Effective organizing needs a strong public broadcaster

For the past three years I've led training sessions with the Institute for Change Leaders↗ on leadership, organizing and action, working hands-on with thousands of students to teach them the skills they need to get involved and make real change in their communities.
The students learn from a detailed curriculum on how to recruit volunteers, how to strategize and choose tactics and how to develop new leaders. But at the heart of our approach, the very first thing we teach our students, is the power and importance of storytelling.
Stories can turn despair into hope, forge links between disparate individuals, and awaken new sources of power. We saw this power in the global youth-led climate strikes that took place last month, sparked by Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg's clear narrative of a generation betrayed by their elders, and unwilling to wait any longer for action.
The storytelling framework that we teach follows a simple model: "Here's who I am, this is the challenge we have in common, and here's what we're going to do about it." We teach the importance of face-to-face communication, but sometimes other tools are needed for activists and organizers to share their story with a larger audience, grow their community, and build power. In these circumstances, the existence of a strong public broadcaster in Canada has been essential to winning real change.
I've lost count of the number of times I've heard a story on the CBC that inspired me to take action, that led me to feel part of a larger community, or that helped me to understand and empathize with someone from a completely different background.
This shouldn't come as a surprise. The CBC was built by people who believed deeply that the power of storytelling, harnessed to new broadcast technologies, could strengthen our sense of community and expand the potential of our democracy.
These pioneers believed that if broadcasters operated just to make profits, those with less influence would inevitably be neglected and ignored, undermining the public good for the benefit of private power. Graham Spry, a CCFer sometimes called↗ the father of Canadian public broadcasting, made the case for the creation of the CBC in the 1930s on this basis↗:
Let the air remain as the prerogative of commercial interests and subject to commercial control, and how free will be the voice, the heart of democracy? The maintenance, the enlargement of freedom, the progress, the purity of education, require the responsibility of broadcasting to the popular will. There can be no liberty complete, no democracy supreme, if the commercial interests dominate the vast, majestic resource of broadcasting.
Broadcasting today looks much different than it did in 1931, of course, but the dominance of commercial interests, and the accompanying damage to Canadian democracy, is still a live issue. We can see this effect in the shuttering of hundreds of local newspapers and broadcasters across Canada over the past decade, victims of corporate consolidation and downsizing.
Putting a number on the demise of regional media is vital, and there are efforts like the Local News Research Project↗ to count each of these closures, but ultimately what is being taken is not quantifiable. These communities are deprived of more than key sources of public accountability: they also lose platforms that help communities to understand their common challenges, assist them in locating power, and aid them in making the choice to fight for change.
These reflections point to a clear, ongoing need for the existence of the CBC. In individual communities across Canada it is often an indispensable teller of the stories that help to move people to action. These can be big stories of official corruption, like Enquête's exposés↗ on organized crime in Quebec's construction industry; a local story about a dangerous road crossing↗ that helps to galvanize a movement to improve safety measures; or stories of the climate crisis↗ that help communities to understand themselves as part of a larger struggle that no one country can confront alone.
Every genuine advance in this country, from socialized medicine to universal suffrage, marriage equality and beyond, came because ordinary people realized that they faced shared challenges and joined together to win the change they needed. As long as people remain isolated and alienated, unable to see themselves or their own struggle as part of a larger collective story, then real change can never take place. The struggle to build and strengthen Canada's public broadcaster is motivated by a desire to overcome that isolation and alienation; or, in Spry's words, to "enable different sections of Canada to speak their hopes and problems unto the others."
At its best, the CBC can be a voice for these stories that otherwise would never be told, stories rooted in local experiences and shared challenges, and representative of diverse perspectives. And it can offer an honest assessment of who is responsible for the challenges that ordinary Canadians face, so that people fighting for change know where to address their demands.
From Yellowknife to Charlottetown, there has never been a greater need for strong, well-resourced public broadcasting. Our ability to meet our greatest shared challenges relies, in part, on ensuring that the CBC has the support, independence, and public funding it needs to be a voice of, and a platform for, ordinary Canadians fighting for a better country.

