Социалисти́ческая у́лица — улица в центре города, одна из старейших и красивейших улиц Ростова-на-Дону. Ранее называлась Николаевской.

История
Социалистическая улица ранее называлась Никольской. На первом плане города, утверждённом в 1811 году, показано месторасположение существующих в то время или намеченных к возведению церквей. Источники свидетельствуют, что две из обозначенных на плане церквей были Николаевскими. В Соборном переулке, на месте, где стоял ростовский почтамт, была сооружена деревянная «старая» Николаевская церковь. Её появление относится к 1805 году. Поэтому Социалистическая улица имела название Николаевской. Проспект Семашко, идущий параллельно Соборному переулку, раньше назывался Николаевским.

В 1894 году на пересечении Николаевского переулка и Московской улицы по проекту архитектора Н. М. Соколова возводится часовня во имя Святителя Николая Чудотворца Мирликийского. Часовню возвели в память избавления от смерти наследника престола Николая Александровича при покушении на него японского фанатика. Часовня строилась в русском стиле. Она представляла собой двухъярусное сооружение, увенчанное высоким шатром с главкой, которое замыкало аллею сквера, протянувшегося вдоль Московской улицы. Тогда же исчезла вторая аналогичная часовня на Сенной площади, воздвигнутая на северном конце Николаевского переулка и названная Николаевской память восшествия на престол государя Николая II.

После 1822 года на углу Казанской улицы (ныне улица Серафимовича) и Николаевского переулка (ныне Халтуринский переулок) возвели «новую» Николаевскую церковь. После 1868 года «старую» Николаевскую церковь закрыли, а затем из-за ветхости разобрали. Вскоре на месте упразднённого храма выстроили здание Почтово-телеграфной конторы.

В царствование императора Николая I началась реконструкция «новой» Николаевской церкви. Каменная расширенная церковь с одноярусной звонницей над притвором имела интерьере высокохудожественные росписи масляными красками. Николаевская церковь славилась своим певчим хором не только в Ростове, но и за его пределами. Послушать его приезжали даже знаменитые певцы, как Л. Собинов и Ф. Шаляпин. Этот хор просуществовал до 1912 года. В 1936 году храм был разрушен, и на его фундаменте была построена

One of the first things you are asked when spinning up a new server in SpinupWP is which Server Size you would like to choose.
Thankfully, most server providers allow you to upgrade your server size at a later date. This means that you can safely choose a smaller server, to begin with, and scale up later as needed without being tied into the size of the server from the beginning.
We specify a minimum of 1GB for running a SpinupWP WordPress site properly.
For production sites we recommend you start with a 2GB+ server.
Lot's of smaller sites can be hosted on a single server if page caching is enabled (we've seen 45 sites on a 4GB server).
For bigger, more intensive, or dynamic sites (such as e-commerce sites) we recommend hosting these on their own, slightly larger, servers.
In our testing, we actually discovered that a correctly set up server with proper caching enabled can theoretically handle 40+ million requests per day on a 512MB, $5/month server. While we wouldn't recommend pushing your server to these kinds of limits, it goes to show that you might not need quite as big a server as you might imagine.
When Should I Upgrade My Server?
Before you can decide if you need to upgrade your server, you will need to know how your server resources are being used. Most server providers offer some kind of resource monitoring (CPU, memory, disk space etc.) as part of their service. If your server provider doesn't offer this, you can SSH to your server and use tools such as top or htop to find the same information.
As a general rule, we recommend you try and keep server memory usage at 60% or below to allow for traffic spikes. If your server CPU usage or memory usage is consistently high then it might be time to upgrade your server.

