Christianity and the Origins of Democracy – the Sixteenth Century: Part 4
View of John Knox that Princes and the People themselves have a Right and Duty to Depose an Unjust Monarch Preventing the Establishment of True Religion
In his view of the relationship between the king and his subjects, Calvin allowed that unjust rulers could be deposed by the inferior magistrates, but stressed the subject's duty to obey established authority, even when it was corrupt. John Knox, however, believed that the aristocracy and the estates also had their authority granted by God, and so had the right and duty to defend the innocent, punish criminals and establish proper religion. If the monarch refused to allow religion to be reformed, and the true faith to be established, then it was the duty of the aristocracy and the estates to depose them. If the aristocracy and estates refused to do this, then it was the duty of the people themselves to reform the church, a view he addressed directly to the people themselves in his Letter to the Commonalty. This view, that the people themselves had the right and duty to rebel against their social superiors when they were unjust and prevented the proper establishment of true religion, was immensely radical in an age when government and politics was viewed as the exclusive activity of princes and aristocrats, to whom the masses of ordinary people should be loyal and obey, but who were otherwise excluded from government and their political participation was viewed with suspicion and distrust.
View of Goodman that Kings Owed their Power to the People, and so can Depose Unjust Monarchs
Knox was not alone in his views, however. The English Calvinist, Christopher Goodman, stated in his book, How Superior Powers ought to be obeyed of their subjects; wherein they may lawfully by God's word be disobeyed and resisted, published in Geneva in 1558 that kings owed their power and their authority to their acceptance as kings by their people, and that ordinarily they should be respected. Like Knox, he also believed that the aristocracy was ordained by God to defend their nation's true religion, laws and prosperity and to act to limit and restrain the king's power. Kings were also God's subjects, and like everyone else they were obliged to work to the best of their ability in their vocation. If they abused their position, they could be deposed and punished. This was not just the duty of the aristocracy, but also of ordinary people, who are required to reform the church if the king and aristocracy refuse to do so.
View of Ponet that God Established Government for Human Welfare, but Form of the Government Left to Humanity to Decide
Another Protestant exile from the reign of Mary Tudor in England, John Ponet, also believed in and expounded the right of the subjects themselves to overthrow an oppressive monarch. Ponet had been bishop of Rochester and Winchester during the Reign of Edward VI before he sought refuge in Strasbourg after Mary's accession, publishing his treatise on government, A Shorte Treatise of Politicke Power in 1556. Unlike Mariana and Buchanan, for example, who believed that government arose out of humanity's natural inclination for company and co-operation, or the need for protection from aggression when in the primeval phase of human existence, Ponet believed that humanity was too corrupt to govern itself through reason. He attributed the belief that it was possible to the ancient pagans, and considered that history demonstrated that they had been wrong. Ponet believed that human actions should be guided by divine law, which is the law of nature. However, humans did not obey law unless coerced, and so God had created political power for humanity's benefit, granting humanity the power to legislate for itself and enforce such legislation with appropriate punishment, including execution. God did not, however, specify which form of government humans were to adopt. That was left to humanity itself. God did not grant authority to only one individual, but to the community, as a co-operative association based on the reciprocal need of each individual for every other. It was the community that maintained justice and general welfare.
View that Best Form of Government Mixed Government of Monarchy, Aristocracy and Democracy, and that Power of Monarch Limited by Constitution and God's Law
Ponet did not believe that any people could sensibly give unlimited power to a prince, and so considered the best form of government to be a mixed constitution where sovereignty was shared between the prince and a parliamentary assembly. England, France and Germany were all ruled by this form of government. Even those monarchs who ruled without a parliamentary assembly were subject to constitutional limits to their authority. They were bound by God's law, and so could only legislate on relatively unimportant matters. Furthermore, Ponet urged that people should not automatically accept legislation that was merely human in origin. Laws must be considered and obeyed on their own merits, and not because of the authority of the people who had passed them. While people owed kings their love and loyalty, their first loyalty was to God, then their country and only afterwards to the monarch. He regarded princes as merely members of the commonwealth, which could exist without them. He stated that princes were liable unjustly to seize their subject's property as their own, alter the coinage and raise taxes, political conduct that Ponet declared to be mere brigandage. They did not hold of themselves their kingdom, but simply had it in stewardship. Under the law of nature, people had the right to depose and execute oppressive rulers and tyrants, and so the community had the ability to withdraw the authority it had granted to the prince. While this should be done by the community as a whole, private assassination was justified in some circumstances.
Demands for Religious Toleration for Roman Catholics and Protestants by Edwin Sandys in England
Apart from the ability of the subject or citizen to take part in the process of making political decision, one of the great pillars of modern democracy is freedom of conscience. While both Roman Catholics and Protestants in the Sixteenth century generally wished to suppress each others' religions through force, there was also a profound desire amongst many Christians for unity and toleration in Christendom. Edwin Sandys, a son of the Archbishop of York and pupil of Richard Hooker, in his A Relation of the State of Religion, criticised the intolerance of both Roman Catholics and Protestants. Both Roman Catholics and Protestants were Christians, and shared the same fundamental beliefs and doctrines that were the essence of Christianity. The doctrinal points that divided them could never be decided for certain. Thus, he felt, that Roman Catholics and Protestants should respect each other, and that the unity of Christendom could be restored through the establishment of a European church based on the Christian doctrines held by both Roman Catholic and Protestant. This was to be done either by a general council, which would impose its authority on the Pope and other participants in the controversy, or by the princes, though he did not feel that they could be trusted to put this into action. In order to put an end to religious disunity and conflict, Sandys wished to prohibit the claims to superiority by the various sects and faiths in Christendom. Instead of persecuting the various Christian sects, governments should instead force them to respect each other. He did not, however, believe that anti-Christian opinions should be tolerated, and so did not advocate modern concepts of secular democracy.
Demands for Toleration of Roman Catholics and Protestants in France by Politiques
The Politiques in France had expressed similar views rather earlier. They were mostly Roman Catholics, but also some Protestants, who regarded with horror the devastation, caused by the Wars of Religion, and felt that the only way to save France from further carnage and destruction was through negotiation and peace with the Huguenots. A 1574 pamphlet described the suffering inflicted on all classes in France by the War, and called for the Huguenots to join a states-general to bring about peace and save France from further destruction. Other pamphlets noted the moral damage the wars had caused, and the way they had discredited Christianity as a whole. The Huguenot writer La Noue declared that the wars had created a million libertines and Epicureans, while other writers stated that religious persecution had not suppressed heresy, but created only atheists. They argued strongly that the only way for states to survive and prosper was by tolerating two religions, and that the state should be above any specific religion. They also strongly argued that the existence of two religions in a country did not necessarily produce civil conflict or disunity, a point of view shared by Henry of Navarre himself. The Politiques were extremely sceptical about the claims of the Churches to possess the sole religious truth, but believed strongly that Roman Catholics and Protestants shared the same, basic, fundamental points of Christian doctrine. Thus the toleration of both Roman Catholicism and Protestantism did not threaten the Christian nature of civil society, which was based on the fundamental Christian principles held in common by both Roman Catholic and Protestant. In 1590 the pamphlet Le Pacifique attempted to demonstrate the agreement between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism on fundamental doctrinal points in the form of a dialogue between a Roman Catholic and Protestant, who discover that the share the same basic Christian beliefs.
