The Hate Church
You may have heard of Westboro Baptist Church and their aggressive protesting, most recently outside Kiwi singer Lordes' concert in Kansas City. The Westboro clan are an extremist and conservative Baptist Church – although this may be an unfair and inaccurate use of both the terms "Baptist" and "church"!
Their church was founded by Pastor Fred Phelps in 1955 and is comprised of his large extended family and others who have joined them. They see themselves as God's prophetic people, speaking judgment on American society for its sinfulness, especially sexual promiscuity and homosexuality.
Phelps believed any misfortune, especially the deaths of American soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, was God's punishment for society's tolerance of homosexuality, and so his church would protest at the funerals of military personnel with bright banners like, "Thank God for Dead Soldiers", "You're going to Hell" and "God Hates Fags".
Westboro was known as "The Hate Church" and Fred Phelps died last week aged 84. So how do we respond to the death of this distorted Christian witness who turned the love of God for sinners into hate?? How does this recent news which made it onto the major media networks relate to the Gospel's Good News?
Ed Stetzer, once a victim of Westboro's protest, suggests that we consider three ways to respond.
"First, we should grieve for the deceived.
Sadly, the Phelps family members are deceived and the god they follow is not anything like the God who so loved the world that He sent Jesus. They followed a false god who hated sinners, not the God who "proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us!" (Romans 5:8). As Anne Lamott once said, "You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do."
But let's be careful to avoid our own self-deception. The Westboro clan is full of people that need Jesus just as we do.
Let's not be judgmental ourselves. Pray that they find peace in Jesus and love as he has loved.
Second, we should take each moment to boldly and generously share God's love.
Let's do the opposite of what Fred Phelps did and tell someone today that God loves them; and let's show God's love to the people that we don't normally like. Do it because the world will talk about a man who hated in the name of "God". Instead, let's demonstrate the love of Jesus to hurting, troubled, difficult and lost people.
Third, don't hate the Phelps family.
Why hate those who are trapped in their hate? Pray for them. Show grace to them. Martin Luther King said, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." There will be lots of hate spewed out toward the Phelps family but I will not join in.
Now, I believe, Fred Phelps has discovered that God is love. Sadly, he did not know that in his life, making his death even more tragic. May we love others as we know God loves us."
Murray Robertson's Visit
Welcome to St Albans where we seek to support one another in our living for Jesus and engaging in his mission in our world. I am away at the Levin Uniting Church this morning as an independent chair for their Congregational Meeting about the closing and sale of the Waitarere Presbyterian Church which is within their parish. My thanks to Mike Clark and Rob Yule for their contributions this morning.
I've had very positive feedback from our people about the visit of Murray Robertson last weekend. Those elders, staff & Ministry leaders who attended the Review Day (which was more of a seminar from Murray) found it very helpful. And the Sunday congregations appreciated his message and challenge – Do we want to see St Albans as an agent of God's Kingdom which will continue to grow? or Do we want to grow old together? Someone suggested they wanted both!
As Murray told us, growth is a by-product of any church being an intentional agent of God's Kingdom in our community. Growth in mission and numbers involves two aspects: the Attitude of the congregation (leaders and members) and the Church Structures. As a church grows, it needs to change its structures and ways of operation.
Most NZ churches have less than 70 Sunday attenders; in fact most churches world-wide. A small church can know everyone, make decisions together and the minister can do most of the ministry and pastoral care. It will never grow bigger if it remains like this. A larger church needs more staff, volunteers who are prepared to devote more time, and a leadership that empowers and equips others to do ministry and mission, and leaders who lead in an intentional way. The senior minister/pastor needs to be a leader of leaders and not the provider of most of the pastoral care, welcoming and administration. The church also needs to be more vision-led and continually asking How does this fit with our vision?
St Albans has been stalled for 13 years with around 200 adult Sunday attenders and with a falling number of children and young people. We need to imagine what our life would be like if we had 400 regular adult attenders and to start structuring for the size now. Murray gave us 11 keys to consider and the elders and staff will be considering these over the coming weeks.
These keys are about a movement in attitude and structure from: Relationships to mission, Informality to intentionality, Pastoring to leading by minister, Simplicity to complexity, One minister/pastor to a team, Ministry and care by the pastor to ministry by small groups, Decision-making by the congregation to Decision-making by leaders, a Single service/one church mentality to multiple services, Volunteers to staff, Sunday is most important to being a seven-day church, Church buildings being small & personal to being large & impersonal places to gather, a Single-site church to multi-site church or church planting.
At the Church Council meeting this Tuesday night, our elders will be considering Murray's seminar material and some reflections from those who attended. Other written contributions are also welcome.
No Holiness without Praise
Welcome to St Albans, one part of Christ's body in our city, where we seek to support one another in our living for Jesus and engaging in his mission in our world.
A warm welcome to our speaker today, Murray Robertson from Christchurch, who led our Church Review Day yesterday. Murray was Senior Pastor of Spreydon Baptist Church in Christchurch for 40 years and after his retirement he and others established the Leadership Network NZ which aims "to encourage pastors, elders and other church leaders in the development of effective missional churches throughout New Zealand."
Last Sunday in my sermon series on "Holiness – Holy Living", I spoke about holiness being our response of gratitude to God. Both the Bible passages from 1 Peter 1 and Romans 12 made this clear. I summarised it in a quotation from scholar James Packer, "There is no holiness without praise."
To be grateful to God however, we need to carry a clear vision or picture of what God has done for us and all humanity and of what God promises for us in His eternal future.
I asked, "Do you live with God's future in mind?"
I concluded my sermon with an inspiring story from Max Lucado called "View from the High Country". Copies of my sermon, including Lucado's story, are available on the Reception counter today.
Below is James Packer's more theological vision of why we should be grateful and full of praise from his book 'Rediscovering Holiness'.
"God's plan of salvation covers not only
the three-hour agony of Jesus on the cross, enduring Godforsakeness so that sinners like us would never have to endure it;
but also the permanently transforming bodily resurrection
of Jesus
and the permanently transforming heart regeneration of everyone who is saved –
[neither of which could be achieved by powers of this world.]
Finally, the plan reaches into the future, promising everyone a new, undying body.
In addition, it promises saved sinners like me, a new heaven and a new earth,
a vast perfected society,
and the visible presence of Jesus, to enjoy through that new body forever!
The Triune God of the plan is great –
transcendent and immutable in his omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence.
He is eternal in his truthfulness and faithfulness,
wisdom and justice, severity and goodness –
and he must be praised and adored as such.
Praise of this kind is the foundation of human holiness,
which always starts here.
Just as there could be for Jesus no crown without the cross,
so there can be for us no holiness without the praise."
CHALLENGES TO C.R.E.
Welcome to worship at St Albans, where we encourage people to worship God in all areas of their lives.
Objections were raised this week to Christian Religious Education (CRE) at Milson School by one of their parents. The mother wrote to the school Board of Trustees with the threat of taking the matter to the Human Rights Commission. She was concerned that having a 30 minute class of religious education each Friday was against her conscience, reduced her son's education time and put her son in an awkward position if she withdrew him from the class.
This was after a survey of parents last year indicated that 64% of those who responded were happy to have the 30 minute class within school time, which was one of the options offered to parents. I don't think it was wise of the school to offer the CRE class in school hours but now the Board has immediately rescheduled the CRE lesson for Friday mornings before school, from 8.20am to 8.50am. That way children can opt in.
It seems sad that the Board gave in to this pressure as CRE has been allowed in primary schools by the Education Act 1877 which established "free, compulsory and secular" education for all children between 5 and 15 years. The word "secular" here meant "non-sectarian" or "non-denominational". No single church's doctrine was allowed to dominate but a general Christian perspective.
This Education Act allows primary schools to be legally closed for 30 minutes each week to receive Christian teaching. During this time, often from 8.50am or 11.50am or 2.30pm, the pupils whose parents withdraw them can come to school late, go home early or be supervised by teachers for that time. The CRE curriculum has developed to fit with the Ministry of Education's curriculum and become more age appropriate and fun.
The rationale for CRE today is that our NZ society was founded and shaped by Christian faith in its Treaty of Waitangi, constitutional democracy, laws and values. It is our Christian foundation that ensures freedom of speech, the press and religion by people of all faiths and none. It is our Christian foundation that even allows the Milson School parent to object to CRE! And the Christian faith is still the largest religious belief of New Zealanders (43%), ahead of those who claim no religion (39%) in the 2013 Census. The next biggest religion is Hinduism at 2%.
Most importantly, the Tomorrow's Schools Reform of 1989 requires School Boards to consult their communities and reflect their wishes in a range of matters. This is what Milson School was doing.
I understand that the parent involved is part of The Secular Education Network, an organization with the goal of 'Removing Religious Indoctrination from our State Primary Schools'. CRE is educational not evangelistic. They also argue that in our multi-religious society we should not limit religion in schools to Christian faith. Parents of other religions are entitled to ask their School Board for such programmes. They too would need the majority support of the school community. Please pray for a fair discussion and the continuing CRE witness.
Mortgage Matters
Welcome to St Albans, one part of Christ's body in our city, where we seek to support one another in our living for Jesus and engaging in his mission in our world.
Our church building mortgage stands at only $21,300 at February 28!
Ten years ago we took out a mortgage of $460,000 to build our new church complex which cost us $1.67 million. We formally opened the building on July 25, 2004. At the current rate of monthly repayments ($3280) the building will be paid off by the end of July. This is possible thanks to your response to the 'Clear the Mortgage' Appeal launched one year ago. We are very thankful to all who have contributed and enabled us to pay off our building within ten years, while continuing to support our church's mission here in Palmy and our nine overseas mission partners.
It would be very tidy to repay the mortgage before the end of our financial year of June 30th, and so begin the 2014-15 Financial Year without any mortgage.
We are conscious that some of our members have asked for an update on the Clear the Mortgage Appeal as they want to make a contribution before the end of this Tax Year on March 31st.
I remind you that all donations made to St Albans, or any other NZ Charities, will qualify for a 33% rebate. So if you give $300 you can apply to the IRD for $100 back. If you give $900 you can claim $300 back. And there is effectively no limit on the amount of donations that can be given. So St Albans can get the benefit of the $300 or $900 but it will only cost the donor $200 or $600 respectively.
We look forward to celebrating the 10th anniversary of our building and being debt-free in July!
We plan to commission our new Youth Pastor Murray Brown at next Sunday's 10am service. We will also pray for all our children's and youth ministry leaders and helpers from Sonbeams to Element Youth at that service.
Our elders will hold a Church Review Day on Saturday March 15, from 9am to 3pm. We have an Elders Retreat each year but this year we decided to invite Pastor Murray Robertson to lead our day and to preach on the Sunday morning. Murray was the senior pastor at Spreydon Baptist Church in Christchurch for 40 years and co-foundered the Leadership Network NZ which has the vision to encourage pastors and other church leaders in the development of effective missional churches throughout New Zealand. I have sent him much background material about St Albans so that he will be better prepared for his visit.
Last Thursday I spent the day in Auckland at the National Council of Presbyterian AFFIRM, "a network of evangelical Presbyterians with a passion for biblical faith, the transforming gospel and vibrant churches."" I co-chair this network with Rev Dr Stuart Lange from Auckland. The letters of 'AFFIRM' stand for a network of Action, Faith, Fellowship, Intercession, Renewal & Mission within the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa NZ.
