David Nash @ Art Basel Unlimited
19 June 2014
David Nash's Cork Spire 2012 (cork oak, 520 x 380 cm diameter) is at Art Unlimited Hall 1.0 Stand U34.
The cork oak for Cork Spire was sourced by David Nash during a trip to Portugal in 2010, staying in a cottage on a cork farm during the harvest period, where he gained insight into the entire process.
Harvesting cork is skilled work. The outer bark is prised off the tree's trunk and major branches using a careful technique that ensures the living layer of tissue beneath is not damaged. This stripping is done by hand, using specialised axes. Harvesting can only take place at specific points in time, when the bark comes away from the trunk easily. Once collection is complete the bark is piled into big stacks and left to season for at least six months, until its moisture levels have stabilised.
The Cork Spire was first constructed at Kew Gardens especially for the Nash Conservatory in 2012. The material illustrates David Nash's philosophy about our relationship with the natural world. He describes our environment as 'our outer skin'. 'We are in and of the environment and everything that we do impacts upon it, for better or for worse,'.

Last week was the week before pay day for me so there were slim pickin's in the pantry.
I always to try to keep my budget meals as healthy as possible and not resort to giant bowls of pasta so I had a look at what I had and thought about what I fancied eating.
The result was this really hearty and wholesome hot pot or stew that I packed out with chunky veggies and lentils along with chicken thighs and it tasted great.
I used the right combo of ingredients to keep me feeling full for hours but I still found myself going back for more as it was just so yum.
This is a real Sunday kind of dinner or cold day dinner as it's super comforting and full of flavour.
You can make up a bulk batch and freeze some off too.
The only thing I would say with this one is that it doesn't keep for too long so decide before you start cooking what you're going to do with the batch.
I would advise to keep it up to two days in the fridge or else freeze straight away after you've had you first serve.
Don't be put off by this however as it's highly unlikely the hot pot will last this long if you make it right, I even had it for breakfast the next morning!
400 grams boneless, skinless Chicken Thighs
300 grams Red Lentils, uncooked but rinsed
1 Brown Onion, roughly chopped
2 cloves Garlic, roughly chopped
1 Litre Vegetable or Chicken Stock or 50/50
3 Carrots, chopped
4 Celery Stalks, chopped
1 Tsp. Dried Ginger
1 Tbsp. Chili Flakes
1 Tbsp. Paprika
1 Tsp. Ground Coriander
Salt & Pepper to taste
(play around with your seasoning as much as you like, you don't have to stick the above measurements)
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1 handful of Fresh Coriander to serve
Heat the olive oil in a large pot and add the onions and garlic.
Once the onions and garlic are aromatic and starting to brown, add the chicken fillets to the pot and cook until seared.
Pour in the stock and add your carrots and celery.
Add your seasoning to taste and cook on low for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the rinsed red lentils and give the pot a good stir.
Leave the pot to bubble away on a low heat for another 10-15 minutes, doing taste tests along the way until your happy with the flavour.
(I wanted to go for a bit of an Asian flavour as it is Summer so see if you can get that too)
Once you're happy with the taste and your chicken is thoroughly cooked, serve your stew with some fresh coriander sprinkled on top.