Supreme Court Hears Argument in Tyson Foods v. Bouaphakeo—and a Blockbuster Class Certification Ruling Seems Less Likely
Supreme Court Hears Argument in Tyson Foods v. Bouaphakeo—and a Blockbuster Class Certification...
The Supreme Court on Tuesday heard oral argument in Tyson Foods, Inc. v. Bouaphakeo, No. 14-1146, a case that has been closely watched for its potential to narrow the circumstances in which a class action may be certified under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23 and a collective action for unpaid wages certified under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). We previously described this case in prior blog posts. One of us attended the argument, and the other closely reviewed the transcript (pdf). Our combined reaction: The anticipated decision in this case may focus on an FLSA issue and, if so, then it seems unlikely to mark a sea change in the rules governing Rule 23 class actions.
In Tyson Foods, the district court certified a Rule 23(b)(3) class action and FLSA collective action for claims alleging that Tyson Foods had not paid its employees for all time spent donning and doffing protective gear. Plaintiffs sought to prove injury and damages using statistical evidence that averaged donning and doffing time, even though employees used different equipment and it was undisputed that hundreds of employees were not entitled to any additional compensation. A jury found Tyson Foods liable, but awarded only about half of the damages that plaintiffs' statistical experts had calculated were due.
The Supreme Court granted certiorari to decide two questions with potentially broad application to Rule 23(b)(3) class actions: (1) whether differences among individual class members may be ignored, and a class certified, when plaintiffs use statistical techniques that presume that all class members are identical; and (2) whether a class may be certified if it contains hundreds of members who were not injured and have no legal right to damages. At oral argument, however, it appeared that a number of the Justices—and perhaps a majority—may see the case as hinging on its specific employment-law context under the FLSA.
The United States argued in its amicus curiae brief (pdf) in support of the employees that representative adjudication was proper in Tyson Foods under the Court's precedent in Anderson v. Mt. Clemens Pottery Co., 328 U.S. 680 (1946). Mt. Clemens, the government argued, established a burden-shifting framework for deciding FLSA cases in which the employer had not kept precise records of the time each employee worked (as Tyson Foods agreed it had not). If a class plaintiff were to show, using a sampling of employees, that unpaid work had been performed, that approximation would be enough to establish a presumption of injury as to all employees, which the employer could rebut only by producing "accurate estimates" of time actually worked. Id. at 694.
Agreeing with the Solicitor General's contention, Justice Kagan suggested at oral argument that whether Tyson Foods "can proceed as a class [action is] really not the question in this case because of Mt. Clemens," which establishes "that certain kinds of statistical evidence are completely appropriate in FLSA cases." Accordingly, Justice Kagan said, "the question * * * before us is not a Rule 23 question, it's a question of whether this sort of evidence complies with the Mt. Clemens standard." Similarly, Justice Kennedy suggested that "if this were simply a class action under [Rule] 23," the problems identified by the questions presented "might be a barrier to certification, but under Mt. Clemens you have a special rule," which is "the substantive law for [the] FLSA." In response to Justice Kennedy pressing employees' counsel to concede "that there is a strong possibility you might not * * * have this class certified * * * under Rule 23, absent Mt. Clemens," counsel agreed that because of Mt. Clemens, "this is an easier case than a case in which there was not that substantive law difference." Asked for the same concession, counsel for the United States likewise agreed that under Rule 23 alone the case "would be much closer" and that the case the case "turns on the Mt. Clemens standard," not "on a freestanding Rule 23 requirement."
Counsel for Tyson Foods pushed back against suggestions that Mt. Clemens is controlling by pointing out that Tyson Foods involves separate FLSA and Rule 23(b)(3) classes, so that Rule 23 issues could not be avoided, and that Rule 23 does not permit certification where commonality and predominance depend on expert sampling that lumps together "wildly different activities." And Chief Justice Roberts observed that "it would be an extension of Mt. Clemens to apply it at the liability stage as opposed to the damages stage" (emphasis added).
The Chief Justice and Justices Scalia and Alito appeared less convinced that the Mt. Clemens presumption controls and more willing to address the questions presented as they apply to Rule 23 class certification generally. These Justices each focused their questions on the fact that the jury could not have accepted plaintiffs' experts' opinions about the amount of time worked without pay, because the jury awarded only about half of the damages calculated using those statistical averages. Once the jury rejected this expert testimony, Justice Alito asked, "how can you separate the employees who were injured from the employees who were not injured" or "how much time the employees were entitled to" except in "a very slap-dash fashion?" Once the jury rejects plaintiffs' "average statistics, * * * there's no way to tell whether everybody who's going to get money was injured or not," the Chief Justice added. Even if some sort of allocation could be derived, Justice Scalia expressed skepticism that "you can get a class certified, some of whom have not been injured at all, and wait until the conclusion of the trial for the trial court to determine who has not been injured." Other Justices (including Justice Kennedy) suggested that Tyson Foods might have waived arguments based on these difficulties by not making a Daubert challenge to plaintiffs' statistical experts, by objecting to bifurcating the liability and damages phases of the trial, and by not seeking a special jury verdict.
As is often the case when the Justices appear to be closely divided, too much should not be read into oral argument, where the Justices are as likely to be probing each party's position as signaling their own views. In the event, however, that a majority does regard the special FLSA rule in Mt. Clemens as controlling even the Rule 23-certified state-law claim, and that the Mt. Clemens presumption was triggered by the expert evidence here, the Court could soon turn once again to the same questions presented. The Court has "held" a number of certiorari petitions without acting upon them while it decides Tyson Foods, as we blogged about previously. Among these pending petitions is Dow Chemical Company v. Industrial Polymers, Inc., 14-1091, an antitrust case in which Dow seeks review of a Tenth Circuit decision affirming a $1.1 billion judgment to a class of purchasers of polyurethane chemicals. Dow's petition cleanly presents important Rule 23 questions about expert approximations and disparate classes full of uninjured and differently injured claimants—questions that in Tyson Foods may have become muddied by the special approach that Mt. Clemens took in employment wage cases. There is no reason to think that Tyson Foods, whatever the outcome, will bring an end to the Court's interest in getting Rule 23 right.

Footballer's Twitter disclosure order prompts online action
Hundreds of Twitter users have reacted to a footballer's bid to find out who is putting information about him on the website by posting new messages online.
The player, who an injunction says can only be identified as CTB, is taking action against ex-Big Brother star Imogen Thomas and the Sun newspaper.
He has now obtained a High Court order asking Twitter to reveal details of users who had revealed his identity.
Twitter has not commented but hundreds of users have repeated his name online.
'Fully entitled'
Papers lodged in the High Court against Twitter and "persons unknown" request disclosure of Twitter users said to have published confidential details.
The order against the US-based micro-blogging website requires Twitter to disclose the requested information within seven days - or within the appropriate time required by the law in California, where it has its headquarters.
Lawyers at Schillings, who represent CTB, have issued a statement clarifying the action it has taken.
It said it was not suing Twitter but had made an application "to obtain limited information concerning the unlawful use of Twitter by a small number of individuals who may have breached a court order".
It comes days after a High Court judge said the footballer was "fully entitled" to anonymity.
Justice Eady has reserved judgement on lifting the injunction after a private hearing with the man's lawyers, the Sun and former Miss Wales Imogen Thomas in London.
However, since news of the disclosure order became public on Friday hundreds of people have tweeted information revealing the footballer's identity.
One message being re-tweeted on the micro-blogging site, stated: "xx xx is suing Twitter. I can't Imogen why."
The legal move by the footballer comes two weeks after a Twitter user tried to unmask some celebrities who have obtained privacy injunctions to prevent publication of details of their private lives.
The Twitter user claimed to "out" a number of UK public figures, although the tweets appeared to contain errors.
Media commentator Steve Hewlett said CTB's lawyers were, in all likelihood, "trying to establish the real identity" of that user.
He said the privacy injunction preventing CTB's identity being revealed had been challenged on the grounds that it was already in the public domain because it was already available on the internet.
Mr Hewlett said "arguing that it's in the public domain because it's already on Twitter" would "put you in a very serious position in terms of contempt of court" if it transpired that "you had anything to do with putting it on Twitter".
There are precedents for legal action to find out the names of individuals behind some Twitter accounts.
'Everybody knows anyway'
Publicist Max Clifford told the BBC that while leaked information on Twitter has a limited impact, journalists can try to use it as leverage.
"It appears to be out of control. It's a strong bargaining chip as journalists want to say, 'Everybody knows anyway,'" he said.
Mr Clifford said some kind of balance must be struck to protect privacy and freedom of speech.
The publicist said: "Super-injunctions and injunctions are purely a law for the rich, and purely there to protect the rich.
"What you need is some halfway house between the invading of people's privacy and freedom of the press and information both of which are vital in a democracy."
Twitter has been resisting attempts by the US government to subpoena information on a number of users in relation to the Wikileaks affair.
Media lawyer Nick Lockett said the legal action against Twitter may not have much effect.
"What will have to be established is that Twitter was subject to the jurisdiction of the court," he said. While UK courts claim worldwide jurisdiction this has often proved hard to enforce.
In the case of the US, said Mr Lockett, the situation was complicated by the Communications Decency Act which grants immunity from prosecution for providers of "interactive computer services" under certain circumstances.
Lawyers acting for CTB may struggle to prove that Twitter does not deserve this immunity, said Mr Lockett.
However Graham Shear, a lawyer with experience of applying for super-injunctions, said he thought Twitter would comply with the court order.
"They do actually give a warning to users of the site that the users should comply with the law in the jurisdiction in which they reside and use the media network and therefore I suspect Twitter will reveal voluntarily the information," he said.
"It's simply in compliance with its own guidelines to the users, because obviously somebody has acted in breach of a court order, which has a penal notice and therefore it is an unlawful act to tweet this information."

