This article works as a continuation of the Last article on the Shroud.
Why is it important to explore deep issues about the Lord? There are many reasons, but the most important reason is that the more particular and the deeper a conception we have of the Lord the greater the love we have for Him, and the presence of this love in our heart and minds has huge implications in the light of heaven. To know is to love, and to love is to know. The two together elevate each other to a higher reception and growth. To love the Lord and the Word elevates our ability to perceive its truths. It is little known that the Word protects itself from the profane by having an internal and an external sense. The external is the protector, for if one only engages the Word in the external little harm can be done. The internal is meant only for the sincere, and those who see it is sacred, and will stand by it to the end. Deep desire and love for the Word opens the door to the internal of it. It is also why a responsibility comes with knowing the Word, that is, to be faithful to it to the end of life – for to love it, and then later turn against it is the worst kind of profaning, and causes the worst of all states in the spiritual world. (The reader can see articles on the subject of profanation in this blog.) Some people believe they cannot know about heaven and God; that it is all beyond their reach and a total mystery. That is certainly true in a sense, but with great desire we can reach into it much more than we think. The Word is the way that has been given to us to study and know God in our hearts. In truth there is no writing that exists that is like the Word – for only the Word possesses an internal sense that serves the purpose of conjoining humanity to heaven. The shroud of Turin may be the only thing comparable to the fact the Word has an internal and external sense; the reason being that it is a picture form of the Lord that has an external and internal sense. By giving us information about Himself in image form we gain further knowledge that He existed, that He resurrected, and that He is God.
Now here is the essence of the answer to the question as to why it is important to make these kind of studies: The deeper the conception and love we have for the Lord while here on earth the more wonders and truths will be open to us in heaven. Because we loved him here and looked into the mysteries here seeds are implanted in our mind and soul that can be opened to our perception a hundredfold in heaven. Swedenborg tells that in his journeys to heaven he could only visit realms that he had some knowledge of rooted in his memory. This shows how profoundly connected is the mind to the spirit and heaven! For example he could not go to the spiritual societies of India because he had not been there, and because he did not have knowledge of it. The human form is a little heaven in potential, and since the whole of heaven is in the human form, all things are connected by correspondence between them, including access. The loves and knowledge that in-root in our mind and heart here are like seeds that, in the spiritual light of heaven, bloom into great trees, fruits, and flowers – far beyond what we could now imagine. These seeds are avenues that lead down expansive paths of astounding wonder ever deeper and deeper. Great mysteries are opened that lead to greater and greater mysteries!

MMF Announces Multi-Million Dollar Financial Support Programs for Métis Students and Recent Grads
July 27, 2020
MMF Announces Multi-Million Dollar Financial Support Programs
for Métis Students and Recent Grads
Winnipeg, Manitoba – Today, the Manitoba Metis Federation (MMF) launched two new programs to provide financial support for Métis post-secondary students and recent graduates. This includes approximately $10 million to support Métis students pursuing post-secondary education, and an additional $1.8 million dollars to support students who have been financially impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic with the MMF COVID-19 Emergency Student Assistance Program.
Through the Post-Secondary Education Support Program (PSESP), the MMF will provide $6.6 million to Métis students attending university during the 2020/2021 academic year. In addition, the MMF Metis Employment and Training Program estimates that it will invest an additional $4 million to fund Métis students in colleges and those Métis students in the last year of their University degree program.
Recognizing that Métis students have been hit hard by the COVID 19 pandemic, MMF President David Chartrand also announced the creation of the MMF Emergency Student Assistance Program (ESAP). Through this initiative, the MMF will invest an additional $1.8 million to support students who have demonstrated that they are in financial need and require funds in order to stay in school, or need assistance finding a job after graduating from university or college.
Both programs were created in partnership with the federal government.
"Thanks to the MMF's historic partnership with the Government of Canada, Métis students will be able to pursue a post-secondary education, without worrying about the financial burden, for years to come," said Joan Ledoux, MMF Minister of Provincial Education. "These programs give our Citizens an incredible head start and helps to secure the future success of our Manitoba Métis Community."
The 2020-2021 academic year marks the PSESP's second intake session. Last year, the PSESP provided more than $2.3 million in direct financial support to 540 Métis students living in Manitoba. The PSESP is part of a 10-year Post Secondary Education Accord, ensuring Métis students in Manitoba will have access to financial and other student supports over the next decade. This year, the MMF announced that the program will not have an intake deadline and students will be able to apply at any time during the academic year.
Complementing the PSESP, the ESAP will provide eligible students with additional assistance to ensure they succeed in school. The amount of additional assistance will be based on need. A dedicated, confidential web site has been established for students and graduating PSE students to apply.
"The MMF Emergency Student Assistance has been put in place so that no student gets left behind," said MMF President David Chartrand. "On behalf of the Manitoba Métis Government, we are proud to be in a position to support our Métis students through the COVID-19 pandemic."
The MMF invites Métis students pursuing post-secondary education, and recent Métis graduates, to visit www.MMFeducation.ca and begin their application process for both the PSESP and the ESAP.
For more details about the Post-Secondary Education Support Program and the Emergency Student Assistance Program, applicants can contact the PSESP Coordinator at email@example.com or by calling the Louis Riel Institute at 204-984-9480.
Believe in Yourself; Believe in Métis.
