Hoquetus (andere Schreibweisen: Hoketus, Hochetus) ist in der europäischen Musiktheorie eine Satztechnik des mehrstimmigen Satzes, später auch eine eigene Gattung in der Musik. Dabei hoquetieren zwei der Stimmen, das heißt, sie wechseln sich im raschen Tempo (meist von Note zu Note) miteinander ab, sodass eine singt bzw. spielt, während die andere pausiert. Diese Verschränkung der Stimmen führt zu einer komplementären Ergänzung. Zu den beiden Stimmen kommen gewöhnlich noch weitere, durchgehende Stimmen. Es handelt sich um eine virtuose, expressive Musik mit einem starken rhythmischen Element.

Klassische Musik
Die Anfänge des Hoquetus als Satzstruktur können bis in die Notre-Dame-Schule etwa um das Jahr 1200 zurückverfolgt werden. Im 13. Jahrhundert entwickelt sich daraus die Gattung, deren Bedeutung im 14. Jahrhundert ihren Höhepunkt erreicht. Ein Hoquetus wird in dieser Zeit von den Komponisten meistens an besonders wichtigen Stellen einer Komposition eingesetzt. Nach dem 14. Jahrhundert spielt diese Gattung nur noch eine geringe Rolle. In der Neuen Musik gibt es einige Beispiele, die diese Kompositionstechnik wieder verwenden und ihr damit eine späte Reverenz erweisen.

Die Herkunft der Bezeichnung "Hoquetus" ist nicht eindeutig gesichert. Lange Zeit ging man von einer Ableitung aus dem Altfranzösischen aus (franz. hoquet = Stoß, Schluchzer, Schluckauf). Mittlerweile wird eher eine Herkunft aus dem Lateinischen gesehen, wo (h)occ(it)are  "immer wieder schneiden, - eggen" bedeutet.

Klassische Kompositionen, die die Hoquetus-Technik verwenden:

 Guillaume de Machaut (* zwischen 1300 und 1305; † 13. April 1377): Hoquetus David (3-stimmig)
 Bohuslav Martinů, The Epic of Gilgamesh (1954/55, UA 1958): Hoquetus-Satz für die Zweikampfszene zwischen Gilgamesch und Enkidu am Ende des ersten Teils
 Louis Andriessen: Hoketus (1975) für zwei Gruppen von fünf Instrumentalisten (Panflöte, Tenorsaxophon ad libitum, Bassgitarre, Piano, E-Piano, Conga)
 Jan Dismas Zelenka: Missa Dei patris (1740/41) für Soli, Chor und Orchester, Kyrie II
 Sofia Gubaidulina: Quasi Hoquetus (1984–85) für Bratsche, Fagott (oder Cello) und Klavier
 György Ligeti: Konzert für Violine und Orchester (1990–1992), 2. Satz "Aria, Hoquetus, Choral"
 Harrison Birtwistle: Hoquetus Petrus (1995) für zwei Flöten und Piccolo Trompete
 Les Hoquets du Gardien de la Lune (1987) für Orchester
 György Kurtág:  Hoquetus für zwei Klaviere in: Játékok, erster Teil

Außereuropäische Musik
Für die afrikanische Musik führte J. H. Kwabena Nketia 1962 den englischen Begriff hocket für bestimmte musikalische Formen in der traditionellen afrikanischen Musik ein, die er in Ghana bei Ensembles für Flöten und für Elfenbeintrompeten untersuchte und zu denen auch der Jodelgesang im Wechsel mit der Eintonflöte hindewhu der zentralafrikanischen Ba-Benzele-Pygmäen gezählt wird. Seither haben sich hocket und andere, aus der europäischen Musiktheorie übernommene Begriffe zur Charakterisierung außereuropäischer musikalischer Phänomene bei Musikethnologen eingebürgert, wenn es darum geht, interkulturelle Vergleiche zu ziehen.

Hoquetus-artige vokale oder instrumentale Formen sind auch aus anderen Regionen der Welt bekannt. Ähnliche musikalische Formen in der Instrumentalmusik des indonesischen Gamelan heißen in Java imbal und in Bali kotekan. Beteiligt sind entweder zwei Buckelgongreihen (in Java: bonang, in Bali: reyong) oder zwei Metallophone (in Java: saron, in Bali: gangsa). Eine Sonderstellung nimmt der expressive Gesang beim balinesischen kecak ein.

KARMICHAEL Hunt has so impressed during his first full-on month as a Wallaby that it will force a rethink on exactly how to utilise returning weapon Kurtley Beale.
The straightforward answer is to slot Beale's savvy playmaking into inside centre and use Hunt as a super-sub to cover the two centre roles and fullback against the All Blacks on August 19.
That instantly wastes the headlong fury to Hunt's defence and his tough footballer's mindset, both invaluable assets that don't always exist across the park against the Kiwis.
Shifting Beale to a wing would be a waste and moving Hunt to outside centre would be a radical punt that would remove the line-shredding impact of Samu Kerevi once he's fit.
Hunt is delighted with his three-Test taste and will be in camp next time when Beale (hamstring) is fit after his strong stint with English club Wasps.
Hunt is also humble enough to rate himself in the same boat, as a fledgling inside centre learning the finer points, as the Wallabies at large.
"As you saw we are a pretty unfinished product at the minute," Hunt said of the 40-27 victory over Italy last Saturday.
Tackling the All Blacks in Sydney in eight weeks will be a huge step-up that Hunt wants to be a part of.
"When it comes to getting aroused for a game of footy, it's really easy to get up for a game against the best," Hunt said.
"There is plenty to work on which I see as a positive.
"When receiving the ball off kicks, we are playing a bit too much.
A rugby rookie can see "they'll kill us" with any repeat against the All Blacks yet the Wallabies seem inexorably drawn to putting themselves under pressure.
Cheika is upbeat that he's found a stout, Test-ready asset after just four hours of footy as Hunt's DNA as a hardened State of Origin rugby league performer suggested.
"He's stepped up and taken it all on with no fear of failure at all which is a great message to others," Cheika said.
Hunt knows how much improvement is still to come as an inside centre.
"There's no substitute for time in a position to form combinations and get used to the extra thinking as a second ball-player because I was fairly uncomfortable early on," Hunt said.
Hunt's excellent long pass to put Israel Folau over for a try and his good short-ball work against Fiji show there are shades to his game.
Hunt is uncertain he will see any action at No.12 for the Reds in their final two games with Duncan Paia'aua entrenched there and his own fullback jersey waiting.
"Obviously, that is where you'd like to play (centre) if that's where I am for the Wallabies but I'll see what Stilesy (Reds coach Nick Stiles) says," Hunt said.

