Authorities at MoDOT's Transportation Management Center in Town and Country highlighted separate incidents in just the past few days in the St. Louis area, where a Missouri Highway Patrol cruiser and a MoDOT emergency response vehicle were hit.
Fortunately, neither the trooper nor the MoDOT worker was seriously hurt.
Emergency responders said the biggest problem they face at scenes that puts their safety at risk is distracted drivers.
"If you're not paying attention to the singular focus which should be operating your motor vehicle, then you're missing the point and you're endangering the lives of the individuals you see up here in front of you," said Captain Garon Mosby, St. Louis Fire Department.
Authorities remind everyone that there is a 'move over' law in Missouri.
According to the law, if a responder is pulled over on the shoulder of the road with their lights on, then you have to move over one lane to the left if possible to give them room to safely work.
Tuesday's event was part of Traffic Incident Response Awareness Week.

From Seattle, Washington, USA:
I have type 1 diabetes and PCOS. I was told that I could never get pregnant. I just turned 36 and I found out I'm pregnant. My blood sugars are out of control ranging from 65 to 500 mg/dl (3.6 to 27.8 mmol/L]. I just had blood tests done and my creatinine was 2.5. I spill a lot of protein in my urine. I'm scared, not only for myself, but for my baby. Is it possible to carry this baby to term or should I just expect a miscarriage? I'm about nine weeks along. What should my blood sugars be? Should I check my sugars more than six times a day? Should I give myself extra insulin each time my sugars are high? I am desperately scared to death. I'm so afraid of having this baby, which may have tons of health problems; I feel sick. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
You need to meet with your doctor as soon as possible. You should be under the care of a high risk pregnancy specialist as well as an endocrinologist. You blood sugars can be controlled with insulin, but it will take some work. You will require multiple daily injections along with frequent blood glucose testing before and after each meal. I am concerned about your creatinine level. This suggests some kidney damage which can have implications for the pregnancy. You are at increased risk of poor fetal growth, pre-term delivery and early onset of preeclampsia. I doubt you will get to full term, but with close monitoring, you may reach a gestational age where you can deliver a healthy baby. You will need a lot of attention throughout your pregnancy.

Bring Out the Big Guns
An Industry Bright Spot, Toys Get Kids Off the Couch and Wetter Than Ever
Toy companies are coming out with new extreme toy weapons for summer, outfitting kids for the traditional summertime pastime of playing in the yard . . . and blasting each other to smithereens with foam projectiles and water.
Noting the explosive popularity of outdoor "blasters" from Hasbro's Nerf and Super Soaker lines, more companies are jumping in with rival products, whether weapons that shoot wet paper pellets (a modern take on the old-fashioned spitball) or bows that fling foam arrows....

My "day job" tour to Marin makes a right turn at the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge, and to be honest, most casual riders gladly choose the downhill ride in to Sausalito - lunch, a glass of wine, a ferry ride back to San Francisco.

Student Voices is a WOA blog feature that presents the experiences and viewpoints of current Arts students. Through their posts, you'll experience the creativity and passion of our students as they present glimpses into student life. The views and opinions expressed within these posts are solely those of the authors.
As a student taking a Community Service-Learning component in a class, you become focused on your relationship with your community partner and the project you're completing for them or the work that you're doing with them. You devote a lot of time to these projects – at least 20 hours – and they become important to you. Students become committed to the work because they believe in the work and cause of their community partner. Essentially, a student's experience with CSL is almost exclusively with their class and their community partner.
Most students, however, don't think about CSL beyond their class and project. This is completely normal, given their exposure. Students are able to focus on their project because there are no administrative processes to worry about at the same time. The entrance into a new placement is so smooth that they never have to wonder how everything came together for them to start their project.
As a well as being a CSL student, I've been the intern in the office since August. Now that my internship is ending, I am able to look back at all of the cool things that I've done and everything that I've learned. The best experience that I've had in CSL is telling other students, and especially new or prospective students, about the program and how they can get involved. So many students already love to volunteer; showing them around this program that taught me so many things has brought me great pleasure.
I've had the distinct pleasure of meeting the people whose hard work is the reason I have been able to complete my certificate and engage with my community. I've met the partnership coordinators who matched the community partners I've worked with, with the classes I've taken.
I've worked with the program coordinator who ensured that I completed my certificate properly and who works to make sure that students are aware of CSL and how it will benefit them. Working with everyone at CSL has been an eye-opening experience, to say the least.
My work here is varied, whether it is creating a video or a bulletin board, or sending emails to students, but I now fully appreciate the yearly work that goes into making this program great and running it smoothly for students in a CSL component. I have enjoyed interacting with students, instructors and community partners alike to raise awareness of CSL and showcasing the people in our community who are doing their best to empower citizens of Edmonton. The Faces of CSL project has allowed me to meet and get to know passionate people with a penchant for social change and justice.
While my internship is coming to an end, I look forward to completing my last CSL course next semester. Working on the administrative side, especially while I am also doing a placement, has changed the way I see the program. I am humbled by the amount of work these staff members have put into my academic career and my experiences here at the U of A.
Thank you CSL.

