Bácum is a small city and the county seat of Bácum Municipality, located in the south of the Mexican state of Sonora at .

It is one of eight mission villages founded in the early seventeenth century by colonial Spanish Jesuit missionaries for the Indian Reductions of the Yaqui people.  The Yaqui developed their own syncretic form of the religion.

History
The town of Bácum is one of the eight historical Spanish mission towns of the Yaqui Indians, founded in 1617 by the Jesuit missionaries Andrés Pérez de Ribas and Tomás Basilio.  They called it Santa Rosa de Bácum.

In 1930 the town was incorporated into the municipality of Cajeme, and it was granted autonomy within the new Bácum Municipality in 1931.  In 1949 the Yaqui River overflowed its banks, causing severe damage to agriculture and livestock raising.  The river is now controlled by the Álvaro Obregón Dam upriver.

Geography
Bácum Municipality is bounded by the Municipalities of Cajeme in the east and Guaymas in the west — and the Gulf of California in the south.

Area and population
The area of the municipality is 1,409.7 km² (544.3 mi²); and the population was 21,322 in 2005.  Of these, 3,600 resided in the town of Bácum.  The town is situated at an elevation of 50 meters (160 ft) above sea level.

Economy
The municipality's main economic activity is intensive agriculture, with more than 300 square kilometers under irrigation by canal.  The main crops are wheat, corn, soybeans, barley, cotton, and garden vegetables, as well as seasonal crops such as alfalfa and some fruits.

The municipality's coastline south of the town is  long.  Some fishing is practiced.  Industries are small, and consist chiefly of packing houses for vegetables and liquid fertilizer production.

One of our client's annual giving campaign has already achieved 95% of goal and the campaign still has five months to come to full fruition. Our assigned Project Partners project manager has done a terrific job directing this initiative, coaching and guiding staff and volunteers, who are very excited about the accomplishment, as you can imagine. How did this happen?
This campaign began from the inside out (as well is should), with the board of directors and staff involvement, then moved to wider circles of friends and donors. An affinity group was enhanced to encourage an increase in the size of gifts, which it did. The campaign will be the springboard for building relationships with other major donors and foundations. It has been managed "by the book" and the results to date are evidence of that. Seeing the big picture while taking care of every detail will ensure success.

On Ideas (Greek: Περὶ Ἰδεῶν, Peri Ideōn) is a philosophical work which deals with the problem of universals with regards to Plato's Theory of Forms.  The work is supposedly by Aristotle, but there isn't universal agreement on this point. It only survives now as fragments in quotations by Alexander of Aphrodisias in his commentary of Aristotle's Metaphysics.

Summary
On Ideas gives greater detail to many of the arguments which Aristotle recounts in Metaphysics A.9. There and here objections to arguments for Plato's theory of Forms are given. A point made in multiple places is that the Platonist arguments establish only that there are universals in a general and metaphysically slim sense, and not there are full-blown Forms of the Platonic kind.  A version of the third man argument is also given.

Authenticity
Alexander of Aphrodisias does attribute his quotations which form the extant text of On Ideas to Aristotle.  The content also matches with what Aristotle says of the Platonist arguments in his Metaphysics.  However, the external evidence that On Ideas is an authentic work of Aristotle is ambiguous and its status as such is not universally recognized.

Text and translations
The full Greek text of Alexander's commentary which includes On Ideas is published in the first volume of the Commentaria in Aristotelem Graeca. Excerpts from this, along with an English translation and commentary by Gail Fine, are available in On Ideas: Aristotle's Criticism of Plato's Theory of Forms published by the Oxford University Press in 1993.  This translation is also reproduced with notes in Aristotle: Selections, edited by Terence Irwin and Gail Fine and published by Hackett Publishing in 1995.

Pilates in the Saddle
By Susan Viers, Certified Teacher at Pilates Fit Studio in Pewee Valley, KY
Pilates is a natural choice of workout for the equestrian. The spring-driven equipment, corrective exercise, and working the body symmetrically will improve the rider's ability to hold the correct posture in the dynamic nature of riding.
Pilates Fit Studio counts among its clients two sister duos, Maggie and Stella Keith and Madeline and Elizabeth Vinci, and the Vincis' mother Susan Vinci, that ride saddle seat on Saddlebreds and compete in Saddle Seat Equitation, a form of English horse riding. The first of the five ladies to come to Pilates was Maggie Keith, age 17, and found the studio with the help of her mother, Sarah Kate Keith. Maggie was entering the Senior Equitation Division, which is quite competitive, and Sarah Kate felt Maggie needed to increase her strength. Sarah Kate practiced Pilates previously, was familiar with the benefits, and knew it could help Maggie gain strength, flexibility, and be tailored to her goals and weaknesses. Sarah Kate found Pilates Fit Studio online and after a phone call with studio owner Erica Walters about what was needed, she felt like she had found the right studio fit for her daughter.
Maggie quickly found that Pilates could help her "build and maintain core muscles and strength" to allow her to keep her toes up, which was something she had been "working on prior to starting Pilates and couldn't seem to master." In addition, Pilates has helped her "develop evenness in her shoulders and has pointed out weak areas" that were able to be corrected. Overall, Maggie feels like Pilates is very beneficial to riding and would recommend it to any equestrian.
After Maggie discovered the tangible benefits that Pilates could provide to her saddle seat riding, her sister and barn mates quickly followed suit. In their private and duet sessions, Pilates Fit Studio instructors create customized workouts that strengthen abdominals, work arms and shoulders integral to hold the reins to control the horse, and mountain climbers to strengthen the glute muscles used to hold their legs in the position in the stirrups. Their instructors in the studio have noticed substantial improvements in the riders not only in their overall strength and fitness, but also in focus, control, and posture.
Since starting Pilates sessions, the sisters have noticed an improvement in their strength. Madeline Vinci, age 9, said her "abs are so sore" and others have noticed the difference the method has made to the strength and success of the competitors. "Equestrian sports take tremendous strength, endurance, balance, and symmetry," states Cindy Zubrod, owner and trainer at the Prospect, Kentucky Zubrod Stables. She goes on to state that she feels "Pilates helps athletes in all these areas. It promotes body awareness, which has been a tremendous help in teaching my students." The benefits Maggie received from Pilates were integral in winning the world championship title in the Kentucky riders class 17 and under, which was unanimous among the panel of judges!
Pilates Fit Studio has thoroughly enjoyed helping the Keiths and the Vincis reach their riding goals and looks forward to a continued partnership. In addition, a new semi-private group of young teens has recently formed. The group consists of three middle school-aged riders who compete in eventing. If you would like to learn more about how Pilates can help you in life and sports outside the studio, please reach out!

Movement has always been an important part of her life, whether it was taking ballet and watching her mom do aerobics while growing up, running four mini-marathons, or doing numerous group exercise classes as an adult. Her mom taught her just to keep moving; it didn't necessarily matter what she did, as long as you did something! The "something" that has inspired her most has always been Pilates, and she is excited to share this passion with others.
Susan is a graduate of Alycea Ungaro's Real Pilates Teacher Training out of New York City. Additionally, she holds a bachelor's degree from Center College and a Master's of Business Administration from the University of Louisville, where she was awarded the Landrum Prize for Leadership.