Even though the Eternal Celestial Capital been itching for a fight before this, the series of unforeseen events that had just unfolded in the arena had made them incredibly nervous. At this very moment, Saint Holy King Mu, Saint Holy King Ke, and Holy King Bei were right outside the arena, having blended in with the crowd to observe the battle. They were trying to observe Pill King Zhen to see whether or not he was indeed Jiang Chen.
The current Pill King Zhen had displayed a completely different fighting style from what they'd heard about Jiang Chen in the rumors. Jiang Chen hadn't revealed his trump cards often in the past. Every time he was forced to reveal them, he would eliminate the enemy without leaving behind any trace of evidence. The only thing everyone knew that he possessed was the Bewitching Lotus of Ice and Fire, because it was simply too heaven defying and unique. Many had seen it with their own eyes, which was why every major sect had deeply associated the Bewitching Lotus of Ice and Fire with Jiang Chen. Other than that, they were finding it incredibly difficult to associate Jiang Chen with any other unique ability.
"Brother Mu. It seems that Pill King Zhen is a lot harder to deal with than we'd originally thought. I've become a little unsure if he really is Jiang Chen," Saint Holy King Ke had become slightly skeptical.
Saint Holy King Mu's expression darkened, "This brat might've hid it well, but my instincts tell me that there's definitely something more to him. We cannot use our common sense to make judgments when dealing with this kid. Even though this brat might have stronger battle techniques and martial methods than Jiang Chen, you must not forget that it has been almost two years since the destruction of Regal Pill Palace. Judging by how quickly that kid improves…"
Saint Holy King Ke didn't say anything else. Saint Holy King Mu had made a good point.
However, Holy King Bei, who was staring at the large brute in the arena, suddenly frowned, "My two honorable saint holy kings, are neither of you somewhat suspicious of the large brute's background?
"Suspicious? Why do you say so?"
"It's obvious that the large brute's martial methods and divine abilities are from a large sect. A disciple of his stature could never have come from a small clan or a small sect. Your subordinate is wondering if he might actually be a disciple from the Ninesuns Sky Sect?"
The two saint holy kings immediately scowled. The Ninesuns Sky Sect?
The presence of the Ninesuns Sky Sect was the last thing they wanted to hear. Even if one were to ignore the heated battles between the two that recently took place in the Myriad Domain, they'd already been at each other throats over Emperor Featherlight's inheritance for a thousand years by now. If the Ninesuns Sky Sect's disciple were to defeat Pill King Zhen today, they'd gain the upper hand. No matter how perfect or elaborate, the Eternal Celestial Capital's plans would become completely meaningless, even if Pill King Zhen truly was Jiang Chen. The Ninesuns Sky Sect was also been looking for Jiang Chen. They were planning to use Jiang Chen to unlock the secrets of Emperor Featherlight's inheritance.
"Ninesuns Sky Sect..." A cold glint appeared on Saint Holy King Mu's face as he wrapped himself in his own thoughts.
Saint Holy King Ke however, forced out a laugh instead, "Don't tell me we're supposed to pray for Jiang Chen? Pray that he'll win?"
They felt incredibly conflicted right now. On one hand, they were worried that the large brute was actually a genius from the Ninesuns Sky Sects, and that their age-old enemy would gain the upper hand after the battle. Yet somehow, they were also hoping that Pill King Zhen wouldn't be too strong. After all, the Eternal Celestial Capital had also planted a few of their own members to battle him later on. If Pill King Zhen were to defeat the large brute, it would mean that the arrangements they'd made earlier might not actually be sufficient. This was because none of the three geniuses that they'd sent out were capable of defeating the large brute in terms of absolute strength! Thus, anxiety began to envelop the two saint holy kings.
Back in the arena, the battle had reached its climax.
One side held the might and power of a great emperor, while the other held the defense of a great emperor. The two opposing sides were equally matched. It was hard to tell who would end up the victor.
One could tell that Xiao Paohui currently possessed a sharp increase in attack power. His plan was simple. He planned on crushing his opponent by simply using the might of a great emperor. He was used to defeating his opponents in close quarters. An emperor's might was incredibly frightening, even though it was actually strength that originated from a mere rune. Xiao Paohui was throwing out a flurry of attacks at a speed that had reached an entirely new level. Every single punch that he threw seemed to release a gust of wind that was as loud as the roar of a tiger. It was so mighty that the entire arena seemed to be shaking and so powerful that nobody could even approach beyond a few hundred meters from them.
"Pill King Zhen, I admit that you are worthy to be my opponent, but this will be as far as you go!" Xiao Paohui looked towards the skies and roared. Power continuously rushed around his body as his might soared. Behind him, faint ethereal silhouettes of gods began to form into being, making him look extremely celestial.
"This is the Judgement Fist of the Celestial Emperor! You should feel honored for making me take your life with this move!" Xiao Paohui spoke dominantly. In fact, he was exuding an aura of dominance from head to toe. It was as though he was a sovereign that had descended upon the world.
"Celestial Emperor? Judgement Fist?" Jiang Chen frowned as he spoke. All of a sudden, he began to laugh coldly, "The Celestial Emperor? Are you even worthy of using such a name?" He felt a strong sense of abhorrence and disgust when he heard those two words escape his opponent's mouth. As the Celestial Emperor's son, Jiang Chen had never once heard his father create a move called the Judgement Fist. This move was likely named by a pretentious and lowly cultivator from the lower regions. One could easily tell that this move would be grandiose only in name.
Xiao Paohui could never have guessed that the opponent standing in front of him was actually the reborn son of the celestial emperor! This was why he was able to act as though he was the personification of the celestial emperor himself, high and mighty as though he dictated all life. "Take this!" Xiao Paohui swung his arm to deliver a punch, tearing the void. The punch felt like one was being crushed by a mountain range from a distant, ancient era, or by a fallen star from the endless night sky. It seemed unstoppable. A giant fist, at least one hundred feet tall, struck down from the void towards Jiang Chen.
"Die!" Xiao Paohui kept swinging his arms, materializing countless numbers of fists that began to merge with the giant fist formation. It was as though thousands upon thousands of experts had fused their attacks together into one move.
Moments later, the void began to tremble, and the arena began to collapse into rubble. The four pillars that supported the arena had begun to collapse one by one. This arena had been originally designed for youths, which was why it couldn't withstand the might of an emperor realm attack and was thus currently disintegrating.
It was evident that this was an attack at a level so destructive that it would destroy everything under the void. However, Jiang Chen, who was standing in the middle of the arena, didn't seem to be overly concerned about the attack at all. It was as though the huge fist bearing down on him was not an attack worthy of any reaction. The Imperial Advent Defense Talisman was showing its full capability.
Even though his current battle capabilities wasn't high enough to be able to retaliate, the protection he received from the Imperial Advent Defense Talisman wasn't something the enemy could easily penetrate. After all, the enemy was only borrowing power from a rune to gain a temporary boost in might and attack. But he wasn't up to the standards of an emperor realm expert in other aspects, such as the knowledge and understanding of martial dao. Thus, the powerful-looking fist formation was frightening to others, but only frivolous and weak to Jiang Chen.
Once the Imperial Advent Defense Talisman was fully activated, Jiang Chen was enveloped by an energy barrier that contained the defense power of an emperor realm expert. The giant fist formation was only able to bear down thirty feet above his head, unable to penetrate any further.
One side wielded a giant silver fist while the other side wielded a shiny golden energy barrier. The giant fist struck down violently, causing a huge dent in the golden energy barrier, but it couldn't penetrate beyond the thirty-feet mark. Xiao Paohui was dumbstruck when he saw this. This is a great emperor attack! How can he possibly withstand it?
"A great emperor realm barrier?" Xiao Paohui immediately lost all composure. This was his most powerful trump card! He had no other trump cards to unleash after this strike!
"Impossible!" Xiao Paohui roared again and again. He began to unleash a flurry of fists at a faster rate. "Shatter! Shatter! Shatter!!"
His fists kept on materializing and merging with the ethereal giant fist formation. As expected, the fist began to sink a few more feet into the barrier after his incessant frenzy of punches. However, a frenzied attack like this was also going to consume a great deal of life energy. At the end of the day, Xiao Paohui was only a half-step emperor. The more he did this, the more of a toll it took on his body. If he maintained this rate of attack, he would fall into a cultivation deviation within an hour. There was even a possibility that he would suffer a backlash from the great emperor aura as well!
Jiang Chen felt immediate relief when he saw how his opponent was reacting. He knew that the opponent had lost his calm. This was a good opportunity to retaliate. The enemy might've gotten a temporary great emperor level boost to his attack and might, but his defense was definitely still the same. If he could launch a surprise attack on the enemy, dealing a fatal strike was definitely possible.
Jiang Chen's mind was set once he arrived at such a conclusion. With the protection of the Imperial Advent Defense Talisman, there was no need for Jiang Chen to worry about defense. Right now, all he needed was to find an opportunity to deal a fatal strike to the enemy. Numerous finishing moves appeared in Jiang Chen's mind in a split second.
In the end, he ultimately decided to use the Pentecolor Divine Swords given to him by Emperor Peafowl. These were divine swords that had been branded by the emperor himself. It was time to show the world the Pentecolor Divine Swords' edge! Jiang Chen once again called upon the power in his bloodline. The golden brilliance exuding from his body suddenly became blurry and faint. He had formed the Golden Cicada Image. Cicada's Disappearance!
His true self circled behind Xiao Paohui. The Pentecolor Divine Swords boasted of five techniques. The five techniques could turn into one, just as easily as one could turn into five. It could change between techniques freely. Jiang Chen slapped the sheath, causing five colored beams of light to break through the void. Encompassing the strength of the heavens and earth, he hewed the blade towards Xiao Paohui.
The strike overturned the wind and clouds, and moved the sky and earth. Five colored beams of light shone through the void, bringing along five iridescent clouds. Like trained horses, the five distinct lights flashed by, merging into one and converged upon their target.

