Q: Force on suspension when hitting a step I'm trying to calculate the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on a wheel when encountering a step. The wheel and the steps are non-deformable.
I found two different approaches:

*

*energy approach, from which I can calculate the difference in speeds before and after, but I have no idea how to continue from there.
https://engineering.stackexchange.com/questions/23524/vertical-component-of-force-for-rigid-wheel-hitting-a-step

*impulse and angular momentum, the procedure described by the user QiLinXue on the bottom of the post bellow roughly makes sense to me, but I have no idea what is the direction of the average force he calculates. I also don't really understand what the velocity change represents.
What is the term for "shock" absorbed by car suspension?
If anyone has any pointers how to continue from here, it would be much appreciated. I'm trying to calculate the vertical force to select the appropriate spring for the given speed.

A: If you had a lone wheel of known size and mass which experiences no friction at the point of contact, you might be able to simulate this situation. The problem is that the force of contact changes in both magnitude and direction as the wheel rises up over the step.

Winter is almost here in Keokuk, and with it always comes chilly temperatures that could leave us bundling up with extra layers. Furnace service and added layers are typically dependable ways to keep warm on chilled days, but there are a number of other suggestions available out there that you could be using that are actually making you colder, not warmer.
Hot drinks will make you warmer: while the initial sensation of a hot drink can help you feel like you're warm, your brain may sense that it ought to start cooling off your body, generating cooling mechanisms.
Alcoholic drinks will warm you up: the reason we normally feel warm after a few beverages, it's merely your skin warming. Alcohol can actually reduce your core temperature, making you colder. A well-tuned furnace, thanks to having annual furnace service completed, is a better bet.
Hot showers heat you up: as it is with hot drinks, the heat of your shower is merely a quick feeling that goes away when the water is dried up and toweled off. That's why it's so hard to open the shower curtain.
Wearing only a hat will take care of your warming needs: while there are a variety of sources that say that a great deal of body heat is lost via your head, it's critical to remember that any part of uncovered skin increases heat loss. Therefore, while it seems obvious, if you're only using a hat and not a coat or gloves, you have a better chance to lose body heat more quickly.
So now that you have read about a couple myths surrounding staying warm this winter, it's not hard to recognize the importance of something as basic as furnace service. Of course there are other methods to stay warm this winter besides furnace service, but there may not be a lot that have such a large effect on your day-to-day comfort. Give WM J Kraus & Son a call at 319-229-2318 or set up an appointment online to find out more about what furnace service can do for you in Keokuk.

Couple Arrested and Children Taken by CPS When Trying to Leave Texas to Visit Dying Grandmother
November 16, 2015 TLB Staff HEALTH 0

They just wanted to honor a dying grandmother's deathbed wish to see her grandbabies one time before she leaves this earth. Now, thanks to the intervention of a Texas Ranger and CPS, that may never happen. Ahmed and Olubunmi Giwa were arrested last weekend and all of their children seized by Child Protective Services when they tried to fly out on an emergency trip to see Mr. Giwa's mother. Olubunmi doesn't understand why they are doing this to her family:
What human being would not understand a dying person's wish to see their grandchildren before she passes? CPS is denying her dying wish! This is a humanitarian issue. They've turned themselves into God.
Ahmed's mother is reportedly doing very poorly. The family was simply planning to visit her in Nigeria for a couple of days. They had return tickets for everyone, and their car was parked in the parking deck at the airport the whole time.
Ali Giwa was medically kidnapped on April 14, 2015, by Harris County CPS – a county the family doesn't even live in – on allegations of "failure to thrive." It is still unclear how Harris County has jurisdiction in this case. Though Ali has some developmental delays, CPS never mentioned to the judge that he is in the 75th percentile with his height and weight. He was returned home on July 29, but the bizarre case remained open.
Now, CPS has taken the 2 year old's twin sister and his 3 year old sister as well and placed them into foster care, accusing his parents of "interfering with child custody" and attempted international kidnapping, of their own children.
Medical Kidnap first reported the Giwas' story in May of 2015, after Randy Wallace of Fox 26 Houston broke the story:

Later, we reported that the Giwas were told that they had to fire their attorney Julie Ketterman, who is known for her tenacity in fighting CPS, if they ever wanted to see their son Ali again. They were also placed under a gag order, and forced to sign a "Rule 11 Agreement" as a condition for getting their son back.
Houston Couple Gagged and Told to Fire CPS-fighting Attorney in Order to See Medically-Kidnapped Child
On Saturday, November 7, the Giwa family drove to the airport in Dallas, Texas. However, CPS had flagged the children's passports. When they arrived in Dallas, they were detained by Dallas Customs and Immigration, and the Border Patrol. They explained what CPS has done to them, and asked the authorities to do their research.
A CPS social worker went to the airport, demanding that the Giwas be arrested. The customs and border patrol official reportedly researched the issue and found the coverage of their story online by Randy Wallace of Fox 26 and by Medical Kidnap. They reportedly recognized that the family has done nothing wrong, and refused to arrest Ahmed and Olubunmi. They were prepared to allow them to continue their journey.
Texas Ranger Arrives – He Is No Chuck Norris
Since CPS was apparently getting nowhere with Customs, Immigration, or Border Patrol, or even the airport police, they called in a Texas Ranger. The Giwas were not permitted to make any phone calls or contact anyone for help. The Texas Ranger proceeded to arrest the couple. When Olubunmi questioned the ranger's authority to arrest them, he reportedly told them:
I have more power and authority than the federal authorities. I am over them!
He refused to allow them to call any friends or relatives to pick up the children. The ranger allegedly told them that he had the power to turn over their children to CPS, and that was what he was going to do.
When the Texas Ranger demanded their passports, the border patrol agents reportedly refused to hand over any of the family's passports except the one belonging to Ali Giwa, because there was an open CPS case involving him. The other children had never been in CPS custody before.
Though airport police appeared reluctant to participate, the ranger enlisted them to transport the Giwas to the local police station. When they arrived, the officer reportedly questioned what authority they had to hold the Giwas. Nonetheless, they were issued a warning for "the offense of interfering with child custody," and put in jail, with a $10,000 bond, each.

Contrast this ranger's behavior with that of the man forever associated with the concept of the Texas Rangers, Chuck Norris, star of "Walker, Texas Ranger." He wrote a powerful piece last year for Townhall.com, which makes his perspective very clear. In "Who Owns Our Kids Anyway?" he wrote:
It's time for the government to stop overreaching into our families and dictating where children can pray, what children will learn, what children will eat, what medical treatment children will receive and where children will go to school.
Government needs less of a role in running our families and more of a role in supporting parents' decisions for their children. Children belong to their parents, not to the government. And parents ought to have the right and government support to parent them without federal mandates, education or invasion in our homes.
Social Worker: We Have No Intention of Returning Your Children
The Giwas were able to bond out of jail at 11 pm on Sunday, November 8. The first thing they did when they got home was to text the Harris County social worker to ask where their children were. She sent them this text:
Unfortunately, we have no intention of returning your children to you at this point. You will need to contact your attorney.
They were alarmed to learn that the judge approved the "emergency removal" without a hearing. Their children were placed in foster care with strangers, even though Olubunmi's mother and several friends are available who could take care of the children. CPS refused to consider them, even though federal law requires that placement of children taken by CPS only be in foster care if there are no family or friends available to take the children – a law that is ignored by CPS in the majority of the stories we cover at Medical Kidnap.
Bizarre Allegations Used as Grounds to Medically Kidnap Ali Giwa
The Giwas were originally accused of medical neglect, stemming from disagreements with doctors in the U.K., where Olubunmi was studying last year for her second PhD. She already holds one PhD in Education.
Ali is a twin boy who is developmentally lagging behind his twin sister. Their parents have sought medical answers, but doctors have never been able to give them any.
The first dispute with doctors occurred when Olubunmi was still breastfeeding her toddlers past a year old, and a doctor in the Scotland took issue with that. The doctor told the mother that breastfeeding should stop when children turn one year old.
However, the mother did not agree. She is in good company – the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends AT LEAST one year, and the World Health Organization recommends breastfeeding for at least 2 years. This should have been a non-issue, but the doctor decided to report Mrs. Giwa to Child Protective Services.
Shortly after, she took Ali for a routine checkup, where the doctor ran some tests about his developmental delays, all of which came back normal. The doctor suggested an MRI. According to an affidavit by the social worker to the Harris County Family Court,
It is unclear what the MRI would be looking for, but mother was concerned about "side effects" from the procedure and was reluctant to allow child to have the MRI.
What she was concerned about were side effects from the anesthesia they would use to put Ali asleep for the MRI, and the doctors told her that they couldn't guarantee his safety. Olibunmi asked the doctor,
Will the result of this test make any difference in the therapy he is already getting?
When the doctor told her that it wouldn't, she decided not to take that risk just then, opting to wait till he is older to do the procedure. She learned that the British Health System said that a developmental delay did not necessitate an emergency MRI, so no appointment was given for it. Again, this should have been a non-issue. But not to CPS.
Around January of 2015, the family moved from Scotland to Britain, out of concern for the children because the colder climate was leading to the children being sick a lot. However, Child Protective Services in the U.K. construed this as "the mother [being] too quick to move from Scotland."
A U.K. judge ruled in the family's favor, and the family believes this should have ended the issue then and there.
International CPS Collusion
The crazy allegations followed them back home to Texas, where Harris County (a county where the family doesn't even live) took a referral by a U.K. social worker to heart and began pursuing the Giwas, accusing them of medical neglect, allegedly without any evidence other than hearsay. They labeled Ali as "failure to thrive," neglecting to mention in their reports that Ali is in the 75th percentile for height and weight. They also neglect to mention that Ali was in therapy both in the U.K. and when he returned home to Texas. His mother, who holds a PhD in Education and is trained in Special Education, is trained to do therapy with Ali herself.
As Medical Kidnap has previously reported, Harris County CPS forced the Giwas to sign a "Rule 11 Agreement" after they took custody of Ali, as a condition of returning Ali to his home. The document contains several intrusive and seemingly unconstitutional requirements. CPS is accusing the parents of not abiding by the agreement, even though they, themselves, did not abide by the point that was most important to the Giwa family, that of returning their little boy home. According to the agreement, that was supposed to take place on June 26, but they kept him in foster care until July 29.
Rule 11 restricted the Giwas' freedom of movement, forbidding them from traveling outside of Harris County (where they do not live) and counties bordering Harris County without prior written consent of DFPS, the Attorney Ad Litem and the GAL.
It also placed a gag order on them, which is considered unconstitutional by their attorney, forbidding them to talk to the media. This is a tactic being employed by family court judges all over the United States. Fortunately, a few judges recognize the Constitution they are sworn to uphold, and refuse to issue such orders.