Ian Foster has been appointed the new Head Coach of the All Blacks, New Zealand Rugby (NZR) has announced today.
54-year-old Foster will now lead the All Blacks into a new era, after eight years as Assistant Head Coach of the team.
In making the announcement, NZR Chairman Brent Impey said Foster had come through as the preferred candidate following a lengthy and robust interview process.
"The NZR Board has today ratified Ian Foster as the new Head Coach of the All Blacks from 2020. He brings world-class international experience to the role, an incredibly strong coaching team, and we think he'll do an outstanding job."
Impey said Foster had been appointed for a two-year period.
"The interview process was extensive and really difficult, which reflects the very strong applications from both candidates."
Impey said Foster would be joined by four other coaches, who will be announced in due course.
"While we can't confirm the full make-up of the coaching team today, we're delighted with the quality they bring − they have a wide range of coaching experiences and are a diverse group of thinkers.
"On behalf of New Zealand Rugby, I want to congratulate Ian on his appointment, and we wish him well for this next phase in the All Blacks' story," Impey said.
Foster said he was humbled to be selected as Head Coach.
"I feel truly privileged and honoured to be given this opportunity and I can't wait to lead the team into the next chapter of what is a remarkable legacy," he said.
"I'm incredibly proud of what we have achieved in the All Blacks over the last eight years and I'm excited and energised by a new coaching team who will join me.
"It's incredibly humbling to be appointed to the job and I have a strong desire to serve the jersey well and represent New Zealand to the best of my ability.
Incoming NZR CEO Mark Robinson also congratulated Foster, saying he had impressed the panel.
"These are exciting times. Ian has pulled together a very strong team and he is an outstanding person in his own right with a high-quality set of values.
"He is committed to stamping his own mark on the team and it's clear that he and his coaching team want to bring a new and fresh energy into the All Blacks environment."
Robinson has also acknowledged Crusaders Head Coach Scott Robertson, who also interviewed for the role.
"As someone who knows 'Razor' well as a former teammate, he was a very impressive candidate and these decisions are never easy. We know Razor is an outstanding coach and I have no doubt he'll have a big future in our game at international level."
The appointment panel for the Head Coach position was made up of Impey, Robinson, NZR Head of High Performance Mike Anthony, former All Blacks Head Coach and NZR Life Member Sir Graham Henry and former Silver Ferns Coach and High Performance Sport New Zealand director Waimarama Taumaunu.
Mini biography - Ian Foster
54-year-old Ian Foster, who succeeds Steve Hansen as Head Coach, has been Assistant Head Coach of the All Blacks since 2012 and was a key part of the coaching team which guided the team through a hugely successful period, including the unbeaten season in 2013, the Rugby World Cup victory in 2015, multiple successful Bledisloe and Freedom Cup campaigns and Investec Rugby Championships as well as Northern Tours. The team has had an 87 percent winning record over that period. Foster was one of the first Super Rugby players to transition into coaching. He spent eight years and over 100 games coaching the Chiefs before joining the All Blacks. He was a Selector and also worked alongside Steve Hansen on strategy, with a particular focus on back play and attack. Ian is the most–capped Waikato player of all time with 148 games (1985 – 1998) as well as 26 games for the Chiefs (1996 – 1998). He swapped his boots for a coach's whistle and started his coaching career as the Chiefs Technical Advisor before moving into Assistant Coach and Coach roles with Waikato. He was co-coach of the Junior All Blacks (2005-07 and 2009), when the team was unbeaten in 16 matches.

