During the past 18 months, this community has spent time thinking about our future here at Mount Olivet. We have listened to each other, our partners, and our neighbors in the community, as we have discerned what God is telling us. We have considered how we can improve and better utilize our buildings and grounds for our members and community both for today and for tomorrow. Our collective conversations have led us to creation of the BE OPEN vision. This vision is made up of four different segments, all of which will be accomplished over the course of time as our resources and energy allows.
We would like to focus on the Open Tables segment. Early on in the process, our congregation identified a need to have a shared meal in our church building. Further discernment and discussion highlighted a desire to work with our partner, Loaves and Fishes, to host a regular community meal. Unfortunately, our kitchen is no longer equipped to effectively provide for these needs. Built in 1968, it is outdated and not up to code. It is clear that it needs to be renovated if our vision is to be achieved.
A designated Building and Design committee, appointed by the church council and made up of Mount Olivet members, has been working with an architect to design renovations to the kitchen and the north entry. Specifically, the plan will expand the kitchen eastward into the current lobby and bring it up to code with new kitchen appliances, food preparation areas and a dish washing station. The north entrance will also be updated as part of this phase in order to provide a secure and inviting entrance. As part of that work, the architect has also looked at how to renovate the fellowship hall — the segment of the BE OPEN vision that we are calling Open Doors — so that what we do in 2019 fits with what may be done in the future. Now it is our time to BE OPEN and your help is needed to make this happen.
In February and March, members will be inviting you to have a conversation about what it means to BE OPEN and to learn more about the specific plans for 2019. In March, pledge cards will be sent to document your commitment to this effort. We will ask you to contribute your time and money in support of the Open Tables phase of the BE OPEN vision.
Over a century ago, the founders of our church took the bold step to build the first Mount Olivet church building.
Today, that church is still serving the needs of our community as the Mount Olivet Chapel. Please join us in taking the next step in our church's history as we continue our legacy of service and building community.


