You are probably thinking.. "I thought this was just about nutrition and exercise"
Your journey is so much more than these basics, we are here to help you delve into both the physical AND Mental side of health and fitness.
What we have discovered after talking to hundreds of people about changing their health and fitness is that they tend to get little lost trying to figure out their goals. Finding out what is really important to them and WHY they want to achieve it.
What is it we want and why do we want it?
endless changing lifestyle trends. The list goes on and there is no one size fits all.
Don't feel like you need to fall into ONE category or follow someone else's highlight reel, STOP being influenced and start thinking for yourself.
We've noticed our clients who have consistent success, know the importance of consistent effort and clarity on their why.
✓ Don't be fooled by others highlight reels – stop following people that make you feel like you are not enough, or trying to keep up. Invest that time into yourself will be the most valuable action you can take.
✓ Live the fundamentals – we all know the basics, drink water, sleep well, move your body and eat well. If we start doing these things consistently the ripple effect is huge.
✓ Be flexible – It's real life, sometimes we get thrown a curveball and you've just got to go with it. Embrace the moment, then let it go and pick up where you left off the next day. A curveball doesn't have to be a major disaster, it can be as simple as things not going how you planned, still let it go and get back on track the next day.
This modern world has got us constantly switched on, always contactable and connected. This constant state of being connected has its downside of forever feeling you are running behind, which can leave you in a constant state of stress.
If your body is in a constant state of stress, feeling worried or anxious about your never ending to-do list, the multiple places you need to be at once, or for other peoples wants and needs this leaves our body no choice but to run in "fight or flight mode".
Tired, lethargic and sometimes moody are emotions you may not even recognize you are having as they just become the norm. Not to mention to state your body's adrenals or cortisol levels, which pushed too far can really set you back on achieving your goals whatever they may be.
✓ Returning to the present moment can eliminate almost all of these factors. Finding forms of meditation that force you to stop. For some it is still meditation, guided or silent, for others its active in the form of intense aerobic exercise, swimming, or being grounded to the earth. Whatever your form is – find it and allow yourself this act of self love.
✓ A technique that we have found works wonders no matter what the situation - When you feel stressed take 5 deep breaths, 5 second count in, 5 second count out. Then re-evaluation your situation. We are very privileged in this life and not everything is as urgent as it first seems.
"Small hinges move large doors" ?
Don't underestimate the small stepping stones towards your goals that you make each and every day.
If you ask yourself the same question 5 times, you come to your real WHY.
When you have found the true drive to your WHY, you are on your way to long term success.
For example, when you choose to eat a nourishing meal instead of take out, not only are choosing the choice aligned with your long term goal, you empower yourself with the inner feeling of accomplishment.
That small, but significant win!
The way you choose to look at decisions relates directly to the outcomes.
Using the above as an example, choosing a nourishing option aligned with your goals vs telling yourself "I'm not allowed xyz because I'm 'on a diet' " .
Every time you choose a positive step towards your goal is another step forward.
There is no better way to empower yourself than to surround yourself with like-minded people.
We are all on our own journey's to the best version of ourselves possible and want nothing more than to stand with you on yours.

The Beatles, Bowie and Taylor Swift top Qobuz 2021 Hi-Res Audio streaming charts
by The Luxe Review Editors
High-resolution music streaming and download service Qobuz has unveiled its 50 most-streamed titles and top 10 most-streamed albums, as well as its top 10 most played bands and female and male artists of 2021, and classic acts are very much to the fore.
Perhaps unsurprisingly The Beatles top the list of the most played bands of 2021, with Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, London Grammar and The Rolling Stones making the top 5.
Indie pop band London Grammar had the most streamed album of the year with Californian Soil and their song of the same name was the second most streamed track of 2021.
Taylor Swift took first place in the Top Female Artists list, closely followed by Norah Jones, Diana Krall, Lana Del Rey and Joni Mitchell. Taylor Swift's re-recordings Fearless (Taylors Version) and Red (Taylors Version) have helped her reach the top spot. With plans to bring out a further four re-recorded albums, there's clearly more chart domination to follow.
"Unmissable stars and young talents meet in the Top Female Artists of 2021 in a collection of musicians who could not be more eclectic. Between the pop mixed with folk of Taylor Swift and the sensual jazz of Norah Jones, the vintage soul of Amy Winehouse, the melancholic pop of Billie Eilish and the intimate folk of Joni Mitchell, the Top Female Artists of 2021 may differ in many ways but they all show a common theme in expressing themselves through the music they have made," says Marc Zisman, Chief Editor at Qobuz.
Perhaps unsurprisingly The Beatles top the list of the most played bands of 2021…
London Grammar had the most streamed album of the year, says Qobuz
When it comes to Top Male Artists, David Bowie took the top spot with Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Van Morrison all in the top 5. German-British composer Max Richter was the second most streamed male artist of 2021. His album, Exiles released this year, proved a hit with Qobuz listeners with the track 'Richter: Exiles' being the most streamed of 2021.
Marc Zisman, Chief Editor at Qobuz: "Five years after his death, David Bowie, whose albums are almost all available in Hi-Res quality, remains as popular as ever on Qobuz. It is also no surprise to find Neil Young in the Top Male Artists of 2021, his music has shown itself to be timeless and Young himself is passionate about Hi-Res. This year also marked 30 years since the acclaimed Jazz musician Miles Davis died, yet his discography (of which is almost all available in Hi-Res) has been proven to possess an eternal modernity. Finally, it is Max Richter's neo-classic which makes a remarkable entry into the Top Male Artists of 2021."

