As a mom to two children, I am no stranger to the delivery room. I mean what could be more magical than the birth of your own children? Recently I learned there is one thing almost as magical, to witness the birth of someone else. My sister graciously invited me into the room when my sweet little niece Adeline was delivered. If I were more eloquent with words I would describe my experience from start to finish, but I am not sure I have the right words to truly give it justice. While I did manage to capture incredible images I've decided not to share them here.
Roughly 36 hours after Miss Adeline was born I returned to the hospital to capture her during the first few days of her life. I find newborn sessions at the hospital to be magical. The lack of sleep has yet to set in and parents are still teetering in a state of euphoria and instant love. Welcome Sweet Adeline!
What is a fresh 48 Photographer?
For those of you wondering, fresh 48 photographers will visit you in the hospital shortly after your baby arrives to document this miraculous occasion. You don't need to use the photographers you the hospitals have on staff. Learn more!
Want to get your hands on that amazing unicorn swaddle??
You can find it over at Spearmint Baby.

Q: Recursive definition of products Let $(M,*)$ be a Magma. How can one recursively define products such as $(a_1*a_2)*(a_3*(a_4*a_5))$ and so on ?
The basic idea is i think that we have something like : $P^1(a_1)=a_1$ and $P^n(a_1,....,a_n)=P^k(a_1,..a_k)*P^l(a_{k+1},..,a_n)$, with $k+l=n$.
Any help is appreciated.

I like Innisfree for the fact that it's a Korean brand and is known for supereffective skincare products. I find everything attractive when I enter Innisfree stores. As soon as I tried this range, I got captivated by its fragrance. I got this particular jelly softener as I was in search of a mild exfoliator. Read on to know how it worked for me.
Innisfree's Wine Peeling Softener is a soothing and clarifying treatment for newly exfoliated skin. It helps the skin recover faster and generate new and healthy skin cells fast. It softens dead skin cells which completely eliminates them. It also supplies abundant nutrients and moisture onto the skin to keep it soft and firm. This is formulated to be hypoallergenic and is therefore suitable for those who have sensitive skin. Enriched with wine extracts from France, Wine creates a clear and smooth jelly-like skin by gently lifting away dead skin cells and providing hydrating moisture.
Key ingredients include Wine Extract, Grape Seed Extract, Dimethicone, PEG-100 Stearate, Carbomer, Xanthan Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin, Potassium Hydroxide, Sodium.
After cleansing, dispense a proper amount of the softener onto a cotton pad. Sweep the pad gently all over the face and neck until residues start to ball up. Rinse off with lukewarm water and refine skin with toner.
Packaging: I really like the packaging of this product. It is a quite sturdy bottle which is not prone to breaking. Also, there is a double cap which ensures double safety and prevents the product from spilling.
I love its fragrance the most. I use it once a week. Whenever I open the bottle, I kind of keep smelling it for about 10 minutes or so because it is that great. I feel like I am walking in vineyards.
The texture is smooth and quite runny. It feels watery when poured onto the palm. When applied on face, after few minutes when you rub your face in small circular motions, dead skin starts peeling off. It doesn't harm the skin at all. Skin feels soft and smooth to touch after peeling. I noticed it does nothing for blackheads and whiteheads as it is really mild. It just scrubs off the dead topmost layer in a gentle manner. It is very much suited for sensitive skin. Also it leaves the skin really moisturised and hydrated and doesn't take the natural oils away from the skin. It's a big yayy for me as I have seen products which are really harsh on the skin and strip skin of its natural moisture.
• Enriched with plant extracts.
• Amazing for sensitive skin.
• Fragrance is to die for (at least for me).
• Leaves skin smooth and soft.
• Doesn't strip skin of its natural moisture.
• Ain't a total hassle free product.
• Application is a bit tricky.
• I feel it's for people who have a good skin as it's a mild exfoliator.
Would I Repurchase/Recommend Innisfree Wine Peeling Jelly Softener?
I won't really repurchase this particular product (the huge bottle will last long). But I look forward to try other products from this range. I would suggest it to only those who already have good skin and are in search of a mild exfoliator. It does what it claims.