Demands for Religious Toleration by Sebastien Castillion
Similar views on toleration were held and strongly argued by the humanist Sebastien Castellion and Giacomo Contio, or Acontius. In his De Haereticis an sint persequandi of 1542-5, possibly written with a little assistance from Lelio Sozini, who held Unitarian views, and Martin Borrhee, and his Contra libellum Calvini, written in response to Calvin's participation in the execution of Michael Servetus for heresy in Geneva, De Arte Dubitandi, the Four Dialogues of 1578, and the Conseil a la France desolee of 1562, Castellion argued for religious toleration. In the De Haereticis he attempted to support his arguments by quotations from some of the early Church Fathers and contemporary theologians and religious authorities such as Luther, Erasmus and Calvin himself. He considered that because there were points of doctrine that could not be decided for certain, all that could be required of people is that they attempt to understand the Word of God and follow it according to their conscience. Castellion felt that Christianity consisted in the knowledge that Christ was the Son of God and that his teachings were divine. He did not believe that religion lay in either ceremonies or beliefs that people could not understand, and firmly stated that Scripture did not support the persecution of those of different religious opinions. One defended religion not by killing for it, but by suffering death. He did, however, believe that the government had the right to punish those who denied the resurrection, the immortality of the soul and the authority of the government, though they should not be executed.
Demands for Complete Freedom of Conscience by Acontius
Acontius was a military engineer who had been employed by Pescara in Milan and Queen Elizabeth in England. In his Strategematum Satanae of 1565 he argued that most people formed their beliefs without the guidance of either reason or God, simply accepting tradition or the opinions of the mass of people around them. They are intolerant of others, partly because they cannot bear to accept that their beliefs may be wrong. He argued that religious controversy and wars were Satan's way of causing trouble and destruction on Earth. He believed that there were a few basic beliefs necessary for salvation, but that most of Christian doctrine was simply speculation without any real value. He argued that only those doctrines that affected human conduct on Earth had any value. Magistrates had no power to punish heresy, not just because they had no power themselves to do so, but also because there was so much difference in opinion between the Churches on what was heretical that they too had little authority to make such decisions. He believed that there should be absolute freedom of religion, and that people came to the truth through doubt and free inquiry and discussion. For Acontius, those who undoubtedly possessed extremely heretical doctrines should be punished merely with excommunication, which should be a source of regret rather than anger and hatred.
Contribution of Christian Humanists to Education and their Stress on Tolerance and Dialogue rather than Conflict
Another fundamental pillar of democracy is the belief in the value of education, and that a just society and good government must be based on informed, educated opinion. In this area too the Christian humanists of the 16th century made a profound contribution. Erasmus believed that humans could be assisted to become good as they possessed free will, though this free will itself had to be aided in its turn by God's grace. The human will could be directed towards goodness through religious devotion and learning. For Erasmus, if princes were educated according to humanist principles, the result would be a good society where princes ruled justly and, following Christ, established peace instead of war. As a result, he and other humanists, such as John Colet in England, established schools and academies. Their influence on the aristocracy was profound. Although their political ideas of a just society was Utopian, their idea of an educated aristocracy informed by humanist culture nearly became reality, so that after the mid-sixteenth century even minor members of the nobility had libraries showing a wide variety of interests. 26 Moreover, Erasmus and his followers, although entirely orthodox Roman Catholics, stressed the importance of dialogue, toleration and the importance of settling matters peacefully, rather than resorting to force. Their stress on God's love for humanity, rather than His judgement of their actions, influenced Reginald Pole, Contarini, Castellion and the Socinians, and his advocacy of a tolerant Christianity was immensely popular in Spain, especially amongst the Conversos, whose ancestors had converted to Christianity from Judaism to avoid expulsion and persecution. 27
Both View that Power of the Monarch Absolute and that Royal Power Limited by the Constitution and Sovereignty of the People existed in Sixteenth Century
Thus, although much of the political theory of the sixteenth century stressed the absolute power of the monarch and the duty of their subjects to obey them, there were also other political views, held and defended by both Roman Catholics and Protestants across Europe, that stressed instead the constitutional limits on monarchical power, the importance and role in government of representative assemblies and right and even duty of subjects to resist and depose unjust rulers. Political theorists, theologians and philosophers in England, Scotland, France, Geneva and Switzerland considered that governments had been established for the benefit of their peoples, not the rulers', that societies and governments were based on contracts and covenants between their members, rulers and the Almighty, and that monarchs owed their power not to any personal virtue, but because the community delegated it to them. The power of the monarch was limited by the law of God and natural law. Princes and parliaments acted as constitutional checks to monarchs to prevent oppression, and who were also representatives of the community and so had a duty to protect their ancient rights. If kings exceeded the bounds of their authority or failed to establish true religion, they could be overthrown by the aristocracy and other leading governmental officials and institutions, or even by private citizens. These views were based on medieval political theory, contemporary interpretation of Scripture and the necessity amongst Roman Catholics and Protestants wishing to defend their religion and defeat and destroy their opponents of finding theoretical support for their resistance to persecution, oppression or the authorities' failure to maintain the true faith.
Sixteenth Century also Period of Demonds for Religious Toleration, and Improvements in Education
Alongside these demands for political freedom were criticisms of both Roman Catholics and Protestants for their intolerance, and demands for an end to religious persecution and freedom of conscience amongst a very few individual political theorists. Furthermore, the Christian humanist belief that the human will could be formed and directed towards goodness through education led to the foundation of schools and libraries, and an attitude of tolerance and dialogue rather than violent coercion.
Influence of Demands for Constitutional Limits to Monarchy and Participation in Government of People and Representative Assemblies and Religious Toleration Limited in 16th Century, but had strong Influence in 17th Century England
The impact of these ideas was limited, however. Although princes in Poland, Hungary and elsewhere granted toleration to various Christian denominations and sects, this did not necessarily prevent them from acquiring increasing power over their tenants' lives and properties, so that during the 16th century serfdom increased. In western Europe, in France, Germany and Spain political power became increasingly centralised in the monarch and representative institutions, such as the estates, declined in importance, eventually to produce the absolutist monarchies of the 18th century. Nevertheless, these doctrines continued to have an effect. The Vindiciae, although largely abandoned by the Huguenots shortly after its publication, influenced contemporary Dutch political ideas and considerably influenced English political theories in the 17th century. 28 Castellion's demands for religious toleration influenced the radical theologian, Dirck Volckentzoon Coornhert. In turn, he influenced Arminius, who otherwise strongly opposed and argued against his theology. Arminius' religious views strongly influenced British theology and political theories in the 17th century, during the British Civil War/ War of the Three Kingdoms. In England although it was not noticed at the time, claims such as Thomas Smith's that it was parliament that really represented every individual in the country pointed towards the Civil War in the next century. 29 Thus, while Europe generally became more authoritarian following the sixteenth century, nevertheless the political theories stressing the constitutional limits on monarchical governments and the role of representative assemblies influenced the Netherlands and Britain, creating the ideas for greater religious and political freedom that were to appear in the 17th century and which found practical expression in the British Civil War/ War of the Three Kingdoms and the development of modern, political theories like John Locke's.

