One of my great pleasures in life is talking to other people about their struggles,hopes,dreams, etc…..
This blog gives me that opportunity! People reach out to me, sometimes daily, and I'm always humbled by the opportunity to talk with them about these things.
Recently I spoke to you….and you touched my heart. You have been on my mind this morning!
So when I saw this; I knew it was for you! I know you will recognize it as your truth!
Bless you and have a good day!
And remember to PRAY BIG!
We all have dreams, but I think too many of us censor our dreams just as we censor our lives.
I wish we could all remember the dreams we dreamed as a child and then have the courage to live them.
Do not limit yourself! Do not be afraid! Never listen to what others say…as a matter of fact, don't tell others what your dreams are if there is any doubt that they will encourage you! You need encouragement! You do not have to share your dreams with anyone but God for them to come true!


Avoid rushing to catch a flight at the airport and looking for airport parking. Select from a variety of park and fly packages in the Manchester, NH airport area hotels. For one low price enjoy one night at a nearby hotel, shuttle service to and from the airport and car parking at the hotel while you travel. Park and fly packages allow you to catch your flight relaxed and rested and without the stress of rushing to the airport, getting stuck in traffic and looking for airport parking that is more expensive than a good park and fly package.
I live 2&1/2 hours from Manchester and needed a place to stay to catch an early morning flight. Four Points was perfect, a 10 shuttle to the airport, with no additional cost for parking for my 11 day trip.
Definitely worth the little traveling we did to get to Manchester to catch our flight to Atlanta!

Yes, I agree. Ben was about to go into the temple and ask for forgiveness. He probably felt guilty about other stuff too, and this was something else that he could apologize for. You know, trying to be as guilt-free before confronting Smokey.
Um, I really wished that Ben's line was "Well, we don't really have a word for it, but you called it the Monster...but I guess sometimes we call him Smokey, too."

When Ben showed up at the Marina and called Widmore, I said to my wife that I hoped Des would be the one who beat the snot out of Ben. But that was just the sentimental side of me.
I couldn't be happier about this development. There's no way TPTB could have killed off Penny or Des without a massive revolt from fans. This is much more satisfying.
One question remains. Ben said someone else had injured his arm and it was apparently not Des, at least not based on what we've seen so far. Was Ben in another fight before he got to the plane?
There is that chance, though, that Desmond could die from his wounds, hence Ben's "apology" to him.
Blitz Wing
Are we certain that there's not more to the flashback that we weren't shown yet? Ben gets out of the water and is still able to get Penny?
I always figured it'd be pretty funny if Penny was the one who beat the snot out of Ben. =)
... and it made his statement to Sun about telling Desmond he's sorry make even less sense. Sorry for letting Desmond beat the **** out of him?
he did SHOOT Desmond and try to kill Penny

I'm pretty sure Desmond didn't look like he had been shot when he went after Ben. I'm thinking the only thing Ben is guilty of when it comes to that is---intent to kill Penny...and murder of a grocery bag.
Quote from: The_Hatch_Monkey on April 09, 2009, 02:54:30 AM
ok, we need a screenshot
I still say Ben shot Desmond, but the island healed him or whatever; it kept him alive the same it kept Michael alive because the island is not through with Des yet
and nobody else beat up Ben, it was Desmond who messed up Ben's arm
Quote from: jamesl on April 09, 2009, 02:57:39 AM
Hey James, there is a screen shot up on the main page. Ch-check it out and let me know what you think.
happy happy ! did I mention I'm happy?
I wonder how Desmond will fit into the rest of the story now. what would his reason be for going back to the island if he even does. or what will his purpose be now. (well I have an idea obviously )
GUTZandRAGE
I wonder why Eloise told Desmond that pushing the button in the hatch would be the only great thing Desmond will ever do.
And why in the world was Ben so sorry? I thought he had killed little Charlie, and had unintentionally put Desmond through the same hell we can only assume he went through after Alex's skull was splattered by hot lead as he looked on. But in the end, all he did was shoot and miss Desmond.
He wouldn't apologize to Locke, and Locke he violently strangled. Damn you, Ben! You cryptic motherf--
Quote from: Mrs Hume on April 09, 2009, 03:34:03 AM
OMB, when he shot Des I seriously jumped up and shouted, "NO, MRS HUME!!!!!! NOOOOOO!!!" But then he tackled Ben and I was like, Whew! Okay, calm down heart, it's all good, it's all good.... lol
It's still possible that Ben killed Penny. Went back and finished the job somehow. I don't think this is the case, but I'm just saying....it's possible. So he could have been apologizing for killing her, or for attempting to kill her. *shrugging*
lol, awww! I didn't even react! do you believe it!? I don't know if it was because I was in shock or denial. and before i could react He jumped Ben.
You might be right, he might have gone back later and finished the job. but from his reaction right before Des jumped him, he looked like he couldn't do it. (but, the tricky ptb might would have planed that to fool us) so I just hope he didn't because I think this episode has showed what I have felt for a while now. That Ben isn't as bad as Widmore. Remember i said he's our bad guy? widmore couldn't be better because we got more invested in Ben? But if he killed penny I will be disappointed.
and during the show I thought wow, the tea party is going to have to celebrate. because Ben was judged and didn't die (yet?)
Ben is our bad guy. Absolutely. If the island wanted him dead, it would have killed him. And not just given him a tumor that will slowly kill him...lol...that reminds me of Austin Powers, with the sharks with lasers, and closing the door without knowing if they'll really be killed, lol! Yeah, if he was supposed to die, Smokey would have gotten to him by now, I think. Or let something kill him.
let's just hope now that the island is finished judging him. and it's not waiting for him to finish helping the rest of the group before being done with him. I fear that.