CCPA Internship Series 2020: Family Planning Program of the Public Health Department of Seattle and King County
by lhandler | Dec 14, 2020 | Internships |
By Betelhem Muno '22 It was a struggle falling asleep the night leading up to the first sexual health session. I was imagining the different ways the conversation could go wrong with the intimate group of Eritrean and Ethiopian young women. How do you have a conversation about a topic that is usually shushed immediately? How would this discussion take shape? Was anyone going to get offended by conflicting cultural norms? How would I handle the inevitable discomfort and disagreement? Although I have lived in the United States since I was six, I have stayed connected to the Ethiopian community in Seattle. In January, I met Celia Thomas, a health educator in the Family Planning Program of the Public Health Department of Seattle & King County. We met to talk about a possible internship working with her, focusing on sexual health. I was excited when she told me that she had been wanting to find a way to more directly connect with the Eritrean and Ethiopian communities in Seattle in a way that was culturally appropriate. I was also quietly terrified about the prospect of leading conversations about a delicate topic. Celia's expertise in providing sexual health education to high school students gave me the confidence to start to structure an internship that would push all our thinking on many different levels. The initial plan to meet in person was made impossible by the pandemic. I think the change to remote engagement prompted me to take a more creative approach. I took up a larger leadership role in having these conversations and made it more accessible to young women in...
CCPA Internship Series 2020: GoodCompany Ventures
by lhandler | Dec 10, 2020 | Internships, Student Perspective |
By Sophie Schleifer '22 My name is Sophie Schleifer, and I am a junior Economics Major and Visual Studies Minor at Haverford College. This past summer I had the wonderful opportunity to intern with GoodCompany Ventures, a non-profit accelerator in Philadelphia, where I worked on developing ImpactableX, an impact measurement and analytics service for early stage social and sustainable ventures. Echoing many of my peers' experience, my internship was completely virtual – in fact, in an entirely different time zone! Despite the inability to meet my coworkers in person, I still had an immersive experience and developed many valuable relationships with incredible individuals. My work with ImpactableX combined my passions for sustainability and social justice with business, and I met many inspiring change makers and entrepreneurs from whom I learned a lot. Over the course of this internship, I developed a deeper understanding of the intricacies and behavior in the impact investing space, while simultaneously gaining valuable start-up experience. Throughout this internship, I was challenged to think innovatively and independently in a range of different positions and tasks behind the scenes of the growing startup. I designed new graphics every week, from externality charts to a visualization of a vegan burger's water scarcity impact. I learned through practice how to cultivate a brand as well as create clear and educational infographics. I also wrote several articles on topics regarding ImpactableX methodology and impact monetization as well as the greater "social return on investment" market. This project definitely challenged me to understand on a deeper level the history and evolution of impact investing in order to coherently inform founders and...
Guide To Finding Summer Internship Opportunities
by jchan2 | Dec 4, 2020 | Career Exploration, Internships, Job Search, Liberal Arts, Networking |
By Jason Chan, Ph.D. Fellowship and Career Advisor / Assistant Director As we near the end of fall semester and look ahead to 2021, the CCPA staff realize many of you may be thinking about summer internships. With COVID-19 throwing a wrench in many of your plans last summer and the ongoing uncertainty about what the pandemic will look like in the new year, some of you may be feeling concerned or anxious about finding and securing an internship. These feelings are completely understandable and shared by many college students across the country. The pandemic has shaken up the landscape of work and employment this year, and with priorities and resources being shifted around, employers are still figuring out what the future will look like for their organizations. That said, many employers are continuing to offer summer internships. Some may already be recruiting but many will start recruiting after the new year and well into the spring. If you haven't come across any opportunities in your field of interest yet, it may be that your industry has a slightly later recruiting timeline. With that in mind, the CCPA has pulled together the following guide for your summer internship search. Bookmark this page and revisit it over winter break or when you're ready to start your search process! GUIDE TO FINDING SUMMER INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES (2021) Reflect on your goals, skills, and experiences: Reflect on and identify your goals for a summer internship. Are there industries, organizations, or positions you're curious to learn more about? What skills and experiences do you want to gain and why? Use your responses to guide...
CCPA Internship Series 2020: PIVOT
by lhandler | Nov 22, 2020 | Internships |
By Faith Apencha '21 Hello! My name is Faith Apencha. I am a senior, anthropology major, and health studies minor. I hope to engage in global health work in the future and, thus, my Summer 2020 PIVOT internship. PIVOT is an NGO based in the Ifanadiana District, Madagascar that combines accessible and comprehensive healthcare services with rigorous scientific research to save lives. Madagascar, though known for its extraordinary biodiversity, is burdened by poverty and consequently, disease. I am continually struck by the suffering of people, especially children under five who suffer and die of highly preventable illnesses such as malaria. Through data and research, the organization can create a scalable health system strengthening initiative that addresses poverty and disease. I envisioned this summer to be similar to the last (summer 2019). I spent time in Seattle, living with a vibrant 76-year-old lady who had graciously offered me a home, a beautiful rose garden, and an unlimited supply of homemade bread when I was scammed out of an apartment upon my arrival in Seattle, working in a coworking space. According to my supervisor, getting scammed is a part of the life of a global health worker. I enjoyed my 40-minute walks to work where I was tasked with researching the quality of care provided by community health workers to children under five from various NGOs based in Africa, amongst other things. Unfortunately, this summer has brought on its challenges due to COVID-19. Instead of summer in Seattle, I and the other 14 members of PIVOT's US team, spend our workdays at home working remotely. I envisioned my work to involve...
CCPA Internship Series: Healthcare Improvement Foundation
by lhandler | Oct 7, 2020 | General, Internships, Student Perspective |
By Valentina Moreno '22 Funding Source: Whitehead Internship Program Somehow in the midst of an unprecedented global pandemic and a border-transcending civil movement, HCIF managed to make my summer experience incredibly fulfilling. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for an organization that adopted me as soon as I got on my first zoom call. The pandemic forced me to move to the UK at the start of the summer where I worked remotely for the majority of my internship. I was separated from my coworkers in a very literal geographic sense and distanced by my drastic time zone difference. Nevertheless, I have never encountered a more welcoming and inspiring group of individuals. If HCIF has taught me anything, it is that there is no need to compromise on what you value in a job. I never had to sacrifice mission and social justice for intellectual rigor and I never had to give up my own mental health and happiness to do well at my job. Essentially, I learned that even as an intern who has yet to graduate, I have access to incredible opportunities. To any future Whitehead applicant, I guarantee that an internship at HCIF (even a remote one) will result in unparalleled personal and professional growth. Prefacing a more detailed account of my time at HCIF, I want to begin by acknowledging the exceptional mentorship of Claudette Fonshell. Claudette is in charge of overseeing Whitehead interns, she continuously made me feel included, comfortable, and challenged by the work I was assigned. I never felt lost or overwhelmed during my internship in large part due to her sustained attention and her...

