'Murray traces the work of seven pastors over time, and he shows the consistencies in their ministries, saying "what is it about these men that distinguished them as exceptional leaders, pastors, expositors of God's word?" And he gives insights into that, and shows that it's the same over the centuries; it hasn't changed. Very encouraging read, very pleasant read, and I would recommend it.' — JEFF KINGSWOOD
Spiritual leaders lead people to heaven. Here in Seven Leaders are accounts of seven such men, together with the distinctive features of their lives—in John Elias, the necessity of the power of the Holy Spirit; in Andrew Bonar, the reality of communion with Christ; in Archie Brown, the irresistibility of love; in Kenneth MacRae, the need for faithfulness to death; in Martyn Lloyd-Jones, theology and doctrine; in W. J. Grier, passing on the 'sacred deposit'; and in John MacArthur, the governing authority of the word of God. An Old Testament miracle once took place at a burial. We are told that when the deceased was 'let down and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet' (2 Kings 13:21). Through books, the past can be touched, and the consequence may be as much of God as when Martin Luther handled the old writings of Jan Huss. Records of faithful servants of Christ still speak and can bring new life today.

dgumprecht – 25 March 2018
Superb. The chapters on Elias, Bonar, and Grier were especially impactful and moving. A stirring read for any Christian—especially any pastor.
This is also an excellent example of how the production of a book should match its content. Beautiful cloth bound covers, beautiful end papers, and a beautiful font! Makes the reading that much more enjoyable.
Bill Pence – 6 September 2018
The author is my favorite biographer, and I've read several of his books. He writes that the book originated in an invitation to speak on the subject of preachers and pastors in 2014. He has previously written biographies of three of the seven men here profiled – Archibald Brown, Martyn Lloyd-Jones and John MacArthur. I was familiar with Lloyd-Jones and MacArthur, but not the others included in this volume. The author includes biographical sketches of each man, and then covers important aspects of their ministries, often quoting from their writings.
He writes that we are to learn from leaders yet be imitators of none. While it is his hope that the book will assist younger men called to the ministry of the gospel, it is not meant for them alone.
I highlighted a number of passages as I read through this book. Below are just a few for each man profiled. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it, especially for pastors.
John Elias and Revival
•	John Elias was a watchman, as well as an evangelist, and warned of dangers of which the succeeding generation failed to regard.
•	He knew that if standards of membership are allowed to be relaxed, and worldliness tolerated, then it is only a matter of time before members want a type of elder and preacher suited to their condition.
•	Elias believed in divine sovereignty. If no revivals were taking place it was not because the gospel was not being made 'wider' and more appealing.
•	It was not only Calvinism but the Bible itself which was to be forgotten. In the 1880s Congregationalists in England were at the forefront of what Spurgeon designated the 'down-grade controversy'. Deploring the change which was taking place, he commented, 'We used to debate particular redemption, now the question is whether there is any redemption at all.'
•	The attempt to gain more influence and unity through a 'modified' gospel was a tragic failure in England and Wales. The effects of error may be slow but they are sure.
Andrew A. Bonar: Fellowship with Christ
•	Bonar and M'Cheyne were at the centre of a group of a dozen or more likeminded young ministers which arose in the Church of Scotland in the 1830s. Marked by their close friendship with each other, by their preaching of Christ, and their love for their people, they were prominent instruments in a remarkable era of evangelism and revival.
•	To read Bonar is to be convinced that there are great biblical lessons which we are not taking seriously enough.
•	In 1878 a larger building had to be built near West End Park, and by the 1890s over a thousand made up the congregation. By that date Bonar had become something of a legend in the city.
•	The life of Andrew Bonar shows us how closely the usefulness of servants of Christ is related to the holiness of their lives.
•	What a preacher is as a Christian is of greater consequence than his natural gifts.
•	Bonar was certain that the more he was filled with the Holy Spirit the more fully would he preach Christ.
The Rediscovery of Archie Brown
•	It is therefore surprising to us that his ministry would largely pass from the memory of later generations until it became almost unknown.
•	Times of revival always show the same characteristics, and foremost among them, is prayerfulness.
•	He shared with Spurgeon in the Downgrade Controversy of the late 1880s, and together they were profoundly moved as so many in the churches ceased to regard all Scripture as God-given revelation.
•	There was gospel in this sermon, too, but its burden was for the awakening of the careless. Such preaching is no longer heard from many pulpits.
•	The key to Brown as a Christian and a preacher was the teaching of the Holy Spirit on the person and glory of Christ.
Kenneth A. MacRae: Preacher and Pastor
•	For usefulness, it is the life of the man himself that matters most, and no one has ever become a true guide to others without a personal preparation at the hands of God.
•	In addition to his own congregation, he had the responsibility for three other churches at a distance from his own, where he preached regularly.
•	He believed that all that is of first importance for the life and prosperity of the church is already laid down in the word of God. This is a liberating principle.
•	Kenneth MacRae preached to within seven months of his death on May 6, 1964. Two days later, Stornoway saw the sight of a Christian funeral such as is not often seen in this world, and which these pages cannot convey. The life of the town stopped still that Friday afternoon.
Understanding Martyn Lloyd-Jones
•	The big thing for him was theology, what he believed about God.
•	Man's fallen condition is the biblical starting point for the presentation of gospel. While there is no one pattern of conversion, there is a common order or sequence in the way sinners are brought to Christ.
•	To miss out the preaching of repentance because people have no sense of sin, and to speak to them only of 'accepting Christ', is to depart from the order of the New Testament.
•	The work of the Spirit is not uniform in all periods, and Lloyd-Jones believed there is only one explanation for times of extraordinary blessing, namely, the sovereignty of God in his administration of grace.
•	Sermons born out of a concern for unbelievers, and to lead them to Christ, formed half, if not more, of his entire ministry.
W. J. Grier: Against Frittering Life Away
•	The result was that on October 15, 1927 the small company gathered at the café in Fountain Street decided to proceed with the formation of a new church organisation. By the end of the following month, the name was settled as the 'Irish Evangelical Church'.
•	With James Hunter now in his mid-sixties much of the burden of the new work fell upon Grier. As well as the management of the bookshop, he now had the care of two congregations.
•	Another consequence of these years was the maturing of his conviction that the doctrines of the reformed faith need to be spelt out definitely and in distinction from the 'fundamentalist' type of evangelicalism then prevalent in Ulster.
•	These letters which he wrote to me, beginning before the first Banner publications of 1958, ran to hundreds, and no one played a fuller or more important part in decisions on books thereafter published than he did. A number of the Trust's reprints had their origin in his suggestion.
•	While Jim Grier reached the age of seventy in November 1972, he knew no retirement age for ministers of the gospel. He admired the words of Charles Simeon, 'I am so near the goal that I cannot help running with all my might.'
•	The life of Jim Grier exemplifies what can be seen by those who rely on God's word and promises when success all seems to point to the need for compromise.
John MacArthur: Preaching and Scripture
•	MacArthur was called to Grace Community Church as a twenty-nine-year-old Californian, and in that same charge he remains to this day.
•	Obedience, not success, is the great thing. What counts supremely is the truth that is preached and in due course, one way or another, men will reap if they do not faint.
•	No subject means more to him than the sufficiency of the word of God.
•	On occasion, MacArthur has been prominent in controversies which have divided evangelicals.
•	He could never have done what he was given to do had he not also been given the support of a wide circle of fellow Christians.