A Love Story for the Ages
Billy and Marilyn Beeman to celebrate 60 years of marriage
By Karen Yekel
HOT SPRINGS – "All Because Two People Fell in Love" graces the entrance to the living room of Billy and Marilyn Beeman, who will be celebrating 60 years of marital accord on May 24.
On Sunday, May 24, 1959, Bill and Marilyn Beeman, then 25 and 17, respectively, were married at Natoma, Kan., and four days later found themselves on a working honeymoon with a harvest crew headed west.
Billy was a sophomore at Kansas State then, during the off-season, studying for a degree in technical agronomy. According to an article in the Great Bend Daily (Kansas) dated May 28, 1959, "Marilyn figures to polish up on the finer points of cooking and housekeeping, while helping with the cooking and serving of three strapping meals per day to the crew, whose days begin early and end near midnight."
Billy, being ever tactful, and with all the confidence a brand-new bridegroom can muster, remarked at the time, "Marilyn is a good cook. I'm not worried about her culinary skill."
These comments have become a source of much mirth in the Beeman household. Marilyn exclaimed, "No, I did not know how to cook! I helped mostly with caring for the children of the harvesters, and helping with chores as needed."
What's their secret to staying power? Billy said, "I believe the first thing for a man is to find a good Christian woman. After that don't expect that you're going to get your way all the time. And I think those two things are the main things for a successful marriage."
Billy said, "You've got to give a lot. We all have our thoughts and ways of doing things, which doesn't necessarily mean they're right. It just means that's the way you grew up. So, you have to learn to change, which means that you have to give up a lot."
Marilyn's response to her beliefs about their marital longevity begins with her deep faith. "I believe that first of all it's only the Lord who has brought us to this place of being married for 60 years. We have learned how to put Him first in our lives," she said.
Marilyn added, "It is just the way we have learned over the years to be more gentle, be more forgiving of each other. The Lord forgives us so much that if we listen to Him, we change so that we don't have to be right all the time, and we say we're sorry to each other and release our forgiveness to each other and to God."
Their marriage hasn't been all roses and sunshine. There have been many trials and tribulations, the greatest of which was the loss of their son, Dave, who perished at the age of 46 in the Alabaugh Fire in 2007. Dave had tried to save his dog and became trapped in their burning home, which is where firefighters found him, curled up next to the dog. Dave's wife, Jan, watched in horror from their car as their home burned and Dave did not come out. "That was God's work," said Marilyn about Jan getting out of the fire area.
"I'll never forget the date," said Marilyn, "seven-seven-seven." Both Billy and Marilyn are grateful Jan chose to save herself, for her two children, whom Dave loved as his own. "We were just so thankful that that our Lord brought Jan out of there because there's no way she could have gotten out of their drive on her own. So He took her through pastures and through walls of fire and under wire fences. The car would die and would start again several times," Marilyn said.
Billy suffered through his own grief, with the help of his faith. "Well one of my first thoughts was that Jesus took him (Dave) home because he was in a lot of pain and there was nothing they could do about it. It was mostly arthritis from the many injuries he incurred in his life, including driving off a cliff on a motorcycle and being trapped between his truck door and a tree," said Billy, adding that Dave was born severely club-footed with the soles of his feet fused together at birth.
"That, and many other situations have made us stronger as a unit," said Marilyn. The Beemans have two other sons and a daughter, "and tons of grandchildren and great-grandchildren." The feel they have been deeply blessed through their faith and that is what keeps them going in their 60-year marriage.
Billy, who still works at 85, said about the best way to handle differences, "You have to work it out. This is the way we're gonna do it together and we are gonna work it out," he said, noting that marriage is a channel that goes both ways. "I think you go both ways, because there are things you want to do and things your spouse wants to do, and you compromise."
Marilyn, now 77, said, "I think the biggest thing is we have been on the same page both morally and financially. So we do talk over the things that we want to buy or what we need to give and stuff like that, and I just think that's a big key to a more peaceful married life."
To help the Beemans commemorate 60 years of joyous marriage, please join them for a celebration scheduled for Saturday, May 25, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Hot Springs Wesleyan Church.

The statement continued: "When she took out her phone to call an Uber to get out of there, he threw her phone off a cliff to prevent her from leaving. She took out a second phone and he threw that off the cliff as well."

