Regulation CC first became law back in 1992. Yes, that was when Sir Mix-a-Lot was "back" on the top of the charts, audiences were eating up Silence of the Lambs, and bowl cuts were a thing. Times have changed, but oddly Reg CC hasn't. Since 1992, Reg CC—which governs funds availability and how financial institutions handle check collection and return processes—has stayed mostly the same. But think about how much banking has evolved over the last quarter century, especially in light of the widespread use of electronic items, checks, and processing systems.
You might be surprised to learn that a large chunk of Reg CC still applies only to paper checks. Thankfully, the law is getting a modern makeover to acknowledge the fact that today's check collection world is now virtually entirely electronic. In June 2017, the Federal Reserve issued final amendments to Reg CC to get with the times, and the CFPB is expected to do the same shortly. These amendments will take effect on July 1, 2018, and they aim to recognize current collection practices.
Although remote deposit capture is convenient for customers, the service can be a nightmare for a bank. For example, when a person uses remote deposit capture, he or she retains the original paper check, which he or she could attempt to cash again. When this happens (and yes, it happens quite frequently), several parties are stuck arguing about who should take the loss. Typically, the bank that ends up paying the original paper check will bring a UCC claim against the check writer (who then has little redress unless he or she can track down the individual who cashed the check twice).
As you can see, this convenient service can expose an institution to potential liability. We recommend that banks and credit unions review their remote deposit capture agreements to ensure they are protected from bad actors. For example, since remote deposit capture now more than ever poses a credit risk for the institution, it may decide to only offer its remote deposit capture service to customers who have built a satisfactory history of deposits, or it may impose more restrictive remote capture deposit limits to curtail the potential exposure. Institutions might also consider discussing these issues with their third-party vendors providing remote deposit capture software to investigate whether the software can scan for proper restrictive indorsements.
That no person will receive a transfer, presentment, return of, or otherwise be charged again for a check that has already been paid.
In the case of an "electronic check" sent for collection, these warranties will flow to the transferee bank, any subsequent collecting bank, the paying bank, and the drawer of the check. In the case of an "electronic returned check," these warranties will flow to the transferee returning bank, any subsequent returning bank, the depository bank, and the owner of a returned check. Interestingly, by extending these warranties to drawers and owners of checks, the Federal Reserve essentially guarded these persons against certain types of harm that are typically beyond their control, such as harm resulting from illegible images or incorrect MICR lines.
Despite all of the above, the Federal Reserve recognizes the fact that "electronic checks" and "electronic returned checks" are currently governed by written agreements between financial institutions. In an effort to maintain this flexibility, the Reg CC amendments will allow financial institutions to continue to vary these new warranties by agreement (and other Subpart C provisions of Reg CC as they apply to "electronic checks" and "electronic returned checks") based on the notion that institutions are in the best position to address and limit these perceived risks and to determine their risk tolerance.
Keeping pace with technology is tough, especially in the world of electronic "check-like" items that never existed in paper form, such as electronic remotely created checks (e.g., online bill pay systems, etc.). To tackle this issue, amended Reg CC will also govern so-called "electronically created items," which are electronic images that have all the attributes of electronic checks or electronic returned checks but were created electronically and not derived from paper checks. As you can guess, an "electronically created item" can sometimes be difficult to distinguish from electronic images of paper checks.
During its rule making process, the Federal Reserve pondered extensively over how to best address "electronically created items" and whether to amend Reg CC to build new warranties or indemnities into its regulatory framework. After deliberation, the Federal Reserve determined that depository institutions should bear the risk of loss for these items. Under amended Reg CC, if a depository institution transfers or presents an "electronically created item" and receives settlement, the depository institution will indemnify subsequent banks in the collection chain from losses due to the fact that an "electronically created item" (a) was not derived from a paper check, (b) was unauthorized, or (c) was transferred or presented for payment more than once. Although Reg CC itself does not allow the depository institution to assert this new indemnity against the depositor, the institution can allocate that liability to the depositor under a separate written agreement.
To help decrease the risk to a depository bank that a check will be returned after funds have already been made available for withdrawal, Reg CC generally requires the "expeditious" return of checks. In part, a paying bank is currently deemed to have "expeditiously" returned a check if it returns the check to the depository bank in a manner such that the check would normally be received by the depository bank not later than 4:00 p.m. on the second business day following the banking day of presentment. If the paying bank fails to return a check expeditiously, the paying bank can find itself liable for losses incurred by the depository bank.
The amendments to Reg CC will slightly modify the expeditious return rule for all returned checks, both paper and electronic. Under the new rule, all returned checks must be returned in an expeditious manner such that the check would normally be received by the depository bank not later than 2:00 p.m. on the second business day following the banking day of presentment. In addition to moving the cutoff hour from 4:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., the Federal Reserve also added a new condition to the expeditious return rule to incentivize the electronic return of checks. Under the new rule, a paying bank may be liable to a depository bank for failing to return a check expeditiously only if the depository bank has arrangements in place such that the paying bank could return the returned check electronically by commercially reasonable means.
If one thing is clear from the Federal Reserve's amendments to Reg CC, the Board is set on encouraging financial institutions to be tech-savvy and forward thinkers. The Fed believes this new expeditious return rule will incentivize depository banks to receive electronic returns to preserve their ability to make claims that certain checks were not returned expeditiously. In essence, the Federal Reserve has used its rule-making power to encourage Luddite financial institutions to begin receiving electronic returns if they haven't already done so.
In general, the "midnight deadline" refers to a state law requirement in the UCC that a paying bank must dishonor a check (if it chooses) no later than midnight of the banking day following the day the check was presented. For example, if a paying bank is presented with a $100,000 check on Monday morning and decides to dishonor the check, it must typically do so by midnight on Tuesday (hence the name, the "midnight deadline"). If the paying bank fails to do so, the "midnight deadline" would have passed and the paying bank could find itself liable for the check. Notably, Reg CC contains some provisions that allow for a federal extension of the "midnight deadline" (e.g., qualified return checks, prompt delivery).
Banks can still extend the midnight deadline, though the amendments to Reg CC make some slight tweaks. For example, currently a paying bank can extend the deadline if it returns a check in a manner that would ordinarily deliver the check to the depository bank before its next banking day following the deadline. But as amended, the deadline is extended only if the depository bank actually receives the return before certain cutoff times. To help accomplish that, the amendments permit electronic returns if the paying bank has an agreement to do so with the receiving bank, whether between themselves or according to a Federal Reserve operating circular, clearinghouse rule, or other interbank agreement. These amendments, like those discussed already, further nudge the industry to embrace modern technology.
"Refer to Maker" Is No Longer the Easy Way Out.
As a general rule, when a paying bank returns a check, the paying bank must indicate on the face of the check the reason for the return. At some point in time, it became a common practice for paying banks unsure of the reason(s) for return to simply stamp "Refer to Maker" on returned checks – this was likely the result of permissive commentary under current Reg CC. Under the new rules, a paying bank will be required to indicate clearly the reason the bank is returning a check (e.g., NSF, alteration). Going forward, ambiguous reasons, such as "Refer to Maker," will no longer be appropriate in most circumstances, especially in situations involving altered or unauthorized checks.
There are No "Non-Local" Checks Anymore (Proposed Amendments).
Under the current language of Reg CC, a bank can hold a "non-local" check (i.e., a check processed in a different region than the depository institution) for five business days after the customer's deposit. However, because the Federal Reserve currently has only one check processing site (in Atlanta), this reference to "non-local" checks is a relic of the past (because all checks are processed in the same region as the depository institution). In other words, all checks today are considered "local" checks. Proposed amendments to Reg CC (which have not yet been finalized) will help clean up this obsolete language and eliminate the distinction between "local" and "non-local" checks. Take note that the regulatory language in Reg CC with respect to "non-local" checks is no longer relevant, and this old language will likely be fixed in the Federal Reserve's next set of amendments. Nowadays, all checks are "local" checks and must be made available to the customer by the second business day, unless of course an exception otherwise applies under Reg CC.
Please keep in mind that the above list is merely a summary of a select few highlights of the Federal Reserve's amendments to Reg CC. There are many more important amendments being made to Reg CC (which have not been discussed in this article) to acknowledge the rapidly changing industry, and there are even more proposals being considered. In sum, the various amendments to Reg CC are a good starting point and will (hopefully) help the industry keep pace with the ever-changing technology in use today.

