NEW!! The KRESCENT program has moved to an on-line application system. All forms, guidelines and procedures can be found on the proposalCENTRAL website. Please click here to reach proposalCENTRAL. To apply through this site, you will have to set up a profile, and then search for "KRESCENT" or "Kidney" and fill out the KRESCENT applications.
Despite many scientific successes in kidney research over the last 45 years, Canadians are facing a growing epidemic of kidney disease due, in large part, to our aging population and the increasing number of people with diabetes, a leading cause of kidney disease. Unfortunately, the dramatic rise in kidney disease has been accompanied by a relative decline in the number of well-trained kidney research scientists at academic centers in Canada. This is attributed to several factors, including the demands on clinician scientists to dedicate more time to the clinical care of patients. Another factor is limitations in opportunities for salary support of those dedicated to research in general including in the field of kidney disease.
In response to the urgent need to better support the outstanding individuals who represent the future of kidney research in Canada, The Kidney Foundation of Canada, the Canadian Society of Nephrology, the CIHR Institutes of Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes (CIHR – INMD) and Circulatory and Respiratory Health (CIHR – ICRH) created an innovative new program to enrich the training and mentorship of new investigators. The Kidney Research Scientist Core Education and National Training program (KRESCENT) represents a unique partnership destined to enhance research capacity by creating conditions that will foster the growth and development of Canada's brightest research minds.
The objectives of the KRESCENT program are:
Application to the KRESCENT program is open to applicants, from all disciplines relevant to kidney disease (i.e. biomedical, clinical, health services and population health disciplines) in the following categories:
(For detailed eligibility criteria please see the eligibility section for the various programs)top
Applicants must be Canadian citizens or permanent resident at the time of submission of their application.
For New Investigator Awards, applicants must apply through a university department or affiliated institution offering the faculty appointment.For Post-Doctoral Fellowship applicants must apply through a university department or affiliated institution that has been accepted as suitable for research training by the KRESCENT program. Institutions eligible to host a KRESCENT Fellow include Canadian and foreign universities, affiliated research hospitals, and colleges with a strong research mandate and capacity.
For Allied Health Doctoral Award eligibility criteria please consult the KFOC web site (www.kidney.ca)
The granting of an award is deemed to establish neither an employer-employee relationship nor a partnership between the grantor and grantee.
The KRESCENT program offers a competitive salary stipend (see Guidelines of individual awards for specific stipend levels).
Awardees will be required to participate and complete a core kidney research curriculum. For detailed information on the curriculum see KRESCENT Curriculum document.
The KRESCENT program will not fund more than two Fellowships per supervisor at one time.top
The KRESCENT program funds only personnel and infrastructure support awards. No funding is provided for indirect costs of research (e.g. library, heat and light, office furniture, overhead, administrative charges and fees).
Alberta InnovatesThe KRESCENT program has recently partnershiped with Alberta Innovates (AI) to fund a KRESCENT Post-Doctoral or Allied Health Doctoral Fellowship. The purpose of the partnership is to increase the current funding available for excellent research training to build capacity in the kidney research field in Alberta. In order to be eligible for this award, the applicant must apply to and be successful in both the KRESCENT program and the Alberta Innovates general competition. The specific eligibility requirements for the KRESCENT and Alberta Innovates competitions can be found on their respective websites. (www.krescent.ca and www.aihealthsolutions.ca).
The award amounts are listed below:
Successful applicants to the program must acknowledge the combined funding support (Alberta Innovates and KRESCENT) in all publications and presentations for the duration of the program.
About Alberta Innovates:Alberta Innovates is the province's leading organization tasked with delivering on the research and innovation priorities of the Government of Alberta. Alberta Innovates' role is to accelerate innovation in the province's agriculture, energy, environment, forest and health sectors. In the health sector, Alberta Innovates provides leadership for Alberta's health research and innovation enterprise by directing, coordinating, reviewing, funding and supporting health research and innovation. Working with its many partners in the health system, Alberta Innovates ensures that health research achieves innovation in care, policy and practice, and that the needs of patients and clinicians influence research.
Can-SOLVE CKD Training programCan-SOLVE CKD is a pan-Canadian patient-oriented kidney research network. In partnership with patients, researchers, health care providers and policy-makers, Can-SOLVE is working to transform treatment and care for Canadians living with or at risk for chronic kidney disease. Can-SOLVE CKD is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and over 30 partners, including the Kidney Foundation of Canada, the Canadian Society of Nephrology, provincial kidney care agencies, universities, industry, and private donors.
Research projects that involve a significant component related to patient engagement and participation are eligible for inclusion in the Can-SOLVE training program. This program entails full participation in the KRESCENT curriculum, plus an additional Can-SOLVE CKD training component which includes completion of CIHR training modules and patient engagement exercises (approximately an additional 3.5 days per year. Expenses associated with participation/completion in these exercises will be covered by Can-SOLVE CKD.)
The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) defines patient oriented research (POR) as "Patient-oriented research is about putting patients first. Research is informed by patients and focuses on what is important to patients. It produces information for decision makers and health care providers that will improve health care practices, therapies and policies. It ensures that new and innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are applied where they are needed."
In order to be eligible for the Can-SOLVE KRESCENT award, the patient engagement aspect must be well developed in your application (at the time of application). However, your research project does not have to be part of the Can-SOLVE CKD Network – any project with a significant focus in POR is eligible. Please note that applying to be a Can-SOLVE trainee will not in any way affect the peer review of your application.
Successful applicants will be notified by an official letter before May 31 and the results will be posted on the Internet.
Awardees may not change supervisors, projects or institutions without the written permission of the Chair of the Program Steering Committee. The institution to which the awardee is moving will be required to supply the same supporting documentation as was required in the original application.
Institutions receiving funds must have appropriate policies in place for investigating allegations of misconduct as outlined in "Integrity in Research and Scholarship: A Tri-Council Policy Statement" as published by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). Any questions concerning scientific integrity or scholarly conduct that arise during the course of the evaluation of an application will be referred back to the parent institution for that body to proceed with an enquiry. The KRESCENT program is to be informed of the outcome of such investigations.
The KRESCENT program must be informed of any commercial application arising from KRESCENT program-supported activity.
The KRESCENT program does not retain or claim any ownership of, or exploitation rights to, intellectual property developed under KRESCENT program funding. These are owned by the institution and/or the inventor.
Should the inventor decide to pursue commercialization of any results of the research funded by the KRESCENT program, he or she must disclose to their institution any potential intellectual property arising from the research; he or she and the institution must make every effort to obtain the greatest possible benefit to Canada from the resulting commercial activity.
The above requirement for disclosure is not intended to supersede any policy on disclosure that the institution might already have in place.
All personal information collected by the KRESCENT program about applicants is used to review applications, to administer and monitor awards, to compile statistics and to promote and support kidney research in Canada. Consistent with these purposes, applicants should also expect that information collected by the KRESCENT program may be used in the following ways:
The KRESCENT program also collects data on the language capability of individuals for administrative and statistical purposes. The data are not used in the peer adjudication process.
Information submitted to the KRESCENT program is subject to the "Tri-Council Policy: Integrity in Research and Scholarships" and may be used and disclosed consistent with that policy.top
Awardees are expected to acknowledge the KRESCENT program's financial support in a standardized fashion: in publications arising from the supported research, in conference or congress material, and on equipment and facilities purchased and/or developed with the Program's funds.
The KRESCENT program expects that all those who receive support will accept invitations from The Kidney Foundation of Canada and other professional and scholarly associations (e.g. CANNT, CANSW, AND) to present their research at meetings or conferences.
KRESCENT awardees are expected to attend the annual scientific meeting of the Canadian Society of Nephrology and submit abstracts to this meeting.
The KRESCENT program advises its peer review committee that the quality of a publication's content is the determining factor in their assessment of productivity and performance. The committee is asked NOT to rely on the number of publications nor, in the case of journals, to use lists of "prestigious" or "unacceptable" journals.
The KRESCENT program funds researchers in many health related areas and is aware that forms of research publications vary among disciplines. Some disciplines publish almost exclusively in peer-reviewed books, while others favour refereed journals. There is much variation between and within disciplines. The Program advises its peer review committee to evaluate according to the standards of the discipline.top
Publications are often prepared jointly with students, (Post-) Doctoral fellows, other researchers, etc. Applicants should describe their intellectual contribution to collaborative work or joint publications in their application, where indicated.
The KRESCENT program recognizes that research productivity may vary as result of personal circumstances, or during periods of pregnancy or early childcare, whether or not formal leave of absence is taken. Administrative leave, disability, elder care, and other situations may also result in publication delays.
Applicants should clearly and fully describe in their application any circumstances that have or will affect the research productivity or dissemination of research results. The KRESCENT program advises its peer review committee to be sensitive to the impact of these circumstances on the level of productivity, while ensuring that the quality of the research remains competitive. Each case is reviewed on its own merits.

