Many of us have had days when 5 o'clock rolls around and we have little to show for it. In his new book "18 Minutes: Find Your Focus, Master Distraction, and Get the Right Things Done," management consultant Peter Bregman teaches that it's not about tackling everything on our plate — it's about choosing what to put our energy into.
"We love to procrastinate, and distraction is the golden ring of procrastination because we think we are getting things done," he says. "We are answering 40 e-mails and we think we have been incredibly productive until we stop and say, 'Did I really need to answer all of those e-mails?' In a world that will take what it can from us we need to be more strategic than ever about what we want to give it."
His 18-minute plan can help you figure out how to best manage your workday. Allow him to explain.
Take five minutes in the morning: "The five minutes in the morning is to get centered and ask yourself, 'What is it that I most want to accomplish today?' I transfer those things onto my calendar.
There is a tremendous amount of evidence that points to the fact that if you decide when and where you are going to do something, you'll do it. If you just say, 'I am going to do it sometime today,' you won't end up doing it. So there I am really deciding what I want to get done and where I am going to do it."
Take one minute every hour: "Every hour I stop for one minute and ask myself two questions: 'Am I spending my time in the right way right now?' And: 'Am I being who I most want to be right now?' Those two questions end up being this fantastic productive interruption. Those questions will bring me back to 'What is that I am trying to accomplish for the day?'"
Take five minutes at the end of the day: "At the end of the day I spend five minutes and ask myself, 'What I did I learn from today? What worked, what didn't work?' Then also, who I want to ask a question to, who I want to update, who I want to thank for something they did to me. I think of these as my learning minutes and my gratitude minutes."

I have never considered myself to be overly lucky. Every day, I enter the Cool Mom Picks giveaway, and I never expect to win. So, when the Cool Moms featured this bag on their blog, I went to the Rowdy website and checked it out. I thought it was the most fabulous diaper bag I'd ever seen. So cool! I was so enamored that I bought one. And then I won one. Now I don't know what to do. Should I keep them both or return the one I bought or something else?
Update: I had all but decided to return the one I bought. But then it arrived and I opened it and I haven't gotten the one I won yet, so I guess I'm going to have to keep them both. I do love the bag, even though the attached purse is waaay too small to be realistic.

Over more than ten years as a group leader and mentor to multiple students and postdocs, and more than 20 years as a scientist who publishes research papers regularly, I came to realize that writing is one of he major problemas that aspiring scientists have. Writing research papers, thesis, progress reports for funding agencies or a funding request is something of a nightmare for many people. I have witnessed people spending weeks and months to produce only random text without getting anywhere near a finished product, be it a big thesis or a short research paper.
I observed that these people treat such writing as if it was a creative exercise, where form is paramount, the sheer scale of the undertaking is paralysing and the white page becomes a scary bogeyman. While style is certainly important, I cannot stress strongly enough that writing thesis, papers, reports, etc. is technical writing. Content is the primary focus, it needs to be clear from the beginning, and there are rules that simplify the writing process tremendously. I write this in order to share an approach to writing that has proved very useful to me and a score of people around me, in the hope to make other's writing life easier.
First and most important, you need to know what is the main message – there needs to be point to the writing. If you are going to write a project proposal you need to understand what you actually wish to do and why; a research paper describes some sort of discovery, be it a major finding or the observation that nothing happens under the observation conditions; a thesis is… well, a thesis, there is point that is made by the whole document; a report, e.g. 2nd year grant report, needs to present what was done in the context of the proposed work and what remains to be achieved. Sounds trivial? It should… if only! I would suggest that if you can state your point in a single, active sentence, you are ready to go, and probably have the embryo of a title. For the Romance-language natives, a sentence should not occupy half a page…. Read The Elements of Style, by William Strunk Jr. And E.B White – it does help!
When you already know what you actually want to say, then you need to plan the structure of the document. Yes, "Plan!". This means that you need to outline the flow of ideas within the general structure of the document. I normally outline first general ideias, and then expand this to the specific paragraphs I wish to write, outlining the contents of each paragraph. The paragraph should be the basic unit of your writing. For example, in the introduction of a research paper or a grant proposal, I may have something like:
1) outline the major discoveries associated with molecule x – mention X, Y, Z
2) discuss how this discovery impacted on healthcare -focus on the positives – if possible mention some claims by politicians or press articles, and some public health statistics
3) discuss the results of 1999 paper by Z and how it raises an apparent contradiction with previous results of X and Y
4) discuss the importance of this contradiction and its impact on medical care — focus on the negatives – mention numbers for mortality and cost, try to get numbers for Europe, as well as USA.
I suggest the reading of the SnowFlake method by physicist and novelist Randy Ingermanson, who describes a writing approach well suited to technical writing, even though it was conceived to make creative writing more effective. For those interested in time management and effectiveness, you might have noticed that we are following the GTD (Getting Things Done) approach by David Allen.
At this point, you will have have produced a list of well-defined tasks that can be achieve in a relatively short time (each paragraph), so you have reduced the task of writing an impossibly big and scary document – paper, thesis, report – to a series of small, manageable, writing tasks. These are not scary anymore, are now amenable to planning, i.e. you can now plan like this:
– paragraph 1 (research) – 3 hours, monday
– paragraph 1 – 1 hours, monday
– paragraph 2 – 1 hour – tuesday
– Paragraph 3 – 1,5 hours, tuesday
– Figure 1 – 2 hours (data in folder /Data/Z/data37.txt), tuesday
With plan in hand we can now start writing paragraph after paragraph, ideally keeping to the time we planned for each one. I find it useful not to spend any time on style at this point – I just write each paragraph as a self contained unit, in clear English, without worrying about the whole document. Also note that the order in which you write the paragraphs does not have the go from beginning to end – they are self contained! If you feel lazy or stuck, move to another paragraph that you enjoy or find easier.
Completion of the all the paragraphs results in a first draft of a thesis, paper, report, etc. This is by no means a finished product, but it is no longer a blank page. It is now time to turn a collection of paragraphs into a coherent document. Now and only now, is the time to concentrate on style, to make sure that the prose flows, that the grammar is correct, that the text as a whole is clear, etc. Now, not before. At this point you may realise that the flow of ideas that was so clear in your mind at the planning stage, does not make much sense anymore – a different flow would be more suited to make the point you wish to make. In my own experience, at this time re-arranging the order of the paragraphs and making some minor corrections on text is sufficient, but sometimes several new paragraphs are required. The important point, again, is that you should not start the re-writing without outlining it beforehand, just like I described above.
Will this approach always work? Should you alway pursue it? I don't always use it, or to be more clear, I don't use it at every stage of my writing routine. Sometimes I need to rehearse arguments, I need to play with potential flows of ideas, and I just write away to see if the text works – I am exploring – there are always multiple ways to tell the same story. But at some point I come to a clear idea about what is the message, and how I wish to convey it. At this point, I will always revert to this approach. In my personal experience, both in writing and mentoring, it is well suited to bringing any document from zero to the first complete draft. For students stuck in writing their PhD and MsC thesis, for example, I have seen this approach work wonders. It is by no means a guarantee that the manuscript will make any sense or that it is easy to read and understand – that, I am afraid, still requires that you know what is the message, and that the flow of ideas that you outlined actually conveys that message. It is also no substitute for hard work on style, for asking multiple people to read it and taking their comments onboard, etc.
Should anyone else be involved in your writing process? I am now straying into the role of the mentor and/or coach and/or writing group. One of the advantages of the approach proposed here is that it can be though as a project plan with deliverables (e.g. paragraphs, figures, tables) and milestones (e.g. sections, chapters). It also make it easier to write collaboratively if that is the case, as specific paragraphs can now be assigned to different people. You can make a plan to write nparagraphs daily, assigning specific time and deadline for each one, according to its specific nature. The role of the mentor here, besides contributing either content or revision, can be also as a coach, to whom you report the progression of the writing. I have done this for my own students, but also for students from other research groups and institutions who were stuck inter thesis writing process. Having some external figure to whom you report your plan and discuss why you think that it is a feasible writing plan, and then having to report of the progression of the plan, seems to make a huge difference to some people. It can be your colleague, your scientific supervisor, your grandmother, a writing group, or a someone you hire, a professional coach. Whoever this person is, you must honor your commitments – if you say you are going to write 3 paragraphs by tomorrow, don't even think of having a life before those three paragraphs are written. In my experience, it is simpler if if is the writer defining the writing goals than if they are imposed by any external figure. It is necessary to periodically revise the plan, so that it reflects the writing speed of the person. Beware that while on day one ambition is high and paragraphs are planned to be written in few minutes each, after the euphoria dissipates, reduced ambition usually follows, with a revised plan aiming for whole days for each paragraph -this is where the external figure of mentor/coach/group of friends comes in hand, to make sure that ambition is kept high, even if more realistic.
Finally a note about software since nowadays most people will write using some sort of electronic device. Do you need any specific software to implement this approach? In short… NO. I confess to collecting and using multiple word processors on the Mac OSX, and use this approach independently of which one I am using for each document. Scrivener, developed by the folks at Literature and Latte for creative writing, makes it easy to implement this approach for any type of writing, but I am only highlighting it because it is my favourite writing software!
I hope this is of help to students and post docs trying to write technical documents and struggling with the "blank page" nightmare. It has worked wonders for myself and many other around me.

