Underpinning all our knowledge of the world and its workings is mystery.
The Christian theologian Karl Rahner writes: "Mystery is something familiar, something that we love, even when we are terrified by it or perhaps even annoyed or angered and what to be done with it… In the ultimate depths of our being we know nothing more surely than that our knowledge, that is, what is called knowledge in everyday parlance, is only a small island in a vast sea, but ultimately it is borne by the sea. Hence the deepest question for us humans is this. Which do we love more, the small island of our so-called knowledge or the sea of infinite mystery?"
I have discovered for me that "the small island" that comprises the traditional religious beliefs I was raised with and the dogmas and creeds that were spoon fed to me give me no reliable information about the nature of mystery. The tenets and closed ended affirmations, the once and for all proclamations of what brings salvation and what is the meaning of life, may bring for many a craved sense of security, and be enough. But they leave me feeling like I've only stuck a timid toe in, never plunging down into the depths of the ineffable.
Religious practices that place us in relation to the real, transforming power of mystery, the power of God, the ones that have as a participant with this creative force, this energy alive but resisting definition, that puts us squarely in the face of mystery, in a direct experiential way; that's what I'm talking about. Hoping to risk my significance for this. Hoping I can.
What has been most imperative it seems is that I empty myself, or perhaps more accurately, be more self-giving. I must commit myself to the process, as much as I can each day. And as only God knows, this level of commitment shifts from day-to-day, moment to moment.
How do I know if I'm actually floating in this vast sea of mystery? It's usually what I never initially intended. It always when I am not attempting to shape the world closer to my own heart's desire but instead am somehow having my heart transformed so that what I now want is something very different that what I desired at the beginning.
While I can dally in the idea of God beyond space and time, I need a religious reality than must be some aspect of the observable, natural world. It is infallible because it holds together when I am broken, and while great disasters are not averted here in the real world, personal ones, local ones, global ones, they are not the final answer.
When what had once appeared as mundane events in a life of what can at times feel like an endless loop of dry cleaning, dog walking, work, dinner preparation, sleep, repeat again, now is punctuated with encounters and events pervasive with meaning. Where once had been merely material happenings randomly occurring, there is now richness and trust in the very process of life, perhaps even prophecy, that is mystery.
There is not longer just my story, my will. Letting go of control, of plans,what is exposed is a collective tendency within the world to create ever-increasing complex wholes, in which the parts work together to enhance and magnify each other.
That these daily moments of grace happen is a practice of noticing. How they happen is mystery.

Why, hello there. Yes, it has been a while since I've posted anything here. Yes, I am sorry. A lot has happened since the last post. So far, mostly all good things and a few that have just been eh. So far all the good things are for me personally on a medical level. For the month of August, I have like a bazillion and one doctor appointments, education classes and an overnight study.
The overnight one is tonight and it's to officially diagnose that I have sleep apnea. I'm actually a little scared to go to this one, mostly because I don't know if I will be able to fall asleep. I suppose if I'm tired enough, I won't have trouble falling asleep.
The other appointments are things that I need to go to for the eventual goal of surgery to assist with weight loss. Now, these appointments scare me a lot actually. I know that I'm ready for this change, but every now and then I get that little seed of doubt and it blooms into something that's just there, constantly telling me that I'm not ready or worthy of this to make myself better. I think a lot of the reason why that seed gets planted is because when my person had surgery as well for weight loss, I saw that as cheating. I still honestly see it as cheating with him because he never tried to lose weight on his own. Hell, he's gained some weight back because he has not truly changed his eating habits. The only thing he changed about it was portion size and how often he eats, but as for what sorts of foods he eats… Not the best choices. I'm not saying I'm any better in that area, especially considering I've eaten pizza probably eight days out of the last ten. So, not the best, but certainly not the worst.
So let's see… other good news. I'm still working on my Batman project and have completed twenty-two parts and current word count sits at 56,962. That's pretty impressive considering I've only been working a little over a month, I think.. it might be a little longer actually, but either way, it hasn't been years like my Star Wars project. Anyway, it has surpassed my Star Wars project in terms of content and finished parts. SW has I think eleven or twelve parts that I have deemed done done done, and about ten other parts that are in the process of being written. Another thing about the SW project is that I started it way back in 1999 when Episode I came out and it's nowhere near being finished. Since I first started writing it, it's gone through some major overhauls and changes. But the base of it is the same and I don't know that I will ever get it finished. I think that's just going to be one of those things that I go back to every so often to work on.
It's weird and strangely comforting to go back and read the original writing for that, and any of my other writing, actually. It helps me see how much I've grown as a writer and even my handwriting over the years.