It's such an understated song. I was expecting them to belt it out back and forth (kinda like her and Nate on JGMAR), especially after like the 2:45 min mark when the song builds up for a moment and becomes very James Vincent McMorrow Post Tropical-esque with the chorals. But it doesn't go there and it obviously doesn't want to—and that's beautiful too.
I like it and it gets better with every listen.
Also adore the video! The whole theater mixed with forestry elements is such a nice atmospheric touch.

Modiki - Lazzoni - Life. Rising.
We were asked to develop a new brand positioning for Lazzoni furniture. The Lazzoni brand has many dimensions. Modern design. Quality. Perfection. It's inspirational and aspirational. It's a brand for better living. It's a brand for people who choose to live well. It's a brand for people who choose to live beautifully. To demonstrate this positioning in our executions, we decided to show people in their beautiful and well-decorated homes, appreciating everything their hard work and excellent taste has brought them. The view may be spectacular, but the furniture in the room is what's matters.

John Walters
"CCM professors and staff put a lot of effort into helping their students succeed."
Major: Chemistry
John Walters, '17, started out studying welding in high school. Now, he will be attending New Jersey Medical School to complete his MD and pursue a career in emergency medicine. County College of Morris (CCM) helped him make the pivotal switch.
As a child, Walters was interested in the medical field. He would often play doctor and read about the human body. That interest, however, dwindled when he entered high school.
"I was distracted and uninterested in learning," Walters says. He decided to specialize in welding in high school because his father was a carpenter. "I thought I would study something similar to what my dad did."
When he took a chemistry course his junior year in high school, it changed his academic trajectory. "It was the first course I was interested in," he says. "But I needed to complete my specialty in welding. I had plans to get an internship after graduation, but there were a lot of questions about the profession that I had."
After a friend recommended he take a look at CCM, he enrolled as a chemistry student following his high school graduation.
"CCM gave me the confidence to pursue such a rigorous course of study," he says. "I needed to work with my mind just as hard as I would work with my hands."
After earning his associate degree, he completed a bachelor's degree in biochemistry at Montclair State University. At New Jersey Medical School, he plans to earn his medical degree so he can pursue his dream of becoming an emergency room physician. "I'm interested in the wide breadth of patient populations you find in an emergency room," he says.
He credits his success to the help he found at CCM. "CCM professors and staff put a lot of time and effort into helping their students," says Walters.
As a CCM student, he took advantage of many of the student support services, including Transfer Services.
"CCM does an excellent job making the transfer process as easy as possible," he says. "They made me aware of NJ Transfer and how I could utilize it." That service assists community colleges students with transferring their college credits to a four-year state institution.
"I would 100 percent recommend CCM," Walters says. "It's much more than a community college."

Hawaiian BBQ Chicken & Pineapple Risotto – This Girl Loves to Eat!
In case you've missed my posts from the last two days, I'm in love with my new T-Fal 6 quart electric pressure cooker!
Most nights my husband makes a brief stop at home after work before heading to the gym, then back home to spend some quality time on his stationary bike while I'm holding down the fort and figuring out/preparing (or ordering) what we'll be eating for dinner. That didn't leave me a lot of time (if any) to get my early evening workout in and I felt more like a short order cook than a valued member of my household. Realizing how much time & effort the pressure cooker saves me has changed my attitude and freed me up to get back to my post-work workouts too!
Tonight's dinner did take some extra time because it involved cooking two separate dishes in the slow cooker, but the short time needed for the risotto to cook allowed me to prep the main dish for it's turn in the pot! Next time I will prepare the rice/grain/potato side earlier in the day and reheat so dinner can still be prepped in one step.
Preheat the pressure cooker to the brown setting.
Pour contents of 20 ounce can of crushed pineapple (in juice not syrup) in to a 4 cup measuring cup. Add water to equal 4 cups + an additional cup and set aside.
Add 1 TBLS Olive Oil to the pressure cooker then 2 cups Arborio Rice and lightly toast it. The rice will turn from solid white to translucent as it absorbs the oil, then back to white. When a couple of grains look golden your rice is toasted!
Add about 2 TBLS of sweet wine (like Moscato) and stir the rice until the wine has fully evaporated.
Pour the contents of the measuring cup and the additional water to the pressure cooker, mix, close and lock the lid. Set to cook on high for 6 minutes.
When timer sounds, release the pressure and open the cooker. Remove the inner pot from the cooker immediately to keep the rice from over-cooking. The rice may still be slightly liquid. Stir, and the rice will absorb the extra liquid in about 30 seconds. If the rice is still very wet, put the open pressure cooker back in the base unit set to brown, and finish cooking it this way. It's ok if it's a little sticky for this recipe.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, BBQ sauce and crushed red peppers. If you are using canned pineapples, drain 1/2 of the juice into the BBQ sauce mixture.
Add the chicken pieces to the measuring and stir to coat.
Layer the pineapple on the bottom of the pressure cooker pan. If using fresh or frozen pineapple chunks add 1/2 cup water.
Pile the chicken on top of the pineapple but do not mix together.
Pour the remaining sauce over the top of everything and close/lock the lid.
Cook on medium for 9 minutes then push button to release steam/pressure and unlock lid.
Remove the chicken & pineapple from the pressure cooker with tongs and turn unit to the brown setting.
Add 1 1/2 TBLS Cornstarch to 1/4 cup or so cold water then pour into sauce and whisk for about 1 minute to thicken.
Pour thickened sauce over the removed chicken and pineapple.
Pile a good amount of the pineapple risotto on the plate and cover it with some of the chicken, pineapple and sauce. Sprinkle a bit of coconut and green onions on top and enjoy!

