The Patriot Ledger is committed to creating a more inclusive, diverse and equitable workforce.
Aiming for transparency, Gannett Media, parent company of The Patriot Ledger, USA Today and approximately 250 newsrooms across the country committed in 2020 to publishing a diversity census each year, with the goal of having all its news teams reflect the demographics of the communities they serve by 2025.
Today, we are publishing our third annual newsroom diversity census. This internal census will keep us accountable and transparent as we strive as a company and as a newsroom to reach our diversity goals.
The American Community Survey by the U.S. Census Bureau asks two separate questions, one about Hispanic origin and one about race, allowing individuals to self-select from multiple options. However, to compare with internal Gannett employee information that asks individuals to mark only one option, we used the following categories: Hispanic or Latino (for ACS, regardless of any other race selected), White (not Hispanic or Latino), Black or African American (not Hispanic or Latino), Asian (not Hispanic or Latino), American Indian or Alaska Native (not Hispanic or Latino), Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander (not Hispanic or Latino), or two or more races (not Hispanic or Latino). All information on racial identity is provided voluntarily by employees. Gannett also allows an individual to not disclose their race or ethnicity.
Aligned with those goals is to be more diligent in recruiting a diverse pool of candidates for all open positions. That includes making a concerted effort to cast a wider net seeking out diverse candidates when positions open.
There haven’t been many full-time positions to fill at The Patriot Ledger over the last few years, but three of the five news interns we hired during that time-period have been diverse candidates. We’re making progress, but there’s still a long way to go.
In addition to making our newsroom more diverse, we’re focused more than ever on making sure our news coverage reflects the diversity of our communities.
According to the most recent U.S. Census in 2020, Quincy saw a population increase of almost 10%, its third straight decade of growth. The city’s Asian population rose to nearly 31% of the city’s residents and its Black population rose to 5.7%. Both ethnic groups saw an increase of nearly 50% over 2010.
Meanwhile, Quincy’s white population dropped from 67.3% in 2010 to 55.1% in 2020. The city’s Hispanic or Latino population also rose to 5.1% of the total population.
Population also grew in Milton, Braintree and Weymouth. Braintree saw a marked increase in its Asian population, which went from about 7.6% of the town’s residents in 2010 to more than 17% in 2020. The share of white residents dropped in each of those three towns.

In addition to taking a hard look at ourselves, The Patriot Ledger is taking a closer look at how diversity and underserved communities are being represented in our coverage.
One area you’ve probably noticed this happening is through a reduction in some of our crime coverage. We’ve spent the last year talking internally about our approach and taking action. The Patriot Ledger is committed to serving its communities with public safety and crime reporting that is fair, solution-based and focused on accountability. We will listen to, engage with and respond to those often underserved and statistically misrepresented in crime and courts coverage. And we are committed to balancing our crime reporting by highlighting the good news that builds and restores relationships and trust with all residents.
Many in the communities we cover are also taking the lead in providing a more accepting and diverse place for all residents to thrive.
One example is Weymouth Pride Project, which continues to grow. Launched last year, the group aims to support lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer residents and promote Weymouth as a welcoming community that celebrates diversity and inclusion.
“When you talk about making something visible, this is what you’re talking about,” Annemarie Reardon said. “Last year was really new, and we were pushing forward to find supporters and collaborators. This year is starting to bear fruit in terms of collaboration.”
Reardon said troup raised more than $5,000, which allowed them to do more than simply provide rainbow flags for residents to fly during Pride Month in June.
Also in Weymouth, a student-led summit to celebrate diversity, equity and inclusion was held at Weymouth High School at the end of April 2022.
Many communities, including Scituate, Plymouth, have hired positions in its school departments to promote diversity, equity and inclusion while others are looking to add those positions. The tide is beginning to turn on the South Shore.
The spring and summer of 2020 brought so much injustice to light with the police-involved killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and Rayshard Brooks and attacks on Asians because of President Donald Trump’s racist rants about COVID-19.
It’s hard to say something good came out of all that tragedy, but many from all walks of life have stepped up since then to seek solutions and are looking to make a difference in bringing people together. Count us among them.

In 1994, Alex Christopher and Phil Schneider gained access to the underground facilities beneath Denver International Airport before it officially opened.
Below are some of the photos they took, along with commentary written by Ms. Christopher in 1995:
All of the following pictures are of the underground area at the Denver International Airport. Most of the areas are not being used, dead baggage equipment, long highways, many chain link fences and locked up fences that lead to lower levels and to what I know not. Many large open areas are not being used. Many large fenced in areas are not being used.engineer who had been involved for many years working in construction for the Industrial Defense Complex building giant “Deep Underground Bases.” He told me that he had been offered the position of head engineer for the construction of the base that was to go under the new Denver International Airport back in the early 80s.
[Phil Schneider] pointed out many things to me, such as, on the lowest level we could go into in the underground was very hot, not cool like a basement. He said it was hot because there were many level below it and the heat from there was rising from below us.
As told to me by a person that worked with one of the construction companies, there are five secret underground buildings with a depth of from 75 to 120 feet on each one, all with interconnecting tunnels to each other and with 2.50 to 3.00 mile long and 16 feet wide. I have even been told of a huge forty foot diameter tunnel that was already constructed and in place in this area and is believed to connect with “Dreamland.”
He looked at the electrical panels as we passed them and a crew of electricains were working on the panesl and he said they were N.S.A. and that the size of the panels would indicate that there were at least eight levels below this lowest level and that we were on in the the Denver International Airport underground.
I will tell you this–it is strange down there under Denver Airport. This airport underground puts out a set of feelings. I can’t tell you if what I am picking up there are things that are going on underground in that area at this time, or if I am picking up what has happened there in the future which we have not arrived at yet.hundreds of miles of underground roads, all connecting with high-speed bullet trains that can go at “Mach” speeds. He also went on to tell me that most of these bases are now jointly occupied by humans and either ancient earth races or alien races. According to him, these underground bases are to serve many different purposes, such as medical research labs, prisons, work camps, military accommodations, food storage, etc.
He said that in the fight with them, one of them that he killed, the eye shields popped and and revealed yellow snake eyes with the up and down type of pupil like a reptilian.
He also discussed the underground bases/prison camps. He said there are thousands of children being used in these underground prison camps and that when they are physically all used up and can not go on, that the nasty Draco’s kill, slaughter and eat them on the spot.
The part of the covert government/CIA etc. that are involved with the underground bases that are jointly occupied with these agents and negative aliens have been for years working together to create a most deadly biological/germ warfare product. They have found that by using glandular secretions from the aliens to create the biological weapon that is totally deadly to humans while it has not effect on the aliens. And of course there is no antidote or if there is, the government is the only one with it.
Below] is a picture of one of the long four sided concrete tunnels at the Denver International Airport that runs along adjacent to the tram tunnels. There is only one entrance into this concrete tunnel under DIA from the tram tunnels. One end is open in the working areas of the underground and at the very end of the tunnel where the line ends at Concorse C, there you will find a huge steel door that is large enough for a dump truck to enter. The steel doors open onto 55 square miles of open flat empty land that could be used for anything.
I hope you can sleep well knowing this information, as for myself, I sleep very little. –Alex Christopher.

