.
Post-mining landscapes often lie. What we see on the landscape today does not necessarily reflect the complex history in which that landscape was shaped. Instead, post-mining landscapes tell a story designed to convey a specific message to the public, often designed by either heritage organizations or reclamation agencies. In most post-mining landscapes, the story told by heritage organizations is often centered on either mining technology or architecture, seen in the focus on memorializing monuments representative of industrial capital. Consequently, the story that industrial heritage managers tell about post-mining landscapes often revolves around the interpretation of only a select few buildings and machines. However, these tangible manifestations make up only a small percentage of the post-mining landscape, while the overwhelming environmental impacts from mining are generally avoided.
"What is the coolest artifact you have ever found?" Countless archaeologists have been asked this question, and when directed at me it has always posed a challenge. Was it a green obsidian spear point found in Northern California? A stamp mill battery in Alaska? A chert awl in Arizona?
While I never have a quick answer to this question, what I do notice is that whatever my answer, the artifact is always something tangible, always something obviously human, and always rooted in technological materialism. I've been taught that an artifact is something mobile and something that was produced to serve some sort of purpose. Yet that is the orthodoxy of archaeology and heritage. What happens when we begin to challenge this convention?
I was recently fortunate enough to visit some tremendous industrial heritage sites in Germany, the Landschaftspark in Duisburg, and Zeche Zollverein in Essen. At both of these sites it is easy to become overwhelmed by their sheer grandeur, one centered around an enormous blast furnace works, the other centered around a towering coal mine shaft house. While I thoroughly enjoy these megaliths of industrial prosperity, what resonated with me most was a collection of artifacts housed in the Zeche Zollverein museum exhibit - appropriately called, "Environmental Destruction and Protection".
Abstract: "For decades, the Lake Superior Iron District produced a significant majority of the world's iron used in steel production. Chief among these was the Mesabi Range of northern Minnesota, a vast deposit of hematite and magnetic taconite ores stretching for over 100 miles in length. Iron ore mining in the Mesabi Range involved three major phases: direct shipping ores (1893–1970s), washable ores (1907–1980s), and taconite (1947–current). Each phase of iron mining used different technologies to extract and process ore. Producing all of this iron yielded a vast landscape of mine waste. This paper uses a historical GIS to illuminate the spatial extent of mining across the Lake Superior Iron District, to locate where low-grade ore processing took place, and to identify how and where waste was produced. Our analysis shows that the technological shift to low-grade ore mining placed new demands on the environment, primarily around processing plants. Direct shipping ore mines produced less mine waste than low-grade ore mines, and this waste was confined to the immediate vicinity of mines themselves. Low-grade ore processing, in contrast, created more dispersed waste landscapes as tailings mobilized from the mines themselves into waterbodies and human communities."
I recently had the opportunity to write a blog post for NiCHE, The Network in Canadian History and Environment, as part of their "Seeds: New Research in Environmental History" series. In this post I summarize the construction of an Historical Geographic Information System (HGIS) to help reveal the producers and content of historic mine waste, research described in fuller detail in a recent publication through The Extractive Industries and Society.
You can read my post here, and make sure to explore some of the other great stuff happening at NiCHE here.
Where in the World is the Wacootah Concentrator?
If you have been following this blog, you will know that part of my research has involved tracking the facilities that processed low-grade iron ores and produced tailings in the Mesabi Range. These facilities were called beneficiation plants (ben-eh-fiss-ee-ay-tion plants), iron ore concentrators, or ghost plants if you are referring to this blog. Historically, 88 beneficiation plants stretched across the Mesabi Range. Today 13 of these plants remain standing - but 2 weeks ago, I would have told you that there were 14. Time flies when you are having fun.
Coming up with these figures was a convoluted process. Since processing plants are not tracked by any government agency, and because most mining heritage sites tend to focus their attention more on the mines than the processing plants, pinpointing were these facilities once existed required quite a bit of archival legwork. Identifying the locations of these 88 beneficiation plants required examining historical maps, historical aerial imagery, paging through old trade journals, and using web-based services like MNTOPO to analyze the current landscape.

In my last two posts, I talked about the false security of relying on parental control as a way to keep our teenage kids safe and well behaved.
Today we're going to consider a far more important parental pursuit: becoming influential. First let's define it.
[in-floo-uh ns] verb (used with object), influenced, influencing.
2. to cause something to be changed.
While parental control needs to decrease during the teen years to prepare them for life out of the nest wise parents shift their focus toward increasing their influence during those same years. The graph might look like this.
Influence is a powerful force, for good or for bad.
Influence begins the day your child is born and can last a lifetime.
Studies prove that parents are the primary influencers of children — by a long shot!
Secondary influencers will be anyone or anything that captures your child's mind and heart.
So what can parents do to be positive influencers of their children?
