I've been around a lot of kids Bible study leaders over the years and have noticed that the really good ones seem to have similar habits and practices.
As a Sunday School teacher myself, I've found when I practice these six principles, things go a lot better for me and the kids.
Be smart about teaching. I often challenge teachers to be the teacher, not the facilitator. Anyone can facilitate, good learning happens when leaders know and understand the kids they're leading and choose to teach, not just "get through the day." Take the time to learn the general and specific characteristics of the kids you're teaching and then prepare your sessions accordingly.
Small group Bible study begins when the first child enters the room. You need to be there early and be ready for that first child. What happens in your classroom 15 minutes before the first child gets there sets the tone for the entire day. Be first, be early, and be ready!
Small group Bible study leaders only get around an hour each week to help boys and girls hear, understand, and connect biblical content. Be intentional in your teaching. While it's important to make it fun and engaging, be careful to intentionally make that fun foundational and evangelical. If you're leading an art activity, be intentional to reinforce the biblical content either directly or through guided conversation that helps kids connect. Again, be a teacher, not a facilitator.
If it's not working, do something different! Be okay with changing things up in mid-stream if that's what's best. You can dig in your heels, refuse to budge, and push through an ineffective activity, or you can just admit it's not working and try something that might. My experiences have taught me that "hot potato" memory verse works every time. So, that's my "back-up plan" should the prepared activity start to tank. Be the teacher!
It's true; kids don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. Build relationships with kids and their families. They'll remember that you loved them. Long after your students have promoted they'll continue to connect your love with His Love. Don't be a "clanging cymbal!" Show love, care, and compassion. Live out what you teach.
I'd love to hear what you think. Share your thoughts and other habits you've found helpful as you lead kids in your church!

How a computer bug is breeding prophecy, plans, and polemics in the church.
A year from now, on January 1, 2000, Thomas L. Clark plans to be somewhere other than in his Chicago home. A member of the Forest Preserve Bible Church, Clark is stocking up on food, has a hand mill for grinding grain into flour, and will decamp to the wilderness in advance of the first day of next year. That is when he, and many other Christians, believe a computer bug will trigger a major breakdown of our societal infrastructure.
Clark says he wants to be ready because he believes God does not want believers to commit "intentional suicide" should the worst occur. "I don't want to have my assets where they're unsheltered. I don't want to have 10 million people marauding through the city looking for food and angry because the government has deceived them."
About the potential computer crisis, Clark warns, "Every day I study to see if there's anything sufficient being done, and I've found nothing to convince me that we won't have one massive problem. This is going to rearrange my whole life."
It already has. Clark, a self-described "informed fundamentalist," runs a business called Y2K Prepare, and from its Internet Web site he sells food mills and offers tips on how to store food and water before the possible calamity. Sales are steady, he reports, and "there may be too great a demand to meet it all" by the end of the year. He claims one raw-grain firm is back ordered eight months on some products. On another Internet site, those convinced of a coming calamity can even buy a $7,000 survival dome.

An honest politician is what?
The famous quote "An honest politician is one who, when he is bought, will stay bought" has long been attributed to the American politician and businessman Simon Cameron (1799-1889).
Quotation experts like Ralph Keyes doubt that Cameron actually said it. But it has spawned many humorous counterquotes over the years.

First time trying yoogane! We went there during non-peak hour, around 2pm, after walking around deciding on what to eat.
The restaurant is set for a minimum of 2 people and we ordered Marinated Chicken Galbi Fried Rice.
With the rice and seasoning on a plate, so that the chef can come over to cook for you.
We had more kimchis and during our wait, they changed the pan for us again, as "it will be very difficult to cook"
However, despite the wait, we eventually have our food ready!

DESTRUCTION: First Trailer For 'Thrash Anthems II' Collection Of Re-Recorded Classics
German thrash metal veterans DESTRUCTION will release their new "best-of-old-school" album, "Thrash Anthems II", on November 10 via Nuclear Blast.
The first trailer for the disc can be seen below.
A decade ago, DESTRUCTION proved how successful re-recording some of their timeless classics and re-imagining history could be. The follow-up to 2007's "Thrash Anthems" is ready to rock the metal world and shows how fans can be part of both a band's history and future. For "Thrash Anthems II", DESTRUCTION called upon on their loyal fans through PledgeMusic to help them create the record and contribute to the band's epic history.
DESTRUCTION bassist/vocalist Schmier states: "As it is a part of our past to relaunch classic songs from our history with a fresh face and we had many demands on a 'Thrash Anthems' continuation, we decided to do a second part of this re-animation of classic '80s DESTRUCTION material.
"For us, it was important to choose the tracks with the fans and first when Nuclear Blast did not wanna do the album, we decided to do a pledge campaign to raise the fonds for the production together with the diehards.
"To make a long story short, we know not everybody will like these new versions of those thrash evergreens (just listen to the originals then) but it was an important task for us to keep them alive for a whole new generation of metalheads that love those fresh and brutal new recordings.
"We are very happy now that our label is finally releasing this collection of thrash classics. The vibe on this record is so vicious, non-commercial and has this '80s feeling with a even more aggressive edge, and that is was made our thrash so special, in the good old days and now!"
"Thrash Anthems II" track listing:
01. Confused Mind
02. Black Mass
03. Frontbeast
04. Dissatisfied Existence
05. United By Hatred
06. The Ritual
07. Black Death
08. The Antichrist
09. Confound Games
10. Ripping You Off Blind
11. Satan's Vengeance
12. Holiday in Cambodia (DEAD KENNEDYS cover) (bonus track)
This stunning artwork was created by acclaimed Hungarian artist Gyula Havancsak, who has also created artwork for ANNIHILATOR, GRAVE DIGGER, STRATOVARIUS, TANKARD and many more.

