Euro Motors Launch Exclusive Offer on APPROVED Jaguar Vehicles
Euro Motors, the exclusive importer and distributor for luxury automotive manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover in the Kingdom of Bahrain, recently launched an attractive campaign offering customers with the lowest ever deposit rates for APPROVED Jaguar pre-owned vehicles.
Under the features of the campaign, customers will be able to drive away with any APPROVED Jaguar model directly from the showroom by making the lowest ever deposit payment rates offered by Euro Motors Jaguar Land Rover. By introducing such a campaign, prospective customers will be able to purchase the Jaguar XF by making a BHD 1,000 deposit and paying a monthly interest-free amount of BHD 149 over the course of 60 months. Jaguar's most advanced and refined sports saloon, the XE, will be available for an unbelievable deposit amount of BHD 1,200 and an interest-free rate of BHD 179 per month over a period of 5 years.

Rocketry Club - Physics Rocks!
Skyline is proud to have had teams qualify for the National TARC Fly-Offs five times: 2004, 2005, 2011, 2013, and 2014. We're hoping to make it 6 this year!
Meeting time will be used for learning the fundamentals of rocket design and construction, working as a team to design the competition rocket using a computer simulation program, and designing and building the rocket together. As needed, we will be discussing fundraising opportunities and other rocketry-related learning opportunities.
Students are required to follow the NAR Model Rocket Safety Code during all design, building, and launching activities.


Monday, March 20, 2017 6:15 p.m.
Come and celebrate the changing season through song and ritual. We will reflect upon this time of balanced light and darkness and and consider what we would like to emerge in our lives in the coming season of growth. The UU Children's Choir will also sing during the service.
Sunday, March 26, 2017 9:15 and 11:15 a.m.
Join us for a unique service where we will do more than talk about risk--but take risks together. Rather than coordinating our service and topics with one another, each worship leader will bring something that calls to her or him. And, rather than follow the typical order of service, we will determine the order randomly by drawing each next element from a hat! Please join us, knowing that we will create sacred space amidst the spontaneity.
Sunday, April 2, 2017 9:15 and 11:15 a.m.
HG Wenzel, in a book about Unitarian Universalism, talks about everyday people who transform the world by their daily actions. We, too, are keepers of the dream--people who change the world for the better by living our values. Join us for inspiration as we begin our month of focus on "Transformation."
Given current national and world affairs, the theme of this year's Annual Pledge Campaign was rather obvious. Now, more than ever, we all need a place to rekindle our fires and rebuild our spirits in the face of authoritarian challenges to our deepest values. Now, more than ever, we need the reassurance that we are not alone and powerless, but part of a powerful community. Now, more than ever, our world needs people prepared by love to be a sanctuary when liberties are threatened. Now, more than ever, the Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington is a vital force for good in the world, and now, more than ever, we need to show our collective support.
We are trying something new for this year's Annual Pledge Campaign. Rather than a traditional Commitment Sunday service, we are going to have a fun-filled, day-long "Pledge Day Celebration" on Saturday, April 22nd . The day will feature community meals, celebrations of congregational leaders and volunteers, inspiriting talks, fun games, Zoomba, opportunities to help work on the grounds, and a very special evening worship service with Carrie Newcomer. We will also be receiving pledge commitments for the upcoming fiscal year with the goal of having everyone's pledge turned in on or before April 22nd .
Please plan to join us on April 22nd . More information about the day's events and opportunities in the coming weeks.
Two important save-the-dates for everyone to be aware of: April 22nd and May 20th!
--to provide resources for social justice, including sanctuary, spiritual and community development and treating our ministers and staff fairly.
May 20th will be the installation for Reverend Scott McNeill. Yes, this ceremony of welcoming would normally happen a little closer to his arrival, but with the new arrival in his family, it seemed best to let the McNeills get settled in first. Please mark your calendar and more information will be forthcoming.
In this week of the Vernal Equinox, these words from Vincent Silliman remind us of the balanced vision of Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington--Seeking The Spirit. Building Community. Changing the World.
Let religion be to us life and joy.
Let it be a voice of renewing challenge to the best we have and may be; let it be a call to generous action.
Let religion be to us a dissatisfaction with things that are, which bids us serve more eagerly the true and right.
Let it be the sorrow that opens for us the way of sympathy, understanding, and service to suffering humanity.
and a heart that rejoices in deeds of kindness and of courage.
*Fascinating article from March 3, 2017 New York Times entitled, Why We Believe Obvious Untruths. Thank you Bob Althauser for providing a "heads up" on this article.
*Quiet repose is part of being conscious--being aware of not only what is happening but how it is happening. Opportunity: "Being, Bloomington: Being Together" will take place at the Buskirk Chumley this Thursday, March 23 at 12:00 noon. BBBT provides a safe space to gather in silence with others in self-reflection, prayer or meditation.
*April 22 is Our Pledge Day as well as March For Science. Richard LeDuc is ready to create a car-pool for those who would like to attend the March for Science on April 22nd in Indianapolis, and return to Bloomington in time for some of the April 22nd festivities here.
Lastly, that wonderful quote from Alice Walker, "As long as the Earth can make a spring every year, I can. As long as the Earth can flower and produce nurturing fruit, I can, because I'm the Earth. I won't give up until the Earth gives up."

