Ucore Closes First Tranche
of Convertible Debenture Financing
Halifax, Nova Scotia – May 22, 2020 — Ucore Rare Metals Inc. ("Ucore" or the "Company") (TSXV:UCU) (OTCQX:UURAF) is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of its $2.8 million non-brokered private placement (the "Financing") of unsecured convertible debentures ("Convertible Debentures"), as previously announced on April 27, 2020. The Company currently intends to close the remainder of the Financing on May 29, 2020.
Pursuant to the closing of the first tranche, the Company issued 1,280 Convertible Debentures at a price of $1,000 per debenture for gross proceeds totalling $1.28 million. The Convertible Debentures bear interest at a rate of 7.5%, payable semi-annually on the last day of May and November of each year, commencing on November 30, 2020 and have a three-year term (the "Term"), with the principal amount being due to be repaid in full by the Company on May 31, 2023 (the "Maturity Date").
In addition to annual interest at a rate of 7.5%, the Company paid to each initial holder of Convertible Debentures a one-time commitment fee comprised of 500 commitment warrants ("Commitment Warrants") per Convertible Debenture. Each Commitment Warrant entitles its holder to acquire one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") at an exercise price of $0.18 per Common Share for a period of 24 months.
At any time during the Term, a holder of Convertible Debentures may elect to convert the outstanding net principal amount, or any portion thereof, into units ("Units") at a conversion price of $0.12 per Unit (the "Conversion Price"). Each Unit shall consist of one Common Share and one-half of a warrant ("Warrant"), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder to acquire a Common Share at an exercise price of $0.18 for a period ending on the Maturity Date.
The outstanding principal amount of each Convertible Debenture will automatically be converted into Units at the Conversion Price ($0.12) if the Common Shares trade at a closing price of $0.22 or more on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") for 20 consecutive trading days. During the third year of the Term, the Company shall have the option to extend the Term by up to one additional year. If extended, then the Company shall pay a cash extension fee to the holders of Convertible Debentures in the amount of six month's interest.
The issuance of the Convertible Debentures and the Commitment Warrants pursuant to the first tranche of the Financing were (and, if applicable, the Units and any underlying Common Shares and Warrants shall be) completed on a private placement and prospectus exempt basis, as applicable, such that the issuances are (or in the case of the Units and any underlying Common Shares and Warrants, shall be) exempt from any applicable prospectus and securities registration requirements. No finder's fees or commissions were paid in connection with the first tranche of the Financing.
Pursuant to National Instrument 45-102 – Resale of Securities, the Convertible Debentures, the Commitment Warrants and any underlying Units, Common Shares or Warrants to be issued upon conversion or exchange of these securities will be subject to a four-month hold period commencing on the closing date. Additional hold periods and/or trading or resale restrictions may also apply in the United States.
No insiders or related parties of Ucore participated in the first tranche of the Financing.
The closing of the Financing and issuance of the Convertible Debentures is conditional on the final approval of the TSXV.

In my three years at EMU, I've seen some wonderful theatre. But, the current main stage production, "Little Shop of Horrors," is the best show I've seen here, hands down.
Júlia Miyahara, a freshman majoring in international affairs, said, "I really like this musical, because it touches on a lot of real-life issues like poverty and domestic violence… I had very high expectations for this production, and it exceeded them by a lot."
The show is somewhat paradoxical – on one hand, it's a frothy, entertaining and stylized show with catchy Motown music, while on the other, it's a dark, grim, sometimes scary look at the lengths people will go to in order to get what they want.
But even the grim moments are delivered in ways that mock the horror genre. Even after the ominous ending, I was smiling and even laughing when the lights went up.
Normally, I'd mention particular standouts in the cast, but everyone was uniformly excellent. Nick Whittaker shines as the meek Seymour, with just the right amount of passion beneath his timid exterior. Kasey Donnelly is a perfect Audrey – poignant, vulnerable and sweet - and she and Whittaker have tremendous energy onstage together.
Matt Wallace is a delightful and often creepy (in a good way) scene-stealer as Audrey's abusive dentist boyfriend, Orin Scrivello D.D.S (there's a joke in the show about needing to say the entire name, but I won't give it away), who revels in the pain of others. Wallace also plays several other small roles to great effect.
Tyler Calhoun plays the irritable Mr. Mushnik, the owner of the flower shop where Seymour and Audrey work, who is determined to capitalize on the success of Seymour's botanical discoveries. He provides much of the comic relief in the show.
So does Nick Brown, who provides the dark, bewitching voice of Audrey II, the plant that takes advantage of Seymour in order to gain world domination. Speaking of the plant, one of the pivotal roles in the show is divvied up among three people who we never see: Abel Diaz, Emily Gilbert and Loren Hubbs are the puppeteers who helped tell the story with their effortless manipulation of every stem and tendril of the huge Audrey II puppet.
Kristin McSweeney, Kayla Younkin and Sydney Assalley are absolute perfection as the three urchin "narrators," providing the Greek chorus and moral compass of the show. Each one shines vocally, and proves themselves very capable of the doo-wop backup singer dance moves of the 60's.
Speaking of dance moves, director/choreographer Phil Simmons' choreography and staging never feels forced. On the contrary, each movement the actors made is natural and stylistically appropriate—although I was hoping that either Whittaker or Calhoun would dip the other at the end of their tango in "Mushnik and Sons," (easily one of the funniest number in the show.)
The seven-piece pit orchestra, led by music director, R. MacKenzie Lewis, navigate the score by Alan Menken that includes Motown music, some Klezmer and songs that sound like traditional musical theatre songs.
"'Little Shop of Horrors' is one of my favorite shows and it was really amazing to see all of the work going into this production come together to make a phenomenal show," said Nick Casella, a senior theatre major. "It really reminded me why this show is one of my favorites."
"Little Shop of Horrors" runs October 29, 30 and 31 at 7 p.m. and 10 p.m., and November 1 at 2 p.m. in Quirk Theatre.