Bitcoin (BTC) is a digital crypto-currency released back in 2009 which later reached the mainstream currency market around 2011. Bitcoin is a decentralized currency, this means the use of Bitcoin does not require third party services from banks or other financial institutions in order to manage the money. No bank, central authority or government interferes with your Bitcoin profits. The Bitcoin network is public to the world and operated only by those who use it.
People who own Bitcoins interact directly with others who own this form of currency, this includes businesses known to accept the currency. Let's say you found a clothing store with nice stuff and the store confirms they accept Bitcoins. You can purchase what you want and be charged what the price tag says ignoring additional bank fees since the 2–3% credit card processing fee for using a credit or debit card does not apply. Remember, banks are the ones who offer credit or debit cards. So, if you use Bitcoins you can say goodbye to unnecessary banking fees.
As of 2014, tens of thousands of businesses across the globe accept bitcoins. This includes some of the largest online retailers worldwide, such as multinational computer company Dell and online furniture retailer Overstock.com which are two of the biggest companies currently accepting bitcoins for purchases. Other companies accepting Bitcoin are Expedia, MGM Resorts International, Subway, Quiznos, Burger King, Lamborghini Newport Beach, Land Rover Redwood City, AMC Theatres, NBA Sacramento Kings, NASCAR, WordPress, Timberland, Victoria's Secret and the list goes on.
Bitcoins can be managed using a computer, tablet or mobile phone device. The first step to get started is creating an online wallet where you can store Bitcoins. The internet offers several online wallet services to choose from. Among the top 5 most solicited are Coinbase, Blockchain, GreenAddress.it, MyCelium and Armory. Below are the URLs for each option mentioned so you can take a look and choose the best option based on your own preference.
There are different ways to acquire bitcoins, a direct purchase is among the easiest methods to start funding your online wallet. This is done throughout trusted online bitcoin exchange services. However, there are other options you may consider as well which allow you to purchase bitcoins such as the following below:
Once you already have a Bitcoin online wallet and an available balance, you can finally move on to making a purchase. Bitcoin transactions are pretty straight forward and simple. When you purchase anything online or at a physical store that accepts Bitcoin, you will be given a "Bitcoin Address" to send the bitcoins to. The Bitcoin address in question is how a Bitcoin wallet is identified, all active Bitcoin users are assigned with a unique "Bitcoin Address" for each online wallet created. All you need to do is access your online wallet and send the desired amount to the address provided.
To deposit Bitcoins in your Betbit Casino account, simply send the amount of your deposit to the "Bitcoin Address" listed on our Cashier page and the deposit will show up in a matter of just a few minutes.

Amanda Bynes has dodged another legal bullet after Los Angeles police officials decided against pressing charges over her September (14) arrest for driving under the influence (DUI).
The embattled Hairspray star was reportedly found to have Adderall, a drug commonly used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), in her system when she was pulled over by cops last year (14), but the amount was considered too little for the Los Angeles City Attorney to prosecute.
However, it's not all good news for Bynes - the actress' case has been referred to the District Attorney, who could choose to revoke her probation and place her in jail over the drug use if it's ruled a violation of the terms of her freedom, reports TMZ.com.
The star was handed three years probation last year (14) as part of a plea deal over a prior DUI charge, relating to a 2012 arrest in West Hollywood, where she was busted for allegedly side-swiping a police car.
Bynes' DUI arrest last year (14) was considered a big setback for the actress, who battled a string of legal and mental health issues in 2012 and early 2013 before completing a lengthy rehab stay in December, 2013. She appeared to have turned her life around in the following months after enrolling in the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Orange County, California, and had charges relating to a marijuana possession case dismissed in June (14).
However, she subsequently dropped out of school and returned to rehab over the summer (14) after a fight with her family, who feared her psychiatric issues had again spiralled out of control.

A First Impression Of Pepsi's Q3
PepsicCo, Inc. (NYSE: PEP) was trading a bit lower Wednesday after investors had enough time to fully digest the company's earnings report, which included a revenue miss but earnings came in ahead of expectations.
Investors have "little reason" to be excited about PepsiCo's third quarter earnings, Wells Fargo's Bonnie Herzog commented in a report. There are multiple areas of concern and headwinds, including: ongoing pressures in Latin America, worse than expected volumes in the non-alcoholic beverage category (NAB), and operating cost inflation was observed in all segments.
The beverage and snack maker could achieve its revised full year fiscal 2017 earnings per share guidance (from $5.13 to $5.23) based on the company's productivity savings and cost cutting initiatives, the analyst added. On the other hand, the company also lowered its fiscal 2017 organic revenue growth rate from 3 percent to 2.3 percent
There were a few positive aspects of PepsiCo's earnings report that should be noted, including: a strong performance in Asia, Middle East, and North Africa, more favorable exchange rates in the quarter, and solid volume gains in Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Bottom line, there are few positive catalysts ahead that could result in the stock moving meaningfully higher in the near-term and the stock's reaction to the downside is expected.

Skip to comments.MD Health exchange to offer retroactive coverage [sausage making is exposed and ugly]
Posted on 01/14/2014 1:33:43 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife
....Gov. Martin O'Malley plans to announce the option Tuesday, the day lawmakers scheduled briefings on the exchange's performance and on a different plan to give coverage through a state-backed health plan to thousands of uninsured who were thwarted by technical problems from enrolling in time to get coverage by Jan. 1.....
....The new plan will not replace the one to allow those without coverage temporarily into the Maryland Health Insurance Plan, which comes with its own premiums, deductibles and copays. The high-risk pool was created years ago for people who could not get private insurance because of pre-existing conditions.
....the administration will still offer the MHIP plan "as a basic safety net." It requires passage by the General Assembly as emergency legislation.
"There still could be people who fall through the cracks,"...
..."He didn't tell the people of Maryland when he knew ahead of time that this would fail,".. Gansler said Brown needs to tell the public what happened to the $107 million used to build the exchange.
"In order to fix the problem, we have to know what happened,".."We need to make sure people get access to health care."....
...Republicans have called for a special committee with subpoena powers. And some Democrats have said an investigation would be launched once the site is running properly.
State Sen. Thomas "Mac" Middleton...called for a briefing from state and exchange officials after a hearing on the MHIP emergency legislation... "there will be plenty of questions," but that it was not the time to investigate what went wrong. That would happen down the road.........Brown also pledged a full investigation after the website is running smoothly."That's something that will be done, but right now we don't want to divert attention" away from problem solving, Brown said. "We are making progress, but we're not satisfied until we enroll more and more Marylanders."
(Excerpt) Read more at baltimoresun.com ...
No "customer" can follow this but the Democrats must continue to enroll to keep Obamacare viable, regardless of the total disaster that we are watching unfold.
Sounds like single payer is just a small step away.
Much of the Post report by Aaron C. Davis and Mary Pat Flaherty relies on audits, letters, emails and other documents to or from the Portland, Maine-based firm BerryDunn, which was paid $9 million to provide oversight for the development of Maryland's exchange. Among the highlights:..........."
In addition, that taxpayer might face a letter and a phone call or a series of them from the IRS telling him to pay the rest. Anyone who has received a letter or phone call from the IRS knows the experience can be quite intimidating. Or, in the words of the administration's Supreme Court brief: "Offsets, correspondence, and phone calls are consistently some of the most productive tools in the federal tax collection process."
Will the government really do that? The answer is not clear, or at least not publicly clear. (In response to inquiries, IRS officials sent boilerplate, non-enlightening clips from IRS publications.) But the administration's level of aggressiveness will likely be determined by how many Americans voluntarily comply with the law.
Obamacare needs a lot of them to survive. In the last few months, discussion often focused on the prediction that the system needed to enroll seven million people by the time open enrollment is over at the end of March. But even if Obamacare reaches that goal and it's doubtful right now that is just the start. To work, Obamacare must keep growing. A lot. ........."
Once government finds the ultimate solution to the RIGHT to health care and insurance, or the appearance that health care is such a right as to be FREE, one begins to wonder what the next manufactured right will be?
We are already on course to be married to whomever and whatever.
I'm talking about what is, as yet unanounced future think.
With Obamacare and an unchecked EPA, the sky's the limit of things they can (will) dictate.