Since moving to Bloomington Sandy, has set up a studio in her home and is also an a member in the Bloomington printmaking Collective in downtown Bloomington. Sandy is a very active grandparent and is interested in women's issues and racial justice.
Brandi Edwards recently moved to Bloomington from Chicago, Illinois. After working for several years on political campaigns and with advocacy nonprofits, she now works at Indiana University at the Kelley School of Business and is enjoying her extra free time to do yoga, hiking, and spending time with her rescue dog, Watson.

She is currently a science teacher at Edgewood Junior High, while her husband attends IU Maurer School of Law. She enjoys running, doing yoga, and hiking. Taylor has been a devoted volunteer in her adulthood and is currently walking the pooches at the Bloomington Animal Shelter. She's excited to be a part of such a kind and welcoming community of heartful people.

While not a continuous choir member, Ed participated in the holiday concert and other special programs. He is looking forward to his activities in the Bloomington UU congregation.
Dian, and her husband Ed, lived in northeastern Illinois for the last 34 years. In 2002, they moved to a 65-acre farm bordering the Nippersink Creek, where she kept the "manicured" property and he took care of the 2600 trees that were planted for conservation purposes. They were both active in the Tree of Life UU church in McHenry, Illinois.
Are you friendly and want an excuse to meet new people at church? If so, please consider volunteering as a Fellowship Hour Host once a month.

There's a way for everyone to participate in this important annual fundraiser. Donation forms can be found HERE. Paper forms are also available at church, in Room 204.
You must annually renew your selection of UU with Kroger Community Rewards in order for the church to receive a percentage of your purchases at Kroger.

In the face of widening chasms in civility, power, and discourse, this concert will encourage our community to directly engage with these social justice issues--both for those who are already actively engaged and for those who might be seeking ways to activate. Music, dance, and poetry will be included. In addition, the evening will afford opportunities to participate in interactive projects such as writing postcards to state representatives, donating to local and national organizations, knitting your own Women's March hat, and developing personalized action plans. Admission is free, with optional donations to various local organizations encouraged, including cash, canned goods, and/or diapers. Join us on April 2.

The Habitat fundraiser concert here at our church on Friday, February 24 raised $2791 for the Interfaith Build. Thank you to everyone who attended and to all who participated!
Universalist women were accepted into the ministry in the 1850s. Antoinette Blackwell and Olympia Brown are the most well-known of Universalists who convinced all-male seminaries to accept them and to eventually ordain them.
But it was not until 1871 that Celia Burleigh (1826-1875) became the Unitarian minister for Brooklyn, Connecticut, and also the first female minister in Connecticut. She was born in Cazenovia, New York and had a traumatic upbringing. She moved to Connecticut where she was a feminist, fought for female suffrage, the right to divorce (she had two), and the right for women to have the same educational opportunities as men. She adopted the dressing style of a Bloomer Girl.
She founded a women's Social Science Club in Brooklyn, New York, when living there with her third husband who was Harbor Master of New York. Before he died, he urged her to try for the Unitarian ministry because she was such a gifted orator. She did so and returned to Brooklyn, Connecticut, and applied to become their Unitarian minister. At her ordination, Julia Ward Howe read a letter of praise from Henry Ward Beecher. Burleigh said she believed "in the trinity of God, woman, and man bound by love." She had a short career as a minister, breast cancer forcing her to resign in 1873.
5. I need an appointment with one of the ministers. Contact them directly. See their contact info in above article on this page.
Next few issues: April 3 and 17, May 1 and 15.

