The University of Nigeria, Nsukka, is planning a week-long ceremony to honour its pioneer graduates (1963 class) as part of the activities to mark the 2013 Founder's day of the Institution which is expected to run from October 1-7, 2013.
It will be recalled that the doors of the University were opened to 220 students in 1960, while 150 of them graduated in 1963.
Inaugurating the Committee on 50th anniversary of 1st graduates of the University of Nigeria, on Monday, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof Bartho Okolo said that it was a thing of honour for the University to have produced its first graduates three years after it was established in 1960 and would therefore be pleased to honour its pioneer graduates who started its journey to restoring the dignity of man.
"I hereby inaugurate you for the job of organising the 50th anniversary of the first graduates of the University of Nigeria; I hope you will do this with your very best. We all know your antecedents as men and women of character and purpose, and we are very optimistic that you will do the job very well, congratulations", he said.
Prof Okolo assured the committee of the support of the University administration to ensure the success of the event and make it memorable.
Responding, Chairman of the Committee, Dr Okey Ewurum said that it was important to recognise the pioneer graduates of the Institution because they believed in the future of the University when other people were not confident of its survival.
"It was called a glorified secondary school because people thought it would collapse, so if the university survived, it was because of that first class who believed in its future", he said.
Dr Ewurum, who was the President, National Alumni Association of the University of Nigeria, from 2001-2005, added that the uniqueness of the pioneer set was evident in their active involvement in the affairs of the University as four of them had served as national Alumni Presidents out of the total of 10 presidents so far recorded by the alumni Association.
He therefore pledged the willingness of his committee to work towards the success of the event and thanked the University administration for finding him and members of his committee worthy for the job.
Other members of the committee are: Prof. Obioma Njoku, who will serve as the secretary, Chief Dr Grace Ukeje, Chief Bar. Andrew Oru, Emeka Anuforo, Prof. Anene Moneke, Prof. Peter Onwualu and Prof. Nkeadi Onyegegbu.

All-Star Sports eBusiness Division's Decision Making Process
The modern business environment is quite complicated for successful performance. The global business world is living in the conditions of financial crisis and its consequences. The following consequences of the global financial crisis may be pointed out: problems in a financial system, decline of sufficient demand, difficulties in governmental finances and unemployment, etc. Respectively, it is quite difficult to make effective business decisions in such conditions. The role of decision making process has grown significantly nowadays. The main features of decision making process in All-Star Sports eBusiness Division is going to be considered in this research paper.
It is really important to make effective and right decisions in the modern business world. However, the process of making these decisions are also essential. For instance, every decision should be made on time. Time is one of the most valuable factors of production nowadays. Making decisions faster than competitors can bring significant competitive advantages and, respectively, additional financial resources. Also, the decision making process may affect its efficiency. For example, making a decision in a hurry may significantly decrease its efficiency.
Every company faces typical challenges in the process of making a decision. One of typical questions is whether a decision should be made by a one top-manager or by the whole team of employees. This question was among central questions in a research of a consultant firm for the company under consideration. The company was provided with three alternatives of a decision making process. Generally, these alternatives are the following. First of all, the whole team (all employees) can take part in a decision making process. The second alternative is to form a small team of managers that will be responsible for business decisions. Finally, the last alternative is to improve the existing decision making process, where decisions are made on the different levels of organizational structure of the company according to their responsibilities. In order to understand which alternative is the best for the company under consideration it is important to know its history and background, which is provided below.
Background information about the company
The company was created in 1998, when the first high-volume discount sporting goods store was opened by the founder of the company. The idea was really successful for those times. The company's performance was really profitable for the first years of its existence. It had more than 500 retail stores in the United States of America and even abroad. Also, the company has understood that online direction of the business can be really successful (Garvin).
Internet and high technologies have become an integral part of a human's daily life. People desire to buy products via Internet in order to save significant amount of time and money. There is no need to go to a store to buy a particular product if it is possible to buy it via internet. Online business can bring significant benefits for business too. For instance, they do not need to have stores and pay personnel for work. Everything can be done via Internet. As a result, it is possible to save a lot of money. In the end, the company's online direction has become one of the most important for the company.
Decision making process in the company
Nowadays the most important question for the company is how to build an effective decisions making process. In order to build an effective decision making process it is important to understand the factors that affect it. Generally, such factors can be divided into two groups – objective and subjective factors. Objective factors refer to external factors that cannot be controlled by the company. Such factors are overall economic situation, political situation, the degree of social and technological development and, finally, overall performance of the company. For example, successful performance of the company makes decision making process easier. People are more relaxed and have more time in such situation. On the other hand, successful business performance puts forward new requirements to decision makers. These decisions should not spoil the general successful way. In turn, negative performance of the company requires new decisions, innovations that are going to improve it.
The other group of factors that affect decision making process is subjective factors. They are related to a human factor and depend on qualifications and features of a person that makes decisions. In any case a decision is made by a person. This person is characterized with specific character, temperament and other features. Finally, even a person life of a manager may affect his/her business decisions. That is why it is very important to account such factors as personal features of a decision maker in the process of business.
The main personalized features that may affect decision making process are the following: ethical problems, happiness and overconfidence. Business ethics is in general a very complicated problem. Sometimes there may be a choice between success of a company and right ethical decision. A good manager and decision-maker should always follow legal and ethical requirements. The most effective decision is that brings the company to the highest success in ethical borders.
Overconfidence of a decision-maker can be a significant problem for a company. People may underestimate a situation and make a wrong decision. Such problem is especially important in the modern conditions of the global financial crisis and its consequences. A good decision-maker always weights up all pros and cons and makes an adequate decision. Russo in his article Managing Overconfidence shows real examples when overconfidence of managers have led to financial losses for companies. He believes that overconfidence can be managed, in particular, via implementation strict requirements to decisions and decision making process in general. The company under consideration must implement such rules in order to increase quality of decisions.
Finally happiness is an overall category that defines the degree of employees' satisfaction with their job. People should be happy while working for a company. Then they will make the most effective decisions, since they will associate their personal success with success of the company. There are a lot of instruments to stimulate the degree of happiness of employees. Among them financial and social bonuses can be mentioned. Izzo in the article What Salary Buys Happiness in Your City? States that high salary is not the only stimulus for employees. It is important to propose also social bonuses. On the other hand, it is essential to choose reasonable bonuses. It is a well-known fact that managers of financial companies, seeking for bonuses, had made wrong decisions and led to the global financial crisis.
