Those of us who grew up with the Wizarding World like to think of ourselves as generation Harry Potter—we're the ones who read and re-read all the books as kids, and who cried with bitter disappointment when we turned eleven and there was no Hogwarts letter in sight. But we're not the only generation to love Harry Potter. If your mother is just as much of a Potterhead as you are (or if you know a brand new Potterhead mom), then you need this Harry Potter Mother's Day Gift Guide to find the perfect magical gift for the magical mom in your life.
I don't know about you other Potter kids, but when I was little my mom used to read the Harry Potter books to me every night before bed. She confessed years later that it was a struggle to keep herself from sneaking into my room after I was asleep to read ahead. Once I was older, we'd take turns reading Harry Potter to each other. And of course, she committed 110% to her Dobby and Hagrid voices. I'm sure there are many Potterhead dads out there too (although my dad only made it a couple chapters into the first book, and so he calls it "that book about Dudley and the snake"). But with Mother's Day coming up, what better way to show your mom or moms some love than with a gift straight out of Diagon Alley?
If you're reading this, you're probably too old to pass off a homemade paper-tissue flower as a present (trust me, I've tried). So here are some Harry Potter gifts for your favorite mom:
For the classy mother who still wants to rep her HP love, I give you this minimalist necklace. I'm guessing your mom doesn't want to lug around a big, gaudy time turner necklace (or maybe you have a super cool mom, I don't know), but this necklace has just enough Harry Potter to it without looking like a piece of costume jewelry.
If your mom needs to unwind, why not treat her to a spa day dedicated to her very own Hogwarts house? (If your mother doesn't know her Hogwarts house, you might have to trick her into taking a few online quizzes before making this purchase). This set comes with bath salt, lotion, bubble bath, a scented candle, heating pack, and lip balm for on-the-go pampering.
These are so cute I almost hate them. I mean, they're ridiculously cute. If your mother is anything like my mother, she spends her days wandering the house asking which glass is her glass. Well now she won't have to! (For wine glasses, at least.) These tiny book charms are perfect for a Potterhead mom who likes to have other Potterhead moms over for chardonnay.
Scented candles are divisive. Some people find them charming, while other people see them as evidence that you put no effort whatsoever into their gift. But every HP fan will love these candles. I mean, the scents are HARRY POTTER CHARACTERS. Doesn't your mom want her home to smell like Severus Snape? Ok, maybe not Snape. But she'll definitely want to inhale the sweet scent of Hermione Granger.
The world of Harry Potter mugs and tea cups is competitive. But this one is just plain brilliant: you can see the Grim in your tea leaves every time! Granted, the Grim is not a great omen... but it's still a very cool tea cup. Perfect for a mother who's also a dedicated tea drinker.
Even if your mother isn't the type to stand on a rocky shore and stare out to sea while holding a scarf, she'll find a way to wear this. The artwork is just plain beautiful, and a completely unique take on the famous Marauder's Map. Any fashionable mom would love to rock a scarf designed by her favorite gang of illegal animagi.
These earrings are made out of actual pages of the Harry Potter books. I mean, yes, it's distressing to imagine someone cutting up your childhood like that. But these earrings are just subtle enough that your mom will be able to wear them while doing professional mom things. And she'll still be carrying around a little piece of the HP universe with her, everywhere she goes.
If your mother's taste in throw pillows has been bugging you since early childhood, this is the perfect opportunity to buy her a pillow cover that you'll both enjoy. This cover features illustrations of items and symbols from the Wizarding World, and it's pretty freaking adorable.
For the culinary-minded mom (or, alternatively, the mom who wants to display cheese on a piece of wood), you can go for a beautifully engraved cutting board. It's perfect for a serious chef who needs a serious chopping block, or for the non-cooking parent who likes to artistically display crackers next to the Hogwarts school crest.
10. The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook by Dinah Bucholz
Speaking of culinary moms, why not just spring for The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook? If your mom enjoys cooking, then this is the perfect way to convince her to make you treacle tart. Seriously though, this book contains recipes for everything from Cauldron Cakes to Molly's Meat Pies. And if she doesn't enjoy cooking... well, then she'll probably let you borrow it.
If your mom is more a coffee mom than a tea mom, you're going to want to forget that tea cup and get her this mug instead. At first, it's an ordinary mug that says, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." Cute enough. But then you pour coffee in it, and in magically changes color to say, "mischief managed." Ideal for any caffeine-dependent mother.
I mean... look at this. Look at this stupidly cute coaster. Harry's a lizard. You want this coaster. If your mother is an any way cool, she also wants this coaster. It's a pretty adorable lizard coaster.
Maybe your mom just moved. Maybe you accidentally gashed her favorite painting while throwing knives around her living room. I don't know your life. But if your mother is in need of a new wall hanging, consider these gorgeous Harry Potter travel posters. The prints are just plain beautiful, and they'll remind her of her favorite fictional locations.
This is the ultimate Potterhead purse. If your mom likes to shout her love for Harry Potter from the rooftops (and if she's pro-recycling), this is a show-stopping gift. It's a handbag made out of a REAL Harry Potter book cover (and yes, they sell all seven). This purse is only for a true fan-mom.