The Manitoba Metis Federation (MMF) is the official democratic and self-governing political representative for the Métis Nation's Manitoba Métis Community. The Manitoba Métis are Canada's Negotiating Partner in Confederation and the Founders of the Province of Manitoba.

Mother Daughter Poems
You brushed my hair and tucked me in,
Made me laugh for hours on end.
You kissed my boo-boos when I fooled around.
Mommy, you never let me down.
You held my hand as I got my shots
Then took me for ice cream that hit the spot.
You bought me Polly-Pockets and Barbies too.
Mommy, there's no one quite like you
You held my hand as I walked through the door,
Then you met my teacher as I stared at the floor.
You told me it'd be fun, and I'd make friends too,
And for that reason, Mommy, I love you.
You listened to me talk about the drama and boys
Then taught me how to handle it with class and poise.
You spoke with wisdom and of things you know.
You love to hear me say, "Mommy, you told me so."
You love the Lord with all you heart,
And you're kind and gentle and pretty and smart
If I could be anyone, I'd pick you
'Cause, Mommy, the world would be better with two of you.
You've taught me so much, with more in store
And with each day that passes, I love you more.
~by Madisyn B.
To My Mother
You too, my mother, read my rhymes
For love of unforgotten times,
And you may chance to hear once more
The little feet along the floor.
~by Robert Louis Stevenson
A Mother's Love
A mother gives her children
Stepping stones to the stars
Her love is unconditional
Her heart has no bars
A mother teaches her children
To be confident and bold
Her special love for her children
More valuable than silver or gold
A mother picks up her children
And wipes away life's tears
She scares away monsters in the night
And silences life's fears
A mother celebrates
Her children's accomplishments in life
She hurts and cries with them
When life brings times of strife
A mother shares her love freely
With her tender loving way
She grows more beautiful
To her children with each passing day
Mother, I'm grateful
for all these things that you do
And on this special Mother's Day
I want you to know how much I love you
~By Kathryn Ann
A Poem For Mom
You are the sunlight in my day,
You are the moon I see far away.
You are the tree I lean upon,
You are the one that makes troubles be gone.
You are the one who taught me life,
How not to fight, and what is right.
You are the words inside my song,
You are my love, my life, my mom.
You are the one who cares for me,
You are the eyes that help me see.
You are the one who knows me best,
When it's time to have fun and time to rest.
You are the one who has helped me to dream,
You hear my heart and you hear my screams.
Afraid of life but looking for love,
I'm blessed for God sent you from above.
You are my friend, my heart, and my soul
You are the greatest friend I know.
You are the words inside my song,
You are my love, my life, my Mom.
~By Champagne S. Baker
To My Dearest Mother
My mother is a special part
Of all that's cherished in my heart,
She is my pearl, my soul, my mate;
She is the one to make life great.
She is an angel without the wings,
Who makes life special with the littlest things,
Whenever I'm in need of love,
She is there from the heavens above;
Whenever I'm in need of a shoulder,
There's no one as devoted as my mother.
Her presence and love have always been there,
Everything in her nature is to only care.
With every soft hug and kiss
The world seems more beautiful and blessed.
I'm sorry for all the times I caused you pain,
But after these brief storms my love still remains.
I love you so much,
I will love you forever-
I wrote your name on my heart
And it will stay there forever, and ever...
~By Kirsten Rollander
A Prayer for a Mother's Birthday
Lord Jesus, Thou hast known
A mother's love and tender care:
And Thou wilt hear, while for my own
Mother most dear I make this birthday prayer.
Protect her life, I pray,
Who gave the gift of life to me;
And may she know, from day to day,
The deepening glow of Life that comes from Thee.
As once upon her breast
Fearless and well content I lay,
So let her heart, on Thee at rest,
Feel fears depart and troubles fade away.
Her every wish fulfill;
And even if Thou must refuse
In anything, let Thy wise will
A comfort bring such as kind mothers use.
Ah, hold her by the hand,
As once her hand held mine;
And though she may not understand
Life's winding way, lead her in peace divine.
I cannot pay my debt
For all the love that she has given;
But Thou, love's Lord, wilt not forget
Her due reward,--bless her in earth and heaven.
~By Henry Van Dyke
Nursing You
On the first night
of the full moon,
the primeval sack of ocean
& I gave birth to you
little woman,
little carrot top,
little turned-up nose,
pushing you out of myself
as my mother
me out of herself,
as her mother did,
& her mother's mother before her,
all of us born
of woman.
I am the second daughter
of a second daughter
of a second daughter,
but you shall be the first.
You shall see the phrase
"second sex"
only in puzzlement,
wondering how anyone,
except a madman,
could call you "second"
when you are so splendidly
conferring even on your mother
firstness, vastness, fullness
as the moon at its fullest
lights up the sky.
Now the moon is full again
& you are four weeks old.
Little lion, lioness,
yowling for my breasts,
rowling at the moon,
how I love your lustiness,
your red face demanding,
your hungry mouth howling,
your screams, your cries
which all spell life
in large letters
the color of blood.
You are born a woman
for the sheer glory of it,
little redhead, beautiful screamer.
