Associated community: Antisynthetase Syndrome
Antisynthetase syndrome is a rare infammatory muscle disease with various clinical features, including lung disease and scarring (interstitial lung disease), skin and muscle inflammation (dermatomyositis, polymyositis), reduced blood flow (Raynaud's phenomenon) and autoimmune disorders. It occurs in 1 of every 100,000 people, and is more common among women than men. This ebook is primarily based on an Ask the Expert podcast featuring Dr Fredrick Miller (NIEHS, NIH) and Dr Lisa Christopher-Stine (John Hopkins School of Medicine), and discusses novel diagnoses and treatments for the disease. The ebook also answers some common questions about Antisynthetase and is a good resource for both rare disease patients and family members.

High Quality is standard with a Woodrite timber garage door.
The Garage Door Centre has always loved specifying, supplying and installing high quality timber garage doors of all types. The beauty of timber always enhances any property and treated correctly the issues normally associated with timber are not an issue.
We see timber doors that have been installed, treated and finished correctly still looking like new after 10 years!!
Woodrite Garage Doors are a rare breed of manufacturer passionate about their products to the point of obsession.
Not a bad thing these days with mass produced building products promising a lot but delivering very lttle.
Why so Different?
The superb range of timber garage doors produced by Woodrite are hand assembled and machined using the very latest wood working equipment. Every piece of timber is treated BEFORE assembly takes place so there are no untreated timber sections likely to give issues later in the door life.
The timber used is of the very highest quality and the operating gear used is the very latest available with options on steel or timber fixing sub frames. Standard or purpose made is no problem and the finer details of chamfered edges and over cladding of steel sub frames all make for a timber garage door that looks and feels worth every penny. The Woodrite doors are true value for money.
The Range
Woodrite timber doors are available as side hinged traditional type doors or up and over one piece doors from 6 feet and up to 16 feet wide with every millimetre covered inbetween. Side hinged pedestrian doors are also made to compliment the garage doors. The door range is constantly evolving with new designs and more recently for example certain designs available in Idigbo, a beautiful hardwood, light in weight but ideal for pairing with oak on a building with very similar graining and colouring but not the expense or weight.
All the standard doors are manufactured using grade one selected cedar wood for the highest quality of door panel with the advantages of light weight and durability in the UK weather.
See the range in our product catalogue>
Each timber door is available with a base-treatment that you will need to stain in a colour of your choice, or a factory fully finish is available in various classic timber shades. Woodrite uses a high quality wood finish system and recommends this for on site finishing by others.
The finish provides a low gloss surface that can be wiped clean with a soft cloth and water. Re-staining is recommended at least every three years, but always keep an eye on the finish as south facing doors in strong sunlight may require more regular care with darker colours used.
Operating gear
Woodrite doors are now available in 4 different up and over gear types depending on various factors such as the fixing sub frame and size but the main operating gear used is a highly developed retractable mechanism using a box section steel sub frame chassis for strength and stability with the added advantage of extra security as the edges are always steel and combined with a steel sub fixing frame you will have steel against steel on the inside edge providing maximum resistance to an attempted forced entry.
All Woodrite doors can be manual or remote control electric operation including the side hinged range of doors.
Other Touches
Woodrite have been the first company to offer a timber sub frame that is clad with cedar wood so you have a frame matching your door panel if required. Most timber sub frames are either sorted redwood or red meranti and neither timber are anything like the cedar door panel in colour or graining so can clash badly is stained in a light colour.
Woodrite have also followed a German technique of overlapping the front face of their doors on steel chassis systems so from the front it is only timber you see, very pleasing to the discerning eye!!
Woodrite offer stainless steel window elements as well as modern wood stain finishes in trendy colours and can change standard door designs to suit a particular design you may require to match some other part of your home.
Let us quote you for the timber door of your dreams and offer you a timber garage door that we can all rest assured will give years of trouble free use. A door of the highest quality making your garage a pleasure to use and look at.

See the moment Loyola clinched spot in Final Four
The Cinderella run continues.
The No. 11 seed Loyola Ramblers dominated Kansas State in Saturday's Elite Eight matchup and didn't trail the No. 9 seed Wildcats after the 16:31 mark in the first half. Advancing through their unexpected NCAA tournament run, the Ramblers won, 78-62, and became the first team to clinch its spot in the Final Four next weekend in San Antonio.
There was no need for a stunning go-ahead shot in the final seconds like in Loyola's past tournament games - or even for a true buzzer-beater. The Ramblers grew their lead into double digits in the second half, up to as many as 23 points just shy of the 10-minute mark.
Here are the final seconds of the first Elite Eight matchup that sent Loyola to the Final Four.
The Ramblers will play the winner of the Michigan-Florida State game.

WASHINGTON — Debris continues to pile up on Maryland's shores following heavy rains and rainwater runoff, forcing some beaches in Anne Arundel County to restrict swimming or to close. Meanwhile, officials are calling for volunteers to help clean up the muck.
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources says no swimming is allowed at Sandy Point State Park, a popular beach just before the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, due to safety concerns after lots of debris washed ashore, including tires and trees.
The park will remain open for activities outside of the water. The sandy portion of the beach will remain open and shoreline fishing is allowed there. Boaters may continue to launch but should use extra caution out on the water.
The department put out a call on social media for volunteers to help clean up the debris. There will be two "large-scale" cleanups on Thursday Aug. 2 and Saturday Aug. 4. The clean-up starts at 9 a.m. but volunteers can show up whenever it's convenient for them. Maryland DNR said volunteers need to complete an online volunteer form before arriving. Gloves will be provided but volunteers should wear solid shoes and bring bug spray. Volunteers should not bring young children.
Beverly Triton Beach Park, as well as Downs Park Dog Beach in Anne Arundel County are closed. Fort Smallwood Park's Swimming Beach and Kayak Launch also is closed indefinitely due to debris from the Conowingo Dam release.
Due to high levels of bacteria found when there's at least a half inch of rainwater runoff, the county's health department urges anyone who comes in contact with the water to wash up immediately.
Officials are urging anyone on the water in areas still open to wear a life jacket and navigate the waters with caution.

