He speaks and writes clearly, making Sharing Your Faith a quick read. Implementing the process of evangelism described in the book will take longer.
I recommend this as a book to turn to again and again. The typeface is fresh like the writing in the book. This is Basic Evangelism 101 (or Tripos Part I) that Green sets forth in a postmodern context.
My main criticism of the book is that if you really have doubts about Christianity you will have a very difficult time getting rid of them by reading this book. Some people don't evangelize because they are not 100% convinced of Biblical truths or they don't really feel Christianity is essential to their lives.
Green's Facts may indeed be questionable for some skeptics. For example, the Fact of Design - "There is abundant evidence of intelligent design in our world. It is even more apparent in nature than in the artifacts that intelligent human beings design. Why? Because 'the heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork' Psalm 19:1". I don't believe the majority of people think that the world is designed - some of it has evolved - some is the result of random events - some has geological causes.
The main processes described for Sharing Your Faith are:
1. Getting Motivated - essential for any endeavor
2. Building Bridges - a postmodern way to communicate
3. Starting the Conversation - essential for meaningful dialog
4. Knowing the Good News - do your homework, be prepared
5. Becoming the Midwife - ultimately God does the real work
6. Handling the Responses - this chapter needs more depth
7. Offering the Aftercare - Green says emphasize this more
8. Avoiding the Mistakes - based on Green's lifetime experience
9. God the Evangelist - don't leave God out!
Many could have written this book - but Green's wealth of experience from real world evangelism over decades, with leading intellectuals and bright minds, are what differentiate this book and make it worth reading.
Pray for lots of faith to benefit from this book. If you have it then you will find the book is full of pragmatic ideas for sharing the Christian gospel with friends, family and coworkers.
Each chapter has questions for discussion that would make this a fine book for a Bible Study or Christian discussion group. It is an excellent book for those leaving the cocoon of a university Christian fellowship and embarking on a career who are anxious to promote Christianity among their friends. It is also useful for those from non-Christian backgrounds who have become Christians and want to share their faiths with their relatives.
I wouldn't recommend this book for non-Christian book circles as it assumes too much belief in Christianity on the part of the reader.
This is classic Michael Green - popular Christian writing with an edge that urges you to action.

PONTIANAK, WEST KALIMANTAN: The residents of Siantan Tengah in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, can now count on a regular supply of potable water after a new water purifying installation came on line, Jakarta Post reported.
The installation, which can produce 8,000 liters of clean water a day, was built by Wahana Visi Indonesia (WVI) and 20 Japanese companies for Rp 500 million (US$53,000).
WVI turned the facility over to the Cahaya Maju Reliant Community Group at a ceremony on July 17 in Pontinanak attended by Mayor Sutarmidji.
Sutarmidji said that he hoped the facility would be managed carefully to promote healthy living.
“The city administration strives to continue improving its sanitation program. I hope this [facility]will become an example in the production of clean water for other areas,” Sutarmidji said.
WVI general manager Emilia K. Sitompul said that for years the residents of Siantan Tengah who were unable to buy clean water collected rainfall or used water from gutters that had been contaminated by
“This has caused outbreaks of several diseases, like diarrhea, skin infections and dengue fever among the residents,” Sitompul said.
Tsuneji Suzuki, the president director of Yamaha Indonesia Motor Manufacturing, one of the corporate sponsors of the installation, told people at the ceremony that the plant would be easy to operate.
“We’ve trained members of the Cahaya Maju group on how to operate and maintain the machine,”
Meanwhile, Djoni Paryadi, a representative of the firm’s Jakarta office, said that the facility could make potable water from almost any type of water.
“All the processes are done without any chemical substances except chlorine, which has been used as consumers have not yet been used to using sterile containers,”
Residents would have to go to a central tank to obtain potable water from the facility; direct pipelines were not part of the project,
Kristinus Runtung of the West Kalimantan Public Works Agency said that the agency took part in the installation of the facility by providing data and preparing a plot of land for the plant through a community-based planning.
WVI Pontianak manager Amron Gultom said that his office would continue to provide assistance to the local community to enable them to manage the facility sustainably.

Richard Batty, investment director at Standard Life, believes it is better to add risk to portfolios through exposure to US high yield, rather than US equities, as the risk-return profile is more favourable.