Clan Carruthers: Middlebie Church
September 27, 2019 November 9, 2019 Clan Carruthers
Old photograph of Middlebie village
We thank our Executive Secretary, Graham Carruthers from Canada for this excellent post.
According to the 'Records of the Carruthers Family' by Carruthers and Reid, the state on page 38 in the last paragraph, that 'the Carruthers Clan lived within Annandale and were chiefly located at Mouswald and Holmains and numerous adjacent places. This district was situated in the West March of Scotland'. The parish and place of /Carruthers' from which we all hail, was placed in the modern parish of Middlebie in 1609. However, in 1296, one Simon Carruthers, who bent the knees to Edward I, was parson of Middlebie. Middlebie (Mydilby) was chartered by King David to William of Carruthers 2nd of Mouswald, in 1349. One of the witnesses was John of Carruthers, Kings Chancellor to Annandale (Initiator of the Holmains line and thus our Chief's ancestor) and brother of William. Carruthers held ownership of Middlebie and patronage of the Church until 1548, when the last chief of Mouswald was killed. It is interesting to note in the following snippet from the Charter of 1349, that in the early stages of the House of Mouswald, the recipients were named as Carruthers of Carruthers, underlining the origins of the name of the family being topographical. The discussion today relates to the Church in Middlebie, which for a Carruthers, is well worth a visit.
The Charter of Middlebie to Carruthers
Carruthers of Carruthers
This is a charter by King David as Lord of Annaudale granting to William of Carrutheris the land in the tenement of Midilby, which belonged to Thomas Of Lyndby. It is granted at Mouswald, 10 September, twenty-first year of The King's reign, [1349].
Witnesses named in the charter are Robert, Steward of Scotland, John of Carrutheris, the King's Chancellor of Annandale, John of Tunnergath, the King's Chamberlain of Annandale and John Stewart, Warden of the West March.
Roger of Carrutheris, Procurator of John of Carrutheris, Lord of Mousswalde, By Malcolm Ra, clerk of the diocese of Whithorn, containing a small transumpt of the following charter
Charter by David, King of Scots and Lord of Annandale, granting to his Beloved and faithful William of Carrutheris and his heirs all that land in the Tenement of Mydilby, which belonged formerly to Thomas of Lyndby, and had come into the King's hands by reason of the forfeiture of the said late Thomas, against the King's faith and peace with his enemies of England : to be held to him and his heirs, of the King and his heirs, with advocation of the kirk of Meddilby, for rendering of service due and wont. Given at Mousswalde, 10 September, xxi year of reign, [1349.]
Witnesses, Robert, Steward of Scotland, the King's nephew, John of Carrutheris, the King's Chancellor of Annandale, Maurice Murray, Malcolm Flemyng, John of Tunnergath, the King's Chamberlain of Annandale, John Stewart, Warden of the West March (Custode Marchie Occidentalis), William of Crichtoun, and others.
The King's seal is ordered to be appended.
The transumpt was made at Whithorn, at seven before noon, in (the) presence of
Patrick, Abbot of Soulseat, Sir Donald McConnen, Vicar of Whithorn, Gilbert Adonnyll, Vicar of Kyrkmedau of Whithorn diocese.
Middlebie is a hamlet and parish in the historic county of Dumfriesshire in Dumfries and Galloway, south-west Scotland. It is approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) east of Ecclefechan, and 6 miles (9.7 km) north-east of Annan, on the banks of the Middlebie Burn.
Middlebie Parish consists of the ancient parishes of Middlebie, Pennersax (Pennersaughs) and Carruthers, united in 1609. Middlebie was the seat of a Presbytery from some time after the Reformation until 1743. It was then divided to form the Presbyteries of Langholm and Annan. Middlebie parish is now in the Presbytery of Annandale & Eskdale. It is bounded by the seven parishes of Tundergarth, Langholm, Canonbie, Half Morton, Kirkpatrick Fleming, Annan and Hoddam.
The Ancient Parish of Middlebie
Although there was a Brythonic fort (Caer Ruthers), which existed in the area before hand, in and around 80AD, the Romans built a fort at Birrens in the parish of Middlebie, just half a mile from the modern village.
Excavation of this site, has revealed a number of altars and dedications: one to the goddess Fortuna; one, to "Jupiter Best and Greatest"; one to Minerva, the goddess of wisdom; and one to Brigantia, a goddess native to the Iron Age tribes in this part of the British Isles. Might some of the soldiers have been Christians? It's possible.
Christianity is more definitely established in the area by the 7th century. St Mungo (died 614AD) reportedly had his episcopal palace in nearby Hoddom parish. Half a century later, St Cuthbert, elected Prior of the monastery of Melrose in 661AD, is thought to have come to Middlebie in the course of his travels. Perhaps he found a congregation already gathering on the rocky outcrop above Middlebie Burn, or perhaps he established one. Certainly the site is very ancient, and if you walk around the church and look down the steep slope to the burn, it is easy to see why it was chosen as a holy place.
After the Scottish Reformation (1560AD), the story of Middlebie Church is better documented. The General Assembly of 1581 proposed the creation of the Presbytery of Middlebie, which gives us a sense of the former importance of what is now a very quiet hamlet. For more than 100 years, ministers and elders from the surrounding parishes attended Presbytery meetings at Middlebie. Then in 1743, the Presbytery was divided into the Presbytery of Annan and the Presbytery of Langholm. Nowadays, it is at the centre of the Presbytery of Annandale and Eskdale.
History of this church
Middlebie Church
In 1609, the bounds of Middlebie Parish were enlarged when it was united with the parishes of Carruthers and Pennersax (or Pennersaugh). You can still visit the graveyards of these former parishes, and the one at Carruthers is still in use – and the subject of a famous poem by Hugh McDiarmid, called Crowdieknowe. In those days, just like today, the Church of Scotland was troubled by shortages of money and ministers. The first minister of the united parish whose name is recorded was Thomas Bell, MA, appointed in 1615. His name, and the name of his successors up to the present day, can be seen inscribed on the Roll of Ministers, which hangs in the church foyer. One of them, James Currie (1763-73) was the father of Dr James Currie, the biographer of Robert Burns and the first editor of his poetic works.
In 1790, a small number of parishioners left the Established Church to form the Relief Church congregation at Waterbeck. The church that they built there was the forerunner of the present one, which in 1847 became part of the United Presbyterian Church. Meanwhile, the Union with Carruthers and Pennersax had made Middlebie Parish the biggest parish in Scotland at the time. By 1883, the southern part of the parish had become so populous that it was separated from Middlebie to form the new parish of Kirtle. Kirtle Parish consisted of the villages of Kirtlebridge and Eaglesfield, with the church and manse in Kirtlebridge.
In 1905, a daughter church to Middlebie was built in the old Carruthers Parish at Laurie's Close, to cater for those church members who lived beyond reasonable walking distance to Middlebie. However, after car ownership became common, the little church had outlived its usefulness, especially once nearby Waterbeck Church rejoined the Church of Scotland in the 'Great Union' of 1929. The church at Laurie's Close was eventually sold, and has been converted into a private dwelling house.
Old Logo of the Church of Scotland
After the Great Union, Eaglesfield and Kirtle became separate parishes. At that time, Eaglesfield was served by the former Kirkpatrick Fleming United Free Church at Pincod, just outside the village to the south east. Since there was already a Kirkpatrick Fleming Church of Scotland in the village of that name, the Pincod church was renamed Eaglesfield Church. Fundraising to build a new church in the village began before the war, but the building was not completed until 1952. Money for this was raised by subscription – no small achievement in a village known locally as 'Poverty Row'. The pulpit, pews, and some panelling from the old church were incorporated into the new building, and the the Pincod church was demolished.
In 1948, Middlebie was linked with the Parish of Eaglesfield. In 1959, this arrangement was rethought. Eaglesfield Parish was split again from Middlebie and reunited with Kirtle Parish to create the new parish of Kirtle-Eaglesfield. Meanwhile, Middlebie was linked with Waterbeck. In 1972, the three parishes were linked under one minister, who lived in the Manse at Kirtle.
In 2010, the parishes underwent yet more adjustment. Middlebie and Kirtle-Eaglesfield were united with Hoddom Parish, based in the village of Ecclefechan, to become one parish of five villages and around 3500 inhabitants. The church buildings in Kirtlebridge and Ecclefechan were sold to private buyers, as was the Kirtle Manse, while Waterbeck Church (which was owned by the village) seceded from the Church of Scotland and now operates as an independent church. The churches at Middlebie and Eaglesfield were retained, and the united congregation worships in each on alternate weeks. The Manse is in Ecclefechan.
The story of the bells
In 1626 raiders from Scotland stole a pair of bells St Michael's in the village of Bowness across the Solway in England. (Because of the location of the Church, there is a possibility that Carruthers may have played a role in this)
They fled back to their boats, pursued by angry locals, and began to row back across the firth. The English pursuers set off after them and were gaining ground. The Scots realised that the bells were weighing them down, so they threw them overboard and made their getaway.
The bells were lost forever, but irate villagers decided to retaliate for the theft and launched their own raid north across the firth and stole bells from churches in Dornock and Middlbie.
A tradition has therefore arisen, that each time a new minister takes office they must petition Bowness on Solway for the return of the bells. For almost 4 hundred years every request has been refused or simply ignored and the Scottish bells remain in England at the west end of St Michaels Church..
According to the Diocese of Carlisle, St Michael's is in the centre of the village of Bowness-on-Solway village on the southern shore of the Solway Firth. It is 13 miles west of Carlisle and 11 miles north of Wigton. Bowness-on-Solway is the western terminus of the Hadrians Wall.
One of the bells in St Micheal's Church
A church has existed on this site since Norman times, but the present building is the result of a restoration completed in 1891.Some of the masonry is Roman and the only visible remains of the fort which once occupied the site of the present village. The chancel arch and oak ceiling date from the restoration. The chancel has a Norman window, and all the windows are of stained glass.quare Norman font is described by Pevsner as 'excellent' and has leaf decoration. The bells are said to have been stolen in a Border raid, and St Michaels's has the Scottish bells from the counter raid. Other features include a Breeches Bible, millenium banner and an ongoing project to replace the kneelers. In the churchyard a smuggler's grave, ancient sundial and hearse house can be seen.
The Clan Carruthers Society (International) was founded in January 2017 and is officially recognised by the Chief of Carruthers as representing the worldwide Carruthers family. It is non-commercial, apolitical and non-partisan and is open to any member of the international Carruthers family and derivatives of that name. The Society is based in the United Kingdom, but is represented by an international Executive Council.

