1.3 History of Android Plug-in Programing
In July 27, 2012 , it was the first milestone in Android plug-in technology. Yimin Tu(mmin18 on Github), who worked for dianping.com , released the first Android plug-in open source project——AndroidDynamicLoader, and the App of dianping.com was based on this framework. It is a plug-in framework based on Fragment. Through the dynamic loading of the Fragments in the plug-in, the page switching was implemented in the APP, but there is only one Activity which as the container of Fragments. In the open source project, it is the first time for us to know how to use the addAssetPath method of AssetManager to handle the resources in the plug-in.
In 2013, 23Code appeared. 23Code provides a shell where plug-ins can be dynamically downloaded and run. We can write a variety of controls outside and run them in the framework. It is the Android plug-in framework. For about this project and related open source resources, I don't know very clear,if anyone knows the author, please contact with me.
On March 27, 2013, BoKui, a developer of Taobao client, provide a technical sharing about Taobao's Atlas plug-in framework in the Alibaba Technology Salon No.16, including several classes of Hook, incremental update, downgrade, and compatibility such as ActivityThread and so on. Such video shows the plug-in technology from macroscopic view, and not to say how to implement it, not to mentioned as open source projects. This thinking is very advanced in 2013, but at that time, I'm still a student for Android programing.
At 8:20 on March 30, 2014, it was the second milestone of Android plug-in technology. Mr. Ren Yugang published an Android plug-in project named dynamic-load-apk, which is not the same as many other plug-in projects. It does not modify with the internal methods of the Android system, but to solve the problem from the application layer of the App by creating a class named ProxyActivity to distribute and start the plug-in Activity. Because Ren Yugang invented a keyword called "that" in this framework, so I call it as "that" framework in this book. In fact, the author does not like the nickname, and named it as DL. When he develop this framework, there were so many difficulties, because there was no enough information on plug-in technology that could be referred to, especially before 2014.
"That" framework only have the implementation of the plug-in activity at beginning. With the contribution of Xiao Tian and Siyu Song, the implementation of Service was available later. In April 2015, "that" framework was stabilized. At that time, I was the leader of App Technology at Tuniu. When I ever saw this framework, decided to introduce it into the Tuniu App resolutely (actually there was no other choice at that time). The developers of the specific operation were Liangliang Wang and Zhengbin Wei. They took the framework and transplanted it into the Tuniu App. The framework has withstood the verification of a million-activiation app. It is the first market App for plug-in technology.
At the same time, Tao Zhang was also contribute to the implementation of plug-in technology. In May 2014, after reading all the source codes of DL, he released his first plug-in framework——CJFrameForAndroid. This design is similar to "that", except that he called ProxyActivity and ProxyService as hosting sites. In addition, the CJFrameForAndroid framework also presents the Activity's LaunchMode solution, which is a very important contribution to the plug-in framework and can be ported directly to "that" framework.
In November 2014, houkx released a plug-in project named android-pluginmgr on GitHub. This framework first proposed to register a StubActivity in the AndroidManifest file to deceive AMS, but actually opened ActivityA in the plug-in. But he did not use the technology to modify with Instrumentation and ActivityThread, but through the dexmaker.jar tool dynamically generated StubActivity, StubActivity class inherited from the plug-in ActivityA.
Today, it seems that the idea of such dynamically generated classes does not a good solution for plug-in framework, but it was not easy to acquire this point at that time. Everyone interprets their roles well in the stage of plug-in and plays a specific role at a particular time.
At the same time, hookx also found that the permissions requested in the plug-in framework can not take effect, so you must apply for all permissions in the host app in advance.
Android-pluginmgr has two branches, the author's idea of plug-in is located in the dev branch. Then, Lody, a high school student, took part in the open source project, and modified android-pluginmgr with Instrumentation thoughts, implemented in the master branch, but this story was happened in November 2015.
On December 8, 2014, there was a good news, Android Studio V1.0 was available. Android developers began to abandon Eclipse gradually, and try to use Android Studio. Android Studio is compiled and packaged with Gradle, which makes the design of the plug-in framework much simpler, eliminating the inconvenience of using Eclipse to run the Android SDK.
2015 was coming.
Lody, the high school student, he was still a sophomore at the moment. He started studying the Android system source codes from junior school. His first well-known open source project was TurboDex, which can quickly load dex with high speed. This is very useful in plug-in frameworks because it takes a long time to load all the plug-ins for the initialization.
At the end of March 2015, Lody released the plug-in project: Direct-Load-apk. This framework combines Yugang Ren's static proxy thoughts of "that" framework, Houkx's pluginmgr framework whose idea is deception AMS, and modified Instrumnetation. Unfortunately, Lody was a student at that time, and did not spend much time to talk about this framework, so that too many people did not know the existence of the framework.
The legend of Lody hasn't finished yet, he spend much time into the project of VirtualApp. It is an App just like virtual machine on the Android system, which is a deeper technical topic, and we'll talk it later.
In May 2015, limpoxe released plug-in framework: Android-Plugin-Framework.
In July 2015, kaedea released plug-in framework: android-dynamical-loading.
In August 27, 2015, it was the third milestone of Android plug-in technology, and Yong Zhang's DroidPlugin came out. Yong Zhang was a developer of the 360 Mobile Assistant App team, and DroidPlugin was the plug-in framework used by the mobile assistant App. The magic of this framework is that any App can be loaded into the host. You can write a host App based on this framework, and then you can load App written by others as plug-ins.
DroidPlugin puts the Hook to the highest.
DroidPlugin has a powerful features, but the cost is to modify with many internal code of Android. Due to no more documentation for the DroidPlugin project, this framework is difficult to be understood. There are many articles about DroidPlugin, but the best one is written by WeiShu Tian. At that time, he also worked for the same company with Yong Zhang, he wrote out a series of articles about DroidPlugin, including the principles of Binder and AIDL, the Hook mechanism, and the plug-in mechanism for the four major components.
2015 was the first year for Android plug-in development. Not only "that" framework and DroidPlugin, but also many plug-in frameworks were born at that time.
OpenAtlas, the project was released on Github in May and was renamed ACDD later. It proposes to modify and regenerate the AAPT command so that the resource id of the plug-in apk is no longer only fixed 0x7f, which can be modified to a value of 0x71. This solves the problem of resource ids conflicting after consolidating plug-in resources into HostApp resources in the host.
OpenAtlas is also based on 'execStartActivity' method, which was modified, in 'Instrumentation' which is belong to the internal code of Android. It can implementation the Activity as plug-in.
In addition, OpenAltas also modified the ContextWrapper, rewrites the getResource method. Because the Activity is the subclass of the ContextWrapper, the plug-in Activity will inherit the getResource methods to get the resources in the plug-in——this method is not be used now , we create a base class called BasePluginActivity for the plug-in Activity and override the getResource method to fetch plug-in resource.
Ctrip open source their plug-in framework DynamicAPK in October 2015, which is based on the OpenAltas framework and binds with Ctrip's own business logic.
At the end of December 2015, Guangliang Lin released the Small framework. At that time, he worked for a car trading platform at Fujian. This framework was tailored to the App for the car trading platform.
● Corresponding to the plug-in's ClassLoader, the Small framework inserted the dex file into the Host App's ClassLoader , so that Host App can load any class of any plug-in.
● The Small framework is an Activity, which starts the plug-ins through Hook Instrumentation. It is the same as the DroidPlugin, a StubActivity is declared in the AndroidManifest to trick the AMS.
● To support for the other three components in the Small framework is to declare the plug-in's Service, Receiver, and ContentProvider in HostApp's AndroidManifest.
● For the resources, the Small's solution has its own method. Using AssetManager's addAssetPath() method, all the plug-in resources are merged into the host's resources, if the resource id conflict occurs, Small did not use Atlas to modify the AAPT, but in the plug-in R.java and resource. After these two files generation, just change the prefix of all resources in the plug-in R.java from 0x7f to 0x71, and also change 0x7f to 0x71 in resource.arsc.
With the end of 2015, various technical issues involved in plug-in technology have already got one or more solutions. In this year, the plug-in technology is very varied. That period was dominated by the plug-in framework which was invented with individuals. It was basically divided into two categories. The dynamic replacement program represented by Yong Zhang's DroidPlugin, and Yugang Ren's "That" framework is represented by a static proxy scheme.
In 2015, Android hot fix technology and React Native appeared in the developer's world, provided the same advantages as Android plug-in technology. Android plug-in technology is no longer the only choice for developers.
Since 2016, domestic Internet companies have gradually opened their own plug-in framework. No more technology has been adopted at this time, because all the solutions of the plug-in technology had been given by individual developers in 2015. Internet companies are the best platform to verify the feasibility of these plug-in technologies because their apps are used by millions of users.
Let us enumerate them in chronological order:
In August 2016, Palmeras launched Zeus.
In March 2017, Alibaba launched Atlas.
June 26, 2017, 360 mobile phone launched RePlugin.
On June 29, 2017, Didi launched VisualApk.
After reading the source code of these frameworks carefully, we can find that such open source frameworks are focus on:
● Plug-in compatibility, including the impact of the upgrade of the Android system on the plug-in framework, and the impact of different mobile phone ROMs.
● plug-in stability, for example, different kinds of unknown crashes.
● Management of plug-ins, including installation and uninstallation.
In spite of the fact, a few years have passed, various plug-in frameworks have gradually become stable. Developers who are now engaged in plug-in technology only need to pay attention to the upgrade of the Android system version each year and the impact on their own framework if they eliminate such kind of influence.
With the mature of plug-in framework, many authors of plug-in technology have begun to change their focus. Some of them are still in the area of Android. For example, based on the DroidPlugin framework, Yong Zhang is doing his startup project——lightning boxes based on DroidPlugin framework; some for the Blockchain, they focus on writing smart contracts with GO language every day.
Thanks to those who have contributed in the field of plug-in technology, including the authors of the open source project, as well as authors who wrote the article on preaching. If some people may have some frameworks that may not be mentioned, any suggestions are welcome.

