An indoor sport with unprofessional background
Table tennis, having Ping Pong as trademarked name, was born as an ordinary entertainment tool in the homes of blue-blooded society of Victorian England. For years, it remained as a parlor game and a few British military officers, after their posting in India at the time of British Rule, used it as a tool of their entertainment using books as a net and rackets and a golf-ball to enjoy the game on their table. It was a very unprofessional status of this game during that period. It is not evident how its status was upgraded to a significant level of a recognized sport and then as an international sport.
Is table really a win-deciding factor in Ping Pong?
Not absolutely sure, but it appears that a http://canyouactually.com/best-ping-pong-table/can create a winning strategy in the Ping Pong game. While making a table tennis table emphasis is laid on the material that can create uniform and effective bounce to make ball-hitting bit difficult. More is the lift of ball, harder is to counter hit and thus, making the position of a player with good hitting skill stronger. In a good table tennis table, height, length, material, finish, and even color also matters. The color contrast of a table with the ball-color is a key aspect for the players for clear visibility during a hit. Moreover, an especially matte finished table can also create more uniform and high bounce.
A good table selection is important
You always need a good seller to buy a good product. There are so many sport goods manufacturers in the market, but all don't sell superior products. You need to check ping pong table reviews 2017, if you plan to buy ping pong table in the recent. On the basis of reviews, you can narrow down your search to a few selected manufacturers and sellers, making it rather easy to place your order.

Your children, simply put, are the most important things in your life. They are your love. From being snug in your belly, the first breath they take, capturing their precious newborn features, 6 month old smiles, and finally turning one! I can capture these moments for you so that you can watch your love grow.
Maternity sessions are a beautiful way to capture your precious bump to show your child in years to come how happy and excited you were to celebrate their arrival. Partners and children are more than welcome to be part of your experience.
Imagine capturing the very moment you meet your child for the first time. The joy, the love, the exhilaration! Having a birth photographer present allows your partner to be part of the experience and fully support you in the birth of your baby. Birth coverage is 24/7 as required.
Those first weeks of having a newborn are so very special. Through the blur of sleepless nights and long days, you don't want to forget their perfect little faces, squishy rolls and tiny little details. Siblings shots are my special love and I appreciate how important these images are.

In many parts of North America, the winter months are directly tied to the year's highest energy bills. Winter, however, doesn't have to be a season of waste. We've collected five ways you can still lead a green life, cut your winter energy usage, and still remain safe and warm.
1) Avoid Using the Fireplace
Yes, a fireplace cuts down on the home's energy usage, but real, working fireplaces introduce several of their own environmental concerns. Wood smoke is made up of hundreds of harmful chemical compounds including carbon monoxide, particulate matter, nitrogen oxide and organic gases. Instead of turning to the fireplace on those coldest nights, homeowners should search for other, more environmentally friendly options such as space heaters and pellet stoves.
2) Install a Programmable Thermostat
Thermostats can be a useful tool to control a home's temperature, but too many homeowners waste energy by not lowering the temperature when they are away from home. Programmable thermostats can help you conserve energy and lower utility bills by allowing for easy temperature adjustment throughout the day, week, and month.
By setting the thermostat ahead of time, you can program the device to automatically reduce the home's temperature during periods when no one will be home. The system will remember these adjustments and even automatically adjust the temperature back to a warmer setting by the time you return.
3) Invest in a Pellet Stove
For a fireplace effect without the harmful environmental impact, consider investing in a pellet stove. Pellet stoves burn natural, sustainable biomass for fuel. Each pellet is made from items like forest waste or agricultural byproducts. They have also been proven to have a big impact on the environment and the home's energy usage. In fact, research shows that a single pellet stove can displace four to seven tons of carbon emissions each year, as well as cut a home's heating costs.
4) Insulate Smart
Ensuring your home is properly insulated is one easy way to retain warm air during the winter and doing so in an environmentally friendly way is easier than ever. Today, new insulation options made from recycled materials are gaining popularity. For example, denim insulation made from old blue jeans is one of the market's hottest options, and insulation solutions made from recycled materials are environmentally friendly and just as effective.
5) Heat Smart with Solar Energy
It may not seem true during the coldest months, but the sun still appears during the winter. And on those sunniest days, many homeowners don't capitalize on this natural heat. Installing solar panels on your home's roof can capture this power, and it can then be used for heating water and other energy-saving tasks. Installing the panels represents a significant investment, but homeowners will see the benefits of this change in the months and years ahead.