According to RBC Capital Markets Insights, European General Retail Apparel space reductions easing. We perceive early signs of space reductions in the sector easing off, as rentals reduce and stores remain an integral part of retailers' omnichannel offers. RBC thinks this could be helpful for valuation multiples in the sector. Retailers continue to improve the level of convenience for customers and their strong cashflow generation should allow for higher dividends in H2.
The way we shop has changed and retail spaces have evolved in terms of selling area, inventory levels and also location. Furthermore, fashion retail assortment is changing due to casual shopping trends. Retail selling layout, visual merchandising and assortment are enhanced by technological solutions such as virtual reality, demand forecasting, location intelligence and mapping, analytics, amongst others. Store efficiency is enhanced by renovation, relocation and flexibility, adding new shopping formats such as pop ups and dark stores.
Covid-19 is redefining many shopping districts across the globe. High street shopping relies on tourism and based on current trends, UNWTO expects international tourist arrivals to be down about 85% in the first quarter of 2021 over the same period of 2019. So, not surprising to walk around these areas and see stores empty. High streets are declining and different shopping areas or districts could emerge in a post-covid world.
Space reductions easing. For the omnichannel retailers lower rentals are making the economics of running stores more attractive, which remains supportive for online sales. For instance Inditex closed 9% of its stores last year, or more importantly 5% of its space. RBC expects a flat to small positive contribution from space in the year ended January 2023. Similarly, H&M has stated it will close up to 5% of its stores this year (less in space terms) and we expect this to ease off next year. Primark has continued with its space expansion during the pandemic, and we expect a further 4-5% contribution over the next year.
% Space growth for ABF (Primark), H&M and Inditex from 2018 to 2021+
Digital enhancements and effect on margins. Retailers are improving their apps and online offers to give more information about which garments are available in which stores, with a slight bias in favour of stores to allow better showcasing of product. RFID is almost a commodity amongst mass-market retailers that see the back end and front end benefits of implementing radio-frequency identification. Retailers are trying to balance offline ROI redefining their location strategy (fewer, but more efficient stores and operational omnichannel ecosytem: click & collect, ship from store, return in store, order in store, etc), but a digital shift will put upwards pressure on both gross margins and opex in the sector.
Associated British Food (ABF – Primark) is not following top leading fashion retailers space growth trend but their business model and strategy is different as well. Primark didn't develop e-commerce and omnichannel capabilities.
What are Inditex forecasts according to RBC? (source: European General Retail – Aug 02, 2021)
For Inditex we have nudged up our earnings forecasts by 1-3%, mainly owing to a slightly firmer expected gross margin trend. We think margins are being helped by good execution of Inditex's business model, generally good full price sales in the sector. In recent quarters we think gross margin may have also been helped by a shift to digital, given Inditex's higher basket size online, albeit this will also inflate operating costs.
We expect Inditex's sales to trend in line to slightly above 2019 levels, although we are mindful of some renewed store closures in Asia , with H&M last week stating that c.3% (150) of its stores are closed, compared to 130 two weeks ago. Impacted markets include Malaysia, Indonesia and India.
We do not think Inditex has significantly changed its sourcing profile in recent years, although at the margin we have seen some shift from China to Turkey for several retailers, which is known for quality, quick response product. Also important to consider the surge on shipping costs from Asia that could increase nearshoring. Transporting a 40-foot steel container of cargo by sea from Shanghai to Rotterdam now costs a record $10,522, a whopping 547% higher than the seasonal average over the last five years, according to Drewry Shipping.
Financial Times – George Steer and Valentina Romei in London (Jan, 2021)
Inditex continues to improve its online offer eg it is rolling out an "in store mode" on the Zara app which will show the sizes available of garments in store. H&M has this capability too. Zara often has a slight time delay in favour of stores driven by its distribution algorithm, which allows for better showcasing of the product.
Searching size/store availability of "DRESS WITH LINEN" in London at Zara.com
As we stated on the front page, we expect Inditex's space reductions to ease off next year. It expects to open as many as 450 flagships in 2020-22 so we think space contribution next year should be at least flat or potentially a small positive contribution to sales.
Inditex continues to be one of the leaders in the sector on ESG. It has set a 2023 target for 100% more sustainable cotton (previously 2025), across the product range, and is on track to achieve this. Unlike some other retailers (H&M Supply Chain transparency), Inditex does not yet publish a list of its suppliers to aid transparency but we expect it to do so in the next few years.

On college campuses, the outlook for new grads is better than it's been for the past couple of years — with starting salaries averaging about $50,000. Still, for many students — especially those without technical skills or a business background — landing a good job remains tough.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
While some big money is getting into higher education, more than a million students will be getting out this spring with bachelor's degrees. And the job outlook is better than it's been for some time.
But as NPR's Wendy Kaufman reports, how well many of these new grads do will depend largely on what they studied.
WENDY KAUFMAN: Students at cafes and study halls on the University of Washington campus often tell two very different stories about their quest for a job after graduation. Many liberal arts and social science majors are pounding the pavement. But students in computer science, engineering and other technical fields are in high demand.
Brittany Kohler(ph), for example, could practically write her own ticket. Her major is industrial and systems engineering.
Ms. BRITTANY KOHLER: (Industrial and Systems Engineering Major): The job market for graduating seniors in industrial engineering right now is, actually, very promising. The field itself is really growing, and moving outside of just manufacturing, which is what it used to be, into health-care systems, into businesses.
KAUFMAN: Kohler plans to do systems integration work for a global consulting firm. She'll be making nearly $70,000 a year. She turned down a job paying even more.
Ms. KOHLER: I think every - I mean, not to sound boastful but every single job I applied for, I got an interview for and got an offer. So it was exciting for me.
KAUFMAN: Another engineering student, Nick Douglas, had more than one offer, too. He's taken a job at Cisco Systems.
Mr. NICK DOUGLAS (Engineering Major): They're looking for electrical engineers, computer scientists who wanted to do something like, on the people side a little bit more, and that's exactly what I wanted to do.
KAUFMAN: You happy with the salary you're getting?
Mr. DOUGLAS: Very happy. Feel very comfortable that I will be able to support myself without my parents' help from here on out.
KAUFMAN: Nationwide, employers surveyed by the National Association of Colleges and Employers said they expected hiring of college grads to be up nearly 20 percent over last year. It's a huge increase though remember, 2010 was hardly a banner year.
One employer who's hiring lots of new grads is Verizon. At the giant wireless communications company, new graduates might work in a customer service office -like this one in suburban Seattle - or at a retail store.
Chad Keehner is a company recruiter.
Mr. CHAD KEEHNER (West Area Talent Acquisition, Verizon Wireless): And the qualities that we're really looking for is somebody who is ambitious; somebody who's really looking for a career. You know, we want somebody that's interested in growing themselves - and then tech savvy.
KAUFMAN: He says the company aggressively promotes from within, so entry-level jobs can pretty quickly turn into something more.
But back on the University of Washington campus, international relations student Charmila Ajmera remains discouraged. She sees her friends struggling to find work. So the survey data showing the job market is improving doesn't mean much to her.
Ms. CHARMILA AJMERA (International Relations Major): It used to be that you go to college, and you're sort of promised a job. You get that B.A. or B.S., and you're good to go. And anymore, it doesn't feel like that. It feels like you need to work a lot harder, get more experience - get more education, possibly. So yeah, the numbers really - they don't speak to me.
KAUFMAN: One new challenge facing social science grads is that while private employers have been adding jobs, positions in government and social services that they might have applied for are being cut.
Senior Kelsey Barrett says some of her recently graduated friends have ended up working as baristas or in retail sales.
Ms. KELSEY BARRETT (International Relations Major): Trying to make money so that they'd have time on the side maybe to volunteer and get experience, so that in the next year or two they might be more competitive for this difficult job market.
KAUFMAN: Indeed, Barrett, another international relations major, is putting off her search for full-time job. For the next few months, she intends to work part time, improve her foreign-language skills, perhaps take an internship and come January, work with a nonprofit in Africa. She wouldn't be getting a salary, but she would get room and board - plus resume-boosting experience.

