On April 23, 2017, Chris Ruest and Gene Taylor paid a visit to Indianapolis as a part of their Midwest tour. Their concert at the Circle City Industrial Complex was incredible and showcased the talents of both of these amazing artists. Derek Bonn from St. Louis was on drums and he kept it in the pocket all afternoon.
It is always a joy to experience music by musicians of this stature and dedication. They indeed are artists in the truest sense of the word. They dedicate their lives to their music and to sharing it with audiences all over the world.
Chris became known to Satch and me thanks to Ed Kobek, a major talent behind the drum kit. I’ve loved Chris’ guitar work and signing since Ed brought him to play in Carmel, Indiana many moons ago. I’ve been a Gene Taylor fan thanks to his playing in many bands that I love, including The Blasters. Chris, Gene and Derek are the real deal, period.
Below is a playlist of short videos from the show and a gallery of excellent photographs by Cheryl Gregory. It was an afternoon to remember!

Bios for Chris Ruest and Gene Taylor:
If you haven’t been paying attention to his career, this is the short version of what you need to know: Chris Ruest is the real thing. The New Englander has been a resident of Texas for well over a decade.
Chris Ruest belongs to the impressive class of serious Texas blues guitarists, a group that includes Johnny Moeller, Shawn Pittman, and Nick Curran. While the others may have wider name recognition, Ruest has quietly built a reputation of excellence that is spreading beyond his Austin home base. A veteran with nearly two decades’ experience on the bandstand, Ruest’s passion for classic blues and roots rock forms comes through in an original voice that combines immediacy and authenticity. Dead-on songwriting and savvy selection of covers provide a platform for his unaffected, honest vocals and tough guitar.
Ruest’s band has opened for Bobby “Blue” Bland, Johnny Winter, Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets, and Little Charlie and the Nightcats. 2005 brought Ruest’s recording debut as a solo artist, Too Many Problems, a spirited collection that captured crisp performances in glorious, true-to-vintage sound. He now has three solo albums to his credit and one as a member of the Texas Cannonballs.

Gene Taylor is an extraordinary blues piano player and singer, born in Los Angeles, California, in 1952. At the age of eight, he came under the influence of a family of blues and boogie-woogie players who moved in next door to his house.
Having lost both his parents and brother by the age of 15, Gene was firmly committed to the life of a musician. After obtaining his driver’s license at age 16, and looking much older, thanks to an already receding hairline, he started finding local work with such L.A.-based blues legends as Big Joe Turner, T-Bone Walker, Lowell Fulson, and Pee-Wee Crayton. The word got out that he wanted to work! Since he was young and would work cheap, he was hired by these famous blues artists and played as a ‘fill-in’ on local gigs for the older piano players who weren’t available or wanted too much money!” During this period, he met both James Harman and Phil and Dave Alvin—who later formed The Blasters.
After working for James Harman during most of 1974, Gene was asked to join Canned Heat. He was a member of this legendary band from November, 1974 until June, 1976 giving him his first international exposure.
After leaving Canned Heat, Gene worked as a solo performer around Long Beach, California. He had a 2-year ‘house-gig’ at a notorious Long Beach bar called the Falcon’s Nest, owned by a now deceased gangster. At this lively spot, Gene’s audience occasionally included various Los Angeles-area celebrities, most notably, actor Robert Blake and poet Charles Bukowski.
In 1981, while working with his good friend James Harman, Gene was asked to join the Blasters, a band comprised of four friends from his teenage years, Phil and Dave Alvin, John Bazz, and Bill Bateman. He played with The Blasters for 4 1/2 years, recording four critically-acclaimed albums for Warner Brothers records and appearing on every important music television show of the period. Gene also released his first solo record, ‘Handmade’, in 1986. If this wasn’t enough, he also toured with the late Rick Nelson, between Blasters engagements.
In 1993, Gene relocated to Austin, Texas, and joined The Fabulous Thunderbirds, remaining with this internationally acclaimed band until September of 2006. During his almost-14 years with the T-Birds, he toured the world constantly and recorded two studio albums and one live album with the band.
This bio is just a sample of Gene Taylor’s history. Gene continues to tour and record, most recently touring the United States and the world with renowned Austin guitarist, Chris Ruest.

The 0.170” wide notch rear sight allows for more visibility on either side of the front sight post for faster sight alignment, especially in poor lighting conditions. Like the original R3D sights, the 2.0 family is designed with a ledge to aid in one-handed manipulations. The R3D 2.0 sights use brighter tritium lamps in the rear sight as compared to our original version to ensure that you can see the sights in poor lighting conditions. The black PVC ring surrounding the rear sight lamps help create a more defined edge on the rear sight lamps to improve the sight picture and differentiate the front lamp from the rear sight lamps.
The 0.145” wide front sight is wider than many other options on the market and features an Ember Glow Dot surrounding the tritium lamp. The Glow Dot is available in either orange or green. The photo-luminescent Glow Dot will absorb ambient light and glow in low light while the tritium lamp is self-luminous and will glow in low light/no light situations for 12 years.
Black Nitride surface finish and revised dovetail dimensions round out the upgrades to the product line. The revised dovetail specifications offer better installation experience with a sight pusher for the DIYer or the professional gunsmith.

THE ROLE OF LAPAROSCOPY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF PANCREATIC CANCER
Department of Surgery, The Rhode Island Hospital and the Brown University School of Medicine, Providence RI
Received 9/3/98 Accepted 9/10/98
Video laparoscopy has undergone significant advancements in the past several years. This technology can be applied to the management of patients with pancreatic carcinoma. Laparoscopy can be used to achieve the following goals when treating patients with pancreatic cancer: (1) to accurately stage the disease including diagnosis of intraperitoneal and extrapancreatic disease, (2) to evaluate resectability, (3) in resectional therapy and, (4) in palliation of unresectable disease. This chapter reviews in detail these four applications of the laparoscopic surgical approach in the management of patients with pancreatic carcinoma.

