Providing freedom to roam
A key issue that we at Connecting Communities grappled with is, who has the right to decide when a person with dementia may wear a GPS tracker. A number of issues come into play:
- People with dementia (particularly in rural areas) want freedom to roam
- Dementia families (particularly carers) need the assurance and peace of mind that the people they are caring for can be found if they lose their way while roaming
- Search and rescue organisations generally support the use of GPS trackers to assist in the task of finding people with dementia who might get lost and need to be found by emergency services
- Risk aversion is a contributing factor to people with dementia not being able to roam as they wish
After careful examination of the various issues, particularly around human rights, our Technology Task Group – comprising people affected by dementia – undertook a four month pilot from May to August 2014 using the BOB Technology GPS Tracker system. Two dementia families were involved and key to this were weekly diaries summarising the journey from both the person with dementia and the carer points of view.
As part of this work, we prepared a booklet centred around the ethical issues involved in the use of GPS tracking devices, which can be found on our Publications page.
About the GPS tracker
The GPS tracker was developed by Ostrich Care for those affected by dementia by listening and working with potential users, their family and carers, health professionals, NHS Telecare monitoring teams, and by working with police and emergency responders to implement all their needs into the journey to locate a missing person.

What I'm Reading
This is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Medical Resident by Adam Kay
Although my fiancé is a Physician Assistant and literally tells me first hand stories about what goes on in the hospital every day, it's hard to develop a picture of what it's really like. I picked up an extra copy of This is Going to Hurt that was lying around in my office (pre-COVID) and actually gifted it to Lauren. She never read it…
So I picked it up. I figured now would be the perfect time to read in-depth about the everyday thoughts and experiences of a doctor. Adam Kay writes a hilarious diary of the types of stuff he dealt with as a resident in England, and finally as an OBGYN doctor in a major hospital. It's dark humor and sarcasm keep you shocked and laughing the entire time.
What Else I'm Reading
They Call Me Supermensch by Shep Gordon
My buddy Crow recommened this one to me. We've traded book suggestions to each other a good amount but this was one of the first ones I had never heard of. Shep Gordon should be way more well-known than he is. His story is remarkable and he's a fellow Long Island kid. He's friends with just about every famous person – from Jimi Hendrix to Michael Douglas. He managed the careers of Alice Cooper and Kenny Loggins. He single-handedly made the "celebrity chef" a thing in America after seeing how chefs were treated like rockstars in Europe but like trash in the U.S. And he's a super nice guy. Actor Mike Meyers even made a movie about Shep Gordon's life (trailer below).

Quarantine 📚recommends! Shep Gordon may be the most famous person you've never heard of. Aside from managing the careers of Alice Cooper, Tendy Pendergrass, Luther Vandross and Kenny Loggins he's also credited with creating the so-called "celebrity chefs" we now all know like Emeril and Wolfgang Puck. #books #bookstagram #booklover #alicecooper #shepgordon #supermensch #kennyloggins #read #reading #readersofinstagram #readmorebooks
What I'm Watching
ESPN's The Last Dance
I don't think I really need to talk about this. If you're a sports fan and you're NOT watching this then get off my blog and go watch this now. Michael Jordan was and is the greatest athlete in my lifetime. I'd probably put him and Tiger Woods side by side in that statement. We can debate plenty of others, but MJ is not a debate for me. He is greatness defined. There's no doubt Lebron is more talented physically, but Jordan is just greater.
One of the best examples of just how different he was back then compared to say, Lebron James now: In the 90's if you became a Chicago Bulls fan just because of Michael Jordan, no one called you a frontrunner or gave you shit. It was universally understood. That's not happening with your coworker who went from a Cleveland fan, to a Miami fan, then Cleveland again, and is now a die-hard Lakers fan because of Lebron. That guy sucks.
I don't think there's ever been a more univerally hyped documentary. Tiger King taking a QUICK backseat.

