Are there any Old School Hip Hop FM Radio Stations?
Yes, there are stations that are specified to play only old school hip hop songs on satellite radio and you can have access to old school songs from Youtube, or any other music streaming website or any cable provider (for example Music Choice). But are there any old school FM stations that we can turn to without having to pay a cable/satellite/internet bill.
I ask this question because hip hop, depending on who you ask, is 40 years old, 41 if you want to be technical; and yet there are no terrestrial stations dedicated to Classic Hip Hop. I think by now we should have enough hip hop songs that cover from the late 70s to the mid to late 90s to start up a station.
This topic has been on my mind because there are plenty classic rock stations for rock fans. People who love rock, especially the young fans, can learn about the genre's history through the actual music. I feel that hip hop fans don't have that same luxury. Outside of a DJ specialty mix here and there, fans of Rap do not actually hear any hip hop classics constantly like our rock counter parts. I deem it necessary to have more Classic Hip Hop stations so that the youth can learn about their past and develop a real love for the culture. Also, they can be schooled on their favorite artist and how many of their unique styles were born.
I want to thank those hip hop stations that do try to incorporate some old school hip hop into their rotation of music programming (Power 96.5 in Lansing did a throwback weekend for Memorial Day and The Fourth of July). Also I do want to acknowledge the artist that do pay homage to the old school like Missy Elliot (We need new music, Missy), Joey Bada$$, and I want to thank the people who actually go out to support classic hip hop artists by going to the shows.
Solomon is the greatest beatmaker alive (okay not really, but he tries really hard though). Warning Shameless Plug: He also has a radio show called the Urban Groove on 89.7FM and lcc.edu/radio, Sundays from 1AM til 2AM EDT, which officially started on September 21st, 2014.


Soon, the famous soft objects of the painter Dali could become a reality. This is at least the case of the next Samsung smartphone, because the Korean giant has been working for years to develop a foldable phone: The Galaxy X.
Announcing a potential exit for 2018, the date had to be shifted due to the impossibility of keeping this deadline. But far from abandoning its ambitious project, the brand now plans to release its flexible phone for the first half of 2019, according to analysts The Korea Times. According to The Bell, the design of the Galaxy X should be finalized in June.
The technology needed to design this phone will mature in 2019.
This technology is the OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) component, which allows via an overlay of organic layers to produce light without backlighting. This offers the possibility to design flexible surfaces. It is used for TVs, such as LG's OLED TV, and for phones.
According to the Korean newspaper The Investor, two prototypes were presented at the last CES in Las Vegas. The device will consist of two to three OLED displays, each 3.5 inches in diameter for a diagonal of 7 to 7.3 inches unfolded and 4.5 inches closed. The terminal should be accessible even when the phone is retracted.
I need to be sure that we offer the best user experience when we launch a new category.
At this price, it goes without saying that quality is a criterion not to be neglected. Forbes website has announced that this expensive smartphone, still unique, would initially be marketed in South Korea and produced only 100,000 copies. What to reconsider its date put on shelves in our stores.


Great landscaping can instantly improve the value and appeal of your home. Whether you enjoy doing things yourself, or would rather employ professional help, the tips in this article can help you progress towards your landscaping goals.
You must know how annuals and perennials are different. You should also know what plants work best in your area. Make sure to consider seasons when landscaping. You must be aware of this information to ensure that you get the results that you want.
TIP! An excellent landscaping tip for everyone is to compile a list of every material you might need before beginning your project. This can help you to avoid the dreaded problem of starting your project, only to find that you have forgotten to purchase something and need to stop and wait until you can obtain the necessary supplies.
Water your plants with a drip-style system. Such watering mechanisms are simple to install, and provide for more consistent watering. The water is also more efficient, because it is a drip rather than a stream, as would be the case with a hose or sprinkler system.
Have your soil tested before you begin your garden or landscaping project. You will know what to add to achieve the right acidity and drainage for the plants you are planning to use. That will assist you in having plants that are happier and a much more successful garden.
TIP! When planting your garden, ensure you have focal points for all seasons. Select plants that offer visual appeal in summer, autumn, springtime and winter.
Choose the higher quality items over the cheap stuff. In many home improvement stores you will normally find low-quality products. Go to a store that specializes in landscapes. You're more likely to get the help and find the products you need at this type of store. Do not fret about spending money on products, because you need quality products to create a quality yard.
Choose your plant life wisely, as this could severely affect how well your landscaping project turns out. Find out how much sunlight your plants need to thrive. Also make certain that there is sufficient room for the roots to grow and spread. Proper planning will ensure that your landscape is successful.
When planning your landscaping, include a variety of different plants. This is an important step to take to protect your yard in case an insect or disease invades. If you plant the same plants, chances are they'll all be lost. Landscaping with a diverse selection helps keep plants healthy.
TIP! Is selling your home in your plans? When you decide to landscape your home the rewards are very beneficial if you plan on selling your home in the near future, you can get around 100 to 200 percent in returns by doing so. Focus on the front lawn to create added curb appeal, or create a defined outdoor living area in your backyard.
There is no need whatsoever to hire expensive landscapers or designers in order to have an attractive yard. This will cause you to lose a lot of money. However, it can never hurt to speak with landscaper who can set you in the right direction as far as what you should do.
When planning on making some changes to your landscape, you need to pay attention to existing structures before breaking ground. Look at where cables, sprinkler pipes, gutters, air conditioners, and other parts of your home are located so that your new landscaping does not interfere with them. Call your city before digging to ensure underground lines won't be damaged.
It could be hard to plant flowers under any large shade trees you may have. Rather than putting flowers there, think about utilizing ground cover as an alternative. This can make your yard look beautiful, and it's also easily maintainable. Hosta and sweet woodruff are excellent, long-lasting choices for this type of planting area.
Create continuity of you landscape with evergreens and foliage plants. Some plants blossom infrequently and you may find your yard looking empty while you wait for them to perk up again. You should use foliage plants, and evergreen to fill in between beds, keeping your yard green.
If you're designing your landscape on your own, then try out mulch for your flowerbeds. Mulch keeps moisture in the soil so that heat and dry air don't kill your plants. Mulch will allow your plants to use as much water as possible.
TIP! Contrary to what most people believe, it isn't necessary to have a designer or landscaper do your landscape. You'll only be forced to pay an arm and a leg for something you can do.
Add a magical touch to any landscape with these tips for great lawn care and planting flowers and trees. With the right techniques, you can make your home the most talked-about property in town. Start this weekend and watch the beauty unfold.

2017: Port of Bilbao reports 7% rise in port traffic with significant growth in dry bulk
Published by Claire Cuddihy, Assistant Editor
Dry Bulk, Monday, 19 February 2018 09:35
The Port of Bilbao ended 2017 with a 7% traffic growth, which indicates a 2.2 million t increase over 2016. For the port, which is based in northern Spain, this is the greatest yearly tonnage increase since 2006.
According to the Port, the main tonnage increases were in the liquid bulks group, and in goods such as natural gas (+ 811 000 t), gasoil (+ 470 000) and crude oil (+ 277 000). In dry cargo there were significant increases in scrap iron (+ 120 000), iron and steel products (+ 101 000) and other minerals (+ 94 000 t).
Container traffic stood at 604 870 TEUs, with a 1.37% increase. Here, the growth in refrigerated containers (+2%) also stands out, and is in line with the Port of Bilbao commitment to being a distribution centre for perishable goods.
In addition, 5514 pieces classified as heavy loads or project cargo, due to their great weight, length, width or height, were shipped. This figure supposes a significant 23% increase over the previous year Ferry and cruise passenger traffic moved 186 546 people (-2%). There were 123 ferry calls and 61 cruises. The latter figure supposes ten cruise vessels more than in 2016 and a record for the new Getxo cruise maritime station in its opening year.
The European Atlantic is still the main geographical zone with a 41% market share. This is followed by the North American Atlantic and the African Atlantic. By countries, the United Kingdom still stands out with 16% growth, which thus consolidates Bilbao as the leading port in Spain for trade with Britain. Mexico and the US follow as second and third markets.
Turnover rose to €68.8 million, 5.47% more than the €65.2 million invoiced in the previous year, while funds generated reached €37 million.
There was no further bank debt, with net bank debt standing at €139.8 million, 1.08 times Ebitda, thus maintaining, a debt profile much lower than that of the Spanish port system average, which stands at 1.56 times Ebitda.
An additional income of €4 211 166 was received from the European Commission Infrastructure Programme under the TEN-T 2012 Efficient Operations and CEF 2015 Connecting Europe Facilities, corresponding to the work on the First Phase of the Central Pier in the Extension of the Port of Bilbao and to the Pancorbo Port-Rail Terminal respectively.
Throughout 2018, a reduction of €4.1 million in port taxes is scheduled calculated annually in accordance with the valuation of the lands and water of the Port, and a 10% decrease in the basic amount of the goods tax (T-3). The introduction of the lands evaluation is pending approval by the Ministry for Economic Development and the reduction in the goods tax on the publication of the General Law for State Budgets for 2018.

