When Chapel Hill United Methodist Church doubled its membership in ten years, it needed a much larger facility to accommodate the church's congregation. SJCF designed the expansion, which more than doubled its original size.
A sanctuary addition with rich wood and earth tones was designed to accommodate 850 seats in a tiered configuration. Stained-glass windows fill the space with natural light.
The stage at the front of the room is large enough for a choir twice its original size, and two large screens on the sides of the stage create a multimedia worship experience.
To maximize daylight to the classrooms and offices on the building's lower level, the architects carved a hillside away from the new addition, allowing for windows and walkouts.

Manchester City vs Chelsea Match Preview (10/02/19): Will It Be Dr Jekyll or Mr Hyde for the Blues on Sunday?
It would be fair to say that, right now, this Chelsea side has something of a multiple personality complex.
Hopeless against Arsenal and Bournemouth, inspired against Tottenham in the Carabao Cup, the Blues once again proved the detractors wrong with a sublime showing in the 5-0 win against Huddersfield last time out.
Let's be under no illusions: we fully expected to beat the Terriers, and anything but the three points would have been considered a minor disaster.
But there's winning and then there's winning with style, and it would be accurate to conclude that the Blues' romp fell firmly into the latter category.
Most salivating of all was the link-up play between Gonzalo Higuain and Eden Hazard, who ended up with two goals apiece and who looked to be perfect footballing foils. For a long time we've been crying out for someone with the Argentine's intelligent play and clever runs into space, and it's quite possible that he can help to elevate Hazard's game to even greater heights.
Maurizio Sarri certainly seems to agree with that estimation. "Higuain is improving. He wasn't physically at the top when he arrived, because he had a back problem and wasn't involved, so only played a few matches," the manager said.
"He is a great player. Apart from the goals, he is really very suitable to play very close to Eden."
David Luiz popped up late to add the fifth goal and complete the scoring on a fantastic day for the club.
Of course, much more difficult tests are yet to come, and arguably they don't come any tougher than Sunday's assignment against Manchester City.
Back in the thick of the title mix, Pep Guardiola's side are back in form and will be desperate for the three points in this dress rehearsal for the Carabao Cup later in the month.
As for us, just maintaining the good vibes from the Huddersfield game is key.
Chelsea Team News
There are no new injury concerns for Sarri to consider, and so from that perspective there really is no need to change a starting eleven that purred on Saturday.
That would mean Andreas Christensen keeping his place at the expense of Antonio Rudiger, with Marcos Alonso seemingly welcomed back into the fold in place of Emerson.
In midfield, Ross Barkley was preferred to Mateo Kovacic against Huddersfield – will that continue against City?
In attack, we are simply ravenous with the prospect of Higuain and Hazard linking up again, with Willian also contributing from the right flank.
Manchester City vs Chelsea Head to Head
Despite occasional gaps of a few years, the rise, fall and rise again of Chelsea and Manchester City have been spookily linked.
In the 'good old days' we sort of rose up and down the leagues together, regularly locking hors in the top flight and the second tier.
We became more settled from the 1990s onwards, although it took City a bit more time to become a first division regular again.
And then the foreign investment cam for both clubs, and we all know how that story has panned out thus far.
All in all, we've met on 161 occasions, with Chelsea winning 55 and losing 67. In the modern era we've shared the bulk of our meetings, with one draw in the last ten, four Chelsea victories and five for City.
How the Match Will Be Won
You can never be quite sure of which players Pep Guardiola will deploy; he is a tinker man in his own right. But one thing that is for sure is that whoever he brings in will be high quality.
There are no weaknesses in this City side, and even with Aymeric Laporte covering at left back they remain defensively sound. Clearly, Hazard drifting off the left and linking up with Higuain in pockets of space in front of their defence will be key.
There could be a good old battle in midfield, with our trio locking horns with three of Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Gundogan or David Silva in the middle of the park.
In wide areas, the danger is our full backs becoming exposed against the pace of Raheem Sterling and the guile of Bernardo Silva. We would not be surprised at all to see N'Golo Kante deployed in the deeper role for which he became best known at Leicester and in our title-winning campaign.
We want Willian to stay wide here and occupy Laporte, which would leave Hazard and Higuain up against, perhaps a central defensive partnership of John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi. It's certainly an area of the field we can exploit with relish.