As I drifted in and out of sleep in the early morning hours a steady tinkling entered my consciousness followed by a memory of moist leaves, bare feet and water rushing. I slowly entered the waking world and heard the undeniable sound of dripping outside my bedroom window – RAIN – ah, the blessed sound of water falling from the sky.
This is a true story of two friends: Prajna (Island Sister) lives in Kauai, Hawaii, and Hilary (Mountain Sister) lives in Flagstaff, Arizona. This story took place in April, 2018 and is a present-day synchronistic example of how women are being invited to relate to the waters and the weather during this time of climate change.
In her recent teleseminar for ONE, Rosita Arvigo spoke of her long spiritual connection with the Macal River in Belize. When asked about rituals with the River, she responded with love and eloquence. This is a partial transcript of our her teleseminar which focuses on river and water rituals.
The fate of our rivers around the globe today is hugely influenced by the field of civil and environmental engineering. Engineers, along with municipal officials, architects and landscape architects, are responsible for designing the human world we live in, from the buildings we live in to parks, bridges, highways and neighborhoods.
In her forthcoming book, All Our Beautiful Rivers, Shannon Merika explores the link between cattle grazing on river banks and the declining health of rivers in Australia. Shannon's love for the Rivers goes back to her childhood, playing in the Leichart River in Western Queensland. Recently, she had experiences which brought home to her both the spiritual-psychic implications of water pollution and the ways in which human interaction with the nature spirits can have a positive impact. Here she shares two ways in which she sensed the spirit forces alive in the rivers she knows.
Life offers a plethora of opportunities to help others and to "leave the world a better place." When I found myself run ragged embracing so many good causes, I had to stop, look at which challenges I was effective at, and which efforts give back life and love. (Some call this picking your battles.) From these I wrote my "mission statement." After that, before adopting a new challenge, I permit myself to ask if it fits my mission. The statement? Long ago I heard the maxim, "In the end, we will save only what we love, and we will love only what we have been taught to love."
Rosita Arvigo has revived the art of Spiritual Bathing for many, fortunate students and in her book Spiritual Bathing, she portrays the practice of spiritual bathing as it has developed over the centuries, in many cultures world-wide. She has given us permission to share this excerpt on the Sacred Ganges River.
While on a wild and heart-opening journey with Rocio Alarcon into the Amazon region of Ecuador, I heard a legend of the origins of the Napa river—one of the tributaries of the Amazon. This story was shared with me in Spanish on a visit to Coca, and the translation whispered to me, sentence by sentence. I offer this story of transformation and trust in Nature's gifts with apologies for anything lost or changed in translation.
Jen Frey, of Brigid's Way and the ONE visioning council, recounts a sacred journey down the Tiputini River in the Amazon region of Ecuador, guided by Rocio Alarcon. We are introduced to the concept of Sacred water Pugyos, and get a glimpse of the power and mystery of this region.
We offer gratitude to the Rivers of Life. The rivers which have carved the lands and fed all the creatures, which have washed and nourished and shaped the people. We are thankful for the life-giving waters, the moving waters, the shining waters. For waterfalls, eddies, currents, for ever-changing patterns, for leaping fish, otters, invertebrates.
To help in establishing rights for all rivers, the Earth Law Center along with experts worldwide have developed a draft of the Universal Declaration of River Rights. The Declaration draws from victories for the rights of rivers worldwide, as well as scientific understandings of healthy river systems.
The Organization of Nature Evolutionaries supports the actions taken by the Earth Law Center to establish the right to thrive for all rivers and encourages each of us to stand with our Rivers of Life.

SOAR Analysis much resembles a SWOT Analysis. A SOAR Analysis is a tool to improve the strategic planning process and is best done in a group setting.
I have a pet theme in the strategic thinking process: it's to focus on outcomes, rather than outputs. You may think this is just a pedantic matter of semantics (want to read someone else's opinion, try this short Harvard Business Review article. However, it's absolutely not. When you are thinking about the future that you would like to see, do you think of piles of boxes of your products on the loading dock—or do you think about smiling customers getting value from your products.
How is SOAR Analysis different to SWOT Analysis?
The idea behind SOAR Analysis is to move from something that is static and just states how things are now—>to one that defines where you want to be.
Strengths: What can we build on?
Opportunities: What are our best future tracks?
Aspirations: What is deeply important to us?
Results: What will indicate that we are succeeding?
I always stressed to participants in a SWOT, that they should concentrate on the Strengths and Opportunities, while later kicking the Weaknesses and Threats out of the way. Curiously weaknesses and threats are easier to confront. Identifying and understanding strengths and opportunities is much more challenging.
What We Have or What We Want?
However proponents of SOAR Analysis suggest that it is much more future oriented and will be more 'can do'. My own feeling is that it might encourage groups to ignore things that are getting in the way of progress. We tend to be better at identifying the negative, rather than the positive. This is not to say that we're pessimists—it's just the way the brain works. In the article SOARing from SWOT, the authors draw four lessons every strategic plan must know.
In this regard the Force Field Analysis has a good lesson. People have a tendency to be better at how to get rid of restraints than naming the positives. In addition, if barriers can be eliminated goals are likely to more easily achieved.

