Today they successfully tested their bread recipe, filling the school with a delicious aroma. Look out for dates for The Lunch Bunch on tour when they will be 'popping up' in Stawell, Bawdrip and Moorlinch.
On Wednesday 27th June, KS4 and 6th Form students partied the night away at the Leavers' Prom, this year to a film and film awards theme. Student's arrived to a fizzy reception, in their prom outfits, in cars, on motorbikes, in a tractor, in a lorry and in a 'princess horse drawn carriage'. Students enjoyed an evening of food and dance, with a buffet, ice cream bar, photo booth and disco. Showing their best moves on the dance floor and poses in the photo booth. Students got glittered and sparkled so that they were disco ready before DJ Greg Mason spun his best tunes and kept the dance floor full all night long! A big thank you to Bob Burns (Burns the Bread bakery) for kindly donating a delicious buffet and to Brookside School for donating the use of their fabulous marque - Prom's never had such a glamorous location. Also, many thanks to Selworthy School who at the last minute delivered us air conditioning units - so that everyone could dance all night with out their glitter running!
On Wednesday 20th June, we were thrilled to invite Brue Boys Choir back for another exciting performance. We all enjoyed their singing and thanked them for their kind donation which we used towards our whole school 'Lions of Zululand' day. Here are just a few of the many positive feedback comments from the visit. 'It was emotional – different voices made me engaged and focused'. 'Kind to take time out of their busy day'. 'Good singing, it was good to interact with them'. 'I liked the singing, it sounded like lions'. 'I loved it'.
Avalon School in Street started an art enterprise group on a Friday lunch time lead by Laura McCathie, which has had unexpected results. The work the students produced was so outstanding staff began commissioning them to produce artwork for them; it soon became clear that they could not keep up with demand. As a result, the school is having prints made in a range of sizes from Limited Edition canvasses to post card size prints, which can be purchased framed or unframed. It is now branching out to produce mugs, cards and soon tote bags, all printed with the art work.
Somerset Environmental Youth Award Winner!!!
On Friday 1st June some Key Stage 3 pupils were VIP guests at the Bath and West Show to collect Somerset's Environment Youth Award. Pupils accepted the award on behalf of the school for their contribution to local environmental projects and their conservation work on site, the video beneath highlights just a few of the projects pupils have worked on over the last year. The school was awarded a certificate, a hedgehog shaped trophy and prize money of £250, to be spend on conservation and environmental work. Well Done everyone at Avalon for this prestigious achievement! Following the awards ceremony pupils were able to enjoy the attractions at the Bath and West Show, from seeing and stroking a range of young farm animals [the goats and lambs were a favourite] to going inside fire engines and on police motorbikes.
On Wednesday 16th May, 6th Form students helped Angela (PFSA) to run a parent coffee morning in Sixth Form flat. The students greeted and served refreshments to parents, demonstrating communication, maths and life skills.
On Wednesday 9th May, the 'Lions of Zululand' visited Avalon school as part of their UK tour. The 'Lions of Zululand' arrived from KwaZulu Natal, South Africa for their 13th annual UK tour in April and will be performing in schools nationally every day until the end of July. We are extremely grateful to 'Happy Days' charity and the local 'Brue Boys' choir who have kindly provided funding to enable Avalon students to access this unique, musical experience. The day began with Zulu musicians bursting into our school hall wearing traditional Zulu costume and performing an impressive show to our students. Throughout the day, the whole school participated in a carousel of workshops including; singing, dancing, drawing and painting artefacts and exploring the Zulu culture and language. We ended the day inviting parents to join us in the hall for a celebratory performance of the song and dance we had all been learning throughout the day. Avalon staff, students and parents have clearly been moved by this magical experience: 'A student moved closer to the performers at one point to see better'. 'A student did a 'high five' with one of the performers'. 'It was inspiring and uplifting' (student). 'I enjoyed the dancing and singing. The show was brilliant'! (student). 'It's the best thing I've ever seen in a school'. 'I honestly don't think I've seen anything as exciting as the group performance at the end with the parents joining in as well. There was a real sense of unity. I think the pupils will remember it for a long time'. 'That was so energising and inspirational'. 'It was great to see the whole school involved'. 'A student sat at the very front, dancing in her seat, laughing and joining in. Even when the musicians were really loud with the drumming, she was able to calmly put her ear defenders on and stay in her seat'. 'Students were laughing and smiling, very obviously enjoying all the music and dancing'. 'The Lions of Zululand did not stop singing from the time they got off the bus until they left. Their enthusiasm in working with our students really shone through and bought out a huge amount of exuberance from Avalon. The best music day experience I have seen during my time working at Avalon'.
This term, Sixth Form students have returned to Red Brick Building to continue volunteering with Jean Rees students. They have been working hard to improve the garden areas and creating and planting new garden beds. Students have also been maintaining existing planted areas; weeding and re-potting plants. Avalon students have enjoyed working collaboratively with Jean Rees students to support their local community.
On Thursday 10th May, some of our Sixth Form students demonstrated their food safety and catering skills, serving hot drinks and refreshments to visitors attending a meeting at Avalon School.
On Wednesday 25th – Friday 27th April, some students from KS3, KS4 and Sixth Form went on camp to Kilve Court. Students had a fantastic time participating in a range of activities including; climbing wall, beach visit, circus skills, sensory trail, night walk, shelter building, abseiling, crate stacking, archery, Tropiquaria visit and disco. Avalon staff were very proud of how well the students coped with the physical challenges and soggy weather! A big thank you to all the staff who supported this residential visit. 'I liked going to Kilve Court. I haven't been before. I enjoyed archery because I got a bullseye'. 'I liked archery. I've done it before. I was dancing at the disco. I had fun'.

