Studying in Seventh-day Adventist schools demands a huge amount of effort and sacrifice. In fact, some people cite this fact when trying to excuse their indifference toward Christian education. Unfortunately, we share this challenge in the Inter-American Division.
Is the investment and effort by the church, the parents, and every student to study in a Seventh-day Adventist school worth it? Is there actually a difference between a young person studying at a Seventh-day Adventist school and someone who does not enjoy that privilege?
Well, life itself has provided me with an answer. At the same time, I have learned two great lessons that I will p illustrate by means of a life story. Indeed, the following testimony provides a glimpse into what mission-driven education in Inter-America’s Adventist universities is accomplishing for their students.1 Rightly applied, these lessons are closely related to the fulfillment of God’s mission for His church.
The eldest of eight brothers, Pablo Sáenz—or “Pablito,” as friends affectionately call him—began his life in a singular way. He was literally born into the hands of an uncle, since he arrived so suddenly that there was no time to call a midwife, even his father.
When Pablito was just 4, the exposure of long walks in torrential rain in Chiapas, southern Mexico, left him with a bad case of bronchitis. Throughout his childhood he suffered the weakening effects of that infection. In spite of it all, by 12 he had become a lay preacher who, regardless of distance, embarked on the mission of preaching in the many churches of the area.
This mission made young Pablo realize the importance of music in church. He decided to learn how to play the guitar. As he developed his musical talent, he made the most of it by praising God and sharing His Word. Pablo eventually recorded two albums, including some songs he composed himself.
It was the time he spent in Seventh-day Adventist schools, however, that left the most indelible mark on his life. Thanks to Adventist education, Pablo’s life, he admits, is today both different and truly meaningful. Here are two lessons that, in addition to his studies, Pablito has learned thanks to Seventh-day Adventist higher education.
The Lord, however, had other plans for him, which were definitely beyond Pablo’s own expectations. Just one year before he had to decide about going to college, Pablo began working as a colporteur. Consistent with God’s plan for his life, this service activity motivated him to decide to attend Linda Vista University in southern Mexico.
Attending a Seventh-day Adventist institution of higher learning was a dream come true, a joy that, when looking backward, however, produced mixed feelings in Pablo. On one hand, remembering the multiple setbacks he experienced in getting there left him with an aftertaste of sadness and nostalgia. On the other hand, he began to enjoy his current situation, as he got an ever-clearer picture of the promising future awaiting him on God’s side. Pablo felt his God was a God who had not only helped him to get where he was, but also Someone who would assist him in making his greatest dream come true—eventually make it to his heavenly home. There is no doubt that God’s plans for us are the best!
Depending on God taught Pablo that getting involved in the Lord’s plans not only helped him to master his health issues, but also to make him aware of anything else that might move him away from God’s plans for his life.
Pablo also learned to trust God when he set out to get financial resources to pay for his studies. His father had always opposed his son’s decision to study theology, and made it clear that he would not pay for his tuition. But not even this significant setback prevented Pablo from studying. He is now completing his theology degree at Navojoa University, another of the Inter-American Division’s esteemed academic institutions, this one in northwestern Mexico.
"Life is too short,” Pablo states. “Every minute is a privilege, and we must make the most of it for the sake of God and humanity. We should never forget to depend on the Lord’s help. This is something that I learned only after attending an Adventist school.
One of the priorities and ultimate goals in our schools is to foster a spirit of service and a deeper longing for eternity. We also understand that to educate is to redeem, and that God has specifically entrusted us with the task of working toward the redemption of souls. We must keep asking for His help to wisely carry out such a solemn responsibility.
1 The Inter-American Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church operates 14 universities. In those classrooms, God is daily manifested in the lives of their 19,608 students and 1,354 teachers, according to Gamaliel Flórez, director of the Education Department of the division (as of May 2013).
2 The author would like to thank God for allowing him the privilege of being part of the theology faculty at Navojoa University, where he also began his training for the ministry, and where during the past 10 years he has been able to meet many students with lives impacted by Seventh-day Adventist education.