Intel Core i7-7700K, Core i7 Kaby Lake more powerful resort to 4K as hook for everyone?
arpKea June 29, 2017 Intel Core i7-7700K, Core i7 Kaby Lake more powerful resort to 4K as hook for everyone?2017-06-29T20:30:01+00:00 Technology News No Comment
Following the launch of the Broadwell-E with its 10-core model, Intel has taken advantage of the CES in Las Vegas to continue the market landing of its seventh generation of processors, 14 nm and with the Most anticipated models at the top.
We talked about the Core i7s for the most powerful desktop computers, for gamers and overclocking enthusiasts. In Xataka we have already tried for a few days the king of this generation: the Intel Core i7-7700K. Enough to consider a change from a very recent 6700K?
Kaby Lake's turn to desktop PC
Ivy Bridge, Haswell, Broadwell, Skylake and now plays Kaby Lake. Already last summer we knew the chips that would make up the seventh generation of Intel processors and today we have done the same with the most anticipated models of this generation: Core i7 and i5 for more powerful equipment.
Built at 14 nm and closely resembling the Skylake, the improved 4K video playback and focus on virtual reality are Kaby Lake hooks to convince the more general consumer market
The Kaby Lake generation is based on 14 nm technology, with very simular microarchitecture that we already know about SkyLake although improved, reason why we can consider it like a second tock, previous to the next tick that will be Cannonlake and that for now points to the Second half of 2017.
These new processors, waiting for that eighth generation and the desired step at 10 nm, are therefore an optimization of the current Skylake. Why throw it then?
Intel intends that this generation is the excuse to renew equipment and processors in laptops, computers two in one and of course in more powerful desks in a wide range of users, more pure consumption and entertainment , and are no longer immersed in Skylake. It uses the hook of the promise of a fluid 4K video as well as the striking virtual reality.
Kaby Lake and 4K video playback
Kaby Lake and 4K will be references that we will always see together. It is the great contribution that Intel points to the side of this seventh generation of its processors once the technological innovations are inherited from the previous generation for the first time.
Kaby Lake is prepared to handle native hardware via 4K 10-bit content under the H.265 codec as well as VP9. With the explosion we expect from streaming content with that resolution, the new chips are a bet for the future. And even necessary for what platforms. Streaming 4K from Netflix to Windows 10 computers will require these new Intel processors.
Breaking the tick-tock that has accompanied us to Kaby Lake has a rationale for Intel: facilitate the jump to the new chips of those who stayed a couple of generations ago and want a future chip
It is less curious that this chip of both level, in the version Core i5 and Core i7 with multiplier unlocked, has put the focus on a section where the GPU has so much to say, and assuming that whoever invests his money in it , Will not leave the whole graphic section in the new integrated graphics Iris Plus (HD630) but will have a dedicated graphics level.
What gives us first this decision and the fact of breaking the tick-tock that has accompanied us to the exit of this new generation, is that we are not processors who aspire to convince who is already with a model Skylake or even Broadwell , But to owners of previous generations. But the strategy, seen the results, does not seem to level enough in the most powerful models and with multiplier unlocked. Maybe yes for the rest of the new range of desktop chips under Kaby Lake.
New Intel Core i7-7700K
Kaby Lake reaches the desktop market with a high-end model called Core i7-7700k , quad-core at 4.2 Ghz and with a TurboBoost capable of reaching 4.5 Ghz in one of them. If we skip the 4 to 4.2 Ghz (and 4.2 to 4.5 Ghz in TurboBoost) and IGP HD630 speed increase, the rest of the specs are what the corresponding model (Core i7-6700K) in Skylake offers.
14 nm (3rd Gen)
NUCLEOS / THREADS
BASE FREQUENCY
FREQUENCY TURBO
PCI-EXPRESS LINES
There are 8 MB cache, support for DDR4 memory and a TDP of 91 W. Intel claims that the 14nm manufacturing process has been improved to achieve an increase in speed with the same consumption. The energy efficiency also allows to reach the speeds of the previous generation with something less of consumption. But much less we are before a jump of the level of the fifth generation Broadwell.
The socket used is the same as in the previous generation, LGA 1151, something that will allow reuse of boards of the previous generation if the BIOS is updated, although it is advisable to choose already those that will be presented these days and with chipsets already fully prepared for To receive Kaby Lake.
For testing the new Intel Core i7-7700K we used our test equipment provided by ASUS. The ASUS G11 Desktop PC has a base equipment made up of the Intel Core i7 6700 (Skylake) at 3.4 Ghz accompanied by 16 GB of DDR4 2126 Mhz RAM and an Nvidia GTX980 graphics.
For the performance test we will use the usual software, as well as tests with games and different applications in controlled environments, so that we can compare the performance with the reference models of the previous generation with both the multiplier unlocked (Core i7- 6700K) as the majority consumer, the Core i7-6700. As an extra in the comparative we wanted to add the results that we obtained in our test with the Intel Core i7-6950X, model Broadwell-E with 10 cores.
Intel Core i7-7700k Performance
As I have already advanced, the reference model for this new generation of the most powerful Intel Core is the Intel Core i7-7700K, chip that we have been testing for a few days and we leave you with the results of our analysis.
The comparison we started with two tests Javascript that will give us an idea of the performance of the team in web browsing tasks and HTML5. Here we can see how critical each Mhz of our chip is equal to cores and threads. The 4 to 4.2 GHz increase of the previous high-end chip under Skylake leaves a mark, but nothing significant.
The next test we submit to the processors is Winrar. In three test banks, we perform compressions of different data packets, varying both the number and the size of each packet.
The differences are logically shortened when the compression task involves only 720p videos that occupy a total of 6 GB. In any case there is no overall performance improvement that exceeds 4-5%.
We finally ordered the processor to compress 560 MB distributed in 2801 files into 168 folders. This does not come into play the amount of MHz as the wires available to the processor, hence with 4/8 and 4/8 in both generations, even here the new chip has been below Skylake (and very Below the 10 Broadwell-E nuclei).
The third test battery to the Intel Core i7-7700k is dedicated to video conversion. We use Handbrake, recently upgraded to version 1.0. We used the previous version, which was with which we did the tests to previous processors. From now on we will do them with the latest version of the software.
Having seen these first results and the comparison with the previous high range for overclocking Intel under Skylake, interest in the new chips of the giant under the new generation is not to look for in these models unlocked if you already have the previous generation in Home, but in the mass consumer market where the tasks of encoding / decoding content 4K HEVC and VP9 happen to be performed natively by the hardware.

The Apollo's work is organized around a set of core initiatives: Apollo Music (African American and culturally diverse artists); Signature programs (Amateur Night, Salon Series and the Apollo Music Café); Legacy Series (work that celebrates and extends our legacy in a more contemporary way); Global Festival (international and U.S. based artists presentations focused under a specific theme); Special Projects (multidisciplinary work with partner organizations).
Since introducing the first Amateur Night contests in 1934, the Apollo Theater has served as a testing ground for new artists working across a variety of art forms, and has ushered in the emergence of many new musical genres – including jazz, swing, bebop, R&B, gospel, blues, soul, and hip-hop. Among the countless legendary performers who launched their careers at the Apollo are Lauryn Hill, Machine Gun Kelly, Miri Ben Ari, D'Angelo, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, James Brown, Michael Jackson, Gladys Knight, Luther Vandross, and Stevie Wonder; and the Apollo's forward-looking artistic vision continues to build on this legacy.

Everybody deserves to have a spa like bathroom that leaves them feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Their very own sanctuary in the home. However, there aren't many people who want to spend a fortune renovating it! Good news. With this quick and simple DIY guide, you'll get some fabulous tips to leave your bathroom beautiful and worthy of a place in a spa. Enjoy.
Natural, earthy tones helps to give the room an organic feel. Shades of green and blue can also generate feelings of relaxation, as they are natural calming colours. The colour scheme you choose can play a huge part in how you feel in the bathroom.
Bear in mind that you can also use pattern if you want to add personality, but the whole theme shouldn't be too energising if you want a spa feel.
Add life to your bathroom with suitable plants. This gives it a more professional, up market feel and purifies the air at the same time. You can also add fake plants for aesthetic purposes.
Make sure you decorate to encourage a prolonged stay in the bathroom. Use things like bath trays and candles to make your bathroom a wonderful place to relax.
Focus on the small details. For instance, start to put everything in uniformed jars and get rid of labels, as they can make a bathroom look cluttered.
The infographic below will give you a few more great hacks you can use.