Foundation announces its newest Student Star

Listen to Moonja Jeong sing
"When I sing, I have wings. I can fly!" says Moonja Jeong, music major in the College of Visual and Performing Arts.
The gifted international student from Korea has certainly soared at NIU, capturing the community's heart with her powerful voice and gentle spirit. "Voices that are that musical and that strong inspire everyone else around them," says Eric Johnson, director of choral activities in the NIU School of Music.
Just when things seemed like they couldn't get any better for the rising star, Jeong received the devastating news that family circumstances had made it impossible for her to pay her senior year's tuition. She realized she would have to leave NIU.
But NIU supporters weren't about to let that happen. "We are very fortunate to have a number of dedicated and thoughtful donors ready to step up in an emergency," says John Bass, executive director of Gift and Estate Planning.
The foundation community had been familiar with Jeong since she performed at an endowment luncheon the previous year. Donor Lynne Waldeland was in the audience that afternoon. "Moonja performed, and it took people's breath away," she says. "Before the applause, there was a moment of stunned silence when she finished."
"When we heard about Moonja's urgent situation, we knew that we needed to provide assistance. Failure was not an option," Bass says. "If I had to go out and stand on the corner with a tin cup, I would have gladly done so."
Thankfully, that was not necessary. With some help from donors, the university was able to provide Jeong a scholarship to finish her senior year. She says she could hardly believe her ears when she heard about the scholarship.
Jeong says she sees her talent as a "little gift," one she graciously shares with the NIU community every chance she gets. She is featured in the newest foundation Student Star video, part of a series that features students who are doing exceptional things at Northern.
The talented, grateful performer is looking forward to singing at the NIU Foundation 2012 Red and Black.
Jeong says she wants to give back to those who have helped her along the way. After all, she adds, "This school gave me a miracle."

Lacrosse heads are one of the most varied pieces of equipment. A good women's lacrosse head can make a huge difference in a player's game. A female beginner can handle a higher-end head. Higher-end heads allow women to have more of a pocket which makes it easier to catch. The higher-end heads also have a better scoop, which makes picking up ground balls easier.
The same equipment is used for women playing attack or defense. Goalie equipment is position specific.
Lacrosse shafts come in a variety of colors, shapes and textures. Like most high-end sports equipment, you are paying more for higher strength and/or less weight. Shafts are made from either a metal or a composite material. Since the women's game has less contact than the men's game, the strength of the shaft is often less important. Usually the weight, grip and texture are more important to the player.
Players use a 30-31.5" length shaft. goalies generally use a men's attack length shaft.

COVID VaccinesReturn to WorkMental Health
Health ·COVID-19 vaccines
J&J says COVID booster dose provides 100% protection against severe disease
BYRobert Langreth and Bloomberg
September 21, 2021, 11:30 AM UTC
A booster dose of Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine provided 100% protection against severe disease when given two months after the first inoculation, according to widely anticipated data that suggests it increases the potency of the one-time shot.
The booster was 94% effective at preventing symptomatic COVID infections in the U.S. portion of the Phase III trial, and 75% effective overall when it was given 56 days after the initial dose, the company said in a statement. A second study found the additional shot spurred a 12-fold increase in production of antibodies against COVID when it was given six months after the first.
The results come as many developed nations turn to booster shots to address waning protection from some vaccines and the rise of the more infectious Delta variant, which is sparking new outbreaks globally. The move has raised questions about the level of protection afforded by the existing shots and the equitable distribution of the vaccines now available.
"Our single-shot vaccine generates strong immune responses and long-lasting immune memory," said Mathai Mammen, global head of research and development for Johnson & Johnson's Janssen drug unit, in the statement. "When a booster of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine is given, the strength of protection against COVID-19 further increases."
The time period between the initial vaccine and the booster shot was significant, the research showed. When the second dose was given two months after the first shot, it triggered a four-to-six fold increase in antibody levels—less than the 12-fold gain seen when it was given six months after the initial injection.
Most vaccinated Americans have received the potent two-dose messenger RNA vaccines made by Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE, or Moderna Inc., with a smaller group getting J&J's single shot inoculation.
Booster Decision
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is nearing a decision on whether to authorize a third shot of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for vulnerable people who have already received the normal two-dose schedule. On Sept. 17, a panel of FDA advisers rejected Pfizer's proposal to broadly recommend a third dose, and instead voted in favor of only giving it to people at high risk, including those 65 and older. The agency, which doesn't have to abide by the panel's advice, is expected to make a decision within days.
Moderna, which also makes a two-dose mRNA vaccine for COVID, has applied to the FDA for emergency authorization of its COVID-19 booster shot. The agency is expected to consider the application in the coming weeks.
That has left the smaller number of U.S residents who received the J&J vaccine, which proved less effective than the mRNA shots in clinical trials, waiting for clarity on whether they too will need boosters, and if so—when.
Separately in its statement, J&J said that a single dose of its vaccine provided strong protection that remained stable through July. The real world study compared 390,000 people in the U.S. given J&J's shot to 1.5 million who were unvaccinated.
The immunization reduced hospitalizations by 81% and infections by 79%, the company said. There was no evidence the protection ebbed over time, including after the delta variant came to dominate the U.S. outbreak, it said.
J&J has provided the available data to U.S. regulators and plans to submit it to regulators elsewhere as well as the World Health Organization.