"March 9, 2011 -- The FDA has approved Benlysta, the first new lupus treatment in 50 years.
An FDA advisory panel last November voted 13-2 in favor of approval. But the panel noted that Benlysta is no wonder drug. Overall, it offered a"...
PLAQUENIL is indicated for the suppressive treatment and treatment of acute attacks of malaria due to Plasmodium vivax, P. malariae, P. ovale, and susceptible strains of P. falciparum. It is also indicated for the treatment of discoid and systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Lupus Erythematosus And Rheumatoid Arthritis
PLAQUENIL is useful in patients with the following disorders who have not responded satisfactorily to drugs with less potential for serious side effects: lupus erythematosus (chronic discoid and systemic) and acute or chronic rheumatoid arthritis.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
One tablet of 200 mg of hydroxychloroquine sulfate is equivalent to 155 mg base.
In adults, 400 mg (=310 mg base) on exactly the same day of each week. In infants and children, the weekly suppressive dosage is 5 mg, calculated as base, per kg of body weight, but should not exceed the adult dose regardless of weight.
If circumstances permit, suppressive therapy should begin two weeks prior to exposure. However, failing this, in adults an initial double (loading) dose of 800 mg (=620 mg base), or in children 10 mg base/kg may be taken in two divided doses, six hours apart. The suppressive therapy should be continued for eight weeks after leaving the endemic area.
Treatment Of The Acute Attack
In adults, an initial dose of 800 mg (= 620 mg base) followed by 400 mg (=310 mg base) in six to eight hours and 400 mg (=310 mg base) on each of two consecutive days (total 2 g hydroxychloroquine sulfate or 1.55 g base). An alternative method, employing a single dose of 800 mg (=620 mg base), has also proved effective.
The dosage for adults may also be calculated on the basis of body weight; this method is preferred for infants and children. A total dose representing 25 mg of base per kg of body weight is administered in three days, as follows:
First dose: 10 mg base per kg (but not exceeding a single dose of 620 mg base).
Second dose: 5 mg base per kg (but not exceeding a single dose of 310 mg base) 6 hours after first dose.
Third dose: 5 mg base per kg 18 hours after second dose.
Fourth dose: 5 mg base per kg 24 hours after third dose.
For radical cure of vivax and malariae malaria concomitant therapy with an 8-aminoquinoline compound is necessary.One tablet of hydroxychloroquine sulfate, 200 mg, is equivalent to 155 mg base.
Initially, the average adult dose is 400 mg (=310 mg base) once or twice daily. This may be continued for several weeks or months, depending on the response of the patient. For prolonged maintenance therapy, a smaller dose, from 200 mg to 400 mg (=155 mg to 310 mg base) daily will frequently suffice.
The incidence of retinopathy has been reported to be higher when this maintenance dose is exceeded.
The compound is cumulative in action and will require several weeks to exert its beneficial therapeutic effects, whereas minor side effects may occur relatively early. Several months of therapy may be required before maximum effects can be obtained. If objective improvement (such as reduced joint swelling, increased mobility) does not occur within six months, the drug should be discontinued. Safe use of the drug in the treatment of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis has not been established.
In adults , from 400 mg to 600 mg (=310 mg to 465 mg base) daily, each dose to be taken with a meal or a glass of milk. In a small percentage of patients, troublesome side effects may require temporary reduction of the initial dosage. Later (usually from five to ten days), the dose may gradually be increased to the optimum response level, often without return of side effects.
When a good response is obtained (usually in four to twelve weeks), the dosage is reduced by 50 percent and continued at a usual maintenance level of 200 mg to 400 mg (=155 mg to 310 mg base) daily, each dose to be taken with a meal or a glass of milk. The incidence of retinopathy has been reported to be higher when this maintenance dose is exceeded.
Should a relapse occur after medication is withdrawn, therapy may be resumed or continued on an intermittent schedule if there are no ocular contraindications.
Corticosteroids and salicylates may be used in conjunction with this compound, and they can generally be decreased gradually in dosage or eliminated after the drug has been used for several weeks. When gradual reduction of steroid dosage is indicated, it may be done by reducing every four to five days the dose of cortisone by no more than from 5 mg to 15 mg; of hydrocortisone from 5 mg to 10 mg; of prednisolone and prednisone from 1 mg to 2.5 mg; of methylprednisolone and triamcinolone from 1 mg to 2 mg; and of dexamethasone from 0.25 mg to 0.5 mg.
PLAQUENIL tablets are white, to off-white, film coated tablets imprinted "PLAQUENIL" on one face in black ink. Each tablet contains 200 mg hydroxychloroquine sulfate (equivalent to 155 mg base). Bottles of 100 tablets (NDC 59212-562-10 & 59212-562-20).
Dispense in a tight, light-resistant container as defined in the USP/NF. Keep out of the reach of children.

SOUTHAMPTON, L.I. — A Long Island man desperate to find relief from post-COVID headaches and neck pain rented a hyperbaric chamber for his living room, so he can climb inside and breathe 92% pure oxygen for close to 90 minutes a day.
“I just knew the benefits of that and trying to get oxygen to my head, to my brain, and to also reduce the inflammation that was going on,” Devin Russell, 35, told PIX11 News when we paid a visit to his Southampton home.
The soft-chambered device sits in a corner near his window. He is renting it for $599 a month.
Russell was running an integrative medical practice when the COVID-19 crisis hit New York in March 2020, and he recalled that by March 14, he had “some strange dizziness, body aches, and disassociation.
He remembered, “They wouldn’t give me a test.”
Russell said the New York State hotline suggested he may have had the flu.
“I said, ‘No, this is not the flu,'” Russell recalled.
Russell said he felt fine for 17 days and then he got really sick at night.
“I went to the E/R once, because I had such bad inflammation in my head,” Russell remembered.
Russell said some telemedicine doctors told him he likely had COVID.
As the weeks and months went by, he said his mental state was affected.
“Strange thoughts popping into my head,” Russell said.
According to a recent study published by Oxford University, over one in three (34%) patients who got sick with COVID-19 later developed neurological or psychiatric issues. The study looked at health records from more than 264,000 people, most of them Americans.
Psychiatrist Hisam Goueli said he treated all kinds of people with problems, post COVID.
“It’s not surprising that it impacts the mental state,” Dr. Goueli told PIX11 News. “COVID is a multi-system illness.”
Dr. Goueli said he even met people who’d developed severe psychosis.
“They were in the age range 30 to 50, and they were having ‘first onset’ psychosis,” Goueli said. “Classic signs of psychosis would be paranoia, suspiciousness, delusions, and auditory and visual hallucinations, the psychosis was incredibly violent — both to themselves and others. For those individuals who ‘presented,’ they had no prior psychiatric history, no family history,” the doctor added.
Ryhaan Williams, a broadcasting executive who moved to Georgia from New Jersey during her COVID ordeal, said she’s changed her diet and is trying to manage her stress level to deal with post-infection anxiety and dreams.
“The brain fog isn’t as bad as it had been,” Williams told us. “It was horrible, the nightmares and hallucinations, every time you had a relapse. I thought I saw a Confederate soldier walking through the house.”
Williams said the fatigue was overwhelming and that fueled depression.
She talked of “this breathlessness and racing heart that comes out of nowhere.”
Devin Russell has now started a website which offers supplements, doctor recommendations, and information about devices that could potentially help long-haul patients with their lingering pain.
We asked Dr. Alisha Oropallo, a specialist who’s the director of Northwell Comprehensive Wound Healing Center and Hyperbarics, when oxygen therapy could help long-haul patients with persisting symptoms.
“The research looks promising,” Dr. Oropallo said, “and we look forward to more funding available to do advanced research in patients with COVID. There are some studies that demonstrate that the hyperbaric oxygen may be helpful in patients… and useful.”
When Devin Russell started his treatments, he was going to a medical-grade hyperbaric chamber.
“With a package, it was about $260 a session,” Russell recalled, “so that cost a lot.”
Russell paid more than $1,000 a week for more than six weeks.
“When you’re in the medical grade chamber, you get 100% oxygen,” Russell remembered. “You’re basically in a glass tube, and they’re pumping in 100% oxygen.”
Russell said his treatments have been worth the cost.
“My brain fog has been much better, the pain in my neck and my head has been much better,” said Russell.

