What to expect at your first visit.

Initial visits are typically longer because it is important to gather information about your symptoms to create a diagnosis.

The history is where you tell your story.

This is the part where you tell me where it hurts, when it started to hurt and what makes it worse.

Then, I will ask you to go deeper.

There are injuries and medical conditions in the past that can have an impact to today’s issue. For example, being an elite figure skater during childhood can create issues with the way you activate your core at the gym. We develop motor patterns that become subconscious and as adults, we don’t know how to adjust these patterns to different types of activities. This “go to” motor pattern, can cause injuries like hip and knee pain for example.

Car accidents

I know, it’s hard to recount past traumas, however even the smallest perceived trauma can have lasting effects. I’ve had patients in my office who downplayed past accidents where they lost consciousness, the car flipped over and the “jaws of life” were required to remove them from the scene. As they recounted the trauma, they said it was “no big deal” and that “no follow up treatment was required.”

Trauma gets stored in the body.

And so, as the holistic detective I gather information about your lifestyle, level of activity, quality of sleep and stress levels to get the whole picture.

Physical examination

In this phase, I do a postural assessment as well as a joint specific assessment in the areas that need to be assessed.

Chiropractors assess beyond the spine. I also assess shoulders, wrists, ankles and hips. Basically if it’s a joint or a muscle, I will assess it if it part of your symptoms.

Specificity and Big Picture

I also investigate kinetic chains. In this way, I don’t “spot search” or “spot treat”. I keep the biomechanics of the movement in mind.

The goal is to improve performance, therefore if you have knee pain, but we don’t address foot posture or the stability in your spine and pelvis, then we won’t get a full reason why your body is functioning the way it is.

Anatomy Lesson

After the assessment is complete, I will sit with you to discuss the findings and teach you a mini anatomy lesson so that you understand WHY and WHAT is happening.

When you are empowered to know what is going on, then you can make a positive change.

Report of Findings & Consent

A copy of the summary of findings will be emailed to you with a list of self-care action steps to support your treatment plan.

Treatment options like: Chiropractic, Medical Acupuncture, Myofascial Release, Kinesiotaping and Prescribed Exercise Rehabilitation will be offered.

Once you decide which tools you feel comfortable to heal your issue, then formal consent it taken.

Then it’s healing time.

Treatment is always offered at your initial visit.

Exercise prescription

Every new patient will be prescribed a curated set of exercises and stretches that will support the healing of their condition via the Physitrack app. The app is free and you will get a complete video library through which you can track your pain levels and your attendance.

It’s all about accountability when you want transformation.

Well there you have it.

The initial visit is all about:

  1. Gathering information
  2. Assessing your body’s mobility, strength and neurological signs
  3. Empowering you with information
  4. Consent
  5. Treatment
  6. Tools for your successful transformation

Now over to you.

If you have a goal that you want to accomplish, comment below.

The ADA Turns 30: Still Fighting for Integration

In honor of the 30th anniversary of the ADA, NH Bar News published the following piece by DRC-NH Policy Director, Mike Skibbie:

Download a copy of the NH Bar News here

This month marks thirty years since the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law. From the use of curb cuts and ramps to accessible transportation and voting, the ADA has fundamentally altered our understanding of what it means to live with a disability.

As we celebrate three decades of this civil rights law, we remember one of the most important ADA cases in New Hampshire, Amanda D. v. Hassan, a case that continues to change mental health services in the state.

In passing the ADA in 1990, Congress rightly observed that “individuals with disabilities continually encounter various forms of discrimination, including outright intentional exclusion, the discriminatory effects of architectural, transportation, and communication barriers, overprotective rules and policies, failure to make modifications to existing facilities and practices, exclusionary qualification standards and criteria, segregation, and relegation to lesser services, programs, activities, benefits, jobs, or other opportunities.”

With the ADA, Congress for the first time identified the segregation of people with disabilities as a form of discrimination:  “historically, society has tended to isolate and segregate individuals with disabilities, and, despite some improvements, such forms of discrimination against individuals with disabilities continue to be a serious and pervasive social problem.”

The “integration mandate” of the ADA is designed to address the segregation problem.  The regulations issued pursuant to the ADA which apply to public entities state that disability services are to be administered “in the most integrated setting appropriate to the needs of qualified individuals with disabilities,” meaning “a setting that enables individuals with disabilities to interact with non-disabled persons to the fullest extent possible.”

