Our theme Bible passage in our study together has been Revelation Chapter 14 in verse 4 where the Bible gives one of the characteristics of the 144000 those who are live on Earth before Jesus comes back there are many characteristics of these people but the Bible tells us specifically that they are people who follow the lamb wherever he goes it doesn't matter where the lamb ends up if it's in times of peace and prosperity if it's in times of challenges and difficulty the 144000 are close behind the LEM as they follow him wherever he leads now as we've been studying together we have all made the decision that we want to be part of this group Amen and the Bible or the Spirit of Prophecy tells in the review and herald 812898 we need not wait till we are translated to follow Christ God's people may do this here below we shall follow the Lamb of God in the courts above only if we follow him here. It is our privilege as God's children to be able to follow the lead here on this earth in this time of Earth's history and indeed if we want to follow him in the courts of heaven above we must do so here below 1st and the question is am I willing to follow the lamb wherever he may lead me in our last study together we conclude it by looking at one thing that sustained Jesus as he went through this dark hour in his life we looked at how Jesus went through the garden of get 70 we found that as Jesus went into the garden he went in depressed he went in with great anxiety he went in struggling he went in resisting what the father's will was in a sense praying that the Father's will would be for the cup to pass and as he went through the time of prayer surrendering his will to the will of the father he went into the garden depressed and challenge he came out of the garden with that depression lifted and calm and serene and ready to meet the devil's fury in a sense everything turned in that prayer in the garden and I'm so thankful that Jesus stopped and had that prayer before the trial began as we concluded our study together in our last study 2 weeks ago we found that one of the things that sustained Jesus during that dark hour was that he knew his father. What did he do he knew his father he had 33 years of walking and talking with his heavenly father he knew his father so well and he knew his father's will so well that although all of this terrible stuff was happening in his life although the storm of opposition had broken upon him even though he was being cruelly treated by the mob even though he was betrayed by one of his closest friends even though religious leaders were mistreating him all of this stuff was taking place he knew his father so well that it did not drive him to let go of his hold on his father's In fact that we read in the Bible together in the Gospel of John John Chapter 17 verse 3 where the Bible says and this is life eternal that they might know the past. And this is life eternal that they might know the the only true God What is life eternal What is it knowing God We read in Daniel Chapter 11 how the Bible tells us that those who went through the hour of great trial religious persecution during the 1260 years of papal persecution that those people had power because they knew gone what was it that sustained Jesus during the time of his great trial what was it that the sustained the great saints of the Reformation that that sustain them during their time of trial as well what was it that sustained these great men and women and Christ Himself was that they had an intimate knowledge of their Heavenly Father. And it's the same thing that will take place in the crisis that the close those who will stand during this time of great trial will know their heavenly father intimately it's not a knowledge that you will acquire in the time of trial it's not a knowledge that you will gain once you are in the crisis but it's a knowledge that we must gain now and develop now so that it sustains us when that hour of crisis comes but for some of us we're too busy with the cares of life to invest in a knowledge that will see us through to the kingdom of heaven it's time for us to reorganize our priorities because life eternal is in knowing our Heavenly Father we also discussed how God allows these trials and difficulties to come upon us because he allows it to happen for a demonstration to the world that there are people in the world who are faithful to God no matter what there are people in the world who are faithful like Job was faithful to God Though He slay me yet shall I trust him that there will be people in this world who will go contrary to the Devil's accusations in the great controversy that they will stand in the midst of trial telling the world that God is Just and willing rather that he should be served even though the devil is saying something quite the opposite I will tells the 1st Corinthians Chapter 4 verse 9 that we are made a spectacle unto the world and to angels and to men as I made a spectacle I want the spectacle to be that others see Jesus in me important concept to get into our mind because when that trial hour of trial and difficulty comes we need to know why God allows these things to take place otherwise we may be tempted to let go of our father's. We're in the midst of 6 trials that are taking place in the life of Jesus we've looked at 2 already there were 3 chiles that were religious those 3 trials the verdict was all guilty there were 3 trials that were civil under the Roman government and the verdict of all 3 of those trials was innocent and so we're in the midst of this we've looked at 2 trials already to religious trials and in both of those trials the verdict was guilty this morning we will look at the 3rd trial same verdict and the 1st of the civil trials as Jesus stands before a pilot for the 1st time in our last study we've seen how Jesus stood before and as the X. I priest a great man who is respected by the religious community but was unable to secure what was needed for the condemnation of Jesus he was then hurried off to stand before K.-I offis and as Jesus stood before K. IAFIS as Jesus stood before the promiscuous crowd that was in K.I.I. of this is Palace all of them were compelled that this man was the Son of God They were convicted by the power of the Holy Spirit but they pushed that conviction to the side and condemned Jesus as a common criminal This morning we will look at the story of Jesus standing before the Jewish Sanhedrin go with me in your Bibles to the Gospel of Luke Luke the 22nd chapter we will pick up the story in the 66th verse Luke Chapter 22 we're going to pick it up in verse 66 now while you are turning their Let me give you a little bit of history this at this point in Jesus is trials are in the last few hours of his life it is early in the morning Friday morning Thursday Jesus had instituted the Last Supper and then he went into the garden to get some money he spent great hours there praying to his heavenly father then the mob dragged him in the darkness of the night to stand before Anas and then K. IAFIS then they held him for some search. In time before the hours of sunrise happened at this point the sun is beginning to peek its head over the horizon as they bring Jesus in now to stand before the Jewish Sanhedrin Well Jesus stood before K. IAFIS just moments or hours before chaos has said don't turn there but in Matthew 26 verse 65 he has spoken blasphemy what further need have we of witness behold now we have heard his blasphemy What think ye they answered and said he is guilty of death you may find this interesting but under the Jewish system of law the members of the Senate Hedron were to have a secret ballot or a secret poll that would take place to find what the verdict was in a criminal trial the reason for this was because they did not want want men of higher influence to influence men of lower influence and so they had a secret polling that would take place or a ballot that would happen where they would poll the people of the Sanhedrin and then finally compile the verdict K.-I a fist through this to the wind and he used his influence to sway the people that were there in the power in his palace to make this verdict of guilty there are many laws that govern the Jewish Sanhedrin that were not followed in the trials of Jesus and I will share a few of them with you also in this system of law prisoners could not be legally condemned under the cover of darkness. But as Jesus said when he stood before chaos this he said his teachings were always done in the light out in the open everybody could hear what he had to say but for the religious leaders they had to work under the cover of darkness because what they were doing was contrary to the law of the Jews this was not an official trial that's why Jesus had to stand before the Sanhedrin and this is where we pick it up in verse 63 Luke Chapter 22 in verse 63 the Bible says this and the men laid a hole and the men that held Jesus mocked him and smote him and when they had blindfolded him they struck him on the face and asked him same prophesied Who is it that smote the and many other things blasphemously spake they against him now as I've already mentioned this is happening verses 63365 before the sun has risen Jesus has not been oficial he condemned by the Sanhedrin as guilty of death yet they are treating him as a common criminal they are beating him they are so hitting him they are zeroing him they covered him with a with a cloth and hit him in the face and it will bite tells us that when they remove that cloth some poor wretched man spat in the face of the Son of God and when the even stood before the Sanhedrin the monic hatred filled these people as they mistreated the Son of God Now after this cruel treatment Jesus brought in for the highest ranking religious official officials and in verse 66 the Bible says this and as soon as it was day. The elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together and led him into their council same art thou the Christ tell us and he said then to them if I tell you believe and if I also ask you you will not answer me nor let me go hereafter shall the Son of Man sit on the right and of the power of God then said they all doubt are thou the Son of God and he said unto them you say that I am and they said what need we any further witness for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth at this point the sun has risen this is the official trial taking place yet all manner of laws have been broken let me share with you just a few no trial according to Jewish law was to take place on a feast day or holy days as you know the Passover was just before them according to some Jewish rabbi by the name of Isaac wise he says this No court of justice in Israel was permitted to hold session on the Sabbath or on any of the other 7 Biblical Holy Days in cases of capital crime no trial could be commenced on Friday or the day previous to a holy day because it was not lawful either to adjourn such cases longer than over night or to continue them on the Sabbath or a holy day the Jewish leaders were so bent on Jesus destruction that they cast aside the laws that had been set in place to make sure that their Courts of Justice were just. According to Jewish law it was said that the accused must have somebody to represent them what we might refer to as a lawyer to represent their case Jesus was standing alone here his disciples had fled like sheep without a shepherd Peter had just deny Jesus with cursing and swearing John was hiding somewhere in the shadows and all the other disciples had fled Judas is just moments from hanging himself there is nobody standing next to Jesus saying that he is an innocent man if they condemn him as a common criminal according to Jewish law it was said that if somebody was given the death sentence that there was to be 3 days between the verdict and the sentence of execution the reason for that 3 days was to make sure that every witness possible was able to come forward just in case they had falsely condemned a man and according to Jewish law on the 2nd day of those 3 days the Sanhedrin every 71 members of the Jewish and he was to fast and pray on that 2nd day to make sure that they made the right choice in the case of Jesus this did not happen as you know that the guilty sentence had been given and it was hours later that they were seeking the death sentence from pilots they knew that if they let those 3 days go by that their courts would be filled to overflowing with dozens if not hundreds of witnesses to what Jesus had done and they would have lost their attempt to kill the son of gone according to Jewish law a criminal was never never to be condemned by his own testimony yet this is all the testimony that they had there had to be multiple witnesses that were see that were interviewed individually before they could give the condemnation of death yet Jesus was condemned nearly upon his own words brothers sisters what we see is this there was no justice in the death of Jesus. And let me tell you something brothers sisters in the last days if you seek after justice you will be sorely different disappointed there will be no justice for the people of gone there will be no justice for the sons and daughters of God If they did not treat Jesus in a just and upright and fair manner they will not do that to his followers either justice will be thrown to the wind hatred will be what takes place and all that God's people will have to look forward to is what happened to Jesus yet it's interesting to me that we never find Jesus complaining about being treated in just yet we have all manner of things that we complain about in our churches today my preaching that your brothers and sisters listen to me carefully if we can't get over the little tiny offenses they're not even injustices they're offenses and they're completely different if we can't get over the little offense this is that happened in our churches today there is no way that we're going to be able to stand in the crisis at the close when all the world is treating us in just in an unjust manner brothers this is we need to develop some spiritual thick skin that's not so easily depressed and discouraged when things don't go the way we want them to in the crisis at the close nothing is going to go the way you want it to the only thing that we will have to hold on to is a fact that knowing we are in the center of our Father's Will that's the only thing that will encourage us during that time Jesus was treated in a cruel and unjust way his followers will be to listen to what Ellen White says in the book desire of ages talking about the really religious leader she says every feeling of sympathy or humanity had gone out of their hearts I know about you but I want to stand before people like that. All gone and all that was was in its place was a demonic hatred for Christ that's what we have to look forward to that's what God's people are going to be up against in the crisis at the close and I ask you the question today what are you doing to make sure that you will be able to stand as Jesus stood when that time comes Who are you developing your time or who are you taking your time to develop to know are you taking time to know God or are you taking time to know the world what is it that you are spending your time in to to to to gain knowledge of when the crisis comes friends every knowledge in this world is going to be useless The only knowledge that will sustain us is the relationship with Jesus that we have developed on a daily basis when the verdict of guilty was given listen to what happened desire of a just paid 73 she says this When the condemnation of Jesus was pronounced by the judges a say tannic fury took possession of the people the roar of voices was like that of wild beasts the crowd made a rush towards Jesus crying he is guilty put him to death had it not been for the Roman soldiers Jesus would not have lived to be nailed to the cross of Calvary he would have been torn in pieces before his judges had not the Roman authority interfered and by force of arms restrained the violence of the mob listen we had never experienced anything like this if we can't maintain our hold upon God in relative peace and prosperity there is no way it's going to happen in times like this when every earthly support has been cut off and all the world seems to be after your death. A White tells us that the heathen Roman officials were offended by the way the religious leaders were teach treating the Son of God want you to notice something again with me before we go to the next trial go with me over 69 Jesus is talking to the Sanhedrin here in answer to their question he says this here after shall the Son of Man sit on the right hand of the power of God Now might be overlooked by some but it's interesting to know that what Jesus said to the Sanhedrin was almost verbatim what he said to chaos is when Jesus said these words to K. IAFIS it through the high priest into a fit of rage he stood up he tore his clothes he cried out blasphemy and the crowd as a result of the words that Jesus spoke to K. IAFIS they buffeted him they'd hit him they was smote him they covered his face and they hit him in the face they treated him in the most inhumane manner because Jesus said that to K.I.I. offis ask you question if you say something to somebody that causes them to treat you in an unkind way are you going to say that thing again chances are you probably are going to shy away from saying that thing again because you don't want to be rule each read but when Jesus was asked the same question before the Jewish and he he