World Hunger
- 842 million people – or one in eight people in the world – do not have enough to eat. 2
- 98% of the world's undernourished people live in developing countries.2
- Where is hunger the worst?
- Asia: 552 million2
- Sub-Saharan Africa: 223 million2
- Latin America and the Caribbean: 47 million2
Aiming at the very heart of hunger, The Hunger Project is currently committed to work in Bangladesh, Benin, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, India, Ghana,Malawi, Mexico, Mozambique, Peru, Senegal and Uganda.
Women and Children
- 60 percent of the world's hungry are women.2
- 50 percent of pregnant women in developing countries lack proper maternal care, resulting in 240,000 maternal deaths annually from childbirth.3
- 1 out of 6 infants are born with a low birth weight in developing countries.4
- Poor nutrition causes nearly half (45%) of deaths in children under five – 3.1 million children each year. That is 8,500 children per day.6
- A third of all childhood death in sub-Saharan Africa is caused by hunger.5
- 66 million primary school-age children attend classes hungry across the developing world, with 23 million in Africa alone.6
- Every 10 seconds, a child dies from hunger-related diseases.5
The Hunger Project firmly believes that empowering women to be key change agents is an essential element to achieving the end of hunger and poverty. Wherever we work, our programs aim to support women and build their capacity.
HIV/AIDS and other Diseases
- 35 million people are living with HIV/AIDS.7
- 52 percent of people living with HIV/AIDS are women.7
- 88 percent of all children and 60 percent of all women living with HIV are in sub-Saharan Africa.7
- 6.9 million children died in 2011 each year – 19,000 a day- mostly from preventable health issues such as malaria, diarrhea and pneumonia.5
Launched in 2003, The Hunger Project's HIV/AIDS and Gender Inequality Campaign works at the grassroots level to provide education about preventative and treatment measures.
- 1.4 billion people in developing countries live on $1.25 a day or less.8
- Rural areas account for three out of every four people living on less than $1.25 a day.9
- 22,000 children die each day due to conditions of poverty.10
Rural Hunger Project partners have access to income-generating workshops, empowering their self-reliance. Our Microfinance Program in Africa provides access to credit, adequate training and instilling in our partners the importance of saving.
- 75 percent of the world's poorest people — 1.4 billion women, children, and men — live in rural areas and depend on agriculture and related activities for their livelihood.11
- 50 percent of hungry people are farming families.11
In each region in which we work, The Hunger Project provides tools and training to increase farming production at the local level. In Africa, our epicenter partners run community farms where they implement new techniques while producing food for the epicenter food bank.
- 1.7 billion people lack access to clean water.12
- 2.3 billion people suffer from water-borne diseases each year.12
- 12 percent of the world's population uses 85 percent of its water, and none of the 12 percent lives in developing countries.13
The Hunger Project works with communities to develop new water resources, ensure clean water and improved sanitation, and implement water conservation techniques

SHORTLY after the birth of her sixth child, Mathilde went with her baby into the fields to collect the harvest. She saw two men approaching, wearing what she says was the uniform of the FDLR, a Rwandan militia. Fleeing them she ran into another man, who beat her head with a metal bar. She fell to the ground with her baby and lay still. Perhaps thinking he had murdered her, the man went away. The other two came and raped her, then they left her for dead.
Mathilde's story is all too common. Rape in war is as old as war itself. After the sack of Rome 16 centuries ago Saint Augustine called rape in wartime an "ancient and customary evil". For soldiers, it has long been considered one of the spoils of war. Antony Beevor, a historian who has written about rape during the Soviet conquest of Germany in 1945, says that rape has occurred in war since ancient times, often perpetrated by indisciplined soldiers. But he argues that there are also examples in history of rape being used strategically, to humiliate and to terrorise, such as the Moroccan regulares in Spain's civil war.
As the reporting of rape has improved, the scale of the crime has become more horrifyingly apparent (see table). And with the Bosnian war of the 1990s came the widespread recognition that rape has been used systematically as a weapon of war and that it must be punished as an egregious crime. In 2008 the UN Security Council officially acknowledged that rape has been used as a tool of war. With these kinds of resolutions and global campaigns against rape in war, the world has become more sensitive. At least in theory, the Geneva Conventions, governing the treatment of civilians in war, are respected by politicians and generals in most decent states. Generals from rich countries know that their treatment of civilians in the theatre of war comes under ever closer scrutiny. The laws and customs of war are clear. But in many parts of the world, in the Hobbesian anarchy of irregular war, with ill-disciplined private armies or militias, these norms carry little weight.
Take Congo; it highlights both how horribly common rape is, and how hard it is to document and measure, let alone stop. The eastern part of the country has been a seething mess since the Rwandan genocide of 1994. In 2008 the International Rescue Committee (IRC), a humanitarian group, estimated that 5.4m people had died in "Africa's world war". Despite peace deals in 2003 and 2008, the tempest of violence has yet fully to subside. As Congo's army and myriad militias do battle, the civilians suffer most. Rape has become an ugly and defining feature of the conflict.
Plenty of figures on how many women have been raped are available but none is conclusive. In October Roger Meece, the head of the United Nations in Congo, told the UN Security Council that 15,000 women had been raped throughout the country in 2009 (men suffer too, but most victims are female). The UN Population Fund estimated 17,500 victims for the same period. The IRC says it treated 40,000 survivors in the eastern province of South Kivu alone between 2003 and 2008.
"The data only tell you so much," says Hillary Margolis, who runs the IRC's sexual-violence programme in North Kivu. These numbers are the bare minimum; the true figures may be much higher. Sofia Candeias, who co-ordinates the UN Development Programme's Access to Justice project in Congo, points out that more rapes are reported in places with health services. In the areas where fighting is fiercest, women may have to walk hundreds of miles to find anyone to tell that they have been attacked. Even if they can do so, it may be months or years after the assault. Many victims are killed by their assailants. Others die of injuries. Many do not report rape because of the stigma.
Congo's horrors are mind-boggling. A recent study by the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative and Oxfam examined rape survivors at the Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, a town in South Kivu province. Their ages ranged from three to 80. Some were single, some married, some widows. They came from all ethnicities. They were raped in homes, fields and forests. They were raped in front of husbands and children. Almost 60% were gang-raped. Sons were forced to rape mothers, and killed if they refused.
The attention paid to Congo reflects growing concern about rape in war. Historically the taboo surrounding rape has been so strong that few cases were reported; evidence of wartime rape before the 20th century is scarce. With better reporting, the world has woken up to the scale of the crime. The range of sexual violence in war has become apparent: the abduction of women as sex slaves, sexualised torture and mutilation, rape in public or private.
In some wars all parties engage in it. In others it is inflicted mainly by one side. Rape in wars in Africa has had a lot of attention in recent years, but it is not just an African problem. Conflicts with high levels of rape between 1980 and 2009 were most numerous in sub-Saharan Africa, according to Dara Kay Cohen of the University of Minnesota (see chart). But only a third of sub-Saharan Africa's 28 civil wars saw the worst levels of rape—compared with half of Eastern Europe's nine. And no part of the world has escaped the scourge.
The anarchy and impunity of war goes some way to explaining the violence. The conditions of war are often conducive to rape. Young, ill-trained men, fighting far from home, are freed from social and religious constraints. The costs of rape are lower, the potential rewards higher. And for ill-fed, underpaid combatants, rape can be a kind of payment.

