The Stations of the Cross - Teen/Young Adult edition
This version of the Stations of the Cross was written in March 2006 and dedicated to Happening! New York. My intention was to give this one a graphic edge that youth might relate to. I suggest using the simple Taize chant "Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom". If you use this piece, kindly include the attribution below.
Intro: The Stations of the Cross is a 'occasional' service which is used - especially during Lent - to get in touch with the sacrificial love of Jesus. The Stations represent different scenes of the passion of Christ - about the last five hours of His life. It's shocking and incredible to think that in the last 36 hours of His life Jesus packed in more action and emotion than we might accomplish in a lifetime. He: instituted Holy Communion during the Last Supper, ate and drank only once, was disrespected and sold out by one of His closest friends, was abandoned by all the rest of his friends and students, was arrested in public by a mob, was kicked, pushed and pulled all through the night walking back and forth between rival power players, was spit on, beaten to the point of shreaded skin and muscle, felt burning heat, sweat and pain, was ridiculed, was put down and disrespected by Jew and Roman alike.
his last mortal steps which we commemorate in the Stations of the Cross.
As we walk these Stations, let's keep our attention focused: He gave His life- we can give his final walk respect. We'll walk slowly in between each Station, stopping for the annoucement of each Station and the short reading that follows. In between each station we can sing the dedication: Holy God, Holy and Mighty, Holy Immortal One have mercy on us.
1. Jesus is condemned to death
He was arrested in the garden by a mob - all his friends deserted him. He was pushed from one power player to another, messing with His will and His mind. Finally Pilate gave in and allowed Jesus to continue to be tortured and finally killed - in public.
God, there are times when I am being punished for things that I have done against my parents or friends or neighbors. Jesus did nothing wrong and will be killed in a slow and painful way - nothing and no one can save Him.
2. Jesus takes up His cross
A cross - made up of two heavy planks from a tree - full of splinters is lifted by three
soldiers and dropped on His shoulders. He can barely stand up under the weight.
He has been through so much already - the beating, the spitting, being mocked, being abandoned by his closest friends. How can He stand under the weight of it all?
3. Jesus falls for the first time
The weight is too much. He's wiped out, thirsty, boiling hot. The cross seems heavier
with each step.
You know what you must do and you just keep on - you see a different goal before you.
with each step.
You know what you must do and you just keep on - you see a different goal before you.
4. Jesus meets His mother
He is caked with blood, sweat and dirt. The flies buzz around, landing on his cuts, in his ears. He finds it hard to been seen by His mom and to look into her eyes.
Some of us have a harder time getting along with our parents for many different reasons. Even 'though we may have a tough relationship we don't want them to be embarassed by who we are, what we are and what we do.
5. The cross is laid on Simon of Cyrene
The soldiers are getting impatient because Jesus isn't moving fast enough for them. They
just want this criminal to get up the hill so that they can nail him to the cross and go off duty.
Sometimes we are volunteered for things - we don't want to help, we don't care. It's only after we've done it that we recognize that helping someone else helps us.
6. A woman wipes the face of Jesus
A woman from Jerusalem steps out from the crowd, unseen by the guards, and wipes the face of Jesus. After he gets up and passes by she looks down at her veil and sees that His face
has left a perfect imprint!
Oh, Jesus - I can't even imagine the pain you are in - so much sweat and blood in your eyes that you can't see the pavement in front o you. Because of Veronica's kindness some of your pain is lifted and you could go on.
7. Jesus falls a second time
His knees are giving way; he keeps falling down on one knee or the other - and finally the cross slams down next to him.
How can you go on? How much pain can you stand? How can I be worth this much to You?
8. Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem
Here were women He had preached to, had taught. Now they walked along with Him
behind the baracades, trying not to make the guards angry.
Can I walk beside you? Can I risk being known as your disciple?
9. Jesus falls a third time
He can't continue to go on. His body is failing Him. The weight of the cross is too much to bear and he is flattened as it falls on top of Him.
Holy God there are times when we are so blown away by the pain of rejection and self doubt that we can't take another step. Help us to remember You've been there too....
10. Jesus is stripped
There are no more masks left, there is nothing to hide. Even his personal dignity is being
denied. Jesus' battered, torn, bloody, bruised body is fully exposed to the elements and to us.
All of my protection against exposure - of being completely known - is stripped in your presence, loving God. You see me for the person you made, not the person I can pretend to be. Yet even here - completely vulnerable - you love me your own: precious and beautiful.
11. Jesus is nailed to the cross
The pain is so unbearable, His death is very near.
Despite the agony, despite the shame, despite the loss You surrender Your life for my soul. It is so hard to comprehend this kind of unconditional love.
12. Jesus dies on the cross
He has done everything that was required of Him. He loved the world and the people in
it; He blesses God, forgives those who betrayed, arrested and executed Him. He takes one final breath..... and then lets all of what He is....... go.
Mortal death - darkness - comes to the Man who said 'I Am the Light, I Am the Life'. This is radical love, Jesus. You give it all and blame no one,You follow Your Father's instructions to the very end. Your faithfulness conquers evil for all time.
13. Jesus' body is given to Mary
His lifeless body is lowered into his mother's arms for the last time, appearing to be a
casualty in the war of Good vs. Evil.
Mary can see moments of the life she shared with Him flash before her eyes and can only cry in grief beyond words over the loss of her eldest son.