Batty works for the idea generation team for the strategic investment group which manages absolute return funds, including the the £10 billion Standard Life Investment Global Absolute Return Strategies fund.
Speaking at the Cofunds Economic forum in London last week, Batty said: “The risk premium in equities is quite high and you can argue you get paid for taking on this risk. If you look at high yield bonds, they are highly correlated with equities, but they have a third of equity beta, which means they will fall less when the market falls. “
Batty adds that in a difficult macroeconomic environment, you may not get returns from equities, making an 8% starting point for high yield a useful asset to have.
He said: “High yield is a lot lower risk and has a higher yield than equities. If US high yield delivers 8% and US equities yield 2.5%, then you are going to be further ahead even if nothing happens. Also, in this environment, I expect equities to remain volatile.”
In the £10 billion Standard Life Investment Global Absolute Return Strategies fund, the fund’s exposure to high yield includes the Standard Life Global High Yield fund and derivative exposure to high yield.

RIDGEFIELD — The Ridgefield Raptors are confident bunch right now. And it just seems like the breaks have been falling their way this summer.
“Ah, It’s baseball,” right field Trent Prokes said. “You’ve got to expect everything.”
Nick Seamons turned a misplayed fly ball to right into a one-out triple, then Prokes followed with a sharp single to right to score Seamons, sending the Raptors a 5-4 win over the Bellingham Bells in 11 innings Sunday at the Ridgefield Outdoor Recreation Center.
Bellingham right fielder Max Hartman fought the sun to make the first out of the 11th inning on a fly ball off the bat of Jackson Nicklaus.
Seamons followed with a similar fly ball to right along the foul line. But this time, the ball fell untouched and Seamons hustled his way to third base.
That set the stage for Prokes against a drawn-in infield. He connected on a 2-1 pitch.
“I was just looking to hit the ball anywhere, put it in play and score the run,” Prokes said. “We had a runner on third with one out. I had to do something.”
The RBI single completed a 3-for-4 game for Prokes.
“I felt really good today,” Prokes said. “I felt really relaxed in the box, confident that everything was there. I was just trying to make the best of it.”
The win completed a three-game sweep for the Raptors in a weekend matchup of the first-half champions of the West Coast League’s Southern and Northern Divisions.
After a day off Monday, the two teams will meet again for three games in Bellingham starting Tuesday.
Prokes helped the Raptors rally from a 4-2 deficit in the eighth inning when he drove in Seamons with an RBI double then later scored on Jake Tsukada’s sacrifice fly.
The Raptors had a chance to take the lead in the eighth when they had the bases loaded with one out. But Tristan Gomes popped out to shallow left field and Corey Nunez struck out looking.
Jake Tsukada hustled his way the Raptors’ second run in the fifth, when he beat out an infield single, stole second, took third on a wild pitch then scored when the throw to third went into left field.
Trent Prokes — The right fielder from Modesto Junior College went 3 for 4 with a run, double, two RBI and two walks.
Jake Tsukada — The third basemen from Hawaii went 3 for 5 with a run, RBI and two stolen bases.
Sawyer Allen — After allowing an unearned run in the eighth inning on a two-out error, Allen kept the Bells quiet in the ninth and 10th innings to keep the Raptors in the game.
4 — Strikeouts recorded in three innings by Heritage graduate Eastyn Culp for the Raptors.
4 — Stolen bases recorded by the Raptors — two by Tsukada and one each from Nunez and Jackson Nicklaus.
4-2 — Record of the Raptors on the homestand. The Raptors return home next week to host the Yakima Valley Pippins.

By VICTOR E. SASSON
It was bad enough when The Record failed to label a taxpayer-funded report on the George Washington Bridge lane-closing scandal as a "cover-up" or "whitewash."
But it got worse -- clear evidence Governor Christie owns the editors at the Woodland Park daily after squandering $8 million so far to conceal his role in the despicable affair.
After Christie's $650-an-hour lawyer released the report clearing the GOP bully, the editors kept on referring to it on equal terms with a federal criminal probe and the state Legislature's own investigation.
In fact, on Dec. 9, Columnist Charles Stile, one of the paper's leading Christie apologists, claimed on A-1 the law firm's probe is one of three that didn't find "a shred of evidence" Christie knew about the lane closures.
