text:
Joseph Haydn wrote sixty-eight string quartets. (The number was previously thought to be eighty-three, but this includes some arrangements and spurious works.) They are usually referred to by their opus numbers, not Anthony van Hoboken's catalogue numbers or their publication order in the First Haydn Edition (FHE).

Opus 1 (1762–64)
Quartet No. 1 in B major ("La Chasse"), Op. 1, No. 1, FHE No. 52, Hoboken No. III:1
Quartet No. 2 in E major, Op. 1, No. 2, FHE No. 53, Hoboken No. III:2

Quartet in B major, Op. 1, No. 5, FHE No. 56, Hoboken No. III:5 (later found to be the Symphony A, Hob. I/107)
Quartet No. 6 in C major, Op. 1, No. 6, FHE No. 57, Hoboken No. III:6

Opus 2 (1763–65)
The two quartets numbered 3 and 5 are spurious arrangements by an unknown hand.

Quartet No. 10 in B major, Op. 2, No. 6, FHE No. 63, Hoboken No. III:12

Opus 3 (spurious)

This set of quartets is now commonly attributed to Romanus Hoffstetter, though there is no universal agreement on this. According to the scholar Allan Badley, "The works were omitted from the Entwurf-Katalog, the running catalogue of his works he (Haydn) kept from 1765 until after the London visits, but found their way into the Haydn-Verzeichnis prepared in 1805 under the composer's direct supervision by his faithful factotum Joseph Elssler. Haydn also accepted the six works as genuine in the edition of his complete string quartets published by Ignaz Pleyel. Unfortunately, both strands of evidence are not beyond questioning." Badley goes on to say "The meagre bibliographical evidence has been painstakingly sifted and the works themselves subjected to every kind of analytical technique known to musicology. Haydn's authorship still remains doubtful but so too does that of Pater Romanus Hoffstetter the most commonly favoured alternative."

In the 1980s, Scott Fruehwald claimed to show that the quartets were not by Haydn, based on stylistic analysis.. He also concluded that only the first two quartets were by Hoffstetter.

Quartet in F major, Op. 3, No. 5, FHE No. 68 (spurious), Hoboken No. III:17

List by keys

Recordings of complete cycles

Multiple recordings of Haydn's complete string quartets have been made over the years. During the 1970s, the Aeolian Quartet recorded a complete cycle for Decca, which was then reissued in 2009. From 1994 to 1999, the Angeles Quartet recorded a cycle for Philips Records, which received critical reviews. During the 1990s, the Tátrai Quartet completed a cycle for Hungaroton. From 1989 to 2003, the Kodály Quartet recorded a cycle for Naxos Records, which is still considered by many musicologists and critics as the best cycle on the market. More recently, from 2002 to 2008, the Buchberger Quartet recorded a cycle for Brilliant Classics on period instruments.

This is a big post, chock full of fun! Not only is it Book Talk Thursday with a linky, but I am linking up with my friend Carla from Comprehension Connection for Thematic Thursday.
This week Thematic Thursday with Carla is all about penguins. I love penguins, so I was excited when she said this was the theme for this week. Though I am going to share some books in this part of the post, I am going to focus on one of the books for my Book Talk Thursday post.
For the actual post, I am going to focus on a perfect book for the younger crowd ~ preschool and kindergarten: Five Little Penguins Slipping on the Ice .
Have you ever sung the song or read the book Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed? Most of us have at some point, so this book is so much fun for the little ones this time of year. As a matter of fact, my three (almost 4) year old came home repeating the book and reminded me of the fun. And older students will also enjoy it as they remember the fun songs they sang during kindergarten. And I love the fun pictures in the book!
Kids will enjoy practicing counting backwards and subtraction with this fun book! I can't resist it either!
Remember that the month of January is a linky for Book Talk Thursday, so link up your post about a fun book and idea!
This week I am also giving away a copy of my Playful Penguins Unit on Carla's blog! Head on over and enter to win two different prize packs chock full of fun!
Thanks for linking up with me today Andrea and for promoting our giveaway. It's so funny how we all came up with different book ideas and activities. Have a great weekend.
Thanks for the book suggestion, we are doing winter animals and snow. This would be a great one to get for them to read!


When did St. Louis police union spokesman Jeff Roorda become a bad joke? Perhaps the final straw came in March, when Roorda appeared on CNN and told a visibly cringing Anderson Cooper that evidence of racial bias within Ferguson's police department was actually a "flimsy tortilla" intended to conceal the "meat" of Darren Wilson's innocence in Michael Brown's death. Say what? Although Roorda advocates blind trust in police, he himself has a strange history with law enforcement: In 2001, after serving as a cop in Arnold for more than a decade, Roorda was fired for making false statements and reports. He went on to build a reputation as a police apologist, opposing dash cameras, body cameras and civilian oversight boards. In the wake of Ferguson, Roorda became the face of a system that many St. Louisans want changed. With reforms on the horizon (like that civilian oversight board), we've got to ask: How's that flimsy tortilla tasting now, Roorda?