Getting started with digital homeschool curriculum is easy, but organizing and storing it properly – to ensure that you actually use what you've purchased is the most important step that many people don't take time to do.
The first few years we used digital homeschool curriculum I didn't organize or store it in any particular way. If I were to look back at the documents on my external hard drive I know I would find a lot of resources that I never used. Why? I didn't organize or store the digital homeschool curriculum I purchased in any specific way.
Chances are if you were to take a moment and look through the documents on your PC, device or external hard drive you'd find that there are files that you have never looked at and resources you've never used as well. You may want to take time to actually look through them before the new homeschool year begins, you might actually find something that you want to use! Don't ask me how I know this to be true.
Whether you have already purchased digital homeschool curriculum or you are considering using it in the future, I encourage you to ensure that you organize and store them in a way that will make it easy to find what you're looking for easily. It will save you time and money both now and in the future. There is nothing more frustrating than trying to find the file you know you purchased on your unorganized device.
1. Create a master folder on your PC and title it "Homeschool Year 20–" and add all of your digital homeschool curriculum for that year to that master folder. Having a master set of all of the digital homeschool curriculum you use each year allows you to locate resources quickly if you want to use it again later in your homeschooling journey.
2. Set up sub-folders for each subject for which you have digital homeschool curriculum. Even if you start off the year with just one resource for each subject, you could add to your collection and this will save you a step later. It also helps you find exactly what you're looking for easily on busy homeschool days.
3. Make additional sub-folders for each of your kids inside your master folder (Homeschool Year 20–) and add the digital homeschool curriculum that each of them will be using to their sub-folders. This will enable you to find the exact curriculum you need quickly as it is organized by child.
4. Rename the curriculum files in order for you to know what it really is. Most of the time the file names of digital homeschool curriculum you purchase won't really make sense. If you don't know what a file is, it will just take up space on your computer and you probably won't use it.
Optional: You can also set up sub-folders for each subject within each of your students sub-folders. (Ex. Master Folder -> Student 1 -> Art or Master Folder -> Student 4 -> History) For an OCD, over the top, busy homeschool mom, like me, this is perfect.
5. Rename the files that your kids completed in each student's sub-folder (Ex. Completed – Art History Vol. 1, Done – American History, Finished – Horses Unit Study). This helps you know what each student completed each year should you need it for reporting purposes, report cards or transcripts.
6. Create a new master folder for the upcoming homeschool year and move/copy over files you didn't finish using or want to use for sure next year.
Repeat steps 1-6 each year to ensure that your digital homeschool curriculum stays organized and you save money by using what you've purchased!
If you prefer to store your files in a cloud rather than having them take up space on your computer you can use Dropbox to follow the steps I've just given you. We use Dropbox in our homeschool and I love it!
This may seem like a lot of work, but I promise that the benefits of using digital homeschool curriculum in your homeschool will make it worth it!
How do you like to organize and store your digital homeschool curriculum?
These are great ideas. I am pinning this for future reference!


After another great season out on loan from Chelsea with Everton, Romelu Lukaku is once again one of the most talked about young players in the world as a host of top clubs around Europe show an interest in signing him this summer. However, his performances for Belgium so far at the 2014 World Cup have been sadly underwhelming, with the 21-year-old only registering one shot so far in his first two appearances. Part of an exciting young generation of talented Belgian players, there is hope that Lukaku will find his best form later in the tournament as Marc Wilmots' side continue to grind out results.


I just love fall. What could be better than hanging out with the family watching a Pee Wee football game in the afternoon?
or dancing in the parking lot to tunes on Mommy's phone?
A GF and I have been working on Christmas stockings for more years than I like to admit. More times than I can count we talk about how we must finish them THIS year! This one is Kara's, yep it's been 4 years in the making! But this week it will be complete, no ands, ifs, or buts about it. Ditto for Karsyn if I can remember where I put her extra pieces :(. I hope to at least get a good start on Masons Mans, maybe even peak at the instructions for Tater Tots.
For the next 7 days my evenings will be devoted to sequins and stitching. Does anyone else have Christmas projects that have been ongoing for years and years? Why not grab that project this week and get to work with us. There is no time to wait, Christmas is getting so close it has me in a sweat! I have sew many more things that I have put aside that must be finished for Christmas gifts that need to get in the mail.
Off to the Dr this morning for some blood work. Why is it when I need blood work and can't eat after 10:00 PM I am hungry as a bear? I mean really, we do not eat at that time of the night!!! Last night I tossed and turned all night, kicking myself for not working in a late night snack before the cut off!!


More than 100,000 students return to 112 schools in Cobb County Monday. Here are five tips to make sure you're not surprised in the morning.
1) Prepare for extra traffic and school buses. Don't run the stop arm, because Cobb is finalizing a deal to use a contractor to send $300 tickets to anyone who does.
2) Check your student's bus route online. If you enter your address here, you can have exact route information.
3) Leave the cell phone at home. You might have heard some Cobb students will be allowed to bring their own electronics to school. It's an experiment, but so far it will be limited to Lost Mountain, Floyd and J.J. Daniel Middle Schools.
4) A lot of construction, renovation and new hiring went on over the summer. Allow extra time to find your way around the school and meet new staffers.
5) Go to the Cobb homepage to find out how to pay school expenses with an Iphone or Ipad app download.


For our fifth Ford Fair 2016 gallery we're looking at the classic cars from the show. As usual a fantastic selection of mostly Escorts but with a few other gems. The Zakspeed replica Capri looks a lot closer to completion that last year. It's good to see that it's looking like it's not going to be painted in the Jägermeister or Wurth scheme, which is good as it will give the car an identity of its own rather than trying too hard to be something it isn't.
The Restomods Mk2 Cortina in particular stood out, as there aren't many cars yet that follow this trend. Taken to extremes by the likes of the Ring Brothers, this style keeps the base car, but creates a modern intepretation of it by visually updating the dated aspects - replacing chrome trim with satin black, (more) modern wheels, respraying a more contemporary colour and so on.

