Welcome to JESS Dubai! Thank you for joining our team, we look forward to working with you. This guide is intended to give you an idea of some of the fundamentals of how we work and the systems we work with.
Please report any site related issues to the Facilities team. They have a helpdesk which can be contacted at facilities@jess.sch.ae Please ensure that Facilties are 'invited' to any activity around the school which you may be planning and will require any set up of tables/ chairs or gates opened or closed.
IT - Who should you see for what? Technical Issues (Hardware / Software failure) For any IT technical problems (hardware / software failure) you should send a request via e-mail to the IT Helpdesk (helpdesk@jess.sch.ae). Do not call the technicians on their personal mobile numbers or go to the helpdesk unless it is absolutely vital. Note: If your e-mail is not working then you may call or visit the helpdesk directly. Categorise your helpdesk request with the 'Level of Impact' in accordance with the table below. This helps the technicians to prioritise the most urgent requests.
Network Security & Integrity Passwords This is fundamentally the only way you can ensure no-one has access to your personal area. All users are prompted at their very first logon to change their password. It is important you change your password from the default password to something more secure. Passwords must be a minimum of 8 characters and should contain a mix of letters and numbers. You will be required and prompted to change your password at least once a term.
Virus protection software The school runs Symantec Anti-Virus software which automatically checks for viruses on external devices plugged into the network. Staff are asked to be vigilant when transferring information between home and school. Please ensure your home computer has anti-virus software if you are using it for work that will be transferred to school. Please see the IT Services department for further information if you are unsure how to install anti-virus software. Note: If your memory stick / external hard drive does not open as expected through My Computer try right click, explore to open. Internet filtering For those new to Dubai, the internet filtering provided by the service provider in the UAE is very high in comparison to those in other countries. As a result you may find you do not have access to some pages you might normally have access to in other countries eg. The National Lottery – which might be used for probability in Mathematics is banned as it is associated with gambling which is illegal in the UAE. If you have problems accessing any web pages, please send a request via e-mail to the IT Helpdesk (IT Services) as it maybe that the website is available in the UAE but just blocked inside school by the monitoring software.
Saving Files All areas of the school are now working predominantly from sharepoint sites to enable collaborative working and you will have been allocated access to the relevant areas for your role. SharePoint: Access to SharePoint is via a web browser and the URL http://mail.jess.sch.ae You can access SharePoint by clicking the SharePoint icon on your dashboard.
One of the most useful sections to access on SharePoint for new staff is the JESS Staff Handbook shown below. This can be accessed via the Admin site on SharePoint.
Note: It is advisable to setup a folder structure to keep your information organised on ONE DRIVE just as you would on your local storage drive, a flash drive or your home computer.
Planning for Trips and Events In addition to the Staff Handbook you should familiarise yourself with the Internal Events planning page (accessed via the staff handbook). These pages contain helpful information for booking/planning events.
and the External Conferences, Trips and Events page.
Select the MAIL icon to access your school e-mail.
If Yes, who & how many?
Refreshments please specify Tea, coffee and water please set up on table at back end of venue.
Laptop 2 microphones Projector extension lead Sound system for back up music Please ensure a technician is available prior to start and throughout event.
If you do not have permissions for booking a room please check with the relevant school PA who should be able to make a booking for you.
The School Website The school website contains general information on all three JESS Schools and can be accessed via www.jess.sch.ae. The external school website is maintained and managed on a daily basis by the Marketing Department.

If you can't remember your username, please email parentportal@jess.sch.ae). If you can't remember your password, use the 'I have forgotten my password' link from the log-in page. N.B. You use the same username and password for both the portal and the app. Remember that your username will be an email address.

instance. Once uploaded, edit entries individually to publish to additional calendars.
Shared email templates in iSAMs Shared email templates are a very efficient way of communicating with parents and groups of students. To ensure we manage the list of shared templates efficiently please use the following categories when creating a new shared template: a. PRI – at the start of any primary only templates b. JUM – at the start of any Jumeirah templates c. SEC – at the start of secondary only templates and d. SIX – at the start of 6th templates e. DEB – at the start of any debenture related templates f. HEALTH - at the start of any Health Office templates g. GOV – for any Ministry /PSC / KHDA related templates h. ADM – for anything admissions related i. OTH – for anything else. If a template is only used by one person please save this to your own Email templates rather than the shared and delete templates that are no longer required.
When you need to contact the group you go into pupil manager and select Custom Groups. You can then select your trip group and send them all an email using the email wizard.
Links to other systems: School Interviews Is used for booking parents evenings, school clubs and school tours. Each PA/ Administrator manages their own account with the receptionists managing the school tours. The login page is: https://www.schoolinterviews.co.uk/login?z=bdiy6E You will then need a separate username and password for each instance.
Access Control At Arabian Ranches Staff have access throughout the site by tapping their JESS ID card on the access control points. These are located: • Main reception • Car Park entry doors (and the car park barrier) • Student entry point at Gate 2 • Field entry point at Gate 5 • Turnstile by the shopping centre(Gate 7) • Rear door to admin block • Oasis Door in admin block • Third Floor of admin block • English office There are a few rooms controlled by separate access arrangements and IT will be able to give you access to these areas if required eg: Lecture theatre, ICT rooms.
Printing / Photocopying / Scanning Printing is managed by the Administration department and all staff are issued with a staff card which is used for accessing the printers / photocopiers / scanners. HR should provide you with this card. Secure printing is available which means the printout will not be released until you release the job using your card at one of the printers around the school. The main printers are located in the reprographics room and in the ICT corridor. The printers can also be used to scan in documents. Instructions on how to scan are located at the printers. Note: Please send large printouts to the reprographics room, as these machines are the heavy-duty printers.
Login using your jess email and pasting your temporary password, then create a new password; your new password must be 8-20 characters in length, please use at least one capital letter, and at least 1 number or special character.
You need to check your details and add a few more.
Run Entro watch report for Sixth Form OFF site Ian to check if missing any sixth form students who may be off site.
Finance Most of the forms you might need (or might need to direct teaching staff to) are available on the staff handbook page of sharepoint. The dates for submission of petty cash claims, supply payments etc are issued by finance at the start of each academic year and are published on the finance page of sharepoint. Please make sure that you are aware of these deadlines at the start of the year.
Timeframes you should be aware of for finance. Salary is due on the last day of each month but usually paid a bit earlier. Payments are made by direct bank transfer. Petty cash is usually paid towards the middle of the month for claims correctly authorised and submitted to finance ahead of the published deadlines. Supply salaries are paid at the end of the month by separate bank transfer. Payments are completed once a week, usually on a Tuesday. To be included in the payment run invoices must be signed off by the appropriate Head Teacher and submitted to Finance by the end of the preceding Sunday.
Outside Hire of JESS sites Both JESS sites are hired out to companies and groups after school. This process is managed by the Site Administrator.

