This video shows you how to prepare the advent wreath made out of gingerbread dough. It is a pretty basic wreath that can be easily made with kids!
Check our recipe for gingerbread dough or use your own recipe.
Tools used:
8.5cm Cookie Cutter
20cm Cake Tin or a bowl
Rolling Pin
Flour for dusting
Various Christmas themed cookie cutters
Royal Icing
Royal Icing:
1 Egg White (small-medium egg)
150g Icing Sugar
Beat the egg whites until fluffy (not stiff or white, just fluffy). Sift in the icing sugar and mix until smooth. It should be quite thick.
Now divide this into 3 bowls.
Bowl 1 = For Gluing – 2 tablespoons (this will act as your glue, if you think it's not thick enough, add some more icing sugar).
Bowl 2 = For Spreading the icing over the cookies – 4-5 tablespoons (thin it with some lemon juice – it should be runny but not too much)
Bowl 3 = For outlining & decorating the cookies & wreath – the rest of the icing.
Use clean plastic or ziplock bags for spreading and decorating. The one for spreading will have larger hole, the one for decorating should have smaller hole.
Make sure the cookies are completely cool before decorating.
Check out our video to see how to decorate and assembly the wreath.

We left off talking about my former autism website, Forming Horizons, and about a more traditional understanding of the word horizons as denoting limits rather than limitlessness. (more…)
Posted in Art, Christianity, Documentary, Education, God, Good, Movie Trailers, Movies, Religion, Video, tagged Adam and Eve, Brooklyn Castle, Brooklyn I.S. 318, Chess, Garden of Eden, Katie Dellamaggiore on November 24, 2013| Leave a Comment »
Just saw this movie a couple nights ago — I regret not having heard of it until recently.
I won't launch into a full-scale review or commentary, but I want to say a quick word about I.S. 318. While the school's thriving chess team is, in many ways, the main focus of this movie, chess is not the only thing I.S. 318 has to offer. They also offer their students a variety of great programs in the arts, music, technology, etc…and you get a nice snapshot of these at the beginning of the film.
Plus, they appear to have a very active student government; and whenever their school's programs are threatened with budget cuts, the students work hard to raise necessary funds — and with remarkable success.
The whole thing reminded me very much of the the story of Eden and God's original vision for humanity. When we hear "Garden of Eden," we typically think of God's prohibition: "Do not eat from that tree." But we tend to become so focused on the prohibition that we forget about the far greater permission given in the very same story.
God gave to our first parents the right and the mandate to cultivate the Garden. Many of the Early Christian Fathers saw in this His endorsement of the human project — of human flourishing in the arts, sciences, politics, and all of those very exciting things that show forth the dignity of God's children.
When we talk about educating "the whole child," we are getting at something much deeper than we think. Would the world be made magically perfect if a school like Brooklyn's I.S. 318 was replicated everywhere? By no means…but I hope you are presupposing my acknowledgement of this in reading this article. But I do think that in a school such as this, we can see something of the Edenic ideal in action.
One more thing: I was very impressed with the fact that the students in this documentary didn't whine about their school's budget problems or sit around waiting for the City to give them more money. They took ownership for their school, and for the programs that meant so much to them. That's another aspect of God's vision for humanity that we need to recover: Personal responsibility…agency…free will.
Anyway, I'd recommend the movie. (I would also recommend reading the first few chapters of Genesis, but one thing at a time :))

First Day of School 2019
Tempe Elementary kicked off the 2019-2020 First Day of School on August 5, 2019. This year, our district-wide theme is "Choose Kindness...Change the World!" If we all keep this simple concept in the forefront of all we do, our world would be a better place. We appreciate all our parents, staff, and students who are already demonstrating this concept this school year. We had an unforgettable first day and we are looking forward to an amazing year!


text: From January to April, Musana hosted a group of students from the Master of Arts Program in International Development and Service (MAIDS) from Concordia University in Portland, Oregon. Hosting the MAIDS program provided a unique opportunity for future development actors to learn about community development from a variety of models used by organizations in East Africa, a hotspot for international development to date. We were honored to showcase our own unique community development model, utilizing the greatest lessons we have learned in the past eight years!

Kings Beach lake
4 comments:
- Mr n mrs AgnewJuly 1, 2012 at 3:25 PM
Hi, that's all well and good!!! A nice place for walks n relaxing...but spare a thought for the traders of the flea market, who were rough stod removed from the walk way and dumped in the most inappropriate area next to the water rides.ReplyDelete
Spare a thought for the traders who depended on this income to support their household. spare a thought for the traders whose only source of income was trading every sunday at the kings beach flea market.
I have a deep feeling of loss, not only financially but also loss of family, over the years one develops a deep and meaningful relationship with others traders. Most of the traders come from far n wide, so its not always posibble to meet each other.
So, pray tell, was it worth it!!!! For just a walk in a park! We were told after the work is done, we could move back, we have lost nearly 7-8 months of income and we are all feeling the pinch..arg I could go on. Its from the heart

Does beg the question - why do we need a lake to sit beside when we have the sea right there? It already looks mucky. Don't like it much. Preferred the dunes from years ago. And my sympathies go to the traders.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 3, 2012 at 8:56 AM
A lake? not 100 meters from the ocean? While the pot holes in the road only get bigger, almost zero service delivery in certain areas in town, and lets not mention the shoddy way that events and such are handleD! i.e. the committee members for splash were elected less than a month before the event( I know because I wanted to get a stall for splash), Our fair city is bankrupt! but they can built a nice new lake in the most ridiculous of places. tell you what! how about trying to increase the level of drinking water. actually try and deliver services that we are expected to pay for, doing something about the enormous potholes around town, and not to mention moving the traders that have been in that area for years, what about them, but its o.k. because we have a new lake...IN WALKING DISTANCE OF THE SEA! In a little over a year, people will no longer visit this lake because either it will be used by vagrants to wash themselves or municipality will no longer clean it because OUR METRO IS BANKRUPT, SO THERE IS NO MONEY FOR SALARIES or any other of a myriad of possibilities that will only insure that our coastline will begin to degenerate into something that is little better than a sewage farm!ReplyDelete
My sympathies go to the traders as well and I can't understand why they haven't been moved back to the walkway yet, but its no use for people to rant here on my blog about it. This is purly a photo blog to show off my photos of this beautiful city so I can't do anything about it. In my view the Kings Beach development was much needed to revitalise the beachfront. Its been done very successfully in Durban over the last couple of years and we need to do it here as well. My only gripe about it is that the municipality needs to have a full time cleaner there to keep the stream and lake clean from rubbish blowing into it. As for the Kings Beach Traders. They are a key part of the beachfront and its activities and needs to be moved back. BUT, something has to be done to improve what they sell as there are way too much knockoff stuff, caps, sunglasses, bags, toys and other junk being sold.ReplyDelete

