The Best Anime Streaming Services in 2020
Ria Fritz
Ria is an avid anime and sci-fi fan who loves gushing about her latest favorite shows.
Clockwide from top left: No Game No Life (Madhouse), Kimetsu no Yaiba (Ufotable), My Hero Academia (BONES), Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works (Ufotable)
As of May 2020, there are at least 7 online streaming services that offer anywhere from a few dozen to hundreds of anime series. While a handful of these have at least some services completely free and supported by ads, you'll need to pay a monthly subscription fee to access the best content.
Naturally, it's not worth paying for every single service. There tends to be heavy overlap between streaming platforms, especially since so many of them license content from Funimation or Crunchyroll. The best options for you will partly depend on your budget, what you want to watch, and how old the shows are.
Popular series can be found scattered across most of these platforms, while older, niche series are often only available on Funimation, Crunchyroll or Hi-Dive. Here's the rundown on what you can expect from each service.
Anime Selection Rating: 3 Stars (out of 5)
Netflix is the go-to site for streaming, and its anime selection is fine but not amazing. Their selection includes classics like Cowboy Bebop and Neon Genesis Evangelion plus a wide range of newer anime.
Older shows tend to be removed from Netflix after about a year, unless they are exceptionally popular or get a sequel. The exception to this is their exclusive shows, including Little Witch Academia, Castlevania, and the Violet Evergarden TV series.
Netflix tends to have a different selection of anime in each country. Sometimes, an anime will be available on Netflix in Japan but not in North America or the EU. If you see something you want to watch, it's best to watch it soon before it disappears.
Anime Selection Rating: 3 Stars
Like Netflix, Hulu does not specialize in anime, so older and less popular titles tend to be taken off the site eventually. Hulu currently has lots of recent isekai anime, classic hits like Bleach, and multiple Gundam series for North American subscribers. The selection of shows and subtitle options can vary between countries, but there are several dozen anime available in the U.S.
Hulu is a little less expensive than Netflix thanks to its ads, so it's worth getting even if you don't plan on watching that much. However, its selection also tends to have heavy overlap with Netflix, plus a handful of Funimation titles. With the exception of a few older series, there's rarely something on Hulu that isn't also on Netflix or Funimation.
Crunchyroll actually started out as an illegal streaming site, but eventually signed agreements with U.S. licensing companies and is now perfectly legal. Some of its library is available for free and is ad-supported, but the newest and best shows often require a subscription.
Crunchyroll is available in most countries, but the selection of titles can vary. In the U.S. they have hundreds of anime, including many of the most recent hits and a healthy selection of classics like Naruto Shippuden. Though Funimation once cut ties with the site, they ended up reinstating a handful of anime.
Plus, Crunchyroll has titles from a variety of licensing companies and is working on co-producing original anime. It's a great subscription service for anime fans who want a mix of old and new shows.

Should I Watch..? "Kick-Ass 2"
Anime Selection Rating: 4.5 Stars
Funimation's online library includes almost every anime the licensing company has worked on in the past 20 years, and though they don't advertise an exact number, it's at least 500 titles. They have older and more obscure series like .hack//SIGN and Noir, plus newer shows like Demon Slayer and My Hero Academia.
Funimation has also become known for rescuing titles from defunct licensing companies like Bandai and ADV. Trigun, Excel Saga, The Vision of Escaflowne, and much more are all still available in the U.S. thanks to Funimation's efforts.
Usually, Funimation is able to release exclusive dubbed episodes of popular anime about two weeks after they air in Japan. Funimation's usual simulcast dubs have been somewhat delayed due to COVID-19, but they are still able to release new episodes on a limited basis. As the coronavirus pandemic wanes, they will hopefully return to regular releases.
Funimation is also not available outside of the U.S. Residents of other countries will want to use a different service, especially since Funimation's site tends to not work with VPNs.
The most popular titles on Funimation's subscription service are often available subtitled or on Netflix or Crunchyroll, so the subscription isn't a must-have. However, it's a great buy for anime fans who want to rewatch classics or want faster access to new dubs.
Though VRV has a smaller selection than some of the others, it also includes a selection of other cartoons and live action sci-fi shows. Most if not all of its anime are also available on Crunchyroll, Hi-Dive, or Funimation, so you don't need this service for anime if you have the other three. Also note that VRV only seems to be available for U.S. residents.
VRV's anime tend to be either recent hits or popular classics from the above three listed streaming sites. It seems to have most, if not all, of Crunchyroll and Hi-Dive's libraries, but only a handful of Funimation's titles due to their reduced offerings through Crunchyroll.
VRV has many episodes available for free, with a few ad breaks per episode much like Crunchyroll. Their offerings are somewhat subject to change, so if they have a show you want to see, try to watch it as soon as possible.
Hi-Dive
Hi-Dive has a limited selection of anime, but like Crunchyroll and Funimation, they have a diverse selection of genres. They also have some dub and sub simulcasts, including some of the same series other services have. They are currently only available in the US and Canada, though.
Their classic shows include Familiar of Zero, Clannad, Getbackers, You're Under Arrest and Azumanga Daioh, just to name a few. They don't have the most popular new shows, but do have some gems including Ahiru no Sora, Magia Record, and We Never Learn. They also have some movies and OVAs like No Game No Life 0 and Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works.
A few fan-favorite series like Monochrome Factor and Space Runaway Ideon are available exclusively through Hi-Dive, but for the most part, the selection of series is also available through other sites. If you have Crunchyroll and at least one other subscription service, you probably don't need Hi-Dive as well.
Amazon Prime has dozens of anime from the past 3-4 years, but also has some surprising older titles like Elfen Lied and Itazura na Kiss. They have a variety of genres, although a slightly heavier emphasis on shoujo romance and sci-fi in their U.S. service.
Sadly, Amazon has a bad habit of making anime available on their site, letting the streaming license expire, and then leaving the show information up with "This show is currently unavailable" under the title. If you're looking for older anime that were formerly on Amazon Prime, check Crunchyroll or Funimation.
The biggest reason for the mediocre star rating for Amazon Prime, though, is that many of its series aren't included for free with the service. Some of the dubbed anime is an addition per-episode or season fee. Like with Hi-Dive and VRV, you probably don't need an Amazon Prime subscription in addition to other streaming sites.

