FSU-Syracuse Preview
By Scott Carswell Jr on October 25, 2019 2 Comments
This Saturday Florida State will host the Syracuse Orange at 3:30 PM on ESPN2.
Syracuse is 3-4 on the season with wins over Liberty, Western Michigan and Holy Cross and losses against Maryland, Clemson, NC State and Pittsburgh.
The last time the two schools faced off, Syracuse pounded Florida State 30-7 in the Carrier Dome. FSU's last win in the series was in 2017. The Seminoles are undefeated at 5-0 against the Orange in Doak Campbell Stadium.
'Nole Notes
Receiver Ontaria Wilson suffered an injury to his shoulder/collarbone and is out for the rest of the season.
Linebacker Dontavious Jackson will miss the game due to an unspecified injury.
After getting hurt in last week's game, offensive lineman Brady Scott and Baveon Johnson will return to the lineup this weekend. It is expected that freshman Darius Washington will start at left tackle. Hopefully he can add some stability to this sore spot on the offense.
Observations from the last game
Coach Willie Taggart had another clock management blunder in the final minutes of the Wake Forest game. After the offense completed a pass to setup 4th-and-6, it looked like Taggart had a tough time figuring out whether or not he wanted to go for it. He chose not to, but his decision took to long. As the play clock was about to expire, Taggart had to call a timeout to keep from losing 5 yards. However, the damage was already done as 40 seconds had already come off the clock. Against UL-M Taggart called a timeout before a punt saving 40 seconds for the Warhawks potential game-winning drive. Every football weekend I see multiple coaches make mistakes when it comes to the clock and even Bobby Bowden struggled in this aspect of the game.
Florida State offense versus Syracuse defense
The Syracuse defense has been under fire since having Maryland drop 63 points on them in week 2. In the two weeks that followed, the defense continued to struggle, but they have found some momentum in the past couple weeks against NC State and Pittsburgh. The numbers of points given up are down, but that might be due to the fact they were facing slower paced teams.
Alton Robinson, Syracuse's most talented player, is returning to the lineup against FSU. Robinson and fellow senior Kendall Coleman were tied at the top of the ACC in sacks last season at 10 with former Seminole Brian Burns. However, this year, whether it is because of injury or lack of production, neither Robinson nor Coleman have been able to live up to last year's production.
The Orange are okay against the run, but when the pass rushers are unable to get to the quarterback the 'Cuse have had a lot of trouble against the pass. Other than the talented defensive ends, other players to look out for are linebackers Lakiem Williams and Andrew Armstrong as well as defensive tackle Josh Black. Williams, 51, and Armstrong, 50, lead the team in tackles and Black has racked up 4 sacks while Robinson has been hurt.
FSU would like to take advantage of the weak pass defense, but with their O-line problems the Seminoles will only have time to try the vertical passing game on 1st and 2nd down. On 3rd down sort passes to DJ Matthews and Cam Akers will be the way to go. Hopefully Akers can play like he did last week, sans the fumble, and keep James Blackman in manageable third down opportunities.
Florida State defense versus Syracuse offense
Once again FSU will face a team that likes to run as many plays as possible. Syracuse is 6th in the FBS in plays per game with 81.5, but they are 118th in yards per play. So the Wake game experience will help the 'Noles prepare for the 'Cuse. In that game the Seminole defense gave up its fair share of yards against Wake, but was brilliant in the redzone giving up only 1 TD in 6 tries.
Good news for the home team is that Syracuse has the worst offensive line FSU has gone up against this year. The Orange have given up 25 sacks in the last three weeks. After taking a beating in the last three games, quarterback Tommy DeVito had to be replaced by back up Clayton Welch. DeVito is regarded as the better thrower and Welch is considered the better runner, but in the second half of last week's game Welch was almost able to lead a comeback using his arm and feet. It is still yet to be determined who will be under center for the Orange, but I think it will be Welch unless DeVito is 100% healthy.
Syracuse had one of the best seasons in years due to their ability to run the football, but this year has been a struggle on the ground. They are 117th in rushing yards per contest with only 104. The only effective runner has been Moe Neal, but he has only been able to rush for 370 yards and 3 TDs on the year.
Most of the success of the offense has been through the air when they get their deep wide receiver corps involved. The Orange have seven players that have at least 11 receptions on the year. The go to receiver, Tristan Jackson, leads the team in catches (38), receiving yards (575) and receiving TDs (6). Most of the other targets are spread around to fellow receivers, Todd Harris and Sean Riley, and running backs Neal and Abdul Adams. Tight end Aaron Hackett has 16 receptions with 4 of those going for a TD. So look out for him when SU gets to the redzone.
SU's last opponent, Pittsburgh, plays a defense similar to what Harlan Barnett runs. The Panthers blitzed a lot last week so I think Barnett will be bringing extra guys as well. Outside linebackers Amari Gainer and Janarius Robinson will be used in most blitz packages and will need to get to the QB to force Syracuse off the field.
Kick off specialist/punter Sterling Hofrichter has been a force for the Syracuse special teams unit. Hofrichter has placed 19 punts inside the 20-yard line and has blasted 21 touchbacks on kickoffs.
Field-goal kicker Andre is 8/10 on field goal attempts and is only 1/3 on tries from over 40 yards. The Orange definitely have the advantage with the kickers, but if they give DJ Matthews a chance to return one he might be able to make them pay.
This game features two teams that run as many plays as possible and are in the bottom of the FBS in penalties. I expect each team to have plenty of possessions, but the score may not be that high due to the inability of either team to sustain and finish long drives.
Florida State has a slightly better defense, a game breaking running back in Cam Akers and the home-field advantage. So I think the Seminoles will manage to get a double-digit victory on homecoming. Florida State 38 Syracuse 24.

Warchant said this will be the smallest crowd for an FSU Homecoming game in 30 years. Another big blow to local business profits.
Here's a suggestion for the geniuses on the second floor at Moore:
Pick your game starting times sooner than a week before the games!!! (Still no start time for next Saturday's Miami game?)
You expect fans to stay in town three days for an insignificant game?
It's one thing to be arrogant towards the needs of your fan base when you're a Top 5 program. But when you're not in the Top 45, quite another.
Syracuse's best shot at a win this season.

