To ensure that products have a long lifespan and low maintenance costs, wide temperature technology has become a bedrock feature of many devices.
Wide temperature technology allows devices to deliver stable, reliable performance under extreme temperatures. SSDs and flash products that have passed wide temperature testing can operate in temperatures ranging from -40℃ to 85℃ and DDR4 memory modules can operate in temperatures ranging from -40℃ to 95℃. Transcend's products for embedded solutions are fully tested to run efficiently in this temperature range.
The testing is conducted in an exclusively-designed chamber. Inside this chamber, flash and DRAM modules undergo swift and extreme temperature change for a certain period of time. The endurance status of each item will be indicated by signals, and further inspection is carried out for unqualified items.
Transcend strictly follows JESD218A standard published by JEDEC to comply with the endurance requirements of different drive class. To meet SSD endurance and reliability ratings, the drives are tested for several criteria for defined workloads and use temperatures. JEDEC evaluates reliability by calculating the Unrecoverable Bit Error Per Ratio (UBER)1 and measures endurance by calculating the Functional Failure Requirement (FFR)2. Both of these variables are figures that quantify the failures, or errors, occurred in a specific operating environment.
Transcend employs real-world client-class workload and use temperatures to verify the endurance and data retention capabilities of its drives. By referring to the tested figures, enterprise users, in manufacturing, Internet of Vehicle, system automation, military, and healthcare, can understand at a glance how long their data can be expected to be retained when storage devices are operated under certain conditions. Extended lifespan and optimized performance are guaranteed for memory products incorporated with wide temperature technology. With this solution, sturdy devices are expected to boost business growth and sustainability.

Luke 1:31 records the angel telling Mary, "you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus." Mary's question in reply shows mystification or surprise; it's clear she understands this is impossible in normal terms.
Yet when I read the statement, I don't see a need to assume anything will happen immediately or that there will be a "virgin birth". I think it would be natural to conclude she'll bear a child, our Messiah, in the course of marriage.
Why did Mary understand the significance?

Almaty, Kazakhstan, rocked by earthquake
An earthquake struck Almaty, the largest city in Kazakhstan, on Monday, prompting panic among residents who fled outdoors as sirens blared, according to a report by Reuters. The tremor, with a magnitude estimated at about 5 by Kazakhstan's emergencies ministry, reverberated through the city, causing buildings to shake and sending dozens of people scrambling for safety. Residents described scenes of chaos and confusion as the ground trembled beneath them, with some rushing out of their homes and into the streets in fear of aftershocks.
Emergency services swiftly sprang into action, responding to calls for assistance and assessing the extent of the damage caused by the earthquake. The impact of the quake was not limited to Almaty alone, as tremors were also felt in Bishkek, the capital city of neighboring Kyrgyzstan, adding to the region's unease. Authorities in both countries worked to reassure citizens and coordinate response efforts amid the seismic activity. In Almaty, residents shared accounts of their experiences on social media, with many expressing relief that the quake had not caused more significant destruction.
However, the event served as a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of earthquakes and the importance of preparedness in the face of such disasters. Officials urged residents to remain vigilant and follow safety protocols to mitigate the risks posed by potential aftershocks. The earthquake also reignited discussions about infrastructure resilience and seismic safety measures in urban areas prone to such natural phenomena. While the immediate aftermath of the quake saw no reports of casualties or major damage, authorities remained vigilant, monitoring the situation closely.
Residents were advised to stay informed through official channels and refrain from spreading unverified information that could cause unnecessary panic. As life slowly returned to normal in Almaty and Bishkek, the earthquake served as a sobering reminder of the fragility of human existence in the face of nature's power. Despite the disruption caused by the tremor, communities rallied together, demonstrating resilience and solidarity in the face of adversity.

So I'm trying to do something a bit different. Since I don't do commissions I thought maybe I'll do a sketch or 2 once a week. And maybe I'll hit a few who want commissions. This why I feel feel pressured to do something quickly and I can draw what I want.
So on Saturday I'll post the sketch and the first person who emails me about buying it gets it. Prices will range from $100 to $300 depending on the time.
Any questions? You can leave suggestions but I may or may not use them:)

Sports and Visual Skills
When we think of athletes, we probably think of speed and strength first, but what about vision?
Strong visual skills are just as important to an athlete's success as strong muscles. Athletes have to be able to process visual information very quickly so that they can respond to it. The cool thing is that, like muscles, some visual skills can be improved with practice.
What Visual Skills do Athletes Use?
Here are some of the most essential visual skills that help athletes perform at the top of their game:
- Color vision. It's a lot easier to recognize the difference between teammate and opponent when you can see the different jersey colors!
- Depth perception. Athletes need to be able to judge the distances of objects and other players.
- Dynamic visual acuity. Beyond just having clear vision, athletes need to be able to see fast-moving objects clearly too.
- Eye tracking. Athletes also need to be able to track fast-moving objects with their eyes instead of jeopardizing their balance by turning their heads or torsos.
- Eye-hand-body coordination. Being able to adjust the position of your body, hands, and feet based on what you see is essential for succeeding in sports.
- Peripheral vision. Athletes need to be able to react to what's happening at the edges of their vision, not just the things happening straight ahead.
- Visual concentration. An athlete needs to be able to focus on what matters even when there are a lot of distractions trying to draw their eyes.
- Visual reaction time. The faster an athlete can process and respond to visual information, the faster they can get into position.
- Visualization. Athletes need to be able to picture different scenarios to prepare themselves for potential obstacles and opportunities — all while focusing on the events of the moment.
- Visual memory. An athlete must keep a great deal of visual information in their heads while playing, including the positions of other players based on where they saw them last.
You Can Train Your Visual Skills on the Go
You won't need a gym to train several of these visual skills. A simple exercise for depth perception, for example, is to hold a pen at arm's length and repeatedly put the cap on it. You could also hold a small pebble at arm's length and try dropping it into a drinking straw.
A great way to train peripheral awareness is by turning our heads to the side while we use a computer or watch TV. We can improve the flexibility of our eyes by switching rapidly between focusing on something close and something far away. To practice dynamic visual acuity, try cutting out different sized letters from a magazine and taping them to a turntable. Then see how well you can identify the letters when it spins at different speeds.
Keep Your Eye on the Ball, Athletes!
Keeping our eyes sharp (and healthy) is something we might overlook (no pun intended) when thinking about staying in shape for sports. If you want to learn more about how you can improve your visual skills or if you're experiencing any changes in your eyesight, get in touch with us!