Background and educationEdit
Lansdowne was the son of Prime Minister William Petty, 1st Marquess of Lansdowne (better known as the Earl of Shelburne) by his second marriage to Lady Louisa, daughter of John FitzPatrick, 1st Earl of Upper Ossory. He was educated at Westminster School, the University of Edinburgh, and Trinity College, Cambridge.[1]
Political careerEdit
He entered the House of Commons in 1802 as member for the family borough of Calne and quickly showed his mettle as a politician. In February 1806 he became Chancellor of the Exchequer in Lord Grenville's Ministry of All the Talents, being at this time member for the University of Cambridge, but he lost both his seat and his office in 1807. In 1809 he became Marquess of Lansdowne, and in the House of Lords and in society he continued to play an active part as one of the Whig leaders. His chief interest was perhaps in the question of Roman Catholic emancipation, a cause which he consistently championed, but he sympathised also with the advocates of the abolition of the slave-trade and with the cause of popular education. Lansdowne, who had succeeded his cousin, Francis Thomas Fitzmaurice, as 4th Earl of Kerry in 1818, took office with Canning in May 1827 and was Secretary of State for the Home Department from July of that year until January 1828.
He was Lord President of the Council under Earl Grey and then under Lord Melbourne from November 1830 to August 1841, with the exception of the few months in 1835 when Sir Robert Peel was prime minister. He held the same office during the whole of Lord John Russell's ministry (1846–1852), and, having declined to become prime minister, sat in the cabinets of Lord Aberdeen and of Lord Palmerston, but without office. In 1857 he refused the offer of a dukedom, and he died on 31 January 1863. Lansdowne's social influence and political moderation made him one of the most powerful Whig statesmen of the time; he was frequently consulted by Queen Victoria on matters of moment, and his long official experience made his counsel invaluable to his party.
Other public appointmentsEdit
Lansdowne chaired the inaugural meeting of the London Statistical Society, and was its first president (1834–1836). He later served a second term (1842–1844). (See The Times 15 and 17 March 1834, and John Bibby (1987) HOTS: History of Teaching Statistics.)
FamilyEdit
Lord Lansdowne married Lady Louisa Fox-Strangways, daughter of the 2nd Earl of Ilchester, in 1808. She died in April 1851, aged 65. Lord Lansdowne died in January 1863, aged 82. His eldest son, the Earl of Kerry, had predeceased him and he was succeeded in the marquessate by his eldest surviving son Henry. The latter was the father of Henry Petty-FitzMaurice, 5th Marquess of Lansdowne, who also became a distinguished statesman.

Adam Silver praises international stars and improvements in game presentation
Adam Silver takes questions from the media about game show improvements, the NBA's international stars and more.
The setting was as exotic as it gets for NBA press conferences: Etihad Arena on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates and the Arabian Gulf. One of the questions for NBA commissioner Adam Silver was about Victor Webaniyama, the lanky French teenager who already looks like the most sought-after No. 1 draft sensation since LeBron James two decades ago.
So it seemed only natural that the topics would focus on change and the future when Silver met with international journalists on Thursday. He spoke before the Milwaukee Bucks and Atlanta Hawks played the first of two NBA preseason games here, the final set for Saturday.
"I've been in the NBA now for 30 years," Silver said. "I think in the next five years, we're going to see a lot more growth than we've seen in the last 30 years. There are so many changes happening in the presentation of sports right now."
Silver standing in Abu Dhabi conducting a press conference usually held at the NBA Finals and All-Star Games is a sign of the league's growth and progress already. Although these are the first games held in the Bay Area, the NBA's product has been available via telecasts for about 35 years, he said.
Players and coaches have visited Basketball Without Borders clinics and programs for three decades, and the Middle East and North Africa has produced approximately 25 NBA players over the years.
"For me, it's the culmination of many decades of work here," Silver said.
So what's next in terms of the game's presentation, he was asked.
"One of the things we're working on right now is the distribution of the games," the commissioner said. "That is the ease of accessibility of the games. Part of why we launched this new [NBA] The app this year is that it is widely available. … We recognize that it has to be convenient for fans to get our games. Not looking in many different places, different apps, different networks to try to find us."
Ahead of the 2022-23 season, the league released the newly redesigned NBA app to be an all-in-one destination for fans of each team.
To celebrate the new app, the league released its campaign, "This is HAPPENING," to get fans excited about everything the NBA app has to offer. pic.twitter.com/4ImwtmPcz7
— NBA Communications (@NBAPR) October 6, 2022
Streaming platforms and video technology will increasingly allow fans to customize their viewing. "Customization, personalization," Silver called it.
"To the extent that you want to follow a specific player, you want more data as you watch the game, you want to chat with your friends or part of a larger conversation with experts," he said. "All these things are starting to happen now in sports, but I feel like we're just scratching the surface."
Other issues raised by journalists:
• Silver cited the "density" of the 82-game schedule as a challenge in having teams play twice, rather than just once, when sent to overseas destinations for regular-season games. This season, Miami and San Antonio will play in Mexico City on December 17th. Chicago and Detroit will travel to Paris for a game on January 19th.
"Even just playing a game in Europe, adjusting the time, adjusting the travel, adjusting a little bit of jet lag when we get back, that already puts a ripple on the schedule," he said. "I know our teams, since they're already making the trip, they're going to play twice right away."
• Two of the league's brightest stars, Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic — who have won the past four Kia Most Valuable Player awards — drew high praise.
"Where do I start? I'll start with John the man," Silver said. "He's just an incredible young man. I can tell, watching him here in Abu Dhabi, he just loves interacting with the people here. He stays extra to he is with the young people in the clinics. He is very welcoming. He is, I feel very much, a global citizen. He represents Greece incredibly well. Apparently his parents are from Africa and now [he is] living in the United States.
"He brings real joy to the game. You can see it in his style of play and his relationship with his teammates. And of course Giannis as a player is a multiple MVP. Someone who plays with injuries. Someone who always plays with incredible passion. He took the game to the highest level but put in the extra time in the gym to continue to develop his game. It's a commissioner's dream."
Silver recycled superlatives when asked about Jokic.
"All the wonderful things I said about Giannis, also about Nikolas," he said. "Also an incredible young man. Big man but a different style in many ways to Giannis. Truly a wizard with the ball. He represents Serbia incredibly well. I'm not going to put any odds on his chances of winning MVP again, but another player who's just a joy to watch."
• The buzz about Wembanyama traveled 8,211 miles from Henderson, Nev., to Abu Dhabi, sparking a question about the supposedly alluring prize of the 2023 NBA draft. Silver said he watched Tuesday's showdown on the NBA's new app between the tall, impossibly skilled youngster's Metropolitans 92 team and Scoot Henderson's G League Ignite team.
"I think I could beat a player who hasn't even made it to the NBA yet by calling him 'the next great thing,'" Silver said. "But it certainly has all the makings of a real game changer. The physical media. He certainly seems to have the mind set to be a big player. He got on that big stage against Ignite.
The commissioner added: "I know a lot of our NBA teams are running around with the idea that maybe through our lottery they could get him. … Unlike players of an earlier generation, the games were accessible to him — it wasn't just watching old videotapes produced by Ahmad Rashad from the old days. He could mold his game around certain players.
"So I'm really excited to watch him develop this year."

Where to find it? Well… possibly here.
You upload the first 7,000 words of your novel or 2,500 words (I think it is) of your short story.
You request a work to read and review it.
Reviews are assigned to members of the site completely at random.
You are given a credit for each review you write and each credit earns you a review of your work from another member of the site.
You are given questions about the work you have read which you have to answer, thus ensuring that you read it.
You are asked to mark the work out of five for aspects such as characterisation, plot, writing etc, which helps you to focus what you say to the author.
You are invited to write a comment of over 100 words and reminded to be constructive.
When you have reviewed 4 pieces of other people's work you can see what people have said about yours.
When you have received 8 reviews of your work you can enter the "rankings" the points from your previous reviews are counted into this.
I've had two pieces of excellent feedback from readers for the first 7,000 words of my novel which have given me a lot to think about.
Where this system differs from other read and review sites is that although it has a ranking system, this is not dependent on return reads. Because you are assigned work to read at random there is no incentive for you to butter up the writer in the hope of getting a good crit in return. When you request some work to review, you will naturally aim for a quick turnaround because the faster you do it, the faster your work is sent out for review.
So… If you want feedback it's definitely useful, I've no idea what it's like from the point of view of reaching the top 10 and being "seen" although I've heard rumours that this does occur.
Looks good so far, then. I will let you know how I get on when I've been using the site longer.


