The 2013 tour for their new album Let’s Be Still brought the band to just three European cities, of which only one was in the UK. The fact that the majority of the people bumbling around outside one of the most intimate venues I’ve seen were begging for tickets from anyone who crossed their path confirms that The Head and the Heart receive not only respect and passion from their fans, but also a true sense of love and dedication. I believe the simple fact that during their entire show a smile didn’t leave my face in testament this.
Their set was a healthy blend of both their debut and recently released album. When the two were being played in tandem, a sincere sense of coordination was present with the band. By this I do not simply mean that their stage presence and live performance skills were ‘up to scratch’, despite the fact that both these elements were unswervingly stellar. Rather I mean to highlight the one word I believe describes this band’s progression into another album, tour and indeed stage of their career - consistent.
The songs they played from Let’s Be Still engaged me in much the same way that their first eponymously titled album did. They centre around themes like love, family and coming of age; themes which are universally engaging. When this is coupled with the bands three perfectly attuned vocalists, each of whom delivers a different singing style, and eclectic range of instruments, the produce is an undeniably incendiary performance.
Every member of the band would chime in with quips and gags during the pauses between songs, and they weren’t always aimed at the audience. The chemistry between the six musicians was unquestionably vibrant and evident in every aspect of their performance. Their comradery and enthusiasm shone in such a way that the audience could engage with the show full heartedly.
Each song played from the new album contained an infatuating novelty, but it was those o’ so familiar songs from the first released which captured me the most. Despite their impeccable recital of Lost in my Mind and farewell with Down in the Valley, the highlight of the show was undoubtedly their magnificent execution of Rivers and Roads. If I learnt one thing from that show, it’s that no record can do the voice of Charity Rose Thielen justice. When that song reached its climax, folk bordered on gospel and I don’t think I could say that with a more positive force. Her vocal dynamism drew applause and praise from the entire crowd, and band. As the penultimate song, followed immediately by Down in the Valley, we were left with a charge that lasted the rest of the evening.
The Head and the Heart surpassed all my (very high) expectations with their performance at the St. Pancras Old Church, and supported all my beliefs that their new album would be sterling enough to rival the first. I hope dearly to see them again sometime soon, but I struggle to see them topping this performance to an audience of a mere 90 people.

ATHENS: Greeces paramedics walked off the job yesterday to demand a bonus for working long hours during the Olympic Games, saying they would continue their strike until the government backs down.
Paramedics said the government initially promised them the bonus and then changed its mind.
The government, already faced with rising costs for the Olympics, has scrapped plans to offer a 2,500 euro Olympic bonus to all civil servants for working overtime during the Games.
Officials have said security forces will receive the bonus, but doctors, sanitation workers and paramedics will receive overtime payments which are much lower. dpa

Unsafe Military Encounters Are Getting More Frequent
November 10, 2018
This week, a U.S. Navy reconnaissance aircraft flying in international airspace over the Black Sea was intercepted by a Russian fighter jet. The Navy released video footage of the incident, labeling the intercept “unsafe” and “irresponsible”.
The footage shows the Russian SU-27 turning on its afterburners and banking in front of the U.S. EP-3 Aries, creating vibrations which the crew could feel inside.
We talked about this on Saturday.
Russia Deploys Its Avangard Glide Vehicle – the Unmatched Leader in Hypersonic Technology
November 8, 2018
On Oct. 12 CNBC reported that Russia had hit a snag in its development of its hypersonic weapon, because it was at the time unable to find a source for the critical carbon fiber components. The news agency stated that the Pentagon had doubts that the Avangard hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV) existed. Skepticism seems widespread. Some believe that Russia’s new super weapons are “virtual reality,” while others think they are “mostly hype.” In March, the National Interest cited Michael Kofman, a research scientist for the Center for Naval Analyses and a highly respected analyst, who offered his assurances that there was no chance Russia could field its hypervelocity boost-glide weapon by 2019. But history has shown that those who believed it to be just a bluff have been proven wrong.
According to recent Russian media reports, the Avangard hypersonic boost-glide system, one of the new super weapons that President Putin mentioned in his address to the Federal Assembly in March, went into production last summer and will be operational with the 13th Strategic Missile Forces division by the end of 2019. It will be deployed near Yasny, a town 502 kilometers (312 mi) southeast of Orenburg in the southern Urals, by the end of 2019.
Normally it takes two systems for a regiment to be combat ready by that time, but in this case that number will be increased to six. At least two regiments with six systems each are expected to be battle-ready by 2027. According to the state armaments program (GPV2027), twelve UR-100UTTKh (NATO: SS-19 Stiletto) missiles will be integrated into the Avangard hypersonic glide vehicles (HGVs). The deployment of the HGV might begin without additional flight tests. Eventually, the Sarmat RS-28 ICBM could be used to deliver the Avangard, potentially carrying a single, massive thermonuclear warhead with a yield exceeding two megatons.

The Nation’s Fiscal Doomsday Machine is Now Unstoppable
November 9, 2018
By David Stockman
Earlier this year the Donald provoked a bleep-hole moment per the Fox “family channel” or what was otherwise known as the shit-hole moment across the rest of the MSM.
But whatever you called the contretemps spurred by the president’s crude utterance with regard to certain countries domiciled on the African continent, the claim this was evidence that he’s an incorrigible racist was risible. Actually, we already knew that the Donald is a semi-literate bully, who never got (read) the memo on racial comity—to say nothing of political correctness.
Still, there is a not inconsiderable share of Washington’s preening, self-important ruling class that indulges in that very same kind of gutter talk on a regular basis when puffing their chests and marking the objects of their displeasure. That’s why the shaming chorus which sprung up from all corners of the Swamp was enough to give hypocrisy a bad name.
But if we have to have a shaming of politicians, there is a far better reason for it than that unfortunate presidential slur.