As America returns to global respectability Britain lurches towards irrelevance
Paddy Briggs Uncategorized November 6, 2020 November 6, 2020 2 Minutes
The United Kingdom does not matter much to the United States of America these days – indeed it has not for a very long time. President Biden will be polite and perhaps a bit sentimental. But at a personal level he probably cares more about Ireland than he does about the UK as befits a man from County Louth (albeit a while back!). I suspect that his views of Britain would be the same as those of Dean Acheson nearly sixty years ago:
"Britain's attempt to play a separate power role – that is, a role apart from Europe, a role based on a 'special relationship' with the United States, a role based on being the head of a Commonwealth which has no political structure or unity or strength and enjoys a fragile and precarious economic relationship – this role is about played out."
I would like to think that Biden won the Presidency because the American electorate rejected the petty nationalism of Trump – perhaps there was a bit of that. But in truth it was simpler. The demographics of the US are changing, and this was a watershed election. A very different America is emerging – one that will be characterised not by Biden's presidency but by Kamala Harris's which will surely follow it. Neither Biden nor his "president is waiting" alongside him will want much to do with a Britain breaking itself asunder and drifting offshore from the great economic, cultural and political entity that is Europe. As Acheson presciently put it there is no "Role apart from Europe" for Britain.
Lurching to irrelevance. Losing an Empire may be regarded as a misfortune; also losing Europe looks like carelessness.
The nationalism of Trump had resonance with the nationalism of Brexiting Britain. The first foolishness will now, and quickly, disappear. Britain alone among America's allies has nationalist great power delusions. When Joe Biden has his first summit with Angela Merkel the European Flag will be as prominent as the German one – maybe more so. That's the twenty-first century reality for us as well, if only we could see it, not anachronistic memories of Roosevelt and Churchill's special relationship which was short, pragmatic and successful. Those days are long since gone.
America's future looks bright now it is no longer polluted with Orange. The move from Vulgarity to Decency and from Disarray to Competence starts today. It would be excellent if these moves could be matched in Britain. But sadly, they won't be for a very long time. As America returns to global respectability Britain lurches towards irrelevance Losing an Empire may be regarded as a misfortune; also losing Europe looks like carelessness.
Published November 6, 2020 November 6, 2020
Previous Post Trump's loyal tribe didn't desert him – that's why it was a tighter race than Biden's ultimately comfortable victory suggests.
Next Post Joe Biden will be polite, but he knows that a Britain disconnected from Europe doesn't matter much
One thought on "As America returns to global respectability Britain lurches towards irrelevance"
A splendid and accurate analysis. Thank you. It is indeed very sad to see the Uk and America diverge but it's the only conclusion that makes any sense. Johnson I suspect will be scrambling to salvage some credibility with the EU in his phone call on Saturday with Ursula von der Lyen. I suspect he has been waiting for this US election result before making any trade deal. Britain is now truly out in the cold. The leave vote will be keeping a very low profile in future. At long last, the worm has turned.

Newbury Town Council is reaching out to young people to take part in a short survey to have their say on matters that affect them.
In a bid to help improve serviced to young people in the town, the Council intends to start a conversation involving young people to share their views, ideas and opinions to influence future activities, events and opportunities in and around Newbury.
The survey asks young people to name three things which Newbury could do, or do better, for young people living in the town, with the intention to work with the Council in making changes for the better and that the views of young people can be addressed.
The launch of the survey is being supported by Berkshire Youth. David Seward, CEO, said: "Berkshire Youth are really excited to be supporting this survey. It is so important that Young People can feel part of the town and having a hand in the vision for the future is essential, Newbury is a great place to grow up but could be even better if we embrace the views of all the citizens of the town. This is a great opportunity for young people to get involved and we encourage all children and young people to participate."
Martin Colston, Leader of the Council, said: "The Town Council is very concerned about the significant cuts in youth services over the last few years. That's why our strategy provides much needed support for organisations that deliver youth work in Newbury. In addition to youth work we want to understand what our young people would most like Newbury to do or provide for them, and that's why we're launching this simple survey. I'm really looking forward to hearing what our young people would really like."
All young people are being encouraged to take part in this survey and share their feedback, good or bad, by following the link below:

Fright Exclusive Interview With LOCKER 13/MONSTER SQUAD Star Jon Gries!
Jon Gries has had quite the career so far, playing many characters that fans adore all around the world. Ask any horror (on non-horror fan as well to be perfectly honest) to name one of their favorite monster movies from the '80s and more times than not, one of their answers will include Fred Dekker's THE MONSTER SQUAD, in which Gries played "Desperate Man", a character that never failed to get vicious and hairy when the moon came out. Other film roles, like REAL GENIUS, NAPOLEON DYNAMITE and the TAKEN films have kept Gries constantly working, and his status as one of the hardest working character actors around is legendary. We were able to chat with Jon for a bit, to talk about his role in the TWILIGHT ZONE-like anthology, LOCKER 13, and as expected, it was definitely a pleasure. Read on!
First off, LOCKER 13 has an old-school vibe to it, somewhat reminiscent of THE TWILIGHT ZONE or a less scary TALES FROM THE CRYPT, what attracted you into being a part of it?
That's a very very good question. It's funny you say that, because I was recently doing another interview, and he asked me "why did you end up doing it?" and the very first thing that I said was "Rod Serling". I have older brothers, and as a kid, I used to try to stay up with my brothers and watch "NIGHT GALLERY" with them. Even thought I was really young, I REALLY loved it, and I loved the idea of a guy walking up and talking about stuff. Maybe this is a different spin on that, with him being a cowboy and I love the fact that he's a janitor and caretaker, even though he acts like he's a sheriff. There was room for kind of a "sweet" characterization, you know?
Yeah totally. Speaking of that role, it's a different kind of character for you, a side that fans haven't gotten to see much. That kind of got me thinking about the wide variety of roles that you've played in your career, what plays into you choosing a role?
This particular role, I chose for exactly that reason. I had never done anything like this, and they sent me the script and asked me to do it, and we talked on the phone. I instantly liked them, and they showed me the episodes that they had shot and edited together, that I'd be referring to and I thought they were well done and well acted. You don't want to get into a situation with new people who don't really know how to approach a narrative. We've all done it, and especially with actors who have been around a while, you get into a project and realize "wow, these people are lost", you know?
These guys were really spot on, and that interested me, as well as playing that kind of character. I'm more interested in things I haven't done before, instead of just playing the same roles I have.
Recently, Scream Factory released TERROR VISION to Bluray for the first time, and since then, the film's kind of had a second life. A lot of newer fans are getting into it, and much like THE MONSTER SQUAD or NAPOLEON DYNAMITE, it's kind of become a cult classic. What is it about those films that you feel really resonated with audiences?
Yeah, that's cool. These are good questions! I've got to check out your site, I really like your questions. I will tell this: there's a reason that 'midnight cinema' is such a cult thing. I'm a huge fan of that. As a kid, I used to watch all of the classic black and white films and I loved film, but when I got into high school, those 'midnight movies' like EL TOPO or THE GROOVE TUBE, THE HARDER THEY COME, or ERASERHEAD, were all playing, and I LOVED going to see those movies. It felt like such an event. UP IN SMOKE, with Cheech and Chong, movies like that always had something that wasn't mainstream, and that was exciting for me, I was like "Wow, this is really edgy!". Ever since then, I've always been a fan of that kind of "genre", and I find myself gravitating towards that. I like it, I like being "Ed Wood" in my own right. I like sometimes, being in cheesy weirdness. It makes me excited that TERROR VISION has been rediscovered, because to me, it was always THAT kind of movie, it was so tongue in cheek and fun, off the wall you know?
Oh yeah, I agree. I love that movie. As a kid, I was completely in love with THE MONSTER SQUAD, and now that it's been released on DVD and Bluray, it's become one of those staple films for my kids as well. It's a movie that doesn't age.
It holds its own. It's a really wonderful premise, and it's sad that the film didn't do better, when it was originally released. I was surprised, because I thought the film was going to be a knockout, a big hit..I think everybody who was involved in the film did, especially Peter Hyams, who produced it. Peter was the reason that I got in the movie, I had done RUNNING SCARED with Peter Hyams directing it. He basically just walked me in, and said "Fred Dekker", here's your guy. It was very kind of him, very sweet. I was never knocked out with my performance as "The Desperate Man", but I'm kind of a perfectionist. As an actor, I try to leave it open to whatever craziness happens in the moment, but at the same time, I like to feel like I'm well prepared and with that one, I just didn't feel like I was on the mark.
It's interesting that you feel that way, because tons of fans of that film, including myself couldn't disagree more (laughs). You're great in that movie man.
That's very sweet of you to say.
Throughout your career, you've worked with so many great directors, you mentioned Peter Hyams, Fred Dekker, and you've worked with many other really awesome people. Is there and filmmaker in particular that you've yet to work with, but really want to?
Yes, definitely. Unfortunately, in the time I've been around, there were these guys who've disappeared. Some of the older greats, like Sydney Pollack, I've always thought would have been great to work with. Nowadays, I'd say people like the Coen brothers, I love their stuff, they're clearly wonderful filmmakers. I love Stephen Frears, and I did do a very small part with him in THE GRIFTERS, but I love his work. Lars Von Trier is another one, and all of those guys are just heavyweights, who are all incredible.
I showed my wife Von Trier's NYMPHOMANIAC recently, and she was really taken back by it, it was a funny thing to look over at her and see her mouth open.
I saw that, but I don't particular think it's his better work. The one he did before that, about the planets, uh..
MELANCHOLIA?
Yeah! I loved that one, it was just a masterpiece.
Yeah I loved MELANCHOLIA too. I just have one more question for ya, I'm completely anxious to see Riley Stearn's FAULTS, you're in that one, right? Could you tell us a bit about your role in the film?
My role wasn't very big in the film, but Leland Orser..he is just so amazing in that film. What's funny is that Leland and I keep crossing paths, we were both in THE PRETENDER series, and he lives a block away from me, so we always see each other every day (laughs). We're always working together, and man, he is so unbelievable in that film. Riley Stearn's direction, and writing is incredible and Mary Winstead who plays the lead girl, also gives a phenomenal performance. I don't really have a huge role in it, but it's really interesting subject matter. One of the reasons I was drawn to it, aside from Leland Orser and loving to work with him, is that I get to play a different character that I haven't gotten to play. I would've loved to have had more of a direct involvement in the film, because it's just a great psycho-thriller.


