Operation of the lift means draws the bed to a fully vertical position with the bed being between the lift means and being flat against a wall. Support structure for the remote end of the bed includes rollers on pivoting legs which swing into alignment with the bed as the vertical position is approached and which swing outward as the bed is lowered. Continued lowering of the bed causes the legs to pivot past a perpendicular position whereby the legs are inclined when the bed is fully lowered and contact a stop to securely support the remote end without requiring any manual manipulations thereat.

MOORE ATTORNEYS RETRACTING BED MECHANISM CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION This application is a continuation-in-part of co-pending application Ser. No. 29,899 of Stephen G. Moore filed Apr. 20, 1970 and now abandoned and also entitled RETRACTING BED MECHANISM.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to beds and more particularly to mechanism providing for movement of a bed between horizontal and vertical positions.
In small houses, apartments, mobile homes and other dwellings where only limited space may be available, it is advantageous to use beds which may be retracted against a wall when not in use. While a variety of retracting bed configurations have been designed for this purpose, these have in general been bulky, complex and difficult to raise and lower and thus have not been as widely accepted as would otherwise be the case.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,517,397 issued June 30, 1970 to Stephen G. Moore and entitled Powered Retracting Bed Construction discloses a motorized retracting bed which avoids these problems by utilizing a simple and economical motor driven mechanism which enables a bed to be shifted between an inclined and a horizontal position by simply operating a switch. Rather than pivoting the remote end of the bed upwardly towards the wall as has heretofore been customary, the mechanism of the co-pending application lifts the adjacent end of the bed thereby drawing the remote end toward the base of the wall.
Most users prefer that the upper surface of a bed be a substantial distance above the floor, heights of 18 to 25 inches being typical. In a retracting bed of the particular construction described above, this generally requires that the foot end of the bed he supported on of a bed which retracts in the particular manner described above, then the bed cannot be drawn extremely close to a wall when in the raised position. The fixed legs hold the foot end of the bed outward from the wall. Further, the presence of lift mechanism between the bed and the wall prevents movement of the bed into very close proximity thereto. This requires floor space which might otherwise be available for other purposes, and is undesirable for aesthetic reasons, when the bed is retracted.
While certain prior retracting beds have used pivotable legs at the foot of the bed, the constructions employed have introduced other undesirable complications. In particular, complex control linkages have been required or it has been necessary to pivot the leg manually and, in addition, to manually operate some form of latch to lock the leg in its extended position. This conflicts with the desirable objective of producing a simple, compact and economical means for shifting of a bed between the raised and lowered positions with a minimum of manual effort.
A bed which is retractable in the manner described above usually requires some means for holding the mattress in place in the upright position. The means heretofore used for this purpose tend to add considerable complexity to the bed construction or require manual latching of elements in connection with operation of the bed. Such means may be compatible only with mattresses of a particular size and as a practical result it may not always be possible to adapt a standardized retracting mechanism to a purchasers existing mattress.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION mechanism, of the form wherein the adjacent end of the bed is raised to draw the remote end towards a wall or the like, which can be retracted to a fully vertical position with the bed in close proximity to the wall. This action is realized in a construction which may have support legs of sizeable extent to maintain the sleeping surface at a desirable height. This is provided for by utilizing parallel upright lift means which are spaced apart sufficiently that the raised bed may be received therebetween and by providing pivoting legs in an arrangement wherein the necessary leg movement and securing of the legs occurs automatically, in response to raising and lowering of the bed, and requires no manual manipulations to position and latch the legs.
In a preferred form, the invention further provides a more convenient and adaptable means for securing the mattress of a bed which undergoes the form of motion described above, such means being compatible with beds of any dimensions without complications.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide for rgtracting a bed between a horizontal position and a fully vertical position, which may be in close proximity to a Wall or the like, to achieve a very compact disposition of the bed in the retracted position and without necessitating manual manipulation of folding legs or the like. It is a further object to provide simplified mattress 'securingmeans which is adaptable to different mattress configurations.
The invention together with further objects and advantages thereof will best be understood by reference to the following description of a preferred embodiment taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now to the drawing and more particularly to FIGS. 1 and 2 thereof, a bed 11 has a rigid rectangular frame 12 supporting a box spring assembly 13 and mattress 14 of essentially conventional construction. To aid in retaining spring assembly 13 and mattress 14 in place, a base board 16 extends upward from frame 12 at the foot end of bed 1 1 and a head board 17 is provided at the head end. Head board 17 includes upper and lower members, 18 and 19 respectively, joined by hinges 21. This articulated construction of head board 17 assists in retaining the spring assembly 13 and mattress 14 in place when the bed is raised from the horizontal position shown in FIG. 1 to the vertical position of FIG. 2 as the upper head board member 18 may be folded flat against the head end of the mattress. Clamping arms 22 pivoted to each side of frame 12 may be swung to overlap extensions 23 at each side of the upper head board member 18 as shown in FIG. 2, to hold the head board in the folded condition. In the lower position of bed 11, spring clips engage the extensions 23 to aid in holding the head board upright.
