Igniting the Pages of Romance

Soundtracks for my Books
Nathaniel Reis screwed up. He put his career as an air force pilot before his marriage to Tess, and wound up divorced. Now that he's left the service, he has a plan to fix things, if only he can get her alone for a few days.
When Tess misses her flight to a corporate retreat, Nat's there with his island-hopper plane and a plot to get stranded in paradise thanks to "mechanical problems." But his plan goes awry when a storm blows them off course and they have to make a real emergency landing—and not on the island where he's stashed supplies.
Tess is furious. She's anxious to get to her retreat, and away from Nat. She's even angrier that being so close to him arouses her in a way she hasn't been for a long time. Rescue can't come soon enough, but in the meantime, she's going to have to trust Nat to keep her safe. Even if she's in danger of falling for him all over again.
Review: Realm of Romance gave it 4 1/2 stars!
Taking chances is never easy–especially when the whole town is watching.
Ellie Morgan is trying to stay below the radar in a small town. Her break-up with her football coach boyfriend and growing interest in her best friend's
widower are grist to the local gossip mill. Her friendship with the local psychic and the return of her prodigal mother are the cherries on the cake.
Add a meddling preacher, a water-loving dog and a man trying to shake off his past, and Ellie's got more than enough on her plate in her quest for
Chosen as Book of the Month by Realm of Romance!
Had she misread the signs?
Briefly captivated by the idea of romance and pretty, shiny weddings, Willow Hawkins agreed to meet her potential boyfriend's family and quickly realized she'd made a mistake. Stranded in small-town Nowhere, Willow calls her best friend, Cameron Trask, for an escape.
Even though he'll miss an important job interview, Cam comes to her rescue. When Willow starts to see Cam with new eyes, she wonders how she's never made the connection from best friend to best lover. Willow has one chance to help the man she loves—join him on a cross-country road trip to get to the interview on time. On the way they'll face a jealous puppy, an unreliable automobile and weather that threatens to trap them alone…together.
The biggest roadblock she'll come up against? If Cam gets his dream job, Willow may lose him for good.

Going to his twenty-fifth reunion isn't Sam Justiss's idea. He's an action movie hero who doesn't need to reconnect with those who shunned him in high school. But his mother still teaches there and wants him to attend. She's sacrificed so much for him, he can't refuse. He drags his assistant Lorelei Dormer along.
Lorelei has been Sam's assistant for three years, and in love with him approximately two years, eleven months and twenty-nine days. When he asks her to act as his girlfriend, hoping to deter flirty former classmates, Lorelei resists. She's no actress and must guard her heart. But when he promises a vacation abroad for her down-on-her-luck sister, Lorelei can't refuse. These things always end well, right?
The intimacy she's thrust into destroys the crumbly wall she's built around her heart. Is she willing to risk everything to tell him how she feels?
The Romance Studio gave it five hearts.
Happily Ever After Reviews gave it three teacups.

Is there such a thing as being too close, knowing each other too well? Lauren Stokes put a lid on her attraction toward her best friend Seth Escamilla years ago. She'd never be his type of woman, so why torture herself? When sexual awareness strikes during a friendly football game, she's stunned. He's guilty for injuring her and looks after her, but Lauren resorts to wisecracking to distance herself from him. Seth's confused by the new emotions swamping him. This is Lauren, his best friend, someone he has fun with, not someone he has fun with! He doesn't plan to settle down, and he won't risk their friendship when they have no future. They resist the new attraction, and the efforts of their families to push them together. When a wedding loosens their inhibitions, keeping the new aspect of their relationship a secret is harder than they would have thought.

Nice 1937 Ford Coupe 350 v8 power windows power steering . Drivers side window is cracked in several places . I have removed the fenders cause they need body work fenders have dents and scratches they will need paint and body work . They will go with the car . This would be a great project but I got too many toys and not enough time. Car runs and drives good but will need to be trailered because the fenders and lights are not attached to the car.