You are no second sex,
but the first of the first;
& when the moon's phases
fill out the cycle
of your life,
you will crow
for the joy
of being a woman,
telling the pallid moon
to go drown herself
in the blue ocean,
& glorying, glorying, glorying
in the rosy wonder
of your sunshining wondrous
~By Erica Jong
All You Are To Me
Thank you, Mom...
for the love, strength, and care
for in this world that is quite rare
for being my guardian and my guide
on those sad days when I cried
I'm proud of you because...
you never gave up hope when the times were hard
you kept going forward through it all, yard by yard
you have never let others change who you are
you have always shown me that you're my favorite star
you move through the unknown with strength
no matter how far the length
I would have never been here today....
without your motherly advice
without your ultimate sacrifice
without the support I needed
I never would have succeeded
without your unbounded love
I could never stay above
I just wanted you to know....
I will always stand by your side
I will give back and be your guide
I will fight for you in the hard times
even if all I have are a few dimes
I will never lose my faith in you
my love for you is always true
I will always be there
on those days you are hurt and sad
and you feel everything is going bad
I will hold you in my arms and say
I'm glad to be with you here today
when you feel you are alone
I will be your chaperone
So thank you, Mom,
I love you so much!
never forget, the support and love I have for you will never diminish,
you are one of the strongest people I know,
so don't let anyone else's evil decisions or careless actions
change who you are today.
you are better than all of them and stronger in every way
~By Jessie
Precious Gift
When times seem too hard to bear and I feel like giving up
I vision your beautiful face, the twinkle of your eyes and things of such
The bond we created from my womb to the day you were born
Is a mother and daughter bond that can never be torn
With the strength and guidance of God and the blessings he pours down from above
I want to be the best mom I can be to you and embrace you with all my love
You are as precious as a flower and as gorgeous as a rose
You have been specially made to the very tip of your nose
You are as sweet as honey; such an innocent young child
You are brighter than any star in the sky every time you smile
I want you to be proud of who you are and strive to be the best
Put forth efforts to achieve your goals and let God do the rest
I will always be your mother first, but I'm also your friend
You are the most precious gift, that I've ever been given
Mother and Child
One night a tiny dewdrop fell
Into the bosom of a rose,--
"Dear little one, I love thee well,
Be ever here thy sweet repose!"
Seeing the rose with love bedight,
The envious sky frowned dark, and then
Sent forth a messenger of light
And caught the dewdrop up again.
"Oh, give me back my heavenly child,--
My love!" the rose in anguish cried;
Alas! the sky triumphant smiled,
And so the flower, heart-broken, died.
~ by Eugene Field
'M' is for the million things she gave me,
'O' means only that she's growing old,
'T' is for the tears she shed to save me,
'H' is for her heart of purest gold;
'E' is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
'R' means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell 'MOTHER,'
A word that means the world to me.
~By Howard Johnson
This Angel to Whom I was Given
One day I was given to an Angel in disguise
Who's beautiful, yet her fragile wings were tattered beyond recognize
But this Angel to whom I was given, what a heart of gold had she
Who had yet to realize how important she would be
This Angel to whom I was given is so selfless, so giving as can be
Who shares her gift of mercy so that others may be free
This Angel to whom I was given is so faithful, so true
Who would lay down her own life if it meant salvation of one or a few
This Angel to whom I was given is so thoughtful, so kind
Whose never-ending love and prayers are the reason I'll be fine
This Angel to whom I was given is a blessing, my hero all the time
I am so proud to call her Mom, this beautiful Angel of mine
~By Megan Cummings
Sonnets are Full of Love
Sonnets are full of love, and this my tome
Has many sonnets: so here now shall be
One sonnet more, a love sonnet, from me
To her whose heart is my heart's quiet home,
To my first Love, my Mother, on whose knee
I learnt love-lore that is not troublesome;
Whose service is my special dignity,
And she my loadstar while I go and come
And so because you love me, and because
I love you, Mother, I have woven a wreath
Of rhymes wherewith to crown your honored name:
In you not fourscore years can dim the flame
Of love, whose blessed glow transcends the laws
Of time and change and mortal life and death.
~By Christina Rossetti
My Miracle
From the moment you were born
I knew what love was really about
I loved you more than anything
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
The bond I felt was unbreakable
And instantly I knew
That I would spend eternity
Thanking God for my miracle, you
Time has quickly passed us by
And now you're quite the little lady
But in my eyes you will always be
My precious little baby
One day in the future
God will bless you with a miracle too
Then you will know the depth of love
That I will always have for you
I will be here for you always
And forever and a day
Loving you unconditionally
Every step along the way
~By KRISTEN DAVID
Mommy Dearest
Mommy Dearest you will always be
My mother so loving and so loved by me
For God has taken you to be by his side
Now in Heaven is where you will reside
You have blessed my life in so many ways
I will cherish our memories until the end of my days
You left me too soon and this was not part of our plan
But God's wishes always come before those of man
Without you I must travel the path alone
No longer my guide, the way you had shown
Your heart my have been weak, but you were strong
For your loving embrace I will always long
God sent you to me as a special gift from above
To teach me life's lessons and shower me with your love
I will always remember your beautiful and smiling face
In my heart you will always have a very special place
A special bond we shared like no other
For this is possible for only Daughter and Mother
I thanked God for each day we were able to share
But without you in my life it is too difficult to bear
Being with God, I hope you will find joy and peace
In this I can find comfort and some happiness at least
For Mommy Dearest you will always be
My Mother so loving and so loved by me
~By Deanne Finewood
Mother o' Mine
If I were hanged on the highest hill,
Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!