I don't know, I'm rambling again.. So I guess that means I should end the post before I really go off on some whacked out tangent.

Whenever there is enthusiasm, there is a creative empowerment that goes far beyond what a mere person is capable of.
—Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth
Passion, excitement and enthusiasm are all very important parts of success and ones that are often overlooked.
Consider for a moment a time in your career when you really weren't excited about your job or a certain project. If you are truly honest with yourself, did you put your whole self into that job or project? Did you achieve the very best results you could have? Although it is possible to achieve good results when you lack passion, amazing results and grand accomplishments are much less likely. Consider another time in your life when you were really excited and enthusiastic about a project, were the results merely good or were they beyond what you could have imagined?
When we are excited and passionate we are definitely more likely to achieve great results than when a task or activity seems boring or when we lose our passion. The next time you find yourself "dragging your heels", ask yourself what you can do to gain excitement about the project. Finding enthusiasm is a definite way to ensure better results and enjoy the process while you are in it!

Mokume Gane Pendants
I am attempting to gain college credit by evaluation for some of my art/craftwork skills. I was challenged to create a new polymer clay technique by one of the school's evaluators - and I'm glad I was, because this is the result. This is my take on the mokume gane technique (pronounced moh-koo-meh-gah-neh), which was originally a Japanese metalwork technique. For me, the process involved a lot of layering and manipulating different colors of polymer clay, then imprinting and shaving off the very top layer to reveal the wonderful marbling effect within. This was no easy feat - it was tricky, especially the shaving part. Each pendant has copper flake inclusions which I placed in between some of the layers when I was making them - it's the most obvious in the middle pendant above. I will be posting some pictures of the process as well (see above).

Hard to believe but true. It really exists.
The blog is written by Dave Trott. Dave Trott is one of the true legends of UK advertising. He's David Abbott's equal. And Charles Saatchi's equal. He says he's not John Webster's equal. I think he's wrong.
But, unlike his aforementioned equals, Dave writes a blog. And it's great.
Most ad blogs suffer from NOT being written by industry legends. Not Dave's.
If you like free wisdom, you'll love his blog.

Houten SM, Auwerx J. PGC-1alpha: turbocharging mitochondria. Cell. 2004 Oct 1;119(1):5-7. PubMed.
Please login to recommend the paper.
The excellent study by Spiegelman and colleagues shows that the absence of PGC-1 α, a coactivator of transcription factors including the PPAR family of nuclear receptors, leads to Huntington disease-like neurodegeneration in the mouse brain. As mentioned by the authors, a key implication of the study is that "in addition to its well established role in regulating mitochondrial gene expression, PGC-1α may have an important function in the control of neuronal gene expression and function." The study thus suggests a PGC-1α-mediated link between mitochondrial activity and neurogenesis, and opens the possibility that modulation of PGC activity could be of therapeutic interest in neurodegenerative diseases.
These are important ideas, and it is tempting to draw a connection to neurodegenerative diseases like AD wherein: 1) mitochondrial dysfunction could be a pathogenic factor, and 2) the therapeutic benefit of treatment with PPAR agonists is currently being examined in several clinical trials. It is too premature, however, to suggest a role of PGC-1α—or lack thereof—in AD. First, the areas altered in the PGC-1α-null mouse—striatum—and the symptom—hyperactivity—are not characteristic of AD. It should be noted, however, that the study explores the consequences of PGC deficiency in brain development but not in synaptic plasticity at an older age. Second, while stimulation with PPAR agonists is being considered for AD(see ARF related news story) the already very comprehensive study by Spiegelman et al. does not reveal whether the neurodegeneration resulting from PGC-1α depletion is related to PPARs. There is thus no basis to argue that activation of PGC-1α-mediated pathways may account for the benefits derived from PPAR treatment, although this is certainly an interesting possibility to explore.View all comments by Elena Galea

Aho my relatives who flow, dancing and singing to bring us all home. Blessings to all that grow near to her girth. We are stepping to the beat of the heart. Come my relatives let us join others to dew their parts. All a good circle, all a good deed, just know that equality means sending love in the breeze. Stillness to goodness is divine rights we place, on every step, it's beat keeps us to weep.
Stars from heaven shine down upon our souls, we will know wisdom, it's pure solid gold. And thine is tomorrow, the sake of time gone by, but my soul is enlightened when I dance to and fro. Gift this song and dance to all that I greet. I invite you to come to my sorrow and grief. And there you will find washing of tears flow gone by, just to say I will miss you, now it's time for a good cry. Let us lift our hearts and touch the radiant sky, in darkness the new moon, the ghost begins again. And we will touch the heavens like stars in the winds, the rainbow is calling and now it's begins.