To further assure that the mattress 14 is retained in place in the vertical position, the head end of the mattress may be fastened to the head board 17 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. In particular, the mattress 14 may be encased in a conforming fabric sack 14' having an aligned pair of tubular fabric loops l5 situated along the lower edge adjacent the head board lower member 19. One of a pair of aligned rods 20 extends through each such loop and through apertured eye bolts 25 which are secured to the head board member 19 and situated one at each end of each of the loops. Nuts 30 are threaded onto each end of each rod to secure the rod in position. The loops 15 may be attached directly to the mattress 14 if desired but the above described construction has the advantage of providing a mattress cover as well as support.
Considering now the mechanism for supporting and retracting the bed 11, with reference to FIGS. 1 and 5 in conjunction, vertical lift means 24 are disposed adjacent the head end of the bed 11. Lift means 24 are preferably secured to a rectangular back board 26 which may be secured to a room wall 27 by any suitable means, although the mechanism may be fastened directly to the wall if desired. The particular lift means 24 depicted in FIG. 5 is comprised of a pair of spaced apart parallel vertical guide tracks 28 secured to back board 26, each being hollow and having a linear slot 29 along the surface which faces the bed. Guide tracks 28 are spaced apart a distance slightly greater than the width of bed 11 whereby the bed may be drawn against the back board between the track as will hereinafter be described in more detail.
A rotatable threaded lead screw 31 extends within each guide track 28 and is joumalled for rotation therein by bearings 32 at the upper and lower ends of the associated track. Within each track 28 a threaded sleeve 34 is engaged on each lead screw 31 and an arm 36 extends from the sleeve through slot 29. Referring now again to FIG. 1, each such arm 36 extends adjacent a side of lower head board member 19 and an axle pin 37 extends laterally from the head board through the arm to provide a pivotable coupling therebetween. Thus, if the arms 36 are raised along tracks 28, the head end of bed 11 is lifted directly upward and pivots about axle pins 37 in the course of such movement causing the foot end of the bed to be drawn toward the base of the guide tracks.
Referring now again to FIG. 5, upward and downward motion of the arms 36 is effected by rotating the two lead screws 31 in synchronism as the threaded sleeves 34 are thereby caused to ride upward or downward according to the direction of lead screw rotation. This embodiment of the invention provides motorized means for rotating the lead screws so that no appreciable manual effort is required in conjunction with raising and lowering of the bed. For this purpose, each lead screw 31 has a bottom end portion 38 which extends downwardly a small distance below the lowermost bearing 32 and a drive pulley 39 is disposed coaxially thereon. The two drive pulleys 39 are coupled by an endless belt 41 and the pulleys and belt are preferably of the variety having cleats 42 which provide positive assurance of synchronous lead screw rotation and thereby avoid binding. A reversible electric drive motor 43 is mounted on back board 26 adjacent one of the guide tracks 28 and has an output pulley 44. A drive belt 47 couples output pulley 44 to an additional pulley 46 on the adjacent lead screw extension 38. Motor 43 is provided with a manual control switch 45 and control circuit and power supply 48 which may be of the form disclosed in the hereinbefore identified U. S. Pat. No. 3,517,397 which includes limit switches for automatically deactivating the motor when the bed reaches the uppermost and lowermost positions. Thus, by operating motor 43 in one direction, the bed may be raised from the position illustrated in FIG. 1 to that indicated in FIG. 2 and the bed may be lowered by operating the motor in a reverse rotational sense.
Other lift means may be employed to accomplish a similar effect. FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate a modified lift means 24' which is adapted for manual operation in instances where electric power may not be readily available such as in remote cabins, mobile homes or the like.
In this instance, the back board 26' supports a pair of spaced apart vertically directed endless chains 49 each having one of the bed supporting arms 36 attached thereto for forming the pivotable connection to the head end of the bed in the manner previously described.
