Welcome to the Webinar Behaviourist. The one stop shop for your training and behaviour webinars. This is a new initiative on our part and what we will be doing in the coming months is giving you the opportunity to participate in training, behaviour and breed specific seminars in the comfort of your own home.
This has proven a popular media to deliver CPD seminars amongst our veterinary colleagues so we have taken up on their idea to offer the same in training and behaviour for anyone with an interest in furthering their knowledge. They will be open to anyone, Veterinary personnel wishing to expand their knowledge in the training and behaviour field, Trainers and Behaviourists looking to unique insights into breed specific behaviour, Dog Groomers, Dog Walkers, Pet Sitters, Dog Wardens and Handlers also to the Dog Owner that would just like to know more about why dogs do some of the things they do.
Traditional canine behaviour seminars usually require attendance and this can be problematic logistically at times having to arrange child care, pet care and fitting it in around an otherwise busy life schedule and if we are honest, costs play a big part too. We are about to take the stress out of doing that. With the Webinar Behaviourist we are in the process of inviting guest speakers to deliver your webinar directly into your home computer. Initially we are looking to cover breed specific seminars and I can hear you all saying, "Yet another seminar on Breed standards and confirmation!" I know, experience has shown us in the past that breed specific seminars are usually padded out with this to make the day longer.
What we have done for our guest speakers is come up with a seminar template that will address the issues we need to know as trainers, behaviourists, veterinary personnel and owners as these seminars will be open to all.
So, with that said, we are looking for experts in their chosen breed to deliver a series of one – one and half hour seminars to groups of trainers, behaviourists, veterinary personnel to meet their continued professional development and the general public with an interest in knowing more about your breed speciality at a relatively reasonable cost. Join our email list to be updated on upcoming events.
Your seminar should begin with the history of the breed and how it came about, the uses that humans have selected for over the years and how this may have changed from the origins of your breed to current day. You should also include specific behaviour traits and how these can affect living with your chosen breed.
What we are not looking for is a detailed description of Breed standards as this can be found in many other media and is often used in seminars to "Pack out the day," what we do want is for you to share your expertise and experience of your speciality breed in all things historical, developmental, health, training and behaviour, temperament and companion animal information that is presented in a logical, educational and well planned format preferably with multimedia presentations.
What breeds are we looking for experts to deliver seminars on? Well, all and any really. We want people enthusiastic and Knowledgeable about their breed, if you have written articles for trade magazines or breed magazines then we want you. If you have published or co-published a book on your chosen breed then we want you. If you breed dogs and have shown then we want you. If you are a veterinary professional with a passion for one or more breeds then we want you. Are your Chair person, secretary or committee member of a breed association, then we want you.


Acne is a disease process that comes in many forms and one patient may experience several forms at the same time. These multi-forms may often add to the patient's frustrations, causing both physical and emotional pain as well as possible permanent scarring if left untreated. Once the exact type of acne is determined, control of the process can easily be individualized.
Traditional therapy involves medications, both oral and topical. Some cases are so severe that a medication called Accutane (isotretinoin) is utilized in order to achieve control.
Alternative therapy includes nutritional supplementation as an alternative to Accutane as well as hormonal therapies, both standard and alternative.
Acne Surgery is a term used for the in office treatment of acne. Treatment consists of gentle exfoliation, extraction, opening/draining and/or injection of active acne lesions. This treatment is typically covered by most insurance companies.
Chemical Peels remove obstructions, improving function of the skin, which can greatly accelerate recovery. This is covered by some insurance companies although some insurance companies consider this treatment to be cosmetic in nature. Prior to having any procedure it is important that you contact your insurance company to verify whether your plan allows for coverage.
Hydrafacial is an affordable addition to any treatment; it provides a deep cleansing by exfoliation and hydration with immediate results. Hydrafacial is not covered by insurance.
Steaming opens congested pores, allowing for the extraction of stubborn blackheads. Adding steam can typically reduce the discomfort associated with traditional acne surgery. Steaming is not covered by insurance.
Masks calm many conditions reducing redness and irritation. Masks are not covered by insurance.
For special events, we can help you look your very best!
Call today to schedule an appointment to assess your condition and determine which treatment would best benefit you.
Both offices are open Monday thru Thursday for scheduling and Cosmetic patient appointments. Call the office for hours available.

Fire forces family from lakeside Millville house
Joseph P. Smith
@jpsmith_dj
MILLVILLE – A two-alarm fire early Monday morning badly damaged a house at 3 Bunting Lane near the eastern shore of Union Lake, according to fire Chief Michael Lippincott.
"The entire second floor is gutted," Lippincott said Monday afternoon. "There are two bedrooms on the second floor and that's where the bulk of the fire was. The first floor has serious water damage and smoke damage."
Lippincott said a determination of cause was expected either late Monday or by Tuesday morning. The city and New Jersey fire marshal are investigating.
There were no injuries, although Lippincott said the house is uninhabitable. Four adults living at the house got out before firefighters arrived, and the American Red Cross is helping them.
Lippincott said heavy smoke was present when firefighters arrived but flames were visible from the backyard. Firefighters dragged a hose inside to fight the fire, he said.
City firefighters were dispatched about 1:18 a.m. to the scene. The fire was declared under control by 2:17 a.m.
Fire rips through Buena Vista home
Vineland Company 2 and the Rosenhayn Fire Company were called in to assist 22 Millville firefighters. The last unit cleared the scene at 5 a.m.
Property records date the house to 1972 and list the owners as Edward and Barbara Kalendek.