14. Jesus is laid in the tomb
It looks like the story is over. It looks like the enemy has won..... but looks can be deceiving.
No matter what it looks like on the outside, help me to see and do Your will. You will make the old new and the dead come to life again - whether it is my bruised feelings or my outlook on life or any temporary setbacks I have. Be my example and let my fears and my faith rest with You.

A man who allegedly stabbed a three-year-old girl to death at her own birthday party in a rampage that also wounded eight others will face the death penalty.
Timmy Kinner began attacking children and adults at the outdoor birthday party on June 30, after being asked to leave the Boise apartment complex the day before, according to police.
Ruya Kadir was stabbed with a large knife and died as other children scattered, some hiding in cupboards as adults at the Disney princess-themed party tried to protect them.
Not guilty pleas were entered on the homeless man's behalf after he was charged with first-degree murder and eight counts of aggravated battery.
Ada County Prosecutor Jan Bennetts said Kinner could be put to death if convicted.
"After careful consideration, we have concluded that pursuing the death penalty is appropriate in this case," Bennetts said in a statement.
Kinner's lawyers, from the Ada County Public Defender's Office, have refused to comment.
Police have said Kinner didn't know any of the victims, who were all refugees from Ethiopia, Syria and Iraq.
The attack is not being considered a hate crime.
Five of Ruya's young friends were also badly injured in the attack, along with three adults.
Police say Kinner had been asked to leave the apartment complex because of bad behaviour.
He was arrested shortly after the stabbing.
Investigators recovered the knife he was believed to have used in a nearby canal.

Trust accused of "ignoring" public opinion on Stroke Unit closure
The Southern Trust has been accused of completely ignoring the views of the public, elected representatives, Daisy Hill Hospital staff, stroke sufferers and their families in relation to the closure of the Stroke Unit at Daisy Hill.
In a statement issued by the Trust following a public meeting held in Bellini's on Thursday 26th February to discuss the issue, a Southern Trust spokesperson reiterated the Trust's position on the closure, insisting that the views of "public representatives, organisations that advocate for service users, partner organisations and staff from across the Trust" had been "carefully" listened to during a 20 week public consultation process regarding Trust stroke services.
The Trust concluded that "evidence clearly indicates that the development of a single specialist stroke inpatient unit within the Southern Trust at Craigavon Area Hospital will increase people's chances of surviving a stroke."
Local political representatives were united in their condemnation of the Trust's claims with
Sinn Féin MLA Mickey Brady commenting,
"This statement has been met with great dismay and sadness in the local community. The Trust, we believe, has completely ignored the strong views held by the public, elected representatives, staff and local Trade Unions against the proposal to close the vital Unit.."
Mr Brady said the proposals by the Trust to remove the specialist stroke inpatient Unit from Newry's local hospital "do not stack up" given that it is widely recognised that Daisy Hill has provided the best stroke service in Northern Ireland.
"This is evidenced by the fact that in 2011/2012 the average length of stay for stroke patients at Daisy Hill was 17 days whereas at Craigavon Hospital it was 47 days," said the Sinn Fein Newry and Armagh MLA.
"On value for money alone and provision of service, the Daisy Hill Unit delivers. The Trust should further invest in and develop the Stroke Unit in Daisy Hill which would result in the provision of increased rapid access to specialist investigation and treatment to all on a regional basis."
He added that feedback from families of stroke sufferers suggested that moving stroke services to Craigavon will be "extremely traumatic" for stroke patients "and make it unworkable for families to fully support their loved ones".
The Sinn Fein Westminster candidate said a "united cohesive campaign" was now essential to protect all services at Daisy Hill.
His sentiments were echoed by SDLP Newry and Armagh Westminster Representative Justin McNulty who described the response of the Trust reaffirming their decision to permanently relocate the Stroke Unit from Daisy Hill Hospital to Craigavon Area Hospital as "a huge blow to Newry and South Armagh and in particular to our stroke sufferers and their families."
As the public campaign continues to strongly lobby for the retention of the stroke unit, Mr McNulty said the Trust had "completely ignored the feelings of local people, local health professionals and local stroke sufferers and their families."
"At the very heart of this issue is our stroke sufferers and their families and we all want to ensure that they have access to the very best care and treatment," he added.
"I believe that highest standard of care and treatment should be available at Daisy Hill.
"Daisy Hill Hospital is an essential service for the people of Newry and south Armagh and I pledge to do all in power to secure essential services and specialist care in Daisy Hill in the future."
The socialist republican party, éirígí, accused the Stormont administration of "implementing Thatcher-like right-wing policies rather than creating an efficient health service available and accessible to all."
Eirigi spokesperson Stephen Murney said,
"The impeding removal of the award winning Stroke Unit in Daisy Hill must be stopped in its tracks. The campaign which has been launched to save the Daisy Hill Stroke Unit is to be welcomed and it is important that people in Newry and the surrounding areas throw their full support behind that campaign."

The domestic gooseberries in our yard are laden with fruit which should be ready to harvest about July Fourth. As I checked our "crop" I was reminded of wild gooseberry bushes that I recently saw (and photographed) along the Fish Lake Trail in Oregon.
