The opening moves of a deadly game have begun. Jess Brightwell has put himself in direct peril, with only his wits and skill to aid him in a game of cat and mouse with the Archivist Magister of the Great Library. With the world catching fire, and words printed on paper the spark that lights rebellion, it falls to smugglers, thieves, and scholars to save a library thousands of years in the making…if they can stay alive long enough to outwit their enemies.
The fight for the freedom and future of the Library is on and the stakes have never been higher than in Smoke and Iron. I didn't think I could love the Great Library series any more than I already did, but Rachel Caine's writing had me so engrossed in the story that I stayed up way too late reading and practically zombie-walked my way through work the next day, my biggest goal to get home and finish this book. It's just that good.
Jess, Khalila, Morgan, Thomas, Glain, Dario, Santi, and Wolfe are locked in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with the Archivist. And as certain members of the group are completely on their own as of the end of Ash and Quill, even just surviving is harder than ever. I'm not going to talk about the plot of Smoke and Iron because doing so even a little could spoil readers' enjoyment of the story. I will say that we get more points of view in this story as everyone is spread out and I loved getting inside the heads of more characters. The first three Great Library books made me care about them all, but the more time I spend with each member of our main band of heroes, the more they grow, the more I adore them. Khalila in particular was the breakout star for me in this book and it was fantastic to see her fully come into her own. Her brilliant mind is matched only by her quiet strength and compassionate heart and, quite simply, she rocks.
In Smoke and Iron Ms. Caine weaves together multiple intricate plots, each with dire consequences. I absolutely loved that Ms. Caine constantly kept me guessing as to what would happen next and who would come out alive. I haven't been this tense and uncertain about beloved characters' fates since A Song of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones. Alliances are forged and broken, trust betrayed, love questioned, and more, and I am so there for all of it. The result is a pulse-pounding read that finishes in a spectacular climax.
If you haven't read the first three Great Library books (Ink and Bone, Paper and Fire, and Ash and Quill), then you definitely want to get caught up before jumping into this story. Smoke and Iron is an utterly enthralling read. The world of the Great Library is fascinating, the characters unique, and the action intense. The only downside of this book is that I finished it desperately wanting to know what happens next!

Tacos are amazing and versatile; it's ideal for an early morning quick start, a late-night indulgence, and great car food. While yes, most taco establishments and trucks serve up great tacos, Eater is highlighting Austin's best tacos through this guide. This means steadfast options from Veracruz All Natural and Cuantos Tacos, barbecue takes from Valentina's Tex Mex BBQ, unparalleled tortilla de maiz at gas station surprise Ñoños, quality options from Nixta Taqueria, and vegan greats from Vegan Nom.
Ever in pursuit of taco perfection, for the purposes of this map, Eater skipped taco chains (meaning Torchy's Tacos and Tacodeli) in favor of places that are doing interesting things with Austin's favorite foodstuff (albeit with fewer presidential visits).
For other taco needs, scope out Austin's best breakfast tacos and birria tacos. There's also a map for the best burritos if that's a thing you're into.

