JILL M. JOHANSON, C.J.
Chambers Creek LLC (Chambers) appeals the trial court's order granting summary judgment to Anthony and Charles Schmidt (collectively the Schmidts) on Chambers' claims for civil conspiracy and conversion. Chambers argues that summary judgment was improper because its settlement agreement with Coyote Excavating, Inc. (Coyote) does not preclude its claims against the Schmidts and there are genuine disputes of material fact. In response, the Schmidts argue that Chambers' claims are barred by judicial estoppel and the compulsory counterclaims doctrine.
We hold that (1) neither judicial estoppel nor the compulsory counterclaim doctrine bar Chambers' conspiracy and conversion claims, (2) Chambers' settlement agreement with Coyote does not preclude its claims against the Schmidts, (3) a genuine dispute of material fact exists such that summary judgment was improper on Chambers' conversion claim, but (4) summary judgment was proper on the civil conspiracy claim. Therefore, we affirm summary judgment on the civil conspiracy claim and reverse summary judgment and remand for trial on the conversion claim.
I. 2011 NEGLIGENCE ACTION
In February 2010, Chambers contracted with Coyote for the demolition phase of a project owned by Chambers at a former paper mill. Anthony
Clerk's Papers (CP) at 27.
II. 2013 CONVERSION AND CIVIL CONSPIRACY ACTION
Anthony, as the principal of Coyote, prepared and signed a contract with Chambers that required Coyote to sell scrap metals from the demolition project exclusively to Metro Metals. While the negligence action was pending, Chambers discovered that Anthony had not sold all of the scrap metal to Metro Metals, but instead had sold some portion of the scrap metal to R.S. Davis and Seattle Iron & Metals. Tim Ralston, Chambers' manager at the demolition project, declared that neither he nor the subcontractor Zyph were involved in the sale of metals to R.S. Davis and Seattle Iron. Coyote had left the demolition project in April 2011 and Ralston claimed that in the fall of 2012, one of Coyote's employees notified him of Anthony's actions. Zyph declared that Anthony approached him within 10 days of beginning work on the project and asked him to be involved in a "side deal," which Zyph understood to mean to sell "metal from the Mill Site without the knowledge of the project owner, Chambers." CP at 66. Zyph declined to participate.
Charles is Anthony's father. Both Charles and Anthony admitted that they sold the scrap metal to R.S. Davis and Seattle Iron. However, both declared that selling the scrap metal elsewhere was part of Ralston's plan to generate more cash flow for the demolition project, and Charles stated that he learned after the sales that the metals were meant to be exclusively sold only to Metro Metals. When delivering the scrap metal to R.S. Davis, Charles presented a letter from Zyph purporting to authorize Charles to sell the scrap metal. Zyph declared that the letter was a forgery and Anthony declared that he signed Zyph's name on the authorization letter himself but that Zyph gave "consent over the phone." CP at 116.
Before Chambers and Coyote settled the negligence action there were several e-mail exchanges between the parties' attorneys that discussed Chambers' conversion and civil conspiracy claims against the Schmidts. In May 2013, Chambers filed suit against the Schmidts alleging civil conspiracy and conversion. The Schmidts moved for summary judgment, arguing that Chambers' claims were barred under theories of judicial estoppel and the requirement to assert compulsory counterclaims. The trial court granted summary judgment in the Schmidts' favor on both the conversion and civil conspiracy claims.
First we review and reject the Schmidts' arguments regarding judicial estoppel and the compulsory counterclaim doctrine. Then, we turn to Chambers' argument that the settlement agreement does not bar its action against the Schmidts. Finally, we analyze whether a genuine dispute of material fact exits, thus rendering summary judgment on Chambers' conversion and civil conspiracy claims improper.
I. STANDARD OF REVIEW
We review the trial court's summary judgment order de novo. Dean v. Fishing Co. of Alaska, Inc., 177 Wn.2d 399, 405, 300 P.3d 815 (2013). Summary judgment is appropriate where "the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law." CR 56(c). A fact is "material" when it "`affects the outcome of the litigation.'" Elcon Constr., Inc. v. E. Wash. Univ., 174 Wn.2d 157, 164, 273 P.3d 965 (2012) (quoting Owen v. Burlington N. Santa Fe R.R., 153 Wn.2d 780, 789, 108 P.3d 1220 (2005)). We engage in the same inquiry as the trial court, we view the facts in a light most favorable to Chambers, and we make all reasonable inferences from those facts in its favor as the nonmoving party. Lyons v. U.S. Bank Nat'l Ass'n, 181 Wn.2d 775, 783, 336 P.3d 1142 (2014). As the moving party, the Schmidts bear the initial burden of showing the absence of any genuine issue of material fact. Kofmehl v. Baseline Lake, LLC, 177 Wn.2d 584, 594, 305 P.3d 230 (2013).
II. JUDICIAL ESTOPPEL
The Schmidts argue that summary judgment was proper because Chambers is judicially estopped from alleging that the Schmidts converted the scrap metals because Chambers already alleged and settled their claim that Coyote converted metal from the mill project. We disagree that the Schmidts are entitled to summary judgment as a matter of law on the basis of judicial estoppel because the Schmidts have not established that Chambers took a clearly inconsistent position.
A. RULES OF LAW
"`Judicial estoppel is an equitable doctrine that precludes a party from asserting one position in a court proceeding and later seeking an advantage by taking a clearly inconsistent position.'" Anfinson v. FedEx Ground Package Sys., Inc., 174 Wn.2d 851, 861, 281 P.3d 289 (2012) (internal quotation marks omitted) (quoting Arkison v. Ethan Allen, Inc., 160 Wn.2d 535, 538, 160 P.3d 13 (2007)). "Three core factors" determine whether judicial estoppel applies: "(1) whether `a party's later position' is `clearly inconsistent with its earlier position'; (2) whether `judicial acceptance of an inconsistent position in a later proceeding would create the perception that either the first or the second court was misled'; and (3) `whether the party seeking to assert an inconsistent position would derive an unfair advantage or impose an unfair detriment on the opposing party if not estopped.'" Arkison, 160 Wn.2d at 538-39 (internal quotation marks omitted) (quoting New Hampshire v. Maine, 532 U.S. 742, 750-51, 121 S.Ct. 1808, 149 L. Ed. 2d 968 (2001)).
B. CHAMBERS DID NOT TAKE A CLEARLY INCONSISTENT POSITION
Chambers' amended complaint in the negligence action against Coyote did not mention the scrap metal nor did it address possible claims for civil conspiracy and conversion. Instead, in its response to Coyote's summary judgment motion in the negligence action, Chambers stated that it would file a separate suit against the Schmidts personally for conversion. In its e-mail correspondence with Coyote's attorney, Chambers said it planned to name the Schmidts "personally on claims of conversion and civil conspiracy" and that it would file those claims separately. CP at 155.