To support the chains 49 a drive shaft 51 is jour nalled in bearings 52 at opposite lower corners of back board 26' which are secured to floor board 53, the drive shaft being horizontal and spaced outwardly from back board 26' a small distance. Spaced apart drive sprockets 54 are mounted on drive shaft 51 and each has the lower end of one of the chains 49 engaged thereon. The upper ends 'of, chains 49 engage idler sprockets 56 rotatably mounted near the top of back board 26 by brackets 57 so that the two chains are parallel and extend vertically and are spaced apart a distance slightly greater than the width of the bed. Accordingly, rotation of drive shaft 51 in one direction will raise the bed as hereinbefore described while rotation of the drive shaft in the opposite direction lowers the bed. While the chain lifts may be driven by motor means, there are instances where manual operation is necessary.
, To support means for manually operating the drive shaft 51, a pair of spaced apart verticalpanels 58 and 58' are secured to back board 26' and floor board 53 adjacent one of the chains 49. A hand crank 59 is secured to a shaft 61 which transpierces both panels 58 and 58 preferably through bearing plates 62 embedded therein, the shaft beingrotatable and also being movable in the axial direction. A sleeve 62 is disposed coaxially on shaft 61 between panels 58 and 58 and is coupled thereto by splines 63 whereby rotation of the crank shaft turns the sleeve but the shaft may be shifted in the axial direction without affecting the sleeve. A drive pulley 64 is secured coaxially to sleeve 62. Below shaft 61 an additional shaft 66 extends between panels 58 and 58', the additional shaft being journalled thereto in bearing plates 67 and having a pair of .axial spaced pulleys 68 and 69. Pulley 68 is of greater diameter than pulley 64 of sleeve 62, to provide fora drive reduction in the manually operated system, and is coupled thereto by an endless belt 71 whereby turning of. crank 59 turns pulley 68 and thus shaft 66 and pulley 69. Pulley 69 is in turn coupled to an additional pulley 72 on drive shaft 51 by means of an additional belt 73 to transmit the rotary motion of the crank 59 to the drive shaft and thereby raise or lower the bed.
Unlike the previously described lift means, wherein friction and inertia in the motor drive system is sufficient to immobilize the bed when the drive means is inactive, the chain lift system of FIGS. 4 and 5 may require a latching means to hold the bed in position when the crank 59 is released. This is provided for in this example of the invention by a flange 74 on the end of crank shaft 61 which projects through the innermost panel 58, the flange having axially extending teeth 76 which engage with teeth 77 on an annular plate 78 fixed to panel 58' in coaxial relationship to flange 74. Such engagement occurs automatically as the crank shaft 61 is urged toward the latching position by a spring 79 disposed coaxially on the crank shaft between crank 59 and the outer surface of outer panel 58. The teeth 76 and 71 are disengaged by pushing in -oncrank 59. The crank 59 may then be turned to raise and lower the bed and upon being released shaft 61 returns automatically to the latched position at which the bed is immobilized.
Referring now again to FIGS. 1 and 2 in conjunction a retracting leg assembly 81 supports the foot end of bed 11 in the lowered position and is self operated in response to movement of the bed. Leg assembly 81 folds back against frame 12 as the bed is elevated thereby enabling the bed to be raised to a fully vertical position in close proximity to wall 27. Leg assembly 81 has the further property of returning to a bed supporting position as the bed is lowered and is effectively selflocking in that no manual manipulations at the foot of I the bed are needed to latch the mechanism in the extended position.
Referring now to FIGS. 8 and 9 in conjunction the leg assembly 81 is attached to the two longitudinal side members 82 of the bed frame 12 through a rod 83 which extends transversely to the frame and is journalled to side members 82 by suitable bearing brackets 84 whereby the rod is capable of angular motion relative to the bed. Rod 83 is spaced a small distance from the end of the bed for purposes to be-hereinafter made apparent.
A pair of bed support rollers 86 are rotatably mounted on an axle shaft 87 whichextends parallel to rod 83 in spaced relationship therefrom, the rollers being at opposite ends of the rod and each being in proximity to the inner edge of one of the frame side members 82. Rod 87 is fastened to rod 83 by four legs 88, one of the legs 88 being situated at each side of each of the support rollers 86.
A pair of base rollers 89 are mounted on an axle shaft 91 extending parallel to the bottom edge of base board 16 in close proximity thereto. One of the rollers 89 is disposed at each end of axle 91, adjacent the inner edge of one of the frame side members 82, and each such roller extends slightly below the bed frame 12 and slightly beyond the base board 16. Rollers 89 support the foot end of the bed as the vertical position is approached by riding on floor 94 and then up a curved surface 91 of one of a pair of ramps 92 disposed on base board 93 adjacent back board 26. Surfaces 91 of ramps 92 become progressively steeper as the rollers 89 approach back board 26 whereby the portion of the ramp surface which the roller 89 contacts when the bed is in the fully vertical position is most steeply inclined.