Some video game franchises stand the test of time, and others spawn spin-offs that go on to enjoy incredible success on their own.
It's nearly four decades since Mario, the jocular Italian plumber, first made his way onto our screens on the Nintendo games console. He has aged exceptionally well, with the announcement of a new movie based in his unique world currently in production.
Chris Pratt will step into Mario's red overalls, with his naïve but kind-hearted brother Luigi being portrayed by It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Charlie Day. As ever, they will be hounded by the evil bowser, voiced by Jack Black, while the object of Mario's affections — Princess Peach — will be played by rising star Anya Taylor-Joy.
With a supporting cast including Fred Armisen and Seth Rogen — as Donkey Kong no less, this new Super Mario reboot should be an absolute hoot. The animation, which the team behind Despicable Me will create, is set for theatre release in December 2022.
They have almighty shoes to fill. The Super Mario video game series is almost unbelievably popular, with nearly 400m copies of the franchise's titles sold worldwide for a revenue of more than $22bn. That success has spawned all manner of spin-offs and cash-ins, from merchandising and toys through to slot-based casino games. Anyone aged between 30 to 100 will be familiar with the world of the Mushroom Kingdom.
Of course, you don't need to know your Goombas from your Koopas to enjoy the series, and the hope is that the rebooted movie will bring this one-of-a-kind universe to a whole new audience.
Hoskins and Hopper left helpless
There have been attempts to bring Super Mario to the silver screen before, but they've not always proven to be a success.
A major attempt to bring the Mushroom Kingdom to moviegoers came way back in 1993 with Super Mario Bros, an outing that cast the evidently non-Italian Bob Hoskins in the lead role and screen veteran Dennis Hopper as King Koopa. The premise was surprisingly meta for the time, with Mario and Luigi transported into an alternate reality to help save the world from dinosaurs armed with all manner of future tech — think Pixels or Wreck-It Ralph for Generation Y.
MovieRulz: Top 130 Best Alternatives for Watching Bollywood and Telugu Movies
It may have been an idea that was ahead of its time, but sadly that didn't transcend into a winning movie on screen. It turned out to be one of the most disastrous releases of the 1990s. Costing $48m to make, Super Mario Bros made less than $9m in its opening weekend and would collect just $20m in total — making it one of the most expensive flops of the modern era.
The movie was critically panned too, and even some of its stars were left less than impressed by how the action unfolded on screen. Hoskins gave a rather foul-mouthed interview to UK newspaper The Guardian in 2007, describing the movie as 'the worst thing I ever did', and describing the husband-and-wife directing team of Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel as 'arrogance mistaken for talent'. It's fair to say that Bob wasn't a fan…
And yet today, that 1993 movie has something of a cult status among film fans of a certain age, although that might be because of the 'so bad its good' aesthetic that the film accidentally hit.
The accidental star
Having some of the hottest stars from Hollywood starring in a 2022 reboot probably wasn't on the mind of Shigeru Miyamoto, the Japanese video game developer and producer, when he came up with the Mario character way back in 1981.
Amazingly, but for a quirk of fate, Mario would never have even been created. Miyamoto wanted a 'human' character to appear alongside Donkey Kong in a 1981 video game of the same name. He originally intended to use Popeye in the role, but he could not agree to a licensing deal with the sailor's creators, so Miyamoto devised the Mario character — originally known as 'Mr Video' — instead.
It turned out that there was a market for wise-cracking Italian plumbers among the gaming community. Mario proved so popular that he was given his own title in 1985 — the game-changing Super Mario Bros, which was one of the first side-scrolling 2D games to earn universal acclaim. Introducing the concepts of the Mushroom Kingdom and key characters for the franchise like Princess Peach and Bowser, the game is one of the best-selling titles to this very day.
In the early 1990s, Nintendo — the then kings of gaming who held exclusive rights to the Mario branding — upgraded their arsenal with the SNES console. Courtesy of Super Mario World, the franchise was taken to whole new levels. Enhanced gameplay and some 3D visuals offered gamers a different take on the Mushroom Kingdom.
Along too came Mario Kart, which took the famous characters and placed them in a world of high-octane go-karting, with power-ups and devious tactics on the menu. Mario Kart would become one of the first truly popular multiplayer games and set the scene for a gaming dynamic that has stood the test of time well into the 21st century.
As console technology has changed and evolved over the years, so too have the possibilities available to the Nintendo development team. Their decision not to release a console to rival Sony's PlayStation or Microsoft's Xbox may have hampered the 'visibility' of Mario with a modern audience. However, he is still a good seller on their Switch device.
From an 'accidental' star to one of the characters of the biggest-selling game of all time, it has been a remarkable journey for Mario, Luigi and the rest of their chums in the Mushroom Kingdom. Who would have thought way back in 1981 that they would still be considered relevant enough in 2021 to have another movie made about them?
Let's hope it's more of a success than the 1993 outing.

French President Emmanuel Macron is formally launching a "grand debate" to try to appease the yellow vest movement following weeks of anti-government protests.
Macron heads Tuesday to Grand Bourgtheroulde, a small town in Normandy, where he is to meet about 600 mayors and local officials.
Despite a high security presence, a ban on traffic and restricted access to the town, dozens of yellow vests protesters gathered outside the town to express their discontent.
"We are being prevented from accessing the village," said protester Florence Clement. "I was crossing the road with my yellow vest but I was asked to remove it because it's forbidden."
Macron started his journey with a stop in the small town of Gasny to attend a local officials' meeting, where some expressed their concerns over the loss of purchasing power of retirees and civil servants.
Macron addressed this week a "letter to the French" to encourage people to express their views on a series of economic and political matters during a three-month "grand debate."
The consultation will take place through local meetings and on the internet. The debate will focus on taxes, public services, climate change and democracy.
The French leader, whose popularity ratings hit record lows at the end of last year, hopes the process will help quell anger over his economic policies.
About 84,000 people turned out last weekend for the ninth round of anti-government demonstrations across France, according to the French Interior Ministry.
The yellow vest movement, prompted in November by a tax hike on diesel fuel, has expanded to encompass demands for wider changes to France's economy to help struggling workers. Protesters have denounced Macron's pro-business policies as favoring the rich.
The movement is named for the fluorescent garments French motorists are required to keep in vehicles.