UConn's Paige Bueckers undergoes successful knee surgery
Connecticut's Paige Bueckers stumbles injured as Connecticut's Nika Mühl and head coach Geno Auriemma looks on the second half of an NCAA college basketball game against Notre Dame, Sunday, Dec. 5, 2021, in Storrs, Conn. (AP Photo/Jessica Hill)
STORRS, Conn. (AP) — UConn said Tuesday that star Paige Bueckers has undergone successful surgery to repair the left leg fracture she suffered a week ago as well as a meniscus tear in that knee.
Bueckers underwent the surgery on Monday afternoon at UConn Health, the school announced.
The reigning national player of the year fractured her left tibia at the knee on Dec. 5 in a win over Notre Dame.
The injury, known as a tibial plateau fracture, was expected to take six to eight weeks to heal on its own.
But the school said Tuesday that she also suffered a lateral meniscus tear when she was hurt and that both injuries were repaired during the surgery.
Bueckers' recovery is expected to take two months from the date of surgery, the school said.
No. 7 UConn (6-2) takes on No. 6 Louisville on Sunday. The Huskies also will be without injured guards Niki Muhl and Azzi Fudd and forward Aubrey Griffin, leaving them with eight healthy players.

Q: Do we need Axiom of Regularity to prove that $a=\{x,\{x\}\}\text{ is an ordinal }\implies x=\emptyset$?
A set is an ordinal if it's transitive and well-ordered with respect to $\in$.

*

*I found that $\emptyset$ is very special and that $\emptyset\in \mathbb N$. Is it correct that $a\text{ is an ordinal }\implies\emptyset\in a$?

*Do we need Axiom of Regularity to prove that $a=\{x,\{x\}\}\text{ is an ordinal }\implies\text{ x}=\emptyset$?
Here is my attempt for 2nd question:

It's clear that $a$ is well-ordered in respect to $\in$. $a$ is transitive set $\iff x\subsetneq a$ and $\{x\}\subsetneq a\iff  x\subsetneq a$ and $x\in a\iff  x\subsetneq a$.
If $x=\emptyset\implies x\subsetneq a\implies a$ is transitive set. (satisfied)
If $x\neq\emptyset\implies x\in x$ or $\{x\}\in x$. To make this case impossible to happen, we must appeal to Axiom of Regularity.

A: The answer to both questions is no.  For the first question, notice that $\emptyset$ is an ordinal.
For the second question, note that if $a=\{x,\{x\}\}$ well-ordered by $\in$, it has a least element $y$ with respect to $\in$.  Then $z\not\in y$ for all $z\in a$.  But since $a$ is transitive, every element of $y$ is in $a$, so $y$ cannot have any elements and so $y=\emptyset$.  Since $\{x\}$ is not empty, we must have $y=x$ and thus $x=\emptyset$.
(This argument shows more generally that any nonempty ordinal must have $\emptyset$ as an element.  We need $a$ to be nonempty to get the existence of a least element $y$.)

relation between money and charity? relation between money and charity?
Questioner: So is there no place for the charity of money in these four major categories?
Dadashri: The charity of money is included in gnan daan. When money is used to print books that impart knowledge, it is gnan daan.
Questioner: Isn't everything being done through money anyway? We need money even to give donation of food.
Dadashri: Yes, money is needed even to donate medicine. Money is needed for everything, but a donation of money for gnan daan is the highest.
Here we are only printing books and we are certain that we will acquire financing for it. There are nimits for this and they will show up in due time. We do not have to call on people and ask for money, besides if we ask them for money they will feel bad and may even be taken aback if we tell them how much money is needed. In our path, the cardinal rule is that we hurt no one, and if it happens, then we have overstepped our boundaries. We cannot ask for anything from anybody. We can only take their money if they give willingly. We can only accept a person's money if he understands gnan daan. So those who have given thus far have all given with the understanding of gnan daan. They give of their own volition. We have never asked anyone for it.
Your money will shine if it is used to print these books of Gnan, but this will only happen if you have the punya. The books only get printed if the money is good money. If it not, the circumstances for printing them will never arise and the books will never be printed.

At the NAACP, Obama removes his mask of the great unifier
It is truly a sad day in America when the President of the United States fans the flames of racial hatred. The man elected to be president of all the people, in his speech at the NAACP basically said, though America is racist, sexist, and homophobic, you can make it in spite of those white SOBs attempts to stop you. Wonderful. How inspiring. The NAACP audience erupted in applause. Obama's condemnation was "red meat" to the liberal, protective of their victim status, organization.
"Make no mistake, the pain of discrimination is still felt in America (applause) by African-American women paid less for doing the same work as colleagues of a different color and a different gender; by La-tin-os made to feel unwelcome in their own country; by Muslim Americans viewed with suspicion simply because they kneel down to pray to their god; by gay dead brothers and sisters still taunted, still attacked, still denied their rights."
Interestingly, Obama's list of victims did not include Christians and straight white males. This is because it is open season on bashing them. According to liberals, everything wrong in the world is the fault of Christians and straight white males. Case in point, Pulitzer Prize winner Maureen Dowd's column in the New York Times in which she demonizes white men. Aren't Obama's statements in his speech eerily close to the teachings of Rev. Jeremiah Wright who said, "America is controlled by rich white people"?
Mr. President, as for the victims in your speech: one of those African American women you claim America has victimized used her money, power, and influence to help get you elected. White guys did not blow up the Twin Towers, murdering three thousand Americans. Muslims did. So, excuse me if I give them a second glance in an airport. Only illegal Latinos are unwelcome — just as with every other ethnic group. When an openly gay beauty pageant judge viciously trashes a contestant for humbly saying she believes marriage should be between a man and a woman and much of the media sides with him in ridiculing the woman, it is safe to say America is pretty tolerant of homosexuals. All of Obama's accusations against America are untrue, divisive, and evil.
Does racism exist in America? Of course it does — along with every other sin. But are we a racist country? Absolutely not! Why would our president want to reinforce such a divisive paradigm? And why did the NAACP so enjoy Obama's attack on white America?
If MLK were magically brought back to life, he would be heartbroken over what has become of this organization and the civil rights movement. He would ask, "Is Jesse still running to every photo op? And, tell me again how this Reverend Al guy became our spokesperson"?
Dr. King required his marchers to be sober, neat, clean, and even-tempered. He never preached hate. Quite the opposite, Dr. King dreamed of a day when all God's children, black and white, would join hands as brothers and sisters. Dr. King fought, suffered, and died because he wanted the Negro (and that is a word he proudly used) to have an equal opportunity to strive and achieve excellence. And yet, I heard that a civil rights group called a test racist because it used the word "sofa" rather than "couch" and black kids would not know they are the same. Give me a break!
Dr. King would beam with pride over former Secretary of Defense Condoleezza Rice and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, both hated by the NAACP. I can hear him saying, "Negroes, Secretary of Defense and U.S. Supreme Court Justice, praise God!"
Dr. King's once great organization has become a liberal partner with the Democratic Party in their exploitation of blacks. Keep telling them they are victims, America is against them and they need Democrats to defend and protect them. This will ensure that the NAACP will remain relevant and Democrats will continue getting 95% of the black vote. This is why the NAACP went wild with applause over Obama's speech trashing America.
If MLK were alive today, I believe he would be a proud member, not of the NAACP, but of the organization of which I am president, the National Association for the Advancement of Conservative People of Color.
The NAACPC's philosophy and goals are far more in keeping with Dr. King's dream. Personal responsibility. Judging people by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. America is the greatest land of opportunity on the planet for all people. Sadly, our president believes she is an evil place where successful white males victimize everyone.
Though far from perfect, I remember to put the seat down most of the time, my amazing wife still thinks I am the best thing since sliced bread. Is it unreasonable to expect the leader of the free world to have, at least, a similar affection and opinion of his country? Dr. King would be appalled.

