Isaiah's message is about the reversal of fortunes for those who have been beaten down by life (which happens a lot, right?) Oppressed, captive, brokenhearted, mourners — that pretty much covers lots of the folks that will sit in our pews on any given Sunday, not to mention all those within a stone's throw of our front doors! God's work takes time and patience on our part — not to mention a bit of effort. Notice that it is the brokenhearted, et al, who actually do the work of rebuilding once God has lifted them up. And them is us.
Psalm 126 echoes the same idea — God restores the earth every season (winter, spring, summer, or fall.) Likewise, God restores our hope, our fortunes, our faith.
The "Magnificat" portion of Luke's gospel serves as an alternate psalm reading for this day. I refer you to the opening portion of today's podcast, Lectionary Lab Live, for some explanation of this.
Thessalonians gives us some practical ways to live out the Advent concept of "active waiting." Pretty much any one of us can find something on this list that we can be about.
The world's celebration of the Nativity of Christ is surrounded by song. No secular artist puts out a Thanksgiving CD or an Easter Album, but almost everybody tries to "cash in" on Christmas, either with new songs or old favorites. Christmas songs fill the Malls and Stores and Radio playlists from early November until Dec. 25. And the question arises: What is it about Christmas that causes the heart to sing?
It was like that from the beginning. In our reading from Luke's Gospel: Mary visits Elizabeth and breaks out in song – the Magnificat, elsewhere in Luke Zechariah celebrates the birth of his son John (to be called the Baptist) with a song that points to the birth of another child, the Coming One. The angels sing to the shepherds on the night of Christ's birth and at the dedication of the child old Simeon sees the baby and bursts into praise.
Again, what is it about Christmas that causes us to sing?
We have lots of good Easter hymns, but the non-church world is much more likely to know "Here Comes Peter Cottontail" than "Thine Is the Glory." But not so with Christmas Carols. Almost everybody can sing at least one verse of "Away In a Manger" or "O Little Town of Bethlehem" and can recognize the tune of a dozen more. Is it just the vast exposure on Radio and TV, or is there something about the Birth of the Christ Child that makes us want to sing?
First: the only really appropriate response to mystery is adoration, and what better way to adore than to sing. The story that we anticipate in Advent is a "something more" mystery. Underneath all the theological baggage and argumentation there is this for all of us: life can be very ordinary and difficult and painful and short and depressing. The birth of a child as the Son of God, a message from beyond that God does love us after all, that this world is not "all there is," that peace and love and joy are real and are really important and are really possible is a message we all need to hear.
So even those who have their doubts about God, and Jesus and the Church, often will themselves to believe in the "something more" that Christmas represents to them: the potential for good in a cold and lonely world. And that Mysterious Possibility is something to sing about.
Second; for those of us who receive the story as a true story, a story about how the God of the universe let go of all the trappings and power of Heaven to come and be born in a stable, taking on as the Eucharistic prayer says, "our nature and our lot," that too is a mystery beyond words. We cannot comprehend a love that big and that deep and that complete, and when ordinary words fail us, we, like Mary and Zechariah and Simeon and the angels; burst into song, for we have no other choice.

Meet at the Glenlivet Distillery car park where the walk starts and finishes. The walk takes in a gradual climb on the old smugglers trail along well marked tracks but can be muddy in places; a mixture of trail and road walking. It takes in the steep but short climb to Cairn Daimh summit, 570m and panoramic views of the surrounding countryside before descending into woodland and returning along road and track to the ruins of Blairfindy Castle to the distillery.