Mary has an interview with Melissa Faye Greene which you can find here and part 2 about her book There is no Me Without You. I really need to read this book. It might rain this weekend, so maybe we'll take the kids to the library and look for it (I'm much more likely to finish it if I have a deadline).
I really like this quote (and not (just) because she uses parentheses in her writing):
The AIDS orphans are not grim waifs, devoid of desire and hope; they are darling loving playful CHILDREN who deserve to grow up, to live. We must intervene to help them. Not by adoption (which touches fewer than one percent of Africa's orphans), but by helping the children's parents to live, by allowing the world to generate fewer orphans.
Note: she's an adoptive mother, so it's not like she's saying that adoption is a bad thing.

When you're away, I fall asleep on your side of the bed. The faint scent you leave behind reminds me of how much I love you, and how you make me the happiest girl in the world. It's the only way my heart, my mind, and my soul can all find peace at the same time.
I can't wait until your arms are around me again. For now, I hold you in the special secret spot that only my dreams can explore. You taught me how to love. Now I can't live without you.

Why use multimedia in our organ concerts?
Author: David Jordan, media artist of Pro-Motion Music — creators and presenters of dramatic organ and multi-media concert experiences. Excerpted from the November 2018 Pro-Motion Music e-newsletter.
But Why? Any Advantages?
- Advantages of multimedia design compared to using a single medium might result from the ability to choose among media to present well-structured information (Larkin & Simon, 1987), using more than one representation to improve memory(Penney, 1989), encouraging active processing (Ainsworth, 1999), and presenting more information at once (Sweller, 1999).
- Barbe and Milone (1981) also wrote that adults are more likely to have mixed modality strengths than children. That's great for us. We can not only enjoy what we're experiencing but learning without having to work at it.
- According to Dunn and Dunn (1978), only 20-30% of school-age children appear to be auditory learners, 40% are visual learners, and 30-40% are tactile/kinesthetic or visual/tactile learners. Barbe and Milone (1981) stated that for grade school children the most frequent modality strengths are visual (30%) or mixed (30%), followed by auditory (25%), and then by kinesthetic (15%). Barbe and Milone (1981) stated that primary grade children learn better via auditory (verbal) means and are least well developed kinesthetically, however between kindergarten and sixth grade a modality shift occurs and vision becomes the dominant modality and kinesthesia overtakes audition (Barbe & Milone, 1981).