maintained his integrity and he did not move a hair he was consistent. He was faithful to what God had called him to do he did not change his message he did not change his tone he did not change his commitment to God and what God had called him to do but he maintained his faithfulness even though Jesus knew that as soon as he uttered those words for the 2nd time the same thing was going to happen that happened just moments before he was going to be tore almost torn apart we just read how she said he would have made it to Calvary if the Roman guards hadn't stepped in and said stop these words angered the people but Jesus spoke the truth and did not wave I was flying across the Pacific Ocean I read a book entitled The insanity of God never read it it's an interesting read about the persecuted church and persecuted parts of the world I won't get into the details but I want to share with you story that I read and there was a story about a man who was a pastor in Communist Russia he was arrested and put in a K.G.B. torture camp just because he was a pastor for 6 months there tortured this man in ways that I cannot mention from up front because it's probably not propre Although the book goes into the details for a year that man's family never heard anything from him for all they knew he was dead people didn't use they survived this torture camp but one day the wife got a phone call inviting her to come down to the prison to visit her husband so she took her little boy 8 years old by his hand and she let him down to that prison torture prison camp as they walked into the common area where the 1500 prisoners that were incarcerated there were visiting their families they sat there and waited and waited and waited for somebody to come and visit for this pastor to come and visit them but he didn't show up they were given one hour to visit with their family. And at the end of that hour they saw some K.G.B. prison guards with a with it looked like a sack of rags in their arms they carried him a crossed this common area and they walked up to this wife in this little boy and they laid this bundle of rags on the table this they pulled back the covers they saw the I'm a see it in beaten body that was underneath those covers and the form was so changed that the only way they were able to recognise that this was her husband and his father was his piercing blue eyes that was the only way they were able to recognise for 12 months that men maintain his spiritual integrity he held firm to his father's hand and would not change one iota he was faithful to God in the midst of persecution that pastors little boy 8 years old in leaned over and whispered into his father's years he said Father I'm proud of you struggle with that I said tears on the plane as I read the story will I be able to maintain my spiritual integrity in the crisis at the close the only way I'll be able to do it is if I know my Heavenly Father so well that he will be able to sustain me during that dark out brother sister it's coming I'm not trying to scare you this is no scaremongering that's going on is warning it's going to happen times of peace are going to be taken away from us and it will be under times of trial that we will have to learn the lessons that we should have learned during the times of peace but I want my father to be able to look down upon me during that time of trial and say Son I'm proud of you I'm proud of you for to seen you in the kingdom of heaven we need to look to Jesus and hold firm the faith that God has given to us no matter what comes our way sisters brothers sisters it's only going to get worse from here on out. When you feel that anger coming into your heart because somebody has wronged you you need to pray and say Lord take it away because this is demonic when you feel like you've been in justly treated by somebody here in the church and you want to lash back at them you need to pray and say Lord please take this demonic feeling away from me I do not want to be possessed by the devil of anger I want to be possessed by the devil or by the spirit of love the devil is studying your character and he's trying to find whatever way he can to keep you away from knowing your Heavenly Father in a way that will bring conversion not to your own life but the lives of people that God bring you in contact now we see Jesus hastened over to stand before pilot John Chapter 18 if you would go with me there John the 18th chapter I'm sure that at this point Jesus is very tired he has gone through a lot he's been cruelly treated he has been beaten 3 times at this point and he's only going to face more physical abuse they hurried Jesus over to pilots judgment hall and it's interesting in the book desire of ages we're told that the high priests did not go into pilots judgment hall because they did not want to pollute themselves they didn't want to defile themselves by going into this heathen Gentiles palace because they wanted to be able to celebrate the Passover the next day a white says they didn't realize that the murderers the murderous thoughts and the acts of murder that they were just about to commit had disqualified them from partaking in the past so they were so blinded and possessed by the devil they won't pile it up we're told out of his sleep according to one Jewish philosopher pilot was a very vindictive and furious furiously tempered man now I don't know about you but that's not the type of person that I want to wake up in the. I don't want to be a criminal that has to stand before somebody 1st thing in the morning who has a bad temper and were told in the book desire of ages that when pilot came in before Jesus he had come in with the with the mindset that he was going to make quick work of what needs to happen he didn't want to linger around he was going to give them what they wanted and move on but when pilot was brought into the presence of Jesus something happened in review and herald November 7th of $899.00 says this pilot looked at the man who had Jesus in charge and then his gaze rested searchingly on Jesus he continued to look at him or he could not do otherwise that we would be like pilot there and then that we would continue to look at Jesus because we cannot do anything if he had had to deal with all kinds of criminals but the countenance of the man before him bore the signature of heaven not of a criminal Never before had one bearing such marks of goodness and nobility been brought before him on his face pilot saw no signs of guilt no expression of fear no boldness or defiance not think of all Jesus had been through up to this point he had gone through 3 trials of betrayal he had gone through the garden at this point he had been mistreated 3 times and she and she tells us that on his face that pilot saw no signs of guilt no expression of fear no boldness or defiance he was calm she says and of dignified bearing. That type of peace in the midst of the storm a man I mean it's just raging all around Jesus is standing there in the presence of a group of people that's possessed by the devil and he's come. To know about you brothers or sisters but God got to do some work in my life. If I'm going to be able to stand calm and dignified in the last days when I'm in the presence of people that are demonically possessed and are crying for the death of God's people the 144000 who are following the lamb wherever he goes if I'm going to be able to stand at that time or it's going to do some work in my heart life was of little consequence to pilot he had falsely condemned people many times but there was something different about Jesus knows what the Bible says in verse 29 of John chapter 18. Then went out on to them that is to the religious leaders and said What accusations bring you against this man priests were incensed that pilot would question their authority they felt that by virtue of them bringing in their mind a condemned man before pilot was reason enough for pilot to just simply give them the death sentence but you know the religious leaders understood that if the pilot does a little too much that he would find out that there were not adequate accusations against Jesus and that they would have to let him go and they did not want to explain any more verse 30 the Bible says they answered and said unto him If you were not a male factor we would not have delivered Him up to the they hoped to influence pilot by their prominent positions to just simply give them the death sentence but thing was happening in the heart of that even pagan. Verse 31 then said pilot unto him take him and judge him according to your law the Jews therefore said unto him it is not lawful for us to put any man to death. Public kind of puts them in a difficult situation he says listen if you've condemned him according to your law take them and deal with them according to your law but the Jews were not allowed to kill people they were not allowed to execute the death sentence they had to have Roman authority to do that and pilot was pushing them he wanted to know what are the accusations that you bring against this man pilot had stood before criminals he had seen that look in a criminal's eye he was a well acquainted with a lawless man and when he looked into the face of Jesus he didn't see lawlessness he didn't see selfishness he saw the Son of God and he saw the love of God in Jesus heart and it moved him to make this choir why bring you this min before me well now that they're pushed don't turn there but just listen to this in Luke Chapter 23 and verse 2 we actually read the accusations that they brought against Jesus in pilots court and they began to accuse him say number one we find this fellow perverting the nation number 2 and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar and number 3 saying that he himself is Christ a king all 3 accusations were of no validation they weren't backed up they were completely unfounded in fact they tried to trip Jesus up just a couple of chapters before in the Gospel of Luke trying to find some way to find political charges against him you remember in Luke Chapter 20 when they came to Jesus and asked him the question is it lawful for us to give tribute under Caesar you remember that question they were trying to find some way to be able to politically condemn the Son of God but they had nothing so they had to fabricate a false accusation against the Son of God What do you think's going to happen to us in the last days brothers sisters you better pray that God gives you an upright character that has nothing in it that could be condemned as long as you sound I'm saying. When we come into the courts of law in the last days it better be your character that they had issue with not your past and if there's past there's skeletons in your closet you need to go make those skeletons right so that when you stand in the last days that it's the character of God that they had issue with and that they find nothing in you that they can condemn you for according to the law verse 33 Them pilot entered into the judgment hall again and called Jesus and said unto him Art thou the king of the Jews Jesus answered him saying say is that these things a by self or did others tell him the ME pilot answered him I advise you I no nation and the chief priest have delivered the into unto me what house done Jesus answered My kingdom is not of this world if my kingdom were of this world then would my servants fight that I should not be delivered to the Jews but now is my kingdom not from hence pilot therefore said unto him Art thou a king then Jesus answered now say is that I am a King did this and was I born and for this cause came I into the world that I should bear witness unto the truth everyone that is of the truth here with my voice pilots say a thing to him What is the true. Pilot as Jews a question are now a king and this is well a White says in response that desired a visit desired ages 72027 she says this Jesus did not directly answer this question are a king of the Jews he knew that the Holy Spirit was want and he gave him opportunity to acknowledge his. Conviction this is another conviction that's happening he stood before K. ifas care 5 K. ifas was convicted he stood before the premise used to use proud was convicted he stands now before pilot and pilot is convicted that this man is the Son of God and Jesus can sense that the Holy Spirit is working on the heart of pilot and he wants to give pilot the opportunity to acknowledge that conviction here is the fascinating thing to me in this 4th trial of Jesus Jesus speaks the most out of all 6 of his trials Jesus speaks the most to pilot some 90 words Jesus speaks the pilot as he's standing there pilots judgment hall because he senses that the Holy Spirit is working on this man I don't know about you but when I look at this I think to myself This is amazing Jesus has gone through the garden of get so many at this point he has swept great drops of blood he has been cruelly treated by the mob he has gone through 3 trials beaten 3 times and now he's standing before pilot and he did deep inside of himself and he speaks words that could bring salvation to this heathen then do you think Jesus was comfortable physically at this point even though he was mistreated and uncomfortable his body taking up all my long Jesus steps outside himself and he witnesses to this man who is under conviction and I think to myself if Jesus could you that feeling the way he did why can't I share my faith with others when I an incomplete come among no brothers and sisters Now this I'm not trying to give you a tongue lashing or anything like that. But I want you to see how committed Jesus was to trying to save fallen. That even though he was in the most uncomfortable position he had ever been in in his life he still saw the Holy Spirit working on the heart of this man and he wanted to bring salvation to that and I think of all the times when I have slept a good night's rest I think of all the times when I've had a full stomach of food Think of all the times when I've been in perfect health yet I couldn't share my faith and then I look at Jesus bruised beaten spit on almost torn apart falsely accused and mistreated and there he is thinking outside of himself Oh love what wondrous love Jesus had for fallen man as I was thinking on this this morning the passage of scripture came to my mind 1st Corinthians chapter 13 a verse 7 where the Bible says love talking about a gobby love it bears all things it believes all things hope with all things and it endures all things that passage right there is fulfilled in the last 48 hours of the life of Christ if you want to see what that passage looks like look at that story all things everything that was thrown at Jesus Jesus and doing everything that was thrown in Jesus and Jesus he bore it he believed in it he hoped that pilot by chance might acknowledge the conviction of the of the Holy Spirit on his heart he endured all things Jesus went through this verse he gave us an example of what it looks like in the most severe of situations yet brothers sisters we can even do this in times of peace and prosperity to our brothers and sisters in the church we got some work to do in our prayer closets we need to pray that the Lord will give us this kind of love not only in our church but in our home. Brothers and sisters if we can have this type of love you are not ready to see the Kingdom of Heaven you are not safe to be translated although you may share your faith although you may believe in the truth of God's word you are unfit to walk were angels walk if you don't have this experience that Jesus has had this is where exact love beareth all things that believe it all things that hope with all things that endured all things this was the character of Jesus and when he was brought into that time of trial and he was squeezed by all of those demonically possessed individuals there was no evil that came out of Jesus's heart all they came out was this the Lord has that does do you have to do something in our lives before any to go through the crisis at the close brothers sisters I want this converted heart that will be able to stand as Jesus stood I want this converted heart that just loses out the atmosphere of heaven wherever I go I want this converted heart that brings conviction into the lives of people that I am brought in contact with as it was with pilot and K.-I FIS and the rest of the crowd I want this converted heart about you May the Lord give it to us May the Lord give it to us and may he be the one that does it and not ourselves for anything that we build will not stand the test of time let us pray Father in heaven as we look at the life of Jesus there is just no way there is no way Lord that we will be able to stand during the crisis at the close as we stand right now we need some heart surgery done Lord the Father we pray that as we lay out on the heavenly operating table as you take away our stony hearts and do that heart surgery father give us a heart that beats with the love of Jesus Lord please give us love where there is hatred. Give us kindness where there is unkindness give us Lord this experience of Jesus that others may see that we have a genuine faith and not an intellectual faith Father I pray that you will go with us from this place and that you will continue the perfect work that you have begun and that as we lay helpless surrender to your will and as we look at Jesus for we can do no other may we be changed into that same image we pray that when that cry when that crisis our calms we may be able to stand as Jesus stood following him wherever he leads us thank you.