This despite a federal indictment listing "unindicted co-conspirators" who haven't been identified.
Now, a federal judge has denounced the Gibson Dunn law firm for "gamesmanship" by destroying interview notes sought by defense attorneys for former Christie aides Bridget Anne Kelly and Bill Baroni, who are awaiting an April trial (A-1).
Kelly's lawyer, Michael Critchley, said the way Christie lawyer Randy Mastro conducted interviews was "akin to a deliberate flimflam" (A-8).
Today's story also contains another reference to Gibson Dunn partner Debra Wong Yang, who worked on the firm's bridge-scandal report, as one of Christie's fundraisers in his bid for the White House (A-8).
Yet, The Record has never reported the close personal and business relationship between the Borg publishing family and Jon F. Hanson, the real estate mogul who was chief fundraiser during Christie's two gubernatorial campaigns.
|Real estate mogul Jon F. Hanson with Governor Christie in an Associated Press photo. Has Hanson's relationship with the Borg family, owner of North Jersey Media Group and The Record, influenced news coverage of Christie?|
When she was Republican governor of New Jersey, Christie Whitman raided state pension systems to balance her budgets, made deep cuts at the state Department of Environmental Protection and received a big tax break on the "farm" she claimed to live on.
Now, she finally has acquitted herself (A-1).
Whitman is denouncing GOP candidates, especially Donald Trump for "employing the kind of hateful rhetoric ... in much the same way that allowed Hitler and Mussolini to rise to power" (A-1).
Still, Whitman doesn't comment on Christie's anti-Syrian refugee stance, though she concedes the GOP bully "has assumed a harsher tone lately" (A-12).
Route 17 'deathway'
Also on Page 1 today, a photo shows the parents of Waldwick Police Officer Christopher Goodell, 32, unveiling a sign that will rename a section of Route 17 for their son, who was killed on the highway in 2014 by an out-of-control tractor-trailer (A-1).
Instead of "Poice Officer Christopher Goodell Memorial Highway," the sign should read, "Memorial Deathway."
The Record's lazy, incompetent staff -- including head Assignment Editor Deirdre Sykes and Road Warrior John Cichowski -- still have not questioned why Goodell was put in harm's way when a speed camera could have done the job just as well.
In his column today, Cichowski mentions Vincent Brock as one of an "elite group of fallen police officers" whose names appear on highway plaques (L-1).
Brock, a Paramus police officer, was killed after his car spun out of control on Nov. 22, 1993, and hit a utility pole while responding to a report of a shooting that turned out to be false.
Brock's fatal crash was attributed to a defect in the power steering of his Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, and he was among a number of officers who died in accidents or gas-tank explosions in the cruiser, which went out of production in 2011.
Yet, The Record and Cichowski have never explained why local police departments and state police continued to buy the Ford cruiser long after the safety defects surfaced.

RANKL exists as a homotrimer, is glycosylated, and occurs in 3 forms: cell-bound RANKL, which is expressed by osteoblast lineage cells, soluble RANKL (sRANKL), which is expressed by activated T lymphocytes, and a truncated ectodomain form derived from the cell-bound RANK Ligand, which is enzymatically processed by TACE (TNF-alpha converting enzyme (TACE; ADAM-17)). All three forms stimulate their specific receptor, RANK, which is located on osteoclastic and dendritic cells. RANKL binds to TNFRSF11B/OPG and to TNFRSF11A/RANK. RANKL augments the ability of dendritic cells to stimulate naive T-cell proliferation. It may be an important regulator of interactions between T-cells and dendritic cells and may play a role in the regulation of the T-cell-dependent immune response. It may also play an important role in enhanced bone-resorption in humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy. Deficiency in Tnfsf11 results in failure to form lobulo-alveolar mammary structures during pregnancy, resulting in death of newborns. Trance-deficient mice show severe osteopetrosis. RANKL is highly expressed in thymus and lymph nodes, but not in non-lymphoid tissues and is abundantly expressed in T-cells but not in B-cells. A high level expression is also seen in the trabecular bone and lung. Recombinant Mouse soluble RANKL is approximately 19.9 kDa and contains 174 amino acids.