Soul Care, Not Clinical Therapy
I recently read a book which teaches about what I would term “soul care”, sort of an overarching term that could also encompass clinical psychology. I would not necessarily use this book’s teachings verbatim in clinical practice. Why did I read this book then? Because as a Christian clinical therapist, it’s important to me to understand the wider practice of soul care than simply what I would do in a clinical therapy setting, and it’s important to me to share some of these resources with you too.
Not to mention, this book hit me in the gut at a personal level, not just on a professional level.
Letting God Be Judge, a short read by Thomas J. Sappington, kneaded my heart to a more soft and tender state. The book takes the concept of “judging others” and hashes out how the judgments I make of myself, others, groups of people, and God, all have reverberations in the heavenly realms. Such judgments, Sappington believes, can create bondage and spiritual oppression for both people: the judger and the judged. But prayerfully releasing these judgments can liberate people to walk more fully in abundant life.
What the Bible Has to Say About Judging Others
Admittedly, I began reading the book with a bit of skepticism. The reason for my hesitation was that biblical injunctions not to judge are so often misinterpreted in our society. Outside the church, the masses are embracing a tolerance culture in which the only “sin” is judging others’ actions as morally wrong. Inside the church, many Christians have embraced a view that frighteningly parallels the worldly philosophy of tolerance: “Christians should not talk about sin. It’s God’s job to convict a person of sin. The church’s role is simply to show people God’s love.” To which I say, hogwash! To separate love from a discussion of sin is a false dichotomy. True and pure love acknowledges sin as that which destroys. Sin is not merely a fun indulgence! Sin erodes our selves, chains us into the bondage of lies and addiction, and forms chaos and trauma for all those in our sphere of influence. Precisely because Christians love others with the love of God, we must talk about sin. So, needless to say, I was a little nervous that this book about “not judging” would follow the same weak theological bent and advocate for a shallow “tolerance”.
After reading chapter 1, which outlined several scriptures dealing with not judging, I realized I was inadvertently dismissing the biblical injunctions because I don’t like the world’s take on them. Oops. I had to humbly go back to scripture and let it speak to me and be my guide. And it turns out the Bible does have a lot to say about judgments. Here’s what I gathered:
- Be humble. Don’t be hypocritical. Be aware of your own sin before pointing out the sin of the other. (Matt. 7:1-5)
- Whatever measure you use with others, it will be measured back to you. (Makes me want to be generous!) (Luke 6:37-38)
- Be big-hearted, gracious, quick to show love and not quick to condemn. (Luke 6:39-42)
- At the end of the day, God is our judge. We are each accountable to Him. We don’t have to judge each other in petty issues. Walking in love is more important than being right on petty issues. (Rom. 14:9-13)
- It is idolatrous and self-serving to judge the rich more favorably than the poor. Perhaps this could be generalized to all classism? (James 2:1-4)
- We don’t get to be a judge of whether or not our brother is following the Law, in the way that God does. That’s HIS job. (Which is convicting to me.) (James 4:11-12)
- Be careful about quickly pronouncing judgments on humans, because you don’t fully know their heart. Even they don’t fully know their own hearts. Only God knows. Whereas much is hidden from our human eyes, God knows all things and will one day bring to light the things hidden in darkness. Ultimately, this takes away some of the authority of human judgment as well as the authority of human commendation. Only God can truly judge the heart, so only He can fully judge or commend.(1 Cor. 4:5)
Now, armed with a new conviction about how God has called us away from judging others, I proceeded to read the book to learn how these ungodly judgments impact the judger and the judged.
How Being Judgmental Affects Us
Sappington highlights the blurry vision of a Christian who claims to receive God’s grace, and yet is unable to extend such grace to our fellow man. Such anger towards the world seems out of place if we truly understand our own sin. Are not both of us created in the image of God, and yet fallen from those great heights to which we were called? Are not both of us equally in need of forgiveness and a Savior? In the faulty thinking which leads us to judgments against others, our relationship with God also suffers. Of course Sappington is not calling our salvation into question, but with bitter, hardened hearts, how can we let God’s grace and love flow into the deepest corners of our being?
We also experience some hindrance to our effectiveness in ministry, including if our ministry is our home and family! Our judgmental attitudes can create a ripple effect in our ministries that keep others from being able to fully receive the grace of Christ themselves. And while an environment of abundant grace produces love, thanksgiving, and vulnerability, a grace-starved ministry or home naturally leads us and those around us to a poor self-image. Not one of us can stand with our head held high in a place starved of grace. It’s a famine for our souls, it erodes our self confidence, it tears down our creativity and hope. Without grace, our flaws condemn every one of us.
Ungodly judgments also open the door for the devil, says Sappington. He actually believes demonic oppression can come about as a result of these profane judgments, which may act as a sort of permission for dark powers to enter a person’s life.
Types of Judgment
Sappington points us to ungodly judgments we may hold against God. For example, a person may determine that God is not good based on experiences of suffering in her life. Sappington reminds us of the example of David, who lamented with dramatic emotion and anguish, who somehow expressed his disappointed and anger, and yet without making a judgment against God.
Judgments are frequently against other people, as well as groups of people. For instance, if my father abused me, I might form a judgment against my father, but then I might generalize his cruelty to a belief about all men. All men must be manipulative and wicked. We can easily form sexist judgments against men or women when we have had a traumatic experience with a member of either gender. Then, Sappington highlights, our behaviors towards this gender often change to begin attracting or inviting more mistreatment by this gender, sort of like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
We also see judgments such as this in racism. Sometimes we had a negative experience with a member of another race, and we generalize this experience to the entire race! Other times, such judgments are handed down to us by our parents. Either way, such judgments against individuals or groups of people corrode our beings.
Finally, we make judgments against ourselves. Trauma births numerous judgments against ourselves, such as, I’m worthless, I’m a failure, etc.
Renouncing Judgments and Forgiveness
Sappington advocates a series of steps for working through these judgments we have made. The order may vary, but the steps include confession, receiving God’s forgiveness, prayerfully asking Jesus to elucidate why we have made the judgment, and then asking Him to reveal His truth to our hearts. Next is forgiving the wrongs done. Then, Sappington encourages a use of spiritual authority to break the power of the judgment in our lives or the lives of others. Along with this, he commands any evil spirits connected with the judgment to leave. He then encourages us to try to right any wrongs done because of the judgments we have made. Finally, Sappington encourages people to resolve in their hearts to use Christ’s power not to enter into judgments against others.
Let’s pause on the forgiveness step a moment. I think forgiveness is one of the most formidable things humans are called to do. I mean, is it even realistic to ask me to forgive a person who has wronged me, changed my outlook on life, stolen my joy and peace, and broken me as a person? Yuck! The nerve! Sappington says yes, because of the mind-blowing fact that God has extended that same forgiveness to you and me. Not only are we to mentally release someone from the wrong they committed; we must actually forgive from the heart. (see Matthew 18:35). I’m supposed to dig deep and forgive wholeheartedly.
Sappington describes creating a space for the person to connect with Jesus, voicing all of their suffering and hurts, even naming specific incidents of hurt or words spoken that have etched themselves on the person’s mind and soul. Clearly, the forgiveness act is in no way a denial of the heinousness of the offense. In this way, the individual shares their hurts with Jesus, a process which can soften their heart and help them entrust judgment over to God. This prepares the person for a wholehearted act of forgiveness. As forgiveness takes place part of the process is prying opening our clenched hands and letting go of any bitterness or right to revenge that we have been clinging to.
My Impression and Critiques
My overall impression of this short read was positive. The ideas postulated therein are not necessarily ground-breaking; many other sources in the Christian world teach similar concepts. Nonetheless, the marriage of emotional healing and spiritual warfare is thought-provoking. It’s essential to read this book with one ear to ministry, but the other ear to personal growth. I found the book convicting, especially when it comes to forgiveness as an act done from the depths of our heart.
I had two brief critiques of the book.
First off, as a psychodynamic therapist with a strong focus on the unconscious, I felt that this topic was not given sufficient weight. Sappington seemed to have some concept of the unconscious and advocated for prayerful communication with the Holy Spirit when encountering roadblocks of memory or consciousness with counselees. He acknowledged that sometimes important content may take several minutes to rise to the surface. But in my work with clients, I have experienced that sometimes important content does not rise to the surface for years, much less several minutes. Sometimes Christian ministry can feel a little too cut and dry, failing to account for the ambiguity and gray areas inherent in working with human beings, and I do feel that Letting God Be Judge falls into this trap.
Secondly, Sappington has little to say about the relationship between counselor and counselee. He had some concept of counselees being resistant, but it was a concept he explored in no depth. As a therapist, I think the relationship between counselor and counselee is one of the most important aspects of healing. Retraumatization can and does occur within the therapeutic relationship, so ignoring the significance of this relationship has the potential to be injurious to the client.

