Researchers approved the COVID-19 vaccine for children in a rush.
Pallavi
Jul 27, 2021 3:29:00 PM
The MHRA followed a rigorous review of the vaccine's safety and effectiveness in children aged 12 to 15 before approving the vaccine.
As part of an investigation, Logically reviewed thousands of online messages sent between the Health Advisory and Recovery (HART) team members. In the chat records, we found several baseless and misleading claims related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, members often discussed their scepticism towards the COVID-19 vaccines, especially related to vaccinating children. One member was found stating that "right now the train is hurtling toward vaccinating children because of mass hysteria over this virus, and the question is how to stop it." However, the claim that vaccines were approved in a rush is false as the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) followed a "rigorous review" of the vaccine's safety, quality, and effectiveness in children aged 12 to 15 before approving the vaccine.
HART, an online association, describes itself as a "group of qualified U.K. doctors, scientists, economists, psychologists and other academic experts." Its website claims a "lack of open scientific debate in mainstream media" related to COVID-19. Logically obtained access to thousands of messages and hundreds of documents shared between HART team members and found several members to be vaccine-sceptic. The group has been attempting to lobby U.K. M.P.s to gain political influence within the COVID-19 discourse.
After analyzing chat records, Logically found that HART members regularly questioned the effectiveness of vaccines and firmly opposed vaccinating children. In addition, members often discussed ways to prevent vaccinating adolescents and falsely claimed that the researchers approved the COVID-19 vaccine for children in a rush.
Before expanding the authorization of the vaccines in adolescents, Pfizer-BioNTech, the vaccine developers, conducted three phases of clinical trials in children. First, in July 2020, the manufacturer recruited 2,259 participants between the ages of 12-15. Pfizer's official website mentions that the participants "demonstrated 100% efficacy and robust antibody responses." Following the results, in June 2021, MHRA approved the authorization of the COVID-19 vaccination in children aged 12-15. The governing body explicitly states that "no extension to an authorisation would be approved unless the expected standards of safety, quality and effectiveness have been met." However, despite MHRA's approval, the vaccination requires the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) approval. The JCVI is currently advising to vaccinate children at an increased risk of severe COVID-19 disease. This list includes children between 12 and 15 with severe neurodisabilities, Down's syndrome, immunosuppression and multiple or severe learning disabilities.
Several countries, including the U.S., France and Singapore, have begun vaccinating children. As of July 26, 2021, the U.S. has safely vaccinated 57.5 percent of children above 12. The vaccines have proved to be safe and effective in children and adults.
The COVID-19 pandemic has given rise to a lot of potentially dangerous misinformation. For reliable advice on COVID-19, including symptoms, prevention, and available treatment, please refer to the World Health Organization or your national healthcare authority.

war selber mal einige Jahre Mitglied im Oric Club Velbert.
Habe einen Atmos und 3 Oric 1.
interessiert. Hat aber zeit bis nächstes Jahr.
ich habe noch genug Teile da für ein paar weitere Laufwerke. Ich kann Dir gerne eins zusammenbauen oder wenn Du selber Löten magst auch nur die Teile inkl. Platinen schicken.
Zum schreiben der Firmware wird ein PIC, Xilinx und ein EEPROM-Brenner benötigt.
I assume you are aware that there's a million (ok, says 10-50) people who would be very happy to have their own cumulus, there's been some people on the forum trying to source the components but did not manage to get really far in their project.
I would definitely pay to have one made, and pretty sure many on the forum would also do it. Do you think it's something that would be doable or would that be too much work/time for you?
Anyway, no matter what, kudos for managing to complete the project, Retromaster had let me put the original diagrams on our SVN server (http://miniserve.defence-force.org/svn/public/oric/hardware/cumulus/) but apparently it was difficult to understand – at least it's what some hardware guy told me.
This Demo is really cool. I like it to see how much this old computer can do.
Just a minute ago i posted in your forum so we ca see if someone is interested in get a cumulus.
Jep. I build my cumulus from your SVN source and it is difficult an i think there are a few errors in the sourcecode for the bootloader.
I think that is no problem. So please look in the forum from defence force.

#NextNominee petitions President Trump to nominate a pro-life woman for the next Supreme Court vacancy
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Young adult anti-abortion advocates organized by Secular Pro-Life have launched #NextNominee, a campaign to fill the next Supreme Court vacancy with a pro-life woman. The centerpiece of the campaign is a petition hosted at petitions.whitehouse.gov, a federal website that allows concerned citizens to voice their concerns directly to White House officials. If the petition receives at least 100,000 signatures in the next 30 days, the Trump administration will respond.
Link to petition: petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/nominate-pro-life-woman-next-supreme-court-vacancy
Link to #NextNominee website: NextNominee.com
Although approximately half of American women oppose abortion, no pro-life woman has ever served on the nation's highest court. Current Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan, and former Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, have all been consistent votes in favor of the abortion industry.
"Supreme Court opinions claim women 'rely' on abortion to succeed in the workplace, which is insulting. My success does not depend on anyone's death," said Secular Pro-Life president Kelsey Hazzard, who is also an attorney.
The majority of American women support common-sense abortion limits. According to a December 2017 poll by Marist University, 62% of American women support a ban on abortions after 20 weeks (5 months) of pregnancy—an issue that is likely to be heard by the Supreme Court. The survey also found that 51% of American women either want abortion to be illegal in all cases, or legal only in cases of rape, incest, and to save the mother's life; that 60% oppose the use of taxpayer funds to pay for abortions; and that 52% believe abortion does more harm than good.
"Discrimination starts in the womb," said Beth Fox, a #NextNominee spokeswoman who has a rare genetic condition called Myotonic Dystrophy. "My entire life people have used the name of choice to justify their belief I never should have been born. I, like many others, am fed up with it. We need a female pro-life Justice who will stand for equal rights for all."
"The pro-life female voice needs to be heard in this country, and what better way than to start from the top!" added #NextNominee spokeswoman Gina Mallica. "Pro-abortion does not equal pro-woman."
There are currently no vacant seats on the Supreme Court. Justice Anthony Kennedy, the "swing" vote responsible for many 5-4 decisions in favor of abortion, has been the subject of retirement rumors for years. He is 81 years old. Justice Ginsburg, age 85, is the oldest Justice on the Court. The third oldest, 79-year-old Steven Breyer, is also pro-abortion.
President Trump has pledged to nominate anti-abortion Justices to the Court and has publicly released his short list of potential nominees. There are six women on the short list: Hon. Amy C. Barrett of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals; Hon. Allison Eid of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, in the position previously occupied by Justice Gorsuch; Hon. Britt Grant of the Supreme Court of Georgia, whose nomination to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals is currently pending; Hon. Joan Larsen of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals; Hon. Margaret Ryan of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces; and Hon. Diane Sykes of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
Full Text of Petition
Four women have served on the Supreme Court, and all four have consistently ruled in favor of the abortion industry. They have even endorsed the misogynistic notions that women rely on abortion for professional success and that women cannot "enjoy equal citizenship stature" without abortion.
The majority of American women support common-sense abortion limits, and we deserve judicial representation. A pro-life woman on our nation's highest court will be a living rebuke to those who falsely equate abortion with women's empowerment.
We therefore call upon President Trump to nominate a pro-life woman to the Supreme Court at his earliest opportunity.
The #NextNominee campaign is coordinated by Secular Pro-Life, an organization that unites people of every faith and no faith to promote the right to life. It is also endorsed by Pro-Life San Francisco, a non-partisan, non-sectarian group of pro-life Millennials connecting families with resources and resisting the abortion lobby in the Bay area, and New Wave Feminists, an anti-abortion feminist organization that believes all humans should be free from violence for the duration of their lifetime.