The sierra gooseberry (Ribes roezlii) is a native shrub that grows in dry forests or on shady slopes in California, Nevada and Oregon. The solitary flowers with red to rose sepals and pink to white petals are beautiful. The five sepals are reflexed (bent back) and resemble petals. The five tiny petals curve inward lengthwise and resemble little pipes surrounding the five exserted (projecting outward) stamens that appear black in the pictures. A most interesting blossom!
The leaves are cleft into three toothed lobes. Long, stiff, sharp thorns occur on the branches. (I can attest to how sharp they are!) The beautiful red fruit is covered with spikes. If one can get beyond the spikes, the gooseberries are sweet and very palatable.
Gooseberries and currants belong to the same genus (Ribes). This is a large and varied genus with more than thirty species in the Western United States. Currants can easily be distinguished from gooseberries since gooseberry plants are armed (have thorns or spikes) while currants do not. All members of this genus are edible, but not all are palatable. Some Ribes are sweet and delicious while others have a terrible taste or odor. But none of the currants or gooseberries are toxic.
One way to eat sierra gooseberries is to cook them then strain the pulp through a fine mesh to remove the fruit spikes. The strained pulp can then be used for jellies, syrups or can even be thickened to make a pie. Truthfully, in my opinion, although they do taste sweet (Have you ever carefully peeled one berry?), I would just as soon leave sierra gooseberries to the bears and birds and eat some of the other delicious wild members of the gooseberry family that do not have spiked fruits.

2018 ICEX is supported by a team comprised of members from the Naval Ice Center (NIC), based in Suitland, Maryland, combined with a team from the U.K. Royal Navy Joint Operational and Meteorological Center (JOMOC) London and the U.K. Fleet Hydrographic and Meteorology Unit (FHMU), from Devonport, U.K. The combined ICEX weather team enhances the ability to study and forecast the weather and dynamic environmental changes.
Beginning in January, members from the NIC, University of Alaska Fairbanks, and Arctic Submarine Laboratory (ASL) began tracking multi-year ice floes in the Beaufort Sea to identify an optimal location to host the base camp for the exercise, known as Ice Camp Skate, according to Lt. Emily Motz, METOC officer and member of ICEX 2018 METOC team.
"We tracked a thick multi-year piece of ice because multi-year ice, in addition to being thicker than first-year ice, is going to be stronger because there is less salinity," said Motz. "What we've seen through years of academic research, is that multi-year ice surrounded by first-year ice helps to add strength to that piece of ice. It's more important to the ASL because first-year ice has a smoother surface to create aircraft runways."
Beneath the ice, NIC gives a product to the submarines, refined using high-resolution imagery and data collected by the METOC team operating in and around the ice floe to identify fractures, leads, and open-water so that submarines can safely navigate under and through the Arctic Ocean during the exercise.
Flight operations are vital to ASL and the success of ICEX because they provide the only means to transport personnel and cargo across the Beaufort Sea to maintain operability throughout the five-week exercise.
According to Lt. Jon Edmonds, Royal Navy METOC officer for the UK, the METOC team provides environmental data to best exploit the environment and make the best appropriate decisions to aid in planning and conducting operations.
"On-site imagery analysis, from the NIC analyst in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, provides aviators with current and forecasted positions of the drifting ice camp in the Arctic Ocean, while data collected from atmospheric pressure, temperature, and wind speed and direction are passed to pilots for conducting safe operations during poor visibility and extreme weather conditions," said Edmonds.
Environmental monitoring is a combined effort with the emphasis of learning and enhancing METOC capabilities to study and operate in the Arctic environment and test various forecasting equipment.
"We will have three different weather stations on the ice," said Edmonds. "The Royal Navy has a tactical meteorological system (TACMET) measuring atmospheric pressure, temperature, wind speed and direction, and visibility. The U.S. has a similar sensor that has all those features, but this year we are also testing a prototype compact sensor built for portability."
The team also uses a Tactical Atmospheric Sounding Kit to collect upper atmosphere soundings up to 40,000 feet, and this equipment provides the data for Norfolk Fleet Weather Center to increase the accuracy of their products.
With the growing range of Arctic challenges, and the inherent difficulty of conducting Arctic operations, members of the METOC team are provided with daily opportunities to read and learn about the environment in the Arctic to better understand environmental observations and its effects, and to assist in tactical exploitation of the weather.

7 Website Sidebar Elements that Serve a Purpose
By Seth Price
About Website Design
A real estate website's sidebar can serve a variety of functions. From aiding in navigation to displaying content, the opportunities are endless. That being said, it's important to think about what's relevant to your audience before you start filling your sidebar with widgets and images. As a general rule, if an element doesn't add value to your site or help engage visitors, it shouldn't be in your sidebar.
Without further ado, here are our seven sidebar elements that serve a purpose:
1. Quick search widget: A very functional feature that makes it easy for visitors to dive right into a search.
2. Recent listings: Did somebody say eye candy? Highlighting recent listings in your sidebar can help entice your visitors to engage.
3. Featured blog posts: Putting your best blog posts on display in your sidebar can help you position yourself as a trusted resource.
4. Contact form: Never miss an opportunity to have your site's visitors reach out. Put a simple contact form in your sidebar and prompt visitors to send you a message if they have any questions.
5. Testimonials: By including testimonials from satisfied customers in your sidebar, you're letting visitors know that you have experience. This social proof can go a long way in developing trust amongst your visitors.