« Prev | The First Theological Oration. A Preliminary… | Next » |
Oration XXVII.
The First Theological Oration.
A Preliminary Discourse Against the Eunomians.
I. I am to speak against persons who pride themselves on their eloquence; so, to begin with a text of Scripture, "Behold, I am against thee, O thou proud one,"33823382 Jer. l. 31. not only in 285thy system of teaching, but also in thy hearing, and in thy tone of mind. For there are certain persons who have not only their ears33833383 2 Tim. iv. 3. and their tongues, but even, as I now perceive, their hands too, itching for our words; who delight in profane babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called,33843384 Ib. ii. 16. and strifes about words, which tend to no profit; for so Paul, the Preacher and Establisher of the "Word cut short,"33853385 Rom. ix. 28. the disciple and teacher of the Fishermen,33863386 S. Paul is called a disciple of the fishermen, as having been in some sense their follower (though in fact he was never a literal disciple of any of them); and their teacher as having taught such Successors of the Apostles as SS. Timothy and Titus. calls all that is excessive or superfluous in discourse. But as to those to whom we refer, would that they, whose tongue is so voluble and clever in applying itself to noble and approved language, would likewise pay some attention to actions. For then perhaps in a little while they would become less sophistical, and less absurd and strange acrobats of words, if I may use a ridiculous expression about a ridiculous subject.
II. But since they neglect every path of righteousness, and look only to this one point, namely, which of the propositions submitted to them they shall bind or loose, (like those persons who in the theatres perform wrestling matches in public, but not that kind of wrestling in which the victory is won according to the rules of the sport, but a kind to deceive the eyes of those who are ignorant in such matters, and to catch applause), and every marketplace must buzz with their talking; and every dinner party be worried to death with silly talk and boredom; and every festival be made unfestive and full of dejection, and every occasion of mourning be consoled by a greater calamity33873387 i.e. be thrown into the shade by something more serious which caused them by comparison to be scarcely felt any longer.—their questions—and all the women's apartments accustomed to simplicity be thrown into confusion and be robbed of its flower of modesty by the torrent of their words…since, I say this is so, the evil is intolerable and not to be borne, and our Great Mystery is in danger of being made a thing of little moment. Well then, let these spies33883388 κατάσκοποι quasi ψευδεπίσκοποι. bear with us, moved as we are with fatherly compassion, and as holy Jeremiah says, torn in our hearts;33893389 Jer. iv. 19. let them bear with us so far as not to give a savage reception to our discourse upon this subject; and let them, if indeed they can, restrain their tongues for a short while and lend us their ears. However that may be, you shall at any rate suffer no loss. For either we shall have spoken in the ears of them that will hear,33903390 Ecclus. xxv. 9. and our words will bear some fruit, namely an advantage to you (since the Sower soweth the Word33913391 S. Mark iv. 3 and 14. "He that soweth the Word soweth upon," etc. So Billius and the Benedictines, but the rendering in the text seems preferable. upon every kind of mind; and the good and fertile bears fruit), or else you will depart despising this discourse of ours as you have despised others, and having drawn from it further material for gainsaying and railing at us, upon which to feast yourselves yet more.
And you must not be astonished if I speak a language which is strange to you and contrary to your custom, who profess to know everything and to teach everything in a too impetuous and generous manner…not to pain you by saying ignorant and rash.
III. Not to every one, my friends, does it belong to philosophize about God; not to every one; the Subject is not so cheap and low; and I will add, not before every audience, nor at all times, nor on all points; but on certain occasions, and before certain persons, and within certain limits.
Not to all men, because it is permitted only to those who have been examined, and are passed masters in meditation, and who have been previously purified in soul and body, or at the very least are being purified. For the impure to touch the pure is, we may safely say, not safe, just as it is unsafe to fix weak eyes upon the sun's rays. And what is the permitted occasion? It is when we are free from all external defilement or disturbance, and when that which rules within us is not confused with vexatious or erring images; like persons mixing up good writing with bad, or filth with the sweet odours of unguents. For it is necessary to be truly at leisure to know God; and when we can get a convenient season, to discern the straight road of the things divine. And who are the permitted persons? They to whom the subject is of real concern, and not they who make it a matter of pleasant gossip, like any other thing, after the races, or the theatre, or a concert, or a dinner, or still lower employments. To such men as these, idle jests and pretty contradictions about these subjects are a part of their amusement.
IV. Next, on what subjects and to what extent may we philosophize? On matters within our reach, and to such an extent as the mental power and grasp of our audience may extend. No further, lest, as excessively loud sounds injure the hearing, or excess of food the body, or, if you will, as excessive burdens beyond 286the strength injure those who bear them, or excessive rains the earth; so these too, being pressed down and overweighted by the stiffness, if I may use the expression, of the arguments should suffer loss even in respect of the strength they originally possessed.33923392 i.e. Should not only fail to be strengthened thereby, but be actually weakened, through their inability to understand the argument. A bad defence weakens a good cause.
V. Now, I am not saying that it is not needful to remember God at all times;…I must not be misunderstood, or I shall be having these nimble and quick people down upon me again. For we ought to think of God even more often than we draw our breath; and if the expression is permissible, we ought to do nothing else. Yea, I am one of those who entirely approve that Word which bids us meditate day and night,33933393 Ps. i. 2. and tell at eventide and morning and noon day,33943394 Ps. lv. 17. and praise the Lord at every time;33953395 Ps. xxxiv. 1. or, to use Moses' words, whether a man lie down, or rise up, or walk by the way, or whatever else he be doing33963396 Deut. vi. 7.—and by this recollection we are to be moulded to purity. So that it is not the continual remembrance of God that I would hinder, but only the talking about God; nor even that as in itself wrong, but only when unseasonable; nor all teaching, but only want of moderation. As of even honey repletion and satiety, though it be of honey, produce vomiting;33973397 Prov. xxv. 16. and, as Solomon says and I think, there is a time for every thing,33983398 Eccles. iii. 1. and that which is good ceases to be good if it be not done in a good way; just as a flower is quite out of season in winter, and just as a man's dress does not become a woman, nor a woman's a man; and as geometry is out of place in mourning, or tears at a carousal; shall we in this instance alone disregard the proper time, in a matter in which most of all due season should be respected? Surely not, my friends and brethren (for I will still call you Brethren, though you do not behave like brothers). Let us not think so nor yet, like hot tempered and hard mouthed horses, throwing off our rider Reason, and casting away Reverence, that keeps us within due limits, run far away from the turning point,33993399 The course of the chariot races in the Greek Games was round the Hippodrome a certain number of times. To facilitate this arrangement, a party wall was built down the middle, and at either end of it certain posts were set up called νύσσαι, or in Latin Metæ, round which the cars were to turn. The object of the charioteers was to turn round these as close as possible, to save distance; and to do this well it was necessary to have the horses under perfect control, as well as perfectly trained, to make the semicircle at full gallop almost on the axis of the car. The horses that got out of hand and galloped wildly round a large circle would almost certainly lose distance enough to lose the race, while the driver would be laughed at for his unskilfulness. but let us philosophize within our proper bounds, and not be carried away into Egypt, nor be swept down into Assyria34003400 Dan. iii. 12., nor sing the Lord's song in a strange land, by which I mean before any kind of audience, strangers or kindred, hostile or friendly, kindly or the reverse, who watch what we do with over great care, and would like the spark of what is wrong in us to become a flame, and secretly kindle and fan it and raise it to heaven with their breath and make it higher than the Babylonian flame which burnt up every thing around it. For since their strength lies not in their own dogmas, they hunt for it in our weak points. And therefore they apply themselves to our—shall I say "misfortunes" or "failings"?—like flies to wounds. But let us at least be no longer ignorant of ourselves, or pay too little attention to the due order in these matters. And if it be impossible to put an end to the existing hostility, let us at least agree upon this, that we will utter Mysteries under our breath, and holy things in a holy manner, and we will not cast to ears profane that which may not be uttered, nor give evidence that we possess less gravity than those who worship demons, and serve shameful fables and deeds; for they would sooner give their blood to the uninitiated than certain words. But let us recognize that as in dress and diet and laughter and demeanour there is a certain decorum, so there is also in speech and silence; since among so many titles and powers of God, we pay the highest honour to The Word. Let even our disputings then be kept within bounds.