Podcast: Hoeven Accuses Heitkamp of "Scare Tactics" on Graham-Cassidy Healthcare Bill
September 21, 2017 | by Rob Port
Senator John Hoeven joined me on my radio show today to talk about healthcare reform.
The Senator has indicated support for the latest version of Republican-flavored reform, the so-called Graham-Cassidy bill. The gist of the bill is that it replaces Obamacare's stringent, top-down, federal-centric regulations with block grants and flexibility for state policymakers to tackle health care.
Hoeven's North Dakota colleague, junior Senator Heidi Heitkamp, has ripped the bill.
[mks_pullquote align="right" width="300″ size="24″ bg_color="#ffffff" txt_color="#000000″]"It doesn't take away health care," he told me. "I think we'll have more resources and more funding over the ten year timeline."[/mks_pullquote]
She said the "new Republican health care bill would hurt families and rural communities across North Dakota by ripping away health care for many," adding that it cut $211 million from health care in North Dakota by 2026.
Hoeven called those claims "scare tactics."
"It doesn't take away health care," he told me. "I think we'll have more resources and more funding over the ten year timeline."
"As for coverage ripped away," he continued, "that's just not the case. Under this bill we eliminate the mandates but the exchanges stay in place." He said that will allow time for "the legislatures to act" in the various states.
"How can coverage be ripped away from anyone when the programs stay in place?" he added.
Hoeven said that pre-existing conditions would continue to be covered under the Graham-Cassidy bill, and that it would reduce federal spending by $134 billion over 10 years.

Joannes Manlius, auch Johann Manlius, Johann Mannel, slowenisch Mandelz,  (geb. vor 1562 – 1604 oder 1605 in Deutschkreutz) war ein Wanderbuchdrucker der frühen Neuzeit. Er druckte sowohl religiöse als auch weltliche Schriften und war vor allem in Slowenien sowie nach seiner Vertreibung in Westungarn, vor allem dem heutigen Burgenland tätig. Er gilt als erster und bedeutendster Buchdrucker des Burgenlandes.

Leben
Seine Herkunft ist bis heute unklar. Es wird angenommen, dass er in einem Küstenort oder der Krain geboren wurde. Gelegentlich heißt es, er käme aus Württemberg.

Als sicher gilt, dass er mit Primus Truber in Kontakt stand. Auch soll er das Druckerhandwerk in der slowenischen Druckerei des Hans Ungnad in Urach und Tübingen erlernt haben.
Er gründete 1562 eine Buchhandlung in Laibach. Im selben Jahr war er wahrscheinlich aus Württemberg gekommen. Die Druckwerke mussten wegen der strengen Zensur aus Deutschland eingeschmuggelt werden.

Der damalige Laibacher Prädikant und Bibelübersetzer Georg Dalmatin regte ihn zur Gründung einer eigenen Druckerei an. Nachdem dies zuerst verboten wurde, konnte nach Interventionen einflussreicher Gönner 1575 sein erster eigener Druck, der von Dalmatin ins Slowenische übersetzte Jesus Sirach, erscheinen. 1578 druckte er seine erste Zeitung mit einem Bericht der Eroberung Möttlings durch die Türken. Nachdem Dalmatin 1579 die Bibel ins Slowenische übersetzt hatte, verhandelten die Stände im Folgejahr mit Manlius über die Drucklegung und dieser legte einen Probedruck vor. Wegen des Verbots des Vizedoms, ohne sein Wissen zu drucken und weil es sich um ein slowenischsprachiges, protestantisches Werk handelte, wurde er deshalb der Erblande verwiesen.
Vom Krainer Landtag erhielt er ein Empfehlungsschreiben an den Herzog von Württemberg, woraus man schließt, dass er ursprünglich dorthin gehen wollte. Warum es ihn ins damalige Westungarn verschlug ist nicht genau bekannt. Man vermutet er wurde vom Grazer Superintendenten Jeremias Homberger dorthin verwiesen, welcher mit dem Hofprediger der Batthyany, Stephan Beythe, in Verbindung stand. Für diese Version spricht, dass er in Güssing zuallererst Hombergers Viola Martia verlegte.
In der folgenden Zeit wechselte er öfter den Ort. So war er seinen Angaben nach 1586/87 in Warasdin tätig und druckte kroatischsprachige Werke. Weitere Orte seiner Tätigkeit waren neben Güssing Deutsch Schützen, Deutschkreutz, Eberau und Sárvár.