Chambers' position during the negligence action was consistent with its position here— that the Schmidts are personally liable for conversion and civil conspiracy. Arkison, 160 Wn.2d at 538-39. Chambers intended to pursue those claims against the Schmidts personally and in a separate action. The Schmidts fail to show how Chambers took a clearly inconsistent position in the negligence action because Chambers did not previously claim conversion in the 2011 litigation. We hold that judicial estoppel does not bar Chambers from pursuing its conversion and civil conspiracy claims.
III. COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIMS UNDER CR 13(A)
Next, the Schmidts argue that summary judgment was proper because CR 13(a), the compulsory counterclaim rule, required Chambers to bring its conversion claim in its prior negligence action against Coyote. We disagree with the Schmidts.
A. RULES OF LAW
In general, a party's failure to bring a compulsory counterclaim will bar a later action on that claim. Schoeman v. New York Life Ins. Co., 106 Wn.2d 855, 863, 726 P.2d 1 (1986). CR 13(a) provides, in relevant part,
Washington courts apply the "logical relationship" test to determine whether the claim and counterclaim arose out of the same transaction or occurrence. Schoeman, 106 Wn.2d at 865-66. This test asks whether the claim is logically related to the potential counterclaim. Schoeman, 106 Wn.2d at 865.
B. ALLEGED CONVERSION AROSE OUT OF A DIFFERENT TRANSACTION OR OCCURRENCE
The Schmidts point to their 2011 counterclaim for conversion of Coyote's demolition equipment against Chambers and argues that under CR 13(a), Chambers was required to bring its claim for conversion of the scrap metal at the same time. The Schmidts' argument fails.
The few facts about Coyote's counterclaim that are in the summary judgment record confirm that its claim against Chambers for conversion of its demolition equipment did not arise out of the same transaction or occurrence as the Schmidts' alleged scrap metal conversion. In April 2011, Coyote quit Chambers' demolition project and left its equipment on Chambers' property. Chambers refused to return it, claiming the equipment as an offset for the cost of cleaning the asbestos damage that Coyote caused. In September 2011, Chambers sued Coyote for negligence relating to the asbestos contamination seeking to recover the cleanup cost, and Coyote counterclaimed for the conversion of its equipment. It was not until a year later, in late 2012, that Chambers learned of the Schmidts' alleged scrap metal conversion. Additionally, Chambers did not receive documentation from Seattle Iron confirming the Schmidts' scrap metal sales until May 2013.
Chambers' scrap metal conversion claim against the Schmidts did not arise out of the same transaction as Coyote's counterclaim in the negligence action for conversion of its equipment; these claims were not logically related. Thus, CR 13(a) does not apply and Chambers was not required to bring its conversion claim as a counterclaim.
IV. THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
Chambers contends that the settlement agreement did not resolve its conversion and civil conspiracy claims against the Schmidts. We conclude that a material issue of fact exists regarding what claims were settled in the 2011 negligence action.
Here, as the moving party, it is the Schmidts' burden to demonstrate that there is no dispute of fact as to whether the settlement agreement resolved Chambers' conversion and conspiracy claims against them personally. Kofmehl, 177 Wn.2d at 594. The Schmidts fail to meet that burden.
The notice of settlement in the negligence action stated,
CP at 22 (emphasis added).
First, the notice of settlement does not explicitly resolve Chambers' conversion and conspiracy claims against the Schmidts. The notice of settlement plainly resolves all claims between Chambers and Coyote—the plaintiff and defendant in the negligence action. The Schmidts were not a party to the prior action and the settlement refers to dismissal of only the "captioned action." Further, there is no explicit reference to dismissal of the filed conversion and conspiracy cause of action in the notice of settlement.
Second, in its September 2011 amended negligence complaint, Chambers made no mention of its claims for conversion and conspiracy against the Schmidts, so settlement of "all claims by plaintiff against defendant" and "dismissal of the captioned action" does not necessarily include those claims. CP at 22.
Third, Chambers' counsel corresponded by e-mail with Coyote's counsel about the fact that it was considering a claim for conversion against the Schmidts personally in a separate action. One e-mail stated that "[b]oth Anthony and his father were involved in the unauthorized removal and sale of metal. We intend to name both personally on claims of conversion and civil conspiracy." CP at 155. In another e-mail, Chambers' counsel stated that his "client [was] still pondering his options on the conversion claim. If he elects to go forward, I will file a separate action. I think your advice to keep the claims separate is well taken." CP at 156 (emphasis added).
Both e-mails suggest that even as Chambers was litigating its negligence claim against Coyote, it intended to bring separate claims for civil conspiracy and conversion against the Schmidts personally. In contrast, the Schmidts argue that an email from October 2011 between Chambers and Anthony tends to show the threat of the conversion and conspiracy suit was used to bring forth the settlement of the parties. At the very least, this raises a disputed fact as to whether the settlement agreement was intended to resolve the conversion and conspiracy claims.
In light of Chambers' pleadings, the language of the settlement agreement and the e-mail correspondence between the parties, the Schmidts have not met their initial burden to demonstrate that there is no dispute of fact as to whether the settlement agreement resolved Chambers' claims against them. Indeed, it seems reasonable to conclude that the settlement agreement was not intended to resolve Chambers' suit against the Schmidts. Accordingly, we agree with Chambers that summary judgment was improper on this basis.
V. GENUINE ISSUES OF MATERIAL FACT
Chambers argues that summary judgment on its conversion claim and its civil conspiracy claim was inappropriate because genuine issues of fact exist. We agree in part.
Here, Chambers argues regarding its conversion claim that a genuine issue of material fact exists as to whether it authorized the Schmidts' scrap metal sales because Ralston, a Chambers' employee, and Zyph, a subcontractor, both declared that they did not approve the sale. The Schmidts argue that Zyph's and Ralston's declarations and Ralston's testimony were insufficiently specific about the Schmidts' scrap metal sales and contain no evidence that conversion actually took place. We agree with Chambers.
A claim of conversion requires the plaintiff to prove three elements: (1) that the Schmidts intentionally interfered with Chambers' property, the metal, (2) by taking the property or retaining it unlawfully, and (3) that the Schmidts thereby deprived Chambers, the rightful owner, of possession. Aldaheff v. Meridian on Bainbridge Island, LLC, 167 Wn.2d 601, 619, 220 P.3d 1214 (2009).
Anthony, as the principal of Coyote, prepared and signed the contract with Chambers that required Coyote to sell scrap metals from the demolition project exclusively to Metro Metals. Anthony declared that he delivered the scrap metals to Seattle Iron personally and that he directed Charles to deliver scrap metals to R.S. Davis. From Anthony's own statements there is no dispute that (1) Chambers owned the scrap metals and (2) the Schmidts deprived Chambers of possession of the scrap metals when they sold the metals to Seattle Iron and R.S. Davis.