Baby blues or postnatal depression?
Many women and some men suffer from difficult feelings following the birth of a baby. We know that the hormones in a woman's body are adjusting to the recent changes to do with labour and breastfeeding. To a large extent, this explains the overwhelming emotions that affect mothers in the first few days and weeks after birth. Tearfulness, worry about the baby and irritability effect the vast majority of women. Feelings can be very mixed, with elation and steep dips in mood following each other in quick succession.
It is not surprising that new parents find it very difficult and confusing, as they come to terms with the huge responsibilities associated with a baby. It is impossible to imagine beforehand how sleep deprivation coupled with the steep learning curve of parenthood will feel. This emotional rollercoaster in the early days after the birth is what we usually think of as the 'baby blues', it can be quite normal and will pass as confidence grows. Partners, family or friends may be well placed to help new parents manage through this time by talking or giving space to reflect and rest.
For some parents and their babies, postnatal depression is more devastating. It can last far beyond the first few months after the birth, sometimes for years and have a more profound effect on thoughts, behaviour and feelings. Heightened anxiety and obsessive thoughts about things like the baby's health, or being out of the house are common symptoms. Lack of motivation, a sense of numbness, loss of appetite and disturbed sleep are also signs that things are not right. For some men and women, perhaps because it is their first baby, there is a deep sadness, regret or anger about the life they now have. There may be a sense of bereavement as they mourn the loss of the life they had before.
For any parent to even admit to such negative feelings in relation to their baby, is almost impossible and yet in many ways it is a natural part of this transition period. In trying to ignore or repress such feelings there is a real danger that depression can set in, as to deny such feelings is to deny a part of yourself. Fortunately, postnatal depression responds extremely well to talking treatments such as counselling. Sometimes medication is helpful for a short period in order to cope. For a few women, postnatal depression can develop into an extreme form of psychosis and requires urgent medical treatment, so that both mother and child are kept safe. The GP or emergency services are the most appropriate first step in these cases, though counselling or therapy is usually part of the treatment plan as well.
Postnatal depression takes many forms, but conflicted feelings in relation to parenthood are usually at the source. Often this can be to do with the upbringing experienced by the mother herself, which may not even be in conscious memory. Sometimes motherhood brings up long standing relationship issues between a daughter and her parents, especially her own mother. A difficult birth, a premature baby or any separation immediately after the birth, are all common triggers for postnatal depression, as they interfere with the usual bonding and attachment process.
It is important to seek help if things don't start to improve. Research shows that the mental health of the primary carer is of crucial importance to the baby's development, especially in the early period. Babies need the interaction that comes from attentive, loving parenting; warmth, smiles, eye contact, touching and varied tone of voice. Whilst generally all postnatal depressed women love their babies, it can be hard to offer the responsiveness that babies need when feeling desperately low or anxious. Postnatal depression makes it really difficult to enjoy or take pleasure in anything and sadly that can include the baby itself.
Having another parent or carer around to offer this special interaction with the baby is very important. 'Faking it' has been shown to work quite well too! Faking smiles and enjoyment in relation to the baby, even though it is not coming naturally yet, help with the baby's social development and can also help parents themselves to feel better. This talking and playing together is best done little and often, whilst trying to follow the baby's cues, (they will look away when they need a break and look back when ready for more). Simple action rhymes or baby massage are lovely ways for babies to feel they are getting your full attention and can help parents feel more relaxed too.
Parenthood, in general, raises unsettling questions about identity. The change in lifestyle, potentially leading to isolation and loss of status, is challenging to emotional health, as previous coping strategies are lost or don't work in the new situation. Time is no longer structured, there is no end to the responsibility of care taking and the rewards are difficult to grasp. For many parents, the period after the birth of a new baby is a challenging period of transition, but for some, the stress triggers a deeper more serious depression. Postnatal depression is very common, but largely hidden, due to the shame and confusion felt by the mothers, who feel they ought to be happy.
Depression, or other unmanageable feelings after the birth of a baby, are not limited to mothers. New fathers can experience similar overwhelming emotions because they too are going through a massive shift of emphasis in their life. The focus is now on the baby and away from the parents' relationship and the individual needs of each adult. Parenthood is a life changing experience for both men and women which requires a period of adjustment. It may not be the way you expected or hoped it would be and that can be very disappointing and frustrating at first. Hoping and waiting for things to go back to the way they were before is not the answer, because once you have a child, they never will. Whether you are suffering from the 'baby blues' or a more serious case of postnatal depression, parenthood really does not need to be an obstacle to happiness. However intense, exhausting and emotionally draining it is, with the right help and support there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Haynes Galleries presents "Rooftops: Big Cities and Small Towns" featuring the work of Nicholas M. Raynolds and Bennett Vadnais March 14 to April 12, 2014
NASHVILLE— As the classic song goes, "On the roof, it's peaceful as can be / And there the world below can't bother me." The Drifters were on to something. And so are the artists Bennett Vadnais and Nicholas M. Raynolds, whose paintings are featured in "Rooftops: Big Cities and Small Towns," a vignette show that accompanies "The Landscape: Views and Variations." All exhibits will be on view from March 14 to April 12 at Haynes Galleries, on the Music Row Roundabout.
This show within a show juxtaposes the vast urban landscape of New York, which Vadnais calls home, with the more intimate residential neighborhoods in Raynolds' hometown of Asheville, N.C. The results are unexpected, compelling and surprisingly beautiful.
Vadnais' work is an ode to city living — gritty scenes, carefully rendered with an attention to detail reminiscent of the Dutch Masters. He balances precision and emotion, permanence of place and transience of light. To familiarize himself with his subject, Vadnais does sketches and studies en plein air and then returns to his studio, where he painstakingly crafts each painting in layer upon layer of translucent acrylics. In his hands, post-industrial landscapes become luminous works of art.
Raynolds coaxes drama and intrigue from the quiet neighborhoods of Asheville. His is an unvarnished landscape, complete with crowded rooftops and power lines, weathered paint and back alleys. Though his subjects are imperfect, his technique is anything but. His brushstrokes evoke motion and emotion. His mastery of light imbues his paintings with longing and mystery. His spaces are at once real and immediate, raw and wistful. Each painting beckons the viewer to create his own narrative.
At Haynes Galleries, these rooftop scenes are real, immediate, raw and wistful. Vadnais and Raynolds turn their brushes to a perspective that is often overlooked — an oasis amid the chaos of day-to-day life. As The Drifters would say, "Right smack dab in the middle of town / I've found a paradise that's trouble proof / Up on the roof."