Scientists find new mechanisms in masculine fertility
A recent study conducted by CONICET scientists shows a mechanism of cell signaling of sperm unknown until now and with possible implementation in reproductive health clinic.
The study was entirely conducted by CONICET researchers and was published in Scientific Reports. It is about the detailed description of a mechanism by which the sperm of mammals acquire fertile capacity, which they lack at the time of ejaculation.
Mammalian sperms are not fertilizing at the time of ejaculation. In order to fertilize an egg, those sperm trigger a series of molecular events influenced by the environment of the female reproductive tract", explains Darío Krapf. He is a CONICET associate researcher and director of the Laboratorio de Cascadas de Señalización Celular of the Instituto de Biología Molecular y Celular de Rosario (IBR, CONICET-UNR).
"Without the machinery to synthesize new proteins, the sperm resorts to the modification of existing proteins to regulate their activity. For more than 20 years, this field of study revolved around the protein phosphorylation-dependent modifications. Our work shows that apart from this, protein acetylation plays an important role in sperm physiology", the scientist adds.
This study will serve as a starting point for the research on a new area in reproductive physiology, with direct application in the improvement of sperm samples for reproductive therapies.
The first author of this study, Carla Ritagliati, is a CONICET postdoctoral fellow at the Laboratorio de Cascadas de Señalización Celular of IBR. Other researchers who participated in the research were: doctoral fellows Carolina Baró Graf and Cintia Stival of the same laboratory; Guillermina Luque, assistant researcher, and Mariano Buffone, independent researcher at the Instituo de de Biología y Medicina Experimental (IBYME, CONICET-FIBYME).

Aliens on Earth
Are aliens real? are they here?
For as long as man has existed, he has looked at the sky. Finding meaning, and seeing celestial signs are only part of this ever growing universe. From the time of cavemen, we have seen things we can not begin to understand or explain and have depicted them on cave walls and in pictures and books across the world. There is more than we could ever imagine hidden in the stars, and we are only cutting the edge of what we can see. Believe me when I say, there is so much that we will find out in our life time.
With every day that passes we learn a little more about our selves, our way of living, our health, our capacity for technological advancement, and our knowledge of our ever expanding universe. Planets, moons, and stars are found, charted, and named everyday. For most us, we see the potential for life, but for some we are all there is.
It has been widely rumoured that there are aliens on earth and they take us away in our sleeps, study us, and any number of other things that they have been accused of. The fact is though, very little evidence supports their existence. I believe that the government has covered them up from us, maybe to ensure there is not widespread panic. No matter what though, I am sure they are here, and I am sure if they wanted to we would all be gone right now.
Does any look at the facts here? Does anyone realize that, hey, we are all still alive?
If they exist behind our eyes, I do not think they are here to hurt us. I instead wonder where they are from, with such habitable planets so close to use (in a manner of speaking) it seems possible. Look at the advancements we have made as a civilization in the past 5 years, the past 10 years, the past 100 years. We went from riding horses to flying jets in a relatively short period of time. We are a relatively new species, with humans as we are only being a couple of thousand years old and advancing. Now, if you will, imagine the civilizations that are millions of years old, and the technology and knowledge that they must possess. For them to get here, should be relatively simple.
If you watch the movie "Paul" you will see what I believe is a likely situation. We are force feed images of aliens, so that if we meet them we won't freak out and panic...a lot.
So what would that mean for us if they were here. Honestly, nothing. Really absolutely nothing. Would it be scary to know? Yes. It wouldn't, however, make much of a difference. First off, no one would believe you. Second off, if you found out they were here, then they have been here the whole time, and guess what, we are still alive, and living like normal. Yup, that is right, so if you need to know if aliens exist I have a couple of videos that you might want to watch.
Do you believe in Aliens on Earth? Have you ever seen an alien, or a ufo? If you have we need to hear from you. From the weird to the paranormal, and everything in between, if you want to know something, We will help. Just ask us and we will answer your questions. Keep believing.
We want to hear those UFO stories, no one will judge, if they do they will be booted from this site. So feel free to tell any story you want to about UFOs or Aliens.
Oklahoma city ufo sighting
Oklahoma City is home to the newest UFO sighting. A light caught on camera during the KOCO newscast, is the source of much speculation among the UFO community, and everyone else watching this for that matter. While some people are blaming fireworks, or just a plane, others people who believe are getting a definite glimpse of this outer worldly craft.
The 13 second video is nothing to turn a head at, watching for yourself it is not hard to miss, a beam of light across the sky. This camera located at the top of the grand casino, gives us a vantage point, other ufo investigators can only dream of. With all that is still unknown to us in the universe, an alien visiting a casino might not be that strange of a coincidence.