Of course you do. ALICE is everywhere. From Opelousas to Eunice, Arnaudville to Washington, Ville Platte to Mamou, the entire St. Landry and Evangeline Parishes - ALICE lives in the wonderful mosaic of communities that make up Acadiana. ALICE represents community members working in jobs that are needed, but don't always pay enough to afford the basics, such as our child care teachers, home health aides, mechanics, store clerks, office assistants and more. ALICE is men and women of all ages and races. ALICE is your customers, constituents, neighbors - even family members and friends. ALICE is the 'working poor'.
St. Landry-Evangeline United Way, in conjunction with the Louisiana Association of United Ways, has just published the updated version of the ALICE Report. The original ALICE Report Update for Louisiana was released in January 2016, with an additional update released in 2017. The new report advances that information by two years, updating data sources from 2014 to 2016. The United Way ALICE Report for Louisiana reveals that nearly half of Louisiana households struggle to make ends meet.
The United Way ALICE Report employs a Household Survival Budget (HSB), incorporating household costs such as housing, food, child care, transportation, healthcare, technology and taxes establishing a threshold for ALICE to survive. The average HSB for ALICE households in St. Landry Parish estimates $17,064 is needed for individuals and $50,904 for a 2 parent/1 preschooler/1 infant family to afford the bare minimum. In Evangeline Parish those estimates are $16,848 and $50,532 respectively. While this exceeds the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) of $11,490 for a single adult and $23,550 for a family of four, ALICE can barely live paycheck to paycheck.
Our goals are to give ALICE a voice, leverage the hard work of United Way and other nonprofits, and make it clear more needs to be done to help ALICE and those living in poverty so we can build a better, stronger Louisiana. We believe the United Way ALICE Report for Louisiana can equip communities with information to create innovative solutions.
With the cost of living higher than what most wages pay, ALICE families work hard and earn above the Federal Poverty Level, but not enough to afford a basic household budget of housing, child care, food, transportation, technology, and health care. ALICE households live in every parish in Louisiana – urban, suburban, and rural. They include women and men, young and old, of all races and ethnicities.
In Louisiana, 828,255 households – fully 48 percent – struggled to afford basic household necessities in 2016.
Louisiana's percentage of ALICE households puts it at the third highest percentage of all 50 states.
While the Federal Poverty Level reports that only 19% (327,037 Households) of Louisiana households face financial hardship, an additional 23% qualify as ALICE. In Southeast Louisiana 42% of the population is ALICE.
Low wage jobs dominate the local economy: More than 70 percent of jobs in Louisiana pay less than $20 per hour, with most paying less than $15 per hour ($15 per hour full time = $30,000/year). These jobs – especially service jobs that pay below $20 per hour and require only a high school education or less – will grow far faster than higher-wage jobs over the next decade.
The basic cost of living outpaces wages: The cost of basic household expenses in Louisiana is more than most of the region's jobs can support [Economic Viability Dashboard]. The average annual Household Survival Budget for a Louisiana family of four (two adults with one infant and one preschooler) is $43,032, an increase of almost $600 since the last report – nearly double the U.S. family poverty level of $23,550. Single Household Survival Budget $16,212 with the poverty level set at $11,490.
Jobs are not located near housing that is affordable: After Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and through the Great Recession from 2007 to 2010, housing affordability fell by one-third, and job opportunities fell 9 percent. Conditions did not improve from 2010 to 2013, so it remains difficult for ALICE households to find both housing affordability and job opportunities in many parishes in Louisiana.
Public and private assistance helps, but doesn't achieve financial stability: Assistance provides essential support for households below the ALICE Threshold but cannot lift all households to economic stability. Government, nonprofit, and health care organizations spend $10 billion on services for ALICE and poverty-level households in Louisiana to supplement their income, but even that total is still 14 percent short of lifting all households above the ALICE Threshold.
Consequences: When ALICE households cannot make ends meet, they are forced to make difficult choices such as forgoing health care, accredited child care, healthy food, or car insurance. These "savings" threaten their health, safety, and future – and they reduce productivity and raise insurance premiums and taxes for everyone. The costs are high for both ALICE families and the wider community.
Effective change: While short-term strategies can make conditions less severe, only structural economic changes will significantly improve the prospects for ALICE and enable hardworking households to support themselves. Strengthening the Louisiana economy and meeting ALICE's challenges are linked: Improvement for one would directly benefit the other. The ALICE tools can help policymakers, community leaders, and business leaders to better understand the magnitude and variety of households facing financial hardship, and to create more effective change.