6. Contact info: Your contact info should always be easy to find, regardless of where your visitors are on your site. Put it at the top of the page (in your header), at the bottom of your page (in your footer), and in the middle of the page (in your sidebar).
7. Social media widgets: Displaying the number of Facebook "likes" you have and/or recent tweets from your Twitter stream in your sidebar shows your visitors that you have an active presence on social media. Like testimonials, these widgets can help instill trust.

Demystifying Property Owning Democracy (POD)
On the penultimate day of the month of October, on Radio Gold, Kwesi Pratt Jnr. discredited and heaped scorn on the concept of property owning democracy (POD). According to Mr. Pratt, this political philosophy is so alien and bad to the extent that it should be rejected. My worry about his pronouncements is that in his malicious quest to discredit this concept, it was obvious that he doesn't understand the meaning of a property owning democracy or he was only trying to be mischievous or populist. His equation of a property owning democracy to mean the wanton grabbing of property—especially State ones was not only mischievous, but also a blatant exposition of his ignorance of the concept.
In history, especially philosophical history, it is established that the only person who had a very good knowledge in almost every discipline was Aristotle. This is an undisputable fact; but Kwesi Pratt is trying to wrestle this accolade from him. He talks about everything when the arguments he is espousing are spurious. Our brother Pratt should allow objectivity to be paramount in his submissions. A property owning democracy—like any ideology should not be expected to be flawless; we expose our ignorance when we assume that. Let us examine its cardinal principles to unearth its efficacy before we throw it to the dogs like Mr. Pratt and others are seeking to achieve.
Before looking at what a property owning democracy is, let us first look at what it is not. A property owning democracy is not the insatiable desire for property by politicians or public office holders to satisfy their egoistic desires as people like Mr. Pratt always insinuate. The penchant for political and public office holders to use unfair means to grab or acquire State property—lands, houses, etc. is not and cannot be a tenet of a property owning democracy. This practice explained above could best be described as sheer wickedness and insensitivity to the plight of the ordinary folks and should be discouraged. It defeats the very essence of democracy.
What Mr. Pratt fails to appreciate is that in this day and age no single economic regime will ever succeed. They never succeeded in the prior century and will never survive now. I think Mr. Pratt—a socialist apologia should come out and tell us the evidence of the invincibility of his ideological inclination. Socialism is dead and buried; In fact, it is dead in water. It can only work when used in tandem with capitalism or a property owning democratic regime. If the Chinese had stuck or held on to only communism, they wouldn't have been able to make inroads in this 21st century in terms of economic progress. Capitalism, even though, had had its challenges—especially in the 1930s (the great depression) and the 2008 global economic meltdown, has been able to stand the test of time.
What then is a property owning democracy? A property owning democracy is hinged on the political philosophy of John Rawls, a 20th century political philosopher. In his work, Rawls sought to develop a concept of justice that is relevant to a democratic society. His conception of justice hinges on two principal principles: (1) certain basic liberties, such as freedom of thought and association, are so important that they transcend other social values such as economic efficiency and improving the welfare of the poor; (2) offices and positions of authority are to be open to all under conditions of equality of opportunity.
From the above it is clear that Rawls condemns a welfare-state capitalism and illustrates a property owning democracy and a liberal socialism as economic regimes consistent with his justice as fairness. The main tenets of his property-owning democracy are as follows: (1) provisions for securing the fair value of the political liberties; (2) provisions for realizing fair equality of opportunity in education and training; (3) A basic level of health-care provided for all.
From the cardinal principles of a property owning democracy shown above, how could it be ill-intentioned? Why could it be counter-productive, Mr. Pratt? In my candid opinion, successive governments should pursue this political/economic philosophy in their attempts to improving the fortunes of this country and the citizenry. So I believe we now appreciate the fact that a property owning democracy has been misconceived by many a people in the country who try to do politics with anything without looking at the merits. Anyhow, who doesn't want to own a property when given the opportunity? I'm not talking about dubious means, but rather by the dint of hard work.
A property owning democracy is about the folks. It is about creating an enabling environment—efficient health-care system, an efficient education system, fair opportunities in order to release the energies and efforts of the citizens in realizing their potentialities in owning property. Property in this context should not be misconstrued to mean only tangible properties; the acquisition of knowledge, skill, and ability are a property of the individual. Margaret Thatcher, the former British premier explained the concept better during her interview with the Times Magazine "….. As you know, we are building a property-owning democracy. Far more people own their own homes now. We are nearly up to the United States—not yet quite—but now one in five of our people owns company shares. Far many more people have savings accounts. That's all extending opportunity ever more widely" (Times, 1987).
This revelation by Margaret Thatcher had been observed earlier by J. B. Danquah as captured in the New Patriotic Party's constitution of 2009. He stated that "the party's policy is to liberate the energies of the people for the growth of a property owning democracy in this land, with the right to life, freedom and justice, as the principle to which the government and laws of the land should be dedicated in order specifically to enrich life, property and liberty of each and every citizen." What then is wrong about the concept of POD? If anything at all, its intent is to produce a strong and stable economy, with a vibrant citizenry: a citizenry that can take their own destinies in their own hands and change the course of their life trajectories. This economic regime, I endorse and hope it becomes the fulcrum of our socioeconomic transformation.