LEGACIES AND DEVISES-Continued.
the personalty if there is no necessity of converting such in-
vestments into money. Baptist University v. Borden, 477.
Where a testator directs that certain real estate be sold and
the proceeds be divided between two devisees, such sale
constitutes a conversion for the purpose of division only
and does not change the character of the property with re-
spect to its liability for debts and legacies. Baptist Uni-
versity v. Borden, 477.
General legacies must abate or be postponed until payment in
full is made of demonstrative legacies. Baptist University
r. Borden, 477.
The personalty of a testator must be applied to the payment of
debts and exhausted before the realty can be subjected
thereto unless it clearly appears from the will that the tes-
tator meant to charge the same upon his real estate. Bap-
tist University v. Borden, 476.
A will should be so construed that the dissent of the widow
affects the devisees and legatees to as small degree as
possible and that the general scope and plan of distribu-
tion be carried out as far as possible. Baptist University v.
Borden, 476.
The distributive share of a widow consists of one-half of the
personalty after the debts, expenses of administration, her
year's allowance, and specific legacies are deducted from
the total value of the personal estate. Baptist University v.
A legatee cannot maintain an action against the executor of
another legatee who has taken possession of the property
of the deceased devisor, but the action must be brought
by the personal representative of the devisor. Mitchell v.
Milchcil, 350.
LEGISLATURE. See "Statutes."
LIBEL AND SLANDER. See "Slander."
In an action for libel, to make a communication privileged, it
must be made bona fide about something in which the writer
has an interest or duty, the person addressed a correspond-
ing interest or duty, and in protection of that interest, or
the performance of that duty. Harrison v. Garrett, 172.
show good faith in the absence of evidence that the de-
fendant at the time he made the publication had knowledge
of the rumor and acted thereon. Harrison v. Garrett, 172.
LIBEL AND SLANDER-Continued.
When, in an action for libel, the publication is not libelous per
se, and the complainant fails to allege special damage, a
failure to demur waives the defect. Harrison v. Garrett, 172.
LICENSES.
In a prosecution for retailing liquor without a license, a special
verdict which fails to find that the defendant did not have
a license to sell is not sufficient to sustain a judgment of
guilty. State v. Bradley, 1060.
LIENS.
See "Notice."
The commencement of a suit by creditors for themselves and
all other creditors to set aside a fraudulent deed of as-
signment by a bank does not create a lien in their favor,
where it does not increase the assets of the corporation.
Fisher v. Bank, 769.
LIFE INSURANCE. See "Insurance."
LIFE ESTATES. See "Estates."
LIMITATIONS OF ACTIONS.
The statute of limitations does not begin to run on a breach of
covenant of warranty in a deed for land until after eviction.
An averment that more than three years have elapsed since
the date of the alleged promise before the action was
brought and the services rendered as alleged is a sufficient
plea of the statute of limitations. Pipes v. Lumber Co., 612.
A dismissal of an action for the want of jurisdiction of the
parties is similar to a non-suit and another action may
be commenced within one year thereafter. Harris v. Daven-
port, 697.
The commencement of an action by an administrator for the
sale of the lands for assets with which to pay a debt to
himself is a sufficient filing and admitting of the claim so
as to prevent the running of the statute of limitations.
Harris v. Davenport, 697.
The registration of a grant is constructive notice to a junior
grantee that a senior grantee claims the land included in
the grant and an action to declare the senior grantee a
trustee for the benefit of the junior grantee must be brought
within ten years of said registration. Ritchie v. Fowler, 788.
Where a debt is made payable in two instalments, maturing a
different times, the creditor may elect to wait to sue till
the second instalment is due and the statute of limitations
will not begin to run until that time. Cone v. Hyatt, 803.
LIMITATIONS OF ACTIONS-Continued.
A partial payment of a note in order to stop the running of the
statute of limitation must be made by some one authorized
to make it. Cone v. Hyatt, 803.
It is not sufficient merely to allege that an action is barred by
the statute of limitations without stating the facts from
which it could be deduced. Murray v. Barden, 136.
The defense that a claim is barred by the statute of limitation
may be waived by a failure to set it up. Cone v. Hyatt, 803.
The time within which a sale must be made under a power of
sale in a mortgage is not limited and is not affected by
the fact that the right to sue on the debt is barred. Menzel
v. Hinton, 660.
When a non-suit is granted under Acts 1897, Chap. 109, as
amended, the plaintiff may bring a new action within one
year. Prevatt v. Harrelson, 250.
Where a trustee, holding a legal title to land for the use of
herself and others, executes a mortgage on the same, and
the land is sold under the mortgage the purchaser gets the
legal title coupled with the trust, his possession is not
adverse to the cestui que trustent, and the statute of limita-
tions does not run against them. Deans v. Gay, 227.
to the statute of limitations, an instruction as to facts
bearing on this issue alone should be limited thereto.
man v. Weeks, 81.
Pitt-
In an action to recover land which had been occupied adversely
by defendant for twenty years, the fact that the plaintiff
did not know the location of his line or that the land was
his until a few days before the suit was commenced, is im-
material. Pittman v. Weeks, 81.
In an action to recover money paid for the purchase price of
land, the statute of limitations begins to run at the time
the payment is made, the vendor having had no title. Bar-
den v. Stickney, 416.
Where the statute of limitations begins to run against a trustee
or an undisclosed agent acting as principal, it is not sus-
pended by the subsequent appearance of a married woman
as cestui que trust or as the undisclosed principal. Barden
v. Stickney, 416.
That the title of land attempted to be conveyed by a mortgagor
is a failure, is not such a mistake as to prevent the running
of the statute of limitation. Barden v. Stickney, 416.
Under The Code, Sections 756 and 757, a claim against a town
must be presented within two years after maturity or it is
barred. Board of Education v. Greenville, 4.
LIQUORS.
The power of sale in deed of trust or mortgage is not barred by
the statute of limitations though an action for foreclosuure
thereon is barred. Cone v. Hyatt, 810.
See "Intoxicating Liquors."
LIS PENDENS.
A petition to sell land for assets amounts to notice to a pur-
chaser under a proceeding by heirs for sale for partition.
A purchaser of land for value after the filing of a lis pendens,
but before the filing of the complaint in the action, is not
charged with constructive notice of any defects in the title.
Morgan v. Bostic, 743.
LOGS AND LOGGING.
In an action for cutting and removing timber contrary to the
terms of a contract, evidence of the plaintiff that he saw
the hands of the defendant timber company cutting and
removing the timber is some evidence of that fact, the
sufficiency of which is for the jury. Craft v. Timber Co., 151.
MALICIOUS PROSECUTION. See "False Imprisonment."
In an action against a prosecutor for malicious prosecution, the
plaintiff having been tried and acquitted on two separate
indictments for the same offense, both bills of indictment
are competent evidence. Coble v. Huffines, 399.
Exemplary damages may be awarded in an action for malicious
prosecution. Kelly v. Traction Co., 369.
In an action for malicious prosecution circumstantial evidence
is competent to show that the defendant instigated the
In an action for malicious prosecution, it is not necessary to
show who swore out the warrant if it was done at the in-
stigation of the defendant. Kelly r. Traction Co., 368.
In this action for malicious prosecution there is evidence tend-
ing to show malice. Kelly v. Traction Co., 368.
In an action for malicious prosecution the order and judgment
in the criminal action, finding the prosecution frivolous,
malicious, and not required for the public interests, while

not conclusive of malice or want of probable cause, is com-
petent as tending to show malice and want of probable
cause. Coble v. Huffines, 399.
In an action for false arrest and malicious prosecution, admis
sions by other persons arrested at the same time are not
competent, there being no allegation of conspiracy. Kelly
v. Traction Co., 368.
In an action for false arrest and malicious prosecution, if the
arrest without a warrant is illegal, it is no defense that
the defendant acted without malice. Kelly v. Traction Co.,
In this action for malicious prosecution there is evidence to
show that the plaintiff was caused to be arrested by the
defendant through its agents acting within the general
scope of their authority. Kelly v. Traction Co, 368.

A vice-principal is one who has such a control over those who
act under him that they have a just reason to believe that
a failure or refusal to obey the superior will or may be
followed by a discharge. Lamb v. Littman, 978.
It is the duty of an engineer of a railroad company to use all
proper and reasonable efforts to avoid injuring other ser-
vants of the company engaged in their work and to observe
the rules laid down by the company. Smith v. Railroad, 819.
A timber company building a railroad is liable for damages to
land done by one who built the railroad under a contract
with the company where it is shown that the work was
done under the supervision and contract of the company.

Welcome to the Womack Department of Educational Leadership, a part of the College of Education. Students who wish to teach at the secondary level will pursue a minor in Secondary Education through the Ready2Teach Program.
The Educational Leadership Department offers several graduate level programs that will help prepare new teachers or will help veteran teachers who wish to pursue leadership or supervisory roles. Local cohort groups allow students to pursue degrees within their communities. Faculty advisors work with students so that individual and professional needs can be met as students pursue graduate degrees.
Please see the list of academic programs the department offers by clicking on the tab at left.
The department name honors the legacy of Dr. Bob Womack, a 1948 graduate who taught future teachers from 1953 until shortly before his death in 2010, and his family. From an uncle, Price Womack, who graduated in 1928, to his wife Elizabeth and four children, all are MTSU graduates, and his two daughters are themselves teachers.
In addition to encouraging public service for his family and students, Womack was known for encouraging and expecting students to think for themselves. His lifework included helping future students become the top-notch teachers MTSU has produced since its founding in 1911. His family established an endowment fund that ultimately will provide more than a half-million dollars in faculty and scholarship support for MTSU's education program.
The department also participates in two doctoral programs offered through the College of Education: a Ph.D. in Literacy Studies and an Ed.D. in Assessment, Learning, and School Improvement.
You can find information on Ready2Teach on the College of Education website.

