Bob Feitl was an Architect and a Project Manager before he became an Executive Pastor. When he attended the XP-Seminar, he would often lead workshops regarding how to have a successful building project at your church. Below provides a printout of a Q&A session from one of those workshops.
Question 1: If we follow all the advice we have heard to this point in the conference, then building should be the easy part of the process?
Question 2: Can this be avoided?
You can avoid Stages 2 through 6! "Euphoria" and "Recognition of those not involved" is always there!
Question 3: What is the single most important thing to know when building? Is there one thing above all else?
Make the designer and builder a team—not adversaries.
People are the difficult part!
Separation of the two positions of architect and contractor is relatively new, historically. That has only happened during the last couple hundred years.
Specialization into two camps resulted in significant advantages and significant disadvantages. Better designers and better builders and much more sophisticated buildings.
But, it also resulted in separate profit centers with different business objectives requiring the assignment of liability—resulting in an adversarial relationship.
Think of the building process as a three legged stool: The project is the seat, the legs—of equal length—are the client, designer and builder. The braces between the legs is the communication.
Today, clients must force the designer and builder to be a team by becoming the team leader and bringing the builder into the design process at the beginning.
Question 4: How do you bring the contractor into the design process when he isn't hired yet?
This is the most common and understood method. It is assumed to give the most competitive price, but he shows up after the design is completely done.
Hire the best one you know for design phase services and bid to others at construction.
You will pay a set fee and have a higher level of control over subcontractors.
Question 5: How do you choose the right contractor?
Create a short list of pre-qualified bidders.
Question 6: How do you pre-qualify a contractor?
Question 7: How should a church handle a large project? What kind of organizational structure? Who should be involved?
Broad-based input is essential. A single source of "output" (communication to the design and construction team) is also essential.
Question 8: Construction projects typically run over budget, in spite of all the efforts to control costs. Is it realistic to stick to a budget? If so, how?
The price you get from the estimate of the construction is not the cost you will spend. Budget with that knowledge.
What is the difference between a budget and a construction estimate?
Your budget from day one must be significantly greater than your construction estimate.
Always base your budget on the total project cost.
Question 9: How can you budget for something when you don't know what it will be and don't have a contractor estimate?
Add to the construction budget at the pre-design stage AFTER the construction budget is set by the consultants. Separate line item.

Background: This study aimed to analyze the stage-situation depression and anxiety as well as independent influential factors in patients with postsurgical gastroparesis syndrome (PGS)and to provide dependent indications for treatment.
Patients and methods: The self-rating depression scale (SDS) and self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) were used to test the depression and anxiety of 53 patients with PGS, who were treated in the Department of Gastroenterological Surgery of Gansu Provincial Hospital from January 2012 to October 2016. A comparison between the SDS or SAS scores of patients with PGS and without PGS was undertaken; then, we retrospectively analyzed the factors influencing depression and anxiety in PGS patients.
Results: The patients with PGS' mean scores of depression and anxiety were 49.92±11.37 and 50.91±6.57, respectively, which were higher than that of patients without PGS in the Chinese population (P<0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the independent influential factors of depression and anxiety in patients with PGS included course of disease, pancreatic juice leakage, preoperative outflow tract obstruction, postoperative abdominal infection, and anastomotic complication (P<0.05). Patients with a disease course longer than 30 days; with pancreatic juice leakage; and who suffered from preoperative outflow tract obstruction, postoperative abdominal infection, and anastomotic complication had higher ratios of depression and anxiety.
Conclusion: Depression and anxiety are clearly evident in patients with PGS, and we should pay attention to this phenomenon and provide appropriate treatment.