Wake up to the heaven's to the royal girth, where earth is her majesty, the paradise we kiss her worth. And as our souls become holy, the holy ghost is set free, with love in the bounty, with love to gather in the seas. We are the shining doves, when we share our souls, in the ghost of illusion, the dancing feels good. And when it's a radiate spirit, the illusion is cleansed, then all that is left is great hope in the winds.
We gift and we bow to the world this sacred day. We gift our hearts forever, we are destine to find our way. And as we give this wonder, the place we shine to sea, that all my relatives know divine inside of thee. Let us all keep royal company (true blue)!

WOW October Totals 34,280 Meals
October was a busy and exciting month for Kids Against Hunger Sioux Falls. We held only five packing sessions but still packed over 34,000 meals. The University of Sioux Falls came in and packed 15,000 in less than two hours! It was exciting to see how hard they worked and what beautiful artwork was done on the boxes we will send to Haiti later this month. Even better news is that they will return again this month to do it all over again.
Many people ask how they can get involved. I guess the best way to get involved is to stop by sometime and see what we are doing. Maybe you'd like to become a "Leader of the Pack". It means joining with 2 or 3 other leaders and greeting, instructing, supervising, preparing a sample of our food, cleaning up and then saying good bye to new friends. It involves about 2 to 3 hours of your time.
We will be supplying meals to Faith Temple in Sioux Falls. They have a Friday Night Food Give Away. People who have packed the meals at our packing center will pass out the meals to nearly 400 families that show up. We have many families here in Sioux Falls that will benefit from our Kids Against Hunger meals. We will continure to honor requests for our food wherever they come from.
Look at our "Get Involved" page to see the schedule for November. Then drop by and see what's happening. You might even be put to work.

Revolutionizing Charitable Giving
History & Inspiration
Scott Krase, Founder of one2one USA Foundation, and his family have been providing financial aid to individuals in need for a number of years. From these endeavors, they learned firsthand how it felt to change someone's life in such a direct way. The donees' lives were immediately and positively impacted and at the same time, the power of the donation was witnessed and felt by his entire family. Their involvement allowed for personal connections with these individuals, enabling and encouraging them to provide ongoing aid where and when it helped the most.
Inspired by these personal experiences, he came up with the idea for one2one USA Foundation. His goal was to de-institutionalize charitable giving to make it more meaningful for the Donor and more effective for the donee. The intent was to create a charitable vehicle that facilitates grants to individuals in a manner that would be tax-deductible and completely transparent to the Donor so they could follow their funds, witness the impact to their donee and know how each dollar was spent. Of utmost importance, he wanted to help Donors best achieve their philanthropic goals and aspirations by pairing them with needy individuals who could benefit the most.
Our vision is to give countless Donors the ability to reach donees directly in personally relevant, meaningful and transparent ways.

Steve found this in your desk. It sounds like you; we're sure you wanted us to find it!
To those I have loved and to those who loved me,
When I am gone release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do.
You must not tie yourself to me with tears,
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my love and you can only guess,
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,

So grieve awhile for me if grieve you must.
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for awhile that we must part,
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on,
So if you need me, call, and I will come.
Though you can't see nor touch me, I'll be near,

Sea salt pepper flakes La Chinata
52.8 € / gr
16.94 € (VAT included)
Sea salt flavored with peppers, from La Chinata – a surprising flavor, but an appetizing one. Unlike table salt, sea salt carries no additional health risks, because it's so rich in minerals and trace elements. Additionally, because of its high mineral content, less is required to achieve the same flavor, so it can be used in smaller quantities than common salt. The flakes are fragile crystals that can easily be flaked between the fingers, and it dissolves extremely quickly. Because of this it's recommended to season finished food just prior to serving, so your guests can enjoy it to its fullest. It's especially well suited to flavoring meat dishes. The Spanish name for this product is, "Sal marina en escamas pimientas La Chinata."
The story of la Chinata begins in 1932, when the family's ancestors began to press olives in the Sierra de Gata region. At that time, olive oil was obtained in very simple mills: the olives would be brought into the stone mills, or "epiedros," and crushed to a paste, which would then be pressed to extract the oil. La Chinata is dedicated to the production of gourmet products and cosmetics based on premium extra virgin olive oil.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is exploring how to dismantle or bypass Obama-era constraints intended to prevent civilian deaths from drone attacks, commando raids and other counterterrorism missions outside conventional war zones like Afghanistan and Iraq, according to officials familiar with internal deliberations.