Q: Syntax for masking node I am trying to get a direct collision contact box around a node I have in my scene. Instead of a rectangle or a circle, I want its collision detection to be exactly around the node itself.
Apple developer manual gives this code in objective-c
SKSpriteNode *sprite = [SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithImageNamed:@"Spaceship"];
sprite.physicsBody = [SKPhysicsBody bodyWithTexture:sprite.texture size:sprite.texture.size];

I tried this in Swift
invisinode.physicsBody = SKPhysicsBody(edgeChainFromPath: invisinode.size)

But to no avail. What would be the proper syntax so that the collision box is directly around invisinode?

A: This answer will be in Swift, your question is tagged as both so I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for.
If you want your SKSpriteNode the same size as the texture you're giving it, then you can set your physics body to be the same size, centered in your node:
var skspriteTexture = SKTexture(imageNamed: "Spaceship")

var skspriteNode = SKSpriteNode(texture: skspriteTexture, size: skspriteTexture.size())
skspriteNode.physicsBody = SKPhysicsBody(circleOfRadius: skspriteNode.size.width / 2)

I can't say enough about how much I love ribbon as a decorative tool. It adds a finishing touch to everything.
It's easy to find in just about every width, color, and pattern.
You can buy it at craft stores and Walmart and fabric stores.
At a low cost. Bonus!
Later this week you'll see how I used it it define anchor chart spaces. In the past I have added bulletin board border alone to the window on my door and was quite happy with it. This year I decided to mix it up and use ribbon.
I used the blue, but felt like it needed more color. So I layered on some orange.
I slept on it and when I looked at it again the next day I felt like it needed a little something more. So I added the black border.
There wasn't anything wrong with the window or it's natural border. However, this is a great example of how simple (and also cheap and easy) touches can make a big impact on the overall appearance of your classroom.
Always be on the lookout for little ways that you can personalize your classroom and make it something special.

Мельгýнівський кургáн (Литий курган, Лита могила) — один з найдавніших могил-курганів скіфів, царський курган 2-ї пол. 7 ст. до н. е.

Історія

Розкопаний у вересні 1763 року біля с. Копані Знам'янського району Кіровоградської області. Роботи проведені за вказівкою генерал-губернатора Новоросійської губернії О. Мельгунова. Додатково досліджувався В. Ястребовим у 1892 та Н. Бокій у 1990. 2019 року проведено розкопки під керівництвом Ю. Болтрика. Встановлено, що курган споруджений наприкінці VII ст. до н. е. та зазнав змін у IV ст. до н. е.

