Worthy Is The Lamb
Contributed by Colin Coombs on Oct 20, 2005 (message contributor)
Summary: The Victorious Lamb of God is the Focus of Heaven
Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals." 6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the centre of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits {Or the sevenfold Spirit} of God sent out into all the earth.
Prop. Jesus is …
1. THE JOY OF HEAVEN … "weep not"
a) A Time To Weep
Ecclesiastes 3:4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
b) A Time To Dry The Tears
Luke 7:13 When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
2. THE VICTORY OF HEAVEN … "He has triumphed"
a) The Lamb Is Victorious
John16.33 take heart! I have overcome the world
1Corinthians 15:25 He must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
b) We Share His Victory
Revelation 3:21 To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.
3. THE HISTORY OF HEAVEN … "a lamb slain"
a) His Death Is Effective In Eternity
Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain
As it had been slain As if now in the act of being offered. This is very remarkable; so important is the sacrificial offering of Christ in the sight of God that he is still represented as being in the very act of pouring out his blood for the offenses of man. This gives great advantage to faith: when any soul comes to the throne of grace, he finds a sacrifice there provided for him to offer to God. Thus all succeeding generations find they have the continual sacrifice ready, and the newly-shed blood to offer. [Adam Clarke]
b) His Death Is Effective Today
1 John 1.7 if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all {Or every} sin.
4. THE FOCUS OF HEAVEN … "the centre of the throne"
a) The Exalted Christ
Revelation 1.12-18 I saw seven gold lampstands. 13 And standing in the middle of the lampstands was the Son of Man. He was wearing a long robe with a gold sash across his chest. 14 His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow. And his eyes were bright like flames of fire. 15 His feet were as bright as bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice thundered like mighty ocean waves. 16 He held seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp two-edged sword came from his mouth. And his face was as bright as the sun in all its brilliance. 17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. But he laid his right hand on me and said, "Don't be afraid! I am the First and the Last. 18 I am the living one who died. Look, I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the grave.
b) The Exalted Christian
Revelation 2.21-22. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."

Poirot Series 11 Blu-ray Review
"Poirot" is certainly one of the better British Detective series.
Agatha Christie's uber popular Belgian Detective Hercule Poirot is back on Blu-ray with four 90 minute plus episodes from the eleventh series. The first episode (titled "Mrs. McGinty's Dead") involves an elderly woman (the titular Mrs. McGinty) who is allegedly killed by a lodger that wanted her money. The man who is responsible is sentenced to be executed, but is he guilty or was he framed? The plot may not sound like anything special (and it isn't), but this is still a good old fashioned well-written mystery that will have you engaged from start to finish.
Episode two ("Cat Among The Pigeons") involves teachers being mysterious murdered at the Meadowbank School for Girls and missing gems. Sadly, this one is the weakest of the lot as it features suspect acting by the child actors and some aggravating plot holes (Why did the school stay open? Why weren't the students sent home?). Problems aside, however, it's still an involving story thanks to the acting talents of star David Suchet (Poirot himself).
The third episode "Third Girl" revolves around a woman named Norma who believes she has murdered someone. Poirot and mystery author Ariadne Oliver investigate this matter to determine if she is innocent or guilty. As someone who tires of traditional mysteries, it's refreshing to see Poirot team up with someone else (in this case it's Oliver). Not only does it liven up the story, but it makes for some fun character moments between the two characters.
Last, but not least there is "Appointment With Death" which is my personal favorite of the four episodes. In this mystery, Poirot visits an archaeological dig put on by Lord Boynton in Syria. While there, the rich bossy wife of Lord Boynton winds up being murdered. Naturally, Poirot steps in to investigate. With the exotic backdrop, impressive location shooting, and an all-star cast comprised of Tim Curry, John Hannah, and Mark Gatiss, this one's a flat out delight to watch.
Presentation: 16:9 1080p. How does it look? While the picture is sometimes a bit fuzzy, the hi-def clarity is certainly noticeable throughout (especially in "Appointment With Death). The series definitely looks sharper in brighter lighting.
Audio Track: 2.0 DTS-HD MA. How does it sound? The audio is rather soft for a DTS track, but it still does the job.
The only extras include Acorn trailers and text production notes on "Appointment With Death" by Tim Curry and David Suchet.
Overall Thoughts: Having not seen EVERY "Poirot" episode, I can't compare and contrast the seasons, but I can say that series 11 is largely a winner.

Ok… I've had enough. Uncle Bob nailed it:
Why don't we clean our code? When we see an ugly mass of code that we know is going to cause of problems, our first reaction is "This needs to be cleaned up." Our second reaction is: "If I touch this code I'll be spending the next two weeks trying to get it to work again." We don't clean code because we are afraid we'll break it.
I promise to figure out how to do TDD against my main T-SQL based application. It is getting too scary to consider changes and that needs to change, now.
Tomorrow I'll post the results after Day 1.

hitch horses together
hitch (one's) horses together
obsolete To work or associate together amiably or for mutual benefit. The pronoun between "hitch" and "horses" is not always used. Considering the wealth and experience I could bring to your flourishing little enterprise, it strikes me that we would do well to hitch horses together. It soon became clear that the two coworkers do not hitch their horses together well at all.

