March 23-25: Hilton Orange County in Costa Mesa
About 400 delegates at CFT Convention 2018 discussed resolutions on a broad range of policy issues; heard from the law school dean at UC Berkeley, Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom, and Tony Thurmond, the CFT-endorsed candidate for the job of superintendent of public instruction; joined thousands to rally and march for safer schools and common sense gun control; learned a whole lot about Janus v. AFSCME, a Supreme Court case that could effectively turn the public sector into a "right to work" zone; and heard from a teacher in West Virginia where they succeeded in getting a 5 percent raise for all public employees.
In a grim time for public schools and unions in general, with Donald Trump as president and billionaire anti-public education advocate Betsy DeVos as the Secretary of Education, speakers acknowledged the bleakness of the situation while exhorting CFT members to fight harder and offering bright spots to celebrate.
Guest Speaker Tony Thurmond: On Friday morning, Tony Thurmond, addressed the Convention, talking about how he's seen support staff, such as custodians, make a big difference in the lives of students, He always knew he wanted to be on the side of working people, Thurmond said, and as superintendent of public instruction, he wants to make sure all students, including low-income ones like he was, have an opportunity to get a great education.
Lots of workshops: After lunch, conference attendees had a choice of dozens of workshops to attend, including ones on pension advocacy, cultural relevance, climate education, and adjunct issues. Another series of workshops focused on Janus preparedness.

West Virginia solidarity: In the evening, during the EC/TK-12 Council meeting, members heard from one of the teachers involved in the strike in West Virginia. The victory in a deep red state was one of those bright spots, and later in the Convention during general session, Rico Tamayo, the indefatigable president of the EC/TK-12 Council, had delegates join hands while singing John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads" to honor the teachers of West Virginia (described in the song as "almost heaven"), and to remember to stand in solidarity with one another.
Guest Speaker Erwin Chemerinsky: On Saturday, the dean of UC Berkeley Law, Erwin Chemerinsky talked about the what's going on with the Supreme Court, focusing particularly on Janus v. AFSCME, which would mean unions couldn't collect "fair-share" fees from nonmembers who benefit from the union's bargaining activities. A similar case, Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association, went to the court in 2016 and resulted in a 4-4 split decision after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. Now that Trump has appointed conservative Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court in his place, Janus is predicted to become law. With this and other cases, Chemerinsky said the Supreme Court could possibly be the most anti-labor it's been since the 1930s. But he pointed out that rather than despairing, our choices are to give up — or fight even harder.
State of the Union: President Joshua Pechthalt echoed some of this in his State of the Union address, talking about how demoralizing and frightening the past year has been — he even likened it to 1930s Nazi Germany — but he said there are still rays of hope and the feeling that a progressive movement is growing in opposition to Trump and his destructive policies. Some positive things have happened in the face of a terrible political climate, like in our state, City College of San Francisco getting accredited after a five-year battle, Compton College after 10 years, and the CFT winning its lawsuit against the accreditation agency. Pechthalt also talked about how the victory of the West Virginia teachers emboldens labor and the inspiration of seeing teenagers organizing after the Parkland shooting.

Ben Rust Award: Dennis Kelly, former AFT and CFT Vice President and former president of United Educators of San Francisco, received the Ben Rust Award, the union's highest honor. He methodically gathered his family, including his triplet grandkids and UESF colleagues, on the stage with him during his acceptance speech, demonstrating that when we work together, we can get more things done.
March for Our Lives Rally: After lunch, people boarded eight buses to take them to a March For Our Lives rally in Santa Ana. Hundreds of thousands attended throughout the country and internationally. Teenage survivors of the February 14 shooting of 17 students at a school in Parkland, Florida, organized the rally, and their advocacy for safer schools and gun control is another bright spot to celebrate. At the rally, another person endorsed by the CFT — this time for governor — Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom, spoke, along with two CFT members, confirming his support for gun control and thanking the teenagers leading this movement.

Elections: When buses returned from the march, elections were held for delegates to the AFT Convention and the California Labor Federation. CFT President Joshua Pechthalt, Senior Vice President Lacy Barnes, and Secretary Treasurer Jeffery Freitas were elected from a field of six candidates.
More awards: Sandra Larsen, president of the Petaluma Federation of Teachers who organized a successful one-day strike, received the Women in Education Award. Ron Gaer from ABC Federation of Teachers was honored with the Raoul Teilhet Award. Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher and Senator Connie Leyva were also honored for their advocacy for public education and unions with the Legislator of the Year Awards. About two dozen local unions took home communications awards, and numerous locals won awards for their political advocacy and organizing work.
Policy debate: Delegates also debated resolutions on policy. Ones that generated a lot of discussion was one to raise the workload of community college part-time faculty from 67 percent to 80 percent, which passed, and one to protect students and staff from the health risks of pesticides, which also passed. A constitutional amendment also passed to change the CFT Convention to be a biennial event instead of an annual event. Next year, the Convention will be in Los Angeles and will mark the CFT's 100th anniversary. Following that Convention, the next one will be held in 2021.