Illustrations and Text by Stan Washburn
An Astronomer gifted his son with an expensive telescope to encourage his fascination with the infinite grandeur of the skies. But the boy was already fascinated: the new girl next door. Just his age. Right there. No telescope required.
Moral: First things first.
A Beautician did what was possible, but her client left no tip, sulking that she'd had higher expectations. "Next time try a magician!" cried the beautician. She was instantly fired, but minutes later, stepping into the street, she laughed and clapped her hands and did a little dance right there on the sidewalk.
Moral: Sometimes it's worth it to say what's on your mind.
A Clairvoyant foresaw misery and disaster for certain of her clients, but hadn't the heart to tell them. Instead, she foretold sunny prospects of love and fulfillment. Her dishonesty troubled her, but the upside was that happy clients keep coming back, and she was raking it in. "It can't be all bad," she considered.
Moral: It gets tricky when you have a business to run.
A Diva, hugely inhaling, burst her bodice. The applause was thunderous. "I'm onto something," she thought, beaming generously. "I must speak to my dresser."
Moral: Pay attention to your audience.
An Entertainer, massaging the truth to punch up his routine, noticed that his audiences didn't quibble about facts so long as he delivered on hilarity. Which suggested a career in public office. He triumphed, thanks to his command of truthy entertainment, style and flash, smoke and mirrors.
Moral: And then we wonder why democracy is shaky.
A Farmer delighted in the intelligent and eager nature of his hogs. Then one day he tripped and fell among the creatures. They swarmed over him. Only fragments of his larger bones, well gnawed, were later found.
Moral: Reciprocity is not always a feature of relationships.
A Gourmand indulged himself prodigiously in all categories of food and drink. "You won't last long if you keep this up," intoned his physician. "C'est la vie," shrugged the gourmand, anxious not to miss his luncheon reservation.
Moral: It's good to die happy.
A Hunter, disconcerted by the gory presence of his kill, resolved never to hunt again. But he continued to eat meat, neglecting the fact that the decorous cuts he found at the butcher were simply gory kills perpetrated by somebody else.
Moral: A blind eye is to conscience as oil is to machinery.
An Idealist, brooding upon the world, concluded that as a practical matter the grossly imperfect is about as okay as things are likely to get. "So why struggle," she wondered—"unless things get even worse because I'm just sitting here." Eyes down, she devoted herself to hopeful causes.
Moral: You never know.
A Jester made the classic jester error of cracking a joke about the empress. She was not amused, and ordered him thrown into the dungeon; but he pointed out that she was getting the last laugh, so he had, in fact, given her amusement. Which she had to admit, and in fairness released him.
Moral: Humor is one of those subtle things.
A Kingmaker was suddenly struck with the conviction that he ought to be employing his clout in the public good rather than for low partisan ends. This stopped him. But then what? What is the public good? He had no idea. He'd never thought about it. And what about his reputation? And his livelihood? He poured himself a stiff one and stirred uneasily.
Moral: Ethical insight can lead you down a twisty road.
A Librarian was so unrelenting in her espousal of highfalutin books that people found it fatiguing to be around her. But one day she let slip that she kept a stash of murder mysteries and romances hidden under her bed, and loved them. Word got around, and her circle warmed to her.
Moral: You can only be so much better than your neighbors.
A Madam amused her girls with delicious accounts from the time of her own youth and beauty. As it happened, most of her tales were false, but nobody questioned happy flights of fancy that lightened the grueling spirit of a brothel.
Moral: Honesty isn't the only virtue.
A Nymph grew bored with a life of lolling about in romantic landscapes. She applied to law school, but the uproar when she arrived at her first lecture—in the nude, naturally, being a nymph—astonished her. The school manual, she pointed out, didn't mention clothes—and she was beginning to wonder whether the law could really be so very lofty a calling as everyone made out.
Moral: Nothing is quite as impressive up close.
An Ogre couple quarreled over issues of cuisine. She preferred their kills well done, while he insisted that they come to the table still bloody. But in time they grew tired of bickering, and turned vegan to neutralize the point of contention.
Moral: Life is easier if you can be a little flexible.
A Politician approached the Gates of Hell in very natural terror of the torments said to await predators like himself. But the fiends on duty greeted him cordially as a brother, and urged him to carry on Below just as he had Above.
Moral: It's warm to find yourself among kindred spirits.
A Queen groaned at the endless grand ceremonials and fancy weddings. She winced at the absurd immensity and gaudy vulgarity of her palaces. The ostentation of her royal carriages appalled her. On the other hand, everyone was polite to her, money was never a problem, and the food was good.
Moral: Learn to take the rough with the smooth.
A Recluse applied himself so compulsively to abstruse researches that his social life dwindled away to nothing. The intellectual lady down the hall was attracted to him, but she was immersed in arcana of her own, and between them they could never quite find the time.
Moral: Sometimes there's nothing to be done.
A Scholar promised his wife to thin out the endless jumble of books and papers cluttering their apartment. But before he got around to it, the bust of a philosopher, teetering on an insecure stack of journals, fell on his head, and his widow was left to clear away the mess.
Moral: Do it now.
A Tooth Fairy, after many happy years of whispering past sleeping munchkins to leave a treat under the pillow, worried that she was in a rut. But bending an elbow at the Fairy Bar, a colleague told her to relax. "I've done some pillow work on a fill-in basis," said she. "Love those kids. I'd get a transfer if I could."
Moral: Novelty isn't everything.
An Umpire found it depressing to be constantly yelled at. But he remembered those blood-curdling accounts of crowds in ancient Rome howling for the slaughter of innocents, gladiators, or anyone else who wound up in the arena. It soothed him after a game to ruminate on those stories—running his mind over the details—savoring them.
Moral: It's comforting to know you're not the only one.
A Voter, presented with a choice between two detested candidates, swore he wouldn't vote at all. But he'd always despised your namby-pamby non-voter. And of course, detestation is incremental: 49 percent is not as bad as 51 percent. Holding his nose, he marked his ballot for the slightly less detested option.
Moral: 49 percent is not as bad as 51 percent.
A Witch, tiring of her dreary traditional costume, whipped up something livelier—a little dash, a little skin, a little attitude. Warlocks loved it, and other witches saw that she was on to something. Her social life picked up wonderfully, and she had to move her coven to a more capacious ossuary.
Moral: Go for bold.
A Xylophonist, busking, noticed a famous promoter lingering near her for a long moment before passing on. She felt a great surge of hope: surely he would be back. Eagerly she played until dark and after dark and far into the night on the deserted street.
Moral: Hope sustains but does not enlighten us.
A Yachtsman, far from shore, ran his boat onto a rock. It began to sink. He was a renowned scientist, an admired social commentator, a fabled ladies' man; none of this was of present use to him. What he needed now was advanced swimming skills, which he'd neglected.
Moral: Attributes are valued according to circumstance.
A Zombie was bored chasing her diet of human brains and flesh, but of course this was all that preserved her from being entirely dead. She took to dating highbrow intellectuals so that, before dinner at any rate, she could enjoy a more stimulating social life than is generally experienced by those in her situation.
Moral: Sometimes it's hard to read new friends.