It takes more than guns to produce the increased frequency of mass killings such as the school shooting in Newtown, Conn. ("What must be done," Dec. 26). As a society we are at risk of accepting the lethal combination of firearms in the hands of disturbed and marginalized individuals as the norm.
If we are serious in our effort to remedy this rising tide of "random" violence, we must look beyond the proliferation of assault weapons and the policies that enable their ownership. The problem is much deeper than that.
As a culture, we are increasingly disconnected from one another. It is not just our newest technological devices that have become digitized. We as individuals are speeding up and noticing less.
Face to face interactions with our fellow humans have become characterized by "efficient" sound-bites, lest we be distracted from what else is going on. Every thread of our social fabric is showing signs of strain — communities, institutions, families and individuals.
We exercise less patience. We work longer hours and spend less time with our families and friends. And thanks to our "devices," we are never truly away from work.
This trend toward social isolation and atomization has dire consequences. Healthier people will simply have relationships characterized by less intimacy. But for those who are already vulnerable and who may be predisposed to engage in destructive behaviors, there is a greater risk they will turn further inward, while those around them fail to notice the change.
To truly honor the lives lost at Newtown we need to call time out for a serious reevaluation of what has brought us to this point and where we are going. We are in a cultural "state of emergency," and we must change direction.

Apple’s App Store revenue grew by a whopping 31% last quarter, according to analysis of downloads and purchases. The total revenue from App Store downloads in Q3 2020 is thought to stand at some $19 billion, compared with last year’s $14.5 billion.
While Apple’s year-on-year App Store growth usually increases annually, the coronavirus pandemic – which has limited the way people across the globe can spend their leisure time – is thought to have contributed to these impressive figures. The data comes from Sensor Tower, which notes that Google Play – Android’s own app store – grew at an even faster rate, while accruing just over half of Apple’s total App Store revenue at $10.3 billion.
Describing the growth as “greater than typical,” Sensor Tower adds that the mobile gaming category continued to see particularly significant increases in revenue: unsurprisingly, a lot of us are playing mobile games while stuck at home.
In terms of apps outside of the gaming category, TikTok was the highest grossing for the second consecutive quarter. Second-place went to YouTube. And Disney+ – a recent addition to the video-streaming market – came in seventh position.
Tinder also fell one position (from third- to fourth-place). Though this is to be expected, given some of the restrictions on face-to-face social meet-ups.
Globally, a number of other high-grossing apps came from markets outside of the U.S., including Tencent Video (a Chinese video-sharing app) and Piccoma (a Japanese manga app).
When it comes to downloads, rather than revenue, it’s unsurprising that Zoom clocked-in second-position for the third quarter. Remote working has become the norm for most of us, and video-conferencing apps like Zoom have been adopted across workplaces.
While Q3 2020 revenue of $19 billion is good news for App Store developers, it’s great news for Apple, too. The company takes a 30% slice of all app purchases, including those made in-app. It’s a controversial set-up, though: Apple has come under fire for its “App Store tax” and is currently battling Fortnite-developer Epic Games over the matter.

South Carolina Students to Speak with NASA Astronaut on Space Station
Students at Laing Middle School in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, near Charleston, will speak with a NASA astronaut living, working and doing research aboard the International Space Station at 11:30 a.m. EDT Monday, Oct. 2. The 20-minute, Earth-to-space call will air live on NASA Television and the agency’s website.
Expedition 53 Commander Col. Randy Bresnik is a member of The Citadel class of 1989. He will answer questions from students at Laing Middle School. The school is hosting the event with the help of Citadel cadets and The Citadel STEM Center of Excellence. Cadets will lead the younger students as they pose questions to the Citadel astronaut alumnus.
Bresnik launched to the space station July 28 and is expected to return to Earth in December. A Marine Corps veteran, Bresnik is one of the college’s most visible principled leaders. In May of 2004, Bresnik was selected from among 4,000 applicants to become one of the 11 members of NASA’s Astronaut Class 9 and the first graduate of The Citadel to fly in space. Expedition 52/53 is Bresnik’s second mission to the space station; the first was in 2009.
Media interested in covering the event should contact Kim Keelor at firstname.lastname@example.org. Laing Middle School is at 2705 Bulrush Basket Lane in Mt. Pleasant.
The cadets will lead a two-part event for the eighth-grade students, visiting the class first to teach them about Bresnik, the space station, how the live downlink works and conduct an in-class lesson related to the space station. On Oct. 2, they will lead the conversation with Bresnik, guiding the participating students as they ask questions that are expected to revolve around Bresnik’s work with space station experiments and space fitness. Middle school students across the South Carolina Lowcountry and cadets on The Citadel campus are expected to watch the event on NASA TV.
Linking students directly to astronauts aboard the space station provides unique, authentic experiences designed to enhance student learning, performance and interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). This in-flight education downlink is an integral component of NASA Education’s STEM on Station activity, which provides a variety of space station-related resources and opportunities to students and educators.

I’m sorry to report that 2013 is almost over, because it’s going to be remembered as a year of fabulous cinema and seriously award-worthy performances. Before we settle in for another season of televised trophy handouts, let’s contribute our own accolades: Here are our 10 favorite movie performances of 2013.
I don’t quite understand the breathless adulation for American Hustle, which is shaping up to being one of the best-reviewed movies of the year in spite of its ridiculous, bafflingly hammy characters. But Amy Adams’ turn as the accent-twisting Sydney Prosser reminds of you of her Oscar-nominated work in The Fighter: That Veronica Lake coif conceals grim, resolute power and a bit of fear. Amy Adams is the master (teehee!) of pairing silent conviction and nervous energy, even when she’s in the middle of a high-stakes, allegiance-shifting love triangle with Bradley Cooper and »

I'm of the opinion 2013 was a great year for movies overall, but at the same time it wasn't necessarily a great year with a ton of great movies, thus making my top ten of 2013 a little harder than I'd expected to put together. Before finalizing the list I attempted to watch and rewatch as many movies as I could fit in while at the same time hoping to create some distance from those experiences, expecting a certain grouping of films to eventually bubble to the surface as the most memorable and emotional affecting in what really ended up being a rather dark and melancholy year at the cinema. For me, a year end top ten is about the films I want to watch again. Films that, as soon as they end, you could watch them all over again immediately, not wanting whatever connection to what you just saw to go away. »

Federal judge Ruben Castillo ruled that all of the Sherlock Holmes stories written before the year 1923 have entered the public domain. The 10 or so stories written after that date -- which include storylines like Dr. Watson's second wife and Sherlock Holmes' retirement -- will still remain under copyright.
This decision was made after author Leslie Klinger wrote the book "The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes" and contributed to the anthology "In the Company of Sherlock Holmes," and was then threatened by Doyle's estate. Klinger went to get a judicial declaration saying that, by copyright law, the Sherlock Holmes stories belong in public domain.