Even as climate change intensifies these challenging conditions, the Sahel need not become a desert. Unsustainable agricultural practices and overgrazing are among the main factors causing land degradation in the Sahel, which is threatening the lives and livelihoods of millions of people. Fortunately, organisations like CRESA in Niger have shown that with the right approach, desertification of the Sahel can be reversed.
Many people in the desertifying Sahel region have to choose: claim their land back from the desert, or leave their farms behind. In 2017, Both ENDS started a new project here, introducing a method for regreening the landscape: Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR). It has proven itself in Niger, where we worked on FMNR for 15 years. By 2017, 15.000 ha of dryland had been regreened.
In various countries in the Sahel, vast tracts of land have been restored by the local population by nurturing what spontaneously springs from the soil and protecting the sprouts from cattle and hazards.

iD#5 MANRESA. Call for ideas for a project of intervention in the public space.
IDENSITAT#5 Manresa opens an open call for projects to participate in the program of interventions in public space that will take place in April 2010 in differents places in the city of Manresa.
The open call is for artists residing in Central Catalonia who want to develop an intervention project in the public space of Manresa. The participants will have to make a proposal that incorporates Idensitat's Touring Device and propose one or several places in the city for its display. There are no prerequisites apart from these mentioned above, hence the projects can provide answers or raise questions, identify conflicts or propose strategies for dialogue, camouflage in the space or occupy it, involve people in the work process or search for spectators; at any rate, the strategy and formalization will have to deal with elements of latent tension in public space. The final location of the selected proposal in the public space will be subject to obtaining a municipal permit.
The selected project will be part of iD#5 Manresa, along with the following artists and collectives:
Domènec, Democracia, Basurama, Patrick Raddatz, Traces of Autism (Jozua Zaagman, Maartje Dros, Jacqueline Schoemaker) and Oriol Fontdevila/Laia Ramos.
Touring Device. At different moments in 2009 the Touring Device has been part of workshops and seminars as an itinerant exhibition that conveys specific activities generated by Idensitat. It has been present in Calaf (Hivernacle Cultural), Prat de Llobregat (Torre Muntadas) and Barcelona (La Capella). It pursues the idea of an exhibition that expands in the territory and serves as a transmitter - receiver of data. Its itinerant nature allows to affect specific aspects of the territory through mobility. In this case it is proposed as a display element that is part of the selected project. It may be modified and adapted to the needs of the project. The selected project will have 2.100 eur, of which € 600 as honoraries and the remainder for production (including taxes). The Touring Device has some additional elements such as projector, various tables, chairs, projection screens and vertical supports. The displacement of the device will be included in the project.
Elementos básicos y elementos adicionales:
1. Carro. medidas:1,49m. x 2,56m. x 0,40m. + elemento extensible y tapa superior de 0,50m x 2,56m. x 1,49m.
2. 4 Mesas pleglables
3. 10 Sillas plegables
4. Soporte vertical de 1,80m. x 2,90m.
5. 2 Proyectores
6. 1 pantalla de proyección
7. Soporte para documentación

Duplicate 3 Stars
I am at the point where I have 5 three stars built to 266 and two of these have 13 covers. I was wondering what other players do with your duplicates. Do you cash in the 3* covers, keeps the 266 3* and rebuild them (using needed ISO), or sell the 266 and rebuild them?
TPF Alexis Posts: 3,728 Chairperson of the BoardsIt depends. The big factor is usually whether you're more focused on PvE or PvP. For PvE, it's usually not a big deal to sell the maxed one as soon as you're ready to champ the dupe*. In PvP, the difference between having a maxed champ and a baby champ of the Featured character is huge. If PvP is your thing, you def want to hang on to the maxed ones until your dupes are up to probably somewhere in the 250s or so, maybe even until they're fully maxed themselves.*There are a few exceptions, most notably Strange and Thanos, and the Lightning Round characters if you still rely on them for extra resources. It's also worth checking the Sneak Peek thread and seeing if they're going to be Featured in one of the next couple of events.0
HoundofShadow Posts: 3,031 Chairperson of the BoardsFor me, It depends on two factors:
1) how fast I can gain HP
2) who needs iso-8 the most
I gain about 1000 HP every three days, so I could dupe additional 3* without having to sell the champed ones.
However, due to my lacking of iso-8 to champ duped 3*, I will most likely wait until they have reached 100 saved covers or I have excess iso-8 to champ them.0
DAZ0273 Posts: 4,238 Chairperson of the BoardsEvery answer here is wrong. The only answer is: Do you have enough HP for Anniversary? If yes - roster and do as you please. If no - don't spend any HP!!!!!
I play PVE. I have over 15,555 HP for the anniversary event. I was thinking more in terms of farming the resources on the 3 stars.0
sambrookjm Posts: 1,682 Chairperson of the BoardsIf you're at the point where HP and ISO aren't an issue for leveling up your other characters, then by all means keep your max champed ones while you're building up the others.
If you need the ISO to build up your other characters, but you've got plenty of HP, then roster them, but don't level them up just yet.
If you're short on ISO and HP, then just level up your higher tiered characters.0