Armenian Heritage
Lessons in Social Justice from St. Nersess the Great
Categories Armenian Heritage, Back to the Sources, Feasts and Saints, Resources
Catholicos Nersess the Great in a Liturgical Scene Painted by Sahak Vanetsi in 1672. Reproduced in Armenian Miniature Portraiture
Catholicos Nersess I, known as St. Nersess the Great, lived in the fourth century and was Catholicos from 353-373. He clearly would not have used the language of "social justice," today a phrase meant to invoke wide-ranging demands for a more just and equitable collective arrangement of the world. In fact, scholars have argued that our idea of "society" itself is quite different from ancient collective communities, whether the Greek city-state or China under the Han Dynasty. Plato, greatly interested in the concept of justice, nevertheless understood justice as inextricably bound to the organization of the polis, the Greek city-state. The concept of justice has a long history, including classical philosophy and modern political arguments as well as within Christian thought itself. Social justice, then, as an argument for equitable treatment of black Americans or wealth redistribution to ameliorate poverty, was not the concern of ancient philosophers or early Armenian Christian hierarchs (Though there is a translation of some of St. Basil the Great's homilies as On Social Justice, where both community and justice are discussed, none of the sermons themselves have "On Social Justice" as a title, and the concerns of the sermons are not fully identical to our contemporary understanding of "social justice"). To talk of "Lessons in Social Justice from St. Nersess the Great," then, is a clear anachronism, something placed into a time period where it doesn't belong.
Yet anachronism can have its place, especially for those like Armenian Christians who are self-consciously placed in an ancient tradition that must navigate the present. As we have argued before, tradition is not an unchanging past forced onto the present, but rather an inherited set of tools for making sense of that present. A living, vibrant tradition does not obsequiously repeat what has been done, but make takes the inheritance (in Armenian ժառանգութիւն, a word that could also be translated as legacy) as a treasure, a գանձ, that helps the Armenian Christian navigate the world in which she lives. In some sense, the interpretative techniques of Armenian Christianity itself makes this clear: typology uses one thing to make sense of another. Jonah is a type of Christ, Vartanantz makes sense because of the Maccabees, and Catholicos Karekin Hovsepian's appearance at the Battle of Sardarabad was so powerful because of Vartanantz. The expansive world of Armenian commentary, from Biblical exegesis to liturgy to history, is a constant attempt to use saintly exemplars, Biblical narratives, earlier history, and Jesus Christ Himself to make sense of the present and to make relevant earlier lessons and events.
Even if our contemporary language of social justice— a phrase which emphasizes the desire for a more equitable society—is not how St. Nersess the Great would have described his project, there is no doubt that his conduct and life can help us make sense of our present. After months of social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the brutal murder of George Floyd at the hands of police officer Derek Chauvin led to mass demonstrations and protests against police brutality and the deep, structural racism still pervasive in America. How should we, as Armenian Christians, respond to the killing of an unarmed black man at the hands of a white police officer? To the subsequent protests? To the question of racism? Without treading into partisan American politics, we can insist that our Armenian Christian գանձ, our inherited ժառանգութիւն that is the tradition of the Armenian Apostolic Church can and should guide our response. The teachings of Jesus Christ in the Gospels, the collected wisdom of centuries of Armenian Christian writings, and the Armenian experience of racially and religiously motivated Genocide should all inform how we think about racism, state violence, poverty, and all the deep problems facing us collectively today.

On Social Justice: St. Basil the Great A set of homilies given by the Cappadocian Father St. Basil the Great. They address questions of wealth and poverty and remain remarkably relevant. Available from St. Vladimir's Seminary SVS Popular Patristic Series.
The epic histories attributed to Pʿawstos Buzand (Buzandaran patmutʿiwnkʿ) One of the most important early Armenian histories. It provides the most detailed account of the life and ministry of St. Nersess the Great. Translated with extensive commentary by Dr. Nina Garsoïan.

Many people have argued eloquently for an appropriate Christian response to racism in America. Similarly, there have been two important strains of Armenian reaction: one highlights the role of race in the Genocide while the other addresses insularity and racism within Armenian communities, including the Armenian Church, today. Here, we will do neither of these. Rather, in commemoration of St. Nersess the Great, whom the Armenian Apostolic Church celebrates this Saturday, we offer a brief glimpse into the inherited treasures of the Armenian Christian tradition that can help us navigate the present. Too often, we succumb to the idea that the Armenian Apostolic Church has nothing relevant to offer us when we confront contemporary crises of this magnitude. Perhaps the Church offers solace in individual suffering or a moral guide for us personally, but oftentimes we look elsewhere to help with contemporary issues and debates. The life and work of St. Nersess the Great should remind us that the Armenian Christian tradition is a source of sophisticated and powerfully relevant ideas and models.
As we wrote last year, Catholicos Nersess I came from the lineage of St. Gregory the Illuminator, and became Catholicos later in life, after an illustrious military career. All of our information about Catholicos Nersess comes from the early Armenian histories, with a particularly detailed account of his activity in the Buzandaran. As we have made clear, St. Nersess would not have used our ubiquitous phrase "social justice," but this is especially true because we have very little writing attributed to him. Only a handful of letters attached to his name survive in the Book of Letters, an important collection of theological correspondence. Most of these are written to, rather than from him. Yet the Buzandaran makes it clear that St. Nersess the Great offers important lessons for anyone interested in a just and equitable social order. The Buzandaran says that he indicated "the most suitable places to be set aside for the building of almshouses for the poor and to collect the sick, the lepers, the paralytics, and all those who suffered; leper-houses were designated for them, assistance and maintenance, as well as shelters for the poor." In essence, he created communal, "publicly funded" (or funded through the Church) hospitals and support centers for the sick and the poor.
If this activity itself is evidence of a profound commitment to the marginalized of the Armenian society of his day and to the creation of a more equitable arrangement in this world, the depictions of St. Nersess the Great in the Armenian histories also provide us with a few lessons in accomplishing this kind of work. First, Catholicos Nersess was remarkably humble. Though he had already led an illustrious career and came from an important family, he initially refused King Arshak's desire to make him Catholicos. In fact, he made up negative things about himself because he didn't think he was worthy of the position! Humility, of course, is perhaps the fundamental Christian virtue. If pride was the crux of Satan's fall and the heart of Adam and Eve's sin, then humility is the antidote to that original sin. Anania Sanahnetsi, who died in 1070 and was a vartabed at the Monastery of Sanahin (still standing in the Republic of Armenia), wrote in his Commentary on Matthew, discussing the Beatitudes, "Because pride is the source of all evils, likewise humility is the origin and source of all good things." Catholicos Nersess I displayed this foundational humility. In our own engagement with contemporary issues and debates, it behooves us to recall Nersess' humility as the origin of all good things. It is easy to think that we have all the answers, while it is much more difficult to sit with someone else's experience without immediately speaking from ours. Listening, trying to understand, and changing our behavior according to new information all take great humility.
Second, we see that he worked tirelessly an equitable Armenian society and for everyone he encountered. He poured his energy into concrete projects like Church-funded hospitals and places for the poor to eat and rest. In other words, he did not stop with humility and the reflective work that comes with it, but rather took action. He mobilized the resources available to him to support the most marginalized. Other leaders of the Armenian Church undertook grand building projects—beautiful forms of praise of God in their own right—but Catholicos Nersess the Great built and labored with the neediest in mind. This makes St. Nersess the Great a true saint and type of Christ, who Himself famously ministered to the most marginalized of His day. In other words, Christian faith is not just personal and aesthetic, but a communal endeavor that requires deeds. In our current moment, this is a profound reminder that it is not enough to make personal aesthetic changes, but that we must labor passionately for others.
Finally, we can note the opposition to St. Nersess the Great's work by the political powers of his day. Though he was appointed by King Arshak, Nersess' Christian moral convictions and unwavering support of the poor and needy led him to make important Church reforms that King Arshak did not like. As a result, King Arshak had Catholicos Nersess exiled. During this time, Khad, whom the Armenian Church celebrates alongside Catholicos Nersess this Saturday, served as Catholicos. After King Arshak's death, King Pap ascended to the throne and St. Nersess returned to his position as Catholicos. However, King Pap held unorthodox Christian views and also worried about the moral authority of Catholicos Nersess with the people. Ultimately, the King had St. Nersess the Great poisoned. St. Nersess therefore demonstrates moral conviction in the face of political pressure. He reminds us that Christian duty and moral conviction are sometimes at odds with dominant political trends or the state itself. Of course, there is a long tradition of Christian thought that stresses obedience to authority and temporal government. St. Nersess reminds us, though, that there is always a higher authority. As we navigate our world today, we should find strength in the Armenian Christian tradition, which, through figures like St. Nersess the Great offers examples and tools for our present. In St. Nersess, we have at least three important lessons regarding the desire for a more just world: that we should start from a place of humility, that we need to translate our aesthetic responses into concrete actions for the most marginalized, and that sometimes moral conviction must confront unjust temporal authority.

