Even though I know the context of this image I still thing the pattern of dancing morning sunlight on the railway bridge wall is deceptive. It looks as though the bridge may be crossing water, but in reality it is a pattern created by the shadows of tree branches next to the bridge and the relief texture of the stones with which it is built.
Nearing the end of my short street walk this week I was considering how useful a camera can be in helping to pick out aspects of an environment. Without peripheral vision plus the ability to select a point of focus it is possible to present reality as abstract. I have not taken todays photos that far and the subjects of all these images are identifiable, but seeing it as it is does not necessarily mean there is an understandable context.
If you have seen my previous posts this week you will know that the context is a city centre street along which I have been walking, looking and listening to my surroundings. But taking the images of today’s post on their own, there is a great deal of contextual information they do not give. This means the photos almost force you to consider their more abstract elements and forget about the street or town they may be in – peeling paint, the pattern of broken glass, marks on a road surface and lines in a wall.
The penultimate photo below is in a specify location in a specific town / city. It can only be one particular place but at the same time it could be anywhere. I like the vertical columns in the background set behind the horizontal pattern of parked cars but wanted to bring some more attention to them give the image a little more individuality. So with a monochrome conversion, a little digital manipulation and a tighter crop . . .
If viewing this in an email, please click the post title to see other photos in this post, thank you.
The starting point for a recent walk around Cardiff Bay can be seen below in some of the angular architecture of the area. The architecture may be one of the things that Cardiff Bay is known for but my walk this week, which took us across the barrage, will be taking an alternative look at the area and some of the features that caught my attention.
The materials of the building in the background of the second photo prove it to be the same one as is in the first shot. You may be able to tell that the first image was taken at a different time to the second as is shown by the change in weather. It’s the bird I particularly like in this photo, and the red triangle of the footbridge in the second one, or perhaps I should say the context of these elements of the images.
Looking at the photos in this week’s morning walk posts, I note the haze as well as the morning sunlight. Yet again in this shot, you cannot see anything of the Gower Peninsula in the background. Taken at the end of the first week of September, perhaps we were due for some rain at the time, just to clear the air a bit.
The context may be the landscape but the subject is . . .
I have taken a couple of other photos of this shed but as its red tin roof stood out amongst the trees as seen from Goppa hill (yes, next to the mobile phone mast! – see previous posts), I found this less obvious shot the more pleasing one.

11.10.10 The 9th Annual Wild & Scenic Environmental Film Festival has chosen On the trail as an official selection to be screened in Nevada City, California, January 14-16, 2011. Wild & Scenic has become the largest and most energized environmental film festival in the United States. I will be attending and hopefully so will Miss Snail Pail (artist Colleen Flanigan).
12.31.09 The Denver Post review of the 4th Annual Colorado Environmental Film Festival, "Enviro film festival in Golden CO has beguiling, humorous sides," mentions "On the Trail" for its light-hearted approach to a serious topic. Here is what film critic Lisa Kennedy said:
A woman chasing down the common backyard snail is not a feat of speed. But Greg Young's 12-minute "On the Trail With Miss Snail Pail" is intriguing just the same. "No, no, keep them alive," snail-abatement specialist and artist Colleen Flanigan — a.k.a. Miss Snail Pail — tells a potential client over the phone. "Because I'm going to eat them." The film has surreally lovely images of Flanigan's "micro-livestock."

