The so-far tiny Listeria outbreak behind massive recall of Tyson chicken
Two Listeria monocytogenes illnesses in Texas and one in Delaware with one death between them is so far a small outbreak that's brought on Saturday night's massive recall of Tyson chicken.
Tyson's Dexter, MO unit recalled almost 8,5 million pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) chicken products because of those illnesses. See the complete list of recalled products, including product and date codes, on the USDA-FSIS website.
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta advises people not to eat, sell, or serve recalled products.
Illnesses started on dates ranging from April 6, 2021, to June 5, 2021. Sick people range in age from 60 to 95 years, with a median age of 89, and 66% are male. All three people were hospitalized, and one death reported is from Texas.
"The true number of sick people in an outbreak is likely higher than the number reported, and the outbreak may not be limited to the states with known illnesses," nationally-known food safety attorney Bill Marler says. "This is because some people recover without medical care and are not tested for Listeria. In addition, recent illnesses may not yet be reported as it usually takes 3 to 4 weeks to determine if a sick person is part of an outbreak."
State and local public health officials interviewed people about the foods they ate in the month before they got sick. All three people were in a long-term care facility or hospital when they got sick. These facilities served many food items, including meals with precooked chicken.
Public health investigators are using the PulseNet system to identify illnesses that may be part of this outbreak. CDC PulseNet manages a national database of DNA fingerprints of bacteria that cause foodborne illnesses. DNA fingerprinting is performed on bacteria using a method called whole-genome sequencing (WGS).
WGS showed that bacteria from sick people's samples are identical. This suggests that people in this outbreak got sick from the same food.
USDA-FSIS found the outbreak strain of Listeria in two samples of precooked chicken products during routine product testing. Along with the epidemiologic data, this suggests that people likely got sick from eating pre-cooked chicken.
USDA-FSIS and state partners are collecting food purchase records from the long-term care facility and hospital to identify a common precooked chicken product that may be making people sick.
Until more is known, CDC is advising people at higher risk for severe Listeria illness and facilities caring for them to take extra precautions: reheat the precooked chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F and do not eat cold dishes made with precooked chicken unless the chicken was reheated before being used in the dish.
About the Recall
Shipped nationwide to retailers and institutions including hospitals, nursing facilities, restaurants, schools, and Department of Defense locations
Products include frozen, fully cooked chicken strips, diced chicken, chicken wing sections, and fully cooked pizza with chicken
Products were sold under many brands including Tyson, Jet's Pizza, Casey's General Store, Marco's Pizza, and Little Caesars
The products subject to recall bear establishment number "EST. P-7089" on the product bag or inside the USDA mark of inspection
What Businesses Should Do
Do not serve or sell recalled products.
Long-term care facilities, hospitals, and other facilities that serve people at higher risk for severe Listeria illness should take extra precautions.
Listeria is particularly harmful to people who are 65 years or older, pregnant, or have a weakened immune system.
All of the sick people in this outbreak ate foods served at a long-term care facility or hospital.
Follow USDA-FSIS's guidanceexternal icon to prevent the spread and growth of Listeria.
Do not eat any recalled products. Throw them away or return them to where you bought them.
Follow these five steps to clean your refrigerator, containers, and surfaces that may have touched the recalled products. Listeria can survive in the refrigerator and can easily spread to other foods and surfaces.
Call your healthcare provider right away if you have these symptoms after eating recalled products:
If you are pregnant: Fever and muscle aches. Your illness may be mild, but Listeria can cause pregnancy loss or premature birth. It can also cause serious illness or death in newborns.
If you are not pregnant: Headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions, in addition to fever and muscle aches.
About Listeria infections
Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell spoiled but can still cause serious and sometimes life-threatening infections. Anyone who has eaten any recalled product and developed symptoms of Listeria infection should seek medical treatment and tell their doctors about the possible Listeria exposure.
Also, anyone who has eaten any of the recalled products should monitor themselves for symptoms during the coming weeks because it can take up to 70 days after exposure to Listeria for symptoms of listeriosis to develop.
Symptoms of Listeria infection can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache, and neck stiffness. Specific laboratory tests are required to diagnose Listeria infections, which can mimic other illnesses.
Pregnant women, the elderly, young children, and people such as cancer patients who have weakened immune systems are particularly at risk of serious illnesses, life-threatening infections, and other complications. Although infected pregnant women may experience only mild, flu-like symptoms, their infections can lead to premature delivery, infection of the newborn, or even stillbirth.

This Sunday we will hear the account of Jesus' double healing of Jairus' daughter and a woman who had been sick for twelve years. These stories are woven together in circumstance but also by themes of healing, touch, and faith. There are also stark contrasts to be found here.
Jairus and his daughter are people of status and position. He is both named and known. The 'woman' is unnamed and unknown. Jairus tells his story boldly and openly. The bleeding woman shares her's reluctantly. Jairus' daughter is mourned. The woman's suffering is, initially, unrecognised.
Yet despite these stark differences Jesus moves effortlessly – and publicly – between these two crises. Circumstances differ. The need for – and offer of – Jesus healing touch is the same. Both – in their own way – 'believe' enough to approach Jesus. Perhaps that is the take-home message here: Come to Jesus as you are. After all, that is the only possibility.
We will combine this Sunday morning with the Tongan Methodist community at St Barnabas for Holy Communion from 9:00am. Holy Communion will also be offered at St Michael and All Angles, Hall from 11:00am. All are welcome!

Q: STS 3.6.4 Gradle tooling not available? I've just downloaded Spring Tool Suite 3.6.4 (201503100339, Eclipse Luna SR1 (4.4.2)) on Windows 8.  I'm attempting to import an existing Gradle project, but this option is not available within the import menu.
Playing a hunch that Gradle support may have been removed, I sought to install it from the Eclipse Marketplace.  But when I found "Gradle Integration for Eclipse (4.4) 3.6.4.RELEASE" the only option available was "uninstall", implying that it was already installed.
Is there something I need to do to "Activate" the Gradle tooling?

A: The Gradle tooling is not installed by default if you download an STS distribution. You should be able to install it from the Eclipse marketplace or the dashboard.
If you are not sure whether this is installed or not, you can check that in the about dialog. There is an option to inspect the installation details.

