For a good portion of my life I have been acquainted with the observation that "age does not always imply wisdom." However, I believe that most would agree that true wisdom only comes to one as he grows older. By this I mean that one, in order to gain the kind of wisdom of which I speak, must have lived long enough to have experienced the overall living of life, having experienced both the good and the bad. Having done this, if he is an astute person, he will know how to separate the wheat from the chaff.
With these remarks behind us, I intend to discuss some things that go on in some churches of the Lord that need not be, and somethings that must not be, especially as they relate to the elders and the preacher.
A congregation which has men meeting every qualification given by the Holy Spirit through the apostle Paul should and must appoint such men to the work of an elder. For a church to fail or refuse to do this is indicative of the fact that it is not operating in harmony with the Scriptures.
Paul left Titus in Crete to "set in order the things that were lacking" (Titus 1:5). The churches on the island had appointed no elders, one of those things that evidently was lacking. Paul's instruction to Titus was that he should take care of this matter and "appoint elders in every city." Paul states that these men who compose the eldership must have enough knowledge to detect a false teacher and his teaching. They must also have enough love for God and for the souls under their care to "stop the mouths of the gainsayers" (Titus 1:9). It is their grave responsibility to feed, nourish, lead, protect, and defend from all false teachers and their teaching, the precious souls of all those whom they oversee.
Yet, many of those who have preached for fifty years or more, and have served in several different churches during those years, have witnessed elders, and sometimes the entire eldership, who have been much more interested in attendance numbers and bank account figures than they have been in spiritual growth of the members of the church they are serving. Even though elders do have the responsibility to see that such things are taken care of, it should be noted that God has made available to them those special servants (deacons) to attend to these matters. The Scriptures do not teach or command that the elders are to spend the major portion of their time with things concerning the church building and grounds.
Elders have an important and specific work to do and they are not authorized to assign this work to others, the preacher included. First, even though wisdom would dictate that the elders listen to and consider any comments made by the members about the choice of a preacher they may be considering for the local work the final decision must be that of the elders. They must choose a man (male gender – a female will never be considered by an eldership that loves and obeys the Lord.), who is sound in the faith, and a man whose morals, and the morals of his family, correspond to the teaching of the Scriptures.
These men must also understand that they are not inviting a man to work with the church for him to do their work for them. They must also understand that the man whom they are considering should not be expected to simply be a "go-for" for the membership. The one thing which they must demand of the preacher is that he "Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching" (2 Timothy 4:2).
To illustrate this point; several years ago in a city where I was preaching there was a rather large congregation located across town. When its preacher left for another work the elders compiled a list of fourteen duties which any applicant for the work would be expected to accept and fulfill. I obtained a copy of that list. In that list of duties were some good things, some somewhat silly things, and some ridiculous things. Yet, in all of those items, there was not one requirement that the man must be able to preach. This was a sad situation.
Second, the elders must insist that the preacher do the work of a preacher then give him the time to do this work. They must not be hesitant in telling him what they expect. Scriptural elders want the "whole counsel of God" taught. They must realize that they have no right to forbid him from preaching on certain biblical subjects, as did an eldership with whom I interviewed several years ago. I was invited to accept the work on the condition that I would not be allowed to preach on: 1) The different translations; 2) Marriage – Divorce – Remarriage; 3) The work of the Holy Spirit, especially how He did His work. Needless to say, I did not accept that work.
When the preacher fails in his obligation to preach the whole counsel, and begins to ride some kind of hobby or just gets lazy and/or indifferent to his work, the elders must attempt to guide him back to his work. If he continues in his indifference, or if he insists on preaching constantly on his "hobby," he should be dismissed regardless how likeable he may be to the members or how "good" he seems to be with the young people.
First and foremost, the preacher's work is to preach. In order for him to do this he must prepare. For several years I have taught a course in a school of preaching in India on First and Second Timothy, and Titus. I firmly believe that all such preacher students should be soundly indoctrinated in both the importance of learning how to preach, and how to prepare themselves for this most rewarding work. I especially emphasize 1 Timothy 4:6-16.
A warning: Regardless of how much knowledge a young man receives in college or a preacher training school, he neither possesses the wisdom, nor the experience to accept the position (work) of an elder. He must remember that it is not his duty to go to any given congregation and immediately "appoint" elders. Nor is it his work to "get rid of the elders" because he believes himself to be more qualified to know who should or should not be elders.
May it ever be faithfully preached and lovingly obeyed!

