On October 24-26 2014, The University of San Francisco invited parents and family to join the USF students for a fun Parents & Family Weekend on the Hilltop Campus.
This picture was taken on the night my baby was born. My wife lay on a bed beside me, enduring waves of pain — yet, despite her agony, she managed to capture this precious moment.
That night, January 23, changed my life forever. On the same day, I was promoted at work — and became a father. It felt as though the universe had given me everything at once. I was overwhelmed, speechless even.
I’ve never really known how to cherish moments of love, but when I first looked into my child’s face, I finally understood — nothing in this world brings greater peace than that.
I often heard my mother say, “I lived my life looking at my child’s face.” I never truly understood her words until that day. Parents give everything they have to their children, and in return, their children become their whole world.
Someday, this earth will keep turning as it always has — but the cycle of parents and children, of love and life, will go on just the same.
May all children be well.
May all parents be blessed.
Using the sports of Basketball and Volleyball this pilot initiative seeks to study the viability and effects of a formal interscholastic middle school athletics program by providing a structured environment that instills self-discipline, builds self-confidence, fosters quality relationships and boosts school pride and improves student attendance, behavior, coursework and grades, including promoting active lifestyles and addressing childhood obesity which has more than doubled in children and quadrupled in adolescents in the past 30 years.
Following the High School athletics model, participating student-athletes are required to: (1) maintain a 2.0 GPA with no F grades and submit to regular grade checks, (2) submit a Department of Education (DOE) Student Participation and Parent/Guardian Consent, Release and Assumption of Risk Form, (3) submit a DOE Physical Examination for Athletes Form, and (4) attend a Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) workshop with their parent or guardian. Coaches will also attend a PCA workshop.
All 8 DOE Maui District middle/intermediate schools are participating: Maui Waena Intermediate School, Kalama Intermediate School, Lahaina Intermediate School, Molokai Middle School, Lanai High and Elementary School, Lokelani Intermediate School, Hana High and Elementary School, and Iao Intermediate School.

Parents always heart for their babies. They want to give them the best no matter how hard to work for it, they will not hesitate to offer it.
Have you show your love to your parents today?
As a parent, it can be hard to tell if you’re doing right by your kids. Beautiful moments like these, however, make it clear that you’re doing something right!

TLC Denia ofrece una serie de actividades socio culturales semanalmente. El objetivo es que los alumnos se conozcan entre ellos, practiquen el idioma y se familiaricen con el entorno y su cultura.
The Language Centre carries out a series of activities every week, which are programmed fifteen days in advance.
The plan of activities are reflected in three specific alternatives:
Cultural activities (painting exhibitions, photographic shows, concerts, visiting our castle and its museums...); sports activities (paddle surf, beach volleyball, hiking, sailing...) or just leisure time and relaxation (a welcome cocktail party, tapa hopping, gastronomic tours and a special party programme).
Once a month, an “inter-cultural encounter” is held, among the different students, Spanish and non-Spanish, in order to encourage a more authentic view of Spain and create a suitable every day linguistic environment.
After moving in their students, parents were invited to join Dr. Rob Pearigen, Millsaps College president, for a complimentary luncheon. Staff members in Student Life, Admissions, and the Business Office were present to answer questions about life at Millsaps.

The Mount Pleasant Beech Church and Beech Cemetery was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on September 4, 2018. The Beech Church, c.1865, is a single-room, gable-front wood-frame building with weatherboard siding and details reflecting a vernacular adaptation of the Greek Revival style. The Beech Cemetery is typical of rural Indiana cemeteries established in the early-to-mid-nineteenth century, with burials arranged in rows and a wide range of stone grave markers in various styles popular between the 1830s and the 1900s. These resources are the last remaining community landmarks of the Beech Settlement and offer a unique connection to Indiana’s African American heritage.
The Mount Pleasant Beech Church congregation built its first log church on the property in 1838 and the earliest identified burial in the Beech Cemetery dates from c.1838. The Beech Church remained a significant religious and community institution and landmark within the Beech Settlement into the 1910s. The latest identified burial in the Beech Cemetery dates from 1907.
Since 1914, descendants of the settlers of the Beech Settlement have returned to the Beech Church for a reunion each August. Through this annual gathering, the Beech Church and Beech Cemetery have remained significant landmarks critical for maintaining the continuing cultural identity of the Beech Settlement’s descendants. As one of the last surviving sites associated with a rural African American community in Indiana, the Beech Church and Beech Cemetery offer a unique connection to a critical aspect of the state’s history and a dimension of the Hoosier experience distinct from that of Euro-Americans during the same period.
The Beech Church is also significant in the area of religious history, as it was the site of the establishment of the Indiana Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in 1840. This marked a significant phase of the growth of the denomination as Americans moved westward during the nineteenth century. As the first A.M.E. Church in Indiana, the Beech Church served as a parent and precedent for numerous other congregations that would be formed throughout the state over the following decades. In addition to its religious significance, the A.M.E. Church was a key organization in the promotion of education for African Americans, creating educational opportunities when state law and white hostility prohibited the children of black taxpayers from attending Indiana’s public schools. For these reasons, the Beech Church provides a connection to local, state, and national history for the descendants of the Beech Settlement and for all Hoosiers.

