It's Lil Baby's Birthday!
By papa keith Dec 3, 2021
Today is Lil Baby's Birthday!
He rose to fame in 2017 following the release of his mixtape Perfect Timing.
His debut album Harder Than Ever was certified Platinum and included the song "Yes Indeed" (with Drake), which peaked at six on the Billboard Hot 100.
He went on to release two more mixtapes, with Drip Harder and Street Gossip, and his most popular song "Drip Too Hard", which peaked at number four on the Hot 100.
Lil Baby's second album, My Turn hit number one on the Billboard 200 and has gone 3 times platinum. The song "We Paid" (with 42 Dugg) charted at number ten on the Hot 100, and in recognition of BLM he released the single "The Bigger Picture." It peaked at number three on the Hot 100, and in 2021, Lil Baby and Lil Durk released The Voice of the Heroes, which became his second number one project on the Billboard 200.
Lil Baby has been nominated for three Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, two MTV Video Music Awards, and seven BET Awards, and was crowned as the biggest all-genre 'Artist of the Year' at the Apple Music Awards in 2020.

Early Years Pupil Premium is a Government fund given to schools for eligible pupils, to ensure that all children have an equal opportunity to learn and succeed. Nursery Schools are given additional funding for each eligible pupil. The Government believes that the Pupil Premium, which is additional to main school funding, is the best way to address the current underlying inequalities between children eligible for free school meals (FSM) and their peers.
Hilltoppers Nursery is committed to equality of opportunity for all children, regardless of socio-economic background. We want to help all pupils make rapid and sustained progress and achieve as much as possible during their time at the nursery. The pupil premium grant helps us to do this by awarding the school this additional funding which can be used in a variety of ways to ensure that no child is disadvantaged because of economic circumstances.
What is Early Years Pupil Premium used for at Hilltoppers Nursery?
This extra funding allows us to provide additional staff and resources, bringing learning benefits to eligible pupils as well as all children throughout the setting.
Please complete an application form and return to the nursery office as soon as possible if you think your child may be eligible for Early Years Pupil Premium.
For the academic years 2017-18 and 2018-19, Hilltoppers Nursery did not receive any Early Years Pupil Premium funding.
How the information in the form will be used?
We are committed to ensuring that the personal and sensitive information that we hold about you is protected and kept safe and secure, and we have measures in place to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information. We will use the information you provide to assess entitlement to the Early Years Pupil Premium. The information will be shared with other council departments to offer benefits and services.

The E.J. Whitten Foundation Charity Race Night is a fantastic summer event raising funds and awareness for cancer research and treatment.
The 2018 Browns Sawdust & Shavings & Hallam Truck Centre charity golf day is being held at Sandhurst Golf Club, Clubhouse Lane, Sandhurst on the 16th November 2018.
To mark the beginning of Men's Health Week, the EJ Whitten Foundation and Epworth HealthCare announced the establishment of the EJ Whitten Foundation Prostate Cancer Research Centre at Epworth – a new centre dedicated to improving treatment for men diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer is recognised as the leading cancer in men and the third-ranking cause of cancer death for men.
THE E.J. WHITTEN FOUNDATION PROUDLY SUPPORTS "THE DAD CONFERENCE".
Dads are awesome. They have the power to dramatically influence those closest to them. Whether it's their wife or partner, children, other family members or even work colleagues, dads have a way about them that can inspire and motivate people to move and grow.
At 'The Dad Conference' we believe that when you mix a room full of dads with highly qualified experts who are willing to share their knowledge in a supportive and open environment, dads and their loved ones can experience incredible and positive change in their lives.
On February 25, 'The Dad Conference' will be held at Deakin University in Burwood. Six amazing speakers will share their knowledge and understanding of topics that directly affect dads on a daily basis. The dads in the room will be encouraged to take notes, and identify strategies and tips they can plug into their own lives to make positive change a reality for themselves and their loved ones.
Plus, 10% of all profits will be donated to the E.J Whitten Foundation to help with prostate cancer research and awareness, and other men's health initiatives. Not only will the dads who attend get so much out of the event personally, but they will be actively supporting a charity relative to them.
WHAT DOES 'THE DAD CONFERENCE' LOOK LIKE?
Dr Michael Carr-Gregg is the founder of CanTeen, and one of Australia's most respected psychologists, specialising in parenting, children and adolescents. He will talk about parenting teenage boys in his presentation called 'The Prince Boofhead Syndrome'.
Craig Harper is one of Australia's leading presenters in the areas of health, high-performance and personal transformation. He will share his thoughts on how to create a high-performing life.
Chris Helder shares his thoughts on belief systems and how they can help you achieve your goals. Chris believes that 'positive thinking' is a waste of time, and 'useful thinking' is a much better way achieve your goals.
Danny 'Spud' Frawley, former star St Kilda fullback and Richmond Head Coach, shares his intimate story about battling depression, anxiety and overcoming a nervous breakdown.
Mark Bunn, former Hawthorn footballer, is one of Australasia's leading experts on health and personal performance. He'll share with you the daily habits of healthy high-achieving people.
The knowledge and information dads will take away from these speakers at this event will have an amazing impact on their lives.

Real Madrid decision on Odegaard future this week
By Colin Millar - 10 August 2020, 11:46
Real Madrid are expected to make a decision on the future of Martin Odegaard this week, according to a report in Marca.
The Norwegian spent last season on loan at Real Sociedad and the clubs had an agreement in place that the arrangement would last for two seasons.
It is however claimed that officials at Los Blancos would be keen to see the midfielder return to the first-team squad ahead of next campaign, despite a reported agreement between club presidents Florentino Perez and Jokin Apperibay that this would not be the case.
Odegaard netted seven goals for the Basque club last season, but the player still must activate the second year of that deal due to La Liga stipulations on loan agreements.
His future is said to be linked in to that of Luka Modric in the first-team squad in the Spanish capital, with Odegaard tipped to be the Croatian's successor in the starting XI.