ONE OF A KIND LOVE AFFAIR
Is it possible that Zalman Kastel, a Brooklyn born Orthodox rabbi is a disciple of the Gospel Matthew? "You have heard it said: Love your neighbor but hate your enemy, but I tell you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." Rabbi Kastel, together Pastor Brad Chilcott, national director of Welcome to Australia, is heading a campaign that is aimed at bringing Islamic jihadists around to love Christians and Jews.
Perhaps it would do well for Rabbi Kastel to realize that now is not the time. But then again, had this been 70 years ago, perhaps Rabbi Kastel would have launched a campaign aimed at bringing Germans around to love Jews. The time to bring Muslims, let alone Islamic jihadists around to loving Christians and Jews is after the cessation of hostilities. And it may very well happen, that that day may never come, at least not in the foreseeable future.
Perhaps Rabbi Kastel might take a moment to ponder why no Imam outside of the Middle East, has ever spoken out against the crimes against humanity that his fellow clergy are committing, as they urge their adherents to wage war against the infidels and slaughter the Jews, or at the very least why no Imam outside the Middle East has ever come to any Rabbi in friendship?
Perhaps Rabbi Kastel might wish to recall that Judaism is a religion that promotes personal responsibility. Yet, responsibility does not seem to be part of Arab culture. If Arab leaders were truly responsible to their people, then their people would not be living in squalor. If Hamas were truly responsible to their people, even if Hamas were still consumed with their irrational desire to obliterate Israel along with all the Jews in it, then instead of using the concrete given to them by other countries to build tunnels, Hamas would have used that same concrete to build bomb shelters to protect their people.
If Rabbi Kastel truly believes in the efficacy of love, then perhaps he might urge, or better yet suggest that Imams send condolence letters and care packages to the families who have sustained losses, thanks to Hamas putting them in harm's way by using them as human shields.
Perhaps Rabbi Kastel may one day come to the sane realization, that while he expends his energies in the hope of love conquering all, Hamas will be expending its energies in conquering and obliterating the Zionist state that has no right to exist.

Vikings fans will want to fire Mike Zimmer even more after his explanation for Lions loss
Vikings fans who want Minnesota to fire Mike Zimmer won't feel much different after his explanation for Sunday's inexplicable loss to Detroit.
When will the Minnesota Vikings fire Mike Zimmer? Not soon enough if you ask fans reeling after an inexplicable walk-off loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
Minnesota came back from a 20-6 deficit to lead the Lions 27-23 with less than 10-seconds left in the game. In an alternate universe, the Vikings stop Jared Goff's last throw of the game and leave Detroit with a victory and a place in the NFC playoff picture.
Unfortunately for Vikings fans in this universe, the Lions scored a touchdown as time expired to win their first game since 2020 and Goff's first game without Sean McVay as his head coach. It's a terrible — and unfair — streak that died on Sunday but the uglier death was suffered by the Vikings season.
The loss is essentially a season-ender for the Vikings, who were already clinging to life in the playoff picture. A loss sinks Minnesota to 5-7 and out of the playoff picture. Adding to the pain was the loss of Adam Thielen to an ankle injury, with starting running back Dalvin Cook already out with a shoulder injury.
Simply put, things are bad in Minnesota and there might not be any coming back from this.
1 Fire Mike Zimmer chants will only get louder after Vikings blow game to Lions
Fire Mike Zimmer chants will only get louder after Vikings blow game to Lions
Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer was understandably salty after the loss, but the explanations he offered up to questions about what exactly the hell happened won't inspire much confidence in Vikings fans.
#Vikings coach Mike Zimmer: "You play all these close games. … That's just the way the NFL is."
— Chris Tomasson (@christomasson) December 5, 2021
That's both obvious and the last thing Vikings fans want to hear.
Zimmer's seat was already hot coming into Sunday's game, and the number of Vikings fans who would be upset if he were to be left in Michigan is fewer than both the games left in the season and the number of wins Zimmer has produced this year.
Add to that the number of playoff wins, Super Bowl appearances, and victories.
The writing has been on the wall for a while when it comes to Zimmer's future in Minnesota, and Sunday's loss might be a final nail in the coffin. Regardless of the Vikings chances of making the playoffs, Zimmer's teams have lost their luster and it feels like change is both needed and going to happen.
It might be time for the Vikings — a habitual band-aid franchise — to blow things up and start over in a way it rarely has before.