But whether the Schmidts sold the scrap metals unlawfully or whether they had Chambers' permission is a material disputed fact. This issue "`affects the outcome of th[is] litigation'" because if Chambers authorized the Schmidts' scrap metal sales to Seattle Iron and R.S. Davis, the Schmidts did not sell the scrap metals "unlawfully" and no conversion occurred. Elcon Constr., Inc., 174 Wn.2d at 164 (quoting Owen, 153 Wn.2d at 789).
Zyph declared that Anthony asked him if he was interested in a "`side deal,'" which he understood to mean that they would be "selling metal from the Mill Site without the knowledge of the project owner, Chambers." CP at 66. Zyph declared further that the letter Charles presented to R.S. Davis was forged and that he never authorized that sale. Ralston also declared that he "did not authorize the sale of metal to either R.S. Davis or Seattle Iron [and that n]either [he], nor Mr. Zyph to [his] knowledge received any portion of the proceeds." CP at 137.
In contrast, the Schmidts declared that Ralston directed them to find another buyer for the scrap metal in order to improve cash flow for the demolition project. Anthony also testified that he did not forge Zyph's letter to R.S. Davis but signed it on Zyph's behalf with his authorization. These conflicting declarations and testimony confirm the existence of a genuine dispute as to whether Chambers authorized the Schmidts' scrap metal sales to R.S. Davis or Seattle Iron. Accordingly, summary judgment on this basis was improper.
B. CIVIL CONSPIRACY CLAIM
Chambers argues that Charles's "involvement in removing metal" from the project site supports an inference that he was involved in the scrap metal conversion and therefore participated in a civil conspiracy. We disagree.
A civil conspiracy requires clear, cogent, and convincing proof that "(1) two or more people combined to accomplish an unlawful purpose, or combined to accomplish a lawful purpose by unlawful means; and (2) the conspirators entered into an agreement to accomplish the object of the conspiracy." Wilson v. State, 84 Wn.App. 332, 350-51, 929 P.2d 448 (1996) (citing Corbit v. J.I. Case Co., 70 Wn.2d 522, 528-29, 424 P.2d 290 (1967)). A suspicion or "commonality of interests is insufficient to prove a conspiracy." Wilson, 84 Wn. App. at 351 (citing Corbit, 70 Wn.2d at 529). If the facts and circumstances on which the plaintiff bases his claim of conspiracy are "as consistent with a lawful purpose as with an unlawful undertaking," the facts are insufficient to establish a conspiracy. All Star Gas, Inc. of Wash. v. Bechard, 100 Wn.App. 732, 740, 998 P.2d 367 (2000) (quoting Lewis Pac. Dairymen's Ass'n v. Turner, 50 Wn.2d 762, 314 P.2d 625 (1957). When applying the clear, cogent, and convincing evidence standard in the summary judgment context, we must determine "whether, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party, a rational trier of fact could find that the nonmoving party supported [its] claim with clear, cogent, and convincing evidence." Woody v. Stapp, 146 Wn.App. 16, 22, 189 P.3d 807 (2008).
Here, there is evidence that Anthony directed Charles to deliver scrap metals to R.S. Davis and that Charles complied. Ralston testified that he saw Charles on the project site several times, that Charles told Ralston that he owned the equipment Anthony was using to complete the project, and that Anthony owed Charles some money for it.
Chambers relies on the fact that Charles drove scrap metals to R.S. Davis and that Coyote had financial problems as evidence of an agreement to commit civil conspiracy such that summary judgment was inappropriate. However, this argument ignores the burden of proof. A civil conspiracy must be proven by clear, cogent, and convincing evidence. Wilson, 84 Wn. App. at 350-51. Here, there is no evidence that Charles knew that Anthony had entered into a contract with Chambers to sell the scrap metal exclusively to Metro Metals. Without evidence that Charles knew the sale to R.S. Davis was unauthorized by Chambers there is no evidence that two or more persons combined to accomplish a lawful purpose by unlawful means. Although Anthony and Charles both participated in the sale of scrap metal to R.S. Davis, no rational trier of fact could conclude that there is clear, cogent, and convincing evidence that Charles and Anthony entered into an agreement to unlawfully convert the scrap metals. Therefore, the trial court properly granted summary judgment on the civil conspiracy claim.
In conclusion, we affirm the trial court's summary judgment order as to Chamber's civil conspiracy claim. But we reverse summary judgment as to Chambers' conversion claim and remand for trial.
A majority of the panel having determined that this opinion will not be printed in the Washington Appellate Reports, but will be filed for public record in accordance with RCW 2.06.040, it is so ordered.

Download PDF The Lectures on Faith are a series of seven theological presentations made to the School of the Elders held in Kirtland, Ohio, during the winter. The Lectures on Faith is the popular title of a set of seven theological lectures delivered in the School of the Elders in Kirtland, Ohio, in the winter of – ASeek Learning by Faith,@ David A. Bednar; AAuthorship and History of the Power over All Things: The Doctrine of the Godhead in the Lectures on Faith,@.
Accordingly, the church body accepted the committee's compilation on August 17, , as "the doctrine and covenants of their faith, by a unanimous vote" History of the Church 2: — Some Latter Day Saint denominations have subsequently removed the lectures from the Doctrine and Covenants. The lectures were removed from the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints version of the Doctrine and Covenants in , although that denomination began publishing the lectures in a separate volume in The LDS Church removed the lectures from the Doctrine and Covenants in the edition, with an explanation that the lectures "were never presented to nor accepted by the Church as being otherwise than theological lectures or lessons".
See Introduction, edition. This is in contrast to the remaining pages of the original Doctrine and Covenants, which are officially recognized by nearly all Latter Day Saint denominations as divine revelation given specifically to the church.
Mormon apologists give several reasons to explain why the Lectures were removed from the scriptural volumes of the LDS Church.
According to church apostle Joseph Fielding Smith , the reasons were: " a They were not received as revelations by the prophet Joseph Smith. They are explanations of this principle but not doctrine. More complete instructions on the point of doctrine are given in section of the and all subsequent editions of the Doctrine and Covenants.
Talmage, chairman, and other members of the committee who were responsible for their omission that to avoid confusion and contention on this vital point of belief, it would be better not to have them bound in the same volume as the commandments or revelations which make up the Doctrine and Covenants.
Alexander has stated in a Sunstone article: Revision [of the Doctrine and Covenants] continued through July and August , and the Church printed the new edition in late The committee proposed to delete the 'Lectures on Faith' on the grounds that they were 'lessons prepared for use in the School of the Elders, conducted in Kirtland, Ohio, during the winter of ; but they were never presented to nor accepted by the Church as being otherwise than theological lectures or lessons.
The general conference of the Church in April had accepted the entire volume, including the Lectures, not simply the portion entitled 'Covenants and Commandments,' as authoritative and binding upon Church members.
