Disagreement is inevitable in every relationship. Regardless of your sound people skills, high emotional intelligence or your scrupulous anticipations of the unexpected, you will still have to come face to face with some kinds of disagreement with people. These could be as a result of them failing to understand your expectations or maybe they just prefer to do things or make decisions based on their own persuasions.
Whatever the cause of the disagreement may be, dialogue is an essential seed that produces reunion. Dialogue is a focused conversation between two or more individuals for the purpose of reconciliation.
When you enter into dialogue, be prepared to cooperate. When both sides come into the dialogue table willing to change, reconciliation becomes inevitable. The willingness to change by both parties is the heart-beat of true dialogue.
Healthy dialogue is a transparent negotiation with a view to arriving at a win-win destination. Therefore, being open to one another instead of simply fighting to maintain a prearranged position is the only way success can be achieved. Where there is no open dialogue, reactions, which are motivated by bitterness and revenge, become the only audible speakers.
Dialogue is a seed for discovery. Just like dialogue is a two-way conversation, it is also a two-way self-evaluation. Conversation will expose what your intuition cannot. During dialogue, you will learn more about the inclinations and the expectations of the other person. Likewise, you will have the opportunity to self-evaluate, leading to self-discovery.
God uses every disagreement to teach us how to be better in our love-walk. Healthy dialogue always reveals the areas our lives that require some development. It also exposes the hidden roots of potential conflicts and develops our sensitivity to the expectations and preferences of others.
It is scriptural to schedule dialogue with someone who has wronged us (Matthew 18:15). God expects us to pursue reconciliation. Dialogue is therefore your invitation to the person who has disappointed you into reconciliation. Resist becoming resentful and embittered. Rather choose dialogue as it is an exit for potential bitterness.
Give peace an opportunity. Refuse to shy away from confronting in love. The purpose of loving confrontation is cooperation. The bible says "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God" (Matthew 5:9). Choose dialogue instead of discord, and you will fulfil the law of love, which is the summation of the entire laws of God (Galatians 5:14). Halleluiah!
Remain blessed

CCEP Working Papers from Centre for Climate & Energy Policy, Crawford School of Public Policy, The Australian National University
This paper focuses on the domestic energy policies of industrialised states and, in particular, those states which have been at the forefront in applying neo-liberal policies to the reform and restructuring of their energy supply industries. It examines the interactions between the neo-liberal and climate change mitigation agendas, as they have been applied to energy policy, and the consequences these interactions are having for energy security, which is a core objective of energy policy for all states. A case study approach is taken using the United Kingdom and Australia as examples. The overall conclusion is that if states set themselves ambitious emissions reduction goals they will need to make radical changes to their energy systems, which, in the absence of decisive policy action, are likely to be deleterious to domestic energy security. By contrast, modest reduction goals will not require far-reaching energy system changes and will pose little threat to energy security, but will also do little to mitigate climate change.