If you were at the women's lacrosse game on Saturday, you might remember the weather — or be scarred by it.
Monsoon-like rain soaked the dedicated athletes and fans, while 25 mph winds ripped lacrosse sticks and umbrellas alike free of slippery hands.
Coming off a week of pristine practice conditions — so atypical of Providence in March — the Bears succumbed to the abrupt climate change and a dominant Princeton squad, losing the game, 16-6.
"The weather was definitely hard to play in," Alexa Caldwell '11, who led the Bears with four ground balls, two draw controls and three forced turnovers, wrote in an e-mail to The Herald. "Both teams had to make adjustments. … We were all playing in the same crappy weather."
Indeed, both teams dropped the ball more than usual, and, unfortunately for the Bears, Princeton capitalized on almost every mistake.
Though Molly McCarthy '10 and Katelyn Caro '12 gave the Bears an early 2-0 lead within five minutes of the opening draw, as the first half drew to a close, the 13th-ranked Tigers went on a five-goal run, essentially putting an end to Brown's hopes of a 3-0 home record.
"At the very end of the first half we let down on defense — had some miscommunications that resulted in a couple quick goals by Princeton," Caldwell wrote.
"That's when they took the lead for the rest of the game," she added. "I think if we hadn't let down in those last three minutes it would have been entirely different, but for the rest of the game we were fighting to clear that deficit."
Despite the 10-goal loss, the Bears are eager — and confident — for a rematch.
"Coming into the game we all knew it would be a fight, and we wanted to strike first — which we did," said offensive standout Caro, who scored twice. "We had the effort and the fight the whole game, we just didn't put all the pieces together."
"All we can do now is focus on what's ahead and know that we will get another shot at Princeton in the Ivy Tournament," Caro added.
Brown will need a win on Wednesday at Yale to keep hopes of the tournament alive, as only the top four of eight Ivy League teams qualify.
"I think the team is very excited to rebound from this game against Yale on Wednesday," Caldwell said. "We are on a mission to make it to the Ivy Tournament."

Farthing Downs, City of London
Interpretive Lectern Displays for Farthing Downs
Farthing Downs & New Hill, owned and managed by the City of London, is a 95 hectare (235 acre) area of chalk grassland lying within the London green belt. Farthing Downs was designated in 1975 as part of the Farthing Downs and Happy Valley Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for having the 'most extensive area of semi-natural downland habitats remaining in Greater London.
A long history of human activity has been recorded on the site with archaeological finds and features dating from the Neolithic, Iron Age and Roman periods. The site was cultivated up to the 2nd Century AD and afterwards used as pasture for grazing animals.
Rangers, contractors and volunteers manage the site so that present and future generations of visitors can enjoy the open space only a stone's throw away from London.
Project Motivation
The City of London, has long shared a vision with the local community to improve awareness of the rich history, cultural significance and wildlife value of the open space. Bearing this in mind, as well as a broader ongoing project to improve site facilities, and it became clear communication of site information would need to be enhanced.
With this in mind and in conjunction with project partners, The Friends of Farthing Downs and the Old Surrey Downs Project, they began investigating potential providers. Keen to work with a company able to offer a full service from research and design through to manufacture, Fitzpatrick Woolmer were appointed.
Fitzpatrick Woolmer's solution involved a suite of 5 A1 semi-seasoned oak Musketeer™ lectern displays, in addition to a semi-seasoned oak ladder sign. Each lectern would provide interpretation about one of the key aspects of the site e.g. its rich heritage, its nature and wildlife and links to the City of London. From researching to copywriting, illustration and hand-drawn watercolour illustrative mapping, Fitzpatrick Woolmer developed the displays from scratch, to create a range of engaging and informative high quality oak displays.

I think that at the end of Post Something (PS) that if I were to do a search for the words "I'm tired." I think it's going to be at least a 3rd of all my posts.
The closest I can get to a similar configuration from Apple would be $3,470.10 – Thanks to the miracle of Amazon Prime (even speeding up shipping to 1 day) I paid: $833.17. And it works. Actually looking at a 3rd SSD (when one is on sale) to triple boot if I can wing it, Windows 10, Ubuntu 16.04, and El Capitan!
This day isn't over, just taking a brief break as I dig into a server or three, so far speed has been amazing, hadn't realized how laggy things were until I started rolling things out, I'll get a few shots of it once I get things cleaned up as right now I rushed this in as the laptop was having issues – random reboots, lockups, app crashes, etc. So fresh feels good. Going lean-ish too not installing every app out there.
I hope to get in a little sleep this weekend, body has been hurting lately, just go go go, stress stress stress. Kidneys are having a rough time and limbs just don't like pushing forward anymore. So for now, Goodnight. (I hope soon!)

Ahhh. Thank you. I pay zero attention to motorcycle marketing. And little attention to other marketing. Once in a while I drool over pictures of a new bike. Then I see it in person and am disappointed. The Ducati Hypermotard did that to me.
And as I type this I see Evergreens response that says "I am talking about this particular ad..." which further confuses things. What ad? I see a lot of white space under your post. Am I supposed to be seeing an ad, there?