Nursing students get comprehensive training at midtown campus
Patients placed in the care of nurses recently graduated from the Creighton University College of Nursing in midtown Phoenix can be confident they’ll be well cared for.
The doors at the midtown nursing school open not just to classrooms but also to hospital units, where students gain comprehensive hands-on training under the supervision of experienced nurses and faculty.
It’s an approach that transforms the traditional clinical experience by making students part of a care team under the direct guidance of trained nurses. Unlike the traditional clinical model, in which college faculty arrive on a ward with eight to 10 students and begin engaging in direct patient care, the “Dedicated Education Unit” (DEU), as the innovative concept is known, binds students much closer to the patient experience.
It’s a strategy, says Anne Schoening, PhD, RN, CNE, project director for Dedicated Education Units at the Creighton University College of Nursing, that frees faculty to teach and allows nurses to pass on their expertise.
“Instead of concentrating on tasks, the faculty has time for one-to-one conferences with the students as we pull them off the unit at least twice a day to go through what they have learned about medications, goals and outcomes,” she says.
“Between the time they spend with that nurse – who really is the expert, who’s there every day, who knows the workflow – and then with faculty asking intentional questions, we are providing almost a one-to-one experience.”
The division of labor between clinical nurses and college faculty that the DEU concept embodies benefits everybody, says Catherine Todero, PhD, RN, FAAN, dean of the Creighton University College of Nursing and vice provost of Creighton’s Health Sciences Campuses.
“One of the things that’s really exciting about trying to create these academic-service partnerships are the new models of education that we’re rolling out,” she says.
“With the clinician actually helping to teach the technical side of things, it allows the faculty member more time to develop the students’ clinical decision-making skills.”
Schoening and her staff have honed the DEU model since the fall of 2013 when it was introduced at the Creighton University Medical Center in Creighton’s hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. Six years later, with the model expanded to hospitals in Nebraska and Iowa, the Phoenix location is now the beneficiary of a mature program that offers direct, nurse-supervised experience to students in the areas of medical/surgical, intensive care, emergency and obstetrics.
The value of the DEU experience is reflected in the ratings given to Creighton students once they advance to their preceptorships — the nursing version of an apprenticeship, where students practice for 220 hours off campus, away from faculty and under the personal supervision of nurses.
“Our DEU students are rated significantly higher by their preceptors in overall competence, time management, prioritization and knowledge of pharmacology and pathophysiology than previous non-DEU cohorts,” Schoening says.
“That’s why the immersive DEU experience, right before that preceptorship experience, is so valuable.”
The DEU experience in Phoenix is provided through Creighton’s partnerships with St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center, St. Joseph’s Westgate Medical Center and Chandler Regional Medical Center, all within the Dignity Health system, and Valleywise Health Medical Center.
The nurses to whom students are assigned are carefully chosen. Designated as Clinical Teaching Partners, they are chosen for their interest in nurturing a new generation of nurses and their willingness to work with small numbers of students during commitments that last from three to eight weeks, depending on the specialty. They undergo a four-hour orientation at which they learn about the students’ curricula, what is expected of the students and their instructors, and become, essentially, an extension of the college’s faculty.
“It’s been a very positive experience overall both for the students and me,” said Ashley Jenson, RN, BSN, a clinical teaching partner at Dignity Health Chandler Regional Medical Center in Chandler.
“The students come in very prepared and very eager to learn about everyday situations in a hospital setting,” she said.
“They are very fortunate, with the DEU model, to be able to stay in the same setting for eight to 10 weeks. You build a trusting relationship with each other, as a student and as a professional working in the field. You build that trust level and learn each other’s strengths and weaknesses.
“That’s something that in the traditional nursing school model you don’t get. You’re usually in a different location every day, which is great for exposure but at the same time you don’t get to build that foundation of trust.
“I could just see the confidence grow in the students from day one to day 10 or 12. Watching them progress as individuals as well as nurses was really exciting to see.”
Creighton University, based in Omaha, Nebraska, is one of 27 Jesuit colleges and universities in the U.S. It enrolls more than 4,000 undergraduates and more than 4,000 graduate and professional students among nine schools and colleges. The Creighton University Health Sciences – Phoenix Campus is expected to be completed in 2021, and will eventually serve nearly 900 Creighton students in nursing, pharmacy, physical therapy, occupational therapy and physician assistant programs, as well as students in a four-year medical program. The Creighton University Arizona Health Education Alliance, which includes Creighton, Dignity Health St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center, Valleywise Health, and District Medical Group, Inc., is one of the state’s largest providers of Graduate Medical Education.

Beauty & Elegance
Elegant is she who sees the beauty in others.
“Elegance comes from being as beautiful inside as outside.”
― Coco Chanel
Admittedly, for most of my days of being a Mom, I don’t know what I am doing but I do know how I am feeling….
Well, let me take that back. I know what I am doing when it comes to the important things, but it is a journey, each stage in their lives, and learning how to love, lead, learn, and let go. The emotions are high, strong and oh so vulnerable and full.
I can’t tell you how many mistakes I have made and I will continue to make. Balancing a business, motherhood, growing as a woman myself, and raising kids is not easy. As much as we attempt to do it all, each and every Mom knows the work that goes into it. Some days are long and mundane, some are insane, some are overwhelming and some are pure joy and magical.
I am on the other side. I have not arrived but I am on the other side. The other side of this is the strong desire to raise a girl that is confident, kind, responsible, lovely, strong, and exercises beauty from the inside out. While we have not arrived, I can see it all happening, I can see her light shine and it is that same light she has had since day one. Beauty is an inside job, it all begins in the heart.
That fine balance of a girl (or shall I say young woman) that will be kind but also stand up for herself and others. As I watched my daughter stand (and pose) for Prom, I could not be more proud of the woman she is becoming. As her Mom, of course I think she is beautiful on the outside, but what really takes my breath away is her inner beauty. She really is that girl. When she is not rushing out the door, or on her phone, or with her friends or at dance—she asks for hugs, she jumps on my bed and we talk, we laugh, we connect, we bond. While in my professional life, I inspire others, and hold that honor sacred, I teach leadership, I teach life mastery, and I practice these things each day—being a mom is more visceral, vulnerable and is my most important work here on Earth.
My mom was my teacher, and now I am hers….
She hears me preach more than she wants to. She hears these lessons she does not want to hear, all thrown in to the chaos of every day life at our home. I pray she hears, I pray she knows, I pray she always believes in herself, her worthiness, her ability, her heart, her mind. Today, I look at her and say, we’ve done good. This is not just me, it is my husband, it is the community that surrounds her, and it is her (and in all things it is God). She is divine. She is grace. She is what is lovely. She is my baby girl who is in this incredible evolution of womanhood. I sit back in wonder, how did we get here, and how did it happen? I am in this vortex of holding on and letting go…. Is she ready?
So for those of you reading with younger girls, and want them to grow up to be beautiful human beings that a strong, independent, confident, kind….
I don’t have all the answers, I don’t know what I am doing all the time and I make mistakes…. but this is what I know for sure….
Don’t raise the best, don’t look to be #1 in everything, don’t get so caught up in doing it all, that you suffer the consequences in the next generation.
Teach kindness. Be Humble. Fall down. Hug them every day. Make Time. Forgive Yourself for not being there at all times. Surround Yourself with Good People. Put Family First. Lean on God. Laugh. Follow Your Heart. Embrace Your Humor. Let it be.
Ask the question, “will this matter in 10 years”, ask it again…. Teach empathy, compassion, love, grace, and exercise those things as much as you can.
I made some really good decisions and I have messed up daily. I have felt mom guilt, and have had moments that I did not think I was doing it right or good enough. I am here to tell you that it does not matter, what matters is love, just love them with all your heart (which is one thing I did), and when they know this, and feel this, they capture it inside.
Another milestone and another opportunity to see my girl, and to see Gods work, and to see love and her community (family, teachers, friends, parents, care givers) all shine through as part of her cloth. This fabric all threaded together with different touch points, sewn together so beautifully.
Raise them Up. The dress, hair, make up & style will only carry them so far, it is the inner beauty that radiates and truly defines their beauty.
A girl should be two things, classy & fabulous! It is she that sees the beauty in others that truly shines herself. Stunning, grace, beauty, elegance are all simple measures of the heart. And this girl right here has stolen mine, and will always have it captured.