Welcome to this month's blog. As you are reading this, no doubt you have noticed that our website has been re-launched and it is more modern and streamlined. As part of the redesign process we have worked with a range of stakeholders from local health and third sector organisations whose feedback and comments have helped shape the new site. Thank you to everyone who has been involved and if you have any feedback please get in touch with the HMR CCG Communications team on firstname.lastname@example.com.
While the outcome of Brexit negotiations is still yet to be decided, the NHS will keep you informed if there are any changes that you need to be aware of. It's very important you don't order more medicines than normal. If you do, then it may mean that other people won't be able to get their medicines. If you are concerned, please speak to your doctor or pharmacist. More can be found at the links here getting your medicines if there's a no-deal EU Exit and NHS England's answers to common questions about getting your medicines after EU Exit.
If you or someone you know is considering a career in health or thinking about a career change, the Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale Primary Care Academy is showcasing primary care job roles at two upcoming careers events. The academy is hosting its own careers fair on Wednesday 27 March at Middleton Arena, 9.30am-6pm. The team will be promoting primary care careers and offer advice on the pathways into the sector, plus the training and development opportunities on offer. The academy is also representing the local area by exhibiting at the 'Building a career in primary care' event on Wednesday 3 April at Manchester Central Convention Complex, 2-7pm, organised by Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership.
Finally I'd like to say a huge thank you to pupils and staff at Lowerplace Primary School, Rochdale who welcomed our Governing Body for its informal meeting last month. As part of this, pupils aged 10 and 11 years from Year 6 got the opportunity to quiz me and fellow board members on local health issues which they are interested in.
Among the things that pupils wanted answers to were what is the most common illness that doctors see daily; how is the Governing Body going to help people to be fit & healthy; how is the Governing Body helping people to use the right health services; and if the NHS had unlimited funding, what services would the Governing Body introduce or improve?
Their questions were well thought out and mature – and would put a journalist to shame! It's inspiring to know that our future generation is just as passionate about health as we are.
The lively question and answer session was the culmination of a week of work that HMR CCG Engagement Lead, Phil Burton had done with Year 6 pupils. To help them prepare their questions Phil hosted three morning sessions in which pupils explored what the NHS is; how HMR CCG plans local health services; careers in the NHS; and health issues in the Rochdale borough.
Our next Governing Body meeting is on Friday 15 March, when we'll return to our usual venue, Number One Riverside, Rochdale. For full details, the meeting agenda and papers, please visit our website. Members of the public are invited and encouraged to attend our Governing Body meetings and public questions are an important part of them. I'd urge anyone with a question to submit it and we can respond. If you can't make it to the meeting, follow us on Twitter @NHSHMR for live tweets giving an overview of items being discussed and decisions made.
Thanks for reading.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'blessings' tag.
"Well done, my good servant, his master replied, because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of 10 cities." Luke 19:17
"Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances for this is God's will for you in Christ, Jesus" 1 Thessalonians 4:16
I start with a disclaimer in a way about the title. The "Perhaps as God Sees them?" is not to infer that I believe that I have the wisdom, insight or righteousness to speak to how God sees things. It is meant more as an aspect of potential difference between earthly and heavenly vision.
Blessings! We may often times proclaim that we are blessed, but what do we mean by that? We ask for and indeed are encouraged to ask for blessings. Yet what constitutes a blessing and upon receipt of one or many; what is an appropriate reaction? Do blessings shift based upon the eye of the beholder?
The third entry on the site Dictionary.com defines blessing as "invoking of God's favor upon a person". In the bible blessings could come in the form of speaking words over a person as well as actual actions like healings, etc. Thus as we look at our lives, do we see God's favor being invoked on our behalf? Is the overall action of Grace in our lives the constant blessing versus individual acts?
There are two aspects that I want to look at when we think about the topic of blessing; first is there concept of size and how much does that matter. Second is the knowledge and anticipation of blessing and how that effects its receipt.
First let's explore size and our measurement of size. For example, a healing from cancer, the full recovery from a stroke, the successful transplant of a major organ, would definitely seem to fit into the category of blessings to me. God's favor is being invoked by these medical triumphs. But is good health a blessing? Is going through this day, getting a clean bill of health on the annual physical, not coming down with the sickness that's going around; are all those mainly because of the way I diet, my exercise regimen, getting enough rest etc.? Does it take more energy or more favor from God to cure me then it does to keep my healthy in the first place? Let's say you and I are praying to become debt free. If Publisher's Clearinghouse came to our door with an enormous check that would allow us in one fell swoop to pay off all our debt, we might declare that an amazing blessing. Yet what if we get some small work done and the person decides not to charge us to either keep us from going further into debt or utilizing some of what we would have used on that job to pay off some debt. Is that a blessing? Is it as big a blessing as the Publisher's Clearinghouse? A personal example of mine is that I'm a published author who prays that his writing might have a relatively measurable level of success (perhaps landing on a bestseller list). Now if some famous person happened to see, read and recommend my book causing it to end up on the New York Times best seller list, I would call that a blessing. I would feel the favor of the Lord in that. But what about the two people who purchased books recently? Is that a blessing? Do I discount a purchase here or there because I can't pay the bills with that level of purchases? Is there no blessing in those small purchases, really?
Jesus teaches a parable where, depending on the translation a master or powerful king gives a small token of his monetary wealth to some servants; telling them to put the money to work while he is away on a trip. Two out of the three servants do what they can with the money, they invest it which does have some risk associated with it and they gain some money for the king. Yet one servant is not willing to take any risk with what is given to him, to afraid to utilize it at all, he buries it so that he knows at least he can't lose the money. The king has an interesting reaction to the servant's efforts. The two servants who took what was given to them and put it to work, although there might be some risk, were rewarded. The one servant who buried what was given to him and didn't allow it to provide any benefit was stripped of his money and left out in the cold. If the king had started out saying, if you do good I'm going to put you in charge of cities, then all three servants might have worked hard seeing a large reward. However, the gain of the two servants was not great in comparison to the master's overall wealth, but because they were faithful in the small amounts that they had, the master figured they would be faithful enough to entrust with a much more significant amount. In the same way, are we only looking for the "big" blessings? Can we see God's favor in the short rain shower when its been dry for weeks or does it have to be an all day soaker? Can we find appreciation when we're asking for a new car but the old car passes inspection without costing us anything? We desperately want the promotion to manager but we're given a new assignment that, at this points, gives us some more money and responsibility; is their God's favor in that? If we're not appreciative of or can not see the favor of God unless there is a monumental happening in our life skipping over the day to day blessings that are showered down upon us; can we really be trusted to be faithfully, appropriately, appreciative at those big times?
So now that we've talked a little about size of blessing, what about the timing of the blessing(s)? I know for myself, there have been times when I've thought or said to myself: "Man if I only knew!" In this case what I mean is perhaps I was in a place of consternation or uncertain expectation about some future situation. Once the situation unfolds or the outcome happens and I clearly see the blessing that God poured out, I think how easier my life would have been if I knew that particular blessing was coming. Yet the reality is would it really have been easier if I knew? One example we can use is the Israelites as they left Egypt. God had promised they were heading for the promised land; a land dripping with milk and honey. God was physically with them at times, in a pillar of smoke during the day, and pillar of fire at night. However that did not keep them from being fearful and complaining about starving or dying of thirst. So if God were to lay everything out in front of me, in His plan about the future blessings to come; would that make my today better? Would I be so impatient for that future date that I would become frustrated and downtrodden at what was happening today? Would I be so focused on the future blessings that I would totally miss the blessing and love that God poured out on me each day leading up to the blessings? Would I grumble at God, at His length of time to fulfill His plan or would I be praising each day? I'm humble enough to realize my failings and my potential ungratefulness.
