G. Stolyarov: The Principles of Liberalism
Source:G. Stolyarov- A liberal democratic value that liberal democracy is all about: the right for individuals to be free.
"Mr. Stolyarov was recently asked to attempt a formulation of ten crucial principles of classical liberalism, the worldview which animated the American Revolution, the European Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, and the libertarian revival of free-market thought in the mid-to-late twentieth century. Classical liberalism - even when it is not explicitly espoused - still has considerable residual influence on the political and economic institutions of the Western world and is having an increasing impact outside the West as well."
From G. Stolyarov
What is liberalism and what is it about? The subject of this piece. Well at least in America and I'm not talking about how it's stereotyped today, but back in the day liberalism was thought to be about freedom, for the people to live their own lives. And that government was there to protect people from being hurt by others. But not to dictate how people (meaning free adults) live their own lives.
Perhaps encourage moral, healthy behavior like exercising for example and eating well and perhaps discourage unhealthy behavior. Like with tobacco and alcohol, taxes as examples. But that the people had the freedom to live their own lives as they see fit as long as they are not hurting anyone else with their freedom.
That people meaning (free adults) had the right to be jerks (for lack of a better word) as long as they weren't physically hurting or threatening others with their jerkery. And that people meaning (free adults) had the right to even be stupid as long as their stupidity wasn't hurting anyone else physically.
To use as example: Liberals tend to be for legalizing but with regulation and taxation of marijuana. That it should be legal but that it should be treated like alcohol and tobacco and not be encouraged.
That people could own firearms even support the 2nd Amendment, but that people can't shoot innocent people with their firearms.
That a role of government was to protect people from the harmful actions of others, but not try to protect people from themselves. Liberalism and liberal, both come from the word liberty, meaning freedom, not socialism. (Democratic or otherwise) Liberalism is about maximize freedom and responsibility for the individual. As long as they are not hurting anyone else with their freedom. As well as equality of opportunity.
Liberalism is not economic justice, which is another way of saying equality of results. Meaning that everyone should have the same wealth. Even if some people are more productive than others. Which is a socialist value, two different things. As much as the Far-Right and even mainstream Conservatives like to try to tie liberalism as a socialist Ideology and in America trying to make America more like Europe and the Right have been very successful in doing that the last thirty years, the right-wing is simply dead wrong. Whether they realize it or not.
Liberalism has more in common with libertarianism or conservative libertarianism, than it does with socialism. (Democratic or otherwise) There are actually several definitions of liberal.
The political definition of liberal is one who believes in liberty and a defender of liberty, not big government and the welfare state. But there's a more common one meaning more or a lot: "I want a liberal amount of food or water, vacation time", whatever the thing is. That I believe people get confused with especially when they are talking about the role of government, a fascinating topic for me as a blogger.
When someone says they want a liberal amount of government, meaning they want a lot of government, or that a government program is not liberal enough, meaning it's not big enough, it doesn't spend enough money, that person automatically gets classified as a liberal. When in fact they might just be someone and in a lot of cases this is true, someone who believes in big government and wants socialism.
A Socialist (democratic or otherwise) who wants a big government program created or made bigger. A lot of American politicians today who get classified as liberal because they want liberal sized government programs. Are actually not very liberal in many cases, but they are Socialists and tend to be Democratic Socialists. The Bernie Sanders and Dennis Kucinich's of the World. Major believers in the welfare state and democratic socialism.
To give you another example that I know you're just dying to hear: when developing countries are talking about moving their economy's from a command and control economy, meaning the State owns the means of production of society which is a Marxist-Socialist economy and they are talking about liberalizing the economy, meaning opening it up with privatization and giving the people economic freedom.
Economic liberty. the ability of one to set their own course in life and not be dependent on government for their daily survival because they now have the ability to take care of themselves and get a good job in the private sector, they're talking about economic liberalization. Meaning capitalism and taking power away from the state and giving more people to the people over their own economic affairs.
Capitalism is basically liberal economics, because you give the people economic liberty to take care of themselves and not be dependent on government to survive financially. And you're taking a risk that they won't mess it up. (To put it mildly) When you make a liberal investment, you're making a big investment and generally taking a lot of risk as well. Which would make socialist economics conservative economics, in a sense.
Conservatism has a lot of diversity in it. Because you keep the power with the state and really limit the ability if any for people to take risks on their own. Low-risk is very conservative. A low-risk investment is a conservative investment. So when you hear someone especially a politician or public official, called or is viewed as a liberal, you should have an idea of why they are being labeled that. Because it could mean that they believe in individual liberty like myself which why I'm a liberal. Or it could mean they just want a lot of something. A liberal amount of whatever the something is.

Burger King has a menu that you could kindly call "rotating". If Burger King was a person you remembered from High School, they would be the "trend chaser", showing up in wildly different outfits from month to month, trying desperately to fit into whatever lunch table group would have them.
It's out of this kind of "throw it to the wall" mentality that brings us BK's newest offering for the Halloween season. And we'd venture to guess the sight and ingredients of this sandwich packs more scares than any new Saw sequel could.
Say hello to the "Nightmare King". Much like a dream that Freddy Krueger might trap you in, it might seem like a normal fast-food sandwich, but then you realize something is terribly, terribly wrong. Let's unpack this affront to nature, layer by layer.
This is what really hits you first, visually. Your standard sesame seed flecked white bread bun, but it's green. It's very, very green. Not a light-hearted Kelley green that you might find on a St. Patrick's Day, but a dead-eyed stagnant bog green. Not to be coarse, but if you were going to make a "Fart Green" crayon, this would be the shade. Burger King had a similar novelty bun last year, when they released a burger with a black bun, but that has a kind of spooky chic to it. This looks like a warning to your body. It is widely speculated to make your poop green as well, a fact I have no reason to challenge anyone on!
American cheese. Raw onions. Mayonnaise. Two kinds of dairy and the most stomach-gurgling vegetable topping known to man, holding together fried meats like a suicidal captain lashing themselves to the mast of a downing ship. Thus completes the aptly-named "Nightmare King".
As of this moment, the only real images we have of the Nightmare King is a sickly hand reaching out to take the burger for themselves, perhaps looking to cut their suffering lives a little shorter. The promotional copy makes the 100% not verified claim that ingesting one will increase the likelihood of having a nightmare post-eating.
That's a hell of an ad campaign! When do we get the milkshake boasting that drinking one increases intense depression? Or the mozzarella sticks that promise the death of a loved one?
You can't help but admire Burger King's we'll-try-anything approach to getting attention, (This writer just spent about 600 words on it, so you got me good, BK.) and if you want to tempt fate and the demons of sleep, you can purchase your own Nightmare King starting October 24th.
Supplies are limited, as are the days of our lives. Don't forget to take a picture of your green hamburger for social media, but please, spare us photos of the aftermath.