Aliens in new movies
Why are all aliens the same?
As long as I have been watching movies about aliens, or encounters, I have noticed they all look similar. We have long known our interpretation of aliens, since we were children. We are feed this image of extraterrestrial life, but why?
Why is that no matter what planet they are from they are all almost the same? I will say there are some that take it way away from the norm, when predator or aliens came out these marvels scared us. We saw different kinds of creatures, but for the most part still the same.
I could believe what was said in the movie "PAUL", an alien crash landed on earth, and the government slowly feed the world his image. This was so that we would not be scared when we finally saw him.
You know what, I kind of can't help but believe that. There is not a chance that extraterrestrial life exist. In a universe this large, with this many planets and galaxies, thinking anything else would be ludicrous.
So, in short, to me most aliens in new movies look the same, because these are the first ones we encountered. I think this means that we have been visited, and they may still be here.
Why use top secret areas?
In a lot of movies that have came out there have been secret bases pointed out, or used, and no one is hiding it. I think maybe there is a reason for that. Maybe, just maybe, they want to hide it in plain sight.
If you want to hide something, hide it where no one will look for it, right under their nose. It may be that they want to remove the mystery from these spots.
Area 51, in "Independence Day" we all got to see what was inside. Is that what was actually there though? I seriously doubt it, but you never know. In the movie "PAUL" their was mention of several different locations of ufo activity. Does anyone else think this is maybe a diversion? A tactic to get our minds away from the social norm of ignorance that plagues us all.
If these are or are not top secret spots, we may never know. I do know though, that I will certainly keep my eyes open, when another new movie comes out, or you know when I am standing outside.

It has been speculated for a while now, that the aliens are among us, or at least in space. While no one can confirm this, many people believe it.
Many people have started noticing more things around us, unusual phenomena everywhere. Our latest suspicions have led us to our moon.
Many investigators have spotted alien life leaving and going to the far side of the moon. The moon we haven't been back to since we went the first time. Maybe there is a reason we haven't went back.
Some of NASA's photos have started surfacing, just leading to more questions due to what appears to be structure on the moons surface. A quick search on Google for UFO moon bases and you will get dozens of pictures.
Some people say that these are actually pictures of place on earth, others are not convinced. If the moon base really exist, then our visitors may be watching us more closely then ever, with this new information circling to everyone.
While there are many videos and photos of alien ships and crafts, and all other forms of sightings, there is no actual proof of what has been going in space.
Here is a small exert from International Business Times:
"Google stores multiple resolution image tiles, and uses a different set of tiles depend on how much you are zoomed in. High resolution tiles have filters applied to them to make them appear sharper. These sharpening filters can create distortions where light and dark regions meet – and can create the appearance of lights or objects that can be interested as shapes that indicate an alien presence on the Moon."
Until we know for sure we can only speculate. Is our moon being used by someone else? Are we alone in the universe? These are question we may never know.
In a new episode of The Unexplained Files on the Science Channel, Chuck Zukowski will be investigating the mysterious happenings along a 3,000 mile stretch of highway. This stretch of highway runs along the 37th parallel, a parallel that crosses Europe, the Mediterranean Sea, Africa, Asia, the Pacific Ocean, North America, and the Atlantic Ocean.
There have been many reported sightings, including many UFO reports along this highway. The infamous area 51, along with multiple other military bases runs along this parallel. Chuck, who is a UFO and cow mutilation investigator, will throw everything he's got at this one to try to get some answers.
There are many theories about the 37th parallel, but none claim solid proof of paranormal activity. To see one theory please click here. That should be a good read to get you in the mood to watch this.
The Unexplained Files airs Tuesdays at 10 PM EST/PST on Science Channel.

I try to research as much about the paranormal as I can. I find this world beyond ours to be fascinating. My goal is to bring you all the information you need to find the answers for yourself.

3 Tips to Help You Choose the Right Lawn Mower
Lawn mowing is a substantial job when you have a lawn covered in grass. You need to regularly cut on the grass to keep your lawn sharp, clean and green.
Choosing the best lawn mower for you and your lawn will be among the most significant choices you'll ever make. Picking the wrong mower can definitely make your mowing job more difficult.
1. Evaluate your lawn care needs
Before deciding on an electric lawn mower, first, you have to know precisely what you would like. You'll need to understand more about the intricacies of your lawn and garden. Which type of grass do you have? How often do you need to mow? Do you need a sharp trim or a slightly overgrown but still clean-looking general appearance? These are merely some of the questions you are likely to have to reply.
Additionally, you have to take into account the dimensions of your lawn. If it's big and spacious, and you think it could take a good deal of effort to mow the entire area on foot, a walk-behind lawn mower is out of the question. Conversely, don't get a ride-on lawn mower in the event you merely have to keep a very small patch of grass.
Ride-on lawn mowers are somewhat laborious and slow, and they aren't easy to navigate around obstructions like trees, shrubs, flower beds and playground equipment. In addition, you'll have to assess for the incidence of slopes. Very few lawn mowers can operate on steep grades, and it might be damaging to use an electric lawn mower up and down slopes.
You have to ask yourself whether you have got the skills for maneuvering ride-on lawn mowers on demanding terrain. You and your ride-on mower may easily tip over in case you ride one up or down a slope. In case you've got a slopey, grand lawn, you might opt to acquire a ride-on lawn mower to the flat parts alongside a push-behind lawn mower for the slopes.
2. Push-behind lawn mowers
Walk-behind lawn mowers are powered by an engine and have to be pushed from behind to move. Its design makes it perfect for small to midsize lawns that are comparatively flat. There is little you could do to mess up a push-behind lawn mower, and they are typically trustworthy.
A close relative of this motor-powered lawn mower is your reel mower. Powered only by manual effort, it's silent, eco-friendly and relatively inexpensive to use and keep. But they have a propensity to reduce closer than their motor-powered cousins. I recommend against using a reel mower whenever you have got a midsize yard with rolling terrain.
3. Ride-on lawn mowers
For big expanses of grass, the ride-on lawn mower is your ideal choice. It appears exactly like a little tractor with a chair, a steering wheel and a dash of controllers. Besides the fundamental components, ride-on lawn mowers might be recognized by its own long deck, which shields the cutting blades beneath. If you discover a ride-on lawn mower having an elongated deck, then it comprises cutting blades that are long. As a principle: the bigger the yard, the more the deck needed.
Ride-on lawn mowers may be electric or petrol-powered, each with their own benefits and pitfalls. Electric lawn mowers are powered by a battery and also require charging until it may possibly be utilized. Petrol lawn mowers are powered by an engine and require gas and oil to perform the job.
Petrol lawn mowers normally require more upkeep as a result of the engine, but they also have the benefit of a far more working period and a wider reach. Electric lawn mowers, on the other hand, are more quiet, eco-friendly, and cheaper to maintain, but the working range is limited from the battery capacity.