The national game is considered an essential part of the nation's culture. The Pakistani nation loves sports; sports are deemed to be an intrinsic part of the culture.

When Hockey Became the National Game of Pakistan?
British authorities formed the Pakistan Hockey Federation(PHF) at Pakistan formation on 14th August 1947. Ghazanfar Ali Khan was the first president of the Pakistan Hockey Federation, and Baseer Ali was appointed as a secretariat. Pakistan played national and international championships and made a top place among the world hockey teams.
The Victory of Pakistan Hockey Team in Matches
In the Olympic games, Pakistan national hockey team has won 3 gold medals and the Pakistan hockey team world cup 4 times and made a world record. In addition, Pakistan has won a champion trophy and won awards in the Olympics and commonwealth.
Hockey as a Physical Sport
In the past, Hockey was known as a ball and stick game. However, Hockey is known as a physical sport that is played by two teams. Each team has to do goals within a limited time duration. The team which plans more than the other one is considered as a winning team. If both the teams failed to score a goal, then the match got a tie.
Hockey is a stick made with wood. At one side of the Hockey, there is a curve. The purpose of the curve is to hit the ball. The hockey game is exciting. However, the game needs good practice and stamina to play it well.
The Resemblance With Other Games
The hockey game resembles an Irish sport that was played in 2000 BC. There is a lot of evidence of playing a game with the ball and stick by Persians, Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks—some evidence of playing this game at Canterbury and Gloucester cathedrals in medieval Europe is also found. In 1861 the first hockey club was formed in South-East London.
Field hockey is a popular game among men and women both in European countries and Asian countries and. It can be played on natural grass or gravel. The length of the Hockey is about 48, i.e., 4 feet. It is played with a ball; the hardball is 73 mm(2.9) in diameter.
Men's field hockey has been played in Olympic Games in the summers since 1908. On the other hand, women's hockey has been played in the Olympics since 1980. Today, field hockey sticks are composed of wood, glass fiber, or carbon fiber.
Hockey looks like a J shape; it has a curve at the one end and a flat surface on the other side. Field hockey is an outdoor game. To differentiate from ice hockey, it is called field hockey.
In the early civilization, the footprints of Hockey can be traced. The Greeks, Persians, Arabs and Romans, Aztec Indians of South America, France used to play this game in different versions. Hockey has a resemblance with games of early times like hurling, shinty hoquet, etc. These all games were stick games that can be identified.
Hockey was firmly established in the 19th century basically in schools of England. The first men's hockey club started at Blackheath in London. Teddington was another London club of Hockey that made various variations in the game. They introduced the rule of hands banning and lifting Hockey above the shoulder. The sphere ball was replaced with the rubber cubic ball.
The British army has the credit to bring this game to the subcontinent of India. International competition for this game began in 1895. During the Victorian era, Hockey became popular among females. Women started playing at the domestic level in 1895. Although in the 1970s, they began to play at the international level. In 1974 the first women's world cup was held. In 1980 women players played in Olympic events. In 1927 International Federation of Women's Hockey was formed. In 1901 hockey was introduced in the US. It became trendy and being played by women as an outdoor game. It became popular in different clubs, schools, and colleges.
Game Rules of Field Hockey
The hockey game is played between two teams with 11 players. The shape of the hockey ground is rectangular according to the rules. The length of the field should be 100 yards, about 91.4 meters. And the width of the area should be 60 yards, about 55 meters. The central line is marked in the center of the ground with two 25 yard lines. One goal counts one point for each team. A goal is considered if the ball goes into the semicircle of the goal area. The goal is considered if the ball touches the stick of the player. This ball resembled a cricket ball that was cork-centered, and the ball had leather covering. Plastic balls were also used at that time. The ball is approximately 9 inches in circumference. The length of the hockey stick is usually 36-38 inches, about 23 cm. Weight of the balls is about 12-28 ounces, approximately 340-790 gm.
The distribution of players in the ground is as follows, five players stay in the forward placement of the game, three players remain at halfback, two players stay as a fullback, and one goalkeeper stays in the shooting circle. The game has two halves. Each half consists of 35 minutes. There is an intermission of 5-10 minutes between the halves.
In case of any injury, a time-out is considered. The goalkeeper wears pads that are thick and lightweight. He is the only player who can kick and stop the ball with his foot or body. However, other players cannot stop the ball with the foot or body; they can only stop with the stick.
After the first half-time game begins by placing the ball at the center of the ground, the penalty is charged if the player faces any bullying from any player, face-off, or the ball is trapped in the clothes of the hitter. If the ball goes off the field, various provisions can be used.
Fouls of Hockey Game
Various fouls are considered in a hockey game.
One of them is the offside rule, in which players can not stay up the field head and can not become heads of fewer than two players of the opposite team. This rule was adopted after the Olympics in 1996.
Raising the Hockey above the shoulder is considered foul.
The player can not stop the ball with their hands, body, and foot.
Undercutting the ball is illegal. Hooking the opponent's Hockey is considered a foul.
An obstruction rule is keenly observed in the game. The hockey player is not allowed to obstruct the opposite team player with his stick or body parts.
These fouls are penalized by providing a chance of free hit to the opposite team at the point of infraction. One umpire also remains as a part of the game for each half of the game.