A Peek at the Congressional Briefing Book on the Music Business
October 6, 2015 /0 Comments/in copyright, fair use, In the News /by Marc
On September 22, the Congressional Research Service ("CRS") of the Library of Congress, released a report, Copyright Licensing in Music Distribution, Reproduction and Public Performance (the "Report"). The Report states its purpose as follows:
This report provides an overview of the complexities of the Copyright Act's provisions concerning music licensing. It also discusses four issues involving copyrights in musical works and sound recording that have been the subject of recent congressional and judicial consideration: (1) extending copyright protection to pre-1972 sound recordings; (2) requiring radio broadcasters to compensate recording artists; (3) changing the standard used to calculate royalties for digital music transmissions; and (4) modifying antitrust consent decrees governing songwriter performance royalties.
For those of you unfamiliar with CRS, this is what it does, according to its website:
The Congressional Research Service (CRS) works exclusively for the United States Congress, providing policy and legal analysis to committees and Members of both the House and Senate, regardless of party affiliation. As a legislative branch agency within the Library of Congress, CRS has been a valued and respected resource on Capitol Hill for more than a century.
The CRS defines its mission as follows: "CRS serves the Congress throughout the legislative process by providing comprehensive and reliable legislative research and analysis that are timely, objective, authoritative and confidential, thereby contributing to an informed national legislature." Accordingly, the Report provides a briefing book for members of Congress – or at least their staffs – on the current statutory and regulatory issues shaping the music industry. So it might be interesting to know what's in it.
The 41-page report provides a dense, but useful summary of much of the statutory framework of the current music licensing landscape, including a discussion of recently introduced legislation. If this sounds somewhat familiar, it's because the Copyright Office traversed this terrain earlier this year in its comprehensive 202-page report, Copyright and the Music Marketplace, and which I summarized here. And of course, the Copyright Office, like the CRS, is also a division of the Library of Congress, although perhaps may change, as the Register of Copyrights has proposed that the Copyright Office leave the Library of Congress and become an independent agency.
In keeping with its stated purpose, the CRS Report (as well as the Copyright Office's earlier iteration) covers several key issues, including:
The Justice Department's ongoing review of the ASCAP and BMI Consent Decrees, including the issue of "partial withdrawal" of works from their respective repertoires;
The background to the Fair Pay Fair Play Act of 2015, which would mandate that traditional AM/FM radio stations pay public performance royalties on sound recordings, just like their internet streaming counterparts do, as is done in virtually every other country in the world; and
The Songwriter Equity Act of 2015, which would modify regulatory standards to have all licenses fees set by statute, as under the ASCAP and BMI Consent Decrees, to be under a "willing buyer / willing seller" standard.
The Report also refers to the Copyright Office's prior music licensing survey and its various recommendations, but does not contain any of its own.
The CRS Report provides a particularly detailed history of the current statutory framework, including case law and legislative developments, something one would expect in a Congressional briefing memo. However, in attempting to educate Congress about the relevant issues facing the music industry, the Report falls somewhat short in that there is no discussion of the music marketplace as a whole, as opposed to the particular statutory and regulatory scheme currently in place. One might think that putting the various legislative and consent decree proposals in context with the overall music marketplace would be highly relevant to Congressional consideration.
For example, there is no discussion about synchronization or "synch" licenses, which are the permissions required from both the copyright owner of the song (the music publisher(s)) and the copyright owner of the particular recording (the record label) to use a piece of recorded music in film, TV, advertising and other audio-visual uses. This significant portion of the music business is a free market, unregulated by statute or consent decree. Typically, music publishers and record labels command the same fees for synch licenses.
This is in stark contract to license fees for the distribution or downloading of recordings or the streaming of them over the internet. Both of these areas are regulated and there is a large disparity between the fees labels and artists receive as opposed to those received by publishers and songwriters. It is critically important that Congress understand the overall music licensing marketplace when considering any change in music licensing policy, including the pending legislation.

Must Be Something in the Water, Three Babies Born at the Zoo
Beth Py-Lieberman
Senior Editor, Museums
Keepers at the Zoo's Conservation and Research Center in Front Royal, VA, had their hands full last week when three different animals delivered three babies just hours apart.
First, a 3-year-old clouded leopard, named "Jao Chu" delivered another cub last Thursday at 5:30 PM. The same mother made news in March when she delivered two genetically valuable cubs (meaning they were bred from individuals outside the zoo population and so bring new genetic material to the breeding population). Jao Chu and her mate, Hannibal, are now the proud parents of three. It's difficult to breed these animals, which are native to Southeast Asia and parts of China, because unless the conditions are just right, the male will kill or maim the female instead of mating with her. Talk about ruining the mood.
Meanwhile, Brandy, a pregnant Przewalski horse had been under close scrutiny. But apparently the keepers missed the actual birth, because the next thing they knew, a foul was seen nursing at the mother's side. Bonding between mother and child, the keepers report, is going well. (Przewalski horses are extinct in the wild. Only a few hundred remain in their native China and Mongolia habitats, but only in protected areas, and the individuals were reintroduced there by researchers working on a species survival plan.)
But the cutest of them all, arrived Friday morning, July 10. A wee little thing born to "Panya," a red panda. (Red pandas are indigenous to China and are endangered in the wild because of habitat loss. There are fewer than 2,500 left in the wild). This was the fifth red panda birth at the CRC to have occured in the last three weeks. Must be something in the water.

