In an effort to provide denominational services and connections as close to the field as possible, Executive Director Clint Cook has appointed a team of Field Representatives to provide personal connections to General Baptist pastors. The Barnabas Project intends to establish personal connections to General Baptist pastors through regular, planned contact.
These Field Representatives have agreed to make personal contact with the pastors in their care by a phone call or by in-person conversation two to three times annually. They will address the specific areas of concern identified by the executive director while also being sensitive to the needs and concerns of the pastors in their assigned group.
As much as possible the current listing of General Baptist pastors has been divided into regional listings with some specialized groupings. Some of the regions are small enough geographically that the field representative will be able to attend Presbytery and Ordaining Council meetings to establish direct, personal connections. In other regions contact will be primarily by phone.
For more information or to provide updated contact information please contact: Congregational Ministries at 573-785-7746 or by e-mail.
Two things stand out to me now that the Barnabas Project is up and running. The first is that General Baptist churches have some of the best pastors in the entire world. Having had many opportunities to talk with many different pastors from different church backgrounds – small churches of less than 20 to large churches running several hundred – I have been impressed with the heart of each and every one to make an impact for the Kingdom of God. As a whole, I have found our pastors to be genuinely and passionately concerned for the future of the church, of the General Baptist movement, and the lost in their midst.
The second thing that strikes me about The Barnabas Project is the depth of compassion, grace and care that is found in the team that makes up the regional representatives. This group of men cares greatly for the Kingdom of God and His servants. They are going above and beyond what has been asked of them, in many cases doing things for pastors that were never even conceived in the Barnabas Project plans.
In many ways this assignment has forced me to be intentional in an area where I should have been anyway. As a pastor I need other pastors around me who face the same challenges while sharing wisdom, strategies and concern. Creating many new relationships and strengthening some old ones has proven to be very rewarding. I believe the Kingdom is benefited when men of God come together for the worthwhile cause of mutual encouragement, inspiration, and improvement. Connecting with all these pastors and building these relationships will no doubt pay dividends well into the future for all involved. I believe great opportunities and potential lies within the networks that are forming as a result of the Barnabas project!
When the Barnabas Project began, Pastor Pete White was my field representative. I thought then that this ministry would be so helpful to all of us General Baptist pastors who faithfully labor in our churches day after day without much fanfare or pastoral care. It was comforting to know that Pete's help was always just a phone call away. Only God could know that in less than a year our roles would be reversed, and suddenly, I would become Pete's Barnabas. Seemingly, out of the blue, a serious heart attack that Pete suffered changed the course and focus of Pete's life and ministry.
At the time of this writing, Pete has had to step away from the Barnabas Project so he can give his energies to his recovery and to the continuing needs of his own family and his congregation. Pete's story is just another reminder that we pastors are certainly not insulated from the same physical, emotional, and spiritual issues that plaque the congregants to whom we minister every day. Pastors, too, need encouragement, guidance, and prayer. That is what I need, and that is what I am, with God's help, now privileged to offer Pete and the other pastors under my care. I will always be just a phone call away.
As to being a part of the Barnabas Project, I have found it to be a personal blessing to get to talk to the men of God who serve our churches. Most of the guys on my list are bi-vocational. They are trying to work a secular job, raise a family and see to the spiritual needs of their respective congregations. Most of the phone calls they get are not positive. It is usually about someone who has died, is sick, in the hospital or upset and leaving the church. Rarely do they get phone calls that are encouraging.
I get to be the one who calls and says, "Thank You. How can I pray for you? How can I help you?" Most of the answers are the same, there's not enough time, not enough volunteers, leadership training that needs to be done or just being able to balance all the responsibilities that go along with bi-vocational ministry. However, just to hear an encouraging word and a sympathetic voice means a lot to these men. Over and over they tell me, "I needed this today." or "Thanks for the encouragement." How wonderful to be able to tell a person who is giving his life to family, community, job and church that they are doing a good job and are appreciated.
Seriously, my life has been impacted by getting to be an encourager. Each time I pray with a pastor my own life is strengthened, my circle of friends becomes larger (Prayer of Jabez) and I am encouraged myself.
What an honor to be asked to serve on the Barnabas team!
Part of the assignment is to be an encourager to other pastors and as a pastor I know the ups and downs of a pastor's life. Yet, as I have talked with many of these men of God, I am the one being encouraged. They serve in cities, towns and rural communities but mostly in small to medium size churches. They share a common love for God and for their people. Even when life is hard, and so many are working a second or third job, they just want to see people grow in their faith and people come to know Christ.
What a privilege to visit with pastors who have been preaching for their entire adult lives yet they are still looking forward to helping others through their ministry even when most would be thinking about retiring.
I am thankful to be part of this ministry. I am a pastor and I have a heart for other pastors. Beyond this, I am inspired by the faithful people who have served many years in ministry, some under adverse and challenging settings. In spite of these challenges, the pastors keep on serving! They serve in out-of-the-way places that won't make headlines in the daily papers.
I'm also struck by the fact that each of these ministers have expressed a passion to see more people come to know Christ. I've noticed that most of these servants aren't asking for help from the denomination like I had anticipated they would. What they seem to desire is that someone give value to them as people and connect with them person-to- person. It seems this type of effort in being personal and personally interested in local leaders touches them where they live.
It is interesting to learn some of the more personal stories like the brother who attends county fairs to share the gospel from a booth. Another pastor told of going to Africa and being privileged to share the gospel with hundreds in an evangelistic crusade. A lot goes on in the lives of these pastors as they seek to share Christ with their world.
Overall, I've been enriched by these connections. After our conversations, sometimes I am saddened by the sadness in their lives as they minister in challenging places. Always our conversations leave me feeling gratitude that I get to serve alongside these folks.
The Barnabas Project is great new ministry for our movement. It seems like too many pastors feel they are doing ministry alone, and this simply isn't true. We have many churches in our movement, and that means we have many pastors also. The greatest thing about this is that we are tasked with the same mission no matter where our churches are located. We are all called to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to make disciples! The Barnabas Project encourages our pastors in this mission.
I have been blessed in the Barnabas Project by the selection of this team. The group itself reveals well thought out members offering their regions special and unique perspectives from the pastor's special talent and needs. I receive blessings from other pastors when I pray for them to be blessed. It is a blessing to see the motives and godly mission they display by wanting their churches to grow in numbers, in spirit, and in God's word.
The road map of ministry includes calling, preparation, active service and finally the time of rest when tested and tried servants share their journey. The Barnabas project also has a road map of service. There are signs on the pastor's map that he/she may need extra support. The road sign on the map of each minister's journey may be grief and loss, disappointments, emotional problems, family struggles or even self-destructive behavior. It may even be pastoral burnout (giving out of self, without refilling, or lack of family support). Each minister can be vulnerable and all ministers seem to have a case of compassion-fatigue at some point in time.
My heroes have always been 'preachers', pastors and men of God standing on principle. It has been my desire to have a journey filled with successful ministry that mentors others, not perfect but humble, obedient and supportive, filled with unconditional love. I continue to have the desire to learn from these godly men working in the vineyard of life. The Map is laid out. Life's journey is before us not behind us and the obstacles can be turned into blessings.