Thank you for the stay The room was in a poor state when we arrived although the room was clean and presentable there where a few minor things broken and i believe this could have been fixed without me telling them the next morning. We would have loved to have better towels that would be nice
the bathroom i must say in the unit were very awkward and small but the shower was nice.
I would have liked a information page or something informing me of time of the breakfast and suggestions on where to get dinner in town. Breakfast was nice
I will stay again but nit in the winter and maybe for a bit cheaper

The Edit reporter SARAH HAYHURST talks to the band about tales from the road, the recording process and why dog’s aren’t their best friends anymore…
With a faint smell of gas coming from a boiler and pipes rattling I manage to squeeze most of City Reign into a room the size of a bathtub. With Mike Grice: guitar, Chris Bull vocal/ guitar and Duncan Bolton; drums are huddled round the microphone, there was no hope of fitting Mike Glaze: bass in to the cupboard.
City Reign are an Indie rock group from Manchester and are in the Bay to play their first ever Scottish show for the release of their EP ‘Numbers for Street Names’. I managed to grab them before they took to the stage for a quick interview, telling tales of dog poo and a Ryan Adam’s concert.
Can you guys give me 3 words to describe your sound?
Mike: City Reign Rock!
Chris: That’s awful! Energetic, melodic, rock… with a bit of indie… that’s too many words!
Mike: City Reign rock, we’re sticking with that. (Laughs)
How did you start the band, were you friends for a while or meet and then thought, let’s make a band?
Chris: I was talking to my mate about the queue; Mike was sat behind me, heard me talking about it and asked if we were going to the gig and if he could tag along.
Mike: And then we got horrendously drunk and decided we should form a band.
Chris: Glaze was my flatmate and we needed a bass player so we asked him if he wanted to learn bass and he said; yeah, alright. We had a drummer called Sam who plays on the record; he was in the band till 5/6 months ago then left for a job that pays lots of money, so we thought Duncan doesn’t have a job that pays lots of money, so he’ll do.
Duncan: So I’ve been in the band for about 2/3 months.
Has this change in line- up greatly changed your dynamics?
Chris: It has gelled very well I think.
Mike: With Duncan has a similar personality to us. Chris: We just got on well and he’s not a terrible drummer (Mike and Duncan laugh), so musically it fits.
Your EP’s been in the works for a few years, is this just because you’ve been juggling other things?
Mike: Well it’s only really been in the last year that we decided to take it seriously.
Chris: Me and Mike had been writing together for about 3 years, so we recorded a couple of songs, released them and they went down quite well, so we decided to do the EP. A couple of the songs were re-recorded and reworked and the rest were a year or two old.
Would you rather play live all the time than record, or do you enjoy that process too?
Mike: Writing together, I probably get the biggest kick out of that I think; just the initial creation.
Chris: I do like that, but I really enjoy the studio, because you’ve got an idea of a song and how you want it to sound, and when you can go into a studio and make it how you want it to sound that’s really satisfying.
But then going out and playing in front of people that get a buzz off it, that’s also really cool.
Mike: Yeah you get a high from that too, that the other processes don’t give you.
What songs do you enjoy playing live the most; your older songs or the newer ones?
Mike: I like playing the newer ones, I like playing more complicated things. It keeps my mind sharp. (Laughs) Chris has a song that we used to play that is only 3 chords. We’ve been ending the shows with a new song, the last song on the EP.
Chris: It’s acoustic on the EP, it works really well but we play it live electrically, and I think we all really enjoy that. We wouldn’t play songs if we didn’t enjoy them but I enjoy playing new songs.
You guys are on your independent label, why did you decide to do that?
Chris: There weren’t really a queue of major labels so we thought we’d do it ourselves. Carboot Records comes from a Doves documentary we saw. In the early days they used to sell cassettes out the back of a car, so we thought it was quite a cool idea.
Do you think more bands should be on independent labels?
Chris: I think most bands are; the era of the label seems to be dying out. Obviously we would like somebody to come and spend loads of money on us, but when you’re doing it on your own the music is what you want it to be. People in Argentina have heard our music, which we could never have done 10 years ago but because of the internet and AWOW (Artists without a Label); we have got our stuff on ITunes.
Being 4 boys on tour all the time, what’s the funniest thing that’s ever happened to you on tour?
Chris: I slipped in dog poo twice, within a space of 20 minutes in Amsterdam and they absolutely ripped it out of me.
Mike: And in Amsterdam, our sound guy was with us and he looks a bit like Carl Pilkington. These Dutch guys came up to us and asked if it was him. (All laugh)
Duncan: Chris slipping in dog faeces is definitely the highlight for me.