Already, President Trump has granted a Pentagon request to declare parts of three provinces of Yemen to be an "area of active hostilities" where looser battlefield rules apply. That opened the door to a Special Operations raid in late January in which several civilians were killed, as well as to the largest-ever series of American airstrikes targeting Yemen-based Qaeda militants, starting nearly two weeks ago, the officials said.
Mr. Trump is also expected to sign off soon on a similar Pentagon proposal to designate parts of Somalia to be another such battlefield-style zone for 180 days, removing constraints on airstrikes and raids targeting people suspected of being militants with the Qaeda-linked group the Shabab, they said.
Inside the White House, the temporary suspension of the limits for parts of Yemen and Somalia is seen as a test run while the government considers whether to more broadly rescind or relax the Obama-era rules, said the officials, who described the internal deliberations on the condition of anonymity.
The move to open the throttle on using military force — and accept a greater risk of civilian casualties — in troubled parts of the Muslim world comes as the Trump administration is also trying to significantly increase military spending and cut foreign aid and State Department budgets.
The proposal to cut so-called soft-power budgets, however, is meeting with stiff resistance from some senior Republicans on Capitol Hill, as well as from top active-duty and retired generals and admirals, who fear perpetual conflicts if the root causes of instability and terrorism are not addressed.
"Any budget we pass that guts the State Department's budget, you will never win this war," Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican on the Armed Services Committee, said during a hearing last week. Referring to the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, he added, "As a matter of fact, ISIL will be celebrating."
In a sign of mounting concern over the government's policy review, more than three dozen members of America's national security establishment have urged Defense Secretary Jim Mattis to maintain the thrust of the Obama-era principles for counterterrorism missions, saying strict standards should be maintained for using force outside traditional war zones.
The former officials, in a letter sent on Sunday to Mr. Mattis, warned that "even small numbers of unintentional civilian deaths or injuries — whether or not legally permitted — can cause significant strategic setbacks," increasing violence from militant groups or prompting partners and allies to reduce collaboration with the United States.
Indeed, immediately after the Special Operations raid on Jan. 29, Yemeni officials suspended further commando missions, pending an assessment of what went wrong, although they later backtracked.
The letter's 37 signatories included John E. McLaughlin, who was the acting C.I.A. director for President George W. Bush; Lisa O. Monaco, President Barack Obama's Homeland Security and counterterrorism adviser; and Matthew G. Olsen, who served as a national security official in the Bush Justice Department and as the director of the National Counterterrorism Center in the Obama administration.
The White House did not respond to a request for an interview about this article.
Mr. Obama imposed the civilian-protection rules in May 2013 as part of an effort to recalibrate counterterrorism operations after he had overseen a steep increase in military and C.I.A. drone strikes in places like Yemen and tribal Pakistan.
Critics, including inside the government, worried that the strikes were causing too many civilian casualties, driving terrorist recruitment and undermining support among local partners in the regions. In response, the Obama administration developed the rules, known as the Presidential Policy Guidance.
Under those rules, cabinet officials generally must agree in high-level deliberations that a proposed target away from a traditional war zone poses a threat to Americans. That is intended to limit strikes targeting generic groups of suspected low-level foot soldiers. And there must be "near certainty" that no civilians will be killed.
By contrast, in a standard war zone, military commanders can approve a strike without interagency review in Washington, and some civilian casualties are acceptable under the laws of war, as long as they are deemed necessary and proportionate to a legitimate military objective.
Military operators have chafed under the 2013 rules, but the Obama administration saw them as a signature accomplishment in the era of drones and open-ended war on terrorism. In his last year in office, Mr. Obama issued an executive order requiring the government to disclose annually its official estimate of civilian and combatant deaths from counterterrorism airstrikes away from war zones.
Still, in its final year in power, the Obama administration declared the area around Surt, Libya, to be an "area of active hostilities." It then started a sustained campaign of 495 airstrikes targeting Islamic State militias there. Mr. Obama revoked the Surt declaration hours before Mr. Trump's inauguration.
The Obama administration also permitted the Defense Department to carry out an escalated campaign of airstrikes last year in Somalia that the United States Africa Command started without going through the process laid out by the 2013 rules. Instead, those airstrikes were justified under an expansive theory of collective self-defense to protect African Union and Somali forces being trained and advised by the United States.
Against that backdrop, officials said, both the Central Command, which oversees military activity in Yemen, and Africa Command, which oversees it in Somalia, had already been developing proposals by mid-2016 to ask for parts of Yemen and Somalia to be declared active-hostilities zones, officials said. They submitted those to the Joint Chiefs of Staff's "J5" directorate, which handles strategic plans and policy.
