Benedict XVI and Jesus
Ekkehardt Mueller, BRI
With Pope Benedict XVI the Catholic Church has a theologian on "the throne of St. Peter" who seems to know exactly what he does and who has already made quite an impact. In his speech in Regensburg he quoted the Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Palaiologos (1391-1425) who had asked what new things Mohammed had brought apart from violence. Benedicts's used of this quotation was followed by an outcry in the Islamic world. Some observers felt that the Pope had made a serious mistake, while others held that his uncompromising attitude and his insistence that Jesus and Christianity are unique may have advanced the readiness of Muslims to continue dialoguing with the Roman Church. They seem to appreciate people with clear convictions. Benedict XVI has also reminded Protestant Christians that they are not a church. Although this is part of catholic doctrine and not really new, Protestants were irritated that in the era of ecumenism this was stressed again. Benedict XVI addressed also his own church, recommending a return, at least partially, to administering the mass in Latin because he understands such an approach as a means of integration and advancing the unity of the Catholic Church. Finally, he published the book Jesus of Nazareth which was immediately translated into many languages and is sold widely. The English version is a translation from the German.
I. The Book "Jesus of Nazareth"
Jesus of Nazareth is an intriguing book, containing interesting and thoughtful observations and theological insights. It consists of ten chapters, a glossary, and a bibliography. Following a foreword, Jesus is first presented as the new Moses. Then the author walks his audience through Jesus' baptism and temptation, he discusses the gospel of the kingdom, addresses parts of the Sermon on the Mount and the Lord's Prayer, deals with Jesus' disciples as His new family, and turns to the message of the parables. In the Gospel of John he finds principal images which he interprets (water, vine and wine, bread, and shepherd). This is followed by a chapter on Peter's confession and Jesus' transfiguration. Finally, Jesus' identity as "Son of Man," "the Son," and "the I Am" is explained.
The book ends somewhat abruptly. This may be due to the fact that it is the first part of a larger work. A second volume is supposed to follow. Most chapters are theological rather than exegetical in nature. Benedict XVI does not necessarily speak to the average readers, because he includes theological discussions and reviews theological literature, yet the glossary indicates that lay people are the intended audience. The author's main concern seems to be to restore Jesus' true identity and present Him as the one in whom Christian faith is concentrated. This is a laudable goal. His convictions concerning Jesus come across clearly. He asks: "If we had to choose today, would Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Mary, the son of the Father, have a chance?" (41) and states ". . . following Christ is not comfortable–and Jesus never said it would be, either" (109), but: "Jesus gives us 'life' because he gives us God. He can give us God because he himself is one with God, because he is the Son. He himself is the gift–he is 'life'" (p. 354).
As indicated above the author writes as a theologian which explains the carefully crafted language. Sometimes he mentions issues but does not fully develop them. For instance, he presents different scholarly views on the kingdom of God including the ecclesiastical interpretation, but does not elaborate on the latter (49). Instead he focuses on Jesus. Talking about the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, he correctly holds: "Jesus uses ideas that were current in the Judaism of his time. Hence we must not force our interpretation of this part of the text" (215) which would indicate that the text cannot be used as a valid argument in favor of the immortality of the soul. Nevertheless, he mentions an intermediate state between death and resurrection and thereby remains ambiguous (216-217).
II. Problems with the Book "Jesus of Nazareth"
In spite of these concessions and a hidden acknowledgment of problems in the past–" . . . the secular power of the papacy is no longer a temptation today . . .," (42)–he affirms catholic doctrines and positions. This has to be expected. By the way, this statement about the secular power of the papacy does not deny that the Catholic Church has secular
power. On the contrary, it affirms it. However, it claims that today this power is no longer a temptation. Here are now some of the problems with the pope's book:
• Monasticism and asceticism (77) as well as mysticism seem to be endorsed (95, 131).
• In a passage dealing with the saints he stresses that on them "God has placed a particularly heavy burden of temptation . . . They are called to bear them through to the end for us ordinary souls and to help us persist on our way to the One who took upon himself the burden of us all" (164).
• The beast out of the sea (Rev 13a) is understood as the Roman imperial power (165).
• Biological evolution is presupposed, because "when you have lost God you have lost yourself; than you are nothing more than a random product of evolution" (166).
• The church is supposedly built on Peter (288). It is held that he has received a special commission from the Lord which is different from Paul's because there is "continuity"–probably a hint to apostolic succession–and thus the primacy of Peter is affirmed (297).
• Throughout the book there is an emphasis on the sacraments (238, 243, 248). For instance, while discussing water in the Gospel of John, he remarks: "Spirit and water, heaven and earth, Christ and the Church, belong together. And that is how 'rebirth' happens. In the sacrament, water stands for the maternal earth, the holy Church, which welcomes creation into herself and stands in place of it" (240). The Eucharist is stressed most and is seen in many biblical texts in some of which others would have a hard time to find any reference to it. For instance, he connects Jesus' first temptation with the multiplication of the loaves and the Eucharist (32-33; see also 252, 261, 269-270, 280, 289, 302).
• The author seems to uphold the Decalogue, although he talks about freedom from law (61). Later he says: "The 'Law of Christ' is freedom . . ." (100). He suggests that Jesus "'spiritualizes' the Law and in so doing makes it the path to life for all" (101). Discussing Psalm 15 he comes to the conclusion "that the condition for admission to God's presence is simply the content of the Decalogue–with an emphasis on the inward search for God, on journeying toward him (first tablet) and on love of neighbor, on justice toward the individual and the community (second tablet)" (94). This quotation may affirm the Decalogue, however, our question would be how Benedict XVI understands salvation.
• In a section on the Sabbath (106-112) he enters into a dialogue with the Jewish scholar Jacob Neusner and concludes that at "the heart of the Sabbath disputes is the question about the Son of Man–the question about Jesus Christ himself." The problem is not just the centrality of Jesus, but if Jesus is central, "the Sabbath loses its great social function. The Sabbath is one of the essential elements that hold Israel together. Centering upon Jesus breaks open this sacred structure and imperils an essential element that cements the unity of the People of God" (111). He then transitions to Sunday. For Christians–he does not even say early Christians–the resurrection of Jesus on the first day of the week, the beginning of creation, became the Lord's day. "The essential elements of the Old Testament Sabbath then naturally passed over to the Lord's day in the context of table fellowship with Jesus. The church thus recuperated the social function of the Sabbath as well . . . An unmistakable signal of this was the fact that Constantine's Christian-inspired reform of legal system granted slaves certain freedoms on Sundays; the Lord's day was thus introduced as a day of freedom and rest into the legal system now shaped on Christian principles. I find it extremely worrying that modern liturgists want to dismiss this social function of Sunday as a Constantinian aberration . . ." (112). This sounds as if he supported government enforced Sunday keeping, but as in other places he remains somewhat vague. Yet there is an interesting statement on page 121, "Likewise it soon became clear that the essential content of the Sabbath had to be reinterpreted in terms of the Lord's day. The fight for Sunday is another of the Church's major concerns in the present day, when there is so much to upset the rhythm of time that sustains society."
III. The Pope's Methodology
We now turn to a crucial issue which is the Pope's methodology of interpreting Scripture. Some important statements regarding his approach are found in the foreword. But throughout the book the issue comes up again and again. The approach Benedict XVI takes is difficult to describe and may seem to be somewhat inconsistent and sometimes ambiguous. While he sounds more conservative, his approach is not always so.
He affirms the historical-critical method, which is understandable. His predecessor John Paul II had endorsed it, and he himself, as Cardinal Ratzinger, may have drafted the document that was accepted by the Catholic Church. However, his "yes" to this method is not one hundred percent. He thinks the method is important because interest in history should not be lost. Christianity is dependent on history, and the method offers a historical, although critical approach. But the method is limited. ". . . the historical-critical method . . . is and remains an indispensable dimension of exegetical work. For it is of the very essence of biblical faith to be about real historical events" (xv). "For the time being, it is important . . . to recognize the limits of the historical-critical method itself" (xvi). What then are these limits? Benedict XVI is very precise in pointing out the problem areas:
• ". . . the historical method not only has to investigate the biblical word as a thing of the past, but also has to let it remain in the past . . . the one thing it cannot do is make it into something present today . . ." (xvi).
• "Because it is a historical method, it presupposes the uniformity of the context within which the events of history unfold. It must therefore treat the biblical words it investigates as human words. . . its specific object is the human word as human" (xvi-xvii).
• "The unity of all of these writings as one 'Bible,' however, is not something it can recognize as an immediate historical datum" (xvii)
This is a tacit acknowledgment that the historical-critical method is not conducive to faith. Therefore, he suggests the use of a complimentary method, namely canonical criticism (xviii). This would allow for attending to the content and unity of Scripture. He criticizes liberal exegesis (111, 186, 219, 323-324, 328) which is limited (184, 186). Obviously he is opposed to the assumption of a gap between the so-called historical Christ and the biblical Christ (xi). He also does not see opposition between Matthew's poor and the poor in Luke (76) and rejects the ideas that "God cannot act in history" (35) and that He "says nothing and has nothing to say" (36).
So far so good, but following the critical approach he assigns Daniel to the 2nd century B.C. (56) and the so-called Deutero-Isaiah to the end of the Babylonian exile (347). Commenting on John 7 and the Feast of Tabernacles, he writes: "These water rituals are in the first place indications of the origin of the feast in the nature religions . . ." (244). Inspiration is affirmed, but connected with the church. Scripture emerges from the church. "The author does not speak as a private, self-contained subject. He speaks in a living community" (xx). On page 182 he uses "inspired" in quotation marks when speaking about Scripture and seems to suggest that inspiration is the maturation of Scripture "under the guidance of the Holy Spirit."
In good catholic tradition he affirms "the four senses of Scripture" (xx) and supports allegorizing (184, 200-201, 279). He does not only use and rely on some Apocrypha (30) and the church fathers (49, 207, 279)–although he admits that they may at times be wrong (212)–but stresses "the living tradition of the whole church" (xviii). Mentioning historical conditioning, he writes: ". . . the body of law in question is also historically conditioned and entirely open to criticism . . . Even within the Old Testament legislation, it undergoes further development. Newer prescriptions contradict older ones regarding the same object. These casuistic provisions . . . are nonetheless not directly divine, but are developed from the underlying deposit of divine law, and therefore subject to further development and correction" (124).
Benedixt XVI is certainly a brilliant theologian and administrator, and in some respect Jesus of Nazareth is a brilliant book, but it leaves Bible believing Christians unsatisfied. The author is bound by tradition, cannot really free himself to allow the text to talk for itself, and uses a methodological approach to Scripture which in some ways is conservative and in others is liberal. In the end it is–in good catholic fashion–the church that controls Scripture and not
vice versa. As Adventists we laud the author's emphasis on Jesus and his confession that he trusts the gospels (xxi) while wondering why he seems to have reservations with other biblical books. We are concerned about various doctrinal statements in the book and their implications.

