(Bloomberg) Medical expenses remain out of control in the U.S., where Americans have an unsustainable attitude that ignores the increasing cost of health care, the chief executive officer of insurer Aetna Inc. said.
While the rise in medical costs has slowed since the last recession, the U.S. still needs to switch to a fundamentally different system that pays for the quality of care rather than the quantity, Mark Bertolini said in a Bloomberg Television interview from Davos, Switzerland.
Our health care costs are not under control right now, Bertolini said. We really need to look at how health care is delivered and how we pay for it. Today, we pay for each piece of work done and so we get a lot of pieces of work done.
Spending on drugs, hospitals and other services rose 3.7% in 2012, half the rate from before the recession that ended in 2009. While Bertolini ascribed the slowdown to the economy, the U.S. health care law known as Obamacare also has encouraged collaborations among doctors and hospitals to coordinate patient care. Companies including Hartford, Connecticut-based Aetna, the third-biggest U.S. insurer, have started their own accountable care partnerships.
Instead of a medical system of solo practitioners, U.S. health care needs to bring the whole team together to get the right services to patients, Bertolini said from Davos, where he was attending the World Economic Forum.
Americans are gaining more control and more responsibility for their medical bills, Bertolini said, with individuals paying about 40 percent of costs through premiums, deductibles and other charges.
Bertolini said he has first-hand experience with a confusing U.S. health care system he described as a maze. The CEO injured his spinal cord in a 2004 skiing accident and donated a kidney to his son in 2007.
Were heading toward a consumer market, the CEO said. Consumers want choice. They want it to be simple and they want it to be about them and right now, we dont have a system that does that for them.

BioLargo Launches Odor-No-More(TM)
Products Helping Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
IRVINE, CA–(Marketwire – May 13, 2009) – BioLargo, Inc. (OTCBB: BLGO) is pleased to announce the formal launch of its Odor-No-More™ (www.OdorNoMore.com) family of animal health products, helping create "Cleaner and Dryer = Safer and Healthier" animal facilities. The flagship product is a super absorbent deodorizing animal bedding additive which reduces bedding and labor costs, controls moisture, eliminates odors, and helps reduce greenhouse gases. It is complemented by the Facilities and Equipment Wash and Cat Litter Additive, each with similar benefits.
Legendary Hall of Fame Thoroughbred trainer Mr. Jack Van Berg commented "My paddock smells cleaner and we remove less soiled bedding when cleaning the stalls. In my 50+ years in the industry, training legendary horses and winning the biggest races, I have not seen any product that can out perform the Odor-No-More™ products."
Master Farrier and Reined Cow Horse trainer for 30+ years Rocky Waldt states, "I tested them extensively, recommend them to my customers, and use them throughout my own facility. My fly population is down significantly and I believe the products will be very beneficial to the long-term hoof health of my animals."
"Our test customers and experts urged us to bring these products to market because they work so well and fill a void in the marketplace", says BioLargo VP of Operations and Product Manager Joe Provenzano.
BioLargo's President, Dennis Calvert states, "This is a great example of how our BioLargo technology makes products better. We believe these products will continue to enhance our technology licensing efforts with global leaders in major industries."

Try doing any of those things with a novel
I've never considered myself a short story writer. I read them—and enjoy them–but I never feel as satisfied when I'm done with them as when I read a novel.
Yet here I am, reviving a short story that I've been working on for a few years. I have twenty-six saved versions of this story (with four different working titles) on my laptop. When I originally wrote it—back in 2014—the total word count was eleven thousand words. I've condensed it to five thousand words. As you can imagine, it doesn't read like the original story. (And that's a good thing–I've reread the original story.)
Why revive this project if I couldn't finish it in 2014—or 2016—or 2017?
The need to complete a piece of writing is driving me, not exactly insane…more like to write. Something that I can submit for publication. Or rejection. Going back and forth working on the novels of my Woodbury trilogy without making any discernible progress has left me frustrated, unsure of my ability to write and revise, over and over, until I can say it is as good as it gets.
Just possibly, I'm finding that writing a short story is good practice for writing a novel. (Or just for learning how to write.)
With my short story, I can revise the entire piece in a day less than a week, submit it to my group for critique, and, within six days, I can produce another revision. Of the entire story. I can keep track of the changes I'm making from the beginning to the end of the story. I can reread the entire story each time I work on it. Try doing any of those things with a novel.
A major problem I am facing with my short story is fitting in all the scenes and dialogue that I need with a limited word count. I believe the story can be told in five thousand words. But I am beginning to suspect that I need more words than that to write it. It's easier to take words out than to have to add them in. Or so I've been told. Maybe I'll just ignore that nagging word count on the bottom left of my screen and write.
Does this mean I will abandon my trilogy for the pleasure of writing short stories? Doesn't strike me as likely right at the moment. Though I can envision always having a short story in progress to turn to whenever I need the instant gratification I can't get from writing a novel.
A long way to go before the butterfly emerges
Over the past two days I have written the following: 1) a confession by a murderer; 2) an abduction; 3) a car crash; and 4) a suicide—all of which transpire in the matter of about an hour or less. This is all part of the transformation of my novel, Anne, from women's fiction to a murder mystery. Though I know it won't be long until I have to rework the parts of the novel I've written in the past, for now I am having fun adding new scenes.
Yikes. Did I just say that I am having fun writing about people committing murder? The "real" me, not the "writer" me, does not like to think about people (or pets) dying. Who does? So how am I able to kill off my characters without shedding a tear? Heartless, I suppose. But only when it comes to fictional characters. I'd be remiss if I didn't give some credit to my fellow bloggers on Thursday Night Writes who have paved the way with their own heartless stories of murder and mayhem.
There's still one more death to go but that one was written a few years ago as part of Olivia. Though originally the result of an accident, the death could benefit from a few tweaks to make it more sinister, maybe a full-fledged murder!
I'm excited to be reworking what I now realize was a flat story about family relationships into an exciting murder mystery, albeit not your typical Tana French mystery with a plethora of suspects. At this point in the writing I do not have any suspects, other than the guilty party. Naturally I'm concerned that the "zero suspects" approach will be less than satisfactory to "my" readers. But I remind myself that it's still early in the process—the chrysalis has a long way to go before the butterfly emerges.
A lack of suspects isn't my only concern with "Anne." I'm afraid that I'm front-loading the novel with the stuff that keeps readers of murder mysteries turning the pages.