5 Things You Must Know While Choosing The Best Motherboard Under $200
1. Know The Socket Type
Motherboards under $200 manufactured in 2013 are mainly compatible with CPUs of socket type 1150. Before buying one, ensure to check your CPU model number and buy a motherboard accordingly. For example, suppose you own Intel Core i7-3770 Processor. In that case, it will be compatible only with motherboards manufactured for socket type 1155, while Intel Core i3 3220 can work perfectly fine on a motherboard compatible with both types 1150 and 1155 sockets.
You must also know that CPU compatibility is not necessary when the same company like Intel manufactures all three components (CPU, Motherboard, RAM) because they usually design their products keeping other’s hardware in mind too. This compatibility cannot be said about other manufacturers like ASUS, Gigabyte, and ASRock as they do not collaborate with other companies for making hardware components.
2. Know Your RAM Type
Don’trboards are manufactured by the memory modules used by various CPU models, so you must be sure what RAM your motherboard will support before buying it. EnsurDon’t ever buy a motherboard compatible with one type of RAM (let’s say DDR3) and try to install another (DDR4)E. to check your system requirements carefully because even if your processors and motherboards are compatible, upgrading them will cause problems sometimes.
For example, Intel Core i7-4770 Processor supports two types of RAMs that is DDR3 & DDR3L, while chipsets manufactured by Intel for socket type 1150 support DDR3 DDR3L DDR4 types of RAMs.
3. Know Your PCI Slots
While buying a motherboard under $200, you must have a clear idea about which components require an expansion slot. The essential requirement for any computer is a graphics card. In contrast, other components like sound cards, TV tuners, or wireless USB adapters can be connected through USB ports, too, if your motherboard supports that feature. In addition to the standard PCI slots, there are also PCIe (graphics card), MIO (audio card), and mini-PCI (wireless / Bluetooth) slots available on some motherboards out there–ensure to check them before buying one because not all of them will work with your system.
4. Know The Board’s Chipset
Many companies manufacture chipsets for motherboards before using them on their models. Still, it is essential to know your motherboard’s chipset before buying one because some old processors work only with specific chipsets and vice versa. For example, Intel Core i3-3220 Processor works perfectly fine with H61 Chipset manufactured by Intel while the same processor will give you problems if you try to install it on an incompatible chipset like Z77, which has a different interface type; thus resulting in incompatibility issues sometimes (especially when updating drivers and BIOS) and makes your whole system unstable as well as slow down PC occasionally. You can find chipset information on our motherboard’s memory slots or backside (or inside BIOS settings under the Motherboard tab).
5. Know The Drivers
Updating your motherboard’s drivers is necessary because some system components like sound cards and graphics cards require them to work on your PC smoothly. In contrast, LAN port or WiFi can’t be used without an updated driver that sometimes fixes compatibility issues. So it is essential to update the drivers of all components regularly while using Windows 10, 8, 7, or XP because these operating systems automatically detect and install new drivers for motherboards and other components while creating backup files. Hence, you need not worry about losing data if things go wrong. You can easily find out how to update motherboards drivers using Google and type: [motherboard model name] download drivers.

BEST AND SPECIAL STUFFING BALLS
You’ll want to save this one for the upcoming holidays!
“This is an heirloom recipe made by many members of my family. It can be made ahead of the holidays and the balls frozen. One less job at the end. We always formed the stuffing into balls so they were easy to serve individually, easy to grab a cold stuffing ball as leftovers. My Grandma made extra to freeze and use for stuffed chicken breasts later. Grandma always said to try and get a little bit (a speck) of poultry seasoning on each piece of bread. If you like to stuff a bird with it, just place the stuffing balls in the cavity loosely.” ~charlie #5

For Officer Jeff Gonzalez, it was just like any other day on the job.
He was patrolling through Germantown, Wisconsin, a mostly peaceful place, where crime isn’t necessarily a big problem.
But just when Gonzalez was starting to get a big bored, something odd caught his attention along County Line Road…
Nothing “explosive” or dangerous, per se…just something odd. Whatever it was, it was strange enough to make Gonzalez perk up and take a closer look.
And what did he find?
A lone black dog alongside the road, barking and darting about frantically, as if he was trying to tell the police officer something. In fact, he was trying to get anybody’s attention!
But there wasn’t anyone around to listen and Officer Gonzalez figured the dog needed urgent assistance, so the cop pulled over and stepped out of his cruiser.
