Woke Elementary
A Cupertino elementary school forces third-graders to deconstruct their racial identities, then rank themselves according to their "power and privilege."
Christopher Rufo
Crossposted at The Wealth and Poverty Review
An elementary school in Cupertino, California—a Silicon Valley community with a median home price of $2.3 million—recently forced a class of third-graders to deconstruct their racial identities, then rank themselves according to their "power and privilege."
Based on whistleblower documents and parents familiar with the session, a third-grade teacher at R.I. Meyerholz Elementary School began the lesson on "social identities" during a math class. The teacher asked all students to create an "identity map," listing their race, class, gender, religion, family structure, and other characteristics. The teacher explained that the students live in a "dominant culture" of "white, middle class, cisgender, educated, able-bodied, Christian, English speaker[s]," who, according to the lesson, "created and maintained" this culture in order "to hold power and stay in power."
Next, reading from This Book Is Antiracist, the students learned that "those with privilege have power over others" and that "folx who do not benefit from their social identities, who are in the subordinate culture, have little to no privilege and power." As an example, the reading states that "a white, cisgender man, who is able-bodied, heterosexual, considered handsome and speaks English has more privilege than a Black transgender woman." In some cases, because of the principle of intersectionality, "there are parts of us that hold some power and other parts that are oppressed," even within a single individual.
Following this discussion, the teacher had the students deconstruct their own intersectional identities and "circle the identities that hold power and privilege" on their identity maps, ranking their traits according to the hierarchy. In a related assignment, the students were asked to write short essays describing which aspects of their identities "hold power and privilege" and which do not. The students were expected to produce "at least one full page of writing." As an example, the presentation included a short paragraph about transgenderism and nonbinary sexuality.
The lesson caused an immediate uproar among Meyerholz Elementary parents. "We were shocked," said one parent, who agreed to speak with me on condition of anonymity. "They were basically teaching racism to my eight-year-old." This parent, who is Asian-American, rallied a group of a half dozen families to protest the school's intersectionality curriculum. The group met with the school principal and demanded an end to the racially divisive instruction. After a tense meeting, the administration agreed to suspend the program. (When reached for comment, Jenn Lashier, the principal of Meyerholz Elementary, said that the training was not part of the "formal curricula, but the process of daily learning facilitated by a certified teacher.")
The irony is that, despite being 94 percent nonwhite, Meyerholz Elementary is one of the most privileged schools in America. The median household income in Cupertino is $172,000, and nearly 80 percent of residents have a bachelor's degree or higher. At the school, where the majority of families are Asian-American, the students have exceptionally high rates of academic achievement and the school consistently ranks in the top 1 percent of all elementary schools statewide. In short, nobody at Meyerholz is oppressed, and the school's high-achieving parents know that teaching intersectionality instead of math is a waste of time—and potentially dangerous.
One parent told me that critical race theory was reminiscent of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. "[It divides society between] the oppressor and the oppressed, and since these identities are inborn characteristics people cannot change, the only way to change it is via violent revolution," the parent said. "Growing up in China, I had learned it many times. The outcome is the family will be ripped apart; husband hates wife, children hate parents. I think it is already happening here."
The small fight at Meyerholz reflects a larger development: for the first time, Asian-Americans on the West Coast have become politically mobilized. In 2019, Asian-Americans ran a successful initiative campaign against affirmative action in Washington State; in 2020, Asian-Americans ran a similar campaign in California, winning by an astonishing 57 percent to 43 percent margin. In both cases, they defended the principles of meritocracy, individual rights, and equality under the law—and roundly defeated a super-coalition of the states' progressive politicians, activists, universities, media, and corporations.
The stakes are high for the Asian-American community. For progressives insisting on the narrative of "white supremacy" and "systemic racism," Asian-Americans are the "inconvenient minority": they significantly outperform all other racial groups, including whites, in terms of academic achievement, college admissions, household income, family stability, and other key measures. Affirmative action and other critical race theory-based programs would devastate their admissions to universities and harm their futures.
At Meyerholz Elementary, the Asian-American families are on high alert for critical race theory in the classroom. Since their initial victory, they have begun to consider campaigning against the school board. "We think some of our school board members are [critical race theory] activists and they must go," said one parent. The capture of our public institutions by progressives obsessed by race and privilege deserves opposition at every level. The parents of Cupertino have joined the fight.
This article is part of an ongoing series on critical race theory in American schools.

Roll up roll up it's going to be a free for all… The pension rule changes remind me of 'Black Friday', consumers raised into a froth of endorfined fuelled frenzy to cash in their chips and the world is theirs.
What we seem to be witnessing is an ill thought through plethora of opinion about how pension investors will spend their pensions post what I term as pension simplification round 2.
Pension investors have not had to purchased a annuity at retirement since 1995.
There will be no fill your boots and cash in your pension chips options at 55. Just like Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Schemes (QROPS) post pension simplification 1 aka 'A' day, the majority will be taxed if any cashing in is attempted. So sense and sensibility will prevail.
The Lamborghini strategy won't happen, most pension pots wouldn't be able to afford a couple of this luxury sports cars tires.
We have researched the high net worth pension investor market and asked 55-65 year olds questions about their views, fears and hopes for the new pension 'freedom' rules. We can't provide too much information here as we're delivering this at our retirement symposium 12th March, but what is clear is that there is a vast misunderstanding about what the rules really mean and a disconnect with the value financial advisers and planners really offer.
"Please explain why you would not use a financial planner or adviser for help on your pension options post April 2015", the answers were unanimously in favour of staying with going direct, product providers or even contacting the gov't (yes Pension Wise).
The reason why financial planners were not deemed a first port of call? Previous experience. They had either had a poor experience or felt 'ripped off' previously in other words their thoughts are anchored in the past. Once bitten twice shy, and heuristics in action.
So what can be done? Well I believe that an education process needs to be taken and fast by the financial planning industry. Whether it's professional bodies, the trade press or planners themselves, re-framing the value of their services to showcase the high value that fee-based advice will provide against the myriad of options post April will go a long way to alleviate these misconceptions.
Planners can re-engage these clients through survey's, seminars, or online propositions.
Wake up your wealth, SaidSo and Portal Financial are some great examples of businesses willing to reframe their propositions to appeal to clients instincts for the very human need for simple solutions.
We'll be tacking the issue of reframing the retirement solution, at the centre of which needs to be high quality professional and clear financial advice and planning.