I woke up after only having around 4 hours of sleep, I did not feel like I had even gone to bed the night before. It was a rough night with sick children and a baby who still wakes regularly for feeds, and my hubby was traveling for meetings around the Pacific. I was not a happy mummy at all!! I was not a grumpy mummy. I was not a person I recognised at all. I felt like a robot, an emotionless, mechanical thing, just going through the motions as quickly as I could to get my two older girls off to school. I know they talked to me, I'm not sure what my response was but I do know that I was in no way my usual self.
After they had left for school and I was left with baby and myself, I kinda shook myself awake and was completely ashamed and devastated that I had let my children down again. Me. The Mum. The one who was meant to protect them and keep them safe and be their safe place, I had been completely distant and unfeeling towards them. I almost got into the car to go to the school and pick them up and bring them home for the day to try and fix the morning.
But I knew what I needed. I needed God. I needed time by myself with my Rock and rest. I couldn't fix this by myself. This was not a matter of the amount of sleep I did or didn't get, this was a matter of the heart and I needed to align it back to God and His heart for my children and for me.
So what do we do? What should we do when we let our kids down? When for whatever reason we are not the parents we want to be? What should we do when we forget who we are and whose we are?
Its not easy to admit that we haven't got it all together. Its not easy when you come to the realisation that you are not that mum that you thought you would be.
There is only one thing we can do when we get to this point, and that is to run into the arms of the perfect and good Father God. Go to Him and cry it out, yell it out, get it all out to a God who is waiting for you to turn back to Him.
We have to acknowledge that we have not been the best stewards of what He has given us, our precious children. We have to ask for forgiveness from Him for this, then let His forgiveness and Grace come pouring over you. Then walk out this forgiveness and freedom that you have in Him.
I am a firm believer in saying sorry to your children as well. Let them know that you realise that you were not behaving in the right way and that you love them and are sorry for not reacting in the best way. This also teaches them how to say Sorry and that if mum says sorry then even they can say sorry for things that they do. It also shows them that you are validating their feelings and telling them that they matter as a person.
Then do something fun! Lighten the mood and change the atmosphere by doing something fun with them. Have a change of scene and go somewhere like a park, the beach or just for a walk. Or put some music on and have a dance party. Play a board game or game of cards, do some craft together. Whatever it is, reconnect with your children on their level and spend some quality time with them, show them you value them.
The hardest part and one that, for me anyway, is the scariest, is having to keep myself in check so it doesn't happen again. I am working with God on lots of little things in my life and one of them is my short temper and yelling at my children. So I am reading Bible verses about anger, I have specific prayers for myself and I am accountable to my husband and some close friends for this. So I encourage you whatever it is that you think you have failed in, go to God about it, get some truth from His Word, pray it over yourself, declare what He says about it. Then find some good wise counsel who can keep you accountable in that particular area.
I am not Naive and think that this is going to be fixed after one mistake, although that would be amazing if it could!! But its ok if you keep making mistakes, just take on His Grace for you and Give yourself some Grace. Don't expect to be changed quickly but celebrate each step in the right direction, growth, even little growth is better than giving up.
Here are some verses that I have found helpful for me when I have made mistakes and in aligning my heart with His again.
7 Verses that bring rest, breathe life and heal a weary, exhausted Mama's heart.
Being a mum is an amazing experience!! We get to form little minds and slowly guide them and point them to a Heavenly Father who loves them and created them for a good purpose. There is also no denying that being a mum is hard work!! With the monotonous daily errands like washing, cleaning, washing, feeding, washing, tidying and did I say washing? It is also an emotional job. We train them in character, in relationships and all their big emotions.
It is draining, and it's really easy for us to get exhausted not only physically and emotionally but also spiritually. If we are not being fed spiritually and not getting our time with God daily, we are making life harder for ourselves than it has to be. God has so much to say in His Word to us as tired and worn out Mums. He has given us this beautiful challenge of mothering our treasures, and He will give us all that we need to do it well.
God loves us so much and He completely understands our exhaustion and He encourages us to rest. Isn't that amazing!!! He wants us to rest, and more than that he calls us to rest. He invites us and begs us to rest. Just as I am writing this I am feeling that beckoning to rest right now. It's more than just a sleep, more than a strong coffee, more than a holiday even. His rest that He wants to give you is life giving, and a refreshing, strengthening and forever kind of rest!! Thats the kind of rest that I want please!!
I want to share a few of these whispers to you!! I hope you hear them and meditate on them and let the Word soak into every part of your exhausted self!!
"He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm and carry them to His bosom, and gently lead those who are with young".
This is my favourite verse when it comes to being a Mum. It is such a beautiful picture of God watching over us. He leads us gently and holds us through it all. He holds us so close to himself that we can hear His heartbeat if we lean in to Him.
This one is such a breath of fresh air for me whenever I read it. God is calling us to come to Him when we are tired and weary and that He will give us rest. He is our rest. We can give our burdens to Him and He will exchange it for His rest!! I don't know about you but to me that sounds like a pretty good deal.
The whole of this chapter is a beautiful love song. I love the way it can symbolise God's love for us as well. It talks about the time of winter is past, and going into a new season of Joy. So even when you feel like the season you are in as a tired mum is going to last forever, it won't! There is a light at the end of the tunnel (as they say). He is again calling us away to a time of intimacy and rest with Him.
Again we have a beautiful passage showing God's care for us and that He provides us with all we need. This includes rest and strength for each day. He is the one who leads and guides us. He takes us to a place of rest, renewal, and restoration. Don't let the fame of this verse take anything away from the truth that it speaks to us!
We have no need to be worried, anxious, or stressed out because we have an amazing God who asks us to take it to Him in prayer and He will give us all peace!! Peace that we cant even understand. Peace that is rooted in His love and sovereignty over all. Even more than that, He will guard our hearts and minds from other anxious and worried thoughts as we continue to go to Him in prayer.
He quiets you with His love and rejoices over you with singing. Can you just let that wash over you for a moment. Just close your eyes and imagine that again. He will quiet you with His Love and rejoices over you with singing!! He absolutely looks at you and smiles. This alone just gives me rest, to know that I don't have to do anything, He just is delighted in me. We can stop striving and rest in his love and live our life knowing that Our Heavenly Father is delighted in us!
I could not write up a list of verses for the weary and tired mum without including this one. It is such an amazing promise from an amazing God who does not want us to try and do it all on our own!! He will renew our strength, He will give us all we need for every moment of everyday and all we have to do is trust in Him. It's just that simple.
So there you have it my 7 go to verses for a tired exhausted Mum. Write them out. Print them out. Paint them in the sky. Whatever you need to do to get these truths deep down into your heart.
Let me know if you have any other verses that you go to for your strength. I'd love to read them!!
Now some of you may be super blessed with a church that has a Sunday school running at the same time as the service, or even a childcare in the church. However, our church does not have these all the time. During the sermon time usually baby will start crying, or one or both girls need to go to the bathroom, or something happens which makes me miss out on some or all of the message time of the service.
I know sometimes its easy to just forget it and try again next Sunday but I really strongly believe that its important for us Mummas to get fed spiritually so that we can not only have the strength to face each day, but also so that we have something to give out to our children and husbands. We cannot give from an empty tank!
It can be really easy to become dry and stuck in life when we are not getting the Word of God into our lives.
When we come to Jesus, we will not hunger and thirst, which means we will be completely satisfied. Satisfied in life, satisfied in our relationships, and satisfied in our Motherhood. We won't feel dry, or empty, or weak, or incapable to keep going. I want that!! I want to be completely satisfied in Him and in my life!! Filled up and overflowing so that I can give out! So I can give of myself, so I can be a good witness to my children, my husband, family and people around me.
This is my favourite go to at the moment. I listen to podcasts when I'm folding laundry, going for a walk, cooking dinner, and sometimes just doing the daily school pick ups. There are some awesome podcasts out there with sermons by nearly every preacher you can think of. A few of my favourite Christian Mum podcasts are these : The God Centred Mom, Mom Struggling Well, She Proves Faithful, and At Home.
There are some beautiful devotionals available out there right now. Even if you only get 5 minutes to read them, you will get God's Word and some great teaching that's creative and encouraging.
I recommend: She Reads Truth, The Daily Grace Co, and Illustrated Faith.
Sometimes its hard to get much time to read the Bible so I love to have it on my phone. When I'm feeding baby, or putting him to sleep, or even if I'm in a waiting room somewhere, no need for candy crush, here are some great apps that have the Bible on them or little 2 minute devotions you can read quickly: Holy Bible, First 5, She Reads Truth, Thrive Moms and Pray Today.
Just having it playing in the background can set such an amazing atmosphere in your home. Also you can sing and have your own worship time while you are doing anything around the house and get some deep truths into your heart through Worship. My favourite Worship at the moment is : Kari Jobe, Bethel, Josh Garrels, Sandra McCracken, Hillsong and Chris Tomlin.
Reading is an obvious but mostly overlooked way for us to seek out teaching. I have recently just started reading again, I used to claim that I was too busy to read and never had time. Then I looked at my reality and I was scrolling on my phone sometimes for up to an hour before bed. I have now given myself a rule, once I am in bed at the beginning of the night No Phone! So now I have heaps of time to read before bed. My Reading list is growing everyday as I discover new authors and new books I cant wait to get my hands on.
I think the most important thing to remember is to make it a priority to spend time with God. For myself I have had to catch myself mindlessly scrolling instagram or pinterest before thinking "hmmm is this the best way I can be spending my time right now??" Now I'm not saying instagram or pinterest is wrong at all, I love social media and it does give me a break every now and then when i need it. But it doesn't bring me life like getting into the Word or being in His presence. So totally NO GUILT!!! Give yourself grace, especially when you are in the stages with newborns or teething babies who are not sleeping well. Do what you need to to survive. Just be encouraged that spending time with the Lord however you can will help you in ways that I can't even describe!!!
Have you got any other ideas of how to get extra teaching as a busy mum? How do you keep your self spiritually fed as a busy mum?
Firstly I want to tell you that this is something that I am still developing.. something that I haven't perfected but I am still working out what works for me.
So why do I think it's important for me to have a decent morning routine?? Let me tell you..
I think it's important for me to be awake and functioning to some capacity when my kids wake up. I don't know about you but if I get woken up by one of my kids and I'm not ready, I can be quite a grumpy morning monster… I can be snappy and not react well to them at all. However if I'm already awake, and have had some "me" time before they wake up, I actually can be a really pleasant mum, who is happy to see them and ready to take on the day with them.
I think the way that I spend the first 15-20 minutes of my day really sets the tone for my whole day. If I have been woken up and then had to rush around getting kids breakfast, dressed and out the door for school, and am still not quite awake, my whole day feels rushed and disorganised. It feels like I can never get on top of anything, and I usually get upset or cranky about the littlest things. However if I have had time with God, over coffee, looked over my planner for the day, and maybe (If I'm lucky and they are still asleep) a little 10 mins exercise, I am ready for the day. My whole day feels like its happening for a purpose, I am generally way more joyful and settled.
So the night before I usually set the timer on my coffee machine, have all my God time needs (Bible, pens, prayer journal, notebook…) and my planner all ready to go, so that in the morning I don't have to make my coffee, or look for my books, everything is waiting for me. I have a nice space set up in the corner of our loungeroom with a lamp and table and big chair. It's so warm and welcoming for me in the morning.
I have my alarm set for 6am, although I am currently finding it is not quite enough time, so I'm thinking of possibly setting it a little earlier but let me just say this is completely with grace… My 7 month old does not sleep well, so if we have had a bad night and I have not had enough sleep then I give myself grace and not push myself to get up that early. Sometimes its only 10 minutes that I end up having, or somedays it just doesn't happen at all… and thats ok.
I always start with my God time. So I either do my daily Bible readings, or write in my prayer Journal, I pray for my kids, my husband and anything else that I need to first. I plan on showing you my prayer journals and Bible Study tools in a future blog so keep your eye out!! – But what I will say is that there are some awesome Bible Apps for your phone that I absolutely love! The main ones I am using at the moment are the "She reads Truth" app, the "First 5" app and the basic "Bible" app.
Then I grab my daily planner and check my to do list for the day. I add anything that needs to be added, make a plan for the day, scheduling when I will be doing the different things. I then pray over my planner. This may sound silly, but the days I forget to do this step, I always have jobs not completed or I will run out of time on certain things. But if I pray over my to do list and schedule, I ask God to highlight anything I need to focus on, or anything I may have forgotten about or anything that i need to take off my list. My day always run so much smoother and more productive when it has been covered in prayer.
Lastly I have my 'move' time. Now this is probably the area in which I have the most flexibility at the moment. If all I can do is have a glass of water and take my multivitamins then thats fine. If I have an extra few minutes and the kids are all still asleep or entertained then I can do 10 minutes of Pilates or mummy exercises that I have found on Youtube. This is an area I look forward to growing in and changing over time. Somedays this step gets postponed until after the older two kids have gone off to school and I then go for a 30 minute walk with baby.
I just wanted to say quickly that on the days that my baby has a bad night and I have not had enough sleep, I don't push myself and I give myself grace. Maybe that day I do these steps once the older girls have gone to school, or maybe its done gradually throughout the day. It does make the day a little more difficult for me (but lets face it, it was already going to be a difficult day when i'm living on 3-5 hours of sleep). So don't push yourself too hard. Be realistic!!
I would have to say baby steps…. If you haven't done anything like this before, just try getting up 10 minutes earlier and do 3 minutes of each part. Read some verses, pray over your planner or to do list, and do 3 mins of squats or crunches or something… Then slowly grow it, slowly bring it earlier.
So there you have it, that is my current morning routine, and why I think it's important… If you want more details contact me, I would love to explain more, or you can also check out the Hello Mornings podcast and website. I have also linked below some of the other pages to have a look at if you are interested in having a meaningful, purposeful morning routine.
Let me know if you have any other ideas for me or if you give this a try.