MediaBizBlogger Shane Steele has recently joined Yahoo. Please read details below.
Last week I attended the iMedia Agency Summit in Austin, TX, where keynote speaker and Starcom CEO Lisa Donohue called for a "new optimism" in the post-recession era digital advertising industry. She offered a number of great suggestions for tackling the downturn and keeping pace with consumers, but also cautioned that we are suffering from a "talent crisis" in marketing.
Certainly if the media and advertising industry is going to fully recover and grow in the future we must invest in talent. That begs the question, where is the talent coming from, particularly with the skills and experience needed to keep up with the radical pace of change in the digital age?
One year ago I was invited to join the Board of Directors of a new digital education program called Boulder Digital Works (http://bdw.colorado.edu), a school with the ambition to produce the world's best digital creative, business, and technology talent. BDW was formed by the University of Colorado in partnership with MDC Partners, Microsoft, and a number of other companies to address what its founders saw as a pressing need for digital talent and leadership in their own businesses. Their goal – build a digital boot camp to groom educated workers and leaders who move comfortably and intelligently across the disciplines of technology, creative, and business.
Starcom's CEO and the BDW founders are not alone in their concern about the talent crisis, and the concern is not limited to the advertising community. According to talent advisory and recruiting firm Heidrick & Struggles, "There is a digital talent emergency in publishing companies as they transform into full-blown, digitally-oriented media companies," says Lynne Seid, Partner in the Global Consumer Marketing Practice. "With 4 million people expected to own iPads within the year – on top of tablet devices coming from HP, Dell, and others – there will be a major reconfiguration of what will be necessary to serve these users."
The introduction of new digital technologies will inevitably lead to the creation of jobs that haven't previously existed, with highly specialized skill requirements. But beyond these specialist type roles, the talent crisis is much broader. In fact, I would argue that all business talent needs to evolve by attaining a broad spectrum of digital skills, and more importantly a digital way of thinking.
At BDW they refer to this type of talent profile as "T-Shaped Talent," or an "Integrated Digital Thinker." It means that no matter what your specialty (base of the T), be it copywriting, media planning or flash design, in order to be most effective in the workplace today, employees must complement their subject matter expertise with a broad and holistic understanding of how digital technology impacts their business (top of the T). In other words, today's talent must be fluent in at least one language but also literate in many.
According to BDW Executive Director David Slayden, "There are only a few dedicated digital programs in the U.S., and while they offer excellent educational opportunities, they tend to focus on individual specialties, such as advertising, business, design, or technology. In real life — at leading advertising and digital agencies, start-ups, and software companies — business, creative, and technology people work in an integrated setting and are expected to be multi-disciplinary thinkers and problem solvers. BDW was born to meet this challenge through a broad-based educational program that covers the spectrum of digital disciplines and media." One year after its inception, to celebrate the school's anniversary and promote enrollment for upcoming programs (BDW offers both executive workshops and a 60 week program with enrollment happening now), BDW will be hosting an event during Internet Week on Monday June 7 in NYC. If you're interested in hearing about how you can evolve your own skills and think digitally, and how BDW can help, come check it out (details below). I'll be there to discuss how digital thinking has shaped my experience as a marketer, and the latest evolution of my own career: As of May 24, I have joined Yahoo! as VP Global B2B Marketing, so please note my contact info has changed.
Hear from Boulder Digital Works speakers and board members and find out how they are evolving their careers and their companies to stay relevant in the digital age, and how BDW can help in this role.
Shane Steele is a media and marketing executive with 15 years experience in digital media and brand marketing. She is currently Vice President, Global B2B Marketing at Yahoo! where she oversees global trade marketing communications and operations. Prior to joining Yahoo!, Shane was Vice President Marketing at Tremor Media, the leading video advertising network and monetization platform, where she headed up all marketing efforts for the company including branding, communications, pr, sales marketing, events, research, and product marketing. Before her role at Tremor Media, Shane was the Director of Emerging Media & Online Advertising at Coca-Cola where she oversaw interactive marketing for the Coca-Cola North America brand portfolio. In this role, Shane was also responsible for evaluating new technology and media partners across the evolving digital landscape to direct the company's innovation and research investments in emerging media areas such as social media, mobile, gaming, and advanced video platforms.

I played softball with his sister, Taylor. We were on the same team one year. And, while I was up to bat, Derek stood up and yelled "GO CREAM SOAD!" from then on he called me that. It was the most random, hilarious action I'd ever experienced while batting! Thanks, Derek, for always being able to say the most hilarious things over the years. Miss you, "Smerek.
Welcome. This is a blog page we never thought we'd have to create, but now we realize we need to. On Sunday, Feb. 28, 2016, Pittsburg High School Senior Derek Brumbaugh was killed in a car wreck on his way home from seeing the musical "Newsies" in Kansas City with PHS Junior Aspen Lloyd. Both were active in our theatre program and had just wrapped production of our all-school musical, "Shrek," the Sunday before. Aspen, thankfully, survived with injuries that someday will heal.
To help in the healing process over the loss of Derek, and to provide a central location for remembrances, we invite anyone who knew Derek or were touched by him in some way to share memories of your time together, photos or video clips from daily life or performances, or something funny or cool or important you remember him saying. Email them to us at dragondramaclub@gmail.com and we will then post them here.
We borrowed the title for our blog, by the way, from "Shrek," in which Derek, as the Fairytale Kingdom's beloved Pinocchio, leads them all in singing "Story of My Life."
In the beginning, please be patient with us as there is one student and one parent volunteer working to maintain this site and we likely will be flooded. It may take a day or so for what you send to appear.
It's our hope that, when they are ready, Derek's family and Aspen and her family, as well as Derek's many friends, can look through this to find comfort in knowing how many lives he touched.

