Average family farm income to drop by 18% in 2021 if no trade deal agreed
Sylvester Phelan
If no trade deal is agreed between the EU and the UK for Brexit, the average family farm income in 2021 would decrease by 18%, a new report from Teagasc has warned.
The Teagasc Outlook 2021, Economic Prospects for Agriculture, was published today, Tuesday (December 1), at the annual Teagasc Economic Outlook Conference, which took place online.
While the average family farm income increased by 6% in 2020, next year is a very different scenario, the agricultural authority warns.
Looking ahead to 2021, no major movements in international agricultural commodity and agricultural input prices are foreseen.
While there have been positive developments with respect to a number of Covid-19 vaccines, further disruption to economic activity due to the pandemic cannot be ruled out, the Teagasc report warns, as the Covid-19 vaccination process "represents a major logistical task that will extend well into the second half of 2021".
Considerable uncertainty exists due to concerns about future EU/UK trade, once the UK's Brexit transition period ends on December 31 of this year. Irish agriculture faces an enormous challenge in 2021 if no post Brexit trade deal emerges.
Tariff disruption
The absence of a trade deal would mean that sizable tariffs would apply to imports, which would have major negative consequences for the extent of EU/UK agricultural trade.
Aside from tariffs, which might be avoided in a trade deal, there will be additional trade costs, such as customs and regulatory checks, which will be inevitable as the UK leaves the single market, it was added.
With the imposition of tariffs, Irish exports to the UK would decline and output prices are projected to fall by almost 20%, 8%, and 7% respectively for cattle, pigs and milk in 2021.
By contrast, Irish lamb prices are projected to rise by 7% in 2021, as the exclusion of UK lamb exports from the EU lamb market would lead to an increase in EU and Irish lamb prices.
International prices for cereals at harvest 2021 are expected to be slightly lower than 2020 harvest prices overall, due to projected increases in supply.
However, given that Ireland is a net importer of cereals, the imposition of tariffs on grain imports from the UK, could offset some of the otherwise negative impact on Irish cereal prices in 2021.
In the absence of a trade deal, the largest income reductions in 2021 would occur on Irish beef farms, where the average income could drop by 40%. The average Irish dairy farm income could drop by 13% in 2021.
Even though Irish lamb prices are expected to increase in 2021, the average sheep farm income would still fall by 4% in 2021, as many sheep farms also have a cattle enterprise which would experience significant losses.
A recovery in cereal yields in 2021 would be sufficient to offset a fall in cereal prices, leaving the average cereal farm income up 3%.
Under this no trade deal outcome, the average family farm income in 2021 would decrease by 18% to €20,200.
It is projected that this would amount to an income reduction in excess of €690 million for the agriculture sector in aggregate in 2021.
This no trade deal Brexit scenario assumes that no additional support is made available to the agriculture sector to address the impact on incomes of the reduction in output prices that would occur.
However, it is likely that additional support would be provided by the EU and the Irish government and the forecast provides an indication of the amount of money that could be required to offset the potential income reductions across the sector, the Teagasc outlook report concludes.

Godwin Emefiele says CBN will continue to collaborate with fiscal authorities to strengthen economic growth
Aderemi Ojekunle
Godwin Emefiele, the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) says the apex bank will continue to collaborate with fiscal authorities to strengthen growth and wealth.
Godwin Emefiele- CBN Governor
The governor stated this after taking an oath of office for the second term of office in Abuja on Monday, June 3, 2019.
He said the CBN will focus on playing an active role in supporting job and wealth creation to support the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which remained fragile and below the rate of annual population growth at 2.7%.
"We must strengthen our efforts over the coming years to stimulate growth and job creation in critical sectors of the economy, which will help insulate our economy from shocks in the global economy.
"We must also work to build a healthy and stable financial system that will contribute to the growth of our economy while preserving price stability," News Agency Of Nigeria (NAN) quoted the CBN governor.
President Muhammadu Buhari and the CBN Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele ece-auto-gen
Emefiele also revealed that he will unfold a new roadmap for the apex bank and the economy, in the days ahead, after a series of consultations with critical stakeholder groups.
In March, at a post- election conference in Lagos, Godwin Emefiele, said the monetary authority will continue to tighten economic policy due to the inflation outlook. He had also said projected that Nigerian economy will grow by 3% in 2019, higher than the 1.93% recorded in 2018 and sees inflation rising to 12% this year before moderating