Planetary Gearbox Components
The basic components of a planetary gearset are an input, output, and stationary position. Different types of planetary gearboxes will have different output ratios and torques. A leading company for planetary gearbox design, CZPT, provides the necessary components. These components can vary in both male and female shafts and come with a variety of modular options. Here are a few things to consider about each component.
The CFHK Series is a multistage planetary gearbox that contains multiple planetary gears. The multiple teeth of each planetary gear mesh simultaneously during operation to increase the transmittable torque. The gears are case hardened and ground, and the ratios of the planetary gears are integers. They were first functionally described by Leonardo da Vinci in 1490. Today, the CFHK Series is a favorite among automotive engineers and manufacturers.
The CH Series offers high accuracy with a compact design and case hardened, hypoid, and helical gearing. These gearboxes are also available in the CFXR series, with low backlash and friction. These planetary gearboxes are designed to provide high torque and high precision in a variety of applications. In addition, the CFXR series features 100% helical gearing and low backlash.
The CFHK Series features a sun gear that drives the next stage. These gears can be put in series or serially in the same housing. In some cases, the output shaft of the first stage becomes the input shaft of the second stage. In addition, ring gears are also used as structural parts of smaller gearboxes. An example of a planetary gearbox is the pencil sharpener mechanism. The pencil is placed on an axis that is set on a sun gear. The sun gear drives the next planet stage.
A planetary gear unit’s gear ratio is determined by the number of teeth in the sun gear and ring gear. The smaller the sun gear, the smaller the ratio between the sun gear and planet gears. The largest gear ratio in a planetary gear unit is 10:1. A higher number of teeth increases the transmission ratio. In order to maximize torque, the planetary gears must be rearranged. A smaller sun gear will have higher torque than a large ring gear.
The HPN Harmonic Planetary(r) Series planetary gearboxes offer a low-cost solution with high-performance and high-reliability. This modular design is easy to install and requires very little maintenance. Its planetary design and full complement of needle rollers allow for extended life and quiet operation. In addition, the HPN Harmonic Planetary(r) Series is available in a range of sizes.
The compact size and high-speed design of planetary gearboxes results in excellent heat dissipation. However, high-speed or sustained performance applications may require lubricants. A planetary gearbox will have smaller minimum steps to minimize noise and vibration. Planetary gears will give you the highest level of efficiency while minimizing noise. As a result, they can provide high-quality 3D prints.
A planetary gear train is composed of a ring gear and planet gears, each supported by a carrier. A ring gear is pink, while the sun gear is red. The sun gear and carrier rotate around each other at a 45-degree angle. This is also known as an epicyclic gear. Planetary gearboxes are often found in space-constrained applications. The CFX Series features a compact design and excellent performance.
The CFX Series features a robust design that is easy to install. Its compact size makes installation of planetary gearboxes easier and faster. They are available in three different configurations for continuous, intermittent, and counter-clockwise operation. The CFX Series offers the perfect solution for your accelerating needs. They’re a great solution for any automotive or industrial application. You can easily configure the CFX Series to meet your specific requirements.
The Candy Controls CAP Series is a new generation of compact, precision planetary gearboxes that combine high torques with low backlash and exceptional wear resistance. This rotary flange planetary gearbox is ideal for a variety of industrial, mining and marine applications. Its modular construction enables users to easily mount different stages, hydraulic or electric motors, and different types of gears. Its CPH Series features an extremely rigid alloy steel housing, carburized gears, and induction hardened gears.
The CAP Series utilizes multiple planetary gears for high torque transmission. The number of planetary gears is not fixed, but most planetary gearboxes utilize at least three. The larger the number of planetary gears, the higher the transmittable torque. A planetary gearbox is composed of multiple planetary gears with a meshing action that occurs simultaneously during operation. The result is a higher efficiency and a smoother, quieter operation than a conventional gearbox.
The VersaPlanetary range features modular design for easy installation. This system includes mounting plates for typical FIRST (r) Robotics Competition motors. The mounting plates are designed to fit each motor. These planetary gearboxes are compatible with various types of motors, from small electric motors to large, heavy duty ones. They are also compatible with a variety of mounting systems, including CIM motors.
The CZPT APK Series is a high precision, rotary flange style planetary gearbox. Its case hardened and ground gears are designed to provide excellent wear resistance, low backlash, and excellent precision. The CAPK Series offers high axial and moment load capacities in a compact housing. CZPT is the world leader in the production of planetary gearboxes. The CAPK Series features an array of high-quality, innovative features.
CZPT SMART Lubrication technology is used to keep the gears well-lubricated and reduce noise and vibration. The planetary gearbox’s 3-gear design is ideal for DIY CNC robotics. This series has a long history of quality, and CZPT uses only the best components. The CZPT 3:1 High Precision Planetary Gearbox is an excellent choice for CNC Robotics and other applications.
A multi-stage planetary gearbox combines individual ratios for a greater number of ratios. Additional planetary gears increase the transmittable torque. The direction of the output and drive shaft are always identical. The CAPK Series features a high-quality, durable construction. They are made from stainless steel and offer a long-term warranty. They are the best choice for industrial and commercial applications. While planetary gears are more expensive, they are highly efficient.
The Candy CFH Series planetary gearboxes offer the benefits of a modular design and a low backlash. They offer a variety of size options and excellent durability. This planetary gearbox is compact and wear resistant. The CFH Series planetary gearbox has a carburized, induction hardened gears and a rigid alloy steel housing. Its low backlash and precision make it an excellent choice for industrial applications.
The CFH Series planetary gearbox is a highly efficient, high-speed helical gear. The compact design of this gearbox results in high heat dissipation and low mass inertia. Planet carrier bearings experience significant lateral forces from the transmission of torque. As a result, radial and axial forces oppose each other. The result is that the torque is distributed over three gears, reducing noise, vibration, and wear.
The planetary gearbox has three main components: a sun gear (also known as the input gear), a ring gear, and two planet gears. These are connected by a carrier that rotates about a 45-degree clockwise axis. The CFH Series of gears is available in triple and double stages. They can also be used in electric motors. As a result, the CFH Series is highly versatile.
The CFH Series of planetary gearboxes can be found in all kinds of applications, including automotive transmissions. Their compact design and high-performance performance make them a popular choice for space-constrained applications. This gearbox has several benefits and is a great alternative to a conventional helical gearbox. These gearboxes are highly effective for reducing torque and speed, and are compact enough to fit in most applications.

BOONE, N.C. -- The pain of this defeat, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football coach Russ Huesman said Saturday, was "a million miles" worse than last season's loss to Appalachian State.
The No. 14-ranked Mocs know how to play well against the mighty Mountaineers, ranked No. 3. They know how to put a scare into one of the Football Championship Subdivision's elite programs. But they can't find a way to come out on top.
"We should never have lost this football game, no way," an animated Huesman said Saturday after UTC fell 14-12 in front of a crowd of 27,304 at Kidd Brewer Stadium.
The Mocs let a 35-14 fourth-quarter lead slip away last season and lost to ASU 42-41. Saturday, UTC (2-2, 0-1 Southern Conference) held the Appalachian State offense scoreless, but the Mountaineers (3-1, 1-0) returned a fumbled snap 73 yards for a touchdown and then got a 46-yard interception return for a score.
"That team is not better than us. ... They made plays when they had to," Huesman said. "We lost, they won, hats off to them, but it hurts. This one hurts more than any that I've been involved with. ... We had chances to win that game and we didn't get it done."
The Mocs' offense struggled to finish drives and keep quarterback B.J. Coleman on his feet. But UTC did have a 3-0 lead at halftime and a 6-0 edge late in the third quarter. The opening half was the first time since 2004 that the Mountaineers had been held scoreless in a half by an FCS opponent.
Coleman finished 22-of-42 for 270 yards, with a touchdown and two interceptions. Counting the four times he was sacked, UTC's running game produced just 32 yards on 30 carries.
"They had a great scheme today," Huesman said of ASU's defense, which attacked UTC's young offensive line.
The Mountaineers were held scoreless for more than 44 minutes, but they seized on their opportunities during a 1-minute, 22-second stretch that ultimately shattered the Mocs' hopes of a a second win this season over a top-10 team -- something no UTC team has ever done.
Leading 6-0 in the final seconds of the third quarter after two Nick Pollard 22-yard field goals (he also missed from 35 yards), Huesman opted to try a 26-yarder. Long snapper Brock Oliver's snap hit a teammate's leg and the ball caromed away from everyone.
Defensive back Rodger Walker got to it first and ran 73 yards for a touchdown that put ASU in front.
"I tried to dive on it, but I couldn't get to it," Pollard said.
The Mocs have had their place-kicking issues this season -- Pollard is 4-of-8 and has had a couple blocked -- and Huesman said he maybe should have gone for it on fourth-and-5 at the 10-yard line.
"Now as I go back and think, we're playing really good but I figured get a field goal, it's 9-0, now it's a two-score game and I'd look like a freaking idiot if I didn't kick a field goal there," he said. "I'd look like a complete moron if I don't kick the field goal there. But now looking at it, I should have went for it. Can they go 95 [yards] on us? No! But you've got to kick it.
Just 82 seconds later, linebacker Jeremy Kimbrough intercepted a deflected Coleman pass and returned it 46 yards for a score. Coleman fired the pass to wideout Jeff Veres, but Veres, who had five catches for 57 yards, couldn't bring it in.
"It touched my hands; I should have caught it," Veres said.
The Mocs cut the lead to 14-12 with 9:51 left in the game when Coleman hit Sloan Allison in the right corner of the end zone for a 20-yard touchdown. UTC went for the two-point conversion, just as it did at the end of last season's game, and just like then, ASU was able to break up a pass in the end zone.
UTC outgained ASU 302-284 and had 21 first downs, five more than the Mountaineers. But the Mocs got only one touchdown and two field goals out of five trips inside the red zone.
The Mocs host The Citadel at Finley Stadium next Saturday.