Osiris Therapeutics, Inc. Enters Agreement to be Acquired by Smith & Nephew plc
COLUMBIA, Md., March 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Osiris Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSIR), a regenerative medicine company focused on developing and marketing products for wound care, orthopedics, and sports medicine, today announced that it has entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Smith & Nephew plc pursuant to which Smith & Nephew will acquire Osiris for $19.00 per share in cash, a total of approximately $660.5 million in cash. This offer represents a 37% premium to the company's 90-day volume-weighted average stock price. The transaction was unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies.
Peter Friedli, Chairman of the Board and co-founder of Osiris, said, "This is a very good outcome for Osiris' shareholders. The Board concluded unanimously, after taking into account the requirements needed to take the business to the next level, that entering into this agreement represents the best way to maximize value for our stockholders." Mr. Friedli added, "I am immensely proud of the business we have built from our research into advanced regenerative technologies. I believe Smith & Nephew is the right home for Osiris and will allow our products to reach more customers, helping to restore quality of life for more patients."
"This agreement reflects the significant value that the Osiris team has generated for our shareholders under Peter Friedli's leadership. We believe this transaction will also benefit our customers, employees, and partners," said Samson Tom, President and Chief Executive Officer of Osiris.
Completion of the transaction is expected in the second quarter of 2019, pending the successful completion of the tender offer and all other closing conditions. Osiris' employees are expected to join Smith & Nephew on completion. Until that time, Osiris will continue to operate as a separate and independent company.
Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. rendered a fairness opinion to the Board of Directors of Osiris in connection with the transaction. Hogan Lovells US LLP is acting as legal counsel for Osiris.
Under the terms of the agreement and plan of merger, Smith & Nephew has formed an acquisition subsidiary, Papyrus Acquisition Corp. ("Purchaser"), that will commence a tender offer no later than April 2, 2019 to purchase all outstanding shares of Osiris for $19.00 per share in cash, and Osiris will file a recommendation statement containing the unanimous recommendation of the Osiris Board that Osiris stockholders tender their shares to Smith & Nephew. Following the completion of the tender offer, Smith & Nephew expects to promptly consummate a merger of Purchaser and Osiris in which shares of Osiris that have not been purchased in the tender offer will be converted into the right to receive the same cash price per share as paid in the tender offer.
The tender offer and the merger are subject to customary closing conditions, including the tender of at least a majority of the outstanding Osiris shares on a fully diluted basis and the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act. The merger agreement includes customary termination provisions for both Osiris and Smith & Nephew, including a right for either party to terminate if the transactions have not been completed by December 12, 2019.
The merger agreement provides that, in connection with the termination of the merger agreement under specified circumstances, including termination by Osiris to accept a superior proposal, Osiris will be required to pay to Smith & Nephew a fee equal to $18,682,450.
Smith & Nephew plc (LSE: SN, NYSE: SNN) is making a separate announcement regarding the transaction to its investors today.