Catch cover
the quality of these are the best, cover fits tight and very strong
Great Product!
Bought 6 of these for my ice shack that I am currently building. Ordered on a Sunday night and received them Tuesday afternoon. Haven't yet to install them, but am sure they will do just well. Great product, great seller!
Love My Catch Cover
I knew when I purchased my catch cover it would help keep the wind and cold out of my shanty, but it works fantastic. I can now sit in my shanty without a jacket on and when jigging the line doesn't blow all over the place. I also cut off the bottom of a 5 gallon pail in inserted it in the catch cover hole which keeps the wind out. It fits perfect in the catch cover hole. I love my catch cover!
Easy to install-very strong
I put these in my 6x12 enclosed trailer that I use for an ice shack and toy hauler. These were very easy to install and I can still drive my atv over them as well as my riding lawnmower in the summer.

To all CVM graduate students and residents, their mentors and early career researchers: the preprint "The Benefits of Open Research: How Sharing Can Help Researchers Succeed" McKiernan, et al. July 2016" is a roadmap to the benefits of embracing the new rules and using the new tools for open research from a researcher's point of view. The new tools are open and inter operable, like ORCID.
Open research fully supports the discovery mission of the College of Veterinary Medicine: "To discover new knowledge and share it with the people of Tennessee and beyond"
A team of librarians are available to assist early career researchers and their mentors in acquiring an understanding of the new rules and tools with two goals:
- researchers value their intellectual property portfolio and
- understand how to openly share articles, code, data order to get the benefits of increased impact and visibility.

Considering publishing in an open access journal with APCs or Article Processing Fees?
Once you've got a short list of journals, CLICK on "Is this publisher reputable?" TAB on this guide and/or Think Check Submit"
To be eligible for funds from the Open Publishing Support Fund, the journal must be listed in either of the two sources below to ensure that the publisher is transparent and adheres to best practices in scholarly publishing as defined by COPE.
- in the DOAJ or Directory of Open Access Journals OR
- be a peer-reviewed open access journal listed in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) database which is available within the Web of Science database platform.
Hybrid open access journals are NOT eligible for funding from the Open Publishing Support Fund. Hybrid OA journals make only selected articles open access for an additional fee. Rationale: hybrid OA journals double dip.
- Hybrid OA journals charge libraries and individuals subscription fees PLUS the open access option for an additional fee. One problem with this approach from a library and individual subscriber point of view is that the publisher gains a lucrative new revenue stream without reducing subscription prices.
- With a few exceptions like PeerJ the subscription prices for libraries and individuals are not decreasing. Subscription prices for libraries increase between 10-20% per year, 2-3 times the inflation seen in the health care sector.
- An example: SPARC Europe has gone on record to support the hybrid model IF the publisher agrees to decrease subscriptions: http://sparceurope.org/hybrid-journals/.
Purpose: support researchers who need to evaluate the credibility of messages from unfamiliar publishers.
Background: Some publishers exploit the author pays business model by sending personalized messages inviting researchers to publish in their journal, serve on their editorial board, or speak at their conference.
- Even Nobel Prize winners have trouble with messages from unfamiliar publishers. In 2015 veterinarian Peter Doherty withdrew from a conference sponsored by an unfamiliar publisher: "Professor Doherty, eponymous head of the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity in Melbourne, blamed a "temporary lapse in due diligence" for accepting an invitation late last year to appear at the conference."
Notable efforts to address the problem of invitations from unfamiliar publishers:
- October 2015: the international campaign to Think-Check-Submit launched.
- August 2016, the Federal Trade Commission filed a lawsuit against the publisher that tripped up Peter Doherty (above).
- February 2017 the World Association of Medical Editors released a statement about the issue.
- December 2017, Librarian Shea Swaguer, in C&RL News, characterized the problem of evaluating the credibility of an unfamiliar publisher as one of information literacy.
- January 2018 Librarian Rachel Caldwell gave a lunch-and-learn on unfamiliar journals for the UTIA OSP. Access to the video is limited to UTK personnel; slides are freely available.
Use the Think-Check-Submit checklist, an international effort in 26 languages, to evaluate the credibility of a journal.