Insights from Leaders
Josh McDowell
Cru / Josh McDowell Ministry
"When Christian college freshmen are alone, their faith rarely survives in today's college environment. The good news is that when they're connected in advance to campus ministries, churches, and Christian friends, they not only survive, but thrive and impact their classmates. Campus Ministry Link will help parents, churches, and ministries to turn the tide so this generation can now become the leaders of tomorrow."
Ronnie Floyd
Former President, Southern Baptist Convention
"One of the biggest challenges we have, is transitioning the faith toward the future. One of the things that breaks our heart is when we see them not carry their faith forward. I have come across a ministry that you need to part of: Campus Ministry Link. You can upload your students and expose them to collegiate ministries and churches who have all partnered together to carry the faith we have invested in them all these years to the future. This has the potential to change the world!" – VIDEO / SBC Article
Scott Martin
Senior National Dir., Assemblies of God, Chi Alpha
"We are all about discipleship and Campus Ministry Link. Cru, InterVarsity, Navigators, RUF, Chi Alpha, and Chi Alpha are all part of Campus Ministry Link. It's a beautiful collaboration and partnership to help us make sure that we can be an effective umbrella and covering for those Christian students who are coming on the campus."
Kevin Palau
President, Luis Palau Association & City Gospel Movements
The challenge we all face is raising up the younger generation of leaders. When they make that transition from high school to college often their faith begins to wane because they don't get connected to the right campus ministries or churches at the college campus. We've got to do a better job keeping our young future leaders of the church engaged in the community. It's wonderful to see the church working together in city after city with city gospel movements, but keeping our students engaged in their college years so they come out on-fire for the Lord is one of the most important things we can possibly do. Campus Ministry Link is designed to combat that very important problem and is the best tool I've seen that helps us do that.
Nick Hall
President and CEO, Mission America Coalition
"Whether you are a student heading off to college, a parent, or church leader, you need to know about Campus Ministry Link. While many stats talk about a generation walking away from faith once they step foot on a university campus, I believe that college can and should be some of the best days of your faith journey! For that to happen, making the right spiritual connections is crucial, and that's where Campus Ministry Link comes in. Hop on the site and learn about some exciting opportunities to connect with others and grow in your faith long before that first day on campus. Don't just go to college, be a change agent for Jesus!"
Pastor Craig Terndrup
Gateway Church Dallas
"I want to encourage you to use a tool that is so important in placing high school students when then graduate into a good university environment. Campus Ministry Link is providing the missing link in the hearts of so many parents and pastors. How do we take these precious high school kids and send them off to a campus environment and ensure that they will have a good spiritual experience and come home full of faith? This is the right tool for you!" – VIDEO
Mark Gauthier
Exec. Dir., Cru
"I want to encourage you as you think about your transition to a college campus to think about how you're going to develop spiritually. We want to encourage you to connect up with Campus Ministry Link. It's a resource to help you connect up with a vibrant Christian community. That will make all the difference in your life of what God has in store for you."
Jason Thomas
Exec. Vice President, InterVarsity
"Don't do the college experience alone. Plug into community. A great way to do that is to check out Campus Ministry Link for communities that already exist on your campus. Think about the university as a place God's calling you to serve and love the campus with a group of believers together. Campus Ministry Link is a great way to find out what God is doing there and inviting you into."
York Moore
National Evangelist, InterVarsity
"I think a part of how God is going to move in power in these coming days is through incoming freshmen, and connecting them with college ministries and churches before they even arrive on the college campus. Campus Ministry Link has come about through this collaborative vision of reaching college campuses for Christ. It's important to get the word out now! This is a part of how we're going to prepare for this mighty move of God." – VIDEO
Ken Larson
US Collegiate Dir., The Navigators
"I'd like to encourage you as a senior or as a parent to take the time to connect with Campus Ministry Link. The first 3 weeks of college are critical! I know you leave with great intentions but it's easy to get busy and caught up with classes and friends and roommates. This is an easy way to get linked up and connect with more than one ministry until you figure out who you really connect with."
Daryl Nuss
Exec. Dir. / CEO, National Network of Youth Ministries
"I enthusiastically endorse the Campus Ministry Link. With today's typical collegiate environment, it is critical that we help our precious Christian high school seniors transition well toward meaningful relationships, discipleship and outreach opportunities when they arrive on campus. Working together in this effort is a vital investment in the future of our future leaders, churches, and our society."
Jeremy Taylor
Former HS Dir., Black Rock Community Church
Black Rock Community Church used to experience the typical 70% loss as their students were graduating. "Last year I had all of my high school students participate…All were greatly challenged to be spiritually ready for college. Most were blown away by the idea that their first 72 hours at college were the most important in staying strong in their faith. As they have started college, they say that much of what they learned was true about their first days at college. Many of them were plugged into campus ministries quickly because of this. The result? All of our graduates continued in their faith!" – VIDEO