VI. Why should a man who is a hostile listener to such words be allowed to hear about the Generation of God, or his creation, or how God was made out of things which had no existence, or of section and analysis and division?34013401 The allusion is to the Arian and Eunomian habit of gossiping about the most sacred subjects in every sort of place or company or time, in order to promote their heresy. Why do we make our accusers judges? Why do we put swords into the hands of our enemies? How, thinkest thou, or with what temper, will the arguments about such subjects be received by one who approves of adulteries, and corruption of children, and who worships the passions and cannot conceive of aught higher than the body…who till very lately set up gods for himself, and gods too who were noted for the vilest deeds? Will it not first be from a material standpoint, shamefully and ignorantly, and in the sense to which he has been accustomed? Will he not make thy Theology a defence for his own gods and pas287sions? For if we ourselves wantonly misuse these words,34023402 Such expressions as Generation and the like would certainly be understood in a material sense by the heathen; and so would place an unnecessary stumbling-block in the way of their conversion. it will be a long time before we shall persuade them to accept our philosophy. And if they are in their own persons inventors of evil things, how should they refrain from grasping at such things when offered to them? Such results come to us from mutual contest. Such results follow to those who fight for the Word beyond what the Word approves; they are behaving like mad people, who set their own house on fire, or tear their own children, or disavow their own parents, taking them for strangers.
VII. But when we have put away from the conversation those who are strangers to it, and sent the great legion34033403 Luke viii. 31. on its way to the abyss into the herd of swine, the next thing is to look to ourselves, and polish our theological self to beauty like a statue. The first point to be considered is—What is this great rivalry of speech and endless talking? What is this new disease of insatiability? Why have we tied our hands and armed our tongues? We do not praise either hospitality, or brotherly love, or conjugal affection, or virginity; nor do we admire liberality to the poor, or the chanting of Psalms, or nightlong vigils,34043404 S. John Chrysostom, consecrated Archbishop of Constantinople in 397, incurred much unpopularity among his clergy by insisting on the revival of the Night Hours of prayer. or tears. We do not keep under the body by fasting, or go forth to God by prayer; nor do we subject the worse to the better—I mean the dust to the spirit—as they would do who form a just judgment of our composite nature; we do not make our life a preparation for death; nor do we make ourselves masters of our passions, mindful of our heavenly nobility; nor tame our anger when it swells and rages, nor our pride that bringeth to a fall, nor unreasonable grief, nor unchastened pleasure, nor meretricious laughter, nor undisciplined eyes, nor insatiable ears, nor excessive talk, nor absurd thoughts, nor aught of the occasions which the Evil One gets against us from sources within ourselves; bringing upon us the death that comes through the windows,34053405 Jer. ix. 21. as Holy Scripture saith; that is, through the senses. Nay we do the very opposite, and have given liberty to the passions of others, as kings give releases from service in honour of a victory, only on condition that they incline to our side, and make their assault upon God more boldly, or more impiously. And we give them an evil reward for a thing which is not good, license of tongue for their impiety.
VIII. And yet, O talkative Dialectician, I will ask thee one small question,34063406 Job xxxviii. 3. and answer thou me, as He saith to Job, Who through whirlwind and cloud giveth Divine admonitions.34073407 Job xxxviii. 1. Are there many mansions in God's House, as thou hast heard, or only one? Of course you will admit that there are many, and not only one. Now, are they all to be filled, or only some, and others not; so that some will be left empty, and will have been prepared to no purpose? Of course all will be filled, for nothing can be in vain which has been done by God. And can you tell me what you will consider this Mansion to be? Is it the rest and glory which is in store There for the Blessed, or something else?—No, not anything else. Since then we are agreed upon this point, let us further examine another also. Is there any thing that procures these Mansions, as I think there is; or is there nothing?—Certainly there is—What is it? Is it not that there are various modes of conduct, and various purposes, one leading one way, another another way, according to the proportion of faith, and these we call Ways? Must we, then, travel all, or some of these Ways…the same individual along them all, if that be possible; or, if not, along as many as may be; or else along some of them? And even if this may not be, it would still be a great thing, at least as it appears to me, to travel excellently along even one.—"You are right in your conception."—What then when you hear there is but One way, and that a narrow one,34083408 Matt. vii. 14. does the word seem to you to shew? That there is but one on account of its excellence. For it is but one, even though it be split into many parts. And narrow because of its difficulties, and because it is trodden by few in comparison with the multitude of the adversaries, and of those who travel along the road of wickedness. "So I think too." Well, then, my good friend, since this is so, why do you, as though condemning our doctrine for a certain poverty, rush headlong down that one which leads through what you call arguments and speculations, but I frivolities and quackeries? Let Paul reprove you with those bitter reproaches, in which, after his list of the Gifts of Grace, he says, Are all Apostles? Are all Prophets? etc.34093409 1 Cor. xii. 29.
IX. But, be it so. Lofty thou art, even beyond the lofty, even above the clouds, if thou wilt, a spectator of things invisible, a hearer 288of things unspeakable; one who hast ascended after Elias, and who after Moses hast been deemed worthy of the Vision of God, and after Paul hast been taken up into heaven; why dost thou mould the rest of thy fellows in one day into Saints, and ordain them Theologians, and as it were breathe into them instruction, and make them many councils of ignorant oracles? Why dost thou entangle those who are weaker in thy spider's web, if it were something great and wise? Why dost thou stir up wasps' nests against the Faith? Why dost thou suddenly spring a flood of dialectics upon us, as the fables of old did the Giants? Why hast thou collected all that is frivolous and unmanly among men, like a rabble, into one torrent, and having made them more effeminate by flattery, fashioned a new workshop, cleverly making a harvest for thyself out of their want of understanding? Dost thou deny that this is so, and are the other matters of no account to thee? Must thy tongue rule at any cost, and canst thou not restrain the birthpang of thy speech? Thou mayest find many other honourable subjects for discussion. To these turn this disease of thine with some advantage. Attack the silence of Pythagoras,34103410 The disciples of Pythagoras were made to keep silence absolutely for five years as a qualification for initiation into the mysteries of his order. Further, they were bidden to abstain from eating beans, as these were said to be one receptacle of human souls in the course of their peregrinations; and when asked for proof of their peculiar doctrines, contented themselves with the reply, "αὐτὸς ἔθα" "the master said so." and the Orphic beans, and the novel brag about "The Master said." Attack the ideas of Plato,34113411 Plato taught that all things that exist are copies of certain objective archetypal Forms, emanations from the Mind of God, which God copied in creation. He also taught a doctrine of transmigration of souls. and the transmigrations and courses of our souls, and the reminiscences, and the unlovely loves of the soul for lovely bodies. Attack the atheism of Epicurus,34123412 Epicurus, an Athenian philosopher, of a materialistic type, taught that God had no existence, and that the world was made by a fortuitous concourse of innumerable atoms of matter, which are self-existent; and he placed the highest good in pleasure, which he defined as the absence of pain. and his atoms, and his unphilosophic pleasure; or Aristotle's petty Providence, and his artificial system, and his discourses about the mortality of the soul, and the humanitarianism of his doctrine. Attack the superciliousness of the Stoa,34133413 The Stoa, a school of philosophers opposed to the Epicureans, took their name from a certain Colonnade at Athens, in which Zeno, their founder, used to teach. Their highest good consisted in the complete subdual of all feeling; and so they were not unnaturally characterized by a haughty affectation of indifference. or the greed and vulgarity of the Cynic.34143414 The Cynics, so called from their snarling way, were a school founded by Antisthenes. They professed to despise everything human. Attack the "Void and Full" (what nonsense), and all the details about the gods and the sacrifices and the idols and demons, whether beneficent or malignant, and all the tricks that people play with divination, evoking of gods, or of souls, and the power of the stars. And if these things seem to thee unworthy of discussion as petty and already often confuted, and thou wilt keep to thy line, and seek the satisfaction of thy ambition in it; then here too I will provide thee with broad paths. Philosophize about the world or worlds; about matter; about soul; about natures endowed with reason, good or bad; about resurrection, about judgment, about reward, or the Sufferings of Christ. For in these subjects to hit the mark is not useless, and to miss it is not dangerous. But with God we shall have converse, in this life only in a small degree; but a little later, it may be, more perfectly, in the Same, our Lord Jesus Christ, to Whom be glory for ever. Amen.