Demobilization: Lomé Peace Agreement
1. A neutral peace keeping force comprising UNOMSIL and ECOMOG shall disarm all combatants of the RUF, CDF, SLA and paramilitary groups. The encampment, disarmament and demobilization process shall commence within six weeks of the signing of the present Agreement in line with the deployment of the neutral peace keeping force.
2. The present SLA shall be restricted to the barracks and their arms in the armoury and their ammunitions in the magazines and placed under constant surveillance by the neutral peacekeeping force during the process of disarmament and demobilization.
3. UNOMSIL shall be present in all disarmament and demobilization locations to monitor the process and provide security guarantees to all ex-combatants.
4. Upon the signing of the present Agreement, the Government of Sierra Leone shall immediately request the International Community to assist with the provision of the necessary financial and technical resources needed for the adaptation and extension of the existing Encampment, Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration Programme in Sierra Leone, including payment of retirement benefits and other emoluments due to former members of the SLA.
The Government shall accord particular attention to the issue of child soldiers. It shall, accordingly, mobilize resources, both within the country and from the International Community, and especially through the Office of the UN Special Representative for Children in Armed Conflict, UNICEF and other agencies, to address the special needs of these children in the existing disarmament, demobilization and reintegration processes.
Implementation History
- 1999
The disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration (DDR) process was conceived as critical to sustaining peace in Sierra Leone. The National Commission for Reconstruction, Resettlement and Rehabilitation (NCRRR), which was responsible for disarming the various fighting groups was reconstituted as the National Committee for Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (NCDDR). The DDR process started in October 1998 and was run by UNASMIL in coordination with NCDDR. The process was comprised of four different phases: (1) Phase I- September – December 1998; (2) Phase II- October 1999-April 2000; (3) Interim Phase - May 2000-May 17, 2001; (4) Phase III- May 18, 2001-January 2002.1
According to the eighth report of Secretary General on UNOMSIL (S/1999/1003, September 28, 1999), "the Government of Sierra Leone, working in close cooperation with the World Bank, the United Kingdom and UNOMSIL, developed an operational plan for the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration into society of an estimated 45,000 fighters in Sierra Leone" (page 6). "The strength of the RUF is estimated at some 15,000, approximately the same size as the Civil Defence Force. The AFRC comprises some 6,000 men, slightly fewer than the current armed forces of Sierra Leone, which have a nominal roll of 7,000. Some 2,000 fighters are thought to belong to various paramilitary groups. UNICEF estimates that about 12 per cent of all combatants are children" (page 7).
"Under the programme, UNOMSIL would verify the eligibility of fighters arriving with their weapons at reception centres. ECOMOG, under United Nations supervision, would then collect, register, disable and destroy the weapons, either in situ, which is the preferred course of action, or at designated locations" (S/1999/1003, September 28, 1999, page 7). During the first phase, pre-discharge orientation, held between September and December 1998, combatants would receive basic necessities. They would also receive an allowance before being returned to their communities. The process was expected to take 90 days.
The implementation was designed to take place in phases (see above).
After signing the Lomé agreement and returning to Freetown on October 3, 1999, RUF leader Foday Sankoh and AFRC leader Johnny Paul Koroma met with combatants across the country in order to sensitize them to the Lomé Agreement and the DDR programme (S/1999/1223, December 6, 1999). The demobilization program officially started on October 20, 1999, and the second phase of the DDR began on November 4, 1999 with the opening of demobilization centers at Port Loko (center for RUF/AFRC and CDF), Daru (RUF/AFRC), Kenema (CDF), and at the camp in Lungi.
As of November 30, 1999, out of an estimated 45,000 combatants to be demobilized and disarmed, only 4,217 ex-combatants were registered. Those registered at demobilization centers were comprised of 658 AFRC/ex-SLA, 1,469 RUF and 518 CDF ex-combatants, with an additional 1,572 registered at Lungi (S/1999/1223, December 6, 1999, 4). The weapon to surrender ratio was about 1:4.