Kingston's first entry in the gaming keyboard market the HyperX Alloy FPS proves to be a great mid-level option with the excellent build quality and keeping the features simple.
Kingston's has stepped into the mechanical gaming keyboard market through their dedicated gaming brand with the HyperX Alloy FPS. We've reviewed plenty of Kingston product, and they always maintain a high sense of quality. So I was very intrigued to check out their first entry into gaming keyboards. How well did they do? Let's find out.
The First thing that stands out about the Alloy FPS is the look. I like the look of a fully exposed keyboard with no thick borders around and a solid steel frame. This minimal design is for travel and saves space at your desktop to give more room for mouse movement. The cord is also removable for easy portability. The top left of the keyboard comes with a built-in USB port that is good for charging devices like your smartphone but do not that it's not fast charging capability.
The key switch options depend on what version of the keyboard you get. The Alloy FPS which is what our review is based on has options of Cherry MX Blue, Brown and Red switches for which we are using MX Blues on our review keyboard. The Alloy FPS Pro has a tenkeyless design and only has the option of Cherry MX Red switches. The keys are also easily removable and pop out quickly with the included removal tool. This makes cleaning easy and one of the most accessible keyboards to do so. You can also replace your W-A-S-D 1-2-3-4 keys with red color keycaps with texture on the W-A-S-D for a better feel for keys when not looking.
The Alloy FPS doesn't come with a lot of unique features but has the basics that most will want. Each key lights up with single color RED LEDs that can be set to different lighting patterns and brightness by just press the function key (which is shown as FN on the bottom right of the board) and arrows keys. There six lighting modes available starting with solid red (always-on), breathing (slow dimming on and off to mimic breathing patterns), lightwave which makes keys light up from left to right in a wave motion almost like the crowd doing the wave at a football, basketball or baseball game. The last two modes are responsive like where one creates ripple effects when you tap on any key and the other lights up each as it' pressed. The FN key also operates the media controls which are combined with the F6 – F11 keys. While they are easy to access I would prefer dedicated media controls for quick no loock access. hight of the keyboard just a bit to include them. You can also activate game mode with FN+F12. The Alloy FPS also comes with n-key rollover and 100% anti-ghosting. That's pretty much it for special features. There is no software or drivers to install. This is a complete plug and play system. There is also no wrist rest so you will need to supply your own if you pick up this keyboard. This is welcome for some people who want simplicity. But if your looking to reprogram keys, create macros and customized lightings that's not something you're going to be able to do with the Alloy FPS.
While gaming I found the keyboard to be very responsive to all presses. The keys are more of a clicky feel and sound which can get loud but wasn't a bother to me. Playing FPS games, I found every key action executed as it should and as the pace picked up the anti-ghosting came in hand as all keys register individually without issue. Their lack of dedicated media controls meant there was an extra step of remembering to hit that function button to control volume and music.
The Alloy FPS is a straightforward choice for someone who wants a qualify keyboard without too many bells and whistles. The design is great to save space on a desk, and the quality of the keys and keyboard will last for years of typing and gaming down the road. For the price of around $99 at the time of this review on Amazon, I would recommend the HyperX Alloy FPS for those that want great qualify with simple features at a cost-effective price.
I have the cherry mx blue one and it is going great so far. Also, the build quality is top notch.

European Parliament Elections in Times of Crisis
INTERECONOMICS, Vol 49, No. 1· January/February 2014
Forum: European Parliament Elections in Times of Crisis
By Francis Jacobs, Yves Bertoncini, Valentin Kreilinger, Stijn van Kessel, Andrea L.P. Pirro, Simon Otjes, Sonia Piedrafita, Vilde Renman.
In May 2014, EU citizens will vote in the most important European Parliament elections to date. With the new powers allocated to it by the Lisbon Treaty, the new European Parliament will shape EU policies in many important areas and will elect the President of the Commission. However, public confidence in the EU has fallen to historically low levels – to a great extent due to the financial crisis and its aftermath – and the participation rate in European Parliament elections has dropped steadily since the first call for a direct vote in 1979. This raises fundamental questions about its political and democratic legitimacy. This Forum examines the economic agendas of the main political parties vying for power and the potential outcome of the May elections, including the role that radical and anti-euro parties are likely to play in the campaign and in the next Parliament.

The File menu allows the addition to the current document of pre-defined composites. The first time a built-in composite is added a root-level 'Composites' container is created. Any subsequent addition go in the same container.
From v7.2.0, if a built-in composite is added to a document in which the default value of $NeverComposite is true, the components of the built-in composite have $NeverComposite set to false, ensuring the newly added composite functions correctly. If Tinderbox needs to create the 'Composites' container, it sets the OnAdd action to $NeverComposite=false to ensure any user-created composites function correctly when added there.
From v7.5.0, the OnAdd actions for the built-in containers for Prototypes and Templates set $NeverComposite=true. This reduces the likelihood of unwanted accidental composites.