India's biggest ecommerce company Flipkart is acquiring eBay's operations here in a deal structured as part of a $2 billion capital raising. This replenishes its war-chest in its fight with Amazon for market share on its home turf.
Two people familiar with the talks told FactorDaily that eBay's India unit, which is a distant sixth in terms of market share after Flipkart, Amazon, Shopclues, Paytm and Snapdeal in India's $15 billion e-commerce market, will get folded into Flipkart as part of the transaction.
The latest fundraising, led by Chinese internet giant Tencent which is putting in over $500 million, also has eBay and Microsoft as backers, the two people said. Bloomberg reported on March 20 that Flipkart has closed its $1 billion funding from Microsoft, Tencent and eBay. FactorDaily's sources said the round will stay open until it reaches $2 billion in total.
The round values Flipkart at around $10 billion, which is lower than the $15.1 billion valuation in its last round, but higher than the $8 billion valuation that was expected in the round. "Even a $10 billion valuation means a lot and will go a long way in establishing India's image among the foreign LPs who have been sceptical about exits," said an executive familiar with the development.
A second source said that Flipkart's talks with Walmart to raise funds had not closed and the US retailer could invest in the company in the medium term.
Having raised $4.1 billion in 13 funding rounds since January 2009, Flipkart is locked in an intense battle with Amazon over share in India's ecommerce market. As Amazon closed in on Flipkart's lead, the Indian company has seen three CEOs at the helm, with founders — Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal — stepping away from running core operations. Kalyan Krishnamurthy, a former trusted lieutenant of Flipkart's biggest investor Tiger Global, is now the CEO.
eBay, which is a small investor in Snapdeal, has made unsuccessful attempts to acquire the New Delhi-based online retailer over past few years but failed to do so. It will now finally get to become a part of the battlefront against Amazon in India.
eBay launched in India in 2004, much ahead of Flipkart's birth and Amazon's entry, but fell behind in the fast-paced market.
Earlier this month, eBay's country head for India, Latif Nathani, moved back to the US after stint spanning a decade. eBay appointed its India business head Vidmay Naini as the new country manager.
Tencent has backed messaging platform Hike and online medical platform Practo in the past.
At the time of publishing this story, eBay had not responded to an email query sent by FactorDaily on Thursday. This story will be updated if we hear from the company. A Flipkart spokesperson said the "company doesn't comment on market speculations".
Updated at 9.35pm on March 23 to correct Vidmay Naini's name. It was written as Vidmay Maini. The error is regretted.

Some of Akufo-Addo's policies will plunge Ghana into chaos – Anyidoho
Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, Koku Anyidoho has said that even though he has an aversion to the ideologies of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), he will never wish them and their leader, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo bad.
According to him, the NPP is now implementing some ideas of the NDC which to him is "Okay" – but "We must strategize well".
"We (NDC) must go back to our ideologies. We are social democrats, the NPP claim they are capitalist but their policies are not working so diverting to be socialists like us. But their kind of socialism they are practicing will bring chaos to this country," he said.
Koku Anyidoho however opined that some policies been implemented by the Nana Addo-led government will 'collapse' the country.
He failed to pinpoint one policy that will lead to the nation's failure but insisted that – "Nana Addo will blow of the system into chaos. He wants to implement a socialist policy. And if we are not careful and he doesn't do it well, he will destroy the system."
Speaking on NEAT FM's morning show 'Ghana Montie', the deputy General Secretary of the opposition NDC after questioning President Nana Addo's style of leadership said – "We want the best for this country.

Federal Corporate Sentencing: Compliance and Mitigation
The first book to examine the Organizational Sentencing Guidelines in detail, Federal Corporate Sentencing: Compliance and Mitigation shows how to develop and improve an internal compliance program—a critical preventive tool and the most important mitigating factor in sentencing. Because the Guidelines give legal recognition to compliance programs, a properly designed program can make the difference between a fine of several thousand dollars and one in the tens of millions.
This essential reference also brings you comprehensive coverage of subjects such as: determination of sentences, including aggravating and mitigating factors; global compliance programs; standards of conduct under Sarbanes-Oxley; advocacy strategies when dealing with prosecutors, judges and probation officers; guidance on advising corporations already under federal scrutiny; the use of deferred and non-prosecution agreements; government policies on waiver of the attorney-client privilege and work product protection as proof of a corporation's full cooperation; "corporate probation"; the interplay between the sentencing guidelines for individuals and for corporations; environmental and antitrust offenses; and more.

WVU fans riot after big win over Va. Tech
Published: Oct. 23, 2003 at 1:55 PM EDT|Updated: Oct. 24, 2003 at 12:59 PM EDT
(Morgantown, West Virginia-AP) Oct. 23, 2003 -- Some rowdy college football fans lit dozens of fires and caused other damage early today in Morgantown, West Virginia. The violence followed West Virginia University's win over Virginia Tech.
No one was seriously injured, but authorities report 20 arrests. Emergency officials say people set nearly 60 fires and describe a dozen of them as "sizable." County officials say they were considering cutting off power to the area after at least one fire came dangerously close to power lines. Another fire twisted the metal on a car.
One student says people were burning couches, mattresses and recliners.
The streets are littered with broken glass and bottle rockets. Firecrackers went off continually. One police car was partly covered with shaving cream, as students with video cameras recorded the violence. Rocks and bottles were thrown at police and firefighters.
Inside the stadium, police pepper-sprayed fans who tried to tear down the goal posts.

So it's the first year since Dorothy has been born and finances are at the lowest for a very long time.
But this year thanks to Blogging, we've been able to have fun and enjoy Christmas, have read blogs about great cheap ideas for things to do and been able to go places we wouldn't have afforded. One of those places was Winter Wonderland at Eventcity in Manchester. Here's a very short video of the whole evening: I can't believe how amazing the carnival is considering last time I was there it was a Baby Expo! There's some amazing places to go including full sized amusement rides and a carousel. We took Bethany and her friend and one of the greatest things about Winter Wonderland was because it was contained, everyone in there either had tickets or was part of the staff. There was security at every entrance and with ATM machines, toilets, food stalls and even a bar, they really had everything covered. Last note, Santa's grotto was probably the best designed we've ever seen! Dorothy had a number of firsts on this trip. First time on a rollercoaster, first time flying through the air on a mad helicopter and first time seeing Mrs Claus without crying.
As I've said above, being a blogger introduces you to other very good bloggers.
How Cybe Safe are You?
It was a great post. Thanks for writing and sharing with me.