What seems certain, however, is that the interpretive exegesis of based upon the reconstructed doctrine of the Godhead had superseded the Lectures. For instance, in Lecture 5, paragraph 2, it defines the Father as a "personage of spirit, glory and power," whereas in section of the Doctrine and Covenants, verse 22 states that "the Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man's.
The Holy Spirit is not a personage, as defined at the beginning of paragraph 2: "There are two personages who constitute the great, matchless, governing and supreme power over all things They are the Father and Son. In , Elder Bruce R. McConkie , then a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' First Council of the Seventy, praised the lectures as follows: "In my judgment, it is the most comprehensive, inspired utterance that now exists in the English language—that exists in one place defining, interpreting, expounding, announcing, and testifying what kind of being God is.
It was written by the power of the Holy Ghost, by the spirit of inspiration. From this we can see that the whole human family in the early age of their existence, in all their different branches, had this knowledge disseminated among them; so that the existence of God became an object of faith in the early age of the world.
And the evidences which these men had of the existence of a God, was the testimony of their fathers in the first instance. The reason why we have been thus particular on this part of our subject, is that this class may see by what means it was that God became an object of faith among men after the fall; and what it was that stirred up the faith of multitudes to feel after him-to search after a knowledge of his character, perfections and attributes, until they became extensively acquainted with him, and not only commune with him and behold his glory, but be partakers of his power and stand in his presence.
Let this class mark particularly, that the testimony which these men had of the existence of a God, was the testimony of man; for previous to the time that any of Adam's posterity had obtained a manifestation of God to themselves, Adam, their common father, had testified unto them of the existence of God, and of his eternal power and Godhead.
For instance, Abel, before he received the assurance from heaven that his offerings were acceptable unto God, had received the important information of his father that such a Being did exist, who had created and who did uphold all things. Neither can there be a doubt existing on the mind of any person, that Adam was the first who did communicate the knowledge of the existence of a God to his posterity; and that the whole faith of the world, from that time down to the present is in a certain degree dependent on the knowledge first communicated to them by their common progenitor; and it has been handed down to the day and generation in which we live, as we shall show from the face of the sacred records.
First, Adam was years old when Seth was born. And the days of Adam, after he had begotten Seth, were years, making him years old when he died. Seth was when Enos was born v. From this account it appears that Lamech, the 9th from Adam, and the father of Noah, was 56 years old when Adam died; Methuselah, ; Enoch, ; Jared, ; Mahalaleel, ; Cainan, ; Enos, ; and Seth, So that Lamech the father of Noah, Methuselah, Enoch, Jared, Mahalaleel, Cainan, Enos, Seth, and Adam, were all living at the same time, and, beyond all controversy, were all preachers of righteousness.
Moses further informs us that Seth lived after he begat Enos, years, making him years old at his death. And Enos lived after he begat Cainan, years, making him years old when he died vv. And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel, years, making him years old at his death vv.
And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared, years, making him years old when he died vv. And Jared lived after he begat Enoch, years, making him years old at his death vv. And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah years, making him years old when he was translated vv.
Lamech lived after he begat Noah, years, making him years old when he died vv. Agreeable to this account, Adam died in the th year of the world; Enoch was translated in the th, fn Seth died in the nd; Enos in the th; Cainan in the th; Mahalaleel in the th; Jared in the nd; Lamech in the st; and Methuselah in the th, it being the same year in which the flood came. So that Noah was 84 years old when Enos died, when Cainan died, when Mahalaleel died, when Jared died, when Lamech died, and when Methuselah died.
From the foregoing it is easily to be seen, not only how the knowledge of God came into the world, but upon what principle it was preserved; that from the time it was first communicated, it was retained in the minds of righteous men, who taught not only their own posterity but the world; so that there was no need of a new revelation to man, after Adam's creation to Noah, to give them the first idea or notion of the existence of a God; and not only of a God, but the true and living God.
Having traced the chronology of the world from Adam to Noah, we will now trace it from Noah to Abraham. Noah was years old when Shem was born; 98 years afterwards the flood came, being the th year of Noah's age.
And Moses informs us that Noah lived after the flood years, making him years old when he died. Shem was years old when Arphaxad was born. Arphaxad was 35 when Salah was born ; Salah was 30 when Eber was born ; Eber was 34 when Peleg was born, in whose days the earth was divided ; Peleg was 30 when Reu was born ; Reu was 32 when Serug was born ; Serug was 30 when Nahor was born ; Nahor was 29 when Terah was born ; Terah was 70 when Haran and Abraham were born There is some difficulty in the account given by Moses of Abraham's birth.
Some have supposed that Abraham was not born until Terah was years old. This conclusion is drawn from a variety of scriptures, which are not to our purpose at present to quote. Neither is it a matter of any consequence to us whether Abraham was born when Terah was 70 years old, or But in order that there may no doubt exist upon any mind in relation to the object lying immediately before us, in presenting the present chronology we will date the birth of Abraham at the latest period, that is, when Terah was years old.
It appears from this account that from the flood to the birth of Abraham, was years. Moses informs us that Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad, years ; this added to years, which was his age when Arphaxad was born, makes him years old when he died. Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah, years ; this added to 35 years, which was his age when Salah was born, makes him years old when he died. Salah lived after he begat Eber, years ; this added to 30 years, which was his age when Eber was born, makes him years old when he died.
Eber lived after he begat Peleg, years ; this added to 34 years, which was his age when Peleg was born, makes him years old. Peleg lived after he begat Reu, years ; this added to 30 years, which was his age when Reu was born, makes him years old when he died.
Reu lived after he begat Serug years ; this added to 32 years, which was his age when Serug was born, makes him years old when he died. Serug lived after he begat Nahor, years ; this added to 30 years, which was his age when Nahor was born, makes him years old when he died.
Nahor lived after he begat Terah, years ; this added to 29 years, which was his age when Terah was born, makes him years old when he died. Terah was years old when Abraham was born, and is supposed to have lived 75 years after his birth, making him years old when he died. Agreeable to this last account, Peleg died in the th year of the world, Nahor in the th, and Noah in the th. So that Peleg, in whose days the earth was divided, and Nahor, the grandfather of Abraham, both died before Noah-the former being years old, and the latter ; and who cannot but see that they must have had a long and intimate acquaintance with Noah?
Reu died in the th year of the world, Serug in the th, Terah in the rd, Arphaxad in the th, Salah in the th, Shem in the th, Abraham in the rd, and Eber in the th, which was four years after Abraham's death. And Eber was the fourth from Noah. It appears from this account, that Nahor, brother of Abraham, Terah, Nahor, Serug, Reu, Peleg, Eber, Salah, Arphaxad, Shem, and Noah, all lived on the earth at the same time; and that Abraham was 18 years old when Reu died, 41 when Serug and his brother Nahor died, 75 when Terah died, 88 when Arphaxad died, when Salah died, when Shem died, and that Eber lived four years after Abraham's death.