How Disney World Is Honoring Asian Pacific American Heritage Month
Home → How Disney World Is Honoring Asian Pacific American Heritage Month
Published: May 3, 2021 Updated: January 20, 2023
Similar to how Walt Disney World celebrated both Black History Month and Women's History Month, Disney World is honoring Asian Pacific American Heritage Month throughout May with a celebration called "A World of Voices, Honoring Asian Pacific American Heritage Month at Walt Disney World."
Here's what you can expect at the theme parks, Disney Springs, and Disney World Resort hotels.
Let's start with the theme parks and hotels.
Magic Kingdom: Guests can continue to see Mulan and Moana on the character cavalcades and at the train station. They'll continue to appear after the celebration, as well.
Epcot: Mulan will join the Princess Promenade around the World Showcase.
Hollywood Studios: Disney Junior character Mira (from Mira, Royal Detective) once again joins the Disney Junior Motorcade through the end of June.
Animal Kingdom: Starting in mid-May, there will be a Moana sand sculpture on Discovery Island and you can also draw Raya and the Last Dragon's Tuk Tuk and Moana's Pua at The Animation Experience at Conservation Station
Disney World Resort Hotels: Films that highlight AAPI communities and cultures will be shown during "Movies Under the Stars," like Big Hero 6, Moana, Mulan, and Lilo and Stitch. These will show on select nights each week.
Also at Epcot throughout May, you'll find a Red Bean Ice Float at the Lotus Blossom Café in the China pavilion.
This is a "classic dessert-drink originally popularized in Hong Kong and perfect for a snack or dessert at any time of day." It's made with sweetened Chinese red beans, milk, crushed ice, and vanilla ice cream.
You can also order Char Siu with Rice at Lotus Blossom Café, which is a staple of Chinese comfort food.
Per the Disney Parks Blog, "The dish is a Cantonese-style barbecue pork popularized in Hong Kong and in ethnic Chinese communities around the world, and now one of the best-known and most iconic items in Chinatown restaurants across the United States."
In the Japan pavilion, which shares Japanese culture year-round, there's a calligraphy demonstration held every Wednesday in May from 2 to 3 p.m. EST and 6 to 7 p.m. EST at the House of Good Fortune, which is spotlighting the history and significance of Chinese Calligraphy.
Disney Springs also has all kinds of celebrations, including highlighting Chef Jessi Sudsa-nguan, the Pastry Sous Chef at Amorette's Patisserie.
Chef Jessi is originally from Bangkok, Thailand and has been with Walt Disney World Resort for over 30 years. She's also crafted a special Jasmine Tea Cream Tart for the month, which is "a light dessert with fruit gelee and a butter and nut cookie crust."
You can also try the following limited-time sweet and savory menu items at Disney Springs:
Mulan Petit Cake at Amorette's Patisserie: Matcha chiffon, lemon chiffon, honey-ginger mousse, lemon curd, lemon-ginger streusel, and green tea simple syrup.
Matcha Yuzu Ganache Square at The Ganachery: Green tea and yuzu dark chocolate ganache.
Korean BBQ Fries at The Daily Poutine: Korean-style bulgogi pulled pork and kimchi topped with Sriracha aïoli piled high on French fries.
During the month of May, Morimoto Asia will have the following special dining menu:
Lomilomi: Salmon tartare with tomatoes, onions and scallions
Loco Moco: a traditional Hawaiian burger rice bowl made with a blend of filet and A5 wagyu topped with a sunny-side-up egg and teriyaki mushroom gravy
Saimin: a Hawaiian-style ramen with a dashi shrimp broth, thin noodles and roasted pork (available at Morimoto Asia Street Food)
Halo-Halo: a Filipino shaved ice dessert with flavored jellies and fresh fruit
Cocktails & Mocktails: Pair your dishes with a Morimoto Mai Tai, Japanese Old Fashioned, Toki Highball, or a Sago at Gulaman Mocktail
The Art of Disney is also spotlighting Asian Pacific American filmmakers, artists, authors, and screenwriters who work or have worked at the Walt Disney Animation Studios including: Qui Nguyen, Mohit Kallianpur, Fawn Veerasunthorn, Willie Ito, Gyo Fujikawa, Milton Quon, and Disney Legend Tyrus Wong.
If you shop at Basin in May, a portion of proceeds from their Eucalyptus Mint Soap will benefit the AAPI Community Fund.
You can also find the above art piece on the West Side outside of AMC Theatres that was inspired by Raya and the Last Dragon and designed by Walt Disney Imagineering Concept Designer, Xiao Qing Chen outside of AMC Theatres.
There are certainly many ways to honor Asian Pacific American Heritage Month all month-long and beyond at Disney World.

In spring 2013, the department surveyed 1,247 students from 43 high schools that were scientifically selected to represent all public high schools (excluding boarding schools, alternative schools, correspondence and home study schools, and correctional schools) in Alaska. These results are representative of Alaska's high school students grades 9-12 in traditional public high schools. At the same time and for the third time, 818 students from 16 alternative high schools (defined as serving high-risk students) in Alaska were surveyed to evaluate and address the health risks of this unique population.
The 2013 Alaska Youth Risk Behavior Survey Results are summarized in the presentations available below.


The Russian Air Force has being carrying out rehearsals ahead of the Victory Day military parade in Moscow. Twenty-eight planes are due to fly over Red Square on May 9 in a spectacular display that has been several months in the planning.
Russia's long-range fleet and top aerobatic teams have been refining their airborne skills. Practice sessions were carried out simultaneously at three different aerodromes in the Moscow and Kaluga regions.
The rehearsals will continue throughout the week.

Chuck Norris and his wife Gena made a YouTube video encouraging evangelical Christians to oust President Barack Obama, with Norris warning that the nation stands on the brink of "socialism or something much worse."
Gena Norris also quotes a 1964 speech by Ronald Reagan, saying that failed actions "will sentence (our children) to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness." Reagan gave the speech on behalf of then-presidential candidate Barry Goldwater, who went on to lose to Lyndon Johnson by one of the largest margins in history.
In the video, Norris warns that the nation "may be lost forever if we don't change the course our country is taking."
Norris also says "our great country and freedom are under attack," while Gena says that 30 million evangelical Christians failed to vote in 2008, resulting in Barack Obama winning the presidency by 10 million votes.
Norris is far from the only celebrity to interject himself into political discourse recently. Actor Clint Eastwood captured headlines by pretending an empty chair was President Obama at last week's Republican National Convention, and singer Ted Nugent has issued numerous controversial remarks about Obama in the past months.
Conventions are here, where are the celebs?