Making political parties obsolete
By Manuel L. Quezon III
First Posted 02:35am (Mla time) 04/23/2007
MANILA,Philippines – We repeatedly hear that the political and every other condition of our country would improve if only we had strong parties with devoted, loyal followers, united by common aspirations and a well-developed ideology. I have always been puzzled by such views.
We have had strong parties with dedicated followers filled to the brim with aspirations and ideas that united them. The pre-war Nacionalistas, the post-war and pre-marital law Nacionalistas and Liberals, the KBL of the New Society and the LDP, Lakas and Kampi since Edsa, they have demonstrated party politics at their most organized, efficient and effective. These parties, even when their leaders had changed parties, were able to keep loyal followers.
The real problem, of course, is that those who pine for strong parties, meaning, parties built on principle, not on personality, are dissatisfied with the principle that our political parties represent – the principle that, in politics, the pork barrel and other forms of patronage, such as jobs, are the end-all and be-all of party life. This yearning willfully ignores two realities about politics anywhere and everywhere: personalities cannot be separated from issues; and politics sooner or later can end up bogged down by the need to reward supporters and punish competitors.
We're constantly told that those in politics are only after power and privilege for themselves and nothing else. This kind of self-defeating thinking ignores a basic attribute found in most, if not all, politicians, as well as in those who decide to embark on any kind of political involvement. That attribute is as basic to the human condition as ambition: it's the joy of the fixer, the deal-maker and the broker. A foreign journalist once told me how he was delighted by a Filipino congressman's explanation of his job: "I'm here," the politico said, "to help people, and I love it! It makes me rich, it enables me to be loved, it keeps me important."
The delight in wheeling and dealing, in getting people together so that person B's problems can be solved if only person C gets in touch with person A, is something that's felt, and sought, by people from all walks of life, be they investment bankers or social workers, or "barkers" who get people to ride on a certain jeep instead of the other, in the process getting a tip from the driver. The difference, of course, is that the banker makes millions, in the private sector, from being a fixer; the aid worker gets a psychic boost or a modest "thank-you" in the form of fruits or a chicken for helping the disadvantaged; and the politician obtains votes.
The problem, of course, is that aside from the aid worker and like-minded folk, most other people are out to make a living, and things get messy when a living is being made out of the public purse. Human nature is also such that people automatically assume everyone else – except themselves – is out to make a quick buck with as little work and dedication as possible, and this bias is strongest when it is directed on those after political power. (Why don't they get a real job?) As if politics isn't hard, tiring, sometimes thankless, work. Expensive, too, and potentially life-threatening.
The Romans tried to put forward Cincinnatus as an example of how to solve the "political trap" : politics as a career ends up corroding the morals and sound judgment of those who embark on it. Cincinnatus served only when he was needed, and would return to his farm as soon as he had done his part.
Our Constitution has this solution in mind by limiting presidents to a single term, and most other officials to a fixed number of terms. I often wonder if every official shouldn't be limited to only one fixed term, after which he and his relatives who have been in elective office should be barred from holding public office again. Combined with providing healthy salaries and limits on campaign spending, this prohibition would allow more people to serve in government and prevent making politics a permanent career choice for individuals and their families. But then this might be an extreme and impractical proposal.
How do you channel the desire of people – many people – to enter public life, with the goal of helping others, but without using it as a means of helping themselves to the detriment of others? One way might be to encourage the political involvement of NGOs, and the eventual extinction of political parties. Put another way, the political party, with its obsession with "jobs for the boys," the farming-out of contracts and dispensing the pork barrel; and with its penchant for ultimately gauging success or failure only by the number of officials it gets elected in each election, has to give way to something else.
That something else is what the NGOs are doing: working day in, day out on programs, with an advocacy that remains consistent because they have developed means for determining success and failure that aren't dependent on whether people like them or are willing to vote for them. Their mechanisms for accountability in terms of leadership and the handling of program funds, as well as in building long-lasting relationships with those they represent and try to help, are better-developed in many ways than those in our current political system.
However, the credibility of NGOs, after they get access to those in power, sink, because they try to come to grips with officials who operate according to an entirely different set of values, and who use methods with very different goals and measures of success. I've often heard, this results in a kind of political schizophrenia which drives civil society and politicians alike either mad or cynical and corrupt. But that's because the old political world won't die, and the new political world is still too weak to realize it holds the key to the future.

Nicholas was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1896 and studied portrait painting at the Budapest Academy of Fine Arts under Edouard Ballo; etching in Antwerp, Belgium; Paris; Vienna and Munich. He came to Toronto in 1929 where he remained active until his death in 1965.
He is best known for his colourful aquatint etchings of the rural scenery, buildings and streetscapes of Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes.
Hornyanski developed his own unique single-pull positive-approach aquatint process and also worked in watercolour, gouache and ink. He taught printmaking at the OCA and was president of the CPE. He was a member of many American art associations including the American Color Print Society in Philadelphia, and was also a Life Fellow of the International institute of Arts and Letters.
Hornyanski exhibited with the RCA and the AAM, and a retrospective of his work was held at the Tom Thomson Art Gallery in 1978. His work is represented it the collections of the Library of Congress in Washington, NGC, ROM and the Museum of Fine Art in Antwerp.