Breathing exercises are an important part of the Wim Hof Method. This infamous and powerful method enabled 'Iceman' Wim Hof to achieve extraordinary things like climbing Mount Everest in his shorts and running barefoot in the snow for extended periods of time. WHM is like, Tummo and Pranayama, a type of breathwork, but has his own particular features. The WHM breathing exercise will help you gain control over your body and mind, and ultimately help you to influence your nervous system and immune system. As Wim puts it, his method is based on 'cold hard nature' and helps you battle forces like cold, heat, and stress.
Practicing the specific breathing exercises of the Wim Hof Method will release your inner fire. The exercises are focused on deep and rhythmic inhalations and exhalations, described by Wim as 'controlled hyperventilation or power breathing' and are followed by a retention time, where you hold your breath for a x amount of time. By practicing the breathing exercises, you are releasing more energy, influencing your nervous system and changing various physiological responses. You are inducing voluntarily a short stress response which ultimately will lead to more resilience towards everyday stress, mentally and physiology and feeling more in control.
The Wim Hof Method is also linked to reducing symptoms of diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, asthma, sarcoidosis, vasculitis, and several autoimmune diseases.
Make contact with your heart and positively influence your blood circulation.
While Wim's achievements are without a doubt impressive, his method has received a lot of skepticism. However, in recent years, the benefits of practicing the Wim Hof Method are backed by a significant amount of scientific proof. Several scientific institutes including Radboud University and Academic Medical Centre (AMC) have tested Wim's method, using randomized controlled experiments in the process.
The outcomes of these studies confirm that Wim and other participants are able to voluntary influence their autonomic nervous system, something that was thought impossible until then. Currently several studies are conducted that further explore the effects of the Wim Hof Method in areas as brain activity, metabolic activity, inflammation, and pain.
What's great about the Wim Hof Method and its breathing exercises is that you can practice it at home, all by yourself. In the following section, we will give you a step-by-step explanation of the breathing exercises that form the fundamentals of Wim's method. Always remember to practice these exercises in a safe environment and unforced.Never practice the breathing exercises in a place where it could be dangerous to faint.
Before you start practicing the breathing exercises, it is important to get as comfortable as possible. Sit in a comfortable posture in which you can expand your lungs freely. To make sure that you can expand your lung for the fullest, it is recommended to practice the exercises on an empty stomach.
For this first breathing exercise, imagine that you are blowing up a balloon. While using your midriff fully, inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. Use short and powerful bursts. Close your eyes and repeat 30 times. You can become light-headed during this exercise or experience a tingling sensation. This is normal.
After your 30 power breaths, fill your lungs to maximum capacity, but don't force it. Exhale and hold for as long as you can. Hold your breath without forcing it, until you experience the gasp reflex.
Inhale to maximum capacity and feel your chest expanding. When your lungs are full, hold your breath for 10 seconds. Release the breath, and begin a new round. Repeat 3 to 4 times.
Take your time to enjoy the feeling that the breathing exercises invoke. This feeling is similar to the effects of meditation and will get more powerful when you practice more often.
When combined, the three pillars of the Wim Hof Method provide an extremely powerful tool to awake the dormant energy that is lurking inside all of us. Combine the breathing exercises with power-ups like yoga poses and pushups and discover your real inner strength. Completing Wim's breathing exercises will prepare you for exposure to the cold.

Pozible documentary project AYA: Awakenings
by Via the House · March 12, 2011
AYA: Awakenings is an audiovisual journey into the world and visions of ayahuasca shamanism produced by the Undergrowth collective.
Adapted from the book 'Aya: a Shamanic Odyssey' by Rak Razam (Icaro Publishing), this experimental documentary has evolved from a live audiovisual performance created as part of a book tour in California in late 2009 which blended spoken word, atmospheric sound design by Buttons Touching and hypnotic psychedelic visuals mixed with documentary footage and photography by video artist Tim Parish (Verb Studios).  After two popular performances, it was also invited to perform at the Evolutionary Temple at Burning Man Festival 2009 in Nevada. In 2010 an early version of the documentary was performed at the Cairns Winter Solstice festival in Australia.
The final "video book" ("vook") merges narration gleaned from select chapters of the book with interviews and innovative sound design, taking the audience on a journey into the jungles of Peru, where the practice of traditional shamanism has an unbroken lineage to the present day. The documentary utilizes interviews with practicing curanderos, and incorporates traditional icaros or magic songs, photographs and video recorded in Peru, mixed with traditional patterns to reproduce the visions seen through the ayahuasca trance.
The project is aimed at funding six high-definition final short videos, already roughly assembled from the tour, which need final animation, sound and video editing mastering, to complete a 90-120 minute "video book" (vook) / DVD, which will also be available as discreet clips for the iPhone and iPad.
Your support will directly fund cutting edge animators, and pay the video editor, sound designer and artists whose artwork and photos are sampled in the clips, as well as operating costs in getting these clips finished and released to the public. The first two clips are draft completed and were video shorts before the recent Mitch Schultz "Spirit Molecule" documentary tour Down Under in Dec 2010 and are breathtaking works. Unlike the plethora of indy ayahuasca documentaries coming out, these show the experience from the inside out, alongside a memoir-narrative that guides you through the journey into Peruvian shamanism and helps make sense of it.

Hospital operational inefficiencies can be difficult to overcome and can have a negative effect on employee satisfaction and patient experience. However, with the right data and tools, hospitals can take a proactive approach to defeating these issues.
To overcome operational inefficiencies, such as long wait times in the emergency department, innovative hospital leaders are looking to real-time platforms that reveal trends and factors that contribute to such issues. While these solutions can provide healthcare organizations with retrospective insight for understanding past trends, hospitals and health systems are using them to act in real-time to improve efficiency, meaningfully impact the patient and clinician experience, and sustain results.
Before being named COO of Mercy Hospital Springfield (Mo.) last year, Brent Hubbard served as COO of Mercy Fort Smith (Ark.), a role he began in 2013. "When I joined Fort Smith, we [encountered] several challenges," said Mr. Hubbard during a March 22 webinar sponsored by Qventus and hosted by Becker's Hospital Review. He said patient satisfaction was suffering, the hospital's left-without-being-seen rate was too high, and its discharge length of stay and admitted length of stay exceeded national averages.
To address these challenges, hospital leadership knew they had to start by fixing the root of the hospital's operational inefficiency issues — the emergency department. Mr. Hubbard said many of the hospital's challenges, including those in the ED, were attributable to only having access to retrospective data analysis. The hospital had data and analytics, but insights derived from such systems were not available in real time. "Every day we were being reactive rather than proactive," he said. "We were always looking in the rear-view mirror."
The hospital decided to partner with Qventus, which offers a software platform that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to help hospital teams make better operational decisions in real-time. The Qventus platform enables hospital leaders to monitor data in real time, predict potential issues, identify course corrections and communicate them to frontline teams in the form of "nudges." The platform uses the hospital's preferred form of communication, including text messages, to share those course corrections with decision-makers.
Within a few months of using the real-time solution, Mercy Fort Smith significantly improved patient satisfaction and achieved a 30 percent reduction in its left-without-being-seen rate, a 14 percent reduction in length of stay, a 20 percent reduction in door-to-doc time and a 40 percent reduction in unnecessary testing. The hospital produced these results while experiencing an 18 percent increase in patient volume.
Mr. Hubbard said the hospital has sustained the results since implementing the Qventus system and has rose in patient satisfaction from 29th of 33 hospitals in the Mercy system to number three. "I couldn't be prouder of what my team accomplished," he said.
Mercy Ardmore (Okla.) is a 190-bed hospital in rural Oklahoma that is also part of the St. Louis-based Mercy system. The hospital had high performance with many ED-specific metrics, but the hospital's nursing staff was frustrated with the transition process from ED to inpatient floor.
To assess the level of the hospital's ED throughput problem, Jennifer Bramlett, RN, director of nursing and emergency services at Mercy Hospital Ardmore, looked to CMS Core Measures disposition to admit data. The data revealed that the top 10 percent of hospitals move patients from ED to bed in 42 minutes. Mercy Hospital Ardmore's disposition to admit time was nearly 89 minutes, on average.
To overcome its inefficiencies, Mercy Hospital Ardmore partnered with Qventus. The hospital began using Qventus Mission Control to manage the ED in real time. "I can see when metrics are deviating from our goals," said Ms. Bramlett. "It highlights areas where we need to respond immediately and provides us insight into areas that are likely to be problems so we can get ahead of the issues." Ms. Bramlett said she can also monitor how the team is responding to system recommendations and how well they're collaborating to solve the problems.
The hospital set a goal of reducing disposition to admit time to 42 minutes and worked with Qventus to develop a play focused on reaching this target. When a patient waits more than 42 minutes, each team member receives a nudge via their phone, encouraging them to take action. Ms. Bramlett said the system provides her with real-time data she can use to understand what team or person is having issues and what day and time those issues typically occur. "I'm also able to see where we are being successful so we can replicate best practices," said Ms. Bramlett.
Ms. Bramlett said she was blown away with the results the hospital achieved. After using the system for five months, the hospital reduced its disposition to admit time by 10 percent. The hospital also experienced other ED improvements, including a 19 percent reduction in arrival-to-room time, a 55 percent reduction in the left-without-being-seen rate and a 17 percent reduction in door-to-doc time.
"I am passionate about improving our ED," said Ms. Bramlett. "I love that everyone is coming to the table to own their piece of the problem and solution so it raises ownership and accountability."
By applying AI and machine learning to the terabytes of data that Mercy hospitals were already generating, the care teams at Mercy Fort Smith and Mercy Ardmore where able to make better operational decisions in real-time. The result was improvement across all measurable performance metrics and improved cross functional communication.