Consists of personal and working papers of Cobo Borda, a Colombian poet, essayist, journalist, and diplomat, primarily manuscript poems and essays as well as correspondence, spanning the period from 1970 to 2017. There are also manuscripts of speeches and interviews, nonfiction works, documents, photographs, a few papers of others, scrapbooks, and a small amount of printed material.
The collection consists of personal and working papers of Juan Gustavo Cobo Borda, Colombian poet, journalist, and diplomat: notebooks, manuscripts of poems, nonfiction writings, speeches and interviews, correspondence, documents, photographs, papers of others, and printed material.
The collection primarily contains manuscript poems, nonfiction, and speeches and interviews, dating from the 1970s to 2011, and correspondence from 1969 through 2011. The strengths of the collection are the autograph and typescript manuscript poems which document the author's creative process in writing poetry, numerous nonfiction manuscripts on primarily Colombian literature and art, and correspondence with other Latin American authors.
Cobo Borda's poetry in manuscript form includes poems which are included in the anthologies Todos los poetas son santos, published by Fondo de Cultura Económica in 1977, and El animal que duerme en cada uno y otros poemas, published by El áncora Editores in 1995. The poems in the collection which are labeled "Poeta en Tokio" probably appear in published form in Poemas orientales y bogotanos (1991). There are also manuscript poems for two books, Furioso amor and Amor absoluto, tentatively scheduled for publication in 1997. Of his nonfiction books, there are manuscripts for Obregón (on Colombian painter Alejandro Obregón), Fabulas y leyendas de El Dorado, Cultura y violencia a través de la obra de García Márquez, and Desocupado lector.
In his role as director of the cultural magazine Eco from 1973-1984, Cobo Borda corresponded with many Latin American writers and cultural figures. Representative authors in the Correspondence series are Octavio Paz, Mario Vargas Llosa, Gabriel García Márquez, Germán Arciniegas, literary critics Angel Rama, Rafael Gutiérrez Girardot and Martha Canfield, Argentinian novelists Manuel Puig and Angélica Gorodischer and poet Enrique Molina, Colombian novelists Darío Ruiz Gómez and Darío Jaramillo Agudelo, and poets and essayists José Emilio Pacheco, José Kozer, Juan Liscano, Elkin Restrepo, Alvaro Mutis, Guillermo Sucre, and José Luis Díaz Granados. The collection also includes a large amount of correspondence with publishers, editors, and literary agents. Publishing firms represented in the correspondence include Editorial Seix Barral, Fondo de Cultura Económica, and El áncora and Monte Avila Editores. There is substantial correspondence with publishers or editors Pere Gimferrer, Jaime García Terrés, Vicente Gerbasi, Eugenio Montejo, and others.
The collection also includes curriculum vitae of J. G. Cobo Borda; photographs of Cobo Borda and others covering the period 1985-1996; a few papers of others, most notably, seven nonfiction articles by José Bianco, dated 1973-1984; and printed material, including published poems of Cobo Borda and several articles about the author.
Furthermore, there is a series of unprocessed/minimally processed additional papers which contain notebooks, manuscripts, general and diplomatic correspondence, photographs, video cassettes, audio cassettes, scrapbooks, and miscellaneous materials.
Juan Gustavo (J. G.) Cobo Borda was born in Bogotá, Colombia, in 1948. His primary, secondary, and university education was obtained in Bogotá. He studied at two universities there: Universidad de los Andes and Universidad Nacional from 1966 to 1970. He was a manager of the Librería Buchholz (a bookstore) in Bogotá from 1970 to 1975. Cobo Borda has been a published poet since the early 1970s ( Consejos para sobrevivir, 1974) and since the mid-1970s, he has pursued a career in government service while writing poetry and essays, and directing two magazines, Eco and Gaceta, in the period, 1973-1984. He also founded and directed the magazine Revista Cancilleria de San Carlos (No. 1-No. 14) from 1990 to 1992.
Cobo Borda began his career in government by serving as assistant to the director of the Instituto Colombiano de Cultura (Bogotá) from 1975 to 1978. He was appointed subdirector of the Biblioteca Nacional (National Library) from 1978 to 1982. In 1983, he was named "Agregado Cultural" (cultural attaché) for the Embassy of Colombia in Argentina. He worked and resided in Buenos Aires, Argentina, from 1983 to 1989. In 1990, he returned to Bogotá to work as subdirector of Cultural Affairs for the Ministry of Foreign Relations of Colombia, and in 1992, he was named cultural attaché for the Embassy of Colombia in Madrid, Spain. He served in Spain from 1992 to 1994. In 1994, he was appointed "Asesor Cultural" (cultural advisor) by the incoming president of Colombia, Ernesto Samper Pizano (1994-).
J. G. Cobo Borda was elected to permanent membership in the Academia Colombiana de la Lengua in 1993. In addition to having written many books of poetry and essays, he has written extensively for newspapers and literary magazines published in Latin America and Spain. He also founded and directed the magazine Gaceta from 1975 to 1982, published by the Instituto Colombiano de Cultura in Bogotá, Colombia. He also served as director of the magazine Eco, published by the Librería Buchholz in Bogotá, from 1973 to 1984. The author currently lives in Bogotá and is married to an Argentinian, Griselda Díaz. He has two daughters, Natalia (from an earlier marriage) and Paloma, born in 1993.
Juan Gustavo Cobo Borda sent some of his papers to be on deposit at the University in the mid-1980s. In 1985, the University began purchasing shipments of his papers at regular intervals.

If you are a regular reader of Dubsism, you know we've covered the Jerry Sandusky case in detail. Back in July, after the release of the Freeh Report, we released an exhaustive review of that report. While there was much blame to go around, one of the key questions we asked at the time was why was former Penn State president Graham Spanier not facing any criminal charges for his conduct in this case? From our findings, we outlined ten reasons why Spanier needed to face some type of sanction, if not outright criminal charges.

Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation
I propose to take Questions Nos. 233 to 237, inclusive, together.
Regional development remains a key priority of mine as Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation. Through my Department and its Enterprise Agencies, I am focused on strengthening investment and job creation all over the country. In 2018, 56% of all net new jobs created by IDA Ireland were in locations outside Dublin. Similarly, every region in Ireland posted net gains in jobs last year. There are now over 132,000 people employed across 681 firms in IDA client companies outside the capital. In fact, 58% of all IDA-supported employment is now outside of Dublin. This represents the highest number of people employed in the regions by IDA clients in the Agency's history. The strength of the IDA's recent mid-year results for 2019 indicates that we can continue to rely on the selling points that make investing in the regions so attractive in the first place with the technology, financial services and pharmaceutical sectors performing extremely well.
Kildare and Wicklow are part of IDA Ireland's East & Mid -East region. There are 29 IDA supported client companies in County Kildare, which collectively employ 8,838 people - representing an increase of 4.5% over the previous year. IDA clients such as Intel, Pfizer, and Procter and Gamble are all located in Kildare and continue to perform well. FDI levels in Wicklow are also trending in the right direction. The County saw a 17% increase in FDI employment last year, with 388 net new jobs added by IDA client companies.
IDA Ireland's South-East region includes Counties Kilkenny, Waterford and Carlow. There are currently five IDA client companies located in Kilkenny employing a total of 711 people which represents an 8% increase since 2015. County Waterford has 38 IDA client companies employing approximately 7,100 people, representing an increase of 3% over last year with 374 net new jobs added. There are currently seven IDA client companies operating in Co. Carlow employing a total of 1,150 people. Last year alone, the number of IDA supported jobs in Carlow increased by 31% with 275 net new jobs added. A further boost to the County was MSD's announcement late last year that it plans to construct a second manufacturing facility at its existing site in Carlow with the creation of 170 new jobs.
County Galway is part of the IDA's West region and is home to a strong base of multinational companies. There are 81 IDA clients in the County employing 19,969 people, which represents an increase of almost 8% over last year. Galway has developed into a focused global centre of FDI activity providing knowledge intensive services for global companies such as Boston Scientific, Medtronic, HP and CISCO.
Table (A) outlines the employment figures for the years 2015-2018. Figures for 2019 will not be available until the end of the year. Data on IDA-supported jobs is collated on a county-by-county basis. Information on the number of jobs in specific towns and locations is therefore unfortunately unavailable. Table (B) outlines site visits to the respective counties from 2015 to Q1 2019. Whilst site visits are an important tool in helping showcase regional locations to investors, it is important to remember that the final decision as to where to invest rests solely with the company concerned. It is also the case that site visit activity does not necessarily reflect investment potential, as a significant proportion of all new foreign direct investment comes from existing IDA clients already present in the country. Investments by IDA clients are released as national figures only and Table (C) outlines the number of these investments won from 2014 to 2018.