On July 29th, 2019, Long Beach marked a major milestone in its history and a new era in its downtown development by opening to the public a brand new City Hall, Civic Chambers, Port of Long Beach Administration Building, and Civic Plaza – the first phase of the Long Beach Civic Center master plan development.
. . .
Plenary-Edgemoor Civic Partners (PECP) is the development partner, and its three main consortium contractors are Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM) for the design, Clark Construction as the builder, and Johnson Controls International (JCI) to operate and maintain the buildings.
In “The New Long Beach Civic Center,” a book produced by South Coast Publishing, we will examine the multi-layered history of how this development came about, the pioneering business model, the transformation of a megablock into a pedestrian-scaled area, the sunsoaked buildings, and all of those ‘little’ things that make a space a place, from attractive signage to public art.


A new lengthy trailer for Splatoon 3 shown during today’s Nintendo Direct showcase gave a solid hint towards what players can expect from the game’s strange story. While it’s been hinted that Splatoon takes place in a post-apocalyptic version of Earth, the third entry in the franchise will see the Inklings deal with the return of mammals to the world.
The game itself takes place in Splatsville, a bustling metropolis populated by Inklings. It’s also where players will fight each other in the game’s main multiplayer mode, Turf War. Much like previous Splatoon games, two four-player teams compete against each other to cover as much ground as they can in their ink before a timer runs out. Whichever team has the most territory covered is the winner.
Updating the game mode, Splatoon 3 will include new ways for players to paint the world, including a Star Wars Droideka-style mech, a bow and arrow that fires paint, and a grappling hook that leaves paint wherever the user lands.

We are back in Kuala Lumpur after four months in Penang. I have not been busy but I have been lazy in posting impressions on those four months. My recovery from cataract surgery completes giving me 3D and depth perception back. I don’t get so tired typing on the notebook computer.
The famous Burma Road was an allied supply artery to China during World War II. Leaving Lashio at the Northern border of Burma (Myanmar), it ran to Kunming and Yunan in China.
In Penang, Jalan Burma (Burma Road) runs from the edge of the Heritage Neighborhood of George Town up to the Mount Erskine area through a district known as Pulau Tikus. Historically, this area was the meeting point of various ethnic groups, cultures, and commerce of Penang Island. It was only a 10 minute walk from our place, so regularly we went exploring along the main thoroughfare and the side streets. We found some famous temples, unique spots to grab takeaway, and the occasional surprise.

The Ivy League’s Co-Player of the Week totaled 10 points on three goals and seven assists in the Tigers’ 19-15 win against Harvard on Saturday. Sowers has now amassed 247 points in his career, tying the program record set by attackman Kevin Lowe (1991-94). He is fifth in Division I history in points per game (6.02).
The Atlantic Coast Conference’s Defensive Player of the Week limited sophomore attacker Charlotte North – who had 88 points in her first 15 games – to a single goal on five shots in the No. 3 Tar Heels’ 19-5 thrashing of then-No. 13 Duke on Saturday. Trenchard, who also finished with one assist, one caused turnover and three ground balls, held North to almost five points below her season average of 5.9.
Outlook: This game has significant implications not only for the two sides involved but also No. 13 Towson (8-4, 3-1). A Minutemen win would mean a second straight regular-season crown and the right to host the conference tournament, while a Blue Hens victory could open the door for the Tigers to collect both honors.
Outlook: The conference’s inaugural regular-season title and the top seed in the league tournament will be at stake when the Bearcats tangle with the Gators, who won their fourth consecutive Big East tournament crown last season. Florida has won all five meetings with Cincinnati by a 95-18 margin.

A painting created during the first few months of lockdown after reflecting on human interactions and relationships within the context of social distancing.
Using a cast of three small vessels Helen wanted to convey her experience of coming across friends whilst walking in the park and having to chat standing spaced apart.
The objects in her still life paintings are usually configured in close proximity to one another, letting their shapes, colours and pattern play off one another. In this painting she has positioned the three subjects separately and spaced apart whilst still connecting them in conversation by their inward orientation.
In order to keep an openness and sense of space within the painting, the background pattern is deliberately subtle and the vessels themselves have simple forms and minimal decoration.
Original painting. Unframed.
2020, Gouache on cartridge paper 50cm x 50cm
From the artist:
My paintings and prints are inspired by my love of mid century design and are a celebration of colour, form and pattern.
I have a HND in textile and surface pattern design and these studies continue to have a guiding effect on my work. Other influences come from having worked in various creative industries including the ceramic studio of Majolica Works in the Manchester Craft and Design Centre and more lately developing my computer art work as part of a design team in Salford Quays. I paint from my home studio in Levenshulme and I am a member of Hot Bed Press in Manchester where I make my linocut and screen prints.
My work centres around domestic pottery, jugs, coffee pots and vases and is a reflection of my adoration of mid century ceramics and the forms, colours and patterns that reflect our wider tastes and times. In my still life compositions I aim to capture the different personalities of each piece, highlighting their individuality with the curve of a handle or the angular shape of a spout. I like to make a contrast between their glazed decoration, colours, pattern and textures and then echo these elements throughout the design of the painting or print.
I produce linocuts and screen prints, digital illustration prints and still-life gouache paintings.
Original artworks are sent directly from the artist's studio and are not eligible for free shipping offers. UK delivery with insurance is £35, for international orders please contact us for a shipping quote.