Pennsylvania's Fetterman makes 2022 US Senate run official
by: MARC LEVY, Associated Press
Posted: Feb 8, 2021 / 12:07 PM EST
Updated: Feb 8, 2021 / 06:52 PM EST
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania's larger-than-life lieutenant governor, the 6-foot-8, bald and tattooed John Fetterman, will run for U.S. Senate, making the announcement Monday afterkicking off an exploratory fundraising campaign last month that raised over $1 million.
It will be the second bid for U.S. Senate by the plainspoken 51-year-old Democrat. He may ultimately see competition from a member of Congress for his party's nomination — U.S. Reps. Brendan Boyle, Chrissy Houlahan and Conor Lamb have all said they are considering running or will take a look at it — in what could become the nation's most competitive Senate race in 2022.
Meanwhile, on the Republican side, a number of names are circulating, including former Trump administration figures. Another possibility is Jeff Bartos, a suburban Philadelphia real estate investor who started running for U.S. Senate before switching horses to become Fetterman's opponent for lieutenant governor in 2018.
The Senate seat in the presidential battleground is being left open after two-term Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey announced in October that he would not run again.
Fetterman is by far the highest-profile name in Pennsylvania politics to show interest in running. He got his start in elective office in 2006 as the mayor of impoverished Braddock, a tiny steel town just outside of Pittsburgh where three-fourths of the residents are Black.
It was there that the Harvard-educated Fetterman became something of a street fighter for progressive values, as well as a minor media star for his work.
"What I bring is a 20-year record of consistency in embracing the same core issues that the Democratic Party has come to embrace," Fetterman said in a recent interview.
In 2010, he was arrested for refusing to leave the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's corporate headquarters in protest over the closing of a hospital in Braddock, a cause that raised broader issues about inequality and the lack of access to health care.
Later, he performed same-sex marriage ceremonies in his home before a federal judge's ruling made it legal in Pennsylvania.
Including his loss in the Democratic primary in 2016's Senate race, he is a veteran of two statewide campaigns, is an ever-present guest on cable news shows and has a huge social media following.
On TV and on Twitter, he has taken on Trump with gusto, aggressively attacking falsehoods about voter fraud peddled by Trump and Republicans after the November election.
Fetterman turns questions about how he himself would fit into the U.S. Senate — he is an adherent to wearing shorts in winter and short-sleeve work shirts whenever possible — into a contrast with lawmakers whose claims of a stolen election helped incite a pro-Trump mob to storm the U.S. Capitol in a deadly attack.
"Here's what I promise to never to do: I promise to never incite a riot on Capitol Hill, I promise to never stand up on the floor of the Senate after I've been driven from it by a bunch of rioters and lie about our election in Pennsylvania," he said.
Considering that kind of disgrace to the Senate, his style "should be the last of our concerns," Fetterman said.
Besides the party's bedrock issues, Fetterman is a fervent advocate for legalizing marijuana, criticizing the war on "a plant" as pointless, counterproductive and disproportionately inflicting criminal records onto Black people.
As lieutenant governor, Fetterman pushed the state pardons board — which he chairs by virtue of the state's second-in-command job — to become a vehicle to right some of the wrongs of decades of excessive sentencing, particularly of minorities.
He also took the issue of legalizing marijuana on the road, holding a public hearing in every county.
Bartos may be next in declaring his candidacy.
In an interview, Bartos said he is seriously considering a run. In the next couple of weeks, he will be calling community, business and party leaders to discuss his possible candidacy, opening a campaign bank account and starting to fundraise, he said. He expects to make a final decision in March.
Bartos, 48, has longtime connections to GOP campaign donors and political elite through his work fundraising for candidates.
He served briefly as the state party's finance chair and, unlike some of his potential rivals for the GOP nomination, he can make a substantial campaign donation to himself.

Psychological harassment at work, or "mobbing," has become a significant public policy issue in Italy and elsewhere in Europe. Mobbing has given rise to specialized counseling clinics, a new field of professional expertise, and new labor laws. For Noelle J. Molé, mobbing is a manifestation of Italy's rapid transition from a highly protectionist to a market-oriented labor regime and a neoliberal state. She analyzes the classification of mobbing as a work-related illness, the deployment of preventive public health programs, the relation of mobbing to gendered work practices, and workers' use of the concept of mobbing to make legal and medical claims, with implications for state policy, labor contracts, and political movements. For many Italian workers, mobbing embodies the social and psychological effects of an economy and a state in transition.

Eventually, she came to love a beautiful Catholic school in Providence, RI and entrusted the kids to the care of the Nashville Dominican sisters. During this time she was still blessed to stay home with her little ones while volunteering extensively in the school. One highlight from this time was writing and directing a play of the story of Our Lady of Guadalupe for the students, teaching them to commit to memory the words of Our Lady to St. Juan Diego, "Do not fear any illness, anxiety, or pain. Am I not here who is your mother? Are you not in the folds of my mantle, in the crossing of my arms? Is there anything else you need?"
In 2016, she moved to Ave Maria with her family and a large group of extended family that included her mom and two siblings! Her six kids all entered Donahue Academy, the youngest in Kindergarten and the oldest as a senior in high school.