Ukraine has significantly increased a share of the nuclear energy in the overall energy balance of the country.
President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko stated this at a meeting of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) on Thursday, February 16, the president's press service reports.
"I am pleased to inform that we have increased the share of nuclear energy in the overall energy balance. From 47% we are rapidly approaching 60%. This is millions of tons of coal Ukraine no longer needs," he said.
President Poroshenko welcomed the development of projects on modernization of generating capacities that use anthracite coal and transfer to the coal of the gas group.
"It goes about a significant increase in the coefficient of efficiency and operation with any types of fuel. This work must be started immediately despite the fact that it will take 2-3 years," the President said.
In addition, President Poroshenko informed about his agreements with Polish and Chinese partners regarding the modernization of Ukrainian energy companies.
"We have discussed the attraction of credit resources with my Polish colleagues and the opportunity of redirecting Chinese loans with President of China Xi Jinping. There are all necessary positions for that," Petro Poroshenko said.

New York Times Will Offer Buyouts For Employees
Jay Yarow
The New York Times (NYT) will be offering buyouts to some of its employees as a way to save money, the Newspaper Guild announced last night. Details are still being worked out.
The union also said the paper will restore salaries to their previous level starting January 1, 2010. Staffers took a 5% pay cut in March to help the company slog through the tough times.
Here's the relevant bit via Romenesko:
In response to a proposal by New York Guild President Bill O'Meara, Times Senior Vice President of Operations and labour Terry Hayes said the company would agree to offer a voluntary buyout. However, both also agreed that further discussions would be necessary to work out the parameters of the program, including such factors as eligibility, timing and the number of buyouts available. Hayes added that The Times was agreeable to a buyout "because the Guild and its members 'stepped up' to help the newspaper" by agreeing to the temporary pay reduction a few months ago.
When asked about the pay reduction, Hayes said Guild members are "guaranteed" to have their money restored on January 1, 2010, as specified in the agreement negotiated by the Guild.
Also at the meeting, Guild committee members presented a list of ideas to help the company save money in a variety of ways, such as more flexible use of compensatory time, bringing back the four-day workweek (for five days pay), and even reducing the massive amount of paper used in the building. The Guild also introduced several ideas on how its members may be able to help increase circulation.
It should be noted that the meeting took place in a spirit of cooperation between the Guild and management. Hayes said, "We all need to work together in this economic environment." O'Meara agreed, adding that the Guild was committed to helping to make sure that The Times remains successful.

The History of the World Cup – 2010 Edition
Read by Bob Wilson
The World Cup is the largest sports event outside the summer Olympics: the progress of the 32 countries which qualify for the finals is watched by billions all over the globe. Since the very first World Cup in Uruguay in 1930, there have been 18 finals, held every four years (with a 12-year break over the World War II period). The World Cup in South Africa will be the 19th. Brian Glanville, the distinguished journalist and World Cup historian, has written a fascinating history of the event. Here are the men who played, the goals they scored, the triumphs, the failures, the shocks and the scandals. Here are the stories of heroes – Pele, Eusebio, Bobby Charlton, Franz Beckenbauer, Johann Cruyff, Diego Maradona and many more – as well as the villains, the managers, the referees and the football politicians. It is one of the greatest stories of world sport.

He also became the first English-born player to be capped for Scotland. In 1974 he embarked on a second career in sports journalism for BBC Television. He presented Football Focus for twenty years and was also a regular presenter of Grandstand, Sportsnight, and Breakfast Sport. In August 1994 he was lured to the rival channel as ITV's football presenter.

The History of the World Cup (unabridged)
Titles by Brian Glanville
While the history of soccer's World Cup is summarized chronologically, the players' stories are not as detailed. Instead, the book focuses on the criticism of referees throughout its examination of the games. Narrator Bob Wilson, a former player, knows the sport and keeps to a steady pace; his clear British accent never wanders into overt excitement or derision. Musical interludes serve as breaks, and an interview with former player Sir Bobby Charlton is included at the end. Soccer fans and World Cup buffs, rejoice. Novices, though, might want to watch a few matches before delving into this history.

Overall Podium: (2) Josh Strang (1) Kailub Russell (3) Chris Bach. Photo: Ken Hill.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va (April 3, 2016) – The third round of the 2016 AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) Series presented by Maxxis, an AMA National Championship, took place today, April 3 at the beautiful Steele Creek Campground in Morganton, North Carolina with the 17th Annual FMF Steele Creek GNCC. With a mix of sun and mild temperatures the groundwork was laid for one of the best races thus far in the season. At the end of the grueling three-hour race it was FMF/KTM Factory Racing's Kailub Russell who claimed the overall win.
As the green flag dropped it was Russell's teammate, Charlie Mullins who headed into the woods first earning himself the $125 All Balls Racing Holeshot Award. Perhaps this start served as the confidence boost that Mullins needed after a season-long hiatus due to a double-wrist injury. Mullins would quickly take charge of the race and pull a twenty second lead over the rest of the pack within the first three minutes of the race.
While Mullins was facing a clear track, the rest of the XC1 Pro class was battling it out and quickly advancing on him. By the second lap, Russell had worked his way from the back of the pack to second place where he caught up with Mullins at the three mile marker. As the two were racing wheel-to-wheel, Russell was able to make the move for the lead in an open field section.

With a quick check back Russell turned his focus on extending his lead by valuable seconds. Mullins would eventually fade back on the third lap allowing for JCR Honda/Lucas Oil/Maxxis/FLY Racing's Chris Bach and Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing/Bel-Ray's Josh Strang to slide by.
With the added momentum, Bach quickly caught back up to Russell and took over the lead. It was Bach, Russell and Strang fighting for the lead on the third lap. After spending a lap following Bach, Russell put his head down and took back over the lead ultimately crossing the finish line a whole minute before second place.