Sounds good. We've been a few times a few years ago as it's only a cheap flight away from London. We stayed in various places round Puerto Pollensa and have ridden the east and north-east side of the island. We still have photos of big grins as we rode through gnarled olives up and downhill.
Basically the northern third of the island is mountainous while the middle and south offers rolling / flats. I think the tour will be missing the highlights if it fails to ride to the lighthouse at Formentor and also up and over the mountains down to Soller, which is an awesome descent then climb back up. On a tandem I would want very useful brakes for this. Also the climb to Puig Major is supposed to be nice, but quite hard.
We also did a nice ride down to Cuevas d'Arta on the south of the island and were caught on the way by a local pro and his buddies out on a rest day ride. You could tell he was definitely a pro as he was wearing a long sleeved top and legwarmers at 32 degrees C! We thought he looked quite classy until he told us he was a time trial specialist and had beat Chris Boardman into 4th place in a prologue at the Giro.
The other crazy thing about the island is that it's known by the Germans as the equivalent of the 53rd state. In some places imagine a hotter and less organised version of Germany, complete with Currywurst and great beers. Germans much like English people, only better behaved. We liked it, others don't.
However I slightly disagree on the traffic. When we were there at Easter there were still a large number of dead from the neck-up tourists dawdling in hire cars and crazy locals doing their best impression of WRC tarmac stages on roads that go anywhere. Also some of the mountain roads are narrow and the only way to get from A to B. However once onto the minor roads it's lovely.
Want to go back, but am going to Riccione (Adriatic coast of Italy) tomorrow for a week's cycling, so very happy.

Applying for a mortgage can become stressful if you fail to research thoroughly and plan smartly. A church loan, for instance, is a significant financial commitment. Without careful consideration, putting your ministry’s future at stake is a considerable risk, not worth taking. Taking church mortgages without checking whether your ministry can afford it or not, has negative repercussions on all concerned.
When it comes to finances, church authorities often mismanage their monetary resources resulting in financial instability. Some of these errors include:
Taking on Excessive Debt
Getting into a cycle of excessive debt forbids you from expanding your ministry and paying your staff.
Drafting Impractical Budgets
Drafting budgets on faith instead of taking the church’s past performance into account will not help you cater for unanticipated expenditures.
Failing To Preserve Valuable Relationships
Not cultivating fruitful relationships with those who contribute maximum to the church’s kitty makes you lose potential donations.
Underestimating the Value of Cash Reserves
Not creating sufficient cash reserves and sometimes failing to utilize the church’s financial resources to promote your ministry is not advisable.
Closing Channels of Communication
Failing to transparently communicate with your congregation about financial dealings involving their donations is not fair. They have a right to know how you are putting their funds to use.
When seeking out church mortgages, refrain from making these common mistakes as listed here:
Partnering With Agencies of Disrepute
The agency you partner with for a church loan must understand your vision and genuinely guide you in the right direction. Frequently communicate with their relevant representatives to assess how far you can rely on them from a long-term perspective.
Never take financial matters lightly, especially when you take a loan and commit to a stipulated duration. Implicitly trust only those agencies and individuals who have the church’s interest at heart and display the same by their actions.
Applying For a Loan without Adequate Preparations
If you are operating your church from a rented facility, ignore the urge to build your facility. The latter is not limited to merely purchasing a piece of land to build a structure. There are a host of expenses involved, like maintenance, insurance, and other costs that need careful consideration.
Lending agencies are not always willing to negotiate terms that favor the church’s interests. Your landlord may be more likely to consider selling off the same property to church authorities who prove to be good tenants.
Not Undertaking Budget Evaluation
Consistently reviewing your church budget allows you to assess the funds at your disposal. If you find it challenging to regularly undertake this evaluation exercise, delegate this task to a responsible and knowledgeable individual.
Not adopting healthy practices for budgeting and accounting prevents your church from achieving financial stability. Without such a sturdy foundation in place, you cannot proceed to take on additional debt.
Failing to Plan Ahead
As your ministry grows, there are new financial challenges that arise. Only when you have effective internal controls in place can you take on a church mortgage with greater responsibility. Strategic planning by catering for reserves that enable the church to continue its operations while paying off loans allows your ministry to continue. Taking a church loan in the absence of proper planning is suicidal. Secure your ministry’s future by responsibly monitoring your church’s financial health before applying for a loan.


The West Virginia volleyball team will compete in its first Big 12 match in a doubleheader Friday and Saturday against the Oklahoma Sooners.
WVU (10-1) jumped out to a 10-match non-conference win streak to begin the season but lost in its most recent match against the No. 20 Penn State Nittany Lions.
West Virginia head coach Reed Sunahara believes their match against the Nittany Lions, even though it was a loss, was helpful in preparing them for conference play.
“Penn State is a great team with great tradition, and they just kept coming at us and putting us at a disadvantage,” Sunahara said. “It was very challenging for us and we learned a lot, like we need to play better defense, we need to pass the ball better, and we have to attack the ball better.”
Although the offense struggled against the Nittany Lions, it has been an essential part to the Mountaineers’ success this season. Senior middle blocker Briana Lynch and senior right side hitter Adrian Ell both surpassed 100 kills so far this season, with 127 and 105, respectively.
Lynch also has a team high 45% hitting percentage and leads the team in blocks with 50.
The leading passer for West Virginia has been its star senior setter Lacey Zerwas, who has recorded 377 assists, finding her teammates early and often throughout the season.
Although offense has been WVU’s strength, many contributors have allowed its defense to be deadly too, with senior defensive specialist Alexa Hasting amassing 153 digs, and freshman middle blocker Madison Page recording 44 blocks.
For Oklahoma (6-5), it enters into these matches on a two-match win streak after winning in four sets against the SMU Mustangs in its last match.
Offensively, the Sooners find production from freshman middle blocker Megan Wilson who has recorded 186 kills on a 24% hitting percentage, as well as 13 service aces.
Oklahoma’s best passer is freshman setter Peyton Dunn who has poured in 434 assists for her team, which is the most by an individual player in the Big 12.
Defensively, the Sooners have many playmakers, including freshman libero Callie Kemohah who has 178 digs, and senior middle blocker Paige Anderson who leads her team with 54 blocks.
Sunahara believes he and his team can slow down the Sooners just by simply focusing on their own side of the court, and how they execute down the stretch.
“We have to control the ball on our own side of the court,” Sunahara said. “We also got to make sure that we hopefully can expose some of their weaknesses and they’re going to try to do the same to us and we got to make sure we’re doing good things that can help us score points.”
The matches are set to take place at the WVU Coliseum and will begin at 6 p.m. on Friday and 5 p.m. on Saturday.