Q: File close fails I got some problem to close properly a write operation to a file from an EditText.
Since the close() method is put in a finally block, first time I got the error 'cannot resolve...'. Then I forced the statement to be part of the scope.
Unfortunately, now my write operation works only for the first line entered, the others are marked 'null'.
Where must I put the close() statement to not produce any error and write all the lines entered ?
Here is my code :
    ajoutarticles =  (EditText)findViewById(R.id.edtajouter);
    btnajouter = (Button)this.findViewById(R.id.btnajouter);

    btnajouter.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        //File path  = new File(this.getFilesDir().getPath());
        public void onClick(View v) {

            PrintWriter printWriter = null;
            try {
                choix = ajoutarticles.getText().toString();
                File output2 = new File(getApplicationContext().getExternalFilesDir(null), "shopping.txt");
                FileWriter fileWriter = new FileWriter(output2.getAbsolutePath(), true);
                BufferedWriter buffer = new BufferedWriter(fileWriter);
                printWriter = new PrintWriter(buffer);
                printWriter.println(choix);

                //Toast.makeText(ListeCourses.this, String.valueOf(i), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                Toast.makeText(ListeCourses.this, String.valueOf(choix), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                Log.d("MainActivity", "Ligne du fichier = [" + choix + "]");
                Log.d("MainActivity", "Fichier = [" + output2 + "]");

            } catch (IOException e) {
                Log.e("Exception", "File write failed: " + e.toString());
            } finally {
                printWriter.close(); // Error
            }
        }

    });

Kids with autism less likely to be fully vaccinated
By Guest Author • 03/04/2018
Phoebe Roth, The Conversation
Children with autism and their younger siblings are less likely to be fully vaccinated than neurotypical children and their siblings, new research from the US has found.
Of children aged seven years and older, 94% of neurotypical children had received all the recommended vaccinations for children aged 4-6 years. For those with autism, the rate was 82%.
It has been two decades since Andrew Wakefield's now retracted and widely discredited study in The Lancet falsely linked the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine to autism.
This new study, published today in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, suggests many parents still have concerns around vaccines and autism.
The study included 3,729 children with autism and 592,907 neurotypical children who were born between 1995 and 2010, and their younger siblings born between 1997 and 2014.
Children with autism were observed after diagnosis; matched with neurotypical children based on age, sex and location. Researchers reviewed what proportion of each group had received the vaccines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at 4-6 years and 11-12 years.
"We found that after children received an autism diagnosis, the rates of vaccination were significantly lower when compared with children of the same age who did not have an autism diagnosis," said lead author Ousseny Zerbo, a researcher at Kaiser Permanente.
Younger siblings
The vaccine adherence of the younger siblings was studied at 1-11 months, 1-2 years, 4-6 years, and 11-12 years.
The highest rates of under-vaccination in this study were among siblings of children with autism in the 1-11 months and 1-2 years age groups.
In the youngest age group, 73% of younger siblings of children with autism were fully vaccinated, compared with 85% of younger siblings of neurotypical children. In 1-2-year-olds, this was 60% compared with 71%.
At 4-6 years, 83% of younger siblings of children with autism were fully vaccinated, compared with 95% of younger siblings of neurotypical children.
This suggests some parents consider the potential risks of autism associated with vaccination to be highest at these younger ages at which more vaccines are recommended. However, as their children grow older, these parents may be more willing to vaccinate.
Autism and vaccine hesitancy
Despite the fluctuation between age groups, the disparities in vaccination rates between children with autism and neurotypical children, and their younger siblings, are reasonably consistent (with the exception of the 11-12-year-old age group).
While this research was quantitative in nature and therefore not able to give insight into why these disparities exist, the authors said parental vaccine refusal would likely play a role.
Sydney University's Dr Nicholas Wood, who was not involved in the study, said this could be the case on two fronts. For children with autism, parents might resist administering further vaccinations for fear of worsening the condition; a notion which is not grounded in evidence.
For the younger siblings, parents might feel the early childhood vaccinations caused autism in their older child, and are therefore unwilling to have their subsequent children vaccinated.
"Traditionally there has been a thinking that ASD (autism spectrum disorder) is linked with the MMR vaccine," Wood said.
Looking specifically at the MMR vaccine, 96% of neurotypical children were vaccinated at 4-6 years, compared with 84% of those with autism.
Of the younger siblings of neurotypical children, 94% received their MMR vaccination for 1-2 years, while for siblings of children with autism in the same age group, the rate was 77%. These figures suggest Wakefield's 1998 study continues to generate fear.
"Parents of ASD kids may be worried; they may still feel that the MMR vaccine led to autism. And that a second dose may cause a regression," Wood said.
While the MMR vaccine had the lowest uptake of all the vaccines studied among children with an ASD and their younger siblings, Wood noted parents' concerns surrounding MMR appeared to have translated across to other vaccines, too.
The Murdoch Children's Research Institute's Dr Margie Danchin, who wasn't involved with the study, said this research provides important information on parents' behaviour. Clinically, she sees concerns expressed by parents about vaccines and autism every week – and this study is evidence these concerns translate into behaviour on a population level, albeit in the US.
"What it really highlights is that we as health care providers have a lot of work to do to reassure parents that there is no association. The evidence is clear that there is no causal link," Danchin said.
In 2017, Danchin and her colleagues published research in an Australian setting which found 16% of mothers who were pregnant for the first time were concerned vaccines can cause autism.
"This study needs to be followed up with qualitative research. By speaking to these parents, we can drill down on what their specific concerns are so that we can develop better strategies to reassure them and increase vaccine uptake," she said.