On Thursday 12th April, Sixth Form ran a pop up café at Avalon School for visitors. Students displayed excellent cutting skills preparing vegetable soup, laying the table and serving the meal.
Our race to raise the final funds needed to build a community hydrotherapy pool features as the leading story in today's edition of the Central Gazette. It highlights our push to raise the final £247,000 funds needed to build the facility and the enterprising ways our pupils are helping, including creating original artwork and prints now on sale to the public. Our aim is for the community in mid Somerset to have access to the facility so that as many people as possible can benefit. Friends of Avalon PTA, our fundraising charity continues to seek donations from residents and businesses to make the dream a reality. Donations can be accepted through the school or via www.givey.com/friendsofavalonpta Click on the 'Read More' link below for the full story as featured in the Central Gazette.
Today Sixth Form students used their food preparation skills to produce a cold buffet lunch for visitors attending a meeting at our school. The students worked hard to prepare a range of sandwiches and snacks for our visitors.
Thank you to all who have voted for the Hydrotherapy Pool appeal in Glastonbury Tesco during January and February. We are thrilled to announce that our project came second in the public vote and has been awarded £2000 from Tesco towards our appeal. Brilliant News!
Pupils took part in World Water Day on Thursday 22nd March. 4EM looked at the difference between clean and dirty water. They realised how lucky we are to be able to get clean water from a tap, when people in other countries like Africa have to walk for miles just to collect water that is dirty. 3H thought about what it would be like to carry water on their heads for miles and 3G learnt about the Simango school in Zambia, where pupils had to walk to a snake-infested river to wash and drink until WaterAid paid for a borehole and water pump for the village. In assembly at the end of the day, 4EM shared their work about clean and dirty water and twenty pupils tried the pipeline challenge, attempting to transfer the water from one container to another by pouring it along a long line without spilling a drop. We didn't quite manage it and it made us realise how hard it would be to have to carry our water, rather than getting it from a tap! All pupils have been taking part over the last five weeks in our Walking Challenge for WaterAid. The grand total of steps completed by the whole school was a fantastic 818, 489! This is equivalent to 102 water trips made by a woman or child in Africa who does not have a well in their village. Thank you to those of you who have already sponsored your child for the walking challenge – there is still time to do so, by returning the sponsor form via the home-school book.
Sixth Form served hot drinks and refreshments to parents during a parent coffee morning at Avalon School. Students enjoyed asking the parents for feedback about our service.
Today Sixth Form ran another successful 'pop up café' in the community, serving hot drinks and refreshments to clients at Southlawns care home.
On Friday James Heappey, MP for the Wells constituency, visited Avalon. 4L grilled James with questions about being an MP, uncovering parliamentary secrets, such as why the seats are different colours in parliaments houses to how much free time James gets - not a lot, they found out that MPs have to work long hours! 4L then presented information about the Friends of Avalon hydrotherapy pool appeal. They had prepared a PowerPoint presentation to share with James and answered all his questions about how they have raised money so far. Everyone enjoyed James's visit to the school and were grateful for his support! Thanks James - look forward to you visiting us again soon!!


The kiddos spent the days leading up to the household goods pack-out playing with toys that they probably will not see for a couple months.
EJ beaded her "elephant" and held a circus show for us all.
CJ went right to his trains and built a train track.
Their imaginations were at work as they moved around the room.
They got to pick out a couple of their favorites to bring with them on the trip. EJ chose her Jesse dolls and CJ brought his planes.
It will be Christmas all over again when the toys are finally delivered in Japan!

Went to the Aquarium of the Pacific over the weekend with the family. My wife got the tickets for free at her employee health fair. Still paid for parking though but that wasn't bad considering we saved $74.00!
I know that everyone tends to shoot the jellyfish but I couldn't help it. When the light from the aquarium hit them in a particular way they looked as if they were glowing, so surreal, so otherworldly!

Q: Sequence of operators in $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ I am trying to solve the following exercise:
In the space $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ define a sequence of operators $(A_n)$ that are such that $||A_nf||=||f||$ and $\langle A_nf,g\rangle\to0$ for every $f,g\in L_2(\mathbb{R})$.
I have thought of defining $(A_n)f(x)=f(x+n)$ but I don't know how to proceed, can someone give me a hint? Thanks a lot.

A: It seems like this question has had many iterations, but I'll react to what I see now in the hopes that I am right. My answer would be to essentially look at $A_n$, where it is  the $n$-shift operator on $\ell^2_{\mathbb{R}}(\mathbb{N})$.
Take a countable orthonormal basis of $L^2(\mathbb{R})$, and denote it by $\{ \phi_n\}_{n=1}^\infty \subseteq L^2(\mathbb{R}) $. For every $f\in L^2(\mathbb{R})$ there is a unique sequence $\{ a_n(f) \}_{n=1}^\infty$ such that
$$ f=\sum_{k=1}^\infty a_k(f)\cdot \phi_k.$$
$A_n(f)$ will simply be
$$ A_n(f)=\sum_{k=1}^\infty a_{k}(f)\cdot \phi_{n+k}. $$
Notice that
$$ \langle A_n(f),\phi_{k} \rangle= \begin{cases} a_{k-n}(f) & ,k> n\\ 0 & ,k\leq n \end{cases}  $$
Hence, $\langle  A_n(f), \phi_k\rangle=0$ for $n$ large enough.
By Paresval's identity, we know that
$$\Vert A_n(f) \Vert^2= \sum_{k=1}^\infty \vert a_k(f)\vert^2. $$
Any finite linear combination
$$ g' = \sum_{j=1}^N c_j \cdot \phi_{k_j}, $$
satisfies that
$$  \langle A_n(f) ,\sum_{j=1}^N c_j \cdot \phi_{k_j}\rangle=0  $$
for $n$ large enough. Since the closure of the linear span of $\{ \phi_n \}$ is equal to $L^2$, you can deduce that
$$ \langle A_nf,g\rangle\to0 $$
for all $g\in L^2(\mathbb{R})$. Notice that $f$ was arbitrarily chosen here.