I know the science behind Tom Brady's sleepwear is probably total bullshit. But what's not bullshit is how damn comfortable this stuff is. Knowing we'll be cooped up in our homes for a while I'm investing heavily into Lululemon and "athleisure." And the ads following me around the internet are indicative of that. But these pants are not coming off any time soon.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. Virginia Tech Hokies
Notre Dame Fighting Irish (5-0 SU, 4-1 ATS) vs. Virginia Tech Hokies (3-1 SU, 3-1 ATS)
Date/Time: Saturday, October 6th, 8:00 PM
Where: Lane Stadium, Blacksburg, VA
By Mike Mann., NCAA Football Handicapper, Predictem.com
Spread: ND -5/ VT +5
Over/Under: 54
Notre Dame heads south to Blacksburg to take on Virginia Tech in a primetime Saturday night showdown on ABC. This is just the second all time meeting between the teams, with the Hokies having won the only prior matchup 34-31 back in 2016 as 2 point road underdog.
After a disastrous loss to Old Dominion, Va. Tech was able to rebound with a road win against a ranked Duke squad. There was great concern considering that starting quarterback Josh Jackson was out for the game due to injury, but backup Ryan Willis threw three touchdowns in his place and looked poised in the pocket throughout. With Jackson likely out for the season with a broken fibula, the team will need Willis to continue playing at a high level with another ranked team awaiting them on the schedule.
Two players continue to lead the stats page amongst the Virginia Tech skill position players, and both will certainly draw plenty of attention from the Irish defense on Saturday. Senior running back Steven Peoples has five rushing touchdowns, half of the team total of ten, while also leading them in yards with 302 on the season so far. Amongst the wide receivers Damon Hazelton tops out in receptions, yards and touchdowns and regardless of who was playing quarterback was the clear favorite target for either of their signal callers.
One area for concern in Blacksburg is the long term effect of the recent loss of defensive lineman Trevon Hill, who was dismissed from the team a week ago. The Hokies already had lost a handful of expected starters along the way, which makes the dismissal of a legit NFL prospect a possible issue going forward for Tech. They were able to offset it well enough against Duke with Ricky Walker and Houshun Gaines both pulling extra weight, but how they are able to counter the ramifications of Hill's departure will be a big factor toward the Hokies defensive success going forward.
Despite the loss to Old Dominion, Virginia Tech is set up for a strong run to end their season. They are already 2-0 in conference play with road wins at Florida State and Duke and now just face two more away contests the rest of way, both ones in which they will be favored against North Carolina and Pittsburgh. That will likely be a theme for all of their remaining games, with a home matchup against Miami in mid-November the only possible contest left that they wouldn't find themselves expected to win by the sportsbooks.
For Notre Dame the switch to Ian Book at quarterback continued to pay great dividends as he helped again lead them to a dominant, double digit win, this time at home against 7th ranked Stanford. The sophomore Book now has 7 touchdown passes, 3 rushing score and zero interceptions on the season and has looked succinct and precise throughout his eight quarter players of play thus far. The Irish have now outscored opponents by 50 points since Book was inserted into the lineup as starter.
The emergence of Book has helped all facets of the offense, especially to wake up the sleeping giant that is wide receiver Miles Boykin, who is arguably the best of their skill position players. Boykin had 11 catches for 144 yards and a touchdown against Stanford and with NFL caliber receiving skills should continue to remain the favorite reliable target of Ian Book.

There was some concern for the Irish running game when it was announced that Jafar Armstrong would miss the game against the Cardinal, but the return of previously suspended Dexter Williams showed there was little reason to worry. The expected starter to begin the season, Williams scored on his first carry of the year before finishing with 161 yards and a touchdown against Stanford. With Armstrong expected back and Tony Jones Jr. another relevant aspect of the backfield, the Notre Dame rushing attack appears to be getting even stronger as the season moves on.
While Ian Book and of the offense garner a lot of the attention, the Notre Dame defense continues to play at a near dominant level. They allowed just 31 second half yards of offense to Bryce Love and Stanford and threw the first month of the year have been at their best when it matters most. Highlighted by Jerry Tillery, who had four sacks against Stanford, and Te'Von Coney, the team leader in tackles, the Irish defense could very well be the strength of the team and will need to keep playing at such a high level if they plan on keeping their playoff hopes alive.