Recently in the United States, Waste to Energy has been deemed a Renewable Energy source. According to the EPA, the definition of Renewable Energy is "…energy obtained from sources that are essentially inexhaustible, unlike natural gas, coal and oil, of which there is a finite supply." According to the Department of Energy (DOE), "Renewable energy sources include: wood and other biomass, solar (Photovoltaic and Thermal), wind, geothermal, wastes [Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF), Landfill Gas (LFG)] and any other sources that are naturally or continually replenished." By definition, the DOE describes renewable energy as a "non-deplete-able source of energy."
According to the U.S. EPA, for every ton of municipal solid waste processed at Energy-from-Waste facilities, greenhouse gas emissions are reduced by approximately one ton. This is due to the avoidance of methane from landfills, the offset of greenhouse gases from fossil fuel power production, and the recovery of metals for recycling.
Integral Power works with municipalities and corporations to develop sustainable energy solutions to their waste management challenges. We believe that preserving valuable natural resources such as minimizing landfilling by recycling and generating clean energy from waste is the highest form of environmental stewardship. Tailored recycling and waste-to-energy solutions minimize business risks, while providing an environmental alternative to landfills.
The materials we discard every day should be utilized to their fullest potential to preserve valuable resources and generate clean energy – this promotes sustainability by minimizing landfill space, water consumption and air emissions.
"We believe in being good stewards of our finite resources by developing and supporting projects that recycle waste into cost-effective, base-load, clean energy."