A: @Martin - I repeated my last steps, and this time "Gradle Support" installed without incident.  I have no clue what is different now, but the error about "connector not available" went away.  I now have Gradle support.  Thanks for your help! - k

A: I checked the issue with the Marketplace again and it looks like a limitation of the Eclipse Marketplace client at the moment.
More details:
The Gradle IDE contains three features that should be installed. One of these features is the dashboard - which comes with STS by default. It looks like the marketplace client checks the already installed features and whenever it finds one of the features of the item to be installed in the existing installation, it enables the "uninstall" button. This seems to be the reason why the Gradle IDE entry from the Marketplace is listed as "uninstall".
I filed a bug for this against the Eclipse Marketplace. Lets see that happens. As a workaround, you should be able to install the Gradle tooling from the dashboard or the STS update site directly.

I have to admit that I don't think I ever sat through an episode of Firefly during its first run on FOX. I had heard a little about it, but what little I saw didn't really click for me. Maybe I didn't give it a chance, and many would say that the same could be said for FOX for canceling the show. Lucky for me, the SciFi channel has the old episodes, one of which I actually sat down and watched last night, and I kinda liked it.
I watched it mainly as research for when I went to see Serenity earlier this afternoon. Seeing that episode, where I learned a few things about the characters and the "'Verse" that they live in, helped understand what was happening in the movie. Let me say if you just walk off the street and don't know anything about what has come before, you are going to be a bit confused by what's going on. The creators try to get in a few things that will make a newcomer comfortable in the "Serenity World," but I'm not so sure audiences of today are really that smart. Plus, the movie looked like a two hour episode of a television show. The special effects were outstanding (even featuring a battle scene that rivals the opening battle to Revenge of the Sith!), but some of the sets looked like they were done on sets leftover from the new Star Trek TV series'.
All in all, it wasn't too bad, tho'. If you've watched Firefly, you're probably going to like Serenity, but if you've never seen it before, you may want to pass on it.
EDIT: It should be interesting to see how it comes out against its only real competition: the Jessica Alba, Paul Walker vehicle, Into the Blue this weekend.

East African leaders want "urgent" regional force in Congo
KAMPALA, Uganda — East African leaders said they are proceeding with an urgent plan to deploy a regional force in Congo, where some areas in the country's east have long been disturbed by sporadic violence.
Kenyan authorities announced the decision in a statement following a meeting Thursday of regional leaders in the East African Community bloc.
That meeting in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, resolved to "accelerate the establishment of a regional force to help contain and, where necessary, fight the negative forces" in Congo, said the statement. "Towards this end, the meeting directed that planning for such a force commence with immediate effect and with the full consultation of relevant authorities in the region."
It remains unclear how such a force would be staffed, and there were no details on when it would be ready to deploy.
The central African nation of Congo joined the East African Community last month, becoming the trade bloc's seventh member. The other members are Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and South Sudan.
With Congo's admission, the bloc now commands a market of about 300 million people. Its overall goal is to create a political federation.
The bloc already has a common market to allow free movement of people, goods and capital within the region, although occasional trade disputes among members have hampered that and raised questions about protectionism among local authorities.
Despite its vast size and wealth of natural resources, Congo remains one of the poorest countries in the world.
Eastern Congo is particularly plagued by rebel violence as several armed groups vie for control of its mineral-rich lands.
One armed group, the M23, launched attacks against government troops near the Uganda border recently, forcing thousands of civilians to seek temporary shelter in Uganda.
In another part of eastern Congo, Ugandan troops are helping Congolese forces to hunt down rebels linked to an Islamic extremist group.

India's GDP numbers for the fourth quarter and full year of 2016-17 were released a few days ago. India's economic growth has slowed down sharply, driven primarily by the notebandi announcement of November 2016. Gross Value Added (GVA), a true submeasure of economic activity, has also experienced a steep and sustained fall. Private sector investment has collapsed and the economy is running on just one engine of public spending. The GVA growth of industry has fallen from 10.7% in March 2016 to just 3.8% in March 2017, a decline of nearly seven percentage points of growth.
The most worrisome aspect of all this is the impact on job creation. Jobs have been extremely hard to come by for the youth of the nation. The construction industry which is one of the largest employment generators in the country has suffered a contraction. This implies loss of millions of jobs for the nation's workplace.

Colostrum is the very first milk the mammalian mother gives to her newborn, and it is evolved to give the newborn the best possible start of life. It contains numerous bioactive factors that promote growth, development and maturation of both the immune system and the digestion system. These effects can be used on human patients suffering from diseases and disorders related to the immune or digestion system.
The very first nutrition for mammalian newborns
The mammalian newborn is highly sensitive after birth, as the environments suddenly changes from the protected sterile area in the womb with continuous feeding through the bird cord to the foreign microbe-rich environment outside with occasionally feeding through the mouth (Sangild et al., 2013). This puts high demands on the newborn's immune system and digestion system (Newburg & Walker, 2007).
Colostrum provide the bioactive factors and nutrients necessary for the growth, development and maturation of both the immune system and the digestion system in the newborn. These high levels of bioactive compounds are the single most important feature about colostrum (Rathe et al., 2014).
The mother produce colostrum during the pregnancy, but stops immediately after birth, so the newborn only gets colostrum during the first 24-48 hours of life (Stelwagen et al., 2009). This short time of delivery makes the provision of colostrum to the newborn so much more important to secure in order to give the newborn the best possible start of life (Kehoe et al., 2007). After the first few days the amounts of bioactive compounds drops and the colostrum becomes common mature milk (Foley & Otterby, 1978).
Milk matrix and contents in colostrum
Colostrum contains several bioactive factors. Some of the most important are immunoglobulins, growth factors, antimicrobial factors, anti-inflammatory factors, and bioactive oligosaccharides. These factors help growth and maturation of the immune system and the digestion system in order to protect the newborn against infections and other diseases. In addition, colostrum contains high levels of many different vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, lipids and proteins (Kelly et al., 2003). Many of the bioactive factors in colostrum enhance each other's effects, their molecules are linked together or they depend on each other's presence in order to function properly. Whole colostrum with an intact so-called milk matrix is thus the most bioactive version of colostrum (Chatterton et al., 2013).
Even though the specific composition of colostrum varies between species, many compounds are similar among species. This means that colostrum from one species can be digested by another species and the beneficial effects can be transferred. Thus, humans can intake bovine colostrum and benefit from its high contents of bioactive compounds (Jensen et al., 2013).
Bovine colostrum as therapy for human diseases and disorders
As colostrum is evolved to protect the newborn by promoting growth and development of the immune system and gastrointestinal system, it is virtually a natural immune booster. Extensive research has documented that patients suffering from different diseases and disorders related to the immune system or the gut benefit from intake of bovine colostrum as dietary supplement (Pereira, 2014). This includes immune related responses, infections, tissue damage, pathogen invasions, adverse effects from chemotherapy, adverse effects from intake of NSAIDs, diarrhea, gut problems, respiratory tract infections, preterm birth and more. Bovine colostrum can be used as an orally ingested diet supplement provided against a specific disease, as a generally immunological protection or as a treatment for adverse side effects. No adverse effects have been found so far (Struff & Sprotte, 2008).
Many studies have proven beneficial effects from intake of bovine colostrum, but more studies are still needed to establish the full potential of bovine colostrum as therapy (Rathe et al., 2014).