Confronted by disruptive change and worldwide economic turbulence, leaders at all levels across all industries and sectors find themselves ill–equipped to manage the challenges they now face. They must contend with chronic uncertainty, intense competition, personal burnout, and a new world order of global interconnectedness. Most leaders are poorly served by the prevailing paradigm that obsessively focuses on what we do to produce short–term results while sabotaging who we are as healthy human beings. Few have seen alternatives, until now.
In Grounded, internationally renowned CEO advisor Bob Rosen proposes a new approach to leadership that speaks to our better selves and is designed for any leader who grapples with the unrelenting and complex demands of today′s marketplace. Rosen argues that leaders at every level can become more self–aware, develop their untapped potential, and drive significantly better results for themselves, their teams, and their organizations. This groundbreaking approach is drawn from Rosen′s Healthy Leader model and highlights the six personal dimensions that fuel and refuel the world′s top leaders: physical, emotional, intellectual, social, vocational, and spiritual health.
Grounded is based on long–term research with hundreds of CEOs and leaders from around the world, and includes illustrative stories from a variety of organizations, including the Fire Department of New York, PricewaterhouseCoopers, the Lego Group, Ralph Lauren, and Medstar Health.
Now any leader can master the six dimensions needed to develop the stamina and strength to not only weather tough times but to achieve exceptional results.

Last fall, as I was playing with my youngest grandson, he was beaming up at me with a look of complete trust and joy in being alive. It hit me that I could not look back into his eyes and reflect the same hope and optimism about his future.
In that moment, I decided that I had to do something to ensure that his future — and therefore all of our futures — would be as safe, happy and filled with opportunity as he believed it to be. The important work that I had done raising children and building houses was no longer enough. I had to do more.
As a first-time candidate for office, my goal is to represent the people of Waldo County, not special interests and Big Money. I am running a Clean Elections campaign because I believe that the influence of money in politics is bad for Maine. Everyone should have equal strength to their voice.
Since March, I have knocked on more than 8,000 doors in Waldo County and have listened to the concerns of people from all walks of life. They tell me about the hardship of increased property taxes. They tell me about the lack of good paying jobs in Waldo County, the increasing cost of living and their concern for the future of the environment.
To solve these problems, we need to work together. This will require listening with respect to everyone's thinking and considering the experiences they bring to the table. This is what has worked in my family and in my business. It is how I will lead in Augusta.
I will work to restore fairness to our tax structure, so that the people of Waldo County see real tax relief. The tax cuts of 2011 favored the wealthy. Our current tax structure provides subsidies and loopholes to the largest corporations and the gap has widened between the rich and the rest of us.
Those tax policies also pressured the state budget into cuts that hurt some of the most vulnerable and shifted the burden onto local property taxpayers for town services and schools. I support tax policies that build our middle class, strengthen our communities with adequately funded town services, and fully fund the local schools.
We have tough economic issues to tackle here in Waldo County. As a small businessman, I have experienced firsthand the challenges we face in providing good paying jobs, keeping our best workers and growing our businesses. We need to increase the minimum wage to keep pace with the cost of living and build a skilled workforce so businesses can grow and prosper.
We can grow jobs and stimulate the economy right here in Waldo County. We must support small businesses by leveling the playing field, providing access to a skilled workforce and ensuring credit is available at favorable rates. We must invest in farms–a vibrant and critical piece of the local economy.
We must encourage innovation; giving our young people a reason to stay by providing real opportunities for good paying jobs right here in Waldo County. Opportunities like local food hubs, expanding MaineCare and investing in renewable energy — all rejected by our governor and his allies — would have added jobs here in Waldo County.
As a homebuilder, I know investing in renewable energy and efficiency will save Mainers money while also adding jobs and growing the local economy. The more we produce our own energy, and the more efficient we are in its use, the more stable and cheaper our energy will be.
This is also something we can do to reduce our nation's need to be involved in conflicts and wars around the world that are costing us precious lives and our tax dollars. We hold the future in trust for our children and grandchildren and they should not be forced to pay for our refusal to address climate change and ocean acidification. By acting now, we can ensure the world we pass on is something we can be proud of.
I believe that we still have the ability to create a great future. The obstacles are not a lack of resources but a lack of courage, political will and hope.
We no longer have the luxury of allowing our discouragement and apathy to stop us from taking action. That time has passed. Instead, I ask you to join me in deciding that the future is ours to create.
Jonathan Fulford, D-Monroe, is candidate for state Senate District 11, which covers all of Waldo County.