The 75th Annual California Federation of Teachers convention, held at the Sheraton Grand Hotel in downtown Sacramento, welcomed hundreds of members and memorable speakers eager to combat the destructive and oppressive policies of the Donald Trump Administration. The fact that the first day of the convention fell on Cesar Chavez Day was fitting considering the theme of the convention: Organize. Resist.
The convention was also highlighted by biennial elections, with current leadership receiving overwhelming support for another term.
March for immigration rights
Day One of the convention featured an all-delegate march through the streets of the state capital in support of immigration rights. Hundreds of CFT members and supporters walked to the west steps of the state capitol building, with a stop at the Sacramento ICE Field Office. The delegation held rallies at both stops.
"We will not allow a McCarthyite environment of fear envelop our schools and communities," said CFT President Joshua Pechthalt. "We are here to show that educators and the entire community will stand together to ensure that our schools remain safe places of learning for all our students."
The event had a solid representation from the UCLA Labor Center, including Director Kent Wong and Dream Summer Coordinator Hugo Romero.
"The CFT must take the lead to fight for our immigrant students and their families in this time of crisis," Wong said. "We stand united to demand, 'Education, not deportation.'"
Added Romero: "I know what for profit detention and deportation looks like. The same private interests that profited off of my mother's misery when she was deported are now trying to profit off of privatizing education."
Early Childhood Federation of Teachers president Gloria Garcia spoke on the Capitol steps.
"Approximately 90% of the families we serve are immigrants. Since the new presidential administration came in, we have begun to witness fear in our young students," Garcia said. "One said to his teacher, do you know who Trump is? The teacher responded, yes. Then the little boy said, Trump wants to send my parents back to Mexico, and I am not going to see them again."
Added Gemma Abels, president, Morgan Hill Federation of Teachers: "Imagine the bravery it takes for a family to come here not knowing the language and without job prospects. We extol a lot of different acts of courage. Why don't we celebrate the bravery a family must have to cross our borders? One of my students' worst fears were realized when his father was deported back to Mexico. Every day he sat in class, trying to concentrate on school while wondering when he would see his dad again."
Fabrizio Sasso, Executive Director of the Sacramento Central Labor Council; and Los Rios College Federation of Teachers President Dean Murakami also spoke at the rally.
Speaking up & speaking out
The 2017 keynote speaker was environmentalist and philanthropist Tom Steyer, who spoke about resisting Trump's policies. "I am obsessed with refuting their lies, and taking a moral high ground," Steyer said. "Tony Thurmond, who represents Northern California's 15th Assembly District (which includes East Bay communities that stretch along the I-80 corridor from Oakland to Hercules) and chairs the Assembly Committee on Labor and Employment, also gave a rousing speech, calling education as "the great equalizer." Former Senate Pro Tem and current Mayor of Sacramento Darrell Steinberg, State Senator Richard Pan and AFT Secretary-Treasurer Loretta Johnson were also warmly received.
Some of the most poignant remarks came from CFT leaders and members themselves. In his annual State of the Union address, President Joshua Pechthalt spoke of recent victories, from Prop 55 to combating the ACCJC, as well as challenges ahead. "Trump's election represents an unprecedented threat to public education," Pechthalt said. "The confirmation of Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education ensures that the Trump administration will not only move a privatization agenda, it will likely go beyond what any Republican or Democratic administration has attempted before." Read President Pechthalt's entire State of the Union address here.
One of the most invigorating moments of the convention came at the conclusion of Council President Rico Tamayo's K-12 Division Recap. In considering the challenges that labor faces in the coming months and years, Tamayo led a rousing sing-along to Gloria Gaynor's disco hit "I Will Survive."
Resolutions and policy
Delegates took action on 23 policy resolutions on topics ranging from community schools to immigrant rights. Highlights include Resolution 1, calling for CFT to provide assistance to members about immigration enforcement; Resolution 14, calling to reclaim the promise of racial equity for Black males in California; and Resolution 13, calling for support of AROS and the statewide day of action on May 1.
Dozens of workshops on Friday and Saturday, led by CFT leaders and staff and outside experts brought educational policy and labor issues before the attendees. Popular topics included "Climate Justice 101: How to Talk About the Climate Crisis with Students and Members," "The Many Facets of Fascism" and "The New Friedrichs Cases and the Steps CFT is Taking to Prepare." Friday's "Labor History and Resistance in the Time of Trump" workshop had 80 people in attendance.
Meetings, reports, awards
In addition to the statewide union, four division councils of CFT met; Secretary Treasurer Jeffery Freitas delivered a report on the union's finances; communications awards were handed out in an entertaining presentation by CFT staff Jane Hundertmark and Kevin Cronin; the Legislator of the Year award was bestowed upon Assemblymemembers Kevin McCarty and Phil Ting; Melinda Dart of Daly City's Jefferson Elementary received the Women in Education Award; and former President of the San Jose/Evergreen Federation of Teachers David Yancey received the Ben Rust Award, CFT's highest honor.
Delegates overwhelming elected the Unity Slate, led by CFT President Joshua Pechthalt and Secretary-Treasurer Jeff Freitas. Lacy Barnes returns as Senior Vice President.