Bottom line is that God does bless. I don't remember an aspect in scripture concerning the measurement of blessings or the importance of them based on size. Not only is God's plan perfect, His blessings are more than sufficient for us. Also how much He communicates about His plans and future blessings is perfect as well. Let us strive to see and receive in full appreciation and praise the favor of God that is poured out on us by His Graceful Blessings we constantly receive.
Our Most Gracious Heavenly Father; we are so thankful Lord for Your constant and merciful grace that manifests itself in countless blessings that we receive. Forgive us when we are quick to overlook Your blessings because they don't seem impactful enough or have not come when we think that they should. Help us to pray for Your Spirit that will allow us to be faithfully patient, confident in Your Plan, including its timing. That in our acknowledgement and praise we would be living lives that bring glory to Your Most Holy Name. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
"But the father said to his servants, "Bring out the best robe and put it on him and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. And bring out the fatted calf here and kill it….." Luke 15:22,23
There are a lot of questions out there concerning enough these days. Will you have enough for retirement? Will you have enough to send your child to college? Do you have enough to go on that vacation? Do we have enough __________ (fill in the blank with water, oil, food etc). The overarching theme is that there is always a limit. There is always a point to which something is used up. There is only so much to go around and when that so much is reached; it is gone. There can be an earthly wisdom to that type of thinking when it comes to wisely using resources. Yet when that type of thinking spills over to our thoughts about Our Heavenly Father then we start to put foolish limits on Him.
Man, could Jesus tell a story or what? In one story of the Prodigal Son, Jesus packs so much amazing wisdom about ourselves and Our Heavenly Father. Much is rightly said and preached about, seeking after earthly things, forgiveness, loyalty, repentance and such. There's another dynamic truth out there that I think opens a window on the Loving, Giving, Merciful Nature of Our Heavenly Father that should fill us with great joy.
And it has to do with limits and how the world deals with limits versus how Our Heavenly Father deals with limits. First limit, the inheritance. The younger son, wanted what was going to be his. Note something here; while he was with the father, that limit potentially would increase exponentially. Yet because the younger son wanted it to leave the father, there had to be a totaling and as such the limit was finite and probably a lessor amount. Was that enough? No, we see that the son uses it all up in a rather short period of time in prodigal, that is wasteful, extravagant living.
The next set of limits are not just financial, they are also existential limits; or how much can I take, limits. With his money used up the son has to be able to eat. It just so happens that a famine comes so no one is being generous with charity for him. He is hungry, maybe even starving. We don't know if it is a limit of pride in not returning home or a limit of money not being able to get passage home, but the son takes a job feeding swine, pigs. In might be good to remember at this point how pigs were looked upon as unclean, horrible animals by the Israelites. It would seem that it was more a limit of pride because the job still does not pay enough for the son to sustain himself because he wants to eat what he is giving to the pigs. In the story, Jesus says the son came to his senses and decided to go home.
Here's where the limits get real interesting to me. The son has the thoughts of the world; both then and now. For here is the son's calculation: I took my money, I spent my money, there is rightly no more money for me to have as a son, I must live within the meager limit of a servant, probably the lowliest of servants. We, in an earthly sense would say: "that's right, you got it, you made your bed so now you've got to sleep in it (which in this case is probably made of straw outside). His father (and what Jesus is trying to get across that Our Heavenly Father) sees something completely different.
For you see the son did not return prideful, arrogant, making excuses for what happened, blaming others for his misfortune, saying he was entitled to more. No, he came to himself; that is the son took an objective, truthful look at where he was, what he had done to get there and knew it was no one else's fault than his own. He was not only sorrowful but he was repentant. He came home broken. And where the human approach, a human father, would feel justified in giving a stern lecture and treating him with disdain. In fact the world would say if you didn't do that, you would be coddling the son too much, spoiling them. You would be a poor parent.
What does the Father say? Blessed are the poor in spirit, for yours is the kingdom of God. That is what the father in the story sees. He sees a son who is broken, a son who has learned a lesson, a son who the world has tried to kill but has returned so that he may live again. And so that father gives, gives without limit, best robes, gold rings, fine sandals, best meal. The son whom I have always loved, no matter where he was, has returned to me.
Dear precious brothers and sisters, this story should fill us all with loving joy knowing how precious we are to Our Heavenly Father. We don't like to admit it but we are going to fail, we are going to run away at times, we will probably be prodigal at some point. Satan would have us believe our Heavenly Father doesn't want us back. Satan would have us believe we've used up all our love, all our blessings.
Our Heavenly Father does not want us to leave in the first place. But be assured of this, when we come to ourselves and see our brokenness. When we truly repent to our Heavenly Father, He stands ready to forgive and shower upon us more than enough blessings. There is no limit. How can I be so sure? Jesus Christ. Our Heavenly Father willingly sacrificed His Only Begotten Son, that we might live in a loving eternal relationship with Him.
Dear brothers and sisters; please don't put a limit on what you think Our Heavenly Father is capable of. Don't be resentful, as the other brother was, when God shows His extravagant mercy to a lost soul who returns. If you are in a place of separation, return to Him knowing He desperately wants to show you that He will give you more than enough out of His Love.
Our Most Gracious Heavenly Father, You are Creator God to which there can be no limits. We confess that we stray from you in thought, word and/or deed at times to live after worldly ways. We are truly sorrowful for those times. Yet Heavenly Father in Your Mercy, we testify that You want us back and will come running with open arms when we return to You. Thank You Heavenly Father for You Loving Mercy and Kindness to us that knows no bounds, even to the death of Your Son Jesus Christ for our sins. We praise You Dear Father now and forever more. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen
"Then Saul was very angry…They have ascribed to David, ten thousands and to me they have ascribed only thousands." "So Saul eyed David from that day forward." 1 Samuel 18:8
"Then a dispute arose among them as to which of them would be the greatest." Luke 9;46
There is something so human about this. In the bible it goes back to Cain and Able. In human families, we see it when we look toward our siblings; which one is the favorite. From the other perspective, as a parent, I can remember trying to be so purposeful with my two children to try and not show favoritism one over another (for indeed there is not a favorite).
Bottom line, Saul was blessed. He was the king. The Nation of Israel had a long time foe; the Philistines. The enemy had come up against the Israelites and challenged them; thus challenging Saul's kingship. And the Philistines were smote. After David slew Goliath, the Israelite Army rose up and slaughtered the Philistines. It is an amazing triumph; a true blessing from God. King Saul is so impressed by David that he takes David into his home. David and Saul's son Jonathon become like loving brothers to each other. Enter the world. Enter the Devil.
The Israelite Nation is overjoyed by the achievements of their army. They come out to dance and cheer at the accomplishments. They hail loudly the triumphs of their heroes. David has killed tens of thousands and Saul thousands. Was not Saul the king? Wasn't it under his leadership that all these deaths had transpired? That's not what Saul heard. Through a hardened heart, through listening to the lies of this world, Saul heard: "David is better than you! We like David more! David wants to take your throne from you!" None of what Saul heard was true, was from God. Saul chose to believe his own interpretation and hates David from that day forward, trying to kill or have him killed. Saul eventually is destroyed.
The disciples are in the presence of God Almighty here on earth; Emanuel. What have they experienced? They have seen Jesus miraculously heal without claiming glory for Himself. They have seen Him feed thousands without any demand for payment whatsoever. They have heard him say; that in His service to His Father, He must die. Jesus has preached humility and the need to love all, even your enemies. Enter the world.