Description: The Graf Spee was on a lonely mission of commerce raiding at the beginning of World War II, accompanied only by the support ship Altmark. The Royal Navy was committed to using every available resource to end the Graf Spee's marauding. A showdown off the coast of Uruguay was in the offing.
Description: Continuation from Shanghai 1939. My first ever singleplayer scenario and second scenario overall. The Nationalists slowly transition their soldiers to the North to deal with the Japanese threat coming out of Manchuria.
Description: The effectiveness of PT boats in the Solomon Islands campaign was substantially undermined by defective Mark 8 torpedoes. Nevertheless, PT boats did achieve some success against Japanese shipborne resupply efforts, dubbed "The Tokyo Express," operating in New Georgia Sound ("the Slot"). Relying on speed and stealth to offset their frailty and lack of firepower, PT boats contributed in many other ways to the success of the campaign. The bravery of their crews is a story that needs to be told and remembered for, truly, "They were expendable."
Description: Arracourt was the largest tank battle involving U.S. forces on the Western Front until the Battle of the Bulge. It has been used as an example of how tactical situations and crew quality can be far more important factors in determining the outcome of a tank battle than the technical merits of the tanks themselves.
Description: The Nationalists, since taking JinZhou, have stocked up enough soldiers for a major offensive. A huge battle between Japanese and Nationalist forces subsequently occurs. The numbers involved are very large. This is the sequel to BeiPing 1940.
This is a huge map, so it may be slow/laggy.
Description: The Japanese threaten the Chinese Nationalist war industry by invading Hong Kong. They want to utilize Hong Kong as a bridgehead for invading GuangZhou. Continuation from the Great Manchurian Offensive.
Description: Historic version of Midway. Our code breakers have revealed Japanese forces with 4 Carriers and an invasion force converging on Midway. This is a golden opportunity to set up a trap and avenge the day of infamy at Pearl Harbour.
Description: The Japanese are determined not to lose Guadacanal and yet again are attempting to both reinforce the island and tempt the US Carriers into battle.
Description: At this stage in the war the Japanese seek to dominate the Coral Sea and cut off supplies to Australia. The key to this is the capture of Port Moresby and the occupation of Tulagi island to protect their Eastern flank. Carrier forces would be necessary to do this. US Task forces 17 and 11 along with Australian naval units supported by Southern Pacific Air Command are detailed to stop the invasions and destroy the Japanese Carriers.
Description: The US invasion of Morocco, the start of Operation Torch.
Description: US forces encounter the Germans for the first time in North Africa.
Description: U.S. Navy task forces are ordered to attack the Japanese installations in the Marshall and Gilbert Islands. Just as our fleet prepares to take its first offensive action in this war, a bitter rivalry has arisen between two of our admirals. Will their envy and hatred actually lead to mutiny?
Description: WWII ALTERNATIVE HISTORY. Losses at Pearl Harbour and Midway put the US on the defence, switching all their resources to defeating the Japanese which they acheive by 1945. Germany does not invade North Africa or the Caucuses but consolidates its hold over Europe, applying extra resources to the Eastern Front, taking Moscow and stablising the Front at the Volga. In the Middle East new large deposits of oil all are discovered, currently controled by the British . The Axis, badly in need of oil, as the Romanian Field were destroyed during the Russian retreat, launch a full scale invasion. The US now decides it is now time to intervene. The race is on for possession of the Black Gold!

Dean Karnazes: the man who can run for ever
Most runners have to stop when they reach their lactate threshold, but Dean Karnazes' muscles never tire: he can run for three days and nights without stopping. What's his secret?

Fri 30 Aug 2013 06.58 EDT
From club runners to Olympians, every athlete has a limit. Scientifically, this limit is defined as the body's lactate threshold and when you exercise beyond it, running rapidly becomes unpleasant. We've all experienced that burning feeling – heart pounding, lungs gasping for air – as your muscles begin to fatigue, eventually locking up altogether as your body shuts down. However, there is one man whose physiological performance defies all convention: Dean Karnazes is an ultrarunner from California and, at times, it seems as if he can run for ever.
Fastest runner dressed as a lobster – and other bizarre marathon records
Karnazes has completed some of the toughest endurance events on the planet, from a marathon to the South Pole in temperatures of -25C to the legendary Marathon des Sables, but in his entire life he has never experienced any form of muscle burn or cramp, even during runs exceeding 100 miles. It means his only limits are in the mind.
"At a certain level of intensity, I do feel like I can go a long way without tiring," he says. "No matter how hard I push, my muscles never seize up. That's kind of a nice thing if I plan to run a long way."
How was your weekend running?
When running, you break down glucose for energy, producing lactate as a byproduct and an additional source of fuel that can also be converted back into energy. However, when you exceed your lactate threshold, your body is no longer able to convert the lactate as rapidly as it is being produced, leading to a buildup of acidity in the muscles. It is your body's way of telling you when to stop – but Karnazes never receives such signals.
"To be honest, what eventually happens is that I get sleepy. I've run through three nights without sleep and the third night of sleepless running was a bit psychotic. I actually experienced bouts of 'sleep running', where I was falling asleep while in motion, and I just willed myself to keep going."
While supreme willpower is a common trait among ultrarunners, Karnazes first realised that he was actually biologically different when preparing to run 50 marathons in 50 days across the US back in 2006. "I was sent to a testing center in Colorado," he recalls. "First, they performed an aerobic capacity test in which they found my results consistent with those of other highly trained athletes, but nothing extraordinary. Next, they performed a lactate threshold test. They said the test would take 15 minutes, tops. Finally, after an hour, they stopped the test. They said they'd never seen anything like this before."
As Laurent Messonnier from the University of Savoie explains, the difference is that your aerobic capacity is a measure of your cardiovascular system performance, while your lactate threshold is your ability to clear lactate from your blood and convert it back into energy.
"If you take a high-level runner and you train that guy for a long time, his cardiovascular system will improve until a certain point where it will be very difficult to improve it further, as it's determined by the heart and the blood vessels. So if you carry on training that guy, you will not improve his aerobic capacity but his performance will still improve, because the lactate threshold is not limited by the cardiovascular system – it's determined by the quality of the muscles."
Your body clears lactate from the blood via a series of chemical reactions driven by the mitochondria in your muscle cells. These reactions transform lactate back to glucose again and they are enhanced by specific enzymes. The clearance process also works more efficiently if your mitochondria have a larger capacity, increasing their ability to use lactate as a fuel.
Years of training will improve both your enzymes and mitochondria and so improve your clearance, but there is a limit to how much you can improve your lactate threshold by training alone. If you inherit these enzymes and a larger mass of mitochondria genetically, your personal limits will be far higher.
Karnazes fell in love with running from an early age, and at high school he began to show endurance capabilities which far surpassed those of his peers. At one charity fundraiser, while his fellow runners were able to manage 15 laps of the track at most, Karnazes completed 105. But in his mid-teens he stopped altogether until experiencing an epiphany on his 30th birthday. Gripped by a powerful desire to run once more, he set off into the night.
After 15 years of no training, most of us would not have been physically capable of getting too far, but Karnazes did not stop until 30 miles later. Although the blisters were excruciating, his muscles showed little sign of fatigue.
"Many elite distance runners will show some improvements in their ability to clear lactic acid from the system due to the 'training effect', but that only goes so far," he says. "The rest, as I am told, is left up to heredity. They say the best thing you can do as a long-distance runner is to choose your parents well!"
However, genetics alone does not tell the full story. Karnazes believes that his lactate clearance abilities could also be down to low body fat, low sweat rate, a highly alkaline diet and low exposure to environmental toxins. Genetics can give you the propensity for a natural advantage but you express your genes differently depending on your environment and your lifestyle.
The intriguing question is whether Karnazes' lactate clearance abilities would be the same now if he had not done so much running at an early age.
"If you take two twins – one grows up in Africa and one grows up in northern Europe – their athletic performance will potentially be very different, because they will express their genes differently as the environment, food, everything is different," Messonnier says.
An interesting experiment could be to repeat the lactate threshold test with Karnazes' brother.
"He plays competitive volleyball but has never really done an extensive amount of running," Karnazes says. "I would be curious if he exhibits some of those same abilities to clear lactic acid from his system."