We have now traced the chronology of the world agreeable to the account given in our present Bible, from Adam to Abraham, and have clearly determined, beyond the power of controversy, that there was no difficulty in preserving the knowledge of God in the world from the creation of Adam, and the manifestation made to his immediate descendants, as set forth in the former part of this lecture; so that the students in this class need not have any doubt resting on their minds on this subject, for they can easily see that it is impossible for it to be otherwise, but that the knowledge of the existence of a God must have continued from father to son, as a matter of tradition at least; for we cannot suppose that a knowledge of this important fact could have existed in the mind of any of the before-mentioned individuals, without their having made it known to their posterity.
We have now shown how it was that the first thought ever existed in the mind of any individual that there was such a Being as a God, who had created and did uphold all things: that it was by reason of the manifestation which he first made to our father Adam, when he stood in his presence, and conversed with him face to face, at the time of his creation. Let us here observe, that after any portion of the human family are made acquainted with the important fact that there is a God, who has created and does uphold all things, the extent of their knowledge respecting his character and glory will depend upon their diligence and faithfulness in seeking after him, until, like Enoch, the brother of Jared, and Moses, they shall obtain faith in God, and power with him to behold him face to face.
We have now clearly set forth how it is, and how it was, that God became an object of faith for rational beings; and also, upon what foundation the testimony was based which excited the inquiry and diligent search of the ancient saints to seek after and obtain a knowledge of the glory of God; and we have seen that it was human testimony, and human testimony only, that excited this inquiry, in the first instance, in their minds. It was the credence they gave to the testimony of their fathers, this testimony having aroused their minds to inquire after the knowledge of God; the inquiry frequently terminated, indeed always terminated when rightly pursued, in the most glorious discoveries and eternal certainty.
There is. Who is it? It is God. How do you prove that God has faith in himself independently? Because he is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient; without beginning of days or end of life, and in him all fullness dwells. Is he the object in whom the faith of all other rational and accountable beings center, for life and salvation?
He is. For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Behold, the Lord God will come with strong hand [or, against the strong], and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him [or, recompense for his work].
He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being his counsellor hath taught him? With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?
Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing. And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering. All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.
LDS Perspectives Podcast: “The Lectures on Faith,” with Noel Reynolds
When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. How did men first come to the knowledge of the existence of a God, so as to exercise faith in him? In order to answer this question, it will be necessary to go back and examine man at his creation; the circumstances in which he was placed, and the knowledge which he had of God.
First, when man was created he stood in the presence of God. From this we learn that man, at his creation, stood in the presence of his God, and had most perfect knowledge of his existence.
Secondly, God conversed with him after his transgression. From this we learn that, though man did transgress, he was not deprived of the previous knowledge which he had of the existence of God.
Thirdly, God conversed with man after he cast him out of the garden. Fourthly, God also conversed with Cain after he had slain Abel. What is the object of the foregoing quotation? It is that it may be clearly seen how it was that the first thoughts were suggested to the minds of men of the existence of God, and how extensively this knowledge was spread among the immediate descendants of Adam.
What testimony had the immediate descendants of Adam, in proof of the existence of God? The testimony of their father. And after they were made acquainted with his existence, by the testimony of their father, they were dependent upon the exercise of their own faith, for a knowledge of his character, perfections, and attributes.
Had any other of the human family, besides Adam, a knowledge of the existence of God, in the first instance, by any other means than human testimony? They had not. For previous to the time that they could have power to obtain a manifestation for themselves, the all-important fact had been communicated to them by their common father; and so from father to child the knowledge was communicated as extensively as the knowledge of his existence was known; for it was by this means, in the first instance, that men had a knowledge of his existence.
How do you know that the knowledge of the existence of God was communicated in this manner, throughout the different ages of the world? By the chronology obtained through the revelations of God. How would you divide that chronology in order to convey it to the understanding clearly? Into two parts-First, by embracing that period of the world from Adam to Noah; and secondly, from Noah to Abraham; from which period the knowledge of the existence of God has been so general, that it is a matter of no dispute in what manner the idea of his existence has been retained in the world.

“You see the sky of San Pedro Mártir, without a moon, and you see so many stars that you feel they are going to fall on you,” describes the Mexican astronomer Ilse Plauchu in relation to the beauty of so-called star tourism or astrotourism.
In an interview for Sputnikthe astronomer explains that the activity consists of taking pictures of the night sky to capture stars, planets and even the Milky Way, which necessarily implies being in an open place that allows the celestial bodies to shine in their splendor, without the already so common light pollution of cities.
This activity is as old as the daguerreotype (the first photographic camera prototype), since it is known that its creator, Louis Daguerre, in 1839, tried to take a picture of the Moon. The result was somewhat blurry, and it would be years before better images of space were obtained.
In fact, it is considered the first successful photograph of the Moon, the one taken by New York University researcher John William Draper on March 23, 1840.
Projects such as NASA’s Hubble and James Webb telescopes have also helped to increase general interest in the combination of astronomy and photography with their impressive postcards of the corners of the universe.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought a new interest in open activities and, above all, in star tourism, according to the researcher’s own perception.
“We have always observed visitors who go to the National Park, but they usually go during the day and before the pandemic you could see how they entered to see the telescopes. But now I see that more people stay in the park to camp,” says the researcher.
According to data from Google Trends, words like astronomy have had a sustained growth in web searches, at least in the last five years. Since March 2020, the term reported a considerable increase until reaching its highest point in September 2022.
Countries like Mexico have been gaining the interest of astrophotographers in recent years. According to the Airbnb platform, this country was the second country in Latin America with the most accommodation for astrotourism during 2018, with 280 of the more than 3,000 places that are rented on the entire platform linked to this activity.
In that year alone, the room reservation firm reported that destinations such as the San Pedro Mártir National Park increased their demand by 191%, in line with other sites considered ideal for this activity such as Antofagasta, in Chile, La Palma , in Spain, Kiruna, in Sweden, and Yarmouth, in Canada.
Part of the heyday of this activity is that, thanks to the advancement of photography on mobile devices, these can be used to take pictures of stars as long as they have a professional mode that allows them to take long exposure photos (minimum 30 seconds).
While there are four sites around the world considered to have the best weather conditions for stargazing (Baja California in Mexico, the Atacama Desert in Chile, the Canary Islands in Spain, and Mauna Kea in Hawaii), what is also known under the term “astronomical quality” of the atmosphere (the number of clear nights, the amount of water vapor and the stability of the atmosphere).
There are other sites where the activity can be carried out and which can be consulted in tools such as Light Pollution Map, which shows a world map and the level of light pollution at each site.
For Ilse Plauchu, four conditions are required to consider that there is an optimal sky for star tourism: a very dark place, far from cities and light pollution; that it be a place that most of the year does not have clouds, and that have conditions of seeinga concept used in astronomy to assess how much one star can be distinguished from another at night.