MOC generally servers as a blended-learning oriented platform rather than a complete distance learning package. This means that most of the modules provided via MOC are taught face-to-face in the respective courses of study. Consequently, the slides must be regarded as prepared for heavily interactive lectures. This is also true for the working sheets, although we generally supply a kind of best-practice solution (or to be more precise, one of many possible solutions which works).
If you want to use MOC for distance learning anyhow, we recommend that you start each session with the respective lecture notes (if available) and follow the instructions given within regarding the working sheets or other exercises.

Arne Duncan, former education secretary under Obama, has called for parents to boycott schools until gun laws are put in place to "protect" students. It might seem like a good idea to some. In reality, it is another example of what's wrong with the entire picture.
The real problem with this idea of a "solution" is how it makes obvious that people, particularly those with power to influence, don't understand education, their own privilege, nor the underlying complexity of issues related to gun violence.
It's not a solution at all. It's a flagrant dismissal, a sweeping gesture that allows the perspective that this is how we solve the problem, that somehow it is a simple issue to solve if parents would just step to the plate.
It enrages me. In my opinion, it should enrage you as well.
Let me show you why.
It's a glaring classist statement.
Education has its own myriad of disparities. From opportunity and achievement gaps to poor funding models and back-handed support of teachers, education is riddled with its own issues. Calling for parents to boycott school ignores these disparities. It is spoken from implicit bias, from a place of blind privilege.
To think that somehow all parents could suddenly manage their lives and the lives of their children by pulling them out of school is ridiculous! For too many families, public education is the child care that allows parents to work. If those students stay home, parents and guardians have to choose between not going to work or leaving them home alone.
They can't afford the astronomical costs of childcare, particularly if there are multiple children in the home under the age of 12 years. Even then, 12-year-olds left unattended for 6, 8, or 10 hours? What could possibly go wrong?
What Arne is calling for is an economical hardship on families, many of whom are already struggling to survive. To think that all parents and guardians can suddenly absorb the reality of not sending students to school is a statement that could only be made out of the implicit bias of privilege.
Additionally, now those parents who can't, don't, or won't are set up as the scapegoats of why this simple solution isn't working. Great. Blame the victim.
Oh, which leads us to another problem.
We've handled school violence wrong from the beginning.
I remember back to the shooting at Columbine, the atrocity that brought school violence into the spot light of white suburbia. (Prior to that, it had only been an issue in inner city, poor schools; the shadows that could be ignored and where it was virtually expected.)
When it happened, it was immediately normalized.
The questions that were asked (like, How could such normal looking kids do this?), the steps that were taken (like metal detectors in schools) all pointed at the students and said, "Any one of you could be capable of this" instead of "Oh my goodness, what an abnormal tragedy. We (the adults) need to protect our students from such things."
There were no new laws that required mental health counselors in every school; no requirements for staff to learn how to best eliminate bullying and targeting; no highly supported research that sought to identify and correlate problem to solution. Nothing.
All the reactions focused on what had happened. Few asked the questions of how to best ensure it was an isolated incident.
School violence isn't going to be solved by changing gun laws.
The issue is far too complex for it to simply be solved by boycotting schools and changing laws. The individuals who find themselves considering shooting up schools as a viable answer to any problem aren't interested in doing things legally. Additionally, illegal weapons are bought, sold, lost, found, and traded as easily as any other contraband including slaves, drugs, exotic animal parts, and porn. One more series of laws and the time and money required for them to be implemented and enforced is a poor choice of investment.
School violence won't be solved until people come together to begin to explore and understand the core issues that cause it, and that's no easy feat. It's a tangled mess of mental health, disparities, rising social norms, sinking social norms, economics, politics, and oppression – to name a few.
My bottom line opinion is that it is arrogant of anyone to say that boycotting schools is a viable option to make change in school shootings. It's ludicrous to consider gun laws as the answer that will lead to peace in schools and society.
It's time to invest in real solutions. That requires real people doing real work with real money; daring to make an investment to get to the core and begin piecing together solutions.
Who will that be? Arne Duncan? You?
I look forward to hearing from you!
With Respect,

We believe in the great gospel commission of Jesus: "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth."
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world."
Matthew 28:18-20 – And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
We consider it a privilege and a duty to cooperate in spreading the gospel to the whole world through the spoken and written word.
Matthew 11:29, 30 – Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matthew 24:14 – And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Mark 16:15, 16 – And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Acts 1:8 – But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Revelation 14:6-12 – And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Winning an IRS Audit
If you are selected for an IRS exam, you likely do not feel like a winner. In fact, you have at least some bad luck or karma to be selected in the first place. But, if you are selected, what can be considered a win against the IRS? The answer is: it all depends on where you start!
The IRS expends substantial resources when selecting tax returns for audit. Unfortunately, the IRS is adept at the return selection process as the returns selected generally are problematic for the taxpayer. Out of the million plus returns selected each year, the IRS has their normal targets: the super-wealthy, tax protesters, individuals and businesses with offshore bank accounts, claiming a loss on a hobby, using a sleazy preparer and using round numbers on a return…. But the IRS also audits ordinary everyday people and business owners without the aforementioned characteristics.
The best possible outcome for an IRS audit is a "no change" letter. This means the return has been accepted as originally filed with the IRS. Considering the aforementioned resources the IRS puts into exam return selection, a "no change" result is unusual. If you have a "No Change" exam consider this a "Win" against the IRS. Generally, the taxpayers with "No Change" exam results have at least some of the following factors going for them: they are exceptional record keepers, have a competent and conservative CPA preparing their returns, do not have any IRS targeted positions on their return and/or their return was selected randomly.
Often, an acceptable outcome in an IRS exam include changes to the original return that include additional tax due. There are, however, acceptable outcomes in IRS exams that include changes to the original return which result in tax due. This can occur if all income is not reported or deductions are not valid or deductions cannot be adequately substantiated. The IRS will compute a balance due with interest and late pay related penalties. But as long as Accuracy-Related Penalties under IRC § 6662(b)(1) and IRC § 6662(b)(2) are not assessed a taxpayer is essentially in the same position as he or she would be if their return was originally filed correctly. I would consider this result a win for the taxpayer under most circumstances.
Now the most common result in an IRS audit are changes to the return that increase income and tax due along with the aforementioned Accuracy-Related Penalties under IRC § 6662(b)(1) and IRC § 6662(b)(2). The amount of an Accuracy-Related Penalty can total 20% of the portion of any underpayment attributable to the taxpayer's negligence or substantial understatement of income tax. Therefore a taxpayer will pay additional tax for the changes on the return, interest, late pay penalties and a 20% Accuracy-Related Penalty. Now this does not appear to be a win but again it all depends on where you start. If you are a college educated small business owner and you claimed substantial deductions for personal expenses on your Schedule C that are clearly not ordinary and necessary business expenses, then it could have been worse. Instead of the 20% Accuracy-Related Penalties, the IRS could have assessed a Civil Fraud Penalty under IRC §6663 which imposes a 75% penalty on the amount of any underpayment of tax required to be shown on a return that is due to fraud.
We are all flawed creatures and have lapses of judgment. Suppose you own a barber shop that has sales of 500K. These sales consist of 400K of cash and 100K of credit cards. You receive a 1099-K from your third-party credit card payment processor. While completing your return you intentionally fail to report all of your cash sales and only report the 100K from the 1099-K. You just had a considerable lapse of judgment while completing your return thinking you could evade paying tax on your cash sales. If this is your starting point for your IRS audit, then the increased tax, interest, late pay penalties, and the 75% Civil Fraud Penalty under IRC §6663 might be a win. It could be a colossal win as the alternative would be a referral to the IRS Criminal Investigation Division and eventually a criminal conviction with incarceration.
No matter where you start with an IRS audit a tolerable result is possible, it may not feel like a win but the alternative would feel a whole lot worse. An experienced tax attorney will be able to protect you by knowing your taxpayer rights, minimizing financial and criminal exposure and limiting the scope/time of an exam.