That’s when the dog, whose name was John Boy, increased his antics and started bouncing away from the officer, as if to say, “Follow me, follow me!”
And so, the increasingly curious officer did exactly that: He followed the agitated pooch up to the front porch of a house.
And that’s when the policeman realized that John Boy was a real-life Lassie…and he was facing a real emergency!
John Boy’s owner was sitting in a chair, slumped over and unresponsive.
Gonzalez believes the woman had been in the chair for almost an hour with temperatures hovering about 3 degrees.
“To be honest with you, I thought she was dead,” Gonzalez told a local TV station.
“And when I went up, she was very cold to the touch; her lips were blue.
But I was able to determine she was breathing and had a pulse.
I called for assistance, and my partner was close. So together we got her in the house.”
Sitting idle for an extended time in such cold temperatures can kill a person, so this woman was VERY fortunate she was found!
Doctors at the emergency room discovered the woman had a heart condition, but said she would be fine after the close call.
Her daughter, Tianne Wendt, burst into tears after finding out what happened.
“It was a miracle,” said Tianne. “My mom had two angels save her that day.”
One of those angels is John Boy; the Labrador Retriever is in fact a rescue dog!
Surprisingly, John Boy had struggled to find a proper home. Three other people owned him and didn’t stick before he found his forever home.
Oh, he found it all right, and he repaid the favor!
As for officer Gonzalez, he is appropriately being heralded as a hero for his efforts to save the woman.
However, he quickly brushes off such praise and says John Boy deserves the credit for his determination and loyalty.
The angels sent to save the day here prove regular people, and loving and faithful pets, can be a blessing to those in need!

The West Virginia Oral Health Initiative began in 2008 and is anchored in improving the oral health status of West Virginia residents through public awareness, provider training, dental screenings, and access to dental care. The initiative began in 2008 and is anchored in improving the oral health status of West Virginia residents through public awareness, provider training, dental screenings, and access to dental care.
In March 2015, leaders of the initiative and representatives of The Benedum Foundation gathered to discuss lessons learned, the road ahead, and how both parties could improve their effectiveness. What we know is that successful collaboratives are about leveraging resources, knowledge and collective will to achieve an end…with the good fortune of timing, funding and leadership urging them onward. The West Virginia Oral Health Initiative is an example of that formula. It also provides fruitful ground to examine the expansive role of The Benedum Foundation in launching this statewide effort, guiding the work, and positioning the initiative for support by other funders.
This report is part of a series of 21 state and regional studies examining the rollout of the ACA. The national network -- with 36 states and 61 researchers -- is led by the Rockefeller Institute of Government, the public policy research arm of the State University of New York, the Brookings Institution, and the Fels Institute of Government at the University of Pennsylvania.
As noted throughout this report, West Virginia's experience is a tale of two reforms or experiences. The state has adopted a hands-off, but nonhostile, posture toward the health insurance exchange. Unique policy and political dynamics contributed to the state first embracing the concept of its own exchange and then moving toward a very passive role in a state-federal partnership. In contrast, the state has been proactive in reaching out and enrolling those newly eligible under Medicaid expansion. As ACA implementation gains traction and best practices are discovered and shared, West Virginia's aggressive approach of utilizing SNAP enrollment lists as a means of reaching potential Medicaid applicants may be one of those stories that come to the fore.

December 1, 2000
By Alton K. Marsh
Thanks to a landing in the year 2000 that was so bad it ripped a hole in the time continuum, I have bounced into December 2005. The aircraft I was flying is still in good shape, but no one here wants to fly it. They call it an antique.
While trying to think of a way to get back to 2000 (another bad landing isn't a good idea), I decided to let you know what the general aviation aircraft of 2005 are like. Sixty months isn't a long time, but there has been a lot of progress. I was able to get this article back to your time by simply backdating an e-mail.
Before the big bounce, I had just interviewed officials of The New Piper Aircraft, Raytheon Aircraft, and Cessna Aircraft at the National Business Aviation Association convention in New Orleans in October 2000. Luckily, the notes from those interviews were in the plane. From what I see now, those executives were right. In a minute I will tell you about the future of those and other companies.