Guardian Letters: Family carers must get financial support
Mike Stein says kinship carers provide a strong family and cultural identity; Nina Lopez, Micheleine Kane and Kim Sparrow say mothers must be supported so that their children can stay with them; a kinship carer who wishes to remain anonymous has nothing but praise for his social services team; Stan Labovitch says the two-parent family is still the bedrock of society
Letters Sunday 10 December 2017 18.50
• Louise Tickle importantly identifies the legal barriers to kinship carers receiving financial support (Family carers need our help, 8 December). The statistics are stark. In 2017 only 6,310 (3.5%) of the 180,000 children in kinship care were legally entitled to financial and professional support. It is also of note that in England only 9% of "looked after" children are placed with kinship carers compared to just under half in Spain, and there is also the injustice of opportunity arising from great variations between English local authorities.
Research shows that kinship carers provide a strong family and cultural identity, the child not seeing themselves as "in care", and they stick with them through troubled times, even when lacking financial, practical and personal support. This evidence clearly suggests the urgent need for all kinship carers to receive legal recognition and resources as part of a continuum of preventative and care services for vulnerable children and their families.
Professor Mike Stein
• Finally, a call for financial support for kinship carers. We've campaigned for years to end the discrimination that pays strangers for foster care but not grandparents who often have to fight to stop children being adopted. But what about supporting mothers so children can stay with them? Women, 80% of whom are mothers, suffer 86% of austerity cuts, including benefit sanctions which drive thousands to food banks; 56% of single parents (overwhelmingly mothers) with jobs live in poverty; single-mother families are 47% of the statutory homeless and nearly three-quarters of families affected by the benefit cap.
Section 17 of the 1989 Children Act instructs local authorities to "promote the upbringing of children by their families" by "providing accommodation and giving assistance in kind or in cash". The Care Act 2014 entitles disabled mothers to extra help. Why are these entitlements rarely implemented? The 40% cut in "early intervention" highlighted by the shadow chancellor, John McDonnell, is not the only reason. An ideology of blaming mothers even for the domestic violence they suffer, devaluing the child-mother relationship regardless of its impact on children, promoting forced adoptions and privatisation of children services, has resulted in nearly 90,000 children in care (England and Scotland). In some working-class areas, 50% of children are being referred to social services.
In 2016, ruling against a forced adoption, the European court of human rights said that article 8 (respect for private and family life) placed the state under a "positive obligation" to keep families together. It blamed "public and private services provided by 'saviours'" for "child maltreatment and discrimination". Mothers and kinship carers picket London's family court every month demanding to be reunited with their children. They ask: when will they get the support they are legally entitled to?
Nina Lopez Support not Separation
Micheleine Kane Scottish Kinship Care Alliance
Kim Sparrow Single Mothers' Self-Defence
• I felt heartened by Louise Tickle's piece it because it highlighted the situation for some children and their carers. My wife and I are special guardians to our grandson, who is seven. He first came to us at Christmas 2010 at six months old after being in care for five months. At the age of five weeks he had suffered serious physical abuse by his father. One of his injuries was almost impossible to imagine, having one leg twisted until it snapped.
While many are quick to attack social services, I have nothing but praise for the local social services. They were helpful in any way they could be to us and were supportive throughout the process of obtaining special guardianship and after. While acting as a kinship carer for two other toddlers beforehand, I discovered that not all social services teams are as forthcoming.
Naturally, being a de facto new parent in advancing years is hard, but I can honestly say that it has been the most rewarding time of my life.
I agree that more should be done to enhance the status of kinship carer and special guardians, who do what they do not because of financial assistance – or assistance in any form, because in some cases there is none – but because they are good people trying to do what is right for the child.
Again, thank you, Ms Tickle, and I really do mean it.
Name and address supplied
• I agree with Louise Tickle that as an alternative to adoption, the relatives of vulnerable children should be offered funding and practical help if they can provide a home for them.
The fact remains, however, that the two-parent family is still the bedrock of society and its most cost-effective system of social care. In the long term, where possible, parents should be encouraged to stay together for the sake of their children.