March 1 marked the day after my nephew's due date and the start of a crazy fundraising campaign for Douglas County Young Life. So much has happened since that day.
T H E . H O S P I T A L .
Around 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 5, I received the text from my sister Rosie that she was in labor. Immediately I called her, made arrangements for Lydia, picked up Rosie's dog from their house, ran by home, pumped, and was at the hospital by 10:30 p.m. My nephew, Joel Michael, was born on Wednesday, March 6 in the early afternoon. I had the honor of being in the labor and delivery room, at Rosie's side, through it all.
Luke and Rosie wept at the sight of him.
Immediate joy filled the room.
I walked out of the room to the waiting room. At this point I hadn't slept in 30-some hours, or eaten much, or pumped. I didn't realize how badly my head was throbbing. Would I do it again? Yes. One million times over, yes.
B A C K . H O M E .
Later that evening, after a much-needed afternoon nap, I was feeding Lydia her dinner. Kevin was out of town until the next day and it's fair to say I was completely exhausted. Instead of eagerly eating each bite until she became disinterested, Lydi started grabbing the spoon, yanking it with her way-too-strong grip, tossing food everywhere, crying, and throwing a fit. Sleep deprived and low on patience, I raised my voice at her, attempting to pull the spoon back from her strong grip. She took one look at me in confusion and sadness before erupting into a full-on meltdown.
my daughter displayed her first signs of toddler.
It wasn't until the next day, after a full night of sleep, after Kevin got home from traveling, that I was able to put words to my emotions in that moment. As I processed the birth of my nephew, I realized that my baby is no longer a baby.
Well, she is, technically. At 10-months old, she was still two months away from being considered a "toddler" by definition and, trust me, I'm savoring this time. But nevertheless, it hit me, this past month, that indeed my season of life with my first baby as a baby is coming to an end.
I prayed for a lot of grace, patience, and the ability to love Lydia for who she is in the stage she's in, never wishing she was in a stage that passed or a stage to come. But loving who she is now.
I love that she voices opinions and preferences.
I love that she's so close to walking.
I love that she's so curious, constantly on the move and getting into anything and everything.
I love that she's so aware of people around her, looking to share and play whenever she can.
The grace to acknowledge that my season of her as a baby is coming to an end helps me to love her better where she's at now. Acceptance gives me patience with her every time she throws a fit during mealtime or diaper changes. The peace amist time moving forward has allowed me to not be so insecure, wondering if her behavior is a reflection of me, but instead laughing off what's outside of my control and commit to truly parenting her.
In this renewed mentality, I have the freedom to love her for who she is and not who I wish her to be.
M A R C H . O N .
I started a playlist that I've been listening to on repeat that I titled March On. It served as the subtle reminder to keep going with the fundraising campaign. To keep going during the hours of schoolwork late at night as I hope to finish my Master's degree this May. To keep going as I try to squeeze in my two workouts per week, attempting to stay healthy. To keep going while I work from home, maximizing every millisecond of Lydi's naptime.
This month seemed like a grind, but now that it's over and I look back, I am in shock and awe at God's provision.
I witnessed our Lord provide an additional $22,000 in funding support for Douglas County Young Life from over 65 different people.
I celebrated a beautiful gender reveal party for one of my best friends, Keely, whose journey has included three consecutive miscarriages.
I've seen my sister thrive as a new momma, overcoming the adversity of being a new parent, and experience the joy of motherhood.
I've celebrated birthdays, engagements, milestones, pregnancy announcements of dear friends, and more. Time is moving forward, and, in joy, so will I.
It is worth marching on.
You are 30 years old today.
I remember when you were 20 years old. That's when I met you. Back then you were really just a kid. I was too. I was only 18. You caught my eye then, but I never imagined who you would become.
I never imagined the way you would pursue me.
The way you would chase after God's will for your life with a relentless drive.
I never imagined you would save every penny from your first real job to buy me a ring.
That you would buy that dang ring as soon as you could and propose almost two years before you knew we'd be married.
I never imagined you'd get down on one knee, in front of the entire ministry that we held so dear to our hearts and ask me to marry you.
I never knew that we would travel Europe, backpack through national parks, road trip across the country, and spend summers at Young Life camp.
I never knew that we would build a life in Lawrence.
That we would a buy a home and start to make it our own.
That we would adopt the world's weirdest and most timid dog.
I never knew how many softball games you'd sit through.
That you would make me coffee every morning and hold me every night.
That we would say yes to a life of ministry, challenging each other daily to give our lives away.
You never lose sight of Jesus.
but also, how many times you'd make me laugh.
I never knew the way you would fight for me to pursue my dreams.
You are my constant encourager and my biggest fan.
I wouldn't be half the woman I am today without you.
I never knew the way you would be at my side, calming me through childbirth.
I didn't let you leave my side the whole time—not that you wanted to.
That experience taught me that your voice is the loudest in my life.
Your voice is louder than the pain I feel on the hard days.
I never knew the way you would weep when you saw our daughter, Lydia, for the first time.
I never knew the way our daughter would look at you.
You are such a good Daddy.
You are 30 years old today, and I am so proud of who you are.
You are a man of integrity.
You are a man who fights your sin.
You are a man who sees the brokenness in the world and fights for justice.
You are wise, you seek knowledge, you seek truth.
but no one respects you more than I do.
I see what no one else sees.
I see the way you hide away early in the morning and late at night to spend time with Jesus.
I admire that and often wish I had a faith like yours.
I see the way you prioritize Lydia and I, even when outside voices are the loudest.
You choose to drown them out to be still with us.
So here's to the next 10, the next 30, or Lord willing the next 60 years.
Let's lock arms and grow old together.
There's no other man I'd choose to spend the rest of my life with.
Thanks for being my partner, my lover, and my best friend.
Let's continue on this crazy ride as parents.
Let's take on more house projects we regret.
Let's keep chasing the next generation of college students, sharing Jesus with them, and caring for them regardless of their response.
Let's keep serving in our church every Sunday we can.
Let's keep fighting for our marriage to be first.
Let's keep chasing Jesus and selling out for His kingdom.
and never forget that the best is yet to come.
Happy birthday, Kevin. I love you.
In pregnancy… just wait until you are further along! Just wait until childbirth. Just wait until the arrival. And then your life will change.
And as my husband and I would celebrate Lydia's milestones as she got closer to mobility, such as rolling over or pulling her knees up, again we'd hear from so many parents who have gone before us, just wait until she's mobile. And then your life will change.
To be completely honest, I've gotten so tired of hearing the phrase just wait from both friends and strangers, that I'm now trying to take that phrase out of my vocabulary as I talk with other friends who are pregnant or new mommas.
Is there not always something next? Having two kids together? The terrible toddler years? The teenager years? Just wait.
L E N S . M A T T E R S .
Social media gets a lot of criticism. People claim that it's a pit for comparison where people only share the "highlights" of their life. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to pretend like I haven't scrolled through Instagram stuck in that very same comparison pit. But one thing I've wondered: is putting your highlights on social media all that bad? What I'm getting at here is, in an effort to share the joys of my life in a creative expression on social media, I am making a conscious effort to focus on the positives in my life. Yes, it may have been a stressful day, but my baby's smile made me laugh, and that's what I would like to choose to celebrate and choose to focus on.
Lens matters. What lens do we view our life? Do we focus on the positives, or the negatives?
It seems that when it comes to having a mobile baby, most people focus on the negatives.
It's impossible to get anything done.
You'll have no time to yourself.
You can't take your eye off her.
What about all the positives?
My daughter is exploring the world!
She's growing and getting stronger!
My charge is this: As we go through life transitions, and listen to other people's reactions to them, let's put their perspectives into perspective.
See, it's not just having a mobile baby. Countless told me that marriage would be hard. After all, its famous nickname is the ball and chain! Well, I'm almost six years in and I'm still trying to figure out when I'm going to discover the "hard" that everyone talked about.
Don't get me wrong, marriage can be messy, and our relationship takes work. Just like in parenthood, there are times when Lydia's mobility has been inconvenient. I have to be more flexible in my days and willing to ask others for help to make sure the work gets done. But the joy of marriage and the joy of motherhood far outweighs any of the bad. In fact, I can't even compare the two.
