Georgia's Career Clusters allow students to choose an area of interest in high school from 17 different clusters. Students take classes tailored to their cluster, which helps them navigate their way to greater success –no matter what they choose to do after high school graduation. Each cluster will include multiple career pathways. The aim of the program is to show students the relevance of what they're learning in the classroom, whether they want to attend a two-year college, a four-year university or go straight into the world of work. Students will begin to learn about potential careers in elementary and middle school so that they are ready to choose a pathway once they reach high school. Georgia's initiative is based on the national Career Cluster model.
In this section, you will find a listing of all the Career, Technical and Agriculture Education (CTAE) Clusters and Pathways offered at the Sims Academy and the introductory classes offered at either Sims Academy, Apalachee High School, Winder Barrow High School or Snodon Preparatory School.
Three courses are required to complete each pathway and course descriptions are provided so you may develop a better understanding of how each class is structured. Please use this as a reference to begin thinking about which Pathway(s) you are interested in completing during your high school career. In many instances, more than one Pathway can be completed by graduation. For example: it is feasible for a student to complete all three of the Transportation, Distribution, and Logistics Pathways we offer; a total of 7 courses.
When choosing a Pathway, consider not only the classes that sound interesting, but also think about your future career plans and the Pathways that will start you down the road towards pursuing that career. A list of potential careers is listed beside the Pathway course descriptions in each Cluster.
You can also view a brief summary of where classes will be offered on the Career Pathways Flyer or download the entire AHS or WBHS Career Pathways Booklet.
We're sorry, no events were found for this calendar.

And I realized this morning that I've been missing quilting. My 10x10" weekly quilts aren't enough, and I haven't had any other immediate quilting projects. True, I have a couple of possibilities on my design wall awaiting further inspiration. But nothing right at hand.
So I grabbed this photo which has been hanging on my bulletin board, and it inspired me to create the quilt top in the first image. I thought it was pretty much done when I completed it this morning, but I see now that I'll probably go back in and do a bit more before I actually quilt it.
It's exciting because this is something I've wanted to do ~ find quilt inspiration in unusual photographs. And speaking of that, I've been thinking more about my personal quilting challenge for 2010, and at this point I've decided to do two quilts each month, one inspired by my paper collages, and one inspired by my textural photographic images.
And speaking of quilting challenges, I'm looking for a small group of art quilters to join to do periodic challenges, something similar to the Twelve By Twelve group. So if any of my readers are in a group like this and looking for another partner, or want to start something like this, please let me know!
And off the subject entirely, take a good look at the word "twelve" for a few moments, and it looks very strange, indeed!

Your health and safety is always our top priority. Call your physician if you think you have the coronavirus or call 877-9NOVANT if you don't have one. Learn more »
From the moment a woman is born, throughout the rest of her life, she passes through distinct stages that require care and understanding much different than for a man. That's why we established the Novant Health Maya Angelou Women's Health & Wellness Center at Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center.
Through each decade of a woman's life, we bring to you the knowledge of experience, the latest medical innovation and compassionate care to help you achieve the highest quality of life. Recognizing your needs, the center not only provides services and resources specifically to help women live longer, healthier lives, but it has entirely transformed how we approach healthcare for women – at all stages of life.
We now know that for many diseases and illnesses, women have different symptoms than men and require a different approach to diagnosis and treatment. It's also no surprise that, often, women become so busy caring for their families that they may neglect their own needs.
The idea of dedicating care specifically for women began 125 years ago in Winston, N.C., when a group of local women met to form the Ladies' Twin City Hospital Association, the forerunner of Forsyth Medical Center in Winston-Salem, N.C. In 2001, the Sara Lee Center for Women's Health was created at the medical center to provide leading-edge medical care for women in our community. Then on June 28, 2012, the center became larger and more comprehensive – with a new name.
The inspiration for the Novant Health Maya Angelou Center's name and its focus on creating greater health and wellness among women came from Dr. Maya Angelou, who transcends generations and whose words and ideas resonate with women around the world.
At the Novant Health Maya Angelou Women's Health & Wellness Center, we understand women's health and are here to have the types of conversations that help promote women's health and wellness. Learn more about some of the services available through the center:
From teens through adulthood, each decade of a woman's life is an opportunity for growth and the pursuit of vibrant health in mind, body and spirit. The center coordinates comprehensive healthcare and wellness services specifically designed to meet your unique needs through every stage of life.

This week's topic, courtesy of the Broke and Bookish, is ten bookish facts about me. So without further ado:
- I am a proud Ravenclaw of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
- I guess more geographically relevant, I am a proud Horned Serpent of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
- Jane Austen is my favorite classic author.
- I recently bought a subscription to The New Yorker because the book Spinster by Kate Bolick subliminally encouraged me to.
- I make myself read at least one article whether from Time or The New Yorker every day so that I can stay caught up on current events.
- I rationalize that my addiction to owning books is better than other people who horde multiple things, and then I feel like a horrible person for comparing myself to others like that.
- I didn't start reading for fun until Junior High, and then I didn't start reading incessantly until I graduated college.
- I feel my chinchillas escaping their cage and eating through my books.
- I have a rather large stack of books I have been meaning to donate for a few months, but I can't seem to bring myself to get rid of them yet.
- Lastly, I read more historical romances in a year than any other genre. (I'm addicted to London society love stories)
Tell me about yourself?

Book Description:
Published: September 4, 2017
Format: Free Digital Book
A lonely librarian desperate to experience the kind of passion she's only read about in her favorite literary classics.
One handsome stranger with a tragic past.
A chance meeting that will change their course of their lives forever. . .
This is a first look at the much-anticipated Dirty Little Secret, by New York Times bestselling author Kendall Ryan.
Review –
The title is perfect – the story is short with just enough going on to make you want to purchase the next book in the series.
The story line is a bit cliché and the reader knows what's going to happen and which brother is "the big bad wolf" and that there is much more to their tragic background than we are led to believe. That being said, you will not be able NOT to read it and purchase the next in the series. Great going Kendall Ryan. You got me!!!!