Guest blogger Matt Austin is a second-year MBA student at Thunderbird School of Global Management focusing on the intersection of international development, entrepreneurship and venture capital. He spent this past summer advising a group of Endeavor High Impact Entrepreneurs in Turkey on their capital raising and expansion efforts.
The buzz surrounding social enterprise in international development circles has been loud and growing louder.? Hybrid business models that blend private sector and non-profit approaches are becoming increasingly prevalent.? Development NGOs, multilateral institutions and government agencies are all looking for ways to incorporate more private sector approaches into their programs.? In response to this trend and growing demand from socially-minded students, business schools are adding many social entrepreneurship and BoP-focused courses.?
At the Net Impact Conference, a whole series of panels focused solely on social entrepreneurship and innovation.? The kick-off panel for this track asked an important question:? how much of this buzz surrounding the benefits and value of social enterprise is just hype and how much is reality?
The "Hype vs. Reality: Impact and Potential of Social Enterprises in International Development" panel was moderated by Elizabeth Wallace Ellers, the founder of The Globalislocal Fund.? The panel of social enterprise experts included Anne Marie Burgoyne, Portfolio Director for the Draper Richards Foundation, Lisa Nitze, Vice President of Ashoka's Global Entrepreneur to Entrepreneur Program, and Brian Milder, Director of Strategy and Innovation for Root Capital.
Lisa Nitze of Ashoka began the panel discussion by explaining her view of how development industry participants must move out of their traditional "silos" to make real impact.? The key to this vision, according to Lisa, is collaboration.? Governments, corporations, universities, citizen groups and NGOs must all work together.? In her view, "citizen sector organizations" will be the engines behind the major systemic changes needed to generate significant development impacts.? However, consistent with her theme of collaboration, she stated that these citizen sector organizations must network and partner with all other industry participants to create the change they seek.
After Brian and Anne Marie had an opportunity to explain the Root Capital and Draper Richards Foundation (DRF) models, Anne Marie highlighted three organizations that demonstrate the promise of social enterprise: VisionSpring (formerly Scojo Foundation), Living Goods and One Acre Fund, all of which have been profiled previously on NextBillion.net.? She cited two common reasons for the success of these organizations: first, they help on the individual level but also positively impact the community; and second, they provide easy access to their goods and services (e.g., eye glasses, seed and fertilizer, etc.) by building innovative distribution channels and bringing them directly to the people.?? She was optimistic that if these organizations and others like them can prove their models and show their long term viability, they can attract additional capital to this sector and eliminate a major constraint to the growth of social enterprises.
Brian Milder then described how Root Capital is trying to prove the business case of its model to draw major financial institutions into the rural emerging market finance space.? Root Capital expects that its lending business will generate positive returns by sometime in 2011, which will be a major step in demonstrating the power of its model.? You might ask why Root Capital would be trying to encourage banks to enter the sector and potentially take away its business.? Well that is essentially the systemic change they are trying to create through their work.
The panel then focused on the trends occurring in the social enterprise space.? Anne Marie stated that she is seeing a better, more pragmatic use of technology, rather than organizations simply throwing new technology at problems.? She also remarked on her observations of an increase in product innovations that can be sold in the global market.? Lisa said that she has witnessed more corporations looking at social entrepreneurship and hybrid value chains as part of their business model.? Brian then highlighted the proliferation of investment funds into the social enterprise space.?
A question was raised in the audience regarding the use of a hybrid structure for a social enterprise that involved pairing a for-profit entity with a not-for-profit entity.? Despite the existence of examples of successful hybrid structures such as that employed by Agora Partnerships, the panel expressed some skepticism.? They had concerns about the challenges of dealing with different stakeholders with divergent interests and the potential for lack of clarity on the mission.? Although there are clearly more complexities in a hybrid structure, it also provides access to capital and support from a broader set of stakeholders than either a pure for-profit or not-for-profit model.
The conversation then turned to the much discussed issue of metrics and impact assessment.? All of the panelists talked about the difficulty of utilizing metrics to measure social impact, but also stressed their importance.? Anne Marie brought up One Acre Fund again as an example of the importance of collecting data early on to build a baseline for future evaluation.? Indeed, the organization has collected a significant amount of data from their initial 30 clients regarding nutrition, food consumption and the like, which has proven to be invaluable to One Acre Fund in both improving their model and demonstrating their impact to stakeholders and potential funders.??
Overall, the panel was a very interesting examination of the current state and future of social enterprise.? Given the make-up of the panel, there was clearly a shared belief in the importance of social enterprise in international development.? However, the question of whether all of this buzz is hype or reality was never directly answered.? As a "recovering" attorney, I am accustomed to seeing things in shades of gray and believe the answer lies somewhere in the middle. ?Social enterprise is clearly a very important piece of the development puzzle and will likely be one of the main drivers of innovation in development.?
That being said, the reality has yet to catch up to the hype.? There are a lot of big questions that remain unanswered, including how to manage human resource constraints, how to achieve scale and how to bring more of the resources of the private and public sectors to bear in this space.? Nevertheless, given the talent that is moving into the social enterprise space, I expect the gap between hype and reality to narrow quickly and am excited to see the results.