As with any year, some people have begun arguing that 2013 was a bad year for film, because of the expected glut of effects-heavy blockbusters that litter the multiplexes each summer, or because there was a lack of auteur-driven storytelling for the majority of the year. Though it is indeed frustrating that studios hold their more prestigious films until the last month or two of this or any year, 2013 was an excellent year for film. You shouldn’t have to look first to Sound on Sight’s list of the 30 best films of 2013 for proof, but you should add it to the pile, no doubt. We asked our film writers to provide their personal lists of the 15 best films of the year; everyone’s number-one pick got 15 points allocated, everyone’s number-two pick got 14 points, and so on. (As you’ll see, the point values for each of the 30 films is included here. »

Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz play a couple who make a sex tape one night, then realise it's gone missing the next morning, prompting a "frantic search for its whereabouts". Segel and Diaz reunite three years on from Bad Teacher (and a half year ahead of Bad Teacher 2, which is also being directed by the man in charge here, Jake Kasdan, whose first ever job was on Freaks & Geeks). This is also, possibly, Segel's Machinist: he's got ever so thin for the part.

‘American Hustle’ and David O. Russell movies box office: Russell’s latest has stronger than expected wide-release debut, could become the director’s top-grossing movie (photo: Amy Adams in ‘American Hustle’) Directed by David O. Russell, and starring Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams, Christian Bale, Jennifer Lawrence, and Jeremy Renner, American Hustle opened with a better than expected $19.1 million after expanding to 2,507 North American locations, according to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. Some pundits had been expecting a debut in the low-to-mid teens. For comparison’s sake: Three years ago, David O. Russell’s The Fighter, which also featured American Hustle‘s Christian Bale and Amy Adams, expanded to 2,503 locations, grossing a considerably more modest $12.56 million. Comparisons to last year’s Silver Linings Playbook — also directed by Russell, and featuring Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence — are impossible to make, as that film expanded to 2,523 locations only on its tenth »

Actors best known for their roles in TV and cinema are thrilling audiences and critics in plays full of violent, challenging action
The revered Kenneth Tynan, who reviewed theatre for the Observer in the 1950s and 1960s, said: "A good drama critic is one who perceives what is happening in the theatre of his time." All the same, it can be hard to spot a golden age when you are in the middle of it. It seems probable, though, that the London stage is enjoying at least a golden winter.
Four British actors, each of them a household name across the world, are delighting theatre audiences in leading roles in four plays that are not obvious crowd pleasers: Coriolanus, Richard II, Henry V and a new musical version of the Bret Easton Ellis novel American Psycho. The popularity of the leading men, two from the world of film, Jude Law and Tom Hiddleston, »

After unveiling a star-studded poster yesterday, a new trailer for Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel has arrived online, which serves the dual purpose of introducing the many characters, as well as showing off the film's hugely impressive ensemble cast.
Among the name set to appear in the film are Ralph Fiennes, F. Murray Abraham, Mathieu Amalric, Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Harvey Keitel, Jude Law, Bill Murray, Ed Norton, Saoirse Ronan, Jason Schwartzman, Lea Seydoux, Tilda Swinton, Tom Wilkinson, Owen Wilson and newcomer Tony Revolori.
"The Grand Budapest Hotel tells of a legendary concierge at a famous European hotel between the wars and his friendship with a young employee who becomes his trusted protégé. The story involves the theft and recovery of a priceless Renaissance painting, the battle for an enormous family fortune and the slow and then sudden upheavals that transformed Europe during the first half of the 20th century. »

Kill Your Darlings made a splash at Sundance for first-time director John Krokidas, and not just because it starred Daniel Radcliffe as a budding collegiate writer named Allen Ginsberg. It presented a stylish, yet un-romanticized vision of Columbia University in the ’40s, a handful of recognizable stars as young literary icons (including Jack Huston as Jack Kerouac and Ben Foster as William S. Burroughs), and a largely unknown story of the murder that brought the Beat Generation together. It’s also a distinctly gay narrative during an awards season that has left us largely bereft of Lgbt characters, with the exception of Dallas Buyers Club and Blue is the Warmest Color. Kill Your Darlings is historical in scope but modern in its depiction of intellectual gay men and their gorgeous muse Lucien Carr (Dane DeHaan in a breakout role).

After yesterday’s new poster for Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel offered images of the various oddball characters in the film (see it lower down the page), here comes a brand new trailer that does something similar using footage. And it’s as quirky as you could possibly wish. The Grand Budapest Hotel’s story revolves around Ralph Fiennes’ Gustave H, hotel manager and serial guest lover. His travails appear to begin when a deceased client of a certain age (Tilda Swinton) turns up dead in the hotel and leaves him a valuable painting in her will - much to the distress of Adrien Brody’s Dmitri.There’s mystery, crime, danger, laughter and, of course, a whole lot of weirdness to be found lurking within, all swirling around a none-more-Andersonian cast including Willem Dafoe, Edward Norton, Owen Wilson, Jeff Goldblum, Jason Schwartzman, Saoirse Ronan, F. Murray Abraham, »
Focusing on a huge pink hotel, the theft of a priceless painting and an inheritance waiting to be claimed, as with many Anderson productions The Grand Budapest Hotel is home to a massive cast.

There’s really no mistaking a Wes Anderson film for a film by any other director, and vice versa. Many have tried to imitate his charmingly retro style and/or quirky characters, but none have really succeeded. So, when you see the newest trailer for Anderson’s newest film, The Grand Budapest Hotel, you’ll quickly have a pretty good idea of what you’re in for.
Whether or not it appeals to you depends on how much you appreciate Anderson’s style, which has become more and more ossified with every movie he has made. He is a director who knows what he likes, and he doesn’t deviate very far from his very specific aesthetic. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
If it is your cup of tea, though, The Grand Budapest hotel looks every bit as marvelous as Anderson’s previous works, »

RALEIGH — CP&L issued a warning to consumers Monday.They say someone is pretending to be an electric company de-regulationexpert in order to steal from consumers.
The con-artists work in several ways. One group talks its way intoa house to scout it out for a burglary. Others try to sell special cost-saving gadgets.
The bottom line says, CP&L, is to check company identification badgesandnotto let anyone attach something to your meter.