Ethan Graham, M.Th.
Freshman Ancient Humanities; Junior Calculus; Senior Modern Humanities and Calculus
Mr. Graham graduated in 1995 from Stanford University with an honors degree in humanities, earnings from tutoring calculus to pre-meds, and a baptismal certificate from his conversion to the Catholic faith. Thus, he is thrilled to be putting these things to good use, teaching both humanities and math in a great Catholic school. Moreover, his religious studies master's degree at Syracuse University (which focused on the work of René Girard) and his Ave Maria University Pastoral Theology Master's Degree (which engaged the rich Catholic tradition within a Thomistic perspective) have cemented a key aspect of his educational philosophy: Truth is naturally desirable, but teachers are important models of desire for the Truth. Another key element of his philosophy is that authentic teaching must imitate the Divine pedagogy: Truth is revealed in stages, respecting the fact that "what is received is received according to the mode of the receiver." Thus, the Catholic classical mission of Donahue (which respects the grammar, logic, and rhetoric "stages" of learning) is magnificently in line with what he sees as an ideal school. Mr. Graham has been a high school teacher for 15 years and has had articles published on St. Augustine, Durkheim, St. John Paul the Great, and high school pedagogy (all exploring the ramifications of the Girardian hermeneutic). At the end of the day, though, his greatest happiness lies in prayer and fulfilling his vocation to family life with his wife, Cassie, and six children: Catherine, Andrew, Lucy, Emily, Matthew and Veronica.

Emma Raducanu ranking: Why her WTA world ranking was so low before US Open and what's happened after her win
Raducanu was world No 345 at the start of 2021 and No 179 after Wimbledon – now she is firmly inside the top 30
By Michael Hincks
Emma Raducanu was outside of the world's top 300 three months ago, but her remarkable victory in the US Open final means she has now moved into the top 30.
The 18-year-old Briton burst onto the scene at Wimbledon when reaching the fourth round, but she reached another level at Flushing Meadows, sealing her first grand slam title without dropping a set.
Raducanu is the first British woman to win a grand slam for 44 years and the youngest from any country since Maria Sharapova in 2004.
Sign up to The Score and get in-depth analysis on all 20 Premier League clubs, every Monday morning
Her Majesty the Queen, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Prime Minister and tennis royalty like Virginia Wade, Tim Henman and Martina Navratilova are among the famous faces to have sent her congratulations after her 6-4 6-3 win over Leylah Fernandez.
Emma Raducanu wins US Open 2021 to make history as first British woman to claim grand slam title in 44 years
Raducanu was the world No 345 at the start of the year, and No 338 come the first round of Wimbledon in July.
She then beat Vitalia Diatchenko, Marketa Vondrousova, and Sorana Cirstea before retiring hurt in her fourth-round match against Ajla Tomljanovic.
That was enough to shoot up to No 179 in the rankings, and after a slight drop she then headed to the US Open ranked No 150 after picking up points when reaching the Chicago Challenger final.
Raducanu came through US Open qualifying without dropping a set, and as she kept winning matches in the main draw, there was half an eye on where she should feature in the next WTA rankings update on 13 September.
At one point breaking into the top 100 looked possible, but after reaching the final she was guaranteed to be at least No 32.
Victory over Fernandez means she will shoot up even higher than that after collecting over 2000 rankings points at Flushing Meadows.
A look at official WTA rankings shows Raducanu has become the world No 23, a jump of 322 places compared to the start of the year, and is the new British No 1.
Emma Raducanu can be the saviour of tennis – so let's not give her the Naomi Osaka treatment
For Fernandez it has been a similarly stunning run to the final, and the 19-year-old, ranked No 73 before the US Open began, has moved up to No 28 after defeat.

Q: Selecting Option on a Javascript dropdown I'm trying to select an option from a dropdown list on a webpage through VBA.
I was able to do it with GetelementbyId like below, because the Options are listed in the HTML code.

First HTML Section:

style="width:262px;">
<option value="yadayada">Yadayada</option>

Although, for another dropdown list I'm not able to do it, I guess because the Options are in a javascript function and not listed in the HTML code. Any thoughts on this?