Comments on The Business Generals Podcast?
Welcome to another super Episode of The Business Generals Podcast where I help you maximize your business dreams as an entrepreneur in your startup business. every single week I feature amazing guests and I ask in-depth questions about their entrepreneurial journey. Join the Business Generals family at businessgenerals.com for all the show notes, show highlight reels and amazing training. Whatever your situation today, know that you can get your hopes up that you are good enough to chase your dreams. A whole bunch of our guests have been inspired by people like Pat Flynn, Tim Ferriss, Michael Hyatt, Andrew Warner, John Lee Dumas, Lewis Howes, Robert Kiyosaki, Tony Robbins, Richard Branson, the list goes on and it's just amazing to see how our contribution gets amplified from one generation to another so I am excited for you to join me as I interview our next guest!
The intro was well produced, but there is a part of me that goes, "oh, ANOTHER entrepreneur interview show…" Your description has a bunch of keywords that somewhat turns me off (but I'm not your average listener, but it is kind of spammy as these people weren't' on your show). The interview starts slow, as I don't care about the guest or his family. I will care about the guest when he gives me some great tips, advice, insights that will help my business. I would put the report about his family at the end of the interview.
Not a bad show, not a great show. Nothing really stood out. It reminds me of one of the many CSI television shows. They are all more or less the same. If you like CSI, you'll like it. So if you like entrepreneurs being interviewed, you'll probably like this.

The Boundary Commission for England proposals, viewable from today, maybe not the hottest topic for the general public, What with more people interested in GBBO's likely move to Channel 4, the Archers court case result, the weather, and David Cameron's swift exit from Parliament.
However, the Boundary Commission for England's proposals will rumble on in political circles for months, and months to come.
Do the proposals affect Surrey. Not a great deal. See what's proposed at Initial proposals for new Parliamentary constituency boundaries in the South East region. In short, they're not proposing changes to the number of constituencies, only moving wards in some constituencies to balance the number of electorates per constituency. Here's what they say about Surrey Heath,
86: In addition to transferring the Byfleet ward, we propose other changes to the existing Woking constituency. We propose including the Bisley ward from the existing Surrey Heath constituency in our Woking constituency. This is the only change we proposed to the existing Surrey Heath constituency. In the eastern part of our Woking constituency, we propose that it include the Borough of Guildford Send ward from the existing Mole Valley constituency.
Here are the tables from the Appendix in the report of ward sizes – first table is Woking, and the second is Surrey Heath.

Having breakfast for dinner is starting to become a staple dish within my household. My boyfriend isn't a big breakfast guy, while I on the other hand am a breakfast girl. Granted, my breakfasts are usually not as lavish as they'd be if they were for dinner, but regardless I'm having something in the morning!
This entire meal was really brought on because I purchased the new Al Fresco Country Style Chicken Sausage Breakfast Patties. I'm a big fan of the Al Fresco sausage line and I was completely intrigued after finding out one sausage patty was only 2 points plus values.
I whipped up some scrambled egg substitute with some frozen pepper stripes in it, seasoned with pepper, salt and a handful of spices. I did sprinkle a tablespoon of shredded fat free mozzarella over my eggs for a little added pizzazz.
I like to purchase shredded potatoes in a bag or even diced potatoes in a bag because you can typically have 3 ounces for 2 points plus. Even if they are seasoned, I do re-season them with garlic, black pepper and a dash of salt.
As a staple to tie it all together, I garnished my plate with 2 slices of light Italian bread toasted and spritzed with spray butter.
For a side I had a few pieces of cantaloupe and 2 strawberries cut up.
The entire plate was 7 points plus.
What are some items you like to have for breakfast or even breakfast for dinner?

All terrain Tramper now available at Woolacombe
An all-terrain mobility scooter that can go 'off road' is opening up the coast and countryside around Woolacombe to people who have difficulty walking.
The all-terrain mobility scooter
We have teamed up with the Woolacombe & Mortehoe Tourist Information Centre and Countryside Mobility to make an all-terrain mobility scooter (or 'Tramper') available to hire Woolacombe.
The Tramper is now available to hire from the Woolacombe Tourist Information Centre, where people can currently enjoy a route through the sand dunes or use it to gain limited access to the beach. The hire facility becomes the latest of nearly 40 outdoor sites in the award-winning Countryside Mobility scheme which helps those with limited mobility to access the countryside and is operated by the charity, Living Options Devon.
Working to make our properties accessible to all
Jemma Lowin, National Trust Ranger said:
"The dunes are a fascinating riot of colour and wildlife throughout the year, so we hope tramper users will enjoy the chance to get out and explore with their families and loved ones. We've already seen the difference Trampers have made at other sites in North Devon and we're delighted to bring this opportunity to Woolacombe. We are always working to make our properties accessible to all, but the sand dunes, hills and beaches that make up North Devon have always been a challenge for anyone who has difficulty walking so we are hoping that this will really make a different to people's enjoyment of this stunning area. "
" Many people have found that Trampers have given them back their freedom, enabling them to enjoy time outdoors alone, with their partner or on a family outing. Those who discover Trampers love them and are always for looking for new places to explore."
How to try out a Tramper
The Trampers can go up and down slopes, over bumps and tree roots, through shallow puddles, mud and soft ground and are for use by anyone who struggles with walking whether through age, or a permanent or temporary condition. With a top speed of four miles an hour they can keep pace with the briskest walking companion.
On arrival at Woolacombe Tourist Information Centre those wishing to use the Tramper become members of Countryside Mobility, which costs £10.00 per year or £2.50 for 2 week 'Taster Membership'. Training is provided on how to use a Tramper lasting approximately 10 minutes. As a member they are then able use a Tramper at any of the 36 sites around the South West.
Booking is strongly recommended in advance via Woolacombe Tourist Information Centre. Call 01271 870553 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Five years ago the National Trust teamed up with Countryside Mobility to introduce two Tramper routes to Heddon Valley, Exmoor. This has made the stunning valley and carriageway towards Woody Bay much more accessible to those with limited mobility. There are now two Trampers available to hire from Heddon Valley, and their popularity continues to grow.
Details about Countryside Mobility and a list of the other Tramper locations can be found on the website www.countrysidemobility.org or by calling 01392 459222. You can also find out more by following them on Twitter @CMSouthWest or Facebook CountrysideMobility.