The Brite Divinity School will participate in this year's Tarrant County Gay Pride Week, an ongoing tradition at Brite for the past few years.
The Tarrant County Gay Pride Week, which is organized by the Tarrant County Gay Pride Week Association, is set for Oct. 1-11. The week will celebrate the LGBT community in Tarrant County.
This year's parade theme is "We are Family."
Valerie Forstman, the Associate Dean for Common Life and the Director of Admissions at Brite, said, "Brite has a long commitment to social justice and that includes justice around issues of race, class, gender and sexual identity."
Forstman said Brite theologically engages in pride to combat the stereotypes and judgments the LGBT community faces in society's culture.
"Even though this is festive and it's a celebration, there's an awareness that there's a lot of pain and a lot of struggle for inclusion, recognition and reconciliation between communities," Forstman said.
Tyler Heston, a second-year graduate student at Brite, said he participates in Pride to honor LGBT individuals who have fought for their rights.
"It's a way to pay homage to those before me who didn't have the privilege I have," Heston said.
Heston said protestors at the festival and parade can be emotionally draining for students who partake in these festivities.
"Because the students have asked for it, we have someone there to offer pastoral care to students who feel really abused or violated by the protest," Forstman said.
Brite will also host its first worship service called "Being Pride" this Friday, which will allow for the TCU and Brite community to show support through prayer and worship.
Danielle Musselman, a first-year graduate student at Brite, said, "We think it will be a rich experience where people of all faiths or no faith can come and be in communion with other people."
Both Musselman and Heston are part of the Brite Student Association Executive Board and have worked with other Brite students to plan this week's events.
"I'm proud of our students for their initiative around embracing justice for gender non-conforming people when many of our students are simply allies," Forstman said. "They see this as a justice issue that may not directly impact them, but certainly impacts the community that we have here."
Forstman said she hopes the institution will increase in participation toward social justice efforts for the LGBT community and others.
"We are delighted to have our relationship with disciples on campus," Forstman said. "But we would love for TCU students across campus to know more about Brite."

Certain GM Pickups And SUVs Recalled Over Loose Front Center Seat Belt
6Sponsored Links
Certain 2019 to 2021 model year GM pickups and SUVs have been recalled due to an issue involving the seatbelt on the front center seat.
The problem: on certain 2019-2021 model year GM pickups trucks and SUVs, the front-row center seat of the optional 40/20/40 split-bench seat may have a loose or improperly secured seat belt bracket. This problem can be traced back to the seat supplier, which may have failed to secure the seat belt brackets to the seat frame.
The hazards: if a seat belt bracket is not secured, the seat belt may not properly restrain an occupant in the front row center seat position, increasing the risk of occupant injury in a crash or high-speed braking event. A vehicle with improperly secured seatbelts may also violate certain federal motor vehicle safety standards.
The fix: dealers are instructed to inspect the left-side and right side front row center seat belt bracket attachments and reassemble them if necessary. No repair parts will be required for this recall, as the seat belt bracket only needs to be refastened to the seat. These repairs will be performed at no cost to the vehicle owner.
Affected vehicles:
- 2019-2021 Chevy Silverado 1500
- 2020-2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD
- 2021-2021 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD
- 2021 Chevy Suburban
- 2021 Chevy Tahoe
- 2019-2021 GMC Sierra 1500
- 2020-2021 GMC Sierra 2500 HD
- 2021-2021 GMC Sierra 3500 HD
- 2021 GMC Yukon
- 2021 GMC Yukon XL
Affected components: center seat belt attachments.
Number of affected vehicles: an estimated 624,000 vehicles are involved in this recall campaign.
Owners should: GM will notify owners of affected GM pickups and SUVs and instruct them to make an appointment with their dealer. If owners are unsure whether or not their vehicle is affected by this recall, they can visit my.gm.com/