What made you join The WOW! Awards?
We’ve been using The WOW! Awards since 2011 because they support our vision for policing. Providing an opportunity for members of the public to acknowledge and express their gratitude where staff have gone “above and beyond” and recognises the contribution of our staff in delivering high quality services.
How did you launch it to your teams?
It was felt that The WOW! Awards programme would assist in supporting the Durham Constabulary Aiming for Excellence (AFE) philosophy and assist in increasing morale, motivation and both personal and professional development.
In a time where the Constabulary faces significant challenges it was felt that staff recognition was imperative. The force then committed to The WOW! Awards and agreed that a clear Communication Plan would ensure that the programme would be rolled out to everyone and that those providing an outstanding level of service to either a member of the public or a colleague were appropriately recognised.
What impact has it had on your employees?
The WOW! Awards is now part of the Durham Constabulary culture and we have embraced the Awards as an accolade for our hard work and recognition to the organisation. The WOW! Awards are fantastic as our partners. Colleagues and members of the community are encouraged to nominate and contribute to the whole process. It is a holistic approach to recognition where victims, witnesses and our customers are at the heart of what’s important about providing a good service.
The WOW! Awards is a valuable tool for recognising each others strengths, in particular when our people go above and beyond, maybe a small gesture which has a huge impact on the person. It has created a ripple effect across Durham Constabulary as it’s not about being big and bold with gregarious efforts, it’s about making a difference to someone’s life by the way you make them feel; it has been quite contagious. This appears to be a common theme with the internal nominations, as without exception we are now appreciative of the small acts of kindness, humility and thoughtful appreciation of going that extra mile.
Our people don’t appear to go out on a limb to purposefully achieve a WOW! Award certificate; they just do it. If they are recognised, then that’s great. However, we do not believe that they are consciously motivated for their own gain. It is more about making a difference because they want to.
How is it benefiting management?
The WOW! Awards are an ideal tool to recognise our people. It is different to our Police Commendations as the focus is on our teams and communities. This is perfect for those people who may not be striving for promotion of rank or grade. The people that join our organisation do so as a vocation to make a difference.
It is fantastic when our communities and organisation are recognised for doing something together. It has real impact and means so much. Our leaders have really embraced The WOW! Awards, the annual Award Ceremony is always full of leaders who have nominated or who are supporting potential winners. This is a huge sign and symbol that they are important and that they are part of our culture, supporting and promoting our management philosophy of “Aiming for Excellence” in the delivery of excellent policing services in County Durham and Darlington.
Being nominated is a real accolade so it’s not just about winning. The nomination is recognition for a team or individual contribution in itself. The WOW! Awards is a credible tool for recognising our people. We can’t have monthly bonus awards or a financial incentive so it’s great to have something to show that our management really are noticing who is making a difference and to do something with that knowledge and understanding.
How are you using your nominations?
The WOW! Awards are immersed in Durham Constabulary. So much so that it is a valuable tool in relation to talent acquisition and retention. It has highlighted our quieter leaders and provided an opportunity to mentor and coach our future talent; without The WOW! Awards it could be that they may have continued their service without displaying their exceptional behaviours and qualities. Our Leadership Manager uses the Awards to spot future opportunities for our talent to shine, maybe speaking at different events, partnerships and sharing good practice across the organisation.
All of the information is collated for HR records to ensure that we retain excellence until retirement; it is a holistic process to capture every element of the recognition. Certificate winners are advertised across the organisation via our weekly electronic staff bulletin and recipient’s personal records are endorsed to permanently record this achievement.
In a time of budgetary challenges and doing more with less, it is more vital than ever to recognise our staff who are going that extra mile to solve problems, support our victims and work for our communities as part of their job, perhaps without realising they are doing something extraordinary and special.
How do you celebrate with your winners?
We enjoy a fantastic celebratory ceremony with winners involving inspirational guest speakers and members of the community that have nominated officers or staff. We have previously secured financing to offer each winner a place on an NLP (Neuro linguistic Programming) event, a four day internationally recognised qualification which is about them and for them. The organisation has benefited from the learning; however, that was not the motivation for providing such valuable tools for life. We ensure that The WOW! Awards is something which picks up momentum and keeps giving for all concerned. Durham Constabulary’s regular place amongst The WOW! Awards country-wide finalists at the annual Gala Ceremony in London is the icing on the cake, allowing our service providers to tell their story on a national stage.
What other benefits have you identified?
Increased motivation, a great energy around the organisation and community, HIMIC recognising the difference and other forces looking at what we do and why we do it.
Do you have any evidence of customer and/or employee retention?
The WOW! Awards have been an excellent investment for Durham Constabulary as they embrace our values, empower our people and promotes Durham Constabulary as a leading public sector organisation which is totally committed to providing the highest standards of service and support to its ‘customers’ as our victims and communities. The evidence raised through the nominations is confirmation to our staff that the Durham Difference is being noticed by the people who matter.

In an attempt to throw off rumor sites, Steve Jobs gave most of Apple's engineers a bucket of wooden blocks to play with. While some of them have built rather impressive geometric shapes, others have built elaborate castles and towers. These designs will soon flood the rumor sites while the real engineers are busy designing the next generation of computing devices, codenamed VANISH.
The core of the set of VANISH technologies is an advanced refractive polymer that bends light completely around itself, rendering it and everything inside completely invisible. An anonymous source close to the VANISH project whispered "Translucent plastics were just the first step in producing a computer that doesn't clash with Steve's, um, I mean the customer's furniture." Thanks to the revolutionary new case design, it won't matter what shape the computer is. "It could be shaped like a hand giving you the finger and nobody would ever know," explained our extremely reliable unknown source.
Included with the initial testing versions of VANISH computers will be a specially modified laser rangefinder. Since light striking the computer is bent around it, the rangefinder would give a much greater distance than would be expected if nothing were there. The detection system requires the user to point the rangefinder at a wall and scan across the room, alerting the user when an abnormally high distance is measured.
While the current detector is a handheld device, a headmounted version is planned. The goal will be to tie the detector in to a head mounted display that will mark the location of the computer, making it visible only to someone wearing the device. The big push for a headmounted device came after Steve Jobs took a recent tour of the VANISH development facility and tripped over a VANISH case that an engineer had thoughtlessly placed on the floor. Jobs is reported to have said "What the F***! Who put this piece of S*** here? You're fired!" before storming off with tears in his eyes.
Official Apple sources have denied any knowledge of the VANISH project. "That's completely absurd," an Apple spokesman responded. "You're getting sleepy, very sleepy. You'll forget everything you heard about VANISH. If you ever feel compelled to speak about VANISH, you will be paralyzed by fear of legal action." At the end of the interview, our reporter stumbled away in a semiconscious state, unable to remember where he parked his car.