Seine Todesdatum ist unbekannt. Er starb vermutlich 1604 oder 1605 in Deutschkreutz.

Werk
Manlius verlegte sowohl geistige als auch weltliche Schriften. In den geistigen steht vor allem die Reformation im Vordergrund. Die weltlichen erstrecken von Unterhaltungsliteratur, die weltlichen sind nach damaliger Definition Zeitungen sowie auch die erste Pflanzenkunde, die auf heute österreichischem Territorium verlegt wurde, Stirpium Nomenclator Pannonicus von Carolus Clusius. Er war auch selbst als Autor tätig, wie etwa in der Genealogie derer vom Rhein.
Seine Werke gelten gemeinhin als Raritäten, von vielen kennt man nur noch den Titel. Man vermutet, es gebe noch eine Anzahl gänzlich unbekannter Werke von ihm. Grund für diese spärliche Überlieferung ist die Verfolgung, da protestantische Schriften in den Erblanden oft einfach verbrannt wurden.
Vermutlich aufgrund dieser Verfolgung gab Manlius in seinen Werken häufig verschiedene Namen für denselben Ort an. Einige Manliusforscher nehmen sogar an, dass es sich bei Warasdin, Deutsch Schützen und Sárvár um rein fingierte Orte handelt um Verfolger zu täuschen.
Als Sprache benutzte er in seiner ungarischen Zeit für religiöse Schriften vor allem Latein. Ansonsten benutzte er vor allem Ungarisch, aber auch Deutsch.

SCT pursues its aims by forming local Speakers' Corner Committees made up of representatives of the public, private and voluntary sectors which 'own' and steer projects designed to stimulate and support public discussion, debate and consultation on the issues which matter most to people.
Where appropriate, the Committees' work may include establishing new Speakers' Corners in public spaces as symbols of citizens' rights, focuses for national or civic identity and platforms for public engagement.
But at the heart of each initiative lies a programme of events designed by the Speakers' Corner Committee to reach every community in its area. Some may take place at the Speakers' Corner; others will be organised in a range of venues, from Council Chambers to community centres, schools and places of work and worship. They could include debates led by interest groups, consultations mounted by public services or politicians or discussions stimulated by academics or others on subjects from the global to the national, regional, local and cultural.
Some may lead to greater public participation in decision-making and service delivery and an enhanced level of accountability and legitimacy in the democratic process; some may inspire practical community action at a local level; some may lead to improved understanding between or within communities. Some may be simply educative or enriching on a personal level.
The central principle in all these events is that they should be accessible to all, strictly non-partisan and non-adversarial, welcome diversity and seek to inform opinion, identify common ground – and, as often as possible, entertain.
SCT's approach is based on the belief that association between citizens and the free, face-to-face exchange of ideas, information and opinions – with each other as well as with the decision-takers among them – is a key to rebuilding trust and participation in Britain's civil society and developing vibrant civil institutions and robust rights in developing democracies.
The rights of citizens to hold and express opinions lie at the heart of Britain's democratic way of life. But almost 150 years after popular campaigning and an Act of Parliament led to the creation of the original Speakers' Corner as a platform for debate and a symbol of those freedoms, the importance we attach to them has diminished and so has their power to inform and enrich our society. SCT believes that the re-engagement of citizens in the exchange and development of ideas and opinions - with each other and with the decision takers among them - is a key to rebuilding trust and participation in our civil society.
Freedom of expression and the right of assembly lie at the heart of all civil liberties. They are the aspiration of those who struggle for freedom and the prize of those who have achieved it. They provide the basis for relations among citizens and between them and their governments and the means by which societies develop and progress. SCT believes that Speakers' Corners could play a significant role in embedding key civil rights in developing democracies and in providing a forum for the public debate which is vital to the health and progress of their societies.
SCT, in partnership with a team led by Professor Stephen Coleman, Professor of Political Communications at the University of Leeds, and the BAFTA-winning digital design company Bold Creative has developed Youth Amplified, a website launched in May 2012 which features a range of educational resources to support citizenship teaching and provide young people with an innovative and engaging introduction to the speaking and listening skills they need to become vocal and active citizens.

Licorice Pizza review – Paul Thomas Anderson's funniest and most relaxed film yet