For years I have dealt with moles in my yard. I hate those little guys. Sneaking around underground, tearing up my yard. I am very tolerant and have a deep respect for wild life, but this is a case of NIMBY (not in MY back yard you little rodent)!
For years I have tried various poisons and other methods to get rid of them and bought a trap a few years ago, but these solutions just didn't seem to work well or were NOT very satisfying.
Then I finally went on YouTube and found a video on how to PROPERLY set a mole trap that I already had. Hell I was doing it all wrong. Then I did a bit more "digging" around to get up to speed on the latest mole elimination technology.
You can Blowing up mole trails using propane/oxygen mix ($1400 kit) or using your car/lawn mower exhaust to kill them with carbon monoxide but I think trapping is the best solution and is a hell of a lot of fun. Makes me feel like a trapper of ole trying to earn a living harvesting mole skins for pharmaceutical conglomerate's blister control products.
I did more mole research on the internet after my first success. Know thy enemy! You know moles live mainly on worms (not grubs) and can tunnel up to 60 feet a DAY. They are very territorial, live a solitary life (like me) and are active year around. I bought two more different style traps (a snare and another pincer type) to test which kind I like the best. This trap is about $30 on Amazon. I don't like it as much as the Victor type trap, as I don't think the trigger is as sensitive to movement in the tunnel as the Victor trap, but it did the job today!
Today I bagged my third one!
This guy's demise added another notch to my trophy wall. I even keep remnants of rotten wood remnants from house remodeling/repair projects on my wall. Ah, memories.
So far I have trapped 13 raccoons, 2 cats (one of which was my own cat), 3 possums (all live releases) and now I can add 3 moles (not so alive release)….
It is SOOOOOO satisfying to trap those little guys. Fun too. Every morning I grab my fresh cup of java, I check my trap line on the way to pick up the papers and look for where they were running at night all with the hope of bagging my next little critter. I must truly have a sad life if trapping moles in the morning gets my blood going.
Too bad I can't eat them. Mole barbecue would make my life complete.
Post script: I was going to let this morning's trophy bio degrade in the yard, but decided to recycle him.
I hope Rusty enjoys his special birthday present!
The hardest part of the install is planning the wiring diagram. I probably spent 12 hrs trying to figure out an acceptable integration of the wires into my plane systems without major rework. What a chore!
After going through 30-40 designs (thank God I love to do Sudoku puzzles), I came up with a simple design with only requires replacement of 2 switches and 2 diodes.
Now I am set! I'll probably start the install on Monday since the temperatures here will be in the 70's.
As I lit my fireplace tonight, before a buddy came over for dinner, I started reflecting how strange it is, I am heating my house with my house. I am burning my house up, a bit at a time!
Check the recycling bin next to the fireplace.
As I do projects most around the house (raising the roof, back deck replacement, front porch, etc) anything which involves wood, I just throw the old wood scraps on to my utility trailer. In the winter, I chop the fuel up with the cordless circular saw and burn it.
Although I am adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere by burning the wood, studies have shown it is no more than what occurs by natural biodegradation. Sadly, my wood will not be layered, compressed for ions, and converted in to crude oil for someone else's pleasure of consumption. Another possibly is it be franked for its natural gas by pumping unknown crap into the rock strata and polluting the environment some millenia in the future. Fracken for gas what a terrible idea for the environment.
NO, I will be a consumer of carbon and use the stored carbon NOW. If there is pollution to be had at some point in time, I want to the one who benefits!
What is funny for me is that EACH piece of wood I touch evokes a memory and tells a story! I flash back to where and when I ripped it off the house, reflect and give honor to this moment in time in which THIS scrap of wood delivers to me the last bit of utility and pleasure it has to offer.
A much nobler purpose then being eaten by microbes…..
This little jewel is from my the side soffit brick detail near the guest bedroom. Took it off when Tony and I were re-roofing the house last winter.
This piece from the front porch rafter. I added new rafters when I repitched the roof. Spent a some time using Autocad to design the porch soffits which saved me LOTS of time trying to figure it out.
This guy is some of the vertical siding on the front porch.
And finally, these very memorable and special boards…. the last of their kind….
These boards which removed during a back porch upgrade. A lot of holes drilled in them to be repurposed as worm composting box ventilation boards. Eventually, after an upgrading the worm box the boards were relegated to the trailer for winter. Now as the last two that exist were being recycled. It was delightful to watch the smoke, flame and light start to dance out of all the holes as this wood begins the ultimate recycling.
In its place another memory has been born….
Red Worm composting. Remembering the Worm Poop Guys selling Worm Tea and Worm Casting at the downtown Charleston Farmers market. Hum, thats, another crazy story for another point in time….

