Re: Oh Dear Ryback... [the botches]
I made up Dryback just because it's somewhat of an overused gimmick, I don't straight up hate him though (I don't hate anyone), I do believe he has some type of potential and maybe something great can happen.
All in all I'm honestly not overly judgmental, the publicity about him shows he is going places, the only question that should be asked is 'for how long?'

Remember when I shared my vintage sunflower seed packet reproduction a few weeks ago?
And remember how I mentioned that I wanted to make a pumpkin seed packet sign too? Well, I finally got around to it last week! You may have seen a preview of it on facebook if you follow Circa Dee there.
I am always on the hunt for old boards and wood that will make a good canvas. In this case, I used an antique playpen. This sucker was heavy for an on-the-go mom!
Some of you may cringe when you realize I disassembled this into 6 pieces. But this playpen was really not functional or safe in the ‘as is’ state anymore so doesn’t it make more sense to upcycle the wood into something new?
The side rails make the perfect towel display rack (more about that another time). That leaves the bottom pieces. There were 2 sets of slatted wood with hinges on the side and a finger hole where you’d close the playpen from.
One of those bottom pieces created the canvas for the large pumpkin seed packet. I liked the raw wood and left it unpainted in some areas to give a rustic, timeworn autumn feel to this piece.
This is the actual seed packet that was the inspiration for this sign. I modified the colors and made them a bit abstract in my version. I used latex and chalk paints – mostly custom mixed colors. Then clear waxed all of it with some dark wax over the pumpkin.
I particularly like how the slatted wood broke up the image a bit.
I still think the sunflower sign is my favorite though. Although I do enjoy the rustic feel of the pumpkin sign. I have another, smaller reclaimed wood board devoted to the autumn vintage seed packet collection. Any votes on what seed you’d like to see next? I’m stumped!
P.S. Did you guys know that our shop is open this weekend and we are fully stocked with Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint? Come check out what the craze is about!

I learnt some days ago that there are softwares on how to Improve your English Speaking.
Just like the one on English Speaking Tips website.
The software is made by an MBA graduate , a Chinese immigrant. It has a lot of features, including videos of how a mouth moves and etc. A truly fascinating software. What is more amazing is that it offers a free trial, so people can try out the software before deciding.
Again, if you are looking for Spoken English Tutorial then wait one week before you get a new article.
Something very awesome is about to happen.
I have also been surfing Internet Forums a lot lately and there seem to be a lot of people really anxious about getting admitted to a US university. Yes, it is a pain indeed, when you send your documents and have to entirely depend on some another dude’s approval of you.
I personally don’t like it, although I already took the English exams like GRE and TOEFL. Actually, I’ve beat the English Speaking section on TOEFL for almost perfect score. 28/30, can you guys believe it? Yup!🙂
Anyway, my advice would you to not worry. It is all about the journey. You guys focus too much on results. It is all about the journey.
So what I advice you is that DO take the English exams like GRE and TOEFL and then apply to your dream university. Expect it to be hard, but if you really want to accomplish it – you will. God will help you🙂.

Your laugh-muscles can use the work.
The release from laughing is always possible.
The thoughts that lead to laughs
can still be thought,
And some will be worth it to share,
Because we can't laugh too much.
May many laughs await.

Missouri mom allegedly assaults drug dealer trying to supply son with heroin
A Missouri mother is facing assault charges in a case where she allegedly struck a man she says was supplying her son with heroin, Fox 2Now reports.
Sherrie Gavan says she felt threatened during a conversation with the man. Gavan’s son Clayton is a teenager who got hooked on the drug while still attending high school. He tells the story so many do about trying to get clean.
“The first couple of times all you think about is it’s the greatest thing in the world,” he said in an interview. “There’s nothing better. And everybody thinks, ‘it’s not gonna happen to me. I can stop when I want.’ It starts with the good feeling, but then it gets to the point you’re sick when you’re not doing it. You’re throwing up constantly.”
His family got involved and tried to help him stop. He was sent to live with a relative for a while, and when he was at home he was kept under close watch by his parents. The family says a twenty year old man who lives nearby was providing him with heroin. They say he continually kept trying to bring Clayton back to the drug, in some cases, right under his parents nose.
“They came to my house,” Sherrie Gavan says. “They came to my work looking for him. Trying to get him to buy again when he was clean.”
Clayton says it made the already mountainous task of getting clean all the more difficult.
Sherrie Gavan claims the man aided Clayton in relapsing several times. She finally says she had enough in December and went to try and talk to him.
“I just wanted him to leave my son alone, and stay away from where I work and stay away from where we live,” she said.
In her statement to police she says during the conversation the man reached for something in his car.
Gavan is due in court on March 12.

This paper explores the protection of personality rights in Canada in two ways: first, by attempting to clarify the Canadian law on personality rights. The extent to which personality rights are protected across Canada is unclear, and the legal situation varies across the various Canadian jurisdictions. The second part of this paper focuses on explaining the theoretical basis for protecting personality rights. As will be seen by looking at the statutes, court judgments, and surrounding literature, there are mixed views about whether personality rights are rooted in principles of privacy, or whether they are of a proprietary nature. The theoretical foundation through which personality rights are protected will have a practical effect on some of the elements of their protection. Thus, this paper emphasized that in jurisdictions where personality rights have not been adequately addressed, the court or legislature will need to be clear on the theory to which they subscribe in order to determine the approach that will be taken in protecting these rights.

In July 2012, Hupy and Abraham's client was heading eastbound on Bluemound Road in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Another vehicle was heading the opposite direction on the same road and attempted a left turn. A camera from a nearby business recorded the crash and showed the other driver turning in front of our client, failing to yield the right of way.
Initially, the insurance company offered only $100,000. After fracturing her femur and breaking three ribs, our client had $90,000 in medical bills. Attorney Todd Korb secured a $250,000 settlement, more than double the initial offer.

The sudden and unexpected death of a previously healthy child is an event unexceeded in its capacity to induce feelings of tragedy, awe, and incomprehensibility.
Traumatic and accidental death excluded, the occurrence is rare enough so that when it happens the death always seems like a new and never before experienced event. A review of the literature,1-3 however, documents that there are regular and predictable causes, some of which are potentially preventable.
In considering this subject we should review what is meant by "sudden" and "unexpected." Sudden death has been defined as death occurring within minutes of the onset of the causative event to death, within an hour, and even to death within 24 hours of the final illness or episode.4
Unexpected has the implication that the person was considered to be in the prime of health.5 It has also included those individuals with known health problems

Herrera was seen out and about in Cheshire on Sunday afternoon as he took some down time following Manchester United’s thrilling 3-2 win over Manchester City.
The Red Devils came from two goals behind to earn a vital three points at the Etihad, with Paul Pogba bagging a double and Chris Smalling also scoring in the win.
However, Herrera didn’t look too chuffed despite being surrounded by friends after being accused of spitting on the City crest at half-time of the clash.
The Spanish midfielder was filmed appearing to spit on the City badge as he walked over it on his way down the tunnel, angering home fans.
Manchester United supporters have taken a more positive view of his actions, while Herrera himself has denied there was any intent and “is mortified at any suggestions that his actions were deliberate”.
Take a look through the gallery above to see the best pictures as Ander Herrera is spotted out and about after being accused of spitting on the Manchester City crest.