Відомості про розкопки уривчасті та суперечливі. Висота кургану близько 10,5 м. На вершині знайдена кам'яна баба. Насип складався з перепаленого ошлакованого ґрунту, в якому знайдені залишки переплавлених металів, горілих кісток, каміння, землі та глини, змішаних з вуглинами. Використання вогню було частиною поховального обряду.

У кургані знайдено ряд золотих прикрас та оздоб меча, які зберігаються в Ермітажі. На глибині 2 м під кам'яними плитами знайдені залізний акінак з окутим золотом руків'ям та вкритими золотою платівкою дерев'яними піхвами, прикрашеною зображеннями фантастичних тварин у передньосхідному стилі, золота діадема, срібні деталі від ассирійського палацового табурету, 17 масивних золотих платівок із зображенням орла з петлями на звороті, платівки із зображеннями мавп і птахів, бронзова застібка з голівками левів на кінцях, 40 бронзових наконечників стріл та інше. Прикраси і зброя в скіфо-урартському стилі. Речі не мали слідів вогню.

Значення
Пам'ятка має видатне значення, оскільки це єдиний відомий на сьогодні скіфський царський курган того часу в Північному Причорномор'ї. Більшість дослідників вважають, що з розкопок саме цього кургану розпочинається історія археологічних досліджень в Україні. 2020 року завершено відновлення насипу кургану та встановлення пам'ятного знака.

В українській символіці

Золоте зображення орла з кургану використано як головний елемент герба Кіровоградської області.

Building with bank and coffee shop planned for Rivers Casino site
SCHENECTADY — The Galesi Group is proposing a retail building by the future casino to house a coffee shop and a bank, both with a drive-thru.
The Rotterdam developer is seeking site plan approval from the city Planning Commission next week for a 4,000-square-foot building that will house a coffee shop and a bank to serve people coming in and out of the Mohawk Harbor site.
The proposed building would be situated at the corner of Erie Boulevard and Rush Street near the entrance to the Rivers Casino and Resort at Mohawk Harbor, which is under construction and expected to open in March.
"We're talking to a variety of people," said David Buicko, CEO of Galesi, when asked about specific tenants. "We're getting this approved so we can market it."
The building would be split with 2,000 square feet for each, according to documents submitted to the city. The coffee shop would have a drive-thru with a bypass lane and the bank would have a drive-thru ATM, which will use the same bypass lane as the coffee shop.

Equilibrioception
Previous (Equidae)
Next (Equinox)
Equilibrioception or sense of balance is one of the physiological senses. Broadly defined, a sense is a mechanism or faculty by which a living organism receives information about its external or internal environment, allowing it to react accordingly. The sense of balance reflects an awareness of equilibrium involving the perception of gravity. It helps prevent humans and animals from falling over when walking or standing still. In humans, equilibrioception is determined by the level of fluid (properly called endolymph) in the labyrinth—a complex set of tubing in the inner ear.
The vestibular system present in humans and other vertebrates appeared over 300 million years ago (MLB 2007) and involves remarkably complex and harmonious coordination of parts of the body (semicircular canals, otoliths, nerves, brain, eyes, and so forth) and other senses (visual system, proprioception). Equlibrioception is so important that some believe it was among the first senses to appear in the history of life (MLB 2007).