Friends of the Earth reveals new identity
Charity Friends of The Earth has rebranded, with a new identity and strapline 'See things differently' both created in-house.
A handrawn headline font has been created for the identity, which will extend to other brand elements, and the colour palette has been broadened from green, to include red, yellow and blue.
Glenn Colegate, creative director at the charity, has designed the identity, and the in-house creative department has designed a new website.
The charity, which is looking to sign up a broader base of donors and activists, hopes to communicate that 'the wellbeing of the planet and the wellbeing of all of us on it are one and the same thing,' says Joe Jenkins, Friends of the Earth director of fundraising communications and activism.
The rebrand supports a campaign – also designed in-house – to encourage supporters to choose which causes the charity should follow: The Bee Cause; Clean British Energy; and Product Expose.
An online element of this campaign, a Kiss Means the World, has been designed by consultancy Nonsense. Site visitors are encouraged to drag and drop a kiss onto the cause they wish to see supported.
Jenkins says the new brand will make the charity more 'mainstream' and 'address the misconception that we're judgmental and finger-wagging'.

British Labor party chief Jeremy Corbyn issued a scathing critique of Israel after being publicly reprimanded by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu for his apparent participation in a commemoration ceremony in memory of members of the Black September terrorist organization who took part in the 1972 massacre of 11 Israelis during the Munich Olympics.
Pictures of the event, which seemed to show Corbyn laying a wreath near the terrorists' graves in a Tunisian cemetery four years ago, were published in the Daily Mail last Friday and immediately led to a political firestorm.
Corbyn denied participating in the ceremony, telling Sky News that "I was present when [the wreath] was laid. I don't think I was actually involved in it."
Yesterday Netanyahu tweeted "the laying of a wreath by Jeremy Corbyn on the graves of the terrorists who perpetrated the Munich massacre and his comparison of Israel to the Nazis deserves unequivocal condemnation from everyone – left, right, and everything in between."
In response, Corbyn shot back, stating that the Israeli premier's "claims about my actions and words are false" and asserting that "what deserves unequivocal condemnation is the killing of over 160 Palestinian protesters in Gaza by Israeli forces since March, including dozens of children."
Nearly 170 people have died in Gaza clashes since the end of March. The IDF has stated most of them were Hamas members.
Corbyn also criticized Israel's recently passed Nationality Law, tweeting it "discriminates against Israel's minority" and that he stands "with the tens of thousands of Arab and Jewish citizens of Israel demonstrating for equal rights at the weekend in Tel Aviv."
The revelation of Corbyn's participation in the ceremony wasn't the only controversy to engulf the longtime socialist operative last week. An old clip that surfaced several days earlier showed Corbyn saying in a 2011 interview with the Iranian Press TV station that the BBC has "a bias towards saying that Israel is a democracy in the Middle East, Israel has a right to exist, Israel has its security concerns."
These revelations follow intense scrutiny of Corbyn's past and present statements about Israel and anti-Semitism and his alleged failure to curb resurgent anti-Semitism within his party. Last month, Labour pointedly decided not to adopt parts of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's working definition of anti-Semitism that related to Israel.

EXCLUSIVE: The fix is in, design agencies are the future of the creative industry, and The Monkeys partners want to get in from the ground floor. So they've taken a stake in acclaimed design agency Maud.
The Monkeys partners Mark Green, Scott Nowell, Justin Drape and Fabio Buresti have become partners in a second agency, Maud, which will work alongside their creative shop in the same office block.
Maud has already worked with brands like Carlton & United Breweries, Nokia and NRMA Insurance, while the partnership between the two companies has seen work produced for brands like The Star, Tony Ferguson, Diageo, Ikea, Semi-Permanent and others. A high profile project for Google and the Semi-Permanent event in Los Angeles is also currently in the works.
The Monkeys boys have partnered with Maud's founder and creative director David Park. While they have been tight-lipped about the exact split of ownership, Green said it is divided between the five players "fairly evenly".
Interestingly, it was the four partners from The Monkeys who bought into Maud, rather than The Monkeys as a business. But Green said it doesn't make too much difference, and said the design agency has been working very closely with The Monkeys' clients, while also retaining its own business.
Truth be told, the deal has been in the works for around a year, and the two agencies have been working in a partnership under the radar for several months. Green said: "We've been doing this quietly for some time, working together on a number of projects."
Green said the "design conversation" is one which brands have very early on, and suggested that this new venture will provide access to clients much earlier in the creative process. He argued design is a major opportunity for the Australian creative sector, and suggested it is a field which is largely untapped.
"Design is not taken seriously enough in this market," Green said. "The design market in Australia seems to be the same parties and a few smaller design studios. But when a business takes design seriously, you see a major impact. Just look at Apple as one example.
"From a design point of view you are involved in the inception of a product and the initial brand strategy. To play in that space opens up so many creative opportunities.
"If you look at what design can truly offer, it shapes a consumer's interaction with a product and a business, it's more than just pretty colours. It is integral to brand strategy and brand identity."
Since The Monkeys partners bought into Maud, it has grown from a relatively small design shop into an operation with approximately 12 staff. The agency has brought in a design director Jamie Mitchel, who has joined the business from Staat in Amsterdam where he worked on Nike. Business director Nick Jackson has also joined Maud from The Monkeys, where he was senior account director.
"Now there is a good sized team which will allow Maud to up the scale of its projects," Green said. "Now it can work on bigger brands and bigger projects."
Meanwhile, Maud's founder David Park said: "Why The Monkeys? We have a similar view of how communications and design could and should work. A non-traditional view which is more involved in brand strategy. It's not just design as pretty pictures, but design as brand strategy, ideas and execution."
In 2012, Maud was awarded with 11 gongs at the Biennale AGDA Awards, while the agency also won a Black D&AD Pencil in 2010.
This story originally did not make clear the nature of the transaction. The Monkeys partners have now clarified that there was a financial element to the deal.