Endless opportunities for sub-zero adventure.
With its always-ample seasonal snowfall and endless expanses of unspoiled wooded areas to explore, Lesser Slave River provides a truly breathtaking backdrop for any type of arctic adventure. The region's extensive trail system and vast Lesser Slave Lake provide a host of opportunities for all manner of outdoor enthusiasts to explore.
Take in a truly one-of-a-kind winter landscape as you trek through a crisp white, snow-silent boreal forest on cross-country skis or snowshoes at the Nine Mile Creek Recreation Area. Search for animal tracks with the kids at Lesser Slave Lake Provincial Park. Any way you choose to enjoy it, winter is especially wondrous in Lesser Slave River.
Frostbite and hypothermia can be real dangers in winter. Be sure you're prepared before you head outside for the day. Dress in layers and always wear a hat. It's also a good idea to carry extra socks and a sweater.
Winter camping is available at the Marten River campground group site on a first come first served basis. Please notify the park office if you plan on staying at the campsite. Fireplaces and wood are available. Pit toilets are near the picnic shelter.
This education and research facility is located at kilometer 19 on Highway 88 and is open year round. Here you will find exciting displays in the exhibit hall as well as snowshoe and cross-country ski loans. Be sure to call ahead if you are planning on coming into the centre during the winter weekdays (Mon–Fri).
Located just off of Highway 88 at kilometer 12, the Northshore Day use area is a great place to stage your cross country ski adventure. At the day use area you will find a fire pit and a winterized picnic shelter available for your use.
15 km of cross-country ski trails are not patrolled and skiers should be prepared for emergencies. We suggest you carry an emergency kit containing an extra ski tip, cord, wire, pliers, a pocket knife, cell phone, screw driver and screws.
There are no formal snowshoe trails, so snowshoers are welcome to explore the park in the open or forested areas. Please do not snowshoe on cross-country ski trails.
Lesser Slave Lake is the number one winter fishing destination for Alberta Anglers. With numerous access points around the lake some great fishing spots are accessible during the winter season. Widewater, Canyon Creek, Joussard and the Narrows are all accessible by auto, ATV and snowmobile.
Take the Trans Canada Trail through a mixed wood forest along the shore of Lesser Slave Lake. Bison at the Northshore Homestead Ranch can sometimes be seen along the fence line during the winter. This is one of the longest trails in the park with relatively flat and easy skiing.
This flat and easy loop trail is just outside the Boreal Centre for Bird Conservation and is a great place to learn and practice your cross-country ski skills. Keep an eye out for winter residents like the black capped chickadee, downy woodpecker and pine siskin.
Plan for a round-trip, as the Lily Creek group site cannot be accessed by vehicle during the winter months. When you reach the group site head down to the beach to look for the ice ridges, off the mouth of Lily Creek, that can pile up as high as 15ft. This trail is flat with easy skiing.
The Nine Mile Creek Recreation Area offers visitors 8 km of trails groomed for classic skiing. Junctions at this site are clearly marked with signs portraying maps of the surrounding trails and denoting the visitor's present location. This trail system offers visitors with beginner and intermediate level trails. Visitors seeking beginner trails are encouraged to explore the Box Trail. Those wishing to have a longer ski are encouraged to extend their path along the intermediate section of this trail, looping back along Regeneration Way. The Conifer Valley Trail offers visitors a beautiful loop near the beginning of the trail system.
• 8 km of trails track set for classic ski use.
• No trail fees are in effect, however donations to the club are encouraged.
Site Facilities: A chalet is located on site and is open on weekends.
Ski Equipment: No equipment is available in the local area.
Club Information: The Nine Mile Creek Recreational Club has only been founded in the last three years. Club members are currently working in conjunction with the Department of Sustainable Resource Development to expand the trail infrastructure.
Access to Site (when open/accessible): Visitors may access the site anytime during the ski season.

Halloween Eggplant Pizzas. These low carb pizzas are perfect for fueling your kids before a night of trick or treating. This Halloween dinner bakes in the oven and can be horrifying if the cheese bubbles enough. Let's all laugh at these photos together, shall we?
You ever get an idea in your head and then it comes bubbling out of the oven and you realized mistakes had been made? A giant "Oh NO!" comes blurting out…and you conclude you made a #PinterestFail before it even got a chance to be a #PinterestWin.
Listen, I've made these Eggplant Pizzas a million times, it's an easy go to for a weekday dinner. It's a low carb alternative that I truly love and is tasty. Obviously, it's cheese and pepperoni, who doesn't love? My thought was with Halloween being on a Wednesday it would be nice to feed your little goblin a quick but healthier meal. I didn't realize my cute jack-o-lanterns would actually be Freddy Kruegers popping out of the oven.
Couldn't I just re-photograph this recipe? Yeah, I could. I've made it before and didn't have bubbling cheese turn into a replica of an unmasked Deadpool. Nor did I have pepperoni smiles sliding away to hide from its own self.
However, it's Halloween and these are mildly horrifying meets painfully funny. It's also nice to be reminded that not everything has to be perfect and curated in the world of blogging all the time. I sincerely hope you make these. I hope they look better than mine and if they don't I hope you laugh. I hope you laugh as hard as I did when these warlocks were created.
So you're about to see how cute these things started out.
Start by slicing rounds of eggplant. One eggplant yields around 8-10 pizzas. Brush them with olive oil, salt them, and add them to a 400-degree oven to bake for 10 minutes.
After they've cooked top them with pizza sauce, Italian seasonings, and shredded cheddar cheese (freshly shredded will bake better). Then using pepperoni slices, cut out your jack-o-lantern faces out of the pepperonis. Place them on your pizzas then add back to the oven for another 10 minutes or until cheese begins to bubble.
RIP those cute little faces.
Halloween Eggplant Pizzas for dinner. These low carb pizzas are perfect for fueling your kids before a night of trick or treating.
Slice eggplant into 1/4 inch rounds.
Brush Olive Oil on both sides of your eggplant rounds and sprinkle with salt and Italian seasonings on the top side. Put in the oven to bake for 10 minutes.
In the meantime cut jack-o-lantern eyes, noses, and mouths out of the pepperoni slices.
Once the eggplant has cooked pull it out of the oven.
Top with pizza sauce, cheese, and pepperoni face decorations. Add it back into the oven for another 10 minutes or until cheese starts to bubble.
Let cool for 3 minutes and serve.
The longer I look at them, the more I start to think they might be cute. Might be.
The sweetness of the eggplant pairs deliciously to the rest of the pizza ingredients that I don't miss the pizza dough. Especially when I"m looking to be a little healthier.
I hope you got a good laugh at me performing a Nightmare Before Christmas on my eggplant pizzas. I truly hope you make these delicious pizzas. It's such a quick meal you can make for your family before a night of Tricks and Treats.
If you like these more real life posts, let me know down below. There are plenty of times I have to re-shoot food because of silly mess ups within and out of my control. So it could be a fun series of "Opps" posts. Leave me comments below on your thoughts!