The most difficult part about getting clean is when you're dealing with the symptoms of opiate withdrawals. The symptoms of withdrawal from opiates are one of the main reasons people relapse, but there's a better way. The mistake that most people make is that they try to go through the detox on their own, but it's far too difficult. The best way to have a chance at a new life in recovery is by going to a qualified opiate detox program.
Due to your psychological dependence to opiates, during this difficult time, your cravings are incredibly intense. There's also a common misconception that trying to do a cold turkey opiate detox isn't dangerous. The reality is that the long-term effects of opiates on your vital organs are extremely serious. During the withdrawal process, your heart rate and blood pressure are much higher, which can put you at risk for cardiac arrest.
The first thing to realize is that there's no shame in asking for help, and it's the best thing you can do for yourself. By seeking the help of a Utah opiate detox center, your chances of staying clean are much higher. You'll first go through a physical and psychological evaluation so the medical staff can make a plan of action. From here, the physicians at the opiate detox facility can help minimize your symptoms as much as possible.
One of the first options of going through detox is using various medications for detox. Medications like Methadone are useful because they make the brain believe you're still using without any of the addictive effects. Over time, your doctor will begin to taper down this medication and take you off when you're ready. This makes the process far more comfortable and helps to minimize your cravings to use in the process.
There's also the option of going the holistic route, which doesn't involve medications, and it can be extremely beneficial. Going to a holistic detox center Utah offers is the best thing you can do for your recovery. While the medications for detox are non-addictive, you may feel more comfortable going the natural route. This is helpful because you'll learn great ways to deal with various issues like anxiety that you'll face in early recovery as well.
To learn more about our programs and evidence-based techniques, contact Ardu Recovery Center today at 801-810-1234. As a Salt Lake City opiate detox, we treat the biology of your disease so you can begin living a happier, healthier life.