But the real revolution wasn't in the airframe—it was in the avionics. Just before my untimely departure from 2000 I also talked to Gerry Block, the forward-looking president of Sandel Avionics. I can still recall his words, mainly because I taped them: "I think that the GA cockpit is going to be more advanced than the airliner cockpit in five years," Block said. Boy, was he right. Today's GA cockpit is more modern than the advanced Lancair Columbia cockpits of your time. "If you have seen a Boeing 777 cockpit, GA avionics are going to look like that, because it is cheaper to build the cockpit that way than it is to build individual instruments," Block said. Here in my time, a glass cockpit that integrates every instrument in the cockpit costs about $20,000. Sandel screens are much larger now, by the way, than those seen in 2000 for the company's electronic HSI and terrain-warning products. But the screens remained smallish at first in order to be retrofitted into the available space on the older GA aircraft. Retrofitting was expensive, but the gains in safety overrode cost concerns.
As Piper officials predicted then, the Cherokee production line of aircraft ended after a successful 42-year run. After forming a committee in 2000 to evaluate all future technologies, Piper revamped its line of single-engine aircraft in 2003. Cabins are now six inches larger both vertically and horizontally. But the important change came in the way the aircraft are manufactured. They had too many parts, and that made them labor-intensive and thus expensive not only to manufacture, but to maintain. Use of new manufacturing techniques has dramatically reduced the parts count.
Cessna decided not to change the way its popular aircraft look, but announced in 2004 an enormous change in avionics for single-engine aircraft. Glass-cockpit technology previously seen only in business and airline jets is now in the Cessna single-engine line. The screens simply plug into the panel—there is no wiring. Gone are the engine instruments and separate navigation instruments. Everything is integrated into one display. If something goes wrong, such as oil pressure, you'll be told about it via a warning message. Otherwise, there's no need to worry.
Despite rumors in 1999 that Raytheon Aircraft would stop the Bonanza line, the popular A36 and Baron models continue to be manufactured in 2005. In fact, had you looked in 2000, you would have seen that the Raytheon strategic plan clearly called for continuation of the piston-engine models. Like Cessna's, however, the avionics have been upgraded.
Interestingly, we here in 2005 soon will be able to buy a new Toyota single-engine airplane. A Beech executive said in 2000 that "Toyota is in, and we all ought to be scared." He was right, but few heeded his warning. After all, Toyota tested the water throughout the mid-1990s with an engine manufacturing project, and decided that the water was too cold. The company chickened out. So it isn't surprising that many doubted Toyota would actually offer two single-engine aircraft to the market. Toyota was waiting on the NASA-sponsored general aviation research programs to produce some results, and then to take advantage of them. That plan appears to be on schedule, and the Japanese are already flying a prototype for one of the models.
Cirrus Design and Lancair, of course, already had futuristic aircraft in 2000. For them, leaping into the future still required making an avionics upgrade, but their panels already accommodated the large viewing screens that we have now.
I should have seen it coming. All the pieces of the modern puzzle were there in early 2000 when this "Future Flight" series began; the only thing misreported was the timing. In January 2000 I predicted technologies that seemed years if not decades off, but by April aviation manufacturers were already delivering most of the products predicted. The "Future Flight" series then became more of a monthly product review. A few futuristic products that were on the market were just overlooked in that first article. Sierra Flight Systems, for example, was already offering to the experimental aircraft community a multifunction screen that could show thousands of "highway in the sky" approaches. Of course, some thought in 2000 that highway in the sky was nothing more than a glorified flight director back then, and we in 2005 do not use the concept as originally planned. The future arrived faster than predicted, like the faster desktop computer that comes out while you are making credit card payments on the present one.
Many of the advances came from research supported by former NASA Administrator Dan Goldin. He founded the AGATE, GAP, and SATS programs in the 1990s that, with industry partners, spurred general aviation's progress. AGATE, as many of you in 2000 know, stands for Advanced General Aviation Transport Experiments. The program included the development of affordable composite airframes, quiet propellers, and integrated flight systems, among other goals.
GAP refers to the General Aviation Propulsion program, meaning the development of a Jet-A-fueled diesel engine. Its goals were to develop a two-stroke, 200-horsepower engine that costs half the price of a conventional piston engine and incorporates single-level engine controls with electronic diagnostics. While NASA's industry partners in the program—Continental Motors, Cirrus Design, Hartzell Propeller, Lancair and Mod Works—met their goals back in 2003 and can demonstrate improvements over conventional engines, the airframe companies have been slow to use diesels. Recertification costs are the main reason. There are no diesels flying on production aircraft here in 2005, except for the British-developed Wilksch Airmotive engine, but that could change in two to three years.