Transdermal delivery systems and locally acting patches. Although transdermal delivery systems (TDDS) and other patches are not currently common dosage forms, as these products become
more popular deficiencies would be cited with respect to specific critical quality attributes (CQAs) if they are not addressed
in the submission.
Adhesion is by far of the most critical attribute that should be addressed in applications. Product adhesion is a CQA related
not only to product quality and performance, but to product safety. The applicant should be able to measure adhesion in the
proposed product with an appropriate, justified test and they should be able to demonstrate that the proposed system shows
consistent product quality, performance and safety in terms of adhesion. A good reference on the criticality of adhesion in
TDDS is a recent review article (20). Additional literature and guidance is also available on critical attributes of TDDS
and patches (21, 22).
General drug product information. There are a few pieces of general information that if not provided will lead to deficiencies. As stated previously, this is
not intended to be an all inclusive list. Common information not provided in the ANDAs that has lead to deficiencies includes
- Results for all strengths are not included.
- Quantitative results are not presented for numerical tests, but general terms such as "complies" or "meets limit" are reported.
- A USP <467> compliance statement along with option used is not included in the drug product specifications.
- In case of the drug product label having specific information regarding how the patient may use a drug product, additional
controls may be requested in release and stability. For example, if the label of a chewable, dispersible tablet claims that
it may be dissolved in water or juice completely before taking, a test may be needed to establish that the generic meets the
Methods and validations. There are a variety of common deficiencies regarding the analytical methods used for the drug product analysis, as well as,
the associated method validation studies. One common question cited to applicants is related to insufficient method information
being provided in the QbR-QOS, especially for non-compendial methods. The applicant should provide a brief summary of each
non-USP method. This can be in a tabular or descriptive form and the information should include the critical parameters for
the method and system suitability criteria, if applicable. Specifically for impurity methods, it should be clear that impurities
(degradation products) are quantified using impurity standards or by the use of relative response factors (RRF).
In some submitted ANDAs, inadequate method validation information is provided. For in-house methods, validation protocols
should include all the relevant tests as noted in USP <1225>, including method robustness (16). Typical robustness testing in HPLC methods includes varying chromatographic conditions,
chromatographic systems, and/or mobile phase preparations. If a method is transferred then some minimal verification testing
should be provided including tests such as intermediate precision (ruggedness) and determination of limit of detection (LOD)
or limit of quantification (LOQ), as applicable. Compendial methods may also need to be verified based on the proposed laboratories
ability to perform the method. A good reference for method verification can be found in USP <1226> (16).
Some specific studies and information that is often lacking in submitted method validations reports include linearity studies
that do not include the proposed limit or the LOQ; inadequate or irrelevant acceptance criteria in the validation protocol,
and lack of spiking studies to assess method suitability for detecting specified degradation products that may increase over
time. Additionally, stress studies often are insufficient to assess stability indicating nature of the method as no degradation
is observed in stressed samples. It is typically recommended to target 10–30% degradation in stressed samples. For molecules
that are difficult to degrade, a justification should be provided along with a summary of forced degradation results (i.e.,
stress conditions that go beyond the usual) or other studies performed to demonstrate specificity (4).

WESTMINSTER — Carroll Community College students will pay $9 more per credit hour -- a 30 percent increase in tuition -- beginning in January.
The Baltimore County Community Colleges board of trustees raised tuition Wednesday from $39 to $48 per credit hour at its four colleges -- Dundalk, Essex, Catonsville and Carroll -- and implemented a registrationfee of $5 per semester for all students and a $20 per course fee forsenior citizens.
The additional revenue is needed to offset cuts of $7.9 million in state aid to the colleges, trustees say. For CCC, which operates asa branch of Catonsville, the cuts mean trimming $412,000 from its $5.3 million budget.
Furloughs for professors and other staff are under consideration, said Alan D. Schuman, CCC's director of administration.
"Now that we know the amount of tuition and fees, we're evaluating our own (spending) reductions," he said. "The outstanding issue of how we will respond to furloughs remains to be seen. No final decision has been made yet."
Calling the tuition increase "extremelypainful," board chairman John Q. Kluttz III told students, faculty and staff at the Dundalk meeting that "this is the hardest thing I've had to do."
The board's finance committee initially recommended an$11 per credit tuition increase. Concerned that an $11 boost might be too much of a burden for students, the board opted for a $9 tuitionincrease, Schuman said.
Also raised were tuition fees for out-of-county and out-of-state students. Out-of-county tuition will increasefrom $74 to $91 per credit, and out-of-state tuition will rise from $123 to $151 per credit.
"It doesn't affect very many students here," Schuman said. "About 98 percent of our students are from Carroll or Baltimore counties and are charged in-county rates."
For CCC, the tuition increase will raise about $153,000 this fiscal year, whichends June 30, he said. The other fees combined will raise about $20,500, he said.
Students previously paid a one-time $10 registrationfee when they initially enrolled at CCC. They will now pay a registration fee of $5 per semester.
Senior citizens currently do not paycourse or tuition fees at the community colleges. Schuman said college officials are evaluating whether seniors should be charged fees for non-credit courses as well.
In other cost-cutting measures, Schuman said the college, which opened its Washington Road campus last fall, will curb spending on supplies and equipment, limit travel, reduce maintenance agreements on equipment, and implement a hiring freeze,although exceptions will be made on a "case-by-case basis."
"At this point, the impacts are not as severe as they might have been," Schuman said. "That's mostly because the county didn't require us to return any additional funds from their contribution."
Unlike other county agencies, CCC was not asked to trim its budget by 2 percent to make up for a loss in state aid to the county. Schuman said the commissioners were responsive to the impact of state cuts to CCC.
"We've been able to absorb cuts from the state without a severe impact," Schuman said. "But the worst is not necessarily over."


In its third year of existence, Canadian-based Symmetrics Cycling will be competing in the April 19-24 Dodge Tour de Georgia. The team will be lining up against six-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong and his Discovery Channel team, along with 15 other professional teams.
"We are really excited to be invited to Georgia as it is like the Tour de France of North America," said Mark Cunningham, CEO of Symmetrics. "While this is great for our team and sponsors, it is also an amazing accomplishment for Canadian cycling as a whole. We are the only team from Canada competing in the race and to the best of my knowledge, never has an all Canadian team been invited to a race of this calibre. With our recent results at the Redlands Classic I think we are deserving of our spot on the start line and I know the riders are pretty excited."