Retro refrigerator "Made by Champions" donated
At today's press conference held at the Velenje Gallery which has hosted the "Gorenje with a Vision" exhibition since the start of this summer, the handball club Gorenje Velenje presented the expectations and goals for the new season of the national championship which starts tomorrow. Targets and expectations were also discussed by the team's new members Darko Cingesar, Mitja Nosan, and Luka Dobelšek. They wrapped up the conference by donating a Gorenje retro refrigerator "Made by Champions" which was manufactured with the help of the handball players.
This year's kick-off press conference of the Gorenje Velenje handball club started and ended on a different note as usual – if nothing else, because it was set at the Velenje Gallery. Members of the press, handball players, and club management first took a tour of the exhibition "Gorenje with a Vision", a joint effort by the institute Maribor ECOC 2012, Velenje Gallery, and Gorenje, and a part of the network project "Wow, industry". The exhibition presents the creativity of Gorenje's manufacturing through time, manifest in direct visual communication between the consumers and the industrial design, marketing communication, and visual identity of the company. Presentation of expectations and goals for the new season was concluded by donation of a Gorenje Retro refrigerator "Made by Champions" which was manufactured in May this year with the help of the handball players after they had won the national championship title, during their tour of the Velenje shop floor.
The club's general manager Tomaž Juršič, coach Branko Tamše, team captain Marko Bezjak, and all newly signed players Darko Cingesar, Mitja Nosan, and Luka Dobelšek, said that their goal was to stay where they left off last year, i.e. to defend the title of the national champion. Coach Branko Tamše also explained that »the title is harder to defend than to chase, as every game is a chapter unto itself. One can get burned easily, and we do not want such burns.« Their goals this year include a high ranking in the Champions League.
Luka Dobelšek, returning to the team after four years, commented: »I am back where I have seen my best years of competition. I have not yet won a national championship title with Gorenje and I am excited about the prospects to do so this year.«

Abstract: In input-driven automata the input alphabet is divided into distinct classes and different actions on the storage medium are solely governed by the input symbols. For example, in input-driven pushdown automata (IDPDA) there are three distinct classes of input symbols determining the action of pushing, popping, or doing nothing on the pushdown store. Here, input-driven automata are extended in such a way that the input is preprocessed by a deterministic sequential transducer. IDPDAs extended in this way are called tinput-driven pushdown automata (TDPDA) and it turns out that TDPDAs are more powerful than IDPDAs but still not as powerful as real-time deterministic pushdown automata. Nevertheless, even this stronger model has still good closure and decidability properties. In detail, it is shown that TDPDAs are closed under the Boolean operations union, intersection, and complementation. Furthermore, decidability procedures for the inclusion problem as well as for the questions of whether a given automaton is a TDPDA or an IDPDA are developed. Additionally, representation theorems for the context-free languages using IDPDAs and TDPDAs are established. Two other classes investigated are on the one hand TDPDAs restricted to tinput-driven counter automata and on the other hand TDPDAs generalized to tinput-driven stack automata. In both cases, it is possible to preserve the good closure and decidability properties of TDPDAs, namely, the closure under the Boolean operations as well as the decidability of the inclusion problem.

The Dwyer Group Franchise Sells for $150 Million
The Franchise Industry provides businesses with strong ROI opportunities if developed and grown correctly. The Dwyer Group, which is one of the strongest organizations in the service industry today, has just sold to a private equity group for $150 million. This represents a return on investment of three times the start-up for the business.
Franchising has the capability to put together these kinds of returns through the highly leveraged system of expansion.
After seven years of ownership, The Riverside Co. has announced that it is selling The Dwyer Group, a platform of seven franchise residential services businesses, to New York-based buyout firm TZP Group for roughly $150 million.
The deal earns Riverside a return of around three times gross cash on cash, according to Riverside Principal Chip Walker. Madison Capital provided senior financing for TZP.
Waco, Texas-based Dwyer provides residential and commercial cleaning and maintenance services under brands that include Aire Serv, Glass Doctor, The Grounds Guys, Mr. Appliance, Mr. Electric, Mr. Rooter and Rainbow International. The company also owns and operates 37 glass shops in New England under the Portland Glass brand name.
TZP and Dwyer were not immediately available to comment at press time. News of the exit will also appear in LBOWire, a daily newsletter published by Dow Jones.
Riverside took the company private in 2003 in a deal worth $54.5 million, investing more than half of that in equity, according to Walker. Madison and Babson Capital provided senior and mezzanine financing, respectively, on that deal. Dwyer had an active lead generation effort, but as a public company was wary of incurring the costs of expanding its sales force; Riverside in turn added infrastructure, aggressively hiring a sales team as one of its early initiatives, Walker said.
The platform had six businesses at the time of its buyout and shortly after, Dwyer did an add-on, buying Harmon Auto Glass in early 2004. That business folded into Glass Doctor. Ebitda's growth during the seven years that Riverside held the company was around 13% year on year, Walker added. In March the firm got in touch with Harris Williams & Co. to shop the company, which officially went to market in August. All potential buyers in the final rounds of bids were financials, given the heavily franchised model of the company.
Dwyer was the firm investment from the 2003 Riverside Capital Appreciation Fund LP, which closed in 2004 at $750 million. TZP Group targets investments between $20 million and $50 million in companies with enterprise values generally up to $200 million. The firm focuses on business and consumer services niches like franchising, outsourced business and IT services, marketing and media services, travel content and distribution and consumer health services.
Harris Williams & Co. advised Riverside on the sale. Jones Day provided legal counsel.

