Intentionality is the watch word in conflict.
If you know how you will respond (rather than react) and you have an understanding of your conflict style (controlling/competing, accommodating, avoiding, collaborating, or compromising) then you can be intentional in how you deal with other people in conflict.
And since conflict is a process of change—even though it feels like a process we’d rather avoid (or define as a disagreement, a fight, or a “difference of opinion”)—we can change out responses and behavior by being intentional.
Supervisors, mangers, and others in positional authority in organizations must do the hard work of deep diving into themselves—and gaining awareness of themselves—before sending employees to training to get awareness.
This is a time consuming proposition that reads like therapy, but in reality is about gaining effectiveness, strengthening ability, and ensuring future success and supervisory outcomes.
But, you do have an alternative choice.
You can always keep intentionally doing what you’ve always done and hope that changes will result.

The gardener who was injured during a gunfight between militants and government forces in an encounter on the city outskirts succumbed to injuries, police sources said.
Abdul Gani Mir, 45, son of Mohammad Sultan Mir, a resident of Gundipora Pulwama was injured during the gunfight, the sources added.
Reports said that while evacuating the employees from the building, a bullet had hit him in his shoulder and he was rushed to SMHS hospital Srinagar where he succumbed to injuries.
The body of the slain gardener was still in the hospital while this report was being filed.

Absorbed into the belly of the beast
I try to keep up.
“The media’s graphic coverage of the earthquake’s aftermath in Haiti is designed to titillate,” complains the British newspaper The First Post, providing links to detailed pictorial coverage in case you missed the titillation first time around.
So that’s what titillation is. In our part of the empire, on the subway to yoga, for example, a girl—and I use the word advisedly—comes over to my side of the car, looks me in the eye, and adjusts the rise on the bottom part of her shirt. A twinkly cross on a chain comes briefly into view against a sky of flesh.
At City without Cars, the nearly ungoogleable environmental disorganization, we have fewer female members than male unless you count sister nowtopian groups or nodes in the sphere. And in my neighborhood, there are more men on the streets than women, so I suppose that as pedestrians we have more to lose from cars. In any case the male/female ratio is likely to persist.
Without taking her eyes off my face, the girl—she isn’t finished with us yet—does something technical to her i-thing. Then she arches her back a little and the block type on her undergaps looms up from the nether with bold assertions of brand. The brand band on her ’gaps is like police tape at a crime site. It’s as if the subliminal message maybe isn’t sex but that kinkier thing, money. Her face is so thoroughly without affect it’s as if expression has been wrung from it like a sponge, but her eyebrow hints a trace of movement that keeps every option on the table. Not that there are any on the subway. Tables, or options.
She gets out at Yonge, and I’ve made it all up, but at the escalator she looks back, and I haven’t.
My wife Eva-Lynn reads some of her Proust to me later in the day from across the room, and it sounds something like, “there is not a single torso, disfigured like an antique marble that tears us away” something something…dusk [dust?] “that blurs it, that does not aim at our heart.” Well, it’s not Shakespeare, but you get the idea. Perhaps any writer of urban landscapes and women—are they the same thing?—has to disfigure the torso of Proust in order to move ahead.
Here in Toronto, sweet kids are out with buckets for the Red Cross. I only donate if it looks like a real swindler holding the bucket. Then again, I’m not sure how you’d know what’s real if the Canadian Red Cross is pretending not to be the American Red Cross, which is an American government agency pretending not to be governmental, and like any government is pretending to be a force for good rather than unremitting evil, and in this case I suppose pretending never to have segregated the blood of black and white people, say, or that their logo doesn’t look like the device of a medieval Crusader, which I guess must be pleasantly nostalgic for Islamic peoples.
Even the tough guy who generally owns donations along the whole west side of Yonge up the hill above Eglinton has had his turf overrun by Red Cross bucketeers of various levels of pluck and true grit. He seems a bit pissed, frankly, or pissed off, as we used to say. I look too much like him for him to have ever bothered asking me for money. He hardly even has time to nod to me these days, what with the bucketeer swarm.
In advanced yoga it’s bandha and mudras up the wazoo, sort of like the kegels us fathers used to do in childbirth classes. When we get our torsos sorted, we learn to see from the back of our heads, which takes some getting used to. I gather that if we do this right we can enter siddhi, which is more or less perfection. ‘It’s a thing that I do from the back of my head’, as Paul Simon might have said. Siddhi is pronounced ‘city’.
After two hours I’m out in the city again. The real McCoy. The first thing I see from the back of my head tooling down Yonge is a car with two cameramen in it and a “Young Drivers” logo on it. Suddenly I revert from yoga IFR to visual flight rules, and I see that logo up close. Putting a logo like that in front of a City without Cars (seewalk) guy is like waving a red cape at a bull or a red cross at a homeland defender. Unless you do a lot of semi-inversions and cap things off with a salamba sarvangasana or two, my kind of yoga’s not necessarily going to make you more peaceful. It can fire you up to justice, which is generally a bad thing. Maybe the mudras messed with my octane levels or something, because I ran on down past all the bucketeers and caught up with that car at the Eglinton light.
I meant to say “fuck you” to the Young Drivers brigade—why can I never think of the great lines until later?—but what I said instead was, “Young Drivers? Young Drivers? You think that’s what we need in the city? If it’s notions of youthfulness and personal freedom you want to link together with combustion, obesity, laziness, lung cancer, maiming, crippling, violent and/or lingering death, unpredictable consequences, and billions of dollars in property damage, why not Young Arsonists? Wouldn’t that be cheaper and simpler?” I get a little professorial and shit when there are two cameras on me. Also, I sometimes forget if ‘billions of dollars of property damage’ is supposed to be in the plus or minus column.
Well, after a few blocks of this sort of thing, with me hunting down in heavy traffic the not-so-young Young Drivers cameramen on Yonge at each red light, wondering if the terms of my particular parole would allow me to stand on the roof of their car, I left them with their cylinders burning 451 degrees Fahrenheit, and I dropped down into the rabbit hole at the sign of the TTC, not necessarily keeping an eye out for Alice or anything.
Later, back at the ranch, a handsome young man in a spiffy black suit keeps trying to interrupt me while I’m talking to a friend near our front porch. My friend is Canadian and in Canada the primary virtue is not being pottymouth’d, so I have certain constraints.
“I gotta tell you, man,” I say to him, “you look kind of like a Mormon.”
“We are Mormons.” He gestures toward his partner in a big American van so shiny and new it’s effulgent. If they had chrome diaries, that’d be it. The thing’s fresh from the carwash and glistening on the brilliant saltflat of the January street like a giant wet stone tablet handed down from God himself to some guy, let’s call him Smith.
“Listen, kid,” I say, looking as wrathful as a semitic storm god. “You can’t be real Mormons.”
For form’s sake, and to give the guy persecution bonus points, I chase him off the property, into his getaway vehicle, and down the street. “Real Mormons walk,” I yell after them. “Or ride bikes.”
Am I right here, or am I right? What’s the world coming to? These kids have the whole rest of their lives to work for the FBI and drive boxy mid-size sedans around, assemble dossiers on environmentalists and their ilk, and consume caffeine-free beverages. But the missionary kids are supposed to walk. There’s an order to these things.
It’s been said that Mormonism is the greatest of the white-invented American religions, but of course pride of place for American home-grown religion ought to go to automobile worship, where every devotee has the under-the-dash bent knee of true submission, hands in prayer position at ten and two o’clock on the wheel. Those supplicatory hands make it seem like we’re a Canamerican nation of fat zombie squirrels rolling around in big plastic nuts.
You think the one-handed toughguy pickup-truck drivers are going to get away from my mixed metaphors? Here goes: They’re charismatic holy rollers, one sacramental hand aloft, and they’re awash in the glossolalia of talk radio babble. If I’m preachin’ this right, let me hear you. Amen or amen? If you’ve ever been to a place called America, you know I’m speakin’ the truth.
It’s a scary moment to see Detroit missionaries pretending to be Salt Lake missionaries. It’s like the empire’s in decline and everyone’s making one last grab at the cash register, the rats are on the move, snake oil’s got a big discount. Five years from now, the close cousins of these kids, if not these kids themselves, will be watching me or someone like me through that little camera hole we’ve got in our macbooks.
Hey, I’m not paranoid. I just keep a band-aid over that camera eye because I like the color of the band-aid.
Well, the sun is setting off there to the south, as it does in winter in these parts, whatever they told you otherwise.
“To be alive is to be misunderstood,” I say to Eva-Lynn with grim satisfaction at the close of day.
“No it isn’t,” she says agreeably.
Is she fantasizing, like me, about doing couples yoga, a torrid torso tangle of asanas? We hold hands and watch the city pass by. Moonrise is upon us.