The whole purpose of education is to educate. Therefore it is for educators to focus on EFFECTIVE methods of instruction. If teachers are not providing adequate instruction, then the students will not receive the guidance they need. Accurate and properly presented instruction is essential. This review will briefly touch on implementing instruction and models of instruction, and it will include my thoughts and reflection.
There is always a way. This holds true in all areas of life. Sometimes the way is hidden and unknown, but there is always a way. In order to find the way, one must open one's mind to all possibilities. When planning instruction, we need to be sure the information is accurate and we need to be sure that the manner in which our instruction is presented is one that is designed to maximize the students' ability to learn.
Conducting class takes great care and precision. It begins with a pure and loving heart that genuinely wants to help everyone. With this nature and intention, we need to be sure we are extra patient and extra focused and extra disciplined.
We need to do everything we can to help the students help themselves. In the grand scheme of things, it is up to every individual to accomplish for one's self. As educators, we need to help our students in every way we can to learn, grow, and evolve. It is not for educators to just regurgitate information to the students without feeling. Part of being human is being emotional and sensitive. Therefore, as educators, we need to understand the human psyche and acknowledge that people are steadily "awakening" to greater depths of consciousness. We need to be aware of this reality when teaching and adjust for it accordingly. A two year old baby is in a lesser developed state of consciousness than a forty year old adult whose state of consciousness (under healthy conditions) is much more developed. With that said, we can understand the gradual expansion of consciousness over time. With these factors and more, we need to present our instruction in a manner that will provide the best results and help the student in the best way possible. This should be the goal of every instructor of knowledge.
If one wishes to improve one's health, there are many things one can do. One may choose to eat more fruits and vegetables in order to improve health and nothing more. This WILL improve health (as long as the fruits and veggies are fresh and pure, ideally organic, and free of pesticides and other toxins). Another person may choose to do the same AND include drinking more water, taking vitamins, herbs, and "superfoods" such as, raw organic honey, goji berries, cocoa, cordyceps and more. This too will improve one's health, even more than only eating more fruits and veggies. THEN there's the person who chooses the same healthy diet with all superfoods AND this person chooses to do push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups and squats everyday along with weightlifting. This person, when exercising properly (in a healthy and balanced manner), will be EVEN MORE healthy than the first two people! The next person then decides to take it to the next level and do all the things the third person did and adds to it, Tai Chi, Yoga, Chi Gung, meditation, and running. With this example, we can see how some people put in greater effort than others. Successful educators work hard (with great effort to do the best) to teach every student with care and precision, which yields greater success.

The college football world took a much anticipated trip to the great state of Michigan last weekend. ESPN decided to broadcast SportsCenter live from Ann Arbor for Jim Harbaugh's home coaching debut at his alma mater. Since Harbaugh took the job this past winter, much of the attention in college football has been focused towards Michigan as they try to revitalize one of the most glorified programs in the history of college football. While most believe Harbaugh is the perfect coach to get the job done in Ann Arbor, Michigan no longer has the fortune of only having to look South to find their big competition. There is a potential bigger threat some 60 miles Northwest—yes the once thought "Little Brother" has grown up in East Lansing, and he goes by the name Sparty.
Following the SportsCenter broadcast last Saturday, ESPN's College Gameday kicked off its show live from East Lansing, as Michigan State vs Oregon was the featured game of the week. Part two in a scheduled home-and-home series between these two teams was again expected to have College Football Playoff implications and both teams are expected to compete for a championship in their respective conferences. Last year in Eugene, Michigan State surprised many by hanging with, and in fact leading, Oregon through three quarters of the game. That was before eventual Heisman trophy winner Marcus Mariota and the high powered Duck offense began to dominate a tired Michigan State defense on their way to a 19-point victory.
Oregon would go on to lose in the NCAA Championship game vs Ohio State, while Michigan State would end their season with a Cotton Bowl victory over Baylor in one of the greatest games of the 2014 season. Heading into the 2014 season, Spartans coach, Mark Dantonio, certainly had his eyes on the inaugural playoff, and while there was no doubt some disappointment when they didn't make it, it was far from a failed season. Especially when you consider that the only two losses the Spartans had were against the two teams competing for the National Championship.
The bar has been raised in East Lansing significantly. Under Dantonio, Michigan State has won eleven or more games in four of the past five years. They have dominated the in-state rivalry against Michigan, winning six of the last seven. They've also appeared in two conference championship games (winning one), and have turned what used to be known as a "basketball school" into a strong, well-rounded athletic program.
Heading into this season, Michigan State came in ranked 5th in the nation, and again have their eyes on the playoff and some higher expectations, but first focused on some familiar faces that stand in their way. Having both Oregon and Ohio State on the schedule again, Michigan State knew a win against at least one of those opponents would be necessary if their dreams would eventually come to fruition. On Saturday, the Spartans helped their playoff chances by beating the Ducks and bumping themselves up one spot, to #4 in the polls. I think if Michigan State were to have finished the season 11-1 last season, they would have made the College Football Playoff, and that if they finish with that record this year, they will make the playoff.
Outside of Ohio State, there doesn't seem to be any clear-cut favorite or obvious choices to win any of the Power 5 conferences like in past years. For that reason, I don't expect many teams to finish undefeated, if any. In recent years, Alabama, Florida State, and Oregon all seemed like shoe-ins for their conference. This year, all three may not even get to their conference championship games because there seems to be a lot more parity, and I think it's a good thing. I think Ohio State goes undefeated, and potentially a team like TCU or Baylor could as well, (they play each other at the end of November) but that could be it.
Ohio State is the only remaining ranked team the Spartans have to play as of right now. The Spartans do still have a couple potential trap games in Ann Arbor and at Nebraska but Michigan State should be undefeated (10-0) heading into Columbus on November 21st. Provided Michigan State can keep that game reasonably close, say within a couple of touchdowns, the "little brother" from East Lansing could be punching a ticket to the Playoff for the first time. With Oregon already out of the way, I think Michigan State needs to be playing in college football's Final Four on New Year's Day.
The past few years, Dantonio and company haven't gotten the attention and respect they probably deserve up in East Lansing. Often taking the backseat to Ohio State and hated rival Michigan, the Spartans always seem to fly a little bit under the radar but Dantonio pushes on, getting them closer to the pinnacle, slightly raising the bar each year while ensuring that the brand is strong. Conference champions, they've been there and done that. A Rose Bowl victory, been there too. New Year's Six? Yup, did that last year. There's one big step left, and the Spartans control their own destiny the rest of the way. It's a funny thing about expectations, when you have them, it means your team is pretty good, but when you exceed them, it means you've done something great. The College Football Playoff, it's all Michigan State has left, everything else Spartan fans have already seen.