I know whose love would follow me still,
Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!
If I were drowned in the deepest sea,
Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!
I know whose tears would come down to me,
Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!
If I were damned of body and soul,
I know whose prayers would make me whole,
Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!
~By Rudyard Kipling
Her Eyes
Gone are the eyes that watched me grow
The eyes that were able to see into my soul
Together we climbed mountains and made it through the pain
Only to find out that someday it would be forever changed
As you've gotten weaker, I've gotten stronger
Able to take care of myself even though I didn't want to
You'd be proud of my wit, my confidence and my charm
People say I'm just like you and I know all about your charms
The eyes are in my heart, the eyes that saw my soul
But gone are the beautiful eyes, the eyes that watched me grow
~By Valarie M. Shea
To My Mother
Because I feel that, in the Heavens above,
The angels, whispering to one another,
Can find, among their burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of "Mother,"
Therefore by that dear name I long have called you-
You whBecause I feel that, in the Heavens above,
The angels, whispering to one another,
Can find, among their burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of "Mother,"
Therefore by that dear name I long have called you-
You who are more than mother unto me,
And fill my heart of hearts, where Death installed you
In setting my Virginia's spirit free.
My mother- my own mother, who died early,
Was but the mother of myself; but you
Are mother to the one I loved so dearly,
And thus are dearer than the mother I knew
By that infinity with which my wife
Was dearer to my soul than its soul-life.
~By Edgar Allan Poe
Mother's Love
Her love is like
an island in life's ocean,
vast and wide
A peaceful, quiet shelter
From the wind, the rain, the tide.
Tis bound on the north by Hope,
By Patience on the West,
By tender Counsel on the South
And on the East by Rest.
Above it like a beacon light
Shine Faith, and Truth, and Prayer;
And thro' the changing scenes of life
I find a haven there.

Mother's Are A Special Gift
Mothers are a special gift sent
from God above,
They bless us with their nurturing,
And fill us with their love.
They pick us up when we are down,
And when we're sad they know,
They're always there to lend a hand,
And guide us as we go.
And mothers are like special jewels
that can't be bought or sold...
A mother's love's more precious
than the rarest gem or gold.
Yes, mothers are a special gift sent
from God above,
And we'll be blessed forever with
their never ending love!

Because You're My Mom
Because you are my mom you loved me before I was ever seen
You thanked God for this miracle, this little human being
So exciting, yet fragile it all must have seemed to you then
Hearing my little heart beat inside you, now life begins
Because you are my mom no pain was too great for you to bear
Now you're a mother and I your child with joys and pains to share
And so into this world my life began each breath now on my own
One day we will look back at just how much I've grown
Because you are my mom you worried for me within your every bone
You finally let go of my little hand to take my first steps on my own
Because you are my mom you showed me through the years
To care about others and their feelings and the things that they hold dear
Because you are my mom you taught me right from wrong
Understanding that my faith in God will forever keep me strong
Showing me that being my own person is the only tool I'll need
When morals and values are your foundation to succeed
Because you are my mom you loved me enough to also be my friend
You would be right there in ways that no one could see or ever comprehend
When there was no way I thought you could ever understand
There you would be, non-judging and willing to lend a hand
Because you are my mom, God's gift to me was you
As your daughter I will always love you and promise to be true
I thank you for so many things and will try to never make you sad or blue
Because you are my mom, and one-day I will be a mother too
I pray I never forget all that you've been through
I am your daughter and in your image I am proud to be
By the grace of the Lord you were created, and then I came to be
~By Linda Arlene Fassett
Child and Mother
O mother-my-love, if you'll give me your hand,
And go where I ask you to wander,
I will lead you away to a beautiful land,--
The Dreamland that's waiting out yonder.
We'll walk in a sweet posie-garden out there,
Where moonlight and starlight are streaming,
And the flowers and the birds are filling the air
With the fragrance and music of dreaming.
There'll be no little tired-out girl to undress,
No questions or cares to perplex you,
There'll be no little bruises or bumps to caress,
Nor patching of stockings to vex you;
For I'll rock you away on a silver-dew stream
And sing you asleep when you're weary,
And no one shall know of our beautiful dream
But you and your own little dearie.
And when I am tired I'll nestle my head
In the bosom that's soothed me so often,
And the wide-awake stars shall sing, in my stead,
A song which our dreaming shall soften.
So, Mother-my-Love, let me take your dear hand,
And away through the starlight we'll wander,--
Away through the mist to the beautiful land,--
The Dreamland that's waiting out yonder.
~By Eugene Field
Thoughts of You
Memories of another time still come
To me and fill my mind, with thoughts
Of you when you were young. I lie awake
'Till the morning sun comes creeping
Through my window shade, as I dwell upon
Mistakes I've made. What I would give to
Go back in time and feel your little
Hand in mine. To cherish each fast and
Fleeting day. To hold you close and kiss
Away, each pain that life will have in
Store and try to give you so much more.
You are part and will always be, imbedded in the soul of me. While I'm
Here, I want to say, that I've loved you
Each and every day and when my time on
Earth is gone.
The privilege was mine to have been your Mom.