Ignore ratios, focus on longer-term municipal bonds
I know you are a proponent of buying long-term municipal bonds. In light of the current yield curve and muni-to-Treasury ratios, what credit rating, maturity, call date and coupon rate would you recommend?
We do not believe in trying to time the interest-rate markets.As you said, we are always proponents of buying longer-term bonds. They maximize income regardless of the ratio to Treasuries, which always proves to be ephemeral.Like any investment, specific attributes of the municipal bonds you're considering should align with your particular investment objectives.

A Pleasure
I have purchased many computers from (CUK) and have been satisfied with the computers received.
Item works perfectly and was exactly as advertised.
It arrived as advertised and fast!
Kudos to (CUK) for great customer service!
The computer arrived as promised, but it experienced problems running updates for Windows. Long story short: I contacted the seller, they determined it was a faulty part, and they promptly issued an exchange. The replacement computer arrived as promised, and there have been no problems with it. The great service was a pleasant surprise!
Excellent seller, nothing to say about it. Probably I'll buy something again : D
It was easy and got what I order. The laptop is amazing!
Works great came in when it said it would, loving it.
Great computer, no lag whatsoever.
Only annoying thing is constant updates to windows, but that's to be expected with new computers. Would definately purchase MSI again.
Provided what was described in a timely fashion without any problems.
The only disappointment was there was no CD drive, but that was my fault for not questioning the fact it was not part of the item description.
Awesome computer love it was worth it thanks.
Should be alright, because I haven't tested the HDD, I have a WD blue 7200RPM 3.5" HDD for my desktop.
Was very fast process and it was as described
Love my new laptop, and the price was great, and the shipping was super fast.
Very pleased with this purchase. Fast delivery and product delivered as promised - new.

The most amazing piece of technology I have ever bought. No issues so far, will update if anything changes.
Nice Buy!
As advertised. Works great!
Solid machine.
Intended as a replacement for a 10 year old box that died. Swapped the HD to this system and booted immediately with only one minor issue. The on-board NIC interface wasn't recognized by my OLD version of Linux. An $8.00 NIC card fixed that and the machine is working great. Even arrived 1 day early instead of the normal 2-day Prime shipping.
Awesome product great price and fast shipping
Great packaging...quick delivery.
Good price, good computer. works perfect and arrived earlier than promised
Item came on time and as described! Thanks.
Very pleased with the seller and the product ordered . Everything was excellent !

Arrived on time well packaged.
Great product. Just have to figure out how to print.
Extremely pleased with CUKUSA and product
Computer has been running very well.
There is a small challenge, nothing major though. My finger print scanner works on and off. It's probably a simple fix, but other then that it's been great! I have had it for a little over a month now.
Good price, great computer
Very good. Just what I was looking for
Great hard drive showed up right on time in a retail box
...I will definitely be buying from CUK again!
First purchase of a computer from an online retailer. Amazing prices and great product, packaging, and warranty. I have to upgrade more dated computers at work soon, I will definitely be buying from CUK again!

Exactly two years ago, I created this blog to be a kind of cathartic experience for things happening in my life. I didn't know what my blog was going to be and I honestly still do not know what type of direction this blog is headed.
I can't believe that I have kept this blog open for more than a year. My previous experiences with blogging is filled with abandonment as I will randomly stop writing and delete the numerous blogs I created. So will I abandon this blog? I don't really know…[lets hope I don't abandon it].

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Outdoor Christmas Decorations and other Christmas Decoration topics.
Do you want to decorate your mailbox during the holiday season? You aren't alone if you do. You can do some shopping around for a magnetic mailbox cover that attaches around your mailbox and decorates it for Christmas.
Again, most often these mailbox covers are magnetic, so if you don't have a metal mailbox, you will obviously not want to purchase one because it won't stick. These mailbox covers are called MailWraps and really do add a touch of Christmas to your mailbox.
Choose from a Santa Claus scene that depicts Santa Claus and his reindeer flying over homes. Or you can purchase a MailWrap in which a snowman is tooting a horn to celebrate the season. If neither of these are what you are looking for, why not go for the Nativity mailbox cover or one that simply says, "Merry Christmas" in beautiful lettering. Whichever you choose, it will come with an all-weather and fade resistant material and it includes vinyl numbers so you can put your address on the cover. To ensure your mailbox cover isn't stolen, these covers also come with locking straps so no one can steal your cute decorative cover.
Mailbox covers are a unique way to decorate for Christmas in an unlikely spot: your mailbox.

The American Evaluation Association 31st Annual Conference was recently held in Washington D.C. from November 8th – 11th. Four of our project managers, along with one of our graduate assistants presented throughout the week. We've asked each of them to share some of their favorite things about Eval17.
Today, Libby Smith, our eval and research development manager, shares her thoughts:
Best Person You Met: Andrea Anderson! I met Andrea in Baltimore a couple months back at the Annie E. Casey LEEAD Symposium, but AEA gave me a chance to get to know her a bit more. I'm so inspired by her passion for evaluation and learning. She gave me my best tip of the conference! As a long-time attendee of AEA, she said this year she was only choosing sessions she knew nothing about, so she would be more likely to learn something completely new. This was great advice and led to some great learning opportunities personally.
Best Session Attended: I ran into Dr. Debra Joy Perez in the hallway on the last evening of the conference. As we said a quick hello, she said she was off to present with several other people from philanthropic foundations in a panel discussion hosted by the Center for Evaluation Innovation entitled Overcoming Barriers to Building a Dynamic Evaluation-Informed Learning Culture in Philanthropy. I followed her to that session instead of going to the one I planned and I'm so glad I did. I've worked primarily with federally grant-funded program evaluations, so it was so good to hear the perspectives of the evaluation and learning officers from some of our country's largest foundations, including the Gates Foundation and the Kellogg Foundation. I learned that even they struggle to ensure they are truly learning from their research and evaluation programs. No amount of money can replace having well designed systems and consistently reviewing them for integrity.
Best Moment: I know this moment truly makes me an #evalnerd, but getting to know your evaluation heroes as real people is the best! I will never forget dancing with Donna Mertens at the Diversity & Inclusion TIG Networking Social. Her work has inspired me since the beginning of my evaluation career and her dancing inspires me too!! Never, ever, take yourself too seriously.