Anderson's latest is a romance about a teen boy wooing an older woman, starring two extraordinary newcomers and stuffed with fabulously hammy A-list cameos
As a title for this California pastoral from the sunlit west coast 1970s, Licorice Pizza is whimsically inspired. According to writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson, it's actually the name of a now defunct SoCal record store chain. I was hoping he was making that up, like Anthony Burgess's supposed cockney phrase "Queer as a clockwork orange". But no. It really did exist, though the movie itself teeters between reality and nostalgist-hallucination.
This is a love story set in 1973 (Erich Segal's novel is in fact slyly positioned in one shot), and far too interesting and complicated to be called "coming-of-age". A grinningly fast-talking 15-year-old boy meets a bored 25-year-old woman who works as assistant to a photographer taking pictures for the high-school yearbook. She is in equal parts amused, intrigued and depressed when this kid starts hitting on her, and she realises that she is somehow interested in him.
Anderson makes glorious movie stars of his two newcomers. Cooper Hoffman, son of the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, is eerily assured as Gary Valentine, a heavy-set kid with iffy skin whose child-actor career in TV and movies is coming to an end, and is therefore turning his various side-hustles into the main event, running his own cockamamie company selling waterbeds. Alana Haim, of the pop band Haim (for whom Anderson has directed videos), is superb as the permanently exasperated Alana Kane, a young woman with Barbra Streisand's beauty and charisma; appropriate, perhaps, as Streisand's notoriously quick-tempered onetime boyfriend Jon Peters is played by Bradley Cooper in a walk-on role, as one of Gary's dissatisfied waterbed customers.
The love between Gary and Alana, if love it is, does not run smooth. Alana breaks Gary's heart by holding hands with another child actor hardly older than he is; Gary infuriates Alana by putting the moves on a girl his own age. Alana retaliates by flirting with ageing movie star Jack Holden (Sean Penn), presumably based on William Holden (why not just make him William Holden?) and then uptight political candidate Joel Wachs (Benny Safdie). But we all know, even if we can scarcely believe it, where this is heading. And this hypnotically gorgeous, funny, romantic movie freewheels its way around from scene to scene, from character to character, from setpiece to setpiece, with absolute mastery. You float and ripple around it as if on a waterbed. But every casual line, kiss, automobile-ride, set-up and joke is a joy.
Anderson says that Gary's character is partly based on former child actor Gary Goetzman who grew up to be Tom Hanks's producing partner, and partly on a kid he saw in 2001 trying to chat up an older woman in high school. Why did he reposition the story in 1973? Well, he is superb at evoking that era; perhaps an allusion to Harold and Maude is intended, though the nearest thing to cinematic quotation is a scene weirdly close to the political campaign office moments from Taxi Driver. Yet could it be that Anderson has chosen the 1970s for what many suggest was Jonathan Franzen's motivation in choosing that era for his new novel Crossroads? Backdate your story to the disillusioned-yet-still-groovy 70s and it's easier to explore issues of transgressive love and sex in the right mood of tolerant romantic adventure without getting bogged down in 21st-century gender politics?
Maybe. The ironising 70s might also, incidentally, make it easier to get away with the perennial male fantasy of the teen boy entrancing an older woman (yeah right). The setting certainly allows characters to drive very, very fast to places where they drink very, very large amounts of alcohol: in fact, the driving scenes are rather like those in Quentin Tarantino's LA-period film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and whereas Tarantino had crazy Charlie Manson, Anderson has freaky Jon Peters smashing up cars. There's also a cinephile fetish-moment where Gary and Alana wind up in front of a movie theatre marquee advertising Live and Let Die (although Edgar Wright got there first with his vision of the Thunderball premiere in Last Night in Soho). We get jukebox slams of Paul McCartney's Let Me Roll It and David Bowie's Life on Mars, and in this film we do indeed see LAPD lawmen beating up the wrong guy: Gary.
This is lighter and sunnier than previous Anderson pictures; subtract the porn and indeed the sex from Boogie Nights and you have something like it; remove the metaphysical anxiety from Inherent Vice and that comes reasonably close, too. It's such a delectable film: I'll be cutting myself another slice very soon.

We invite submissions to a peer-reviewed themed section of Catalyst on the topic of "Crip Technoscience" in order to bring critical feminist perspectives to the study of disability, science, and technology, as well as meaningfully intervene in political debates related to emerging technologies, treatments, and practices of access, design, health, and enhancement.
Feminist technoscience studies charts the active production of scientific knowledge and technological worlds through the entanglement of material, social, political, economic, and historical forces, investigating everything from reproduction to race to refrigerators. While not always engaging with the concept of "technoscience," scholars of critical, feminist, and crip disability studies often build on the foundational claim of disability studies that natural and built environments are constructed rather than given, offering a critical perspective on the ways science and technology shape the expression, enactment, or elimination of disability, impairment, and illness. Although a growing number of scholars take part in the emergent field of crip and feminist technoscience studies, these engagements are rarely recognized as constituting their own field of study. This special themed section of a forthcoming issue of Catalyst maps some of the central nodes of the field of crip technoscience.
We foreground crip theory as that which marks disability as a desirable and generative social, political, and material phenomenon, countering normative expectations for embodiments, behaviors, and onto-epistemologies. We also mark crip theory as a critical study of norms – including the norms produced by disability studies itself – investigating how such norms get produced, circulate, and are resisted. Through crip theory, we emphasize the mobilization of difference and embodiment, and we seek to engage rather than eschew technoscience, politicizing the relationships, activisms, and products of technoscientific practices. We ask: how can crip technoscience highlight the ways that disability, impairment, chronic conditions, illness, madness, Deafness, neurodiversity (among other crip ways of being) shape our practices, ontologies, and epistemologies? This themed section seeks to feature the ways in which a multiplicity of bodily forms and modes of mobility shape knowing, making, practicing, resisting, and embracing technoscience.
We invite both scholarly articles and shorter, experimental contributions that creatively and critically investigate crip technoscience. Interdisciplinary research and co-authored papers are particularly welcome. See the Catalyst website for suggestions and policies for possible formats.
To be considered for inclusion in this themed section, please send an extended abstract (500-1000 words) plus a short bio (max. 200 words) to Kelly Fritsch (kelly.fritsch@utoronto.ca) by September 15, 2017. Selected scholars will be invited to submit fully developed papers to Catalyst via the Journal's online submissions portal by January 15, 2018. Selected submissions will be published pending peer review.