The United States Supreme Court took up the integration issue in 1999 and concluded that persons who qualify for services in the community and wish to receive them there are entitled under the ADA to live outside institutions so long as integrated services can be reasonably provided. In the Olmstead v. L.C opinion, Justice Ginsberg described the impact of segregation of people with disabilities:

“Recognition that unjustified institutional isolation of persons with disabilities is a form of discrimination reflects two evident judgments. First, institutional placement of persons who can handle and benefit from community settings perpetuates unwarranted assumptions that persons so isolated are incapable or unworthy of participating in community life. Second, confinement in an institution severely diminishes the everyday life activities of individuals, including family relations, social contacts, work options, economic independence, educational advancement, and cultural enrichment.”

Although states can attempt to defend their use of institutions through the use of the “fundamental alteration” defense, often by claiming that providing services in more integrated settings will be too costly, the good news is that in most circumstances community-based services are less expensive, especially if care is taken to design programs like Medicaid to support such services.

The Amanda D. case was based on the integration mandate.  Investigations by Disability Rights Center-NH and the United States Department of Justice (USDOJ) concluded in 2011 that people with mental illness in New Hampshire were being unnecessarily institutionalized at New Hampshire Hospital and other public facilities, and that significant numbers of people were at risk of such institutionalization.

A class-action lawsuit alleging violations of the ADA and other federal statutes was filed the United States District Court in early 2012.  DRC-NH was joined in the litigation by Devine Millimet and two national disability rights organizations, the Center for Public Representation and the Judge David L. Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law.  The USDOJ joined the case as a plaintiff-intervenor that spring.

After Judge Steven McAuliffe granted class certification in September 2013, the parties reached a settlement, which was approved by the court the following February.

The agreement requires the state to provide community-based services and supports to people who would otherwise be unnecessarily institutionalized at New Hampshire Hospital or the Glencliff Nursing Home. These include:

  • multi-disciplinary Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)s services sufficient to serve 1500 individuals
  • expanded supported housing services
  • community housing for persons with complex medical needs and mental illness residing at the Glencliff Home
  • expanded supported employment programs
  • mobile crisis services in the Concord, Manchester, and Nashua regions
  • improved transition planning at both New Hampshire Hospital and the Glencliff Home
  • development of a quality assurance system

More than 5 years after the settlement was approved, the implementation process continues.  In his most recent report, issued in January of this year, the independent expert reviewing the state’s compliance with the settlement stated that in the years since the settlement was reached, “a number of positive steps have been taken to improve the quality and effectiveness of [community mental health] services.”

However, he cautioned that “the State remains out of compliance with the CMHA in several critical areas.”  The areas identified by the expert include housing, Glencliff Home transitions to the community, and ACT services.

Disability Rights Center-NH and the Department of Justice continue to monitor the state’s efforts at compliance with the Amanda D. settlement.  As that process continues, the state has moved in the direction of expansion of mobile crisis services.  In 2019, legislation was passed which required the establishment of a statewide system of mobile crisis services for children.  This would be a significant improvement to the children’s behavioral health system, and there is hope that when the system is established it will be available for adults as well.

People with disabilities have without question benefited from the ADA in the thirty years since its passage.  Cases like Amanda D. have to some extent furthered community integration for people receiving state-provided services.  The experience of that litigation, however, is a demonstration that passage of a civil rights statute does not remove the need for continued vigilance and advocacy so that progress continues.

Disability Rights Center – New Hampshire is a statewide non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating barriers for people with disabilities across New Hampshire. DRC is the federally designated protection and advocacy agency for New Hampshire and has authority under federal law to conduct investigations in cases of probable abuse or neglect.

Science Girl Goes To Space

The local museum wished to celebrate the flight of Yuri Gargarin, the first man in space, and of course Space Girl had to go along.

The pattern was a simple one I actually used previously on this octopus dress, when I first joined spoonflower (and completely unrelated, started sewing more frequently). McCall’s M6027. I wrote a review of this pattern here: McCall’s Dress M6027 ★★★

The fabric is one of Spoonflower’s most popular galaxy prints. But, it wasn’t quite evocative of a true midnight sky… It needed something more.

I used the excellent bedazzling skills I learned at halloween to give the dress a little extra sparkle.

The dress was a big hit, everyone loved it. There was even a place where you could pose with real space-gear in front of the moon mural. Science Girl couldn’t fit the helmet on her head, so she chose the boot instead.

McCall’s Dress M6027 ★★★

14lineartI was a bit rushed when I used this pattern, so I don’t really know if the problems I had with the fit around the shoulders were really me, or it. But it honestly think the pattern is just fit weirdly. Other than that, its a very simple pattern, just a series of curved strips that build a dress. And I got many compliments on the finished dress, so it worked out well.