Very cold with windblown powder. The snow depth was inconsistent making commitment difficult but still super enjoyable. Pistes are great and the resort was empty. Off piste below 2000 metres was unskiable crust. All in all a pretty good morning.
Tag: powder
Depression Lifting Snow is on the way
As soon as New Year week ended things began to improve. The crowds disappeared and we even had a little snow. The depth of the new snow varied throughout the valley with Le Tour receiving about 20cms – heavily windblown- and Les Houches perhaps 10cms. The weather then turned clear and exceedingly cold.
We ventured out to Le Tour pretty much for first lift on 10th January. It was -10C in the car park and with a very strong NE wind it must have been -30C at the top of Autannes Chair. There were pockets of good powder side piste but the overnight wind had ruined many of the faces. Nice to have some powder turns though. The pistes were in excellent condition, well covered and cold grippy snow. We only lasted about an hour and a half due to the extreme cold but went home pretty happy with the improvement in conditions.
Due to continuing freezing conditions we had a quick piste ski on 11/01 at Les Houches. Conditions pretty good with huge amounts of man made snow being pumped out.
Today we had a quick skin to ski an area which is pasture in the summer. 10cms of cold snow made it worthwhile.
Snow due to fall from tonight with reports of up to 75 cms in the next 48 hours.
Niseko Delivers Smiles and back to Chamonix
Japan lived up to hopes/expectations. We arrived to significant, even by Japanese standards, new snow. I think about a metre and a half fell in the first seven days. It is not just the quantity of the snow but the quality.-10/10.The cold air and continuous light snow provides the best snow I have ever skied. It carried on day after day. It was nice to have a couple of days of sunshine to see the mountains but to me Japan is about skiing open tree glades whilst the snow falls. On one day skinning on the north side our skin track was almost filled in each 40 minute lap.
Ski, eat, sleep repeat. If you can it is a trip you must make. Some photos…..
A long trip back to Chamonix left me with man flu. Completely debilitating -couple of days in bed feeling very sorry for myself followed by 2 more on the couch (feeling equally as sorry for myself). Penny managed out for some good powder on a bluebird day – having to be on first lift with the English school holiday crowds and also a small tour with Ziggy .
It was this week before I ventured out.. surprisingly good snow on Tuesday on the Vallorcine side of Le Tour. We returned the next day with the intention of doing a couple of short hikes to ski the last of the powder but high winds and freezing temperatures sent us scuttling home by 11. Next, a morning skinning in Les Contamines delivered some solitude and a nice walk but not the best skiing.
Despite the snow depth we could do with some fresh snow. The pistes are in great condition if a little hard. There is little by way of easily accessible off piste available.We are promised some of the coldest days on record for this time of year and hopefully some fresh snow
Japan – the snow is deep
Cal and I are currently in Japan and I intend to write a full report when I get back to Chamonix. It is difficult to comprehend how much snow falls here

By Jim Brunner
Gov. Jay Inslee has failed so far to convince state legislators to go along with his proposal to meet official state greenhouse-gas-reduction targets through a new charge on carbon emissions.
But that's not stopping the first-term Democrat from committing -- symbolically at least -- to even tougher climate goals.
Inslee this week joined leaders of 11 other states and provinces in the U.S., Mexico, Europe and Canada in signing an agreement that calls for cutting emissions of greenhouse gases to 80 to 95 percent below 1990 levels by 2050.
That's a steeper reduction than envisioned in a 2008 Washington law, which said the state would cut its emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to 50 percent of 1990 levels by 2050.
The Under 2 MOU, spearheaded by California Gov. Jerry Brown, is named after the goal of limiting global warming to less than 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels -- a threshold scientists say is crucial to avoid dangerous climate-change impacts.
The pact is intended to galvanize action before a United Nations climate summit scheduled for Paris in December, according to Brown's office.
Inslee, who has made fighting climate change a signature political priority, is considering attending the Paris talks, his office said Wednesday.
In a statement, Inslee said the threat of climate change "requires bold action at every level, and many of these actions must be done by local and state governments."
The agreement he signed this week is largely symbolic and does not legally bind Washington state to any specific actions.
In an appendix to the Under 2 MOU, the Inslee administration listed ongoing efforts, including the governor's stalled cap-and-trade legislation, ending reliance on coal-generated electricity and a potential new clean-fuel standard.
Inslee's endorsement of the new climate agreement drew criticism from a Republican state legislator.
"I think it's pretty extreme," said Rep. Shelly Short, R-Addy, one of two GOP representatives on a bipartisan panel that has studied state climate policy.
Short said Washington has done "a great job" keeping emissions relatively low and worried Inslee will use the new pact to push regulations that would hurt the state's economy and quality of life.
"We have periods of warming. We have periods of cooling. I don't know what to make of that," she said. "If you took Washington emissions and you reduce everything, in the global picture, it would amount to nothing."
Along with Washington and California, the "founding signatories" of the Under 2 MOU include Vermont and Oregon, as well as Acre, Brazil; Baden-Württemberg, Germany; Baja California, Mexico; Catalonia, Spain; Jalisco, Mexico; Ontario, Canada; British Columbia, Canada; and Wales, U.K.
Jaime Smith, an Inslee spokeswoman, said that with gridlock at the federal level, the governor sees value in a partnership with other like-minded state and provincial leaders to create momentum on climate action.
The three West Coast states and British Columbia combined would amount to the fifth-largest economy in the world. "You are talking about a pretty significant economic force," she said.
Inslee and other regional leaders signed a similarly nonbinding climate-action agreement in 2013, in which Inslee vowed to "set binding limits on carbon emissions and deploy market mechanisms to meet those limits."
That led to the governor's cap-and-trade legislation, which would limit overall carbon emissions and require top emitters -- including refineries, power plants and steel manufacturers -- to buy new pollution permits.
Inslee wanted to devote the nearly $1 billion a year the plan would raise to schools, transportation projects and other state priorities. But his bill has failed to pass even in the Democratic-majority state House.
Washington's greenhouse-gas targets go back to 2008, when then-Gov. Chris Gregoire and the Legislature approved a law committing the state to lowering emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, to 25 percent below that by 2035, and to 50 percent below that by 2050.
But as Inslee has frequently pointed out, lawmakers have refused to adopt a binding plan to meet those goals. Like Inslee, Gregoire pushed for a cap-and-trade bill in 2009 but it failed despite Democrats controlling both houses of the Legislature that year.
Washington's overall emissions have remained relatively flat in recent years despite a growing population, according to the state Department of Ecology.
But without policy changes such as the cap-and-trade proposal, the state is currently projected to fall short of the 2020 target contained in current law, said Hedia Adelsman, special assistant to the director at the state Department of Ecology.
The state estimates total 2013 emissions at about 96 million metric tons, Adelsman said. That's compared with about 88 million metric tons in 1990.
While not weighing in on Inslee's policies, Amy Snover, assistant dean at the University of Washington's College of the Environment and director of the Climate Impacts Group, said there is broad agreement that the world is on pace to cross the 2-degree warming threshold.
"Without significant change we will exceed that target and we will see significant impacts at home and around the world. That part is perfectly clear," Snover said.

