Trades Assistant volunteers work with a Trades Volunteer, side by side with young people in small groups to disciple through the trades, encourage hope and purpose, and walk and learn by living daily life together. The trades volunteer works towards these goals while creating a safe environment.
1. Trades Assistant volunteers will disciple young people through the trades, which requires them to respect the young people, have a consistent testimony (character, 1 Timothy 3:2), and personal spiritual growth. Trades Assistant will demonstrate the fruits of the spirit, and seek ways to help others. He/she is committed prayer for ministry, students and leaders. Trades Assistant volunteer must be 18 years old to work with youth. Trades Assistant volunteer must be older then the young adults they work with.
2. The Trades Assistant person encourages hope and purpose, which is based on showing the individual who they are in Christ, and what they can do with what God has given them. This teaches them the reason behind the activity and their intrinsic value. He/She is committed to intentionally building relationships with young people in the shop and bringing young people closer to Christ.
3. The Trades Assistant volunteer will walk along side and teach the young person in both life and trade. The Trades Assistant are not the main trades teacher but will be working with an experienced trades person. Trades Assistant will be working with a Trades Volunteer and approximately 2-3 young people at a time. To walk with the young people, the Trades Assistant volunteer must be willing to be humble and vulnerable, living life on life with the student. They will build one-on-one relationships by working together and meeting together occasionally outside of OK. He/She is committed to consistent volunteer time in order to develop meaningful relationships.
4. The Trades Assistant will work to create a safe environment, spiritually, emotionally and physically. Volunteers must complete all mandatory safety trainings, and encourage young people to work safely. He/She will attend volunteer trainings and debriefings. Volunteers will work to create a trusting, judgement free, team environment. All meetings with youth outside of Organized Kaos are to take place in highly visible and highly trafficked areas (ex. coffee shops).


ThunderCats, an animated children's television series, was developed by Rankin-Bass in 1983. There were two series running from 1985 to 1987. Originally created for its merchandising power, the series became quite popular, with Comic books still being created.
The premise was structured with a simple and predictable story line. The age-old battle of good (the Thunder-Cats) and evil (the Mutants) was set in a milieu that combined high technology and hand-to-hand combat. The Thunder-Cats while considered humanoid, have distinctly feline (cat like) appearances. The Mutants, on the other hand, are a rag-tag bunch of uglies.
The action is set on a planet called Third Earth (any relation?), which is a wild and violent world. Thunder-Cats and Mutants alike are non-native. The ThunderCats fled their home planet, Thundera, when it became unstable and the Mutants came from a world called Plundarr. While the entire population of Thundera fled the disaster, the ThunderCat nobles, numbering only seven, were the only ones to make it to Third Earth. They dwell in a substantial fortress built in the shape of a cat, the Cat's Lair.
Leading the Thunder-Cats, is Lion-O. Due to a malfunction of his suspended animation pod en route to Third Earth, he arrived physically an adult while still possessing the mental capacity of a youth. Despite this problem Lion-O carries the group's super weapon, the Sword of Omens. The Eye of Thundera, the source of their power, is embedded in the sword's hilt. With the power of the Eye, Lion-O can call upon a variety of powers and abilities from the sword. This includes the "Sight Beyond Sight" (the ability to peer at faraway goings-on and pierce the veil of the dimensional boundaries) and the "Cat's Growl" (a warning when danger was near and/or others of the group were in trouble). With a cry of "Thunder! Thunder! Thunder! THUNDERCATS! HO!", Lion-O could summon the others for assistance in times of great danger.
The group's original leader, Jaga, did not survive the trip, piloting the ship towards Third Earth whilst the other ThunderCat nobles went into suspended animation. He appears in the form of a spiritual apparition, providing Lion-O with counsel when needed.
Second to Lion-O is Tygra, an older male and the brains of the group. He is armed with a whip, which with a special twist can render him invisible, as well as other super-natural abilities but need rarely demonstrate them.
Next is Panthro, the strongest of the group and the most technically adept. Easily the best fighter of the group, Panthro fights with nunchucks and is the designer/mechanic/driver of the group's oversized vehicle - the Thunder Tank.
Cheetara is the only adult Thundercats female (for the first series). She can run extremely fast, fights and vaults with a quarterstaff, and, by running fast in a small circle, she can see into the past, though it is extremely taxing upon her.
There are two youngsters, Wiley-Kit and Wiley-Kat, whom are in constant trouble and frequently need rescuing. They are armed with a "utility belt" of sorts, filled with various capsules and globes that perform a wide variety of tricks. They also wield lariats for ensnaring and the like.
The final member of the group is the comic relief. He is a small, fat, hybrid species by the name of Snarf. Snarf was Lion-O's nursemaid during his physical youth. Now that his body has reached maturity, Lion-O feels he no longer needs a babysitter. Still, Snarf is the most loyal of ThunderCats (yes...he is a ThunderCat) and their most underrated member.
As well as the original ThunderCats, later additions to the second series were Bengali (the white tiger blacksmith), Pumyra and Lynx-O (the blind ThunderCat). Other allies include Mandora, the Evil-Chaser (an intergalactic police officer), Hachiman (a samurai swordsman), and Snarfer, Snarf's nephew and technological genius.
Opposing the ThunderCats are the Mutants, living in Castle Plundarr. Their lineage is more diverse than the ThunderCats and includes a number of less well-regarded species. Like most cartoon 'bad guys', they are extraordinarily incompetent. Their band consists of Slythe, Monkian, Jackalman and Vultureman. In order to offer a significant challenge to the ThunderCats, they are led by Mumm-Ra. He usually resides in a pyramid as a withered corpse-like being. By reciting a piece of doggrel though, he can be 'pumped-up' into a much more muscular blue-skinned being which in turn, offers the ThunderCats an episode long challenge before being driven back. At times other evil entities will arrive on Third Earth, to eventually be forced back into space. Mumm-Ra also has a canine companion, Ma-Mutt, blue in color and somewhat bulldogish in nature.

Englishman Ian Poulter will make his first appearance in a regular European Tour event for ten months when he joins World Number Seven Adam Scott at the Australian PGA Championship from December 1-4.
Poulter last teed up on the European Tour in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship at the start of the year, and underwent foot surgery shortly after competing in the Masters Tournament in April.
A 12-time winner on the European Tour, Poulter will return to action at the revamped RACV Royal Pines Resort, on Queensland's Gold Coast, host venue for the A$1.5million tournament which will be co-sanctioned with the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia for the second consecutive year.
It will be Poulter's debut in the Australian PGA Championship and his first visit to the Gold Coast, located around an hour from Brisbane.
"Australia is a fantastic place to play golf and I always receive such strong support from the fans, so I'm looking forward to playing the Australian PGA Championship," said Poulter, who has played on Australian soil 13 times previously.
"To be playing a European Tour event down here is an opportunity I jumped at. It's a great chance to come back to a country I have previously performed well in and kick-start my 2017 season.
The Gold Coast sounds like my kind of place – sun, sand and plenty of entertainment.
A popular player with fans, Poulter will add some colour to a tournament which is fast gaining a reputation for its festival atmosphere.
"This year at the Australian PGA Championship we are creating a festival of golf, and we feel that Ian Poulter, with his engaging personality, will complement this nicely," said Brian Thorburn, CEO of the PGA of Australia.
Poulter will be returning to a happy hunting ground, having produced some excellent results in Australia over the years.
On his last trip 'Down Under', Poulter went head-to-head with Scott at the 2013 Australian Masters, eventually finishing runner-up.
Poulter and Scott will be joined by a talented line-up of players including Marc Leishman, Scott Hend, Marcus Fraser and defending champion Nathan Holman.