It is believed that such process as decision making can be built only when a defined strategy of the company is developed and the process of strategic planning is established. In general, there are a lot of opinions about the definition of the term "strategy". The most optimal is the approach that defines the strategy as a process of defining business mission, business goals, segmentation of the markets and positioning of the company, and also the way to achieve these goals. Shortly speaking, it is a vision of a company in business world. It can be applied to the general vision of a company and also to some particular projects.
A vision should explain exactly what the company's origins are, what the company is now and where the company wants to be in the future. If it is applied to some particular projects the strategy should answer what the results of these projects are going to be and what benefits for a company from realization of this project.
The major assumption in strategic planning is that any organization must be flexible to a changing environment. Thus, the emphasis in strategic planning is on understanding how the business circumstances are changing. Strategic planning has to provide an effective mechanism of adjustment of the organization to these changes. Also strategic planning is not limited by time. It can be short term or long term. The main feature of strategic planning is the changes it brings.
The strategic planning process has some standardized form in any organization. There are always some standardized procedures of making decisions in the strategic planning and people responsible for these decisions. The central element of the strategic planning process is strategic thinking. On the one hand, it is a process of planning, calculating and maneuvering to the stated goals, using some special techniques and methods. On the other hand, it is a special ability of a person to look on the situation globally, to see long-term goals, trends and the most effective way to achieve them. Not everyone has such abilities and, as a result, not everyone is able to think strategically.
Such processes as planning, modeling and calculating make the strategic planning more distinct and, as a result, effective. They help to build a clear way from the current position of a company to the stated goals. Different techniques and standardized methods can be used in the process of calculating and planning.
Impact of the global financial crisis on decision making process
Also it is very important to mention in this research paper about the impact of the global financial crisis on the process of strategic planning of the companies. Because the global financial crisis has put forward new challenges for the majority of the companies. In fact, in the modern circumstances it is almost impossible to use traditional techniques and methods of the strategic planning. Because the situation is changing constantly and it is almost impossible to see some trends and predict the situation. However, on the other hand, the role of a good competitive strategy has even increased in such circumstances. Because it can help a company to avoid different troubles and realize its competitive advantages despite the challenges.
The successful development of any company is impossible without strategic planning, without clear defining of a company's vision. That is why the strategic planning just has to be used today, but some special considerations should be taken into account by the companies' managers in the process of the strategic planning.
First of all, nowadays companies are forced to take into account a larger amount of variables and factors that determine the success of business. The success of any business process is determined by a large amount of factors nowadays. They include situation on financial markets, consumers' behavior, economic situation in some particular countries etc. In order not to fail a company's managers must measure and take into account the whole range of these factors.
Second of all, it is important to predict different scenarios of some particular situation. That means that a company's managers in the process of strategic planning have to develop a few scenarios of the possible performance. At least, those are optimistic and pessimistic scenarios. Respectively, different strategies and decisions should be implemented according to different scenarios.
Therefore, the processes of strategic planning has become more complicated in the recent years because of the global economic crisis. And somebody may think that it is impossible to use strategic planning in the given circumstances.
Conclusions and recommendations
In conclusion, the company under consideration is characterized with effective strategic planning. As a result, the decision making process is also effective, since it has correct orienteers. The external objective factors are also supportive for the company. Talking about subjective factors, it is important to mention that the company has professional managers. All of them are not vulnerable to personal influence in the process of decision making. However, a human factors and possibility of a mistake is still present. That is why the best decision for the company will be a group method of making decisions. Possibility of a mistake is going to be minimized in such case.
Generally, the company's organizational structure should be improved. A new structure must account constant growth of the company and development of online segment of the business. Effective organizational structure that will met requirements of a new business world will minimize human factor and possibility of a mistake in decision making process.

Blair's beat
Ex-Chicagoan has his own way of playing the standards
Michael Nejman
When Elvis Costello takes the stage Sunday at Alpine Valley, right behind him will be former Chicagoan, Michael Blair.
Blair recently was featured in Musician and Modern Drummer magazines for his percussion skills which are non-traditional if not eccentric. So while Costello sings and strums his guitar, don't be surprised when Blair starts banging on '62 Olds 88 hubcap ("Enough dogs had chased it so it has its own little charm"), whacking a Chinese opera gong to make it yelp like "Martian-dog bark," or playing "whiplash and anvil."
This drumming without boundaries approach is all part of Blair's philosophy of music.
"I don't believe in forcing a song to fit a certain structure," he explained. "I like to bring something new to what a song can be. I like the process of decomposition."
Decomposition?
"In a way, it's a euphemism for unbridled improvisation," Blair said. "For instance you take a basic song that sounds like lot of other songs, and maybe you start switching sections around. You start playing parts backward and forward, and you experiment with non-traditional instrumentation.
It's an exciting approach to music that Blair has endorsed since his school days at the University of Illinois in Champaign, where he enrolled in the master's program in percussion performance.
I could go from playing in the opera to doing an avant-garde chamber concert to playing in modern-dance concert to conducting the percussion ensemble to playing in rock band at fraternity -- and I wanted to do all of that," Blair said.
He was plucked from Champaign to tour with the Paul Winter Consort in the spring of '77 for about year. Then it was on to New York to teach master's classes in percussion, play the club scene and, like most struggling artists, work for a catering company.
"I would cut my hair, get in my tuxedo and serve important people," he said. "The coolest thing I did was work as the bartender for Madonna's bridal shower."
In 1985, Tom Waits discovered Blair's talent for making strange noises and called him to work on the Rain Dogs album.
Then he brought Blair to Chicago in the spring of '86 to work with him on Frank's Wild Years, a play produced in cooperation with the Steppenwolf Theatre and directed by Gary Sinise. Between working on the theatrical production and later recording an album of the same name in Chicago's Universal Studios, Blair lived in the Rogers Park area.
"After nine years of living in Manhattan," he said, "it was refreshing to have a friendlier, quieter and safer setting to live in."
But as his career began to bloom and commuting to Los Angeles and New York became a constant necessity, Blair re returned to New York 18 months later.
Although he couldn't live in the city of his choice, he began to play with the artists he admired.