Did I mention that I don't have a sleuth? And many miles to go with Anne?
Icebergs in Arizona
If a writer of prose knows enough about what he is writing about he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them. The dignity of movement of an ice-berg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water. A writer who omits things because he does not know them only makes hollow places in his writing.
—Ernest Hemingway in Death in the Afternoon
Gabby has me diving into the freezing cold water of the North Atlantic, searching for the seven-eighths of my book that is underwater. Although just a meager portion of the seven-eighths, this is what I've uncovered:
- Subplot. I've fleshed out a murder subplot that wasn't in the original NaNoWriMo novel. I wasn't certain I even could use it when it appeared but I've grown to like it. I've been massaging it, expanding it, and I can see its potential as both a red herring and a means of inserting more of the backstory of some characters.
- Murderer. I've changed the murderer. This is big!! And it's involved reworking not just the murder itself but also relationships among the characters. This change helped me flesh out the relationship between a mother and daughter, going back eighteen years to the daughter's conception.
- Conflicts. You can never have too many of those, can you? Possibly in your real life but not in a book. My NaNoWriMo conflicts were superficial but now I've created some meaningful ones that will help Gabby develop into a well-rounded, mature woman.
- Family history. I've delved further into the history of the paternal side of the protagonist's family, starting with the life of her great-grandfather. One of the perks of being an author is that you are in control of what happened generations ago that affects your living characters. It's more fun, and easier, than using Ancestry.com.
- Whodunit? Most recently I have visited with each of my characters in order to discover who he or she thinks is the murderer. Through these conversations, I have learned more about my characters' flaws, as well as gained some insight into where I need to place clues.
At this point, working with the separate parts of the structure of the novels means that I will have to fit all of this information together to form the novel. It is going to be like taking the pieces from numerous jigsaw puzzles and jamming the pieces together to create one much larger puzzle, all the while looking under the sofa and the coffee table for the missing pieces that make up the dreaded hollow places.
During all of this, I haven't written one word that increases the word count of the novel. And that's okay. For now.
October whispers in my ear
October is here and we in northern New Hampshire know what the forecast is. Changing seasons: shorter, cooler days. Turning leaves: tour buses, leaf peepers. Flipping the family photo calendar: grandchildren clad in Halloween costumes, my mother's birthday. Swapping out my wardrobe: fleece, socks and sneakers. Fall cleaning: screens down, deck furniture in.
October whispers in my ear: I know you're busy but don't forget that NaNoWriMo is on its way. November first is less than thirty days away now. Don't you always say you are going to start preparing for NaNoWriMo in October? Get your outline and character sketches done so that you can just start typing away on November 1 with your outline for reference? I bet you can exceed 50,000 words if you do that.
This year I have a response. Listen, October, stop bugging me. I am working on an outline for NaNoWriMo. I already have my characters' names with personalities formed, allowing for more novels to follow. I've drawn a rough map of the town where the murder takes place. I'm reading Louise Penny's "Inspector Gamache" novels to make sure that I don't end up copying her quaint, idyllic, deadly town.
It's a real temptation, especially as this area of New Hampshire abounds with similar towns: a town common or green surrounded by old churches, old stately homes, old maples, old, white fence, old pines adorned with Christmas lights. Possibly a gazebo decked with red ribbons and sparkly snow. You get the drift….
My fictional town of Woodbury wears a blue-collar attitude. A diner instead of a bistro. An auto repair shop in place of a bookstore. A run-down motel instead of a B & B. The hub of the town? A Village Store where the locals go to catch up on all the gossip they missed at the diner. And let's not forget the farms on the dirt roads spiking out of Woodbury. Beyond town lies another world, a lake populated with out-of-state visitors, some who visit for the summer, most just a week or two.
And there's plenty more. I think I am in better shape than I have ever been for NaNoWriMo.
So take that, October.
Diagnosis: I'm suffering from TCTW Syndrome
I had forty-five minutes of free time Friday morning and thought that would make a nice block of time to focus on writing my blog post. There wasn't anything else I could do. Except breathe. I even had ear plugs and headphones on. My eyes were shut and I had strict instructions to not move. What was left to do but think?
So think I did. But not about my writing. I thought about the three inches between my face and the "ceiling". About holding my breath for what seemed like forever. About the noise coming out of the "casket" I was lying in. About the ball in my hand that I could squeeze and immediately would be rescued. From my MRI.
The diagnosis? I am suffering from Too Cranky To Write (TCTW) syndrome. The cure for this? I thought it was hot fudge sundaes and espresso coffee bean ice cream but alas that hasn't worked.
On Saturday, just when I'd given up hope of ever writing again due to the TCTW delivering a fatal blow to my creative juices, we drove by the abandoned house where I've staged a murder in one of my abandoned novels. My mind rewound to this novel and almost instantly I conjured a new murderer and a new plot twist. (Now I want to abandon my current project and return to the old novel. I hate when that happens.)
I've driven by this house hundreds of times, taken photos of it for inspiration for the setting. Then how, after all these years of staring at the house, did I miss the red fire hydrant on the front lawn? Or even worse, the damn fire station right next door? I can't have that. It would be hard to explain the house burning down with the fire department as a neighbor.
As best as I can figure, I've been so fixated on the house that I've not even noticed its surroundings. That happens in my writing as well. I become hyperfocused on one aspect of the plot and fail to see what else should be happening. Or what my characters who are waiting in the wings for their cues are doing.
What I find of interest is how this relates to Heidi's most recent blog. The house is an actual character in the novel with a crucial role to play. Unfortunately, as occasionally happens to human characters, it has to be sacrificed for the benefit of another character.
And just like that, I've banished my TCTW syndrome. All it took was a moment with a mystery that's been on the back burner (or in the wood stove pile) and I'm writing again. But I'm still a wee bit cranky….

New Sponsorships, Worthing FC & Steyning Town CFC
Here we are then, the new football season just over the horizon, and we're announcing our sponsorships for the 2017/2018 campaign.
As many of our readers will know, we've been sponsoring a players kit at my beloved Brighton & Hove Albion for the past ten seasons. Sadly the upshot of the Seagulls promotion to the Premier League means that the cost of kit sponsorship has quadrupled, to a rate that we just can't afford.
So, where do we go from here? Well, I'm a bit of a footie addict, and when Brighton haven't been playing I've been watching a couple of local non league sides, Worthing FC and Steyning Town CFC, so that's who oldfootballshirts.com are going to put some sponsorship into.