There's been no lag in the development of the NASA-supported mini-jet engines, however, and baby business jets are pouring off the production lines. The Eclipse is now flying, although certification cost more and took longer than expected.
Now we are looking forward to the results of the SATS program, standing for Small Aircraft Transportation System. SATS makes use of AGATE technology to develop automated and fast aircraft that can substitute for airline service for isolated communities. SATS aircraft are expected to make flying as simple as getting in, closing the door, and saying "Detroit" to the computer. The aircraft taxies, takes off, navigates, and makes a fully automated landing in Detroit. Even the airframe manufacturers agreed back in 2000 that the goal is achievable, but not before 2025. However, a NASA-designed prototype could fly as early as 2007.
By the way, all this technology has had two directly opposite effects on the pilot population. The average pilot, who in 2000 was 52 years of age, put a scare into avionics manufacturers by resisting some of the new computer-driven gadgets, such as electronic engine diagnostics. They wanted the details on oil temperature and pressure, for example, to appear constantly before them on separate steam gauges. But the younger pilots, knowing only the glass cockpits of today, have flooded the pilot schools. The pilot population of more than 600,000 in 2000 is now headed for an estimated one million pilots. AOPA's membership has grown to 500,000, and the average pilot age is now 40 and dropping. Flying is now taught at some of the larger high schools, and the prediction is that pilot training will become as common as driver's education in 25 years.
None of this addresses my personal problem, that unlike Michael J. Fox—who could easily pass from present to past to future aboard a DeLorean car built in the 1980s—I am stuck in the future. I tried shipping myself back to 2000 in a backdated UPS box, but it didn't work. Here in 2005 I fly aircraft with cockpit screens that overlay weather along my route, show other traffic around me, automatically fly GPS approaches, and even deliver my e-mail. Come to think of it, why would I ever want to leave? Send me an e-mail, but remember to forward-date it.

Types of Research
Common estimates of agricultural productivity rely upon crude measures of crop yield, typically defined as the weight harvested of a crop divided by the area harvested. But this common yield measure poorly reflects performance among farm systems combining multiple crops in one area (e.g., intercropping), and also ignores the possibility that farmers might lose crop area between planting and harvest (e.g., partial crop failure). Drawing on detailed plot-level data from Tanzania’s National Panel Survey, our research contrasts measures of smallholder productivity using production per hectare harvested and production per hectare planted.
An initial analysis (Research Brief - Rice Productivity Measurement) looking at rice production finds that yield by area planted differs significantly from yield by area harvested, particularly for smaller farms and female-headed households. OLS regression further reveals different demographic and management-related drivers of variability in yield gains – and thus different implications for policy and development interventions – depending on the yield measurement used. Findings suggest a need to better specify “yield” to more effectively guide agricultural development efforts.
A farmer’s decision of how much land to dedicate to each crop reflects their farming options at the extensive and intensive margins. The extensive margin represents the total amount of agricultural land area that a farmer has available in a given year (referred to interchangeably as ‘farm size’ or ‘agricultural land’). A farmer increases land use on the extensive margin by planting on new agricultural land. The intensive margin represents area planted of crops as a proportion of total farm size. A farmer increases the intensive margin by increasing output within a fixed area. This analysis examines cropping patterns for households in Tanzania between 2008 and 2010 using data from the Tanzania National Panel Survey (TZNPS). This brief describes changes in farm size, total area planted, and area planted of select annual crops to highlight the dynamic nature of farmer’s cropping choices for a sample population of 2,246 agricultural households that reported having any agricultural land in 2008 or 2010. Throughout the brief, we present summary statistics at the national level and compare them with household-level data to show how results vary depending on how the sub-population is defined and how average measures can mask household level changes. We analyze these questions in the context of smallholders (defined as households with total agricultural land area as less than two hectares) and farming systems.