Turkey’s Foreign Ministry blasted on Friday a statement by a senior U.N. aid official associating the safe zone to be established in northern Syria to Srebrenica genocide.
“We strongly condemn and totally reject the statement made by Panos Moumtzis, United Nations Regional Humanitarian Coordinator for the Syria Crisis, in which he relates the safe zone to be established in north-east Syria with the Srebrenica genocide,” ministry’s spokesperson Hami Aksoy said in a statement.
Speaking to reporters in Geneva on Monday, Moumtzis said: ”For us as the UN, the safe zone concept is one that we have a bitter history (with) and actually we never promote or encourage. We don’t think it is something that had worked for the UN, keeping in mind Srebrenica and what had happened in the past.”
Turkey’s reaction to “this irresponsible statement, in which the Regional Coordinator oversteps his limits, has already been conveyed to UN officials,” Aksoy said.
He stressed that Turkey made the utmost effort in order to prevent the Srebrenica genocide saying that it is “well known by a UN official coming from this region.”
Turkish public opinion was “highly sensitive on the Srebrenica genocide and thereby its abuse by a distorted mindset is utterly unacceptable,” he added.
The spokesperson also said: “The fact that the said person has not shown any sensitivity while the terror organization PYD/YPG has applied oppression and violence foremost against Kurds, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Arameans and all the people of the region, can also be seen as a manifestation of an unhealthy point of view”.
On Wednesday, Turkey launched Operation Peace Spring east of the Euphrates River in northern Syria to secure its borders and Syria’s territorial integrity by eliminating terrorist elements and to ensure the safe return of Syrian refugees.
Turkey has said the PKK terrorist group and its extension the YPG/PYD constitute the biggest threat to Syria’s future, jeopardizing the country’s territorial integrity and unitary structure.
Ankara has also stressed that supporting terrorists under the pretext of fighting Daesh is unacceptable.
Turkey has a 911-kilometer (566-mile) border with Syria and has long decried the threat from terrorists east of the Euphrates River and the formation of a “terrorist corridor” there.
Turkey plans to resettle two million Syrians in a 30-km (19-mile) wide proposed safe zone in Syria stretching from the Euphrates River to the Iraqi border, including Manbij. However, the presence of terror groups such as the PKK, PYD and YPG risk its formation.
Turkey has freed an area of 4,000 square km (1,544 square miles) in Syria from terrorist groups in two separate cross-border operations.
Since 2016, Turkey has conducted two major military operations in northwestern Syria — Operation Euphrates Shield and Operation Olive Branch — to eradicate threats from Daesh and the YPG, which is the Syrian branch of the PKK terrorist group.
The two operations were in line with the country’s right to self-defense borne out of international law, UN Security Council resolutions, especially no. 1624 (2005), 2170 (2014) and 2178 (2014), and under the right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter while being respectful of Syria’s territorial integrity.
During Operation Euphrates Shield, Turkish forces neutralized 3,060 Daesh terrorists.
Turkey has suffered greatly from Daesh attacks inside the country.
More than 300 people have been killed in attacks claimed by Daesh in Turkey, where the terrorist group has targeted civilians in suicide bombings and armed attacks in recent years.
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK – listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the European Union — has been responsible for the deaths of some 40,000 people, including women, children and infants.