The EVVY Awards gives me an amazing opportunity to practice in my field, while also allowing me to celebrate the incredible work done by my fellow Emersonians.
The EVVY Awards is an award show held here at Emerson to celebrate the accomplishments made by students throughout the school year. However, the EVVY Awards is not your typical student-run performance; it is actually the largest multi-camera, live switch event any school has to offer. The show is something like an EMMY or Grammy Awards with it's extravagance.
This year, I have joined the EVVYs Marketing team as Co-Gala Marketing Coordinator. Just having made the switch to the Marketing major here at Emerson, I am excited to get real life experience during my time here, and so early in my education as well. However, myself and the rest of the team cannot successfully do our jobs without funds, so please consider donating to the EVVY Awards this year. It truly is a beautiful show that brings so many students together to acknowledge the hard work they have put in.

Badger-Coulee Circuit Ct. Oral Arguments Monday!
The Town of Holland has challenged the Wisconsin Public Service Commission’s Badger-Coulee transmission project decision, where they issued a Final Order 05-ce-142 and permit for this transmission line.
Lots to read to be able to make informed comments… so let’s get to it!
Oh, and the interesting thing is that just this morning, I got a copy of the “Briggs Road-La Crosse Tap 161 kV Rebuild Study” Thank you, Chuck Thompson!
Dairyland’s Q-1 in the news today!
Dairyland Power Cooperative has completed an environmental study of its planned replacement of a high-voltage power line that runs through densely developed areas between Holmen and La Crosse.
Originally constructed in 1950 through farmland, the 161-kilovolt line known as Q-1D South now cuts through back yards and in some cases directly over homes that were built around and under the line as development pushed north along the Hwy. 35 and later Hwy. 53 corridors.
In an environmental assessment filed with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the La Crosse-based utility argues the line has become unreliable — it’s blamed for two sustained and five momentary outages between 2009 and 2014 — and is critical to serving La Crosse.
Dairyland plans to replace the existing H-frame wood structures with 95- to 115-foot steel poles and a larger conductor that will be capable of carrying more electricity.
The rebuilt line would cross as many as 14 dwellings that were constructed underneath the existing line. There are 42 dwellings and four businesses within the 80-foot right of way.
Despite the concerns of residents who fear negative health and safety impacts from the high-capacity lines, Dairyland argues that alternative routes would be too costly and problematic, and that state codes prohibiting the construction of high-voltage lines over dwellings don’t apply to its rebuild plans.
The nine-mile segment is part of Dairyland’s 70-mile Q-1 line, which connects its coal-fired generators in Alma and Genoa to La Crosse. Dairyland has rebuilt the other segments during the past decade.
Dairyland plans to begin reconstruction of the final segment in September and have the new line electrified in early 2017. It’s expected to cost about $11.9 million.
The project has generated strong opposition from residents who live along the line. Dairyland received 45 public comments when the plans were revealed last summer.
Ann Kathan and her family live in homes built within the right-of-way and have led the charge against the project. She argues the lines expose residents to harmful electronic and magnetic fields, which she fears will be worse with the new conductors.
Kathan also contends that with coal-fired generators making up nearly 90 percent of Dairyland’s generation assets, the company’s long-term viability may be shaky.
“Why would our community support the building of a line that will far outlive us when Dairyland will not?” she asks.
Thompson said the rebuilt line should have lower EMF readings “under normal load” but concedes the new conductors will be capable of carrying more electricity, which would increase EMF.
Dairyland minimizes the health risks of EMF.
Residents along the line have called on Dairyland to consider an alternate route, but Dairyland argues that is impractical.
The company decided against using one of its own 69-kv routes, arguing that would cost more than twice as much money, create new conflicts with residences and businesses, and result in an additional 17 structures exceeding airport height restrictions.
Dairyland also ruled out using nearby Xcel Energy towers because running lines on the same poles would increase the chances of both going down at the same time and because the cooperative might be forced to buy out residences under the Xcel route.
Burying the line would cost more than $100 million, according to Dairyland’s estimates.
Dairyland also notes that rerouting its line would require permission from the state’s Public Service Commission, which could take up to five years and add to the project costs.
Carol Overland, a Minnesota attorney who fought against two recent high-voltage transmission projects — CapX2020 and Badger-Coulee — says Dairyland is offering conflicting readings of the law in order to “have it both ways,” saying it is exempt from PSC regulations in some cases but subject to them in others.
She also contends Dairyland broke the Q1 project into segments — in violation of the National Environmental Protection Act — in order to avoid having to do a more in-depth environmental impact study.
Because Dairyland is replacing an existing line, the utility does not need state or federal approval for the project.
But in order to receive low-interest financing through the USDA, Dairyland must submit an application to the Rural Utilities Service, which requires the environmental assessment. Public comments on that document are being accepted through Wednesday.
The only other hurdle for the project is height restrictions around the La Crosse Regional Airport.
The existing ordinance limits the height of structures within three miles of the airport using a grid of 40- to 160-acre squares that climb like steps away from the runways. An aeronautical study is required for any proposed structure that would exceed that limit.
With more detailed geographical data provided by Dairyland, the new ordinance establishes higher height limits in a contour pattern — more like a ramp.
Airport Director Clinton Torp said the new height restrictions more accurately follow FAA guidelines and will cut down on the number of permits and variances the city must consider for structures that exceed the height limit.
Under the new ordinance, Dairyland estimates it will need variances for only three — rather than 24 — of its towers.
Torp said once the city incorporates Dairyland’s data into its GIS system, landowners and developers will be able to use an online map to see the exact height limit for any spot within the airport zoning district.
A committee of the La Crosse Common Council is scheduled to consider the ordinance change July 5.
Kathan said Dairyland has used its financial power to “side step” local ordinances.