9.28.09 We just got back from the Modesto Reel Food Film Festival. What a wonderful event and turnout. Live entertainment, splendid deserts filling the lobby and even into the theater, fine films, and enthusiastic audience made a wonderful gathering.
The 250 plus audience received "On the trail" with a warm response. I would highly recommend everyone to attend this one day festival next year. Festival directors Randy Siefkin, Bob Barzan, and Sue Richardson did a bang-up job.
Colleen (Miss Snail Pail) is the featured member for Sept-Oct of ASCI (art and Science Collaborations, Inc). Take a look at Colleen's latest work and her ongoing projects, including the "Bio-rocker" a steel sculpture constructed at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry which she hopes to sink to the ocean floor so that it may become a living sea sculpture thriving with fish.
9.8.09 "On the trail with miss snail pail" is going to be screened at two upcoming festivals. The 4th Annual Colorado Environmental Film Festival will screen On the trail November 5-7, 2009 in Golden, Colorado, and the Modesto Reel Food Film Festival with eight other films on September 28, 2009.
Environmental and food issues are closely aligned and have become very political lately, especially food. Miss Snail Pail gently comments to a different way of thinking about food production for the decades ahead. We are making arrangements to attend both festivals.
9.27.08 This latest news has been neglected for some time. However, with the completion of "On the trail with Miss Snail Pail." it is about time for a little update. For more of what has been going on at Golden Bear Casting, check out the latest news for "Still Kicking."
On the trail was just completed, actually, it will be a work in progress until I can’t bare to look at it again, then it will be complete. Although a director's statement isn't posted yet, here is the short synopsis:
A documentary short about Colleen Flanigan, aka Miss Snail Pail, who has developed a career path that allows her to combine her artistic talents, stroll beautiful gardens, and put food on the table. Colleen is a snail abatement specialist and is passionate about our planet's future. The film follows Colleen as she gathers, grinds, cooks, and creates, and in the process we gain respect for the small gastropod, the woman who puts them in her pail, and alternative food sources.
More about On the trail and Miss Snail Pail later. Please keep checking back as this site continues to develop.

Still Kicking has been chosen as an official selection
of the 7th Annual Port
Townsend Film Festival, September 15-17. It will be paired
with a film called EMMA, about at 14-year-old bright, but
troubled girl who begins to see her way into adulthood.
A screening for Still Kicking on the Monterey Peninsula
is scheduled for September 27, 6:30 pm at the Sally
Griffin Active Living Center, Pacific Grove. This special
event is part of the "Art Knows No Age" series.
Local guest artists will also present "Creating in the
second half of life." An additional screening has been
added: Wednesday, October 11 -- Carmel
Foundation, Carmel, 2:30 pm.
Kicking has been selected for the
Annual Real to Reel Film Festival, Kings Mountain, NC,
"Creative Aging" screening is set for September 17 at the
Berkeley-Richmond Jewish Community
Center. In addition to recently released "Still Kicking,"
two other films will be shown. "Let's
Face It," a funny and poignant discussion among a group
of friends, ages 45 to 60, about aging, and "A
Specially Wonderful Affair," a wonderful film by Nathan
Friedkin about old people in a nursing home writing songs
with musician Judith-Kate Friedman. Both have screened at
numerous film festivals the last couple of years.
Filming has begun on a character based documentary with a
long shooting schedule; two plus years. The principle character
wants to keep the project under wraps for now, but I can say
lots of toe tapping music is planned. Another short documentary
(10-15 min.) will start production soon. More on that one
Kicking, six artistic women of Project Arts & Longevity
was completed in early March. Amy Gorman and I visited some
of the women to show them the film. You can get updates on
all the women in still kicking's latest
news. The two minute trailer can be viewed
Gorman's book, Aging Artfully, Profiles of Bay Area Women
Artists Over 85, with photos of their lives, will be published
this summer, 2006.The book includes a CD of songs about seven
of the women, by Frances Kandl. For information click
Young retired in 2002 after 27 years as an award winning graphic
designer for the University of California, Berkeley to pursue
his passion for documentary films. His second documentary,
Still Kicking, reflects his interest in character driven
subjects. Shooting hand held allows Young more intimacy with
his subjects, and gives him the ability to be less invasive.
"Right now I enjoy making small canvas documentaries
that reveal human qualities we develop as we get older."
Young lives and edits from his home studio in Pacific Grove,

"Exiles" *** Until this spring, Chicago's Theatre Y focused exclusively on Romanian playwright Andras Visky, with productions of "Juliet: A Dialogue About Love" and "I Killed My Mother," both of which have toured internationally. But the company currently offers an ambitious trilogy of works by three playwrights on the theme of exile, running in repertory through August. I saw two of the plays in "The Exiled Trilogy" - the third, Albert Camus' "The Misunderstanding," joins the mix Tuesday.

The odds that the game would be decided by a Koziol were pretty good. It took both Koziol brothers from Brother Rice to hand unrelated Scott Koziol and his St. Laurence teammates their first Catholic League loss Thursday. Sophomore Ryan Koziol pitched a three-hitter to outduel senior Scott Koziol and combined with senior Kevin Koziol to drive in four runs as Brother Rice defeated No. 2 St. Laurence 5-2 on a windy afternoon on the South Side. "With the wind blowing in the way it was, I tried to pitch to contact and didn't worry about getting strikeouts," said Ryan Koziol, who did not allow an earned run or a walk while striking six to improve to 5-0. "This was a great win for us to beat a good ballclub like St. Laurence."