After hitting a hole at high speed, Mullins was out of the race where he suffered from too much pain in his wrists. With a last lap pass, Strang was able to salvage extra points with a second place finish. Strang still continues to hold onto the points lead, with Russell sitting in second just nine points behind. Bach made his first podium appearance of the season where he rounded out the overall podium in third.
Coastal Racing/Rockstar/Husqvarna's Ryan Sipes had a season-best finish and just missed the podium with fourth overall. N-Fab/AmPro Yamaha-backed Daniel Milner followed behind Sipes in the XC1 Pro division, but crossed the line seventh overall. Westfield Powersports KTM Presented by Moose Racing's Jordan Ashburn recovered from a dead last start finishing in ninth, N-Fab/AmPro Yamaha's Grant Baylor in tenth followed by KTM/SRT's Cory Buttrick with eleventh overall.
After a hard fought race, JCR Honda/Lucas Oil/Maxxis/FLY Racing's Trevor Bollinger came out with the XC2 Pro Lites win. The Morganton native took a hard hit during the race, but was able to recover and move back into the first place position. Following behind him was Coastal Racing/Husqvarna-backed Layne Michael in second. Coastal Racing/Husqvarna/MSR's Craig Delong jumped out to the early lead claiming the $100 Hot Cams Holeshot Award, but ultimately finished third. Connecticut's Benjamin Kelly and North Carolina native Trevor Barrett round out the top five.

Pennsylvania's Alex Teagarden took home the overall amateur honors finishing twentieth overall and taking home the class win in the 250 A division.
FLY Racing/Maxxis/Seat Concepts/Yamaha's Becca Sheets took home gold in the WXC division in addition to the overall win. Sheets still sits second in points, but made a dent in closing the gap to just one point on FMF/KTM Factory Racing's Kacy Martinez who finished right behind her in second. Bonzi/RideMPS.com/Yahama's Brooke Cosner rounded out the podium in third.

The first podium of the day consisted the of the overall youth racers. South Carolina Brody Johnson came out with the top position claiming his first ever youth overall win. Hunter Riemer and Benjamin Wright followed behind in second and third.

Driver led police on a 120mph chase
A YOUNG driver who led police on a 120mph car chase through driving rain has been banned for 16 months and fined £1000.
Alistair Watson
Traffic officers were eventually forced to stop following Jamie Scott, 21, because his driving was too dangerous, Livingston Sheriff Court heard.
The court was told the officers first saw Scott doing more than three times the limit in a 30mph built-up area in the early hours of the morning.
When the pursuit moved into a 50mph zone, the astonished officers saw Scott put the foot down and travel at more than 120mph.
Fiscal depute Paul Beaton said traffic officers had decided to pull over Scott's car for speeding. But when they put on their blue lights and flashed him to stop, he accelerated away from them.
Mr Beaton said the officers were concerned about safety because it was raining heavily and the road surface was wet.
Despite the poor driving conditions, the traffic car had to travel at up to 91mph through 30mph residential areas in Mid Calder just to maintain distance with the other car.
As the pursuit continued into countryside along the A71 towards West Calder, Scott drove even faster, ignored keep left signs, crossed hazard lines and drove on the wrong side of the road.
Mr Beaton said: "At this stage, his car was travelling at 120mph within a 50mph speed limit. Given the weather conditions, police decided to abandon pursuit of the car at that time."
Last week at the court Scott, whose address was given as Raw Holdings, East Calder, pled guilty to driving dangerously and at grossly excessive speeds on various roads in West Lothian on November 26 last year.
His solicitor, David Storrie, said Scott had gone for a drive as a way of dealing with an argument with his partner.
Mr Storrie said: "He left the house and got in his car and went for a drive.
"He takes full responsibility and, given the background, there was no planning, it was purely impulsive.
"He has used the time since then to reflect on his actions and the impact it could have had on other road users.
"Not withstanding the serious and irresponsible nature of the charge he has taken steps which show great maturity and responsibility."
The solicitor said Scott had previously been disqualified under the totting up procedure for six months for twice using a mobile phone while driving, parking on zig-zag lines and pulling out in front of another vehicle.
Mr Storrie added: "This is the first time he's driven in such a manner. I accept, as does my client, this is a very significant dangerous driving offence."
Passing sentence Sheriff Donald Muirhead told Scott: "You seem to have a problem with motor cars and a problem sticking to the regulations.
"You've already got yourself a six-month disqualification and you've behaved in this extraordinary manner driving at these enormous speeds through a town while being chased by the police.
"All of that suggests to me that a substantial disqualification is required in the public interest and you will also have to sit the extended test requirement for people who are disqualified for dangerous driving.
"I am also going to impose a fine and, hopefully, that coupled with the disqualification, will be sufficient to make you realise that you have to behave yourself when driving a car when you get back in the driving seat in the future."

The national Student Osteopathic Medical Association will adapt the BCOM resolution as its official stance on the subject.
LAS CRUCES - A group of students from Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine's Student Osteopathic Medical Association (SOMA) chapter wrote a resolution advocating for increased nutritional education in the medical school curriculum, which was voted on and passed by the National SOMA organization.
"This means that the national organization now holds this resolution, written by our students, to be their official stance on the subject," explained BCOM student and SOMA National Liaison Officer Shaun Antonio.
This was the third attempt by a SOMA student group to get a national nutrition curriculum increase. Students from other osteopathic schools have submitted similar resolutions that did not end up passing.
The BCOM team of six medical students completed a training on how to write resolutions and then researched the subject for several weeks.


Effexor XR covers to the class of remedies with anti depressed effects. The main substance exerts influence upon the unbalanced chemicals of person's brain which are called the depressions or perturbed conditions. The preparation is employed for the slumps and panic derangement's treatment. It is also applied under the generalizing anxious damages and social disturbed disorders (social phobia).
Elavil is one of the main representatives of tricyclic antidepressants. The medication is generally used under the endogenous depressions. The drug is especially efficient under the anxious-depressed conditions because this remedy diminishes the alarm, agitation and actually the depressing manifestations.
Eldepryl is a selective inhibitor of MAO-B. The medication is mostly taken under the shaking palsy and Parkinson's disease (or symptomatic parkinsonism) in quality of monotherapy in early stage of this sickness or in combination with levodopa's medical agents.
Epivir is an anti viral medical drug which is very effective and generally employed for the medical cure of different HIV-contagions in composition of combined antiretroviral therapy of children and adults.