Blacksburg has a well earned reputation as one of the toughest environments to play in, and throw in a nighttime atmosphere and it brings it to a whole other level. Despite that, I am still backing the Irish this week, as after watching their new found offense with Book at the helm combined with an already strong defense, I think they have a special team in the making in South Bend that has a good chance of running the table all the way to the BCS Playoffs. By games end you can count on Notre Dame to get the win and cover against Virginia Tech on Saturday night.

Did God Really Give Rock & Roll To You?
Written by Paul D. Race for School Of The Rock
K.I.S.S., Petra, and several other groups have recorded versions of the old Argent song "God Gave Rock and Roll To You." There is no doubt that the song is catchy. And, for Christians who liked the chorus but mistrusted the verses or the bands singing them, the Petra version even had Christian lyrics.
But for decades after Rock and Roll made an appearance, there seemed to be a struggle between those who believed that God gave Rock and Roll to you and those who believed it sprang directly from the bowels of hell. And let's face it, with so many bands writing twisted or immoral lyrics, you couldn't entirely blame older adults who couldn't tell the difference between the Carpenters and Black Sabbath for reacting "on the side of caution." Unfortunately, "I don't care for this musical style" all too often turned into "All songs with drums are of the devil."
Somehow, though, the tide did turn eventually. Today, the vast majority of music played on Christian radio stations has Rock influences, and almost nobody gets kicked out of church for plugging in their guitars. After all, forty years have gone by since "Jesus music" started. Most members of growing churches today were very young or not even born when the music of Andre Crouch and The Second Chapter of Acts began finding its way to mainstream churches and Christian radio stations. But every so often, I still run into someone who has "lived in a cave" for the last forty years and gets uncomfortable if the bass guitar plays too many notes or some such. So occasionally I find myself reviewing the ongoing relationship of Gospel and "popular music" (not just Rock). The ties are far closer than you might think.
Here's a great irony: nearly every aspect of Rock and Roll music that early Rock haters criticized entered our culture's musical vocabulary not through Rock and Roll, but through a specifically religious medium - the early Gospel songs of enslaved African Americans. Sadly, it's not a very pretty history.
The Roots of American Popular Music
Three hundred years ago, folk and popular music rhythms among European emigrants to this continent were firmly based on the idea of subdividing (most) measures and notes by half, by half again, and by half again. Whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, and so on. Very orderly and, to modern ears, rigid.
But as cotton plantations brought in hundreds of thousands of captive peoples from West Africa, they were also importing the captives' love of complex rhythms, as well as certain kinds of harmonies and approaches to melody. As soon as a few of African exiles had absorbed the white man's religion, they began making up religious songs that included West African musical idioms. What we used to call the "Negro Spiritual" was born.
Even non-musicians recognize the raw emotional power of some of those old songs. But a musicologist would have noted unique influences from West African music underlying those simple, but profound lyrics. Here are a few examples:
You may be wondering why I haven't added the notorious emphasized backbeat to the list of West African-inspired musical patterns that found their way to our shores. After all, certain early Rock-haters identified "the backbeat" specifically as a jungle rhythm invented by witch doctors to call demons. But emphasizing the backbeat (for example, putting an emphasis on beats two and four in a 4/4 song), is hardly unique to West African-inspired music. True, it's important. But musicologists know that backbeats have long been emphasized in many cultures, including Eastern European and Middle Eastern music (think "Hava Nagila"). So, while a strong backbeat probably entered our culture's core musical vocabulary through early Gospel music, it is not specifically West African.
Of course, early Gospel music was more than just rhythms and blue notes; it was also simple but powerful lyrics and tunes, often sung in odd scales and rich harmonies that also affected other genres of music.
But American popular music's relationship with Gospel music goes way beyond the effect of early influences.
Time for a tour of those effects:
Gospel and Minstrel Shows
I told you this story wasn't pretty. During much of the 1800s, a favorite entertainment for some white people was other white people doing parodies of black people performing songs inspired by African American songs. As insulting as that must have been to black people, it did cause white composers like Stephen Foster to study and imitate the music of another culture. Consequently, several kinds of West African-inspired syncopation and musical phrasing, totally unremarkable to us now, found their way into Minstrel Show music and from there into other genres. (Think of the "Camptown Races" line "Going to bet on the bay.")