The Lake District and Cumbria are home to some of the best scenery and visitor attractions in the country. In the North East Lakes, this includes the beautiful lake and surroundings of Ullswater, the popular villages of Pooley Bridge and Glenridding, the peaceful Lowther valley and the remote Caldbeck area.
There are various bus and boat services through the area which will transport you to all of the popular attractions described below. Each attraction includes a brief description, photograph, link to website (where available) and any facilities such as shops, cafes and toilets. Public transport services that stop nearby (within 1 mile) are listed and the location of each stop in relation to the attraction is described. Further information on each transport service, including timetable, approximate route and other attractions visited on route, can be found by following the mode link.
Pooley Bridge is a busy tourist village located at the northern end of Ullswater lake. There are a few shops, pubs and cafes although there isn't much else to see in the village itself. The area is popular with campers and caravaners who come from the many nearby sites. There are some good walks in the area but the main attraction are the Ullswater Steamers which can be caught from the nearby pier. Regular boats travel up the magnificent lake calling at Howtown and Glenridding.
There are toilets and various facilities in the village where you will also find the bus stop. Buses also stop at the Ullswater Steamers pier which is approx 0.3 miles from the village centre.
Glenridding is a small village in a fabulous setting between the lake and the high hills behind. It was originally famous for lead mining but has now been taken over by the tourists. There are a few small gift shops, tea rooms and bars. The Inn on the Lake hotel and bar provides refreshments with great views.
Buses stop in the village centre where there is a Tourist Information Centre and toilet facilities.
The picturesque and historic village of Caldbeck is the most northerly village in the Lake District National Park and one of the most remote. There are a number of attractions for visitors which are worth some exploring. Around the village centre you will find the attractive St Kentigern's church and next door is Priest's Mill, a former cornmill which has been well restored with original features, a craft shop, The Watermill Cafe and picnic area overlooking the river.
Following the river upstream from the Mill, a short walk leads to The Howk, an impressive limestone gorge containing a picturesque waterfall and an old Bobbin Mill ruin. Along the way you will also pass the large village green and pond which provides a pleasant place to stroll and relax. Refreshments can also be obtained at the village shop, the Oddfellows Arms pub and The Old Smithy Tea Room. Public toilets in the village.
Buses stop in the village centre.
From Pooley Bridge village centre, a pleasant 0.2 mile walk brings you to the shores of Ullswater lake at the outflow of the River Eamont. There are lovely views up the lake and you can hire a boat at Lakeland Boat Hire. The footpath also continues along the lake shore. Facilities can be found back in the village.
The pier for the Ullswater Steamers is on the other side of the river, over the road bridge in the village. Regular boats travel up the magnificent lake calling at Howtown and Glenridding.
Buses stop in the village centre and at the Ullswater Steamers pier.
Aira Force is probably the most famous waterfall in the Lake District and at 65ft high, one of the tallest. From the car park there are various paths leading up to the waterfall viewing areas and beyond. The views from the bridges at the top and bottom of the waterfall are impressive. It is only a short walk but the paths are steep and uneven in places. There is also a tea room and toilet facilities at the car park. Free entry to waterfalls.
Buses stop near the car park entrance on the A592. The boat pier is also near the car park.
Glencoyne provides a scenic lakeshore area with narrow shingle beaches next to the road and wonderful views across the lake. Approx 0.2 miles walk along the road towards Pooley Bridge brings you to a picturesque wooded area between the road and the lake. This area is well known for its daffodils which were the inspiration for the famous Wordsworth poem 'Daffodils'. There are no facilities on site.
Buses stop at the main car park.
From Glenridding village centre, a pleasant 0.3 mile walk leads down to the shores of Ullswater. Here is Glenridding pier where you can catch one of the Ullswater steamers. They sail the length of Ullswater lake, a very scenic trip calling at Howtown and Pooley Bridge. In the pier building is a small cafe and toilet facilities.
Adjacent to the pier is a picturesque parkland area with a large expanse of open grass next to the lake, again with wonderful views.
Across the grass from the pier, adjacent to the lake and the main road, is St Patrick's boat landing where you can hire boats and bikes and there is a small snack bar.
Brothers Water is a small but picturesque lake with high hills all around at the foot of Kirkstone Pass. It is only a short easy walk from the bus stop to the lake and the path continues along the valley floor if you want to keep going. Despite the proximity of the main road, the lake remains relatively peaceful and there is good access to the west shore from the path. There are no facilities nearby.
Buses stop at Cow Bridge car park.
Part of the huge Lowther Estate, Lowther Castle and Gardens stand on a site occupied by the Lowther family for over 800 years. The castle is now a shell but the impressive facades remain and are testament to the magnificent home that was built in the early 19th century. The castle and gardens were left in ruins in the mid 20th century but a recent project has begun to maintain the castle and bring the gardens back to life.
You can wonder within the castle ruin and around the numerous themed gardens which are work in progress but still interesting. There are fabulous views of the castle from the huge gently sloping lawn and also of the Lowther valley from the limestone escarpment walk. The stable courtyard has been sympathetically renovated to provide a cafe, gift shop and toilet facilities. Beyond this an entrance fee applies to the castle and gardens which are open daily all year.
106 bus stops outside the main gate. A 506 bus between Kendal and Penrith also stops in Hackthorpe village, just over 1 mile walk.
The ruins of Shap Abbey are set is a picturesque secluded valley next to the River Lowther. It was the only Abbey within the Lake District boundary and is now in the care of English Heritage. The Abbey was founded around 1200 and was one of the last to be dissolved by Henry VIII in 1540. Much of the stonework was later taken for local construction, including Lowther Castle, but you can still see the lower walls of the buildings and the impressive tower which remains largely complete. Various information boards around the site tell you more about the Abbey and monastic life. The site is not manned and is open at any reasonable time with free entry. No facilities on site, nearest in Shap village.
Nearby is Keld Chapel and a number of prehistoric monuments including the Goggleby Stone. All can be visited in a fairly easy and pleasant walk from Shap village.
Buses stop in Shap village, just over 1 mile walk from Shap Abbey.
Threlkeld Quarry & Mining Museum is situated in an old microgranite quarry which operated from the 1870's to 1980's. Since the early 1990's the site has been developed as a museum by enthusiasts and provides a fascinating insight into local quarrying and mining. The site is covered in old quarry machinery and vintage excavators cared for by the Vintage Excavator Trust who are based here. A narrow gauge railway with steam and diesel locomotives will transport you around the site to view these machines and you are free to wonder around for a better look.
There is also a museum building with a fine collection of small mining and quarrying artefacts and nearby an old copper/lead mine has been reconstructed where you can experience conditions in a typical local mine. The open sloping site gives superb views across the valley towards Blencathra mountain. Separate admission fees apply for the museum, railway and mine tour. Open daily from Easter to end of October. Toilet facilities provided.
X4, X5 buses stop at the village hall in Threlkeld village. 208 buses stop on the A66 at Threlkeld village. Threlkeld village approx 1 mile walk from mining museum.
Next door to Lowther Castle, the Lakeland Bird of Prey Centre has a large collection of hawks, eagles, falcons and owls from around the world. You can wonder around the different aviaries but the highlight is the flying demonstration where you have a chance to fly a bird yourself and there is an informative presentation. The Centre is in an attractive setting and includes tearoom, picnic area, gift shop and toilet facilities. Centre is open daily from April to November, entrance fee applies.
106 bus stops outside the attraction. A 506 bus between Kendal and Penrith also stops in Hackthorpe village, just under 1 mile walk.
At an altitude of 454m, Kirkstone Pass summit is the highest road and the highest bus stop in the Lake District. There isn't much at the summit but there are some wonderful views of the surrounding hills and towards Windermere. There are good walks from here up nearby mountains, made easier by the high starting point. There is also the Kirkstone Pass Inn which is the highest pub in Cumbria and provides refreshments with outdoor seating. Apart from the pub there are no other facilities.
Buses stop near the pub.