Kevin Smith has a big mouth, and he knows it. When he got bounced off a Southwest Airlines flight for allegedly being too fat earlier this month, he quickly spread the news, via Twitter, complaining about the unfair treatment he felt that he'd received from the airline. And when the media treated the story as something of a lighthearted farce, the beefy 39-year-old filmmaker was soon loudly assailing the media for its snarky take on the whole event. Smith's propensity to shoot from the hip has also gotten him in hot water in Hollywood.

"Cop Out" is a buddy cop film in which one of the cops continually quotes dialogue espoused by fictional cops, in everything from "Heat" to "RoboCop," and not once is it funny. The film winks at the audience for 110 minutes. Tracy Morgan plays the motor-mouth NYPD detective partner of Bruce Willis. Now: There's no reason these two couldn't headline a perfectly proficient action comedy in the realm of "Beverly Hills Cop" or "48 HRS." or "Lethal Weapon" or "Running Scared" or "Red Heat" or "Freebie and the Bean" or "Tango & Cash" or "Turner & Hooch" or "Pride and Prejudice."

The "too-large-to-fly" debate now has a celebrity face. Filmmaker Kevin Smith, fresh from delivering a speech at the Macworld Expo in San Francisco, unleashed his fury on Southwest Airlines after the pilot on Smith's flight from Oakland to Burbank ejected him for being "too fat to fly" Saturday evening. "I'm way fat, but I'm not there just yet," Smith wrote on his Twitter account after the incident, adding that he was able to lower both armrests at his seat. "I broke no regulation."

At breakfast opinions divide - for some coffee is enough on the way to work, while others do not leave the house without a proper meal. However, it is important to pay attention to what you eat. Many ready-to-eat mueslis can be anything but healthy. Even fast snacks like croissants only satisfy for a short time. It is much better to make your own breakfast. This honey-coconut porridge is prepared in only 25 minutes and can be stored for several days in the fridge.
The porridge is based on oat flakes, a whole grain product with many ballast and mineral substances.
The added coconut milk scores with medium-chain fatty acids, which are quickly digested and converted into energy by the body. Finally, cocoa nibs are sprinkled on the porridge as a healthier alternative to chocolate. By processing them from raw cocoa, they contain even more nutrients, valuable magnesium and calcium.
Recipe step by step
It is important to pay attention to what you eat, so it is best to make your own breakfast. This honey-coconut porridge is prepared in only 25 minutes and can be stored for several days in the fridge. See in this video how easy it is.
20 g honey
400 ml coconut milk
170 g rolled oats
300 ml almond milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground cardamom
170 g rolled oats - 400 ml coconut milk - 300 ml almond milk - 1 tsp vanilla extract - ½ tsp ground cinnamon - ¼ tsp ground cardamom - pot (with lid) - rubber spatula
Add rolled oats, coconut milk, almond milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground cardamom to a pot over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and let cook for approx. 10 min., or until the oats are soft and almost all liquid is absorbed.
100 g cashews - frying pan - spatula
In the meantime, toast cashews in a frying pan until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
20 g honey - rubber spatula
As soon as the porridge is done, remove from heat, add toasted cashews and honey,and stir to combine.


United Arab Emirates (UAE) has formed a committee on Saturday to provide relief assistance to the people affected by landslides and flash floods in Kerala.
According to the sources, the committee will be chaired by the Emirates Red Crescent (ERC) and will include the UAE’s humanitarian organizations representatives.
Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Ruler of the Emirate of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum took to Twitter, where he urged everyone to contribute generously towards this initiative.
“The state of Kerala in India is currently witnessing huge floods, the most devastating in a century. Hundreds have been killed, hundreds of thousands have been displaced. Ahead of Eid Al Adha, do not forget to extend a helping hand to our brothers in India.”
He wrote “The people of Kerala have always been and are still part of our success story in the UAE. We have a special responsibility to help and support those affected, especially during this holy and blessed days” tweeted by him.
He further added, “UAE and the Indian community will unite to offer relief to those affected. We have formed a committee to start immediately. We urge everyone to contribute generously towards this initiative.”
Kerala is witnessing torrential rains since past many days, it had forced the government to open 80 dams to remove excess water, 324 people had lost their lives and more than two lakh people were shifted to relief camps.