UK-based industrial designer Marc Fish is well-known for creating one-of-a-kind furniture pieces. Laminaria Chaise Lounge is another exquisite piece of furniture that boasts sharp crisp lines blending further into sweeping curves. Inspired by the twisted seaweed forms, this stylish chaise lounge is made from eight boards that have been deconstructed and reformed into eight different sections that appear to be weaving in and out of each other.
The Laminaria Chaise is not only visually appealing, but it also serves as a form of functional seating. It is ergonomically designed for maximum spinal support, providing both comfort and luxury. Combining unique design, and sculpting as well as engineering techniques, this chaise references the Art Nouveau period, however, the inspiration of the work takes its cue directly from nature.
Made from American black walnut, the furniture has been hand-carved into layered shapes. Each layered wood piece has been pieced together using a micro stack-lamination technique to form the genesis of the entire Laminaria Series. Further, the hand-sculpted piece of furniture is sanded, polished and finished with oil and wax to give it the final stylish appearance.
Stimulated by marine life, Laminaria chaise lounge is limited to only seven pieces. It can even be custom-made on special request. For more information, visit the designer's official website.

U.S. equities and stock exchange traded funds retreated Monday as falling crude oil prices hit the energy sector, but technology stocks remained one area that avoided the storm.
The S&P 500 Index, along with related funds including the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEArca: SPY), iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (NYSEArca: IVV) and Vanguard 500 Index (NYSEArca: VOO), were down 0.2% Monday. Meanwhile, the PowerShares QQQ (NasdaqGM: QQQ), which tracks the tech heavy Nasdaq-100 Index, continued to strengthen for its fifth consecutive session, rising 0.4% Monday.
The energy sector led the market sell-off Monday as West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures declined 3.0% to $52.4 per barrel. Oil prices slipped after analysts pointed out that some were growing increasingly concerned over rig counts, which have risen for 10 consecutive weeks on the higher crude oil prices, reports Mike Bird for the Wall Street Journal.
The market rally is beginning to lose momentum after surging since Donald Trump won the elections and promised to enact various expansionary economic policies. However, investors are now shifting their attention to the upcoming earnings season and stock valuations.

Picture this: You walk into a Las Vegas casino and although you're asked to don a mask (the state has a mask mandate for most public indoor spaces), no other questions are asked.
But then you try to enter the casino's showroom and everything changes.
At the door to the theatre, you're asked to prove you're vaccinated. In some showrooms, proof of a negative Covid-19 test is accepted, but not in others.
That's what's happening in Vegas right now. Visitors to its casinos are being caught by surprise, unaware that a patchwork of protocols are in effect under the same roof.
"Confusing is the word," says Anthony Curtis, publisher of Las Vegas Advisor. "Nobody can keep [all the different protocols] straight. It's difficult to stay up-to-date on this, even for us—and all we do is cover Las Vegas travel."
According to Curtis, the disconnect occurred because different entities control adjacent spaces.
Las Vegas casinos and restaurants have made it clear they won't support any sort of testing or vaccine mandate as the owners think it will hurt business. But many of the city's entertainment venues are controlled by multinational companies that have adopted pro-vaccine and pro-testing policies.
The large entertainment producers may be betting that an exception to the mask rule created by Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak could work in their favor.
On August 16, Sisolak announced that indoor venues that have fixed seating and capacities of more than 4,000 can waive the mask mandate as long as all audience members and staff are vaccinated.
"This gives an option for event organizers to choose between requiring masks indoors for all attendees—regardless of vaccination status—or making the choice to only allow vaccinated individuals into their events and letting the fully vaccinated take their masks off," Sisolak said during the announcement.
Adding another layer of complexity: Some convention organizers and music festival promoters, like the upcoming Computer Electronics Show and Life Is Beautiful fest, have told attendees they will have to prove they're vaccinated to be admitted.
Among the many venues now requiring proof of vaccination are ones owned by Live Nation (House of Blues at Mandalay Bay, Brooklyn Bowl at LINQ Promenade, the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood, and the Park Theater at Park MGM); and AEG Presents theatres at Resorts World Las Vegas (pictured) and Virgin Hotel Las Vegas.
The city's NFL team, the Raiders, has also announced that its games will be for vaccinated spectators only, although doses will be available at the stadium and those who receive the jab will be allowed to enter as long as they are masked.
Perplexing protocols aren't the only frustrations awaiting visitors, according to Curtis.
"The service level in Las Vegas is atrocious right now," he says, noting that getting restaurant and show reservations can be difficult and that waits for food once you're seated are now double or triple what they used to be.
Curtis blames the management of the casinos, who he says are purposefully keeping staffing levels low to shore up their bottom lines.
"[The major casinos] cut their staffs to nothing. So though people are here, gambling their brains out, the casinos are reticent to staff up. They're making a good profit even though visitor numbers are still below 2019, and they don't want to hurt that," he says.
What's the best advice right now for someone who wants to go to Las Vegas?
"Make sure you get reservations well in advance, and ask about masks and vaccines. Make sure you understand what will be expected of you," says Curtis.