Saskatoon Combat Robotics Club (SCRC) — Kilobots XII
● by Kurtis Wanner
Instead of writing the usual event report, I have decided to give you a glimpse into the minds of the builders while competing. I asked everyone to write fight reports for their robots and have chosen to present — from each driver's point of view — the path of Metroid through the antweight (1 lb) field of robots. (See Figure 1.)
rear wedge, and a large neodymium magnet to help keep the robot stuck to the steel arena floor."
Metroid vs. Kitbot: 1st Place Champion of Previous Two Events
Builder Dennis Beck, of Team DBM, Describes Metroid
Dennis: "Metroid's first ever match was against Team Fingertech's Kitbot. The angle of Kitbot's lifting wedge/plow was steep enough that Metroid's weapon teeth would not be able to catch on the leading edge of the wedge. Luckily, the sharpened steel weapon teeth on Metroid's spinning drum were able to get enough bite into Kitbot's titanium wedge, flipping him over. Kitbot would be inverted for the
remainder of the match. Metroid got in a few more good hits on Kitbot before the endcap retaining nut came unthreaded from Metroid's drum, causing the drum to come out of alignment, eventually jamming against the frame. The inverted Kitbot and Metroid chased each other around the arena for the remainder of the fight. Judges decision was in favor of Metroid ... a great start!"
"Metroid is a new bot to me. It is of the drum spinner design, that has been proven to work well in other antweight robots. I chose to add some features that I have never seen before on other antweight drum spinners. I added titanium wheel guards, an adjustable height

We have just published a review of current phenomics and GWAS application in Current Opinion in Plant Biology (2014, 18:73–79). Read the full paper here. Abstract below.
Agriculture requires a second green revolution to provide increased food, fodder, fiber, fuel and soil fertility for a growing population while being more resilient to extreme weather on finite land, water, and nutrient resources. Advances in phenomics, genomics and environmental control/sensing can now be used to directly select yield and resilience traits from large collections of germplasm if software can integrate among the technologies. Traits could be Captured throughout development and across environments from multi-dimensional phenotypes, by applying Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) to identify causal genes and background variation and functional structural plant models (FSPMs) to predict plant growth and reproduction in target environments. TraitCapture should be applicable to both controlled and field environments and would allow breeders to simulate regional variety trials to pre-select for increased productivity under challenging environments.

PM defeated over Brexit strategy
NEWS » World » World. Main
Prime Minister Theresa May has suffered a fresh defeat in a Commons vote on her Brexit strategy by 303 to 258.Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has called on the prime minister - who did not take part in the debate - to "admit her Brexit strategy has failed". Tory Brexiteer rebels abstained, saying the government's motion implied a no-deal Brexit would be ruled out.Ministers said that was not the case but defeat would make life more difficult for the PM in EU talks.Mrs May has promised MPs a final, decisive vote on her Brexit deal with the EU when she has secured the changes to it she believes MPs want to see.
A Labour amendment calling for that final, meaningful vote to be held before 27 February was earlier defeated by 16 votes.An SNP amendment, which was also backed by the Liberal Democrats, calling for Britain's departure from the EU on 29 March to be delayed by three months, was defeated by 93 votes to 315, after most Labour MPs abstained.Commenting on Mrs May's latest defeat, Jeremy Corbyn said: "Two weeks ago, the prime minister told Parliament that her new approach could 'secure a substantial and sustainable majority' in Parliament."However, tonight's vote has proved that there is no majority for the prime minister's course of action."This can't go on. The government can't keep ignoring Parliament or ploughing on towards 29 March without a coherent plan."He added that the PM needed to admit her strategy had failed "and come back with a proposal that can truly command majority support in Parliament".Downing Street had earlier warned that a defeat in Thursday's vote could damage the prime minister's negotiating position, as she seeks to make changes to the controversial backstop "insurance policy" in her deal to avoid customs checks between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.Mrs May believes she can secure a Commons majority for the deal if she can get legally-binding changes to the backstop clause - something the EU has consistently ruled out.Labour has accused her of "running down the clock" so that MPs will be faced with a last-minute choice between her deal and no-deal.The defeat is Mrs May's tenth in a Commons vote since becoming PM.

Dayton Christian School System is a private, non-denominational PreK-12th grade Christian school district located in southwestern Ohio. There are two schools in the system: Dayton Christian School, located on its Dayton campus in Miamisburg, Ohio. Dayton Christian Homeschool and LightShine Academy, the preschool program of Dayton Christian School, are located on the Dayton campus. Since 1963, the Dayton Christian School System has graduated over 5,000 students. 1,200 currently attend one of their schools.

History
In 1963, Claude "Bud" Schindler, an NCR Corporation executive, started a 14-student kindergarten class at Patterson Park Grace Brethren Church.  Dayton Christian High School opened in 1967. Dayton Christian Middle School opened in 1979, and in 1984 Sugar Grove Elementary was added. In 1991, Brookville Elementary was added. Two years later in 1993, Xenia Christian Elementary and Xenia Christian High School were added. In 2002, the Sugar Grove Elementary and Brookville Elementary combined to form Northwest Christian School. Northwest Christian School later closed in 2008.