FOOTBALL fans are being ripped off by clubs if they pay for season tickets in monthly instalments, researchers say.
Top teams including Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United charge sky-high interest rates and hefty admin fees.
Huddersfield are the worst offenders in the Premier League with 16 per cent APR, which includes a £17 admin fee for fans paying for their ticket over 10 months.
The rate is nearly double charged on a typical personal loan from a high street lender.
Chelsea charge 13.3 per cent APR including a £30 fee for a £750 ticket, while Liverpool fans pay 12.4 per cent with a £36 fee for a £685 ticket.
A season ticket at Manchester United costs £532 and the club charges 10.6 per cent APR including a £30 fee.
But fans of some lower league teams are being hit even harder.
The Championship's Preston North End charges its supporters 36.3 per cent APR — which is the highest rate in English football.
Bradford City have the highest rate in League One at 28.5 per cent.
In League Two, Mansfield Town, Newport County and Notts County all charge 22.7 per cent.
The study by credit report provider Noddle.co.uk reveals that 32 per cent of fans pay for season tickets in monthly instalments.
Just over half of supporters say they have been priced out of attending games altogether and three-quarters believe that season tickets are over-priced.
Half of fans think charging interest on season ticket payments should be banned.
Seven Premier League teams — Brighton, Burnley, Crystal Palace, Leicester, Manchester City, Newcastle and Watford — charge no fees and zero interest.
West Ham also charge zero interest, however there is an application fee - either £30 if paying over four months or 6 per cent of the season ticket price if over 10 months.
According to Martin Lewis's Money Saving Expert website, lenders are charging as little as 2.8 per cent APR on personal loans above £7,500.
The best deal on a £1,000 loan is at 9.5 per cent, according to the website.
The average overdraft rate is 19.72 per cent and the average credit card rate is 23.1 per cent.

description of heat
Although heat flows spontaneously from a hotter body to a cooler one, it is possible to construct a heat pump which expends work to transfer energy from a colder body to a hotter body. This should not be confused with a time derivative of a function of state (which can also be written with the dot notation) since heat is not a function of state. Lebon, G., Jou, D., Casas-Vázquez, J. (1991). Such facts, sometimes called 'anomalous', are some of the reasons for the thermodynamic definition of absolute temperature. [59][60] Precise and detailed versions of it were developed in the nineteenth century.[61]. It has not been possible to define non-equilibrium entropy, as a simple number for a whole system, in a clearly satisfactory way. There are important exceptions. Jones, Andrew Zimmerman. Particles have more energy at higher temperatures, and as this energy is transferred from one system to another, the fast-moving particles will collide with slower moving particles. [15] Adding heat will increase a body's temperature while removing heat will lower the temperature, thus changes in temperature are the result of the presence of heat, or conversely, the lack of heat. Lieb, E.H., Yngvason, J. Although Carathéodory himself did not state such a definition, following his work it is customary in theoretical studies to define heat, Q, to the body from its surroundings, in the combined process of change to state Y from the state O, as the change in internal energy, ΔUY, minus the amount of work, W, done by the body on its surrounds by the adiabatic process, so that Q = ΔUY − W. In this definition, for the sake of conceptual rigour, the quantity of energy transferred as heat is not specified directly in terms of the non-adiabatic process. Heat intolerance =: is a form of temperature sensitivity. Greven, A., Keller, G., Warnecke (editors) (2003). This can take the form of transferring energy from a warm object to a cooler object. A vital-microscopic description of heat effects Int J Oral Surg. Convection may be described as the combined effects of conduction and fluid flow. Dr. Heidi Fowler answered. with V the volume of the system, which is a state variable. In the former case we can conceive the constituent particles of heated bodies to be, either in whole or in part, in a state of motion. Heat from Earth's interior generates surface phenomena such as lava flows, geysers, fumaroles, hot springs, and mud pots.The heat is produced mainly by the radioactive decay of potassium, thorium, and uranium in Earth's crust and mantle and also by friction generated along the margins of continental plates. To do this, heat pumps, as opposed to boilers , use a small amount of electricity but they often achieve a 200-600% efficiency rate , as the amount of heat produced is markedly higher than the energy consumed. [28] In 1845, Joule published a paper entitled The Mechanical Equivalent of Heat, in which he specified a numerical value for the amount of mechanical work required to "produce a unit of heat". The theory of classical thermodynamics matured in the 1850s to 1860s. Then the work reservoir does work on the working body, adding more to its internal energy, making it hotter than the hot reservoir. Then the ice and the water are said to constitute two phases within the 'body'. This view is widely taken as the practical one, quantity of heat being measured by calorimetry. Also, over a certain temperature range, ice contracts on heating. In general, most bodies expand on heating. As the cooler air falls, it can be drawn into our heating systems which will again allow the faster particles to heat up the air. A heat sink is a device that incorporates a fan or another mechanism to reduce the temperature of a hardware component (e.g., processor).There are two heat sink types: active and passive. kinetic energy. Transfer, between bodies, of energy as work is a complementary way of changing internal energies. That is why it could be used for the measurement. The general description and classification from the process engineering point of view can be found in , , however, these are not adequate for use in the development of sophisticated computer programmes.Heat exchangers can be very complicated, and … The target reservoir may be regarded as leaking: when the target leaks hotness to the surroundings, heat pumping is used; when the target leaks coldness to the surroundings, refrigeration is used. This form of energy also plays a vital role in nature. According to heat definition, it is one of the essential forms of energy for the survival of life on earth.Transfer of heat takes place from one body to another due to difference in temperature as per thermodynamics. More simply put, heat energy, also called thermal energy or simply heat, is transferred from one location to another by particles bouncing into each other. Then the non-adiabatic component is a process of energy transfer through the wall that passes only heat, newly made accessible for the purpose of this transfer, from the surroundings to the body. In an 1847 lecture entitled On Matter, Living Force, and Heat, James Prescott Joule characterized the terms latent heat and sensible heat as components of heat each affecting distinct physical phenomena, namely the potential and kinetic energy of particles, respectively. A single cycle starts with the working body colder than the cold reservoir, and then energy is taken in as heat by the working body from the cold reservoir. A calorimeter is a body in the surroundings of the system, with its own temperature and internal energy; when it is connected to the system by a path for heat transfer, changes in it measure heat transfer. It is not a thermometric material in the usual sense of the word. A Scientific Way to Define Heat Energy. Another commonly considered model is the heat pump or refrigerator. GENERAL INFORMATION Dear Customer: You have selected a high-quality Heat Interface Unit (HIU) for your domestic hot water (DHW) needs. The second law of thermodynamics, on the other hand, assures us that such processes are not found in nature. Br. Before the development of the laws of thermodynamics, heat was measured by changes in the states of the participating bodies. Detailed knowledge of the temperature field is very important in thermal conduction through materials. In these circumstances, if perchance it happens that no transfer of matter is actualized, and there are no cross-effects, then the thermodynamic concept and the mechanical concept coincide, as if one were dealing with closed systems. Diatomic gases such as hydrogen display some temperature dependence, and triatomic gases (e.g., carbon dioxide) still more. It relies on temperature as one of its primitive concepts, and used in calorimetry. As an amount of energy (being transferred), the SI unit of heat is the joule (J). Heat is the transfer of kinetic energy from one medium or object to another, or from an energy source to a medium or object. Since hot air is less dense than cold air, it will rise. The heavy air hangs close around sticky skin and suffuses the atmosphere with a lethargy that's come to define the Southern identity. A group of professional bank robbers start to feel the heat from police when they unknowingly leave a clue at their latest heist. This alternative approach to the definition of quantity of energy transferred as heat differs in logical structure from that of Carathéodory, recounted just above. . 18:147, 1985. The conventional symbol used to represent the amount of heat transferred in a thermodynamic process is Q. Before the rigorous mathematical definition of heat based on Carathéodory's 1909 paper, The heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body. Work transfers between the working body and the work reservoir are envisaged as reversible, and thus only one work reservoir is needed. The temperature of two systems is the same when the systems are in thermal equilibrium. [76][77][78] For example, Truesdell writes about classical thermodynamics: "At each time, the body is assigned a real number called the temperature. That is to say, the relation 'is not colder than' between general non-equilibrium physical systems is not transitive, whereas, in contrast, the relation 'has no lower a temperature than' between thermodynamic systems in their own states of internal thermodynamic equilibrium is transitive. Referring to conduction, Partington writes: "If a hot body is brought in conducting contact with a cold body, the temperature of the hot body falls and that of the cold body rises, and it is said that a quantity of heat has passed from the hot body to the cold body." For the precise definition of heat, it is necessary that it occur by a path that does not include transfer of matter.[8]. In this case, the integral specifies a quantity of heat transferred at constant pressure. The distinction between heat and temperature is subtle but very important. The discipline of heat transfer, typically considered an aspect of mechanical engineering and chemical engineering, deals with specific applied methods by which thermal energy in a system is generated, or converted, or transferred to another system. A cyclic process leaves the working body in an unchanged state, and is envisaged as being repeated indefinitely often. Easier said than done, but definitely doable. (2003). If, however, the convection is enclosed and circulatory, then it may be regarded as an intermediary that transfers energy as heat between source and destination bodies, because it transfers only energy and not matter from the source to the destination body.[12]. The generic meaning of "heat", even in classical thermodynamics, is just "thermal energy". I can't think of one that is descriptive enough or has decent words instead of saying it is plain old "hot out." Heat transfer is generally described as including the mechanisms of heat conduction, heat convection, thermal radiation, but may include mass transfer and heat in processes of phase changes. For convenience one may say that the adiabatic component was the sum of work done by the body through volume change through movement of the walls while the non-adiabatic wall was temporarily rendered adiabatic, and of isochoric adiabatic work. Andrew Zimmerman Jones is a science writer, educator, and researcher. The sense of feeling excessively overheated as the surrounding temperature rises. They make it clear that empirical definitions of temperature are contingent on the peculiar properties of particular thermometric substances, and are thus precluded from the title 'absolute'. [73][74][75], If a physical system is inhomogeneous or very rapidly or irregularly changing, for example by turbulence, it may be impossible to characterize it by a temperature, but still there can be transfer of energy as heat between it and another system. Heat that is released into the surroundings is written as a negative quantity (Q < 0). Like the internal energy, the enthalpy stated as a function of its natural variables is a thermodynamic potential and contains all thermodynamic information about a body. It consists of four bodies: the working body, the hot reservoir, the cold reservoir, and the work reservoir. In classical thermodynamics, a commonly considered model is the heat engine. He is the co-author of "String Theory for Dummies. But such shrinkage is irreversible. It is as a component of internal energy. [53] It follows that there is no well-founded definition of quantities of energy transferred as heat or as work associated with transfer of matter. Specific Heat Capacity Definition Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance per unit of mass. The transfer of energy as heat is assumed to take place across an infinitesimal temperature difference, so that the system element and its surroundings have near enough the same temperature T. Then one writes, The second law for a natural process asserts that. Heart Definition. RE Krieger Publishing Company.