A Beginner's Guide to Traveling Back in Time
By	John Oliver	Updated	June 03, 2016
Time travel is the concept of movement (such as by a human) between certain points in time, analogous to movement between different points in space, typically using a hypothetical device known as a time machine, in the form of a vehicle or of a portal connecting distant points in time.
Time travel is a recognized concept in philosophy and fiction, but traveling to an arbitrary point in time has a very limited support in theoretical physics, and usually only in conjunction with quantum mechanics or Einstein–Rosen bridges. In a more narrow sense, one-way time travel into the future via time dilation is a proven phenomenon in relativistic physics, but traveling any significant "distance" requires motion at speeds close to the speed of light, which is not feasible for human travel with current technology.
The concept was touched upon in various earlier works of fiction, but was popularized by H. G. Wells' 1895 novel The Time Machine, which moved the concept of time travel into the public imagination, and it remains a popular subject in science fiction.
Theory About Time Travel
Some theories, most notably special and general relativity, suggest that suitable geometries of spacetime or specific types of motion in space might allow time travel into the past and future if these geometries or motions were possible. In technical papers, physicists generally avoid the commonplace language of "moving" or "traveling" through time. "Movement" normally refers only to a change in spatial position as the time coordinate is varied. Instead they discuss the possibility of closed timelike curves, which are world lines that form closed loops in spacetime, allowing objects to return to their own past. There are known to be solutions to the equations of general relativity that describe space times which contain closed timelike curves, such as Gödel spacetime, but the physical plausibility of these solutions is uncertain.
Traveling faster than the speed of light
The use of cosmic strings and black holes
Wormholes and Alcubierre drive
Relativity predicts that if one were to move away from the Earth at relativistic velocities and return, more time would have passed on Earth than for the traveler, so in this sense it is accepted that relativity allows "travel into the future."