BBC Good Food Nation survey 2016: How we eat now
By Natalie Hardwick - Reviews editor - bbcgoodfood.com
Welcome to our third annual BBC Good Food Nation survey. We asked over 5,000 UK adults about their eating habits to build a fascinating picture of how the nation eats in 2016. Read on to discover key trends, our common passions, what's in and what's out...
Our annual BBC Good Food Nation survey always throws up surprising results and we've had another whirlwind 12 months. Our 2016 results highlighted big generational differences in habits, a decline of former favourite dishes and a rise in social media foodie-ism. We've picked our standout statistics, and included tips and resources if this inspires you to shake up your own food habits...
We're eating with our eyes… and our thumbs
The sight of beautiful plates of food across social media is a familiar one, and our survey reflected this: as many as 40% of millennials (21-34 year olds) have posted pictures of food that they've cooked, with 30% whipping out their camera when they're in a restaurant or café. What's more, almost one in five millennials have made a restaurant booking after seeing a picture on social media and nearly a third of them (32%) have been inspired to get cooking. On the other hand, fewer than one in ten people over 50 would take a photograph of their meal, but that's a reflection of the way we use social media; after all, at present 90% of Instagram users are under 35.

A nation of meat lovers
Our survey found that meat is still an important part of daily eating. The average person has just six meat-free days per month, and nearly half (49%) of participants stated that "a meal isn't a meal without meat." A similar percentage (52%) weren't aware of the Department of Health's guidelines for consumption of red meat (they recommend 70g per person per day – that's the equivalent of just one lamb chop.) Despite this, there's a growing awareness of the link between meat consumption, health and the quality of produce: our survey found that 78% of respondents want a good butcher back on their local high street.

Our new favourite foods
Government figures have shown declining consumption of white fish in Britain for more than forty years, but it's still a shock to see fish and chips completely absent from the top five meals in our survey. Chips just manage to sneak in there at number five (accompanied by steak) but pasta, pizza and curry have all leapfrogged the traditional Friday meal and lodged themselves firmly in our affections. Top of the heap, however, is another British classic, Sunday roast; 23% of respondents look forward to that meal more than any other.
Our five favourite foods:
1. Sunday roast
2. Curry
3. Pizza
4. Pasta
5. Steak & chips
No time for breakfast, no time for lunch – what are teenagers eating?
Pizza is what 16-20 year olds want to eat most of all. 23% of Generation Z-ers favour the reassuring warmth of this Italian titan, but this could partly be down to their takeaway proclivities: on average they eat fast food 4.5 times a week, with one in six doing so twice a day. Our survey paints an unhealthy overall picture; this age group is also the most likely to skip breakfast, while 29% also admit to skipping lunch on most days, if not all. But there's a glimmer of hope – teenagers are the most likely age group to be exercising regularly (86%).

Inspiration for the nation
Our survey results showed an increase in two things: our belief in our cooking skills and interest in cooking in general. There's been a 10% increase in the number of people who cook and prepare meals from scratch at least once a week, and there's now a majority (just over half) who would describe themselves as "good" cooks. So where does our cooking inspiration stem from? 62% of people claim to have learned their skills from their mum, 41% from books and just 15% from websites. 67% of people have used technology (laptops, tablets, mobiles) for guidance in the heat of the kitchen, with 37% of Generation Z (16-20) and 43% of millenials (21-34) having smartphones handy while standing at the stove.

Our survey shows an increase in the average amount that we spend on eating out in cafés and restaurants; last year it was £17.22 per household per week, but in 2016 that's up to £19.10. London's spend (£29.07) is 50% higher than the national average, while the Welsh spend the least (£14.87). 26% of respondents spend nothing at all on meals in restaurants or cafés. Similarly, around a quarter of people we surveyed spend nothing at lunchtime because they bring their lunch with them, and on average the nation eats a packed lunch three times a week.

What a difference a year makes: 2016 vs 2015 in brief
There's been a marked increase in healthy snacking on fresh fruit; only 20% would choose fruit last year, but that percentage has increased to 44%.
We're spending more on eating out, with our weekly spend up from £17.22 last year to £19.10 in 2016.
26% of us meet the World Health Organisation's recommended 5-a-day, up from 23% in 2015.
Takeaway spend is down year on year: just £9.97 this year, as opposed to £11.31 in 2015.
We care more about the quality of food we buy than we did 12 months ago; 66% cited it as a consideration, compared to 54% last year.
The average amount spent on weekly groceries has decreased from £57.30 in 2015 to £54.65 this year.
There's been a 10% increase in the number of people preparing meals from scratch at least once a week since 2005.
What do you think of our survey findings? Sound familiar? We'd love to hear how you compare.

I found your survery interesting. Reassuring, in a way, as I'm a fair match. Would be even more interesting to compare with 50 years ago, esp the role of men in the kitchen then, if any.

From this 5000 people what was their income, the size of their family etc? That makes a great difference to how we eat. This is not a survey with a lot of meaning.