A: I thaught of taking
$$
A_n f=
\begin{cases}
f(x-n),\quad \text{if $x\ge n$}\\
0,\qquad \qquad\text{if $-n<x<n$}\\
f(x+n), \quad \text{if $x\le -n$}
\end{cases}
$$
It is an isometry, so $||A_n f||=||f||$.
$\langle A_n f,g\rangle=\int_{-\infty}^{-n} f(x+n)\overline{g(x)}dx + \int_{n}^{+\infty} f(x-n) \overline{g(x)}dx$.
The two integrals are tails of convergent integrals (since $\langle A_n f,g\rangle<\infty$), so they tend to zero as $n\to +\infty$

Great show! I was here. This was easter sunday. This place no longer exists. It was a weird place with those blurry glass blocks for windows and was sort of loungey..I recall someone lighting a candle and putting it on Paiges piano. I blew out the wick and tossed it...I saw the entire band in the bathroom at set break. Most people did not even know who they were but many of us did and it was a crazy scene during antelope...it was dark in there and bathroom was all red- I took a piss between Trey and Paige and just said thanks a lot and busted out a story about Halloween in 1989 at Goddard ( they handed out macaroni). Funn show. I ended up driving back to santa cruz...then up the arcata for the next show- which is where I was living.

Aspiring to design in a product team?
Drop your one day side project and stick with something for a year.
There's limited value in 365 half-baked thoughts, but lots of learnings in one big success (or failure).
This article is really aimed at designers aspiring to design digital products but other creative types may find it useful too.
To set this in some context, I trained as a 'graphic designer' — in fact my first job was designing expensive coffee table books. I quickly moved into the world of digital marketing, working on big brand campaigns before jumping again to where I am now in a product team. The subtleties of my changing job title to me represent chasmic shifts in what I do on a day-to-day basis. Due to my slightly unconventional route to where I am now I've learnt the hard way how different the skills are that each discipline requires.
Alongside this I started a side project in 2009 that is still going strong and has spawned several other interesting opportunities. In fact I would attribute a lot of what I've managed to do to experience gained from running a small non-profit.
A lot of designers get bundled into one pot, which in 'product-land' we might call visual design — making stuff look pretty. For the aspiring visual or graphic designer access to showcases of good work are easy to find, from Dribbble to Behance and Brand New to Creative Review (as well as the visual design of every website and app around). What isn't at all obvious is the design process that lead these people to their final execution.
By their visual nature these showcases form the accessible face of the design process and therefore the easiest to understand and emulate. This natural bias isn't a problem for the majority of designers, agencies etc., but it makes hiring a designer into a product team really hard work. Designing a product emphasises the end user more than any other design discipline — you live or die by their opinions and habits.
This opens a whole world of design disciplines alongside visual design (User Experience design, User Research, Interaction Design, Information Architecture and prototyping to name a few) and as a product designer for a small company you need a knowledge of all of these to be truly useful. Plus there's the additional soft skills of time and project management, prioritisation and data analysis that can only be learnt the hard way.
There may feel like a hundred designers for every job going when you're looking, but we find that of those hundred designers very few are the 'T shaped' people that we look for. In fact our most successful route when hiring is often referrals, just because cold-interviewing brings in such a variety of different types of designer.
So how do you go about changing your skill-set if your current job or course isn't teaching you half of the skills you need to succeed? There are of course a multitude of resources online, as well as courses that will help you learn. But at Osper we believe in learning by doing and anything theoretical seems one step removed from the stuff you care about — namely your own work.
At university I remember being set the challenge of coming up with 30 treatments of an idea in 30 minutes, drawn on a 5x6 grid of squares. So for example if your theme was 'Apples' you would probably draw an apple in the first square. By your 6th square you'd be on Steve Jobs, and by the 15th you'd be stuck. Pushing through that barrier was where the good ideas lay. As an analogy I think it holds true that if you start and finish a piece of work inside a day, you'll probably only come up with a single solution and execute it. You'll have no time (or need) to iterate on, test or validate your work, so who really knows if it's any good?
How about taking on something altogether more scary. Rather than splitting your year into several small projects: Commit to a single side project that has to last a year.
be something for real people, not just for yourself or your portfolio.
be able to prove itself in the real world, with measurable results.
survive after the initial 'honeymoon period' when you (for example) have to spend days building email newsletters.
potentially have legs beyond that first year and turn into something bigger, as that's what will keep you going.
Whoa nelly! but I'm a commitment-phobe and this all sounds like hard work!
Well, yes and no. Doing one day projects is fine and safe (after all if someone doesn't like it it doesn't matter, you only did it as a doodle anyway). Taking something on for a year requires a level of commitment that induces a monster *fear of failure. *But if you care about it more, so will other people.
In return for your time you'll be rewarded by a far better understanding of the full stack of design in a product company and a project with much more meaning and worth. You have a real excuse to hit up your design idols for advice and you never know, you may even make a bob or two.
And just think, a year may sound scary, but taken one day or one week at a time it's no different to a series of smaller projects, it's just that each one builds on the last. The best thing about doing this will be the story you can tell to a potential future employer, investor or co-founder. Whether your idea was a success or a failure, you'll know why and you'll have the battle scars to prove it. Believe me, it's completely invaluable.
Of course, it's possible you won't enjoy it at all. That's fine too, it's better to find that out in your own way than make a big leap into the unknown when theres a career/mortgage/baby clothes riding on it.
Everyone's got a big idea in them. Bite the bullet. Sink or swim, you'll learn a hell of a lot.