Athinhkaya Sawyun (birman ,  ; vers 1300–1327) est le fondateur du Royaume de Sagaing, situé dans l'actuelle Région de Sagaing, en Birmanie (République de l'Union du Myanmar). Fils aîné du roi Thihathu (du Royaume de Pinya, Sawyun fonda à 15 ans un royaume rival de celui de son père, qui lui avait préféré en 1315 comme prince héritier son fils adoptif Uzana I, fils du défunt roi de Pagan Kyawswa. Sawyun resta formellement loyal à son père et continua à lui prêter allégeance, mais il régna de facto en roi. Thihathu, déjà âgé, ne put pas remédier à cette situation.

Sawyun régna jusqu'à sa mort, en , à 27 ans, deux ans après son père. Après leur mort à tous deux, les royaumes de Sagaing et Pinya furent rivaux pendant les quarante années suivantes pour le contrôle de la Haute-Birmanie. Sawyun avait quatre enfants, une fille, Soe Min Kodawgyi, et trois garçons Kyaswa, Nawrahta Minye et Tarabya II, qui furent tous rois de Sagaing. Sa fille fut la mère de Thadominbya, fondateur du Royaume d'Ava.

Thihathu, père de Sawyun, était de père shan et de mère birmane, et sa mère Yadanabon était une fille du chef du village shan de Linyin vers l'année 1300. Sawyun était donc aux trois-quarts Shan et un quart Birman.

Règne
Sawyun est décrit dans les chroniques birmanes comme puissant, aimable et populaire. Il modifia l'organisation militaire birmane en créant en 1318 un type de régiment appelé « Sagaing Taungthan », qui subsista jusqu'à la fin de la monarchie birmane en 1885, et neuf escadrons de cavalerie.

Sawyun mourut à Sagaing en  et son demi-frère maternel Tarabya I lui succéda sur le trône.