At the Leadership Conference, California's top legislative leaders confirmed their stance defending our state's progressive values and union members learned CFT's legislative and political priorities for the coming year — all this amidst the national backdrop of a massive movement to reject the most unqualified nominee ever for U.S. Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos.
Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Paramount) kicked off the event, saying, "We're working hard to represent the progressive values we have always represented. We're not in Kansas, right? We're California, we're taking care of our kids and our progressive values. We're defending our state."
Rendon said the state has retained the Covington law firm where the former U.S. Attorney General practices law. "Eric Holder is working with us to make sure we know what we can do with the federal government and how we can fight back, and California Attorney General Xavier Becerra is working to make sure services for families remain first-rate."
CFT members heard from Rendon and Sen. Bill Monning (D-Carmel) who reiterated the Speaker's commitment and hit on topics ranging from the DeVos nomination, saying, "We now have people who are not going to be champions for public education," to President Trump's immigration ban.
"Trump signed an executive order that probably has a more profound effect on us here in California. What it does is systematically allow for the deportation of anyone who has been charged with a crime, or even a chargeable offense, without the due process right to a hearing."
To defend immigrant rights, Monning said, "The Senate passed a bill to provide representation to undocumented immigrants."
Throughout the two-day politics and policy summit, CFT members had the opportunity to attend skill-building workshops such as organizing and in another track, learn about key policy issues facing the Federation.
On Wednesday night, members were able to talk one-on-one with their elected representatives at a union-sponsored reception in the State Capitol. (See photos on Facebook)
On Thursday morning, attendees fanned out across the Capitol in dozens of meetings with legislators and their aides to promote the legislative agenda CFT will be putting forward this year. CFT is currently working to place several union-sponsored bills in the Legislature.
An AFT representative encouraged attendees to visit a new AFT website AllinAFT.org to find talking points on the Affordable Healthcare Act and Trump nominees, as well as draft resolutions for locally elected boards, petitions and postcards. The hashtag for social media is #AFTallin.