Newham Mayor Sir Robin Wales remembers Holocaust Day
- Credit: Newham Council
This week in Newham we remembered victims of the Holocaust.
It is right that we gathered to commemorate such an atrocious and significant moment in our history and think about the lessons we must keep on learning.
Far smarter people than me have spent the past 70 years thinking about those lessons. There aren’t easy answers, because evil acts committed by ordinary people challenge the core of our understanding of who we are. We advertised our Holocaust Memorial Day event on posters around the borough. Someone chose to spray-paint words like ‘liars’ and ‘killer’ over four of those posters.
This outrageous, cowardly hate crime was an assault on the mutual respect which the vast majority of us share. It wasn’t freedom of speech, it was racist vandalism and we’re working with the police to bring the perpetrator to justice.
There are others who want to deny that the Holocaust happened. By denying, they want us to forget the lesson that we must always be on our guard against those who wish to divide us. That’s why we have to continue to fight against racism and anti-Semitism. We must celebrate and accept difference and never forget the common humanity and value which unites us. As a council we value all residents. When we spend your taxes, it’s to benefit everyone. It’s important people from different backgrounds get to know each other, share experiences, develop friendships and respect. We support activities that help people to mix, like the Mayor’s Newham Show and street parties. I want residents to be proud of their heritage, culture and beliefs. I want us to meet each other, get along and be able to live and work together. An event as awful as the Holocaust demands we remember, It demands that we affirm the value of every individual, and oppose those who want to divide us. More from Sir Robin

The most widely used and best validated diagnostic assessment is the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS), a semi-structured interactive assessment administered by a trained examiner. There are four modules, with the appropriate module selected according to the age and expressive language level of the person being assessed: module 1 is designed for young nonverbal children and module 4 for use with verbally fluent adolescents and adults. The examiner interacts with the child or adult in a number of developmentally appropriate tasks and scores specific behaviors according to prescribed criteria. Scores of key items from communication and social interaction domains contribute to a diagnostic algorithm. Cut-off scores indicate whether outcomes meet criteria for autism or autism spectrum (broadly mapping onto DSM and ICD definitions of core autism and PDD-NOS respectively). Currently, the diagnostic algorithm does not include scores of items relating to restricted, repetitive and stereotyped behaviors; therefore, a full clinical diagnosis must be supplemented by information from other sources.
The Autism Diagnostic Interview – Revised (ADI-R) is the most established autism-specific diagnostic interview and consists of 93 questions relating to current skills and behaviors, as well as in relation to how these behaviors were manifest at 4–5 years of age (or 'ever' in some cases). Scores from items in domains relating to communication, social interaction, repetitive and stereotyped behaviors and the age of onset contribute to an overall diagnostic algorithm total, yielding outcomes relating to DSM and ICD definitions of core autism only. The combined use of the ADOS and the ADI-R improve the accuracy and reliability of ASD diagnosis,[18,19] although, as it can take between 2 and 3 h to administer the ADI-R, this may be too time-consuming for many clinicians. Alternative diagnostic interviews include the Diagnostic Interview for Social and Communication Disorders (DISCO) and the Developmental, Dimensional and Diagnostic Interview (3di), both of which offer a broader range of diagnostic outcomes, although they are generally not any quicker to administer than the ADI-R. There is little evidence to distinguish between the various diagnostic interviews, but it is recommended that training in at least one of these methods combined with an understanding of ASD will lead to greater confidence in a diagnosis even if these instruments are not used every time.
Mazefsky and Oswald compared the diagnostic outcomes from the ADOS and the ADI-R with the consensus clinical diagnosis of a specialist clinic team, based on DSM-IV criteria. Diagnostic agreement with the team diagnosis was 77% with false-positives of 16% for both instruments, indicating a slight tendency to 'overdiagnose'. In clinical settings this over-identification is unproblematic, as expert judgment will moderate this and cases are less likely to be missed. In addition to assessments used for diagnosis, several assessments have been demonstrated to be useful for assessing cognitive and language abilities in children with, or suspected of having, an ASD.