text: Laurie Kempf Spencer ☆ Fifth Year ☆ ✩ Kirupachi 16 year old Halfblood Human ☆ She/Her Posted July 11 Laurie had honestly been surprised that nobody had come up with such an idea in the time she had spent on campus at that point. Did Tallygarunga students have no sense of humor? Despite the sheer amount of freedom the students were allowed in comparison to Durmstrang, they managed to somehow seem more strict than them at times. With so many people bending themselves backwards over school points and high grades, the newly minted Spencer figured it was high time -- in a literal sense -- that she'd do something about it and instilled some fun, and potential horror, in the local denizens. The Quidditch field would be ideal to put her plan to action. She had stolen a 'Dolores' mannequin from the Wandless Magic's teacher's room with disappointing ease (Why the hell did the Professor call it that? Was it some reference?), having used the old party trick of transmogrifying it into something smaller so to leave the premises free of suspicion. Arriving at the empty pitch, as students rarely trained when the break rolled around due to a distinct lack of bodies to fill the positions, the brunette walked all the way to the center of it and placed the doll there, upright, and took a few steps back. Looking around, she could see that there was enough space in all directions for her to conclude the final part of her plan without too much structural damage past destroying the grass under her feet. But, before she could bring about the true magnitude of her prank, she had to decorate the vessel for her wicked ways. But what should she do? "Hm... You need more color." The Spencer mused out loud. With a flick of her wand, she cast a spell that turned the entire dummy into an eye-catching golden color, rather than just tan. "Too many clothes." Another wand movement and the clothing covering the model came flying off, carelessly left discarded on the ground. Taking the tip of her wand to her chin, she mused what sort of makeover she should apply to what would eventually become her puppet, thinking it looked far too human for her tastes. Maybe she should make it look more like a monster? Or a robot? If only Max had been there to brainstorm with ideas and not ran off with Senan, she thought.

The primary on our list of deep sea creatures is the fangtooth fish. This fish is some of the evil trying ocean predators. It lives within the deep ocean and catches its prey by luring them in with glowing mild organs known as photophores. In such a dark abyss, fish are interested in the light delay by the organ and once they're close enough the fangtooth fish catches them in his quite a few large teeth. He seems to be like an underwater vampire. One other carnivorous sea animal is the deep-sea lizardfish. These attention-grabbing fish look nearly like a brief snake in water. Their mouths are lined with harpoon-tipped teeth that grasp their prey and don't let go, similar to a fish hook. These teeth are hinged in order that they can flattened down when prey is going in and stand up when resisting. They don't even must actively swallow; the struggling prey just ratchets itself inside.If you enjoyed this short article and you would such as to obtain additional facts relating to Teddy bear Alpaca ranch kindly go to our web-page.

Jiwwan is an Emirati brand that creates beautiful modern Jalabiyas for the modern Arab woman.
Here is what Jiwwan's designer Iman Bin Hmeid had to share with us:
I started since 2 years where before that I was always sketching my own jalabiyas or redesigning any that I buy. I found myself at fashion design field where I can transform a specific form of art to be used in a jalabya and to combine colors. I get my inspiration from art work or nature sometimes, as well as, newly designed fabric to be used in my sketches.
My first initiative started from Zayed University Carnival which is an annual event to develop entrepreneurship among students. I started my first collection there where I found very good feedback from everyone and all the support from my family.
Since then I started implementing both my designing talent with my marketing and communication knowledge and create a base for my business.
I used a combination of velvets and silks with other minor elements like tulle or organza, and by looking at the colors, I combined some bright shades with dark shades to create a balance.
Women should always try to find a piece that shows her attractiveness and hide her flaws if there were any, choosing colors that matches her personality and making her feel energized and attractive.
My strategy is always based on both because I believe that a combination of both will always be timeless and doesn't specify who will wear the jalabya.
Yes I received requests lately to do so and hopefully my designs met my clients' expectations.