The final book in the Miracle Girls series was definitely a hit with me. I think I connected with Riley in ways I didn't expect to. It made me remember my own senior year in high school. I was faced with many of the same issues. Everyone knew where they were going but me. I thought I did until my senior year and then I hit a wall of indecision. Nothing sounded right anymore.
Riley's situation certainly wasn't unique, many of us face the same things in our lives whether it was in high school or now. What makes her special is that she reminds us that despite our weaknesses and indecision, we still survive. Friends, family and most importantly, God; are the things that shape our lives. Riley and her friends brought up so many memories, both good and bad. It was a fun story with real heart and soul behind it.
I really don't have a bad thing to say. I did feel that at the end of the novel, there was one little section I would have chosen to say differently. I believe that God never changes. Despite how our world changes, the basics of life- sin, faith, hope, indecision and poor choices - the word of God still holds the answers we seek. Choosing a college or a career can still be addressed by the word of God. The answer to the question "Where should I go to college, or what should be my career choice?" can be found by asking, "How do I seek God's will and How do I learn to hear His answer?" That is where the answere comes from. Learn how to listen and the answers will come. That lesson is plain in all of God's word and those directions are applicable to all situations. The Bible is not outdated or inable to keep up with our modern lives.
Meanwhile, her autistic brother, Michael, is struggling to fit in at Marina Vista and stay on top of his classes. Riley tries to keep an eye out for him, but when Ms. Moore suggests pulling Michael out of school, Riley has to fight for her brother--and against her favorite teacher. And things take another turn when her ex-boyfriend, Tom, arrives, hoping to give their relationship one more try. On top of that, an ambitious new pastor makes her question everything she thought she knew about faith.

Of all the motives being depicted in this season of Game of Thrones, it seems that Margaery Tyrell's motives are the murkiest. Her storyline in Season 7 has been deeply entwined with the show's depiction of the rising influence of religion on the people of King's Landing. The High Sparrow's decrees shocked us last season when it resulted in Cersei's walk of shame in the streets. This season, we see him strong-arming Margaery — and by extension, her young husband Tommen — into accepting and aligning with the Faith. With the apparent union between church and state, many of the onlooking characters are wondering what the heck is actually happening. In the wake of religious fanaticism gripping the Crown, major plays like Jamie and Lady Olenna are openly voice their concerns are the severe repercussions if The High Sparrow is allowed to control the state.
While we all wonder what exactly could be the outcome if The High Sparrow does indeed live to see an eighth season, what's most pressing question is, "Why, Margaery? Why?" Honestly, I think I speak for all of us when I say her actions are befuddling. It's true that Margaery has been one of the most beguiling women on GoT. She's been married off, in succession, to three Baratheon kings. She's been seen publicly, playing Princess Diana among the poor. She's been traded off, from family to family, as simply a pawn to be counciled. She's beguiled her peers and viewers alike with her charm. Now, it seems we may not know Margaery at all with her ready submission to the Faith.
But is she willingly submitting? In a pivotal conversation with her grandmother, Margaery urges her to return to the family home, Highgarden. While Lady Olenna protests, Margaery seizes upon the moment to pass along a note, which is simply a drawing of a rose. It stands to reason the flower references both Highgarden as well as the currently-imprisoned Loras Tyrell, Knight of the Flowers. If so, Margaery is reassuring Lady Olenna that she is still loyal to House Tyrell and that she's playing a long con to do away with the High Sparrow and his insidious religion. At least, that's the common line of thought.
Given Margaery's historically close and devoted relationship to her brother, looking for any way to save him from any further harm is a natural motive. If that means playing by the rules of The High Sparrow, so be it. We should also remember the function of flowers not only as they relate symbolically but also as they relate directly to House Tyrell. Symbolically, roses, while beautiful to behold, have thorns. How many times have we seen depicted a character reach out to grab a rose, entrance by its beauty, only to recoil when pricked by a thorn? Is Margaery a rose looking to covertly bring down The High Sparrow and the Faith in this way?
As for House Tyrell, their sigil is a golden rose and their motto? "Growing Strong." The Tyrells have grown exponentially since they were introduced in Season 2. Margaery has managed to find herself, constantly, is a position of comfort and power. We've also seen that she's rather good at telling others —especially the men in her life—exactly what they want to hear, luring them into a sense of security. As such, she's grown strong in her position by playing the game. She could certainly grow stronger yet if she manages to continue the coup her grandmother had planned by letting others believe she is a converted woman.
Whatever her true motives, I contend that Margaery's storyline is one of the most enigmatic to watch unfold. I only hope she is legitimately planning to overthrow The High Sparrow's stronghold and she isn't actually a converted woman.