For the disciples are a group. And in the world all groups should have a hierarchy, a pecking order if you will. There is a head person. None of the disciples would dispute that Jesus is the head. But it doesn't stop there. In human groups there is a second in command, a vice leader and then a next lower and next lower. The disciples are arguing about that pecking order; who is the greatest. In the company of The Creator; the Greatest who will ever walk this earth, they lose sight of the blessing of Him and can only look to each other and argue about which is the greater. They are listening to the world. Jesus knows what they are arguing about. He also knows that He can not let it go without being addressed. He takes a little child and tells them they must become humble, like the child.
So what for us today? We pray. We pray for ourselves and we pray for others. Our prayers are answered. We are blessed by God Almighty within His perfect plan for each of us. Enter the world. Enter the devil. For we see a brother or sister of faith have something great happen for them; an unexpected increase, a miraculous healing, being exalted for work done and the world says, shouldn't that be you? How come your brother or sister gets this or that and you haven't? Well you got this but it's not as good as he or she got. That is what the world, that is what the devil whispers to you and I as we smile at them.
If we're not careful, we listen. We say: "Hey that's right! What about us? What about me? I deserve that too!" The world, the devil doesn't stop there. He says "That's right, but God doesn't love you like He loves them. He's not fair. You're not good enough." And sadly, if we listen long enough, God's blessings we will turn into a curse for us.
But dear brothers and sisters, all is not lost. We are not lost or left alone to battle against the words and deeds of our enemy. The bible in the book of James tells us that if we resist the devil that he will flee from us. That in submitting and humbling ourselves (like a child) to God, we will receive His strength which will cause the devil to run away. It is through the Spirit of God poured out on our heart that we can be truly, completely filled with joy over the blessings given to others understanding the God has particular blessings for us as well. Jesus tells us that Our Father's house has many rooms and that there are rooms prepared for us. So it is not just one room for all to cram into. We are different. Our needs are different. Our blessings will be different. But here is the final truth; His Love is the same for us. Our Father's Love is equal for us. Jesus Christ came to be our salvation, to die, for each of us. May it be that we revel equally in our blessings and the blessings of others. Let us resist any temptation to compare or attempt to measure God's love for one versus another. Let us find ourselves being His branches. Living off the vine of His love for us.
Our Most Gracious and Heavenly Father, the world would have us believe that all can not be equally loved. The enemy tells us that You unfairly play favorites. We humble ourselves before you and confess there are times that we are tempted to listen to the enemy. We pray for Your Strength to be poured out upon us that we would resist the devil and his message of divisiveness. In the example of Your Son Jesus death for all of us, let us understand that You have love and a plan perfect for each of us. Give us true joy in the blessings that You pour out to all of us that we may come together in praise for Your Most Holy Name. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen
"So the children of the Lord did evil in the sight of the Lord" Judges 3:7
"Therefore the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel….." Judges 3:8
"When the children of Israel cried out to the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer…" Judges 3:9
"So the land had rest for forty years" Judges 3:11
"And again the children did evil in the sight of the Lord." Judges 3:12
Human nature. It is a phrase oft used to describe a multitude of things. For some, our human nature is such that we are basically loving, generous, giving people who are led astray in some way or another by our environment. When we do evil, we are somehow acting against our basic nature. For others, human nature describes certain aspects of how we behave but attach no judgement to that behaviour. It is human nature to be competitive or it is human nature to have the best. It is basically human nature that has us looking out for number one (ourselves) first.
So we come to the book of Judges and the people of Israel who, when following the Lord under the human leadership of Joshua, completely conquered the promised land. The people who in conquering the land, time after time, they destroyed armies many times their size and strength. After conquering the promised land, the bible tells us that generation served the Lord and they were at peace and prospered. Then Joshua dies along with the generation that was with him, who directly witnessed the power as well as the mercy of the Lord. Then something changed. Their environment didn't change. it wasn't as if, as they were correctly serving the Lord, a drastic drought or great enemy came against them. No, first they turned from the Lord and started doing evil in the sight of the Lord. What was the evil that they were doing? They turned from worshiping the Lord and started worshiping the local gods: Baal and Asherahs.
And here's where human nature kicks in. For we might understand that those who had not had the opportunity to first hand witness the power and the mercy of the Lord might not grasp the all encompassing need to worship Him. Yes their parents taught them of the Lord but they lacked the experience. What they knew was peace and prosperity but not the way in which it was derived. So they strayed. Okay, I can understand that. However, once they get to witness it themselves. Once they experience first hand the anger of the Lord, then cry out to Him and are delivered and then are brought into His rest. Surely they will not stray again. Well, I'm starting the fifth chapter of Judges and already this pattern has repeated itself three times. And, having read the book before, I know that it will continue. And should we think that this is just an aberration of this particular time. Centuries later, after David and Solomon have ruled, there comes a time that is captured in the books of Kings and Chronicles, where this same pattern is repeated over and over again. There would seem to be some aspect of our nature as humans that brings about this repeated behavior.
Fast forward to today. As we read this we might be tempted to judge these people harshly. To call out to them: "You Fools!"; believing that we would never behave in such a way. Wise was Jesus to give us this warning: "Judge not lest we be judged". For I, at least in those times when I am honest, can see this behavior in myself. I am in need. I declare that Jesus Christ is my savior and in faith I call out to him. I am blessed greatly in the response. And sometimes (sadly not all the time) I give thanks for what God Almighty had done for me. I feel a sense of peace and prosperity. Then it happens. The gods of this world intrude. With my new prosperity, I deserve to live the good material life. Bring on the new!……gadgets, vehicles, homes, lavish dinners out. I deserve and am wise to use only my judgement in wielding my new power!……do as I say (don't look to closely at what I am doing), I have no need for your opinion, shut up. Look at me! Want to be me! I should have all that my eye sees and my mind can conjure. Gradually, insidiously, I turn away from the One True God and serve the many earthly gods: money, power, prestige, selfishness. Invariably, when I turn from God, I plummet. My sense of peace and well being flee from me. My decisions are wrong and bring about hurt and pain. I find myself lost. So I cry out to Jesus and He hears me and rescues me. And I am once again blessed. And the behavior, sometimes to a greater or lessor degree, will repeat itself over and over again.
And here is the amazing triumph over the tragedy; the God Nature versus Human Nature. Human nature has a saying: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Human nature says, once you have done something against me the first time, I should stop trusting, respecting or believing in you. Human nature says you deserve what you get. But not God Nature. First our Heavenly Father isn't fooled. He knows our nature is to stray. He knows that we are going to sin. How many times should I forgive a person; Jesus disciples ask: seven times? No, Jesus responds; seven times seventy times. Even then, I believe Jesus nor God is putting a true number of times on forgiveness. Jesus Christ didn't die just to deliver us from our first 10 or even 100 sins.
So what is to be our response? Just keep sinning? Can we not see that the turning away from God is not hurting God but is tragically and repeatedly destroying ourselves. But if that is our human nature then what can we do? Jesus Christ tells us. We must be born again. We must be born again into the spiritual realm of God Nature. Our human nature must die only to be resurrected into His Nature. How can we accomplish this? We as humans can't. But remember that all encompassing promise made by Jesus Christ. With God, all things are possible. May it be that we strive for a new trend. The trend that comes from being with and in God's Spirit through Jesus Christ. And when our human nature tries to cause us to fall; know that we have a Savior who is there to catch us.
Our most Gracious and Heavenly Father, we confess that we at times believe we can live without You. We confess that we bow down either in desire or fear to the gods of this world and our own making. Forgive us Dear Father when we are forgetful of Your blessings and take credit for them ourselves. Strengthen us Merciful Father, to be victorious in our battle against our own human nature. Wonderful Father, pour out Your Spirit upon us, testifying to us and giving us the will to subvert our will to Your Devine Will. That our lives might be a lasting testimony to the world of Your Glorious Nature and a Blessing to Your Most Holy Name. In Jesus Christ we pray. Amen