Sustainable fashion, eco fashion and eco-friendly designs are terms that refer to a holistic approach to fashion design. All the businesses can become more sustainable by reducing, reusing and recycling their resources; however there are specific decisions that a designer can make to support a more sustainable future for fashion. The complexity of creating a more sustainable apparel industry reaches across all elements of business, from production to retailers to consumers.


Brides are opting for a more effortless vibe with upstyles that are asymmetrical or have a softer, almost messy finish. If you have layers, leave them out to create an even softer look around the face.
Braided wedding hairstyles are hotter than ever – and it's no coincidence when you take into account the surge of rustic-themed wedding affairs. However, when styled the right way, they can also be used for more formal settings as well. Halo braids, French plaits, undercut braids, braided buns, and fishtail plaits; however you want to wear them, this is one long-lasting trend that's not going anywhere.
The trick to amazing waves is longevity – they need to be able to stand up to hours of posing for photos, embracing loved ones and busting a move on the dance floor – so don't be shy when applying product, and bring hairspray to the reception for touch-ups. Balanced with some subtle sombré highlights to add definition and appeal, this look will last a life time.
If you're inspired by vintage wedding details, borrow your hairstyle from a different decade, too, with curls and twists that would make any pin-up starlet jealous.
Love wearing your hair up but a traditional chignon is just too formal for you? Dress up a basic ponytail with intricate curls and twists.
So long extensions are not you – minimalist pixies never looked so good. We're psyched to see more brides embracing them on their wedding day as well!
From traditional veils, small tiaras, to gorgeous diamanté accessories, there is a look right for everyone. But if it is simply not your style, the ever-awesome flower crown isn't going anywhere. We've used big blooms in hair for a while now, but it's time for the pretty little ones. From dainty daisy crowns and tiny wildflowers dotted through your halo braid, to baby's breath plaits, this is an easy trend to carry off, and a cool new twist on the much-loved fresh flower hairstyle.
Hope this has given you some inspiration for one of the most special day of your life.