sdarticle.pdf - Published Version Restricted to Registered users only Download (263kB) | Request a copy |
The AC parameters of back surface field reflected (BSFR) silicon solar cell are measured at different cell temperatures (198-348 K) both in forward and reverse bias under dark condition using impedance spectroscopy technique. It is found that cell capacitance increases with temperature whereas cell resistance decreases, in forward bias voltage. Beyond maximum power point voltage, the cell inductance (0.28 muH) is measured, as the inductive reactance is comparable with cell series resistance. The measured cell parameters (cell capacitance, dynamic resistance, etc) are used to calculate the mean carrier lifetime and diode factor at different cell temperatures.

CAMA Introduces Winter Promo Kit
The Cameo Apple Marketing Association (CAMA) has rolled out a promotion kit to help grocers increase winter apple sales. The kit provides materials for a comprehensive marketing campaign consisting of in-store merchandiser bin displays, website downloads and social media.
The merchandiser is transported by truck from Washington along with the apples, and can be be set up in retail locations in under a minute. Each unit contains setup instructions and holds either bulk or bagged product. The merchandisers include a recipe for low-calorie chili-rubbed salmon with Cameo apples and peanut slaw, which can also be downloaded by consumers at the CAMA website. As well as providing the recipe, the campaign spotlights the Cameo variety's crispness through the tagline "Experience the Flavor and Crunch of Cameo Apples."
The Wentachee, Wash.-based association additionally employs advertising on Facebook and other types of social media.
"Cameo sales increased nationally by 45.4 percent in winter quarter 2010, compared to winter 2009," noted CAMA marketing program director Kevin Precht. "The category increased by 5 percent for that same period. Cameo helps retailers bring consumers back to the category after fall and drive new dollars and volume during the crucial winter period. This new winter Cameo promotional platform helps retailers drive sales by communicating the outstanding crunchiness and flavor of this variety to shoppers."

"Climate change is occurring most rapidly in Polar Regions, and the magnitude of change is greater than currently experienced in other parts of the world. The Arctic thus functions as a "canary in the coal mine" with respect to direct and indirect responses induced by climate change." So wrote Katrine Borgå, Professor of Ecotoxicology at the University of Oslo in 2019. The fact that ships can now sail across Canada's far north from east to west at certain times during the summer months bears witness to the dramatic and frightening climactic shift that has occurred in the Arctic. The long-desired route from Europe to Asia, of which captains dreamed from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries, is now a reality, but at what cost?
Among the many intriguing holdings at the Fisher that document that search for a northwest passage is the Journal of a Voyage for the Discovery of the N.W. Passage in H.M.S Terror, written by Owen Stanley (1811-1850). Stanley joined the Royal Navy at the age of fifteen and was trained as a surveyor. His journeys took him to South America, through the Straits of Magellan, and around the Greek archipelago to name but a few places. In June of 1836, he found himself on board the Terror under the command of Captain George Back, bound for the Arctic. On that expedition, his principal responsibility was to record the astronomical and magnetic observations made on the voyage, detailed in this diary. (A fully digitized version of the diary can be found on Collections U of T.)
In its pages, Stanley shows himself to be meticulous in detail. He provides an inventory of the scientific instruments that the government had issued him: four compasses, two sounding machines, six thermometers, a case of mathematical instruments, measuring chain and tapes, two dipping needles, one hydrometer, and one marine barometer.
He also lists his own personal equipment that he brought with him, including a repeating reflecting circle, micrometer, chronometer, a forty-inch achromatic telescope, and another large case of mathematical instruments.
His vivid descriptions of the mission include lively reports of encounters with polar bears, the hazards of anchoring one's ship to rolling icebergs, and perhaps most fascinating of all, how to while away the hours after your ship becomes frozen in sea ice, something that actually happened to the Terror and its companion the Erebus on 1 October 1836. With his ship now immobile through the autumn and winter, Stanley reports that the men hosted a masquerade party on board while he "created an observatory for himself on the ice with a revolving roof made of blanket."
His most humorous entry reveals that "one day in taking a round of angles with my sextant I found my nose had stuck to it but that was in consequence of it being wet at the moment." The journal, which also contains a number of fine pen and ink drawings, ends in mid-sentence before the ships were released from the icy grip of the Arctic Ocean. After the completion of this mission, in 1838 Stanley was given his first independent commission, the command of the brig Britomart, surveying the warmer waters of the East Indies and Australasia, which must have been a pleasant change from Canada's polar icecap.
Journals such as these give climate historians a better sense of the ways in which the Arctic has indeed changed since the days of the Industrial Revolution. By reading them in conjunction with official government reports and five centuries' worth of scientific records, we get a better sense of whether that canary is still singing its own sweet song or a lament for a landscape and way of life that is passing away. As for the Terror and Erebus, they are most famous for being the ships commanded by Sir John Franklin (1786-1847), lost during the Arctic expedition of 1845-1848 after they had once again become lodged in ice. The Erebus was discovered sitting at the bottom of the eastern portion of Queen Maud Gulf in September of 2014, and the Terror in Nunavut Bay in September of 2016. Ironically, their discovery is only possible because of the disappearance of sea ice.