"Don't take technology too seriously - it is people who are using the technology and need to make sense out of it"
A report from the 1st M-Enabling Forum Europe, 27 September 2018, Düsseldorf
As much as technology is our beacon of hope to give people with disabilities equal access to society, we must not forget that it will always be only a helper or facilitator and not the solution in and of itself. The title statement by Dr. Thomas Kahlisch, board member of the German Association for Blind and Visual Impaired (DBSV), added an important dimension to the discussions at the 1stM-Enabling Forum Europe, which assembled 100 accessibility experts in Düsseldorf.
Policy ambitions and the reality on the ground
Representatives of the European Commission gave updates on the status of Europe's efforts to create a binding legal framework for ICT accessibility in the form of the European Accessibility Act (EAA). Once the European Parliament and European Council agree on the final content and wording of the text, the EAA will introduce obligations for the private sector, mainly for ICT products and services, and strengthen the accessibility requirements in public procurement already in force. After the adoption of the EAA, which is expected for the end of this year, countries will have two years for transposing the requirements into national law, followed by a four year implementation period.
Going by the outcome of a survey presented by Yuval Wagner, founder and president of Access Israel, legislation such as the EAA will be important. Access Israel carried out a survey among more than 500 persons with disabilities in Israel. 56% stated that their N°1 issue is a lack of accessibility, and for 64% out of these it was a lack of accessibility in ICT.
On the other hand, we have today a plethora of accessibility features in mainstream devices, dedicated apps and accessibility services which in theory could ensure seamless access to information and communication for everyone. The panel about "Innovative apps, products and services for independent living" for example painted the picture of an entirely accessible mobile ecosystem, starting with a central source of information – the GARI database with information on the accessibility features in over 1,500 devices – passing by accessible devices such as Apple's who was also on the panel, and freely available apps specifically designed for accessibility such as Speech Code, another panelist. To finish with, assistive technology and services like sign language relays for phone calls can supplement these accessibility features.
Where is the disconnect?
It would seem that our stumbling block is well targeted communication. While all attendees to the Forum are clear on the need, importance and availability of accessible solutions, we need to get better in reaching those user groups who have never heard of accessibility and those who are reluctant in using new technologies all together.
"This future is all about technology", said one of the attendees. "The big question is, can digital accessibility solve the physical and social accessibility?"
For one, we do have the amazing opportunity of making technology accessible from day 1 and avoid being pushed into a retro-fit mode in which we find ourselves today in trying to make the physical world accessible. Ensuring that ICTs are accessible has the potential of reducing the gap for persons with disabilities and also saving a lot of money.
However, tackling accessibility from the technical side alone will not suffice. We need to raise awareness and we need a system that provides consulting and guidance to companies and hands-on training for persons with disabilities. Or to put it in Dr. Kahlisch's words: We need to help people make sense out of the technology and help them understand how using the technology is relevant to them in their individual situation.