Julian Dunkerton earlier this month officially demanded an investor meeting.
Superdry co-founder Julian Dunkerton has suffered another blow in his bid to return to the fashion chain's board.
Investor advisory firm PIRC on Wednesday joined Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) in recommending shareholders reject Mr Dunkerton's attempt to regain a seat at the top table.
For its part, Superdry has said Mr Dunkerton's return would be "extremely damaging" to company's prospects.


One should avoid picturing a land which can never be reached, and arousing hopes never to be fulfilled, for the indulgence only makes existence harder.
Did any of this significantly affect my project? What would I have photographed if I'd persisted? Would volunteers be working in the garden and farm? Would the street fair have been fun and exuberant? Would I have been drenched or driven back by strong winds?
I will never know. This is one of the minor mysteries of my project—the places, people, events, issues, things that I missed.
The days before my last in Detroit close in. What might surprise me today, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, what remains of this trip—and for the rest of my life? And which of these surprises will be important?
Are any of these significant?
I forgot to tell her about Kitty inviting me to give a forum about our Palestine-Israel process at my Quaker meeting in Cambridge Massachusetts. That the process represents a major surprise for our community, a form of unity around one limited aspect of that explosive situation.
Sounds very "safe" skip. I understand your motivation on the " radical" end by allowing folks who are not close to the Motor City happenings a look at what is going on but what about the entities on the other side of the line?

Safe? Which aspect of my project did he refer to? The entire project? Safe? I must consider this.
As most people now realize, Detroit has become an icon of the failed post-industrial city in the United States—suffering poverty, racism, corporate dominance, and corruption. However, as always, there is another side: resurgence through urban agriculture, grass-roots politics, arts activism, and the high-tech auto industry. With my photography I strive to expose the seeds of the new Detroit miracle.
Other than that, Icarus, how was the flight?

Juan Williams: Republican leaders must keep Tea Party on the run
By Juan Williams — 02/17/14 06:00 AM EST
© Greg Nash
Speaker John Boehner John Andrew BoehnerDemocrats eager to fill power vacuum after Pelosi exit Stopping the next insurrection Biden, lawmakers mourn Harry Reid MORE (R-Ohio) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnel (R-Ky.) are now in position to end the Tea Party's death grip on the Republican Party's political future.
Last week, Boehner and McConnell faced down the Tea Party's threat to cripple the government when they supported raising the nation's debt ceiling. That move prevented GOP political suicide.
If the nation's credit rating, stocks and the recovery went down the sewer because of Republicans' refusal to raise the debt ceiling, the GOP's chances in the midterm elections would have been severely damaged.
Having successfully defied the Tea Party on the debt ceiling, now it is time for Boehner and McConnell to use that momentum to pass three bills: An extension of unemployment benefits for people suffering long-term joblessness; a minimum wage hike; and, most important of all, immigration reform.
The Tea Party caucus in the House and the Tea Party star in the Senate – Sen. Ted Cruz Rafael (Ted) Edward CruzGolden State Warriors owner says 'nobody cares' about Uyghurs All hostages free, safe after hours-long standoff at Texas synagogue: governor Overnight Energy & Environment — Lummis holds up Biden EPA picks MORE (R-Texas) — are never going to love Boehner or McConnell. Both Congressional leaders have tried for years to accommodate Tea Party passions but they can never do enough.
By standing up to the Tea Party now, the GOP congressional leadership can create a legacy. They may suffer attacks from right-wing talk radio. But they will go into history as the team that made it possible for future Republicans to win elections with the support of some working class and Hispanic voters.
By increasing the minimum wage, which is favored in polls by a majority of Republicans and Democrats, as well as extending unemployment insurance, the GOP can avoid the trap of being labeled as the party of the rich. Indifference to the people hit hardest by the recession is a major political vulnerability for the party as income inequality becomes a dominant political theme.
The Tea Party's refusal to negotiate, much less compromise, with Democrats has led to historic gridlock in Congress and hurt the nation's ability to govern itself. Nothing is being done in Congress to spur economic growth or help the nation address critical needs regarding tax reform, improving our schools and dealing with immigration reform.
The last two months have seen small steps by Republican leaders to get the Congress back to work. First the budget deal, then the Farm Bill, and now raising the debt ceiling. With no help from the GOP, President Obama issued an executive order to raise the minimum wage for federal contract workers last week. Obama's healthcare plan is now showing better enrollment numbers, too.
A deal on immigration — which also has support in polls from a majority of Republicans — is the next step for Boehner and McConnell to show that their party is able to do more than obstruct the nation's progress.
Boehner is ready to move on immigration. He issued a list of principles for immigration reform before a Tea Party caucus rebellion made him quit. He then tried to blame the situation on a lack of trust in Obama to "enforce our laws." That was a weak excuse. The president has deported nearly 2 million undocumented workers since taking office, angering his own political base in the process.
Frank Sharry, executive director of immigrant advocacy group America's Voice, told me in an interview last week that activists will be putting pressure on the president to use his executive powers to stop deportations. The White House, meanwhile, is pushing the activists to maintain pressure on Congress.
"We're still trying to keep the focus on legislative action," insists Sharry, who believes there are between 50 and 60 Republicans in the House ready and willing to defy the Tea Party caucus and support a discharge petition to move immigration reform to a vote on the House floor.
Together with votes from Democrats, that would allow House passage of the bipartisan immigration bill that passed the Senate in July. The dynamic would be along the same lines as last week's vote on raising the debt ceiling.
With support from Boehner, this effort to move beyond Tea Party paralysis on immigration becomes a winner for Republicans. At the moment, all they can do is complain if Obama issues an executive order. Meanwhile, immigration activists, including Sharry, continue to press Obama to act on his own.
In June 2012, the president halted deportations of children of undocumented workers who qualify for citizenship under the Dream Act, as people brought here at a young age who are in school or the military. The Dream Act is another piece of legislation block by the Tea Party caucus.
Immigration activists want the president to unilaterally end deportations of parents of citizens. Next, they want him to stop deporting people who have not committed crimes. Finally, they want him to stop deporting anyone who qualifies for citizenship under the Senate immigration bill, which the President has said he supports.
The nation, including the Republican-leaning business community, wants a rational immigration system to bring in needed workers, especially talented people. Americans also want to do something about the more than 11 million people living here illegally.
Unless Boehner and McConnell stand up to the Tea Party now, the GOP will forever alienate Hispanic voters and limit the party's chances in future elections. It is time for them to end the infighting that is hurting their party and the nation.