We don’t have a vaccine yet for COVID-19, but we do have an antidote. Community, collaboration, cooperation, confinement. Regrettably, “we’re all in this together,” the popular slogan right out of the gate turned out not to be true nationwide, which is why we’re still mired in the pandemic. Not enough community-mindedness. All we had to do was embrace confinement, wear face masks in public, practice physical distancing, wash our hands a lot. Americans couldn’t do it. Not all together. Some “knew” better, didn’t care, didn’t trust the authorities. Americans still believe more in individual rights than in community.
We don’t have a vaccine yet for the virus known as racism, but we do have an antidote. Community again, but community taken to another level. What Martin Luther King Jr. called “the beloved community.”
Creating the beloved community, person by person, leaving no one behind, is the only way to eradicate racism. Oak Park has a good base but we still have a long way to go.
“Our goal is to create a beloved community and this will require a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our lives,” said King, who spoke about it often:
“The aftermath of nonviolence is the creation of the beloved community, so that when the battle is over, a new relationship comes into being between the oppressed and the oppressor.”
“The way of violence leads to bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers. But the way of nonviolence leads to redemption and the creation of the beloved community.”
“Love is creative and redemptive. Love builds up and unites; hate tears down and destroys. The aftermath of the ‘fight fire with fire’ method is bitterness and chaos, the aftermath of the love method is reconciliation and creation of the beloved community. … Yes, love — understanding, creative, redemptive goodwill, even for one’s enemies — is the solution to the race problem.”
“It is this type of spirit and this type of love that can transform opposers into friends. It is this type of understanding goodwill that will transform the deep gloom of the old age into the exuberant gladness of the new age. It is this love which will bring about miracles in the hearts of men.”
Oak Park has built community in a number of ways: the Fair Housing Ordinance in 1968, resisting white flight, a public commitment to maintaining stable diversity, celebrating that diversity, block parties, the Community Relations Commission and Department, the Housing Center, the Residence Corporation, the Equity Assurance Program, the Village Diversity Statement, and more. Laying the groundwork.
Our challenge is to build the beloved community on top of it. White Oak Parkers must acknowledge the systemic racism we all grew up with and the racism that lies within each of us. We must surrender our attachment to white supremacy and white privilege and get over our white fragility and become part of a community that, as Dr. King said, requires “a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our lives.”
Not easy at all. But for the first time in my life, it feels doable. It won’t happen, though, without community, collaboration, cooperation.
Which brings us to the 40th anniversary of Wednesday Journal. I’ve been here 30 of those years, long enough to know that this newspaper has played a small but significant role in the process, and has a role to play still, reflected in the company’s new name, “Growing Community Media.” Double meaning there. We aspire to grow “community media” for sure, but we also see ourselves as media with a mission: to “grow community.”
You need a newspaper with a clue in order to “grow community.” Wednesday Journal has a clue, but we also have to provide some of the glue. A newspaper is doing its job when it allows readers to experience the town they live in as a dynamic, vibrant, interconnected social system, aka “community.”
The community would exist without a newspaper, but you would only know one small part of it. Your part. And the community would feel fairly static. Community wouldn’t grow without media around to reflect it back to readers.
So first, Wednesday Journal has to stay alive. And we’ve done that for 40 years, no small feat, especially in the last decade.
In February of 2014, in a column titled, “Will WJ make it to 40?” here’s what I wrote:
Like every other newspaper, this company has been struggling — ever since the Great Recession of 2009. The recovery has been painfully slow, and there’s no boom waiting around the corner. Advertising and subscriptions alone won’t keep this newspaper afloat forever. The internet won’t ride to the rescue either.
The free market alone cannot save us. To make this enterprise sustainable, readers must view Wednesday Journal as an indispensable community asset and be willing to support that asset with donations.
Yes, it takes a village. If not Oak Park, then where? Well, River Forest, too, we hope.
There’s a reason the good folks of a little burg in northern Wisconsin are able to support a championship-caliber NFL franchise, and it’s not free-market economics. It’s the collective that makes the difference for the Green Bay Packers.
Like NPR and PBS, sooner than later we will have to become donor-supported. And that won’t happen unless we hit the sweet spot for the majority of readers who pick up our product.
This newspaper is only as good as it is because the creative, talented people of Oak Park and River Forest feel enough ownership to contribute to its excellence. We need to take that a step further. Maybe several steps.
We need a new model for community journalism, one that demands a lot more of the community. The old model is insufficient to the stormy present, as Lincoln said once upon a crisis. We must think anew and act anew. We need a combination of free-market forces and collective investment.
Without community support, will we be around to celebrate Wednesday Journal’s 40th anniversary in 2020?
Your guess is as good as mine.
I didn’t originate these ideas. They were kicked around the office for some time. Dan Haley made it happen, and he did it in the nick of time — just before the coronavirus arrived — or we might not be having this conversation.
We made it to 40! Readers are contributing their creativity and their treasure.
Will Wednesday Journal be around to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2030? Only if we build the beloved community.
Can we build a beloved community?
Not without a community-supported newspaper.

WASHINGTON - Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham joined Democratic Reps. Jim Clyburn and John Spratt on Wednesday in introducing bipartisan legislation to provide $4.9 billion in federal loans for rural power consumers to make their homes and businesses more energy efficient.
The three members of Congress from South Carolina said the idea for the low-interest green loans was first developed by the heads of electric cooperatives in the state and then promoted by House Majority Whip Clyburn.
"The legislation we're introducing today will take South Carolina's ideas nationwide," Clyburn told reporters at a Capitol Hill briefing.
Clyburn credited Michael Couick, head of the Electric Cooperatives of South Carolina, with originating the approach in the measure. The Columbia Democrat then pitched the bill to Graham.
"Jim brought this to me," said Graham, a Seneca Republican. "I just thought it was a marvelous idea. This is great policy when you can take a relatively small amount of federal dollars, invest it in the economy and empower people to help themselves."

Webcasts of earnings conferences have risen since the Securities and Exchange Commission enacted a rule in October requiring companies to make public information previously given only to analysts.
“While corporations can simply issue a press release, most of them feel that it is necessary to hold a conference call with an analyst, in which the CEO has the opportunity to address analysts' questions,” said Lynn Little, senior vice president of marketing at CCBN.com, Boston, an investor relations Webcasting company. “In this case, the company runs the risk of not disclosing everything in the conference call on the release.”
Webcasting offers an inexpensive means to conduct a listen-only conference call, Little said. Telephone-based conference calls can cost about 29 cents per minute per caller, she said, which is generally more expensive than the flat fee charged to Webcast a conference call. CCBN charges a flat fee of $600 per Webcast, she said.
CCBN Webcast about 2,800 conference calls in the past quarter compared with fewer than 250 in the year-ago quarter.
“The immediacy of the rule [Regulation FD] going into effect created tension on the investor relations arena,” Little said. In response, she said, CCBN offered corporations free Webcasting through the end of last year.
“Webcasting conference calls allows the individual investor to only listen in, giving the analysts the most time to ask and answer questions,” said Charles Szews, executive vice president and chief financial officer at Oshkosh Truck Corp., Oshkosh, WI.
At Xchange Inc., Boston, which will Webcast its fourth-quarter earnings Jan. 26, communications manager Tristan Jordan said, “Our intention is to make financial information as accessible as possible, and a lot of people are more comfortable listening to information on the Internet rather than dialing into a conference call. We have been Webcasting our financial results for over a year. Regulation FD just reinforced this.”
Streampipe.com, Washington, a streaming media and Webcasting company focusing on corporations, government and trade associations, launched an e-mail campaign late last month to its list of almost 100,000 clients alerting them to the SEC rule and detailing the company's services. The campaign has generated a 2 percent response rate.
The company also launched print ads in trade magazines such as Government Executive. Also, Streampipe.com kicked off a 12-week radio ad campaign last month in the Washington area alerting listeners about the new ruling and detailing the company's offerings.
Streampipe.com CEO Blair Fuller said, “As a result of the new ruling, we are beginning to see a lot more corporate clients select long-term Webcasting agreements.”
Fuller said that to compete in this niche market, Webcasters must be able to provide a turnkey offering. Streampipe.com provides its customers with audio and video production services, content production and database management, he added.