The Moon and Venus will strike a remarkable pose this week on Thursday, July 20th, when they grace the morning sky in the east an hour before sunrise.
The Moon will be at one of its most beautiful phases this week, known as waning crescent, which it only achieves in the morning sky as it drifts around the Earth and back toward the Sun. Waning crescent always occurs the week before New Moon, which will happen on July 23rd this month. This will be the last New Moon before the Great American Solar Eclipse in August, so it's a good one to watch, in preparation for that event.
The Moon will meet Venus in the region of Taurus stars, where she's been holding court with the orange-red bull's eye star Aldebaran. On Thursday morning, the Moon, Venus, and Aldebaran will be a like a beautiful trio, singing the dawn into being!
These three can also be imagined like the three graces: Joy, Bloom, and Brilliance. The graces are the ancient dieties of beauty and they personify the element of harmony in the world, spreading joy and gracefulness in nature, and in the hearts of human beings and gods alike.
Venus is by far the most brilliant of the three, and in August, when the Sun is totally eclipsed and the daytime sky becomes about as dark as it is during early twilight, Venus will be the most conspicuous nearby object to the Sun, appearing in the sky almost a full ten minutes before totality occurs!
Such an unveiling of the graceful goddess by day begs for a song of joy and beauty, some poem or verse, which we can all practice on Thursday, with waning crescent Moon and Aldebaran as witnesses. One of my favorites is from George Gordon, Lord Byron:
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
Offer your song of love and beauty into the morning sky this week, where Venus Moon and Aldebaran stand as the graces of dawn. George Gordon, Lord Byron "She Walks in Beauty" can be found at this link. Excellent article describing what can be seen in the sky during the August 21, 2017 eclipse, if you dare to look away from the "main event". Click here.

. . . of Wildflowers
"My heart found its home long ago in the beauty, mystery, order, and disorder of the flowering earth."
Lady Bird Johnson
I miss Daddy. His death was at first a shock to my system, but now it is a slow-moving ache in my heart that I imagine I will live with for the rest of my days. Putting together a scrapbook this past week, I stumbled upon several photographs of him I hadn't seen for a while. In one he holds my sister and me in each arm and our brother on his shoulders. In another he is holding me in his arms while my brother and sister play on the swing set in the background.
A favorite photograph of Daddy is one of him standing with my sister and me ...

Flash Point
The term used to identify the minimum temperature at which a liquid gives off vapor in sufficient concentration to form an air-vapor mixture at the surface of the liquid that can be ignited by a small ignition source.
Class I flammable liquids have flash points below 100ºF. The flash point of motor and aviation fuels ranges from -36ºF down to -50ºF. Such fuels are easily ignited at almost all ambient conditions likely to be encountered. The minimum flash point for diesel fuel ranges from 100ºF to 130ºF, although some states require diesel fuels to have higher flash points. Liquids with a flash point above 100ºF are classified as combustible liquids.
Flash point is established through use of a precise laboratory procedure by passing a flame over a cup of the liquid as the liquid is slowly heated.

What is plastic surgery?
Contrary to its name, plastic surgery does not involve the use of plastics during surgery. The word "plastic" is taken from a Greek word that simply means "moulding" or "giving form".
What is the difference between cosmetic and reconstructive surgery?
Reconstructive surgery - Surgery to improve function or minimize disfigurement that has occurred as a result of an accident, disease or birth defect. Aesthetic or cosmetic surgery - Designed to improve a person's appearance by reshaping facial or bodily features
Are my medical records kept private and confidential?
Your medical file is handled with the utmost respect for your privacy. Our staff are bound by strict confidentiality requirements as a condition of employment regarding your medical records. Ordinarily we will not release the contents of your medical file without your consent.
What should I expect during my first visit?
The best and only way to find out if plastic surgery is right for you, is to consult Arthur G. Handal M.D who will listen to your needs, examine you and provide you with educated advise. Arthur G. Handal M.D can tell you what you need to know about the procedure you are interested in, or recommend another to meet your needs and goals. During your initial visit, the doctor will explain the specific procedure you want, help you visualize the results and go over the risks. Although complications are rare, all surgeries, especially those that involve anaesthesia, carry some risks. Arthur G. Handal M.D will outline these for you based on the specific procedure.
What about insurance coverage?
In general, your private health fund and Medicare will not cover purely cosmetic procedures. They will cover a portion of other procedures with an associated item number. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to ensure your health fund will adequately cover your surgery with Arthur G. Handal M.D .
What foods should I eat before and after surgery?
There is research that suggests some foods and vitamins that can aid in the recovery from your surgical procedure. Dr. Handal suggests eating fresh pineapple. Pineapple, a tropical fruit, is high in the enzyme bromelain and the antioxidant vitamin C, both of which play a major role in the body's healing process. Bromelain is very effective in treating bruises, sprains and strains by reducing swelling, tenderness and pain. Dr. Handal also recommends Arnica, an herb, that stimulates the immune system and heart, relieves pain and inflammation and clears fungal and bacterial infections. Generally, these are started a day before surgery. The Pre Op Nurse will discuss this in detail during your one on one visit with her. Dr. Handal recommends that you do not drink any alcoholic beverages for 3 days prior to your surgery and wait for 2 weeks after the surgery. Alcohol can delay the healing process.
Should I stop smoking prior to a surgical procedure?
Yes. Smoking can impair and delay the healing process. It is not the actual smoke but the nicotine so any nicotine products are not permissible. Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor; therefore, the blood supply may not be optimal. It is important to be "smoke free" for 3 months prior to your procedure and to remain "smoke free" during your post operative recovery time. Remember, smoking is just no good for you!!!
How soon can I return to the gym?
This is addressed on an individual basis depending on the procedure. Generally, patients resume their physical activity with the start of brisk walking. This is a perfect to talk with Dr. Handal during your post surgery visits.