"I always like the way Elvis [Costello] wrote," he said. "Elvis is a big Waits fan, so during our European tour in '85, Elvis came to London and Paris to see the show, hang out and be sociable."
It was at the last show of the Waits tour, in Los Angeles, when Costello and producer T- Bone Burnett approached Blair to play the marimba on "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" on the King of America album. Blair played on the songs and then returned to work with Waits on Frank's Wild Years.
Several months later Costello came to Chicago when he accompanied his wife Cait O'Riordan during her tour with the Pogues. Inevitably they all went to see Waits in Frank's Wild Years.
"Tom, Elvis, the Pogues, everyone ended up at Holstein's on Lincoln Avenue that night," Blair said. "Elvis and Tom performed together and then we all got rip-roaring drunk and watched the sun rise."
Shortly after that night, Costello asked Blair to tour with his band, the Confederates, during 1986. He then solicited Blair to work on Spike, the critically acclaimed album Costello released earlier this year.
Costello "wanted me to work on Spike right from the beginning; to work on the arrangements and become part of the core group, to which other people would be added," Blair said. "Actually, Elvis, T-Bone and I made up that core."
Blair also has recently been involved in several other albums, many of which will be released in the next few months, including projects by Ireland's Gavin Friday and poet Allen Ginsberg.
But Blair ultimately wants to release his own record.
Producer "Hal Willner and I have already started to plan a record," Blair said. "It'll be my own version of deconstructing pop songs."

One organization which has done outstanding service within the church was the Ladies Aid or as it is known in Swedish, "Kvinno-förening". When the congregation was organized in 1908, the ladies organized the same year to shoulder their share of the endeavour to establish a church. Throughout the years, they have contributed thousands of dollars in financial aid to the church to help with the building, furnishings, and maintenance. The spinning party and quilting bee was a great event, when the ladies of the community would gather to card wool for making quilts and spinning the wool into yarn with their home-made spinning wheels. Then throughout the year the ladies would knit socks and mittens, and embroider all sorts of fancy goods in their spare time. These goods were then sold by auction. By this means they were able to raise enough money to help the congregation and still carry on their own work. Without help from the ladies, the church might often have found itself in serious financial difficulties. One item of interest is that a man, John Person, served as President for a number of years, indeed which no doubt reflects the high esteem in which he was held by the ladies of the church. The Ladies Aid was organized on August 30, 1908. Mrs. Inga Lunde was elected president and treasurer and Mrs. Petter Selin as secretary.
The Women's Missionary Society was organized on June 24, 1914, with Mrs. Jonas Anderson elected as president and Mrs. Elias Anderson as secretary. A mission festival was held once a year in order to raise money for Aid to Missions at home and abroad. On December 12, 1952, the Ladies Aid and the Women's Missionary Society formed one unified society known as the Ladies Guild. In 1961, the name was again changed to Lutheran Church Women. All societies folded in 1965 when the congregation disbanded. After the congregation reorganized, the ladies society also reorganized and are now known as the Wilhelmina Willing Workers. We extend a special acknowledgement of praise to the members of these societies, and the Luther League, who have so faithfully stood by the congregation whenever a need existed, since the formation of the Wilhelmina church. The Willing Workers continue to provide lunches for funerals, bring dishes for potluck lunches which are held regularly throughout the year and are involved with fundraising (usually in the form of bake sales and serving at auctions). Since 2004, we have also been involved with Neighbour Aid – a Camrose organization that runs the Food Bank and a soup kitchen called "Martha's Table".
Organ purchased with money raised by Små Flickornas Syförening in 1914
Små Flickornas Syförening was organized on March 2, 1911, under the leadership of Mrs. Inga Lunde, with Hanny Hanson as treasurer. This group was active until shortly after the Luther League was organized in 1915 with Pastor Heiner as president, Axel Selin vice-president, Gerda Hanson secretary, and Magnus Johnson treasurer. Over the years this society was very active. Regular monthly meetings were held which consisted of the business agenda and an excellent program. Several different socials were held each year. Exchange programs with other churches were a highlight of fellowship, and so were the Alberta District Luther League Conventions. Wilhelmina hosted the convention in 1932, 1941, and 1947. This was an all day affair for all week which required a great deal of expense and long hours of work and preparation to accommodate the guests. The Swedish language was used in the secretarial records until the end of 1933, when it was changed over to English. The Wilhelmina Luther League dissolved in 1965 when the congregation disbanded and has not reorganized since.
Sunday School commenced in 1909 with a class of ten children under the leadership of Mrs. Inga Lunde, who was a faithful and zealous worker within the church and community. More pupils were attending as the years went by. Probably the largest attendance was during 1929 and 1930 with an enrolment of forty to forty-five pupils and five to six teachers, including Pastor Eklund as superintendent and Mrs. Clara Vikner, a qualified teacher of the Swedish language, as vice-superintendent. The Christmas concert was presented by the Sunday school children to the enjoyment of the children and audience until 1997, when a congregational "Family Christmas" program was adopted in which all members of the congregation are encouraged to participate. Summer Vacation Bible School was also held at various times. In the summers of 1929 and 1930, Miss Edna Johnson, Conference missionary, was invited and taught for three weeks at the Brandland School and two weeks at the Miquelon School. In 1997, after many years of low enrolment, the Sunday School was discontinued. In 2006 a worship program for children and their families was re-instated and has received favourable response from the attendees. Schooner, our toucan puppet, was an instant success with the kids and we've had the blessing of a great team of young men helping (most of whom have been confirmed at Wilhelmina in the past eight years). The bible story skits are acted out by our volunteers each week and the program concludes with a craft that ties into the day's lesson. For 2007/08 our theme was "Take Two Tablets and Call Moses!".
Sunday School Christmas Play in the early 1990s
Following are those who have served in the position of Sunday School superintendent: Inga Lunde, Harold Person, Magnus Johnson, Axel Lindgren, Hanny Hanson, Jenny Selin, Axel Selin, Paulus Mattson, Agatha Nordfeldt, Pastor Eklund, Clara Vikner, John Person, Kristina Anderson, Blanche Hanson, Nannie Swanlund, Anita Johnson, Seena Swanlund, Alver Person, Angeline Nordin, Carol Johnson, Anna Lofgren, Evelyn Pearson, Ted and Margaret Matson, and Jean Matson. Also a note of recognition to all who have served as assistant teachers.