CRITERIA FOR EVALUATING THE CREDIBILITY OF AN UNFAMILIAR PUBLISHER: ( developed Ann Viera circa 2015 and enhanced by Caroline Zeglen in 2016)
You have never heard of the publisher or have no relationship with them. Publishers who exploit the author pays model increasingly send out personalized solicitations that usually include a citation to a researcher's abstract presented at a conference along with an invitation to publish an article about the project in their journal.
The journal is not listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals. Journals included in the DOAJ are transparent and credible; journals with the DOAJ Seal adhere to an exceptionally high level of publishing standards. Click here to learn more about quality control for open access publishers listed in the DOAJ.
The publisher is not a member of the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association. The OASPA promotes best practices and ethical standards for scholarly communication.
The publisher's website is poorly designed, difficult to navigate, or contains grammar or spelling errors. Unprofessional or haphazard websites often indicate predatory publishers. Difficulty finding the Article Processing Charge or (APC) to publish with the journal is another warning sign. The publishers' journals often have generic titles or titles that are confusingly similar to legitimate journal titles.
The publisher makes it difficult to understand its business model.
It is crucial that authors and editors fully understand publishers' business models.
How does the business model compare with an award winning, high integrity, innovative open access journal like PeerJ? PeerJ puts authors at the center of its business model. Does the unfamiliar journal--or the journals on your short list of places to publish-- have a preprint server, article level metrics, open peer review, and a Who We Are and What We Believe page? Do they have a transparent Reviewer Match system?
PeerJ offers lifetime publishing plans that are affordable and that and allow authors to publish one article per year in PeerJ. How does the PeerJ pricing plan compare with the publisher that has contacted you?
Has your library entered into an institutional plan with the PeerJ? If so, the library can pay the APC to publish in PeerJ.
- Note: if you have already tried open access publishing using this fund, please do not use it again so that more UTK authors will be able to try publishing in open access journals. The intent of this fund was to expand the number of people who have a chance to try open access, not to become another pot of money researchers can request funding from again and again. Open access supports the land-grant mission and allows everyone who wants it barrier-free access, increasing impact. Build Article Processing Charges (APCs) into grant proposals. Funders expect it. The OA Publishing Fund is available to cover costs of publishing in Open Access journals that meet the following criteria: "Peer-reviewed open access journals listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals are eligible, as are peer-reviewed open access journals that are listed in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) database. Hybrid journals that make only selected articles open access are not eligible for funding."
- See TAB above labeled "Is this publisher reputable -- Think Check Submit" for help choosing where to publish.
Pendergrass has established a publishing plan with PeerJ to pay your costs to publish in PeerJ because the business model, affordability, and innovations offered by PeerJ fully support the land-grant mission.

- Are the metrics used by your department, or college transparent and widely understood and shared? Lack of transparency and a top-down approach to metrics may result in research fraud if expectations are unrealistic.
- UTK is using the research profiling system Symplectic Elements.
- Login to UTK Elements here.
- Fall 2016 two departments will pilot using Elements for annual reporting.
- Elements is integrated with ORCID.
- UTK is about to join ORCID as a member, which means ORCID will be a data source for importing works into Elements.
- ImpactStory, a free online metric service, is available to those who have Twitter accounts and includes an OA Score.
- Other online or altmetric services have different business models and use different data sources to generate metrics.
- Authors who chose in modern journals like, PeerJ, benefit from the modern suite of tools, including metrics built right into the journal workflow.
- For example, PeerJ makes it easy to follow the Veterinary Medicine subject overlay.
- Google Scholar metrics
- Legacy publishers examples:
- Example from Elsevier: "Sharing and promoting your article"
- Example from Wiley: (from email received 6/2016):
- deGruyter OpenScience Web site--see bottom for help "How to Optimize a Paper for Search Engines" etc.