A Hockey Life
He's a product of the Canadian hockey system. He's a Dutch National Champion. He's a hockey lifer with an enduring competitive spirit, softened only by his young son, Guinn. He's a new ALSD Board of Advisors member. He's Matt Hill, Senior Director of Suite Sales and Service for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
By Jared Frank, ALSD
It's a Tuesday afternoon, which means Matt Hill is fresh off of a scheduled workout, complete with flipping tires and pushing sleds, a tribute to his glory days as a professional hockey player. What started as a workout challenge from a client quickly turned into a department-wide routine.
"One of my clients has a gym in the back of his office space with 50 yards of turf and all of the new innovative training equipment," Matt says. "I asked him if I could bring my team sometime, which quickly became something we do every Tuesday and Thursday. It's great team building."
A hockey player by birthright, Matt Hill has always been an athlete, with a competitive spirit that melted off the ice and onto the sales floor. And while limited now to recreational activity, he does still get to lace up his skates every now and then.
"Ask him what Steve Yzerman said about his skating." That's what Steve Griggs, CEO of the Tampa Bay Lightning, said when I probed him for the inside info on Matt. Turns out Mr. Yzerman, General Manager for the Lightning, thinks Matt Hill is a pretty good hockey player, but with one criticism. But more on that later.
In the fall 2015 issue of SEAT, as part of a brief profile to announce Matt as a new ALSD Board of Advisors member, the ALSD learned that Matt Hill's most memorable sports moment as a hockey player was winning the Dutch National Championship in 2001 with the Amsterdam Boretti Tigers. It turns out there are a lot more memories for this hockey lifer.
I thought we'd start with your glory days as a hockey player before you became a hockey seller. Can you give us a rundown of your playing career?
I'm from the east coast of Canada, a little town called Bedford, which is outside Halifax. So I came through those ranks. Then I went on to play Midget AAA, which is sort of the feeder system to move along. I went from there to a Division III school in Vermont called Middlebury College, where I played for one season. It was an unbelievable experience, but it just wasn't enough hockey for me.
I wanted to play more, so I went back up north to play junior hockey, then some Canadian university hockey at St. Mary's University. Some of those guys that I played with [at St. Mary's] are still my best friends today.
Post-university hockey, I played a year in the old WPHL, which became the Central Hockey League and has since morphed into the East Coast Hockey League. We used to joke that we were in the ultra minors. I knew I was never going to get to the NHL. It was just fun to ride the bus, see some cool towns, and play in some crazy rinks.
Do you have any crazy minor league stories that are appropriate to share?
When I lived in central Texas, we were on a ten-day road trip. We were coming back from Lubbock, and when we got back to the arena, the doors were locked. The team folded while we were on the way home. Classic minor league hockey.
After a dispersal draft, I ended up in Monroe, Louisiana and played for the Monroe Moccasins. I loved my time there.
The next season, I played in the Dutch League for the Amsterdam Boretti Tigers. That was an incredible experience and an opportunity to see the world. And we actually won the Dutch National League Championship that year.
At this point, Matt had a choice. Continue playing in the "ultra minors" or in his words, "grow up and get on with real life." So he moved home to Canada to help run the family business – his father's educational software company. But after two years, he decided to take a different path. "That just wasn't my passion."
One night while hanging out with Brad Richards, who was playing for the Lightning at that time, Matt shared with Richards his ambitions to get into the business side of the NHL. Two months later, Matt sold his house and moved to Tampa, Florida.
What surprised you in the beginning about the business side, coming from the hockey side?
As a player, you just assumed that someone turned on the light in the ticket office, everyone showed up, and the game was on. I had no idea the machine that was behind a professional sports team. I had no idea what selling tickets meant, but I jumped into the inside sales room, started making calls, and learned the business side.
I originally intended to come down here, start on the business side, and move over to the hockey side. But once I got into the revenue side of it, those competitive juices I had as a player started kicking in, and I started to love it.
Now that you're a husband and a father, how has that changed your approach to those competitive juices?
Being a hockey player growing up, I was wired one way. I was a big believer in being the first guy at the rink and the last guy to go home. And I took that approach to the business world. I always wanted to be the first guy in the office, the last guy to leave in the evening. But now having this little guy completely changes every priority I've ever had in my life. Now he's the priority. I don't think [having kids] changes anything about your work ethic. It just changes the way you go about doing it.
What's your son's name?
Cool story there. His name is Guinn. A teammate of mine who I played junior hockey with, played at St. Mary's with, and actually played in Texas with, his name was Rob Guinn. After Texas, he married a lady by the name of Brooke, and they had a little girl named Olivia. Six months after she was born, he was killed in a car accident. So in honor of him and the impact he made on me, we named our son after him. Old Guinner. Quite the cat this guy was. He was awesome.
Has little Guinn shown any interest in hockey yet?
He wears his gloves to bed. Last night, he put on his helmet, full cage, to watch the NHL Network for 15 minutes before going to bed. He skates now on Wednesdays at Noon. So I'll cut out of work for that hour to go over and skate around the ice with him.
But one of the things my wife and I are adamant about is [hockey] needs to be something that he wants to do and has fun doing. If that isn't happening, we'll find something else. At the end of the day, all I want him to be is a good person who shows respect to his teammates and his friends, has a good work ethic and a good attitude, and is just a good person.
Do you critique his skating the same way that Steve Yzerman critiques your skating?
Oh you heard that story?
I was told you need to bend your knees a little bit more. How accurate is that?
Yeah, that's what I was told. When we were releasing the new jersey, we wanted to see what it looked like on TV, so I was out there skating laps, pretending to score goals and celebrate, to get an idea what that all would look like.
And apparently as the story goes, down in [former CEO] Tod [Leiweke]'s office, him and Steve [Griggs] and Yzerman were watching the video, and everyone was talking about how much they loved the jerseys and how great the uniform looked. But Yzerman wasn't saying anything, and then he finally says, 'That guy needs to bend his knees more.' He didn't mention the jerseys at all.
The Tampa Bay Lightning advanced all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals last season, a tremendous stretch for the team, the fans, essentially everyone who supports the Bolts, everyone except the architects and contractors charged with completing the $25 million renovation of Amalie Arena in time for the start of the current NHL season. On the day of the first game, crews were still painting, and the entire sales team was chipping in to clean the new club level.
"There were plenty of times when we wondered if this was going to be ready in time," Matt says. "But they made it. We were ready to roll game one."
Do you feel comfortable with your premium product mix now?
Three or four years ago, when we were trying to sell suites, one of the pushbacks we got was not so much the financial investment, but the commitment to 18 tickets to all events over the course of the year. So [the loge product] was something we knew would work because we had prospected so well in the past and knew there were companies that only wanted four seats or six seats. It really fits this market.
Well alright, let's go check it out.