- 2000
The DDR process was disrupted by the outbreak of violent conflict in May and June. Once the parties to the conflict reached a ceasefire agreement, on November 10, 2000, the DDR process resumed. "[T]he Executive Secretary of the National Commission on Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration, in cooperation with UNAMSIL and other key partners, has developed a draft revised joint operation plan for phase III of the programme, which was introduced to the Technical Coordination Committee of the Commission on 8 December (2001)."2

- 2001
In keeping with the decision taken at the meeting of the joint committee on May 15, 2001, the DDR program was re-launched on May 18, 2001. In the meeting, the parties agreed to set up additional DDR camps, including UNAMSIL's mobile disarmament unit. It was agreed that the RUF ex-combatants would be encamped for a period of up to four weeks, while CDF ex-combatants would stay for a shorter period. They would receive orientation briefings, as well as learn about opportunities available to them during the reintegration stage. The process was monitored by a mechanism that included CDF and RUF representatives. During the May 15, 2001 meeting, the RUF declared that it had a total of 10,000 combatants. The CDF declared a total of 15,000 combatants, a number that could increase up to 20,000, as many are not listed as combatants.3
As of the December 9, 2001 report of the Secretary General on UNAMSIL (S/2001/1195, December 13, 2001), 36,741 combatants were demobilized and disarmed (12,087 RUF, 24,456 CDF and 196 AFRC/Ex-SLA). A total of 13,500 weapons and 2.8 million of assorted pieces of ammunition were collected during the process. The demobilization and disarmament process was completed in the Kambia, Port Loko, Kono, Bonthe, Bombali, Moyamba, Koinadugu, Tonkolili, Bo and Pujehun districts, as well as in the western area. In the remaining two districts, Kailahun and Kenema, the process was expected to begin during the last DDR phase.