PM pledges to sack Catalonia's leaders in fight for the future of Spain
The leader of the rebellious region claims the power grab is an attack on democracy as thousands take to the streets to protest
The Spanish government unveiled plans on Saturday to sack the separatist leaders of Catalonia and call new regional elections under previously unused and wide-reaching powers to prevent the country from breaking up.
Mariano Rajoy, the prime minister, said that he wanted the country's senate to allow ministers to take over the top jobs of the Catalan government, including taking control of the police, the region's finances and public media.
Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont said that the plans to replace him and his cabinet was an attempt to "humiliate" the region and an "attack on democracy". In a sign of the deeply entrenched divisions between Madrid and the restive region, he signalled to local politicians that they should press ahead with independence.
Mr Rajoy's announcement prompted thousands of protesters wrapped in red-and-yellow Catalan flags to flood the streets of central Barcelona on Saturday, holding up signs calling for freedom.
In a combative televised response late Saturday, Mr Puigdemont said the regional parliament should "debate and decide on the attempt to wipe out our self-government and our democracy, and act accordingly".
The decision to press for the abolition of the Catalan leadership, impose direct rule and push for elections within six months followed a special cabinet meeting on Saturday morning, almost three weeks after the controversial independence referendum took place.
The vote, which was ruled illegal by the supreme court, saw 90 per cent of the 43 per cent of Catalans who took part in the poll ask for independence. Many anti-independence supporters boycotted the ballot and claimed it was not valid.
Mr Puigdemont claimed the referendum result gave him a mandate to pursue independence. He and other regional leaders signed a declaration of independence, but immediately suspended it in order to allow for talks. Mr Puigdemont missed two deadlines set by the national government in which he had been asked to clarify Catalonia's position.
Now, Spain's government has taken historic steps to take back power.
The move by the prime minister was the worst attack on the Catalan people since the late Spanish leader General Franco abolished Catalonia's regional government in 1939, Mr Puigdemont claimed. Other Catalan leaders described it as a coup.
Article 155 of the Spanish constitution allows the national government to impose direct rule over Spain's semi-autonomous regions if there is a crisis. It does not suspend the autonomy of Catalonia, which is guaranteed in Spain's constitution and the Statute of Autonomy, but it allows the government to take special measures to force the region to adhere to its constitutional obligations.
It states that if a region's government "acts in a way that seriously threatens the general interest of Spain", Madrid can "take necessary measures to oblige it forcibly to comply".
It has never before been invoked in democratic Spain. The article is only two paragraphs long and does not outline rules for implementation.
Its implementation, as explained by the prime minister, is based on four objectives of the government: return to legality, restore normalcy and coexistence, continue economic recovery and hold to elections in the region.
"We are not suspending Catalonia's autonomy nor its self-governance. We're just reinstating normality," said Mr Rajoy.
"We are not suspending Catalonia's autonomy nor its self-governance. We're just reinstating normality," says @marianorajoy.— Steve Herman (@W7VOA) October 21, 2017
Mr Rajoy has stopped short of dissolving Catalonia's parliament but will hold elections for the region within six months.
The government's next steps include requesting authorisation from the senate to temporarily dissolve the roles of Catalonia's president, vice president and the advisers of the Catalan government. Their duties will be carried out by the corresponding ministries in the Madrid government during what the government has declared a crisis.

Spain rejects talks offer from Catalan government
Catalan leader calls for calm ahead of Madrid deadline
The Spanish senate is expected to meet next Friday to address the measure.
El Pais, the Spanish newspaper, reports that the government will have the ability to take control of TV3, the primary television channel of Catalan public broadcaster Televisió de Catalunya, "to ensure the transmission of 'truthful and objective information balanced".
The paper also reports that Madrid can issue direct and compulsory instructions to the police and state security forces.
Catalan vice president Oriol Junqueras said new elections were "not the best way of moving forward".
Catalonia currently has significant autonomy from Spain, including control over its own policing, education and health care.
Catalonia accounts for around a fifth of Spain's economic output.
Supporters of independence say the region contributes too much to the national economy, while those opposed believe Catalonia is stronger within Spain.
Nearly 1,200 companies based in Catalonia have re-registered in other parts of Spain since the referendum and and Spain this week cut its national growth forecast for 2018 from 2.6 per cent to 2.3 per cent.

Flagbearer hopeful of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Professor Joshua Alabi, has refused to state whether he will campaign on the legacy of former President John Dramani Mahama.
Host of Ekosii Sen political talk show on Asempa FM, Osei Bonsu (OB), on Monday, April 30 asked Prof Alabi on his show whether he will campaign on the achievements of Mr Mahama.
But the former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) said repeatedly that he would run on "the legacy of the NDC".
"The legacy of the NDC is big", he added.
"I will campaign on the legacy of the NDC and my vision", the former Greater Accra Regional Minister said.
The professor has intensified his campaign for the flagbearership in recent times, insisting that the Nana Addo led administration is taking the country in the wrong direction.
"I am going to the Jubilee house in 2021 and will be Ghana's president for 8 good years and so Ghanaians should watch out for me. I will make Ghana the Swiss of Africa when given the nod and I know I will win hands down", he said.
"The president [Nana Addo] cannot fulfil most of the promises he made before coming to power", he asserts.