Copper pots don't just lend a comforting gleam to the kitchen. They may also resist dangerous microbes better than stainless steel, two new studies suggest.
Cultures of dangerous Escherichia coli that survived for 34 days on a stainless steel surface lasted only 4 hours on a copper one in a British study. Meanwhile, research from the University of Chile suggests that copper halts the growth of Salmonella and Campylobacter strains1.
Although stainless steel looks hygienic, tiny scratches can trap harmful bacteria, says Bill Keevil, the microbiologist at the University of Southampton who conducted the E. coli study with collaborators at the Centre for Applied Microbiology and Research, Porton Down, UK.
"Under a microscope, scratch marks look like large valleys," he says. "If you wipe the steel with a cloth you'll get most of the bacteria off the surface, but it's very hard to clean them out of the cracks."
Transmitted through poultry, Campylobacter food poisoning strikes about two million people in the United States and 500,000 in England and Wales each year. About 40,000 Americans per year fall ill with Salmonella, and between 15,000 and 30,000 in England and Wales.
More than half of all chickens in the UK are contaminated with Campylobacter, according to Hugh Pennington, a bacteriologist at the University of Aberdeen. A similar proportion is infected with Salmonella.
E. coli infections, which come from cattle and sheep, are rarer than Campylobacter, affecting about 73,000 people each year in the United States and 1,000 in England and Wales. But they are also more deadly - 20 people died in a 1997 outbreak in Scotland in which 500 fell sick.
An old story
Copper's antimicrobial properties have been known for more than five millennia. The ancient Egyptians used copper pipes to transport water. French vintners have killed grapevine fungi using a 'Bordeaux' mixture containing copper sulphate for hundreds of years.
So a copper surface could provide extra protection from food-borne pathogens, but careful cleaning is still the best way to ward them off, says Pennington.
"It would be dangerous to rely on copper's antibacterial property as the first line of defence"
Hugh Pennington
University of Aberdeen
"The tried and tested way to get E. coli off a surface is to clean it with a detergent, then follow up with a bleach," Pennington says. "It would be dangerous to rely on copper's antibacterial property as the first line of defence."
More surprising than copper's powers is that E. coli should survive so long on stainless steel surfaces, says Ian Ogden, a microbiologist at the University of Aberdeen: "It's quite a worrying thought".
If consumers demand copper kitchenware, manufacturers will be ready to "rise to the occasion," says Hugh Rushing, executive vice president of the Cookware Manufacturers Association in Mountain Brook, Alabama.
But copper is not suited to many catering applications, Rushing warns. Acidic foods become discoloured and flavoured by the copper ions they leach from pots and cooking surfaces. "It's almost impossible to cook tomato sauce in a copper pan without it turning a horrible colour," he says.
Keevil is currently working on more practical alloys of copper. Brass - a mixture of copper and zinc - cuts down the survival time of E. coli to four days.

Jurich Lecture on Social Justice to be held February 20
Thursday, February 13, 2020
The couple and family therapy program in the School of Family Studies and Human Services, College of Health and Human Sciences, is pleased to welcome Camille Lafleur, Ph.D., LMFT to campus Thursday, February 20 for the annual Tony Jurich Lecture on Social Justice. Lafleur will present Margins to Center: The Importance of Cultural Connections at 2 p.m. in the McVay Family Town Hall in the Leadership Studies building.
Lafleur is an assistant professor of marriage and family therapy at Oklahoma Baptist University. She has supervisory and clinical experience working in both community mental health and private practice. Prior to her work at OBU, she led the Kansas State Home-Based Family Therapy Partnership. Her research interests focus on diversity and cultural competence. An educator at heart, Lafleur currently has a podcast, "Melanated Information that Empowers Change" (M.I.C.) - that focuses on the intersection of Black life and mental health. Additionally, she helped create the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy Topical Interest Network, "Margins to Center: Cultural Connections among CMFTs".
Lafleur received her doctorate degree from K-State in 2009.
The Tony Jurich Lecture Series on Social Justice honors Dr. Tony Jurich, a professor in the couple and family therapy program at Kansas State University. He began his career at K-State in 1972 and led by example in the marriage and family therapy program where he taught for more than 39 years before his death in 2010.
Tony's life and work embodied the core principles of social justice and he challenged his students and colleagues to do the same. Tony's core leadership tenets — strive for resonance; assume value and be respectful; be compassionate; do what is right; seek out, affirm and utilize diversity and lead by example — provide a roadmap for sustainable community change.
This event is free and open to the public.

Samdech Techo Hun Sen added that he would hold talks with Chinese Premier H.E. Li Keqiang and Chinese President H.E. Xi Jinping during the upcoming visit.
On the occasion, Samdech Techo Hun Sen also reiterated the Royal Government's firm stance to support the One China Policy and spoke highly of the One Belt, One Road initiative.