Been reading Dean Baker's latest offering of poems of late, Dark Earth. Of course Dean is an author, composer, and performer who was born in Toronto, Canada, to a Ukrainian/Polish father and an Irish/Scottish mother. Attended the University of Guelph, and later won book awards from them, along with several unsolicited Ontario Arts Council awards, best poems published in a year in literary journals, and The T.S. Eliot Society of Miami's Calendar Poet award. He has several other works out: Baker's Bad Boys, Silence Louder Than A Train, The Mythologies Of Love, and The Lost Neighborhood, each of which can also be found on his http://www.amazon.com/Dean-J.-Baker/e/B00IC6PGQM page.
In Dean's Widows he challenges our sense of propriety, brings us two death's: the death of child, and the death of something else. Even the use of the plural – Widows, as if one may suspect some murderous collusion amongst "black widows"; or, rather the natural order of some dip into Shakespeare's widowed "witches" from Macbeth; or, more likely just three old mean women out of some southern gothic world who, as the interlocutor tells us – as if it were some dark and sinister story, to be hushed up in polite society – a memory of another child: "the unlovely child you always knew too much about". And, the interlocutor continues with a double refrain, one that tells us these dark widows are "carrying themselves" and "carrying themselves / with taunts of Spring". The interlocutor will not say what cannot be said, what it is that these widows have done, or what secrets they hold to their black hearts. But he knows, and for him there is a bittersweet revenge in knowing that what they are moving toward as "they drive" is a meeting with that "grinning, opened mouth" – a death at once comical and grotesque that will undo these murderous widows and their secrets in ways beyond telling.
What I admire is Dean's pulling out all the stops, no sublime romanticist here; no, instead he's taken notes from the underbelly of those masters of the macabre and grotesque. All those little oddball peculiarities of the absurd, bizarre, macabre, depraved, degenerate, perverse that are the hallmark of the best of that dark haunting literature, both humorous and earthy, grotesque – can be found here. As Philip Thomson tells us of the grotesque in literature and visual culture: he calls it 'the unresolved clash of incompatibles in work and response' and, he continues, 'it is significant that this clash is paralleled by the ambivalent nature of the abnormal as present in the grotesque'. I like to go back to Baudelaire who perfected this mode after his careful perusal and translations of that master, Edgar Allen Poe. For Baudelaire it was to know that one was dammed in this life from the beginning; but it wasn't a religious knowledge, no it was a secular knowing that this world, not some future abode of despair already harbored enough hate and crime to fill ten thousands hells. Maybe this is why even Sartre would seek in Baudelaire a brother of that darker existential pain that is existence with others, and go on to see "hell is other people".
That, my friends, in one succinct movement is the Grotesque Sublime: "the posthumous twitching / of cynics en masse". It is also the dark knowing of a grotesque humor named "Dean J. Baker". Rabelais and Hieronymus Bosch look out of dark chinks in these poems… instead of Emerson's "Whim" above Dean's lintel we might assume "Melancholy" resides here… that dark brooding that laughs below, and rises through the bones to jerk you awake from your too lazy sleep of existence.

.cz Domains Dispute & Policy
RESOLUTION OF DOMAIN NAME DISPUTES
The most recent source for this dispute policy can be found here at: Nic.cz.
DISPUTES BETWEEN CZ.NIC AND DOMAIN NAME HOLDERS Disputes between CZ.NIC and domain name holders, pertaining to domain names registered by the user are, based on the provisions of Article 15.1. of .cz Registration Rules resolved by the Arbitration Court of the Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture of the Czech Republic.
DISPUTES BETWEEN DOMAIN NAME HOLDERS AND THIRD PARTIES The Alternative Dispute Resolution Rules document contains provisions on resolving disputes over domain names and an institute of arbitration public offer, which should contribute to more timely resolution of domain name disputes for .CZ domains. Domain name holders are obliged to express qualified agreement with the valid version of Alternative Dispute Resolution Rules.
Provisions of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Rules state that a third party which thinks that their rights were injured by registration of a domain name may decide to resolve such dispute using a general jurisdiction court, or using the Arbitration Court of the Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture of the Czech Republic. Should such third person decide to use the Arbitration Court of the Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture of the Czech Republic, the domain name holder is obliged to comply with its ruling.
INTERPRETATION OF THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 16.4. OF THE CCTLD .CZ DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION RULES The following interpretation of the Registration Rules is intended as a description of CZ.NIC's approach to handling domain name disputes. The interpretation is based on the technical capabilities of the registration system and should be used as a source for formulating motions, by both plaintiff and judge. Handling of domain names subject to disputes is not limited to cases described here only and it is not impossible for the plaintiff or the judge to formulate a different motion. However, in such case it might be difficult to ensure implementation of the court's decision technically!
ACCEPTED DECISIONS Decisions by * general courts, * arbitration courts * and ad hoc arbitrators are used as basis for implementation of decisions regarding domain names.
The decision must be submitted to CZ.NIC as original or a notarised copy.
The decision must include a clause defining its legal force and enforceability (unless it is a preliminary ruling).
The decision by an ad hoc arbitrator
When a decision by an ad hoc arbitrator is being submitted, documents showing that both parties to the dispute agreed to use an ad hoc arbitrator must be included (declaration, arbitrator agreement, or arbitration clause).
IDENTIFICATION The decision must contain a clear identification of the domain name it pertains to, otherwise it will not be implemented. The decision must contain a clear identification of the domain name's holder.
CZ.NIC does not have to be a party to the proceedings issuing the decision. CZ.NIC will implement the required action even if it is not a defendant and court action was only taken against the domain name holder.
Should CZ.NIC be required by the decision to change a domain name's holder, the person who is the new holder must submit contact information for the registration process within 3 days of submission of the decision. In absence of such contact information, CZ.NIC generates a New Contact. CZ.NIC then informs the holder of the identification details of the holding subject.
ACTIONS This part describes most common decisions taken in domain name disputes, descriptions of actions CZ.NIC performs and a time period within which they can be performed.
Decision (with actions by CZ.NIC):
Refrain from using (operating) domain name: CZ.NIC cancels domain name delegation, that is deletes domain name details from the primary nameserver. However, this does not make the service the domain name pointed to (for example http, ftp, mail) inaccessible by other means (such as by using an IP address).
Refrain from transferring the domain name to a third party, with the exception of the plaintiff: CZ.NIC disables the possibility of changing the domain name holder. For transfer of domain name to the plaintiff, CZ.NIC enables the possibility only for the purpose of transfer to a clearly identified holder.
Transfer of domain name to certain person: CZ.NIC changes the domain name holder.
Refrain from publishing certain information using a domain name: Can not be ensured by CZ.NIC. CZ.NIC may only cancel the domain name's delegation and thus disabling its use for all purposes (for example mail). It is not possible to selectively specify which Internet services may be used for a certain domain name and which can not.
Remove Website associated to a domain name: Can not be ensured by CZ.NIC. CZ.NIC may only cancel the domain name's delegation and thus disabling its use for all purposes (for example mail). It is not possible to selectively specify which Internet services may be used for a certain domain name and which can not.
Prohibition of domain name cancellation: CZ.NIC disables the possibility to change any domain name information.
Suspending domain name registration: CZ.NIC disables the possibility to change any domain name information.
Refrain from establishing a right of lien or other right to the domain name: Can not be ensured by CZ.NIC. However, partially solved by actions 1) or 2).
Refrain from giving use of domain name to third parties: Can not be ensured by CZ.NIC apart from taking actions 1) or 2).
*Note: The effect of some actions may not be immediate. This especially applies to changes in nameservers, for which primary nameserver changes are only reflected at other nameservers with a delay which can not be influenced by CZ.NIC.*