Rodrigo Amado - The Abstract Truth (European Echoes, 2009) ****½
It is not entirely clear to me what the title of "The Abstract Truth" refers to: a philosophical discussion on the nature of our thinking and knowledge of reality or a reference to Oliver Nelson's classic "The Blues And The Abstract Truth", with an implicit message that there is no blues to be found here? Why leave the blues away otherwise?
To be frank, I wouldn't know. What I do know is that the music is good, and soulful, bluesy even. And it is dedicated to Italian painter Giorgio De Chirico, a surrealist who is known for his deep perspectives, the use of classical mythological iconography, and static cityscapes. But again, the link to the music itself is not always apparent.
The trio consists of Rodrigo Amado on tenor and baritone, Kent Kessler on bass, Paal Nilssen-Love on drums, and after "Teatro", it is the second album of the trio. All eight tracks are freely improvised pieces, yet with a focused logic of their own. Amado is a great saxophonist, not necessarily in the traditional technical sense, but certainly in the musical sense: he can make his instrument sing, speak, tell a story, full of passion and emotion, yet equally full of surprise. The music holds the middle between expansiveness and intimacy, a rare quality and one that is also to be found in Amado's photography : a nice sense of contrast, clarity in the execution, broad themes, yet looked at from a very finite and unique human perspective. And a warm human perspective. Kessler and Nilssen-Love are excellent partners for his music, as usual rich in ideas, and also sensitive in the playing, only listen to the first track "Intro/The Red Tower" : a little capsule of their musical universe, with the arco bass building the tension, abstract sax phrases arise, the drums subtly creating a thundering backdrop and the sax gently and warm-toned introducing the tempo, with the drums picking up the rhythm and the bass switching to a boppish vamp, then the tempo changes again, slowing down, becoming bluesy. A little less than five minutes, but quite wealthy. And well, so is the rest of the album. Very much in the same style as their first album, yet slightly better on this album. Because the pieces are more compact: intimate expansiveness, grand in its finite limitations, universal in its all-too human reality. The blues and the abstract truth, dig?
Anyhow, as I've done before: here are the paintings of two titles of the tracks, bookending the album (it may be that other titles also refer to De Chirico's paintings, yet I didn't find them).

Hey, where can you get this record? I'm having trouble finding it.
It's just released. Possibly directly from Amado himself. European Echoes is his own label : mail@rodrigoamado.com. Or just have some patience before they're available in shops. Also in the past eMusic released his former CDs digitally.
Rodrigo Amado said...
Hi Stef,
Thanks for the beautiful text. The name of the record refers to total improvisation, one of the most truthful music disciplines, despite the fact that it can be totally abstract. A little like De Chirico's paintings, portraying concrete shapes and objects but feeling very much abstract and surrealist.
Until the international distribution reaches the stores, you can find the cd through mail order at:
Downtown Music Gallery
(www.downtownmusicgallery.com)
Trem Azul

Dear Stef and future readers, I'm writing on behalf of Mbari, Rodrigo's distributor. Contingent to each distributor's release plans, the CD will be made available through Forced Exposure in the US, Disk Union in Japan, Shellshock in the UK, VME in Scandinavia, etc. So stay tuned.

In the Indianapolis area, it is unique to find such a wide range of flora as observed in the Mud Creek Valley. The diversity of habitats and micro-habitats present, such as bottomland hardwood forests, wetlands, steep ravines cut by spring fed tributaries, rolling forested hills, and fertile forest floors, allow the valley to foster the growth of an amazing diversity of native tree, plant and wildflower species.
Many of the native plant species found in the Valley have persisted in our natural areas for thousands of years. While still home to a number of rare plants, many more sensitive species have certainly been lost to land conversion, development, contamination and the spread of invasive plants and pests over time. Our remaining native plant populations are facing the same threats today, perhaps more frequently and to a greater degree than ever before. By protecting, preserving, and restoring the natural areas of the Mud Creek Valley, we allow these plants as well as the insect and wildlife species that have evolved to depend on them, an opportunity to flourish and recover.
We view the health and welfare of these species as a key outcome of our land trust's work.
Below is just a sampling of the beautiful native plants and wildflowers that have been photographed and observed in the Mud Creek Valley.


Cigarette smoking is a leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States. Cigarette smoking significantly increases the risk of developing lung cancer, heart disease, chronic bronchitis, emphysema and other serious diseases and adverse health conditions. No tobacco product has been shown to be safe and without risks, and quitting tobacco use significantly reduces the risk for serious diseases. The health risks associated with cigarettes are significantly greater than those associated with the use of smoke-free tobacco and nicotine products.
Governments, public health officials, tobacco manufacturers & others can play a role in providing adult tobacco consumers with accurate information about the various health risks and comparative risks associated with the use of different tobacco and nicotine products.
R.J. Reynolds use of product ingredients is guided by the principle of achieving the desired taste characteristics by using the minimum amount of additives. R.J. Reynolds scientifically evaluates all proposed product ingredients and does not – and will not – use any ingredient if scientific evaluations indicate that it will increase the inherent toxicity of the tobacco product.
The commitment of R.J. Reynolds to harm reduction is stated clearly in our Guiding Principles and Beliefs: decreasing the health risks and harm directly associated with the use of tobacco products is in everyone's best interest.
Due to the breadth and depth of our research and development infrastructure, R.J. Reynolds continues to take the lead in applying rigorous scientific techniques to tobacco product harm reduction efforts.