For example, water contracts on being heated near 277 K. It cannot be used as a thermometric substance near that temperature. A refrigerator transfers heat, from the cold reservoir as the target, to the resource or surrounding reservoir. This formula can be re-written so as to express a definition of quantity of energy transferred as heat, based purely on the concept of adiabatic work, if it is supposed that ΔU is defined and measured solely by processes of adiabatic work: The thermodynamic work done by the system is through mechanisms defined by its thermodynamic state variables, for example, its volume V, not through variables that necessarily involve mechanisms in the surroundings. (2008). I think I over used wintry weather so far, So I'm brainstorming about how to describe a hot summer day. By the Carathéodory way it is presupposed as known from experiment that there actually physically exist enough such adiabatic processes, so that there need be no recourse to calorimetry for measurement of quantity of energy transferred as heat. Speculation on thermal energy or "heat" as a separate form of matter has a long history, see caloric theory, phlogiston and fire (classical element). Again there are four bodies: the working body, the hot reservoir, the cold reservoir, and the work reservoir. A collaboration between Nicolas Clément and Sadi Carnot (Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire) in the 1820s had some related thinking near the same lines. But if I get a good and meaningful one, I'll give you five stars. If a system has a physical state that is regular enough, and persists long enough to allow it to reach thermal equilibrium with a specified thermometer, then it has a temperature according to that thermometer. In thermodynamics, heat is energy in transfer to or from a thermodynamic system, by mechanisms other than thermodynamic work or transfer of matter. 'Heat the olive oil in a large stock pot over medium heat and add the sausage.' 'In a large skillet or sauté pan, warm the olive oil over high heat, almost to the smoking point.' 'Reduce heat and add the coconut milk a little at a time, stirring continuously until creamy.' Retrieved from https://www.thoughtco.com/heat-energy-definition-and-examples-2698981. The other macroscopic approach is the thermodynamic one, which admits heat as a primitive concept, which contributes, by scientific induction[50] to knowledge of the law of conservation of energy. 1 doctor answer. Just as temperature may be undefined for a sufficiently inhomogeneous system, so also may entropy be undefined for a system not in its own state of internal thermodynamic equilibrium. specific heat synonyms, specific heat pronunciation, specific heat translation, English dictionary definition of specific heat. Writing is an account of how people think. One might to try to think narrowly of heat flux driven purely by temperature gradient as a conceptual component of diffusive internal energy flux, in the thermodynamic view, the concept resting specifically on careful calculations based on detailed knowledge of the processes and being indirectly assessed. Heat definition is - to become warm or hot. Thus, The total change of entropy in the system and surroundings is thus. John Tyndall's Heat Considered as Mode of Motion (1863) was instrumental in popularising the idea of heat as motion to the English-speaking public. He described latent energy as the energy possessed via a distancing of particles where attraction was over a greater distance, i.e. A heat pump transfers heat, to the hot reservoir as the target, from the resource or surrounding reservoir. Likewise, with a well-defined pressure, P, behind the moving boundary, the work differential, δW, and the pressure, P, combine to form the exact differential. For other uses, see, Reif (1965): Hatsopoulos, G.N., & Keenan, J.H. The theory was developed in academic publications in French, English and German. Heat transfer arises from temperature gradients or differences, through the diffuse exchange of microscopic kinetic and potential particle energy, by particle collisions and other interactions. All of these, the commonest cases, fit with a rule that heating can be measured by changes of state of a body. Many homes are heated through the convection process, which transfers heat energy through gases or liquids. In contrast, the Carathéodory way recounted just above does not use calorimetry or temperature in its primary definition of quantity of energy transferred as heat. From the second law of thermodynamics follows that in a spontaneous transfer of heat, in which the temperature of the system is different from that of the surroundings: For purposes of mathematical analysis of transfers, one thinks of fictive processes that are called reversible, with the temperature T of the system being hardly less than that of the surroundings, and the transfer taking place at an imperceptibly slow rate. Use of "heat" as an abbreviated form of the specific concept of "quantity of energy transferred as heat" led to some terminological confusion by the early 20th century. Bailyn also distinguishes the two macroscopic approaches as the mechanical and the thermodynamic. It is supposed that such work can be assessed accurately, without error due to friction in the surroundings; friction in the body is not excluded by this definition. Nevertheless, the thermodynamic definition of absolute temperature does make essential use of the concept of heat, with proper circumspection. But only once. The structure of the heart. "[46], Referring to radiation, Maxwell writes: "In Radiation, the hotter body loses heat, and the colder body receives heat by means of a process occurring in some intervening medium which does not itself thereby become hot. In a sense, it uses heat transfer to produce work. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] The various mechanisms of energy transfer that define heat are stated in the next section of this article. When heat is absorbed from the surroundings, it is written as a positive value (Q > 0). That internal energy difference is supposed to have been measured in advance through processes of purely adiabatic transfer of energy as work, processes that take the system between the initial and final states. Heat capacity is a physical property of a substance, which means that it depends on the state and properties of the substance under consideration. — Daniel Jos. In a heat engine, the working body is at all times colder than the hot reservoir and hotter than the cold reservoir. the quantity, harvnb error: no target: CITEREFGuggenheim,_E.A._(1949/1967) (. refers to (the human perception of) either thermal energy or temperature. If, in contrast, the process is natural, and can really occur, with irreversibility, then there is entropy production, with dSuncompensated > 0. the condition or quality of being hot: the heat of an oven. ˙ Heat pump definition is - an apparatus for heating or cooling (such as a building) by transferring heat by mechanical means from or to an external reservoir (such as the ground, water, or outside air). [51] The thermodynamic view was taken by the founders of thermodynamics in the nineteenth century. Moreover, many substances can exist in metastable states, such as with negative pressure, that survive only transiently and in very special conditions. However, in many applied fields in engineering the British thermal unit (BTU) and the calorie are often used. This was the only available more or less reliable method of measurement of temperatures above 1000 °C. It is defined through knowledge of precisely two variables, the change of internal energy and the amount of adiabatic work done, for the combined process of change from the reference state O to the arbitrary state Y. Heat in Thermodynamics. As the heat is added to the room, the temperature rises. Showing all 5 items Jump to: Summaries (4) Synopsis (1) Summaries. ", Sign Conventions for Heat Energy Transfer. The thermal c … Thermal injury to bone. The transferred heat is measured by changes in a body of known properties, for example, temperature rise, change in volume or length, or phase change, such as melting of ice. which is the second law of thermodynamics for closed systems. To describe the heat capacity, the in-house software on the base of commercial one DELPHI-7 was used with a 95% confidence level. In particular they do not allow the passage of energy as heat. The process function Q was introduced by Rudolf Clausius in 1850. The hot working body passes heat to the hot reservoir, but still remains hotter than the cold reservoir. verb (used with object) Temperature. Such a process may be a phase transition, such as the melting of ice or the boiling of water.[68][69]. Heat has always been confused with … [62] It is possible for macroscopic thermodynamic work to alter the occupation numbers without change in the values of the system energy levels themselves, but what distinguishes transfer as heat is that the transfer is entirely due to disordered, microscopic action, including radiative transfer. Heat is the sum of the kinetic energy of atoms or molecules. James Clerk Maxwell in his 1871 Theory of Heat outlines four stipulations for the definition of heat: The process function Q is referred to as Wärmemenge by Clausius, or as "amount of heat" in translation.