Orientation Packages
Thrive Education And Wellness
Next Steps Initiative has initiated a comprehensive resource development process to support school educators to introduce and embed instructional reform processes related to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education.
some questions are listed:
What is a Professional Development package?
What are the Professional Development packages?
What are the educational benefits of these packages?
A Professional Development package is a self-contained resource that educators and/or community members can use to develop knowledge, understanding and skills in an area of need related to the education of Aboriginal students and Torres Strait Islander students.
Orientation Packages: Packages that introduce educators to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, beliefs, protocols and processes of engagement.
School-based Packages: Packages developed by schools to meet a local need that will ultimately improve outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
Professional Learning Packages include packages based on:
academic research which support local educational reform
the Australian Curriculum which support engagement with the priority Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Histories and Culture, and learning area curricula
literacy and numeracy development.
Packages can be shared across the existing national network and potentially into all schools and communities. The sharing of resources within and across systems reduces ongoing expenditure at the systemic and school level, and most importantly provides ideas and ready-made professional development that systems and schools can use for their own purposes.
Packages are developed in response to, and feature research related to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education.
Packages focus on Australian Curriculum and other educational priorities.
Package development also provides systems with potential facilitators and presenters as resources for professional learning.
Educators within a school participate in a high-level engagement process that leads to high-quality professional development and reform that will ultimately improve outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
Educators participate in a multi-phase program that stimulates professional conversations about school-based reform.
Educators are 'strongly encouraged' to create the packages with the local Indigenous community which increases the likelihood of sustainability and effectiveness.
Educators are 'strongly encouraged' to establish a local Indigenous Education Reference Group with members of the local Indigenous community, so that future packages and reform processes can be discussed collaboratively.
Educators receive packages that relate to national educational and Indigenous priorities.
Engagement with the development of Learning Community packages provides templates and processes for ongoing work.
Locally contextualized packages address the significant Australian issue of 'within school' variance in quality education.
Packages can be developed that have a community development focus that have both an inside and outside the school-fence orientation
All packages are to be developed with community involvement throughout. The emphasis should be on 'asking' the community, not 'telling' the community.
Packages provide meaningful engagement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the education process.
The sign-off processes for packages and plans addresses the need for significant improvement of the authentic involvement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in governance and decision-making.
Packages can be developed with the input of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
All packages are to ultimately support improved outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.