Minnesota Planned Giving Council
Promoting philanthropy through planned giving.
|Clinton A. Schroeder Distinguished Service Award Past Recipients
Share |
2008 Clinton Schroeder
The Clint Schroeder Distinguished Service Award is bestowed annually in recognition of outstanding service and leadership in the field of charitable gift planning. The Minnesota Planned Giving Council established the Award in honor of Clinton A. Schroeder, a principal in Gray Plant Mooty's Trust, Estate & Charitable Planning group, who inspires and serves as a role model for generations of gift planners. The inaugural Award was bestowed on Clinton A. Schroeder at the MPGC's annual conference in 2008, and the 2009 award was presented to Gary Hargroves, a leader in the field of charitable gift planning.
2019 Recipient: Cheryl Nelson
Cheryl Nelson was privileged to be part of the formative meeting creating the Minnesota Planned Giving Council and was elected to its first board of directors in 1986. Her first board responsibility was to co-chair and create a new, restructured annual planned giving conference. She volunteered in many capacities chairing annual conferences, chairing the education committee while serving several terms on the board. On one occasion, Veterans Day, Cheryl played the piano at the MPGC breakfast meeting, utilizing her piano skills as a lifelong church musician and former music teacher.
Cheryl was a planned giving pioneer in the early years, starting planned giving programs from the ground up, turning around development programs, uncovering hidden donors and achieving significant, complex, lasting planned gift success. She achieved the specialty of developing and closing substantial planned gifts from uniquely challenging donors. Her fondest memories are of mentoring and encouraging others to begin careers in planned giving.
Cheryl began her career in 1982 with the American Lutheran Church (ALC) where she worked with multiple endowments for Lutheran churches and retirement homes, creating policies and procedures used system wide. She was an organizer and presenter at the ALC's annual development conference, the predecessor to the MPGC conference. At DARTS (Dakota Area Resources and Transportation for Seniors) in 1984, she started planned giving, wrote planned giving articles for the monthly newsletter, and began the DARTS legacy society. In 1987, she started planned giving for Minnesota Public Radio, created their legacy society, and wrote planned giving articles for the Minnesota Monthly magazine. The MPR donor travel program was initiated and launched by Cheryl in 1991. At The Saint Paul Foundation in 1992, Cheryl co-designed and led training for over 50 area non-profits to establish and grow their successful major and planned gift programs.
Midpoint in her career, Cheryl endured and overcame personal tragedy and then dealt with catastrophic health issues for years, all the while continuing to do her professional work. Cheryl kept all of this private from her colleagues, drew her strength from the Lord and kept her focus on the donors, her colleagues and the mission at hand.
While at the University of St. Thomas beginning in 1997, she uncovered, developed and achieved remarkable gifts from hidden donors. In 2001 at US Bank, Cheryl managed a multi-million dollar portfolio of charitable trusts and endowments, trained numerous non-profits in creating major and planned gift programs, and wrote grant-making policies and procedures for multiple major family foundations. Then, in 2012, Cheryl brought her years of experience to her alma mater, Mitchell Hamline School of Law, where she identified, developed and closed the most satisfying gifts of her 35 year career working with talented, entrepreneurial lawyers.
In addition to her service to the MPGC, Cheryl was active in the Rotary Club of Saint Paul, a member of the American Bar Association, the Minnesota State Bar Association and the Minnesota Probate and Trust Law Section, where she continually encouraged her colleagues to become involved in MPGC.
Cheryl received her BA degree in Music from St. Olaf College and her JD degree from William Mitchell College of Law.
2018 Recipient: Frank Robertson
Starting as a planned giving officer at the University of Minnesota Foundation in 1997, Frank served as UMF's Director of Planned Giving during one of its most successful decades, from 2005-2015. In that capacity, he trained, mentored, and managed many of those who later became leaders in MPGC. Frank holds the distinction of having managed at least three past MPGC Board Chairs (Susan Hommes, Jane Goodnight, and Lynn Praska), and has worked with other past Board Chairs, Craig Wruck, Gary Hargoves, Jan Sickbert, Richard Olson, and Tricia Bunten. He has volunteered in a variety of ways with MPGC during his career and, after retiring, Frank became a mentor through MPGC's Gary G. Hargroves Mentorship Program.
Frank has worked with countless planned gift donors personally to help them realize their philanthropic wishes, helping facilitate planned gifts of individual and aggregate size that would impress any person in nonprofit development. Moreover, Frank never has been one to seek attention. Instead, his leadership by excellent management of a world-class planned giving program, by personal example, and by individual mentorship quietly has influenced at least a generation of planned giving professionals in Minnesota and continues to leave a legacy across the state and beyond.
Before entering the development world, Frank – a graduate from the University of Nebraska-Omaha (bachelor's degree) and University of Iowa (master's degree) – served 25 years on active duty as a U.S. Army officer, retiring as a lieutenant colonel.
2017 Recipient: Thomas J. Wesely
One of the letters of recommendation supporting Thomas J. Wesely's nomination stated, "Tom has long played a recognized role as a leading advisor, both in his CPA practice and in his active involvement as a volunteer with the MPGC and national planned giving association. His dedication to providing expert advice to … clients and nonprofit practitioners … in the promotion of philanthropy over many decades … qualify him as an excellent nominee for this year's award." In the words of another recommender: "[Tom] is not only a reliable source of information but is also generous in sharing his knowledge. …He continues to give back to the planned giving community." Tom was also wholeheartedly endorsed by Clint Schroeder for the award.
Tom Wesely graduated from St. Thomas, then worked for a large regional accounting firm for 15 years before he and his wife, Gloria, formed Wesely CPAs in 1994. Approximately half of Tom's practice is devoted to charitable gift planning, tax preparation, and other administrative duties for over 200 charitable trusts, including charity-trusteed, self-trusteed and bank-trusteed charitable remainder trusts and charitable lead trusts. He also prepares qualified appraisals for gifts of the income interest in a CRT and the annuity interest in a charitable gift annuity. The balance of his practice consists primarily of tax planning and preparation for individuals.
During the past 23 years, Tom has presented over 60 seminars on tax and charitable planning for planned giving conferences, continuing education for the legal, financial planning and insurance professions, and charitable organizations. He has served on planned giving advisory boards for several charities, currently for Catholic Charities. He also serves on the investment committee for the Evangelical Free Church of America. He was a director of MPGC and chaired its education committee from 1998 to 2003. He served on the planning committee for the National Conference on Philanthropic Planning in 2009 and 2011.