Chico Mendes in the Standoff Against the False Solutions of Green Capitalism (*)
Xapuri declaration, December 16th, 2018
From here in Xapuri, we remind the world that Chico Mendes did not die. He was assassinated. This was the price he paid for dedicating his life to the cause of agrarian land reform and the protection of forests. The fact is that those in power never accepted that the peoples of the forest have a right to land, bread and dreams. They thought that murdering him would bury his struggle. But for that it was too late. Chico Mendes had become a force that surpasses his physical existence.
Since his assassination, his legacy has grown in importance. Conscious of the importance of this legacy and fearful of its liberating power, those in power threw themselves at the task of appropriating his legacy through a continuous and systematic process of distortion. This is what the government of the so-called "Popular Front of Acre" (FPA) has done over the course of the last 20 years. Serving the interests of international capital, they imposed, using and
abusing the image of Chico Mendes, a set of policies which resulted in an increase in privatisation and the destruction of forests.
From the extraction of timber, to the exploration of petrol and gas in the Vale do Juruá region of Acre and extensive cattle raising, they opened the door for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation – REDD projects and other Payment for Environmental Services – PSA initiatives. These policies represent, in all aspects, a full negation of what the rubber tapper leader defended, consider that they privatize the forest, violate the rights of the peoples of the forest and treat them like criminals. In this process, Chico Mendes was disfigured and, in a certain sense, killed several times over as he was turned into a defender of the very capitalism that killed him, turning him into the opposite of what he was.
Lamentably, what we see today in Acre is the attempt to transform into goods the land and territories which are sacred for the original peoples and which furthermore, are the source of subsistence for all inhabitants of the forest. Against this backdrop, we have seen criminalization grow in our midst over the past years, criminalization of ancestral practises of communities as well as any form of resistance to the capitalist appropriation of nature.
True to Chico Mendes' legacy of struggles, we denounce these murderous projects and those who defend them. Based on our painful experiences, we affirm to the world that proposals like "sustainable development" and "green economy" are a mere farce ad tragedy. They are a farce because they do not protect nature as they claim. They are a tragedy because they do exactly the opposite. And we know the reason. There is no way out in capitalism, in any of its forms and colors. One cannot take care of life with a system that kills.
We denounce this farce and demand: the immediate suspension of all commercial logging projects and all environmental and climate compensation policies that have been grown out of the false solutions of green capitalism; the demarcation of all territories of indigenous peoples and an agrarian reform rooted in popular sovereignty.
For the Amazon, for agrarian reform, for the demarcation of indigenous peoples' territories; against green capitalism and capitalism in any other color, whether it's pushed forward by so-called leftist or admittedly fascist governments!
Chico Mendes lives. The struggle continues.
Xapuri, December 16th, 2018
(*) Standoff is used here as translation for the term "empate" in Portuguese, the name given by the rubbertappers to their resistance strategy/action used to halt and prevent deforestation and land grabbing. "Empates" were organized when a catle rancher started to cut down a plot of forest where the rubber tappers families depended on, they mobilized and put themselves in front of the trees, protecting the forest with their own bodies.