Der Große Preis von Südafrika 1992 fand am 1. März auf dem Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit statt und war das erste Rennen der Formel-1-Weltmeisterschaft 1992.

Berichte

Hintergrund
Erstmals seit 1985 fand wieder ein Grand Prix in Südafrika statt. Die Rennstrecke von Kyalami war inzwischen weitestgehend umgebaut worden.

Während der Winterpause kündigte Pirelli an, wegen wirtschaftlicher Schwierigkeiten vorerst keine Reifen mehr für die Formel 1 herzustellen. Somit wurde Goodyear Alleinausstatter.

Die Teams McLaren, Williams, Lotus und Ligier starteten jeweils mit den Fahrerpaarungen in die neue Saison, mit denen sie die vorherige beendet hatten. Die Scuderia Ferrari behielt Jean Alesi und engagierte Ivan Capelli als Ersatz für Alain Prost, dem gegen Ende der Saison 1991 die weitere Teilnahme an Formel-1-Rennen für Ferrari untersagt worden war und der sich nicht zuletzt aufgrund eines weiterhin gültigen Ferrari-Vertrages mit entsprechender Bezahlung gegen eine Teilnahme an der Saison 1992 in einem anderen Team entschied.

Neuer Teamkollege von Michael Schumacher bei Benetton wurde Martin Brundle. Nelson Piquet beendete seine Formel-1-Karriere. Footwork engagierte Aguri Suzuki neben Michele Alboreto und trat fortan mit Mugen-Honda-Aggregaten an. Tyrrell stellte sich mit Olivier Grouillard und Andrea de Cesaris sowie Motoren von Ilmor ebenso neu auf, wie Brabham mit Eric van de Poele, der Debütantin Giovanna Amati und Motoren des Herstellers Judd. Bei Jordan wurden ebenfalls beide Cockpits mit Stefano Modena und Maurício Gugelmin neu besetzt und mit Yamaha ein neuer Motorenausrüster gewählt.

Das Fondmetal-Team erweiterte sein Engagement um einen zweiten Wagen und besetzte diesen mit dem Formel-1-Neuling Andrea Chiesa. Pierluigi Martini wechselte von Minardi zur Scuderia Italia und wurde dort neuer Teamkollege von JJ Lehto. Das freigewordene Minardi-Cockpit nahm der Formel-1-Debütant Christian Fittipaldi ein.

Nachdem man sich mit Lola nicht auf eine weitere Zusammenarbeit über 1991 hinaus einigen konnte, schloss Larrousse einen Vertrag über die Entwicklung eines Formel-1-Rennwagens mit dem Sportwagenhersteller Venturi. Bertrand Gachot wurde als Fahrer beibehalten. Für das zweite Cockpit wurde der Debütant Ukyō Katayama engagiert. Das unter schweren finanziellen Problemen leidende Team March ließ den von Mercedes-Benz geförderten Karl Wendlinger sowie den Neuling Paul Belmondo als Paydriver für sich antreten. Der zwischenzeitliche Teamname Leyton House wurde wieder durch die ursprüngliche Bezeichnung ersetzt.

AGS und Coloni hatten sich bereits kurz vor dem Ende der Saison 1991 aus der Formel 1 zurückgezogen, das Team Modena entschied sich nach Abschluss Saison ebenfalls für einen Ausstieg. Auf Basis des Coloni-Teams wurde Andrea Moda Formula neu gegründet. Das Team wollte mit einem modifizierten Coloni C4B in die Saison starten, wurde jedoch vom Rennwochenende ausgeschlossen, da man sich weigerte, ein Antrittsgeld an die FISA zu zahlen.

Training
Wie üblich durften maximal 30 Fahrzeuge an den regulären Trainingseinheiten teilnehmen. Da diese Zahl infolge des Ausschlusses von Andrea Moda nicht überschritten wurde, konnte auf eine Vorqualifikation verzichtet werden.

Mit einer deutlichen Bestzeit qualifizierte sich Nigel Mansell für die Pole-Position vor dem amtierenden Weltmeister Ayrton Senna und dessen Teamkollege Gerhard Berger. Riccardo Patrese folgte auf dem vierten Startplatz vor Jean Alesi, Michael Schumacher, Karl Wendlinger und Martin Brundle.

Rennen
Kurz nach dem Start gelang es Patrese, sowohl an Berger als auch an Senna vorbeizuziehen und dadurch gemeinsam mit Mansell eine Doppelführung für Williams herzustellen, die bis ins Ziel Bestand hatte. Berger fiel kurz darauf auf den sechsten Rang hinter Alesi und Schumacher zurück.

Alesi musste in Runde 41 aufgrund eines Problems mit der Ölzufuhr aufgeben. Mansell siegte vor Patrese, Senna, Schumacher und Berger. Johnny Herbert erhielt als Sechster den letzten WM-Punkt des Tages.