NBA Free Agency News: Dwight Howard Ready To Take On Redemption Road With The Lakers
Photo:nationalpost.com
Howard "open" to returning to the bright lights of LA
What would Los Angeles fans feel about a potential Dwight Howard homecoming? Per Arash Markazi of The Los Angeles Times, the eight-time All-Star is pondering a return to LA to play for either the Lakers or the Clippers. Howard, 33, only played nine games for the Washington Wizards last season.
"I don't know what's going to happen, but I do love L.A. Staples Center is going to be rocking this season. When I played there it was rocking every night. The atmosphere is crazy, not just for the Lakers but the Clippers too. I just think all the hard work they've put in is paying off now. They've always been viewed as the Lakers' little brother, but they decided to stand out and be different and you have to thank guys like Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan and Chris Paul for laying the foundation for this team, and then what Doc [Rivers] has done has been great. This is just all that hard work paying off."
In an injury-marred season for him last year, Howard was still able to rack up a near double-double stat line of 12.8 points and 9.2 rebounds per game for the Wizards. As he was still recovering from a back surgery he went through late in November, Howard sustained a hamstring injury that proved to be a season-ending incident for the defensive big man.
Despite his age and his recent inactivity, Howard could still be a walking double-double machine every night. While a slot in a starting line-up is a long shot, the former Defensive Player of the Year should provide quality minutes off the bench for any team. He should still be one of the top defensive big men in the league, but Howard comes with a lot of weaknesses in his game. He is still a low-post type of offensive player, and his mid-range shooting isn't consistent at all. These characteristics of a center could pose more problems than solutions.
In 2012, Howard has the golden opportunity to be one of the greatest big men in Lakers history. He was still in his prime at that time and is coming off a productive season with the Orlando Magic in which he normed 20.6 points, 14.5 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per contest. However, his tenure with the Lakeshow lasted for just a single season as he failed to live up to the high expectations mounted on his shoulders. Along with superstars Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and Steve Nash, the Lakers started on the wrong foot by losing their first three games of the season. They still entered the playoff picture through a 45-37 record, but without an injured Kobe, the Lakers were swept by Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs. All those four losses came at double-digit gaps.
Still, Howard believes that the Lakers could be the right destination for him next season, especially now that the team already has one of the most elite rosters in the league.
"It just wasn't the right fit for me at the time. But the Lakers have been doing something right for a long time because they have the most fans in the world and the most championships over the past 40 years. You're not going to win a championship every year, but they're back and will compete for a championship next season. There's some really good teams out there and everybody wants to see how everything is going to shake out. But it's great to see teams that were struggling are back competing for a title again."
But it's still hard to imagine how Howard could fit in with the Lakers next season. The team already has a bevy of outstanding centers in Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins and JaVale McGee. The Clippers could be a better destination for Howard in terms of roster fit. With Ivica Zubac still learning the ropes of being a defensive anchor, Howard can provide him veteran mentorship while also filling in a back-up role for Zubac and Montrezl Harrell.
Westbrook didn't try to renew George's desire to stay after Kawhi recruitment
The Westbrook-Durant era in Oklahoma City officially ended when the Thunder sent Russell Westbrook to the Houston Rockets in exchange for veteran point guard Chris Paul. While the move is seen as more of a signal that marks the start of the Thunder's rebuilding process, it is also widely reported that Russ actually wanted no part of the rebuilding and was ready to move on from the only team he knew since he entered the league in 2008.
It has also become apparent that Westbrook was already hinting of a departure even before the Thunder traded Paul George to the Clippers for the latter to return to his hometown and pair up with Kawhi Leonard. With that said, ESPN's Royce Young reports that Russ didn't even try to change George's mind when he demanded a trade to the Clippers, confirming speculations that Westbrook was already thinking of a way out of Oklahoma City.
"Russell Westbrook didn't try to change Paul George's mind. That's 100 percent assured in my mind that Russell Westbrook didn't try to re-recruit Paul George. And a lot of that had to do with the fact it was Russell Westbrook's ticket out of town, as well.
Westbrook and the Thunder were stuck.
Westbrook had built his image around loyalty to Oklahoma City, especially in the wake of Kevin Durant's departure. It would have been difficult for him to request a trade without looking at least somewhat hypocritical."
Last year, George surprised everyone when he shunned the Lakers' invitation to play alongside LeBron James as the former re-signed with the Thunder and cited the dynamics of his chemistry with Westbrook as one of the strong influences for him to remain with the team. But the Thunder had little success in George's two-year stint in OKC, bouncing out of the first round of the playoffs in each of those two seasons.
With a chance to breathe in new, fresh air and compete for a title with former teammate James Harden, next season could be Westbrook's best and most efficient. His shooting percentages have gone down in the past couple of years. But with the Rockets' perimeter shooting-oriented type of game and the fact that the ball will stay mostly in the hands of Harden, Westbrook should be more than motivated to work again on his shooting, find ways to cut down his turnovers, and ultimately get used to the fact that he has to defer to Harden in most instances of games.
Would Lakers try to engage Thunder with a Chris Paul buyout scenario?
Although the Lakers have recently hinted of plans to put LeBron James in a full-time point guard role, it is already obvious that the 34-year old superstar has been doing most of the playmaking chores of his teams throughout his career. With only Rajon Rondo as the natural point guard on their roster, it won't hurt for the Lakers to add another playmaker to the mix.
ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith recently put forth a scenario that will give the Lakers the opportunity to nab Thunder's newly-acquired veteran point guard Chris Paul.
"CP3 has to make a decision. When he was in Los Angeles and he elected to leave, he walked away for what was going to be five years and excess of $200 million. He walked away from that and essentially cost himself anywhere from $20 to $40 million by going to Houston.
The point is this: if you are Chris Paul, you have a decision to make. You want your money? Stay in basketball purgatory (OKC) or let them buy you out, accept a few million dollars, maybe settle for a $105, $110 million and you're free to go wherever you want, and go join your brother LeBron James in L.A."
While this could be an intriguing set-up, a buy-out scenario could be tricky for the Thunder. We still don't know how the OKC front office could manufacture a full buyout, or maybe they could use the stretch-and-waive provision allowed by the NBA. The Thunder could still be on the lookout for trade partners to agree to exchange their expiring contracts to receive Paul. However, teams aren't keen on taking in Paul's bloated contract, especially with his age and performance already on a decline.

when you can see I only have the 06/19 on my dashboard

Is there a way to avoid this? Thanks before hand

A: Deleted envelopes go in the Deleted folder (like "recycle bin" in Windows).
So "deleting" envelopes simply means moving them to another folder.
Using the /folders endpoint (FoldersApi in the SDK) you can get envelopes from specific folders, thus you can avoid deleted items if you so choose.
They will be gone completely after 24 hours.

A paraglider course will take 8-14 days depending on weather and cost $1800-$2200. If after your paragliding experience you wish to fly Paramotors, you first have to obtain PG3 rating (15hrs of Paragliding) to start your PPG training. To fly Paramotors solo you have obtained your PG4 rating (30hrs of Paragliding) plus your VHF rating and gained your PPG endorsement.
Unfortunately there are no Paraglider schools or instructors here in South Australia. For the closest paragliding schools, please use the following link to the Hang Gliding Federation of Australia as they are the governing body for Paragliders, Hang gliders, ect, and have a list with all the accredited training providers in Australia.
and just click on schools.
If you have any questions or would like further information about endorsements we can provide, please do not hesitate in contacting us.

Cedar Key sits almost three miles off the West central Florida mainland, with a string of four bridges to get you to "downtown."
If you've been to Cedar Key before, you have experienced the "old Florida" lifestyle we continue to enjoy here.
If not, you are in for a real treat! Living in Cedar Key is like a trip back in time, when life was simpler and moved more slowly. For instance, Cedar Key is a pedestrian town--everything is within walking distance of "downtown." And no worries--downtown for us doesn't mean stoplights, high-rise buildings or traffic challenges! Our charming downtown is about 10 square blocks--dotted with restaurants and shops, our library, a market, an auto repair shop, our City Hall, a few offices, small hotels, our marina, several churches, our City Park, our fire station, a couple of banks, a bakery, a hair salon, a hardware store, a public pier, a museum and a doughnut shop! If it sounds a little like "Leave it to Beaver," believe me, that's pretty much where we are! And I should know...I've been living in it for more than half a century!
Of course, we are not completely out of touch with the 21st century. We have high-speed internet service, cable television, cell service, FedEx, Sea-Tow, and ATMs. We have simply continued to resist the large-scale development which has begun to take over many other areas and squeeze out the sense of community.
We even have a local school, where all students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade learn on one campus. For years Cedar Key School earned the title of being the smallest public high school in Florida. Our school has been kept afloat financially by what was originally the "Isolated Schools Bill" in 1981, which has since provided additional funding to small schools more than 28 miles from other schools.
Speaking of children--most love to ride around in golf carts, which can be used on our city streets, (as long as you don't take them onto State Road 24). Does this give you an idea of the speed of things on the island?
And on the subject of speed, for the most part we operate on what we call "island time." Though not exact, it's close enough for jazz.
I've covered a few topics here, but if you have time for more, just stop by the Cedar Key Realty office, located at 574 2nd Street, and I'll be glad to help!