To see that dress, check it out here:Science Girl Goes To Space

Toothbrushing Mistake No. 4: “Brushing Too Often or Too Hard”

tooth brushingThough you may believe that you’ve got excellent brushing technique, you may in fact be treating your teeth and gums to a workout that they simply don’t deserve. While everyone wants pearly white teeth and healthy pink gums, allowing the toothbrush bristles to do the majority of the work is always the best course of action. Brushing with too much pressure can actually irritate the gums and cause previously healthy areas to become swollen. Seriously inflamed gums can make chewing painful, especially when salty, crunchy snacks are being enjoyed. Reputable orthodontists offer the following tips so that the worst problems can be avoided:

  • Recognize that thorough brushing is better than hard brushing
  • Use a soft-bristled toothbrush or switch to a quality electric toothbrush
  • Do not squash the bristles of the brush against the teeth
  • Speak with your orthodontist about brushing with braces

Preserving Enamel

By brushing twice each day and avoiding harsh strokes, you can also preserve your enamel, which is the hard outer layer of the teeth. The enamel keeps the teeth looking pearly white and also prevents the yellow dentin underneath from becoming exposed. If hard brushing has already worn away some of the enamel, your trusted orthodontist can likely fix the problem by adding bonding material to specific locations within the mouth.

Brush Twice Each Day

Brushing two times each day should be enough to remove the plaque, which is actually quite soft. If you’ve been in the habit of brushing three or even four times per day, you may be doing more harm than good. By limiting your brushing to once in the morning and once in the evening before you go to bed, you can remove nearly all of the plaque that has become bound to your teeth.

Isaiah: The Prophet and his Book

One of the major flashpoints in academic biblical studies in the past 125 years has centred on the authorship and dating of the book of Isaiah. Beginning in the late 1800s, some scholars suggested that this book may have been written by multiple people over a period of centuries, a view that contrasts with the traditional one that the entire book of Isaiah was written in the eighth century BC by the Judean prophet Isaiah ben Amoz. Because for many conservative scholars the latter position is the only one that respects the divine inspiration of the text, and because they also believe that this position is endorsed by Jesus in the New Testament, the differing conclusions of mainstream and conservative scholars regarding the authorship and dating of the book of Isaiah have long served to divide these groups.

Bind Up the Testimony—a collection of essays from a colloquium held at Wheaton College in 2013—brings together a variety of evangelical responses to this issue. Several authors suggest that the book of Isaiah cannot be related as a whole to the historical Isaiah of the eighth century before Christ. As we know from the prophet Jeremiah, it may be that pupils of prophets wrote down the prophecies and certainly there was redaction in regard of order. But when the relation between the historical prophet and the message of his book is loosened this undermines the full authority. The authority of the prophetical books is based on the fact the prophet who uttered the prophecies was called by the LORD. This fact is underlined by John W. Hilber in his article ‘Isaiah as Prophet and Isaiah as Book in Their Ancient Near Eastern Context’.

In Bind Up the Testimony four authors arrive at fully conservative conclusions regarding the author-ship and dating of the book of Isaiah. Two them wrote a commentary on Isaiah, namely (Gary V. Smith in the series New American Commentary and John Oswalt in the series New International Commentary on the Old Testament. Both authors wrote two volumes: one on Isaiah 1-39 and one Isaiah 40-66. Just as my Dutch colleague prof. dr. Mart Jan Paul I think that loosening the relationship between the prophet Isaiah and his book undermines it divine authority. For them who can read Dutch I point to the third chapter of his recent publication Struikelblokken, Veertig vragen bij het Oude Testament.

Dr. Mart Jan Paul, Struikelblokken. Veertig vragen bij het Oude Testament (Apeldoorn: De Banier, 2020), paperback 297 pp., €16,95 (ISBN 9789087182854)

How Winter Will Affect Your Shoulder

In every medical discipline, changes in weather affect a person’s health. In orthopedics, the cold weather can lead to problems with muscles, bones, and joints. Your shoulder is one of the most used muscles and joints in your entire body, which means it’s also the most vulnerable when the seasons change. Learn how the weather can hurt your shoulder, and what you can do to avoid it.

winter shoulder injuriesCold Weather and Shoulder Pain

During the winter, the number of people who suffer from shoulder pain dramatically increases. This isn’t exclusive to your shoulder either. Cold weather causes pre-existing shoulder pain to get worse, which means it’s not a quick fix.

Many people think shoulder pain is only caused from overuse, injury, or sleeping on it funny. In fact, many cases of shoulder pain are caused by your circulatory system and a dramatic change in blood supply. This tends to be the cause for more chronic pain. Poor circulation stiffens muscles and tendons which can lead to some severe pain and even degenerative shoulder issues in seniors.

Keeping your environment warm is a good way to avoid some pain this winter.