RODEOHOUSTON
Willie Nelson sold out, ready for RodeoHouston this weekend
Country music legend Willie Nelson is still on track to perform at Saturday's RodeoHouston show.

HOUSTON -- Country music legend Willie Nelson is still on track to perform at Saturday's RodeoHouston show.
There have been concerns about his health as of late after he canceled several shows earlier this year. According to the Houston Chronicle, there were some recent rumors that he would be replaced for RodeoHouston, but his rep tells the media that everything is all good.
If you are hoping to go to the show at NRG you may be out of luck, as expected, it's sold out.
Willie first re-took to the stage at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo after he was forced to cancel several shows in January and February because of illness.
The 83-year-old singer told KSAT-TV in San Antonio that performing is good medicine.
"The more we play, the better we feel," he said. "It's all healthy, I think, to go out and play shows. The people enjoy 'em and we enjoy 'em, so where's the negative, you know?"

Peep Apple Music SA's Top 100 Most Listened To Songs & Albums! Apple Music is undeniably one of the biggest global music streaming platforms that has a grip on a large audience worldwide.
The streaming platform recently revealed the top 100 most played songs in South Africa and unfortunately only had 13 songs of local musicians on the list. Of the 13 songs, only 3 songs are SA Hip Hop artists with Nasty C, Kwesta & AKA representing the genre with Particular, Spirit and Fela In Versace respectively.
On the list for most played albums on the platform, there were only 3 SA Hip Hop albums that made it onto the list. Nasty C's "Strings And Bling" came in at number 13, AKA's "Touch My Blood" followed in at number 19 and Cassper Nyovest's "Thuto" was ranked number 94.


Follow-up to the Detroit hit, Alleys Of The Mind, this track was heading in a more hip hop/electro direction and was released on their own label also as a 7″. As a result of this track, later the same year the group signed to Fantasy and issued a slightly longer 12″ version. It was then remixed by Magic Juan aka Juan Atkins and released once again in 1988.

So many memories of family and since we don't all live in the same town, these photos are a means of reflecting on the love we have for each other… over the miles….
Beautiful large family …. they are the best memories.
Patricia…great minds think alike.:) 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing these precious family reunion photos. I, too, place much sentimental value on the people in my life!
Aww! You have a good sized family, Patricia. Happy times!

Share the post "Yerevan City Supermarket | Armenia's Supermarket with Online Service"
Yerevan City Supermarket is the biggest supermarket chain in Yerevan. It is one of the most popular ones and has many branches in almost every district of Yerevan.
Yerevan City supermarkets are also considered to be some sort of landmarks in Yerevan, because these buildings sometimes help people to orientate in the area. If one day you visit Armenia, we're pretty sure you will have the chance to buy some food from one of Yerevan City supermarkets.
Let's dive in and discover features of this supermarket chain and understand what makes it one of the bests in Yerevan, Armenia.
Yerevan City Supermarket: How It All Started?
The supermarket chain "Yerevan City" works in the Armenian market for over 10 years and is considered to be one of first shopping centers in Yerevan.
The very first Yerevan city supermarket opened its doors back in 2007, on Rubinyants St. The huge success of the first supermarket brought out the need of opening the second one, then the third one and gradually expanding its chain up to 16 supermarkets in the whole capital.
The main ideology of this supermarket chain itself, lays on quality service and variety of offers. This is essential especially on holidays, when supermarkets are overcrowded.
At "Yerevan city" supermarkets, the customer can find all facilities for moving without any difficulties, since a wide area is provided and one can walk around without hitting anyone else, or any cart.
One of the advantages of Yerevan city supermarkets is the wide variety of offered products. Besides, the customer can make a decision, considering not only the brand of the product, but also the price. Prices here are flexible and there are always different kinds of sales.
Yerevan City supermarkets offer goods of different marks and brands. They also offer their own products. They became famous for traditional Armenian lavash bakery.
Armenians love eating lavash, and it is very important for them to buy a tasty and fresh lavash.
You can find these bakeries at nearly 14 supermarkets of Yerevan City all over Yerevan. The interesting thing is, that this lavash is baked and sold right on the spot in this supermarkets. We can probably say, that they offer the tastiest lavash in Yerevan.
Yerevan City also offers its customers another product, which is baked on the spot as lavash. It is the French bread, which is also very famous among Armenians.
You can buy a new-baked and a hot French croissants, sweets and bread in every supermarket of this chain.
This French bread and other sweets, which are made right there at the supermarket, are not available anywhere else, even at restaurants of Yerevan. So, to taste them, you will need to buy from the supermarket.
In Komitas (districts in Yerevan), you can find the biggest Yerevan City supermarket. One can find a huge variety of different products in this supermarket.
This list can go on forever. This hypermarket practically offers everything that a person needs in daily life. The supermarket also includes many other shops inside. And this makes it a shopping center.
You can find there the pharmacy "Natali Pharm", the "Idram" service center, disc stores, a wedding salon, quick payment terminals, ATMs of all leading banks, currency exchange, etc.
On the second floor, you can find more than 30 clothing boutiques to any taste and to any style. Prices vary for all classes and you can find a very cheap product just next to a very expensive one.
How to get to Komitas Yerevan City Supermarket?
It is very easy to get to Komitas, as it is considered to be one of the most well-known districts of Yerevan and is quite close to the city center.
There are many public means of transport going there from every part of Yerevan. You can also take a taxi, but this would cost a little bit more.
It is difficult to distinguish which one of these supermarkets is the best. But we can try to find out which one is the most convenient and for what reason.
One of the most convenient stores of Yerevan City is situated on the first floor of Dalma Garden mall. Dalma mall is one of the most visited places of Yerevan.
There are many clothing shops, entertainment halls, fast food restaurants. The Cinema Star is situated there as well. So, a supermarket in this area is a good opportunity to buy some stuff for your house before leaving the Mall.
The next Yerevan City supermarket is situated on Mashtots avenue. It is mostly known among people as Yerevan City Prospect. It can be considered as another convenient one. There are several reasons for that. It is situated on the central and the longest avenue of Yerevan.
It is very easy to get there, as the supermarket is situated in the very center of Yerevan and every 3rd public transport is passing that area. It is also very close to the Republic Square of Yerevan.
If you want to know better about the offers of this supermarket, then you can visit their website. Unfortunately, there is no online shop available at the moment.
Prices of the offered products are not that high in comparison with the other supermarkets of Yerevan. We could say that prices are nearly equal. Besides, it has a huge sales system and there are always different lotteries for loyal customers, where people win range of household appliances.
If you need to visit one of these superamarkets, here are the addresses of all 16 supermarkets of Yerevan City chain.