City of Columbia council members are hearing arguments in favor and against a proposal to prohibit bars from being open late night hours.
Currently, almost two dozen bars within the city limits have late night permits to serve beer and wine after 2 a.m., although liquor is still prohibited in the late night hours.
The new proposal has been driven by concerned community members, who believe the prohibition could create a safer, more orderly downtown environment. As University of South Carolina students increasingly move into rented homes in residential neighborhoods close to the downtown hospitality scene, public order near the entertainment districts has become an increasing concern for some residents. The argument is being heard by the public safety committee, comprised of City Councilmen Daniel Rickenmann, Ed McDowell, and Sam Davis, and may be up for a vote as soon as this month.
News coverage over the last two months has heard the opinions of University of South Carolina students, City of Columbia residents, and local neighborhood associations. However, the prohibition may have the greatest effect on a forgotten class of individuals: the restaurant and bar hospitality industry workers who may lose both their income and their after-work social setting.
Late Night Licenses: Should Every Bar Have Theirs Revoked, or Just Some?
Prohibition would likely cause damage the revenue of small, locally owned businesses such as Bar None and Nightcaps, both of which have been staples of Columbia's late night bar and restaurant service industry for years. It would also create a disproportionately negative effect on the economic well-being of city of Columbia residents who work in the late night hospitality industry. David Harris, owner of Nightcaps, shared his opinion on the possible prohibition's unintended victim.
Although Speakeasy is not a late night bar, Bryant feels the ban would "have a negative effect on all local businesses," a sentiment that was echoed by other industry workers. Some, such as Tin Roof bartender Boone McClendon, said that the prohibition would be "a game changer" for Columbia's hospitality industry, with late night crowds possibly being driven to neighboring cities like West Columbia. It is speculated that small business owners in nearby cities could take advantage of the city of Columbia pushing out its late night bars and restaurants.
Since much of the discussion so far has focused on issues in the Five Points neighborhood, some service industry workers expressed resentment, believing a small number of businesses may be costing other bars and restaurants their opportunities to stay open late night hours. Nightcaps owner Harris, who operates past 2 a.m. on weekdays with a special permit, said the his bar, which is located on Devine Street just outside of Five Points, does not cause problems for those who live or work nearby.
Where, and What, is the Problem?
Employees in neighboring entertainment districts, like The Vista, the City Center/Main Street district, and Rosewood echoed this sentiment. "Five Points is a disaster, and needs some structure, or someone enforcing laws," one bartender wrote to Midlands Anchor.
Josh Bumgarner is an employee of Five Points late night restaurant Bar None, and he has been active in speaking out against the proposed ban According to Bumgarner, Bar None and other neighborhood pubs are getting a lot of undeservedly negative attention.
"The opposition is only focusing on the Five Points district completely. At the last Public Safety Hearing, Kit Smith only complained about Five Points and did not even begin to express any interest in The Vista, Rosewood, or Main Street, which is a blatant bias," said Bumgarner.
"The Logic is Flawed": Who is Out After 2 a.m.?
Bradley Morgan works at Breakers Bar & Grill and Breakers Live, also housed in the Five Points entertainment industry. Although Breakers does have a late night permit, Morgan said it is usually only used for special events, as most of their clientele leaves prior to 2 a.m. Still, Morgan said "it is nice to have the ability (to stay open late) when the situation warrants it." And like other service industry workers, Morgan suspects that the complaints in favor of late night prohibition are mostly hysteria, and he doubts that there is actually enough evidence to support the ban.
Like Morgan, many other service industry workers expressed that the prohibition disproportionately targets the service industry crowd, a group that one local chef referred to as "modern day blue collar folks." Indeed, Nightcaps owner Harris agreed that most of his late night customers are not University of South Carolina students, although that is what many of the complainants have stated.
Established late night spots like Bar None and Nightcaps are often staffed with what Pate refers to as "veteran bartenders," well-trained service industry professionals who are knowledgable and skilled not only in bartending, but also in crowd management, checking IDs, and liquor laws. Harris and Bumgarner both suggested that a prohibition would unfairly hurt local small business owners and service industry workers who have been following the rules for years. According to Bumgarner, Bar None is not the kind of bar that offers "$1 liquor shots," but instead caters into an older crowd and has a staff that cares about the bar's reputation.
As the citywide debate about late night prohibition continues, many restaurant workers hope their voices will be heard. The ban could negatively impact the well-being of multiple locally owned small businesses, as well as cause a major loss of income for many local workers. According to Bumgarner, this is a time when the often-ignored hospitality industry workers need to find their voice and come together to protest the prohibition.


It was 1979. Nobody glamorous ever visited Ireland. The older generations still spoke fondly of the 1963 visit of John F Kennedy as if it had happened the previous week (Lise Hand writes).
It would be three years before the Rolling Stones appeared in Slane like a mirage in a rock'n'roll desert. U2 were still playing in Dublin's Dandelion Market.
We were inhabitants of a rainy out-of-the-way rock, the geographic equivalent of being in the kitchen at the sophisticated EEC party. We had bombs in the North — the IRA had assassinated Lord Mountbatten, Queen Elizabeth's cousin, and two teenagers in Donegal in August — and there was a continuing recession in the Republic.

Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie
An upcoming two-hour American animated television film split into two parts. Based on Craig Bartlett's Hey Arnold! TV series, it will serve as a sequel to the series finale in which Arnold found his father's journal and read about the life of his scientist parents, including their first meeting, birthing him, and a map showing the route they took to the San Lorenzo before they disappeared.
Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie is one of the biggest surprises of the year 2017. The best movie online? This is an answer that has changed many times in my life and will probably change more often, but for now, Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie.

What Google really bought with its $12.5 billion purchase of Motorola Mobility was a few fights. There's the one with Apple, for sure, but there are a few other hitches in Google's new giddyap.
Now, just like Apple, Google controls the hardware and the software side of its cell phone business -- an enviable ecosystem (for proof, see that Apple is the most valuable company in the world).
Another hitch could be that this move make sother Android manufacturers upset, because now they will inevitably be behind Google's eight-ball of manufacturing, with all the goodies being fed to the Motorola unit. For example, HTC has been building "Google phones" for years, so this moves Google from colleague to competitor.
In the ongoing patent wars, this too plays a part. Missing out on the Nortel fire sale, the Motorola pick up allows for thousands of patents to fall into Google's tool box. This could well prove to be the most valuable part of this whole deal.
Culturally speaking, there are a couple of things at play here, too. Motorola is an old-fashioned, Midwestern-style company. Its former hits, like the Razr phone, are noteworthy, but overall it lacks the imagination typical of Silicon Valley. Assimilation will not be easy.
Oh, and Google got 65 percent bigger, by headcount. That's a lot of Chicagoans that could be packing up the Truckster and headed to Mountain View and other Bay Area points.


Preoperational Stage of Cognitive Development research papers study Jean Piaget's child psychology theories.
In specifically examining the preoperational stage of cognitive development according to Jean Piaget, it is apparent that it is the stage that falls between the sensori-motor stage and concrete operational stage. Typically, children enter this stage at the age of two. It is characterized by a number of distinctive features with regard to the quality of cognitive processes during that period. One of the biggest changes that occurs in the transition from sensori-motor and preoperational is the way that the child approaches the world. In the sensori-motor stage, the child views objects in terms of how he or she can actually manipulate them. Thus, a ball is an object that can be thrown, rolled, or placed in one's mouth. It is speculated that there is little symbolic thought that is happening within the mind of a child under the age of two.
At the age of two and entrance into preoperational stage, the quality of the child's thinking changes. Basically, the mind of the child becomes one filled with symbolic or representational thought. One might assume that this symbolic thought is the result of the development of language. Piaget suggested that language development and cognitive development were not integrally related. He believed that cognitive development would occur regardless of the child developing increased language skills. In fact, cognitive development was a precursor for the development of language. Berk offers evidence to support this notion.
One of the accompanying characteristics of preoperational thought is the occurrence of "make-believe play". By "pretending," children strengthen their cognitive abilities. They are essentially practicing the way they think about the world. They are formalizing their conceptualizations of the world. As part of this play, they can take any object and pretend that it is something else other than what it is. Through this process they become more focused on the external world and less focused upon themselves. In other words, they are not longer limited by the reality of the objects they manipulate or the actions that they perform.
Paper Masters writes custom research papers on Preoperational Stage of Cognitive Development and study Jean Piaget's child psychology theories.