The orthodontic industry has evolved. There are now quite a few advanced treatment options available and one of them is self-ligating braces.
So, what are these self-ligating braces?
The literal meaning of ligating is to tie up. That's exactly what these braces are all about. These braces work just as the traditional braces, but instead of using rubber bands to secure the wire to each bracket, the self-ligating brackets do that themselves. So, no wires and ties are necessary.
A spring clip on each bracket holds the wire in its place. The clips are then closed to keep the wire securely locked in its place.
These braces make use of a thicker wire to apply more pressure to your teeth. This pressure moves your teeth quicker and more efficiently.
These braces are usually used in the beginning of the treatment to allow your teeth to get used to braces. They make use of small archwire that allows your teeth to move freely with less friction.
But what makes self-ligating braces so good?
Once you are in the clinic, the orthodontist just needs to open and close the door on the braces. Visits are quicker and more efficient.
Self-ligating braces do not use the ligating elastic bands, because of which, the wire in the bracket minimizes the friction and the force required to move teeth.
This reduces the discomfort patients might experience. Although, there is less soreness in the mouth, it doesn't entirely remove it.
Since self-ligating braces are thinner than traditional brackets, they take up less space in your mouth.
As there are no ligatures holding the brackets, there is no fear that the ties will snap or poke inside your mouth.
With traditional braces, the ties may become loose between your orthodontic appointments. This may reduce the pressure they put on your teeth. The pressure is restored when you visit your orthodontist for braces adjustment.
However, self-ligating braces exert the same amount of pressure throughout the treatment and there are no fluctuations in between orthodontic appointments.
Self-ligating braces are known to shorten the time taken to straighten the teeth. The total length of treatment may be reduced by 4 to 6 months. This means that you will take significantly less time to achieve a beautiful healthy smile than your first thought.
The latex material used on elastics and rubber bands in traditional braces trap food, providing a fertile environment for the plaque to build up.
Self-ligating braces eliminate the need for elastics, so there are less chances of food getting trapped. And that means better oral hygiene and less scope for bacteria to thrive.
Self-ligating braces come in both metal and clear brackets. So,if you want to make your self-ligating braces less obvious, you can take the less conspicuous route.
Self-ligating braces offer an advanced bracket system. So, it may come as no surprise that it is a bit more expensive than traditional braces.
You may have an option of clear brackets, but self-ligating braces has a metal wire that is visible.
Though self-ligating braces are relatively discomfort-free, you may experience discomfort while you get adjusted to them. Adjustment period can last for several days.
Use archwires, brackets, and rubber bands to straighten and realign crooked teeth. Use specially designed clips to hold the archwires in place instead of rubber bands.
Rubber bands traps food particles, and this can lead to plaque build-upand decay. It is easier to keep your teeth clean because there are no rubber bands.
Braces that are loud and draw a lot of attention. Braces are thinner, smaller and less noticeable.
More friction and pressure on the tooth. Less pressure and friction are placed on the tooth.
Treatment takes longer. Treatment is quicker.

Like the handholding figures in a John Kennedy sculpture, two art forms — film and sculpture — come together in a special exhibition honoring Palm Springs International Film Festival's 30th anniversary and the artist who designed its award statuette.
Hosted by CODA Gallery and John Kennedy Studio, the opening reception for the exhibition will be held at CODA on Friday, Dec. 14, from 5 to 7 pm, with pianist Andy Cahan playing music from films; refreshments will be served. The PSIFF 30th anniversary special exhibition of movie-themed art and memorabilia continues at the gallery through January 4.
In 1995, inspired by a magazine article about court jesters, John Kennedy (1931-2004) created a sculpture of a ball-juggling jester. Titled The Entertainer and standing 7 feet 3 inches, the bronze work was dedicated at Palm Canyon Theater on Palm Canyon Drive in Palm Springs. In 1997, Palm Springs International Film Festival began presenting festival winners with scaled-down versions (at 13 pounds, heftier as well as more lyrical than the film industry's Oscar award). John Kennedy Studios and CODA Gallery provide the statuettes for the film festival's gala. Gregory Peck presented one of the first Entertainer awards to Lauren Bacall when the festival honored her with its Lifetime Achievement Award.
On Dec. 14, gallery guests will have an opportunity to view John Kennedy sculptures ranging from less than a foot in height to life size, as well as the film festival statuette. Memorabilia including film festival posters and photographs of celebrities holding The Entertainer award also will be displayed.


Starting university is such an exciting time in your life. You'll meet so many new people, and probably party quite a bit. It can also be a very sexually active time of your life. So it's important to remember to stay safe.
Young adults (under the age of 25) are most likely to get an STI, so it is important to use condoms to prevent this as much as possible.
If you are sexually active, it is good practice to get checked for STDs and STIs every 6 months. A lot of infections are asymptomatic, meaning that you could have them and spread them, without knowing because you may not realise it.
You can also check with your GP what they can provide for you in terms of sexual health care.