Octavian starts out by telling us that he doesn't know much about his origins; he only knows what his mother told him and she never told him much.
Except then he launches into a really long story of his mother's past as a princess in the Oyo empire, in western Africa.
Here are the basics: Cassiopeia was a princess, who used to sit by her big daddy the King while he dealt with state business. She was happy, with lots of siblings, a beautiful home, and even a handsome prince as her fiancé. Then, just as she was about to marry her beloved prince, another prince asked to marry her. This prince was a total jerk about being rejected, so he took his anger out on them by waging war. He killed her fiancé and kidnapped Cassiopeia, and tried to force her to marry him, but she refused, so he exiled her to the coast. There, on the coastal kingdom of Dahomey, she was kept at the Governor's castle. The castle was beautiful, with lots of music, and she would sit listening to the music while pregnant with Octavian. In fact, that's where she thinks Octavian got his musical talent from—all that background music he heard while in the womb. Things were good, except the English came and took over the Isle of B—, where she was at. She got taken onto a ship called the Incontrovertible with Captain Julian McFergus at the helm. McFergus protected her from other men throughout the trip across the sea to America; then, once in America, she figured out that she didn't really like the more southern ports like Savannah or even New York, which is how she ended up in Boston.
Mr. Gitney saw her arrival in the papers and was so impressed with her elegance and smarts, he opened his home to her.
The only thing he asked for in exchange was that Octavian be educated according to the Gitney way (philosophy, classics, blah blah blah).
Cassiopeia was only thirteen years old then, so she couldn't say no.
And that's how their life began in the College of Lucidity.

LG OLED evo C2 65″ TV review – A brighter future for an already great TV
Leave a Comment / Technology / By ragheb
It's no secret at this point that if you're looking for a new TV that'll deliver the inkiest blacks, natural colours, great connectivity and a stunning design, an LG OLED will be the number one cabbie. Our LG C1 OLED review from last year confirmed as much, and not much has changed this time around. People usually look for major upgrades or cutting-edge technology when they buy a new TV, but just like last year, the biggest praise we can give to LG's OLED offering is that what was before was already so close to perfection that there was very little they could do better this time around.
And yet, with the new C2 OLED, they have outdone themselves again.
The cheapest prices of the LG C2
This year, the LG C1 OLED range comes in six sizes with a 42″, 48″, 55″, 65″, 77″ and 83″. The design of the rack on the 65″ model has been greatly simplified compared to the CX/C1, it's now much narrower and shallower at the rear, but it's also a bit taller which is sure to be a huge relief for those of us who sit a soundbar in front of the TV The rear of the panel itself is still incredibly thin at the top while the thick part of the chassis containing the electronics sits in the middle This time around, all the ports have been moved to the side of the TV, making cable management and wall mounting much easier, and from the front, this is an incredibly attractive TV with hardly any bezels. It's definitely one of the most premium TVs I've ever laid eyes on, and it's also incredibly lightweight.
NEXT GENERATION COMPATIBILITY AND GAME OPTIMIZER
Much like last year's C1 model, you'll get four HDMI 2.1 ports with the LG C2, meaning if you've got a PS5, Xbox Series X and 3000-series GPU, you're sorted. While some manufacturers are still catching up on their HDMI port compatibility, LG has made sure that you can plug any HDMI 2.1 compatible device into one of its full bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports and get an equally great result. . This means that with a PS5 or Xbox Series X you can access 4K at 120FPS with HDR enabled while taking advantage of variable refresh rates and auto low latency modes. The TV supports both NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium so every base is covered when it comes to playing games on this screen.
Last year's Game Optimizer menu makes a return and works largely the same, with a few slight changes. As before, when you hit the settings menu while a console is connected, instead of getting the generic settings popup, you'll get a dedicated gaming one. This means you can check your frame rate on the fly, adjust the Black Stabilizer, enable G-Sync and Low Latency modes, or quickly access the larger Game Optimizer menu that lets you tweak things like your HDR settings and the Like. It's a small thing in the big scheme, but being able to quickly see how your TV works with your consoles or PC at a glance and quickly find your preferred settings is very welcome.
If you're looking for a true-to-life image that's near perfect out of the box, there are few consumer sets on the market as impressive as this one (except for LG's top-end G2). As the C2 is an OLED TV, that means every pixel is self-illuminating, meaning you're going to have the deepest, deepest blacks and truly vibrant colours. Every year we see more and more innovations in other display technologies that bring them closer to the dream of infinite contrast that OLED offers, but nothing beats the reality.
This is especially true when you consider that LG is making huge strides in bridging the only gap between its OLED technology and other solutions on the market: brightness. Due to power and thermal limitations, OLED panels have traditionally been considerably dimmer at maximum brightness compared to various versions of LCD panels, making them well suited for dark movie theater environments, but a problem in brightly lit areas. That's much less of a concern now, with the C2's 'evo' panel offering even improved brightness over the C1. Looking at the plethora of side-by-side comparisons and benchmarks available elsewhere, this is not a huge margin over the previous model, but as someone stepping out of an older LG B8 OLED, the difference in brightness here is astronomical and easily makes this TV viable for viewing in just about any environment.
While gaming or watching HDR movie content, the picture here is a real marvel. The blacks are cosmically deep, the HDR really pops, the implementation of HGiG on the TVs being excellent and perfectly aligned with the built-in calibrations of the PS5 and Xbox Series X. The biggest compliment we can give to this TV when you're gaming or doing just about anything is everything works the way it's supposed to out of the box. It's truly foolproof, until the TV literally recognizes that you plug in a console and automatically configures everything it needs to be.
Usually when I buy a new TV I literally spend hours setting it up and tweaking everything to suit the viewing environment and what I'm reading, but with my C2 I barely scratched the surface of all image settings because I'm incredibly happy with how it all looks right off the bat. I used to hate starting a new HDR-enabled video game and having to guess my way through those brightness calibration screens, but so far none of them have given me any grief since.
Something I was keen to check out for myself is the C2's compatibility with newer gaming-focused technologies like variable-rate refresh, 120Hz refresh rates, and pushes toward low input latency. The good news is that the TV does all of this excellently. My PS5 and Xbox Series X instantly detected that the screen was capable and adjusted their output settings accordingly, meaning I could run games like Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart for m marvel at their 120Hz/40FPS output options as well as performance modes that sound incredibly smooth with VRR enabled. Input latency across the board is also incredibly good, with multiple step settings in the game optimizer to push it down.
As usual, burn-in is always something OLED owners will have in mind as a possibility when gaming, but I can personally say that after using my previous LG OLED for years and now the C2 I never noticed a minimal amount of very temporary image retention and no real ghosting. There's a bunch of tech and settings on the TV to ensure the odds are negligible at best so I wouldn't worry about anything unless you're somehow planning on using it as primary monitor for everyday PC use.
What I'm still not quite a fan of is the LG's aggressive backlight control, which can sometimes look funky on scenes with very bright screen coverage as it dims to match maximum brightness screen overall. It's much less noticeable here than older models, especially when there's as much brightness as you get here.
The LG C2 carries on the new iteration of LG's WebOS Smart TV interface from last year's models – you've got a home screen that not only has all your apps and HDMI sources, but it'll also intelligently show you the best choices from the variety of streaming services and allows you to continue watching programs without even jumping into those apps. It's slightly disappointing that there's still no dedicated Google Cast functionality, but all the apps you want are here, from Netflix to Disney+, Amazon Prime, YouTube, Kayo, Binge and Apple TV+. If you are an Apple user, you still have the option to easily stream content with AirPlay.
My only real complaint with the C2's UI is that I couldn't find a way to start the TV right in the excellent home dashboard, which lets you see all of your inputs and access to content directly from your phone. and Control all the lights and smart devices in your home from one sexy screen. It's a minor complaint and only comes down to how much I love the Home Dashboard as an all-in-one home control solution on the big screen in my living room.
The basic LG Magic Remote is largely unchanged from last year and is still one of the best first-party TV remotes out there, and I love it even more since I found I could use it. as a mouse pointer with the TV's native GeForce Now application. to literally use it as a pointer for the games I stream. Pointer controls for strategy games or point-and-click? Wiimote style controls for FPS?? Count on me!
Ultimately, it all boils down to saying that the C2 ably continues the C1's already stellar legacy as a consumer OLED TV that boasts unbeatable picture quality and great gaming features. -not a huge step up from its predecessor – I definitely wouldn't upgrade if you have last year's model – but coming from an older LG OLED or other technology d display, you will be seduced. When it comes to gaming, there's no other TV I would recommend earlier.
Much like the C1 before it, the LG OLED evo C2 is extremely hard to fault. It delivers a stunning picture with perfect blacks that will make switching back to another TV nearly impossible. Fully equipped for gaming and brighter than ever, it's another win for the OLED team, but don't expect a big enough jump over last year to warrant a quick upgrade.
Absolutely stunning picture with inky blacks and gorgeous HDR
Four full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports and Game Optimizer make it perfect for gaming
Decent UI paired with a great remote
New sleek stand and ultra-thin bezel
Not massively improved over last year's C1
Still quite expensive
The cheapest price of the LG C2 65″