I've decided that I want to put a little more effort into my reading challenges this year so I'm searching out some different ones that are out there. I've picked a few that I'm going to do. The first is The World Citizen Challenge.
I am picking this one for several reasons. First, it is non-fiction, which I have only really started reading for pleasure during the past couple of years, but enjoy immensely. Second, it encompasses things like history, economics, culture, and politics from an international perspective. Those are things that I would be reading about, but it will help give me some focus. Third, it's only seven books and can fit in nicely with the others that I am doing.
I'll be listing my books here and will link to it in my sidebar.

Booking Flights:
- Book your flights to either Asheville, NC or Charlotte, NC. The Asheville airport is the preferred airport since it is closer to our location than the Charlotte airport. The Asheville airport is 1 1/4 hr drive from us and the Charlotte airport is 2 1/2 to 3 hr drive.
- It would also be best if you didn't book your departure until the day after the workshop ends, so that you can take all of your completed pieces home with you, including those that come out of the kiln during the evening of the last day. UPS shipping is also available in Burnsville, NC.
- You may also want to plan on spending an extra day or more in the area since there are many fabulous area attractions (Blue Ridge Parkway, Asheville), hiking, music, festivals, and restaurants & craft breweries to enjoy.
We are actually located in the Cattail Creek Community about 20 minutes south of Burnsville, NC. There are quite a few great rental options that can be found in Burnsville or around Cattail Creek Community.
Cattail Creek Community Vacation Rentals
You can actually walk up to our studio each morning from some of these vacation rentals……if you are so inclined.
Class participants can choose to rent a car for the duration of their stay if they are not driving their own car; this can be done at either Asheville or Charlotte airports upon arrival.
PLEASE NOTE: Choose a car that you will feel comfortable driving on gravel roads. The last 3.5 miles of road are gravel and some on private gravel roads.

Findings have been released from the ongoing French NutriNet-Santé study providing evidence of a strong link between intake of ultra-processed foods and mortality in adults aged 45 and above.
Consumption of ready meals and other forms of ultra-processed foods high in saturated fat, sugar and salt accounted for an average of 29% of total calorie intake of participants, who were monitored over a 7 year period.
Results show that a 10% increase in the consumption of ultra-processed foods is associated with a 14% higher risk of all-cause mortality, namely cardiovascular disease and cancer related deaths.

big picture, health, life, negativity, relationships, soul, spirit, spiritual health
So, we've probably all known someone at some point in our lives that fits in the "negative" category among our acquaintances.
You know who I'm talking about…
…the one with the extraordinary gift of finding something bad in every single situation, the reverse-Pollyanna character, the "glass half-empty" type, the guy with a "woe-is-me" complex.
…the one always posting depressing social media statuses and depressing comments on everyone else's posts.
…the one that comes into your vicinity and you can literally feel the positive energy being sucked out of the air before they even fully enter the room.
…the one that would probably have their picture superimposed over Eeyore's in the Disney character index.
Any of those descriptions sound familiar?
They come in various forms and sizes, but the essential qualities of this negative type are always the same. Brooding, pessimistic, moody, a dark shadow in the atmosphere, a harsh puff of cold wind against the smallest spark of light.
It's like despair is sometimes a way of life for them, and yet, they are not visibly suffering from it; in fact, though they may not acknowledge it, they actually enjoy living in their own little world of misery.
Negativity is an addictive luxury that is impossible for them to break away from. Even if they recognize that negativity is not the most alluring quality, they still feel the inescapable pull, like Anakin feeling the pull of the dark side.
What they don't realize is that, like the deadly influence of a drug, this addiction leaves repercussions in its wake that are far more devastating than they can imagine.
Negativity is a cancer that eats away at every part of the heart and soul, and worse, it's contagious. It can cripple not only the one emitting it, but also every person within receiving distance.
A negative person might not feel an urgency to change their ways because, well, it's their own problem, and they kinda like it right now and they just want everyone to leave them alone and let them be themselves. They'll deal with it in their own time, and it's no one else's business but their own.
But they miss the fact that they are hurting the people around them, the family and friends that they love and care about the most. Ultimately, it's not just their business.
Okay, so this negative person sounds horrible, right? Like the bane of the earth. A plague that should be eradicated from the face of the planet.
Here's some tough love: You just doomed yourself in that sweeping statement of eviction.
Yes, I'm talking about you. Well, and me.
I think I can safely say that we have all been that negative person at some point in our lives. In fact, your mom or sister or friend who's reading this article right now in the other room or across town just read the very first sentence and thought of you.
But seriously, it's true. Right?
I freely admit it. I'm that negative person more than I would like to acknowledge. I let myself get carried away by feelings of doubt, pessimism, frustration, and general grumpiness. I can be a real grouch. Sometimes I can be so dark and moody I would probably make Pollyanna cry.
And I so often don't realize how my little misery walks are casting a shadowy pall across everyone around me.
You know how it feels to be on the receiving end of that kind of negativity. It's not fun.
So, I'm just here to remind you (and myself), don't be the one giving that kind of negativity.
Now, I do want to point out that when I refer to "negativity" in this post, I'm not talking about legitimately suffering from chronic depression or feelings of hopelessness. Those can stem from real physiological and psychological disorders and I'm not dismissing those conditions or their validity in any way.
What I mean here is intentional reactions of frustration, moodiness, and a woe-is-me mentality that are often based on circumstances and the less-than-perfect happenings of daily life. Life can be harsh, and we like to be harsh right back. Or sometimes we just plain don't wanna deal, so we don't, and we make everyone around us just as miserable as we are in the process.
I realize it's hard to completely eject it from our lives. Especially when our circumstances are just asking for a nasty, sour-faced response. Sometimes we feel like no one else understands what we're going through, and we're completely entitled to our precious tantrums and tirades whenever and however we want, no matter the consequences.
But I want to remind you that those consequences DO matter. More than we realize.
Besides the damaging emotional and interpersonal effects that I already talked about, prolonged negativity can have significant mental and physical consequences as well. Living in a constant environment of negative energy will lead to disease in all areas of our lives–mind, body, and spirit.
As a Christian, I know that I have even more reason than most to say goodbye to this attitude of negativity in my life.
One of my main callings as a follower of Jesus is to project his spirit of love, joy, and peace into the world around me. So if I'm constantly reacting to my circumstances with grumbling, complaining, cynicism, apathy, and other poor-me, generally non-spirit-filled, responses, then the people around me aren't going to think much of the Jesus that I claim to follow.
Where is the allure in that?
Jesus didn't go around moping and grumbling about his life, even though he frequently dealt with harsh and cruel conditions. He didn't let the negativity of his circumstances seep into his spirit and sour his attitude.
Instead, he was constantly turning to his Father for wisdom and inspiration on the next step in his life. He was always looking toward the future and the ultimate grand plan of the universe. Knowing that everything that happened to him, good or bad, was for a greater purpose, he saw that purpose instead of the circumstances themselves.
His plan was to destroy the works of darkness, negativity and cynical-thinking included. So why do we so often let the devil win in that area?
If we are going to overcome our tendencies toward negativity and cynicism we need to be future-minded. It's easy to be caught up in the nitty-gritty and mundane details of life when we're stuck in our bug's-eye perspective.
Let's aim for the bird's-eye view instead.
And even if we can't quite see it yet, we can still know that there is a big picture to life, that each piece of the puzzle is steadily moving into place, and it will be a good, beautiful picture when it's finished.
Life is a tapestry, but so often we can only see one thread at a time, or maybe the ugly backside of the cloth. But God sees and knows the entire breathtaking view.
In my mind, remembering that is the best way to cure the negativity cancer for good.