One of the key reasons that I love musical theatre is the fact that it transcends language barriers, cultures, age etc. While I thoroughly enjoy straight plays, they do rely heavily on the understanding from the audience whereas regardless of background everyone can enjoy a pretty tune, incredible vocals or even some insane choreography. Even if you don’t understand the words that are being sung, every one person can appreciate the performance elements to it which spans across languages for example. During the summer of 2016, I travelled to Hungary to help teach English to a group of learners attending a summer camp. At the end of the week, we hosted a talent show where anyone could showcase the weird and wonderful talents they possessed (and there absolutely was a range!) As the British team, we decided to do a lip-sync to the extremely unmistakable styles of Freddie Mercury and David Bowie by putting on a performance of under pressure. Going into our act I was concerned that the Hungarian kids would be bored and not enjoy their act but in fact, by the end of the number everyone was singing along in their own mother tongue which was incredible to witness! I was tasked with the colossal responsibility of taking on the role of the wonderfully eccentric Freddie Mercury who who is known for his over-the-top and striking personality. Physicalising these nuisances and personality quirks were very intimidating for me as everyone know how much of an enigma the Queen front man used to be and regardless of our placement within the talent show itself, I was proud that I managed to strut across the stage (in a semi-Freddie way) with everyone getting involved regardless of the language they spoke!
We Will Rock You is a musical that is based entirely on the musical of Queen and revolved around a group of characters who rebel against the people in charge and try to reignite a love for rock music. The year is 2300 and the entire world has been taken over by an international platform called global soft that almost brainwashes everyone into thinking and acting in exactly the same way. Firstly, the idea of a social media platform slowly taking over the world to control the minds of selected people is a lot closer than we as a race would like to hope. With the announcement of Meta by Mark Zuckerberg and the rise of popularity in certain social media sites, we are already being influenced by advertising and the censorship at times of free speech does suggest that if these media giants wanted to, they could easily create a false reality! Before we could even take our seats in the audience, we were greeted with signs telling people not to sing along to the performance as the performers should be the focal point. There have been hundreds of arguments online about whether or not people should be allowed to sing along with, and I totally appreciate the fact that especially for jukebox musicals we are aware of the songs before the musical is even created! However, I thought it was nice for the show to make a definitive stand and outright discourage audience participation. This was pitched as “do not sing along unless invited by the cast” which was clear but there was really no point where the cast explicitly ask the audience to sing along. As this is a musical of Queen’s greatest hits and the audience were discouraged from singing, I thought that it could have been done with a mega mix at the end of the show where the audience can sing and dance their little hearts out! There was an incredible encore performance of Bohemian Rhapsody at the end of the show, but it was never explained if the audience should should not join in with this iconic number. I think that as many audience members were able to stay quiet throughout the entire show (which even I struggled with at certain points) there should have been an opportunity at the end of the show tie the audience to sing and dances as well! Despite being a show set almost one hundred years into the future, the show is riddled with many popular culture references including clever weaving song lyrics/titles into dialogue, references to social media and mentioning of COVID (including one hilarious joke about needing protection with our two lovers simply putting on face masks before going to bed!)
As the story progresses the audience discovers that it is not just over two lead characters Galileo and Scaramouche (played by the wonderful pairing of Ian McIntosh and Elena Skye respectively) who feel as if global soft is brainwashing people and so join a rebel alliance to help and re-discover the power of rock music that is banned across the land! As discussed earlier my extremely short performance as queen singer Freddie Mercury filled me up with a lot of fear due to how eccentric he was, and this has in turn developed and a deeper sense of sympathy from me to anyone who even attempts to re-create the magic Freddie possessed! It seems that Ian Mcintosh was extremely comfortable performing some of Queen’s most iconic numbers throughout the show. While he was not taking in the role of Freddie per-say but as our lead character, he was responsible for heading up the performances of many of Queen’s most popular songs. I thought that as the show progresses, Ian becomes increasingly comfortable and confident in this role with his physically be the end of the show being the most Freddie-esque which complimented to narrative perfectly! Alongside Galileo for the majority of the show was Scaramouche played by Elena Skye who managed to perfectly portray the journey from outcasted student to official rock star fanatically with her performance of “Somebody to love” being absolutely incredible. It is very rare to see members of the audience giving standing up ovations halfway through an act, but many people were up on their feet after this incredible performance!
My personal highlight through the whole show however would have to be Jenny O’Leary who played the wicked Killer Queen and delivered some of the best vocal runs I have seen in an awfully long time! Her performance of the show must go on was quite possibly one of the most vocally powerful performances with her insane riffs being highlighted throughout. It is clear that Jenny is not only a ridiculously talented vocalist but also contains a stage presence that cannot be matched! She was able to command the audience’s attention and own every single piece of the staging ever when being in the foreground, I still found myself focusing on this gifted performer. During the first act, this character can be seen performing extremely powerful hand gestures and rather unique accent which to me seed very reminiscent of the iconic Devine/ my favourite Disney villain Ursula. The latter of these two inspirations was clearly embedded by the fact that Killer queen spent the majority of act one in a mermaid sequin outfit that not only looked incredible in Jenny but also paid homage to the iconic Villain form the little mermaid! Apart from being hit after hit from debatably the world’s greatest rock band, there were also a few moments of raw emotion in this production. There was an insanely moving performance towards the end of act one of “No One But You” which by itself is very moving but added on top of this it was performance by the character referred to simply as meatloaf and as we are all away meatloaf recently lost his life after a battle with COVID. This performance was respectfully done and had many audience members (myself include) awfully close to tears! While talking about recognition, I thought it was great that the band of this production were actually given an opportunity for a stage bow which is even more important knowing that the show has heavily reliant on rock music. The band were included in scenes at certain points and accompanied performers throughout and so I thought it was a nice touch that they received some praise at the end of the show!
Overall, this is a show crammed full of some of the Queen’s most iconic songs and so if you are a fan of the band or were around during their meteoric rise to fame then you will love hearing some of your favourites being performed live! I did find that the songs were the focal point of the show with the narrative almost being a second thought which is great if you are coming with the intention of celebrating queen and their music! Every member of the cast was incredibly talented and performed excellently at all times and so I would rate this show 4 out of 5 stars!