An in-depth look at the characteristics of a winning customer experience measurement strategy.
Metrics are an important topic when it comes to customer experience (CX). They identify the value of good CX and provide a quantitative foundation for CX efforts to compete for funding with other areas of the business. More importantly, however, CX metrics also help identify where to best invest in changes by putting a spotlight on an organization's strengths and weaknesses.
But CX metrics aren't a panacea; they are often misused. To gain the most ROI from customer experience efforts, companies must use CX metrics as a learning tool.
When measuring the customer experience, companies should focus on four customer areas: behaviors, attitudes, perceptions, and interactions. But that's just the first step. It's what happens after you measure that's most critical to the ROI picture.
What are companies doing with CX metrics?
Satisfaction and likelihood-to-recommend are key metrics. We asked companies about the specific metrics they regularly track. More than 80 percent of respondents use likelihood-to-recommend and interaction-satisfaction measures, making these the top two metrics on the list. More than three-quarters of respondents use Net Promoter® Score (NPS®).
Customer service is the best-measured portion of the lifecycle. Respondents also rated how effectively they measure different stages of the customer lifecycle. At the top of the list, 73 percent of companies think they do a good job of measuring customer service.
Non-customers are somewhat invisible. While companies effectively measure the experiences of new customers or those who have recently renewed, they have trouble measuring prospects before they buy or customers who have defected. Less than one in five respondents think they do a good job of measuring these non-customer experiences.
The phone is the best-measured channel. Sixty-two percent of respondents feel good about their phone experience measurements. At the other end of the spectrum, companies feel least confident about their measurements for experience on wireless devices and those that cut across channels.
Emotions are on the rise. More than half of respondents say they are good at measuring interaction satisfaction, but only 30 percent feel that way about measuring the customer's emotional response to an interaction.
What does a good CX metrics program look like?
First, they are consistent. If companies don't use the same core set of CX metrics across the company, there will never be a strong, common dialogue around CX. How difficult would it be for an organization to operate if everyone had different measurements for "sales" or "profitability?" Using a consistent set of CX metrics helps to build a clear vocabulary, which will enable an organization to have more productive discussions about CX.
Successful programs also have impact. Metrics are meaningless unless organizations use them to make decisions. Companies need to identify metrics that are meaningful enough to drive decisions—and then act on them.
In addition, companies make trade-offs across their business all the time. Sometimes short-term goals like current quarter sales win out, while other times companies are willing to invest in their future. Companies must integrate CX metrics into the larger business discussion.
Finally, reviewing CX metrics on an annual basis turns the data into a backwards-looking scorecard. If you want to actually make improvements in your business, then CX metrics need to be continuous and considered an ongoing tool used to run, not just to measure, the business.
Using these four areas as criteria, Temkin Group created an assessment of CX metrics programs and analyzed 200 companies. We found that only 12 percent of companies received good or very good ratings. At the other end of the effectiveness spectrum, 44 percent of companies have either very poor or broken programs. And on average, the programs do an adequate job with consistency across their organization, but companies are the least effective at integrating CX metrics with other business operations.
One of the most disturbing findings from our research is that only 38 percent of respondents indicate that their company bases many important decisions on CX metrics, and this level has remained relatively flat over the previous three years. Other top obstacles to improvement are limited visibility of CX metrics, lack of taking action on the metrics, and too little compensation tied to CX metrics.
1. Establish core CX metric(s). You need to start by determining what you will use to measure customer experience. As we talked about earlier, satisfaction and Net Promoter Score are common measurements to use.
2. Establish business metrics. What business or brand goals do you think your CX metrics will influence? Will it make customers buy more, use lower cost channels, or try new products more frequently? Whatever measures of success you use, make sure you can measure them.
3. Group customers based on their CX metrics. Using the customer experience metric, group customers into three to five categories based on how they rated the company. If you use Net Promoter Score, this could be Promoters, Passives, and Detractors.
4. Analyze difference in business metrics. For each of the groups of customers, look at their business metrics versus similar customers. Determine to what degree they are more or less valuable than other customers. We've found a difference in business metrics for Net Promoter® Score segments across thousands of consumers.
5. Calculate the value of changes in CX metrics. We can now figure out how much it's worth to the company to move customers to higher levels of CX. Let's say for instance that the customers who gave the company the lowest CX scores are worth $200/year and renew at a 60 percent rate and those who gave the highest score are worth $500/year and renew at a 90 percent rate. For every 100 people that we can shift from one group to another, we gain $30,000 in the first year and retain 30 more customers in the following year.
Don't get enamored by any single metric. No matter what you've heard, there's no such thing as an ultimate metric. Successful companies use a portfolio of metrics and succeed or fail based on what they do with the metrics, not just by reporting them.
Don't create complex CX metrics. Any metric that you use should be easy to understand. If a metric is a convoluted combination of multiple items, then it will be hard for people to understand what they mean, and even harder for them to recognize how they can affect them.
Don't tie too much to compensation. While respondents identified the lack of compensation tied to CX metrics as a key issue, companies can run into problems when they tie too much compensation to a metric. The focus on a number creates unintended consequences such as "gaming" the feedback system.
Don't let CX efforts become isolated from the business. While it may be interesting to have a separate CX dashboard, this type of activity reinforces the split between CX and other operations. As much as possible, try to get leaders to examine CX metrics at the same time and in the same way that they examine other key business results.
Don't lose site of the ultimate goal… improving. The goal of using CX metrics should not be to build an ROI case or to prove that CX investments are valuable. The goal is to help the organization achieve its mission. So make sure at least 80 percent of your work with CX metrics is focused on making improvements to your business.
Leading companies use these strategies and tactics to not only measure, but also to create real business impact while also improving their customers' experiences.