On the Friday before Martin Luther King Junior day, I asked my fifth-graders if they knew why we had the day off. One suggested, "To celebrated MLK's birthday."
To be honest, for a ten-year-old that wasn't bad.
"No," another piped in, "It's cuz he fought for blacks' rights."
"Good and you're 100 percent correct." I replied. Let's call the child who piped up with that answer Isaiah. He's perceptive and often sees the big picture.
I thought it would be appropriate to show a short clip on both Martin Luther King, Jr.'s accomplishments, and his struggles. Not many of the kids knew he had been stabbed or that his house had been bombed.
The same film showed the iconic footage of police dogs being set upon blacks and of high-pressure water cannons hosing protesters. Rosa Parks was mentioned and the famous bus boycott. My kids made shocked noises now and then. I also viewed a short clip about his assassination.
I mentioned that when I was a kid my mom took me from Connecticut to Florida on a train and that once we hit the South, bathrooms clearly stated WHITE or COLORED. I honestly told them I was way too young to remember it.
Isaiah raised his hand, "Were you a racist?"
There was no malice, no wise guy intent in his question. Every child watched me with their predominantly Latino/Latina eyes. Isaiah is a brilliant, great kid. A high-level thinker. He just put the facts together and made a logical conclusion. Our teacher is Anglo. Anglos were racist. He lived then, therefore he must have been a racist.
The quick response out of my mouth was, "No, of course not." And then I thought, This child has just dared to ask you a question from his heart. A question, if a teacher had a thin skin, might have gone the wrong way.
"Isaiah, you make me happy. You always ask good questions. You just made me re-think my answer. "Yes, Isaiah. I'm sorry to say when I think about it, my family and I were ignorant and racist sometimes. I think I'm not any more."
One of my girls said, "That's why you teach us huh?"
"Yes, I'd like to think so."
Another one piped in, "And your wife is Korean."
Wow, they're defending ME! Man, I love these kids.
"You know what? We are having recess a couple of minutes early."
A shout of communal joy rang out and I dismissed them. I thought my moral lesson for the day had been learned, but I was wrong. One girl hung back, waiting until all the kids left.
"Mr. Karrer, Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot right?"
"You ever been shot?"
Her eyes plumbed my depths, "No."
"My dad was shot. He's in prison now. Elissa's dad was shot too. He's dead you know."
"Yes, I knew about her dad."
She smiled, "See you after recess." Then put her books in her backpack and left me alone in the room with much to ponder.
San Francisco—One thing for certain about Congresswoman Jackie Speier: she is consistent. On November 28 at a City College of San Francisco (CCSF) forum that she organized and hosted, the Bay Area Congresswoman sang the praises of the largest community college in California. She also made clear that no matter what the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) decides in its January meeting about CCSF, she will do everything in her power to keep the school open and serving its tens of thousands of students.
|From right, state senator-elect Scott Weiner, Assemblymember Phil Ting, Congresswoman Jackie Speier, and Speier staff Bryan Perkins, at the City College of San Francisco forum called by the Congresswoman on November 28. Fred Glass photo
To bolster that message, she brought along several other elected officials (Assemblymember Phil Ting, State Senator-elect Scott Weiner, and president of the CCSF Board of Trustees Rafael Mandelman), and a group of City College faculty and students led by AFT 2121 president Tim Killikelly, to present the case. College of San Mateo president Mike Claire rounded out the presenters.
The presentation took place before a packed audience of several hundred at the Diego Rivera Theater. The forum's structure, including statements of support by the elected officials, and testimony from the classrooms of several revered City College occupational programs detailing their importance to San Francisco businesses, looked like a streamlined echo of a forum held during the height of the school's accreditation crisis a couple years ago. That hearing was likewise steered by Speier, and she also signed on to a letter sent by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi last September asking the US Secretary of Education to "delist" the ACCJC as an accreditor.
Speier called ACCJC's actions in attempting to shut down the college "reprehensible, and in no way supported by the facts." She cited the finding of a joint Legislative Audit Committee that the commission had treated CCSF in a fashion inconsistent with its treatment of other colleges, and reminded the audience that the decision had been found illegal by a San Francisco Superior Court judge.
Ting emphasized the long list of local, state, and federal government officials, agencies and taskforces that had condemned the commission. He stated his intent to keep all these institutions aligned not only to the purpose of keeping the college open, but to help California transition to a new accreditor, as called for by the state Chancellor's task force last year and supported by the state Board of Governors.
Tim Killikelly stressed that the ACCJC's action in creating a special new "restoration status" without due process was illegal, and will not stand up in court if the Commission attempts to shutter the college again.
Following presentations by representatives of the Diagnostic Medical Imaging program, the Bridge to Biotech program, the Speech and Debate team, and the Diversity Collaborative-Latin American Studies Department, Speier led a discussion with the crowd.
Throughout the Golden State, for the past several weeks, CFT members, leaders, and staff plunged into the election campaign with the intensity that comes from knowing first hand what was at stake.