The Junior Mission Society was also organized by Miss Edna Johnson on July 15, 1930, with the following officers elected: President – Hennie Johnson, Vice President – Sylvia Nordin, Secretary – Judith Person, Treasurer – Elias Vikner. Mrs. Knut Nordfeldt and her daughter, Blanche Hanson, served as leaders. Miss Hanson was also the Canada Conference President of the Junior Mission Society. A Church Choir was organized in 1915, under the leadership of Pastor and Mrs. Leonard Heiner who gave their best performances at the Luther League meetings and church festivals. After the untimely death of Pastor Heiner in 1918, the choir continued for a while under the leadership of Mr. Barne Welda. In 1931, Mrs. Ole Olson (Annie Erickson) had within a short time assembled a choir that, under her training, developed into a very fine group of singers. Mrs. Olson had a manner and personality that endeared her to all who knew her, and the young people who worked with her always gave their best at practice sessions and performances. This choir carried on most successfully until her death on April 6, 1941. The piano was purchased with funds saved by the choir and was since dedicated to the Glory of God in memory of Mrs. Olson. Due to the constant temperature fluctuations in the building, however, the piano eventually had to be replaced. Special thanks go to Richard and Evelyn Pearson, who donated their piano to the congregation in memory of their daughter, Diane, when they chose to leave the farm and move into Camrose. Although, we have not had a formal choir in the past 25 years we have often met together to raise our voice in praise to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In the 1990s the choir practiced and performed several Christmas and Easter cantatas and we continue to participate in the Scandia Lutheran Church (Armena), "Prelude to Christmas" program most years.
The congregation, as a whole, has also been involved in running auction sale concessions to raise funds in times of financial duress or to help the financing of special projects like re-shingling the building.
As was customary with most country churches, a cemetery was located near the church. A plan for the cemetery layout was drawn up by Harold Person and approved by the congregation. He was also the first cemetery caretaker until the election of Oscar Swanlund, 1928-1933. Others who have served in this role are: Hans Johnson, 1934-1938; John Person, 1939-1959; Albin Person, 1960-1978; Richard Knull, 1979-1988; Algot Person 1989-1998; Larry Selin 1999 to the present. In 1983, 151 burials had been recorded. As of 2008, 226 souls have been laid to rest up on Wilhelmina's hill. A grant of eleven hundred dollars was received from the Alberta Government in 1975 for improvements to the cemetery. In 1990 a chain link fence was installed around the cemetery and in 2004 markers were made to replace those that were in poor condition and for graves that were unmarked. General cemetery upkeep is currently the responsibility of work teams who have a set rotational schedule for grass cutting. A spring work bee is usually planned in the spring to handle other upkeep tasks.
1910 Confirmation Class
The first confirmands of this congregation were part of a class confirmed at Fridhem in 1910: Amanda Person, Gerda Hanson and Oscar Selin. Of the Fridhem congregation were: Hilma Nelson, Edna Lindgren, and Florence Skogman with Pastor Olaf Lindgren.
The first confirmation in the Wilhelmina church was a class of eighteen, confirmed on May 24, 1914: Walter Selin, Jenny Selin, Hildur Selin, Hogda Johnson, Martha Lovisa Johnson, Nestor Johnson, Anna Johnson, Emil Helgren, Esther Lindberg, Einar Lindberg, Paulina Lindberg, August Anderson, Hanny Hanson, Ellen Carlson, Carl Carlson, Hildegard Danielson, Olga Grundberg and Nannie Grundberg with Pastor Olaf Lindgren. With regret, there was no photograph of this class.
Among the first weddings after the congregation was organized was that of Sara Kristofferson to Oscar Swanlund, Mina Kristofferson to Olof Forsen and Olivia Kristofferson to Hilmer Sikstrom. The first wedding within the new church was that of Amanda Person to John Person in 1914. Shortly afterward a double wedding united Victoria Kristofferson to Albert Berg and Petra Hanson (Lunde) to Elis Anderson.
The following have served as congregational secretary for some period during the years past: Axel Selin, Oscar Swanlund, Erik Hanson, Albert Swanson, John Person, Knut Nordfeldt, Richard Pearson, Mary Anderson, Ernest Nordin, Albin Person, Evelyn Pearson, Connie Servold, Joanne Huebner, Jean Klappstein, Robert Klappstein, Jean Matson, Debbie Klein, Deanna Margel, Dave Hoogendoorn and Sandy Olansky . Treasurers: Linus Selin, Frank Johnson, Axel Selin, Erick Carlstrom, John Palm, Hans Palm, Stanley Selin, Ivar Lofgren, Reynold Nordin, Verner Johnson, Hampton Anderson, Algot Person, Muriel Holdsworth, Marilyn Nordin, Deanna Margel and Sarah Bossé.
A financial secretary was also elected in the period of 1929 to 1965. Only three served during this time and they were: John Person, Erick Carlstrom and Algot Person. When the church reopened in 1966, Algot Person resumed the role. Between 1980 and the present, Marilyn Nordin and Muriel Holdsworth have held that position.
Those who have served as organist are: Axel Selin, Mrs. Pastor Gronberg, Alhard Johnson, Hennie Selin, Judith Person, Seena Swanlund, Mrs. Pastor Pearson, Vivian Selin, Marlene Streberg, Marilyn Kemppainen, Leona Carpenter, Anita Johnson, Robert Klappstein and Deanna Margel.
The following have served as custodians: Harold Person, Magnus Lindberg, Anders Kristofferson, Erik Kristofferson, Oscar Swanlund, Jonas Anderson, Hans Johnson, John Person, Algot Person, and Ryan and Lillian Nordin.

← Was today (I) better than yesterday?
It's been a head scratcher (but an informational one).
1. Appreciation grows to respect, which grows to like, which easily (and beautifully) grows to love. This was said to me by a woman who was talking about her former relationships (and giving me relationship advice 🙂 ). In her first marriage, she didn't have this. With the second – she has it in spades. She said: "If you don't have full respect from your partner – you have nothing – not even a friendship. It comes in actions, not always words." Hmm.