GameSpot: After several hours with Anthem, I can't say I'm particularly interested in it yet. I've completed some missions, upgraded my loadout, and gone on some more missions, but I'm not yet invested in anything I'm doing. I will, of course, keep playing, and I'll be posting a full review in the coming days. There's just nothing here so far that's driving me forward.
GamesRadar:Anthem is designed to grow and evolve over time, but unless that happens sooner rather than later it'll be dead on arrival.
Metro: We'll have a full review of Anthem in due time but at the moment it seems to be an internal struggle between its gameplay, its mission design and structure, and its corporate mission to become an ongoing service. We can only hope that at the end of the day it's gamers (and BioWare) that win out.
PC Gamer: If you can't tell, I'm not enjoying my time with Anthem. The combo system is a clever innovation that rewards teamwork and aggressive but smart use of my javelin's abilities, but that's about the only worthwhile thing I like about Anthem aside from it being gorgeous. I prefer my BioWare games to be ugly on the outside and beautiful on the inside.
There's a large roadblock in Anthem's campaign that more or less forces you to spend hours completing in-game challenges (get 50 kills with ult, find 20 treasure chests, rez 3 players, etc) before you can continue and I can't believe this game is what it is.
A que hora termina el embargo ?
Pues le estan dando bien, aunque algunos comentarios aseguran que con la planificacion post-lanzamiento se puedne subsanar esos errores, aunque debieron venir de serie.
Me hace gracia lo del dinero cuando lo único que es de pago en el juego se consigue a espuertas jugando.

South Korea Launches First-of-Class 3,000-ton KSS-III Diesel-Electric Attack Submarine
The first of nine domestically built 3,000-ton diesel-electric air independent propulsion subs was launched on September 14.

South Korea has launched the first of a planned fleet of nine 3,000-ton indigenously designed KSS-III (Jangbogo–III-class) diesel-electric attack submarines at the Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) shipyard on Geoje Island, near the port city of Busan in the southeastern part of South Korea, on September 14.
The launch ceremony of the first-of-class KSS-III, christened Dosan Ahn Chang-ho, was attended by South Korean President Moon Jae-in and other senior government and military officials. (Watch a video of the launching ceremony here). "Peace through strengths is the unwavering security policy our government is pursuing," Moon said. "Our path to peace will not end when accompanied by a strong military and strong defense."
Construction of the Dosan Ahn Chang-ho began in May 2016 with final assembly periodically delayed due to various technical issues and logistical problems. The first KSS-III submarine is expected to be handed over to the Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN) by the end of 2020 or early 2021 following at least 24 months of builder sea trials. Construction costs of each sub are estimated at around $ 900 million.
"The Dosan Ahn Chang-ho submarine is the Navy's first mid-class submarine and has been built with a combination of cutting-edge technologies," the ROK Navy said in a press release. "This is a national strategic weapons system capable of responding to all threats, and it will help strengthen the Navy's defense capabilities." As I explained last month:
The entire KSS-III class of subs will be produced in three batches. The first batch will include three boats, each fitted with six vertical missile tubes with the first two submarines to be assembled by DSME and the third to be built by South Korean shipbuilder Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI). The first three boats are expected to be operational by the early 2020s.
The next batch of three submarines, also fitted with a six-tube vertical launch system, is slated to be deployed by 2025, while the last three boats, reportedly boasting a displacement of over 3,500 tons and equipped with 10 vertical launch tubes each, will all be delivered to the ROKN by 2029. Each batch will reportedly see a gradual increase in the number of indigenous components used for the various sub-systems of the boats.
According to DSME, 76 percent of the submarine's component parts were made in South Korea. Notably, South Korea's Hanwha Group is supplying the sub's combat management system, whereas its weapon handling launch system (WHLS) is being supplied by UK defense contractor Babcock with the Spanish company INDRA selected to provide its electronic defense system (ESM) PEGASO. The KSS-III subs will all be fitted with indigenous sonar systems.
Furthermore, KSS-III subs will all be equipped with air-independent propulsion powered by lithium-ion battery technology developed and built by the Hanwha Group. In addition, the boats will also be fitted with the Korean Vertical Launch System for firing land-attack and anti-ship missiles.
KSS-III boats will be the first ROKN boats to have the capability to vertically launch ballistic or cruise missiles. The Ministry's Agency for Defense Development, or ADD, under the wing of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, has partnered up with South Korean defense contractor LIG Nex1 to design and produce a new submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) for the KSS-III class.
The new SLBM will likely be a variant of the Hyunmoo-2B or the Hyunmoo-2A. (KSS-III boats will also have the capability to fire Hyunmoo-3C cruise missiles.) As I reported elsewhere:
The Hyunmoo 2A surface-to-surface missile has an estimated range of 300 kilometers, whereas the more advanced Hyunmoo 2B — first test-fired in June 2015 — has an approximate maximum range of 500 kilometers (310 miles) and is capable of carrying a payload of up of up to 997 kilograms (2,200 pounds).
The Hyunmoo 3B and 3C surface-to-surface cruise missiles have an estimated range of 1000 and 1,500 kilometers (932 miles) respectively. While Hyunmoo cruise missiles have a higher accuracy, the destructive capability of the ballistic variant is substantially greater.
There are scarce additional details about the new SLBM. Among other things, it is unclear when it will be operationally deployed.
The new 3,000-ton KSS-III sub is 83.3-meter-long, 9.6-meter-wide, and can accommodate a crew of 50. It is capable of operating underwater without surfacing for up to 20 days. Its maximum underwater speed is estimated at 20 knots (37 kilometers per hour) with a maximum operational range of 10,000 nautical miles (18,520 kilometers). As I wrote elsewhere, the KSS-III class is part of the ROK Navy's three-phased Korean Attack Submarine construction program launched in the 1990s:
The first phase consisted of procuring nine 1,200-ton KSS-I Chang Bogo-class diesel-electric attack submarines – a variant of German Type 209 boats. The subs of the class are currently being retrofitted with air-independent propulsion and flank-array sonars. The second phase consists of procuring nine KSS-II Son Won II-class boats, a variant of the Type 214 submarine of Germany's Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft. The last sub of the KSS-II class was launched in September 2017.
Today's launch is but one indicator this week illustrating South Korea's emphasis on fielding more advanced anti-submarine warfare capabilities in the face of a purported growing threat posed by Korean People's Navy (KPN) subs. Yesterday, the Department of State also approved the possible sale of six U.S.-made Boeing P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft for an estimated cost of $2.1 billion.