Worthing FC play in the Bostik League Premier League, the seventh tier of English league football. Their stadium is Woodside Road in central Worthing, boasting a 3G pitch and an excellent fan base with some of the biggest crowds in the league. Nicknamed the Mackerel Men, and also known as the Rebels, we'll be sponsoring striker Omar Folkes' home and away kits for the season. Omar began as a youngster at Chelsea before playing at Southend, Kingstonian, Croydon, Whyteleafe and Merstham.
Steyning Town Community Football Club are in the Southern Combination Football League Division 1, and play at the fantastically named Shooting Fields. I spent my school years in Steyning, and recently met up with a old school friend who works at the club. After going to watch the team a few times last season, and enjoying the marvellous clubhouse and bar, I thought the Barrowmen would be an ideal team, so for next season we'll be sponsoring the kit of the clubs top scorer, Charlie Romain.
We'll continue to sponsor The Albion Roar, the unofficial Brighton fans radio show, with the legendary 'shirt of the week' feature provided by us.
That's all for now, I'll be providing some updates as the season progresses, and hopefully interviews with our sponsored players, in the meantime enjoy our website, and if you have any footie shirts that we don't have, we'd love to see some photos posted. www.oldfootballshirts.com

Birthdays are great! For my close friends I always organise a little gathering for drinkies in the evening, or a nice meal out! I try and go that little mile for my friends! As part of their day of surprises, I tend to send my friends a little electronic Happy Birthday greeting in my lunch break! I have done my research and tried loads of different sites, and have finally found the perfect Free Birthday e-Card site. This particular site has loads of different cards to choose from! and best of all it is totally free! I love e-Cards because they are better for the environment, no paper is needed so less trees to be chopped down! woop woop!!

Welcome to Nursery
Do you have any ideas for this page? If so, please talk to the teacher.
Have you seen the Kids' Zone? Play games and visit some cool websites. You can vote for your favourites.
The Nursery is open five days a week - Mondays to Fridays during term time. The morning session begins at 8.30 am and finishes at 11.30 am. The afternoon session begins at 12.30 pm and finishes at 3.30 pm. Each session can accept up to twenty six children. The Nursery is staffed by a Nursery Teacher, a Nursery Nurse and a Classroom Assistant.
Initially, the parents are invited to a meeting with the Headteachers where the parents are given some details about how the Nursery is run. Parents are then invited to an interview with the Nursery Staff and this allows the staff to discuss the children in more detail with their parents. Separation anxiety is dealt with very sensitively and children are settled in very gently and carefully. Parents are invited to discuss how well their child has settled in after the child has spent one half-term in the setting. Later on, during the academic year, parents are given a verbal report on their children's progress. This is then followed by an end of year school report.
The areas that are taught within the setting are :
Personal, Social and Emotional Development.
Physical Development.
Communication and Language.
Understanding of the World.
Expressive Arts and Design.
The children are encouraged to work on various activities in both the indoor and outdoor areas. There is a strong emphasis on experimenting with exploratory materials (such as playdough, compost, wet sand, jelly etc.), so as to encourage their curiosity.
Both the indoor and outdoor areas are set up on a daily basis to ensure that the areas of learning are covered.
From the start of the Spring term, the children are asked to complete a homework sheet once a week to help them with their pencil control skills and mathematical development. By Easter early reading will also be introduced. The children will start of with picture books to support their communication, language, and imaginary skills, and then onto early reading books with links to phonics, which by then the children will be aware of and be able to recoginse each sound of the alphabet. Please look at the phonics link below to help you understand the process of Letters and Sounds - The phonics programme used in nursery.
The children have the opportunity to take part in a 'Special Assembly', which will begin after Easter and parents are invited along, so as the children can show some of their art work. Parents will also be invited into Nursery for 'Stay and Play' and 'Stay and Read' sessions. The children will have an opportunity to show off their work, show parents what they enjoy playing with, singing songs and sharing their favourite stories. Dates for these sessions will be sent our in due course. The EYFS team also offer the chance for parents/carers to come along to a Literacy Workshop during the Autumn term. Although the workshop is based around Literacy; reading and writing, you will notice that all seven areas of the EYFS are closely linked and one of the areas cannot be engaged without linking another. This is a great opportunity to learn how to support your child's learning through playful and enjoyable activities.
We like to think that we create a happy and positive environment for our Nursery Children.
At Bishop Ridley we will be trialling our new and exciting curriculum 'Cornerstones' during the summer term. Come back soon to see what we have been up to!

If you suffer from Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS), you're far from alone. It has been suggested that the condition afflicts as much as 10% of the population. In most cases, RLS manifests as an uncomfortable prickling, itching, or crawling sensation in the legs, resulting in an irresistible urge to move them around to relieve the sensation.
There is no medical test for RLS, and doctors can easily fail to diagnose it. Sadly, there is also currently no known cure, and most treatments consist of leg massages, adjustment of sleep patterns, and limiting the intake of caffeine, tobacco, and alcohol. This video, however, presents an alternate solution - sleeping with a bar of soap in the bed.
It's thought that there may be some kind of ionization effect at play, although no official scientific research has been done to verify this claim. Still, there are people around the world who swear by this simple trick. All you need is a bar of soap and, if you feel like being fancy, a sock.
Remember to SHARE this video to help spread the word about this homegrown remedy!

Aaron Rodgers & Kelly Rohrbach Romance: 'Sparks Flew' Before Olivia Munn Split
Well this certainly puts Aaron Rodgers in a sticky situation. HollywoodLife.com has learned EXCLUSIVELY that he was already developing a connection with Kelly Rohrbach back in February while he was still tied to longtime girlfriend Olivia Munn. Uh-oh!
"Aaron [Rodgers] and Kelly [Rohrbach] hit it off at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro AM in February," an insider told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. "They had met a couple times before that at different golf events, but sparks were flying high when they spent time together at this year's tournament. They are set to participate in the annual charity fundraiser next year as well."
The 33-year-old Green Bay Packers quarterback and his longtime girlfriend, actress Olivia Munn, 36, broke up earlier this month and fans are now speculating as to whether or not the reason was the 27-year-old Baywatch babe.
After all, Aaron was reportedly the one who ended the near 3-year relationship and now we've found out he may already be dating another woman — a woman he was apparently cozying up to MONTHS ago.
The two were spotted playing a round of golf at the Westchester Golf Course in LA on April 27. If we were the X-Men: Apocalypse star, we would totally be swearing off golf right now!