Winter Activities Lend Themselves to Shoulder Pain

Winter Sports – When people think of injuries, specifically sports injuries, people jump to summer. Winter sports are just as physical, if not more, as any other season. A lot of indoor sports can actually be more dangerous because there’s less of a padded surface on the ground; falling on grass is much better than rubber cement. Additionally, sports like hockey are extremely physical.

Ice – You don’t have to play sports to get an injury. Winter in general creates a pretty hazardous environment for most people. Just walking your dog in the morning can be dangerous. All it takes is a small tug of force for you to lose your grip and slip on a patch of ice.

Shoveling/Plowing – For the shoulder, shoveling is one of the leading causes of shoulder pain or injury. On top of the weather making your muscles tense, you’re putting extreme stress on your rotator cuff and surrounding muscles. The problem too is that many people can’t really feel the warning signs due to the numbness of the cold until after they’re done. Scraping ice and snow off of your car is another cause of straining your shoulder.

Car Accidents – In addition to walking on ice, driving on ice is even more dangerous. Even just a minor fender bender can lead to a shoulder injury.

Avoiding Shoulder Injury and Pain This Winter

You can avoid a lot of pain this season by adjusting a few things in your lifestyle.

  • Invest in a snow blower
  • Get a longer reaching ice scraper, or one that’s heated so it takes less effort
  • Use a sturdy shovel and lift with your legs
  • Wear proper equipment when playing sports, even recreational
  • Be extremely careful when driving, and try to avoid going out in extreme conditions
  • Wear appropriate footwear with good grip and walk more carefully
  • If you start to notice shoulder pain, put a heating pad or take warm showers to help relax your muscles
  • Stay inside in a warm environment as much as possible

This winter, keep Dr. Samuel Koo in mind if you start to experience shoulder pain. If shoulder pain is consistent and persists for more than a couple months, you should schedule an appointment to get it checked out. You can also call (425) 823-4000 with any questions.

Fall ReleaseGVR Estate Vineyard Jack Robert's Run Syrah

Winemaker’s Notes

The Dutton-Gregori vineyard continues to captivate us with its combination of aromatic fireworks and coastal fruit purity which makes this single vineyard wine such a unique offering. Harvested from the same vines as the 2004 release, yet a full month later, the cool elongated ripening conditions have amplified the wine's blue-fruited profile and an additional two years' vine age has deepened the palate's texture. We made two fruit thinning passes in a growing season that was marked by a plentiful fruit set, so that by harvest the moderate crop of small-berried clusters steadily ripened to perfection under sunny warm late fall skies. The explosive aromatics which linger the entire length of the wine create tremendous energy and are a telltale sign of the vineyard's Green Valley origins. The wine possesses great deep-flavored extract with plenty of power in reserve to allow a decade of aging potential. The supple ripe tannic frame picks up and extends the palate and is buffered by the wine's lush seamless weight. This is a beautiful wine from a fabulous vintage for Syrah.

Purple/black color. Classic floral intensity with pungent blueberry and blackberry aromas with a sprinkling of violet and licorice. Cassis liqueur and graphite dominate the palate which is beautifully full, rich and plush, yet lively and vibrant throughout. The layers of texture build to a finish that features powerfully chewy tannins and lingering fruit sweetness. Cellar for at least two years and decant for a minimum of two hours.

U.S. House Committee Proposes To Impose Major Impediments to U.S.-Cuba Reconciliation

The U.S. House of Representatives Appropriations Committee is in the process of considering a proposed appropriations bill for the U.S. Department of State that would impose monetary restrictions on the U.S. government’s implementation of the Obama Administration’s rapprochement with Cuba.[1]

This intent was mentioned in a June 2nd press release by the House Appropriations Committee regarding its draft FY 2016 appropriations bill for State and Foreign Operations for consideration tomorrow by its State and Foreign Operations Subcommittee.

In addition to funding the State Department and foreign assistance, said the press release, the bill includes a prohibition on using funds for an U.S. embassy or other diplomatic facility in Cuba beyond what was in existence prior to the December 17, 2014, announcement of rapprochement by President Obama. The bill also would restrict funds to facilitate the opening of a Cuban embassy in the U.S., increase democracy assistance and international broadcasting to Cuba and provide direction to the Secretary of State on denying visas to members of the Cuban military and Communist party.

The bill would maintain a requirement that the State Department must notify Congress if it commits to providing assistance to foreign governments that accept Guantanamo Bay detainees and add a requirement for regular reporting to Congress of any negotiations for future detainee transfers.

Representative Kevin McCarthy, the Republican House Majority Leader, said at a news conference, “I think we have been very clear with our challenges with what’s gone on in Cuba, from human rights, from what’s happened there, and we have a difference of opinion with the administration and we have a right to express it.”