View some of the most spectacular images taken from our trips. Our image gallery is updated regularly, so check back often. Our photographers are experts in photographing whales and other marine life. We will have several photographers on board throughout the week to document our trips and capture those memorable moments with wildlife. We also have a licensed drone operator as part of our team, to bring a new perspective to our passengers. In addition to capturing those amazing moments while on-board, our photographers can give you some pointers about how to capture those shots yourself.
We strive to provide our passengers with an inspiring and educational experience on Monterey Bay.

Nursing home staff hopeful as lawmakers consider bills to increase funding
Posted: 4:41 PM, Mar 19, 2019

Nursing homes hopeful for funding to avoid crisis
SAPULPA, Okla. — At Arbor Village, some employees work up to two weeks straight. They're filling the gap as many are leaving the field.
For those living in nursing home, they said this kind of care can make or break their health. Patricia Russell said after arriving at Arbor Village, she was waiting to die.
As nurses got Russell up to play games and eat she began to improve. Yet not all patients are so lucky.
Staff tell 2 Works for You they do what they can to help those living at Arbor Village feel at home. But at least weekly they receive a call and have to turn people away.
"We're at our max capacity. We could actually hold more residents in our facility, but I don't have the staffing to meet their needs. If I can't meet their needs, I won't admit them," director Ernest Johnson said.
Johnson lost many employees to other fields like retail where they could make more money. He said this comes as the state struggles to keep up with cost of living.
"They have good staff. We need more of them and we need more of them so they're not overworked and tired but willing to help us," Russell said.
But House Bill 1902 and Senate Bill 280 passed their respective chambers. If signed into law, they would increase funding for nursing facilities by just over 20 dollars a day. Many nursing home employees said they're feeling optimistic.

A Trump supporter attacked a BBC cameraman who was covering President Donald Trump's rally Monday night in El Paso.
Trump, having spent part of the rally getting the crowd riled up against the media, asked if everyone was okay, gave a thumbs-up, and went right back to his interminable rant about whatever he was ranting about.
Compared to his usual denunciations of the media, Trump's rhetoric in El Paso was relatively mild. But almost four years after he first declared his candidacy for the president, he still shows zero awareness that his constant painting of the media as a malevolent force constantly lying and attacking in an effort to destroy him and his supporters might have real-world consequences. Even though he has been warned about it by newspaper publishers, such as A.G. Sulzberger of the New York Times, whose respect and admiration he so cravenly desires.
Trump's battles with the media seem to exist in his mind partly as a plot device on a TV show. Every drama needs a villain, and in Trump's hero narrative, the media is but one of the enemies besieging him. That others, particularly members of the media and the supporters he riles up at his rallies and through his Twitter attacks, do not share his view that this is all showmanship never seems to break through. This despite ample evidence of his supporters' increasing rage directed at the media at past rallies.
The BBC cameraman was thankfully unhurt. How long that streak of media members escaping injury from riled-up Trumpists can run is anybody's guess.

Therapy in Motion is a conscious movement and dance exploration that accesses the body as a gateway to healing. Using music, inquiry and imagery, it taps into our intuitive wisdom to dissolve blocks, trauma, and barriers. As we engage the body-mind, insights emerge and we are freed from our repetitive stories and patterns. Transformation can be rapid, profound and enduring. Join a supportive, small group for this unique therapeutic process.
Deb Marois, MS, blends her proficiency as a community builder and group facilitator with her love of conscious dance to offer a unique, interdisciplinary Open Floor experience. Currently she resides in Sacramento, CA and aspires to live on Maui.
When one heals, we all heal.
This is a circle for women to share healing, growth and connection. As alone as we often feel, our hurt is shared by many others. This is an opportunity to engage in a therapeutic process in a supportive, small group.
Maximum 6 participants. A short interview is necessary prior to registration.
This 3-part series is an opportunity to sit, dance, move, witness and reflect on yourself, others and the planet. Using sparse facilitation, I will lead you on a journey of witnessing and self-discovery. Come with an open mind, loose clothes, a water bottle and let's witness together.
The written word moves from our imagination to the page in a silent process with its own codes and pleasures. The spoken word is expressed publically, allowing us to hear ourselves, to ride the rhythm. For some, this bridge between the written and the spoken word can be fascinating and fun, while for others it may be vulnerable and frightening.
Becoming the Word invites you to be curious and explore how you open and close to the movements and shapes that your words may take. Through explorations in vocal improvisation, sensuous language, witnessing ourselves and others, playing with rhythm, following the lead of our bodies, we allow the words that only we can offer in the moment, to move and flow through us.
Come with a writing inspiration to explore with the aid of your body. This could be from a work in progress, a line from a long time ago that lingers and lulls you, a poem that has burst forth, or a story that can be told only by you.
Maggi Feehan (MA) is a Counsellor and is currently in training with Open Floor International. She is the author of The Serpent's Veil (Thistledown Press).
Kim Goodliffe (MFA) is a VoiceWorks teacher from the SoundBody Studio (Victoria, BC) and the author of Lowballer (Demeter Press).
We invite you to find nourishment through dance, breathwork, movement and easy sound play. Couch potatoes and dancers, shy mice and divas are all welcome! We ask you to show up as you are, amuse yourself, fool around, and fall in love with the magic of improvised songs, languages, stories and movement. (Silence, stillness and rest are always an option, friends.) We will explore our ancestral connections – Who are our ancestors? What do they have to offer us? How can we learn to sense and trust their presence in our lives? Please dress in layers, bring a water bottle and leave behind your fragrances.
White Eagle Counselling and Therapy provides counselling and therapy services in a supportive and caring environment for anyone facing difficult challenges and looking for a fresh start.