Together with Han Admiraal of Enprodes, Antonia Cornaro of Amberg Engineering AG authored a book on underground space development titled "Underground Spaces Unveiled: Planning and Creating the Cities of the Future", which has just been published by ICE (Institution of Civil Engineers).
The book was presented for the first time at the CORP conference in Vienna on April 4, 2018 and subsequently at a Think Deep UK (TDUK) workshop in London on April 18, 2018, as well as at the Open Session of the World Tunnel and Underground Space Congress in Dubai on April 24, 2018.
Underground Spaces Unveiled is an in-depth overview of the concept of underground space development, investigating major factors determining the future of our cities and how we can plan and create them by applying best practice in underground space development to ensure their sustainability.
Written by an enlightened engineer and a visionary urban planner thereby ensuring a balanced view and wide appeal, the book is intended for civil engineers, urban planners, urban designers and architects as well as policy makers and anyone involved with or interested in the future of urban development and the built environment.
The book was also presented during the World ACUUS Congress on "Integrated Underground Solutions in Compact Metropolitan Cities in Hong Kong" on 7 November 2018, during a full plenum presentation to urbanists, architects, engineers, from industry and academia, as well as policy makers, highlighting various examples and chapters from their book.
During a separate presentation during the conference on "investment-ready and bankable underground spaces", based on their book Chapter 7, the authors Antonia and Han sparked some interesting discussion points amongst the audience. On the final conference day, they also held a full plenum book presentation on "Underground spaces unveiled: planning and creating the cities of the future".
During the ICE Global Engineering Congress in London on 24 October the authors presented on inclusive underground spaces and held a book signing session in presence of the publisher in the Institution's of Civil Engineers esteemed library.
Listen to the acceptance speech here. Further presentations in 2019 are planned in London, Naples, and Shanghai.
Felix Amberg being presented with the newly published book by Antonia Cornaro.
"In the future more and more people will live in urban areas. The use of the third dimension not only skywards but also into the underground will form an essential part in urban and city development and of Smart Cities. This use of the Underground Space will go far beyond the traditional and well known practice of metro, railway and road tunnels and will include usages which by today's standards are still being considered 'unconventional'. The well written and comprehensive book of Antonia Cornaro and Han Admiraal gives a deeper insight into this context and through various examples shows what this vision may look like in real applications.
For the companies of the Amberg Group the perspective of an intensified use of the Underground Space offers significant opportunities to which we can respond in a very competent way, due to the unique composition of our Group and the wide experience and expertise of our team."
Han Admiraal has been active in the field of underground space for over 20 years. A civil engineer by training, he worked for the Netherlands Government and as a professor at Zeeland university of Applied Science. Currently he works as an independent consultant in this field. He is Co-chair of the International Tunnelling and Underground Space Association's Committee on Underground Space (ITACUS) and internationally recognised as a thought leader in this field.
Antonia Cornaro, a New York trained urban planner, has worked in urban and transportation planning in New York, London, Vienna and Zurich. Since 2010 she works for Amberg Enginerering, where she specialises in underground infrastructure, focussing on Urban Underground Space with the aim to increase mobility, liveability and resilience of urban areas. This is also central to her work as Co-chair of ITACUS. She has published and presented extensively, often jointly with Han Admiraal on this topic. This is her first book.