If you're looking for smart light bulbs for your home in the market and want them to work seamlessly with your Google Home system for the ultimate in voice-driven light setup, the best options are here.
While intelligent light switches in the wall are probably cheaper in the long run. Smart light bulbs are much easier to install and set up, making them a popular item for those who do not have the knowledge or ability to wire light switches themselves. They are also very tenant-friendly as you do not need a landlord permit to change the rent.
Luckily, there are many options when it comes to smart bulbs, but if you're looking for bulbs that work especially well, you still have plenty of choice in your Google homepage. Here are some of the best.
Philips Hue
Undoubtedly, Philips Hue is the standard in intelligent light bulbs. A starter kit is available for $ 70, which comes with the required hub and two white Hue bulbs. After that, you can get additional light bulbs for only $ 10- $ 15 when you make a sale.
You can do all sorts of things with these light bulbs, including setting timers and schedules, and advanced features like Vacation Mode – turning your lights on and off to simulate your home even when you're there are not.
You can also create scenes with different brightness and color (if you have the color pears) and then activate them with one touch or with your voice on your Google homepage.
As far as voice control is concerned, you can do anything with your lights. Change scenes, change colors, adjust the brightness and of course switch the light on and off. It also helps a lot if you take the time to give the lamps and rooms clear names, which will not confuse your Google home.
Ikea Tradfri
Another hub-based smart-lamp setup, of which we are big fans, is the Ikea Tradfri series. As you might have guessed, this is the smart lighting system from Ikea, and the starter kit costs only $ 80.
The starter kit comes with a hub, two white bulbs and a remote control. Additional E26 bulbs are available as low as $ 13.
As with Hue bulbs, you can use your Google Home to control them with your voice, including turning on and off and adjusting the brightness.
And if anything, even if you're already invested in the Philips Hue ecosystem, you may be looking forward to seeing Tradfri lamps work with the Philips Hue Bridge hub.
A Wi-Fi Option: Eufy Lumos Smart Bulbs
If you prefer not to opt for an intelligent lamp system that requires a proprietary hub, Wi-Fi bulbs are a great alternative, as they provide you with a Wi-Fi network without a direct Connection connect hub. There are many options, but Eufys Lumos series offers really nice Wi-Fi lamps at a low cost.
For example, you can buy a simple, soft, white lamp for about $ 15, but I have seen it so cheap $ 10 on sale. Or you can upgrade this to a tunable white light bulb for a few dollars more. And of course, they also offer a color light bulb.
Keep in mind that Wi-Fi bulbs can be more convenient because you do not have to deal with a hub, but it is recommended to opt for a hub -based option if you plan to bring your entire house with you a lot of smart bulbs to minimize the overloading of the Wi-Fi function.

Producers raise coreboard prices in Germany on good demand and reduced supply
Coreboard prices are on the upward trend in Germany. Coreboard manufacturers report good domestic demand and markedly longer lead times.
Coreboard manufacturers indicate good domestic demand on the German market in May. Companies reportedly have orders extending well into June. In addition, the insolvency of Viersen Paperboard is playing a role. Although customers of the mill had scouted for alternatives well in time, the final decision on closure did trigger some unrest on the market, it is learnt.
Based on these market conditions, coreboard manufacturers partly succeeded in implementing their price demands. Some companies reported as early as in March and April of price hikes which saw market-wide implementation in May.
Cores manufacturers see virtually no option to sidestep the current price hike on the market in Germany. Although recovered paper prices have begun to fall, which could benefit manufacturers, companies find themselves facing price hikes nevertheless.

Introduction: RED HOT Valentine Cookies
RED HOT Valentine Cookies
Step 1: How to Make RED HOT Valentine Cookies
These cookies taste just like the little red candies but with a soft cake-like texture. I make a batch for my husband every Valentine's Day and he loves them! These cookies are very simple to make. They are good by themselves or sandwiched with ice cream.
This recipe will make 2 to 4 dozen cookies depending on the size cookie cutter used. ENJOY!
1 box red velvet cake mix
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs
1/4 cup oil
1/2 tablespoon natural cinnamon flavor
Flour (as needed for rolling out dough)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Step 2:
Mix the cake mix, baking powder, cinnamon flavor, eggs, and oil in a bowl until well blended and a solid dough forms.
Step 3:
Place the dough on a floured surface and sprinkle with flour.
Roll out the dough to about a 1/4 inch thickness.
Use flour as needed to prevent sticky dough.
Step 4:
Use a cookie cutter to cut shapes and place on a cookie sheet. I line my sheets with parchment paper but it is not necessary.
Step 5:
Bake at 325 for 8 to 12 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on the size of the cookie cutters used.
Remove and cool on the cookie sheet 2 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
Serve and enjoy!

Just add water
Producing high quality sports images can depend on many ingredients. They all have a value to somebody even if it just the local school's rugby team in action.
First you get two teams with excellent players and coaches and put them in knock out round of a National Schools competition. Next you simply add water for at least two weeks before the match and rain on the day with a wind chill to -5C. Your end result is an epic battle of wits, power, determination and endurance. The prospect of playing in the final at Twickenham Stadium is always a mouth-watering proposition.
The Royal Grammar School v Bicton College U18 Nat West Cup match at the end of January proved to be spectacular and I spent most of the game under an umbrella looking for quality action images plus those that would help define how tough the game was. During the second half, the players were becoming exhausted and Bicton were awarded a penalty. The player who had been at the bottom of the ruck was on his knees and struggling to find the energy to stand up. Images like those do not come along very often.
The school loved the images and no doubt will be using them in all of their marketing and PR platforms for some time to come.
The Bucks Free Press newspaper gave us the key photo on the back page and dedicated a whole section inside with a picture spread of both the U18 and U15 games covered in the previous seven days.