DUBAI: Talks between Pakistan and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded successfully on Thursday, with the IMF agreeing to release $518 million by end of March as the next tranche of the three-year $6.6bn Extended Fund Facility (EFF) programme.
"The mission and the Pakistani authorities have reached staff-level understandings on a Memorandum of Economic and Financial Policies on the sixth review of the program, which, upon approval by the IMF's Management, will be discussed by the IMF Executive Board.
"Upon completion of the review, SDR 360 million (about US$518 million) would be made available to Pakistan," said the outgoing chief of the IMF Mission to Pakistan Jeffery Franks.
Newly-announced Chief of IMF Mission to Pakistan, Herald Finger, will replace Franks after the talks.
At a jointly held press conference with the IMF staff in Dubai, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar reiterated that there would be no increase in gas and electricity prices.
Pakistan also informed the IMF of its expenditure of Rs. 150 billion on the implementation of the National Action Plan (NAP) as well as repatriation of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).
Also agreed upon was Rs.60 billion in tax cuts for Pakistan, while it was decided that the target for tax cuts should reach Rs. 2750 million by June.
Dar said that Pakistan's foreign exchange reserves have increased to over $15 billion, entitling the country to receive subsidised loans.
However, due to the price reduction of petrol in the country, tax revenue decreased to Rs. 68 billion.
"Tax revenues were below the second-quarter indicative target by about 0.1 percent of GDP due in part to legal challenges to some revenue measures and to the fiscal effects of the plunge in international oil prices," said a press statement from the IMF mission.
"While progress has been made in addressing the structural impediments to higher and more inclusive growth, important challenges remain, such as steps to enhance the independence of the SBP, permanently resolve energy sector deficiencies, complete the legal framework for deposit insurance, and privatize or restructure public enterprises," noted the IMF.

A womans mother dies, and at the funeral she meets a man that she immediately falls in love with. He has no relation to the family whatsoever, and she hasn't ever seen him before. She leaves the funeral, and realizes that she has no way of contacting him. A week later she kills her sister. Why?
surely it's the vicar...

The common saying that with risk there is reward is never more true than when someone is about to go under the knife for cosmetic procedures. Any type of surgery, invasive or otherwise, can be risky; it is important to have the best Miami cosmetic surgeon in your corner for the desired outcome. Aside from having the best plastic surgeons in Miami perform your desired cosmetic procedures, you need to understand the side effects and risks you run having them done. This is especially true when planning on getting cheek lifts, eyelid surgery, brow lifts, and any other cosmetic procedures that involve the face.
The main side effects of getting facial cosmetic procedures done are bruising, discoloration, and swelling, causing pain to the area that was worked on. These are standard side effects that accompany almost all facial cosmetic procedures. Plastic surgery Miami physicians will be able to provide helpful tools and medication to reduce the side effects, making the healing process a little more bearable. This is usually done with pain medication and continual use of ice packs to take down the swelling. The recovery time for any of the cosmetic procedures will vary, but most will require at least a few weeks.
While the side effects of getting facial cosmetic procedures are low, the possible complications are what really need to be thoroughly thought through before committing. Making sure you have a skilled Miami cosmetic surgeon is the best way to reduce the risk of complications. Scars, infection, and loss of sensation are the most common complications that can occur after cosmetic procedures. While these complications are rare, it is best to know all possible outcomes before to committing to any procedure.

Beer Remains the Preferred Alcoholic Beverage in the U.S.
by Justin McCarthy
Four in 10 alcohol consumers say they most often drink beer
30% prefer wine, while 26% opt for liquor
62% of Americans drink alcohol, consistent with historical trend
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Americans who drink alcohol continue to say they most often choose beer (40%) over wine (30%) and liquor (26%). Beer has typically been the preferred alcoholic beverage in Gallup's trend.
The latest results are from a July 5-9 update of Gallup's annual Consumption Habits poll. Gallup has found that beer is most popular among men; this year, 62% of male drinkers say they prefer beer, compared with 19% of female drinkers. Less-educated and middle-income Americans also tend to choose beer.
For the past two decades, at least three in 10 drinkers have said they prefer wine, peaking at 39% in 2005. Wine was slightly less popular in the early to mid-1990s. Women are significantly more likely than men to prefer wine, at 50% vs. 11%, respectively. This beverage is also preferred more among college-educated adults.
The 26% of drinkers who name liquor as their beverage of choice is the highest in Gallup's 25-year trend, but similar to the 24% recorded in 2004. The percentage naming liquor has typically been closer to 20%. Future measurements will help determine whether the current figure marks the beginning of a trend toward an increased preference for liquor.
More Than Six in 10 Americans Consume Alcohol
The majority of American adults consume alcohol at least occasionally, with the current 62% figure nearly matching the 63% historical average in Gallup's trend dating back to 1939. The percentage of Americans who drink has been fairly steady over nearly eight decades, with a few exceptions. The drinking percentage held near 70% in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The figure dipped below 60% at several points between the 1930s and 1950s, as well as in select polls from 1989 to 1996.
Meanwhile, 38% of U.S. adults totally abstain from alcohol. That figure has remained below 40% since 1997.
Americans are about as likely to consume alcohol as they have been for the past eight decades. Many of the Founding Fathers enjoyed beer, and it remains the most popular alcoholic beverage in the U.S. today. The brewing industry has seen tremendous growth in recent decades. Americans have thousands of breweries to choose from in 2017, compared with fewer than 100 in the early 1980s.
According to the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, spirits increased their market share in 2016 compared with 2000, which may reflect the slightly increased preference for liquor in this year's poll. Continued tracking of Americans' consumption will determine if this is a momentary fad or a turn toward a greater preference for liquor over wine and beer.
Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted July 5-9, 2017, with a random sample of 1,021 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. For results based on the total sample of national adults, the margin of sampling error is ±4 percentage points at the 95% confidence level. All reported margins of sampling error include computed design effects for weighting.