Kyoukai no RINNE 27 (When lions attack, and more fun stuff.)
April 28th, 2016 AstroNerdBoy
Kyoukai no RINNE 27
The high school tennis club brings a case to Rinne regarding tennis balls that just go missing. Rinne discovers the male ghost of a second year student who'd been a ball boy for the tennis club during his first year, but who'd died before he was able to play in his second year. The ghost is up for a game of doubles and is teamed up with Sakura against Rinne and Tsubasa, but he sucks. Rinne gives him a racket with at Tsukumogami sticker to make it alive, but when Tsubasa tries to interfere, the racket becomes enraged and beats Tsubasa to ash. Meanwhile, the ghost becomes content just practicing tennis with Sakura.
Tsubasa takes a case of parents who's teen son is haunted. Tsubasa frees the son, but the ghost, a beauty from the past named Yayoi, has a request that since she died with an unrequited love, that he pretend to be her boyfriend for a while. He agrees, but is worried about what Sakura will say. Rinne is suspicious of the ghost's intentions, but since Tsubasa insists, he leaves Tsubasa to it. Tsubasa and Yayoi do all sorts of things that nearly cause Tsubasa's death. Further, Tsubasa has tons of freak accidents. Rokumon finds Yayoi's love letters to the poor scholar who'd married an ugly, rich girl. Rinne figures out that Yayoi wants to send Tsubasa to the afterlife to be with her. Rinne tries to warn him, but he already knows and just wants to help Yayoi. Rinne tells Yayoi that her plan won't work as she'll be cast into hell and Tsubasa will be reborn. As such, she gives up and passes on, asking Tsubasa to go out with her when she's reborn.
I'm so glad that this series is so much fun. The manga had been a disappointment to me, but the anime certainly hasn't. Certainly, Kyoukai no RINNE 27 is no exception to this.
The first story was the weaker story, but it was still fun. I enjoyed seeing Tsubasa taking a beating for being stupid. However, Tsubasa's stupidity here made his role in the second story have more meaning. More on that in a bit.
Although I've never watched it, I am well aware of the classic anime title Ashita no Joe. More specifically, I'm aware of its infamous ending. Kyoukai no RINNE 27 parodies that moment when Tsubasa goes down, complete with the cross-counter punches and Tsubasa quoting Joe's words from the final episode of Ashita no Joe, citing Joe's prediction that he'd burn out and turn into pure white ash. It was a great moment and made me wish I had watched Ashita no Joe, even though a boxing anime wouldn't be my thing.
The second story was funnier, but also more touching. On the humor side, the slapstick comedy elements of Tsubasa coming into near death situations kept making me laugh out loud. Yayoi getting embarrassed and giving Rinne a beating amused me as well.
I think this moment with Tsubasa's and Yayoi's date to the zoo was the funnies of those moments. The second I saw the lions, I knew what was in store. The looks on the lion's faces as they open the cage let me know the production team knew we knew and were just having fun with the whole thing. I loved it.
On the sweet and touching side, I liked how Tsubasa understood that Yayoi had a bad, ulterior moment in that she wanted to send him to hell. However, he was determined to see her through until then end by continuing to date the ghost. As Rinne stated at the end of the episode, without Tsubasa's efforts here, Yayoi wouldn't have peacefully passed on as she did.
I'd like to see this episode start to make Tsubasa handle spirits differently from now on. He's always had a "throw the holy ash first, ask questions later" mentality, whereas Rinne has always wanted a peaceful resolution if possible. Because of Tsubasa's efforts with with Yayoi, it would be a shame for that character development to be lost for the sake of stupid or tired gag jokes.
In the end, Kyoukai no RINNE 27 was a fun episode who's second half was better than its first half.

Interesting. I don't watch a ton of anime but I'm always looking for something unique to capture my attention. Might try this one out.
The first season was surprisingly good. The second season has continued that.