Commissioner Woodcock responds to fisheries stocking/access concerns
June 27, 2016 Dept of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife News, Fishing
Concerns raised by me in my May 27 column, and those raised by readers of that column that I shared with you and DIF&W Commissioner Chandler Woodcock on June 8, are being discussed by the agency.
At least, that's what Chandler told me in an emailed response. Here's what he had to say:
I will discuss with Fisheries-the stocking of public waters is an important aspect of the management of our fisheries. Our regions differ somewhat due to Maine's climate. In most years, the southern portion of the state has a much longer season than the northern tier. Access to waters becomes both an open water and an ice fishing discussion as the types of access vary considerably according to the season.
The fish stocking discussion has been ongoing and will continue to be addressed. I am certain that there are waters where the public feels that our stocking is either inadequate or completely lacking. In my time here at MDIFW, I have been involved in many discussions focused on particular bodies of water and stocking. That will continue to be the case. Considering the number of waters in the state, I feel that our biologists and hatchery division do an exceptional job of supplying the public's fish through our stocking program, which is often discussed and frequently reviewed.
I appreciate your concerns and want to offer, as I have on several occasions privately and publically, that your fishing expeditions usually result in many fish still being available for me to catch!!
Thank you.- Chan
Chandler does love to make fun of my fishing. And I'm glad that, after six years at the helm of DIF&W, he still has a sense of humor!
If we get a response to the concerns and issues raised on specific waters sent to me by readers, I will let you know.
Today, I'm going to share with you, and with Chandler, three more issues and concerns raised by readers of the two previous columns on fisheries access and stocking issues.
Bob Lorenze
Just a thought, and probably my ignorance is showing. But shouldn't lakes and ponds which are not even fished get some stocking? I'm thinking that more than people are fishing in our bodies of water and as a sportsman one would hope to see healthy vibrant bird and other animal species communities. I would think key incubator areas are already known and some effort should be taken to ensure an abundant supply of fish for them as well.
Henry Ville
I had a question about access. The studmill road is gated for usually about the first month of the open water season. There are many waters in that area that are stocked by the state. Yet there are many key holders to the gates that go in and fish while the rest are not allowed to fish these waters. I have asked legislators if this was right or fair not having equal access. Here is a reply that I received from the secretary of state. It was an insult.
Lance Mattatall
I live on Highland Lake in Windham. Our lake was hit with this policy, and our stocking canceled a few years ago, due to "Non-equitable" boat launch issues. We have been stocked for years, and we have a carry in boat launch. IFW owns this boat launch, but it happens to be in Falmouth, and the people that live on that side of lake do not want to expand this launch. Francis has explained to me that the state could, but doesn't want, to make this a trailer able launch. They don't want to be seen as "Big Brother".