"Anyone working in public education during the Great Recession a few years ago remembers what that was like for our students, our schools, and our colleagues," said CFT president Joshua Pechthalt. "No one wanted to find ourselves in that situation or anything remotely like it again." This was the reason why CFT's first priority was Prop 55, and we have reason to celebrate that victory today.
Prop 55 gives public education the breathing space to continue to recover from years of cuts and underfunding, and with the 4 - 9 billion dollars in revenues per year coming from the richest Californians, it also helps address the core social problem of economic inequality.
At the same time, the national political scene has just experienced a tectonic shift. Pechthalt, in a message to members, said, "Rough night! I still can't wrap my head around the notion that Donald Trump was elected President."
We took heart from the election of Kamala Harris as the first African American woman Senator from California. As a daughter of immigrants, her election represents a triumph of our country's best values in an election clouded by misogyny, xenophobia and racism.
Within the confines of California
If you look strictly within the confines of California, it was a pretty good night for CFT, public education, and the issues that our members care about. Six of nine ballot measures we endorsed passed, including Prop 58, which repealed the xenophobic Prop 227 that banned bilingual education.
In California state Senate races, ten of CFT's endorsed candidates won, four lost, and one race remains too close to call. In Assembly races, 46 of 56 candidates endorsed by CFT won. And in California's Congressional delegation, 29 of 36 CFT-endorsed candidates won.
[See all results on the Secretary of State's website.]
Especially important to note is that a number of state legislative races, and some school board races as well, were overwhelmed with massive political contributions from the California Charter Schools Association, which has become a funnel for the efforts of "education reform" billionaires to expand charter schools and repel efforts to make charters operate more transparently and fairly. More than $24 million was spent by the CCSA in this election cycle. If it is true that "they have the money, but we have the people," that notion will be put to the test in the next round of elections. A welcome exception to the losses in several of these races was the come from behind victory of Ash Kalra in Santa Clara over CCSA-backed Madison Nguyen.
Local races
Our members' boots were on the ground in too many cities to cover them all here. Here are a few highlights.
San Francisco: In addition to electing a majority to the San Francisco Board of Education, United Educators of San Francisco, AFT Local 61, celebrated the ouster of the most anti-union board member. AFT Local 2121, representing faculty in the community college district, helped steer a parcel tax extension to victory, and ditto the progressive Prop W, which, through a modest increase in a transfer tax on ultra-luxury properties that sell for more than $5 million, will make City College of San Francisco tuition-free.
Across the bay, the Peralta Community College District Board of Trustees welcomed a new member, Karen Weinstein, courtesy of strong precinct walking and phone banking efforts by the Peralta Federation of Teachers. The Berkeley Federation of Teachers carried Measure E1 to victory, extending a parcel tax that brings in nearly a quarter of the Berkeley Unified School District's budget.
A few miles south of San Francisco, the Jefferson Elementary Federation of Teachers, AFT Local 3267—with the support of Jefferson High School Federation, AFT Local 1481—pushed a parcel tax across the finish line in Daly City, marking the first time the area's working class voters agreed to dig into their properties to augment school funding, with a spectacular 75% "yes" vote.
The two unions, with strong support from the San Mateo Labor Council, also worked on winning High School Board and City Council races. Says Local 3267 president Melinda Dart, "This, along with passing Prop 55, shows that people in Daly City really support their schools. The candidates we elected to both the High School board and City Council are also solid supporters." One new council member attended Melinda's elementary school, and the other has four kids in the district. The two locals also defeated a couple of charter school proponents.
The San Jose Evergreen Federation of Teachers, AFT Local 6147, supported three incumbent trustees, and all were returned to office. The local also worked to pass a college bond measure, which passed with 66% of the vote (it needed 55%).
In San Diego, AFT Local 1931, representing faculty at the SDCCD, ran the largest Prop 55 phone bank operation in the city, with members and student interns calling thousands of union members and other voters, contributing to a 59% margin for the ballot measure in a conservative area. The phone bank also called about the winning Measure K, which moved city elections to November when more people can vote, and got union-endorsed Mary Graham elected to the SDCCD Board of Trustees.
In all, more than thirty CFT locals hosted phone banks, contacting thousands of CFT members about Prop 55 and other local priorities.
Summing up his view of next steps in a message to members, CFT President Pechthalt said, "Our task, once we have taken a deep breath, and reassured our children and our students that as Martin Luther King said, "the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice", is to organize and build the progressive movement. This is no less our task if Trump or Hilary Clinton were elected president. The conditions under which we operate will be very different but our job is the same. So hang in there, hug your kids, spouse, friends and dog. We will get through this. It may be rough but we are going to make it."