#1474: She Films Through A Lens Of Compassion
On this week's 51%, we meet a filmmaker whose mission is to raise awareness and instill compassion for all beings, we hear about a program to get more female police officers into leadership and listen to an essay about toilet flowers.
https://wamcpodcasts.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/51__show_1474.mp3
Emmy-award winner Allison Argo is known for her emotionally-charged and deeply personal films – in particular her intimate portraits of abused and endangered animals. The award-winning films she's produced, directed and written have all been broadcast by PBS and/or National Geographic and have reached audiences worldwide. "The Last Pig" continues Argo's mission to provide "a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves"– and to deepen understanding and respect for all beings. 'The Last Pig" recently screened at the Woodstock Film Festival in New York and is about a pig farmer in the Capital Region of the state. The film follows a pig farmer through his final year of slaughtering pigs as he comes to a life-changing decision. I asked her why she took on this subject and why she chose the farm she did.
That was award-winning filmmaker Allison Argo, speaking about her documentary "The Last Pig." Her films have won six Emmys and 100 awards internationally. You can find more information at thelastpig.com and argofilms.com
A majority of police departments in New York are commanded by men. As more women join the force, a week of training that took place in Saratoga Springs was to prepare female officers for leadership roles. 51%'s Lucas Willard has the story.
That was 51%'s Lucas Willard reporting.
NEW YORK (AP) — Embracing a historic change, the Boy Scouts of America announced Wednesday plans to admit girls into the Cub Scouts starting next year and to establish a new program for older girls using the same curriculum as the Boy Scouts.
Under the plan, Cub Scout dens — the smallest unit — will be single-gender, either all-boys or all-girls. The larger Cub Scout packs will have the option to remain single gender or welcome both genders. The program for older girls is expected to start in 2019 and will enable girls to earn the coveted rank of Eagle Scout. The Boy Scouts board of directors, which approved the plan unanimously in a meeting at BSA headquarters in Texas, said the change was needed to provide more options for parents. The Girl Scouts of the USA criticized the initiative, saying it strained the century-old bond between the two organizations. Girl Scout officials have suggested the BSA's move was driven partly by financial problems and a need to boost revenue.
You'll now hear from writer Dr. Jeri Burns, who offers a story about perspective.
Dr. Jeri Burns is a storyteller, writer, and educator living in New York's Hudson Valley. You can find her at storycrafters.com. She also is an adjunct professor in the Department of Communication at the State University of New York at New Paltz.

To develop a serum-based assay to detect neutralizing antibodies to the xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) retrovirus and to use this assay with polymerase chain reaction and fluorescence in situ hybridization to identify patients with prostate cancer previously exposed to XMRV infection and those who carry XMRV viral sequences in their prostate.
Patients who had undergone radical prostatectomy were enrolled, and biologic specimens were obtained at surgery. The patients were genotyped for the R462Q RNASEL variant using a TaqMan genotyping assay on DNA from the peripheral blood. A serum assay that detects XMRV neutralizing antibodies was developed and used to determine which patients had serologic evidence of previous infection with XMRV virus. Some of these patients were also tested for the presence of XMRV nucleotide sequences in their prostate using polymerase chain reaction and fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis.
At a serum dilution of 1:150, our assay detected 11 (27.5%) of 40 patients with XMRV neutralizing antibodies, including 8 (40%) of 20 with the RNASEL genotype QQ and 3 (15%) of 20 with either the RQ or RR genotype. These results were in complete concordance with 2 other assays (polymerase chain reaction and fluorescence in situ hybridization), which were designed to detect XMRV infection.
XMRV infects some patients with prostate cancer. Neutralizing antibodies against XMRV correlated with 2 independent methods of detecting the virus in the prostate. The antibody response suggests that with clinical serologic assay development, it might be possible to screen patients for XMRV infection. The cases presented in the present report provided biologic samples that can be used for the development of a clinically relevant assay.

Thank you much, If!
I'd like to compare the two neutralizing assays, The one used in the Groom/Kerr paper and this one. Also, I wonder when the test is going to be available to the public?? Should we flood Emory University with requests for access to the test?? (big grins)
So are we all sitting around lapping up . . . I mean drinking our coffee this morning checkin' the web? (I'm working on my table manners so I can sit with the big dogs, I mean people some day. Grin)

Yeah, so when do you get tested Gerwyn?

note patients who currently have DNA and those who by implication dont have a look at the methodology!

Someone explain to me how seeing it in 11 of 40 who have the virus means it is a good assay.
Is my brain just not computing again?

"At a serum dilution of 1:150, our assay detected 11 (27.5%) of 40 patients with XMRV neutralizing antibodies"
I think they mean that they detected it in 11 patients out of the 40 patients tested, not out of 40 XMRV known positives. But I can see how you would interpret it that way because of the order of the sentence.
The results they got were the same results as the PCR and FISH. In other words according to PCR and FISH only 11 of 40 were infected. So the serological test was in concordance with the other results, therefore we win we made the test first.
I don't really get the "previous infection" wording part Gerwyn, I mean anybody infected was infected 'previously'. We're not talking about anybody who is being infected "currently" right???? So any infection is a 'previous infection' (head scratch)
It's because an antibody can't give you information on whether you are now infected, only that you were exposed at some point in time. When you are talking about a retrovirus though, it is usually assumed that an antibody = previous infection = current infection, since retroviruses can't be completely eliminated.
cfs since 1998 said:
Yeah, that's what I was trying to say (grins) what CFS articulated so well! Thanks
the key word there is assumed they could not find it in the dna or in the blood so where is it
yes i know but it is an assumption and not fact i would love to see the entire methodology .XMRV is the first human gamma.When the term retroviruses is used it is genericised usually referring to known human retros. we really dont know very much about xmrv so we are assuming a hell of a lot.
It is hopelessly written.I read it the other way.Anyway of finding the full methodology to confirm or otherwise?
Chronic infection, though, appeared largely limited to CD4+ T cells in lymphoid organs -- spleen, lymph nodes, and GI tract -- as well as in reproductive organs, including prostate, testes, ovaries, vagina, and cervix.
sorry my bit is mixed with yours above
We know about chronicity over a few months but the rest is anyones guess
They don't expect it to be a high rate in prostate cancer. They think it is a subset. I think this is higher percentage than earlier study of prostate cancer.
The patients were genotyped for the R462Q RNASEL variant using a TaqMan genotyping assay on DNA from the peripheral blood. A serum assay that detects XMRV neutralizing antibodies was developed and used to determine which patients had serologic evidence of previous infection with XMRV virus. Some of these patients were also tested for the presence of XMRV nucleotide sequences in their prostate using polymerase chain reaction and fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis.
Does anyone know if this is part of the CFS type XMRV? Don't trust my ability to check Science paper. Is this an antibody test for CFS XMRV verified by another lab? WPI probably knew this was coming out.