Measuring city success
By Jeff Byles
July 14, 2016
We’ve heard about the most livable cities, the best for raising a family, the most affordable for retirement, even the most bikeable (and let’s not forget the coolest). Indeed, amid a global turn to urban living, it has become ever more complex to pinpoint the factors most crucial to creating dynamic, innovative, and inclusive places. What makes a city succeed, and how do we know when it gets there?
One answer may be in how well it deals with shocks and stresses. To address that issue, Arup and the Rockefeller Foundation developed the City Resilience Index. Launched this spring, the first-of-its-kind Index allows cities, policymakers, and stakeholders to assess their capacity to address social, physical, and economic challenges, both long-term and event based. Brian Swett, Arup’s Director of Cities and Sustainable Real Estate in the Americas, spoke from the firm’s Boston office about how the Index can reshape the way we understand urban well-being.
Cities have long been judged by economic and demographic trends, such as population growth, employment data, and crime rates. What makes the City Resilience Index a better measure of success?
The Index makes transparent and explicit something that has implicitly been a definition of success for a city, which is how it responds to shocks and stresses. What are the attributes that allow a city to be robust and then bounce back quickly? Those are really important attributes, especially as cities are urbanizing and coming under greater stresses from population growth, climate change, disease, and terrorism. We now have a framework and a set of measures that guide you through where you stand — and where your opportunities are for improving your resilience profile.
Resilience turns out to have many different aspects: the Index’s 52 indicators include things like robust protective infrastructure, quality healthcare access, and education for all.
Yes, and resilience is an interesting lens, because a lot of the other lenses — like the most livable or the most energy-efficient city — are snapshots of particular issues. And typically those are attributes of a city during a normal or “up” time. Resilience is important because we know it’s not an if but a when for both man-made and natural hazards and stresses. A critical attribute of a city is how it responds for its citizens and its businesses and its stakeholders during those times. Even in terms of economic diversity or the role of stakeholders in civil society, we’re using a different lens to measure how they’re set up to deal with downtimes. We want to show that improving resilience doesn’t happen by luck or just by effective leadership in a time of crisis. There’s a lot that goes into creating a resilient city.
We often talk about resilience in physical terms — a storm-surge barrier or redundant energy infrastructure — but the social dimensions of resilience haven’t been as well articulated. What does the Index reveal about the role of social infrastructure?
One thing the Index makes clear is the importance of community connectivity. Collectively, we’re more resilient than we are individually. For example, you could look at the responses of communities in the aftermath of terrible tragedies, such as the mass shooting in Charleston, South Carolina. I think we saw in Charleston a phenomenally resilient community network. Church groups, the government, social organizations, and others in civil society had built a very strong, interconnected web. The shock of the shooting, which had been intended to create disarray and division, had the exact opposite effect. It brought that community more strongly together. From a resiliency respective, it was completely underappreciated how tightly knit that web had been. If you look at other cities, which may have more challenging resiliency metrics, a single incident can be a flash in a powder keg, with very negative follow-on consequences.
Improving resilience doesn’t happen by luck or just by effective leadership in a time of crisis.
Where do you see the next opportunities for the Index to make real-world impacts?
I think many planners and government officials have understood resiliency but haven’t had a framework to put meat on the bones, so to speak. The Index was designed to do just that. For example, as part of the recent National Disaster Resilience Competition, a request for qualifications from Shelby County, Tennessee, called for a regional resilience plan, in which they explicitly reference Arup and Rockefeller’s city resilience framework as a guide for assessing resilience challenges and opportunities. That’s the first time I had seen a regional government put this framework into practice in the US.
Another place where the rubber hits the road is in funding opportunities. Cities have major capital funding streams every year. When we’re rebuilding fire stations or police stations, or updating a library or building a new school, how are we thinking about opportunities to increase our resilience? There are many ways where the Index can help guide not just forward-looking planning efforts but existing capital investment programs.
If we’re going to have hundreds of millions of more people living in cities over the coming decades, this issue is only going to increase in importance. Cities that take advantage of the opportunity that population and economic growth provides have a chance to reshape how they do business. The Index couldn’t be released at a more opportune time to help direct the massive decisions cities have to make — how they can prioritize, how they can create new social, physical, and economic infrastructure, and how they can establish relationships with their citizens to define success for the next century.