ROYAL OAK (WWJ) – On Thursday evening, the Royal Oak Farmers Market will transform into a performing arts and party pavilion for “Arts du Jour,” the official “appetizer” of the 2011 Ford Arts, Beats & Eats festival.
Marking its ninth year, the evening event is the charity preview to the summer festival and offers partygoers the chance to be the first to taste, hear, see and feel what’s to come during the Labor Day weekend festival, while raising money for nearly a dozen metro Detroit area nonprofits.
Event promoter Jon Witz said 50 of Metro Detroit’s restaurants, eateries, sweet shops and beverage boutiques will showcase their culinary delights by serving samples during the evening.
“Just an array of restaurants, you know, that we’re so excited to feature. Then, we’re going to have wonderful entertainment, we’ve got Sean Blackman and Viola, we’ve got Persuasion, Black Thorn, the Nadanta Dancers, two stages, one inside the Farmers Market and one outside,” Witz said.
Ten nonprofit organizations will receive 75 percent of the proceeds from Arts du Jour and event attendees can choose which of those organizations their ticket benefits. The recipient organizations are:
- The Arthritis Foundation
- Boys and Girls Club of South Oakland County
- Forgotten Harvest
- Gleaners Community Food Bank
- Michigan Pet Fund Alliance
- Rose Hill Center
- Royal Oak Chamber of Commerce High School Scholarship Fund
- South Oakland Shelter
- The Children’s Center
- The Rainbow Connection
Witz said the event is expected to raise more than $50,000 for nearly a dozen local non-profit organizations.
Strolling illusionists, acrobats and pyrotechnics by Detroit Flyhouse performers will keep partygoers wide-eyed throughout the evening with their strolling ‘Cirque du Soleil’ style of performing art. Also performing will be Nadanta Dancers, a cultural Indian dance troupe, led by Chaula Thacker, who specializes in East Indian dance. Live bands, DJs and Detroit’s unique musical performers will also spread the energy and spirit of music and arts throughout the night.
“Arts Du Jour” runs Thursday night from 6 to 11 pm. Tickets for Arts du Jour are $75 each and include samples from more than 50 metro Detroit restaurants, three drink vouchers and live entertainment. A cash bar also will be available. Upscale attire is required.

The memoirs of Mary Rodgers—writer, composer, Broadway royalty, and “a woman who tried everything.”
“What am I, bologna?” Mary Rodgers (1931–2014) often said. She was referring to being stuck in the middle of a talent sandwich: the daughter of one composer and the mother of another. And not just any composers. Her father was Richard Rodgers, perhaps the greatest American melodist; her son, Adam Guettel, a worthy successor. What that leaves out is Mary herself, also a composer, whose musical Once Upon a Mattress remains one of the rare revivable Broadway hits written by a woman.
Shy is the story of how it all happened: how Mary grew from an angry child, constrained by privilege and a parent’s overwhelming gift, to become not just a theater figure in her own right but also a renowned author of books for young readers (including the classic Freaky Friday) and, in a final grand turn, a doyenne of philanthropy and the chairman of the Juilliard School.
But in telling these stories—with copious annotations, contradictions, and interruptions from Jesse Green, the chief theater critic of The New York Times—Shy also tells another, about a woman liberating herself from disapproving parents and pervasive sexism to find art and romance on her own terms. Whether writing for Judy Holliday or Rin Tin Tin, dating Hal Prince or falling for Stephen Sondheim over a game of chess at thirteen, Rodgers grabbed every chance possible—and then some.
Both an eyewitness report from the golden age of American musical theater and a tale of a woman striving for a meaningful life, Shy is, above all, a chance to sit at the feet of the kind of woman they don’t make anymore—and never did. They make themselves.
Mary Rodgers (1931–2014) was an accomplished composer, author, and screenwriter. She was the author of the novel Freaky Friday and its 1976 screenplay adaptation, and of several other novels. Rodgers also wrote the music for Once Upon a Mattress, which was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Musical. She lived in New York City until her death.
Jesse Green is the chief theater critic for The New York Times. From 2013 to 2017 he was the theater critic for New York magazine. Before that, he covered theater and other cultural topics, as well as writing long-form news features, for many national publications. He is the author of the novel O Beautiful and the memoir The Velveteen Father: An Unexpected Journey to Parenthood.