Summertime in Toronto is nothing but lively as locals and visitors, alike, try to maximize their time outside, making the most of the city's hopping patios, vibrant street festivals, and inviting parks and beaches. Here are some of our favourite reasons to hang out in Toronto during its sunniest season.
Home to Canada's largest Pride festivities, Toronto's celebrations have always been a big deal, now things are bigger and better thanks to the city's Pride Month, which launched in 2016. Events happen around the city throughout June, and they culminate with three days of street fairs, drag shows and marches.
There are few things better than a cold beer on a hot day. Luckily, Toronto is the city of breweries. Steam Whistle Brewing, Bellwoods Brewery, Great Lakes Brewery—there are more than 20 breweries within the city limits alone and most welcome visitors for tours and samplings. See how many you can pack into a weekend visit.
To beat the heat, Toronto has honed its pool party scene. For a party that rivals a Vegas dayclub experience, the chic Cabana Pool Bar delivers, with well-heeled crowds dancing to live DJ music. For a more low-key vibe, the pool at the Radisson Admiral Hotel (open to non-guests for a fee) offers great people-watching and poolside cocktails.
It technically has a few islands, but Centre Island is the place to go. Known locally as "Toronto Island," Centre Island is the largest urban car-free community in North America—accessible only by ferry—and it's packed with amenities. Kids love the Centreville Amusement Park for its waterslides and mini-golf, while Ward's "Island" beach, on the easternmost point, is popular with sunbathers. On the western side, Hanlan's Point has volleyball courts, baseball diamonds and fire pits. No matter which spot you choose, there's something pretty cool about standing waist-deep in Lake Ontario and looking up at the CN Tower from a different angle.
Drink craft beer, lounge in the sun and shop like a local. This is the essential things-to-do guide for a summer in Ontario's cottage country.


2019 Toyota Supra Price Estimated Price & Tokyo Auto Show – In collaboration together with the BMW firm, Toyota created and created new sporting activities coupes. It turned into a whole new era in the impressive Supra design. 2019 Toyota supra price shows up inside the very first quarter of 2018. On one side, the business has introduced the specification on this motor vehicle. Nonetheless, several information relevant to this automobile remains unfamiliar.
Earlier launched Toyota Feet-1 Concept (2014), it dished up for a statement to the Serial Supra product. It was then acknowledged that Toyota was prepared to make a new sports activities coupe. Also, it was identified that Toyota is concentrating on a joints venture using the BMW firm. Being a product or service of the partnership, the latest era of BMW Z4 roadster designs, plus the 2019 Toyota supra price, show up. That which was not obvious is really what the brand new Toyota coupe is going to take. The challenges are fixed. That old Toyota Supra product has handed down a fresh product with the same title.
Ultimately, it continues to be to be noticed the actual way it may be like the development product. There is undoubtedly a growing number of details in this particular discipline. Notably, the exam car trial samples could be discovered having a more small level of hiding on by itself. Also, it is practically specific what is going to be underneath the hood in the new Toyota Supra, plus the transmission how the car will make use of.
Generally, the 2019 Supra might be a quite quick and light-weight version. Following individuals from your business, the auto may have significantly less body weight than competing versions, provided by Porsche and Alpine, and also other firms. Along with the smaller sized bodyweight, the brand new supra will likely be very quickly, achievable and by the end humorous sporting activities coupe.
Beneath the hood will likely be two 4-tube 2.-liter turbo motors. There may be one more variation that mentions a 3.-liter generate a model. There are two options right here. Or else you will look for a Lexus V6 Twin Turbo engine, or possibly a 3.-liter 6-tube turbocharged turbo engine in the BMW Z4. This edition, with BMW's driver, will provide about 350 hp. As well as this, it can be talked about and presented a hybrid version of the new design. Nonetheless, this variation is going to be supplied at some point in the future.
Numerous views about choosing gearboxes for that new product sprang out. Notably, 2019 Toyota supra price will provide only automatic transmission. Alternatively, the latest BMW Z4 will likely give you a guidebook gearbox. A number of the fanatics in this sort of vehicle had been extremely vital on this choice of your firm. Such as, traditionalists think that this kind of design needs to be given a handbook gearbox. Even so, not one of them, a minimum of right now.
The two previous versions, the 2019 Toyota supra price along with the new BMW Z4 will talk about the identical system. Nevertheless, each one of these producers will provide their particular developer style on their product. Although you will still find a great deal of hiding to analyse specimens, that have been seen on the Nürburgring, some information can be viewed.
The top of your automobile is protected by using a large fender. Enormous atmosphere intakes are apparent onto it. Also, considerably a lot less hide is located in the very last lighting team, so its design is seen. Even so, precisely what is greatest viewed may be the design and outlines of your automobile. In general, this can be a healthy and eye-catching sporting activities coup.
Regrettably, the style and specifics of the interior of your car will be the largest unfamiliar. Nevertheless, there may be information and facts that detail to a few data on the interior. Much more specifically, the weather handles switches, and also the infotainment method will probably be lent in the BMW Z4.