Campus Ministry Link seeks to answer the important question of how young adults entering college can continue their faith journeys with Christ. Working with high school students on a daily basis, I see the pressures and voices surrounding them as they go into the season of college life. This organization has an organized and collaborative approach that is a helpful tool for our future leaders to encourage them to keep following the voice of Christ.
Dr. Neal Capone
Head of School, Faith Heritage, Syracuse, NY
I am thankful for Campus Ministry Link and their commitment to equipping parents, students, churches, and schools with the information and tools needed to help young people transition from childhood to a life of Christian living and service. The journey from adolescence to young adulthood is a challenging one as children begin to own their own faith. CML helps by outfitting those on this journey to help them overcome the trappings of this world and cling to Jesus Christ.
Bill Keith
President, Business Men's Fellowship
"The Christian business community wants to see cultural change in our cities, and substantially increasing the number of world-changing Christian college grads through Campus Ministry Link is the best way I know to do that."
Guy Rodgers
President, Pinnacle Forum
"As a business leadership ministry president, central to what I do is to help Christian leaders discover and live out their unique God-callings within what are known as the Seven Mountains of Culture. Of great concern to me is the empirical data revealing how many Christian teens abandon church and any semblance of a walk with Christ within a few years of attending college. Campus Ministry Link is a historic coalition of college ministries, youth ministries, denominations and business groups focused on helping college-bound teens survive this transition to college and discover their God-callings for life and service after college. I believe this effort will greatly expand the number of Kingdom-minded college graduates and is essential to God's working at this time in our society".
Dave Parks
Upstate New York Director, Fellowship of Christian Athletes – Rochester, NY
As young adults leave their homes and step onto college campuses across the nation, their lives dramatically change. Typically, the parental check-ins and adult mentors that have been such an important part of their lives to this point, are no longer there to spur them on in their faith journey. Campus Ministry Link is so vital because it helps students to establish new relationships in these areas that will continue to foster their Christian growth.
Rick Snavely
CEO, Family Life Network Radio – Rochester, NY
Campus Ministry Link's concept in working with parents and new college students to connect these students to resources that will help them to continue with their faith in Christ on the college campus is an idea we can totally support and encourage others to do the same!
Rev. Dr Jack Connell
Vice President, Northeastern Seminary – Rochester, NY
"As a parent, pastor, and educator, I'm deeply concerned about the spiritual trajectory of today's youth – and deeply grateful for Campus Ministry Link's efforts to reverse the trend."
Rev George Grace
Senior Pastor, First Bible Baptist Church – Rochester, NY
It is becoming common knowledge that there is a large dropout rate among our Christian high school students after graduation. Campus Ministry Link is coming along side students, parents, and churches to help make this important transition into higher education and adult life, a huge success.
Rich Ryfun
Family Pastor, Believers Chapel, Former Chair, Syracuse Area Youth Workers – Syracuse, NY
"Thank God for Campus Ministry Link. It is one of the biggest tools we as youth ministers need to protect our years of investments into our students."
Lou Giordano
Senior Pastor, Life Church – Syracuse, NY
Parents have forgotten how difficult college life is for Christian students. Campus Ministry Link empowers students to not only keep their faith, but thrive in their spiritual life at college.
Dr. George Miller
Senior Pastor, North Syracuse Baptist Church – Syracuse, NY
As a past college president, I understand the importance of helping connect college students with churches and ministries that will help them succeed academically and spiritually. Campus Ministry Link will enable students to connect to a network that helps them live meaningful lives for God. Campus Renewal meets a vital need that has been lacking.
Pastor Jake Sorber
North Syracuse Baptist Church – Syracuse, NY
In my years as a Youth Pastor, I've been trying to prepare my graduating students for the challenges of college life. I've attempted to connect them with churches and campus ministries before they reach college. Campus Ministry Link is a tremendous resource for me to help my students navigate this critical time in life.
Nathan Gunn
Young Life Area Director
Campus Ministry Link is an idea we have prayed for during the last 10 years. It is now here, and will reassure parents that their high school seniors can be connected to a thriving university Christian community before going to college.
Wayne Taylor
General Manager, Mars Hill Network
Campus Ministry Link is no longer a casual option, but a necessity for every student heading into a secular and very often spiritually hostile environment. I highly recommend their ministry!" As a father who has experienced great concern about the "new world" that my children will face transitioning into college life, I am at greater ease knowing that when that day comes my children may be embraced by a known believing community connected through Campus Ministry Link.

Press release from Lori Bookstein Fine Art:
Hiroyuki Hamada: Paintings
September 10 – October 17, 2015
Lori Bookstein Fine Art is pleased to announce an exhibition of recent paintings by Hiroyuki Hamada. This is the artist's third solo-show with the gallery.
Rigorously painted on paper and then mounted on canvas and board, these paintings maintain the same level of craftsmanship that are characteristic of the artist's sculptural practice. Executed in a fully realized gray-scale (save one painting in which an icy blue predominates) the paintings utilize a similar mixture of acrylic, charcoal, enamel, graphite and oil that the artist uses to polychrome his sculpture.
The artist writes of his work:
It's been my habit to draw for many years. My sculptures often start from drawings and so do my prints. But it took me twenty years to go back to full-fledged paintings.
The process of making paintings can be faster (than, for example, the building process of a sculpture) more flexible, and it can allow spontaneous happenings and development of visual narratives, which can lead to a glimpse of depth and the richness of who we really are.
But I'm also rediscovering how draining and strenuous the process can be. It is the process of dropping all my daily concerns and opening all my antennas to feel beyond my ordinary spheres and gaze back into myself, all the while putting my faith in the mostly fruitless struggle of digging and building toward the rare confrontation with the moment of a resolution.
It is certainly one of the most meaningful activities for me but it is one of the most challenging acts as well.
May 29th, 2015
Hiroyuki Hamada was born in 1968 in Tokyo, Japan. He moved to the United States at the age of 18. Hamada studied at West Liberty State College, WV before receiving his MFA from the University of Maryland. Hamada has been included in numerous exhibitions throughout the United States including his previous exhibitions, Hiroyuki Hamada and Hiroyuki Hamada: Two Sculptures, at Lori Bookstein Fine Art. He was the recipient of the New York Foundation for the Arts Grant in 2009 and the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant in 1998. Most recently, Hamada's work was featured in Tristan Manco's Raw + Material = Art (Thames & Hudson). The artist lives and works in East Hampton, NY.
Hiroyuki Hamada: Paintings will be on view from September 10 – October 17, 2015. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, September 10th from 6-8 pm. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10:30 am to 6:00 pm.

Good Bye to Bill King
I've been feeling numb and broken over the passing of my friend Bill King.
The objective reality is that he was a rare human who defied the absurdity and cruelty of our time by relentlessly motivating us to see what we are through playfulness, mystery, wonder, warmth, fragility and strength in his work. He proved to us that it is indeed possible to live with dignity and humanity even in a time like ours. He was 90 years old. Knowing how he was, he probably worked till the very end. Ending of his life should be celebrated as a great achievement.
But I selfishly wish that he still calls me to say hi, that we still exchange studio visits and chat about how things are.
Not feeling like saying good bye to him at all.
Bill, where did you go?