Copyright Protection of a Logo
“God holds the copyright, as the sole author of life.”
Visual brand elements such as logos are protected under the law of copyright and also trade mark law. Copyright consists of exclusive rights to do acts in Australia with respect to a work for the duration of copyright in that creation. A copyright work does not need to achieve a high standard of quality in order to qualify for copyright protection of a logo. The right arises automatically and you do not have to register the right to obtain copyright protection in Australia.
The Full Court of the Federal Court in Elwood Clothing Pty Ltd v Cotton On Clothing Pty Ltd observed:
[There is] ” a body of case law, which establishes that (1) whether a work will be recognized as an artistic work such as a drawing is highly fact-specific, such that no bright-line rule can be drawn; and (2) the important principle in deciding whether the work is a “drawing” is whether the work at issue can be said to have a visual rather than “semiotic” function.; at
A business logo is relevant to protecting the visual identity of a sign in the market. For example, the visual identity in Nike Swoosh which is a check mark that is fluid and signifies movement and speed. Another example is the three stripes of Adidas which are meant to convey diversity and the international appeal of the brand symbolizing the land masses of North America, Europe and Asia.
Ownership of Copyright
Ownership of a logo lies with the creator of the work. If you have your logo designed by an independent contractor or designer, it is important that you have the copyright in the logo transferred to you as generally the copyright owner has standing to start legal proceedings for infringement. A verbal agreement does not transfer ownership and you will need to obtain an assignment of that right in writing.
Differences between Trade Mark and Copyright
Trade Mark is what distinguishes your products or services from your competitors. It is not just a “logo” and can be a letter, number, word, phrase, sound, smell, shape, logo, picture, movement, aspect of packaging, or a combination of these. The purpose of trade mark protection is for you to obtain the exclusive right to use, license and sell the mark or “sign”. Remember, a trade mark is not a business name, company name or domain name but is a sign which is capable of distinguishing goods or services of one trader from those of other traders. The essential function of a trade mark is to designate the origin of goods or services to show your customers who you are. You should secure your brand assets through trade mark registration. Our Trademark Lawyer in Sydney is ready to Guide your for Registration of Trademark in Sydney
Copyright protects the form or expression of “creative assets” by granting creators and copyright owners the exclusive rights to reproduce or adapt their work in material form and to publish, perform and communicate their work to the public. It is a creation produced by a person’s skills and labour and protects the expression of an idea or concept, giving the creator of an original work exclusive rights to it. There is no requirement to register copyright. It is an automatic right.
- The creator of a logo automatically owns the copyright in it.
- If you commission a designer or independent contractor to design your logo, obtain an assignment in writing to secure fully copyright intellectual property ownership.
- A logo can be protected under the laws of copyright Protection of a logo and also trade mark law.
- Register your logo and other trade marks to safeguard your brand from trade mark infringement.

is a criminal organization based in Calabria, Italy. Since the late 1990s, the group has become one of the most powerful crime organizations of Italy and in the world and it maintains a “heavy presence” in Canada.
A joint investigation by the Toronto Star
and CBC's French-language investigative program Enquête
found that the ‘Ndrangheta has infiltrated many facets of society from the political realm to the manufacturing sector.
Enquête spoke with former RCMP chief superintendent Ben Soave, who led anti-mafia initiatives in the province until 2004. He stated that the ‘Ndrangheta has become more of a problem in Ontario and even has more of a corruption issue than in Quebec.
“They're probably more active than in Quebec from political figures to law enforcement to people in the criminal justice system, to the manufacturing industries, they've done that,” said Soave. “They have the same problem, the same corruption. They have the same organized crime groups operating here. Devastating as they are in Quebec, but they're much lower profile.”
Sources told Enquête host Alain Gravel that the ‘Ndrangheta maintains a lower profile in Ontario than its neighbour to the east because in Quebec there are dead bodies on the streets and in Ontario there is a lot of money.
Meanwhile, Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty, speaking at the International Plowing Match in Ayr, Ontario Tuesday, doubts that there is any legitimacy to these ground-breaking allegations and if there is the RCMP shouldn’t do it through the media.
“If there are some serious and warranted allegations they need to be made in a substantive way, not through the media. The first time I hear about this is through the media. And I would expect that people in positions of responsibility among our police services would be drawing this to our attention at the earliest possible opportunity,” said the Ontario premier.
“I have no reason to believe that they would want to keep this quiet and confidential if, in fact, this is grounded in reality. I would think they would have approached us in a constructive way some time ago. If there’s some truth to this, then let’s get it on the table. Provide us with the background to this.”
Despite the premier’s doubts, Valentina Tenti, an Italian mafia expert, testified Tuesday at the Charbonneau inquiry
that the ‘Ndrangheta maintains a substantial presence in the country, especially in Thunder Bay and Toronto. Furthermore, Jacques Duchesneau, a former police chief, also said that more than two-thirds of political funding has been done “improperly.”
The Globe and Mail
reports that Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak and New Democratic Party leader Andrea Horwath are concerned over these reports and believe these must be taken seriously.
“That’s an allegation that I think we have to take very seriously, and it’s quite concerning,” said Horwath. “I would hope that if anybody has any information that corroborates that suspicion, that they come forward and let the public know and let the politicians know, let the government know, let the police know, let the OPP know what they know in terms of any particular individuals.”
During his business mission in Chicago
, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford was asked by CBC News
regarding the accusations and said he was unaware of the report and that he has never been approached by the mafia.

Bruno Falcon, a legendary break dancer and choreographer known by his stage name “Pop N Taco,” has died. He was 58
Falcon passed away Saturday, according to a message posted this weekend on his Facebook fan page.
“Bruno was an incredible, kind and generous man. He always had that smile that lights up our hearts every moment. A unique and incredible talent,” the post said. “He will forever be the greatest dancer of history, with Michael Jackson. We are all thinking of Bruno’s family and sending them all our love. Bruno “Pop N’ Taco” Falcon is the king.”