The hopelessness of the Turkish Government should make me witness with delight its being swept out of the countries which it tortures. Next to the Ottoman Government nothing can be more deplorable and blameworthy than jealousies between Greek and Slav and plans by the States already existing for appropriating other territory. Why not Macedonia for the Macedonians as well as Bulgaria for the Bulgarians and Serbia for the Serbians?
Let us not allow the splits and splintering to frighten us. It is, indeed, a pity, but what can we do, since we are Bulgarians and all suffer from one common disease. If this disease had not been present in our ancestors, from whom we inherited it, they would have never fallen under the sceptre of the Turkish Sultan...gotse delchev
How could a person forget about the plains, the meadows, watered with the blood of our forefathers; abandon those places where Turkish raiders had hidden their steeds for a full four hundred years, with our mosques, our tombs, our dervish retreats, our bridges and our castles, to leave them to our slaves, to be driven out of Rumelia to Anatolia: this was beyond a person's endurance. I am prepared to gladly sacrifice the remaining years of my life to take revenge on the Bulgarians, the Greeks, and the Montenegrans.İsmail enver
"The opening of the doors to 29 million Romanians and Bulgarians is going to become a huge issue."nigel farage
The province of Thessalonica (Saloniki) had, together with Greece, been awarded to the warlike Marquis Boniface of Montferrat with the royal title. It comprised the greater part of ancient Macedonia and Boniface carried his victorious arms into Greece, where he everywhere divided the conquered territories among his knights; but having perished in a skirmish with the Bulgarians, in 1207, his kingdom was invaded by the Greek despot, Theodore of Epirus who was received with open arms by the Greeks, and crowned emperor at Thessalonica in 1222.
...and Uskub, the great majority of the population is Slavic, [...] the middle ages until 1913 called themselves and were called by their neighbors Bulgarians.
The obviously plagiarized historical argument of the Macedonian nationalists for a separate Macedonian ethnicity could be supported only by linguistic reality, and that worked against them until the 1940s. Until a modern Macedonian literary language was mandated by the socialist-led partisan movement from Macedonia in 1944, most outside observers and linguists agreed with the Bulgarians in considering the vernacular spoken by the Macedonian Slavs as a western dialect of Bulgarian.Dennis P. Hupchick
The political and military leaders of the Slavs of Macedonia at the turn of the century seem not to have heard Misirkov's call for a separate Macedonian national identity; they continued to identify themselves in a national sense as Bulgarians rather than Macedonians.Loring Danforth
Some will ask why I speak of breaking away from the Bulgarians when in the past we have even called ourselves Bulgarians and when it is generally accepted that unification creates strength, and not separation.
We are Bulgarians, more Bulgarians than the Bulgarians in Bulgaria themselves.
And, anyway, what sort of new Macedonian nation can this be when we and our fathers and grandfathers and great-grandfathers have always been called Bulgarians?
In Macedonia there are Greeks, Bulgarians and Turks.
When the Turks and the Bulgarians left, Macedonia remained a purely Greek region.
Despite the efforts of the post-1945 Macedonian historiography to represent Delchev as a Macedonian separatist rather than a Bulgarian nationalist, Delchev himself has stated: "...We are Bulgarians and and all suffer from one common disease [e.g., the Ottoman rule]" and "Our task is not to shed the blood of Bulgarians, of those who belong to the same people that we serve".

Amidst global challenges and economic conditions of today, APEC leaders will continue to focus on the efforts in trying to reduce inequalities and overcome trade barriers to drive growth and ensure prosperity.
Harnessing inclusive opportunities and embracing digital future was the heart of the discussions.
"This has been a very interesting subject discussed amongst APEC leaders because it is about connecting people, businesses and importantly for efficient service delivery in health, education, financial inclusion and improving transparency for growth in the region," said host Prime Minister and Chairman of the Summit, Peter O'Neill.
Prime Minister O'Neill said leaders also recognised technology disruptions within the region and noted the importance of addressing them in order to keep businesses and jobs alive.
He highlighted that while it is vital to embrace technology and its advancements, maintaining jobs is paramount.
"That is where the APEC leaders have to make decisions as countries for the coming years so that we can keep our people with jobs and at the same time, increase and develop technological changes.
"This is more so we have to ensure that our children and professionals who are skilled in certain fields, when technology replaces their skills, they must be re-skilled for other jobs," stated O'Neill.
Going forward, the leaders have agreed to aspire to achieve the Post 2020 vision of free and open trade, inclusive growth, empower women, food security and achieve structural reforms.

A federal judge in Ohio has ordered all civil cases in her district that involve the federal government put on hold because of the partial government shutdown.
Judge Patricia A. Gaughan (gawn), chief judge for the U.S. District Court Northern District of Ohio, made the order Dec. 26, four days after the shutdown began. It affects cases in federal courts in Akron, Cleveland, Toledo and Youngstown.
The Akron Beacon Journal reports the decision stemmed from the fact that roughly 25 civil attorneys in the U.S. Attorney's office in Cleveland are on furlough while the government is on hiatus.
Gaughan said that means there are no lawyers to represent the United States. She said the order was more efficient than having the government file individual requests for delays on each case.