Beyond all scandals
May 28, 2015 February 26, 2020 Till Eichler Opinion
Yesterday, Swiss police entered a luxury hotel in Zurich and arrested seven high functionaries of FIFA, among them two vice presidents of the organization, Jeffrey Webb and Eugenio Figueredo. The men are accused of corruption, and breach of trust.
On the same time Swiss authorities investigate against the FIFA itself under suspicion of money laundering and irregularities with regards to the placement of the World Cup in Russia and Qatar 2018 and 2022. This happened shortly before the planned beginning of the annual FIFA Congress, the highest decision-making organ of the organization, where all member associations are part of. A main point on the agenda of the Congress is the election of the organization's next president for the next four years. It is assumed to be guaranteed that the 79-years old Swiss, Sepp Blatter will be re-elected for his fifth term of presidency of the wold federation.
It is amazing how Blatter manages to remain the head of the organization now for sixteen years, full of incidents of corruption, fraud and other accusation against the FIFA itself or high officials within. Just the fact, that now, two vice presidents were arrested makes it very difficult to believe that Blatter had no idea about what is going on. How does the man manage to survive one scandal after another without being negatively affected although he is the head of the organization and therefore responsible for its actions and processes within it? We don't know which impact the arrestment of the officials this morning had and we don't know how it will affect Sepp Blatter. But as it seems right now, Sepp Blatter manages to survive this scandal, as the president, as all the others in the recent history of FIFA.
The election will take place tomorrow, if the Congress proceeds as planned. The 206 member national football associations form six federations which normally vote en bloc when it comes to decision about the future president. Every national association has one vote, non-regarding the size of the country or of the association. The DFB, the German Football Association which is the biggest in the FIFA has the same power than the Football Association of the Dominican Republic.
Blatter has understood the high importance of the smaller countries and secured a big supporter group in the CONCACAF, in which all associations from Central and North America and the Caribbean are part of and which has 41 votes in total. It is amazing what reputation Blatter has, especially in the Caribbean region. Recently the head of the Dominican football association said this about Blatter.
"He is like Nelson Mandela, Winston Churchill, like Abraham Lincoln or Mother Teresa, he is like Jesus for us. Sepp Blatter is a big leader"
Furthermore, the Asian confederation, AFC already stated earlier this day, that it will support a presidency of Blatter, non-regarding the newest scandals. They have 46 votes in total. When Blatter gets re-elected for a fifth time, there is little chance for clarification and change within the organization. It is simply unrealistic having in mind how the organization and especially its leader Blatter coped with accusation throughout the last decade.
FIFA and the image of the World Cup has suffered a lot throughout the last years. Be it because of unsustainable investment in South Africa 2010, the environmental damage and social turmoil in Brazil or the ridiculous decision to place the FIFA World Cup in the desert in Qatar with non-existent infrastructure and temperatures over 40° Celsius. Adding this to the constant line of accusation of corruption a lack of transparency, the FIFA is on the way to "kill the football" as it puts the UEFA this morning. Diego Maradona, famous Argentinian football legend has a similar opinion on the FIFA and its leader Blatter.
"Under Sepp Blatter, FIFA has become a disgrace and a painful embarrassment to those of us who care about football deeply"
But there is a small chance, real change within the FIFA could arise from the newest scandal. The European Confederation UEFA demanded this morning to postpone the presidential elections. UEFA wants to stop business as usual and this is the biggest hope for real improvements right now. The Europeans do not have enough votes (53) to unanimously blockade or stop the elections, but they can, and they must take a strong opposing stand. And if their demands remain unheard, ignored by the others, UEFA may take more drastic measures, maybe even a boycott of the Congress and the election. For now, it is in the hands of the six confederations to decide whether the FIFA will add another disgraceful corruption scandal on its list or whether enough is enough and it is time for a change.

The Global Arches business is a large global corporation that started off in America. Even with this large corporation starting in the U.S., it has branched out and is now a big part in the fast food industry around the world. When outsiders look at the American life, they see a very fast pace, overweight, and look for the easy way out and inexpensive ways. These are largely what the Golden Arches Corporation is all about. Many people see the expansion of this business as an expansion of the problems this country has. The culture around us is seen as to have a major connection with the Golden Arches Industry.
With the inspiration of America moving toward globalization, many counties feel as though they are losing out of their original culture. America is seen as pushing away the local cultures of these areas and making a new culture altogether that is created with mostly American ideals. The book states how this industry maintains a proper way of attendance at the restaurant (pay in advance, sit and eat, and leave). This way is almost to the point of trying to make other people into Americans and lead them into the same daily way of life (Page 27). Also, it is important to note that not only is the Golden Arches moving into these areas. However, many American companies are moving to these places to expand their empires. For example, Dunkin Doughnuts and Coca-Cola are all commonly seen businesses in Beijing and Seoul. These show how globalization has moved into these eastern Asian places. It is easy to see that the influences of globalization have moved the original cultures into the background and now a westernized global world is being brought forward.
...ion. The Golden Arches movement to eastern Asia has affected this shift greatly. Because The Golden Arches is such a large and successful company the influences on globalization are very prominent. The influences may take away some aspects of culture in certain areas but the truly important aspects will not be lost. If an aspect of culture is extremely important to a group of people they will not let the ways of another country influence them. Globalization is important to everyone because the more counties grow the more the globalized world will integrate into each person's life. The Golden Arches and Globalization are two concepts that have helped each other to thrive throughout the past two decades.