After getting their fill of the fruitless SQL vs. NoSQL database debate, the founders of FoundationDB, out of the NoSQL camp, are buying Akiban, along with its SQL smarts.
The deal came out of partnership meetings between Vienna, Virg.-based FoundationDB and Akiban, one of Boston's hot database startups, a few months ago, said FoundationDB co-founder David Rosenthal.
"We were building a storage substrate, a core product for storing and scaling data, but were agnostic about the data model. Our ambition was to provide layers to run different data models. Akiban had this SQL engine and we knew we'd get into SQL some day," said Rosenthal. "They built their product around the same abstraction our substrate used. It was a fortuitous coming together," he said. Terms of that coming together were not disclosed.
"Akiban's unique SQL capabilities are directly applicable to distributed systems and the world of NoSQL because it operates on top of objects," said Akiban CEO Ori Hernnstadt, who along with the rest of the company's key technical people will stay on.
"This is not a 'yeah, yeah, yeah' partnership but a real coming together of NoSQL and SQL worlds," Rosenthal added.
The fact is, customers need both relational and non-relational, SQL and non-SQL capabilities. The combined Akiban and FoundationalDB will try to meet that demand.
Hmm… where have I seen this before? Oh yea… MySQL Cluster.


The Adani Group is confident that its $16.5-billion Australian mine project will start production by 2020 despite several banks declining to finance the project on the behest of activists who warned about the potential damage it could cause to the Great Barrier Reef and the continued spate of controversy surrounding the venture.
There are reports suggesting that the Adani Group tried hiding profits by setting up holding companies for Australian operations in tax havens. What are the implications of this?
There is absolutely no implication of this as everything that is being done in Australia or in India is transparent. We make regular filings to the tax offices and government authorities. This report is a desperate attempt by the activists who were not able to legally stall the project or get the government to do it. This is their last attempt to hurt the goodwill we enjoy, but we are going ahead with project as planned. We will be starting work in a couple of weeks.
What has been the government's attitude to the project, given that protests against it continue despite it getting necessary environmental approvals?
The government of Australia and India are positive about it. They are supportive because the project has been through the due process and has been tested -they are extremely comfortable. The Australian government understands that there's a negative lobby with vested interest which is against our project since they have faced them in other projects as well.
How and when do you plan to arrange for financing for the project given that many banks in the past have said they would not like to participate in the venture?
We intend to achieve financial closure by March. We need to tie up 4.2 billion Australian dollars for the mine and the railway project attached to it and the process is on.Discussions with the banks are on and that gives us confidence that we will be able to do the financing. The banks that were approached by activists were investment banks and not project finance banks. Activists are indulging in mudslinging but the fact is this project is strategic for Australia's nation building and India's energy security.
How relevant is the project for the Adani Group? Coal prices have fallen from the boom days in 2010 when the project was acquired. Is it still viable?
This is a `tier one' asset and the cost of production would be in the first quartile of the global producers. So, this mine will make money when the cycle is up and even when it is down. We continue to work on it even when coal prices fell below $50, which shows that our breakeven is even below that. If the project was not viable, activists would not be making noise. They are against it as it will open up opportunities. Right now, there are coal shipments from the US to Asian countries because the demand cannot be met locally.These protests are orchestrated by those with vested interest.
Are you looking at divestment opportunities in the project?
It is work-in-progress and we have a lot of options. We would look at divestment at the mine company and the port company level.We will carefully assess and prioritise. We have set some internal targets, but it is too early to talk about them.