A Navy fighter jet crashed into an apartment complex in Virginia Beach on Friday afternoon. Television images showed thick, black smoke billowing near a row of apartment buildings.
Update at 8:24 a.m. ET April 7. No Fatalities, Officials Confirm
Fire officials say they have accounted for everyone who lived at an apartment complex in Virginia where a Navy fighter jet crashed on Friday.
As crews searched the complex into the night, three people had been unaccounted for. On Saturday morning, Virginia Beach Fire Department battalion chief Capt. Tim Riley told the AP that all residents had been located.
While authorities are no longer searching for people, Riley noted that could change — if they receive information that individuals other than residents were in the complex, for example.
Update at 5:27 p.m. ET. 'Catastrophic Failure:'
Authorities just gave a news conference in Virginia Beach. Among the highlights:
-- Navy Capt. Mark Weisgerber said the pilot was a student but he was accompanied by an instructor who was sitting behind him.
-- Weisgerber described the accident as a "catastrophic" mechanical failure. He said he did not know how many times the student had flown the plane.
-- Virginia Beach Mayor Will Sessions said so far they have been very lucky, because no casualties have been reported. The fire chief, however, said there were still people they were trying to track down.
-- Weisgerber said it's not clear whether the fuel dump was intentional or part of the the malfunction.
Update at 3:21 p.m. ET. Six Injured:
Reuters reports that while no deaths have been reported, six people have been taken to a hospital. Reuters adds:
"Both crew members ejected. One of them was in good condition and the other was in fair condition, said Emma Inman, a spokeswoman for the Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital.
"Among other people hurt was a firefighter. Injuries included smoke inhalation, she said."
Update at 3:05 p.m. ET. Dumping Fuel:
Quoting Bruce Nedelka, the division chief for the Virginia Beach EMS, the AP reports that the fighter jet seemed to dump its fuel before it crashed. Nedelka said fuel was found covering nearby buildings and cars.
"By doing so, he mitigated what could have been an absolute massive, massive fireball and fire," Nedelka told the AP. "With all of that jet fuel dumped, it was much less than what it could have been."
Update at 2:26 p.m. ET. Three Transported To A Hospital:
So far, no casualties have been reported in this crash. Bruce Nedelka, the division chief for the Virginia Beach EMS, tells CNN that three people — one of them the pilot — have been taken to a local hospital. Nedelka said he had no indication that the injuries suffered were life threatening.
Update at 2:22 p.m. ET. Aerial Footage:
From Reuters, here's some aerial footage of the wreckage:
Update at 2:07 p.m. ET. The Walls Shook:
The Army Times spoke to former Navy SEAL Patrick McAleenan, who was about a block away when the plane crashed. He said his walls shook when the impact happened. The Times reports:
"He said the pilots ejected at the last possible second in an apparent effort to make sure that the plane would not crash into a nearby school.
"McAleenan said that the aviators appeared to be safe, considering the circumstances.
"'One of them, literally, his parachute hung on a balcony. The people on the ground were dragging him to safety,' he said."
The paper reports that there have been at least two F-18 accidents this year.
Update at 1:59 p.m. ET. Training Squadron:
The Navy has issued a statement on the crash. For the record, the jet in question is an F/A-18D assigned to the Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 106. The jet crashed shortly after takeoff.
The Navy confirms that "both aircrew safely ejected from the aircraft." They add:
"VFA-106 is based at Naval Air Station Oceana, and serves as the East Coast Fleet Replacement Squadron. Their mission is to train Navy and Marine Corps F/A-18 Replacement Pilots and Weapon Systems Officers (WSOs) to support fleet commitments."
Update at 1:52 p.m. ET. Video From The Scene:
Russia Today has put up this video of the aftermath of the crash:
Update at 1:43 p.m. ET. Five Buildings Badly Damaged:
Battalion Chief Tim Riley tells CNN that five buildings have been "badly damaged."
Also, in a statement, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell said he is in contact with the Virginia Beach mayor and that he's providing "provide immediate resources and assistance"
Update at 1:29 p.m. ET. At Least Three Buildings On Fire:
Aerial footage from WAVE, shows at least three buildings that sustained major damage. One of the buildings seems to be missing walls and two others have lost their roofs. The images show at least two large firetrucks dousing water on the charred remains.
Update at 1:22 p.m. ET. Navy Investigating Cause:
NPR's Tom Bowman tells us the Navy is investigating the cause of the crash. The jet — a F-18D Hornet — was out of the Naval Air Station, Oceana, near Norfolk, Va.
Update at 1:15 p.m. ET. Jet Crashed At Apartment Complex:
CNN is reporting that the plane crashed into an apartment complex. The Virginian Pilot confirms that, saying:
"EMS Division Chief Bruce Nedelka said that the plane crashed at the Mayfair Apartment complex. Two buildings were on fire and crews were searching for casualties on the ground."
Update at 1:10 p.m. ET. More On The Jet:
WAVY has a bit more on the jet from from Cmdr. Phil Rosi, who said the jet was from the Strike Fighter Squadron 106. One of the pilots is in the hospital, Rosi said.
Original post at 1:02 p.m. ET. Navy Fighter Jet Crashes
A Navy fighter jet crashed into an apartment complex in Virginia Beach this afternoon. Television images showed thick, black smoke billowing near a row of apartment buildings.
WAVY-TV, the NBC affiliate in the area, reports that Virginia Beach Police said the military aircraft went down at around 12:30 p.m. ET.
The Virginian Pilot reports the Navy confirmed the crash and said the two crew members are believed to have ejected safely.
There are still no reports of casualties because of the crash.