As a result, the Pentagon was in a position to swiftly bring the ideas forward to Mr. Trump, whose inauguration raised expectations that the White House would be more permissive. The officials said that Mr. Mattis signed one-page memos to Mr. Trump asking for each authority, backed by about five pages of supporting material, within days of Mr. Trump's becoming president in January.
Several officials said Mr. Trump signed off on making parts of Yemen an active-hostilities zone at the same dinner with Mr. Mattis five days after his inauguration where he approved the ill-fated raid on a Qaeda compound in Yemen. At the time, they said, the expectation was that the Somalia proposal would be swiftly signed, too, and that the larger 2013 rules could be jettisoned swiftly.
On Jan. 28, Mr. Trump signed a presidential national security memorandum directing the military to give him a plan within 30 days to defeat the Islamic State. It said the plan should include "recommended changes to any United States rules of engagement and other United States policy restrictions that exceed the requirements of international law regarding the use of force," a veiled reference to rescinding the 2013 limits on airstrikes.
But the momentum for rapid change broke, the officials said, after the Yemen raid, which resulted in numerous civilian deaths, including of children; the death of a member of the Navy's SEAL Team 6 and the wounding of three others; and the loss of a $75 million aircraft.
As a result, Mr. Trump's national security advisers — first Michael T. Flynn, who has since resigned, and now Lt. Gen. H. R. McMaster — have slowed the review process down while letting operations in Yemen, and soon Somalia, play out as test runs, the officials said.

My friend, Steve Froehlich, pastor of New Life Presbyterian Church (Ithaca, NY) recently sent this little essay to the members of his congregation. It's an appreciation of John Calvin (1509 – 1564). I had been thinking of writing a similar piece for a couple of reasons. One was that last year I reread Calvin's Institutes. It stimulated my mind, warmed my heart, nourished my soul, and confirmed my faith. I have written on this blog how my spiritual pilgrimage saw me move from the fundamentalism of my childhood in a group called the Plymouth Brethren. What I moved to—intentionally and by conviction—is to choose to live in a theological and church tradition that stretches back to the work of this Reformer. The tradition is usually known as Calvinism, though Calvin rooted his thinking in the teaching of St Augustine, who rooted his in the apostolic tradition of the first century. In any case, in the spirit of refusing to reinvent the wheel, I asked Steve's permission to post his appreciation of John Calvin here. He says what I think, only better:
Today, June 10, 2009, marks the 500th anniversary of the birth of John Calvin. Calvin stands as one of the handful of towering saints over the past 2,000 years whose life and teaching have been used by God to shape the thinking and character of the Church and her mission in the world. Like Augustine and Aquinas before him and Jonathan Edwards and John Owen after him (imperfect men, all), he has taught us to handle God's Word wisely that we may know God more deeply that we may live more richly to his glory. His influence has spanned nations, continents, and cultures over the last half a millennium shaping legal, economic, as well as ecclesiastical polity; and for those many ways in which he was faithful to God and helpful to God's people, we remember and give thanks to him and to our God who graciously worked through him.
If you care to read on, allow me to encourage you to become better acquainted with Pastor John.
Calvin's magnum opus is his Institutes of the Christian Religion, the first edition of which was published in 1536 when he was 27 years old. Of the Institutes (by this title Calvin meant "instruction in the basics"), William Cunningham, the formidable 19th century Scottish theologian said, "The Instutatio of Calvin is the most important work in the history of theological science and has exerted the greatest and most beneficial influence upon the opinions of intelligent men on theological subjects." D. Martin Lloyd-Jones, the magisterial Welsh preacher of the mid-20th century said, "The Institutes are in and of themselves a theological classic. No work had had a greater or more formative influence on Protestant theology. It is not always realized however that in addition to its massive and sublime thought it is written in a style that is most moving, and at times thrilling. Unlike most modern theology which claims to derive from it, it is deeply devotional. The most urgent reason why all should read the Institutes, however, is to be found in the times in which we live. In a world which is shaking in its very foundations and which lacks any ultimate authority, nothing is so calculated to strengthen and stabilize one's soul as this magnificent exposition." J. I. Packer of our own era regards the Institutes as the greatest resource used by God to effect the formation of his spiritual DNA. By reading and studying the Institutes, Packer recognized how God uses good theologizing to "sanctify the mind and heart and deepen one's doctrine, devotion, and doxology all together."
Packer identifies 5 ways that Calvin, principally through the Institutes, proved formative in the priority and personality of his own life's work as a minister and theologian.