I woke up around 5:00 this morning to soothe a troubled boy . . . and couldn't get back to sleep. Instead, I came down and typed up two new letters since I missed a couple of days. The first one is from 11/19/1944 (8 pages) and then nearly a week later from 11/24/1944 (7 pages). It's amazing to me as I type these letters how much of my Grandfather's voice I hear as I recognize his words and phrases. I'm trying to catch up so that Grandma & Grandpa's letters are from about the same time frame, so we're getting a lot of Grandpa's letters here.
Forthcoming will be long letters from Grandpa from 11/25/1944, 11/30/1944 (Thanksgiving Day that year) and 12/5/1944, and then a series of V-mail letters (one-pagers) as Grandpa's gone out into the field. After that, it looks like I need to finish sorting the binder, but I've seen February, June and July of 1945 as I flip through. [I just finished sorting, and I found a letter from 11/29/1942, a couple of years earlier – I'll type that one next, and just throw everybody off.]
Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

Pneumonia in the critically ill hospitalized patient
Case Presentation
Dr. Douglas Schultz: A 59-vear-old white man with a three-month history of systemic lupus erythematosus and a history of insulin- dependent diabetes mellitus was admitted to the hospital with a three-day history of fever to 38.8°C and dysuria. Evaluation revealed a urinary tract infection with E coli and benign prostatic hypertrophy. One month later, the patient underwent transurethral resection of the prostate. On the fourth postoperative day, he developed fever to 39.4°C, shortness of breath, weakness, confusion, and reported a slightly productive cough. His medications at the time included prednisone, 10 mg daily, and NPH insulin, 20 units subcutaneouslv daily.
On initial examination, the patient was found to be mildly short of breath with a respiratory rate of 32, blood pressure of 120/76 mm Hg, and a temperature of 39.3°C rectally. His only remarkable physical findings were crackles in the posterior aspect of the right lung in the upper two-thirds of the chest. The remainder of his lung examination was unremarkable and no new extrapulmonary findings were noted. Viagra Soft Tabs
FIGURE 1. Chest radiograph demonstrating right-sided pneumonia developing postoperatively.
Laboratory evaluation showed a white blood cell count of 8,600 with 85 percent polys and 10 percent bands. Blood glucose was 347 mg/dl and arterial blood gases, while breathing room air, showed a pll of 7.4, Pcx)2 38 mm Hg, and Po2 of 56 mm Hg. A chest radiograph (Fig 1) showed a right upper lobe infiltrate. Sputum was evaluated by Gram stain and showed copious white blood cells with Gram-negative rods. Sputum and blood cultures were obtained. The remainder of the laboratory data was unremarkable.
The patient was treated with a presumptive diagnosis of nosocomial Gram-negative pneumonia and therapy included intravenous hydration, oxygen via a 40 percent Venti-mask, and intravenous ceftazidime. In addition, the patient received appropriate increases in steroid therapy for stress, and insulin coverage for hyperglycemia. Two days later, the patient was found to be more short of breath and he was transferred to Winthrop-University Hospital's intensive care unit for further care. On arrival, the patient had a blood pressure of 70 palpable. Arterial blood gases, with the patient breathing via 40 percent Venti-mask, showed a pH of 7.36, Pco2 = 22 mm Hg, and Po2 = 42 mm Hg. At that time, his blood cultures from the other hospital were reported to show two strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A repeat chest radiograph (Fig 2) showed difluse infiltration of the right lung and faint infiltration at the left base.
The patient was then endotracheally intubated and placed on mechanical ventilation. Antibiotic therapy was directed towards Pseudomonas aeruginosa with amikacin added to ceftazidime. Bronchoscopy was performed with a protected specimen brush and the brush was cut into 1 ml of tryptic soy broth and cultured quantitatively, revealing greater than 104 Pseudomonas aeruginosa per ml in pure culture.