Chapter 2: Joram
2 Kings 6:24-7:17
24 Afterward Ben-hadad king of Syria mustered his entire army, and went up, and besieged Samaria. 25 And there was a great famine in Samaria, as they besieged it, until an ass’s head was sold for eighty shekels of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove’s dung for five shekels of silver. 26 Now as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, a woman cried out to him, saying, "Help, my lord, 0 king!" 27 And he said, "If the Lord will not help you, whence shall I help you? From the threshing floor, or from the wine press?" 28 And the king asked her, "What is your trouble?" She answered, "This woman said to me, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’ 29 So we boiled my son, and ate him. And on the next day I said to her, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him’; but she has hidden her son." 30 When the king heard the words of the woman he rent his clothes—now he was passing by upon the wall—and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth beneath upon his body—31 and he said, "May God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat remains on his shoulders today."
32 Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. Now the king had dispatched a man from his presence; but before the messenger arrived Elisha said to the elders, "Do you see how this murderer has sent to take off my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold the door fast against him. Is not the sound of his master’s feet behind him?" 33 And while he was still speaking with them, the king came down to him and said, "This trouble is from the Lord! Why should I wait for the Lord any longer?"
1 Elisha said, "Hear the word of the Lord: thus says the Lord, Tomorrow about this time a measure of fine meal shall be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria." 2 Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned1 said to the man of God, "If the Lord himself should make windows in heaven, could this thing be?" But he said, "You shall see it with your own eyes, but you shall not eat of it."
3 Now there were four men who were lepers at the entrance to the gate; and they said one to another, "Why do we sit here till we die? 4 If we say, ‘Let us enter the city,’ the famine is in the city, and we shall die there; and if we sit here, we die also. So now come, let us go over to the camp of the Syrians; if they spare our lives we shall live, and if they kill us we shall but die." 5 So they arose at twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians; but when they came to the edge of the camp of the Syrians, behold, there was no one there. 6 For the Lord had made the army of the Syrians hear the sound of chariots, and of horses, the sound of a great army, so that they said one to another, "Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Egypt to come upon us." 7 So they fled away in the twilight and forsook their tents, their horses, and their asses, leaving the camp as it was, and fled for their lives. 8 And when these lepers came to the edge of the camp, they went into a tent, and ate and drank, and they carried off silver and gold and clothing, and went and hid them; then they came back, and entered another tent, and carried off things from it, and went and hid them.
9 Then they said to one another, "We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news; if we are silent and wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake; now therefore come, let us go and tell the king’s household." 10 So they came and called to the gatekeepers of the city, and told them, "We came to the camp of the Syrians, and behold, there was no one to be seen or heard there, nothing but the horses tied, and the asses tied, and the tents as they were." 11 Then the gatekeepers called out, and it was told within the king’s household. 12 And the king rose in the night, and said to his servants, "I will tell you what the Syrians have prepared against us. They know that we are hungry; therefore they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the open country, thinking, ‘When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive and get into the city.’ " 13 And one of his servants said, "Let some men take five of the remaining horses, seeing that those who are left here will fare like the whole multitude of Israel that have already perished; let us send and see." 14 So they took two mounted men, and the king sent them after the army of the Syrians, saying, "Go and see." 15 So they went after them as far as the Jordan; and lo, all the way was littered with garments and equipment which the Syrians had thrown away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.
16 Then the people went out, and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a measure of fine meal was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the Lord. 17 Now the king had appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to have charge of the gate; and the people trod upon him in the gate, so that he died, as the man of God had said when the king came down to him.
As we did not emphasize the miracle of healing or the problem of leprosy in the case of Naaman, so now we shall not dwell on what is usually the theme of commentaries, namely, the extraordinary action of God, the solution to the famine in Samaria, the sound of chariots in the Syrian camp. We shall not stress the fact that here is another instance of the omnipotence of God, who does what he wills, and of the love of God, who does not let his people perish. The lesson seems to me to be larger and more direct, and we shall make the characters in the story our primary consideration.
In this dreadful incident the king of Israel is the same as in the days of Naaman, King Joram, who is generally presented as a good king even though he was the son of Ahab and clung to the error of Jeroboam. He obviously maintained the traditional faith of Israel and we are told that he overturned the statues of Baal that his father had erected. When he was violently questioned by the woman, his reply was not derisive. The woman appealed to him for salvation. Her "save me" (hochi-anna) is highly ambiguous, for it might mean: Save my physical life by giving me food, but it might also mean: Save me before God. After all, our own S.O.S. has the same ambiguity. And in relation to this question of salvation the king draws back. If the reference is to material salvation from the famine, he cannot do anything, and even this is perhaps a manifestation of his orthodoxy. Some commentators think the mention of the threshing floor and the wine press in verse 27 is an allusion to the belief in Canaan (and it extended far beyond Canaan, for one finds it in almost all primitive peoples) that the king is the one who ensures fecundity, or good crops, and that his activity or (sexual) power is the guarantee of abundance for all. If so, then Joram’s reply is: "I am not this kind of king. I am not like the king of Canaan, for the Eternal alone is the one who kills and makes alive." But his answer can also be given a spiritual sense: "It is not I who save but God. For myself I am nothing and I can do nothing." This is indeed a very correct and accurate and scrupulous theological position. No, Joram is not mocking the woman. Nevertheless, his answer is a momentous one, for he is also saying that he refuses to take the risk of faith. He leaves it to God because he refuses to be involved in the adventure himself. Now it is impossible for him not to be involved in it. For he is the king of Israel and this obviously means that he is the representative of God on earth. He is the Lord’s anointed. He is the one who can take a divine decision. In declining to do so he is thus abdicating already as the true king of Israel. At this moment he loses his monarchy.2 Let us take note that this concerns us all, for now in Jesus Christ we are all invested with this power and we have no right to cloak ourselves in good theology in order to evade our responsibilities. Furthermore, in spite of his disclaimer, he is involved in this terrible adventure whether he wants to be or not. He is faced by the dreadful arrangement between the two women to eat their own children. The one refuses to give up her son and the other demands justice. For this is a matter of justice; the contract ought to be honored. Hence the king is involved again, for he is the guardian of right and justice. He must respect the conventions. He must be the judge in atrocious things. Yet he declines once more. He cannot pronounce justice in a matter like this. He cannot insist that the contract be upheld. Nor can he judge and condemn the woman who cries to him: "Save me." At this point we cannot but recall the other story about two infants and the judgment of Solomon. It would have needed the wisdom of Solomon, the true king of Israel, to pass judgment here. But Joram is not Solomon.
Let us take a further step. The king of the chosen people is faced by the most atrocious crime imaginable. A woman eats her child. She is not mad. It is a deliberate act. She does it by contract to save her own life. This is a sign which shows Joram how profound and total is the corruption of the chosen people. A member of this people is like that. And he—the king who represents the whole people, who is the synthesis in himself of the holy nation—he does nothing. He perhaps recognizes implicitly that in the presence of extreme suffering there are no more rules, there is no more morality, there is no more respect for anything. These women may be excused after all. Necessity knows no law. He does nothing but give way, lament, and repent. He rends his garments, and in this state he goes among the people and on the walls. He is the fallen king, the humbled man. He shows to all the people his weakness and his piety, for his piety is manifested in this repentance too. In face of the physical suffering and the monstrous crime he can only fall down before God and ask pardon for himself and his people. He undoubtedly has a proper sense of what penitence is. He has worn sackcloth to mortify himself before God—he, the king, in the name of the whole people. And he has kept this mortification secret, as Jesus will later say we should do. He has the conviction that he is king for repentance and chastisement. He bears the evil of all his people before God. He remains (or would like to remain) the guardian of spiritual things. And he does nothing.
We shall often have occasion to point out that in these stories the feverish activity of the believer is absurd. But we must now emphasize the very opposite. The king is the one who ought to act and intervene and direct. His true piety, his authentic repentance, is not enough. He needs wisdom, i.e., the science of government in accordance with God’s will. And now suddenly this weak and pious king explodes into action. Elisha must be killed. Elisha is responsible for all this, for the military disaster and the moral disaster. For Elisha has always given assurance of God’s faithfulness. He has promised God’s help. But God has patently abandoned his people. Elisha must be put to death because it is he who carries God’s Word, who constantly claims that God intervenes in our lives, and who finally represents God in Israel (the king forgets that he does too!). Behind Elisha, however, God is undoubtedly Joram’s real target. The judgment is clear, man’s judgment on God: "This evil comes from the Lord." It is God who is responsible. If he is Israel’s God, how can he allow what is happening. The king could have endured without collapse the military defeat, the siege, and the physical misery of his people. But things have gone too far. In face of the horrible and abominable thing he has seen he can no longer believe that God is the living and loving God. In killing Elisha, the king is really getting at God.
Undoubtedly, the traditional conflict between king and prophet also breaks out again at this juncture. On the one side is the king, who is the normal and legitimate guardian of established and institutional religion, which is also willed by God (as we so often forget). On the other side the one who represents God is absolutely the wholly other, who cannot be reduced at all to any religious or theological form whatever, who is always absolutely new and surprising, who does not cease to come in the "today" of his presence, who disturbs our ritual, morality, and piety. On the one side is the guardian of what God has done and has been. His role is valuable, legitimate, and divinely willed in the absolute sense. For God is also the one who is constantly telling us in his Word to remember: Remember what I was for you yesterday. He is thus the guardian of true and correct tradition. On the other side is the son of thunder who interferes and overthrows, affirming that God is not the God of the past or of the dead, but the God of the present and the living. It is inevitable that conflict should break out. But we should always remember that both parties in the conflict are equally justified and are equally commissioned to fulfil a divine task. The king cannot tolerate disruption of the established order, and he is right, for he has been instituted precisely to protect and uphold this divinely willed order. He cannot accept the irrational adventure and revolutionary explosiveness of the Word spoken here and now.
Where he is wrong, however, is in playing off the God of yesterday against the God of today and in invoking God for the killing of the prophet, this prophet who in the king’s eyes is involved in the scandal since he does not seem to be scandalized by the awful train of events which has brought on the king’s spiritual crisis.
Finally, to complete the portrait of the king, we find a very characteristic trait. When the lepers come to announce the flight of the Syrians, the king sees in it a classic ruse or trap. They have pretended flight in order to draw us to the camp, and when we have sallied out they will come back and slay us. The king takes a rational and common-sense position. There was no reason for the Syrians to flee. Furthermore, the ruse of besiegers pretending to raise the siege was indeed a classic one. The king’s judgment is thus the normal one any general or politician would reach in the circumstances. It is the attitude of reasonable doubt. Nor should we forget that it was a trait in the character of this king. What we see here we have seen already in the story of Naaman. When he received the letter from the king of Syria he interpreted it as a means of provoking war. One can hardly blame the king for taking this view. He was also the secular and military head of the people. He had to direct and govern it by the best methods, by strategy and reason. He had to use the human means of judgment at his disposal. What kind of king would that be who plunged blindly into every political and military snare? Any king would have thought as he did. The main difficulty for him was that he was not just any king.
He was the king of Israel, God’s people. In this situation, however, he judged according to prudence and not according to faith. He did not listen to the Word that God had spoken to him. He did not see a Word of God in this whole incident. Now if it is common for man not to discern God’s Word, this man who is part of the people of God has been invested at his election by the ability to hear and understand this Word. But now reasonable doubt and political prudence (which he must also exercise quite often) have snuffed out this ability to hear the Word of God when it is spoken to him. He is the man who has received the seed, who hears the Word, "but the cares of the world. . . choke the word, and it proves unfruitful" (Matthew 13:22). We are faced again by the serious problem of the politician. How can he avoid the cares of the world? How can he fail to use prudence, competence, and reason? But how can this long-standing habit not choke the Word of God in its uncertainty, fragility, and unpredictability?
The second character in the story to whom we must now turn is the prophet. Now the story raises already the problem of what makes Elisha a prophet. It is certainly not the power of "sight" he displays in verse 32, the fact that he can see what goes on in the royal palace, that he knows what decision the king has made against him, that he is aware of the king’s intention to assassinate him. Nor is it his power to foretell coming events (7:1), the fact that he declares that the people will be fed the next day. It is not even the miracle that ensues, the flight of the Syrians.
Now in the main facts of this kind are the marks of a prophet in our eyes. In reality, however, such facts are secondary. They accompany prophecy, but they do not constitute the prophet. They are not useless nor mythical. (Bultmannian spiritualizing, for which, if God is the Wholly Other, all these manifestations are just forms of expression with no real content, is certainly quite unacceptable, for why should not the Almighty be free to act in this way too?) But false prophets can also produce them, and so, too, can seers and magicians.
What constitutes the prophet is exact and rigorous proclamation of what God does, of God’s decision, today. With objectivity, with, one might almost say, a certain indifference, a detachment as if it were no concern of his, the prophet says: "Look, God has decided this." But it is not just this unveiling (revelation) of the intention of God that makes a man a prophet. It is also the proclamation of an order: "Listen to the Word of God." There is something more important than trying to engage in trade, or to support oneself, or to watch on the walls, or to punish criminals: stop all that. Listen, now, to God’s Word. The prophet offers a living Word for the present. He offers a Word relevant to the actual situation of men, a Word which will be a solution, but which is completely irrational and unexpected, and which implies for man a strange renouncing of his own methods and policies and normal inclinations. The prophet is in effect the man who brings a Word of God to bear on the actual, concrete situation of man, his political situation.
This is a Word which has no common denominator with our political intentions and appraisals. To come and say that among several political or economic systems this is a good one is not to speak a Word of God; to come and announce that it is necessary to belong to a particular party or union is not to speak a Word of God. To seek solutions to famine or political or colonial slavery is not to speak a Word of God. All this is Joram’s attitude. Certainly the prophet shows that God is present in everyday life, in political dramas. But he does not bring any solution nor engage in any action. He shows but he does not demonstrate. He issues an order: Listen to the Word of God. You are now placed before it. Make your decision. At every point and turn, then, he adopts the starting-point of every attitude of faith. With the prophet there is no progress. There is no progress in the political situation (Naaman was cured but this changed nothing, for war broke out afterwards). There is also no progress in the spiritual situation. The prophet constantly brings us back to zero. The situation is always a completely new one. Our spiritual life is constantly brought back to the decision of faith, to that corner which our moral, theological, and ecclesiastical ruses seek in vain to avoid.
Yes or no, this time, will you listen to this Word of God?
But I already heard it yesterday.
We are now living today.
It’s all the same.
But you are not the same, you have to decide today.
The prophet will not allow us to use faith as a point of departure for taking our journey through life or constructing our morality, ecclesiology, or politics. He addresses faith and demands the decision of faith now, for tomorrow will already be too late. He addresses faith, and only in the response of faith is the word that the prophet speaks a Word of God.
Again, Elisha makes no attempt at all to convince those who are not in faith. As we have seen, he does not demonstrate even to believers, and even less so when faced by unbelief. He pursues no apologetics at any level, whether objective or subjective. Yet in face of the proclamation of the Word, the first reaction Elisha can record is that of unbelief. The officer of the house shrugs his shoulders. What then? Will Elisha start again? Will he engage in discussion? Will he try to convince? Not at all. He simply announces to this man his situation before God: "You shall see it with your own eyes, but you shall not eat of it." The prophet sets aside this man who has refused. He tells him what concerns him, for his unbelief can be shamed only by his destiny. It sets him outside the truth of the Word but not outside the line of his life before God, and this is all that the prophet can say to him.
It is extraordinary to think that Elisha, who abounds in miracles, does not perform any miracle to confirm what he declares, whether to convince or to excite faith. But I think we must be bold and take the text in its entirety. What brought on the whole train of events was the woman’s cry: "Save me." The king was then reduced to despair by the full horror of the situation. Then the prophet stepped in. There is a kind of parallelism with the story of Naaman. The general, too, was crying out: "Heal and save me." The king was again in despair and rent his clothes. In both cases he proclaimed that he could not respond to the cry: "Save me." In both cases the prophet stepped in. In answer to the scandalous question of the woman, to her ignoble and yet desperate situation, the prophet gave God’s answer—a positive answer. To be sure, it was not a personal answer to the woman, whose act would no doubt come under judgment. But it was the collective answer of salvation given because one of these unfortunate people had pushed her despair to the extreme limit. Elisha, then, stood by his people. He, the prophet of God, did not remove himself to judge this people among whom such horrible things had been done. For we must not forget that in addition to the open crime of the woman many other heinous things afflicted the people, e.g., speculation and the crushing of the poor by the privileged, as is suggested by the note on the frightful prices for the least bit of nourishment. The prophet does not attack the people. He does not judge the woman or the speculators. He maintains solidarity with the people. He takes counsel with the elders. He comes to help what is still for him the people of God, the people to whom the Word of God must be spoken, no matter what the circumstances may be. And he also steps forth to announce to it the perseverance of the love of God even when everything seems to lead us to believe that the Eternal is no longer there. He steps forth to announce physical deliverance too.
But once again he does nothing. This is a strange thing to say, and we shall see again that in political problems the prophet remains inactive. He does not effect directly any intervention or miracle even to save himself. The king wants him put to death and sends a messenger to assassinate him. But the prophet does not use his power to save his life. This would have been easy enough for him when we think of all his other miracles. He does not employ any spiritual force. He refrains from asking God for protection. We are inevitably reminded of Jesus in Gethsemane: "Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?" (Matthew 26:5 3). But he did not appeal, and neither did Elisha. Elisha uses purely human means. He closes the doors. He protects himself like anyone else. In this very real danger he does not think he should use his power on his own behalf. God’s power has not been given to him for his own advantage. He takes refuge behind a closed door, and for the moment this flimsy barrier must serve as his only security. For good or ill, therefore, Elisha remains among the men of this Israel of God now that they are in the very depths of misfortune.
This does not mean, however, that he is all sweetness, hope, and charity. He pronounces judgments, judgments against the king and against the officer of the guard. The king who is still Israel incarnate: Joram the son of the assassin, for Joram is indeed the son of Ahab, murderer of the prophets of Yahweh, and also murderer of Naboth (the miserable little story of Naboth continually comes up again); Joram himself an assassin, for it is his intention to continue his father’s work and to slay the prophet—the king is judged; everything converges now. We have seen above that he unwittingly renounces his role, his office as Israel’s king (v. 30). Now with his decision to have Elisha put to death he brings down on himself the express condemnation of the Word of God. This twofold development will take place when Elisha will go to anoint Jehu and to have the king dethroned.
But there is another judgment too. It is on the officer, who finds himself excluded from the promise made to the people. The prophet does not condemn him directly; he simply answers his unbelief. In effect he is condemned to death. The prophet’s condemnations certainly pose the problem of final judgment, of the ultimate salvation of men, of the range of these judgments. Do the words pronounced against the officer and the king, as Words of God, carry with them the eternal damnation of these men? Is God no longer God-with-them? Are these condemnations a final judgment on them? They have not had faith; they are judged already (John 3:18). Or may it be that what we have here are only actual, temporal, and temporary signs of this final judgment, which should serve as warnings as to the seriousness of the Word of God, but which do not necessarily imperil the salvation of these two men for whom Jesus also dies? My own conviction is that in all this we simply have a rejection in time, a condemnation for the moment, not eternal damnation.
They are thus condemned but not damned. They are put outside God’s work but not his love. Historians tell us there was no concept of eternal life or of resurrection in ancient Israel. Hence there was no thought of eternal retribution in good or evil. Everything took place on earth. God’s judgments had validity only for this world. Only with the development which led to the concept of eternal life did another dimension come to be given to the judgment of God. All this may be true, but it is hardly adequate, for we are now confronted by the unity of this Scripture which is recognized in its entirety by faith to be the one Word of God, unique, total, and complete. In this one Word of God we do in fact find two types of eternal decisions regarding man. Some decisions concern his concrete life on earth. Here, too, there may be rejection, condemnation, and chastisement. Each brings down this decision upon himself, and this decision of God can be of infinite seriousness and severity. For after all there is here a twofold condemnation to death. The one may be executed immediately or a dozen years later, it makes no odds. Then we have God’s judgment on the inner core of the problem, on the final relation between this man and God. It is here that Jesus Christ is offered up as an expiatory victim, as a ransom from bondage to death, as God taking man’s place beneath the justice of God. This is also true for Joram and the officer.
But in making this distinction are we returning to ancient ideas? Is the historical rejection in time an expiation for our faults on earth? Is there an earthly punishment even as we await salvation in heaven? To say this is in effect to nullify the work of Jesus Christ. If we are smitten on earth to expiate our faults, then temporal judgment is the same as eternal judgment. But this is not what we learn from the Bible. Are we not arguing that there is a correlation between happiness and obedience to God (or faith), between unhappiness and revolt against God, according to the ancient theory debated in the Book of Job? But again this does not seem to me at all to be the biblical teaching. Furthermore, in these conditions, to what would God’s historical judgment correspond in the concrete life of man? It seems to me that the position is always very clear: God speaks. To this actual, living, present Word of God addressed to a man there must be the reply of an actual, present decision of faith. Now when God speaks to a man, it is never for his personal satisfaction, for the sake of his soul or his happiness. The announcement God makes to him is always connected with an order God gives him, a service he expects of him, a mission he lays upon him. And the reply of faith that God expects is that the man will accomplish this mission and service, that he will enter into God’s design. But when the man refuses to do this, when he does not accept the word as a Word of God, when he takes refuge behind doubt, or eternity, or human wisdom, when this man asks God to wait, then God rejects him, but he does not send him to hell. He discards him as an instrument he cannot use. God has a work to do. He calls a man. This man refuses or does not hear. So God dismisses him and calls another. The first man called is not outside God’s love nor outside salvation in Christ. But he is out of work. He has been dropped from the great adventure, the great history, of salvation. He no longer has a place in God’s plan. God depended on him to say yes or no. He has chosen not to be involved. God accepts his decision. King Joram is no longer the real king of Israel. He is of no use even though he continues to engage in politics and to make wars, even though he is very active and makes alliances. All this is irrelevant. It is outside God’s plan. His enterprises may be discounted by historians. They are just a blank in the work of God. This is the meaning of temporal rejection, just as temporal election is always election for service. To be sure, this temporal rejection is for the spectator a sign and a warning. It reminds him of the extreme seriousness of the Word which is spoken to us. The king’s officer who is crushed to death should not only be a warning in this world. He should also send us back to the infinite grace of God in Christ which changes every condemnation into pardon, or rather which sets every condemnation within the infinite love of God, who punishes to three generations but who pardons to a thousand generations.
Perhaps another question should be raised. Why do we find two different attitudes in the prophet? Why does he not condemn the faults of the people and those of the women who have committed a crime? Conversely, why does condemnation fall on the king and his officer? The answer seems to be quite simple and in conformity with the total teaching of Scripture. In the former case we have moral faults. These are also very important, and sometimes the prophets deal specifically with them. It is certainly no light thing to kill an infant. Indeed, the very reason why there is no reference to the judgment of God on those who commit such crimes, to the judgment of God which falls on his Son, is that nothing can expiate this kind of offense. Here we cannot but be in the presence of this judgment. It cannot be just a matter of refusing service or of not obeying the actual order of God. In the case of the king and the officer, however, the problem is very different. An express Word of God is addressed to them. Before this Word they have to decide. The Word is spoken to them in the first instance because they are responsible at this point. They are guides and authorities for the people. They have to make a decision of faith, a decision for service, to follow and to obey this Word which is spoken to them personally. And the one says: "Why should I wait for the Lord any longer," while the other shrugs his shoulders: "If the Lord himself should make windows in heaven, could this thing be?" This doubt, this refusal of service, provokes the judgment of temporal rejection. The people in its misery has obeyed the law of necessity and done wrong, but God has profound pity on the man who is brought down thus. But the man who receives God’s Word is restored to liberty. The king and the officer to whom the Word is addressed in the first instance have become free to decide, and they are thus in very truth responsible for their refusal to obey. They are without any excuse. They have no recourse apart from the final recourse in Christ.
We now come to the central problem which will constantly confront us in these pages. This is the problem of the relation between God’s decision and man’s. We should first stop to consider God’s own attitude. For if Scripture says little about God’s being or essence, it is constantly revealing his action and presence. Without doubt the first thing to strike us here is the pure freedom of God’s decision. We can find no reason at all for his attitude. Why, for example, does he allow the invasion of Israel? Why is Samaria reduced for the second time to this extremity? Why this distress? Israel is no worse than other peoples. It is no worse at this moment in its history than at other moments. There is no reason, motive, cause, or condition for God’s free will. God is God. He speaks, and things are. We have not to think that behind there might be something different. This unhappy people is again led into even greater evil by the trial itself. Under the suffering of the siege it does not prove to be heroic or virtuous. On the contrary, crime and oppression increase. One might say that God leads his people into an excess of iniquity. Conversely, there is no reason why the trial should cease. There is no comprehensible motive for God’s arresting of the situation and raising of the siege. We wish we could say: "He will not let you be tempted beyond your strength" (1 Corinthians 10:13). But one has the impression this unhappy people has in fact been tempted beyond this point. No, God is not even conditioned by this limitation. He chooses the moment of deliverance, too, in absolute freedom. Neither prayer nor the king’s repentance forces his hand. One day the Word of God will break over man and declare: "Lo, the trial is over." This moment is God’s secret. We are faced here by the same freedom as that which Jesus preserved when he spoke of the end of the ages and said that even the Son has no knowledge on this subject. No preconceived, discernible, or revealed plan exists. There is no premonitory sign that we can calculate. There is no passage of time corresponding to historical periods. No doing of works, no achievements of missions or churches, no propagation of the gospel, no excess of human sufferings, can cause us to say: "Lo, tomorrow. . . ." The Word which will say this will come upon us like the eagle when no one expects it, when no one expects it any more. And I think this strict freedom of God explains all those New Testament texts which historians persist in regarding as written as a result of the mistaken ideas of the first Christians who expected the immediate return of the Lord and were bitterly surprised when it was delayed.
Perhaps the words used may be explained by some such misunderstanding, but the explanation as such is a trite one. For the words express the truth of the freedom of God, who is counselled and controlled by nobody. This is the God, then, who lets the suffering of man go on, who is deaf to his cry, who does not prevent the persecution, who for some time grants neither deliverance nor answer to prayer, so that one can understand the accusation of man against him, the accusation of the king: "This trouble is from the Lord!" Yes, one must accept it. If God is the author of all things. . . . Yet it should be noted that the king makes the accusation only after hearing of the crime of the two women. The king has withstood without flinching the siege, the defeat, the famine. But in face of this moral evil, this scandal, he has reached his limit. As the king of Israel he can no longer bear the burden of such abominations. Not I, but God is now responsible for these atrocities. And it is true that God’s absolute freedom in these matters leads us to this conclusion. Now when he is faced by this accusation, which is repeated a hundredfold by man against God, and which finds an echo in the Bible, God never answers. God does not explain his conduct and decision to man when the latter demands an account, just as God does not justify himself before man. This is the same problem as that of Job. Job, too, accuses God of being the author of evil. And when at last, after a long debate and the prolonged cry of suffering man, God speaks, he does not explain or reply to Job.
There is no theology of expiation, of testing, or of the presence of Satan. All the hypotheses suggested and discarded by Job and his friends are discourses to which no answer is given. God does not choose to set his stamp on any of them. He reveals only one thing to Job, namely, that he is the free God, the unrestricted God, the God who gives an account to no one. But he is also the God who speaks to this man and who is thus with this man. This is enough to demolish all objections, accusations, theogonies, revolts and dramas. "I have uttered what I did not understand" (Job 42: 3). This is all that man can ultimately say when confronted by the revealed freedom of God. Here too, then, God neither explains nor justifies himself when accused by the king. But the prophetic word is uttered at once; in face of the accusation God replies by asking for faith. "Tomorrow," says the prophet, tomorrow there will be full liberation, everything will be resolved and accomplished. Today you have to receive this promise and believe. You have to stop questioning and believe and wait for tomorrow. Things do not happen at once. There is no explosion of miraculous deliverance. All that is given is just a man’s word: Tomorrow. And this is finally the real test to which God is leading man. In his suffering and rebellion today, will he be capable of discerning the presence of God himself in this word? Will he have the patience to wait (he who after many months is waiting for the end of the siege, we who after many centuries wait for the Lord’s return)? Will he have the patience to wait for tomorrow? The prophet gives no direct answer to the accusation of the king. He does not engage in theological discussion. He announces that absolutely free grace will reply to faith. He restricts himself to this announcement. In other words, the problem is not a metaphysical problem. The existence of evil, its cause, God’s attitude to it, the relation of God’s omnipotence to it—these are all matters for an irrelevant metaphysical dissertation. To have knowledge of such things changes nothing whatsoever in our life and sufferings. The doctrine of evil and its origin may satisfy our curiosity but it is unimportant. God is not an encyclopedia whose task is to satisfy our curiosity. The true question is that of man’s attitude in the situation of suffering and the grip of evil. The king revolts; it is God’s fault. He is in despair; what more is there to hope for? The prophet simply calls for faith. No wave of a magical wand can change the evil metaphysically into good, or offer an explanation of it, or modify the objective situation of man. An appeal is simply made to the changing of man in the presence of God’s promise, You are in despair in a hopeless situation. But God’s Word is addressed to you. Tomorrow you will receive (exactly as in the case of the manna in the wilderness, you have to believe each day that you will receive your ration tomorrow). Today, believe. To God’s total freedom, which man can only accept, there should be a response of faith even though no sign is given him today, no sign, in our case, apart from Jesus Christ.
This freedom of God finds expression also in the choice of the means he employs. Samaria will be saved, but to accomplish this God neither uses nor relies on the courage of the soldiers, the skill of the generals, the politics of the king, or the return of all the people to virtue and morality. God will save Samaria by a miracle. He will do it by the most ridiculous, empty, and illusory miracle, by a noise, a wind, an echo, by an illusion which makes a victorious army flee. This is an illustration of the fact that God chooses "things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are" (1 Corinthians 1:28). But it also shows how much noise and how little weight or worth or significance there is in what man does. I think that we who take our politics and bombs and elections so seriously should take this seriously too. Here we have a victorious army, a devastating war, imperial politics, and then an echo; there is nothing left. God in heaven does indeed laugh to scorn the furious raging of the people (Psalm 2: 1ff.). He laughs at our political passions and our military and revolutionary storms. All this, serious enterprises included, has precisely the dimension and the value of a noise. In truth the dramas of the nations belong to this level, so that no one can finally glory in what results. Neither the king of Israel nor his army can indeed be triumphant. We need to be convinced in all our political actions (and they are far from being futile) that we too have no reason to be triumphant.
But God is not content with a miracle in which men have no part at all. He always associates man with himself in his acts and in the execution of his work, for his work is done on man’s behalf.
His work is not abstract. It makes sense only if man grasps and utilizes it. The miracle is not for its own sake. The fact that the Syrians flee means nothing in isolation. Israel has to have a part in what God does. It has to profit by the miracle. The mere fact that the Syrians flee solves nothing for Israel if the latter does not show the attitude of faith which consists in believing that the miracle has taken place. (Believe that you have received already, says Jesus Christ.) The miracle alone is not a miracle. It is a miracle when man accepts and adopts it as such. Here again we see God’s freedom in the choice of means. God chooses some men among others. He associates men secondarily with himself in the doing of his work. But what men?(Not the most qualified, the most informed, the most worthy, the most alert.) We see God choose lepers to discover the miracle just as it is women coming to the tomb with their own material concerns who discover the great miracle. The lepers are rejects. They are unclean. They are specially marked by traces of sickness and the sign of sin. They have been rightly thrust out of the camp and they have no further part in religious life. But it is to these lepers that God gives a place and a task in his miracle. Then at the other end of the story, to execute his judgment, God chooses the crowd, man in his most animal state, at his most unreflecting and irrational. It is man who does what God expects, but certainly not the kind of man that man himself would have chosen for so lofty a function.
Nevertheless we see that for all his freedom God respects the word of the man who adopts and declares it. The prophet’s word is indisputably fulfilled by God. There is no point in pressing this or in raising the insoluble problem whether God caused the prophet to say what he did because he willed that this be done or whether God listened to the word of his prophet and, because he loved him, accomplished what he had said. This is a false dilemma, for both aspects are equally and simultaneously correct. We know indeed that God can sometimes expressly command his prophet to intimate something and then God does not do it, as in the case of Jonah. God treats the king’s saying with the same freedom. The king said: "May God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha... remains on his shoulders today." The head of Elisha did not fall. But God is not invoked in vain. The king himself will be rejected and then put to death. There is need to reflect on this decision and condemnation. God shows hereby that he governs the king and the monarchy. He gives a reminder that he is still the true king of his people, that it is he (and not this feeble king) who commands in Israel, delivers Israel, and serves as its commander-in-chief, that it is he also (and not this king that abdicates his responsibility) who himself bears all the suffering of this people, who takes it to himself and suffers it, that finally it is on him (and not on this blind king) that there falls all the evil committed among his people. This people remains the people of God, and the king of this people, even though rejected, remains a symbol of the true king of this people. What happens with the rejection of the king is what will happen to the true king of the people of God. The dreadful evil, the crime committed, God himself takes it upon himself and will manifest it in his Son Jesus Christ.
Thus everything rests on God’s freedom, and yet the truly astonishing feature in these stories is that everything rests also on human decisions. These are real decisions and not just acts or good works done in obedience to God and in response to his known will, his law, his clear commandment. The prophet gives no order to act. He does not head an operation. He declares what will happen but does not ask specific people to step in. Man himself will choose his own acts for human motives at the level of reason or intuition. The whole story makes it clear that man is not "mechanized" or "inspired" by God. Each man chooses his own way for his own reasons.
We first find the intervention of the lepers. They are outside the town as the law demands (Leviticus 13:46). They live on alms, and in this time of famine gifts are few and far between. They have been shown no special favor by God, for, unlike Naaman, they have not been cured. Once again God seems to be leaving the members of his people aside. They are put in a situation of what one might almost call fate, and we find them reasoning in a very realistic and natural way. If we go into the city we shall certainly die (of hunger or stoning). But if we stay here we shall die just as certainly, for there is no one to feed us. If we go to the Syrians it is possible they might kill us, as lepers and Jews. But it is also possible they might not kill us, and we should then have something to eat. Their choice is dictated by the realistic and irrefutable logic of necessity. They thus act at a strictly human level. The rest of their conduct is also characterized by the same humanity in this restricted sense. When they find the camp empty they help themselves first. They plunder and pillage. They hide their own little piles of loot. They think of themselves first, and it is not for us to blame them, or to moralize; we may simply emphasize that they were not virtuous Israelites anxious to discover and to understand the will of God. No, they acted exactly like any other man without God whose motto is: "Self first; let us profit by the occasion." Nor is their second impulse better than the first. Having satisfied their own needs they then tackle the moral problems and take "religious" stock of the situation. "We are not doing right" (it is a little late to see this), and "if we are silent. . . punishment will overtake us," surely the very lowest "religious" level: a moral vision of the situation before God; repentance out of fear; the idea of a God who punishes according to the balance of good and bad. Here again we have the reaction of the natural man and natural religion. The conduct of these lepers continues to be worthy of note. With the prudence which is customary in such matters, they do not tell their wonderful news to the people and those most concerned. They make their report to the authorities by the chain of command, i.e., from the gatekeepers to the king (for they themselves have no right of entry into the city and they accept their position). Nevertheless, these men who act at a strictly human level, who give no evidence of any spiritual or moral quality, who simply make an objective report on the situation they themselves have seen, these men do exactly what God expected. It is they who confirm the fulfilment of the prophecy. But did they actually know this prophecy of the day before? Almost certainly not. They were outside the city. They have a part in the miracle and yet they do not know that it is a miracle or that God announced it. They see an event and they draw the usual human conclusions. Nevertheless, they are witnesses of the fulfilment; they come to tell the good news to the people of Israel.
We are not forcing the text. The word employed is "good news," normally used for news which comes from God, which announces a divine act. In this sense it is not entirely fanciful to claim that they were, as Vischer says, the four evangelists carrying the good news of deliverance and salvation.
It is in the same sense that the women at the empty tomb were the evangelists of the resurrection. But we notice that this was all unintentional. Or rather, their own clear intention, their conscious decision, their express motivation, had a dimension and signification they could not realize. They could not know the underlying background of their own word and their own will. We see how their own will was inwardly caught up in the intention of God, who did not constrain them in any way. Their free decision was given a place in the secret and vaster plan of God. Others could have filled their role. But it was they who filled it. And they did so without any intention whatever of doing God’s will in this sense.
Along exactly the same lines we next find the free and prudent decision of the king (v. 13). He too, as we have seen, follows purely human motives. He weighs things politically. The decision he reaches (to send five of the thinnest horses with two chariots) is dictated by distrust, prudence, and a concern to risk as little as possible. It is certainly very far from being the decision of faith, of total risk, which God asks us to make. It is the very opposite of the all or nothing which God risked but which we dare not accept.
The king had no faith at all in the Word of God declared by Elisha. Nor did he believe the leper evangelists or their eyewitness. He reacted like a suspicious king, and after free political calculation he took a chance (perhaps this is true after all?) but obviously in such a way that if nothing was gained nothing would be lost, i.e., as little was risked as possible. But again this decision of mistrust (or little faith), of man’s prudence and common-sense, of scepticism, finds a place precisely in God’s design. One might almost say that the king had to make the decision or choice to verify exactly the fulfilment of the prophecy. But for him, too, there was no connection between the prophet and what he had been told; no connection whatever. In his political reckoning, however, he played spontaneously the role which was indispensable if the intention of God for the people was to be accomplished and the prophecy was to be genuinely fulfilled, not just in itself, but for the people which God had resolved to save.
Finally we come across a third remarkable conjunction in the action of the crowd. Once the good news is verified it is spread abroad among the people. Once it is known by the people, the mob is unleashed. There is obviously no holding back these starving wretches who have simply been awaiting death in some way, whether by famine if the siege continues or by the sword if there is a victorious assault. Suddenly the twofold danger has been lifted. They do not stop to talk about it, except perhaps to ask initially how it has happened and to recognize briefly how it relates to Elisha’s prophecy—as we know from the text—which is a result of this kind of reflection. No, there is an instantaneous rush for food. This is liberation. The crowd is unleashed. And again it is every man for himself. The main aim is to get there first so as to get the greatest possible amount of food at once, as though there was not enough for everyone. The crowd obeys its own violence, its own elemental impulse. It is the equivalent of panic, but in a forward rush. And in a crowd unleashed in this way, there are inevitably casualties.
The officer of the king who is at the gate is one of those trampled by the mob. The mob does not crush him intentionally. Yet on this bestial level, through a crowd which is only following its own instincts, God’s judgment is executed. The mob is not an instrument of God. It is not constrained to act by a divine push but by its hunger and the news of food. It simply acts according to the nature of a panic-stricken mob, and that is all. It has no desire to do anything relating to the Word of God. Yet, obeying its own violent impulse, it does just what God expects. In one way or another the officer was condemned, and man decided in what way, even though he did not realize he was carrying out the divine sentence.
Now we must beware of generalization. We certainly cannot say that every time a man acts without thinking, that every time he follows his instinct, he executes a divine judgment. Nevertheless, one has to consider that this is also possible; it cannot be ruled out.
In this full and complex story, then, we find conjoined a miracle and the most banal of human reflection. We find God’s intention fulfilled through a series of free human choices, some strong and some very feeble. We find human decisions intermeshed without any need of divine intervention (for perhaps even the Syrian flight was a phenomenon of mob panic such as can be spontaneously produced). We also find some human decisions that are integrated into God’s decision, while others are not. We learn first that God’s action is certainly not governed or provoked by man. Yet God takes account of man’s distress and his repentance, of his appeals and his revolts. The moment and means of God’s intervention are undoubtedly unknown to us and cannot be foreseen or grasped. At no point is God determined by anyone save himself. What we see already in the story, however, is that God intervenes because he remains the God of this people. He intervenes because the one who incarnates the people, who should normally represent God to the chosen people, the king, ceases to fulfil this role and is no longer the true king. At this moment God takes upon himself the misery of this people, its shame, and the evil that it commits. One might almost say that what "determines" God’s action in a given circumstance is that God takes upon himself the evil and the misery of man. Referring this to Jesus Christ, we may say that what determines the action and decision of God here and now is that he has taken upon himself all the misery of man and all the revolt of man in his Son Jesus Christ: all the misery and all the evil, including that of the particular situation which we are now living out in our own lives. God intervenes in this situation precisely for this reason. This is just another way of saying that God loves every man at every moment in every specific situation as he loved his Son Jesus Christ: not more (for Jesus Christ was delivered up to temptation, to testing, to fatigue, to hunger, to suffering and to death), but not less.
Reciprocally, man’s action is not determined by God any more than that of Jesus Christ was. We always have voluntary action. Wittingly or unwittingly man obeys his calculations, his needs, his passions, and his fears. God grants man freedom to do other than God expects, i.e., to do evil. He grants him the freedom to choose. All the same, everything man does is within the global plan of God. In all the complexity of human choices and interventions, some of them finally participate in this plan, fulfilling and accomplishing it. It is not that there is a preformed plan of God into which the actions of man fit as in a jigsaw puzzle. But in harmony with the perfect will of God, which is both holy and merciful, some human actions are taken by God and used by him to do his work. It is not that there is a work of God in which the actions of man are inserted (and even less mechanically produced). There are works of man—although not all man’s works—which God utilizes for his own work. We do not have a mixture or fusion of God’s will and man’s. Everything that is perfect, everything that is of eternal validity, is God’s will. But none of it is done by anyone but man. Not that man can do anything perfect or holy in and of himself. But God takes from man’s work that which he will make perfect and eternal. Thus one cannot say that on the one side there is in the absolute sense a history of mankind and then independently a history of God or work of God. It is equally wrong, however, to say something that is often advanced today, namely, that the history of mankind is finally the history of God himself with all the sorry deductions drawn from the fact that Jesus is Lord of history, etc. In the vast medley of private and public actions and political and economic decisions, in the enormous and incomprehensible complexity of the history of men, some decisions and works finally accomplish the intention of God, or are at least chosen and adopted by him. Certainly it is man who accomplishes all the history, who does God’s will in this history. It is man alone. But in this medley, this swarm, this chaos, this proliferating incoherence of man, there is a choice that is God’s choice. If the situation is always fashioned by man and God is ready to put himself in it (because he is with man); if God subjects himself to the incoherences and absurdities of man (which he has done in the delivering up of Jesus Christ to men); if the jumble of human decisions constitutes a "history" that historians can write, this does not mean either that all man’s actions are retained by God, nor that the situation is right, nor that there is a shade of progress, nor that the history corresponds to what God himself has resolved to do.
It is never possible to see what act of man does in fact fulfil the will of God. This we shall see only in the final recapitulation of all things in Christ when the greater part of the human agitation we call history will sink into nothingness. But what we need to know now is that it is man and he alone, and for his own motives, who manifests willy nilly the hand which gives and takes away, which slays and makes alive.
But again we must add three remarks. The first is that this fulfilment by man is set in the stream of global, political, and economic history even when we seem to have only private decisions (like that of the lepers).
The second is that it is all set within the people of God and in relation to it. To be sure, we are speaking of the history of men, but of a history which is coordinated with the history of Israel and the church. Certainly it is not the latter history that gives meaning to the history of man. Nevertheless, the history of man is indissolubly bound up with this history, and it is in this relation that God’s decision plays its part.
Thirdly, this doing of God’s will by man in his daily choices obviously does not discharge him from willing obedience as well. No reassurance can be found in the evasion that there are in the totality of my daily actions some which are pleasing to God, which are chosen by him, even though I do not know which these are and even though my most commonplace acts may also serve the divine plan, so that I have no need to try to find out what is God’s will, nor to attempt to do good, nor to enter voluntarily into his design. This type of argument is mere self-justification and hypocrisy. Once the Word of God has been addressed to me (and this applies equally to the king and to the officer), it must be my foundation on which I try to find out what can fulfil it and accomplish it among my acts and decisions.
I have to realize that what will finally be retained by God is not necessarily what I have done with the greatest piety, morality, faith, or searching out of the will of God. I have to realize that the acts I think indifferent might be the very ones that God retains, although he does not have to retain these either. I have to remember Matthew 25: I am still a rebel, a hypocrite, a liar, a blasphemer of God if I use all this to shuffle off the responsibility of doing expressly what God expects of me, to deny the commandment, the order, the explicitly stated will of God. We shall come back again and again to the same crooked human thinking: If God can use anything, I can do anything. This is to treat God with contempt: If I am in any case an unprofitable servant, I do not have to bother about what is profitable as God clearly reveals it in his law. This is the self-justification of a capitalist-type speculator. We have always to remember that it is after and not before I have done all that is commanded (in both faith and order) that I must pass upon myself the judgment of being an unprofitable servant.
The situation of the man to whom the Word of God has not been expressly declared, but whose decisions are also taken up by God, is completely different from that of the man who has received this knowledge, for the latter has no right to avoid an express attempt to fulfil the commandment, without which he falls under judgment like the king and the officer.
All the acts which I have done expressly to serve thee, and also all the acts which I believe to be neutral and purely human, and also all the acts which I know to be disobedience and sin, I put in thy hands, 0 God, my Lord and Savior; take them now that they are finished; prove them thyself to see which enter into thy work and which deserve only judgment and death; use, cut, trim, reset, readjust, now that it is no longer I who can decide or know, now that what is done is done, what I have written I have written. It is thou that canst make a line true by taking it up into thy truth. It is thou that canst make an action right by using it to accomplish thy design, which is mysterious as I write now but bright in the eternity which thou hast revealed to me in thy Son. Amen.
2. As is shown by von Rad (Old Testament Theology, I [E. T.], p. 42) the monarchy does not have in the Northern Kingdom the same character as it does in Judah. It does not rest on a once-for-all choice made by Yahweh in David but on a choice which is renewed each time. Hence each king is endowed with a charisma granted by Yahweh. He thus represents in himself a force and a religious power.