Ayoleyi Hanniel Solomon, Nigerian singer better known as Reekado Banks, has said he cannot go back to Don Jazzy because he needs to move forward.
The talented songwriter made this known during a conversation with a fan who teased him about going back to Don Jazzy.
Replying the fan, Banks said:"If that is how we keep going back, we will never go forward".
Recall that Reekado sacked his elder brother, as his manager earlier this year.
On why he sacked his brother, the 'Rora' singer said: ""It was just next level dealings, I wanted to get somewhere else, the vision became a lot farther, like I saw farther than I used to see and I just needed somebody that'll see as much, most especially someone that's been there with other people (artists) but me and my brother are cool," he said.
When asked if Temi, who has managed him since the beginning of his career, is still a part of his team in any capacity, he answered in the negative, saying that not at the moment.
Banks joined Mavin Records in 2014 and left four years later in 2018.
His record deal with Mavin Records came as a result of his brother submitting some of his songs to the label in an online talent search.

Day 7 – Blitz again to kill any newly hatched eggs.
Day 14 – Apply your chosen treatment one final time to completely eradicate any last hatchlings.
About Head Lice
Head lice are tiny, wingless insects that live on the scalp and are easily transmitted by head to head contact, which is common amongst young children.
Itching is a common sign of head lice infestation but not the only indicator since some children don't get itchy scalps. It's important to check the child's head for lice on a regular basis, particularly if another family member has been infested or there is an outbreak at your school or day care centre.
1. Apply Mousse to damp or dry hair, from the scalp to the ends. Ensure hair is thoroughly covered with product (don't forget behind the ears, a favourite hiding spot for nits)
2. Put shower cap on, making sure it covers the ears & hairline including the back of the neck
3. Leave Mousse on for at least 10 minutes
4. Remove shower cap & thoroughly rinse hair
5. Also rinse shower cap and hands.
To deter lice and enjoy that freshly blitzed feeling for longer, use Blitz Nitz Shampoo in between treatments
Important: Repeat steps 1–5 on days seven and fourteen after the first treatment to break the life cycle and end the infestation.
Water, Polysorbate 20, Decyl Glucoside (naturally derived surfactants), Eucalyptus Oil (essential oil), Gycerine (moisturiser), Coco Betaine (naturally derived surfactant), Lemon Eucalyptus Oil and Tea Tree Oil (essential oils), Methylchloroisothiazolinone and Methylisothiazolinone (preservatives).
No artificial colours or fragrances.
For external use only. Always read the label. Use only as directed. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with face and eyes. If contact does occur, flush with water. Do not use on children under 2 years old without medical advice. A slight tingling sensation may be experienced due to the high concentration of essential oils. This is a normal part of the process. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
Store below 30°C.

At an event Friday in Lakeville, Minnesota, McCain referred to Obama as a "decent person" and praised him as a "family man" after two voters expressed fear over Obama being elected.Grrr.
But the Arizona senator was met by a sea of boos when asking the crowd to be more respectful toward Obama.
When the crowd began to boo, McCain told them "No, no. I want everyone to be respectful."

And after all…
Was reflecting my first 10 years in my new homeland Sweden. Besides the fact that the language is still a bit of a struggle for me and the culture in many ways can be quite a struggle or better said a confrontation, it has been some amazing and challenging years.
Coming from a nation of communication, meeting and greeting, I had to except that other nations have other habits and qualities. Digging in the dirt of what confronted me, I found some amazing qualities of the people of this nation. Qualities that I began to like to the level of adapting and excepting. I love the people in many ways that learn to deal with seasons of extreme cold, darkness and lack of the fruits of the field. I understand the still strong effort to prepare the wood in spring and summer in order to be warm in the winter. Continue reading
Raising kids – Part Three
This is part 3 of a (re)blog by Annwen Stone
I must admit that the teenage years have, in the past, been something that I have worried about. The classic 'Kevin' overnight change as they turn 13, the potential rebellion, the secrecy of choices that could be life affecting. A good friend with grown up kids was recently recounting about the joy that these years had been to them. It gave me hope that these years don't have to be difficult and troubled. With the right strategy and tactics the teenage years can be a time of great joy as the investment you have made in the previous years starts to reap its reward: our children can become healthy, independent, and mature young adults that make good choices.
Just to recap – we have been looking at how Jesus' model of leadership (the Square) can be a tool we can use in our parenting. In the last post we looked at how the first two seasons of his leadership (L1 and L2) had built the culture and demonstrated the vision. He had given them grace and encouragement when they felt like they were failing in fear. He was very much taking the lead in the last season. But as the disciples matured, his tactics changed. The next stages of the square (L3 and L4), which are relevant to parenting teenagers, involved a transition for the disciples. It's no longer a directive leader approach. Instead, it has become more relational; more like friendship.
Now remember – without the first two stages this would have been impossible. Without establishing his vision and his ways as their foundation, it would have been too easy for them to just run off and do their own thing! This season of his leadership is marked by the phase "you do it and I will help".
As this friendship has grown, they have loved to hang out together. But before long, he drops the bombshell that he will be leaving them. Although they are unsure about this, deep down they have been prepared and grown in confidence. They are ready. It's still a stretch, but it's the right time for this challenge to continue to represent him without his physical presence there.
As my own children haven't yet entered this season, I had the privilege of interviewing some parents who have been through this part of the journey and were happy to share their findings:
"Firstly we realised early on that we needed to eliminate the 'yes' or 'no' outcomes from conversations with the children. We realised that this kind of highly directional approach with older children can just breed potential rebellion. If I end up saying 'do this', they either comply (but inwardly resent not understanding why you have asked that) or they say 'no' and we end up in a conflict situation.
We started with the scenarios where there would be consequences, but not life changing ones. We gave opportunity to learn from the little daily situations that can inform the bigger more serious ones. Bed times were a prime example of this. For example, if we were leaving them with a babysitter we would often be asked the question "what time shall I go to bed tonight?" We would use this as an opportunity to say "well what do you think? What kind of day is it? Do you have school tomorrow?" We enabled them to see that they could make a joint decision. That they could weigh up potential consequences and form a decision based on the potential outcomes.
The questions would change over time and the scenarios would involve more responsibility. There were times where they wanted to attend late night parties. We would engage with them on what circumstances they might face there and process with them how they would respond. It was a lot of discussion and reflection. We had to create time, as they consistently needed us to be highly accessible – not just available every now and again. This stage was crucial to them forming reasoning and independence.
We can't assume that our kids know how to handle certain situations; we need to discuss out loud and look at scenarios and consequences as part of their formation into adulthood.
It's also helpful to recognise both your natural tenancies in how you lead and parent, and your child's natural tendencies in how they follow. Every child is different. One of ours is more naturally independent and wants to rush ahead into life and therefore meets situations where we have to give really clear boundaries. Extended family has been key for this child. Having a place she can process outside of her parents, usually with a cool young adult, saying the same things as us but without the emotion of the parental/child relationship. Another one of our children is more naturally willing to sit back, so we have to push her to help her take steps towards independence.
We have found the teenage years to be a time of teaching them continuous processing through their circumstances, fears, peer pressures, and opportunities. They tend to swing back and forth from feeling increasing confidence and stepping out, back to feeling insecure and unsure. In order to get them to a place of healthy independence (L4) – which should be our greatest desire as parents – we need to maintain a strong connection and keep giving them opportunities to process things well. We need to become a place in their lives that, no matter what choices they have made, they are received with love and given grace."
When Jesus ascended he left 12 rough and ready disciples. They were barely adolescents in their faith. But he knew it was time for him to commission them in to their next phase of discipleship. He had created a culture and shown them the pattern to follow. He had released them and enabled them. He had given them all they needed to take the next steps. And his Holy Spirit was poured out for them to know they were never alone.
In the same way that Jesus never stops discipling us, we never stop being parents to our children. It's just the how that changes. Knowing the 'season' of parenting we are in helps us to learn from Jesus and parent like he would.