With the exception of the car, nothing has changed the city more than the condo. Thanks to the condo, thousands and thousands of new residents have flooded into Toronto and helped make it one of the most vibrant cities in North America.
At the same time, however, many Torontonians, indeed, whole neighbourhoods, are consumed with rage against the condo. Mere mention of the C-word is enough to send shivers down the spine of otherwise mild-mannered homeowners and turn them into howling NIMBY hordes.
Typically, the object of their fury is height. And in a city where residential developers now routinely propose 75- to 85-storey towers, the fear of highrise buildings has never been more palpable.
Yet the most controversial condo project in Toronto these days is not something such as David Mirvish's Frank Gehry-designed triple-towered skyscraper extravaganza at King and John Sts., but a quietly elegant six-storey building at 109 Ossington Ave. It would replace a used-car lot and garage, the sort of thing you'd expect locals would be thrilled to see disappear.
Architectural renderings of 109 Ossington show a frankly modernist structure, an arrangement of glass-and-concrete cubes that breaks down the bulk into a series of smaller elements. With retail at street level, it appears to be fully integrated into the neighbourhood, and a welcome addition to a part of town that has seen little investment over the decades.
The same scenario is also being played out on Queen St. E., where the object of scorn is another midrise condo by the same architectural firm, one of Toronto's most innovative, RAW Design.
NIMBYism, which has an increasingly ugly side, has reached the point where many Torontonians seem to think they have the right to choose their neighbours.
The complaints are revealing. Most revealing is the accusation that 109 Ossington will be a "party building." This assertion gets to the heart of the fear and loathing so many feel for the very idea of the condo. Condos, they charge, attract the young, the noisy and the rootless.
As much as anything, perhaps, it is also a reaction against the marketing of condos, which, in its emphasis on "lifestyle," has long been aimed at the younger end of the market. In fact, developers have focused on specific demographic categories: the rich, of course, but mostly this mythical cohort of young, upwardly mobile professionals.
At the same time, in an effort to keep units affordable for this group, builders have reduced apartment sizes to the point where they have become more attractive as investments than places to live.
CityPlace is a good example. The average stay at the massive and still-unfinished development, which extends west of the Rogers Centre to Bathurst St., is said to be 27 months. Transient populations such as this, so the logic goes, don't put down roots and have little stake in their building let alone neighbourhood.
This marketing model has worked until recently because of the apparently insatiable demand on the part of international investors from China, Russia, Asia, Iran and beyond. That's changing now, but it hasn't been unusual for 60 to 70, even 80, per cent of new units to be snapped up by investors. The result in a market as hot as Toronto's is the condo industry has grown disconnected from the market. On the other hand, bankers, who look no further than the bottom line, like what they see.
Now, stricter mortgage and amortization requirements introduced by the federal government have had their intended effect. Investors are withdrawing. Sales of condos and building starts are down; the heady days of the Toronto real estate market are drawing to a close.
Lyon makes a lot of sense. Indeed, one imagines a period of reconciliation in the decades ahead during which the condos built today will finally be made inhabitable through interior renovations and, when possible, joining units. But the big issue must be how to ensure that projects yet to be built are more finely adapted to human, not exclusively industry, demands.
One of the major difference is that the condo in Manhattan is not viewed strictly as an investment or a temporary domicile, but as a place to live, often with kids and pets.
At the same time, like the rest of the planet, North America is witnessing a return to the city. Car ownership rates are down among young people for the first time since the 1950s. The same phenomenon can be seen in Europe where, after nearly 70 years, bicycle sales have outstripped car sales.
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has fought the trend, but to little avail. Removing bicycle lanes from Jarvis St. makes this city an object of international smirking, but it won't keep people from their bikes. Ironically, this step backwards comes at the same time when congestion in Toronto has reached a low point: According to at least one survey, gridlock in this city is the worst in North America. Another report, released last week, had three Canadian cities in its list of the worst five; in addition to Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver made the cut. The U.S. cities were Los Angeles and San Francisco.
In an RBC/Pembina Institute study published last summer; most respondents said they were willing to sacrifice space for location. They made it clear, all things being equal, that they would prefer to live in a town or city rather than a car-dependent suburb.
But of course all things are not equal. The big complaint against urban housing is the cost, which fewer and fewer can afford.
The argument for condos has never moved far from the issue of affordability. But the condo phenomenon, if not the condo boom, is about more than just prices. It lies at the heart of this great shift to the city, one that in decades ahead will come to characterize the early part of the 21st century as much as suburbia summed up the post-war period.
For a variety of reasons, urban life makes more sense than it has for generations. In a world of instant communication and social media, the lure of vehicular mobility is no longer irresistible. But before condos can fulfill their city-building potential, Toronto will have to learn how to have a mature debate on the subject, not a screaming match.
Now it's time for developers not working with public agencies to reacquaint themselves with the city they have done so much to change, the city that has made them so very rich. Builders argue, for example, that few buyers are really interested in the much-ballyhooed family unit. They claim larger apartments are the last to sell, that demand just doesn't exist.
On the other hand, condo towers in this city are home to more families than many realize. It isn't unknown for buildings to have several dozen families with kids among its residents. Not only must they agitate for schools and playgrounds in areas where children have traditionally been rare, they must also battle with their own condo boards, some of whom are less than enthusiastic about having kids around.
These are cultural wars that have yet to be played out. Even today, Canadians harbour a deep-seated bias against apartment living, especially highrise and rental. In many world cities, however, the Canadian ideal of the single-family house in the city is simply not feasible, let alone affordable. That's also true of Toronto, where real estate prices have become a major issue.
Toronto's Official Plan specifically states that development should be focused on what it calls the "avenues" — the main streets — so that it can be kept out of the city's established neighbourhoods, which are typically lowrise. Even so, there have been epic battles that have lasted years and necessitated the expenditure of millions of dollars.
Think of the twin-towers of Minto's Quantum project at Yonge St. and Eglinton Ave., or One Bedford at Bloor St. W. and Bedford Rd. Each in its own way has greatly enhanced the neighbourhood and streets on which it is located. Yet both were vilified.
Though the architecture differs, each project succeeds at ground level, which is where condo towers make their most crucial contribution to the city. The Minto project is instructive; despite claims from outraged locals, it was the best thing to appear at this important North Toronto corner in decades. One of the nicest touches is the pedestrian walkway that bisects the site on an east-west axis. It leads directly to a subway entrance on the other side of Yonge, thereby endearing itself to the thousands of commuters who use it daily.
This project could serve as a model for large-scale mixed-use condos in Toronto. Height notwithstanding, Quantum is ever mindful of context and responsive to it. Also worth pointing out is that a feature such as the walkway adds tremendous value without increasing costs. After all, how much does a path cost?
If nothing else, the approaching slowdown will be helpful if it provide an opportunity to analyze and absorb the lessons of recent years.
The hardest part, however, may be what happens beyond the city core in the post-war towers on the so-called "inner-suburbs." The semi-official Tower Renewal Project, launched during former Toronto mayor David Miller's term, has showed how these ubiquitous slabs can be not simply rehabilitated, but civilized. Though the owners have much to gain, mobilizing them won't be easy.
In the meantime, decreased demand will spell the end of the residential skyscraper — at least temporarily. More than ever, developers will focus on smaller projects, especially midrise. They cost less to build and are easier to finance in these troubled economic times.
But as we have learned from bitter experience, even these seemingly benign schemes get a rough ride in Toronto. Some cities just can't take yes for an answer.


Vernal, Utah is a town filled with excitement of rodeos and recreational activities along with a rich history dating back to the Jurassic Era! Hence the nickname Utah's "Dinosaur Land!" But it didn't start off that way. Unlike many Utah cities, Latter-day Saints did not establish Vernal. After Brigham Young sent a scout party in 1861, they reported the land being good for nothing, leaving it untouched. Pardon Dodds–a retired Indian Reservation worker–would visit the valley from time to time, eventually loving it and establishing the first home here leading to its incorporation on December 28, 1897. Twelve years later in 1909, multiple dinosaur bones were found about 15 miles outside of the city, and almost 40 years later, oil was discovered, proving jobs for the residents here! Trust me, Vernal is one small town you don't want to miss seeing, especially as you build this puzzle, discovering the secrets of Vernal, Utah along with Eric's humor in folk art style!


Traveller has a toolkit mentality, right? From the beginning, you could roll the same sort of subsector that the publishers rolled up. I mean, this may be a bigger thing than you might think, so I'll repeat it.
From the beginning, you could roll the same sort of subsector that the publishers rolled up.
Anyway, how many subsectors have you created, by hand, from scratch, starting from a completely and totally blank subsector grid?

Press through the struggles and appreciate what they, too, have to contribute to who you become.
Inky Johnson
Give everything to everything.
Show up. Don't quit. Live it. Don't quit. Appreciate it. Don't quit.
Then I dare you to do it again tomorrow and the day after that until it becomes part of you.
I dare you to watch this and not be changed.
Become a champion for life. Become a Vol for Life. Be like Inky.
Because Inky is right, football has a direct correlation to life, and that's one of the many reasons I love it so much. And the failure to understand that is why so many people just don't get how we can become so "obsessed" over a "game."
It's not just a game
It is life compressed, and it can teach players, coaches, and even fans many of the same life lessons on an accelerated schedule.