Talking About the Blues Podcast
By The American Songster	on August 1, 2016 March 21, 2018
Per Talking about the Blues Radio:
"I had the pleasure and honor yet again to rap with the American Songster himself, Dom Flemons, who pulls from traditions of old-time folk music, about the show he performed in and hosted to honor the legendary Folk Singer Huddie William Ledbetter, AKA Leadbelly at the Leadbelly fest in February at Carnegie Hall.
The "Lead Belly Fest" Concept
Lead Belly Fest is a unique concert happening which is currently touring worldwide iconic music venues, celebrating the incredible life and legacy of Huddle Ledbetter, known universally as Lead Belly: such was his influence on world music that George Harrison was quoted as saying; "No Lead Belly, no Beatles."
Following the ground-breaking concert on 15th June 2015 at the iconic Royal Albert Hall, Lead Belly Fest went to the USA to Carnegie Hall, New York for the next sell-out round of this tribute festival on Feb 4th 2016. Lead Belly gave his last ever performance at Carnegie Hall in 1949 shortly before he died of ALS on 6th December 1949.
The concert is a multi-media event with world-class artists playing Lead Belly songs as well as their own hits. This is accompanied by projected VTs describing Lead Belly's life, as well as a spoken narrative, and actual Lead Belly audio; this used as a backdrop to the music and create our unique in-auditorium festival atmosphere.
Song choices include: House of the Rising Sun, Black Betty, Take This Hammer, Good Night, Irene, CC Rider, Ella Speed, Rock Island Line, Midnight Special etc.
Lead Belly's Influence…
Lead Belly is the great unsung American musician of the 20th Century, influencing The Beatles, Elvis, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, The Animals, Van Morrison, Ry Cooder, Credence Clearwater Revival, The Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jack White, George Ezra and many, many more."