Does God, indeed rather, that man live forever? What type of man would God have live forever? -Man as one with Him! (See John 17) The description of the man of Romans 7:24 is obviously NOT a man united in purpose to the Divine.
What is the "body" that "is dead because of sin"? Isn't it the "body of this death" (vs.24)?
Amen! You are absolutely right, Billie. When one makes a full surrender of the whole heart, they possess eternal life. Jesus said this "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit. One has life when he possesses Christ in the heart. When the heart it converted, then there is a hatred of sin. Do you hate sin, Billie? Do you dislike my Bible? You left out half of Romans 8:1. "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
Many false teachers hate this verse because it is contrary to what they believe and what their experience is. They do not walk in the Spirit, but they claim eternal life "now" in their sin. Such a deception! What do you think, Billie? Is my Bible wrong? Is it untrue that one must walk in the Spirit to have life?
The Lord Jesus loves His people, and when they put their trust in Him, depending wholly upon Him, He strengthens them. He will live through them, giving them the inspiration of His sanctifying Spirit, imparting to the soul a vital transfusion of Himself.—Sabbath School Worker, February 1, 1896.
When the Spirit of God takes possession of the heart, it transforms the life. Sinful thoughts are put away, evil deeds are renounced; love, humility, and peace take the place of anger, envy, and strife. Joy takes the place of sadness, and the countenance reflects the joy of heaven. No one sees the hand that lifts the burden or beholds the light descend from the courts above. The blessing comes when by faith the soul surrenders itself to God. Then that power which no human eye can see, creates a new being in the image of God.
You left out half of Romans 8:1. "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
I find these two translations of Rom 8:1 to be equivalent. "Who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit" is not an additional requirement, but simply a description of what it means to be "in Christ Jesus."
Jesus always did and always will walk after the Spirit, so it is impossible to remain in Him and walk after the flesh. One must choose between Jesus and the flesh.
Amen! Hello Billie, we await your reply. Romans eight is so very clear on this subject. It is impossible to twist one verse amid the first half of the chapter. It makes a clear statement that supports what Jesus said in John chapter three. That which is born of the Spirit is Spirit and that which is born of the flesh is flesh. If we have not His Spirit, we are none of His. But, if we have His Spirit, then we are not under condemnation because we act according to His Spirit. All of the fruits of His Spirit are seen in the life, not one is missing. It is Christ, not I. It is why John said "Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother." 1 John 3:7-10.
It is such a blessing to not have to interpret what is being said. A child may understand when the verses are presented in context instead of just presenting one verse and twisting it. From Genesis to Revelation we see that when we allow Jesus to take possess of the heart, then there is a radical change in the character. The fruit has become beautiful since it comes from a good tree instead of a bad tree.
"For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death."
Free from the law of sin and death, good news because the life that Christ gave is free to all who come, just as we are.
Yes! Impenitent sinners come to Jesus just as they are; their response to the Gospel and Doctrine of Christ is entered into, initially, by a proud heart; however, the Love manifest by God through Christ transforms the soul with it's glory, and nothing else enthralls the attention.
"More than this, Christ changes the heart. He abides in your heart by faith. You are to maintain this connection with Christ by faith and the continual surrender of your will to him; and so long as you do this, he will work in you to will and to do according to his good pleasure. So you may say, 'The life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.' So Jesus said to his disciples, 'It is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.' Then with Christ working in you, you will manifest the same spirit and do the same works,—works of righteousness, obedience."—Steps to Christ, 67, 68.
"The faith essential for salvation is not mere nominal faith, but an abiding principle, deriving vital power from Christ. It will lead the soul to feel the love of Christ to such a degree that the character will be refined, purified, ennobled. This faith in Christ is not merely an impulse, but a power that works by love and purifies the soul. It accomplishes something, bringing the soul under discipline, elevating it from defilement, and bringing it into connection with Christ, till it appropriates his virtue to the soul's need. This is saving faith."—The Review and Herald, August 18, 1891.
The heavenly intelligences will work with the human agent who seeks with determined faith that perfection of character which will reach out to perfection in action. To every one engaged in this work Christ says, I am at your right hand to help you.—Christ's Object Lessons, 332.
As the will of man co-operates with the will of God, it becomes omnipotent. Whatever is to be done at His command, may be accomplished in His strength. All His biddings are enablings.—Christ's Object Lessons, 333.
Does God, indeed NOT rather, that man live forever? What type of man would God have live forever? -Man as one with Him! (See John 17) The description of the man of Romans 7:24 is obviously NOT a man united in purpose to the Divine.
Several other translations exclude the 2nd half of that verse.
Amen! But, Billie, as a Bible teacher we are asking you for the meaning of the verse, not just the blessings.
Let's take the verse in context and break it down into two parts.
2) hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
Share with us what Christ is saying through the Apostle Paul What is "the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus"? And what does it mean to be made "free from the law is sin and death." And we ask that you keep your teaching in harmony with the verses before and after, especially verse 1; "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
That can only be the gospel. Jesus is the "gospel"
Go back to verse one and we see there that those who are in Christ do not come into "judgement". Verse two only clarifies what was said in verse one. Stating that the sinner who comes to Christ is saved, the gospel shown to us again.