Q: Why's the dollar in freefall? A: Robert Fisk.
Tumultuous times for the dollar this week. Gold has hit an all-time high three days in a row (this morning it's at $1,045 troy ounce – it was only $990 on 29 September) while WTI oil is up at $71.50 a barrel todaycompared to $66 just over a week ago – both commodities head upwards when the greenback's going the other way. So what was going on? Over to the NYT for the stocks and bonds report in Wednesday's paper:
Investors clamored to buy pretty much anything on Tuesday — as long as it was not the dollar. A seven-month slide in the value of the dollar gained force as investors migrated to other markets and fretted over a report that crude oil could one day be priced in other currencies, hobbling the dollar's role as a vehicle for global trade.
Whatever would give investors that idea, you wonder? Answer:
A report on Tuesday in The Independent, a British newspaper, suggested that China, France, Japan and Russia were in secret talks with Persian Gulf countries to abandon the dollar for international trade in oil and replace it with a basket of currencies and gold.
The Independent? Not the FT, not the WSJ, but the Independent? Yup, the FT's Alphaville blog says so too:
The Independent appears to have rocked the world on Tuesday with its Robert Fisk exclusive exposing a secret plot by international central banks to topple the US dollar.
So what on earth did he say that managed to move markets on the other side of the Atlantic?

If you weren't tuned in last week to our conversation with Tauren Wells, we shared some wise words from him on calling, identity and assignments. Bill and Dave shared a couple of stories on some out of tune pianos. Carmen tuned us in to a discussion on social media justice.

text: SiouxVolley Posted April 3, 2018 13 minutes ago, TheFlop said: 20 years ago? Yes. But since you brought it up, full color Kindles can be had for $50-$100 depending on size. I'm guessing that price can be even cheaper in bulk. I'd be more likely to support a program that puts a new Kindle in the hand of every kid......and even one in the hand of every adult that demonstrates need. Wi-Fi is everywhere and the internet is full of free books and entertainment options. Would be exponentially cheaper than building a library. Shopping....education....etc is all moving away from bricks and mortar but for some reason the small but vocal library proponents insist on a big new physical building. I'd favor giving Kindles out with a large kindle book option availability. That might be cheaper than a library. But again, the internet only offers like 1% of books and periodicals for free, so something has to be done with access. My extended family share books via a Amazon account. Not a GF taxpayer, but I still go a couple times a year to my current city's library, which is located in a downtown. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The UK is the most desirable place to work
According to 16% of hospitality workers in our research.
The UK is the most desirable place to work according to 16% of hospitality workers in our recent research of 21,000 hospitality workers from across the EU.
Employment trends in the hospitality sector
The findings demonstrate the sector's increasing global outlook and will cause concerns for employers who do not have clarity on key changes to employment legislation post-Brexit. Switzerland and Germany are hot on the heels of the UK, both with 14% citing as the most desirable place to work. Nearly 24% of respondents stated there are ten nationalities or more in their workforce, showing the diversity of the sector and importance of holding onto EU workers.
The hospitality sector provides jobs to 7% of the working population. That's 2.9million workers, according to UK Hospitality, however UK employers will need to compete for talent against global opportunities more than ever post-Brexit. Over 85% of respondents said they are likely or very likely to consider working in another country, with the main motivations for moving being:
- New challenges abroad (19%)
- Experiencing new cultures (13%)
The data will exacerbate worries for employers that the UK will no longer be an attractive environment for workers in the sector following the UK's exit from the EU next March.
Discussing the findings, Neil Pattison, Director at Caterer.com said, "The UK offers some of the most diverse roles in the sector with an abundance of opportunities to grow and learn for workers to put down roots long-term. To remain competitive, employers need to consider how supporting candidates through the relocation process and beyond will attract employees. Long-term benefits of training and investment and showcasing the new experiences on offer to candidates will allow them to stand out from other global opportunities."
Respondents cited support in getting set up abroad as key, both financially and logistically. Employers could think creatively about easing the transition for workers by support in the flat-hunting process, paying for relocation or providing provisions for families e.g. childminding. 19% of respondents cited the importance of new experiences and challenges and it is important for companies to offer an attractive package, showcasing their company culture and work-life balance in addition to the long-term investment by way of ongoing training and development (key for 13%) in order to attract and retain EU workers.
Neil added, "More than half (53%) said they want to work abroad for as long as possible, which shows that working to attract talent to the UK hospitality sector will pay dividends in the long run."
Summary of our findings
- Sector under strain as Brexit uncertainty continues, however 16% of workers cited the UK as the most desirable country to work
- Followed by Switzerland and Germany (both 14%)
- Almost a quarter (24%) have more than ten nationalities in their workforce