Doctor testifies Cortez was not expressing any psychotic symptoms
November 10, 2008
Doctors who diagnosed Ricardo Cortez with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder continued to take the stand today in his first-degree murder trial.
Psychiatrist Christopher Doran, with the Cheyenne, Wyo. Veterans Association Medical Center, testified this morning that he diagnosed Cortez with moderate PTSD, depression and a history of alcohol abuse.
Cortez, 25, is charged with shooting and killing his estranged wife, Nikki Fix-Cortez, 21, on Sept. 16, 2007, and injuring her friend Sam Jantz, according to prosecutors. He has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
Cortez saw Doran regarding compensation for medical bills pertaining to his visits to the Greeley VA clinic where he was diagnosed with PTSD.
Dan Frantz, an expert in psychiatric nursing with the Greeley Veterans Association clinic, also testified this morning that he diagnosed Cortez with a moderate case of PTSD.
Doran’s diagnosis, which is solely for compensation and pension reasons, was based on an interview he had with Cortez on July 25, 2007. At that time Doran said Cortez was expressing symptoms of PTSD, but nothing stood out about the interview.
Recommended Stories For You
Upon cross-examination, Doran said Cortez expressed no homicidal tendencies, delusions or hallucinations during the close to one-hour interview. He said the vast majority of people with PTSD do not have psychotic symptoms.
Doran testified flashbacks and hallucinations are two different things. He said flashbacks are triggered by a specific stimulus, while hallucinations occur without any triggers.
The court is in recess for lunch and will resume at 1 p.m. today. For more on this story see Tuesday’s Greeley Tribune.

How to choose an Exhaust Fan
An exhaust fan is a ventilation device that helps to remove undesired smell, water vapor or smoke from an enclosed area like kitchen or bathroom. The idea is to create air flow so that fresh air replaces the contaminated or unwanted air. Exhaust fans in home typically use air ducts to remove the stale indoor air and hence improving the living experience.
Since today’s houses are packed and insulated to drive down the energy bills, exhaust fans have become more important to remove the stagnant indoor air. Moreover, unchanged air in homes gives rise to moisture, harmful bacteria and other pathogens which might result in health related problems. This article would help you to understand various technical terms and choose an exhaust fan for your home.
Types of Exhaust Fans
Exhaust fans are mainly classified according to their mounting locations.
Ceiling Exhaust Fans
These fans are mounted on the ceiling and remove stale air from the house by moving it upward. The fan creates an air draft, pushing polluted air through the fan out of the house as the fresh air enters through doors and windows. A ceiling exhaust fan is typically connected to a duct which release air through an external vent.
Attic exhaust fan is also installed in the ceiling and helps to keep the house cooler. It removes the hot air out of the house as cooler fresh air seeps in the house through small openings in doors or windows. Attic exhaust fans are sometimes very beneficial in keeping the house cooler even without air conditioners.
Wall Exhaust Fans
These fans are installed on the exterior walls of the house and therefore do not require any duct. The unwanted air is directly thrown outside the house through the fan on the exterior wall.
Kitchen Exhaust Fans
These fans are installed directly above the kitchen stove and help remove moisture and bad odor from the kitchen. It is recommended that the kitchen exhaust fans vent the air out of the house and not in attic space. Venting in attic creates a potential fire hazard since any fire in the kitchen can be pulled up in the attic by the air flow through exhaust fan.
These fans come with various air circulation capacities but the choice of the fan should be based on the British Thermal Unit (BTU) rating of the kitchen stove. A fan with 100 CFM (term explained below) is recommended for a stove range which produces 10,000 BTU of energy. Furthermore, each increase of 10,000 BTU in your stove would require an exhaust fan of additional 100 CFM rating. So a stove which produces 50,000 BTU of energy would require a fan of 500 CFM rating.
Bathroom Exhaust Fans
Unlike kitchen exhaust fans, bathroom fans are not for removing bad odor or smell from the room. These fans are required to remove moisture and steam from the bathroom. Since the residual moisture is the trigger point for molds and fungus, a bathroom exhaust fan should be installed in each bathroom in all homes.
While choosing the right exhaust fan for your home, you might come across a lot of technical terms like CFM, Sone etc. Let me just give a small explanation of these terms.
The measure of quietness of exhaust fans is expressed in terms of "sones". Higher the value of sone, louder would be the noise from the exhaust fan. Among the fans within your budget, you should aim for the fan with lowest sone score. For example, Panasonic exhaust fans typically have the rating of 1 sone score.
The volume of air moved by the exhaust fan is measured in terms of Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM). The choice of the fan should be based on the appropriate CFM rating.
The required CFM rating for a room can be calculated as follows:
First calculate the cubic feet of the room by using the formula
Total cubic feet = Length x Breadth x height [Room measurements in feet]
Now divide the total cubic feet by 60 (number of minutes in an hour) to obtain the volume of air required to be moved per minute by the fan. However, good ventilation should change the complete room air more than once in an hour (typically 8 times in an hour in bathrooms and 15 times in an hour in kitchens). So multiply the above result by 8 to get the required CFM rating of the exhaust fan.
Ducts are one of the most important parameters that affect the performance of exhaust fans. Typically exhaust fans connected through a rigid duct perform better than those connected to a flexible duct. Moreover, ducts with larger diameter and with less bends perform better than smaller diameter ducts. Straight ducts with smooth surface provide less resistance to air flow thereby increasing the fan performance. Flexible aluminum ducts are easy to install but PVC ducts would give better results by reducing the static pressure and increasing the air flow. It is recommended that for best results ducts should be supported properly to avoid any sagging, which reduces the air flow and increases the fan noise.