In light of my discussion in the previous post of what apologetics ISN'T, I want to look over some of the passages of Scripture most central to the support of apologetics. My contention is that such passages do not actually support apologetics, but rather support one of the other items I delineated as being related to apologetics.
First, I would like to look at Paul's speech before the Areopagus in Athens as recorded in Acts 17. This is often cited as the prime example of apologetics in Scripture. Paul stands up before a group of self-proclaimed intellectuals and supposedly defends his faith. I would say that Paul's speech definitely is a great example of how to share the gospel with pagan intellectuals, but I see nothing in Paul's speech that falls into the category of apologetics.
Paul opens his remarks by doing what I call "bridging." He finds some area of similar belief between himself and his listeners. He commends them as being religious (v. 22). After all, they worship many gods. They are firm believers in the category of deity, and that this category of deity should be actively worshiped.
Then Paul bridges again by latching onto their altar to an unknown god. He seems to see this as an example of their superior religiosity, but he also says it demonstrates their ignorance (v. 23). In other words he shows how they themselves have some sense of the divine, but they themselves admit to being uncertain that they fully understand the divine. This altar to an unknown god is an admission that there is more to the divine/spiritual/numinous than they have direct knowledge of.
Paul then engages in differentiation and proclamation. In verses 24-26, Paul describes the biblical God. Paul even uses clear allusions to Old Testament passages. Paul is demonstrating how the monotheistic, biblical God is very different from the Greeks' polytheism as practiced in Athens. Paul offers no proof that the biblical God is more true than the Greeks' polytheism. He simply declares the biblical God to be the true God, and he shows that the biblical God is different from their view.
Next, Paul returns to bridging in verses 26-27. He connects with the audience's own worldview by referencing an idea ingrained in their cultural consciousness. He quotes a Greek poet who says that all human beings are the offspring of the divine. Again Paul is appealing to their deep-rooted sense of the divine – the idea that the divine is within reach, and that the divine has somehow touched each and every one of us. In other words, the biblical omnipotent, omnipresent Creator-God fits with their own perception of the world.
Paul goes back to differentiation in verse 29. The Greeks had surmised that if human beings were touched by the divine, then it was reasonable to depict the gods in human form. Paul states that he comes to a different conclusion based on biblical truth. Again alluding to Old Testament passages, Paul explains that since we are God's offspring, then God must be greater than we are. Therefore, he should not be depicted as an idol. In fact, God is greater than anything that can be depicted by the art and thought of man. This is not really a rational argument. Paul is explaining a very biblical idea of God and showing how it differs from the Greeks' polytheism. He states that the biblical concept of God is correct, but he offers no actual proof of it.
Paul then moves into direct proclamation. In verses 30-31 Paul simply declares the gospel, highlighting the mercy of God, the future judgment by God, the sin of the audience, and their need for repentance. There is very little here that the Athenians could relate to from their own way of thinking. Paul is left to just state it as fact.
At last, in the closing phrase of Paul's speech he provides the proof of all of the statements he has made before, especially of the statements regarding final judgment. The only proof that Paul gives in the entire passage is the proof of the resurrection. Apparently he does not try to prove that Jesus actually rose from the dead. He merely states that Jesus rose, and then he uses that fact to support everything else he has said previously. This is proclamation, perhaps combined with eyewitness testimony.
So Paul's speech is not apologetics. The techniques he employs are outside of apologetics when apologetics is strictly defined. But Paul's speech is not an example of apologetics for some additional reasons. Instead of treating his audience as equally rational human beings with some shared intellectual common ground, Paul twice declares his audience to be ignorant (verses 23,30). He declares their idolatry to be wrong and deserving of repentance (verses 29-30), and he declares that if they do not repent they will fall under the judgment of God (verse 31). This is more akin to fire and brimstone preaching than civil debate. Paul makes many statements without offering proof, and many of these statements are directly contradictory to the beliefs of his audience (verses 24-26,30-31). The only proof that Paul does offer in the passage is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But today the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the end goal of much of apologetics. Apologists spend more time trying to prove the resurrection of Jesus Christ, rather than using it as proof of Christianity.
What Paul is actually doing here is a wise evangelistic technique. He is speaking to intellectuals, so instead of speaking to their heads, he speaks to their hearts. He exposes that they themselves feel unsettled about their own beliefs. They themselves feel that there is more to divinity than what they currently understand. Then he talks directly to that deep-rooted unease. Instead of waffling around with argument and debate, he confidently declares the truth to the spiritually confused. Without shame he grounds his entire speech on the one fact that they found most ridiculous: the resurrection of the dead (verses 31-32). So he identifies to the philosophers that they themselves know that they are theologically and spiritually confused, and as a cure to their confusion, he speaks with uncompromising clarity and directness. This is not apologetics of the mind. This is evangelism of the heart.
The second place that is turned to for support for apologetics is the group of Scriptures that make use of the Greek word group apologia from which we get the word apologetics. The verses cited as most clearly referring to apologetics are Philippians 1:7,16 and 1 Peter 3:15. The word group surrounding apologia was originally referring to a legal defense given in a courtroom setting. Already we see that we are on shaky ground here. The type of arguments given in a legal defense would actually have little in common with the types of arguments utilized in apologetics. For one thing in court there is a heavy reliance upon eyewitness testimony. I would think that would have been even more true in the Roman and Jewish courts before the days of high-tech crime scene investigation techniques. In a court room, one is required to call actual live eyewitnesses to give testimony under strict rules of conduct. This is impossible to replicate in an apologetic setting.
Now what is Peter asking his readers to do? Is he asking them to give a set of rational arguments proving the truth of the claims of Christianity? This hardly seems to fit the tenor or the context of the letter. Instead, Peter is probably using a play on words here. To a group of believers who are facing the very real danger of courtroom prosecution, he says to prepare a "defense." He tells them to defend the hope within them. He is not asking them to give rational arguments to defend an objective hope. He is telling them to give their personal reasons for the hope that is within their hearts. They are to give reasons for something subjective. In other words, here are Christians facing persecution, but instead of giving up hope, they continue to cling to that hope. Peter wants them to be ready for when people ask them why they still have hope in the face of hopelessness. In that context, do you think Peter is expecting them to come out with the ontological argument? No, I think he is probably just expecting them to give the gospel. Perhaps he is expecting them to give their personal testimony. I think it is pretty hard to see Peter as expecting more from his readers than what Peter did himself in the face of persecution in Acts 4:5-22; 5:21-42. Peter, when questioned, simply declared the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ from Scripture and boldly called his listeners to repentance. That was Peter's apologia when brought before the highest Jewish court.
The passages in Philippians 1:7,16 are equally difficult to construe as supporting the modern concept of apologetics. Paul uses the word family of apologia in references to his own imprisonment. So Paul is literally in prison, and he will literally go before a court in which he will literally have to present an apologia. There is a chance that Paul is literally referring to his actual legal defense. However, it is more likely that we again have a play on words. After all he says that he is in jail for the "defense [apologia] of the gospel." What does this mean? Does Paul think that he is being called upon to rationally defend the truth claims of the gospel against intellectual assault? Clearly this is highly unlikely. There is no record of Paul ever being imprisoned due to intellectual problems with his message. Instead, we see Paul arrested due to jealousy, theological/exegetical differences with the Jews, Jewish racism against Gentiles, etc. The case brought against him at the end of Acts is not based on intellectual argumentation, but rather the factually incorrect testimony of false witnesses.
How does Paul see himself called upon to defend the gospel? Perhaps Paul wants to defend the reputation of the faith from the scurrilously false accusations of the Jews (this was a debate over whether or not Paul defiled the temple, or whether or not the gospel was contradictory to the Jewish belief system – matters not within the boundaries of apologetics). Perhaps Paul sees himself as a representative of the gospel, so any legal case brought against him is tantamount to a legal case brought against the gospel itself. Perhaps Paul is not referring to any actual defense. Perhaps his play on words is merely a reference to his efforts to proclaim the gospel throughout the world.
The only times we see Paul giving an apologia are in the book of Acts after he is arrested in the temple. In Paul's first apologia in Acts 22:6-21, Paul only gets as far as giving his personal testimony before he is cut off by the rioting crowd. In his second apologia before the Sanhedrin Paul is again quickly cut off. He only has time to declare himself to be a Pharisee and to assert his belief in the resurrection of the dead. In his third apologia before the Roman governor Felix, Paul does contradict the accusations made against himself personally. This is not apologetics. This is an actual legal defense made against legal accusations. In this apologia Paul also makes some statements concerning the gospel itself. He says that the gospel is in line with the teachings of the Law and the Prophets, and that the hope of the resurrection of the dead is an essential teaching of the gospel. Again, this is not apologetics. This is exegesis and theology. It is also differentiation. He is not trying to prove the truth of the gospel. He is just saying that the teachings of the gospel are different from the statements made by the Jews concerning the Way. In his fourth apologia before King Herod Agrippa, Bernice, and Festus, Paul again gives his personal testimony. He defends his personal reputation as a good Jew, probably in response to the accusations made against him by the Jews. He declares again his belief in the resurrection of the dead, offering no proof for it beyond an appeal to the omnipotence of God. Paul finishes by proclaiming the basic tenets of the gospel and by inviting King Herod to believe.
So at no point in Paul's recorded imprisonment at the end of Acts or in all of the related courtroom drama, do we ever see Paul engaging in apologetics as understood today. So when Paul says he has been imprisoned for the defense of the gospel, it is hard to see how he could possibly be referring to apologetic argumentation. When Paul was on trial, he openly gave his testimony, he declared the truth of the gospel from Scripture, and he called his audience to faith and repentance. This idea of "defense" is not apologetics. It is evangelism – pure and simple.
And I could go on through the other more minor passages given in support of apologetics. They all boil down to practices and techniques that are other than apologetics. In the end we see that Scripture neither commands nor gives examples of apologetics strictly defined.