For veterinary society members: the scholarly society ECS has made open access part of the business model. Called the ECS Free the Science Initiative, ECS also provides podcasts, blog posts, annual reports, case studies, and videos about it.
Why this is relevant to veterinary societies: The ECS is similar to veterinary medicine in that it has a very large mandate and an even smaller community of practice. The ECS is choosing to remain an independent publisher while making the change to open science with a membership of about 8,000.
"Free the Science is a business-model changing initiative that will make our research freely available to all readers, while remaining free for authors to publish. It is a new publishing standard for ECS, one of the last independent, nonprofit scientific society publishers. We already give authors the choice to publish their work as open access and plan to open access to the entire ECS Digital Library by 2024." (source: ECS Website).

How to REALLY Get to Know Your Customers (and Increase Sales)
Customers want quick and cozy digital experience, and they want it now. They want to log in to their online accounts and see consumption reports of services they use, expect to see desired applications on their mobile phones as soon as they open the box, or online bank loan approval within a few minutes. These days, customers really want more, but there is no magic formula for meeting their needs. Importance of personalized offers is rising, so you really need to know your customers. Not to know them good, you need to know them exceptionally good.
Market need for solutions like Husky
Finance institutions across the globe are realizing that (Big) Data means Big Business. Developing and implementing successful Big Data strategies is now imperative for all financial institutions as they look to retain and increase their market share and drive revenues.
Information is everything. Having the right information at the right time can make a difference when it comes to business growth. "The key to business growth through sales enhancement is related to knowing your customer, its habits and needs. If you know your customer and his needs, then it will be much easier to provide him with an offer which he is more likely to accept. Higher conversion rates obviously lead to additional revenue and business growth, so this is a target for everyone, year by year", according to Mario Marić, business development manager, COMBIS.
Having that in mind, a system which would provide relevant information on how to reach customers with targeted, personalized offers, would surely improve conversion rates on the offers sent to customers. Understanding customer habits, their activities, and consequently their needs helps in understanding the best way to reach them and with which offer, enabling highest possible chance of conversion.
As an answer to these companies' needs COMBIS developed Big Data solution Husky. Husky is a platform used to monetize data that already exists within finance institutions.

The approach applied in the data monetization process consists of two general streams - internal and external monetization. Internal monetization can be achieved by smart optimization of internal resources after monitoring clients' behavior, technology and services they use. In other words, optimizing business by using data for in-house analytics and more informed decision-making and for enhanced sales and marketing activities, preferably in real time. External monetization, on the other hand, is focused towards external clients by providing them with relevant data they can use to improve their business.
Importance of real time data processing
On top of the exact information on customer activities and their needs, there is a few more information that could be even more relevant. One of those is location of a particular action, and the second one is time when action occurred - preferably in real time. Reasons why this is so relevant are obvious: if you know where your customer is, you can understand his/hers habits and needs much easier; and the same principle applies for the time as well, as information now is much more valuable then information 2 days from now.
With system which detects a customer need, on the customer's location in real time, you get the best out of available information for a particular customer. That being said, such a system enables highest possible chance of offer conversion, as an obvious example of sales enhancement.

Presentation of these information is very simple – in forms of heat-maps, dashboards and reports. Moreover, it is possible to monitor 'migrations' of potential customers in different time zones – daily, weekly or monthly.