In 1979, the schools ended employment of Linda Hoskinson, a married elementary teacher, because she was pregnant and the school felt she should not work outside the home while her kids were young. Her sex discrimination lawsuit went to the U.S. Supreme Court in Ohio Civil Rights Commission v. Dayton Christian Schools, Inc. The schools subsequently changed their employment practices.

In 2005, the schools purchased the former NCR training center on Washington Church Road and converted the adult education space into its Miami Township campus. The state of Ohio provided a $379,516 grant to demolish the other structures on the property.  On March 10, 2020, Dayton Christian School created a "coronavirus team" in case the virus spreads to the area. On March 12, 2020, Dayton Christian School suspended all classes due to COVID-19.

Grammy Award-winning Eighth Blackbird flies into town for week's worth of new music
Jeffrey Kaczmarczyk | jkaczmarczyk@mlive.com
Courtesy PhotoGrammy Award-winning new music ensemble eighth blackbird appears in free concerts at Grand Valley State University in Allendale and in St. Cecilia Music Center on Wednesday afternoon and evening and in Muskegon on Friday and Saturday evenings.
GRAND RAPIDS — Tim Munro was in New York City four years ago for the celebrated "Bang on a Can" music marathon when he heard some college group from somewhere in the Midwest was there to play at 5 o'clock in the morning.
The flutist from the Grammy Award-winning new music ensemble eighth blackbird decided to call it a night instead of catching the show.
"I kind of dismissed it," recalled Munro, a native of Australia. "It's a college I never heard of."
The next day, Munro realized his mistake.
"Everybody was talking about it," he recalled. "It was so spectacular as the sun was rising, and it was an amazing performance."
And that was before he heard the widely acclaimed CD of Steve Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians" recorded by the Grand Valley State University New Music Ensemble under director Bill Ryan.
Munro will make up for lost time this week when eighth blackbird comes to West Michigan for a weeklong residency with three entirely different performances in Grand Rapids, Muskegon and at GVSU's main campus in Allendale.
The sextet based in Chicago will be at GVSU for workshops Tuesday and two performances on Wednesday.
"It's the 50th anniversary of Grand Valley, and we wanted to come up with a big, high-profile group to come in and share the stage with the New Music Ensemble," Ryan said. "They were excited and open about coming out to perform with us."
Eighth blackbird appears on campus for GVSU's Arts at Noon Series in the Cook-DeWitt Center.

On Wednesday evening, the ensemble will appear at St. Cecilia Music Center in Grand Rapids for a program opening with a piece titled "Spam" by Marc Mellits, with the composer from Syracuse, N.Y., attending.
Then, eighth blackbird will join the GVSU New Music Ensemble for a performance of Terry Riley's "In C."
Eighth blackbird has never given a public performance of the seminal work, though the six musicians are familiar with the piece that helped launch the minimalist movement in 1964.
"It's sort of like the Well-Tempered Clavier of modern, minimalist music," Munro said, referring to J.S. Bach's 18th- century work for keyboard. "You just can't get by without knowing it, it's such a pivotal piece."
Joining both groups will be Dennis DeSantis, a New York City-based electronic musician, for the performance of "In C."
DeSantis has worked with the New Music Ensemble and eighth blackbird.
West Michigan Symphony
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday
Where: Frauenthal Center, 425 W. Western Ave., Muskegon
Tickets: $10-$35 adults, $5 students
Call: West Michigan Symphony box office at 231-726-3231
"He remixed them live while they played and created a whole show around that, so he knows them well," Ryan said.
On Friday and Saturday, eighth blackbird will be in Muskegon for a performance of Jennifer Higdon's concerto "On a Wire" with the West Michigan Symphony under music director Scott Speck.
The West Michigan Symphony was one of several North American orchestras that co-commissioned the Pulitzer Prize-winning composer to write for eighth blackbird and orchestra, beginning with the Atlanta Symphony last year.
In March, the group played it with the Toronto Symphony. Next month, eighth blackbird will collaborate with the Cleveland Orchestra. Both are world-class orchestras, but eighth blackbird has enjoyed working with smaller orchestras such as the West Michigan Symphony, led by music director Scott Speck.
"The quality of all the regional orchestras we've played with has been very high," Mun-ro said. "The audiences have been quite engaged and enthusiastic about this weird piece of modern music."
Eighth blackbird's set of concerts this week fell together almost by chance. But it has turned out to be a lucky break for Grand Valley State University and the West Michigan Symphony.
"We're splitting some of the travel costs, so that's good for both both of us," Ryan said.
That helps GVSU offer two free concerts — a rare treat.
"We're hoping to get lots of people to come out," Ryan said. "The opportunity to see these guys for free doesn't come very often."