Regardless of the dreams we dream, to make 2016 an anything but average year there's a simple principle to follow: Don't use average to estimate the limits of excellence. You'll drastically underestimate what's possible.
Who really want's to be average? The average life expectancy is 78.8 years. The average American carries $7,200 of credit card debt. Average female weighs 166 lbs and a male weighs 195.5 lbs. Average personal trainer makes $50,000. Average private training facility pulls in less than $300,000 a year.
Average is nothing more than what society uses to measure mediocrity: How to fit in, dress, train clients, set up your training floor to look like everyone else's, acquire debt to grow, and push supplements to fix a behavior problem because "that's the way everyone does it in the industry."
Average is a well intentioned measure of success according to everyone else.
The fitness marketers say everyone should use social media for endless leads. Business gurus want you to grow faster, not better, to make seven figures. The celebrity trainers make it seem like we all have to be loaded up on four cans of Red Bull to get the most out of our clients.
It seems the safest thing to do is to fit in by doing what the masses do. It's also safe to say we have a surplus of average.
Deep down inside, we're screaming to be anything but average. It's why we spending an hour using the filters on our phones camera before posting selfies. It's why we only share the highlights of our life on social media, instead of our average day. We are all wanting to make a dent in the world, but we are held up measuring excellence with average action.
Excellence is defined by you, not a step-by-step program you purchase. It's not defined by what's the cool thing to do in the moment. It's not defined by just being different for different sakes.
- every training session from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The law of average trainers usually reflects wishful thinking. On the flip side, anything but average trainers do what they know.
To make 2016 anything but average, simply put into action all that you know for the next 365 days.

Fourth-Generation Family Business with Deep Chicago Roots
Serving Chicago Area Shippers and Manufacturers Since 1904
We are extremely proud of our Chicago roots and endurance as the small guy in a big industry. For over a century we have experienced many ups and downs in business, but remain a family owned and operated company.
We were founded as Barr & Miles Trucking Company on Goose Island in Chicago. At that time of our founding, Goose Island, an island formed by the North Branch of the Chicago River on the west and the North Branch Canal on the east, was a brawny patch of land with lumber yards, tanneries, varnish companies, coal yards and more. Wm. Charles Miles and Lawrence M. Barr — along with Larry's father and Bill's father-in-law John Barr — started the company with horse-drawn wagons housed in a barn and began transporting hides to tanneries, coal and coke to and from factories across the river, and lumber from lumber ships that came up the river.
After Wm. Charles Miles was tragically killed in an automobile accident in 1925, his wife, Annie Barr Miles sold her "Miles" half of the business to her brother Larry Barr and the company relocates to 1140 N. Hickory
The trucking company grew and second generation owner, Lawrence Martin Barr (LM), carried the Barr & Miles torch until passing away early in 1944 leaving his wife, Mary Barr, two daughters and a son. Their youngest son, Lawrence John (LJ) James Barr continued the business.
Barr and Miles moves off of Goose Island to a location in the area that is now known as McCormick Place – 2420 S. Prairie.
Sixteen years later, Barr & Miles moves to 5502 W. 47th Street.
Tragically LJ's life ends early and, his four sons take over the business.
LJ's youngest son, Thomas John (TJ) Lawrence Barr, is the fourth-generation running business at the 47th Street location.
From left to right: three generations of Barr & Miles owners –
Lawrence M Barr, Lawrence Martin Barr (LM) and Lawrence John (LJ) Barr.
Barr & Miles continues to deepen its commitment to Chicago and are proud supporters of well-known Chicagos area institutions such as:

Tobias Sana (1989. július 11.–) svéd válogatott labdarúgó, az IFK Göteborg játékosa. Mivel gyorsan mozog a pályán, ezért leginkább jobbszélsőként játszik. Édesanyja svéd, az édesapja pedig Burkina Fasó-i, ezért Sana kettős állampolgársággal rendelkezik. A két válogatott közül ő a svéd csapatot választotta mivel ebben az országban született. Profi karrierjét 2007-ben a svéd másodosztályú Qviding FIF csapatánál kezdte, majd átigazolt az elsőosztályú IFK Göteborg csapatához. Majd 2012-ben eligazolt Svédországból, és a világhírű holland AFC Ajax csapatának lett a játékosa és még jelenleg is itt játszik.

A svéd válogatottban életében először 2012. október 16-án lépett pályára Németország ellen. Ez egy vb-selejtező mérkőzés volt Berlinben, ami végül 4:4-gyel végződött.

Pályafutása

Qviding FIF
Sana a fiatalkorában két klubnál is szerepelt. Elsőként a Marieholms BolK csapatánál játszott, később pedig a Västra Frölunda IF csapatánál volt. Egészen 2007-ig játszott volt az utóbbi klubnál, mivel ekkor kapta meg első profi szerződését az akkor a svéd harmadosztályban szereplő Qviding FIF csapatától. Az első szezonjában még nem lépett pályára az első csapatban. Mivel megnyerték a 2007-es bajnokságot, így feljutották a másodosztályba, más néven a Superettanba. A 2008-as szezonban már tagja lett az első csapatnak is. Ebben a szezonban összesen 22 alkalommal lépett pályára és 2 gólt sikerült is lőnie. A szezon után átigazolt az elsőosztályban szereplő városi rivális IFK Göteborghoz.