Yesterday Agnes took a turn for the worse. Her overall condition has been described to us as "critical stable." And, "fragile." And, "terminal."
We have heard the words, "there is nothing more we can do except help her to be comfortable."
Agnes is comfortable right now, and she is stable within her very fragile balance, but it is also clear that her body is failing.
After all this runaround about her shunt, it turned out not to be the deciding factor. Her ongoing trouble with pulmonary hypertension is what now her "terminal" condition.
In a nutshell what is happening is the pressure in the blood vessels going to her lungs is so high, that the right side of the heart has to work extra hard to move blood. The right side is enlarged, to the point where the left side is being compressed. Agnes' heart isn't able to keep up and so blood is backing up in her veins, unable to get to the heart to be re-oxygenated and sent through the arteries to her her body. Blood is backing up and with nowhere to go, fluid from her vascular system is seeping out into her tissues. The slowdown in circulation is affecting her organ functions. There is not enough blood flow to her liver, kidneys, and intestines. She is not absorbing nutrition from food, or her medicines. Her lungs are very stiff because of the inadequate blood flow so her ventilation needs a lot of support.
They could try to fix her shunt, but with organs in the process of failing what good would an operational shunt do for long term? The shunt is small potatoes. The biggest issue now is that the problems are affecting nearly every system in Agnes' body.
She is dying.
There is always time for a miracle, and we haven't given up hope for one. We are also talking with palliative care about Agnes' end of life options and what we feel like we could or should do. We are always striving to make the best choices for Agnes. Right now she is behaving so we have some time to think and pray. There really is no telling how much longer Agnes will hang on. She is the boss lady. In any case it does not appear at this time that Agnes' death is imminent–at least not in the next day or two. So that's a relief.
Fr. Sal did allow her to receive Eucharist last night, in her own way. She got to lick the Body of Christ and I consumed the rest of it. I know she doesn't need that sacrament because she is a baby and pure and sinless, but I wanted her to have it.
I do plan to write a beautiful post about what I've learned from Agnes, about the meaning of suffering and the power of prayer and all that stuff. When I feel like I can get through it! Hopefully I will be able to manage that soon.
Thank you all for your continued prayers.

Sobbing with and for you as I read this post…
I know you and th medical team has done everything and for Agnes, her release from this world will mean tha she is comfortable and walking hand in hand with the Lord…My heart is breaking for you, Jeremy, Stephen and the rest of your family…prayers for God's will and your peace with it all…
Nothing else matters. Time is standing still, I'm sure. Do whatever you have to do to bring peace and collect all the love up that you have to give her as she goes. She is one spunky little princess and she is such a fighter! Isn't it amazing how a helpless little imp like her can fight! So totally trusting and pure. Feed me! Help me! change me! Then she just rests with that spotless, virginal skin, those rosy lips and translucent eyelids and cracks a smile and says, "Ok, thats better…" We are slaves to our children. We didn't ever realize that we could love this much! Take lots of pictures and create a lasting memory. I'm so glad she was able to receive the body and blood of our Lord Jesus. What a wonderful gift. Our Lord only rests in the most pure of hearts and when we receive him, we can only hope he can find some small place in our sinful body and mind to rest. He must have found a feather-bed of comfort in Agnes' body. Because inside she is him, outside, she is him, broken and frail. My thoughts are with all of you as you go forward.
Peace sister!
Praying for you and your family =( Also I think it's pretty awesome that you did the eucharist with her, the Eastern Rite does it as a matter of course I believe. ❤
St. Agnes, pray for her.
Mother of God, pray for her and keep her in your protection!
Stay strong, mama! Everything will be as God wills it.
The messages above are so beautiful in response to the moments Agnes and all of you are going through. We will pray. Love to you all. Patti and Tom
Dear Judy, I am so sorry that your journey with your little precious one is coming to an end soon. I know you've savored every minute, and so has she. I'm glad you've gotten at least this much time together. We will continue to keep all of you close in prayer. -Jennifer
The sentiments that have been expressed to you in these comments are so powerful and moving. I couldn't add anything. The Body of Christ is an indescribable wonder. You shared it with your precious Agnes today, and you are experiencing it through the words of your dear friends and family. What else could possibly carry a mother through such torment?
God bless you, sweet little Agnes. You are too pure for this world. All my love…
We are praying with you for Agnes, and for all of you. Lord, have mercy.
Judy, I remember you from St. Bernards. I am so sorry to hear about poor baby Agnes. I would like you to know that you are not alone in going through having a very sick baby. I had a baby cousin that passed away just this last summer due to heart complications, he wasn't quit one. Basically half of his heart didn't develop while in the womb. He also went through many surgeries like your sweet little girl, but his body was too weak. It's crazy to think how fragile babies are, but it's even crazier to think that they fight harder than any of us probably would. It's great that you are sharing your journey with the world; you are strong and brave! I pray for a miracle! And I pray for you and your family. However God plans this, in the end it will be alright. I would like to share a song with you that we sing in the youth group during worship nights.
Peace and love to you!
Oh, Judy. Such a little fighter Agnes is and has been. You, too. Jesus continue to protect this family. Love to you 4.
my prayers for you and your family
Praying for God's blessings and grace on you and your family, Jeremy and Judy and precious little Agnes.
God bless you…..we are praying for you all. Sweet little Agnes could not ask for better parents to watch over her. I can't imagine the anxiety and shear terror you are going through. You have always walked with God; He will not abandon you now…..
Blessings on this side of the voyage! I do not know you and had to read this for an assignment…but it really touches my heart as I am in school and wanting to work in this exact field…But your honesty, wisdom, strength is more then any one of my Professors could teach or mirror in the class room or in our clinics!!! You have taught me so much in just a few minutes of reading this!!! Thank you!!! I am sending your family many blessings and prayers both in my Christian style prayers and in my Reiki and Meditations!!! You are a beautiful family as well!!!
Hugs to you my spiritual friend and family!!
We are praying for you and Agnes. Praying Psalm 20, too:
The Lord answer you in the day of trouble!
The name of the God of Jacob protect you!
May he send you help from the sanctuary,
and give you support from Zion!
May he remember all your offerings,
and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices!
May he grant you your heart's desire,
and fulfill all your plans!
May we shout for joy over your victory,
and in the name of our God set up our banners!
May the Lord fulfill all your petitions!
We are praying for all of you!