It's The End of the Road for 'Britain's Next...
It's The End of the Road for 'Britain's Next Top Model'
By Michael West in Movies / TV / Theatre on 28 October 2013
'Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model' is no more.
Picture: Elle Macpherson NBC Universal's Winter Tour party at The Athenaeum - Arrivals Los Angeles, California - 06.01.12
Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model has been axed by Sky Living following the ninth season that was won by Lauren Lambert earlier this year.
The show scored big numbers during its first few seasons, with Lisa Butcher and later Lisa Snowdon at the helm, though interest in the programme eventually began to wane. Elle Macpherson's was the show's final host.
"After nearly a decade on air, BINTM won't be returning to Sky Living next year," said a statement from the channel.
"We'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of the talent who have been involved in the series, with particular thanks to Thumbs Up Productions, Exec Producer and host Elle Macpherson and this final season's judges Dannii Minogue and Tyson Beckford."
The show - originally known as Britain Next Top Model - was first broadcast in 2005 following the success of America's Next Top Model and its host Tyra Banks.
Judges to appear on the British version of the show have included reality star Whitney Port, and Welsh fashion designer Julien MacDonald. It featured a group of young female contestants who live in a house together while battling for a weekly prize with themed photo-shoots.
One aspiring model is eliminated each week while the winner receives a modelling contract, a fashion magazine spread and other prizes.
The show is now broadcast around the world including parts of Asia, Europe and South America.
Sky Living also broadcasts a similar reality show in The Face - a modelling programme featuring judges Naomi Campbell, Caroline Winberg and Erin O'Connor.
Lisa Butcher Presented The First Season of Britain's Next Top Model
Lisa Snowdon Presented Four Seasons of Britain's and Ireland's Next Top Model

Ramadan Disbursement 2018
700 more families are set to receive monthly financial help from Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) under its zakat assistance programme. This is made possible after a revision made to the eligibility criteria for zakat financial assistance. From 1 September 2018, Muis will increase the eligibility criteria from a household PCI (Per Capita Income) of $350 currently, to a PCI of $400. This was announced by Minister for the Environment and Water Resources and Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs, Mr Masagos Zulkifli at the Muis' Ramadan Disbursement Ceremony and Iftar (breaking of fast) on Friday, 8 June 2018.
In his speech, Mr Masagos shared that Muis is setting aside $2.3 million for this year's Ramadan Bonus disbursement, an increase of 23.5% from last year. This disbursement will benefit 4,300 families and 2,050 individuals, which include families on Muis' monthly assistance, residence of welfare homes, as well as Muslim recipients of ComCare Long Term Assistance. Each recipient will receive between $150 to as much as $1,000, depending on the family size. This year's bonus will also be extended to 100 additional needy families who have been recommended by Family Service Centres all over Singapore.
Muis conducts regular reviews of quantum of monthly financial assistance as well as the PCI to determine eligibility for zakat. Head of Muis' Social Development Strategic Unit Ms Muzaiyanah Hamzah said:
"We are very mindful of the fact that if you look at inflation, the cost of living and also the stagnation of income, we would like to be able to supplement some of this gap and to ensure that the low income families get the additional support that the need."
At this year's Rahmah Ramadan, Muis played host to about 200 guests from 27 welfare homes and institutions, keeping with the tradition of sharing the blessings of Ramadan. The welfare homes were presented with special mementos in the form of artwork produced by artists from the Rainbow Centres, Casa Raudha Women Home and Pertapis (Pertapis Seniors Fellowship Home and Pertapis Kiddy Campus).

Ein Schalungsträger, ist ein aus Holz, seltener aus Aluminium, gefertigter I-Träger, der meist als Balkenlage für Schalungen im Bauwesen verwendet wird.

Als Erfinder des Schalungsträgers gilt die Firma Steidle, als weltweit größte Hersteller die österreichische Doka-Gruppe und das deutsche Unternehmen Peri.

Bauform und Anforderungen
Das auf statische Ansprüche ausgelegte I-Profil, als hoher Träger, ermöglicht die Aufnahme eines hohen Biegemoments bei zugleich geringem Gewicht. Dieses Prinzip eines schlanken Querschnitts mit hoher Biegesteifigkeit wird ansonsten besonders im Stahlbau verwendet.

Der verbindende Steg wird massiv aus Vollholz oder Holzwerkstoffen oder um Gewicht zu sparen, als einfaches Fachwerk ausgeführt.

Eine weitere Gewichtsersparnis ist mit Schalungsträgern aus Aluminium möglich. Nachteil eines Aluminiumträgers ist, dass nur an bestimmten Stellen (genauer: einer eingefassten Holzleiste) andere Schalungsteile mit Nägeln befestigt werden können. Vorteile dagegen liegen in höheren Belastungswerten, in der Formstabilität (kein Schwellen oder Schwinden durch Wasser), der Witterungsbeständigkeit und der Langlebigkeit.

A Lot of (SMART) Bottles!
NEWS: A Lot of (SMART) Bottles!
Market research analysts Technavio forecast the global smart bottle market will grow at a CAGR of close to 15% during the period 2018-2022. This is according to their latest report which segments the global smart bottle market into the following applications (smart water bottle, smart pharmaceutical bottle, smart alcoholic beverage bottle, and smart baby feeding bottle) and key regions (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA).
In this report, Technavio analysts highlight the surge in IoT as a key factor contributing to the growth of the global smart bottle market. In smart water bottles, the amount of water is automatically recorded using the weight sensor installed inside the bottle. Based on IoT technology, smart bottles interact with devices that have the application installed, which allows sharing of the usage information. The newly connected gadgets that are controlled by mobile apps and feed personal data into the cloud are driving a wave of IoT.
The smart water bottle segment dominated the global smart bottle market with a share of more than 54% in 2017. It was followed by the smart pharmaceutical bottle segment, smart alcoholic beverage bottles and smart baby feeding bottles respectively.
In terms of geography, the global smart bottle market was dominated by the Americas with around 55% market share in 2017, followed by EMEA and APAC respectively. The smart bottle market in the Americas was dominated by the US, as many smart bottle vendors are present in this region.