Olivia Munn & Aaron Rodgers' Cutest Moments — PICS
Aaron reportedly broke up with Olivia because the rest of his family felt like she was too "controlling." If that's the case then we hope he finds happiness with Kelly, who clearly shares his interest in golf. But we also hope that he wasn't stepping out on Olivia when they were still together. Cause that's just not cool man.
HollywoodLifers, do you think that Aaron and Kelly started their romance while he was still with Olivia? Do you think he would really do that to Olivia? Give us all your thoughts below!

|[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-1542) Speculative execution used when property set to false
|Thu, 28 Jun 2007 06:13:26 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1542?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12508739 ] Devaraj Das commented on HADOOP-1542: ------------------------------------- It looks like the JobTracker is ignoring the mapred-default.xml config items and hence the speculative execution setting in mapred-default.xml is not reflected. However, on the tasktrackers, the mapred-default.xml indeed overrides the config in hadoop-site/hadoop-default.xml, and hence sees speculative execution switched off. This could be the cause of the dfs file-lost problem. Here's the theory (not yet validated from the source code): When the maps tries to create files on dfs, they try to the create the "final" files (as opposed to the speculative case where the output path for the files would point to task specific directories). Hence the spec instance of a map gets the AlreadyBeingCreatedException. Finally the JT, which thinks that spec exec is turned on, tries to rename the empty file path to its final destination and that overwrites the real file that the task originally created. > Speculative execution used when property set to false > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1542 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1542 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mapred > Reporter: Nigel Daley > Attachments: jobtracker.log, namenode.log > > > Speculative execution is now on by default. When running TestDFSIO, I set speculative execution off in my mapred-default.xml since this test has maps that create files in DFS (side-effects). > However, it seems that speculative tasks get started even though I have set speculation off. I'll attached the NN and JT logs. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Dissolved Oxygen Measurement
MJK Oxix provides data allowing you to control the amount of oxygen, thereby obtaining the optimal environment for biology process.
The right oxygen level makes your process more efficient, and ensures that you are not wasting energy on unnecessary operating of blowers and aerators.
Mounted on the float ball the Oxix sensor will at any given time measure the oxygen level on the same depth of the basin, providing excellent measuring repeatability.
The sensor is self-cleaning if you choose to use the built-in water / air spray nozzle; that will keep the sensor working with a minimum of manual maintenance.
Read the values on the display, or have data transferred directly into SCADA using the built-in ModBus capability.

News: Singtel is first in the world to trial AirTies' Wi-Fi Mesh™ technology with 'client steering'
WiFi network performance in homes is often impaired by many seemingly benign factors. WiFi dead zones – the bane of many customers with homes that are large or have multiple levels – can be attributed to router placement, home layouts, wall and floor thickness, furniture and interference from neighbouring networks. Quick fix options such as installing repeaters and range extenders can improve the situation, but with limited results.
To solve these issues, Singtel will be conducting a trial of AirTies' Wi-Fi Mesh™. This technology is widely deployed in enterprise-grade solutions to provide seamless outdoor WiFi access. AirTies' Wi-Fi Mesh ™ greatly improves home wireless coverage and performance by expanding and optimising Wi-Fi connections through its mesh and 'client steering' technologies.
Users in the trial will experience consistent bandwidth at high speeds that can support data-demanding applications. For example, they will be able to watch bandwidth-intensive HD Singtel TV on multiple devices in every corner of their home.
With the trial, Singtel will be the first operator in the world to utilise mesh technology with 'client steering' in homes. Mesh technology allows for a superior WiFi connection by virtue of its topology, where interconnected nodes serve to expand wireless coverage and enable constant wireless connectivity. The 'client steering' capability increases WiFi performance by switching devices to the optimum bandwidth and selecting the best transmission path within the home network.
The trial will run in selected homes from mid-April to the end of May 2015. The service is expected to be available for commercial use in July 2015.

Exec Team
The executive team of the McGill Choral Society consists of a group of McGill students, who work closely with our Musical Director, and strive to make your MCS experience the best possible! We are responsible for fundraising, book-keeping, and ensuring that our concerts and rehearsals are organized.
In addition to the Student Executive Team, we have a Senior Support Committee which consists of a group of older members of the choir. They offer their advice and experience to the Student Executive Team, and help us ensure that the choir runs smoothly.
|Domitille Buricatu
Hi, I'm Domitille, but commonly go by Domi! I'm in management at McGill, working towards a major in Information Systems and a concentration in Entrepreneurship. A couple fun facts: I'm both French and American, I started playing the violin at 11 years old, and I hated every minute of it until I started practising in high school (…that's when it actually started to sound good!). I also sung in a small church choir when I was little. Overall I'm a very awkward but curious and enthusiastic person, and I can't wait to help MCS have two amazing concerts this year!
|Apolline Bard
Hi everyone! I'm a Mathematics major from France. I joined the McGill Choral Society in my first semester at McGill, but I have no music background apart from some voice lessons in high school. I do listen to a lot of music, but not exactly the kind that we sing in this choir… My other hobbies include reading (sci-fi all the way!), cooking and hiking.
|Esha Kaul
Hello! I am a third year Neuroscience student and joining the McGill Choral Society has been one of the best decisions I have made so far. I don't really have a background in western classical music but I did take singing lessons in Indian classical music as a child and in the recent past some sitar lessons too. My other interests include but are not limited to Carnatic music, reading anything and everything, parallel bollywood cinema, social justice, hiking and yoga.
|Cem Biçer
Hello everyone! I'm a U1 student majoring in economics and history from Istanbul, Turkey. I have been in choir (3 years) and percussion (5 years) groups of my high school back in my hometown. Still, it is a pretty new experience to me and pretty exciting to become a member of a big group like this and participate in its executive team. Besides music, reading (mostly history, and fiction), playing and watching sports (especially soccer and basketball), and travelling to places that have small population are some of my other hobbies.
|Dorothy Down-Cameron
Hello! My name is Dorothy and I am a U3 Nursing student in the BNI program. Outside of nursing, my interests include theatre, playing guitar, and of course singing with McGill Choral Society! Looking forward to being part of the Executive Committee and helping produce two wonderful concerts this year!
|Amy Park
Hi everyone! I'm a second year Biochemistry major from Belleville, Ontario. I joined McGill Choral Society in my first year at McGill. Although I don't have much experience in choirs, I have played piano for over 13 years and have a Performers Associate Diploma and a Licentiate Diploma in voice. My other hobbies include playing guitar, playing hockey, alpine skiing, and yoga.