One must ask the question: is it ever acceptable for a court to seize a child for the act of his parents exercising their freedom of speech or freedom of the press? That seems to be what is happening here, because there are no grounds given for seizing Ali's sisters except for these allegations based on allegedly shaky grounds.
Psychological Evaluation Demanded – ONLY with CPS Approved Psychologist
The Giwas completed the items that CPS ordered them to do in the service plan issued in June. One of the CPS demands was that the Giwas submit to a psychological evaluation. They obtained one with a licensed psychologist with 10 years of experience, paying for the evaluation themselves. However, CPS wants them to go to a psychologist that they work with, to be paid for at taxpayer expense. They were told that the results of that test would not be told to them until the next court date. Olubunmi has a problem with this demand, because it looks like a set-up to her. She says:
Even a baby understand that that's going to lead to foul play.
Olubunmi Giwa. Image courtesy Fox 26 Houston
Indeed, many families and even attorneys have reported to Medical Kidnap that the psychological evaluations with the CPS-approved psychologists are designed for the parents to fail, giving CPS reason to keep the children.
Additionally, the Giwas have been ordered to obtain very expensive genetic testing for Ali, for which they would be required to pay $5000 out of pocket. A genetic test had already been completed, and an additional test was not deemed medically necessary by Medicaid or private insurance, so they refuse to cover it. However, CPS is demanding the parents to pay for it out of pocket. Since he has been in CPS custody, they have not taken him for the testing they see as necessary.
Confused Social Worker Justifies Taking Ali's Sisters
Almost none of the information contained in the affidavit about the Giwa daughters refers to them. Just about everything in the allegations allegedly concerns their brother, except a report about the events in the airport. The Harris County social worker testified in the affidavit (though she allegedly wasn't there) that the children were calling the social worker in Dallas "Momma" while their parents were being detained, reporting that "the children did not want to go into the room with the parents; they stayed in the hallway with [the social worker]."
What she allegedly left out of her report was that the worker enticed the children with toys and allegedly kept calling the children to her. She also had the parents' iPad. She allegedly construed their interest in the toys as disinterest in their parents, and apparently confused toddlers asking for their mother as somehow calling her Momma.
Nothing else in the documents allegedly even refers to the girls.
Randy Wallace of Fox 26 Reports on Thursday's Court Hearing
Randy Wallace interviewed the Giwas and their attorney Julie Ketterman, who has been re-hired by the couple. He notes that CPS "offers no proof" of their allegations against the Giwas.
"It's very traumatic for the whole family," Ahmed Giwa said.
Now CPS has taken all three children into protective custody, even though a CPS case worker admitted in court Ali is doing much better.
The Giwa's say their only crime was wanting their kids to meet their grandmother before she dies.
"I would have done it," Ketterman said. "I would've done it in a heartbeat because you cannot get that back. Once that grandmother is gone she's gone."
See the Fox 26 story here, and be sure to thank Randy Wallace for continuing to cover this important story.
Call to Action – Tuesday Court Hearing
The Giwas have court again at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, November 17, at the 314th Juvenile Court, 1200 Congress Street, Houston, Texas 77002. They would love to see the streets lined with people supporting them in their fight for their children. A Facebook page has been set up by supporters for the family – Save Ali Giwa from Harris County Child Protective Services.
Greg Abbott is the Governor of Texas, and he may be reached at (512) 463-2000
(512) 463-2000, or contacted here. He also has a Facebook page.
Ken Paxton is the Attorney General of Texas. He may be reached at (877) 673-6839
(877) 673-6839 FREE, or contacted here.
Olubunmi says that this isn't about the children to CPS; it's about retaliation against them because they went to the media and are exposing them. Their Constitutional Rights to freedom of speech, freedom of movement, and the right to enjoy their own children are being denied. But they will never give up fighting for their children.
I miss my babies. I can't wait for them to come home so I can love on them.