Nearly a century ago, the right to vote for women in the United States came down to a fierce, six-week battle staged in Nashville, Tennessee. After 72 years of fighting, suffragists from around the country made one last push to pass the 19th amendment.
“In summer 1920, thirty-five states had ratified the 19th amendment to allow women to vote, but one more state was needed to ratify the U.S. Constitution,” said author Elaine Weiss. “If the Tennessee legislature approved it, suffrage would be the law of the land, just in time for the 1920 presidential election in the fall. If it failed in Tennessee, it could be delayed indefinitely, and suffragettes were very worried the movement would be over for their lifetimes.”
This true-history drama is the subject of Weiss’s latest book, The Woman's Hour: The Great Fight for the Vote, and the topic she discussed as this year’s featured speaker for the 2019 Hazelett Forum. The 12th annual event was hosted by the Randall L. Tobias Center for Leadership Excellence and supported in part through a grant from Indiana Humanities in cooperation with the National Endowment for the Humanities. At the forum Weiss discussed how the efforts in 1920 constituted the largest expansion of the voting franchise in U.S. history, giving voice to half of the nation’s population. But she says the victory – which still wasn’t extended to minority men and women for several more decades - wasn’t limited to voter rights.
“The 19th amendment was also a cultural shift in the roles and rights of women. It’s a change that is ongoing today,” she said. “It’s one of the defining civil rights struggles in our nation’s history, cutting to the heart of what democracy means: who gets to participate in our government? Who has a voice? When we say ‘We the people,’ who do we really mean? We’re still asking those same questions today.”

Foremost Golf, Europe’s largest business group of over one thousand PGA Professionals, has signed a partnership with The PGA and TGI Golf to join forces in holding what will be the largest golf trade show and educational event in Europe.
The event, to be held at the Harrogate International Centre, England, from 26-28 October will be open to all 6,000-plus members of the Professional Golfers’ Association, bringing the golf industry together for the trade show and education event.
The PGA, Foremost Golf and TGI Golf will work as a partnership to organise an event with an extensive range of educational conferences and seminars delivered by industry experts and high-profile guest speakers. The show also gives suppliers the opportunity to meet face-to-face with thousands of retailers.
Sandy Jones, PGA chief executive, welcomed this partnership: “Having Foremost Golf & TGI Golf members attend this event is crucial in growing the collective strength of the PGA within the industry.
“Foremost Golf and TGI Golf bring retail management expertise and solutions which are beneficial to all levels of PGA Professionals working within an independent retail operation. In combination with growing the core strengths of the PGA Professionals, I believe our joint partnership will provide a first class show for all PGA Professionals.”
Paul Hedges, CEO, Foremost Golf, said “In discussions with Eddie Reid and Sandy Jones after the initial event announcement in November, I am now confident that we are a part of a golf exhibition and conference of increased scale and of the highest standard, and an event that I will be encouraging all our group members to attend and support.”
Eddie Reid added: “We are extremely pleased to be working with the PGA and Foremost to bring this show to the golf industry. It is an extremely exciting venture, which we hope will bring the industry together as one.
“Since announcing the show there has been a real buzz and everyone is excited about coming together and forming what will hopefully become Europe’s biggest pan-industry trade exhibition and education event for a long time.”
Foremost Golf’s own GTEC event and TGI’s Show which have been held in Harrogate on consecutive for the last three years will combine to form one event and a larger supplier exhibition.
The annual Foremost Group meeting will be held the day before the show, on Monday, 25 October during a Foremost members’ forum and informational day.

The holidays are a time for celebration, and our communities are feeling the spirit! From Thanksgiving to now, staff and volunteers have been putting on events for their communities to celebrate the season and provide much-needed resources to residents during this time.
With the help of our partners, we’ve brightened the days of our residents with 1,249 holiday meals, food baskets, ham, turkey and fresh produce during November and December. Here are some of the ways we’re making the holidays a little merrier for our residents:
North Orchard Place, Greencastle of Woodlawn I & II: Pop-Up Pantry
As the holidays approached, our Board of Directors recognized gap areas for holiday meal distribution. Board Chair Scott Meyer sought to understand the areas of greatest need and involved the Board in a campaign to meet those open needs through donations.
As a result, pop-up pantries appeared at three of our communities to spread a little more holiday happiness, a Thanksgiving-themed one at North Orchard Place in November, and Winter Wonderland-themed ones at Greencastle of Woodlawn I & II in December.
Volunteers, including members of Embracing Generations, an intergenerational program meant to promote building relationships between our residents and youth in the surrounding communities through volunteerism, distributed the food to residents.
Greencastle of Barrington: Cookie Decorating
We welcomed Boy Scout Troop 288, who visited our residents to sing holiday songs and spend time together decorating holiday cookies and placements. This was also a part of Embracing Generations, and we could see the smiles on both residents and volunteers’ faces getting to spend quality time doing creative activities together.
Castle Towers: Band Performance
The talented Blackhawk Middle School Band performed for residents, bringing holiday cheer through the power of music and getting our residents in the spirit by playing their favorite Christmas songs.
Bethel Greencastle: Holiday Gifts
The Salvation Army in Kansas City provided residents warm and cozy flannel blankets, the Northland Christmas Store home-delivered food boxes and household products to residents, and Bethel United Church facilitated a holiday sing-along with carolers from their congregation to brighten this season for our Bethel Greencastle residents.
These are only a fraction of the stories from our communities of ways the relationships between residents, staff and volunteers are being strengthened through the holiday season. Our residents have been beyond grateful for the support and opportunities to build community. These residents are people who sometimes struggle with food security and loneliness, but the smiles on their faces and the warmth and kindness they’ve shown during this season reflect the effort everyone has put in to make their holidays merrier.

Feel free to contact us for any future resident, current resident, or general inquiries.

Like a lion stalking its prey, Japan and the United States are taking initial steps in the economic exploitation of a newly independent underdeveloped country.
On December 1, 1973 Papua New Guinea became self-governing after decades of direct rule by Australia, which had administered the small country to its north as a United Nations trust territory. Within the next two years Papua New Guinea will gain total control of its defensive and foreign affairs.
Papua New Guinea, which shares the 250,000 square mile island with Irian Jaya (Indonesia), has long been an economically strategic area for Australia. Australian private interests have exerted what one Sydney newspaper called a “stranglehold” on the economy of the emerging new nation. Australian companies control 50 per cent of the transport and communications, 75 per cent of the manufacturing, building and construction, 85 per cent of the commerce and 90 per cent of the activity in finance and property
Developing ominous signs, however, indicate that the major threat to Papua New Guinea’s economic independence will not come from Australia. Both Japan and the U.S. are beginning to take more solid steps into the country's economic situation. Japan is making inroads with investments totaling $60 million, a 12-fold increase in the last two or three years, with more in the planning stage. The Kennecott Copper Company of the U.S., a major investor in Chile, is involved in exploration for minerals.