So you're a little older...? A little braver....? Perhaps even wiser...?
We will see, oh yes we will! Hah hah hah!
Mary was standing over the stove, watching the pot come to a boil, when she heard the kids chanting. "Trick or Treat, Smell my feet, give me something good to eat!" they repeated over and over again. She paused a moment to turn down the heat, then walked to the window and peered outside. There were six of them, all dressed up in their Halloween costumes. There was a Devil with his pitchfork, a princess, a bumblebee, an alien, a doctor with a stethoscope and a ballerina, coming up the street.
They stopped at the house two doors down and rang the bell. Once again, the familiar chant of Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat filled the air. The neighbors, a young couple whom Mary had never taken the time to get to know, laughed and threw handfuls of candy into their baskets and bags. All the children chanted "Thank You," then turned and rushed up the sidewalk to the house next door. The same thing happened but when it came time to come up Mary's walk and ring her bell, the children paused and hesitated, staring.
She readied her bag of candy in the hope that they would approach. The front porch light was on already, but she'd only had one trick-or-treater all night. Most people shied away from her house. She supposed people in small towns liked to gossip, and they talked about her.
I'm fine, she told herself as she stood at the door and watched the fearful children looking toward her home. I'm fine. Just fine and peachy. Come on up, I've got plenty of candy for everyone.
The children appeared to consider the invitation of the well-lit porch and its promise of treats but, after a moment, they turned and hurried up the street toward the next house with its porch light on.
Mary put the bag of candy down and watched them as they faded into the distance. No one wanted her candy.
Well, one had.
That had made her happy.
She could smell the heady aroma of the stew cooking on the stove now and she knew that, soon, supper would be ready.
She stood at the window a moment longer, telling herself that she needed to find a new place to live, somewhere where the people didn't know her. Somewhere where she could start over, where people wouldn't talk.
In the distance now, the children hustled toward the other houses, their bags held out in front of them or to their side, ready to get a treat.
"Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!" they chanted as they continued on their way.
Mary closed the door, turned off the porch light. She would have no more trick-or-treaters tonight.
She supposed one was enough.
She went to the kitchen. The kettle was boiling now and, as she watched, one little foot, then another, rolled to the surface.
"I am smelling your feet," Mary, the witch, said. "And they smell soooo good!"
Brian, a boy of ten, had been playing baseball at the school field with his friends until it was so dark they couldn't see the baseball coming at them.
"Hey, what time is it, anyway," he asked Tom, one of his friends.
Tom peered at his watch in the gloom. "It's 9:30."
"9:30!" exclaimed Brian. "I gotta get home… See you guys later."
Brian took off and ran toward his bike by the dugout. He had a curfew of9pmon school nights and he was way passed it now.
To make matters worse, his bike had a flat tire, so he had to walk. A ten minute bike ride would take over a half an hour now. It would be10pmby the time he got home. Hurrying down the street, he could see the trouble he'd be getting into and it would get worse the later it got. He would be grounded and there probably would be extra chores. He decided to take a short cut.
The best and quickest short cut would be to go thru the graveyard. He didn't want to go through the grave yard but he told himself that he was too old to be afraid of things like graves and tombstones. Still, he hesitated at the gate, but then he could see the streetlight right outside his house on the other side of the graveyard. He decided to brave it.
It was almost full dark and the graveyard was overgrown with branches and bushes and he couldn't run near as fast as he'd like to. Still, he went as fast as he could always keeping in sight the far off streetlight but it seemed as he twisted around grave markers and tombs he never got any closer. Night was closing in and the wind began to blow and in spite of being a brave boy of 10, he was getting a little scared.
Then he came around the side of a big stone and stopped dead in his tracks. Another boy leaned against a gravestone, tossing a ball up in the air.
"Man, am I glad to see you," said Brian. "It's so dark I can barely see. And to tell you the truth," Brian added, "I was getting a little scared walking through the graveyard by myself in the dark."
The other boy laughed at that, and three bats shot out of his mouth. "I know what you mean," he said. "I used to be afraid of the graveyard when I was alive, too."
The End.
Once upon a time, a long time ago, a man named John opened his eyes to darkness. What he remembered was that he had been very, very sick and had forgotten all else after that. Now, he still felt a bit ill, but it seemed as if he had turned the corner and would get better. Still, blackness surrounded him and when he lifted his hand, he touched something very close to his face, soft and padded. He tried to sit but before he could rise up even 6 inches, he hit his head. Then he tried to bend his knees but he couldn't, he was so confined and it slowly dawned on him that he had been thought dead and had been buried. He lay in a coffin.
He began shouting in panic. He clawed at the coffin's lid. He pushed up with all his might. But nothing worked. He was trapped and if he hadn't been dead before, he soon would be.
But after a few moments, he heard a noise and some scuffling. It sounded like something metal on the outside of the coffin. A shovel, perhaps. Had someone heard his shouts? That would be impossible unless they were already digging him up. They must be grave robbers.
Even so, he was glad for that. He knew medical students needed bodies to study and this was one way to get them. He sighed in relief. And won't they be surprised, he thought.
Sure enough, the coffin tilted upwards as the grave robbers dragged it out of the ground. And now, someone began to unscrew the lid.
He could barely wait. It took a long time to remove the lid but when they did, John reached up and said, "Thank you."
Three men stood over him. Two of them, young men, well dressed, screamed and fell back. "Oh my god," one said. "You're alive."
"Thanks to you," said John.
"Does this mean I won't get paid for my labor?" asked the third man in a surly voice, the workman, covered in dirt.
"No, of course not," said one of the students. "This man is still alive."
The workman frowned and took the shovel and hit John on top of the head. The last words John ever heard were the workman's. "There. That takes care of that," he said.
The End.
One windy night, Mary sat with her husband and mother in the living room when she heard what she thought was someone knocking on her door.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
It seemed to be coming from the front door but when she went to open it nobody was there.
"It must be the wind," said Mary's mother, Doris.
"Probably," said Mary, and sat back down on the couch where she was knitting a sweater.
The wind kept up and leaves and sticks blew against the window. She made hot chocolate for her husband and mother. Later they went to bed as the wind still howled.
But the next morning, Doris was dead.