Latest Trinity Mirror 'restructure' sprung on Daily Post & Chester Chronicle staff
In a statement issued today the National Union of Journalists have reacted to the latest round of restructuring in Trinity Mirror – the publishers of the Daily Post.
It states: "In the North West of England the company has announced it will discontinue print production in Merseyside, Cheshire and North Wales.
"This will be replaced with two sites based in Liverpool and Colwyn Bay. The company has indicated its intention to move to just one site in Liverpool in future and this will cover all local newspaper print production in the North West." Adding that print production in Chester would cease in October.
Update – we have had sight of the direct internal statement. The communique issued by the Editor of the Liverpool Echo, and Editor-in-Chief of Merseyside, Cheshire and North Wales states: "Here in the North West region we are therefore proposing to discontinue the current print production operating model which allows for three print production sites, in Merseyside, Cheshire and North Wales."
"We are proposing to operate a single print production rota for the North West around two print sites – one in Liverpool and one in Colwyn Bay. Ultimately we would envisage a single site print production centre based in Liverpool. This means we are proposing to end print production in Chester with effect from week commencing October 16 with staff moving to the Old Hall Street production centre."
Yesterday it was also announced that Trinity Mirror was converting two daily newspapers in Gloucester (each with 8k circulations) to weekly publications, with the reasoning that the majority of their readers took a paper once a week, with updates online filling the gap daily.
Observations by HoldTheFrontPage.co.uk and commenters on there compared the situation to the Liverpool Daily Post that was subject to a similar move, and subsequent closure.
People familiar with the matter told us of their concerns at the move that 'came out of the blue to staff', noting that the Llandudno Junction Daily Post office was sold off to a supermarket and now operates out of new rented office space. That move was described as 'a total joke', with the announcement kept from staff, only finding out via a press release from Lidl – which itself was vetoed from being run in the paper.
The new plans will see print production, in part the skilful job of putting together engaging newspaper pages, moved away from Chester. The NUJ statement indicates a possible future plan is that the Daily Post would have such production taking place outside of Wales in Liverpool.
We are told that staff do not believe there is any immediate plans to close the Chester office, however say there has been local redundancies, and with recent departures there are only two reporters left covering the city. Overall around 40 jobs have been cut, with 15 new roles created, in the company wide announcement.
Recently Trinity Mirror have rejigged their 'regions' in a move that saw an 'enhanced' South West region wrapping Devon and Cornwall in with Cardiff and Swansea. Up here the Daily Post / North Wales is seen as part of the North West operation.
Concerns over the content of the papers have been raised to us, with 'more homogenised data from UK data unit' and 'community content editors' replacing journalists, with an increase in Press Association content all raising eyebrows.
The above is taking place as Trinity Mirror have confirmed they are in discussions to acquire 100% of Northern and Shell, better known as publishers of the Daily Star, Sunday Express, Daily Express and OK! magazine.
When the Daily Post went on strike we wrote "…our overall fear is if the Trinity Mirror path is followed it will result in The Daily Post being merged with Wales Online and run from Liverpool and Cardiff. That, to us, is not good news for Wrexham, North East Wales or Wales."

(4) whether, the court's activism in deciding the issue is appropriate having regard to its role and the role of the other branches of
[33] In the immediate case, it is in the interests of justice to hear
the appeal. The issue in the immediate case is significant to operation of the Mental Health Act and to the exercise of the Board's
jurisdiction. The matter of the role and responsibility of the Board
in providing due process to self-represented parties is a matter of
public interest and of importance worthy of appellate review. It is

destroyed the hearings adjudicative and adversarial context and
resulted in a legal process that was procedurally unfair.

Judy Chicago's Amazon Dinner Plate + The Dinner Party Book
Judy Chicago's Amazon Dinner Plate + The Dinner Party Book
The perfect The Dinner Party bundle - Amazon Dinner Plate + The Dinner Party: Restoring Women to History by Judy Chicago
Amazon Dinner Plate
Amazon societies circa the second and third millennia were egalitarian, democratic, and generally peaceable – all the qualities you'd hope for in a dinner guest. Taken from Judy Chicago's 'The Dinner Party', this design features detailed decorative patterns of the Amazons: a white egg, red crescent, and black stone which join to form a mythical warrior woman. They are accompanied by metallic breastplates, worn by Amazons in battle. While upraised double axes – or 'labyris' – used in felling trees, clearing land, and in worshipping the Goddess adorn the sides.
The Dinner Party: Restoring Women to History
Judy Chicago
About Judy Chicago
The Trailblazer.
You may know her as a key player in the feminist movement, but Judy Chicago is much, much more. Think innovators and early adopters – then go one step earlier, and you'll find Chicago. She is a pioneer who sees art as language. And like any language, she believes art can be learned, it must be used and maintained, and it must evolve. Chicago is an artist, author of 14 books, and educator whose work shouts out for women's rights to freedom of expression. She founded a feminist art and art education program in California in the early 1970s, then created 'The Dinner Party': an epic installation now housed at the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at New York's Brooklyn Museum. From 1974 to 1979, she painstakingly arranged the 39 place settings that make up the artwork – places for prehistoric goddesses, women in Christianity and the Reformation, and early revolutionaries such as Virginia Woolf and Georgia O'Keeffe. It's the ultimate can't-miss dinner party, and Judy Chicago is the ultimate powerhouse host.