Not being a Luftwaffe expert I will leave you more knowledgeable folk out there to judge whether this is going to be a hit or not, but bare in mind these are test shots.

Bentley Bentayga Speed due to be launched this year
650bhp 6.0-litre W12-powered Lamborghini Urus rival will be unveiled in the coming months, bringing more power and added luxury
Bentayga Speed will benefit from engine and chassis revisions
Bentley will crown its Bentayga range with a flagship Speed version later this year, aiming to deliver the ultimate balance of performance and luxury in an SUV package.
Revealed: Bentley Bentayga Speed is world's fastest SUV
Set to be unveiled in the first half of this year and go on sale soon after, the Bentayga Speed will adopt the firm's twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre W12 petrol engine. A mixture of hardware and software changes will boost torque and power from 600bhp to 650bhp.
Autocar understands that will translate to a top speed of 190mph and a sub-four-second 0-62mph sprint time. This will be achieved not only through more power but expected revisions to the car's eight-speed automatic gearbox. For comparison, the 631bhp Lamborghini Urus – with which the Bentayga shares much of its underpinnings – tops out at 189mph and is capable of 0-60mph in 3.6sec.
The Speed's focus won't just be on beating its Italian sibling on the straights, however. There will be revisions to the standard Bentayga's chassis to give the SUV more of a performance character, without impacting negatively on comfort levels. There won't be a reduction in mass: a kerb weight nearly identical to the existing W12's 2.44 tonnes is likely.
That's because Bentley is targeting the Speed as the pinnacle of the Bentayga range in every sense. As such, expect interior trim and upholstery enhancements bespoke to the Speed, while subtle exterior design upgrades in line with the previous Continental GT Speed will feature.
In terms of pricing, Autocar anticipates the Bentayga following the cost structure of previous Speed models. The car's £165,000 price tag will therefore be boosted to around £185,000, before customers have entertained Bentley's vast array of options and customisation choices.
The big-in-every-way Bentley SUV lands. We assess the impact of this most luxurious of luxury SUVs, which has few direct rivals with which to compare
Following the launch of the Speed, the long-awaited Bentayga plug-in hybrid variant will finally go on sale with deliveries commencing in October.
The production car was unveiled at the 2018 Geneva motor show, but delays caused by WLTP testing capacity have pushed the launch back a year later than expected. The Bentayga Hybrid uses an electric motor mated to a turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine, shared with the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid.

Six new Bentleys to look out for by 2021
Exclusive first interview with Bentley boss Adrian Hallmark
Peter Cavellini
Is it needed...?
More power?, why! just because a rival has?!, more power might add a few mph to the top speed, a few tenth of the 0-60, 0-100mph, not going to make that much difference, the owner won't notice much too,and after all the best bit about Cars like this is the quiet serenity inside, being able to just waft along on a gentle wave of torque, more power is pointless in my view.

More power? why?... Because customers want it and will pay for it. I bet it doesn't cost Bentley £20k to squeeze another 50 bhp out of the engine, so profit margines probably increase too. I, like you would prefer to waft in silence, but I don't think we speak for the majority.
"Pressurised container: May burst if heated"
Your post clearly shows your inability to understand the mindset of those wealthy enough and beyond to buy this particular model, even on a whim. As it does not concern you and your irrelevant objections, best let all those who applaude and support this brand get on with it and you keep quiet.

Bentley has become a mess
Bentley has become a mess sadly under VAG ownership with its vehicles now clones of other VAG models. The switchgear in this car is lifted out of Audi's like the steering wheel - it's basic architecture is quite clearly that of the Audi A3...
At least under BMW ownership to a degree Rolls Royce still looks unique inside and out with bespoke parts and chassis.

Barometric or atmospheric pressure is used to determine a pressure system and therefore often part of an Automatic Weather Station (AWS). A measurement range of 800..1100 hPa is commonly used in order to gain the highest accuracy (highest barometric pressure ever recorded on Earth was 1094 hPa measured in Agata on 31 December 1968). While for some applications (stations on very high altitudes).
Observator can supply barometric pressure sensors with a lower range down to 600 hPa. In order to reduce the wind effects the pressure sensor can be connected to a so called pressure port in case ventilation to the outside air is necessary.

Hi. I've been having a bit of a blog and card making break. This weekend I decided to sit down and make a card and I really enjoyed it. Hopefully this is just the start. Not sure what happened but the mojo was gone big time.
Love your card and the textural dots really make it !! I have also become your latest blog follower !
Love your card Tracy! I know the feeling when the mojo is missing, but yours has come back with a bang! I can see how the mood board inspired your project - the very soft colour of the embossing paste is beautiful with the baby blue flowers and sentiment:) So glad you could join us at Scrapbook Boutique this month - come back again soon!
Tracy I love those sweet Altenew flowers and this card is a perfect combo of colour and texture for our Scrapbook Boutique mood board this month. Hope the mojo is sticking around for you. Cheers!
Beautiful card, Tracy! Thanks for sharing with us at the Color Throwdown this week!
What a fab mix of techniques and texture Tracy - super make!
Even though there is quite a lot going on in your card, keeping most of it in white shades has made it feel CAS. Lovely texture on the background.
Welcome back! I hear you with the mojo thing, I had a struggle for a while too, but kinda back on track now lol. Love your gorgeous card, especially the layered sentiment, it totally packs a punch. So glad you could share with us at Scrapbook Boutique!