Utah senators have OK'd a measure that would allow people with qualifying illnesses to use cannabidiol, a also known as CBD, a compound found in cannabis (aka marijuana). Senate Bill 89 passed in an 18-8 vote.
This bill, sponsored by Sen. Evan Vickers, R-Cedar City, would allow qualified patients to use cannabidiol, and allow the state to issue licenses to operate cannabidiol production facilities and dispense the extract. Counties, cities or towns could restrict the location of cannabidiol facilities under the bill.
This is one of three bills about marijuana being considered this year. Another one, Senate Bill 73, sponsored by Sen. Mark Madsen, R-Eagle Mountain, is awaiting a vote in the Senate. That bill started out as a measure to legalize use of medical marijuana — the whole plant, not just an extract — but on Friday was amended. It went from legalizing "medical cannabis" to "cannabis product" which means something intended for human ingestion that contains cannabis or extracted cannabinoids and that is prepared in a medical dosage form. Then there's Senate Concurrent Resolution 11, calling on Congress to reclassify the drug as a Schedule II drug, and encourages researchers to study the benefits of medical marijuana. It's sponsored by Sen. Brian Shiozawa, R-Salt Lake City, and is awaiting debate in the Senate.
A major roadblock for SB 73 came in a statement from the LDS Church, which came out earlier this month in opposition to it, but had no objection to Vickers's bill. But after the amendments, the church changed its stance on Madsen's bill.
Vickers said the strength in his bill was in the regulatory process and the involvement several state agencies would have in regulating the substance.
"Quite frankly, Sen. Madsen and I have the same desire in our hearts, we both have a desire to help patients," Vickers said.
Several senators said they wanted to hold off on voting on this bill until Madsen's bill also could be voted on — it was debated and amended on Friday but is awaiting a second reading vote. This was the third reading vote for SB 89. A motion to wait failed.
"I'm sure you're just really tired of hearing a lot about marijuana," Vickers told the senators before the vote on Monday morning.
Vickers's bill now heads to the state House of Representatives for consideration.