In addition, Minstrel shows occasionally incorporated entire Gospel songs, such as "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." These in turn found their way into other settings.
Gospel and Piano
By the late 1800s, many African American churches had pianos. And one of the challenges of the piano player was to accompany songs that were not created with the piano in mind. This led to new ways of structuring piano parts that eventually affected every kind of American music. For our purposes, we'll point out just three innovations typical of early Gospel piano music (and related genres).
In short, early Gospel music led to the creation of a unique "Gospel piano" style that is still identifiable today, despite the fact that it has been transplanted to many other genres.
Gospel and Dance Hall Music
The syncopated, boisterous music of the Minstrel shows was borrowed and imitated in late 1800s' dance halls. The Minstrel tune "Golden Slippers," might be followed by "Buffalo Gals," a dance hall number. Again, we don't think of "Buffalo Gals" as particularly progressive today, but the syncopated "Come out tonight" lines are radically different from the "white" popular music of a few decades earlier. (If you're having trouble conjuring up the sound of these pieces as they might have been presented in the 1890s, just think of the piano player in the saloon scene in every Western movie ever made.)
African-American Gospel Choirs
By 1870, realizing that a unique and important musical heritage was on the verge of being lost, African American music professors and choir directors had started writing down the words and music of early Gospel music and leading choir performances. The Fisk Jubilee Singers were one of the most prominent African American groups seeking to conserve and to popularize this genre. Such exposure influenced both white churches and white composers. Ironically, groups like the Fisk Jubilee Singers also kept certain Stephen Foster songs in circulation, so in a sense the Gospel-to-Minstrel connection came full circle.
Gospel and White Choirs
By the early 1900s, white choir directors who appreciated the energy of some early Gospel songs and the haunting melodies of others began arranging them for white choirs to sing. One problem that they encountered was that early Gospel melodies didn't always fit the European-style harmonic arrangements they were used to. So new ways of harmonizing these kind of melodies were invented, including use of sixth, major seventh, ninth, and thirteenth chords that had previously been popularized by impressionist composers. Though such harmonization had little effect on other musical genres, it did affect the way later white composers arranged new songs that they were attempting to write in a Gospel style. You can still hear these sounds whenever a choir (white, black, or mixed) drags up an old published choir arrangement of an old "spiritual."
"Black Gospel" and "White" Churches
In addition to this cross-fertilization between scholars and arrangers, African American Gospel music had direct influence on more than one circle of white believers. For example, the original Pentecostal Holiness movements of the early 1900s occurred in white and black churches at the same time. White preachers preached in black churches and vice versa, and members visited each other's churches regularly. Through such cross-fertilizations, a number of songs that started in black churches found their way into the informal repertoire of white churches. Did they affect the hymnals? Not much. But the effect on white "Southern Gospel" music was profound. Groups like the Cathedrals, the Goodmans and the Gaithers may sound "lily white" to our ears today. But if you removed the Gospel-inspired syncopations and harmonies from their songs, you'd have an entirely different kind of music.
Gospel and Jazz
There is little question that early Jazz musicians honed their skills and developed what we used to call Ragtime in the brothels of New Orleans - even though several of those musicians started out playing in church. But many of the reputed innovations of early Jazz came directly from Gospel music. So did some of the earliest Jazz classics, such as "When the Saints Go Marching In." As Jazz evolved over the years, many of its performers continued to pay tribute to their gospel roots by "riffing" on traditional Gospel songs or by writing Gospel-inspired (if not Gospel-themed) songs. Dizzie Gillespie's "Swing Low, Sweet Cadillac" and Billie Holiday's "God Bless the Child" come to mind.
Gospel and Blues
The blue notes, melodic twists, and syncopation of early Gospel found their way directly into another unique American music form - the Blues.
Because of the content of most early Blues songs and the places most of them were performed, the Blues did not intersect with Gospel music as often as some other styles. But when Blues songs were transcribed into sheet music, Gospel piano styles often found their way into the arrangements.