Both injection molding and plastic thermoforming have widespread uses in a long list of industries. Each process has some unique features and benefits that are often advantageous for a specific application. In these instances, the choice to manufacture with plastic thermoforming or injection molding may be very obvious. This is most apparent in production volume. Low to mid volume tends to favor thermoforming, while high volume is usually more cost effective with injection molding.
However, a product's needs and the capabilities of these two processes sometimes overlap. A part's geometry may seem better suited for injection molding, but in a limited production run, but it may be drastically more cost effective to manufacture it with plastic thermoforming. This is just one example of an application where deciding between injection molding and plastic thermoforming may not be a clear choice. Selecting the right method in these situations requires a deeper appraisal of the features, benefits, and costs associated with each process.
As mentioned above, there are some instances when the type and specifications of an application drastically favor one or the other plastic manufacturing process when the choice is between injection molding or plastic thermoforming.
Injection molding offers the key benefit of cost effectiveness at the mass production scale. When an application requires the production of more than 3,000-5,000 Estimated Annual Usage (EAU) identical parts with uniform wall thicknesses, injection molding often is the clear choice. This can be attributed to a high upfront tooling investment that is gradually offset by a generally low per unit manufacturing cost. The volume range of 3,000 – 5,000 is due to a variation on part cost in respect to part size. Smaller parts are generally cheaper to manufacture than larger.
Plastic thermoforming, on the other hand, has a substantially lower tooling investment and a slightly higher per unit manufacturing cost. This equates to a much lower total part cost at low to moderate part volumes. Plastic thermoforming becomes the clear choice when the volume of manufacturing is less than 3,000 – 5,000 parts per estimated annual usage. This process also has the capability to produce single parts with very large dimensions, whereas the injection molding process is limited to single part sizes of about 4 feet x 4 feet.
If your part or project doesn't require a uniform wall thickness, large single part dimension, or has a volume requirement that is in the mid thousands, then you have landed in an area where the capabilities of plastic thermoforming and injection molding may overlap, and your process choice is not so obvious.
The good news is that you are now no longer handcuffed to a process that, while cost or size necessary, may not have the most comprehensive scope of benefits that would contribute the greatest to the success of your project.
Here are some points to consider for each process that can be taken advantage of or avoided now that you are free to choose a manufacturing method better suited to your project's needs.
Greater options for part surface finishing (textures, patterns, distortion printing, painting, etc.) that can be accomplished in the mold.
What you see above is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to comparing these manufacturing processes. For more information and for assistance in choosing the right process for your project, please contact Productive Plastics and connect with our industry experts and engineers to see how we can put over 62 years of manufacturing experience to work contributing to your project's success.

Cochran, Alfhild
Alfhild Jeannette Cochran
Suddenly at her residence on November 23, 2011 Alfhild Jeannette Cochran passed away at the age of 89.
Born August 12, 1922 to Robert and Annette Takvam, Alfhild was the eldest of five children. Growing up on a dairy farm she was accustomed to hard work, a trait which continued throughout her lifetime. She was proud of her Norwegian heritage and travelled to Norway twice.

A Very Brief Overview on U.S. Tariffs
Simply searching "Trump tariffs" on Google, at the moment of writing this article, presented me with a staggering amount of 149 000 000 results. At the same time simply searching "tariffs" yielded 92 700 000. This is both a testament to the strangeness of Google's algorithm and to how much of a contentious issue this has turned into throughout the presidency of Donald Trump. We'll take a short look at tariffs' history in the U.S. and at some recent issues regarding them.
Shortly after the American Revolution, in a period from 1783-1789, states would often levy tariffs towards one another. However, in 1789, this was changed with the ratification of the Constitution of the United States which now did not permit those restrictions between states. In this Constitution it is stated that Congress has the power to: "…lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States", and to "…regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes".
It was exercising this power that the first major piece legislation after the ratification of the Constitution, known as the Tariff Act of 1789, was passed by Congress and signed into law by president George Washington. This Act served to address the government's need of funding to pay off debts it had acquired during the Revolutionary War. It is worthy of note that the first individual income tax in the U.S. would only come into existence in 1861, and so, at the time, tariffs were one of the government's primary source of revenue. It was also enacted in order to protect domestic industries struggling to compete with cheaper European goods, in the period after the war.
Perhaps the reader has heard in recent news that Mr. Trump's recent tariffs were brought about by executive order. This would seem to be an overreach on part of the President. However, in the 20th century, two different pieces of legislation were enacted that gave the executive branch the ability to set tariffs, under certain conditions. They were the Trading with the Enemy Act and the Trade Expansion Act in 1917 and 1962, respectively. The former gives the president the ability to regulate all trade made between the U.S. and one of its enemies in time of war. But it was due to the latter that the infamous steel and aluminum tariffs were brought about in 2018. Indeed, this act gives the executive branch the authority to levy these restrictions on trade if "an article is being imported into the United States in such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten or impair the national security."
George Washington once said something reminiscent of this:
A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies.
— George Washington
In itself, this reasoning is not at all devoid of merit: indeed, it would not be wise for the U.S. to depend solely on China for their supply of steel, a material of high importance for national security. What might be worrisome, though, is that this reasoning is very broad and prone to abuse. Furthermore, it is also worthy of note that the U.S, like the rest of the world, are nearly solely dependent on China for their supply of rare earths, which are crucial for a lot of technologies including those of high-end military gear. Indeed, in 2018, China extracted around 70% of the world's rare earth supply for that year.
Some claim that Mr. Trump is simply catering to voters in the so-called Rust Belt, which was negatively affected by the decline of the coal and steel industries, and that this issue was merely disguised as a national security risk to avoid the troublesome and time-consuming bureaucracies of the legislative branch.
Undeniable, however, is the adverse impact such tariffs had and will have on other industries which use steel as an input. For example, General Motors closed several plants cutting around 14.000 jobs, claiming that the increased production costs, driven up by the tariffs, were among some of the reasons that lead to the downsizing.
Although the cascade of effects from this policy is still ongoing, there might be something to learn from looking at what happened to the economy after Mr. Barack Obama tariffed Chinese tire imports in 2009. A study from the Peterson Institute of International Economics calculated that the policy had a net effect of killing 2.531 jobs, considering their most generous estimate for the amount of jobs saved by the tariff.
Just like with Mr. Trump, some state that the former President's policy was done in an effort to pander to his base. For example, the Republican Party's nominee for the 2012 presidential election, Mitt Romney, wrote:
President Obama's action to defend American tire companies from foreign competition may make good politics by repaying unions for their support of his campaign, but it is decidedly bad for the nation and our workers.
— Mitt Romney
We should be wary of our own tendencies to defend or to attack these policies (and any others, of course) based on tribalism and sheeplike party allegiances. Instead, we must aim to use the unbiased reasoning needed for successful and fruitful policy decisions.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — The governors of four states and the mayor of the District of Columbia are asking Congressional leaders to boost funding for Chesapeake Bay cleanup.
The governors of Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Delaware and the mayor of Washington, D.C., called on House and Senate committee leaders in a letter released Wednesday to oppose proposed cuts to the federal Chesapeake Bay Program. Instead, they want an increase in funding from $73 million to $90 million.
Last month, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan sent a similar letter to top Congressional leaders after President Donald Trump's administration proposed cutting the program's budget by 90 percent. Hogan is the chair of the Chesapeake Executive Council, which creates policy direction for the restoration and protection of the nation's largest estuary.