Tickets for the first Between the Waves Madison Music Conference and Festival can be purchased here.
The schedule of events and roster of speakers and panelists is subject to change and is being updated frequently. You can keep an eye on the progress of this historic event by following the Facebook page or by visiting the website often.
After years of discussion, debating and even dreaming, the city of Madison will take a huge step forward in June with its first music conference. The inaugural Between the Waves Madison Music Conference and Festival will take place Thursday, June 15 through Sunday, June 18. The conference's goal is to provide independent musicians with the tools that can help them make a living in music. The conference curriculum is not just geared toward the performer but to the producer, engineer, businessperson and songwriter, encouraging them to focus on building a foundation in a hundred mile radius.
The festival portion of the annual event will highlight the city of Madison, its musical heritage, future potential and especially its current roster of talent. Some forty local performers will participate in entertaining conference attendees, making an impression that they'll take back to their respective cities and hometowns along with a message that Madison is poised to become an important music city, with a thriving music scene that is above all, functional and ready to roll.
Between the Waves Madison is founded by Roy Elkins and there is no one more suited to the task. Elkins is the President of Broadjam, Inc., one of the premier – and longest running – internet-based music companies in the world. Broadjam boasts a membership of 180,000 collaborators and peers in 190 countries who seek to further their careers and hone their skills with opportunities for licensing their music in multiple mediums. Broadjam is also a powerful social media site where musicians from across the globe interact, connect and collaborate. Through the peer review mechanism, Broadjam members gain powerful insights into their songwriting, arranging and production skills. Elkins, who has also served as the President of the Madison Area Music Association, and whose company has been instrumental in providing the technical means for the organization to manage its annual awards selection, lives a relatively quiet life but is a rock star in the international music trade. Go to a NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) show and there are likely to be more people hounding Elkins than some of the bona fide rock stars in attendance. In harmony with many of these efforts, high-school level youths who are participating in music through their schools or through private instruction are being actively sought to attend the conference for free. Anyone interested in reserving a youth pass should contact Mary Elsner at mailto:melsner@wsmamusic.org.
Elkins succeeded in getting the city behind his vision, a critical element in helping put Madison on the musical map. "The world needs to know" is a slogan the BTW organizers have adopted as a battle cry in an effort to make Madison a music city; a destination rather than a flyover. The concept is part and parcel of the growth and development the city is experiencing, particularly in the East Washington Avenue corridor, where a transformation is taking place. As the conference grows in the coming years, the intent is to bring in as many as ten thousand attendees, fueling the city's tourism and creating opportunities for artists to relocate here to build their careers. This is in stark contrast to the tradition of Madison artists who are compelled to relocate in order to further their artistry. At the same time, the conference will keep the spotlight turned on the city itself, its thriving roster of exceptional talent, the natural beauty of the area and its proximity to the other major hubs in the Midwest, from Nashville to the Twin Cities. Such an influx of attendees will stimulate room taxes, provide a boost to the local economy and encourage future growth.
Elkins has assembled a team of volunteers that have been working extraordinarily hard, jumping the hurdles and busting through the roadblocks that can make the first year of such an undertaking incredibly difficult. The first-year planning has had plenty of obstacles to deal with. For instance, merely finding a facility to present the curriculum was difficult. Space being limited, there were few options by the time the event was given the green light. Elkins succeeded in securing the upper level of the Gordon Dining and Event Center on the UW campus with sponsorship help from the UW School of Music. Gordon Dining Hall is actually a well-equipped and spacious facility; a huge area that can be subdivided to create four large rooms, all equipped with the technology to make presentations. The lower-level dining hall makes the facility especially efficient. Even so, there are restrictions, especially on Saturday where some of that space is not available. Attendees will also travel a couple of blocks to the Doubletree Inn and their conference room. Coordinating speakers, travel arrangements, hotels have all been challenging for the group to get things off the ground.
Heading up the festival side is Luke Jorgensen, creator of the annual Whiskeyonsin event and front man for the local Americana group the Lower 5th. Jorgensen has done an exceptional job, recruiting all the performers and making arrangements to center the performances at the 701 East Washington complex, home of the High Noon Saloon, the Brass Ring and the Brink Lounge. There will be an outdoor stage as well, so a very festive setting indeed. Additionally, there will be a hip-hop showcase, a free show at the Majestic on Saturday, June 17th. Wristbanding will provide easy access to all performance areas.
In the future, the conference could become the centerpiece for a full week of local music celebration that could incorporate the Madison Area Music Awards and several other events that occur in June as well as the staging of even more festival events on the Monona Terrace rooftop, the King Street area, the lower Wilson St. venues and other destinations. With the city's support and the support of other institutions such as Tourism, the possibilities are enormous.
$69.00 includes admission to the full conference and festival.
$99 VIP includes the above plus a ticket to the Madison Area Music Awards show on Sunday, May 18, a pass to a pre-MAMA VIP party, a $50 credit on the Broadjam site and a BTW t-shirt.
All venues will charge a $10 cover at the door per venue. The hip-hop showcase at the Majestic is a free show.
There are two aspects of the conference that will be open to the public. The conference will open on Thursday night at 6 pm with a social hour and a thirty-minute opening for the conference. At 7 pm Paul Broucek will present "Music in Film." Broucek is President of Warner Bros. Pictures and has worked as the Executive Music Producer at New Line Cinema where is most famously known for his work producing the music for the Lord of the Rings trilogy. This is a presentation that you will not want to miss. The public can attend this session for an entry fee of $10.00.
On Sunday there are a series of presentations by notable speakers including Martin Atkins, David Spero, Kip Winger, Ben Sidran and Craig Anderton. These sessions will also be available to the public for an entry fee of $10 to see all the speakers.
All the public sessions are limited, based on available seating.
For full bios on speakers (and updates) go here.
A publishing panel made up of film and television experts will examine music samples from conference attendees and provide feedback and advice. Submissions are limited. Keep an eye on the BTW website for information on how to participate.
Kip Winger will be interviewed on Sunday and will give intimate details on his career and experience in the music business, interspersed with solo performance. This will be a special, intimate look an artist who is too often associated only with the hard rock band that bore his surname. Winger has won accolades in classical composition, production and in the field of ballet.
David Spero's presentation will also highlight Sunday's activities. As manager for Joe Walsh, Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens), Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald and Dickie Betts, Spero's delivery will be one of importance for all aspiring musicians and all those interested in the management of artists.
If you've never attended a presentation by Martin Atkins, this will be your opportunity. Atkins never disappoints with his candid and passionate delivery and his common-sense approach to the business of independent promotion and touring. Atkins was the drummer in Ministry and P.I.L. so he has plenty of insight, delivered with flair and no shortage of humor.
Below are two graphics that promote the conference and festival. There will be updates and you can check everything by going to the BTW Madison website.


The thing is, it doesn't matter how much you try to shield your kids from divorce, they will feel the fallout. Unless as parents, you are able to work together during this volatile period, the reality is an uphill struggle for the primary caregiver to remain the constant in the midst of the storm. Worse still there is no forecast as to when the storm will end, and no life jacket in sight. Metaphors aside – in my case – with two confused and unhappy young children to contend with, life was tough.
There is nothing like divorce to become the gateway to either complete emotional shutdown or visceral anger in children. The breaking point for me was collecting my 8 year old son from school and literally being punched in the side whilst walking to our car. Inside the car it got worse and he raged like a toddler. I felt powerless and I just didn't know how to soothe him. At school he showed nothing, just a docile boy who complied with the rules, but at home the anger was palpable. My 5 year old daughter became even more clingy, and they argued like never before. Car journeys felt like a battleground.
My knee jerk reaction was to 'fix', to distract, to talk excitedly about the next trip to the seaside, the upcoming playdate, the new fun house that daddy will have, how nice his girlfriend's cat must be. I alternated between this and thrusting myself forward as the disciplinarian who 'will not be spoken to like that'; and when that failed to produce any sense of calm and order, a reward chart and various marble jars were issued. This too ended in arguments and tears.
Trust me, I tried it all – and to no avail.
Welcome phase one of parenting solo … 'operation rescue': the purchase of a dog.
Our Hungarian Vizsla puppy (quickly named 'Gordanella' or Ella for short) was a love bomb that hit our house at exactly the right moment. We needed this dog to cuddle and to love, she gave us all a focus and a way to centre on the positive – as well as forcing us out into the fresh air come rain or shine. In return Ella was doted on, quickly becoming the bridge between my two children who had struggled to get along since the split. I had no regrets and she quickly became part of our new version of a 'family unit'– despite teething marks on furniture and the occasional chewed up sock.
The reality was that even with Ella in the house, there was still work to be done on an emotional level. I needed to connect with my children in a much deeper way. I came to a realisation that perhaps it was me that needed to change … because I didn't want to just survive in my own home, I wanted us to thrive and be genuinely happy.
The key question for me was how could I help to build real emotional resilience in my children from the inside out? When my son was tested for dyslexia at school, the report flagged up his emotional detachment – and play therapy was suggested. We began play therapy and I soon realised that it was as much about my ability to connect with my child, as my child's ability to connect with me. This shift in mindset led me to research new parenting techniques that focus on attachment rather than punitive control. I had to let go of my fear of being out of control – and open myself up to the possibility that my children might actually have some inner wisdom of their own.
Welcome phase two of parenting solo … my baptism by fire into the world of 'conscious parenting'.
Besides being a methodology backed by the Dali Lama, conscious parenting is actually not as pretentious as it sounds. Put simply it is working less hard to 'fix' and harder to listen. Essentially it is about being mindful and kind … which is not the same as a pushover. In my case I was pre – programmed to skim over difficult emotions, and I was doing this at a very sub-conscious level.
The end result – one furious child.
The end result is a clear recognition in his face that I have listened, and a real appreciation that I have taken his concerns seriously – without assuming I need to lecture or fix the problem. The silence gives my son the space to find his own answer of 'yeah well I don't want to be the same as all the others' … shortly followed by 'but when I need to travel by myself I think I should have one.' I agree and we give each other a hug.
I know, it sounds too simple. I was deeply sceptical myself, until I used the technique and saw the change almost instantly (there was initial resistance which is quite normal – kids are clever and will question your new found resourcefulness). When used with genuine empathy, I have never known it to fail. Kids just want to be heard, plain and simple – and my big lesson was understanding the tools needed to listen. I needed to be present first and foremost, and let go of the fear of failure.
Now for the hard bit, knowing the tools is one thing, but applying them daily required me as a mother to be conscious of my own parenting and what my triggers were. The question for me was how are those triggers connected to the way I was raised and the expectations others placed on me? In this way I could see my childrens 'difficult behaviour' as the ultimate challenge to my own ego. I looked at them and suddenly I could see a mirror – it was my behaviour that was to dictate what their response might be. This profound revelation gave me the power to transform. I am truly grateful for the chance it has given me to be a better, kinder parent.