Hey there, we are Ian and Morgan. We're both in our late 20's and love climbing + adventuring outside. We've been everywhere in this van from midwest Colorado, to Pacific North West Washington and all the way to Canada and back. We are super excited to share this mighty home on wheels with you and have all the answer you need to feel comfortable on your next trip!
**We are taking COVID-19 seriously! The van is fully cleaned, sanitized and laundered after every renter. This includes dishes, utensils, linens and ALL surfaces!
1 Comforter, 2 pillows, 1 fitted sheet
These guys were well organized and offered a really great experience in their van, which has great capacity for off the grid escapes.
Fantastic road trip in Ian and Morgans Van. We drove from Seattle to San Luis Obispo CA and back in 6 days. Super comfortable ride. The van was easy to handle on both highway and city streets. Very clean and warm. We had absolutely no problems on the trip. Every convenience and very comfortable bed.

We had a wonderful experience renting the van from Ian and Morgan! The van is incredible, beautifully built and very comfortable. Ian and Morgan are so considerate and thoughtful, we are so thankful for the time in the van!
We had a brilliant weekend in the van, before, during and after the trip Ian and Morgan were super helpful, speedy and communicative with messaging and the van was clean and well thought out. We enjoying cruising down the coast, we stopped to make breakfast right by the beach, we never worried about battery power or water, and the induction hob and microwave were perfect for cooking. It’s handy that you don’t need an actual RV dump station to empty out at too. Even if I don’t get a van exactly like this getting a taste for the life in this van has helped me figure out what’s important to me and what I now know doesn’t really matter.

We had an amazing weekend getaway! It was great working with Ian + Morgan!
We can’t say enough great things about our experience with Ian + Morgan and their awesome van! This was our first time trying out van life and after our trip we’re inspired to purchase our own one day! The van is equipped with basically everything you need for life on the road, including an induction top and microwave for cooking as well as a super comfy bed. They took the time to give us a run through of how to use everything before our trip and it was all very easy. The van is also really simple to drive and fits in a regular parking spot. If you’re looking for your next all-in-one road trip vehicle, this is it!

Egg rolls, fried or baked
I made these last week, baking them, and my family loved them! My 4 and 2 year olds even gobbled them up. There were no leftovers! I loved them so much, I decided to try frying them. So, last night our Pastor came over for dinner, and I fried them. They were delicious! I seriously think they were better than most Chinese restaurant's egg rolls. The sauce is my mother-in-law's recipe that she got from a Laotian woman.
1 cup celery (about 4 stalks)
1 cup carrots (about 5 medium carrots)
3 cups cabbage
1/2 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger root
1 garlic clove, minced
1 pound ground turkey
2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
20 egg roll wrappers
1/8 cup flour
Canola oil (for frying)
1 cup sugar
2 cups water
½ cup vinegar (white or apple cider)
pinch of salt
1 garlic clove, minced
Chop your carrots, celery, and cabbage in your food processor until you have very fine pieces but not pureed.
Combine celery, carrots, & cabbage in a large glass bowl. Cover with plastic wrap; vent. Microwave at high 7 minutes; drain.
Combine ginger, garlic, & ground turkey in a skillet and cook over medium-high heat until meat is cooked through. (I used my garlic press to mince the ginger. It's tough, so cut it into very small pieces to do this.) Drain excess fat off meat. Add to your vegetable mixture and mix well. Cover and chill in the fridge for 30-60 minutes or until the mixture is cool.
In a small bowl, combine flour & 2 tbsp of water to make a paste. Place 1 egg roll wrapper at a time onto work surface with 1 corner pointing toward you (wrapper should look like a diamond). Spoon 3 tablespoons turkey filling into center of wrapper. Fold lower corner of egg roll wrapper over filling. Fold in side corners. Moisten top corner of wrapper with flour paste; roll up jelly-roll fashion. Repeat procedure with remaining wrappers, turkey filling, and flour paste.
Heat oil at 350 degrees in a large skillet (about 1” deep) or cook in a deep fryer. Cook egg rolls, turning after 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
For a lighter version, you can also bake the egg rolls. They are much softer but very delicious as well. Lightly coat egg rolls with cooking spray, and place, seam side down, on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 18 minutes or until golden brown. Here is the baked version:
To make the sauce for the egg rolls, in a small pot, cook 1 cup sugar on medium, stirring constantly until it turns to a brown liquid. Very carefully, add 2 cups water to the sugar. It will bubble and possibly splatter, so PLEASE be careful. The sugar will harden, so stir until it dissolves completely. Add vinegar, garlic, & salt and then let cool. Store in the fridge. You can also add a little hot chili pepper sauce to this for a spicy, sweet dip. We usually dish out the sauce for each person and let them add however much chili pepper sauce they want for their taste.
Variation: You can use an egg white instead of flour and water to seal your egg rolls on the ends.