Now we wait to see whether this Subcommittee and then the full Committee and the House as a whole pass the bill with these restrictions. The fact that the Republican Majority Leader in the House supports these restrictions does not bode well for defeating these restrictions in the House. Then it will be up to the Senate to delete these restrictions and prevail in conference with the House on such a difference.

U.S. citizens who support normalization and reconciliation with Cuba should press their Senators and Representatives to oppose these provisions of the appropriations bill.

Of course, President Obama could veto any bill with such restrictions after passage by both chambers of Congress. But then the State Department would be left without any appropriated funds to carry out its many functions.

[1] This post is based upon the following: House App. Comm., Draft Bill Making appropriations for the Department of State, foreign operations, and related programs for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016, and for other purposes (June 2, 2015); House App. Comm, Press Release: Appropriations Committee Releases Fiscal Year 2016 State and Foreign Operations bill, (June 2, 2015); Reuters, U.S. House Panel Seeks to Ban Funding for U.S. Embassy in Cuba, N.Y.

Thoughts on Coraline and my Other Mother

When I work too much, I think about Coraline and the movie’s titular character. Specifically, I think about how Coraline’s parents were so caught up in their writing projects that they never noticed their child was sneaking off to another world and that Other Mother was trying to replace her with a button-eyed doll.

I imagine Coraline and then immediately abandon my projects for the day to play with my children.

It’s a bit extreme. Part of that is fueled by my intrusive thoughts (OCD-related), but recalling the movie keeps me grounded when I’m doing too much.

I shared that last bit of nonsense with you simply to say that I haven’t needed to lean on Coraline so far this month.

In my last post, I wrote about taking some time to rest, and I have surprised myself (and even some friends) by following through. Since December 1, I’ve made it my mission to prioritize my rest and my family’s collective joie de vivre.

I’ve realized three things since the 1st:

  1. I’ve lost a lot of my “play.” It takes way too long to jumpstart the fun side of me nowadays.
  1. Trying to recuperate from an entire year’s worth of work in 3-4 weeks isn’t enough.
  1. I am Coraline and my ambition is Other Mother.

I am humbled by these revelations. I’m still trying to process them fully, but I recognize that serious change must happen if I am to maintain my inner vibrancy going forward.

My hope for you is that you are also making time for yourself, to recapture or even kindle that life spark in you that is trying to dim.

Jodhpur Airport (JDH)

Jodhpur Airport code is JDH. Jodhpur Airport is a civil enclave airport in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India. It is operated by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and shares its airside with the Jodhpur Air Base of the Indian Air Force (IAF). The Government of Rajasthan signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Air Force for the expansion of the civil enclave in March 2017, wherein 37 acres of IAF land would be transferred to AAI. The Jodhpur Flying Club was set up by His Highness Maharaja Umaid Singh in the 1920s at a small airfield near his Chittar Palace in Jodhpur. The airfield was later upgraded in 1950 after the formation of the Royal Indian Air Force (that later became the Indian Air Force). Jodhpur was home to the IAF's Air Force Flying College until the 1965 war.

Government kept out of the loop – Rajitha

Tensions between President Maithripala Sirisena and the Government emerged at a press conference addressed by several Cabinet Ministers in Colombo yesterday about the Easter Sunday massacre.

Health Minister Rajitha Senaratne who was the first speaker said that Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe and the Cabinet had not been informed by the Police and Security Services that foreign intelligence agencies had warned Sri Lanka that there will be attacks against Christian places of worship and tourist destinations.

“If we had been told we could have taken precautions,” he said.

His Cabinet colleague John Amaratunge who is in charge of Tourism and Christian Affairs also said he had not been told, although the intelligence report stated that these two sectors had been threatened.

Senaratne obliquely attacks the President

Senaratne also obliquely criticized the President saying that when the Head of State and Minister in charge of the Police was out of the country when the attacks took place and nobody was deputizing for him.

“When a crisis like yesterday’s attacks took place there was no Minister in charge present,” he pointed out.

Senaratne also pointed out that the Prime Minister had not been invited to attend Security Council Meetings since the October crisis.

“Ranil Wickremesinghe has attended Security Council meetings since the 1980s. He is the most experienced politician on security matters in the country, but the Security Council doors have been closed to him,” he went on.

Senaratne revealed that on Sunday when the Security Council met after the attacks the Prime Minister had gone to the Ministry of Defense. “But he was not allowed into the meeting but had to wait in State Minister Ruwan Wijewardene’s office for 20 minutes,” he added.

Finally he had been allowed in and had chaired the meeting Senaratne said.

Asked why this had happened Senaratne said “they had orders from above.” He was asked to clarify that remark but refused to answer.