In U.S., Moderate Drinkers Have Edge in Emotional Health
U.S. adults who drink one to 14 drinks per week are less likely than nondrinkers and heavy drinkers to have been diagnosed with depression in their lifetime. Moderate drinkers are more likely to experience positive emotions.
One in Five Americans Say Moderate Drinking Is Healthy
A slight majority of Americans believe drinking alcohol in moderation has no effect on one's health, while among the rest, 28% say moderate drinking is bad for you, and 17% say it is good for your health.
Drinking Highest Among Educated, Upper-Income Americans
Roughly eight in 10 upper-income Americans and U.S. college graduates say they drink alcohol, compared with only about half of lower-income Americans and those with a high school diploma or less.
Americans Open to Drug-Free Pain Treatment Over Opioids

Leading From Above The Line is a Principle-Grounded Approach to Personal Development that was developed by Dr. Theodore U Ferguson specifically, to address the leadership challenges in rapidly transforming societies. Its aim is to build more responsible behaviour in the private and public lives of participants.
Anchored in the belief that all human beings have the potential to be creative and to achieve way beyond their usual day-to-day performance levels, Leading From Above The Line transforms the lives of participants towards the release of their full potential for the good of themselves, their families, their organizations, their countries and for humanity in general.
The philosophy recognises that there is a sharp dividing line between what is morally acceptable and what is unacceptable and by taking participants on a journey of self-discovery to find their true inner power, we can develop leaders of high ethical values, who live and lead from above the moral line.
These three monthly retreats are held after the Self-Discovery Retreats. They build on and sustain changes in individual and group behaviour.
These help participants become more aware of how to release their full leadership and creative potential. Participants gain a greater awareness of themselves, their human potential and the potential of others, knowledge of the nature of humanity and how to lead in a principle-grounded and nourishing manner.
These one-day events allow individuals to periodcally retreat from the busy-ness of their lives to better reflect on their true intentions and determine the corrective actions they need to make to improve their lives. Introspective Retreats are open to all members of the public. In Trinidad and Tobago, in partnership with the Arthur Lok Jack Graduate School of Business, we have been able to host over 60 of these retreats at no cost to the public.
Embracing Change: we introduce participants to the inevitability of change and to ways of anticipating and handling change in their private lives, their organisations and societies.
A two-week residential programme followed by three monthly Leadership Strengthening Retreats. These awaken youth to their human potential and the positive contribution they can make to the development of society. The programme builds their inner strength to discover and sustain fulfilment of their life's purpose.

Being health conscious does not just involve the food you eat and how often you exercise. A healthy life encompasses all aspects of your life, food, work, clothing, household goods and more. So, if you eat organically why would you not also want to buy organic clothing or bedding? There are less organic sustainable brands out there for buying bedding, but did you know that Amsterdam is lucky enough to have one on its doorstep?! But do any of you know the company? Let me introduce you to Yumeko.
The word Yumeko is from the Japanese word 夢 (yume) "dream" combined with 子 (ko) "child". Yumeko was set up to provide eco-friendly and organic bedding to the Netherlands and is now expanding further into the rest of Europe. The founders realised there was a big gap in the market for organic bedding, which was also stylish and modern. The bedding is practical and super comfy, which is the most important thing when it comes to getting a good nights sleep. They sell a wide range of products to suit everyones needs, from sheets and pillowcases, quilts and quilts to mattresses and mattress toppers. Also, they sell lovely home comfort items like wool throws, cotton nightwear, cosy dressing gowns and hand made slippers. Everything you need to make your bedtime as relaxing as possible.
Yumeko searched the world for the most beautiful and durable natural materials to ensure top quality at a fair price. All products are organic and / or fair trade certified and have passed their rigorous selection process. You will not only feel the difference, but you can also make a difference by purchasing from Yumeko. All of their honest and eco-friendly products are specially made by craftsmen in India, the Netherlands, Germany, Portugal, Austria, Turkey and Peru.
The GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification ensures that their cotton and wool are purely organic. The entire chain, from cotton plants and sheep to duvet and comforter, meets the strictest organic standards. You can be sure that they are produced organically from the farm to your bedroom.
The Fair-trade certification guarantees that the cotton farmers and craftsmen who make their products are paid fair wages. They get a pension and health insurance and work normal working hours. Women are treated the same as men in the cotton cooperatives, from voting rights to equal pay.
I chose some new cotton satin sheets for my bed in white. They are lovely and soft but yet breathable due to the 300 thread count, perfect for the warmer and humid summer months. There is nothing better than sliding into bed with fresh organic cotton sheets! I can't wait to get some more!
So, if you are looking for some new organic and fair-trade bedding for your home why not check out Yumeko's online store or you can follow their Instagram account.

The Personal Lives of Forgotten Trinkets
Krutika Pathi
A photographer explores the emotional connections of mementos that change hands at Dallas estate sales.
This post is part of a CityLab series on wastelands, and what we squander, discard, and fritter away.
In an average week, Norm Diamond frequented as many as 10 estate sales scattered in various parts of Dallas, Texas. Perusing thousands of possessions left behind by previous homeowners, he photographed the ones that struck him. Spanning 15 months, the project started in March 2015. The result is a poignant series of images capturing the soul of wasted items—one-time cherished possessions, now left to collect dust and money from those keen to newly reclaim them as their own.
Wasted spaces, wasted buildings, wasted efforts
Before becoming a full-time photographer, Diamond had a career in radiology—a profession that requires a kind of investigative seeing. In his new book, What Is Left Behind: Stories From Estate Sales, he brings the skill of an observant doctor to survey discarded objects, from a toilet-paper holder and vintage Playboys to a wedding-night negligee and unrequited love letters.
Estate sales have become a common way for people to dispose of family members' possessions after they die or move to assisted living. To get rid of the clutter, Diamond says, third-party companies come in and get rid of all the things they think won't sell. Then they look up how much the objects left might be worth, and put on a sale.
"I came upon an estate sale by chance, and one of the first items I saw was this photo of a man on a bedside table in the room—presumably, he had been the owner of the house at one time—with a price tag of $2.50 stuck on it," he says. "And that set something off in me—beyond the sadness and poignancy of these objects left behind, there are glimpses into lives lived and the cycle of human history."