Every modern industrial state is a welfare state and none of them permits natural or social contingencies in their entireties to determine the life opportunities of its members. All of them have interventions whose overt aim is to protect adults and children from the degradation and insecurity of ignorance, illness, disability, unemployment, and poverty (Gutmann, 1988). In this regard, Rawls's property-owning democracy could in a way be seen as a welfare state, even if not as a welfare state capitalism rooted in the utilitarianism. We can see evidence of its impact during the reign of the New Patriotic party. The school feeding program, the capitation grant, free maternal health care, the National Health Insurance Scheme, the Metro Mass Transport, the change of the educational system, especially making kindergarten education mandatory, the Getfund, the proliferation of banks, the competition among the telecommunication industry and the media, among others are the interventions that are the results of a property owning democracy.
When Mr. Pratt was accused sometime this year or last year by Alhaji Bature for living in affluence and owning cars and a house, he gave reasons why he has those cars, but denied owning a house; although he admitted that the wife owns one. For me, that is fantastic! Strangely, he said that the wife was able to build the house via loans from the bank; and he doesn't believe that that was made possible via property owning democracy. The essence of POD is to help people like Mr. Pratt's wife and numerous others to own their own property and to see the better side of life as long as they are capable: given the opportunity to nurture and utilize their efforts and energies in productive ways. In Ghana at the moment, most people own property—houses, companies, lands, schools, institutions, shares, intellectual property, and what have you. And this is a sure testament of a property owning democracy. I can't wait to own a legitimate property through my sweat, made possible by POD. God bless Ghana!!

How on earth are we halfway through 2016 already, it seems like no time since I was writing my 2015 favourites. So we are back round to my monthly favourites in the blink of an eye, its insane really. Speaking of favourites if you would like to see my top 5 palettes which I did earlier this month, check it out here.
So we start off with something I was not necessarily sure about when I initially purchased it, the Maybelline New York Color Show Blush Em! The colour pay off wasn't what I wanted but actually when I gave it a second chance by putting it in my makeup bag to force me to retry it I found myself in love with it. This blush gives me a super pretty, subtle flush of the cheek and it is perfect in the summer.
Although the English weather has been pretty variable this month I have been trying to get into the summer spirit with lighter more dewy makeup, many of these can be seen in my "What's in My Makeup Bag". There is one product though which I feel though never gets enough praise the Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer, it's a perfect brightening under eye concealer and I always repurchase it.
I'm definitely on a pretty pink thing and I attempt to embrace summer and for the past two weeks I've been intensely in love with these two items. I have loved creating a subtle pastel pink look with the Kiko Milano Water Eyeshadow in 201 Rosy Taupe and building it up with the Pixi by Petra Mesmerising Minerals Palette in Plum Quartz. I love creating a pretty pink look that is summery, delicate and natural.
Finally a more summary lip option, I'm finally back into light and glossy summery lips so I have two lip glosses I have been reaching for this month the Calvin Klien Ultimate Edge Lip Glosses in Shades of Pink and Bubble Gum. I am loving a simple no effort gloss, bubble gum is simply a gloss so I can add it to whatever I am wearing or just rock the subtle all natural gloss and glowing look. Shades of Pink however, it a deeper pink which is nice as it add a touch of colour but isn't overly powerful making it more of a pretty in pink look. I keep these in my bag and it's so easy to touch up over the course of the day.
So those are my June favourites, what have you been loving this month let me know in the comments.

How to Trim a Hinoki Cypress
Hinoki cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) is an evergreen conifer native to Japan that grows in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 though 8. Also known as Hinoki false cypress and Japanese cypress, the tree soars to over 120 feet tall in its native habitat but stops at about 50 feet in cultivation. Hinoki cypress has soft, rust-colored bark, drooping branches and leaves like small scales. Most gardeners opt for one of the hundreds of dwarf cultivars to limit size and select foliage color. For example, "Nana Gracilis" gets no taller than 10 feet. Although Hinoki cypress tolerates pruning, snip with utmost care, since conifers do not replace growth quickly.
Prune Hinoki cypress in late spring or early summer, when the tree is experiencing new growth and can heal from the snipping wounds.
Prune to shape the tree or for size control, but very lightly. Snip only new growth, those young stems that are green and flexible. Make the cuts just above a lateral branch. Do not prune into the brown aged stems, because they will not grow back, as Hinoki cypress does not form new buds on old wood.
Prune Hinoki cypress to keep it healthy. Remove dead and diseased branches as close to the trunk as possible. Prune forking vertical branches to a single branch to prevent breakage in high winds. Trim branches that cross one another to prevent rubbing wounds.
Remove branches that suffer from a poor attachment angle, called a narrow crotch. Excess bark builds in the crotch angle, limiting the amount of wood that holds the branch to the trunk. In time, the branch weakens and can fall, injuring the tree.
Things Needed
- Pruning shears
- Do not try to rehabilitate a Hinoki cypress by severe pruning. Although many deciduous trees will resprout if pruned to the the base, most conifers will not.
- Hinoki cypress and its cultivars serve well as specimen trees and also work in hedges, screens and windbreaks. Gardeners use the dwarf cultivars in rock and alpine gardens.

« Puerto Rico's Former Education Secretary Arrested on Fraud Charges | Main | The American Federation of Teachers Is Suing Betsy DeVos Over Loan Forgiveness »
Education Department Boasts About Faster Resolution of Civil Rights Cases
On average, the U.S. Department of Education has resolved about twice as many civil rights cases per year under the Trump administration as it did under the Obama administration, the agency said in a news release Wednesday.