Parish councillors are volunteers and are not paid a salary for their work. Some parish councils pay an allowance, but Leighton-Linslade Town Councillors do not receive any allowance other than the very occasional reimbursement of expenses such as mileage. By law, all members of the Council are required to complete a declaration of interest form, the details of which are published annually.


This issue is about rare, special things that come about once in a lifetime, like this issue. It's also about other rare things I know about, like beauty and love. I know about beauty from when I looked in the mirror for the first time. I thought, "I need a word to describe the opposite of what I am seeing." I learned about love when I looked up the word "lope" in the dictionary while writing a diary entry about when I saw a tall, thin dog running.
This issue is about how beautiful the Grand Canyon looks as you're diving into it.
You might think that because of the nature of time, every moment is unique, meaning that all of reality is in fact rare and special. Of course, yes, I have thought of this too. I did not copy that sentence from an Internet forum. But to think that everything is special and beautiful requires a cheerful, optimistic worldview that I do not have. I think everything is bad.
Anyways, this issue is about diamonds. That's it. They say diamonds are a girl's best friend, which explains why I have no real friends, but doesn't explain why I also have no diamonds. They say that a dog is a man's best friend, but that doesn't explain why I saw a man and a dog arguing at a bus station last week. They say that this Vanitas is too repetitive, but that doesn't explain why they say that this Vanitas is too repetitive.
As you may have intuited, this issue will be divided into five thematic parts: "Once," which is about things that happen one time, "In," which is about things inside of other things, "A," which is about the last letter of the alphabet, Z, "Blue," which details the origin story of the Blue Man Group, and "Reflections," which is about the victories, defeats, and little surprises from my time growing up in the Harvard Lampoon.