The joy, hope, and peace that comes from a life in Christ Jesus, because of His life, death, and resurrection, transcends all understanding. That's what I choose to focus on.
F I L T E R . O U T .
As Philippians 4:8 tells us, let us think about the things excellent and praiseworthy. Just as we change the filter on our photos to bring in better lighting, let us filter out the negative thoughts and voices that fill our mind, and choose to focus on the positives.
I'm not saying to be ingenuine or display an unrealistic life. We must own every emotion that we feel, positive or negative, and work through and process those. But I am saying that it's OK to celebrate the highlights and to place your focus on the positives. You may just find yourself loving your life more, finding peace, and experiencing the very One who enables it all.
Ask yourself, what lens do I view this transition or circumstance in my life? A life-altering challenge for the worse, or an exciting adventure?
Don't just wait for the circumstances to change, better or worse. Embrace the today you are living, and understand that the present is a gift, even in the mess.
As soon as Lydia learned to crawl, she started pulling up. Her upward mobility reminds me to see mobility, as well as many other changes in life, with the positive lens.
There is something in us all that loves the idea of a New Year. Perhaps it's because God is in the business of making things new. The New Year is an opportunity for us to turn the page, set goals, and dream dreams of what could be.
This New Year's Eve was very nostalgic for me for several reasons. Mostly because I thought a lot about where I was exactly a year ago and how different life is now. I was halfway through my pregnancy and, by way of a New Year's Eve, all-out gender reveal, we found out that we were having a girl and named her Lydia Evelyn.
This year, I spent New Year's Eve at Young Life Camp with my 7-month-old, beautiful, healthy, mobile and joyful baby, Lydia Evelyn.
Not only was 2018 about realizing and living into a call of motherhood, but for those who have followed my journey, you know that it was also a year of me taking a leap of faith and pursing a call into full-time ministry. After a long ten months of trusting God in 2018 with no idea where obedience would lead, being unsure if this path would equate to an actual job, the Lord provided a position within Young Life working part-time from home as the Young Life College Midwest Divisional Admin. It seemed only fitting, then, that I spent New Year's Eve literally living out this calling, working as a Camp Director for a student weekend at Young Life's Clearwater Cove while having a baby in arms through it all!
L I S T E N .
I struggle to sit still. As an achiever, I thrive on busyness and completing tasks. Even "rest" for me involves listening to a podcast while folding laundry. And, might I add, having a mobile baby and a new job doesn't make finding time to rest any easier! So, I've been finding ways to trick myself into sitting still. (Whatever works, right?) My latest trick has been painting my nails. After you paint your nails, what do you do? You have to sit still to let your nails dry. If you try to do anything too quickly after, they chip. So, I packed my nail polish to camp. And, during one of Lydia's naps, I painted my nails to keep me from doing anything else, from touching my phone, or computer, or even my pen. I pulled up a chair by the window, overlooking the lake, letting my nails dry, and just sat still.
So, as I sat down and asked the Lord for a word or phrase or vision for 2019, the word that came out of nowhere that He placed on my heart was the word: support.
L I V E .
As I prayed into this word "support" more, sitting still and overlooking the lake, I felt the peace of God. In 2018, I relied on others for an immense amount of support. Multiple baby showers and help through the last half of pregnancy, preparing for a baby, and not to mention child birth and recovery! I let others serve me and accepted numerous meals and gifts. My husband Kevin was my chief encourager, reminding me to trust God in pursuing full-time ministry, even when I doubted. Regularly, he encouraged me to finish my master's degree, reminding me that it will be worth it, and meanwhile serving me relentlessly so that I could do so. Kevin has truly laid down his life for me this past year, as God calls all husbands to do in Ephesians 5:25, supporting me through pregnancy, postpartum, and job transitions.
And now, feeling like I have settled into a routine, a new lifestyle, and a new calling, with joy I get to recognize that it's my time to give back and to support those around me.
Supporting Lydia will take much more of my attention now that she's mobile. Productive hours have dwindled down to when she's asleep or with a babysitter, and you know what, that's OK. I have the privilege of letting go of expectations and enjoying her for the few hours of awake time I get with her each day, knowing that the work will always get done.
Another dream for 2019 is being able to support my husband more this year. He also has dreams of graduate school through seminary, and I want to be able to offer him the same support that he has offered me through these last few years. I want to help him to have the space that he needs to work, read, study, and do the things that give him life. Such is marriage, I know that there will be seasons where one of us has greater needs. I am determined in, as much as I can control, to make this year the one where I get to serve and support him.
And last but not least, I want to support my ministry, my friends, and extended family. I want to love people well. But like, really well. I want to celebrate people's birthdays and accomplishments and milestones with a party. I want to be generous in hospitality. I want to serve without reservations. I want to attack the bitterness in my mind and be the first to see that it's a "me-issue" and love even those that are hard to love.
May I let the love of Christ control me as I strive to pursue what it means to support others in my life. Just as He, who lived a perfect and holy life, died for me, may I no longer live for myself, but live for Him who created me, saved me, and sustains me.
As Lydia turns six months old, I have been reflecting on a few things I've learned over this past half-year about myself in light of who God is. Here are six things in honor of celebrating six months of Lydia's life.
He still wants all of my heart.
It's truly hard to put into words how I feel about my daughter. The best way I can think to explain it must start with the reminder that she was once a literal part of me. I was pregnant with Lydia for nine months. I felt her grow inside of me. The same way that I feel a oneness with the Spirit of God who lives inside of me, I felt one with Lydia. I felt her move and felt connected emotionally, mentally, and spiritually to her. As we spent that time bonding while she was in my womb, she truly felt like a part of me, and that feeling didn't go away when she was born. She was set on my chest after birth and it still felt like she was a part of me. Even now, when I nurse her or she lays on my skin, I sense that same connection. So naturally, it's not easy to be away from her. When I'm away from her, it feels like a part of me is missing.
And now I see why some mommas wait years before having their first night away from their babies. It doesn't feel natural to do so. With all that being said, this past month I had a few overnight opportunities away from the home that brought upon a decision. Do I limit my capacity in these once-in-a-lifetime activities, or spend nights away from Lydia? (One was the wedding of a close friend that included a few overnights with the bridal party, and the other was a conference in Seattle.) As I prayed about a decision to bring Lydia with me or to let a trusted family member care for her, the Lord reminded me that He wants all of my heart. Choosing to leave Lydia in someone else's care isn't not loving her. It's actually letting go of control and trusting that her life is safe in God's hand. It also for me was a simple act to remind myself that while I love Lydia very deeply, my heart belongs to God.
He's still calling me outside the home.
Picking right back up with where I left off from point one, I've learned that He's still calling me outside of the home and into the lives of others. While I spend most days at home with Lydia and her daily care is my greatest priority, the Lord hasn't stopped my calling to love my neighbors, to love those in my community, and to reach out to the broken hearted. While my primary ministry is within my home to my husband and to my daughter, in this season, He has only increased my fire and calling to reach the lost with the good news of Jesus. I've loved filling my weeks meeting with students, having friends over for dinner, and creating a rhythm of life around our Young Life College ministry. For more on this, read my past post Family on Mission. At the end of the day, I'm learning to walk in obedience to where God is calling me both inside and outside of the home.
He will follow through with His promises.
A year ago, I was three months pregnant and I was beginning to plan for life after Lydia's birth. In praying, the Lord gave me peace about a few things. He gave me peace to pray boldly for a paid job in ministry. But He also gave me peace in this sense to stop trying to figure it out now, because there was something that He wanted to show me first on the other side of Lydia being born. So, for the next 9 months, I didn't try to figure it out. I just waited. I tried to be present and faithful where He was calling me. I finished what was my current full-time job. I was present with Lydia during maternity time. I served my husband in his job. I served my local Young Life area as a volunteer, pursuing a calling over a job title. If you've been following my blog, I wrote about this in my entry, Promotions.