The interaction of rollers 89 and ramps 92 and rollers 86 and pivoting legs 88 in the course of bed movement is illustrated in FIGS. 9, 10 and 11 which show various stages in the course of lowering the bed from a fully vertical retracted position. As shown in FIG. 9 in particular, when the bed 11 is fully retracted leg assembly 81 is in a substantially vertical position folded back against bed frame 12 and may in fact be directed slightly into the frame inasmuch as the associated rollers 86 abut back board 26. Base rollers 89 at this position abut the steeply inclined upper portion of ramp surfaces 91. When the motor is operated to lower the bed as previously described, ramps 92 direct rollers 89 and the foot end of the bed outward as the bed begins to descend. As the downward motion continues, rollers 89 leave the ramps 92 and ride along the surface of the adjacent floor 94. During this initial portion of the lowering movement, as illustrated in FIG. 10, legs 88 are maintained in a substantially vertical position by gravity and thus in effect are pivoting relative to the bed frame 12 inasmuch as the inclination of the bed frame is being progressively reduced. At a certain point in this travel, rollers 86 contact floor surface 94 and thereafter the foot end of the bed is supported through legs 88 while the base rollers 89 lift away from the floor surface. At the moment of contact of rollers 86 with floor 94 the forces on the top end of legs 88 through bed frame 12 are urging the top end of legs 88 outward from back board 26 while frictional forces at the roller 86 tend to urge the bottom end of the legs in an opposite direction. Accordingly, the legs 88 are rapidly urged over center to assume an inclined position illustrated in FIG. 11 wherein the upper ends of the legs are further from the back board than the lower ends of the legs. Stop means 96 are provided to limit this over center motion of the legs 88 when the legs reach a predetermined degree of inclination typically at about 70.
Such stop means 96 may comprise an angled extension 97 on each leg 88 extending upward therefrom above the pivot axle 83 and having a stud 95 threaded in the end thereof for abutment against a stop when the legs 88 reach the above described inclination. In this example of the invention, a suitable stop is already present on bed frame 12 in that the legs 88 are positioned where studs 95 will contact a cross member 98 of frame 12 when the legs reach the desired inclination. Small adjustments in this final inclination of the legs 88 and adjustments to assure that all four of the studs 95 contact the cross member 98 simultaneously may be made by rotating the studs in view of the threaded engagement of the studs with the leg extensions 97.
Thus as shown in FIG. 11 in particular, the abutment of studs 95 against frame cross member 98 stops pivoting motion of legs 88 with the legs inclined relative to the bed frame whereby the weight of the bed maintains the leg assembly 81 in position to produce a selflocking action and to securely support the foot end of the bed in use.
When the bed is raised, a reverse sequence of action occurs. During the initial portion of the retracting movement the foot of the bed 11 rides along floor 94 on rollers 86 with the frame 12 becoming progressively more inclined until base rollers 89 contact the floor 94. Following this contact, as shown in FIG. 10, rollers 86 lift from the floor and legs 88 resume a substantially vertical position under the influence of gravity. As shown in FIG. 9, rollers 89 eventually ride up the surfaces 91 of ramps 92 while legs 88 reach and slightly exceed a vertical position. The bed is retracted and in position for a subsequent cycle of operation.
As best illustrated in FIG. 2, the above described bed support and retracting mechanism accomplished a substantial saving of room space and provides a slimmer, more attractive appearance in the retracted position by enabling the bed 11 to be drawn to a fully vertical position in close proximity to a wall 27. This is accomplished with a relatively simple low cost mechanism which does not require any manual manipulation of legs and latches therefor as has heretofore been the case.
The above described embodiments of the invention utilize a mattress sack and folding head board for the purpose of securing the mattress in position when the bed is in the upright orientation. As the mattress sack and folding head board are proportioned to be compatible with mattresses of a particular configuration, any particular unit of the mechanism is normally designed for use with a specific form of mattress. While this is a satisfactory arrangement in many circumstances, particularly where the mattress is sold in conjunction with the other mechanism, there are also circumstances in which a more flexible mattress retaining system is desirable. Such a system may enable a purchaser to make use of his existing mattress. Further, it may be desirable to avoid any need for manipulating and clamping the head board in connection with raising and lowering the bed. FIGS. 12 and 13 in conjunction illustrate a modified mattress retaining means which meets these objectives.