Just some thoughts..
Bradley Manning trial verdict - POLITICO.com
(watch the video about celebrity support for Manning)
I'm not a big fan of Politico, or celebrities for that matter, but it's nice to see that some people get the picture.
So it seems that one of the big arguments presented in this whole thing is that Manning possibly gave aid to the enemy, a charge of which he was cleared on. But yet I know there are going to be a lot of gung ho people out there who are going to think Manning should hang because he went against the Almighty USA..and if you EVER go against our country, well, you're a traitor.
Some if not most of these people most likely either have been/are in the military themselves and/or are the Neo-conservative chicken hawks who are in favor of militarism and have blind faith in their government. The most common argument that I hear from them is that the military and the troops are over in foreign countries fighting for MY freedom. Man In Black's freedom is what they are fighting for.
I find that to be a crock of shit. No soldier has fought for my personal freedom since the Civil War. The only people who are truly fighting for my freedom are people like Snowden and Manning. I would like to think that these men would be celebrated for their dedication to the freedom of American citizens, but our government treats them as enemies of the State.
Manning especially I feel should be awarded a medal for his valor and honesty and efforts to end atrocities carried out by our Armed Forces. I would like to think that it was a bold and noble act. Instead it looks like he is going to be spending the rest of his life in a prison cell.
I am fed up with my country. This is no longer a free and independent country but rather just the newest in a long line of fascist, totalitarian states. We have become the Evil Empire. We have become the Fourth Reich. We have become what we originally fought against. Tyrants.
It's not Obama. It's not any president past or present. It is the mindset of "America Uber Alles". America over freedom. America over truth. America over righteousness. I am only a young man and I cannot vouch for how long it has been "this bad". But it certainly is "that bad". If it wasn't "that bad", then there would be no reason to try and censor Manning's wikileaks or Snowden's NSA whistleblowing.
It has come to the point where I no longer support our federal government AT ALL. I support the State of Ohio. I support you and me. I support absolute freedom. Freedom of information. Information is truth, if we are fighting against the spread of information we are fighting against the spread of the truth and that doesn't bode well with me.
I admire what Montana has done as far as becoming the first state to pass a law to prevent the government from spying on anyone in the state by tracking personal information stored in their electronic devices. Hopefully more states will follow suit.
The bottom line is that we obviously cannot trust a federal government that lies to us and tries to censor us. I mean seriously this is not what America was founded on. They need to change the name of this country. I no longer support the United States of America.
It's basically to the point where I am almost ready to take down my American flag and replace it. I know most of you liberals and especially yankees won't like this idea but I'd rather fly my Confederate flag. At least that flag once stood for state's rights. And if it is viewed as Anti-American, all the better. I'd rather the South would have won then to watch what was once my beloved country become what it is now.
Yeah, that sounds good. The Confederate Flag and the Gadsden Flag on the same pole. They already are both in my room but I think it would be symbolic to replace the American flag, which I fly for the whole world to see. But I don't know if I can ever look at that flag and feel patriotic again.
Sic semper tyrannis.
Wake me up early, be good to my dogs, and teach my children to pray.

I completely agree that he's fighting for freedom more than soldiers over seas are. How do we take back our constitutional rights and liberties without becoming prisoners & scapegoats ourselves? Is it even possible?

Aye the Federal gov't is over powering.
I haven't watched the video but I think Manning did fuck and release info that shouldn't of been put out there.
However I don't want him to get capital punishment. He wasn't trying to get soldiers killed. He thought it was the right thing to do. Tough case.
I'm still holding my breathe over the outcome of federal vs state laws over MMJ rights.

Manning should have his own holiday, he could share it with Snowden. It would replace Patriots day. Or it could just remain Patriots day but it would have more meaning.