Jacquie from Edventures with kids joins our ABCs and 123s letter and math series today with five great ideas for outdoor ABC activities.
5 outdoor ABC activities for kids
We love using nature to inspire learning!
Once spring weather sets in, we are more than ready to play, learn and explore using fun outdoor activities. In order to get more time outdoors during the week, we will often take some of our learning with us. This is amazingly easy when it comes to repetitive activities such as practicing your ABCs or sight words (and much more fun according to the kids).
Today we're sharing five fun ways to practice letters and words while enjoying some time outdoors!
ABC I-spy
There are two ways to play ABC I-Spy. The first is by looking for letters located on signs, buildings and other places you might visit. Challenge the kids to find all the letters of the alphabet as you walk to school or the park by looking for each letter in the alphabet in street names and other signs.
The second way to play is similar to the traditional I-Spy game but using the first letter of a word. For example, on a visit to the playground, you might look around and say "I spy with my little eye, something that begins with the letter S" – the kids would then need to find objects that begin with the letter 'S' such as swing or slide.
This can be made easier by also giving kids the sound of the letter in addition to the name of the letter.
You can also make the game more challenging by asking "How many items can you find that begin with the letter B?" This will encourage kids to continue to scout out multiple items (bunny, bird, bricks, blue sky) as they practice their letters and sounds.
ABC land art
This is one of our favorite ways to practice our ABCs, spelling words and sight words!
Inspire kids to create letters using items found in nature – sticks, rocks, pinecones, leaves, shells and other small natural manipulatives are perfect for creating both letters and words!
We really enjoy this hands-on learning because it's so sensory rich and leads to many other questions and surprises.
Outdoor "sounds like…" word families
Similar to I-Spy, this game encourages children to practice their blended letter sounds such as 'sh' and 'br'. This is for children who have mastered their ABCs are are moving toward sounding out words on their own.
The next time you visit a park or go on a hike, search for items that begin with some of these word families or blended sounds. It will help to say the blended sound a few times and then give the kids a word that includes the sound. For example, if you're looking for items that begin with 'br', you would repeat that sound a few times and then say "like the word brown".
ABC nature shapes
It's amazing what you can find in nature! And the kids always surprise me at how astute they can be when scouting out letter shapes.
During your next outing, look around for various nature items that are shaped like the letters of the alphabet. Find a leaf that looks like the letter 'A' or a stick in the shape of a 'Y'.
This is a creative activity for kids as children will need to interpret the shapes of nature. We love this activity because you'll never know which letters you'll find and we're always surprised at how many nature items look like letters.
Writing in nature
Learning to write the ABC's is just as important as learning to recognize them so it's always great to find unique ways for kids to practice their 'penmenship'.
Try these writing activities for fun ways to practice letters and words:
- Use your fingers to write in the sand
- Grab a stick and write in the mud
- Take along a piece of chalk and write as you walk (we call this a 'Chalk Walk' and it also works well for practicing numbers, math & site words)

Bells are pealed, not pianos. The start of "Drag Me Down" is an exception. A chord is struck and the piano strings are allowed to vibrate with decreasing volume, until the chord is struck again. The approach is effective in immediately setting an expectation of solemn subject matter. The vocals enter with "The light was always on when I woke up; but not today, I didn't understand." The lyrics of the song from NYIKO are built around a relationship that needs to end, despite some reluctance.
"Drag Me Down" is joyless subject matter wrapped in a melody that is almost high-spirited at times. For example, the instrumental support is playful during a segment that begins at 1:24. The counterbalance adds to the interest in the song.
NYIKO is Nyiko Beguin ("nee-koh" "bay-gan"), a recording artist, producer, and visual artist in Los Angeles. According to the Facebook page of NYIKO, the live band includes Dan Smith, Ian Senesac, and Tyler Daniel Bean.

Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father, and from the living Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, through the truth and love made known to us in God's Holy Spirit.
Over the last few months we have been discovering together ways in which we, as a rural, multi-point parish, can build vitality and find hope for our future in spreading the gospel message. In doing so, we have looked at some key areas of vital ministry of rural congregations; prayer, worship, evangelism, and caring ministries, following the chapters in the book Discovering Hope: Building Vitality in Rural Congregations (2001) by David Poling-Goldenne and L. Shannon Jung. This month we look to begin to tie all of these ministries together.
In order for all of these ministries to happen within a vital rural congregation, there is one underlying need that is of utmost importance. It may be obvious to some people what that need is, but maybe not in the way that one would expect. In order for these ministries to occur and bring vitality to a rural congregations, or any congregation for that matter, there needs to be a strong sense of leadership. Now, when many congregations, and according to authors Poling-Goldenne and Jung, think about strong leadership, they generally think of the one person who has historically been seen as the primary leader; that is the pastor. Fifty some years ago that was the way things were done, especially in small rural congregations; the pastor was the one "driving the tractor," borrowing language from Poling-Goldenne and Jung. And to tell the truth, this is still found in some churches to this day. In fact when I first got to Medina and Streeter almost three years ago, I remember hearing language like this, "Oh Pastor, it is whatever you want to do."
However, what the study done, that this book is the byproduct of, found out is that the congregations that found themselves as vital rural congregations where viewing leadership in a different way than this top down approach where it is the "Pastor Show," and the church just follows suit. What these congregations came to realize is that when they shifted their style of leadership to a more team approach, they were able to move away from just being able to maintain the church to being able to do ministry as a church. As Poling-Goldenne and Jung state, "Leadership is like a dance in which someone can take the lead sometimes and follow at other times;" and again, "In this model of shared leadership, people pass the baton of leadership back and forth to each other" (85).
Now, it is not like these churches just pulled this idea randomly out of thin air and ran with it. No, they came to this model of leadership by looking to Scripture and learning from the model of leadership that Jesus himself demonstrated. This pattern of leadership is modeled on Jesus and his ministry and thus seek his will in their ministries through prayer, Bible Study, worship, preaching, and committees or ministry teams, the very thing vital congregations are trying to do. "These congregations embrace images of Jesus as servant leader. Jesus loved others in life-transforming ways. Trained others by employing a multitude of creative teaching strategies" (86).
When leadership is done in this way, as these congregations found out, effective leaders where then able to cast a vision of mission that others were able to get on board with, and initiate change, not for changes sake, but for the sake of the gospel. They were then able to manage conflict, which undoubtedly will arise whenever undergoing any kind of change, and where able to do so with the foundation of prayer and study.
In this model of leadership, the pastor steps out of the way in order to let leadership happen, while still being a key source of mentorship, training, and support. As Poling-Goldenne and Jung state, "When pastors lead others to a fuller appreciation of their gifts and empower them to take on spiritual and programmatic leadership, either within or outside of the faith community, the whole congregation grows together" (87).
As the pastor of the churches of the Medina-Streeter Lutheran Parish, this is a pattern of leadership that I have been trying to model, as best I can, but it is going to take more than just me in order for this to become a full reality for us. From where I sit now, I know that some of the pieces are already there for this to fully happen. We already have great leaders within our churches. My challenge to all of us is to continue to encourage each other, using our own individual gifts, in order for us to fully reach our potential as a vital rural multipoint parish, constantly looking to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as true leader of us all.
May the living Christ be with you always!
Pastor Ryan