Hi and welcome back to Anna's World! It's been a while since I've posted anything but you'll find out why in this post. I've been very busy the past few months! I just returned from a trip to New Orleans for my very first RT Conference! What a blast we had. My PA, Anne Welch, and I met at her house in Tennessee and drove down. The drive was scenic and fun-filled, with Anne serenading me with her version of Let It Go while counting the dead armadillos along the road. Yes, that's Anne! We had the opportunity to meet some very talented authors, attend some informative panels, do a lot of promoting and of course there was the big book fair on Saturday where I signed books! Some of my street team members joined us mid-week and it was great to finally meet up with them and share some good times. My new publisher, Blushing Books was there and I enjoyed spending some time with them as well.
That being said, I've also been busy with books!! My cookbook, Nana Anna And Friends Are Cooking has been released from Rebel Ink Press and is available from Amazon and B&N. Rebel also put together an anthology of my three short romances, all set in the Hoosier state, and it's available from Amazon and B&N in paperback form and in ebook form on Amazon and ARe. It's titled Friends, Enemies and Lovers.
The seventh installment in the Fab Five series was released in April by LazyDay Publishing. A Dangerous Road To Destiny is available as an ebook from Amazon, B&N and ARe. The series will soon come to its conclusion with two more stories that you won't want to miss.
Submitting to Bryan, the sequel to Accepting His Terms written by my spicier side, Isabella Kole, is completed and should be out sometime this year. I'll give you more details as they come in.
Now, I've turned my attention back to Anna and am getting ready to begin the second book in The Promises Trilogy for Rebel Ink Press. Remember Our Promise was the first and so many readers asked for a series after they read it that I decided to make it a Trilogy.
So you see, I've been quite busy and there are two more book shows in the works. I'll be signing at the Indie Mashup in Houston in August and the Indie Mashup in Tampa in September.
The Fab Five are back, and another O'Grady employee needs their assistance.
Joanna Barnes and Marcos Avila mix like oil and water. When the restaurant he works for in Dallas sends him to Houston to open a new Chloe's Place in a hotel chain, Marcos meets Miss Barnes, who gets under his skin from the start. Joanna works for the hotel, and when she tries to tell him how to do his job, it infuriates him. When both their employers have to order them to get along on the job it becomes evident that they might like each other a little more than they are letting on. Both Joanna and Marcos scoff at the idea.
Joanna has been hurt in love and would like to find a man she can count on. She begins to see that she does indeed have feelings for Marcos, but starts dating Greg Grayson, whom she met on an online dating site instead, thinking he is the safer choice. Marcos could easily break her heart.
Greg Grayson, however, is not who he appears to be. When Joanna and Greg meet and begin dating, Marcos is concerned. Seeking the help of his respected employer, Ryan O'Grady, the two men have Mr. Grayson investigated, and what they find doesn't bode well for Miss Barnes.
Realizing his feelings for Joanna go much deeper than he cares to admit, Marcos sets out to change her mind about him and about Greg. But that day, Joanna finds herself in a dangerous position; will Marcos get to her in time? Will the couple finally realize their destiny, or will Greg make sure it never happens?
Three couples. Three romantic love stories set in the beautiful Hoosier state that will warm your heart.
Friends…A Woman Like Her…Amy and Dillon have been friends since the day they met at the engagement party of her best friend and his brother. Three years later, they find themselves wondering if there is more to their relationship than friendship. Amy is ready for a committed relationship but Dillon has never been a fan of marriage. Can the two come to an understanding or is it time to move on? When Dillon's life is on the line, the decision may be made for them.
Enemies…A Holiday Hideaway…Sara and Cade are fierce competitors in the law firm they work for. Both young and successful, each desires to be a partner in the firm. When Sara wins the partnership, but finds herself as second chair in a big case Cade is working on, a case that could win a partnership spot for him, will sparks fly? Before the case begins, however, the two find themselves in the same secluded hideaway for the holidays. Will the sparks fly in a different way?
Lovers…If You Love Me…The prequel to A Woman Like Her finds Ashley and her husband Adam contemplating the state of their marriage. Will a former lover steal her away when he conveniently shows up in town at the same time Adam walks out on Ashley? Ashley must decide which man holds her heart in his hands. Will she choose the man who left her years ago who wants a second chance or the man who really loves her?
Want to hear how the cookbook came about?
Okay, that's about it for now. More to follow! Until then, have a safe and happy holiday and keep reading!