Gottlieb: The Internet Needs to Better Root Out Illegal Opioid Distributors
Posted 05 April 2018 | By
Social media companies, internet service providers (ISPs) and others in the internet ecosystem need to be more proactive in rooting out illegal operations that distribute opioids, FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said at the National Rx Drug Abuse and Heroin Summit in Atlanta on Wednesday.
Citing a recent report from the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, Gottlieb said investigators found more than 500 financial transactions totaling $230,000 linked to 300 individuals in 43 states. The report also identified seven individuals who died from fentanyl overdoses after sending money and receiving packages from online sellers.
“Internet firms simply aren’t taking practical steps to find and remove these illegal opioid listings. There’s ample evidence of narcotics being advertised and sold online,” Gottlieb said. “I know that Internet firms are reluctant to cross a threshold; where they could find themselves taking on a broader policing role. But these are insidious threats being propagated on these web platforms.”
The magnitude of this public health emergency “requires a change in mindset among Internet companies and the adoption of a more responsible, collective approach to eliminating illegal opioid distribution via the Internet,” he added.
Gottlieb also announced that FDA will soon host a summit meeting with CEOs and other senior representatives of internet companies, academics and advocacy groups to identify gaps and solutions – “like altering search algorithms to inform potential opioid purchasers to pages offering validated treatment programs, along with information about the potentially fatal risks associated with the illicit online sale of opioids.”
The speech came on the same day that Senate
committees unveiled draft discussion versions of bills to better address the opioids crisis.

They are obviously enraged and you chuckle about the situation as you often do when you see people totally nuts over some silly issue. But as you pass you se a flash of light and hear a shot, then another.... You turn and see a man shooting into the windshield of a Honda where a woman and small boy are screaming........ You pull out your legal cc pistol and prevent the murder of the woman and boy by putting a round into the back of the shooters head. You run over to the Honda and see that the woman and boy have both been shot but they are still alive. You call 9-11 for EMT. A marked police car arrives and Officer Jones steps out.

As part of its commitment to help alleviate the shortage of affordable housing in the Western Cape, the Amdec Group has announced the development of a R500m affordable housing estate in Ottery, Cape Town. Golden Grove Estate will be built on an 11ha site formerly known as Golden Grove Poultry Farm, offering 1,000 affordable residential apartments for rent. Consisting of one-, two- and three-bedroom units, the development is targeted at households with an employment history and a joint household income of up to R22,000 per month. The rental cost will not exceed 30% of the tenant’s household income. Golden Grove Estate will include a convenience retail centre; a laundry; communal gardens and a children’s playground; a creche, daycare and aftercare or supervised homework facilities; a furniture workshop where residents can build or assemble their own flat-pack furniture; five-a-side soccer pitches and basketball courts; and a communal recreational clubhouse for all residents. “We are acutely aware of the need for affordable housing, so we are delighted that our planning application in respect of Golden Grove Estate was approved,” said Amdec Group CEO James Wilson last week at a sod-turning ceremony attended by the executive mayor of Cape Town, Alderman Dan Plato. “We intend launching to market within the next month or two and being in the ground before the end of the year,” said Wilson.
“As the demand for housing in SA continues to grow and our capacity to deliver housing is simply not able to meet that demand, I am pleased to see the private sector playing its part and developing affordable housing sites that also include a wide variety of attractive recreational spaces,” said Plato. “I look forward to seeing the first of the families move into their new homes in the near future.” The Amdec Group is not new to the affordable housing sector. In 2007 it acquired and redeveloped 13 vacant office buildings in Doornfontein, Johannesburg, to create an innovative and ground-breaking mixed-use precinct providing affordable homes for 1,500 young families (about 6,000 people). “We have established a fully fledged affordable housing division responsible for building, owning, operating and managing our affordable housing stock to ensure that housing is made available to those who need it most,” said Wilson. “We are also engaging with industry experts in the fields of affordable, social and subsistence housing to provide the thought leadership necessary to develop innovative solutions to the national housing crisis.”

WASHINGTON, D.C.–Witnesses reported seeing President Barack Obama nervously strolling alone down Pennsylvania Avenue earlier today, apparently searching for his Secret Service detail, which was nowhere in sight.
“The president was looking all over the place,” noted Sally Higgins, who was visiting the Capitol from Vermont, “He was yelling ‘Hey, you guys! This isn’t funny anymore!’ He looked pretty worried.”
Sources inside the White House confirm that the president has lost sight of his Secret Service detail on “no more than a couple of dozen” occasions prior to today. Experts say it isn’t uncommon for Secret Service agents to grow tired of protecting sitting presidents, especially those who serve a second term, but that the malaise usually sets in during the final year in office.
“The prevailing attitude has traditionally been ‘Hey, if someone were going to take a shot at the president, it would have happened before now,” said presidential historian Lief Rutgers, “But that usually doesn’t happen until the last five or six months of a second term. It is somewhat unique for it to happen so early and often to President Obama.”
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest assured reporters that the president made it back to the White House in perfect health, although he implied that there may be a certain Secret Service detail in a little trouble tonight.
“The president was a little hot under the collar, as you can imagine,” said Earnest, “I think he was actually hot all over, from how covered in sweat he was. I’d hate to be those Secret Service guys if he ever finds them.”