The Feb. 22 Towers features a cover story with Matt Chandler. Garrett Wishall sat down with Chandler in November for the interview. The Southern Seminary community extends its prayers to Chandler, his family and The Village Church as they pray for his recovery from cancer. Click here for video updates from Chandler on his current health situation.
Chandler also answered two questions in video shorts: (1) What is the mission of the church? (2) What advice do you have for a young man interested in church planting?
From the moment of Matt Chandler's conversion at age 17 he didn't have much doubt that he would do vocational ministry. The only question became: would it be in the local church?
Chandler serves as lead pastor of The Village Church, formerly Highland Village First Baptist Church, which has campuses in Highland Village, Denton and Dallas, Texas. Chandler has filled that post for seven years, beginning in December 2002, but prior to that time local church ministry was not a certainty for him.
Chandler said he attended church growing up, but it was not until three days before his 18th birthday that he professed faith in Christ and began to follow Him. Upon his conversion, Chandler said godly men around him began to pour into him, recognizing in him a giftedness for spiritual leadership.
As he finished high school, Chandler did whatever was asked of him in his church - First Baptist of Texas City, Texas - from teaching fourth grade Sunday School to helping with recreation at Vacation Bible School.
"If somebody wanted me to talk or teach I did that," he said. "If somebody wanted me to set up stuff, I would come and set up stuff. For me, my sanctification was pouring myself into the life of the church there in Texas City."
Chandler attended Hardin-Simmons University, a small Baptist school in Abilene, Texas. While there he taught a college Sunday School class and led an "ecumenical Bible study that grew very large."
Chandler graduated with a bachelor of arts in biblical studies from Hardin-Simmons in 1999. Though he started seminary twice, on both occasions he chose not to finish.
"I am not anti-seminary, but for me it felt like I was laying a foundation in a house I was already living in," he said. "I had the Greek; I had the Hebrew; I had the tools I needed (from my undergraduate studies)."
During and immediately after his time at Hardin-Simmons, Chandler said he grew significantly disenchanted with the church.
"My experience in church was the Gospel had become extremely assumed and not explicit at all," he said. "I was sharing the Gospel with friends and bringing them to church and they were hearing 'don't do this or do that.' They were hearing all sorts of things that maybe even are morally correct, but they weren't hearing the Gospel."
Through such experiences Chandler concluded that "ministry worked better outside the church." But then the Lord brought David McQueen into his life.
"I had grown bitter and hard ... and then David McQueen at Beltway Park Baptist Church (in Abilene, Texas) came and got me and said, 'Hey come on, come here and help,'" Chandler said. "He brought me on staff and I sat in the elder room and the executive staff room. I went on all the retreats. He helped show me that you can do church differently."
While at Beltway from 1996-1999, Chandler continued to teach the ecumenical Bible study, and in 1999 he decided to move to Dallas and start a non-profit itinerant speaking ministry.
Then came the call from Highland Village First Baptist Church (HVFBC): they wanted Chandler as their senior pastor. Initially, he did not share their desire.
"I had some real doubts about HVFBC's philosophy and theology and whether it was compatible with my own," Chandler said. "That, and I had a thing for the city and didn't really want to live out my life in the suburbs."
Because of his lack of interest, Chandler chose to be significantly forthright during the interview process about his theological beliefs and philosophy of ministry, believing that this would scare off the church.
But Highland Village continued to pursue him. Eventually, Chandler accepted the position.
"It came down to not being able to lose the job," Chandler said. "I was honest and thought I killed the opportunity a couple of times, but we just kept talking. I thought there was some providence involved in that."
In 2003, Highland Village First Baptist Church became The Village. Today, the church has three campuses and has planted two churches: Providence Church in Little Elm, Texas, in April 2005 and City View Church in Keller, Texas, on Easter Sunday 2006.
Chandler said that though his forthrightness in the initial interviewing process with Highland Village has resulted in "unbelievable dividends," he does not necessarily recommend this approach to young, would-be, first-time pastors. He said that if the position in question was in a small church that has had the same people in it for decades, he would recommend stepping in, preaching the Bible faithfully, getting experience in leadership and answering questions about particular theological convictions as people have them.
"If they are asking questions, then you be honest," he said. "I don't know if you need to provide a list of where you land on everything from eschatology to ecclesiology. But if they say, 'What do you believe about predestination?,' then you answer the question biblically. If they say, 'What do you believe about the role of women?,' then you answer that question biblically."
For a position with more long-term potential, Chandler said he knows of men who have stepped in and slowly and patiently taught and that has worked well. Chandler said a key thing to keep in mind is the power and connotations that certain labels carry.
"I don't care if anyone at The Village can give you the five points of Calvinism," he said. "If you pulled some people out of The Village and said 'Are you a Calvinist?' they might even say, 'No, absolutely not.' But if you said, 'Do you believe man is born intrinsically sinful?' they would say, 'Oh, absolutely, we are born in iniquity,' and they would unpack it (the doctrine of original sin).
"If you asked, 'Is everybody going to get saved?' they would say, 'No. They're not.' If you asked, 'Can you say no to God?' They would say, 'Well, God doesn't force you, but it is just beautiful if He reveals Himself to you.' So, I don't want to go to war over labels. What I want is biblical theology in the hearts of our people."
So what things did Chandler openly share when he interviewed at Highland Village?
"I was honest particularly about my complementation view of the role of women," he said. "I was very honest about being a continualist and not a cessasionist. I was very honest about being reformed in my soteriology. And then I was very honest in my 'Christian hedonism' foundation, my John Piper foundation, in regard to theology.
"Philosophically, they were a Willow (Creek) model. They would even say things like 'Worship is the enemy of evangelism.' So, they had been taught that the more affection we show toward the Lord in worship, the more that deterred people wanting to know the Lord. So, I pointed out my frustration with their system of government and their worship style. Now, I didn't (share my thoughts) angrily or aggressively. I tried to teach as I did it."
Chandler said the mission of the church is clear: the reconciliation of all things to God through Christ.
we declare to people that their sins have been forgiven in Christ if they will repent and put their trust in Him. So this is the mission of the church.
"We live out the mission of the church in whatever domain God puts us in as well as being the community of faith, the covenant community of faith, in the local church context. So, if we are in business, we are missionaries in business; if we are in economics, we are a missionary in the domain of economics, agriculture, education, all of these domains that God has given us."
Regarding ecclesiology, Chandler said he sees three viable models for local church government.
"One, is congregationalism. Two, is elder-government. Three, is what you see commonly and that is a strong staff that pretty much runs the church," he said. "What I have found is where you have all three pieces you tend to have a really healthy church: where you have an elder body, an elder-governing body, like we see in the Scriptures, that sets philosophy, theology and direction; where you have a staff team that handles the outworkings of that philosophy and theology, and where you continue to come to the body and inform, get pushback and create feedback loops. When you have those three heads, you tend to have a very healthy place."
Chandler described The Village as mostly elder-ruled with some elements of congregational rule. The church's constitution and bylaws, which were rewritten in April 2004, calls for a congregational vote on buildings, the hiring of the senior pastor and whether or not to go into debt. Chandler said there is some flexibility, however, to extend congregational-rule beyond what the constitution stipulates.
"We just added a bunch of elders," he said. "Our constitution does not dictate that we vote on those elders, but I rolled the vote out. Some of those people in our congregation are (likely) going to be brought under church discipline in the next couple years. They need to have had a say in who their elders are."
How about the multi-site approach to church? Chandler said there is "not enough biblical ammunition to kill the multi-site approach or sing its praises too loudly."
"It (the Bible) doesn't teach anything on multi-site," he said. "I think there are some implications in the Scriptures that we need to look at, but the truth is technology always creates - from the printing press forward - these types of arguments, where people want to draw lines.
"I think it (multi-site) is something that you need to be very careful with. It is something that you need to move very slowly on. And it is something that you need to put up a lot of yield signs on. But nobody can take the Scriptures and say you can't do multi-site. Where they do, they break their own hermeneutical rules and if you replace multi-site with something else, then they would change their opinion of how they are using the Scriptures.
"So, what I say is it needs to be slow, careful, purposeful and you need to make sure that in the end you are not building something that is around a personality."
Chandler said everything about pastoral ministry is rewarding despite the difficulties it includes.
"The lost being saved (is rewarding). The nominal coming to a saving faith. The de-churched falling in love with Jesus," he said. "Watching sanctification occur in the life of people. That moment where a guy has been in church for 15 years, but all of the sudden the light comes on. I mean that is unbelievable.
"That the Lord would let me do this. That He would trust me with this. That He would sustain me in this. It is all rewarding to me, even the hard days. Some days the hard days are more rewarding. But I love it. He wired me for this.
"I am going to keep my face like flint toward the Lord and do what He has called me to do, planting churches and preaching the Gospel to the lost and the saved."

Česká společnost rukopisná (zkráceně ČSR) je občanské sdružení (podle právní úpravy platné od roku 2014 spolek), jehož posláním je podle stanov "vědecké bádání a popularizace poznatků o staročeských rukopisech, především však řešení sporných otázek kolem Rukopisů Královédvorského a Zelenohorského a památek s nimi spojovaných". Česká společnost rukopisná založená v roce 1993 navazuje na činnost Československé společnosti rukopisné, která existovala od roku 1932 až do dobrovolného rozchodu roku 1952.