FIGURE 2. Progression of pneumonia to a radiographic pattern consistent with ARDS.
The patient was treated with mechanical ventilation for a period of three weeks. His therapy also included supplemental oxygen, titrated to maintain oxygenation, and he had gradual improvement in his oxygenation status and control of his respiratory infection. After three weeks of mechanical ventilation, the patient was successfully extubated. His course had been complicated by diarrhea, felt to be related to antibiotic therapy and tube feedings, intermittent supraventricular tachycardia, tracheostomy for airway care, and intermittent return of fresh blood from his nasogastric tube, in spite of prophylaxis of intestinal bleeding with cimetidine. At the time of discharge from the intensive care unit, the patient was felt to have recovered from his pneumonia and all of his antibiotics were discontinued. Sputum cultures continued to reveal Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but no therapy was prescribed.

Additionally, The Hollywood Reporter's sources say that Kurtzman and Akiva Goldsman, who worked on Discovery during Season 1, are working on a Patrick Stewart project. Stewart of course played Captain Picard on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Whether or not this is the second limited series mentioned by Variety is unclear. According to THR, "CBS TV Studios declined to confirm the Stewart project as sources say a deal is far from completed and may not happen despite the fact that the actor recently teased his potential return to the franchise."
CBS Television Studios has yet to confirm any specific projects.This comes hot off the news that Kurtzman has taken over as showrunner for the second season of Star Trek: Discovery after the departure of executive producers Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts. The change was reportedly due to "leadership and operational issues" surrounding the rocky production of the first season, and the early production of the second. Kurtzman has already directed the season 2 premiere episode, which is set to debut in 2019 and consist of 13 episodes.
Kurtzman has a longstanding history with the Star Trek franchise, co-writing the 2009 Star Trek reboot and Star Trek: Into Darkness, as well as serving as producer for Into Darkness and Star Trek Beyond. Kurtzman and Secret Hideout also currently produce the CBS shows Hawaii Five-O, Salvation and Instinct.To catch up on the impending second season of Star Trek: Discovery, have a look at our first season scorecard as well as our season finale review. In other big Star Trek news, Paramount is developing two new Star Trek movies, so fans of the series are sure to have their hands full in the near future.

Oh I know and I hear you. What I like about that contest is that they are up front about how they judge. I know someone who judges for Austin and they are encouraged to read up to page 20 or 30. So, yes writers should focus on the whole script - because if contest judges/ readers gets past the first 15 and keep going then it better be great all the way up to page 120 right?

Food & Trees for Africa joined forces with SPARK Schools Soweto this month to kick off an ambitious greening initiative in Protea Glen. On 14 June, a wonderful morning was spent planting thirty indigenous shade trees. Despite a chilly morning, the participants had an abundance of energy. The highlight of the day was when Lebea Masete, School Operations Manager, encouraged the young learners to join her in the following pledge: "We promise to water these trees. We promise to love these trees." An additional 750 fruit trees and 250 indigenous shade trees will be planted at the homes of Protea Glen community member.
The significant positive impacts of the Protea Glen greening project are already being felt in the community. The SPARK Soweto campus opened at the end of 2018 and was entirely without trees. The thirty indigenous shade trees planted here have already transformed the aesthetic of the school and will provide beauty, shade, and an enhanced sense of school pride for decades to come.
A further ten indigenous shade trees were also donated to the orphanage across the road from SPARK Soweto — thus extending the reach of the impact from the outset.
To add to this great initiative, four unemployed Protea Glen locals were trained as Community Foresters through a two-day intensive workshop at the Food & Trees for Africa offices. The passion and enthusiasm of the group for developing their communities through greening was palpable and much appreciated by the Food & Trees for Africa training staff. The knowledge and skills of these individuals were greatly enhanced as they learnt the best ways to plant, care for, and maintain both indigenous shade and fruit trees, as well as all the specifics around what it takes to be a Community Forester. Food & Trees for Africa is confident that Protea Glen now has a team of highly passionate and committed individuals who are eager to see their communities turn into lush green suburbs.

Love her or hate her, Lady Gaga's nasal growl, stompy dancing and flair for flamboyant visuals have earned her both accolades and eye rolls the world over. Lady Gaga: #ARTBIRTH garners a similarly mixed response.
#ARTBIRTH banks on star and co-writer Athena Reich's impressive impersonation of the pop icon, which fluctuates between caricature and tribute. In this pseudo-concert, she imagines a pregnant Gaga who decides to stage the ultimate piece of performance art: the onstage birth of a baby co-created through crowd-sourced sperm.
It's an aptly camp way to lampoon a pop star who will seemingly do anything to hold our attention. In Reich and co-writer Jack Trinco's script, directed by Sara Schwartz Geller, Gaga milks every opportunity to turn her delivery into a mercilessly staged marketing stunt where no birthing by-product is wasted.
It's also a vessel to tell Reich's own story as a single lesbian who decided to conceive on her own. Of course, unlike in #ARTBIRTH, pregnancy doesn't always go according to plan. Reich finally achieved her own pregnancy through a long process of IVF, and wrote the show to help deal with the personal struggles she experienced along the way.
So while it's a fantasy send up of Gaga herself, it's also a surrealist exploration of Reich's own experience of motherhood, womanhood and the female body. And a critique of modern celebrity. And entertainment capitalism. With backup dancers, vaginal art and a giant inflatable pegasus.
But though heavy with theme and spectacle, #ARTBIRTH is awfully light on story. Beyond the milestones you'd expect from a pregnancy narrative, there's little trajectory, and the show repeatedly returns to the same set of ideas. Most segments between songs go on too long, and – while they're often entertaining – rarely shed any light on what the whole thing's about.
Fortunately, like Gaga, Reich outshines her material. Every time the show's running on empty, she injects it with enough glittery gasoline to eke out another mile. Reich is a showboat with a great set of pipes that bear an uncanny resemblance to Gaga's own, and she's got more than a few aces up her sleeve. Her version of The Edge Of Glory – rechristened here as The Edge Of Labour – has her climbing over every inch of an upright piano while playing it (frequently upside-down). It's hilarious, impressive and savvy in a way that is rarely seen elsewhere in the show.
The thing is, Reich knows it's a bit of a mess. Towards the end, she shouts incredulously: "What the fuck did I create?" It's a good question that's still lacking an answer.
If #ARTBIRTH could match the promise of its star, it'd be an arrival to truly celebrate.

Descriptive multi-resource and multi-project cost models for subcontractors
Kim, Dae Young, 1977-
MetadataShow full item record
Subcontractors have finite resources that should be allocated simultaneously across many projects in a dynamic manner. Significant scheduling problems are posed by concurrent multi-projects with limited resources. Unfortunately, with a lack of appropriate models, subcontractors mostly make decisions based on their previous experiences to allocate their resources to multiple projects. Moreover, subcontractors frequently reallocate their resources in response to schedule changes and site conditions. In response to schedule changes or project demand, these factors should be taken into account before reallocating resources: site conditions, completion dates, overtime usage, productivity, and complementarity. This research has developed a descriptive cost model for a subcontractor with multi-resources and multi-projects. The model was designed for a subcontractor to use as a decision-making tool for resources allocation and scheduling. The model identified several factors affecting productivity. Moreover, when the model was tested using hypothetical data, it produced some effective combinations of resource allocation with associated total costs. The objective of this thesis is to identify the effect of productivity changes on the total cost resulting from shifting crews across projects using a descriptive model. Furthermore, a subcontractor minimizes total costs by balancing overtime costs, tardiness penalties, and incentive bonus, while satisfying available processing time constraints.