With the clock ticking down to a final decision on key patents, one of its big investors agitating for change and facing a serious delay on its late-stage rescue plan, Acorda's executive team isn't wasting any time on unnecessary meetings.
The biotech filed a notice with the SEC today saying that based on its discussions with regulators, they can skip a Type A meeting and move to re-file their application for CVT-301 without taking time for any such formalities.
Just a month ago the FDA triggered a crisis at Acorda when regulators issued a refused-to-file letter on CVT-301. Acorda is looking at the loss of patent protection on Ampyra next summer, and without its cash cow the biotech desperately needs a major new product to fill the gap. So, instead of just continuing a high wire act, Acorda execs also have to scramble to get its application back to regulators ASAP.
Acorda couldn't afford the initial delay at the FDA, and any misstep now could cost them even more dearly.
At the beginning of this month Acorda — helmed by Ron Cohen — also had to put in place a poison pill plan to keep Scopia Management at bay. Scopia has been pushing for a sale as it built up a bigger stake in the company.
Paul Matteis at Leerink is still not quite certain what Acorda has to do to get the FDA to accept its application, something the company never fully explained, but he finds the latest development encouraging.
While the press release highlights the ability of the company to re-file without the need of additional clinical data, questions on the initial reasons for the RTF remain outstanding and difficult to vet going forward. We had not changed our model on the RTF and still project potential approval later next year.

Working Group Still Eyeing Thomas Jefferson Site for New School
Heather Mongilio October 16, 2015 at 10:30am
A working group tasked with analyzing sites for a new South Arlington elementary school is continuing to set its sights on the land surrounding Thomas Jefferson Middle School.
Working group chairman Greg Greeley presented the latest analysis to the County Board and Arlington School Board during a joint working session yesterday (Thursday). Arlington Public Schools is aiming to open a new school by 2019 in order to handle a 925 seat deficit.
The working group analyzed about 20 different locations, included those owned solely by Arlington Public Schools, solely by the county, jointly by APS and the County and privately owned. From there, the group narrowed it down to three finalists: Thomas Jefferson Middle School, Gunston Middle School/Oakridge Elementary School and Drew Model Elementary School.
With each site, the working group looked out how the new elementary school would fit on the property. Of the three sites, the working group preferred the Thomas Jefferson site.
In January, the County Board scuttled the school system's plan to build an elementary school on the TJ site, following vocal protests from residents concerns about the impact to adjacent parkland.
County Board member John Vihstadt echoed those concerns, and brought up a proposal that he said could preserve the parkland while still getting the school built nearby.
Vihstadt introduced a letter from Snell Properties, which owns the Dominion Arms complex at 333 S. Glebe Road, offering APS land for a school free of charge, in exchange for the ability to build a new development with more density.
The Sun Gazette has more about the proposal and the mixed reaction to it.
"Without getting into the pros and cons, the merits and demerits of this potential new location, I, for one, am certainly interested in the pursuit of looking at this, completely scouring the pros and cons of whether this is an option or not. We are making a decision for 50 years," Vihstadt said.
At the time of the working session between the two boards, not all members had read the letter, including School Board Chair Emma Violand-Sánchez and Superintendent Patrick Murphy, who voiced concerns about the potential for delaying the opening of a new school past 2019.
"Some of the concerns I think is we have a process in place and we have to respect the process. The South Arlington working group has done a fabulous job, and I would hate to see something new come into play and derail and delay given the 2019 timeline," Murphy said.
Vihstadt asked the working group and School Board about possible alternatives to find at least 725 new seats, a request made previously by the County Board in January.
The School Board looked at additions to Barcroft and other elementary schools but they would not add enough seats, said Violand-Sánchez. School Board member Abby Raphael also raised concerns over the costs of additions versus a new school.
"Clearly additions are not as cost effective as a new school. Given the limited funding that we have for capital. I would be very surprised if we had to go back to what we called plan B," Raphael said. "And I kind of find it inconceivable that we're not going to reach agreement on a new site for a school in south Arlington. We have to. We have to the seats in the fall of 2019."
A full report from the working group on potential South Arlington school sites is due to the County Board in November.

Will Smith's Appreciation Of Latino Culture And His Love For Latino People Makes Him An Honorary Latino

There are Latinos, there are wannabe Latinos and then there is Will Smith. If you just became obsessed with Marc Anthony, Bad Bunny & Will Smith's latest drop, "Está Rico," and you were wondering why Will Smith was rapping in Spanish, let us give you the brief photo history showing how he has embraced and become part of Latino culture.
Will Smith has always been a lover of Latino culture.
CREDIT: @forbes / Twitter
Yes, he really is from West Philadelphia, where he was born an raised, and was a pretty popular rapper in the '80s. Once the IRS claimed his recording equipment, he took on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" in an interim that lasted six years. Since then, he's been top charting and making bank in film.
He is BFFs with Marc Anthony.

Caption: "Feliz Cumpleaños, mi Hermano!"
It's the real deal. These two have traveled together and spend legit bestie time together, which leads us right up to "Está Rico."
Smith teamed with Marc Anthony and Bad Bunny on a bilingual track, "Está Rico."
In it, Will Smith entires with "Haciendo Historia!" and, "Blend my Philly way now / With your Latina sway now / Sacude tu cadera."
He's rapping… en español.
He has proven several times that he speaks decent Spanish.
CREDIT: Telemundo / YouTube
He's even accepts interviews in Spanish on the regular, including this one on Telemundo where he carried his weight for the first half, and was translated for the second half.
Apparently, Smith travels with a Spanish language instructor so he's always learning.
La comunidad agrees his trip to Colombia with Marc Anthony changed him.
CREDIT: @VGCastro17 / Twitter
Back in May of this year, Smith was all over Instagram sharing the multiple dance offs he had with folks all throughout Colombia. He basically danced his way through the country.
Truth, he may have been on a working vacation since his new movie "Gemini Man" is based in Colombia, set to release in October 2019.
While he was there, him and Marc shipped Colombia hard.
CREDIT: TMZ / YouTube
Can you spot Marc Anthony to his right? Boy is literally on a balcón; it doesn't get more Latino than that. Unless he's hiding a cigar somewhere, and then there's no going back.
He "loves the fire" of Latin America.
CREDIT: @partypokerlive / Twitter
In an interview with Latina, he shared, "I spent a lot of time in South America and I just love the fire!" he says. "When I was down in Brazil, I just got hype and started rappin' for the crowd, you know, it's like the energy is crazy, and I just love that fire, I love that flavor."
He knows to always give the spotlight to the person who really runs things: his wife.
CREDIT: @Fevu_shikor_ / Twitter
He got the handbook on this one. She deserves all the glory and honor to even be by your side and if you aren't over the top about acknowledging her grace, she will take it very personally y le botó.
He's dramatic AF.
CREDIT: sad will smith gif / GIPHY
And always has been. Why do you think we were all so obsessed with "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"? It was the only American telenovela we had.
Miami is his second home.
CREDIT: Will Smith / YouTube
Miami is like the American capital of Caribbean Latinos and he's been singing about it (and even dropping some lyrics in Spanish) since the '90s.
Plus, he's always been a fanboy for Mariah Carey.
CREDIT: @oldpicsarchive / Twitter
If you look closely at the CDs the Fresh Prince had laying around his room in the sitcom, you'll see Mariah's face everywhere. In this photo, Mariah is 18 years old and Will Smith is 19 years old back in 1988.
Smith is here for his Afro-Latina co-stars.
Back in the day, Tatyana Ali played his on-screen cousin, Ashley Banks. He wishes her a feliz cumple cada año on social media.
Will Smith brought us Eva Mendes.
In his "Welcome to Miami" hit, Eva Mendes was in the music video saying, "Bienvenidos a Miami." I'm screaming. Years later, she would play his love interest on "Hitch."
He's just like a prankster Latino dad.
CREDIT: @firepicstm / Twitter
Latino dads live to make fun of their children, and Will Smith is no different. After his son, Jada, posted this very Instagrammy pic, his father quickly took to mocking him on Twitter. ????
Just last week, he tossed Jada onto his shoulders to start the #ThePiggybackChallenge.
Will Smith is just the kind of dad who will always treat his kids like babies and also like adults. They went to Target to promote Just Water, and Smith was giving Jada sass for talking instead of working on stocking the shelves. Classic.
Latinos are already posting that their dads are way ahead of him.
CREDIT: @SamanthaSports / Twitter
We didn't use our legs for the first 4 years of life. It's the Latino way.
He publicly sasses his son for not knowing Spanish.
CREDIT: Univision / YouTube
Tell me your papi wouldn't do the same thing. I hear it from every abuelita I meet. Maybe Will Smith is an honorary abuelita, no sé.
He laid down a Bomba Estereo "Fiesta" remix like a boss.
CREDIT: Bomba Estéreo / YouTube
Of course, we have Marc Anthony to thank for that. Smith shared the back story in a video, saying, "I was in Colombia, in Ibagué, with Marc Anthony, and he was listening to 'Fuego' [another Bomba track]. And I said, 'That song is crazy!' And almost completely unrelated, my manager, Miguel, is friends with people in [Sony Music Latin, Bomba's label], and he showed me this song, 'Fiesta.' And I said, 'That is crazy, I need to be on that.'"
He reportedly has said he thinks he was Latino in another life.
CREDIT: @xxxangely / Twitter
Latina reports that in one of his usual rants about how much he loves Latino culture, he laughed and said, "I think in a previous lifetime, I was definitely born in Costa Rica or something like that."
In this life, he is one of us.
CREDIT: @Ma07ilyAlvarado / Twitter
The guy has spent decades obsessing over Latino culture, respecting it, living in it, lifting up Latino actors and remixing iconic bands. We ???? you, Will Smith. You're up there with Rhianna.