UFO Air Purifier is equipped with double ion generators. This feature enables the air cleaner to enhance the negative ion concentration, helps refresh the air and vitalizes your senses. The negative ion concentration setting with 2 levels increases the effectivity of the negative ions up to a distance of 9 meters.
The built-in UV lamp of the UFO Air Purifier sterilizes the air. It emits UV (c) rays and kills the bacterias, viruses and fungal spores by destroying their DNA structures.
You will have a peaceful summer by placing any mosquito repellent cartridge available on the market into UFO Air Purifier's specially designed socket. This function can also be utilized independently.
At the back of your air cleaner a fragrance chamber is available which can be filled with the perfume sold together with the product. You can adjust the fragrance release as desired.
The blue light of the air purifier can be turned on via remote control to illuminate dark places and creates a relaxing atmosphere.
All the functions displayed on the LCD control panel can also be activated through the remote control supplied together with the air purifier. Fan speed, the UV lamp, mosquito repellent function, blue light and the ion level can be adjusted easily.
You can use the control panel to adjust fan speed, negative ion level and to activate the UV lamp and the mosquito repellent. You can also see the room temperature and set the timer.
UFO Air Purifier has 3 different fan settings. Depending on the room size and pollution level, the desired performance can be selected.
The timer on the LCD panel gives you the option to choose between I, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours of operation. The air purifier will shut off automatically after the set time has ended.
UFO Air Purifier has a sensor which registers and displays the room temperature on the LCD screen.
It performs filtration of big particles like pet dander, hair etc. and prevents them reaching the other filters. Pre-Filter can be cleaned by a vacuum cleaner or by washing with water. Replacement is not needed until it is deformed.
Prevents medium-sized particles like dust, pollen and textiles that can penetrate the Pre-Filter, reaching the HEPA filter and prevent decreasing its efficiency. While first particle filter stops particles with a size of 100 microns such as hair and textiles, second particle can filter pollutants larger than 50 microns such as dust and pollen. They can be cleaned by vacuum cleaners or by washing with water. Replacement is not needed until they are deformed.
Hepa filter can trap the particles and pollutants as small as 0,3 micron (1/300 size of human hair) with an efficiency of %99,97. It performs an effective filtration against allergens like bacteria, pollen, mites, molds, pollens as well as microorganisms that fall off human skin. Hepa filter can be partially cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. Depending on the frequency of usage and filthiness of the environment, replacement is needed every year. An indicator label on the filter will show you if a replacement is needed or not.
Carbon filter can catch the gas molecules. It neutralizes the harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde and ammonia, as well as odors and smoke. Carbon filter can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. It should be replaced every year, depending on the frequency of usage and pollution of the environment.
"Photocatalytic Oxidation" is achieved when UV rays combined with this filter. This process creates hydroxyl radicals and super-oxide ions which destroys bacteria, viruses, molds, smoke, odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It cleans itself when left under the sun. This filter should be replaced every year together with the carbon filter.
It sterilizes the air by radiating UV beams with a wave length of 253,7 nm, which breaks DNA structure of the microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, mold spores and destroys them. At the same time, it prevents proliferation of microorganisms on the HEPA Filter. UV lamp has a 8000 hours life time and no maintenance needed. In order to achieve the maximum efficiency, it should be replaced when its life time has expired.
There are 2 powerful ion generators with a capacity of 2x7.000.000 ion/ cm3 in the device. Ion concentration is effective up to 9 meters by the help of the fan. Negative ions are the vitamins of the air. In addition to cleaning the ambient air, it has many contributions to our metabolism while breathing. Generators do not need any maintenance or replacement.

Is it just me, or is the introduction paragraph kind of awkward no matter how you phrase it? It seems like there are only so many ways to introduce yourself, and I’m going to stick with the most basic one: I’m Juliette and normally I’m over at The Other Juliette using GIF after GIF after GIF in posts about friends, bad dates, or general singleness. I’ve known Brittany ever since I religiously started stalking her blog 3 1/2 years ago when I accidentally typed her URL into the box instead of my own (hers had the word “three” and mine had the number “3”) which is obviously FATE because what are the chances?? Brittany and I finally made the leap from blog friends to twitter friends to facebook friends and then WE EXCHANGED PHONE NUMBERS and she doesn’t get mad when I blow up her phone at night with my boy stories. Thanks, Brittany!
One of my favorite topics to write about is singleness, because I’ve been single for the better part of 3 1/2 years and have recently started really enjoying it. However, I have several friends who don’t share my positive attitude toward singleness, and I think that’s actually a shame. So I decided to list a couple of the ways I’ve found to make this time of being single something positive instead of something that makes me sad day after day.
-Stay busy. Really, this has helped me so much! For a couple of years I didn’t have very much going on, so I’d come home from work and sit on the couch and wallow in my singleness and let myself get really depressed. But then about a year ago I moved from Southern California back to the Central Coast of California and I’ve been so much busier since I moved! And since I’ve been busier I’ve had less and less time to be sad about being single.
-Do something for you. Start a new workout routine, take a cooking class, work on your novel, make it a goal to watch all the episodes of The Office and Grey’s Anatomy. For me, it was a mix of blogging, co-ed softball, church activities, and a bunch of my friends moving back to this area the same time I did. There’s almost always something going on, and all of the activities I’m involved in are things that I’m doing for me, not because a boyfriend wanted to do them together.
-Get rid of anything that reminds you of your ex boyfriend(s). After I broke up with a serious boyfriend I kept all of our pictures, his letters, ticket stubs, even the sand from the beach where he first told me he loved me in a shoebox in my closet and I’d take it out from time to time and just be sad by myself. That was so unhealthy! I finally threw everything away, and since then I’ve felt a lot of closure. You might not need to get rid of everything, but definitely try not to surround yourself with love letters and play Adele for three hours straight.
And last but not least, surround yourself with great friends who will remind you constantly how great you are and how much you don’t need a man. Seriously, without my friends it would have been pretty impossible to embrace my singleness. But with the support of my real life friends and my friends on the web I’ve been able to see this time in my life as a gift and something to view with a positive attitude instead of wishing the days away until I meet the man of my dreams, and I hope you’re able to do the same!