Please Enjoy Justin Bieber Singing 'Sexual Healing' to Biola President Dr. Barry Corey
Watch SBC Pres. J.D. Greear Talk About If We Can Still Audibly Hear God's Voice
Somedays, we write the headlines. Somedays, they write themselves. Here's an instance of the latter, in which so many worlds collide into such an unlikely mashup that you can't help but wonder if the RELEVANT street team is out there artificially engineering these events just so we have something to write about. But nope, what you're seeing here is just a blessed collision of a global pop superstar, his new wife and Dr. Barry Corey, president of Biola University, who appears just as surprised this is happening as you are to be reading about it. (That is according to author and former Biola staffer Brett McCracken and several students):
.@TMZ captured "Random Guy" (@BiolaU's @PresidentCorey) and the Biebers sharing a moment in Beverly Hills last night… https://t.co/JHijoo3cJC
— Brett McCracken (@brettmccracken) January 3, 2019
Hey, @TheCut, this is Dr. Barry Corey, the president of my alma mater Biola University in La Mirada, CA. You can get any @biolau student or alum to confirm this, because they're currently freaking out on every social media platform. https://t.co/S5WxvYlA0t
— Nicole Foy (@nicoleMfoy) January 3, 2019
It looks like JB and Haley Baldwin were leaving a fancy hotel and Bieber was moved to break into "Sexual Healing," first serenading his wife (which makes sense) and then Dr. Corey (which …sure!). The video was picked up by TMZ who referred to the distinguished president of one of the nation's most revered private Christian universities as "a random guy."
Trailer: Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor Want to Save Their Marriage and Steal a Diamond During COVID
The Cut went one more, attempting to sleuth for themselves who Bieber's "mysterious 'Sexual Healing' Duet Partner' was. "It is this man I would like to know more about," marveled The Cut's Ella Cerón. And well, what do you want to know? He has a B.A. in English and biblical studies from Evangel College, and a Ph.D. in education from Boston College. He was a Fullbright scholar and is the author of 2016's Love Kindness: Discover the Power of a Forgotten Christian Virtue. He is a married father of three. This is admittedly getting sort of dully biographical but everyone is asking who this guy is, and now they know! It is, to iterate, the president of Biola University.
Nevertheless, there are still many questions that remain unanswered. For example, is this the first time Dr. Corey has been sung to by Justin Bieber? One would have to think so, but his effortless calm suggests that he is no celebrity serenade novice. Behold his supreme chill as he whips out his phone for a quick selfie like one channeling the spirit of Marvin Gaye himself. Also, note the ease with which he then manages a whole family photoshoot. As a father himself. Correy's is doubtless an experienced hand when it comes to these sorts of things, and let us hope he brings that same measured leadership to his professional life as an educator and administrator.
But again, this is all just conjecture. What we know for sure is that Justin Bieber sang "Sexual Healing" to Hailey Baldwin and Biola University's Dr. Barry Corey. 2019 is shaping up to be that kind of year.

Legato as a key contractor in the Belfast Welcome Centre project continued its role in the second phase, aptly named City Wide. This phase of the project involved the deployment of interactive self-service tourist information kiosks to key locations. These locations included the train, bus stations and airports. There are kiosks placed at many tourist hotspots too, including an Irish language version at An Chultúrlann. The interactive content on the kiosks allows the visitor to access the same information available in the Welcome Centre itself.
The newly arrived visitor literally has a wealth of tourism information at their fingertips. Not only that the kiosks allow the visitor to take that information away using email or Bluetooth directly to their phone.


Received items in gd condition but the items of the lipstick iscame in different color. So curious why .
AGREE:HOLOGRAM STICKER WILL BE REMOVED!!!
Received and try to compare to my previous original ( already left little bit only)which I got fr a shop. slightly lighter than my used. need to try few day to test. hopefully it moisturise and won't darken the lips!
Item looks good but not sure how good it is as this is for my wife use.
2nd order from the seller, so far so good. When I put it on, my lips turned to a glossy rosy healthy colour. I use it everyday instead of my regular lipstick becos I don't like the red lipstick mark on my cup and smashes all over sometimes.
Item received very fast, but feel so so only..
This is my 4th time order, well received with thanks for the quality of the item.Highly recommended.
Items received, nicely packed. Yet to try..Hope it work !
This lip gloss looks and feels authentic to me, and it's really effective. If you want natural pink lips from simply applying lip gloss, this is the solution quite fascinating.
May I know this item is from which Manufacturer or Place of origin?
Hi, what does hologram sticker removed means? Don't have the qr code?
H seller, It's already been one week since I ordered the lip balm but until now the lip balm has not been delivered and the status show that it hasn't been sent out. When can I receive the lip balm?
hi, may I know the expired date for the lip blam?

Something exciting is coming to Oldham Sixth Form College
Aimee Belmore May 28, 2021	No Comments collegeeducationoldhamoldham sixth form collegeOSFCrebrandroyton correspondentRoyton Newsshaw correspondentshaw news
AFTER almost 30 years of providing exceptional education to students, Oldham Sixth Form College is keeping its key purpose at heart as it undergoes a re-brand.
In 1992, OSFC opened its doors to its very first set of students and quickly became an established beacon of the community. A lot has changed since then but its purpose hasn't.
Over the years, the college has continued to invest in its facilities and educational offering, now sitting across four buildings at the heart of the borough's town centre.
Much like the college's physical presence, the education offered has evolved to continuously improve students' learning and experiences to match the demands of the modern world.
Now, in 2021, OSFC wants to reflect the amazing work it continues to do and drive it into a bold and exciting future with a fresh new look.
So, the college is undergoing a re-brand to reflect the innovative, forward-thinking organisation, help it stand out from the competition and engage prospective students.
Suzannah Reeves, Associate Principal, said: "We believe it's important to provide our students with exceptional education in a safe and supportive environment.
"We make it our mission every day to work on behalf of our students so they can go on to have successful and meaningful lives.
"It's this fundamental mission that has shaped and propelled everything we've achieved over the past 28 years.
"During 2020 when the coronavirus hit, communities were forced to slow, stop and reflect – and this included OSFC too.
"It brought to focus the importance of connection and belonging that the College supports for its community.
"We set out to re-brand OSFC to reflect the modern and ambitious college experience that so many students, parents and staff are an integral part of and have pride in.
"We also want the OSFC brand to mirror the exciting period of change and innovation taking place in Oldham and the North West."
OSFC is a proud member of The Pinnacle Learning Trust and as a local trust uses an understanding of the community and culture of high aspirations and strong academic performance to be a positive catalyst to improve the life chances of young people.
The Trust's ethos is built upon a desire to create extraordinary opportunities for staff and students. OSFC aims to significantly improve their chances to progress, achieve and go on to succeed in the lives and careers they want and deserve.
The new brand launch date is June 14, 2021 and they look forward to introducing you to the new OSFC. Same amazing college, new look.