Youth Matters
A Warm Welcome to St Albans, especially to any visitors. Our Vision is to see people passionate for Jesus - growing in community and mission through experiencing Gods Love and Word, being led by the Holy Spirit in all of life.
We are especially thankful to God to have appointed a new youth pastor for this new year. Our Search Team included youth leaders Jasmin, Ben and Jamilah plus Mike Clark, Ian Barnes, Jennifer Shaw and me. We had five applicants including one from overseas and we interviewed three of them in January. We worked carefully through the process in a prayerful way and were unanimous in our recommendation to the elders. They too were unanimous in appointing Murray.
Murray first came to St Albans in 1997, after completing ten years as the youth pastor at Central Baptist here in Palmy, to be the youth pastor at St Albans for one year, which extended into two years! He has been a member here ever since. Also from 1995-98, Murray worked as the National Co-ordinator of Training for Baptist Youth Ministries and in 1999 founded his own national youth training ministry called YouthTRAIN (www.youthtrain.com). Since then many youth workers and volunteer leaders from many denominations have been trained through YouthTRAIN, by distance learning, local workshops and through block courses Murray has taught at Carey Baptist College.
Murray is very experienced and well qualified with a Bachelor of Science, Youth Pastor Diploma, Certificate in Adult Teaching (Massey University) and a Graduate Diploma in Applied Theology (Carey Baptist College). Murray married Maria in New York last May and they have five children between them. Maria looks forward to being involved with our young people too.
Murrays position will be for 25 hours per week and Jasmin will be 10 hours per week as our Youth Intern. Her Internship is a three-year degree through Laidlaw College and Presbyterian Youth Ministries. Murray will be Jasmins internal supervisor and the Wellington Regional Youth Worker, Nga Larsen, will be her external supervisor. Currently we do not have anyone being the 24-7 youth worker at Queen Elizabeth College as Jeff was for the past two years.
We believe that Murray is Gods person to be the youth pastor for our youth ministry at this time and we are delighted to have him. We will commission him at a Sunday service soon!
Please pray for Murray and Maria and our young people that they will build good relationships, that our groups will continue to grow in discipleship and mission, and that our youth leaders will be well equipped in their roles.
Thank you for your generosity to our recent appeals for the awesome total given to our Christmas Appeal of $6,530, for the $1,200 farewell gift to the Odhiambos and for maintaining your offerings through the Christmas-January holiday season. Our Christmas Appeal will be shared between our sister church in Israel since 1996, Beit Immanuel (a Jewish Christian community) and the Hope Project which will put a gospel booklet into every Kiwi home in this Bicentenary year.
Waitangi Wanderings
Last week I trod where the Rev Samuel Marsden trod, on the shores of Oihi Bay in 1814! No doubt the shore line has changed somewhat in 200 years! The three of us who drove the 45 minutes from Paihia and walked down the one kilometre hill from the car park, stood in a huddle and prayed in front of the Marsden Cross. We thanked God for Marsden and Ngapuhi Chief Ruatara who invited him, for the Gospel of Jesus coming to Aotearoa, for the missionaries (both European and Maori) who took the Gospel throughout this land, and for all those who have benefitted from that mission and come to know the Lord Jesus in Aotearoa. We also prayed that many more, both Maori and other Kiwis, will come to faith in Jesus during this year.
I reflected on the three of us praying that day - one I knew a little and one I only met the day before. One was an 86 year old Presbyterian minister who had gone from NZ and spent most of his adult life in Asia because of his passion for the Gospel. He spent 20 years training ministers in India and another 35 establishing theological colleges throughout Asia. He's retiring from that when he turns 88! Last year he was named the 2012 Distinguished Alumni of Princeton Theological Seminary for his work in developing theological education in Asia. Princeton is the largest Presbyterian Theological College in the USA with a worldwide reputation.
The other man was a humble Kiwi Pentecostal Christian in his seventies, who is an evangelist with a passion for building relationships with Muslim people and sharing the Gospel of Jesus.
And then there was me! Three Kiwis saved by the Gospel of Jesus and sharing the Gospel of Jesus in multi-cultural NZ and in multi-religious Asia, because of Marsden, and 200 years after Marsden! What a joy! The people of Aotearoa still need the Gospel today as they did 200 years ago.
But as well as the Gospel, the early missionaries brought a sense of compassion and justice for the indigenous people. They sought protection and fairness for Maori in the face of often greedy and unscrupulous European settlers and fishermen who wanted to acquire land and were often unruly. 25 years later, the missionaries and many Maori saw the Treaty of Waitangi as a sacred covenant made before God, drawn up by evangelical Christians in the Colonial Office in London. It birthed a new beginning of respectful and peaceful co-existence between British settlers and Maori. 40 Maori Chiefs signed the Treaty on February 6, 1840, and another 500 signed in the following six months as the European and Maori missionaries took the Treaty around Aotearoa.
It was moving to visit the site on Waitangi Day, to join the political leaders as they each prayed in our national wharenui at 5am that morning with 300 others. And to join the ecumenical church service at 10.30am with over 400 others and the leaders of many NZ denominations. Let's not stop praying that God will continue to bring Gospel life to Aotearoa.
"Abba – I belong to You"
At the New Wine Summer Festival in Waikanae, I attended a workshop strangely titled "The Monk's Walk - Charismatic Contemplation" led by Scottish Presbyterian Minister Howard Espie and his wife Charlotte.
This practice is called a "Monk's Walk" because in the 7th century, an English monk called Cuthbert began these walks to honour "the book of creation", which speaks of all God has made. A monk's walk is conducted in silence, though at certain planned spots everyone gathers to share what God has been doing. This is a time to learn the rhythms of prayer, to be "mindful", to experience grace-filled contemplation. Howard stressed that we are human beings but we behave as if we are human doings!
Check out Isaiah 37:14-20 and 2 Corinthians chapters1-4 – they point to Jesus taking our eternal restlessness. We get our rest by going to Jesus. Charlotte, Howard's wife told us that as a busy GP, to remind herself to inject Sabbath rest into her work day she used coloured dots on her computer! She also explained that the area of the brain called amygdala, gets switched on when we feel stressed (eg. if we are surprised by a snake) but these days people have lost the art of switching it off! So we did an amazing exercise to learn to switch off.
As we closed our eyes and breathed in, we said to ourselves, "Abba". Then as we breathed out we said, "I belong to You". This meant slowing and deepening my breathing to fit in all the second phrase. I was soon very close to sleeping. My friend said she felt totally bathed in the Father's love. We were reminded to "be strong in the grace of the Lord" – to draw God's grace into our bodies.
Howard suggested meditating on psalm 27:1-2 "The Lord is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid." We can realize afresh we belong to Him, He light's the Way and He is the stronghold of our lives, etc.
Then we set out on a silent walk through the Glen and along the forest path by the river. Immediately I stepped out the door I looked up to the skyline (if I had been talking to someone I'm sure I would have missed it) and those famous verses came to mind, "I will lift up my eyes to the hills – from whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth." (Psalm 121:1-2). The birds seemed more special as they danced overhead in the sky. Creation was definitely showing off!
WAITANGI DAY REFLECTIONS
Below are four quotations (in italics) from Justice Eddie Durie in 1989, then Chief Judge of the Maori Land Court (1980-1998) and Chairperson of the Waitangi Tribunal (1980 - 2000), and a member of the Law Commission. He is a Manawatu person from Rangitane, Ngati Kauwhata and Ngati Raukawa descent, the first Maori appointed as a Judge of the High Court, and a highly respected and moderate Maori leader.
1. "During my travels in other countries, I have seen the blacks in the USA seeking equal rights, Indians seeking the rights of indigenous persons, other groups seeking to establish their own rights as a group. I believe New Zealand is unique in seeking a racial solution based on partnership. I have not heard that espoused elsewhere."
The Treaty was an enlightened document for its time and remains unique among colonisers and indigenous peoples. The British never came to Aotearoa to conquer the Maori by force but to establish a partnership. There is good evidence that the early Christian missionaries of Northland, mainly Anglicans, first sought a treaty to protect and ensure justice for Maori because of their abuse by British whalers/sealers and settlers.
2. "The missionaries sold the Treaty to the Maori and it is important that they should sell it to the pakeha as their obligation."
The Treaty was translated into Maori by missionary Henry Williams and missionaries strongly encouraged the northern chiefs to sign. In the months following Waitangi Day 1840, it was primarily missionaries who travelled around Aotearoa encouraging other chiefs to sign. As Christians today, I believe we have an obligation to see that Maori are protected and treated justly in the spirit of the Treaty which I'm sure our forebears saw as "loving their neighbours."
3. "If we Maori are tangata whenua, the original people of the land, then the 'pakeha' settlers are tangata tiriti, who belong to the land by right of the Treaty. To honour our forebears, we as Maori must never challenge, never threaten, compromise or prejudice the rights of the 'pakeha' to be here. We cannot claim our rights if we cannot respect the rights of others."
4. "We cannot substitute the tyranny of the colonizers with the tyranny of Maori. There has to be a balance. Some Maori feel that we don't live up to their expectations, but if their expectations are unreasonable, then we should not want to live up to them. The Tribunal seeks a balance and a compromise, perhaps unacceptable to more radical groups."
The Treaty is seen by many Maori as a founding covenant agreement with spiritual dimensions, both in 1840 and today. It has been abused and dishonoured but can still be recognized and affirmed. Past grievances need to be addressed and the Waitangi Tribunal has done this well, though needing more resources to process the backlog of claims. This enables wounds to heal and mana (honour) to be restored, offering hope and opportunity to iwi, Maori tribes, throughout NZ.
There will be continuing debate about the application of The Treaty to contemporary issues but these debates can be healthy signs of exploring our partnership when conducted with goodwill and respect.
Welcome to St Albans as summer holidays end and the new school year begins. We warmly welcome newcomers to join our church community, one part of Christ's body in our city, as we support one another in our living for Jesus in 2014.
Much has happened throughout January: the Buzz Holiday Programme had around 60 children per day when it has been the smallest programme of the year with about 25-35 children per day. Well done Russell, Michelle and team. New Wine Summer Festivals had 1000 residents at Waikanae and Warkworth for the first time, including some of our people. Babies were born to Phil & Anna Allen (Caris Joy Esme) in England on Dec 28th and to Sarah (nee Holleman) & Tolle Papageorgiou (Seth Anthony) in Wellington on Jan 13th. And Tarnia Hodges was granted a PhD through Massey on Jan 15th on the subject of Wetland Ecology.
On the sad side: Serge Mambila's mother died in Congo and David McCorkindale's father died in Levin. Joy Livingstone underwent surgery in Palmy as did 13 year old Grace Dean in Wellington Hospital. Jenny Roberts and Bill Kingston have been recovering well from their pre-Christmas surgery and Andrea Holman remains positive through her treatment.
Thank you very much to those who have contributed to our Christmas Appeal for the Hope Project and our sister church in Israel Beit (house of) Immanuel. They total is currently about $4,750. We would love to pass last year's total of $6,000. If you still intend to contribute a Christmas gift, please use an appeal envelope from the Welcome Desk or any marked envelope and leave it in the Sunday offering, our church letterbox or in the office. The Appeal will end on February 16th.
Thanks too to those who contributed to a farewell gift to the Odhiambos. We gave them over $1200 plus the pounamu necklaces. Jeff is currently in Kenya with his mother and brother and Alicia and the children moved to St John's Theological College in Auckland last Thursday. Jeff will return from Kenya directly to Auckland.
We have recently heard that the Hope Project will proceed on a smaller scale. $1 million was required by December 31. However only $800,000 was raised so the project will proceed prior to Christmas 2014, using television adverts to draw attention to the Bicentenary of the Gospel but only one booklet will be delivered to every home in NZ. A website will also be established to which seekers can be referred to further explore faith matters and questions. It is hoped that the other two booklets may be delivered to every home before Easter 2015 and 2016.
The Search Team for a new youth pastor has been busy selecting and interviewing applicants and praying and talking together about the right person to lead our youth ministry at this time. No appointment has been made yet but we hope to have some news in the coming weeks.
Please keep these matters and people in your prayers, and those heading back to school!