Saving changes!
Debbie is incredible and will leave you feeling 100% blissed out.
Amazing massage, as always! Picked up 3 gift certificates for Holiday gifts too!
I was very happy to get in, even though I was fairly last-minute. Mary was friendly, thorough and gave a great massage.
My sister and I had treatments in early November 2018. We were in the area for girl's days out. Natural Elements was able to accommodate us quickly for appointments and we felt welcomed and at home while there. This on top of wonderful, thorough massages!
Beth did a fantastic job. Normally I don't write reviews but this was one of the best massage experiences I have ever had. Definitely earned my repeat business from now on.
I was in Whitefish for New Years and decided to treat myself to a hot stone massage and facial by Deborah and it was the best decision I made on that trip! I book massages for myself all the time and have been for years and I must say, this was one of the best Ive experienced. She knows what the body needs and what areas need attention and spends the time to properly cater to them. So happy I found Deborah and happy I brought in the new year feeling physically incredible. Thanks again!
If you are looking for a place that is great at massages and a relaxing experience and is locally in Whitefish, Natural Elements is a great find!!! Thank you Katie and Debbie for a wounderful relaxing Daughter and Mother afternoon! You both are amazing at what you do!!! Your new location is warm and welcoming and one of the best massage experience I've had in a long time. You both are very gifted and I am very excited to have found you.
My daughter and I needed a massage after several very active days at Glacier National Park. Based on the online reviews we came to Natural Elements. We both felt that we had the best massages ever! How fortunate to those living nearby to have such a wonderful establishment so close to you!!!
Natural Elements new location in Mountain Mall overlooking the pond is such a welcomed event... what a get away. Both ladies qualify as The Best! Thanks Gals for a relax, reshape & renewed step back out into the world.
Want to share again after trying the Clay Treatment with Deborah- having never done even a facial before, this body cleanse (retreat! with private hot shower included) was refreshing & left a youthful glow to my skin as well as spirit! Thanks Deb!
Debbie - Meeting you and the massage was the highlight of my 3000 mile trip and one of my best memories in years. And on top of that your massage was a gift from heaven. I had lost 52lbs and wanted so bad to lose the last 20 but I kept struggling with past injuries and couldn't work out consistently. I've seen muscle specialists, chiropractors, acupuncture, physical therapy -- but you brought my body back to life. After my massage I was in shock with how good I felt and how each day I felt so good it wasn't just short term. For the first time in a very long time I can run three days a week and do my weight lifting. Out of all the doctors I've seen for years you brought miraculous healing to so many things I was struggling with: pulled quad muscles on both sides, arthritis in my shoulder, bad hip injury from a winter fall on solid ice/concrete. I still have to stretch good and have a twinge here and there; but for the first time in over a year not a single injury stops me. I feel like you gave me whole new body and fresh start over - and that was only one appointment! No matter where I end up I will always come back to you and nobody else to work on me. You are a truly gifted wonderful person.
I looked for ten years after our family massage therapist moved to AZ... so I can not say how special it is to find Debbie & recommend her to all! She is well qualified and a natural who doesn't fizzle out and works on you like you are the only masterpiece of art ever! Thanks

Sometimes it's not straight forward to make healthy decisions. Usually, we're able to conquer our reluctance by merely reminding ourselves, "this is good for me." But what if some of the things you've been doing for your health are damaging your hearing? It happens more often than you would believe.
Daily Health Procedures
You care about the way you look to people when out and about. Combing your hair, brushing your teeth, and sometimes cleaning your ears is, for most, a normal practice.
Over time an aggravating trickle of a small amount of earwax can build up. In spite of earwax having numerous essential purposes in your ear, it does have to be taken out from time to time. The means you use to clear away earwax determines the potential damage.
If you are using cotton swabs you should stop as these are not the proper tool for the job. Removing your earwax with a cotton swab can cause permanent injury to your ears and hearing. The better choice would be to contact a hearing expert for help. It's easy and safe for them to get rid of the earwax for you.
Your Exercise Habits
The best way to look healthy and feel good is to stay in shape. The benefits of exercising are that it gets your blood flowing, clears your mind, helps you lose weight, and relaxes your muscles. The problem is people don't always conduct their workouts correctly.
High impact workouts that push your cardio endurance are becoming more popular. While that might help you to build your muscle, if you're engaging in these kinds of exercises you might be straining your body and your ears. You might not even notice it at first, but that stress can cause pressure to build up in your ears. Resulting in balance and hearing troubles.
That doesn't mean that you should quit working out. Improper workout methods can lead to trouble. Don't hold your breath and avoid stressing when you're at the gym. Discontinue when you have come to your limit.
Your Prospering Career
Stress goes with a successful career. While everyone can agree that working hard and achieving professional accomplishment is a great thing, high strain levels can impact your health.
Stress has been known to cause weight gain, impaired thinking, and muscle pain, but did you know it can also cause hearing loss? Stress itself isn't the issue; it's that stress causes poor blood circulation. Poor circulation means that very important parts of your body, like the delicate hairs in your ears, don't get the supply of blood and oxygen they need. These hairs don't grow back. When they're dead, they're gone. Why are these little hairs important? Your brain uses them to hear. In other words, without having those hairs, you can not hear.
But don't believe your job has to cost you your hearing. Simple tactics for decreasing strain can be used to keep the blood flowing. It is necessary to take time away from a tense situation. If you have time, read or watch something humorous. Stress can be naturally relieved with humor.
Enjoying the Arts
It's certainly healthy for your mind to be exposed to the arts regardless of what form they come in! But different forms of art have different levels of impact on hearing.
We often underestimate how loud going to the movies or attending a concert can be. While enjoying our favorite art form we we usually don't worry about whether it is damaging our hearing. Unfortunately it might be.
The solution to this one is simple. Make certain you protect your ears if you are planning on attending a loud event. While you wouldn't wear large earmuffs at an opera, you could use small discreet in-ear noise reduction devices instead.
Being prepared and informed is always the best defense. If you're worried, you may have already experienced hearing loss from one of these activities, schedule a hearing test with a specialist. Thats the only reliable way of knowing for sure.

Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost, September 24, 2017, Lectionary A, Proper 20
The Rev. Dr. C. Clark Hubbard + Rector Scripture: Matthew 20:1-16
"Stretch out your hand [Oh, Lord] to heal and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus." Acts 4:30
How does it work?
Let us pray. Heavenly, gracious Father, send now the Holy Spirit to open our hearts to receive the wonderful grace you have afforded us through the cross, so that we might become likewise gracious through Jesus Christ our Lord who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit one God for ever and ever. Amen.
ROCHESTER — Gail Evans and Marta Ramos have one thing in common: They have each cleaned offices for one of the most innovative, profitable and all-around successful companies in the United States. For Ms. Evans, that meant being a janitor in Building 326 at Eastman Kodak's campus in Rochester in the early 1980s. For Ms. Ramos, that means cleaning at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., in the present day.
In the 35 years between their jobs as janitors, corporations across America have flocked to a new management theory: Focus on core competence and outsource the rest. The approach has made companies more nimble and more productive, and delivered huge profits for shareholders. It has also fueled inequality and helps explain why many working-class Americans are struggling even in an ostensibly healthy economy.
The $16.60 per hour Ms. Ramos earns as a janitor at Apple works out to about the same in inflation-adjusted dollars as what Ms. Evans earned 35 years ago. That's where the similarities end. Ms. Evans was a full-time employee of Kodak. She received more than four weeks of paid vacation per year, reimbursement of some tuition costs to go to college part time, and a bonus payment every March. When the facility she cleaned was shut down, the company found another job for her: cutting film.
Ms. Ramos is an employee of a contractor that Apple uses to keep its facilities clean. She hasn't taken a vacation in years, because she can't afford the lost wages. Going back to school is similarly out of reach. There are certainly no bonuses, nor even a remote possibility of being transferred to some other role at Apple.
Yet the biggest difference between their two experiences is in the opportunities they created. A manager learned that Ms. Evans was taking computer classes while she was working as a janitor and asked her to teach some other employees how to use spreadsheet software to track inventory. When she eventually finished her college degree in 1987, she was promoted to a professional-track job in information technology.
Less than a decade later, Ms. Evans was chief technology officer of the whole company, and she has had a long career since as a senior executive at other top companies. Ms. Ramos sees the only advancement possibility as becoming a team leader keeping tabs on a few other janitors, which pays an extra 50 cents an hour. They both spent a lot of time cleaning floors. The difference is, for Ms. Ramos, that work is also a ceiling.
So much for working your way up from the mailroom: That sort of opportunity for professional growth has dwindled over the past few decades, as many entry level jobs now call for skills and experience that go beyond having a good attitude, a desire to work hard, and the ability to push a broom. The New York Times finds that workers in low-level jobs are increasingly stuck in no-growth roles, as businesses hire contracting agencies for the kind of support positions, like janitorial work, that they previously would have filled themselves. This shift exacerbates the opportunity gap and helps explain why many working-class Americans are struggling even in an ostensibly healthy economy" (NYT).
Perhaps one of the most basic questions to human existence is "How does it work?" The question applies to just about anything we can name, especially in this age of technology. Granted, we may not want to know how a computer works or the GPS in our automobiles. We do want to know how the refrigerator, the TV, the AC, or the car works; in other words, how do you turn them on.
The question of how something works may be the compelling and guiding question behind scientific endeavor, especially in respect to medical research. How does it work that the cell growth goes wild, resulting in cancer? How does it work that the cardiovascular system self-destructs, causing a heart attack or stroke? How does it work that a man and a woman can continue to love each other and avoid divorce? How can I get ahead in life? How does it work? How it worked 35 years ago may not be how it works today, as the stories of Ms. Evans and Ms. Ramos illustrates. In many ways neither our society nor the world works the way it used to—from the way we communicate, raise our children, prepare our food, or medicine.
In this morning's gospel from St. Matthew we again hear Jesus' baffling parable about the vineyard and how the landowner compensated his laborer. It is a parable about the kingdom of heaven or God, one of several Jesus uses to illustrate how the kingdom of heaven works? Wouldn't we like to know? Variously, Jesus has compared the kingdom to a mustard seed, a net, a lost coin, a pearl, or a treasure hidden in a field.
The parable in today's gospel could easily be a page from everyday life—one in which many of us are or have been engaged—the business of making a living. This is no casual matter. Making a living, is how we support our families and assure that they can live because there is food on the table. There is nothing to negotiate in that respect. This is a life or death matter, and our survival depends on it.
Some of you are aware or have seen a man with a shaven head in army fatigues who does work occasionally on our grounds here at St. Elizabeth's. It was Jim and his son, Anthony, who cleaned-up the church grounds after Hurricane Irma. Jim has been doing that kind of work here at St. Elizabeth's for a number of years now. He will call me, sometimes once a week, asking whether there is anything he can do for me. He is an army vet from Desert Shield, a very hard worker, age 63, lives in one of the cheaper motels on Highway 17, and travels by bicycle. I suspect that he could easily out bike many bikers in distance and endurance. Some of you may have seen Jim peddling up and down Highway 144.
Jim is not afraid of hard work. I have often wondered why he has not gotten a regular, dependable job, rather than living hand to mouth. Jim would very much relate to today's parable on a personal level unlike many who get paid biweekly or monthly.
As we heard in Jesus' parable a landowner went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard—day laborers, much like Jim. They agreed upon the usual daily wage. At nine o'clock the landowner again hired, telling them I will pay you whatever is right. (Would we settle for such uncertainty?) The landowner did not stop there, but did the same at noon, three o'clock, and even five o'clock. When it came time for the laborers to get paid—what a shock! Regardless of how long each had worked or not worked, they all received the same usual daily wage. No, this was not fair! So, those had worked from sun-up to sun-down complained to the landowner.
Would you and I have felt any differently? An honest day's work for an honest day's pay is the rule, right? Does Jesus seriously mean for us to understand that this is how the kingdom of heaven works? No matter when you show up, no matter how little you have done, you, too, will be granted entry into heaven. Does that sound fair?
Traditionally, in this parable it has been understood that the workers represent the good, religious people who have tried all their lives to be faithful to the God of Israel. They've tried to obey the Law of Moses and to do their duty. They've been good church-folk, carried their Bibles, and showed up for church on a regular basis. Jesus, though, comes along and welcomes the crooked tax collectors, the prostitutes, the sinners and says that they, too, can get into the kingdom of heaven despite having ignored and disobeyed God's commandments in the Law of Moses. How is that fair?
We can imagine that some of the Christians for which Matthew's gospel was written probably felt the same way. They had grown up as faithful Jews and had sacrificed a lot when they came to believe that Jesus was the Messiah of Israel. They had even been circumcised. Now, here are these gentile converts — pagan idolaters the day before yesterday — who are treated as if they had been obedient to God all their lives, despite having done nothing, nothing to receive such privilege. They showed up at 5 PM, as the work day was coming to a close, yet they got paid just as much as those who had been working all day. It simply was not fair.
Might you and I identify with those faithful Jews? We've tried to be faithful, worshiping regularly and taking on tasks to get things done in our church. Then we're told about the first being last and the last first, prodigals being welcomed, and the shepherd leaving the flock to go and find the one who got lost. We want to be gracious and welcome sinners who see the light, but doesn't doing what we're supposed to do, coming to church and serving on committees or teaching children, count for something?
Yes, in ordinary business dealings, the owner would be unfair and the workers would have a right to complain. In the 9-to-5 world, we would expect that those who put in a full day's work would get paid more than those who do much less at the same job. Jesus isn't arguing with that. No, He is illustrating to us how the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of God works. In His kingdom, things are very different than in our earthly economies. If it were a matter of earning entrance into that kingdom, nobody would get in. All of us would be out— hard workers and loafers, pious people and skeptics. Jesus tells us in the Sermon on the Mount: "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." No matter how hard or long we tried, we could never reach such a level of perfection.
What makes the kingdom of heaven different from the economy of the world isn't just that it's tremendously valuable but that it costs nothing to get in. The people of Nineveh repented and God forgave them. The latecomers in the parable came into the vineyard at the last hour and got a day's wage. The thief on the cross was assured by Jesus that he'd be with him in Paradise. None of them earned what they got. It was pure grace.
Some of you may remember the story I once told about our daughter Eleanor. As her senior year in high school was coming to a close, her godfather, Clark Case, called to ask me what she might like for a graduation present. I hesitated, not feeling comfortable with make a suggestion, when he said, "What about a new car? Would she like a new car?" Startled, I said, "Certainly, she would love a new car." The next week the two of then went shopping at different dealerships. He ended up giving Eleanor a current model Toyota Camry.
Eleanor subsequently told me, "Daddy, I don't deserve this." To which I replied, "No you don't, but that is what grace is all about—a gift freely given." How fitting that it should be her godfather that so profoundly illustrated that. Such unearned generosity really does touch the very depths of our hearts. It chokes us up because it is such a beautiful statement of being loved unconditionally. It cracks open our hardened hearts, exposing that tender spot, which affirms our humanity.
The kingdom of heaven is a gift, but not a cheap gift. The price of it, the labor that goes into making it a reality, is the life of the Son of God. Jesus told this parable as He and his disciples were on the way to Jerusalem. In the very next verses that follow, he takes the disciples aside to tell them what will happen there: "The Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death; then they will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified; and on the third day he will be raised."
That is the cost of the kingdom of heaven. It is not cheap. It is given freely to all who hear and believe the promise that God gives us in Jesus Christ. Since it is a gift, since we don't earn our way in, complaining about what could be perceived as unfairness because others get in, seriously misses the point. God is more than fair. God is incredibly gracious.
It was this graciousness that Martin Luther, the reformer, rediscovered. The Church had lost its way, making salvation a matter of works (you earn entrance into eternal life), rather than a matter of grace. The Protestant reformation pivots upon and is founded on grace. Another German theologian, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, would remind us that this grace is not cheap: He observed, "Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate."
"Bonhoeffer would argue that as Christianity spread; the Church became more "secularized," accommodating the demands of obedience to Jesus to the requirements of society. In this way, "the world was Christianised, and grace became its common property." But the hazard of this was that the gospel was cheapened, and obedience to the living Christ was gradually lost beneath formula and ritual, so that in the end, grace could literally be sold for monetary gain" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cost_of_Discipleship). Sound familiar? Has not the church today in many ways lost its way and along with it our culture and society? Who's calling the shots—our culture or the church? I think we know the answer, and we are the lesser for this loss.
This grace God offers us in Jesus is to be treasured above all else. If we are still thinking we can earn our way into heaven by being and doing good, forget it. That is not how it works. Is that to say that we can do as we please, and not go to church, pray, read the Bible, do ministry and mission, and love our neighbors, by no means? Since God in Jesus has so freely loved us (think of Eleanor's godfather giving her that expensive car and how that opened her heart), how can we not love Him and our fellow humans? Church, prayer, reading the Bible, ministry, and mission are about loving God, about loving our neighbor, and yes, even about loving ourselves. That's how it works.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Keys and main uncertainties in orthodontics for childrenWritten by:
If you are thinking about performing an orthodontic treatment for your children, Dr. Díez-Cascón solves in this video interview the most common doubts about the devices and the periods of the treatments depending on the case of each child.
When is the best time to place the orthodontic appliances?
The best time to place orthodontic appliances depends on the problem the child has. For example, if what you are worried about is that your child has a lack of space, it is best to wait until he has the final dentition, about 12-13 years old , and do an alignment treatment by placing braces. On the other hand, if what worries you is an orthopedic alteration, that is to say that it closes badly , it may be necessary to do an early treatment, before the replacement of definitive dentition to fix the bone problem so that it closes well, then there will be a period of rest and in a second phase we will align the teeth on bases that we have already corrected orthopedically.
When should the treatment be done in one phase and when in two?
It will depend on the problem, if the problem is orthopedic the ideal is to carry out the treatment in two phases. In a first phase, over 9 years, what we will do is correct the bone problem , we will correct the way of closing the child. This will consume a certain time, then we will let it rest and in final dentition we will consider the need or not of a second phase to align the teeth. On the other hand, if the child closes correctly and all he needs is a dental alignment, we will wait for the definitive dentition about 11, 12, 13 years depending on each child and then we will perform a teeth alignment treatment with fixed appliances .
What types of devices are there?
Basically there are two large groups, the fixed and the removable. The fixed appliances have a great control over the tooth, they apply a continuous and soft force. You have to know that the tooth as best moves is with gentle forces. On the other hand, the group of removable appliances, what they do is apply to the tooth an intense and discontinuous force, only when we carry the device. Therefore, broadly speaking, we could think that the fixed device is better, although it has a great disadvantage and that it creates corners where there were none, that is, it needs the child to brush a lot better because what happens is that the risk of caries increases.
How long does it take an ortodoncy treatment?
The duration of a child orthodontic treatment is usually 2 years but there are many variants. It is very important that orthodontist, child and parents form a team, that is, if the child starts to break the devices or the parents do not control that the child brushes well, a treatment can be eternal, it can be heavy, that is, ideal is that we form a team the parents, the orthodontist and your children.