On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

The 13th day of the year; there are 13 Archimedian Solids. (different from the Platonic solids, which have only one type of polygon meeting in identical vertices)
If you wrote $ \pi$, e, and $\phi $ one under another, the first digit they are all alike is the 13th digit, a nine in each number.
The 13th palindromic prime is 373 and has a digit sum of 13. 13 is smallest n for which digit sum of nth palindromic prime =n.

1404, English alchemists were forbidden to use their knowledge to create precious metals. Since the time of Roger Bacon, it had fascinated the imagination of many ardent men in England. During the reign of Henry IV, the Act of Multipliers was passed by the Parliament, declaring the use of transmutation to "multiply" gold and silver to be felony. Great alarm was felt at that time lest any alchymist should succeed in his projects, and perhaps bring ruin upon the state, by furnishing boundless wealth to some designing tyrant, who would make use of it to enslave his country. In 1689, Robert Boyle lobbied for repeal of the Act.*TIS
1610 Galileo discovers a fourth moon (Callisto) of Jupiter. Galileo initially named his discovery the Cosmica Sidera ("Cosimo's stars"), but names that eventually prevailed were chosen by Simon Marius. Marius discovered the moons independently at the same time as Galileo, and gave them their present names, which were suggested by Johannes Kepler, in his Mundus Jovialis, published in 1614.*Wik
1659 Hendrik van Heuraet sends van Schooten his rectification of the semi-cubical parabola. This was published—his only publication—in the second Latin edition of Descartes's Geometrie.

1863 Mind the Gap.... The London underground railway, the oldest subway system in the world opened. The first railway was from Paddington to Farringdon. *Wik Harry Beck, A draftsman who worked for the London Underground, was the person who transformed the old geographically based maps into a topological map (1933). He ignored geography and instead focused on the connections between stations. He magnified the central regions and brought in the far away ones. He laid the lines out to run either vertically, horizontally or at 45 degree angles. He stretched and squeezed London's geographical map to make the Underground network look good. And he also introduced the color-coding and the little circles that mark intersections of lines. *plus.maths.org