With this end of summer issue, I am very happy to welcome Judah Phillips (bio here) as our guest writer. I have known Judah for many years, since I think it is fair to say that we both belong to the first generation of digital analysts, back in the late 90's and early 2000's when we were all trying to lay down the foundation of our field. Judah is a very bright man, not afraid of digging in the very often arcane details of Digital Analytics. I must confess however that I was absolutely intrigued and thrilled when I learn that 1) he would publish a book, and that 2) that book would be about implementing the Digital Analytics function in an organization, and not about the how to use a popular platform. To me, the timing of this book could not be better; I have spent the last several months thinking about how my firm could better help businesses implement the whole function, as my recent series on Governance testifies. So, this is why I asked Judah to introduce his opus to our readers. Needless to say, this is one very important book you will have to read this year.
As for me, I offer some thoughts about optimization, one big obsession of analysts, with its rewards and, yes, pitfalls.

Note that this may be cumbersome because you need to write \& between every item of the sentence that you might want arrows at, but it should be useful if you only want arrows for your specific case.

It's a new year, summer is here and you've come to work feeling refreshed but lacking a bit of motivation. Well, maybe your brand needs a refresh? New year, new brand, I say.
If you are thinking about a fresh start for your brand, then you are in luck. I've got the 5 top tips for making sure your brand refresh gets off to a successful start in 2019.
1. Have a think about what your brand is all about. What does your brand stand for and what makes you different? Sometimes we need help from the outside to see what actually makes our brand tick, so consider talking to your suppliers, regular customers or key employees to find out what they think. If you need help, engage a branding designer to work through your brand strategy with you.
2. Review your competitors. What do they do well and how can you be different? What is their visual style as well as their written messaging - how do they communicate to their audience?
3. Research some brands you like. Whether as a web search or via Pinterest, compile a few examples of branding you really like. This doesn't have to be in your industry, you can review any type of industry and save some visual examples for branding that resonates with you. Discuss these with your branding designer as to why you like them and how these might relate to your brand.
4. Write a clear creative brief. Compile all your findings and research and put it into a creative brief for your branding designer. Be specific about your objectives for your brand and what you want to achieve. Work out what collateral you need to refresh and write this in the brief. You might want new business cards, promo postcards, social media assets and a web refresh, but prioritise what your key items are and how you are going to update them.
5. Work with a trusted brand expert. Your branding designer will be able to help you with all these steps and get you going in the right direction. By engaging a brand designer to create a brand strategy and then move onto the brand identity design, you'll be able to get excited about the year ahead and a new vision for your brand.
Collectus can help you with these steps and work with you to develop a branding plan through our new 1-on-1 brand sessions, so email Sarah here to find out more. We'd love to work with you.

Slip and fall injuries can be serious. A serious tumble can result in broken bones, head trauma, injuries to the neck and spine, or even chronic or psychological pain. If you slip and fall and sustain an injury on someone else's property, you may be entitled to compensation.
But how do you know if you are entitled to personal injury compensation? Who do you bring your claim against? Our slip and fall injury lawyers prepared this article to give you some guidance on the basics of slip and fall claims in BC. If you have been injured in a slip and fall, contact our personal injury lawyers today toll-free at 1-855-852-5100 for more information about how to bring your claim and to arrange for your free initial consultation.
Homes and businesses being renovated (e.g., where construction-related hazards are not properly marked or controlled).
If I'm hurt then who do I bring a slip and fall claim against?
In BC, the Occupiers Liability Act requires an "occupier" to take reasonable care in the circumstances to ensure that a person is reasonably safe on the premises. An "occupier" is one who occupies, but may not necessarily own, a property, and includes one who is in possession of a property and one who is responsible for the care of the property (e.g. a caretaker or maintenance company). There can be more than one occupier of a property. So, your slip and fail claim could be against a private citizen, a business, and/or the government (e.g., if you slip and fall on the sidewalk in Vancouver). For that reason, before you can bring a personal injury claim for a slip and fall, it is essential to establish who the occupier of the property is. Note as well that in the latter example mentioned (a slip and fall on public property), there are shorter notice periods for claims against a local government. Contact one of our slip and fall injury lawyers as soon as possible to ensure that you do not lose the right to bring a personal injury claim.
Do you need to contact a slip and fall injury lawyer? What will they do?
That you were injured as a result of the occupier's failure to meet the duty of care.
It must be noted that everyone has a duty of care for their own safety, even if premises are unsafe. The occupier may argue that you are at fault for your injuries. If it is found that you should have exercised more caution in the circumstances, fault may be divided between you and the occupier who should have made the premises reasonably safe – and that would result in a reduction of the compensation you receive for your injuries. An experienced slip and fall injury lawyer can assist you with building the required elements of your claim and can help defend against allegations that you are to blame for your own injuries.
What type of compensation am I entitled to?
If you have grounds for a claim for personal injury caused by a slip and fall, you may be entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering, income loss, out of pocket expenses, future care costs and losses related to your diminished capacity to earn income in the future. Learn more about your rights by contacting a slip and fall injury lawyer in Vancouver and the Fraser Valley from Bronson Jones & Company LLP.

Temporary fix for Wemyss Bay pier power problem
Rothesay ferry passengers have been boarding and disembarking at Wemyss Bay via the car decks of MVs Bute and Argyle due to a power supply problem.
A power failure which has affected Bute travellers at Wemyss Bay ferry terminal should be rectified - at least temporarily - on Thursday.
The passenger gangway at the pier has been out of action since Sunday, forcing foot passengers travelling to and from Rothesay to board and disembark MVs Bute and Argyle via the ships' car decks.
Bute Community Council member Frank Baxter, who deals with transport matters for the organisation, told its July meeting on Wednesday night that a generator would be arriving on site on Thursday morning and should be operational by lunchtime, supplying power to the gangway, ticket office and linkspan.
Mr Baxter said the root cause of the problem had been identified but that it could take until the end of next week to fix it for good.