The basic construction of the bed 11 may be similar to that hereinbefore described except as will now be pointed out and thus includes a box spring assembly 13" and mattress 14" carried on a frame 12", the head end of the bed being supported in guide tracks 28". The head board 17" in this embodiment does not fold and extends upward only to the approximate level of the upper surface of mattress 14 Most mattresses 14" as presently manufactured include a pair of upper and lower rectangular frame members 101 and 102 respectively which are covered by the soft padding material 103 of the mattress. To secure the mattress 14" to head board 17 a series of retainer rings 104 may be employed. The rings 104 extend into the soft portions of the mattress to encircle one of the frame members, such as member 101, and also encircle a transverse rod 106 extending along the adjacent surface of head board 17" and secured thereto. Rod 106 may be attached to the head board 17" by being transpierced through a series of spaced eye bolts 107 which are threaded into the head board, nuts 108 being threaded unto the ends of the rod.
Referring now to FIGS. 14 and 15 in conjunction, there is shown a form of retainer ring 104 which is particularly advantageous in the present context in that it is formed of two semi-circular members 109 and 109' which are joined at one end by pivot means 111 and have pointed opposite ends 112 and 112 respectively which engage with a snap action when the two members are pivoted into circular configuration. Rings 104 of this particular type, which are available commercially, are easily pierced into the material of mattress 14" in that the rings may be opened at pivot 111 to facilitate entrance into the mattress. It will be apparent that various other forms of ring may be used for this purpose. The rings 104 may also be engaged when the head board 17" by means other than the rod 106. As shown in FIG. 16, for example, the rings 104 which encircle mattress spring member 106 may be engaged on a series of screw hooks 113 threaded into the head board 17".
The mattress retaining constructions shown in FIGS. 12 to 16 do not require a mattress sack nor is it necessary that a folding head board be employed with the bed. A particular advantage is that the retaining means is adaptable to a variety of mattress configurations as the placement of rod 106 or screw hooks 113 on head board 17" may be varied as necessary to accommodate to a particular mattress.

I have gotten into the great habit of sketching everyday and while we were gone I didn't have time. I missed it so much! On my journal page yesterday I did a little recap of the missing days and when I took a long walk I found some autumn treasures to sketch. Feels so good to be back to my daily journal pages.

| Reader-anonymous-writer chapter 18 . 11/13/2012
Petunia was happily fanning the flames which consumed his invisibility cloak, and Harry couldn't stop the tears from coursing down his cheeks.
I can only hope that Hallows of Death will not be destroyed by mere fire.
You'll never be going back to that school again. You'll never see your weird friends again.
As if you can stop them from finding Harry.
"Don't push him away, Severus. He needs a family as much as you do" and left Snape to ponder these words.
Lupin, why didn't you help Harry earlier, if you suspected something?
"What are you doing here? You're the last person he needs around. He needs people who care for him; now, please, go and fetch Minerva and Albus."
Severus Snape cares for him, if only because of Lily and the Unbreakable Vow. Minerva refused to listen to Harry about the Stone. Albus sees Harry as weapon for the war.
"And I don't think trying to get him expelled every term counts as caring."
When the 'school' is a castle full of continuous string of life-threats and meddling headmaster, it does count as caring.
But how was Snape going to tell Potter. . .Harry. . .Merlin, what was he even going to call the boy? How would the boy react? Thoughts rushed through Snape's head, whirling and dancing.
At least, Severus is not going to conceal truth from Harry. Not that it would be possible, with disguise wearing off.
Dumbledore nodded, relief clear in his blue eyes.
Harry lied, and Dumbledore let it slide.
Harry allowed himself a small smirk at the choking sounds, and a grimace at the revolting book, and went back to the section on healing and concealing charms he had been searching for.
We will not teach you Dark Arts, but should you find books around the school and receive the basis of Dark Training and decide to teach yourself Dark Protection, we would not stand in your way.
So you are telling me that "Dark Arts" and other kinds of Dark Magic are not necessarily evil or malicious, and can be used to protect; and also, they are not illegal; so what's the basis to determine, then, whether magic is dark or not? Purely academic interest in definition of "dark".
"Why did you make me turn Ron's voice back?" "Because I couldn't myself."
Hmm... Maybe, it's a hereditary ability, like snake tongue?
Harry's face wrinkled in annoyance. He didn't like Ron's accusing tone. "I don't know." He replied flatly. Ron flushed angrily. "Don't you think you've been a bit unfair to us?
Ron, you should be worried, not accusing.
We've been there for you through everything,
You know nothing.
"I can't do this, Dumbledore" he whispered to nobody in particular. "It's too much; I can't cope with this." Not noticing the dark figure around the corner,
Too true.
It was an unbelievable feat, but still. . .he couldn't bring himself to praise the boy who looked like James so much; his delicate features from Lily blunted by the arrogant Gryffindor's.
Don't forget that it's a glamour.
I am obliged to tell you that I simply cannot recast the charms because we do not know how your mother did them.
Thought so. But I fear that Harry will apply permanent transfiguration to himself.