Literature Review Examples
The Literature Review | A Complete Step-by-Step Guide
A literature review summarizes and synthesizes the existing scholarly research on a particular topic. Literature reviews are a form of academic writing commonly used in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities. However, unlike research papers, which establish new arguments and make original contributions, literature reviews organize and present existing research. As a student or academic, you might produce a literature review as a standalone paper or as a portion of a larger research project. In order to understand literature reviews, it's best to first understand what they are not. First, literature reviews are not bibliographies. A bibliography is a list of resources consulted when researching a particular topic.
How to write a literature review
When writing a research paper on a specific topic, you will often need to include an overview of any prior research that has been conducted on that topic. For example, if your research paper is describing an experiment on fear conditioning, then you will probably need to provide an overview of prior research on fear conditioning. That overview is typically known as a literature review. Please note that a full-length literature review article may be suitable for fulfilling the requirements for the Psychology B.
Many students are being left behind by an educational system that some people believe is in crisis. Improving educational outcomes will require efforts on many fronts, but a central premise of this monograph is that one part of a solution involves helping students to better regulate their learning through the use of effective learning techniques. Fortunately, cognitive and educational psychologists have been developing and evaluating easy-to-use learning techniques that could help students achieve their learning goals. In this monograph, we discuss 10 learning techniques in detail and offer recommendations about their relative utility. We selected techniques that were expected to be relatively easy to use and hence could be adopted by many students.


Psymbionic enlists ProbCause on fifth single release ahead of ‘Carbon Based Lifeform’ LP
Psymbionic is gearing up for the release of his second studio album, Carbon Based Lifeform. The Austin-based bass music extraordinaire has been steadily releasing singles off the forthcoming LP all month long, with the fifth and final release landing today. “Homesick” is an effortlessly groovy collaborative number with Chicago’s ProbCause, whose vocals have laced the tracks of GRiZ and Manic Focus.
“This tune is one of the oldest songs from the LP,” says Psymbionic of the track. “[W]e started it almost 2 years ago. Probably one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written. My dude ProbCause went IN on these vocals, made it so vibey and real.”
Carbon Based Lifeform lands in digital and 12″ vinyl on February 5 via Psymbionic’s label, Gravitas Recordings. He’s been working on the LP for two years, referring to it as “by far the most ambitious project” he’s ever tackled. He’s also assembled a creative team to work on companion pieces to tell the story, which likely means he’s cooking up an entire graphic novel/comic book universe around the album concept.

Nursing Home Abuse Cases Increase in the US
When an elderly loved one becomes too frail to care for themselves any longer, the hardest choice the family must make is whether or not to put the relative in a nursing home. The next decision is deciding which nursing home to trust. And with cases of nursing home abuse increasing while reporting systems fail to accurately track the problem, the decision becomes even more stressful.
Stories involving nursing home abuse lawsuits are all over the news. Nursing home abuse claims vary and may be filed alleging anything from sexual abuse, to financial abuse, to overmedication of patients.
Just recently, a male former nursing assistant in Minneapolis pleaded guilty to a criminal elder abuse charge which contended that he raped an 83-year-old woman resident with dementia. A nursing home in Blythe, California is currently defending a claim alleging that the company focused on profits at the expense of the health of its residents. A woman in Benton, Arkansas is suing a nursing home on behalf of her elderly mother, whom she contends was overmedicated and neglected to the point that she was hospitalized 37 times. Another woman is suing a nursing home in Huntington, West Virginia after the relative passed away from an infection because they purportedly failed to monitor her relative’s physical health. Pharmaceutical company PharMerica Corp, has settled allegations that it used kickbacks at nursing homes to promote overuse of its anti-epileptic medication on elderly patients.
Research into the scope of the nursing home abuse problem indicates it is a constant problem. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) reports that 1.7 million Americans currently live in 15,700 nursing homes across the country. A 2010 study conducted by the government agency showed that about 10% of those residents reported some type of abuse, while in a similar 2010 study, around half of nursing home employees reported abusing one of the elderly residents that year. In 2012, the CMS surveyed reports from their federal nursing home surveyors and found that 90% of the nursing homes had some type of deficiency – meaning, the facility did not meet a federal standard. The average number of federal deficiencies was 5.9.
Many family members may not think to file a lawsuit first. Instead, they will focus on getting their loved one transferred to a different facility, or released to their care at home. The victim’s family may also file a complaint with their local ombudsman or Department of Health and Human Services first. According to the Administration for Community Living’s National Ombudsman Reporting Data, nursing home residents and their families filed an astonishing 135,620 complaints against skilled nursing facilities in 2013; 25.4% of those complaints involved neglect of the resident, and 7.1% involved nursing home abuse.
Senior citizens are one of the fastest growing populations in the country, and also one of the most vulnerable. The elderly face a 300% higher risk of dying if they suffer abuse. It is important to hold nursing homes accountable for their standards of care, especially as the older adult population increases in the coming years.

The Munster Hurling Championship is just one week away and excitement abounds.
It's set up to be one of the most competitive Munster Championships in history as a rejuvenated Waterford and Tipperary look to do battle with Munster Champions Cork, All Ireland Champions Limerick and Munster finalists and All-Ireland semi-finalists Clare.
Walk with us from Darkness Into Light on May 11. Register here to help raise funds for Pieta House and the vital support services they provide in the battle against suicide and self-harm.
Ahead of it all, Balls.ie hosted their Sports Direct Clubhouse Live event at Glen Rovers and asked an expert panel of three from their predictions. Not surprisingly, it proved a difficult decision for former Waterford manager Derek McGrath, former Tipperary hurler Derek McGrath and former Cork hurler Seanie McGrath.
Tipperary, Cork, Limerick.
"I don't know about us being in the long grass but Tipperary had a very bad year last year and Liam Sheedy is in. There is a lot of pressure being put on the management and Tipp this year."
I do think Liam is doing a good job and the lads are stuck together. As supporters, there is hope now that they're going to come.
Waterford, Tipperary, Limerick.
I won't be popular for this but based on preparation and doubt. Look at last year, Tipperary and Waterford did not come out, at least one will this year. I think Tipp' will beat Cork in the first game. I think Limerick will beat Cork in the second match in the Gaelic Grounds. Which means the third game against Waterford is a possible head-to-head encounter. I think Waterford will beat Clare and then whoever wins head-to-head against Tipp' will be on four.
I'm basing it on their preparation and a little doubt in my head about too much talk about last year. I'm ignoring Corkness and ignoring the fact they have the best forward line in Munster.
I'm saying Waterford, not on any bias. Just on a genuine feeling, they are coming. They will win their two home games. Walsh Park will be a big factor.
Tipp', it has been very cleverly manipulated that they are in year one of a project whereas they have the players to win an All-Ireland any year in my opinion.
Limerick have the ability to mix it up and to change it up, go two big fellas inside or whatever. They're a little ahead.
Tipperary, Cork, Limerick.
Limerick won the league comprehensively enough. Their age profile is amazing. Leaders who are 21, 22, 23. Look at Cian Lynch, or Aaron Gillane. He's been sensational all year, even in the league and Fitzgibbon. Fellas are so fit and durable, before there was a gap before league and championship, but now they are more capable of doing it. The form guide is totally tipped towards Limerick.
Tipp won a U21 championship last year I think they shouldn't have been within an asses roar of winning. We hammered them in the Munster final. The form was with Cork, we beat Wexford comprehensively and then Tipperary produced a performance that day that was made of grit and steel.
Then they brought in a senior manager this year who typifies everything about grit and steel. So while Tipp' had a reasonable league campaign, I think they're waiting in the long grass.