Those who know Dayton can attest to his outstanding service to the philanthropic community in Minnesota. He has served on a number of boards including, most recently, the Minnesota Planned Giving Council. Dayton has made philanthropy and generosity a guiding value in his own life through his charitable giving, but most of all, in his willingness to mentor emerging fundraising professionals, asking nothing in return but that the profession and ethics of fundraising be perpetuated through the future work of these professionals. Dayton is a gentle leader, exceptional listener, and lover of humankind. He has an exemplary character, is trustworthy, and lives with intention. Without a doubt, he has made the gift planning community stronger and has impacted and inspired many.
2014 Recipient: Bob Golberg
Bob has an impressive and extensive history of successful gift planning for multiple Minnesota organizations. He started at Southwest Initiative Foundation part-time and quickly became an asset for all of southwest Minnesota. Bob has proven leadership in planned giving strategy and tools.

2013 Recipient: Phil Brain
Phil was one of the founders of the group that eventually became the Minnesota Planned Giving Council. In about 1976 or 1977, Phil gathered the names and addresses of persons he knew in Minnesota who were working in or had an interest in the area of what was then called "deferred giving." (The names planned giving and gift planning had not yet emerged) Because of the breadth of Phil's personal relationships and connections, he was able to recruit excellent presenters on subjects of interest to people working in deferred giving. Programs achieved remarkable attendance for the time when there was only a small handful of people who worked full time in deferred giving. Phil played a key role in the founding of the National Council of Planned Giving (NCPG) which was later name Partnership for Philanthropic Planning (PPP).
It addition, Phil was a mentor and was a consultant.
Phil had had a strong career working for the YMCA as a camp director and other leadership roles and at the time of starting the deferred giving events was working as the Director of Deferred Giving at the Minneapolis YMCA, which had one of the strongest deferred giving program in the Twin Cities at that time. When Phil retired, he continued to help nonprofit organizations build endowments through Planned Giving techniques … well into his retirement years.
Phil was a well-known tennis star while a student at the University of Minnesota. He was one of a relatively few people who survived the Bataan Death March in the Philippines in WWII. He wrote a book on the experience and on rare occasions would speak on the experience.

An acknowledged leader in the field of gift planning both locally and nationally for more than two decades, Craig is a dedicated volunteer, a gifted teacher, a generous mentor, and a tireless advocate for philanthropy.
2010 Recipient: Bob Evenson
Bob Evenson, creator of the seminal "A Brisk Walk Through the Basics" seminar was recognized posthumously with this year's Clint Schroeder Distinguished Service Award at the MPGC Conference. Bob was remembered by Tom Jolivette of Luther Seminary as an influential mentor, leader, teacher and coach who cared greatly about philanthropy and the field of planned giving. When Tom asked the crowd of almost 400 how many had been through "A Brisk Walk Through the Basics," more than 80% in attendance raised their hands – a testament to the legacy of Bob's contributions. MPGC Conference Program Chair Kim Bowman noted that Bob truly "walked his talk" by making a planned gift to the MPGC. Bob bequeathed his "A Brisk Walk Through the Basics" course to further education within the field and to be an asset to MPGC – a true legacy gift.
Representing the Evenson family, Bob's sons Kirk, John and Eric attended the MPGC Conference and the award luncheon, with Kirk speaking on behalf of their family. Kirk shared the following with the audience: "One of the things I did in preparing to represent our family at this presentation was to talk with my brothers and sister about what aspect of my dad's work they thought I should highlight. What I found interesting was that my siblings all asked me to highlight the same point that I had settled on. And that main point is this, that even though my dad took great pride in being a planned giving professional who had exceptional insight, training and experience in his profession, he actually didn't see his primary role as that of a fundraiser for his institution. He actually saw himself as someone who worked closely with potential donors to ensure that their dreams could come true." Kirk went on to relay a donor story his father had told him, and he concluded by thanking the MPGC for honoring his dad. Conference attendees recognized Bob's contributions with a standing ovation.
2009 Recipient: Gary Hargroves