- 2002
A joint committee on DDR, comprised of the Government of Sierra Leone, the RUF and UNAMSIL, met on January 17, 2002 and declared the completion of the demobilization and disarmament process. A total of 47,076 combatants (19,183 RUF, 27,695 CDF and 198 AFRC/ex-SLA) were demobilized and disarmed. The actual number could be slightly higher. The higher estimate is 47,781, with the RUF accounting for 19,267, the CDF for 28,051, and others for 463.4As reported in Thusi and Meek, 2003, 7,785 hand weapons, 17,180 assault weapons, 1,036 group weapons, and 935,495 ammunitions were collected. UNAMSIL had destroyed a total of 24,944 weapons as of the March 14, 2002 report of the Secretary General on UNAMSIL (S/2002/267).
Citing the NCDDA's August report (August 2002), Thusi and Meek, 2003, report that Sierra Leone disarmed and demobilized 72,490 combatants (24,352 RUF, 2,574 AFRC, 5,953 ex-SLA, 37,377 CDF, and 2,234 others, including paramilitaries). By phase, the disarmed and demobilized include 3,183 in the first phase, 18,898 in the second phase, 628 in the interim phase, and 47,781 in the third phase. Among the demobilized, 6,845 were children. In the process, 42,300 weapons and 1.2 million pieces of ammunition were collected and destroyed.5

The Auditorium of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria bears the name of Alfredo Kraus, the most international Canary Island tenor and the most beloved by the general public. This is a gesture of tribute and gratitude for his work in the music world, his figure carrying the name of the city to the ends of the earth.
The building that houses the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium, the work of architect Oscar Tusquets, is one of the most outstanding and representative constructions of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Situated at the end of Las Canteras Beach, this isolated and independent fortress was designed as a lighthouse to identify and protect the city. Ever since it was opened, the image of the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium as a sentry watching over Las Canteras Beach has become one of the most emblematic views of the city.
The Canary Islands Convention Centre is the finishing touch to one of the best views of the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, bathed by the Atlantic Ocean. ÓscarTusquets had in mind in its conception an independent, isolated fortress, quite different from itsclosest architectural context. It is a work of enormous dimensions, castellated and seated on a pedestal of volcanic rock, which at the hands of the sculptor Juan Bordes was turned into living rock.
But beauty and functionality are not at odds with each other; so in its 16,750 m2 of usable surface there are 25 rooms with varying capacities for all needs, from a meeting for 20 people to a large congress or convention for up to 4,600 people.

Getting To & Around Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater
Hillsborough and Pinellas counties lie midway down the west coast of Florida, a region that boasts a growing a population of millions. This bustling area is popular with visitors and residents alike with its abundant sunshine, attractions, public gardens and miles of white sand beaches. With all that activity and a rebounding economy, there are times when things can get a little crowded. But the region offers plenty of transportation solutions to help commuters, tourists and residents get where they need to go, including major interstates, U.S. highways and an international airport. Additionally, the area has a regional transit authority for commuters, and street cars and trolleys for more leisurely travel. Whether you're going by car, bus, plane or train, there's an easy way to get you from A to B.
The Hillsborough County Aviation Authority manages four airports within the greater Tampa Bay Area: Tampa International Airport, Peter O. Knight Airport, Plant City Airport and Tampa Executive Airport.
Sarasota Bradenton International Airport
6000 Airport Circle
Sarasota, FL 34243 941-359-2770
Nearly 55 miles south of Tampa and 5 miles from downtown Sarasota, this airport has two levels: the lower contains baggage claim and ticketing, and the upper the departure gates. Major airlines arrive and depart from 13 gates, including JetBlue, American, Delta, United, Air Canada and Elite. On-site rental car agencies, taxi, limo and shuttle services, and public transit offer ample ground transportation.

The airport is also home to Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater, the largest and busiest Coast Guard air station in the United States.
Tampa International Airport
4160 George J. Bean Parkway
Tampa, FL 33607 813-870-8700
Tampa International is the area's largest and primary commercial airport. It lies 5 miles west of downtown Tampa and is easily accessed via Interstate 275. Four airside terminals with 62 gates serve most of the major airlines including American Airlines, Air Canada, British Airways, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, Southwest Airlines, Spirit Airlines, United Airlines, Lufthansa and US Airways.
Ground transportation is readily available, with on-site rental car agencies across the walkways in both the red and blue baggage claim areas. Courtesy transport to off-site rental agencies is available from the commercial ground transportation quadrants in the four corners of the baggage claim level.
Cab service, shared passenger vans and airport limos are also available from the commercial ground transportation quadrants. Yellow Cab and United Cab serve the airport, and both companies charge similar fares. Bus and public transportation are also available.

Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
2900 Apalachee Parkway
Tallahassee, FL 32399 850-617-2000
The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles issues driver's licenses, identification cards and vehicle registration and provides other driving-related services. Find many of the required forms and general information at www.flhsmv.gov. Speed limits on rural interstates are 70 mph.
Driver's Licenses
Military personnel and their spouses who are stationed in Florida may do drive with a valid out-of-state driver license. There is no requirement to obtain a Florida driver license when military and their family members move to Florida, take a job, or enroll their children in public schools.
While the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles oversees all driving-related matters, the individual tasks are handled by the Division of Driver Licenses, which has offices throughout the Greater Tampa Area. The driver's license offices handle driver's licenses, permits, ID cards, organ donor registrations and voter registrations. Appointments are recommended. The offices perform hearing, vision, road sign and road rules and driving tests. A vehicle with a valid tag and inspection and proof of insurance is required for the driving exam. It may be possible to convert an out-of-state license without taking a written or road test. To make an appointment online, visit https://services.flhsmv.gov/Oasis.
There are 14 driver's license and motor vehicle service centers in Hillsborough and Pinellas counties. For a full list of service centers and their hours of operations, visit www.flhsmv.gov/offices.
Vehicle Registration
New residents must register their vehicles within 10 days of becoming employed, placing children in public school or establishing residency. The vehicle must be insured by a company licensed in Florida. To complete the registration process, take proof of Florida insurance, the original title and the completed form HSMV 82040 or HSMV 82042 verifying the VIN to the Hillsborough or Pinellas County tax collector's office. If more than one owner is on the out-of-state title for transfer, all applicants must sign the application or be present.
Military members and veterans may be entitled to certain DMV exemptions and allowances. For more information on military and veteran exceptions and requirements, visit the website.
Distracted Driving
Florida does not prohibit drivers from making calls while operating a motor vehicle. However, because localities are allowed to enact their own cellphone laws, making or receiving calls without a hands-free device is illegal in some towns. Texting while driving is prohibited for all drivers in Florida.
Florida Department of Transportation
Visit the Florida Department of Transportation's website for information on travel resources, road conditions and closures, and traffic alerts. Maps and information about commuting options and public transportation programs are also available.

You want to ask yourself a few questions.
How much space do you need? You should sit down and figure out exactly how much space your business will require. There is no scientific equation to determine the exact space you will need, but a general rule is 150 square feet for each employee.
Next, figure out the best location for your business. Since you're expanding it would probably be best to stay in the vicinity of your existing location so that you do not inconvenience clients who are already accustomed to your location. You also want a location that allows people to reach you as easy as possible such as choosing a location that is on the subway/bus line.
Finally, keep in mind that the way your office is set up may have an impact on your customers and how efficiently your business operates. The layout and décor sets the culture for your company so you want to keep that in mind when moving forward with your plans.
Once you have narrowed down a few potential locations, there are several topics you will want to discuss with the broker and and your lawyer:
FYI, we know how hard it can be to find the right lawyer, let alone someone who is available and within your budget. So instead of wasting time searching, feel free to head over to LawTrades and connect with one for free.
- Make sure that the lease clearly defines the space that is being leased and what you are permitted to do. This should include the street address, a small description of the space, if you can paint the walls, etc.
- Find out what is included with your monthly rent. What utilities are included? I would expect at least trash removal to be included at the most basic level. What about Property taxes? You want to be crystal clear on what your rent is and what exactly it is paying for.
- It is also important to determine who is responsible for property upkeep, maintenance, and repairs. If the furnace breaks, who repairs it? Who mows the grass? If they will pay for the repairs, what is the proper protocol for reporting a maintenance issue? Do you report it and have it fixed and are then reimbursed, or do they hire the contractor?
- Is it also rather common for some businesses to sublet certain areas of their defined space to other businesses. This reduces some of the fixed and overhead expenses, so check and see if this is permitted. In my experience, there isn't really a common answer and I would say approximately half of landlords permit it, the other half do not.
Make sure that you get everything in writing and included in the lease. During the discussion, it is easy for the building owner to simply say X, Y, Z, or to offer you special incentives. However, you need to legally hold the property owner or broker to those obligations and ensure that part of the agreement is in writing and has been signed by both parties.
For additional information, eHow has a great article on commercial leases – http://www.ehow.com/list_6692521…
Hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please don't hesitate to reach out if I can help in any way or simply head over to LawTrades to get your lease agreement reviewed for a low rate.
Best of luck with the new space!

Uh oh, looks like it's gonna take another three comics to unravel this one. Stay tuned! I mean… assuming you access the internet through some sort of frequency modulating system, I don't know what kind of technology you prefer. Maybe, stay… connected? Hmm.
Also: as you can see, I've switched to fully-painted backgrounds now, as opposed to the old half-and-half system I adopted mainly out of laziness and lack of belief in my own skillz. For some reason, I decided to make this switch halfway through this comic, after I'd already started working on the backgrounds, which led to a needlessly-complicated drawing process. I'm going to develop this style over the next few comics, and hopefully it will work out for the better. (And yes, it will no doubt look a lot better once I actually learn how colours work. I am still relatively new to Photoshop, and most of my drawing experience prior to that was solely with a lead pencil, where shading just means "make it darker". Hence the fairly ugly results here.)
Anyway so I guess at this point in the story, these characters possess a Hitchens-esque dichotomy of both left-wing and pro-war views? On one hand, it feels kind of weird writing them this way, but on the other, it does seem to be fairly common for people to possess one or two viewpoints which seem strangely out of step with the rest of the their preferred ideology. And I suppose there are still a lot of progressives who still cling to various rationalizations for specific types of violence, even if they have already rejected the rest. Much like letting go of that one last god when you've clearly already discounted every other religion, it's just that final step which is often the hardest – especially when that final step involves making peace with dolphins. Eurgh.
Oh and finally, and I guess this is old news now, but here's the guest comic I was talking about in the previous post (or click here to see a higher quality version).