The New Foodie Hangout?
A Hip Cooking School With Chef Cred Opens in DallasBY Brian Walker // 11.30.16
Channel your inner chef at new Design District space The Cookery.
The Cookery's kitchen
To all self-proclaimed chefs or foodies who simply love creating and sampling new fare: The Cookery, an innovative concept from owner and head chef instructor Kelly Huddleston, is opening in the Dallas Design District on Thursday, December 8.
Designed for those of all skill levels, The Cookery features a wide selection of interactive and intimate, dinner-party-style classes that teaches its students how to whip up Thai, Italian, Japanese, and Caribbean dishes, plus pasta making. A weekend brunch course is also in the works.
“I created The Cookery as a place where participants could learn new skills in an entertaining and friendly space,” says Huddleston, who has traveled from Paris to Florence to Thailand perfecting her own culinary resume. She also hopes her students will form connections while crafting dishes together.
Each class is led by a skilled instructor as guests dive into complimentary beverages and appetizers while preparing a three- or four-course dinner, which is later enjoyed family-style.
Among the classes planned this month: “An Elegant Winter Dinner Party” (red wine-braised short ribs and chocolate pots de crème), “Bahn Thai” (pad thai, soups, coconut black rice pudding), and “Farm to Table: Fall” (caramelized kohlrabi with turnip bisque, spiced cinnamon and coco-rubbed pork tenderloin). Call for reservations.
The Cookery, 1130 Dragon St., Suite 180, 469.400.8514.

The workers from the Osasco region who had contact with asbestos at some point in their professional activities now have the assistance of an outpatient clinic at the Incor (Heart Institute), linked to the Clinics Hospital of São Paulo. The attendance will prioritize the victims of Osasco, which for decades has hosted factories such as Eternit and Lonaflex, whose main raw material was the carcinogenic fiber.
The news was given during the first meeting of the 38th Cycle of Debates in Osasco, by the Abrea (Brazilian Association of Asbestos Victims) militant, Fernanda Giannasi, and by the doctor in charge of the occupational health department at the Incor, Ubiratan de Paula Santos.
The relatives who had direct or indirect contact with clothes and other belongings of the workers of those companies can also be attended to, as well as the workers of the companies who used asbestos in any stage of production. For this, people who fit into this profile must seek the Union for more information about registration, which will be done with the Abrea to proceed with the Incor.
The specialized outpatient clinic was possible due to the allocation of R$ 1.6 million fine paid by the Eternit, since the company did not inform the SUS and INSS of their ex-workers who became ill because of asbestos.
Asbestos exposure can lead to a myriad of serious health problems, including asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma, a rare, aggressive and incurable cancer.

For all the Brick à Brack’s Challenges, the winner wins a Lego Minifigure! One for the english-speaking winner and one for the french-speaking winner. The only condition is that there are, at least, two entries.
Yes, this is the challenge. You sure can make a story about someone decorating a tree, or that could only be a small part of a larger animation, but the main goal here is animating a character that decorates a christmas tree. Only the animation of this part matters.
Okay. I have decided to post my current project, Darth Vader Joins The Unstable Side, to do this contest. So the judging will be done on the quality of the animation? I'll try to finish it soon. Best luck to all who enter!

We now have a proper name for what is wrong: Functional Neurological Disorder. It’s not all in my head, I’m not making it up.
FDN is as common as MS and Parkinson’s with similar levels of disability and impairments with quality of life, but they don’t involve the brain. FND with me presents with: weakness, sensory changes, movement disorders, seizures, gait and balance difficulties, chronic pain, sleep disturbances.
To put it bluntly, I’m a mess. But a fixable mess. After giving her the traumatic/stress filled* events I’ve had just in the past 5 years alone, it’s a wonder my body didn’t rebel earlier.
Having to be brutally honest about things goes against how I was raised. It was “If asked, don’t tell”. No joke. To discuss thing that I had kept deliberately buried, had me in tears. Not of shame of what happened, but shame for TELLING someone. Go figure!
*those in the know know what a shit storm it’s been.