The Global Warming Hiatus Isn't Real: New Study Confirms Ocean Warming is Faster Than Ever
There have been considerable buzz about the so-called climate change hiatus that supposedly saw the temperature rise slow down from 1998 onwards. In fact, when the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released a study on the journal Science about the rapidly heating planet, the doubters became aggressive towards them.
According to a report from Live Science, a new and independent study began examining the data again and confirmed NOAA's previous research, saying the hiatus doesn't actually exist. The lead author Zeke Hausfather stated as much saying, "Our results mean that essentially NOAA got it right, that they were not cooking the books."
Hausfather is also a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley's Energy and Resources Group.
The NOAA report pointed out that the data used to support the climate change hiatus were actually inaccurate due to measurement errors. Modern buoys measuring ocean temperature tend to produce lower temperatures compared to older ship-based methods of obtaining the temperature. This is because ships measure the ocean temperature in their engine rooms, which tend to be a heated area. Buoys measure directly from the ocean.
The research corrected the ship bias for previous years, discovering that the sea temperature has actually risen by 0.22 degrees Fahrenheit per decade since 2000. This puts the rate double of previously obtained data and matched estimates from previous decades, disproving the alleged slowdown.
The data was not received well by skeptics and the general public, so Hausfather and his team conducted an independent study using data gathered from different sources: satellites, robotic floats and buoys. In each, the warming ocean trends lined up with the data published in the NOAA study.
"In the grand scheme of things, the main implication of our study is on the hiatus, which many people have focused on, claiming that global warming has slowed greatly or even stopped," Hausfather said. "Based on our analysis, a good portion of that apparent slowdown in warming was due to biases in the ship records."

Scott Hillenbrand

"Scott is a tremendous real estate professional, and we were super lucky to have him as our agent when buying our house. He went through the whole home buying process with us (over 6 months), always being available to talk and discuss, always returning calls, and handled our ups, downs and stresses in the whole home buying process like a true psychologist. Let's face it - we live in an a connected world, and looking for a house today is completely different than it was 20 years ago. Technology allows you to look for a home yourself, mark favorites, share, go to open houses - really the impression you get, and in which we ourselves believed, is that you don't really _need_ an agent during the home search process, especially a pushy one. But while you can self-service during the search (and Scott is great in understanding that), what happens after is where working with somebody like Scott becomes invaluable. We found out that once you find a house you see potential in, you have an excellent advisor in Scott - for the various pitfalls, what to look out for, where you may need to invest, how to go about fixes, how much roughly these things might cost after all. This is especially true if you're looking for a fixer-upper, or even are thinking of converting a garage, or doing an addition in the future. Scott's advise and his experience become invaluable in helping envision what the house could be, and his willingness and excitement about construction things make him the most versatile agent we've met. The negotiation phase is always emotionally tough, and Scott handled it beautifully. We ended getting our house without even being the highest offer. His knowledge and experience helped convinced the sellers that we were the right buyers, and we were the ones to work with. How does that even happen? Really unbelievable. So once our offer was finally accepted - the number of things that have to happen in order is overwhelming. Inspections, appraisals, mortgage underwriting, contingencies, etc etc We ended up switching our lenders after offer acceptance. Scott helped us navigate the maze like a pro. He was always on top of everything, always responsive and reachable. He listened to us when we were firm, and helped us focus when we indecisive, and was never pushy in any way. I wholeheartedly recommend Scott to anyone looking to buy a house, especially if you're looking to make improvements in the future. You get more than you think you would with Scott."
- Rokas and Ausra Venckus
If you choose Scott as your realtor, you might be surprised, as I was, that you also get some things that the word "realtor" usually doesn't imply: He always chooses working for you rather than taking it easy. He is always thinking about how to do his job better and he'll tell you about it. He returns calls; he makes improvements, he is open to suggestions and his ego is much smaller than his intelligence. He's got a ton of energy and uses it. He knows when to shut up. When you argue with him, he knows how to forget about it after. When you think NOBODY'S going to buy, he KNOWS somebody will. He's a first-rate cheerleader. Hire Scott. After he sells your house, you'll congratulate yourself on how smart you were to choose him.
- Peter Danckert
We have actively searched for a home for over a year. Over the course of that time we had met realtor after realtor. We never wanted to work with one of them because it simply seemed unnecessary. With technology giving us all the tools necessary (or so we thought), why would we have some "glorified car salesperson" showing us properties we could find on our own? Here's what we found out: Finding the right property is something an educated consumer can do on their own, but getting that property is another story. We believe that we would not be sitting in our home today if we had not found our agent, Scott Hillenbrand, to champion us throughout the process of securing the property. Why Scott Hillenbrand? He knows how to build trust and maintain it. His professionalism is matched by his personal care. His follow through on a daily basis was consistent and sincere. Calls never went unanswered, he would always be in touch via email or text, and his communication was clear and concise. I am not easily impressed. I hold myself to a standard that others find difficult to match. Not so with Scott. He went so far above and beyond the general responsibilities of an agent, that at times it felt like he had become a personal assistant; facilitating meetings with construction workers, actively following up with our loan officer, making excellent recommendations for specialized work, and exhibiting a care for our overall home purchase that was as dedicated and personal as if it was his own. HIs pragmatism, experience, and stewardship saved the day a number of times. It's quite surprising to go through the labyrinthine process of house buying (with all its pitfalls, stumbles, and wipe-outs), and have nothing but powerful accolades for your agent. I wouldn't do it if it weren't earned. Scott Hillenbrand earns it. Thank you.
My wife and I love going to open houses. It was at one of these open houses that we met Scott. We instantly knew he was one of the best real estate agents in Los Angeles. Scott's friendly personality and sharp knowledge about the home he was showing was very impressive. We called Scott when it was time to sell one of our investment homes. Scott helped us with every part of the transaction, from how to remodel, contractor referrals and staging. Ultimately, we received multiple offers on our home and sold it for $100,000 more than what we ever expected we would. He also helped us navigate through a tough Buyer's repair request (the buyer wanted $25,000 in repair credit and Scott negotiated them down to only $8,000). We could not have done this without Scott. Scott's is also one of the hardest workers we know. He showed up the day after renovations were done with an amazing photographer, did Tuesday open houses, weekend opens houses and personally showed the home to every potential buyer (unlike a lot of other agents who just leave a key at the home). Scott will definitely be our forever agent whether we are buying or selling homes.
- Zabi Nowaid, Senior Counsel California Resources Corporation
From Ulrick Damborg: Scott came to our rescue after our existing realtor let us down. We were already under contract and we needed someone to step in quickly and help us get to the finish line. Scott turned out to be the consummate pro. Well versed in the process as well as the real estate documents, he guided us with a sure hand through the entire process. He went above and beyond in helping us set up appointments and deal with issues as they arose, even after we closed. We had a challenging home-buying experience, and he kept us sane throughout. He is a great communicator, very knowledgeable and a fantastic real estate agent. From Amelia Damborg: We recently relocated from Texas to California. We found our dream home in Calabasas but the realtor we were working with was not sufficient. So, the relocation company recommended another. Enter, Scott Hillandbrand who saved the transaction and our sanity! He personally attended to every aspect of the home inspection, mortgage process and closing. For example, Scott ensured that the title company and the mortgage broker were on the same schedule, that we had all the extra inspections we wanted, and that repairs were done on time and in budget. He was, in essence, the project manager for the purchase. He answered each of our questions clearly and promptly, whether by email, phone or text. In all honestly, we could not have purchased our home with anyone else. Only he could have gotten us over the finish line. Scott was a sophisticated, aggressive negotiator but he was also incredibly polite and patient during a very stressful time. We would recommend Scott to our family and our friends without hesitation. He is the best.
- Ulrick Damborg & Amelia Damborg
Scott Hillenbrand saved the day for me. I had my condo listed with a real estate agent duo from another company for three months. It was a frustrating mess. I had been promised stellar marketing and profession photographs, and ended up with neither. I even had to take my own pictures and write my own property details. I thought I was stuck with them for the remainder of the six month contract, but thankfully a friend educated me and walked me through cancellation of the contract. And the best thing she did was introduce me to Scott. He swooped in, helped me stage the condo and had beautiful photos taken for the listing a virtual tour. While the previous realtors had promised a brokers' open house, they never did it. After a week off the market to do the staging and photos, we relisted on a Monday at a price higher than the other realtors wanted me to list it, had the brokers' open house on a Tuesday, got a verbal full price offer on Wednesday and the actual offer on Thursday. After 30 days, we had closed the sale and I was on my way to my new adventures. Scott handled everything with skill and aplomb. His artistic talent at staging a home to show it at its best, and his marketing and people skills, plus just being a nice guy, make it easy for me highly recommend him. He's the best!
- Linda R. Retired FBI Agent
Scott is the best. He made a difficult transaction with a UK buyer and a seller located in Asia go smoothly and efficiently. He was also happy to help with the little bumps along the way. Our client PSY ( "Gangnam Style" Singer/Songwriter) was very happy.