In addition to this, it is necessary to know as accurately as possible what the weather conditions will be during the night, since this can hinder the activity, and to have guides and compasses that help locate the stars more quickly.
You see the sky of San Pedro Mártir, without a moon, and you see so many stars that you feel they are going to fall on you. And you know that each of those stars, maybe not all of them, can have solar systems like ours. It gives you an idea that we are not the only ones”, details the researcher from the Institute of Astronomy.
Although the San Pedro Mártir National Park, in Ensenada, Baja California, is one of the most visited tourist sites in the territorial entity, this activity is just beginning to be relevant for local authorities.

Tumors, Cysts, etc.
The breast by its very nature is "lumpy-bumpy", often making it difficult to distinguish lumps that count from normal breat tissue.
Lumps "that count" (dominant masses) tend to be distinct from normal breast tissue. They may be fluid-filled (cysts) or solid (tumors)--this can be differentiated by ultrasound. Tumors may be benign or malignant--this can be differentiated by biopsy

I am a 22-year-old man. Once I had unprotected sex. After that, my penis secretes white stuff like dirt at the top part of the penis. Is it a symptom of an infection or it is normal?
The white stuff coming from the end of your penis is most likely pus, which is a symptom of an infection. You need to see your doctor immediately to get treatment before the disease causes damage inside your body. Even if the pus stops coming out of your penis, it doesn’t mean the infection has gone away.
What type of infection is this? Is it a major disease or anything else?
I have no way of testing the disease type. There are a number that include pus coming from the penis: chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomonas, genital herpes, or even an yeast infection can be a cause. Some of these can cause significant damage to your body if left untreated.

Southern Africa today displays an original blend that is cultural of, European and Asian impacts. There’s the brash economic powerhouse of Johannesburg as well as its entirely more stately seaside counterpart Cape Town, plus the curry houses of Indian-influenced Durban, and the French www.datingmentor.org/zoosk-vs-okcupid vinicultural tradition and Dutch-derived architecture that characterises the winelands around Stellenbosch. Somewhere else, conventional Zulu and Ndebele social villages pay homage to your country’s native cultural variety, as does the incomparable wide range of prehistoric rock art based in the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg.
An important element of contemporary South Africa’s fascination may be the immense progress it has made as being a unified nation considering that the first democratic election was held here in 1994, a development placed in sobering historical perspective by visit to Johannesburg’s Apartheid Museum or Cape Town’s District Six Museum. The three-million-year-long hominid fossil record preserved in the ancient limestone caverns of Gauteng’s Cradle of Humankind has no peer elsewhere in the world at the opposite end of the immediacy scale.
In general, South Africa is a national nation like no other.
Johannesburg and the highveld is hot and mild by day, cool at night and receives occasional rainfall often within the afternoon that is late.
Cape Town while the Western Cape starts cooling down with regular windy spells, cooler evenings and crisp very early mornings.
The Kruger Park and surrounds remains hot throughout the day, trying to cool off at night and receives rainfall that is occasional.
March is really a good time for coastline breaks anywhere across the South African coast, with various regions offering varied climates to attract tourists looking for a selection of experiences. Durban as well as the eastern shore remains warm and humid, even though the peak tourist season has quietened straight down and costs are fairly low, making it an option that is good.
Game viewing within the Kruger Park and other reserves starts picking up while the rain abates plus the lush summer vegetation clears to help make spotting wildlife easier. This is an exceptional period for birdwatching as a profusion of wild birds enter into breeding plumage and they are supplement by way of a selection of intra-African and Palaearctic migrants.
March lies towards the finish associated with the nesting season for loggerhead and leatherback turtles over the beaches of iSimangaliso, and turtle-tracking trips can be undertaken at night.
Accommodation within the main tourist areas is usually fairly quiet in March.
Johannesburg and the highveld is warm by day, cool at night and could get rainfall that is occasional.
Cape Town while the Western Cape is mild by time, cool at night and may begin getting periodic rainfall to mark the wet cold weather duration.
The Kruger Park and surrounds sees the regular shift towards autumn with noticeable falls in conditions, occasional belated summer time rains and cool evenings.
April can be an ideal time for beach vacations over the east coastline due to its hot and tropical weather over summer and winter. However, it would likely never be the time that is ideal a beach visit to the western or eastern cape since the weather is cooler and rains begin falling around this time.
Game viewing into the Kruger Park along with other reserves is could be fairly challenging as pets are dispersed far from water sources and vegetation that is thick to cut back presence. This is perhaps compensated by the lush condition that is green of bush and better skies (better for photography). Most Intra-African and Palaearctic birds that are migrant have flown north by April.
Accommodation is commonly very complete through the college vacations focussed on the break that is easter.
The Easter weekend coincides with South Africa’s longest running music event, the four-day Splashy Fen, which has been held on a farm into the Ukhahlamba-Drakensberg foothills near the city of Underberg since 1990.
Johannesburg and also the highveld is hot by day, cold at night, and dry.

This is a good, old fashioned adventure story full of derring-do and a clear-cut, no-nonsense morality with all ends satisfyingly and completely tied up at its conclusion. The plot rattles along at a cracking pace, the characters – including the sea – are larger than life and yet the dilemmas always seem real and readers will find themselves cheering on the goodhearted characters whose courage and decency prevail and rejoicing in the downfall of the pantomime villain.
Ned cannot join his parents for his summer holiday from boarding school as they are in Australia, awaiting the birth of their second child. He chooses the best of a series of depressing options and stays with his great aunt at the seaside. She is whisked away to hospital before his arrival and his solitary explorations lead to the discovery of Danielle, a deeply troubled runaway, and Doug, a tramp living the life of a hermit. Neither character’s circumstances are quite what they seem and the power of the book lies not only in its pace and the tensions in the characters’ interactions but in Ned’s discoveries about himself, which lead to a new understanding between him and his parents.

Found in Paris, and from the late Qing Dynasty, a pair of embroidered bound feet shoes/slippers in remarkable condition. Circa 1890-1900.
As a matter of fact, these shoes are in the best condition I have seen in 10 years of browsing for bound feet shoes, with no wear, no fraying of the silk, or even loose threads.
The shoes are made of a black silk satin of the highest quality, and are hand embroidered all over in satin stitch with small flowers, in a harmony of salmon pink, and moss green.
The tips with their small flowers embroidered just at the right place, are just adorable!
They have a nailed leather sole, and judging from them, were never worn, just kept from daylight in a box for over a Century.
There is some fading to the satin stitch colors, but the black silk and the black silk trim are still very black.
These shoes were not embroidered by the wearer obviously, but perfectly hand crafted items, sold into wealthy households by the merchants themselves.
MEASUREMENTS: Length: 6". Largest width at the heel: 1 3/4".
Will be shipped Expedited from Paris including insurance and signature at delivery.

Those who care about increasing the good years of life through medical advances have lost another champion with the passing of Dr. T. Franklin Williams.