And the award goes to...
Apple picks up another Emmy for Carpool Karaoke
One Emmy's cool. But you know what's better?.
Oliver Haslam
Carpool Karaoke won another Emmy.
It's the best short form variety series.
The show won the same award last year, too.
Apple may not have gotten Apple TV+ up and running just yet, but it's already becoming accustomed to winning awards. The popular Carpool Karaoke won a Creative Arts Emmy last year, and darn gosh it's gone and done it again.
The award, for being the best short form variety series, comes for a show that initially aired as part of another. It was a segment on James Cordan's The Late Show on CBS, as noted by Variety.
Carpool Karaoke had a good night, winning short form variety series for the Apple incarnation of the franchise that began on CBS' The Late Late Show with James Corden. Last year, Corden delivered a special extra-long edition with Paul McCartney that became an hourlong CBS primetime special, Carpool Karaoke: When Corden Met McCartney Live From Liverpool, which took home the win for variety special (recorded).
Corden was effusive backstage about the privilege of working in American television in a big way, as he has since landing on Late Late Show in 2015. "We just want to be a place people go to have a really nice time before or, let's be honest, while they fall asleep," Corden said of the show.
Carpool Karaoke might not be for everyone, but it's clearly well liked by those who choose Emmy winners!
Apple may have some more hits on its hands soon, too. Apple TV+ kicks off on November 1st in more than 100 countries and has some very impressive names involved already.
Apple TV+ everywhere

Possible Italian Trial of Credit Rating Agencies
Prosecutors in Italy are attempting to take seven workers from Standard & Poor's and Fitch rating agencies to trial for "alleged market manipulation and abuse of privileged information." The Italian magistrates have yet to rule on whether the case can move forward. If it does, this could have an effect on the way that rating agencies act, and what duties they, as private entities, owe to the governments they express credit-worthiness about.
Credit agencies have been coming under attack recently for actions they have taken before and after the financial meltdown. Last year, when the United States lost its AAA rating, the Obama administration was quick in its attempt to discredit the reliability of the methods Standard & Poor's used in determining its ratings. European policymakers have also complained that the European Union did not deserve the downgrades that it received, and former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has spoken out against a "political agenda" behind the rating agencies' motives.
It is reasonable to become upset with rating agencies and to speak out against them. But ultimately, people must take responsibility for their own reliance on the ratings that credit rating agencies give. The disclaimer of Standard & Poor's does a good job of summing up its position in the world of finance:
Any credit-related analyses, including ratings, or statements used in any of the Content are statements of opinion as of the date they are expressed and not statements of fact or recommendations to purchase, hold, or sell any securities or to make any investment decisions…. The Content should not be relied on and is not a substitute for the skill, judgment and experience of the user, its management, employees, advisors and/or clients when making investment and other business decisions.
If the Italian courts decide to hear this case, it would not be the first of its kind. Indeed, an Australian court recently ruled that Standard & Poor's misled investors by giving good ratings to bonds that ultimately failed in the fiscal meltdown.
But it must be recognized that to take legal action against credit rating agencies is entirely different than merely expressing an opinion about the soundness of their judgments. Allowing this Italian court proceeding to move forward would effectively pronounce that in the future credit rating agencies could owe a higher duty to investors and to the entities that they rate. This could change the relationship that credit rating agencies have to the governments they rate, and ultimately compromise the independent judgment that they are able to offer. It remains to be seen whether the Italian courts will allow this to happen.

Pasta and Vegetables with White Sauce | recipe from FatFree Vegan Kitchen – Welcome to another installment of My Family's Favorite Recipes!
If my daughter had her way, we'd eat pasta at every meal. Lasagna, mac and cheese, chili mac–she's not picky, she'll devour any of them. About once a week I give in to her demands, and the dish I most often make is this one, which she calls "That Pasta with All the Vegetables and White Sauce" because I've never come up with a catchy name for it. It's perfect because it fulfills her desire for noodles and my need for vegetables. In fact, it contains twice as many vegetables as pasta, a good thing in my opinion.
The recipe below uses a full pound of pasta and makes a lot; besides being hearty eaters, my family likes to have leftovers to fight over for the next day or two. If you're cooking for one or two, you may want to make half a recipe, so I've made that easy for you by including a printer page for the 4-servings version of the recipe. And don't miss the note on how to make this a Ridiculously Easy recipe, which, truth be told, is how I usually make it.

Where does the betting value lie in Thursday's prime-time matchup? Warren Sharp and Preston Johnson provide their picks to help you place your bets.
Note: All odds courtesy of the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, as of Thursday morning.
Sharp: The now-rebuilding Raiders avoided a winless season by edging the Browns 45-42 in Week 4 but sit at 1-6 with seemingly little to play for. Despite facing the No. 24 pass defense last week (Colts), the Raiders still rank as having played the NFL's toughest pass defenses this season.