To Whom Righteousness Is Imputed: The Process of Developing Our Faith Romans 5:1-5 tells us to whom God imputes righteousness. Righteousness is imputed to those who place their faith in Christ Jesus. The passage also reveals to us that our faith must go through several phases in order to be perfected. As believers that know God's Word and His promises, we still find ourselves in tribulations (Romans 5:3). Before we were saved, we were overcome by tribulations. As God’s children, something within us moves us to patiently stand upon God's Word during these times of trial (Romans 5:3). As we endure trials and see how God gives us the victory, we gain the experience of knowing His Word is sure and firm (Romans 5:4). Therefore, the next time a trial comes, our hope in God is stronger, because we know that God is with us and His Word will prevail over the trial (Romans 5:4). Our hope is never disappointed, because God's Word is always sure (Romans 5:5). When a believer has gone through these phases, his faith becomes steadfast. This is the testimony of Abraham in the previous passage of Scripture, when he stood for many years through trials to see God’s Word come to pass in his life (Romans 4:1-25). The child of God has learned that God's love for him is the reason for such divine involvement in his life (Romans 5:5). He loves God enough to face tribulations with a new attitude of faith and trust that God will make a way. God is faithful to always make a way for those who stand upon His Word. This is why Paul said that “faith, which worketh by love” (Galatians 5:6). We have a similar statement in Hebrews 10:36 that refers to our need for patience in order to receive God’s promises.
Hebrews 10:36, “For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.”
This passage of Scripture provides the first mention in the book of Romans of the Holy Spirit at work in our justification. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit was a tremendous evidence of one’s salvation. The indwelling of the Spirit is our “seal” of our eternal inheritance (Ephesians 1:14). We can imagine Paul making this argument in the Jewish synagogues of partaking of the Holy Spirit and God’s grace because of one’s salvation.
Ephesians 1:14, “Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.”
Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Romans 5:1 Comments Our peace with God is a fact resulting from our fellowship with Him. We now have God as our friend. Prior to our salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, we were enemies with God and received His wrath upon us, as Paul states shortly in Romans 5:9-10. Now, God is our friend. It is sin that has produced enmity between God and man. When sin is deal with through our Lord Jesus Christ, man's fellowship with God is restored and we have peace with God. In addition, our peace with God is the manifestation of our relationship with God, as the Holy Spirit indwells every believer. Our hearts are at peace, no longer full of fear and anxiety. In contract, the wicked have no peace (Isaiah 48:22).
Isaiah 48:22, “There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.” See as an example the story of Achan in Joshua 7:1-26.
Our peace, hope, and boasting all come through faith in Jesus Christ. The name of Jesus used in this verse reveals to us how this peace is available to us as believers on a continuous basis. It is through the Lordship of Jesus Christ that man daily yields his heart and crucifies his flesh in obedience to God. He is our Saviour at the new birth, opening the door for peace with God. But, we must daily choose to make Him our Lord in order to walk in fellowship with God and thus, experience this peace that comes with fellowship.
In contrast, a lack of peace makes us restless and shifting positions, always looking for something better. You can tell a restless person by the way they worry, live with stress and are always looking for someone or something new to give them a needed breakthrough. As a result, there is nothing steady in their lives. When we are not resting in peace, then we cannot stand in faith. When we learn to live in this position of peace, we have entered into the rest that is discussed in Hebrews 4:9.
Hebrews 4:9, “There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.”
Romans 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Romans 5:2 “By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand” - Comments - Not only do we have peace in our hearts because of our relationship with God the Father, which peace is a manifestation of this relationship, but we also have access into God’s favor, which Paul calls grace through our Lord Jesus Christ. This is an important fact to understand when a believer faces tribulations, as mentioned in the following statement. So, although we are saved by grace, we still need to obtain grace from God on a daily basis in order to live by faith (Hebrews 4:16).
Hebrews 4:16, “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”
For example, when we are favoured by our bosses or teacher’s at school, we are continually shown favour from them often, not just once. Though we stand in a position of favour, we have access to obtain favours by asking them for special privileges, and we are granted these privileges because of this favour. It is similar in our relationship to God. We stand in His favour and thus we have access to special privileges at our asking. Amen. Thank you, Lord!
“and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” - Comments - Now that we have the confidence of God being on our side and working in our behalf, we can rejoice in the hope that we will one day live in Heaven in the presence of God, or, we may interpret this phrase to mean that God will manifest Himself in every difficult situation that we face in this life.
Romans 5:1-2 Comments - A Description of our Relationship with the Father as Children of God Romans 5:1-2 describes the new-found relationship that every believer has with God as their Heavenly Father. They now call Him Father and walk with Him just as Jesus Christ walked with Him. Every believer has access to peace and the favor of God. It is important to note that this passage of Scripture is talking about a relationship with God, and when there is sin in our lives, it separates us from God, from this position of abiding in peace, and from His divine favor. This is why many believers are not able to endure tribulations, because they have lost that close relationship with their Heavenly Father and have not yielded themselves in order to enter back into that position of rest with God.
We confess the Word as a part of walking in faith. The fact is, we as believers have peace with God. Because we have peace with God, (1) we are able to find (receive) grace in His eyes, (2) we have a hope of God’s glory to be revealed in us and to us, and (3) we also boast in tribulations. This hope allows us to endure sorrow and pain differently from how the world deals with it (1 Thessalonians 4:13).
1 Thessalonians 4:13, “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.”
Illustration - One day in my Philosophy of Religion class in seminary, we were studying the problem of suffering and evil. We dealt with the question of why seemingly innocent people suffer. We saw a filmstrip entitled, “How Green Was My Valley” (1941).  It was a story about a little Welsh coal-mining village in the hills of Wales. One small coal mining family had a happy life. Through the years, one family member died, and others left for the United States to find work. The town was then torn apart by a worker's strike. After almost all of the children had either died, or grown up and left, the father died in a mine accident, leaving the fragment of a once happy family. The film ended in gloom. After class, I asked the Lord what it is in our Christian life that makes sorrow bearable. He spoke, quickly and clearly to my heart the word, “Hope!” Christians have hope. It had been such a dry sounding, hollow or empty word without much meaning in this movie; but this one word explains the difference between how we and a lost world face death and other of life’s tragedies. We must have our hope anchored in Jesus Christ. (5 April 1983)
 How Green Was My Valley, director by John Ford, 1941, 20 th Century Fox.
Romans 5:3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
Romans 5:3 “but we glory in tribulations” - Comments - An illustration of rejoicing in the midst of tribulations is found several times in Paul's second epistle to the Corinthians.
2 Corinthians 11:18, “Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also .”
2 Corinthians 12:8-10, “For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities , that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.”
Romans 5:3 “knowing that tribulation worketh patience” Comments - Patience is remaining the same in the midst of a storm. We stand upon God’s Word and refuse to compromise. It means that we can also take dominion over the devil and bind him from producing tribulation.
Romans 5:3 Comments - The KJV makes the reading of Romans 5:1-3 a little difficult in that it uses the same English word “glory” to translate two different Greek words. A better reading says that we “rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we rejoice in tribulations also.”
Romans 5:4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
Romans 5:4 Comments - The sequence of patience, experience and hope is explained clearer in Romans 8:25. We have to patiently wait for things which we hope for.
Romans 8:25, “But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.”
A good example of experience is when Abraham told his son Isaac that God Himself was able to provide a sacrifice, because he knew that God would raise Isaac from the dead, if need be, in order to fulfill His promise. Abraham had learned that God was faithful to fulfill His promises.
Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Romans 5:5 “And hope maketh not ashamed” - Comments - The hope that is within us causes us not to become disappointed or ashamed of our faith in God. Our hope keeps us from being discouraged, or tired and then giving up. We need much hope as the anchor of the soul (Hebrews 6:19). Our hope helps us to press on in the Christian life. Christian hope is not wishing that some future event might take place, but it is an eager, expected desire inside for a sure thing to happen. Hope is certain, no doubt involved (Romans 8:25).
Hebrews 6:19, “Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;”
Romans 8:25, “But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.”
When we hope in God, we are not shy and ashamed and unconfident about God working in our lives. We can speak confidently of God’s grace and sufficiency. We will not be ashamed or disappointed as those whose hope is deceptive or false. Our hope is certain. Why: because God has poured His Holy Spirit into us. His love is the evidence of His Spirit in us (John 13:35).
John 13:35, “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.”
Hope is what takes us through difficult times. When we place our hope in God, He never disappoints us. I learned years ago that there was no need to fear trials in life. For it was in the most difficult times of my Christian journey that I have experienced the most precious encounters with God. When our sufferings intensify, the presence of God becomes much more real in our lives, as it did in the life of Paul the apostle.
Illustration - Note an illustration in Isaiah 29:22 to Isaiah 30:5 of the despair of placing our hope in this world.
Isaiah 29:22, “Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.”
Isaiah 30:5, “They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.”
Scripture References - Note similar verses:
Psalms 22:5, “They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.”
Psalms 25:2, “O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.”
Psalms 71:1, “In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.”
Psalms 119:116, “Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.”
Proverbs 10:28, “The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.”
Isaiah 28:16, “Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.”
Romans 9:33, “As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.”
Romans 10:11, “For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.”