A Guide to Color Grading Photos in Adobe Lightroom
While the camera works as a tool to capture a scene or subject, you can change the tone and feel of the final photo during post processing. Using Adobe Lightroom, you can color your photos to give them an atmospheric feel and style. Whether it's a landscape photo or a photo of a party, you can use Lightroom to make your photos more impactful.
See also How To Exit Emergency Mode on Android
Color grading provides the ability to alter the appearance of your image in several ways. As a result, you can create something that expresses your style better than your original camera photo.
In this article, you'll learn where to find color grading in Lightroom Classic on your desktop. You will also learn when to use specific colors.
Why Adobe replaced split tone with color grading
In Lightroom, Adobe replaced Split Toning with Color Grading in late 2020. Simply put, the company wanted to give users more choice.
With Split Toning, photographers could only change the colors of the highlights and shadows in their images. But with color grading, they can also change their halftones.
Color grading also allows the color of the entire image to be changed on a single wheel.
What you can use for color grading
You can use color grading to make technical changes to photos taken on your phone and camera. For example, if you capture a day in a bad mood, you might find that there is too much blue in the image straight out of your camera. If you took a photo on a sunny day, you might find too much yellow.
But you can also use color grading for styling and creative purposes. You can use it to change the mood of an image and reflect the emotions you want to bring out in the viewer.
With color grading, you can also change the luminance of specific parts of a photo. You can also choose how much you want to mix your alternate colors.
When to use color calibration
When editing your photos in Lightroom, it's a good idea to edit other parts of your image first before color grading. For example, you can play around with the hue, saturation, and luminance of individual colors. You can also change saturation, vibrance, and white balance.
Once you've changed the colors, brightness, etc. of your image, color grading can add the perfect finishing touch.
Unless you go for a surreal style, there's a good chance you want your photo to always look like it was taken in real life. Color grading at the start can make editing more difficult, and you may add too many or few of the other sliders.
When you use color grading, how you use it depends on what you're trying to accomplish. If you're looking to create an image with warmer tones, it's a good idea to focus more on yellow, orange, or red.
If you're looking to add a cooler or suller feel, on the other hand, you should focus more on blues and greens.
Where to find color grading in Lightroom
Finding color grading wheels in Lightroom Classic is pretty straightforward. Below is a step by step guide.
Step 1: Open the Lightroom app on your computer.
2nd step: Click on the Develop tab.
Step 3: Scroll down to Color Calibration. The option is under Basic, Tone Curve and HSL / Color.
You can also change the layout of your color calibration wheels. By default, the Midtones, Shadows, and Highlights circles appear together. But if you prefer, you can choose to display them individually.
To view the wheels only, go to the Adjust section at the top of the Color Calibration tab. Click on the circles next to it until you find the image area you want to edit.
If you want to color the entire image, click on the final circle – which is Global. Then you can edit the photos as you like.
Take your photos to the next level with color grading
While knowing how to take good photos is essential, Lightroom is a powerful tool for tweaking your photos to suit your style. And color grading can mean the difference between average and great.
When using color grading, it's important to remember that too many colors will add unwanted tint to your images. Therefore, practicing moderation is a good idea.
Mastering the color grading tool can be time consuming for beginners. So try to train as often as possible. Before long, you'll start producing edits that will wow your friends and family.

Rethinking the Procreative Right
02_10YaleHumRts_DevLJ1_2007_.pdf
Dillard, Carter
Few principles are as universally accepted in legal scholarship today, but based on such scant support, as the fundamental nature and broad scope of the right to procreate. What is perceived as a vague but nonetheless justified legal and moral interest to procreate freely without regard to others is, upon closer examination, based on little more than misconstrued or inapposite case precedent and blurry statements in non-binding sources of international law. By relying on this authority, conflating procreation with conceptually distinguishable behaviors, presuming its intrinsic value, and ignoring competing rights and duties, lawyers have largely overlooked procreation and its legal and normative limits. Interpreting U.S. constitutional and international law sources, and finally employing Locke's model of natural rights, this Article redefines the right in law and practice as satiable and narrow, acknowledging the competing rights and duties that both qualify and justify the right. It posits that the procreative right, properly stated, includes at least the act of replacing oneself and at most procreation up to a point that optimizes the public good.

Welcome to emo-ska! This is a fun/hate romp through two genres, which actually works for locals The Anchorage. Lyrics about pointing fingers at the lazy, the runaways, the suicide-attempters and those who aren't facing reality in general, meet a wall of happy horns. It sounds very strange, I know, but Derek Harman's Chris Carrabba-like vocals harmonize with the bouncy quintet. Ben Lambert's trombone, and Erik Vorkink's trumpet have a sound that's just as strong as a five-piece horn section without being overwhelming. Reggae beats come through on Harman's and Scott Inkley's guitars. It is a tight and professional-sounding CD, and you get a whopping 12 unique tracks to boot. It's a depressingly fun ride, and that's a compliment.

Olly Pope injured with back issue.
England win toss and opt to bat.
Feels like a retro choice.
Me too. I'm assuming it's a 'horses for courses' choice and he won't be around come the summer.
But he did well on the Lions tour in the UAE so he is back. He was selected for the ODIs so he was going to the WI anyway. I think he will make way for Archer in March as Willey has improved.
To be fair, they played 7 of their 9 tests against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, 5 of which were at home. So those stats are a little flattering.
But given the state of England's batting, they should still be nervous.
In the first two-day game at Cave Hill, England made 317, led by knocks of 87 from Joe Root and 56 from Ben Stokes against spinner Bryan Charles (5-100) and pacer Chemar Holder (3-67). Pacers Jimmy Anderson (4-12) and Stuart Broad (4-19) were the leading wicket-takers as the President's XI lost 18 wickets for 203 runs.
The second game was only slightly more sensible, as England made 379 thanks mainly to Jonny Bairstow (98) and Rory Burns (68). Medium pacer Raymon Reifer took 3-39 and part-time spinner John Campbell 3-58. The President's XI were 233-11 (yes, eleven!) when the match was called off. Sunil Ambris made 94, while pacer Chris Woakes took 3-31.
Why don't they just play one proper match, rather than these ridiculous 19 wicket innings?
Yes. Might as well not bother putting out that WI team, which doesn't look the worst.
sussexpob wrote: Why don't they just play one proper match, rather than these ridiculous 19 wicket innings?
I read somewhere the WICB wanted a 4 day game and the ECB didn't.
We played 6 bowlers for 2 Tests v India and 2 against SL. Last Test it 5. It looks like now it is back to 5. I think Rashid got a central contract because they thought 2 spinners would be playing most matches. So will it be 4 seamers and Ali or 3 seamers and 2 spinners for the WI and Ashes?
'England's highest Test run-scorer Cook, who retired after series victory over India in September, said Foakes' emergence means captain Joe Root cannot play four seam bowlers and two spinners in the same team, as he did last summer'.
Could do though, that's very defensive thinking. Foakes could bat at six. That would leave Mo at seven, Curran (or Woakes) at eight and Rashid at nine.
But there's no really need to. Five bowlers is enough, and they can pick their best spinner regardless of his batting.