I am in the process of recommending a BPMN solution. I analysed couple of products and JBPM 5.0 is one of that.
I want to know whether this version is maturare enough for an enterprise solution or should I use previous version.
It looks like there is no enterprise version for 5.0 and there is no proper documentation and resources.
Some observations :
- Editor is not that powerful as claimed. Business user alone cannot create a functioning workflows. Cannot assign or map UI (html) for a task and cannot create parameters in editor). Some small tools like bonita handles UI part efficiently, Why this is not? If I am wrong please correct me and provide some documentation links where it is possible)
- Simple work flow cannot be created without the help of eclipse or other tools.
Simple approval with few text fields cannot be implemented by using the webconsole, needs other external or eclipse tools
Eg : Get input from user (textbox) and set a status in a variable (parameter)a and pass it to another user for approval cannot be automated using webconsole. Correct me if I am wrong.
- Eventhough the installation is automated it does not install all compoenents properly. Simple applications, sample apps and console dashboards failes with gigantic error message which cannot be resolved by ourselves. Only forum replies resolves this.
- Many forums posts have some error messages which cannot be consistanlty reproduceble. Resolution are provided with multiple alternative solutions. This is fine for development environment and not in production environement.
If you claim this version is stable enough, can you provide a simple work flow which can be created ONLY by webconsole. Not the helloworld or hello process. Get couple of fields from user and pass it to next user and have a variable to state the Status. (Assuming the user is end user.)

THE SUMMER OF JORDI PEREZ (AND THE BEST BURGER IN LOS ANGELES) by AMY SPALDING.
'Something I guess what I hadn't forseen about falling in love with someone is how much your heart can ache to take away their pain.'
'When you're making your way through the world in a look you feel confident about, everything feels easier'.
Abby and her summer romance tale slayed my life in August. Which is why I'm sharing my thoughts about this highly recommended novel. I read each chapter like one relishing tiny bits of their favourite chocolate bar. Every night after a productive day I'd curl up under my cotton covers and read two to three reward chapters. Initially I was sceptical about this book. It was named after another female character the heroine was competing with but crushing on. But I now agree with Julie Murphy, this novel is truly a dreamy, queer, fat girl rom-com. I know how many times I have read fat or plus-size heroine chicklit or romance novels which were disappointing. But not with this novel. It's a witty, young adult, queer romance novel. Genres I love! I read this at a time when I'd just uplifted my body confidence which took a dip. Being a thick babe, I could relate with Abby's sentiments on full body pictures and her worries about online fat shaming. Amidst her fashion blogging, Abby landed her dream internship. Abbs, career babe, colorful fashionista!
It was comedic. Just when Abby's worries and observations would scurry around pages. Her goofy friends and plot ironies would lighten the mood. This was my favourite funny conversation;
'Are you crying?' Jax asked with a horrified edge to his voice. 'No!' I am lying. Lying and crying. He sort of scatters extra napkins near my face, which–despite my tears–makes me burst into laughter. 'Why are boys so scared of girl feelings? I ask. 'Abbs, I'm a feminist', he says. 'I'm equally scared of all feelings.
I know! Jax and Abby spent the summer eating burgers and reviewing them as part of data collection for his father's soon to be launched rating app, Best Blank. I mused about having a friend who would pick me up in a fancy car to eat free burgers for research. Then I remembered every other Friday evening my sis and I drive around Ojo to get great shawarma to eat. I am living the life!
Mailah who is Abby's best friend disappointingly spends most of summer with her boyfriend Trevor. Jordi Perez, the other intern and photographer is an adorable and talent young woman. All the swimming parties, restaurant hunting, parents avoiding, kissing, photography and fashion aside. I love this fat girl narrative. The writing is simple, clear, witty, reflective, engaging and flows beautifully. Set in Los Angeles, I loved how different characters like Abby's mother and her health eating business were some form of antagonist contradiction for Abby. Look Jordi, Jax, Abby and Mailah thought me a bunch of lessons about forgiveness and rebuilding trust with effective communication, trying out new things and finding work balance in a romantic relationships or friendship.

'And to all the girls who worry they take up too much space: you don't'.. these are the words Amy Spalding ends her acknowledgement with. Amy lives in Los Angeles and has a B.A in Advertising and Marketing Communications. This is her sixth book. Check out her other novels at her site. Sky Pony Press, New York published this novel in 2018.

Op-Ed: Exclusionary Zoning Worsens Education Gap
While zoning may no longer have overtly racist or classist intentions, it can still function that way. Pete Rodrigue makes the case that we see this very clearly in schools. Segregation of housing types perpetuates the segregation of people.
"It works like this: wealthy neighborhoods around the US ban rentals, multifamily housing, and smaller homes through regulations like zoning. This excludes lower-income families by outlawing housing they could afford."
Rodrigue goes on to say that "separate is not equal: because almost half of school funding derives from local sources, poor students are left with less funding relative to student need and less experienced teachers."
Using data from several studies, Rodrigue reports that metro areas with more exclusionary zoning have the widest test score gaps between poor and well-off students. Where zoning is less restrictive, gaps in test scores and housing costs can be drastically reduced. Strategies like housing mobility may help in the short term, but zoning rules eventually need to change.

It is hard to believe Seattle's Fleet Foxes (playing the Fillmore Auditorium tonight with Alela Diane) was ever known as Pineapple. Luckily, another local band was using the same moniker, forcing the baroque-folk sextet to come up with something else, and thus Fleet Foxes was born.
We recently spoke with Fleet Foxes' singer, guitarist and principle songwriter Robin Pecknold about the formation of the band's new record and its pending relationship with label Sup Pop. On tour with Pacific Northwestern transplant and fellow stylistic throwback Adela Diane (whom we also chatted with briefly), Fleet Foxes will most certainly deliver a show filled with a grandiose intertwining of beautiful harmonies and plenty of stringed instruments. This concert is 16+, and tickets are $32-35. Doors open at 7 p.m., and performances begin at 8 p.m.