The coat of the Portuguese Sheepdog is either long and smooth or with a slight wave. It does not have an undercoat. Colors include yellow-red chestnut, gray, fawn, wolf or black. A few white hairs are permissible but patches of white hairs are not, except for white patches on the chest. The forelimbs are symmetrically covered with long hair. It has a beard, which gives it a mature look. The eyes are round and dark, with a gentle expression. The moderately sized ears usually hang down the sides of the cheeks, but sometimes they are cropped. Cropping is banned in some European countries. For his moderate size, the dog appears rather high on the legs. His feet are particularly adaptable to rough terrain. His legs are strong and his chest is deep. The hair is longer on the head, giving the dog bangs and a banged-up untidy look. It has a wide, sturdy head with a prominent nose, and strong jaws and teeth. The tail is pointed, reaching the dog's hocks.
The Portuguese Sheepdog is almost 100 years old. This shaggy, all-purpose herder, drover and guardian dog from the southern plains of Portugal may descend from Briards imported by Count de Castro Guimaraes, which then bred with local mountain dogs. Although he appears similar to the Berger des Pyrenees and the Catalan Sheepdog, no reliable evidence is forwarded to suggest a direct line of ancestry. For most of the 1900s, the Cão da Serra de Aires was the companion of poor shepherds in southern Portugal, but by the 1970s it was almost extinct. Fortunately, the beauty of its coat and its docile disposition came to the notice of breeders, and today its appeal to middle-class Portuguese dog owners ensures its survival. Although it is virtually unknown outside its native land, this shaggy-looking canine is a class dog, worthy of more international recognition. Owners say that these little "monkey dogs," nicknamed for their peculiar-looking muzzle and quaint expression, have been a part of the farming operation and family life for as long as they can remember. As with many working breeds, workability was more important than looks, and the standard was not fixed until 1930.

ELLIOT IKILEI AGAINST STUFF
Ruling Categories: Accuracy
Unfair Coverage
On October 13, Stuff published the article Candidate uses photo of 11-year-old girl for anti-rainbow 'smear campaign'.The article outlines how Elliot Ikilei of the New Conservative Party shared a Facebook post using the image of 11-year-old Charli Bickerton. The image was taken from a children's news site where Charli had gone behind the scenes at a drag show for kids. Stuff reported the Facebook post commented on the inappropriateness of heavy make-up on children and inferred that drag queens were 'grooming' children. Charli's parents are interviewed in the article because they are upset that their daughter's name and image have been used by a politician for an anti-rainbow 'smear campaign.'
Elliot Ikilei complains that the article was inaccurate because he did not make any negative references to sexual orientation and has only spoken out about adult entertainment – in this case drag queen entertainment – as a sexualized style of adult entertainment which was being presented as acceptable for children.
He also argues that references to him 'using' the photo are inaccurate. He states he just attached the link to the children's news site.
He also states that the word 'smear' used in the article is inaccurate because nothing in his Facebook post is inaccurate. To him, drag queen entertainment (in the same way that horror, gore, porn is) is an unacceptable form of adult entertainment for children.
Ben Heather replies on behalf of Stuff. He states that article is accurate and that the comments made in the post were negative towards the rainbow community. He refers to the specific comments Mr Ikilei made about drag queens' grooming the new generation. These, he argues, refer to drag queens' 'propagating LGBQTI+ ideologies', not the broader sexualizing of young people without reference to their sexuality as Mr Ikilei suggests. Mr Heather states that this statement feeds indirectly into the myth of homosexuals, in drag or otherwise, grooming and recruiting children.
Mr Heather refutes Mr Ikilei's claim that he did not 'use' the photo. In linking to the article, which contained the photo, he cannot negate the use of the photo, which was clearly visible on his public, political Facebook account.
Regarding the use of 'smear', Mr Heather concludes that this was the opinion of Charli's parents and was clearly identified as such. He states that Mr Ikilei is entitled to his opinion that their child was being sexualized just as they are that she was not.
While not stated in the complaint, at question is Principle 1: Accuracy: publications should be bound at all times by accuracy…. and should not deliberately mislead or misinform readers by commission or omission.
The complainant identifies three instances of what he considers to be inaccuracies: that he did not cast negative aspersions on the LGBQTI+ community with his Facebook post as stated in the article; that it was inaccurate to report that he 'used' the young girl's photo; and that he did not 'smear' the young girl's name and image.
While the Media Council did not see the original full Facebook post, the article quotes directly from it including the inference about drag queens grooming children. Mr Ikilei does not dispute these facts in his complaint. This statement does cast drag queens in a negative light and will likely to be viewed by any reasonable reader as an anti-rainbow statement. Rainbow communities include a wide range of identities including drag queens. As such, the Media Council can find no attempt by the publicationto deliberately mislead or misinform its readers.
Likewise, as Mr Ikilei deliberately linked the article that included the photo to his Facebook post, he did 'use' it. Again, Stuff cannot be seen to beto deliberately misleading or misinforming its readers.
The reference to the 'smear campaign' and misappropriation of the photo and girl's name and image, were phrases and issues raised by her parents and are clearly identified as quotes. These are the views of the parents, not of Stuff. Again, there is no inaccuracy in the reporting.
The complaint is not upheld.
Media Council members considering the complaint were Liz Brown (Chair), Raynor Asher, Rosemary Barraclough, Craig Cooper, Jo Cribb, Ben France-Hudson, Jonathan MacKenzie, Hank Schouten, Marie Shroff, Christina Tay and Tim Watkin.