Ed Balls and Yvette Cooper have long been Labour's golden couple - but they're a bit competitive when it comes to Strictly Come Dancing.
It turns out that Cooper has been angling for ballroom glory - only for Ed Balls to win out as the first celebrity picked for the BBC dancing competition this year.
"Strictly has always been our family's favourite show, we're total Saturday night Strictly addicts," Ed has revealed.
"Yvette is hugely envious, she's always wanted to be on Strictly, she's a great dancer so she said to me you've got to do it - so I'm doing it for Yvette!"
As a novice ballroom dancer, Ed has reached out to some former Strictly stars - including two fellow ex-MPs - for some helpful advice.
"I spoke to Jeremy Vine a few times before it was announced to get his view and he said it was the best thing he's ever done and he loved it and he said you'll never ever regret doing it, he had a fabulous time," Ed recalled.
"Jeremy was the person who swung it for me to do it. Of course there are doubts because if you're a total novice the idea that you would dance live on television, in front of millions of people you'd have to be a bit crackers really but Jeremy Vine said embrace the crackers in you and that's what I'm doing.
"Ann Widdecombe and Edwina Currie have both been giving me advice too and I'm going to build on their insights."
Hopefully that advice from Widdecombe and Currie will come in handy, since Ed's already admitted to struggling in dance rehearsals so far.
Will all his hard work pay off? We'll find out when the Strictly Come Dancing launch show begins at 6.50pm on BBC One. Watch a teaser below:

What is an assessment?
An assessment is simply a discussion between yourself and a social worker or other professional to better understand what help or support you might need.
This support may not be provided by the local authority. It might be support that your own family or friends may be able to provide intially until you are in need of social care services.
Professionals can give advice and support to older people with physical and sensory disabilities to enable them to live as independently as possible in their own homes or in a suitable residential setting within the community.
However, the Birmingham Connect to Support website is aimed at enabling you to make informed choices about what you can do for yourself to live independently in your own home.

(WRC.com, 31/7/2013) AFTER a summer break of almost six weeks, the race for the FIA World Rally Championship resumes on Thursday on the rollercoaster gravel roads of the sport's spiritual home, Finland.
Neste Oil Rally Finland is the fastest round of the 13-event WRC season. It's also one of the most spectacular and hardest to master, with tree-lined straights and blind crests frequently taken sideways at more than 160kmh, providing the ultimate test of skill and commitment.
Bursting with "Sisu" – a Finnish term loosely meaning strength of will and bloody-minded determination – local drivers excel here. In fact, since the world championship was established in 1973, only three non-Nordic drivers have won the event.
As well as the speed, trees and blind crests, Rally Finland,tests flying skills more than any other round of the WRC. The smooth gravel roads around the host city of Jyvaskyla are littered with stomach-churning jumps that launch cars into flights of more than 60 metres.
This year's rally is run over two and a half days and features 23 special stages over a competitive distance of 324.21 kilometres.
There are three completely new stages – Torritu (SS2/4), Lankamaa (SS10/14) and Paina (SS19/23) which also closes the event as the Power Stage. Four stages are the same as last year, while all others have amendments or new sections of road.
Following tonight's Qualifying Stage – used to determine the running order among the WRC's elite on day one – Thursday's action kicks off at 11.15, when crews leave Jyvaskyla for six stages run without a service halt.
The day's competitive action ends at the Killeri trotting track for the traditional Super Special Stage at 8.30pm.
Friday and Saturday are both long days and include some of the most legendary Finish stages. Friday's action begins at 9.48 with the Jukojarvi stage, followed in quick succession by Palsankyla, Mokkipera and Lankamaa which, at 23.66km is the longest stage of the day. After service in Jyvaskyla, drivers repeat all four, and then round off the day with a second trip to Killeri.
Saturday's route is based around the Jamsa region and consists of two passes of a loop of four stages: Surkee, Leustu, Painaa and the fearsome Ouninpohja, a 33km monster that remains the stuff of Rally Finland legend. The final test, the repeated Painaa, gets underway at 5.40pm.
Fourteen top-specification World Rally Cars appear on the Neste Oil Rally Finland entry with the fastest of them all, based on the results so far this season, Sebastien Ogier's Volkswagen Polo R – topping the list.
Having won four of the seven rallies in the first half of the season, Ogier, from France, is the hot favourite to win again this week.
Fresh from a pre-event test, Ogier arrives in Jyvaskyla with a 64-point lead in the drivers standings from his team-mate Jari-Matti Latvala, while Volkswagen remains on course for the manufacturers' title in its debut season.
The closest Ogier has come to winning in Finland is the second place he scored with Citroen in 2010. Beating the Finns at their own game is something he is desperate to do this week, but he'll face tough opposition from several Finnish star drivers, not least his own teammate who pipped him to victory in 2010.
Finland is likely to be closest battle we've seen between the Volkswagen pair, with Ogier out to annihilate the opposition on the fastest rally of the year and Latvala promising to fight for victory in front of his home crowd in a car he's finally super-confident in.
It should be a straight fight too, after Volkswagen team boss Jost Capito sportingly confirmed that his drivers will both be free to fight for victory – each other if necessary.
Citroen DS3 driver Mikko Hirvonen, however, is capable of upsetting them both. The Jyvaskyla resident scored his only win on home soil back in 2009 and is under increasing pressure from Citroen to deliver a decent result after a lacklustre season so far.
With 2014 season contracts under review in the next couple of months, Mikko is equipped with the same car Sebastien Loeb used to win the rally in 2012 and should be extremely motivated to do well.
The M-Sport challenge is likely to be led by Thierry Neuville. The Belgian showed astonishing speed last year in Finland and arrives nicely warmed-up thanks to four competitive outings in Fiestas over the summer break. With three podium finishes in the first half of the season, Neuville is more than capable of springing a surprise.
Mads Ostberg is also anxious to impress following a frustrating 2013 campaign so far in his Fiesta. After five weeks of rest and relaxation, the Norwegian says he has hit the reset button and will treat Finland as a new start.
Also out to prove his potential is Kris Meeke, the former factory MINI driver who has been brought in as replacement for an absent Khalid Al Qassimi at the Abu Dhabi Citroen squad.
This will be Meeke's first taste of competition in the DS3 World Rally Car, so he has a big familiarisation job to do, but his existing test role with the manufacturer means he's not coming in completely cold. Meeke is definitely one to watch.
As are Finnish privateers Juho Hanninen and Jarkko Nikara, who will both challenge for top stage times, with Haninnen at the wheel of a Fiesta RS and Nikara in the latest Prodrive evolution of the MINI JCW.
Such is the event's popularity that no fewer than 101 entries have been received, including the contenders fighting for the WRC, WRC 2, WRC 3 and Junior WRC Championships.