Mr. Irrelevant Caleb Wilson presides over 'house divided' at Lowsman Banquet
By Matt SzaboStaff Writer
June 29, 2019 8:30 AM PT
The unofficial theme of Friday night's Lowsman Trophy Banquet was "a house divided," and it was easy to understand why.
Irrelevant Week creator Paul Salata, who attended Friday's banquet and is now 92 years old, played receiver at USC. For the first time, a Mr. Irrelevant came from rival UCLA in the form of tight end Caleb Wilson, who was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals with the 254th — last — pick in the seventh round.
The 44th annual Irrelevant Week, which celebrates the final pick in the NFL Draft, kicked off with the banquet at the Balboa Bay Resort in Newport Beach.
Spotlight coming for Mr. Irrelevant Caleb Wilson »
Even Wilson is a bit conflicted. He was a preferred walk-on at USC as a freshman before transferring to UCLA. But he definitely considers himself a Bruin now.
"We finally have a UCLA guy for Mr. Irrelevant," Lowsman Banquet emcee John Ireland, a Corona del Mar High graduate who also went to college in Westwood, told the crowd. "I've waited many years for this."
Wilson was roasted and celebrated by a variety of former Bruins and Trojans on Friday night, including former quarterbacks from each school, Paul MacDonald (USC) and John Sciarra (UCLA). Former NFL offensive tackle and actor Matt Willig, a longtime supporter of Irrelevant Week, gave Wilson some advice.
"Work your [behind] off," said Willig, who had a 14-year NFL career. "Always be the last guy on the field, ask the last question. It will help you."
Scott Altenberg, Wilson's former coach at Serra High in Gardena, had good things to say about his former player, who he converted from quarterback. In one of a variety of games played on stage and moderated by Ireland, a blindfolded Wilson had to throw miniature footballs into a bag held by Altenberg on stage.
Wilson hit the target on all 16 throws before being honored by his father Chris, and finally being presented the Lowsman Trophy by Sam "Bam" Cunningham, a fullback who was a member of USC's 1972 national championship team.
Wilson seemed to be enjoying himself. His mom Tina and sister Colby, who plays soccer at Eastern Washington University, are among 18 family members taking part in the Irrelevant Week festivities with Caleb.
Earlier Friday he got to meet his favorite basketball player, Kobe Bryant. The Irrelevant Week team set it up for Wilson to unknowingly attend a club basketball practice for Bryant's daughter Gianna at Sage Hill School. After the practice, Wilson got to meet the "Black Mamba."
"They hooked that up," Wilson said. "I guess they asked my mom who my favorite player was … it was awesome. I hooped in high school, I hooped in AAU growing up as a kid. Kobe Bryant was my favorite player growing up as a kid, so that was pretty neat to meet him."
Though Wilson went to both high school and college in Southern California, he moved around a lot as a kid since his father coached for several college football programs. Chris was the defensive line coach for the 2018 Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. Before that, he held the same position at USC.
Chris Wilson said that he is proud of his son and he believes that he can succeed in the NFL.
"He has worked his butt off," Chris Wilson said. "For him to be named Mr. Irrelevant, he's so relevant. Out of all of the guys that were eligible to be drafted, he was one out of 254 … He and I both know how hard this profession is, so for him to make the investment in it, I think it's huge. He went to three high schools, lived all over the country, and he gave himself the opportunity to get drafted. I think that's pretty major."
Former longtime college basketball coach and athletic director Stan Morrison received the "Hero Beyond the Hashmarks" Paul Salata award.
The idea of Irrelevant Week when Salata thought it up in the 1970s was to do something nice to someone for no reason at all. Wilson said he definitely plans to enjoy the rest of Irrelevant Week, which runs through Tuesday.
"Everybody in this room now roots for you," Ireland said before the evening concluded. "We're now going to watch Cardinals games because of you."