The end of the road
After six years, 120 shows, nine releases, three bass players and two drummers, it was time
to move on. The truth is, the whole indie-rock game was really wearing on me. The joy of
playing music was being overtaken by the hassle of booking shows, distributing records, and
promoting the band. In addition, I was becoming demoralized. In the beginning, the fact that no
one cared or paid attention to our band was sort of invigorating: we had a "we'll show them"
attitude. But after years of playing to empty rooms, no one knowing who the hell we were, and
not selling any records -- and through all of that trying to hold the band together through a
zillion line-up changes, the heartache just became to much. In short, it wasn't fun anymore.
When we got home from a short tour in December, I called up Jon and Jerry and told them I
didn't want to do it anymore. I felt that I had done all the things an underground punk-rock band
was supposed to do and none of them had worked. I didn't start the band wanting to be a rock
star, but at some point I hoped to acheive a level respect and notoriety. (I think most young
bands want these things whether they admit it or not.) In retrospect that was pretty naive and
misguided. I lost sight of what excited me about music in the beginning and got sucked into
clawing my way up the indie-rock ladder. I kept waiting to see what would happen after the next
tour, the next record, the next industry contact... I think I realized about a year ago, that I was
getting tired with the whole scene. I was spending all this time promoting the band and still no
one knew who we were or gave a shit. I was spending more time on the phone and doing
promotion than I was playing guitar, for Christ sakes.
I learned a lot in LBWI. I definitely became a better musician and songwriter. I guess I wish I
had toured a lot more early on. I learned that the reason to do music is because you love it, not
because you want to "make it." Yeah, I'd probablly do it all over again, against my better
Thanks to the few who helped us along the way. You were the reason I lasted as long as I did.
xoxo Russell
Life goes on
I've got a lot of stuff I want to do, but right now I'm concentrating on another band I've been
playing with for about two years. P'Elvis is an all-instrumental band with bass, drums, guitar,
and saxophone. The bottom end is vaguely math-rock -- solid with starts, stops, shifts, and
changes. I make a lot of odd guitar sounds, feedback, and ambience. Our sax player makes
crazy Coltrane-esque sounds over the top. Some songs are angular Chicago/Touch&Go-styled
rock with Eric Dolphy-isms over the top and others are long drawn-out ambient/mood pieces.
Jon has also been playing in band that used to be just a side project. I think they're called
OMN these days. It's noisy, math rock with squealing guitars and far away Chicago-ey vocals.
Jerry's other band, Drive By Wendy, broke up about the same time Pound WI did and he's now
back in art school.
Most of this diatribe came from an interview I did with Ontario Music.