203 – July 21 – THIS DAY IN BAPTIST HISTORY PAST
Oh, that I had another life to go to Africa
Alfred Saker, as an old emaciated missionary stood before a united assembly of Baptists in Glasgow, Scotland in 1879 and said, "Oh, that I had another life to go out to Africa. The field is white, and the multitudes are in darkness still."
The Dark Continent's best-known missionary, David Livingstone, wrote concerning him, "Take it all in all, specially having regard to its many sided character, the work of Alfred Saker at Cameroons and Victoria is, in my judgment, the most remarkable on the African Coast," having served on the Western Africa coast for 37 years.
He was born on July 21, 1814 in Kent, England. He was a thin, frail boy from a large family. Though he loved reading it was necessary for him to enter the work force with his father as a millwright and engineer which served him well in Africa years later. He was saved at 16 years old when he wandered into a gospel service in Sevenoaks. He was baptized in 1834 in his hometown. Upon his father's death, he moved to Devonport and in 1839 married Miss Helen Jessup.
They offered themselves to the Baptist Missionary Society for service in Africa. In a group of eight they landed in Feb. 1844. One by one the others were forced to leave but Alfred, frail though he was, seemed to have inexhaustible energy. Though he suffered from fever and other diseases he persisted in working with the tribes at the mouth of the Cameroon River. In 1849 a church was formed. The Spanish Govern. Insisted that the Baptists depart so he led his entire church to Amboises Bay where they began a new colony with homes and gardens, etc. He translated the Bible into Dualla in 1862. He passed into the Lord's presence in March 1880. His life's text was, "For thou art with me."

George Grenfells
He knew not retreat
1876 – George Grenfell, Congo's Pioneer and Explorer, having just married, sailed with his new bride for Africa. Within a year she succumbed to dysentery, and sometime later George remarried his second wife Rose, who was able to travel with him on many of his most thrilling journeys. George had been reared in a very religious Anglican home in England but was influenced by a Baptist Sunday school at the Heneage Street Baptist Church at Birmingham. It was during this time that he read Livingstone's Travels and dedicated himself for service in Africa. He then entered Bristol Baptist College in 1873, but learning that his missionary hero, Alfred Saker was in England, after connecting through correspondence, accompanied him to the Cameroons, beginning his work in Africa at twenty-five years of age. In August 1877, Henry M. Stanley, having been sent to find Livingstone, appeared at the mouth of the Congo, and the world was electrified in that it had taken him three years to go from the east to the west coast. Even though the Cameroons were six hundred miles north of the Congo River, Grenfel was immediately burdened to plant the message of the cross through this great waterway. In God's providence, a wealthy man in England provided a ship to penetrate Central Africa with the gospel that was made available for Grenfell's use. With untold sacrifices and privations he gave himself to the work. He buried his children in Africa and grieved continually over the deaths of his fellow missionaries. But he wrote, "God's finger points ONWARD! FORWARD! What caused him the most pain was the indifference of the home churches to sending missionaries. When his mission agency considered receding, he wrote, "It is either advance or retreat; but if it is retreat, you must not count on me, I will not be a party to it, and you will have to go on without me." Grenfell died on July 1, 1906.

She literally gave of herself
1886 – Louise (Lulu) Celestia Fleming was appointed by the Woman's American Baptist Foreign Missionary Society of the West. Lulu Fleming had heard the story of her grandfather's capture in Africa and enslavement in Florida. After she was brought to a saving faith in Jesus Christ and baptized in 1877, while in her teens, she had dreamed of returning to "her people", and began to plan her life with that reality in mind. She was educated at Shaw University in Raleigh, N.C. Then with the encouragement of Dr. Kellsey of the Sixth Av. Church in Brooklyn, N.Y., and the financial assistance of the "Young Ladies Home Mission Society," she enrolled in Estey Seminary Course, graduating as the class valedictorian in 1885. After a great revival had broken out in the Congo, she answered the call for young women to come to assist in the training of new converts. She set sail in March of 1887 and arrived on the field in May. She served in Palabala as a matron for the station girls and a teacher in the schools. She wrote on Jan. 10, 1891, "…More people have been reached this past year, and some have turned from sin and darkness into light." Her health failed and she had to return to the states in 1891. While there she enrolled in the full medical course at the Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania and graduated in 1895. Having united with the Grace Baptist Church of Philadelphia, she returned to the Congo the same year with full support from her home church. She literally gave herself for her "own people" and contracted the dreaded African Sleeping Sickness and died. Miss Fleming was buried in Philadelphia on June 14, 1899.