How the News Media Covered Religion in the 2008 General Election
This report is based on additional analysis of content aggregated and coded for PEJ's weekly News Coverage Index (NCI).
The NCI is designed to provide news consumers, journalists and researchers with hard data about what stories and topics the media are covering, the trajectories of major stories and differences among news platforms. It examines the news agenda of 48 different outlets in five media sectors, including newspapers, online, network TV, cable TV and radio. The findings are released in a weekly NCI report. All coding is conducted in-house by PEJ's staff of researchers continuously throughout the year. The complete methodology of the weekly NCI can be found at https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/about_news_index/methodology.
Main Universe of Stories: This report is based on NCI coding from June 1, 2008, through October 15, 2008. All stories in which religious issues were a significant factor were isolated and further analyzed to locate the role of religion in campaign coverage in four and a half months of news – spanning the time the general election formally commenced to the date of the final presidential debate.
This resulted in a total of 7,592 stories focused on the presidential campaign out of a total of 26,113 stories coded for this period: 584 newspaper stories; 567 online stories; 1,592 network television stories; 3,726 stories on cable news; and 1,123 stories from radio programs.
To ensure that all relevant stories were identified and captured, PEJ researchers began by identifying all stories that were primarily about "presidential bids for 2008," as labeled in the "big story" category. Big stories are particular events in the news that extend over a period of time and are featured in multiple news outlets during the time period under study. For the 4.5-month time period studied, this resulted in 7,592 stories.
Then, to narrow that universe down to stories specifically addressing religion and the campaign, the study took an additional step. All campaign storylines—termed "sub-storylines"—which were focused on religious issues in the campaign (a total of 16 in all) were extracted for more in-depth analysis.
These sub-storylines included: "Obama Muslim Rumors," "Sarah Palin Family/Personal Issues," "Rick Warren Civil Forum," "Abortion as an Issue," "Candidates Reach Out to Religious Voters," "James Dobson's Obama Comments," "Obama Leaves Trinity Church," "John McCain's Relationship with John Hagee," "Rev. Michael Pfleger Comments," "Obama's Relationship with Jeremiah Wright," and "Pastors Preach Politics from the Pulpit," "New Yorker Cover Controversy," "Same-Sex Marriage as an Issue," "Stem-Cell Research as an Issue," "Obama's 'Bitter' Comment," and "Dali Lama Meets with McCain."
This process resulted in a total of 283 stories: 23 newspaper stories; 26 online stories; 46 network television stories; 124 stories on cable news; and 64 stories from radio programs.
A previous report, which analyzed religion coverage in the primaries by assessing how stories were framed using the "broad story topic" and "presidential campaign topic" variables, indicated that a focus on the political process made up 81% of coverage. The rest comprised myriad substantive issues, including religion, which made up only 2%.
Although the current study uses a different variable as its chief measure, "sub-storyline," the "broad story topic" and "presidential campaign topic" variables yield the following results: 67% of the coverage focused on the political process between June 1 and October 15, including the horse race. Stories framed as religion received 2% of the coverage.
Finally, in an effort to analyze the ways in which individual candidates received different religion coverage, the lead newsmaker variable was used. If 50% or more of a given story is about one person, that individual is credited as the lead newsmaker.
As a result, the study included stories devoted primarily to religion and the campaign:
On the front page of newspapers
In the entirety of commercial network evening newscasts
The first 30 minutes of network morning news, the PBS evening news, NPR's Morning Edition, and all cable programs
The top 5 stories on each website at the time of capture
The basic NCI codebook codes for topic at three different levels, and also includes data coded, Story ID number, story date, source, broadcast start time, broadcast story start timecode, headline, story word count, placement/prominence, story format, story describer, and broadcast story ending timecode, geographic focus and campaign mention. The complete methodology for the weekly NCI has further details on the coding system and inter-coder reliability (https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/about_news_index/methodology).