Fixing pensions won't come through stock market gains. Pensions are in trouble because the amount owed to retirees is compounding faster than any returns a pension plan could earn in the stock market, or any market. An article in the Wall Street Journal spells out the story.
From the article, the state of Maine has roughly 51,000 workers on the rolls, but the number of folks receiving a pension in the last ten years has swelled from 34,000 to about 45,000. These pension obligations are promises which cannot be kept as-is. That spells trouble for the future. This pension problem has been known for a long period of time. But "kicking the can" down the road cannot continue much longer.
And that means folks who are "expecting" a pension in the future, better start thinking of a scenario where the "terms of the deal" may change.
The markets may have bailed out pensions in years gone by. But it's unsafe (and not prudent) for pension managers to assume they will continue to earn high returns. This puts managers of these pension plans in a position of taking much higher risks. Is taking higher risks really the right course? The stock market cannot be fixing pensions built with poor funding, or poor planning.
Worse, people are opposed to changes that need to occur to make pensions work. It's frightening what is unfolding, like a slow-motion car wreck.
"…deeper cuts often met resistance from judges, unions and angry constituents—even in some of the most indebted states.
In some cases, there seems to be a choice to make changes (including cuts) to make pension plans work. Eventually there may be a day where there won't be any choice.
This should be a stark reminder for pension plan managers and individual investors. The stock market may help you keep up with inflation. But the market won't likely bail you out of a bad financial situation.

You've just written your 16th press release of the week, and another six are waiting in your queue. The only thing you want to do is slam your laptop shut, send the kids off to Grandma's and order take-out, but not before booking a seven-day cruise for yourself to get away for awhile.
Make taking time out nonnegotiable. Growing up, my parents never allowed anyone in the family to work or have outside activities on Sundays; it was a day for family and rest. I never thought much of it, but as a busy parent, I now see how wise they were. Channeling my childhood, I've now declared that all of Sunday be used as a day off for my family.
Delegate what you can. Think about it, our work depends on people delegating their work to us, so why shouldn't we do the same? When I began thinking of all the hats I wear–15 at last count–I realized that I don't have to try and do it all. So I handed my "gardener" and "grocery shopper" hats over to my husband, and freed up a few hours a week so I can exercise and read for pleasure.
Get rid of problem clients. We've all got them; they're demanding or pay poorly or expect us to read their mind. If you've never let go of a client before, its a little nerve wracking at first–especially if you're counting on the income from them–but you'll feel liberated afterwards. Embrace an abundance mentality, and you'll find that there's plenty of work out there waiting for you. I let a super-reliable one go, but my income hasn't suffered a bit.
Leave the house regularly. Being stuck in the house and tied to the computer eight or more hours a day can bring on a serious cause of burnout. Schedule a coffee date with a friend so you can catch up on the world outside of your four walls. Pack up your laptop and head to the bookstore or library once a week. A bit of socialization and a different environment will stimulate your mind and you may have a spark of brilliance while people-watching between writing all those press releases.
Soak up the sun- Many people have a vitamin D deficiency, which may be linked to depression and moodiness, among other health-related problems. Make it a habit to step outside for 15-20 minutes, around noon when the sun is at its highest, so you can absorb some liquid gold, boost your immunity and raise your spirits.
These are a few of the things that I've been doing to help beat burnout, and I'd love to know what works for you. Tell us in the comments!

Explorations in human potential
"It is unethical to have a talent system based on the luck of the draw of when you were born"
Adam Kelly is a Senior Lecturer and the Course Leader for Sports Coaching and Physical Education at Birmingham City University. He consults with international institutions and organisations in a number of professional sports, including football, rugby union, cricket, swimming, squash, and ice hockey.
In this conversation Adam and I explore the latest research into a range of more equitable talent development and competition frameworks that recognise the 'non linear' nature of talent development and allow for more individualised development opportunities for young athletes.
We discuss the relative merits of 'Birthday Banding' , Bio Banding', 'Average Team Age' and 'Playing Up/Down' approaches.