As reinsurers look to expand globally, how should their staff mix change?
The reinsurance industry has always been international by nature, but this has not always led to multicultural workforces. But now, as more reinsurers look to expand into new locations and lines, the need to hire and manage more diverse workforces is pressing for those looking for competitive advantages.
According to panellists at a session last year at the Swiss Re Centre for Global Dialogue, research shows that companies lacking in diversity of thought and opinion perform poorer than those that embrace it. The panel found that "institutional blindness" occurs when a majority of an organisation's decision makers have the same background. Swiss Re itself has employees of 85 different nationalities.
Swiss Re head of global diversity and inclusion Nia Joynson-Romanzina says it is important for organisations' workforces to reflect the societies where they operate and understand the nuances, etiquettes and norms of those cultures.
"A mono-cultural company with a lot of similar people wanting to expand into other countries will find it more difficult to adapt to the cultural differences around the world than those companies which embrace multi-culturalism," she says," For example, 'power distance' can be challenging and vary greatly across cultures. When it comes to hierarchy, in some cultures you will only speak to people on your level, while in other cultures the power distance will be virtually non-existent.
"It's also important to know how relationships are built in other countries. In some cultures it's usual to ask about someone's family before going into business – you might meet multiple times before even discussing business – but in other parts of the world you dive straight into it."
Guy Carpenter & Company chief operating officer of global strategic advisory Barbara Bufkin backs up Joynson-Romanzina's point of view. She says there are well-documented commercial and competitive advantages to having a workforce rich in diverse experience, perspectives and insights.
"We are, of course, intent on participating in and reaping the benefits of our increasingly globalised economies. The question that our industry leaders are exploring very carefully right now is what do we need to do differently?" she says.
"By identifying cultures within which we are working, we are much more likely to design products and services that respond to the needs of that environment."
Munich Re head of talent management Daniela Feuchtinger points out that the reinsurance business is highly international in nature, but that this has not always meant that it has been multicultural.
"From the very beginning 135 years ago, Munich Re has conducted reinsurance business both within Germany and abroad, so it has always been international, but over the course of time has also become increasingly multicultural," she explains. "The task of human resources is to advise the various business units and help them fulfil our clients' needs. As our clientele is widely diverse, it is helpful for our staff to be so, too. That is why Munich Re takes a strategic approach toward implementing its diversity policy within a framework set up in 2011."
One of Munich Re's core recruitment initiatives is to attract talented graduates from all around the world. Currently the biggest emerging market for Munich Re is China, and so it is one of the countries where Munich Re has held job fairs to attract the right talent. As China has a shortage of qualified actuaries, the reinsurer ran an internship competition in which 645 students took part from 100 universities in and around China.
As well as the obvious challenge of finding the right staff, reinsurers developing a multicultural workforce should be aware of other problems.
Bufkin points out that in some locations the workplace may be the first and the only place where different cultures within a community interact.
"Raising awareness of barriers to diverse participation is key to enabling collaboration," she says. "It will be obvious what's possible with an inclusive workforce and multicultural work environments."
Clearly, when you have a multicultural workforce it is important to be mindful and respectful of religious beliefs. Those interviewed told GR that one way of doing this is to mark religious days on a calendar and avoid scheduling meetings on those days.
Another strategy for success in emerging markets might be to resist importing foreign talent and establish local workforces instead.
"This should be an integral part of your strategic business planning and human capital strategy," says Joynson-Romanzina. "In some emerging markets, especially where certain industries are relatively new – such as (re)insurance, special attention should be paid to developing local talent, to ensure a pipeline of local leadership. You might do this through targeted development programmes and international assignments couple with planned re-entry."
It is clear that increased multiculturalism among (re)insurer workforces will need to increase, especially for those with ambitions to expand globally. There are many advantages for companies with staff from different cultures, religions and countries, but these must be balanced against the challenges of managing a diverse workforce.

This is my second entry to this challenge and what I have challenged are
- Wet-on-wet circles.
- To pipe circles differently from what I did for my first entry
- Transfer circle
My circle cookies are sometimes not right circle. I cut out circle from paper and put it on my cookie then trace the circle with a scribe tool. Then I piped.
I made wet-on-wet circles. All of the blue circles on my cookies are wet-on-wet. I used a projector (pico) for the guide.
After the base is completely dried, I piped circles with white icing.
Somehow my piping always change direction suddenly without any intention and my circles look like football. So this time, I made half circle then another circle.
Bottom part first (red arrow) then above part
white arrowed big circle is transferred circle.
Followings are the rest of my cookies for this entry.
Welcome to my under the sea world!

The rest is NOT immaterial, far from it and how it was done is certainly relevant. To suggest otherwise points to clear lack of comprehension for perspective in football. Examining a result in isolation and disregarding the context around it is not the smartest thing to do.
Really? Let's use Musings example above your post. He said Blackburn got booed off on Saturday having beaten Barnsley 3-2. Whether that's true or not I don't know. But this is what Tony Mowbray said afterwards: "It was all about getting three points. That's what we talked about, not about performance levels, but just trying to get three points. I think it was a really dangerous game for us".
So there you go. I'd rather believe someone of Tony Mowbray's experience in the game than a fan of a League Two Club with no experience in the professional game.
Didn't expect that of you Dan, to use cliched, managerial soundbites like 'it's 3 points and that's all that matters' in attempting to prove your wrong opinion right
Also, do I not have experience in the professional game?
Come on then Jose let's hear about your vast experience. Be careful not to sound like Sedgwick though

With four sons and three daughters, the Sutton family of South Dakota is used to being busy.
But this Saturday — when all four sons will graduate from three different institutions — will be a particularly full day for them.
Twins Jared and Jacob Sutton, 23, are graduating from college, while older sons Ryan, 25, and Anthony, 27, are graduating from law school. All their schools are in-state — but they're too far apart for parents Chuck and Val Sutton to attend every commencement, so the family plans to split up.