We are only weeks away from lighting the torch and kicking off the anticipated 2016 Summer Olympics. When the games kick off in August, all eyes will turn to the host, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil for a multitude of reasons; due to the games of course, but also because the country is currently facing a myriad of crises, including corruption, an economic downfall and a public health emergency.
When Brazil bid on the opportunity to host the games, the country was excited and optimistic about their future. Six years ago, Brazil's economy was flourishing. An oil discovery promised a bright future and political unrest seemed a thing of the past. The country was excited, and the rest of the world seemed to share that excitement, granting Rio the 2016 Olympic Games.
Currently facing their worst economic crises in decades, the country is also facing the colossal responsibility of preparing for a worldwide sporting event.
Topping a list that includes economic unrest and widespread protests is the recent loss of their president, Dilma Rousseff, who was forced to step down amid allegations of corruption, allegations that don't stop at the president; those being investigated include state-controlled energy company Petrobras, high-ranking members of the governing Workers' Party and the president of the Senate and Rio de Janeiro's governor.
The investigation also includes major construction companies, some of which hold contracts for Olympic structures. Some athletes are scared to compete in a country facing an outbreak of the Zika virus, or swim in waters teeming with sewage, and the rest of the world is questioning what exactly they will see when the cameras whir to life in August.
Those faced with the responsibility of covering the event are also unsure of what they will face when they land in Brazil. Joe Rexrode, sports columnist for the Nashville Tennessean, covered the London Games in 2012 but says this time is very different.
Joe says he's taken part in a lot of discussions regarding safety, water concerns, Zika and more. They were urged to keep their computers clear of data in case they were stolen and were told not to show their cell phones when walking around.
While the hope is that a mega event like the Olympics will boost the economy and contribute to economic growth (the country will be receiving investments from both the public and private sector), looking back on past events and at other countries tells us that this may be an overly optimistic outlook.
It's true that temporary jobs in manual labor will help the rising unemployment rate and the investments will assist with growth, but a case study from the Seven Pillar Institute shows that investments given to Olympic hosts tend to only benefit the wealthy and much of the profits made go right back to the investors. Sadly, the new construction and service jobs will disappear when the Olympic Rings find another home and the torch is extinguished.
Previous hosts like Barcelona and Los Angeles both found the games to be profitable and saw an economic boost, however, it doesn't work that way for all hosts. Spending billions of dollars to host a one-time event is not a solid, long-term growth strategy. Some hosts, including Greece and Montreal, have even ended up in debt. Athens and Sydney, for example, spent one-fourth of their budget deficit on infrastructure for the games, facilities that now sit empty.
Despite the turmoil, officials out of the country are assuring the public that everything will be ready in time. The World Health Organization is insisting the Zika virus is not a large enough threat to justify a move and the structures are almost 100 percent complete.
Others are hopeful that the jobs being offered during the lead-up to the event will have a positive effect. Back in 2015 it was announced on the Rio 2016 website that a partnership with ManpowerGroup would see 5,000 positions filled and 85,000 jobs contracted out. While many of those jobs are temporary, the hope is that the recruitment drive will provide a range of new skills for the workforce, leaving behind a legacy rather than just jobs.
Jobs are just one aspect of the Olympics those in Brazil hope will hang around when the cameras are off. While it's true that many of the buildings built in preparation for the event do stand empty when the stands have cleared, Barra da Tijuc, the athlete's village, is becoming one of the most sought-after residential areas in the city. According to an article in The Guardian, the majority of the 3,604 apartments have already been sold.
Looking past the pitfalls to the event itself seems to be what gives both residents, spectators and those involved in the event, hope. It's what kept Rexrode and his team, even though they were given the opportunity, from backing out of taking the trip.