IFK Göteborg
Miután átszerződött az IFK Göteborg csapatához, 2009 április 11-én be is mutatkozott az új klubjában és a svéd első osztályban is. Ezen a mérkőzésen hazai pályán 6:0-ra győzték le a Djurgårdens IF csapatát. A 2009-es szezon elején az IFK csapatánál játszott, a szezon közepén visszatért előző klubjához kölcsönjátékra, a szezon végén pedig ismét visszatért jelenlegi csapatához. Az egész szezonban összesen 12 mérkőzésen lépett pályára és az egyetlen gólt amit szerzett, azt a Qviding FIF-nél eltöltött kölcsönjáték alatt szerezte. Az IFK csapatával ezüstérmesek lettek az első osztályban.

A következő - 2010-es - szezonban még nem volt alapembere a göteborgi csapatnak mivel az egész idényben csak 11-szer lépett pályára. Viszont a szezon végén megszerezte első gólját ebben a csapatban is. 2010 november 7-én, a Gefle IF ellen 2:2-vel véget ért hazai mérkőzésen volt először eredményes az IFK csapatánál.

A 2011-es szezonban már kezdőjátékosa lett csapatának. Viszont ebben a szezon annak ellenére, hogy 26 mérkőzésen lépett pályára egyetlenegyszer sem volt eredményes.

A 2012-es idény első felében is még az IFK Göteborg csapatánál játszott. Egészen július végéig játszott még itt. 11 alkalommal lépett pályára és 2-szer is eredményes tudott lenni. Annak ellenére, hogy az elmúlt szezonokban nem mutatott kimagasló játékot, az Eredivisie világhírű klubja az AFC Ajax kinézte magának Sana-t és augusztus elején le is igazolták őt 400 ezer euróért.

AFC Ajax

2012/2013
Augusztus 1-jén meg is kötötte 3 éves szerződését a klubbal. Miután átköltözött Amszterdamba, elkezdte a munkát az Ajaxnál. A csapat első tétmérkőzésén, a Holland Szuperkupa döntőjében még nem volt a keret tagja. Viszont nem kellett sokat várnia a debütálásra sem. A 2012/2013-as szezonban, csapata első mérkőzésén már pályára lépett. Ezt a mérkőzést augusztus 12-én hazai pályán játszotta az Ajax, az ellenfelük az AZ Alkmaar volt és a végeredmény pedig 2:2 lett. Sana csereként, a 46. percben lépett pályára élete első mérkőzésén az amszterdami csapatnál. Jól sikerült a debütálása, mivel jól is játszott és a szurkolók őt választották a mérkőzés második legjobbjának. Első góljára sem kellett sokat várnia a svéd szélsőnek. Már a 2. fordulóban, a NEC Nijmegen elleni idegenbeli mérkőzésen betalált. Itt már kezdőként lépett pályára és meg is hálálta az edző, Frank de Boer bizalmát. Az 1:6-ra megnyert mérkőzésen kétszer is betalált és ő lett a "Mérkőzés embere" is. Jól folytatódott a következő forduló is mind a csapatnak mind Sana-nak. Az augusztus 25-én, a NAC Breda ellen 5:0-ra megnyert találkozón is sikerült a góllövés, adott egy gólpasszt és ismét ő lett a mérkőzés legjobbja. Tehát a vártnál sokkal jobban indított Sana az Ajaxnál. Élete első mérkőzését a Bajnokok Ligájában szeptember 18-án játszotta. Kezdőként lépett pályára a Borussia Dortmund otthonában. Ezt a szoros mérkőzést végül a hazaiak nyerték meg 1:0-ra. Ezek után kicsit visszaesett a teljesítménye és ezért ki is került a kezdőcsapatból. Ezt a teljesítménycsökkenést edzője, Frank de Boer szerint a fáradtság okozta. Ezért több mérkőzésen nem is lépett pályára. Ennek ellenére a BL-csoportkörében csak egy mérkőzést hagyott ki. Karrierje szempontjából egy másik fontos mérkőzése december 16-án volt. Ez a Willem II Tilburg csapata ellen idegenben 2:4-re megnyert bajnoki mérkőzés volt. Ez volt Sana klubcsapatban lejátszott 100. tétmérkőzése. A szezon második felében pedig legtöbbször a Jong Ajax-ban lépett pályára. Új volt neki még az Ajax játékstílusa és ezért hozzá kellett szoknia. Viszont a bajnokságot sikerült megnyernie az Ajax-nak, így Sana az első évében azonnal bajnok lett csapatával.

2013/2014
A következő, 2013/2014-es szezon elején legtöbbször a cserepadon kapott helyet magának az elsőcsapatban. Ha lehetőséghez jutott, akkor általában csereként.

Válogatott
Karrierje során első alkalommal Svédország felnőtt válogatottjába október 12-én, a Feröer-szigetek elleni világbajnoki selejtezőre kapott meghívót. Ezen a mérkőzésen még nem lépett pályára. Viszont a debütálás nem váratott magára sokáig. A négy nappal később lejátszott fordulatos mérkőzésen Németország ellen lépett pályára először.

Statisztika
2013. október 6.

Magánélete
Tobias Sana Svédországban, pontosabban Göteborgban született. Mivel anyja svéd, apja pedig burkina faso-i volt, így Sananak kettős állampolgársága van. Ennek köszönhetően döntenie kellett, hogy melyik válogatottat fogja választani. A burkina faso-i válogatott kifejezte érdeklődését a fiatal labdarúgó iránt, viszont Sana is kijelentette, hogy ő a svéd válogatottban szeretne játszani. Elsősorban azért, mivel ebben az országban született.

This water grass is the answer to green water. It grows on the same nutrients that algae grows on and thus through competition for those nutrients it will clear your water of "going green". Planted within lily plantings.
Grows in soft looking, dense "mats" of bright green foliage and dotted with clusters of blue or pink flowers. It grows particularly well in waterfalls, streams or near moving water since the roots appreciate the oxygen from the aerated water. Full to partial sun.
Wonderful accent plant with a "creeping" habit, it works well to grow under taller more vertical plants, softening the edges of plant containers, waterfall rocks, etc. An added bonus is green foliage early in spring and late into the fall. Grows and spreads quickly. Cute, round leaves are less than 2" in diameter. Flowers are small, subtle tufts of white or green. Full to partial sun.
Longtime favorite watergarden plant that creates a fine, "feathery" accent for other plantings or just a great stand alone look. Whorls of leaves may be up to 3" in diameter, growing on long, trailing stems. Regular pinching or pruning will create tighter more attractive, dense foliage. Full to partial sun.
Colorful green, yellow and pink leaves make this a colorful addition to your water garden.
Beautiful, small (max. 3") leaves that float directly on the surface making this plant great for surface coverage, even in shady ponds! This plant is actually an aquatic fern that reproduces via spores. Easy to grow, very adaptive and sure to add a "lucky charm" to any water garden. Full sun to shade.
This plant "sprawls" across the water surface, sending up vertical stems less than 10" high, of bright green leaves and yellow "butter-cup" type flowers. It grows quickly so frequent "pinching" or pruning may be needed to contol this plants "exuberance." Full to partial sun.
Beautiful , somewhat compact plant with narrow bright green leaves, described as being shaped like a "tongue depressor." Flowers are small, white, and formed in pretty clusters. Perfectly suitable for tub or container ponds. Sagittaria has somewhat of a "running " habit and should be transplanted at least every two seasons. Full to partial sun.
Shiny bright green, heart-shaped leaves with multiple spikes of blue flower clusters combine to create a beautiful plant that is a standard of water garden ponds everywhere. Grows very quickly and easily will outgrow normal plant containers in a season, so annual transplanting is advised for best results. Full to partial sun.