A girl walks past cupid standing on the street,
She's got her head down, eyes down staring at her feet,
Cupid draws his bow, takes aim and shoots,
The arrow was to help the girl lover her attributes.
For cupid's arrow possesses the power,
To help someone feel empowered,
To love not someone that you meet,
But rather, love from your head to your feet.
So if you're feeling not good enough,
Remember cupid's arrow full of love.

Hello FIRST Teams!
I had a request to send out an email to all our rookies to help explain what FIRST Choice is and to help folks understand the Virtual Kit of Parts (VKOP). It occurred to me that we have a lot of turn-over with students and mentors, so I thought a good portion of experienced teams could use the information as well. As with most things in FRC our teams have already generated some really useful information special thanks to Teams 900, 4188, and 5256 for putting these resources together for us!
Virtual KOP – Items like software, redeemable vouchers, and more…
FIRST Choice – Items made available by suppliers in smaller quantities but not enough items for all teams. These item are given out based on "draft", where each team must log in to the system and prioritize which items you prefer to receive.
Marshall from team 900 (The Zebracorns) just hosted a webinar on the VKOP and FIRST Choice which is located at the link below.
I highly suggest you watch this webinar, Marshall did a great job! The slides are attached.
Also, the link below from Team 5256 does a really good job of explaining most things about FRC robots.
Chief Delphi (https://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/portal.php) is an online forum dedicated to FIRST and FRC that contains a wealth of information. I highly suggest that someone from your team at least monitors this forum. Unfortunately, it is an internet forum that is susceptible to all the problems with internet forums. Verify any information and rule interpretations through the appropriate channels before acting upon what you read on any non-FIRST internet sources.
One of our extended family members "Spectrum" Team 3847 has put together a few suggestions for your FIRST Choice selections at https://blog.spectrum3847.org/2018/11/first-choice-and-kop-vouchers.html
Please spend some time looking over their blog, they are a great team and they go above and beyond trying to help other teams.
If you need additional help, please reach out to me (Clint Brawley, email@example.com) or our new Louisiana Senior Mentor April Gaydos (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Please ensure that your team utilizes the Virtual Kit of Parts and the product vouchers, it will help your team.

Stifel notches recruiting record; net income jumps 56%
Stifel's aggressive recruiting strategy has pushed head count up, helping its wealth management unit turn out record revenues, the company said.
Advisor head count jumped to 2,298 for the third quarter, a net increase of 31 from the prior period and 47 from the year-ago period. Stifel reported that wealth management net revenue rose to $498 million from $453 million for the year-ago period, a 9.8% increase.
"It was our best quarterly recruiting total in roughly 10 years, excluding acquisitions," CEO Ronald Kruszewski said Tuesday during an earnings call with analysts.
Kruszewski says he expects the firm's hiring spree to continue.
"While recruiting levels can vary quarter to quarter, we are seeing elevated levels of interest among advisors in joining Stifel — and we are increasingly turning them into Stifel advisors," the chief executive said.
Kruszewski said Stifel has seen stronger recruitment since it began boosting signing bonuses. Stifel had cut its recruiting bonuses after the Labor Department issued regulatory guidance suggesting such deals could improperly incentivize brokers to encourage clients to move accounts between firms. But the fiduciary rule was vacated earlier this year following a lengthy court challenge by Wall Street lobbying groups.
"We scaled back during the DoL timeframe because of our view of what could have happened with regard to retirement assets. And also with regard to what would have been permitted with regard to incentive comp," Kruszewski said.
Now, Stifel is "more engaged," he said.
Like other regional brokerage firms, Stifel has hired a number of wirehouse advisors over the past year. Some of these advisors have said they were leaving the wirehouses in search of a different corporate culture and a less burdensome bureaucracy.
Stifel's recruiting spree continued Wednesday, when a spokesman said the St. Louis-based firm had brought on six advisors managing a combined $558 million in client assets.
Three of the new hires had come from wirehouses. Former Merrill Lynch advisors Dave Harris and Chris Buccheri joined Stifel in Bel Air, Maryland, and Naples, Florida, respectively. They previously oversaw $330 million in client assets, according to Stifel. Ex-UBS advisor Dan Long also joined the Naples office as a producing branch manager. At UBS, Long was responsible for $55 million.
The other hires joined from regional firms. Elliot Treece and Martin Nichols came from Edward Jones and now operate from Stifel's office in Paducah, Kentucky. They managed $87 million and $53 million, respectively. In Scottsdale, Arizona, Stifel hired former Raymond James advisor Rachel Hall. She had overseen $33 million at her former employer, according to Stifel.
These and other new hires have been a factor in boosting Stifel's asset levels. The firm reported total client assets of $289 billion, up 9.2% year-over-year from $264 billion.
Companywide, net revenue rose to $738 million from $731 million for the year-ago period, a 2.4% increase. Stifel's net income surged to $103 million from $66 million, a 56% increase.

- "There's one of my personal favourites, Paul Bunyan! Running 230 rpm on that front blade, and he's got plenty of traction and he can turn on a dime!"
- — Stefan Frank introduces Paul Bunyan in the Robot Rebellion
Paul Bunyan was a robot from Washington that competed in the second season of Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors. It participated in the US championship and the Robot Rebellion respectively, but lost both Round One battles.
Its name came from the giant lumberjack from American folklore. The teams name "The Fighting Lumberjacks" was also a reference to the character.
Paul Bunyan was a four-wheeled robot whose primary weapons were a spinning cross and a rear spike. Despite having good traction, the weapon was very ineffective as it can only spin up to 230rpm and the wheels were exposed.
Robot HistoryEdit
Season 2Edit
Paul Bunyan was up against The Falcon Mark 2 and Bunny Attack in the first round of Heat H.
The battle started with The Falcon Mark 2 immediately going on the offence against Bunny Attack. Although Bunny Attack tried going after both opponents, it was pushed around some more. Paul Bunyan had lost the use of its spinner, so it merely drove around the arena passively. Sir Killalot was reprimanded for leaving his CPZ, and then Paul Bunyan was limply tapped by Bunny Attack's hammer a couple of times. The judges chose to eliminate Paul Bunyan, as it wasn't aggressive enough, and didn't cause much damage.
Paul Bunyan also participated in the Robot Rebellion. In its first round match, it faced Snake Bite.
After a shoving match between the two competitors, Paul Bunyan was caught by Sgt. Bash's claws. Sir Killalot came in and lifted Paul Bunyan up, nearly toppling Sgt. Bash by accident. Paul Bunyan escaped but was caught by the House Robots again. Sgt. Bash used his claw to break Paul Bunyan's disc and Sir Killalot then carried Paul Bunyan around the arena, eventually dumping it over the wall, eliminating Paul Bunyan from the competition.