President Williford Announces His Retirement
Portland, Ore. – April 6, 2021 – Today, President of Multnomah University Rev. Dr. Craig Williford announced his plan to retire by June 30, 2022. He and his wife Carolyn have served Multnomah University faithfully since assuming the presidency in July 2014. Williford is Multnomah's fifth president and has led with his experience as a mentor, author, twenty years as a pastor, six years as a faculty member, and twenty years as a president within higher education.
The Willifords expressed, "We are so thankful to God for the privilege it has been to serve with all of you here at Multnomah University over the past seven years. MU is an amazing learning community blessed by God in so many ways. It has been our honor to serve alongside such a talented and dedicated group of faculty, administrators, staff, and trustees. I've had the opportunity to be around and build relationships with some of the best students and alumni anywhere. We look forward to this next school year with excitement because we know God will again do more than we could ever imagine."
President Williford added that "Over the past seven years, God has blessed our work together by expanding MU's mission in many areas. Our continued growth and effective use of educational technology and adopting the latest learning theory to enhance student learning outcomes will mean even greater missional fulfillment. Our new online programs, new residential majors, new athletic programs, and facility expansions positioned us to increase MU's influence locally and globally for the sake of Christ. I look back over the past seven years and stand in awe of all that God accomplished through the dedication and service of all those in the MU community. Over the next year, I commit to doing all I can to prepare MU for our new president."
MU's Chair of the Board of Trustees Dr. Ben Ochs says about President Williford, "There are people in this world who positively impact all with whom they come into contact. Dr. Williford is one of them. Students, faculty, administrators, staff, colleagues, and community leaders see in him a leader, thinker, and confidante. His presence was a key reason for my choosing to serve as a trustee after his tenure as president began. He and Carolyn will leave a void felt by many. We wish them both well and pray their time together and with their wonderful family is blessed."
The Board of Trustees has assembled a search committee consisting of board members, faculty, alumni, and public leaders to lead the process of finding the new president. They will hire a presidential search firm to assist them and begin a national search this summer. The search committee will provide regular updates in the new presidential search section of the MU's webpage that will be added soon. The Board of Trustees asks that you join them in prayer as the search proceeds.
Plans to celebrate President Craig and Carolyn Williford's time at MU will be announced in the spring of 2022. The Willifords would appreciate your prayers as they transition to live close to family and begin a new ministry.