« Hub and Spoke: Where Does God Fit In Our Lives? [Excerpt] | Main | When "Weird Stuff" Starts to Happen [Excerpt] »
Listen to the Story of the Bible with THE STORY (NIV)
What's the story of the Bible?
Don't sweat it if you can't answer. It's one of the toughest questions I know.
It's a tough question because the story of God's work to form, sustain and redeem Creation is the biggest, grandest, wildest, most challenging, rewarding, and sometimes most confusing story I know.
This is why I like The Story. It presents the big story of God's work as one seamless narrative, like a novel. The Story uses the NIV translation of the Bible to reveal the biblical storyline chronologically, from Genesis through Revelation. The Bible's stories, poems and teachings are woven together in so to keep the Bible's unified story arc front-and-center. You should hear the unabridged audiobook:
Listen to Chapter 1 of The Story, which takes us through the high drama of Creation (0:01), Fall (9:56), and Flood (16:10).
When you listen to that chapter I think you'll see why The Story was just honored by the Audie Awards — which is like the Academy Awards for audiobooks — as the Inspirational/Faith-based Nonfiction work of the year.
Hearing these Genesis stories, I marvel at the patience of God. This in particular jumped out at me: the first murder on earth was committed out of a motive as simple as envy, and it was committed by one brother against another.
The chapter above ends with Noah's family surviving the Flood, and I'm thankful God didn't use the opportunity to rid Earth of humanity once and for all! I'm looking forward to hearing more of The Story's rendering of the Bible.
What jumped out at you from The Story's telling of Genesis?

Parker Lane is a quiet suburban neighborhood nestled east of I-35, north of Hwy. 71, and south of Oltorf St. Its proximity to three major local thoroughfares and public bus lines means commuting to other parts of the city is relatively easy and accessible.
The neighborhood itself is nondescript by Austin standards; there are no popular restaurants, shopping, or nightlife options in the immediate area. Housing is low cost here. That, and the proximity to St. Edwards University lead many students to seek temporary housing in this neighborhood. There are also young professionals and retirees.
Parker Lane is a residential community bordered by three major local highways and thoroughfares. While the edges of the neighborhood can be noisy from traffic, the interior is quiet with tree-lined streets and one- and two-story houses. The neighborhood's location east of I-35 diminishes its reputation somewhat, but the area is relatively safe compared to some other east Austin neighborhoods.
The neighborhood is almost entirely residential, but there are some service stations, motels, liquor stores, and low-cost restaurants along the borders of the neighborhood, particularly along Oltorf St.
The neighborhood is somewhat lacking in walkable green space. But a centerpiece of Parker Lane is Mabel Davis District Park, a 50-acre park containing a covered picnic area, a playground, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, basketball courts, and a well-designed skate park. The skate park was one of the first in the city and attracts skate enthusiasts from all over the area.
Until the 1950s, the park's location was used by the city of Austin as a landfill. In the 1970s, it was closed, cleaned up and opened to the public. Subsequently the park had to be closed and renovated by the city, and was reopened in the early 2000s.
Housing in the neighborhood is relatively low cost. A modest-sized home runs in the low $100K range, while a larger, renovated one can run up to $300K. The low housing cost and easy access to downtown, south Austin, St. Edwards University, and the University of Texas brings many students to live here. It also attracts some younger singles and families, and retirees.

Santa Monica Dr. Allison Dr. Rockbridge Ter.
Parker Lane has mostly two- and three-bedroom homes built in the 1970s and 80s. Home prices average in the mid-$100K range.

A couple of months ago, my Antwerp CMG colleague Joshua and I bought a couple of Raspberry Pi's to play around with at home. Josh wanted to set up his own cloud (which I'll be doing later too), and I wanted to set up a network attached Time Machine backup system at home, which have been fun spare time projects to fiddle around with.
But in September, we're both also involved int he organisation and teaching of a DH summer school on Image Analysis and Processing, where (among other things) we'll be offering a course on IIIF that we'll co-teach with Dries Moreels from the University Library of UGent. Mike, a co-organiser of the DH Summer School, suggested that we use Raspberry Pi's in that class, and let everyone set up their own little IIIF server.
In theory, it's a great idea. It makes the course really hands-on, which is good for the students, and offers us a way of making the idea behind IIIF of opening up and sharing image collections, and re-using and annotating each other's images very concrete. But there are some hurdles to overcome in turning this idea into practice. Over the last month, we've been looking at overcoming some of these issues, and were quite successful. We tried it on our own raspberry pi's first, and when it looked like it was going to work, we looked for and found funds to purchase 20 raspberry pi's for this summer school (that will also be used in the regular curriculum in the future).
Recently though, we've hit another bump in the road, because while the university was closed two weeks ago, the network has undergone some changes, making it more secure, but therefore also more difficult to access our raspberry pi's remotely – which was the whole point of the exercise. We're looking into circumventing this issue, and have a contingency plan in place, so hopefully it won't be too much of a problem. In the meantime, I plan to put some of our trial-and-error adventures on this blog so it may help others to do similar things at their university, and to prepare for the classes (for which we'll be writing detailed tutorials).
So, stay tuned if you want to find out more, and keep your fingers crossed!