Report: Inter Milan to Make Arturo Vidal Its Top Summer Transfer Target
Serie A side Inter have made Bayern Munich star midfielder Arturo Vidal their No. 1 transfer target for the summer, providing they qualify for the Champions League at the end of the season.
The San Siro outfit got off to a flying start this term, but a series of poor results have seen them drop out of the Champions League places to land in the fifth spot of the league standings.
They are, however, just one point behind fourth-placed Lazio and two adrift of third-placed AS Roma, while Napoli and Juventus continue to battle for the Scudetto at the top of the table.
Per Calciomercato, Inter have not given up hope of landing the Chilean, who has been playing for the Bundesliga giants since 2013 after making the switch from Juve. The report claims that they will make Vidal their chief summer target if they manage to qualify for Europe's top competition at the end of the current campaign.
The Suning Group are hopeful of landing at least two big names in the summer as they plan for a potential first season in the Champions League since they took over as owners.
Bryan Cristante, a midfielder on loan from Benfica at Atalanta, is understood to have already been identified as a secondary option should the club's move for Vidal fail.
Financial clout could become a problem for the Chinese company however, as the Chinese government is said to be cracking down on the way their companies invest on foreign soil by means of strict sanctions.

Habitat selection : how sensory systems influence settlement patterns in larval red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus)
Havel, Lisa Nicole
MetadataShow full item record
Settlement is arguably the last stage of high mortality in the life cycle of many marine fish species with a bipartite life cycle, making the number of larvae that settle successfully to a benthic habitat a reasonable determinant of future population size. Habitat selection during settlement is likely an active process, however, much of what we know about settlement behavior comes from studies in coral reef ecosystems. This collection of studies examined the ability of estuarine-dependent fish larvae (red drum, Sciaenops ocellatus) to locate settlement sites based on information received from their senses, with a focus on the different spatial scales over which larval sensory systems operate. During the pelagic phase, red drum are exposed to elevated sound levels in the tidal inlets. This noise caused larvae to reduce their activity in the form of fewer turns, less time spent swimming, and a lower overall mean speed compared with silent controls. As red drum approached settlement size, but not at earlier stages, they responded to olfactory cues associated with seagrass beds, their primary settlement habitat. Activity increased in the presence of lignin, a compound associated with the cell walls of vascular plants. Also, settlement-size larvae spent more time in water masses taken from seagrass beds compared to control sea water, implying a preference for olfactory cues associated with estuaries. While settlement and post-settlement-size larvae positioned themselves near the benthos regardless of water column height or substrate color, pre-settlement larvae moved away from yellow and green (associated with the estuary) but not black (associated with a deep water column) benthic colors. Additionally, red drum larvae settled to seagrass and sand at a smaller size than they did to oyster shells, and they delayed settlement when a suitable benthic habitat was not available. These findings can be interpreted as evidence for an estuarine-dependent species taking advantage of cues available to multiple sensory systems in order to actively locate settlement habitats.

For those new to mirrorless cameras, there are a coupe of sites that I know of where you can get pretty solid information on these systems.
Thom Hogan is a well-known professional photographer who has been writing about Nikon equipment for a long time. He has been moving into the mirrorless space and has launched a web site covering only that at Sans Mirror (http://sansmirror.com) ...
For US residents only, click the t-shirt image and enter the contest for a limited edition T-Shirt ... and for the rest of the planet, click the t-shirt image and read about mirrorless cameras ...
A second site that you should be aware of is Discover Mirrorless (I said wireless in the first version of this post – thanks Piotr) at http://www.discovermirrorless.com/ … this is one of Will Crockett's sites, another and more famous of which is Shoot Smarter.
Will has a wide gamut of contributors that include some excellent professional photographers that are showing what can be done with mirrorless cameras, so this is a good place to do your research.
Of course, there is also the old standby at http://dpreview.com, where you can look at several forums covering m4/3, NEX and Nikon 1 cameras. Great stuff.

Clueless with Julie Mayer - BBC Radio Leicester Sunday 1st March 2015
We will go to any lengths to attract attention to our cause of recruiting new dancers. Pauline was quick to take up the offer from BBC Radio Leicester for hiding a clue by her Oil Tank which is disguised as a church - complete with clock tower. Never one to miss an opportunity Pauline was kitted out in full bells and Baldricks waiting for the arrival of on the road presenter Julie Mayer to find the next clue. When Julie arrived about 11.30 Pauline soon had her kitted up for a quick 'stick dance' - with a very short burst of music provided by Rowena and Bill. The clue was found and as Julie fought her way out of her Baldricks
Pauline got in a plug for our recruitment drive and the promise of a telephone interview on Radio Leicester - so well done 'Pauline.

"Beyond My Dream" brings some early music of Ralph Vaughan Williams to light — and gives us a hint of what might have been.
George Gilbert Murray published what were considered to be the definitive English translations of ancient Greek plays. And he had very definite ideas of how they should be staged — including music.
He was not happy with settings of his translations by Granville Bantock and Gustav Holst. Murray wanted something that more closely followed the rhythm and stress patterns of the original Greek.
Enter graduate student Ralph Vaughan Williams. He was recommended to Murray by his friend Herbert Fisher — who was also Vaughan Williams' brother in law.
Murray and Vaughan Williams worked together, developing three plays for performance. Along the way, famed dancer Isadora Duncan became involved. Her innovative dance techniques further inspired the young composer.
Unfortunately, the productions fell through, and the plays were never produced. Some of Vaughan Williams' music was heard in a concert performance, then filed away. Only recently did conductor Alan Tongue find it again and prepared it for performance
Not all of the music has survived, but there's enough to give the listener a sense of what RVW could have done. The Bacchae has but one selection: "Thou immaculate on high." Two selections survive from "Electra." "Iphigenia in Taurus" has five pieces, including the overture.
This music isn't the pastoral English style Vaughan Williams would later perfect. There's an indefinite modal quality to these works as if the music continually oscillates between tonalities. The phrasing is irregular, matching the declamation of the text without following English speech patterns.
To me, some of the selections sounded like prototypes of later spiritual works, such as "Pilgrim's Progress." Still, in these works, RVW's style doesn't sound fully gelled. And that's a good thing. It gives this music an other-worldly quality.
Whether you're a fan of RVW's music or not, I think there's quite a bit here to enjoy.

The Guardian University League Table ranks universities according to: course satisfaction; teaching quality; feedback; staff-student ratio; spend per student; average entry tariff; a value-added score that compares students' degree results with their entry qualifications; career after six month and continuation rate.
The Faculty's notable achievements include:
- Physics soars 5 places to rank 2nd nationally
- Chemistry rises 6 places to rank 5th nationally
- Psychology soars 16 places to rank 6th nationally
Professor Peter Atkinson, Dean for the Faculty of Science and Technology at Lancaster University, said: "I am delighted with another set of outstanding outcomes for the Faculty of Science and Technology.
"These results demonstrate the notably high quality of teaching and learning across all of our Science and Technology subjects, with our Faculty proving to continue to be highly attractive to prospective students."
The latest tables build on the recent successes in The Complete University Guide 2020, which saw the Faculty of Science and Technology hold five top ten subject areas nationally, and the University rising one place to seventh, its highest ever national ranking in this table.
Lancaster University has climbed to joint seventh in the Guardian University League Table 2020, confirming its place as one of the UK's leading institutions.