Is the data already available?
Census data is free. Okay, it's not exactly free, because your taxes pay for it – but anyone can get access to the statistical data. For example, if your business wants to know which neighbourhoods have dual-income households with no children, or the number of Indian-speaking households with teenagers in a specific suburb, that information is available from The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), U.S. Census Bureau, UK Office for National Statistics, or other national Census office. Sometimes you may need assistance in extracting the relevant data from Census data, but it is easier and less expensive than collecting data.
You might also be able to find relevant statistical data published by other sources, such as universities, chambers of commerce, and local governments.
What is the most efficient way to collect the data?
When you create a research plan, you need to determine the target sample size that is necessary. For example, if you want to research Martian immigrants in the USA, you would check the Census data to find that there are 950,000 Martians in the USA. You would aim for a sample of at least 600 participants. The sample size would produce a confidence level of 95% and a confidence interval of four.
When you put the confidence level and the confidence interval together, you can say that you are 95% sure that when 57% of our sample picks an answer, the true percentage of the entire Martian population in the USA who would have picked that answer is between 53% and 61%.
Depending on the type of data that you want, you might be able to collect data through online web surveys. Once you program the survey questions, your computers can tabulate the data automatically – it is just as easy to process 100 surveys as 9,000 surveys. Obviously, collecting data through one-on-one interviews and small focus groups is more costly and more intrusive, but those results can be combined with online survey results; for example, three focus groups, ten interviews, and 300 online surveys. This gives you valid data that is cost-effective. A mixed-methods approach also provides an advantage when exploring complex research questions. The qualitative data provides a deep understanding of survey responses, and statistical analysis offers a detailed assessment of patterns in responses.
Is it safe and ethical to collect the data?
There are types of research projects that have no ethical questions – for example, how many customers heard about the product from a specific advertising campaign.
Then there are projects have many ethical questions, such as:
- If you thank research participants by giving them a small amount of cash or grocery store voucher, or free products, will that unduly influence the kind of answers they give?
- Will our questions endanger or harm the participants, such as victims of people-smugglers, or survivors of institutional sexual abuse or spousal abuse?
- Do our questions give the participants false hope, such as expectations that completing an interview will get them a refugee visa?
There are some ethical considerations for which you have no doubts. For example, you may wish to observe an interview by using a one-way mirror from another room. If the participant has been guaranteed confidentiality, that would not be the right way to go about it. You could ask for a transcript of the interview, with identifying details redacted.
You can consider joining a professional research organisation - such as Australian Market and Social Research Society (AMSRS) or U.S. Marketing Research Association (MRA) and comply with their codes of professional standards, and with other relevant ethical standards for a project. Review all questions, participant criteria, and confidentiality procedures at the beginning of a project.
While you want to collect the data, you should never lose sight of the ethics involved.

1500 Buck payday loan are not very difficult to come across nowadays. These types of loans tend to be the just types associated with loans that people with bad credit can obtain. In fact in some instances, these types of loan companies won't run your own credit at all. The actual just thing a person really needs to have, so as to obtain the loan like this particular, is that you simply need to make a particular amount of money to obtain the borrowed funds within the first place, and your expenses cannot end up being too great, which the lenders think that you simply can't handle the loan. If you do not have the actual income to obtain the pay day loan for $1500, a person still might qualify with regard to just a little less, so application is always worth the try.
What tend to be A few Negatives a person Should Be Aware associated with When Applying for, as well as Using 2500 Dollar Pay Day Loans with regard to Your Needs?
You will find a few negatives regarding 1500 buck pay day loans, however. A person tend to be usually expected to pay these financing options back immediately after taking the borrowed funds away. Generally the full payment is due on your own next payday. Some loan companies will allow you in order to go as much as 90 days before you spend the loan back again, as well as these people still call it the pay day loan, but this is not common. Only about 2 out of 10 lenders will perform something like this particular. The longest length of time the actual average loan provider will wait around is about 30 days, with industry norm being 2 weeks.
Unlike other financial loans, you will not be expected to pay back a pay day mortgage in payments. A person are expected to pay for back again these loans within full. The only time a person will be able to get upon the reasonable payment schedule with regard to payback, is actually after your mortgage is actually deemed delinquent, as well as has gone in order to settlement. With terms like this particular, irresponsible people possess completely destroyed their credit score with these types of debts. This particular is highly unfortunate, because these loans tend to be great things, if used within the right way.
How do a person Use Pay Day Loans in the actual Right Way? Exactly what tend to be The Good Things that these people Can Do with regard to you?
If you use these loans in the right fashion, they can build up your own credit score really quickly, or restore damaged credit. If you spend your loans back again upon period, you will end up being able to borrow more cash through the actual exact same lender, really quickly after your own initial loan. In addition, these financing options can truly assist a person away in a pinch. A person may use them to pay off expenses upon period, or even to start a business really quickly. You may essentially use them with regard to anything a person want, as long as a person spend them back upon period. You will find not really numerous financial loans which will give you this particular sort of personal freedom within their own terms of use.