"Our graduations are spaced out enough that they can make Jacob's and Jared's, but for law school, we have a hooding ceremony on Friday, the night before, that they're going to come to," said Ryan, who along with Anthony is graduating from University of South Dakota law school.
Their parents will see Jared graduate from Dakota State University in Madison, South Dakota, at 10:30 a.m., and then will zip to Jacob's commencement at South Dakota State University in Brookings, nearly 40 miles away, according to The Argus Leader in Sioux Falls, which first reported the Suttons' story.
Val, the siblings' mother, said Saturday will be exciting, but said she wishes she could be at every commencement.
"You want to be there for each and every child. It's such a special day. It breaks my heart that I can't be there," she told NBC News.
In addition to their four sons, the Suttons have three daughters — Leandra and Lynsey, who are older than the brothers, and younger sister Kelsey, who is 15. One sister will go to Ryan and Anthony's commencement so they have someone to cheer them on, then the whole family will gather at home Saturday evening with friends and relatives to celebrate.
"It will be a really good time for all of us to get together and appreciate the moment," Ryan said.

All four brothers have plans for after graduation: Anthony and Ryan have judicial courtships, Jacob will go to grad school to study higher education, and Jared will join the family's auctioneering and real estate business in Sioux Falls, about 45 miles from their home in Flandreau.
The siblings have always been close, and "all of us are really proud of each other," Ryan said.
"Coming from a big family like this, I think Mom sort of made us, when we were kids, be close. We might not have always been excited about it, but I'm really glad she did," he said.
Even though the family won't be at each son's graduation together, they'll be supporting each other, Val said.
"It's kind of exciting that they can all share in their special day," she said.

Retrieving gallery information. This may take a few seconds.
It forms clumps similar in appearance to those of the yellow iris, but with bright orange flowers. There are several related species and hybrids.
Montbretia is established in the wild from garden throw-outs and spreading vegetatively, especially in the west, but rarely reproducing by seed.
Usually in woodland edges or on roadsides where garden refuse has been dumped.

|Location of first record:
|Date of first record:
It is a horticultural cross derived (in France) from species brought originally from South Africa.
Introduced to gardens in 1880 and first recorded in the wild in 1911.
Very commonly grown in gardens, where it tends to spread and form large clumps. Many gardeners dump the excess plants on roadsides and in woods.
It is mildly invasive in the west of GB, especially on coastal slopes and on hedgebanks in Cornwall. In Ireland it is much more widespread in similar habitats, and in New Zealand it is considered an 'environmental weed.'
Reproduction by seed is unusual, so most spread is by gardeners. Once established, clumps grow vegetatively, sometimes forming large colonies.
A monoecious plant, occasionally producing viable seed. More commonly reproducing by producing rhizomes that give rise to new corms a short distance form the parent plant.
Montbretia is highly resistant to pests and does not suffer serious herbivory.
All stages are resistant to pests and herbivory.
Mostly roadsides and woodland edges, as it can tolerate only partial shade. It is more abundant in western parts, as it is susceptible to severe frost, and it is typical of hedgebacks and coastal habitats, including the upper reaches of saltmarshes.
Widespread throughout GB, mainly in urban areas and close to the west coast.
Cornwall Wildlife Trust suggested that montbretia 'pushes out native flowers'.
There are no adverse impacts from Montbretia, but it is a popular feature of hedgebanks owing to its colourful flowers.

DOVER (Nov. 20, 2019) - An estimated 17,000 Delawareans age 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's disease, and that number is only expected to increase over the next several years. This represents 11% of the state's senior population. Though research is still evolving, growing evidence shows that people can reduce their risk of Alzheimer's by making key lifestyle changes, including participating in regular physical and mental activity and maintaining good heart health.
As part of National Alzheimer's Awareness Month, the Delaware Division of Public Health (DPH) urges Delawareans to make lifestyle adjustments to help reduce their risk factors for Alzheimer's and dementia.
"Alzheimer's is a devastating disease that has robbed too many Delawareans of their loved ones," said DPH Director Dr. Karyl Rattay. "Between 2015 and 2025, the number of persons age 65 and older with Alzheimer's disease in Delaware is expected to increase by over 35 percent to 23,000 people. As our senior population in Delaware continues to grow, it is imperative that we address this illness. We are collaboratively working with our sister agency, the Division of Services for Aging and Adults with Physical Disabilities to further educate, train and provide supports for those living with Alzheimer's or other age-related dementias."
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive disease involving parts of the brain that control thought, memory and language. It often begins with mild memory loss possibly leading to loss of the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to the environment, and can seriously affect a person's ability to carry out activities of daily living. Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia among older adults, according to the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC). An estimated 5.8 million Americans are living with the disease. It is the fifth-leading cause of death for adults age 65 years and older, and the sixth-leading cause of death for all adults. Risk factors include aging, diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension), smoking cigarettes and a family history of dementia.
Most people live an average of eight years after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or other age-related dementias. However, some individuals can live with a form of dementia for as many as 20 years, placing increasingly intensive demands on, and negatively affecting the health of, caregivers, which can negatively impact their income and financial security.
"We are at a very crucial time for our aging population, and as the number continues to rise, our aging population will soon outnumber all other age brackets. Our division is continuing to research best practices to learn how we can continue to evolve the way we provide optimum care for those living with Alzheimer's disease or other age-related dementias," said Dava Newnam, director of the Division of Services for Aging and Adults with Physical Disabilities (DSAAPD).
Two recent studies published earlier this year showed that actionable lifestyle changes could potentially counteract elevated risk for Alzheimer's disease. Researchers showed that participants with high genetic risk and poor health habits were about three times more likely to develop dementia versus those with low genetic risk and favorable health habits. Favorable health habits, according to the study, included healthy diet, adequate exercise, limiting alcohol and not smoking.
While there is no known cure to Alzheimer's or other age-related dementias, there are steps individuals can take to promote healthy aging and brain health:
In addition, DPH recommends all Delawareans follow the 5-2-1 Almost None concept: eating at least five servings of fruit or vegetables a day, watching no more than two hours of recreational screen time daily, getting one or more hours of physical activity each day, and drinking almost no sugar-sweetened drinks. For additional resources and tips to achieve a healthier, balanced life, visit https://www.healthydelaware.org.
DSAPPD looks at ways it can approach care holistically in addition to medicinal therapies. Earlier this year, the division, in partnership with the Alzheimer's Association of Delaware Valley, the University of Delaware and Delaware State University, launched the Delaware Center for Alzheimer's and Related Dementias (DECARD), www.decard.org. This website is a virtual hub of information to provide additional supports for individuals who are recently diagnosed, caregivers, or medical professionals. The site is expected to evolve as more is learned about Alzheimer's disease and other age-related dementias.
"The wellness of the caregiver or caregivers is just as important as the person diagnosed with Alzheimer's or other age-related dementias," said Newnam. "A Stanford University study found that 40% of caregivers who care for a person with Alzheimer's or other age-related dementias will pass away before the person diagnosed. In Delaware, we have Caregiver Resource Centers located all throughout the state. These sites can provide additional resources and supports, such as the Savvy Caregiver Program for the caregiver and the family unit. The work we do is not just for the person diagnosed, but also for the caregiver."
To find aging and disability services in Delaware, contact the Delaware Aging and Disability Resource Center at 1-800-223-9074 weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or visit http://delawareadrc.com/.