For Sofia Sizzi, the Florence-born New York designer behind the new womenswear label Giulietta, the tales woven through her vintage-Italian inspired collections are as important as the clothes themselves. Sizzi, 34, believes that women envision themselves as a character in an elaborate story when trying on a new ensemble. And through her at once modern and romantic silk frocks, sophisticated separates and subtle prints, the designer hopes to create no shortage of fantasies. An industry veteran, Sizzi began her career at the age of 19 when she landed a job as an accessories designer at Gucci. She later moved to New York to work at Calvin Klein and Donna Karan. Sizzi explains, "I felt there was a void in the market and I felt confident about the Giulietta vision, which is nostalgic and influenced by the past. I felt like it was time for me to do it." Designed in Sizzi's Soho studio, Giulietta, now in its third season, fuses old-world femininity with modern sensibilities and an eco edge (the designer is a vegetarian; thus, everything from her tulle gowns to faux-patent accessories is vegan-friendly). "I believe you can make beautiful shoes and accessories without using animal products," says the environmentally conscious Sizzi. Nominated for the prestigious Dorchester prize in 2011, the line is named for Sizzi's mother, who came from a small town in Southern Italy. "I think this line is so related to [my mother's] roots. I really liked the influence that this tiny town had on her way of dressing when she was a teenager. When I look back at pictures from that time, a lot of the girls were revealing without revealing too much. I thought they were so exquisite, so liberated," says the designer.
This liberation comes through in Giulietta's SS12 collection. Inspired by a 1968 Vogue shoot in which Veruschka wore geometric looks in an ethereal seaside setting, the collection is centered around the story of a modern woman who is transplanted into a Mediterranean village. Sizzi's spring heroine begins her adventure in white and taupe midriff tops, cut-out tunics, and frocks infused with '60s futurism.
As Sizzi's protagonist explores this Italian paradise, her structured aesthetic evolves into looks crafted from delicate lace, perhaps picked up at a quaint village market, and fluid dresses in colors of the landscape, like cobalt, rust, and red. Sizzi's antique Italian vision continues in her Trevano print which, named for 17th-century Italian architect Giovanni Battista Trevano, is inspired by Baroque cathedral ceilings. The motif trims the hems of maxi skirts, makes peasant pants pop, and adds a new dimension to easy tops and tunics. However, despite her leap to ready-to-wear, Sozzi has not abandoned her background in accessories—faux-patent platform sandals, as well as a jewelry collaboration with Thomas Bliven, the result of which was a range of ancient Grecian-inspired chains and medallions that drape down the torso, highlight her knack for refined adornment. "It was always my dream to do ready-to-wear. I'm very happy that I've done accessories, but I was always looking to express my vision in a more complete way." Describing the Giulietta woman as "a nostalgic girl who's very confident," Sizzi notes that her customer isn't someone who follows trends; rather, it's a woman who wants quality pieces she can wear for a lifetime. Already hard at work on next season's collection, Sizzi reveals that her new muse is Charlotte Rampling—an apt choice for the upcoming chapter in Giulietta's timeless narrative. "My God, they haven't invented another woman like her!" laughs Sozzi. And while it's unlikely that Giulietta's story will evolve into "Night Porter," the subtle seduction of Sizzi's strong yet girlish aesthetic will surely endure. After all, as Sizzi told us, it's best not to reveal too much.

I am thrilled to have added my two bits about Charles Gemora to the LOST SOULS page of the Irish Journal of Gothic and Horror Studies website. One of the editors, who is also a board member over at the Classic Horror Film Board, caught me by surprise when she approached me about making a contribution to their Lost Souls section a couple of months ago. I somewhat nervously accepted - it's one thing to ramble about gorilla suits and films on my blog and the CHFB, but to have my scribblings alongside the essays and treatises of their very astute and learned contributors? Gave me a chill when I took a close look at what populated the pages of the Journal. Family and work held me back from getting down to brass tacks but I was given some extra time and for that opportunity I am greatly appreciative.
The challenge to meet another's expectations only serves to sharpen your focus and I think the piece is one of my better tracts on gorilla suits. I hope you will saunter over and have a read. The other materials posted are also quite stimulating!
I am indebted to Bob Burns and Tom Weaver for making a very personal record of Charlie's genius and also, to his daughter Diana, whose tales of her father's antics and adventures only sharpen my craving to know more of the man. Charles Gemora was more than just a guy in a suit and as humble as he was, he deserves our admiration and respect.

0 0 techlans Wednesday, March 12, 2014
Popular Business Magazine released Top 20 CEOs under age of 40 according to their company value in the market.In that list two Indians are featured at 19th and 20th positions.
Two Indian CEOs have been named among America's most powerful CEOs under the age of 40 listed in the recent Forbes magazine list with highest market values. Top position in that list grabbed by Google CEO and co-founder Larry Page.
Hari K Ravichandran(38) is the founder and CEO of Website hosting company Endurance International Group. He has been ranked 19th, while asset management firm Altisource Asset Management (AAMC) CEO Ashish Pandey (38) is ranked 20th.