3OR-06 Longing...Music of Frederic Chopin
Fragile, sickly, depressed, he left his heart in Poland. Chopin suffered. He embroidered beautiful melodies into poetry of longing.
"As a Chopin player, Nissman knows her own mind. She imitates nobody… she wants to let Chopin's music speak for itself…for a view of Chopin the classicist, the man who studied Bach, Nissman's quite persuasive."
"To have that rarity today of fine Chopin playing is recommendation in itself. Add to that an innovative interpretation from a deep thinking pianist and you have a real gem."

The Saint Louis Art Museum opened its newest exhibition, "Graphic Revolution: American Prints 1960 to Now," on Nov. 11 as a broad survey of art by contemporary artists designed by co-curators Elizabeth Wyckoff and Gretchen Wagner over the course of three years.
Wyckoff stated that one purpose of the exhibition is to demonstrate how well SLAM has collected contemporary prints from the 1960s until now. The museum acquired new works in the process of designing the exhibition, including Hock E Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds' multi-part monotype, Sovereign. "Collectively, the works display not only the historical collecting in the St. Louis community, but also the idea that the museum and the community continue collecting into the future," Wyckoff said.
The exhibition is organized thematically rather than chronologically, allowing for dialogue between generations. It tells a story that is inclusive and broad, examining multi-faceted topics such as cultural, political, and national identity. The show challenges the traditional definition of a print by displaying different formats including printmaking, sculpture, woodcuts, lithographs, screen prints, and etchings.
Wyckoff looks to "Graphic Revolution" to expand viewers' concept of a print. "Part of the idea of putting the exhibition together is to reveal that a print isn't simply a flat object on the wall," she said. The exhibition is on display at SLAM until Feb. 13, 2019.

Essay on My Favorite Poet (650 Words)
Last updated on June 10th, 2019 - Leave a comment
I am a great admirer of Iqbal. He was not only a great poet but also a great philosopher. He is commonly known as the greatest philosopher-poet of Asia. As a matter of fact, he deserves this title.
Iqbal was born at Sialkot at the end of the 19th century and received his early education in his native town. After passing his Intermediate examination from Murray College, Sialkot, he came to join the Government College, at Lahore. He took his M.A. in Philosophy with distinction and joined the Government College staff. Soon he went to England where he studied the law. When he came back, he settled down in Lahore as a practicing lawyer. But he never felt keenly eager for this profession as he had a higher calling before him.
At this time his first book, 'Bang-i-Dara' appeared. It contained some poems of his early youth. These poems were quite different in the matter and tone from the poems that were popular in his days. There were also many poems in this collection which gave expression to his patriotic feelings. At the time when these poems were written, there was a great movement in India for an inter-communal unity. Iqbal was also much impressed by this movement. But soon he realized that narrow nationalism was against the teachings which do not believe in territorial loyalties of Islam lubes, and whose message is for all the people of all the countries of the world. This brought a great change in his views and the same Iqbal who once sang praises for the Himalayas and the Ganges became a poet of international ideals.
After "Bang-i-Dara', Iqbal wrote mostly in Persian and his later works contain mostly his Persian poems. But soon he realized that the common man in India- could not understand Persian. Therefore, once again, he began to write in Urdu. His Urdu works that followed Bang-i-Dara are comparatively difficult in expression and thought. These books set a new standard of literary excellence which none could match. All those who tried to imitate his style failed, and Iqbal is still matchless.
What attracts me most towards Iqbal and his poetry is the message of life that is conveyed by his poems. When he began to write poetry, Islam was passing through a critical phase. In India, the Muslims were being rapidly dominated by the Hindus. He foresaw their downfall and warned them against the consequences The Muslims, in other parts of the world, to were in no better condition. Turkey, Egypt, Persia and Afghanistan, all were Muslim states only in name.
Their politics, their economy, their education, and above all, their religious ideas were being influenced by the thoughts prevailing in the West. He foresaw all these things like a clear-sighted prophet and warned the people against the cultural suicide which they were unknowingly committing. He called the Muslim youth back to the Holy Quran and Hadith and placed before them the Islamic philosophy. Iqbal was the first man who visualized Pakistan, and in his presidential address at the All – India Muslim League Conference at Allahabad, in 1930, he clearly pointed out to the partition of India. His poems too expressed this idea in a very forceful manner. He gave a new life to the youth of his nation. He looked forward to a new age of freedom and achievement.
Iqbal was not only a great poet but also a great leader of thought. He placed before the people his philosophy of self-realization, which means the realization of the capacities of one' s soul. His poetry is full of force and confidence. It inspires us to life of struggle against the forces of evil. He is our national hero and that is, indeed, a very great honour for a poet. To a Pakistani, he is as great a poet as Shakespeare to an Englishman.