Batteries did not evolve as do the smartphones. The first smartphone was launched 10 years back that is powered by 128MB internal storage with a 3.5-inch display.
Batteries are known to us since thousands of years and the lithium-ion batteries what we use today work on the same principle that was developed thousands of years ago. Though researchers developed lithium-ion batteries that put more power in small size, there are certainly some limitations in these batteries.
Many batteries based on a different source of materials have been developed by the researchers. But, the commercial viability is a big concern for the majority of these batteries. Scientists developed batteries based on Graphene that can charge in 10 minutes and last for several days, batteries are developed using urea as an electrolyte, a flow cell battery which gets charged using carbon dioxide.
Research has been done not only on designing the battery based on different electrolytes, but also on developing a technology to blow-out fire caused by Lithium-ion batteries.
The batteries we are introducing to you in this article are no way different from the above. They are developed with an innovative concept.
Bioo Plant Battery:
Bioo is a battery that generates electricity from Photosynthesis.
-Allows up to 2 charges per day. Power: 5.0v, 1.0A
-Night and day electrical production
-25x15x15 cm sized battery
The battery is being sold for $100 and gives a 1.5A output of electricity. Although it the capacity is not big, it is quite enough to charge a smartphone.
The Bioo battery works by exploiting the power of a chemical reaction between the soil and the organic materials discharged in the process of photosynthesis by the plant.
Flexible Battery:
J.Flex, an innovative flexible battery by Jenax, meets these challenges by freeing design limitations without sacrificing power.
J.Flex can be bent or rolled to enhance the flexibility of next generation devices. From IT to healthcare and fashion, J.Flex supports a range of industries that are using advanced technologies to add new design, comfort, and efficiency to their devices.
- Powered by Lithium-ion
- 30mAh capacity
- 3.8V Nominal voltage
The uses for J.Flex are limitless. From current wearable applications that span diverse industries to unforeseen future technologies, J.Flex can fully realize next generation creative design.
IT Wearables
- Smart Watch
- Smart Glasses
- Headset
- Fitness Band
- Medical Device
- Smart Apparel
- Accessories
- Footwear
- GPS Tracker
- Military Helmet
- Wearable Robot
Skin Battery:
Skin battery may be born from a very innovative brains. The battery generates electricity using the friction generated by contact between the device and the skin.
The skin battery uses a gold film of nanometer thickness which captures the tiny electrical currents generated by friction between skin and device. A layer of silicone rubber increases surface area and ensures that the battery remains in a smaller size.
The skin battery can be sticked on to your skin to generate electricity and power up your wearable devices.

North Renton Store Manager
Michael "Mick" is proud to have joined The Evergreen Market family a few years ago. One of the many things he gained and perhaps most cherished of all is the family he found in Evergreen.
Michael began his love affair with Cannabis in Bellingham, Washington during the days of Medical. A do-it-yourselfer at heart, Mick could only consume the wonder plant for so long before having to get his hands in the soil. The rest is history! In the years to follow he quietly built on his success with garden design/management, all the while being able to satisfy his passion for human interaction through work in the service industry; serving, managing, and bartending for establishments in downtown Seattle. Having been along for the ride through the peak of medical, it was exciting times when the people of Washington finally decided it was time for recreational cannabis in 2013. Mick worked on the production side of 502 as chief grower for a young Tier 2 before finding a greater stability in transitioning to retail. Mick's passions for cannabis, human interaction and personal improvement have found sanctuary within the vision and values of The Evergreen Market, and he could not be more happy to continue the wonderful journey.