The Christmas Tree Recycling Program runs annually in January. For the past 25 years the City of Lethbridge and local youth groups have partnered to ensure that Christmas trees continue to give after the Holiday Season. Over 1.5 million kilograms or approximately 75,000 Christmas trees have been diverted from the landfill since the program began.
How should my Christmas tree be placed for collection?
Place your tree at your regular garbage collection location (front or alley) but away from your waste collection cart. Please ensure that all decorations, tinsel and lights are removed from your tree.
What are some common reasons Christmas Trees are not picked-up?
Incorrectly/late placed trees – By 7:00 Saturday, it should be in your alley or front of house, based on where your garbage is collected. The fundraising youth groups follow maps based on that information.
Decorations, tinsel, plastic, tree stands not removed – the trees must be totally bare to be ready for the chipper. We instruct the fundraising groups to leave these trees so they do not damage the equipment.
Human error (missed) – While we expect the youth groups to be thorough, we also recognize that they're not professional operations crews. Please contact us if this is the case. Thanks for your patience!
What happens to the Christmas trees after they are collected?
The collected Christmas trees are diverted from the City's landfill and are chipped for environmentally friendly mulch.
Are there other options for recycling my Christmas tree?
You can bring your tree to the Waste & Recycling Centre, Monday to Saturday. Residents may choose to use a Large Item Service and schedule a time to have their Christmas trees picked up (trees collected with this option will be disposed of with regular waste). Yard Waste Sites are closed between December 1 - March 31.
What can I do with the rest of my holiday waste?
Much of the holiday packaging and wrapping can be recycled. When separating your recycling, remember to put wrapping paper, styrofoam and plastic without #'s 1-7 in your regular garbage collection. Please, no styrofoam or wrapping paper in the recycling! To find recycling locations and more information on what is accepted click here.

Check out the "Create Memories, Not Garbage" campaign for great ideas to celebrate with waste-wise choices.


"Wear it out, use it up, make it do or do with out"
Have you ever considered the early American tradition of the Make-do? Of the days when nothing was absently discarded the make-do became a way of extending the life of a family treasure and providing a gift for a child when a store bought item would be out of the question. A favorite tea cup that had been broken found a new life as a lovely pin cushion. A much used candle stick whose holder had snapped off was just the thing to use as the base of a child's dolly or a hat stand. Not one scrap of fabric was ever thrown away for it was sure to find a use later.
The tiniest bit would be used for a dolls shirt or a square in a quilt. Silken threads were wound around a bobbin to save for embroidered embellishments later. A tiny bead, button or a few inches of lace would find their way to trim something special. Even using such things as horse hair, saw dust or sand as stuffing. The ingenuity and resourcefulness of these pioneering women something to be honored today. Most primitive and folk artists today earnestly try to recapture that feeling with the same pride and attention to details as our ancestral mothers. The make-do is a folk art must have and most collectors have at least a few placed in and about their homes. They are as much a part of our history as a hand made quilt or an old oil lamp.
These items bring about feelings of comfort to us somehow. You can almost envision a prairie child playing with her favorite dolly.
decorative appeal these pieces bring to our homes. And who knows, maybe someday a story like this will be written about us.
Whether it be a lovingly hand stitched sampler or an intricate piece of detailed fraktur work, folk art is a rich part of our culture and it celebrates our heritage. Folk art is defined as art which has been crafted by everyday folks with out a formal art training but whose unique styles and craftsmanship have been passed down through the generations. Take for example a Baltimore album style quilt with all of its detailed appliqué work or the hex signs that are commonly found on barns around Lancaster County Pennsylvania. The work of those common folks has become an earmark of their culture and time. As folk artisans of today, many of us craft traditional pieces that are steeped deeply in our own cultural history, only we add our own artistic interpretations to our work, thus carrying on the tradition of "folk" art.
One tradition that many folk artisans of today still create is the wax ornament. Molding and carving beeswax has its roots running deep into Germany.
We have found beeswax ornaments in German museums that are well over 350 years old! At Christmas time, these wax ornaments were carefully crafted by German housewives by pouring melted beeswax into wooden cookie molds carved from fruitwood. These elaborate carvings usually depicted scenes of St. Nicholas, animals, birds, guild workers and pastoral/county living. Many times the wax was then elaborately painted and further embellished by carving or adding other small wax pieces.
When the first wave of German immigrants came to America during the early 18th century, they brought with them their prized cookie and confection molds and the tradition of beeswax ornaments soon became steeped in our own culture and a cornerstone of our early Christmas traditions.
During the nineteenth century, wax ornaments were sold by German toy manufacturers and were a popular Victorian find in most American homes. Usually forms of full bodied angels, Belscnickles or country folk were the most popular. These antique wax ornaments are very rare finds today.
A warm welcome to the family home of WSOAPP!
Here, we are celebrating the holidays with an olde fashioned handmade Christmas, and we invite you to grab a hot cup of cider, sit back and join us for a while.
There is no gift more cherished or kept closer to the heart as a handmade gift. Unlike manufactured presents these gifts are often one of a kind and irreplaceable for the recipient. The quality, attention to detail and the uniqueness can only be found in hand crafted items.
They will strike a memory like nothing else can and often become heirlooms that are passed down through generations. They bring back precious memories of days gone by when Christmas was a time when great thought and care went into each and every package that was placed beneath the tree.
When we had time away from the hustle and bustle of the world outside to really think about what that special someone would love most and keep always. Wonderful scents filled the air. Fresh pine, warm spices and sweet vanilla were the first impressions that greeted cold travelers coming through the door. Then the sparkling lights and a crackle from a warm fire. A twinkle from a candle and a special doll resting on a table top brought oohs, awes and smiles. Sweet tones of soft holiday music. A garland with never seen before ornies nestled here and there.
with special hand made vintage tags made the anticipation that much more exciting. We invite you to bring back the past and make this a handmade Christmas. You can feel good about purchasing a handmade gift because it is something that is so much appreciated by your friends and loved ones. And the grateful artist that has lovingly created the special piece feels a part of your joy and is supported by your patronage.
Well, it's a virtual house walk! We promised you all we would roll out the red carpet, so here it is; participating members have opened their homes and shared their Christmas decorations inside and out. The nice thing about this house walk is, you don't have to get cold while taking the journey. Sit back, enjoy the view....and maybe even pick up an idea or two.