Get rid of the guilt; create a joyful giving experience
By Tricia Brown
People in the United States love to give. According to The Camber Collective, Money for Good, 2015 report, about 95% feel strongly enough about giving back that they donate to some form of charity. In addition, more than half of donors prefer giving to local or regional nonprofits. Most people really do believe that their giving makes a difference. That's good news for the church.
However, the report states that the overall percentage of money that U.S. donors give has stayed relatively the same since the 1970s, no greater than ~2% of the GDP. So, while giving opportunities continue to grow, giving in direct relation to the greater need has not. Despite this stagnant trend, United Methodists have recently been applauded for their increased generosity. In 2014, a record number of conferences were at 100 percent giving.
No matter how much your church contributes, it's a good idea to examine what motivates the general population to give and to understand why United Methodists give so you may provide a joyful experience that inspires congregants to offer their very best and first fruits to the Lord.
Understand the obstacles.
People give for a variety of reasons. Some people feel that giving is a responsibility or a way to "pay it forward" out of gratitude for their blessings. Others believe it is a way to connect to their community. For many, charitable giving is an act that has grown from family, community or religious values. Obviously, empathy and compassion for others plays a part in the decision. But why do people choose not to give, or why do they not give more? The report offers a few basic reasons.
People don't like to be hassled.
They are overwhelmed by choices and feel too busy to act.
They feel financially unable to donate.
They feel unqualified to decide wisely about where their money should go.
They underestimate the importance of their giving.
They are skeptical of how nonprofits spend the money.
In addition, research has found that while most people think they give more than average, most are actually below-average givers. Donors also prefer well-known nonprofits, and even the most loyal givers are unlikely to change their giving habits because they are often the most satisfied with their choices.
These roadblocks aren't necessarily new. In fact, you probably have already spent significant time trying to move people to take action in one capacity or another. What can you do now, not only to help your congregation give but actually give more?
Create a giving experience.
To increase giving consistently, you must do more than elicit an emotional appeal. "Guilting" people may encourage short-term gifts, but it does little to help create longer-term results. Instead of being an obligatory act done every so often, giving should be framed as a lifetime of worship before the Lord.
Make it clear.
Donors want to understand where their money is being spent and how it helps. For this reason, clear communication is imperative. Be transparent.
Educate donors on the national averages for giving. Don't pound them over the head with statistics. Just make the data available so potential donors can make their own personal comparisons.
Explain to your congregation where the money will be spent and the benefits of giving locally. Make this more meaningful than an annual report. Tell about the problem or the need and then explain how their donations helped make a difference.
Emphasize who actually benefits from the donations and how the money empowers, not enables.
Create a beautiful narrative budget to explain why your church is worthy of generous support.
Discipleship Ministries has a great webinar called Stewardship: Show Me the Mission! that will help you learn to tell stories that resonate and motivate generosity. Global Ministries provides an excellent example of educating their givers on how UMCOR continues to make a difference.
Make it joyful.
As hard as it is, don't make donors feel as if they should give. Instead, help them discover why they want to give. Communicate the joy of giving and help donors do the following:
Understand the motivation. Clearly preach and teach why UMC congregations give.
Feel connected. Give relevant examples of how the work affects the donors directly and how they can affect the work directly. When people personally invest in a ministry, they will give more.
Develop a tradition. Encourage donors to create a legacy of giving to pass down to their children and grandchildren. Discipleship Ministries offers a great example called "Coins for Lent," which includes a giving calendar that lists household items for each day, starting Ash Wednesday and ending Easter Sunday. For every household item on the list that the family owns, children contribute the same number of coins (quarters preferably) to a project of their choosing. Certain days do not list items, but instead suggest simple ideas for prayer. Children love hunting around their house and collecting coins. It's also a great reminder of how much "stuff" we collect and how little others have in the world.
Experience the spiritual benefits. Remind them of the spiritual reasons to give and the blessings that come as a result.
Get rid of the guilt, and help your church see giving as the joyful experience it was meant to be. TWEET THIS
Make it easy.
People today feel busier than ever. If philanthropy appears complicated or time-consuming, people simply won't do it, or they will resort to what they have always done. Thankfully, with modern technology, people can discover more ways to give in the church. If you want people to give more, make the act as straightforward and uncomplicated as possible.
Provide several easy options for giving such as text-giving and online-giving. E-givers may feel left out when passing the plate, so Discipleship Ministries offers "I'm a UMC E-Giver" cards for congregants to print out and put in the plate when it comes by.
Offer a way for congregants to opt-in for incremental giving. Once a user opts in, giving will occur at regularly scheduled intervals until the user opts out. This type of giving ensures more consistent donations.
Highlight the importance of small gifts so that the entire congregation feels they can contribute. Take a cue from feed-the-hungry programs where charities promote messages like, "For less than one cup of coffee a day, you can feed a child in Africa." You can point givers to UMCOR's Alternative Giving catalog as a good example. Every little bit helps and can make a big difference.
The best news is that donors are willing to increase their giving; the resources are out there. Churches simply need to understand the mind of the givers, address the concerns of their congregation and reframe the giving experience. Get rid of the guilt, and help your church see giving as the joyful experience it always was meant to be.

On this day in 1980, the actor Steve McQueen, one of Hollywood's leading men of the 1960s and 1970s and the star of such action thrillers as Bullitt and The Towering Inferno, dies at the age of 50 in Mexico, where he was undergoing an experimental treatment for cancer. In 1979, McQueen had been diagnosed with mesothelioma, a type of cancer often related to asbestos exposure. It was later believed that the ruggedly handsome actor, who had an affinity for fast cars and motorcycles, might have been exposed to asbestos by wearing racing suits.
Terrence Steven McQueen was born on March 24, 1930, in Beech Grove, Indiana. After a troubled youth that included time in reform school, McQueen served in the U.S. Marine Corps in the late 1940s. He then studied acting and began competing in motorcycle races. He made his big-screen debut with a tiny role in 1956's Somebody Up There Likes Me, starring Paul Newman. McQueen went on to appear in the camp classic The Blob (1958) and gained fame playing a bounty hunter in the TV series Wanted: Dead or Alive, which originally aired on CBS from 1958 to 1961.
During the 1960s, McQueen built a reputation for playing cool, loner heroes in a list of films that included the Western The Magnificent Seven (1960), which was directed by John Sturges and also featured Yul Brynner and Charles Bronson; The Great Escape (1963), in which McQueen played a U.S. solider in World War II who makes a daring motorcycle escape from a German prison camp; and The Sand Pebbles (1966), a war epic for which he received a Best Actor Oscar nomination. McQueen played a detective in one of his most popular movies, 1968's Bullitt, which featured a spectacular car chase through the streets of San Francisco. That same year, the actor portrayed an elegant thief in The Thomas Crown Affair.
In the 1970s, McQueen was one of Hollywood's highest-paid actors and starred in hit films such as director Sam Peckinpah's The Getaway (1972) with Ali MacGraw, to whom McQueen was married from 1973 to 1978; Papillon (1973), with Dustin Hoffman; and The Towering Inferno (1974), with Paul Newman, William Holden and Faye Dunaway.
In the summer of 1980, McQueen traveled to Rosarito Beach, Mexico, where he underwent an unorthodox cancer treatment that involved, among other things, coffee enemas and a therapy derived from apricot pits. On November 6, 1980, he had surgery to remove cancerous masses from his body; he died the following day. His final films were Tom Horn and The Hunter, both of which were released in 1980.

War on Plastic with Hugh and Anita: How are companies tackling plastics in the bathroom?
Tonight's (17 June) episode of the BBC's War On Plastic will focus on single-use plastics in the bathroom, covering the stark environmental impacts of the packaging used for (and in) our toiletries and cosmetics. Here, edie explores what actions companies within those industries have taken to help solve the plastics puzzle.