The "M" in Morocco
From Michigan to Marrakesh, nonprofit organizations around the world work to improve their communities. One class from LSA's Organizational Studies Program heads to Morocco to learn how nonprofits work abroad and bring those lessons back to the States.

In the United States, nonprofit organizations are primarily defined by what they are not: They are not part of the government; they do not return profits to their directors. They do, as a rule, exist to benefit their communities—however those communities are defined. Last spring, students in the International Nonprofits class in LSA's Organizational Studies Program studied how organizations operate at home and around the world, learning what similarities—and what differences—they have with American groups.
For class, each student focused on a specific country, researched how nonprofit organizations are structured and organized there, and shared what they learned with the rest of their class. Halfway through the semester, all of the students trained their attention on Morocco—not because they were going to write a paper or give a presentation, but because they were going to Morocco in May.
"Because Morocco is a place where so many cultures intersect, the nongovernmental organization presence there is exceptionally rich and varied," says Professor Victoria Johnson, who teaches the International Nonprofits class. "It's a good place to find different examples of the way such organizations can work internationally."
In the afternoons, students had the chance to see parts of Rabat including architectural marvels from some of the city's notable mosques, the Andalusian Gardens, and the oldest parts of Rabat in the medina quarter.
In Morocco, the class's 11 students worked at one of three locations: the special-needs ward of an orphanage, a hospital, and a school that teaches English to adults. And students didn't just observe workers or push paper: They were there to serve.
LSA senior Heather Kendrick worked at the orphanage. She and the other students began each day by bathing more than 40 different people from the ages of six to 40, all with severe physical and mental disabilities. None of the students were fluent in French or Moroccan Arabic, and they had to improvise communication with full-time nurses while helping lift, bathe, and dress disabled patients together in a very small space.
Next, students fed the patients breakfast before enjoying more leisurely activities such as playing with children outside and strolling with wheelchair-bound residents on sunny days.
"I loved that we focused on learning about a topic throughout the semester," says Kendrick, "and that we got to continue our educational experience in a very hands-on and involved way."
And because this part of their education was practical, the trip gave students a glimpse of what nonprofit work is often like.
"It was an extreme example of embracing a 'just do it' mentality," recalls Kendrick. "If you saw that help was needed, you just jumped right in no matter what the circumstance. As someone who wants to be a teacher, I am particularly thankful for the opportunity to work with groups of children with such diverse ages, abilities, nationalities, backgrounds, and languages. Now I'm able to take those teacher-student possibilities back to my classroom and recreate them."
In the afternoons, the students returned to what they called home base: a house in a residential neighborhood of Rabat where they reconvened to eat communal Moroccan lunches—vegetable tagine eaten with round flatbreads and couscous steamed over vegetables—before visiting Moroccan tourist sites and preparing for the next day's work.
Just before leaving Rabat, some of the students needed a day at the beach. They enjoyed the Atlantic ocean from its eastern side.
The community meals gave students a chance to discuss what they were seeing in the three Moroccan nonprofits where they were stationed. For LSA senior Jenna Fiore, who worked in the Children's Hospital, that process continued into her summer internship as a New Sector Alliance Summer Fellow. "I still notice things that remind me of our time in Morocco," she says, "and I have continued to learn from the trip by comparing the nonprofit systems I see now at my internship with those I saw in Morocco."
She adds, "I chose an international nonprofit class to learn about practices other countries use to address issues U.S. nonprofits also face because I hoped to find new ideas and perspectives I could bring back to the United States."
There are all kinds of benefits to an experience like the Morocco trip, Kendrick says, including an ability to compare problem-solving methods in American nonprofits with other approaches while building leadership skills. But another important takeaway from the trip wasn't professional, she says. It was personal.
"Part of what made our trip so memorable was that we emphasized the importance of being a team when we traveled overseas," Kendrick says. "It was a community-building experience, and there was always a component of our course that cultivated that. We worked together. We shared and supported one another academically and personally. And we evolved into better people throughout this experience."