Yet over the past few months I started to doubt His promise. I questioned if He was going to follow through with the promise He'd given me – that He would provide a job – that He would show me what's next. I constantly asked: How am I going to help provide financially for my family while maintaining my ministry here in Lawrence? We had a few months of high financial output and low input as a family. I knew that this wasn't sustainable long-term and that ultimately, I would need to find work that paid. But I also knew that God wasn't calling me away from the mission of Young Life College and helping reach lost students with the Gospel of Jesus. I doubted wondering, how is this all going to work together?
Out of a few weeks of doubt, I decided to pick up some softball lessons on the side to make some money but to keep walking forward in faith. Within a few weeks, Bill Reazer, our Young Life College Midwest Divisional Coordinator, reached out to me with a job opportunity. Part-time, paid work that I could do from home. I would serve YL College throughout the Midwest in a communications and administrative role, which fully aligns with my giftings. I can balance it alongside the ministry I'm doing with students at KU and being home with Lydia. As I write this, I've fully stepped into this role, and it still feels surreal. One year later, I am in awe of God's faithfulness. I am actually in shock that He's answered such a specific prayer.
It's safe to say that I doubted His voice. I thought to myself – maybe I made that up, maybe that wasn't really God speaking. Yet I was able to confess and crush those doubts and continue walking in faith with the help of my husband and my community. And now I get the great privilege of saying: Look what God did! He followed through with His promise to me!
And thank God He is! When I take a step back and look at my life, it's nothing the way I thought it would be five years ago, but at the same time, better than I could have ever imagined it. I never thought that I would settle down in Lawrence and work part-time from home so I could live a life of full-time ministry. I also don't think I could have ever imagined a more perfect, beautiful, and happy little baby that I get to call my daughter. One thing that I've been wrestling with, in the midst of my blessings, is why in this season I am so blessed while I see many of my friends suffering. I see friends processing through child loss or infertility. I see friends who have lost a loved one. I see friends struggle with depression, anxiety, and abuse. Yet I know that suffering is not unique to them. We will all go through suffering—the question is when.
And that is why our ultimate hope must stand on the One who never changes. The One who gives us a reason for our suffering. The One who says – you think I don't use suffering for good? Just look at what I did on the Cross. Trusting that the ultimate goal in this life isn't to avoid suffering, it's to glorify Jesus. And honestly, we have more opportunities to fulfil our greatest calling to glorify God and grow in our relationship with Him when we are suffering. So, when I hit that season, because it will come, may I remember in the valley what the Lord has been teaching me on the mountain.
For more on this, see my previous post Life & Death.
As a parent, I will fail. I won't be perfect. I will sin against Lydia. I will take her for granted. I will not love her and give her my full attention in some of the moments that she needs it. I will try, but I will fail. In my imperfections, may the perfection of my heavenly Father be that much louder.
And thank you God that you are a perfect and Holy Father not just to me, but to my daughter as well. I remind myself constantly that she needs You more than she needs me. And You are perfect for her. Thank you.
He's doing more than I can see.
I can't see what life will be like a few weeks from now, let alone a few years from now. What He's calling me to now is daily faithfulness.
Serve the mission of Young Life.
Keep showing up in peoples' lives.
What I don't see is how He will use all of this daily faithfulness in the future. But after ten years of my best attempt at day-to-day faith, I get to look back and see that He has truly done immeasurably more than all I could ask or imagine, according to His work within me, and for His glory. He has been faithful to fulfil His promises, even if they didn't turn out how I imagined or in the time I wanted them too. And even now, He's doing more than I can see. He's taking daily faithfulness and multiplying my efforts for His Kingdom Come. And it truly is joy, peace, and life.
Sleep. The most talked about baby subject. There are the most books, the most resources, and the most conversations all surrounding your baby's sleep. The first question that other parents often ask me is, how is she sleeping?
What makes something so basic, like sleep, so complicated?
Sleep. Let's think about this critically for just a moment.
which means God created us to rest.
F I G H T I N G . R E S T.
About a month ago, we were knee-deep into the 4-month sleep regression with Lydia when we realized that our lives just hit a major transition. She went from being a newborn who could sleep whenever and wherever, to a baby who fights sleep.
After several nights in a row of her turning to a different baby at about the seven o'clock hour – from her smiley, giggling self to complete melt down – we realized that nothing was wrong other than she was simply tired. But she wouldn't just go to sleep like she had in the past. We had to spend a significant amount of time soothing her and helping her fall asleep.
Out of that season has come an established a sleep time routine for 2-3 naps a day and a bedtime at 7pm. We put her in her sleep sack, turn on the sound machine, rock her, and hum How Great the Father's Love for Us. Within moments she calms down and often I will hear a soft sigh of giving up and see her eyes roll back and her heavy lids start to close. I keep rocking her until her eyes are closed and then set her down in her crib to rest.
Lydia needs my help going to sleep. As we approach the six-month mark, when babies are considered old enough to self-sooth, we will embark on this idea of "sleep training" which can take on various forms. I find it so interesting that something so simple, something so basic, we need to be trained in and assisted with, but I'm sure more to come on this in future writings.
But for now, I'll do what I always do with this blog. Take the normal circumstances of everyday motherhood and let God reveal Himself to me and teach me through them.
C R E A T E D . F O R . R E S T.
If you are familiar with the creation story in Genesis, God created the world in six days and on the seventh day, He rested from His work (Genesis 2:2).
When God gave the Ten Commandments to Moses, He declared that one day a week should be held as the Sabbath. This day should be kept as a holy day of rest and Israel should remember when the Lord brought them out of slavery and set them free (Deuteronomy 5:12-15).
God created us to rest.
While I don't know all the answers, I believe that one of the reasons God created us with limits is to remind us that we are dependent on God for all our needs. Just like He called Israel to rest for the sake of remembering, our rest should remind us that we cannot depend on ourselves, but on God alone.
He created us to need Him, therefore He created us to rest.
C H O O S I N G . R E S T .
So what does rest, as an adult, look like? Yes, it is sleep in a sense, but I think at a certain age, it becomes more.
Cycles of rest should be a regular part of our day, our week, and our year. It can be as simple as returning to the Lord in the morning for prayer before we start our day, attending church on Sundays and having a day devoted to not working, or taking vacations or retreats a few times a year for rest. It should be a time when we get rid of expectations and commitments and turn our eyes on the Lord. To do the things that stir our affections for Him, whether that be a community, a hobby, or silence. We must prioritize rest. We must figure out what rest looks like for us and practice it, or we will risk burnout, exhaustion, or worse.
I am a lot like Lydia. I fight rest. As an achiever, I am always thinking of the next thing that needs to get done, the next person I need to see, and what's coming the next day. I need God's help to remind myself to stop. To hide my phone in the other room. To sip my coffee slow and appreciate the little moments of each day. To set appropriate boundaries and block off whole days or evenings to spend time with family and without the expectation of feeling the need to get anything done.
And I know that this is not uniquely me. In my community group last week, we talked about the idea of rest, and every person in the room admitted… we don't know how to rest. We don't know what it looks like to "honor the Sabbath" in our twenty-first century, American lives with smart phones and deadlines and constant demands surrounding us.
Just because God created us for something, doesn't make it easy. He created us to follow Him and be in a relationship with Him, yet we all know that following Him in the midst of the world's temptations isn't a walk in the park. Just like Lydia needs my help with her sleep, God wants us to ask Him for His help. He wants to help us follow Him. He wants to help us rest and be our rest. He wants us, through Him alone, to experience freedom.
When we choose to do what God ultimately created us to do, we feel peace, we feel fulfillment, and we feel freedom.
So by choosing rest, you're choosing obedience.
By choosing rest, you're choosing Jesus.
By choosing rest, you're choosing freedom, rest assured.