One of the most spectacular meteor showers of the year will peak tonight as up to 80 shooting stars per hour dart across the night sky.
Stargazers are treated to the exciting but short-lived show of the Quadrantids – known for producing bright “fireball” meteors that leave behind large bursts of light and color that last longer than average meteor streaks.
The shower will last cumulatively from December 28, 2022 to January 12, 2023, but it will officially peak tomorrow at 03:00 GMT (22:00 ET today).
However, this year there is a small catch.
Space Rocks: Stargazers are treated to the exciting but short-lived show of the Quadrantids (pictured in 2019) – known for producing bright “fireball” meteors that leave behind large bursts of light and color that last longer than average meteor streaks
WHAT ARE THE QUADRANTIDS?
The Quadrantids, which peak in early January each year, are considered one of the best annual meteor showers.
Most meteor showers have a two-day peak, making it easier to see those other meteors.
The Quadrantid Peak, on the other hand, is much shorter at a few hours.
The reason the peak is so short is because of the shower’s thin particle stream and the fact that the Earth crosses the stream at a perpendicular angle.
During its peak, 60 to 200 Quadrantid meteors per hour can be observed under perfect conditions.
The Quadrantids are also known for their bright fireball meteors.
Fireballs are larger bursts of light and color that can last longer than the average meteor streak.
A full moon will light up the sky on Friday, meaning the skies will be bathed in the most fantastic moonlight from tonight into the early hours of the morning.
It’s great to see the bright waxing crescent – which will be 94 percent lit – but far from ideal for spotting meteors, as moonlight blocks out all but the brightest space rocks hurtling across the sky.
Nevertheless, it is worth catching the first meteor shower of each year at night and in the early morning hours from the northern hemisphere.
Unlike most other showers that come from debris left behind by comets, the Quadrantids come from asteroid 2003 EH1, which was first observed by Chinese astronomers more than 500 years ago.
There are between six and ten “sporadic” meteors per night year-round, but this increases dramatically during a “meteor shower.”
“During a shower, Earth passes through a cloud of debris left behind by comets and asteroids, and so many more meteors are observed entering the atmosphere,” said the Royal Astronomical Society.
“Unlike many astronomical events, meteor showers are easy to observe and no special equipment is required.
“A meteor shower is best seen with the naked eye, and a lounge chair, a warm blanket, and a hot drink make watching it that much more comfortable on a cold January night.”
The easiest way to find the shower is to look north for the Big Dipper – the prominent cluster of seven bright stars and a useful navigational tool.
Then follow the “arc” of the Big Dipper’s handle across the sky to the red giant star Arcturus, anchoring the bottom of the constellation of Boats, where the meteor shower will appear.
“For the best conditions, you want to find a safe spot away from streetlights and other sources of light pollution,” the Royal Astronomical Society said.
“The meteors can be seen in all parts of the sky, so it’s good to be in a wide open space where you can scan the night sky with your eyes.
“In 2023, the shower maximum will occur just before the full moon, so the moonlight will cause some disturbances.”
The shower’s name comes from Quadrans Muralis, a former constellation created by French astronomer Jérôme Lalande in 1795 that included parts of Bootes and Draco, but has since fallen into disuse.

Unlike other meteor showers, which have a two-day peak, the Quadrantids only last a few hours.
“The reason the peak is so short is because of the shower’s thin particle stream and the fact that the Earth is crossing the stream at a perpendicular angle,” NASA said.
In extreme cases, up to 200 shooting stars per hour can be seen, but that requires perfect conditions in the ideal place on earth.
The US space agency estimates that the Quadrantids will produce about 80 meteors per hour at their peak this year.
However, the Royal Astronomical Society puts the number at 60 to 110 shooting stars per hour.
Meteors are the result of small particles entering Earth’s atmosphere at high speeds, typically around 90,000 miles per hour for the Quadrantids.
The debris heats up from friction with the air and is usually destroyed in less than a second at altitudes over 50 miles.
The superheated air around the meteor briefly flares up and is visible from the ground as a streak of light known as a “shooting star.”

Explained: The difference between an asteroid, meteorite and other space rocks
An asteroid is a large boulder left over from collisions or the early solar system. Most are located between Mars and Jupiter in the Main Belt.
A comet is a rock covered with ice, methane, and other compounds. Their orbits take them much further out of the solar system.
Astronomers call a meteor a flash of light in the atmosphere when debris burns up.
This debris itself is called a meteoroid. Most are so small that they evaporate in the atmosphere.
When one of these meteoroids makes it to Earth, it’s called a meteorite.
Meteors, meteoroids and meteorites usually come from asteroids and comets.
For example, when Earth passes the tail of a comet, much of the debris in the atmosphere burns up, forming a meteor shower.

HUGE TRANSFORMATION | Painting The Interior
HUGE TRANSFORMATION Painting The Interior.
What are some imperfections that can be covered up with fresh paint?
Painting the interior of a home or a commercial space can bring about a huge transformation, completely revamping the look and feel of a room. Whether you’re looking to refresh the space with a new color or simply add a coat of fresh paint to update the appearance, a fresh paint job is a cost-effective and efficient solution to transform your space.
One of the benefits of painting the interior is that it brings a sense of freshness and newness to the space. Over time, the walls and ceilings of your home can become dull and lifeless, and painting can give them a fresh new look. A simple coat of paint can give a room a whole new personality, and can even brighten up the space, making it feel more welcoming and comfortable.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, painting the interior comes with a host of practical benefits. New paint can help to protect walls and ceilings, making them more durable and easier to clean. It can also help to eliminate odors, which can build up over time.
Furthermore, painting the interior is an excellent way to cover up any unsightly blemishes or imperfections that may have accrued over the years. Whether it’s a crack in the wall or a scuff on the baseboard, fresh paint can make these areas look new again, making them blend in smoothly with the rest of the space.