Americans are living longer than ever – and that’s something to be thankful for. As Time points out, our oldest population is getting older as well.
It was reported on the NBC Today Show that type 2 diabetes is on the rise worldwide – the number of adults suffering from the disease has doubled since 1980, and will double again by 2030. Why the uptick? Anchor Natalie Morales attributed the increase to “weight gain and a sedentary lifestyle.” There’s only one problem: It’s not true.
A story from the Agence France-Press wire service documents the strides being taken toward greater understanding of the aging process. The AFP highlighted a new technique out of France by which “cells from elderly donors can be rejuvenated as stem cells, erasing the ravages of age and showing that aging is reversible.”
Last month, the FDA published a long awaited report on biomedical innovation, their only course of defense in the recent onslaught against the agency. Historically, the FDA has played a significant role in the protection of our health, assuming sole responsibility for the approval of medical products, but it appears that congressional confidence in the agency is waning.
Is Alzheimer’s disease contagious? Dozens of headlines ran earlier this month suggesting Alzheimer’s patients potential to infect others, but before quarantining forgetful friends and family, I advise further reading.
Alzheimer’s is the only top 10 killer disease in the U.S. that cannot be prevented, cured or even treated effectively over time. One big barrier: there are not enough volunteers for experimental drug trials for Alzheimer’s disease.
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the U.S.—yet in most cases, catching it early and treating it properly can mean saving sight. So why aren’t people taking the steps to find out if they have the disease, and treat it if they do?

A hospital or other healthcare facility can be a stressful place for patients – they are in pain, afraid, confused, frustrated – but it can also take a toll on those who work there, too. We don’t realize it, but workplace violence in healthcare facilities tends to be higher than in many others.
Workplace violence involves not just a physical assault, but also verbal abuse – threats, harassment, hostility – often prevalent in healthcare. In fact, many in the healthcare industry consider this harassment and verbal abuse to be more of an occupational hazard.
In hospitals, nursing homes and other healthcare facilities, workplace violence comes from not just co-workers, but also the patients and their family members and may include things such as:
- Verbal threats or physical attacks
- Distraught family members becoming abusive
- Gang violence in an emergency room
- Domestic disputes
- Coworker bullying
The Statistics Tell the Story
According to OSHA, from 2002 to 2013, incidents of serious workplace violence (those requiring days off for the injured worker to recuperate) were four times more common in healthcare than in private industry on average.
In fact, in 2013, the broad “healthcare and social assistance” sector had 7.8 cases of serious workplace violence per 10,000 full-time employees whereas other large sectors such as construction, manufacturing and retail all had fewer than 2 cases per 10,000 full time employees.
Often, violence in the healthcare industry goes unreported because:
- Caregivers feel a professional and ethical duty to do no harm to patients, putting their own safety and health at risk to help a patient
- Many recognize that injuries caused by patients are unintentional and accept them as routine or unavoidable
Prevalence of Workplace Violence in Healthcare
Many factors contribute to the risks healthcare workers face with regards to workplace violence.
- Working directly with people who have a history of violence or who may be delirious or under the influence of drugs
- Lifting, moving and transporting patients
- Working alone
- Poor environmental design that may block vision or escape routes
- Poor lighting in hallways or exterior areas
- Presence of firearms
- Working in neighborhoods with high crime rates
- Understaffing in general and especially during meal times and visiting hours
- High worker turnover
- Inadequate security staff
- Long wait times and overcrowded waiting rooms
- Unrestricted public access
Preventing Workplace Violence at Healthcare Facilities
Education is where prevention starts. Staff need to be trained on which situations carry an elevated risk of patient violence, what may be a trigger situation. Understanding the “why” can help determine what approach to take with a patient, such as offering a more detailed explanation or moving slowly and calmly.
Other factors that can help reduce violent tendencies include:
- Providing comfortable waiting rooms
- Adopting measures to decrease waiting time
- Providing sensitive, timely information to people who are waiting
- Establishing a system for identifying patients with a history of violence
- Discouraging staff from wearing necklaces to prevent strangulation
- Discouraging staff from carrying items that may be used as weapons (such as keys or pens)
- Ensuring that nurses and physicians are not alone when providing care that involves close contact with the patient
- Looking over the facility regularly to remove items that could be used as weapons, such as maintenance tools.
Be sure to address responses to an active shooter situation. You may not realize it, but the run, hide, fight approach doesn’t necessarily work in the healthcare field. I’ve had this brought to my attention in my OSHA Training classes. Staff in healthcare facilities can’t just leave their patients should an active shooter event take place.
As with any other organization, safety training to address workplace violence situations must be tailored to the risks faced at that workplace, addressing all types of situations, and must be ongoing.

How can we create a restful, edible city and take care of it as a self-organized community?Imagine: everyone could be a farmer and a farm could be anywhere. Create a system for citizens and groups to use urban space for food production. Avoid conflicts between production and other claims and build a reliable, long lasting community-run system.
In Zurich, space is a precious and finite good. Many citizens are keen to get involved in urban farming activity and produce their own food. Yet with the limited space, it is not always possible to meet this desire.
Today, food production is possible in family gardens, community gardens and similar spaces specifically reserved for farming and gardening activities. However, one could use other spaces as well. For example, roofs, rest-areas, and even grey spaces can be co-used for urban farming. How could we bring together the citizens' needs and the requirements of the city? Moreover, how can citizen engagement in urban farming become a lasting and caring community-run system?
Focus on the combination of urban spaces and urban farming activities in a community-run system. Possible solutions could focus on:
- What are the needs of the citizens? How can we implement the needs?
- What are realistic spaces for co-using and what are the synergies in relation to climate, co2, etc.?
- How do other cities approach this topic?
- How do these types of urban farming look like? New forms of production?
- What does a sustainable community look like (organization, self-organized, bottom up

JACKSON, Mich. — Vaccinations are slowing down in Hillsdale County, even though most of the population remains unvaccinated.
Health officials from Hillsdale Hospital are saying they’re running into a problem where there are more shots than willing recipients.
“We still see a low vaccination rate in our county,” Hillsdale Hospital President and CEO Jeremiah Hodshire said. “When you lower it to 12 and older, obviously that’s a larger gap because you have more students in that age group. Unfortunately, those numbers start to decrease significantly. Right now Hillsdale would be trending at about 32 percent vaccination rate now that we’ve lowered the age. Prior to that, we were averaging around 40 to 41 percent.”
Over the weekend Hillsdale Hospital targeted 12 to 18-year-olds by opening a vaccination clinic at Hillsdale High School. They wanted to get children vaccinated now before classes wrapped up for summer break. In all, 65 people signed up to receive the COVID vaccine, numbers that are in line with what Hillsdale Hospital Pharmacy Director Jeff Kauffman has seen at their pop-up clinics recently.