This letter is to conform my appreciation for Mr. Scott Hillenbrand. Prior to working with Mr. Hillenbrand I had contracted another Realtor which was of no help. Mr. Hillenbrand was well recommended through a friend which was not at all wrong. Mr Hillenbrand was very helpful with me for 2.5 months in finding the perfect home me as well for my family. Mr. Hillenbrand was with me through all the steps in making this a professional journey. Never pushy, extremely professional and I strongly recommend him to anyone interested in buying a home. I know that 5 stars is great but I give him 10 stars. Thank you for all your help, your really did a great job! Thank you and God bless!
- Aida L. Lopez
I used Scott to sell my condo in Sherman Oaks this summer and he was OUTSTANDING! I'm in the real estate business but in another state and before choosing a real estate agent, I conducted a lot of research to see who would be the best choice based on the investment they make into selling the property (time and effort, not necessarily financially) and how they promote their listings. Scott stood out as the best Sherman Oaks has to offer and I could tell he put a lot of work into his listings through the media. My situation was also unique because I was living out of state which required him to be present and help with the inspections when I had a tenant leave PLUS when selling the condo. He never failed me once during the time and was always prompt on his replies. Scott spent hours answering my questions, providing objective data regarding how many condos sold in the area, how long his listings typically stay on the market, and providing tons of info on comps in the area. Scott made the process incredibly easy and took extra steps many other Realtors don't (but should), like having successful broker opens, having professional photographs taken, and a ton more unique selling activities. His hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a home really paid off – my listing looked amazing and knocked out the competition. It wasn't long before my condo sold in a time which is typically a slower time in real estate sales. Then he walked me through every step of the closing process, since I don't practice real estate in California some parts were different than my state. It couldn't have been a more pleasant experience. I would highly recommend Scott as he's a true professional and a genuinely nice guy. I realize it won't always be this easy to sell your home, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better Realtor.

We recently transitioned from living part-time in our Porter Ranch condo to living full-time in a Porter Ranch home. Scott Hillenbrand did a great job of representing us on both sides of our move -- helping us find and buy a wonderful home and bringing us a charming couple to rent our condo as soon as we were out. This was our first time using Scott, but he impressed us at every stage of our house hunting and subsequent transactions. Scott always responded promptly to our calls and requests, and he quickly arranged showings to help us make the most of our visits to Porter Ranch. Scott was very responsive in tweaking our search filters to find us a suitable home, as we learned more about the neighborhoods, price range and features that we thought might work for us. Scott worked closely with the other realtors to help us understand the history of the house, remodels and repairs, as well as the seller's motivations and concerns that might influence our offer and negotiations. When we located a home we liked, Scott was proactive in helping us craft and present an offer that would allow us to buy the house without getting caught up in a bidding war. Scott stayed on top of things throughout the negotiations, inspections and escrow process to keep us informed and moving forward. Once the deal was closed, Scott referred us to an excellent painter and handyman to help us get the house fixed up for our move-in. We will definitely turn to Scott for any future real estate needs, and we highly recommend Scott to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the west valley.