What is the Ketogenic Diet?
The Ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carb approach to weight loss that trains the body to produce energy by burning fat rather than relying on glucose (sugar). The goal of the Ketogenic diet is to eliminate sugar intake and fuel your body with healthy fats to maintain "ketosis", a state in which your body's energy comes from burning fat.Hidden sugars are one of the biggest culprits of weight gain as they are found in unlikely sources such as low-fat packaged foods, starchy fruits, vegetables and grains. While it may seem contrary to conventional health wisdom, these seemingly healthy foods can be adding tons of sugar to your diet. This is due to Amylase, an enzyme found in the mouth and digestive system that converts carbohydrates and starches into sugar.
Additionally, these diets do not do enough to emphasize the difference between healthy and unhealthy protein sources. A great example of these unhealthy protein sources are bacon and conventionally raised beef and chicken which can be key sources of protein for people following the Atkins or Paleo diet plan.
While a high-fat diet may sound scary, it's important to recognize the difference between good fats and those which lead to weight gain, heart disease and other health issues. Fats containing sugar or trans fats cause oxidation in the blood which is what leads to higher risks of heart attacks and elevated cholesterol levels.
Benefits of the Ketogenic Diet
- Weight loss
- Decreased insulin levels
- Stored fat used as a primary fuel source
- Decreased inflammation
- Controlled appetite
- Restored cellular membrane health
- Re-sensitized cellular membrane receptors that lead to more efficient hormones and metabolism
How to Maintain Ketosis
The trick to reaching and maintaining a level of ketosis in the body is by eliminating sugar and anything that converts to sugar such as starches, excess protein and carbs from your diet and replacing them with good fats, moderate protein and minimal plant-based carbohydrates.
A recommended breakdown of macronutrients for Ketosis looks something like this:
So once you've swapped out your rice and pasta for cauliflower and zoodles, you may start to wonder how to monitor your ketosis. While there are physical indicators like weight loss, reduced appetite and improved energy, the most accurate way to measure ketosis is by monitoring blood ketone levels, which can be easily accomplished through the use of a ketone meter like the Abbott Precision XTRA. This tool measures both blood sugar and ketones which is far more accurate than competing products that measure ketones in urine.
When testing for ketosis, blood ketones should measure between .5 and 5.0 with the optimal range being between 1.5 and 3.0.
If you're looking for a quick solution, fasting can be a great way to break into ketosis. By completely removing all sources of energy, you force the body to shift from being a sugar burner to a fat burner.
Before starting a fast, as with any dietary change, it is recommended that you speak with your primary healthcare provider as fasting can be damaging or dangerous for people living with conditions such as diabetes or adrenal fatigue.
If you are considering a fast to jumpstart your Ketogenic diet, it is important to stay hydrated. Track your water intake and be sure to consume a minimum of 2 liters per day. Consuming sea salt may also help keep energy levels up by replenishing your electrolytes. Fasting for at least 4 days can result in ketosis. Be sure to measure your ketone levels and other vitals during your fast.
When reintroducing food after a period of fasting, it is important to start incrementally so as to not shock your digestive system. Small amounts of fat and small meals of fermented foods like kimchi, sauerkraut and miso can help ease you back into eating without knocking you out of ketosis.
Here is a general outline of carb consumption to follow when breaking a fast and entering ketosis:
- Week 1 - Eat less than 10 grams of carbs per day
- Week 2 - Eat less than 20 grams of carbs per day
- Week 3 - Eat less than 30 grams of carbs per day
- Week 4 - Eat less than 40 grams of carbs per day
- Week 5 - Eat less than 50 grams of carbs per day
You can also follow Dr. Pompa's 5-1-1 Rule:
- For 5 days of the week, eat a Ketogenic diet and check your blood ketones to make sure you're in ketosis.
- 1 day of the week is a fast day, to support detoxification and give your digestive system a rest. There are three potential options for fasting:
- Fast only on water for 24 hours
- Consume coconut oil or MCT oil throughout the day to maintain energy until you can achieve a true fast
- Limit intake to 500 daily calories during restricted hours (1:00 pm to 7:00 pm), skipping breakfast.)
- 1 day of the week is a healthy moderate carb-loading or moderate protein-loading day. The higher carb load day serves to refill your glycogen storage and reminds your body that it is not starving. The protein load day seems to work better for some, especially those with thyroid conditions.
On the days that you are not fasting, adding fats like coconut oil, grass-fed butter, ghee or X-Factor butter oil can help keep you in ketosis and promote healthy digestion and cell function. An additional 2 teaspoons of sea salt daily can keep your electrolytes balanced and prevent symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue and rapid heart beat.
Meal Planning
Once in ketosis, listen to your body and eat when you are hungry. Most people won't need breakfast once completely in ketosis, but if you still want something in the morning, I recommend organic coffee with 1 tablespoon coconut oil or 1 tablespoon of grass-fed butter and added stevia to taste.
Salads with olive oil and avocado are great for ketosis and rich in good fats. Small amount of lean grass-fed protein can be added.
For dinner, consider a fist sized amount of fatty, healthy protein like wild salmon or grass-fed beef with a hearty serving of non-starchy vegetables with olive oil or grass-fed butter and sea salt.
Remember to follow your macronutrient ratios for each meal. Meal planning tools such as MyFitnessPal can help you track your carb, protein and fat consumption throughout the day and keep you in ketosis. Be sure to weigh your food to ensure you are getting accurate measurements of your carbohydrate intake. You may be surprised to find out what an actual single serving of cheese is once you've measured it out.
The most common foods in the Ketogenic diet include: Grass-fed butter, grass-fed beef, wild salmon, coconut oil, coconut milk, coconut flakes, avocado, olive oil, nuts, seeds, turkey bacon, and non-starchy vegetables.
Here is a Ketogenic Diet Nutrition Plan to help you get started:

Jeremy Clarkson has told students not to worry if they flunk their A-levels – saying he didn't do brilliantly and can still afford to rent a lavish chateau in France.
The Grand Tour host, 59, shared a picture of the luxurious pad on Twitter, as thousands of youngsters nervously opened their results.
"A level results a bit rubbish? Don't worry," said the TV presenter.