As rivers open up around the region, anglers are finally able to take advantage of walleye movements and the rather voracious appetite of these fish in this period just before the spawn. With the shortened time frame this year, access to walleyes ahead of their runs is limited, so knowing where to present offerings to them will be key in connecting with a limit for the spring's first fish fry or that one big marble-eyed monster for the memory books.
1. High & Low. With their light-sensitive eyes, look for walleyes to relate to deeper holes during the day and move up during low-light hours when they are more comfortable and have an advantage over prey. If inflowing meltwater in a river system is darkened due to stain or sediment, walleyes may hold shallower as they seek food items such as baitfish. Identify stretches of a river that have deeper scours and holes immediately adjacent to shallow areas and look for fish on either side of the break as light conditions dictate – deeper in bright conditions, shallower under clouds or at dawn and dusk. Working jigs tipped with minnows through likely areas will help follow the forage cues this time of year and is an effective way to eliminate water until walleyes are contacted and a solid spring bite is found.
2. Find the Inflow. Walleyes typically will make spawning runs up a major waterway into the smaller creeks and tributaries with proper spawning areas comprised of ample sand, gravel and rock to provide a resting place for their eggs. Look for pre-spawn walleyes to seek out these areas and hold up on the edge of them in the main river before the reproductive process begins. Use electronics to find a shift in bottom composition on a feeder delta coming into the main river and target the lower and upper portions of the slope to find walleyes depending on water turbidity, weather conditions and time of day. In addition to providing a place to spawn, these inflows also bring in food and oxygen as the water makes its way to the main river, giving walleyes a number of reasons to hang out until their biological clock's alarm goes off.
3. Target Barriers. Rocky Texas-crossings, low-head dams and other impediments to fish movement on a river will also stack walleyes up in spring. Watch for fish to stage several hundred yards downstream in deeper stretches and work their way back and forth between those holding spots and the barrier and the shallows around it. With the moving water, these locations also can provide suitable nesting sites for fish, and intercepting walleyes on their way up to them before the spawn gets underway is almost easy when everything times out right.
4. Current Events. Like many fish in rivers and streams, walleyes look to conserve energy by playing the current to their advantage and utilizing areas of slack water to rest and opportunistically ambush prey that floats or swims by. Identify current obstructions on the surface of a river such as islands, rockpiles, timber, wingdams and other notable breaks. Use electronics to pinpoint those deeper and less-detectable underwater current breaks such as boulders and rises on the riverbed which help provide slack areas for fish to rest in. Hit these places hard with a variety of offerings along the downstream sides and back edge to find where walleyes are holding.
5. Sometimes Structures. In spring, it's not unusual to find walleyes around structure near inflowing areas or downstream from spawning sites. Fallen trees, bridge pilings, docks and concrete or rip-rap dumpings along the shoreline all provide places of cover, current breaks and serve as the start of the food chain with small insects attracting baitfish, perch and other walleye forage. While they aren't primary areas that pop up immediately on every walleye angler's radar, they're often worth a pitch or two in order to determine whether or not the fish are relating to these secondary sites. They can be quickly probed with jigs or crankbaits and the determination can be made whether to stick around if the fish are lurking near them and biting.
Key in on these five locational factors this spring when walleyes start to make their spawning moves. Knowing where walleyes will be this time of year – even on a truncated timetable – helps eliminate unproductive water and puts baits where they need to be for success this spring.


Since its establishment in 1919, Okura pottery continues to make porcelain of high artistic value as the premier western kitchen maker in Japan. Products of Ookura pottery were admired with words such as "blue of Sable, white of Okura". "Whiteness, hardness of the porcelain, smooth as skin" can not be copied by others, so it is said to be the finest western style dishes in Japan and has a high reputation.

Newcastle United could face a battle to keep hold of captain Jamaal Lascelles in January with two title chasing clubs said to be interested in signing him.
Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur sent scouts to watch the central defender recently, according to the Newcastle Chronicle.
Lascelles has been a stand-out performer for Newcastle since they returned to the Premier League. Being England-qualified is also an attraction for clubs looking to get more domestically-produced players in their squad.
Newcastle refused to consider selling him in the summer and would attempt to again in January as they try to hold on to their Premier League status.
But whether they can hold onto 24-year-old Lascelles May hinge on how much is offered – everyone has their price – and whether manager Rafa Benitez stays with the club.
It may be that clubs have to wait until the summer. If Newcastle are relegated, they would struggle to hold on to such a highly rated player.
If they were to sell, they could charge top dollar are Lascelles is contracted to the Magpies until 2023, having signed a new deal. It seems Lascelles is committed to the club, and is a leader on and off the pitch.
Premier League title chasers Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal are among the clubs who could bid for Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele in January if the club decide to sell him.
French star Dembele, rated as one of the best young players in the world, has struggled to settle at Barcelona since his move in 2017, hampered by injuries and a failure to find his best form.
If this is the case, then several Premier League clubs would no doubt be interested. Arsenal have been linked with him in the past, and Dembele had a good partnership with Gunners striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang when they were at Borussia Dortmund.
London rivals Chelsea could also be interested – they are known to be looking for a striker and Dembele would complement players such as Eden Hazard and Olivier Giroud.
Liverpool could also be another destination – his style of play is similar to Jurgen Klopp's strike force.
It isn't known whether Barca would look to sell or send Dembele out on loan. If they sell, they would want to recoup the initial £97 million they paid Dortmund for him less than 2 years ago. That price is within the compass of all three clubs mentioned.
Of course, other European sides would be interested including the usual suspects such as Paris St-Germain, Juventus and AC Milan.
* Manchester City did the double over Spurs last season, winning 1-3 at Wembley Stadium and 4-1 at the Etihad.
* Spurs are off to their best start to a PL season, with 21 points from their 9 matches. A win tonight will see them leapfrog City into third with the same points as second-places Chelsea but behind on goal difference.
* City are also in form – unbeaten this season with 7 wins and 2 draws. They will go top of the Premier League on goal difference with a win tonight.
* Spurs have kept 3 consecutive clean sheets – they haven't managed 4 in a row since April 2017. However, City have managed 4 in a row.
A host of top European clubs including Manchester United, Chelsea and Juventus are considering signing Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey in the summer.
Ramsey, 27, is out of contract at Arsenal in the summer so can sign for a new club for free. He had been in negotiations over a new 4-year deal with the Gunners – and was set to put pen to paper – but the club suddenly withdrew the offer.
Understandably, there are a number of clubs interested in picking up the Welsh international for free. Especially given that he is in the peak years of his career and would ordinarily cost about £50 million.
Premier League rivals Manchester United and Chelsea have been linked to Ramsey. Reports have also said Italian sides Juventus and AC Milan and Spanish side Valencia are also monitoring his situation.
With Ramsey resigned to leaving the Emirates Stadium in the summer, he can be consoled by the fact he won't have a shortage of clubs that do want him on their books.
* This must be one of United's favourite fixtures; they've won this one 35 times in the Premier League era.
* United have 14 points from 9 games – the same as in 2016/17.
* Everton are in form with 3 wins out of 3. They haven't won 4 on the spin in two years.
* If United lose, it will be the first time they have lost 4 of their opening 10 fixtures in a season since 1990.
* Both sides have scored 15 goals so far this season, so goals should be expected.