Suicide and child protection
The transition into adulthood can be tough for most. It is especially hard for teenagers with a complex history of trauma, abuse and neglect. In their annual report for 2010, the NSW Child Death Review team found that young people known to Family and Community Services (FACS) were 4.9 times more likely to commit suicide than young people without a child protection history. Working with young people who self-harm or who are suicidal is extremely challenging but, when done well, can be extremely rewarding.
Brief facts
On average, suicide risk accounts for 2.5 per cent of Risk of Significant Harm (ROSH) reports. Although suicide is a rare event, it can and does occur, with devastating impacts.
Since 2009, 34 young people known to FACS have died as a result of suicide.
Males accounted for 62 per cent of suicide deaths and females 28 per cent.
Aboriginal young people made up over a quarter (26 per cent) of suicide deaths.
Most deaths occurred in the 13–17 year age group.
Most young people died by hanging.
Suicide is a complex phenomenon that generally results from a combination of individual, social and environmental factors. The young people who died from suicide had a history of risk-taking behaviour, had previously attempted suicide, were living with a mental illness or with a parent who had a mental illness and there had been a previous suicide in the family.
While these risk factors are well known, the circumstances surrounding each death and the reasons why they ended their life varies. FACS reviews of suicide deaths identified three key groups:
young people with ongoing and serious complex needs who had multiple agency and practitioner involvement
young people who had some difficulty but not necessarily identified as being at risk
young people for whom there were no signals or red flags that they required assistance.
Besides those with complex needs, very few of the young people talked about suicide or their intent to suicide in advance.
Precipitating events prior to the suicide were common regardless of whether the young person had well known risk factors or not.
Practice issues and missed opportunities arising from reviews of suicide deaths
Several practice issues have emerged from our reviews of suicide deaths including:
incident-based assessment – a significant amount of information was recorded however a focus on a particular incident overshadowed the cumulative risk of suicide for the young person
the lack of child-focused assessment – opportunities to engage with children were missed and parents' account of the situation was the main information used to inform assessments
case allocation, planning and review – the number of ongoing reports signified the need for a case review but despite this some families 'limped along' between crises
case closure – cases were closed without child protection concerns being fully addressed. This included not checking if referral services were taken up or if the services helped the family to address the identified needs
cultural considerations – there were limited cultural consultations in cases involving Aboriginal young people and their families.
Key learning from our review work
Our review work identified key lessons and opportunities for improving practice including:
understanding the lived experience of young people
the importance of talking to young people and being curious about how they are feeling, how they are coping and the nature and impact of their trauma to understand their vulnerability
the importance of empathy in building good relationships to understand and engage with young people – this involves placing yourself in their shoes
empathetic workers do a better job of helping people change
being empathic assists in recognising young people's strengths and hopes
many young people will test a practitioner's empathy – they test us to see if we will let them down because this is what they have experienced and come to expect from those around them
young people value practitioners who stick with them
working with young people and building empathetic relationships involves compromise, flexibility and being pragmatic.
Engage with young people
* Young people need to be placed at the centre of child protection practices.
* To keep young people safe it is vital we connect and invest time working with their family, friends and other people who play a significant role in their lives.
* The relationship between a practitioner and a young person is important but it needs to be reinforced by the child protection system.
* When a child enters our system, we understand and treat them as a victim of child abuse and neglect. However, if they act out during adolescence they are often perceived and treated as a problem – our understanding and focus has shifted.
* Rather than seeing a young person's 'risky behaviour' as a problem, we need to think about the root cause of their behaviour. Are the child protection issues that once caused a young person to be considered a victim of neglect or abuse still evident?
* We need to re-examine the safety of the young person and build a system of safety and support around that young person.
Addressing risk
* Understanding and preventing suicide for young people is our ultimate aim.
* To do this it is crucial that practitioners work collaboratively and purposefully.
* Working purposefully involves being clear about how and why we are working with families and young people.
* Working collaboratively involves building connections and sharing information about a young person and their family between different agencies, especially across mental health, education and hospital emergency departments.
* Young people need practitioners to be flexible, work differently and mobilise support from the community.
* If the rules are not keeping a young person safe it may be necessary to break, bend or work outside the rules.
* Building strong and trusting relationships lies at the heart of working with young people at risk of suicide.
* Ask simple questions: 'Where do you want to meet?' 'Where and when do you want to talk?' Young people need to fit you into their timetable.

Koray Savas posted a topic in General Discussion
I mentioned this over in the Skyfall review thread, but wanted to create a new thread for discussion as the film goes through production. Apparently, Mendes is 75% sure he'll return to direct, and is waiting for the final script to be turned in. Craig, Fiennes, Harris, and Wishaw are all signed on to reprise their respective roles. If Mendes returns, surely we'll get Deakins and Newman again as well. This has suddenly become one of my most anticipated films.
Happy Birthday to Thomas Newman!

The Help Me Like Thomas Snoozeman's Music Thread
BLUMENKOHL posted a topic in General Discussion
As you all know, and if the thread title doesn't clue you in, I don't like Thomas Newman's music. It's all ambient and sparkly but it rarely has that underbelly of substance that I want from my music. It's part of what I like about John Williams. Even in his most cheery and sparkly pieces, he writes with a darker (almost sad?) voice, a fullness, and weight you don't get elsewhere. It's the same case with Jerry Goldsmith. Yet you all seem to love this Snoozeman fellow. I can't seem to connect the line from Williams fandom to Snoozeman fandom. So your mission, should you choose to accept it,

SCORE: The Good German (Thomas Newman)
Incanus posted a topic in JWFan Reviews
The Good German Music by Thomas Newman A review of the soundtrack album by Mikko Ojala The Good German by Thomas Newman is a strangely compelling listening experience and a younger composer's journey in the footsteps of his father and the other great masters of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Thomas Newman was to my mind an unlikely candidate to score this Steven Soderbergh's reverent homage to the film noir genre but he pulled it off with convincing panache and skill. Here he seems to channel the past masters in style but still retains his own unmistakable touch sound

How To Style Long Hair Quickly Is one sort of hairstyle. A Hairstyle, or haircut identifies the styling of locks, usually on the individuals scalp. Sometimes, this may also signify an editing and enhancing of beard mane. The fashioning of scalp can be viewed as an element of personal grooming, fashion, and beauty products, although practical, ethnic, and popular factors also affect some hairstyles.