Selena Gomez Releases New Spanish-Language Single 'De Una Vez' and Teases Full Spanish Album: 'I'm Targeting My Heritage'

Good news, Selenators! Word on the street is that Selena Gomez will soon be dropping her first-ever Spanish language album. The rumors started after Gomez dropped a surprising (and beautiful!) new Spanish-language single, "De Una Vez".
Soon after the single dropped, rumors of a full Spanish-language studio album began to swirl when murals promoting "De Una Vez" and a yet-unreleased single "Baila Conmigo" popped up across, Mexico.
To make matters even better, Selena already dropped "De Una Vez"'s music video.
The lush and imaginative video has been garnering praise for its inclusion of Latin American visuals and symbols. Gomez hired Tania Verduzco and Adrian Perez to direct her video–a husband and wife team who hail from Mexico and Spain, respectively and go by the moniker Los Pérez.
Of hiring Spanish speakers to direct her video, Gomez revealed to Vogue online that the decision was intentional. "If I was going to completely immerse myself into a project inspired by Latin culture, I wanted to work with native Spanish speaking creators," she said.
And indeed, Verduzco and Perez tried to infuse as much Latin spirit into the video's conception as possible.
✨ De Una Vez ✨ Esta noche. Presave ahora. // Tonight. Presave Now. https://t.co/TvuQpwpq7J pic.twitter.com/nerTk7TKHV
— Selena Gomez (@selenagomez) January 14, 2021
"Magical realism has always been part of the Latin culture, whether it be in art or telenovelas," Gomez told Vogue. "I wanted [to capture] that sense of a supernatural world."
They accomplished this sense of magical realism by utilizing motifs from Mexican folk art, like Milagro, which is symbolized by the glowing heart that is beating within Gomez's chest throughout the video.
"We wanted to play with powerful language and images. We designed the heart—we call it the Milagro in Mexican culture—and its light to be a metaphor for the healing throughout the story," Verduzco told Vogue.
Selena Gomez fans are especially excited about this project because Gomez has long hinted at her desire to release a Spanish-language album.
I think it will be worth the wait. 😜 https://t.co/IRaQ69MrpA
Back in 2011, Gomez tweeted about her plans to eventually record an entire album in Spanish. "Can't wait for y'all to hear the Spanish record;) it's sounding so cool," she wrote.
She retweeted the sentiment on Thursday with the comment: "I think it will be worth the wait"–which many fans took as confirmation that a full studio album is on its way.
It's worth noting that Gomez has already dipped her toe into the Latin music scene with 2010's "Un Año Sin Lluvia" and 2018's DJ Snake, Ozuna and Cardi B collab, "Taki Taki".
As for the difficulty of recording songs in a second language, Gomez said that it was a practice that came naturally.
"I actually think I sing better in Spanish. That was something I discovered," she said in an interview for Apple Music. "It was a lot of work, and look, you cannot mispronounce anything. It is something that needed to be precise, and needed to be respected by the audience I'm going to release this for."
She continued: "Of course I want everyone to enjoy the music, but I am targeting my fan base. I'm targeting my heritage, and I couldn't be more excited."

Cardi B's First Leading Movie Role Will Thrill 'Sister Act' And 'Mrs. Doubtfire' Fans

For one of her upcoming projects, fans of Cardi B can expect a throwback to her older days. That's right, Cardi B is stepping into a familiar role before the screen. The former "Love & Hip Hop: New York" star has proven herself capable of making music bangers and in Hustlers she showed that she can hold her own when it comes to the big screen.
Now, the rapper is playing the lead in Paramount's upcoming film Assisted Living.
Cardi was recently cast in the "raucous comedy" called Assisted Living.
Cardi B lands first starring movie role in Paramount comedy #AssistedLiving (EXCLUSIVE) https://t.co/nhvBYireXX
— Variety (@Variety) January 14, 2021
According to Variety, the upcoming film "is being described as a 'raucous comedy' with 'tremendous heart.' Fans of Cardi can expect a film that looks quite a bit like Tootsie, Sister Act, and Mrs. Doubtfire.
The upcoming film follows Cardi B as Amber a small-time crook who gets herself into trouble when a heist goes wrong. "On the run from the cops and her former crew, she struggles to find anywhere to hide, reports Variety. "Running out of options, Amber disguises herself as an elderly woman and hides out in the one place no one will look — her estranged grandmother's nursing home."
Of course, this isn't the first time Cardi B has been in a major film.
In 2019 she appeared the blockbuster film Hustlers starring Jennifer Lopez, Lizzo, and Keke Palmer.
And of course, for some time fans were hopeful that Cardi would take on the titular role of a reboot of the '90s sitcom "The Nanny."
A post shared by Cardi B (@iamcardib)
According to CNN, the reality star-turned-rapper has been in talks to play Fran Drescher's daughter in a potential reboot of the '90s sitcom.
Speaking about a potential reboot in 2018, Fran Drescher told Extra in an interview "[I'm] talking to her representation. It's really getting me excited. It's fresh and it could be super fun." Here's hoping we get more Cardi B on screen!

Five celebrities who defied their difficult childhoods
Growing pains: these celebrities all overcame hardships in their youth

Disney film Queen of Katwe tells the true story of Phiona Mutesia, a Ugandan girl who overcame poverty in a Kampala slum to compete in the World Chess Olympiads. Here, discover the celebrities who overcame appalling child poverty to conquer the world with their talent.
Carlos Acosta
Acclaimed as a ballet dancer of genius, the heir of Mikhail Baryshnikov and Rudolf Nureyev, Carlos Acosta's family was so poor he frequently went without shoes.