2. If you only do that which you are sure of the outcome, you will never get anything done – or get to where you want to go. This was from a man I met recently. I asked about his fears and he said that his biggest one was getting stuck doing only those things he was sure about. When he met his wife, the thought she was too nice to be with someone like him. He took a chance at rejection. Best fear he's ever mastered. My biggest fear? Missing these messages. Wow.
3. Pay attention on purpose, without judgment. My close friend sent this text message on a day when she knew I was swamped. It reminded me to be present. And, as I'm typing this, I am conscious of my son playing his cello (beautiful), my other son talking with a friend, and my daughter quietly studying with the click of her ice in her water bottle. I so appreciate life!
4. You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams. I was out having wine with someone and I asked him, how he knew he was in love the first time and he gave me this fantastic quote from (who else!) Dr. Seuss. Love this!
5. Avoid the happiness leeches in your life. Dump them. This from the grocery checkout woman at the carpeted grocery store — don't ask how we got on this subject!
6. Good people attract good people. I heard this from someone after I told him that I'd met some really incredible people in my life. I hope it's true.
The take aways? I'm not totally sure. But as I continue my journey here, for however long I get, I want to remember that just one statement can change a life, a direction. One word ("love") can fill you up for a lifetime. Listen for your messages this week.
Absolutely love this. Thanks for sharing Jess…every time I read your thoughts – it makes me think. What a gift you are.

Catholic Legislators In The Last Days: Pope Leo XIII Comments Are Coming True
Advice for Catholic Legislators. Nothing could be more timely and nothing could come from a higher source than the Pope. However, nothing could be further from the truth of this age. Because, in truth, this was written over 120 years ago by the last Pope of the 19th century. A different place and time or was it? Please read what he had to say on this subject and decide if it is as fresh as was when he wrote in PATERNAE- his encyclical written on the education of clergy- 18 Sept. 1899 by Pope Leo XIII.
Pope Leo XIII stated:
Catholic Legislators
6. Joined to the advantage of the religious press is another advantage, that which results from the access of Catholics to public office and from their admission to the legislative assemblies. For the word is no less powerful than the pen; influence and authority can serve the good cause as well as the written word. It would even be appropriate to send men in holy orders to these legislative assemblies. The rights of the Church would best be defended by these guardians of religion.
7. But they should beware lest the effort made toward this end be so great that they seem to be motivated more by miserable ambition and blind partisanship than by love of the Catholic cause. What is more undignified than that clerics engage in struggle, and by their administration of the State introduce sedition and discord, the most pernicious things for the State? And what if, following bad counsel, they continually oppose the established authority?
8. The only result of such behavior is a great scandal for the people and a source of ill-feeling toward the clergy. Civil power should be exercised with moderation; every suspicion of ambition should be avoided; public offices should be won prudently, and no deviation should be made from true obedience to the supreme authority.
In paragraph six, Pope Leo XIII explained that the Church would be defended by having Catholics in political positions. This was predicated on the belief that these Catholics were true believers in the practices of the Church and followed its teachings. As of August 2021, there are 25 Catholics in the United States Senate, and 131 (out of 435) Catholics in the United States House of Representatives, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. This is close to 30% of the House and 25% of the Senate. With this much power and influence, if all the members were true believers and practiced their faith, would not this country be in a much different shape? Would Congress be in much different shape? Six of the nine United States Supreme Court Justices are Catholic. This would be a solid majority, in any case, dealing with concerns of life, religious liberty, or other issues important to the Church. If Pope Leo XIII was right then the majority of Catholic Legislators would help out the Church. Is this what you have witnessed?
In paragraph 7, Pope Leo XIII hints at the discord these political people cause when they go against the teachings of the Church and is sometimes the very public words that they have expressed before on the same matter. This can be seen by the recent comments of President Biden. President Biden, the second Catholic President of the United States that was sworn into office 60 years to the date of the first Catholic President of the United States John F. Kennedy. Publicly these men could not be more different than each other. President Joe Biden said on Friday, Sept. 3, that he does not believe life begins at conception - contradicting his previous statements on when life begins. Biden answered a reporter's question on abortion on Friday, after addressing the August jobs numbers at the White House. "I respect those who believe life begins at the moment of conception," Biden said. "I don't agree, but I respect that. I'm not going to impose that on people." In essence, he is not going to impose his beliefs on anyone except that is exactly what he is doing with this statement. This is in direct conflict with his statements to Meet The Press back in Sept. 2008. Back then, Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., the Democratic nominee for vice president, told a very different story when he departed Sunday from his party's doctrine on abortion rights, declaring that as a Catholic, he believes life begins at conception. But the Delaware senator added that he would not impose his personal views on others, and had indeed voted against curtailing abortion rights and against criminalizing abortion. It is this flip-flopping and poor use of logic that Pope Leo XIII was talking about in this paragraph. The people and media believe that President Biden is a good Catholic, he attends Church regularly, he partakes in the Sacraments. If it is okay for him to not believe, why can we? This is exactly what Pope Leo XIII was worried about. He was worried about this sixty-two years before the first US Catholic President, and 122 years before the second US Catholic President. If he was worried about this, should we be worried too?
Then look at the final part of the last paragraph. Public offices should be won prudently, and no deviation should be made from true obedience to the supreme authority. Could Pope Leo XIII have known about our time and was talking about almost 120 years before it happened? It really appears when you begin to take a closer look at Pope Leo XIII his writings are more applicable to our days than his. This man of God was a dynamic leader and his wisdom today is an excellent way to look at what is ahead for us in the future. Praise be to God Always. Amen Comment below.

Archaeology Island
More than 4,000 years of history in only 16 square miles
By ANDREW LAWLER
A forgotten sliver of land in the far north of the Persian Gulf, Kuwait's Failaka Island is home now mostly to camels. Its only town is a sprawling ruin pockmarked with bullet holes and debris from tank rounds, and the landscape beyond seems empty and bleak. Even before Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait prompted its sudden evacuation, Failaka in the past century was little more than a quiet refuge for fishermen and the occasional Kuwaiti seeking relief from the mainland's fierce heat. But just under the island's sandy soil, archaeologists are discovering a complex history extending back 4,000 years, from the golden age of the first civilizations to the wars of the modern era.