Well it won't be too long now before the snow is all gone, the grass green again, and the flags waving at the golf courses again. So it's time to dust off those clubs because spring is coming.
Today our Psalm should have been very familiar to most of you. Psalm 23 is a very important passage in the Bible that is essential to our faith. Psalm 23 is like that putter in your golf bag – it is essential to your golf game. That is of course unless you are really good at golf and never need to use your putter. But I don't think any of us are that good. For me I think my golf score would actually be better if I never had to putt. My golf game isn't good enough to eliminate the putter from my bag.
Psalm 23 is essential for daily life. When things go south in life, not if, this Psalm becomes essential. When we can't seem to see what's really going on, this Psalm is essential.
No matter how hard we try to avoid going through those dark valleys, because of the brokenness of this world, eventually we do go through some dark places. Parents divorce, loved ones battle cancer, those close to you struggle with chemical dependency, infertility issues arise, friends let current issues breakup years of friendship, and way too many children and adults wrestle with mental illness. Like I said, it's not a matter of if you will see a dark valley in your life – it is a matter of when that dark valley will occur. And just because you go through it once, doesn't mean that it can't happen again.
These parents who have this son who was blind since birth certainly had to have seen this dark valley – especially since at that time if there was anything wrong with you, you were considered unclean, an outcast. Plus if you associated yourself, and specifically toughed an unclean person, you too were to be considered unclean, an outcast. So these parents did what they needed to in order to help their son, but since at this time when Jesus heals him, he is of age, the parents are not willing to stand up for him or speak for him on his behalf. They simply say twice, "He is of age, ask him." How awful of a valley to walk through all those years, knowing that when your son gets older, he will be considered an outcast in society.
So the Psalmist says, "Even though I walk through the darkest valley…" Not even a slightly dark valley, or a partially dark valley, but the darkest valley… "I fear no evil; for you are with me…" I fear no evil, not because I read something on Google and the situation doesn't sound all that bad. Not because I can justify a friend's erratic behavior. And we certainly don't fear evil because we somehow think that if we just ignore the problem/the dark valley that it will just go away. No! We fear no evil because our God, the God who is our Shepherd and Lord, who doesn't make us lie down in a pile of manure, but he makes us lie down in green pastures; is also the one who promises to be with us always until the end of the age. We fear no evil as we go through the dark valleys of this life because our God is with us every step of the way.
So if you, your parents, or someone close to you is having marital issues – God is with you in the midst of that heartache. If you or a loved one is battling cancer – God is fighting alongside you or them. If someone close to you is struggling with chemical dependency, whether it be drugs, alcohol, pain medication, or something else – God is with them. If you or a friend is struggling with infertility issues – you are not alone, God still loves you and them, and if it is God's will, a baby will come in God's time.
My friends, the judgments need to end. Maybe you are part of the problem, maybe you aren't, but more people throughout the country keep leaving the church mostly because of the judgments that they are faced with when they enter the doors of the Lord's house on account of the dark valley that they are going through. Now certainly our God is one of judgment and promises that on the Last Day there will be a judgment period where He will be separating the sheep from the goats. But that's not our job, and I'm very grateful that this was not included in my job description. Instead we tell of this hope that we have because we don't meet and play around in the manure pile, but in the green pastures with still (not rough) waters. God wants the best for his children, not the worst.
Even in the midst of our dark valleys, the Psalmist says, "You [God] prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies." Our enemy is whatever dark valley we find ourselves walking through. Maybe it is a mental illness or addiction. Maybe it is cancer or some other illness. Maybe it is marital or friendship issues. No matter what the dark valley is, God sets the table anyway, anoints your head with oil, fills your cup until it is overflowing, and says, "I'm not going anywhere." In fact you shall dwell in the house of the Lord your whole life long.
We have lots of tools at our disposal, and there are many good passages in Scripture, but the minimal length and the richness of the imagery in Psalm 23 certainly makes these 6 verses your putter – an essential part of our daily lives as we put our trust in God alone to help get us through the dark valleys that we walk through. The Lord is your shepherd and He will lead you in right path so that you may dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Amen.

Opinion: Blessed be the peace maker
Vander Atwell
The more President Trump attempts to quell the murder and mayhem on the streets of America, the greater the civil unrest, the more he falls behind in the polls. The longer presidential candidate Biden stays sheltered in his basement, the better shielded against the embarrassment of his own cognizant shortcomings, the higher rises his polls. Can't get much more Bermuda Triangle than that. Or can we?
If Biden wins the presidency, we're faced with the irony that the man placed in office by Democrats offers the same questionable "capacity" of which they accused his predecessor in an attempt to force him from office.
It gets weirder: It is painfully obvious Biden's mental energies are not capable of the protocol and pressures of a head of state. Because of that, he is expected to be only a figurehead president; though his face, voice and eccentricities will be the etched image of the nation. Further, in a time of national crisis, the vice president will not be chosen by reason of qualification. Credentials, as they are commonly valued, will be a moot point. There are of course "credentials" that solicit special interests but in the day of COVID and public rioting ... the health safety and security of the entire nation is at stake and actual familiarity and expertise probably matters.
Meanwhile, rioting continues across the country as the "ship of state" drifts farther and farther from its mooring — Mayor of Chicago Lori Lightfoot, capitulating to cultural destructionists, has removed the statue of Columbus from public display; and in Seattle, "peaceful" Antifa protesters have pulled down a monument symbolic of our national sovereignty. A little late in the game, but the Christian community might take note. The first monument removed from the public square was the Ten Commandments.


text: Cop in Court After Fatal Double Shooting Off-duty offi cer kills her ex-girlfriend's partner in jealous rage BY BEN BRACHFELD An off-duty NYPD offi cer who shot two women on October 13, killing one as part of an apparent love triangle, appeared in court for the fi rst time on October 18 where she answered to a murder charge. Yvonne Wu, 31, of Staten Island, was charged with seconddegree murder and second-degree attempted murder in Brooklyn Criminal Court. She allegedly shot her ex-girlfriend Jenny Li, 23, at Li's Bensonhurst residence as well as her former lover's new paramour Jenny Liang, 24, using her department-issued gun. Liang died from her injuries, while Li was left in critical condition. Wu, a fi ve-year NYPD vet who works at the 72nd Precinct in Sunset Park, confessed to the rampage when cops arrived, and was arrested. She was taken to NYU Langone Hospital for a mental health evaluation. The state attorney general's offi ce is handling the case, as it considers the incident to be a policeinvolved shooting. Wu's attorney requested an additional mental health evaluation to determine if she is competent to stand trial, which was granted by Judge Joshua Glick, per the Attorney General's offi ce. She is being remanded without bail, and her next court appearance will be on November 19. Investigators believe Wu, who was off-duty at the time of the incident, may have been acting out of jealousy toward her former lover, with whom she had broken up just weeks prior. The Daily News reports that Wu was involved in an altercation with Li and Liang at least once in the weeks leading up to the murder.