Granite Countertops in MarylandGranite's unique and complex structure makes it a poster-child for durability. As the second hardest material on earth landing just short of diamond, granite surfaces last a lifetime. When properly sealed, granite countertops hold up to the highest temperatures, resist staining and scratching, and keep their shine and richness for years to come.
4. Natural, unique and timeless beauty.
That pretty much says it all. Granite's popularity may be on the rise, but installing a granite countertop means you will always have a one-of-a-kind surface. Because granite is a natural stone, no two pieces are identical. Granite comes in thousands of shades, colors, and patterns, meaning you are bound to find one to match your taste.
3. Granite won't go out of style.
Granite has been around for centuries, and won't disappear anytime soon. Its numerous desirable qualities – durability, beauty and value – make it a top choice in households today, and will for years to come. While other countertop materials experience peaks in popularity followed by drifting interest, granite's track record for remaining at the top of the market makes it a great choice.
Kitchens are often high-traffic areas, so it's important to choose a countertop material that is able to withstand the use. Granite is nearly impossible to crack or break, and tolerates high activity without requiring much maintenance at all. A little soap and water, along with regular sealing keep granite countertops looking great.
1. Granite increases home value.
Whether you are installing granite countertops in a new home or replacing existing countertops in preparation for a home's sale, granite countertops often increase a home's value. Those on the hunt for a new house often look at the kitchen and adjacent family room spaces first, as those areas generally serve as the main living and entertaining areas. And a kitchen furnished with stunning granite countertops is a huge draw. When dealing with such a significant selling point, installing the right material can make all the difference.

Parents liable
By Joel Escovilla on July 9, 2020
Minors also included in ordinance penalizing non-wearing of masks
The City Council puts some teeth into the health guideline on the mandatory wearing of face masks in public places. On Tuesday, lawmakers have passed an ordinance imposing a fine or imprisonment on offenders. BING GONZALES
PARENTS and guardians of minors caught not wearing their face masks while out on the street will not escape the corresponding fine.
On July 7, the 19th City Council passed an ordinance, authored by Councilor Myrna Dalodo-Ortiz, under suspended rules imposing a penalty on the failure to wear face masks in public places and establishments.
The legislation originally slapped a P1,000 fine for the first offense, P2,000 for the second offense, and P5,000 or one-month imprisonment for the succeeding offenses.
First, Councilor Diosdado Angelo Mahipus Jr. raised the permissibility of passing the ordinance under suspended rules considering the penal provisions.
"This item is not just a declaratory resolution or ordinance. This is an ordinance penal in nature," he said.
"I do not think it is proper for an ordinance that is penal in character to be passed under suspended rules because I remember somewhere in the Local Government Code, it states therein that an ordinance which is penal in nature requires a public hearing."
But Councilor Danilo Dayanghirang said that holding a public hearing will take time, which goes against the purpose of the ordinance.
In addition to the endorsement from the City Mayor's Office, he said, the City Legal Office already issued a legal opinion finding no flaws in the proposal.
"It is not anymore necessary to conduct a public hearing. We are just requiring the people to wear a face mask. Our situation is abnormal and we need to act on this," Dayanghirang said, adding that some Davaoeños have become complacent knowing they would not suffer the consequences of failing to wear a covering on their faces.
The City Legal Office sent an opinion dated July 7, 2020, finding no legal infirmity on the ordinance, including the penalties.
"It is our view that the measure is in tuned with the existing national issuances and guidelines and can be validly passed by the city council to effectively address the COVID-19 pandemic," the legal opinion stated.
Parents held liable
Mahipus later threw his support for the ordinance but suggested that parents and guardians should be responsible for their underage children. He was reacting to the remark made by Councilor Conrado Baluran who noticed minors not wearing their masks while gathering in groups inside private subdivisions.
"There is a requirement that minors should not go out," he said. "We put a provision there that minors who go out and do not wear masks, the guardians and parents of minors who are out on the streets and not wearing masks can be the subject of penalties."
Mahipus also said that the ordinance should penalize the improper wearing of the face mask other than the failure to wear one.
No-contest clause
He also suggested amending the ordinance to insert a no-contest clause. An individual who is caught violating the law can opt to pay the administrative fine rather than allowing the matter to be elevated to the courts.
With the no-contest provision, offenders will simply pay the corresponding fine to the City Treasurer's Office and remove their liability in the ordinance instead of adjudicating the case.
Councilor Principe Antoinette Principe, meanwhile, added that that fine of P1,000 for the first offense is too steep.
"Although we should already be cognizant of our responsibility to wear a mask and wear it in public, there are far-flung barangays who have no easy access to masks and they are not aware that there is a penal clause," she said.
Principe also suggested ordering first-time offenders to render community service instead.
Fine reduced
The ordinance was in danger of being deferred to the next session on July 14, but the author of the ordinance stood her ground. She said that community service will involve a lot of moving parts and imposing a fine would be much easier.
"We all considered this as an urgent matter because of this COVID-19 pandemic," Ortiz said. "As explained by the chief executive in her radio program, there is already an executive order to this effect. But the chief executive is asking that we will add a penal provision to Executive Order 33-A to give teeth to this executive order."
It is the reason why she asked permission from Vice Mayor Sebastian Duterte to introduce the proposal on suspended rules.
The proponent of the ordinance agreed to carry the amendment, particularly on the fine for the first offense. In the end, the lawmakers approved the final legislation that reduced the fine for the first offense to P500, which serves as the administrative fee. The penalties for the second and third offenses remained undisturbed.

Q: Как я могу объеденить в один datagrid данные с двух и больше таблиц? Я работаю на visual studio, C#, WPF, БД на SQL.
У меня есть datagrid и одна большая проблема. Мне нужно вывести в datagrid данные из нескольких таблиц. В первом datagrid у меня 4 поля, первое счетчик, второе intовое в нем я пишу номер кабинета и третье с четвертым полем - там лежат intы, айди от других таблиц, которые я привязал через схему к этой таблице. К третьему столбцу идёт ключ, который связана с таблицей, где содержится информация о сотрудниках, а именно их ФИО и тд. К четвертому столбцу идёт ключ от таблицы, где содержится информация о об оборудовании ( оно комплектами идёт. Счетчик, название комплекта и его состав, который в свою очередь состоит из кучи других ключей уже подключенных к нему, а те ведут к таблицам с мышками, клавой и прочим) Мне нужно сделать так, чтоб в datagrid выводилось следующее: Номер кабинета, ФИО пользователя (можно только фамилию), и краткая информация о технике, что есть в комплекте, если он подключен. Самая большая проблема в том, что я могу через join объединить, но тогда с редактированием будут проблемы, эта функция не получается, поэтому я пока остановился на следующем:
Сделал так, что можно редактировать, удалять, обновлять строки datagrid, но в него выводится пока только информация о номере кабинета и айдишниках ключей, которые подключены ( не знаю как переделать на нужные мне поля). Подскажите, как реализовать, чтоб была возможность выполнять функции редактирования, удаления  и т.д.
Вот C# код страницы, где лежит datagrid.