We just bought our dream home and it would truly not have been without Scott Hillenbrand. Having worked with several agents I have come to know that it's not just about finding the right home but your agent being your advisor and having the art of negotiating the deal! This was what made all the difference in our case where Scott helped us at every step and even negotiate an extension to close the purchase. Scott is extremely passionate about people. He his extremely knowledgable, professional and was always available when I needed him 7 days a week. He has excellent team of people working for him. One of the best decisions I made was to select his mortgage broker and his local escrow company which helped the entire transaction go seamlessly. It was as if we had an entire set of people working for us toward closing the deal; I got the best advise, excellent rate and stress free on-time closing. We would recommend Scott to anyone buying or selling in a heartbeat!
- Manish Arora
Dear Scott: Tim and I would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU for all you hard work in getting our house sold. From the initial meeting, to the professional photographs and open houses, all the way through to the final closing of escrow. - You kept us updated every step of the way, from comments made during open houses, both positive and negative, you always gave us the facts and never told us what we wanted to hear. You were available anytime we needed to contact you via phone, email or text and was always upbeat and positive. You worked tirelessly on the negotiations and got us what we needed. - You are a true asset to your company and we would recommend you without any hesitation.
- Alison and Tim
Hi Scott, I really appreciate all your work. I want to thank you for all your time in advising me to find the perfect house. You are a professional, honest and loyal guy. Thank you for being there for us. I will recommend you with all my heart, you are not only my agent, you became a good friend. Thank you for all your hard work.
- Meni Bar
Hi Scott, I want to thank you for being a great real estate agent. My home purchase has all been a pleasure because of you and your company's determination to get the job done. I had to take the time to let you know, you did an awesome job helping me buy my beautiful home. Words can not express the experience that I had. I have to say answering all of my questions, returning all of my phone calls, you made the process so easy to get through. You are not just my realtor but someone I consider a friend. Again, you have brought happiness to me and my family. Keep up the good work.
- Avinash Sharma
After renting for years, my husband and I slowly began dipping our toes into the real estate market by attending open houses. We fortuitously met Scott at one such event and while we didn't purchase that unit we quickly found another one that we were in love with. It was an extremely competitive situation and Scott was very attentive, quickly responding to emails and phone calls, and his advice was not only helpful but is very likely what helped us close the deal on our first home. I wouldn't hesitate to refer Scott or to use him again.
- Ali & Paul Drenning
We appreciate Scott's expertise, professionalism and promptness with handling our real estate transaction. Throughout the process, we had several questions and Scott was willing and able to help us understand the process which made buying our home a smooth and successful transaction. Highly Recommended!
- Huma and Mohsin Bhurawala

The risk of falling into rent arrears can be reduced by taking account of the following contributory factors.
Housing Benefit claims – has the form been completed and returned? If not this will mean that you miss out on housing benefit, leaving you liable to pay full weekly rent. Substantial arrears can quickly build-up over a relatively short period of time.
reduce the risk: make sure that you fully complete and return any housing benefit application or review form as soon as possible. The longer you leave it the more likely it is that you will start to build up rent arrears. If you are ever unsure or want advice about housing benefit then call the helpline on 01242 264341.
Household changes – have you had children or a relationship breakdown? Households that have or are experiencing changes, such as an increase in the number of dependants or a relationship breakdown can be faced with a number of practical and personal issues.
reduce the risk: by contacting your Housing Revenues Officer to immediately inform them of any difficulties that you are experiencing; the officer will listen to you and will be able to give helpful advice. You can also contact a local independent advice agency.
Employment status – are you newly unemployed or have lost some income from a job? People who have become recently unemployed can suffer a marked drop in income and will have to investigate new spending budgets and benefit entitlements. This problem can be made even more complex if the main earner in the household is in casual employment and is in and out of work.
reduce the risk: make sure that you apply for housing benefit straight away. Housing benefit is a scheme to help people who are on a low income, or receiving income support/job seeker's allowance, to pay their rent to the council. The amount of benefit you can get depends on a number of factors. For more information about Housing Benefits call their helpline on 01242 264341
Other financial commitments – do you have competing bills to pay or have you received a large bill? Competing bills can place considerable financial strain on households with low incomes. A large bill can upset the delicate balance between income and outgoings. Some tenants may borrow money to pay for other bills and debts which can lead to even more problems.
reduce the risk: contact your local advice agency if you are struggling to cope with your finances and any debts. Local advice agencies will provide tenants with free independent debt counselling to assist them with their financial problems
Poor health – are you sufferring sickness or ill health?
Sickness or ill health can be a major cause of financial and personal issues that can lead to income being adversely affected.
reduce the risk: in the first instance contact your local Housing Revenues Officer to immediately inform them of any difficulties that you are experiencing. If your income has been affected then you may be entitled to assistance towards your rent by Housing Benefit
These factors may affect the income and outgoings in your home. If any of these issues relate to you, please contact your Housing Revenue Officer, who will be able to advise you on your next steps and offer information, support and advice.

The old chalkboard hanging behind the counter lists what's coming up & going on in the shop!
Seems we're pretty much skipping spring & going straight to summer...again...seems to be a trend the last few years, thanks to the darn global warming! I must say, I am NOT a summer person...I always say in the winter you can add more layers...in the summer you can only take OFF so much! Ha! The only thing I DO like about summer is being able to have a big display all things patriotic! I LOVE americana goodes, flags, etc. & you'll find all sorts of these goodes in the shop by mid-May! I'll post here when ready!
I shot this picture of Callie (our shop cat) Saturday. She knows where to stay cool ~ sitting on top of our antique Coca-Cola box (still works! with ice cold glass bottle drinks for sale). You'll find her here on those hot days waiting to greet you!