Agia Triada, Akrotiri
The Agia Triada (Holy Trinity) monastery is located in the northwest part of the Akrotiri peninsula, 16 km from Chania, and it is placed in the green. Although the community decreases the old buildings are gradually restored and the monastery is still active with an excellent library. All the visitors are welcomed and you can buy traditional olive oil from the monks.
The Agia Triada monastery was built in the seventeenth century on top of a pre-existing church according to the Byzantine cruciform architecture with three domes. It was founded by the Venetian monks Jeremiah and Laurentio Giancarolo who were converts to the Orthodox faith. The main church is dedicated to the Agia Triada and the two side chapels to Agios Ioannis Prodromos and to Zoodocho Pighi (Source of Life).
The facade of the church has double columns of Ionic and Corinthian style and an inscription. The monastery's museum has manuscripts and important portable icons from the 15th, 16th, 17th and subsequent centuries. In the Agia Triada Monastery was a religious school in the 19th century.
The approach to the Monastery is really impressive through an amazing landscape of olive trees and grapevines as well a stand in cypresses trees (Tel: 0030 28210 63310).
Gouverneto, Akrotiri
The Gouverneto monastery is located 5 km north of the Agia Triada monastery, deep in the wild and bareen Akrotiri peninsula.
It is a fortress-type complex with a square tower on each of its four corners. The rectangular courtyard is dominated by a dome church dedicated to the virgin with an ornate sculptured Venetian facade. In the chapel in the small courtyard of the Moni Gouverneto there are some of the oldest frescoes in Crete (Tel: 0030 28430 63319).
The Holy Monastery of Gouverneto is open every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 to 12:00 and from 17:00 to 19:00. Every Saturday and Sunday it opens from 5:00 to 11:00 and from 17:00 to 20:00.
Katholiko, Akrotiri
The Katholiko monastery is the most ancient moni in Crete, dating back to the 11th century. The monastery became a place of formal worship in the thirteenth century. About three hundred years ago, the monks abandoned the monastery because of persistent pirate raids.
The Katholiko monastery, built into the sides of a ravine, contains a church dedicated to Agios Ioannis Xenos, or St. John the Hermit, the founder of the monastery, who lived and died in the nearby cave that bears his name. The church itself is carved into the rock of the mountain side, and its facade lines up with the slope of the mountain. The bridge across the ravine, and some buildings of the old monastery are still preserved. The view is amazing.
The photos are from the cave in which St Ioannis the Hermit is said to have lived and died - a large, dank and dripping cave with stalagmites and stalactites. The ruins nearby exhibit a Minoan shrine, which had become a sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Artemis during the Greek period.
It takes 20 minutes to reach the cave if you follow the path starting from the Gouverneto Monastery; it takes 15 more minutes to reach the Katholiko monastery.
Gonia, Kolymbari
Gonia Monastery is located 1 km from the village of Kolymbari. Today dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin (feast day: August 15), the monastery was originally founded in the 9th century and was originally dedicated to Aghios Georghios. It was rebuilt during the 17th century in a wonderful place, it is surrounded by verdant vegetation and it offers a magnificent view.
The monastery has a fortress form, overlooking the bay in front of it; it was also a centre of resistance during the revolution of 1821.
Gonia Monastery hosts today an important collection of precious post-Byzantine icons, relics, and other rare religious treasures. The Orthodox Academy of Crete is located next to the Gonia Monastery.
Chrissoskalitissa, Elafonisi
Built up on rocks some 35 metres high, 3 km from the famous area of Elafonisi, it overlooks the Libyan Sea. According to Cretan tradition, the name of the monastery is derived from one of the ninety steps which lead there, which is said to be golden ("chryso" in Greek).
According to the monks one of the 90 steps was hollow and it was used to hide the treasure of the Monastery, hence the name. It was used to pay the taxes imposed by the Ottoman rulers.
It is one thousand years old and it may have been built on the site of a Minoan temple. Chrissoskalitissa means 'golden staircase'.