Multidisciplinary treatment for congenitally missing teeth
Salvatore Lotardo, DDS, AAACD
It is always important to consider multiple treatment options, as there can be many ways to effectively treat the same case. Clinicians often have a bias toward treatment plans that favor their skill sets or ones for which they have had prior experience. As a general dentist, it is important to develop a wide knowledge base encompassing all of the disciplines so that all options are considered when treatment planning. Even if clinicians decide not to perform certain treatments, they need to know what is possible, including the limitations and advantages of potential alternatives. This allows them to fully inform patients and guide them into making a decision that best meets their needs and desires.
Historically, orthodontic education at the undergraduate level has been minimal. This has led to an underutilization of orthodontics as an adjunct to restorative treatment. Fortunately, the trend toward multidisciplinary dentistry is on the rise, which is leading to less invasive treatments with improved outcomes.
Case Report 1
A 19-year-old female patient presented with the chief complaint of not being happy with her smile (Figure 1 through Figure 4). After a comprehensive examination, the patient was found to have a congenitally missing tooth No. 9, macrodontia of tooth No. 8, and a Class II molar relationship on the right side with minor spacing and rotations throughout the arch.
When treatment planning complex cases, dentists should ask themselves: Can this case be treated without preparing or extracting any teeth? If so, how can that be accomplished? Although there are multiple ways that this case could be treated, the most conservative option involves using orthodontic treatment to open space so that the missing tooth can be replaced with a dental implant. To address the patient's goals, any other treatment would require either significant preparation of the teeth or extraction of one or more teeth.
It's one thing to devise a plan and another to know if it is attainable. In orthodontic-restorative combination cases, clinicians need to know the feasibility of moving teeth into the desired positions as well as the potential resultant occlusal and esthetic outcomes. The goal is "translation," whereby the tooth moves bodily (ie, both crown and root) in the direction of the force applied. When correctly performed, this will not only reposition the teeth within the arch, but also minimize tipping in preparation for implant placement.
Orthodontics offers many techniques and tools to analyze tooth size and arch length (Figure 5).1 Typically, these types of analyses serve as aids in predicting and treating tooth size and arch length discrepancies in adolescent malocclusions. In adult patients presenting with both orthodontic and restorative needs, analyzing and establishing these relationships can be more challenging.
Coming from a restorative perspective, the use of smile design software (Smile Designer Pro, Tasty Tech Ltd.) allows for the incorporation of an orthodontic prediction into the esthetic restorative outcome (Figure 6). Most smile design programs and other photography-based software applications use photographs calibrated with referenced measurements and then manipulate them using templates or custom outlines to determine tooth proportions and positons.2The resulting blueprint can then be used to guide restorations. Similarly, these functions can be used to guide orthodontic treatment and set up teeth and arch forms to maximize restorative outcomes.
The goal of smile design is not to idealize every case, but rather to systematically evaluate a smile and identify elements that would enhance the patient's esthetics if corrected. In this case, important elements to be addressed include symmetry, central dominance, and tooth proportions.
Arguably, one central incisor could fit the criteria for symmetry, as is sometimes done in orthodontic cases on the lower arch, but that obviously will not work in the upper arch for this case.3 Symmetry among the maxillary central incisors is more important than among any other contralateral teeth and therefore, is a primary goal of treatment.4
Central dominance means that the maxillary central incisors are the focal point of the smile. In most cases, lack of central dominance (ie, the centrals do not dominate in size and shape over the adjacent laterals) is the issue. Although this case would be considered to have excess central dominance, correction is still of high importance.
Tooth proportion is twofold, involving both the proportion of the individual tooth in terms of its width-to-height ratio and its relative proportion to the adjacent teeth. A typical unworn central incisor has a width-to-height ratio of 76%, average crown widths ranging from 8.4 to 9.3 mm, and average lengths ranging from 10.4 to 11.2 mm.5,6 In this case, the lone central not only exhibits a larger than average width at 10.5 mm but also a height equal to its width, resulting in a ratio of 100% that makes for a square and less-than-esthetic proportion.
Determining the relative proportions begins with the establishment of an ideal central, and then the proportions of the remaining incisors are derived from that measurement. In this case, because the central is too prominent, the relative proportions must be determined by working backwards from the canines and the laterals. Historically, cosmetic dentists have used a variety of formulas to calculate relative proportions, but the most well-known is the "golden ratio" or "golden proportion."7Smile design templates are often based on such proportional formulas, but the software allows for customization, which gives the dentist an opportunity to make adjustments by visually determining the desired relative proportions. Because all of the measurements are calibrated, the new goal proportions can be factored into the final treatment plan.
Using the existing size of the canines and laterals as a starting point, the smile design revealed that two 8.5-mm wide centrals would look the most natural. So, if the macrodontic central (ie, No. 8) could be reduced in width to 8.5 mm, and space could be created to allow for a symmetrically sized implant-retained crown in the No. 9 position, an ideal esthetic outcome could be achieved. However, because the tooth size/arch length analysis predicted that only 6.0 mm of space creation was realistic, achieving ideal proportions using this method would be unlikely. Either a compromise in esthetics or a more aggressive tooth preparation would have to be decided upon at that stage of the treatment.
After the findings, limitations, and treatment options were discussed with the patient, she consented to a plan involving orthodontic treatment to open space for the placement of an implant to replace missing tooth No. 9 and a porcelain veneer to narrow the width of tooth No. 8.
Orthodontic Phase
Fixed appliance therapy was initiated to level and align both arches. Correction of the rotated posterior teeth was planned to create space by aligning the narrower dimension of the teeth to the arch form. Along with closing any existing diastemas, this would create the space needed for an implant in the No. 9 position. Utilizing a combination of chains, nickel titanium closing and opening coils, and archwire expansion, space was redistributed to the left central incisor area. For esthetics, a crown shell can be attached to the wire and modified periodically to keep up with the space as it opens (Figure 7 and Figure 8).
Opening space orthodontically may result in crown tipping, which can leave the roots of adjacent teeth converging into the prospective implant site. When this occurs, the resultant clinical inter-crown space may be deceptive and not indicative of pure bodily movement. If the mechanics for translation are correct, the crown and the root move together, and the correct pathway for implant placement is assured.8 When possible, overcorrection of the root angulations by tipping the roots more divergently than necessary allows for an easier and safer implant placement. Once the implant is placed and integrated, the adjacent roots can be moved back into proper alignment.
Surgical/Implant Phase
Upon completion of the active phase of orthodontic therapy and confirmation of space and root angulations, an immediately loaded implant was planned. There are many advantages to computer-guided implant placement; however, in this case, the orthodontic appliances were to be left in place, so a freehand technique was planned(Figure 9 through Figure 12).9
Following administration of local anesthesia, a tissue punch was performed, and an osteotomy was created for the placement of a 3.5 x 13 mm implant (Nobel Active, Nobel Biocare). The implant was positioned to maximize the esthetics while respecting the biologic parameters necessary for successful integration.
An immediate screw-retained provisional was fabricated using a temporary abutment and an acrylic crown form.10 Even in situations where the screw access would lie outside of the incisal edge or the buccal edge, a screw-retained provisional is still preferred because it improves a clinician's ability to shape the contours necessary to develop a correct soft-tissue emergence profile.11
The orthodontic fixed appliances should remain in place until implant integration is confirmed.12 At subsequent visits, the soft-tissue profile is improved by adjusting the contours of the provisional until the proper, final emergence profile is achieved. At 12 weeks after implant placement, the brackets and bands are removed, and the final prosthetic plan is devised.13
At this point, the decision was made to complete the treatment plan despite the fact that there would be a slight size discrepancy between the two central incisors. To make tooth No. 8 and No. 9 symmetrical, the width of No. 8 would have to be reduced by 2.5 mm. However, this amount would encroach upon the cervical width at the osseous crest. One solution to correct this would be to restart orthodontic treatment and extrude the larger tooth. Moving the narrower portion of the tooth incisally in this manner would allow for a narrower overall restoration and a more symmetric gingival outline form relative to the final restoration in position No. 9. Unfortunately, this was not considered earlier, and at this time, the patient would not consent to any additional treatment beyond the originally planned veneer and the subsequent compromise in symmetrical widths.
Tooth No. 8 was prepared for a lithium disilicate veneer (IPS e.max®, Ivoclar Vivadent) while reducing the interproximal width as much as possible. Next, a custom impression coping was created for the No. 9 implant to capture the soft-tissue profile created by the provisional. A simple indirect technique utilizing a stone mounted replica and a transfer of the provisional contour via a polyvinyl siloxane impression material was used (Figure 13 through Figure 16).14 Using the custom, closed-tray impression coping, a definitive full-arch impression was made, ensuring that the soft-tissue profile was transferred accurately to the final model (Figure 17 and Figure 18). The fabrication of the veneer for tooth No. 8 and the zirconia abutment and all-ceramic full crown for the implant in position No. 9 was prescribed. The shade was communicated to the laboratory via photography along with a preparation shade guide and a porcelain shade guide. The screw-retained provisional was replaced, and a bis-acryl provisional was fabricated using a putty matrix technique for tooth No. 8.15
At the seating appointment, the veneer was tried in along with the custom abutment and the implant crown. The esthetics were approved by the patient. After the custom abutment was torqued down to 30 Ncm(Figure 19), the restorations were silanated and bonded with a resin cement (RelyX™, 3M ESPE). Next, final polishing was performed, occlusal adjustments were made, and overlay retainers were fabricated and delivered. The patient was satisfied with the final results of treatment (Figure 20 and Figure 21).
A 41-year-old male patient presented with the chief complaint of "excessive space between his teeth." After a comprehensive examination, the patient was found to have congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors and generalized gingival recession (Figure 22 through Figure 27). Additional orthodontic problems identified included an anterior open bite, upper and lower arch size discrepancies, spacing issues, a right side posterior cross bite, and a left side "scissor bite."
A treatment plan involving comprehensive orthodontics, including orthognathic surgery to fully correct the occlusion and other skeletally related problems, was presented to the patient. He declined any treatment that would involve surgery, so a limited orthodontic compromise solution was developed to address his main esthetic concerns. Although not ideal, compromise treatment can be beneficial and is justified provided that the patient's health, function, and esthetics are not jeopardized by such treatment. For this case, the treatment plan that was presented and accepted involved fixed orthodontics to open space for the congenitally missing laterals, close the midline diastema, and improve the occlusion, followed by implant placement for missing teeth Nos. 7 and 10.
As in the previous case, smile design software was used to determine the proper tooth proportions and subsequently, the space needed to create an esthetic smile. With a width-to-height ratio of 72%, the proportions of the preexisting centrals were deemed too narrow. Therefore, the decision was made to use composite to reshape tooth No. 8 and No. 9 to improve their proportions. Reshaping the mesial contours would also lead to a more natural midline diastema closure at the end of treatment. After translating the teeth and redistributing the space, properly proportioned laterals would become possible through implant restorations.
Tipping proved difficult to control; therefore, during the course of treatment, adjustments in mechanics were needed to ensure proper root alignment (Figure 28).To counteract the tipping movements associated with space closure via chain or open coil, the brackets were purposely misaligned. Because space opening can be deceptive, root angulation and bodily movement must be confirmed (Figure 29 through Figure 33). After 18 months, the upper and lower teeth were aligned, the occlusion was improved, and the case was set up for implant placement.
Upon completion of the active phase of orthodontic therapy and confirmation of space and root angulations, implant therapy was planned as described in the previous case.
Following administration of local anesthesia, a tissue punch was performed, and osteotomies were created for the placement of two 3.0 x 12 mm implants (Tapered Plus, BioHorizons®) using a free hand approach (Figure 34). A delayed loading protocol was followed in this case. Although immediate loading has been shown to be highly successful, in a case such as this where the benefits of immediate load are not critical to the outcome, delayed loading is preferred.16,17
After 12 weeks, the implants were uncovered. Provisionals were fabricated on temporary abutments using hollow crown forms and acrylic. During the next 8 weeks, the provisionals were shaped to mimic the cervical contours needed to develop ideal emergence profiles in the soft tissue(Figure 35 through Figure 36).11When the definitive soft tissue architecture was established, final impressions utilizing customized impression copings were completed.
After the final zirconia abutments were torqued down and the cement-retained IPS e.max crowns (Ivoclar Vivadent) inserted (Figure 37 through Figure 39), composite restorations were completed on teeth Nos. 8 and 9 to improve the proportions and contours and develop midline papilla. The patient expressed satisfaction with the treatment outcome (Figure 40 through Figure 42).
As with most cases, those presented here could be effectively treated using a variety of different treatment plans. The restorative dentist's role in diagnosing and presenting treatment options requires a good understanding of multidisciplinary dentistry. In a time when patients' expectations for esthetic treatment are high, often, restorative solutions alone will be inadequate. When treatment planning, especially in complex cases for which conservative options are desired, orthodontic considerations are vital to success.