Are fiery school-board meetings representative of all parents?
By Anna Saavedra, Amie Rapaport, Morgan Polikoff, Dan Silver
Can digital technology education improve gender equality in ICT careers in Kenya?
The pandemic has challenged public education in a variety of ways. School leaders, teachers, families, and students are contending with controversies over vaccines, mask-wearing, quarantine procedures, and the ever-present threat of new variants, to say nothing of students' academic and social-emotional setbacks. During widely publicized school-board meetings, frustrated parents have been angrily pushing back against mask mandates and the teaching of America's current and historical race relations.
Parent anger over extended school closures and curriculum were part of the prevailing media narratives about Terry McAuliffe's loss to Glenn Youngkin in Virginia's governor race last month. The narrative was subsequently posited as key to Republican advantages in the 2022 midterm elections. But is the narrative grounded in public opinion, or based on a vocal minority? Results from the nationally representative Understanding American Study (UAS) parent survey shed some light.
We have been asking parents about their K-12 students' experiences since the beginning of the pandemic. During the 2020-21 school year, parents—particularly those of partially or fully remote learners—were clearly, and understandably, concerned, and measures of satisfaction with schools were low. This school year, almost all students are back in school buildings, and billions of federal dollars have flowed into the education system. Using our UAS survey, we had the opportunity to ask parents how it's going. Across the board, we found much less concern this time around.
Parents' concerns about their children's well-being have steadily decreased since fall 2020
We have surveyed parents four times during the pandemic about their concerns for their children: October 2020, when 29% had fully in-person school; April/May 2021, when 50% were in-person; June 2021, when 79% were on summer break; and October 2021, when 93% were in-person.
Across domains—overall and for all respondent subgroups—concerns in October 2021 were significantly lower than earlier time periods. For example, Figure 1 shows parents' concerns about "amount learned," disaggregated by race/ethnicity. Trends look similar for other domains of concern we asked about.
Notably, we did not observe meaningful differences in parent concerns between Democrats and Republicans. For example, 13% of Democrats and 15% of Republicans were concerned in fall 2021 about the amount their child was learning compared to during a typical year.
When we saw parents' concerns drop in summer 2021, we speculated that summer break might have been the reason (i.e., there was less concern about school during the summer). We anticipated a rise in concern once school started. That rise did not happen. Instead, concerns continued to fall and are lower now than since early in the pandemic. This evidence suggests that the relative normalcy of in-person learning this year may be driving reduced parental concerns.
Black parents remain more concerned than others as of October 2021
Despite similar patterns of diminishing concerns over time, there were some differences when we looked within subgroups, particularly comparing responses of Black and white parents. Greater proportions of Black parents were concerned about their children's progress in science (25%) and English/language arts (26%) relative to white parents (13% and 15%, respectively). More Black parents were also concerned about their children's psychological (27%) and social (25%) well-being relative to white parents (16% and 15%, respectively), and more Black parents were concerned about their children missing out on extracurricular activities (23% versus 11%).
We observed this trend even though the proportion of Black parents reporting their child was attending fully in-person in fall 2021 (89%) was far higher than in spring 2021 (36%). If concerns were purely driven by whether a child was attending in person, concerns among Black parents should have converged with those of parents of other races/ethnicities. This lack of convergence indicates Black parents remain more concerned about their children's well-being.
Satisfaction with school efforts to address pandemic effects was high, both overall and for subgroups
In fall 2021, we asked parents about their level of satisfaction with school efforts to meet their children's needs in numerous ways, including academically, socially, and in terms of mental health. Across the eight dimensions we asked about, 82% to 91% of parents were satisfied in each area (see Figure 2). The percent of "very satisfied" was generally between 35% and 45%.
This level of positivity was consistent across subgroups, including by race/ethnicity, household income, parental education level, region of the country, urbanicity, partisanship, and grade levels. In fact, the percent of satisfied parents was not lower than 75% for any subgroup. Interestingly, on whether partisan rancor during school-board meetings is representative of all parents or a vocal minority, 79% of Democrats and 80% of Republicans were satisfied or very satisfied with school efforts to adjust instruction to help children catch up from any learning losses.
Parent "grades" of school quality also demonstrate improved satisfaction
Over time, we have also asked parents to grade their children's schools on an A-F scale. We converted letter grades to numeric averages using grade point average transformations (i.e., A=4, B=3, etc.)
We compared parents' assigned letter grades this fall to what they assigned last fall. Last fall, we found that average ratings were meaningfully different depending on whether the student was attending in person or not. Table 1's first two columns show fall 2020 averages separately for families whose children were learning remotely and in-person at the time. Notably, assigned letter grades in fall 2020 among in-person students was similar to those assigned in fall 2021 overall, sometimes even exceeding the average given in 2021. These results suggest the sweeping improvements in parents' ratings of school quality and satisfaction may be driven by the return to in-person schooling (even if other factors also explain part of this pattern).
Table 1: Parents' grades of their children's schools, by child attendance mode in fall 2020 and all responses in fall 2021
Responses from fall 2020 Responses from fall 2021
Remote attendance In-person attendance Fall 2021 grades
Quality of education 2.87 3.29 3.36
Quality of feedback from teacher(s) 2.99 3.33 3.21
Keeping child engaged 2.80 3.33 3.28
Child's relationship(s) with teacher(s) 2.87 3.49 3.40
Quality of instruction in science 2.79 3.33 3.27
Quality of instruction in mathematics 2.87 3.34 3.29
Quality of instruction in ELA 2.92 3.37 3.37
Keeping students healthy 3.08 3.40 3.28
Again, parents' responses were virtually indistinguishable between Democrats and Republicans, averaging 3.3 and 3.4 on the fall 2021 quality of education, respectively.
The big picture? With the return to in-person learning, parents' satisfaction with their children's schools has rebounded, and the proportion of parents who remain concerned about their kids is dwindling. These results align with the fall 2021 538/Ipsos survey of children aged 5-18 showing that children feel largely positive about their lives at home and school.
We did not observe any significant differences between Democratic and Republican parents on any measure of concern, satisfaction, or school quality grades. These results question the veracity of the notion that parents' lingering dissatisfaction with their children's schools is a trend that has and will continue to hurt Democrats in upcoming elections, though continued school closures could of course reverse these trends.
That said, our results do suggest some racial differences in concerns and satisfaction, with Black parents more concerned about their students' academic progress than any other group. Given recent evidence about the disproportionate academic effects of the pandemic across student groups, these concerns are well founded and merit strong prioritization.

What does Watson 853 mean?
Watson 853 is an identifier code imprinted on a generic painkiller containing hydrocodone and acetaminophen. The drugs are associated with the death of the musician Prince in 2016.
Also as a side note, anyone prescribed hydrocodone, you will find absolutely 0 pain relief if you are disp the hydrocodone stamped for example "Watson 853" mfg by Actavis. Horror stories all over the internet of how these don't work.
More than 100 white capsules labeled "Watson 853" — like Vicodin, a mixture of acetaminophen and hydrocodone, a prescription drug classified as a narcotic — were hidden in Aleve and Bayer aspirin bottles and found in numerous rooms inside Paisley Park.
Where does Watson 853 come from?
Watson 853 has been a powerful drug in the realm of painkillers for quite some time … or, rather, its two main components, hydrocodone and acetaminophen, have.
First discovered in 1920 and approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1943, hydrocodone is a widely prescribed opioid drug, reaching 100 million prescriptions in 2010 alone. Acetaminophen, when most of us go to the drugstore, is Tylenol, a non-opioid saver of hungover partygoers the world over since 1877.
Combined together, hydrocodone and acetaminophen create a potent mix, prescribed for moderate to severe pain relief. Vicodin and Norco are two common trade names for the drug, which the FDA classifies as a Schedule II substance due to its high risk for abuse and addiction. Founded in the 1980s, Watson Pharmaceuticals, later Actavis and now owned by Teva, makes a generic version, with Watson 853 imprinted on the pill, hence the name.
Watson 853s were found on the scene of the musician Prince's death in April 2016. Pills of them laced with fentanyl, an extremely powerful opioid, were ruled to cause his fatal overdose.
Doctors, pharmacists, and patients are familiar with Watson 853, sometimes call Watsons, 853s, tabs, or hydros on the street. Users—and what seem to be recreational abusers—sometimes discuss a love of Watson 853 online.
If you're feeling those tequila shots the next morning, stick to the water and OTC headache medicine and avoid those long, white Watson 853s. The highly addictive drug contributes to the opioid crisis in the US, which the Centers for Disease Control estimated caused 115 overdoes every day in 2017.