This research project examines the traits of Tanzanian farmers living in five different farming system-based sub-regions: the Northern Highlands, Sukumaland, Central Maize, Coastal Cassava, and Zanzibar. We conducted quantitative analysis on data from the Tanzania National Panel Survey (TNPS). We complimented this analysis with qualitative data from fieldwork conducted in the summer of 2011 and September 2013 to present a quantitatively and qualitatively informed profile of the “typical” agricultural household’s land use patterns, demographic dynamics, and key issues or production constraints in each sub-region.
This poster presentation summarizes research on changes in crop planting decisions on the extensive and intensive margin in Tanzania, with regards to changes in agricultural land that a farmer has available and area planted in the context of smallholders and farming systems. We use household survey data from the Tanzania National Panel Survey (TNPS), part of the World Bank’s Living Standards Measurement Study–Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (LSMS – ISA) to test how much the agricultural land available to households changes, how much farmers change the proportion of land decidated to growing priority crops, and how crop area changes vary with changes in landholding. We find that almost half of households had a change of agricultural land area of at least half a hectare from 2008-2010. Smallholder farmers on average decreased the amount of available land between 2008 and 2010, while non-smallholder farmers increased agricultural land area during that time period, but that smallholder households planted a greater proportion of their agricultural land than nonsmallholders. Eighty percent of households changed crop proportions from 2008 to 2010, yet aggregate level indicators mask household level changes.
The purpose of this analysis is to provide a measure of marketable surplus of maize in Tanzania. We proxy marketable surplus with national-level estimates of total maize sold, presumably the surplus for maize producing and consuming households. We also provide national level estimates of total maize produced and estimate “average prices” for Tanzania which allows this quantity to be expressed as an estimate of the value of marketable surplus. The analysis uses the Tanzanian National Panel Survey (TNPS) LSMS – ISA which is a nationally representative panel survey, for the years 2008/2009 and 2010/2011. A spreadsheet provides our estimates for different subsets of the sample and using different approaches to data cleaning and weighting. The total number of households for Tanzania was estimated with linear extrapolation based on the Tanzanian National Bureau of Statistics for the years 2002 and 2012. The weighted proportions of maize-producing and maize-selling households were multiplied to the national estimate of total households. This estimate of total Tanzanian maize-selling and maize-producing households was then multiplied by the average amount sold and by the average amount produced respectively to obtain national level estimates of total maize sold and total maize produced in 2009 and 2011.

Buku Standar Produk Murabahah.pdf
Financial Services Authority, Jakarta, June 29, 2016: This Book on standards of Murabahah is part of the serial efforts to standardize Sharia banking products, which the Financial Services Authority (OJK) has carried out in collaboration with industry players, the National Sharia Board and other resource persons. Murabahah is a financing product that uses Murabahah contract; it is one of the products most often used in Sharia banking's financing activities.
Murabahah in general is applied through trade mechanisms. The goods are payable by installments and sold at marked-up prices to give profit margins to the banks. Today, Murabahah contracts contribute 58 percent to the total financing channeled by Indonesia's Sharia banking industry.
However in practice, Sharia banks still have different perceptions and implementation of Murabahah financing. Thus, it is necessary to design minimum standards of the product's technical and operational features, as reference for the product's use in order to comply with Sharia requirements and legislation and prudential principles.
In relation to such need and in order to improve Sharia banking services and product qualities and provide comfort and security for their consumers, OJK's Sharia Banking Department implemented its 2015 working program of developing a review on standards of Murabahah products. The review was in line with OJK policy directions stated in Indonesian Sharia Banking Roadmap for 2015 to 2019, one of which is "to improve service quality and product variety."
In addition to facilitating authorities in licensing and supervision process, these standards of Murabahah products are expected to provide guidelines or reference that can help the industry in product development and implementation. This book on product standards complements the one on product codification, which was delivered last year to the Sharia banking industry through OJK Circular Letter No. 36/SEOJK.03/2015 on Products and Activities of Sharia Commercial Banks and Sharia Business Units (UUS) as further provisions of OJK Regulation No.24/POJK.03/2015 on Products and Activities of Sharia Banks and UUS, which explains more about the products' technical and operational features, in a more detailed and comprehensive manner.
Publication of this Product Standards Book was expected to provide legal certainty and product transparency that would support consumer protection by satisfying Sharia principles, prudential principles, good governance and market conduct compliance, in order to increase the Sharia banking industry's competitiveness and growth.