Are you or a loved one experiencing mobility or accessibility issues due to injury, surgery, or balance problems? If so, you've likely considered an assistive device, such as a stair lift, platform lift, ramp, or patient lift. Whether your need is permanent or temporary, having the right equipment can make a major difference in keeping your home safe and accessible.
While the decision to find assistive equipment may be easy, finding a provider you can trust can seem overwhelming. With so many different options, it may seem impossible to know which company has your best interest in mind.
Once you've decided to find a provider, your first step will be to identify companies in your area. You may come across a range of options, from national chains to local businesses, to online sellers. Make a list with all of your options, then use the following 10 questions to help you compare and choose a reputable company.
1. Which product(s) does the company sell?
If you're searching for a specific mobility or accessibility device, you'll need to begin by identifying companies that sell that item in your area. Some companies offer only one product, such as stair lifts, while other companies may offer a variety of product options.
Unsure which product you might need? Begin with a search for "Home Accessibility Solutions" to identify a company that offers a range of solutions. Then contact their experts to explain your situation and get assistance identifying the right product type.
2. Which brand(s) does the company sell?
Not all brands are created equal. Similar to purchasing a car or washing machine, mobility devices, such as stair lifts, are available in many styles, with different features, and at different price points. Visit some brand websites to understand product details and read independent reviews and consumer publications that discuss pros and cons of each brand.
Once you have identified a brand or list of brands that you would consider, identify local dealers for that brand. Most brand websites will have a "dealer locator" to help you find options for purchasing that product locally.
3. Does the company have a local office or showroom?
You probably wouldn't buy a car without taking it for a test drive first. When making an investment on mobility equipment, you may find it helpful to try it before you buy.
4. Does the company service / install the products that they sell?
Most assistive devices are complex pieces of machinery. You should never attempt to install it yourself or find a "handyman" to do it for you, as this could cause the device to function poorly or even become dangerous. A reputable company should provide installation for any of the products that they sell, backed by a service warranty to keep your device working smoothly for years to come.
Even in situations where a product does not require installation, such as a lift chair or power scooter, you'll want to ensure that the company can provide service. There are few situations worse than having questions about your device or being in a situation where you are stuck, and not having anybody to call for help.
5. Is the installer / service person factory-trained and certified?
Reputable manufacturers offer training and certification courses for dealers of their products. Most brands require that installation and equipment service are performed by a certified technician in order to keep the product working safely and prevent voiding the warranty.
6. Does the company perform background checks on all employees?
Whether for an initial consultation, installation, or service work, you will likely need to allow a stranger into your home at some point during the process. Background checks help ensure that you are not opening your home up to dishonest or even dangerous people.
7. Does the company furnish written statements describing all services and costs?
Some companies may provide price ranges or initial quotes verbally, which may not cover the full scope of work. Ensure that you receive a written statement before approving any purchase or service work to begin.
8. Is the company bonded and insured?
Bonds protect homeowners if the company performs poor-quality work, doesn't finish the project, or fails to pay subcontractors and suppliers.
Liability Insurance covers situations where an employee causes damage to a third-party's property, such as when a plumber accidentally causes water damage in a customer's home. It offers protection in the event that something happens to your property and the company you chose refuses to correct the damage.
Workers' Compensation Insurance offers you protection in the event that someone from the company is hurt or injured on your property. A stair lift is a heavy piece of machinery – you do not want to be liable if the company's employee is injured while installing it in your home. Your homeowner's insurance will not protect you against workplace injury.
9. Does the company have a good reputation online?
One of the best ways to know how a company will treat you is to see how they have treated their previous customers. Reviews offer honest feedback from a company's customers. Look to sites such as Google, Facebook, and Yelp, which verify their reviewers and prevent companies from posting fake reviews about themselves.
10. Does the company seem trustworthy?
You may find more than one company that meets all of the criteria listed above. In that situation, how do you choose the best one? Go with your gut! When you speak with company representatives, they should be friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and respectful. You should never feel pressured into buying something – you should feel supported throughout the entire decision-making process. A reputable company will take the time to answer your questions and leave you feeling comfortable and confident in your purchase (or rental)!


Education makes a man a more intelligent shoemaker, if that be his occupation, but not by teaching him how to make shoes; it does so by the mental exercise it gives, and the habits it impresses.
We have a right, also, in various ways, to act upon our unfavorable opinion of anyone, not to the oppression of his individuality, but in the exercise of ours.
A cultivated mind is one to which the fountains of knowledge have been opened, and which has been taught, in any tolerable degree, to exercise its faculties.

The wife of U2 singer Bono, Ali Hewson, has gone to Downing Street to protest personally against the operation of Sellafield nuclear plant in Cumbria.
The anti-nuclear campaigner was highlighting a mail-out of 1.3 million protest postcards calling for the plant in Cumbria to be closed.
Prime Minister Tony Blair and the Prince of Wales are among recipients of the cards which highlight fears in the Irish Republic about alleged pollution risks from Sellafield.
But Mrs Hewson wanted to deliver her card in person to Mr Blair.
The card has the message: "Tony, look me in the eye and tell me I'm safe."
The campaign is also being supported by The Corrs, Ronan Keating, Samantha Mumba, and Manchester United FC captain Roy Keane.
Mrs Hewson said: "There's millions of people in Britain who live as close to Sellafield as we do and the risks are great.
"A report commissioned by the European parliament has said Sellafield has the potential to be 80 times more hazardous than Chernobyl," she said.
But Energy Minister Brian Wilson said closing the plant would be irresponsible as it made an important contribution in the fight against global warming and climate change.
The Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland said the small amounts of radioactivity discharged from UK nuclear sites "do not pose a significant health risk to people living in Ireland", Mr Wilson added.
He also reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring the Sellafield nuclear site would be run to the highest standards of safety and environmental protection.
"The UK Government would not pursue any course of action that is damaging either to our own people or to our neighbours in Ireland."
Norman Askew, chairman of British Nuclear Fuels which operates Sellafield, has also been targeted by the campaign, which is backed by the Irish Government.
Postcards sent to him read: "You know that radiation released into the atmosphere has no borders ... No country, no government and no company can afford this risk for profit."
A series of protests over the reprocessing of nuclear fuel have been held outside Sellafield, which have been attended by some Irish members of parliament.
The plant is on the Cumbrian coast of north-west England, 110 miles (180 kilometres) from Ireland.
Postcards were delivered to homes throughout Ireland and people were urged to sign and return them. They have also been on sale in shops and post offices.
The expected delivery date of the cards, 26 April, was chosen to coincide with the 16th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
Radioactive contamination from the world's worst civil nuclear disaster was blamed for thousands of deaths in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia and a huge increase in thyroid cancer.
Prince Charles, known for his interest in environmental issues, will receive a card depicting Ireland ravaged by nuclear fallout.
Its messages read: "Greetings from Ireland" and "Charles - wish you were here?"
The commissioning of a new Mixed Oxide (MOX) reprocessing facility at the end of 2001 caused outrage in the Irish Republic.