Pornthida Chamnanwet, a native of Ubon Ratchathani province, filed her complaint at Phra Pradaeng Police Station about 10:30pm last night.
She said she and her husband Wijak Wannaprasit, 34, a native of Bangkok's Thon Buri district, worked in the same factory.
They had cashed in a ticket for a three-digit prize with a lottery vendor on Nov 9. At the same time they bought two more government lottery tickets, one of which she picked.
The ticket she chose, 017223, won a B6mn first prize in the draw on Saturday.
They had recorded their win at Phra Pradaeng Police Station, had their photos taken with the ticket and also signed their names on it, Ms Pornthida said. Then they returned to their rented room on Soi Suk Sawat 64.
Overjoyed, they agreed to divide the prize equally between them and were planning how they would each spend their share, she said.
Yesterday evening, Ms Pornthida said, Mr Wijak told her she would have to make do with only B2mn. She asked why. Then they had argued.
Her husband told her to go to court, and walked out with the ticket, she said.
Ms Pornthida asked police to prevent her husband cashing in the ticket and said she would also ask the Government Lottery Office to block payment.

Hyundai is on the threshold of a territory that it has never entered before. With former BMW M boss Albert Biermann taking over as executive vice president and head of Vehicle Test and High Performance Development, the brand aims to take on the Germans with its 'N' sub brand. This week, Hyundai fielded a few of its 'N' cars at the Nürburgring 24-hours race, but what caught our spy snapper's attention is this prototype of the Hyundai i30 fastback, which also did a few rounds of the 'Ring.
Here, we get a closer look than before at the fastback, which looks a bit like the BMW 3 Series GT, and promises to be more practical than the regular i30. However, practicality isn't going to be its strongest point. Aimed at a relatively young clientele, the i30 Fastback will not be lacking in performance or driving dynamics. While the version here is likely to be powered by a 1.6-liter turbo engine, we expect a full-fledged 'N' badged version to be introduced with a 2.0-liter turbo engine that's good for 275bhp. This could be coupled with the eight-speed dual clutch transmission that Hyundai is working on.

About this book
Nanotechnology provides us with tools to create functional materials, devices, and systems by controlling materials at the atomic and molecular scales, and at the same time make use of novel properties and phenomena. Considering that most chemical and biological sensors, as well as many physical sensors, depend on interactions occurring within the nano scale range, the impact that nanotechnology will have on the sensor world is significant.
Nanotechnology enabled sensors find applications in several novel fields such as sensing single molecules, bio-hazards, toxic chemicals, gas sensors, process control and diagnostics. Application of nanostructured materials for biological applications, biologically assisted nanofabrication, and the development of next-generation of biosensors and biomedical instrumentation for improved sensing is increasingly attracting interests in the scientific community.

Experienced Trinidad and Tobago midfielder Densill Theobald is saddened by the lack of funding for the senior team's Caribbean Cup challenge, but has vowed to ensure that the players are not psychologically affected.
Theobald is among the players who have been training at the Larry Gomes Stadium in Arima, under interim head coach Hutson Charles.
"We as players have not been officially told about any possibility of us not going to St Kitts by the staff or the Federation (TTFF), and I think that is a good thing because it means we are allowed to focus on our preparations and not be distracted. We've seen it in the press and it saddens us.
I hope the powers that be realise that this isn't hurting one man or the TTFF, it's hurting a squad of human beings and several others who use football as a way of life," Theobald told TTFF Media.
"It is important that we as players and staff continue to stay focused and prepare as best as possible with a positive mental attitude and leave the rest up to the Almighty," said the 2006 World Cup team member.
Theobald said he was disappointed that the Ministry would use the exit from the World Cup 2014 campaign as a reason not to support the senior team.
"So what about the other teams that are not in the World Cup? You are trying to tell us that they are not being supported or loved by their leaders? When other athletes in the build up to the Olympics were not winning or performing well, did the Government come out and tell them we cannot support you at the Olympics?
Then we were all happy about bringing home medals. How do they expect success to come if they don't want to invest and help in the road to success?"
In a press release, yesterday, the TTFF said "it will attempt to meet all the requirements pertaining to this country's participation at the upcoming group opening group phase of the Caribbean Cup in St Kitts/Nevis next week
"The deadline for the submission of the participating squad to the Caribbean Football Union is Friday October 5th, 2012 and the TTFF will proceed with submitting the information on Friday (today).
Training sessions will continue at the Larry Gomes Stadium. All other arrangements and necessary efforts are being made in an attempt to ensure that the team departs on Monday.
"There continues to be ongoing discussions with partners," the release continued, "and the TTFF remains hopeful that the team goes on to participate in the tournament.
"There has been some solidarity shown to the cause as on Thursday (yesterday) the amount of TT$2,000 was contributed by various individuals desirous of seeing the national team engage in international competition. A total of TT$7,000 has been collected by TTFF Marketing over the past week."

It wasn't easy as the Cougars were missing stars Kristian Roos, Aedan Joel and Aidan Murphy due to lingering illnesses. However, the team dug into its reserve strength and succeeded in their meeting with Delbarton. The Cougars showed their balance by winning on the Track by a 39-38 score.