The Origins of Female Conservatism in the United States
Kirsten Marie Delegard
At the beginning of the 1920s, no political observer would have predicted that universal suffrage would inspire the growth of a conservative women's movement to counter the power of women reformers. This book describes the birth of that movement, analyzing its enduring legacy for twentieth-century female political activists.
Hardback / £65.00
Why did the political authority of well-respected female reformers diminish after women won the vote? In Battling Miss Bolsheviki Kirsten Marie Delegard argues that they were undercut during the 1920s by women conservatives who spent the first decade of female suffrage linking these reformers to radical revolutions that were raging in other parts of the world. In the decades leading up to the Nineteenth Amendment, women activists had enjoyed great success as reformers, creating a political subculture with settlement houses and women's clubs as its cornerstones. Female volunteers piloted welfare programs as philanthropic ventures and used their organizations to pressure state, local, and national governments to assume responsibility for these programs.
These female activists perceived their efforts as selfless missions necessary for the protection of their homes, families, and children. In seeking to fulfill their "maternal" responsibilities, progressive women fundamentally altered the scope of the American state, recasting the welfare of mothers and children as an issue for public policy. At the same time, they carved out a new niche for women in the public sphere, allowing female activists to become respected authorities on questions of social welfare. Yet in the aftermath of the suffrage amendment, the influence of women reformers plummeted and the new social order once envisioned by progressives appeared only more remote.
Battling Miss Bolsheviki chronicles the ways women conservatives laid siege to this world of female reform, placing once-respected reformers beyond the pale of political respectability and forcing most women's clubs to jettison advocacy for social welfare measures. Overlooked by historians, these new activists turned the Daughters of the American Revolution and the American Legion Auxiliary into vehicles for conservative political activism. Inspired by their twin desires to fulfill their new duties as voting citizens and prevent North American Bolsheviks from duplicating the success their comrades had enjoyed in Russia, they created a new political subculture for women activists. In a compelling narrative, Delegard reveals how the antiradicalism movement reshaped the terrain of women's politics, analyzing its enduring legacy for all female activists for the rest of the twentieth century and beyond.

The Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments in their entirety are God's Word. It is the standard by which we are to order our lives, express our faith, and function as a community.
Salvation is necessary, because humanity has fallen from its initial created estate of perfect relationship with God the Father; that salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone, who is the only begotten Son of God and the only means by which peace can be had with the Father through faith; that faith itself and all other benefits of salvation are applied and strengthed by the work of the Holy Spirit.
As part of Christ's body (the Church), we are committed to worshipping the Father by means of Word and Sacrament on the Lord's Day, and by our manner of life and faith in the world on every other day, as we are empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Nothing of significance happens in God's Kingdom in the absence of prayer. Therefore, we seek to make prayer a priority asking the Lord to lead, restore, heal and transform our lives, our churches, our communities, and the world.
Commitment to Jesus Christ: We believe that salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone. He is the only begotten Son of the Living God. Through Him, all who come to Him by faith and repent of their sins, receive forgiveness through Christ's death on the Cross and live in newness of life through the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. This new life of faith is to be marked by a joyful obedience to Jesus Christ, to God's Word, and to the leading of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 16:15 – 16; Ephesians 2:4 – 10;2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians5:22 – 25).
Authority of Scripture: We believe that the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments in their entirety is God's Word, and is the standard by which we are to order our lives, express our faith, and function as a community (2 Timothy 3:16 – 17).
Evangelism: We believe that we are to live our lives, to make disciples, and to grow our churches in a manner that expresses the loving and longing heart of God for those who are separated from Jesus Christ and His Church (Matthew 9:12 – 13; Luke 15;1 Timothy4:1 – 5).
Authentic Relationships: We are committed to one another in a fellowship which expresses the love, forgiveness, and unity of God as revealed in the relationship of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. We are therefore committed to holding ourselves accountable before God and to one another (John 13:34; 1 John 4:11 – 21).
Worship: We are committed to worship in Word and Sacrament, through the power of the Holy Spirit. Our worship — in glorifying God — is to be authentic and meaningful to our cultural setting while remaining within the breadth of our Anglican Tradition (John 4:23 – 24;1 Corinthians 11:23 – 26; Acts 17:22 – 24).
Servant Ministry: We believe that every Christian is created for ministry, gifted for ministry and needed for ministry. We are, therefore, committed to equip, empower and release each member of Apostles to use their spiritual gifts to glorify God and to build up the Body of Christ (Romans 12: 1 Corinthians 12 – 14).
Sacrificial Giving: We believe that we are to be generous with our time, gifting and money as we share with those in need, support the work of God among us, and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ (1 John 3:17 – 18; Ezra 2:68 – 69; Acts 2:44 – 47). In particular, we commit to strive toward biblical financial stewardship [the Biblical standard of the tithe].
Biblical Leadership: We are committed to identifying and training leaders who are committed to Jesus Christ and to reaching their generation with the gospel. This will require of them an authentic faith, godly character, and a servant's heart (Luke 22:27; Romans 12;1 Corinthians 12 – 13).
Expectant Prayer: We believe that nothing of significance happens in God's Kingdom in the absence of prayer. Therefore, we commit to making prayer a priority — inviting God to lead, restore, heal and transform our lives, our churches, our communities and the world (John 14:15 – 31; Luke 11:1 – 13).
The truth that the Spirit of Holiness is further revealed to be the sole means of both engendering faith and keeping it alive.