This page lists the song chart entries of Donny Osmond.A list of the hit albums by Donny Osmond is also available. The songs are listed with the most widely successful first.
I came across your site - very interesting - but wanted to point out an error on your entries for Donny Osmond. The single "C'mon Marianne" was a solo single by Donny and not a duo single with his sister Marie.
According to our source it was credited to Donny & Marie when it was released is New Zealand (which is the country where it was most successful). However it does get credited to Donny alone in the US and it was from a solo album, so we've changed the entry.


We utilised our furniture collection and hire assets to create a VIP area for Global at this year's Field Day Festival in Lambeth.
The main focus of the area was our large lightwood bar, which we paired with a feature wall to create functional service and back of house areas. The wall is perfect for attaching logos or slogans so is an easy way to brand this bar.
We created a branded entrance point to the VIP area by using our wooden truss arch and dressing it with ivy and flowers. The area was then separated from the rest of the event with our wooden fencing and rustic rope and post.
To complete the look and feel, we attached our festoon lighting and created a chill-out area with our rustic furniture collection which includes benches, coffee & poseur tables and tolix stools.
If you'd like more information on our hire catalogue call 01242 806 778.

Anger can be a healthy, constructive, and sometimes necessary emotional response. Emotions like anger or panic can be viewed as psychological "signal-cues" that function to support survival by prompting self-protective behavior. However, angry conduct can also be extremely maladaptive, counterproductive, excessive, destructive, and abusive. Pathological anger is characterized by an inability to maintain behavioral control or to moderate the impulse to act-out.
Unbridled anger, or rage, is frequently associated with hostile actions that prove ineffective in resolving conflict, inducing more frustration and ultimately resulting in harm. Such actions are frequently maladaptive because they serve to compromise personal and interpersonal functioning. Acting-out in rage can do irreparable damage to relationships, place lives and property in danger, and result in a host of unwanted outcomes. Too frequently, rage leads to unwanted outcomes, or even arrest and incarceration if domestic violence ensues. If this sounds all too familiar, you might consider some form of help with anger management. First and foremost this involves modifying your actions!
The human experience we call "anger," involves a complex psycho-physiological response that is accompanied by increases in heart rate and blood pressure that can become medically dangerous. Stress, frustration, and aggravation are natural responses to the complexities of living.
Emotional responses like this are largely involuntary (rather reflexive in nature) and can be as unwanted and alarming to the person feeling the response, as they are disturbing to those around them. Anger management counseling can help to moderate angry actions by modifying distress through the teaching of alternative coping skills. By learning to manage angry feelings, or to accept and tolerate our distress, we can come to master the links of the psychological chain that leads to angry acting out.
The first step to learning to manage angry feelings is often to come to recognize (philosophically) emotions as "signal-cues" that should function to guide adaptive choices and support functional goal-directed behaviors. Because the internal experience of anger is largely an involuntary response, one rooted in the body's biochemical response to stress, the angry person may not clearly recognize (with clarity and awareness) what is happening. Stress produces a whole of host of physiological responses (e.g. the hormonal release of adrenaline and noradrenalin) that are directly linked to primitive fight or flight responses.
Learning to manage angry behavior requires that we become willing to accept and tolerate the sensations associated with our emotions and that we allow the experience of psychological distress — without impulsively acting out. Cognitive therapy, behavioral rehearsal, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), role-playing, guided visualization, therapeutic metaphor, and various forms of insight meditation can all help to resolve problems associated with anger. Different techniques work for different people.
Dr. Hart will help you discover what works best for you. You can learn the skills necessary for vital living and adaptation in this frequently chaotic world. A provocative question: Just how aware are you of the associations between what you call your anger – and what you call your fear?
Often the best way to manage an intense emotion is to learn to regulate its behavioral expression. This DOES NOT mean totally withholding or containing our internal experience of anger or the blanket refusal to express this feeling at all. The suppression of anger and frustration seems ultimately to lead people to proverbially "blow their stack." Too frequently, emotional impulses are directed toward someone or something other than the real object of the anger. This type of counseling is an effective means to beginning the process of learning to communicate effectively and to negotiate our best interests without resorting to maladaptive rage.
A significant portion of this process is learning to effectively distinguish maladaptive aggressive behavior from functional self-assertiveness. We all know the saying, "You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar," but sometimes being overly nice can be just as non-productive as failing to let our feelings inform us. Sometimes the situation requires measured forcefulness and often people with anger issues are simply going too far with the expression of their emotions. Counseling can provide tools for enhanced awareness, recognition of the need for assertiveness, and for preventing aggressive impulses from mobilizing outright rage-driven destructive behavior.
Counseling for anger has everything to do with identifying and modifying problematic behavior. We learn to step out of the battle with our emotions, rather than get caught-up in a futile struggle with emotional control. The goal of good counseling is not to eliminate anger. Remember, anger can be both necessary and productive if expressed in an appropriate way. The goal of good counseling is to teach you awareness and self-regulation techniques so that rage does not drive inappropriate or abusive behavioral responses that can defeat your life and your relationships.
Not everybody who experiences rage has an unbridled tendency to act out in destructive ways. Frequently life finds us in distressing psycho-social contexts and the reality of unwanted circumstances can make even the most level-headed person feel trapped, powerless, frustrated — and furious. Anger management requires rehearsal to master acting-out behaviors.
If it seems that you are overwhelmed by anger and it is making life more difficult for you, or someone you love, therapy can help by providing change strategies and functional coping solutions. The experience of life frustrations and disturbing emotions does not have to define your behavior or derail the wellbeing of those around you. Effective cognitive behavioral solutions can be readily learned to resolve your problems.
Dr. Hart helps people come to grips with distressing emotions like anger, anxiety, and panic. Call to schedule a time to explore your options. Learn to recognize, channel, or diffuse these emotions before they estrange you from others — and hide the best in you!