Hello October! As we settle into autumn, we're all thinking about ways to make our homes feel cosy and comfortable, and ready to snuggle up in during those incoming chilly days.
But with so much information, imagery and places to shop out there, that can be overwhelming. Understandably, lots of us need a little guidance in creating our dream spaces. So, with that in mind, we're super excited to announce that our Partner of the Month for October is Rema Design.
Rema Design is a fun and vibrant Interior design studio and online homeware boutique founded by Naomi Lai. The aim of her game is to create spaces that reflect her clients' vision and personality while injecting excitement into their homes. Rema Design's signature style is just that – exciting! It's timeless and elegant, but it has a little twist of quirkiness – to reflect your personality.
What makes Rema Design so unique is that Naomi offers an affordable and stress-free e-design service. E-design, or online design, removes the project management aspect, and therefore, reduces the cost to you.
Rema Design offers a basic package at a super-affordable €200, and a premium package at €350. Once you decide on a package, you'll be contacted within 24 hours and asked to fill in a questionnaire to give Naomi and team a sense of direction and to help them gauge a vision for your space.
You'll then be asked to send an image board of three-to-five images you like. After a brief phone call, the interior designer at Rema Design will get to work finding the most beautiful finishes and furniture for your space.
Within two weeks, you can expect Rema Design to present your finished room design. Depending on the chosen package, you'll receive a mood board, samples, a 2D or 3D floor plan displaying how to lay out your room, and a shopping list for you to buy the chosen furniture and accessories.
No matter your budget, Rema Design will seek out the most suitable pieces for your space. This is the perfect solution for interior-lovers who enjoy shopping and the occasional DIY, but just need a set of fresh eyes to give them some direction.
Here's the news!
What's even better is that Rema Design's online interior store launches this month.
"We dare to be adventurous in our approach to design and that's reflected in our carefully selected eclectic pieces,", they tell us. The store is going to be jam-packed with colourful, quirky pieces that will add a touch of fun to your home.
It's also going to be the perfect spot to play Santa and find unique gifts for those interior-lovers in your life. We're already dropping hints to our pals that we're obsessed with the leopard candlestick holders – run, don't walk to get yours.
Throughout the month, keep an eye out for advice and trend tips from Rema Interiors, and in the meantime, you can check out the website or drop them a line at [email protected].

The following is another 'censored comment' – censored by yet another website that shouts to the rooftops for 'free speech' and 'liberty'.
It's written regarding a lengthy post by the now deceased, Robert Parry. Though the piece was originally written in 2013, Consortium News did a repost of it on 10 August 2019.
Robert Parry, founder of this site, exposed in this Jan. 2013 article the dangerous & false idea the U.S. Constitution Framers put in the 2nd Amendment so an armed population could fight the government the Framers had just created.
Those who wish to read it in its entirety can click here.
The comment:
What an absurdly disingenuous piece of…crap (to be polite).
The 'framers' of the Constitution were very well aware that though they instituted a government with the best intentions, that government – just as well as any – could become corrupt and tyranny could still arise.
No amount of 'historical' spin will change the original intent:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Clearly: for 'the security of a FREE state' it is the 'right of the PEOPLE' to keep and bear arms. NOT the government, police, or any other 'official' representatives.
Robert Parry's screed is so utterly disingenuous it's simply reprehensible.

After meticulously planning out a route to avoid doubling back as much as possible, we set out, armed with 13 other listings, a map, some snacks and water, and ready to see what else was out there. We must have forgotten that we were driving in Hickory, where doubling back and turning around are not optional.
Us: Hello, HAZMAT? Yes, we want vinyl siding.
As we continue to drive, we delve into some of the not so good areas. Remember in an earlier post when we told you that Coach Elder's wife, Cindy, told us that the closer to the train tracks, the more transient the population in this area was and we should probably avoid those areas? Well, we did not heed her advice. You see, she might have known more than we had expected when we decided to look around the area of the school she works at (near the tracks!).
Nancy was driving, and Jason was looking for the next place on the map. We had gotten turned around as a result of a one way street (what a surprise). It was becoming a bit more discouraging as listing after listing became more and more disappointing. Several blocks behind the school, as Jason is deep into the map, Nancy exclaims, "Oh!!!" as in shock and horror, not excitement and delight. To which, Nancy finishes off the statement by uttering the now famous words: "That kid has a gun."
That's right. A gun. And yes, some of the questions you are probably asking yourself are the same ones Jason asked. Was it a BB gun? Maybe it was a toy? Did he look like he was hunting? The answers were all, "No." So much for a leisurely Sunday stroll. Needless to say, the house that we were looking for was eliminated for that, the gravel drive, and rusty beams in the front.
The Gun House
It got more bizarre. A house, which was listed as 2,096 square feet, had only 0.14 acres. The house size sounded impressive, but how do you get that much house on that little land? Jason will tell you he never saw the house or the land because he was flipping out. After turning down a very tiny, shared driveway with three other small, somewhat rickety looking houses, passing the chain-link fence with the Beware of Dog sign, then, one assumes, the same dog starting to bark, Jason was ready to put this at the bottom of the pile (even below the Gun House) and was frantically asking Nancy to turn around and leave.
"Beware of Dogs, Shared Drive, Never really saw it" House
We made our way to see the last two houses on the list just as night was falling. As we were looking for the last ones off of Highway 70, we noticed a cop car pull someone over. As we got lost looking for the last house several minutes later, we saw what appeared to have been a fender bender at a light, and this time, the Long View Fire Department had responded. And yes, by the time we saw the last house, it was completely dark and we got lost looking for it twice (again, so much for planning out a great route)!
So at the end of the drive, we reviewed the top 3 houses. Amazingly enough, the Asbestos House was still on top. It had good square footage but no stairs for the cats. It had inside renovations but the garage had no doors. It was more of a detached car port with three walls than it was a garage.
The next house on the pile seemed to have an interesting floor plan based on the outside and the description given on the paper in the information box out front. The drive was gravel and the glass doors you see below are the front door. The house to the left (not in the picture) looks like a tornado hit it.
The Interesting Floorplan House
The third house on the pile was probably the closest to ressembling House #2, with a few exceptions. They had similar square footage and multiple levels (meaning stairs). This one is on a corner lot across the street from Food Lion near the intersection of two fairly busy streets. The tight driveway is behind the house off of the main road (yes, one of the busy streets). It also didn't seem to have as many windows.
The Food Lion House
So after going through these listings we noticed one thing that they all had in common: they were farther north than House #2 therefore would not help Nancy's commute time as much. The more we talked, the more pros we came up with for House #2. Each time we mentioned the other houses the more cons we came up with for them.
Next time: We are so serious about House #2 that we get both sets of parents to check it out with us. Is this like bringing your date home to meet your parents….?