Djursholms vattentorn står på en liten kulle strax nordväst om Djursholms slott i Djursholm, Danderyds kommun. Vattentornet uppfördes 1890 och påbyggdes 1908. Tillsammans med Ekeby vattentorn försörjde vattentornet Djursholm med dricksvatten. År 1960 torrlades vattentornets bassäng och vatten levererades istället från Görvälns vattenverk. Tornet inrymmer sedan 1974 Samfundet Djursholms Forntid och Framtid samt Danderyds föreningsarkiv.

Bakgrund
Vattenförsörjningen i det nya villasamhället Djursholm ordnades till en början med hjälp av egna brunnar eller genom några allmänna brunnar. När Djursholms AB år 1889 började med sin tomtförsörjning utlovade man vattenledning och den vattentäkt som låg geografiskt bäst till var Ösbysjön. Från sjöns norra del drogs en vattenledning som gick till ett maskin- och pumphus med adress nuvarande Danderydsvägen 3 (från 1909 inrymdes Djursholms elektricitetsverk och idag bland annat skolan "elevverket"). Där renades sjövattnet i tre bassänger och pumpades sedan upp till tornets bassäng. Därifrån gick det med självfall till hushållen.

Byggår

Det finns olika uppgifter om när vattentornet började byggas. Enligt en sammanställning i publikationen "100 år på Djurholmen" som bygger på samtida tidningsuppgifter färdigställdes vattentornet 1890, samtidigt revs Djursholms slotts väderkvarn. Enligt Danderyds kommuns webbplats uppfördes tornet 1898. På ett fotografi som enligt uppgift härrör från 1890 syns det nybyggda vattentornet med den gamla kvarnen intill. Även en broschyr utgiven av Danderyds kommun år 2005 anger 1890 som byggår. Det förefaller alltså mest troligt att tornet byggdes redan 1890.

Tornet
Tornet uppfördes på en kulle strax nordväst om Djursholms slott. Arkitekten är okänd. På samma kulle stod slottets gamla väderkvarn, som revs kort efter att tornet stod färdigt. Vattentornet är en rund tegelbyggnad på gråstensgrund. Tornets höjd var till en början drygt 20 meter (ungefär till det ljusa putsbandet). Taket var platt med en krenelerad balustrad runt omkring och hela anläggningen liknade en medeltida borg. Bassängen rymde 275 m³ vatten och i de tre nedre planen inreddes en bostad för de anställda. Trots allt vatten de hade ovanför sig, fick de hämta sitt eget dricksvatten på slottsgården. Deras jordkällare är fortfarande bevarad intill tornet.

Vattenkapaciteten blev dock snart för liten när invånarantalet i Djursholm växte. Den torra sommaren 1906 hämtades vatten via ledning även från Ekebysjön. År 1907 slutade man helt med Ösbysjön och Ekebysjön som råvattentäkt och vattnet kom istället från sjön Norrviken via en 10 kilometer lång vattenledning. Enligt en samtida tidningsuppgift var vattnet kristallklart, välsmakande och hade jämn temperatur året om. För att möta de ökade kraven på dricksvattentillgång byggdes Ekeby vattentorn i Ekeby, som invigdes år 1908 (arkitekt Axel Bergman). De båda tornen försörjde samhället med vatten och deras ledningar var hopkopplade. Ekebys vattentorn var dock högre och det blev nödvändigt att höja Djursholms vattentorn.