"We don't rate human worth by whether or not you are any good at kicking a ball!"
Sometimes the stars align and the article you have just published speaks perfectly to the next guest you booked on your podcast.
As a perfect alternative to what we read about in my post about 'The Lamentable Lemmings of Talent Development' we are introduced to this brilliant case study of a club that has decided not to throw itself off the cliff in the race to the bottom but to do it differently...
This weeks episode I speak to Martin Erikstad who is a researcher at the Department of Public Health, Sport and Nutrition, Universitetet i Agder in Norway. Martin has just published a fascinating case study about a football club called FK Bryne which is in a small city of 12,000 people in North West Norway. The club is probably best defined as a 'talent hotbed'.... the club motto is "We will enjoy football, cultivate talent and perform miracles".
The study follows the journey of a team of young players that included Erling Haaland (the young super star striker that plays for Borussia Dortmund and has been linked with every top club in Europe) and their coach and the remarkable environment which was created which led to amazing outcomes in terms of retention, progression and personal growth of the young players. The study looks at the way that the group developed through the lens of a theoretical approach to participant development which is developed by Jean Cote and colleagues which is called the 'Personal Assets Framework'. In this story we we how the coaching team focussed on a player led, games based approach to foster participation combined with a strong emphasis on personal development of the individuals and the group which led to performance in the long terms.
It is a great example of how a genuine child centred approach which places the voices of young people at the centre of the experience and provides them with an environment that is developmentally appropriate and supportive can not only retain young people in sport but also help more of them to thrive and progress. This is a particularly important message at a time when the world of youth sport is becoming more and more hyper competitive, adult driven and children are being commodified. It is an important counter narrative that shows that things can be done differently, the performance narrative does not have to dominate everything and the 'talent needs trauma' messaging can be seriously questioned.
At a time when sport is being challenged by horrific stories of abuse, bullying and dehumanising behaviour by coaches and officials it is a beacon of hope that points to an alternative conceptualisation of how developmental environments are shaped. I urge you to listen to the podcast and also read the article and share it with others is a great story and one that more people need to hear about.
The lamentable lemmings of talent development
This is one of those posts that is probably going to get me into trouble..

Bias Incident Statement
by Fordham USG | Nov 2, 2018 | News, Statements | 0 comments
To our fellow members of the Fordham Community,
We, the members of the United Student Government, want to take a minute and reflect upon the bias incidents that were committed on the Rose Hill campus last week, in light of the deadly hate crimes that targeted Jewish, immigrant, and Black communities around the country over the weekend.
We condemn the actions of students who drew a swastika and wrote hateful racial slurs on desks and tables around campus. As a Jesuit institution, Fordham strives to uphold the dignity and uniqueness of each person and provide students with a formative education that teaches us to become "men and women, for and with others." These bias incidents counter the mission of the University and damage Fordham's sense of community. We will not tolerate hateful sentiments to exist within the Rose Hill campus and beyond Fordham's gates.
But, our words and sentiments condemning these bias incidents are not enough.
In his eulogy for the children killed in the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church bombing, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. urged the congregation to "be concerned not merely about who murdered them, but about the system, the way of life, the philosophy which produced the murderers."
In light of the bias incidents that were committed on campus, as well as the deadly shootings in both Pittsburgh and Jeffersontown, Dr. King's words challenge us as a Fordham community to examine the root causes of hatred and racism. Dr. King calls us to reflect upon the factors that have allowed for hatred expressed toward Jewish, immigrant, and Black communities to fester among individuals both at Fordham and throughout the country.
This also requires us as a Fordham community to be critical of ourselves. We need to reflect on the instances in which we have fallen complacent to the issues of racism and anti-Semitism on campus. Until we can look at ourselves as a University through a critical lens and address areas where we have been apathetic to these issues, bias incidents like the ones committed last week will continue to occur on campus.
We need to work harder in our initiative to ensure that the Fordham community is a more diverse, inclusive, and loving community for all.

Q: Javascript Date object funny behavior with .toLocaleDateString() Sorry if this is a newbie question...  I have this working correctly:
let date = new Date(2021, 0, 12);
dates = [];
for (let i = 0; i < 30; i++) {
  date.setDate(date.getDate() + 1);
  const dateString = date.toLocaleDateString();
  dates.push(dateString);
}
console.log(dates);

All good.  But without the new variable 'dateString', I see a funny behavior I don't quite understand.  Initially I tried to do:
let date = new Date(2021, 0, 12);
let dates = [];
for (let i = 0; i < 30; i++) {
  date.setDate(date.getDate() + 1);
  date = date.toLocaleDateString(); // change same var instead of new var
  dates.push(date);
}
console.log(dates);

This throws the following error: TypeError: date.getDate is not a function.  Why should the behavior of the date object change in reverse?