One of the Blues' most distinctive characteristics, the "12-Bar Blues" chord progression, did not apparently come from Gospel. But as Blues progressions influenced other genres such as Boogie-Woogie, Jazz, and early Rock and Roll, they inevitably brought along other musical idioms that did come originally from Gospel.
Gospel and Tin Pan Alley
Starting about 1885, when sheet music publishing was in its heyday, songwriters and publishers began moving their offices into adjacent buildings on a Manhattan street. That neighborhood came to be called Tin Pan Alley because of the cacophony of so many cheap pianos in close proximity. For about the first three decades, demand for sheet music was so high that they published anything they could get their hands on, including Art songs, Minstrel, Dance Hall, Blues, Ragtime, and Gospel music. When wax cylinder phonographs and crystal radios created new demand for new sounds, songwriters became even more busy.
In the early 1900s, Jewish composers like Irving Berlin and George Gershwin were not afraid to borrow musical ideas from African American sources, whether they were filtered through other genres like Minstrel, or whether they were copied directly from the black night club musicians that young George and Ira Gershwin used to sneak into Harlem to hear.
Tin Pan Alley songs developed their own identity apart from the Dance Hall songs and other genres that fed into them. They added features like a throwaway "first verse" that was really just an introduction, an eminently singable chorus with a strong hook, inner rhymes, a "bridge" that was intrinsic to the song's structure, and, in many cases, exceptionally clever wordplay. But in the process of that development, they occasionally went back to Gospel roots for inspiration, a habit that became even more obvious when Tin Pan Alley songs started working their way into musical theatre and movie musicals.
Gospel and Musical Theatre
Because few of the early "musicals" had a pretense of a plot, what they really depended on was having a new "spectacle" and a different, compelling style of music every several minutes throughout the performance. This allowed room for the occasional Gospel-style song to be inserted, usually sung with enthusiasm that rivaled the old Minstrel shows. This trend continued through the "movie musical" era (think "Get Happy" in Summer Stock). It also continued into the modern "musical theatre" era. Examples include "Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat" (from Guys and Dolls), "Brotherhood of Man" (from How to Succeed in Business), and "Run, Freedom, Run" (from Urinetown). While none of these songs comes close to communicating a "Gospel message," all of them are testimonies to the continued appeal of traditional Gospel music idioms.
Gospel Music and Early Rock
The most direct predecessor to what came to be called Rock and Roll was actually a family of African American musical styles that white record store owners called, collectively, "Race Music." Black artists wrote and performed music influenced by Boogie Woogie, Blues, and a capella traditions, all of which, in turn, had Gospel roots.
In those days, most white boys who liked this music were incapable of understanding many of the rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic intricacies of "Race Music." However, that didn't keep them from borrowing the most obvious elements and speeding the songs up fast enough for their audiences to jitterbug to. Because they were white, their music found its way to radio stations that rejected black artists. And when white teenagers heard this music, their response fueled the revolution that we now call "Rock and Roll."
As one example, to modern ears, Buddy Holly sounds "lily white." But his first big radio hit "That'll Be the Day," included Gospel-style rapid 1-4-1-4 chord changes, a modified blues progression, and rhythms that convinced many white and black listeners of the time that Holly was black.
Though early white artists have been accused of profiteering on the work of black artists, their ability to break down musical boundaries eventually did give black artists access to traditionally white-only radio stations and record stores.
In an oddly symmetrical direction, Gospel artists Rosetta Tharpe and Pa Staples brought electric guitars into the world of Gospel music. Rosetta Tharpe's lead guitar playing heavily influenced Chuck Berry, and her "boogie-woogie" Gospel performances have given her the nickname "the mother of Rock and Roll." Pa Staples' family band broke other barriers between Gospel and Rock, as the Staple Singers received "top-40" recognition with songs such as "Respect Yourself" and "I'll Take You There."