wrath, because he knows that his time is short!" (Revelation 12:12 ESV).
Yes, the world is troubled, but I feel led to talk to you about something more personal. As Christ’s followers, we are troubled by what is taking place in the world, but many are also dealing with troubled hearts concerning finances, loved ones, relationships, poor health, aging, and uncertainty.
It was the night before Jesus’s crucifixion, and he was eating with his disciples; it is their last supper together. There is an air of depression in the room. These Christ-followers left a lot to follow him, giving up businesses and careers. Due to answering Jesus’s call, they had less time to spend with family—parents had aged and children had grown while they were away following Jesus. Now, Jesus is telling them that he is leaving them to go back to the Father. What will they do? How will they make a living? Who will hire them? Who will believe in them?
Credibility and security are leaving these Christ-followers as quickly as the brisk breeze blowing through the open windows of the warm upper room. Their hearts are troubled. Have you ever found yourself in this upper room of despair? I have, many times, and even more recently than lately. What are we to do?
Listen to what Jesus spoke to them on that distant, but yet familiar evening: "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also” (John 14:1-3 ESV).
So often we get distracted by the present, and we lose sight of our future destination. Our present may be less than desirable, and even troubling, but our future is utterly astounding. Jesus even gives us help to get through the present until our future is realized. You see, Jesus and his presence is the cure for troubled hearts. Let Jesus whisper in your ear these everlasting words: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid” (John 14:27 ESV).
Beloved, receive Jesus’s peace. Even now, allow his peace to flood you and fill your being. Take in his grace-given tranquility with slow and deliberate breaths that are as vital to your spirit as oxygen is to your body. Do not allow your heart to be troubled. Sense his presence; receive his peace.

Werewolf. Bar bouncer. Dad. Standard traits for any self-respecting, reformed criminal, living under the radar in Demos City. For Leon Gray, normal is what he wants—for himself and his not-yet-changed teenage daughter.
Playing bodyguard to crusading reporter David Hastings would totally ruin Leon’s peace, especially since Hastings has hired killers on his trail, pros who know how he takes his espresso in the morning, and where Leon lives.
The payoff, though, would fill up Shauna’s empty college fund, and in a battle between opportunity and ordinary, money wins. He just has to keep Hastings alive long enough to cash the check.
If only he didn’t have to save his daughter, too.
As a budding wolf, she’s piqued the interest of a local pack Alpha—one Leon knows will steal Shauna right out from under him the first chance he gets.
Leon isn’t about to give up on his daughter or Hastings, and will fight for both longer than it took Demos City to see werewolves as equals to humans.
He can only hope it doesn’t take a thousand years.

Chronicle Editorial Board Oct. 6, 2017 Updated: Oct. 6, 2017 5:20 p.m.
Republican Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee this week described Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, and White House Chief of Staff John Kelly as “those people that help separate our country from chaos.” While it might surprise some administration observers to learn that anything is separating the nation from chaos, Corker has a point about the thin gray line of generals and executives who constitute the embattled anti-entropy faction of President Trump’s Cabinet.
These top officials have contradicted Trump’s most chaotic instincts in remarkably public fashion. This week, for example, as the president escalated his disparagement of the multilateral agreement to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, Mattis, a former head of U.S. Central Command, told a Senate committee that the agreement enhances national security and that Trump should consider upholding it. The sentiment reportedly may be shared by another general working for Trump, national security adviser H.R. McMaster.
Meanwhile, in contrast to Trump’s reckless taunting of nuclear-armed North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, Tillerson said recently that U.S. officials are communicating with Pyongyang and trying to “calm things down.” That prompted a bizarre Twitter retort in which the president accused his own secretary of state of “wasting his time” on diplomacy — which happens to be not only the former ExxonMobil CEO’s job but also, given the likely consequences of another Korean war, the only approach that is not a waste of time.
Trump’s most seasoned senior staff has attempted to temper him in other ways. Kelly is said to have stanched a deluge of information and misinformation that was flowing through the Oval Office. Mattis appears to be slow-walking Trump’s bigoted assault on transgender service members. Gary Cohn, the National Economic Council director and a former Goldman Sachs CEO, took public exception to Trump’s defense of a racist rally in Charlottesville, Va.
The trouble with this cadre of reasonably competent senior officials is that it is precarious and not particularly numerous. Corker posited his chaos theory when asked about an NBC report that Tillerson had called Trump a “moron” in a meeting with other senior staff and nearly quit. That forced the secretary to hold a press conference this week in which he denied considering leaving his post — and failed to deny pointedly questioning the president’s intellect. Kelly, McMaster and Cohn also have been subject to periodic speculation about how long they can possibly last.
Most of the rest of Trump’s Cabinet, meanwhile, inspires less confidence. The aptly named Tom Price left the Health and Human Services Department headless last week after his seven-figure bill for flitting about the country on chartered jets was deemed too pricey, and five other Cabinet members have come under scrutiny for travel expenses. Another vast and crucial department, Homeland Security, has been under an acting secretary for more than two months due to Trump’s failure to nominate a successor to Kelly.
Perhaps a few skilled officials are separating the government from chaos, but it’s not by much.