In today's world, reliable data is the key to unlocking market share in any business – and the market for verified sustainable timber is no exception. Good data helps identify the best market areas and segments to target efforts to grow share and has the potential to increase overall transparency and trust in tropical timber. But, while there is general agreement that the European timber sector's shift to sustainability must be data driven, right now we don't have the high quality intelligence needed to determine the action required to generate market momentum.
That's why the 2018 European Sustainable Tropical Timber Coalition (STTC) Conference will be centered around the theme of market intelligence and increasing the sustainable tropical timber market share. Take part and you'll share and learn from the experience of companies, trade federations, governments and NGOs in both gathering data and using it to grow the market for verified sustainable tropical timber uptake. You'll also hear inspiring stories from the STTC participants' latest activities.
The STTC conference will also link to the ATIBT celebration of the first anniversary of the Fair and Precious communication program at the same venue on October 24. This communication program aims to give more visibility to the FSC® and PEFC certification schemes. Both events will also be excellent opportunities to network with buyers, suppliers and specifiers.
How to establish collaboration with market partners.
The conference will gather STTC partners and participants, representatives of the public sector, timber trade federations, timber traders, NGOs and other stakeholders.
The conference will be held in the beautiful Botanical Gardens in Paris. Online registration is open now and more information on the programme will follow soon.
We look forward to seeing you at the STTC Conference 2018!
The European Sustainable Tropical Timber Coalition (STTC) is an alliance of industry, business, government and NGOs dedicated to increasing European demand for sustainably sourced tropical timber. The coalition is convened and supported by IDH Sustainable Trade Initiative, and backed by a number of key partners, including the European Timber Trade Federation (ETTF), the International Tropical Timber Technical Association (ATIBT), the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). The STTC's aim is to strengthen demand for verified sustainable tropical timber, in order to incentivise the growth and spread of responsible forest management in tropical countries.


02.2016 - Combining the ALPA 12 FPS with modern CMOS backs like the new PhaseOne IQ3 100MP opens up new horizons in portrait photography: Due to the astonishing live-view focusing is very straight-forward, fast and reliable. The build in focal-plane-shutter of the ALPA 12 FPS allows it to use a huge variety of different lenses, from vintage gems to top-modern constructions.
For these photographs the ALPA 12 FPS was paired with a Carl Zeiss Contax 645 Sonnar T* 2.8/140mm originally developped for the famous CONTAX 645 line of medium format cameras. This "old glass" may not be 100% at eye level in terms of corner sharpness but still offers an incredible resolution mid-field. The combination of top corner-sharpness, the good correction of chromatical aberrations (both lateral und longitudinal) and not least the very pleasing bokeh makes this lens a perfect choice for portrait work.

SB Nation: 3rd (previously 1st)
You could probably flip the Rams and Chiefs and not matter too much. Sure, Patrick Mahomes and Jared Goff are young, but what they've done this season is enough to convince me. Goff did it against the Chiefs in one of the best games of the season so far. There's some recency bias given what Mahomes did on Sunday against the Ravens, but that was pretty damn impressive. I do worry about Andy Reid and clock management late in a game.
ESPN: 3rd (1st)
Top wish list item: A Super Bowl ring. OK, so technically, that wish can't be granted until February. But really, that's all this Rams team wants after an offseason that screamed "Super Bowl or bust" with the additions of All-Pros Aqib Talib, Marcus Peters and Ndamukong Suh, not to mention record-breaking paydays for Aaron Donald and Todd Gurley. The Rams have clinched the NFC West for a second consecutive season, and while they found plenty of enjoyment in that, their goal from the outset was to earn a date in February. Anything less than that stands the chance of getting re-gifted.
NFL: 3rd (2nd)
The denizens of the Twittersphere -- along with a few colleagues at NFL Network -- voiced their collective displeasure at the Rams not taking the No. 1 spot last week. Welp. Unlike when Los Angeles eked out a victory in Seattle, survived the Packers or outlasted the Chiefs, it could not escape Chicago with a win. Sean McVay's group was out of the top spot last week partially because it lost to the Saints in Week 9, with the other major factor being the Rams' spotty defensive play. But that wasn't the case on Sunday night, with Jared Goff and the offense unable to get anything going against the Bears. Goff fared miserably most of the evening, while running back Todd Gurley suffered through the biting cold and the bite of an immensely talented front seven. Time for the Rams to throw that game film in the toilet and gear up for a desperate Eagles team.
CBS: 3rd (1st)
They showed the offense could be stopped by a good defense against the Bears. They need to get it revved up again against the Eagles this week.
Yahoo!: 2nd (1st)
The difference between the top three teams is slight. You can make a strong argument for the Saints, Rams or Chiefs in the top spot. All of them had some bad moments on Sunday. Again, that happens in the NFL. Even though it's clear they're the top three teams, everyone is beatable. We saw that with the Bears beatdown of the Rams on Sunday night. The playoffs might get really crazy this season.
Pro Football Talk: 3rd (1st)
They should be very happy that this year's Super Bowl isn't being played outdoors in a cold-weather city.
USA Today: 2nd (1st)
Jared Goff reverted to dreadful rookie form. Todd Gurley was treated as afterthought. It was as if, for one ugly night, Jeff Fisher was back.


Federal Courts is a study of the powers of, and restraints upon, the federal judiciary, derived largely but not exclusively from Article III. Specific issues addressed include: the concept of judicial supremacy. the role of courts in a representative democracy; Article I tribunals; permissible congressional control of the original and appellate jurisdiction and remedial arsenal of the federal judiciary; abstention; sovereign immunity; and federal review of state court decisions.
This comprehensive Understanding Federal Courts and Jurisdiction treatise offers a coherent and complete overview of the complex constitutional principles and doctrines governing the federal judicial system. In a single volume, it provides a rich discussion of Article III of the United States Constitution, which governs the federal judiciary, and explains the role of Congress in regulating the federal courts' jurisdiction. After explaining the constitutional and statutory bases for federal jurisdiction, the treatise discusses the intricate case law on the statutory procedures relevant to litigating actions in federal courts. The treatise concludes with an exploration of the important federalism problems inherent in our dual system of courts, and the interrelationship of federal and state courts. Focusing on the relevant statutes and Supreme Court and appellate doctrine, Understanding Federal Courts and Jurisdiction covers all aspects of federal jurisdiction: justiciability, including standing, mootness, ripeness, and political questions; and the major types of federal jurisdiction, federal question and diversity, as well as the supplemental jurisdiction statute. The procedural portion of the treatise covers removal, venue, transfer of venue, personal jurisdiction in the federal courts, and multidistrict litigation. The federalism discussion includes a coherent review of the abstention doctrines, the Anti-Injunction Act, the Eleventh Amendment, the Erie doctrine, and intersystem preclusion. Understanding Federal Courts and Jurisdiction is ideal for students in the basic procedure course as well as upper division federal jurisdiction and practice courses. It also provides new and experienced federal practitioners with the basic principles and solid basis for further research.