Bipolar disorder also has several types. Bipolar 1 disorder is severe and when untreated, means deep depression and the presence of a serious manic episode, which could in some cases require hospitalisation. Bipolar 2 disorder is characterised by lesser manic episodes called hypomania alongside the depression, but never full blown mania. There is also a form of the illness called Cyclothymia which is a lot milder and episodes do not become as heightened as the other forms.
'I'm hopeful we can get to a place where the stigma is lifted from people going through anything alone. It can be incredibly isolating. It does not have to define you and I refuse to allow it to define me or control me.
Carey is quoted as saying that she is well now on medication and therapy. This is true for the many millions of people with bipolar and this article will look at certain treatment options.
So how can bipolar disorder be treated?
There is a myth that bipolar disorder cannot be treated but in reality, many forms of treatment exist. While they may be trial and error for each person with bipolar, medicine has moved to a stage where most people with the condition can effectively manage it (and have more time between episodes), with the help of a GP or psychiatrist. However, there are forms of the illness that can be treatment resistant or more difficult to treat. There are also a plethora of psychological therapies that can help people with bipolar to manage their emotions and life difficulties.
What are the main medicines for bipolar disorder in the UK?
According to the NHS guidelines, there are several main medications that can help treat bipolar disorder. Although the cause of the illness is unknown, it is likely to be unusual changes in brain chemistry that cause the episodes. As such treatments have been developed to try and stabilise the mood changes.
As it says, anti psychotic medications help to prevent episodes of mania and psychosis, where your mind loses touch with reality. Anti depressants are often used in periods of depression but must be used alongside a mood stabiliser such as Lithium, to prevent a manic episode.
The NHS notes that the 'gold standard' drug in the UK for Bipolar disorder is Lithium carbonate, which is mainly taken orally, every day. They emphasise that Lithium is a long term level of treatment , prescribed for at least six months and can be taken for years as the illness is chronic. Lithium is a strong medicine, requiring blood tests as too much of it in the blood, is toxic. If dose is incorrect, you may feel sick or vomit, so its important to get it right, drink lots of water and have close monitoring. It can be highly effective but has some side effects.
Anti convulsant medicines such as carbamazepine and valproate may also be used to treat bipolar. These can help stabilise mood but as with any medication have side effects, so its important to be guided by a psychiatric expert. Lastly, if a manic episode is present, anti psychotic medications such as quetiapine or olanzapine can be used to return the brain to usual functioning. While good, they also have weight gain side effects.
When taking any medication its important to be guided by a qualified doctor and not to suddenly change or come off medicines, as this can make the illness worse.
There is also a lot of evidence that bipolar disorder can run in families and has a genetic component, although research is in its infancy. As a result, if you have a parent with it, you are more likely to have it yourself. This can be useful when deciding medicine treatment options.
What Psychological treatments help bipolar disorder?
The NHS recommends CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) which is a therapy that aims to change behaviour patterns and thoughts. It says it is most helpful during depressive episodes and should be done with a qualified therapist .
Family or talking therapy- if needed, working as a family to resolve issues that bipolar disorder may have caused. Additionally, talking therapy, unpacking emotions with a therapist can be very helpful to deal with your bipolar and life issues.
You can work with your GP or psychiatrist to find the right treatment for you and they can refer you, although there is a waiting list for NHS treatment.
What should someone with bipolar and their loved ones do in a crisis to get treatment?
There are various ways to get support. These can include phoning your psychiatry team and being referred to the crisis home team who may be able to visit you at home daily and provide mental health support. In an emergency if out of hours, you may need to go to A and E at a hospital for specialist care,. If you are very unwell, you may then be admitted to hospital either voluntarily or under a section of the mental health act.
Make sure you support your loved one with bipolar through this challenging time and try and get them to take their medication too, if safe to do so.
In summary, good care and treatment from a psychiatrist or GP, combined with finding the right medication and being compliant in taking it can really help improve the life of someone with bipolar disorder. Additionally, it's really important to engage with counsellors or psychologists to help support emotional health and try different therapies to help. Group therapies and even arts therapies like art, writing or music can be very healing.
Make sure you seek support if you are in crisis and hopefully with the excellent treatment options that we have in the UK, you can recover again. There are long waiting lists and sometimes treatment on the NHS is not always readily available until you are acutely unwell. So, I would recommend speaking to the Samaritans helpline and practising self care methods like mindfulness and meditation to keep you well too, if you are able.
A diagnosis of bipolar disorder does not have to be the end of your life. Keep reaching for support and find the right treatment options for you.


Pauly looked back before closing the door and saw Principal Borden staring at his computer as if nothing had happened.
"What is this, a place to teach kids how to be ignored?" he mumbled.
"Now it's two weeks of detention Witty! Anything else?" Principal Borden yelled just as Pauly closed the door.
Pauly was still mumbling when he came around the corner and bumped face first into Jack Morder.
"Watch it loser," grumbled Jack.
"Sorry," Pauly said, trying to move past, but Jack quickly stepped in the way.
"Two dollars or you can't pass." Jack said with a sneaky grin.
This was the last straw. Pauly couldn't take anymore. He stepped forward with clenched fists and said, "You're not getting two dollars. Now Move!"
Jack's startled expression quickly turned to a glare as he puffed up his chest.
"Bzzzzz!" The recess bell rang and with it every door in the hallway flew open as an ocean of kids filled the hall, bumping and brushing against them.
Jack backed away slowly, "this isn't over Witty. You owe me and I'm gonna collect!" He turned and disappeared into the crowd. Pauly slumped against the wall, catching his breath. This was turning out to be a really annoying day.
By the time the last bell rang, Pauly was ready to explode. Winfred had forced him to set at the front of the class during a spelling test, afraid he might cheat. And all through lunch and recess, Jack had pelted spit balls at the back of Pauly's head. He was still picking them out as he walked home.
He knew Shari was in trouble because normally she walked the short distance to her house, but today he saw her parents pick her up. Pauly kicked a rock into the gutter, listening to it clank down the drain. As usual he was stuck walking the long way home, to avoid paying Jack's sidewalk toll. Things had to change, he thought, but how?


In some ways, ordination hasn't changed Dcn. Tony Smith. He still continues his role as master of ceremonies for the weekly televised Mass from Ss. Simon and Jude Cathedral and other key liturgies such as the Easter vigil.
He is a markedly different man though. Dcn. Smith has grown in compassion — even for people he will never get the chance to know. It won't be an official part of his ministry, but Dcn. Smith will continue to regularly attend indigent burials at the White Tanks Cemetery. It's something he experienced during formation.
"That's just something I'm drawn to," the deacon said, describing how several inmates, while still in chains, stand guard over the casket and ultimately lower it into the ground.
He's seen them go from very tough to gradually joining in with each "Our Father." The burials are for people who had no other surviving family or whose family couldn't afford a burial of their own.
"It's such a pleasure to be a part of that," Dcn. Smith said.
"What do you say? The next week we were in church. That was someone speaking to me through her," Dcn. Smith said.
He and his wife, Diana, still had concerns about the Church, despite getting married in it. Online research clarified their misconceptions. Contraception was the last hurdle. A series of Christopher West videos convinced them to learn Natural Family Planning and become NFP instructors. A deacon and a priest at an NFP luncheon ultimately encouraged Smith to discern the diaconate.
Other parish ministries had the future deacon supporting Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish in Glendale as lector, extraordinary minister of Holy Communion and the parish council. The Smiths moved to Ss. Simon and Jude Cathedral because it was closer to home. That's where he took note of the adult altar servers.
"It's one thing to be in church — the presence of our Savior is in the tabernacle. But being in the sacristy, His presence is that much closer to you," said Dcn. Smith, who began arriving half an hour earlier just to be in that presence.
Dcn. Smith has been serving there with his son, now 18, for the past seven years and credits God for keeping his children rooted in the Church. Even as adults, they still go to Mass with him Sunday evenings.
"I may serve all day long, but that's our family Mass," Dcn. Smith said.
He's excited to see what ministry he and his wife are called to next. She has long championed his efforts through prayer. The couple enjoys teaching baptism classes.