I recently did some brainstorming with a group of grown children about positive ways their parents influenced them and here are Five Optimizers of Influence we came up with.
1. Model authenticity. Managing your own life and character well is of critical importance. Character and values are more caught than taught.
2. Avoid relational walls. Exasperating kids creates resentment instead of respect, forfeiting opportunities for positive influence.
3. Cultivate trust. Convincing them that they are important to you, that they safe around you, and that your goal is their well being is a solid foundation for influencing them.
4. Verbalize values. Kids can't process things we neglect to talk about. The world will inform them about everything we don't. We need to get in the "first word" to give them context and perspective on what matters to us.
5. Emancipate strategically. Typically, parents and teens battle over kids' emerging desires for independence. Instead, let's work with our kids to prepare them for living on their own. As I've blogged about before, our goal is to raise adults, not kids.
I'll flesh out these five optimizers of influence in future posts!
Maintaining Parental Control is not the answer.
In my last post about keeping kids safe I made reference to parental CONTROL.
Today I want to explore the topic of CONTROL more fully because the way you wield it will not only affect your lifelong relationship with your kids but also their long-term well-being.
Let's begin by defining the word.
[kuh n-trohl] verb (used with object), controlling.
As the authorities of the home, parents certainly have a God-given right and responsibility to exert control over their kids. Control is a critical component of nurturing, especially since kids are born weak, without the ability to take care of themselves or exercise sound judgement.
We've all seen kids who are "out of control" and wondered where their parents were!
But I want us to give some thought to the amount of control that parents should exert over their kids during the course of their kid's childhood. I've observed that many parents overextend their use of control or aren't willing to relinquish it.
Recently in my Bridgehaven parenting class we charted out what an ideal amount of parental control ought to be for developmentally normal kids over the course of 20 years.
You'll note that for the first year or so, it seems the parent has zero control — indeed the child controls the parents! The baby cries: the parent feeds him. The child poops: and the parent rushes to change the diaper! Like it or not, that's how it works!
But before long, the parent begins to exercise a high amount of control over the kids. In fact, the parent is now controlling almost every thing in the child's world: what he wears, where she goes, who and what he can play with, what she can touch, etc. This of course is necessary because the child has no filters to make such decisions.
Now let's fast forward–in our minds–to the day that child will leave for college. (Keep in mind that we're talking about developmentally normal kids.) How much control should the parent still be asserting? I say almost none!
Think about it –by this time in their journey our kids should be able to function almost completely apart from parental control. When they graduate from high school they ought to be well on their way to be managing their own lives: their health, their friends, their finances, their choices, their education, their hygiene, their sleep habits, their decision making, their church involvements, their workload, etc. with little –if any–parental controls in force.
But sadly, that's not how it works in many homes. Out of worry and fear some parents maintain a high level of control all throughout the teen years. Then they send their kids off to college where the kids suddenly find they are without any parental control at all. They love it — free at last! But those unfortunate kids are the ones who will naturally misuse their newfound freedom, running up credit card debt, partying their freshman year away, accumulating baggage, and discovering how ill-prepared they really were to manage their own lives.
They've had guardrails imposed on them their whole life and consequently they never learned to set their own.
Let's not do that! As the chart shows, our control over our kids should gradually diminish over time and they should be increasingly taking control of their own lives. No, it won't be as smooth a curve as I indicated on the chart above — it will zig and zag a bit, based on the responsibility that our kids show as they practice managing their own lives.
But they should be given opportunities for epic failure — better to do it in high school where the stakes are lower and the education is free (for most) and where parents are nearby to help our kids process their life management abilities. If they don't learn how to set their own guardrails in high school they'll never be able to do so in college.
Our ultimate goal must be to gradually relinquish our control more and more until they are effectively running their own lives — even if we don't necessarily like the way they're running them.
As they grow older we have to increasingly give them responsibilities.
Over time we will have to willfully, intentionally, and gradually diminish the things we control.
We will have to let them experiment with managing their own lives.
We will need to process their mistakes with them.
Three things that would keep us from relinquishing control.
Fear. We have to trust God for things we can't control. It's as much of a spiritual battle as it is a physical one.
Discomfort. It's much more comfortable for us to keep them on our radar and under our control.
Hard Realities. We know the dangers that are lurking out in the world and we also know our kids' particular weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
Fear, discomfort, and the hard realities all make us hesitate to relinquish any control–in fact, we're tempted to increase it. We tend to reign our teenage kids in closer and tighter so we don't have to worry so much.
But the more control we assert over teenagers, the more likely it is that they will resent us — some for a lifetime. Some will be counting the days until they can legally exit our home and be free of us completely. Ironically, those kids will end up doing the very things our use of control was trying to prevent them from doing in the first place.
Discouraged? Don't be. Luckily we have a powerful tool in our parenting tool belt that is even greater than control. It's called INFLUENCE.