LONDON - Turkey is ready to host an international meeting on Syria to follow up one being held in Tunis on Friday to raise pressure on Damascus to end a violent crackdown, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on Thursday.
Speaking on the sidelines of a conference on Somalia in London, he said at the talks in Tunis, "the international community will say with a loud voice that this oppression has to stop...""Our aim is for the international community to raise its voice against the violence in Syria which is now not only directed against the innocent people but the Syrians have turned their guns against journalists."
He said there was general agreement that a follow-up meeting should be held in Istanbul but that this would be decided for sure in Tunis. He gave no date.

Although I admittedly was not a huge fan of Rufus Wainwright's last album, All Days Are Nights: Songs For Lulu, when word broke that the singer-songwriter was going to be working with legendary producer Mark Ronson on his upcoming album, Out Of The Game, it almost immediately sparked my addiction to him again. Although the title track and first single of the album won't be dropping until April 16th (March 13th digitally), one of New York's biggest and most beatiful voices has provided fans with a teaser video (above) with snippets of some of the music included on the album along with commentary from both him and Ronson about the making of the album.
Additionally, last Friday Wainwright shared a track from the album on KCRW called, "Montauk". In addition to an infectious vocal melody that will have you humming the song hours after you finish listening to it, the song is full of cleverly written lyrics that I can only assume are addressed to his daughter Viva. Have a listen to "Montauk" via the player below.
Thanks to Drowned In Sound for the heads up!

“Why is the red fish being bad?” my two year-old daughter asked me.
This is a personal story of my childhood and the changes in me from Dr. Seuss and a two-year old’s question.
My father was a cook in the Army and when I was about twelve, he quit working on the weekends. To most kids, this would be a good thing, but my father was the kind of person who caused his kids to get to the dinner table early so they could grab the chair furthest from him. He was an alcoholic, verbally and physically abusive. So, to us, his weekend day off was soon named “Saturday at the Fights.”
Growing up in an abusive household, we learned coping techniques. One of which was the truth was fairly elastic. A simple, “what did you do today” put our young brains into overdrive, trying to think of the answer least likely to arouse his anger, and his threshold was extremely low.
After a couple of months of Saturdays with him at home. . .whippings does not quite explain it, but I think you get the point. . .we kids held a council to determine an order of accepting blame for the ridiculous allegations he would make (“Which one of you put my socks in my shoes?” was the classic.) In cases like this, he was going to beat someone and we had to decide whom it was. So, we agreed to a rotation of admission, leaving out the youngest because she was simply too young. This worked fairly well for a time, limiting the initial beating to one kid. In the end though, we all usually got it by the end of the day for something we did, whether real or imagined.
The most profound effect of this upbringing was the goal of each and every one of us was to get out of high school and get out of the house as quickly as possible. Needless to say, the relationships between us kids are, even now, some thirty-plus years later, difficult and sporadic. I am told this is normal for survivors.
The single most amazing thing is outside of one of my brothers being arrested in Minnetonka for selling magazine subscriptions door-to-door one summer, none of us were ever in serious trouble with the law. (And he was out the next morning, so that wasn’t what you would call serious.) None are alcoholics. To these amazing facts, I can only credit the people in the church we attended. Many consider that church a cult, and while I am not longer associated with it, it truly was what enabled us to grow up to be fairly good people.
Talking with my father when I was twenty- eight or so, he said he must have done something right raising us because we all turned out pretty good. At the time, this infuriated me; the very idea of him taking credit for our successes was unbelievable. Later, however, I decided there was some shred of truth to the statement. Someone once told me that all parents mess up their kids, they just do it differently and it is because of our dysfunctional raisings that we are successful. Yeah, probably true.
I do expert witness work from time to time. Direct examination is fun; cross-examination, not so much, but challenging. You have to be able to hear the exact question and then try to see where the attorney is going almost instantly. And trust me, neither one is an easy matter. So what happens when I hear a question isthis: all the possible question meanings and possible answers scroll through my head instantly. This, I attribute to the interrogations from my father, where I had to determine the answer least likely to result in a beating. In this regard, the upbringing was good. However, I really do not like being able to do this. By the way, I always tell the truth. It is the right thing to do and by telling the truth, I don’t have to remember what I said.
Also, surviving the upbringing shows me I can survive almost anything, so I don’t worry so much.
Now, back to Dr. Seuss. The book is One Fish, Two Fish. A couple of pages in are the lines: Some are red. And some are blue. Some are old. And some are new. Some are sad.
And some are glad. And some are very, very bad.
It was at this point my daughter asked the question I started this piece with. There on the page is a picture of a big red fish backhanding a little blue fish. As a kid, it was the blue fish being bad and appropriately punished by the red fish. Now, I never beat my kids. This in itself is amazing, given my childhood.
When my daughter asked the question, my mind locked up and I sat in the chair for hours, thinking, watching my understanding of the world change. It was not the blue fish being bad! It was the red fish!
Now, this may seem obvious to most of you, but to me it was a revelation and signaled the end of the old me and the beginning of the new me. It freed me from a lot of demons. And I always remember this so I can remind myself that the first thing in my head when something comes up may be the result of my screwed-up childhood.
I will never fully recover from the raising. No one ever does. That kind of stuff stays with you all your life. But I have a totem now to help me. Given to me by my then-two year old little girl. It is a children’s book, nothing more. I keep telling myself that.

The door. It says, keep out
No it says, “go away humans”
Darren Criss, most well-known for his role as Blaine Anderson on FOX’s hit show ‘Glee’, recently complimented Akdong Musician in a tweet, surprising both ‘Glee’ and K-Pop fans alike.
In the tweet, Criss recommends his followers to listen to Akdong Musician before attaching the music video to their spring hit “200%”. As Criss is a singer-songwriter himself, it looks like he’s particularly impressed with the older brother of the sibling duo, Chan Hyuk, for producing and writing the cheerful love song despite his young age.
It’s always exciting to see two worlds collide. As Criss is known to be musically talented not only on-screen but also on Broadway, fans were happy to see the American musician acknowledge the Korean teenage duo’s talent.
New York a couple weekends back.
I’m kind of rethinking the album cover.