Ahead of this year’s graduation, we are catching up with our brilliant trainees – sharing their stories and hearing what they thought about their film-training with See Change Films and Families Forward of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea . This week we meet up with Salima, who is about to graduate from our film-training course with her two daughters Soraya, 11, and Kiera, 7.
For Salima, one of the most important aspects of the filmmaking experience has been the feeling of being able to create something original, as well as getting to spend time with her daughters outside the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
I think we took part in the See Change Films and Families Forward's training course for quite different reasons than many other families. My children have always been quite level-headed. It’s me who has been suffering from a sense of lack of purpose, and an inability to see things through - issues that are linked to my mental health problems.
What felt so good and different about this programme was that no one was trying to tell me how to be a better parent - it was just about me and the girls learning a new skill and enjoying some quality time together. This was a different approach to activities I’ve done with charities in the past, when I’ve been trying to resolve my anxieties around parenting.
I’ve been given a new sense of clarity from working with the See Change and Families Forward team, both inside my head, clarity for my ideas, and clarity around the film I wanted to make.
The team has shown amazing patience and support. It’s been a massive thing for me to start and complete a project like this. It is thanks to them I am now about to finish a short documentary with my daughters. It feels wonderful to have created something like this film; I have been able to voice my ideas and thoughts.
I wanted my daughters to explore who their role models are. Soraya, my eldest, is becoming a teenager and going through a transition period. I wanted to show her that there are so many different ways to be a woman, and that there are so many women doing wonderful things out there - you won’t necessarily see that in media, in literature or in music.
It is important that young girls can also see different kind of women celebrated as role models. For the film, I decided to focus on three women who are at very different stages in their lives, but have all had very colourful, interesting journeys and share many positive qualities that I’d like to see my daughters aspire to. I interviewed my daughters’ paternal grandmother and a young woman doing her PhD in genetics, and Soraya chose her primary school teacher as the third interviewee.
I hope that my children can look back fondly on this film and think carefully about who they nominated as their role model and why. Moreover, I hope that all young girls - and anyone who sees this film - can revise and change their perceptions of what women can and should be.
I have seen a different side to my daughters through the experience of filmmaking. I was surprised by how mature and interesting the ideas were that they offered, and they enjoyed the process so much. It made me very proud. I feel we have created a lifelong memory together.
There are so many stories I want to tell in my head - I just need to make them reality. When I was younger, I wanted to become a film director, and now I’ve got my taste for filmmaking back.

Camryn Harris, a talented frisky dancer, is undoubtedly one of the personalities attempting to make a name for herself in the industry.
Through her intriguing exploits, the young dancer has successfully made a name for herself in the industry. Camryn rose to prominence after appearing as a contestant on the reality show Bring It. Dancing had become a part of her life by the age of ten.
She has now blossomed as a passionate dancer, reaching the pinnacle of success. She has won many hearts with her skill and talent.
Camryn Harris: Bio and Age
Camryn, who was born in the year 2000, celebrates her birthday every year on September 25th. Her parents, Mimi and Calvin Harris, raised her in Mississippi.
Calvin Harris, her father’s name, may sound familiar to fans of the singer Calvin Harris, but he is not the same person. Mimi, her mother, was a cheerleader, but her parents divorced when she was young.
Camryn’s parents remained friends and supported their children even after their divorce. Camryn was drawn to dancing at a young age and fell in love with the freedom and expression it provided her.
As a result, Camryn joined the Dancing Dolls team when she was ten years old. Camryn studies at Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Profession and Net Worth
Camryn turned her childhood passion for dancing into a career. Because she was already a member of the Dancing Dolls, her performance earned her a promotion to Co-captain.
Camryn competed for the Captain’s position in 2015 against former teammate Tamia Whittaker. She undoubtedly silenced everyone who ever questioned her ability to dance, securing her position as captain.
Camryn was even given a spot in the Dance Department at the Academic and Performing Arts Complex because of her talent. Camryn is currently an honor roll student and a contestant on the Lifetime reality show Bring It.
Camryn earns an average of $33K as a dancer. However, she has not provided a detailed breakdown of her net worth. However, given Camryn’s positive career outlook, it is expected that her financial fortune will rise in tandem with her career advancement.
Relationship Status: Single?
Camryn is an extremely talented and lively young lady who is also physically and aesthetically appealing. Camryn’s features could have piqued the interest of many men. Her love life is unknown, but rumors of her dating her boyfriend Kinley are widespread. Except for the story, little is known.
Camryn, as a private person, may be keeping her mystery love life a secret. She might feel comfortable sharing it with her fan base one day. Until then, the only option is patience.