Cropthorne with Charlton is a well-equipped school with four classes. We concentrate on the development of children's knowledge and skills and also offer exciting opportunities across the full range of school subjects.
On a number of occasions during each year parents are invited to discuss their child's work with the class teacher. In addition, we operate an 'open door' policy where you are welcome to discuss matters of concern at any time. Towards the end of the summer term all children receive a written report of progress throughout the year.
While children are with us they are all encouraged to learn to play a musical instrument and specialist teachers come into school to work with the pupils. All Key Stage 2 children are taught an instrument as part of the music curriculum. These include clarinet, recorder, violin, guitar and ukulele.
Enjoyment of the arts is particularly important at Cropthorne and children are given numerous opportunities to partake in drama, dance and art activities. Our art work has even been displayed at the National Gallery, London, an achievement we are all very proud of and which resulted in a whole school family trip to London. All children in the school participate in a whole school production each year, performing at No. 8 theatre, Pershore.
We take real pride in our school learning environment which has been developed to enhance the curriculum. The school is bright and welcoming and children's work proudly presented. We have a well-developed 'Forest School' at the bottom of our field, shared with pre-school, and used by Key Stage 1 and 2 trained staff. In addition, every class has its own outside area to enhance classroom experiences.
A healthy lifestyle is integral to our philosophy and children are encouraged to eat well and take regular exercise. In addition to two hours dedicated curriculum PE various extra-curricular sporting clubs run throughout the year, including netball, football and athletics. Various outside agencies are invited into school to share their expertise, including cricket, rugby and tennis coaches. All children attend swimming lessons at the local pool.
Although we have no school kitchen, hot meals are delivered daily from a local provider and are very popular. All KS1 children are entitled to a free hot dinner.
There is drinking water in each classroom and all children have their own drinking bottle.
Information Technology (IT) permeates the whole curriculum. We have a bank of 30 netbooks which can be used anywhere in school and in addition each class has computers of their own and an inter-active whiteboard. All P.Cs have broadband internet access and are fully networked so that children can access their work anywhere.
Our school is a member of the Bredon First Schools group (The Bredon Moles). The schools in the group co-operate to provide sporting, music, science and other events each year for their pupils. We all work hard to foster the values of a traditional village school where the children live in harmony together, developing respect for each other and their surroundings. Politeness and taking care of the school environment is expected at all times.
Child Protection is of paramount importance and all staff are trained accordingly. Copies of our safeguarding policy can be downloaded from the 'policies' section of the website.
We aim for cleanliness and smartness so that children feel pride in being part of the Cropthorne with Charlton school community. All school uniform can be purchased from 'The School Shop', 26 High Street, Evesham. WR114HJ.
Girls: Grey skirt/pinafore or trousers, white polo shirt and blue sweatshirt, white socks or grey tights.
In warm weather, blue gingham dress, blue cardigan or sweatshirt.
Jewellery: If ears are pierced, single studs may be worn.
Sports Clothing: White t-shirt with school logo (available from The School Shop), blue shorts and plimsolls.

KUH, EMIL:
By: Isidore Singer, Meyer Kayserling
Austrian poet and novelist; born Dec. 13, 1828, at Vienna; died Dec. 30, 1876, at Meran; studied philosophy and history at the University of Vienna. In 1847 he took temporary charge of his father's business, and for a few years afterward was employed by the Nordbahn (Northern R. R.), resigning to devote himself to literature. During a short stay in Berlin he became a Roman Catholic (1857), and in 1858 took up his residence in Vienna, where he was well known as a writer and critic for the leading papers of the Austrian empire.
In 1864 Kuh was appointed professor of German language and literature at the Vienna Commercial College (Handelsschule), but was compelled by ill health to resign after a few years and retire to Meran. He published the following works: "Friedrich Hebbel" (Vienna, 1854); "Drei Erzählungen" (Troppau, 1857); "Gedichte" (Brunswick, 1858); "Dichterbuch aus Oesterreich" (Vienna, 1863); "Ueber Neuere Lyrik" (ib. 1865); "Adalbert Stifter" (ib. 1868); "Zwei Dichter Oesterreichs" (Budapest, 1872); "Biographie Friedrich Hebbel's" (Vienna, 1877). Together with G. Glaser he published the "Gesammelte Werke von Friedrich Hebbel" (Hamburg, 1864-68), and with F. Pachler the "Nachlass" of Friedrich Halm (Vienna, 1872). The "Wiener Jahrbuch für Israeliten" contains some of his poems. Kuh's correspondence with Theodor Storm was published by his son Paul Kuh in vol. 67 of "Westermann's Monatshefte" (1889-90).

06: Sake Can Be Tasted At Various Temperatures!!
In my previous column, I wrote that sake is like "Otaku world", because there are so many brands all over Japan like characters in anime or video games. Not only is there a variety of brands, sake has many different ways to drink.
Sake can be tasted at various temperatures. Sake is served chilled (about 10 degrees Celsius) or at room temperature (about 20 degrees Celsius) like wine. Of course, it is also served at warm temperature (Called "Kan").
Kan also has different varieties. For example, sake warmed to body temperature (35~37 degrees Celsius. Called "Hitohada-Kan"), sake warmed to about 40 degrees (called "Nuru-Kan"), sake warmed to about 50 degrees (called "Atsu-Kan"), etc.
When sake is warmed, the unique aroma and sweetness of the sake increases. So you might feel that the same sake is a completely different drink by differences of temperature.
"There are many characters, and sometimes one character turns into another character"・・・It's really like the world of anime or video games, don't you think?
By the way, at what temperature should we drink sake? It depends on personal taste, but there are also the best temperatures for each type of sake. For example, it is said that "Ginjo" and "Daiginjo" (I explained these in my last column) are good to drink chilled or at room temperature. This is because malic acid, the origin of their fruity aroma and clear taste, deteriorates in warm temperatures. In contrast, "normal sake" is suited for drinking at "Kan".
In recent years, the best temperature specified by each sake brewery is written on their sake bottle.
To warm up sake, we pour it into a small flask made of porcelain or pottery (called "tokkuri"), and put it into a pot filled with boiled water. We sometimes use a microwave oven also.
We drink this warmed Sake with small cappuccino-sized cups made of porcelain or pottery (called "Ochoko"). Because we cannot guzzle hot beverages, we need to drink it in sips.
When we drink cold sake or room-temperature sake, we use glasses.
Since "Ochoko" is so small, we must pour the sake into it many times. You might think it's a little bit complicated. However, it's a ritual used to form closer relationships in Japan. Communication occurs by serving sake to each other and we can get familiar with each other very soon!!