Our design prompt was to design something that would make doing things easier at NuVu. We found that the laser cutter line here is long and disorganized. People do not know how long until they can cut, and by the end of the day people are cutting without having waited for their turn. Because of this we wanted to find a way to fix some of these problems. Our solution is a digital laser line that will stay organized and make it easier to see when it is time to cut.
The new laser queue started out with a vision: we would be able to read the estimate from the laser cutter of how long the cut would take, read the current cut's time, and also have the queue. After puzzling for hours over the laser cutter format, we got a piece of code that will read the estimate from the laser cutter software; the current cut time required a piece that we've ordered, and will implement soon. The queue itself was simple: we had a centralized server holding the data, and any computer can connect and add themselves to the queue, through a web page.
Our new laser queue uses a TV mounted on the wall outside of the shop to display information. This method of displaying information is great because anyone can see what is going on. There is also a keyboard and touchpad for students to input their names so that they can be put on the list. Because of this, people can put themselves on the list from outside the shop. Now nobody will need to go into the shop to write their name, only to get distracted. While many parts of the new laser line are great, there are still some problems. Since we put the display right outside of the shop, the hallway may get crowded with people easily. This could end up blocking people from moving between the two main parts of NuVu. Another problem is that we don't have a finished product yet. Because of this the keyboard, computer, and wires are messy and not in the wall yet. We hope that if there is more time for us to work on this project that we will be able to mount all of the remaining electronics in the wall instead of he=aving them hanging out.
Our final product is accessible from anywhere at NuVu. One can see the line as well sign up from the TV near the shop, or from any internet capable device. Once one is on the list, they will even be able to cancel or move their job down one spot. Using any web browser, you can go to nuvulaser.local to access the line while you are in the space. Once on is looking at the list, they can add a name, cut length, material, and priority. Once they do that the cut will be on the list.
Over the past two weeks, Pablo and I have worked on an extendable table. The table may look fairly normal at first sight, but there are handles to be pulled out and extended. The main problem I've encountered when eating lunch is a place to put my food. I usually sit on the couch, along with 10+ other kids. It is very challenged to put all that food on two small tables. I often just eat on my lap. But, with an extendable table, the students and I will no longer encounter this problem. Our solutions with to created a yin yang design in between two top and bottom layers. The yin yang design has handles attached to them, where you can pull them out for extra space. There are three extensions in all, adding much more room for students lunches.
Our first iteration was made out of cardboard and was created to expand the table as much as possible. What did work was that it was actually an expandable table, which was what we wanted to create. Yet, there were many problems with this certain iteration. For example, the extensions would stick out way too far and would flop, even if it was made out of wood. We wanted to fix the stability and smoothness, along with creating nicer handles.
Our second, third, and fourth iteration consisted of the same top and bottom layers, but different handles. We created these iterations out of wood and used a yin yang yong design. Yin yang yong is basically like yin yang but we three sides instead of two. Using wood and just three layers added to our problems of stability and smoothness. Our second iteration basically had no handles at all, so we knew that we needed to somehow recreate the handle. Our third iteration slightly took care of this problem, yet we knew it wasn't perfect. The handle was just a square sticking out and was challenging to pull out. The fourth iteration also did not work. We did create a 3D printed clip but there were still other problems.We came up with the idea to have 2 layers on the yin yang yong, for even more extra space. But, our coaches did not really like this idea so we omitted it and continued on with our other problems.
Our other problems were that there was no place to lock the extensions. We didn't want them to be moving all over the place, we wanted them to lock at a certain spot. Another problem was our 3D printed clip. The first clipped snapped almost immediately so we had to widen it.
Our final iteration works perfectly. We attached all the layers together with a lock screw and added on the 3D printed clips (which worked perfectly). We also created the iteration out of thick wood. We sanded each piece and attached them together. Overall, Pablo and I are very satisfied with the outcome of our table.
Conclusion: Our final product is an extendable table which can attach to either two of the tables next to the couch. During lunch, many kids eat there and have no place to put their food. With our yin yang yong design, these 3 extensions allow extra space for students to put their lunch. It attaches to the table by three 3D printed clips, and locks at a certain point so the extensions don't extend too far.