Gospel and Folk
Since the early 1900s, Folk artists and music historians had been trying to preserve and promote folk music, including many traditional, but increasingly neglected early Gospel songs. A few folk artists like the Weavers had commercial success (often with songs written by African Americans). But their music didn't attract huge numbers of young people until a flood of Ricky Nelson clones made the Rock of the late 1950s less visceral (some might say insipid). Searching for something they could "get their teeth into," young music lovers found new inspiration in folk music traditions. The resulting Folk Revival sparked the success of countless acoustic-based acts such as the Kingston Trio, Peter, Paul, and Mary, Gordon Lightfoot, Ian and Sylvia, and Bob Dylan.
Even as artists like Dylan and Joan Baez steered the Folk Revival movement toward political activism, most Folk Revival artists maintained respect for traditional Gospel music. They sang songs like "All My Trials Soon Be Over" and "Michael, Row the Boat Ashore." They wrote Gospel-styled songs, like the Limelighters' "He Brought Joy, Joy, Joy Into My Heart." And they welcomed traditional Gospel artists like Mahalia Jackson and the Clara Ward Singers into their circle and into their festivals.
After the British Invasion reinvigorated Rock and Roll, Folk gave way to Folk-Rock: folk-influenced songs with drums and bass guitar. Gospel songs became less prominent, but Gospel sounds stayed strong. Examples include Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge over Troubled Waters," Cat Stevens' "Miles from Nowhere," and Carole King's "Way Over Yonder."
Interestingly enough, not only did Gospel influence Folk, Folk Revival, and Folk-Rock artists, Folk music itself became a medium for a new kind of Christian music. Starting with the 1964 song "We are One in the Spirit," folk-style music with a Christian message spread through "guitar masses," church camps, youth outreach programs, music festivals, and eventually into Evangelical Protestant churches, where it helped pave the way for early "Jesus music" and today's contemporary worship services.
Gospel and Rock from the 60's and 70's
After Rock bands retook the airwaves in the late 1960s, many artists still looked to Gospel musical styles (if not content) for inspiration. Examples include Blood Sweat and Tears' "Hi-De-Ho," Aretha Franklin's "Natural Woman," and Joe Cocker's version of "I Get By With a Little Help From my Friends."
In addition a small minority of rockers either were Christians or became Christians, including members of Kansas, Poco, and Glass Harp, and former members of a dozen first-tier groups. Admittedly, Rock tours were hard on anyone seeking to maintain his or her faith, and most rockers who claimed a Christian conversion eventually either left the road or (sadly) left the faith.
It must be admitted that for every group with more-or-less wholesome content, there was at least one group that glorified the "Highway to Hell." Like every other genre and style of music ever created, Rock has been used for immoral as well as for wholesome purposes. But that did not convince young musicians who became Christians during the Rock and Roll, Folk-Rock or Rock eras, that Rock's Gospel-inspired rhythms, harmonies, and melodies were inherently incapable of being used for good.
Gospel and "Contemporary Christian" Music
During the late 60s and early 70s, a number of young Christians with Folk-Rock and Rock experience began writing songs with Christian lyrics. Called "Jesus Music," most of the songs did not find their way to mainstream churches, and few "Jesus Musicians" found label support or commercial success. That changed in 1974, when the Second Chapter of Acts' self-named debut album broke records and barriers. For the next twenty years or so, "Contemporary Christian Music" included both relatively inoffensive pop-style artists and (usually independent) edgier groups. A few of the latter groups eventually did receive label support from "major" or "Alternative" labels.
Musically, however, "Contemporary Christian" has generally reflected trends on the "pop" music charts, albeit sometimes toned down a bit to sound "safer." After a 1990s "boom" that attracted major secular labels like Sony to the genre, there was a sort of "bust," in which the same labels cut their losses, abandoning several acts mid-contract.
Nowadays most "Contemporary Christian Music" has gone back to being recorded on "Christian" or independent labels. However, there has been a gradual reset in the Gospel music industry, to the extent that traditional Southern Gospel and African American artists are now in the minority of Christian recording artists. What used to be called "Contemporary Christian" is now in the majority, and often falls under the name Gospel, when people are discussing the industry as a whole.
As of this writing (2011) the strongest trend in current "Contemporary Christian Music" is in the increased emphasis on songs written for worship, which we'll address shortly.