Historie
Myšlenku založení společnosti zaměřené na obranu Rukopisů královédvorského a zelenohorského (RKZ) vyslovil v souvislosti s tzv. Kuhovou aférou už Pavel Josef Šafařík v roce 1859. Ke vzniku podobné společnosti ale nedošlo ani za velkých rukopisných bojů v letech 1886–1899, ani v souvislosti s "Prohlášením o vyřešení otázky rukopisné" publikovaným 31. prosince 1911 v Národních listech. Na jaře roku 1918 měla být vytvořena tzv. rukopisná komise, která se měla obranou RKZ zabývat, její členové ale činnost dobrovolně pozastavili, aby nemohla být zneužita rakouskými úřady proti Tomáši Garrigue Masarykovi a jednáním o československé samostatnosti.

K významným obráncům Rukopisů v té době patřil např. dvojnásobný rektor University Karlovy, filosof a fysiolog, profesor František Mareš, nebo Viktorin Vojtěch, profesor fotografie a fotochemie na Universitě Karlově. V letech 1926–1927 byl založen Rukopisný fond vědecký, který se pak stal součástí Československé společnosti rukopisné, ustavené v Praze v roce 1932.

Cílem nově založeného občanského sdružení se stalo "šíření a popularizování vědeckého bádání o starodávných rukopisech kulturních vůbec, zvláště pak o rukopisech slovanských, zejména českých". Prvním předsedou ČSR byl na ustavující valné hromadě zvolen JUDr. Václav Perek. Druhým předsedou se pak stal profesor Viktorin Vojtěch.

Kromě přednáškové činnosti a vybudování knihovny společnost vydávala periodikum "Zprávy Československé společnosti rukopisné". V roce 1939 byla založena odbočka ČSR v Brně - hlavním iniciátorem byl moravský archeolog František Adámek, předsedou odbočky se stal profesor Karel Absolon.

Události po roce 1938 pochopitelně problematiku RKZ odsunuly stranou a činnost společnosti byla fakticky utlumena. K obnovení aktivity došlo v roce 1945 - byly obnoveny pravidelné schůzky a přednášková činnost, vydávání Zpráv se ale obnovit nepodařilo. A v roce 1948 opět nastal pro rukopisnou obranu nepříznivý čas; po přijetí Zákona o dobrovolných organisacích a shromážděních v roce 1951 už společnost nemohla existovat jako samostatná organizace, a mimořádná valná hromada se v květnu 1952 rozhodla pro dobrovolný zánik.

Bývalí členové společnosti i další zájemci o RKZ pak udržovali alespoň písemný, někteří i osobní styk, ale publikační možnosti byly v podstatě nulové. Až v roce 1991 vznikl nejprve Klub přátel Rukopisů, díky kterému se navázaly nové kontakty mezi zájemci o problematiku Rukopisů, a z iniciativy členů pak v březnu 1993 došlo k zorganizování obnovující valné hromady České společnosti rukopisné.

Činnost
Současná činnost České společnosti rukopisné se zabývá především popularizací poznatků o Rukopisech a dalších sporných památkách, ale zaměřuje se i na vlastní badatelskou činnost. Pořádá pravidelné pracovní schůzky, vydává Zprávy České společnosti rukopisné, podílí se na organizování přednášek o související problematice. Na internetových stránkách ČSR je možné najít nejen samotné texty Rukopisů (snímky originálů i různé verze přepisů textů), ale i řadu článků a přehledů dokumentů k problematice Rukopisů a sporů kolem nich.

V roce 2017 vydala společnost ke 200. výročí nálezu Rukopisu královédvorského i Rukopisu zelenohorského sborník "RKZ dodnes nepoznané", který pojednává o Rukopisech z chemického, jazykovědného a historického hlediska, a všímá si také jejich významu v českém umění. Aktuální informace z činnosti ČSR najdeme i na její stránce na Facebooku.

Spor o Rukopisy


Martinborough has a few pioneers of its own – and Larry McKenna is one of them. His Escarpment wines have been trailblazers for Pinot in this part of the world; he's a slightly gruff, modest Ozzie, who seems devoid of ego. There's not much 'showbiz' to be seen in the 'tasting room' either, a wooden hut at the edge of the vines: in this place, the wines do the talking.
Accompanied by Larry's protegee, winemaker Huw Kinch, we take a tasting that kicks off with a relatively new rosé named Nina, after Larry's daughter. Made from Pinot, of course, it's distinctly perfumed, with abundant strawberries and a twist of white pepper. A range of whites follow, including a delicious Chardonnay that also uses Burgundy as its reference point, with peaches and nectarines, creamy texture and delicious textured mouthfeel, from careful work on the lees. And then the real stars of the show, starting with the 2015 Escarpment Pinot Noir, a blend of Larry's sites, hand-harvested and fermented with indigenous yeasts, to create a ripe wine, bursting with smooth red cherry and plum and just a little green pepper. The flagship is Te Rehua, from a single vineyard, close to the town. The 2016 has many years ahead of it, but already exhibits tempting savoury character, with succulent black and red fruit character and beguiling floral notes, fine-grain tannin structure and layers of complexity.
Sitting on the edge of the escarpment that inspired the name, the winery itself seems to be a hotbed for experimentation, the latest being amphora winemaking. I take a sample of a Pinot being made with no additions of any kind, which tastes seductively pure. It's like a spiritual experience.