Raising kids – Part Two
This is part 2 of a (re)blog by Annwen Stone
In the last post I talked about how the challenges of parenting can be addressed by reflecting on the way Jesus led his disciples and built a discipleship culture. His leadership has so much that we can learn from and imitate to become more empowered, fruitful parents.
There are varying opinions of different stages of child development, but for argument's sake we will look at 0-7 as the first stage of parenting (L1), the second 8-13 (L2), the third 13-17 (L3), and the fourth 18+ (L4). If you're not sure what I'm referring to, click here and pop back to my last post.
When Jesus first called his disciples to follow him (L1) he was highly directive and there was high example. He was clear and consistent. There was a strong level of invitation and he expected the disciples to come into his vision, do it his way and learn. "Come follow me" would be a key scripture in L1.
The aim of the parental role in the L1 season (0-7) is to build an environment and culture that demonstrates consistent boundaries and unconditional love. Expressing love can be done through simple things like responses to physical needs, affection, kind words, warmth of tone, and eye contact.
However, we mustn't underestimate the importance of predictable patterns, rhythms, and routines in this stage of life.
Jesus built security with his disciples. He ate with them and he prayed with them (I wrote about this a bit more here). He modelled regular patterns of retreat from the world and engagement with community.
Predictable patterns build security.
One in ten families in the UK never have an evening meal together, one in 5 only spend less than 10 minutes together around the dining table. I was blessed to grow up in a family where it all happened around the table. Daily dinner was a normal and precious occurrence, so developing that with our kids felt normal. We have journeyed on this and now we have both breakfast and tea together every day (with at least one of us). We sit down and reflect on the day approaching or the day we have had. We pray for each other and engage with God's word. It's noisy, fun and full of opportunities to discipline! It enables our children to know they will get daily quality time that is so necessary in maintaining the relational connection between us as a family.
I shared in the last post how there was a lot of fear at play in the upbringing of my children before I realised I could take the lead in my home. One of the places that fear played out was in the area of discipline. I think under the surface I used to believe that my kids wouldn't know that I loved them if we were always disciplining them. There was far too much consensus of opinion. Both my husband and I are leaders, so it's no surprise that we have 3 strong little leaders emerging. The problem with creating an environment of consensus too early, is that it causes a vying for that leadership position in the family that rightfully belongs to the parents. It creates a lot of boundary pushing and stress.
I've now discovered that discipline is part of love. Love is best expressed through a balance of both invitation and challenge. It's how Jesus led his disciples and how He still leads us by His Spirit. Discipline is not purely about punishment as I used to think, but about creating an environment where through consistent and clear boundary setting of what's expected, children feel safe and can learn how to interact with the world.
"Discipline is an external boundary, designed to develop internal boundaries in our children."
This is the time in their lives to set up rhythms and routines that enable and develop their own growing self-discipline. A simple example of this in L1 (0-7) would be bedtimes. We set bedtimes from 6 weeks old. We are the parents, they are the children. Highly directive. Now, that didn't always mean that as babies they settled at exactly 7pm! But every night we did the same things so that by 6 months they knew instinctively 'this is what we do'.
Tea. Bath. Story with milk. Bed.
We did the same things every day and in every house that we stayed in. Sharing our evening time was not up for grabs. Did they try and negotiate on it? Of course they did, let me remind you I have 3 little leaders. But we decided that evening time was ours, and that sleep was what made a happy family.
L1 and L2 is the time to create the culture that you want your children to both thrive in but also to imitate. Your children will follow you, so the culture you create in this season will enable both good and bad imitation!
We have found that one strong area of imitation in our family is around communication. The more peaceful Andy and I are in our communication as a couple, the better the interaction is between the children in our home.
It really is a direct correlation: If we are dishonouring in the tone and the way we speak to each other as a couple, our children will do the same.
Our children will look to us to find a reference of normality. L1 is the time to set what that 'normal' looks like for each family. Personally, we get this wrong a lot (!) but when disagreement occurs in our family, we work it out, say sorry, and forgive each other. We really emphasise the need to make it up. We are trying to bring up people that won't pretend to be perfect, but rather admit their flaws and know how to deal with them.
As the children get older, approaching L2, they start to face the real world. They start to realise that there are families, lifestyles, and beliefs out there in the world that are very different to how their families live. We need to not be afraid of this. I have had conversations with Christian parents who really struggle with sending their children out in to the big wide world. I felt a hint of this as we sent our eldest to senior school last year. Every other educational environment he had encountered was fairly protective, but this was a whole new challenge. He is definitely at a different stage of life to our younger kids and we have learnt that he needs the time to process all that he is encountering in life. We have chosen to make ourselves more accessible and create opportunities, usually at bed times, when he can have a high amount of discussion with us. We are finding that we are coaching him through life at the moment. This quality time enables him to feel that he is sent out into the world, but our home is the place he can come back to, re-group, feel secure, process, and then go back out.
We certainly don't have this all nailed down! But reflecting on the way Jesus led has empowered us to really understand and know both what kind of culture we want to build in our home, and the needs our children have and addressing those appropriately.
In our next post I will be looking at how the challenges and joys we face in the teenage years (L3 and L4) can be infused with the wisdom of Jesus' teaching and leadership.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. 3 John 1:4
Monday, June 27, 2011
Tuesday, June 7, 2011
the untaken photo
I took 800 photos in Alabama...not all of the tornado, as unreal as the tornado devastation was, there are so many things to take photos of, I could not stop there. At the time when I was taking them, they all seemed so important...I could not take it all in and I thought maybe I could really capture it as I was seeing it. Impossible! There is no way to get the peripheral, the smells, the sounds...all of it together makes those pictures so disappointing when trying to bring it home to share the moment with others.
There was one photo that I didn't take...why is it that the one I didn't take is the one that I think about the most, the one that keeps showing up over and over in my mind since I returned and tried to get life back to normal again.
It was my first day in the field doing casework. I divided my team up to canvas an area completely wiped out, since you could see across the whole area emptied homes and trees, safety was not a problem, so I sent each of us in a different direction to post fliers. As I came to an area that once held a large trailer park, whatever had been left by the tornado had been scooped into piles along the road. There halfway down what used to be the roadway, was a family. I made my way to them. They didn't see me walking up. Their backs were to me as they stood examining what used to be their home. I paused for a moment, so tempted to snap a photo, this was such an intimate moment, so touching, so much a part of why I became a volunteer. To be able to be there to comfort, to do what little I am able to ease some of the hurt that has happened to them. I did not take my camera out, no, that is not why I was there, I was there to help them, not bring home a trophy photo. The mother noticed me finally and turned around. I asked her the usual opening questions and began opening a case for them. I didn't even get past the first few questions before the Mom and I were both in tears. It was such a sad case...I could not help but put myself in that woman's place. There were so many similarities. She and I are the same age. She had her daughter and son-in-law and grandkids living with her. When the storm hit, they took cover in the bath tub as so many other families had done. They had a mattress over them. When it was over, the 5 week old baby boy was injured. He died 3 days later from head trauma. As I tried to put the story down on our form, she handed me a little paper from his funeral. His tiny little eyes looked up at me from the photo, I could hardly make out the details because my eyes were so watered up. He had been buried just the day before. I stopped all the paperwork, dropped my pen and just hugged the crying grandmother. She assured me that they would be OK, that they knew God was in charge of their lives and He would help them put their lives back together again. Eventually, I managed to finish up the casework, gave her the Red Cross supplies and she walked back to her family that was still sorting through the pile. That is when I noticed the bathtub that had held them through the storm. It had a huge X in orange in it, showing that the rescue searchers had been there. I wondered how in the world 3 adults and 2 babies even fit in it...maybe that is part what saved them. The son-in-law pulled out a stuffed animal, he held hit up, looked over at the rest of them and tossed it back into the heap. The Mom had her arm around her daughter, the daughter had her surviving child on her hip and the son-in law reached over and took ahold of his Mother-in-laws' hand. Then they all turned and got into their car and left. I didn't see them put anything into the car. I can't help but think of this family each day. Their silhouetted backs against the devastation. A picture forever in my mind, love, sadness, a family bonded, hope and faith.
The stories are unending...all such great loss. Fear, pain, mourning, some questioning WHY they were still alive when others died, why the home in the middle was fine, but the rest gone. One older man said "Sure I was scared...I'm not afraid of going to Heaven, it is just the getting there that scares me"