The taps are open in the SEC.
After much debate, the Southeastern Conference has finally relented to the growing pressure to start selling alcoholic beverages in general seating areas on game day and have changed their longstanding rule prohibiting such sales. The league announced the change at their annual spring meeting in Destin, Fla. on Friday and will now allow each school "the autonomy to determine the permissibility of selling alcoholic beverages in its athletics venues, subject to certain Conference-wide alcohol management expectations."
"Our policy governing alcohol sales has been a source of considerable discussion and respectful debate among our member universities in recent years," said SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey in a release. "As a Conference, we have been observant of trends in the sale and consumption of alcohol at collegiate sporting events and have drawn upon the experiences and insights of our member schools which have responsibly established limited alcohol sales within controlled spaces and premium seating areas. We remain the only conference to set forth league-wide standards for the responsible management of the sale of alcoholic beverages."
There are a few ground rules that were adopted so this isn't quite the free-for-all some fans undoubtedly wanted. Perhaps the biggest change is that only beer and wine will be allowed in general seating areas (no liquor/mixed drinks, which still should be limited to club areas) and only at set locations in the stadium. ID checks will be taken for every sale as well and there will be a specific limit of drinks in terms of what a person can buy. There also won't be any beer bottles lying around as everything must be dispensed into cups and staff training will be increased across the board.
While the changes do apply to all sports in the SEC, sales in the public areas of stadiums will be cut off during football games at the end of the 3rd quarter. There are also some additional limits on advertising as well.
"We are proud of the great game-day atmospheres the SEC and our member schools have cultivated throughout our history, and no other conference rivals the SEC in terms of our ability to offer an intense yet family-friendly atmosphere for all of our fans," added South Carolina President Harris Pastides. "This policy is intended to enhance the game-day experience at SEC athletics events by providing our schools the autonomy to make appropriate decisions for their respective campuses while also establishing expectations for responsible management of the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages."
Needless to say, this puts the SEC on much more level ground with their peers around college athletics. Half of the Big Ten will be selling adult beverages during the 2019 season alone and it seems like school after school around the country are joining the growing list with each passing month. Additional revenues are no doubt one driving force but fan enjoyment and increased attendance during games is also another. It's not like SEC fans didn't enjoy a beer or two (or nine) during tailgates but at least now things are a little more controlled once kickoff actually rolls around.
There are some who thought they'd never see the day down South but beer and wine is coming to an SEC game near you in 2019. It just means more in the conference after all and that includes alcohol content as well.

Neil Glentworth, Managing Director and Founder of information management specialists GWI, has contended with a strong list of competitors to take out the 2012 Queensland Pearcey Foundation Award for his contribution to the Information and Technology industry.
Mr GWI said he was humbled after receiving the award and hoped he could continue to provide new ways to solve old problems for his clients and peers.
"This award recognises the strength of information management as a new field of expertise across the professional service spectrum," Mr GWI said.
"We know an estimated two-thirds of an average company's value is stored in knowledge capital, and since launching GWI in 2006 we have forged a strong reputation for recognising the value of information as a resource that binds and moves a business forward."
GWI was ranked in BRW's 2012 Fast Starters top 100 and in the top 15 fastest-growing businesses in the 2012 Start-Up Smart Awards, ranking second in Queensland.
In receiving the award, Mr GWI's work outside his role at his South Brisbane based information management firm was recognised including his involvement spearheading several projects on behalf of the Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) and contribution to the not-for-profit sector.
Mr GWI said his work with the AIIA and State Government was especially poignant at a time when Queensland was on the precipice of a transformation change to the economy.
"Beginning in 2009, I started working with the State Government to develop a program to educate all parts of industry to the benefits of the digital economy," he said.
"Alongside the AIIA, we have continued our engagement with all parts of the Queensland economy, from tourism, to mining, construction and agriculture – to demonstrate the tangible benefits of doing business through digital means."
The Pearcey Foundation held their annual State Awards event last night in Brisbane with Minister for Science, Information Technology, Innovation and the Art, Ros Bates presenting the award.
GWI is an information management specialist firm, who help organisations identify better ways to maximise efficiencies, minimise risk and ultimately grow their business value. By showing businesses how to unlock information from within, GWI gives them the tools and advice to make better decisions for the long-term.

Mushroom Wars 2
The Shrooms are back.
RTS games on consoles traditionally don't work so well, which is why when comes along that is actually quite good, it tends to stick in the head. The original Mushroom Wars game on PS3, all the way back in 2009, was one of those games. Sure, it was a simple take on the RTS formula, but it turned out to be really good fun, if a little short lived. Zillion Whales have now released a sequel on Steam. Mushroom Wars 2 may not yet be on the consoles, but the Steam version of the game brings that same ease of play that will work incredibly well when it does make it to PS4 or Xbox One, along with some new additions to add more layers to the enjoyable gameplay.
Set in a massive mushroom kingdom (not that one), four tribes of mushrooms are constantly at war with one another. You don't really need much more of a story to go with that, they are mushrooms and they are fighting.
Mushroom Wars 2 includes a fairly sizeable campaign along with a selection of multiplayer modes for those who need to prove their mushroom superiority. The campaign is a nice touch as it includes a slow burn tutorial that introduces the player to all the ins and outs of marshaling a mushroom army. There are more than 100 missions in total, and while most of them follow the same basic formula, there are a few surprises thrown in, such as boss battles, and the easy going nature of the gameplay keeps the repetition to a minimum. That being said, the campaign does last ages. Multiplayer comes in a variety of different modes, with players able to team up or fight against others. The campaign is where players will learn the ropes, while multiplayer matches are going to be the reason to keep coming back to the game.
Anyone who played the original will quickly feel at home with these mushroom warriors. At its most simple, this is a game of superior numbers. The player controls a village, for example, which slowly generates mushroom warriors. To take over an enemy or neutral village, simply order more warriors to invade that village than are already there. Using the mouse, although the gamepad is supported, it is just a matter of clicking your own village and then clicking an enemy village to watch all of the mushrooms from your village head over to the other village. The wheel on the mouse can change between sending 100% of the troops, or 75%, 50% and 25%, giving the player control over how many remain behind to defend. It really can be that easy.
Sacrificing a few mushrooms to upgrade a village building will allow both an increased capacity and the faster generation of mushroom warriors. Most single screen maps have multiple buildings, so as the game progresses, more and more mushrooms come under the players control. Things also move very quickly, with a race to grab as many neutral buildings as possible right from the get go. There is no hanging around, especially when it comes to the multiplayer matches, so be ready!
Adding layers of strategy to an otherwise simple game, there are towers to capture that will will fire upon enemy troops within their area of effect, and they can be upgraded. Then there are forges that offer handy upgrades. Finally, there are heroes. Each tribe has its own selection of heroes that come equipped with four special abilities powered by the death of mushrooms. These abilities really can be game changers, having an impact on either troops or buildings, and can turn the tide of battle. There is also a morale system which can offer buffs to the player depending on how many stars they have, but I didn't really find this had much of an impact on the battles, mostly because they are over too quickly for me to notice.
This really is one of the highlights of the game. Matches can be over in under five minutes, which means that players can squeeze in much more mushroom domination into their gaming sessions. Of course, they can last longer, but the game is really designed towards the quick hit matches.
Visually, Mushroom Wars 2 looks great. It has a nice playful feel to it, despite the game being focused on wholesale mushroom slaughter. The different tribes are quite distinctively coloured, so they are easy to tell apart, and the backdrops are pleasant without being distracting.
Mushroom Wars 2 is a really addictive little RTS game. It really does embody the "easy to learn, difficult to master" format as there is plenty of depth hidden beneath the surface, and discovering new tactics through multiplayer matches is part of the appeal. The single player game will appeal to the more casual crowd, but may become a little too repetitive for proper RTS fans. But the multiplayer is really where the game shines. Pick up Mushroom Wars 2 and prove you are a Fungi.