Falcon’s sister, Diana Wolgamott, told Los Angeles news station KABC-TV that Falcon died of natural causes, possibly from a heart attack, at his home in Long Beach.
The dancer was one of the stars of the 1984 movie Breakin’ alongside rapper and actor Ice-T, who paid tribute to Falcon on Twitter.
“He was way too young,” Ice-T tweeted Sunday.
Falcon was Michael Jackson’s longtime breakdancing teacher and appeared in the King of Pop’s “Smooth Criminal” music video, performing the gravity defying “tilt” move. Falcon is said to be the creator of the technique.
According to his IMDb page, his other acting credits included the film Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey (1991) and the TV series Benson.

Bottoms up for Happy Hour
Happy Hour this week was brought to you by the Mayor of Toronto and Canberra's invasion of migrating moths
Things got a little cheeky on the panel this week when comedian Chris Ryan, musician Chris Endry (Fun Machine) and Happy Hour newcomer Meg O'Connell from ANU Arts Revue took on Unfinished Quizness.
In the role of House Band Tim Maloney and Reid Workman from Trick Winter returned with a new member, pianist Ross Buchanan and they had the panel a tad stumped with their songs for Unfinished Quizness.
And Ian Smith who was best known for playing the bumbling but lovable Harold Bishop on Neighbours took on the Triple Six 6.
If you missed the show because you were out enjoying an actual Happy Hour you can listen to the full show right here.

Pupils and staff have returned to Canford for the new academic year to a brand new library and Assembly Hall complex.
Distinctions in Music Examinations for Canfordians
At the end of the busy Easter Term, where the musicians had given many superb concerts including a major performance at ‘Lighthouse’, Poole, nearly 50 pupils also managed to find the time to prepare for and complete an external music exam. Among the many successes were distinctions for all three Upper Sixth pupils who took the challenging ABRSM diploma.
With only about 200 people in the country entering this demanding performance qualification, this exceptional level of achievement is a reflection of much hard work that these pupils put into the preparations for their exams, as well as of their considerable talents. Grace Gammell and Honor Hornsby took their diplomas as singers, and Emilia Davies on the clarinet. All three are music scholars at Canford, and two of them will be going on to read Music at University.
An additional success came to Honor, who also learnt over the Easter holiday that she has been awarded the Vice-Chancellor’s Music Scholarship at Durham University. This prestigious award recognises her achievements to date and the important contribution she will go on to make at university next year. If this weren’t enough, both Honor and Grace will be entering a second diploma examination in June, Honor on the trumpet and Grace on the clarinet.
1 in 3 of all graded music exams were passed at distinction level, including an exceptionally high mark of 142/150 for Fifth Form ‘cellist, Ben Evans, who added this to the Grade 8 distinction he has already gained on the saxophone. Another 25% of results were at merit level. The future for our highest level achievement looks very encouraging too, with 13 exams taken at Grade 7 and 10 at Grade 6 level.
In concert performances, we were delighted to hear the National Youth Orchestra’s broadcast performance on Radio 3 over Easter, with Canfordian Samuel Hopkins playing in their double bass section. Concerts at Canford are open to all and there is a chance to hear all three diploma successes alongside many other talented musicians performing in the summer concerts at the end of term. Details can be found on the school website at www.canford.com/Book-Events
Christopher Sparkhall, Director of Music, commented:
“Music at Canford is truly thriving. There is such a depth and spread of talent in the school at the moment, from Shells through to Sixth Form, and a real sense of excitement and challenge within our orchestras, smaller music groups and choirs. I congratulate all those who successfully passed external music exams last term, and look forward to hearing them perform at various concerts in the coming weeks.”
Music scholarships are offered at both 13+ and 16+ entry. For more information about Music at Canford please visit www.canford.com/Music

EU referendum: Remain 'doom and fear not being believed'
Vote Leave campaigners have described a joint event in which Prime Minister David Cameron and First Minister Carwyn Jones urged voters to back remaining in the EU as a sign of desperation.
On a joint visit to British Gas offices in Cardiff, Mr Cameron said the referendum campaign was very close with many people genuinely undecided.
Mr Jones said Britain had to be "on the pitch" for the world to take notice.
But Conservative AM Mark Isherwood, who wants a Brexit vote, said that opinion polls suggested that the Remain side were losing the argument.

TRENTON, NJ – According to the Trentonian, a city firefighter is facing charges after he struck a woman crossing the street while he was intoxicated.
Bryan Davis, a 2017 recruit, hit a 57-year-old female with his vehicle near the 400 block of Greenwood Avenue at approximately 2:30 a.m. on February 8. Davis was charged by summons on May 29.
The woman suffered serious injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital with multiple broken bones, which required surgery.
Authorities waited for the results of a blood-alcohol test before they brought charges of assault by auto, driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, and careless driving.
Davis’s blood alcohol level was found to be .11 following the accident, which is higher than the state’s .08 legal level of intoxication.