Eventually when President Maithripala Sirisena convened the Security Council yesterday Wickremesinghe and Ministers Arjuna Ranatunge and Thalatha Athukorala were also invited.

Curiously the picture released by the Presidential Secretariat of the meeting showed four SLFP MPs also attending the meeting which is usually closed off to most people. The MPs are Dayasiri Jayasekara, Faiszer Mustapha, Ranjith Siyambalapitiya and Thilanga Sumathipala.

TEXT: Isaiah 6:1-8; Mt. 4:18-22

  1. If you have ever ignored a ringing phone because you knew who it was, sit down.
    2. If you have ever picked up the phone and said something stupid because you thought you knew who it was, sit down.
    3. If you’ve ever tried to imitate a bird call, sit down.
    4. If you’ve ever lost your religion over the call of an umpire or referee, sit down.
    5. If you’ve ever fallen or dropped something trying to get to a ringing phone, sit down.
    6. If you’ve ever stayed home from some place you really wanted to go because you were expecting an important call, sit down.
    7. If you’ve ever sat by the phone waiting for someone to call, sit down.

I took you through that just as a reminder of the different kinds of calls that we hear, and just how important a call can be. We’ve all experienced one sort of call or another, and the call of God to Isaiah in chapter 6 is one of the more famous ones in Scripture.

Isaiah’s call comes in the form of a vision, where he sees God way up high on a throne and God’s kingly robe is so huge that the hem of it completely fills the temple.  There are all these strange beasts with lots of wings who were attending to God and proclaiming God’s holiness with such power that the temple shook and filled with smoke.  Now, most of us can’t claim to have had such an experience, but for those of us who choose to pay attention to our spiritual lives, we can often point to several “aha” moments on the spiritual journey.

The initial one of those, the one that usually propels us to begin the spiritual walk in the first place, is usually the realization that the existence of God is a very real possibility.  Maybe we hadn’t really considered that before, but something happens that makes us say there might actually be a God, in which case I had better pay attention. We might not be sure at that point. We might not know anything about the nature of that God. But God suddenly becomes real enough that we feel compelled to investigate further.

We often move from there to a conviction that there is a God, and unfortunately a lot of people stop their spiritual journey right there. They figure that they’ve reached the destination of believing in God, they sit down on a bench by the side of the road, and never take another step.  Sometimes they don’t go further because they think that’s all there is and, frankly, it seems a bit dull.  If the first experience of God is more powerful, some might not continue for the same reason Isaiah stops in his tracks.  God seems too overwhelming or scary or holy and it seems like a safer idea to keep God at arm’s length.

After all the shaking and smoking in Isaiah’s vision, he cries out “Woe is me!  I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!”  When confronted with the glory of God, the first thing that Isaiah becomes aware of is his own sinfulness…both individually and in the nation to which he belongs.  And he’s scared.  He doesn’t think there’s even a chance for repentance.  When he beholds the full glory of God, his first thought is, “That’s it.  I’m toast.”

Of course he isn’t, and neither are we.  Whether we’re bored or scared, if you have reached the point of a basic belief in God, you that you haven’t even left the spiritual driveway yet.  If you’ll pull out onto the road for just a minute, I’ll tell you about the second “aha” moment in the spiritual journey.

That moment is that the God that you just discovered is calling you, by name– your phone number, your address, specifically you.  That’s the place where I want to focus for this first sermon this morning.  Next week we’ll look at the ways that God heals us and equips us when we answer that call, but none of that will matter unless we first realize that God is calling us in the first place.

So for today, the one realization that I want you to take home is, “God is calling me.”  It’s not that God has put out a general call and I can respond if I please.  It’s not that God is calling a pay phone and whoever happens to walk by can answer it.  God is calling you, personally, at home, on your cell.  Isaiah’s vision is not being played in theaters across Israel.  It is only Isaiah who sees, and one of the seraphs with all those wings is touching his lips and no one else’s.

Often when we in the church talk about calling we tend to focus on the work that God calls us to do. In the ordained ministry especially, we are always talking about “my call,” which is synonymous with talking about the particular work that I do, my vocation. Even the word “vocation” comes from the Latin word for “call.” But calling is only secondarily about work and about vocation. Calling is not so much about what you do as about whom you do it for.  Calling makes no sense without their first being a Caller.  We are first and foremost called to be in relationship with God.  If you want a business and work metaphor, you can say that calling is not about your job title. It’s about your employer.  God is the employer who wants to have you on the company team.