Quantum Break Review: a Beautifully Designed Romp Across Time
April 1, 2016 8:11 AM EST
Game Quantum Break
Developer Remedy Entertainment
Reviewed on Xbox One
Publisher Microsoft
Review copy provided by the publisher.
ReviewsNewsXbox OnePC
Quantum Break has been a relatively long time coming, but it's finally about to be released in just five days. It has been massively hyped as Remedy Entertainment's return to the console spotlight, and as a sort of meeting point between video games and TV-like shows.
Those are definitely big shoes to fill, but Quantum Break does have large feet.
The story is at the same time complex and charming. I can't tell much without delving into mild spoilers, so I'll be brief: Jack Joyce meets his old friend Paul Serene to help him with an experiment involving the test run of a time machine, designed by Jack's brother, Will.
During the experiment, something goes horribly wrong, and time "breaks." Jack finds himself provided with superpowers based on the manipulation of time, and a mission to fix what was broken. Yet, his old friend Paul has a different idea, creating a struggle between an improvised "hero" and a "villain" that is certainly more nuanced than most bad guys.
The most advertised element of the game, besides its lovely visuals, is that after each act in which the gameplay is divided, you will be presented with a "junction point." That's a choice that will be made while playing Paul.
After the junction point, you will be given a chance to watch a live action TV-format episode, that changes rather radically depending on the choice Paul made and on some smaller elements you can unlock during gameplay, effectively giving you a reason to play the game twice.
I fully expected the divide between gameplay and show to be somewhat jarring, but it isn't. Thanks to the power of performance capture and mostly believable character models, the game's visuals fit those of the show very nicely. Of course the game's cutscenes don't look like live-action, but the style fits well enough, creating a rather smooth transition.
The quality of the narration and the depth of the characters is what you would expect from Remedy Entertainment, which means that they both are top-notch, crowned by absolutely fantastic writing.
Paul's internal struggles, and Jack's process of coming to terms with his power and his role, are absolutely delightful to watch and play. Will's depiction as the scatterbrained scientist that hides much better insight than meets the eye, is also absolutely great, if a bit stereotypical.
The protagonists aren't the only ones who stand out, and we meet a rich cast of enjoyable characters, played masterfully both in the game and in the show.
Remedy Entertainment is known for its stories, and this time around they really nailed it. While I enjoyed Alan Wake, I found Quantum Break to be even superior (and I know some of you are already reaching for the pitchforks), even if this might have a lot to do with the narrative genre, which better fits my taste.
The game's visuals are generally stunning, with a few caveats .
Performance capture is used masterfully to convey every nuance of the emotions from the original actors' faces directly to our screen, and their graphical depiction is normally downright awesome. Yet, there are a few rare moments in which the quality of the models seems to be somehow lower, giving them a less realistic look, with a bit of "uncanny valley" effect coming into play.
This seems to happen more with Paul Serene, for reasons that I could not easily identify. That said, the issue happens only occasionally, and is not widespread enough to be a big deal.
You'll possibly be surprised to learn that what really shines are the environments. Remedy Entertainment's level designers did an incredible job in depicting locales that come with both variety and absolute visual charm.
Especially the textures and lighting are close to perfect, and create a world that is simply a pleasure to navigate, and even just to watch. I remember many times in which I found myself just standing in place and panning the camera around, not to find collectibles, but to ogle the beauty of the areas around me.
There are a few imperfections here and there, including occasional frame rate drops and some pop-in for shadows, but perfection isn't of this world.
Surprisingly, the apparently sub-Full HD resolution doesn't really impact the game's visual glitz all that much. Quantum Break is another demonstration that numbers are just numbers, and the artistry of a team can overcome cold pixel counts.
Elements like rich textures, effects, shaders, lighting and techniques that I would certainly love to hear more about, take front and center stage and force pixel-focused equations to take a back seat.