Don’t Phone A Friend. Skype A Scientist!
Scientists do incredibly cool things on the job: They simulate Mars missions on Hawaiian volcanoes, track polar bears from helicopters, and investigate the unusual fluid properties of substances like ketchup or queso. But the way scientists often appear in popular culture is more akin to Einstein: older and male, with wild hair, and perhaps donning a white lab coat.
Sarah McAnulty, a biologist who studies the microbiomes of squid at the University of Connecticut, says she wanted to change that stereotype by introducing schoolkids around the world to real, working scientists using videoconferencing tools like Skype and Google hangouts. The program she founded, called Skype a Scientist, has already connected scientists to over 800 classrooms in nearly every U.S. state, and in more than a dozen countries around the world.
One of the participants in the program (and also someone with a really cool job) is Emily Green, who works in an ant lab at the University of Connecticut. In this segment, McAnulty and Green talk about their experiences with the program, and why connecting scientists with students is more important than ever.
Sarah McAnulty is a squid biologist and the Executive Director of Skype A Scientist. She’s also a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, Connecticut.
Emily Green is a PhD student in microbiology at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, Connecticut.
IRA FLATOW: This is Science Friday. I’m Ira Flatow. If you’ll indulge me for a second, I want you to close your eyes and picture a scientist, right? If you picture the Hollywood version, you see the typical scientist– what, white lab coat, geeky crazy hair. There’s always a Bunsen burner, right, with some green liquid in the background, isn’t there?
Well, if you listen to this show, you know that vision is pretty outdated and inaccurate and that scientists do a whole lot of different things, from researching the fluid dynamics of ketchup to the microbiome of squid to designing high tech wheels for the next Mars rover. And my next guest wanted to represent that diversity of people and interests and areas of expertise and just get the message out, well, hey scientists are people. What’s the best way to do it? How about talking to kids?
Her program is called Skype a Scientist. And it’s already connected real scientists with over 800 classrooms around the world. Sarah McAnulty is the founder of Skype a Scientist. She’s a PhD candidate in the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology at University of Connecticut. Welcome back, Sarah.
SARAH MCANULTY: Hey, thanks for having me.
IRA FLATOW: So what’s the idea behind the program? Basically to network with scientists via Skype?
SARAH MCANULTY: Yeah, exactly. So effectively, I match scientists with K through 12 classrooms for question and answer sessions with the scientist. And these sessions can cover the scientist’s area of study or it can be a general discussion of what it’s like to be a scientist.
And the teachers can choose what kind of scientist they want to talk to you. So for example, if you have a chemistry class, they can talk to a chemist. An elementary school class can talk to someone who works with animals.
And I also try to match classrooms that identify themselves as having students from under-represented groups with scientists from the same ethnic or socioeconomic group so that the students can interact with a scientists that they can really easily relate to.
IRA FLATOW: So how far has the program spread? Have you been able to get scientists into classrooms in some of those hard to reach areas?
SARAH MCANULTY: We have. So it’s pretty crazy. As you said, we’ve reached 800 classrooms last semester. And we’ve had 500 signed up so far for the fall. And we’ve reached 47 of the 50 states and 28 different countries. And these aren’t all just in metropolitan areas. We’ve gotten to rural areas as well, which is pretty exciting.
IRA FLATOW: And pretty shocked yourself, you must be, about how well this– how successful you’ve been.
SARAH MCANULTY: Absolutely, yeah.
IRA FLATOW: Is it possible by Skyping with a scientist to push back on biased textbooks we know where you might have creationism being taught in science classrooms?
SARAH MCANULTY: Yeah, I wonder if we would even get classrooms signing up from those schools. I mean, if you have a teacher that doesn’t approve, maybe, of the textbooks that they’re using, they could get a real scientist in the class to debunk the kind of stuff that they might be seeing. But we haven’t had any major pushback from principals or anything yet. But that would be a way that we could help out.
IRA FLATOW: There was a really exciting moment on Twitter a couple of months ago. So many different types of scientists from all over the country were tweeting with the actual living scientist hashtag. What was that in response to?
SARAH MCANULTY: Yeah, so many scientists have just sort of felt like there are a couple scientist celebrities kind of that have surfaced– so, of course, Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson. And there was another one of these Twitter campaigns called Bill Nye meet science twitter. And this was very similar to actual living scientist. And the real goal of these kinds of things is just to show people what– the diversity of scientists that are out there.
So just like you said in the opening, you have these pictures of scientists like kooky white men with crazy hair. And we want people to see that, really, scientists are just regular people. And we have hobbies just like everyone else. There are a number of hashtags. Like there was scientists who do yoga and scientists who brew beer and all those sort of things, just to show that we have hobbies like everyone else. And we’re just not as pretentious as we may seem in movies.
Yeah, because if you believe the movie stereotypes, it’s kind of amazing what, you know, what you come up with. Of course, our segment really couldn’t be complete if we didn’t Skype a scientist ourselves. And we have tried to do so, believe me. But our Skype doesn’t want to talk to their Skype.
SARAH MCANULTY: Oh no.
IRA FLATOW: So we’re going to bring– yeah, I’m sorry. We’re going to bring Emily Green in by telephone. She is a PhD student in microbiology at the University of Connecticut too. And she joins us by phone. Welcome to Science Friday.
EMILY GREEN: Hi, thanks for having me.
IRA FLATOW: Now, I know you participated in the Skype a Scientist program. How was it? What classroom did you meet? Tell us about your experience.
EMILY GREEN: Yeah, so about in the Spring semester, Sarah got the Skype a Scientist all set up. And so the classroom I was paired with was in a rural part of Vermont. And I contacted that teacher.
And she’s taught seventh and eighth grade science for that school. And as we were talking, it was realizing that I had a lot in common with these kids. I’m from a small town in central Ohio. And so it was neat to be able to connect with these kids and sort of show them my path into a PhD here in Connecticut and show them that even though they’re from a small area, that there’s so much out there, and even just so much in science that they can start looking at and get interested in.
IRA FLATOW: Did you think you change their minds about what a scientist is and can do?
EMILY GREEN: I think so. They were super into asking questions about the organism I study, about the ants that my lab is studying. And I feel like they realized being a scientist wasn’t– as Sarah was mentioning, something that’s in the movies. But we’re real people. And we can do other things outside of the lab that we’re in.
IRA FLATOW: Were they able to get a new appreciation for the ants also when you talked?
EMILY GREEN: I think they were. They were pretty interested. What was awesome about doing the Skyping is that I can show them the colonies.
IRA FLATOW: Ah.
EMILY GREEN: And so I’m able to take them around the lab. And they’re able to see the people that I’m working with, as well as the neat little creatures I get to study.
IRA FLATOW: Let me ask both of you, Emily and Sarah, a question. We’re living in an era of so-called alternative facts, science deniers that think climate change is a hoax, vaccines are evil, and so on. And as we just heard in the previous segment, scientific advisors are being neglected in Washington. How does this program fit into that landscape?
EMILY GREEN: So, I think being able to reach out to the younger generations right now is so important. Getting them to realize what science is all about and not believing the unfortunate things that are going on in the media and the press, I think this gets them a chance to see the truth and be able to rely on their teachers for that scientific information.
IRA FLATOW: Sarah?
SARAH MCANULTY: Yeah, I agree with Emily. And also, I think it’s really important for us to make emotional connections with people. And I think if you have these personal experiences with students or with adults, it really helps them foster trust in you as a person, and not just this imaginary science that they have in their head. I think a lot of times people might also, in addition to the mad scientist stereotype, might also have this– like on the internet, you hear about scientists being funded by corporations and lying to the public.
And if you meet us, you realize it’s not really what’s going on. And I think that helps a lot. And I think also when you talk to a bunch of kids, they can maybe bring it home and talk about it with their parents, which could help. So this is an interesting way that you could approach this pretty big problem.
IRA FLATOW: OK, so we have scientists now listening to– I’m sure we do– our program. How can a scientist sign up? How can they get on with your program?
SARAH MCANULTY: Yeah, we’d love to have help from scientists. And we’d love to have teachers sign up as well. So all you have to do is go to www.skypeascietist.com. And there will be sign up forms and more information for both teachers and scientists. And we’d love to have.
IRA FLATOW: Are you able to handle the flood that’s going to come your way?
SARAH MCANULTY: I certainly hope so. I have a software engineer named Dinesh who’s been helping me auto-match the program so that I don’t have to sit there and match individually, which has been super helpful. Thanks Dinesh. Yeah, so we should be all right. We should be able to handle it.
IRA FLATOW: And Emily, are you going to continue talking to the kids?
EMILY GREEN: I absolutely am. I am looking forward to the fall. I’m actually going to be working with the same teacher and hopefully many more teachers all across the US around the globe.
IRA FLATOW: Well, I wish you both good luck. And check in with us again, would you?
SARAH MCANULTY: Sure, sure. Thanks.
EMILY GREEN: Absolutely.
IRA FLATOW: Sarah McAnulty, founder of Skype a Scientist, PhD candidate at the University of Connecticut. Emily Green is also a PhD candidate at the University of Connecticut in Storrs. I want to thank both of them for joining us today.

Demand a Reform Contract for All Students!
Join "Don't Hold Us Back"
Tomorrow, November 1st, at LAUSD.
Tomorrow is an important day for all of us who care about public education in Los Angeles. We'll find out if LAUSD and UTLA have reached agreement on a new teacher contract with common sense reforms that benefit all students, not just some.
We know how busy you are, but we're asking you to help in a few ways:
– Attend our rally tomorrow at 9 am outside LAUSD headquarters. Let the board know that the community will no longer accept the status quo.
– Call your school board member to let him or her know that you want a reform contract for your child and every child.
– Ask your friends, family and colleagues to sign the pledge at www.dontholdusbackorg. We're almost at our goal of getting 1,000 pledges signed in 2 weeks.
Attached you'll see our newest L.A. Times ad, which is an open letter to LAUSD and UTLA.
Thank you again for your commitment to this effort. Whatever happens tomorrow, we will not rest until Los Angeles has a contract that truly serves all of its students.

Chamberlin (Gloria, 2005, etc.) breathes life into the ancient Arabic world in this epic historical novel of one girl’s tumultuous search to discover her past.
One scorching summer day, 12-year-old, blue-eyed Rayah participates in a rousing water fight with her aunts and cousins at their home in the desert oasis of Tadmor. When her small cousin, Bushra, slips and lands head first on the mosaic floor, all believe her dead. Rayah prays over the body, and something miraculous happens; underneath her hand, the skull fragments of Bushra’s head fuse and life suddenly fills the toddler’s body. For Rayah, this new, unknown power only fuels her desperation to uncover the truth of her ancestry. She finds unwelcome answers from Sitt Sameh, the woman with the same blue eyes as Rayah, who lives in the harem, yet has no family connection. Sitt Sameh confirms what Rayah doesn’t want to hear: she is Rayah’s mother and carrier of a dangerous secret. But it’s the arrival of a eunuch scribe that demolishes the sanctity of Rayah’s world. His master is Khalid ibn al-Wal?d, the Sword of God. This mighty conqueror is Sitt Sameh’s father and Rayah’s grandfather. The scribe begins reading Khalid’s memoirs, and as Sitt Sameh fills in the details, Rayah learns the astonishing story of her sacred lineage, of blue-eyed women who rode into battle, of the men who loved them, and of the jinn, beings of fire and smoke who helped them. Readers should be prepared to immerse themselves so completely into the ancient Middle East, with its exotic spices, silken veils and hot, desert sands, that leaving it is akin to reemerging into the modern world like Rip Van Winkle. Chamberlin beautifully captures the depth of Rayah’s awakening to her heritage, both emotionally and spiritually, and deftly intertwines the narratives of her mother and grandmother to create a multigenerational saga of love, betrayal, faith and legacy.
Impeccable research and haunting, poetic language create a lush tale to be lingered over and savored.