God will provide all the training that you need. God will even start you out with a year or two of paid leave if you’re having a personal or family crisis that prevents you from starting work right away. You can discuss your actual job duties later. God just wants to make you a lifetime partner in the firm. Guaranteed employment — if it gets so that you can no longer do the first assignment, there’ll be another one that better suits your circumstances. You will never be laid off, fired, or forced to retire. You’re being called simply because God thinks you’re great, and wants to have you around.

If we make the mistake of equating calling with a specific line of work, we run the risk of a huge loss of purpose and meaning if our circumstances change and we can no longer do that task.  I often say I’m called to preach the Word of God. And it’s true that being in the pulpit trying to make God’s Word accessible to people is my current job assignment from God.  I have no doubt of that whatsoever.  But it’s misleading to say that that is my calling.  My calling is simply to say yes to God for relationship and then, across the course of my life, to do whatever specific tasks God asks me to do at whatever time.

One of the most common questions that I get as a pastor is some form of, “How do I know that God is speaking?”  Unfortunately, the only way to really know God is speaking is by getting to know God personally.  There isn’t an automatic caller ID on every message from God.  We know it’s God’s voice because we have enough experience with God to recognize it.  If I hear a voice in the hall, the only way I know who that voice is, is to go out and look.  If the same voice is in that hall day after day, after several times of going to look, I’ll soon know without looking.  I know when God is speaking to me because I recognize the voice from my experience.

When we are young, either physically or in our faith, and don’t have those kinds of experiences with God to draw from, we need to ask others.  Wherever we are on the road, there’s always somebody behind us on the road and somebody ahead of us.  No matter what stage we’re at, whether we’ve just pulled out of the driveway or we’re cruising down the interstate, we all need help and advice from those further along, and we all need to be available to help those who are not quite as far as we are.

If you haven’t heard God’s call on your life, it’s not because God isn’t calling.  You just need to learn what the voice sounds like.  Maybe you’re waiting for the phone to ring while God has been sending e-mails.  Maybe the call was sitting in the Bible reading for today, but you didn’t pick it up and read it.  Maybe you’re waiting for something that sounds great and powerful while your two-year old is bringing God’s message to you.

At this point in my Spiritual life I know God’s voice pretty well.  My problems now don’t come because I don’t recognize the voice; they come because I know what the voice is likely to say and I don’t want to hear it.  Isaiah was sure that if God spoke it would be his doom.  But it wasn’t.  God responded to Isaiah’s overweening guilt with a ritual cleansing and the words God spoke were not words of condemnation, but words of forgiveness.  “Your guilt has departed and your sin is blotted out,” says the seraph.

And then, it comes.  Once Isaiah is ready to listen, the call is given.  It is not a command, but an offer.  “Whom shall I send,” asks God, “and who will go for us?”  Isaiah steps up to the plate, and God gives him a message for the people…a message that will go on to include predictions of a suffering servant who will blot out the transgressions of Israel, just like the seraph blotted out Isaiah’s sins with a burning coal. God is calling you by name. Can you hear it? Will you hear it? It’s the call that will change your life and perhaps the lives of others.  It won’t go away.  If the line is busy, God will call back.  If the phone is busy God will try the door or email.  God is calling you.  Have you ever really answered?  Have you ever finally stopped and said, “Here am I, send me?”  The purpose of your life is waiting to be fulfilled, and God can accomplish it whether you’re 10, 50, or 100 years old.  God wants you on the team.  What will your answer be?  Amen.

Product Description

Polished Brass Art Deco Twin LED Tube Light is a medium to high lumen output polished brass decorative task light. This light replicates a 1920’s German fluorescent tube light with the benefit of using current LED technology. The polished brass Art Deco inspired twin LED tube light is the perfect solution for providing task lighting in hospitality, commercial or domestic settings.  The timeless design of this Polished Brass Art Deco light is perfectly suited to both modern and heritage interiors spaces.

The polished brass surface of this fitting is hand finished and not treated with any clear coat or anodizing. The brass will tarnish and will require polishing with Brasso®.  Over time we assume the surface will acquire a patina from subsequent polishing.

LED strip tubes

We create an LED tube from 4 segments each containing one LED strip adhered to aluminium channel. These are then covered with clear or translucent poly carbonate and glued together to form a tube with similar proportions to a traditional florescent tube. Using LED gives us the ability to create a lamp with a range of options for dimming and colour temperature. Dimming is compatible across a wide range of systems. Normal production LED strip lights do not have replacement LED components but due to the build of this light we are able to supply replacement tube components if one should fail during the warranty period. At times a driver may fail and this is also a replaceable component. We feel that making components available as spare parts makes this brass light a future proof solution giving many years of service.