I'm a member of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church and a Benedictine oblate with St Meinrad's Archabbey in Indiana. The BPB is ideally suited for oblates and anyone following a rule in secular society – it is adapted to the unpredictable time constraints that surprise us when we least expect it.
And yes, as a Catholic — as you said. However, as I use Orthodox and other liturgical texts, I would prefer that no one be condemned or maligned. Our Studite monastics, for example, published a service in honour of the martyr for union with Rome, St Josaphat, but they significantly toned down and deleted a number of phrases where the Orthodox were maligned as "schismatics" and the like. And they published this work as a separate item. With this ecumenical vision in mind, they are publishing the full range of Orthodox liturgical texts – and the Orthodox are purchasing them for their own use. The BPB is too precious a prayerbook not to be shared with all Christians, Evangelical, Catholic and Orthodox.
The psalter arrangement of the BPB is not only ingenious, it represents the very BEST of the Western liturgical psalmody tradition. As we know, Benedictine and other monastics would stand for the Gloria at the end of each psalm or psalm-section (the BPB divides long psalms and that really helps one to keep one's focus in praying them). Afterwards, they would collect their main thoughts in a final prayer which is contained in the excellent collect-prayers.
Also, the antiphon used at the beginning and the end (and also, if we wish, a few times during the psalm itself, by way of a refrain) is a very ancient practice and the Assyrian Church of the East has always used antiphons which it calls "Farcings." The antiphon recited after the Glory be calls to mind the main spiritual theme of the psalm and prepares us for the Collect.
I've never seen this format in any other psalter and this alone makes the BPB a "must have" for every Christian, nomatter what his or her denomination.
I invoke God's blessing on the compilers of the BPB and thank them from the bottom of my heart and soul!
Q: I noticed that in the Seasonal propers most Sundays have a long list of Psalms. Are those meant to be chanted on that day? Or just during that week?
A: There are various ways of using those Psalms, depending on what Psalm schedule you use. If you use the "Flexible Psalm Schedule" on p. 98 (2nd edition), then some or all of the Psalms in the seasonal propers can be used on Sundays and Feasts.
Q: Is there anything in the BPB that can be copied (and then destroyed), such as for a church retreat?
A: No copies of the BPB are allowed, but the texts and melodies themselves are public domain, so you can type them up yourself if you want to. The reason for this policy is to encourage purchase of the BPB on the one hand (which took a lot of effort to produce), and to allow others to make free use of the church's texts and music on the other hand.
Comment: Thank you again for your development on this book. Praying the daily office during the deployment was a spiritual life-saver. Long story short: religious support in Iraq was miserable and the stress of my particularmission was unimaginable. The psalter and the calming melodies of the chant was invaluable. Words cannot express how thankful I am for having that resource.
Q: I'm unclear as to what precisely is meant by 1st and 2nd Vespers. I assume that 1st Vespers happen on the evening prior to a given feast, and that 2nd Vespers happen on the evening of the feast (e.g. 1st = evening on Dec 24th, 2nd = evening on Dec 25th). The BPB specifies proper Hymns and/or Magnificat Antiphons for 1st and 2nd Vespers on the Sixth Sunday after the Epiphany (Transfiguration), Ascension of our Lord, and Sts. Peter & Paul. My question specifically is: If the intended time to observe 1st Vespers is the evening prior to the feast day, then what Epistle reading is used in that service? If it's the Epistle reading of the feast day, then is that reading to be repeated at 2nd Vespers? Or do I have this all wrong, and 1st and 2nd Vespers are simply different prayer times of the same day? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
A: Your first hunch was correct. 1st Vespers is the eve of the feast or Sunday, 2nd Vespers is on the feast or Sunday itself. The BPB doesn't specify which Vespers the Epistle should be used for, but following Reformation-era precedent, I think it would be best to use it at 2nd Vespers. For 1st Vespers, you could simply use the appointed weekday reading. Or if 2nd Vespers won't be celebrated for some reason, thenuse the Epistle of the Sunday or feast at 1st Vespers.
Q: I have a question regarding the Calendar. On page 413, regarding Epiphanytide, the BPB states: "The propers for the 6th Sunday after Epiphany (Transfiguration) are used on the last Sunday after Epiphany." My question is, What, then, do you do when Easter (and thus Septuagesima) occurs early and there is only one Sunday after the Epiphany (as was the case in 2008)? Is Transfiguration observed on that day, or do the propers for the First Sunday after Epiphany take precedence?
A: In the resources for The Lutheran Hymnal (1941) it says that if there is only one Sunday after Epiphany, then the Transfiguration is not observed. They don't tell us what is observed, so it is assumed that the propers for the first Sunday after Epiphany are used and then Septuagesima follows. Lang in Ceremony and Celebration repeats this, as does Lindemann in The Sermon and the Propers, as does Reed.
Just received the CD I ordered containing the realization of the material in the BPB. It came in only three days. I only wanted to write a brief note sharing my gratitude for your hard work. It resounds to the glory of God and I know it will be a wonderful addition to my prayer and devotional life. We have a great God!
Comment: It's been two months since I received "The Brotherhood Prayer Book." What a blessing it has been for me. Purchasing the CD with the book has made quite a difference. I downloaded all the files into my ipod. I sing along, slowly learning the proper chants. Also, I love that it's not easy at first, but that it takes time. Thank you both for this gift you have given to the Church. You are to be commended for this. I LOVE IT!!!
Comment: I attended a small prayer retreat last week at which my family and I were introduced to the Brotherhood Prayer Book. What a treasure of chant and resources for the praying church and her pastors!
Thanks be to God for Rev. Frs. Benjamin Mayes and Michael Frese for making this book available to the church today. Blessed are you among men!
I know some of you are way ahead of the curve on this book, but having been introduced to it most recently, I simply cannot put it down (and I am glad I have the summer months to learn more about it).
If you have not acquired this book yet, I could not commend it to you highly enough.
And no, neither Benjamin nor Michael has paid me for this plug... yet. :-) It seems I have found a treasure that I had been searching for all my life.
Q. I recently purchased the Brotherhood Prayerbook and have found it very useful. I appreciate the Psalm-prayers very much. I wonder if you can tell me more about their origin. Do they come from one of the ancient European liturgical rites (Ambrosian, Mozarabic, Roman), the Reformation era, or the post-Vatican II era? How are they used liturgically, traditionally? Does the celebrant pray them whilst the Psalm is sung?
A. The Psalm-prayers are taken from Neale and Littledale's Commentary on the Psalms. These 19th century editors gathered prayers and comments from ancient liturgies and service books. Thus, many of the Psalm-prayers are from the Mozarabic Breviary, but there are some also from various medieval writers.
The rubrics of the BPB allow the celebrant to recite the Psalm-prayer aloud at the end of the Psalm. A better practice, however, is the following. After each Psalm or portion of a Psalm, there should be a pause for reflection on the content of the Psalm. During this pause, people may pray the Psalm-prayer silently if they so desire.
Q. In the order of vigils, the Venite is listed on p. 20. How does the chanting go for the invitatory when it is interspersed within the psalm, in particular whenever you only do the second half on the invitatory? e.g. The invitatory for Easter is "The Lord is risen indeed, alleluia: O come, let us worship Him. What notes do you use for "O come, let us worship Him," used after verse 2? Do you simply use the second half of the psalm tone again? Twice in a row?
If speaking the Venite, follow the instructions just as printed on BPB, pp. 20-21. If singing the Venite according to a Psalm tone, always repeat the entire Invitatory, not just the second half.
Q. Is it proper to sing the Venite or the Te Deum to a canticle tone? You state that the Gospel canticles could be sung to a psalm or canticle tone.
A. That would be fine. Neither the Psalm tones nor the canticle tones historically belong with the Te Deum and Venite, but I see this is a good way to give these texts a musical form until such time as one'smusical ability has developed to sing the difficult melodies.
Q. Is there a good guide for choosing psalm/canticle tones? Does it depend on the season? In Easter use VIII or something like that?
A. There's no ancient arrangements of tones by season that I'm aware of. However, I've added a guide to seasonal Psalm tones at http://www.llpb.us/Resources_for_Prayer_Book.htm which I've taken from the SELK.
Q. In the BPB there are special propers for Easter Monday and Tuesday. What propers do you use the rest of the week? The ones for Sunday? Or do you just keep using the versicle and collect for Easter Tuesday?
A. I'd go back to the Sunday propers. In the Roman rite, there are different propers for each day of the week, but English-language Lutheran service books generally cut that down to just Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. I'd treat Monday and Tuesday like saint days that "interrupt" the Sunday propers.
Q. I've been trying to use some of the features of BPB this Eastertide that I have not used before, like the Alleluia antiphons and the Te Deum at Morning Prayer instead of the hymn during Easter week. Do you have any suggestions as to how to keep one's concentration while praying the Psalms? I usually do three Psalms (or one Psalm if it is dividied up into three parts) and I get to the end of the Psalm many times and cannot remember what I just sung. It's really annoying.
Q. How would you work the Old Testament Canticles into daily prayer? What I have been doing is using the Benedictus and Magnificat at Morning Prayer and Vespers. I use Psalm 119 for the Psalm every day at Midday Prayer (I just keep praying through it, three sections at a time). If I used OT Canticles for the Canticle at Morning Prayer or Vespers, do you still use the antiphon proper to the week? Or, if you are using the Weekday propers, you wouldn't use the antiphon provided there I wouldn't think because it is taken from the Bene. and Magnif. Any suggestions?
A. The OT Canticles should be treated like Psalms, not like the Gospel canticles. The Gospel canticles have their own special status. I'd suggest using the OT canticles just at Morning Prayer or Vigils. The Roman Catholic Liturgy of the Hours, by the way, uses OT canticles as Psalms at Morning Prayer, and NT canticles (but not the Gospel canticles) as Psalms at Evening Prayer. The BPB, however, does not include any NT canticles except the Gospel canticles.
Comment: "To brothers Ben and Michael, many thanks for your work on the Brotherhood Prayer Book. It arrived today and I can now pray without having to be on the internet.
For the rest: order this book!
It is first of all a treasury of devotional material: Psalms, Canticles, Prayers, Litanies, Prep for Confession. (One might say its simplest use).
Then it is also a prayer book for all seven canonical hours with ordinaries and propers for each, as well as psalm and scripture lectionaries. There is a great sanctoral calendar as well as propers for a variety of saints, martyrs, doctors, the BVM, etc.
I have prayed the Roman Liturgy of the Hours (editing all the while). I have prayed using Sauer's Book and the Daily Office. I used For All the Saints. But I think this is the one, brothers, it has everything one needs (including hymns!!!!).
My only difficulty is not knowing Gregorian notation, and since my musical ability is small, that will be a learning curve. However, since the texts are all Jacobean English, one can easily sing the liturgy using the TLH tunes. Likewise the hymns, while they are pointed for Gregorian chant, are in a variety of simple meters (mostly LM) which can easily be sung to familiar hymn tunes.
I have found that a good office book needs a little bit of study and learning. I won't say the BPB is simple; it can be, but its richness makes for complexity, too. There's just tons here to learn and discover.
Q. I notice in the Weekday Propers there is no Da Pacem for Sunday. Why not?
A. Primary reason: that's the way it was in the Breviarium Lipsiensae. On Sunday at Midday Prayer, you just pray the Collect of the Day (and whatever other collects you want).
A. Here's what I'd recommend. Use the seasonal propers through the week except during green seasons. In green seasons, or when no seasonal propers are given use the weekday propers. For example: no hymns are given for Pre-Lent, so use the hymns from the weekday propers or from your hymnal. In green seasons, use the seasonal propers on Sunday. The Benedictus and Magnificat for Sunday from the weekday propers can be used ad libitum.
A. To give you something to grow into. Actually, the Breviarium Lipsiensae had Latin Compline, and we wanted to include something in Latin, to help preserve our Latin theological heritage.
Q. Does the note for Vigils mean you always pray Psalm 95 and pray the Invitatory only on Sundays and feasts?
A. No. Psalm 95 is the invitatory, and we're recommending that you pray it on Sundays and Feasts. If you want to omit it on weekdays, go ahead.
Q. I think I can understand the C & F "key signatures." Do the clefs move up and down because of the change in mode? Not all of the tones begin on middle C, (as on the modern notation page) do they? Playing the tones in modern notation and in Gregorian sounds the same—but in different keys.
A. The chants can be sung in any key. The C & F key signatures give you the relative context for singing. They move up and down on the staff depending on the range of the music. For plunking tones out on the piano, using the modern notation tones may be the most helpful.
Q. I'm struggling a bit with praying the psalter. Could you give me a simplified version of the explanation of how the notations upon the text fit the places in the music? Where do the (parenthetical) notes fit?
A. Check out BPB, p. 13-15. The "simplified version" of this will be the recordings. You'll be able to listen to how it's done and learn by doing. The parenthetical notes are the flexa, only sung on verses that have the dagger (looks like a cross).
Comment: Let me commend the work you (and your co-conspirator) have done on The Brotherhood Prayer Book. It is the most complete volume of the Divine Office for Lutherans that I have ever seen.
Q. I have a question regarding the Latin Compline. Why are "resurrection of the body" and "life everlasting" disconnected from the balance of the Creed, and the "Amen" omitted?
A. Latin Compline was taken straight out of the Breviarium Lipsiensae (see the introduction on the significance of that book). The Brev. Lips. follows an ancient custom of saying the majority of the Our Father and the Creed silently. The ending of each is recited aloud, like a versicle, leading one into the preces (the series of responsive versicles). Therefore neither the Our Father nor the Creed have an Amen, since they are incorporated, as it were, into the preces.
Comment: You have done a most remarkable service to the Church of the Augsburg Confession in providing such a stately and lovely setting of the Divine Office. My copy arrived this afternoon in the post and I've been studying it since. I'm very impressed how faithful you've been to the spirit of the traditional Western office, and yet indeed with an Evangelical betterment here or there along the way. May the Lord grant this Prayer Book to bring many of our pastors to the comfort and joy of a disciplined life of prayer and meditation upon the Word!
As much as I can, I try to pray four offices: Morning Prayer, Midday Prayer, Vespers and Compline.
Actually, the more I do pray the hours, the more I am persuaded that such prayer and meditation on God's Word is really an important part of our job. Won't the ministry that we conduct, our shutin visits, our preaching and Bible study, all greatly benefit from being inundated with the Word?
And I am simply so lazy by nature that I need the structure of the Office in my prayers. And I have found that my words are generally flighty and halting; better to the let the Scriptures and the church's liturgy supply my lips with things to pray.