Envirosite has published free environmental data to assist in the recovery efforts from major hurricanes impacting the United States. Although skies clear and flood waters recede what the storm leaves behind is devastating. Which is why the Envirosite team has pledged to do our part in helping affected areas throughout the United States.
We know that our environmental data plays a critical role in assessing potential environmental risks. In addition, we have access to expansive environmental and geospatial data sets, to help aid environmental professionals and public officials. During catastrophic weather events, we believe it is our civic duty to provide free maps of the impacted areas.

Like many chefs, South Carolina native Tim Richardson gravitated to the kitchen as a teenager. Richardson spent several years learning the restaurant business at locally owned steak houses in Columbia, S.C., before discovering his niche at Twigs, a charming restaurant located in Blowing Rock, North Carolina. Under the tutelage of Twigs Chef Ryan Brevda, Richardson honed his appreciation for preparing high quality ingredients and crafting a fine dining experience. To further refine his culinary skills, Richardson relocated in 2001 to Charleston, S.C., where he enrolled in Johnson & Wales University and began mentoring at Hank's Seafood Restaurant under founding Chef Frank McMahon. Today, Richardson's culinary talent, passion for fresh seafood, and dedication to all aspects of running a restaurant serve him well as Executive Chef of Hank's Seafood Restaurant, a role he earned after many successful years as the restaurant's Chef de Cuisine. Tim and his wife, Anna, are avid water sports enthusiasts who enjoy surfing, paddle boarding, and fishing.


A boxed set of 10 tree essences that we describe as the 'master' trees.
These Master Trees, in turn, also create an umbrella for groups of other trees that have similar types of energy.
This can help you decide which tree essence to use.
This can be interpreted through the colour and chakra correspondence.
This is an ideal set for people who only want a few essences to choose from that nevertheless cover all situations.
It is also a useful foundation set for any essence practitioner.
Thirteen vibrational essences that focus the healing power of light.
Sovereignty, The Goddess of the Land, is one of the major archetypes British and Irish tradition. Threads through many other cultures also tell of the Power in the Land that Man must be blessed by, to maintain a balance with Nature.
These essences can be seen as links or stepping stones towards reconnecting with the Land.
They can also help us to deal with the challenges of living at this time of rapid inner and outer change.
These essence combinations are made from the energy vibrations of particular trees, flowers and wavelengths of light. Initially, they were created to give therapists an effective tool with which they could quickly re-establish balance in their patient's energy state, so allowing much deeper healing work to be safely accomplished.
These essences have also been found to be very effective as "first-aid" after stress or trauma - be it physical, emotional, mental or spiritual.

I Berlin Adler sono una delle più antiche squadre di football americano tedesche. Fondati nel 1979 come Berlin Bären (l'orso è il simbolo araldico di Berlino), sono stati tra i membri fondatori del campionato tedesco (la 1. Bundesliga), dove hanno militato per 19 anni, vincendo 4 titolo nazionali.

Con l'istituzione della German Football league nel 1998, la squadra fu retrocessa in seconda divisione. Nel 2001 riguadagnarono la promozione nella German Football League, e nel 2004 conquistarono il loro 5º titolo di Germania, sconfiggendo in finale i Braunschweig Lions.

Il loro primo stadio fu il Radrennbahn Schöneberg. Attualmente giocano nel Friedrich Ludwig Jahn Sportpark, che fu anche il campo casalingo della defunta squadra della NFL Europa dei Berlin Thunder.