Gold smuggling case: Lawyer surrenders before DRI in Kerala
KOCHI: A lawyer, who is a prime accused in a case related to smuggling of gold through Thiruvananthapuram International Airport, Friday surrendered before the officials of the Department of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) at its office.
Advocate M Biju surrendered at the DRI office in this city this morning. His arrest would be recorded after recording his statement, a DRI official said.
The lawyer had moved an anticipatory bail plea before the High Court.
When the bail plea was being considered by the High Court on Thursday, his counsel had informed that he would appear before the DRI officials on Friday morning.
A Customs Superintendent at Thiruvananthapuram International Airport had been arrested in the state capital for allegedly helping gold smugglers.
DRI investigators had arrested Radhakrishnan, suspecting that he had prior knowledge of an attempt by 2 people from Oman to smuggle in gold.
The 2, who arrived here from the gulf nation earlier this month, were nabbed for an attempt to smuggle in 25 kg gold worth over Rs 8 crore.
Early this week, the DRI had submitted in the Kerala High Court that smuggling of gold into the country was threatening its economic well-being.
According to the DRI, Biju was one of the masterminds of the smuggling operations.

La société Bombrini Parodi Delfino S.p.A. (BPD) aussi simplement appelée BPD, est une société italienne, créée en 1912 à Colleferro, au sud-est de Rome. L'entreprise a développé de nombreuses activités notamment la chimie puis s'est spécialisée dans le domaine spatial.

Histoire

La société a été créée en 1912 par deux ingénieurs italiens, anciens sénateurs du royaume d'Italie, Giovanni Bombrini et Leopoldo Parodi Delfino. Ils commencèrent par la production de poudre noire pour canons et fusils et d'explosifs.

Leur activité florissante assura le développement rapide de cette province essentiellement agricole avec un fort accroissement de la population.

Pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, la société diversifie sa production dans les engrais pour l'agriculture et le ciment avec la création de la société "Calce e Cementi di Segni". En 1938, alors que l'effort de guerre faisait travailler beaucoup d'ouvriers supplémentaires, une terrible explosion détruisit l'atelier des explosifs et fit 60 victimes.

Dès la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la société investit et se diversifie encore avec la création de divisions : mécanique, textile et chimie.

La société resta sous le contrôle de héritiers des fondateurs jusqu'en 1968, date à laquelle elle fut rachetée par SNIA S.p.A.. Pendant plusieurs années, à la suite de ce rachat, la division chimie du nouveau groupe sera appelée SNIA BPD.

L'activité missiles et spatiale
BPD a joué un rôle primordial dans le domaine des moteurs de fusées à combustible solide.

Sa première réalisation remonte à 1927 quand le Centre d'essais de la société met au point un lanceur expérimental à poudre chimique. Dès la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, plusieurs études aboutirent à la production de combustibles solides destinés à des utilisations militaires mais aussi civiles comme les premières fusées pour sondes atmosphériques lancées depuis la base de Salto di Quirra en Sardaigne.

La phase industrielle date de 1952 quand, sur commande du Ministère de la Défense et de l'Aéronautique militaire, elle conçut un combustible solide comprenant de la nitroglycérine et de la nitrocellulose), qui permit de construire les premiers missiles expérimentaux au niveau industriel.

Pour mener à bien ce projet, BPD SpA forma un GIE avec Finmeccanica et deux petites entreprises dont Sigme SpA pour répondre aux commandes des différents ministères des armées des différents pays européens intéressés par les moteurs de lanceurs et de missiles à combustible solide.

BPD SpA sera ensuite choisie par l'Aeronautica Militare pour développer un missile pour recherches météorologiques, le 160-70, en utilisant deux des systèmes de propulsion déjà expérimentés peu de temps auparavant. Grâce à son expérience, l'Italie put lancer avec succès une série de fusées entre 1961 et 1963.

En 1961, pour répondre aux commandes et un peu sous la pression du gouvernement italien, une fusion de plusieurs sociétés spécialisées fut opérée avec une intégration parfaite entre les sociétés privées et publiques comme Finmeccanica, Sispre filiale commune entre les groupes FIAT et IRI et BPD SpA pour former la SGMI - Società Generale Missilistica Italiana.

En 1966, les succès internationaux obtenus par la société dans le domaine des combustibles solides lui valurent une commande d'ELDO, la société qui deviendra plus tard l'Agence spatiale européenne (ESA) pour le développement et la production du moteur d'apogée du satellite de télécommunications ELDO-PAS. Cette expérience très positive procura à BPD une aura internationale bien méritée. Le groupe connu alors une très rapide croissance de sa division moteurs de fusées à combustible solide qui devint une référence mondiale.

En 1968, BPD SpA fut rachetée par le groupe SNIA Viscosa qui deviendra SNIA-BPD. La société obtiendra en 1975 une commande spéciale de l'ESA, la responsabilité de l'étude, du développement et de la fabrication des moteurs de séparation du lanceur européen Ariane. En 1984, elle obtient le contrat pour la réalisation des boosters d'Ariane 5. Les moteurs de décollage des fusées Ariane sont livrés, depuis plus de 30 ans, sur la base de Kourou en Guyane Française, par les sociétés filiales que sont Europropulsion et Regulus.

En 1980, le groupe Fiat rachète tout le groupe SNIA SpA à travers sa filiale Sicind SpA. Dix ans plus tard, Fiat transfère la branche spatiale regroupée sous la bannière BPD à sa filiale "Composants" Gilardini pour ensuite la regrouper en 1994 au sein de sa filiale Fiat Avio S.p.A..

Rhodri backs wings aid
RHODRI Morgan yesterday backed a bid by North Wales workers at Airbus for £379m in government launch aid for a new generation of aircraft wings.
The first minister is pressing industry minister Alan Johnson at Westminster to support the case for a loan to help fund the development.
The factory at Broughton, Flintshire, which already employs 6,000 staff, is eager to develop a new carbon technology for new A350 Airbus wings.
Mr Morgan told Vale of Clwyd AM Ann Jones: "It is as important as the digital switch-over in television, this is the carbon fibre switchover."
Ms Jones pressed the first minister at Question Time to help to secure the investment and future of jobs across North Wales.