Born in Havana, Cuba, in 1973, the 11th child of a poor truck driver and a mother with severe health problems, the teenage Acosta was sent to the Cuban National Ballet School, partly so he could be fed once a day. He graduated in 1991 with maximum qualifications and a gold medal.
Acosta has danced with many of the world's greatest ballet companies, including the Royal Ballet in London, and is recognised as one of the world's greatest performers.
Ashwin Willemse
Aged 16 Ashwin Willemse was a small-time drug dealer in Caledon, Cape Province, South Africa. Shot twice and with many of his friends either in jail or dead, he discovered rugby and turned his life around.

Starting with his local team of Swartberg, Willemse went on to a career that took him to the pinnacle of world rugby. He was capped 19 times for his native South Africa, including for the 2003 World Cup, where he scored possibly the try of the tournament against Samoa.
A winger of matchless speed, agility and power, he would become South Africa's Player of the Year in his first season and go on to be a role model for a generation of young black South African rugby players.
At 17, Malala Yousafzai was the youngest ever recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Born in the Khyber Pashtunkhwa province of Pakistan, she grew up in a region dominated by the Taliban, where girls were banned from attending school.

At 11, Malala was blogging under a pseudonym for BBC Urdu, about life as a girl under Taliban rule. After rising to prominence as an outspoken advocate of girls' rights, she survived an assassination attempt aged 15, which sparked international condemnation of her would-be killers. After the Taliban claimed responsibility, a fatwa was issued against them by 50 prominent Pakistani clerics.
Often compared to Holocaust diarist Anne Frank, Yousafzai has been awarded with the Sakharov Prize, the National Youth Peace Prize of Pakistan and the Nobel Peace Prize for her activism for the right of girls to an education.
Oprah Winfrey began life in poverty in rural Mississippi. Sexually abused by several family members as a child, she ran away from home aged 13, eventually settling with her estranged father in Nashville, where she landed a job in radio before leaving school.

After attending Tennessee State University, she co-anchored the local evening news, then moved to a Chicago talk show. Setting up her own production company, as The Oprah Winfrey Show, she would go on to revolutionise American television chat shows with her confessional, emotional style which subsequently became ubiquitous.
Credited with breaking many taboos, including gay rights, Winfrey has become a major promoter of minority causes and a philanthropist. Her Oprah's Angel Network has raised more than $80 million for charitable projects worldwide, and she has funded 400 scholarships to Morehouse College, Atlanta.
With a net worth of $3.1 billion, Winfrey is America's richest African-American.
Charlie Chaplin spent much of his childhood in workhouses and pauper schools, with his mother periodically committed to insane asylums. By the age of 30, he was the biggest star in the world, beloved for his tramp character in silent movies.

Chaplin became so famous that the BBC once broadcast just the sound of people watching his silent comedy The Gold Rush. He would go on to write, direct and act in some of the most acclaimed films of all time, including Adolf Hitler satire, The Great Dictator.
Awarded with three Oscars, the French Légion d'Honneur and a British knighthood, Chaplin is still considered a cinema genius.

Cheer not jeer asks Sturrock
David Scriven
Manager Paul Sturrock has called on the Roots Hall crowd to remain supportive regardless of how matches unfold.
The Blues boss is worried about the effect negative chants had on his players in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Barnet.
Sections of the crowd vented their frustration at Southend's player during and after the match.
And Sturrock has now called on Southend United supporters to create a positive atmosphere in the stands.
"Everyone in our dressing room is positive about what we are trying to achieve, the players acknowledge the fans frustrations but we need the crowd behind the whole club at all times," Sturrock told the official website.
"It definitely makes a difference, we went 1-0 down on Saturday and then there were one or two negative songs.
"I saw that get to my players, their shoulders dropped, and before you knew it we were 2-0 down.
"That doesn't help anyone so it is really important that the fans stay on side because we are trying to build a positive feeling around Roots Hall.
"That will encourage more fans to come to the games and that in turn will help be me make Southend United successful."
Meanwhile, manager Paul Sturrock said he would be hoping to identify midfield targets this week.
Sturrock admits that it is an area he has been light on since the summer after missing out on two players.
But the Scot hopes that situation could change this week.
"We're definitely light in midfield and it is something Steve (Kavanagh) and I are trying to address," he said.
"We were very close with several targets to broaden the playing aspect but missed out and we know we need to now address this but its not easy.
"However, we are putting together a target list and we will be working to try and make that happen."

Dear Annie: My father-in-law and mother-in-law died a couple of years ago, months apart from each other. When it came to settling the estate, the will stated in clear and precise terms that everything was to be divided 50-50 between my sister-in-law, "Jackie," and my wife. We did as they requested.
A few months later, Jackie contacted my wife saying she had discovered $110,000 in cash stashed away in their parents' house. (My father-in-law had a distrust of banks, given that he grew up during the Depression, and he told me that he always kept a large amount of money handy for "financial emergencies.") My wife was given her share of the cash, $55,000. The found money was timely because my daughter was getting married, and we had some bills of our own that needed paying.
A year later, Jackie contacted my wife to say that we need to return the $55,000 because that money was "promised" to her by my in-laws for building them a house.
My wife refused to return the money, not only because we don't believe Jackie but because we can't afford to withdraw this from our savings account. As a result, Jackie has written letters and sent text messages that are very nasty and hurtful.
Her tirades are now bordering on harassment. We have asked her to stop sending text messages and to call us or meet in person instead, but she refuses. Recently, my wife reached out to Jackie with an olive branch on Jackie's birthday, sending a nice card with a beautiful message. In return, Jackie sent back the card and enclosed in it a four-page letter that was extremely hurtful.
I thought about reaching out to her husband, "Leon," but he's very unstable, too. Their son, who is in college but can't drive because of previous accidents, called us crying the other day because his father is threatening suicide because he is tired of driving his son everywhere. You can't make this stuff up.
Dear Feuding: I'll start with the two people you and your wife can control: you and your wife. This familial stress is negatively impacting her health, and it sounds as if it's doing a number on yours, too. Make your own mental health a priority and consider attending some counseling.
Now, I also believe that Jackie would benefit from therapy. But until she believes that herself, there's little you can do. You might be able to get help for her husband, whether he wants it or not, however. Laws vary by state. Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (800-273-8255) for more information about the steps you can take. When a person threatens to kill himself, it's always best to take him seriously.
Try to be there as much as you can for your nephew. Maybe you could give him a ride once or twice a week. This would alleviate some of the pressure his father is evidently feeling, but more importantly, it would show your nephew that he's not alone. It sounds as if he is bearing the brunt of his parents' issues and could use some help.

Q: Joomla - mod_articles_latest not showing latest I've tried searching around on the site and google with no luck so here goes;
In joomla, using the module mod_articles_latest, what could be the reason for it not showing the latest news? I get 4 news as i requested and i told it to choose by dated published yet it seems that it doesn't update when i add a new article to the category i told it to use.
I'm thinking cache might be the reason but i i have it turned off for the module.
Using joomla 2.5.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

A: First Make sure you haven't modify any files of mod_articles_latest. If you have modified then revert it n check. Second Check the list of articles & their published date. Even if it doesn't work then there are lots of free module which shows the list of latest articles on Joomla extension site. If you have half an hour & you know how to built Joomla module, you can proceed. At the end mod_articles_latest modules works perfectly for me. Thanks

El mercado cambiario o mercado de divisas, también conocido como Forex, es aquel en el que se da el intercambio de divisas. Es considerado el mayor mercado financiero del mundo. El tipo de cambio representa una variable macroeconómica fundamental para cualquier economía, por lo que también lo es el mercado cambiario

Las cotizaciones están dadas por los tipos de cambio de las divisas en cuestión, informan sobre el precio al cual se debe de comprar o vender una divisa, el comportamiento del mercado cambiario y la posición que desea tener el operador de la mesa de cambios. Las cotizaciones se fijan, en términos generales, por la relación de oferta y demanda. Las tasas de cambio de una divisa en términos de otra permiten facilitar los intercambios comerciales.