CommandLineTimer is a tool I can't imagine my life without, I hope you'll like it too.
timer 2m -d"Call somebody"
Whenever you need to be reminded of something, or you have to do something later, just start this program with command line parameters. For my command line tool I have alias:
timer == CommandLineTimer.exe -m
This is how I use it:
timer 2h timer until 9:30 timer 1h 35m -d"Call somebody"
CommandLineTimer icon and tooltip in system tray
Working with time:
timer 2d 4h 8m 16s timer 2 days 4 hours 8 minutes 16 seconds timer until 13:55 timer until tomorrow 00:30 timer u 13:00 timer to 13:00 timer 13:00 etc.
Application parses time using .NET Framework built-in methods, so it's pretty flexible, just try to enter time the way you like.
Available command line parameters:
Application will be minimized to tray on startup:
-c | -close | -closeonstartup | -m | -minimize | -minimizeonstartup | -minimise | -minimiseonstartup | -mini | -min | -tray | -gotray | -gototray

Lips enhancement using hyaluronic acid
- Journal of Dermatology & Cosmetology
Denis Souto Valente,1 Pedro Bins Ely,1 Rafaela Koehler Zanella,2 Georgia Marques Jardim,3 Carolina Guimarães Herzog,3 Gustavo Gianesini,3 Alexandre Vontobel Padoin2
PDF Full Text
Lip filling with hyaluronic acid is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure widely used to improve the appearance of the lips. This review article involved a critical analysis of the available scientific evidence on using hyaluronic acid in lip fillers, including application techniques, complications, and clinical results. The reviewed studies suggest that hyaluronic acid is effective and safe dermal filler for improving lip volume and appearance with a high patient satisfaction rate. However, the product and application technique choice must be carefully evaluated to minimize complications and maximize results. In addition, the knowledge of anatomical structures and the professional’s skill are essential to obtain an aesthetic and natural result.

It’s true that certain exercises have magically benefits that can have a rapid impact on your performance, shape and fitness level. Pull ups are one of those magical exercises that you should incorporate into your regular exercise routine. Pull ups are one of the hardest exercises available, and that’s what makes them even more special and worthwhile. When you master your own body weight by doing pull ups, you have achieved excellent strength in your upper body and abdominals.
Work your upper body – biceps, triceps, lats
During a pull up you’re forced to pull up your own body weight, you are using all the strength you’ve got in your upper body – arms, wrists, shoulders, back and abdominals. This exercises helps these muscles to not only grown and develop, but also to make them stronger. Just because someone has big muscles doesn’t mean that they are really strong. Remember appearance isn’t everything. Pull ups however will give you both the strength and the look you are after in your upper body.
Give you defined abdominals
Take a look around at the people who are including pull ups into their exercise programs. Most of them will probably have better defined abdominals than those on the floor doing hundreds of crunches. Save your time and instead of doing 100 crunches or so, try and do 10 pull ups. As you pull yourself up you have tighten your stomach muscles to give you more strength, this move challenges them and works them much harder than any type of sit up.
Build superior upper body strength
Someone who can do 15 pull ups is in pretty decent physical shape. It’s no trouble doing fifteen bench presses or biceps curls or even lateral pull downs, but managing 15 pull ups on your own is a huge challenge and one that you should be proud of. You’re not only developing upper body muscles but you are increasing your upper body strength. Most people’s lower bodies are much stronger than their upper body, doing pull ups will help even this out.
Pull ups are definitely not for the faint-hearted. If you’re a beginner take it easier. Include them into your program and try to do them at least 3 times per week. In your first session you might only be able to do 1 pull up, that’s fine. The next session you’ll manage 2, than 3 and so on, until you are doing 15. For proper form, it’s best to get the advice of a personal trainer at your local gym. Get them to show you how it’s done and help you achieve your desired fitness goals. Make pull ups your friend.

Apologies for putting these articles out at the pace of a disabled snail, I am hoping to be more prompt in the future as I finally have more time to write. Anyways, finally we continue our look into the CSM codex, here we take a look at the non-special character HQ choices as well as the powers and abilities they may choose from. For those of you who haven’t read the first part, you can find it here http://twentyfirstlegion.com/2014/03/13/chaos-space-marine-review-characters . This time around we’re going to take a look at the non-special character HQ choices and some of the options available to them.
Chaos Lord: The book’s flagship HQ choice is a great deal for an insanely customizable character, in true Space Marine fashion, they can be built to take on pretty much any job you assign them. Want them in the backfield to reinforce a scoring unit? No problem. Need them to break the enemy line and absorb fire for the rest of your army? Sure thing! Seriously, I could sit here and go on for days about various ways to build a CSM Lord. A topic I will discuss in a follow up article sometime. For now as far as this review goes, they find themselves toward the top of the heap in the HQ section IMO. Fun Factor: C (Unlocks any cult troop you wish outside of Thousand Sons) Competitiveness: A (Cheap, versatile, customizable, everything a good HQ should be)
Sorcerer: MAGIC! As with the Lord, these guys are super customizable, having one less wound however makes them a little bit more fragile than their less magical comrade. Having access to the BRB powers (the exceptions being Divination and Telekinesis) more than makes up for it however. The one issue I have with them doesn’t lie with the unit so much as it does the overall bleh powers that are available in the god specific disciplines… Fun Factor: B (Magic and Thousand Sons) Competitiveness: B (Versatile HQ who can potentially make several units in your army better).
Tzeentch: Primaris: Tzeentch’s Firestorm (A 24″, AP – blast that can be anywhere from Str 2 to Str 7 and causes extra hits when you kill models with it) Bleh. Boon of Mutation (Hits a character, most likely the caster, with a Str 4 AP- hit then grants them a roll on the boon table if they survive) Eww. Doombolt (A Str 8 Ap 1 24″ beam that makes explosions go an extra D6) More Bleh. Breath of Chaos (An Ap 2 flame template that wounds/glances a vehicle on a 4+) Not bad, but shouldn’t cost two warp charges. Fun Factor: D (Spend a warp charge to punch yourself in the face for being Chaos, cause Phil Kelly hates you) Competitiveness: E (Soooo give Tzeentch the worst psychic powers in the entire game? The only usable one is crippled by having to pay 2 warp charges to use it, what an awful awful power set)
Nurgle: Primaris: Nurgle’s Rot (A 6″ nova spell that causes D6+1 Ap 5 poison 4+ hits) Too short of range to ever really be useful. Weapon Virus (A 24″ Malediction that causes all ranged weapons in an enemy unit to have the Gets Hot rule) Now this spell can be pretty handy, I don’t ever see it worth taking over Biomancy but it’s very much usable. Gift of Contagion (A 48″ range Malediction that gives an enemy either; -1 Atk/Shrouded, -1 Str/Unit cannot Run, and -1 Str/-1 Tgh) Ok this is pretty good, again nothing on Biomancy, but pretty good considering it’s MASSIVE range. Plague Wind (A 12″ Ap 2 Poisoned 4+ Large Blast) Crappy Range makes it not as good as it could be, if they had made it 24″ we’d be cooking with gas. Fun Factor: B (All the powers are pretty fun mechanically). Competitiveness: B (Easily the best power set of the three, while nothing stands out as incredible almost everything is usable, primaris power being the only exception IMO.)
Slaneesh: Primaris: Sensory Overload (A 24″ range, 4 shot, ap4 whitchfire that causes Blind, Concussive, and Pinning). Has potential but not enough shots to be a threat. Hysterical Frenzy (A 12″ range blessing that gives a friendly unit either; +1 initiative, +1 Str, or +1 Atk). Not a bad power but why only 12″ range? Another almost good power. Symphony of Pain (A 24″ range malediction that subtracts 1 from the WS and BS of an enemy unit. It also gives sonic weapons fired at that unit a +1 Str bonus). Again with the crappy range, so Nurgle can have a 48″ range malediction but the power that buffs guys with 48″ range weapons can only have 24″? Ecstatic Seizures AKA the imperial’s reaction when they read this suckfest of a power set (A 24″ range witchfire that makes all models in a unit take a single Ap – hit at their own Str. Oh for 2 warp charges) I guess Phil wasn’t happy with simply making the psychic powers terrible, it’s important we get you to use up all those pesky warp charges you may win with! Please don’t ever let Kelly touch Chaos again GW, keep him as far away from the design team as possible. Fun Factor: D (The crazy mechanics are just annoying when you realize how ineffective they are). Competitiveness: D (Don’t even think about it, the only thing making these powers even remotely appealing is they have the Tzeentch powers to compare themselves too)
Daemon Prince: Won’t go into too much detail on this fella as I am planning an article solely on DP’s in the future (CSM and Daemon variety). Versatile though not necessarily the cheapest things on the rack, in fact, they can get down right expensive with certain load outs. Setting these bad boys up right can be the difference between a flagship unit and a 360 pt sink. Fun Factor: A (These guys look cool and can do a lot of different things). Competitiveness: B (While they have some minor durability issues when compare to other MC’s. They do more than enough to hold their weight and to justify having one.)
Warpsmith: An odd HQ choice who was intended to represent a chaotic version of the Techmarine. His Shatter Defenses rule allows you to make the cover save of any one piece of terrain in an opponents deployment zone one worse. Sounds great, but the kick in the balls is this cannot be done to a fortification. Once again, it seems like Phil almost wrote something nice then went “Ohhh crap, I almost gave Chaos something good! Silly me!” After which he folds the good idea up and throws it in the draft bin for the Eldar codex…..sorry i’m ranting. Fun Factor: D (It’s an evil Techmarine…..who is not as good as a regular Techmarine) Competitiveness: C (Well he’s useful in a Land Raider list I suppose, by why would you use the HQ slot on him?)
Dark Apostles: Now i’m just getting angry, an ENTIRE character whose gimmick is based around the boon table. Now I’ve stated before on here i’m not as big a hater of the boon table as many others. That being said, I have to sit here and wonder did he ACTUALLY think this codex would survive the edition based on just that table?!? It seems like much in the book is built around you getting to roll on the table, did he really understand how rarely that was going to actually happen when he was writing this? Combat is dead this edition unless you use Flying Monstrous Creatures or a Deathstar, did he honestly believe “Marine Charachters winning challenges and becoming awesome!” was a formula for long term viability? I’m ranting again, sorry. Fun Factor: D (You’re a crappier, spikier Chaplain….AND YOUZ GETZ DA BOON TABLE!!!!!!!!!!! ZOMG!!!!!!!!!!) Competitiveness: D (If anyone has ever even bothered to field one i’d like to meet them)
That’s all for today folks! I’ll be back in a few days to cover the Troops section and do a little more Phil Kelly bashing! Have a good day reader peoples!

One X vs Galaxy S3: HTC explains why its smartphone is better
The recently announced Galaxy S3 has only one worthy Android rival out there, the One X, although from what we’ve seen so far, it’s Samsung’s phone that’s generating more pre-orders and sales than HTC’s handset.
Obviously, HTC isn’t too happy about it. In fact, the Taiwanese Android device maker decided to lower its Q2 outlook after taking into consideration the low European demand and the HTC EVO 4G LTE and One X delays caused by the U.S. Customs across the pond.
To counter the negative effects on sales the Galaxy S3 may have, HTC apparently created some “special packs” for HTC sales teams, which explain why the HTC One X is better than the Samsung flagship device. The documents, available in the gallery bellow, show how HTC defends some of the “flaws” of the One X as follows:
- While the Galaxy S3 is slimmer, the HTC One X is just 0.3mm bigger, but it’s “lighter, feels slimmer and looks way better.”
- The Galaxy S3 has a removable battery, but the HTC One X’s battery can “easily” last a full day. The HTC One X non-removable battery design “allows implementation of unibody design which is more resistant to dust and water.” Furthermore, the Galaxy S3’s removable battery means that users will need a separate battery charger, “often impractical, especially when traveling.” When changing batteries, the Galaxy S3 would have to be turned off to make the change.
- While the Galaxy S3 has a micro SD card slot that lets users bump their total memory, the One X comes with 32GB internal memory and 25GB of Dropbox cloud storage.
- The Galaxy S3 has a bigger display, but it’s “less bright and blush especially from an angle and is lower density.” Moreover, the PenTile technology used by the Galaxy S3 display is “commonly known as being inferior compare [sic] to true HD LCD display.” HTC goes to great lengths to compare the two display technologies by showing the differences between AMOLED and SLCD2 displays and between PenTile and regular RGB-RGB panels.
When it comes to certain specs and features the One X is better than the Galaxy S3, the documentation suggests. It has a:
- Better speed/faster – Quad-core 1.5GHz vs Quad-core 1.4
- Better camera – 70% better quality with f2.0, Faster: 4fps/99 shot, Faster startup: 0.7s vs Poor low light with f2.6, Slower: 3fps/20shots, Slower startup: 0.99sec.
- Better sound – Beats Audio vs “none”
- Better screen – Brighter & cleaner, higher density vs “Dull Bluish,” lower density
- Better durability – Polycarbonate vs Plastic
- Better design – “World acclaimed” vs “Disappointing”
Some of HTC’s claims are rather silly, and can be easily debunked but you can’t blame HTC for trying. At the same time, some of the “flaws” it tries to defend aren’t necessarily flaws. Nevertheless, the One X is definitely a great handset, and alongside the Galaxy S3, they are the best Android smartphones made to date. But as it often is the case in the Android mobile ecosystem, a better high-end smartphone is almost certainly down the road.
At the end of the day, it’s up to buyers to choose between the Galaxy S3 and the One X, and if they end up buying the first one, it’s not necessarily because the Samsung phone is the better choice. There are other factors that could influence that decision. The Galaxy S3’s late announcement, the almost simultaneous launch in several markets including the U.S., Samsung’s marketing efforts and the increased hype around the third device in a family of illustrious predecessors, are all factors that will eventually help the Galaxy S3 beat the One X when it comes to overall sales.
What HTC seems to lack is a strong smartphone brand name – Samsung has a strong “Galaxy S” family of high-end smartphones – although the company has corrected that this year, by launching its “One” line. Hopefully in time, the “One” line would become equally popular.
What smartphone are you buying between the two? We have a Galaxy S3 vs One X video review to help you decide.

St Pat's suffered only their 2nd League defeat of the season last night at Dalymount Park.
A goal in each half for the Gypsies secured the points for the home team, but the Saints enjoyed long spells of possession and will feel unlucky not to have come away with a result.
John McDonnell has injury worries over Stephen Brennan and Gary O'Neill, both of whom were replaced during the second half.

Understanding your customers, their behavior, needs, expectations, and frustrations can create real value for your organization. In this article, we will discuss how you can use modern technology to analyze massive volumes of customer data collected from different sources, and use it to grow your business and achieve your goals.
What is Customer 360?
Over a period of time, customers interact with a product or a company multiple times, across various channels, and for different purposes. These interactions may range anything from visiting the company’s website, buying the product online, calling up the customer helpline service on the phone, visiting a physical store, sending a grievance email, to discussing the product on social media. These events, when viewed in isolation, fail to communicate the experiences and problems of the customers. However, when they are connected to form a story, they reveal the true picture and the insights become valuable.
The process of tracking and analyzing all customer interactions over time, across multiple touchpoints, to create a unified, 360-degree view of the customer is called Customer 360.
Big Data and Customer 360
Today, a customer can interact with a product at multiple touchpoints and some amount of data is generated in each interaction. When this data is collected for a large number of users, it not only becomes massive in volume, but also comes in disparate data formats. For example, the data generated on social media is very different from the data generated in the call center. Therefore, organizations utilize the power of Big Data to collect and understand this information. Once the data is available, they build a BI on Big Data solution to correlate this data and get insights about the customer behavior and their experience with the product or the service.
An Example: Customer 360 at a Leading Software Company
Many successful businesses today use Customer 360 to get instant Insights into billions of customer interactions. A leading multinational computer software company uses Customer 360 to increase their sales and deliver superior customer experiences. With millions of customers across the globe, they collect massive amounts of data from various customer touchpoints and then monitor them closely to get insights into their customer’s behavior.
Their Customer 360 solution helps them get answers to important business questions such as, which marketing activities lead to more product downloads, which product features improve the users’ experience, how do support calls in the call center affect customer retention, why a subscription got cancelled, and so on. This helps them evaluate their business strategies and take steps to improve their services.
How can it help you?
Customer 360 can help you get visibility into your customer’s experience and use the insights to improve your customer’s experience by offering better services. You can also detect problems and take corrective actions. For example, if you notice that customers who cancelled their subscription were not attended properly by the customer service department, you know you need to improve your support services to retain your customers. In fact, you can go into the details of the call to identify the real cause behind the issue.
Besides this, the insights can also be used to increase revenue by identifying opportunities for acquisition of new customers. For example, if you identify a prospective customer who visited your store as well as clicked on your social media ad, you can convert him instantly by offering a quick promotion deal.
These are just examples. Customer 360 offers unlimited potential that can help you build long-term relationships with your customers and maintain competitive edge. Depending upon your business, you can use the insights in innovative ways to achieve your goals.
To create real business impact, you must start with defining the key goals you want to achieve with your Customer 360 solution. Once the goals are clear, you must identify the right data sources and create a consolidated view or data lake that stores all the data in one place. The next and the most important step is to build a Big Data analytics platform on the data lake that enables users across your organization to get insights from this data.
Customer 360 helps you understand the business impact of thousands of customer journeys that take place every day and use the knowledge to fuel the growth of your organization.

Our world has seemingly flipped upside down in recent weeks as we adjust to strict new guidelines that govern our daily lives in the wake of COVID-19. The outbreak and how we must tackle its spread has left many of us questioning what we can do, who we can see and how we can see them, and if this will ever come to an end.
Perhaps one of the most difficult things we are facing as Christians is our inability to celebrate together the most holy season of Easter. Our churches have been all but shuttered during a time when we need and are crying out to God most.
Living Word Lutheran Church has one simple message for everyone reading this post: Just Keep Praying.
Jeremiah 29:11 tells us that God “knows the plans he has for [us], plans to prosper [us] and not to harm [us], plans to give [us] hope and a future.”
The truth is, we won’t be able to see each other in a physical sense during Holy Week. But God Himself is not a physical being, and our faith must not be bound to the physical worship services we are used to. We can still be together in a spiritual sense, and to make that easier, you’ll be able to watch and listen to Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday services on Facebook and our new YouTube channel.
We are blessed to live in a time where technology affords us the opportunity to still keep in contact during the days of social distancing. Don’t be discouraged. Don’t give in to anxiety or depressing thoughts. Don’t let the devil try to convince you that God is not listening or that he has left us behind. As the old saying goes, this too shall pass.
Psalm 46:1-3 (NIV) reminds us that “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.”
If we keep our faith, God will see us through this crisis. When the national emergency declarations have been rescinded and social distancing orders lifted, may we all have a renewed spirit and enthusiasm to rejoin our brothers and sisters in Christ at Living Word and beyond. May we have a new appreciation for what it means to worship together in the house of the Lord.
Many thanks to Pastor Mark Dill for recording mid-week and Sunday Lenten services and sending them to our congregation. Authored by Caitlin Squires, member of LWLC.

The UJA-Federation of New York set a Guinness World Record making 1,660 sandwiches in one hour to be donated to feed the hungry. The sandwich marathon was part of the annual Mitzvah Day, dedicated to doing good deeds to benefit local Jewish communities.
After recording the event for Guinness World Record certification, the sandwiches were donated to the Queens Jewish Community Council in Forest Hills and to the Long Island-based Interfaith Nutrition Network.
“UJA-Federation mitzvah projects are designed to energize children and families from the Jewish community into action,” explained Amy Mandell, co-chair of the UJA-Federation Guinness World Record. “The challenge of making more than 1,500 sandwiches to set the record in just one hour stepped up the excitement into a frenzy of good will.”

2015-2021 Guadalupe Fur Seal and 2015 Northern Fur Seal Unusual Mortality Event in California, Oregon and Washington (CLOSED)
The Unusual Mortality Event (UME) involving Guadalupe and northern fur seals that began in January 2015 is over.
The Unusual Mortality Event (UME) involving Guadalupe and northern fur seals that began in January 2015 is over. The event was investigated by NOAA Fisheries and partners and was defined as occurring from January 1, 2015, to September 2, 2021, along the California, Oregon, and Washington coastlines.
715 Guadalupe fur seals and 170 northern fur seals stranded during the event. The majority of strandings between 2015 and 2021 were malnourished and emaciated weaned pups and yearlings (<2 years old). Based on necropsy, histopathology, diagnostic and environmental findings, the UME was attributed to malnutrition in Guadalupe and northern fur seals from ecological factors in the Pacific Ocean causing suboptimal prey conditions. These suboptimal prey conditions were most likely driven by unusually warm water oceanographic conditions in the Pacific Ocean at the time due to the “Warm Water Blob”, El Niño, and several ocean heatwaves.