Years went by, and Mary grew older. So did her husband, Stan. One night, a beautiful spring evening, Mary and Stan were sitting in the kitchen having a glass of ice tea when she heard someone knocking on the front door, three times.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
The sound brought back the memory of the night when her mother passed away. Mary hadn't thought of it in years. Still, even as she hurried to the front door to see who might be there, she thought, How foolish I am to be afraid of the wind tapping against the door.
When she opened the door this time, it was just like before except there was no wind, just the sounds of frogs croaking in the nearby pond. She shut the door quickly, a little bit afraid. Even so, she scolded herself. "Don't be silly. It's just some boy in the neighborhood playing a prank."
She walked back into the kitchen and Stan asked, "Who was at the door?"
"Oh. You heard it, too? I thought I was going a little crazy."
"Why?" he asked.
"Oh, never mind."
"So who was at the door?" her husband asked again.
"Nobody," she answered. "Just some boy playing a prank."
Later that night, she kissed her husband goodnight and went to sleep. But the next morning, she found her husband lying next to her in bed as cold as a stone.
More years went by and Mary grew to be a very, very old woman. One night, as she was sitting in the chair, drinking a cup of tea, three knocks came to her door.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
She didn't get up to see who knocked. She remembered. She knew nobody was out there. And she also knew that she was the only person in the house. The three knocks were meant for her.
She was old and tired, and she missed her husband. She missed her kids, too, but they both lived in far away cities. This is it, she realized. I'm going to pass away tonight. So she tidied up the house, put away the food, and let out the cat. Then she put on her best dress, a little makeup, and went to bed.
But when the next morning she woke, she was surprised to find that she wasn't dead. Silly old woman, she told herself. Then she went downstairs and found the body of a burglar sprawled on the dining room floor. Apparently, he had tripped and fallen and hit his head, and lay as dead as could be.
The End.
Once upon a winter, two sisters, Betty and Joanne, moved with their parents into an old, old house. The two girls slept in the same room but even with a nightlight Betty was always afraid. She insisted on keeping the window's locked, too, so monsters couldn't get in. Still, Betty kept waking up and seeing a shadowy figure standing by the window and would nudge her sister, Joanne, hoping that she would see it too, but that only made Joanne angry.
"I'm going to put a stop to this," said Joanne, finally, after Betty had woken her up a bunch of times. "I'm going to stay awake and when Betty tries to nudge me, I'm going to shout Booo."
That very night, Joanne tried to stay awake so she could teach Betty a lesson but she fell asleep. A little while later though, Betty woke her up, frightened and shivering.
"Looook," said Betty. "L-l-look by the window."
Joanne, though sleepy and annoyed, looked but all she saw were the shadows from the streetlight outside, and from the nightlight.
"Go back to sleep," Joanne told Betty. "There's nothing there."
"Can't you see it?" whispered Betty.
"No, I can't, and quit trying to scare me."
But one night soon after, Joanne woke, hearing a strange sound. Her sister lay fast asleep while Joanne listened. It was like an animal scratching at the wall, as if trying to dig its way into the room. "It's just a mouse, or something," thought Joanne.
Then a voice asked, "You are afraid?"
Joanne's eyes went wide and a chill ran up and down her back. But she bravely answered. "Why should I be afraid of a mouse?" she asked, shivering, the blankets pulled up to her chin.
"Because I am not a mouse," the voice said. Then the voice added, "It sure is stuffy in here. Why don't you open a window?"
Then Betty screamed. "Didja see it? Didja see it?" she cried.
Joanne reached over quickly to flick on the light. "See what? See what? Did you hear it?"
"Hear what?" asked Betty, terrified. "You mean it talks? I saw it. It was standing right by the window."
"Yes, it talks," Joanne said, nodding. "I heard some scratching. Then somebody spoke to me."
Betty looked as pale and frightened as Joanne had ever seen her. "What kind of scratching? What did it say?"
"It sounded like something was digging at the wall with claws. And it asked if I was afraid and when I said 'Why should I be afraid of a mouse?' it said it wasn't a mouse."
"You t-talked to it?" Betty asked, nearly hysterical.
"I. . . I guess so."
They slept with the light on the rest of the night. The next morning they told their mother, and she said, "If you two keep having scary dreams then no more monster movies for you."
"But Mom . . ."
"No buts."
As much as they were frightened, they both loved monster movies, but they knew what had happened wasn't a dream. "We'd better not say anything else to Mom, no matter what," said Joanne.
"I guess you're right," said Betty.
That night, after making sure the windows were locked tight, Betty tied a string from her wrist to Joanne's. "This way, if you hear something, you can pull on the string and wake me. And I can do the same."
Later, a noise woke Joanne. It was the scratching sound again, this time from the window, like long pointed nails on glass. She gave the string one yank, then another, then another but it didn't wake her sister up at all.
Then a voice said, "I'd be afraid if I were you."
"Why?" Joanne asked, bravely, at least on the outside. "Voices can't hurt. Why should I be afraid of a voice?"
"Because I am more than just a voice," said the voice. "Boy, it's sure stuffy in here," it added. "You really ought to open the window."
Then Betty screamed. "There! There! Right by your bed! It's him! It's him!"
Joanne turned on the light but no one was there.
"Oh my, oh my, didja see him? Didja see him?" Betty asked.
"No, did you hear him?" Joanne asked.
"He talked to me again," Joanne said.
"Why didn't you pull on the string?" Betty asked.
"I did. And hard, too."
The string, they discovered had been neatly cut right in the middle.
Again, they spent the rest of the night with the light on though they didn't get much sleep. Their mother seemed cross the next morning but only because they both were like slugs getting ready for school, and neither of them said a word to her about the night before.
This time, when they went to bed, after their parents tucked them in, Betty asked, "Can I sleep in your bed with you?"
"Sure," said Joanne. The bed wasn't that big but she felt safer with her sister close beside.
"This way," added Betty, "If we see or hear something, we'll be right next to each other."
They settled in for the night, again making sure the windows were locked securely. Betty and Joanne lay awake for a long time but eventually they fell asleep. Then something woke them both up.
"Hey, somebody pinched my nose," said Joanne.
"Mine, too," said Betty.
"Mine, too," said the voice then laughed. "From the stuffy air. How can you sleep when it's so so stuffy?"
The girls sat upright in bed and held each other tight.
"Are you afraid now?" the voice said.
"Yes," said Betty.
"No," said Joanne. "My nose hurts."
"I'd open the window if I were you," said the voice. "The fresh air will help your nose."