Officials will re-evaluate plans for a new East Jefferson Levee District headquarters in Kenner after hearing opposition from residents worried that the project would create problems for neighbors and for mourners at nearby historic cemeteries.
The new building is planned for an area of south Kenner next to two traditionally African-American burial grounds, the Love and Charity and Belle Grove cemeteries. Neighbors said the plan, which would cover several blocks and shut down at least two streets, would create havoc with funeral processions.
Combined with the noise, heavy equipment and materials such as sand piles planned for the site, those fears caused several dozen residents to voice their concerns at a meeting Thursday of the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East, which oversees the levee district.
"We're asking for respect. We're asking for the will and wishes of the people to be heard, approved and acted on," resident James Evans said.
The authority agreed to send plans for the new headquarters to a committee for review. That committee will include Flood Protection Authority President Stephen Estopinal, Commissioner Wilton "Paul" Tilly, Regional Director Bob Turner, East Jefferson Levee District Executive Director Fran Campbell and a resident of the community, the Rev. Robert Tanner.
"I'm going to be a member of that committee, and I'm going to urge very strongly we do not purchase these streets," Estopinal said.
Plans for the new headquarters have been under discussion for years, as the levee district has sought to consolidate facilities that now are scattered throughout the parish. Initial plans would have shut down four streets in the area, though the current proposal calls for purchasing and closing only Alton Street and Warren Street.
Levee district officials said other features of the project, including a parking lot that could be used by those attending funerals, would mitigate its impact.
But opponents of the plan said the current setup, which sees mourners parking on the streets, has not caused problems, and they complained that a traffic study conducted for the project looked at only a single funeral in the area.
While traffic and the street closings were the focus of residents' concerns, some also argued the project would not fit with nearby neighborhoods. Current plans call for sand and other materials to be stored on the site, though officials said they would look into alternative locations for storage.
Kenner City Councilman Gregory Carroll, who represents the area, said the project goes against the wishes of the community and is insensitive to those whose loved ones are buried in the cemeteries nearby.
"You're spending money for something we don't want," Carroll said.

Some time back an American President posed the thought that in the swift rush of world events we find ourselves groping to make sense of the times in which we live.
"Are we nearing the light?" Dwight Eisenhower asked, "Or are the shadows of another night closing in on us?"
And then he added: Science seems ready to confer upon us as its final gift, the power to erase human life from this planet."
Those words have never left me. They seem to address the timelessness of the human predicament, made all the more urgent by the thermonuclear reality that haunted (haunts) us all. Then came the Cuban Missile Crisis, President Kennedy's assassination and the overtures to the Vietnam Conflict – shocker events in what historian Michael Beschloss rightly names "The Crisis Years."
By that time I had been listening to a quasi-fundamentalist radio preacher who, I later realized, did not have the whole truth about the Bible by any means, but taught what he knew with uncommon conviction, authority and even optimism.
Those lessons too stayed with me and I proceeded, as best I could, to look for Biblical parallels to the events that seem to come flying out at us like targets in a skeet shoot.
This web site is the latest result of that half-century of investigation and commentary on world affairs. It seeks to connect the events and trends of this complex world with the best of the Biblical revelation. Over the course of nearly 500 books, articles, reviews, essays, commentaries, interviews, scripts and television shows, I have found that there is reassurance, wisdom and hope in a life lived in light of a balanced perspective on Scripture.
Hailing from a family of teachers I have natural bent to share these insights with those who may benefit from them.
Hopefully you are one of them.

In a project showing some serious dedication, graphic designer Remy Boire and artist Xavier Casalta teamed up to create a single illustration. That might not sound like much, but the whole thing was created using pointillism, the practice of creating lines, shapes, and shadows with nothing but dots (it"s also known as stippling). The result, from a distance, looks like a smoothly shaded drawing, but it"s entirely made of black ink dots and lines on white paper. Casalta has worked with pointillism for over a year, perfecting the spacing of the dots to create the illusion of a solid tone. He estimates that he can lay down four to eight dots per second.
Boire and Casalta met up several times over the course of a few months. They clocked some 300 hours of work on the single piece. The illustration measures 22 by 30 inches. The plaque in the center was entirely created from dots. The branches and decorative elements surrounding it are linework, which is still pretty impressive.
The words on the illustration, "Patience & Discipline," reflect, of course, the hours of dedication, cramped fingers, and concentration that went into creating this piece. As Casalta explains, "Through this collaboration, we wanted to express the importance of careful planning and craftsmanship. But ultimately, we wanted to show that anything was possible with hard work, time, and commitment."
You can buy prints of the piece at their Behance page, and you can also check out Boire"s and Casalta"s online shops.

We asked four individuals – an alumnus, a staff member, a faculty member, and a current student – the following question:
How much influence can/do/should students have on campus affairs?
Christopher Kennedy '99
Owner, Christopher Kennedy Design
"Serving as Drury's student body president for two years made me realize the importance of student voices. I think it's vital for students to be heard, and at Drury there are many avenues of communication.
I learned the importance of sharing my opinions in appropriate and constructive ways, and it is a lesson that serves me well to this day. Complaining just to complain is rarely effective; creating change means being part of the solution, and it requires time, ideas and commitment.
As I have gotten older, I have also learned the value of wisdom and experience."
Rosalyn Thomas
Diversity Support Services Coordinator
"To say we give students a voice is as inaccurate as saying the cow jumped over the moon. When we consider the current decision-making process at the university, do we see opportunities for students to be involved? How do we give students something they already have: a voice?
All campus community members should remember that we display strength by listening, not using our voices to silence others.
Student voices have the power to bring about positive and powerful change, but we must all try to understand each other's views — and, yes, sometimes engage in lively arguments with one another. We must all be willing to speak with clear voices and listen with clear ears."
Karen Spence
Associate Professor - Architecture
"I often think that students have little awareness of their power in conversations about campus issues. I believe students should realize their voice—not to play victim but to engage in keeping university standards high and continue to raise them.
In architecture, we often say that the greater the challenges of the problem, the more innovative the solutions become.
It is possible to address everything in this way—from life in general to university concerns such as budgets, faculty changes and program developments. Student involvement is a key part of this creative way forward."
Asher Tillman
Theatre Major, Class of 2018
"Drury students are seeing an administrative pattern of waiting to tell students why a change is needed until after the fallout of the change has begun.
The student body is itching to be more involved with big decisions that impact our education, and we wish the administration had communicated this year's changes more proactively.
When the leaders of an institution make changes to its students' education without telling them why, they are opening a Pandora's Box of confusion, anger, hurt and speculation."

|Before you start coding your all new ecommerce website, you should never forget to preceed it with a proper graphics design. If you don't have a proper plan (e.g. where to put the menu, how will it look the best - a drop down or a simple vertical array of links on the left pane), then you will soon start to mess it up - if not in the first page, then somewhere in the middle. It's always better to start the whole thing by making a sketch and later on just following the pattern. You'll need to do some site planning first. What is the purpose of your website? Who are you designing your website for? How will you measure the success of your website?
Ecommerce website designThe more compelling the design, the deeper the response. By more compelling, I don't mean prettier, necessarily, or artsier. I mean richer, more complete, more efficient. The design I'm talking about isn't about making something only look better, but actually function better. Design has to do with how a thing works.
All sites are created for a particular purpose. Some were created so that their owners can sell something. Others are information resources. Still others are designed to showcase their owner's talents (such as sites displaying the owner's resumes and portfolios).