Q: jQuery HTTP .post - how to compare received data my HTTP Post gives back some data. In this case a simple T if the user exists, otherwise an F. These letters are received fine, if i log them they're shown just the way they should be. But i need to do an if-statement with 'data', but even if data contains T if(data == 'T') doesnt return true.
Here is the code:
        $.post('url, {username: loginName }, function(data){
                if(data == 'T'){
                    alert("Username already exists!");
                }else{
                    alert("Username not taken yet!");
                }
            });

Is there any special way to deal with the data?

A: Based on the comments, it seems that the cause of the problem is on the leading/trailing spaces on returning the data.
If you are using PHP on the url, I strongly suggest set the Content-Type to text/plain (using header() function)and trim the data on the source code of the url using trim() PHP function.

CIO Council firms up roles of system architects
By Jason Miller
The CIO Council later this month will release a white paper to set standards for the job responsibilities of a solution architect, an enterprise architect and a chief architect.
Ira Hobbs, deputy CIO at the Agriculture Department and co-chairman of the council's Work Force and Human Capital for IT subcommittee, said the Enterprise Architecture subcommittee and Norman Lorentz, chief technology officer at the Office of Management and Budget, have approved the definitions. The council will share the definitions with state and local governments, industry and academia.
'The notion of enterprise architecture is starting to take hold in the federal government,' Hobbs said. 'But as you find out how people define enterprise architecture and the skill sets of enterprise architects, solution architects or chief enterprise architects, they are all different. We have to figure out how the positions are structured. We need to agree on the scope and responsibilities of these positions.'
Reviewing IT job definitions every two years is part of the CIO Council's charge under the Clinger-Cohen Act, Hobbs said.
The council, which recently named Office of Personnel Management CIO Janet Barnes to be the new subcommittee co-chairwoman, came up with the definitions after consulting with federal and private-sector CIOs and federal employees holding such titles, Hobbs said.
'We want to continue to advance a common frame of reference for each of these positions, so that when we talk about the job of solution architect, we know where they fit in the scheme of things,' Hobbs said. 'We would like to advance to the point where OPM creates a new class of worker. If you look at the GS-2210 job series, there is no mention of enterprise architect.'
OPM set up the 2210 series in 2001 to better define IT employees' jobs.
Hobbs added that the subcommittee will brief OMB after reviewing the results of a project management survey that concluded a new definition was also needed for project managers. Hobbs would not comment on the new definition.
The subcommittee's work on Project Roadmap, an online tool to help employees draw up their own training and career advancement strategies, is close to completion. Hobbs said the subcommittee is working with OPM to resolve some final issues before releasing the tool.

Bentley has sold record number of cars despite pandemic
2020 has been a good year, at least for Bentley
According to the most recent forecasts, the Coronavirus pandemic caused new car sales to fall 15% in 2020 compared to 2019 figures. At Bentley, however, that was all good news.
The Volkswagen subsidiary, based in Crewe, England, said on Tuesday that it had sold a record number of its luxury vehicles in 2020. A total of 11,206 new Bentleys were delivered to owners last year. Compared to 2019, Bentleys sales increased 2% to give the company its eighth consecutive year of selling more than 10,000 cars. Much of the world has experienced economic hardship and mass unemployment as a result of the pandemic, but those with the purchasing power have apparently benefited.
The company's entry-level model is the Bentayga Hybrid, which will set you back $ 156,900.

North America remained Bentley's largest market, with 3,035 new cars sold, and the company added the latest Flying Spur, which helped, uh, get buyers to buy. China also remained positive despite the country's tough lockdowns earlier this year.
With a record year in store, Bentley said it had nine new vehicle launches coming up this year alone. The jury is out on whether we'll see car sales increase as vaccine delivery finds its pace, but it looks like Bentley is ringing in 2021 at an all time high.