The secret to Failaka's rich past is its location, just 60 miles south of the spot where the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers empty into the Gulf. From the rise of Ur, the world's largest metropolis in the late third millennium B.C., until Saddam Hussein's attack during the First Gulf War, the island has been a strategic prize. For thousands of years, Failaka was a key base from which to cultivate and protect—or prey on—the lucrative trade that passed up and down the Persian Gulf. In addition, there were two protected harbors, potable water, and even some fertile soil. The island's relative isolation provided a safe place for Christian mystics and farmers amid the rise of Islam in the seventh and eighth centuries A.D., as well as for pirates a millennium later.
Currently, archaeological teams from no less than half a dozen countries, including Poland, France, Denmark, and Italy, are at work on Failaka. Given the political volatility of neighboring nations such as Iraq, Iran, and Syria, the island offers a welcome haven for researchers unable to conduct their work in many other parts of the region. "I started encouraging teams to come in 2004," says Shehab Shehab, Kuwait's antiquities director. "And I want to encourage more."
The mainland of Kuwait is mostly harsh desert, with only a handful of significant ancient sites. Even the old town of Kuwait City, dating back two centuries, was long ago demolished to make way for skyscrapers. Thus Failaka is of prime importance to the country's heritage. Recently, much of the island's history was threatened by a plan to transform the barren land with its rocky coast into a major tourist magnet, complete with marinas, canals, spas, chalets, and enormous high-rise hotels and condominiums. In the wake of the global economic recession, however, the $5 billion project foundered, and was recently shelved. Shehab has moved into the resulting vacuum, lobbying hard to turn all of Failaka into a protected site in order to enable archaeologists to uncover, study, and preserve this small nation's past.
The government already sets aside more than $10 million annually to cover the costs of foreign projects in Kuwait, and hopes to promote science as well as encourage heritage tourism. "Shehab's dream is to create in Kuwait a kind of research center for Gulf basin archaeology," says archaeologist Piotr Bielinski from the University of Warsaw, who is digging at a prehistoric site on the mainland just north of Kuwait City. And excavators on Failaka are making the most of this unique opportunity, exposing evidence of Mesopotamian merchants, religious structures representing three cultures and spanning more than 2,500 years, a pirate's lair, and the remains of Failaka's last battle, ample testimony to the island's millennia-long endurance.

Last Tango in Halifax is back for a two part Christmas special on BBC One, with the first part scheduled to air on Monday, December 19, and the second part on Tuesday, December 20, both at 9pm.
The new 60-minute long episodes of the BAFTA Award-winning drama series are set two years after Kate's death and promise "an engaging plot and a brilliant combination of comedy and drama", according to its producers. Caroline deals with changes in her life, such as a new job at a different school, a new family home in Huddersfield and a new potential love interest, and Gillian deals with issues from her past, which are coming back to haunt her.
The trailer song for Last Tango in Halifax, starring Sarah Lancashire, Anne Reid, Derek Jacobi, and Nicola Walker, is the 80s hit "Young At Heart" by The Bluebells.

NICOLA PARISI
The Flavor of Resilience: Loló, A Beloved Restaurant in San Francisco's Mission District, Offers Comfort During A Pandemic
The transporting power of food and memories.
By Megan Wetherall
A restaurant, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, is "a business establishment where meals or refreshments may be purchased." Ever since March 17th, when California Governor Gavin Newsom called for the—at the time—unimaginable closure of all restaurants for the purposes of dining in, they have been folding with the momentum of falling dominoes. There is an inexorable sense of loss and yes, loneliness, without them. We know now, in case we needed a reminder, that a restaurant is so much more than that clinical definition. It is the beating heart of its community; it is where we come together to take our place around the many tables, as part of a dynamic jigsaw, each service a unique mixing pot of customers and experiences, never to be repeated.
Related: Support Our Small Food Producers and Buy Direct
For me, one restaurant that especially embodies this alchemy is Loló, located in San Francisco's Mission district, a neighborhood infused with the spirit and heritage of Mexico. Before shelter-in-place, the Mission was one of the most vibrant pockets of the city, alive with the sounds of music, street vendors, and Spanish exchanges. My daughter would beg me to join the line for esquites at a curbside stand and we would wait, salivating, as the corn was pulled steaming from a bucket, scraped from its cob, tossed with mayonnaise, chili powder, and grated queso fresco, then handed over in a plastic container fogged up with condensation.
Left to Right: Co-owner, designer, and artist Lorena Zertuche, for whom Loló is named; Jorge Martinez Lillard, chef and co-owner of Loló.
Loló is a beloved family-run San Francisco institution serving "Jaliscan-Californian inspired cuisine." When I first moved to the city in 2014, I was intrigued to note that this local neighborhood spot seemed to be the common denominator connecting so many people from various walks of life and disparate parts of town. In a city where restaurants come and go at the best of times, Loló had earned her place as a keeper. The spot, which has been around since 2007, is co-owned by Mexican husband-and-wife team Jorge Martinez Lillard, the chef, and Lorena Zertuche, the designer and artist after whom it's named, as well as their business partner, Caldo Ruelas. Another invaluable member of the team is bar manager León Vasquez, known for his remarkable cocktail menu.
Left to Right: Loló business partner Caldo Ruelas; Loló bar manager León Vasquez.
Each wall in Loló is an homage to Mexican popular culture. Zertuche celebrates indigenous women with a wall lined with rows of embroidered aprons she sourced from a specialty shop in Guadalajara. Another wall displays an assortment of colorful plastic baskets used by women throughout Mexico to do their daily shopping.
After spending the last two weeks of March giving Loló a thorough spring clean, the restaurant reopened at the beginning of April to offer takeout for the very first time, a brave undertaking with a steep learning curve in the Covid climate. Over the next three months, the front of the restaurant was boarded up, but the exterior welcomed customers with a poster reading "Miss Seeing Your Face," and a gallery of vintage mirrors on which some of the menu was written by hand: "ceviche, tamales, habanero salsa," and on another "margaritas, palomas and negronis."