Ezekiel 18:1-4 (Listen)
<< Ezekiel 17 | Ezekiel 18 | Ezekiel 19 >>
The Soul Who Sins Shall Die
18:1 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “What do you  mean by repeating this proverb concerning the land of Israel, ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge’? 3 As I live, declares the Lord God, this proverb shall no more be used by you in Israel. 4 Behold, all souls are mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins shall die.
Ezekiel 18:25-32 (Listen)
<< Ezekiel 17 | Ezekiel 18 | Ezekiel 19 >>
25 “Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ Hear now, O house of Israel: Is my way not just? Is it not your ways that are not just? 26 When a righteous person turns away from his righteousness and does injustice, he shall die for it; for the injustice that he has done he shall die. 27 Again, when a wicked person turns away from the wickedness he has committed and does what is just and right, he shall save his life. 28 Because he considered and turned away from all the transgressions that he had committed, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 29 Yet the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ O house of Israel, are my ways not just? Is it not your ways that are not just?
30 “Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, declares the Lord God. Repent and turn from all your transgressions, lest iniquity be your ruin.  31 Cast away from you all the transgressions that you have committed, and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! Why will you die, O house of Israel? 32 For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Lord God; so turn, and live.”
Philippians 2:1-4 (Listen)
<< Philippians 1 | Philippians 2 | Philippians 3 >>
Christ's Example of Humility
2:1 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
Philippians 2:5-4:23 (Listen)
<< Philippians 1 | Philippians 2-4 | Colossians 1 >>
5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,  6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant,  being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Lights in the World
12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
14 Do all things without grumbling or questioning, 15 that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16 holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. 17 Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. 18 Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me.
Timothy and Epaphroditus
19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be cheered by news of you. 20 For I have no one like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare. 21 For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. 22 But you know Timothy's  proven worth, how as a son  with a father he has served with me in the gospel. 23 I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me, 24 and I trust in the Lord that shortly I myself will come also.
25 I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need, 26 for he has been longing for you all and has been distressed because you heard that he was ill. 27 Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. 28 I am the more eager to send him, therefore, that you may rejoice at seeing him again, and that I may be less anxious. 29 So receive him in the Lord with all joy, and honor such men, 30 for he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was lacking in your service to me.
Righteousness Through Faith in Christ
3:1 Finally, my brothers,  rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you.
2 Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh. 3 For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God  and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh— 4 though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; 6 as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law,  blameless. 7 But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— 10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.
Straining Toward the Goal
12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. 13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you. 16 Only let us hold true to what we have attained.
17 Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us. 18 For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things. 20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
4:1 Therefore, my brothers,  whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved.
Exhortation, Encouragement, and Prayer
2 I entreat Euodia and I entreat Syntyche to agree in the Lord. 3 Yes, I ask you also, true companion,  help these women, who have labored side by side with me in the gospel together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9 What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
10 I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. 11 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. 12 I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. 13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
14 Yet it was kind of you to share  my trouble. 15 And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving, except you only. 16 Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once and again. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit.  18 I have received full payment, and more. I am well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. 19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20 To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you. 22 All the saints greet you, especially those of Caesar's household.
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

The Authority of Jesus Challenged
23 And when he entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?” 24 Jesus answered them, “I also will ask you one question, and if you tell me the answer, then I also will tell you by what authority I do these things. 25 The baptism of John, from where did it come? From heaven or from man?” And they discussed it among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say to us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ 26 But if we say, ‘From man,’ we are afraid of the crowd, for they all hold that John was a prophet.” 27 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And he said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

<< Matthew 20 | Matthew 21 | Matthew 22 >>
The Parable of the Two Sons
28 “What do you think? A man had two sons. And he went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’ 29 And he answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind and went. 30 And he went to the other son and said the same. And he answered, ‘I go, sir,’ but did not go. 31 Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes go into the kingdom of God before you. 32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. And even when you saw it, you did not afterward change your minds and believe him.