Höjningen genomfördes 1907-1908 och gjorde tornet drygt tio meter högre. Arkitekten för påbyggnaden var Rudolf Enblom. Bassängen flyttades cirka åtta meter upp och tornet fick sitt nuvarande utseende med en plåttäckt tornhuv. Vindflöjeln på tornets topp bär årtalet 1908 och påminner om händelsen. Fram till 1960 försörjde de båda tornen tillsammans med Stocksunds vattentorn (invigt 1910) hela Danderyd med dricksvatten.

Rivningshot och ändrat nyttjande
År 1960 övergick Djursholm och hela Danderyds kommuns vattenförsörjningen till vatten från Görvälns vattenverk vid Mälaren. Djursholms vattentorn torrlades, byggnaden behövdes inte längre och började förfalla. År 1966 föreslog drätselkammaren (kommunstyrelsen) stadsfullmäktige att låta riva tornet, men allmänheten protesterade och tornet räddades tills vidare.

År 1971 kom rivningsfrågan upp igen och drätselkammaren beslöt ännu en gång att vattentornet skulle rivas. Man fann att tornet kunde störa det närliggande slottet och att renoveringskostnaderna var betydande. Samfundet Djursholms Forntid och Framtid framförde däremot att tornet numera uppfattades som en karakteristisk siluett i stadsbilden och borde bevaras. Samfundet fick stöd av riksantikvarieämbetet som hade kommit fram till att tornet utgjorde ett "minnesrikt och värdigt monument från samhällets tillkomstår". I december 1970 beslöt Danderyds kommuns stadsfullmäktige att vattentornet skulle bevaras och anslog medel för upprustningen.

I tornet finns numera fyra våningar som renoverades och sedan hyrs 1974 av Samfundet Djursholms Forntid och Framtid samt Danderyds föreningsarkiv. Översta våningen är tom, här fanns en gång den stora, numera rivna, bassängen.

We are a friendly club with approximately 100 full time players and we welcome all new players. We also have an attractive social programme.
Our No 1 green is a TigerTurf artificial surface which is rated as the best artificial green in our Centre. It has been favourably commented on by both our club and visiting players alike.
Our bowling programme includes games for all levels of play from championships, rollups and special events. Our Wednesday programmes are "mufti" with games to provide interest for all our players.
Early this year, when I got a flier about Community Bowls at the Kapiti Bowling Club, I decided to give lawn bowls a try. I had never played the game before.
It did't take long for me to become hooked! One of the main reasons for this is the warm welcome that I received from all club members. Everyone has been so friendly and helpful. Members have gone out of their way to make me feel part of the club and to help me with my bowling. Without fail, people have been encouraging, understanding and patient.
I have also received excellent coaching from qualified coaches who couldn't be more helpful or more generous with their time. All in all the whole experience to date has been positive - and fun. I have played sport all my life and never have I been made more welcome at a club. Although my bowling is definitely a ''work in progress'', I can't wait to see what my bowling future will bring.
For many years I have had an interest in bowls but for various reasons I had never played the game. I retired in October 2014 and decided the time was right to join a Bowling Club. I made enquiries and was advised that the club to join was the Kapiti Bowling club at Raumati Beach, the main reason being that this club was the friendliest and most welcoming.
I have indeed found this to be true and I have been highly impressed with the coaches, the coaching programme and the support structures that are in place at the Club. Playing bowls at the Kapiti Bowling Club has been a rewarding and enriching experience and I can recommend joining if you are thinking of taking up the game.
I give my assurance that all new players will be welcomed and integrated into the Club. Come and join us - you will not regret it.

Eddie Buckingham is a fictional character from the Australian soap opera Neighbours, played by Bob La Castra. He made his first screen appearance during the episode broadcast on 3 April 1990. La Castra created the character for himself after he was told that casting him the soap would be difficult due to his ethnic background. Eddie was introduced during a series of episodes set in London. He befriends Madge Bishop (Anne Charleston) and Harold Bishop (Ian Smith), and later travels to Australia to visit them. While he is in the country, Eddie lives with the Bishops and runs a food stall. He is portrayed as bright, street wise, and a "typical cockney lovable rogue". The character was written out of the soap when the producers decided to focus on family-oriented drama, and Eddie departed on 28 September 1990.

Creation and casting
After La Castra finished working on children's television series Wombat in 1989, he sent an audition tape to Neighbours. La Castra received a call back, but he was told by producers that his ethnicity would make casting him difficult. The actor decided to use his background as a writer to create his own character, Eddie Buckingham. La Castra said "I was initially told the part would have been easier to cast if I were Vietnamese, but I lived in a normal street with normal people so I wrote myself in." La Castra told Nicola Murphy of TV Week that he went into shock when he learned that he had been hired by Neighbours. The producers asked La Castra to keep his casting a secret for ten weeks before he appeared on-screen. The actor commented "It was agony because I was busting to tell my friends. It's not much fun celebrating on your own!" Eddie was La Castra's first serious television role.

Development
Eddie was introduced to Neighbours during episodes set in London. He meets married couple Madge Bishop (Anne Charleston) and Harold Bishop (Ian Smith) when they frequent the café he is working at. He provides them with tourist information about the city, while they tell him stories about Australia. Madge and Harold invite Eddie to visit them one day. La Castra said that the fact he is from England in real life would be a draw for the English audience.