The first stage of the restoration of the Liberty Theatre was completed in 2006 with the opening of the theate for business in April of 2005.
The restoration of the Liberty Theatre has had a dramatic impact on economic development of downtown Astoria, serving as a magnet for commercial activity, professional firms and a revitalized downtown.
The rehabilitation of this key property has provided a positive example for other building owners, and has brought hundreds of thousand of visitors and residents to downtown Astoria since reopening. The economic benefits to downtown restaurants and the local hotel industry has been extremely positive.
The restoration of the Liberty Theatre Complex has been crucial from an historic preservation perspective. Outside of Portland or Salem, there was no other 1920s vintage motion picture palace in Oregon restored to its original decorative architectural.
School children in four local school districts have had an unparalleled venue for arts enrichment and education, as well as a theatre in which to showcase student productions. The Liberty has also enable an array of active performing arts programs during school vacations.
The successful completion of this restoration has enabled the continuation and growth of existing performing arts activities, as well as attracting new cultural performances that have benefited tourists and residents alike.
We are continuing to restore and develop the Liberty Theatre into a first class facility. Our need for dressing rooms and additional space and the continuing updates and replacement of Theatre curtains, maintenance and infrastructure are a continuing endeavor.

For over a decade the Mississippi River Festival (MRF) on the grounds of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville was host to great music and a variety of characters. Occasionally I was one of them.
Just wanted to let you now that I love this plate! I, too, was one of the "characters" at MRF. My first concert was Iron Butterfly in 1968(?). I was on the verge of 14 and remember watching the "hippies" smoking something and when they left, the shook their blanket and a pack of Wheat Straw paper landed on my leg. I had no idea what these were. I took them home and they sat on my dresser for a few years until I put them to good use.
Can I buy a plate?
Wow! What a great place. Saw my very first concert there. Had to be '70-'71, the James Gang & Black Oak Arkansas. Saw many great bands there for only $3.00. Sat in the seats once for $6 or $7 to see the Henry Paul Band & Molly Hatchet. Was lucky enough to attend the ZZ Top show that ended the MRF in '80. Lot of memories there. The road to backstage is still there off Poag Rd. when passing by occasionally, I still think about some of the good times I had there in my teens-early 20's.
Are you aware of SIUE's MRF Picnic on June 13, 2009? I'm in the midst of designing the poster for the event and would like permission to use the image from this plate. Do you know who I would locate for permission?
You can contact me. I'll send you an email.

Los Angeles Angels vs. Tampa Bay Rays August 25 Betting Preview
The Los Angeles Angels and Tampa Bay Rays played an extra-inning affair on Wednesday night, with the Rays coming back late to claim that contest.
On Thursday, they face off again in an afternoon matchup where the Angels look to break a long losing streak while the Rays look to keep their win streak going. In an afternoon game following an extra-inning night game, this game could be a test of endurance above all else.

Last night, the Los Angeles Angels held the lead multiple times against the Tampa Bay Rays and looked like they would snap their four-game losing streak.
Instead, they squandered a night where Mike Trout hit a home run and drove in a second run, relinquishing those leads to lose in 11 innings. Now, the Angels are tasked with bouncing back on a very tight turnaround if they want to avoid a sixth straight loss.
Patrick Sandoval will take the mound for the Angels on Thursday afternoon, as Sandoval has been a victim of the issues with the Angels throughout this season.
He comes into this game with a 4-8 record, which would make him look incompetent. But he has an ERA of 3.14 and has actually done a decent job of keeping his team in positions to win games, even if they have failed to do so.
The Tampa Bay Rays put forth a vintage Rays performance on Wednesday night, coming back from multiple deficits to beat the Angels in extra innings.
That was their fifth win in a row, as the Rays have not only solidified themselves as a Wild Card team but have started cutting into the Yankees' lead at the top of the American League East. Here, the Rays are heavy favorites to pick up a sixth straight victory.
Drew Rasmussen has starting pitching duties for the Rays in this contest, which has meant good things for Tampa this year. Rasmussen is 8-4 on the season with a 2.82 ERA and is superior to his starting pitching counterpart in most statistical categories in 2022. As long as Rasmussen goes out and pitches his best in this contest, the Rays will be expected to get the job done here.
The biggest key to this game will be the lineups for each team, given what both teams had to endure last night. We could see lineup changes on both sides based on the typical day game after a night game environment, with the extra innings played only exacerbating that. We will see how the early start on Thursday impacts both teams.
On the Rays' side, continuing to not take things for granted will also be a key to this game. Tampa Bay is so good at treating every game and every opponent like a big game, and they will need to continue to do so in order to come out firing here. If they can do that, a sixth straight win should be easily obtainable.

UConn's Stamford Campus Being Equipped With 5G System
Published April 19, 2021 • Updated on April 19, 2021 at 2:34 pm
NBCUniversal, Inc.
The University of Connecticut is spending $300,000 to set up a high-speed internet system across its Stamford regional campus in a partnership with AT&T that could be expanded to other parts of the university system, officials said Monday.
Officials said the system, scheduled to go online in time for the fall semester, will make the regional campus one of the first in the nation to have a dedicated 5G network, providing advantages for classes and research.
Cellular companies began introducing this new generation of network technology commercially a couple of years ago and are expanding 5G across the country. But those networks are still in their early stages and not widely available outside major cities. The systems are designed to improve bandwidth, especially in urban areas, allowing many more devices to connect and much higher upload and download speeds.
Some schools, such as the University of Texas, have been leaders in the development of the technology. The University of Miami put in a dedicated 5G lab 2019. Purdue recently opened a 5G lab in its college of engineering in December and similar infrastructure is being set up at the University of Missouri.
Terrence Cheng, the director of UConn Stamford, said the network will allow for projects and course offerings that were not previously possible.
"This will expand our abilities to teach and create areas such as mobile applications, systems development, 3D graphics, wearable tech _ there are so many different courses we can now offer," he said.

It also will bolster the UConn Stamford Data Science Initiative and the UConn Technology Incubation Program, which are designed to team UConn experts and students with emerging start-ups in the field of data science.
The 5G systems being developed by those companies will allow for such things as real-time analysis of patient medical data and faster analysis of severe weather, allowing power companies to pinpoint where to send crews, officials said.
Stamford nonprofit organizations also will be given access to the network for their work, anything from marketing, to producing podcasts, Cheng said.
Cheng said the idea is to use Stamford's 5G system as a pilot before expanding it to other areas of UConn.
"Access to ultra-fast wireless speeds is critical to our economic future for business and residents of our state," Gov. Ned Lamont said in a statement. "The work with AT&T is another step in setting the groundwork for future capabilities that will help unlock new economic development opportunities for Connecticut and UConn Stamford."

Because we are now an official "Works with Nest" product, the experience with the Nest smart thermostat is now much more delightful!
During an #OhmHour, we won't turn off the device. Rather, we set your Nest to its Eco Temperatures setting (which can be set and modified through your Nest app), which adjusts your temperature set-point to ensure you are saving energy, but at the same time ensures your house doesn't get too hot or cold. After the #OhmHour has finished, we'll automatically restore your Nest thermostat back to its previous schedule.


When writers Matthew Weiner and Terence Winter join forces, the outcome is about as monumental as you'd expect. Gavin and Hannibal unpack the revelatory 'Unidentified Black Males.' This episode is filled with shocking developments, social commentary, the most powerful Tony-Melfi scene yet, and yes, a lot of Meadow and Finn... but it all works! The result is one of the true highlights not just of Season 5, but the whole series.