There has been much commentary and speculation on the potential impact on intellectual property rights following the UK's decision to leave the EU. To help inform the debate the UK Intellectual Property Office has recently published a guide on the future of UK intellectual property (IP) laws following the Brexit vote.
Aim of the guidance
The guide is helpfully divided into separate sections for different IP rights, namely trade marks, designs, patents, copyright and the enforcement of IP rights.
- Trade Marks
Currently, while the UK remains a full member of the EU, EU Trade Marks (EUTMs) remain valid in the UK. Once the UK has 'Brexited', UK businesses can continue to register EUTMs which will ensure protection of their trade marks in the remaining EU Member States.
For EUTM rights holders that wish to ensure their current registrations provide protection in the UK, the position is less clear. The UK Government is currently considering available options. It is thought, but has yet to be confirmed, that a system will be put in place to ensure that holders of EUTMs will have their rights extended to include the UK once the UK has left the EU.
The international trade mark system, the Madrid System, remains available for use by UK businesses enabling users to protect trade marks in up to 113 territories (including the EU) through the filing of a single central application. The UK's membership of the Madrid System will not be affected by Brexit.
The IPO is also inviting comments on how UK IP professionals can secure rights to represent their clients before the EU Intellectual Property Office.
- Designs
As with trade marks, for so long as the UK remains a full member of the EU, Registered Community Designs (RCDs) remain valid in the UK. Following Brexit, UK businesses will be able to continue to register RCDs securing protection in the remaining EU Member States.
Once again, the UK Government is considering the long-term coverage of RCDs, including how existing RCDs might extend to the UK.
Additionally, the UK Government has confirmed its intention to ratify the Hague Agreement. This will provide businesses with the opportunity to register up to 100 designs in over 65 territories through one single international application.
Unregistered designs will continue to be protected through the UK unregistered design right.
- Patents
The European Patent Convention is not impacted by Brexit. Brexit has no effect on the ability of UK businesses to apply to the European Patent Office (EPO) for patent protection or to obtain patents from the EPO which apply to the UK. The validity of existing European patents covering the UK will not be affected.
Additionally, the UK is still a Contracting Member State of the Unified Patent Court (UPO) and the IPO foresees no immediate changes on this front. Therefore, at the present time UK ratification of the Unified Patent Court still remains necessary.
- Copyright
UK copyright laws will continue to comply with EU copyright directives while the UK remains a member of the EU. The terms of exit negotiations will dictate the legal effect of EU directives and regulations post-Brexit. The IPO notes that UK copyright works will be protected around the world even after the UK leaves the EU as the UK is a member of numerous international treaties and agreements.
- Enforcement
There have been no changes to the UK's enforcement framework (for the moment). The process for intercepting counterfeits and other infringing goods at the UK border also remains unchanged.

St. Paul's has used the phrase "we preach Christ crucified" as an unofficial slogan for many years. We've placed it at the top of our website home page. It's on the front cover of our Sunday worship folders. Some people have expressed great approval of the phrase's use. Others have questioned it.
Though I don't know the full story of its beginnings here, I can easily see why our congregation would embrace it. First, it is a short and distinct statement made by our namesake – the Apostle Paul. In his first letter to the church at Corinth St. Paul begins his message by lifting up the importance of the cross. He says: "For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God" (1:17-18).
Paul knows that a message about a crucified savior is difficult for many people to accept. It seems rather counter-intuitive. Don't saviors normally rule and reign? Many of Paul's own people, the Jews, were waiting for a Messiah who would lead their return to glory. News about the death of Jesus meant an end to his movement in most people's minds.
But Paul persisted in his message. Christ needed to die – and more than just die but be killed – so that he could become the sacrifice needed to atone for the world's sin. In his letter to the church at Rome he explained: "God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (5:8). And to the church at Philipp he said: "he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross" (2:8).
The cross is central to the Christian faith. New trends notwithstanding, crosses have been central features of most church's architecture. The Christian faith, from the beginning, has been understood as flowing out of the message of Christ crucified.
This is not meant in any way to take away from the message of Christ's resurrection. Paul would go on to write a whole glorious chapter (15) about the resurrection of Christ to those same Corinthian Christians. And he would begin his powerful treatise to the Romans by explaining that Jesus "was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead" (1:4). Indeed, Paul's own faith was grounded in the fact that he had seen the risen Lord Jesus appear to him on the road to Damascus. Likewise the Church's greatest celebration is of Christ's resurrection at Easter—a celebration that we recall each Sunday.
And yet, with all of this in mind, there is also a place for the so-called "theology of the cross." Martin Luther used this phrase to contrast a true theology with that which can be described as "a theology of glory." A theology of glory exalts man's abilities or focuses on man's strivings. A theology of the cross focuses on man's need for God and God's means of salvation. As Luther once famously said: "He deserves to be called a theologian, however, who comprehends the visible and manifest things of God seen through suffering and the cross."
It is certainly, in part, because of this Lutheran emphasis that St. Paul's employs the "we preach Christ crucified" slogan. It speaks to our heritage and methodology. We don't just skip right to Easter but emphasize all of Holy Week. We observe the season of Lent. We sing hymns in both major and minor keys. We endure suffering without panic or turning away. We're not afraid of a little guilt. These things and others define a Lutheran practice and flow from our understanding of a crucified Christ. If we seem to over-emphasize it from time to time it's only because it seems there is a dearth of such understanding in the greater Church today.
Luther understood that it is always tempting to focus on the things we can do and our desires for happiness. But such emphases lead us to forget God's ways. True joy comes from knowing that God overcomes our human failures. He has forgiven our sins and called us to Himself. That is the life Christ offers. It flows from his crucifixion and connects us to his resurrection. That we might truly live!