Temecula school district bans critical race theory
Three new board members prevail
Jim Holman2022-12-19T21:34:52-08:00December 20th, 2022|
Crowd at Temecula board meeting (pressenterprise.com)
After flipping to a conservative majority, a California school board voted to ban Critical Race Theory (CRT) on Tuesday.
The Temecula Valley Unified School Board adopted a resolution 3-2 which bans the teaching of CRT from the classroom, the same night the three new board members were sworn in. The resolution was introduced by newly elected Joseph Komrosky who said the resolution was a way for him to keep "a campaign promise."
"The first night Dr. Joseph Komrosky said 'I ran my campaign making promises to my future constituents and tonight, I'm gonna make good on those campaign promises,'" Pastor Tim Thompson, founder of the Inland Empire Family PAC, a group focused on parental rights in education that endorsed the three candidates, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. "This is the first one and he did good on that campaign promise and I'm grateful for that. He's a man of his word. All three of them."
….The board also adopted a resolution condemning racism Tuesday, stating that any racist conduct will be punished.
Inland Empire Family PAC worked with and endorsed the three school board candidates in an effort to bring "pro-parental rights candidates" to the Temecula Valley Unified School Board, according to the group website. The group began in 2017 when parents discovered a comprehensive sex education curriculum was being taught within the school district.
The above comes from a Dec. 15 posting on the Daily Caller.