Another problem is that we don't have a finished product yet. Because of this the keyboard, computer, and wires are messy and not in the wall yet. We hope that if there is more time for us to work on this project that we will be able to mount all of the remaining electronics in the wall instead of having them hanging out.
Our design is a chair that can connect with other chairs, using magnetic flaps on the side to form a separate working or socializing space. Each chair will be very large so, even if there are many people around, you will still feel some privacy.
The design problem we were working with is that. at Nuvu, there is very little private space for having a conversation or working by yourself/with a group without distraction. At Nuvu, most of the time the space is very loud, making it hard to focus. This open environment is helpful when you are collaborating with others, but sometimes it is best to have a quiet space to get work done. This is where our chairs are essential: no matter the size of the working group, any number of these chairs can be put together, creating a somewhat secluded area for concentration without complete isolation.
Our project is important and useful because it will hopefully make NuVu an increasingly efficient environment. From work to even private conversations, our chairs serve the purpose.
Space-efficency, accessibility, and esthetics were at the forefront of our design process. We were tasked with solving the conspicuous storage issue. Nuvu students lack any personal storage space, and consequently this results in unorganized clusters around the studio.
When observing the wall that we planned on transforming into a place for personal storage, we knew that it would be necessary to vertically build our storage spaces beyond what one could reach if we wanted to have enough units. When we first began exploring we stumbled upon what became our first precedent, a rotating bike rack on an oval track, and that could be mounted to the wall. We soon found many problems with this system; the most concerning issues were that crowds would form as they would have to wait for their individual cubby to come down, also safety became a large issue as the weight of our object would require substantial amounts of support. Another problem we encountered was mounting a ton of weight againt the wall, we did not make sure the floor below us was capable of sustaining 2.5x the weight of the project because that is what is considered the "safety margin".
We were inspired by a ferries wheel and a spinning bike rack. What ispired us was the efficiency of the design and how well it utilized short but tall spaces. Another thing we considered, which is a more accurate design of our final product was the spice cabinets pull down system in a kitchen.
Subsequently we thought of having two rectangular cubby sets, which would sit about a fixed cubby wall, that could lower down in front of the fixed cubbies. We used a spice cabinet which did a similar thing as our precedent. We began by designing the fixed cubby spaces a variety of sizes, allowing kids to use only the space they need and improve efficiency. Next we created two cubby sets that would reside above the fixed cubbies. Those cubbies would all be a single size that would be able to fit most daily articles or projects. We soon realized that we needed to raise the height of our fixed set and consequently the height at which the other two cubby sets were at. The reason for this was because at our original height all cubbies were accessible, making the lowering mechanism needless.After this we began to discuss how we would offset the weight of the lowering cubby sets at the weight would be too great for one to lift. We discussed two systems. A winch system, which had the potential of having a metal wire snap, creating a safety hazard. We also considered a pneumatic piston, which was very loud, making it unpleasant to use.
Our project was to create a space at NuVu where people could have private conversations, or just hang out by themselves. We noticed that there is no privacy anywhere at Nuvu. Sometimes it can be very loud, which hampers productivity. A private work space for a small group could create a much more focused environment.
In the first few days, we looked at different ideas for our privacy pod. Our goal was to create something that did not take up much space, and would also feel private.
We initially made a box design for the corner of the room. It was a cube shape, with a removable, see-through roof and a sliding door. Inside the box would be bean bags and a low floor table for working on projects or socializing. Unfortunately, this idea did not work because it took up too much room and was not very innovative/creative. We then discussed having something that felt more private than it actually was.
Our next design was one that acted similarly to an accordion. It would fit on the wall, then be able to pull out, to create a dome with open sides. We tried making models of this, using a piece of wood to symbolize the wall, and a piece of folded cardboard as the dome. We made this iteration on a 10 percent scale model of what we worked on Rhino and cut all this out on the laser cutter. This design was ideal because it would not take up much space. Unfortunately, this idea wasn't very interesting, or good looking, and we weren't really excited about it, so we began to think about new ideas.
Our next iteration was an elevated octagon that had tall walls but not so tall as to cause total isolation. This would fit with another octagon, creating something similar to two rooms. Each would have a pull down desk to use either for a computer or writing; it would also be elevated a couple of feet above the ground. It was a good design, but, unfortunately, it took up too much space at NuVu.
In our final iteration, we took the idea of creating an area that was elevated off the ground to separate it from the normal area. From that, we decided to design a piece of furniture that you have to step up to, where sitting inside creates a feeling of privacy. We designed a chair that has a high platform, then was surrounded by high walls (above your head) to enclose you.
The beauty of this design is that one person could work separately, or you could put many of these facing each other in a circle/star shape that would be enclosed for many people to work together without distraction. The chair would have magnetic flaps on the side to connect it with however many chairs are needed.
Tool organization and management at NuVu is a significant problem. Forgotten tools clutter workspace which leads to wasted time spent looking for tools you actually need. We created a solution to this problem. We designed a storage system that fits in between the tables. The frame is clamped on one side of a table so that it can be used with a solo table or two tables joined together. One of the most challenging aspects of this project was engineering it to bear enough weight. The lips clamping it to the table are attached with a "T" joint. The lip and the wall it is attached to each have two layers of wood glued together. One layer has square cut outs and corresponding square tabs. The other layers has "T" like holes and corresponding T tabs. The T layers are glued on top of the square layers creating a strong bond.
Our current iteration has two modules (future ones will have more);One for tools and one for laptops and notebooks. The module for tools holds the tools that are most commonly removed from the shop: rulers, calibers, scissors, box cutters, screw drivers, wire cutters and strippers, and pliers. The laptop module can hold two laptops vertically. The reason we decided to store the laptops vertically as opposed to horizontally is to maximize the vertical space and to minimize the horizontal space. Future iterations will accommodate more modules (geared towards specific tool sets) and power cords.
- Create a diagram (from Rhino to Illustrator ideally) that calls out with text and images to show its relationship to the tables *and* the component parts to its tray.