The hungary-based low-cost airline, Wizz Air plans to expand its already extensive operations in Poland by opening a new base in Kraków next year. The new operation brings 12 new routes including London, Larnaca Billund and Oslo to the Wizz Air route network and will mean the creation of 80 new jobs including cabin crew at the Kraków base.
Operations will initially begin in April 2019 and Wizz Air then has plans to permanently station two Airbus A321 aircraft at the base later in the year. Kraków becomes the airline's 26th base overall and its fifth base just in Poland. Wizz says the base represents a $240 million investment and will add something in the region of 188,000 seats with one-way fares starting at just €19.99.
The airline says it is looking for "young and ambitious" new cabin crew and other team members to join its team and will be holding recruitment events in Kraków on the 7th, 17th and 26th January 2019. Applications are currently being accepted on Wizz Air's official recruitment website.
Fluent in both written and spoken English as well as one other Central/Eastern European language – Romanian, Bulgarian, Polish, Hungarian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Slovak, Czech, Macedonian, Serbian, Ukrainian, Georgian, or Bosnian.
You will also need to be a confident swimmer and able to cover any tattoo's or body piercings when in Wizz Air uniform. Although previous cabin crew or customer service experience isn't essential, either of these skills will be a definite advantage.
You'll need to prove you have the ability to provide exceptional customer service, working well within a team and maintaining Wizz Air's safety standards. Additional skills include being punctual and flexible, as well as holding high ethical standards.
Wizz Air was first launched in May 2004 and has been steadily growing in size ever since. The airline now operates out of 25 bases across Europe, serving a total of 600 routes Wizz Air has so far seen its passenger numbers grow by around 20% in 2018 compared to the year before.
More information can be found on the official Wizz Air recruitment website.

Stoic Chaos provides consulting and quality firearms instruction for both Law Enforcement and private citizens.The curriculum of Stoic Chaos is accuracy oriented. Instruction emphasizes the ability to perform the fundamentals of marksmanship upon demand, under stress while achieving accurate and effective hits on a target.
The name "Stoic Chaos" is a nod to both the philosophy of Stoicism and the work of Col. John Boyd and the OODA Loop. The word "Stoic" is meant to invoke images of a quiet endurance of adversity. To possess an ability to keep ones head as the world is crashing down around it. The word "Chaos" has a more esoteric meaning. "Chaos" alludes to the idea developed by Col. Boyd that if the individual performs the way he is supposed to during times of conflict he will create chaos within his opponent.
Stoic Chaos provides both structured open enrollment courses along with private custom lessons in the southern part of Illinois.


"Effect of Saturable Serum Protein Binding on the Pharmacokinetics of U" by Michael N. Dudley, W. C. Shyu et al.
Previous studies have demonstrated high, concentration-dependent serum protein binding of cefonicid. To determine the in vivo pharmacokinetic significance of these observations, the pharmacokinetics of both total and unbound (non-protein-bound) cefonicid was studied in six volunteers after a single intravenous dose of 30 mg/kg. Saturable serum protein binding was observed in vivo; the mean +/- standard deviation free fraction of cefonicid was 17.6 +/- 6.1% immediately after administration and declined to a constant value of approximately 2% as total serum concentrations fell below 100 micrograms/ml. This nonlinear binding was associated with a pronounced decline in unbound serum cefonicid concentrations during the first 3 h after administration, with low or undetectable unbound drug concentrations by 12 h. Renal clearance of total cefonicid averaged 21.1 ml/min per kg and did not vary with time; in contrast, the mean +/- standard deviation unbound cefonicid renal clearance increased from 5.7 +/- 2.1 to 10.8 +/- 1.6 ml/min per kg with time (P less than 0.02). This study may partially explain the poor results obtained with single daily dosing of cefonicid in endocarditis. Dosage regimens of certain antimicrobial agents with high, saturable serum protein binding and extensive renal tubular secretion may be most appropriately designed based on unbound drug pharmacokinetics.

Academics with scientific degrees are significantly outnumbered in senior positions across universities, schools and further education centres in the UK.
According to data released by HEFCE, only 55% of all academics come from a humanities background whereas the same community makes up 75% of academic leadership.
Given the UK has twice as many departments in arts, humanities and social sciences than it does in STEM subjects, the limited number of scientifically trained department heads is hardly surprising.