This sounds like a nightmare. Dumbledore, Death Eater, flashbacks, insults, Neville's death, Minerva thinking that privacy should be invaded, Severus Snape and Harry rejecting each other again and again.
The headmaster's voice trailed off as he was swiftly transfigured into a frog by an exceptionally irate Snape.
"I saw things that I had not expected" he relied cryptically, and headed towards his bedroom, ignoring Draco's plaintive cries of, "Speak in English, Sev!"
Plain English is boring.
No attention until he felt two curses heading for him simultaneously, one from the front and one from the back. He put up his shield again, spinning around. There, standing behind him, was Snape.
Why would Snape send a curse at Harry?
"She doesn't like me; doesn't trust me."
A Healer should heal anybody: Albus, Gellert, Voldemort. Anybody.
Nobody can afford to have ties, least of all an ex-Deatheater and the Boy-Who-Lived. It'll just get us killed quicker.
Hardly. The most danger would be from the 'light' side, who would find reasons to distrust you over this.
I am beginning to wonder if it is possible to enchant small stones to explode-stupefy-or-petrify on collision, and then 'blast' the enchanted stones forward with precision, so that they would fly through any magical shield - which by definition cannot stop physical objects - and then curse the one hiding behind it. Or, the stones could on collision turn into moving statues of animals which would detain-or-distract the wizard, and destroy his protections - such as robes, amulets, bracelets, rings, portkeys... It would take a lot of concentration, and precision, to use such conjured-on-the-go objects in battle.
Dobby tried to wrap his arms around the Potions Master, but quickly stopped when Snape began to growl.
I honestly found it so hard to do this one AND end it without self harm, anorexia, bulimia, suicide etc etc. . .are you proud of me? A light and fluffy fic!
Thank you. Good day, good night, and good luck, Salazar.

PLEASE tell me the name of the seqaul...!
| Deanadelyon chapter 18 . 3/11/2011
Woo! Eighteen chapters of a many-times done plot that I can not quite stop reading.
If you ever decide to do an edit-over (and I don't blame you if you don't- it can be time consuming and, let's face it, it's fan fiction and there are better [if often less enjoyable] things to do), check punctuation and sentence flow; work on transitions instead of section-break lines.
Nice job overall. :)
| Fyreheart chapter 1 . 1/31/2011
"I'm afraid I cannot stop professor Snape from insulting your father."
Then he should resign from his position in disgrace.

While there, they will encourage our global partner, Suzy, hear from the French Leaders and Pastors about the spiritual history and needs of France, and visit different families on the Paris Team where they will hear more about the church plants in and around France. They will go on Prayer Walks, praying for current and future church sites. And they will end their week worshipping at our partner church (that Suzy helped start and attends), Chapelle de Nesle! Please pray for the conference and the beautiful city of Paris. Pray for the Coirons as they grow and learn this week - and pray that Suzy (and the whole Paris Team) will be encouraged and refreshed by their visiting prayer warriors!
Suzy Grumelot is a graduate of William Tyndale College (Detroit, MI) and has served with World Team in urban church planting in France for the past 25+ years. She moved into Central Paris in 2011, taking responsibility for "The Paris Project," a new initiative in innovative church planting in the heart of the "city of lights." With French partners a new church was birthed in 2012 in the 6thdistrict (near the Latin Quarter). Another French church-planting team is headed to the 1st district, so she'll be researching where the next team should go in the coming year. This means lots of networking, prayer and continued mentoring/discipleship with people who've come to Christ.
Her field responsibilities include serving in recruiting and short-term ministries for the France Team, and assisting the Europe Resource team dealing with resource sharing, mobilization and deployment issues on World Team's European fields. She's also serves on the executive committee of Shoulder to Shoulder, an inter-missional initiative that provides tools for mission agencies for training singles and marrieds working on teams.
Missiologists now call post-christian Europe "the dark continent." ...
Many of you have been praying for Tammy, so wanted to give you an update on her recent eye surgery.
"Woohoo! Doctor appts done . . . for now! My surgeon cleared me to be able to pick up my daughter again and lift suitcases!! We leave June 8 to go back to Guatemala and my doc drew a picture to explain how to remove the tube in 5 weeks that is reconstructing my tear duct so I'm hoping someone in Guate can remove that. He left the stitches in to help the wound be reinforced and stay strong. Thank you for ALL the prayers and encouragement! More appts coming this fall, but ready to hit the road again!"
Seth and Renee McLaughlin and their son Gavin are called to La Ceiba, Honduras, to serve the Lord through medicine and theological education. During a trip to La Ceiba, they were struck by the great need for gospel transformation in all areas of life and knew God was drawing them to serve this city.