Equilibrioception versus proprioception
Balance skill development
Equilibrioception and proprioception are both physiological senses and some definitions of proprioception do not make a distinction between it and equilibrioception. However, these terms are generally differentiated.
Proprioception is the sense of the relative position and movement of neighboring parts of the body and muscle tension. Unlike the six exteroceptive senses (sight, taste, smell, touch, hearing, and balance) by which we perceive the outside world, and interoceptive senses, by which we perceive the pain and the stretching of internal organs, proprioception is a third distinct sensory modality that provides feedback solely on the status of the body internally. It is the sense that indicates whether the body is moving with required effort, as well as where the various parts of the body are located in relation to each other. Proprioception, the perception of "body awareness," is the "unconscious" awareness of where the various regions of the body are located at any one time. This can be demonstrated by anyone's closing his or her eyes and waving the hand around. Assuming proper proprioceptive function, at no time will the person lose awareness of where the hand actually is, even though it is not being detected by any of the other senses. It involves information from sensory receptors located in muscles, tendons, and joints and integrating this with information from other receptors (such as vestibular receptors used in the sense of balance or equilibrioception) to provide awareness of the relative position of the parts of the body and the direction and rate movement of limbs, that is, proprioception.
Kinesthesia is a term that often is used interchangeably with proprioception; however, kinesthesia specifically excludes the sense of equilibrium or balance. An inner ear infection, for example, might degrade the sense of balance. In the broader sense of proprioception (including the sense of balance), this would degrade the proprioceptive sense, but not the kinesthetic sense. The infected person would be able to walk, but only by using the person's sense of sight to maintain balance; the person would be unable to walk with eyes closed. In the narrower sense of proprioception (not including the sense of balance), kinesthesia and proprioception would be the same.
Equilibrioception in humans
In humans, equilibrioception is mainly sensed by the detection of acceleration, which occurs in the vestibular system. Other senses play roles as well, e.g. the visual system and proprioception. For instance, it is harder to stand on one foot with eyes closed than with eyes open.
Balance skill implemented
The vestibular system, or balance system, is the sensory system that provides the dominant input about movement and equilibrioception. Together with the cochlea, a part of the auditory system, the vestibular system constitutes the labyrinth of the inner ear, situated in the vestibulum in the inner ear (Figure 1).
As our movements consist of rotations and translations, the vestibular system comprises two components:
the semicircular canal system, which indicate rotational movements; and
the otoliths, which indicate linear translations.
The vestibular system sends signals primarily to the neural structures that control our eye movements, and to the muscles that keep us upright. The projections to the former provide the anatomical basis of the vestibulo-ocular reflex, which is required for clear vision; and the projections to the muscles that control our posture are necessary to keep us upright.
Semicircular canal system
The semicircular canal system detects rotational movements. More precisely, it detects change in rotational movements. The semicircular canals are its main tools to achieve this detection.
As the basis of our perception of a three-dimensional world, our vestibular system contains three semicircular canals in each labyrinth. They are approximately orthogonal to each other, and are called the horizontal (or lateral), the superior (or superior), and the posterior (or inferior) semicircular canals. Anterior and posterior canals may be collectively called vertical semicircular canals.
Movement of fluid within the horizontal semicircular canal corresponds to rotation of the head around a vertical axis (i.e. the neck), as when doing a pirouette.
The anterior and posterior semicircular canals detect rotations of the head in the sagittal plane (as when nodding), and in the frontal plane, as when cartwheeling. Both anterior and posterior canals are oriented at approximately 45° between frontal and sagittal planes.
The movement of fluid pushes on a structure called cupula, which contains hair cells that transducts the mechanical movement to electrical signals (Boron and Boulpaep 2005).
Push-pull systems
Figure 2: Push-pull system of the semicircular canals, for a horizontal head movement to the right.
The canals are arranged in such a way that each canal on the left side has an almost parallel counterpart on the right side. Each of these three pairs works in a push-pull fashion: when one canal is stimulated, its corresponding partner on the other side is inhibited, and vice versa.
This push-pull system allows us to sense all directions of rotation: while the right horizontal canal gets stimulated during head rotations to the right (Fig 2), the left horizontal canal gets stimulated (and thus predominantly signals) by head rotations to the left.
Vertical canals are coupled in a crossed fashion; in other words, stimulations that are excitatory for an anterior canal are also inhibitory for the contralateral posterior, and vice versa.
Vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR)
The vestibulo-ocular reflex. A rotation of the head is detected, which triggers an inhibitory signal to the extraocular muscles on one side and an excitatory signal to the muscles on the other side. The result is a compensatory movement of the eyes.
The vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) is a reflex eye movement that stabilizes images on the retina during head movement by producing an eye movement in the direction opposite to head movement, thus preserving the image on the center of the visual field. For example, when the head moves to the right, the eyes move to the left, and vice versa. Since slight head movements are present all the time, the VOR is very important for stabilizing vision: Patients whose VOR is impaired find it difficult to read, because they cannot stabilize the eyes during small head tremors. The VOR reflex does not depend on visual input and works even in total darkness or when the eyes are closed.
This reflex, combined with the push-pull principle described above, forms the physiological basis of the rapid head impulse test or Halmagyi-Curthoys-test, in which the head is rapidly and forcefully moved to the side, while controlling if the eyes keep looking in the same direction.
The mechanics of the semicircular canals can be described by a damped oscillator. If we designate the deflection of the cupula with θ {\displaystyle \theta } , and the head velocity with q ˙ {\displaystyle {\dot {q}}} , the cupula deflection is approximately
θ ( s ) = α s ( T 1 s + 1 ) ( T 2 s + 1 ) q ˙ ( s ) {\displaystyle \theta (s)={\frac {\alpha s}{(T_{1}s+1)(T_{2}s+1)}}{\dot {q}}(s)}
α is a proportionality factor, and s corresponds to the frequency. For humans, the time constants T1 and T2 are approximately three ms and five s, respectively. As a result, for typical head movements, which cover the frequency range of 0.1 Hz and 10 Hz, the deflection of the cupula is approximately proportional to the head-velocity. This is very useful, since the velocity of the eyes must be opposite to the velocity of the head in order to have clear vision.
Central Processing
Signals from the vestibular system also project to the Cerebellum (where they are used to keep the VOR effective, a task usually referred to as learning or adaptation) and to different areas in the cortex. The projections to the cortex are spread out over different areas, and their implications are currently not clearly understood.
Otolithic organs
While the semicircular canals respond to rotations, the otolithic organs sense linear accelerations.
We have two otolithic organs on each side, one called utricle, the other Saccule. The otoconia crystals in the Otoconia Layer rest on a viscous gel layer and are heavier than their surroundings. Therefore they get displaced during linear acceleration, which in turn deflects the ciliary bundles of the hair cells and thus produces a sensory signal.
Most of the utricular signals elicit eye movements, while the majority of the saccular signals projects to muscles that control our posture. While the interpretation of the rotation signals from the semicircular canals is straightforward, the interpretation of otolith signals is more difficult: Since gravity is equivalent to a constant linear acceleration, we somehow have to distinguish otolith signals that are caused by linear movements from such that are caused by gravity. We can do that quite well, but the neural mechanisms underlying this separation are not yet fully understood.
Disfunction
When the sense of balance is interrupted it causes dizziness, disorientation, and nausea. Balance can be upset by Meniere's disease, an inner ear infection, by a bad common cold affecting the head, or a number of other medical conditions. It can also be temporarily disturbed by rapid and vigorous movement, for example riding on a merry-go-round. Vertigo is a major symptom of a balance disorder.
Most astronauts find that their sense of balance is impaired when in orbit, because they are in a constant state of free-fall while their rockets are off. This causes a form of motion sickness called space sickness.
Equilibrioception in animals
The vestibular system is similar between humans and other vertebrates, including those as diverse as fish, turtles, and rats (Gibson 2007; MBL 2007). Highstein, professor at of the Washington University School of Medicine, states that "evolution got it right the first time, when the vestibular labyrinth first appeared more than 300 million years ago" (MBL 2007). He notes that not only were vestibular organs an early invention—perhaps one of the first sensory systems to appear—but the system of hair cells, canals, and otoliths has not changed much over the eons.
While the vestibular organs in fish "are very similar to ours" (MBL 2007), equilibrioception in many marine animals is done with an entirely different organ, the statocyst, which detects the position of tiny calcareous stones to determine which way is "up."