1845 François-Félix Tisserand (13 Jan 1845; 20 Oct 1896) was a French astronomer whose 4-volume textbook Traité de mécanique céleste (1889-96; "Treatise on Celestial Mechanics") updated Pierre-Simon Laplace's work. At age 28, he was named Director at Toulouse Observatory (1873-78). He went to Japan to observe the 1874 transit of Venus. The 83-cm telescope he installed at the Toulouse Observatory in 1875 had a wooden base insufficiently stable for photographic work, but he was able to use it for observation of the satellites of Jupiter and of Saturn. From 1892 until his death he was director of the Paris Observatory, where he completed the major work, Catalogue photographique de la carte du ciel, and arranged for its publication. *TIS
1864 Wilhelm Wien (13 Jan 1864; 30 Aug 1928) German physicist who received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1911 for his displacement law concerning the radiation emitted by the perfectly efficient blackbody (a surface that absorbs all radiant energy falling on it). While studying streams of ionized gas Wien, in 1898, identified a positive particle equal in mass to the hydrogen atom. Wien, with this work, laid the foundation of mass spectroscopy. J. J. Thomson refined Wien's apparatus and conducted further experiments in 1913 then, after work by Ernest Rutherford in 1919, Wien's particle was accepted and named the proton. Wien also made important contributions to the study of cathode rays, X-rays and canal rays.*TIS
1876 Erhard Schmidt (13 January 1876 – 6 December 1959) was a German mathematician whose work significantly influenced the direction of mathematics in the twentieth century. He was born in Tartu, Governorate of Livonia (now Estonia). His advisor was David Hilbert and he was awarded his doctorate from Georg-August University of Göttingen in 1905. His doctoral dissertation was entitled Entwickelung willkürlicher Funktionen nach Systemen vorgeschriebener and was a work on integral equations.
Together with David Hilbert he made important contributions to functional analysis. He is best known for the Gram-Schmidt orthogonalisation process, which constructs an orthogonal base from any vector space. *Wik
1876 Luther Pfahler Eisenhart (13 January 1876 – 28 October 1965) was an American mathematician, best known today for his contributions to semi-Riemannian geometry.
Eisenhart played a central role in American mathematics in the early twentieth century. He served as chairman of the mathematics department at Princeton University and later as Dean of the Graduate School there. He is widely credited with guiding the development in America of the mathematical background needed for the further development of general relativity, through his influential textbooks and his personal interaction with Albert Einstein, Oswald Veblen, and John von Neumann at the nearby Institute for Advanced Study, as well as with gifted students such as Abraham Haskel Taub. *Wik
1900 Gertrude Mary Cox (January 13, 1900 – October 17, 1978) was an influential American statistician and founder of the department of Experimental Statistics at North Carolina State University. She was later appointed director of both the Institute of Statistics of the Consolidated University of North Carolina and the Statistics Research Division of North Carolina State University. Her most important and influential research dealt with experimental design; she wrote an important book on the subject with W. G. Cochran. In 1949 Cox became the first female elected into the International Statistical Institute and in 1956 she was president of the American Statistical Association.*Wik The choice of a woman to hold such a post was unusual at that time and came about in a curious way. G W Forster of North Carolina State College contacted Professor Snedecor for names of individuals who would be viable candidates for the position. Professor Snedecor prepared a list of persons (all males) and before mailing it to Dr Forster showed the list to Miss Cox. Her immediate reaction was, "Why didn't you put my name on the list?" Her name was then added in a footnote to the letter, "Of course if you would consider a woman for this position I would recommend Gertrude Cox of my staff." The choice of a woman on the basis of a footnote was an administrative decision which had far-reaching effects. *SAU
1902 Karl Menger (Vienna, Austria, January 13, 1902 – Highland Park, Illinois, U.S.A., October 5, 1985) was a mathematician. He was the son of the famous economist Carl Menger. He is credited with Menger's theorem. He worked on mathematics of algebras, algebra of geometries, curve and dimension theory, etc. Moreover, he contributed to game theory and social sciences. He is remembered for the creation of the Menger Sponge*Wik
1907 Harold Maile Bacon (Jan. 13, 1907- August 22, 1992) was an elder statesmen of the Stanford faculty who taught calculus to generations of Stanford undergraduates during a career that spanned more than four decades.
Bacon was widely recognized on campus as the owner of the white colonial-style Row house with the rose-lined driveway. He had ties to the house, and the University, almost since his birth.
He was an ill 6-month-old child when he first visited the campus house he would occupy for more than 60 years. Harriet Dunn, a cousin of Harold Bacon's father, Robert, and owner of the distinctive house, suggested that the child be brought to Stanford from Southern California for examination by Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, who lived nearby on the site now occupied by Dinkelspiel Auditorium. (Wilbur, who prescribed medicine and a better diet for young Bacon, later became the university's third president.)
In the 1920s, Harold Bacon enrolled at Stanford, following in the footsteps of his father, who graduated in 1902. Bacon lived in the two-story, six-bedroom house during part of his undergraduate years, then moved in permanently , at the invitation of Harriet Dunn, when he returned in 1930 to teach.
In 1946, Rosamond Clarke, '30, came to the house when she married the math professor. Harriet Dunn died a month later, leaving the house and renewable land-lease to the Bacons. Jane Stanford had given permission for Mrs. Dunn a nd her husband, Orrin, to build the colonial-revival house in 1899 as recompense for Harriet Dunn's earlier work building and operating a campus boarding house.
For many years, Bacon directed the undergraduate program in mathematics, according to Halsey Royden, who took classes from Bacon during his student days and later became a faculty colleague.
To students and fellow faculty members, Bacon was "the embodiment of Stanford ways and history," Royden said. At the time he retired, Bacon, through his calculus classes, probably had taught "more engineering and science undergraduates than anyone else in the history of the university," Royden said.

1614 Jeremiah Horrocks (1618, 13 Jan 1641) (some sources give 3 Jan as date of death, England had not converted to Gregorian Calendar) English astronomer and clergyman who applied Johannes Kepler's laws of planetary motion to observations of the Moon and Venus. Once Horrocks managed to obtain a small telescope, his observations convinced him that Lansberg's tables were incorrect. He accepted Kepler's elliptical orbits, and in working on the moon he applied an elliptical orbit to it and established that the line of apsides precessed, an effect which he ascribed to the influence of the sun. Horrocks predicted and observed a transit of Venus on 24 Nov 1639, the first one ever observed, and from the observation he corrected the solar parallax, indicating a much greater distance of the sun than anyone before him had admitted. He died at age only 22.*TIS The only person to predict, and one of only two people to observe and record, the transit of Venus of 1639, which was the first transit of Venus to be convincingly predicted and observed. *Wik

1934 Paul Urich Villard (28 Sep 1860, 13 Jan 1934) was a French physicist and chemist who in 1900 identified a third kind of natural radiation, later called gamma rays. He was studying the radiations from uranium salts discovered by Henri Becquerel four years before. Charged particles whose paths were bent in a magnetic field were known, but Villard found a form of penetrating radiation that was not deviated, but it drew little attention from contemporary scientists. A year before, in 1899, Ernest Rutherford named the first two kinds of natural radiation—positive alpha particles and negative beta rays. The third kind became known as gamma rays—with energy higher than X-rays, weak power of ionization, and which Rutherd characterized (1914) as a form of electromagnetic radiation, like light. Villard invented several radiological instruments, including the osmoregulator and Villard's valve. He researched hydrates, and discovered silver hydrate. He wrote Les Rayons Cathodiques (1900). *TIS

Research at the MIND lab seeks to understand the networks of brain structure and function that enable musical processes: auditory and multisensory perception, learning and memory of sound structure, sound production, and the human aesthetic and emotional response to sensory stimuli.
Tools for this research include human electrophysiology, structural and functional neuroimaging, noninvasive brain stimulation, and psychophysical and cognitive experiments as motivated by the following questions:
- How do humans perceive and produce music?
- How can music be used to understand the brain?
- Why do humans enjoy music?