Almost 12 million U.S. jobs have been created post recession–and virtually all have gone to workers with at least some college according to a report released Thursday by the Georgetown Center on Education and the Workforce. The chart below tells the whole story.
People with at least a bachelor's degree now make up 36 percent of the workforce, the largest share on record. Those with a high school diploma but no college education make up 34 percent of the working population, while people who have taken some college classes comprise the remaining 30 percent.
Authors Anthony P. Carnevale, Tamara Jayasundera, and Artem Gulish note the post-recession radical recomposition of the American workforce–for the first time four-year college graduates comprise a larger share of the workforce than those who got a high school diploma but don't have a college degree.
Graduate degree holders gained 3.8 million jobs, bachelor's degree holders gained 4.6 million jobs, and associate's degree holders gained 3.1 million jobs, compared to workers with a high school diploma or less, who added only 80,000 jobs.
Workers with at least some postsecondary education now make up 65 percent of the total employment. Bachelor's degree holders now earn 57 percent of all wages.
Among industries, consulting and business services added the largest number of jobs in the recovery (2.5 million).
Office and administrative support positions, the largest occupational group in the American economy, lost 1.4 million jobs during the recession and recovery because of the rise in digital information storage and automation, the report said. These jobs were a primary source of work for people with limited education, which is why the disappearance of this work is hitting that population so hard, Carnevale said.
"Workers with a high school diploma or less must attain postsecondary credentials if they want to compete effectively in growing high-skill career fields," conclude the authors.

The program runs, but the song I have entered does not appear in the ListView (and the Song class does have a toString method).
What can I do?

A: The issue was that the Controller's wasn't being initialized as the asker of the question expected.
The operation of the FXMLLoader in Java 8 is a little weird.

*

*If you define a no-parameter initialize() method in your Controller and don't implement the Initializable interface, then the FXML loader will still automatically invoke the initialize method.

*If instead, you define a parameterized public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) method in your Controller, then the FXML loader will not automatically invoke the initialize method unless your controller also implements the Initializable interface.
As the code in the question was using a parameterized initialize method and not also implementing Initializable, the initialization was not occurring.

The parameterized initialize method should be replaced in FXML by injection of the parameters via @FXML annotation, for more details see:

*

*What is "automatic injection of location and resources properties into the controller" in JavaFX?
@FXML
private ResourceBundle resources;

@FXML
private URL location;

A: If I see correctly, you actually don't use the URL and the ResourceBundle parameters in you initialize() method.
If the URL is the path to your fxml file, and the ResourceBundle contains internatonalization properties for your GUI, then you should define your initialize() method without parameters, but annotated with @FXML. The URL and the ResourceBundle should be passed to the FXMLLoader.
Like
FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(URL, rb);

and
@FXML
private void initialize() { ... }

This way initialize() will be automatically invoked.

A: I needed to implement Initializable to the class and add an @Override before calling the method.

Between stressors they already faced long before COVID-19 — including inadequate pay and long hours of grading and lesson-planning — and new pressures to keep students on pace regardless of whether they're learning at home or school, some teachers are moving on from education sooner than they anticipated, or at least contemplating their departure.
Nearly 70% said their anxiety grew worse and 56% of teachers responded that they had thought about leaving the profession more than three times in a year, said Manzanares, who boiled Alamosa teachers' mental health down into one word: "fatigued."

Dance Masters: Jerome Robbins
Dance Master for December is Jerome Robbins!
"Give me something to dance about and I will dance it." Jerome Robbins
Mr. Robbins was an American choreographer, director, dancer, and theater producer who worked in classical ballet, on Broadway, and in films and television. Some of the stage productions he worked on were On the Town, Peter Pan, High Button Shoes, The King And I, The Pajama Game, Bells Are Ringing, West Side Story, Gypsy: A Musical Fable, and Fiddler on the Roof. He was a five-time Tony award winner and a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors. He received an Academy Award for Best Director with Robert Wise for West Side Story.
All though I never had the privilege or opportunity to meet or work with him, his work greatly impacted and inspired me as an artist! However, he was the mentor to two of my dance mentors–both Dance Master geniuses in their own right: Alan Johnson and Jaime Rogers.
Here is a short video about him that I enjoyed very much and think will give you a wonderful feel for the man and the artist! Enjoy!