Networkfleet announces low-cost GPS vehicle tracking system
Networkfleet Inc. announced the soon to be available Networkfleet 4200, a low-cost GPS vehicle tracking system for commercial and government fleets. The new system is designed for fleets that need reliable location tracking, but do not require the patented remote engine diagnostics offered by the Networkfleet 3500 wireless fleet management system. Both products use the same full-featured easy-to-use Web-based application to provide access to vehicle information, according to the company.
The Networkfleet 4200 is designed to give fleets a vehicle tracking system that includes a rugged automotive-grade device backed by the company's full service and support. Designed by Networkfleet's telematics engineering group, the 4200 is made to be tamper-evident and hermetically sealed, allowing it to withstand harsh environments. The company says the 4200 works on all vehicles and is built to pass SAE J1455 certification, an industry standard for electronic equipment design in heavy-duty vehicles.
"At Networkfleet, we want to provide our customers with options that will meet their needs," says Keith Schneider, president of San Diego-based Networkfleet. "We designed the 4200 for those who want a lower-cost GPS solution, but prefer to purchase it from a leading provider that backs up their products with service, support and stability for the long term. With the addition of the 4200 product, government and commercial fleets of any size can find a Networkfleet solution that works best for their operations."
The Networkfleet 4200 will be available for purchase immediately following the completion of external network certification processes, which are estimated to be finalized in the middle of the third quarter of 2009.

Sudden unexplained hair loss or Alien DNA testing?
I've always had thick hair. Thick in number, and thick in texture. Big hair comes easy to me. The 80's were great. The smooth, controlled styles of the new millennium not-so-much but I bought a flat iron and a new lease on life.
And then I was abducted by aliens who started doing experiments on me.
I talked to a lady who does my hair. She said it could be stress, vitamin deficiency, lack of vitamin absorption, or diet. She said she wasn't really certain.
She didn't mention aliens cause she didn't want to scare me. But everyone knows that aliens emit harmful radiation, which not only bring on early menopause, but also make your hair fall out and I told her so.
In the last few months I have noticed my hair has a different texture. Several strands, all of the ones not shocked white in child birth, are noticeably thinner and finer. But most frightening are the dime size patches that are suddenly missing.
As if pulled out by hair dissolving- brain sucking aliens!
Aliens from Mar's wear green and pack attitude!
Our cat is shedding his winter fur. Maybe you are too?
Seriously though... Have you any thyroid issues? These can do strange things to your hair. I have first hand experience. EEK.
I have seen a few men that have lost patches of hair put shoe polish on those areas.
Black for black hair, brown for brown hair.... blonde ( I haven't seen ).
Hope someone can give you the reason why you are loosing your hair.
I can't help you at all with this post - ha! I've always had fine, thin hair that balds at not taking vitamins for one day.
I think hormone imbalance can cause this.
sadly, some women loose their hair, I'm sorry I didn't make this rule but it happens.


Specially made this for Cooper Barkday's treat. Get the idea from "The Ultimate Dog Treat Cookbook" but never really follow the recipe closely. These treats have tasty chunks of chicken and sweet potato and appeal to even the fussiest eaters. However my girls can't take chicken so this will only be given the boys and especially to Cooper who simply love to eat!
I shape the treats into 3 types of pattern.
In muffin cups, sprinkle top with some cheese & parsley.
Original as instructed by the recipe.
Top with cheddar cheese & herbs.
Additional: shredded cheese & parsley for topping.
2. Mix all ingredients together well into a sticky dough.
3. Drop by rounded teaspoon onto the lined baking tray.
4. Bake 15-20 mins or until golden brown.
5. Remove from oven, let it cool and store in airtight container in the fridge.