The North Chilterns Group of Parishes comprises the three benefices of; Totternhoe, Stanbridge and Tilsworth; Kensworth, Studham and Whipsnade; Eaton Bray with Edlesborough which includes Dagnall.
Church of St Mary the Virgin, Eaton Bray with Edlesborough
North Chilterns Group of Parishes
The North Chilterns Group of Parishes came into being just over 30 years ago. It is made up of three groups of village parishes. These are:
Totternhoe, Stanbridge and Tilsworth;
Kensworth, Studham and Whipsnade;
Eaton Bray with Edlesborough which includes Dagnall.
Each of these groups has a full time vicar to provide for the spiritual needs of those communities and from the beginning the NCG has had the objective of bringing all the parishes together in faith and worship as well as socially. Its identity is portrayed in its logo (shown above). The logo has been embroidered onto a banner and this banner is displayed in each church on rotation throughout the year.
There are joint services at different times of the year and in addition Confirmation candidates from all the parishes learn about their Faith together. The NCG also runs a Joint Lent Course and organises a variety of events both educational and social.
Above all, our mission is to continue to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the rural communities we serve, through worship, teaching, witness and fellowship, using our Group and parish resources, including our parish churches, to the maximum possible effect.
As a group of small villages we believe we are stronger together - the challenge is, with God's grace, to build on that strength.
Read More about the North Chilterns Group
Please note: This addition content has not been updated for a number of years.
In 1976 a Deanery Pastoral and Re-organisation Committee was formed to recommend changes needed to address the decline in the number of priests and the lack of funds to pay them. At that time the above parishes boasted five incumbents but this number could no longer be sustained. A Working Party (The North Chilterns Working Party), with representatives from each parish, was established to study and discuss alternative proposals. One option was that these parishes could be looked after by Dunstable. However it was felt locally that ministry to our rural communities might be adversely affected if we became part of a town ministry. In debating the case for grouping these parishes, the options of either a Team or a Group ministry were also widely debated, both publicly and of course by the PCC's. At a public meeting it was agreed that a Group Ministry would serve the parishioners best.
The result of these deliberations and representations culminated in the formation of the North Chilterns Group of Parishes, the creation of a Group Council and the reduction of incumbent clergy to three. This was no mean task as it meant Totternhoe being united with Stanbridge and Tilsworth; Kensworth being united with Studham with Whipsnade; and Dagnall being moved from the care of Studham to Eaton Bray with Edlesborough, to create three Benefices.
The North Chilterns Group (NCG) was confirmed by Her Majesty in Council in November 1982 and is therefore a legally appointed Group Ministry. The scheme provided for the formation of a Group Council with one representative and one deputy from each parish and a further representative from Dagnall. It also provided for the setting up of a Clergy Chapter comprised of the incumbents of the three benefices.
Historic Role of the NCG
Since 1982 the NCG has developed into a well co-ordinated group. From the beginning it agreed with all PCC's that it would centrally fund the expenses of visiting clergy who were conducting services in the absence of any of the three incumbents. To do this it established a central fund from per capita levies on each parish and appointed a treasurer to manage this. The NCG has since taken on the funding of the Joint Confirmation Course and procured various pieces of equipment for use by member parishes.
The NCG, from the outset, set itself the objective of bringing all the parishes together in faith and worship as well as socially. It has an identity, portrayed in its banner which displays the NCG logo and this is displayed in each church on a rota basis throughout the year.
There are communal acts of worship at Advent, Christmas and the anniversary of the inauguration of the NCG in July. In addition to the Joint Confirmation Course, the NCG also runs the Joint Lent Course.
Believing strongly in social contact the NCG has organised many events over the last 25 years. These include:-
Annual Socials; PCC get-togethers; coach outings; Talking Point (discussion meetings); Annual Fun Walk; and various others on an ad hoc basis.
The NCG Today
In 1982 the NCG Council published a declaration, which in essence, was a statement of its objectives. In the year 2000 it agreed with all PCC's the following Millennium Mission Statement:-
As Anglicans, to continue to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the rural communities we serve, through worship, teaching, witness and fellowship, using our Group and parish resources, including our parish churches, to the maximum possible effect.
The incumbents of the participating benefices are placed under a duty, by virtue of the Group Ministry, to assist each other so as to make the best possible provision for the cure of souls throughout the area of the Group.
As a Group, to do the things together that are best done together, and to do the things separately that are best done separately, but in all circumstances to do them well, and in supportive co-operation with each other.
To work, as far as is possible, with other Christian denominations within the Group area.
To continue the centuries-old stewardship of our buildings into the new millennium, so that they will continue as fit and ready centres of prayer, teaching, witness and fellowship for our communities in succeeding generations.
The population served by the North Chilterns Group of Parishes today is tabulated below.
Eaton Bray with Edlesborough 7500
Totternhoe, Stanbridge and Tilsworth 3900
Kensworth, Studham and Whipsnade 3250
In 1976, when the original review took place, the population was significantly less. Large building programs have taken place in the villages since then, particularly in Eaton Bray, Edlesborough and Studham, with significant infilling in Stanbridge and Tilsworth. With this population increase there has, necessarily, been an emphasis on developing an active lay involvement within the ministry. A number of candidates have completed the MTS course and practiced within the NCG. There are currently three candidates training to be Readers.
Joint North Chilterns Group Mission
Since the formation of the NCG in 1982 Confirmation courses have been organised annually on a joint basis. Courses are well subscribed and well attended and have been managed by the clergy with a significant contribution from lay Readers.
Similarly, since 1982, Lent has been a shared act of worship, sometimes with a guest leader and sometimes led by each parish each week. This practice has been welcomed by parishioners and found to be profoundly meaningful.
Celebrated annually together using a different church each year.
Inaugural Service Anniversary
After the creation of the NCG in November 1982 it was agreed that the existence of the group should be formally celebrated. Accordingly on Palm Sunday 1983 an Inaugural Service was held in Edlesborough Church where the Diocesan Bishop preached and blessed the North Chilterns Group of Parishes. An anniversary service has been held every year since and continues to be a deeply moving act of worship and celebration and never fails to fill the church.
The Basis
The Working Party formed in 1976 to look at the future for these rural parishes in the light of reducing numbers of clergy studied and concluded in 1981 that a Group Ministry would best serve the needs of the Christian congregations worshiping here.
A Team Ministry was considered and rejected. Most importantly an association with the Dunstable Team Ministry was strongly felt to be wholly inappropriate. It was felt that, whilst some aspects of ministry are undoubtedly common to both urban and rural parishes, there are, however, significant differences. Incumbents having similar ministries are better able to support each other than those in dissimilar ones.
The NCG with its established central funding enables it to provide relief priests to ensure that services are maintained in all benefices. Further, it allows for the sharing of expertise and/or workload for Confirmation and Lent; mission objective 3
�As a Group, to do the things together that are best done together, and to do the things separately that are best done separately, but in all circumstances to do them well, and in supportive co-operation with each other�.
The Clergy Chapter itself is a source of strength, prayer, common wisdom and focus for ministry within the Group; mission objective 2
�The incumbents of the participating benefices are placed under a duty, by virtue of the Group Ministry, to assist each other so as to make the best possible provision for the cure of souls throughout the area of the Group�.
The rural communities served by the NCG have grown in the last 20 years. They share, to a large extent, the national profile of active church membership but there are signs of Christian growth. The opportunity is clear and the essential basis for growth exists. Schools, Scouts, Guides, Brownies, Beavers, Rainbows all give the opportunity to educate and involve the young. Benefice and NCG social activities provide the opportunity to attract their parents. This is happening.
It was an original objective of the NCG to keep all of our church buildings open and active. This has been achieved. Lay ministry has been encouraged and developed in support of the stipendiary ministry and continues to develop. The infrastructure has been healthily maintained and now, with the maintenance of three full time clergy can be viewed as a very promising springboard for the further growth of Christian life in the NCG.
The challenge is, with God's grace, to Build on Strength