Eddie comes to Australia a few days after Madge and Harold return home. They provide him with a job in the Coffee Shop and a room at their house. During Eddie's seven months on Neighbours, he appeared primarily as a foil for Harold. La Castra and Smith became good friends off-screen. La Castra described Eddie as a "typical cockney lovable rogue". He is also characterised as street wise, "bright and breezy, and a one for chatting up the ladies." Eddie gets on well with everyone who comes to the Coffee Shop and provides the locals with "gossip, advice and outrageous stories about his days on the road."

Ahead of filming an early scene in which Eddie rides a bicycle, La Castra informed the producers that he could not ride a bike. He was able to shoot the close ups, but for the long shots the crew asked a Caucasian man to ride the bike and they blacked him up. La Castra admitted that he was surprised and thought there were probably "other skinny black guys in Melbourne" that could have filled in for him. La Castra said nobody ever picked up on the fact he was not riding the bike, even though his double's wrists had not been painted and were exposed when his sleeves rode up. La Castra later said the moment was one of the funniest things to happen during his time on the show.

La Castra was written out of Neighbours in September 1990 along with a series of characters, so the producers could make a return to focusing on family-oriented drama. Josephine Monroe, author of The Neighbours Programme Guide, commented that storyliners failed to provide the character with "convincing plots" during his stint. Eddie returns to England after learning that his father has been taken ill. In March 2015, La Castra spoke of his time in the show, saying "I am really proud I got to be part of it and it is great to see it is still popular, so all credit to the producers for keeping it going. I still get recognised from time to time as Eddie but a lot of younger people tend to recognise me from Wombat. Most of all, those people who do recognise me ask how Harold is going."

Storylines
Eddie runs a café in London, which is visited by Madge and Harold Bishop while they are on holiday. They couple strike up a friendship with Eddie and before they leave, they ask Eddie to come and visit them in Australia one day. Eddie decides to take them up on their offer and arrives in Australia a few days after Madge and Harold return. Madge and Harold let Eddie stay with them, thinking he would only be with them for a short time.

Eddie begins to act suspiciously and stores large amounts of food in the fridge. Sharon Davies (Jessica Muschamp) finds Eddie selling sandwiches at a food stall. Eddie makes Sharon promise not to tell anyone as he does not have a work permit. Sharon explains to Eddie that Harold's coffee shop is losing business as a result of his food stall and asks him to quit. Harold announces he has reported the business to the council and Eddie admits that he is running the food stall. Madge and Harold are shocked and cannot understand why Eddie needs to work while he is in Australia. Eddie reveals that his café back home has gone bust. Harold buys the food stall and it becomes part of the Coffee Shop. Harold lets Eddie take the food stall around the town to ensure that Harold's business does not suffer. Eddie becomes an attraction for customers and he charms them with his stories.

Eddie falls for twins Caroline Alessi (Gillian Blakeney) and Christina Alessi (Gayle Blakeney) and he tries to get a date with one of them. Caroline pretends to be Christina and makes herself out to be a man-eater. When Eddie and Christina discover Caroline's joke, they tell Caroline that they are engaged after their first date. Eddie and Christina tell Caroline the truth after she organises an engagement party for them. When Eddie hears that his father is sick, he decides to leave Ramsay Street to help his mother care for him.

Reception
Author Josephine Monroe stated "Eddie was a milestone creation for the Neighbours bosses, for not only was he English, but he was also black. And in the snow-white suburb of Erinsborough, Eddie was always going to stand out from the crowd." Andrew Potts of The Gold Coast Bulletin branded Eddie "a cheerful and street-smart café owner".

A writer for the BBC's Neighbours website proclaimed that Eddie's most notable moment was "Announcing his joke engagement to Christina."
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Neighbours, a BBC reporter asked readers to nominate their twenty favourite obscure characters. Eddie came in fifteenth place and a reader stated "I liked Eddie Buckingham, played by Bob La Castra. He was an English stand-up comedian who lived with the Bishops for a while. No real explanation was given to why he arrived or, indeed, why he left".

The American authoress Patricia Highsmith wrote, amongst her other literally works, 22 novels of which around two dozen were adapted for either the TV or the cinema. Cinematic adaptions included several of her five Tom Ripley novels. The best-known adaptations are probable Strangers on a Train (1951), Plein Soleil (1960) its American remake The Talented Mr Ripley (1999), Ripley's Game (2002) and The Two Faces of January in 2014. The latest of her novels to be served up for the big screen is her only non-crime novel and a landmark in LGBT fiction, The Price of Salt that was published in 1952 under the pseudonym of Clair Morgan. The novel was later republished under the title of Carol (2015). It tells the story of a developing love affair between a young aspiring photographer Therese Belivet and an older privileged housewife Carol Aird who is going through a rather acrimonious divorce that involves the custody of her young daughter.
Set in New York City in the early 1950's it stars Cate Blanchett as socialite Carol Aird, Rooney Mara as Therese Belivet a role that raises her above the two dreadful films I had seen her in previously, namely The Social Network (2010) and the lame US remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in 2011. Also cast in important roles are Sarah Paulson and Kyle Chandler. The movie was directed by Todd Haynes who produced Meeks Cutoff (2010) and Wendy and Lucy (2008), and whose directorial credits include Velvet Goldmine (1998), Far From Heaven (2002) and I'm Not There (2007).
....which in turn bears down on Carol.
Haynes has elicited exceptional performances from both Blanchett and Mara from whose portrayal's one can feel the warmth that develops between the women radiating from the screen. This along with the beautiful 1950's clothes, superb cinematography by Edward Lachman who has previous with Haynes and a soundtrack by prolific film composer Carter Burwell, probable best known for his Coen Brothers scores, makes this a film not to be missed by anyone cinematically turned on by a good well written drama. Its just a shame that the movie was snubbed by the movie establishment and missed out on a Best Picture nomination at the Academy Awards - because of its subject matter?