What is it about job titles?
They seem to immediately create an identity and status crisis for many people in the workplace. At iovation job titles have never stood in the way of employees expressing themselves or feeling valued—that's because we all have two titles. iovation staffers each have an "official" title (if you go for that kind of thing) and an alternate title that we choose ourselves. Inside the company those alternate titles provide a glimpse into someone's personality and they express how we actually relate to one another. Here are just a few to consider:
- Executive Napkin Artist
- Cheap Bastard
- The Knife
- The Automator
- Captain Crunch
- Deviser of Binary Perception
- The Voice of Reason
- Something to Do with Computers
- Chief Yak Barber
No one really remembers why or how iovation adopted the practice of alternate titles but they've been with the company since day one. Now it turns out, that when it comes to employee satisfaction and well-being, we were doing something right all along and there's scientific proof. According to a study just published in the American Academy of Management Journal, allowing employees to create their own job titles reduces stress, burnout and overall emotional exhaustion.
Dan Cable professor of organisational behaviour at London Business School and co-author of the report, noted in a recent Business News article that self-reflective job titles tend to reduce formality and hierarchy in a business, which makes people feel better and less threatened at work. He further notes that they think the main reason these self-chosen titles are important is that it gives people a chance to rethink what's important about their work and what they bring to it that is unique and valuable.
Here are a few more of our employee's alternative titles:
- The View-Master
- Cyber Ninja
- The Universal Adapter
- Digital Gumshoe
- Bit Meddler
- Better Mouse Trapper
- Word Herder
Others have also taken notice and adopted the practice. For example, when investigative crime reporter Chris Willis from KGW Newschannel 8 stops by to interview us for news stories, he addresses himself as "The Informer" and kindly greets "The Go Getter" (Amy) at the front desk, requesting to speak with "The Connector" (me).
At iovation, when you're a new hire, it's a great ice breaker because you can ask someone, "So what does a Rhythm & Grooves Sculptor actually do?" You get insight into their work and sometimes hear stories about how that alternate title came to be. Also, no one is stuck with their alternate title forever—they can change over time.
Do you have an alternate title? Tweet us at @iovation and tell us what yours is, or a great one you've seen.

Magical bubbles!!!
Bubble Gun (don't keep mix in here)
Bubble Mix holder (don't throw away)
Bubble Mix (buy or make and transfer to gun holder)
Lives in a small grey box of floating experiments.
This experiment is designed to be a quick but attention grabbing experiment for drawing in crowds. There's currently little science involved but it can be linked to other bubble experiments.
Firstly ask people what a bubble is? There are lots of things that might be said, however bubbles are a film of water with soap molecules on either side.
The hydrophilic head of soap faces into the water and hydrophobic towards air.
Whats inside a bubble? In this case air, but can we get other fillings? Co2 bubbles in drinks.
What shape is a bubble? Sphere, are they always? What if bubbles meet, you can see this and there's square faces. If they're differently sized then the small one bulges into the big one.
Why do bubbles pop? Other than being poked or hitting the floor, do they pop? Try keeping them up by fanning them. Bubbles can also pop through evaporation of the water film.
What colour are bubbles? Light reflects on the film, thickness of the water layer affects colour. You can also see reflections in them.

The Milan-San Remo 2020 is likely to take place on Saturday 8 August 2020. The race amounts to 291 kilometres and includes the renowned Cipressa-Poggio in the finale. Originally, the race was scheduled for Saturday 21 March. Milan-San Remo 2020 forms part of the men's UCI World Tour circuit, and starts in Milan before ending in San Remo, Northwest Italy. Known as 'The Spring Classic', it's now in its 111th year and is one of the famous five 'Monuments' alongside the Tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix, Liege-Bastogne-Liege and the Giro di Lombardia.
The current title holder is Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe (Team Deceuninck - Quick Step). He beat Oliver Naesen (Team AG2R La Mondiale) and Michał Kwiatkowski (Team INEOS) to take the win. Alaphilipe won the final sprint against a group of elite riders, including Peter Sagan (Team BORA - hansgrohe), Vincenzo Nibali (Team Bahrain Merida), the former World Champion Alejandro Valverde (Team Movistar) and Tom Dumoulin (Team Sunweb).
The Milan-San Remo is considered favourable for sprinters, considering its mainly flat course - unlike the other Italian Classic, the Giro di Lombardia. The total distance of the Milan-San Remo is around 300 km, making it a fairly long one-day race. However, the race ends with the famous Poggia which presents the perfect opportunity to attack to break away from the peloton and hold off the bunch sprint - exactly how Nibali did in 2018.
Vincenzo Nibali won with a stunning solo victory in 2018 and is considered the Italian favourite. However, Julian Alaphilippe's form has been astonishing and he will be a hard man to beat. Former World Champion Peter Sagan will be hoping to claim the title, while the likes of Wout Van Aert (Team Jumbo-Visma), who came 6th last year, Matteo Trentin (Team Mitchelton-Scott), who came 10th last year, and 2017 winner Kwiatkowski will hope for a strong performance.
Other challengers who will be looking for at least a podium place are Elia Viviani (Team Deceuninck - Quick Step), Caleb Ewan (Team Lotto Soudal), 2014 winner Alexander Kristoff (Team UAE-Team Emirates), Greg Van Avermaet (CCC Team), Fernando Gaviria (UAE-Team Emirates), and Arnaud Demare (Team Groupama - FDJ), who won in 2016.