In our almost decade of experience working in the wedding industry, we have never before been a part of anything quite like Becca & Luke's wedding. Simply put, we made history this day!
Luke contacted us a couple weeks before his wedding date to tell us about his BIG plans: To propose to his girlfriend Becca on May 3, and to have a surprise wedding immediately after on the same day! Luke had everything planned out in critical detail. There were huge plans in motion that Luke was handling, like flying Becca's family and closest friends in from overseas to witness everything. And then there were also the smaller (yet still important) details and logistics to take care of, like setting up hair and makeup appointments and making sure the guests were in the right place at the right time on the day of the wedding. Luke even worked with Becca's mom in advance to make sure Becca had a Wedding dress lineup to choose from. After seeing how well-thought out everything was, and how sincere Luke's intentions were, we were totally locked in and ecstatic to be a part of it.
On the morning of the proposal we showed up bright and early to Lanikai Beach, which was beautiful and couldn't have been more perfect. We posed as beach-goers, hiding our cameras from plain view and trying to be as inconspicuous as possible. Luke and Becca showed up with their snorkeling gear, and funny enough, Becca unknowingly sabotaged our plans by being too nice and making Luke setup camp away from our pre-planned spot, as to not block our view of the water. Needless to say, everything went awesome anyway: Luke dropped the ring in the sand while they were out snorkeling (which was attached securely to a fishing line), and Becca found it. She said YES of course, and the rest of the plans for the day unfolded on schedule with absolute ease. Luke's intuition that Becca would go all-in on a whim without hesitation was spot on.
For a day where almost anything could have potentially gone awry, we were so happy when the stars aligned and everything fell into place. That said, we also do feel that even if something did deviate from the plan, everything would have been okay in the end-- Becca and Luke are just that kind of couple. They aren't JUST good together, they are pure and genuine, and completely in love with each other and the moment. It was incredible to see such a whirlwind of emotions in the span of one day. We are so impressed that Luke pulled it off, and feel super lucky to have been a part of this once in a lifetime experience.

John Ourand Makes His 2022 Sports Media Predictions
"Time will tell, but Ourand's not making claims that seem completely out of the realm of possibility for the next year in sports media."
It's one of the most fun articles to read at the end of the year, and now it's back! Sports Business Journal reporter John Ourand has put on his prognosticator hat and is making predictions for sports media in 2022.
Looking back at Ourand's predictions for 2021, he was right on the money with some, while others didn't come to fruition.
He predicted NBC would keep the rights to the Premier League and shut down NBCSN. Both of those things happened this year. NBC Sports Network will close up shop on Dec. 31, while NBC announced last month it had retained the rights to the world's most popular soccer league through 2027-28 in a deal worth more than $2 billion.
John Ourand claimed WarnerMedia would be unsuccessful in securing the rights to the NHL, with Fox Sports becoming a new partner for hockey. WarnerMedia did end up becoming part of the new broadcast deal alongside ESPN.
Looking ahead to his 2022 predictions, here's what stands out:
He thinks CBS and the SEC will part ways a year before their contract is up in 2023. That doesn't seem like too big of a surprise after the drama surrounding speculation that ESPN helped Texas and Oklahoma move to the SEC ahead of the network's new partnership with the conference.
Additionally, if CBS ends up ditching the SEC, the Big Ten will come calling, entertaining offers from NBC and WarnerMedia in the process.
John Ourand is also predicting Thanksgiving 2022 will be a monumental ratings day for Fox. There was already a bit of foreshadowing there with an MLS Cup Playoff game this year drawing strong numbers following the Bears/Lions game. The 2022 World Cup will be underway in Qatar by Thanksgiving, and with the time difference, banking on the United States being part of the expanded field of teams coupled with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman calling the Dallas Cowboys game later that afternoon, Ourand believes Turkey Day 2022 will see a ginormous audience tuning in from sun-up to sunset.

"They'll tell me today or tomorrow, I guess. Maybe we'll wing it, I don't know. You know I have no problem winging it."
The much anticipated reunion between Mike Francesa and his former co-host Chris "Mad Dog" Russo is set to take place Wednesday on First Take, and the former WFAN host admitted he doesn't know what topics will be bandied about.
"I am going to do an ESPN visit with Dog and Stephen A. tomorrow. Been planned for awhile. Really, we've been talking about this last year," Francesa said on The Mike Francesa Podcast. "I don't know what we're gonna chat about yet. I have no idea. They'll tell me today or tomorrow, I guess. Maybe we'll wing it, I don't know. You know I have no problem winging it."
The topic came up after an email into the podcast asked Francesa if he stayed in contact with many of his former WFAN colleagues. He admitted he doesn't chat with as many as he would like to as often as he would like, but there are still several he'll converse with when topics arise.
"(John) Minko, obviously. I hear from certain guys at certain times, but everybody's busy. You don't keep in touch as much as you should, let's put it that way…I hear from certain guys from time to time. (Marc) Malusis, (Sal) Licata, guys like that from time to time. Sid's (Rosenberg) always texting me something or other. I do hear from some of them, and you try to keep in touch."
Francesa's reunion with Mad Dog will air on First Take on ESPN from 10:00 AM-12:00 PM Wednesday. Russo is a weekly contributor to the show on Wednesdays, with Stephen A. Smith putting a plan in motion to set February 1st as the reunion date during his recent book tour.
At the time of the revelation, Russo marveled at the idea of Francesa appearing on the show with him, pointing out "No other people. The three of us for two hours. Think about that. You talk about me being a fraud, Mike hated ESPN for 100 years!"
"PlayUSA projects that legal sportsbooks will take in a record $1.1 billion in bets on Super Bowl LVII."
Even before sports betting was legal across the country, the Super Bowl would inspire even the most casual bettors to lay a little money down. This year, the game could help sportsbooks take in more money than ever before.
PlayUSA projects that legal sportsbooks will take in a record $1.1 billion in bets on Super Bowl LVII. That would make it the most bet on Super Bowl. It would also be the biggest handle any US sporting event has ever taken in.
The current record is held by last year's Super Bowl. Bettors put just over $937 million down on the Rams and Bengals at legal books. The American Gaming Association projects that the total bet on the game is somewhere around $7.6 billion.
Nevada is still the king when it comes to legal sports gambling. That state is expected to take in the largest bets on the Eagles and Chiefs. Gamblers are expected to lay down $176.2 million in that state alone.
It is possible that projection is challenged. Both Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the epicenter of Eagles fandom, have legalized sports gambling. Could that affect where the most money is laid down?
Last year, more than 9 million bettors participated in the Super Bowl at legal books. In total, it is estimated that 31 million people made a bet online.
Super Bowl LVII will take place in Arizona on February 12. The Philadelphia Eagles are currently a two-point favorite.
"Having that consistency always being there for people I think makes you part of their routine and makes it anything than I could ever have imagined."
With most people having a podcast in this day and age, it is very difficult to stand out when there are so many options for listeners to choose from. One of the keys to finding success is being reliable and having your audience know that you will be around consistently. Dan "Big Cat" Katz, one of the hosts of Pardon My Take, views consistency as a major key to the success of the Barstool Sports show.
Katz was a guest on The Old Man and the Three podcast with J.J. Redick and Tommy Alter and he mentioned that Pardon My Take never takes a break and always wants content out there for their listeners.
"Just being consistent with what you put out there is something that seems very easy but gets lost by a lot of people. Every single day you are going to wake up, you are going to see me produce this, this, and this. Started as blogging, moved to podcasting. PFT and I — outside of the holidays — we don't miss shows. There's never a show where 'Hey, we aren't feeling it'. No, no, we do the shows. Even when we go on vacation, what can we bank that we can put out while we are on vacation?
While Katz understands that not every episode or every interview is going to be the greatest, he told the guys that the key is putting everything you got into every episode.
"There's shows that aren't the best, there are interviews that aren't the best. It all ebbs and flows. You can't be the funniest, most insightful podcast every single time. But, just being consistent and saying here's what we got, we are going to put our effort into it, we are going to enjoy what we do and it has helped us get where we are today.
"You have to be a part of people's lives. Knowing that people view you as a friend even though you don't know them. I take that very seriously and never try to take advantage of the fact that people are investing their time in listening to me talk. Making sure you are putting in the effort and always showing up for them."