Christians pray. Not as often as they could. Probably because they haven't received the answers they want. Nonetheless, God does answer prayers. He's just picky about which ones.
Sometimes our prayers are just our whining and complaining. About how everyone else is making our life miserable. Our words are too often filled with negativity and despair. It's time to change that. Instead …
Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed. The prayer of a person living right with God is something powerful to be reckoned with. Elijah, for instance, human just like us, prayed hard that it wouldn't rain, and it didn't — not a drop for three and a half years. Then he prayed that it would rain, and it did. The showers came and everything started growing again. James 5:16-18
If you want a better life than the one you're now experiencing,
learn to pray a different way.

The other night I was online when someone clicked to chat with me on Facebook. Turned out to be a guy who was a member of a church I used to serve who had graduated from college a few years before and moved with his wife and two children to take a job. He had grown up in the church but had sort of said good-bye to the faith because of some things he suffered at the hands of the church. That was until God sent my friend Ben into his life to be a means of showing him again the true beauty of the gospel. That all started with free pizza but that is a different story (and not my story). It was exciting to see him and his wife grow in the faith while at our church.
We caught up with each other and then he told me that the church he was attending was getting ready to install their first elders (he had been with this church plant almost since the beginning) and that he had been asked to give word of exhortation and asked me for suggestions. First of all I was excited that he church had elected elders. He and his family attended an independent, evangelical church and among those churches there were very seldom "elders" usually there was one elder who basically called all the shots and so I was excited that his church saw the Biblical patter for a plurality of elders.
As I thought and prayed about what to do, I asked my question "What would you say to encourage a new elder"? Surprisingly Acts 6:1-7 came to mind. Those who know the Bible well will immediately remember that that is the passage where the office of deacon was establish, so what does this have to do with elders? Well the apostles said that they needed the deacons to do the works of mercy in the church not because it was beneath the work of the apostles but rather because the apostles had been called to a different work, an also vital work. Here is what they said: "But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word" (Acts 6:4). I believe that the work that elders are called to are similar to that of the apostles: "prayer and the word".
Historically the Reformed church has done a good job of stressing the "w0rd" task but not so good on the "prayer" part. It is interesting to note that prayer comes first and in lists in the Bible order is almost always important. The apostles had come to see prayer as absolutely essential to the work of the kingdom. This is remarkable for a group of men who only 60 days before did not even pray. If you don't believe me read the Gospels and find one place where the apostles are praying. You find the apostles sleeping while Jesus prays but they never pray. After Pentecost they simply pray all the constantly.
I told my friend to encourage the elders of his church to commitment themselves to praying for the pastor, the church and themselves. I told him that this was important for several reasons. First, prayer is foundational to the advancement of the kingdom of God through the church. Churches may grow through planning, programs and personality but when it is not done through prayer it will prove to be a failure either in this world or in the world to come.
Secondly prayer is simply a means for elders (and all others!) of yelling "Help! Help!". The work of being an elder is simply beyond human giftedness (as is daily living the Christian life!). It must be the daily, consistent work of the Spirit of God in the lives of elders, church members and the church itself that is the foundation for the work of the Kingdom. Whenever elders believe that they are capable of leading the church they are in danger. When they daily say: "I have been called to do this and have been equipped to do this but I can do nothing without the work of the Spirit but I can do all that God has called me to do through Christ who strengthens me: (Phil. 4:13) then they are placing themselves in the place where the Father can use them.
This leads to the third important benefit of prayer. Prayer, rightly understood, is a great tool in God's hand in humbling elders. As elders see their daily, hourly need of prayer it produces humility. Humility is what produces gentleness in elders, one of the characteristics mentioned by Paul in I Timothy 3. Humility is something that most (should be all) Christians say they desire but they often don't really want it. Years ago a friend of mine named Jack said: "Lee everyone wants to be humble but no one wants to be humiliated to get there". Then he chuckled. He knew that there were few things like visible failure to produce humility, particularly in the life of church leaders. He also knew, however, that few leaders were willing to acknowledge failure as a means of growing in humility. Failure in ministry is a great tool in our Father's hand of showing elders the absolutely essential need for prayer.
So I could encourage a new elder (and all old elders as well) by reminding him that his calling is a calling to a greater commitment to prayer. Not because that is "what elders do" but because that is what elders need and what the church needs. I know very few things that the Church needs today like elders who are committed to prayer.
Finally I pointed to Acts:6:7: "And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith". This advancement of the church was directly related to the dual work of the apostles: prayer and the word. It is not just the preaching of the word that produced this but the prayer that went before and after the proclamation of the word. The practice was to pray about the proclaiming of the gospel, the proclaiming of the gospel, and then praying for Holy Spirit working through the proclaiming the gospel.
Gospel take away: It is interesting to note that Luke tells us here that many of the priests were converted, not many scribed, not many Pharisees but many priests. Why? Day in and day out they saw the number of sacrifices, every day they saw it start over with new sacrifices. They knew by seeing it that there simply were not enough sacrifices to take away from sin. They knew by their daily lives that "is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins" (Heb 10:4), but now a sacrifice had occurred that really had taken away all sin.