(TSX-V: EQX, OTC: LWLCF) ("Equinox Gold" or the "Company") announces that Pacific Road Resources Funds ("Pacific Road") has provided notice to the Company of the exercise of its pre-existing non-dilution rights and will acquire an additional 21,000,000 Equinox Gold common shares for aggregate proceeds to the Company of C$19,215,000, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.

The Victorian artist and critic, John Ruskin spear-headed the creation of a purpose-built home for the Institute which was founded to support the well-being and education of the local copper mine-working community. The building was opened in 1878. Since 2011 Grizedale Arts has helped to rejunvenate and develop the Institute, working with volunteers from the village to create a multi-functional space that is home to over a dozen local interest groups. Takeshi Hayatsu Architects have recently worked with Grizedale Arts on small construction and design projects – including a bread oven and an information pavilion – to engage students and the local community.
In 2013, the Scottish Scenic Routes initiative, a three-year programme inspired by a similar idea in Norway, was inaugurated to boost Scottish tourism and local economies, and to encourage a closer look at the landscape. The Lookout is an exemplar from the project – a small, mirrored structure with seating, aiming to achieve a place for engagement, contemplation and a sensory filled response to the landscape.
Making it Happen: New Community Architecture is curated by Pete Collard, curator at RIBA. A series of public events including workshops for families and children and adult lectures will support this programme celebrating the themes and works within the exhibition.
The latest RIBA survey of architects indicates a considerable fall in optimism about their future workload (RIBA Future Trends Survey December 2018 – Workload Index fell significantly to +3, from +10 in November).
Practices in Wales and the West of England were most pessimistic about their workloads (returning a balance figure of -10), while London (at +1) and the South of England (at +8) remained cautious about their medium-term prospects. The most significant fall was reported by firms based in the Midlands and East Anglia, with workload predictions tumbling to zero from +12 in November.
The North of England continues to remain the most optimistic area (returning a balance figure of +15), however the region is less positive than it has been in recent months.
Large practices (with 51+ staff) remain most positive about their future workloads, returning a balance figure of +60 in December 2018. Medium-sized practices (with 11 – 50 staff) returned a more modest result of +14, while smaller practices (with 1 – 10 staff) appeared considerably more nervous, returning a balance figure of just +1.
Forecasted workloads in the private housing fell dramatically in December (down to zero from +8 in November); the commercial sector also saw a decline, falling to a balance figure of -2 from zero. The public sector workload forecast fell to -5 (from 0) and the community sector fell to -3 (from +3).
The RIBA Future Trends Staffing Index fell again to +1 in December from +4 in November, suggesting a weakening in the employment market for salaried architects.
The staffing forecast for large practices (with 51+ staff) remained strong at +40, though down on recent highs. Medium-sized practices (with 11 – 50 staff) returned a balance figure of +14 but small practices (with 1 – 10 staff) moved into negative territory for the first time since April 2018, returning a figure of -1 and providing further evidence of increasing nervousness in the small practice sector.
"Our latest survey results continue to paint a mixed picture: while some practices (generally larger ones) report a steady pipeline of commissions, others (predominantly smaller ones) report difficulties as investors and developers continue to halt decision-making due to uncertainty.

Pioneering Rock And Roll Drummer Ginger Baker Dead At 80
Oct 6, 2019 @ 8:11am
British rock and roll pioneer Ginger Baker is dead. A post on the drummer's Facebook page says he "passed away peacefully" this morning. The South Londoner born in 1939 started playing the drums and working in jazz and blues style bands in the 1950s. He was a founding member in 1966 with Eric Clapton of Cream in the early days of psychedelic rock and roll. He later worked with Clapton and Steve Winwood in Blind Faith and would form Ginger Baker's Air Force with Winwood.
He was as well known for his explosive temperament as he was for his percussive vision and expertise. He lived in several countries throughout his career including the United States and in Nigeria where he recorded with Nigerian artist Fela Kuti. Baker was also an accomplished polo sportsman. He struggled off and on throughout the years with heroin addiction. Ginger Baker died at age 80.

Improved diagnostics for helminth NTDs
DOLF researchers are not only performing clinical trials, large community trials and other epidemiological and intervention studies on helminths in the field they run also state of the art molecular helminthology laboratories and have access to core facilities for genome sequencing, proteomics and molecular imaging. Within the DOLF project, the team identified problems of currently used diagnostic tools and performed various studies to help to develop, evaluate and improve diagnostic methods for helminth parasites. The studies include:
Improved detection of circulating Wuchereria bancrofti antigen using filariasis tests strips (Weil et al. 2013, Yahathugoda et al. 2015, Chesnais et al. 2017).
Quantification of circulating filarial antigen in the field (Chesnais et al. 2013, Chesnais et al. 2016).
Cross-reactivity of Loa loa antigens with tests to detect circulating filarial antigen (Bakajika et al. 2014, Hertz et al. 2018)