Keeping computers out of kids' bedrooms is not the answer.
Sometimes parents believe that as long as the computer resides in a common family area our kids are safe. I want to tell you about a bizarre intervention I did that proved how wrong this idea is.
Over a decade ago — in the days before cell phones — an anonymous teen began "Instant Messaging" me using a fake screen name. All I knew was that he knew me and that he was someone in our youth group. His IMs to me continued daily and he shared about being depressed and having thoughts of despair and suicide. I was glad to offer as much encouragement and perspective as I could. Over the course of several weeks he unknowingly gave me enough clues that I figured out who he was, but i didn't let on. I'll call him Roger.
Late one evening Roger was especially troubled and messaged that he was planning to kill himself that very night! He even had a plan in place! Yikes! I knew an immediate intervention was necessary, but I was unsure of how to proceed.
I needed to talk to Roger's parents, but didn't want to raise any alarm which might make him either kill himself or bolt. Calling the family phone so late at night would be too risky. I decided the best response was to drive to his house and assess the situation from there — and hopefully find a way to talk to his parents without his awareness.
I recruited my intern to sit at my computer, to keep Roger engaged in conversation with "me!" What a nerve-wracking assignment it was for this poor guy — keep Roger alive by pretending to be me! Prayerfully, I drove to Roger's house.
When I got there I prowled around the house — in pouring rain no less — peaking through various windows to get a glimpse of what was going on. What I found shocked me. There in the family room his parents were sitting on a couch watching — no kidding — "Leave it to Beaver." Not 10 feet away Roger was sitting at the family computer typing his nightmarish, suicidal plans to "me." Wow!
Miraculously, I was finally able to get the parents' attention without Roger's knowledge. Dripping wet from the rain, I revealed to them that their son was in a depressive crisis, which they were completely unaware of. It took me showing them the written transcript I had brought of Roger's dire IMs to convince them. Once they were convinced, the three of us walked out into the family room and confronted him. He was shocked — but ultimately relieved — to have been found out. His parents showed tremendous empathy and concern, and immediately got him treatment for his depression. Roger was rescued!
Today, more than a decade later, Roger is an emotionally healthy, growing Christian husband. I still marvel at the way God allowed me to be part of that turning point in his life.
I wanted to share this story because it proves something very important: parents mustn't assume that simply having the computer in public view is enough to keep them safe. Relying on that gives a false sense of security.
But perhaps my point is moot. With today's proliferation of computers at school and friends' houses–in addition to tablets, ipads, smart phones, laptops, etc.–it would be nearly impossible for parents to monitor 100% of their kids' computer use.
And even though I am in favor of them we can't rely solely on filters, keystroke loggers, and accountability software either. One couple recently told me how their teenage son builds and refurbishes computers with parts he keeps in his bedroom. He knows way more about circumventing filters and firewalls than they do!
So is there any hope for protecting our kids from online dangers? Four thoughts.
We need to be reasonably attentive to what's going on in our kid's world.
We need to find out what's going on in our kid's heart.
We need to recognize that Parental Control has serious limitations.
We would be wise to figure out how to have strong Parental Influence.
I'll write my thoughts about the difference between Parental Control and Parental Influence in my next blog posts.

Question: I performed the obligatory [first] Hajj 2 years ago and that was the first time. On the day of 'Arafah I was supplicating to my Lord on that great day. My eyes reddened and when I finished, I wiped my hands over my face and tears, as a result two eyelashes fell off. I had not intended this so is there anything required of me in this case?
Response: May Allaah accept from you and us and may He multiply your reward for your adherence and your concentration and your deed which you had intended for the Face (Sake) of Allaah. As for that which you have mentioned of your eyelashes falling off, then there is no expiation for you to make, in shaa.-Allaah, since you had not intended that and it was not done on purpose. Allaah has forgiven that which is done mistakenly or forgetfully, and may Allaah grant you success.
Important note: Wiping the face after supplicating is not from the Sunnah, rather it is an innovation, and this fatwa does not in any way or form imply it's permissibility or acceptance.

How to say that a point should be skipped so that we can move on to a better (or deeper) question?
My question is in the context of essay writing. My essay will discuss the viewpoints presented by this video from BBC. In the video, the question "How should we include transgender athletics in sport?" is discussed.
Let me give a brief summary about the video first.
Over all, the video presents the case for and against the rules that allow trans women to compete in female sport subject to the condition that the trans women keep their level of testosterone low for a certain period of time. In the first half of the video, people express a view that this kind of hormone therapy doesn't do enough to eliminate an advantage trans women have because even after the therapy they still have a male body. On average, trans women will be taller, bigger and stronger than their female counterparts.