During my daily web surfing, I stumbled upon this article on the JTA site, called How to Retire Happily. No, I'm not retiring at the ripe old age of 24, but out of curiosity, I clicked to check it out. Surprisingly, what I read really resonated with me. Whether you're 65 and moving to Scottsdale or 23 and moving to a new city, the advice remains the same.
1. Keep busy. Staring at your computer and searching for jobs online will not lead you to friends, business contacts, or really anything but unhappiness. Join a gym, go to networking events, find a hobby and meet others who share your interests…and don't be afraid to do it alone.
2. Rather than holding out for the perfect job while watching all seven seasons of Gilmore Girls with a never-ending tub of popcorn, do something. Discover your inner barista, volunteer, babysit – you'll supplement your dwindling bank account and fill your days with meaningful activities.
3. Use your Facebook network. If you have 37 "friends" in Chicago, none of whom you've spoken to in the past 2 years, try messaging a few and making coffee dates. Even if you don't connect with that person, they may introduce you to your future best friends.
4. Always remember – eventually you'll refer to Chicago as home. You'll have friends, a job, a social life – it just takes a little courage, patience and time.
I know I'm no expert – anyone else have any advice for new Chicagoans?

For over 25 years the NCAA has collected injury surveillance information, resulting in the largest collegiate injury research database in the world. The Datalys Center, a non-profit organization created by the NCAA, BioCrossroads and the ACSM, assumed operations of the NCAA Injury Surveillance Program in 2009. The Datalys Center continues to collect injury surveillance data from participating NCAA schools with the continued goal to support the sports injury information needs of organizations and individuals focused on improving the health and safety for students participating in collegiate athletics.
By partnering with the Datalys Center we feel we are able to help contribute to this research through the combination of the necessary injury surveillance elements within the workflow of athletic trainers. The ATS program allows an athletic trainer to send the necessary information to the Datalys Center for inclusion in the NCAA Injury Surveillance Program, while continuing to record and monitor the injuries of their student-athletes.
As the number of athletic trainers submitting data increases, the Datalys Center can more easily provide a comprehensive injury picture of NCAA athletics. The collection of injury surveillance data also assists athletic trainers as this type of information has been used previously in the NATA's Recommendations and Guidelines for Appropriate Medical Coverage of Intercollegiate Athletics (AMCIA) Document. The AMCIA helps athletic trainers justify and allocate limited resources to the best advantage for their staff and student athletes. Additionally, injury surveillance data has helped to mitigate injuries and assist in changing rules for NCAA athletics.