~By Paula Stone
What I learned From My Mother
I learned from my mother how to love
the living, to have plenty of vases on hand
in case you have to rush to the hospital
with peonies cut from the lawn, black ants
still stuck to the buds. I learned to save jars
large enough to hold fruit salad for a whole
grieving household, to cube home-canned pears
and peaches, to slice through maroon grape skins
and flick out the sexual seeds with a knife point.
I learned to attend viewings even if I didn't know
the deceased, to press the moist hands
of the living, to look in their eyes and offer
sympathy, as though I understood loss even then.
I learned that whatever we say means nothing,
what anyone will remember is that we came.
I learned to believe I had the power to ease
awful pains materially like an angel.
Like a doctor, I learned to create
from another's suffering my own usefulness, and once
you know how to do this, you can never refuse.
To every house you enter, you must offer
healing: a chocolate cake you baked yourself,
the blessing of your voice, your chaste touch.

Between A Mother and A Daughter
You are in my thoughts every step of my way.
Although you are grown and far away,
I know when you're happy or having a bad day.
Just being your mom, I know your way.
I remember the days when Dawnie and you
Would gaze out our window, enjoying the view.
the nightly ritual, forever in my head
of a piggy-back ride, on your way to bed.
I wish, so often for a moment with you
Not sharing this time, with all, that you do.
Although, I understand and truly care;
I still wish to reach out, and just stroke your hair.
there are times, when I wish, for a hug, and a kiss;
perhaps I just need to tell you all this.
~By Helene Kozinn
As I Watch You Grow
Do you know how much you mean to me?
As you grow into what you will be.
You came from within, from just beneath my heart.
It's there you'll always be, though your own life will now start.
You're growing so fast it sends me awhirl,
With misty eyes I ask, Where's my little girl?
I know sometimes to you I seem harsh and so unfair,
But one day you will see, I taught you well because I care.
The next few years will so quickly fly,
With laughter and joy, mixed with a few tears to cry.
As you begin your growth to womanhood, this fact you must know,
You'll always be my source of pride, no matter where you go.
You must stand up tall and proud, within you feel no fear,
For all you dreams and goals sit before you very near.
With God's love in your heart and the world by its tail,
You'll always be my winner, and victory will prevail.
For you this poem was written, with help from above,
To tell you in a rhythm of your Mother's heartfelt love!
~By Kay Theese
An Angel Left Her Wings
I have this little angel. For me she left her wings.
She has no idea how much happiness she truly brings.
She brightens up my days with her smiles and her laughs.
She helps me to remember all the blessings that I have.
Her face, it is so perfect, she's sweet and soft and pure.
Sometimes she can be willful and sometimes she is demure.
She tries her very hardest to please and do what's right.
She gives the greatest hugs from morning until night.
Every person that has known her sees this light within her soul
I know that in this whole great world, she has a special role.
She's helpful and considerate to everyone she knows
This light in her shines brighter as my angel grows.
When she sees someone is sad, it opens up her heart.
She wants to do all that she can; she wants to do her part.
She'll squeeze away the sorrow and make me forget about my pain.
She shows me where the sun is when we're hiding from the rain.
I know that God must love me, He showed me with His Grace
I knew just how completely when I saw my angel's face.
And in that very moment when she came into my world,
I knew that she was so much more than just my baby girl.
She would be my sunshine, with a sweetness that won't end.
And when she grows up one day she would be my closest friend.
She would be the reason I would always try my best.
For my little angel baby girl would be my greatest test.
When God entrusts to you an angel, who has left her wings for you.
Encircle her with love with everything you do.
Let her know God made her, and that He trusts you with her care.
Be sure to make time for special moments with her to share.
And when at night she finally says her prayers and goes to sleep
I Thank Him for my angel, and ask for him to always keep
A watchful eye and hand to protect her from this world.
Protect my little angel; protect my baby girl.
~By Tina M. Marascia
My Mom's Face
Oft I've felt that when it rains
I recall forgotten joys,
I recall moments lost,
I try to feel the touch,
That put back few strands
Of hair from my temple,
And lift my chin to ensure:
My eyes were tearless,
My expression fearless,
I recall the smile of love,
The twinkle of affection,
The squeeze of oneness,
I recall voices gone silent,
I recall the gas balloon
Dodging raindrops and soaring,
The paper-boats sinking
In the unstopping pitter-patter,
An unfortunate ant
Struggling for survival;
I can hear a voice calling me
From inside the house,
Warning me to be careful,
Not to get hurt;
But I, unheeded, putting my feet
Into the rushing stream,
Slipping and falling back;
Ah! that exhilarating feel
Of last raindrops
On my eager face,
The sight of a peerless rainbow
In my eyes wide-open;
That empathic shout,
I can still hear,
That hysteric rush,
I can still feel,
That agitated hand,
I can still see,
Her arm across my shoulder
And, I know she's there
With me………….

Dice, subitizing cards, center tubs, number lines – oh my! Our 1st grade math routines require so many resources and manipulatives. While Donors Choose, Go Fund Me accounts, and school funds are great options, homemade math tools can be a simple, inexpensive way to stock our math toolboxes!
Today I've shared some of my favorite and most-used math tools and resources that I've made for students! While I shared some of my all time Guided Math favorites, these tools are a little more affordable. I've included blog post links and Amazon affiliate links for easy shopping and reading throughout.