It's a Wonderful World for the CHS Jazz Scene
Born in America, jazz is one of the country's most indigenous art forms. The genre is often viewed as a reflection of creativity and individualism and was once the world's most popular genre, selling millions of records annually. At CHS, there is a small-jazz ensemble created by students that have a passion for this genre. Despite jazz's once-unmatched popularity in America, the genre is continuing to fall out of favor with American listeners and has tied with classical music as the least-consumed music in the U.S. after children's music, according to Nielson's 2014 Year-End Report. These CHS students are striving to end this decline in popularity by forming their own combo and expressing their love for the music to hopefully bring jazz back to its prime.
The ensemble is composed of two groups, one big band and one jazz combo. A big band is typically comprised of 12 to 25 musicians, divided into sections of brass, rhythm, and woodwinds. A jazz combo consists of four to seven musicians that play the bass, drumset, and piano, with the rest of the instruments being an assortment of horns. The local jazz combo was created at the start of the 2015-2016 school year by CHS students in the Jazz Band fine arts elective on campus. It features sophomore Taylor McNamara on drums, senior Andres Beltran on piano, sophomore Christian Silides on trombone, sophomore Thomas Aguirre on tenor saxophone, and sophomore Kamran Curlin on electric and upright bass. These students decided to form the combo since they all love to play and listen to music and share the desire to spread their enthusiasm for jazz. Occassionaly, local residents
have hired them to perform jazz pieces at their events. The band has also performed numerous times in the Claremont Village.
All of the musicians share a passion for jazz and wish to share their interest with others by performing all around Claremont. The combo has played for parties and special occasions for Claremont residents and has also busked in the Village in front of the City of Commerce and 21 Choices for free and will continue to perform in those locations and more throughout the holiday season. Although the musicians appreciate being paid for their musical talents, their biggest motive for creating this group was to have fun and to practice their musical skills in front of an audience while sharing their love for jazz and music as a whole.
A few pieces that the group has performed is "It Don't Mean a Thing if You Don't Got That Swing," "Take the A-Train," and "Blue Bossa." The band is inspired by Mingus Ellington and John Coltrane who were both famous jazz musicians during the mid 1900s.
Senior Andres Beltran is planning to major in music and has been playing the piano for almost ten years. He joined the combo as soon as he heard that it was created by Kamran Curlin and Rick Melanson, the conductor of the CHS jazz band. Since joining the group, he has enjoyed playing the piano with his friends in the close-knit group.
"I can express my love for jazz with higher levels of freedom and creativity when I play in the combo," Beltran said.
The percussionist for the jazz combo is Taylor McNamara. He has been playing the drum set for 13 years and created the band with Kamran Curlin in the summer of 2015. With the help of Melanson, McNamara and the group have made this self-motivated dream to start a smaller combo become reality.
"I like being in a smaller, student-created band since we can play the music we want to play," McNamara said. "It's easier to sound better in a smaller group since it's more controllable and easier to play in. I really believe in the saying, 'Less is more' and think that it perfectly describes our jazz combo."
The jazz combo was only formed at the beginning of the school year, but the studentslook forward to continuing to perform together for years to come and hopefully spread appreciation for jazz music all around Claremont. The group's next performance will be at the village on Jan. 2, so be sure to support the CHS musicians and their extraordinary musical talents they will demonstrate during their live entertainment gig.

Westward Expansion
Jaelyn Manning
All throughout westward expansion, the government, and people of the society then, wanted what wasn't theirs. The Native Americans had what they wanted. They had made unfair agreements with the Native Americans, taking more than what they were giving out. When the Native Americans would refuse their biased offers, they'd turn to war to get what they wanted. When they did happen to give, they'd only give what was needed. They supplied the tribes with food and the supplies they needed, but constantly threatened to take that benefit away.
The government wanted the land that the Native Americans had. To get what they wanted, they'd end the Native American's way of life. The government split up the tribes and wanted to send the groups to reservations. At these reservations the Native Americans would have to learn a whole new lifestyle. These reservations were also said to be better for them. Along with being more civilized, everyone was equal. There was no more chiefs, each man was a leader of their own and was given their own part of land. Their religion and beliefs were stripped away from them too. The Native American's had to first take on a Christian name and get a proper education.
Throughout the government taking away the Native American's life ways, they were willing and would obey, just so no one would get hurt. They lived the way they had to, to protect themselves and others. They'd object anything they thought was injustice to them, most of the time it was the threat to take away their living supplies and land. On the other hand, the Government just wanted more land and the gold found in those lands. They were willing to get rid off and take away from the Native Americans, not caring about how it could hurt them.

Andrew Little is back to being Angry Andy, with a bit of dunderhead Andy thrown in.
The man clearly has no understanding of business when he utters inanities like this.
Mr Joyce conceded that a smaller convention centre would be less attractive to some groups and could result in missed business "at the margins".
Asked if he was hopeful SkyCity might soften any downsizing by spending more than the agreed $402 million, Mr Joyce said indications were that it wasn't off the table.
"They are already making comments in that regard, so, let's see."
But Labour leader Andrew Little said a government under his leadership would be tougher.
It would look at legislating to reduce the 28-year extension to the SkyCity licence, granted as part of gambling concessions given to SkyCity for building a $402 million centre.
"If they put up a dog, then they're not going to get away with it."
Why would SkyCity put up a dog, they aren't the Labour party they are a business, and a business that likes to make healthy profits.
While Labour can almost get away with putting up dog after dog for leader SkyCity needs to return an investment to its shareholders and so they will build the best thing they possibly can within the budget. Otherwise they risk people not coming or attending and their investment would be shot to hell.
This shows yet again that Andrew Little is out of his depth in a carpark puddle when it comes to business.
Hectoring and bullying businesses to meet some sort of amorphous design constraint set by Labour that the building isn't a "dog" is not the way serious politicians show they are fit to lead this country.
Andrew Little says a government he leads would be tougher…yeah, way to go with the messaging Andy…you've just told us all that you plan on being a command and control leader like the union boss you are…coupled with being strong and nasty and angry. Let's see how that plays out in the polls.