Pro-Life Marches, Media Agendas and The Greatest Need in America!
I read an article that gave the links to around twenty other news agencies that were reporting on a Pro-Life rally. All but one of the articles linked had the exact same story written out. There was some effort to tweak the details but it was obvious that there was a certain national agenda being played out. Then you look at the byline and all but one agency got their agenda driven source from the associated press. Here is what you will find in almost every case. The article can be found HERE.
CBS-San-Francisco reports “Anti-Abortion Protesters March Through San Francisco.”
“Anti-abortion demonstrators have marched through downtown San Francisco in an annual event that coincides Saturday with the city’s anti-Trump Women’s March. Organizers say they have coordinated so the two events occur at different times of the day.”
The Cloned media coverage of this Rally is what should be the news here. These people exercised the Constitutional Right to “Peaceably Assemble” They did exactly that and not one video has emerged that shows radical demonstrators shouting death to whoever. Not one time did these people destroy property and demand that America bow down and submit or more riots would happen.
These people were standing for all women’s rights including the women in the womb who are being murdered be the other crowd, as they seek their feminist agenda. But like I said the real news is the “fake news” that this article links to. If you follow the links to all but one of the news sources, you will find that there is only one narrative that is acceptable. Only one opinion is being pushed in these “fake news” media outlets and that agenda is as always slanted to favor those poor oppressed women who are losing their rights under those evil dictators. Oh, and it just so happens that those dictators have blind followers who are anti-abortion. Oh, the horror! Can you imagine the travesty, nay, the plight of these oppressed women who just want to be free to do what they want with their bodies?
They just want to live in peace and be free to judiciously exercise the same rights that men have? But wait, is that really so? Do men have the right to pay someone to slaughter their children if they make that choice to reject them? I believe that this country only gives the right to murder an unborn child to a mother, thereby making her a murderer. But only a man would be charged criminally if he did the same thing these poor oppressed women are fighting for.
SO why the narrative? Why the agenda? Why is it that nearly every news agency is pushing an identical story? The answer is simple, Hate! They have joined in the hate that has manifest in this nation for life. Statistically speaking, more women are murdered in the womb worldwide than men. Speaking of statistics, this nation assists in the murder of more black Americans at abortion clinics than any other ethnic people groups, Thanks to Margaret Sanger the founder of Planned Parenthood who sought to wipe out the Black American community because she was a vile racist. We live in a socialistic society driven by hate, and what they hate the most is having their particular depravity exposed or challenged.
Here is a quote from the Queen of Death, Margaret Sanger herself.
Woman, Morality, and Birth Control. New York: New York Publishing Company, 1922. Page 12.
“We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”
They demand that equal rights for all women are afforded to all women! Except those who disagree with the at will murder of the unborn, and the rights that unborn women must also be afforded, namely life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Hillary Clinton, a proud supporter of Sanger stated babies in the womb are not protected under the Constitution, and that is what the Anti-Life protestors and “Fake News” outlets are compelled to push for under the guise of “women’s rights,” and “civil rights.”
The question that is not being answered or asked is “Does the demand for women’s rights extend to the women being murdered every day in the womb of mothers who demand the right to murder, not themselves, but the babies that are in the womb?”
It is a sad to see the media bias that won’t even honestly interview and report on what is actually happening in a given situation. It used to be called plagiarism to copy another person’s writings verbatim without attributing that person’s work. But in this case, I doubt that all these agencies really want it exposed that they are following a narrative that is being driven be the socialist elites who are trying to drive the opinions and beliefs of this nation. I doubt that the actual author wants it to be known that the reason all these agencies articles are almost perfectly identical is that they so vehemently hate any group that is willing to stand for the life that they know is made in the image of God.
This agenda is not about the rights of women to access “health care,” and it’s certainly not about “gender equality.” This agenda is about destroying the moral fabric of this nation by deeply entrenching its citizens in the wickedness and depravity of murdering our own children or silently supporting such murders. And the net result is a nation of people who do not wholly lean upon the Lord and do not have any blessings as a people.
We will never be “One Nation Under God,” and God will not truly “Bless America” unless America shakes off the agenda of the Socialist Progressive Liberal mindset and agrees with the Lord that we are a sin filled and wicked people who have done wickedly in the sight of the Lord. America will never truly see God’s blessing until we the people fall on our faces and repent of our national sin and rebellion against The Lord we speak of when we say “God Bless America.”
There is a national agenda to indoctrinate America’s people so that they never will come to a broken and contrite heart of repentance before the Lord, and that is why you constantly see the national media pushing the “pro-choice” “pro-feminism” “pro-socialism” agenda’s. That is why patriotism and rule of law and holding to a historical understanding of what made this nation great is so abhorrent to people who hate God and everything America once stood for. The only hope for that to change, the only way to “Make America Great Again” is for the people of this nation to fall on their knees and repent.
And just so there is no doubt how we start, God says that Judgment begins at the house of the Lord 1 Peter 4:17. America’s Christians need to repent of not heeding God’s Word and of following the leadership of hirelings.
John 10:12-13 warns about those who are supposed to be leading God’s people correctly and they love money more than God. They don’t care for God’s people, His sheep, and so when God’s enemies sneak into the church and hurt God’s people with their false teaching, they just silently watch it happen. “He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. 13“He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep.” As the Body of Christ, the Bride of Christ, the Church of Christ, we must lead the way in true repentance. We are called to be salt and light and to warn everyone of sin, righteousness and the judgment to come and that is the plea of compassion that we are sorely missing today. We are so desperately in need of laborers who will proclaim the gospel of the Kingdom of God.
As a nation who has truly been blessed by God because we once held to Biblical values, and honored God the Creator of Heaven and Earth as the One True and Living God whom we cherished and trusted to guide us by the light of His love. We must take a serious look at the direction we are heading in and we must see that everything we are pushing for, or silently allowing. All the agenda’s we are driving for are a direct result of a nation of people who has lost the light of the Gospel. We have truly lost our way when vulgarity and depravity are lauded and heralded in our society when violence is given room to vent itself when the murder of law enforcement is perpetrated and advocated in our streets, in our government policies, and forced upon our children. When racism is pushed from sea to shining sea. When those things God calls sin, are the very agenda’s that America hold’s to a virtuous, is it any wonder that the media would have an agenda to mischaracterize and slant its coverage of peaceful marches for the lives of unborn children.