Ideas for Using Math Tools
Even if you already have these math tools in your classrooms, there are so many uses and reasons to make small and more inexpensive sets.
- Send Home with Students – These homemade tools are perfect for sending home with students. Perfect for at-home practice or resources for homework, you don't have to worry about these tools making it back to school!
- Math Centers – Do you ever have multiple math centers that need the same supplies? Rather than choosing a different center, these homemade supplies are a simple and inexpensive way to make sure you have the materials in all of your centers!
- Family Volunteers – I teach at a school blessed with many parent volunteers and university students. I love having a Math Toolbox ready for these awesome adults. Regardless of what we are learning about, I can add one of each of these tools and the adult and student are ready to learning and practice!
- Guided Math – My guided math groups are big – honestly, too big but that's a story for another day – and sometimes getting 8 of one supply is expensive! These homemade math tools are inexpensive to make, which is perfect for this teacher's budget!
Bead Racks ($7.54)
Before a math training in June, bead racks weren't part of my math toolbox. My students saw them on DreamBox, an online math program, but we didn't have them in our classrooms so I did not teach with them! After seeing these in action and after finding this FREE e-book with math talks and activity ideas, I knew I needed to make them!
Using the box from my latest Amazon order, red and white beads, and some elastic string and I was ready to go! I made bead bracelets with 10 beads on them (5 red and 5 white). Then, I stretched them over the cardboard. I prefer this way, rather than punching holes in the cardboard, because it makes the bed racks easy to level. Math groups can easily add and take away groups of 10 to get a just-right number for them!
We use 5 red and 5 white because the fluency standards in Kindergarten is 5, so this becomes a benchmark. Once students have mastered 5, having different colors allows students to easily subitize 5 – doubling it, counting back, counting forward, adding other groups of numbers to it. (If you're looking for other ideas, check out this FREE 46-page Ebook from The Math Learning Center.)
Dot Cards ($3.99)
Subitizing is the ability to quickly identify groups of objects. As students are able to subitize and quickly identify dot patterns, they are learning number combinations. It's the perfect way to introduce composing and decomposing numbers without even writing numbers. Showing students dot patterns and asking what they see is a perfect number talk for beginning-of-the-year first graders. While some friends might immediately see 5, others may see 4 and 1, and some may still need to individually count the 5 dots. Regardless, it gives you – as the teacher – a glimpse into their math thinking and is a simply way to get students talking about numbers!
I quickly and cheaply made these dot pattern cards with half-sheets of cardstock and Avery circle stickers! Add a binder rings keeps the cards easy to storage next to my SMART Board. You never know when you might have a few extra minutes for a number talk, so I like to have talks handy!
Pipe Cleaner Number Lines ($2.39)
Using pipe cleaners, left-over beads from your bead racks, and these FREE number line templates, you can create simple number lines that meet the needs of all of your learners. Different than a traditional number line, these number lines offer a bit more tactile experiences for learners who need to physically move a marker along a number line.
Punching a hole at the top and bottom of the number lines, you slide the pipe cleaner and bean through the holes and fold the ends over. I did add a piece of tape to the back to keep our littles from being poked by the ends of the pipe cleaner!
Ziploc Number Lines ($3.32)
I love the above number lines for students who need to physically manipulate a number line and love the option below for learning-on-the-go. When we have random minutes in the hallway, parent volunteers working with students in our learning nooks, or outside math with task cards – this is my go-to number line. Plus, the materials couldn't be less expensive! Anytime I need more number lines or number lines with different numbers, I grab some baggies from my kitchen and bring them to school!
Using the baggie slider as a place holder, makes these number lines portable and inexpensive to make. Plus, these baggies can carry task cards inside the baggie, perfect for learning on the go or in different places! They are so simple to differentiate and if they are torn or wet, it's no big deal.
If you're looking to stock your classroom with lots of math tools but are cash-strapped, these are some of my go-to math tools! Are there other math tools you've made for your classroom? I'm always looking for new ideas and love to hear what works in your classroom.
Join me for weekly classroom updates and free resources that are just-right for your guided math classroom!

Oracle Primavera has just released version 15.1 of it's flagship project management & scheduling software Primavera P6. But for the many who are users of Oracle Primavera software products, this release might come as a big surprise – especially since the last release (2014) was version 8.4.
But don't fret, there's a simple explanation to a seeming jump of 7 major software versions over the span of only 6 months.
The Primavera business unit is rebooting its software release numbering, starting with this release, labeled 15.1. The reasons, as Oracle Primavera explained on a recent broadcast, are focused on the increasing integrations between the Primavera software products. The new numbering will hopefully allow for less confusion around what version of a given Primavera product will integrate with another.
So for example, if your company is a user of Primavera P6 EPPM software, and you are looking to implement Primavera Analytics reporting, then you will have to align both tools on version 15.x to allow for the integration to work.
Or perhaps you would like to take advantage of Primavera Unifier's ability to manage costs alongside your project schedules in Primavera P6 Professional (windows). Then again you will need to ensure your company has the same compatible versions installed to achieve these 2 products working together in an integrated fashion.
Here's a visual of the new strategy.
Primavera Version 15.1
Based on this slide from Oracle, we can summarize the following:
- Version numbers will now be aligned to the year they were released. Releases in 2015 are 15.x. Releases in 2016 are 16.x.