The Mental Health Service Act (MHSA) passed in 2004 with the vision of transforming behavioral health systems to provide state-of-the-art, effective, culturally responsive services that promote recovery, wellness and resilience. These MHSA funded services should be accessible to individuals with severe mental illness, children with serious emotional disorders and their families, and individuals at risk for behavioral health issues. MHSA imposes a 1% tax on personal income over $1 million, translating to an average of about $25.5 million for San Mateo County annually over the last five years, through fiscal year 2016/17.
How are MHSA Funds allocated in San Mateo County?
Community Services & Supports - funds direct services to individuals with mental illness, such as the Full Service Partnerships provided through Telecare, Caminar and Mateo Lodge.
Prevention and Early Intervention - funds efforts to recognize the early signs of mental illness, reduce stigma and improve early access to services. These dollars have funded services such as San Mateo County's Crisis Hotline, Health Equity Initiatives, Suicide Prevention Committee and Mental Health First Aid training.
Innovation - is earmarked for projects that allow counties to develop new approaches to improve the quality of services and increase access among underserved communities. Total Wellness, San Mateo County Pride Center, Health Ambassador Program for Youth and the Adult System of Care Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics were all created with the support of Innovation funds and are increasing access to our services. Innovation funds provide the opportunity for counties to deliver inventive, customized solutions.
MHSA dollars are leveraged virtually everywhere in San Mateo County's BHRS system and community network of care.
See a full list of the San Mateo County MHSA funded programs and activities for FY 17/18.
Funding for the primary MHSA components above are subject to a three-year reversion period, meaning that if the funds are not spent within three years of receipt, counties are required to return them to the state's mental health services fund, where they will be redistributed among counties in future years. All of San Mateo County's MHSA funds have been allocated and are scheduled to be distributed over the next three years, with the exception of Innovation funds (see below).
The process for determining how these funds are spent is deliberate and inclusive. Under current state law, the local mental health agencies must comply with a number of requirements to ensure that their spending is appropriate.
For example, state law requires each local mental health agency to prepare a three-year plan that details how it will use MHSA funds. Following a period for public review and comment by community stakeholders, the local mental health agency's county board of supervisors must approve its plans. Thus, it can sometimes take several months to complete the entire process.
Counties must first conduct an in-depth stakeholder process, known as the Community Program Planning process, to assess needs, develop strategies to meet them and determine their prioritization.
In San Mateo County, the assessment begins with gathering information through forums and town halls, from key stakeholders such as clients, family members, community members, providers and partners. The findings are presented to the MHSA Steering Committee and stakeholders, which then develop strategies to address the needs and gaps in services. The strategies are prioritized by the MHSA Steering Committing through a formal prioritization process.
The final plans are presented to the Mental Health and Substance Abuse Recovery Commission (MHSARC), who initiate a 30-day public comment period. Finally, the Board of Supervisors approves the plans and we can start putting that money to good use. In the years since MHSA implementation, we've learned that this thorough stakeholder input process takes time.
Innovation funds however, are subject to an additional layer of approval, which means an even lengthier process. A call for innovative ideas is issued, requesting interesting and inventive ideas from agencies and community members. These ideas are prioritized by the MHSA Steering Committee, fleshed out into full proposals and then sent through the Mental Health and Substance Abuse Recovery Commission (MHSARC) for a 30-day Public Comment period, the Board of Supervisors for approval and the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission (OAC) for final approval. If the proposal is rejected by the OAC, we must adjust the plan and go through the local approval process again – all while the three year-reversion clock continues to tick away. See the complete, step by step process.
If that all sounds a bit complicated, it's because it is. As noted in the recent state audit, a lack of state oversight and communication has made this process difficult for counties to understand- let alone the public.
While the state has not yet developed a process to recover reversion dollars, many counties have been left with funds that are technically subject to reversion – in particular, Innovation dollars – due to the lengthy approval process. Here in San Mateo County, a little over $3.8 million in Innovations funds are currently subject to reversion.
Fortunately, recognizing the need for change in the approval and spending process, the State has introduced legislation enacting a one-time allowance for counties to spend funds subject to reversion. The legislation allows counties to submit a plan by July 1, 2018 to spend these funds by June 30, 2020. It also includes adjustments to streamline the approval process moving forward, including delaying the start time for the reversion clock to commence upon approval of a plan by the state, rather than when the funds are received.
While the oversight process has lacked clarity up until now, this development is encouraging. Setting the reversion time frame to begin only upon approval of plans will help us plan for the expenditure of funds within the designated time frame.

A thorough stakeholder input process on these technology innovations commenced in April 2018, and a plan proposal will be presented to the Mental Health and Substance Abuse Recovery Commission on May 2 for a 30-day public comment period before submission to the Board of Supervisors for approval. Attend an MHSA Innovation Community Input Forum or learn more about the process on the MHSA webpage.
San Mateo County will continue to meaningfully engage clients, families and diverse underserved community voices in order to deliver effective services to the community.

Michelle McCool held the position for 10 years until new editor in chief Joanna Coles came along. In December, soon after a reorganization of the staff that resulted in a handful of layoffs, McCool left to "expand on her fashion consulting career," in the words of a spokeswoman. Coles has more or less settled on her editorial team and is sticking by creative director Tracy Everding after her first choice, Paul Solomons, decided to stay back at British GQ. Kanai, well known by street-style bloggers, previously had stints at Teen Vogue, as a senior fashion editor, and Nylon.