From the New York Times: E-Mail Is Easy to Write (and to Misread).
Still, if we rely solely on e-mail at work, the absence of a channel for the brain’s emotional circuitry carries risks. In an article to be published next year in the Academy of Management Review, Kristin Byron, an assistant professor of management at Syracuse University’s Whitman School of Management, finds that e-mail generally increases the likelihood of conflict and miscommunication.
One reason for this is that we tend to misinterpret positive e-mail messages as more neutral, and neutral ones as more negative, than the sender intended. Even jokes are rated as less funny by recipients than by senders.
We fail to realize this largely because of egocentricity, according to a 2005 article in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. Sitting alone in a cubicle or basement writing e-mail, the sender internally “hears” emotional overtones, though none of these cues will be sensed by the recipient.
In case you didn’t notice the publication date, that article is from eight long years ago. Eight. The year the first iPhone came out, just to give you a benchmark for how far back in the mists of time we’re talking about here.
So, surely we rely on written electronic communication even more now than we did then: IMs, text messages, Slack, Twitter, Github issues, website comment threads, etc. Increased use of emoticons and emojis can help make our intended message and tone more clear – that’s why I don’t hesitate to use them, despite some people feeling that such things are somehow for teenagers – but working against better clarity is the tendency toward shorter, more abbreviated messages and responses.
The harsh truth of that article (you should read the whole thing) is at least as true today as it was in 2007: there is always – always – something lost in these written communications, and we would do well to remember that, whether we’re the writer, or the reader.

Dachau, Munich Area, Germany
The barracks and lavatories were drab grays and browns, concrete and bricks, lifeless, seemingly unfit for human use. One could still run fingers over the “ovens” and through the ashes, and gaze numbly down upon the signs denoting pistol ranges for execution and mass graves of thousands unknown, systematically tortured and annihilated against their wills. Standing in the so-called showers with concrete on four sides and only one way in and one way out was stomach churning. The obviously well maintained graveside gardens in various hues of reds, magentas, and purples did nothing to cheer up the solemn morning; there was the realization that those flowers probably weren’t there at the time this house of horrors was in operation.
Gazing up, there was the huge white guard tower silhouetted against a lush green forest and sapphire skies, but gazing down: barbed wire and electrical fence. Crossing the barren dirt area between the barracks and the ovens and showers, chills radiated down the spine trying to process the thought of how for so many, this was their final march to death. Exiting via the black iron gate “arbeit macht frei” was the equally sickening realization that I get to physically leave this horrible place, while thousands never had the same opportunity.
Yad Vashem, Jerusalem
Upon entering the Children’s Memorial at Yad Vashem on Har Hazikaron, the Mount of Remembrance in west Jerusalem, Israel’s tribute to the millions relentlessly tortured and executed during the Holocaust as well as the Gentiles that sacrificed their lives amidst those sinister years, seeing the glow and gentle flicker of innumerable candles reflecting and refracting off mirrors giving the impression of walking among the star-studded skies and hearing far away voices murmuring the names of murdered children resulted in powerful memories of Dachau flooding my mind. Said memories culminated with the starry night effect, the names of the 22 concentration camps etched in stone, and the very design of the museum, the sensation of entrapment with no exit and no way out until navigating the entire zig-zag design of ropes and displays that it hit home more as to how the Holocaust helped propel the creation of the modern State of Israel. While one can undeniably read about these events in history books, textbooks rarely spur such perspectives as actually visualizing and touching tangible artifacts of history.
Whereas Dachau focused on a factual account of Hitler’s election, the opening of Dachau in 1933 as the first of the concentration camps, the invasion of Warsaw, and a general remembrance of the Jewish people and other minorities slaughtered, Yad Vashem and especially the Children’s Memorial fueled less traditional, less textbook-like-history-class-like sentiments. Letters, photographs, the Garden of Righteousness, and conversations with the locals preserve not the memories of those who perished, both Jewish and Gentile, but a theme of hope of unity among the Jewish people to aliyah to Eretz Yisrael from all countries to integrate geographically, spiritually, and morally. Not only was there hope that a country emerge bonded by the common experiences of stench, starvation, and skeletons, but hope that the world would learn a powerful lesson and never repeat such atrocities.
While a chilling sadness cannot help but prevail, there is a deeper realization of how a state was reborn from the ashes to become the technological, agricultural, spiritual, innovative, self-sufficient New Jersey-sized nation-state that it is today, a diverse people from all walks of life motivated by a common goal to coalesce, never forget, but simultaneously work together to build a better tomorrow.
We have sinned against you. You reign forever. Remember us in your mercy. Grant us the grace to be ashamed of what we men have done, to be ashamed of this massive idolatry, of having despised and destroyed our own flesh which you formed from the earth, to which you gave life with your own breath of life. Never again, Lord, never again!
--- Pope Francis’ address at the Yad Vashem, 26 May 2014

Houston's VA claims backlog outpaces nation’s
VA claims and appeals pile up in Houston
Thousands wait months for word on benefits
Houston is at the heart of a growing national crisis involving the backlog of claims at the Department of Veterans Affairs that’s approaching a record 1 million, including thousands of returning service members injured in Iraq or Afghanistan.
Nearly 18,000 veterans are waiting for the Houston VA Regional Office to process their applications for disability benefits, according to the most recent data released by the VA. What’s even more troubling for some veteran advocates is the fact that 26 percent of those claims in Houston have been pending for more than half a year, compared to 21 percent nationwide.
Total claims in Houston, including nondisability compensations and pensions, add up to almost 24,000, with 24 percent pending over six months. That percentage, too, is higher than the national average.
Houston also currently has 11,389 claims in appeal, more than anywhere else in the country.
Among ‘worst’ in U.S.
Overwhelmed, the Houston VA Regional Office has outsourced some of its claims processing to VA facilities elsewhere in Texas and other states.
“The situation at VA’s Houston office is among the worst in America — more than 20,000 veterans are waiting for a claim decision from VA, and more than one in four veterans already waited more than six months for an answer from VA,” said Paul Sullivan, executive director of Veterans for Common Sense, a national advocacy group. “Our veterans and their families deserve better.”
A Houston VA Regional Office spokeswoman said the number of claims received by the facility have increased by 26 percent since last year, a trend that represents more than twice the national average of 12 percent.
“While the total workload pending has grown in light of this, improvements have been made with regard to processing timeliness,” Valerie Martinez said in a statement.
In addition to outsourcing, she said, the Houston VA Regional Office has been authorized to hire 105 employees to improve efficiency.
The average wait to complete a disability claim in Houston is about 192 days, an improvement over last year’s average of 222 days.
The waiting game
Tomball native Richard Jimenez is all too familiar with the VA’s waiting game. Every time the 27-year-old Marine veteran gets a VA form letter in the mail, he barely glances at it before tossing it in the trash.
The letters all say the same thing: That the appeal of his disability claim rating for injuries he suffered during two tours in Iraq and Afghanistan is still being processed. He’s been told to expect a two- to five-year wait.
“It perplexes me that people could get welfare in a much smaller time frame,” he said.
Jimenez first applied for disability benefits three years ago after being diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, constant ringing in his ears, arthritis in both knees, hearing loss, traumatic brain injury and pain caused by a bone fragment in his back.
He meticulously filled out the VA’s 23-page application and waited eight months for his claim to be processed. The appeal he filed to challenge his disability rating — which determines his level of benefits — has been pending since April of last year.
“To me it’s not even about the money,” Jimenez said. “It’s principle more than anything. I volunteered to join the military. I didn’t even know what disability was at the time, so I never expected anything, but if they do offer I think they should follow through on it.”
Veterans advocates say the complex claims process takes far too long, especially for seriously wounded veterans, some of whom face financial hardship or possible homelessness while they await disability checks.
“They’re dependent right now for the VA to make the quickest decision possible, and a lot of them are paying their bills off of credit cards or going into debt,” said John Roberts, national service director for Wounded Warrior Project, a nonprofit that assists injured Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.
Jump in claims
Roberts worked as a supervisor in the disability claims division at the Houston VA Regional Office before leaving to take a job with Wounded Warrior Project in 2007.
He traces Houston’s problems to poor leadership and a staff shortage, compounded by a flood of new claims.
Nationwide, the total number of VA claims has increased from 638,648 this time last year to 723,152, as of June 20. The number of appeals went from 173,682 to 195,194.
At a congressional hearing in Washington last week, VA Deputy Undersecretary for Benefits Michael Walcoff said it is incorrect to designate all these claims as a backlog because the total number “includes all claims received, whether pending for just a few hours or as long as six months.”
Roberts said that’s semantics. “Every number still represents a veteran waiting for a decision,” he said.
He attributes the bump in claims to troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with severe injuries and mental health problems, as well as legislation that made it easier for Vietnam veterans exposed to Agent Orange to qualify for disability payments.
“All that took place, and it kind of put Houston in a hole they haven’t been able to dig themselves out of,” he said.
Stress on employees, too
Right now, the Houston VA Regional Office doesn’t have enough low-level mail sorters and filing clerks or senior officials trained to process and review claims, Roberts said. “It’s a large volume of paperwork, and they basically don’t have the manpower to handle that,” he said. “It causes a lot of stress not only on the veteran but a lot of times on the VA employees themselves.“
Jimenez, for one, isn’t waiting around for a check to arrive in the mail. He’s studying biology at the University of Houston. Scheduled to graduate in 2011, he jokes he could earn his bachelor’s before the VA finishes with his appeal. For now, he has a part-time job at a car dealership to make ends meet.
“It’s been tough, but like I said, I survived two wars. I can survive the civilian world,” Jimenez said. “Just work a lot of overtime and learn to budget well.”

In Reply to: Are these new terms? posted by ESC on January 28, 2004
: I collected a couple of terms that are new to me on an online discussion forum. The posters believe they originated the following:
: NEANDERSEXUAL - A traditional male - the polar opposite of metrosexual.
: RECIDIVIST RELATIONSHIP -- Going back to an old boyfriend or girlfriend.
Neandersexual. Is this new? Well, I haven't seen it before, and I hope not to see it again. Obviously the term is intended to suggest a sexually primitive beetle-browed early man that is anything but sapiens (Neanderthal, a designation of certain early hominids based on remains found in the valley of the Neander River). We are supposed to believe that Neanderthal men were sexual primitives, cave men armed with clubs dragging their women by the hair. Is that what is meant by a "traditional male"? Since we know virtually nothing about the sexual behavior of early man, I think it is not only an inappropriate coinage, but suggests a deep ignorance on the part of the coiner. SS

I recently received good review of Raising Cats Naturally. Yea! The book continues to sell well, which is of course, good for me, but it's also good for cats because it means their caregiver is considering better care for them. I hate to think of all the cats eating dry food and being sick from it. They can't talk, so often they can't express how they feel. I know how I feel after eating crap food. I wouldn't wish that on anyone (well, most anyone).

People Are Obsessed With Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Here’s How to Get a Vegan One.
It’s that time of year again. Leaves are falling, the evenings are becoming cool and crisp, and the pumpkin spice latte frenzy has officially begun. Here’s everything you’ll need to enjoy one of the best parts of the season without the unnecessary animal suffering:
Make Your Own Pumpkin Spice Latte:
Brew a cup of your favorite espresso (or strong coffee) and add one of the following:
- Silk’s Pumpkin
- So Delicious
Pumpkin Spice Coconut Milk
- Trader Joe’s
Pumpkin Spice Almond Beverage
Having trouble finding one of these at your local grocer? Try this instead:
- 1 teaspoon unsweetened canned pumpkin
- ¼ cup heated soymilk
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or more to taste)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or agave nectar
- Nondairy whipped cream (optional)
Stop by Peet’s Coffee:
While the pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks is not vegan, Peet’s Coffee is essentially a vegan haven, especially when it comes to our favorite seasonal drink! Choose between Peet’s pumpkin latte or dark chocolate pumpkin mocha. And if coffee isn’t really your thing, give the pumpkin chai latte a shot.
BONUS: Peet’s offers vegan whipped cream!!
· Panera Bread is another café that offers this famed holiday drink using real pumpkin! Be sure to ask for soymilk and skip the salted caramel sauce!

Neuzelle Abbey- close to heaven The Seenland Oder-Spree without barriers
I had already heard a lot about Neuzelle Abbey. Yet for some reason, I had always put off visiting. My curiosity grew, though, when I read in the media that Cistercian monks from Heiligenkreuz Abbey in Austria were moving back in there. 200 years after the closure of the abbey in 1817, monastic life was returning to Neuzelle. I found that so exciting that I immediately started planning my trip.

Robert Randolph has taken the joyous, spiritual side of Sunday sermons and crammed it into his latest album Brighter Days. Growing up playing music in church, it's understandable that the songs are rooted in faith, hope and redemption, yet, it's not preachy or evangelical. The record strives to create the celebratory sound that uplifts and inspires through music, rather than religion.
Dave Cobb's production has a flat room sound, like the whole album has been recorded in a church – but the Family band best to blow the roof off with their ebullience. At times the songs throw out the verse chorus structure, opting for a repetition of a refrain setting up a gospel style song of praise, while tracks like Have Mercy focus on making us grateful for the small things through musical humility. Simple Man's melancholic blues tones opines the state of the world and longs for a simpler time. On Cry Over Me, his sister Lenesha Randolph, takes the lead with a crystal clean vocal performance, reaffirming this as a family affair.
Although the steel playing encompasses everything from 70s funk, blues, even broadening out to a Sonny Landreth style Zydecco attack at times, it's not the best exponent of Randolph's skills, not that this matters, this isn't a showcase album. The Raison d'être of Brighter Days is to reaffirm music as the ultimate joy bringer, and it will certainly leave you feeling musically nourished.

Hannah Courage of Durweston, Dorset, England96968_000_009
Hannah’s full name is Hannah Alexandria Victoria Evilyn Courage. It’s a mouthful, but it fits the petite nine-year-old perfectly. The first name came to her mother in a dream. The next three were added by Hannah’s father so that her initials and family name would always remind her to H.A.V.E. Courage.
She does. She is especially fearless in defense of the rights of others. If someone is being picked on, she leaps to the rescue. “She can get herself in awful trouble protecting people,” her father says. “She even confronts teachers if she feels someone’s being treated unjustly.”
Hannah feels great empathy for anyone who is hurting in any way. And she does something about it. A boy who started school at the same time she did had suffered from neglect and could hardly speak. “Hannah took him under her wing and helped him gain confidence,” her father remembers. “Within a year he was communicating properly and reading well. She also taught him to swim and to fit in with the other children.” Now he’s a good student and Hannah’s self-appointed protector. “She’s always sorting people out at school. In fact she gets into trouble for not getting her own work done because she’s always helping others.”
Her caring isn’t limited to her human friends. She has fifteen frogs in a pond, and she’s named them all. She also has a rabbit and a cat. It’s not surprising that she wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up.
“Hannah loves animals,” her mother says. “She’s not afraid of any of them. When she was a little girl, we had a riding stable nearby, and she used to walk between the horses’ legs. We’d say, ‘You mustn’t do that!’ But the horses didn’t take any notice, and neither did she. Animals come to her like a magnet—stray dogs and all kinds of cats. She just gets round them somehow, even supposedly vicious cats.”
The only animals that seem immune to Hannah’s charms are cows, of which there are many in this dairy farming region. They just look her over with their big eyes and then walk away.
Hannah also wants to be an artist. She draws well, listens to classical music, plays the recorder, and is very good at making models. She’s helpful in the kitchen and outside in the garden, and she helps her father with his large cactus collection. He has over 1400 cacti. Many of them are rare; some are extinct in the wild.
Hannah enjoys the outdoors. She loves to ride horses and takes riding lessons. As time allows, she rides her bike; plays football (soccer), rugby, netball, and field hockey; and roller-blades.
She also likes to hike through the beautiful green countryside. Every walk she takes is a stroll into the past. Nearby, the ruins of an ancient hill fort face the ruins of a Roman encampment on the opposite hillside. In Dorset and adjoining counties, ancient people carved immense figures into hillsides by cutting through the foliage to expose the white chalky soil beneath it. Some thirty miles to the northeast in Wiltshire is Stonehenge—a circle of huge standing stones that is one of the great man-made wonders of the world.
Hannah herself has plucked the past from the earth. In digging a foundation for a rabbit hutch, Brother Courage unearthed an odd-shaped piece of metal. Hannah pounced on it and insisted that it was a valuable artifact. She was right! Experts confirmed it to be a quillon (a centuries-old-dagger); it is now on loan to a museum in Blandford. She also discovered the base of a thirteenth-century blue-glass vase!
The house that Hannah lives in is relatively young at only 192 years of age. Its top floor is built like a ship’s deck, with elm timbers from an old sailing vessel. The house was originally part of the barracks where Lord Portman housed his private army. Now the barracks has been divided into several houses and is known as Barracks Row. The village of Durweston is a beautiful place where each house has a name, and some have thatched roofs.
In 1993 Hannah had an experience that was not about the past but the eternal future. She was sealed to her parents in the London Temple. A friend of the family made her a beautiful white dress for the occasion. The night before the sealing, the family stayed in a room overlooking the temple. “We didn’t get much sleep that night,” Hannah’s mother recalls. “Hannah kept waking up every hour to make sure that the temple was still there. ‘Oh, it’s so beautiful!’ she kept saying. After we had been sealed the next day, she said, ‘I love it. I want to come back.’ She didn’t think that it was fair that we could keep going to the temple but she would have to wait until she was ‘really old’ at twelve to do baptisms for the dead.”
“I liked the cafeteria and the sealing rooms,” Hannah says. “The sealing rooms had mirrors on both sides, and we could see our family going on forever.”
Her family attends the Salisbury Branch, about a half hour drive from home. Although Hannah likes going to church on Sunday, she hates having to wear a dress. She’s much more comfortable in jeans. At her brother’s wedding she wanted to wear her wellies (boots) with her bridesmaid dress.
When Brother Courage was naming Hannah, he first chose Venus for her V name instead of Victoria, because to him his infant daughter was the brightest star in the sky. She still is.

It feels good to give, doesn’t it? We think so! That’s why we do this every year. This is our seventh year of 24 Hour Web Project, and if there’s one thing that all of the non-profits we’ve worked with have in common, it’s the need to do some serious fundraising. How serious? That depends on your definition of serious. (When we’re sleep deprived we tend to play fast and loose with the term).
Here are some ways you can support the school over the next 16 hours or so. Keep an eye on our Twitter page to learn more: Or - save yourself some time and just donate here. Who'll give me $24? Come on - it's a dollar an hour, surely we''ve earned that?
- Pick the Art Teacher’s new hair color
- Make Jeb do Push-ups
- Pay us to Wake Up and Nay Nay
- Donate and get your hands on our toys

Research has shown that schools themselves contribute significantly to the dropout problem. The practices and policies in place can create conditions that push students out of school unintentionally.
The biggest policy barriers tend to be related to behavior, attendance and discipline.
The National Dropout Prevention Center lists some school-related factors associated with dropping out. These are:
- Conflict between home/school cultures
- Ineffective discipline system
- Lack of adequate counseling
- Negative school climate
- Lack of relevant curriculum
- Passive instructional strategies
- Inappropriate use of technology
- Disregard of student learning styles
- Low expectations
- Lack of language instruction
Why is it important?
Schools are increasingly tasked with meeting the needs of an increasingly diverse student population. However, school policies and procedures seem inflexible, unaccommodating, and unchanging to meet the population it serves.
There are many areas in which a school can reform in order to better support student success. Reforming policies and procedures concerning discipline and attendance, grading, standards, and assessments, retention, and in areas like school structure and class assignment, course content and instructional practices, school climate and relationships can greatly impact student success.
CDE’s PPA (link)
The Policies and Practices Assessment is designed to assist local education providers in assessing their policies, practices, programs and services that play a role in dropout prevention and student re-engagement.
The ‘Preventing Future High School Dropouts’ publication provides information on programs, practices and policies that increase high school graduation rates.
The report ‘Dropout Prevention: Do Districts Pursue Best Practice Recommendations?’ highlights policies and practices to ensure students have a comprehensive system of student and learning supports.
The ‘What Works Clearinghouse’ provides reviews on dropout prevention interventions.
The ‘What Works Clearinghouse’ has a ‘Practice Guide’ that provides recommendations that focus on reducing high school dropout rates.

SEPTEMBER 4, 1947
HYDE PARK, Wednesday—I have been reading over the report of the infantile paralysis center at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis gave the money to build this center as an adjunct of the John A. Andrews Memorial Hospital, and it opened its doors in 1941. Before I visited it, I had been told that poliomyelitis was rare among colored children. However, I am glad the center was established, for in reading this report the horrid thought suggests itself to me that perhaps the disease is "rare" among Negro children because we do not always know about the cases.
This center is designed primarily to take exceptional cases, so that doctors and nurses may be trained and may do research. The equipment must be of the best, since here people learn what they must do in other places. I went through the center in its very early beginnings, and this report indicates that they have made strides since then. Every type of treatment is given. And I hope it will mean that, all over the country, better care will spread in congested areas as well as in rural areas, where so often the doctors have known little or nothing about the treatment of this disease.
* * *
I was interested to hear from one of my neighbors, who lives in a rural area not far from here, that a considerable organization is being formed to promote Sister Kenny clinics. I am wondering whether this is being done because it is felt that her methods are not well enough known. I remember very well that the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis was asked to continue the grants made for her work, and at that time I understood that hospitals throughout the country had adopted her treatment for patients who could benefit from it.
Her treatment should certainly be known in every hospital in the country and it should be used, but she has not found a cure any more than have the people to whom research grants are made by the National Foundation. Therefore, I was glad to hear the other day that the foundation had made a grant for research in a wider field, since I cannot help believing that perhaps the answer to infantile paralysis will come through someone who is doing research in a different though an allied field.
* * *
Our house has seemed much emptier today. Elliott's three children from Texas went down to New York City yesterday morning, and by now he is speeding with them by train across the country, since school will soon be opening. The summer is really drawing to a close.
The house seems strangely quiet, though we have had three other young people in or around it all day. Miss Thompson remarked that unless someone came yelling into her room every morning like an Indian on the warpath, she did not think she could possibly do her work, and I have a little the same feeling! Three children cannot possibly keep one as busy as six!
Those who are here now will soon be beginning school, so before long we will have to be content with our own adult society, and somehow we do not furnish each other with as much interest and excitement every moment of the day!