The audio compartment is close to perfect, with fantastic voice acting, an engaging sountrack, and film-like sound effects. Especially the acting is delivered in a way that I would easily define on par with the best TV shows, or even Hollywood levels.
Of course, gameplay is king, and gameplay is very, very tight. The shooting mechanics are spot-on, making Quantum Break an excellent cover shooter.
Gunplay itself feels very solid, with believable kick for the most powerful weapons, and a respectable variety that will satisfy both the fans of the shotgunning run-and-gun style, and those who prefer a more reasoned and tactical approach from afar,
Sitting into cover is, rightfully, not encouraged. Enemies can and will flank and surround excessively defensive players, on top of making generous use of grenades.
This means that the player will have to switch from cover to cover often, seeking the best vantage points continuosly. Luckily the mechanics of snapping into cover are as simple as placing yourself behind an object.
The result is a system that works very well, and is free from the frustration you find in many games, where a small delay in taking shelter can result in an early demise. The easy and seamless process of getting in and out of cover is pretty much indispensable, as the game does put you in tight spots rather often even in normal difficulty.
Layered on top of the cover shooter are Jack's time powers. You have a variety of tricks up your sleeve that allow you to easily move around, incapacitate enemies in temporary time bubbles that you can gingerly fill with lead, shield yourself, create shockwaves,and much more.
Paradoxically, a "flaw" so to speak, is that gunplay is so good and satisfying that I often forgot that I actually had time powers to use. The minimalist UI is also partly to blame (while it's visually very pleasing), because it's not always easy to notice that your powers have recharged while you're busy avoiding an untimely death.
This doesn't mean that the time powers aren't fun to use. As a matter of fact, they're a lot of fun to use, but since they're not part of the canonical third person shooter repertoire, it might take you a bit to get used to actually make use extensively of your full arsenal. Time dodge is an exception, since you basically have to use it, if you want to survive the many grenades that will be lobbed your way.
The game also does a great job in getting you comfortable with the enemies you're facing, only to introduce more powerful and dangerous ones, until they'll have time powers themselves, really putting your mastery of your guns and abilities to the test.
Breaking the action are some really entertaining puzzle platforming sections, which I could easily define "timeforming," as you'll use your powers a lot in order to rewind the timeline of objects to place them in the right position to facilitate traversal, or will have to use your time powers in creative ways to reach the next area.
A small problem is that the availability of those powers prompted Remedy to make Jack's physical parkhour abilities feel too limited. For a superhero, he often isn't able to simply climb obstacles that would appear rather low at first sight. This can look a bit awkward, and slows you down as you try to climb onto a ledge that you're not supposed to reach with normal means.
Small nitpicks aside, the gameplay is absolutely well structured and entertaining, intense in the right places and tactical and almost relaxing in in equally appropriate areas.
Everything is topped off by a metric ton of collectible e-mail, documents, articles and similar items that encourage exploration and will let you delve even deeper into the story and into the background and motivations that drive its characters.
The combination with the TV series is also more enjoyable that I expected, allowing me to wind down after each level, enjoying the great acting and generally pretty good production quality.
You could say that if the resources spent for the show had been invested into more gameplay, we'd have an even better and more meaty game in our hands, and I wouldn't blame you. As a matter of fact, if that had been the case, at the top of this review you'd probably read a score much closer to a 10.
That said, Quantum Break isn't in any shape or form a lightweight game. Even if you were to completely skip the show (while you'd miss some great storytelling, so I don't advise it), you'd find yourself with a great game that hits almost all the right notes.
Ultimately, Quantum Break was obviously an experiment. On one side, I'd rather see game developers and publishers focus their resources on telling their stories via the games themselves, but it's impossible not to recognize the value of this title as a game.
It looks awesome, it plays great, and makes you feel really badass. What's not to love? Remedy is back, baby!