S&P 500 plunges in worst loss of 2019 as trade war escalates
NEW YORK - U.S. stocks plunged to their worst loss of the year Monday and investors around the world scrambled to sell on worries about how much President Donald Trump's worsening trade war will damage the global economy.
China let its currency, the yuan, drop to its lowest level against the dollar in more than a decade, a move that Trump railed against as "currency manipulation." It also halted purchases of U.S. farm products. The moves follow Trump's tweets from last week that threatened tariffs on about $300 billion of Chinese goods, which would extend tariffs across almost all Chinese imports.
The escalating dispute between the world's largest economies is rattling investors unnerved about a global economy that was already slowing and falling U.S. corporate profits.
The S&P 500 dropped 87.31 points, or 3%, to 2,844.74 for its worst loss since December, when the market was wrapped in the throes of recession fears. It was down as much as 3.7% in the afternoon.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 767.27, or 2.9%, to 25,717.74, and the Nasdaq composite fell 278.03, or 3.5%, to 7,726.04.
"A 3% drop in a day is very significant, and you're seeing sizeable moves in every major foreign market," said Rich Weiss, chief investment officer of multi-asset strategies at American Century Investments.
"I am surprised at the market's surprise at China's retaliation," he said. "We started a fight, and when the opponent punches back, I'm not sure why we're surprised."
The sell-off began Monday in Asia, where indexes lost more than 1%, and intensified as it swept westward through Europe to the Americas. Investors in search of safety herded into U.S. government bonds, which sent yields plunging.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which rises with expectations of stronger economic growth and inflation, fell to its lowest level since Trump's 2016 election energized markets, down to 1.72% from 1.85% late Friday. The yield on the two-year note, which is more influenced by interest-rate moves from the Federal Reserve, sank to 1.58% from 1.71%. Both are unusually large moves.
A warning light of recession in the bond market also began shining more brightly, which traders said may have added to the selling pressure on stocks. When short-term Treasury yields are higher than long-term rates, a rule of thumb says a recession may arrive in about a year. The three-month yield was at 2.00% Monday afternoon, 0.28 percentage points higher than the 10-year's yield. A month ago, it was 0.21 points higher.
"The market sell-off is showing that there is a severe lack of confidence that this is going to work out for us economically, at least in the short term," Weiss said.
Of course, the U.S. economy is still growing, the unemployment rate remains close to its healthiest level in nearly half a century and U.S. stock indexes set record highs just over a week ago. But the escalating trade tensions and investors' disappointment that the Federal Reserve didn't commit to a lengthy series of interest-rate cuts at its meeting last week have since sent the S&P 500 on a six-day losing streak, its longest since October. The S&P 500 is 6% below its record.
"A recession is still unlikely, but the probability of it is higher, still at less than 20%," said Nate Thooft, head of global asset allocation at Manulife Investment Management.
The biggest threat coming out of the past week, he said, is that all the uncertainty about trade will scare CEOs and shoppers away from spending. That would threaten the expected ramp up in growth that economists have been expecting later this year. He expects U.S. economic growth to muddle along. It may fall as low as 1% and make things feel like a recession, he said, but a real recession remains unlikely in part because interest rates are low.
Technology stocks bore the brunt of Monday's selling, and Apple slid 5.2%. It not only depends on Chinese factories to assemble its iPhones, but China is also the only country aside from the United States that accounts for more than 10% of its sales.
Companies are in the final stretch of the latest round of quarterly earnings reports, and results haven't been as bad as initially feared, though still down from year-ago levels. Profit for companies in the S&P 500 is now expected to contract by roughly 1%. That's better than the nearly 3% drop expected earlier. More than three quarters of the S&P 500 have reported financial results.
Meat producer Tyson Foods jumped 5.1% for the biggest gain in the S&P 500 after it reported profits that were better than Wall Street expected. It was one of only 11 stocks in the S&P 500 able to eke out a gain.
Gold rose as investors sought safer ground. It added $19.00 to $1,464.60 per ounce. Silver rose 13 cents to $16.35 per ounce, and copper fell 3 cents to $2.54 per pound.
Benchmark U.S. crude fell 97 cents to settle at $54.69 a barrel. Brent crude oil, the international standard, fell $2.08 to $59.81 a barrel. Wholesale gasoline fell 6 cents to $1.72 per gallon. Heating oil declined 5 cents to $1.84 per gallon. Natural gas fell 5 cents to $2.07 per 1,000 cubic feet.
In Asia, where tensions between Seoul and Tokyo are worsening in a trade dispute entirely separate from Washington's and Beijing's, Japan's Nikkei 225 index fell 1.7%, and South Korea's Kospi lost 2.6%. The Hang Seng in Hong Kong dropped 2.9%.
In Europe, France's CAC 40 fell 2.2%, and the German DAX lost 1.8%. The FTSE 100 in London dropped 2.5%.
The dollar fell to 106.02 Japanese yen from 106.55 yen on Friday. The euro strengthened to $1.1202 from $1.1113.