Wonderful, somewhat taller bog plant sporting interesting white blooms above the foliage for several weeks in the summer. Full to partial sun.
Stems on this plant are topped with a "sprout" of leaves that may reach 24" across on larger, mature specemins forming the namesake "umbrella". These leaf clusters are viviparous and may form small plantlets. Full to partial sun.
Distinct plant that has a quick easy growing nature and compact size that have made this a favorite for many years. The soft looking tight tufts of green and brown form on each of its many stems providing great accent to broader-leaf plants. Full to partial sun.
A large plant that can attain mature heights exceeding 10 ft. when growing unrestricted in its native climates, it is unlikely to exceed 4 ft. in our backyard enviroments. The seed heads are large, feathery and showy. Full to partial sun.

Vinh is a magician. Magic tricks are not his only trade. He is in a business of making you happy and show you how you can turn things from impossible to possible.
What do you want to change during your lifetime?
I want to change the way people think about what they are capable of. I want to open up everyone's mind and prove to them that anything in life is possible and to challenge their negative beliefs. I am not here to reveal my art form but rather I am here to reveal the tricks that people play on themselves.
My biggest passion in life is Magic, the thing I love most about my art form the most is that it brings out the best side of people. It brings out everyones inner child, no matter how old or young we are and thats the one part of people that still believes anything is possible. I love speaking about the psychology behind this wonderful art form to help people see through the smokes and mirrors in life.
I am an Entrepreneur, Speaker and Magician. My aim is to use magic as my vehicle to create positive change in the world.


Negative and stuck, most of the time?
We aren't talking about the forever-Pollyanna viewpoint that says you have to be in a shiny-good mood all the time. That's not reality.
After all, if someone throws your favorite 9-iron in the lake, should you LOL, thank them and tell them 'it needed the grass washed off' anyway?
As outlined in 4 Ways to Better Use Positive Energy, you may not be able to control the actions of others, but you do have total control over your own attitude.
But sometimes, being positive can seem like an uphill battle. Especially if you are not careful with the quality of inputs that you let enter your mind. This is one reason why we strongly suggest you start with the Mental Strength and Peak Performance training manual so you stay mentally sharp, think and act like a champion.
After all, we are at an all time high for not only the speed of information being delivered to us, but also for the volume flying at us from more directions than we can count: Home, work, phones, apps, social accounts, TV's, Alexa, on and on.
You see, a fascinating study was just published in the British Journal of Psychology. (1) Their goal was to explore the impact that 'something as seemingly harmless' as watching the News every day had on our Mental Strength.
But you may not have guessed that the News does not have to be very severe or shocking for people to be affected by it emotionally. And, they found that the more relevant the news, the even greater negative emotional impact it stirred.
Of course, the executives behind the 'breaking news' stories know every trick in the book to rile us up emotionally. That's their job as it keeps advertising revenues on high.
Start by writing down your goals on an index card. Carry this card with you everywhere you go and look at it often. This alone will literally give you a positive dose of rocket fuel.
Be sure to use the high value trick found in: 6 Steps to Unstoppable Mental Strength for even better results.
And in case you are forced to watch the news, simultaneously grab your goal card and internalize your goals again.
Your job is to overwhelm every negative with a preponderance of your own positive thoughts that take you closer to whom you want to become.
Then immediately 'get in the arena' and take a positive action toward the highest priority goal on your list.
You'll be too busy making your own news by accomplishing your goals and creating your life!

Bible > ISV > Acts 18
◄ Acts 18 ►
International Standard Version Par ▾
Paul in Corinth
1After this, Paula left Athens and went to Corinth. 2There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paulb went to visit them, 3and because they had the same trade he stayed with them. They worked together because they were tentmakers by trade. 4Every Sabbath, he would speak in the synagogue, trying to persuade both Jews and Greeks. 5But when Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself entirely to the wordc as he emphatically assured the Jews that Jesus is the Messiah.d 6But when they began to oppose him and insult him, he shook out his clothes in protest and told them, "Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the gentiles."
7Then he left that place and went to the home of a man named Titiuse Justus, who worshipped God and whose house was next door to the synagogue. 8Now Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, along with his whole family. Many Corinthians who heard Paul also believed and were baptized.
9One night, the Lord told Paul in a vision, "Stop being afraid to speak out! Don't remain silent! 10For I am with you, and no one will lay a hand on you or harm you, because I have many people in this city." 11So Paulf lived there for a year and a half and continued to teach the word of God among the people there.g
12While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jewish leadersh gathered together, attacked Paul, and brought him before the judge's seat. 13They said, "This man is persuading people to worship God in ways that are contrary to the Law."
14Paul was about to speak when Gallio admonished the Jewish leaders,i "If there were some misdemeanor or crime involved, it would be reasonable to put up with you Jews. 15But since it is a question about words, names, and your own Law, you will have to take care of that yourselves. I refuse to be a judge in these matters." 16So he drove them away from the judge's seat. 17Then all of themj took Sosthenes, the synagogue leader, and began beating him in front of the judge's seat. But Gallio paid no attention to any of this.
Paul's Return Trip to Antioch
18After staying there for quite a while longer, Paul said goodbye to the brothers and sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila. He had his hair cut in Cenchrea, since he was under a vow. 19When they arrived in Ephesus, he left Priscilla and Aquilak there. Then he went into the synagogue and had a discussion with the Jews. 20They asked him to stay longer, but he refused. 21As he told them goodbye, he said, "I will come backl to you again if it is God's will." Then he set sail from Ephesus. 22When he arrived in Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem,m greeted the church there, and then returned to Antioch. 23After spending some time there, he departed and went from place to place through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
Apollos Preaches in Ephesus
24Meanwhile, a Jew named Apollos arrived in Ephesus. He was a native of Alexandria, an eloquent man, and well versed in the Scriptures. 25He had been instructed in the Lord's way, and with spiritual fervor he kept speaking and teaching accurately about Jesus, although he knew only about John's baptism. 26He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him home and explained God's way to him more accurately. 27When Apollosn wanted to cross over to Achaia, the brothers wrote to the disciples there, urging them to welcome him. On his arrival he greatly helped those who, through God'so grace, had believed. 28He successfully refuted the Jews in public and proved by the Scriptures that Jesus is the Messiah.p