calcium they contain. Putting aside for the moment the fact that there are many nondairy sources of calcium that offer other benefits to health (e.g., leafy greens), the link between dairy intake and bone health is mostly theoretical. Now, a large cohort study in Sweden has provided evidence that not only does milk intake not prevent bone fractures, it may actually increase fracture incidence in women. Further, the study suggests that greater milk intake is associated with increased mortality in both sexes.
In the study, as reported in the British Medical Journal, researchers looked at the self-reported milk intake of two large cohorts: one of over 45,000 men and another of over 61,000 women. For up to 20 years, the researchers tracked fracture incidence and mortality in both cohorts. They found that milk had no effect on fracture risk in males, but that increased milk intake slightly increased the risk of hip fractures in females (HR = 1.09).
What was perhaps even more surprising was the finding that those who drank more milk had a large increase in mortality risk. Compared with women who drank less than one glass of milk per day, those who drank three glasses or more had a mortality hazard ratio of 1.93, meaning they were nearly twice as likely to die. The researchers found that every glass of milk consumed added to the risk of mortality, though the effect was more pronounced in females.
The researchers found this association only with milk consumption, as opposed to other dairy products. In fact, they found that women with high intakes of cheese or fermented milk products had lower mortality and fracture rates compared with women with lower intakes of these products. For each additional serving, the rate of mortality and hip fractures was reduced by 10 to 15%.
So why the difference? Why would milk alone cause deleterious health effects while yogurt and cheese seem to prevent them? The researchers' hypothesis is that the causative agent for milk's negative effects on health is D-galactose, which makes up half of the disaccharide lactose (the other half is glucose). Galactose has been linked to several health impacts in animals, including oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, neurodegeneration, decreased immune response, and shortened life span. In fact, introducing galactose by diet or injection is an established animal model of aging. Accordingly, the researchers in the present study found a positive association between milk intake and both urine 8-iso-PGF2? (a biomarker of oxidative stress) and serum interleukin 6 (an inflammatory biomarker).
On the other hand, yogurt and cheeses contain little to no lactose or galactose, thanks to the activity of bacteria on these sugars. While the presence of galactose is not the only difference between these dairy products and milk, the current findings are at least consistent with the idea that galactose may underlie the negative health impact of milk.

For many early careerists, the first step up the post-doctorate ladder is working as an associate lecturer or teaching fellow. The precise nature of these posts can vary widely. Some contracts are paid on an hourly basis—literally or virtually including hours for preparation and marking—while others are contracted as a percentage of a full-time equivalent position, or FTE. The latter Is more likely to include a clearly defined number of preparation and administration hours, but, like the former, these may or may not remotely resemble the amount of time you actually spend. Nor can all FTE contracts be considered full-time positions. In recent years, I have seen them range from 0.1 FTE (or a half a day) to 1.0 (or a 35 nominal hours a week) and everything in between. Moreover, as teaching staff, you will only be paid during term-time and usually not more than ten months out of a year.
In the end, whichever arrangement you and your employer reach, a teaching position is just that—teaching. Any research activities you undertake will be done without direct recompense or—in most cases—any form of financial support. If you intend to continue your research, and most certainly intend to do so, choices have to be made about how you spend your time. Many will simply put their research on hold until term breaks while others will forgo those eight daily hours they used to waste on sleep. But while a teaching fellowship can cause bone-shattering exhaustion, it does not need to. There are some choices you can make to keep your research alive, without becoming the walking dead yourself.
I had taught two of these modules previously and two were wholly new to me and required significant redesign. I did not submit any new material for publication during these ten months, but was able to undertake a significant amount of primary research and successfully obtained a permanent position for the following academic year. The following are my five top tips for keeping up with your research during a teaching fellowship. Some of them I learned the hard way.
Schedule research hours, rather than research days.
This is probably the most important, and most ignored, piece of advice I can give. Everyone has their own particular work pattern. Some are night owls, others larks. Some like to work in short energetic bursts, others in long, deeply reflective stretches. However, as a teaching fellow or part-time lecturer, you will find your schedule continually intruded upon by students, other staff and fellow postdocs. The idea of a research day, where you can shut your door and concentrate your mind completely on the work at hand, will almost certainly remain an unobtainable ideal. Instead, allocate yourself research hours—60 minutes (or even thirty) when you can literally hide from the outside world, and especially your email. These mini-disappearances will give you the space to read, write and contemplate during your working week, but will not be so conspicuous that others will intrude upon them. They will also help you work during social-able hours, rather than relegate your research to late nights or weekends, when your mind is least rested and least able to undertake complicated analysis.
Combine book reviewing and lecture writing.
I have been told that writing book reviews is a waste of a postdoc's time, that they do not count as 'real' publications but still devour a great deal of precious time. This is certainly true if you read any book that happens to fall into your lap; however, a pro-active career in reviewing can be a profitable one. During my fellowship, I contacted (and was contacted by) a number publishing firms and journals about textbooks and monographs relevant to the modules I was teaching. Some simply offered a free review copy; one granted me book vouchers in return for a more substantial assessment. By reviewing these books, I was not only able to add a small number of entries to my publication list, I was able to amass a small library of recently published monographs (something I was not able to do in my impoverished student-hood), to enrich my understanding of historiography beyond my specialism and, most pragmatically, to quickly and easily develop historiographical overviews for my lectures. Indeed, on at least two occasions a book I reviewed was so well constructed and interesting that I based an entire lecture around it.
Make your lectures formulaic to include research-focused teaching.
If your teaching fellowship requires a great deal of lecture writing, try to make those lectures as formulaic as possible. First, find a rhythm that works for you and the material; for example, a narrative overview, followed by an analysis of themes, followed by a brief overview of the historiographical debate. Doing this serves a number of purposes. First, work will always fill the time allotted to it. By setting strict guidelines for your lecture—15 minutes on scouring textbooks to develop a cohesive narrative, fifteen from your own experience on the meaning of key themes, and 15 on researching and explaining key authors—you will stop yourself from creating far more material than you can deliver or your students can absorb. Second, students appreciate consistency. The content of your lecture should be engaging, but structural stability will help students assimilate the material week to week. If you are teaching within your field, creating a formula will also allow you a bit of space each week to share your own research, something much enjoyed by students who want to be taught by experts.
Teach your methodology, not just your field.
In an ideal world, after three to five years of postgraduate research, you will teach modules that directly align to your field. In reality, you may end up teaching modules for which you have little specialist knowledge. In these cases, you may feel the need to read dozens of monographs or to fundamentally reshape the lecture series to resemble your dissertation. The former will completely devour your time, leaving none for continuing your research; the latter will annoy students and colleagues who have hired you to teach the module you were given, not simply your dissertation. One solution is to teach your methodology, not your field. Having spent three years on Scottish migration in the 1800s, I was able to fill my Atlantic World lectures with a deep knowledge of social history methods. Each week I spent 10-15 minutes explaining key vocabulary and concepts, which I knew well, and then explaining how they applied to a broader narrative of sixteenth-century New Spain or seventeenth-century New France. Students gained from my specialist understanding of the methodology, and were able to gain the fine details through their own individual research. This may seem like cheating, but it is not. Having spent the first six lectures attempting to drown my students in specialist detail throughout the lecture, I realised they gained much more from a moderated flow than a flood.
Finally, remember your contract hours.
Whether you work for an hourly wage, or as part of a fractional contract, you are expected to complete your work within a particular time-frame. As many academics, especially postdocs, are committed to 'doing their best', this often results in 40- or 80-hour weeks rather than the 35 they are actually contracted for. Although you are and should be expected to competently perform the duties for which you were hired, it would be exploitative to implicitly demand you to work twice or three times your paid hours. As I said before, work will always fill the time allotted to it. Work hard, but also work smartly. If you genuinely cannot write a good lecture, plan your seminars and mark your essays within your contract hours, you should stand up for your rights and demand either additional pay or a more reasonable workload. You'd be surprised how concerned your permanent colleagues are about the casualisation of teaching and will help you in your quest. Moreover, if you are on a term-time contract, do not spend unpaid months preparing for your teaching. If you devote both your paid and unpaid time to teaching, you will never find time to research. There are simply not enough hours in the day.
In the end, I gained a great deal from my teaching fellowship—from my students and my (very supportive) colleagues—but it was also exhausting. Perhaps if I had followed my own advice a bit more closely from the start, I might have slept a bit better, or, at least, a bit more often.