Against the Wind: Eberhard Arnold and the Bruderhof by Markus Baum
Cung Cap Man E-books > Church History > Against the Wind: Eberhard Arnold and the Bruderhof by Markus Baum
By Markus Baum
The first-ever biography of an uncompromising progressive for Christ whose witness nonetheless reverberates all over the world. Markus Baum, a renowned German journalist, offers Eberhard Arnold (1883-1935) as a job version for ultra-modern disaffected younger new release.
Baum's hugely readable account examines the forces that formed Arnold's lifestyles. He recreates a colourful period while hundreds of thousands of younger women and men in Weimar Germany rejected traditional mores and struck out on a special direction. Arnold, a tender and aspiring author and speaker, performed a trendy position during this ''Youth Movement,'' yet later left the limelight to dwell the solutions he had discovered, beginning a small group in accordance with Christ's teachings and instance.
Against the Wind indicates Arnold's wide-ranging impact on different religious leaders of his day, his lonely stand opposed to the increase of Nazism, and his carrying on with legacy - the Bruderhof neighborhood flow - which makes his lifestyles as proper this day as ever.

Extra info for Against the Wind: Eberhard Arnold and the Bruderhof
The von Hollander-Otto family tree had roots extending all the way back into the 1700s and was replete with councilors, patricians, and knights of the German Order. However, all this would only have had significance until the first Russian Revolution, 1904 –1905, at the very latest. Emmy's father, a lawyer, had moved his family to Germany in 1890 to avoid the russification policy of Tsar Alexander III and to provide a German education for his children. Repeating his bar examinations had cost Johann Heinrich von Hollander the greater part of the family's resources.
15 Eberhard is not known to have had close contact with Pentecostal church groups or fellowships at any later time. But there is also no reason to believe that he sweepingly condemned the Pentecostal movement or purposely avoided it. How could he have gone against the obvious impression made on him by Torrey and Finney? And as the years went on, his life revealed the working of a number of charismatic gifts: power of judgment, breadth of prophetic vision, and active love. ymCa and ywCa During the first months of 1908 Eberhard and Emmy lived fairly harmoniously with their families, he in Breslau, she in Halle.
Eberhard's work for the Halle SCM brought in a small paycheck. And it was not long before the group associated with Ludwig von Gerdtell asked Eberhard to assume the follow-up for a series of von Gerdtell talks. So each Monday evening from the beginning of December, Eberhard gave a talk in the Erfurt Gallery about the "deeper understanding of the Christian view of the world and of life. Free admission for ladies and gentlemen. 6 Eberhard packed his schedule to the limit during his first few weeks in Halle.

From valet attendant to co-founder of a digital marketing agency, Kevin Quintero is the definition of an innovated entrepreneur. Tenoch Labs is the brain child of two roommates who didn't want to work under anyone besides themselves and knew that containing their creative minds would be selfish. With his "If anyone can do it, I can do it better" mentality, Quintero has manifested the perfect amount of perseverance to become a successful entrepreneur.
Raised in Dallas, Quintero found his calling in digital media at a very young age. He recalls falling in love with film, editing and storytelling by the seventh grade. After attending Dallas Community College Quintero was drawn to the nature scene of central Texas and knew San Marcos was the place to be. Once Quintero researched Texas State's electronic media program it was deemed the ideal next step towards his career.
When Quintero arrived in San Marcos he fell in love with the city, Texas State and most importantly, the professors at the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Out of every resource Texas State offers, Quintero advises students to take full advantage of creating relationships with professors.
"The professors are really good people, they're real people. They're just there to teach. Mass Comm professors are good at communicating and want to build relationships with you. They know their field. They know everything is changing and media is shifting," Quintero says.
Many of Quintero's peers tell him that he is lucky for finding something is he so passionate about and that it comes naturally. They fail to realize the amount of time and effort that has been put into perfecting his craft. "Nothing comes easy, it's not supposed to come easy," says Quintero. He recommends that anyone who lacks a passion should try to do something they hate and they might find the love in it.
Quintero had no idea what advertising and marketing even consisted of until he was working as a valet attendant for a building that housed a marketing agency. When he searched the name of the business, he discovered that his hobbies matched almost every service they offered. At this point, he knew he could capitalize off his skill. His mindset during school began to take an entrepreneurial approach and thought of ways he could sell what he was being taught. Quintero explained, "You got to see beyond the textbook. How can I make money off of this? How can I offer this to someone that has money?"
As graduation was approaching, Quintero and his roommate, Hector Sifuentes, were managing their new business, Intel Productions, with minor projects. He was advised by peers and professors that seeking out a position with an agency would be a safer plan. Quintero expressed that it didn't feel right to him, he had fallen in love with free creativity and the business.
One of Intel Productions first major projects was a collaborative effort with public relations agency, APC Collective. A Jarritos commercial created by the roommates for the agency and caught the attention of APC Collective. This was the start of a beneficial relationship between the two. After the project, Quintero made sure to keep in touch with the founder of the agency. The founder pleaded with Quintero to keep Intel Productions thriving and not work for anyone else, emphasizing that he will be underpaid and they are worth more. After voicing his concern with a living wage, the founder of APC collective offered to assist Quintero and Sifuentes and officially invest in the newly rebranded Tenoch Labs.
Jarritos: Love is Super Good from Intel Productions on Vimeo.
Kevin Quintero is now living out his digital media dream and can't exaggerate enough how great it feels. Quintero's main piece of advice to others is to never stop doing what you love, "Just keep working hard and then one person looks at your work and says 'damn that's awesome,' and that one person turns to two and so on. You just can't stop working."