Master your camera: Shooting portraiture on the Canon EOS 5D Mark III
Portrait photography is an incredibly powerful photographic medium. As humans, we instinctively connect with portraiture on an psychological level, which means a single still image has the power to evoke a wealth of different feelings and emotions – more so than any other medium, it could be argued. What's more, with so much variation in size, shape, and colour between subjects, no two portrait photographs will ever look the same, and I believe that's what makes it such an exciting and rewarding subject to document. However, in order to take stunning portraits, you're going to need to make sure that you have the right camera and lenses for the job.
The Canon EOS 5D Mark III is a superb choice for portrait photography, for a number of reasons. Firstly, at the heart of the camera it houses a 22.3 megapixel, full-frame sensor that captures images with an incredible amount of detail and vibrant colours. Its much larger chip also means that the camera is ultimately able to handle digital noise much better than its smaller APS-C sized siblings.
This particularly pays dividends when shooting in tricky low-light situations, such as a church weddings, as it means you can comfortably boost the ISO setting to a higher sensitivity without as much fear of grain and coloured speckling plaguing your shots.
Its casing is made from a hardwearing magnesium-alloy body, which allows it to stand up to the wear and tear of busy photography work, while a series of internal weather seals means that its delicate innards are well protected from the likes of rain and dust.
Over the next couple of pages, we'll be exploring how to set up the EOS 5D Mark III correctly for portraiture and reveal the best lenses you can pair it with in order to capture some stunning people pictures.
Composition and focusing
The Canon EOS 5D Mark III offers an impressive 61-point AF system; 41 of those points are the more accurate cross-type points, with five dual cross-type) that cover over 50% of the frame. The main advantage of this is that not only does the 5D Mark III offer incredibly accurate autofocusing, but thanks to the camera's plentiful spread of AF points across the viewfinder, it's really easy to achieve focus on your subject, no matter where they're situated within the frame.
Pressing the camera's AF Point Selection button, located to the top right of the thumb rest, you're granted access to the 5D Mark III's array of AF grouping modes. When shooting full-length portraits, I usually opt for the 'Expand AF Area: Surround' option, which makes the selected AF point, and the surrounding eight AF points active. I've found that this gives the camera a much better chance of being able to quickly and accurately latch on to my subject, reducing the chances of it hunting.
Alternatively, if I were to shoot a close-up head shot with a shallow depth-of-field (at f/1.4 for example),
I tend to switch over to the 'Spot AF' mode, as this reduces the active AF point to just half of its regular size. The idea here is that by using such a small surface area, it's much easier to set the focus on the model's eyes, and avoiding accidentally focusing on the tips of the eyelashes, which can be enough to ruin the shot entirely.
For head and shoulder or full-length portraits, try using the Expand AF Area: Surround option to ensure the selected AF point and surrounding AF points are active
Exposure and compensation
I tend to favour Aperture Priority mode over any other shooting mode on the 5D Mark III. The reason for this is that, of the exposure triangle (aperture, shutter speed and ISO), the aperture value is arguably the most important setting for portraits. Most of the time, I like to shoot using a wide aperture (around f/2 if the lens allows it) as I like to throw the background and foreground of the image out to a pleasing blur, which really helps to draw the focus on to the subject. Aperture Priority mode allows me to set the aperture, while the camera determines a suitable shutter speed, which in turn frees me up to focus on what is most important – focusing, composing and bagging the shot. While looking through the viewfinder, I occasionally flit my eye across to the shutter speed value to ensure that it hasn't dropped too low.
If the shutter speed does start to slow too much, I simply increase the ISO level to compensate. Although the 5D Mark III is superb at controlling levels of digital noise, even at higher ISOs, I always do my best to keep the ISO as low as possible in order to maximise image quality.
Once I've taken a few shots, I review the images on the back of the screen by pressing the Playback button, and then use the histogram (activated by pressing the Info button a few times) to ensure that the image hasn't been overexposed and lost any detail in the highlights.
Personally I have a bit of a passion for prime lenses, and I currently find myself switching between my Sigma 35mm f/1.4 and Canon 85mm f/1.8 for the bulk of my portrait photography – the 35mm for full-length shots, and the 85mm for head shots. I love prime lenses for a number of reasons; firstly, they offer a much wider maximum aperture than most zoom lenses. With maximum f/stops of around f/1.4 and f/1.8 (and even wider on some high-end lenses), not only does this let in a ton of light, allowing you to keep your ISO as low as possible for better image quality, but it also allows you to create beautiful shallow depth-of-field effects, which just work superbly with portraits. Generally speaking, prime lenses tend to be sharper than zooms, too, because their innards have been specifically fine-tuned to that focal range, rather than having to adapt to multiple focal lengths like a zoom lens.
The downside, of course, is that you're fixed at a certain focal length, which can sometimes become limiting – particularly when shooting events such as weddings where you need to act fast in order to catch the shot. In situations such as this, I tend to play it safe and opt for my Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 lens. Although the maximum aperture of this lens isn't quite as wide as that of my primes, it's still much wider than most standard zoom lenses, which are only able to open up to around f/4 or f/5.6.
Investing in a fast prime will allow you to defocus the background to keep the main emphasis on your subject
Out in the field
I find that the Canon EOS 5D Mark III really comes into its own when placed in a fast-paced, high-pressure situation, such as a wedding. Weddings can be notoriously tricky affairs to shoot as not only are you required to think and act fast in order to capture the day as it unfolds, but you're often faced with tricky lighting situations where you simply have to deal with what is in front of you or run the risk of missing the shot entirely. This is very often the case at church weddings, where natural light is usually at a minimum, so boosting the camera's ISO to a high sensitivity is often essential to getting the shot. Luckily, the 5D Mark III's full frame sensor deals with digital noise incredibly well, allowing you to comfortably shoot at higher ISOs.
The camera's DIGIC 5+ processor also helps to aid a continuous burst shooting mode of 6fps, meaning that you can rattle off multiple shots in quick succession in order to better your chances of bagging a great shot.
Not only does the 5D Mark III perform to a pro standard, it also looks the part, too. I've often had comments such as 'Wow! That looks like a serious piece of kit!'. It sounds strange, but I do believe this is actually an important quality of the camera, as it helps to reinforce your professional demeanor, and I've found that this in turn makes the client feel more comfortable receiving your guidance and instructions.
If I were to pick one downside to the Canon EOS 5D Mark III, it would have to be its weight. It's fair to say it's not the lightest camera in the world, especially when kitted with a heavy zoom lens, so ensuring that I have a comfortable harness system to support this load when it's not in use is paramount. Personally, I'm a fan of Black Rapid's Double DR-1 (£114) harness system; this clever and comfortable body support allows me to comfortably carry two DSLRs at my side, while also granting quick access to them without having to detach or unclasp the cameras from the security of the harness. The weight of the cameras is spread evenly across the shoulder and back to reduce strain, and the harness can also be configured into a single strap, too, for days where you only want to use a single body.
Setting up your Canon EOS 5D Mark III for stunning portrait images
Attach a portrait lens
First off it's important to think about the kind of portrait you're trying to achieve and then choose a suitable lens for the job. For a nice blurred background you'll want to use a lens that has a fast maximum aperture, such as a prime lens or a fast zoom. It's also a good idea to use a mid to long telephoto lens as using a wideangle will distort your subject's features for displeasing results.
Switch to aperture priority
Start off by turning the mode dial to Aperture Priority (Av) – this will allow you to set the aperture value, while the camera takes care of the shutter speed. Dial in a wide aperture – preferably f/2 or wider if you're using a prime lens – as this will allow you to achieve a pleasing shallow depth-of-field. Remember that a wide aperture requires you to focus very carefully on the eyes.
Set the AF point
Press the AF Point Selection button, top left of the rear thumb rest. If you're shooting a standard portrait, press the M-Fn button (just above the shutter button) to cycle through the AF grouping modes until you get to 'Expand AF Area: Surround' – this'll give you a larger active AF area to help in achieving sharp focus on your subject. If you're shooting a close-up headshot, choose Spot AF instead.
Activate Direct AF point control
Press the Menu button, then cycle through until you reach the second menu set within the Custom Functions (orange menus). Choose the Custom Controls option and then select the joystick – set it to AF Point Direct Selection and hit the Set button to confirm. Press the Menu button a few times to back out. Now you can control the location of the active AF point via the joystick.
Compose, focus and shoot
While looking through the viewfinder, compose the shot, then using the joystick, move the active AF point so it is hovering over the subject's face (or eye if you're shooting a close-up head shot). Half depress the shutter button to lock focus, then fully depress it to take the shot. Press the Playback button to review the image on screen and check it's correctly exposed.