When you are reading the word relationship, you might be having a picture of one specific relationship. But believe me, I am not speaking about any particular name for a relationship. I am talking about the relationship as a whole. It includes all the names that we give to our relationships and also those where we can hardly name anything specific but we have an immense feeling. I am simply referring to the relationship as a whole.
In earlier blogs on relationships, we have covered some great quotes on the relationship, Expectation in a relationship, 5 ways to have a better relationship and harsh truth about relationships. Today we will be checking if we are applying any of these three blunders in any kind of relationship that we have. Believe me, if you avoid these three blunders in a relationship, you will not only have the relationship – Rather you will enjoy being n the relationship.
You feel proud that the other person understands you from the core of his or her heart.
You want to know how much you are connected with the other person and this becomes your mental test to understand that.
You create this expectation as a benchmark of being understanding.
Believe me, whatever reason it is, you are simply wrong. A relationship is meant to enjoy. Relationships are not exams, or tests or a place to show mind readings. Expecting the other person to read your mind without being expressive is a blunder you do which can ruin any relationship.
How to Fix This – Rather than waiting for the other person to come up and express what is there in your mind, you should clearly express what you want or your desire and also, encourage the other person as well to bring out everything clearly. This might create a difference of opinion sometimes but believe me, this practice will make the relationship crystal clear, enjoyable and healthy. Remember the two harsh truth about the relationship.
2. Reading the mind of the Other Person – Another blunder is simply the vice versa of the above !!! There are lots of instances, you try to judge the other person. Rather than concentrating on what the other person is explaining, you start assuming the intent to reason behind what he or she is saying. This is sometimes needed in the process of interrogating – but in most of the cases, when we are communicating with someone in a relationship – this is not required. You are not in a relationship to assume. You are in the relationship to enjoy the value the relationship brings.
How to Fix This – There are possibilities, you might be getting a feeler from a relationship that is not clear to you. In these situations, asking direct questions always help. Rather than refraining yourself from asking a direct question by thinking about what the other person might think if you ask a direct question, it's always better to get a clarity. It will help your relationship stay clean and clear. You will be able to enjoy the relationship without any kind of mental declutter.
You might feel bad about what the other person is saying and so the chances of understanding the point of view of the other person are shuttered.
You have a mental picture of the other person or a pre-notion that is stopping you to understand the person properly.
How to fix this – Firstly, you need to accept people the way they are. Every person is on their own journey and hence the point of views of different people will be different. Accepting this every time you communicate will open you to understand the other persons Point of view. Moreover, when you express clearly and let the other person express clearly as well and don't try to read mind and don't expect the other person to read your mind as well – as mentioned in the first two points, you automatically open the door towards a clear flow of communication and in most of the cases, you understand the other person's point of view. Also, you must practice active listening.
Communication is the key to any relationship and in fact, you cannot communicate. If you wish to improve your communication, you can join our waitlist for a course on communication and you will get the same absolutely Free of Cost when its launched.

Difference between Country and Nation
Key difference: A country is defined as a region or an area of a land which is controlled by its own government. The term 'nation' refers to a community or group of people who share the same history, language, descent and a common government.
It is common for people to use the terms, country and nation, interchangeably as if there is no difference between the two. However, one can come across a few variations when talking about the two geographical entities of a government.
According to Wikipedia, a country is a region which is legally identified as a distinct body in political geography. However, by the modern legal definition of United Nations, it is defined as a state wherein the residents of the country have legal rights.
A country can be defined in following terms:
It is considered to be an independent sovereign state
A state which is occupied by another state in the form of a non-sovereign or former sovereign political division
A geographical region which is associated with a set of previously independent or non-independent people with political characteristics
The term 'country' has been derived from the Latin word 'contra' which means 'against' or that 'lies against'. It is also used as a synonym for a state or a former sovereign state. An independent State is the same as an independent country. When used with an initial capital letter, the term 'State' has a very different meaning. It is an area with internationally recognized boundaries and its own government. It must also be recognized by other countries and have sovereignty, meaning that it is not under the power of any other country. Other requirements for soveregnty include permanent residents, a transportation system, an education system, and an organized economic system. It issues its own money and is able to regulate both domestic and foreign trade.
The term 'state' is usually used to describe a smaller part of a large country. For example, the United States of America is the governing country, with 50 states which are smaller defined territories within a larger government. The term "province" may also be used in some countries, such as Canada. Many countries also have territories. A territory is under the government of a larger nation and lacks the governmental powers of a state or a province. Australia has six states and two major territories. Also, areas much smaller than a political state are called as 'country' like the 'West Country' in England, the 'country-side' used by Americans in various contexts by or 'coal country' which is used for parts of the US.
There is no universal agreement on the number of "countries" in the world, since a number of states have disputed over their sovereignty status. There are 206 total States, with 193 States participating in the United Nations, two observer States and 11 other States. All are defined as States under the declarative theory of statehood and constitutive theory of statehood.
The term 'Nation' mainly refers to a sovereign state, the United States of America is an example. It also refers to a community or a group of people who share the same history, language, descent, and a common government.
Nation has varying meanings and the connotation of the term has changed over time. Webster's Dictionary defines nation as,
A community of people composed of one or more nationalities with its own territory and government, and
A tribe or as a federation of tribes
The word 'nation' came to the English language from an old French word 'nacion', which in turn originates from the Latin word 'natio' which literally means 'that which has been born'. An ethnic community shares a common myth of origins and descent, a common history, elements of distinctive culture, a common territorial association, and sense of group solidarity. A nation is like an ethnic community but it is much more impersonal, abstract and overtly political. It is a cultural-political community that has become conscious of its coherence, unity and particular interests.
The term "nation" is a bit difficult to define. Nations consist of people having a common territory and a common government. The people of a nation share the same language, culture, institutions, history and religion. These groups are larger than a single tribe or small community, and often encompass an entire country. Some example are Japan, Germany, and France. When a nation of people has its own distinct country, this is referred to as a nation-state. They are not considered as sovereign states. These states have always been a subject of controversy and a huge security concern to the neighboring countries. Palestine is a notable example of this type of nation. Some countries can have multiple nations and not all nations can posses their own State.
The nation began to emerge in the late 18th century as the leading form of government and social organization. The national identity brought rights to vote, to hold office, and independence for a growing number of territories held under colonial rule. This catalyst brought about a change in its meaning under the influence of the African diaspora, specifically in the United States, where there were a large number of black groups being held under the government rule.
Comparison between Country and Nation:
It is defined as a region or an area of a land which is controlled by its own government.
It refers to a community or group of people who share the same history, language, descent and a common government.
It can be a sovereign or a non-sovereign state.
It mainly refers to a sovereign state.
It is defined in a geographical aspect.
It is defined in terms of people and a common government
All countries a sovereign.
Not all nations are sovereign.
The term 'country' has been derived from Latin 'contra' which means 'against' or that 'lies against'.
The word 'nation' came to the English language from an old French word 'nacion'.