I was an original petition signer many years ago, and was just curious on what date I signed that, it's cool to be able to see the date and comments of the new signers on the new petition. I looked but couldn't find it. Many thanks!


SSo, Roger Fidler wasn't crazy after all. The man who predicted 30 years ago the pending Age Of Tablets writes the cover story for the July edition of Ideas Magazine, now available to members along with 13 revenue-focused member-written case studies.
Fidler's cover story looks at the iPad, tablets, and e-readers and what publishers should expect in the coming years. The cover story package includes provocative predictions by Fidler about how tablets will change the economics of news publishing.


PITTSBURG, Kan. - Senior Destiney Coward of the Southern Connecticut women's indoor track and field team etched her name into the history books on Friday night as she claimed the 2018 NCAA Division II title in the weight throw. Her opening throw of 20.79 meters proved to be the winning mark.
It's the 90th NCAA title in SCSU athletics history (80 individual, 10 team). This is the fifth NCAA title in women's track and field history, joining Paula Brunetto - 1,500 meters - (1987 - indoors), Kateema Riettie - javelin (outdoors - 2001, 2002) and the 4x400 relay of Crystle Hill, Georgette Nixon, Sarah Hill and Shatajah Wattely (indoors - 2015).
Coward cleared 20 meters with three of her five throws. Coming into the meet tonight, Coward was the only Division II athlete to clear that number in the weight throw this year. Michaela Dendinger of Wayne State (Neb.) did throw 20.42 meters, but Coward's opening throw was more than enough for the crown.

Infinity Racing Team Interview
Introduce your team briefly
We are Infinity Racing, the Formula Student team of the University of Applied Sciences Kempten in Bavaria, Germany. The team was founded in 2007 and by now we are nearly 30 committed students. We are developing both combustion and driverless vehicles.
Tell us about your team's history with Formula Student
The first competition we participated in was the Formula Student Germany in 2008. Then, we won the "Best Newcomer Award" as the best of the teams firstly partaking in the FSG. In 2017, we built our first car with a carbon fibre monocoque.
What does joining Formula Student Netherlands mean to you?
This year, we are participating in the Formula Student Netherlands for the first time – and the last time with a combustion vehicle. The FSN event is the beginning of a season, in which we want to celebrate the farewell from our combustion era appropriately. And, of course, it's the first event after a cancelled season!
What are your main goals for this year?
Our goal this year was to build a reliable car with known systems and some important improvements thus completing a successful season.
What made you think of/choose FSN?
Never before have we attended the FSN event and so we did not hesitate to confirm our participation!
What makes you different from the other teams?
We are a small team, however, what we may lack in size we make up for with our commitment and persistence.
What is your biggest achievement in Formula Student so far?
Our biggest achievements in Formula Student were winning the Best Newcomer Award at FSG, first place at the business event at FSS and several top placements in the dynamic disciplines.
Describe your car in three words.
How did COVID-19 affect your team and how did you deal with it?
We were affected mainly during the manufacturing process. However, when working in our workshop was restricted, we did some design revisions and – most importantly – decided to tackle the development of our first electric race car for the season 2022.

Add oEmbed Support for Twitch.tv
jeffr0
reporter-feedback needs-patch
Twitch.tv http://twitch.tv/ is a video hosting/streaming service primarily aimed at gamers that was launched on June 6, 2011. It's not among the list of whitelisted oEmbed providers and I'd like to see that changed so that embedding videos from Twitch is as easy as pasting the URL, similar to how embedding a YouTube video works.
Hello @jeffr0, can you please answer the questions on whitelisting providers? This will help us in the decision process.
Keywords reporter-feedback needs-patch added
#3 @jeffr0
Questions answered in order.
Yes the service is mainstream. It's geared towards gamers and launched in 2011. Though core developers may not have heard of it before if they're not into gaming.
Think of it as the YouTube for gamers. It has similar features and backing from a specific demographic.
Yes, the service's Twitter account is verified and has 3.91 million followers https://twitter.com/Twitch
I don't know but Twitch has a document available for developers on how to Embed videos and clips https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/v5/guides/embed-video/
I don't know but they have an entire site dedicated to developers who want to interact with the site https://dev.twitch.tv/
The service is 5 years old
Yes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitch.tv
There are a few WordPress plugins that exist that take advantage of the service but none that I could find that add the service as an oEmbed endpoint https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=twitch
It should also be noted that WordPress.com supports embedding Twitch.tv videos but it requires using a shortcode https://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/twitch-tv-shortcode/
Based on a cursory search of Trac, I didn't see any other tickets proposing that Twitch.tv be added as a whitelisted oEmbed provider
Last edited 3 years ago by jeffr0 (previous) (diff)
Example Twitch.tv oembed response: https://api.twitch.tv/v5/oembed?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.twitch.tv%2Friotgames%2Fv%2F72749628
sourced from https://github.com/iamcal/oembed/pull/173/files (although I switched that from v4 to v5)
Above link suggests it can handle //clips.twitch.tv/*, //www.twitch.tv/*, //twitch.tv/*
Does the oEmbed endpoint work with WordPress' oEmbed auto-discovery? If not, could it be made to work with additional HTML tags or attributes being whitelisted?
Having looked at their oEmbed output (at least in that case), it looks like it's just an <iframe> which would infer that oEmbed Discovery would work, however they don't appear to expose the oEmbed Discovery data on the embeddable pages.
I don't see any official docs for the endpoint though.
I feel the best way forward here is for Twitch.tv to officially expose the auto discovery headers for oEmbed (which should mean it'll just work in WordPress) and document their endpoint. In the event they document the endpoint and expose something more than just an iframe, we can then look at whitelisting.
#46075 was marked as a duplicate.

For those of you unfamiliar with Goblin Painting Challenges, started by our very own @buglips*the*goblin, here is a link to the Kaladrax thread that started it all: http://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/51269-kaladrax-in-seven-days-buglips-is-crazy-wip .
For this Challenge, I will be painting up Ma'al Drakar in 7 days, using no brushes larger than a size 0.
I will be starting my Challenge at 1:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time on August 2nd 2017 (link here).
EDIT: If you want to skip all of the talky stuff, here's the link to my completion picture.
EDIT: And here's the link to the final entry pictures.
Off all of these things?
With these giant floppy things?
Wash them, rinse them, with all I've got!
So carefully, carefully, with the palettes!
So carefully, carefully, with the paints!
As a Moderatory note: Constant "Are you done yet?" posts are known to cause undue stress, so y'all please refrain.
Could Kit write a script (sorta like the Broccoli one) that auto-converts "are you done yet?" --to-> "...waiting patiently..."
Yay! Moar Victims! Errrr. Challengers!
How did phone take picture of itself??
He is Ma'al Drakar! Eater of brushes! Holder of smartphones! And destroyer of sanity!!!
He's also attempted to sabotage my challenge before it even started. I snapped my starting pic with my camera (so I could have my phone clock in the picture), and as soon as I plugged the camera into my computer so I could upload the picture, the computer stopped recognizing the mouse. Restarting it didn't have any effect. So I had to load my camera drivers onto my husband's computer so I could get the pictures off so I could make my post!
And of course, as soon as I made my post and went back to my computer, the mouse was working again. Spooky.
But I'm showing him who's boss. I've got him laid out on the operating table (aka Lazy Susan), surgical tools (clay shapers) and greenstuff at the ready. Who's in charge now, huh? HUH?!
Taking a bit of a breather after spending the last few hours pushing and coaxing and scowling at putty.
The plastic surgery was a success, and the patient is currently in recovery. He was certainly not the most...cooperative patient I've had, though. He snarled and twisted and bit at my legs and kept yanking on my headphone cord, but after a 2 hour procedure, he's starting to look like a whole new dragon beast.
-I really should have gotten the extra firm clay shapers. The ones I got are quite flexible, to the point where I'm almost fighting the tools to get the results I want. The softness came in handy when I was smoothing, though, so I guess there's that.
-I'm looking forward to when the putty is set enough that I can handle him without worrying about putting fingerprints in yet ANOTHER section of greenstuff.