Lewandowski named February Player of the Month
There has been plenty of movement in the Bundesliga this February and plenty of individual brilliance on which to shine a light.
Follow @Bundesliga_EN here
Four players' stars shone brighter than most, but you have chosen FC Bayern München's Robert Lewandowski as the standout player of the month.
The 27-year-old scored three times for the club - including another double in the DFB Cup at VfL Bochum - to keep his club on a steady course for a domestic double, scooping over 6,000 votes (56 per cent) in our Twitter poll in the process. He thereby fended off the challenge of Mats Hummels (Borussia Dortmund), Younes Belhanda (FC Schalke 04) and Filip Kostic (VfB Stuttgart).
Here's a reminder of why the Polish international takes the award this month, and why his competitors were in the running:

Dwight Wilson III, a graduate student at Ohio University, dunks the ball during the game against Western Michigan on Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2023.

Men's Basketball: Wilson drops career-high 31 in win over Western Michigan
By Will Cunningham
For the second time in less than two weeks, Dwight Wilson III treated the fans at The Convo to a career night.
He set a new career-high with 27 points against Kent State on Jan. 13, then surpassed himself with a 31-point gem in Tuesday's 88-76 win over Western Michigan.
"I've just been trusting in the work that I put in," Wilson said. "Obviously, I had a longer offseason than most and I told myself 'When I come back, I want to make more noise and be better than I was going into rehab.'"
Despite the fact that these two performances featured similar scoring outputs, shooting percentages and a lot of the same post moves that Wilson has used to devastating effect all season, they could not have had a more different impact on the games.
Against Kent State, Wilson scored 23 points in the first half, which allowed Ohio to take a halftime lead against the best team in the Mid-American Conference. But Kent State limited Wilson in the second half, and Ohio was unable to hold on.
On Tuesday, however, the Bobcats were locked in a tight struggle with Western Michigan at the half and Wilson had 11 points. He then put up a monster 20-point second half to help Ohio pull away and move to 3-4 in MAC play.
Time and again down the stretch in the second half, when the Bobcats were unable to get a stop on the defensive end, they went to Wilson in the post, and he made the Broncos pay.
He tortured Western Michigan's front line all night, as the three players who were sent his way, Titus Wright, Markeese Hastings and Owen Lobsinger, combined for 10 fouls over the course of the game, four of them coming on Wilson in the second half, three of those on made baskets.
"(Getting opponents in foul trouble) just makes me keep going," Wilson said. "I know that once I get them in the air, and I get contact, it's pretty much a foul every time. Once I see that they will call it, I just stick to it."
Wilson made 13-of-16 field goals Tuesday night, but none were more indicative of his improvement and importance to this Ohio team than his last three.
He hit a turnaround jumper in the paint, a shot that wasn't in his arsenal a few years ago, to tie his career high, then lost Wright with a beautiful spin move for points No. 28 and No. 29. Finally, to finish off his first career 30-point game, Wilson set a screen for Jaylin Hunter, who then found him diving to the basket for a two-handed dunk.
"Dwight Wilson was a man today," Ohio coach Jeff Boals said. "Just a phenomenal individual performance. Our guys did a great job of getting him the basketball in position to score, and he definitely delivered."
Wilson has delivered all season for Ohio, from getting others involved with his passing out of the post, to clutch shots against Michigan and Youngstown State, to big scoring performances when Ohio needed them most.
Tuesday night was the latest excellent performance from Wilson, but if the Bobcats are going to separate themselves from the pile in the middle of the MAC standings, they are going to need it not to be the last.
Wilson is the most important player on Ohio's roster, and he knows it.
"The better I play," he said. "The better we are."

BedPost: Piercings could be both your rise and your downfall in bed


This new, third edition of Museums in Motion tackles the challenge of updating a classic text on the history and relevance of museums with considerable elegance and aplomb. Important topics such as constantly changing information technologies, new approaches to inclusivity and accessibility, and the shifting nature of the museum profession cannot be tacked on to already existing chapters, but must be woven carefully into the substance of the text as an integrated whole. Juilee Decker faces this daunting task head-on, and the resulting book is a masterwork of research scholarship and professional practice that will prove invaluable to everyone wanting to improve their understanding of the functions, importance, and value of museums -- past, present, and future.
I am thrilled to see a thorough update of this classic book on museums and museum functions. Museums in Motion can once again serve as the essential introductory text for any museum studies course.

I give this book my highest praise—it combines the history and function of museums elegantly and the special highlights from the museum professionals give it an additional connection to the real world.
Museums in Motion is a core text for museum and curatorial studies courses and a valuable resource for anyone in the museum profession. The inclusion of provocative and inspiring reports on contemporary practice provides special value.
This edition includes 145 images.
This edition brings perspectives from museum professionals currently engaged in the field.

IQWiG supports the 'Jena Declaration'
The Institute no longer translates the term 'race' as 'Rasse' in its assessments
Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care
In September 2019, the German Zoological Society and the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena published a declaration entitled "The concept of race is the result of racism, not its prerequisite". This prompted the Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) to refrain from using the obsolete term "Rasse" in its future reports. So far, this term has occasionally been used in IQWiG reports to describe participants of clinical or epidemiological studies, as a literal translation of the English term "race", a classification still often used in study documents. Where this subgroup characteristic is relevant for the assessment (e.g. because a genetic disposition common in the population of origin can affect the course of disease or the effect of treatment), it is now translated as "Abstammung" (origin).
Factually incorrect and inextricably linked with racist traditions
As the authors of the Jena Declaration emphasize, there is no biological justification for using the typological construct "race" to classify human beings, such as into a white, black, or Asian race.
At the same time, the concept of race is inextricably linked with racism. Uwe Hoßfeld of the Institute for Zoology and Evolutionary Research in Jena, who co-authored the declaration, notes: "When referring to groups of people, one cannot 'save' the term 'Rasse/race' by detaching it from a supposed deformation by colonialist and racist ideologies. Its avoidance should be part of academic integrity. I am pleased that IQWiG has decided to do so, and I hope that many more scientific institutions will follow."