For the Gazette
PORT JERVIS - A one-hour documentary, "Resilience," that has influenced a growing number of communities, will be shown at Port Jervis High School at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday.
"It chronicles the long-term impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) through a medical lens," said Julika Von Stackelberg, parenting and family life educator at Cornell Cooperative Extension in Middletown. "When children experience toxic stress, it affects their brain development, so it affects the whole person."
She will speak at the screening, as will Nick Pantaleone, assistant superintendent for instruction at Port Jervis School District, who developed the district's mental health curriculum in a "trauma-informed" way.
The documentary is based on a study 20 years ago of the consequence of adverse childhood experiences, such as abuse, parental divorce, incarceration, addiction and depression. Such experiences often happen in combinations, and with six of them, later risk of heart attack is 10 times greater; risk of stroke is 12 times greater, Von Stackelberg said.
"Health risks increase because of how systems develop as the body grows, when children feel unsafe with unpredictable parents who are sometimes caring, sometimes flipping out," she said. "Children's fight-or-flight system is constantly triggered, and their tolerance for the unpredictable is lower. They're more reactive. Blood flows away from the brain and organs into arms and legs, impeding learning and causing havoc with development. That's why stress is more harmful for children than adults, though post-traumatic stress disorder can develop at any age."
Various approaches can prevent or address this pattern, she said. After the film, she and Pantaleone will talk about steps taken at PJSD to offset debilitating stress. Von Stackelberg will also talk about a "cross-sectoral" approach to these issues, involving schools, law enforcement, courts, health care providers, child care, human services, the religious community, human services and other community members.
That cross-sectoral strategy in Walla Walla County, in Washington State, was credited with lowering rates of suicide, domestic violence and juvenile delinquency and raising graduation rates, she said.
"Their success spread, and their work inspired the documentary," said Von Stackelberg. "I saw the film three times and showed it to Darcie Miller, Orange County Social Services commissioner. I said, 'I have a dream - to do the resilience work cross-sectorally.' She said, 'I have that dream too.'"
On Feb. 25, Von Stackelberg showed the film to a cross-sectoral audience of 120.
"I asked, 'Are you in?' They were all in," she said. "They formed working groups to develop a community approach, do trainings and outreach, and teach leaders to 'walk the talk' with a trauma-informed approach."
As Orange County Parenting Coalition co- chair, Von Stackelberg had received a $5000 grant from the New York State Parent Education Partnership to hold five community discussions, or "cafes," showing the film and then talking about what makes a family strong. But the event's popularity led to 50 screenings, she said.
Invitations have gone out across sectors in Port Jervis, to educators, police, health care providers, social service workers and others in the community.
Von Stackelberg said students at the Cornell Institute for Public Affairs are researching the strategy, finding ways to make it replicable and measure progress.

Passyunk Avenue is home to more than just a street name. In London, it is also a Philly-themed restaurant and bar that is bringing the classic cheesesteak to the UK.
The restaurant was created by South Philly native JP Teti, a business owner who first gained recognition with the Liberty Cheesesteaks food truck in London's Spitalfields market. Teti has been working hard for the last three years to bring a part of home to London.
Ironically, Teti wanted to reinvent his business and adopt a new name without "cheesesteak" in the title. He hopes that the new restaurant would be more appealing to Londoners.
"Lots of people in London don't know what a cheesesteak is, in fact, most people don't," he says.
The restaurant menu offers more than just classic cheesesteaks, with traditional buffalo wings and a Reading Terminal cheesesteak to name a few items.
Passyunk Avenue fully launches on April 5th to commemorate the Phillies' 2018 season home opener.

2018 LEADERS IN CARE: EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT: TRACEY STAKES, CHIEF EXECUTIVE, BELONG
Uncategorized by Lee Peart	on August 13, 2018
Tracey Stakes took the reins as chief executive of Belong in 2017, having played an instrumental role in the development and expansion of the Belong village model as finance director and member of the executive team.
She was key to the transformation of the organisation from traditional care home provision to pioneering care villages, offering older people access to a range of facilities, services and accommodation, and specialising in maximising independence and quality of life for people with dementia.
In her first year as chief executive, Tracey has made significant impact in establishing new partnerships and vehicles to enable the expansion of the Belong village model. In particular, she has led the launch of Belong's first retail charity bond, raising £50m from investors. The fact that the bond was oversubscribed is testament to the success of the Belong villages, both in terms of the business model and their positive social impact in providing valuable services for older people.
This demand is seen in the high occupancy levels (over 97%) and growth of its home care and day care services. Belong operates efficiently to ensure surpluses are available to reinvest in high quality services, working environment and expansion.
All Belong services are rated Good or Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission, with two of the Outstanding ratings being achieved in the past year, and the organisation is accredited as a Gold Investor in People, placing significant emphasis on developing its people to become the next generation of leaders.
A powerful testament to Tracey's stewardship was seen in the results of the recent employee survey, which showed that 99% of employees would recommend Belong as a place to work and 95% trust the organisation's leadership.

The wrists are complex and vital joints for improving your arm balance and inversion practice. When we lack motion in our wrists, we compensate by trying to making up the motion at the top of the shoulder and elbow. Conversely, if our shoulder mobility is minimal, we will try to make up for it in our wrists and elbows. It is therefore just as important to focus on shoulder mobility as it is wrist mobility: the two are interconnected. This 10-minute wrist and shoulder warm-up will loosen your joints and ensure your yoga practice is strong, safe, and effective.
This is a 3-minute preview of Dylan's "Shoulder & Wrist Mobility" class.

THE EIGHTFOLD PATH de Charles Johnson & Steven Barnes, illustré par Bryan Christopher Moss
From award-winning authors Charles Johnson and Steven Barnes comes a graphic novel anthology of interconnected Afrofuturistic parables inspired by the teachings of Buddha.
by Charles Johnson & Steven Barnes
illustrated by Bryan Christopher Moss
Abrams ComicArts, January 2022
Eight strangers looking for enlightenment from an ancient spiritual teacher are trapped in a cave high in the mountains on their way to his temple. One of his acolytes directs them to each tell a story that the group can learn from as they wait out the horrible snowstorm that rages outside the cave's entrance. One by one the travelers each share a story that, unbeknownst to them, is actually a morality tale representing one of the aspects of final enlightenment as taught in Buddhism. As the wind howls through the night, they tell symbolic stories of horror, dystopia, high adventure, cyberpunk, and urban fantasy. Each story is a spoke on the symbolic Dharma wheel, and each interlocking tale gets the travelers closer to their true destiny—unveiling the future of the entire human race.
This remarkable collection borrows heavily from the traditions of pop-culture morality anthology series such as The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, Night Gallery, Lovecraft Country, and the publications of E.C. Comics. Heavily influenced by the science fiction pulps of the 1950s and 1960s, this brilliant collection remixes classic social narratives such as Plato's Allegory of the Cave, Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, and The Arabian Nights, through an edgy, contemporary, yet spiritually centered lens. In THE EIGHTFOLD PATH, our destinies lie in heeding the lessons given in every one of these entrancing tales.