Innovation is the one thing that separates leaders from followers and entrepreneurs from mere managers. It is that simple ingredient that sets a school, hospital, nation or organization apart from all the others. The most interesting part is that the innovative spirit can be developed by anyone by following the 3 action steps listed below!
First, before we look at three (3) principles of innovation, I will like us to define innovation properly. This is because many abstract definitions around put a mystical and unattainable view on innovation. Making it seem like something only a few are gifted with, and that is completely wrong. Anyone can innovate anything!
Innovation is really not the creation of new things but rather "Innovation is the combination of old things in new ways". This is important because like a wise man said nothing is new under sun. So no need pressurizing yourself try to look for something new. Interestingly I will like to point out that Isaac Newton could have flown an aircraft because all the material from creation existing today also existed then. But the reason he didn't fly an aircraft was simply because the right combinations of those materials was not until the 20th century with the Wright brothers. Therefore all you need to bring about innovative change in your office, school and organization already exist around you.
Meanwhile sight is a function of the eyes, vision is a function of the heart. All followers see is the facts about the present condition of things – what is. But vision sees what could be, what possibilities exist and how change could come about. This is the essence of innovation – change. You must develop your capacity to look beyond the present situation so you can see the opportunities that lie in the horizons. Your capacity to see then is just a function of your capacity to think. Innovators are Big Thinkers. As always, the opportunities and solutions to bring about innovation lie right in front of us but we must see them.
For example: Many look at a cow but someone sees a pair of shoe; many look at a sheep but someone sees a suit; many look at clay but someone sees a pot. So all you will ever need is right before you but you have to see it. Stop just looking, start thinking on what you're looking at, so you can see!
Experience most at times suffocates the innovative spirit within us. Just because something didn't work last year doesn't mean it won't work this year. You must learn from your experience by grabbing all the lessons you can get from it. But making it a reference for your decisions is dangerous. Innovation is birth out of several trials and failures. So learn from the past but don't live in it. Keep trying till you find a new way.
Sometimes innovative ideas will come from places completely unrelated to your task. For example: A wonder of engineering, the world largest passenger airline Airbus A380 owes its success to several innovations from places completely unrelated to aviation – its landing gear hydraulics supporting close to a million pounds on touch down from the bicycle pump idea; Its very strong, flexible, resistant and light covering from ancient weapons of war like the _Asian__ bow and arrow.
"Challenge the tide of convention, stretch the boundaries of tradition, and violate the expectations of the norm" – Dr. Myles Munroe.
An easy way to practice or exercise your innovative spirit is start with the end or objective in mind. What is our purpose for doing what we are doing? Once you have a clear picture of your destination, not only do you know which routes could take you there, but also you automatically know what routes won't take you there. This is important for eliminating unnecessary steps in the process and avoiding the redundancy loop.
No matter how long you have been on executing a certain task, if you must get innovative, you have treat it as a completely new adventure. Ask yourself how you will approach the task if seeing it for the very first time. Routine always creates complacency, which is bad for excellence and innovation. Think of yourself as an adventurer. Which methods of solving this problem exist that you haven't tried yet and why? What approach have you never attempted – just make it fun and exciting and ideas will flow.
There is more to you, your organization, business or enterprise than meets the eye. Stop just looking, think again and start seeing!
So that was how to become an innovative leader. Please leave all your questions and comments below, I'll be happy to help as much as I can. I, and your fellow readers are curious to learn from your personal innovation stories if any. Ranging from turning your ruler into a spoon in class, to transforming your organization, please share them down below. If you loved this post, please share it with two (2) of your friends. Thanks for reading!


"To understand the world you have to understand a place like Mississippi," William Faulkner famously said. His words came to mind late last month as student leaders at the University of Mississippi won their battle to have the state flag, which features a Confederate Battle Flag emblem, removed from the campus flagpole.
University students in Oxford are showing more courage than many of their elders and offer an inspiring cause for optimism about the state's future. Their move comes as the state of Mississippi remains the only state in the U.S. that flies this slavery-era symbol.
Mississippi has been a final battle ground on many issues, but Faulkner was right that it is a microcosm for the country.
The state is the great test case for democratic leadership because it is so thoroughly divided, on the basis of race, wealth, education, and respect for state versus federal government.
Mississippi leaders have long repeated the mantra that lower taxes and less regulation of business foster economic growth.
While the state has long had some of the lowest taxes and regulation, however, it is mired in deep poverty. The divisions in Mississippi motivated resistance to integration, which prompted the creation of countless private white academies. Many of them are not particularly good schools, but they are certainly wealthier than, and separate from, public schools.
The enduring racial disunity in the state leads to underfunding of public schools and apathy over the tragic resulting failures of so many of them. In 2011, it was reported that 44 percent of the state's public k-12 schools were in at-risk or failing categories, many labelled "dropout factories." One district in 2007 reported a retention rate of less than 32 percent of its student body from freshmen through senior year.
Cause for optimism it is to be found in the state's young people, however. The younger generation in Mississippi today is fed up with being so often in or around 50th place. Republicans and Democrats in their youth have strong words for recalcitrant state leaders. This week's vote in the student body Senate in Oxford is a shining example. 33 of 49 Senators voted to take down the state flag and to call state leadership to choose a new flag that fosters unity.
Since that vote, Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant has said that "college students react a lot emotionally," dismissing the relevance of student voices. Anyone who has attended a football game knows the importance of spirit. A team must be animated and have passion, but not just any form of it. Plato thought that spirit must be guided by wisdom, moderation, and justice. When it is, it takes the form of courage.
The students at the University of Mississippi offered rich reasons for what they believe to be right. Their courage was tested, given the small but angry minority of friends and family who may lash out at them. They acted also knowing that members of the Klan and of the League of the South stood nearby on campus over the past few days. The students were indeed emotional, expressing fear that our institution will make the wrong choice. Courage is not the absence of fear, Plato explained, but fearing the right things and not the wrong things. The Governor is right, therefore, to say that students exhibited emotion, but he was in error if he believed those emotions lack the guidance of wisdom.
It is true that the removal of a flag will not in itself redress the many larger injustices that persist. What it will do, however, is contribute to the reshaping of a culture, declaring the need to end white supremacy and to begin genuine healing and unification. A new generation is maturing and rising into positions of leadership in a state whose stock is often undervalued. As southern states make moral progress, people see the potential of investing in or moving their businesses here, like Google's planned $600 million facility in Alabama.
The prospects for progress are great in large part due to the courage of bright young people ready for change. If there ever were a perfect illustration of the power of liberal arts education or of fields like philosophy, we had it this October. Students stood up to protests by the Klan and the League of the South. They spoke out, evoking moral arguments about the values of democratic education, equal citizenship, and the power of symbols to enable or impede a culture of justice. They offered powerful reason for hope about the pursuit of a more just and unified Mississippi, and consequently a more moderate and progressive United States.
Dr. Eric Thomas Weber is associate professor of Public Policy Leadership at the University of Mississippi and author of Uniting Mississippi: Democracy and Leadership in the South (2015). He is representing only his own point of view.