WorldSkills Medallion of Excellence winner Dan Levings has been honoured at a special celebratory event in his honour.

He chose Highbury, which is an hour and a half away from his Gosport home, because of the College's involvement with WorldSkills and the quality of teaching as an OFSTED 'outstanding' college.


Contemporary Weight Loss Programs - Important Things You Need To Know — Guide for diet and weight loss tips!
Statistics show that there has been a continuous increase in the number of overweight Americans is the past 20 years. The same study shows that 60 percent of the US adult population is obese while the remaining 38 percent are trying to lose weight.
These facts triggered the rise of the different weight-loss drugs and fitness programs that offer quick-fix promise to the constantly expanding population of overweight individuals. Supplements that claim to effect weight loss in a matter of days or a few weeks have lured a lot of people into buying a "miracle" drug or subscribing to a certain exercise programs. However, contrary to what most manufactures claim to be real: a research revealed that 95 percent of all weight loss plans do not work.
A former staff nutritionist to the president of the United States pointed out three most notable red flags in current weight loss programs: dramatic, overnight and effortless. These claims often do not consider consumers' long term health and wellness in their weight loss program but merely on temporary loss of water weight. Losing water weight is good as nothing unless it is accompanied by substantial loss of body fats. As such, when one stops taking the supplement the body's water weight is restored. This puts an individual at risk of heart attack.
So what seems to be wrong with current weight loss programs? They don't stick to the basics of healthy diet and exercise.
There is no fast and easy way of losing weight. Exercise accompanied by a healthy lifestyle and discriminating sense in food is still the safest and reliable methods of getting those unwanted pounds away. Losing weight too quickly is dangerous. Shedding off more than two pounds a week is dangerous since it leads to dehydration, over-fatigue and worse, heart attacks. Exercise speeds the body's metabolism. This makes the body burn the food faster and when done regularly can contribute a lot in losing weight. The more exercise an individual gets the more fats he burn and consequently more lean mass is gained. In the process, circulation is also enhanced.
Education is a very important element of a healthy lifestyle. A strong understanding of the health, fitness and diet helps an individual come up with intelligent decisions about living a healthy lifestyle. Take for example what we know about nutrition: In the past 25 years or so, research has shown that ingestion of fat has significantly been lessened in the American diet. But how come obesity levels have been rising still? Our penchant for calorie-restricted diets has forced the body into starvation which has resulted in the storage of fat. Thus, what we need is not more fad; but an approach to eating marked by balanced nutrition and if needed, correct nutritional supplementation.
If you're looking for a fitness plan that will work, then always check for these two criteria; a healthy diet and exercise. No amount of calorie-restriction will work to keep the weight off for the long-term unless. While they do need time and a lot of effort; current weight loss programs that meets these requirements are the ones that can be implemented for the long-term. They are the ones that are sustainable and healthy.

But one of the sometimes unheralded benefits of our work is the time it saves our clients' team members in manually crunching data and building reports. This time savings might be hard to calculate as part of an official ROI study — but there's no question it has tremendous value.
In a recent case study about our work with Plum Organics, we share how we created a sophisticated supplier intelligence tool to help the company define the most cost effective and timely way to produce goods to meet channel demand. The solution included an Excel front end to input manufacturing data, cloud-computing resources (using AWS) where the data lived, a custom software script and a linear optimization algorithm and that could crunch the numbers and, ultimately, an automated production plan.
That production plan used to take team members a week to manually build – after implementing some nifty automation, it took only a few hours.
With a reliable, automated process in place, team members could use the expertise they were hired for and spend their valuable time solving business challenges — rather than building reports from scratch.

Q: Attributed text UILabel cut off in UICollectionViewCell but not in UITableViewCell Attributed text UILabel inside a UICollectionViewCell is cut off after scrolling (autolayout turned on).
Why does the same setup in a UITableViewCell is working fine. (the constraints / priority levels are identical as well)
Using a custom font & word wrap

A: Resolved it by providing the cell width for the UILabel property preferredMaxLayoutWidth minus possible offsets you are using in your layout.
self.yourUIlabel.preferredMaxLayoutWidth = CGRectGetWidth(self.bounds) - yourOffsets;

Found the answer here: http://johnszumski.com/blog/auto-layout-for-table-view-cells-with-dynamic-heights