As a result of responses on social media, the owner of the suspect trucking company called in and provided all required information to police.
The Fort St John RCMP would like to thank all who either discussed this incident on social media or called police to provide leads.
The Fort John RCMP are reaching out to the public to assist in identifying a transport truck that allegedly forced a local driver off the road on January 11th, 2019 near the Big Bam turn off near Taylor B.C.
The photo appears to depict a white semi-tractor with a wind deflector on top of the cab. The Sea Freight Container behind it is a bright green with a white picture or logo on it and possibly white lettering. The container had a round emblem in the centre on the back of it.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Fort St John RCMP at 250-787-8100.
On January 11, 2019 at 4:16 P.M. the Fort St John RCMP received a report of a vehicle that had been forced off the road by the Big Bam turnoff by an unknown tractor trailer unit.
The complainant advised they were behind a black Dodge 1500 (with the rear drivers side quarter panel window covered in plastic and duct tape) which was following the suspect vehicle, a Semi Tractor possibly pulling 1 or 2 fifty foot lighter green colored trailers with a red and white unidentified round logo centred on the back the trailer.
The victim followed the vehicles from Fort St John to Taylor on Highway 97. As the southbound trio exited the Taylor Bridge, the victim went into the slow lane and the semi and black Dodge truck stayed in the fast lane. They travelled toward the Big Bam turn off where the semi moved quickly into the slow lane forcing the victim vehicle, a burgundy Dodge 3500 into the path of the turn off area lamp standard.
The victim was able to avoid the lamp standard but continued straight into the ditch ahead causing extensive damage to the vehicle. The victim suffer non-life threatening injuries and was taken to hospital.
The suspect vehicle continued on without stopping. A witness who stopped at the scene advised the tractor trailer driver may have been on his cell phone at the time of the incident.

The cooking oil does not harm the dog (They actually enjoy the taste) but it does suffocate the mange mites.. Its not necessary to cover the whole dog in oil, a good coating on its back will do the job.. Just one important point.. Probably better to apply the oil at nighttime for soothing effect... The sun could possibly irritate the already sensitive skin..

Custodial History Created by the institution.
Biography The Polytechnic of Central London (PCL) was designated on 1 May 1970 as a result of the White Paper, 'A Plan for Polytechnics and Other Colleges' (Cmd 3006), published in 1966. This outlined the arrangements for implementing the government's policy for a dual system of higher education, divided by the binary line, first outlined by Anthony Crosland, Secretary of State for Education, in a speech at Woolwich Polytechnic in 1965. The polytechnics in the public sector would provide vocational, professional and industrially-based courses, some for degrees awarded by the Council of National Academic Awards (CNAA), some at sub-degree level, and some to provide a second chance for those who had missed the opportunity for further education on leaving school.
PCL was the result of a merger of Regent Street Polytechnic with Holborn College of Law, Languages and Commerce. The new institution was structured as a limited company, incorporated on 22 April 1970. The memorandum and articles of association (1970) defined the responsibilities and constitutional framework, including the powers of the Court of Governors and of the Academic Council. London polytechnics continued to be funded and to an extent managed by the Inner London Education Authority (ILEA). Degrees were awarded by the Council for National Academic Awards (CNAA) which both validated new courses and carried out a more general quinquennial review of institutions.
By 1970 the plan to turn Regent Street into a tri-partite federal college, first announced by the LCC in 1960, was finally implemented when the buildings on the two new sites at Marylebone Road and New Cavendish Street were finished. At a ceremony on 21 May 1971, Lord Hailsham, Lord Chancellor and grandson and namesake of the founder Quintin Hogg, combined opening the new buildings with the formal presentation of the Instrument of designation to PCL. Marylebone Road housed architecture, building, civil engineering, surveying and town planning, together with a separate block for management studies; electrical and electronic engineering, life sciences, mathematics and physics, and mechanical engineering moved to New Cavendish Street. In the early 1970s the extension building between Riding House Street and Little Titchfield Street was refurbished for the School of Communication, and Languages moved to a newly acquired building in Euston Centre in 1978. The Sidney Webb College of Education was amalgamated with PCL in 1975 and closed in 1980. In 1990 Harrow College of Higher Education merged with PCL.
Between 1970 and 1988 PCL expanded and developed to provide industrial, commercial, professional and scientific education, training and research for students at all levels of higher and technical education. By 1988 there were roughly 5,000 students on full-time and sandwich courses, the majority of whom were following CNAA degree and post-graduate courses; 6,000 students followed part-time and evening courses. PCL ran Europe's largest programme of short courses, with 17,000 people every year engaged in mid-career and personal development. Among a number of innovations was the development of one-year foundation programmes leading to degrees in engineering and science, which were subsequently adopted nationwide as a way of widening participation. Research activity increased. In 1988, PCL was awarded a total value of £3.2 million in external research awards (compared with £30,000 in 1970), although it was excluded from applying for the public research funding available to universities.
The Education Reform Act of 1988 removed polytechnics from the control of local authorities and transferred their funding to a new body, the Polytechnics and Colleges Funding Council (PCFC), which was itself replaced in 1992 when the Higher and Further Education Act created a single Higher Education Funding Council, abolishing the binary line by removing any remaining distinctions between polytechnics and universities. PCL became the University of Westminster in 1992.
In 1988 PCL celebrated the 150th anniversary of its predecessor, the Royal Polytechnic Institution, with a programme of special events. The Polytechnic Institute, representing the sports and social clubs characteristic of Regent Street Polytechnic, continued to function during this period, though its activities declined considerably as pressure for educational use in the buildings increased.