Land restoration and carbon sinks 'can help farmers save £100bn by 2050'
One-third of the single-use plastic items found in the street sampled for the BBC show were for bathroom products
After placing the so-called "Big Seven" supermarkets under increased scrutiny over their approach to packaging in last week's episode of War on Plastic, presenters Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Anita Rani will tonight be turning to plastics in the bathroom.
In their survey of 22 homes on an "average British street" in Redcar last week, the duo found that, of the 15,774 pieces of single-use plastic packaging amassed between the residents, around one-third (5,241) were bathroom items.
The finding comes at a time when think tanks have estimated that the global cosmetics and toiletries sector is producing 120 billion units of packaging a year – and that's not to mention products such as plastic-stemmed cotton buds, wet wipes, individual dental floss sticks or sanitary towels.
In the wake of Blue Planet 2, which is credited with having piqued consumer awareness of the plastic pollution problem and kick-started a wave of anti-plastic activism, policymakers have implemented several pieces of legislation on reducing plastics in the bathroom. Last month, the UK Government confirmed that plastic-stemmed cotton buds will be banned from April 2020 – less than two years after its microbead ban came into force. And the EU recently approved similar and more wide-reaching legislation, in a bid to tackle all kinds of plastics commonly found to be despoiling beaches.
But what are businesses doing against this backdrop of policy changes and consumer demand? Here, edie explores the multi-faceted approaches being taken by some of the biggest toiletries and cosmetics brands.
As was proven to be the case with food and drink in last week's War on Plastic episode, most firms within the toiletries and cosmetics space seem to be turning to recyclability in order to regain the trust of ever more plastics-focused consumers.
The past two years have seen the likes of Garnier, L'Oreal, Colgate Palmolive and Boots forging partnerships with multinational recycling firm TerraCycle. Under these schemes, consumers are encouraged to deposit plastic items which are considered 'hard-to-recycle' by their local authorities in drop-off points at retail hubs and community locations or to mail them back to TerraCycle individually. Collected items are cleaned, shredded and melted before being re-made into products such as fence posts and outdoor furniture.
More recently, TerraCycle partnered with The Body Shop to install recycling boxes in 672 of its stores globally, including 230 locations in the UK. Packaging deposited in these boxes is notably assessed to see whether it can be reused before being sent for recycling.
On a broader scale, many of the world's largest consumer goods firms with toiletry and cosmetics brands are now working towards a 2025 goal of ensuring that all plastic packaging is recyclable, compostable or reusable – either through WRAP's Plastics Pact or as a standalone initiative. They include Unilever (owner of Dove, Lynx, Sunsilk and TRESEmme), Procter & Gamble (owner of Crest, Herbal Essences, Olay, Old Spice and Always) and Henkel (owner of Schwarzkopf and Dial).
Reusing and reducing
Given that just 9% of all plastic made to date has been successfully recycled, however – and with the scale of the problems associated with the developed world shipping its mixed plastics waste abroad to low-income nations without the capability to process it now being highlighted on TV – many consumers are now calling on businesses to go beyond recyclability and eliminate single-use plastics altogether.
In the supermarket space, this can be seen in Tesco, Morrisons, Marks & Spencer (M&S) and Iceland all having recently launched or expanded 'greengrocer' schemes for packaging-free fresh produce. Waitrose & Partners has taken this one step further with the launch of its 'Unpacked' concept at one of its Oxford stores, where customers can choose from more than 100 lines of loose products, from pasta and pulses to wine and laundry detergent.
Plastic-free beauty routines are also becoming more popular. Lush this year opened its first plastic-free shop in the UK, following the success of similar stores in Germany and Italy. Located on Manchester's Market Street, the 'naked' Lush branch sells products such as solid shampoo bars housed in reusable metal tins, bath bombs packaged in paper bags and lipsticks wrapped in wax. Its opening comes at a time when startups selling plastic-free grooming items, ranging from bamboo toothbrushes and biodegradable silk dental floss, to menstrual cups and 'period-proof' underwear are beginning to multiply at a pace.
For large multinational firms, however, this packaging-free approach has proven slow to pick up, with issues surrounding transport, quality and health and safety often touted as reasons for refusing to ditch plastics entirely.
Refill models, on the other hand, are beginning to gain serious traction. In January, 24 consumer goods and food and drinks firms revealed that they would support TerraCycle's "Loop" platform, for example, whereby businesses will provide product refills while retaining ownership of their reusable packaging. Early supporters of the platform's initial launch in New York and Paris include Unilever, Procter & Gamble and Colgate Palmolive, with Tesco set to spearhead a UK launch this autumn.
Procter & Gamble is also offering refillable products through its Olay brand away from loop. In October, it will trial refillable pods for its Regenerist Whip moisturiser for a three-month period, before replicating the model more widely. Similarly, Estee Lauder this month confirmed that it will bring refillable packaging to market by 2025.
In spite of this increase in plastics-related action from business, recent WWF research concluded that the amount of plastics produced, littered and incinerated globally is set to rise "dramatically" by 2030.
The NGO claims that the next 11 years will involve a further 104 million tonnes of plastic "leaking" into ecosystems and the overall CO2 emissions generated through the plastic life cycle increasing by 50%, as plastic incineration trebles and alternatives are introduced before any unintended consequences are examined in full.
For this trend to be reversed, WWF claims, policymakers, businesses and consumers must collaborate to "drastically change" their approaches to the issue.
The good news is that collaboration on plastics action seems to be becoming more common by the day, with numerous initiatives aimed at helping corporates collaborate on a pre-competitive level having launched since Blue Planet 2. WWF itself recently unveiled ReSource:Plastic – a scheme aimed at helping businesses to translate their plastic reduction pledges into measurable impacts. Other similar schemes include the Plastic Leak Project, the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's New Plastics Economy commitment.
The next episode of War on Plastic with Hugh and Anita airs on Monday 17 June at 9pm on BBC One.

Vladimir Smolyar
Born in 1968 in Bolton, England. He graduated from the Moscow Physico-Technical Institute (1992) and the Institute of Business Studies at the Academy of National Economy (2007). Longlisted for the Sergi Kurekhin Prize (2009) and the Kandinsky Prize 2011.
Vladimir Smolyar's "The Art of Fugue" was created especially for the exhibition "John Cage. Silent Presence" and demonstrates the relevance of the ideas of Cage and Marcel Duchamp and their evolution in the modern culture. This work is related to artifacts in the field of contemporary acoustics that constitute the tradition of paradoxical ways of producing sounds. It is composed of ready-made objects — a piano and a bicycle wheel (rotating with the cyclic repetition of hidden phase movements in Cage's "4'33") and threads linking the piano with the surrounding world. The bicycle wheel references traditions stemming from Marcel Duchamp, while the piano, which was always used in actions by futurists and members of the Fluxus movement, points to the particular context in which the art of John Cage exists. "The Art of Fugue" itself is "silent" in its own localized space but is able to emit sound in acoustic performances, as occurred during a performance by composer Sergei Zagniy.
As well as a new contextual image, Vladimir Smolyar's "The Art of Fugue" also possesses unique features that combine the purity of visual traditions and a radicalism of form. It is universal and can exist in any artistic space, combining sound, image and intellectual context into one whole.