Comment: I'll go on the record in commending this fine work. It really is an outstanding work. If you enjoy solving Breviary puzzles, you will not be disappointed. You have to turn every which way to locate the propers for the service, and that's as a Breviary should be. It means they didn't leave out the goodies by streamlining in the way of Lindemann or Sauer, or to a lesser degree FATS (what a horrible acronym!). The cool thing is that you can really get as technical and detailed as you want, or keep it relatively simple. The joy is in the versicles and responsories, etc., which bring the church year to life in the devotions. The Gregorian notation is an absolute pain in the posterior - for which I am very thankful. It really does take work. I'm fumbling along, but it is something that I have always wanted to know how to do. Now I've got no excuse.
I've managed to pick up a little from the MP3s on the website, but I find the chanting of the Psalms difficult. I am not really sure where to break, change notes, etc. (About all the skill I have is chanting the introits and Psalms with LW tones.) Still, I like the Gregorian sound and I hope to learn it. Maybe we'll fly these guys down here to the South and have them show us how. In the meantime, I speak much of each service. The hymns are easily singable to common tunes and the Magnificat and Benedictus can be sung to their TLH tunes.
And of course, I must comment on the nice touch that allows you to have the commemoration of the Most Holy Virgin after each office—thoroughly Evangelical and yet a solidly Catholic touch.
Comment: Here's where the Anglican Breviary falls short, yes? My understanding is that it is thorougly Roman, just in English. Is this correct? In which case Mary and the Saints will have more given to them than is proper. It would be nice to have all the readings, but perhaps this is where a good book like "Every Day Will I Bless Thee" or that daily sermon book of Luther. I managed to score a few volumes of the supplemental volumes for the Roman Office of Readings which had some choice stuff from the fathers.
Again: I've used Christian Prayer (the shortened Roman Liturgy of the Hours), The Liturgy of the Hours (the full Roman breviary); Lindemann; Sauer; For All the Saints; LW; TLH. But I think this is the one. In short, I've dated a lot of prayer books, but I've proposed to the BPB!
Comment from the Editors: We intentionally omitted the invocation of the saints which we found in other resources (Anglican, Roman, and Liberal German High-Church Lutheran). We praise the saints for the gifts God has given them, but we have avoided direct address to them. The dividing line between praise in the form of direct address to a saint who has died (and of course now lives) on the one hand, and invocation on the other, is razor thin. We've tried not to tempt others to go too close to this line.
Q. I have somewhat mixed feelings about the approach you are using and maybe you can help me and allay some of my concerns. I'm wondering why you guys are not simply using the hymnal and instead substituting materials of your making, or I should say, editing. Now, I am fully aware that the materials we have are not the same as some areas in 16th century Germany, but what is the reason for not using our own church's resources and materials and instead swapping them out for other, no matter how good they are?
A. First of all, I just want you to know that I do not intend for the Brotherhood Prayer Book to replace our Synod's official hymnals. My congregation is a TLH congregation with HS98 in the pews, and my senior pastor and I have been trying to prep the congregation for LSB. I don't see the BPB as a substitution resource, but an additional resource, not unlike Lindemann's "The Daily Office," published by CPH in 1965. German Lutherans in our day have many of these sorts of resources, some official, some unofficial.
Q. Third, why the Gregorian chanting and settings? It seems that this adds a rather complex musical "requirement" on top of what is already a rigorous order of prayer-life. I'm wondering why the "felt need" as it were to go this route instead of using settings and tones already available in TLH, LW or the forthcoming LSB?
A. Gregorian chant is and was a hobby of mine even before I studied for a year in Germany. There, I was surprised and delighted to find that the SELK congregations generally sing their introits and Psalms according to Gregorian Psalm tones. After doing some research, I discovered that CPH also had published Gregorian chant materials in the past, including Friedrich Lochner's "Der Hauptgottesdienst" in 1895. I wanted to encourage this beautiful form of music for people in our day and age as well. I realize that it is a difficult form of music to learn. We've tried to set up the BPB so that it can be used at various levels. Some parts will be accessible to all, others will be usable only by experts. Of course, this is how it is with almost all musical works.
I don't quite understand what you mean by a "requirement." There is absolutely no "requirement" that anyone buy our book or use it. But if they do, they may learn to love the Gregorian Psalm tones that Luther and many Lutherans over the centuries have valued.
I hope this answers your questions. Please let me know whether or not it does. A little essay I wrote on daily office books in the Lutheran church from the time of the Reformation to the present may help you to see why we did what we did. You can download this essay at http://www.llpb.us/PDFs/Breviaries%20article.pdf.
"And now that they are delivered from the unprofitable and burdensome babbling of the Seven Canonical Hours, oh, that, instead thereof, they would only, morning, noon, and evening, read a page or two in the Catechism, the Prayer-book, the New Testament, or elsewhere in the Bible, and pray the Lord's Prayer for themselves and their parishioners, so that they might render, in return, honor and thanks to the Gospel, by which they have been delivered from burdens and troubles so manifold, and might feel a little shame because like pigs and dogs they retain no more of the Gospel than such a lazy, pernicious, shameful, carnal liberty!"
A. Isn't that a great quote? I've read that at the beginning of each of our LLPB retreats so far. The answer is like this: In Luther's experience, being forced to pray all eight canonical hours every day was unprofitable and burdensome. But I doubt he would say that praying, singing Psalms, reading the Scriptures and the like is unprofitable and burdensome. Whether you pray once, twice, or 25 times a day, is adiaphora. Our goal is not to force people to observe the canonical hours of the Medieval church, but to give them resources so that they can pray according to ancient liturgical forms and music.
The crucial difference is this: we force no one to do this. What makes the canonical hours unprofitable and burdensome is false doctrine and a lack of faith, which comes from seeing it as a work that must be performed in order to gain merit. This can happen no matter how many times a day one prays, if one is doing it for the wrong reasons.
Q. If one were to pray ALL of the canonical hours, that would involve using Midday Prayer four times. How would this be done?
A. The BPB is set up most fully for four services a day: Morning Prayer, Midday Prayer, Vespers, and Compline. If one wants to use the one-week schedule, it is still quite do-able. Ancient prayer books often re-use the same texts for various purposes. With that in mind, here are some suggestions.
You would use the one-week Psalm schedule (BPB, p. 60). You would also use Midday Prayer four times. In this case, the four times would be called "Prime, Terce, Sext, and None."
Readings: At Sext, use the reading from p. 34. At Prime, Terce, and None, use a verse from Sunday's Gospel or the Gospel of the Feast.
The Responsory: At Sext, use the weekday responsory from pp. 264-295. At Prime, the seasonal or Saint's Day responsory from pp. 296-384. At Terce and None, a short hymn of your choice (or omit the responsory).
with its antiphon and versicle from the Weekday Propers, pp. 264-295.
Q. In that regard, could you post suggested times during the day when it is appropriate to pray each of the offices?
A. The following is the schedule from St. Augustine's House, Oxford, MI (http://www.staugustineshouse.org/). Prime would need to be added sometime between Lauds and Terce.
Sext & None prayed privately or at an announced time.
Q. When there is a minor festival or a commemoration, and I observe it at Morning Prayer with the collect and responsory and hymn, do I continue to pray the same collect at the other offices as well? Or is that also according to my evangelical freedom?
A. If you celebrate a saint's day in Morning Prayer with proper readings, responsory, hymn, and antiphon for the canticle (other options being included or not) from the saint's day propers or common of saints, then you're treating it as a saint's day. Those propers, including the collect, are used throughout all the offices (except Compline, of course, which never changes unless the seasonal propers say so).
If you don't use the saint's day propers or common of saints within Morning Prayer, but only commemorate the saint after Morning Prayer, then the collect you'll use at all the offices is the collect from Sunday. It's not a saint's day, just a normal feria.
Q. My question has to do with the Order of Compline. The rubrics state that the three Psalms are 4, 91, and 134, but other Psalms may be used. Is that in addition to the three Psalms? The reason I ask is because here at Concordia [University], I have the responsibility of setting up for Compline on Tuesday, selecting guys to lead and selecting hymns and Psalms. I was wondering if it would be appropriate to use the Seven Penitential Psalms during the season of Lent. Would this be appropriate?
A. The traditional Psalms for Compline are, as noted, 4, 91, 134. And a traditional hymn is the one given in the BPB. This is the practice we recommend if you're able to have Morning Prayer and Vespers somewhat often. In a collegiate setting such as your own, I'd suggest that you use 4, 91, and 134 as often as possible, but using other Psalms instead of the traditional ones is not something that anyone should complain about. (Try to avoid morning Psalms, "In the morning I cry to you," etc.) Using the penitential Psalms at Concordia University's Compline during Lent is fine if you can't do this publicly at Matins or Vespers. On the other days of the week, as you recite Compline privately, use 4, 91, and 134. You have to know your context and what people will be able to receive with joy.
Q. Isn't the future third person singular of "invocare" supposed to be "invoca-B-it"? (I thought it was a "b" when I checked Wheelock). How come TLH (and the BPB) and lots of other places (like the online Historic Lectionary site) have "invoca-V-it" [as Latin title for the 1st Sunday in Lent]? Is it an either/or kind of spelling? One classical, one ecclesial? Seems like too many have the latter for this to be a mere spelling error or Latin mistake. (Granted, the "b" and "v" are right next to each other on the keyboard. I know the Romans invented Latin with a Word Processor. On the bulletin inserts I use from Scholia, they have "invocabit" and my Head Elder (who knows a bit of Latin) was congratulating me on getting it right over against TLH.
A. The change of the title for the first Sunday in Lent from "Invocavit" to "Invocabit" is a change of recent times. At the time of the Reformation, Lutheran Latin liturgical texts listed the title as "Invocavit." (See Lucas Lossius, "Psalmodia," 1569, fol. 54r-v). That's perfect tense, even though our English translations have the future tense, saying, "He shall call upon me."
The title for the Sundays in Lent are taken from the first word of the Introit Psalm in Latin. Latin Bibles of the 16th century, or whenever the Introits were established as the common custom of the universal Church, must have had Ps. 91:15 in the perfect tense (Invocavit), because that's how it shows up in the liturgy.
"Invocavit me, & ego exaudiam eum, eripiam eum, & glorificabo eum, longitudine dierum adimplebo eum. Qui habitat in adiutorio altissimi, inprotectione Dei coeli commorabitur. Gloria... Invoca..."
"Invocabit me, et ego exaudiam eum: eripiam eum, et glorificabo eum: longitudine dierum adimplebo eum. Qui habitat in adjutorio Altissimi: in protectione Dei caeli commorabitur. v. Gloria Patri."
As you can see, the Roman liturgy has updated the tense of the first word. The propers from the LCMS's new Lutheran Service Book have changed the title for Lent 1 to "Invocabit" as well. That's why your bulletin inserts don't agree with TLH and the Brotherhood Prayer Book.
In the end, this is a curious triviality which does not have much positive or negative bearing on the Christian faith. It's not a big deal. But it may demonstrate that many of today's Lutheran liturgical scholars are not reading the older Lutheran liturgical texts, but may be taking their liturgical cue from modern Roman sources.
Q. When there are Festival Weekdays (like Easter Monday, Easter Tuesday), which Collect would be prayed the rest of the week? The Collect from the Sunday?
A. Yes, the Collect from Sunday.
Q. What are the "Preces?" The rubrics indicate that they are to be omitted in Eastertide. My Latin is poor, but that has something to do with the prayers, no? But the Preces aren't listed by "Preces" in the services.
seasons). Sorry for rubrics which are hard to harmonize. That's what happens when you make several revisions of the Prayer Book before releasing.
A. If you're following the four-week schedule, pray the entire section as one Psalm, and then pick one or more of the Psalm-prayers to pray (ad libitum). If you're following a different schedule, such as the one-week schedule, then pray the appropriate section as one Psalm, and pray the appropriate Psalm-prayer(s).
Of course, in your evangelical freedom you could break up the Psalm into 8-verse sections. If you do this, you could sing the G.P. and antiphon after each section, or pick one of the verses from each section to be an antiphon for that section.
Q. I had some questions about the Offices for the Triduum. (1) For the Collect of the Day, would you also pray additional collects and the concluding collect (morning or evening)?
A. Only the Collect of the Day aloud. Other collects silently after the office ad libitum.
Q. (2) Is Psalm 51 sung at Compline? In the notes on p.324 it says that Psalm 51 is to be sung at Morning Prayer and Vespers. But in the lists on p.324, Psalm 51 is also listed for Compline.
A. It is said without salutation and "Let us pray," but you still pray the Compline collect.
This stark and simple form of the office is quite appropriate for the sad days of the sacred triduum. In this form, the office becomes the prayer of one who is afflicted, fasting, sorrowing—like the women and the beloved disciple at the cross. It forms a fitting contrast with the rich complexity and beauty of the office during Eastertide.
Q. Just out of curiousity, in the "Vigils" section of the prayerbook, what would one use for the lessons in between the nocturns?
suggestions for what to read is there in the rubrics. 1) From Scripture, 2) From the fathers, 3) From Scripture (from the Gospel on Sundays and feasts).
Comment: Tonight there were FIVE of us standing in the darkened church, singing Compline at 10:00. Three of the laity have told me they are seriously thinking about trying to make the retreat in April. Today at 4, I had a person join me in for Vespers. Unbelievable. Our people are STARVED for this prayer life. I was starved for it too. Thanks again. It's been a blessing.
I actually haven't scheduled anything - some folks just saw me in Church praying and asked about it. I live right next door, by the way. So I told them that I generally pray Morning Prayer around 8 and Vespers at 4, and Compline at 10. Noonday prayer I pray whenever I can from 9 to 3, almost always at home. So these folks started showing up at 10!!! Two of them ordered the Book itself yesterday, I believe. They've downloaded the MP3's and are working on learning them, which puts a little pressure on me, because I can sing Compline mostly, but I still use the TLH tone for the Nunc Dimittis, and they wrinkle their brows a little, but I haven't had time to learn the other!!! I also am very weak on the other psalm tones, but I'm working on them as I can.
Anyway, it's been the greatest Lent for prayer and renewal that I have ever lived through. I had picked up Zion's fasting guide and followed that and combined it with the arrival of BPB on Ash Wednesday and it's been simply spiritually refreshing. How I needed this! Thanks again.
Comment: I've been reading through the prayerbook all day. Absolutely fantastic! This will surely be the standard and the classic prayerbook for all Lutherans who follow a disciplined life of prayer. As others have posted on your website, I've used Christian Prayer (editing on the fly), Shorter Christian Prayer, Sauer, and countless others. Each prayerbook lacked something—whether it be doctrinal, lack of the complete Psalms, lack of musical notation, lack of complete offices, etc. You seemed to have captured it all and the CD makes it all the better. Great job and great service to the church catholic.