Mariners' gravestones in the Irish Sea region: memory and identity
Author(s): Harold Mytum
Mariners could have their graves marked by inscribed memorials in the Irish Sea region from the late 18thcentury onwards, acting as both grave markers and foci for memory and commemorative practices. Some died on land, and so are interred in the grave, or at sea and their bodies have been lost, creating different issues regarding grieving and commemoration. Archaeology can examine how far this is materially represented in their memorials. Recent research in North America and England by David Stewart, and in Wales and the Isle of Man by the presenter, was within largely Protestant contexts. New fieldwork in Ireland examines attitudes and behaviours within Catholic communities, and whether these Irish mariners were commemorated differently. Thus Catholic and Protestant can be compared within the Irish Sea region to see if there is any variation in attitudes to the 'bad death' of drowning at sea, depending on denomination.

Should I become a coach?
> Should I become a coach?
The International Coach Federation (ICF) defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.
For many, coaching is a life-changing experience that dramatically improves their outlook on work and life while improving leadership skills. Coaching helps people tap into their potential, unlocking sources of creativity and productivity.
At this time, coaching is not regulated by any country or state. However, if you are serious about becoming a professional coach, your first step needs to be obtaining coach-specific training.
Professional coaches say the No. 1 obstacle to the coaching industry is untrained individuals who call themselves coaches (2012 ICF Global Coaching Study). Getting training to become a coach will give you credibility in the industry and help you build your professional network.
The International Coach Federation accredits programs that deliver coach training. We do not offer coach training.
Coach training that is approved by ICF has gone through a rigorous review process and demonstrated that its curriculum aligns with the ICF definition of coaching, Core Competencies and Code of Ethics. By choosing ICF-approved coach training, you can be confident that you are getting high-quality training.
ICF-approved coach training will also help you meet the requirements for ICF Membership and Credentialing.
To find an ICF-approved or -accredited coach training program, use ICF's Training Program Search Service.

More Than a Thousand was a Portuguese metalcore band that was started in 2001 by Vasco Ramos, Filipe Oliveira, Pedro Pais and Sérgio Sousa. In 2005 they moved to London in attempt to win a larger audience and lived there for four years but later returned to their hometown of Setúbal, Portugal. The band has released three full-length albums: Volume II: The Hollow (2006), Volume IV: Make Friends and Enemies (2010) and Volume V: Lost at Home (2014). The band sings in English. They were signed to Good Fight Records and eOne music, before going on hiatus in April 2016.

History

Early years (2001–2006)
More Than A Thousand was formed in Setúbal, Portugal in 2001. They moved to London in 2005 to reach a wider audience.

More Than A Thousand's debut album Volume II: The Hollow is a follow up to the EP Trailers Are Always More Exciting Than Movies, billed as '13 songs about loss, separation and human decay'. It is based on the band's experiences in the previous two tumultuous years. Volume II: The Hollow was recorded and produced in 2006 at Tonteknik studios in Umea, Sweden, under the supervision of Pelle Henricsson and Eskil Lovström, the team that had produced Refused, Poison the Well, Cult of Luna and Hell Is For Heroes.

The line-up in that time was rounded out by Vasco Ramos singer, Filipe Oliveira on guitar, Sergio Sousa on guitar, bass player Rui Buiça and drummer Jorge Felizardo. Vasco, Filipe and Sergio write and produce.

Volume 3: Mar (2007–2009)
In 2007, the band decided to release an EP for the fans, that was heavier, direct and with the same ambience present on Vol. II. After playing with Metallica and Mastodon in June, they started recording Vol. III: MAR in the Generator studio. The production was supervised by the Vasco and Filipe throughout summer, in Portugal. The mastering process took place in New York, by Alan Douches (Every Time I Die, Norma Jean, Converge). The band played at Eurosonic festival, in Groningen, January 2008.

In April 2009, they went to Baltimore, USA, to record the follow-up to Volume III. This time the production was supervised by Paul Leavitt (Gwen Stacy, All Time Low, I Am Ghost) along with Vasco and Filipe. The album was named Volume IV: Make Friends And Enemies and was released by Sony Music.

Volume V: Lost At Home (2014–present)
The band announced on 17 January 2014, that they had signed to Good Fight Records and EONE Music. This helped the band gain greater publicity within the United States, a market they had previously not reached.

Volume V: Lost at Home was released on 18 February in North America and 24 February in the United Kingdom and Europe.

On 12 January 2014, the band confirmed that they would join Chelsea Grin, The Browning, and Silent Screams on tour to promote the new album.

On 25 January 2014, the band released the first single off the album Fight Your Demons. The song became available on iTunes the same day.
On 28 February and 1 March, they played 2 main shows in Lisbon and Oporto respectively, with Bury Tomorrow and Cosmogon as opening acts following some dates in Europe before heading for a European tour as support for Chelsea Grin.

On 3 December 2014, they were added to the Betraying The Martyrs European tour in 2015, replacing the band Make Them Suffer. They will support Betraying The Martyrs along with Texas In July and Upon This Dawning. This tour will run from 30 January to 1 March and will visit 31 cities across Europe.

After 16 years together the band is going on a hiatus in April 2016.

Before disbanding the band is playing a farewell tour across parts of Europe, with support from Promethee and Hills Have Eyes.

Vocalist Vasco Ramos has since embarked on a solo project under the moniker "XANDE", stylistically influenced by artists such as The Weeknd and FKA twigs. XANDE released its debut EP "It Is What It Is" in 2018.