Paddy and B-Man
Let It Snow |3| Paddy and B-Man Punch Some Robovikings
Paddy and B-ManHumour
By Joe Kennedy Last updated Feb 22, 2016
That evening B-Man pulled up outside Paddy's house in the B-mobile. It was still light out, the artificially created clouds created by Dr. Viking's weather machine had dissipated leaving the city to bask in a warm summer's evening. Albeit with a much larger amount of melting snow than usual. B-Man walked in the front gate, closing it after him. He walked down the left hand side of the house, down a little gravel path and into the back garden. He knocked out a tune on the door of the Fortress of Sheditude and Paddy let him in, handing him a bottle as he entered.
"Wasdat?" asked B-Man nodding his head at a map of Limerick and the surrounding area while popping off the bottle cap with his lighter. The map had various colour pins stuck into it, distributed around the city.
"I'm trying to figure out where himself is keeping that weather machine. It can't be too far away from the city or else he wouldn't get in in time to rob the place."
"Yeah, I reckon your right, any idea whereabouts?"
Paddy frowned and took a sip from his own bottle. "No. I honestly don't have a clue."
They sipped their beers in silence for a while, staring at the map, willing it to give them an answer.
"Ah bugger this!" said B-Man "We'll never figure it out just sitting here."
"Yer right. We need somewhere that overlooks the whole city so we can spot where something weird is happening. Clarion?"
"Yeah, good reception up there. Can stream the Munster match on the phone."
"Grand so. Want to drive or will we take a wormhole?"
B-Man looked down at his almost empty beer, Krapperburger, 8.5%. "Eh, reckon I'll give the driving a miss. Could bring along a few more of these though."
Paddy grabbed a few bottles and the two made their way outside and locked the shed. With a thought, Paddy opened up a gaping rip in the very fabric of space and time, ignoring all the laws of nature known to man. Well, all men except Paddy. Our dashing heroes stepped through and out onto the roof of the Clarion hotel.
They took up their customary spots by a large heat vent and started on their second beer, scanning the cityscape as night descended.
"This is nice stuff" belched out B-Man. "What is it?"
"Tis porter. Made in Limerick ya know. JJ's Stout from Kilmallock. Good stuff alright."
"Kilmallock? Na Pairsaigh, like? Pack of bastards."
"Whys that?"
"Sure they're always winning the hurling, the pricks. Can't they just give the other teams a go? Take a dive now and again. Like Kilkenny should, the bastards. Poor old Tipp, gettin' to the final and gettin' the shit kicked out of them almost every year. It's not right."
"True enough, but would you not say that their continued success is down to the dedication they put into the sport? The endless hours of training and fitness work while still having to go to work or college?"
"Nah, they're a bunch a bastards. And another thing…" B-Man paused and started squinting in the direction of Cahirdavin, across the Shannon. Due to his amazing bee powers he was uniquely able to see disturbances in the earth's magnetic fields. He could see enormous amounts of magnetic energy streaming out from a structure on the summit of Cratloe Hill. The waves of energy were concentrating over Cahirdavin, right over Thomond Park where Munster was due to play New Zealand in a test match in less than thirty minutes.
"The bastard!" said B-Man venomously.
"Look there, above Thomond Park." B-Man pointed with his bottle for extra emphasis.
Paddy looked in the direction of the lovely stout. Storm clouds were gathering over the stadium, like a big dark grey bum pooping snow and lightening.
B-Man turned to Paddy, "It's coming from Cratloe Hill, from the big golf ball lookin yoke." He took another look, "Better get there now, it's only getting stronger and there's a full crowd in the stadium tonight."
Paddy nodded and opened a wormhole just in front of them. They exited outside the big golf ball thing and burst into action like the supermen they were.
Two Robovikings were standing guard outside. Paddy zapped one of them out over the Atlantic, while B-Man threw his bottle at the other, smashing him full force in the face, knocking him out. The duo reached the reinforced metal door and paused for a moment. Paddy put his finger to his mouth letting B-Man know to keep quiet. He rapped on the door a couple of times. A couple of seconds later a Roboviking opened the door and B-Man punched him in the nose, he staggered backwards and fell with a resounding crack against a trestle table laden with electronics.
The inside was packed with high-tech machinery and computers. A thick cable led from the machinery to the top of the structure, presumably the source of the magnetic energy. Also in situ were three more Robovikings and a very surprised Dr. Viking.
"FUCK YOU!" B-Man screamed his battle cry as he ran straight at Dr. Viking. A Roboviking jumped into the way and shouldered B-Man to the ground. Paddy whacked him in the head with a wicked right hook as the other two Robovikings rushed towards him. The one to his left managed to grab him in a bear hug from behind. Paddy popped out of existence and appeared behind his a fraction of a second later, he grabbed a laptop sitting on a bench and smashed it over the android's head.
From the ground B-Man leapt up and dived at Dr. Viking.
"The nicest day of the year you BASTARD!"
Dr. Viking let a high pitched scream and dashed to the side, the remaining Roboviking shielding him.
"Vy can't ve negotiate!" screamed Dr. Viking in terror as B-Man threw everything he could get his hands on at the Norwegian nincompoop.
Meanwhile Paddy walked up to the various pieces of machinery and was popping them out of existence and reappearing them somewhere close to the orbit of Neptune.
One of the Robovikings on the floor had regained consciousness and crawled behind the ruckus. It stood up and using its rocket feet smashed headfirst through the wall of the building. An escape route now open the remaining Roboviking picked up its master and rocketed off into the night at maximum velocity.
"BASTARD!!!" screamed B-Man at the retreating figures while running after them.
Paddy walked up behind him and laid his arm over B-Man's shoulders.
"Ah now, B-Man, calm down a bit. Sure look, it should be nice again tomorrow."
"I know! But… but… BASTARD!" he screamed at the sky again.
"I think I know what'll make you feel a bit better."
Paddy opened a wormhole and guided B-Man through; they emerged on the roof of Thomond Park on the halfway line just as the first kick of the game was taken. Paddy then popped in some beers from the fridge in the shed beside them and handed one to B-Man.
"Bad day alright, but sure let's make a night of it."