The part of the video that is particularly relevant to my question is when a medical expert, whose her research plays a role in determining the rules, introduce a new question "Can transgender women and cisgender compete against one another in meaningful competition?" [4:55 in the video]
I want to write a part of essay that conveys a meaning similar to this: "Please don't keep arguing endlessly that trans women have got physical advantages over women in sport... In stead, what we should care is whether or not it is still possible for them to compete in a meaningful way." (By meaningful, I mean that the gap in physical strength between trans women and women is reduced to the point that trans women do not always win.)

Whoever's chairing the debate in such contexts will often say Moving on... - and then introduce some new but relevant issue (particularly if the discussion doesn't seem to be getting anywhere). But there are any number of different ways of announcing a shift in the conversational focus, as parodied by Monty Python's And Now for Something Completely Different. – FumbleFingers Reinstate Monica May 17 '19 at 15:24
If you discuss the point about the physical advantages, you could transition into the topic of the meaningful way by saying something like "But enough about...". You could also say something like "Instead of arguing endlessly about physical attributes, we should..."

New to adoption? Welcome to the club.
Adoption touches a growing number of Americans. But most people know very little about it.
And the little they do know from depictions in the movies or the media — such as the story the adoptive mother who sent her son back to Moscow alone on a plane — is enough to make them head for the hills.
The truth is, adoption is a complicated issue. The definition is simple enough. But the process — and the feelings that it stirs up in people — is anything but.
Adoption involves transferring the parental rights from one person or couple to another person or couple. Unlike foster care, which is a temporary arrangement, it's permanent. That means that adoptive parents have the same rights and responsibilities as biological parents.
Once you relinquish your rights to your child, your decision is irrevocable. You can't suddenly change your mind and get your child back. As a result, it's important to explore all of your options in order to make an informed decision.
Adoption is a loving decision that involves putting your child's interests above your own. It's often as a one-time event. But it's actually a lifelong process that changes and evolves over the years.
Most people choose adoption as a result of an unplanned pregnancy. But it's not their first choice. They usually come to it indirectly, after exhausting their other aptions like terminating their pregnancy or parenting.
So, if you're having doubts about your decision, not to worry. Most people in your situation go through a similar process of questioning.
Some of the questions you may be asking yourself include
Am I making the right decision?
Will my child's adoptive parents love him as much as I do?
How can I be sure they're the right parents for my child?
Will I feel the same way about my decision in the future?
How do I know my child won't grow up resenting me?
Probably the first thing you need to know is that adoption has changed over the years. And mostly for the better.
In the past, expectant parents didn't have any rights. Under the old system of closed adoptions, they were forced to give up their babies and never saw them again.
Today, thanks to open adoption, you can actually take an active role in choosing your baby's parents. And you can have an ongoing relationship with your child as he or she gets older.
Being part of the decision-making process gives you more control over it and lets you have a voice in your baby's future. But it doesn't necessarily make things easier.
When it comes to dealing with an unplanned pregnancy there are no easy answers. We can explain the basics of adoption to you and help you find a family when you're ready.
But no matter how you look at it, adoption still involves pain and loss. That's why it's important to do your research while you still have time and get proper advice and guidance from licensed adoption professionals.
As your delivery date draws nearer, there will be days when you'll wake up feeling completely overwhelmed. You'll wonder if you're making the right decision.
Just remember: it's all part of the process. At the same time, keep in mind that each year hundreds of expectant parents go on to place their babies in loving homes. And find peace with their decision. With the right planning and preparation, eventually you can too.

Station Eleven Named 2018 Big Read Wichita Selection
Contact: Julie Sherwood, Wichita Public Library |
(316) 261-8590 | jsherwood@wichita.gov
The Big Read Wichita will return for an 11th year, featuring the book Station Eleven, a science fiction novel by Emily St. John Mandel. Wichita Library officials announced today that the Wichita Public Library Foundation has received a $15,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to support the one book reading program. The award is one of 79 made to communities across the United States and is the only one made to a Kansas community for the 2018-2019 program year. The grant funds book purchases and other costs related to the program such as author fees, venue rentals and marketing. Mayor Jeff Longwell and Congressional spouse Susan O. Estes will serve as honorary co-chairs for the program.
Station Eleven won the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award in 2015 and was a finalist for the National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner Award. Since its original publication in 2014, the book has been translated into 27 languages. The title will be the most frequently read work in this year's Big Read program with 17 of the 79 grants based on Mandel's novel.
The Big Read Wichita runs from Oct. 1 through Nov. 15. A kickoff party and a visit from the author are among program events in planning. Additional details will be announced during the summer. Readers are invited to join the conversation at the Big Read's Facebook page and find events happening in and around Wichita at www.bigreadwichita.org.
Over the past decade, dozens of area schools, libraries, cultural organizations, businesses and book clubs have joined together to celebrate literary reading through Big Read Wichita programs. Participants are encouraged to read the chosen book and to explore its themes through a variety of programs and special activities.