As Art Dubai enters its second decade under the new leadership of director, Myrna Ayad, there are several changes afoot.
The first, most notable difference at the 11th edition, due to open next March, is the Marker section – an area of the fair dedicated to art from one specific geographic area – has been removed.
Pablo del Val, the director of exhibitor relations at Art Dubai, who joined the team last year after being part of the organisation team of Latin America's leading art fair Zona Maco, explains the decision shows the fair is maturing.
"Marker was crucial for educating our visitors and the public on these specific regional areas but also on the different ways you can approach an art project," he says. "After 10 years, we feel we have accomplished that and also covered all the important geographical areas. The kind of international focus and energy that the section created is also very much present and repeated in the gallery halls, so we have not lost that."
As with previous years, the forthcoming fair will feature over 90 galleries from 44 countries and act as an important platform for discovering new artists.
The contemporary section will see galleries spread across two halls but in a new format, with a special section given to over 30 galleries who focus their booths on solo or two-artist exhibitions.
"It is a completely different approach," says del Val. "When a gallery goes with one or two artists, it is a way of getting in touch with an audience in a more genuine way. Making visitors understand the universe of an artist or two artists in dialogue can be a fantastic experience so we are going to highlight these spaces as you enter the fair. It is a different ethos and not so focused on the commercial aspect."
Ayad, who is set make her directorship debut with the upcoming fair, says the shake-up is in line with her aim for Art Dubai to "spearhead the cultural development of the local and regional landscape".

New research by Sapnoti Eswar examines whether using derivatives to mitigate risk prevents firms from innovating.
A common conception in business is that innovation is a 'good thing' and essential for obtaining a competitive edge. But maybe not all innovation is beneficial. Take the financial markets, which have come under scrutiny in recent years, with the innovations of investment bankers and other financial services firms linked to the recent financial crisis.
Now, research by London Business School PhD student Sapnoti Eswar is investigating whether financial innovation has an even broader impact across business sectors. Could the expansion or proliferation of new complex financial products be stifling productive innovation elsewhere? Could financial innovation insidiously squash the development of ideas that might have a profoundly positive impact on the organisations that produce those ideas?
Eswar is looking at large or medium-sized firms, where part of their activities involves innovating to either improve their performance or create new technology for downstream firms. These firms may be able to use complex financial products, such as derivatives, to hedge risk. However, if they become over-reliant on this insurance mechanism, it could dampen their desire to invest in and produce innovative technology.
"To a certain extent they're safeguarding shareholders or investors against fluctuations in return," Eswar says. "But it may also be that their incentive to invest in real innovation is diminished. So while they're doing a good thing for shareholders by reducing the volatility of return in the short term, they may also be inclined not to take on riskier activities in the form of R&D that have longer term pay-offs."
To test her idea, Eswar took as her example the supply of derivatives by investment banks in 1999 to gold producers in the gold markets, when there was a sudden increase in the complexity of the products being supplied by investment banks. "I need to see an external supply impetus, where for some reason banks either create a derivative or supply an excess amount of these derivatives," she says. "Then firms will choose whether they want to buy these derivatives, or continue innovative activities and file patents, or both."
So a firm conducts its business activities and uses derivatives at a certain level to mitigate risk. It also has a level of innovation output. Both the use of derivatives and innovation output can be measured. Then a supply shock happens. Now, after controlling for natural changes in derivative usage and other factors affecting innovation output, Eswar can determine the impact of the novel financial product on innovation output.
This work has significant implications for firms that innovate as well as market regulators and governments that view cross-sector innovation as broadly beneficial to society. Notwithstanding Eswar's caveat that her work is at a preliminary stage, and a number of outcomes possible, it may indeed transpire that using these derivatives to safeguard against small shocks and protect returns to investors prevents firms from innovating. And that innovation may be the very thing that actually makes their business more profitable in the long run and protects them from external market shocks in the future.
"We usually speak of financial innovation in good ways, in the sense that it has helped economies to grow and to make capital more accessible to constrained firms and therefore boosted economic development and growth," says Eswar. "So it has some real effects that we usually think of as positive. The only negative implication that I've read of up to now is that it tends to make markets more volatile, with more frequent price fluctuations.
"My paper suggests that there might be negative real implications to financial innovation, which might mean that we need to curb the supply of excessively complex financial derivatives."
This leaves us with a conundrum. If firms are unwilling to rein back hedging activities and take on more risk, what then? The logical conclusion is that we limit some of the innovative activities of financial firms, in order to preserve the risky but ultimately beneficial innovation in other firms.