At Absolute Martial Arts our goal is to train individuals in self defense and self preservation through self awareness and a working knowledge of all ranges of fighting. We pray that the skills taught will never have to be used, though if the need arises that is not the time to try and figure something out. We don't believe that a style or name of a martial art or a kata will save you when you encounter danger. It is the individual person and in what that individual has been trained in and can successfully apply that will protect them. It also has to do with what an individual has predetermined as an acceptable moral decision to defend themselves. If the moment ever comes and you are face to face with more than one attacker or an armed attacker, that time is not the time to have a moral debate with yourself as to whether it is justifiable for you to run the risk of taking someone's eye sight. It is not the time to determine whether or not you would be comfortable striking someone in the throat and that they may not survive that attack. We believe that the only way to successfully counter a trained boxer is to study boxing and likewise to effectively counter the skills of a grappler are to study grappling. It isn't that you must know how to fight in a certain style and be better in that style than your attacker. You simply must have a working knowledge of how the other person is moving and study from what ranges and from what angles certain people are trained in to learn how to successfully deal with them. It is often a wrestler's move that is the best way to stop a certain movement from Jiu-Jitsu or vice versa. At certain ranges it is more effective to apply a Kali angle to a boxer's strike enabling you to gain a better position. Personalized Self Defense is just that, an individual studying all ranges of motion incorporating all the strengths of that individual and minimizing their deficiencies through training obtaining a working knowledge of how to defend themselves. It is important to understand that not all martial arts are the same. Not only in their approach to what is studied but in their application of the material as well. Certain types of martial arts are excellent for physical training, some are developed and taught in way that is most beneficial for people, especially children, that are in need of discipline, and some very practical in offense while others are more suited for defense. Some arts, styles, or mixtures of martial arts are used for training in competition and others for a practical real world setting. These may be the same exact types or styles of fighting but the emphasis is as different as training for a set of rules in a controlled environment or for training for something that might happen in a parking lot with no mats, pads or referee.

Oct. 25, 2018 / PRZen / LOS ANGELES & ONTARIO, Calif. -- Today, it was announced approximately 100 donors and supporters of the D'Andre D. Lampkin Foundation gathered for the Lampkin Foundation's annual Social Good Benefit Gala. The red carpet event took place at the 100 year old historic Beverly Hotel (now Beverly Banquets) located in Ontario, California. One hundred percent of the proceeds benefited the programs and initiatives designed to support education, economic development, climate change research, health and wellness, and healthy alternatives for underserved communities.
The benefit gala featured a world class red carpet networking reception, live performances by the Inland Conservatory for the Performing Arts, city and state officials, and a sit down dinner graciously sponsored by Beverly Banquets.
European Royal, Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe hosted the benefit gala. Board Member Marcellus McMillian opened the evening with an invocation and thanked the many supporters and sponsors of the Gala. Personal perspectives on the Foundation were then offered by two recipients of the Lampkin Foundation Social Good Scholarship: Allison Green and Sarina McCabe who is currently attending Emory University. Attendees were also addressed via video message by Dr. Alison Thompson, a D'Andre D. Lampkin Foundation supporter, donor partner, and full time global humanitarian volunteer who had partnered with the Foundation during its 2017 Power to Puerto Rico campaign.
Thompson recounted how she first met D'Andre Lampkin in August 2017 following Hurricane Maria making landfall in Puerto Rico. The Lampkin Foundation coordinated the delivery of donations, such as clothing, and purchased 1500 units of solar power to be used in Puerto Rico to light roads and homes in the village areas. Dr. Thompson most fondly told the audience that the Lampkin Foundation has and continues to be about focusing on people, believing in humans, and showing love and compassion to everyone.
The D'Andre D. Lampkin Foundation's annual Social Good Benefit Gala raised more than $19,800 for its causes, publications and various programs. This includes $9,500 in sponsorship provided by Beverly Banquets, The O'Steen Group, Galleano Winery, and Care Staffing Professionals.
"When people volunteer, it's a valuable commodity in our city. Often times, volunteer organizations have a ton of request. When the Lampkin Foundation goes out to volunteer in the community, they go out and do a great job," said Paul Leon, Mayor, City of Ontario. "Then, they often report to the city positive statements about the things that have been happening without asking the city council for anything. And that motivates us to partner with him. D'Andre Lampkin is like me, and I am like him. He does it the way that I think you need to do it. His organization promotes volunteerism because it's the right thing to do - not because you are earning anything or gaining anything. And that's how the D'Andre D. Lampkin Foundation does it. The city appreciates him very much. The Lampkin Foundation does it right."
"This was our first benefit. What I was most moved by was the impact statements - the testimonials and stories our supporters, donors, award recipients, and scholars told," added D'Andre Lampkin, Board Chair, Lampkin Foundation. "We've done quite a bit of work this year to promote the building or stronger, more resilient communities. I've been working in public service for over 13 years. I started the foundation because what I've found throughout my time in public service is that in some communities we rely so heavily on government resources that we never really take the time to start thinking about what we ourselves can do to resolve some of the biggest challenges facing our communities. The power really comes from the people who live in each community and I wanted to start an organization that would really get people thinking about ways they can resolve some of those problems as a community. We do that through our programs and initiatives."