Sandy Hook, Aurora, the Washington Navy Yard, Fort Hood, and Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C. These place names signify terrible tragedies that continue to prompt deep reflection from policymakers and the public about how to stop acts of mass violence in the United States.
Even as the total gun homicide rate has fallen, however, some of the worst acts of violence in U.S. history have taken place within the past decade. Half of the deadliest shootings — incidents at Virginia Tech, Aurora, Sandy Hook, Binghamton, Fort Hood (2009), the Washington Navy Yard and a church in Charleston — have taken place since 2007. In September 2014 the FBI released a report confirming that U.S. mass shootings had risen sharply since 2007: From 2000 to 2006, there were an average of 6.4 annually; from 2007 to 2013, the average more than doubled, rising to 16.4 such shootings per year.
For more on the relationship between firearm ownership and homicide rates, see this review for the National Academy of Sciences (more below), as well as this study in the American Journal of Public Health. There are multiple important questions about deterrence, restrictions, access to guns and criminal justice interventions that have yet to be resolved, as a group of the country’s leading researchers in the field concluded in 2007. Still, Australia’s experience with increased gun regulation, as detailed in a study in Injury Prevention, suggests that some laws in certain contexts can reduce firearm violence. The findings of research on the 1994 assault weapons ban and its effects are reviewed here.
For an overview of the technical and legal aspects of firearms and ammunition in the United States — and a brief history of gun control — see this article from the Poynter Institute. Among the many studies that look at the effectiveness of policies and programs to reduce gun violence, a 2012 metastudy in the journal Crime & Delinquency stands out for its comprehensiveness. The effectiveness of having guns in the home for self-defense is also an area of significant research.
What some researchers call “rampage violence” — such as the shootings in Newtown, Conn., at Columbine High and Virginia Tech, and at Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’s political event in Tucson — plays a prominent role in the national consciousness, often touching off political debates over gun control laws, shifts in the culture and the role of violent media, particularly video games.
Though each act of violence has a distinct context, over the past decade the social science research community has continued to search for more general frameworks of understanding. But some researchers believe that establishing more precise psychological/criminal profiles in the hope of preventing such events through interventions may ultimately prove elusive. Though much speculation is offered in the media immediately afterward, scholars often note the limits of existing knowledge. (For a review of the research literature on such profiling, see the first article below.) It should be said that the connection between violence and severe mental illness is often over-simplified in the news media, and claims should be framed and informed by the existing empirical research. A 2013 survey and report published in The New England Journal of Medicine has data on the public’s views on mental illness issues and violence, in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., school shooting incident.
In terms of violent acts in a school context, the FBI compiles useful background materials and data, as does the Centers for Disease Control.

Findings: Opinions on gun rights have shifted significantly over time. In 2000, 66% of Americans said controlling gun ownership was more important than protecting gun rights, while just 29% said rights were more important. By 2012, 49% supported gun rights versus 45% favoring gun control. Support for gun ownership among both men and women has increased from 2008, with a 14 percentage point increase in support for gun rights for men and a 9 percentage point increase for women. Partisan division over gun control has also grown in recent years. Republican support for gun rights increased from 65% in 2009 to 72% in 2012, while Independent support for gun rights increased from 48% in 2009 to 55% in 2012.

Jared graduated today from Kruger House Parent Participation Preschool in Carlsbad, California. I hope my readers who are the parents of toddlers and preschoolers will keep in mind that the right preschool will be a great source of family adventures. I am simply in awe of how much my little guy has matured over the past three years. Thanks to his wonderful teachers, he is well on the road to kindergarten. He is also kind, friendly, poised, artistic, and highly curious about the world. He is the source of all sorts of brilliant random facts about everything from pirates to polar bears.
Jared has benefited from the experiential learning opportunities he enjoyed at Kruger House. A parent participation preschool with plenty of support can lead to some spectacular field trips. Over the past three years, we have gone horse back riding, seen where the firemen eat and sleep at the fire station, fed the seals at Sea World, and petted exotic animals at the Wild Animal Park. One of Jared’s most memorable field trips was a trip to the dentist’s office. He is still giving me mini lectures on oral hygiene.
This Photo Friday I want to give you a tiny peek into our preschool adventures.
Thank you so much to Ms. Ellen, Ms. Katherine, Ms. Laurie, and Ms. Brenda at Kruger House. You have given our family so many wonderful memories of preschool adventures!
Today I am both sad and excited that I am now the mom of three school age kids. The stroller has been given away. We are ready to embrace some big kid adventures!