The great thrush (Turdus fuscater) is a species of bird in the family Turdidae. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. It is considered as the largest thrush in South America. The great thrush's size distinguishes it from the several other uniform slaty-colored thrushes in its range. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland, and heavily degraded former forest, and it is often found near urban areas.
Turdus fuscater is a typical andean highlands bird. Its range covers the Andes in west and north of Venezuela, where it can reach the zones of Lara and Trujillo. Its range continues to the Andes of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and finally, northwest Bolivia. Precisely in the cities of La Paz and Cochabamba. It can live in an altitudinal range between 1800 and 4000 meters.
This brid can measure between 28 to 30 centimeters and weight between 128 and 175 grams, this is the reason why it is considered as the largest thrush in South America. It can be easily identified by its beak and legs, that show a yellowish-orange color. In addition, this species possesses a ring outside the eye, which is very yellow. This exact characteristic can help identify the species, although it can be lacking in juveniles and females. Another distinguishable trait is its tail, which has long feathers. The color of the feathers is characterized by a black-brown tonality. This color is darker in the wings and tail. In the other hand, it is pale in the belly zone. There can be differences in coloration depending which subspecies we are looking at: ockendeni is the darkest one, followed by quindio and gigantodes. The palest subspecies are gigas, cacozelus and fuscater. It is known, even though is extremely rare, that some thrushes can be albinistic, making their feathers completely white.
In the case of the juveniles, they show feathers that are predominantly greenish gray, and also pale. In the head and the wings we can see some spots of buff color. It can be found in certain individuals a kind of sexual dimorphism. In some cases, males can have yellow legs and the females can show a more brownish tone in its legs.
This bird can be found in a series of diverse habitats. It can be found in open areas such as open forest zones, backyards, parks, and even farmland sided with portions of forests or with some dispersed trees. It is known that they can also inhabit in the edges of different classes of andean forests. An example of those are humid montane forests, secondary forests and temperate forests. It is more likely to be found in zones higher tha 2000 meters. This birds tends to prevent dry ecosystems and densely forested areas. In some cases, it can reach the edges of andean paramo or adapt itself to live in shrublands. It is very common to found these birds in the cities in the highlands, such as Quito and Bogota, where it has adapated to urban life. The populations of this species do not tend to move away from their traditional life zones, so they can be defined as sedentary.
This species of bird can be defined as omnivore. Even if its principal diet is composed by fruits and berries, thay also are capable of consuming earthworms and little insects. The mayority of time it forages, it does it at ground level, with preference in zones of short grass, but it can also perch trees with fruit and shrubs if the situation needs it.
In respect of the behavior of this animal, it changes depending if it is in the breeding season or not. When the breeding season arrives, these birds become very territorial and tend to be alone in most of cases. There are situations in which a pair can be found. When the breeding season passes, they are likely to form groups up to 40 individuals. It is probable that these groups form a communal perch in trees until the next breeding season comes.
They are more active at dawn and dusk, but it is not uncommon to find one or two throughout the day. Most of the time they are active they tend to be hopping on the groud, searching for something to eat. If something scares them they take flight, but they do not fly much.
If we could define the personality of this bird we could say it is aggressive. When it is feeding, it feeds in a voracious way and tends to eat the entire fruits. It is known that it is capable of attacking other birds nests for stealing their eggs or even the hatchlings.
When the pair is established, they build the nest. The nest has a cup shape an is pretty big. It is made generally of small twigs, leaves and grass, united by mud. The placement of the nest is likely found in trees or shrubs at low height. The female lays two eggs of pale blue-greenish color with reddish spots, with an average size of two centimeters.
Upon classification of vulnerability given by the IUCN, this species has been given the grade of Least Concern. It is known that their populations show good numbers and are very far from descending. In addition, they are birds that are very easy to find in a variety of ecosystems. Thay are fully adapted to anthropogenic disturbances, being urban sites, deforestation or farmlands. These birds can take advantage of what humans make and colonize new territories.

Grey Abbey House is a fine Georgian house overlooking Strangford Lough on the Ards Peninsular, County Down. The Estate has remained in the Montgomery family for over 400 years.
A wide variety of trees, shrubs and plants thrive in Grey Abbey's gardens which include a walled vegetable garden, shrub rose borders, orchards and a Southern Hemisphere garden.
The Abbey & Grounds
The grounds adjoin the ruins of a Cistercian abbey, and the surrounding estate encompasses ancient woodland, a slate quarry, a lake and what is believed to be one of the first landscaped parks in Ireland.
An historic background
Grey Abbey is situated on the Ards Peninsula in Co. Down, Northern Ireland. The estate has been in the possession of the Montgomery family since 1607, when Sir Hugh Montgomery (later 1st Viscount Montgomery of The Great Ards) arrived in Co. Down from lowland Scotland.
The present house, built in 1762, is the third to be built on the site overlooking Strangford Lough and comprises many interesting architectural features and fine 18th century plasterwork.
A designated SSI area
Strangford Lough is a designated area of 'Special Scientific Interest' (SSI) and 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' (AONB). The temperate climate supports a diverse flora and fauna on the Grey Abbey Estate.
The Ards Peninsula is popular with bird watchers and other naturalists, due to its propensity of migratory and resident birds.