Where Does the Stepfamily Sit? Pastoral Dimensions of Funeral Seating Arrangements
February 13, 2017 by Amy Ziettlow
Bill was a long-time member of the ELCA congregation I serve as pastor. Prior to pronouncing the benediction at his memorial service, I watched the honor guard play taps and present the flag to Mary, Bill's widow and second wife. While part of me was – as always – moved by this sight, another part of me thought: "Oh, nelly!"
It was at this point when I noticed that Bill's daughter, Brenda, sat in the second pew, behind her stepmother and stepsiblings. Her stepmother, Mary, like most widows, sat in a place of honor: the first pew. Her two daughters, Bill's stepdaughters, and their spouses sat to Mary's right, also in the first pew. Bill was a beloved husband and stepfather.
However, Brenda was his only daughter, and she sat in the second pew. Brenda's mother, Bill's first wife, also attended the service but sat in the back. Thus, Brenda sat alone at her father's funeral separated from her mother and her stepmother.
This stepfamily's seating arrangement is one that I should have picked up on before the service even started. I have spent the last five years studying modern families, caregiving, and mourning. Naomi Cahn, a law professor at George Washington University, Elizabeth Marquardt, a divinity school classmate, and I conducted and analyzed over 60 in-depth interviews with mid-life adults one year after the death of their mother, father, or stepparent.
Interviews followed the natural chronology of care and grief:
the news of a diagnosis or accident,
the medical, financial, legal and spiritual choices made during the provision of care,
mourning practices,
settling the parent's estate, and
the adjustment to how life has changed in the year since the death of the parent figure.
Drawing upon our collective experience in hospice care and parish ministry (me), children of divorce (Elizabeth), and elder law, modern families, and trusts and estates (Naomi), we studied their narratives to better understand how the marital and nonmarital choices of a parent shape the experience of elder care and loss. We concluded that many tweaks could be made in the practice of today's lawyers, clergy members, and family caregivers to better serve the new normal in American families.
One lesson we learned is that seating arrangements at funerals matter. Overall, the interviewees' narratives about the funerals were told in broad sweeps. They described snapshot memories of specific moments during the wakes and services. Unless they brought the service bulletin or remembrance card with them to the interview, they struggled to recall what scriptures were read, who spoke (unless they gave the eulogy), or what songs were played or sung. They remembered most clearly the faces of those who attended the ritual, and the family seating arrangement for the service.
In chapter six of our book, Homeward Bound: Modern Families, Elder Care and Loss (Oxford University Press 2017), Naomi and I give extensive space to analyzing the seating positions at the funeral. Spatial arrangements assumed great importance for all those interviewed. For stepfamilies, especially, subsequent disputes over the deceased's estate, and a general fraying of emotional connections, could often be traced to tensions over where they sat (or didn't sit) at the funeral. A negative experience at the funeral often foreshadowed the stepfamily's low level of adaptation and reorganization after the ritual.
In contrast, within family systems where the parents had been in their first and only marriage at the time of death, role clarity continued from before death to after. The absence of the deceased parent caused pain and sadness, but mothers remained mothers, children remained children, and siblings remained siblings. While death may have affected their connections, no member risked losing his or her place in the family. At the funeral, grown children sat with the surviving spouse in the front row for the service. Minus the deceased, the family was a coherent unit.
For most stepfamilies, the death of the parent seemed also to mark the death of that expression of the family. Without the mediating presence of the deceased, the role of the stepparent became fuzzy or conflicted. Grown children wondered, "Am I still a stepdaughter? What does that mean?" These feelings of confusion were magnified when children felt the stepparent had not invited them to sit together in the front row at the funeral or stand next to them during the visitation. They took offense and began to put distance between themselves and the stepparent.
For example, one daughter, Candace, recalled arriving at the funeral services for her father and reaching out to her stepmother, Susan. The two had historically had a negative relationship marked by ill will, but Candace wanted to try to connect over the death of her father. As a gesture of compassion, she asked her stepmother, "Do you want us to sit with you, like, as a family?" And Susan replied, "Yeah, that would be nice because I really feel like an outsider with your family." However, as soon as other people started to arrive, her stepmother "never talked to us again. Never asked us to come sit up there with her—nuthin.'" In defiance, Candace stood in the back.
Even in stepfamilies who had worked smoothly together during the illness of the parent, the kin relationship began fraying during the funeral. Rhonda and her siblings, half-siblings, and stepmother of thirty years, Judith, became a caregiving team in her father's final months of life in hospice home care. However, the funeral service began to dredge up past hurts. Judith's extended family attended the funeral but, according to Rhonda, they "never accepted us, because our dad was divorced, and Judith's family didn't like that. We were the stepchildren." When they sat down for the service, Rhonda believed that she and her siblings belonged in the front row, with Judith. Instead,
"Judith's family and her sisters sat in the front row, and pushed us to the back, and that really upset me….I'm sure Judith didn't think about it, but why? It's huge—it pushed me back, it pushed my children back. And we're his first family. It made me feel so divided because we were shoved to the back."
Occasionally stepfamilies did work well together; a history of warmth in the relationship between the surviving stepparent and the grown child set the stage for subsequent interactions. One component in our definition of positive stepfamily relations lies in those who, a year after the death, still considered each other "family," as evidenced by continuing to celebrate holidays and significant events together, including the anniversary of the parent's death.
For example, Phillip's parents divorced when he was in elementary school, and his parents were able to foster a good relationship with each other, even though his father quickly remarried. His father even left part of his inheritance to his first wife. Over the years, Phillip grew to appreciate his stepmother, Cheryl, and described how she was the one he turned to for advice on his finances. When his father was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, Cheryl kept Phillip in the loop through text, e-mail, and phone calls concerning different treatment options. They were both with his father in the ER after his heart attack when a blood clot killed him. Cheryl included Phillip in making decisions at the funeral home about the service and the burial.
This stepmother and stepson sat together in the front pew at the funeral services and remained in touch in the year since his father's death. Whereas the emotional connections of stepfamilies who sat apart at the funeral services tended to fray in the year following the death, sitting together reinforced the warmth of Phillip and Cheryl's previous relationship and built a foundation for on-going support as they grieved his father and her husband, together.
Stepfamilies fill the pews of our congregation, and mid-life stepchildren, like Candace, Rhonda, and Philip, are beginning to step into the caregiving and grieving role for their parents and stepparents. When I forgot to apply our insights to Brenda and her stepfamily, I sought to rectify my mistake. During the repast in our fellowship hall, I sat with Brenda over a Jell-o square and a ham sandwich. I acknowledged that she did not sit in the front row, and I apologized if she felt slighted. She confessed that she did not actually want to sit up front because, "I am more of a backstage person." Also, she didn't feel especially close to her stepmother or stepsiblings, so she preferred having her own space to mourn. Regardless, I wanted her to know that her pastor noticed.
Discussing where we sit during a ritual matters. Pastoral directive in planning and conducting the funeral service with a family, with a keen eye to where family members sit, has ramifications for family systems beyond the ritual itself in profound ways. While the discussion can be awkward for all of us and it might bring various tensions to the surface, it might also prevent hurt feelings and loneliness, and serve as a subtle reminder to everyone that they are family.