Soon, Diamond was Googling estate sales within 20 miles of his home in Dallas, finding dozens to choose from at any given time. He jokes that Dallas is "the center of the universe for estate sales."
At one house, Diamond found old letters being sold for a dollar each. He stopped and read through many of them before photographing one—"it was the saddest of the lot, it touched me the most." A letter from a spurned lover dated June 1917, the image—like many others in the series—invokes a kind of voyeuristic curiosity.
Wedding Night Negligee (© Norm Diamond)
These are deeply personal photos that tell deeply personal stories. Look at the image of wedding night negligee, delicately spun in whispers of net and lace: It's hard not to feel the melancholy and nostalgia in some of Diamond's photos, as viewers wonder whatever happened to the woman who once wore this to bed.
Other objects inspire a bit of laughter. A toilet paper holder for five dollars, for example, or a comprehensive Playboy collection. "The man running the sale asked $750 for the entire collection and refused to sell individual copies," Diamond writes in the book.

Diamond's photography chronicles the emotional debris of wasted possessions and also locates a sense of community. Photographs taken across various estate sales can be mistaken for just one. Many of the photographs evoke Dallas, but it is the Dallas of 1960, 1972, or 1986—each home frozen in time and representing a cultural time capsule. Objects include a plate featuring the face of President Lyndon Johnson with fishhooks on it, a stack of Stetson cowboy hats, and an old copy of the Dallas Morning News with the headline "Thousands Pay Homage to Martyred President," referencing the assassination of JFK.

"These are wasted items, but they preserve something too—I look at the picture of the newspaper and it brings back the memory and feelings of those alive at the time," Diamond says.
All these possessions left to waste, according to Diamond, are truly just lost items ready for a new incarnation. By being recovered in these sales, they are records of people's lives that can be preserved in new settings. He stored a yellow toy airplane from one sale under his son's bed because the object told a story of a child somewhere and "there's value in that."
Soon, objects like this airplane may find a new home, he says, as gallery curators have shown interest in showcasing them. "It's moving on to another life cycle," he says.

Delegation of monastics of the Coptic Church …
Delegation of monastics of the Coptic Church visits Orthodox holy places in Moscow
Fr om August 24 to 26, 2021, a delegation of abbots and monks of the Coptic Church monasteries, who are on a visit to Russia at the invitation of His Holiness Kirill, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, visited churches and monasteries in Moscow.
The program began with a visit to the Novospasski Monastery (the New Monastery of the Saviour), where they were warmly welcomed by the father superior - Metropolitan Dionisy of Voskresensk, chancellor of the Moscow Patriarchate and the first vicar of Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia. Metropolitan Dionisy personally took the guests fr om Egypt on a tour of the monastery, speaking about its historical sights, including the burial-vault of the Romanov noblemen. The pilgrims venerated the main shrines of the monastery - the miracle-working Icon of the Mother of God the Queen of All, the Icon of the Saviour Not Made with Hands and the Icon of the Most Holy Mother of God Hodegetria, as well as prayerfully honored the memory of the monastery's former abbot Archbishop Alexis (Frolov), as well as renowned monks and those who suffered martyrdom there in 1920s-1930s during the godless persecutions.
In honour of the delegation, Metropolitan Dionisy gave a reception. He greeted the guests on behalf of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia and the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church, saying, 'We are very glad to welcome to Russia our fellow-Christians from Egypt - the blessed land that gave birth to great founders of monasticism. The heritage of the fathers of the Egyptian Patericon is of special importance for our spiritual tradition. The Coptic Church, just as the Russian Church, is also a Church of martyrs and confessors of the Christian faith, including those who martyred in the 20th and 21st centuries. The blood shed by martyrs is the power of our gospel witness today'.
The head of the Egyptian delegation, Bishop Bigol, Abbot of the Elmeharic Monastery in Asyut, warmly thanked His Eminence Dionisy for the warm welcome and asked to convey greetings and good wishes of the Primate of the Coptic Church, His Holiness Patriarch Tawadros II, to His Holiness Kirill of Moscow and All Russia. 'His Holiness Patriarch Tawadros II gives a considerable attention to the development to relations with Christian Churches in the whole world. However, of the greatest importance for us today is dialogue with the great Russian Orthodox Church, the guardian of the faith and spirituality of Holy Rus'. The Russian spiritual tradition is very close to our Coptic tradition and we can always feel this closeness; it stands above the borders dividing us', he said.
The Egyptian delegation presented Metropolitan Dionisy with an Icon of the Holy Family, who, as is well known, had to stay in Egypt for about three years to escape from Herod's persecutions. About six months out of these years, the Divine Infant, the Host Holy Virgin and righteous Joseph stayed in a cave in Al Muharraq, wh ere a monastery was built later, of which Bishop Bigol is the abbot. The brethren of the Novospassky Monastery were also presented with Icons of the Ven. Macarius the Great and other Egyptian saints.
The guests visited the Patriarchal Convent of the Intercession, which became the place of their accommodation during their stay in Moscow. The delegation venerated the honourable relics of Blessed Matrona of Moscow, who in recent years has become known and venerated in Oriental Churches. They were also introduced to the work of the orphanage for girls and the convent's farm. Bishop Bigol and his party were given a hearty welcome by the mother superior of the convent, Sister Feofania (Miskina) and the nuns.
The same day the Coptic delegation visited the Sretensky Monastery in Moscow. The father superior of the monastery, Hieromonk Ioann (Ludishchev) introduced the guests to the history and today's life of the monastery and showed its great shrines among which is a particle of the relics of the Ven. Mary of Egypt. The fellowship continued during a common meal after which the Egyptian delegation visited the Sretensky Theological Seminary.
On August 25, the guests from Egypt came to the Ss Martha and Mary Convent of Mercy, in which they were given a warm welcome by Mother Superior Elisabeth (Pozdnyakova) and the sisters. They venerated it shrines kept in the cathedral church and were introduced to the convent's social projects.
The guests also visited the churches of the Moscow Kremlin, Red Square, the Cathedral Church of Christ the Saviour, the Vysokopetrovsky Monastery (High Monastery of St Peter) and met with a group of students of Moscow higher education institutes - representatives of the Coptic community of Egypt.
In the evening of the same day, the delegation visited the Donskoy Monastery, wh ere the representatives of Patriarch Tawadros II were received by the abbot, Metropolitan Feognost of Kashira, chairman of the Synodal Department for Monasteries and Monkhood of the Russian Orthodox Church. His Eminence cordially welcomed the delegation from Egypt pointing to the importance of continuing such visits for a more detailed mutual introduction to the history, today's life and rich spiritual experience of the Coptic and Russian monastic traditions.
The guests visited the monastery necropolis and the Great Cathedral in which they venerated the Don Icon of the Mother of God and the relics of St. Tikhon the Patriarch of All Russia.
In the morning of August 26, the delegation visited the St. Daniel Monastery in Moscow and venerated its shrines. They were warmly welcomed by the abbot, Bishop Alexy of Solnechnogorsk, with whom the guests had a long talk.
After that the guests went to the Metropolis of Tver to continue their visit to Russia. They will also visit holy places of the Metropolises of Novgorod and St. Petersburg and some monasteries in the Russian North.
The delegation included His Grace Bishop Bigol, Abbot of the Elmeharic Monastery in Asyut – head of the delegation; His Grace Bishop Sawerous, Abbot of the St. Tomas & St. Baktor Monastery in El Khataba; His Grace Bishop Metawas, Abbot of the St. Virgin Mary Mountain Monastery in Akhmim; His Grace Bishop Aghabios, Regent of the St. Bishoy the Great Monastery in Wadi El Natrun; His Grace Bishop Mekhail, General Vicar in Cairo; Rev. Hieromonk Kyrillos Anba Bishoy, Secretary to His Holiness Pope and Patriarch Tawadros II (St. Bishoy Monastery in Wadi El Natrun); Rev. Hieromonk Tawadros Elmoharraqy, Elmeharic Monastery in Asyut; Rev. Hieromonk Dawoud El Antony, Representative of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the Russian Federation; Monk Macarius El Thomasy, St. Tomas & St. Baktor Monastery in El Khataba; Monk Youssef El Akhmimy, St. Virgen Mary Mountain Monastery in Akhmim; Monk Botros El Makary, St. Macarius the Great Monastery in Wadi El Natrun; Monk Zeus El Makary, St. Macarius the Great Monastery in Wadi El Natrun; Monk Mercurius El Makary, St. Macarius the Great Monastery in Wadi El Natrun; Monk Mercurius El Makary, St. Macarius the Great Monastery in Wadi El Natrun; Monk Markos El Makari, monk of St Macarius the Great Monastery; Dr. Anton Milad, Special Representative of the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate.