Decomposing plants and soil could contribute to an increase in greenhouse gases
A team of researchers lead by Florida State University have found new evidence that permafrost thawing is releasing large quantities of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere via plants, which could accelerate warming trends.
The research is featured in the newest edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
“We’ve known for a while now that permafrost is thawing,” said Suzanne Hodgkins, the lead author on the paper and a doctoral student in chemical oceanography at Florida State. “But what we’ve found is that the associated changes in plant community composition in the polar regions could lead to way more carbon being released into the atmosphere as methane.”
Permafrost is soil that is frozen year round and is typically located in polar regions. As the world has gotten slightly warmer, that permafrost is thawing and decomposing, which is producing increased amounts of methane.
Relative to carbon dioxide, methane has a disproportionately large global warming potential. Methane is 33 times more effective at warming the Earth on a mass basis and a century time scale relative to carbon dioxide.
As the plants break down, they are releasing carbon into the atmosphere. And if the permafrost melts entirely, there would be five times the amount of carbon in the atmosphere than there is now, said Jeff Chanton, the John Widmer Winchester Professor of Oceanography at Florida State.
“The world is getting warmer, and the additional release of gas would only add to our problems,” he said.
Chanton and Hodgkins’ work, “Changes in peat chemistry associated with permafrost thaw increase greenhouse gas production,” was funded by a three-year, $400,000 Department of Energy grant. They traveled to Sweden multiple times to collect soil samples for the study.
The research is a multicontinent effort with researchers from North America, Europe and Australia all contributing to the work.

Social media, OTT contents to be taxed
Information Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud yesterday said foreign social media, publishing of contents and advertisements on Over the Top (OTT) platforms and other related matters would be brought under tax net and modern rules and regulations.
"Different contents including entertainment have been streaming by using such platforms across the globe. It is happening in our country also. But we saw that many allegations were raised against screening of uncensored contents. The government is also not getting tax properly," he said.
The minister was talking to reporters before joining an inter-ministerial meeting through video conference from the meeting room of his ministry at the Secretariat.
Posts and Telecommunication Minister Mustafa Jabbar, State Minister for Information Dr Md Murad Hasan, Posts and Telecommunication Secretary Md Nur-ur-Rahman, Bangladesh Satellite Company Chairman Shahjahan Mahmud and BTRC Chairman Md Jahurul Haque, among others, joined the meeting.
Hasan termed the social media, OTT platforms and publishing of different audio and video contents as growing reality of the present era.
He said the OTT and social media platforms are reaching everyone through mobile phone. So, there are opportunities to build the society and also to create instability in the society as well, he added.
"Earlier, we saw attempts to spread rumours and create communal riots by using social media platforms. At the same time, adverse reactions were created among the youths and juveniles. We should use these mediums properly," said Hasan.
He said the information ministry asked for explanation from Grameen Phone and Robi. Of them, there was no proper answer in the Grameen Phone's explanation while Robi is preparing its answer, he added.
Hasan said "Digital Bangladesh" is not a dream today, it is now a reality under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the supervision of Prime Minister's Information and Communication Technology Affairs Advisor Sajeeb Wazed Joy.
Besides, he said, the new reality is that the country is facing different legal challenges and witnessing flouting of values. "So, we are working with this issue," said Hasan, also Awami League joint general secretary.
The minister said the OTT platform is one of the growing sectors and there is an opportunity to invest thousands of crores of taka by paying tax. Besides, social media and other platforms like Netflix and YouTube are taking out country's money. But the government is not getting tax.
He said the same situation prevailed in other countries at the beginning. But, now many countries have introduced rules and regulations, he added.
Hasan said neighbouring India has introduced different acts, rules and regulations to allow screening contents of other countries by using OTT platforms.
"Even, Facebook registered it as Indian company to run it in India. But it is not registered in our country. And the posts and telecommunication ministry has employed an agent through continuous efforts," he added.
In the meeting, Mustafa Jabbar said, "We expect responsible roles from the directors of social media and OTT platforms in the perspective of our social and cultural values, state's security and law and order. They will have to conduct their businesses by showing regard to the country's laws and culture."
As per the decision of the meeting, a five-member committee headed by additional secretary (broadcast) of information ministry was formed to bring the social media and contents in OTT platforms under modern rules and regulations and tax net.


Offshore wind harnesses the power of wind to generate clean, renewable electricity. Wind power is generated by converting kinetic wind energy into mechanical energy, and then electric energy. Blowing wind turns turbine blades connected to a rotor, and the rotor then rotates drivetrains or gearboxes to generate electricity. From there, the generated electricity travels by cables to offshore and onshore substations, which connect to the electricity grid where it is delivered to homes and businesses.
Parts of an Offshore Wind Power Generation System
- Wind Tower Generator Foundations & Substructions: These are the structures that support the offshore wind turbines. The support structure can either be fixed to the ocean floor or utilize floating turbine technology that moors the floating foundation in place. The structures are manufactured from steel or concrete.
- Inter-Array Cables: These cables deliver power from each turbine to a centralized offshore substation or multiple substations.
- Wind Turbine Generator: The wind turbine generator consists of a rotor (blades & hub), a nacelle (which houses the components generating electricity), a tower, and a transition piece that connects the tower to the foundation. Towers and transition pieces are made from steel and concrete, and blades are constructed out of composite materials.
- Offshore Substation Platform or Structure: The offshore substation collects the power from the wind project and prepares it to be sent to an onshore substation.
- Export Cable: Power from the wind project is exported from the offshore substation to an onshore substation via one, or more, export cables.
- Onshore Substation: Export cables deliver power to an onshore substation that connects and synchronizes it to the grid.