10 May How to File a Homeowners Insurance Claim?
Filing for insurance will ensure that necessary repairs are made quickly and professionally, that damaged or destroyed items are replaced, and that life returns to normal as soon as possible.
How to File a Homeowners Insurance Claim?
If you have experienced a fire, flood, theft, or another unfortunate incident in your home, you might not think to contact your homeowner's insurance company right away. The claim process should begin as soon as possible, both for safety reasons and to start the claim process. The following steps should be taken:
- Contacting the police
In the event of theft or vandalism, file a police report. It would help if you wrote down the name of any police officer who talks to you or inspects your property.
- Notify your insurance company
Your insurance agent or homeowner's policy can provide additional information. Any damage, theft, or injury leading to a claim is typically required to be reported promptly to an insurance company under a homeowner's policy. It does not mean you must call as soon as possible; however, the sooner you do this, the sooner you can begin the process of recovery. There may be a range of reporting requirements, but you will know what you need to do based on your policy and circumstances based on your policy and supporting documentation. Many companies offer online claims.
- Make any urgent repairs
Take any reasonable emergency measures to prevent further damage without putting yourself in danger. Insurance policies usually allow, and some require this. When doing any work, make sure you take detailed pictures of the damage and keep copies of all receipts you may need for reimbursement.
- Document the claim
The claim must be documented based on damage, stolen items, or anything else. Take pictures or videos of the injury; if necessary, take them room by room. Repairing a structure right away to make it safe and habitable is critical. When the appraiser comes to examine your property, point out structural damage.
How Do You File a Homeowners Insurance Claim?
- Resolve any issues as soon as possible
- Replace items that are damaged or destroyed
- Keep your home's value high
- The result could be an increase in rates
- Insurance adjusters may take a long time to arrive
If you change insurance companies or move, you may still incur a rate increase when you file a claim. Each insurer has access to a database of past claims, with details such as your name, age, address, date and location, claim type, and settlement amount.
It would help if you found a contractor who will make the repairs for the amount your insurer will pay when filing an insurance claim. Determining the nature of the claim will determine how long it takes to resolve. Contractors are often in short supply after a hurricane, wildfire, tornado, or another natural disaster that impacts many homes.
How Are Homeowners Insurance Claims Paid?
The majority of claims are settled through electronic funds transfer or check. As repairs are completed and expenses accrue, more complicated claims may need to be paid overtime.
This will allow you to cover immediate expenses, pay for any repairs necessary, and get reimbursed for lodging and food.
Your claim may be large enough to receive a first check for the entire amount. It is possible to file a new claim if more damage is discovered.
What Are Mistakes to Avoid in Filing a Homeowners Insurance Claim?
Immediately following an event that leads to a claim, you should contact your insurer. If your insurer specifies a timeframe for submitting claims, you should follow that timeframe. Take pictures and videos of the damaged or lost items and make a list with the dollar amounts, if necessary, to document the loss.
Leaving anything out of your claim will prevent you from being reimbursed. It is essential if your claim is complex.
While insurance companies do not want to overcharge you, they do not want to pay more than they have to.
How Long Does It Take to File a Homeowners Insurance Claim?
Depending on the complexity of your claim and how well you prepare, it could take several months to process your insurance claim. In most cases, a flood claim is a reasonably straightforward basement or fallen tree claim. However, other factors may influence how long a tree takes to grow.
Although it is possible to fill out a simple claim form online, homeowners insurance claims that can be handled in one sitting are not always worth the trouble. A minor fence repair may not cost more than your deductible. Each share can increase your rates, and some claims aren't worth the risk.
Most states have regulations and time limits on you and your insurer. According to your insurance policy, you have a specific time frame to file a claim. It is necessary to provide an itemized list of lost items, an estimated value, and documentation by the due date. Be detailed.

Kate Middleton and Prince William could become parents any day now.
And while we don't know whether they'll be welcoming a little boy or a little girl, Buckingham Palace confirmed their baby-to-be's official title: His or Her Royal Highness the Prince or Princess of Cambridge.
Considering the fact that dad and mom are the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, it's not exactly a shocker that their little one should take the title. What is unique, though, is that this royal baby will be the first ever Prince or Princess of Cambridge.