The suggested writing prompt for today was "10 facts about me" and I thought that sounded like a bit of fun for the weekend! I am a ridiculously open and honest person in my writing, so I thought I would delve deep and try to come up with 10 facts about me that you maybe didn't already know!
Let me know in the comments how many you already knew or if any of these surprised you!
From the ages of 3-8 I attended ballet classes and I absolutely loved it. I wish I could have carried on and I wish there was a way for me to do it again now.
I am predominantly right handed.
I'm a sucker for a person with ambition. I can't really explain it.
I enjoy a bit of archery, but unfortunately I don't make it along to the club I shoot with anywhere near as often as I would like *insert crying emoji*. I am a left handed archer!
Despite being a total cheese fiend, I don't really like Wensleydale.
I generally drink between 3-4 litres of water/juice a day, regardless of how warm it is in the outside world or what I've been up to.
I sat my driving theory test a grand total of 5 times, passing it 3 times.
I have an ongoing battle with nightmares and vivid dreams. I have often thought about writing a post about suffering from nightmares as an adult but wasn't sure if it would be of interest to anybody other than myself.
From the ages of 4-16 my main career goal was to become a speech and language therapist, but this all changed when I never got the grades I needed in my exams. Other early career dreams included a world changing scientist (I was terrible at all the sciences), a tightrope walker (not great with heights and I have the balancing abilities of a one legged elephant) and a woodwork artist (I am terrible at woodwork and anything practical, really).
My favourite colour is emerald green, it's just so wonderful.