The American College of Pediatricians (ACP) is a wingnut collection of pediatricians who espouse a socially conservative and "family values" agenda in opposition to the pediatric mainstream that, in their view, has a liberal bias. The SPLC has described it as a hate group.[1]
They adopted the strategy of picking a very official-sounding name so that conservative information outlets could cite them and still sound smart, and to provide confusion to unsuspecting people. For those looking for a more mainstream body of pediatricians, one can turn to the similarly-named American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which is the group the ACP split from.
1 History and policies
2 Hijinks and criticism
History and policies[edit]
The group was founded in 2002 by a group of pediatricians including former President of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Joseph Zanga. Initially, they split over the issue of gay adoption when the AAP endorsed it, and have gone on to take wingnut positions on every social issue involving children, including hysteria about "violent and sexual" media. Their political positions include, but aren't limited to [2]:
Opposition to gay adoption.
"Letting parents choose" when it comes to the proven beneficial HPV vaccine.
Support of corporal punishment.
Opposition to abortion and euthanasia, because of course.
Opposition to the support of gay teens in schools.
Opposition to anything involving transgender issues in children, including the use of puberty blockers, because transgender is obviously not real.
Support of abstinence-only sex education.
Long story short, they try to provide an academic voice for those terrified that the gay agenda is corrupting their children.
Hijinks and criticism[edit]
The group has been involved in at least one major controversy involving using a decidedly pro-gay pediatric study and twisting the content to support their anti-gay agenda. The study concluded that kids who come out as LGBT earlier are more likely to commit suicide due to the social stigma in school and the long-term impact that has on someone's life. The study also suggested the most people sort out their sexuality by age 25. The ACP used the study to conclude that homosexual feelings should be discouraged for as long as possible, and that most homosexual feelings disappear by 25, two things the study in no way supported.[3] The author of the study, Francis H. Collins, released a statement with the backing of the National Institute of Health repudiating the ACP's statements on the matter.[4] Other pediatricians have also claimed their research has been misused by the ACP.

Q: How to make starting player wait to take turn second in turn based multiplayer I am creating an app that implements google's turn based multiplayer api, but I am relatively new to android. What I need to happen is when the user starts a match with an opponent, they need to wait for the second user to begin in order to have certain data passed to them before the layout can be populated. Basically what I have is what you get from google's turn based multiplayer example. It starts a match and lets the person that started the match take the first turn. Does anyone have any experience with this? I don't know how to make the starting player wait until the other player takes their turn.
I have the starting player pass their info for their layout in a byte array which the opponent will get so they can act on that layout as needed. Then the opponent will alter the byte array with their own info for the byte array. After that, then the player that started the match should be able to proceed with their turn.
Any help will be great. Thanks guys.

A: As Ogen said, calling takeTurn() made it so the starting player was not able to take their turn until the second player did.