Ada orang kata perempuan tak perlu pandai. Yang penting kahwin orang kaya. Duk rumah menghabiskan duit laki sudah.
Ada orang mencemuh bila perempuan yang belajar tinggi-tinggi akhirnya jadi suri rumahtangga. Kata mereka perempuan-perempuan ni menghabiskan duit mak bapak bayar yuran dan menghabiskan duit suami bayar pinjaman pengajian.
Pandai bukan setakat untuk dapat sijil dan cari kerja. Kalau ada yang fikir macam tu takziah aku ucapkan. Sempit sungguh pemikiran.
Hari ni sekali lagi sains membuktikan bahawa perempuan mesti jadi pandai untuk melahirkan generasi yang bijaksana.

Children's intelligence is inherited from their mothers, study finds
New research has challenged past idea that intelligence comes from both the mother and father.
Sep 15, 2016
New research published in Psychology Spot has found that genes behave differently depending on whether they're passed from your mum or dad - and when it comes to smarts, that can only come from mum.
That's because the genes that determine intelligence are found on the X chromosomes, and women have two of those while men only have one. Even if smarts are passed on from the father's side, it simply stays "deactivated" because of the gender of the origin.
Another study from Scotland in 1994 surveyed subjects aged 14 to 22 and found that the best indicator of their IQ's was the IQ's of their mothers.
But it's not just genetics that factor into a child's intelligence. Previous studies have also found that mothers' physical and emotional contact with their children can impact how well they learn.
The University of Minnesota found that children who've formed strong bonds with their mothers have the ability to play complex symbolic games by the age of two.