Isaiah the Prophet said this: “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight! Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine and valiant men in mixing strong drink, who justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away the rights of the ones who are in the right!” Isaiah 5:20-23. We live in a nation that sees the warnings of God as a joke or a challenge to outdo what God calls wickedness and depravity, and it is time to call for a national day of prayer and fasting and mourning and repentance. It is time for the preachers to stand in the pulpits and proclaim the Truth again, and to call for a cleansing of the church and for judgment, to begin with, us. It is time for Christians to stand up and go out into all the nations and make disciples in obedience to the Lords Great Commission.
I am praying for Repentance starting with me, will you join me?

Japan has put its military on alert for a possible North Korean ballistic missile launch after indications it is preparing for a test firing, two people with direct knowledge of the order said on Friday.
“Increased activity at North Korea’s missile site suggests that there may be a launch in the next few weeks,” said one of the sources, both of whom declined to be identified because they are not authorized to talk to the media.
Tension rose in East Asia this month after North Korea’s fourth nuclear test, this time of what it said was a hydrogen bomb.
A missile test coming so soon after the nuclear test would raise concern that North Korea plans to fit nuclear warheads on its missiles, giving it the capability to launch a strike against rival South Korea, Japan and possibly targets as far away as the U.S. West Coast. Read More

I was licking the envelope when my older daughter came into the kitchen. “Who’s the letter for?” she wondered.
I told her it was for Miss Amanda, her former preschool teacher who was also her babysitter six years ago.
My daughter didn’t remember Miss Amanda, but I did. In fact, I would never forget her. There I was in a new city with a new baby, a toddler, and a traveling husband. Amanda would come to our house a few hours a week and play with the children. I remember feeling quite homesick and alone, yet incredibly grateful for this young lady with gentle hands and a hearty laugh who was able to give me a reprieve.
“Amanda helped me through a very hard time when you and your sister were little,” I explained. “And now, I want to help her. She and her husband are trying to raise money to bring home their baby from Uganda.”
“Can anyone help—or is it just for adults?” my child asked.
When I told her anyone could donate, she literally ran to get her wallet. She returned looking very sad. Much to her dismay, all that was left of her recent birthday money was one single dollar bill.
My daughter didn’t hide her look of anguish. “A dollar isn’t much,” she concluded sadly.
I held my breath. This child is my giver—the one who thinks nothing of giving decorated rocks or pretty seashells as gifts or offering her own favorite trinkets to sick friends. I was going be heartbroken if she put the dollar back in her wallet, embarrassed to give such a small amount. I hoped societal influences hadn’t already altered her uninhibited way of giving that had greatly impacted my own offerings in years past.
“Do you think a dollar will make a difference?” she asked skeptically.
I knew my answer had to be convincing. Just having turned ten, my child was quite aware of what things cost—and I suspected she knew that adopting a baby was very costly.
“Imagine if everyone Amanda knew gave one dollar,” I proposed.
My child could do the math. Her eyebrows rose with interest.
“Plus, receiving a note of support from a child she used to babysit might mean even more to Amanda than money considering what she’s going through,” I added.
Apparently, my response was sufficient. My daughter grabbed a note card, jotted a message, inserted her dollar, and stuck the notecard in an envelope. After addressing it herself, she carried it out to the mailbox.
A few weeks passed before we heard anything about the dollar donation. Surprisingly, Amanda posted the following message and photo on a social media site:
“I received a sweet letter from a child I used to babysit. It said, ‘I hope this money will help to adopt the child,’ and there was $1 included. It still brings tears to my eyes thinking about the compassion in sweet Natalie’s heart! If she only knew the difference she was making in people’s lives! Because of her sweet gift, I want to see how many people would participate in Natalie’s Dollar Challenge to ‘help adopt the child.’”
Extremely touched by Amanda’s idea, I shared her photo with my friends and within just a few hours, Amanda wrote to inform me that $300 dollars had been raised. I immediately printed Amanda’s message and showed it to Natalie the next morning.
“Remember when you asked if a dollar could make a difference?” I asked. “Take a look,” I said handing her the note.
As my daughter read Amanda’s words, the most radiant smile appeared on her face. “Amanda is now three hundred steps closer to holding her baby in her arms,” she said excitedly.
As I looked at my grown girl happily imagining a mother being united with her child, I suddenly felt an overwhelming peace about a worry that had haunted me for almost ten years.
When my daughter was six-months-old, one of her favorite activities was to be danced around the room by her dad. We quickly learned by her enthusiastic hand gestures that “Calling All Angels” by Train was her preferred song.
When her dad would make angel wings actions with her little arms, she would laugh hysterically. This, in turn, would make my husband and I laugh.
But inside I was dying—dying because the lyrics of the song touched on every fear I was feeling as a new parent.
“I need a sign to let me know you’re here
All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere
I need to know that things are gonna look up
‘Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup
When there is no place safe and no safe place to put my head
When you feel the world shake from the words that are said
And I’m calling all angels
I’m calling all you angels
I won’t give up if you don’t give up
I need a sign to let me know you’re here
‘Cause my TV set just keeps it all from being clear
I want a reason for the way things have to be
I need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me
And I’m calling all angels
I’m calling all you angels
I won’t give up if you don’t give up.”
After the birth of my daughter, it seemed like the evening news was more disturbing than ever before. It seemed like there were more child abductions, more bombings, more killings, more sadness, more despair.
This is no place to raise a child, I thought to myself several times a day—to the point I wondered what kind of world my husband and I had brought our child into. As I held my sleeping baby, I wondered if there would be any hope left in this world for her.
And now ten years later, I finally had my answer.
Standing in front of me was the hope I had been looking for—I had just been looking at it all wrong.
Angels are not divinely perfect beings dressed in billowy white gowns spreading good will just above our heads.
Angels are imperfect human beings who lose their shoes several times a day, overindulge on chocolate milk, and tend to get cranky when they don’t get enough sleep.
Angels are freckle-faced darlings who dip their steak in ketchup and absentmindedly leave the car door wide open when they come home from practice.
And if societal influences don’t get to them first, these pint-sized angels give to others with no reservations and no inhibitions. If they see someone who needs help, they help. When they see someone facing a mountainous challenge, they don’t see the impossible; they see steps. And they are willing to take the first one—even if it seems small and insignificant.
These disheveled angels among us know hope doesn’t come in the form of six-figure checks or expensive packages with gold bows. They know hope comes in hand-written notes with misplaced commas and poor penmanship. They know hope comes in the form of small, loving gestures that inspire others to act in kind.
In one definitive moment, ten years worth of fear subsided and my hope for the future swelled. All at once, the world didn’t look so scary for my child who looks more and more each day like she needs me less and less.
As long as a child’s single dollar bill can bring a loving couple three hundred steps closer to bringing home their baby, there is hope.
So let us not get caught up in the dangers of the world that are beyond our control.
Let us refuse to believe there is nothing we can do to bring goodness into a troubled and complicated world.
Let us not allow societal influences to dictate how much we give, what we give, or who we give it to.
If in this sometimes dark and hurting world a ten-year-old child with skinned knees and overgrown toenails can be an angel, there is hope for us all.
Because it is our children, with their beautifully uninhibited hearts, that hold all the hope this world needs.
Let us not give up.
Natalie and I would be grateful if you (and any members of your family) could take 60 seconds and place a dollar in an envelope and address it to: Amanda Campbell 300 N. 38th Avenue, Apt. #13, Hattiesburg, MS 39401. (There is also additional information about the adoption on their site.) Thank you for taking time to read today’s post that can potentially help our friend Amanda and her husband get one step closer to the 15,000 steps needed. Please share this with anyone you think might be interested in helping.
As always, I welcome your thoughts and experiences in the comment section below. Each week, the comment section of this blog serves as a reminder that we are not alone in our struggles and triumphs to find meaningful human connection despite the challenges and distractions of life. I am grateful for each and every one of you, my friends of The Hands Free Revolution.