The torus, or primary pattern, is an energy dynamic that looks like a doughnut – it's a continuous surface with a hole in it. The energy flows in through one end, circulates around the center and exits out the other side.
You can see it everywhere – in atoms, cells, seeds, flowers, trees, animals, humans, hurricanes, planets, suns, galaxies and even the cosmos as a whole.
Scientist and philosopher, Arthur Young, explained that a torus is the only energy pattern or dynamic that can sustain itself and is made out of the same substance as its surroundings – like a tornado, a smoke ring in the air, or a whirlpool in water.
The torus also applies at the human level. Each person not only is a torus – our bodies are a continuous surface (skin) with a hole through the middle (intestinal tract) – but we are each surrounded by our own toroidal electro-magnetic field.
Each individual's torus is distinct, but at the same time open and connected to every other in a continuous sea of infinite energy.


""Did that a while ago. Basically, they all say mid-notification. After speaking with the schools directly, it seems most are still processing Consortium (even if regular invites have been sent). What's unclear is what happens if you don't get an interview. Silence till March?""
What's unclear? Again, use the consortium website and each school for reference. If you don't receive an interview invite then perhaps you will be one of the few applicants that is admitted without an interview. However, this would be an unlikely scenario given that at most schools all admitted students are interviewed. Also each school does have an admissions notification deadline so on that date you will no for certain whether admitted or not.
In terms of when you're notified about dings/admits, it can vary by school but I don't think that the schools' timelines presented on their websites are applicable to Consortium applicants. We are on a different timeline because the membership/fellowship decisions are made by mid-March (i.e. the schools have made their decisions about Consortium applicants by then, whereas with normal applicants the decision could be made at a later date, depending on the school's notification deadline).
I think you might be right because a few schools said i have to interview by like 26th of Feb if i'm a Consortium applicant.
Again, each school has on their website that date of notification concerning admit, deny or I suppose waitlist. That is the only thing that we know for certain. No one on this board can state when interview invites will go out or what happens if you don't receive an interview invite. And yes the schools notification deadlines concerning admission are applicable to consortium applicants. Lastly, Membership/Fellowship decisions are separate from admissions decisions.
I am only speaking about the individual who was asking about "what happens if I don't receive an interview invite." The answer is no one on this board knows. However, we do know that each school has on their website when each applicant, including Consortium applicants, will be notified of an admissions decision. And of course the admissions decisions will be made before the membership/fellowship decisions since you can't get a fellowship if not admitted. One doesn't need to assume when admissions decisions are made since the information is on the each schools website. I applied to Tuck, UVA and Cornell which all have the notification deadlines on their websites. It seems the easiest thing for anyone to do is simply browse the school websites where they applied.
The main thing the HBS students that I've spoken to have said is to know your resume cold.
I got a Yale interview invite today at 5:20 pm PST! Don't give up hope! I'm a US applicant from CA.
I received my invite around that time as well. Very surprised, but I'll take it!
I haven't heard anything from Cornell and I interviewed at DivCo.
Tuck still hasn't reached out to you?! My app was released to the schools on 1/16 and Tuck sent me a confirmation on 2/3. I wonder if you should reach out to them as it has been some time especially in light of reported, I don't know the veracity, issues with the consortium application system.
Felicitaciones! Pero ven a Tuck si te admiten ah!
119maple They actually just reached out to me 5 min ago, application is now complete and have to wait till March... Did you get any sort of login info?
You're applying to Tuck and you're n the U.S., right? Why didn't you try to do a self-initiated interview?
Yeah, I am. I should have done a self-initiated interview but I ended up retaking my GMAT last minute so didn't have time. Hopefully if they like my application, they still decide to throw me an invite.


After meeting on I'm A Celebrity back in 2004, Katie Price and Peter Andre became the reality couple of the noughties.
Unfortunately, it wasn't to be and in 2009 the famous duo – who share kids Junior, 12, and Princess, 11, – broke hearts everywhere when they decided to call it quits.
But despite divorcing almost nine years ago, it looks like these two still aren't on the greatest terms, as KP has revealed she barely sees her ex hubby at all – and can only speak through a group chat with Pete's wife Emily.
'Apparently he won't text me without Emily being on it,' she told OK! magazine.
Opening up about their fractured relationship, the mum-of-five then went on: 'It's just weird when you were with someone for so many years and they're not the same person you thought and your relationship's different.
It comes after Katie also opened up about her own relationship with husband Kieran Hayler.
Despite announcing plans to divorce back in August – after Kieran allegedly had a one-year affair with their kids' nanny (something which she denies) – Pricey revealed the couple are still living together so he can sort through his 'deeper issues'.
'I'm sick to death of having to justify myself,' she told OK! magazine. 'People are always speculating about whether we're together or not, and yes, he's obviously in the house.