Audio Review: If the Seas Catch Fire by L.A. Witt
Posted on July 15, 2018 by susan65coug Miss Behaving
Title: If the Seas Catch Fire
Author: L.A. Witt
Narrator: Michael Ferraiuolo
Heroes: Sergei & Domenico
Release Date: October 19. 2017
Available at: Amazon & Audible
Blurb: Sergei Andronikov was a child when the Mafia wiped out his family, leaving him with nothing but a hunger for revenge. Years later, through ruthless strategy and tireless patience, he's a contract killer working for the three families ruling Cape Swan… and he's nearly in position to bring them all down from the inside.
Domenico "Dom" Maisano is Mafia royalty, a made man… and a hitman. He's caught up in a violent life he can't escape, struggling to maintain an image he doesn't want, and suppressing desires he can't have.
A chance encounter throws the killers into each other's paths. Though Dom knows he's playing a dangerous game, he's intrigued and keeps coming back. Sergei can't resist him either—Dom is everything he set out to destroy, but he's also everything he's ever ached for in a man.
Then Sergei gets the contract he's been waiting for—the hit that promises to bring the town's Mafia to its knees.
But when a capo makes an unexpected move, Sergei must choose between dropping the hammer on the families he vowed to annihilate, and protecting the man he swore he wouldn't love.
And the wrong choice—or even the right one—will destroy them both.
I knew this wasn't going to be all cotton candy and sugary fluff, but, it sure had its surprising moments. However, those moments were sprinkled with such brutality that my first thought was, wow, this would make an incredible dramatic movie. I can clearly see this on the big screen. Action, heartache, violence, inhumanity, and love. Any time a blurb starts with "two killers meeting", you know you are in for a ride.
Sergei and Dom broke my heart, both of them equally. Dom was born into a mafia family and is the son of a traitor. His life was designed for him and he had only two options: do what he was told, or end up like his father. These weren't veiled threats, he saw his own father die when he was only a small boy. He knew his life belonged to the Maisano family, and that life made him into a killer. Sergei watched his father and brothers die by the hands of the mafia, and saw his mother so mentally tormented by that viciousness that she no longer knew who Sergei was to her. That moment defined Sergeis and he voluntarily chose to be a contract killer with the sole purpose of taking down the mafia. Two brutal killers who didn't choose their paths in life, but had them chosen for them.
Until they meet, one not realizing exactly who the other is, and then ever so slowly they start falling for each other. What started out as a sexual arrangement became so much more…one that took a defining moment to realize exactly how much more.
This is a pretty long audio, and at times I wished it were a little shorter…until it ended and then I wanted more. I know, I know, let the story play out at its own pace. This is the third performance I've listened to by Michael Ferraiuolo and it will not be my last. He is fast becoming a favorite for me and I will be looking for him in future audios. In this case, I'd already listened to his russian accent in The Master Will Appear, and I instantly recognized MIsha's voice and had to tell myself to think Sergei, think Sergei…and even though I still heard Misha in the back of my mind, I had no problem hearing Sergei, as well. And his Dom voice? Hubba, Hubba, I wanted to climb all over that man…that voice was velvet smooth and pure sex. Michael has a way with narrating and I will never turn down a chance to review one of his audios…even if the story's blurb doesn't grab my attention, I know if he is the one performing it will make me think twice. He is that good.
I have read a ton by LA Witt and it is no secret that I love her work, so I also went back and looked up my own ratings for audios performed by Michael Ferraiuolo and they are all 4.5 to 5 stars. I think we have a winner here folks and I will tell you clearly and emphatically that you will enjoy his performances. No surprise that this one is highly recommended.
*I received a copy of this book from the author in return for a fair and honest review.*