They called her "Mama"
1943 – The Baptist Mission Society of Great Britain passed a resolution in the memory of Lydia (Lily) Mary De Hailes, the first single lady missionary to be appointed by them. It read in part, "She loved the African with a deep and passionate devotion and she longed with her whole life that he might be brought to Christ…" Lily was born into a fine Christian family in North London, and in her youth she was introduced to the cause of missions, even hearing Dr. Robert Moffatt, the pioneer missionary to Africa. After her school years, a severe case of smallpox left her permanently scarred, and she also suffered a lifelong bout with headaches, but nothing kept her from her goal of missionary service. A study of medicine, and her families uniting with Pastor James Stewart's Baptist Chapel in Highgate, which was a hotbed of missions, that during his tenure saw fifty-one of his members leave for missionary service, prepared her even more for her life's work. Next she moved to Edinburgh Scotland to train at the Simpson Memorial Hospital in 1881-1882 where she met Rev. Alexander Cowe, who planned to serve in the Congo. In 1885 they were engaged with the understanding that she would follow him in about a year. Tragedy struck, however, as he fell sick and died after just five weeks in Africa. The Mission Society refused to send a young woman to the field, thus her hopes were doubly dashed. However, in 1889 Lily was allowed to go as a nurse with other missionaries, and this started her forty year ministry in Africa. They called her "Mama", and she received the Chevalier of the Order of Leopold II from Belgium. [Edna M. Staple, Great Baptist Women (London: Carey Kingsgate Press Limited, 1955), p. 97.

Alfred Saker, as an old emaciated missionary stood before a united assembly of Baptists in Glasgow, Scotland in 1879 and said, "Oh, that I had another life to go out to Africa. The field is white, and the multitudes are in darkness still." The Dark Continent's best-known missionary, David Livingstone, wrote concerning him, "Take it all in all, specially having regard to its many sided character, the work of Alfred Saker at Cameroons and Victoria is, in my judgment, the most remarkable on the African Coast," having served on the Western Africa coast for 37 years. He was born on July 21, 1814 in Kent, England. He was a thin, frail boy from a large family. Though he loved reading it was necessary for him to enter the work force with his father as a millwright and engineer which served him well in Africa years later. He was saved at 16 years old when he wandered into a gospel service in Sevenoaks. He was baptized in 1834 in his hometown. Upon his father's death, he moved to Devonport and in 1839 married Miss Helen Jessup. They offered themselves to the Baptist Missionary Society for service in Africa. In a group of eight they landed in Feb. 1844. One by one the others were forced to leave but Alfred, frail though he was, seemed to have inexhaustible energy. Though he suffered from fever and other diseases he persisted in working with the tribes at the mouth of the Cameroon River. In 1849 a church was formed. The Spanish Govern. Insisted that the Baptists depart so he led his entire church to Amboises Bay where they began a new colony with homes and gardens, etc. He translated the Bible into Dualla in 1862. He passed into the Lord's presence in March 1880. His life's text was, "For thou art with me."

"The Father of Western Africa Missions"
November 10, 1828 – Lott Carey, "The Father of Western Africa Missions" died of an accident less than ten years from the time that his little missionary group sailed from Norfolk, Virginia, aboard the "Nautilus" for Liberia, on Jan. 23, 1821. His farewell sermon, preached in the meeting-house of the First Baptist Church had made a lasting impression on Deacon William Crane who had begun a school for black men in 1815. Classes were held 3 nights each week. 20 black men were enrolled, including Lott Carey. The regular course was supplemented with articles on missions. Now here was the result of that effort taking root in the hearts of this black slave who had lived so frugally that he had purchased his and his two children's freedom for $850. He purchased a farm for $1500 and worked for an annual salary of $800. He was offered a 25% raise to stay instead of going to Africa which he rejected. Crane had recommended Carey and Colin Teague, another former slave, to the American Board of Foreign Missions and they were both accepted. Teague had told Crane that he should be surprised to hear Carey preach. Carey preached from Rom. 8:32. Mr. Crane said that he had such a vivid memory of it that Carey "at the close dwelt on the word, freely, and rang a succession of perhaps a dozen changes upon the word in a manner that would not have dishonored Whitfield." In Liberia, Lott planted the Providence Baptist Church, which was the first Baptist church in Africa. He served as medical officer, soldier, and governmental inspector while leading his church in evangelism and education. He had been intemperate and profane as a young man but had been converted through the preaching of Rev. John Courtney, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Richmond Virginia.

The deepness of the Word
There is, today, a move away from the deep endearing knowledge of God and what He wants us to know. We are shallow in knowledge, relationship and living. We can no longer call our selves Christians because we do not pass the test of "Christ like." We want what we want and tend to move through the buffet line of the Bible, picking and choosing our desires. By this we allow our selves to indulge in worldly thought and actions.
We are called to be a separate people, distinct from the world and its practices. Those that call themselves Christians today practice worldly things and are no longer identifiable as Christians.

Meade girls basketball handles North County in playoff victory
By Mike Morea
Capital Gazette |
Meade's Zaynah Robinson, seen shooting the ball against Old Mill earlier this season, scored a team-high 15 points in a playoff win against North County on Friday, Feb. 28. (Terrance Williams/Capital Gazette)
This time around, no tempers flared and no punches were thrown. Cooler heads prevailed, but one team got beat up rather handily on the scoreboard.
The Meade girls basketball team scored the first 15 points of the game against North County on Friday en route to a 72-23 win in a Class 4A East, Region I quarterfinal. The Mustangs move on and will travel to Old Mill for a 5:30 semifinal contest on Monday.
The last time these two teams met just two weeks ago, the game had to be halted when a scuffle broke out in the fourth quarter with Meade ahead. The game was called at that juncture, with the win going to the Mustangs. Subsequently, the boys game, which was to follow, was postponed to a later date.