This study is the part of an ongoing research which presents the mainstream scientific output and collaboration of five research universities of South Africa over a 9 year period between 1995 and 2003. Since a part of this research has already been published in 2006 where the main emphasis was on publication output, this paper concentrates more on collaboration. The paper discusses the distribution of publications by institutions, index of specialization, collaboration and patterns of co-authorship. The results show that South African authors collaborated more frequently with international authors (73.99%) than with national authors (26.01%). This was confirmed statistically at a confidence level of p-value < 0.025. A further non-parametric chi-square statistical analysis illustrated that there are significant differences in the proportion of co-authorship amongst the five institutions (p-value < 0.005). The results obtained shows that there is a sharp decline in publication output from 1995 until the end of 1998 and then again from 2003. The decrease in publication output is also an indication of the lack of collaborative research by South African scientists.

Kinematics is the study of objects in motion and their inter-relationships. There are four (4) kinematic equations, which relate to displacement, D, velocity, v, time, t, and acceleration, a.
1) Bob is riding his bicycle to the store at a velocity of 4 m/s, when a cat runs out in front of him. He quickly brakes to a complete stop, with an acceleration of – 2m/s2. What is his displacement?
Answer: Because Bob is stopped, the final velocity, vf = 0. His initial velocity, vi = 4 m/s. The acceleration, a = -2m/s2. Time is not given, so use equation (d) for displacement, D, because it is not time-dependent.
The total displacement is 4 m.
2) You travel at a constant velocity of 11 m/s for 5 minutes. How far have you traveled?
Answer: At constant velocity, vi = vf = 11 m/s. The time, t = 5 min, or t = (60 sec/min x 5 min) = 300 sec. Now use equation (b) to solve for displacement, D.
D = 3,300 m The total displacement is 3, 300 m.
3) What is the acceleration of a car that speeds up from 11 m/s to 40 m/s after 10 seconds?
Answer: The Vi = 11 m/s. The vf = 40 m/s. Time, t = 10 s. Use kinematic equation c) to solve for acceleration.
4) If a car accelerates at 3.0 m/s2 from a complete stop, how long will it take to go 3000 m?
Answer: The acceleration, a = 2.9 m/s2, and the displacement, D = 3000 m. The car was at rest, so vi = 0. Use equation a) to solve for time.

Example #1: If we have 2.00 mol of N 2 reacting with sufficient H 2, how many moles of NH 3 will be produced? Comments prior to solving the example (a) The equation is already balanced.
Answer: The reaction shows us for every mole of N 2 consumed, 3 moles of H 2 is also consumed. We need 3 moles of hydrogen gas for every mole of nitrogen gas. The first thing we need to find out is the number of moles of each gas is on hand.
From the number of moles of each chemical that are involved in the reaction and their formula weights, we can figure out the weight of each one of these. So from the balanced equation, you can get the weight relationships.

Jane has 2 candies. Jack has 5 candies. If they each eat 1 candy, how many candies do they have left in total?
Answer: First we find out how many candies they have together.
5 + 2 = 7. Together, Jane and Jack have 7 candies. If they each eat one candy, then they ate 2 candies in total. So, we find out how many candies they have left by subtracting 2 from 7.
7 - 2 = 5. They have 5 candies left in total.
 Moe has to go 12 miles to his grandma's house. The first bus goes 3 miles. The second bus goes 4 miles. How many miles does Moe have left to go?
Answer: First we find out how far Moe travels on the two buses.
3 + 4 = 7. The distance Moe travels on the two buses together is 7 miles. We find out how far he has left to go by subtracting 7 from 12.
12 - 7 = 5. Moe has 5 miles left to go.

 Bob bought a pop for 130 ducats and a bag of chips for 89 ducats. He gave the clerk 500 ducats. How many ducats should he get back?
Answer: First we find the total of Bob's purchase.
130 + 89 = 219. To find out how many ducats he should get back, we subtract 219 from 500.
500 - 219 = 281. Bob should get back 281 ducats.
 To convert radons to zurugons, you multiply each radon by 13 then subtract 51 from the product. How many zurugons are 62 radons?
Answer: This is a really hard problem. First we need the product.
62 x 13 = 806. Then the question says to subtract 51 from the product.
806 - 51 = 755. So, 62 radons is equivalent to 755 zurugons.
 A school bus holds 40 students. 90 students are going on a field trip. How many buses do they need?
Answer: Two buses hold 80 students and 3 buses hold 120. So, they need 3 buses in order to carry 90 students.
 What is the remainder when you divide 562 by 9?
Answer: 562 divided by 9 has a quotient of 62 and a remainder of 4.
 What is the quotient when you divide 437 by 11 using long division?
Answer: The quotient is 39. In case you were wondering, the remainder is 8.
 A number is multiplied by 8 and this answer is added to 99 and the final answer is 171. What is the original number?
Answer: We find the original number by working backwards. First we subtract 99 from 171.
171 - 99 = 72. Then we divide 72 by 8.
72 ¸ 8 = 9. The original number is 9.