MH370 disappeared without a trace on March 8 2014 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board. Jeff Wise, author of The Plane That Wasn't There, said a huge surprise for investigators was that the satcom was turned off after the plane initially disappeared, but then switched back on again. At 18:03 UTC, a satellite tried to make contact with MH370 but received no response, but at 18:35 it initiated a log-on itself, meaning it was coming back inline.
Mr Wise said: "Another detail of the Inmarsat data seemed a curiosity at first but in time would be recognised as having great significance.
"After all, whoever took the plane never used the satcom.
"They probably had no idea that its intermittent handshake exchanges could be used to track the plane, since the technique hadn't been invented yet.
"But lo and behold, looking at the fine print of the Inmarsat data log, we saw that in fact the system had been turned off and then back on again.
This indicated that the plane had not gone dark because of an electrical disaster.
It was worked out that after the satellite communications system was turned back on over the Malacca Strait, the plane likely flew on for no more than 15 minutes before making a final turn south.
From 19:41 UTC the plane's flight path matched a straight line, indicating that it was in autopilot.
This joins the many other mysteries surrounding the disappearance of MH370 five years ago.

Q: Make HTML element inherit events from custom object In the webpage I'm working I have a lot of small images to wich I want to assign the same set of events. Instead of adding them one by one, I thought it would be more elegant if I could make that type of element inherit these events.
What comes to my mind is something like :
function InheritEvents(){};

InheritEvents.prototype.onmouseover = function(){...action a..};

InheritEvents.prototype.onmouseout  = function(){...action b..};

var temp = originalHTMLElement.constructor; //(in this case img)

originalHTMLElement.prototype = new InheritEvents();

originalHTMLElement.constructor = temp;

a) Am I not disturbing the originalHTMLElement  ?
b) Is it possible to name the custom object property, for example
   ".onmouseover" like in the classic way:
    originalHTMLElement.onmouseover = function()...   ?
c) More conceptual: Is it possible to mix your custom objects with HTML
   elemenst / DOM nodes  ?

A: I would strongly recommend against this. It probably wouldn't work anyway, but messing with the prototypes of host objects is, in general, a bad idea.
I don't think there should really be a problem with iterating through the target elements and attaching events to them, but if you don't like that, you can use event delegation:

window.onload = function() {
  document.getElementById("images").onclick = function(e) {
    if (e.target && e.target.classList.contains("clickable")) {
      e.stopPropagation();
      console.log("I've been clicked!");
    }
  }
}
#images div {
  width: 40px;
  height: 40px;
  float: left;
  margin: 5px;
  background-color: blue;
}
#images div.clickable {
  background-color: red;
}
#images + * {
  clear: both;
}

    Click one of the red images above

Of course, if you're using jQuery, the .on() method can handle both the "add an event handler to all members of a set" option and the event delegation option in a single line.

Doug Turbush, who last month left Buckhead Life's Bluepointe restaurant where he was Executive Chef, will soon open a new Farm-to-Table restaurant at Merchants Walk in East Cobb. Originally to be called Heirloom Kitchen & Bar, Turbush opted for a name change to avoid confusion with Heirloom Market BBQ, a new restaurant not far from Cumberland Mall.
Now called Seed Kitchen & Bar, the restaurant will open adjacent to the coming Whole Foods, with both expected to open later this summer. Turbush is a Wisconsin native, but had been with Buckhead Life since 1999. Having started at Nava under Kevin Rathbun, his most recent stint was the aforementioned EC role at Bluepointe. Ian Winslade, with whom he worked at Bluepointe, is now a partner in Buckhead Bottle Bar, and Kevin Rathbun is doing his thing in Inman Park with Rathbun's, Kevin Rathbun Steak and Krog Bar. Joey Riley, another Buckhead Life alum, left Buckhead Diner last year to open Kaleidoscope in Brookhaven.
While Chef Turbush does have both a Twitter account and a blog, neither have been active since 2009. Perhaps he will get more involved in social media and become the burbs' TheAngryChef (Ron Eyester of Rosebud and the forthcoming Family Dog).
Seed Kitchen & Bar is said to feature locally sourced ingredients served in a casual atmosphere. Turbush spent time in Southeast Asia before Atlanta, and Seeds' menu will reflect his broad culinary experiences. Design wise, Turbush has enlisted the expertise of local firm Ai3, the same firm responsible for FLIP Burger Boutique, Holeman & Finch Public House, Miller Union and a host of other operations.
Thanks for the info Eli...I was wondering where he would land.
so very happy to have turbush open a restaurant in east cobb! we are desperate for something besides chains and mexican food and frozen yogurt places. thank you, thank you, thank you!!
I hate East Cobb because they elect moron nutjobs like Rep. Bobby Franklin.
Smart move. This area is flush with cash and underserved by non-chain dining. Most of the people here won't drive into city for plenty of legit and non-legit reasons, so this will keep them home and introduce them to what will probably be good, interesting food that does not come out of some corporate branding machine.


It's not true that today's public schools, dominated by leftists, don't try to inculcate virtues into their students. The virtues they teach are not bourgeois virtues, however, like kindness, respect, obedience or cheerfulness. Rather the only virtue taught in public schools today seems to be the leftist virtue of equality. That's the reason for all the "diversity" and "social justice" training — that's the leftist version of civics.
I'm not familiar enough with the public schools to know whether Mr. Levene's assessment is accurate. The comments are open for those who wish to agree or disagree while observing the virtue of "respectful."

We have at least three projects (adblockpluscore[master], libadblockplus, adblockpluscore[emscripten], additionally something in libadblockplus-android and perhaps even something else) testing essentially the same API or the same functioanlity, however they are only partially duplicating the tests and often are very different.
The idea of this issue is to abstract and synchronize test data among projects. E.g. we could create a JSON file with the textual representation of environment (prefs, subscriptions, custom filters, etc), arguments and results/expectations for testing matching, elemhide, parsing and serializing functionality in adblockpluscore and use that data in the derived projects.
There's also testpages.adblockplus.org which could maybe make use of this test data.

got it for my father thanks!