The Mustangs' defense was spectacular throughout the contest, limiting the Knights to just seven field goals on 34 attempts, a 20.6 shooting percentage. North County committed 29 turnovers, with six coming in the opening four minutes of the game when the Mustangs sprinted out to the 15-0 advantage.
"(Our defense) is what we are known for. That is the thing we work on the most in practice," Aanika O'Connor said. "These girls have the heart and the ability to play aggressive defense from start to finish. So that's what we continue to just stress upon them. That's the thing we do. That's our bread and butter."

Zaynah Robinson came out firing from the start, jacking up a 3-pointer just 40 seconds into the game. She followed with another 3-point attempt, but was fouled and made all three shots from the charity stripe. Ayanni Brown got in on the action with a trey of her own, and later hit a field goal that made it 15-0 with 3 minutes, 55 seconds left in the opening quarter. In between, Symphonie Bryant-Brown made her first three and Reid hit a free throw.
Charia Johnson's two free throws finally got North County on the board, but the quarter ended with the hosts ahead 21-5. After the first eight minutes, North County had yet to sink a field goal.
"I think our mindset was to just keep pushing," Robinson said. "We just wanted to win this game and get to the next. I think we did great on defense. It was just our mindset. We pushed and honestly just played good defense."
Northeast to host Apple Valley Waste Senior All-Star Classic for first time
Organizers have announced the 32nd annual Apple Valley Waste Senior All-Star Classic will be held at Northeast High for the first time in its history.
It was more of the same in the second quarter, with the exception that North County's Aireona Holland briefly caught fire, scoring eight of her team-leading 12 points in a 1:50 span in the middle of the frame. However, Robinson almost matched her output with six points and Bryant-Brown added five as Meade moved out to a 40-14 lead at intermission.
With the 26-point lead, all of Meade's players in uniform had their chance to show their talent, resulting in every player in the scorebook netting points with Robinson leading the way with 15. Bryant-Brown followed with 13, while Jaela Reid and Carlissa Hill each provided eight.

Meanwhile, the short-handed Knights managed just nine points over the final 16 minutes. Meade scored 23 more than that.
Overall, the Mustangs sank nine 3-pointers, and O'Conner gives all her players the nod to shoot from behind the arc when they have the shot.

"We have shooters. We have girls that have put in a lot of work in the offseason and they came out with the ability to put the ball in the basket," O'Conner said. "So we don't ever want to restrict them from what they are able to do. We want to let them play their game."
For the Knights, Johnson and Jayln Baynard each scored three points, while Brianna Hopkins and Morgan Youngbar had just two points apiece.
"(Meade) had a lot to do with our turnovers and our shooting. They are a really good team. They are better than a good team," North County coach Dan Mangum said. "They're quick, they have all the ingredients. They can shoot, they can run, they can pass and they can handle the ball. It is tough to defend. I give them all the credit in the world. They're a great team.

"We just tried to calm the girls down after that start and try to get back to basics. If we can't make a pass with them pressing, then their speed and quickness just turns you over right away and they convert," added Mangum, who was playing without two starters. "They have a shot to win it all."

The Wildcats had three champs to outpace Chesapeake (183), Annapolis (170), South River (160.5) and Old Mill (134.5).
With Old Mill on the horizon, O'Conner knows that with just one day of practice before game time, she will have her team in the same mindset as they were going into the North County game.

"Every game, we look to go in and compete. No matter what the outcome is going to be or no matter how we played the game before," O'Conner said. "We take it one game at a time. When we step on the floor, we look to compete and leave it all in between the lines. So that's what we are looking for on Monday."

Wouldn't it be great if life was always simple and easy? You could just spend your time doing what you wanted to do, feeling happy, and never worrying about anything. Of course, it takes barely even a glance and the world outside to confirm that that is far from the case. In reality, life can be incredibly tough sometimes. You're always going to have to deal with difficult decisions, things you weren't expecting, and unpleasant circumstances that are out of your control. What is in your control, however, is how you react to those kinds of situations. Being able to respond to certain things that happen in your life properly is one of the most important things there is. However, that doesn't make it easy. With that in mind, here are some the bumps along the road that you might come up against in your life, and how you can best deal with them.
For a lot of people, it can be incredibly easy to define yourself almost entirely in terms of your career. After all, when it comes to what you do for a living, that can become a very significant part of who you are. Because of that, ending up in a situation where you find yourself suddenly unemployed can really throw you for a loop. For one thing, you're suddenly forced to worry about your finances in a way that you might not have before. But you also have the emotional fallout of losing something that you might have previously used to define yourself in a really significant way. The very best way to deal with being made unemployed is to get back on the horse right away. Make sure that you push yourself to apply for new jobs as quickly as possible and keeping your CV up to date even while you're still working can make that whole process a lot easier.
It's a fact of life that relationships come and relationships go throughout your life but that doesn't make it any easier to deal with when it happens. If you're dealing with some kind of break up, then one of the most important things that you can do is just to allow yourself to feel that way and not to give yourself too much of a hard time over it. Sure, you need to try and push forward with your life, but it's okay if you need to take some time to get over your breakup. If you're in a position where a more significant relationship is breaking down, then there may come a time when you have no real choice but to talk to someone like Austin Kemp divorce solicitors. No one likes to admit when their relationship is beyond repair but the truth is that sometimes the healthiest thing that you two people can do is to go their separate ways.
Most of us are pretty conscious of our health. We eat right; we try to stay active, we get as much sleep as possible. However, there are times when, despite all of that, you could still end up suffering some kind of health problem. The most important thing that you can do when faced with that kind of situation is to talk to someone qualified as soon as possible. A lot of people are rather reluctant to go to a doctor for a few reasons. For one thing, doctor's offices are generally pretty sterile and unpleasant environment, and there's also the factor that a lot of people are tempted to hide their heads in the sand when it comes to any potential health problems. If you're feeling worried about your health, then the very best thing that you can do is to speak to someone as soon as you start to notice any symptoms or become concerned. Don't wait until things get serious to deal with them.
There are few things in life more awful than losing someone important to you. There's no set way for you to deal with this kind of situation, so it is just a matter of finding the coping mechanisms that work for you. One of the most important things is not to try and force yourself in any way. If you're struggling and you need help, then that's okay. You may not be able to return to work right away, or you might need to speak to someone qualified to help you process your grief. These are both totally valid options that you are totally welcome to consider. Never try to force yourself to "get over" something so significant before you're ready.
Few things are going to knock you back quite as harshly and suddenly as some kind of accident. Whether you've been hurt at work or while out on the road, getting in an accident can be an incredibly traumatic experience. The first thing that you need to do is obviously to seek any necessary medical attention. After that, you should think about finding some way to hold whoever was responsible for the accident accountable. There are plenty of organisations out there that can help you do that and it's crucial that you pursue it. After all, an accident like that can impact your life in a lot of ways other than just your personal wellbeing. In particular it can have a massive impact on your finances and it's important that you're properly compensated if that happens.
One of the most important things to remember is that no matter what kind of circumstance you find yourself in, you never have to deal with it alone. There seems to be this idea among a lot of people that you shouldn't need to lean on anyone else in order to get by in life, but that's simply not the case. No matter what it is that you're going through, you should always be willing to reach out to the people in your life for help and support. There are also professional organisations that can help you get through difficult periods in your life much more easily. You might be tempted to handle it on your own, but there's nothing wrong with needing a helping hand when you're going through a tough time.