Philippians 1:20, “According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.”
1 Peter 2:6, “Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.”
Romans 5:5 “because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us” Comments - Why is love mentioned here? Because in a passage on hope, it is love that enables us to hope (1 Corinthians 13:7).
1 Corinthians 13:7, “Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things , endureth all things.”
When we study the book of Songs, which is a love story, we soon realize that it is the love of God that is continually being poured out in our hearts that enables us to love and serve Him. In this love story, which is figurative of Christ’s love for the world, and particularly for you and me, it is God’s love that serves as the “engine,” or driving force, that moves us towards our destiny of eternal rest. In Romans 5:5 Paul says, “because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” Within the context of Romans 5:1-5 he is explaining that it is God’s love being continually poured into our lives that strengthens us to rejoice in tribulations; it is God’s love that enables us to patiently endure those trials until we experience His grace and see His hand at work through us and amongst us; it is God’s love that gives us hope that the future will be brighter and anchors our souls to keep serving the Lord.
Paul the apostle will soon reveal his love and passion for his own people in Romans 9:1-3, which is the driving force the keeps him in the ministry as an apostle to the Gentiles. He talks about a love so deep that it causes a continual sorrow in his heart. This is not a natural level of love, but rather, it is the love of God that has been poured into his heart by the Holy Spirit. He has given himself as a living sacrifice upon God’s altar of divine service (Romans 12:1) in hopes that God will work mightily amongst his loved ones, the Jews. The heartbreak comes in his own life because the ones he so dearly loves are those who persecute him the most. When Paul wrote this letter he was on his way back to Jerusalem, and the Holy Spirit was bearing witness that persecutions awaited him there. He says, “And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.” (Acts 20:22-24)
Doctrinal Message: The Doctrine of Justification (An Exposition of The Gospel of Jesus Christ) In Romans 1:8 to Romans 11:36 Paul the apostle gives an exposition of the Gospel of Jesus Christ; but it is presented from the perspective of the office and ministry of God the Father as He makes a way of justifying mankind and bringing him into his eternal glory in Heaven. Thus, we can describe Romans 1:8 to Romans 11:36 as an exposition of the doctrine of justification through faith in Jesus Christ. The body of the epistle of Romans discusses God the Father’s method of justification for mankind (Romans 3:21 to Romans 8:16), while His predestination is emphasized in the introduction (Romans 1:1-7), His divine calling introduces this section of doctrine (Romans 1:8 to Romans 3:20), and His plan of glorification for the Church (Romans 8:17-28) and for Israel are given (Romans 9:1 to Romans 11:36) are given last.
In this grand exposition of the doctrine of justification through faith in Jesus Christ Paul uses a number of examples to explain God’s way of justifying mankind. For example, Abraham’s faith is used to explain how we also put our faith in Christ to be justified before God. The analogy of Adam being a type and figure of Christ is used to explain how divine grace takes effect in the life of the believer. He uses the example of the laws of slavery and freedmen to explain our need to walk in our new lives, no longer under the bondages of sin. The illustration of marriage and widowhood is used to explain how we are now free from the Law and bound to Christ. It is very likely that the Lord quickened these examples and analogies to Paul while he sought to understand and explain this doctrine of justification in the synagogues and to the Gentiles during his years of evangelism and church planting. So, when he sat down to write out an exposition of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Paul drew upon many of the examples that he had used over the years under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
Outline Here is a proposed outline:
1. The Calling of Gentiles Romans 1:8 to Romans 3:20
2. God’s Righteousness Revealed In Christ Romans 3:21 to Romans 8:16
3. Glorification by Divine Election: Glorification Romans 8:17-28
4. Summary of God’s Divine Plan of Redemption Romans 8:29-39
Why Righteousness Is Imputed - In Romans 5:1-21 Paul applies this principle of God imputing righteousness to the believer. He tells us to whom God imputes righteousness (for all of mankind in his depravity) (Romans 5:1-5), and why God imputes righteousness (because of His great love for us) (Romans 5:6-11), and how God imputes righteousness (through the obedience of one, many were made righteous) (Romans 5:12-21).
Romans 5:6 Comments When we were unable to redeem ourselves, weakened by sin, Jesus Christ came to redeem us.
Romans 5:7 Comments - The AmpBible says that it is extraordinary for a man to give his life for an upright man, but perhaps someone would be willing to give his life for this cause.
AmpBible, “Now it is an extraordinary thing for one to give his life even for an upright man, though perhaps for a noble and lovable and generous benefactor someone might even dare to die.”
Romans 5:7 gives us the image of a person struggling to have enough courage to give his own life for a person or a noble cause. This event happens quite frequently in societies through the course of history.
Romans 5:9 Comments - The demonstration of God’s love towards us through the blood sacrifice of His Son gives us hope of being saved from His divine wrath. Therefore, we can rejoice in full assurance of this hope about sharing in His eternal glory in Heaven, as stated in Romans 5:2.
Romans 5:2, “By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”
Romans 5:10 Comments - To be reconciled to God simply means that we become friends with again.
Romans 5:11 Word Study on “the atonement” Strong says the Greek word “atonement” ( καταλλαγή ) (G2643) means, “exchange, (fig. adjustment), i.e., restoration to (the divine) favor. Webster says the English word atonement means, “ restoration of friendly relations. ” Thayer says it refers to “the restoration of the favour of God to sinners that repent and trust in Jesus.”
How Righteousness Is Imputed In Romans 5:1-21 Paul applies this principle of God imputing righteousness to the believer. He tells us to whom God imputes righteousness (Romans 5:1-5), and why God imputes righteousness (because of His great love for us) (Romans 5:6-11), and how God imputes righteousness (through the obedience of one, many were made righteous) (Romans 5:12-21). This passage of Scripture contrasts Adam with Jesus in order to explain how God imputes righteousness to us. Paul makes the claim that sin entered the world by one man, bringing death upon all of humanity (Romans 5:12). He then supports his claim with a number of arguments (Romans 5:13-17): (1) Adam was from one offence unto many deaths; Jesus was from grace unto many gift of eternal life, (2) Adam was from judgment to condemnation; Jesus was from righteousness to justification, (3) Adam was from one disobedience unto many sinners; Jesus was from one obedience unto many righteous. Paul concludes with the statement that eternal life through God’s grace is now available to all of mankind through faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 5:18-21).
Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Romans 5:12 Comments Sin entered the world through one man, the man Adam. Although the woman took the forbidden fruit first, the man took the responsibility of this sin.
Sin is like leaven in that it permeates everything it touches. When Adam sinned, he allowed sin to enter into the world and defile everything under its influence. Sin entered into every human being. We were in the loins of Adam when he sinned we partook of that sin and became sinful in the same way that Levi paid tithes “in Abraham” (Hebrews 7:9-10).
Hebrews 7:9-10, “And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, paid tithes in Abraham. For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.”
Romans 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
Romans 5:13 Comments - When there is no law, there is no transgression of the law. For example, a person cannot break the speed limit in his car when there are no speed limits. He may be endangering himself and others by speeding, but he is not breaking the law. Prior to the institution of the Law of Moses, God did not judge individuals for their sins, although He did judge corporately, as with the Flood and Sodom and Gomorrah. For example, God did not judge Cain for murdering Abel. However, under the Law each sin was imputed upon an individual, so that he had to remember each one and prepare the proper sacrifice. This caused those under the Law to become sin-conscience as they always trying to remember their sins so that they did not violate the Law and come under the curses of the Law.
The effects of sin were still reigning over mankind from the time of Adam to Moses, and death was the manifestation of man’s sinful nature; but individuals did not have to become conscience of their sins as those under the Law. This means that God will impute different levels of judgment on Judgment Day simply because we are now more accountable to God than those who lived in ignorance (Acts 17:30). We see a reference to various levels of accountability and judgment in Matthew 11:24:
Acts 17:30, “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:”
Matthew 11:24, “But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.”
Romans 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
Romans 5:14 “who is the figure of him that was to come” - Comments - Jesus is called the “last Adam” in 1 Corinthians 15:45. The phrase “the last Adam” means that there will never been the need for an additional redemption for mankind. Christ’s work on Calvary was total and complete for man’s eternal redemption. Otherwise, Jesus would have been called the “second Adam”, and others would have followed in order to complete our redemption. But Jesus’ death and resurrection completed our redemption. There will be no other types of Adam.
1 Corinthians 15:45, “And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.”
Romans 5:14 Comments - Death was the manifestation of man’s sinful nature, even though man had no law to reveal or define his sin. The moment the Law came, man’s sin nature was magnified.
Romans 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
Romans 5:16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
Romans 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
Romans 5:17 Comments - Just as the sin of Adam brought us into bondage to poverty, disease, lack and fear, so did the obedience of one man, Jesus Christ, bring us into health, prosperity and an abundance of joy. We now reign as kings in this life, having been given authority over the elements of this world. God created this earth to be subject to man and through Christ Jesus this is now so. We are now children of God, heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ Jesus, seated with Him at the right hand of the Father far above “all principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Ephesians 6:12)
Ephesians 6:12, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
In fact, everything that Jesus Christ placed under His feet during His earthly ministry is also under our dominion and we can walk in the same authority that Jesus walked through faith in His name. He was teaching His disciples to so do by sending them out to minister in His name by twos.
Romans 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
Romans 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Romans 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
Romans 5:20 Comments - The Law was given in order to manifest our sins. This should lead us to repentance and faith in God (Galatians 3:19).
Galatians 3:19, “ Wherefore then serveth the law ? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.”