What is forensic facial reconstruction?
Answer - Forensic facial reconstruction is the process of re-creating the face of an unidentified individual from their skeletal remains through an amalgamation of artistry, forensic science, anthropology, osteology and anatomy. It is easily the most subjective - as well as one of the most controversial - techniques in the field of forensic anthropology. Despite this controversy, facial reconstruction has proved successful frequently enough that research and methodological developments continue to be advanced.
In addition to remains involved in criminal investigations, facial reconstructions are created for remains believed to be of historical value and for remains of prehistoric hominids and humans.

On a cold November day as the snow fell from the sky and melted on the warm level ground, one man was eager for a change. Markus Rose, was his name, and he often watched this form of nature while working the steel mills every night to feed his family. In his free time he studied pimps. Listening to a sermon one Sunday morning, he watched as the reverend wowed the members with his words, he would soak in his every word and watch as they would pass the collection plate around the church. Markus Rose started to become obsessed with the ability of earning money. Living in the heart of capitalism, he determined that he could not have a soul to survive, so he started pimping his wife and daughter. He used all of the women in his network to rise to power in the streets. Markus even approached the pulpit of his church and became a reverend. No one could explain the mind of a man with no soul, the mind of a man who became obedient to the laws that governed ambition. Even in religion, it's hard to determine what's good and what's evil once someone trains their mind to believe that everything they do is right. The amazing part of this mindset is how it draws others into the circle.
"Feed off of the weak." This message was written in the mental makeup of Markus's brain. At any moment of feeling his heart showing any sign of sympathy he would intoxicate himself with the darkness of human emotion. He would feed his soul with the things that make a man heartless. In the depths of naked women and the evils of white dust, this is the life that gave him what he needed to crush his enemies. Feeding off of the evils of another man's mind. Studying the laws that governed the weak to maintain power and wealth. Knowledge of such self could only lead to the belief of no God. "There is no good on this planet." This is what he would tell his faithful servants; this is what he convinced himself to believe. The beauty of every woman revolved around him. The cunning gravity of those who craved his inner thoughts circulated and wanted to be like him. This desire took a firm hold of the innocent minds of good men and their daughters. Manipulating a woman to kill her first born was later followed by an army of children seeking his love. Markus Rose, was his name, and only the red of a rose could show him why the beauty of such a flower had to be protected by thorns. Inside of this man was something driven by rage. Found in the pit of his own madness he was snorting and sniffing with another man's wife. In the end, the rose in the cement would be stepped on by another man seeking justice. After shooting Markus square in the head and also his wife, a heartfelt man, would spend the rest of his life in jail not knowing that he was a savior of the weak and the new ruler of those trying to heal the hearts of the heartless.

iCore Networks' Cloud VoIP Business Phones Systems Help Companies Cut Cost and Boost Employee Efficiency
Due to the extreme advancement in telecommunications technology over the past decade, a lot of companies are being bombarded with new ideas and products for reliable and secure business phone systems that claim to be revolutionary. Many of these new technologies seem to grab a great deal of attention from tech sites, trade magazines and at industry conferences.
The technology darling of late is Cloud VoIP. Cloud VoIP is a necessary upgrade for many businesses that are still using an antiquated PBX landline phone system. The PBX system leaves businesses susceptible to high costs, lower call quality and frequent call drops. Not to mention a PBX system is a nightmare for any remote worker who will likely have to use their personal phone to conduct business as a PBX is not portable.
With this in mind, a number of companies are moving their business phone systems to the cloud and saving themselves tons of money and time in the process. However there are still many out there who are unaware of the benefits of Hosted VoIP which is why iCore Networks offers free cloud assessments for all. iCore Networks' Cloud VoIP solution is a go-to solution for many small to medium sized enterprises. The company utilizes Polycom and BroadWorks hardware and transmits both voice and video calls over its secure private network.
A Suite of Secure Cloud Solutions
One reason why iCore is one of the most sought after Cloud VoIP providers out there is because of its extensive suite of secure cloud services that can be used in conjunction with its business VoIP phones to increase efficiency across the board.
iCore's Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solution adds another layer to the company's secure VoIP cloud hosting service. In conjunction with the VoIP phones, businesses can empower their mobile workforces in particular by offering tools truly conducive to a mobile work environment. With iCore VDI and cloud Hosted VoIP remotes workers can reliably and securely access important data from anywhere. They can connect to the network if they have an online connection thus eliminating long distance communication systems that have lots of cybersecurity risks.
The VDI solution from iCore provides exceptional cybersecurity through authentication and encryption technologies that protect information in transit from unauthorized attacks and access. Their VDI solution helps businesses quickly add new systems without significantly expanding their existing infrastructure.
Both the VDI and Hosted VoIP solutions are housed on iCore's Network and protected by its Virtual Firewall. The firewall is a managed data security service that the company offers. There is no additional hardware or software to purchase. All hardware is maintained and managed by iCore's technicians at their premium secure data center, the same data center that is used by top Government Intelligence Agencies and Fortune 500 companies like Google.
This service offers all of the advantages of having a hardware appliance built for redundancy to ensure high availability and reliable disaster recovery. The design also includes multiple power sources with backup generator power. Service will not be interrupted because of equipment or power failure. Aside from that, all firewall equipment is integrated into iCore's 24 hour monitoring platform. If there is a cybersecurity threat, it can be resolved immediately.
Yet another security measure that iCore has implemented in their across all their cloud services is network monitoring. This is a comprehensive security system that gives companies broad visibility of any threats to their network. It helps them quickly diagnose, detect and resolve network outages and performance. It also offers out of the box network-centric views that are designed to deliver the important information that network engineers need.
In addition to Hosted Cloud VoIP and cloud services mentioned above, iCore also provides a secure platform for Infrastructure as a Service, Unified Communications, Voice as a Service, Microsoft Collaboration, Network Management, and Disaster Recovery.