Research Team Discovers Compound That Could "Freeze" Cancer Cells
It may be possible to freeze cancer cells and kill them where they stand, rather than trying to kill them after they have spread, investigators say.
The finding, by researchers from Oregon Health & Science University, was published in June in the journal Nature Communications. The team used a mouse model for their study.
According to a news release from the university, Raymond Bergan, M.D., Division Chief of Hematology and Medical Oncology and professor of medicine at OHSU, said that the majority of cancer treatment therapies today are directed toward killing cancer. To date, he said, no one has developed a therapy that can stop cancer cells from moving around the body.
"For the vast majority of cancer–breast, prostate, lung, colon, and others–if it is detected early when it is a little lump in that organ and it has not spread, you will live. And generally, if you find it late, after it has spread throughout your body, you will die," said Bergan, also the associate director of medical oncology in the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute and director of the OHSU Bergan Basic Research Laboratory. "Movement is key: the difference is black and white, night and day. If cancer cells spread throughout your body, they will take your life. We can treat it, but it will take your life."
For that reason, the study of cancer cell movement, or motility, has been the focus of his group's research for several decades.
In 2011, Bergan and his team took a novel approach to their research by working with chemists to jointly discover a drug that will inhibit the movement of cancer cells. The Nature Communications paper outlines the multidisciplinary team's work with KBU2046, a compound that was found to inhibit cell motility in four different human cell models of solid cancer types: breast, prostate, colon and lung cancers.
"We used chemistry to probe biology to give us a perfect drug that would only inhibit the movement of cancer cells and wouldn't do anything else," Bergan said. "That basic change in logic led us to do everything we did."
The team of investigators includes Bergan's team at OHSU, a chemist from Northwestern University as well as researchers from Xiamen University in China, the University of Chicago, and the University of Washington. Ryan Gordon, Ph.D., research assistant professor in the OHSU School of Medicine and co-director of the Bergan lab, said drawing upon the strengths of this cross-functional group was key to the research's success. "As we identified areas we were lacking, we looked at new cutting-edge technologies, and if there was something that didn't meet our needs, we developed new [assessments] to address our needs," he said.
The lab of Karl Scheidt, Ph.D., professor of chemistry and professor of pharmacology; director of the Center for Molecular Innovation and Drug Discovery; and executive director of the NewCures accelerator at Northwestern University, was responsible for the design and creation of new molecules that were then evaluated by Bergan's team for their ability to inhibit cell motility. Using chemical synthesis approaches, Scheidt and his team accessed new compounds that minimized motility in tumor cells, with few side effects and very low toxicity.
"We've taken a clue provided by nature and through the power of chemistry created an entirely new way to potentially control the spread of cancer," Scheidt said in the news release. "It's been a truly rewarding experience working together as a team toward ultimately helping cancer patients."
Bergan noted the process for narrowing down the specific drug compound was a process of refinement. "We started off with a chemical that stopped cells from moving, then we increasingly refined that chemical until it did a perfect job of stopping the cells with no side effects," he said. "All drugs have side effects, so you look for the drug that is the most specific as possible. This drug does that."
Bergan said the key to this drug was engaging the heat shock proteins–the "cleaners" of a cell. "The way the drug works is that it binds to these cleaner proteins to stop cell movement, but it has no other effect on those proteins." He said it is an unusual, unique mechanism that "took us years to figure out."
"Initially, nobody would fund us," Bergan said. "We were looking into a completely different way of treating cancer."
Ultimately, Gordon said the goal of this research is to look for a new therapeutic to benefit humans.
"The eventual promise of this research is that we're working toward developing a therapeutic that can help manage early stage disease, preventing patients from getting the more incurable later-stage disease," he said. He's quick to note this work has not been tested in humans, and doing so will require both time and money. The team's best estimate is that will take about two years and five million dollars of funding. They are currently raising money to do IND (investigational new drug) enabling studies, a requirement to conduct a clinical trial of an unapproved drug or an approved product for a new indication or in a new patient population.
In addition, Bergan and Scheidt have founded a company, Third Coast Therapeutics, aimed to bring this type of therapy to patients.
"Our eventual goal is to be able to say to a woman with breast cancer: here, take this pill and your cancer won't spread throughout your body. The same thing for patients with prostate, lung, and colon cancer," Bergan said. "This drug is highly effective against four cancer types (breast, colon, lung, prostate) in the in vitro model so far. Our goal is to move this forward as a therapy to test in humans."
"What early detection is trying to do is detect an early, lethal lesion. Cancers are lethal because they move," he said. "This drug is designed to stop that movement."