As Standard is about to change slightly and evolve into a new format, I wanted to do something different for a local FNM one night. I decided to go Old School and give props to a good friend of mine, Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas. He and I go back to when I opened less than a box of Mirrodin Besieged at a prerelease (18 packs from 1 box and 14 packs from another) and he graced me with his presence…4 times. I knew then he would be by my side to bring out the Phyrexian in me. Here is our story…
As it was Thursday, I was pondering what I wanted to play for Friday Night Magic. I typically do not have a ton of time on my hands to take apart decks and rebuild new ones all the time so I usually play about the same deck or two. Lately it has been Esper Solar Flare, which I did a deck tech on a week or two ago. I have always loved playing Esper (Blue, Black, and White) and with the cool things like Forbidden Alchemy and Unburial Rites, who wouldn't? It has been doing great but on this day, I awoke with a different perspective. Before I went to work, I looked through my binder and the decks I had prebuilt to see what I could come up with. I wanted to brew something that was currently different in the meta, had a theme, and most importantly, unexpected. I sort my binder by colors and when I got to the near end of it…my answer had arrived. It was Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas and he was starring at me with his lifeless eyes…black eyes…like a dolls eyes (Jaws reference). It was then, I knew what I had to do…
I have played Tezzeret a few times before and its a super fun deck. He is the closest thing to Jace we have in the format and he cost only 4 mana! My 2 previous lists were a custom brew and Shouta Yasooka list from Worlds. Since we had some new cards I wanted to try and incorporate some even though the Innistrad block isn't really an artifact block. After some deliberating I chose the list below. Keep in mind this was built on the fly with no testing and kind of geared toward my local FNM meta game (Delver, Infect, Wolf Run, and Zombies).
U/B Tezzeret Control by Adam Arndt
What I love most about this list is, no matter what, no card is never dead with a Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas out on board. Playing infect and draw a Grafdigger's Cage? No problem. Tezzeret will bless him with the power of the Phyrexians and let your 5/5 Cage do some work. I also like having Cavern of Souls in this list…a lot. It lets you resolve key finishers in the middle to late game after you have controlled the board. It also helps you get to 5 or 6 mana by slamming down a Solemn Simulacrum for lots of card advantage.
The main deck Grafdigger's Cage is a meta call, but honestly in this type of deck its a given. I might even go as far as running two since Delver is a tough matchup and having one cage in play lets you fight against a now fair deck. Tumble Magnets lets you stop sworded up creatures or Titan's. A great card that goes hand in hand with Magnet and Tezzeret is Contagion Clasp. This card is SO good in that you can get to Tezzeret ultimate one turn earlier and keep your magnet charged up for playing the lock down game. Besides the obvious Wurmcoil Engine, I added some spice by throwing in Grave Titan and Frost Titan. Like all Titan's, they are great at putting an end to any nonsense your opponent is trying to do. Vapor Snag? Sure, but I still have two 2/2 zombies in play. You fetched up Kessig Wolf Run? Easy game. I'll keep your Titan tapped with Frosty the Snowman (Frost Titan) and redirect your land fireball with my Spellskite.
The old lists played Sphere of the Suns, which I do like, but chose to go with Pristine Talismans. The reason being is I am running 4 Go for the Throats and 4 Mana Leaks and I want to establish myself as the Control Player. I need to leave 2 mana up on turn 2 even if I don't have anything. This is to make my opponent potentially play around my counter magic or removal (or my bluff). GFTT is better than Doom Blade main currently because of Zombies coming in and out depending on where you play. I can bring in Doom Blade's from the board if needed. I am not too concerned with Inkmoth Nexus as Curse and Magnet keep them from coming over and Spellskite stops them from being top heavy.
I dont have my exact notes from the FNM that I used this list in, but I did make it to top 4 after the Swiss rounds. My other competitors who made top 4 with me decided it was late so we all chopped, which I was happy with as I had work the next day. I took only 1 loss in the tournament to a friend of mine, Tylor Groover, who was playing my Delver deck. Im not hatin though as he was just another Average Joe like myself…
As a side note: Out of all the times I have played Tezzeret, this tournament was the first time I never missed on finding an artifact from Tezzeret's +1 ability. I played 18 artifacts, it might just be the best number for the deck.

The state director who oversees Ohio's prisons, including two where an outbreak of COVID-19 infected thousands of inmates, has tested positive for the coronavirus.
Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction Director Annette Chambers-Smith received her positive test result Monday, the department announced in a press release.
Chambers-Smith was tested Friday, when she started to feel ill. Her symptoms are "mild," according to the release, and she "is currently working from and managing her symptoms at home."
Contact tracers are trying to determine who might have come into contact with Chambers-Smith at the department's Operation support Center. Most employees have been working from home, according to the press release.
The director has not been inside a prison since June 26, and she last worked at the Operation Support Center last Tuesday.
Early in the onset of the pandemic in Ohio, COVID-19 ripped through several state prison's. Marion and Pickaway correctional institutions were particularly hard hit.
But it has slowed in the last few months. As of Monday, 77 prisoners have died from the coronavirus, and 11 more deaths likely are linked to the outbreak. Another five prison staff members also have died.
"For months, managing COVID within Ohio's prisons has been my single highest priority," Chambers-Smith said in a prepared statement. "While I am focusing on my health and doing what is recommended – which is to monitor my symptoms and self-quarantine, I will continue to ensure DRC is taking all necessary steps and precautions to maintain the health and safety of all of our staff and incarcerated population. Our agency continues to be in good hands, and we are working together as a team during these challenging times."
In all, 934 prison staffers have had COVID, along with 4,423 inmates. The system reports 140 staffer with active cases, and 129 inmates.
Dispatch reporter Randy Ludlow contributed to this story.

Kitchen Design Cheshire
Tip for Kitchen Design Cheshire with Timeless Design appeal is to focus on good quality appliances which will last. Instead of buying gimmick items, go for appliances which are functional, hard-working, reliable, and durable. Your custom kitchen will, if it's well designed, feature special nooks for your fridge, stove, washing machine, dryer etc. It's a good idea to make allowance for this when you are in the planning stages. That's the advantage of custom kitchens – you can allow for all these considerations, as well as your own design aesthetic.