The first fifth grade overnight trip on the Mississippi River was an exciting, character-shaping adventure for 21 fifth graders and seven chaperones. Perfect weather contributed to a wonderul outing that helped students escape their comfort zones and build confidence in unfamiliar surroundings. Participants canoed, swam, explored sandbars and gravelbars, took nature hikes, and camped out on a sandbar on Buck Island. The fifth graders created some great memories. It was Quapaw Canoe Company's first overnight trip with students from a Mississippi school.
I put my foot on the gunwale, stood to full height, and jumped out of my canoe into the Mississippi River. Several times during the previous night, the sound of tugboats pushing barges through that very shipping lane had woken me, but there I was, swimming the mighty Mississippi. As I broke the surface, four fifth grade girls called out a warning. They were coming in, too; maybe right on top of me!
This year at JA has started with much talk of character: how to build and shape it, how to take children away from the comfortable and familiar to help them discover unique capacities for strength, confidence, and resilience in the face of the strange and unfamiliar. I've had the privilege to travel on many trips that comprise a significant arm of JA's character education program, but I've never been on a trip quite like this. Canoeing the Mississippi River? With fifth graders?
It started at Helena, Arkansas, at the Quapaw Canoe Company, where owner and chief guide John Ruskey talked to us about our route. We'd paddle three miles of the tributary St. Francis then meet the Mississippi. The plan was to overnight on a sandbar at Buck Island. He talked about star charts and river levels and the wildlife we'd likely encounter, and I could feel the excitement building all around me.
We stopped for lunch at the juncture of the two rivers. By that time, we'd experienced close encounters with some of Ruskey's wildlife. Asian Carp had jumped into two of our boats, creating hilarious chaos; without missing a beat, our fifth graders pursued wildlife into its habitat, seeking out toads and turtle shells, dragon flies and fish skeletons, as we wandered along the bank.
Those who plan outdoor education often speak of "capstone trips" and "community building." We long for these experiences for our students. We know their potential for character and development, the inexpressible chemistry by which such experiences weave themselves into the fabric of self. The equation is elusive and impossible to recreate in a classroom, however progressive or rigorous.
We know their potential for character and development, the inexpressible chemistry by which such experiences weave themselves into the fabric of self.
There is a capstone, and it shifted into place on a sandbar along the Mississippi River, under a blanket of stars, as John Ruskey captivated twenty–one fifth graders with talk of the first explorers to the region and the number of houses a beaver will build in its lifetime. It found traction with half a dozen of those fifth grade girls who discovered that they can love Mississippi mud as much as a cell phone or an iPad. Community happened on the river as four canoes of JA students called out a Quapaw "whoop" of greeting to each other across the water.
I traveled to the canoe company with several students and another teacher, and our car played a familiar game along the road: I Spy. I spy, with my little eye, a mighty adventure. It was strange, and it was wonderful, and I can't wait to go again!

According to The Wall Street Journal, Tony Hayward, CEO of British Petroleum, boasted about B-P's "irreversible culture of change." After 3 years as CEO, Mr. Hayward was confident his new company culture had put the past problems of being accident prone behind them. Then the massive oil spill happened.
James 4:13-14 teaches, "Now listen, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.' Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow."
"Irreversible" is a strong word. That word has surely haunted Mr. Hayward. It's good to remember that only God can claim something as irreversible. Any claims we make should be tempered with, "If it's the Lord's will."