The Top 10 London Postcodes for Buy-to-Let
Em Morley - August 2, 2017
Though the majority of the capital offers relatively low rental yields of between 3-4%, there are still some London postcodes that provide landlords with very healthy rental yields…
Estate agent Portico has developed an Interactive Yield Map that gives landlords an indication of the potential income they could earn in all London postcodes.
If you're considering a property investment in the capital, here are the top 10 London postcodes for buy-to-let this summer:
Barking: 6.4%
Erith: 6.4%
Ilford: 6.1%
Dagenham: 5.9%
Edmonton: 5.8%
Canning Town: 5.7%
Beckton: 5.7%
Romford: 5.6%
Ponders End: 5.6%
Freezywater: 5.6%
Mark Lawrinson, the Regional Director of Portico, has explained why each location is a great bet for investors:
Barking – Zone 4
Highest potential yield: 6.4%
Average two-bedroom house price: £270,000
"Barking has been enjoying time in the spotlight ever since it was named the host borough for the London 2012 Olympics. Since then, a number of renovation projects have been transforming the east London town, most notably the Barking Riverside regeneration project, which is creating a brand new neighbourhood with 10,800 homes on the former power station site."
Erith – Zone 6
"Erith is a town next to the River Thames, situated east of Belvedere in Bexley. Its remoteness has kept property prices in the area relatively low, but now a ripple of regeneration is spreading from nearby Abbey Wood and neighbouring Woolwich, two big Crossrail winners.
"Developers are now moving into the area, reviving redevelopment plans for the riverfront area of Erith, renamed the Erith Western Gateway."
Ilford – Zone 4
"Ilford will be one of the first stops to test the new Crossrail trains as they are introduced along the Liverpool Street to Shenfield line this month. New trains will take residents into central London in 25 minutes and to business hub Canary Wharf in just 17 minutes, making it extremely attractive to renters or homebuyers looking for accessibility and affordability. Though property prices have shot up since the news of Crossrail, the average two-bedroom property still stands at a reasonable £300,000 or £1,100 per calendar month.
"We expect the area to undergo significant regeneration and gentrification over the next five to ten years."
Dagenham – Zone 5
"Dagenham, like its inner London neighbours Hackney, Shoreditch and Bethnal Green, has changed dramatically in recent years, and there are also further redevelopment plans in the pipeline.
"Within 20 years, some 35,000 new homes will be built in the area, with regeneration expected to create 10,000 new jobs. Furthermore, Crossrail will soon begin operating from nearby Chadwell Heath, making getting in and out of central London quicker and easier. These factors will no doubt attract a new wave of renters and homebuyers to the area."
Edmonton – Zone 4
"This investment hotspot in north London has big plans for its future; Edmonton Green is set to benefit from a £1.5 billion Meridian Water regeneration scheme, which will eventually deliver 10,000 new homes and 6,700 new jobs on 210 acres of former industrial land on the beautiful banks of the River Lea.
"London Mayor Sadiq Khan declared the scheme a 'win-win', because land left derelict would be brought back into use to help solve the capital's chronic housing shortage, while many of the workforce constructing it would be local residents equipped with the skills as part of apprenticeship and training programmes. Construction on the first 725 of those new homes is now underway."
Canning Town – Zones 2/3
"Canning Town is one of London's last affordable areas – and it's getting a facelift. A £3.7 billion regeneration scheme is building 10,000 new homes and two new town centres, which will help to attract more young professionals to the area who are working in nearby Canary Wharf.
"For those commuting into central London, Custom House, which is just a 20-minute walk away, will be served by the Elizabeth line in 2018."
Beckton – Zone 3
"Property prices in Beckton have increased by nearly 25% in the last two years, but the average house price still stands well below the London average, at £328,460.
"The area is experiencing significant regeneration, and is located perfectly for those working in the City and Canary Wharf."
Romford – Zone 6
"Romford, the largest of seven town centres in the London borough of Havering, is a top investment hotspot where landlords are achieving extremely impressive yields. When Crossrail arrives in 2017, it will not only improve Romford's connectivity to the South East and central London, but also bring with it a multitude of opportunities and exciting developments, no doubt increasing demand for property in the area."
Ponders End – Zone 5
"We're seeing an increasing number of people venture further out of London to get more space for their money, and Enfield is definitely a popular choice.
"Ponders End, a district within the borough, has significant potential for redevelopment and is just a 20-minute train ride from London Liverpool Street station. It's also a proposed Crossrail 2 station, which would really throw the district into the spotlight and hike up property prices in the area."
10. Freezywater – Zone 6
"Freezywater is another area in Enfield that offers a very healthy rental yield. There's a high proportion of renters living in the area and a one-bedroom property goes for around £900 per month.
"The area lacks great transport connections, but residents are just a 15-minute walk from Enfield Lock station, which offers direct trains into central London. There's also a good mix of both houses and flats, making it an attractive area for professional couples and people looking to start a family."
Although these London postcodes are the best places to invest in the capital nowadays, a recent study revealed which locations have provided the strongest capital gains over the past 20 years: /house-prices-london-boroughs-soar-500/

Bakken Museum exhibit gives new perspective on prosthetic technology
Fox 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul news | KMSP (August 20, 2019) – The Bakken Museum is highlighting prosthetic technology in a new exhibit that aims to educate visitors, especially children, about assisted devices and the people who wear them.
The Personal Prostheses exhibit is part of a larger exhibit called Designing for Life, which will be on display until at least the end of the year.
"There are human stories at the center of these different innovations," said assistant curator Nick Williams. "I can't tell you the number of times I've seen children in here trying the prosthetic arms and they say, 'wow this would be really hard to do everyday.'"
The exhibit is in partnership with Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare. Employees in the hospitals prosthetics division were hands-on in curating the experience, while patients stories are highlighted throughout.
"I think exhibits like this really can open eyes and give people a new perspective on things when it comes to people with disabilities," said Pete Winslow.
Winslow was born without most of his limbs. He wears a prosthetic arm to play trombone.
"I love how it's set up here where the kids can really pick up a prosthetic and see how it feels."
As part of the exhibit, visitors are challenged to try and flip pancakes while wearing a prosthetic arm.
The exercise aiming to give them an idea of how challenging everyday tasks can be, and how technology can assist upper extremity amputees.
"I hope that one day one of the kids that comes through and sees this exhibit will be a future prosthetist," said Gillette prosthetist Michelle Hall.
In the coming weeks, the Bakken will be expanding the exhibit to include even more features.
"It's really cool to see family's come in and parents explain stuff or kids just discover it for themselves," said Winslow.

Q: How to veirfy Shopify webhook signature in node.js/express? Shopify provides examples in Ruby and PHP to accomplish this. In my node/express app I try:
var data = querystring.stringify(req.body);
var calculatedSha256 = crypto.createHmac("SHA256", APP_SECRET).update(new Buffer(data, 'utf8')).digest('base64');

and also
var data = req.body;
var calculatedSha256 = crypto.createHmac("SHA256", APP_SECRET).update(new Buffer(data, 'utf8')).digest('base64');

but none of them provides an identical string to the one Shopify sends as a signature.

A: A bit old, but figured I'd post my solution:
var express      = require('express')
    , bodyParser = require('body-parser')
    , crypto     = require('crypto');

var app = express();

app.use(bodyParser.json({ verify: function(req, res, buf, encoding) {
  req.headers['x-generated-signature'] = crypto.createHmac('sha256', 'SHARED_SECRET')
   .update(buf)
   .digest('base64');
} }));

app.post('/webhook', function(req, res) {
  if (req.headers['x-generated-signature'] != req.headers['x-shopify-hmac-sha256']) {
    return res.status(401).send('Invalid Signature');
  }
});

A: Apparently the trick is to use the raw POST body, as described here: middleware for saving raw post data in the request object won't "next" and cause timeout

Colombia is primarily an agricultural country, and its biggest export crop is coffee beans. Native Amerindians were active in the area around 1450 BCE, and had developed a sophisticated political system by 1000 BCE. The Spanish arrived in 1500 CE, bringing war, disease, and exploitation.
Simon Bolivar was instrumental in achieving independence in 1819 when he united Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela as the Republic of Gran Colombia. Ecuador and Venezuela went their own way a decade later, and Panama hung in until 1903.