We want to be more specific as to what is being said, Billie. What is the "law of sin and death"?
What is "the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus"?
Paul is talking about two laws, or principles of life. It is the context of his teaching in Romans chapters six, seven, and eight. He is presenting to us these important laws of life. One, the law of sin and death, the other the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. They are two different ways of living. One is death, the other is life. As Paul continues in Romans eight, you will see what he is saying. He continues along the same path talking about the need to follow the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. If we walk in the light as Jesus is in the life because we have His Spirit we are not under condemnation. But, if we walk in the flesh, following the law of sin and death, then we are under condemnation.
Billie, how can we tell if we are walking in His Spirit? How can we tell if we are walking in the flesh?
"Billie, how can we tell if we are walking in His Spirit? How can we tell if we are walking in the flesh?"
Even the very best Biblical characters were sinners. Whether ones sins a little bit or to a large degree we are all sinners. All in need of saving grace. So sin does not determine if we are walking in the spirit or not. The very best of us are sinners. In fact Paul said he was the chief of sinners.
Looking at the outward way of life Judas was a fairly decent sort of a guy. They denied their Lord and both were sorry. One came and looked at the cross, the other looked the other way. Both were sorry for their actions. Walking in the spirit is accepting Jesus as ones own Saviour.
... sin does not determine if we are walking in the spirit or not.
The Bible says differently. Consider this verse again: Romans 8:1. "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
There are other verses we could include but these say it plainly enough. The Spirit does not and cannot cohabitate with sin and label someone "in the Spirit" while the lusts of the flesh are in the life.
Have you ever studied the differences in clean and unclean relative to the Spirit? Or holy and unholy?
Billie, it appears you are having a hard time understanding what Paul is teaching. Instead of arguing with you over this one verse, go ahead and tell us verse by verse what Paul means from Romans 8:1-14. We are going to give you the floor to teach what you believe Paul is saying in these verses. Do a very thorough job of explaining each verse, and use Scripture to support your teaching.
Am I getting the right impression that the folk think that the law can be kept by us and we will live a life of sinlessness?
Billie, your ideas are not Biblical. We have given you opportunity to explain what Scripture says, you are not doing very well. You want to argue. We do not. Share with us what Romans 8 is teaching. Your failure to do so, illustrates your failure to understand the foundation of our faith. You live a life out of harmony with God, you do not have the fruits of the Spirit in your life and therefore you want to judge the Bible by your experience and by that which false teachers have taught you. There is no excuse for your unloveliness. An ill temper or dishonesty is not excused by God. Christ died that you might be forgiven and born again of His Spirit. You remain, like Nicodemus in the garden, born of the flesh. You need to be filled with the Spirit of Jesus, then you will manifest the fruits of the Spirit. There is no excuse when Jesus has offered you His Spirit. He promises you a "new heart". Listen to what God said through Ezekiel: "Therefore say unto the house of Israel (God's church), Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went." 36:22. Billie, what does God mean when He says we have profaned His name? He means that we have misrepresented Him with our evil characters. Yes, every time you sin and I sin, we profane God's name in the presence of the world. That does not give glory to God, Billie. You are running around telling everyone that they can not have power to resist sin. That they must sin. No, Billie, that is what you are saying, God does not say it.
2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for [the sins of] the whole world.
When God puts His Spirit within you, Billie, He will cause you to walk in His statutes and you will keep His judgements and do them. Your theology, Billie, is not in harmony with Scripture. We are not taking one verse or two verses out of context. You are fighting against God, not us. You cannot harmonize your few verses you have been taught wrongly with all of the Bible.
Billie, you would change the command of Christ and tell us that none can do what Jesus told the rich young ruler to do. You are wrong, Billie. Christ does not lie. He said, "if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." In other words, if you want to have eternal life, you must obey the commandments. But, you say, "impossible". No, Billie, Jesus is right and you misunderstand. When you sin, you crucify Jesus afresh. You misrepresent Christianity. Jesus loves you and died for you. He will forgive you and cleanse you from all of your unrighteousness. But, the wages of sin is death. If you refuse the cleansing that Jesus offers, you will not enter heaven. I know you have been misled by false teachers, but, Billie, you have a Bible, you have ears to hear. The Holy Spirit is speaking to you right now. Don't push Him away. Let Jesus come into your heart today. Let His grace transform your life. Become a new creature in Christ Jesus. Let the "old man" die and receive all of the fruits of His Spirit. Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. This is the way in which we are to judge who is born of the Spirit and who is not. If you want a few other things that will help, here is who we are told will not enter the kingdom of God. "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." Galatians 5:19-21. You want to excuse those who manifest these sins. You do not think grace has power to transform the life. You have no peace, Billie. There is no peace in a lie. But, there is great peace in the truth.
We can go on and on, Billie. From Genesis to Revelation, God says the same thing. He sent Jesus here to give us peace. He came to not only forgive us, but to change us. He came to live within us, to give us power to love those who hate us. Can you do that, Billie. Can you love the unlovable? That is power, the power of grace. If you can do that, Billie, you can keep the rest of the commandments, through the indwelling Spirit of God. Is it easier to walk on water or to love your enemy? The greatest miracle that God can do is to recreate sinful man in His image. You say no, but God says He will.
"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." 2 Cor. 3:18.