Bulls Sign Alfonzo McKinnie With Hardship Exception
McKinnie becomes the second player the Bulls have added via the hardship exception.
Matt Berklan
Photo: NBA.com
The Bulls continue to deal with a COVID outbreak that has affected Derrick Jones Jr., Matt Thomas, Javonte Green, Coby White, and DeMar DeRozan. The Bulls have called up Marko Simonovic, Devon Dotson, and Tyler Cook from the G-League. The team also signed Stanley Johnson to a 10-day deal. But that still is not enough to cover the missing spots. The Bulls have now signed Alfonzo McKinnie thanks to the hardship exception.
The Chicago Bulls are signing veteran G/F Alfonzo McKinnie via hardship exemption, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. McKinnie has played for NBA G League's Mexico City Capitanes this season, averaging 24.1 PPG and 43.3 percent from 3-point range.
— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) December 10, 2021
The hardship exception is a temporary roster spot that must be granted by the league. It allows a team to exceed the 15-man maximum roster when it has at least four players who are sick or injured for longer than two weeks. Each of the four sick or injured players must miss at least three consecutive games during their two-week absence. An independent physician, not the team's doctor, must decide whether each player is required to miss two weeks. Regarding COVID, this policy has been supper helpful to teams dealing with outbreaks.
McKinnie, who hails from Chicago, has played for the G League's Mexico City Capitanes. He has been averaging 24.1 points per game and 43.3% shooting from three. He has also appeared in 165 NBA games with the Raptors, Warriors, Cavaliers, and Lakers in each of the previous four seasons.
If McKinnie can perform well enough, he could earn a bench role once Tyler Cook, Devon Dotson, and Marko Simonovic return to the Windy City Bulls.

Movies Reviews The Hunger Games
Suzanne Collins' futuristic dystopian society comes to life in the long-awaited debut of The Hunger Games. But it's Jennifer Lawrence's performance as Katniss Everdeen, the 16-year-old protagonist who unapologetically puts her life on the line to save her sister and challenge the twisted logic of the government, that will singlehandedly launch what should prove to be the next inescapable book-turned-movie franchise.
Fans of the books won't be disappointed. With few exceptions, director Gary Ross doesn't veer too far from Collins' novel. It's rare that a film based on a Young Adult novel is able to juggle so many powerful issues so profoundly, but Ross finds a way to translate Collins' imaginative plots into a visually triumphant, emotional roller coaster of economic struggle, class warfare, politics, sacrifice, independent thinking and rebellion without compromising too much of the original manuscript.
A cruel punishment for a past uprising, the Hunger Games are a nationally televised fight to the death where two teenagers from each district are forced to battle for their lives. Katniss Everdeen, a citizen of District 12, volunteers as tribute to replace her young sister (who had been initially selected). In the Arena, where the event takes place, Katniss soon learns her emotions are as turbulent as the Games themselves and that she'll have to choose between survival and love if she wants to make it home.
Woody Harrelson, Lenny Kravitz, Elizabeth Banks, Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland and Wes Bentley all offer strong supporting performances as various citizens of Panem. But none rival Jennifer Lawrence's emotional portrayal of Katniss, who is desperate to find a shred of humanity in a society terrorized by this gruesome tradition.
As Haymitch, the only living Hunger Games victor from District 12, Harrelson offers comic relief to the anxiety of Katniss and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson). An arrogant drunk, it's clear to see that Haymitch has never fully recovered from the horror of the Games. Harrelson manages to dole out believable enough advice to Katniss and Peeta, letting a few heartwarming touches (like his tendency to call Katniss "sweetheart") and one-liners (often at Effie's expense) slip through the curtain of shaggy blonde hair that surrounds his face.
Lenny Kravitz's depiction of Cinna, Katniss' stylist for the Hunger Games, is more about confidence than it is about fashion. By creating two unforgettable outfits in which Katniss appears to be engulfed in flames, Cinna is able to stir up his tribute's inner workings. Kravitz's performance comes across as more confidante than stylist. Dressed in black throughout the film, the only part of Kravitz that stands out is the glimmering gold eyeliner that permanently graces his eyelids.
Sporting a poof of electric blue hair, Stanley Tucci plays Caesar Flickerman, the cackling host responsible for interviewing each tribute. Even as he parades around teenagers who are destined to die, Flickerman's personality is simply infectious, and even the tributes themselves can't help but laugh. Tucci's Flickerman is more than entertainment: His performance serves as a mirror to present day society. It's easier to notice how consumed our society is with the twenty-four hour news cycle and reality television when it's portrayed by comical, candy-colored characters like Flickerman. Regardless of the topic—be it a government-mandated teenage bloodbath or a televised wedding—if it's packaged well enough and served to audiences with a wink and a smile, viewers seem to obsess over it … and Tucci's performance captures just that.
Marquee names and talents aside, it is Lawrence's performance that separates The Hunger Games from other Young Adult novels with cult followings. Her embodiment of Collins' complex character is more than a testament to her ability as an actress; it will be what cements her career as a Hollywood heavyweight.
While she earned an Oscar nod for her role in Winter's Bone (2010), Lawrence's emotional range in The Hunger Games cannot be ignored. She's as equally captivating lunging for a piece of bread as she is placing a kiss on the forehead of a murdered tribute. Even in subtle instances, like when she pulls back the arrow to kill her latest prey and it gently grazes her lips, Lawrence embodies Collins' description of Katniss, and that should keep audiences raving about her performances for weeks after the film has left the theaters.
Throughout the entire 142 minutes of this film, Lawrence's intensity on relaying Katniss' strength and loyalty is unwavering. She has forged a connection with the courage present in every page and every scene of The Hunger Games, and in turn, she's created an unforgettable character who leaps off the screen and into moviegoers' hearts.