Pretty City Murder
A tidy murder pits a San Francisco police inspector, priest, and hotel owner against each other in a page-turning tale of how far some people will go to protect their reputations and lifetime achievements. When a priest stumbles upon his brother, a slow learner, lying dead in his elegantly-appointed 12th floor hotel apartment, his unfortunate demise compels an investigation that leads three lifelong friends into a fierce conflict. Father Ralph MacKenzie, SJ, Dean of Arts and Sciences at the University of San Francisco, panics. Larry Leahy, family man, history buff, and tough cop investigates. James O'Hara, owner of the Greenwich Grand Hotel, rushes to the scene. All three will draw on life experiences shared since first grade. Risking a long-sought promotion, Leahy searches for the truth among hotel employees, each hiding their own secrets. Leahy and his partner, Inspector Hieu Trang, navigate the danger, deception, and misdirection awaiting them at the Golden Gate Bridge and in North Beach, Chinatown, and the majestic Eastern Sierras. Now, they're getting closer to the shocking truth.
This piece of fiction joins mystery and thriller into one book and thrusts the reader into the world of law and order and its enforcers. The novel is obtainable on Amazon in hardback, paper-back, Kindle, and, eventually, on Audible.
Joseph Gartrell, WordMule.com
In its best moments, the plot of Pretty City Murder twitches taut a web of debt and duty, priest and police officers, childhood friends and estranged family. Under-girding the murder mystery is a story about the strengths and stresses of obligation and the cord which binds the characters together and offers service as both lifeline and noose. Looming over the murder mystery is the presence of the Greenwich Grand Hotel, described by an author willing to let the reader stop to smell the roses from the very wallpaper. Anyone who puts the book down without getting a bit of the Greenwich under the fingernails has been reading it all wrong.
Robert K. Lindsey, author of The 5th of July and God Is Aloha
Pretty City Murder is an intriguing murder mystery set in the heart of San Francisco. I love good writing. I love a good story. Mr. Dunn gave me both. Kept me manacled to every page. Looking for more. Expecting more.
Kathy D. Lindsey
My brother was always a gifted writer growing up. Pretty City Murder is a great example of his ability to create a story with all the elements we readers enjoy ~ intrigue, mystery, suspense. You will not be able to put this mystery novel down!