When we experience jealousy we are wise to look deeper, for like anger it can signal a problem in a relationship with another. It can even point to a problem in our relationship with God when we are discontent with our circumstances.
Experiencing difficult emotions should challenge us to grow in our walk with Christ, while emotions like joy and happiness are refreshing to our spirit and our soul. Whatever the emotion that may well up inside, remember that God is emotion-filled too!
How do you deal with emotions like anger or jealousy? Who or what in your life brings you joy? How does the truth that God also experiences emotions encourage you?

Part VIIIAB of the Family Law Act concerning De-Facto Couples
22/07/2009 22/07/2009 phil
Part VIIIAB of the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth)
Did you know a new Part has been inserted into the Commonwealth Family Law Act 1975 ("the Act") which provides unmarried couples with the right to have their financial and property matters settled in a Court exercising jurisdiction under the Act?
Part VIIIAB of the Act has created a simpler and more direct way for de-facto couples to settle their disputes. It provides for those couples who wish to access the Federal Family Law Courts ("the Court") on property and maintenance matters. Although Part VIIIAB was enacted on 5 December 2008, any de-facto relationship which has broken down before that date may still have the option to take action under the relevant provisions of the Act.
A cause of action may be sought by a party to the de-facto relationship under sections 90SE, 90SM, or Part VIIIB of the Act. An application must be made within two years of the date of separation in order for it to be valid. Section 90SE allows the Court to make an order for maintenance of a party to the relationship in the event of a relationship breakdown. Section 90SM allows the Court to alter the respective parties' interests in any property of the relationship, and Part VIIIB, which is not a new Part of the Act but has been extended to apply to both married and unmarried couples, gives rights and liabilities with respect to superannuation interests.
Part VIIIAB will only apply to unmarried couples who have been engaged in the relationship for at least two years, or alternatively, there is a child of the relationship. Furthermore, both parties will need to have resided within a 'participating jurisdiction' – which encompasses all Australian States with the exception of South Australia and Western Australia – for at least one third of the whole term of the relationship. If this is not the case, the applicant party will need to show either, they made 'substantial contributions' to the relationship, or that a failure to make an order will result in a 'serious injustice' to the applicant party.
A couple are engaged in a 'de-facto relationship' for purposes of this Act if they are not legally married to each other, they are not otherwise related by family, and with regard to all circumstances of the relationship, they are living together on a genuine domestic basis. A de-facto relationship may be between two persons of different or the same gender – there is no discrimination! The Court has discretion to determine whether there is or is not a de-facto relationship in existence before proceedings will commence. If one of the parties to the relationship dies after separation, proceedings may still be commenced or even finalized provided the deceased are legally represented.
De-facto couples may now also be parties to Financial Agreements, which may be drafted prior to, during, or after a relationship breakdown. These Agreements are the same as those which can be created for married couples under the Act. The Agreement will be binding at the point where all parties to the Agreement have signed it. A party to the relationship may not make an application under Division 2 of Part VIIIAB where there is already a Binding Financial Agreement in relation to that matter. Financial agreements may be terminated by the parties to the Agreement or set aside by the Court in certain circumstances.
In summary, unmarried couples now have the benefit of accessing the Family Court which is a specialist court with vast experience and expertise in the area of relationship breakdown. They will have access to procedures and dispute resolution mechanisms which are more suited to handling family litigation arising on relationship breakdown. Among other things, it will save de-facto couples a huge cost now that they can have both their financial and child related matters settled in the one court!