Por lo general, los bancos centrales juegan un papel fundamental en el mercado cambiario, ya que lo vigilan y lo regulan con el fin de evitar que este afecte a la economía como un todo. Mucho de lo que ocurre en el mercado cambiario es reflejo de la intervención del banco central y de las modalidades de tipos de cambio que se establezcan

En los casos en los que se restringen mucho las libertades en los mercados cambiarios, suelen surgir mercados (cambiarios) paralelos que buscan satisfacer las necesidades de los agentes económicos que no están satisfechos con las restricciones para el intercambio de divisas.

Funcionamiento del mercado cambiario
El mercado cambiario permite realizar la compra o venta de divisas. Su manera de operar difiere de entre otros mercados financieros como lo son el mercado accionario o el mercado de bonos, ya que no necesita un lugar estable una computadoras o teléfonos.

El precio al que se adquieren las divisas se conoce como tipo de cambio, el cual es determinado por la oferta y demanda de divisas. El mercado cambiario está disponible prácticamente las 24 horas del día debido a que siempre habrá alguna persona en alguna parte del mundo que tenga la necesidad de cambiar su moneda por otra.

 Participantes en el mercado cambiario
Cualquiera que intercambie una moneda de un país por la de otro, es considerado participante del mercado cambiario.
Existen tres principales participantes: Bancos comerciales, bancos centrales y empresas no financieras.

Bancos comerciales:
Los bancos comerciales son intermediarios que permiten al cliente comprar o vender divisas. Estos bancos mantienen inventarios de divisas de acuerdo a sus necesidades y sus inventarios cambian debido a las operaciones diarias.

La participación de los bancos comerciales en los mercados cambiarios se debe principalmente:

 Desean proporcionar el mejor servicio a sus clientes
 Quieren administrar su posición en cada una de las monedas que mantienen en el inventario
 Buscan un beneficio económico

Bancos centrales:
Los bancos centrales son los responsable de la emisión de la moneda local y de la administración y control de la oferta monetaria. Son los responsables de mantener el valor de la moneda doméstica con respecto a las monedas extranjeras.

El banco central, a través de políticas fiscales o monetarias, puede intervenir en el mercado cambiario para balancearlo. Si una nación incrementa el gasto público o disminuye el nivel de tasas de interés provocará la existencia de una mayor oferta monetaria lo que ocasionaría una caída en el valor de la moneda local.

Empresas no financieras:
Las empresas no financieras son el usuario final del mercado cambiario, son quienes, como consecuencia de sus operaciones comerciales y financieras, acuden al mercado cambiario para comprar o vender divisas. Un ejemplo de esto son las empresas que invierten en países extranjeros, empresas que se endeudan en moneda extranjera y las empresas que exportan y reciben ganancias en otras divisas.

Q: How to format XML ResponseBody output without or with minimal configuration in SpringMVC In a Spring MVC project we have a small use-case where we need to expose some data in XML format. We don't need an XSD for our project. Since JAXB2 is included in the JDK (up from version 6), we really did not need to configure anything: really nice!
Before, we presented a link that was followed. The XML output was automatically formatted (i.e. indented and new-lined nicely) by the browser. Now however, we needed to change the link to have the xml file automatically be downloaded. The problem here is that the file contents are not formatted.
The question is: is it possible to format the file output with minimal configuration? All examples I can find already start out by configuring view resolvers, but I hope that that is not needed. Would be elegant :)
Current setup is as follows. In the Controller:
@RequestMapping(value = "/{filename}.xml", produces = "application/xml")
public @ResponseBody XmlData downloadDataAsXml(HttpServletResponse response) {
    XmlData xmlData = someLogic();
    response.setHeader("Content-type", "application/octet-stream");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment");
    return xmlData;
}

, where we use annotations on XmlData
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.*;

@XmlRootElement(name = "data")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlType(propOrder = { "field1", "field2", "entry"})
public class XmlData {

    @XmlElement private String field1;
    @XmlElement private String field2;
    @XmlElementWrapper(name = "entries")
    @XmlElement private SortedSet<String> entry;
}

So, except for setting Spring MVC to annotation-driven, everything works out of the box but the formatting.