Gospel and "Post-Rock" Pop
By now (2012), the Gospel-inspired elements of Rock, including the backbeat and syncopation, have infused (some might say infected) virtually every genre, including such traditional holdouts as Bluegrass, Celtic, Country, and "white" Gospel. At the same time, the name "Rock" has lost much of its meaning, since at any given time, there are thirty or so sub-genres that claim that name. Regarding those genres, my sense is that, except for the most basic musical idioms of Gospel, most of today's pop music is influenced less by Gospel than it is by earlier Rock and Pop styles. But these things come in cycles - it might just be a matter of time before visceral, Gospel-influenced styles like those of Carole King, Aretha Franklin and Joe Cocker reemerge under some new banner.
Gospel and Contemporary Worship
It's no surprise that many churches (especially churches that wanted to appeal to young people) eventually dropped the arbitrary boundaries that kept any music that sounded like it was written after 1920 out of the worship service. Over eight years ago, a Southern Baptist official responsible for suggesting worship directions for the denomination reported that almost all of the fastest-growing Baptist churches had switched to "contemporary worship" (using Folk-Rock- or Rock-influenced songs with Evangelical Christian lyrics).
So many churches have gone to a contemporary worship style that worship songs are currently (2012) the fastest-growing single segment of Christian or Gospel music being recorded. Several bands who used to make a nice living selling records and doing concert tours are now surviving on sales of worship CDs. And if anything, the demand is growing.
The challenge for many worship leaders who want to reach under-30s today is how to make the service feel contemporary without leaving the older believers behind. Finding the balance seems to require a thorough understanding of hymns, Gospel, and contemporary musical styles. As well as a thick skin.
So did God really give Rock and Roll to you? Only in the sense that He allowed the musical expressions of a people who cried out to Him from captivity to work its way throughout all the musical genres of our culture, even the most deliberately resistant.
Frankly, most of our culture's music has not glorified God, no matter what the style. But some of it has, and we should enjoy the diversity and vitality of that music with a clear conscience. Better yet, we should be able to use any musical form to enter His gates with thanksgiving and to enter His courts with praise.

U.S. slams Iran with sanctions over support for 'terrorist entities'
The Atlantas tanker, carrying 2 million barrels of Iranian crude oil for Polish Lotos reffinery is seen at the Naftoport oil terminal in Gdansk. The first transport of Iranian oil to Gdansk is the result of an agreement between the Lotus Group and the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC).Michal Fludra | NurPhoto | Getty ImagesWASHINGTON — The Trump administration on Monday announced a slew of fresh sanctions and additional measures targeting Iran's petroleum sector as Washington continues to up the ante in its maximum pressure campaign against Tehran.The Treasury Department imposed sanctions on Iran's Ministry of Petroleum, the National Iranian Oil Company and the National Iranian Tanker Company for providing financial support to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Assad regime in Syria, according to a release Monday.Treasury also designated multiple entities and individuals associated with the petroleum ministry, the oil company and the tanker company, including front companies, subsidiaries and senior executives. In addition, Treasury designated four persons involved in the recent sale of Iranian gasoline to the Maduro regime in Venezuela.According to Treasury, the cooperation and coordination of these entities to sell oil resulted in the collection of tens of millions of dollars in proceeds that benefited Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps."The regime in Iran uses the petroleum sector to fund the destabilizing activities of the IRGC-QF," said Secretary Steven Mnuchin in a statement. "The Iranian regime continues to prioritize its support for terrorist entities and its nuclear program over the needs of the Iranian people," Mnuchin added.The latest revelation comes a little over a week until Election Day and one month after the United States unilaterally reimposed U.N. sanctions on Tehran through a snapback process, which other U.N. Security Council members have previously said Washington does not have the authority to execute because it withdrew from the nuclear deal in 2018.The same week that the U.S. reimposed the U.N. sanctions the Trump administration upped the ante even more. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, flanked by Defense Secretary Mark Esper, Mnuchin and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, said the administration would sanction Iran's entire Ministry of Defense."No matter who you are, if you violate the U.N. arms embargo on Iran, you risk sanctions," Pompeo said in an address on Sept. 21. "Our actions today are a warning that should be heard worldwide," he added.Esper followed on Pompeo's remarks and said the Pentagon was "ready to respond to future Iranian aggression" and called on Tehran to "act like a normal country.""We continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with our allies and partners to counter Iran's destabilizing behavior. In doing so, we will protect our people and our interests and maintain the security of like-minded nations across the region," Esper added.Tensions between Washington and Tehran have mounted after President Donald Trump's withdrawal from the landmark Iran nuclear agreement in 2018, calling it "the worst deal ever."The 2015 accord lifted sanctions on Iran that crippled its economy and cut its oil exports roughly in half. In exchange for sanctions relief, Iran accepted limits on its nuclear program until the terms expire in 2025.Trump has previously said that the U.S. wants to reach a broader deal with Iran that puts stricter limits on its nuclear and ballistic missile work and suppresses the regime's role in regional proxy wars. Tehran has refused to negotiate while U.S. sanctions remain in place.