How to request a wired connection
Reviewed by Bil Hays 04/22/2013
Almost every office currently has 9 data ports, although not all are active. If you would like a data port active, please send email to firstname.lastname@example.com and send your office number, and the number of the port that you'd like to have activated. (Ports are labeled, beginning with a D followed by a number). Even at that level, we cannot guarantee we can connect anything and everything folks might want on the network. However:
- We will provide a connection for at least one machine provided by the department for each affiliate with office space in Sitterson hall.
- In cases where a user has additional machines, provided by themselves, the department, or another source, we will make additional connections as possible, depending on what ports are free, overall network load, and personnel time.
- In cases where an office does not have sufficient connections for that space, Computer Services will provide a small switch, but there may be a charge for the hardware.

The sweet family that watched our dogs while we were gone to the mountains, emailed a couple of times. They made a point of always mentioning Husky. This little voice said in my mind, you should ask them. So awkwardly, I emailed and asked if they would consider adopting our sweet Husky. They asked lots of questions and then took him on for a trial week. They have had two Husky dogs before and so are familiar with the breed and their needs. They have a lot more land than we do. And most importantly, no one is allergic to dogs at their house! Sweet Lizzy went with me to drop him, his crate, and his food off. She was sad. He did well and they have decided to keep him. Husky is such a good dog. I hope he will be happy!
Bella started the week out with a trip to Dr. Jacks, an orthopedist. Bella's leg is finally straight, so it's time to remove the eight plate in her knee. Dr. Jacks also felt that we should get that patella into place. So on the 27th we'll head to the hospital and tackle that. Our PT came with us to this appointment. I was thankful that she would do that. Bella, of course, was freaking out to be in a doctor's office. I tried to make it up to her with pizza!
Fall is so beautiful here!
I sent this in an email message, so instead of re-wording the experience:
Joy and I took Patches (she calls her Puppy) to the vet last night after yet another bout of bloody diarrhea. Patches is 18 years old, has bad cataracts on both eyes and having problems with bowel control. The vet said it was time, so we put Patches to sleep. It was heartbreaking. Mama cried.
We buried Patches in the backyard. Joy is very, very confused. She keeps asking where Patches is and if the doctor made her better with her shot.
What have we been telling her?
Patches was very sick. No, Patches did get better.
We even tried….Patches went to live with Jesus, but she just doesn't understand.
Death is a hard concept for children, period. Add in a cognitive delay and…
It felt so weird to walk around the house. Patches died in my arms.
I was thankful this was in my feed a few days later:
In one week, we went from two dogs to none. Sad, happy for Husky, heartbroken to have an animal died in my hands, so many different emotions.
And then Wednesday: This girl loves her dance class! Then Bella and I raced over to a beautiful Catholic church in downtown Louisville.
Sammi had an all day field trip culminating with a concert in the evening. I was so proud of her. Last year she had a panic attack and had to leave during the morning. This year she made it all the way through! (she didn't want me to film any of the songs, but I couldn't help myself! She said how good can it be after only one day?)
Thursday Lizzy had auditions for All County Orchestra. Again she tried out for a year above – so as a 7th grader, she auditioned for the 8th Grade Orchestra. (One of the benefits of being so behind in blogging, we now have the results…..), she made it, AND she made First Chair! Way to go Lizzy!!!
After that we immediately ran to the church. Thursday was the night of Lizzy's Modest Fashion Show. She planned it all, organized it all, everything, for one of her projects for Personal Progress. It was a great night. Her decorations were cute. The speaker did an excellent job. The YW had fun modeling. The Activity Day girls had fun watching. I was so proud of her!
Friday night Lizzy and her friend went to the temple to do Baptisms. Love seeing my girls in the House of the Lord!
Saturday Jason attended Stake Auxillary Training while the rest of us attended the Council on Developmental Disabilities' Fall Family Festival. We had a wonderful time!
In the afternoon, Jason and I went for a bike ride. It is so beautiful in Kentucky! Cameras just can't capture it!
So, it was a week – that's for sure. So many highs and two pretty big lows. Life!

A person's got to eat, right? And sometimes you get hungry during that awkward space after dinner but before breakfast. So where can go when you're craving a midnight snack? When its a really late night (or a painfully early morning) these Fayetteville hotspots have you covered.
Pickleman's Gourmet Cafe
After nearly 20 years working in the food industry, Doug Stritzel finally realized his dream of opening his own establishment. The result? Pickleman's Gourmet Cafe, a casual joint featuring a diverse menu of comfort-food favorites. From subs (try the Hodge Podge!) to pizzas, this place has something for everyone. And with hours that span until 3 am (2 am Sunday-Thursday), it's an easy place to stop when your hunger can't wait until breakfast.
JJ's Grille of Fayetteville
Open until midnight, JJ's Grille advises that you "do your mouth a favor" and enjoy your late night eats there. And why not? With an extensive menu of grill-oriented food, this is the perfect spot to indulge. Try the Bear Trap Burger, featuring green chili peppers, buffalo sauce, jalapeno-lime sauce, avocado, cheddar cheese and an onion ring. If appetizers are more your speed, JJ's has everything you can think of from Cheeze Fries to several varieties of chicken wings (can you handle Nuclear!?).
Buck's of Asia
When you're craving something different, Buck's of Asia is the place to go. Featuring Asian cuisine that runs the gamut from Vietnamese to Chinese to Thai, Buck's of Asia is open daily until 2 am. A steaming bowl of Pho will heat you up on a cool evening while their bubble tea will cool you down during a heat wave. And when you and your fellow late-nighters just want some classic egg rolls, they offer the option to order a platter of ten.
When you make your home at The Academy at Frisco, everything you could want is right at your doorstep...even in the middle of the night! To learn more about everything we offer, please contact us for a personal tour.