"Calvin showed me how to think to the glory of God. My goal became and remains to think, speak, and write if I can to the same effect as did Calvin, ever making God look greater and more wonderful and man smaller and less significant than either had seemed before the theological thought process began.
"Calvin confirmed me in my view of Holy Scripture. Despite my preconversion certainty that no educated person could treat the Bible as God's true and trustworthy Word, after reading the Institutes I found myself unable to doubt that it was precisely that.
"Calvin changed me from a sectarian to a churchman. It was Calvin more than anyone else who made me realize that my sectarianism, like so much else about me in those days, was the juvenile immaturity of a half-baked student, and that as part of my growing up process I must exchange it for the responsible adult churchmanship that he himself modeled.
"Calvin formed me as a Bible-led rather than a system-driven systematist. Calvin regularly went to the limit of what Scripture says, arguing that nothing in the Bible is superfluous, but he would not go to one step beyond that limit, insisting that the right course now was not to try to fill gaps in our understanding by guesswork, but rather to move into adoration and praise for all that God has told us.
"Calvin led me in claiming, and reclaiming, all life for God in Jesus Christ, and valuing all goodness and beauty as his gift."
In 1991, Packer paid tribute to his ancient mentor in a whimsical piece written for Christianity Today under the title "Fan Mail to Calvin."
"Dear John,
"This is a fan letter, naked and unashamed, one that I have long wanted to write, even though for obvious reasons I cannot mail it to you. But public acknowledgement of one's debts is good for the soul, and when one is a teacher of theology it is good for the church, too. I don't know why, but Christians I meet seem to think that theologians who teach spring fully formed from the womb and work in isolation form one another—hence the 'I am of Calvin' / 'I am of Finney' / 'I am of Pannenberg,' which Paul would surely have nailed as pure Corinthianism.
"I wish people grasped that theologians, like other Christians, learn with the saints in the multigenerational fellowship that is the church, where mentors, pastors, and peers help us to see things see hadn't seen before. Augustine had Ambrose; and you had Augustine, Luther, and Bucer; and I had Owen, Warfield, and you. We get to where we are by standing on others' shoulders and benefiting from their brainwork. You were clear on that—much clearer than some of the hero-worshipers who have written books about you! No true theologian works as a one-man band.
"One thing you helped me see is where theologians really fit in. The church lives through the potency of preaching—the mystery of God's Spirit applying God's Word to God's people through God's spokesman. So the primary function of theologians is to ensure, so far as human beings can, that the Bible is explained right and applied properly. I think I only give the film version of your thought when I tell people that theologians are the church's plumbers, water engineers, and sewage-disposal experts—back-room boys whose crucial though unspectacular job is to secure for the pulpits a flow of pure and unpolluted Bible truth. You, of course, had a larger role; you were a preaching pastor, and you educated other preaching pastors in the academy. How you managed to get through it all, especially in those grisly last years when you were dying by inches, I shall never know. But it is for your clear grasp of the theologian's task that I admire you know.
"Another thing I learned from you was the true nature and ideal shape of what we nowadays call systematic theology. Your Institutes is a marvelous tapestry of evangelical wisdom that modeled for me the apostolic way of tying together the many strands of revealed truth about God's grace to a sinful world. You put the sovereignty of God, the mediation of Christ, and the ministration of the Spirit right at the center; you set up the life of faith and praise as the goal; and you did not write a speculative sentence from start to finish of your 700,000 words! I would like you to know that I have had the Institutes by me for 40 years [now, nearly 60], that I keep finding fresh wisdom in its pages to a degree that is positively uncanny, and that I am very grateful.
"The way you dealt with predestination, in particular, strikes me as an all-time brilliancy. Like Paul, in Romans, you separated it from the doctrine of providence and postponed it till you had spelled out the gospel, with its bona fide, whosoever-will promises; then you brought in the truth of election and reprobation, just as in Romans 8 and 9, not to frighten anyone, but to give believers reassurance, hope, and strength. It's a beautifully biblical and powerfully pastoral treatment.
"The irony is, as I expect you know, that in the 19th century the idea spread that all serious theologians arrange everything round a single focal thought, and yours was predestination, so they lost sight of your biblical breadth and balance and pictured you as a speculative monomaniac who pulled Scripture out of shape to make it fit a scheme of your own devising. That's still your public image, and Biblicists like you are still called Calvinists in a way that implies they have lost their biblical footing. Such is life! I expect you're glad to be out of it.