Well, without a rational definition of what 'racism' is and how to identify it, it's just more BS from a public school board…should have left that one alone instead of virtue signaling like the radicals they replaced. Might as well adopt a resolution condemning the flu and sprained ankles…

As I see it, however my perspective has limitations, the problem with CRT is that it defines racism in such a way that it constitutes a condemnation of whiteness and an exoneration of blackness. In other words, racism is not about character but about ontology. Thus CRT is racist to the core under the conventional understanding as the treating of people based on the color of their skin. As such it should be condemned. Its excesses are ludicrous– claiming math is racist, for instance. That said, I suppose it is easier to define racism than to identify it, especially given the CRT ploy of finding subconscious racism in everything white.

They had to do that to show they aren't racists. In some people's minds, opposing CRT is a racist stance. Like how some people think opposing gay marriage is homophobic.

Banning Critical Race Theory is good. They should be commended. Are they perfect? No, none of us are. But, should we let the perfect prevent us from doing good? Martin Luther King Jr. wasn't perfect, but he was right when he said, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

I have always wondered about that quote. Why do his children have to be judged at all?

Maybe i understand your point. But, judge, the verb, means to form an opinion or conclusion about. It isn't necessarily bad or condemnatory. Shouldn't physicians judge a child's health? And, his children grew into adults. Don't you want the pilot during your next air travel to be judged? Or, should anyone who claims they can fly a 737 be allowed into the cockpit? As a parent, don't you judge your children, even positively, when they demonstrate good behavior and virtuous character traits? Jesus Himself said to "judge rightly." As Catholics, we judge no one's soul. But, Christ and His Church do judge certain acts as sinful and others as virtuous. I think Rev. King was right on this.

CRT? What is it? Do they teach it in elementary and high school? They don't teach it in public schools or most colleges. Most of us don't know what it is, but we think we do. Let's start with the idea that it is ok for one person to own another, regardless of race. I don't know anyone who believes that is ok, but they did back in earlier times, and it was legal in our country until 1865, only 157 years ago. When slavery was abolished with the 13th Amendment, that didn't end racial discrimination. We still have vestiges of discrimination in the workplace, in our society in general, yet few of us identify ourselves as racists. What we see now, I observe, is a willingness to treat the history of our country in more real terms than in the past. Jefferson wrote of all men being equal but owned lots of slaves. Washington had slaves. Our communities discouraged mixed races living in the same neighborhoods, banks charged higher interest on home loans, etc. Those things were pretty much shoved under the rug in our schools in favor of more stories that were really close to propaganda. Today we have the Proud Boys overtly calling for rule by white people, refusing to be "replaced" by Jews, etc.. Teaching about that is not CRT, it is history. Just this month Congress passed the first law that makes it legal throughout the land for people of mixed race to marry.

Another uninformed opinion of the leftist Bob One, we will do our best to correct it.
CRT? What is it?= Answer: white people are inherently evil, non whites are inherently good, whites oppressor, non whites oppressed
Do they teach it in elementary and high school?= Yes
They don't teach it in public schools or most colleges. = Wrong on both counts
Let's start with the idea that it is ok for one person to own another,= Bob One like most leftist thinks most whites living today actually own slaves, it would come quite as shock to him that there are actual slave markets in places like Libya and Somalia, which he of course would blame on whites. Or that some of biggest holders of slaves were non-whites as were slave traders
Today we have the Proud Boys overtly calling for rule by white people, refusing to be "replaced" by Jews, etc. Bob One you are wrong once again, the guys yelling "Jews will not replace us" were not Proud boys. If you did any actual research, the Proud Boys were a response to Antifa ( a group your side has affinity for) who were constantly physically attacking right wing personality with ideas that your side find verbotten
Bob One you hate anyone of European descent which puts you in perfect line with the democrat party.. Knows this Bob One you or your Marxist band of thugs will never convince me to hate my family, my culture, my lineage or my skin color based on crimes I didn't commit
Bob One December 22, 2022 at 5:12 pm - Reply
bohemond, as usual, I wouldn't know where to begin! First of all, I am of European descent – Irish and French. My ancestor fought at Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill and Ticonderoga, were officers and enlisted men in the Civil War, etc. I don't hate people. I have a few friends who are Democrats, and they don't hate people, just the opposite.
Your history needs some updating.
Your facts need checking.
Deal with policy, not denigration of people. Because someone has a differs from your opinion doesn't make them bad people. I'm sure you are a very nice person, too.
Bob One, your family lineage no matter how impressive does not matter to me. My history and facts are spot. Tell me where I am wrong, point out the error. Some of the biggest slave trader and holders were non-white, that is fact. But its a fact that has not been taught because it does not align with the narrative of regime of woke: ie. whites are oppressive non -whites oppressed. I am not a "nice" guy and I am truthful if that means I am not popular, so be it. I will continue to denigrate the left as much as possible