David greatly enjoyed driving truck throughout his professional career that began at the former Stone Container and has spanned more than 17 years with Nichols Bakery. He was a member of the General Truck Drivers & Helpers Union Local No. 92. He was also the proud recipient of an award for driving 1 million miles with no citations or accidents.
David greatly enjoyed his Cobra Mustang, taking it out for drives on nice days or just polishing it and keeping it in top condition.
Most importantly, he loved his family deeply and always enjoyed being with them. On August 8, 1966, he married the former Carolyn L. Morgan. The couple celebrated 52 years of marriage this past August. He was also blessed with the birth of his children, David (Robin) Jr. of Uhrichsville and Laura "Lori" Fox Harding of Dennison.

Visitation will be held in the Geib Funeral Center at Dover on Tuesday, September 11, 2018 from 4 to 7 PM. Military honors will be rendered at a public graveside service in Dover Burial Park on Wednesday, September 12, 2018 at 10:30 AM.
Memorial contributions in David's memory may be directed to Community Hospice, 716 Commercial Ave. SW, New Philadelphia, OH 44663.


There were pros and cons to growing up in a health food household. The pros were obvious—eating seasonally from the garden, picking our own rhubarb for rhubarb pies, and very few cavities. But then there were school lunches. I ate my almond butter sandwiches and organic fruit leather with the weight of the world on my shoulders, watching enviously as other kids unrolled their fruit-by-the-foot and plunged little straws into their Capri Suns.
And then there was the issue of the fridge. My mom, years ahead of her time, forbade any food storage methods other than waxed paper, tin foil, and repurposed yogurt containers. You'd reach in to grab some yogurt, open the lid, and jump about a foot at the sight of leftover lentils. Still to this day I open yogurt containers with considerable trepidation.
But beyond the visceral shock of seeing brown legumes when I expected to see white yogurt, leftover lentils have always been one of my favorite snacks. (Anyone else a fan of cold beans? Just me?) I love the way my mom prepares them, sometimes adding carrots and celery, sometimes throwing in bacon or sausage for depth, and I regularly (if cautiously) peruse her fridge, hoping to find leftovers.
I finally got around to asking how she works her magic, and ever since learning this method, lentils have become my favorite base for weeknight meals. They may not be glamorous or photogenic, but prepared this way, lentils become rich, nourishing, and infinitely adaptable.
Simply simmer the dry lentils in water with a few bay leaves until they're just tender, then create a base of garlic, onions, smoked paprika, and tomato paste, add the lentils back in, and simmer with a splash of chicken broth until fragrantly delicious. The result? Bold. Hearty. Smoky. Umami. Beautiful.
Eat them plain with a swirl of greek yogurt, add them to a wrap with leafy greens, use them in a grain bowl topped with a runny fried egg, put them on toast with goat cheese, or toss them in a salad with your favorite vinaigrette.
Rich, wholesome, and smoky, these lentils are the perfect base for your weeknight dinners. Try them with a swirl of greek yogurt, add them to a wrap with leafy greens, use them in a grain bowl topped with a runny fried egg, or put them on toast with goat cheese.
Place lentils in a large pot and cover with water. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, the bay leaves, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer and cook on medium low for about 30 minutes, or until lentils are tender but not mushy. Remove from heat and set aside, without draining.
In a medium skillet over medium high heat, add remaining 2 tbsp of olive oil and heat until runny. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, or until onion is translucent and beginning to brown.
Add the tomato paste, the smoked paprika, and the chicken or vegetable stock, and cook, stirring frequently until the liquid has evaporated.
Add the cooked lentils to the skillet, along with any remaining cooking liquid. (If there's no cooking liquid remaining, don' worry--just add an additional 1/2 cup or so of stock!) Cook at a steady simmer for 25-30 more minutes, stirring occasionally and adding more salt/paprika to taste.
So, before I cook lentils today, your prompt a good reminder, I have much shoveling to do- raking the roof takes focus. I loved your description of school lunch. In High School while the others ate chicken fried steak (is this food?) I had my lunch from home; pumpernickel w/ farmer's cheese and roasted squash seeds. YES- everybody watching- fascinated.
Thanks for the inspiration, Grace! I just finished my lentil lunch after two hours of shoveling. Nice to know the lentils are simmering while you are shoveling. I did not have bay leaves (!) I used curry leaves and celery seed. No tomato paste so used fancy catsup. No chicken broth ( ! ) used good vegetable bullion. Used s soft cheese in olive oil to mix in. FANTASTIC!!