"From a vehicle you see Africa. On foot you feel, hear and smell Africa."
~ Said Every Safari Guide Ever
Step 1: Vary your vantage point
Stepping out of the vehicle is incredibly liberating, and allows you to experience animals very differently than on a game drive where there is a level of detachment. When you're walking through the bush, you experience a sense of intimacy and connection with the animals, where each of your senses is exquisitely heightened: you hear each careful crunch of your footsteps, crackle of dry grass and the richly diverse symphonic drama of bird song, lion growl and elephants trumpeting. Incredible details, hidden on a game drive, reveal themselves with every step you take.
By literally stepping into the animals' own world, you are more able to grasp just how vast the visceral vulnerability of their existence is, and how magnificently each species plays its role in the circle of life.
Step 2: Zoom into Zoology
With an expertly experienced guide, your knowledge about Africa as an eco-system is enriched beyond the 'fast facts' and embroidered with unbelievable details and stories about, for example, what happens when an elephant dies, how trees and seeds play a much more fascinating role than you ever imagined and how to recognise the unique song of specific birds which can be drowned out by the thrum of game drive's engine.
Step 3: From Macro to Micro
Game drives are perfect for delivering you into the heart of Africa's 'big picture' where you are exposed to the lay of the land as a 'canvas' on which you paint where exactly the lions hunt, elephants bathe and leopards lurk. A walking safari takes this a step further, embellishing the broad strokes of your safari canvas with extraordinarily unexpected details! Also, your own body's biological response to being so close to nature causes your senses to be dramatically intensified, with your brain's function – enhanced by the rush of adrenaline – enables your memory to embed the experience that much more deeply.
Step 4: Digital Detox
Because we can't take our smart (dumb?) devices on a walking safari, the digital disconnection is wonderfully calming and restorative, allowing us to press the reset button on our perspectives about life's often unnecessary 'priorities'.
Step 5: Tracking 101
Your guide's tracker will no doubt be eager to teach you all about what he does, which is a unique combination of intuitive and informational skills he has no doubt diligently applied himself over many years to learn and master.
Imagine being able to walk away from your safari having learned to decipher between different tracks in the sand and how the surrounding grasses and shrubs have been moved to identify which animal passed through the area and when?
One of our favorite walking safari specialists is The Bushcamp Company located in Zambia's South Luangwa National Park, the historic home of the walking safari, pioneered in the 1950s, and where The Bushcamp Company operates six exclusive bushcamps in the remote south of the park, as well as the award-winning Mfuwe Lodge.
Set out from any of these secluded, intimate camps and you will be guaranteed an unrivalled wildlife experience in one of the last unspoilt wilderness regions of Africa, where striding out on your own two feet, led by expert local guides, is the only way to truly connect with and deeply understand the wilderness. The intoxicating mix of emotion – excitement, adrenaline, vulnerability, respect and awe – can be said to almost be soul-altering in its wild purity.
This particular region of the park is renowned for its prolific game – giraffe, hippos, buffalo, antelope, and crocodile are constant visitors to Mfuwe Lodge's lagoon, whilst in November the local elephants regularly wander right through the lobby, lured by a the intoxicating scent of the nearby wild mango tree!
Contact us for more information on how to add this treasure to your next African safari tour!

Ky. county changes policy to have ambulances at high school athletic events
When football player Tyler Browning broke his leg in a home game, there was not an ambulance on site as recommended by the state
By Valarie Honeycutt Spears
Lexington Herald-Leader
FAYETTE COUNTY, Ky. — Fayette County Public school officials said this week that they are changing their practice regarding ambulances at high school athletic events.
Now they will have an ambulance at all high school home games, instead of just games involving two Fayette teams.
When Paul Laurence Dunbar High football player Tyler Browning sustained a serious break to his leg in October in the school's home game against Scott County, there was not an ambulance on site as recommended by Kentucky High School Athletic Association rules.
Fayette County Public School officials had a contract with a private company to have an ambulance on site at all games where two Fayette County schools were playing each other, but not when one of the teams was from another district, the Herald-Leader reported in October. It took 11 minutes for a Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government ambulance to arrive at Dunbar to take Browning to the hospital, records showed.
Fayette Schools budget director Julane Mullins mentioned at a recent board meeting that district staff thought that having ambulances at games was among the necessary expenditures.
For 2018, the district intends to have an ambulance on site for every home football game played in Fayette County. The projected budget for that is $17,280, said district spokeswoman Lisa Deffendall.
"Fayette County has been a leader in the area of sports safety, providing certified athletic trainers in our high schools from more than two decades and expanding the athletic trainer program to our middle schools in 2017, "Deffendall said in a statement Sunday night.
"The district has been recognized nationally for acting 'on all recommended and required elements of the Safe Sports School checklist' and going 'above and beyond to help ensure the safety of their student athletes,'" Deffendall said. "As part of our ongoing commitment to ensure the safety of our student athletes we have been phasing in the practice of contracting for ambulance services for several years."
In 2016, Fayette County Public Schools contracted with AMR Standby Services to provide two ambulances each Friday night. The ambulances would rotate being on site among the high schools that were hosting a game. The contract was $6,035, Deffendall said.
In 2017, the contract was changed to have an ambulance on site for the entire game when two Fayette County schools played each other. The contract was $8,640, she said.
Scott County is one Kentucky school district that last season had an ambulance on site for every home varsity football game, an official said in October.

Product Cost or Manufacturing Cost
Product cost –includes costs incurred– for manufacturing or for purchasing goods. In case of manufacturing business product cost consists of direct materials, direct labour and factory overhead. In case of trading business, product cost involves purchase price plus transportation in plus other costs associated with receiving.
Product cost is said to be "attached to the units produced". It is also called inventoriable cost. Product cost is, in the first instance, recorded as assets in inventory accounts as raw materials or parts or stores, then transformed through work in process into finished goods inventory. Product cost is treated as expense when the goods are sold (i.e. cost of goods sold). Following is a brief description of three main items included in product cost:
Direct Materials. Various substances that become an integral part of finished product and that can be conveniently and economically identified with it are called direct materials. Examples of direct materials include cloth for a shirt, leather for a pair of shoes, paper for a book etc.
Direct Labour. Direct labour is the labour cost of workers working on materials to convert them into finished products and the cost can be traced with units of output without undue cost or inconvenience. Examples include labour cost of workers working on a production conveyer, labour cost of carpenter or tailor.
Factory Overhead. All manufacturing costs other than direct materials and direct labour are collectively termed as factory overhead. These costs are also described by such names as manufacturing overhead, indirect manufacturing expenses, factory burden. This classification includes such costs as indirect materials, indirect labour, power, light, depreciation, repairs, cleaning and maintenance etc.
The term indirect materials is used for those items of materials which may become part of finished product but may be traceable into the product only at unreasonably high cost or inconvenience. For example, welding material used in the production of a bicycle or the cost of thread used for binding this book.
Similarly, labour cost which either cannot be directly associated with units of finished goods or which can be so associated only at unreasonably high cost and inconvenience is termed as indirect labour. Examples include labour cost of security guards, material handlers, cleaners, supervisors, engineers etc
As direct relationship exists between finished product and direct materials and direct labour, these two costs are jointly called prime cost. Direct labour and factory overhead costs are incurred to convert raw materials into finished products, therefore, these two costs are jointly called as conversion cost.