Oracle Releases Cloud File System
By Jeffrey Schwartz
Oracle today released software aimed at letting organizations build private clouds by adding elasticity to their applications via a clustered file system.
The company's Cloud File System lets organizations deploy their applications, databases and storage in private clouds. The software provides network access, elasticity and allows organizations to provision pooled storage resources, according to Oracle. Customers can use Oracle database capabilities to manage data stored outside of the database.
"Oracle Cloud File System delivers all the components and characteristics necessary for customers to deploy a storage cloud," said Angelo Pruscino, Oracle's senior vice president of product development, in a statement.
"Organizations can move beyond expensive and difficult to manage and scale hardware and storage silos to a highly available, scalable cloud environment that adapts to change in workloads to meet their service level objectives. Oracle customers can begin down the path to a cloud storage environment today with the Oracle Cloud File System."
The software consists of two primary components: the Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System and Automatic Storage Management Dynamic Volume Manager. Oracle describes the Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System as an industry-standard, general-purpose cluster file system intended for managing data not stored in the database.
According to Oracle, it includes services that protect the file system from human error, system failures or disasters. Security is provided through access controls and file encryption.
Meanwhile, the Automatic Storage Management Dynamic Volume manager provides volume management for Oracle's file system as well as third party file systems. It uses Oracle's Automatic Storage Management (ASM), to create elastic storage platforms, allowing customers to add or subtract storage capacity as data volumes change, Oracle said.
The Oracle Cloud File System costs $5,000 per CPU and is available now for systems running Windows Server, Solaris and AIX.

Raising the Bar for the Sanitary Processing Industry
Barnum Mechanical
Written by William Young
Barnum Mechanical Inc., a mechanical contractor and supplier specializing in sanitary process systems and piping, was founded by welder Tom Barnum in 1980. Barnum, having made his living in sanitary processing, felt he could offer more to the industry with his own approach.
Over forty years later, Barnum is now a full-service design-build firm operating throughout the United States. Business Development Engineer Jared McClintock explains that the company concerns itself with self-performed installations, allowing a turnkey system to be delivered to customers so they can minimize time spent with additional vendors.
Barnum's placement in the industry, according to McClintock, begins with the philosophy that it can provide more value to its customers. "Food and beverage processors are always under huge pressure to produce more at faster speeds and lower cost," he says. "Our solutions last a long time and allow the customer to make product changes easily."
McClintock says that the Barnum installation crews are incredibly skilled, engineering and installing state-of-the-art automated control systems thanks to the partnership of automation and process engineers who who design robust systems that produce consistent products. The company also sports its own custom fabrication shop, allowing it to produce necessary changes for customers with a turnaround of hours as opposed to days. Its systems are designed with total cost of ownership in mind and are built to last and grow and evolve as the user does.
McClintock cites Tom Barnum's history in welding as a reason why the company's welding skills are a point of pride. "Tom has high standards for everything in the company but especially with welding, [as it relates to] techniques, inclusions, stress cracks."
A commitment to innovation is seen in the company's interest in evolving technology and staying ahead in the market. It works frequently with universities like UC Davis and vendors like Alfa Laval to create solutions that help both parties innovate and eventually lead to the best equipment possible for customers' distinctive needs.
The company's use of the design-build model of project delivery is appreciated because it allows clients to partner with the company early in the process and for Barnum to act as an in-house engineering department, while working with them to narrow in on the best solution and innovate in real time. Using the progressive design-build model means that "We get things built in half the time because we focus on what is needed and are working in parallel with the client," says McClintock.
Barnum can design standard food processing systems but it also works with customers to build never-before-seen systems. For example, McClintock relates that the company recently designed and installed a new brewery that uses less than half the normal amount of water to produce its beer and, in turn, removes 99 percent of contaminants from wastewater. This is especially helpful because of how water-intensive craft breweries are.
Barnum also worked with another international company to design a system to turn bio-solids and food waste into green energy. He sees these as very exciting opportunities and admits how lucky it is to have customers who want to innovate and bring these ideas to the market.
Customers today are concerned about health, animal welfare, and sustaining the planet, so new solutions must be adaptable and flexible. Within the last few years, Barnum has relished the opportunity to work with forward-thinking processors like Better Meat Company, Kite Hill, and Impossible Foods among others, allowing it to focus on an emerging market that it believes in and working with passionate people. There is now a global drive in the industry toward more sustainable solutions like plant-based foods, alternative proteins, and cultivated meats. The company is constantly researching and implementing new technologies to promote and implement sustainability.
"Companies don't just want products made to a certain specification but to have it done in a sustainable way," McClintock explains. "This is very fun for us, and we are able to move in the market well because we are nimble."
Generally, most processors are not concerned with aesthetics or the involvement of outside parties, but today's wineries, breweries, distilleries, and cultured meat plants have begun to invite outside eyes into production facilities and even livestream production lines, meaning the demand for showcase installations and a greater aesthetic appeal is necessary. Barnum helps its customers select the right equipment for their needs and fabricates custom parts in-house.
The company has a commitment to sustainability in its processes and outlooks, and McClintock verifies that every system designed by Barnum is built with this in mind, existing as a basic design imperative. Engineers look for ways to recapture both energy and water at any point and design systems to reduce solid waste, biological oxygen demand, and wastewater.
The company takes an end-to-end approach when designing solutions and components, which allows it to reduce the environmental impact in the long run by viewing a project holistically. Its focus on process engineering also allows it to tie one piece of equipment into a facility to minimize negative environmental consequences and to better understand how to save resources.
In 2020, its fortieth year of business, Barnum Mechanical faced the challenge of operating within the global COVID-19 quarantine. The consequences of the pandemic through its supply chains hit it hard as the inherent need for sanitation in the food and beverage industry caused necessary but serious interruptions, a problem that is still ongoing. McClintock remembers that some customers cancelled big capital projects. Conversely, others, such as clients introducing innovative ready-to-eat food products, were made even busier to keep up with increased demands. Barnum's robust safety measures were increased and adapted to keep workers busy and perform the work clients needed, and this achievement is something of which the company is very proud.
McClintock's view of the industry in 2021 is that change is the only constant. "We are not quite back to pre-COVID and won't be until our supply chain problems are solved, but we have had unique opportunities to work with long-term clients on fun and innovative projects." Much growth still lies in emerging markets, and with the industry remaining an essential one, Barnum will look to roll with any punches that come its way and stay abreast of new technology to provide the best customer solutions.
The company is also currently in a growth mode and is looking to hire more engineers. McClintock notes that the company has retained many highly-skilled employees through the past forty years which allows it to confidently innovate.
He defines Barnum as an exceptional company that taps into its forty years of experience to do new things. "Innovative is only relevant to now. We learned what worked and what didn't work," he says. "Having a gut feeling for innovation is unique to Barnum."