When did horses become a girl thing?
Source: Helena Lopes
Horses have been an integral part of the human military for thousands of years, carrying Warriors into battle and whatnot.
So how come that, despite these close ties to a stereotypical "manly" job, horses these days are depicted as a thing mainly for girls, from toys to tv shows? When did this change occur, if there even really was one.
Question asked by: Merandil
In order to address this question, it is necessary to limit it to a time and place. From the context of the question (which looks at books, movies and the like), the question is aimed at current Western culture.
The answer lies in changes in perceptions of gender relations in the West over the last century or so, as well as changes in technology over the same time.
There are in fact some studies written in this exact subject – the most recent being Horse Crazy: Girls and the Lives of Horses by Jean O'Malley Halley (University of Georgia Press, 2019): https://www.worldcat.org/title/horse-crazy-girls-and-the-lives-of-horses/oclc/1112670547
Her basic thesis is that the "horsey girl" (her terminology) is a girl who has found a socially acceptable way to defy the gender expectations of girl-dom — girls may find freedom and power in a highly traditional way (the horse has long been a symbol of freedom and power for men), engage in muscular exercise and challenge – all without falling critically afoul of societal gender norms. While I don't agree with everything in her work, this basic thesis has merit.
The basis for social acceptance of a love of horses by girls in particular was laid through, among other things, the so-called "pony book" genre. The forerunner of this is the seminal Black Beauty, an 1877 novel by English author Anna Sewell – one of the best-selling books of all time. Black Beauty was above all a book that caused the reader to empathize with horses (it had a huge impact on the anti-animal cruelty movement); it became more socially acceptable to see horses, not as mere transportation, but as beings in their own right; and women (and girls) tended to be at the forefront of that. The socially acceptable female gender role of nurturing made empathy for animals a natural, and acceptable, extension.
Note as well the title of the book "Black Beauty". Horses have always been seen as beautiful, graceful animals (as well as powerful). Here, the beauty of the animal is emphasized.
In this way, horses come to symbolize both empathy for others (the relationship between a girl and her horse), beauty and grace, and power and freedom (the age-old feeling of control over a massively powerful animal to travel at speed). This is an intoxicating mixture, which allows girls to both meet and defy gender norms, and explains the powerful attraction horses have for some girls.
Of course, all this must be seen in context – a context in which female expressions of freedom and power were, as a result of the rise of feminism, becoming more socially acceptable.
At the same time, changes in technology were rendering the horse more or less obsolete as a functional mode of transportation. When Black Beauty was written, of course, horses were still the primary mode of transport – and being condemned to be a cart-horse a realistic fate. By the late 1920s, of course, the use of horses as transport was on the decline, replaced by the motor car.
And it is exactly at that time that the so-called "pony book" genre caught on: http://www.collectingbooksandmagazines.com/ponybook.html
These books were published from the late 1920s, starting with Golden Gorse's "The Young Rider" in 1928; they have never entirely fallen out of fashion.
These books were expressly aimed at young girls, and they mark the true inflection point – where horses became, in the West, a "thing for girls" (though they never ceased being a "thing for boys" as well, of course).

Excellent response.


A Great Day of Pancake Races!!!
"Shrove Tuesday is the day before Lent starts on Ash Wednesday. The name Shrove comes from the old middle English word 'Shriven' meaning to go to confession to say sorry for the wrong things you've done. Lent always starts on a Wednesday, so people went to confessions on the day before. This became known as Shriven Tuesday and then Shrove Tuesday.
NEW YORK: Episcopal Relief & Development is working with the Fellowship of Middle East Evangelical Churches (FMEEC) to respond to the needs of people displaced by the ongoing unrest in Syria.
This FMEEC partnership will provide blankets, clothing, stoves and fuel during the harsh winter months to 2,850 people newly displaced who are living in the Aleppo, Homs and Hama governorates. Aleppo and Homs have been the center of the conflict. Many homes and buildings have been destroyed and people don't have access to basic services.
"While it is hard to say goodbye to the great people of St. George's, Hilton, who welcomed me as a newly ordained priest five years ago, and to the city and diocese of Rochester, where I have lived and worked since 1994, I am very excited with God's calling for ministry and mission with the people of St. Matthew's, Liverpool. I'm also grateful to Bishop. Singh for all of his support over the last nine years, and for the opportunity to continue to lead the College for Congregational Development."
In his letter to the church in Ephesus, Paul writes, "I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, and for this reason I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers." Ephesians 1:15-16.
"Leading the Witness," a leadership and vestry retreat, promises to be fun and formational.
Bishop Prince Singh gave the Keynote Address at the annual meeting of the Greater Rochester Community of Churches - Faith In Action Network this week. The title of the GRCC annual report for 2018 reads: "People of Faith Moving Forward in an Angry World." Bishop Singh's address gave inspirational direction on how to move forward in such a world.