How to answer the Prosecutor's
You received representation about elimination of infringements of the legislation of the Prosecutor's office, and you don't quite know how to answer it. You must specify in this view, why made the violations listed in, if they really are the place to be, or to say I don't see any violations. The law does not entail for you in the second case, the immediate negative consequences.

- Federal law "On the procuracy of the Russian Federation".
Read the submission of the Prosecutor and check it for compliance with article 24 of the Federal law "On the Procuracy of the Russian Federation". The Prosecutor has no right to demand from you that is not specified in this article. Also check who signed the submission. It has the right to sign only the Prosecutor or assistant Prosecutor, or other employees of the Prosecutor's office to present to sign can't. If signed by the latter, the representation has no legal force and may leave it without consequences.
If the submission has been signed correctly, and requirements correspond to powers of attorney, then you have two choices. First option: you are the answer to performance. Usually it is given about two weeks or a month, in some cases less. In it you indicate why admitted violations of the law. Or can you answer that to prevent violations and did everything under the law. The second option is not to respond to the submission of the Prosecutor.
If the Prosecutor is not satisfied of your answer, or violations you continue to allow it, it is likely that you will cause, or the Prosecutor on the conversation with the AUSA, or directly on the court. In the first case, nothing to worry about. This is just a conversation: the Prosecutor will ask questions in fact violations, and you answer. Don't worry, no jail, etc. does not threaten you.
If you arrive a subpoena, then get ready for the process according to the General rules. The only caveat would be that to act in court as plaintiff's attorney. It is best to gather as much evidence. Carefully read the legislation you violated. Prosecutors often seek for good statistics, but because sometimes "reaching" some of the articles or evidence.