Imagine it's mid-January and you're on edge because you need to get a date nailed down ASAP for an event in … October.
It happened to me. So. Many. Times.
I was the most privileged of event project managers: generous budget, dedicated event space, extremely talented team that included professional event managers and a full production crew.
But it was not without challenges.
I had to wrangle the schedules of impossibly busy executives and board members for a large, publicly traded company while navigating around holidays (for every religion and for countries on four continents), school breaks, daylight saving time change, earnings report dates and more.
Inevitably, we'd set the date, then someone would remember that this gala or that event usually occurs around that time, and we have several local VIPs who have to be there. Back to the calendars I'd go.
If only I had known then to check EventCheck Knox! I would have looked before I booked.
After learning about – and now using – the website, I yearn for the knowledge contained within the digital realm of EventCheck Knox for my former event-project-manager-self.
Through years of working in corporate giving/corporate social responsibility (CSR) with nonprofit partners, I understand how one well-attended event can mean less-than-desired results for another event scheduled on the same date.
EventCheck Knox provides timely, vetted and curated information to help planners make an informed decision about scheduling an event.
Corporate planners – especially those who might not be as familiar with the community because they are new to Knoxville or work outside of the area at another location – can use this website to easily see at a glance when events are happening and which ones will be vying for the same attendees, local venues, caterers and rentals.
I especially like the colorful boxes on each month of the calendar. It affirms that the fine people of East Tennessee truly fulfill the volunteer tradition through nonprofit events happening year-round. It helps me think about community events that I may want to attend or organizations I want to learn more about as a supporter or volunteer.
Corporate event planners often tie a nonprofit element to events. Checking the calendar at EventCheck Knox can inspire a new partnership.
If you or someone you know works in the nonprofit sector in this area or in corporate giving, event planning, marketing, social good, CSR, public relations, government relations, communications or as vendors for events, retreats, large meetings, send them the link for EventCheck Knox.
They'll thank you. And I'll thank you, too.

Author: | Isaac Watts |
O that thy statutes every hour
Might dwell upon my mind!
Thence I derive a quick'ning power,
And daily peace I find.
To meditate thy precepts, Lord,
Shall be my sweet employ;
My soul shall ne'er forget thy word;
Thy word is all my joy.
How would I run in thy commands,
If thou my heart discharge
From sin and Satan's hateful chains,
And set my feet at large!
My lips with courage shall declare
Thy statutes and thy name;
I'll speak thy word, though kings should hear,
Nor yield to sinful shame.
Let bands of persecutors rise
To rob me of my right;
Let pride and malice forge their lies,
Thy law is my delight.
Depart from me, ye wicked race,
Whose hands and hearts are ill;
I love my God, I love his ways,
And must obey his will.

Paperback : 584 pages
Edition: 3 Edition
Author: Antonakis, John
Product Description With contributions by leading scholars in the field, The Nature of Leadership, Third Edition begins with an overview of the major schools of leadership, examining individual differences, followership, relational leadership, and team leadership.

The fully updated new edition is more accessible and student friendly than ever with new vignettes, examples, statistics, and recommended case studies and videos. Review "This is the definitive higher-level textbook on leadership and leaders written by key scholars. It provides a broad collection of engaging texts for both students and researchers." Oliver Mallett Durham University Business School "This book provides a rich kaleidoscope of the field of leadership in all its complexity. It is the one must-have leadership book for students with an interest in leadership and in leadership research." Jeanette Lemmergaard University of Southern Denmark, Department of Marketing & Management "A valuable text that draws together a comprehensive range of approaches to leadership theory." Ness McHugh Edinburgh Napier University "This textbook while an excellent survey of leadership, also introduced new elements that are not addressed in other texts. It is a superb addition to the body of knowledge related to leadership and I will be adopting it for my leadership classes." Charles B.

Theodore Brown Sr. Oakwood University Curated by two prominent leadership experts of our time, David Day on leadership development and John Antonakis on leader charisma, this handbook is a gold mine for students of leadership.

Susan Ashford University of Michigan In this volume two of the world's pre-eminent leadership scholars have assembled a stellar cast of researchers to explore the broad range of perspectives that inform contemporary understanding of this immensely important topic. The result is a volume that explores the rich landscape of leadership with unrivalled breadth and penetrating depth. This will be an outstanding resource for readers of any disciplinary and professional background who want to journey to the heart of this fascinating field and to have to have a 360-degree appreciation of what it is all about. Alexander Haslam Many leadership books are written up in a rather scholastic and dry way as an exhaustive review of the literature. The Third Edition of The Nature of Leadership is different. Providing both conceptual and empirical findings written by leading scholars in the field, as well as mini case studies, practical examples and TED-style talks, this book gives students the opportunity to gain valuable and up-to-date academic knowledge and insights on leadership, while making students discover a passion for leadership. Ronit Kark Bar Ilan University Antonakis and Day join forces once again to shepherd a stellar group of scholars in crafting a comprehensive guidebook for the student of leadership. The Nature of Leadership first educates the reader about major leadership paradigms—groundwork for then exploring current leadership issues. The result is a rich and authoritative examination of what leadershi