I decided the monthly(ish) updates worked for me … maybe I'll get a little more frequent as we hit the last 4-6 weeks!
How far along? Today is Monday, May 18, and I'm actually 34 weeks and a few days. It is crazy how time is flying.
Total weight gain/loss: BabyCenter tells me this is when the baby gains about half a pound a week, and I can certainly feel it! I've gained about 23 pounds total since the beginning of the pregnancy now. Yes, that is about 10 pounds since my last update! I've still been watching what I eat but the baby growth has been insane. The fluid retention too … ugh. Welcome to the third trimester, the start of summer, and Houston. Yay.
Maternity clothes? I did pull off the wedding outfit I had planned at my sister's wedding at the end of April … with help from maternity Spanx and a Stitch Fix maternity camisole that essentially was a body stocking. It was so long that it covered me to mid-thigh, and it was much appreciated! Otherwise, I'm starting to move up to the fantastic third trimester sizes … one size bigger than I've been wearing all along. My pajamas don't fit, my clothes are too tight, I'm hot, and I hate getting dressed in general. Yep, right on schedule.
Family photo from the wedding, beautifully captured by Magnolia Photography. Were special.
Stretch marks? My legs will never be the same. Let's just leave it at that.
Sleep: Has become a horribly uncomfortable experience. Even with the pillows propping me up, I get breathless on my right side, sore on my left side, and all-around cranky. I also now have a regularly timed (it seems) pee break in the middle of the night. C'est la vie, ce sont les dures semaines.
Best moment this week(s): We went for an elective 3D/4D ultrasound at the end of April so the kids could see the baby. I'd never had one before, and I'd heard they can either be great or a little spooky. We lucked out and got a GREAT view of our Baby Mouse!
Movement: ALL THE TIME. Mouse still has occasional quiet days, but is definitely at the size where I can feel most movement. S/he really likes to plant feet into my right ribs, and also likes to roll from side to side. Not quite the gymnast that Nora was, but definitely a mover!
Food cravings: Warm cookies. The lack of warm cookies almost had me in tears one night, and I knew was being totally irrational and still couldn't help it. I just don't understand why people can't drop everything and find warm, fresh-baked cookies. Oh, and a Coke! Ice-cold Coke sounds WONDERFUL.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Lots of smells, including cigarette smoke in any form or fashion. I'm grateful for a current allergy attack because I can't smell things.
Gender prediction: Still thinking it's a girl, but a little less sure after that ultrasound! There are some distinctly Seth characteristics in that sweet face … but also Nora, and also Jude! We're having a hard time coming up with boy names, but now I feel more urgency to get one lined up!
Belly Button in or out? Half in, half out! This may be my first pregnancy with an outie.
Wedding rings on or off? It depends on how hot it is and whether I've been traveling. After my trips to DC and North Carolina I definitely had to take the rings off. They're back on now, but not as loose as they were.
Feeling all the Feels or Just Some of the Feels? More and more emotional. I'm over it, but I know it'll just get "enhanced" as the fatigue sets in from not sleeping well and carting around the extra weight!
Weekly Wisdom: It's really hitting me that this is my last pregnancy. The constant baby gymnastics can be exhausting, but I know for sure this is the last time I'll experience them. With Jude we were on the fence about whether we'd have another, so I tried to enjoy as much as possible. Now I know this is our last baby, so I am trying to savor the special things about pregnancy that I won't experience again.
Milestones: 40 days until my due date. WOW.
Pregnancy Fitness: I'd love to say that I'm still keeping with the yoga, but honestly … walking in general is a fitness exercise for me right now. The last month has been crazy with travel and family commitments, so I'm hoping to get at least some pieces of yoga practice in again before baby arrives. If nothing else, I'm at least doing my Hypnobabies tracks for MENTAL fitness!

News: Fat Freddy's Drop Announce New Album 'Bays'
Victoria Venardos
Fat Freddy's Drop have announced the release of their new album Bays on 23 October 2015. You can pre-order the album HERE!
After sold out shows at the Sydney Opera House earlier this year, the band are also happy to announce a full national Aussie tour hitting Down Under shores in February 2016. Their biggest headline tour in Australia to date will see the band play in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Hobart, Sydney and Brisbane. Click here for full tour details!
The predominantly studio written album draws on the lexicon of genres that have come to epitomize the bands' sound. Opening with the slow burn funk of 'Wairunga Blues', the album journeys through a hybrid of reggae, jazz with techno rhythms underpinning Freddy's signature horns and Joe Dukie's soulful and introspective vocal, arriving finally on the crooked blues jam of 'Novak'. The album exudes a confidence of a band truly comfortable in their skin.
"It's been a more creative process writing this album in the studio rather than recording songs which have been well road-tested", Freddy's vocalist Joe Dukie said.
Album single release 'Slings And Arrows' will be familiar to Freddy's fans, and an early version of another track, 'Cortina Motors', made it to a digital only release. The rest are purely new discoveries, 'Razor', 'Wheels Are Turning', 'Rookie', 'Maakan', 'Aint Going Back', 'Wairunga Blues' and 'Fish In The Sea'.
Internationally Fat Freddy's Drop reputation continues to soar. Blackbird sold over 175,000 album copies worldwide and the band currently hit over 2 million streams a month. This success is also reflected on the live stage with recent highlights selling out 10,000 capacity Alexandra Palace, London and 3x Sydney Opera House.