Renee first felt called to medical missions in seventh grade when medical missionaries spoke at her church and told of serving those in great need. Since then she has prepared for this calling by obtaining a master's in medical science and working as a physician assistant.
Seth's heart for missions was stirred by Renee when they met in college. God led him to seminary, where his passion for teaching began to line up with the overwhelming need for pastoral education in the developing world. After graduation, Seth served as an assistant pastor for All Souls Fellowship (PCA) in Atlanta, GA.
The McLaughlin's vision is for Renee to help start a downtown medical clinic in La Ceiba and eventually train Hondurans in medical skills, providing much-needed jobs. Seth plans to start a pastoral training school that will serve existing local churches and support church-planting efforts in La Ceiba by training new pastors and leaders.
Tommy and Sara Annest are a couple whose roots go deep in Italian culture and whose hearts beat for Italians to know Jesus. Sara is Italian from a small town near Torino in the Northwestern part of Italy. Tommy, who is a native of Atlanta, moved to Italy in 2003 to work with Operation Mobilization (OM). In 2005 they were married in Sara's town in Italy and continued ministry in the local church community until the Lord opened the door for them to return to the United States in 2009. They have been married for ten years and have three daughters: Eliana, Melissa, and Lusia.
The last six years in Atlanta have been a time of preparation for the Annests. Tommy and Sara have been deeply enriched in their understanding of the gospel through the ministry and community of All Souls Fellowship. Tommy was also able to complete a master's degree at Reformed Theological Seminary in Atlanta.
Though Atlanta has grown dear to them, Tommy and Sara know that the Lord has called and equipped them to serve in Italy as long-term missionaries through TEAM. They are currently preparing to answer the call that God has placed on their hearts. They will be serving at a church plant called New Hope church in Bologna. Their heart is in sharing Christ, discipling young believers, and developing leaders in the church.
Many Italians call themselves Christians, but very few understand the Gospel. Sadly most consider Christianity irrelevant to their lives. Tommy and Sara's desire is to see the Spirit of God open their eyes and hearts to the hope and joy of knowing Jesus Christ.
The Annests hope to launch January 2017.
"In cities you have more Image of God per square inch than anywhere else in the world." Tim Keller
During an internship in Bangkok, Thailand. John and Julie were amazed at the immensity of the city, but more so by its need for workers to share the gospel. So many image bearers yet so few who knew Jesus!
God began to draw John to missions when he worked in a Christian youth hostel in Amsterdam. There his eyes were opened to the broad diversity of God's people and ways God could use him.
Julie has a background in counseling and education. She also has many years of experience working with refugee families. God has shaped her heart to work cross culturally, and Bangkok seems an ideal city in which to serve.
The Bowles hope to bring their talents and passions to the great city of Bangkok to join the work of a new church plant downtown. There they will support and help to grow the church through relationship building, discipleship, and illuminating the gospel through the arts. They will explore the potential for a tent-making venture as John seeks to employ his graphic design abilities within a business as mission model.
Jonah (6/27/11)
Tim and Rhianna Mills had the opportunity to participate in short-term work in 2001 with Mission to the World (MTW) in Thailand, and this led them to a place where they felt called by to God to serve long-term ministry there. They moved to Thailand in 2006 to begin life and work in urban church planting.
Thailand is the most thoroughly Buddhist nation in the world, with this religion intrisincally tied to cultural identity for Thai people, Bangkok, its capital city, teems with 14 million people and is a melding of ancient tradition and modern technology. The beauty of the city and its people stands in contrast to the corruption, sexual exploitation, poverty and other social ills to be found there, pointing to the fallen nature of man and the need for redemption through Jesus Christ.
The MTW team in Bangkok seeks the transformation of that great city, working with indigenous Thai leaders to plant city churches that will impact their country for Christ. The Mills seek to work out this calling in many arenas, including Tim's gifting as an artist to engage those in the creative realm and share with them the truths of the gospel. Please pray for the Mills family as God uses them to accomplish His work in Bangkok.

Mike and Kris Reid live and work and minister in Uganda with their four children, Zoe (16), Jude (10), Bryn (8) and Rose (6). Their first three years were spent in Mukono at Uganda Christian University (UCU), where Mike serves as the Campus Architect, Director of Planning, and Senior Lecturer in the Department of Civil Engineering. Kris is a physician and has worked with several local clinics and community-based organizations to provide health care, education and training for marginalized populations in the city and the village.
While they are both still working with UCU, they have started to branch out to poorer communities and bring their combined skills in strategic planning/architecture and public health/medicine to help these communities assess their own needs and assets and to plan strategies for the best way to accomplish their own goals with minimal outside assistance.