Mount Pleasant Beech Church and Beech Cemetery
Here in the southern dome of the inner narthex, Christ Pantocrator is encircled by 24 of his ancestors, ranging from Adam to Jacob.
"Perched on a hill high above the old Jewish quarter of Balat, a stone's throw from the land walls of Theodosius, is the Kariye Museum, formerly the Church of St. Saviour in Chora. Among the most evocative of all the city's Byzantine treasures, it is thought to have been built in the early 12th cent. on the site of a much older church far from the centre: hence 'in Chora', meaning 'in the country'. /B/ 1316 and 1321, the polymath statesman, scholar, philosopher and patron of the arts Theodore Metochites rebuilt the central dome and added the narthexes, the parecclesion and the stunning mosaics and frescoes which adorn both them and the nave. He was buried in the funerary chapel of the church in 1331, and is depicted in one mosaic offering a model of the church to a seated Christ, while wearing a turban-like hat called a 'skiadon'. (RG)
- Biblical narrative sequences depicted in the series of mosaics include the Infancy of Christ with the 'Enrolment for Taxation' and the 'Massacre of the Innocents'; Christ's Ministry incl. the Miracle at Cana, Christ healing a leper, and Christ healing St. Peter's mother-in-law; and The Life of the Virgin Mary (based on the apochryphal gospel of St. James) incl. 'The 1st 7 steps of the Virgin', 'the Virgin caressed by her parents', and 'Zacharias praying before the Rods of the Suitors'. One large fresco, 'The Deesis', depicts Christ with his mother and 2 benefactors, Isaac (who built the church in the 12th cent.) and a female described in the inscription as 'Lady of the Mongols, Melane the Nun'. (RG)
- The frescoes in the funerary chapel are very famous. "Contemporary with Giotto, they seem to have more in common with the early Renaissance than the stylized paintings of the earlier Byzantine period." Of the 30 scenes depicted, the largest by far and most spectacular is the Resurrection, "aka the Harrowing of Hell or, in Greek, the Anastasis. Christ dramatically tramples the gates of Hell underfoot and forcibly drags Adam and Eve from their tombs. Satan lies among the broken fetters at his feet, writhing while bound at the ankles, wrists and neck." (RG)
- I spent a few hours or more poring over all the many intricate details, trying to take it all in, as is my wont, with a guidebook in hand that I bought in the little gift-shop there. "Wow" I said.
Update Aug. 2020: I was almost indifferent when Erdogan announced that Hagia Sofia would reopen to worship for local Muslims as a mosque, seeing as access to the interior for non-Muslims and tourists wouldn't be limited significantly as a result, or so I'd read. But the reconversion of this jewel (now a museum), announced in the last couple of days, is nuts. The interior is covered in some of the best Byzantine-era Christian art anywhere, and there are more than 10 mosques in this part of town with no perceived need for another. The next impulse will be to cover these famous mosaics and frescoes up. (I'll scan and upload some more shots I took in here sometime.)
- Further update Oct. 2020: english.alaraby.co.uk/english/news/2020/10/28/turkeys-lat... See? He went and covered these treasures up. Btw, I don't see Erdogan as a renegade. All that chest-thumping can only be theatre when he's been so good to 'the West' as to facilitate a conduit for ISIS and a stream of international salafists to invade and destabilize northern Syria. Actions speak out loud in international politics, words not so much. He's had no cause for any beef with Assad. They were on friendly terms, their wives were friends. The reconversion of this famous jewel-box of a church is just distracting theatre for his base and for the rest of us.