A decent bicycle! When Mamu Das was calculating the monthly expenses, she remembered her eight-year-old daughter's insistent plea — "Ma, please get me a good bicycle." The younger son also had his set of demands. Her husband is a small vendor selling gram and peanuts. She then remembered ASHA worker Anima Boro's words. Anima had sat with her for more than two hours and told her about the benefits of a small family. "You will be able to provide for your children if you don't have a huge family," told Anima.
Mamu Das was tired of juggling with the household expenses. She wanted to but the bicycle her daughter was asking for. Moreover, she was also tired to taking contraceptive pills from the time she was married at a young age of 16. "I decided to go for a tubectomy. Initially, I was apprehensive. But, ASHA baideo gave me courage," said Mamu.
Tubectomy is now a preferred option of birth control among women across communities. Women comprise 98 percent of the sterilised population; as men refrain from taking such measures. Tubal ligation or tubectomy is a surgical procedure for sterilisation in which a woman's fallopian tubes are clamped and blocked or severed and sealed, either of which prevents eggs from reaching the uterus for implantation.
Nazma Begum, 26 chose to have her fallopian tubes "tied after her second child was four years old. She was married off early by her widowed mother. She had her first child at the age of 16. After 2 years, got her second child. Till then she continued to have contraceptive pills. After four years of taking contraceptive pills, she decided to get a tubectomy done. "My mother spoke to the ASHA worker. The ASHA came and told me that there is nothing to fear. You will not have children anymore. My husband was reluctant but I was determined. He did not have a steady job and I could not afford to have any more babies," says Nazma.
She was not comfortable when she was taking contraceptive pills. Before that she used to take pills and used to feel drowsy and have vomiting tendency. "I feel that I have done a very good job. It's good for my health and my children's well-being. It's a big relief for me, otherwise I was constantly worried that I would get pregnant again. I tell many women that there is nothing to fear. Even if you cut you finger, you will hurt yourself. But this hurt will ease a lot of your pain," says Nazma.
There are many women who meet an ASHA worker only at a later stage when they are expecting a second or third child. For instance, Sapna Das, 19, of Fakirganj village in Dhubri district met Ujala Begum, a ASHA worker only when she was expecting her second child. Sapna says, "There were so many things that I did not know when my first child was born. There were so many things ASHA baideo told me like what to eat, what medicines to take and what precautions to take." Sapna also took a major decision at that time — the decision to opt for tubectomy. Her husband and in-laws were reluctant in the beginning as they had two daughters. They were hoping for a son. But Sapna was firm in her decision.
And more and more couples of the young generation are opting for smaller families. Padma Tanti, an ASHA worker of Noorbarie Tea Estate informs that increasingly couples approach her for advice after their second child. "They feel the burden with rising prices of things in the market. They want to do it but their only fear is the surgical procedure. I sit with them and try to assuage their fears," she says.
Sitting with her is her neighbour Bhanu Karmakar, who got a tubectomy done in 2009. Bhanu is 37. She studied till class 10 and works in the Anganwadi centre. She decided to go for tubectomy when she saw that her husband was refusing to get a vasectomy done. "After all, I have to go through all the pain. I was the one who was perpetually tensed that I might get pregnant. I ended my ordeal," she smiles. Bhanu is grateful to ASHA worker Padma for convincing her and making her life easier.