#March for Our Lives: health activism, diagnostic framing, gun control, and the gun industry
Zoller HM, Casteel D. Health Commun. 2021; ePub(ePub): ePub.
This article investigates #March for Our Lives as health activism. Students organized a social media campaign, major marches and other events after surviving the 2018 school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Many commentators praised the group's success in rallying public attention to gun violence, promoting gun safety legislation, and challenging the National Rifle Association. This critical analysis sheds light on how the students' Twitter activism addressed longstanding framing and attribution practices that impede structural and policy responses to gun violence, including efforts to address the gun industry. We investigated how the activists' diagnostic, prognostic, and motivational framing attributed the causes of gun violence, promoted solutions, and fostered support. The conclusion discusses the implications of #March for Our Lives strategies for our understanding of health social movements, challenges to corporate power and influence, and the politics of framing and illness attributions.


"Insider Art " (35x53x5) is a modern abstract wall sculpture by renouned California sculptor and artist Bruce Gray. This sculpture is a departure from Bruce's metal sculptures, and is constructed in wood and painted by hand in multi colored acrylics.

This unique wall sculpture is currently available for $2400.


The IP litigation boutique founded in 2010 by John Desmarais will open a San Francisco office this December.

John Desmarais took the California bar exam last February and will split his time between the two offices, he said this week.


Built from our customer's feedback and input, the DJ 23 is a modern evolution of productive and enhanced horizontal directional drill units designed by TERRA.
Powered by a proven 101 HP strong DEUTZ Diesel engine (Tier 4 final) the TERRA-JET DJ 23 offers up to 11 tons of thrust and pullback force, 3.100 Nm of torque and a maximum spindle speed of 284 rpm.
The compact, yet powerful machine reduces jobsite footprint and has increased productivity. The fast set up time, the increased movability and a user friendly operator interface make the DJ 23 one of the most productive HDD machines in its class.
Intelligent drilling assistant systems like the thrust control, carve mode, the drill speed control, the ADBSe and the AUTO TORK make the drilling more efficient and more easy. The operator can relax, the machine does the work. The electronical CLP control manages all drilling assistant systems and feels the underground. Like this the machine operates at highest performance. An integrated camera above the driving saddle allows a perfect view on the drill rod connector. It is transferred live on the 12" display in the cabin.
The DJ 23 is equipped with an on-board computer with large 12" screen. It records the torque, the rotation speed, the drilling fluid volume and pressure and the drilling forces according to the German norm DVGW 321. The screen shows all relevant drill data like thrust and pullback forces, the torque, the rotation speed and the drill fluid pressures for a complete bore. Additionally the on-board computer makes the service diagnostics easy.
The high-pressure FMC pump is on board. With an increased drilling volume of 185 ltr/min contractors can face various challenging ground conditions. Optionally TERRA offers an FMC pump with 260 ltr/min of drilling volume.
Conventional HDD machines operate with a two-gear-control. They operate either with high torque at low speed or with high rotation speed at low torque. AutoTork is a new hydraulic-electronic control, which measures the underground and guarantees that the TERRA-JET always operates at its optimum. AutoTork starts at highest rotation speed with 284 rpm. If the ground gets harder and more torque is requiered at the drilling tool, AutoTork automatically increases the torque up to the required value and reduces the rotation speed accordingly.
The DJ 23 has 52 drill rods on board, each 3.05 m (10 ft) long. This adds up to a total drill length of 158.5 m (495 ft). The drill rod magazine is hot‐dip galvanized. This protects the surface. For longer bores you refill the magazine easily and fast or you just exchange the empty drill rod magazine against a full one.
The DJ 23 has a drive remote control. You can use it beside the HDD-machine. The DJ 23 can be driven by sitting in the cabine or walking besides the HDD-drill.

'Hundreds' of breweries volunteer to brew Camp Fire benefit beer with Sierra Nevada
By Alyssa Pereira, SFGATE
Published 12:15 pm PST, Monday, November 19, 2018
Sierra Nevada Brewing Company announced their efforts in brewing a collaborative Camp Fire fundraiser beer with brewers across the country.

Sierra Nevada Brewing Company has been strategic in planning how it might help nearby locals affected by the devastating Camp Fire. Last week, the company launched the Sierra Nevada Camp Fire Relief fund, and seeded it with an initial $100,000. Now, the company founded by brewing pioneer Ken Grossman takes its efforts much further.
As Sierra Nevada writes in a Facebook post, the company sent out a "bat signal" to breweries nationwide, asking breweries to volunteer to make a fundraiser beer and donate 100 percent of the proceeds to the Camp Fire relief.
Sierra Nevada would provide the recipe and as many raw ingredients (malts and hops) as possible to anyone with the bandwidth to take part in the coordinated collaboration brew day on Nov. 27.
"Hundreds" of breweries stepped forward to brew the beer, a 6.7 percent traditional West Coast-style IPA that Sierra Nevada dubbed the Resilience Butte County Proud IPA. Some brewing companies, including San Diego's Mike Hess Brewing, Ontario's Strum Brewing, Redding's Final Draft Brewing Company, Virginia's Hardywood Park and Portland, Ore.'s Ex Novo Brewing and others also pledged their support in the Facebook comments.
Among those taking part locally in the fundraiser are Santa Rosa's Russian River Brewing — who themselves organized a similarly massive fundraising effort after the Tubbs Fire last year — as well as Livermore's Altamont, Oakland United Beerworks, Sonoma Springs Brewing, San Francisco's Speakeasy, and Berkeley's Fieldwork.
Sierra Nevada is hoping to release more than 2,000 BBLs (barrels) of the beer, both in cans and in kegs for draft lines around the country.