Bengaluru: The match 14 of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2019) will be a battle between the Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Tuesday (April 2). With few minutes left for the match to begin, Rajasthan Royals won the toss and chose to bowl.
Though this would be the first match between the two this season, both teams are in a similar situation, having lost all three of their matches.
While RCB had one of their worst starts of IPL campaign this season as they were bundled out for 70 in the opener against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), RR choked at crucial moments in their three matches.
In RCB's previous match against SRH in Hyderabad, they were outclassed as Jonny Bairstow, and David Warner hammered RCB bowlers all over the park. They both hit centuries. This match between the two may not encourage the audience as both the team has not won any previous matchs.


In a company that employs more than 50 different nationalities, the fact that Anita Arts speaks five languages comes in handy. Fifteen different countries are represented in her own team of 25 people alone. Liberty Global is a patchwork of mergers and acquisitions in Northwest and Central Europe and Latin America. Up until two years ago each country was very much an island, each with its own operational management, processes and IT system. That has been changing rapidly, not least due to the recruitment of Arts to shape the supply chain centralisation process.
Telecom & Cable is a fast-moving market of 'eat or be eaten'. There is large-scale consolidation yet newcomers are also entering the market," explains Anita Arts animatedly. This extremely dynamic environment is precisely why she is in her element at Liberty Global. The British company is owner of Unitymedia KabelBW (Germany), UPC (The Netherlands, Republic of Ireland, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary and Romania), VTR (Chile) and Liberty (Puerto Rico). The corporation recently acquired Virgin Media, plus it holds almost 60 percent of the shares in the Belgian company Telenet. Furthermore, if the Competition Commission and the European Commission approve, Ziggo will soon be added to this list. The overwhelming majority of the 36,000 employees are based in Europe, which is where more than 90 percent of the company's 17 billion dollar revenue is generated, under the supervision of the operational head office in Schiphol-Rijk, The Netherlands. In addition to her own team, Anita Arts also indirectly manages the other supply chain employees – the equivalent of around 250 full-timers. They supply the infrastructure and the boxes that enable the company's 24 million customers to access television, internet and telephone services. With a potential customer reach of almost double that, Liberty Global still has plenty of growth opportunities.

"Marjorie Prime" at Theatre in the Round
Now playing at the oldest theater in Minneapolis: the 2015 Pulitzer Prize finalist Marjorie Prime. This is the third show in Theatre in the Round's abbreviated five-show 70th season, which is an eclectic mix of traditional works and more interesting pieces like this. In just 80 minutes, the trippy and futuristic Marjorie Prime explores issues of aging, dementia, grief, depression, suicide, artificial intelligence, and complicated family dynamics. It's a fascinating and layered look at a multitude of relevant topics, well done by this cast and creative team. Continuing weekends through March 6 (click here for details).
The Marjorie of the title (played by Kristen Mathison) is an octogenarian woman (born long ago in 1977) suffering from dementia. To help care for her, her daughter Tess (Katie Wodele) and son-in-law Jon (David Denninger) have acquired a new bit of technology called a Prime. Which is a sort of computer hologram to talk to her and keep her company that knows everything. Or rather, it knows and remembers everything you tell it. And it can take on the form you choose, so Marjorie's Prime is a young version of her deceased husband Walter (embodied by Corey Boe). Tess and Jon tell the Prime about Marjorie's life, but leave out painful memories like the death of a child. Tess has a complicated relationship with her mother, and is skeptical about the Prime impersonating her father. As Marjorie's health declines, Tess grapples with her own aging and mortality, and the future she sees for herself.*

Kari Steinbach directs this strong cast with clarity and precision, but also allowing space for the great range of emotions in our characters (living or otherwise). Not to give away any spoilers, but Walter is not the only Prime in the story, and it's fascinating to see the subtle changes from one form to another. All of this plays out in Marjorie's chic and modern cool-toned living room/kitchen, with coordinating set pieces placed around the in-the-round space offering good views all around (my favorite term I've heard about acting in this space: backting, i.e., acting that projects emotion even from the back). Characters are dressed in casual and cozy athlesiure wear, except for Walter Prime's more formal attire, and lighting cues help to clarify the shifts in time and mood. (Set design by Devyn Becker,Jordan Harrison, costume design by A. Emily Heaney, and lighting design by Peter Gustafson.)
When I saw the play a few years ago, I was left with a series of questions that I'm not any closer to answering now: "Are we our memories? Are we just a collection of data? What happens when we lose memories? What happens when those memories, that data, is transferred into something else, does it become us? Can artificial intelligence replace humans?" And maybe because I'm three years older, or because of the excellent post-show discussion with an expert on dementia, I'm also left with questions about the aging process, how we treat and care for our elderly population, and how to assess quality of life. So many questions, like only a well written, concise, and well executed play can raise.
See Marjorie Prime at Theatre in the Round in Minneapolis' West Bank neighborhood, Fridays-Sundays through March 6.

According to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, they actually have several artifacts that have been to space.
However, this is the first that was taken to space by a Hall of Famer.
"The Pro Football Hall of Fame is thrilled to have the opportunity to preserve and display for fans the football graciously donated by Blue Origin and Michael Strahan," Hall of Fame President Jim Porter said. "Constance Schwartz-Morini, Michael's longtime business partner and the CEO of SMAC Entertainment, called me with this creative idea, and we are proud to be part of commemorating the historic moment of Michael being the first Pro Football Hall of Famer to go to space."
Test positive after quarantining? Here's what the CDC says to do
"It was an honor to fly Michael Strahan to space on New Shepard," said Michael Edmonds, Senior Vice President, Strategy, Marketing and Sales, Blue Origin. "We're thrilled this space-flown football will be displayed in the Hall of Fame to inspire current and future generations to access space for the benefit of Earth."

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Twins home opener is just around the corner. And there will be ten new food items to tempt your taste buds at Target Field this season.
The Twins say the ballclub has several first-time partnerships with local restaurants and food trucks. The debut menu items include Darby's Bacon Tot Dish — tater tots, cheese sauce, bacon, jalapenos and pico de gallo salsa.
How about the College Daze Bloody Mary which comes with a slice of cold pizza. Then there's the Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich, new from Andrew Zimmern's Canteen — fried chicken, grilled pineapple and spicy chili slaw.
The ballpark's executive chef, Kurt Chenier, says if fans only come to one game, they'll have a hard time picking from the new menu items.