Q: Function to bring an element to front in phaser 3? I want to bring  an  ArcadeSprite element in front of all other elements.
Is there any function in phaser 3 to do it?
Thanks in advance

A: ArcadeSprites have the Depth component that you can use to control which elements are displayed on top of others (think of it as a z-index).
You can do something like myArcadeSprite.depth = SOME_NUMBER_HERE.
I want to say there are also some bringToFront type of methods floating around somewhere in Phaser, but I can't seem to find them.

There is little and contradictory data about the impact of laparoscopy on wound healing. In this experimental study, gas-related effects of pneumoperitoneum on collagen I mRNA synthesis were analysed separately in fibroblast cultures in vitro.
3T3 mouse fibroblasts were incubated for 1 h with either CO2 or helium (gas flow: 1 l/min, pressure: 12 mmHg). Control fibroblasts were exposed to room air for 1 h. Hereafter, expression of collagen type IA1 was analysed by real-time PCR.
Expression of collagen type IA1 analysed was 0.7 times lower after incubation with CO2 when compared with controls. After helium insufflation, collagen type IA1 expression showed a 1.1-fold increase.
The observed gas-related influence on collagen synthesis might give evidence of a potential effect of laparoscopy on intra-abdominal wound healing.

Q: Lists:-Why does 1st for loop in the description ends up infinite loop while 2nd for loop works really well For loop 1
li=[]

for i in li:
    li.append(i**2)

print (li)

"""Error...: Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<ipython-input-29-c20734da477f>", line 2, in <module>
    li.append(i**2)

KeyboardInterrupt"""

For loop 2
li=[]

for i in range(0,n):
    li.append(i**2)

print (li)

Both should have worked but 1st for loop goes in Infinite loop.Why??

A: The first loop doesn't even execute because li is empty.
Despite that, in the case that if li wasn't empty, e.g li = [1], you are continuously adding elements to it so the for i in li will always have elements to iterate through. You are growing the list while going through it.
Using a range, you limit the number of iterations to that specific range. After you iterate through the range of items, the loop stops.
In short, these aren't similar loops.