And would actually begin a new book if he came to the end of one before his day's quota had been met. – David Markson, This is Not a Novel
Mood affects everything we do, how we interact with other people, affects our productivity at work, affects how personal relationships, our energy levels. When we are in a sour mood (angry, sad, depressed, frustrated, etc.) our productivity at work suffers, we don't feel like working or interacting with other people, others' good moods will aggravate us, seeing tiny little moments of joy from others will annoy us and make us wish that person would leave. We probably don't want to create music, art, literature, cook, etc. Likewise when we are in a happy mood, when we are excited, content, we are more prone to creativity, our productivity increases, our interactions with others is more affable, tiny instances that will usually aggravate us (the copier being out of ribbon, the cat knocking over our glass of water, the next door neighbor mowing his lawn at 8p when we're trying to enjoy a book or our favorite TV show) we can shrug off.
But how does mood affect writing, or any art for that matter, assuming of course that we have mustered up the courage to write in the first place, that we have been able to see past our elation and attention devouring ecstasy, past our lethargy and depression to focus on writing?
One wonders if Anthony Trollope had this problem. As shown in the Markson quote above, Trollope clearly did not have a problem in garnering the motivation to write. However, what was his output like on those days he did not feel quite so creative, on those days he just didn't feel enthusiastic about the writing process, those days when he would have rather just stayed in bed with a bottle of wine and asked his servants to bring him a ham sandwich, he was not getting out of his sleeping gown? Was his output more dour, did he decide to work on stories or scenes that would reflect his mood? If he woke up in a foul mood one morning, but if in the novel he was working on at that moment he was presently working on a blissful wedding scene, would he have been able to push aside his own negativity and create the scene the novel demanded? Or did his mood alter the scene? Would he have to go back and revise what he had initially written as a crashed wedding, a blasphemous affair into something more mood appropriate? And vice versa. If one is in an elated mood, are they more capable of accessing the dark recesses of their mind, of their heart, if they are working on a murder scene or a scene of heartbreak, or emotional turmoil?
Does the act of writing itself allow us to focus not on ourselves but on the work? Is the outlet enough to allow us to compartmentalize our private lives from our writing lives? Or does our personal mood affect the output of what we write?
A writer friend wrote a while ago that when she is in the midst of writing an emotional scene in her book or her story that she can't help but become emotional as well, that what the characters are going through affect her. After completing the scene, she feels emotionally drained. And perhaps this is a symbiotic nature of the work itself. I haven't asked her, but I'm assuming she went into her writing that day knowing that the piece would be emotional, but that earlier she was probably in a good mood. As she began writing the events themselves began to affect her, her writing, the scene affecting her mood, her mood reflecting in her writing, scene and personal disposition mirroring each other, fiction reflecting life reflecting fiction reflecting life reflecting....
I cannot say this has happened before. In one of my stories (as yet unpublished) I wrote the scene of a young man watching the death of his mother, the two of them sharing a cigarette in the kitchen after she collapsed while they waited for the ambulance. At the risk of sounding immodest, it is a very powerful scene. However, when I was writing it, I only felt pleasure that I was able to capture an emotionally wrenching scene with such authenticity. The writing did not leave me emotional for my character; I did not feel saddened afterward, nor was my mood being reflected in the story itself. However, I did know the night before that I would need to be a bit more alert to write the scene. Once I arrived at the point of the mother's death flashback, it was 3am, and my eyes were sagging to the floor. I realized I would need to be of full alertness to properly convey the emotional intensity of the scene. But during the writing of it, I felt nothing but placidity, an unwavering equanimity. What my character was going through did not affect my mood. Or did it? Would I have been able to write so authentically as my character had I lost my job earlier in the day? Would I have been able to render the devastating power conveyed by the shared cigarette had I won the lottery earlier that afternoon? (Would I even have been writing if I had won the lottery earlier that afternoon?) It's possible that my mood of calmness was portrayed in the calm manner by which I wrote. We can never be sure.
Eric Maisel wrote in his book Deep Writing about how to best access our deep feelings, how to allow ourselves to become free of our inhibitions and fears through writing about them, how writing can be a form of therapy. He wrote of how our own years-long issues can be a catalyst for our stories and be re-explored through story. At the beginning of the book he quoted a former patient who believed that a healthy sense of self and well-being was needed to create art:
When I am completely healthy, completely healed, will there be more art in me? I think there will be and maybe it will be some of the best. That sense of wholeness and well-being must be a wonderful place to make art from. I hope I get a chance to be there, even if only for a while.

Microsoft 'homophobia' tribunal ends in settlement
A gay games developer who sued Microsoft over alleged homophobic abuse has reached a settlement with the company.
Jamie Durrant, 38, orginally sued the corporation for £45,000 for 'hurt feelings' and lost pay.
According to the designer, who worked on the firm's Xbox games at the Lionhead Studios in Guildford, he was called "fag boy Jim" by colleagues, who sent mocking emails making fun of his sexuality.
He alleged that the company's human resources department "blatantly disregarded" his complaints.
The two parties reached a settlement agreement at an employment tribunal held this week in south London.
A confidentiality clause means the terms of the settlement cannot be disclosed.
A Microsoft spokesman said: "We are pleased to have reached an amicable resolution to this matter with Mr. Durrant. The terms of the settlement are confidential, but we can confirm that Mr. Durrant will not continue his employment at Lionhead as part of the agreement.
"Microsoft has a longstanding commitment to diversity. We attract, recruit and respect diverse talent and we have included sexual orientation in our anti-discrimination policies for 20 years.
"Our efforts have been recognised by a wide range of groups, including the Human Rights Campaign Foundation in its 2009 Corporate Equality Index. We do not tolerate breaches of our code of business conduct and take any complaints extremely seriously.
"Throughout this process, those to whom Mr. Durrant brought his concerns have taken them seriously and concrete actions have been taken to address them.
"Neither Mr. Durrant's sexual orientation nor the nature of his complaint had any bearing on the way it was handled."
When approached by PinkNews.co.uk, Mr Durrant declined to comment.

- Approval of Denturist Technology Program for Northern Alberta Institute of TechnologyUnder the Provisions of MCA 37-29-303(1), the Montana Board of Regents is charged with "recognition" of educational institutions� "accredited by a national or regional accrediting agency recognized by the Montana State Board of Regents, the curriculum of which includes�." The Office of the Commissioner for Higher Education has received a request for such recognition from Northern Alberta Institute of Technology for their Denturist Technology Program.
Effective 1999 ; Issued 1999
1. Although the Montana Board of Regents requires institutions under its purview to maintain accreditation by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges, Commission on Colleges, there is no similar system of voluntary, regional accreditation applicable to Canadian colleges, vocational colleges and universities.
2. In Canada, public institutions are granted the right to operate within their respective provinces through statutes effected by the individual provincial legislatures. In addition, the provincial Minister of Education approves the mandate of each institution and the provincial Department of Education approves the individual credit programs.
3. Given Montana's proximity to Canada and because the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges, Commission on Colleges is one of two regional associations that does not provide accreditation services to non-U.S. institutions of post-secondary education, the Montana Board of Regents wishes to establish criteria for the recognition of Canadian colleges and universities.
Board policy:
1. Pursuant to the practices of the Canadian provincial governments that authorize post-secondary institutions to operate by statute, the Montana Board of Regents will recognize those institutions that have been authorized by their respective provincial governments.
2. With regard to individual programs, the Montana Board of Regents will recognize those programs that are within the mandate of the institution as approved by the several Canadian provincial Ministers of Education.
3. Finally, for credit programs, the Montana Board of Regents will recognize those which have been approved by the respective provincial Ministers of Education as being within an institution's mandate. With regard to transfer and acceptance of credit from these programs, the campuses of the Montana University System will process the transcripts and evaluate credits pursuant to Regents' policy 301.5.

Prince of Peace
From Series: "He Shall Be Called"
The Spirit of God gave the prophet Isaiah revelation about the promised Messiah, the Savior of the world. In His birth announcement in Isaiah 9 we are given four royal titles that vividly describe the nature and work of the Messiah. This Advent, we will study these four titles in their context, how Jesus Christ fulfills each royal title, and why we can worship Jesus Christ as our true king this Christmas season.