2015 March 14 Texana Grand Format Auction - DallasAuction #6137
[Mexican War]. Hiram Frazier Jr. Letters (5)... (Total: 6 Items)
[Mexican War]. Hiram Frazier Jr. Letters (5) plus one from his father, all dated from July 1846 through July 1847. In these letters, the young soldier, a member of the 2nd Kentucky Volunteers Regiment, Co. "C", writes to his family members in Cincinnati, Ohio, about his travels from Ohio to Texas. He also informs them about troop movements and mentions Samuel Walker "of the Texian Rangers." In the final letter, Frazier's father writes home as he travels to Mexico to retrieve the body of his son. Some staining, soiling, and minor dampstaining to the letters. Folds.
On July 26, 1846, from "Brazos Saint Iago Texas," Frazier reports that "We shall soon start on our way to Genl Taylor's camp but by the hardships which we have been told off by the Texian Troops & Louisiana. . . . There is now about 4000 Troops here dischared[?] who volunteered for 6 months and among them is William Goodloe son of the Foundry man I wish you to tell his that he ain't dead yet, as it was reported at home so he says he is well and will be home in a few days. He was with Walker of the Texian Rangers and is coming to N. Orleans with the Jackson Regmt." Months later on December 29, 1846, from Camp Monterey, Mexico, Frazier describes Monterey where "the American Flag floats in triumph over its walls." This letter contains a drawing of Monterey - "Plat of the City of Monterey" - on page three of the bifolium showing the city in the center of five forts surrounded by mountains. Frazier also writes about General Taylor's attempts to meet Santa Anna on the battlefield. Playfully, the soldier adds that Santa Anna had better not fight "for he might get his other leg taken off" (a reference to the Mexican leader's leg amputation in 1838). On February 21, 1847, from "Camp near Saltillo", Frazier writes while with Generals Wool and Taylor's army that they are twenty-five miles from Saltillo. "The artillery with four pieces and five hundred cavalry started this morning . . . to find if the enemy is advancing upon us, if so, we will be ordered from here immediately for a great fight." The final letter is from Hiram Frazier Sr. at "Braso Stantiago" on July 7, 1847, to his family in Ohio informing them about his trip to Texas to retrieve Hiram Jr.'s body.

Join the Rad's Army Radical History Zone on 30th April!

^^TOP^^
We are celebrating two anniversaries this year! 2016 marks the 10th birthday of the Bristol Radical History Group. This year we have also organised the 5th Radical History Zone (RHZ). The RHZ is an autonomous space for ideas about radical history that takes place alongside the annual Bristol Anarchist Bookfair. As ever there will be an eclectic mix of topics taking a critical approach to hidden history, with perspectives and themes rarely explored in conventional histories or the mainstream media.
Members of the home guard of Bristol Radical History Group will kick off the day with the first two sessions. First up we have Mike Richardson's launch for his meticulously researched book about the Barton Hill Cotton Factory, The Maltreated and the Malcontents: Working in the Great Western Cotton Factory 1838-1914. Roger Ball and Steve Mills will follow with their lively account of James Acland, the radical agitator who launched the original Bristolian paper in 1827. Then as now The Bristolian is the 'smiter of the high and mighty' (They don't like it up em!). Both of these sessions are perfect examples of the kind of investigative history that can be carried out to reveal and expose forgotten stories from our own city and neighbourhoods.
Since the first Radical History Zone in 2010, we have also prided ourselves on including first-hand accounts of history in the making. Peter Crump appeared at the first event in Stokes Croft to talk about his adventures in the 1970's eco-anarchist collective Street Farm, which designed the first ecological house, and the heady days of student power at the Architecture Association. Di Parkin shared memories of anarchism in the 1960s in her session entitled 'Running down Whitehall with a black flag'. Last year Mac McConnell recalled the squatting scene and housing activism in Bristol in the 1970s. This year we are excited to host a discussion with David and Stuart Wise, veteran Situationists from that most underground 1960's group, King Mob. The conversation could take us from Newcastle to New York and may cover art and anti-art, the Sex Pistols, revolution then and now, ecology and rare butterflies… we'll have to wait and see! Please do come and join the discussion – permission to speak is not required.
Other sessions in the RHZ have often taken a long view of contentious issues in the present day. This year we are delighted that Molly Conisbee of Bread, Print and Roses will be raising current debates about the railway system and public transport in the context of the 1960's Beeching Cuts. The legacy of this wholesale axing of the rail infrastructure still impacts upon the everyday lives of millions of people. We are also fortunate to have a visit from Eileen Turnball of the Shrewsbury 24 Campaign. This account of efforts to redress the wrongs of a notorious assault upon striking trade unionists is equally topical in the context of the government's current Trade Union Bill to curb workers' organisation. Who do they think they are kidding?
Finally it has also become something of a tradition to include a literary or musical session within the RHZ, such as Pilar Lopez's musical rendition of the Spanish Revolution, Anna Freeman's reading from The Fair Fight her novel about women boxers in 18th century Bristol. Don't panic! – this year is no exception. Ciaran Walsh is going to treat us with a full performance of 'The Red Dagger', Heathcote Williams' epic poem about the 1381 Peasants' Revolt.
Check the contributors' section of the Bristol Radical History Group website for video recordings of past talks and events.
As ever our trusty comrades in the Hydra Bookshop will be hosting and catering at this year's RHZ. The Hydra is a hub of the Old Market community and a treasured space for independent events throughout the year. Support your local radical bookshop and café.
So don't be stupid boys and girls, come along on 30th April. The Radical History Zone is a free event. The Bristol Radical History Group is independent and takes no funding from government or business sponsorship so donations are always welcome.