The systems asks consumers to answer 10 questions about characteristics such as age, height, weight and smoking-status. The system then signs a consumer risk score ranging from 1 to 100.
The new system is a version of a system LifeScore Labs began offering to life insurers in 2018.
Consumers can use the new system free of charge. LifeScore Labs says it will give the users "the option to explore products aligned to their needs."

Riveters: Vote in the 107ist Board Elections
The 107ist is holding the annual elections over the next week. There is a candidate forum on Saturday, November 16th from 1-3pm at the Artists Repertory Theater (SW Morrison & 16th).
The Rose City Riveters is a new supporters group. We thought some members might be new to this process and wanted to stress the importance of the support of the 107ist, as well as why it is important to get involved with the decisions made in the organization. To help convey the importance of voting in the current election cycle if you are already a member and joining/renewing with 107ist in 2014, we've asked for feedback from three active Rose City Riveters. Their voices are below.
Luke Fritz:
I joined the effort that eventually became known as Rose City Riveters immediately upon Portland being announced as an NWSL team. My roots of support for women's soccer are personal and local. My friend Ruth used to offer me her player's allotment tickets for her University of Portland games. This allowed me to realize what outstanding role models and players the Pilots were – it was easy to connect to and cheer on my friend and her teammates.
When the Thorns were announced as a franchise, I also felt a special responsibility to support the team because of my work as a high school teacher. My students frequently tell me about participating in sports. In order for the girls I teach to have a professional soccer career in the US as a legitimate option, this league *must* be successful.
Having been an outsider of any formal soccer supporters groups in Portland until late last year, the experience of finding conduits for supporting the Thorns has been revealing. I learned there was a real groundswell of support for the team before a game had been played, a player announced, or even a name for the team. It took me a while to learn enough about what the 107ist does and how it operates before I committed to joining, but I am glad I did. The work the organization does, entirely on a volunteer basis, is outstanding. The access to ideas, energy, and funding for support is absolutely essential to what the Rose City Riveters aspire to do in supporting the Thorns, our town, and our community. As such, it is critically important that we elect 107ist board members who align with the stated mission to support soccer at all levels in Portland, especially in regards to this wonderful opportunity for growth.
Lexi Stern:
I've been volunteering on game day ops for the TA for a few years. This past year I've also gotten pretty heavily involved in helping to create the Rose City Riveters game day experience both at home and on the road, helping however I can with drums, chants, tifo, flags, whatever. I can tell you firsthand that virtually none of what we've accomplished could have come about without the support of the 107ist and their commitment to growing soccer in this city.
Having a Riveters liaison to the 107ist board gave us a voice: it let us work directly with both the Timbers Army and the Timbers/Thorns FO to take advantage of relationships and processes already in place, and it gave us access to funds to use on our way to becoming self-sustaining. That is how we got flags, drums, and smoke, and permission to store and use them in Jeld-Wen. That is how we got shared space, materials, and additional budget to create tifo for Thorns matches, including the largest tifo display on record for a women's club team anywhere. That is how we were able to produce scarves, T-shirts, patches, and more. That is how we could afford to print chant and info sheets week after week to get new supporters involved on game day.
All of this is why it's so important that you, as a Rose City Riveter, familiarize yourself with the current slate of candidates for the 107ist board and cast your vote thoughtfully. If you're not a member this year, this is why you should join for 2014.
Gabby Rosas:
The Riveters did a great job this year, having only a few months to get organized, determine a game plan, then execute those ideas. But our women's soccer supporters group had a head start on other groups in the NWSL – we had the 107ist supporting every effort we made. From the bus trips to Tukwila where the 107ist fronted the costs of the buses and tickets, to the Superhero tifo at the final where the 107ist paid for the materials and facility.
The Riveters have a great relationship with the Thorns Front Office because we are a part of the 107ist. When we wanted to present our Rose City Riveters Player of the Year with an award (a vase and base paid for by the 107ist), our relationship with the Front Office allowed us on the field after the match to give that award to Karina.
But I want to do more. We have dreams and goals. We want to grow. And we can grow with continued support.
If you're a paid member of the 107ist, you're already supporting the Rose City Riveters and the Thorns. We need your continued support. Make sure you get involved in the candidate forum on Saturday and please vote.
Please share your own reasons for supporting the 107ist in the comments. We want to make sure everyone understands the importance of getting involved.

Keep stored maps for ever
When the Norgeskart app was originally developed, the Norwegian mapping authorities posed restrictions on how long applications could keep the maps (2 weeks). One could also not use their services for commercial purposes.
The Norwegian mapping authorities has now lifted these restrictions, but we have decided to still delete stored maps after 2 weeks for users without a subscriptions. The reason for this is the great amount of development hours it takes to develop and maintain the app.