U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has praised her department's efforts to more quickly resolve civil rights complaints. But critics say the agency has focused on closing cases at the expense of meaningful protections for vulnerable students.
"While many have tried to distort the nature of our approach, the numbers don't lie," DeVos said in a statement. "Our approach has been more effective at supporting students and delivering meaningful results."
The agency has also seen an uptick in the number of complaints it resolved that required corrective actions from schools, the data say. That includes a 30 percent increase in Title VI resolutions of cases about race or national origin that required corrective action; a 60 percent increase in disability-related resolutions requiring corrective action; and an 80 percent increase in Title IX sex discrimination resolutions requiring such actions.
The data don't say whether those corrective actions were as broad as those under the Obama administration, or more narrowly tailored to the inidividual student who filed the complaint.
"In FY 2017 and 2018, [the office for civil rights] resolved, on average, 3,297 more complaints annually than it received," the education department said in a news release. "The eight fiscal years prior, [the office] resolved, on average, 1,262 fewer complaints than it received, which resulted in the current administration inheriting more than 7,800 unresolved cases
Among the biggest changes the office for civil rights has made during DeVos's tenure: revisions to a manual for investigators that direct them not to consider each student complaint for evidence of broader discrimination. That's the reversal of an Obama administration practice, in which the agency would consistently look at several years of data to look for systemic issues. Under the Trump administration's approach, investigators instead look for evidence of broader discrimination "only where it is appropriate to do so in light of the allegations or based on facts ascertained in the investigation."
The Trump education department also implemented a "rapid resolution process" and "facilitated resolution process" designed to help complainants and school districts or colleges resolve their issues quickly, with an assist from the agency. And it briefly got rid of, and later reinstated, language that called for investigators to dismiss multiple complaints originating from the same source.
The department saw a surge of civil rights complaints under President Barack Obama. Officials attributed this increase in part to highly public efforts to combat sexual assault and harassment under Title IX, as well as the issuance of new guidance related to racial equity in school discipline and the rights of transgender students.
DeVos revoked both those pieces of guidance, a move that was met with concern from civil rights groups and praise from conservative organizations who had deemed the Obama directives federal overreach.

Everyone has an ideal body goal in their mind. However, even for those who work out regularly, many still have concerns with stubborn fats, most commonly the love handles, butterfly wings, thunder thighs, and bulging tummy.
There are many ways to lose those unwanted fats including treatments and procedures such as liposuction being one of the widely known procedures to many. However, for the busy urbanites, a treatment that has little to no downtime and hassle-free of inconvenience associated with surgery, is highly preferred.
The 4F Fat Freeze Fat Flush at REvive Aesthetics is a needleless non-invasive treatment that comes in handy for those who wish to shed those extra bulges effectively with no downtime.
Do you know that fat cells freeze more quickly than skin cells? Fats are more temperature-sensitive and go through the cell death process before the skin does.
Combining state-of-the-art technologies, REvive Aesthetics created the bespoke 4F Fat Freeze Fat Flush that helps eliminate unwanted fats and reshapes the body.
This innovative fat-freezing procedure is highly effective with minimal pain and flushes out the fats out of the body instantly. Designed to destroy fat cells, the thermoelectric cooling is regulated to be cold enough to freeze and kill fats at the targeted area, but not cold enough to harm the surrounding tissues.
The fat-freezing applicator uses a gentle suction to draw in the troubled area, it then targets the fat deposits and freezes them down in a controlled manner over a period, leading to the destruction of the fat cells. A special gel pad is placed over the treatment area to avoid skin damage during the treatment process. The pulsating suction during treatment boosts the positive effect on lymphatic drainage and metabolism as the dead fat cells are removed naturally through the lymphatic system after five to six days.
A single session of one targeted area lasts for 60 minutes and an additional 30 minutes of massage is done to stabilize and further increase the lymphatic drainage and metabolism for the fats to be flushed out at a faster rate.
Banish those stubborn fats for good with 4F Fat Freeze Fat Flush, the permanent fat reduction technology that eliminates unwanted fats and redefines the body with excellent visible results.
Duration: 90 minutes per area
Target Areas: Love handles, thighs, arms, belly, and back
Cost: S$160 per area (ala-carte)
Current Promotion per area for 1st time customers (Valid till May 2018)
S$58 for 1 session, S$110 for 2 sessions, $160 for 3 sessions

Over the past few days, Net Politics has been examining the top five developments in cyber policy of 2014. Each cyber policy event has its own post, explaining what happened, what it all means, and its impact on cyber policy for 2015. In the final post of this series, the Sony hack.
In the cyber world, 2014 ended with a bang. What was initially thought to be some mischievous hackers breaking into Sony Pictures Entertainment's networks for the "lulz" evolved to a fully fledged diplomatic incident, in which the the White House publicly attributed the intrusion to North Korea, characterized the incident as a "serious national security matter," and promised a proportional response.
First, a timeline and the facts. It all began on November 24 when a Reddit user asserted that Sony's networks had been breached by a group calling itself Guardians of Peace (GOP). A few days later, NBC News reports that the FBI is investigating the intrusion and raised the possibility that North Korea was involved given that it had previously expressed outrage over Sony's movie "The Interview," which depicts the assassination of Kim Jong-Un.