Two years ago, Lemony Snicket, a.k.a. Daniel Handler, published the wacky holiday tale "The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming: A Christmas Story," illustrated by San Francisco graphic designer and author Lisa Brown, Handler's wife. This year, he teams up with Brett Helquist, the illustrator of his 13 "A Series of Unfortunate Events" books, for another offbeat seasonal story, The Lump of Coal (HarperCollins; 32 pages; $12.99; ages 4 and up).
Having no problem giving an inanimate object legs, language, personality and a dilemma, Snicket once again creates an angst-filled hero struggling to get what he wants. The lump of coal wants to be an artist, to draw either black lines on canvas "or, more likely, on a breast of chicken or salmon filet by participating in a barbecue." He gets thrown out of a snobby art gallery and an inauthentic Korean barbecue restaurant before running into a drugstore Santa who puts the coal into the Christmas stocking of his bratty nephew Jasper, another aspiring artist. "I've been wanting to create some abstract art featuring rough, black lines!" Jasper exclaims. "I'd be happy to be of assistance," says the lump of coal.
Jasper becomes a successful artist, and there are more miracles to come. As Snicket writes in the book's opening, "The holiday season is a time for storytelling, and whether you are hearing the story of a candelabra staying lit for more than a week or a baby being born in a barn without proper medical supervision, these stories often feature miracles." It's great that the dry Snicket wit lives on even though the "Unfortunate" series has concluded.
Every year there are new treatments of Clement Moore's classic poem "A Visit From Saint Nicholas," and this year Philip Yates moves it to a pirate ship in A Pirate's Night Before Christmas, illustrated by Sebastia Serra. (Sterling; 32 pages; $14.95; ages 4-8).
'Twas the night before Christmas aboard the Black Shark.
In hopes that Sir Peggedy soon would be thar."
I slid down the mast with me sword to attack it.
I threw off the anchor and shouted, "Avast"!
Hook-handed Sir Peggedy is more scary than jolly, rising out of the sea in a sea-horse-drawn sleigh, dressed in black with his clothes covered in seaweed and eels, but he does bring presents, including the boy's wished-for treasure map. And he "heard him exclaim 'ere he slashed 'neath a star, Merry Christmas, me buckos, an' a Happy New Yaargghhhhhhh!"
We learn what inspired the writing of Moore's original work in 'Twas the Day Before Christmas: The Story of Clement Moore's Beloved Poem by Brenda Seabrook and illustrated by Delana Bettoli (Dutton; 32 pages; $16.99; ages 6-8). Moore's wife sends him out to get a turkey on Christmas Eve 1822, and as he rides in a horse-drawn sleigh across snowy Manhattan Island, he collects images and ideas for a piece he promised he'd write and read to his six children that night.
According to this telling, his driver calls to his horses, "On Dasher! On Dancer!" and a man in his nightcap looks out the window as they pass. Moore thinks of how his excited children will go to bed "dreaming of their favorite things, like sugarplums." He continues to encounter what we know are images in the poem, which he writes and then reads when he gets home. It's a surprisingly captivating story, and gives kids a glimpse of a writer's creative process. The full poem appears at the end.
What Does Mrs. Claus Do? by Kate Wharton, illustrated by Christian Slade (Tricycle Press; 32 pages; $15.99; ages 4 and up) The author imagines all the things Santa's wife might do while he circumnavigates the globe delivering presents on Christmas Eve. Suggestions range from a simple sit by the fire, to hosting the Jingle Bell Ball, with penguin waiters and "off-duty reindeer," to product development with factory elves and a litany of outlandish occupations, including whale rider, sushi chef and Iditarod musher, "acrobat, diplomat, fashion designer,/ spelunker, hoop-dunker, candy cane miner." This list goes on and on, all in rhyme and fancifully illustrated.
In Loren Long's Drummer Boy (Philomel; 32 pages; $17.99; ages 4-8), a toy drummer arrives as a gift in a young boy's living room and then goes on a perilous journey, which starts when he is accidentally knocked into a wastebasket that gets poured into a garbage truck that then unloads at the dump. From there he's picked up by an owl, deposited on a bell tower, blown into a snowdrift, etc., before he's reunited with the boy, who takes him home and adds him to the manger scene on the mantel. The art is dramatic, the adventure intriguing and the spirit warm.