This paper evaluates the existing criteria for predicting the transition to turbulence in natural convection adjacent to a vertical surface. We have conducted an experiment that establishes the point of transition in mercury by means of both hot-film anemometry and local heat transfer measurements. These results confirm the claim of Bejan and Lage that the Grashof number correlates transition data better than the Rayleigh number. We have also concluded that the laminar-turbulent transition in liquid metals as well as regular fluids occurs in the vicinity of Grx =109 . Furthermore, we show that the E parameter suggested by Gebhart and his co-workers for predicting the onset of transition, when appropriately modified, yields a criterion that depends on the Grashof number alone.

True benevolence is the result of inner change
The divine design for financing the "work of the ministry" is "internal participation." The members of many religious organizations seem to have forgotten the divine principle. The early church applied the eternal design and found that the plan really worked.
The early believers in Jesus Christ of Nazareth were not readily accepted by the religious leaders of the Jewish nation. Not only were these people met with the physical problems that plagued the whole area, but they were, further, subjected to resistance from the economic system.
When a person would become known as one of the "people of the/that way," they would, often, lose their jobs, or their business would be boycotted. This extra financial burden would/did take its toll on families of true believers. This problem was made known to believers in other areas of the Roman Empire. He, Apostle Paul, began an effort to gather finances to help ease this pain of the group in Jerusalem.
In his first letter to the church of Corinth, Paul made direct reference to the "offering" for these suffering believers. "Now concerning the collection (gathering) for the saints, as I have given order (as an appointment, charge) to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye." 1 Corinthians 16:1.
The orderliness of this "collection" is important. "Upon the first day of the week let every one (i.e., each) of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come." 1 Corinthians 16:2.
The apostle expressed confidence in the carrying out of this request" - And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality (gift; bounty) unto Jerusalem." 1 Corinthians 16:3.
Time has a way of dimming the fervor of the moment. The apostle was aware of this human trait. He wrote a second letter to the church in the prosperous city of Corinth. In the meantime, Paul had visited the churches in the area of Macedonia.
This area of the country of Greece had met with both financial and political problems. Yet, these impoverished believers accepted responsibility for helping the believers in Jerusalem.
Paul uses these people as examples of the faithfulness of a committed heart. He wrote, "I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things." 2 Corinthians 7:16.
The apostle expressed his confidence in a direct manner, "Moreover, brethren, we do to wit (exercise courage to make known) of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia; How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality (sincerity). For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing (of one's own accord) of themselves; Praying (beseeching) us with much entreaty (appeal) that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering (service) to the saints." 2 Corinthians 8:1-4.
From this portion and others, it seems as if the Macedonian believers we really "begging" Paul to receive their gift. Yes, the apostle knew the individual financial struggles of the members of that congregation.
He must have attempted to refuse their offering — knowing their personal need. Yet, these believers had developed such a "love for the brethren," that no sacrifice would seem too great.
The apostle, further, explained to the Corinthians. "And this they did, not as we hoped, but first (first in order) gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will (desire) of God." 2 Corinthians 8:5.
The apostle turned his thoughts to the divine gift that has been given to all mankind the Lord Jesus Christ. As Paul reflected on all of the glories of heaven the home of the son of God that were abandoned by our Lord, the "gifts" that we would give for the spreading of the gospel pales in comparison. He reminded those first readers and us.
"For I know the grace (gift) of our lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye might through his poverty (to become destitute) might be rich." 2 Corinthians 8:9.
The former Pharisee reminded these believers, "And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward (willing) a year ago.
Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will (of being willing), so there may be a performance (completeness) also out of that which he have (possess)." 2 Corinthians 8:10, 11. There is a principle that has been established for all giving. "For if (Note: conditional) there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man (he) hath (possesses), and not according to that he hath not." 2 Corinthians 8:12.
As the apostle continued his exhortation, he returned to the faithfulness of the Macedonians. 2 Corinthians 9:1, 2. He addressed the present congregation in a direct manner. "But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall also reap sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap bountifully.
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly (regret), or of necessity (what must need be): for God loveth a cheerful giver." 2 Corinthians 9: 6, 7.
The thought of "giving to receive" is not taught in scripture. However, there are spiritual rewards for those who give from a willing heart.
The "return" is not always in the "present financial currency," but can come in many forms spiritual blessings; peace of mind, family unity; comfort in sorrow, etc. Paul wrote, "And God is able (has the power) to make all grace abound toward you; that ye always having all sufficiency (enough) in all things may abound in every good work.
Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth (to work out) through us thanksgiving into God." 2 Corinthians 9: 8, 11.
It is important to remember that benevolence is not the "cause" of personal salvation from the eternal consequences of sin, but the result of the inner change brought about by the grace of God. May we all be faithful in our service to the King of kings, and Lord of lords!

Hot off the "I Have A Dream" Foundation presses:
"Fifth graders in the "I Have A Dream" program at Columbine Elementary recently started volunteering at Frasier Meadows, helping senior citizens with fun group activities, like drum circle and card games. The Dreamer Scholars also help residents return to their rooms after the activities.
"I Have A Dream" program services include more than just academic support. We help kids learn about the impact of service to their community. We want them to know they can make a difference in their world.
Dreamer Scholars say the experience has been wonderful. Selena says, "Volunteering is amazing. The people are funny and nice. They tell us cool stories about the past." Ashley says, "I felt nervous at first but then I got used to it. It's good that we go there to care for them…so seniors don't get lonely."
Connect with a Dreamer Scholar yourself–become a volunteer mentor!"

For women, the purple G-Swirl is hot at $89, the vibrator has a curved tip Fleshlight fucking to target the G-spot, ridges to stimulate the vaginal walls, and bumps on the outside to rub the clit. As one person goes faster, the other vibrator responds, making for a completely personalized experience and natural fleshlight fucking simulation. You also get an autographed postcard and a free 2 oz bottle of Gun Oil H20, personal lubricant. They were more interested in a labor-saving device to spare their own hands the fatigue caused by treating female hysteria. They often dont seem to be enjoying themselves, and I, too, wonder why they go there. The STU has fleshlight fucking been described as feeling like little fingers tickling your penis in an unbelievably intense way. Talk about a hot piece of Canadian bacon. We understand that there are some difficult moneyless moments is Fleshlight fucking everybodys life. Electricity gave women vibrators, but ironically, within a few decades, electricity almost took the devices away from them. I think the men are having way more fun than the women in the audience are, because they get to grab and touch everything with no holds barred. So the sex maniac, you know, thats kind of the extreme. The official website, the fleshlight fucking instructional videos, even the toy design itself screams polish. These fleshlights gives you an another level of fleshlight fucking sexual sensation. Created by CiTouch com, the update is not an official Fleshlight release, but Fleshlight customer relations manager Todd Porter approves of it.