For many of us, these strange times are ripe for reflection and nostalgia. Chef Lillard was inspired to put his favorite dish on the restaurant's new to-go menu. Birria, a stew typically made with beef or goat, reminds him of when he lived alone with his father as a child after his parents' divorce. "My dad used to order birria every Saturday morning from a truck stop at a small town outside Guadalajara; he was addicted to it. I usually had a hangover from Friday night, so it was great to eat this warm, spicy stew with some tortillas and be sweating 15 minutes later. I chose birria for the take out menu because I was thinking about meat that would be comforting and work well wrapped in a burrito, be easy to take home and would be the same experience as if you ate it right away in the restaurant." While he cooks, the Guadalajara-born chef finds himself imagining the people who will eat his food. "Part of the fun of cooking is watching the instant gratification of people saying 'Wow, this is really good', or seeing a smile on their face or them sharing it with their friends. Your clients become your extended family."
It's not just Lillard who's been reminiscing, and it's impossible to underestimate the power of food memories to transport you. Ruelas has been missing his hometown of Los Mochis, on the mainland of Mexico opposite Baja California. In particular, he dreams about his mother's rice and beans. "It's pretty much beans boiled in water and salt, then she adds the cooked white rice to the beans, which are all brothy, makes a spicy pico de gallo salsa with a lot of serrano peppers, and tops it with fresh panela cheese," he explains. "When I go home, my mom knows, and that pot is waiting for me. And if she has made fresh tortillas, that's like the epitome."
Ruelas worries about his mother, who lives alone since his father passed away. "My mom always has an open door. She never knew who would come but there was always coffee and bread, and usually a house full of people. So imagine my mom right now." Try as he might, he can never quite replicate those rice and beans. "I am still trying but I believe a lot in who makes a recipe—there's an element of chemistry in who cooks it," he says.
Cocktails to go, concocted and canned on premises by bar manager León Vasquez.
Though his bar stools sit empty, Vasquez continues to pour his talents into cocktails. He first packed to-go drinks in mason jars but more recently, since obtaining a canning machine, the bartender has been making custom cans labeled "Made by Bad Hombres and Nasty Women at Loló SF," which are sold to thirsty patrons from a cooler out front. "I miss the interaction, and the adrenaline. I feel pretty alone here."
For Vasquez, the memory that shines most brightly is of crispy barbacoa tacos from Tacos Juan, his favorite spot in the Santa Tere neighborhood of Guadalajara. Tantalizingly slow-cooked beef or goat served atop a tortilla that's been dipped in the fat and crisped up on the plancha. What is it about these tacos? "Well it's everything," explains Vasquez. "I find it kind of umami because you have the saltiness from the stew, but also the sweetness from the chopped onions, and the sour from the lime squeezed on top. It's perfectly balanced."
In spite of the jaunty bandana covering much of Zertuche's face these days, there is no mistaking the childlike excitement that floods her eyes when she talks about her insatiable appetite for beans. Prepared any way: boiled, blended in a soup, refried, beans are the daily staple she cannot imagine life without. But if she had to single out just one? "Refried! I die, I die... Just with a tortilla, rested over the stove so it tastes like it's from the ranch. That burnt smell of pure corn is the most nostalgic smell for me, I remember so many things." Lillard offers refried beans on his current menu, achieving such an earthy depth and velvety texture that their appeal is undeniable.
One of many walls inside Loló dedicated to Mexican popular culture.
At Loló, despite all the stress and uncertainty, holidays are still celebrated. For Cinco de Mayo, Chef Lillard prepared a Mexican national treasure, pozole rojo, an aromatic stew made with pork and hominy, stained red over hours by the seductive presence of such dried chilies as guajillo, serrano, morita, and the smoky ancho from Oaxaca. The Aztecs considered maize, from which hominy is made, a sacred plant and many believed that we mortals were in fact created out of corn. That early May night on deserted Valencia Street, where crowds used to throng, customers came steadily through the early evening in search of comfort and a brief but cheering human exchange.
When early June rolled around, Loló began to offer outside dining with a row of tables on the sidewalk, and once the city gave permission to take over the parking spaces in the front of the restaurant, they created a fenced-in patio area that seats twenty. Atop the fence, Zertuche placed whimsical touches like colorful plastic broom heads and rain boots sprouting plants. When my family and I layered-up recently on a typically chilly San Francisco summer night, I was quite overcome with gratitude and wonder to be there beneath the fairy lights, a margarita in front of me alongside a crispy quesadilla filled with birria and melted Oaxacan cheese. Latin music played from a speaker rigged up in a tree, and I sensed that my fellow diners were also savoring this long awaited moment of coming together—albeit carefully spaced apart and sporting masks—and being taken care of and cooked for. Chef Lillard has been struck by the absence of cell phones at the table and for him, there is something miraculous and deeply encouraging about that change. He sees it as a reawakened desire "to really connect with another human being." None of us knows what the future holds, but for that hour or so I was reminded not only of the joy and solace that I find in this restaurant that I hold so dear, but also of the grit, resourcefulness and commitment that are required behind the scenes to make it possible, now more than ever.

I'm using BeTheme Renovate theme and the Action Bar at the very top is using dark blue colour links, which is difficult to read on a dark gray/black background. I inserted HTML code to it in BeTheme Option but it doesn't change it properly, i guess I need to change it in CSS, preferably in Child Theme Editor. I would like to change it from dark blue to just white colour. Can you please assist with this.
Hi - I also have the same problem. The link is the same color as the background and I can't seem to find where to change it. It's for the phone/email in the action bar area.
that worked great. I had found it in another thread but thank you much!
Hi - I am also looking for some css code for this. I need it for the top action bar (text / phone icon / envelope) above the header bar for the betheme business.
I first added 2 phone numbers to the action bar, but now I have tried to delete one phonenumber, which seems not to be possible. Every time I take away the second phone number it reappears. So no I just have a blank step there, but ofcourse the second phone icon still appears. How can I keep only one phone number? Thank you in advance!
I'd also like to change the font size as above and also the character set/font.
My action bar background color happens to be the same color as my active text links for content pages, thus making them invisible in my action bar. Is there anyway to make the text links in my action bar just white? Thanks so much.
Okay, can anyone help with how to insert this code into the css?
@muffingroup, does it matter where or how?
I just want to be extra cautious.
How do WordPress updates effect these features?
@muffingroup, I realized this as I was thinking about how it works this morning. I like this WordPress feature, thank you very much!
As well as the Higlight color in the Menu. This in the demo insurance it doesnt seem to work when using the betheme option color pannel. Almost nothing i change overthere has an influence on the webpages itself.