"All right," said Joanne.
"No, don't," screamed Betty.
Too late, Joanne had already jumped out of bed and was shoving up the sash. Then they both heard a scampering noise, and a deep black shadow rushed past Joanne and jumped out the window.
"Free at last," the voice said, and they never were bothered by noises or shadows again.
The End.
There was a boy named Johnny who took the shortcut like he usually did through an empty field by an old abandoned farmhouse. Behind the farmhouse sat a small family graveyard. Jimmy liked to go into the little graveyard because it had a big apple tree which gave nice shade, especially on hot days, and sometimes, in the fall, bright red apples.
On this day, though, he just walked past the graveyard because a young woman stood at one of the graves. She wore a black shawl that covered her head and as he watched she knelt in front of a small grave marker, crying and talking to someone. He couldn't hear what she said but it surprised Johnny because he never saw anybody behind the old house. Then he gasped because when he looked again, she had completely disappeared.
Johnny searched left and right but couldn't see the woman. He would have noticed her run away because the flat field left no place for her to hide, except behind the apple tree. Curious, Johnny walked over to the tree but discovered nothing. The grass hadn't been trampled at all. No one had stood or walked in that graveyard for a long time. Johnny went to the small grave where she had been kneeling and pushed away the tall grass. It said Baby Joseph 1880 – 1880. Four months old.
The End

Being big is pertinent again in struggling with. During the last 12 months, both boxing and MMA have observed somewhat of your rebirth in the heavyweight divisions with Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder and Stipe Miocic increasing through the rates as the best in the globe. And with top champions brings about among the better opponents, and on Sunday evening in Boston, Miocic would be the first to answer a tough test.
The existing UFC heavyweight champ is set to defend myself against possibly the scariest puncher in MMA when he squares off against Francis Ngannou in the key event at TD Garden. Ngannou (11-1, 7 KOs) has gained all five of his battles since joining the business and all arriving via KO/TKO with nothing getting at night second circular. His brutal knockout of top contender Alistair Overeem at UFC 218 may have been the most vicious knockout of the entire year.
If Miocic can enter an early tempo along with his jab, walk Ngannou to the exterior and easily fit into a takedown occasionally, the strength of Ngannou is something to keep an eye on. Yes, he strikes like a vehicle, if the acceleration tapers off, he'll at least be considered a controllable foe on your feet.
UFC 220 Live Stream Online
Miocic has a lot more experience under these situations. He's vanished five rounds with dos Santos and has headlined six UFC situations. He's knocked out Fabricio Werdum in a Brazilian sports stadium. At this time, it's affordable to assume that experience, plus his style, offers him an advantage late.
But Miocic's pressure leaves him susceptible. He's used his show of destruction and been fallen in the first circular before. One problem may cost him everything here.
But Miocic remains his peaceful and collected do it yourself before his latest obstacle. Miocic (17-2, 13 KOs) is also on the five-fight knockout ability and sits just one single win short to be the longest reigning heavyweight champ in company background.
"I'm very much accustomed to it right now," Miocic said during his open up workout on Wed. "I really like being the underdog because I shut everyone up. That's what this sport's about — it's like 'The Jerry Springer Show' … I'm walking out 'and still.' No-one (else) is likely to be champ until I leave.
"I'll venture out there and do my job. That's what I really do every time. I understand he's a large, tough person, and he visits hard, but so do I. I load up just a little punch. I would be smaller than him, but it's all good."
Never to be outdone, but light heavyweight champ Daniel Cormier is defined to guard the subject he was awarded back again after Jon Jones failed a medication test after their attack last summer season. He encounters one of the speediest rising personalities in the business in Volkan Oezdemir.
It's a packed card to state minimal, so let's browse the full credit card, including prelims, before UFC 220 with the latest chances from Bovada.
With a major card on faucet, our experts had taken a split at picking each of the key card fights. Listed below are your pick creators: Brian Campbell (battle sports copy writer), Matthew Coca (company), Michael Mormile (developer), Jack port Jorgensen (editor) and Brandon Good (editor).
Campbell on why Ngannou will get: There are many reasons never to surrender to the intoxication that is Francis Ngannou's hoopla. The uncooked slugger made his UFC debut just 2 yrs in the past and has yet to battle at night second circular. He in addition has yet to totally prove he's comfortable on the floor or in virtually any situation it doesn't entail him turning out the equipment and lighting of his competitors. Let's remember that Stipe Miocic is battle-tested and dangerously powerful in his own right. But this continues to be heavyweight mixed fighting techinques, where in fact the unproven hot side can stay hot if he will keep getting that fight-altering blow. Until someone shows they can disarm the hulking Ngannou or test his cardio to levels not yet seen, the media hype is justified. Ngannou is a next-level kind of scary individual who may have been installed as the wagering favorite for grounds.
Mormile on why Miocic will get: From the five-round battle for grounds, and Ngannou hasn't absent past two rounds in his pro MMA profession. I believe Miocic can stay out of Ngannou's reach, and move him into profound water. The next note that received me was Ngannou's wins in his previous three are his perhaps most obviously, but invest the a deeper look, all three fighters blended for a 3-6 record in their previous three fights. I believe it could be too way too soon for the knockout designer.
Coca on why Cormier will earn: Regardless of how you consider it, the only person who can defeat DC is Jon Jones. It's that easy. If not for Jones, Cormier may likely be the best light heavyweight fighter in MMA record. Both fighters who've given DC the largest trouble inside the Octagon were "Bones" and Alexander Gustafsson for their height. Oezdemir does not have that choosing him. Search for DC to return to count on his wrestling and obtain the fight to the bottom. If he gets Oezdemir down, the fight's over.
Smart on why Oezdemir will gain: Since his stunning stoppage of Misha Cirkunov, I have already been on the Oezdemir teach. Whenever the guy can get within selection of his competitors, they out of the blue collapse from his powerful punches. It really is almost a tale out of fiction, however the power he presently possesses is nearly unusual in the activity. Expect Oezdemir to place the pressure on Cormier when he can to complete this deal with off before it enters the later rounds where DC is well known for milling out victories on the floor.

Week 3 of 7 in our count to Pentecost, and I suppose that I should define what I mean when I talk about the Holy Spirit before I go any farther in this study. Since I don't believe the doctrine of the Trinity, which is part of so many Christian belief systems, I feel I need to explain my beliefs to avoid confusion the deeper we go into studying the Holy Spirit.