Residents Of Tampa Bay Area Should Pass On Subsidizing New Rays Stadium
Adam Millsap Contributor
I write about state and local policy and urban economics.
taxpayer subsidies for sports stadiums are generally a bad deal for taxpayers
If Rays ownership wants a new stadium then it should be up to them to find a way to pay for it.
Rays players
https://pixabay.com/
Last week, Major League Baseball's (MLB) Tampa Bay Rays revealed plans for a new ballpark in the Ybor City neighborhood of Tampa. The proposed ballpark has roughly 28,000 seats, a translucent roof, and an $892 million price tag. The Rays owner has suggested that the team will kick in $150 to $400 million, but that still leaves more than half the cost to corporate sponsorships, taxpayers, or other funding sources. Tampa Bay area taxpayers would be wise not to pick up the difference.
The Rays currently play in Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, just across the bay from Tampa. Tropicana field was completed in 1990 and was built in order to attract a professional baseball team. The plan finally worked when the newly created Tampa Bay Rays began playing there in 1998.
Now—in what's become standard procedure for professional sports teams these days—the Rays want a new ballpark to help boost attendance and revenue. The team routinely ranks at the bottom of all MLB teams in total attendance, finishing 30th out of 30 from 2012 to 2017. Since 2001 they have never finished higher than 22nd, with the best years being the two following their World Series appearance in 2008. The figure below displays average home game attendance and average attendance as a percentage of stadium capacity since 2001.
Rays attendance
author's figure
Tropicana field is MLB's smallest stadium, which has something to do with the Rays' low ranking in total attendance. But as the graph shows, they regularly fail to fill even half of the stadium's 34,000 seats. For the fourth year in a row average attendance is below 50% of capacity.
With attendance like this, it's no surprise that the proposed stadium is even smaller. Some are trying to sell the new stadium idea by calling it baseball's most "intimate," but the fact is the team can't get people in the seats and they know it, hence the downsizing.
To make matters worse, MLB attendance is struggling overall. There have been several explanations for the decline in attendance—unusually bad weather, too many strikeouts, a perceived lack of competitive balance—but no one knows exactly why it's occurring. This is bad news for any team looking to improve attendance and their bottom line. The drop in MLB attendance also makes it less likely that a new stadium is going to turn things around for the Rays.
Considering the Rays' attendance struggles and those of MLB in general, there doesn't appear to be a compelling reason for taxpayers or local businesses to invest in a new stadium. In fact, even in the best of times, taxpayer subsidies for sports stadiums are generally a bad deal for taxpayers . Researchers Michael Farren and Anne Philpot note that:
In spite of the accelerating trend in stadium subsidies, and the support offered for them by private consultants, city officials, and sports fans, the body of academic literature consistently finds they have little to no economic impact. Nor do stadium subsidies pay for themselves via increased tax revenues.
When it comes to stadiums, city officials and taxpayers need to remember that they take up a lot of space that could be used for other, more productive things. The widespread belief that sports stadiums help the local economy is based on an old economic fallacy: Focusing on what we can see rather than on what could have been.
It's easy to see the people who attend the games and nearby restaurants and bars during the season. But what could have existed had the stadium never been built? Perhaps a corporate headquarters, new walkable mixed-use development, a park, or something else dreamed up by some aspiring entrepreneur.
While sports teams aren't necessarily bad for the economy, they aren't necessarily good either, and like other businesses they should be required to pay their own way.
Furthermore, the Tampa-St. Petersburg metro area is already doing pretty well and probably doesn't need a baseball team to thrive. As the table below shows, in terms of average employee total compensation growth, private-sector employment growth, and population growth, the area is doing just as well as the other large metro areas in Florida.
MSA growth
Author's figure. Data from BEA
In fact, of the four metro areas, Orlando is growing the fastest and has just one professional sports team in the big four sports (baseball, football, basketball and hockey)—the NBA's Orlando Magic—while Tampa-St. Petersburg currently has three and Miami has four.
In general, there's no evidence that cities need sports teams to thrive—especially sports teams that are struggling. If Rays ownership wants a new stadium then it should be up to them to find a way to pay for it. Tampa officials and residents, along with taxpayers in surrounding Hillsborough County, should resist the Rays overtures.

Dave Martin, Founder Of The Martin Agency
Posted on October 4, 2012 by barrett
As a young copywriter, I was lucky to fall in with a good crowd: The Martin Agency, founded by Dave Martin in 1965.
Dave passed away Tuesday. I didn't know him well, other than he was a gentleman, a good father, humble and respected by all.
But I want to share some observations about how he set his small ad agency in Richmond, Virginia, on a course to become one of the world's greats. (You know their work for Geico, Walmart, Discover Card, FreeCreditReport.com and the "What Can Brown Do For You Campaign" for UPS.)
I was hired as a rookie copywriter at The Martin Agency a few years after college, just before Christmas 1981. It felt like the big time, though the agency only had about 25 employees.
But to this rookie, they were all great teachers. They taught the agency's values, through words and deeds.
The work – all the work – had to be compelling.
Every agency is proud of certain work that hangs on the walls. The Martin Agency staff was proud of the work they produced every week. It made the place seem bigger, and the work more important.
Here's a quote from John Adams, now The Martin Agency's CEO, and an account supervisor in the early 80s:
"[Dave Martin] was devoted to the belief in his business that the fastest way, the best way, to succeed for clients was to develop advertising that hadn't been seen before, that was different, that was striking, that was compelling, that was very creative."
Dave was an accomplished creative, but he focused on business development.
He hired Harry Jacobs and Mike Hughes to run the creative department. Great creative was their mission in life. They wanted to prove that Richmond could produce work that was as good or better than work from New York agencies. The staff followed suit. There were no excuses, no "we did the best with what we had" mentality.
Mike told me when I was hired that at The Martin Agency, no job was small. There were small ads, small pieces of collateral, clients with small budgets, but no small jobs.
To prove the point, my first assignment was a "tent card" for an historical attraction, Tryon Palace. I lost my copy of the finished product long ago, but I still have the local Addy award it won. Mike had a point.
The Martin Agency also reflected Dave Martin's old-fashioned Virginia graciousness.
There was none of the excessive ego that was rampant in the industry. It wouldn't have been tolerated. Maybe that's why employees seem to stick around forever. (I'm hoping a few of them who have been there more than 30 years will read this entry.)
In a touchy-feely section of "The E Myth Revisited," Michael Gerber writes about a business really being about love.
The Martin Agency was all about the love of great creative, and the belief that advertising was a great calling. They even loved great creative from other agencies. There was no sniping at competitors, especially local ones. Their love and leadership helped build a creative community, eventually helping to create a leading advertising school, VCU Brandcenter. (Diane Cook-Tench, a Martin alum, was the driving force in its creation.)
From what I've seen, the love is still there, after all these years.
Dave Martin built more than a successful agency.
He promoted a way of working and treating clients that should make everyone in the marketing business proud.
His legacy will last a long time, and impact people far beyond his agency's walls.