I'm all up-to-date with my iMovie/slideshow software and I'm still having trouble. Pictures that are sharp in iPhoto (or any other program such as Aperture, Lightroom, Photoshop CS2, etc) lose their sharpness when added to iMovie and then burned to disk with iDVD. It seems that after a transition, the following picture is fuzzy and with a half second left to its time on the screen, the picture snaps into focus. It's almost like the picture is displayed with big pixels and then moves to very small pixels.
I get "iMovie stills are fuzzy!" email a lot, so let's deal with it once and for all. Yes, iMovie stills are fuzzy. Regrettably, it's the nature of the beast. Images that are crisp when viewed in their native format and resolution get funky (and not in the desirable James Brown kind of way, but rather in an uncool Pat Boone kind of way). This is because iMovie has to convert these images to DV format and, quite likely, changes their resolution in the process. The results are not always pleasing.
Also, that out-and-into focus effect you're seeing is often the result of a transition. Dissolves, for example, can cause this. To help avoid it, use a clean cut—one without a transition—between stills.
There are a couple things you can do to improve those images (or, at least, your perception of them). The first is to make sure that iMovie's Playback preference is configured to show you the highest quality preview. (Go to iMovie -> Preferences -> Playback and enable the Highest option to make that happen.) When this preference is set to Standard or High, your stills are going to look this-close-to-terrible when you click iMovie's Preview button. Choosing this option doesn't make the movie look any better when it's exported, but it does give you a more realistic notion of what the results will look like once you export the movie.
So much for perception, let's talk reality. Your stills will look better in the finished product if those images are at least 640-by-480. Anything less, and iMovie blows up the images to make them fit the frame, which leads to big pixelation.
Apple suggests that if your iMovie titles or stills appear pixelated that you export your movie using QuickTime's Expert Settings rather than sending it directly to iDVD using the Share -> iDVD command.
Specifically, choose Share -> QuickTime, choose Expert Settings from the Compress Movie For pop-up menu, click Share, and in the resulting Save Exported File As dialog box, choose Movie to MPEG-4 from the Export pop-up menu and LAN/Intranet from the Use pop-up menu and click Save. Once you've saved the movie, you can drag it into an iDVD project to add it.
But honestly, here's the truth of it: To produce the best looking slideshows in iDVD, use iDVD to create them. In iDVD choose Project -> Add Slideshow and double-click the My Slideshow entry that appears in your project's main screen. In the screen that reads Drag Images Here, do exactly what it says—either by selecting and dragging images from the Media Browser or dragging images from the Finder into the window.

The Original IPod Prototype – Apple Mission to Conceal
A prototype of the original iPod, wow follow me on this article and read down. It's hard to believe that the prototype for the original iPod is something that you can't even fit into your pocket.
Panic, a software development group for macOS and iOS, dredged up the prototype for the original iPod something that Apple probably never wanted to see again in honor of the iPod's 20th anniversary (via 9to5Mac).
The Original iPod Prototype
The yellow, brick-like device is dated September 3rd, 2001, almost two months before the iPod's actual release date on October 23rd.
According to the verge, the prototype is several times larger than the iPod we all know and love and has a scroll wheel in its top-left corner, along with a tiny screen in the top-right. Other clunky navigation buttons line the side of the device.
Apples Mission to Conceal
Apple's mission to conceal its design is also the reason behind the massive amount of space on the inside of the device. The layout of its internals is closer to the size of the official iPod, but Apple just decided to give it a clunky get-up to hide its design secrets, both on the inside and out.
We've seen other Apple prototypes in the past, but nothing looks as silly as this. A second-generation iPod popped up on eBay in 2017, and the seller wanted nearly $100,000.
Even the iPod Touch prototype looks close to the finished product. More recently, a prototype for the never-released VideoPad 2 popped up and is set to be auctioned off in November.
The original iPod prototype, however, is definitely one of a kind. It's a testament to Apple's dedication to keeping its design classified, which was especially important for the launch of its very first iPod.
The First Generation IPod Prototype
You've probably seen multiple photos and videos of prototype Apple products floating around the internet, and some of them are quite interesting as they reveal features that were scrapped from the final devices.
The stories behind these prototypes are usually unknown, but 9to5Mac has been able to learn more about a specific prototype of a first-generation iPod touch that was built before the iPhone was even introduced.
Zompetti says that this iPod is one of the prototypes that he never wants to sell, as he considers it a special device. First, it is impressive how preserved this iPod is.

Dr. C here. You know, I'm really blessed to be part of an incredible team. Our newest member is Dr. Lauren Beardsley. She's married to Dr. Saman Rezaie (sorry ladies).
Like me, Dr. Beardsley also got into medicine due to her own symptoms. Now she knows they stem from her Hashimoto's disease and, since it started with her own needs, she has become adept at helping others with it.

Northern Powerhouse Minister Andrew Percy today signed an agreement to make Lancashire LEP the first Local Enterprise Partnership to officially become a Northern Powerhouse 'partner'.
At an event held at Burnley FC's Turf Moor stadium today, Mr Percy called on other businesses to pledge their support to the Northern Powerhouse to promote jobs, growth and prosperity across the region.
It comes as new figures today show that across the North, nine Enterprise Zones have attracted £1.3bn of private sector investment over the past four years and around 9,000 jobs. The original nine Zones are in Daresbury, the Humber, Lancashire, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, the North East and Tees Valley.
Eight more Enterprise Zones are now just to start across the North by April 2017.
"Building the Northern Powerhouse is central to our plans to create an economy that works for everyone.
"We're backing the North with the investment and powers it needs to fulfil its huge untapped potential and I'm pleased to see businesses here, working alongside the Lancashire LEP, are pledging their support.
By becoming a Northern Powerhouse Partner, Lancashire LEP has joined more than 30 other firms that who have signed up by pledging their support. This network champion the North's strengths, as well as promoting jobs and growth.
With record investments in transport, strong support for science and infrastructure schemes, and more than £2.8bn invested into locally determined projects through Growth Deals – the North is thriving.
Enterprise Zones are at the heart of this success and are centres of excellence – offering world-class infrastructure alongside financial incentives to help businesses grow.
Businesses moving to an Enterprise Zones also benefit from a range of tax breaks and local support, such as simplified planning, to help them grow – including business rate discounts worth up to £275,000 per business over five years.
Due to their success the government established five new Zones in the North in April, with three more due to start in April 2017, bringing the region's total to 17.
Two of the new Zones created this year are in Lancashire, the new Blackpool Airport and Hillhouse EZs. Today at a ceremony in Blackpool, the Minister signed a Memorandum of Understanding with local partners to help accelerate development of the new Zones.


No decision has yet been made by the EU Commission on the applications for authorisation made by the CTACsub Consortium for the continued use of chromium trioxide.
However, Article 58(1)(c)(ii) of the REACH Regulation stipulates that those downstream users who are directly or indirectly supplied by the applicants will see their operations (where covered by the applications) extended beyond the expiry date until a decision has been made by the Commission.
We confirm that Dr. Hesse is a member of the CTAC consortium and was actively involved in the preparation of the applications for authorisation of chromium trioxide.
Dr. Hesse purchases chromium trioxide solely from the supply chain of the CTACsub applicants.
The processes involving chromium trioxide supplied by Dr. Hesse are covered by the applications made by the CTACsub consortium.