- Primavera P6 will jump from release 8.4 to 15.1.
- Unifier will jump from release 10.1 to 15.1.
- Primavera Analytics will jump from release 3.4 to 15.1.
- Primavera Gateway will jump from release 14.2 to 15.1.
- Primavera Prime will jump from release 14.2 to 15.1.
- Instantis will jump from release 9.0 to 15.1.
- Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management (this is not P6) will jump from release 9.1 to 15.1.
- Primavera Contract Management will not adopt the new numbering and will remain on release 14.x.
What is Changing in Versions 15.1?
Oracle has stated that the jump to version 15.1 is identify to a minor update for their software. So, in the case of Primavera P6, jumping from 8.4 to 15.1 is the same as moving up a minor release to 8.5. There are no major platform or architectures changes as a result – it more cosmetic than anything.
Looking for a version history of Primavera P6 software? Check our version history page for details on major releases of P6 Professional.
Are There Other Implications?
My first instinct is that this new approach to Primavera software releases will simplify the lives of large customers who are implementing many Primavera products with the intent to have them integrated and working together. Companies will have to simply align versions to get the benefit.
In terms of software development and support, it sounds like Oracle Primavera doesn't want to focus much of its bandwidth on backwards compatibility of versions. The onus is on the customer to align versions. Customers who aren't paying annual maintenance fees to Oracle, which grants them access to updates and new versions at no cost (some exceptions apply – I'm not an expert on this) may have to shell out additional capital to upgrade their existing Primavera products if they are striving for an integration. However, that may be nothing new – many companies are slow to upgrade and tend to stay on a stable version of a Primavera product. However, adding backwards compatibility can often bloat an application and reduce performance as well.
Perhaps you have some perspective on how this might affect Primavera clients? Leave us a comment below.
What's new in Primavera Version 15.1?
Stay tuned for my next post and I'll share with you all of the new features and changes in Primavera P6 release 15.1.

Dear Beloved Daddy
Two days ago, Daddy had a major stroke. Sissy and I held him as Mom called 911. He is in the hospital now. Though his mind seems sharp, he can't speak. He can nod yes, or no. He can't move his right arm. He isn't able to swallow and has refused a feeding tube.
I believe heaven is very close right now. Please pray Dad will feel God's presence there with him and sense God's tender mighty arms wrapped around him, so he won't be afraid--and especially that he will not suffer.
Ah, our hearts are breaking.
Sissy Clytie said it best, "So many people from around the world are directing their thoughts and prayers toward Dad and Mom; and our entire family. My heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you."

Five Littlehampton swimmers travelled to Rugby on Saturday for the Midland Para Regional Competition, all swimming great PBs.
Caleb Grace, Joe Greaves, Marcus Harvey, Georgie Howell and Lewis Jones all competed. As they are from another region they were not eligible to win medals, but I know they would have won Gold in some events had they been able to!!
All five have qualified for the Para Winter Nationals in December.
With thanks to George Eames, our poolside coach.

Book Reviewer and Lover of Books
My Review of "Match Made in Manhattan" by Amanda Stauffer
Kudos to Amanda Stauffer , Author of "Match in Manhattan" for such an entertaining, witty and unique story. The blurb for the story states" The Awkward, Romantic, and Cringeworthy Struggles of Trying to Find The One in the Digital Dating Age." The genre for this book is Fiction and Women's Fiction. The story takes place in Manhattan.
What do you do when your boyfriend of several years is sort of hesitating, stalling, and indecisive of the next step in the relationship, of you moving in with him.? Your girlfriends are getting engaged, and in many cases you are the "Queen" of being the maid of honor. Well, our heroine Alison decides that it is time to move on in a new direction. Alison has had two long-term relationships and really is not sure what to expect in the dating scene. Alison luckily has the emotional support of her girlfriends, and her family, and signs up for "Match.com" an internet computer dating site.
The author describes her colorful cast of characters as complex, complicated and confused. The author uses a subtle sense of humor in her writing. I love the way Alison is close with her friends, and that her parents and brother have her back. This reminds me sort of "Sex in the City", with mostly Alison coming to grips with "Match.com" In this book, the author provides chapters of the various men that Alison meets. Alison is a hardworking single girl, and has certain rules for dating. Throughout the different stories, the author gives a feel that we have a front row seat to Alison's dating life.
Alison gets to meet a variety of men, with different personalities. Sometimes these meetings seem awkward, witty, challenging, and the exchanges through Match.com, texting and e-mail are intriguing. Often the outcomes are confusing. and the expectations are not what she expects. I do love the growth and perspective of life that Alison seems to have.
I enjoyed the author's perspective of the new world of online dating. I would highly recommend this delightful and heartwarming story to readers of Women's Fiction. I received An Advanced Reading Copy for my honest review.

(Pocket-lint) - In less than 24 hours we'll know Apple's plan for the future, but until then, that's not stopping the last bit rumour from hitting the wire.
The latest is from The Wall Street Journal, which reported on Sunday the new version of Apple's iOS - iOS 7 - will feature new ways to share photos and videos "with other iPhone users and other enhancements."
The report from the reputable US-based paper echoes what we've already heard from prominent Apple journalist Mark Gurman of 9to5mac, who reported last month that Apple will further service integration within iOS to include Flickr and Vimeo. Presumably, users will be able to access these services from the Camera Roll and Photos app within iOS to push media out to their friends. While The Wall Street Journal didn't mention it, there's also the possibility Apple might introduce AirDrop for iOS, which would gel well with the "with other iPhone users" part of the report.