RICHMOND Wellbeing have literally nailed their colours to their mast to show their support for the LGBTIQ community.
The non-profit organisation are now permanently flying a rainbow flag outside their Cannington office to show its commitment and support for people who identify as LGBTIQ.
Chief executive officer Neil Guard said the mental health organisation would focus on better responding to the community’s specific needs.
“The research clearly shows poorer mental health outcomes for LGBTIQ communities are directly related to the psychological distress that can occur as a result of experiences of stigma, prejudice, discrimination, abuse and exclusion in relation to their identity, experience or history,” he said.
“Richmond Wellbeing has committed itself to providing a more LGBTIQ inclusive approach to address the heightened risk factors of poor mental health, including suicide.
“This is what all service providers and the community need to be striving for, not simply being satisfied with an absence of discrimination.”

The contrasting textures of crunchy broccoli and creamy, soft avocado make this quick salad interesting and delicious. It is rich in monounsaturated fat and full of protective phytochemicals and fiber. Don't forget to use the broccoli stems, which, if properly trimmed, are as good to eat as the florets. Cut a slice off the butt end of each large stalk and peel the stalks just below the outer fibrous layer to expose the tender, lighter-colored flesh within.
1 pound broccoli
1 ripe avocado
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon grainy prepared mustard
- Trim and wash the broccoli and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Steam or boil the broccoli in a large pot until it is just crunchy-tender and bright green, then drain it well, and cool.
- Peel and pit the avocado, then cut it into small cubes. Fold the avocado into the broccoli.
- Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, and mustard together in a small bowl, until well mixed.
- Toss the broccoli and avocado with the dressing.

The flexible design of a Mode 5 octave marimba creates strength in the same way a tree, a bridge, a parking garage, a high rise building or an airplane wing does, by allowing for sway. They all sway. The fundamental design of the Mode 5 incorporates flexibility vs. traditional, more rigid designs. This is critically important in moving the assembled instrument across a variety of surfaces: from the car, field, stage, gig, or any performance.
Traditional more rigid designs have many assembled components, parts, nut, bolts, rivets, etc. that may loosen over time. We permanently bond components wherever possible and hold sub-assemblies together with either the tension of gravity or elastomeric tension.
The Mode 5 is the only five octave marimba is able to roll through a standard 32” wide ADA door without disassembling the frame.
It’s weatherproof. There are no adverse affects from temperature or humidity variation, and rain will not ruin this instrument.
Modular design packs in more places with no large assemblies (fits in a Prius).
Easily transported and setup by one person.

Donald Treadgold was once some of the most uncommon Russian historians of his new release. His 20th Century Russia, a regular textual content in faculties and universities for numerous many years, has been frequently revised and accelerated to mirror new occasions and scholarship. the current revision, by way of Professor Herbert Ellison, incorporates a significant bankruptcy at the Yeltsin period, and brings the Russian tale to the ultimate 12 months of the century.Twice within the 20th century the cave in of the Russian kingdom and empire has been through an attempt to construct a democracy at the Western version. the 1st attempt succumbed inside a couple of months to Lenin’s communist revolution, whose rules and associations ruled the background of Russia, and at last a lot of the area, throughout the succeeding seventy-four years. In August 1991, an test via Soviet leaders to suppress democratic and nationalist pursuits unleashed through the Gorbachev reforms, and already effective in jap Europe, brought about as a substitute an anti-communist revolution lower than the management of Boris Yeltsin.The revolution, and the sweeping transformation that undefined, are taken care of within the re-creation, which assesses the goals and scope of the 1st decade of Russia’s moment revolution. The transformation incorporated a brand new constitutional constitution, totally democratic parliamentary elections and a presidential election (with one other of every quickly to come), a full of life revival of political events and political debate, and significant questions on Russia’s political destiny. opposed to the wide heritage of the Russian event over a turbulent century, it increases the most important questions: What are the customers for Russian democracy? Why are the communists, following an anti-communist revolution, the main strong parliamentary occasion in Russia’s new parliament, and what's their influence? Why has the conversion to a industry financial system proved so tough and painful, and what are its clients? How has Russia relating to the recent states that have been as soon as fellow republics of the USSR? Why has the overseas coverage of the recent Russian democracy moved from a imaginative and prescient of partnership with the united states to a truth of clash and confrontation?Twentieth Century Russia poses those questions, and plenty of extra, for the scholar and the final reader alike, opposed to the interesting heritage of Russia’s adventure sooner than, in the course of and because the period of communist rule, exploring the roots of present advancements within the communist and pre-communist prior.

Introduce White Kitchen Cabinets Into Elegant Cooking Spaces
The vaulted white ceiling serves as the perfect backdrop for the elegant white kitchen cabinets, which are paired with alluring white marble countertops. The tile backsplash, featuring a mosaic flair, and the upper cupboard with arched glass doors seamlessly integrate with the luxury kitchen cabinets, further enhancing the kitchen’s refined look. The marble countertop of the white kitchen island is particularly noteworthy, with its subtle veining adding a touch of elegance to the space. Several dark wood barstools provide a striking contrast to the predominantly white color scheme, allowing a slightly clever twist. The beautiful black arched floor-to-ceiling windows not only bring in abundant natural light but also transform the kitchen into a breathtaking picture, both from the inside and outside.