Angophora costata (Apple Gum) - A beautiful fast growing tree that typically grows to 30 to 80 with a smooth trunk and multicolored bark. The bark starts each late spring a pinkish to orange color and ages to a gray-mauve color prior to peeling off unevenly each spring to expose the fresh cream to rose colored wood below. It has 6 inch long leaves that emerge a coppery red color and mature to a bright green color; the new red shoots of leaves are useful in floral displays. In late spring to early summer appears an abundant display of 1 inch wide white flowers held in large clusters. Trees grown in windy coastal sites can take on a more gnarled appearance with interesting character while those planted further inland grow more upright. Tolerates poor soil and moderate drought though best with occasional deep watering and tolerates wetter conditions as well. Hardy to 20 F, though younger trees are more frost sensitive. Reports of occasional limb drop indicate that careful placement of this tree in the landscape should be considered. In Australia, where it occurs naturally on the sandy soils and stony ridges of southern Queensland forests south into Victoria and New South Wales, this tree is commonly called Smooth-barked Apple or Sydney Red Gum. The name for the genus is from the Greek words, 'angos' meaning a "vessel" or "goblet" and 'phoros' meaning "carrier" or "to bear" or "to carry" in reference to the shape of the fruits. The specific epithet is from the Latin word 'costa' meaning "a rib" in reference to the ribbed fruit. The reference to an Apple in its common name was from early observations of the appearance of the first observed species, Angophora hispida. The genus Angophora is closely allied to Eucalyptus but differs in having opposite leaves, small round petals at the base of the stamens and pointed calyx lobes instead of the cap that Eucalyptus has covering its flower buds. Unlike most Eucalyptus the foliage of Angophora costata has no aroma. While these distinctions long allowed separation of the genus, it was determined that Angophora species were more closely related to some Eucalyptus than others in the genus were to each other and this prompted the formation of the new genus Corymbia. If Eucalyptus and Corymbia are ever to be reunited as Eucalyptus as some propose, Angophora would necessarily need to be included within the genus. In Harry Butterfield's manuscript, Dates of Introduction of Trees and Shrubs to California (UC Davis 1964) it is noted that Angophora lanceolata (an early illegitimate name used for Angophora costata) was introduced in California in 1860 by William Walker at his Golden Gate Nursery in San Francisco. It was also noted as being officially introduced, again as Angophora lanceolata, by the Bureau of Plant Introductions (USDA) as BPI 124003 in 1912.The largest specimen of this species known in California is an 81 foot giant in Griffith Park in Los Angeles, as listed on the Big Tree Registry. This description is based on our research and observations made of this plant as it grows in our nursery, in the nursery garden and in other gardens that we have visited. We will also incorporate comments received from others and always appreciate getting feedback of any kind from those who have some additional information about this plant, in particular if this information is contrary to what we have written or if they have additional cultural tips that would aid others in growing Angophora costata.

PREVIEW: Shot at Dawn, Dorchester Arts
By Jason Harris on	 11th April 2016 Featured, Leisure
A new performance of the WWI play by BAFTA award-winning scriptwriter John Foster Directed by Kirstie Davis.
After a sell-out performance of BAFTA award-winning scriptwriter John Foster's gripping courtroom drama Shot at Dawn, atmospherically staged in Bournemouth Town Hall's Council Chambers, Doppelganger Productions is launching a Dorset wide tour of the performance in April 2016. It arrives in Dorchester on Wednesday 13 and Thursday 14 April and will be rather poignantly, performed in the historic Shire Hall.
This compelling and emotional drama is based on the true story of two young men from the Dorsetshire Regiment, on trial for cowardice; the outcome if a guilty verdict could lead to execution by firing squad.
John Foster spent time studying the original transcripts from the trials, which were until recently restricted from public access. Now for the first time this material is available, and combined with first-hand eyewitness letters, diaries and accounts, the story reveals how these two heroes were suffering from what we now know as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, yet were condemned to death for their perceived disloyalty. The strength and originality of this new production has been acknowledged with support from national funding through the Arts Council Grants for the Arts, Heritage Lottery, Big Lottery Fund, West Dorset District Council, Arts University Bournemouth and Borough of Poole.
Writer, John Foster, explains the motivation behind the play: "The Great War is currently well- documented and life in the trenches depicted in often harrowing detail. Most narratives focus upon the heroism of soldiers, the incompetence of the commanders and the futility of war." He continues: "Shot at Dawn tells a different story. A stain on the memory of many soldiers who served remained until 2006 when a general pardon was issued by the British Government to three-hundred-and-sixty British and Commonwealth soldiers who had been summarily court martialled for cowardice and shot at dawn."
The touring production will be dramatically brought to life as it is performed in historic courtrooms across Dorset. Kirstie Davis, Play Director said: 'We are particularly honoured to be the last company to perform in the Dorchester Shire Hall this year, as it has now closed to the general public for thorough refurbishments. The audience will be offered the unique chance to explore the Georgian courtroom and cells where the Tolpuddle Martyrs were tried and held, before they reopen next year', she added: 'There will also be performances at the magnificent Guildhall in Poole, formerly the town's Magistrate's Court; the historic Corn Exchange in Blandford Forum and the intimate Council Chambers in Bridport's original Town Hall. All the venues reinforce the stark reality that soldiers were denied legal representation and the right of appeal'.
With 8 performances in 4 unique locations, audiences can expect a truly unique piece of theatre with a chance to learn more by attending the programme of talks and Q & A's.
There is also a chance to come along to one of the four afternoon Tea Dances, to help build up the Living Memories project of Dorset during the great war. The Dorchester Tea Dance will be held at the Corn Exchange on Tuesday 12 April, 2-4pm. Tickets are £3 and are available on the door. Attendees can expect an afternoon of socialising, dancing to FB Pocket Orchestra, with tea and cake for refreshments.

Now that you've taken a few lessons, your instructor is starting to talk with you about goals and of course, you want to be as good as the stars that you watched on Dancing with the Stars. Is it possible to get to the level of "good" that you want? Yes of course it is, but it takes time and practice and doesn't just happen with the snap of your fingers.
The first 5-10 lessons is all about getting the basic steps into your muscle memory. The next grouping of lessons typically works on adding a few additional steps but working on leading/following, dancing to the music and comfortably blending steps together. This next level, your bronze level, is when you will start to develop into the dancer you want to become. How can you continue to progress and actually feel that progress? Practice and come to as many classes, practice parties, and events available to you! Would you ever bowl without the proper pair of bowling shoes? No, so get yourself a pair of dance shoes if you haven't already! Will all of these things make you a "great" dancer? Not right away, but if you put in the time and effort it is possible. Are you wanting to go beyond the bronze level to silver, gold, or even open? That is certainly possible, but it takes going through these stepping stones first.
Why is "good" or "great" surrounded by quotations each time they're used in this blog? Being "good" or "great" is subjective to each person. Some people feel that is achieved when they feel comfortable in a social dance situation or they place better than they did at the previous competition. For some it's achieving a specific goal they've been working towards or being recognized with a specific placement or title. There is no one right way to be a "good" dancer.
The process from a brand new beginner to whatever advanced or "good" dancer may mean to you takes time, and that's ok. Your instructor at Ridgefield Fred Astaire Dance Studio wants to help you achieve your goals so chat with them about what you want to achieve and maybe they will have some ideas for you that you hadn't even thought of yet. It will happen, just know that it takes time and trust the process your instructor has prepared for you.


I seriously hate grading homework. But, kids are kids, and if you don't do something with it, they simply won't do it.
Even worse, it seems like some kids just copy the homework off of someone to just get it done. Or, they use one of the readily available apps to scan or input the problem and immediately get the answer.
I've tried many methods of checking homework...walking around the room and giving points for completion, giving short homework "quizzes" on problems from the night before, giving no homework, collecting the homework and only checking one or two problems, giving online homework, etc, etc, etc.