Rowell Fund/ICT Pledge: We pledge that 85% of all donations to the Rowell Fund for Tibet will be distributed as grants in Tibet, India, Nepal and elsewhere. 15% of donations will cover expenses of the International Campaign for Tibet, which runs the Fund.

Throwback: Ladies would you kiss this daniel?
As shared by the singer on Instagram by the Singer: Ladies, would you kizz this Daniel?
This was a long time ago, when the singer, Born Anidugbe Oluwatobiloba Daniel, professional called Kizz Daniel was on his grind trying to do music. The singer is seen with Music producer Sarz.
In September 2014, a song titled 'Woju' an emerging singer, Kizz Daniel, was released online, and instantly, it began to generate rave reviews. The singer, Kiss Daniel, was previously unknown, but his star was evident. Possessing a great vocal delivery, and the looks to match pop music's physical demands, the record grew.

I just purchased willmaker assuming it would be easy to do wills. She would be my executor with my nephew as secondary. I would be her executor with her brother as her secondary.
Just thought about what would happen with the house if we die at the same time. There would be 2 executors that would each be one of the beneficiaries of their half of the house value. I don't believe there would be any conflict between the two of them in selling.
I was wondering how to best prepare and set this up in willmaker.
Does Willmaker tell you what to do about the possibility of simultaneous death? I believe (not sure) some jurisdictions provide that one of the pair is presumed to live longer. There used to be a chauvinistic argument. Some wills make a provision for deaths within 30 days to circumvent that issue.
Hello. I am reletively new. Please correct me ane forgive me if I inadvertently misunderstand some forum credo.
I am interested in this question, and would enjoy reading answers. However my main interest is in different but related questions: What happens if I die first, and my partner-in-house dies a year or so later? I suspect that my partner's heir would receive the entire house. So what is the best way to set things up so that when I bite it my partner gets the entire use of the house while he is still alive, but then after he dies the house is split between my other heir and and his?
I have nothing against willmaker software, but I'm not planning to do this with willmaker software. I would just like to have some understanding of the answer before deciding whether to visit a lawyer.
Is it true that regardless of who dies first. your separate halves of the house go to the brother and the nephew? I believe (not a lawyer) that there are common precedents in wills that presume, for near-simultaneous death, who dies first (see Uniform Simultaneous Death). I would suggest naming a third set of executors, especially since your brother is probably about your age.

2018 brings several challenges for those born under this sign. As published by the website of La horoscope2018.guru, 2018 will be a good year for Aries from the academic and labor point of view. With regard to love, the first quarter of the year will bring important proofs for your relationship, which will survive if it is strong enough.
Stability and calm will be the tone for those born under the influence of Taurus. Although you may know new people, in the field of love you do not see too many changes. With respect to work and money, it will be good to order it, especially during the first quarter. With regard to health, horoscope2018.guru warns that Taurus this year should take care of their diet and perform more physical activity.
According to the magazine La Hora Mujeres, the gemenis will be affected by some sentimental problems and that will have them somewhat distracted. If they have a partner, new communication channels must be enabled. If you're single, you should be careful because love may be closer than you think.
It will be a good year for those born under this sign. You will obtain good results in studies or work, because you will show that you have more skills than you imagine. With regard to health, it is recommended to take care of the posture of the back. Yoga or pilates could avoid possible complications.
You have a great opportunity to revitalize your personal relationships, to renew links, discover new friends, participate in different social circles and undertake promising team projects. It's time to expand your social participation. Break routines and discover new horizons.
Frequently, friends can get to condition life, and vice versa. This is one of those years in which friendship relations can exert an influence outside the normal fate. That means that you should choose very well with whom you relate and to what extent. In the same way that you must be aware of the influence that you can exert in the lives of others.
On the other hand, you enter an important stage for the transformation of your mentality and your ideas, even for the way of understanding the world. You will look for a greater meaning or foundation to things, you will have a more serious vision and you will feel that your word is measured and observed more than normal.
You should be prudent in the way you communicate and not talk until you are sure of what you are going to say.
Document yourself a lot, study. If you do it right, your word and your ideas will have a lot of weight; otherwise, you may have overly critical and demanding attitudes towards others, or feel that they are the ones who have them towards you. Concerns could stun your ideas.
From August, it will be good to take care of your health and look for moments of peace, because excessive wear and tear could take its toll.
It is a relationship based on friendship above all and on optimism as a vital concept with which to live day to day. They will support each other and together they will be able to face all kinds of setbacks. In addition, the insatiable curiosity of Libra can be fulfilled living along with the unpredictable sign of the archer who, likewise, will benefit from the opportune advice of his partner.
We are thus facing that typical relationship in which the elements attract. The Air will stimulate the Fire, it will make it shine more. This can make the relationship very dynamic and full of nuances and, what is more important, Sagittarius will have no problem changing its destination a thousand times according to Libra's changing ideas. This will cause more laughs than confrontations, which augurs many fun moments to share.