Every day life is becoming more frantic and demanding, so there might be small uncertainty that this tensions and stresses in your system will also be increasing each and every day. It can be of little shock that most people are plagued with constant niggles, aches and pains. Certainly, some sad individuals are required to go through their discomfort in silence, looking to reside a life which is as standard as you can. Needless to say, since most individuals will not find themselves in this case, they possibly give almost no thought or maybe no believed whatsoever towards the tensions and stresses that the body will take day-to-day. That will likely carry on right up until some sort of entire body discomfort strikes, and from that time on, pain gets to be a very genuine and important consideration in their life. Some forms of discomfort are significantly less significant than others, and many types of ache will appear and disappear. Nevertheless, not every ache grievances can be so very easily dismissed and between those that are most frequently noticed and painfully suffered is arthrolon.
It can be estimated that involving 50 – 80 zillion US inhabitants are afflicted by constant discomfort (described as a pain that has lasted for more than 6 months), and that this costs over 100 billion in societal charges every year. Back pain is among the most common reasons behind men and women visiting their physician or doctor. Indeed, it really has been predicted that up to several out from every five individuals in the world will need to check with a medical professional sooner or later in their lives having a back pain issue. Should you have never endured back pain, it is actually possible they can sympathize with individuals who are standard sufferers, however it is improbable that they could genuinely take pleasure in the level of suffering and pain that back pain brings.
Only a fellow back pain patient can genuinely sympathize and empathize with some other sufferers who have been stricken with a related problem to their own. Also, it is related to be aware that the occurrence of constant back pain problems is on the raise, and that we now have most likely more sufferers at present than there have been at any earlier amount of time in historical past. However, 1 indisputable truth is that whoever has ever suffered from back pain, or (a whole lot worse) proceeds to achieve this is aware just how much misery and enduring the problem may bring. These individuals would do most situations to try to get a no-intrusive treatment method or remedy for their situation. As with any medical problem, it can be less hazardous and so more suitable to manage back pain inside an organic way if you can, and that is the key subject with this Report.

Rowland S Howard: Pop Crimes
Rowland S Howard's death in December hasn't provided a posthumous push, and you'll have to google hard to snag his final album. Alongside Nick Cave in the Birthday Party, Howard's swampland licks, burnished with industrial-sheet-metal sheen, shaped the voodoo punk of the late-1970s Australian scene. His second, long-delayed solo album applies this trademark sound to more mature material. The deliciously sleazy lead-off track, (I Know) A Girl Called Johnny, equals the classy pop of Howard's heroes Lee Hazlewood and Shadow Morton, and Talk Talk's fatalistic anthem Life's What You Make It is recast as a crawling-snake blues with an unintended resonance.

Over the past two weeks we have seen a number of reports of "Aw, Snap!" crashes across certain long-running pages in Spaces and our Classic interface.
This issue was introduced and/or significantly exacerbated by the release of Chrome v44. We've been working with the Chromium team to help them reproduce and find a fix. The good news is this helped identify a long running memory issue with clearing dead objects in V8. The fix has now been applied to head V8.
If you are being affected by these crashes, we suggest you temporarily switch long-running pages to using Firefox or another alternate browser. If you prefer Chrome and don't mind living on the edge this issue appears to be fixed already in Chrome Canary.
We expect the fix for this issue to be released as part of the next stable patch release for Chrome.
UPDATE: The fix for this issue was released with Chrome v45.
If you have additional questions about this issue, we're happy to answer them. Reach out to us at email@example.com.

Troop 41 History
Cub Scouting is part of the Scouting program of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), available to boys from Kindergarten through fifth grade, or 6 to 11½ years of age and their families. Its membership is the largest of the three BSA divisions (Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, and Venturing). Cub Scouting is part of the worldwide Scouting movement and aims to promote character development, citizenship training, and personal fitness.
The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) is one of the largest youth organizations in the United States, with more than 2.4 million youth members and nearly one million adult volunteers. Since its founding in 1910 as part of the international Scout Movement, more than 110 million Americans have been at some point members of the BSA.
The BSA's goal is to train youth in responsible citizenship, character development, and self-reliance through participation in a wide range of outdoor activities, educational programs, and, at older age levels, career-oriented programs in partnership with community organizations. For younger members, the Scout method is part of the program to inculcate typical Scouting values such as trustworthiness, good citizenship, and outdoors skills, through a variety of activities such as camping, aquatics, and hiking.