WHEN boxer Frank Delaney hung up his gloves, a friend asked him if he had time to train a couple of local youngsters.
He agreed and, within months, a gym in Shotts, Lanarkshire, was full of kids learning the sport from the ex-amateur featherweight champ.
Fast-forward 35 years and Frank's boxing club Springhill ABC is still going strong, producing some of the country's best up-and-coming boxers.
But the club has also helped hundreds of young boys to get off the streets and learn about discipline, hard work and fitness.
Now the 65-year-old's passion to help these kids has been recognised after his family nominated him for a Sunday Mail Great Scot Sport Award.
Retired engineer Frank said: "It's great news, I can't quite believe it. I don't know what I'd do if it wasn't for the club. Nothing gives me a better feeling than when one of the boys does well or I see them in the village years down the line and they remember me and their time at Springhill."
A dad of three girls, Frank – performance director for Amateur Boxing Scotland – was nominated by his middle daughter Kim, 30.
She said: "He has produced numerous amateur champions, including three British champions, but he has never forgotten his roots and continues to devote most of his time to Springhill ABC.
"It has not always been easy financially and it has taken a lot of time and effort but my dad is devoted to helping kids in the community get into sport and gain confidence, experience success, be part of a team and have fun."
Frank predicts big things for one of his proteges, 14-year-old Willie Hutchison, who has already won four Scottish schoolboy titles and two British titles.
His other successes include welterweight Kieran Smith, who won silver at the Commonwealth Youth Games and is a previous Scottish and British amateur champion, super-heavyweight Ross Henderson and Scott Forrest, who won silver for Scotland at the World Youth Championships last year.
Frank said: "I'm so proud of them and all the boys at the club. There are some who will never win fights but they love coming, they love the club and the friends they make there. I get the kids who I'm told are bad and they come in, grow in confidence and learn about discipline. Then I see them making new friends and see them out of the gym. That's just as good as the titles."
Frank's wife Dorothy and other daughters, Vicky, 32 and Angela, 26, are used to seeing their dad stopped in the street by former club members thanking him for what he did for them.
Frank said: "Only once did I think of giving it all up when things were tough and it was my wife who stopped me and asked me what else would I do with my spare time.
"I went to the gym that night, opened up and a boy came in called Michael Warner, who has now been three times heavyweight Scottish champion."
Two years ago, Frank decided to take over a derelict council building and won lottery funding and Coalfields Regeneration Trust funding to give the club a permanent home.
Members and local tradesmen turned out to give up their free time to transform the building.
Frank said: "I'm always telling the boys it's their gym. They created it, helped to paint it and fix it up. It's the busiest it's been and I'm very grateful to the community who got behind us."
Frank has no intention of slowing down. With three grandchildren – five-year-old Isla, 14-month-old Luke and 10-month-old Ross – he's still hoping he might produce a family champion.
He said: "I'm teaching the boys to shadow box already."
Health Secretary Alex Neil, MSP for Airdrie and Shotts, said: "Frank Delaney is a real pillar of the community.
"He has turned a derelict council building in Shotts into a first-class facility. It is now one of the best boxing facilities for young people in Scotland.
"Some of the young men he has coached have been referred to him by the police, who thought that getting them into boxing under his tutelage would keep them on the right side of the tracks."
To nominate visit www.greatscotawards.co.uk or write to us at Great Scot Awards, One Central Quay, Glasgow, G3 8DA, telling us why your nominee deserves recognition. Deadline is September 1.

Kardomah 94 – Hull
It's not often an ex-House Martin buys you hot chocolate and cookies.
Tonight is the night Ted Key and the Kingstons release their debut album, Raconteur Rock, a swaggering record mashing reggae, punk, folk and raucous anthemic rock.
Joined by renowned Golborne Road drummer Nick Harrison, and producer/promoter and writer Paul Greendale on bass, the trio bring their own brand of thoughtful, toe-tapping, hip-wiggling pop gems.
It's plain to see the influences and origins of the sound. The social commentary and story style narrative of the first House Martins record shines through, including catchy choruses and sincere, honest lyrics. Later in the set, we even get a short but sweet solo rendition of 'Happy Hour', met with rapturous applause.
He's a fan of The Clash, as any real music fan should be. This is obvious, but if you're not sure, 'Me copy O'London Calling' should cover the basics. The Strummer-esq, reggae-infused, clean guitar extends further, sprinkled throughout tracks like 'Len's Lion' and 'As Drunk as a Drunk Man Can Be'.
'(You treat me like I'm) Dead Bod' struts in with a bluesy, Stones-style stomp, with hooky lead guitar and punchy percussion. 'Oh Cruella' soars with driving bass, sounding like a 50's American rockabilly blazer – a harking to Ted's tenure in The Gargoyles. Pure brilliance.
And then there's the incredible 'Anarchy in Argos'.
It's an intimate, relaxed and easy going affair, made all the more so by how welcoming the band are – and who can say they've been to an album launch where you get free hot chocolate and cookies in the intermission?
Raconteur Rock is available now through streaming services, and physically via Amazon.