Passion for education
Leona Trimble's life is going in ever-increasing circles.
The new North Otago president of Rural Women New Zealand loves that her role feeds directly into another she is devoted to. Both connect to a third volunteer endeavour, and all encompass her commitment to education.
Mrs Trimble grew up on a farm at Four Peaks, Geraldine. Having trained as a teacher, she was a nanny overseas then secured her dream job – correspondence school tutor at Haldon Station in the Mackenzie Basin. She was there for six years, with "the time and freedom to teach those kids life skills".
She also met her future husband, Shane Trimble. They now have four children – Shannon, James, Angus, and Kate.
After Mrs Trimble's father died, she and her two sisters turned the family farm into a pig and deer operation. When it was sold, the Trimbles bought a 171ha sheep farm on the outskirts of Hampden 10 years ago and turned it into a deer farm. Nearly three years ago, they decided to sell their livestock
and lease out the farm. That freed them up to spend more time with their children.
She joined Rural Women New Zealand upon arriving in Hampden and used her "passion and drive" to boost its membership with contacts she had made at the local school.
She became the Hampden president and attended the Growing Dynamic Leaders course in Wellington in 2014.
"I loved meeting like-minded people."
They motivated her to move up to the organisation's next level, taking on the North Otago presidency. Further advances were possible in the future, without losing the "hands-on" aspect of helping others. Mrs Trimble was looking forward to planning courses like the one that gave her so many benefits.
Her teaching and rural women experience led her to the Life Education Trust, where she has been a Coastal Otago trustee for nearly two years. The charity uses the character Harold the giraffe to guide children on health and tolerance, reaching 10,400 children in the area last year.
When rural women elected to make Life Education their national project for 2016, everything fell into place for Mrs Trimble.
"I was really chuffed. It lit the fire again. I keep throwing kindling on!"
Mrs Trimble has also been co-opted to serve a third term on the Hampden School board of trustees.
EDITOR'S NOTE: "Leona has a passion for her family, rural life and the community, each of which she has successfully intertwined into everyday life. I don't think busy even starts to cover it!" – Melanie Tavendale

At Grace Church we've recently used this as part of our Genesis series. When faced with the reality of humanity's cosmic treason in Genesis 3, it is remarkable that God should continue to show kindness to us. The promise of a serpent-crusher and the provision of being clothed through sacrifice point us forward to Christ and remind us that though 'our sins they are many, his mercy is more'.
"Are not you amazed sometimes that you should have so much as a hope, that, poor and needy as you are, the Lord thinketh of you? But let not all you feel discourage you. For if our Physician is almighty, our disease cannot be desperate and if He casts none out that come to Him, why should you fear?

This programme provides an effective framework for anyone working with parents, infants and toddlers from pregnancy through to nursery. It is particularly aimed at addressing gaps in provision for families with increased vulnerability due to factors such as parental mental illness, deprivation and trauma. The programme forms part of NSCAP's CPD portfolio and is underpinned by a programme of impact evaluation which has already indicated the transformative potential which this type of experience-based learning can have on practice at work.
The 12 week course is delivered on Wednesday afternoons, in two five week blocks plus two group consultations in week 6 & 12. The aim of the consultations is to help embed the learning into practice.
The course aims to help participants identify and address difficulties in the parent-infant relationship particularly where presentations of emotional difficulties or neglect are present, and to support participants' capacity to use their professional skills in this challenging area.