Farmers.gov doesn't deliver every agricultural resource, tool or story for farmers, ranchers, and foresters – and it doesn't pretend to. Instead, we're talking to our customers and field employees, many farmers and ranchers themselves. We're building farmers.gov around those ideas, adding small content and features often for the greatest immediate value.
Managing for soil health allows producers to work with the land – not against – to reduce erosion, maximize water infiltration, improve nutrient cycling, save money on inputs, and ultimately improve the resiliency of their working land.
Whether you grow corn in Alabama, raise beef cattle in Wyoming, or something in between, we're here to help you build the health of your soils and strengthen your operation. Learn here about the principles of soil health and usable best practices. Then visit your local USDA service center where we can help you develop a management plan that supports your goals.
From hooves to plows, soil is disturbed in many ways. While some disturbance is unavoidable, minimizing disturbance events across your operation is an important step to building healthier soils.
As a general rule, soil should be covered whenever possible. You can plant cover crops in both grazing and cropland operations to accomplish this goal. On grazing lands, you can also practice rotational grazing to maximize perennial grasses and forbs.
Increasing diversity across your operation can break disease cycles, stimulate plant growth, and provide habitats for pollinators and organisms living in your soil. Healthy systems are diverse systems.
Living roots reduce soil erosion and provide food for organisms like earthworms and microbes that cycle the nutrients your plants need.
We've learned that most operations do not need heavy tillage – or often any tillage at all – to produce healthy crops. Minimizing tillage can reduce soil erosion across your operation while saving time and money.
Can fuel and labor reductions really make up for the money invested in switching to no-till farming? A Natural Resources Conservation Service fuel savings report can help you answer this question for your operation.
Though not typically harvested for a profit, cover crops still provide valuable services to your operation. The roots of cover crops make channels in the soil that improves its ability to take in water. Cover crops also build soil organic matter, hold soil in place that might otherwise erode, and feed soil organisms that provide valuable nutrients to cash crops during the traditional growing season.
Grazing animals recycle nutrients across the landscape. By managing your livestock to graze where and when you want, you can return valuable nutrients and organic matter back to your land and ultimately your soil.
Diversity can be improved with cash crops as well as cover crops. Diverse crop rotations can reduce pests and diseases that are specific to certain plant species, build the health of soil microbes that provide nutrients to your plants and ultimately lead to improved yields.

Ayushman Bharat admissions need to go up in Uttar Pradesh
December 4, 2019 By Kerean Watts Leave a Comment
Ayushman Bharat admissions must go up in Uttar Pradesh, with Dr Indu Bhushan urging a threefold increase in the state.
The relatively low pace of implementation in the state could be linked to inadequate infrastructure, with the state empanelling just 2,312 hospitals under the scheme and being home to approximately 2,628 health and wellness centres. In addition, states considered to have poor pre-existing healthcare infrastructure – such as Uttar Pradesh – also tend to perform poorly in implementation of the scheme. States with poor performance on Ayushman Bharat have also recorded low awareness of the scheme among prospective beneficiaries.
In November, it was reported that Uttar Pradesh – together with Bihar – are the worst performers under Ayushman Bharat. The scheme – officially known as the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY) – is the Centre's flagship health insurance scheme which provides annual cashless health insurance cover of Rs 5 lakh to economically vulnerable families. Of the Rs 7,602 crore worth of claims made across India until November 20th, Uttar Pradesh accounted for just Rs 207 crore with just 230,000 Ayushman Bharat admissions in the state despite the large size of its beneficiary population.
"Every day, about 30,000 patients avail of benefits under the scheme [nationwide]," said Bhushan, chief executive officer of the National Health Authority, which oversees Ayushman Bharat. "At least ten percent of these — about 3,000 — should be from Uttar Pradesh."
Bhushan met with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, as well as chief medical officers and medical college chiefs from across the state, in the state capital Lucknow. After the meeting, Bhushan told The Economic Times "Uttar Pradesh is reporting about 1,000 treatments under the scheme daily which is less considering there are over a crore beneficiary families in Uttar Pradesh. We have asked if the level can be raised to 3,000 treatments daily.
"The public hospitals need to be more actively involved while we will work on early payments to private hospitals to make them more enthusiastic about the scheme. The Chief Minister has promised all cooperation to us and said he will pass instructions to officials for gearing up to the task."
"After a year of implementation we feel that the biggest challenge before us is the low awareness level about Ayushman Bharat," Bhushan commented earlier this year, around the time of the one-year anniversary of Ayushman Bharat's launch. "We need to take the scheme to the last mile. Our survey also suggests that beneficiaries do not know how they can avail of the scheme. This needs to be worked upon."

You don't need us to tell you what gifts to buy for whom. But we all need a little inspiration occasionally and you might get an idea from the following examples of when, why and what vintage film poster might fit the bill for a gift occasion.
Or you can always just choose someone's favourite film, actor, or genre, or perhaps even an appropriate tagline!
Anniversary Perhaps the first film you saw together at the cinema? Or maybe an appropriate title like "It Started in Naples" or "An Affair to Remember".
Birthday For a 'milestone' birthday, think about a poster from a film made the year they were born.
Christening An imaginative alternative to the usual gifts. The year's big Disney or Pixar release, perhaps?
Christmas A perfect gift. Or even some seasonal decoration, such as "White Christmas" or "It's a Wonderful Life".
Valentine's Day How about "Dream Wife" or "Roman Holiday"? Or for those with a sense of humour what about "Carry On Loving", "Casanova's Big Night", or even "How to Murder Your Wife"?
Wedding A thoughtful way to thank the best man or chief bridesmaid, or an original gift for the happy couple themselves.
And you can always buy something to suit their office or work environment rather than their home - from "Anatomy of a Murder" for a criminal lawyer or "A Pair of Briefs" for a barrister to "Confessions of a Taxi Driver" for a minicab office.
The opportunities are almost endless. Congratulations. Father's Day. Mother's Day. Retirement. Thank you. Or no special reason at all.
A CHOICE OF SHAPES AND SIZES
One Sheet and larger posters have a fantastic impact when framed, but there are times when something smaller is more appropriate.
Not everyone has the space for larger pieces, and sometimes not everyone in the household shares the same enthusiasm for movie posters (although we think they should!).
For these instances, a Lobby Card, or other smaller format, such as an Italian locandina or fotobusta, may be a better choice.
You could also decide to buy someone an original movie poster, but might prefer to let them choose the image themselves. We issue Gift Vouchers from £50 upwards.
There is lots of choice, and our Theme Search may help you, but if you can't find what you're looking for here - or if you need more inspiration - then please contact us.