I know some of you are probably looking at the purple watch and thinking, “that’s so childish” and it’s true that this particular watch is actually listed as a children’s watch by some sellers. What can I say, I guess I was in a childish mood that day but it seemed really funky, colorful and fun to me.
The watch reminds me of those charity “awareness” bracelets (e.g. Livestrong bracelets), Silly Bandz and the really thin jelly bracelets that I remember from my own childhood in the ’80s-’90s. Watch #3 is made of a similar rubbery silicone material BUT it tells time, too. LOL. Plus, I think the purple color’s really pretty.
I think it looks cool and casual on my wrist but out of all the watches I’ve purchased from eBay so far this watch is probably the cheapest looking one. You can tell just by looking at the plastic watch face.
This watch is also quite difficult to wear and I can understand why so many sellers list this item as a children’s watch. I thought I had thin hands and wrists but it was a bit of a struggle getting the watch onto my wrist despite the fact that this watch is made of a stretchy, silicone material. It has a little bit of give but it’s not that stretchy. I had to sort of slowly roll the watch up my fingers and hand and onto my wrist. I was afraid of stretching the watch too much and snapping the watch into pieces.
In my opinion, I think this watch would definitely be better for kids and tweens with small hands rather than adults. It’s so light and comfortable on the wrist that I can hardly feel it. I doubt it’s waterproof though.
I purchased the purple watch for $1.92 with free shipping, and it took 11 days to arrive in the mail from China. I’ll link the seller here. I’m not affiliated with this seller in any way except for being a satisfied customer.
The next watch, watch #4, is probably my favorite out of all the eBay watches I’ve purchased so far because it combines the best characteristics of all the watches I’ve bought in one.
Watch #4 has that contrasting skinny watch band and large watch face that I think is so cool about watch #1; however, the watch band is adjustable and much more secure. I don’t have to worry about watch #4 accidentally falling off my wrist the way I do with watch #1.
In addition, watch #4’s band is made of that light silicone material that I like about watch #3 but with a far nicer glass watch face. The face has sort of a frosted glass finish which is rather interesting in my opinion.
Watch #4’s band is also a lot more comfortable than the stiff, faux leather band of watch #2, and the watch face is also a bit smaller than watch #2’s. I feel that watch #2 looks too big for my hand. Watch #4 is more feminine and dainty in comparison.
In fact, I like watch #4 so much I decided to get another one in black right after I received the white one. AND I’m actually considering getting a few more colors. That’s how much I like it.
I purchased this watch for $2.37 with free shipping. Unfortunately, the seller I bought the white watch from no longer has any more watches or items up for sale so I can’t link you. However, here are some other sellers who have the same watch up for sale in a bunch of other colors in addition to white: A and B. I’m not affiliated with either seller and I’ve never purchased from them so I can’t vouch for either one. I chose two random sellers to list here but there are many, many other eBayers selling the same watch so you may want to look around because it’s likely you’ll find an eBayer selling this watch for even less.

Organic Agricultural Practices
This title includes a number of Open Access chapters.
Organic practices are quickly redefining how agriculture is done around the world, as we come to realize how detrimental conventional agriculture is to local and global environments and economies. This book serves as an overview of some of the important topics in organic agriculture. The volume is broken into several sections which explore the effects of organic practices on crop productivity, the use of biofertilizers, plant cultivars, and compare the environmental impact with conventional agriculture. Also covered are the following topics:
â€¢ï€ Organic agriculture as a strategy to combat many of the negative effects of conventional agriculture, such as pollution and loss of soil fertility
â€¢ï€ How practices, such as the use of biofertilizers, can enhance plant growth over the use of chemical fertilizers
â€¢ï€ Vermicompost and the high potential to benefit land in agricultural use
â€¢ï€ Organic practices’ associations with increased soil fertility, increased biodiversity, and greenhouse gas sequestration
â€¢ï€ The negative effects of organic agriculture practices, such as an increase in nitrogen pollution or pests
This easily accessible reference volume offers a comprehensive guide to this rapidly expanding field. Edited by an experienced writer with experience in both food systems and agricultural sociology, Organic Agricultural Practices: Alternatives to Conventional Agricultural Systems is an authoritative and easy-to-use reference, ideal for both researchers in the field and students who wish to gain an overview to this important field of study.

Denise Austin's Top-9 Tricks for Getting Fit This Fall
If slimming down is on your to-do list this fall, try these ten tips from fitness expert Denise Austin to help you get motivated and lose weight — all while enjoying the wonderful gifts the season has to offer!
Have your kids just headed back to school? For kids, fall is a fresh beginning — but just because you’re not headed back to school for a new year doesn’t mean you can’t have your own fresh start! Start by cleaning out your cupboards and dumping any junk food that has crept in over the past few months (yes, that means those cookies must go!). Then, revamp your workout routine by trying out a class at your local gym, buying some new exercise DVDs, or even just mixing up your usual walking route. New routines will rejuvenate your mind-set and get you feeling invigorated about your healthy goals, motivating you to stay on course!
Squeeze in Mini-Workouts
With fall comes jam-packed schedules that leave little time for exercising. Instead of attempting to carve out an entire hour from your day — which may result in you skipping your workout altogether — break down your daily workouts into ten-minute mini-sessions you can squeeze into your lunch hour or other breaks. For example, commit to a few stretches and aerobic moves (such as jumping jacks or knee lifts) when you wake up, take a brisk walk before lunch at the office, and extend yourself with an early-evening yoga session.
Savor the Season's Produce
Healthy eating has a bad rep of being boring, but this is so far from the truth! Keep your diet from turning bland by trying out some of the delicious fall produce now coming in to season. Fruits like apples, blackberries, and cranberries are juicier (and cheaper!) in the fall and make yummy healthy additions to desserts. And try incorporating nutrient-packed autumn vegetables like squash, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes into your recipes. This Gingered Pumpkin Pudding is an Austin family favorite!
After a summer full of barbecues, lounging by the pool, and fruity, frozen cocktails, I bet you’re not the only one who needs to get back into the swing of healthy eating and exercise. Why not recruit a friend and vow to get fit together? It’s much easier to stick to a plan when there’s someone else holding you accountable: It may be easy to talk yourself out of exercising after a long day, but if your partner is waiting for you at the gym, you’ll be more motivated to show up!
Sip Soothing Tea
Drinking tea is not only good for your health, but it’s also a great, low-calorie way to satisfy a craving for a fancy cool-weather drink from your local coffee shop (that pumpkin latte may be delicious, but it’s a major calorie bomb!). Try out some fall-flavored teas like caramel-apple, pumpkin spice, or vanilla-cinnamon. A warm mug of one of these delicious teas makes for a perfect soothing fall beverage, minus the fat and calories of those other drinks.
Get Outside and Get Moving
Crisp fall weather is perfect for getting outside and burning some calories! There are a ton of fun, healthy seasonal activities you and your family can take advantage of, such as apple and pumpkin picking, raking leaves with your kids, and riding bikes through the local park to enjoy the colorful fall foliage. You’ll be so busy enjoying the beautiful weather and scenery that you won’t even realize you are burning some major calories at the same time!
Eat the Most Important Meal
Did you know that eating breakfast can help rein in your appetite for the rest of the day? Breakfast gives our bodies that all-important first energy boost of the day — and it keeps us from snacking and overindulging at lunch and dinner. Step it up from the typical cold bowl of cereal: Try some warm, comforting fall breakfasts like hot oatmeal and bananas with cinnamon or a drizzle of maple syrup. Yum!
Take Advantage of the Shorter Daylight Hours
Getting enough rest is key to keeping your energy levels up. Without enough energy you’ll never be able to power through a workout! I am a big believer in getting at least eight hours of sleep a night. If you’re working out, you are already on the right path, since women who exercise regularly tend to sleep better. Other ways to ensure a better night’s rest are to do something relaxing before bed like take a bath or read a book, have a cup of warm tea, and make sure your bedroom is dark, quiet, and comfortable.
Spice It Up
Fall is a great season to find fresh herbs and spices, and cooking with them is an excellent way to add flavor to your meals without adding extra calories. Turmeric, thyme, ginger, paprika, and rosemary are all great low-calorie options for seasoning pasta and meat dishes, and spices like cinnamon add a delicious punch of fall flavor to dessert recipes and warm beverages.
Get a Head Start on the Holidays
Believe it or not, New Year’s is less than four months away! Most of our New Year’s resolutions include losing weight or getting fit, so why not start now and enter 2012 as a fitter, healthier you? Set mini goals for yourself to achieve from now until January 1st, all leading up to your big New Year’s goal. Maybe you want to fit into that slinky little black dress for a New Year’s Eve party or ring in the new year five pounds lighter. Commit to a healthy, slimmed-down fall and you’ll be well on your way to looking and feeling fabulous by the time the holidays hit!

Today the Leveson Inquiry has heard more revelations regarding the behaviour of the British tabloid press.
To summarise, witnesses today included Christopher Jefferies, who was falsely accused and vilified by the media as the killer of Joanna Yates; Ian Hurst, a former British army intelligence officer whose computers was allegedly hacked by the News of the World in order to obtain details of an IRA informer; Jane Winter, a peace and human rights campaigner in Ireland; Anne Diamond, a former television presenter; and Charlotte Church, a singer who was thrust into the limelight at a very young age. You can read coverage of the whole thing here.
Jeffries related that he felt as if he were under "house arrest" after his arrest by police and that he had to stay with numerous friends to avoid media scrutiny, feeling "rather as if I was a recusant priest at the time of the Reformation, going from safe house to safe house".
Hurst disclosed that when BBC Panorama came to investigate the phone hacking scandal and spoke to him, he told them that he belied his computer had been hacked. The BBC presented him with a seven-page fax displaying information taken from his computer that had been forwarded to The News of the World. Hurst made a statement in the documentary asserting that Andy Coulson was 'big pals' with police officers. He told the inquiry today: "That is exactly what you are dealing with here ladies and gentlemen - corruption."
Charlotte Church disclosed how the press tailed her from an early age, how the tabloids reported her mother's attempted suicide and how Rupert Murdoch offered her favourable press if she sang at his wedding.
It is unsurprising that the Leveson Inquiry has been generating such heated reactions from the media community.

WINONA, Minn. — A three-way partnership is allowing four Polish students to attend college in the United States. The Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota Winona campus is richer for their international presence and participation. The Wasie Foundation, the Gostomski Family Foundation and Saint Mary’s University join to offer full scholarships each year to qualified students of 100 percent Polish ancestry. And each year the college hosts a lunch to let the students get to know and thank their benefactors. Pictured are, from left: back, Brother William Mann, president of Saint Mary’s; Mike Gostomski of the Gostomski Family Foundation; Jan Preble of the Wasie Foundation; and Ryan Gostomski of the Gostomski Family Foundation; front, SMU scholarship recipients Marcin Sak, Marzena Drozd, Katarzyna Plawiak and Marta Aleszewicz.

Sun Passage is a newer development that houses this Bermondsey 2 bdrm apartment rental. From a mid-high floor, you will enjoy both your outdoor and your indoor space. The apartment is professionally managed so there is a 24-hour helpline for tenants as well as repair and maintenance arrangements on your behalf. The Sun Passage building is just a half dozen blocks from the Bermondsey Tube Station, with Rotherhithe National Rail Station six blocks further.
Walking in the front door brings you into a front hall with a guest bath on the right. Turning the corner you take in the great room with full reception room and dining area. The apartment is furnished with modern furnishings and a very long and large sectional. Your view is unobstructed as you can see through the reception room out to the balcony. At the near end is the dining table and it’s set and ready for four. The apartment has modern art in all of the rooms which goes well with the contemporary furnishings.
The kitchen is a gourmet’s delight with plenty of open space in which to maneuver over the hardwood floors. There’s a large butcher’s block countertop with all the room you could want in which to prep and cook. The stainless steel hood fan and range is made even more attractive with the stainless backsplash attaching one to the other. The rest of the backsplash is an oversized white subway tile, which coordinates perfectly with the numerous white cabinets.
While the kitchen is a showpiece, it may just be the extra large double bedrooms that are the star of the show. Both bedrooms in this Bermondsey 2 bdrm apartment rental are well furnished with the master having a double wide wardrobe, nightstand, and tall dresser. Both receive good natural light from the double windows on the far wall of each room.

The macrobicyclic molecule, 21-(9-anthrylmethyl)-4,17,13,16-tetraoxa-1,10,21-triazabicyclo [8.8.5]tricosane-19,23-dione, I, was designed, synthesized and characterized as a fluoroionophore for the selective, optical detection of lithium ions. Compound I is based on a bridged diazacrown structure, which provides a semirigid binding framework. Binding takes place by electrostatic interactions between the oxygen atoms of the crown and the cation and is transduced to fluorescence emission from an attached anthracene fluorophore. In a 75:25 dichloromethane/tetrahydrofuran solvent mixture, I acts as an intramolecular electron transfer “off–on” fluorescence switch, exhibiting a greater than 190-fold enhancement in fluorescence emission intensity in the presence of lithium ions. The relative selectivity of I for lithium ions over sodium, potassium and ammonium ions was found to be log KLi ,Na ∼ −3.36, log KLi ,K ∼ −1.77 and log KLi ,NH4 ∼ −2.78.

For Rabbi Burt Jacobson
Blessed is the dog’s tongue
Shamanic prayer flag
Binder of vapor
Harbinger of light’s arrival.
Blessed is the brain stem
That battled entropy
All night on my behalf.
Blessed are my nether, pleasure parts
That double as effluent outlets.
Blessed are you, Ya, granter of civility,
In whose name the trash trucks
Are held in abeyance until the sunlight
Girds the plum trees.
Blessed are the medicines,
Polyglot organic molecules,
That soothe or jumpstart
My various organs, that find
My son at sea and return him
Safely to port.
Blessed is the tickle of air across cilia
And the redwood, my redwood,
Whose oxygen flows through
My blessedly still-open arteries.
Blessed is the dream of an endless
Concrete corridor, perhaps cell blocks
You were never sure
That dissolves to unreality upon waking.
Blessed is my message-free cell phone
Assuring me that no one died, that there was
No crippling plane crash while I slept.
Blessed are my books, the window,
The furnace kicking on.
And blessed is consciousness itself
Recursive synapse that discards
The neural dross and brings me the world,
Just as it is.
Shaddock, David. Morning Blessings. Tikkun28(1): 71.

LANSING, MI -- Data gathered by state health officials show the average number of COVID-19 cases and deaths are down week over week as the state continues to battle the coronavirus outbreak. Still, the virus continues to spread across the state despite efforts to maintain social distance and stay home.
Meanwhile, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer vetoed a bill Tuesday that would have reduced the length of some of her previously signed executive orders, and the attorney general has advised law enforcement officers to continue enforcing the governor’s unilateral state of emergency and stay-home orders.
Below is a look at the most recent developments related to the crisis.
Michigan coronavirus deaths down 29%, new cases down 18% compared to last week
The average number of daily coronavirus cases and deaths are down, compared to the same time last week. In the last week, Michigan is averaging 734 new cases per day and 87.4 deaths per day. In the week prior, the state averaged 899 new cases per day and 123.9 deaths per day – that’s an 18.3% decrease in cases and 29.4% decrease in deaths.
On Tuesday, officials announced 447 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 44 new deaths. However, Tuesday’s data includes some extra backlogged data caused by a bug in the system the day before. Additionally, officials said eight of the 44 deaths reported Tuesday come from prior days.
In total, Michigan has 44,397 confirmed cases of coronavirus and 4,179 deaths.
6 weeks in, how are Michiganders still catching COVID-19?
It’s been six weeks since Whitmer ordered residents to stay home, to practice social distancing if they have to go out and to avoid gatherings outside the home. So how are people still catching the virus?
This in-depth story looks at how the virus is still spreading, where it’s spreading, how testing plays into the spread and how “reopening” the state could impact the numbers of cases.
Whitmer vetoes bill that would have reopened some businesses sooner
As promised, the governor vetoed a bill Tuesday that called for some of her executive orders to be shortened and would have reopened some businesses ahead of schedule. The state legislature passed Senate Bill 858, which would have amended Michigan’s Emergency Management Act of 1976, laying out deadlines for when some of Whitmer’s executive orders would end.
A previous version of the bill called for shortening the amount of time a governor can issue a state of emergency without needing legislative approval, from 28 days to 14 days. That was not included in the final bill.
“I will not sign any bills that constrain my ability to protect the people of Michigan from a deadly pandemic in a timely manner,” Whitmer wrote in a letter explaining the veto.
Michigan-made coronavirus vaccine in clinical trial
Pfizer announced it is in the clinical trial stage of producing a possible COVID-19 vaccine that will be partially produced in Michigan. The Portage, Michigan facility will be one of three sites where the vaccine will be produced for trials that will take place in Germany.
As part of a partnership with German company BioNTech, known for its cancer treatments, the two companies are working toward creating and supplying millions of doses of a vaccine by the end of 2020. The companies hope to scale that production to hundreds of millions of doses in 2021.
Michigan AG says Whitmer’s orders are still valid, instructs law officers to continue enforcement
Despite efforts in the legislature to question the legality of Whitmer’s state of emergency and stay-home orders, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel says the orders are legally valid and law enforcement officers should continue to enforce them. Nessel’s office said there was some confusion among law enforcement after lawmakers questioned the validity of the order.
However, Nessel issued a letter of guidance Tuesday to law enforcement across the state, affirming Whitmer’s position that she is within her powers to issue the orders.
“Nessel finds the two orders to be valid under the Emergency Powers of the Governor Act and asks local law enforcement agencies to continue their enforcement efforts,” the attorney general’s office said in a news release.
Automakers plan to reopen plants in two weeks
Fiat Chrysler, Ford and General Motors are planning to send plant workers back to work in the next two weeks after shutting down most manufacturing operations since March due to the outbreak. Chrysler CEO Mike Manley has said the company plans to open factories on May 18, according to the Associated Press.
United Auto Workers members are ready to return to the job, according to the report, but also are entitled to seek closures if the virus begins to spread in plants.
GM workers will be paid for two weeks if they have to self-quarantine
As automakers gear up for a return to work, workers at General Motors plants have some assurances they’ll be paid if they have to self-quarantine after returning to work. Employees who are asked to self-quarantine by the company will receive 14 days of paid time off, according to an update sent to employees Monday.
Employees may be asked to quarantine if contact tracing efforts indicate an employee may have interacted with someone who’s tested positive.
“Significant planning is underway to safely restart production,” GM spokesman Jim Cain said in an email to MLive-The Flint Journal. “We are in regular contact with federal, state, and local authorities, our suppliers, the UAW, and our manufacturing team. We have not yet announced a restart date. When people do return to work, whether for planning or for regular production, we will use screening, cleaning, and social distancing strategies designed using the best medical advice and scientific data available, including guidance from the CDC.”
Muskegon health facilities eye reopening as COVID-19 cases remain low
Health officials in Muskegon County are preparing to open more health care services as an anticipated spike in COVID-19 cases has not happened. Muskegon County has reported 317 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 18 deaths as of Monday, May 4.
The Mercy Health system was prepared for hundreds of possible cases in the early days of the outbreak, but officials now feel they have the situation under control and can offer other services. Mercy plans on offering “time sensitive procedures” in the next two to four weeks.
In addition to washing hands regularly and not touching your face, officials recommend practicing social distancing, assuming anyone may be carrying the virus.
Health officials say you should be staying at least 6 feet away from others and working from home, if possible.
Use disinfecting wipes or disinfecting spray cleaners on frequently-touched surfaces in your home (door handles, faucets, countertops) and carry hand sanitizer with you when you go into places like stores.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has also issued an executive order requiring people to wear face coverings over their mouth and nose while inside enclosed, public spaces.