State Orders Cleanup Of Contaminated Soil In Simi Valley's Sage Ranch Park
By Julia Paskin
Published Apr 1, 2022 8:59 AM
A map of the former shooting range indicates areas where contaminated soil will be cleaned up.

The remnants of an old shooting range in the Simi Hills are the latest toxic polluters targeted for removal around the Santa Susana Field Laboratory, formerly known as Rocketdyne.
The Department of Toxic Substances Control has ordered the removal of lead from bullet, skeet, and clay pigeon fragments in the dirt around Sage Ranch Park.
The shooting range operated from the 1970s through the 1990s and was once frequented by Rocketdyne employees.
The contamination has forced the closure of the scenic Loop Trail to public access.

Meanwhile, a state ordered cleanup of the 1959 nuclear meltdown site, now owned by Boeing, remains stalled.
The aerospace company is paying for and planning the toxic soil removal at the shooting range under state supervision, and said in a statement it's "pleased to be moving forward with the cleanup."
Work is scheduled to start in August and the hope is for hikers to be able to return to the area by early next year.

A snowy December night, Damien and Nathan were, as usual, hanging out at Nathan's place. Usually they would be with Brooke and the newest part of the group, Matthew but unfortunately both couldn't go to the hang out because Brooke had to deal with some family matters and Matthew was ill from all the snow outside. Even though Brooke and Matt couldn't come, that wasn't going to stop Nate and Damien from hanging out by themselves.
make fun of other students and occasionally fight with them. He would pull pranks on them, even on teachers sometimes. Ricky, standing 6 feet tall, didn't only sound like the part of bully, but also looked the part. Although he was baby faced, he rocked a neat undercut with a short ponytail on the back.
again. Because at every party there would always be this one girl who just stays at one place. She's cute, she's hot but she always turns down every guy she meets. Although she always looks like she's looking for someone.
Derick was at his dorm watching tv, wearing only a pair of boxers, he sat down on the bottom bed of the double decker.
The Bell rang and everyone was dismissed, inside the classroom of the STEM students was a young man named Nathan. Nathan was a fair looking kid, tall, dark brown hair, blue eyes. He's 'that one average guy' inside the class. He sometimes gets bullied by this one dude named Matt but only when He's in the mood to pick with anyone he sees.

Not long ago, corporations seeking tax abatement in Jefferson County for major projects faced discussion and negotiation from elected officials. That approach seems to have ended, as shown by the generous abatement terms quickly approved by Jefferson County commissioners for the $5.6 billion Port Arthur LNG project.
The commissioners went all the way, approving 10 years of abatement at 100 percent for Sempra Energy. There was apparently no consideration for lesser terms, such as five years for a sliding percentage of abatement. Again, agreements like that were once common in the county.
The reason is that in Jefferson County, and across the country, corporations seem to feel they hold all the cards. They know that if they pit one region against another in a bidding war for tax abatement, the years and percentages available to them will rapidly increase. The state of Louisiana, for example, will offer 10 years and 100 percent for many major projects, almost automatically.
The flip side of this debate played out recently in Orange County, where former county judge Dean Crooks was hesitant to offer Chevron Phillips maximum abatement for a proposed $6 billion ethylene project. Crooks was forced out, and the remaining commissioners made it clear to the company that the 500 jobs from that expansion would be very welcome in Orange County.
County residents and business owners watching all this undoubtedly have mixed emotions. They, too, like the permanent and construction jobs these projects bring, but they don't receive tax abatement for their property. They pay full value, and they remember when abatement was an incentive, designed to lure companies here, not a routine part of any big agreement.
The only real way to control this process would be with state or federal legislation that limited tax abatement — to something like 5 years maximum. In Texas, the provision of the tax code that allows abatement by local governments will expire in September. Yet legislators know that any limits they put in place will not be matched in states like Louisiana and Mississippi. A federal standard would solve that problem, but nothing like that is being discussed in Congress.
So for the near future, taxpayers in Southeast Texas will probably see more abatement deals like this. The jobs will come right away, but the tax payments will be delayed. It's not the worst arrangement, but it could be better.