On December 8, the GOP, in a message accompanying the release of internal Sony documents on Pastebin, demands that Sony not release The Interview. Later, the group threatens "9/11 type attacks" if the movie is shown. The threat prompts major U.S. movie outlets to refuse show the movie and Sony shortly halts its release.
On December 17, the New York Times reports that senior administration officials have concluded that North Korea was "centrally involved" in the Sony incident. Two days later, the FBI issues a press release that concludes that the "North Korean government is responsible" for the intrusion into Sony's networks, as well as the destruction of some of its data and hardware. President Obama, in his end-of-year news conference, promises a proportional response to the hack and criticizes Sony for pulling the film, which reverses its decision and releases it in select theaters and online. In an interview with CNN a few days later, President Obama says he doesn't consider the hacking of Sony "an act of war" but rather "an act of cybervandalism." Senator John McCain rejects the characterization; "It's more than vandalism. It's a new form of warfare."
Perhaps coincidentally, North Korea disappears from the Internet days after Obama's press conference. The State Department refuses to comment on the disappearance, but Marie Harf, a State Department spokeswoman, tells reporters, "Some [responses] will be seen. Some may not be seen." The United States also reportedly asks the Chinese government for help with North Korea, but public statements from Beijing are noncommittal. On January 2, 2015, the United States levies sanctions on North Korea and cites the action as one element of its proportional response.
Many cybersecurity experts have expressed doubt that North Korea was indeed behind the hack. Marc Rogers, the head of security at DefCon, the annual computer security conference, claims that a Sony insider such as a disgruntled employee is more likely to have caused the damage given the hackers' extensive knowledge of Sony's networks. The cyber intelligence company Norse briefed the FBI on evidence they say points to collusion between an unhappy insider and a hacker group. What is clear is that the United States intelligence community has access to information that they're not disclosing, allowing them to draw conclusions based on classified information. The FBI's statement, for example, refers to "sensitive sources and methods." This has led to some criticism of the intelligence community's "just trust us" approach, which has failed them in the past.
The Sony hack highlights how, even after years of discussion, most of the fundamental policy and operational issues for cybersecurity policy remain unanswered. When does a cyberattack rise to the level of an armed attack? Must it cause death and destruction, or is it enough to destroy data, degrade systems, and intimidate? When should the government be involved in defending the private sector? Only when the attacks are directed at critical infrastructure? When they steal advanced technology and threaten economic security? Should the United States government respond because the Sony hackers damaged approximately two thirds of the studio's computers and servers or because the attack limited free speech? Can you deter a cyberattack? What is a proportional response to a cyberattack? Fines and sanctions? Knocking North Korea offline? The list of uncertainties and ambiguities goes on.
The hack will be a catalyst for congressional hearings, but they are unlikely to generate enough momentum and political will to break the logjam over information sharing and industry regulatory standards that have bedeviled the debate over cybersecurity policy (and it is not clear better information sharing would not have made much of a difference in the Sony hack). The Obama administration will double down on its efforts to develop international norms of cyberspace, talking with friends and others about what constitutes an attack and how states can respond. The United States has recently been pushing for three norms:
- states should not conduct cyber operations that damage critical infrastructure;
- states should not conduct operations that prevent Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) from operating; and
- states should coordinate with others requesting help with attacks.
None of these describe what happened with Sony, but they are a start.

"Digital Spirit" AR Workshop
Start Date: 25 Aug 2018 — End Date: 2 Sep 2018
Over the period of ten days, selected participants will be able to expand their knowledge of trigger based Augmented Reality in a series of workshops with Kim Chulu Amina, Rick Treweek, and Gareth Steele while exploring our city – Joburg. See call for participation here (expires on the 18th Aug. 2018).
The workshop comes out of the exhibition collaboration between Wits Art Museum's Digital Imaginaries: Premonition exhibition and Fak'ugesi African Digital Innovation Festival. This workshop will run alongside an exhibition at Wits Art Museum, part of which showcases the work that was developed in the first and much shorter workshop at the Dakar Biennale in May, 2018. The outcomes of this Johannesburg workshop will be shortlisted to show at the ZKM in Germany in October as part of the Digital Imaginaries project.
The aim of the workshop, outside of learning augmented reality, is to explore as a theme the intersection of urban, spiritual and digital spaces in Johannesburg; the "Digital Spirit" of Johannesburg. This may explored by natural or unnatural time; through people and how they are connected; or the types of data produced and used in and about Johannesburg. What is your understanding of the "Digital Spirit" of Jozi?
This workshop is supported by funding from German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (GIZ).
Digital Imaginaries is a joined project of Kër Thiossane and Afropixel Festival in Dakar, Wits Art Museum and Fak'ugesi African Digital Innovation Festival in Johannesburg, and ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, funded by the TURN fund of the German Federal Cultural Foundation (Kulturstiftung des Bundes). The workshop series Competences and Visions for the Digitization of Africa in Dakar and Johannesburg is financed by the GIZ commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.

Star Trek Discovery: 1.08 Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum
Good sci-fi is all about exploring some aspect of the human condition through means or a scenario which otherwise doesn't exist. This week's Star Trek: Discovery featured a story about one thing but was really about another. Opening with the failure of a rescue mission by the Discovery, to really hammer home the consequence of their failure to bring the war to an end, we found out that Michael Burnham, Ash Tyler and Saru had already embarked on an away mission to the mysterious planet Pahvo. On this otherwise undeveloped world, all life emitted some kind of interconnected bio-field that resonated through a naturally occurring crystalline structure, that Starfleet thought they might use as a way of detecting cloaked Klingon ships.