Pininfarina's HyperSupercar PFo Will Debut at Geneva Motor Show
Automobili Pininfarina confirms 1,900 hp for its upcoming HyperSupercar will be launched at the Geneva Motor Show next year
Pininfarina has confirmed the production of its all-electric PF0 hypercar which is set to go on sale in Y 2020 following its official release at next year's Geneva Motor Show in March.
Developed alongside Rimac, the PF0 is expected to be the most powerful road car ever built. It is expected to go from 0-62 mph in under 2 secs and it should be able to reach 186 mph in under 12 secs.
The PF0 will have a Top Speed between 217 and 250 mph, Pininfarina is yet to confirm the exact number.
This hyper performance is comes from 4 electric motors all working together to produce a combined output of 1,900 bhp and 2,300 Nm of torque.
The chassis will be made from carbon fiber to make the car as light as possible and compensate for the four large batteries on-board.
An active aerodynamic wing is likely to feature at the back to increase down-force under heavy braking.
To put this into perspective, the PF0 is set to have 420 more horsepower than the Bugatti Chiron. These are some serious numbers, even by HyperSupercar standards.
The Pininfarina PF0's battery will be 25% bigger than the one in the Tesla Model S P100D, promising more than 300 miles of range. Pininfarina has also claimed the PF0 will recharge from empty to 80% capacity in 25-40 mins when using a fast charger.
The PF0 was previewed at Pebble Beach during Monterey Car Week this Summer, the prototype is now in Europe being shown to prospective customers ahead of its debut in Geneva in March next March.
The PF0 will be limited to 150 cars and will cost approximately US$2-M. I expect the PFo will be sold out before its debut.
Stay tuned…

Salmon Steak v. Salmon Fillet
A fish steak is cut crosswise (perpendicular to the spine), cutting through the bone, whereas a fillet is cut lengthwise parallel to the bone.
Can you buy boneless salmon steaks?
Depending on your fishmonger, yes. But as a general rule, salmon steaks have more (and larger) bones than fillets.
How do you cook salmon steaks?
You can pan fry, bake, or grill salmon steaks. We love pan-frying them in a skillet because they take only 10 minutes to cook.
(12-oz.) salmon steaks (bones removed)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
extra-virgin olive oil
cloves garlic, minced
Juice of 1 lemon
crushed red pepper flakes
Freshly chopped parsley, for serving

All donations at this time will be going to furthering the Chronicle through hiring individuals that have the same goals of providing fair, and unbiased news to the community.

August 2019 – Net Worth Update
So… Its time to update my monthly NetWorth Update. I wish I could say that I had an exciting and eventful month filled with adventures across the mountains of China, but most of my time was spent tutoring little kids online with VIPKID. Fortunately, this kept my expenses pretty low.
The Cost of Living Abroad: Shenzhen China
I LIVE IN CHINA! I never thought those words would be coming out of my mouth. Let alone posting them on internet. Teaching English Abroad has given me the opportunity to live in another country and continue down my road to Financial Independence.
How much does it cost to live in China? Is it cheaper than the U.S.? Well… I can answer that question now: yes , but not for the reasons you may think.
To show you an example of the cost of living, I tracked my expenses for 30 days. In this post, I will show exactly how much I spent for 30 days, while living in China. I'll go over the following expenses: HOUSING, FOOD, TRANSPORTATION, FITNESS, and MEDICAL. Continue reading "The Cost of Living Abroad: Shenzhen China"

February 2019 – Net Worth Update
February was another positive month for the net worth. We celebrated our first Chinese New Year in Shenzhen. Unfortunately, the city was completely empty, because Chinese nationals all migrate to their hometowns during the holiday. Since Shenzhen is a relatively new city (Less than 40 Years old) it doesn't have many "townies". So rather than celebrating Valentines Day (Thank God), we spent most of our time exploring the deserted city and Continue reading "February 2019 – Net Worth Update"

|Blood urate levels associated progression of parkinsons
|Written by NetDoc.com Medical News Feed
CHICAGO—Higher blood levels of the compound urate, a salt derived from uric acid that is associated with gout, may be associated with a slower progression of Parkinson's disease, according to an article posted online today that will appear in the June 2008 print issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.
Discuss this article on the forums. (0 posts)
Urate is a powerful antioxidant that circulates at high levels in the human bloodstream, according to background information in the article. It may serve as one of the body's major defenses against oxidative stress, or damage to cells caused by nitrogen and oxygen. Oxidative stress may contribute to the loss of brain cells that produce dopamine, leading to Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders.
Michael A. Schwarzschild, M.D., Ph.D., of Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, and colleagues studied 804 individuals with early Parkinson's disease who were enrolled in a drug trial conducted between April 2002 and August 2005. Participants' blood urate levels were measured at the beginning of the study. They were then seen one month later and again every three months until 24 months had passed. At each visit, they were clinically assessed to determine if their disease had progressed enough to require dopaminergic therapy.
Overall, 493 participants (61 percent) became disabled enough by their Parkinson's disease to require dopaminergic therapy by the end of the study. Patients with high blood urate levels were less likely to progress to this point. When participants were separated into five groups based on their blood levels of urate, those in the group with the highest levels (6.7 millimeters per deciliter or higher) were half as likely to require dopaminergic therapy as those with the lowest levels (less than 4.3 milligrams per deciliter).
The apparent association between urate levels and Parkinson's disease progression could indicate that urate itself protects dopamine-producing neurons that are typically destroyed as the condition worsens, the authors note. Alternatively, other compounds that the body eventually turns into urate could be neuroprotective.
"Measurement of urate on its own in patients with newly diagnosed Parkinson's disease as an indicator of an individual patient's future rate of progression is likely to be of modest clinical utility," the authors write. However, targeting urate or its precursors could be a promising pathway for the development of therapies to treat Parkinson's disease.