April 29, 2021 by The Musical Autist Leave a Comment
Hello again! Thank you so much to everyone who tuned into, shared, and supported our Songs with a Purpose Autism Acceptance Streamraiser, which took place on April 2nd, 3rd, and 4th! We are happy to report that across all three nights, we raised a grand total of $710, which means that we were able to donate $355 to both The Musical Autist and the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN). (Please read the Disclaimer at the end of this post regarding ASAN, and SWAP's recent decision to no longer donate to this organization.) That is an amazing feat, and we couldn't have done it without any of you, so once again and forever, THANK YOU!
If you were unable to attend, but would still like to watch the streamraiser in all its glory, we will be editing down all three nights into individual clips for each band/artist, and uploading those to the SWAP YouTube channel over the next coming weeks, so stay tuned! To check out and/or subscribe to our Songs With A Purpose YouTube channel!
Pic ID: The artwork for the Songs with a Purpose Autism Acceptance Compilation Album (available now on our Bandcamp), which features the official SWAP logo of two circular arrows, but instead of black, they have multiple rainbow colors, red/yellow/orange in the left arrow and green/blue/purple in the right arrow, over a white background, with a rainbow border surrounding the logo.
Additionally, I wanted to let you know about something cool we like to do after every streamraiser. As a way to further promote the artists we work with, and to make more money for the organizations we're sponsoring (The Musical Autist and your musicians, we're talking about you!), we release a compilation album, exclusively on our Bandcamp, which features studio versions of the songs that artists performed on the streamraiser, as well as live tracks, in the case that artists haven't officially released a studio version of their song online. If you'd like to check it out, visit https://swaprecords.bandcamp.com/!
Pic ID: The logo for SWAP Records, which is the moniker Songs with a Purpose uses for producing and distributing music, on sites such as Bandcamp, which features the two white circular arrows of the original Songs with a Purpose logo, with the lines drawn coming out of/in between the two arrows to create an S and a D, and the rest of the letters in SWAP Records drawn in around said arrows.
There are 19 tracks (8 of which feature self-identifying autistic musicians, including one of TMA's content writers, Jennifer Msumba, one of TMA's board members, Will Swartz, TMA's co-founder, Sunny Cefaratti, and myself, Mitchell Matthews), the album costs $20, and each song costs $1 (though, those are the minimum prices; Bandcamp rocks a pay-what-you-want model, so while you have to pay those minimum amounts to get your song/album, you can choose to pay more if you want, to further support what we're doing and the artists/organizations involved (though, that is not required; your generosity in buying the songs/album at minimum price is more than enough)).
In terms of how we split profits up, in order to be fully transparent with you, let's break it down based on if someone buys an individual song, versus if someone buys the entire album. If someone were to buy Jennifer's song, "Dandelion," 50% of the profits would go to her, 40% would be split up equally amongst The Musical Autist and the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN), and 10% would go to Songs with a Purpose. If someone were to buy the entire compilation album, 50% of the profits would be split equally amongst all of the artists featured on said album, 40% would be split up equally amongst TMA and ASAN, and 10% would go to SWAP.
Pic ID: The artwork for the Songs With A Purpose Christmas Streamraiser 2020 Compilation Album (available now on our Bandcamp), which features the two white circular arrows of the original Songs with a Purpose logo, overlaid on a green holiday wreath with a red bow and yellow music notes.
And, if you enjoy the Autism Acceptance Compilation Album, and are interested in any of our other compilation albums, our Christmas Streamraiser Compilation Album is still available to purchase on Bandcamp as well. The album features 5 artists who performed on our Christmas Streamraiser in December 2020, Grady Philip Drugg, Trauma Centaur, Darrian, Thames, and Rosewood, and the profits made from said album will be split up in the same manner as the Autism Acceptance Compilation Album, between the artists involved, SWAP, and two great organizations we partnered with in December: Crisis Aid International, who provide life-saving services and hope to the most vulnerable populations in St. Louis and parts of East Africa, and Southwest Missouri Solidarity Network, a grassroots mutual aid organization that serves people marginalized by capitalism, such as the large homeless population in Springfield, MO (note: our Christmas streamraiser was primarily raising money for COVID-19 relief, and both of these organizations are providing excellent means of COVID-19 relief to their respective communities).
In conclusion, as I mentioned in my last blog post, I want to thank The Musical Autist for being such a great partner to work with, and for showing me such love, and providing me with countless connections and opportunities in the short time we have been working together, including the chance to talk about our compilation album with all of you. Additionally, I want to, again, thank you, dear reader, for reading and sharing what I write, and I hope to touch base again with you soon.
DISCLAIMER: The Autistic Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN) [the other organization we raised money for on the Autism Acceptance Streamraiser, and originally for this compilation album] has recently come under fire for stealing the work of a BIPOC autistic creator (@autistictyping on Instagram and Twitter), and seemingly white-washing it for their own means/audience. This will be further touched on in my next blog post, which will be an interview with fellow BIPOC autistic creator Tim Boykin (@kidish_bambino on Instagram, @blackautisticking on TikTok), who previously performed on the streamraiser, but I wanted to include it here first to keep everyone in the loop. At the time of the streamraiser, this controversy had not yet taken place, so keep in mind that the first paragraph is written strictly in a past tense, and moving forward, I will be directing all the appropriate percentages made from the compilation album towards TMA, and not splitting them with ASAN.