Grand Bargain Preserved, with New Barriers to Development in "At-Risk" Neighborhoods
Last of its kind? Vulcan's proposed project at 23rd and Jackson.
Weeks of heated behind-the-scenes negotiations ended in compromise over the affordable-housing provisions of Mayor Ed Murray's Housing Affordability and Livability Agenda (HALA) late Monday afternoon, as Murray announced an agreement that will maintain the current affordability requirements in South Lake Union and downtown, impose affordability mandates (also known as mandatory housing affordability, or MHA) that vary based on how much additional development capacity is being added, and create additional hurdles for developers looking to add housing in moderate-income, racially diverse areas like the Central District.
I wrote about the variable affordability requirements a couple of weeks ago. Basically, the new rules say that in areas where zoning capacity (potential density) is being increased more than in other areas (say, a single-family block where three-story buildings are now permitted), developers have to provide more affordable housing or pay more into an affordable-housing fund. The logic is obvious—developers who take advantage of greater height increases should pay more for that privilege—but also flawed: Penalizing developers for building density in densifying areas arguably discourages development in those areas. At any rate, developers at the negotiating table these past few weeks clearly decided they could live with the higher fees, and agreed to the new formula.
More contentious were the fees and performance requirements (the amount of housing that has to be affordable, and at what level) in downtown and South Lake Union, which were negotiated as part of a separate process than the rest of HALA back in July, and are generally lower than what the fees and performance requirements will be in other parts of the city. (The Grand Bargain stipulated that the requirements downtown and in South Lake Union under MHA would be no greater than what was already required under the previous affordability program, known as incentive zoning. It was considered a Grand Bargain, in part, because social-justice advocates agreed to leave the downtown and South Lake Union requirements untouched).
Despite the signed agreement, Sage and other advocates reportedly wanted to increase the fees in those two neighborhoods significantly, to as much as double the rates both sides agreed to, which could have ended the Grand Bargain and blown up the coalition that came up with the agreement over a year ago. (Opponents of the Grand Bargain, and of MHA in general, have predicted this would happen all along.) After weeks of discussions, the two sides came to an agreement, and the fees will remain the same.
One thing that will change, at the behest of lefty activists and their allies on the city council, is the affordability requirement in neighborhoods whose residents are supposedly at a "higher risk of displacement" from new development—that is, areas with more black and brown people, fewer job opportunities, and lower housing costs. In those areas, developers will have to preserve as much as 11 percent of new units for housing affordable to people making 60 percent or less of Seattle median income, or pay as much as $32.75 a square foot into a city-run affordable housing fund—the same fee as areas of the city that are being upzoned the most.
The change is supposed to "increase affordability in areas at higher risk of displacement," according to Murray's proposal. But developer advocates have argued that by making it much more expensive to build in areas like the Central District, the Rainier Valley, and the International District, the city will make it much less likely that new projects like Vulcan's 570-unit, 6-acre development at 23rd and Jackson, which is vested under pre-Grand Bargain standards, get built. (Another large development, at 23rd and Union, has also been permitted under the current rules.)
That means not just less "gentrification" (another term for providing amenities like shops, modern grocery stores, and cafes in low-income neighborhoods). It also could mean less low-income housing. Vulcan plans to make 20 percent of the units in that project affordable for people making up to 65 percent of median income, under the Multifamily Tax Exemption program that keeps units affordable for 12 years. An 11-percent, 75-year affordability requirement—what could be required under the new plan Murray proposed yesterday—will be a much tougher sell.
Vulcan, of course, was the developer heavyweight at the Grand Bargain table. The fate of another proposed project, at 23rd and Union, is unclear.
Seven members of the council—all but Lisa Herbold and Kshama Sawant—have signed off on the mayor's proposal.

Finch Therapeutics Group has secured breakthrough therapy designation from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its investigational drug CP101 to treat patients with recurrent Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) infection.

Finch has designed CP101 therapeutic candidate for the prevention of recurrent C. difficile, which is a bacterial infection affecting more than 500,000 patients per year.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has named recurrent C. difficile as an urgent public health threat, as most of the patients failing to secure standard-of-care antibiotic treatment.
The firm is recruiting patients with recurrent C. difficile in PRISM3 randomized and placebo-controlled phase II clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CP101.
According to the company, the study drug is an oral capsule, which is administered in a single dose.
Breakthrough Therapy Designation is intended to enhance and review of investigational therapeutics for serious or life-threatening conditions.
Finch CEO Mark Smith said: "We are thrilled that CP101 has been designated as a Breakthrough Therapy for recurrent C. difficile.
CP101 is designed to break the cycles of infection by restoring the balance of the gut microbiome, an approach supported by numerous clinical studies and Finch's extensive experience providing microbial treatments to patients suffering from C. difficile.
Finch Therapeutics is engaged in the development of novel microbial therapies for the treatment of patients with serious unmet medical needs.
Based on translational research from OpenBiome, MIT, University of Minnesota and the Center for Digestive Diseases, the company uses Human-First Discovery for the development of therapies from microbes that have showed clinically significant impacts on patient outcomes.
The firm's RSM platform deploys machine-learning algorithms to study unique clinical data and identify crucial microbes that drive patient outcomes.
Finch has collaborated with Takeda for the development of FIN-524, which is an investigational RSM product for inflammatory bowel disease.