British Eventing (BE) will bring in a major whip rule change next season, and a horse welfare panel will be formed to make recommendations that could come into effect from 2024.
The news broke at the organisation’s 2022 AGM held virtually last night (8 December).
BE chief executive Helen West told the meeting that from 2023, BE “will now insist” on only padded whips being carried for the jumping phases. This follows British racing, which has used padded whips only since 2004 in jump racing and 2007 on the Flat, and British Showjumping (BS), which changed its rules in 2020.
H&H has contacted BE to ask for further details about the rule, including any specific requirements that padded whips must meet.
Ms West added that the sport’s horse welfare panel will be “looking at a range of issues in 2023 and making recommendations for implementation in 2024”.
“Horse welfare is something that BE taken extremely seriously,” said Ms West, detailing many ways BE focuses on this area, from research to ground care, standards of emergency care providers and more.
“Although the horse-human partnership is an ancient one, for it to thrive long-term, equestrianism needs to ensure it continues to have the approval and acceptance of wider society.
“When an activity does have society’s approval or acceptance. It’s said to have a social licence to operate. The equestrian world needs to maintain and strengthen its social licence for it to have a future.
“This means the welfare of the horse must be put first – and seen to be put first all of the time — and it’s the responsibility of everyone who is involved with horses to demonstrate this.”
After the AGM, Eventing Riders Association president Bruce Haskell told H&H the padded whip decision was initiated by Ms West, and discussed and approved this year as “the right move” to step in line with BS.
Explaining how the welfare panel came about, he added: “As the evolution of the influence of social licence has come across this year, we’ve had a rider-led initiative where riders have asked BE for the formation of a welfare and ethics working group.”
That panel will include riders from grassroots to elite level, ensuring they are directly involved in helping make “best practice” changes. The priority is, as always, to have the horse front and centre of any decisions and that it is crystal clear when talking about “social licence”, that this is about the horse first and foremost.
“We believe that if we are involved in the conversation early, and we are part of the process of cultural change, we can then influence international eventing, rather than have change dictated to us by people who don’t understand the sport,” said Mr Haskell.
“This cannot be a marketing exercise. This has to be a complete examination of our best practice with the horse at the central point.”
He added that the intention is to drive a cultural change within eventing, which does not just focus on the whip. Rather it starts a bigger change that will influence training and development of horses and riders for generations to come.
“It has to be a process,” he said. “An internal review of our best practices is better than an external agency enforcing that on us.”
‘Not a simple beast’
The final 2023 fixtures calendar will be released on Monday (12 December), following a revamp of the allocation process (news, 27 October).
“The fixtures are not a simple beast,” said Ms West, adding that BE has looked at the geographic spread and listened to member feedback. “We are acutely aware that some areas have lost BE events. Adding new fixtures to the calendar is a delicate balance and requires us to work collaboratively with existing organisers.”
This 2023 affiliation agreement adds time restrictions to when BE organisers can run unaffiliated events (news, 3 November) – and it transpires that any organiser wishing to host international classes may not run fully fledged unaffiliated fixtures. Instead of unaffiliated, they are being asked to run “Go BE” fixtures instead. These fall under the BE umbrella, providing on-the-day scoring, and rosettes and prizes in kind can be offered, but results do not go on the official BE record, there is no prize money and they cannot count towards minimum eligibility requirements. But the possibility of expanding Go BE in future was hinted at.
“We have a big challenge obviously from [the] unaffiliated [market],” said BE chairman Mark Sartori.
“As far as I’m concerned, we are the national governing body and it’s our job as the board to ensure the future of the sport in the country and the right governance. We’ve made a lot of mistakes in the past. But the crown jewels of our events are [the] international. So the board has decided as we move forward that if you’d like to run the crown jewels, you need to be supporting BE.
“For all international events, if they traditionally run unaffiliated, we’re asking them to run [those] as Go BE. Interestingly, on that point, we’ve had more organisers [and] more events apply than ever before, and lots of unaffiliated events are coming back to the BE fold.
“There’s a balance here of looking after and supporting all our organisers, but also moving the sport forward. It’s our duty to look after the national governing body, but work with our organisers and offer them an alternative to unaffiliated.”
Following the millions spent on IT, BE is moving away from its bespoke software to using third-party systems where possible. BE director Di Brunsden took the meeting through the five-phase plan to “simplify” the organisation’s IT.
“It is too fragile and we have too many technologies involved,” she said.
“Obviously we are also trying to reduce costs. Because of the complexity, [the current IT system] is expensive to support and maintain.
“We are going to remove as much of the bespoke software that has been built wherever possible. BE is not a software company. It’s a national governing body. It is not big enough to support the amount of bespoke software that we actually have at the moment.”