Gay marriage bill hits snag in U.S. Senate, no vote until after elections
U.S. Senate votes on legislation protecting gay marriage on Thursday were put off until after the Nov. 8 congressional elections, as negotiators failed to win enough Republican support to ensure passage.
The delay dashed the hopes of advocates who had sought prompt action on a bill already passed by the House of Representatives that would ensure protection for same-sex and interracial marriages.
The move came after weeks of closed-door talks between a small group of Democratic and Republican senators who looked at ways to amend the House bill in order to attract at least 10 Republican supporters who would join 48 Democrats and two independents.
The U.S. Census Bureau in 2019 estimated that there were 543,000 same-sex married couple households and 469,000 households with same-sex unmarried partners living together.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is "extremely disappointed" that there were not at least 10 out of 50 Republicans willing to come forward to support the gay rights legislation, spokesman Justin Goodman said in a statement.
Goodman added that Schumer nonetheless is "100% committed" to holding a vote this year. Schumer had hoped to set up a first procedural vote on the legislation on Monday.
Senators leading the negotiations issued a statement saying that they needed additional time to work on the bill. "We are confident that when our legislation comes to the Senate floor for a vote, we will have the bipartisan support to pass the bill," said Democratic Senators Tammy Baldwin and Kyrsten Sinema and Republicans Susan Collins, Rob Portman and Thom Tillis.
Earlier, Baldwin told reporters that a bill will be put to a vote following the elections.
Joni Madison, the interim president of LGBT civil rights organization Human Rights Council, called for the bill to be brought to the floor for a vote "at the earliest possible moment," calling the delay disappointing.
"Marriage equality - for both LGBTQ+ and interracial couples - is not and should not be a partisan issue, and to treat it as such is an insult to the millions of families who are impacted," Madison said in a statement.
The thinking behind the delay is that following the midterm elections Republican senators will feel freer to back the legislation at a time when any voter backlash would be two years away with the next elections.
"If they think that improves their chances of passage, that's their prerogative," Republican Senator John Cornyn told reporters, adding that he would vote against a bill codifying same-sex marriage into law.
The Senate's failure to win sufficient Republican support for a bill came after the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives in mid-July passed such a measure with the backing of 47 Republicans.
Schumer has been careful to give negotiators -- and wavering Republicans -- the space they needed to put together a bill that would succeed, rather than just force senators to go on record for or against but result in a failed vote.
Over the past several days, the small group of senators and their staffs worked on an amendment designed to protect the "religious liberty" concerns of some Republicans.
But some supporters of the bill said the real snag was that there just were not enough Republicans willing to back any such bill, especially six weeks before the elections.
"The Republicans need to stand up and explain why they don't want to vote for equality among all human beings and the right to marry the person you love," Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren told reporters upon hearing about the delay.
Republican Senator Rob Portman told reporters, "We were very, very close" to moving toward passage of a bill.
The push to enact a federal law recognizing gay marriage arose after conservative U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in June wrote that the same logic that led the court to overturn the national right to abortion could also lead it to reconsider its earlier decision legalizing same-sex marriage.
Early on, Senator Mitt Romney was one of several Republicans saying there was no need to tackle such legislation after the Supreme Court ruled in 2015 that the right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples.
The court in 2015, however, was markedly less conservative than the current high court.
Supporters of the legislation fear that the delay - the second in two months - could see support further erode, especially if Republicans win in November elections.

An Art History Mystery with No Shortage of Sleuths
Historians in the News
tags: statues, art history, digital history, public engagement
"Is it a '5' or a '6'? " a New York Times headline asked readers several days ago as the article detailed an art history dispute that is roiling the curatorial ranks. It was the kind of question that inspired the detectives among our readers. The story also sparked a debate among readers, akin to 2015's viral blue dress or gold dress discussion, that highlighted how two people can look at the same image and see very different things.
This dispute revolves around a bronze statue titled "Bathing Venus" that is being presented as a newly discovered artwork by the venerated Italian sculptor Giambologna and exhibited in Florence, Italy.
But several experts argue the piece is actually a copy of another Giambologna statue, currently in the Getty in Los Angeles. They say "Bathing Venus" was made a century later by an obscure Swedish bronze maker. The debate turns, in part, on whether a number inscribed on the sculpture is read as a "5" or a "6," making the year of the Venus's creation 1597 — or 1697, long after Giambologna's death, which would make it much less valuable.