We support and service your measurement equipment through its entire life-cycle, from installation to preventive maintenance and calibration to equipment repair.
Digital dissolved oxygen sensors with Intelligent Sensor Management (ISM) technology are in-line analytical sensors designed to provide a continuous measurement of dissolved oxygen in process manufacturing or water systems. ISM dissolved oxygen sensors use adaptive algorithms to provide you with real-time predictive diagnostics for your sensor. This technology helps to reduce maintenance costs, simplify sensor handling and increase process reliability.
METTLER TOLEDO's digital DO sensors provide precise measurements via our innovative ISM technology that is unaffected by electrical interference or data loss due to long cable runs.
These digital dissolved oxygen probes are made of high-quality materials to ensure reliability in production environments and cleanability in hygienic environments.
ISM DO sensors use real-time information on sensor conditions to provide predictive diagnostics that clearly indicate, in days, when maintenance or replacement parts will be needed.
ISM digital dissolved oxygen sensors provide consistently reliable measurement accuracy, even at trace, ppb-level detection limits, making them suitable for brewing and pure water applications.
Plug and Measure technology in these digital DO sensors allows a sensor to be calibrated away from the process in a controlled environment. This enables fast, error-free measurement from the start.
METTLER TOLEDO offers digital dissolved oxygen sensors in both amperometric (polarographic) technology and optical technology, allowing you to switch to digital measurement without process changes.
A digital dissolved oxygen sensor an in-line analytical instrument designed for continuous DO monitoring and control with real-time results, for a range of industrial processes. METTLER TOLEDO's digital dissolved oxygen sensors use a technology called Intelligent Sensor Management (ISM). ISM dissolved oxygen sensors offer a strong digital signal to prevent signal interference, so you can place your dissolved oxygen analyzer wherever you need it. They offer predictive diagnostics that clearly show in days when your ISM DO sensor will need replacement parts or calibration.
Digital dissolved oxygen analyzers work based on the technology of the METTLER TOLEDO DO sensor selected. METTLER TOLEDO offers two digital DO sensor technologies: Amperometric and Optical.
Amperometric: These in-line dissolved oxygen sensors use a gas-permeable membrane to separate the sample from an electrochemical cell in the sensor. Oxygen diffuses through the membrane in direct proportion to the partial pressure of oxygen in the liquid outside the in-line DO sensor. A cathode and anode inside the probe are polarized with a voltage to enable the electrochemical reaction of oxygen. Oxygen is reduced at the cathode while the anode is oxidized, producing a small current in direct proportion to the amount of oxygen in the sample. In addition, the dissolved oxygen sensor uses the temperature value to convert the oxygen partial pressure signal to a dissolved oxygen concentration value by compensating for the changing solubility of oxygen with temperature.
Optical: These in-line dissolved oxygen probes use optical technology for measurement. They contain an oxygen-sensitive layer that can fluoresce. This layer absorbs light from a light emitting diode in the sensor, and the light is released as fluorescence. The fluorescence lifetime depends on the amount of oxygen present in the sample medium.
ISM dissolved oxygen sensors store their own calibration data, so they can be quickly and accurately calibrated in any convenient location without having to adjust the transmitter. To increase productivity, ISM technology also provides accurate diagnostic tools to notify you when your sensor needs calibrated. Calibration processes vary based on the technology and type of sensor, but all digital dissolved oxygen sensors can be calibrated on-site by trained technicians.
METTLER TOLEDO has a wide range of in-line digital DO sensors, including
InPro 6850i digital amperometric dissolved oxygen sensors for sterile conditions
InPro 6860i digital optical DO sensors suitable for hygienic environments
InPro 6900i/6950i amperometric DO probes for brewing
InPro 6900i optical digital DO sensors for brewing
Digital UPW DO Sensors suitable for semiconductor water and power plant cycle chemistry.

From: Aanchal Narang
What I love most about the Psalms is their unadulterated honesty. They don’t hide the fact that our relationship with God is, more often than not, complicated.
All of us have walked hard roads with God, or are even walking them now. Most of us have felt different parts of our belief crumble and have sat with the pieces, or are still sitting with the pieces, trying to figure out how to put them back together again. How can I love God? How can I be angry with Him? How can I reconcile this, make sense of that?
The Psalms remind me that there have been others—kings, warriors, poets—that have struggled too. That we aren’t alone on the hard road. That generations of believers have walked it already.
Very often I find myself seeking God’s presence in one breath and begging Him to leave me be in the next. I desire closeness with God, but ache when He is too close.
It’s hardly simple, and I have felt guilt for these coexisting passions inside me. Psalm 39, written by a man and a king filled with the same passions, helps me realize that they’re actually two sides of the same coin.
The same thing that draws us to God is the same thing that makes us shiver and recoil from His presence. His Holiness. His holiness is what we desire and what we are scared of. His holiness is what our wounded natures desperately need, the only thing that will fill us. But His holiness is also a sword that severs us from our old selves, burns off all our impurities, pulls and pulls from us until something better comes out and it hurts.
David says, “But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you.”
But he also says, “Remove your scourge from me; I am overcome by the blow of your hand.”
And David also says, “Hear my prayer, Lord, listen to my cry for help;”
But he also says, “Look away from me, that I may enjoy life again.”
I understand. And thank God we have a faith that not only allows for this complicated honesty, but remembers it and records it for posterity. The Psalms have captured David at his best and his worst, and have carried me through my best and my worst. May they serve you wherever they find you.
I am getting her MFA through Boston University’s Creative Writing Program. I live in Brighton, like going on morning walks, dancing, and anything that makes me move around. I use the word beautiful too often. I like trees and dirt and the earth. Honestly, I like most things, so feel free to talk to me about your favorite books, most random interests, what you had for lunch, or anything else that may pop into your head. I promise I’ll be interested.

San Francisco Credit Union Offers Home Mortgages With No Down Payment
By: CBS Local
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — A major obstacle to home buying in the Bay Area is coming down for customers of a local credit union which is now offering financing without a down payment.
San Francisco Federal Credit Union is offering up to 100 percent financing of a new home, which a credit union executive called “game-changing” for potential homeowners who just don’t have enough for the down payment.
“In our community we saw a lot of members come and really want to buy a home and in that middle market where’s they have good jobs and make good income, but they just didn’t have that full 20 percent down,” said SFFUC Senior Vice President Rebecca Reynolds Lytle.
With the average San Francisco home now priced at a million dollars, a $200,000 down payment is a deal breaker for many.
Applicants must work in San Francisco or San Mateo County, and the home being bought has to be the applicant’s primary residence and located in one of the nine Bay Area counties.
“It’s not a refinance loan, it’s not an investment property loan,” said Reynolds Lytle.
Applicants do go through a strict vetting process and not everyone qualifies. The home also has to be approved by the credit union.
Local realtor Darryl Honda said the program could change the Bay Area rental landscape.
“This is going to put people that are on the edge to make that decision … it’s going to turn people into homeowners,” said Honda.