"With deepest respect and gratitude,
"J. I. Packer"
With the great British preacher at the turn of the 20th century I say, "I am never ashamed to avow myself a Calvinist." That is, with Spurgeon, I agree with Calvin's understanding of the Scriptures, even as I agree that we follow the man Calvin no more than any other pastor or teacher who follows in the footprints of Christ and faithfully handles the Word of God. I add my voice to the words of gratitude and praise spoken by those on whose shoulders I attempt to stand.
Soli deo Gloria!

The following is a summary of a report on a so-called roundtable conference on the future of Tamil Schools from the FMT website on the 27th of June 2011. The report starts with a grand: "In a historic roundtable conference, BN and Pakatan leaders joined hands to chart the future of Tamil schools." The stated purpose: "discussions were held to set up a steering committee to chart a blueprint for the future of Tamil schools in the country."
Present at the conference were SK Devamany, M Saravanan, DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang, Kulasegaran, P Ramasamy, M Manoharan , S Manikavasagam, Charles Santiago , R Sivarasah , Dr Xavier Jeyakumar, A Sivaneson, P Guna, Daljit Singh Dalliwal and S Ramakrishnan.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz,
chaired the conference. It is learnt that the steering committee would be made up of 18, there would be six members from BN, six from Pakatan and the rest from Tamil Foundation and other NGOs.
Now look at the report like this.
This is the making of a "Wayang Kulit" in grander 1Malaysia style. This amounts to the politicans fine tuning their approaches. Before only the MIC used to engage in this sort of deceptive wayang kulit. Now, in the last 3 years the Pakatan Indian reps have begun to play the same game – you see this regularly in mock cheques and computers given away in the Tamil newspapers. Yesterday
both these groups have taken this wayang kulit thing one stage further – in 1Malaysia style and these two groups are getting together for a joint wayang. This is 1Malaysia after all isn't it. History suggests that this is what is happening. If I am wrong, then they have to show that I am wrong now. And further as if to legitimize this wayang , they pull in a few Indian NGO reps to give it an appearance of a non-partisan effort.
For 54 years the UMNO regime has been using their accomplice MIC in the grand game of deceit of the Indian people. The Malay elite harbour an implicit desire to kill off the vernacular schools, but are blocked by the provisions in the Federal Constitution. To circumvent this, they adopt – and this is unstated private but explicit policy, an ambivalent attitude in public and a clear non-allocation of resources in private. They have been doing this with full collusion of the MIC accomplices.
.Article 12 reads:
Rights in respect of education
12. (1) Without prejudice to the generality of Article 8, there shall be no discrimination against any citizen on the grounds only of religion, race, descent or place of birth—
(a) in the administration of any educational institution maintained by a public authority, and, in particular, the admission of pupils or students or the payment of fees;
(b) in providing out of the funds of a public authority financial aid for the maintenance or education of
pupils or students in any educational institution (whether or not maintained by a public authority and whether within or outside the Federation). This is their way of killing off a part of the education system continued from the colonial times and which was institutionalized in the Federal Constitution.
Here is the reality.
The amounts spent annually on education is about 20% of a RM210 billion budget – works out to about RM 40 billion. The expenditure for just the MARA education system, not to mention everything else that occurs in the education arena, just this one – 42 MRSMs with a student population of 12,400 , with each such school costing anywhere from RM 50 -120 million to construct, 209 Giat MARA schools with a budgetary allocation of RM550 million in just the 10th Malaysia plan period alone, Institute Kemahiran MARA which has put out over 200,000 Malay students, MARA UiTM University with 4 satellite campuses, 12 branch campuses, 9 city campuses and 19 affiliated colleges with an enrollment of 120,000 students and 15,000 staff, and all the other MARA schemes for the last 54 years. How much do you think the expenditure on all of that may be. No clear stats are available for me to quote accurately. But I think easily that would be 30 to 50% of the RM40 billion annually.
If all of that was for 60 odd percent of the majority community of the country, how much should have been allocated to the Indians who constitute 7.4% of the population this year, given the provision in the Federal Constitution Article 12 – on equal treatment . Of course this statistics again is not available. You and I can venture guesses. My guess is that it is less than 0.1 % of all of this RM40 billion. Even the stated amounts of RM 100 million for each of the last 3 years – statement by Devamoney in this conference (which amount I think is just eyewash anyway – but this is what he stated) works out to a bare 0.25%. Like with all their allocation pronouncements for the Indian community, this is most likely a significant exaggeration.
See how serious the problem really is. A community starved of their rightful allocations for at least two generations. This has gone on unchecked for 54 years, just because of this kind of complicity and deception. It is this problem that these reps must really correct. They must get their fundamentals right first.