Unveiling Canada's Role in Chile's Environmental and Political Conflicts
by Cyril Mychalejko / March 21st, 2012
A new report reveals the Canadian mining industrial complex's responsibility for social discord and environmentally-destructive policies in Chile's Patagonia region.
"Far away, on the southern cone of South America in Chilean Patagonia, exists one of the most beautiful, still-virgin territories on Earth. There, an intense struggle is taking place that most Canadians have never heard of, but that intimately involves the Canadian mining industry, the Canadian government, and millions of Canadian pensioners and investors," notes Council of Canadians chairperson Maude Barlow in the report's introduction.
The report, Chilean Patagonia in the Balance: Dams, Mines and the Canadian Connection, asserts that Canada's mining industry, which leads the world in mining investment with more than half of its assets in Latin America, accounts for 33 percent of electricity demand in Chile while advantageously exercising enormous influence in setting government policy there.
The report focuses on the Aysén region, which has seen protests and social discord since the announcement that the hyrdroelectric "development" plan would move forward last May. The project will potentially affect 12 of Aysén's major rivers and involve five dams on the Baker and Pascua Rivers.
The project, which also includes the construction of power lines from the Aysén region to Santiago, will cause the "deforestation of 23,000 hectares, and six national parks" and damage to "11 national reserves," reported The Guardian. The environmental nonprofit International Rivers has also indicated that the project would forcibly displace many families, would flood many of the area's best agricultural and ranching lands, and would endanger rare animal species.
The report states:
Transelec, the only transmission company currently operating in Chile that is even remotely capable of building HidroAysén's link to energy markets, is owned by a Canadian consortium led by Brookfield Asset Management, with partnership from the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and another public sector investor, the British Columbia Investment Management Corporation. Canadian capital is instrumental in making HidroAysén and projects like it both attractive and possible.
As many as 50,000 protesters marched in opposition to the project in May 2011, while the national daily La Tercera reported that 74 percent of Chileans oppose the project.
The HidroAysén dam project's Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), which was approved in May 9, 2011, has come under fire. According to Chile's Christian Democrat party Deputy Sergio Ojeda, chair of a congressional committee charged with investigating the EIA, it was riddled with flaws.
"It appears that the HidroAysén project should not have been approved," Ojeda told El Mercurio. "It is evident that the Environmental Impact Assessment suffers from a number of flaws that allow megaprojects like HidroAysén to not be evaluated with much rigor."
Social movements in the region and nationally across Chile have remobilized with demonstrations and roadblocks last month to not only protest the project, but to demand reforms to address other social and infrastructure problems.
"We have initiated a process of permanent and long-term demonstrations to trigger a change in the regional development that until now has focused essentially on the benefit of interests that do not belong to those who live in Aysén," wrote leaders of various constituencies that make up the Social Movement for the Aysén Region in a letter to the government, as the Santiago Times reported.
Protests were met with violence and repression, prompting Amnesty International to call for an investigation into reports of "an excessive use of [police] force, the unwarranted use of tear gas, the use of metal pellets and possible arbitrary arrests," according to the BBC. Meanwhile, Chilean President Sebastián Piñera recently threatened to apply the country's draconian anti-terrorism law toward protesters.
"By probing the links between Patagonian hydropower, electricity transmission, and the expanding mining sector, we hope to make Canadians stop and think about the implications of our shared investments abroad, and consider what obligations we might have to ensure that those investments are socially and ecologically sustainable," states the Council of Canadians' report.
Socially and ecologically sustainable business practices is something Canada's mining industry has had trouble upholding.
In July 2011 Greenpeace claimed that Barrick Gold's operations in northern Chile along the border with Argentina are responsible for the significant shrinking of three small glaciers, which farmers in the region rely on. Barrick initially wanted to remove the glaciers, but widespread opposition due to obvious environmental concerns stopped the plan. However, the Center for Human Rights and the Environment, an NGO from Argentina, reported that local water supplies have been contaminated as a result of Barrick's local projects.
"The media in Canada is fairly silent about protests happening in Chile, unless it ties into some other big news story. I've talked to some reporters that have admitted that they get so many stories about mining conflict that they barely even think that it qualifies as news anymore. … It's a great example of how cynicism promotes systemic injustice," said Sakura Saunders, editor of ProtestBarrick.net, a website that provides research and organizing information around mining issues. The site focuses on Canadian mining giant Barrick Gold.
The Council of Canadians' report also notes that in 2010 "five assassinations resulted from conflicts around Canadian mining developments in El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico." Part of the problem, the report states, is the Canadian government's "unwillingness to hold the Canadian extractive industry to basic environmental and human rights standards in its international operations."
A modest piece of legislation that would have empowered the federal government to investigate claims of human rights and environmental abuses and punish companies found guilty by withholding funding was rejected by Canadian legislators—even after receiving testimony that women were gang raped and tortured at a Canadian mine site in Papua New Guinea.
"We have to build a culture of resistance and awareness to these mining abuses. We have to reject these abuses in the strongest terms and demand action. We should investigate where our pensions and mutual funds are invested, and try to divest from mining companies such as Barrick and Goldcorp," added Saunders. "We have to share the many resources out there (like videos, articles, and books) with our neighbors and friends, and not be fooled by companies' promises for Corporate Social Responsibility."

Q: Where in the $\Sigma_α^β$ hierarchy does the problem of deciding a sentence in ZFC fall? Where in the hierarchy $\Sigma_α^β$ does the problem of deciding the truth value of a sentence in ZFC fall?

A: A sentence doesn't have a truth value in a theory (such as ZFC).  What you can ask about a sentence relative to ZFC is whether that sentence is provable or not provable in ZFC.
The question of whether a sentence is provable in ZFC is $\Sigma^0_1$; in other words, the set of provable sentences is recursively enumerable.

We had a nice, warm day last June for pictures however were taken by surprise by all the lifeguards training at the beach that we met at. It derailed our plans a bit but we were able to work around it and still have a fun morning.

Costs and Expenses. Except as provided in Sections 6 and 10 hereof with respect to taxes, the costs and expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by YUM and shall not be charged to any grant nor to any employee receiving a grant.