In true Star Trek fashion however, the bio-field had some sort of consciousness and revealed itself to be a new form of life. This however wasn't a first contact story, but a story on the themes of violence vs pacifism, as hinted at the episode's title which translates to 'If you want peace, prepare for war'. Up until now Saru, with his heightened sense of awareness of impending danger due to how life evolved on his world, had been the walking definition of a pacifist, or if you wanted to be cruel, his over-cautiousness could be construed as cowardice. Due to the effects of the bio-field overloading his sensory inputs, he was overcome with the intoxicating freedom from the sensation of fear, giving us a neat sci-fi means by which to drive the plot forward.
Seemingly gone mad at the prospect of living free of fear, Saru conspired to trap the away team on Pahvo, isolating them from the war. Thankfully Michael and Tyler, who shared a brief kiss but were never really allowed to develop their relationship further, were wise to Saru's intentions and managed to utilise the crystalline structure to signal the Discovery to pick them up. Once free of the planet and its influence Saru would surely return to normal and resume his duties as First Officer. But what the episode was really about, was the story of a pacifist finding a little pocket of safety amidst a war and falling a little too much in love with it; ignoring the truth that in reality, there can be no such thing as a true and complete pacifist. Eventually you have to stand and fight.
This episode really showcased Doug Jones' acting ability, even behind all those prosthetics, as well as some of Saru's physical prowess which up until this point we weren't aware of. It seems Kelpians, even the prey branch of their evolutionary line, are a hell of a lot stronger and faster than humans. Hopefully having grown from his experience on Pahvo, we might see Saru cut loose. I even dare say he could easily have a Klingon in a fight if he really wanted. Perhaps it's time the prey became the predator?
Whilst I enjoyed the main story, the subplot revolving around the captured Admiral Cornwell and L'rell felt like a complete misfire to me. Offering her services as an interrogator to General Kol so as to get information on Starfleet operations from the admiral, L'rell instead turned the second any Klingon was out of earshot, telling the admiral she would help her escape in exchange for facilitating her defection.
I spent the entire episode convinced that L'rell was pulling some scheme, that she was just going to betray the admiral due to all previous examples of her duplicitousness; when the admiral died, killed during their fumbled escape attempt, it didn't even register with me that it was an actual death I had witnessed, so much did I believe that it was all part of L'rell's twisted plan. But no, this whole sub-plot played out very straight forward. So much so that, when they did put a twist on it right at the very end, it didn't feel right or earned at all. Turned out Kol was wise to L'rell's flexible loyalties and had her locked up after all? What are they doing with these Klingon characters?
The episode felt oddly paced, which suddenly made sense in the final minutes of the episode as it was revealed to be the first of a two-parter. Misunderstanding Starfleet's desire to end the war, the Pahvo lifeforms augmented the signal from their world to call the Klingons to to the planet in a misguided attempt to promote harmony being the two races. This sets up for a battle which will presumably be the bulk of next week's episode. I couldn't help but feel that if they had just advertised this as a the first half of the larger story, the episode would have sat better, but oh well.
One little tidbit in this week episode that I loved; Aboard the Discovery, after unplugging from the spore drive, a disoriented Stamets referred to Tilly as Captain and questioned why she was engineering. They largely glossed over it, but surely this is proof Stamets can and will see into the future, a future where my beloved Tilly made it as a Starship Captain. Hopefully that's something they explore In the near future.
His perception of time already helped in one tactical situation, maybe it can again. But the implications of knowing things that are yet to be, mean that Stamets might actually spoil or put an interesting spin on a few of the surprises this show still has up its sleeve, depending on your point of view. Without going into detail there's something been set up, that it turns out to be true, is something that Stamets could very easily 'spoil'. We'll have to wait and see.

I really debated about whether to purchase a dynatrap or not because of the price and the area coverage we would need. In doing a little research I also learned that people have had luck with using a mosquito attractant inside the trap. This thing is AWESOME! We are on about an acre and a quarter surrounded by woods. This spring it was a nightmare going outside, no matter the time of day. Talk about getting attacked, there was a point I really feared I'd see one of the kids getting carried off by a swarm of mosquitoes. Lucky for them I bought the dynatrap and saved their lives. Seriously though, we saw improvement within days of having this thing out. The amount of mosquitoes and moths in the trap was absolutely unreal. We keep it hanging about 20 feet from the house. I've seen a few wasps in it but no bees. Our neighbors don't have one and we're nearly eaten alive when we go to their house. Not at our house though!
This trap has been catching a lot of mosquitos and moths. Leave it plugged in all the time and your trap starts filling. I personally love to reduce the mosquito population. I had an issue with my first one where the fan motor stopped working after 2 days. I called the company and once they confirmed that the light was on and the fan was off, they immediately shipped a new unit to me at no charge. My second unit is working perfectly for over a month now.
This really works! We put it up in our yard and have noticed a significant drop in the mosquito population. Last year, we couldn't sit outside in the yard starting in May due to the mosquitos. But so far this year, I haven't gotten a single bite. So glad we got this!
I am happy with the product it is easy to maintain