ECSSR Reports & AnalysisIntense Rivalry over Gas in the Eastern Mediterranean Portends the Outbreak of Armed Conflict
Intense Rivalry over Gas in the Eastern Mediterranean Portends the Outbreak of Armed Conflict
Akhbar AlSaa
The Eastern Mediterranean region is witnessing fierce rivalry following the recent discovery of new fields estimated to contain approximately 130 trillion cubic feet of gas. Competition is heightened as a result of overlapping maritime boundaries between most, if not all, of the countries bordering the sea, increasing the chance of conflict.
As one of the largest seas in the world, the Mediterranean spans an area of 2.5 million square kilometres, while its location has historically been of paramount geostrategic importance. It occupies a central global position, connecting the three oldest and largest continents in the world (Asia, Africa and Europe). Twenty-three countries border the Mediterranean, the only sea in the world surrounded by as many countries; it actually resembles an inland sea, almost completely surrounded by land.
The Mediterranean is an important center for global trade and maritime traffic, and is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. It is estimated that 220,000 merchant ships cross it every year. They transport 100 million tons of cargo, accounting for one third of the world's total merchant shipping. Moreover, the Mediterranean serves as a meeting point of civilisations and cultures. It has historically contributed to cultural exchange between nations and peoples, connected to the Atlantic Ocean via the Strait of Gibraltar, which is only 14 kilometers wide, and to the Red Sea via the Suez Canal.
Despite the importance of the Mediterranean to its bordering countries and the rest of the world, until recently, it has not been a source of serious disputes; with the exception of the Turkish-Greek conflict over Cyprus. Unlike seas with similar strategic value, such as the South and East China Seas, the Mediterranean has been a factor in greater cooperation and rapprochement between bordering nations, and even those close to it. However, energy, specifically gas, has now triggered intense rivalry with the potential for conflict. This is in light of recent developments and increasing tensions between some countries, especially Turkey and Greece, along with others in Europe.
So far, the proven reserves of gas have been estimated at 130 trillion cubic feet. Although a very small number compared to global gas reserves, and representing less than 10 percent of Russia's reserves, its significance relates to two factors. First, bordering countries need these reserves to meet their own energy demands, as most are gas importers. The second issue is the proximity of the reserves to consumer states, particularly in Europe. The new reserves will save money and time, also allowing consumer countries to diversify their gas sources and lessen their dependence on states, such as Russia, which the Europeans consider the greatest challenge to the security and stability of their continent.
As a result, the importance of the Eastern Mediterranean increases daily, not only for the Mediterranean countries, but also for gas-producing states. They are likely to face fierce competition in the future, not only because of expected competition from the new fields, but also because of their ability to deliver gas to Europe, being in such close proximity.
The escalating disputes between Mediterranean countries, in the absence of shared mechanisms or cooperation frameworks, began to surface in the form of issues over sovereignty, particularly the Turkish-Greek dispute. There are also debates over the exclusive economic zone of the eight Eastern Mediterranean countries; Libya, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus and Israel, whose maritime boundaries overlap in a way not seen elsewhere in the world. All of this exacerbates tensions and increases the likelihood of armed conflict, particularly as the Law of the Sea has not settled the issue of these overlapping boundaries. However, it has been able to establish general rules for cooperation and agreement. An additional concern is that some of these countries have never signed up to the Law of the Sea and view themselves as having no obligation to abide by its provisions. Meanwhile, ongoing political disputes between the countries over a variety of regional issues and crises, further complicate the situation.