Over the course of their 30-plus year career, renowned college-pop experimentalists John Flansburgh and John Linnell have never shied away from joining the lyrically macabre with bold and often unusual instrumentation—whether it's talking about being reincarnated as a bag of groceries on 1990's Flood or having their remains shot out into space (and coming back as a ghost) on 2016's Phone Power.
The duo's 20th studio album, I Like Fun (arriving on January 19, 2018), is similarly—if not more so—interested in personal oblivion.
"At some point we realized we could call any They Might Be Giants record 'Deathtrip,' and it would be appropriate," jokes Flansburgh. "But it wouldn't be very welcoming.
"I think the truth is, as a band, and as writers, the mixed bag of writing melodic songs with dystopian content is a winning combination for us. I think it speaks more to the persuasive power of melody than it does to the inevitability of dystopian themes. Because ultimately, I think people find a lot of optimism in what we're singing about, even when it's relentlessly pessimistic."
Take I Like Fun's lead single: the harmonizing, mid-tempo "I Left My Body," which contemplates what becomes of the mind after the body is finished living and likens death to a nondescript waiting room.
Written over the last year and designed by TMBG's longtime graphic collaborator Paul Sahre, I Like Fun is the result of Linnell and Flansburgh sending each other material from their respective residences in New York City and State. It also found the band in familiar territory: Reservoir Studios (formerly Skyline Studios) in New York City, where the duo once recorded their commercial breakout, Flood.
"[Skyline] has a lot of great memories for us," says Flansburgh. "Last year our producer Pat Dillett and his partner Steve took over the space, brought it back, and in a bunch of ways made it even better. I know believing a studio has any kind of special power is believing in voodoo, but when the voodoo is working for you, that's okay!"
"The idea that this album took about a year to make surprises me because I wouldn't say we fussed over any particular track that much," Flansburgh continues. "This album is kind of under-produced for us and certainly by 2017 standards. It's more like a '60s psychedelic production with a featured sound or instrument, maybe a vocal double, but not a ton of overdubs or processing. For me, just being a little more confident to keep things simple keeps it all much fresher. We just made a lot of recordings and just took advantage of being able to pull the best set out of a much larger stack."
So, why call an album with such worrying titles as "Let's Get This Over With," the aforementioned "I Left My Body," "An Insult To The Fact Checkers," and "Push Back The Hands" I Like Fun?
Flansburgh also points out that the song for which the album takes its name is nowhere near as one-sided as it sounds: "The song itself is basically about waiting for your painkillers to arrive."
Then, there's the twinkly "Push Back the Hands," which sighs with longing for a foregone time. "'Push Back the Hands' is sort of maybe about this wistful nostalgia—a false nostalgia, like there was a better time than now, and how do we get back there," acknowledges Linnell.
Though They Might Be Giants have built a lengthy, successful career around blanketing perturbed themes with springy, experimental melodies, the one thing Linnell and Flansburgh remain assured about is their band's future.
"There's not a lot of job security in music," acknowledges Flansburgh. "You see how quickly the best acts you've ever seen explode or implode and you come to realize every turn is really a chance to crash the project. Somehow we beat the odds.