We here at Celflux are continually humbled and thankful for the doors that continue to open for our small indie project. Most of our updates these days are about our current project the Celflux Animated short. However, our graphic novel is still very much in production. Other independent creators can testify that because of limited time, people and resources things move a bit slower. Nevertheless, you do what you can and grab opportunities as they come along.
One such opportunity has arisen for our graphic novel. We recently published Celflux issue no.3 and entered it into CODE's Burt Award Caribbean Literature. In collaboration with Canadian organization CODE, the Bocas Lit Fest manages CODE's Burt Award for Caribbean Literature, a literary award that recognizes literary works by Caribbean authors for Young Adults.
We are excited to just be a part of such a prestigious event and that Celflux would be considered of good enough quality to be accepted into the festival. We want to thank the Bocas Lit Fest and CODE for their consideration.

The Fitchburg State men's hockey team has officially begun a new season at the Wallace Civic Center.
This season will mark Head Coach Dean Fuller's 32nd with the school and the longtime head coach of the program, only the second head coach in Fitchburg State's history, is three wins away from an all-time milestone of 500.
"He's been great for us – the heart and soul of this program. We hope to add a lot more than that," said senior captain Max Lorenzen, a four-year member of the team.
The Green and Gold were recently ranked in preseason coaches' polls to finish third in the MASCAC, but the ranking doesn't sit well with some members of the team.
"Ranking us third is putting a chip on our shoulder and that's exactly where we want it," said junior captain Cam Snyder, who emerged as the team's leading scorer from a season ago.
For most teams a No. 3 ranking may come with feelings of content, but the Fitchburg State hockey team has clear intentions of finishing in the top two despite graduating a number of key seniors from last season's playoff team.
Coach Fuller has accounted for those losses and brought in a new crop of 10 freshmen to fill the skates left behind by Falcons such as Craig Halpin, Ryan Wysocki and Kevin Holmes.
"We have four freshmen defenders that can play. A couple of our new forwards have looked good, DiNicola and Frentz. It's been pretty promising," said Coach Fuller on the new recruiting class of Falcons.
Through the first two victories, newcomers have stepped up in a huge way for the Green and Gold. Forwards DiNicola and Fretz have led their classmates with a combined seven points on five goals and two assists. Coach Fuller has also seen quality ice time from a strong quartet of first-year Falcons: Joshua Victor, Richard Kramer, Alex Joseclyn, and Connor McPherson.
With the amount of 21-year-old freshmen playing solid minutes, it's easy to overlook returning skaters that stack this season's roster. The team is deep at every position. It's a problem that any head coach would love to have.
At the forward position, 14 members of last year's squad have returned being led by seniors Max Lorenzen, Nat Rojas, Paul Falanga, John Celli, and Ryan Connolly to name a few.
Senior captain Mike Morrison is the backbone of the Falcons' defense which consists of Dan Robertson, Jordan Furlane, Evan Byrnes, and four promising freshmen in front of net.
The goalie position is the biggest question mark going forth for Coach Fuller. After graduating two seniors last season, the Falcons will likely platoon at the position until a No. 1 emerges and takes over between the pipes.
The Falcons have already started their season on the right note. After dropping the season opener against Southern Maine by a final score of 5 -2, the squad bounced back winning consecutive games and putting up a total of 10 goals in those two victories. But after winning just two games last year during the first month of the season, this year's team has a simple philosophy to staying hot all season.
The Falcons take the ice and open up their conference schedule this Saturday, Nov. 7, traveling to Framingham State in the first away game for Fitchburg State this season.


"Who doesn't like a good deal on the things they purchase every day?" That simple question prompted Ibotta to disrupt the coupon industry with its easy-to-use mobile app. Now, rather than spending hours clipping coupons, the app brings savings directly to shoppers' smartphones. Whether in-store or online, Ibotta is committed to giving customers cash back on their everyday purchases.
As the #16 most-used mobile app in the U.S. (according to Consumer Research Partners), Ibotta's Care Team supports questions from thousands of users. Chelsey Michniewicz, Ibotta's Care Team training supervisor, has watched the company and the Care Team grow significantly over the last few years—from a few agents crammed into a single office to what's now a distributed remote team, staffed by more than 100 agents. This kind of growth at scale, from a distance, presents a natural training challenge.
"When we were [first] trained, it was kind of crazy. As we switched to remote training with Lessonly and Zendesk, it made this perfect marriage—now it all fits together," explained Chelsey. Today the Care Team does all training through video calls and Chelsey estimated that she's training nearly 50 people that she's never met in person.
Ibotta care agents spend about 80 percent of their time in Zendesk Support and Guide, managing thousands of user tickets and help center articles. The other 20 percent of agents' time is spent in Lessonly.
Chelsey and her team link lessons from Lessonly to specific pages in Zendesk so that agents are automatically prompted with helpful content related to the task at hand. Lessonly and Zendesk's internal knowledge base work in tandem to continuously provide Ibotta agents with the best possible training and enablement content—all of which helps the team deliver amazing care.
"We encourage our agents: If you don't know it, check Lessonly. If Lessonly doesn't have what you're looking for, check Zendesk! If we find there was no answer for this question, we fix it, so the next person doesn't have to go through the same process again," Chelsey said.
In addition to using Lessonly's training software to bring new agents onboard, the Care team leans on Lessonly for ongoing training. "For example, we just came out with a new attendance policy. So we sent that out through Lessonly, and used assessments to ensure that everyone understood the new policy," Chelsea explained.
Ibotta understands that keeping its remote team abreast on new processes and policies, or new product training, has a direct impact on customer care—especially important when the team is already challenged with scaling volume to accommodate seasonal increases in traffic. Since integrating Lessonly and Zendesk, however, Ibotta's Care Team customer satisfaction ratings have continued to rise.
With the aid of both Zendesk Support and Lessonly, Ibotta leadership is able to more effectively communicate with the remote team. Meanwhile, agents receive smart, timely on the job assistance.
Editor's note: A version of this story also ran on Lessonly's site. Check it out here.