Headnote and flynote
Flynote:
Notice of Appeal
Competency of Appeal
Full judgment
THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA
IN THE HIGH COURT O F UGANDA
AT KAMPALA
COMMERCIAL COURT DIVISION
HCT-00-CC-OS-0005-2012
GLOBAL TRUST BANK ……..…………………………………………………..PLAINTIFF
FRANK MUGISHA ………………….……..…………………………………..DEFENDANT
BEFORE: HON MR. JUSTICE M. W. MUSENE
The plaintiff/Mortgage Global Trust Bank Limited, Filed this Application by Originating Summons under section 20 and 24 of the Mortgage Act, 2009 and O. 37 rule 4 of the Civil Procedure rules. The application was against Frank Mugisha, the Defendant/ Mortgagor. It was an application was for foreclosure and sale of the mortgage property.
The facts giving rise to the application were that sometime around 9.2.2011 the defendant obtained a loan of Shs80,000,000 from the plaintiff. The defendant mortgaged as security land situated in Block 395 Plot 1692 at Sekiunga Busiro, Musaale. As on the 4th October, 2012 the Defendant Defaulted to pay Shs126,173,356 to the plaintiff. And the plaintiff has applied to court for an order of foreclosure. The issues for consideration by this court are:-
Whether the plaintiff may exercise its right of foreclosure.
What are the remedies available.
The plaintiff/mortgage was represented by Mr. A. S. Mugenyi, while the Defendant was unrepresented. Both parties were directed by this court to file written submissions. Counsel for plaintiff submitted that the application was for determination of the defendant's liability to the plaintiff and appropriate remedies. He referred to the affidavit of Grace Karuhanga, the Legal Manager of the Plaintiff.
He added that the defendant obtained a loan of Shs80,000,000 as a credit facility. And that under clause 5 (i) of the agreement the Defendant undertook to effect monthly payments of Ugx4, 269,772/= Counsel for the plaintiff added that the said loan was secured by the defendants land comprised in Block 395, Plot 1692 situate at Sekiwunga, Busiro and that a Mortgage was registered on the Certificate of Title. Counsel for the Plaintiff further submitted that the defendant having failed to service the loan, owed the plaintiff the sum of Shs126,173,356 as for the 4th October 2012. And that since the Defendant was served with Default Notice, he does not dispute the fact that he failed to pay the loan he obtained from the plaintiff. Counsel for the Plaintiff concluded that it is now two years since the Defendant was given notice but he has not obliged.
In his written submissions, the Respondent admitted having gotten a loan of Ugasshs80,000,000/= from the plaintiff in February 2011. The respondent/Defendant also agreed that he mortgaged is home on Plot 1692 Block 395 Busiro as security to the plaintiff. He added that he paid the plaintiff a sum of Ugshs45,000,000/= at the beginning of April, 2013, through the plaintiffs lawyers, Asa Mugenyi. The defendant/Respondent attached an alleged Bank Statement to his Written Submissions. The respondent/Defendant concluded that his home should not be sold to realize the balance, but that this court should allow the restructuring of the loan payment terms.
In rejoinder, the plaintiff denied receipt of Shs45,000,000/= that the Respondent/Defendant purported to have paid to the plaintiffs lawyers. The defendant was challenged as to why he did not state so on oath or file an affidavit in reply. The authenticity of the Bank Statement in respect of the Shs45,000,000/= was also doubled as it did not state the outstanding loan balance.
This court has carefully considered all the submissions on both sides and the pleadings on record.
Under O. 37 r 4 of the Civil Procedure rules,
"Any mortgage or mortgagor, whether legal or equitable, or any person entitled to have property subject to a legal or equitable charge, or any person having the right to foreclosure or redeem any mortgage whether legal or equitable may take out as of course an originating summons, returnable to a Judge in chambers, for such a relief or the nature or kind following as may be by the summons special and as the circumstances of the case may require, that is to say, sale, foreclosure delivery of possession by the mortgagee."
As far as the circumstances of this case are concerned, the Defendant is in possession of the security he pledged to the plaintiff.
Under S. 8 (I) of the mortgage Act, Cap 229 Laws of Uganda, A mortgagee may apply to court to foreclosure the right of the mortgagor to redeem the mortgaged land any time after breach of covenant to pay. It further provides that is the mortgagor fails to pay, the court shall order that the mortgagor be foreclosed of his or her right to redeem the mortgaged land and that the land be offered by the mortgagee for sale.
And as was held in How Vs Vigures (1628) ICh Rep. 32 Foreclosure makes the mortgagee the absolute owner of the property given as security. The right to foreclose does not arise if repayment has become due at law when the legal date for redemption has passed or if the mortgage has made the money fall due on breach of any term of the mortgage. Once that happens, then the mortgagee is entitled to commence foreclosure proceedings.
In the present case, the Defendant accepts that he actually took the loan from the plaintiff/ Applicant and he deposited the land Title for Plot 1692 Block 395 Busiro as security.
And this court further find that the Defendant has not complied with the terms of the credit facility agreement as he has not paid the agreed monthly installments of Ugshs4,269,772 for the last two years despite repeated demands. The defendant's claim to have paid Shs45,000,000/= to the plaintiffs lawyers has not been proved, particularly in the absence of any receipt or acknowledgement or reflection in the Banks ledger to show the Outstanding Loan Balance.
In the premises, this court finds and holds that this is a fit and proper situation where the Applicant should exercise the right of foreclosure as the Defendant is in total breach of the credit facility Agreement.
The application is accordingly hereby allowed and the following order are made:-
The plaintiff exercises its rights of foreclosure.
The property mortgaged is to be sold to realize the amount due.
The defendant delivers vacant possession of the security or mortgaged property.
Costs of the application to the plaintiff/Applicant.