The World's Tallest Trees Make a Giant Leap

If you'd want to drink it, eat it, wear it, ride it, drive it; if it'd be cool to see, listen to or do, we're writing about it.
Because everyone needs safe arbor.

I smelled it before I saw it. There's a certain scent that redwood trees have after a rainstorm that Northern Californians know, probably because in Northern California it has always just rained (unless it's just about to rain or currently raining or a four-year drought is in effect). There I was in the garden of Leonardo da Vinci's château in France's Loire Valley, thousands of miles from the redwood forest, when I smelled the tree. Then — and I apologize for this — I hugged it.
It was like going to base camp at Mount Everest to find that your childhood best friend just happens to be there too.
Every small town has something special — the best 72-ounce steaks, the best garlic-flavored ice cream, a population of feral wallabies — but the something special of Arcata, California, is better than everywhere else's: giant redwood trees, the tallest living things on Earth. They grow only in the Pacific Northwest, and nowhere else. Or so I thought, until I was hugging a tree in Leonardo da Vinci's garden. It was the first redwood tree I'd seen in three years, since moving to Europe. It was like going to base camp at Mount Everest to find that your childhood best friend just happens to be there too. It turns out that redwoods can grow outside of California — in France, in the U.K., in Switzerland. There is even a small forest of them, planted by environmental activists this past March, at Cornwall's Eden Project forest.
The 40 Sequoia sempervirens saplings, which took two years to get OK'd by U.K. agricultural authorities, were cloned from the Fieldbrook stump, a Northern California landmark that's, well, a stump, 35 feet wide, of a tree more than 3,000 years old when it was logged in the late 19th century. The breeding stock is important, explains David Milarch of the Archangel Ancient Tree Archive, the nonprofit responsible for the tree cloning that makes these new forests possible, because you want the truly old trees, the best trees, to create new redwood groves. Redwoods grow better in France than in California these days, Milarch says, because France is cooler and isn't stricken by drought. One of Milarch's personal goals is to plant a redwood grove on the beaches of Normandy as a memorial to D-Day's dead.
"The endgame is to repair what we've destroyed," Milarch says. "Who's gonna wait 2,000 years for a redwood forest to come back, except us?"
Well, me, I suppose.

Given a local frame $(z^1,\dots,z^n)$ with $z^j = x^j + \mathrm{i}y^j$, is this enough to define a Wirtinger calculus which behaves as if $E$ were the tangent bundle? Namely, for a function $f: M \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ can $\overline{\partial}_E f$ be then locally expressed as $\sum_j \left(\frac{\partial f}{\partial x^j} + \mathrm{i}\frac{\partial f}{\partial y^j}\right)\mathrm{d}\overline{z}^j$, and is there an analogous operator $\partial_E$ such that $\partial_E +\overline{\partial}_E$ is the complex deRham differential?