British Values includes a good cup of tea.
Promoting British Values at Woodcote Primary School
As of November 2014, school must promote British Values.
The DfE have reinforced the need "to create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs and for those without faith."
At Woodcote these values are embedded throughout our school day and reinforced regularly in the following ways:
Each year the children decide upon their class rules and the rights associated with these.
We have a student council that meets to discuss issues raised in class council meetings. School Council members are elected, two from each class, voted in by their peers with year 6 children supporting the younger classes – reception and year 1. The roles and responsibilities within the council are voted on from within the council and taken very seriously. The School Council meets weekly, following an agenda and taking minutes. Actions taken by the school council are carried out in a democratic manner. The council is genuinely able to effect change within the school.
They also select and promote various charities we support during the year and recommend any immediate response for fundraising we should support as any crises occurs across the country and world. The council has a noticeboard in the hall where it displays its achievements, minutes and plans.
When there is a local or national election, the year 6 run their own campaigns, hustings and their own elections.
The Rule of Law
The importance of laws, whether those that govern the class, the school, or the country, are reinforced at every opportunity.
Pupils are taught, from day one, the rules of the school. These cover rules in class, playground rules and safety rules. Pupils are taught the value and reasons behind rules and laws, that they govern and protect us, the responsibilities that this involves and the consequences when laws are broken. Visits from authorities such as the Police, the Fire Service and cyber safety groups help reinforce this message.
The year 6 children attend Junior Citizens run by the Fire Service and learn about safety as well as working with the emergency services in emergency situations.
Individual Liberty
At Woodcote, pupils are actively encouraged to make choices, knowing that they are in a safe and supportive environment. As a school we educate and provide boundaries for young pupils to make informed choices, through a safe environment. Pupils are encouraged to know, understand and exercise their rights and personal freedoms and advised how to exercise these safely, for example through our eSafety and PSHE lessons. Pupils have a wide range of options available to choose designed to enrich their time at school through music, PE, team sports, computing and life skills such as cookery.
Children are encouraged to recommend and run lunchtime extra curricular clubs with a teacher mentor.
Children are encouraged to express their own views respectfully and to listen to those of others even if they respectfully disagree.
Mutual respect is at the heart of our every day values. Children learn that all their behaviours have an effect on them and those around them. All members of the school community are encouraged to treat each other with respect. We have a number of children with differing abilities and everyone is treated as an equal.
Year 6 are trained as peer mediators and are called upon to assist with pupil disagreements across the year groups. Year 5 and 6 are also trained as playground leaders and lead sport and activities for younger children each playtime.
Our partnership of schools presents awards after every sporting event. These are under the 2014 Olympic Value headings.
Our children run our Friday sharing assembly where each class will present what they have done this week. All children listen well and celebrate these achievements with each other.
Tolerance of those of Different Faiths and Beliefs and those without faith
Woodcote actively promotes diversity through celebrating different faiths and cultures. Religious Education lessons and PSHE lessons reinforce messages of tolerance and respect for others.
Within our school community we have a number of different cultures and faiths represented. Members of different faiths and religions are encouraged to share their knowledge to enhance learning within classes and the school.
The children have visited places of worship that are important to different faiths, namely a Hindu temple, a Jewish synagogue and out local church. We value the backgrounds of all our pupils and families and we undertake a variety of events and lessons to celebrate these. We have found this approach to be enriching for everyone as it teaches tolerance and respect for the differences both in our community and the wider world.
In February we had a multi-cultural and RE Around the World curriculum week where we cooked, danced and sang our way through different faiths and cultures.
Broader curriculum
Through History pupils are taught about significant periods in British History and are encouraged to identify these in chronological order.
In KS1, there is a strong focus on the work of famous British figures both past and present; these include Florence Nightingale, Robert Scott, Shakespeare, Guy Fawkes, Dickens and Brunel. The children really enjoy learning about people from the past and in particular those who have had an impact on the modern world and our community.
The school visits the village War Memorial on November 11th, joined by the local vicar. We lay wreaths we had made, gave thanks to the soldiers and pray for those at war today. We are often joined by members of the village.
Year 5 learn about the Anglo-Saxons, year 4, The Romans and year 3, early settlers in Britain and how they have influenced the Britain we live in today; from the names of Britain's towns and cities to the cultures and religious beliefs many people have.
In recent years, we celebrated the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, the marriage of Prince William to Kate, whose family is fairly local to us and also the birth of Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
For the past two years we have been invited by the Queen's Swan Upper to join him in Mapledurham as he and his crew count the local signets. This is a marvelous British spectacle and tradition. We hope to make it an annual event for our children to learn about the swans, the monarchy and British history.