When our mentors pass, a piece of us is lost, too. I'm an agency brat, too, Barrett, and I know the influence these leaders had on we newbies.
My agency days were fraught with more nightmares in leadership than mentoring, but nonetheless, the cut-throat competitive world taught me well.

"Cut-throat" is a word you could never apply to The Martin Agency over the years. Of course, now it's about 20 times bigger. I get a chance to visit once in a while and still get a nice buzz even just being in their beautiful building.

Great story; sounds like he hired for culture and it made all the difference in the world. If you hire right on the front-end you can move mountains.
Now, exactly how did you get in there anyway?

Good question Bill. It was a rare hiring of a completely inexperienced rookie. I was simply lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time – a Richmond native, when the economy was just starting to pick up under Reagan. Apparently my naive student portfolio was just good enough for Mike, Harry and Dave to think I was worth a shot.

Actually, after leaving Martin, I went to two incredible shops that were similar in nature — in people and purpose. Then I went to San Francisco and learned the meaning of "cutthroat."
Now I hang out with friends in Florida, Chicago, Texas and Pennsylvania on a daily basis. Thank God for the Internet.

Cool story! Our first jobs in the career…. The formative years are so important, aren't they? I look back on mine fondly and appreciate the opportunities I was given. I'm still in touch with the CEO, in fact.
Also, we chose the same blog theme. 🙂

It was dumb luck for me to get a first job with such a great organization, and great people. It could just as easily have been with (1) a company that made a lot of money but did bad work (there were a lot back then) (2) a company that did good work with people who weren't so patient and giving or (3) good people who let a gap develop between what they knew to be good and what they actually produced.
I really lucked into the best of all worlds.

Barrett, Great post. We already had a nice chat about the Martin agency over on Spin Sucks, but I've always been impressed with their culture and work. This industry is a bit of a second career for me, but those early lessons definitely impact how I approach my work now.

Kat, I've never seen the Spin Sucks piece! [Note: http://spinsucks.com ]
So send it along!
The culture at Martin is hard to beat. While I always think of Mike Hughes and Harry Jacobs when I think of The Martin Agency culture, the one who allowed them to create that environment was Dave Martin.

Hey Barrett
That sounds like it was a great place to work; a place where newbies were mentored and nurtured.
I remember when I started in the pensions business it was a bit like that but as budgets have been squeezed it tends to now be do as little as possible for as much money as possible!
Tim Bonner recently posted..The New Creative Me
I hear what you're saying; so many companies are so "efficient" these days, there's no room for doing things the right way. They even have an efficient name for it now: "onboarding." The more I think about that word, the worse it sounds.
When I started, I think they looked at student portfolios every so often. Today, I'd think looking at student portfolios is a big part of someone's daily routine.

On November 27, 2015, Health Canada licensed the sale and use of a new anti-HIV treatment sold under the brand name Genvoya and made by the pharmaceutical company Gilead Sciences. Genvoya is a complete treatment in one pill that comes in the form of green capsule-shaped tablets. The dose of Genvoya used by adults with HIV is one tablet once daily with food. Genvoya was generally well tolerated in clinical trials; general and usually temporary side effects included headache, tiredness or lack of energy, nausea and diarrhea. Genvoya should be available for ordering by pharmacies late in January 2016.
The only new drug listed above is TAF. This is a new formulation of an older drug called tenofovir DF (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate). TAF is meant to eventually replace tenofovir DF. In clinical trials, TAF was found to be safe and generally well tolerated with fewer side effects than tenofovir DF. Further details on side effects appear later in this issue of TreatmentUpdate.
Genvoya is the first pill to be licensed in Canada that contains TAF.
In clinical trials Genvoya users developed small increases in the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in their blood.
Genvoya's safety has not been studied in pregnant women. Gilead Sciences recommends: "Genvoya should not be used in pregnant women unless the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks to the fetus."

Did you pick up that curious line near the end of chapter 7? In case not, here it is.
Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul.
Today, we meet the author of most of the New Testament. He will later use Roman name, Paul, but for today we will call him Saul. This story of Saul may be the most stunning story in all of the New Testament. At least it is the most unlikely.
For all practical purposes, Saul was a young Osama Bin Laden. He lived to destroy the church. Picture him, going from house to house, dragging fathers and mothers away as their children shrieked in tears of terror, never to see them again. Saul was nothing short of a first century religious fundamentalist terrorist. He held the coats of the executioners at the public execution of Stephen. In twenty-first century terms, he might be carrying the suicide vests.
Now, imagine the unimaginable: Osama Bin Laden becomes not only a follower of Jesus, but his number one spokesperson! The New Testament has a technical term for such things: Redonkulous! ;0) I'll save the details for when it happens, but for now it's important for us to get very clear on who Paul used to be. And in his mind, as in the mind of Osama Bin Laden, these heinous acts were nothing less than acts of divine worship.
We need to keep this story fixed in our mind because it reveals the incomprehensible power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ not only to save but to completely transform a human being. True then. True now. This is perhaps the Gospel case study of all case studies.
May the same be said of you and me.
P.S. It's good to be back with you in Acts. Thanks for the break last week. I took my oldest son on a fishing trip for his 14th birthday. I hope you enjoyed CALLED. We've got good work to do together in the days ahead.