It can also be the cornerstone to storytelling. While the preponderance of cat videos and the impossibility of predicting what will go viral may cause you to throw your hands up in exasperation, don't give up on the power of video. It tells a story like no other medium.
In fact, some are calling 2016 "the year of video." Okay, they also said that about 2015, but here's the takeaway: Video's popularity and power is growing. Don't delay in developing your own challenger brand strategy for video.
That's why a majority of brands utilize YouTube to amplify their content marketing campaigns. In fact, every single day, people watch hundreds of millions of hours of content on YouTube, which, in turn, generates billions of views. With numbers like that, why wouldn't you explore your video options on this platform? Oh, and by the way, it's easy to use and … wait for it … it can be free.
YouTube is social media. It's not just a place to park your videos or snag an embedded code and repost on your website. Employ the same best practices that you do on Facebook. Include a description, dress up your brand's channel with images, reply to comments, and keep the content coming.
Done is better than perfect. Consumers are a forgiving lot when it comes to video. Most don't have the trained eye to spot that the lighting isn't perfect or the editing isn't mastered. Video is so prevalent that people are used to imperfect footage.
Keep it real. While consumers won't notice a few video production faux pas, they can spot a phony from a mile away. If the story you're trying to tell isn't true, is too aspirational, or isn't relatable to your audience, choose a different story.
Organize your channel. Choose intriguing titles, add a description, and once you have a dozen or so videos, sort them into intuitive playlists. Add a watermark to prompt viewers to subscribe while watching.
Leverage SEO. Provide keywords and optimize your metadata in your channel's settings. A good keyword is worth its weight in gold.
Apply challenger brand thinking. Make a video that no one else can make. Show something no one else can. Show the impact of your product or service.
So grab your smartphone or a GoPro or employ a professional videographer, and get out there to start creating some unforgettable content that will give your customers the chills.

We have been following the developing story of the rumored next step for the Call of Duty franchise: Infinite Warfare with the box art leaks and mysterious videos. Now the rumor mill and endless speculation can be put to rest because Activision has officially announced that Infinite Warfare is happening and it's coming to us this November.
So here are a few things we know about the annual revelation – we've got the details on the story, the maps, and yes – even the zombies.
Players will play as Captain Reyes, a Spec Ops pilot in charge of Earth's warship The Retribution. The story will take the player all over the solar system taking the scale of war to a much larger scale than previous titles.
Obviously with the inclusion of inter-stellar travel, the story setting is set in the future. In this future, Earth is a skeletal planet skimmed of its natural resources spurred by industrialization and a mass populace.
With the video we shared earlier this week, we catch a glimpse of the possible enemy in Infinite Warfare: The Settlement Defense Front (AKA "The Front"). A "group of insurgents" that was once a part of the United Nations Space Alliance is described by Activision as a "fascist power". From what we've seen of the video, they are not a force to be taken lightly.
Multiplayer – the aspect of this FPS franchise that most people purchase the game for. With E3 around the corner more details about the maps are expected to be revealed at that time, though there is a hint that Titanfall may influence a large amount of game mechanics for those who partake in the MP side of Call of Duty.
Warships, like The Retribution, are an interesting addition to the franchise. Space combat is now a key factor in the campaign like never before. We do know that Reyes' ship will act as a home base for players. Not only that, but the Jackal will be in the player's arsenal as a fighter jet.
Ah, Zombies – the staple of games such as the Black Ops series that have eaten their way straight into gamer's hearts. Like with Black Ops III, Activision is bringing back a zombie-centric co-op storyline. More information has not be released at this time.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will be dropping November 4th for PC, Xbox One, and the Playstation 4.
What we know about Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare was last modified: May 2nd, 2016 by Liana "LiLi" R.

Craig K. Nakagawa, '97
Acting President, VillageReach
Craig Nakagawa started his career in global health and economic development in 1991, working for Lehman Brothers as an analyst in the firm's global pharmaceuticals practice. His investment banking experience centered on fundamental company analysis, corporate finance, and derivative finance. In 1999, he joined satellite venture Teledesic, where he was an associate in the corporate development and finance department. When the firm merged with ICO Global Communications, he was named a general manager in business development.
Beyond his daytime duties of strategy and corporate development, Nakagawa helped colleague Blaise Judja-Sato with his vision of bringing essential health services to the poor in Africa and beyond. In 2000, Judja-Sato founded VillageReach in Seattle, Washington. In 2001, Nakagawa left his investment banking career for what he saw as a higher calling — to use his financial expertise and business acumen to provide a better life for the world's poor as a social entrepreneur.
He was appointed chief operating officer of VillageReach. In this role, Nakagawa was responsible for organizational development and strategy and for assessing ventures for potential partnerships. In 2004, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation endorsed VillageReach by providing $3.3 million in critical funding to increase immunization rates, efficacy, and safety for five million people. Nakagawa has done what Nelson Mandela (a VillageReach honorary Board Member) expresses so eloquently: "We must not become immobilized by what we think of as the 'hugeness' of our problems. Let us consider what can be done, and start finding practical ways of doing things."
By 2007, Nakagawa became acting president and expanded VillageReach from a two-person venture in Seattle to an organization of 40 employees with six offices in two countries.


Ever feel like you are the only one?
Simple Church, Organic Church or House Church is no longer thought of as some fringe, obscure or illegitimate expression of the Church made up of hippies and those too strange to belong to traditional christian churches. Let me take that back… some of us are strange. However, there is a longing amongst many believers today for something more than the status quo, more than church attendance. There is a growing desire to not change the structure of church but rather be changed people. This is leading to a shift in how believers meet and gather. It's less about the building and more about the relationships and Christ being the center of communal life.
So is this a passing fad? It doesn't seem so. By the growing numbers it's becoming a movement – a Jesus movement and is gaining acceptance even among mainstream traditional and denominational churches who are not only embracing it as legitimate but who themselves are now planting Simple Churches.
Give it to me. What's the number?