Matt and Lindsay were a young couple. They met in college. Matt and Lindsay maried shortly after they graduated. They had children. This is a story from there early days of dating.
Hi I'm matt. I met lindsey in college. I had grown up in a smal town. My dad owned his own business. I went to college in a different sate. It was mu first time that i had been out of the sate.
Lindsey grew up in a citty. Her dad was a lawyer and a judge. Her mom was a home maker. She worked from home. She was a notery public.
We were very different. I saw life from a prisom of growing up in a rural area. She grew up in a city. I was basicaly a common person . she was kind of an aristocrat at least in where she lived. Her family was prominent.
She was smart. She was third in her graduating class at high school. She was on the deens list at colege and maintained a 4.0 gpa. She was on the student council. She was smart and attractive.
I was an ok student. In high school i was mostly a b, c student. In colege i buckled down and was an A,b student. I did good for me. I was not even close to her level.
I had a few clases with lindsey. I had seen her around. We had said hi to eachother and engaged in talk about the wreather. That was about it.
Then she was elected to the student council as class president. On a fluke i was elected class tresuer. I was schocked. I was good with mony. I did not know That anyone knew who i was.
Lindsey and i worked closly together. We got to know eachother. I had a bit of a crush on her. I figured that i never had a shot with her. I was not thinking of a serious relationship with her or a casual one for that matter. I was not even sure that we were acquaintances at that point. I was ok with that.
We started to get to know eachother more. We started to see more and more of eachother. As it turned out we had quite a lot of common interest. We both liked science fiction and fantasy. We both liked books. Our musical taste were similar. We are not as different as we thought.
I decided to ask her out for cofee. I waa so nervous. I did not think that she would say yes. I decided to throw caution to the wind and ask her out.
"Linse i was wondering if you wanted to go out for cofee some time." i asked. I was realy nervous. I almost backed out several times. I decided to go with it. Whatever hapened hapened.
There it was. I had said it. There was no going back now. It was out there."yes. I will go with you. That would be fun." she answered. I was shocked. I never thought that she would say yes but then she did.
The first date was amazing. She wore a realy cute ourfit. She wore a pink sweter and a pink and white skirt with flowers. She wore flip flops. She had spent time braiding her hair. Neither one of us was nervous at the date. We hung out at the cofe house for an hour and a half. Then we hung out at the campus until we were both almost faling asleep. Then we called it a night.
We had a second date. We went out for dinner. The second date led to a third and fouth and kept on going. After several dates, i asked her if she would be wiling to be my girlfriend.she said yes.
Our relationship grew and grew. We both were pleased with the relationship. We grew closer together.
In our jr year at colege i proposed and she said yes. I was schocked that she said yes. She teased me about that later on. She assured me that she would never not say no. She had been looking forward to him proposing. She told me that she could not wait for me to propose.
Over the summer she asked me to stay with her and her family for a couple of weeks. I was nervous about it. She realy wanted me to. I agreed. We would both be buisy over the sumer before our senior year. It would be nice to have a few weeks to spend together before we got realy buisy with summer. I was woried that her parent's would not like me. I was woried that i would say stupid stuff. That seemed to happened a lot with me. She assured me that it would be fine.
I was able to drive to the city. She met me at a local gass station. I followed her to her family home. I got even more nervous as the time got closer. We arrived.
Hee parents were great. They went out of there way to make me feel welcomed. I liked them alnost right away. Her mom was an amazing cook. They were really good hosts. Things went great.
I had been disarmed. My fears had gone away. I was back to my nornal stuff. I felt at home. Then it took a realy weird turn.
"Did you explain to him the procedure? " her mom asked. I had no idea what that ment. That sounded really odd. "Oh no i have not. "Lindsey answered.
I was really concerned. What did that mean? Both of us were virgins. We had agreed to not to have sex until we are married. We agreed to sleep in different rooms while i was at her parents house. What was this procedure?
"Babe, mom has realy expensive bedding. It is very nice. Mom requires all who sleep hear to wear diapers. "She told me.
I was shocked and stunned. Diapers? How could this be? I had not had problems with bed wetting sense i was poty trained. She assured me that she was not singling me out. Everyone who stays hear has to wear diapers.
"So do you wear diapers hear?" i asked. "Yes i do. I always have worn diapers to bed. Even at college. I find them comfortible and relaxing. " lindsey told me.
"Once your diapered i dont want you to take it on and off. Please if you have to use the bathroom go in your diaper " her mom said. I was really stunned now. Not only do i have to wear a diaper but i have to use it for its intended purpose. I was not about to protest. I was guest at there house. I agreed to there terms.
She told me to use the bathroom. I had tried to decrease my liquid intake. Lindsey took my hand and we went to the bedroom. Lindsey voluntered to go first.
Her nom told lindsey to pull down her skirt and panty. She got on the changing table. Her mom put her in a diaper and used baby powder. She closed the straps. She put her in plastic pants over her diaper. She looked cute with a poof. She did not put her skirt back on.
It was my turn. I took off my pants and underwear. I felt weird being naked from the waist down in front of my fiancée and my future mother in law. I got on the changing table. The diaper felt weird. The baby powder made me shiver a bit. She closed the flaps.
We hugged and kiseed. I went to the bed room. I felt weird being in front of her two btothers in a diaper. They were diapered as well. I supposed that it was not that odd.
I got into bed. It was comfortible. I started to drift into sleep. I slept like a babby. I slept until morning. I woke up in the morning. I saw a bulge in my diaper. I had wet myself.
The house rules was that her mom had to renove diapers. I saw lindsey. She had a t shirt and diaper. Her diaper was quite full. I saw a stain on her diaper
"You wet your diaper?" i asked. "I always do. Dont wory about it." she said. I was told i could go first. I got on the changing table. My future mother in law took off the plastic pants and then opened my diaper. She wiped me with a wet wipe. My thing got aroused. My fiencae told me she got aroused when she was washed.
I got to put on underwear and pants. I felt free not having a diaper. Lindsey went next. Her mom took off her plastic pants and diaper. It was hot seeing her mom clean her diaper area. She put on panties.
We showered and changed. I got used to wearing diapers at night.lindsey and i grew closer over those two weeks. We watched movies while in diapers.
I was sad when the vacation ended.i went back to my home. I worked for my dad. I had a good summer. I worked hard but made mony.
I was excited not to have to wear diapers to bed. I woke up yhe first night i was back i had wet the bed. I had not wet the bed sense i had completed poty training. I thought it was a fluke. I wet the bed every night for a week.
I could not not wet the bed. I started wearing diapers to bed. I stayed wearing diapers. I was a night time diaper wearer from now on.
Lindsey explained my body got use to having the diaper. She told me i was night time incontinent now. She assured me that it was not a big deal.she was incontinent at night. So were her brothers and sisters.
When we got maried we diapered eqchother at night. It was a bounding experience.she was diapered when she gave birth to our son and daughter. We loved night time and wearing diapers.
The end.