John 4:24, "God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth."
Man dwells primarily in the physical and emotional realm, but God is a Spirit (1 Sam. 16:7). To have true fellowship with God, we have to relate to God on the spiritual level.
In order to make this possible, God changed our spirit. At salvation, our spirit became totally new (11 Cor. 5:17). It is now righteous and truly holy (Eph. 4:24). It is now exactly the way Jesus is, because our born again spirit is the spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Jn. 4:17; 1 Cor. 6:17; Rom. 8:9; Gal. 4:6).
In our spirits we are worthy to come before God and worship Him without any fear. Our spirit is the only part of us that is worthy. That's why we must worship Him in spirit and in truth.
When we come before God dwelling on all our failures and problems, we are not approaching Him through our spirit. Our spirit is not our problem. Our born again spirit is perfect.
There is a place for mentioning our problems and failures but it's not the part of us that has been saved and is in fellowship with God. We must always base our relationship with the Father on who we are in our spirit through Christ Jesus.

Such a shame that we have to suffer the deflation after when we come back to the real world. And my lovely family appeared to have emptied ALL their clothes into the baskets to be laundered. I'm sure they didn't have that many clothes when I left for the w/end. Think they'd been saving it up for me?
Grrrrr and I love ironing ssooooooooooooo much. NOT!!

The Last Map is the Heart Teacher Resource Guide
This guide incorporates current reading response theory but also provides traditional literary activities. The aims of interaction between the student and the work are guided by the assumption that the reader is not passive, nor that all "meaning" resides in the text. Rather, the intention of this guide is to involve the student in all phases of the reading process. The teacher therefore is not the sole organizer of the response. This guide aims to have the teacher create the atmosphere and situations which encourage and develop the student's response, and to act as the medium for the written work.
The guide presents each of the stories in the context of the following:

One of the most annoying things in Windows Phone is not being able to open links in their respective apps. YouTube links is where this would come in handy the most. Currently there are several great 3rd-party YouTube apps available for Windows Phone, but they don't co-operate with the browser at all. A new trick from MetroTube lets you do that with a little hacky trick.
First visit the MetroTube website on your phone. Ccopy the javascript code and add it as a favorite bookmark. Now, whenever you are on a YouTube video page just tap that favorite and it will take you to MetroTube. Simple as that. If you really love MetroTube this is something you will definitely want to use. MetroTube adds a ton of features that the YouTube mobile site doesn't have. Check out the instructional video below.
Thanks everyone!

|Pause_2 is releasing the mini-album 'The Gatehouse' by Gauge today. It has a remix by Matt, done in 1997 (or thereabouts), but released never before (thanks to Tom).
|12 september 2001
|Bovine Life's 'Social Electrics' CD info now available.
|12 september 2001
|It's been a while... no news on new tunes by Matt, although there are occasional rumours...
|Bovine Life's 'Social Electrics II' has been relased on CD, including one or more tracks with samples by/in collaboration with 3EF. More info soon.
|30 may 2001
|Matt now has a baby son called Vincent, and he's apparently noisy and happy and well. Congratulations from everyone.
|More good news: rumours have it Matt's busier than ever on something musical, although probably no longer as 3EF. I can't wait.
|5 april 2001
|Neil Moore, college radio DJ in the San Francisco Bay Area is putting together together a four(!) hour radio special on The Third Eye Foundation which will air on May 8th at 10pm PST on KFJC 89.7FM. It will include an interview with Matt and lots of Third Eye music. Don't miss it. Check out the station's website at www.kfjc.org
|5 march 2001
|Apparently, 'I Poo Poo...' is going to be the final Third Eye Foundation release. There's a message on the Domino site that reads:
|"So this is to be some kind of stunning farewell to The Third Eye Foundation; Matt Elliott feeling that its dark atmos is probably too overwhelming for the skills he needs to bring to fatherhood. Well this is a beautiful way to go, in a series of treatments that takes in everything from Chris Morris to Jonathan Richman, alongside fellow travellers like The Remote Viewer and Berlin's Tarwater. Some of this music may even be his best; a fantastic opening track, all early 20thC piano minimalism, giving way to dislocated vocals and beautiful abstracts and other stuff. Some parts feel like the ultimate Central European-located spy film, some parts are like Middle-Eastern market-places, and some parts are like nowhere. Matt, wherever you are, come back soon."
|A review of 'I Poo Poo...' in the latest issue of NME also states that this is to be te last Third Eye release. They give the album 9 points out of 10. A worthy coda.
|4 march 2001
|'I Poo Poo On Your Juju' is out now (in the UK) on LP and CD. It features seven of Matt's best remixes, some of which have been deleted for quite some time, and one new track.
|Also out now is the Suncoil Sect debut album, 'One Note Obscures Another', produced by Matt. More info when I find any.
|31 january 2001
|The tracklisting of the forthcoming 'I Poopoo On Your Joojoo' (or 'Juju', depending on who you listen to) remix compilation is now available. It features several of Matt's best remixes plus two new ones (as far as I know), and will be out on Domino (UK) on february 26th and Merge (USA) may 22nd.
|9 january 2001
|In february, Domino will release 'I Poopoo On Your Juju', a compilation of remixes The Third Eye Foundation has done for other people. Details to follow.
|I stole Matt's Top 5 for 2000 from the Domino site:
|2 january 2001
|Happy new year! There's a great interview from 1998, send to me by Nick Talbot. It covers Planet Records, equipment, the analogue/dgital debate and Chris Morris. Check it out.