group formed byS.M. Entertainment in 2007. The nine members are: Taeyeon (Leader), Jessica, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung,Yoona and Seohyun. They are often referred to as SoShi (소시, Hanja: 少時), or SNSD; the first is an abbreviation and the second, mainly used outside Korea, is an acronym of the group's Korean name So Nyeo Shi Dae.
Girls' Generation has released three Korean full albums, three Korean mini-albums, one Japanese full album and various singles. Their 2009 hit single "Gee" holds the record for being the longest running No.1 song on KBS Music Bank, having held the No.1 chart ranking for 9 consecutive weeks. Gee was named song of the decade by the Korean music site, Melon. The group also won various awards in 2009 and 2010, including consecutive Artist of the Year (Daesang) awards at the Seoul Music Awards, Golden Disk Awards, Melon Music Awards, and the Korean Cultural Entertainment Awards.
The group began a foray into the Japanese music scene in late 2010 under Nayutawave Records, a part of Universal Music, with the Japanese remakes of their 2009 Korean hits "Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)" and "Gee".
2007–2008: Debut and Girls' Generation
In July 2007, Girls' Generation had their unofficial first stage performance on Mnet School of Rock where the group performed their first single, titled "Into the New World" (다시 만난 세계, Dasi Mannan Segye). A documentary recording the story of the group's debut titled Mnet Girls' Generation Goes to School was filmed during this time, showing the members as they moved into an apartment together and prepared for their peformances. The group's first single was physically released soon after, including an instrumental of the group's debut song and two other tracks: "Beginning" and "Perfect for You". The latter's Korean title is "Wish" (소원, SoWon), which later became the name of Girls' Generation's official fan club, S♡NE. The group's debut officially began on August 5, 2007, first performing on SBS Inkigayo and then later on MBC Music Core and KBS Music Bank. "Into the New World" achieved No.1 spot on M! Countdown.
The group released their first self-titled full album in late autumn of 2007 with the lead single "Girls' Generation" (소녀시대, Sonyeo Sidae), a remake of Lee Seung-cheol's 1989 song. Promotion for the single started in early November. The album also included the group's first single "Into the New World", "Perfect For You" (re-titled "Honey"), and 8 other tracks by the group. In early 2008, Girls' Generation began promoting their second single from the album, "Kissing You", which won the group their first K-chart win after getting the number one position on the KBS Music Bank February chart.
In March 2008, the album was repackaged, re-released and re-titled "Baby Baby". A third single, "Baby Baby", was released to promote the album. During the group's promotions, members Jessica, Yoona and Seohyun were also featured on a mini-album released by Roommate, a one-man band from Purple Communication. The mini-album was titled Roommate: Emotional Band Aid, and was released on December 1, 2008. The song performed by the three girls, titled "Oppa Nappa" (오빠 나빠; literally, Bad Brother), was digitally released before the album in April 2008. The song was performed live on SBS Inkigayo, KBS Music Bank and M! Countdown some time later. Later in the year the three members released "Mabinogi" (It's Fantastic!) together as the theme song for the Nexon game Mabinogi, with Tiffany participating in the music video.
Mnet reality show Factory Girl chronicled the members working as interns at fashion magazine Elle Girl. The articles the group worked on were featured in the Korean Elle Girl magazine. The program began airing in early October. In late 2008, the group also participated in the SM Town Live '08 concert along with other SM Town artists.
2009: Gee, Genie and rising popularity
On December 26, 2008, posters of the Girls' Generation members wearing roller-skates were posted up in various locations around Seoul. SM Entertainment's phone lines were blocked up by callers asking whether the posters were for sale and the company asked fans to stop taking the posters down for personal use. On December 29, the group's management stated that the posters were indeed teaser posters and that the group would soon release their first EP, Gee, in January 2009.
A teaser video was released in January 2009 and the first single "Gee" released soon after. "Gee" topped Cyworld's hourly music chart on the release day. The song also went No.1 on all major digital music charts within two days. The music video set a record on release, garnering 1 million views on GomTV in under a day.
The group began its album promotion in January 2009 on MBC Music Core where they sang their new lead single "Gee" and the track "Himnae (Way To Go)", another song from their mini-album. "Gee" went on to become a phenomenal hit, breaking the record for consecutive No.1 wins on Music Bank with 9 consecutive wins, as well as receiving a triple crown onSBS Inkigayo. The track also showed strength on other charts, topping the Mujikon, Melon and Mnet charts for 8 consecutive weeks, the Dosirak chart for 7 weeks, the Muse chart for 6 weeks and the Baksu chart for 4 weeks.
After a short break, SM Entertainment announced that the group would be back with a new mini-album sporting a "Marine Girl" concept. The new single was to be titled "Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)" (소원을 말해봐 (Genie); literally, "Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)"); with the full mini-album being released digitally on June 22, 2009. The group started their promotional activities on June 26, 2009, appearing on KBS Music Bank. The performance was followed by follow-up comeback performances on MBC Music Core and SBS Inkigayo on June 27 and 28, 2009. The physical release of Genie was delayed by SM Entertainment in order to redo the album art, and was released 4 days later on June 29, 2009.
The track proved to be a success as it conquered various music sites, including Melon, Dosirak, Mnet, and Bugs, and it was No.1 on the weekly charts and SKT ringtone weekly charts of the first week of July. The mini-album sold an estimated 50,000+ copies in its first week after released (almost double the numbers from the first-week sales of Gee), an unusual feat for any Korean girl group.
2010: Oh!/Run Devil Run, Japanese debut and Hoot
Later in January, SM Entertainment confirmed the release of Oh!, the group's second full-length album to be released on January 28. The lead single "Oh!", was digitally released on January 25 with the music video being released two days later. On January 30, the group started promotions with the recording of MBC Music Core. The broadcast of the performance experienced a blackout near the end, to which MBC made the whole performance available online in response. With 'Oh!', the group went on to win 5 consecutive K-charts on KBS Music Bank, as well as achieving a triple crown on SBS Inkigayo. 'Oh!' also went on to win the Music Bank half-year K-chart, coming in at 2nd on Hanteo's first half album sales chart, and also winning the end-of-year K-chart. The music video became ranked as the number one most viewed YouTube video in Korea by the end of 2010. It was also No.1 in Hong Kong and made the top 10 in both the Taiwan and Japan rankings.
Starting from March 11, 2010, photos of the members were released online showcasing a dark concept, dubbed "Black SoShi". A teaser video was released on March 16, with the new single Run Devil Run being released as a digital single on March 17.
Mid-June, it was announced that the group had signed contracts in May, and would begin working under Universal Music Japan's record label Nayutawave Records for their Japanese promotions, with their first Japanese single expected to be released in September 2010. Girls' Generation began promotion in Japan in August. "少女時代到来～初来日記念盤～" (Girls' Generation's Arrival ～ First Time in Japan Commemoration Disc ～), a DVD featuring seven of the group's music videos as well as special bonus footage was released on August 11, with the special edition of the DVD containing a pink glowstick as well as a pass to the Girls' Generation debut at the Tokyo Ariake Colliseum on August 25. In the first week after release, the DVD sold 23,000 copies, making No.4 on the weekly DVD Oricon ranking and No.3 on the weekly music DVD ranking, making Girls' Generation the first female k-pop group to make the Oricon DVD Top-5 ranking. The sales for the group's first photobook, “少女” (So Nyuh) were estimated to at 1.6 billion won even before release.
Amidst their Japanese activities, the group also participated in the SMTown Live '10 World Tour alongside their label-mates on August 21 at Seoul Jamsil Olympic Stadium. They participated in the subsequent Shanghai, Los Angeles, Paris and Tokyo stops as well.
On August 25, the group held their first showcase in Tokyo Ariake Colliseum. With an initial 10,000 fans invited, it was reported to be the most large-scale plan for a Korean artist debuting in Japan. However, due to high number of expected attendees, the group's management announced that the showcase would take place three times in the same day rather than once to accommodate the estimated 20,000 fans. The group sang 5 of their Korean tracks at each of the showcases, and the total number of attendees over all three shows were estimated to be at least 22,000. At this showcase, the Genie Japanese music video was also revealed publicly for the first time, the teaser having been released a few days prior on August 20.
Their Japanese debut single "Genie" debuted at the No.5 spot on the same day of its release on the Daily Oricon Charts and later rose to the No.2 position on the Daily Charts some time later, earning the group a No.4 position on the Oricon weekly ranking. The group also hit the number No.1 spots on Japan iTunes' music video chart and both theRekochoku daily video clip chart and incoming movie daily ranking chart a day later. With pre-orders amounting to 80,000, the single sold an estimated 45,000 copies in the first week after release. On October 20, 2010, the group released their second Japanese single, "Gee".
A week after the release of their Japanese single, the group released their third Korean mini-album, Hoot on October 27, 2010, consisting of five tracks. The video for lead single, "Hoot", a song originally written in English as "Bulletproof", was released on October 28. Girls' Generation commenced their promotional activities with a comeback stage on KBS Music Bank on October 29. "Hoot" quickly rose to the top of the charts and received the No.1 spot numerous times on music shows, proving to be another successful release for the group. The group simultaneously promoted "Hoot" and "Gee" in Korea and Japan respectively, participating in Japanese music broadcasts such as the FNS Music Festival, where they performed their two Japanese singles, "Gee" and "Genie" on December 4.
On December 22, 2010, "Hoot" was repackaged with additional tracks from previous albums and released in Japan. The release rose to the No.2 position on the Oricon charts and selling 21,000 copies on the first day, faring surprisingly well considering that all the included tracks were entirely in Korean.
On December 9, 2010, the group attended the Golden Disk Awards, being awarded three awards including the Disk Daesang (Album of the Year) for their 2nd album Oh!. The group also became the first ever girl group to have both a Disk Daesang (2010)and Digital Daesang (2009). On December 15, 2010, the group attended the Melon Music Awards winning the Best Dressed Singer award, Hot Trend Song award for their latest song, "Hoot", as well as the Artist of the Year award. This would be the 2nd consecutive 'Artist of the Year' award for the group. They topped the Hanteo annual Singer Award chart for 2010.

On January 20, at the 20th Seoul Music Awards, the group received an Artist of the Year award, a Bonsang prize, a Popularity award and a Hallyu award. In doing this, Girls' Generation became one of four artists in Korean music history (the others being Seo Taiji, Jo Sungmo and H.O.T.) to win two consecutive Artist of the Year awards at the Seoul Music Awards. The group also became the only girl group in history to receive Artist of the Year awards for Seoul Music Awards, and Melon Music Awards for two consecutive years.

During their early career, the group were endorsers for several brands such as Elite Uniform, Nexon Bubble Fighter, Samsung andLG. Since 2008 they have been exclusive models for the Goobne Chicken and have filmed several commercials for the brand, recorded jingles for advertising purposes, and modeled for promotional Goobne calendars as well. Goobne Chicken has since become a strong contender in the chicken industry and attribute their success to the group. By mid-2009 the group members were models for over 10 brands and were chosen as one of South Korea's most sought after advertisers in a survey conducted by brand consulting research institute. Several members are solo advertising models such as Seohyun who is a model for Clean and Clear and The Face Shop,Taeyeon who models for A-Solution, a cosmetics brand,(Korean) 비오템과 함께하는 커플 UV 체험단 모집</ref> or Yoona who models for S-Oil and Innisfree. Alongside Super Junior, they are also exclusive models to the partly SM Entertainment-owned retail brand SPAO. Endorsing clothing brands, online games, food industries, events, electronics, cosmetics and even products reserved for the top celebrities to endorse such as petroleum and credit cards, the group was considered one of the most sought after models in 2009.
The group continued to be active in advertising in 2010, endorsing brands and products including the Nintendo DSi and Domino's Pizza. In late 2010, a gift certificate company began releasing gift certificates each worth 10,000 won which featured Girls' Generation images on the cards, making them the first celebrities to be featured as such. The Korean web portal Daum also began using the group as models while remodeling certain services and search engines in early October 2010, and released Girls' Generation desktop wallpapers and screensavers for promotion. A survey conducted in December 2010, saw 409 out of 741 marketing employees choosing Girls' Generation as the model with the most influence over consumers, attributing their positive attention from the public to their vocals, looks and fashion sense. In 2011, Intel Asia announced that the group would become official advertising models for the company.
Meanwhile, members Yuri, Yoona, Seohyun, Sooyoung and Hyoyeon were models for Christian Dior. Other members which include Yoona and Seohyun were not models for Christian Dior, due to their other cosmetic contracts. Woongjin Coway stated that they selected Girls' Generation as their exclusive models and recently contracted with the group to endorse their water purifiers. Their contract will begin on March 1 and last through the year, while TV advertisements will begin running mid-March. In March 2011, the group started endorsing the Vita500 brand of energy drinks as part of Vita500's 10th anniversary and exclusive Vita500 posters of Tiffany, Yuri and Yoona were released.
In Japan, the group is currently endorsing the throat lozenge brand E-ma Nodoame. They endorsed Lipton tea as well, with their songs "Let It Rain" and "MR. TAXI" used as background music. In July 2011, along with labelmates TVXQ, they started endorsing 7-Eleven Japan products featuring the Japanese version of the song "Hoot" in commercials.
On August 19, 2011, Girls' Generation were chosen as the ambassadors for the 2010-2012 Visit Korea Year. Seohyun will be appointed as UNICEF envoys on October 11, 2011 at Changseong-Dong, Seoul. This is a notable feat, as only those who have a respectable reputation are appointed as goodwill representatives.
On October 2011 Girls' Generation were appointed models for J.ESTINA.
On February 4, 2010 SNSD held a donation campaign with music site Lunchbox. In the Music Dream campaign, Netizens will click the "join" button on the site Dosirak and 3% of the purchase price will be accumulated as a reserve. This reserve will be delivered to the donation group, "Korea Make Wish Foundation".
On April 8, 2011, it has been announced that a portion of the revenue from their Japanese single MR. TAXI / Run Devil Run would be donated to Japan's Red Cross in order to provide assistance to the victims of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.

If a leaked preliminary report by the public protector is made final, the president may sit with an embarrassing black mark next to his name.
The Sunday Independent has reported that Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane has found President Cyril Ramaphosa guilty of “inadvertently misleading” parliament over his R500,000 campaign donation from Bosasa in her preliminary report.
The president was given 10 days to respond.
The paper has had access to the report, which they claim includes the bombshell that Ramaphosa and his campaign team may have become part of money laundering activities, since the donation from controversial Bosasa CEO Gavin Watson had gone through a number of intermediary companies to reach them.
Both the public protector’s office and the presidency were not willing to comment on the leaked preliminary findings of Mkhwebane’s report at this stage. Ramaphosa’s response was reportedly delivered on Friday.
In February, The Citizen reported that Ramaphosa admitted the R500,000 donation from Watson had still not been repaid, while denying that he had deliberately told a lie in parliament.
In his initial eight-page response to Mkhwebane, Ramaphosa explained he was informed by his adviser in September 2018 about the rumour that his son Andile Ramaphosa had received a payment of R500,000 from Bosasa (now African Global Operations), which Andile said was made for “an Advisory Mandate for possible business activities in some East African countries”.
Andile’s company had, in December 2017, signed an anti-bribery and corruption policy that he instituted with all his clients “as a precautionary measure following [his father’s] election as president of the ANC in December 2017”.
Ramaphosa said Andile showed him copies of the advisory mandate and the anti-bribery and corruption policy, which, according to Ramaphosa, was when he first learnt of Andile’s relationship with the controversial company.
“From the way it was explained to me, and based on the Advisory Mandate and Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy, I had no reason to believe that there was anything untoward about the relationship,” said Ramaphosa.
Almost a year after seeing Andile’s contract, DA leader Mmusi Maimane asked Ramaphosa a question relating to a Bosasa payment of R500,000 in the National Assembly last year.
In a follow-up question to the president, Maimane claimed he had evidence of a questionable payment of R500,000 made to his son.
The president said he was aware of the business relationship Maimane was talking about but said it was legally instituted through a company Andile did business with.
“It was brought to my attention a long time ago and I proceeded to ask my son what this was all about. He runs a financial consultancy business and he consults for a number of companies, and one of those companies is Bosasa, where he provides services of entrepreneurship, particularly on the procurement process, and he advises both local and international companies,” he explained in the National Assembly during a question-and-answer session.
The president said at the time that if it turned out his son had lied about the payments being illegal, he would hold him personally accountable.
“I will be the first to make sure he becomes accountable, even if it means that I’m the one who will take him to the police station. That I will be able to do,” he said at the time.
Ramaphosa explained further in his response to Mkhwebane that it was after the parliamentary Q&A session had ended that his adviser informed him that the account Maimane was referring to was not Andile’s but an attorney’s account used by the CR17 campaign to raise funds for his party election campaign. Ramaphosa claimed he and his campaign managers had made a “deliberate” decision not to be involved in fundraising activities, but to only address meetings and and dinners with potential funders.
“We had decided that I would not be provided with the identity of donors or the amounts pledged, as I did not want to feel under obligation to them in any shape or form at any time in the future.”
As a result, he was not aware that he had received payment from Watson. This was when he decided to “correct” his response to Maimane in the National Assembly, he explained.
His campaign managers’ attempt to meet with Watson to return the money had supposedly been unsuccessful, and, as a result, the R500,000 was transferred into an attorney’s account “until such time as these matters surrounding Global African Operations are clarified following various concerning disclosures before the Zondo commission of inquiry into state capture”.
Thereafter, he said he would make a decision on whether the money should be returned to Watson, passed on to appropriate government authorities or be donated to a charity.
In April, Maimane met with Mkhwebane and revealed he had also written to the state capture commission chair, Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, to ask for the president to be subpoenaed to appear before the commission over his and his family’s alleged conflict of interest with Bosasa.
“Ramaphosa needs to account to the commission and the nation as to the ever-growing list of transactions, contracts and business dealings between his family and Bosasa.”
He listed Ramaphosa’s R500,000 “donation” from Bosasa CEO Gavin Watson towards his campaign to be elected ANC president; that Andile Ramaphosa had a contractual agreement with Bosasa for “advisory services”, through which he earned over R2 million in a little over a year; that Ramaphosa had told Parliament he had seen that contract, and that it was all supposedly above board; and that Andile Ramaphosa’s business partner, a Chinese energy company, attempted to secure a R400 million kickback from an Eskom loan in January last year – at a time when his father Cyril Ramaphosa was heading up state-owned entities, including Eskom.
“There remains much we don’t know. And the Zondo commission is best placed to seek the truth in this matter.”
He added that he had requested to view the president’s declaration of interests since his election in February 2018.
“If the president has failed to disclose any conflict of interest as it relates to his son, then the public protector must investigate whether he has breached the Executive Ethics Act.”
He said the public protector had confirmed she had so far engaged Ramaphosa, his CR17 campaign team and Bosasa; had subpoenaed bank statements and attorneys on each side; and requested an affidavit from Andile Ramaphosa on his version of events.
“We cannot ignore the fact that Bosasa is a company that has been bribing ANC politicians for the past two decades. Bosasa contracts with the ANC government total over R10 billion. Like Zuma-Gupta, the Ramaphosa-Bosasa relationship follows the standard ANC triangle of corruption: the ANC-in-government gives lucrative tenders to connected cronies who bribe officials, which in return funds the ANC.”