"What…is it?" Sagnessagiel turned the object over in his hands, completely baffled. While he didn't want to sound ungrateful, when Captain Iaoth had mentioned new weapons, he had envisioned a new sort of sword. This stubby tube with a handle had neither point nor edge. How could it be a weapon?
"This isn't a time for jokes, guardian." The trainer frowned, stern and forbidding, her huge silver wings marking her as one of the older martial angels, a veteran of the first rebellion.
Sagnessagiel shook his head. "Forgive me. I truly don't know."
She stared at him long and hard until he squirmed. He had just come to the conclusion that he should probably drop to his knees and beg forgiveness for his stupidity, when she let out a breath through her teeth.
He answered without raising his head. "Yes, sergeant."
"I understand you're a bit sheltered there but you never took the time to look down into the human world?"
That puzzled him even more. "No, sergeant. It wasn't…I wasn't…is that something I should have done?"
"You…" She stopped glaring and patted his shoulder. "You're a good, obedient guardian, Sagnessagiel. Let's leave it at that. It's a gun. A projectile weapon like a bow, but more powerful."
"Ah," he said, as if he understood. He didn't.
She held her palm up, twitched fingers inward to request the weapon and Sagnessagiel handed it to her, more than willing. "It's a plasma cannon, handheld, rapid fire."
She held the stocky part below the tube in both hands, pointed the end of the tube toward the dark cloud target and…did something. A blinding ball of light shot from the tube and struck the target where it was absorbed and the glow dissipated in little forks of lightning.
"Oh. And it…?" He let the question hang, unable to complete it.
"It kills, guardian. Specifically attuned to demons. You aim center mass. Head or heart. Nothing else will kill them."
Sagnessagiel nodded, though the words simply rattled around in his head, refusing to settle. Killing demons. They were evil. Made of it, spawned from it. They lived for it. And yet, a life was a life. Could he do that? Take up a life in his hands and crush it? End it?
He supposed he would do as he must, as he was ordered. The legions would never use him in a way that he was ill suited. Guardian. He would keep his comrades, his shipmates safe. Defend them. That's why he was here, and if he had to kill a demon to do that…well, no sense getting ahead of things.
"Please show me," he finally said as he straightened his wings and steeled his resolve.
She gave him a nod, obvious approval, and did just that. One hand here, the other there, how to stand, how to aim, how to compensate for the kick that came not from the ball of ionized gas but from the firing mechanism. Plasma, projectile, sidearms and rifles, laser knives and bolas, long-range and close fighting, she showed him everything.
Much to his, and most likely his instructor's astonishment, Ness found that he was not only a fast learner, but that he was good. Frighteningly good. It stirred something deep within him, something hot and fierce, that he tucked away as quickly as he became aware of it. He was no killer, after all. He would simply be a guardian on a spaceship.
Surely, it would be more challenging than guarding a hallway.

Q: Time series not working using by = argument in seq() function I am working through Time series analysis for the state/space model. In this book the author provides the following code
seq(from = as.Date("2001-01-01"),
    to = as.Date("2000-01-31"),
    by = "day")

Which generates the output
#  [1] "2001-01-01" "2000-12-20" "2000-12-08" "2000-11-27" "2000-11-15"
#  [6] "2000-11-04" "2000-10-23" "2000-10-11" "2000-09-30" "2000-09-18"
# [11] "2000-09-07" "2000-08-26" "2000-08-14" "2000-08-03" "2000-07-22"
# [16] "2000-07-11" "2000-06-29" "2000-06-18" "2000-06-06" "2000-05-25"
# [21] "2000-05-14" "2000-05-02" "2000-04-21" "2000-04-09" "2000-03-28"
# [26] "2000-03-17" "2000-03-05" "2000-02-23" "2000-02-11" "2000-01-31"

However when I run it I get the error
Error in seq.int(0, to0 - from, by) : wrong sign in 'by' argument

I can generate the output using the 'length.out' argument instead of 'by'
seq(from = as.Date("2001-01-01"),
    to = as.Date("2000-01-31"),
    length.out = 30)

However I am wondering why the by = "day" argument works for the author but not for me. Has the seq() function changed?

A: There is a typo in the code i.e. the from is greater than the to
seq(from = as.Date("2001-01-01"), to = as.Date("2000-01-31"), by = "day")
                       ^

It should be either
seq(from = as.Date("2000-01-01"), to = as.Date("2000-01-31"), by = "day")

Or specify the by as negative
seq(from = as.Date("2001-01-01"), to = as.Date("2000-01-31"), by = "-1 day")

There is a stop check in the seq.default source code
...
  if (n < 0L)
                stop("wrong sign in 'by' argument")

Writer Lee Israel was a master when it came to finding the voices of others, evidenced through both her best-selling biographies and in her notorious foray into forgery. In Can You Ever Forgive Me?, a biographical drama charting her criminal years, the literary figure finally meets her cinematic match. Heralding the long overdue arrival of a character worthy of Melissa McCarthy, Marielle Heller's film is wit personified.
After her career winds up on the rocks along with her whisky, Lee's agent offers her an ultimatum: cosy up to the publishing world or find another way of making money. But when she bumps into old acquaintance Jack (Richard E Grant), an eccentric street grifter, Lee realises there is a way she might work beneath the law, using her talents to falsify the personal correspondence of revered authors. However. the washed-up writer is playing a dangerous game, and as she drinks and deals her way down into the murky depths of deception, she becomes more isolated than ever.
McCarthy carves such complexity out of the protagonist that one feels she could craft an entire biography of her own. The picture she paints is not conventionally palatable: rude and unruly, Lee has no social skills whatsoever. But there is a rebellious spark that instantly draws us in, allowing her to rise up out of the pretension of her peers. She is the antihero, a familiar victim of inevitable obscurity and self-inflicted seclusion. And she might have sunk to the bottom of her glass, were it not for the incomparable Jack. Richard E Grant is a never-ending source of cinematic treasures, and this film allows him to shine as bright as ever. His performance exudes audacious energy and a delicious confidence that endear us to him from the first second of screen time. But for all Jack's showy exterior, he clearly needs companionship as much as his partner in crime. A couple of misfits with explosive chemistry, McCarthy and Grant make an incomparable pair.
The allure of the picture is also a product of the intricate and intelligent screenplay, which makes a compelling commentary on the idea of fame. Nicole Holofcener and Jeff Whitty have constructed a world where staying relevant requires a person to sell their persona, not their skills. A world in which it's easier to become infamous than it is to be famous. In other words, the real world. In such a landscape, a woman who might seem cold and uncaring – and who, in many ways, is – represents a candid breath of fresh air.
The sparkling humour of the script sits in perfect contrast with the artfully sordid visuals. Dishes litter a dirty, dark and dreary flat. An old cat in an otherwise empty apartment brings a tired cliché to life with tragic definition. Flies die fitfully on the pillows; there is no comfort to be found here. Desperate times call for desperate measures, but a crisply printed question cuts through and confronts the audience: Can you forgive me?
Can You Ever Forgive Me? is released nationwide on 1st February 2019.