First and foremost, one of my favorite gifts from the fair is that delicious nectar of the most industrious busybodies – honey. There are so many colorful kinds to choose from (and luckily, taste) that you can pick one or two to add a bit of sweetness to any fancy pants gift basket. I picked up basswood and buckwheat versions this year. One might even make it into your holiday gift; if you're good.
One of the coolest new additions to the selection this year is a new line of balms, lotions and putties by Worker B (above). Yep, putty. These great products lean heavily toward the organic in their ingredients and offer a scrumptious assortment of moisturizers for hands, elbows, and chapped lips. Let me tell you, these things smell good enough to eat! This brand spankin' new line is making its debut at the fair so make sure you check it out (yep, right next to the honey in the Ag/Hort Building).
3. It slices! It dices!
I know this isn't fancy and it smacks of state-fair merchandise hawking, but the V-Slicer guys in the Ag/Hort Building have a good thing going. If you cook often enough, you know it's worth investing in some sort of mandoline slicer at some point in your culinary journey. Instead of stepping up directly to a $100+ version from Williams-Sonoma, this German Borner version is a good place to start. It's plastic, but trust me, that whole julienne thing will go more simply.
One of my all-time fair favorites is the pottery by Suzi Christensen of Nameless Wildness Clayworks. Suzi is the master of the delectably textured bowls, dishes and other assorted clay goodies. Truth be told, I own a few of her bowls already and this year I'm loving her state-fair assortment of garden markers and the cute corn platter seen above. And yes, that's a mold taken from an actual corn cob! Don't see exactly what you want? She also does a ton of custom work so you can get whatever your heart desires. Bonus: her glazes are food and dishwasher safe. Find these quirky works in Heritage Square at J. Saliture Pottery.
Okay, so this one isn't exactly food-related, but it twangs my local business and handicrafts heartstrings. Raised locally in Prior Lake, Pure Country Alpacas turn out some of the most luxurious yarns I've found. And may I say that their alpacas are quite cute too? Visit the furry creatures (yes, there are two on display at the fair) and pick up some skeins near the Coliseum and Cattle.
And lastly, it's a shameless plug for something you can't even buy at the Minnesota State Fair, but I have to give a nod to our Simple, Good, and Tasty Local Food Lover Card too. Lee and the team were busy handing out leaflets and info about how to make better choices about food during Minnesota Cooks day at the fair this year, and the Local Food Lover Card is just so easy to snap up and pass on to someone you love.
Sure there are hundreds of other ways to spend your bucks on food and merchandise at the fair. But hopefully a few ideas will kick off some of your own creative thoughts about spreading the love year round. Happy fair shopping!
Tracy Morgan is a frequent contributor to Simple, Good and Tasty. She also runs Segnavia Creative, a business development and marketing firm, and serves on the board of directors for the Mississippi Market Natural Food Co-op in St. Paul.

Home News Police Control Room To Shut With Loss ofone hundred 999 or 101...
Police Control Room To Shut With Loss ofone hundred 999 or 101 jobs
At a meeting last Thursday (9 July), the Police and Crime Commissioners and Chief Constables for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire agreed to progress proposals for collaboration of their Force Control Rooms.
This is the first contact response function that deals with 101 and 999 calls, evaluates and assesses what should be an appropriate response, deploys officers and staff, and ensures the recording and appropriate early investigation of crime or anti-social behaviour.
Under the proposals, which are subject to staff consultation, the three forces are expected to save £4 million through the collaboration of their public contact functions which include the force control rooms, crime recording teams and support functions.
This will be achieved by introducing new technologies to facilitate digital contact, allowing public access to be improved. Equally, the proposals are about increasing resilience in this function across the three forces.
Collaboration would see the three forces sharing two Control Rooms based in Hinchingbrooke in Cambridgeshire and Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire by March 2017.
The proposals will also see a consistent approach to public contact adopted across the two locations which will offer increased resilience and responsiveness. It will happen on a phased basis and is subject to detailed design to inform staff consultation which will take place over the coming months.
Temporary Chief Constable Jon Boutcher said: "Budget cuts and the current funding provided to the force have meant that we need to explore new ways of working to make the best use of the resources we have. Working together with our neighbouring forces to deliver collaboration in appropriate areas, along with introducing new technology, the force can better meet the necessary savings without compromising our frontline capabilities. We continue to explore further options to increase efficiencies and improve the effectiveness of our service delivery.
"In Bedfordshire we started working with our new 'Fast' and 'Fixed' operating model on 22 June and have already seen improvements to the effectiveness of our Control Room function as a result of using a new assessment process called THRIVE. This involves control room staff assessing the Threat, Harm and Risk to the public, of considering Investigative opportunities, identifying potentially vulnerable people and considering Engagement with communities to decide the urgency of our response. It is still early days but we are seeing a reduction in response times and an increase in successful telephone based resolutions.
"With a number of operational functions already shared across the three forces, it makes sense for there to be a consistent approach in the way we manage calls for service and deploy resources."
Police and Crime Commissioner Olly Martins said: "Our financial circumstances mean that we have to take some really tough decisions about how to make savings, protect our frontline and invest in service transformation through new technology, all at the same time. I am convinced our three police forces working together is the answer to this conundrum when it comes to the best future for our control rooms, and looking at what we have achieved combining functions such as forensics, major crimes, roads policing, and armed response gives me considerable confidence in this conclusion."
The three forces have recognised the need to provide the public with alternative ways to contact them and are also exploring ways in which enhanced technology could provide access to key services online.
The ambitious Strategic Alliance between the three forces and Police and Crime Commissioners is an on-going programme of work focusing on collaboration as an effective way of protecting frontline policing which is helping the three forces to meet a predicted funding shortfall of £56.6m between now and 2019/20.
The figure for Bedfordshire is £17.5m. By 2019, it is anticipated that a wide range of further joint operational and organisational support functions will have been established to bring economies of scale and increased resilience.

Lake Tahoe Action


To find out more about the park download our Dinton Pastures Country Park Map (PDF document) or look out for the map at the park's entrance.
Dinton Activity Centre has a series of navigation and orienteering activities which are either self-led or instructor led.
For a self-led exploration of the country park, download a map, print it off and away you go. Our full orienteering course is a 30 control point course and was built in association with the British Orienteering Federation. The course is spread across the country park, taking you around the lakes, across meadows and grassland and on a grand tour of our beautiful 400 acre site. There is also a possibility of exploring a shorter route, the last ten control points, 21-30, which is a recent addition to the course and keeps participants on meadow land and away from the main lakes and walking trails of the country park.
Another short route is the All Access Trail. This trail starts out from the main car park, continuing around our fantastic play park, along the lake and looping back to the car park, all on easy trails. This course is best suited to younger participants and is wheelchair and pushchair friendly.
Read more about instructor led navigation and orienteering on our Parties for Children and School and Youth pages.
All downloads are in PDF format, so will work directly from a smartphone or tablet.
If you do not have printing facilities you can purchase a copy for a small fee at the Rangers Office or Cafe, RG10 0TH.