Chris Olave stunned the college football world on Monday when he announced his plan to return to Ohio State for his senior season.
Widely considered to be a first round prospect in the upcoming 2021 NFL Draft, the Buckeyes wideout’s decision came as a bombshell to both college programs and professional organizations. Olave built upon his elite sophomore season in 2020, racking up 50 receptions, 729 yards and seven touchdowns in only seven games in 2020. Over his three years in Columbus, the star wideout has totaled 1,766 receiving yards and 22 scores.
Nonetheless, Olave will re-join Ryan Day’s program as the Buckeyes try to make another run at a National Championship.
“There are so many great memories but we’re not done yet. I’ll be returning for my senior year at Ohio State,” Olave tweeted on Monday evening.
The college football world couldn’t contain its excitement (or in some cases, dismay) at the receiver’s announcement. Take a look at some of the reactions to Olave’s shocking news:
Ohio State WR Chris Olave – one of the top draft eligible wideouts – is returning to school. A huge boost for the Buckeyes.
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) January 18, 2021
— Clay Hall (@claywsyx6) January 18, 2021
Ohio State WR Chris Olave will return to school in 2021 and won't enter the Draft. That's pretty big.

Massive news for Ohio State's 2021 offense: Chris Olave is staying for one more year. https://t.co/4ABhZVxynH
— Dan Hope (@Dan_Hope) January 18, 2021
There are worse situations for a new starting quarterback to walk into than Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, Jeremy Ruckert, all of those freshmen receivers and an offensive line that will feature a four-year starter at left tackle.
— Bill Landis (@BillLandis25) January 18, 2021
Ohio State’s offense will stay loaded heading into 2021, despite the departure of star quarterback Justin Fields. Olave will return to a stellar receiving corps highlighted by Garrett Wilson, Jeremy Ruckert and Jaxon Smith-Nijgba. Whoever lines up under center for the Buckeyes should consider themselves fortunate, as their job shouldn’t be too difficult.
Despite his impressive individual success, Olave hasn’t gotten the chance to hoist a national championship trophy at Ohio State. The Buckeyes fell just one win short of a title in 2020, which could’ve sparked the wide receiver’s hunger for the ultimate prize. With his return, Ohio State should be well suited to compete once again in 2021.
Although it’s far too early for a preseason poll, Olave and the Buckeyes should be up near the top when the season begins next fall.