The Lua Project has been called a 'cultural pollinator', and was formed by David Berzonsky and Estela Knott after they returned to Virginia to raise children after almost a decade of travelling, performing, and recording, throughout the Western hemisphere, in places as far afield as Lima, Peru, Veracruz, Mexico, Recife, Brazil, and Berkeley, Ca.
In so doing, they have found musical adventure and a diverse cross-cultural experience right here in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains where the backdrop of life in a multi-ethnic community serves as a wellspring from which Lua Project draws subject matter and inspiration, which is then blended into a music that it describes as Mexilachian.
With an artistic commitment to go deep inside their own families' cultural roots, they meticulously thread together the narrative of their history— Appalachian, Mexican, Jewish— into a completely original yet seamless journey through styles and centuries. They write gorgeous melodies, punctuated by Estela's soaring voice and the band's complex and subtle arrangements.
The stories they tell— of bonds both familial and communal, and the intoxicating natural beauty of their homeland in the Virginia foothills, are refreshing, disarming, joyous, and haunting. The current lineup features Matty Metcalfe and Christen Hubbard, two limitlessly talented and utterly authentic musical co-conspirators, who have travelled widely but have settled deeply in the shadow of the Blue Ridge. They are emerging masters of Appalachian fiddle tunes, Irish music, Argentinian tango. The Lua Project's shows are engaging, soulful, celebratory, and captivating. They are truly blazing their own musical trail, filled with surprises and wonder. And they represent the best of a new breed of Virginia artists, grounded in tradition, yet with a syncretic musical intelligence that beckons the whole world into their musical village— to build bridges across cultures and pathways into the human soul.
Cultural Crossroads: A Musical Journey through Mexilachia- 45 minutes-1 hour: bi-lingual assembly for high schools and colleges, includes musical performance and discussion of Appalachian and Mexican culture, song, and poetry. An excellent way to expose your students to Spanish language performance. Can also provide workshops and residencies. Contact artist for details.
Gathering Musical Goodness for the Global Village, The songs and stories of Mexilachia— A bi-lingual journey into Spanish language music for younger children, elementary, and middle school students; focus on songs and stories, and an introduction to Mexican and Appalachian music, instruments and dance.
David Bearinger (Virginia Humanities) Dave and Estela's work builds bridges and a sense of unity among diverse peoples. Their performances are energetic and uplifting. Their interpretations of various musical traditions are superb, like the original music they perform. And they are both skilled at working with a wide range of audiences, in both school and community settings.
Gwen Armstrong (Spanish teacher, Luray HS) The students learned about the fusion of music and instruments with a blend of English, Spanish, Appalachian, and Jewish traditions, and customs.
David Docken (Choir director, JEJ Moore MS) Their ability to act as primary sources for these students to learn about Mexican culture and how it has integrated with Appalachian living was truly fascinating and captivating for the students.
In a time of needing more diversity and social justice education in our schools, I would like to invite The Lua Project back to help continue to spread the narrative of Mexican influence in our culture.
Amy Azano (Professor of rural education, Virginia Tech)-- As cultural organizers, teachers, and musicians, they are committed to telling the untold stories of immigrants in the Shenandoah valley.
Terri Allard (Host, PBS' Charlottesville Inside Out)— tapping into the rich and deeply rooted music of Estela's childhood--regional and traditional music from Mexico and Appalachia--Lua Project succeeds in bringing together music and people of different cultures.

Q: SQL Syntax error with multiple sub query joins Please help!
I'm getting syntax errors on part of my query and can't figure out what's wrong. Intellisense doesn't work on the database I'm using. I have tried to enclose the sub-queries with brackets but this still throws up a syntax error. Can anyone spot the problem please? I assume it's a missing bracket or something but I have been unable to find anything on the syntax of subqueries.
Note that what I'm trying to do is to convert an existing MS Access report into SQL which is proving quite difficult due to the sheer amount of queries embedded into each other to produce the data. Anything prepended with 'qry' is a reference to something in Access. This query is against a database used to track staff entry/exit from doors and is used for attendance reporting. Unfortunately as it's not an in-house system I don't have access to the database schema so am struggling to build a query myself. I can post the full thing but without context it may not make much sense? For now I will post part of the query.
The errors I'm getting:
>Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 21
>Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'RIGHT'.
>Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 27
>Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'RIGHT'.
>Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 34