Commentaries - Scholarly, Historical-Critical Focus
The following commentaries are available at Wiggins Memorial Library. The Divinity school recommends the Anchor Yale Bible, New International Commentary on the Old Testament, New International Commentary on the New Testament, and Word Biblical Commentary for use by students working on assignments.
The Anchor Yale Bible (formerly Anchor Bible) by various
Call Number: BS192.2.A1 1964 .G3 (Multi-Volume Set)
* Theological Reference Collection (Kivett 3rd Floor)
* This commentary series is also shelved as a set on the 2nd floor of Kivett and can be checked out.
The Anchor Yale Bible is a fresh approach to the world's greatest classic. Its object is to make the Bible accessible to the modern reader; its method is to arrive at the meaning of biblical literature through exact translation and extended exposition, and to reconstruct the ancient setting of the biblical story, as well as the circumstances of its transcription and the characteristics of its transcribers.
The Anchor Yale Bible is a project of international and interfaith scope: Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish scholars from many countries contribute individual volumes. the project is not sponsored by any ecclesiastical organization and is not intended to reflect any particular theological doctrine... The Anchor Yale Bible is an effort to make available all the significant historical and linguistic knowledge which bears on the interpretation of the biblical record.
The Anchor Yale Bible is aimed at the general reader with no special formal training in biblical studies; yet it is written with the most exacting standards of scholarship, reflecting the highest technical accomplishment.
Hermeneia by various
Call Number: BS491.2.H4 (Multi-Volume Set)
* Individual commentaries for checkout are shelved canonically on the 2nd floor of Kivett.
Note: This commentary series is not shelved as a set in the stacks.
This series is designed to be a critical and historical commentary to the Bible without arbitrary limits in size or scope. It will utilize the full range of philological and historical tools, including textual criticism (often slighted in modern commentaries), the methods of the history of tradition (including genre and prosodic analysis),and the history of religion.
Hermeneia is designed for the serious student of the Bible. It will make full use of the ancient Semitic and classical languages; at the same time, English translations of all comparative materials -- Greek, Latin, Canaanite, or Akkadian-- will be supplied alongside the citation of the source in its original language. Insofar as possible, the aim is to provide the student or scholar with full critical discussion of each problem of interpretation and with the primary data upon which the discussion is based.
Hermeneia is designed to be international and interconfessional in the selection of authors; its editorial boards were formed with this end in view. Occasionally the series will offer translations of distinguished commentaries which originally appeared in languages other than English. Published volumes of the series will be revised continually, and eventually, new commentaries will replace older works in order to preserve the currency of the series. Commentaries are also being assigned for important literary works in the categories of apocryphal and pseudopigraphical works relating to the Old and New Testaments, including some of Essene or Gnostic authorship.
The editors of Hermeneia impose no systematic-theological perspective upon the series (directly, or indirectly by selection of authors). It is expected that authors will struggle to lay bare the ancient meaning of a biblical work or pericope. In this way the text's human relevance should become transparent, as is always the case in competent historical discourse. However, the series eschews for itself homiletical translation of the Bible.
International Critical Commentary by various
Call Number: Follow title link for call numbers
* Some eBooks
The older commentaries in this set may still be useful for linguistic studies in Hebrew and Greek.
The International Critical Commentary has long had a special place among works on the Bible. It has sought to bring together all the relevant aids to exegesis: linguistic and textual, archaeological, historical, literary, and theological,with a comprehensiveness and quality of scholarship unmatched by any other series. This series is being extended and renewed. ... Commentaries on books of the Bible which have not appeared in the ICC before and new editions of many existing volumes are in preparation.
New International Commentary on the Old Testament (NICOT) by various
Call Number: BS491.3 .N4 (Multi-Volume Set)
Like its companion series on the New Testament, this commentary devotes considerable care to achieving a balance between technical information and homiletic-devotional interpretation. Each volume in the NICOT series contains an introduction that discusses various facets - the authorship, date, historical setting, original text, structure, theology, etc.- of the biblical book; a select bibliography concludes the introduction. The commentary proper, based on the author's own translation of the Hebrew text, discusses the book section by section. Expository matters are the primary concern in these comments; details of textual criticism and translation usually appear only in the footnotes.
New International Commentary on the New Testament (NICNT) by various
Prepared by some of the world's leading New Testament scholars the NICNT series provides an exposition of the New Testament books that is thorough and fully abreast of modern scholarship yet faithful to the Scriptures as the infallible Word of God. While based on a careful study of the Greek text, the commentary introductions and expositions contain a minimum of Greek references. The NICNT authors evaluate significant textual problems and take into account the most important exegetical literature. More technical aspects - such as grammatical, textual, and historical problems- are dealt with in footnotes, special notes, and appendixes.
Word Biblical Commentary by various
Call Number: BS491.2 .W67 1982 (Multi-Volume Set)
We [the editors of the Word Biblical Commentary series] have tried to cast a wide net to include a number of scholars from around the world who not only share our aims, but are in the main engaged in the ministry of teaching in university, college and seminary. They represent a rich diversity of denominational allegiance. The broad stance of our contributors can rightly be called evangelical, and this term is to be understood in its positive, historic sense of a commitment to scripture as divine revelation, and to the truth and power of the Christian gospel...What may be claimed as distinctive with this series is that it is based on biblical languages, yet it seeks to make the technical and scholarly approach to a theological understanding of scripture understandable by - and useful to- the fledgling student, the working minister as well as to colleagues in the guild of professional scholars and teachers.

Chalice Commentaries for Today Series by various
The Chalice Commentaries for Today are designed to help pastors, seminary students, and educated laity who are open to contemporary scholarship claim the Bible intheir personal lives and in their engagement with the crucial issues of our time. The aim of the series is to offer a better understanding of the biblical challenges to the values, beliefs, and behavior in today's world as well as our own world's challenges to the values, beliefs, and behavior in the biblical world. the authors contributing to this series, though theologically diverse, share a vision of God as a relational being who is passionately involved in the life of the world, whose primary feature is love, and who both affects and is affected by the world.
Westminster Bible Companion by various
Books in the Westminster Bible Companion series assist pastors and students in their study of the Bible as a guide to Christian faith and practice. Each volume presents the text under discussion, explains the biblical book in its original historical context, and explores the text's significance for faithful living today. These books are an ideal resource for preparing a text-based sermon and a worthy addition to seminary courses and advanced Bible study groups.
NIV Application Bible Commentary by various
Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from the twentieth century to the first century. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. In other words, they focus on the original meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable -- but the job is only half done! The NIV Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive task. This new and unique series shows readers how to bring an ancient message into modern context. It explains not only what the Bible means but also how it can speak powerfully today.