Mike and Kris believe that true sustainable development must be rooted in biblical principals and a core knowledge of our identity as children of God. True obedience to God's will for our lives results in changed people, and changed people can change communities.
Obedience happens more freely and works better when people know the deep love that God has for each of us in Christ. Knowing each of our inherent value and having a desire to know and please God brings to light the values of love, kindness, generosity, stewardship, honesty, doing one's best and planning ahead. These are foundational for holistic sustainable development. This is where they start: working alongside church and community leaders with the express goal of modeling the gospel to draw communities into a deeper relationship with Christ.
Their organization is called MPAKA Inc. To learn more about who they are and what they are doing, and/or you wish to support them, please see their website ...

After flexing his muscle over economic reforms, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Sunday built a new cabinet retaining his core group but combining youth with experience to lead the scam-tainted United Progressive Alliance (UPA) with some fresh energy for the 2014 general elections.
The major reshuffle was effected with the swearing in of 22 new ministers, including many among the existing ministers who were either promoted to cabinet ranks or given independent charge.
The PM also sent a loud message to the civil society activists like Arvind Kejriwal targetting his ministers and leaders over scams, by elevating Salman Khurshid, battling a NGO fund misappropriation charge, as the new external affairs minister. New cabinet rank minority affairs minister K Rahman Khan is also accused of involvement in a Waqf Board scam in Karnataka.

After having gained notable attention and appreciation with their self-released albums "Judgement Day" (2011) and "Destiny" (2015) and having excited those who attended their performances around the world, Raging Fyah - the 5-piece roots reggae band out of Kingston, Jamaica - now comes up with a third studio album entitled "Everlasting", which has been highly anticipated by their steadily growing fan base.
For this project, Raging Fyah members Kumar Bent (lead vocals), Courtland White (guitar), Anthony Watson (drums), Demar Gayle (keys), and Delroy Hamilton (bass) chose to work with esteemed Jamaican producer Llamar "Riff Raff" Brown, who in the past decade has produced tracks for top artists such as Damian "Jr Gong" Marley, Queen Ifrica, Busy Signal, Tarrus Riley, Morgan Heritage and Jah Cure, to name only six. All tracks were recorded live at the legendary Tuff Gong Studios with guest musicians such as Dean Fraser, Nambo Robinson, Dwight Richards, Denver Smith, Sheldon Palmer, Everol Wray and Hector Lewis.
On their "Destiny" album, Raging Fyah came up with a few tracks that had a strong crossover appeal, due to their poppy reggae feel. And that's also the case here with pop-oriented reggae songs like "Dash Wata", "Ready For Love" and the funky groovin' "Would You Love Me", one of two collaboration tunes done with Busy Signal. Not that these tunes are weak efforts, but it's doubtful whether they will get the real reggae fan excited. This can also be said about "Happiness", a cheerful song that sounds nice at first- and even second - hear, but fails to leave a lasting impression. Luckily the aforementioned tracks are easily outweighed by a number of powerful songs that, along with some real solid efforts, make "Everlasting" an album truly worth checking by any lover of roots reggae music.
The first-class, modern roots sound that Raging Fyah is able to create comes to the fore on the album opener and title track "Everlasting". This great roots piece is a good example of the kind of tunes that are brought by roots reggae revivalists from Jamaica like for example Chronixx, Kabaka Pyramid, Iba Mahr or Protoje. Although musically the subsequent "Justice" creates a different vibe, it's a matching effort and thus worth hearing more than once. Another big tune is "Raggamuffin", which is known from Dub Rockers' sampler "Reggae Dubs And Dabs EP" and, just like "Everlasting", is one of the album's standouts. And then there's also "Get Up", which starts with an emotional sounding violin & piano intro before it turns into a slow-paced sufferer's tune that vocally and lyrically impresses. Also leaving a serious impression is the album closer "Getting Dread", a deep roots tune that belongs to the highlights of this album. And so does the uplifting "Try Again", another winner with a real nice ear-catching melodica part played by Demar Gayle. When it comes to the collaborations included here, it's "Humble" with Jesse Royal that can be regarded as the most noteworthy tune. Also worth hearing, although not as strong as "Humble", is "Live Your Life" with contributions by J Boog and Busy Signal.
Even though not every track is a winner, the overall quality makes this third Raging Fyah album well worth checking.

Window Memory
In this memory exercise, there are several different "windows", each containing a different set of letters. These are "windows" in the computer sense, meaning that they are each independent spaces, and you can switch back and forth between them as needed. If you have trouble with this concept, you can just as easily consider them each separate drawers or rooms containing different letters.