It seems that the footer is alwas page related. I can't get it right, meaning i would like a uniform footer that i set in the be theme option pannel, but nowwhere this is set rigt?
I'm wondering how i can make one footer that's the same on all the pages. When i use the betheme pannel>Footer en fill out everything it doesnt show.
So that's what im looking for, or make one footer on one page and that footer somehow copy or clone to the other pages.
Above you mention on how to change the color of the links in the Action Bar, but what about the color of the SOCIAL ICONS on the Action bar? My action bar is set to Background color White, and I would like the Social icons to be black.
@DebLiz Thank you so much! I tried looking for the discussion because I knew other people must've had the same question. Worked like a charm!

Today I am announcing that Love Is Never Past Tense is now available at Audible and Amazon and is expected soon on ITunes. If you sign up for a 30-day trial on Audible, you can get it free.
Sound brought a new dimension to my story. Getting it just right was very important, which meant selecting the right narrator was vital. Over the past few years, I listened to dozens of samples. Finding someone with the right voice and the right technical skills was a big effort. I was looking for a person who could not only read the text, but feel it.
I went through many voices: actors, students, voice over artists—you name it. None of them seemed good for the book.
One day, when I nearly decided to leave the project alone, I went to ACX — a market for matching authors with freelance narrators who have the talent and access to the technology. ACX had samples available, thousands upon thousands of samples. I clicked on a sample of Daniela Acitelli — I was attracted by the beautiful name. To my wonder, this was the one!
Daniela is a narrator from the UK who has created numerous audio books and logged hundreds of finished stories. When she sent me the sample, I was thrilled to realize that she picked up and expressed feelings, intonations, and character features perfectly! She brought out the characters, the romance and the drama so vividly! This wasn't a simple reading. It was a story—the story I heard in my head as I was writing the book.
I included a short fragment of a beautiful violin piece by my dear departed friend Karo Hayrapetyan, the famed Armenian master. His son who lives Armenia gave me permission.
I dedicated the book to my Mom and my daughter Alla.
The eBook is available exclusively on Amazon. If you are a Kindle Unlimited user, you can download it for free.
Here is where to get the audio book, the eBook or both.
How could he possibly know that she, a complete stranger, would inexplicably impact his life and be with him forever, whether she was at his side or not?

As they build separate lives and families, their destinies, shaped by post-Soviet political intrigue, collapse into a struggle for their very survival, and dreams of a better life. Years later, distant memories of young, passionate love spawn emails that lead to international calls reviving an intimate, romantic connection.
They meet in the town they first met. It was as if they had been apart only a day.
"How did you end up abroad?" And the story of her unbelievable exodus follows; an exodus from a crumbling country with her child, her elderly mom, and $126 in her pocket.
The world had tried to tear them – and itself – apart, but years have made them wiser. They decide to give their romance another chance, proving that Love Is Never Past Tense.

EducationPreschool4 Ways to Inspire a Love for the Chinese Language in Your Children
You don't have to be a pro to be able to help your child appreciate Chinese.
So how can you make learning Chinese less of a chore and more of a joy for your child AND yourself?
That's a common question parents in Singapore have, where English has overtaken Chinese as the most-used language at home, increasing from 32% of the population in 2010 to 47% in 2020.
The way to tackle this issue is with the right mindset and approach.
Here are 4 simple ways to achieve this.
1. Turn Learning Into A Fun Activity
There'll be plenty of textbooks and rote memorisation once your child enters primary school. So, for now, why not take the "boring" out of learning and make it fun instead?
Let them read Chinese comics, watch Chinese cartoons, learn to sing Chinese songs, or try their hand at Chinese calligraphy. Pick up a Chinese book to read before bedtime or play an audiobook. If they like watching videos on your iPad, turn that into a learning opportunity with educational Chinese YouTube channels for children. For more ideas, check out these tips to make learning Chinese fun for preschoolers!
2. Immerse Them In A Chinese-Speaking Environment
There's a famous Chinese proverb that goes, "It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books" (读万卷书不如行万里路). That means that learning from practical experiences can be just as, if not more important than book knowledge.
Turn one day every week into a special "Speak Chinese Day" where you only chat in Chinese with each other. If travelling is an option, go on family vacations during school holidays to a Chinese-speaking country and encourage your child to communicate with the locals. By hearing and practising the language in real-life situations, it can help build their confidence.
3. Share About Chinese Culture
There's so much more to a language than just strokes on a page. The Chinese language has a rich history and culture, with fascinating legends that can go toe-to-toe with any of your children's fantasy storybooks.
Open their eyes to Chinese folklore and share stories behind Chinese proverbs, idioms and festivals. For example, we all know that the Mid-Autumn Festival is about mooncakes and lanterns. But how many of us know that its origins involve an archer shooting down nine suns, and his wife drinking an elixir of life to become the Moon Goddess?
No matter where you look, there are myths and tales that are sure to capture your child's attention and foster their appreciation for the language.
4. Start Young
Ever heard of the critical period hypothesis? It's a linguistic theory that claims once children are past a certain age (usually around puberty — 12-13 years old), it becomes more difficult to fully learn a language. Children are masters at language learning, absorbing new words faster than we could ever hope to as adults.
However, once children find a subject too challenging or overwhelming in school, it's common for them to lose motivation in learning it. By tapping on the critical period and developing a strong foundation while they're young, you can nurture your child's confidence and interest in Chinese! The more comfortable they are with the language, the less they'll dread Chinese lessons. One way to get started is to enrol them in Chinese preschools and enrichment classes for toddlers.
Nurture Your Child's Love for Chinese with MindChamps
At MindChamps Chinese PreSchool, we spark a deep love for Chinese in children through our research-backed curriculum and immersive learning environment. Champs from all levels can learn and experience rich Chinese heritage through hands-on activities like clay modelling and Chinese painting. Hear from parents of Champs themselves:
"Thanks to the strong Mandarin immersion environment, Alexander has been spouting more Mandarin at home and happily sings the songs (English and Mandarin) that were taught in school. I think the school is integral in cultivating this love for both languages, something that is extremely invaluable in any child's early learning journey," shared the parents of Alexander Fong.
Our modules are designed to be effectively bilingual to equip your child with a strong foundation and the confidence to express themselves both at home and in school. Give your Champ a head start in learning and appreciating the Chinese language with MindChamps!