Stunt Master
In this exciting action game, you are the stunt man. It's your job to make the stunts look awesome by showing off your moves. You get major points if you break stuff, yourself, hit targets, and go airborne! To complete a level, you must make it past the final camera crew to hit your mark. You get to choose what kind of stunt you will do. Running man Stunt: Running and jumping. Bike Bandit Stunt: Faster, but much more fragile. You must control the bike at all times. Mustang Mayhem Stunt: Slower than the bike, but tougher. Before each level starts, you are given a preview of what it's like, to give you an idea of what you can do, and where to be the most careful. If you mess up, you can always press R to restart the level. If you crash, you will have to restart. Once you complete a level, you can replay it as many times as you'd like to get a better score. As you progress, the difficulty of each level increases, and you have to learn how to avoid crashing. Show off your moves and record the best scenes!
Use the up arrow key to run. Use the space bar to jump, pop wheelies when you're on the motorcycle, or to hit nitro in the car. R to restart a level.

Did Anyone Care that He Was Alone?
Three years ago, a civic leader here in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, told us that she believed if more people had "someone to tell it to" in their lives, very possibly there would be fewer acts of violence, fewer incidents of abuse, and fewer mass shootings across our land.
Three years later, we are utterly saddened and not a little angry that yet another public tragedy has devastated another U.S. community. The toll this violence is taking is profound. On Valentine's Day, no less – a day that is supposed to be about love. On Ash Wednesday, too – a sacred day for more than a billion people around the world, a day of self-examination and atonement. Where do we need to atone? Where do we need to examine our hearts? Where do we need to love even more?
One day after this latest horrific and senseless act has ripped our national spirit, we received this message from a dear friend to whom Someone To Tell It To has listened.:
I find myself wondering in cases like this, didn't anyone care about Nikolas Cruz? His adoptive mother died last November and his father died several years ago. He was considered odd but was often friendly and outgoing. He was expelled from school for misbehaving. He lived with "friends". Did anyone really reach out to him? Did anyone care that he was alone? No family, no friends. I am by no means excusing what happened; I have 4 grandchildren in public schools. But how did Nicholas manage with no one caring, it seems, whether he lived or died.
"Just needed to get that off my chest. I think how different things might have been if he had had someone to tell it to.
Yes, "someone to tell it to". Maybe things would have been different for Nicholas Cruz and the 17 students and teachers he killed and the many others he wounded and all those who love them today.
Someone To Tell It To exists quite simply to listen intentionally and compassionately to those among us who experience loneliness, grief, depression, heartbreak, and who have questions about the purpose and meaning of their lives. We also exist to mentor others to do the same. We want to sustain and grow a movement in which everyone knows he matters, in which everyone understands she is valued, in which everyone of us can receive the care and support we need.
So that violence might stop. So that abuse might end. So that mass shootings might never need to be a headline again.
How might you listen more intentionally, reach out more compassionately, and help this movement deepen? We'd love to hear from you to learn how you might join us in helping things to be different beginning today.

The terms absorption and adsorption are used freely to indicate the same process of taking moisture from the air using desiccants, mostly because we don't want to complicate the explanation of what our product does. But there is a difference.
Absorption generally refers to two phenomena which are largely unrelated. In one case, it refers to when atoms, molecules, or ions enter some bulk phase – gas, liquid or solid material. For instance, a sponge absorbs water when it is dry.
Absorption also refers to the the process by which the energy of a photon is taken up by another entity, for example, by an atom whose valence electrons make transition between two electronic energy levels. The photon is destroyed in the process. The absorbed energy may be re-emitted as radiant energy or transformed into heat energy. The absorption of light during wave propagation is often called attenuation. The tools of spectroscopy in chemistry are based on the absorption of photons by atoms and molecules.
Adsorption is similar, but refers to a surface rather than a volume: adsorption is a process that occurs when a gas or liquid solute accumulates on the surface of a solid or, more rarely, a liquid (adsorbent), forming a molecular or atomic film (the adsorbate). It is different from absorption, in which a substance diffuses into a liquid or solid to form a solution. This is what happens to calcium chloride desiccants in container shipments.
Sorption encompasses both processes, while desorption is the reverse process.

SignatureWeather forecasts of even a few days ahead are consistently wrong, yet the weather offices talk with certainty about global warming in 20, 30 and 50 years. The usual explanation is that weather forecasts are different than climate forecasts.
Climate is the average of the weather, so if the weather is wrong the climate is wrong.
Man made "Global Warming" is matter of religious belief and has nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with Science.