Anything not explicitly outlined here is left up to the discretion of the event directors on the day of the event. Please contact us if you have any questions about the rules.
The event will be held at Wheeler High School (shown on right). Parking is provided. Please enter Wheeler High School through the main entrance. Volunteers will be standing by to guide participants to check-in.
The competition will begin sharply at 9:00 AM on September 22, 2018. Late students will be admitted, but they will not be given additional time to complete their written test or team challenge. Participants can expect to be finished with the competition at 4PM that day.
There is no cost required to participate in the 3C competition. The 3C team does ask, however, that participants help keep the competition free by purchasing lunch from us and not bringing outside food or beverages into the venue. Lunch pre-orders are available on the registration form.
All 40 questions are multiple choice. Questions have 4 choices: A, B, C, and D. Only one of the answers is correct. Questions with multiple answers marked will be considered incorrect. Questions with no answer marked will also be considered incorrect. There is no penalty for answering a question wrong.
Students receive 45 minutes total to complete the test. At the end of the examination, students will be required to stop testing and turn in their answers. Students that finish early may submit their answers early but will not be allowed to change their answers once submitted. If a participant is looking to receive special timing accommodations, please contact the 3C team through the provided contact form or at 3C@circuitrunners.com.
The only materials needed for the exam are #2 pencils or a black/blue pen. Students without pencils or pens will be provided one by 3C. Participants may not use any other materials or resources on the written test. Students found using outside materials may be penalized or removed from the competition.
Students may bring their phones/electronic device to the exam, but they will be required to silence or turn them off before beginning the exam. Students may not access or use their device until completing and submitting the exam.
At the beginning of the challenge, randomly selected teams of three or four will be revealed. Students will have a brief period to familiarize themselves with their team members before beginning the challenge. Requests for certain students to be placed on the same team shall not be granted.
This challenge will ask teams to construct a website to fulfill a specific purpose, including a list of optional features for implementation. The students will receive two hours to complete the website and as many features as possible. Then, after a one-hour lunch break, students will present their websites in a randomized order. The website and presentation will be scored separately.
The website will be scored based on the number of features implemented and the number of errors.
The presentation will be scored based on the students' skill in presenting and selling their item to the judges.
2 Technical Assistants will be standing by to help with technical difficulties. Students may ask the Technical Assistants questions about the challenge, but Technical Assistants do not have to answer questions if they would give teams an unfair advantage.
Students may use access to transfer files between the two computers.
Students will not access any resources other than those listed above.
Students may not engage in communication with people outside of their team.
Violations of the guidelines outlined above may result in penalties or removal of an individual or team.
Students receive two hours total to work on the project. At the end of the two hours, students will be required to stop working. They will upload their entire directory onto a flash drive. This will be their final product.
Students will receive 6 minutes to present their website. Students are encouraged to work on their presentation during the project period and the one-hour lunch break.
This is an individual award. These awards will be determined using both the team website score and the individual test score. The team presentation score will not be considered.
This is a team award. These awards are given to the entire team and are calculated using only the team presentation score.
This is an individual award given to the person with the highest score on the written test.
This is an individual award given to a student that was helpful and sportsmanlike throughout the competition.

pH balance is essential for healthy skin. When your skin condition changes, say from normal to dry and tight, it's a sign that the pH balance is off. However, in order to change or correct that imbalance, you need to understand what pH balance you are aiming for, causes for the imbalance, and how to affect a change.
pH refers to the levels of acidity and alkalinity. On the pH scale, O is the most acidic and 14 is the most alkaline. Normal skin pH ranges from 4.5 to 6.5, the ideal level for your skin's protective barrier being 5.5 – a slightly acidic level (7 is neutral). When the acidity level of the skin is at about 5.5 it retains moisture and keeps infections and irritants out. But the simple act of washing your face can disturb this delicate balance and cause the condition of the skin to change.
Check your bar soap – most bar soaps contain harsh detergents that are good at clearing the skin of dirt and grim, but they also strip your skin of protective lipids. Studies show that using a skin cleanser that is alkaline, like regular soap, can cause pH imbalance after just one use – and the effect is cumulative over time. Avoid harsh ingredients like sodium-stearate, palmate, tallow and palmitate and see a recommended list of pH friendly products below.
Check your water – water is usually at a pH level of 7 (neutral), which makes your skin more alkaline. Correct this by moisturizing right after washing to rebalance the barrier.
Easy does it – be gentle when washing. Scrubbing the skin can raise pH levels. Maintain control (and the correct amount of pressure when washing) by using hand-held tools like the Clarisonic® Mia2 cleansing system which is designed to apply the right amount of cleansing without damaging the skin.
Watch the acids – glycolic scrubs and other acid peels are an essential treatment for sloughing off dead skin cells and stimulating cellular turnover, but over doing it can severely change your pH level. If your skin is red, irritated or sensitive after an acid peel or scrub, take a break and allow more time (say 4 – 7 days) between treatments.
Use sunscreen – when your skin is sunburned, moisture from within is drawn to the surface to cool and calm it down. That raises the barrier's pH level and the skin can no longer protect or heal itself adequately. Wearing a broad spectrum sunscreen blocks UV rays in the first place and prevents the entire process from happening (that's one more reason to use that sunscreen to protect your skin).
ZenMed Gentle Cleansing Cream – Removes impurities from the skin while preserving natural pH. Leaves skin nourished and soothed. Oil-free, alcohol-free, Doctor-formulated, vegetable-based.
Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser gentle formula removes excess oil, dirt and even makeup while protecting skin's natural moisture barrier to leave it feeling soft—never too dry, never too tight.
Aveno Positivity Radiant Brightening Cleanser – a soy complex that helps improve skin tone, texture and clarity to reveal brighter, more radiant skin. And it lifts away dirt, oil and makeup without over drying.
100% Pure Cucumber Juice Facial Cleansing Foam – A gentle facial foam washes away impurities without stripping or dehydrating your skin. This pure cleansing foam does not contain any synthetic chemicals, artificial fragrances, alcohol, chemical preservatives or any other toxins that can damage or irritate your skins.

Warning this post contains some spoilers!!
I need to talk about the movie Birdbox which I thought was amazing it had a very intriguing plot and was incredibly suspenseful. I felt practically glued to the tv wondering if the characters would survive or not and if we were going to catch a glimpse of the monsters, and in one specific scene we do, and that's through character Gary's drawings even though we never see them on screen we get a pretty good idea what they look like.
There's an extreme amount of hype surrounding this movie, everybody seems to be talking about it, and it's been viewed by 45 million in its first week of release. Netflix has actually put out a tweet saying it has been the best seven days ever for a Netflix film. Before I begin to raise a few questions, which im hoping will be answered soon, let me briefly explain the plot.
Sandra Bullock plays a mum who is struggling to survive on a treacherous journey through the woods with her two young children in a post-apocalyptic world. A mysterious force has inhabited the earth, and if you see it, you will die, by violently committing suicide. Therefore the three of them must embark on a scary journey blindfolded facing whatever threat comes there way. Even though I really enjoyed this movie there are a few questions which I found myself wondering while watching.
Mallorys birds detected any sign of the monster or somebody possessed if that's the case then how come they did not react that way with Greg when he arrived?
Bit random but when they shopped for groceries how the hell did they get everything in that car?
How come Mallory was not affected like her sister in the car?
Where did Lucy and Felix go once they stole the car? did they survive?
How come some people see the monsters and survive?
How did the birds survive after being thrown in the water during the rapids?
What if when Rick sent out radio transmissions searching for other survivors, the monsters showed up instead?
How did they survive for five years with two babies?
How did dr Lapham survive and end up at the sanctuary?
I hope one day we will get these answers because they're driving me crazy. All in all, I did really enjoy this movie it wasn't a watch behind your pillow scary, more of a suspenseful thriller and left me wondering what on earth could happen next. I would definitely recommend watching this it is very good although it leaves some unanswered questions which have made me want to watch again to understand it a little better.