In light of this seriousness of the problem it is extremely frivolous on the part of these lawmakers to continue with this wayang nonsense – they want to set up a steering committee now, and for what – to do a blueprint – what nonsense. If they are really working for the good of the Indian community, they should all get together now and go to their tuans and towkays and ask for the rightful allocations, now!
We do not need another generation to lose out on something so fundamental as education. See the deleterious effects of this policy in just one aspect of the result– the increasing number of criminals among Indian youth, one in two youths that are in prison are Indians. These reps need to see what they are really dealing with.
If they do indeed represent the Indian people as they all project themselves to , then they have to start becoming effective in whatever they are doing. Without a doubt in my mind this is what they must all do, they should all get together now and go to their tuans and towkays and ask for the rightful allocations, now!. Otherwise I can only take it that they project themselves as representatives of Indians for no other reason than to make an income out of it for themselves. They are all today powerless because of the choices they all have made.They have chosen to make a personal career and a good income out of the miseries of the Indian poor.
If these reps are serious they should act where it matters. All the BN run states and the Pakatan run states should immediately and before the next elections alienate 5 acres of land to at least 10% of the schools in the country – about 50 of the schools to establish their bona fide intent. These representatives should show bona fide intention this way first while any blueprint or anything else in the form of a robust plan is drawn up.
If these reps are serious they should start there where they do have some authority, in the States where they are in the Exco lineup of the State. We do not need a blue print to start real activity, if that is the true intention it is only a matter of a will. This is well known, so, what is required now is action. Just allocate the land needed – 5 acres each, instead of doing as P.Ramasamy did a few months ago,when he told the people of Ladang Batu Kawan when they asked him for additional 3 acres of land to make their school a 5 acres school, that they and whoever was speaking up for them – in this case, Hindraf, should come up with the additional RM 3 million for the land for the school, as land was not cheap in Penang. This is exactly the kind of thing Samy Vellu has been saying all these 50 odd years as he played Tango with UMNO.
If your true intention is to undo a terrible injustice, then start where you must and can – do not mislead with wayangs. Enough of all that nonsense – we are all so sick and tired.
Go back to your PKR, DAP and UMNO tuans and towkays and just say it to them. Get the ball rolling. Do not form anymore committees – we need to see some action. Pakatan reps , understand this, you should have started on this at the beginning of your respective tenures in 2008 and not at the end of it in 2011. BN reps you should have started all of this 54 years ago.

Entry requirements
Entry to the Professional Engineering MSc normally requires the completion of an accredited BSc/BEng(Hons) degree. Those without such a degree but with suitable industrial experience, may join the MSc subject to assessment.
As the course is designed to take participants directly to CEng status, participants must also have significant engineering experience. (Engineers applying for CEng status need to have demonstrated the ability to apply their engineering knowledge within a practical engineering environment.) For those who have an accredited first degree (either BEng or BSc) we require a minimum of two years' relevant industrial or engineering experience. For those without such a degree, we will require a greater amount of industrial experience.
Please note: each application is assessed on an individual basis and may be subject to additional requirements, such as undertaking short course(s), work experience and/or English language qualification(s). Meeting particular minimum entry requirements does not automatically guarantee a place.
Months of entry
February, May, August, November
Course content
This course, which has been developed in conjunction with the Engineering Council, offers a work-based learning route to the academic qualifications and professional development you will need for registration as a chartered engineer (CEng). It allows you to acquire professional competencies alongside the MSc without the need to take time off work. The flexibility of the programme enables it to be adapted to almost any work situation, industry or location.
We help to match your workplace achievement against UK-SPEC competencies in a carefully defined, step-by-step, supervised way.
The application process is ongoing throughout the year, with four start points – August, November, February and May – to provide maximum flexibility.
What will you study
Supervisors with appropriate academic and professional qualifications work with you and your employer to design a unique programme of activities and goals that also aim to meet a development need for your employer. Typically lasting two to three years, this 'learning agreement', tailored to your specific work situation, uses your normal workplace activities in 'learning modules', which are recognised as further learning at masters level. Our supervisors will ensure that your individual programme meets the requirements of an MSc, and will enable you to demonstrate engineering skills and competencies needed for chartered engineer status.
Information for international students
In order to complete your programme successfully, it is important to have a good command of English and be able to apply this in an academic environment. Therefore, if you are a non-UK applicant* you will usually be required to provide certificated proof of English language competence before commencing your studies.
For this course the minimum requirement is Academic IELTS of 6.5 overall with 6.0 in Writing and 5.5 in Reading, Listening and Speaking.
Applicants who do not meet the English language requirements may be eligible to join our pre-sessional English language course.