Hi, I have posted a question about IT jobs on this forum 7 months ago (http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=86&topicid=170964). Today, I'm a belgian junior developer with 4 months of experience, and of course, I still want to come in New Zealand. I'm posting on this forum because I have a few questions, and I need some advices .
-First of all, my boyfriend will probably come in New-Zealand to do an internship for his studies. At the beginning, my plan was to come to New Zealand in January 2017, but his internship begins in september 2016, so I'm hesitating between coming in September or January...
-Secondly, I'd like to know how much money do I need to come, if I want to work as soon as possible. Is it possible to find a job from Belgium or should I come and find it during a WHV ?
-What level of english should I have ?
-Are IT certifications worth it ? I have two certifications (Java and C#), but is it usefull to find a job ?
-I read that I need at least two referees in my CV, should it be my employer/team leader or is it ok if I put colleagues ? Plus, I don't know if my current employer will love the fact that I want to leave his company
-Do you have any tips for me ?
Thanks a lot :)

Allow us to provide help to design a kitchen that your family will love. Renovating or transforming your kitchen is a giant mission with loads of variables to consider. Don't know where you're getting your info concerning refaceing cupboards however the cheapist I can find in Austin Tx for the standard kitchen of 20 cupboards is around $19000.
About 20 p.c of your estimated challenge price, or round $three,000 to $5,000 is an efficient amount to save for shock turns of events. In response to Reworking magazine, a major kitchen renovation can result in a return on funding of between 61 and 70 {30ef19e0eda523b7713372f0be49a9d955a8504ec1d9116fe6a14b7f6dfa86ef} of the fee.
As a house owner, the next query you need to ask when planning for a kitchen remodel is how lengthy you intend to dwell in your home from the time of the rework. Our daughter loves the house; she calls it "her" kitchen. To make sure that the new bottom cabinets matched the old upper units, the house owner painted each with Benjamin Moore's Linen White —a transfer that lightened up the whole kitchen.
When the original 1980 home equipment stopped working, including the odd-sized double ovens and electric cooktop, the homeowners knew it was time to renovate this cramped, outdated kitchen. Total, the overall Ikea bill for all appliances (dishwasher, cooktop, double oven and put in microwave) was $three,500; the cabinets value simply shy of $eight,000.
Steel-wrapped cupboards, antiqued counters and classic accessories have been paired with skilled appliances to present the kitchen "prompt age" whereas additionally standing up to the twenty first-century calls for of an urban family. The original kitchen featured tile countertops, a shallow sink, a single-pane window and little counter area.

* This position statement is about the intersection of poverty and the child welfare system. Disproportionality, race, and culture in child welfare are covered in other position statements. Family Builders Network notes that any discussion of poverty without race, implicit bias, and systemic inequality oversimplifies the complex interplay that lies at the foundation of the child welfare system and contributes to negative child welfare outcomes.

Bill's Blog
There's an old adage in American politics that the American people do not turn their attention to a presidential election until the World Series is over.
Like I said, that's an old adage, and sadly, one that is no longer followed.
At the age of 64, I'm in a daily battle to avoid becoming an old curmudgeon. I don't want to be like Dana Carvey's "Grumpy Old Man" from Saturday Night Live. He would say things like, "In my day it was hot and we didn't have air conditioning and we didn't have deodorant and we smelled bad and we liked it!"
I fully realize that a lot of the "good ole days" were actually not very good at all. And as Carly Simon famously sang, "These are the good ole days."
But I do fondly remember a time when the World Series was played on glorious sunlit afternoons in the first week of October. And I remember when we voters didn't focus at all on the presidential election until after the final out of the final game of the October Classic.
But these days the World Series doesn't even start until late October and runs past Halloween into early November.
The great American poet, James Whitcomb Riley once wrote, "When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder's in the shock …."
But these days he could write, "When the frost is on the baseball and the batter's in the box!"
The presidential election campaign doesn't just last a few weeks. It lasts an eternity. It seems like Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have been trading insults now for about a decade.
I think we've all made up our minds on how we're going to vote in the upcoming election. And so here's my advice to every American who, like me, is sick and tired of the 2016 presidential election campaign, which actually started around 2014.
Let's all turn our undivided attention now to the World Series. Every time Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton appear on our TV screen, just grab the remote control channel changer and switch it over to baseball.
I love baseball, but you don't even have to be a baseball fan to benefit from switching the channel from Trump v. Clinton to the Cleveland Indians v. the Chicago Cubs or the Los Angeles Dodgers. (As I write these words, the National League Championship Series has not yet ended.)
And if you are one of these rare individuals who loves politics more than baseball (and, if you are, I suggest you need serious counseling and perhaps medication), I still recommend you switch to the World Series for the next couple of weeks. Like it or not, election night will be here on November 8th, and as we unfortunately learned in 2000, the election contest might still go on for several weeks after that. And then, all too soon, the 2020 presidential election campaign will begin when Kanye West announces he's running for president!
Lord have mercy. Now, if you'll pardon me, I'm headed to my den to watch baseball.

Secant Piles
Secant pile walls can be used for temporary rigid support of excavation or to form permanent earth retention systems. This technique is suited for dense, urban environments. Walls are constructed by the sequenced drilling and construction of overlapping, reinforced concrete piles.
Tangent pile walls are constructed in a similar manner to secant piles walls except that individual elements are designed to abut the adjacent pile than overlapping it. Since tangent pile wall construction eliminates the need to drill through previously placed wall elements, construction is faster. This type of system is typically not used where a groundwater cut-off is required.
Secant pile walls provide both structural excavation support and earth retention as well as water cut-off. Although more costly than sheeted excavation support, this system offers greater alignment flexibility and increased wall stiffness. Piles can be drilled through most subsurface conditions, including bouldery or cobbly soils, depending on the type and power of the drilling equipment used. Properly constructed guide walls are essential to ensure accurate horizontal alignment and minimize pile deviation that could cause overlap problems with increasing pile depth.
Secant pile walls are constructed by the sequenced drilling and concreting of overlapping vertical elements. Primary piles are spaced at slightly less than the nominal pile diameter. Intermediate secondary piles are then installed (ideally before the primary pile concrete has achieved full strength) such that they cut into and interlock with adjacent piles, forming a continuous cut-off structure. Where the cut-off wall will also provide ground support, the piles are reinforced with H-piles or reinforcing cages. Typically only secondary piles are reinforced to avoid the risk of cutting the reinforcing members in the primary piles during secondary pile construction.
Advantages & Limitations
- Can penetrate dense soils and soils with natural and man-made obstructions
- Can be braced or tied back for greater excavation depths.
- Stiffer lateral response than sheet pile or soldier beam and lagging walls which minimizes deflections.
- Equipment used for installation is large, expensive and requires a large amount of space.
- Complete replacement of the excavated soil is required, with a consequent increase in the volume of spoil generated
- More expensive compared to other excavation support techniques.