In previous versions of iOS, Apple has included Facebook and Twitter integration for sharing statuses, photos, and more, from across the mobile operating system. Now, it makes sense for Marissa Mayer's (Yahoo) Flickr and high-quality video network Vimeo to join the fray. Why wouldn't we see Google's YouTube integrated throughout iOS? That absence could likely be boiled down to the relationship between Google and Apple, who have been competitive among their mobile operating systems and Map services for the past few years.
Many have suggested the opening keynote at WWDC on Monday will prove to be pivotal for Apple. According to reports from AllThingsD, Bloomberg, 9to5mac, and other publications, Apple will introduce a redesigned iOS that will reflect a flat design the company has been developing under famed-designer Jonathan Ive.
However, according to prominent Apple pundit John Gruber, who runs popular blog Daring Fireball, everything that has been leaked so far could be wrong. "I also heard from somebody that just 'all the leaks are wrong'," Gruber said on a recent podcast. "Which is interesting. I have no idea what to make of it."
Past the introduction of the new iOS, Apple is also said to be introducing Pandora-competitor iRadio, a new version of OS X, and MacBooks with Intel's new Haswell processor. In Sunday's report, The Wall Street Journal says: "The company is also expected to announce a long-expected streaming music service, new laptops and an update to its Mac operating system."
Pocket-lint will be live from San Francisco to bring you the latest from Apple's announcements, whether they match what we've already heard or not. You can follow our Apple hub for the latest developments. Check out the time table below to know what time things kick-off.

Three-dimensional Structures of Two Heavily N-glycosylated Aspergillus sp. Family GH3 β-D-Glucosidases
The three-dimensional structures of two industrially important family GH3 β-D-glucosidases from Aspergillus fumigatus and A. oryzae, solved by molecular replacement and refined at 1.95 A ̊ resolution, are reported. Both enzymes, which share 78% sequence identity, display a three-domain structure with the catalytic domain at the interface. Both enzymes show extensive N-glycosylation, with only a few external sites being truncated to a single GlcNAc molecule.
Those glycans N-linked to the core of the structure are identified purely as high-mannose trees, and establish multiple hydrogen bonds between their sugar components and adjacent protein side chains. The extensive glycans pose special problems for crystallographic refinement, and new techniques and protocols were developed especially for this work. The Aspergillus GH3 structures, in light of other recent three-dimensional structures, provide insight into fungal β-D-glucosidases and provide a platform on which to inform and inspire new generations of variant enzymes for industrial application.

In the Bay Area, the San Francisco Rapid Response Network, along with sister networks across California, serves as the front line of the local fight back against the current waive federal immigration mandates and propaganda. The network, the first of its kind in the country, maintains a 24-hour hotline where residents can call to report suspected Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) presence in their neighborhood hoping to receive quick legal support. Unexpectedly, the hotline's volunteers have become stewards for a confused and scared population who are desperate to find answers amid chaos. Using real phone calls, "Enforcement Hours" explores this abstract, faceless world. Anonymous callers, their intentions unknown, punctuate unpredictable movements across San Francisco.

Health Benefits 101: ASPARAGUS
Asparagus is a spring vegetable that's filled with nutrition. It used to be one of those vegetables that was considered a luxury, but now is simply found in most produce aisles. In some places, it's even available year-round. Asparagus is a former member of the lily (Lilaceae) family. It has fairly recently been assigned a unique family of plants bears its name—the Asparagaceae family. Asparagus is very low in calories at about 20 per serving (five spears), has no fat, and is low in sodium.
Though green asparagus is by far the most common, you may also have seen or tasted purple or white asparagus. Purple asparagus usually tastes a bit sweeter than green, while white asparagus has a milder, more delicate flavor.
Asparagus is native to most of Europe, western Asia and northern Africa. Asparagus was first cultivated about 2,500 years ago in Greece, and it's a Greek word that means stalk or shoot. there are more than 300 asparagus species grown around the world.
One cup of asparagus contains fewer than 30 calories.
Asparagus comprises potassium, a mineral that can help lower high blood pressure. As a good source of fiber, asparagus helps regularity and digestive health and may help reduce your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes.
Asparagus is a good source of antioxidants, including vitamins C and E, flavonoids and polyphenols. Antioxidants prevent the buildup of harmful free radicals and may decrease your risk of chronic disease. Packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, asparagus has been used as a medicinal vegetable for 2,500 years.
A low vitamin K consumption is connected with a higher risk of bone fracture. Just one cup of asparagus provides around half of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin K. The iron in asparagus also helps bones and joints to stay strong and elastic.
Not only is asparagus low in fat and calories, but it also contains lots of soluble and insoluble fiber, making it a good choice if you're trying to lose weight. Asparagus has a number of features that make it a weight-loss friendly food. It's low in calories, high in water and rich in fiber.
Asparagus is full of folate, a B vitamin that could lift your spirits and help ward off irritability. Researchers have found a connection between low levels of folate and vitamin B12 in people who are suffering from depression, leading some docs to prescribe daily doses of both vitamins to patients with depression.
Thinking of Ways to Cook an Asparagus?