I grew up in a church that teaches that the Holy Spirit is the power of God and the part of Him that communicates with our spirits rather than a third person in a Trinity. The Godhead consists of two Beings – God the Father and The Word who became Jesus Christ. As I've studied the topic for myself, this has become my belief as well.
One of the core principles of the doctrine of the Trinity is that it cannot be understood. One scholar says, "the Trinity is still largely incomprehensible to the mind of man. Perhaps the chief reason for this is that the Trinity is a-logical, or beyond logic." Proponents of the Trinity get around this problem by saying we shouldn't try to fully understand God anyway because He is so far above us. This sounds good at first — after all the Lord's judgements are "unsearchable" and "His ways past finding out" (Rom. 11:33). But I find it hard think that the God who wants a close personal relationship with each of His people would make the most basic fact of His nature so hard for us to grasp.
And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. (John 17:3)
In John 17 Jesus defines eternal life as a relationship between a human being, God the Father, and Jesus Christ. It seems simple, and indeed it is supposed to. (Incidentally, if the Holy Spirit is a third person, why isn't He mentioned here?) Our relationship with God and His Son are central to our faith, and as such this concept must be easy enough for even a child to understand. That's not to say there is not depth to Christianity, but Christianity is intended to be a religion that makes sense and is accessible for everyone.
But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. (2 Cor. 11:3)
Simply the exclusion of the Holy Spirit from so many verses that talk about the Godhead should be sufficient reason to pause and re-examine its as a doctrine. Take the example of the apostles' opening remarks in all their letters, which focus on the Father and the Son and only once include mention of the Spirit: Romans 1:1; 1 Corinthians 1:1; 2 Corinthians 1:1-2; Galatians 1:1; Ephesians 1:1-2; Philippians 1:1-2; Colossians 1:1-2; 1 Thessalonians 1:1; 2 Thessalonians 1:1-2; 1 Timothy 1:1-2; 2 Timothy 1:1-2; Titus 1:1; Philemon 1:1-3; Hebrews 1:1-4; James 1:1; 1 Peter 1:1-2 (this verse is the exception. It mentions "sanctification of the Spirit"); 2 Peter 1:1-2; 1 John 1:1-3; 2 John 1:3; Jude 1:1-2.
Power of God
So if the Bible doesn't talk about the Holy Spirit as a distinct person in the triune one God, how is the Holy Spirit described? Firstly, it is called the power of God.
But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." (Acts 1:8)
The gospels speak of Jesus "being filled with the Holy Spirit" and moving forward with His ministry "in the power of the Spirit" (Luke 4:1, 14). Similarly, Paul said he preached the gospel of Christ "in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God" (Rom. 15:19). Power is also given to each member of the body through the Spirit:
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all (1 Cor. 12:7)
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (2 Tim. 1:7)
This verse in 2 Timothy provides a perfect transition into a second aspect of the Spirit.
Essence of God
In 1 Thessalonians 5:23, it mentions that people have a spirit (G4151 pneuma — here speaking of "the vital spirit or life, the principle of life residing in man"), a soul (G5590 psuche — "the immaterial part of man held in common with animals"), and a body (G4983 soma — corporeal body). It is that spiritual part of man which makes it possible to communicate with the corresponding Spirit of God.
But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him." But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. (1 Cor. 2:9-12)
1 Corinthians 2 is key to understanding how God communicates with and works a change inside us. It describes God using the Holy Spirit to teach us and to give us His mind so that we can begin to understand His mysteries. His Spirit works with and alters our spirits so that we can have a relationship with Him.
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. (Rom. 8:9-11)
This idea of God enlightening our spirits with His Spirit is not isolated to the New Testament. Job 32:8 says, "But there is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding." Interestingly, Strong's dictionary says Hebrew word neshamah (H5367), translated "breath" in this version can also mean "spirit." Being made in God's image, man has a spirit just like God has a Spirit as well as being a Spirit.
Translations and History Stuff
Part of the confusion regarding whether or not the Holy Spirit is a distinct personage come from a few key translation errors. One is in 1 John, where a phrase was added to the original manuscripts. For more about that, see this article.
For there are three that bear witness [in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness] on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one. (1 John 5:7-8, brackets added)
Another verse that apparently supports the idea of the Trinity is Matthew 28:19, which reads, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." There is some secondary-source evidence that the phrase was added (Eusebius quotes the scripture without it pre-council of Nicea). However, his contemporaries quote the verse with the Father, Son, Spirit phrase and there are no primary sources without it, so that's not definitive proof. However, every baptism recorded in Acts is done "in the name of Jesus Christ," not "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."
Let's switch-gears now and talk about word genders. Like several modern languages, nouns and pronouns in Greek have genders — masculine, feminine, or neuter. The word for Spirit is pneuma (G4151). It is singular and gender neutral, and so the pronouns used to refer to it are gender-neutral as well. The Spirit is an "it" rather than a "he." However, this becomes a bit more complicated in John 14 through 16 where the Holy Spirit is referred to as "comforter."
The word "comforter" is from parakletos (G3875), which is gender masculine. Since the pronoun gender must agree with the gender of its noun, reading the Greek text will show you masculine pronouns used to refer to the Holy Spirit. However, since parakletos is being used of the Spirit — which is the gender neutral pneuma — it is still correct to translate the masculine pronouns into the English as "it" rather than "he."
To use a modern example, the French word for book is livre, which is a masculine noun. So in the sentence, "J'ai acheté un livre pour que je puisse le lire," the pronoun referring to book is masculine. However, we don't translate it into English as "I bought a book so I could read him."
There is also a historical basis for recognizing that the Trinity was an idea developed after the Biblical texts were canonized rather than an established teaching of the early church. It's too lengthy a topic for this post, but here's a good jumping-off point if you're curious.
I hope this post has been helpful in some way. Even if you don't agree with me about this doctrine, at least now you'll know where I'm coming from when I write about the Holy Spirit.

|Simpson's Apple Lampoon
|Monday, 01 December 2008 11:38
Though The Simpsons has a history of satirizing tech culture, and even Apple specifically, last night's episode felt like it was making up for a bit of lost time. It's not just iPods and iMacs getting reprefixed and animated: it's Apple Stores, the G4 Cube, past and present fanboys, vintage advertising and even Steve Jobs himself. Even if Groening and co. aren't exactly breaking new ground here (though they seem to reserve some special venom for Mr. Jobs), there are more than a few great lines buried in the sketch.