Okinawa, 1966 – Part 1 of 2
Memoirs / Mission Trips
In October, 1966, I made a second trip to Okinawa for a week of revival with the Central church in Naha, plus a week with The Fishers of Men in the Outer Ryukan Islands. These two weeks were filled with deeply emotional and forever-remembered experiences.
The Naha Church
The membership was mostly composed of United States military families. It was always pastored by a Baptist-appointed foreign missionary. In 1966, the church was pastored by Dwight and Anne Dudley, who were under the appointment of our Foreign Mission Board.
During our revival, the Sunday School attendance ran around 500. The attendance, from one Sunday to the next, could, and often did, drop from 500 to less than 200 if military-deployment orders suddenly came down from Washington, D. C.
The night services were attended by hundreds of the military personnel and scores of native Okinawan, who classified themselves as "members" or "seekers of the Christian way." The response of the military wives was exceptionally warm, and their eagerness to talk about "home," and to "have news from home," never dimmed.
The congregational singing of our basic old hymns extended to twice the time that is normal in a United States revival, and the congregation (both the military members and the Okinawans) were never ready for it to stop. The nightly interest and eagerness of the non-Christian Okinawans to remain after the close of the services and talk about "the Christian way" was a warm and refreshing experience. And the willingness of the military members (both husbands and wives) rto remain and talk with the "seekers" was also a warm and refreshing experience.
There were rededications, promises of letters, professions of faith, requests for prayers and requests for counseling in and after every service.
Sam Narita had been my interpreter during my first visit to Okinawa, in 1963. Soon after landing in Okinawa, I learned that Sam had moved from the University of the Ryukyus and was teaching in the University of Japan, more than 1000 miles from Naha. In the first Sunday morning service of the revival, Dwight Dudley (the pastor) read a telegram that Sam had sent for me which expressed his regrets at being unable to attend the revival.
The Okinawan Christian School
The school was founded, funded, and operated by a coalition of evangelical churches and the Far East Broadcasting Company. I spoke one day at the school's chapel (to more than 400 Chinese, Japanese, Okinawan, Filipino, Negro, Canadian, and American high school students.)
At the close of the service, the superintendent told me how difficult it was to staff the school, invited me to accept a teaching position and offered to pay my moving expenses to Okinawa. It was something that I would have enjoyed doing but, knowing my mental and emotional and scholastic limitations, I declined his invitation.
The Presidential Visit
There were two underlying reasons behind my invitation to the Ryukyuan "White House" for a 15-minute visit with President Sheiho Matsuoaka, whose official title was "Chief Executive Officer of the Ryukyus." The first reason was that our Kermit church had invested an unusually-large amount of money in the Ryukyuan Islands; in the ministry of The Fishers of Men, the kindergarten building, and the water well on Tokashika. The second reason was that the Far East Broadcasting Company (a Christian radio program that covered the Orient) had saturated the islands with repeated announcements about "the tall cowboy from Texas" who would be with the Naha church for one week, and with The Fishers of Men in the outer islands the next week.
Honoring the Oriential gift custom, I presented President Matsuoka with the horn of a Texas longhorn that had been converted into a Texas trumpet, and watched his face turn red and his eyes bulge as he tried to blow it. At the close of our visit, President Matsuoka presented me with a plaque for the Kermit church, and formally spoke the following words:"Please tell the people of your church that the Ryukyuan government is aware of and deeply grateful for what they have done for The Fishers of Men and the kindergarten on Kume Jima. I am not an enemy of Buddhism, but I have learned that Christianity is better for my people. Buddhism offers much for my people's heads, but Christianity changes my people's hearts. Please ask your people to pray for me as the Chief Executive of the Ryukyuan Islands and, also, that I may someday become a Christian." (The above words of President Matsuoka are not verbatim, but are as I remembered and wrote them in my notebook a few minutes later as we drove back toward the church."
Two days later, the Ryukan government formally recognized and publicly commended Major E. Nichols, a member of the Central church in Naha, for meritorious service in having taught a Bible class on Friday nights for the past five years.
The Kadena Village Visitors
On Saturday night of the revival, 20 members of the Kadena Village church (where I had preached in 1963) walked seven miles and rode a bus 16 miles into Naha to attend our revival. After the service, Dwight and Anne Dudley invited them into their home for a visit that lasted until near midnight. Among the Kadena visitors was Yoshiko Kiyuna, who had been my guide and interpreter in 1963, who was then married and had a 6-month-old son, and who again served as our interpreter as we visited. In my greeting to them, I was able to remember and call most of their names and mention something personal about them.
Pastor Tomari gave their response to my greeting, and closed by saying, "Little Akiko wants to pray, in English." Akiko had been 13 years old when she made her profession of faith in 1963, and had been studying and practicing speaking English for the past three years. Akiko arose and, in limited English, prayed, "Thank you, Kamisami, for our American friend who remembers our names." After about 15 minutes of wiping my tears, I was able to rejoin the party.
Tomi Chimoze was a 16-year-old believer when, in one of our revival services in 1963, he made his public commitment to become a minister. The Kermit church paid his four-year tuition through the University of the Ryukyuas. In later years, Tomi became a leader among Okinawan Baptists and, still later, a missionary in Japan.
The Christian Officers' Club
Through the influence of the military members of the Naha church, I was invited to speak at the weekly breakfast of the Christian Officers' Club. Up-toward 100 officers, from lieutenants to colonele, were in attendance. After I finished speaking, a mid-30-ish looking captain came and told me that he remembered that I had preached a revival in his home church in Texas, in 1943, when he was a young lad. I remembered the church, the revival, and the family. After returning home, I wrote his parents and included a slight paraphrase of II John 1:4, "I rejoiced greatly when I found your child walking in faith."
Back to Kume Jima
On Thursday, October 20, 1966, I returned to Kume Jima where, in 1963, dear little Yoshiko Shingaikai gathered her 50-child kindergarten under the Banyan tree. Even after 32 years have passed, I'm halfway afraid to mention that I rode to and from Kume Jima on an Air Force helicopter. My fear emanates out of our present (4-23-98) political climate, to-wit: Ifd Kenneth Starr hears the rumor that 32 years ago I accepted a free ride on an Air Force helicopter, he will subpoena me to appear before one of his federal grand juries.
Between 1963 and 1966, the Kermit church invested thousands of dollars in a building on Kume Jima that made it possible for little Yoshiko's "under-the-tree" kindergarten to become an "in-the-building" kinder-garten. On October 20, 1966, there were 65 island children present for that day's session of our Kume Jima kindergarten. My heart always grows warm and thankful each time I remember and reflect on the fact that "our" kindergarten has been meeting in that building for more than 33 years.
The Bolo Missile Site
On Kume Jima, we were luncheon guests of Major Roy D. Patrick, who was commander of the Bolo missile site. After the luncheon, we were Major Patrick's guests at the missile site, where United States' nuclear heads, poised in their congrete tombs, were pointed toward Red China. We witnessed the firing of several hawk missiles and their perfect score of searching out and destroying the "targets." Major Patrick told us that on several occasions the planes of Red China had invaded the edges of the forbidden Kerama Islands, our planes had gone up to intercept them, and orders had come from Washington, D.C., to open the nuclear silos.
Major Patrick's closing words were, "That's how close we are living." The words I wrote in my notebook were, "How terribly fascinating, and how terribly frightening!"