Sacra Pagina by various
Call Number: BS491.2 .S23 (Multi-Volume Set)
Sacra Pagina is a multi-volume commentary on the books of the New Testament, written by Roman Catholic scholars. It is scholarly in nature but attempts to maintain a Catholic perspective.

For each unit, the author discusses introductory issues, explicates the train of argument or narrative, and pulls out major hermeneutical and theological questions for additional attention. The main text is judiciously supplemented with maps, sidebars, and photographs. Reference lists and indexes help the reader locate discussions in the commentary and in other available scholarly literature.
Commentaries - Scholarly, Reception History
The following commentaries are available at Wiggins Memorial Library. These resources can be helpful, but don't concentrate your research here for your exegesis.
Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture by various
Call Number: BS491.2 .A53 (Multi-Volume Set)
The Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture does what very few of today's students of the Bible could do for themselves. With the aid of computer technology, the vast array of writings from church fathers -- including much that is available only in the ancient languages -- have been combed for their comment on Scripture. From these results, scholars with a deep knowledge of the fathers and a heart for the church have hand selected material for each volume, shaping, annotating and introducing it to today's readers. Each portion of commentary has been chosen for its salient insight, its rhetorical power and its faithful representation of the consensual exegesis of the early church. The Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture is an ecumenical project, promoting a vital link of communication between the varied Christian traditions of today and their common ancient ancestors in the faith. On this shared ground we listen as leading pastoral theologians of six centuries gather around the text of Scripture and offer their best theological, spiritual and pastoral insights. Today the historical-critical method of interpretation has nearly exhausted its claim on the biblical text and on the church. In its wake there is a widespread yearning among christian individuals and communities for the wholesome, the deep and the enduring. The Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture seeks not to replace those excellent commentaries that have been produced in the twentieth century. It supplements them, framing them with interpretive voices that have long sustained the church and only recently have fallen silent. It invites us to listen with appreciative ears and sympathetic minds as our ancient ancestors in the faith describe and interpret the scriptural vistas as they see them. The Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture is a post critical revival of the early commentary tradition known as the glossa ordinaria, a text artfully elaborated with ancient and authoritative reflections and insights. An uncommon companion for theological interpretation, spiritual reading, and wholesome teaching and preaching.
Blackwell Bible Commentaries by various
The Blackwell Bible Commentaries series, the first to be devoted primarily to the reception history of the Bible, is based on the premise that how people have interpreted, and been influenced by, a sacred text like the Bible is often as interesting and historically important as what it originally meant. Until quite recently this whole dimension of biblical studies has been for the most part totally neglected by modern biblical scholars. The goal of the commentary writer has been to get behind the centuries of accumulated Christian and Jewish tradition to one single meaning, normally identified with the author's original intention. The most important and distinctive feature of this new type of commentary is that it will present readers with many different interpretations of each text, in such a way as to heighten their awareness of what a sacred text, can mean and what it can do, what it has meant and what it has done, in the many contexts in which it operates. The Blackwell Bible Commentaries will consider patristic, rabbinic (where relevant), and medieval exegesis, interpretation from the Reformation and early modern period, as well as insights from various types of modern criticism, acquainting readers with a wide variety of interpretative techniques. Where relevant, reference will be made to questions of source criticism, date, authorship, and other historical critical and archaeological issues, but since these are comprehensively covered in existing commentaries, such references will be considered briefly as part of the history of interpretation.
Bible in Medieval Tradition
The major intent of the series The Bible in Medieval Tradition is to reacquaint the Church with its rich history of biblical interpretation and with the contemporary applicability of this history, especially for academic study, spiritual formation, preaching, discussion groups, and individual reflection. Each volume focuses on a particular biblical book or set of books and provides documentary evidence of the most significant ways in which that work was treated in the course of medieval biblical exegesis and with the interests of contemporary readers. Each volume in the series comprises fresh translations of several commentaries. the selections are lengthy and, in most cases, have never been available in English before. Compared to patristic material, relatively little medieval exegesis has been translated. While medieval interpretations do resemble their patristic forebears, they do not simply replicate them. Indeed, they are produced at new times and in new situations. As a result, they lend insight into the changing culture and scholarship of the Middle Ages and comprise a storehouse of the era's theological and spiritual riches that can enhance contemporary reading of the Bible. They, therefore, merit their own consideration, to which this series is meant to contribute.
Reformation Commentary on Scripture by various
The Reformation Commentary on Scripture (RCS) will be a multivolume work that presents comments by historic figures on the entirety of the Bible, chapter by chapter. The unique contribution of the RCS will be its presentation of Protestant Reformation reflections on Scripture, thereby introducing its readers to the depth and richness of exegetical ferment that defined the Reformation. The RCS will introduce a wealth of Reformation-era commentary on Scripture that is largely unknown and for the most part unavailable in English. While the giants of the era will be well represented, readers will also be introduced to a host of figures with whom they were previously unfamiliar, yet who contributed to the reformation in important ways. In doing so, the RCS will demonstrate both the unity and diversity of thought that characterized this vital period in the history of the church. The RCS will be printed in a large, attractive, hardback, double-columned format. Employing the highest level of scholarly research, it will present Reformation-era commentary on Scripture in a clear and straightforward manner, thereby making it accessible to a larger audience. Commentary excerpts will be selected for their succinctness of expression, clarity of thought, depth of scriptural insight, universal relevance, rhetorical power an theological consonance with the tradition of Christian orthodoxy, all the while highlighting the distinctive contributions of the Protestant Reformation.

The New Interpreter's Bible
Call Number: BS491.2 .N484 1994 (Multi-Volume Set)
The general aim of The New Interpreter's Bible is to bring the best in contemporary biblical scholarship into the service of the church to enhance preaching, teaching, and the study of the Scriptures...The exegetical approach is "text-centered."

Commentaries - Scholarly, Theologically-oriented
This new series will build on a wide range of sources in areas such as biblical studies, the Christian tradition, popular culture, and the language of Christian worship.

Nearly half of the volumes in the series will be written by women, and almost a third will be written by persons of color.
Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible
Commentators in this series have not been chosen because of their historical or philogical expertise. In the main, they are not biblical scholars in the conventional, modern sense of the term. Instead, the commentators were chosen because of their knowledge of and expertise in using the Christian doctrinal tradition.
Readers should expect this reconstructive - not reactionary- series to provide them with experiments in postcritical doctrinal interpretation, not commentaries written according to the settled principles of a well-functioning tradition...The central premise in this commentary series is that doctrine provides structure and cogency to scriptural interpretation.
The Two Horizons Old Testament Commentary / The Two Horizons New Testament Commentary