Homeless man arrested in assault on senior citizen
LEOMINSTER — A homeless man was arrested after allegedly assaulting an employee at Walmart last week and threatening to kill first responders who were taking him to the hospital when he complained of suffering several medical episodes when being booked, according to police and court documents.
The incident that led to Darren P. Vincent's arrest began in Walmart.
Vincent, 48, according to police, was leaving the store at 11 Jungle Road when he walked by two women customers at the Dunkin' Donuts and made two allegedly unprovoked profane comments. When one of the women responded with her on expletive, Vincent allegedly grabbed a package of sunflower seeds and threw it at the woman.
Then, as Vincent was leaving the store, he pushed past a 64-year-old female employee who was attempting to help a customer, according to the police report of the incident.
Vincent, according to a video recording of the incident, used his right arm and upper body to squeeze by the employee who stepped back and momentarily lost her balance and then uttered another profanity at her.
She was so shaken by what happened, she had to leave the floor, said police.
She, according to police, was also standing near one of the two entrance and exit doors, one of which had no one coming in or out, so Vincent could have used the other door.
Vincent then got into a van, which was video recorded, and left the store, said police.
Officers, having the van's license plate, stopped it and spoke to Vincent and told him he would be summonsed to court for assault and battery. However, once they learned of the woman's age, officers determined Vincent should be charged with assault and battery on someone 60-years-old or older, according to the police report.
Officers then located Vincent at Monument Square to place him under arrest.
It was then that Vincent began resisting arrest, police said.
Once inside the officer's cruiser, Vincent first said, according to police, "it's time to play games." He then requested medical attention saying he was a diabetic.
While being booked, Vincent allegedly got on the floor and said he was having a stroke, or a heart attack, or a seizure and that he was suicidal, said police.
Officers then called an ambulance to transport him to the hospital. Once in the ambulance, he called a department firefighter a number of expletives while continuing to say he was playing games and then told the firefighter he was homicidal and threatened the firefighter and officer than accompanied him to the hospital demanding they take off his handcuffs so he could "beat (their) brains in."
Vincent was arraigned in District Court for assault and battery on a elderly or disabled person, threat to commit a crime and resisting arrest, according to court documents.
Vincent was ordered held in lieu of a $1,000 cash bail or $10,000 surety bond.
His next court appearance is July 1.
N.Y. man charged in check forgery
FITCHBURG —A New York man was arrested last week for attempting to withdraw cash from another man's bank account at a Summer Street bank, according to court documents.
Michael Pearson, 61, of the Bronx borough of New York City, according to police, entered the TD Bank and used a false identification in an attempt to withdraw $2,340.
Pearson, said police, filled out a checking withdrawal form providing a false signature.
As a result, he was charged with forgery of a bank note and identity fraud, according to court documents.
Pearson was released on a written promise to appear in court on Aug. 6.

Rabbit Vaccination & Worming
Myxomatosis & Viral Haemorhagic Diarrhoea Vaccine
We use Nobivac Myxo-RHD vaccine to protect your rabbit against the 2 important diseases carried & spread by biting insects such as rabbit fleas and midges.
The viruses are carried in the salivary glands of the insects and are injected into the rabbit along with anticoagulants to allow the insect to feed. They will be taken in from infected rabbits and then passed on to other rabbits at feeding.
Even rabbits in urban gardens are at risk of infection from flying insects and from rabbit fleas carried on dogs, cats foxes, badgers and other small mammals.
Rabbit Worming
Ideally rabbits should be wormed TWICE a year with a good wormer such as Panacur Rabbit Paste. This also helps to reduce the incidence of E. Cuniculae – a parasite that causes an encephalitis and inner ear disturbance causing a head tilt and the consequent "flipping over" as the rabbit tries to regain its balance.

Jobson James supports recent comments by the Association of British Insurers about the need for greater awareness of trade credit insurance, which is proving to be a vital lifeline for many contractors and supplier businesses in an era of large corporate casualties such as Carillion and Toys R Us.
Earlier this week, Mark Shepherd, the insurance sector trade body's Assistant Director, Property, Commercial and Specialist Lines, said the industry needed to "raise awareness of trade credit insurance", as "too many firms remain unprotected".
Trade credit insurance is a highly effective type of insurance cover which protects businesses against non-payment of debts by clients.
Shepherd's remarks follow news that trade credit insurance pay-outs have reached their highest level since 2009. In 2017, claims paid to businesses as a result of non-payment of debts amounted to £225m, up 7 percent on 2016. With 11,017 claims, insurers helped more than one firm every hour last year.
Shepherd added: "The expertise of trade credit insurers is helping firms navigate challenging trading conditions, enabling them to expand at home and overseas, so helping Britain thrive. With the number of policies rising and insured trade at a record high, more firms are recognising that this cover is an essential business tool to help them assess the credit risk of potential business partners."
Jobson James' Divisional Director, Trade Credit and Surety Dean Smith echoed Shepherd's statement: "It's amazing how many businesses still aren't protected in this age of large business failures. And it's often the case that firms which are tied into contracts expose themselves to risk merely because they haven't asked their insurer about cover. If you're supplying a client and notice problems with payments to your own business or fellow suppliers, it's time to seek advice."
Trade credit insurance can be tailored to cover entire turnover or specific client accounts. Once insured, the cover also acts as a useful barometer of a client's performance. This is because a trade credit insurer will be alerted to financial problems with the client and in turn reassess the level of cover available. If it's downgraded, it could mean problems lie ahead.
For further information about trade credit insurance, call Dean on 0121 452 8738, or email email@example.com.