See what happened when Daily Express journalist, Dominic Utton, had a go at bellringing at St James, with tower captain, Louise Booth (left in picture), showing him the ropes.
Merciful God, whose holy apostle Saint James, leaving his father and all he had, was obedient to the calling of your Son Jesus Christ and followed him even to death, help us, forsaking the false attractions of the world, to be ready at all times to answer your call without delay; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God now and forever.
The collect, of course, is based on this incident from Matthew 4: ' As he went from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them. 22 Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed him' (verses 21-22, and it is a poignant thought, that James's following of his Lord led to martyrdom and an early death as recorded in Acts 12.
Appropriately enough as it is St James's Day today, BBC Radio 4's Today programme was broadcasting live from St James's, Bermondsey this morning in an item about a national campaign to we recruit more bellringers. The programme concluded with the sounds of the bells ringing out from the bell tower, thanks to our dedicated band of ringers who came in specially for the event.
With the Bermondsey dragon about to return to its traditional perch on top of the bell tower, it is good to remember that in Christian theology, the dragon, is a symbol of evil defeated.
Both in Revelation 12 and in the legend of George and the Dragon, the dragon is defeated by the power of the cross.
In the legend, it is the saint, the soldier and servant of Christ, bearing the sign of the cross who defeats the dragon. In Revelation 12 the dragon is 'overcome by the blood of the lamb' that is, by the death of Christ on the cross.
The cannons you can see outside the Wellington Barracks in the Tower of London (right), were captured from Napoleon's defeated army at the Battle of Waterloo. They are the symbol of an enemy defeated and the spoils of battle. They witness to a great victory - as does the Bermondsey dragon.
It speaks of evil defeated, of a great victory won by the blood of the lamb.
As we met as our Church Council tonight, we remembered that victory of Christ who 'having disarmed the powers and authorities...made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross,' and prayed that our newly restored dragon, displayed for all to see, would ever proclaim that victory to the people of Bermondsey.
George Dunk (1951-2018) was a councillor for Riverside ward here in Bermondsey from 1990 to 1998.
Today at St James we hosted a service of thanksgiving for his life attended by the Mayor of Southwark, current and past councillors, the President of the Liberal Democrats, Baroness Brinton, Sir Simon Hughes, Lord Rennard and many of George's family and friends.
We sung some fine hymns - six in all - and heard the familiar words of John 14.1-6, on which Revd Katy Hacker Hughes, family friend and vicar of St Paul's Lorrimore Square, based her sermon.
What came over most strongly from the tributes to George was that he was a man of love and compassion, and a true servant of local people. He embodied the idea of civic responsibility as he worked for the people of Bermondsey.
George was a convinced internationalist and a convinced European, too. It was fitting that the service ended with the South African national anthem, in view of George's long term opposition to Apartheid, and his late wife's country of origin.
After the service, George and Sandra's ashes were strewn in St James's Garden of Remembrance, a trumpeter from City Hope Church played, and we all sang the great Liberal anthem 'The Land' : The land, the land, twas God who made the land/the land, the land, the ground on which we stand/Why should we be beggars with the ballot in our hand?/God gave the land to the people.
Thank God for the day when the working people of Bermondsey gained the right to vote and thank God for the men like George they were able to elect when they had the ballot in their hands.
After the service the Mayor of Southwark placed a memorial plaque to George and Sandra on the memorial board on the church narthex. She spoke warmly of George and the spirit of civic service which guided him in his life.
Archdeacons are adept at inspecting things. It's part of their job, in addition to encouraging and caring for the clergy and people of their area, so when our excellent archdeacon, Jane, heard that the dragon was back from the repairers, she thought she would pop round to see the dragon at ground level, before it returns to its perch.
Any suggestions from blog readers?
The Annual Bermondsey Deanery Social can take many forms, but rarely has it taken place in such splendid surroundings.
Thanks to Simon Lewis, Dean of the St Anselm's Community at Lambeth Palace, and Honorary Curate at St James, and St Anne's, this year we had a private tour of the Archbishop's London residence, a fascinating insight into the life of the St Anselm's Community, and the chance to round off our evening with a service of Compline in the crypt chapel at the Palace, a truly memorable and informative evening. Thank you, Simon.
End of term and the whole school poured into church for our Leavers Service.
It was time to say a fond farewell to our Year 6 leavers (left) before they go off to secondary school next term.
A school year book, a CD of photos, and a Youth Bible (paid for out of the School Governors fund) were presented to each of the 72 leavers by Chair of Governors, Sir Simon Hughes, who made it very personal as usual, by saying a few words of encouragement to every child individually.
This year, very sadly for us, Sir Simon himself was one of the leavers, because after 24 years as a governor of St James's School, and 23 years as chair, he is standing down, as he takes up other responsibilities in the community.
It was our chance to say a very big thankyou for our devoted Chair of Governors and friend of St James's School, and the whole school showed its warm appreciation and affection for Simon with prolonged applause.
So, thank you Sir Simon, and God's blessings to all our leavers, and best wishes to staff, pupils, and governors for a restful and relaxing holiday.
The children from St James's School have been visiting the dragon today before it returns to its perch on top of the bell tower.
The famous golden weathervane on the top of St James's bell tower has been a local landmark for nearly two centuries. It has an interesting link with the City of London, just across the river.
The City's coat of arms features a shield with the cross of St George, supported by two dragons (famously defeated by the saint).
This has led to the dragon itself being seen as a symbol of London, and to it being immortalised in a least one City church, namely, St Mary-le-Bow, whose dragon bears more than a passing resemblance to that of St James. (It also has two red crosses of St George painted on it, confirming the link with St George and the City coat of arms).
Whether the founders of St James had a link with St Mary-le-Bow or whether they were city businessmen wanting to make a link with the City of London across the river, it seems that the dragon of St James is a link to the City. Via the City, it is a link to St George, and via St George, to the triumph of good over evil. As such it makes sense as a symbol on top of the church.
The City's motto itself is instructive: Domine Nos Dirige, or, Lord, Guide Us.
As well as featuring in the legend of St George and the Dragon, the dragon features in the Bible in the book of Revelation (chapter 12). Here the dragon is a symbol of the devil, of evil and of everything that is opposed to God. But Revelation 12 describes the dragon being defeated by the Archangel Michael and the angels of heaven.
Although, evil continues in the world, the Bible tells us that it has been defeated by Christ on the cross. In due time it will be completely eradicated from the world (1 John 3.8).
Now refurbished and repaired, St James's dragon, will soon return to its perch on the top of the tower.
It stands there as a reminder that the church exists to proclaim the word and works of Jesus Christ, who has defeated the devil, and will return to this earth to take up his reign and 'make all things new' (Revelation 21.5), ushering in a new world where 'He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." (Revelation 21.4).
Local resident, Dave Fisher, baptised in St James in 1950, was one of those intrepid people who claimed the church tower on Wednesday and has kindly shared these pictures of the view, the work still needing to be done, and the work completed. Thanks, Dave.

Dasykothon leptomiscus gen. et sp. nov., a fossil flower of possible Lauralean affinity from Myanmar amber
A new fossil angiosperm, Dasykothon leptomiscus, is described from mid-Cretaceous amber deposits in the Hukawng Valley of northwestern Myanmar (Burma). The flower is post-anthesis except for one stamen that retains its pollen. The perianth is slightly irregular and composed of 5 ovate or lance-linear, erect or incurved sepals. The ca. 12 stamens have slender, elongate filaments and dorsifixed, bithecal, longitudinally dehiscent anthers. The superior ovary bears 2 long, curved styles. Germinating pollen grains observed on the stigmas are monoporate and have the peculiar feature of a grooved ridge encircling the grain from pole to pole. This structure is hypothesized to be an evolutionary elaboration of the meridionally syncolpate sulcus found in some members of the Atherospermataceae. The generalized floral morphology of the fossil prevents ready taxonomic assignment to a modern family.

Discovering beautiful Northern Michigan
by Lucy Tobier
Lake Michigan (Lucy Tobier/YJI)
Lake Ann, Michigan, U.S.A. – Driving northwest from my home in Ann Arbor to Lake Ann, Michigan, I watched the scenery become progressively more wooded and desolate. While I was used to farmlands and wide, open fields as rural landscapes, the land here is filled with tall birch trees and pines.
My family was driving to Lake Ann, population 268, for two weeks. Anyone who grew up or lives in Michigan knows what to do when anyone asks where you live. You hold up the back of your hand (roughly the shape of Michigan) and point. I live near the right side of the wrist. Lake Ann is at the tip of the little finger.
In Michigan, you can start at the bottom, drive north for 13 hours and still be in Michigan. The state is roughly divided into two parts and "going up North" typically means going to the more rural, countryside part.
Lucy Tobier/YJI
I had never fully understood the excitement about Northern Michigan. Sure, it's pretty if you like camping and being outside for long periods of time, but it never seemed so special to me that you would go year after year, generation after generation as some of my friends do.
But in Lake Ann, I discovered the beauties of Northern Michigan. Note: Lake Ann is not in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan which some may consider North. But it's much more Northern than where I live and has the more rural characteristics that the UP has.
While in Lake Ann, I walked in the woods and photographed mushrooms, hiked the Sleeping Bear Dunes and swam in vast Lake Michigan. It was a type of nature I certainly don't have in Southern Michigan. My family kept on saying to each other that we couldn't believe we were still in-state.
My favorite day was when my family drove out to Sleeping Bear Dunes to admire the view. Sleeping Bear Dunes, a national park, has miles of Lake Michigan shoreline, bluffs and lots of forest trails.
The legend of the dunes comes from the Chippewa people. It tells of a mother bear and her two cubs who lived in the land that is now Wisconsin and were forced to cross Lake Michigan when faced with a drought. While swimming, they encountered a storm and the cubs drowned.
The author, center, with her father and brother at Sleeping Bear Dunes.
The story goes that the mother bear was brought to the spirit world where she was happily reunited with her cubs. The bodies of the two cubs became the North Manitou and South Manitou Islands and their mother's body was covered by sand to become the dunes. Some may think of the story as really sad, but I've always loved the beauty and strength it conveys.
I also spent time in the center of Lake Ann. My family discovered The Breadlady, a micro-bakery with amazing focaccia and jams, and The Corner Cone, an ice-cream shop we went to almost every night.
Now I feel a little silly for looking at others' excitement about Northern Michigan with skepticism.
Living in the United States, you can become really attached to your state, almost feeling like it is your home country. I've always identified as a "Michigander" and am excited to carry that with me when I move out of state.
I love all of the lakes and the changing seasons and the inside jokes about potholes. But it wasn't until this summer that I discovered I know only a small slice of my home state.
Michigan contains a range of landscapes and towns and I'm so grateful I got to discover more of it this summer.