THE GOVERNMENT OF GREECE FUNDS THE GREEK ORTHODOX ARCHDIOCESE OF AMERICA?
The following editorial appeared earlier today at The Orthodox World under a slightly different title, Exclusive Analysis: Should the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America Accept Financial Support from the Greek Government?
This should sound a number of alarm bells for Orthodoxy in Dialogue's readers, among them: first and foremost, if the Orthodox Church in the world's wealthiest nation cannot support itself after more than two centuries of presence and growth on American soil, we are, proverbially, screwed; second, money from any government, let alone a foreign government, never comes without quid pro quo expectations of the recipient; third, the morality of the GOA's acceptance of nearly $2.25 million from a government whose own people suffer from ongoing economic hardship; and fourth, when will the Orthodox Church in the United States finally become the Orthodox Church of and for the United States? (This last question is addressed no less to the OCA, which takes orders from Russia.)
The Orthodox World bills itself as the most comprehensive English-language news website on the Orthodox Church. Check in often for new content.
Archbishop Elpidophoros of America, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis of Greece
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis visited the United States earlier this month. By most accounts his trip was a success. He met with the most senior officials in government including President Donald Trump. His trip showed the continued influence and reach of the Greek community in America.
The Prime Minister also attended and participated in a number of events of the Greek Diaspora, including religious celebrations. Most notably he joined His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros for the feast of Theophany in Tarpon Springs, Florida — a marquee Orthodox event each year.
Among the announcements made during the visit was news of annual funding support by the Greek government of two million Euros to the Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in "support of its survival, programs, and advancement." First reported by The National Herald, this story has received minimal coverage in the English Orthodox world.
It's been a different story in Greece. Many articles and commentary have criticized the large amount of funding committed. Critics have compared the two million Euros to funding provided to various Greek universities who have a significantly higher student population.
In a time of continued financial hardship for the people of Greece, should the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America accept financial support from the Greek government?
The financial challenges of the Archdiocese are well known. The financial challenges and mismanagement of the Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology are also well known. By most accounts Archbishop Elpidophoros has done a tremendous job to stop the decline, increase morale, build confidence among the faithful, and begin to put a plan in place that will be financially sustainable over the long term.
So why the need to take money from the Greek people, who are still suffering from the economic crisis? Is the taking of this money a strategic misstep by the Archdiocese? At a time when the Orthodox faithful of Greece are facing challenges, maybe the right thing to do is thank Prime Minister Mitsotakis for the offer, but decline the grant, or better yet, use the money to help struggling families in Greece.

President Trump Helps A Lot More Than He Knows
March 24, 2020 Mark Megahan
President Trump's emergency rush to embrace technology helps a lot more people than he ever could have imagined. Americans with a particularly isolating disability have been demanding remote access to medical services for years, but the crippling bureaucratic snarl of HIPPAA blocked the way. With a wave of his pen, President Trump's battle orders slashed through the endless tangle of red tape.
Emergency order helps the chronically isolated
President Donald Trump doesn't get nearly enough credit for the way he helps ordinary Americans, any way he can. The current virus crisis underscores his unprecedented efforts to rip down bureaucratic barriers. One executive order had a bonus effect that nobody would have imagined. A few words from the president recently chopped through a jungle of regulations that chemically sensitive "canaries" have been helplessly hacking away at for years.
Ever since the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act went into effect in 1996, Americans have been walled off from electronically talking to their doctors by endless legal restrictions. President Trump came up with a brilliant idea. He suspended enforcement of the privacy provisions for the "good faith" use of technology so it can be used for telemedicine.
Patients can now use familiar electronic communication apps like email and Skype to interact with their healthcare providers in real time, without exposing healthcare staff to infection. This also means that patients who become ill from exposure to the chemicals, which are ever present in medical facilities, don't have to face them.
Canaries in the chemical coal mine
More than one third of Americans are sensitive to common chemicals like air fresheners and cleaning products, as well as detergents, shampoos, and anything with a fragrance. A large and growing number of those afflicted by Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) are so sensitive they cannot tolerate interacting with society and live in total isolation. They call themselves "canaries" after the original early warning system used in coal mines. If the canary fell over, the air was unsafe. When human canaries fall over, they can't even see a doctor. Many of them say, "doctors make me sick." That's why this order helps so much. Telemedicine is an idea that's long overdue.
Under the loosened restrictions, patients and doctors are allowed to "utilize telehealth across state lines." They can "provide services, even though they are not licensed to practice in those states." In order to accomplish that legally, "HHS also waived HIPAA (privacy) penalties to allow healthcare providers to care for patients using telehealth."
"We are empowering medical providers to serve patients wherever they are during this national public health emergency. We are especially concerned about reaching those most at risk, including older persons and persons with disabilities," Health and Human Services Civil Rights director Roger Severino wrote in a press release.
The laws are still in effect, they just won't be enforced in cases where the breaches occur in "good faith." According to the release, "OCR will exercise its enforcement discretion and will not impose penalties for noncompliance with the regulatory requirements under the HIPAA Rules against covered health care providers in connection with the good faith provision of telehealth during the COVID-19 nationwide public health emergency. This notification is effective immediately."
One of the things that should become a top priority for our nation's health officials is to make this a permanent change. Millions of Americans will benefit from it.

Joe Diffie and his crew made an emergency evacuation in August 2012 after a fire broke out on their bus. The singer shared the picture shown here with fans and friends, saying, "Had to stop and evacuate everyone. Scary for a minute! All ok now! Thanks to everyone at Vernell's Truck Stop for getting us back on the road!" The incident took place just after 3AM, and the gang was able to get back on the road later that morning.