This matrix will “stretch” vectors along the x axis, transforming the vector into the vector . Consider also the circle formed by all points for which . What shape is the curve created by transforming all points on the circle by ?
Answer: Transforming the points on the circle using has the effect of stretching the circle horizontally while keeping the vertical height the same. Points to the right of the y-axis (for which is positive) get stretched in a positive direction, while points to the left of the y-axis (for which is negative) get stretched in a negative direction. The resulting (closed) curve appears to be an ellipse symmetric about the two axes.
for some and . We know that for all points on the original circle we have . After multiplying by for all points on the new curve we have and . Since we have .
for and . The new curve is thus an ellipse.

What tech does the Department of Homeland Security want to implement to improve border security?
What tech does the Department of Homeland Security want to implement to improve border security?
Answer: Facial scanning and recognition.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) may be taking a page out of Apple’s book when it comes to identification and security. Apple’s latest and greatest iPhone, the iPhone X, boasts facial recognition technology that will make proving yourself to your phone more convenient than ever — all you have to do is look at it. DHS wants to provide similar levels of convenience to travelers crossing U.S. borders.
“This call is looking for innovative solutions to capture facial recognition quality photos from travelers in order to facilitate identity checks without requiring occupants to leave the vehicle,” said the call for proposals.
DHS’ Silicon Valley office will host an “industry day” on Nov. 14 in order to explore opportunities for making this idea a reality. According to the call for proposals, DHS wants the system to be able to reliably identify occupants of a vehicle even when their faces are obscured by hats or sunglasses, or turned away from the camera.

How do people in the 1830s cure burns?
Answer: People used what they had handy in those days, and some of the practices are still used. They boiled chestnut leaves and used the resulting tea for burns, which may have been helpful. They also scraped raw potatoes and put that on the burn, which was also probably useful.Some of the things they did were not helpful, and probably made the burns worse. One thing was to put butter on it. Butter seals the heat in, so it continues to damage the tissue.

Question: How do you write a good novel in which the protagonist has an evil story goal?
Answer: Though they are more rare, there are stories told from the point of view of an immoral or villainous person. Shakespeare's Macbeth is one example. A Clockwork Orange is another.
In first person narration, reading such a story feels like having a mobster mistake you for his best friend. On the one hand, it's flattering to have him share his life story with you, while on the other hand you can mentally step back and pass judgment on his crimes.
Traditionally, villainous protagonists were the subject of tragedies. You read such stories to see how their mistakes and character flaws led to their downfall. Tragedies were lessons on how to not lead your life -- don't be greedy, selfish, overly ambitious, etc.
More problematic are the villainous protagonists who win in the end. Their stories can be disconcerting because they offend our natural sense of moral justice. The thematic message they deliver is a sense that something is wrong with the world (society, the universe, God, etc.). A system that would allow a villain to win must itself be a corrupt and immoral system in need of reform. Such a story is disturbing because people like to draw comfort from the notion that they understand the rules of the world, and that understanding makes the world fair and just. Seeing a villain win destroys that illusion.
So I would suggest you decide what your thematic message will be. Are your writing a tragedy or an indictment of the world?
Next, it helps a lot if you can make your villain appealing. This may mean giving him charm, humour, a backstory that evokes sympathy, flaws that the reader can relate to, or perhaps one or two traits that are admirable.
Consider that Ebenezer Scrooge has his endearing qualities (he enjoyed games and dancing). Even Satan in Paradise Lost comes across as admirable for his championing of individual freedom: "Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven."
Finally, it may help to give your character an inner conflict. Show us either the arc of his downfall or (if he starts out nasty) let him be pressured to reform but ultimately refuse to change.

Question: How many words constitute a fictional short story? Not a short, short story but a short story.
Answer: Generally, a short story is any story under 7,500 words. Anything under 1,000 words is often termed flash fiction.
However, these definitions are not fixed. Sometimes works up to 20,000 words have been called short stories. You have to check with individual publishers (such as literary magazines, websites, contests, etc.) to see what length of stories they are looking for and what terms they are using to describe them (e.g. micro-fiction, novelette, novella, postcard fiction).
At the extreme lower end there are also "six word memoirs," such as this famous one attributed to Hemingway: "For sale: baby shoes. Never worn."