As you may be aware, in the early hours of 27th October, Maureen passed peacefully away. She was in her own home, in no pain and with her family close by. One of the last things that she said before she passed was 'Guardian Angel' so we feel comforted that an angel came to guide her onto the next part of her journey.
We have arranged her funeral, a celebration of her life, for Thursday 12th November at 4pm.
Maureen was a colourful person so we ask that people dress colourfully and comfortably - to match her spirit.
In line with her wishes, we ask for family flowers only. There will be a collection at the Crematorium for Macmillan Cancer Support, whom provided much care to Maureen. There is also an alternative collection online to support a Swanwick bursary for young writers (TopWrite).
It would be appreciated if you could confirm if you will be able to join us for the funeral (RSVP to terzarima25@hotmail.com or call Tony on 0115 960 4771).
Thank you for all your support and well wishes over the last few days and weeks. It really did help to bring some light to our darkest days.
Any payments should include payee's name – reference MJ.
Or by cheque to the Treasurer. Please write "MJ" on the reverse of your cheque.

Palma is an architecture office based in Mexico City and Sayulita. It was founded by Ilse Cárdenas, Regina De Hoyos, Diego Escamilla and Juan Luis Rivera, all of whom studied at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México UNAM School of Architecture.
The practice is geared towards finding integrated and individual solutions to each architectural problem. Their approach is based on a detailed analysis of the immediate context and a design process that is open to experimentation and exploration. The result is a constant search towards an architecture of atmospheres that move people and truly belong.
Some projects which stand out are Community Center in San Pedro Apatlaco, first prize in an open-call competition, the exhibition design for "MXCD01-Presente" at Archivo's Diseño y Arquitectura. "AROS" pavilion/playground for kids in the historic center of Mexico City, the result of the "Juguetes Urbanos" competition.
Currently, they are developing projects of different scales and typologies across Mexico.
Their work has been published in national and international media. They have been invited to give different lectures and workshops across the Mexican territory. Palma recently participated in the Architecture Forum "Afuera" celebrated in Beijing, China.
For this home renovation in Sayulita, two main actions were executed. In the center of the house, where the original kitchen was located, part of the roof was removed to create an interior patio that serves as an entrance hall and distribution between the private and public areas. When removing the cover, it was decided to preserve the original wooden structure that supported the concrete slab as a witness to the intervention that happened.
The second action consisted of incorporating a new volume that adheres to the existing construction to accommodate the public area. A masonry base on which the window framing is positioned, the new element allows a constant visual relationship with the outside, taking advantage of the privileged views towards the sea and the beach.
The roof of the new volume is a palapa, a characteristic type of construction of the coastal areas of Mexico, based on a wooden structure covered with palm leaves. The public area manages to expand the space by opening on one side towards the interior patio of the house and towards a terrace that intensifies the relationship with the outside on the opposite side.
From the moment you enter the house, the vegetation is always present. In the central patio, an elevated planter houses a variety of hanging plants that fall towards the stone fountain. The transition space between the existing and the new construction is diluted through the landscape project. Finally, in the patios of the bedrooms, the use of plants allows privacy between the views to which the different bathrooms in the house open.
In addition to the two main factions, a rearrangement and distribution of the bedrooms and bathrooms were carried out to take advantage of the space.

Q: How to check if Google AdSense working correctly in my ASP.NET website? I have an ASP.NET website that contains some Google AdSense, and I wondered if it's possible to check programmatically whether that ads works correctly or not!

If it's possible, how to do that in VB.NET (Or C#)?

A: You could write a script using Selenium to automatically load your Web application in a browser and inspect the DOM to ensure the Google Ad is appearing correctly. Selenium supports C#.

The Kihniö Local History Museum, owned and managed by the Kihniö local authority, was founded in 1945 in a parish granary near the church. The granary was built in 1921 and is protected by the National Board of Antiquities. The museum's collection of more than 2,500 objects was compiled mainly by Tarmo Markkula, a local shopkeeper.
In the same visit, you can look around Kihniö Church, built in 1917, which has the same guide and opening hours the museum does. There is no café at the museum, but food and drinks are served on weekdays at the Puumila Artisan House, only 200 metres away. Germund Paaer's life's work exhibition is on display in Puumila.
The museum is open during the summer season and at other times by request.