News and Press Release - Dated:- 11-7-2018 - The case primarily concerned access to upstream LPG terminalling infrastructure at Vishakhapatnam Port, which comprises several components viz. unloading arms at the jetty, blender, heat exchanger and cavern (storage facility). This infrastructure,being operated by SALPG,is used for handling imports of propane and butane and their blending into LPG. East India Petroleum Pvt. Ltd. (EIPL) filed an information with CCI under Section 19(1)(a) of the Competition Act, 2002 (Act) alleging that while allowing it to use the blender, SALPG has been insisting on mandatory use of cavern. This resulted inpaying significant charges to SALPG. The OMCs were thus not finding the LPG terminalling services offered by EIPL economically viable and were constrained to avail the terminalling services offered by SALPG only. To address this, EIPL first proposed to use the blender of SALPG and thereafter, take the output directly to the cross-country pipeline, bypas

if using an internet map, search for the 'Bike Depot 10a Carlton Road, Worksop S80 1PH'.
Carlton Road (south bound)
Head south from the railway, down Carlton Road. If driving, there is a carpark opposite Halfords that is relatively cheap.
Continue past Halfords until you reach the alley, pictured on the right.
Turn into the alley, towards the 'Bike Depot' and follow around to the right, and you will see the Old Stable Block....
Carlton Road (North bound)
If heading from the town centre, head north down Carlton Road and look for the alley pictured above. If you reach the Vine pub on your left, you have just missed the alley on your right. If you reach Halfords, turn around and follow the directions above. Short stay parking is also available at Matalan, at the junction leading up Carlton Road.

|Renaissance Zendala featuring Kisses by Adele Bruno, CZT
I posted this Zendala in 2015 on the eve of publishing my Kisses tangle, a tribute to Milton Hershey. (The step out for Kisses can be found here on my blog and here on TanglePatterns.)
I made a note that day that it also marked the publication of my 500th post.
This week, three years later, my posts here on Tickled to Tangle have eclipsed 1,000.
What better way to celebrate than with a bit of chocolate.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The opioid crisis in America is quickly growing, but one solution could come at a snail's pace.
University of Utah researchers are looking to a poison in some snails to solve part of the problem.
It could work for Danielle Griffith.
"I've had a headache every day of my life since 2002."
Chronic pain after a car accident forced her to be home-bound.
"I hurt, I hurt, I hurt," she said. "It affects you not only physically, but mentally as well."
University of Utah professor Michael McIntosh and his team found that a compound, that venom cone snails use to hunt, targets pain pathways after a nerve injury.
"What we've discovered is a compound that if you administer it at the time of injury of a nerve, not only helps to treat the pain, but accelerates the functional recovery of that nerve," explained Dr. McIntosh, who is also a medical director at the Salt Lake City Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
Cone snails are a group of marine snails that can be found in tropical seas and oceans around the world, but some live in more temperate habitats such as the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, the waters around Southern California, or even the southern cape of South Africa. Their highly specialized teeth work like a combination of hypodermic needles and harpoons to skewer and poison its prey.
Dr. McIntosh says pain relief lasted for weeks in animals tests.
His research shows the compound may reduce nerve injury that causes chronic pain. That's good news for folks like Danielle, who took opioids for her pain.
"Yes, you may get the pain to be managed for a couple or few hours, but that`s it. it comes back."
They know cone snails at Utah's Loveland Living Planet Aquarium. They're not surprised a solution may come from the sea.
"It's important to save the ocean, not just for answers like this, but answers to questions we haven't even thought of asking yet," said Brent Bardsley, public programs manager at the Aquarium.
NEW RESEARCH: University of Utah researchers are investigating natural solutions to treat chronic pain. They have discovered a compound in the venom of cone snails that may be the answer. This compound targets pain pathways after a nerve injury, and when administered to the nerve at the time of injury not only does it help treat the pain but it accelerates the functional recovery of that nerve. It has been animal- tested and results have shown pain relief lasted for weeks. Their research shows the compound may even reduce the nerve injury that causes chronic pain. The many pieces of cone snail have thousands of compounds in their venom that could potentially treat other diseases as well. The researchers are hopeful their studies could keep acute pain from evolving into chronic pain, thus reducing the need for opioids. The plan to move into human trials may begin in the next couple of years.
Dr. McIntosh says the many species of cone snail have thousands of compounds in their venom that could potentially treat disease.
