Dweck, July 18, 2013 (sent for review January 19, 2013) Significance The present research provides critical new findings about the role of glucose ingestion in self-control and cognitive performance. It argues against the popular view that self-control depends on a limited physiological resource (blood glucose) that is depleted by even brief acts of self-control and is restored by glucose consumption.

I made this presentation for an assembly a couple of years ago.
I have since discovered several identical versions on the internet.. but this was my effort. The point of the assembly is obvious enough. Although it has spawned a continuing stream of ‘animal analogy’ or goose-themed gags from my students ever since, the messages are clear: teamwork, taking your turn at the front, supporting your peers, being encouraging – it all pays dividends. Part time priest: Climate change: funny/not so funny. I thought Ian McEwan's 'Solar' (2010) would be a serious book about a serious subject: global warming.
Then I started reading it. It was really funny at first. Hope On the Edge. Part time priest: How to be humble. Luke 14: 'When he noticed how the guests chose the places of honour, he told them a parable.
‘When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet, do not sit down at the place of honour, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited by your host; and the host who invited both of you may come and say to you, “Give this person your place”, and then in disgrace you would start to take the lowest place.But when you are invited, go and sit down at the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you, “Friend, move up higher”; then you will be honoured in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.
For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.’ Jesus noticed things, people. He was a people watcher. Pam's Perambulation. 15 Today I am giving you a choice. You can choose life and success or death and disaster. 16-18 I am commanding you to be loyal to the Lord, to live the way he has told you, and to obey his laws and teachings. You are about to cross the Jordan River and take the land that he is giving you. If you obey him, you will live and become successful and powerful. On the other hand, you might choose to disobey the Lord and reject him. WRITERS ON WRITING; Easy on the Adverbs, Exclamation Points and Especially Hooptedoodle - Page 2. 3. Never use a verb other than ''said'' to carry dialogue. The line of dialogue belongs to the character; the verb is the writer sticking his nose in.

The Preachers' Blog · Preaching as reality check. Giving the Sunday best This morning I was reading a blog post which deliberately caricatures the tradition of churchy politeness and Sunday best in order to make us think about the place of reality in Christian worship and preaching.
Whilst its description of ‘mincing niceness, all scrubbed up Sunday best image with its faux piety‘ may be overstated, the point was a good one. However, as I read it I was instantly whisked away from my computer to another time and another place. It was Sunday November 24th 1996, and I was just coming out of a prayer meeting in the vestry ready to lead worship and preach. As I did so, the leader of a key mission agency took me to one side and explained about a tragedy which had unfolded on the other side of the world.

'I have a dream': Your stories 50 years on. 16 August 2013Last updated at 10:01 ET This August it will be 50 years since the American civil rights leader Martin Luther King delivered his 'I have a dream' speech. What effect has that historic moment had on your life? Dr King grew up in Atlanta under a strict system of racial segregation, which he described in a televised interview for the BBC in 1963. On 28 August 1963 more than 200,000 Americans joined a march on Washington DC demanding equal justice for all citizens under the law.
On that day, the interracial crowd heard Martin Luther King deliver his famous speech, predicting a time when freedom and equality for all would become a reality in the US.