With the innovation of elastomeric bearings in the mid-1950s steel bearings lost their interest and significance both in research and development and subsequently even in application. Steel bearings were gradually abandoned in bridges, followed by the technical literature and design standards. However, a great number of steel bearings remain today in service world-wide and will pose their particular challenges in the future. To the author's knowledge, just in Sweden, high strength stainless steel bearings still exist in no less than some 650 bridges. In recent years, a large number of such bearings have failed with an alarmingly high frequency in Sweden during a period of six to twenty years after installation making them a serious maintenance cost issue.
After a brief summary of the history of high strength stainless steel bearings, the paper reviews service experience of such bearings in Sweden and elsewhere. Accompanying finite element analyses were performed in order to gain insight into the likely failure mechanism. Finally, this comprehensive review leads to a conclusion that identifies the causes of the failures occurred and makes some recommendations.
Although previous investigations of the stainless steel bearings have not been able to clearly identify the cause(s) of the failures occurred, it is found that the failures primarily occurred due to initiation of cracks through stress corrosion cracking followed by fatigue crack growth requiring a certain stress range and a sufficiently large number of cycles until final failure ensued through sudden and instable fracture after fatigue growth to a critical crack size.
Validerad;2017;Nivå 2;2017-08-09 (rokbeg)
This thesis is concerned with failure analysis of high strength steel bridge roller bearings.Paper Adescribes how the commonly used Hertz formulas for contact stresses underestimate the actual stresses in practice due to temperature differences, misalignments and other construction-related conditions. In this paper, finite element analyses of bridge roller bearings were carried out to investigate the accuracy of the traditional roller bearing design rules in view of issues such as girder deformability, misalignment imperfections and material nonlinearity. The results first indicated that roller bearings develop contact stress concentrations at the outer edges of the rollers. Second, it was shown that the contact stresses are very sensitive to misalignment imperfections between the bridge girder and the abutment. Third, it was shown that the roller bearings develop inelastic deformation at relatively low loads in relation to the design load.In Paper B, the finite element method was employed to gain an understanding of the behaviour of a cracked bridge roller bearing in service. The cracked roller was considered as a two-dimensional edge-cracked disk subjected to a diametrical compressive line load. The crack parameters, stress intensity factor Mode I, KI and Mode II ,KII were calculated for the relevant load configuration and angle of disk rotation. The calculated data for KIwere also used to check the accuracy of approximate stress intensity factor solutions reported earlier for Mode I. For plain Mode I loading very good agreement was found between the obtained results and data presented in Schindler and Morf (1994).
Paper Cis aimed at finding the likely failure mechanism of a bridge roller bearing made of high strength martensitic stainless steel. Spectroscopy and finite element stress analysis of the roller indicated that an initial radial surface crack, found at an end face of the roller and close to the contact region, was induced by stress corrosion cracking (SCC). The initial crack subsequently changed shape and increased in size under growth through fatigue and finally formed a quarter-circle radial crack centred on the end face corner of the roller. Numerically computed stress intensity factors for the final crack showed that crack loading was predominantly in Mode II. For a crack size as observed on the fracture surface, the maximum service load, as specified by the manufacturer, enhanced by a certain roller bearing misalignment effect, was sufficient for failure through fracture.InPaper D, after a brief summary of the history of high strength stainless steel bearings, the paper reviews service experience of failed bearings in Sweden and elsewhere. Accompanying finite element analyses were performed in order to gain better insight into the likely failure mechanism. Finally, thiscomprehensive review leads to a conclusion that identifies the causes of the failures occurred and makes some recommendations.

Tomorrow, September 22, is World Carfree day. The challenge is to reduce vehicle usage, either by a day, a week, or a month… and then see how much longer you can go. I started riding a bicycle this year so I could attempt such a goal, at least within a few miles of home.
In Madison, a group of companies and groups are sponsoring a Car-Free Challenge. I've signed up to participate for one day (again, options are one day, one week, or one month). I know, it's only one day, and a Saturday nonetheless. But with my regular job, travelling from one end of town to the other would take me too long. Despite that, I have already started planning for Bike-to-Work Week 2008. Hopefully by then, I'll be able to manage the 15-mile journey each way.