Why OPEC Lost The Oil War And How These 8 High-Quality, High-Yield MLPs Are Set To Profit Because Of It
By: Dividend Sensei
On Wednesday May 24th, OPEC agreed to extend last year's 10% production cut another nine months, to March of 2018. Oil markets were already anticipating this and the price of crude actually declined on the announcement. This means that, what started out as a Saudi Arabian led price war on US shale producers, is now officially ended, with OPEC the big loser. This has important ramifications when it comes to the future price of crude, and more importantly for high-yield income investors, the future of the midstream MLP industry.
OPEC's Failed Price War
Back in mid 2014 oil prices peacked at $107 and US shale production, courtesy of the fracking revolution, was growing like gang busters. Despite the high price, which allowed Saudia Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter, to mint money, the Saudi's were upset that soaring US production was resulting in decreased imports and falling OPEC market share.
Thus it decided to launch a major price war, by drowning US shale production in a flood of cheap crude. Specifically, despite a growing glut of world wide supply, Saudi Arabia forced OPEC to abandon production quotas which resulted in all OPEC members pumping full out (except for Saudi Arabia which maintained 2 million in spare capacity). That in turn caused the worst oil crash in over 50 years, with prices dropping from $107 in June 2014, to a low of $26 in January of 2016.

Dr. Pierrette Fortin is a Professor of Philosophy at l'Université de Moncton, Edmundston Campus and an Associate Professor at the Université de Sherbrooke.
Dr. Janice Singer is Senior Research Officer in Software Engineering at the National Research Council Canada.
Both appointments are effective November 1, 2008.
PRE is a committee of 12 members drawn from across the country to represent a wide spectrum of disciplines and experience in ethics of human research. Current members are from varied backgrounds spanning research involving Aboriginal peoples, political science, medicine, clinical research, psychology, public health, engineering, bioethics and law, as well as research participants and research administration. Biographical information on current PRE members can be found at http://www.pre.ethics.gc.ca/eng/panel-group/about-apropos/members-membres/.
PRE was created in November 2001 as a joint initiative of CIHR, NSERC and SSHRC (the Agencies). PRE is mandated to advise the Agencies on the development of the Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans (TCPS). The TCPS sets out basic principles and processes for human research ethics for those institutions receiving Agency funding.