DPH, a division of DHSS, urges Delawareans to make healthier choices with the 5-2-1 Almost None campaign: eat 5 or more fruits and vegetables each day, have no more than 2 hours of recreational screen time each day (includes TV, computer, gaming), get 1 or more hours of physical activity each day, and drink almost no sugary beverages.
Delaware Health and Social Services is committed to improving the quality of the lives of Delaware's citizens by promoting health and well-being, fostering self-sufficiency, and protecting vulnerable populations.

Okay, to be perfectly honest, it is difficult for me to put those two words together . . . "winter" and "fun" since I'm really not a fan of snow. However; since I live in Michigan, on a typical winter we would have piles of snow outside . . . this year, not so much. But, if you have snow where you live check this idea I found on Pinterest for, yes, I'll say it, winter fun!
Just follow this link for all the details on building your own winter obstacle course, snowball roll-off and snowball toss, playing "find-the-flag" - I'm sure my grandsons would find this to be fun! And, I do have to admit, it does sound like fun to make a snowman without a head and then have your grandchildren stand behind it so their head becomes the snowman's "head" - this would make for some great photos for sure!
And . . . if you live someplace lovely and warm - yes, my dislike for snow peeking through! :-) . . . or if the snow isn't "showing up" for you like it typically does for us, try these ideas I found at the same site because "imagining a storm" and making "snowman puppets" does sound like fun! You could do a "twist" on the "headless snowman" idea above, by drawing a snowman without a head on paper and then having your grandchildren stand behind the snowman so their head is the head and take their photos!
So whether you live somewhere cold, lovely and warm or cold, but have no snow, try these ideas for some winter fun with your grandchildren!

"Creationist victory" in US Supreme Court
The US Supreme Court has narrowly decided, by a vote of five justices to four, that state funds can be used to pay for religious schools. The ruling is a victory for the religious right, which wants the biblical story of creation taught in schools instead of evolution.
At issue was a programme in Cleveland, Ohio that allows students from poor families to attend private schools instead of state-funded public schools, using state-funded tuition "vouchers" of up to $2500. Supporters said the scheme would give parents a choice of schools they could not otherwise afford, in a city where public schools, especially in deprived areas, are considered among the worst in the country.
But the US Constitution bars the US government from supporting religious institutions. Some 82 per cent of private schools in Cleveland are religious, the majority Catholic, the rest Islamic or Christian fundamentalist.
In 2000 the Ohio appeals court ruled that the voucher scheme was unconstitutional, as it provided public funding to religious organisations that "incorporate religious concepts… into all facets of their educational planning."
The Supreme Court has now overturned this decision, deciding that the Cleveland scheme merely permits needy families "to exercise genuine choice among options public and private, secular and religious."
Bush's support
Four of the nine justices argued that the vouchers violate the separation of church and state. But the Christian Coalition, a conservative political organisation, called the decision a "victory for school choice" and called on other states, and Congress, to permit vouchers.
President George Bush, who has long supported school vouchers, issued a statement calling it "a victory for parents and children throughout America".
But the decision will mean that even fewer US children will be taught evolution. Repeated attempts since the 1920s by Christian fundamentalists in the US to ban the teaching of evolution in public schools, or at least mandate teaching the biblical account of creation as well, have been defeated in court on the grounds that teaching religion in a state-funded school violates the separation of church and state.
Private schools are under no such restriction. So creationists have turned their efforts towards expanding private schooling. The voucher scheme is widely supported by Christian right wing organizations. One Cleveland voucher school states that "the one cardinal objective of education to which all others point is to develop devotion to God as our Creator".

We link the thermodynamics of colloidal suspensions to the statistics of regular and random packings. Random close packing has defied a rigorous definition yet, in three dimensions, there is near universal agreement on the volume fraction at which it occurs.We conjecture that the common value of фrcp ≈ 0.64 arises from a divergence in the rate at which accessible states disappear.We relate this rate to the equation of state for a hard-sphere fluid on a metastable, noncrystalline branch.