‘The dead shall inherit the Earth’
Land of the Dead is a 2005 post-apocalyptic horror feature film written and directed by George A. Romero; the fourth of his six zombie movies, it was preceded by Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead, and succeeded by Diary of the Dead and Survival of the Dead.
The film features a bigger name cast than usual in Romero’s productions, including:
Simon Baker as Riley Denbo
John Leguizamo as Cholo DeMora
Dennis Hopper as Paul Kaufman
Asia Argento as Slack
Robert Joy as Charlie Houk
Eugene Clark as Big Daddy
With the living dead having now taken over much of the world, the few survivors left have retreated to a fortified city, where the rich live in penthouse apartments while the poor suffer on the streets below.
Governed by the corrupt Kaufman (Dennis Hopper), the city comes under threat when the impoverished population begin to demand a change in leadership and it becomes obvious that the army of zombies outside the city walls is beginning to adapt to its surroundings…
With the backing of Universal Pictures, the film had a reported budget of $15 million, the highest in the series and quickly become a success, grossing over $40 million.
Four titles were considered before “Land of the Dead” was chosen: “Dead City,” “Dead Reckoning,” “Twilight of the Dead,” and “Night of the Living Dead: Dead Reckoning.”
Land of the Dead was the first film in Romero’s series to receive an MPAA rating for its theatrical release. Rumours suggested that the director shot alternate, less explicit, gore scenes for the theatrical release, but this is not entirely accurate.
The more extreme instances of gore (e.g. a woman having her navel piercing graphically torn out by a zombie) were obscured by foreground elements filmed on blue screen so that these overlaid elements could be easily removed for the unrated DVD.
Other ways to obscure blood in order to get an R-rating were achieved by simply trimming the grislier shots by a few seconds, by digitally repainting blood so that it is more black than red, or by digitally painting the blood out altogether.
George A. Romero was so impressed with Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright’s Shaun of the Dead that he asked them to appear in this, the fourth part of his “Dead” series, and they appear as the photo-booth zombies in the carnival/bar-room sequence. They also feature prominently in the artwork for the unrated director’s cut.
“Is Land of the Dead as good as it could be? No. In a way, the big budget probably hamstrings Romero’s creativity, allowing him to rely on the spectacular gore effects (and they really are quite spectacular) as a crutch rather than crafting a more involving story out of necessity.” Beyond Hollywood
“The performance of Eugene Clark is particularly striking as he uses facial expressions, action, and guttural utterances rather than words to express his growing empathy with his fellow zombies.” Alain Silver, James Ursini, The Zombie Film from White Zombie to World War Z
“Land of the Dead still looks and feels like a Romero zombie movie, despite the Hollywood slickness. It is a sincere and entertaining film, but also an imperfect one, the weakest of his four zombie movies. But it does retain the spirit of his other undead adventures.” Horror Digital
“The character of Big Daddy (Eugene Clark) is, in many respects, a direct descendant of the zombie Bub from Day of the Dead (1985) – an intuitive and empathetic zombie the audience can root for. Romero’s signature sociopolitical voice did remain intact, and his critical observations about class conflict in America became a central theme in Land of the Dead.” Ozzy Inguanzo, Zombies on Film: The Definitive Story of Undead Cinema
“One of the enormous pleasures of genre filmmaking is watching great directors push against form and predictability, as Mr Romero does brilliantly in Land of the Dead.” Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
On October 24, 2017, Scream Factory released a Collector’s Edition Blu-ray in North America.

Actual issues of socio-economic development of Kostanay region were discussed at the meeting chaired by the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan Alikhan Smailov within his working visit to the region.
With the participation of the leadership of the regional akimat and central government agencies the measures taken in the spheres of industry, heat and power, agriculture, transportation, health care, etc. were considered.
It was noted that following the results of the last working visit of the head of the Government to Kostanay region in September 2022, most of the instructions have been fulfilled. At the same time, some infrastructure projects are at the stage of realization.
"Work on providing the population with drinking water continues. On the part of the Government funds are allocated in a timely manner and in full. Akimat needs to complete the work in due time," Alikhan Smailov said.
He reminded that to prevent pollution of water bodies it was instructed to take measures to build and reconstruct sewage treatment facilities.
"Akimat and the relevant ministry to start realization of projects with full documentation. On the planned ones to accelerate the development of documentation and tender procedures," Prime Minister pointed out.
Turning to the agenda of the meeting, Alikhan Smailov noted that last year due to unfavorable natural and climatic events was particularly difficult for the agro-industrial complex.
"Despite this, about 4 million tons of grain crops were harvested in the region. This year the budget provides 57 billion tenge for the agrarians of the region, including 38 billion tenge in the form of subsidies. Akimat should take timely measures for spring sowing," he said.
Prime Minister instructed to consider the possibility of allocating additional funding for the development of large dairy farms, taking into account climatic conditions of the region and economic feasibility.
According to him, the program "Auyl amanaty" will also contribute to the increase in incomes of the rural population.
"This year the Government has allocated 2 times more funds for its implementation in the region compared to last year. In general for 2023, thanks to the program was created about 300 jobs, this year is expected to be at least 600. Akimat should not just issue loans, but also stimulate the cooperation of private subsidiary farms," Alikhan Smailov pointed out.
At the same time, the head of the Government noted that 13 industrial investment projects worth 127 billion tenge are planned to be implemented in the region this year. In this regard, he demanded to ensure their qualitative launch and to work out the issue of expansion of the industrial zone, taking into account the connection of the relevant infrastructure.
Prime Minister emphasized that in pursuance of the order of the Head of State a decision was made to build a new branch of gas pipeline from Aktobe region to Kostanai.
"Feasibility study of the project has already been developed and sent for expertise. The Ministry of Energy together with QazaqGaz should accelerate in this direction. Akimat should work with investors on synchronization of their projects taking into account provision of the region with additional volumes of gas," Alikhan Smailov said.
Along with this, it was noted that in August last year the Government approved comprehensive development plans for Amangelda and Dzhangelda districts, single-industry towns of Arkalyk, Zhitikara and Lisakovsk. About 78 billion tenge is provided for their implementation from the republican budget.
"These funds are primarily aimed at improving the quality of life of the population. Akimat needs to ensure quality and timely implementation of all activities," Head of the Government emphasized.
During the meeting the issue of logistics development was also touched upon. Thus, the budget of the highway sector of the region in 2023 amounted to 56 billion tenge. At the expense of these funds 700 km of roads between settlements and 299 streets in settlements were repaired. This year's budget provides more than 66 billion tenge for these purposes.
"An important project for the region on reconstruction of the highway "Kostanai - Denisovka" has been completed. Design works on the sections of the republican roads are underway. These are "Uzunkol - Troebratskoye", "Sarykol - the border of North Kazakhstan region" and the road from the border of Ulytau region to Arkalyk. In the future, after the completion of existing projects it is planned to reconstruct the highway "Kostanay - the border of the Russian Federation," the Prime Minister said.
In terms of development of the health sector, Alikhan Smailov noted that within the framework of the instructions given by him during the previous working trip, the issues of construction of a regional perinatal center and financing of a polyclinic in Tobyl city had been worked out.

Morgan Sanson fired them in front after just six minutes before former Newcastle striker Thauvin hit the first of his three with a volley two minutes later. He got the better of Metz's Senegalese defender Fallou Diagne to score his second just before the interval and completed his hat-trick in the 56th minute after being set-up by Dimitri Payet. Valere Germain, on the stroke of half-time, and Kostas Mitroglou added the sixth on 75 minutes, again with Payet delivering the key ground work.