Board OKs extra funds for football project
By TONY STINNETT, Courier Sports Editor
Cannon County Board of Education members unanimously voted to approve additional funding to complete the restroom project at the CCHS football field during its regular monthly at Woodbury Grammar School Thursday (July 10).
The only snag is CCHS Principal Mike Jones will have to wait until after the 2014-15 budget is approved by the Cannon County Commission to get the additional $4,568. Board members had originally approved $8,000 for the project in June.
During new business, Chairman Randy Gannon asked CCHS Principal Mike Jones for an update on the project that has generated much discussion in recent weeks. Jones informed Board members there has been progress but said he would be about $4,568 short of what was needed for completion.
"So if someone were to make a motion to approve $4,568 more that should be it?" Gannon asked.
"I would be ecstatic," Jones said.
"But that would be it?" Board member Nathan Sanders followed.
"I will not ask you for another penny (for this project)," Jones said.
Board member Bruce Daniel made the motion to approve and Gannon seconded. Gannon said it was unfair to ask elderly and handicapped people attending football games to walk from the field area to the CCHS gym to use a handicap accessible restroom.
Prior to the vote there was discussion as to when the funds would become available. Discussion stemmed from the fact this is a new item that was not budgeted so it would have to come out of next year's fiscal budget even if the funding was available in the current budget.
Director of Schools Barbara Parker informed Board members that Douglas Jennings had been in touch with the auditor.
"These funds are contingent upon the County Commission approving the budget," Jennings said.
Parker explained the current budget closed June 30.
"Until the County Commission approves our new budget we are operating in a continuing budget and this is not a regular maintenance item," Parker said. "You can't spend the money until the County Commission approves the 2014-15 budget. You can not commit new money until the budget approved."
The additional funding would become available after July 29 if the final budget is approved.
After more discussion Daniel changed his motion to include the funding would come from next year's budget. Gannon again seconded. Roy Parker and Sanders voted in favor.
The project will add permanent handicap accessible restrooms to the concession area. Port-a-johns had been used the previous two years after the existing restrooms had sustained damage.
Andy Duggin approached the Board regarding the mishandling of monies from a school fundraiser.
Duggin said money had been stolen from the football fieldhouse more than one week after the fundraiser took place. He questioned how much money was stolen and why it was left in the fieldhouse for such a lengthy period without being deposited into the school's general fund.
"On (May 3) the young men in our football program competed in a weightlifting event and money was raised through private contributions," Duggin said. "No report was made on the amount of money collected and no deposit was made into the general fund. On May 14, a police report was filed stating money had been stolen from a desk in the fieldhouse. No amount was on the report because the money included cash and checks that had not been counted."
Jones said he has been working with SRO Travis Turney and the case is ongoing. He reported "somewhere in the neighborhood of $4,000," had been stolen from a desk in Head Coach T.J. Daniel's office.
"We have receipts for all of the money," Jones said. "We know how much money was in there. What we didn't know was how much was checks and how much was cash. (Daniel) had receipts for all of the money."
Jones said Daniel had gone to make the deposit May 11 but bookkeeper Joyce Taylor had already left for the day.
Director Parker explained that policy had been followed.
"As far as the time limit (money) should have been turned in immediately and then the bookkeeper is the one who has the timeframe to get it to the bank and deposited," Parker said. "There are a lot of fundraisers, such as senior magazine sales, where students sell magazines for weeks and they hold those checks for weeks but turn them in at one time. Once it is turned in to the school then the bookkeeper is the one with the time frame of getting to the bank."
Jones explained that the alleged robbers entered the fieldhouse through a back door and came through the ceiling. Jones said it was "obvious" they knew the layout of the facility. The building was secured, he said. The money was in a desk drawer locked inside Daniel's office but the desk itself did not lock.
Duggin said he wasn't inquiring about the robbery.
"Everything you are talking about is after the fact," Duggin said. "I am not asking how the fieldhouse got broken into. I am not asking how the money got stolen. We all know that. What I am asking is why so many days passed for before any of that money was turned in. This money was left sitting around for 10 days in a desk drawer. I am not saying (Coach Daniel) took the money. I would trust him with my own money, but I feel like putting it in a desk drawer is a very irresponsible way of handling the money."
Because the case remains open Duggin was told the agenda item could be revisited once the police report was available and more details become available.
The Board unanimously approved Kasey McGee's request for a zone transfer from Woodland to Woodbury Grammar for her son, who will be attending kindergarten. McGee is a guidance counselor at CCHS and her husband works second shift.
"I have nothing against Woodland or anyone out there," McGee told Board members. It is just a logistics issue. If we have a faculty meeting or something comes up I have to be at the high school. My husband works second shift. There is no other family to help so that's the reason for the request."
The Board voted 4-0 to approve the request since the transfer would not create an overcrowding issue at Woodbury Grammar.
The Board also approved Auburn Principal Melinda Crook's request for a new copier purchase at the school.
Board members will conduct a policy workshop at Central Office, July 22. The next regular Board Meeting Workshop will be at Central Office Aug. 12 at 6:30 p.m., and the next regular Board Meeting will be at Woodbury Grammar School, Aug. 14 at 6:30 p.m.

Even after that it faces some difficulties due to hierarchical problem, inter-departmental conflict, no in-house production house, lack of employee commitment, lack of in-house resources etc. The report presents the client servicing department's role on building up relationship with the clients, the effort they put and the activities they perform. There were some scopes of improvement for the Client Servicing Department. To come to a solution for the company I have also reviewed the literatures from past and present to draw a framework that I followed for preparing this report. Finally, I have concluded the findings of this report in such a manner that can help the organization to improve their client servicing approach.

Is this person the right man for me? Should I stay in this relationship or should I go? Is he being faithful?
I have been dating this man for two years. He stays at my house Sunday thru Thursday and then the other days we stay at his apt. I was pregnant from him and lost the baby. I have two children already and he has none currently. He was married before for 11 years and he walked away from his wife because he said she cheated and didnt give him any children. We have discussed getting married, but first giving me an engagement ring before I have any children from him. He says that he wants to be a family but his actions say different. He always looks at other woman when we are out. I snoop on his cell phone and I see other woman calling and sending him text messages. He is 47 years old and i didnt expect this kind of behavior from him. Its really disappointing because I had so much hope for us. He comes home everynight but that still doesnt mean that he is 100% faithful. I have a hot meal ready for him evernight when he comes home from work. I take care of his overall well being. More than he does for me. Im taking care of two children and him but forgetting about myself. I dont feel appreciated at all I feel like I am being used. I dont feel safe and secure in this relationship. I am confused on what I should do. Please help me to try to figure this out.