What is an anesthesiologist?
This is a medical professional who administers anesthetics to patients in a hospital or outpatient setting when they are having a medical procedure done where they need to either be asleep or have a certain area of their body numb while the procedure is being done. Anesthetics is the medication that is used to cause a reversible loss of sensation or causes anesthesia which means they are helping a patient minimize discomfort, shock, and pain during the medical procedure.
Job description of an anesthesiologist
When you become an anesthesiologist you will be providing surgical assistance to the surgeon by giving the patient medication to help relieve the patient’s pain during the medical procedure. One of the major jobs of being an anesthesiologist is before the patient has the medical procedure you would meet with the patient to inform them of the anesthetic effect it would have on them. You would also tell the patient the duration of action before preparing them for surgery or any other type of medical procedures. It is also the job of the anesthesiologist to determine just what the appropriate amount of anesthetic they will need for the medical procedure. It varies from patient to patient and in order to get the appropriate anesthetic you would look at their medical condition. An anesthesiologist would also discuss the case with a consultant specialist physician. An anesthesiologist must also be familiar with the surgical or medical procedure that is being done.
How to become an anesthesiologist?
The path to become an anesthesiologist requires at least twelve years of post-secondary education. If you have decided during high school that you want to become an anesthesiologist you should take as many science classes as possible. An anesthesiologist is considered a physician so you would have to have the same formal medical education that any physician would. When getting your undergraduate degree you should enroll in a pre-medical program or major in natural science which can include biology, chemistry, microbiology, etc. Before being accepted in a medical school you will have to take the Medical College Admission Test. Once accepted into medical school you will have 4 years of schooling with the first two years building on your knowledge of natural sciences along with adding more specialized sciences to your schedule. You will also have your first patient contact when you begin to learn how to conduct interviews and examinations of patients.
During the second two years you will mainly concentrate on clinical studies. Normally you will take part in 4 to 12 week clinical rotations giving you introductions to the different branches of medicine. Some of the clinical rotations will be in geriatrics, pediatrics, anesthesiology, and oncology. At this time you will be referred to as an intern and will be working under the supervision of residents or attending physicians. You would interact with patients doing preliminary diagnoses, making a treatment plan, and then presenting this information to your supervisor.
The next step in becoming an anesthesiologist is to complete a 4 year resident training program after you have graduated from medical school. During the first year you will do either a surgical or medical internship. The next 3 years you will have training in anesthesiology. In residency you are no longer considered an intern so the expectations for performance are considerably higher. Although you will still practice under supervision you will diagnose and treat patients along with participating in rounds and present research and cases to supervising physicians and professors.
Some of the specialized elements of anesthesiology that are taught and practiced during your residency include:
- Pre-operative patient evaluation
- Intensive care pain management
- Acute and chronic pain management
- Post-operative pain control and evaluation
- Pre-existing disease factors in surgical care
After 4 years of residency you will need to complete another twelve months in a sub-specialty referred to as a fellowship. It is a subset of anesthesiology like obstetric, neurologic, pediatric, critical care, or cardiac. There are some who will complete more than one fellowship year so they can have more sub-specialties. To become an anesthesiologist there are 3 levels of credentialing that you must have, in addition to a license to practice medicine, and are state based. These are:
- Passing the U.S, Medical and Licensing Examination (USMLE). You will need this license in order to practice medicine in the United States
- During residency you majored in various specialties which require further certification for each one.
- To be able to use the title Board Certified Anesthesiologist you will need to pass the oral and written examination administered by The American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA). You can also receive board certification in sub-specialties of pain medicine, palliative medicine, hospice, and critical care by taking and passing exams administer by the ABA.
Work environment and schedule
An anesthesiologist would normally work in a hospital or outpatient setting and will usually work a wide variety of hours. An anesthesiologist may work day shift, work night shift, or even split shifts. Depending on whom you are working for you may even be needed to work weekends and be on call, especially if you are working for a hospital. Many anesthesiologist will work well beyond the “normal” forty hour week. It is not unusual that some work 60 hours or more. The reason that your work schedule can vary is that the skills you have are vital for any medical procedure or surgery.
Although most anesthesiologist work in either an outpatient clinic or hospital there are some who do work in a physician’s office. Many who work for a physician do so in a group practice. The work environment is sterile and clean. Working as an anesthesiologist can be a demanding job as you are responsible for keeping the patient pain free and comfortable.
On an average day an anesthesiologist will:
- Meet with the patient prior to the surgery to let them know what will take place
- Remain with the patient in surgery or during the medical procedure the entire time it takes to complete the procedure providing support and monitoring the patient to ensure that they are not feeling pain and are comfortable. You will also monitor their vital signs to make sure that the vital signs remain steady because if they do not it could indicate that there is a problem. If you notice their vitals are not remaining steady you would inform the surgeon who is doing the surgery or medical procedure so they can address the issue. Another reason that you would be required to remain with the patient for the duration of the medical procedure is in case the patient has an adverse reaction to the medication that they are using.
- You would also monitor the patient after the procedure and record the condition of the patient during these times.
- Before administrating the anesthesia to the patient the anesthesiologist would record the type and amount of anesthesia the patient was given according to many factors about the patient including their weight and any other health problems they may have. They would also make notes as to how well the patient is doing with the amount of anesthesia they were given and if there we any adverse effects before, during, and after the procedure.
- Confer with the surgeons or physicians about the post-procedure condition of the patient after the medical procedure or surgery is done.
- You would also be responsible for any residents you have working with you at that time along with nurse anesthesiologists.
- Administer intravenous, local, or spinal anesthetic.
Being an anesthesiologist means that you have the sole responsibility in the decision making process. When you become an anesthesiologist it can mean that at times you could be on your feet for a long period of time. You should also have good managerial skills and have an eye for detail as you will be keeping records of the amount of medication you administered, how the patient tolerated it, if there were any adverse reactions etc.
Pros and Cons of being an anesthesiologist
Working as an anesthesiologist has its advantages and disadvantages, it’s a career that only those who are very ambitious and have this dream to achieve it can follow this path. You will have to consider all the required costs that apply for the educational path. Costs are linked to the medical school that you are going to enter, but other costs may also apply. You should also keep an eye on the work environment and the liability insurance.
For instance, a professional who found a job as an anesthesiologist will have to be on call many times due to the various cases that appear. The pro aspect in this scenario is that they have a very flexible schedule. Such a schedule is good for those that are single, but quite hard for those who already have families. Still, having to work like this gives you the satisfaction to be able to provide the best care for patients who end up in intensive care, emergency surgeries, labor and delivery of the babies.
Your work environment, for instance, is one of the cons that apply. You’ll work as a team, building up relationships with other specialists such as physicians, and you’ll have to face all sorts of difficulties. In the emergency situations, there will be hours of continuous stress, and you’ll have to be calm, so that you can fulfill your duties as an anesthesiologist. Working with patients is a rewarding but difficult job at the same time, their lives are in your hands when it comes to pain or surgery situations.
The benefit that will come out of this job, except having to be there and be a support for the patients, is the advantage of earning a very good salary. The average hourly wage for an anesthesiologist in the US will reach the amount of $101.86 with an average salary that reaches $211,754 per year. The cons are that every anesthesiologist needs to have liability insurance that is costly, not to mention the four years for obtaining a bachelor’s degree and three years for a residency program which will cost as well. However, an anesthesiology work will always be seen as a rewarding career from many points of view especially for that of helping someone who was in need.
Anesthesiologist job growth
The employment growth for all physicians and surgeons as well as anesthesiologists is projected at 18% according to BLS. The general career outlook looks very promising and is growing since a large part of people in the US are in need of more physicians that will deal with their health care needs.
The employment opportunities are increasing due to the number of demanding for specialty professionals and in part due to the evolving technology. Since these professionals are starting to perform various complex procedures with the new technology, they will be able to treat as well other conditions that were considered previously with no cure at all. There is plenty of job security within this field due to the nature of the job itself.
What the salary would be depends on the state you are practicing in, where you are employed, and any sub-specialties you may have, and number of years of experience. On average an anesthesiologist will earn $232,830 annually. The approximate annual anesthesiologist salary you would receive if you are employed:
- In medical universities or schools would be $139,490
- In public sectors would be $197,000
- In an outpatient care center would be $225,360
- In a specialty hospital would be $229,400
- In the offices of physicians would be $241,910
If you are self employed your approximate annual salary would be $316,500. One factor that can help determine your average annual anesthesiologist salary would be your academic background. If you graduated from the University of Pennsylvania you could make $245,659 to $330,644. If your degree comes from the Johns Hopkins University you could make $160,000 to $340,129. Graduating from Harvard Medical School it would be $98,264 to $361,014, With annual salaries ranging from $166,000 to $200,000 the best paying states include Washington, New Jersey, Oregon, New Hampshire, and Missouri.
When looking at the salaries you need to know that many anesthesiologist also receive a benefit package that can include paid vacations, sick days, 401K, life and medical insurance which could include your family, malpractice insurance, vision and dental care, social security, pension, profit sharing and you may even be reimbursed for your uniforms. If you decide to go back to school to become certified in another subfield of anesthesiology your employer may even reimburse you for all or part of your tuition. If you are require being on call you may also be supplied with a cell phone or receive a stipend on your own cell phone monthly bills.
Salary of an anesthesiologist in 2015
In the US, the anesthesiologist jobs are remarkably well paid due to the long hours of work, the importance of this specialty among the other professionals of healthcare. Payments are great also due to the pressure of having some cases where not everything went well. For 2015, with the demand growing, the salary will start to increase due to the many risk factors and internal pressure. For this year, an anesthesiologist gains a salary that reaches $237,100 in the US, and the figures will continue to grow. Each salary will be different according to the setting in which an anesthesiologist works, the geographical location and the number of demanding.
Anesthesiologist Salary in 2016
The income of an anesthesiologist in the US, for the year 2016 has an estimated average that usually reaches at $275,744 per year, according to the data survey salary offered by PayScale. The starting point in the earnings of these professionals is estimated at $102,921 and goes up to $397,421. The bonuses that are granted in this field can reach up to $61,972 while the profit sharing can range from $3,445 and $55,371. This will lead in the end to a total payment for anesthesiologists that is comprised from $102,618 per year and $408,873 per year.
The major factor for this group that affects the yearly incomes is the years of experience in the field. For instance, those situated at an entry-level in their career with 1 and up to 4 years in the field can expect to take home earnings that are comprised between $98,265 and $356,352. Anesthesiologists that already have between 5 to 9 years of experience at the working site can expect to take home earnings that range between $146,255 and $362,410.
The more you advance within the field, the more the salary grows. Anesthesiologists that are in their late-career with more than 20 years of experience at work tend to receive earnings that range from $147,951 per year and up to $399,112 per year.
Other factors that affect and influence the incomes of these professionals are the geographical location, subspecialty as well as the type of employer. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, those who found work within physicians’ offices can expect at a mean yearly wage that reaches at $241,912 per year while those hired in outpatient care centers can expect to earnings situated at $225,362 per year.
The salaries for anesthesiologists as seen earlier vary from facility to facility and work setting to work setting. Working with universities, colleges or professionals schools as an anesthesiologist will lead you to incomes situated at $131,892 per year.
When it comes to the geographical factor, the earnings of these professionals vary from state to state being also influenced by the costs of living and the living expenses. An anesthesiologist working in New York can expect at earnings that usually range between $58,984 and $358,751 while those located in Florida can expect to make between $122,340 and $393,556 according to PayScale.
Anesthesiology salary in Canada, Australia and UK
- In the UK what an anesthesiologist would make each year depends on the number of years they have been in practice. Starting out you would make £16,395 and with more than one year in practice you would earn £199,828. If you have been in practice 6 to 10 years you would receive £205,113. If you have been in practice more than 10 years you would receive more than £234,265.
- In Canada the annual salary would be between 95,094 CAD to 171,258 CAD with the average salary being 137,010. Most anesthesiologist in Canada work in a hospital setting. There are some who are paid by contract instead of having a yearly salary. When being paid by contract it means that the anesthesiologist would be paid a set amount of money and for a set amount of time.
- In Australia the annual salary would be between AUD$100,000 to AUD$196,527.
Conclusion on anesthesiologist salary
Yes, it can take a long time to become a board certified anesthesiologist but in the end the salary more than compensates you, especially you are board certified in a subspecialty like:
- In anesthesia with an annual salary between $120,000 to $347,351
- In critical care with an annual salary between $245.659 to $356,078
- In pain management with an annual salary between $98,633 to $378,825
One thing to note is that though you are seeing these large dollar amounts for annual anesthesiologist salaries you need to realize that in order to get these high paying salaries you will need to specialize in one or more specialties, find a job in a high paying field, and gain experience. On average an anesthesiologist just starting out would earn a yearly salary of less than $100,000 but it does increase.
Before choosing where you want to work look at the benefit package they are offering to you. This benefit package can help to make up the lower salary you are offered. In conclusion the benefit package and the salary will help to offset the amount of time you had to give to become an anesthesiologist is a fair exchange. Yes, to become an anesthesiologist it can take twelve or more years but the job outlook for anesthesiologists is on the rise and is a good field of medicine to get into.

An Energy Efficiency Company Designed to Benefit Employees, Customers and Shareholders.
The world wastes more energy than it consumes every year. And since we consume a lot of energy, that leads to a lot of waste. At MyHEAT we strive to make energy visible to help make better use of our existing energy, no matter where it comes from. This is part one of a series of articles which will detail the way we work, what we have achieved, and our future plans for MyHEAT.
Around the world, the existing building stock consumes approximately 40% of our energy. There is a large and cost-effective energy pool available if we can reduce the loss of energy that occurs during heating and cooling. However, there are several barriers to accessing this potential, one of the biggest being a lack of interest from home and business owners.
In a significant portion of the world, energy is cheap enough that the concept of increasing efficiency is difficult to engage with at the individual level. Yet there is also increased resistance to new pipelines, power generation, and even renewable installations of solar and wind farms which shows that there is a gap between what individuals care about and what our utilities need to continue to deliver economical and reliable energy.
The MyHEAT Advantage
MyHEAT addresses this gap by encouraging customers to reduce consumption by providing personalized visualizations of energy efficiency opportunities, eliciting consumer response through education and behavioural nudges. Our first product combines high-resolution thermal imagery and machine learning to create individual HEAT Maps and HEAT Ratings for every building in a city. You can learn more about MyHEAT’s products here.
By making energy visible and putting heat loss on the map, information can be used to:
- Motivate Home and Business Owners: Personalized thermal images empower building owners by providing them with the tools to see an invisible problem, building awareness of energy waste and efficiency opportunities. Comparative ratings build on social norms and the spirit of competition to motivate consumer action.
- Motivate Community Action: City-wide heat loss maps present the opportunity to emphasise community-wide transitions by allowing homeowners to compare performance and strive for improvements across neighbourhoods and cities.
- Target Conservation Efforts: Geospatial insights on building heat loss identify where energy efficiency efforts may be targeted for the largest impact. By giving utility planners the ability to identify and target desirable customers or service areas, funding can be used in a more efficient manner.
Inspiring a Culture of Innovation
We have a great initial product, with early adopter customers across Canada and the U.S.A. In order for us to deliver on our vision and significantly improve energy efficiency across the world, we need to focus on improving the lives of our employees, customers, and shareholders so that we can expand our product globally. To that end, these are the guiding principles in place to improve the lives of our employees, customers, and shareholders.
- Employees: We are closely following the principles outlined by Daniel Pink in Drive by ensuring all of our staff have autonomy, mastery, and purpose. We are working to create a culture where results and creativity are valued over methods and standards, and are fortunate to work in an industry that allows for that. We hire people who enjoy figuring out what needs to be done and then actually doing it.
Our current work environment consists of a 4-day work week, with flexible start times, and a focus on responsibility versus micromanagement. This leads to super-charged engagement from all of our employees, and creative solutions to extremely difficult problems.
- Customers: We are focused on building innovative products and user-friendly platforms that deliver value for our customers in three main areas:
- Engagement with consumers on the benefits of energy efficiency
- Promotion of energy efficient upgrades and building energy audits
- Valuable geospatial insights on efficiency opportunities across service areas.
- Shareholders: We are focused on being fiscally responsible with the money invested in MyHEAT and using our revenue and grants to grow the company as quickly as possible, while still holding true on our responsibilities to our employees and customers. By treating our shareholders as part of the team we ensure our goals are aligned.
Measuring Our Success
With an academic background in mathematics, I lean towards data-driven decision making. As such, we have designed various metrics to track our future success as a company. In rough order of priority, here are the metrics we will use to drive our success.
1. Customer Results: How have we benefited our customers?
- Number of buildings available and viewed on the MyHEAT platform.
- Number of consumers engaged and conversion rates to customer resources.
- Average consumer time spent learning about energy efficiency opportunities.
- Reduction in energy consumption and incentive program participation.
2. Growth of Thermal Data Coverage: What is our reach?
- Number of customers live with the MyHEAT platform.
- Square kilometres, population, cities, buildings contained in thermal data collected and processed.
3. Company Growth: Are we positioned to succeed?
- Gross margin per customer.
- Cost of customer acquisition.
- Potential customer count in sales funnel.
- Forward annual revenue per employee.
Stay tuned for part two of this series where I will provide a baseline of where we are now on each of the above metrics.

The Southern Region is getting it done early this year with two barefoot tournaments already in the books!
The Cinco De Mayo Edition of the Summer Splash Tournament at Action Water Sports, Lake Grew in Polk City, Florida did not disappoint. Several members of the 2018 U.S. Barefoot Team showed up to do some tournament training jump big on the Southern Region’s new barefoot ramp. We think the jump has some good mojo from its former big daddy: Peter Fleck.
Summer Splash Tournament Director and all-around barefoot supporter, Ben Groen, won Open Pro Jumping with a 23-meter jump… going beyond the distance of Dave Small who finished second. But the crowd-pleaser of the day was when little Brett Swanbom jumped a new pending boys national record of 12.5 meters… that kid can fly!
The water was butter from start… with Keith St. Onge laying down a 12,150 point trick run just past 8am. KSO seemed to stir the pot for the other seven Open Pro Barefooters in the competition… including young phenom Jackson Gerard who tricked 11,250 points.
Tricks also went well in the other divisions. Dillon “Chillin” Brouch moved into the Open Mens Division with a 3200 point trick run and Texas Outlaw Chad Sullivan chalked up 1580 points in Mens B.
In wake slalom, David Small hit 19.6 and Ashleigh Stebbeings scored 17.4, another pending women’s world record. Then Rising Star Brett Swanbom went out there and hit a new personal best of 9.1 and Frank “The German” Renelt scored 14.
A storm rolled through in the afternoon and all the skiers took a turn at the Summer Splash Pinata. The only thing missing was a margarita machine.
Massive thanks go out to Bruce and Logan Walter and the Sanger Bumblebee boat, Ben Groen, Ash Stebbeings and Chris McWatters who were either in the boat, scoring sheets or skiing! A Team Effort at Lake Grew!
Be sure to sign up for the Jim Boyette Southern Regionals on May 19-20! Good fun and a Saturday night cookout included with your entry fee! Support your local tournaments today!

Protect the right to strike: kill the bill
by Professor Keith Ewing and John Hendy QC
Published September 2015
The Trade Union Bill has now passed its second reading and the government is attempting to rush it through parliamentary procedures. Here two leading experts on trade union rights –Professor Keith Ewing and John Hendy QC – publish a short but comprehensive overview of the Trade Union Bill and its implications.
About the book
Protect the Right to Strike: Kill the Bill published by IER and the Campaign for Trade Union Freedom, is an essential tool for trade unionists hoping to defeat the proposals in the Bill. The publication provides a straightforward analysis of the contents of the Bill, explaining the ideological intentions behind them and the consequences they will have on employment rights and trade union freedoms should the Bill be passed.
According to the authors, the Bill has three particular features:
The authors characterise the Bill as “a full frontal assault on the industrial and political freedoms of the trade union movement, a strategic part of the government’s austerity policy….and an authoritarian announcement of the Tories utter contempt for civil liberties and human rights”.
They conclude by saying that the measures in this Bill will not be defeated in court rooms or lecture theatres but in political and industrial arenas.
Whilst stocks last!

Subscribers receive a hard copy of the book and have access to an electronic copy via our subscriber resource section of the website – a resource only available to IER subscribers.

COI Funded Project: The Influence of Tidal Pumping on Denitrification in Waquoit Bay Sediments
Project Funded: 2004
Key Words: Hydrology, Sedimentary Geochemistry, Estuarine Sciences, Water Resources Environmental Impacts, Nearshore Processes
We propose to investigate the influence of tidal pumping on nitrogen cycling in near shore sediments of Waquoit Bay, MA. (Tidal pumping is the advective flow of water across the sediment-water interface in response to tidal changes in sea level.) We hypothesize that tidal pumping enhances mixing between fresh and salty groundwater within the sandy sediments of the groundwater discharge zone at the head of Waquoit Bay, and that this mixing in turn enhances the overall rate of denitrification in these sediments. Pore water data collected by Joint Program student Emilie Slaby document the impact of tidal pumping on salinity and nutrient (nitrate and ammonia) distributions within the top few tens of cm of the sediment at the head of the bay. We propose to add d15N(nitrate) analyses (to document denitrification) and dissolved organic carbon concentration analyses (to assess the importance of carbon supply as a limit to denitrification) to Slaby's 2004 sampling and analytical program. Our sampling will continue to include both flow measurements, using seepage meters and estimates based on head differential over the top meter of the sediments, and pore water sampling within the top half meter of the sediment, using manual syringe sippers. The insight we gain into tidally-driven mixing and its effect on denitrification within the fresh water - saltwater transition zone of the shallow Waquoit Bay sediments will help us understand the controls on the denitrification rate over the more extensive deeper portions of the subsurface freshwater-saltwater interface.

When you use the same filament but get different results on the same gcode, you probably have moisture in your filament.
We often don’t think about filament being the issue when we help each other dial in a 3D Printer. Its mostly talks about adjusting settings, temperatures, types of material and etc.
Not often are we talking about what can happen to your filament if you leave it hanging on the machine while you troubleshoot other issues.
I’m talking specifically about moisture buildup in filament.
Moisture affecting your filament
A lot of printing issues are actually due to bad filament caused by moisture. What happens is that your filament absorbs moisture over time when left opened in a room or inside the 3D printer.
The moisture will then boil inside the 3D printer and when moist turns into steam it expand, causing expansion inside the hot-end and push filament out at a higher than intended rate.
This unintended extrusion leads to 3D prints looking blurry with a lot of stringing.
What’s causing the moisture to build up?
Different material types (like ABS, PETG, PLA and Nylon) are somewhat hygroscopic and will absorb water molecules into the material.
Basically they are absorbing moisture from the air.
In this article I try to somewhat scientifically test different materials and how they behave after printing.
How to fix moisture in bad filament
When it comes to fixing the bad filament caused by moisture it’s more or less one thing you can do. Dry the filament!
There are many ways of doing this, and in the video above I go through them in detail.
Basically having a modified fruit dryer is the best option as it allows you to set a exact temperature (depending on what material you’re drying) and have it on for a long time.
Usually you need to modify the fruit dryer and remove all but the lowest shelf. Then load up your spool and start drying!
Depending on material you want to adjust temperatures in the dryer. Here’s a list of different drying temperatures of different materials. These are generalisations.
- PLA – 30-40°C
- ABS: 50-60°C
- TPU: 40°C
- PETG: 40°C
- Nylon: 60-70°C
- PVA: 40-50°C
Note that specially some “professional” PLA filaments might actually harden if you dry them at too high temperature, so always be more carefull with PLA.
Luckily PLA usually absorbs very little (or none) moisture.
Hopefully this helps you recover bad filament and get 3D Printing again!
Let me know if you have any questions or ideas!

Meet MATTERHORN V a men's wedding band that takes inspiration from the iconic Swiss mountain. With a square profile and a modern matte finish, this ring exudes a minimalist and contemporary look.
What sets the MATTERHORN V apart is its subtle texture and satin finish, which is reminiscent of the rocky terrain of the Matterhorn mountain. This gives the ring a high end artisanal feeling.
Despite its luxe vibe, MATTERHORN V is unbelievably comfortable to wear, thanks to its low profile. It's a ring that you'll hardly notice on your finger.
MATTERHORN V symbolises strength, endurance, and enduring commitment - just like the love that you share with your partner.
This is the shorter version of this design, please compare it to MATTERHORN VII. This price is for 9K white gold. This quote is for sizes up to size T or size 10. Contact us a price on larger sizes