“Our first clinics would have anywhere from 500 to 1,000 people at a time. Now, if you’re having a larger clinic you may have 50 to 100 people. They’re much smaller in size,” Kauffman said.
Both Kauffman and Hodshire say the community support is there for these vaccinations but there is still a big percentage of the population that has been hesitant to participate.
“I think the concerns are obviously as individuals are looking for answers there’s a lot of uncertainty in terms of the interim measure, is it finally approved?" Hodshire said. "Just a lot of questions. So we combat that through education. Awareness. Talk about the science of it. A lot of politics out right now regarding this, a lot of division. But, what we know is we’re making the best choice for those that we love.”
The “politicization” of COVID-19 and the vaccines has frustrated the medical community, according to Kauffman. There is a bright spot though: 62 percent of those 50 and older are vaccinated in Hillsdale County.
“You’ve got a large amount of the 50 and up folks that have been vaccinated,” Kauffman said. “You have a lot of college-age students that are kind of on the fence. They were listening to the media saying younger folks aren’t really affected. They can be. Usually, it’s milder cases. But, we’ve seen kids in their 20s that have been affected severely.”
Hodshire says they understand they will not be able to get 100 percent of Hillsdale’s population vaccinated but they need to focus on the younger population now.
“That is very important to get back to 'normal' whatever that is now. Getting the students back in the classroom, getting the students to be able to participate in sports, extracurricular activities is so critical to the well-being, mental health, physical health of our students and of our community,” Hodshire said.
Tara Glei-Dietz is a special education teacher at Hillsdale Intermediate School District and is a mother of four. She has seen firsthand the challenges COVID has presented both in the classroom and in her home. Two of her kids contracted the virus and have since recovered. They are now all vaccinated.
“I trust science. I trust my doctors for medical advice. I trust my vet for health advice for my animals. I believe science is giving us the best information that they have and this is the best bet to move on,” Glei-Dietz said. “I want COVID to go away. I want people to be able to hug and to gather and to walk around school without masks and social distancing. I teach special education and it’s hard. It's hard on these kids. I just want to be able to move on.”
Kauffman believes there are several reasons the community and some of his own staff have been hesitant in getting the vaccine including the speed with which they were made and distributed, “misinformation” shaping people’s views, as well as the tiered system of how the vaccines were rolled out in Michigan.
“I would like to hopefully see more education of folks that they’re comfortable would want to do the right thing for themselves, get protected as well as the people around them because not only does the vaccine take care of the protection of that individual it is protecting the people around them. Right now what the data is looking at, there is very little chance they can spread the virus,” Kauffman said.
According to data from the state, 57.1 percent of Michigan's population 16 and up has received at least one dose.
“The next conversation that we have as a medical community and really as a society is what do we do with these vaccinations?” Hodshire said. “We can’t let them go to waste. They must be used. So, I think we have to have the dialogue and the conversation about who within the United States and even globally need the vaccinations if there is hesitancy and nobody is getting these vaccines.”
Jackson County has vaccinated 43.1 percent of its residents. Ingham County has vaccinated 45.3 percent of its residents as well. Overall, Michigan has seen a decline in COVID cases after a peak in March through April. As more people get vaccinated, health experts believe, these numbers will continue to go down.

This will help the development of autonomous vehicles in China.
China is pushing automakers toward electric and hybrid petrol-electric vehicles, setting tough quotas for NEVs that come into play in 2019, and has signalled a longer-term shift away from traditional internal combustion engine cars.
They have been encouraged by China and Beijing's governments, which have put significant resources behind electric vehicle manufacturing and have introduced regulations that mandate auto companies sell a greater proportion of electric and hybrid vehicles or get shut out of the world's biggest auto market. "Producing more vehicles for China locally allows us to improve the benefits for our customers, our partners and our bottom line".
Ford Motor Co (F.N) will launch 50 new vehicles in China by 2025, including 15 electrified vehicles, Peter Fleet, head of Ford Asia Pacific, told a news conference on Tuesday. Its joint venture with Anhui Zotye Automobile Co., announced last month, will produce a separate range of electric vehicles under a new brand. Ford said it will continue to work with China-based internet company Baidu Inc.to develop driverless cars. Visit MarketWatch.com for more information on this news.
Additionally, the automaker intends for 100% of all Ford and Lincoln products sold in China by the end of 2019 to be offered with embedded modems of plug-in devices for connectivity purposes.
"We've never seen change like we do today", said Bill Ford, Ford executive chairman. "The new distribution services division will enable us to offer an enhanced experience for our customers and more closely connect with our dealers and the community". "They are proof of our dedication to grow our business in China".

The Bitcoin Code Erfahrungen is actually a major offer right now, but not everyone understands why. More importantly, not every person understands no matter whether or not Bitcoin is for them, and the way they will get entangled. Right here are a few of the most persuasive good reasons why it is best to use Bitcoin.
Safer than banking institutions
The Bitcoin algorithm is as close to bulletproof being a pc program can get. Many of the finest hackers and on the web stability specialists have taken a crack at it, and to date no one can find any weaknesses. The Bitcoin code has long been described as masterfully published, the digital equivalent to Shakespeare.
Banking transactions, meanwhile, are underneath a reduced stage of security than Bitcoin. In many techniques, Bitcoin has needed to be safer compared to banking institutions. Soon after all, the banking companies are all over for centuries, and people know how it works. But Bitcoin could be the new, youthful upstart, and desires to show by itself.
Which makes Bitcoin a goal for many who wish to see it are unsuccessful. But Bitcoin’s inventor Satoshi Nakamoto held this in your mind whilst composing the Bitcoin algorithm. Go forward, give it a shot. I don’t feel you’ll crack it.
Decrease support service fees than financial institutions
Banking institutions demand large rates per transaction. The program is ready up within a way that individual transactions amongst two individuals are unattainable; they need a “trusted” third party to aid the transaction. And, normally, the banking companies get to have a provider rate for facilitating these transactions.
You can use escrow companies with Bitcoin which have a services charge, however you never need to. Simply because Bitcoin is predicated on P2P transactions, you can find no provider fees. Obviously, the banking companies usually are not a huge enthusiast of Bitcoin for the reason that of the.
Low possibility of inflation
The volume of Bitcoins becoming established is set at a predetermined charge. What that means is there is no chance of any federal government printing off extra money to pay for off their debts.
Whereas actual environment currencies lose a small % of their truly worth on a yearly basis, the cost of Bitcoin appears to be obtaining steadily increased.
Low threat of collapse
When your forex is attached to your governing administration, it is dependent about the security of that authorities. You and i each know governments can tumble, and once they do the currency they printed can at times become worthless. Take a search on the charges within your wallet. You labored hard for them. Could you picture them a person working day becoming well worth less than the paper they were being printed on?
Due to the fact Bitcoin is not connected to any govt or central authority, it isn’t going to rely on any exterior instances for its benefit. As long as the online world exists, Bitcoin will keep on to exist and be important.