When the concept of dental implants and the mechanisms in which they work were introduced to mainstream dentistry during the late 1970's, the advent of dental implants opened up an excitingly new chapter in dentistry.
Through the 1980's, the news of the successful procedure of dental implant surgery spread at an explosive rate. It took approximately ten years of repeated long-term success for the procedure to gain validity.
By the early 1990's dentists readily accepted implant dentistry as an adequate and routine substitute for missing teeth in all areas of the mouth.
Restoring dental implants has undergone a paradigm shift from simply validating that dental implants work to recreating missing teeth with a chameleon-like effect. Even though implants can be restored with a very high degree of success, one of the most difficult and critical areas in the mouth to achieve great esthetic results is in the upper front jaw -- specifically when replacing a single upper central incisor tooth.
Single-tooth implant dentistry present dentists with unique challenges. When a single central incisor tooth is removed due to periodontal disease, tooth decay, trauma, or nerve failure, the body responds by shrinking the bone and gum tissue in place of the missing tooth. The body no longer needs the supporting bone structure; therefore, the bone is decreased and the gum tissue shrinks because of bone resorption.
In order to achieve a natural appearance to the final restoration, restorative dentists must attempt to replace what nature he as taken away. An unnatural appearance will be the result if the tooth is replaced without considering augmenting or "plumping up" the support structures. It would be like placing a great painting in the wrong frame, thus having a diminished outcome.
Certain steps are necessary to achieve a successful outcome, especially in the most demanding implant cases, like replacing a single upper front tooth. Before the decision to place an implant is made, patients should know the sequential steps.
The process starts with a thorough exam. Clinically, dentists should examine the affected area and the entire mouth. A comprehensive exam of the bone and soft tissues must be performed along with taking specific X-rays and possibly detailed bone scans to identify any potential complications.
An analysis of your smile should also be performed. Do your teeth and gums show when you smile? Does your upper lip drape over your teeth? If the patient has a high lip line that shows teeth and gums, the need for bone and soft tissue grafting may be necessary.
By discussing several of the aspects necessary for implant treatment, you can be more aware of the possibilities, as well as the limitations, associated with implant dentistry. Armed with various soft and hard tissue grafting techniques, ceramic material advancements, and better dental implant components, dentists are able to satisfy even the most esthetically-minded patients.
By Benjamin O. Watkins, III, DDS
You're missing a single tooth. Until recently your only options were limited: a fixed bridge or a removable partial denture -- which meant removing enamel from adjoining teeth. It was a very short list.
Thanks to modern dentistry techniques, single tooth implants are now a good alternative. Although most patients use tooth implants to replace an ill-fitting denture, or to bridge a large gap of several missing teeth, it's now possible for you to have a single tooth replacement.
You're a good candidate for single tooth implants if you are in good health and the jawbone where the tooth implant will be fitted has not receded. You have to be of age, since your facial growth must be complete.
There are many advantages to this procedure. Single tooth implants are strong. Unlike dentures, they require less care. And the implants look and feel natural. So instead of being embarrassed by a missing tooth, you'll have something to smile about.