Hungary’s parliament on Wednesday approved a package of bills that criminalizes some help given to illegal immigrants, defying the European Union and human rights groups.
The legislation narrows the scope for action by non-governmental organizations (NGOs), making their workers liable for jail terms for helping migrants to seek asylum when they are not entitled to it.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban has led eastern European opposition to EU quotas that aim to distribute asylum seekers around the bloc, criticizing the open-door policy that German Chancellor Angela Merkel proclaimed at the height of the European migrant crisis in 2015.
Orban’s right-wing Fidesz party tightened its grip on parliament in April elections after campaigning on an anti-immigration platform. Fidesz also demonized Hungarian-born U.S. billionaire George Soros and the liberal NGOs he backs, naming the new legislation the “STOP Soros” law.
Orban accuses Soros of encouraging mass immigration to undermine Europe, a charge he denies.
“The Hungarian people rightfully expect the government to use all means necessary to combat illegal immigration and the activities that aid it,” Interior Minister Sandor Pinter wrote in a justification attached to the draft legislation.
“The STOP Soros package of bills serves that goal, making the organization of illegal immigration a criminal offence. We want to use the bills to stop Hungary from becoming a country of immigrants,” he said.
Parliament, where Fidesz has a two-thirds majority, also passed on Wednesday a constitutional amendment stating that an “alien population” cannot be settled in Hungary – a swipe at Brussels over its quota plan.
Germany’s Europe minister Michael Roth expressed regret that Hungary had not waited for the Venice Commission, an expert body, to issue a report on the issue along with the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
“We share the concerns of the Venice Commission regarding the criminalization of the activities of non-governmental organizations in the area of refugee aid,” he said.
Immigration has become a major concern for voters across the EU, helping to propel anti-migrant parties into power in Italy and Austria and threatening to fracture Merkel’s three-month-old coalition in Germany.
Orban has played on Hungarians’ memories of large numbers of mostly Muslim migrants fleeing war and poverty who surged into the country in the summer of 2015.
Most moved on to wealthier western European countries, but Orban has branded the migrants a threat to Europe’s Christian civilization and built a border fence along Hungary’s southern borders to deter more from coming.
Hungarian statistics show 3,555 refugees living in Hungary, a country of 10 million, as of April. Only 342 people were registered as asylum seekers in the first four months of this year, mostly from the Middle East, and 279 were approved.
The Hungarian Helsinki Committee, a rights group, said on Wednesday the narrowing definition of who counts as a refugee essentially means nobody entering Hungary by land would be entitled to such treatment.
“Instead of giving protection against persecution, the Hungarian government has decided to join the ranks of the persecutors,” Helsinki Committee Co-Chair Marta Pardavi said.
The Orban government expects possible legal action by the European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, over the new law.
The Venice Commission had asked Hungary to refrain from approving the new law until its report is published.
Orban has also tightened state control over the media, major business sectors and the courts since taking power in 2010.
Parliament also agreed on Wednesday to set up a new judicial branch for administrative cases that critics say may increase political influence over judges. Another change narrowed the right to free expression and assembly.

The Bisons dropped both games of a doubleheader against a hot Louisville team Tuesday night on the road by final scores of 3-0 and 4-3.
In Game one, a pair of longballs provided the only runs of the contest for either side and in Game two, the Bisons fell in extra-innings after controlling a two-run lead.
The Bisons were shutout in Game one of the twin bill. One frame proved to be the deciding factor as the Bats posted three runs in the third to deal a loss to Buffalo.
Marco Estrada took the mound for the Herd in Game one, making a rehab start on his way back from suffering a left glute strain earlier this month. This was his first outing since July 3.
Estrada didn't give up a hit in the first two innings, but the Bats seized a three-run lead on home runs from Josh VanMeter and Gabriel Guerrero in the third.
Estrada was pulled from the game after 3.1 innings of work after appearing to have discomfort with a finger on his throwing hand. The right-hander struck out three batters in the start.
Buffalo had a scoring chance in the fifth when Anthony Alford reached third base with one out, but he was erased from the base path on a successful pick-off throw from Bats' catcher Chadwick Tromp.
After an appearance with the Bluefield Blue Jays and two outings with the Dunedin Blue Jays, closer Roberto Osuna pitched an inning in relief for the Bisons. He faced five hitters and worked around a two-on, two-out spot in the sixth by striking out Hernan Iribarren.
The Herd was held to just two hits. Dalton Pompey beat out an infield single in the third and Alford hit a single to right field in the fifth.
In Game two, the Bisons went into extras but lost on a go-ahead, RBI-groundout by Iribarren in the eighth. The speedy Jonathan Davis began the bottom of the eighth at second base, but the Herd couldn't bring him home as the tying run.
The Bisons served as the home team in Game two because of a postponed game that was scheduled to be played between the two teams at Coca-Cola Field in April.
The game was slow to start offensively as neither team recorded a hit until the bottom of the third when Tim Lopes squeaked a single past the infield.
After Buffalo built up a two-run lead, the Bats struck for three runs in the sixth to take a 3-2. The advantage was secured on a two-run home run from Brian O'Grady.
Lopes supplied an answer with a two-out double in the Bisons' half of the sixth to score Alford, who pinch ran for Gio Urshela. Lopes' base knock knotted the score at three runs apiece.
The Bisons scored one run in each of the previous two innings thanks to a solo home run from Richard Urena to break the 0-0 tie and an RBI-double from Davis.
Justin Shafer inherited a two one-out base runners in the top of the seventh and got out of the inning by inducing two fly outs.