You've finally decided to design your own setting for a D&D campaign. You've read the overview I posted and think you can actually take on this monumental task. Now you're ready to tackle step one: making a map of your world.
Sprawling Continent or Localized Region?
Your first decision is to decide how big you want your setting to be. You can choose to map out a region of a continent to start with, adding more as your party grows in power and decides to explore the rest of the continent. Or you can design the entire continent and give your players an idea just how much there is to discover in your world. If you're really ambitious, you can design several continents and give them an entire planet to see!
Each choice has its advantages and disadvantages. A local region can be easily explored and it would allow your players to become intimately familiar with the cities, towns, and the citizens. However, as your party's power grows, so too will the need for them to have bigger and harder enemies. Being able to gradually ramp up the difficulty of a region might get tricky and cause your players to lose immersion.
Bigger continents gives you room to breathe and be creative about the stories you craft. As your party gets stronger, you can send them to increasingly more difficult regions on the continent, giving them new places to explore and discover. However, it's quite a bit of work on your end to map out and write lore for every place on the continent. And with a party's penchant for wandering anywhere they want, you better have something prepared for them to find no matter where they decide to go.
Matching the Lore to the Land
When I began designing my own homebrew world, I felt it was important to know what the world looked like before I started coming up with the lore of the world. By coming up with the general geography of the setting, you can start brainstorming ideas as to why the continent looks the way it does. Is that big crater in the middle the result of a meteor falling from space or a deity springing forth from the center of the planet? Why is that mountain range placed where it is? What is the reason why there is a tundra region? All of these answers can be seeds for lore.
This is also a good stage to decide if you want the continent divided into different political areas. Why did these particular citizens decide to claim this part of the continent as theirs? Who are the people that live there? Are they on good terms with the nations that border them or is there a constant war? These are even more seeds for your creative mind to use to grow lore and begin planning out the different points of conflict that could be plot points for your campaign.
Borders: Arbitrary or Natural?
If you want your continent divided into kingdoms, states, or other political divisions, how do you determine where one kingdom ends and another begins? You could use natural borders such as a river or a mountain range to determine a border. It makes for a very obvious divide and can be the site of conflict between the two kingdoms.
You could also draw arbitrary borders if there are no reasonable naturally occurring formations. Most map making tools give you a way to draw lines or use colors to differentiate between kingdoms. When deciding borders, keep in mind the natural resources that might fall into a certain nation's borders. Mountains usually mean ore, stone, and gems, so a country with mountains could be the one to control such industries. It's also a good idea to make sure each nation has access to a river or another waterway to enable trading to occur. That of course depends on the transport ideas you have for your world. But it's still a good idea to give each nation at least a piece of a river, lake, or ocean within its borders to control.
Map Making Tools
There are a variety of tools that are capable of producing at least a working map for your campaign. Good ol' Microsoft Paint is always there if you're skilled with it. But there are many other products you can find, both free and purchasable, that allow you to create amazing, authentic looking maps for your homebrew world.
I started out with Inkarnate. Inkarnate is a fairly easy to use tool that allows you to sculpt land masses, add natural phenomena, and place markers for cities, towns, and villages. The free version is pretty robust, but if you want access to more assets and the ability to create an HD map, the $5 a month is well worth the Pro version.
Here are some maps I created with Inkarnate.
A simple Google search for map making programs will give you a bevy of choices. Keep in mind what you really want from a map when making a choice. If you want authentic, highly detailed, beautifully rendered maps, you're going to have to pay for it. If you want something your group can use for simple reference, going with free tools is your best bet. Determine what features you want your map to have and choose the tool that best fits those desires.
Once you choose a tool, I recommend toying around with the features to get used to the interface and options. Once you're familiar with the tool, then start designing your world. That way you won't have dozens of false starts. Also, I recommend making several different copies of you map just in case your party founds a new town or causes a volcano to erupt that wipes out half the continent. That way you don't have to go back and completely redraw the entire map. D&D parties tend to do things like that.
You now have a map that will be the centerpiece and setting for your homebrew campaign! Now you need to come up with a creation story for your world. How did the world come to be? Who or what created it? This, of course, means that you now have to design deities!

Q&A with 'Making Money Matter' author G. Benjamin Bingham
During our 4-day "Innovation for Impact" event in Silicon Valley with BNP Paribas Wealth Management, participants will hear from leaders like G. Benjamin Bingham, author of "Making Money Matter: Impact Investing to Change the World."
Bingham, who is also the Founder & CEO of 3Sisters Sustainable Management, brings a broad set of experiences to his work in socially responsible investing (SRI), and I believe his insights may be a great influence for the next generation of impact investors and philanthropists.
I had a brief Q&A with him before the event, and I'm glad to share his reflections here.What inspired you to write the book?
I see money as the strongest leverage point for positive change. Change begins with individual conscience, asking "What's important?" And then acting decisively.How did you get involved in impact investing?
After Yale I farmed sustainably and joined a group to launch a nonprofit agricultural community for young people who wanted a college experience but did not have the intellectual capacity to get in. I raised money from foundations and philanthropists, and the initiative still thrives today 40 years later! In the 90s I raised capital for two tech companies with social missions and by 2000 became an advisor to the network of family and friends I had developed.What trend do you see developing for impact investing in the next 3 years?
I believe the U.N.'s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) for 2030 have provided a new focus for impact investing. Even pension funds are moving beyond Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) screens to demand that their managers have an awareness and strategy for achieving at least some of these impact goals. They are aim-high goals like ending poverty and hunger, and this is a great challenge: How can we as responsible investors effect change toward such lofty goals while providing the required risk/return numbers? There may be some great initiatives to fund.Would you suggest any tips for multigenerational impact?
Many families seem to like pet projects or an impact theme to focus on. This is good if there is a desire to develop hands-on expertise. I would recommend this for impact philanthropy and gifting, but for the other 95% of the assets it is important to establish long-term goals as a family, including a risk/return profile, legacy planning and tax planning. Then, within this framework, develop alternative strategies that complement your traditional investments; for example, short duration micro loans through intermediaries, diversified private loans, and portfolios of sustainable real assets and private equity to complement your liquid holdings.How can we measure impact?
Each of the 17 SDGs need different frameworks for deciding what is most important to measure. In the appendix of my book, "Making Money Matter," I discuss each industry and what investors might want to focus on. For example, we (at 3Sisters Sustainable Management) only invest in products and services that are inherently beneficial. This means that the growth of the company can in and of itself be a measure of impact.