In a climax no-one could have predicted, Fabiano Caruana, Magnus Carlsen and Levon Aronian all won the Sinquefield Cup for a second time after Carlsen rebelled against drawing lots to decide who would miss out on a two-player playoff. Before that he had ground down Hikaru Nakamura in 97 moves, while Levon Aronian gambled and won brilliantly in Alexander Grischuk's time trouble. Wesley So showed no ambition as he drew against Fabiano Caruana, but was still rewarded with a playoff against the same opponent on Tuesday to decide who'll join Nakamura, Aronian and MVL in the London final.
You can replay all the 2018 Sinquefield Cup games using the selector below:
And relive the final day's play with the live commentary from Yasser Seirawan, Jennifer Shahade and Maurice Ashley:
It was to be a final round of fantastic drama in St. Louis, but the only contribution made by the all-US clash So-Caruana was to set the scene. There was something about the unconvincing way Wesley So had said, "I simply have to go all-out if I want to qualify for London," the day before that had provoked Maurice Ashley to ask Wesley if he really did want to qualify. The sensation was the same in the final round, when Wesley looked surprised to see his opponent play the Petroff, though that was one of the least surprising things that could have happened.
So picked the rare sideline 4.Nd3, which he described as "a little bit interesting", but he got nothing except a slightly worse position by move 20, with the game fizzling out into an early draw on move 35. The result meant Fabiano would at least tie for first but, as we'll see, it was unclear what that would bring. His frustration with his opponent's approach came out as mild sarcasm:
He said yesterday that he would go all-out, so I was expecting something like what he played! It was just such a dull game - nothing really happened. I was expecting him to try something better, because it was kind of a must-win for him, but he didn't really want to play today.
Wesley himself spoke as a man who had failed in St. Louis and let a leading position in the Grand Chess Tour fade away over the course of two poor events. He reflected, "I need to bring the good days back - I need to have more focus and determination". At this point he didn't seem to have any hopes of playing in London.
That result meant that the four players who had begun the day half a point behind Fabiano now knew for a fact that a win would give them a tie for first place. The game involving two of those players would be the day's most vivid encounter:
There was no lack of ambition by either player here, with Levon summing up:
I had this advantage before it started that my opponent needed to win much more than I did, and I had this strategy, I'm going to play a normal game and if a draw happens, it's ok… and then I got too excited!
Levon spent 29 minutes on move 9, and when the game entered unchartered waters with 10.f3 Grischuk sank into a 42-minute think, an impractical decision even by his own exalted standards.
The Russian star was playing well, and offered a brilliant exchange sacrifice on move 14 (it was declined), but time would suddenly become a major factor when Aronian took a dramatic decision on move 18:
Levon had memorably mentioned champagne earlier in the tournament:
And now he commented:
I thought that with 18.Rf4 probably the game should be balanced but 18.Rxf7 looked kind of a move that might work, because it completely changes the dynamics of the game, and if you have more time this can be very unpleasant for your opponent. It's a very risky decision, but as I already mentioned... the champagne part. I have to do something, because I do like champagne!
Aronian had 36 minutes to Grischuk's 16 at this point, though the decision on how to capture already took 3 minutes. That was understandable, since it was far from obvious. Aronian told Peter Svidler afterwards that he expected 18…Qxf7, but Grischuk stayed true to himself by playing the better but more dangerous 18…Kxf7! If after 19.Rf1+ Bf5 20.g4 g6 21.Qc1 Grischuk had played 21…Re6! he might have been the one drinking champagne, but as it was things began to go White's way, until with a bishop on e5 and the king safely tucked in on e3 nothing could go wrong for him.
The same couldn't be said for Grischuk, who went astray with the plausible 29…Rd8? (29…b5 or 29…Re8 and Black should still survive):
Black was no doubt hoping to defend with Rd7 or Qd7, but Levon pounced with 30.Qe7!, and suddenly there was no way to drive the white queen away from its dominant position (30…Qd7?? 31.Rf8+!). The Armenian no. 1 commented:
Of course it's very pleasant to have a position where your opponent cannot improve his position in any way, and yeah, I'm very happy that after all my sacrifice works so beautifully. As Larsen always said, "when you take risks you will lose, you will win, but you will only remember the wins!"
With Black paralysed the only question was whether Levon could find a way to finish off his opponent, and he did with the elegant advance of his h-pawn: 30…b5 31.h4! a5 32.h5! Rg5 33.Rf6. 33…Rxe5 was a clever try to confuse matters, but you could see Grischuk rocked back in his chair for the second time in the game by 34.Rg6+!, with mate next move. The game was over:
GM Niclas Huschenbeth has covered the entire game in a video:
The praise rolled in:
Aronian had ended the tournament as he began, and commented:
I think it's good to start with a win and finish with a win, but the job is not yet done. I'm very happy, but when you're lucky you get hungry for more.
He was thinking of a playoff, and at this stage what we thought we knew for a fact was that there would be a playoff. We didn't know the identities of the players for certain, but Caruana-Aronian looked a very strong bet. Shakhriyar Mamedyarov was putting up an impressive defence against Vishy Anand, but over the course of their 59-move draw never had any chance of getting the win he needed to tie for first.
Meanwhile things had started well for Magnus, but by this stage it was hard to imagine him beating Nakamura…
Hikaru Nakamura had little to fight for in the final round. He'd already wrapped up Grand Chess Tour qualification and was unlikely to salvage anything from a miserable tournament with Black against the World Champion. There was pride at stake, though, and maintaining the improved form that had seen him beat Magnus and then score six draws in their encounters, almost exorcising the painful memory of 12 losses without reply.
Hikaru played fast early on, with Magnus summing up the approach, "The line he goes for is very solid, but it's also a little bit sad for Black". The passive defence was put to the test with 25.Bxh6!
The new requirement for accurate, tactical defence brought out the best in Nakamura, though, and beginning 25…Re8! he confidently went about his task until Magnus admitted that he "didn't have any particular hopes", but played on since only a win mattered.
Things turned again on move 55:
Magnus admitted that if Nakamura kept queens on the board (e.g. playing 55…Kh7) there were no chances, but after 55…Qf7?! 56.Qa2! Qxa2 57.Rxa2 there was some reason for optimism. Nevertheless, he showed Svidler that Hikaru could have forced a draw almost immediately with the "very easy" 57…g5! 58.Kg3 Kg7 59.Kg4 Kg6 60.g3 Rb1! 61.Rxa7 Rg1:
Instead in the game after 57…Kh7 58.Ra6 Kg6 59.h4 Kh5 Magnus said that his opponent already "had to pick his poison… I cannot for the life of me imagine that it's winning at this point, but he has to make some decisions".
Those didn't go well for Nakamura, whose 62…g5?! allowed White a passed pawn on h5, and whose 66…a5?! smacked of desperation, though Magnus told Svidler that he was slightly worried at this point that the idea he'd already foreseen of getting his king to b8 might fall foul of the 50-move draw rule:
Those fears proved unfounded, however, and the king made it to b8 on move 85:
Magnus had foreseen all that followed, but the surprising thing was that Hikaru seems only to have realised he was lost at the very last moment, when he went through all the stages of grief in a final position where there was only one legal move.
The winning technique was familiar to Magnus, who commented:
The idea is in general well-known to hide behind these pawns with the king. It's funny that at the end material is equal and it doesn't look all that bad for him – actually when he resigns he's a pawn up, but it doesn't matter!
After 97…Kg8 98.Re7 the only move to stop a fast mate is 98…Ra8, but after 99.Kxf6 all the black pawns fall and it's a trivial task for White's passed pawns to win.
It was a remarkable end to the tournament for Magnus, who with this and the victory over Sergey Karjakin had scored two of the kind of wins that used to be his bread and butter:
It's great, it just makes the whole difference from a mediocre tournament to a good one, so now I've gained rating and I've shared first place, so that's quite different from whatever 4th or 5th or what I would be with a draw.
When Maxime Vachier-Lagrave fell short against Sergey Karjakin and a stalemate was reached on move 119 the main part of the 2018 Sinquefield Cup was over, with three players tied for first place:
That wasn't the end of the drama, though. According to the regulations there should have been a tiebreak for first place, but although that would take place on Tuesday, with plenty of time, it was only to be between the "two top players" (perhaps the rule applied more to the rapid and blitz events where the schedule is tighter). That would be determined by 1. results between the players, 2. number of wins and 3. number of wins with the black pieces. The players were actually tied on all three of those criteria, however, so we got the reductio ad absurdum that the player to miss out on the playoff would be decided by picking pawns out of a hat – the player who got the black pawn would be unable to fight for the title.
The World Champion wasn't going to have that, though, and on the Russian broadcast he told Svidler:
My basic stance is that I'm not going to play a playoff with two people – I think it's just too ridiculous – so we've got to find another solution.
Shortly afterwards a discussion with Tournament Director Tony Rich followed, in which Magnus proposed either a 3-player playoff or simply sharing the title without a playoff.
Levon Aronian was willing to play that playoff, but the agreement of all three players was needed, and Fabiano Caruana, phoning in to the venue, objected. So we got the anti-climax of no Sinquefield Cup playoff and a shared prize.
It might be easiest to engrave arrows for the 3 repeat winners!
Arguments raged online, with some pointing to the contract that the players had signed, while others felt it was right to rip up a contract with badly thought-out regulations.
That was Greg's more family-friendly tweet. As so often, Anish put it most eloquently
It recalls the situation with the Candidates Tournament, where in London 2013 almost everyone agreed that it was wrong to have the challenger determined by mathematical tiebreaks rather than have a playoff between players tied for first at the end. Nevertheless, the regulations have remained unchanged in 2014, 2016 and 2018, and that for arguably the most important event in chess.
That's not quite all for these two weeks of chess in St. Louis, though. One of the reasons Fabi had for not agreeing to a Sinquefield Cup 3-player tiebreak was that he has to play a tiebreak of his own anyway – two 25+10 minute games against Wesley So to determine the 4th spot in the Grand Chess Tour final in London in December:
It's ironic that Nakamura's painful defeat actually sees him go into London as the top seed (otherwise he would be behind Aronian), while it gave a lifeline to Wesley (otherwise Caruana would have qualified automatically). You can watch the tiebreaks at the usual time on Tuesday, with the usual commentary teams, live here on chess24 from 13:00 local time (20:00 CEST)!