This light is created in our workshop by hand with solid brass sheets folded to create a box that contains the low voltage driver and the pendant support systems. Brass sheet is also used to house the special LED tube mount blocks that are currently 3D printed in-house. The light can be suspended by a single solid brass tube of varied lengths available when ordering. The ceiling rose/canopy supplied is a cast polished brass. We supply with 5 cables to the ceiling for mains and dimming as bar mounted option.

Brass bar suspension can be selected up to 1500mm but this will require a location without air movement as it would sway around at this length. We can also supply to be suspended by two chain points if required. Chain not supplied but we do stock some chain options. We would recommend brass chain when hanging this fitting. If you wish to chain this fitting you may need to place an order for chain hook ceiling roses. There is also an option to supply 1500mm long with two hook points. This will allow for two stabilizing wires or chains to be used at either end of the light.

Cable included is black plastic at a length of 1.8 meters, Dimming cable not supplied.

Because this system uses a poly carbonate cover over LED strip and no glass, this light fitting qualifies as shatterproof for the purpose of food production.

TRIAC Dimming is compatible with most mains-connected trailing or leading edge dimmers. 1-10V dimming can be used with any 1-10V dimmer or other systems such as DALI. If no dimmer is fitted the LED will display at full brightness.

Push button switching & dimming

The DAP-04-S01DM module can accommodate a single momentary push button to control dimming and mains – side switching functions. Up to 20 light fittings can be controlled with one push button.

DALI control is possible with the addition of a DALI to PWM Converter ‘Mean Well DAP-04-S01DM’.

We can supply a 120 volt version of this fitting for use in the USA and Canada. We will include a UL Listed driver for orders shipping to these countries.

Edmonton launches $5.3-million grant program to support business recovery amid COVID-19 pandemic

Article Sidebar

Article content

Edmonton businesses struggling to stay afloat during the COVID-19 pandemic could receive a grant for up to $25,000 by mid-June as part of the city’s economic recovery program.

The new grant program, approved unanimously by council Wednesday morning, will provide funding to businesses who have been forced to close and require help getting back on their feet as well as those needing to pivot how they operate to follow public health guidelines.

About $5.3 million has been allotted by the city to provide grant relief for struggling businesses, stemming from a reduction in funding to the Edmonton Economic Development Corporation this year and a 10 per cent reduction to the mayor and councillors’ office budgets. Mayor Don Iveson said he is happy the city could reallocate these funds to help local businesses.

“I’m really pleased that council unanimously passed measures brought forward by city administration today to provide real and tangible relief to businesses here in Edmonton and filling some of the gaps that extensive provincial and federal programs have yet to meet,” he said. “I think the most important goal we have is the resumption of employment for people that depend on those businesses and the resumption of business activity on a safe basis.”

Another stream of the grant program will directly support business associations, such as local improvement areas, for economic development work. These associations can receive between $10,000 and $75,000 while individual business amounts will vary from $1,000 to $25,000 based on use of the money.

Council also voted to allow businesses up for licence renewal between June 1 and the end of the year to request a fee reduction of 50 per cent. The annual renewal fees vary, with a typical cost of $244, but stems up to $3,214 in the case of casinos.

About 21,000 of the 36,000 licensed businesses can apply. About 300 of the 15,000 businesses who have already had to renew their licences this year have voiced interest in receiving this relief and will also be eligible. Initial estimates suggest the city will lose $3.1 million in revenues, but have already accounted for a drop of $5.6 million in the approved operating budget.

Edmonton Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Janet Riopel said she welcomes council’s adoption of the program and is eager to see it in effect.

“This program achieves two important objectives. It gives struggling businesses some support they need to reopen their doors and get employees safely back to work and it paves the way for a stronger business landscape and a more competitive future for our city,” she said in a statement to Postmedia.

Council will convene again Monday at a special meeting to discuss accelerating work on LRT projects by using up the balance of grant funding previously committed to the city from senior levels of government.

Spike in COVID-19 tickets

Meanwhile, bylaw officers handed out 41 tickets Monday and Tuesday for COVID-19 offences, most for violating the two-metre physical distancing public health order.

But instead of handing down $1,200 fines under the Public Health Act, city spokeswoman Chrystal Coleman said officers issued a verbal warning and a lesser fine in each of the cases for a concurrent bylaw infraction, such as littering, jaywalking or public liquor consumption. Throughout the pandemic, the city has issued 100 bylaw infractions and eight public health act fines for more severe offences.

In a letter to city staff Monday, interim city manager Adam Laughlin said skateparks and basketball courts were a particular challenge over the weekend for non-compliance and the city issued 91 warnings for improper physical distancing. Even though the amenities were reopened to the public Friday, Laughlin said the physical distancing and mass gathering rules remain in effect and they may be closed again if those rules are not followed.