Scottish Drugs Forum's commitment to volunteers recognised with national award
As recognition of Scottish Drugs Forum's provision of support and opportunities for volunteers, the organisation has been awarded a prestigious Investing in Volunteers award.
The accolade, which is seen as a benchmark of quality throughout the UK, is presented to organisations that carry out best practice in regards to the management of volunteers.
SDF has a long and proud history of working with volunteers who have a history of problem substance use through various activity including our pioneering peer-research projects. Within these projects -currently operating in Tayside, Fife, East Dunbartonshire and East Ayrshire – volunteers are trained in research and interview skills to become peer researchers and are supported to carry out research studies within their local area.
In recent years, there has been welcome recognition of the work carried out by SDF's skilled volunteers and as a result there has been an increase in demand for their services. In 2017 SDF sought to increase our volunteering capacity through the recruitment of a National Volunteer Coordinator who helped standardise volunteer processes so as to provide the best possible experience for our volunteers.
The award was presented at SDF's annual national volunteer gathering, which took place in Glasgow on the 13th of December to commemorate International Volunteers Day.
Speaking to volunteers at the event, SDF's CEO Dave Liddell said:
"There is no doubt of the contribution that volunteers make to SDF's work. The responses they have gathered from individuals have informed much of our research findings – many of which have had a direct impact on policy in Scotland.
"This work however could not take place without the support of local funders in each of the areas and therefore we thank them for their continued faith in the projects and for allowing us to provide these potentially life-changing opportunities."
The award considers nine key indicators of excellence in volunteering which include the organisation being aware of the need for volunteer recognition, protecting volunteers from harm and clear procedures for introducing volunteers into their roles and integrating them into the team.
Emma Hamilton, SDF's Head of Inclusion and Peer Engagement stated upon receiving the award:
"We are delighted to have been recognised by Investing in Volunteers for the management and support of volunteers. For many, volunteering will be the next step in their recovery from problem drug or alcohol use and it is our duty to ensure that they feel supported throughout this process.
"Our volunteers continue to impress with the quality of their work output, commitment and dedication to their roles and therefore, it is right that SDF strives to equal this commitment through investment in our procedures."
A stage of the Investing in Volunteers process was gaining testaments from current volunteers. One of the participants stated: "Look at me, I'm actually delivering rehabilitation training in the prison where I was once an inmate!" with another sharing their thoughts on attitudes towards them: "people actually listen to me now. I do trauma training for the police".
SDF will retain the Investing in Volunteers award for three years, at which point the processes to recruit and support volunteers will be reviewed to ensure high standards are maintained.

Boao Forum for Asia Launching Conference
Leaders and former leaders from 25 countries in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Asia and Australia attended inaugural conference of Boao Forum for Asia, which is the symbol of Asia's prosperity, stability and harmony on February 27, 2001 in Boao, Hainan.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
East Asia has suffered the financial crisis in 1997. In the face of this kind of blow and competitions of other economic plates, more and more Asian countries have realized the inequality in international trade and investment and even the whole world economic order, the inequality in the transfer of finance, investment and technology and the inequality in interests and loss that globalization brings. The Asian countries have also realized that economic globalization brings new opportunity as well as severe challenge for Asia, and they need seek countermeasures that can bring profits and avoid disadvantages in time. When seeing the further development of European economic integration and North American Free Trade Area (NAFTA), the bad organization degree and the lag-behind state of economic integration in Asia and the fact that the absence of Asia' voice in international multilateral co-operation mechanism, more and more Asian countries have realized strongly at present that to promote the whole competitiveness of Asian area, they must strengthen dialogue, coordination and cooperation among Asian countries.
Against this backdrop, in 1998, former Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke, former Japanese Prime Minister Morihiro Hosokawa and former Filipino President Fidel V. Ramos put forward the proposal to establish an "Asian Forum." This proposal was warmly received by the related Asian countries.
Former Filipino President Fidel V. Ramos and former Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke came to China to promote the idea of the "Asian Forum" in October, 1999. At that time the vice-president Hu Jintao has expressed the support attitude of China too.
Supported by China and other related countries, through the joint efforts of various fields, the idea of Boao Forum for Asia has been put into practice.

For customers, your first impression is always the lasting impression. This may sound old, but without any doubt this is reality of today's business world. Any customer, who walks into an office or a workplace that is clean will immediately impress. This is only possible by the visible efforts and this way you can keep an office organised. A company should be particular in its conduct and dealings of business. This is an office cleaning service that can make an establishment sparkle with warmth. At the same time, efforts can transmit a sense of cleanliness and textbook smartness by adding a considerable value to the business.
Clean environment is a must for a healthy place. For offices cleaning services in Canberra and Sydney, you must have to give these professionals some suitable time. Your employees might be physically present for 40 to 42 hours every week in the workplace. They always want to healthy environment in these whole hours. It is necessary for every individual to work in an environment that is duly sanitized and not send an invitation to the illness related diseases. On the one hand, spending on the medical benefits is also great for the affected employees. On the other hand, an increase in the employee downtime could lead to the delays in the project implementation. Cleaning services are must and considered as an integral contributor to the overall productivity of a business.
In regards to the office cleaning frequency, there is no room for the two opinions. As a business owner, you should know that the occupational density per square foot in the commercial spaces is far higher than the residential environment. In addition to this, the deficit in your personal ownership for maintaining a tidy or clean environment is essential. There is no need to go for any alternative other than commercial cleaning companies. Make sure, you make a daily cleaning arrangement for the service providers. The time should be taken into consideration for the daily service, as it is one of the major factors in the arrangement. Needless to say, but no business establishment should be disrupted during business hours by the professional cleaning staff.
Normally, professional cleaning companies work in the early morning time slots. In such a way, they are in the office premises before anyone came to kick start the day. Ordinarily, 2 to 3 hours are adequate for the thorough office cleaning. Every space need to be cleaned within short time taken, but this should complement the need of employees. Make sure, it is not deputed with the work of employees. Once your working hours commence, only your employees are in the office. Some of their professionals should remain till the closure of regular shift, as they help in providing washroom cleaning once in every two hours. Cleaning up the storeroom and any emissions is necessary for the healthy environment.
The cleaning services should cover the surface areas of the entire office area such as workstations, record rooms, pantry and washrooms. In addition, everything should be wiped clean like furniture, fittings, fixtures, appliances such as fans, tube lights, wash basins, taps, window glass panes, mirrors, sinks, computers, telephones, chairs and tables.
When you are taking a cleaning service, make sure it will be provided by a professional team. They will ensure you the use of bio-degradable chemicals and friendly disinfectants. Depending upon the surface that need to be cleaned, you should make sure that they are efficient in their service. No matter, it is steel, plastic, ceramic or wood, the cleaners should be skilled enough in their technique. In addition, they should be proficient in providing Strata cleaning services in Sydney.