CRC Tolls will be $8 to $16 round trip!
Tolls are Planned to be $2000 per Year for Commuters
Chapter 4 of The Interstate 5 Columbia River Crossing Project Final Environmental Impact Statement contains financial data including tolling scenarios. Exhibit 4.33, Toll Rate Schedule Scenarios – Toll Rates In Each Direction, shows three toll rate scenarios called Schedule 1, Schedule 2, and Schedule 3. Page 4-19 contains the following statement:
Given the baseline financial assumptions used in this FEIS, finance plan scenarios based on either the Base (Schedule 1) or Schedule 2 toll rates do not appear to be viable. The finance plan scenario shown assumes Toll Rate Schedule 3 and employs its entire borrowing capacity. It employs 3 years of precompletion tolling on a cash basis and a small amount of residual toll revenues. (Emphasis added)
Therefore it is appropriate to use the tolling data from Schedule 3 which shows a $3.00 toll from 6-10 am and 3-7 pm. This must be adjusted per footnote a of Exhibit 4.33:
Toll rates are shown in 2006 dollars. Toll rates are assumed to escalate at 2.5% per year.
If the bridge opens in 2019, at 2.5% per year increase, that $3 toll becomes $4.14 each way or $8.28 per day for commuters.
$8.28 per day is $2000 per year.
With yearly increases that becomes $3000 per year just 15 years after opening.
3 x 1.025^13 = $4.14
4.14 x 2 = $8.27
8.27 x 250 = $2068
2068 x 1.025^15 = $2995
1.025^13 = 1.378511
1.025^15 = 1.448298
But Tolls might reach $4000 per Year for Commuters!
The Columbia River Crossing Project ANNUAL SECTION 5309 NEW STARTS REPORT CAPITAL AND OPERATING FINANCE PLAN September 2011 created by the CRC for the FTA in compliance with annual New Starts reporting requirements contains this statement on pdf page 43:
22.214.171.124 Adapt Tolling to Different Circumstances if required to Rebalance the Funding Plan
Toll rates can be adjusted within reasonable amounts if additional funding capacity is required. Tolling analyses found that gross toll revenues can be increased by raising toll rates up to almost $6.00 (2006$) each way, after which the diversion impacts of higher rates exceeds the added revenues the higher rates produce. Toll rates that high are not being proposed. However, the analysis demonstrates that an increased toll rate schedule can produce additional funding capacity, if that was required.
Again, adjusting that $6 toll from 2006 dollars to day of opening we get $8.28 each way, or $16.56/round trip, which is $4140 per year for commuters.
With yearly increases that becomes $6000 per year just 15 years after opening.
$6 x 1.025^13 = $8.27
$8.27 x 2 = $16.54
$16.54 x 250 = $4136
$4136 x 1.025^15 = $5989