'Find me enough votes: Trump to official on tape
AP / Updated: Jan 5, 2021, 04:39 IST
Trump is yet to concede defeat
President Donald Trump heard on tape pleading with Georgia's election chief to overturn Joe Biden's win in the state; threatens 'criminal liablity'
President Donald Trump pressured Georgia's Republican secretary of state to "find" enough votes to overturn Joe Biden's win in the state's presidential election, repeatedly citing disproven claims of fraud and raising the prospect of a "criminal offense" if officials did not change the vote count, according to a recording of the conversation.
The phone call with Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Saturday was the latest step in an unprecedented effort by a sitting president to press a state official to reverse the outcome of a free and fair election that he lost. The president, who has refused to accept his loss to Democratic president-elect Biden, repeatedly argued that Raffensperger could change the certified results. "All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have," Trump said. "Because we won the state."
Georgia counted its votes three times before certifying Biden's win by a 11,779 margin, Raffensperger noted. "President Trump, we've had several lawsuits, and we've had to respond in court to the lawsuits and the contentions," he said on the call. We don't agree that you have won." The Associated Press obtained the full audio of Trump's conversation with Georgia officials from a person on the call.
Trump's renewed intervention and the persistent and unfounded claims of fraud come nearly two weeks before he leaves office and two days before twin runoff elections in Georgia that will determine political control of the US Senate.
The president used the hour-long conversation to tick through a list of claims about the election in Georgia, including that hundreds of thousands of ballots mysteriously appeared in Fulton County, which includes Atlanta. Officials have said there is no evidence of that happening.
The Georgia officials on the call are heard repeatedly pushing back against the president's assertions. At another point in the conversation, Trump appeared to threaten Raffensperger and Ryan Germany, the secretary of state's legal counsel, by suggesting both could be criminally liable if they failed to find that thousands of ballots in Fulton County had been illegally destroyed. There is no evidence to support Trump's claim. "That's a criminal offense," Trump says. "And you can't let that happen."
Others on the call included Mark Meadows, the White House chief of staff, and attorneys assisting Trump, including Washington lawyer Cleta Mitchell.
Democrats and a few Republicans condemned Trump's actions, while at least one Democrat urged a criminal investigation. AP

£50,000 grant confirmed to save PS Waverley's home at the Glasgow Science Centre
The funding, which Glasgow Live reported on Tuesday, has been confirmed to fix the berth
Isaac Callan
The Waverley paddle steamer
Glasgow City Council has today approved a grant of £50,000 as a contribution to vital works which must be done to the berth for the PS Waverley, which sits at the Glasgow Science Centre.
As reported by Glasgow Live on Tuesday, the council will put forward the money for the project which is estimated to cost over £108,000 in total.
The work is necessary to help keep the world famous steamer operating on the Clyde, with elements of the berth reaching the end of their natural life and leaving potential problems for the future.
Woman victim of upskirting on Glasgow train
The Waverley itself has been in its current birth by the Science Centre since 2003 when it moved from its previous home in Anderston Quay to accommodate the construction of the Clyde Arc Bridge.
Maintenance of the Waverley is an important investment for Glasgow, with the leisure ship generating 33.6 million for the Scottish economy every year and furnishing 136 FTE jobs.
Speaking about the decision, Kenny McLean, City Convener for Neighbourhoods, Housing and Public realms, said the Waverley was an important part of Glasgow's culture.
Images of five young men released following assault outside Glasgow city centre sports shop
He said: "The Waverley has played a notable role in Glasgow's cultural and economic life for generations, and the council's contribution to the remediation work at Glasgow Science Centre will help this role to continue.
"In addition, in a time where a great deal of work and investment is taking place on the Clyde, the Waverley's vital contribution to activity on the river and its status as a destination should be recognised."
The work is planned to take place while the Waverley is not berthed, meaning that May and August 2019 are both potential times.
In May the ship will be dry docked, while in August it will be sailing off the South Coast.

Saturday Flashback: Jon Secada – If You Go
"The sort of thing that'd get someone's attention as they're scanning through an FM radio dial."
Tom: Peak 1994 "Latin-influenced adult contemporary American pop" here. As in, this was designed for the CD collections of soccer moms across the United States.
Tim: Hmm, okay.
Tom: Good enough, really, isn't it?
Tim: Yep, and certainly very 1994 pop – I'm filing that alphabetically right ahead of Lighthouse Family and M People.
Tom: Catchy chorus, the sort of thing that'd get someone's attention as they're scanning through an FM radio dial. Key change, of course, to push it past four minutes. I never heard this before last week, and somehow it still makes me feel a bit nostalgic.
Tim: Well, it's the sound – entirely typical. Good, mind, but typical.
Tom: Also, well done to the director at the end, who just told the extras "bounce up and down on your seats a bit, it'll look like the bus is moving, honest".
Although the best performance of this track was, of course, that time a stage lift didn't work and Jon Secada had to sing while clambering out of a hole at the '94 World Cup opening ceremonies in Chicago. It starts at 6'35" in.
Tim: And the absolutely perfect thing is that the camera cuts to him right has he sings "I'm almost there". Beautiful stuff.
Tom: Turns out he dislocated his shoulder, so, uh, sorry Jon.

The most significant part of Jesus' teaching was that God was initiating a Kingdom. It was not a geographical place (so it would not be brought about by war against the Romans who occupied his country). And it was not a particular people (so no religious group could claim the title). Instead, it was the place where God is accepted as King and his rule for the world is willingly obeyed.
It is like a man stumbling on a treasure that is so precious that it is worth forsaking everything else in order to own it.
It is like a tiny seed which has the potential to grow into a tree in which birds find protection and nourishment.
It is like a vulnerable woman who refuses to give up her quest for the justice that is rightfully hers until she achieves it by sheer persistence.
It is like a party invitation that has been snubbed by the rich and famous, so the poor and despised enjoy the feast instead.
In this Kingdom people would do what is good not because they are afraid of what would happen if they didn't, but because they are motivated by wanting the best. 'A new command I give you,' Jesus told his followers. 'Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.' God is not merely asking for a change of behaviour; he is asking for a change of heart and mind.
Very close the beginning of his gospel, the first of the four in the Bible to be written, Mark sums up the whole of Jesus' teaching in three soundbites.
I wouldn't be where I am without my faith. Religion is my backbone and what gets me up in the morning.
Power in complete subordination to love – that is something like a definition of the Kingdom of God.
To want all that God wants, always to want it, for all occasions and without reservations, this is the kingdom of God which is all within.