Is Gordon Brown a bully? That is a question that has received a great deal of media attention this week. Is he in the habit of grabbing staff by the collar, shoving them out of way or throwing things across the room? Does he shout, lose his temper and generally intimidate the staff at Number 10 - resulting in several employees phoning bullying help-lines?
It is unlikely that the truth behind these accusations will be easy to ascertain. This FNT article does not intend to explore the allegations to understand what's true or false. Instead of considering whether or not Gordon Brown needs to book himself into an anger management course, this article introduces what the Bible has to say about anger.
Jesus, in his Sermon on the Mount, said, "You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgement.' But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment." (Matthew 5:22,22a) Challenging words! However, later in the book of Matthew (21:12,13) we read of Jesus, overturning the moneychangers tables in the temple – now if that's not a display of anger I don't know what is!!
So what are we to make of this? Was Jesus guilty of hypocrisy, saying one thing yet doing another? That would seem unlikely! Instead, it is common for commentators to use these two passages to distinguish between two types of anger - bad anger and good anger. It's also a distinction that many anger management courses make.
Bad anger is anger that is unreasonable, hateful and often selfish in its origin. Its outcomes can be abusive, violent and usually uncontrolled. It's the anger of road rage, someone in front of us makes a mistake, no one expects us to be happy about it, but surely it's unreasonable to get so worked up about it and wrong to think hateful thoughts and shout unkind words. After all, what good does it do anyone? I suspect it was bad anger that Jesus was comparing to murder.
Good anger is the anger that Jesus displayed the day he overturned the tables of the moneychangers. It wasn't selfish, he was angry because what they were doing was wrong. The motivation behind good anger is pure. It's not unreasonable, selfish or hateful. However, it's not simply motivation that is important, it's also how the emotion of anger is outworked. I would suggest that Jesus' actions were appropriate, controlled and achieved a positive outcome. Surely it's OK to be angry when we discover that MPs have been abusing the expenses system. However, that doesn't mean a hateful and abusive, even violent, response is appropriate – that wouldn't lead to a positive outcome. When we learn that countless children are dying each day because they are living in abject poverty, anger would certainly seem to be an appropriate emotion. But, what does that anger motivate us to do?
The Bible doesn't just talk about our anger; it reveals a God who gets angry. Many people seem to have a picture of God that resembles the behaviour that Gordon Brown is being accused of, a God who lashes out when he gets annoyed. That's not the picture the Bible paints. God's anger is not unreasonable and random, it's reasonable and specific – God anger is directed at sin (Romans 2:5-8). We may struggle to understand the ins and outs of the outworking of God's anger, but we have to trust him, acknowledging his perfection and goodness, accepting that his actions are more appropriate than we can imagine and are leading towards a positive outcome. The Bible certainly reveals a God who is able to control his anger (Psalm 103:8,9). We'd be in trouble if he couldn't!

Edinburgh's Christmas has begun! I've been visiting the market at the heart of Edinburgh for years now. I've been on work Christmas nights out, spent time there with teenagers, had a very memorable magical grown up Christmas Eve &, more recently, visited frequently with young children in tow. There really is something for everyone at every stage of life & I wanted to give you my take on what we enjoy & what we are looking forward to this year!
The Traditional Christmas Market in East Princes Street Gardens is my personal favourite part of Edinburgh's Christmas. Most adults will spend the vast part of their visit strolling through the boutique stalls, sipping on a mulled wine or hot chocolate while nibbling on a pretzel, burger or waffle. Christmas heaven!
The Carousel is always a big hit with both young kids & the young at heart! The Christmas Market boasts not one but two Carousels, one of which is double tiered. A beautiful traditional ride & the opportunity for a great picture!
A trip through the Christmas Tree Maze is a magical experience for children & a great way to safely burn off some energy as they hunt for Santa's Elves workshop & a chocolate treat!
Santa's Grotto is best booked in advance & one for older children as it includes a story with Santa. Little kids may get fidgety but it's a great one for new babies for their first ever picture with Father Christmas – here's my daughter meeting him for the first time!
Speaking of my daughter, she is desperate to go on the Big Wheel this year. There'll be amazing views of the city in an enclosed (& probably warmer) pod so I am happy with that too.
The Reindeer Ride has been a favourite of my nieces, nephews & now my own kids. They love driving the reindeer & shaking the bells on the harness. Watch out for the snow as you go round!
We've not tried the Candy Cane Bungees before but are keen to give them a go. Maybe before we stop for some treats though!
What are your favourite parts of the Christmas celebrations in Edinburgh?

What's more important knowledge or skill? A former teacher of mine used to ask this on a regular basis. Though it took me longer than I thought to really value the wisdom in this question, or its answer.
Growing up my family valued intelligence above most other things, often more than skill or sometimes even first hand experience. So it's not surprising that most of my life I've thought knowledge was a thing to be coveted. Since I do still think this, though maybe now to a different degree, it's not surprising that for quite a while my answer to the question was knowledge. But how does that compare in value to the application of skill? One can certainly have read a book on a subject and probably be able to relate what was learned from it, but how can that information become applied without the addition of skill?

We seek to "grow in the beauty" of the Lord each time we gather through passionate worship and teaching. Our worship service is casual and the gospel centered preaching will appeal not only to believers, but also seekers and skeptics.
Meals are a daily reminder of our common need for God and His faithfulness to provide both physically and spiritually. Jesus called us to remember Him and His sacrifice for us through a meal. We will regularly eat meals with those not in our immediate family or circle of close friends, discipling them toward a life of dependence on God.
Gospel Communities
Small groups of people (8 to 10 people) who meet once a week in a home, for the purpose of doing life together, learning God's word and putting into practice the teachings of Christ. This will create light in the community
We will never be all about whom we have in our worship community, but instead of whom we still have not. Everything we do, whether it is an event or a project, is wholly community based.
We have a culture and reputation of being a generous church. This is reflected in our leadership and disciples.

Tips to Going for the Best Amusement or Party Rental
Having a successful party or amusement moments highly depend on the party rentals or the amusement rentals you are working with. I would be critical to consider going through a number of things in the amusement and party rentals just to be sure that one is landing the best. It is critical to know that some of the advertisements tend to be bloated. As a result, it would be critical to enquire more on the rental you plan to work with.
To begin with, you would need to check the pictorial evidence of the services in question. You would need to check whether the amusement or party rentals in question have made any effort to provide pictorial evidence of what they offer. It would be wise to go for a rental company that has worked its way up and provides only what it offers.
After checking the photos, you would need to check whether there are any comments the customers have left behind. You would need to scan them and evaluate whether they speak positive about the services or not. It would be wise to be keen when checking on what the former clients have to say about the services offered by the rentals in question. However, it would be critical to remember that the best services tend to come with professionalism. You would need to go for amusement or party rentals with enough experience to offer you the best services. Even when the company has hired professionals, and have also checked on their experience in the entertainment sector, investing in enough equipment is critical. You would need to make sure that the company you go for offers diversified services and also check whether they offer your specific service.
You would need to be sure that the rentals in question offer unique inventory for all the services. It would be critical to check at the inventory just to be sure that what you need is covered by the company in question. The best companies tend to provide as much fun as possible. It would be wonderful to consider going for a company that focuses on providing as much as possible to their clients.
It would also be critical to go for a company that invest highly on the customer care services. From a good customer care department, you would get all the information you need from the company in question and get all the details about all you need. You would need to inquire more, learn more about the packages, and if possible, talk to a former client by the rentals in question.