If you have never read the story of the prodigal son, it is well worth the read. I go back to this story periodically because I need to be reminded of the intensity of God's love and sacrifice on my behalf - when I least deserved it, as often as I need it, and without condition. As a point of reference, here is the scenario in a nutshell. A son, heir to his father's inheritance, doesn't want to wait for his father to "kick over" to get his "share" of the family treasure. So, he demands it of his father - taking what he gets and squandering it on living just as he wants. When it is all gone, he finds himself homeless and penniless. He is forced to take care of pigs - something a good Jewish boy would never do as these were animals considered unclean. To top it off, he even eats the pig slop to stay alive. One day, at the end of his rope, he considers what he should do next - amazingly, he considers home as his option! It should come as no surprise to us that this was his "only" option when he was at the end of his ability! But...he doesn't really think he is going home with a great fanfare and his father's acceptance. Instead, he thinks he will go home as a servant to his father, "a hired hand". What he didn't realize was just how much his father's heart had been aching all this time he'd been away!
When he was still a long way off, his father saw him. His heart pounding, he ran out, embraced him, and kissed him. The son started his speech: ‘Father, I’ve sinned against God, I’ve sinned before you; I don’t deserve to be called your son ever again.’ (Luke 15:20-21 MSG)
I guess one of the most important lessons from story of the Prodigal is the truth no bad deed separates us from the love of God. We may lose fellowship for a while, but nothing separates us from his heart. There is a connection there - not so much based on what we do or don't do - but based on the love of a father for his child. This should give us a moment to pause - for we cannot possibly understand the depth and breadth of this love - but we can walk into it and experience the vastness of it!
I want us to see the posture of the father as it illustrates the posture of our heavenly Father toward us:
* He was watching for his son's return. Now, I don't know about you, but if my kid had been gone out into the world for a long, long time, I am not sure if I'd be standing there watching for his return! I would grow weary waiting. Good thing God isn't like us, huh? Isn't it good to know God sees us even when we are a "far way off"? No distance is too great! No vigilance is too extreme on his part! He watches for our return. This is good news, is it not?
* He was moved by compassion. God sees the need of his son and runs to meet it. Here we see the lovely picture of our Lord's heart - he doesn't turn against those he calls his own. Don't believe it? Consider God's heart toward Israel - look how many times they wandered off doing their own thing, only to find him always moved to a place of compassion. Sure, there were consequences to their wandering, just as there are to ours, but his heart toward them never changed.
* He doesn't let his son get all the way home before he embraces him. This father ran to meet his son. Isn't that like our God? He doesn't make us get all the way home before we can enjoy the splendor of his embrace. He meets us on the road! If you don't see the significance of this father "running" to meet his son, let me explain something of Jewish "tradition". It was beneath the "honor" of a wealthy landowner to "run". He had servants to do that. He was supposed to always be dignified and running was not in that list of "dignified" characteristics. To run to his son showed he did not care about his "status" - only the well-being of his son!
* He doesn't ask his son for an accounting of the monies. The father would have been well within his rights to do so, but he simply embraces the son. Unconditional love! He doesn't demand restoration of the funds - he could have. He doesn't demand restitution by working off his misspending - he could have. He doesn't judge the son's past behavior - he simply embraces him in spite of his behavior! This is the picture of God's love - embracing his kids in spite of their behavior.
He gathers the clothing of a son - not the rags of a servant. He prepares the meal of royalty - not the dregs of the pots. He positions him in a place of honor - not the low status of a hired hand. He celebrates the return of his son - not the good fortune of his estate. Here, we see God unceasing in his love; patient in his waiting; and overwhelmingly willing in his forgiveness and restoration. No sweeter picture of love exists. Just sayin!

What are the pros and cons of synthetic oil?
Advantages and Disadvantages of Synthetic OilAdvantagesDisadvantagesResistant to oxidation and chemical degradationMore expensiveWithstands temperature extremes better (cold and hot)Possible additive precipitation/separationFlows better at cold temperaturesSlightly lower fuel economy at highway speed3 more rows.
Will synthetic oil make your engine last longer?
Synthetic oil lubricates better, makes engines last longer, improves mileage and takes longer to break down under the heat of engine use.
Will switching to synthetic oil cause lifter noise?
Registered. The change over to synthetic oil on an engine that has been with conventional will cause the oil to get dirty from the conventional oil sludge making . as a member suggested the use of MMO is what is required when this lifter noise acts up.. this is a warning that the sludge//carbon is in the oil.
What are the disadvantages of synthetic oil?
Disadvantages of Synthetic Motor OilMany of the synthetic oil blends reduce friction better than conventional motor oil. … Synthetic oil does not hold lead in the suspension of the oil. … Problems with racecar type engines using roller lifters. … Synthetic oil has different disposal methods.More items…•
Is synthetic oil bad for old engines?
Risks of Using Synthetic Oil in Older Cars This particular combination can be extremely rough on seals within the engine, which can cause the seals to wear down and begin to leak or burn oil.
Can synthetic oil mess up your engine?
Switching between synthetic and conventional oils will not cause any damage to an engine. In fact, synthetic blends are a mixture of synthetic and conventional oil.
How often should you change synthetic oil in your car?
Quick-lube chains say 3,000 miles, auto manufacturers recommend 5,000 to 7,500 miles and synthetic oil companies, 10,000.
What’s the difference between high mileage oil and synthetic?
In this respect, synthetic oil is far superior. Conventional oils will thicken in cold weather and thin out when very hot, while the viscosity of synthetic is much more uniform. … High Mileage Oil: Vehicles are lasting longer, and more than 2/3 of the cars on the road have more than 75,000 miles on them.
Is it OK to switch to synthetic oil in older cars?
The way synthetic oils are made has changed over the years, and today they are as safe in vehicles as regular oil. In fact, your vehicle won’t even notice the difference if you maintain the same weight of oil regardless of whether it is petroleum-based or synthetic.
Can I mix synthetic and regular oil?
Since motor oils are generally made from the same ingredients (base oil and additives), they are typically compatible when mixed. … Keep in mind that mixing synthetic and conventional oil dilutes the beneficial effects of higher quality synthetic oil.
Is synthetic oil good for high mileage engines?
High mileage oil is designed for vehicles with more than 75,000 miles. … This leads to less leakage and oil burn-off, which can be common in older cars. If your vehicle is high-mileage and high performance, it’s suggested that you go with this type of synthetic oil. Not every car requires synthetic or high mileage oil.


It’s September. You know what that means? Winter is not too far around the corner. And I can’t wait. It is my favorite time of year. A lot of people might think of winter in terms of hours spent shoveling driveways, but for me, a northern Michigan native, winter means pond hockey, skiing, hot chocolate and just watching the snow fall. But our winters are changing. Temperatures are rising and winters are getting shorter. And people who rely on Jack Frost’s gifts for their livelihoods and recreation are noticing the change.
Climate change and what it will mean for ski season, I’ve found, is a popular topic for skiers on long chairlift rides. But it’s not just the day skiers and locals who discuss climate change and its impact on our slopes. An increasing number of professional skiers and snowboarders are working to light a fire under the winter sports and mountain community to take action on climate change.
Later this month, the innovative Sherpas Cinema team will release their new film All.I.Can. It’s an inspirational ski movie that they hope will empower people to take action on climate change. The movie opens with a grand view of the dangers we face, features some incredible displays of skiing, and closes with an inspirational call to reduce our carbon pollution.
Ski films are not the only avenues of action the winter sports community is taking. Protect Our Winters, an organization founded by professional snowboarder Jeremy Jones, is working to unite the winter sports community behind the fight to limit the impact of climate change on our communities and our outdoor recreation. They, like so many others, understand it’s time for us to do our part to protect our environment and the activities that depend on it.
These talented athletes, like Jeremy Jones, are on the front lines of climate change; they understand that dwindling Alpine glaciers and erratic snowfall patterns are a reality we cannot ignore. Watching these skiers inspires me not only to ski steeper lines, but more importantly to “go big” on climate action. They, and the thought of shorter winters motivate me. But we want to hear your stories. Who or what motivates you to take action on climate change?
