Covid-19 UPdates

We want to keep you informed about all that’s going on and a good place to start is by watching the pastoral update video here.  As we have been moving through our Church Without Walls series, we have been reminded that the church is not a building, it’s a body of people. The Church is its truest self when it is on Mission and our Mission has not changed. We exist to empower a movement of people to live and love like Jesus.

These past few months have provided a variety of opportunities for us to live on Mission. Our food delivery team has delivered over 200 boxes weekly to people in our community. We have had the blessing to connect with many of you over the phone, and have been inspired by all of you jumping into action to connect and pray with others. We have been gathering via Online services, home groups and Summer Sunday Nights. God has been moving and some of you are ready to take next steps in your discipleship via Baptism. If you want to learn more about or sign up for Beach Baptisms on August 16th, sign up here

We are incredibly excited to announce that beginning August 16th we will be gathering on Sunday mornings at 10:30am for in-person, outdoor services. We will also be streaming our online services at 10:30am on Sunday mornings, as well. Remember our Mission and values don’t change, though our methods and modes will stay fluid.

INSPIRATION: Beginning August 16th, at 10:30am we will be offering an in-person parking lot full church service. This same service will also be available on our new livestream platform, where you can not only watch the service online, but also interact with pastoral staff and volunteers.  The livestream platform will be front and center at

TRANSFORMATION: Our current Groups page has resources for those small groups who have continued to meet through this time. If you are interested in getting connected with a Group coming into the Fall, or would like to host a Group, email us at

ACTION: Looking forward to our outdoor service launch on Sunday, August 16th, we invite all of you to take action. This could mean signing up for our food distribution program here, leading a home group, or becoming part of our service team as a greeter/usher, tech/creative crew, set-up and tear-down, or kids and students volunteer. If you are interested in serving, let us know here.

We are excited to be back on sunday mornings beginning August 16th.  We encourage you to invite your family, friends and neighbors. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to email us at

Image result for sisters

Hey, gurl, I hope you’re having a great day…

Several days ago, while I was walking to my car, the thought for today’s blog popped into my head.  Why, you might ask?  I feel that sometimes we don’t get the support we should from our “sisters” or “sista friends” for a variety of reasons.

As we know, women have the propensity to be downright catty (this is something that some learned from childhood and weren’t ever able to let it go).  I’ve been around women who weren’t always kind, and I couldn’t figure out why, particularly as I hadn’t done anything (as far as I was aware).  I used to work with a woman who, on a daily basis, would look me up down; she didn’t even try to be discrete about it.  Was I uncomfortable?  You betcha, but I tried not to let it show.  Perhaps, I could have broached the subject with her, but I chose to ignore her negative behavior.  I’ve passed by women who have mugged me for no particular reason, and just recently, I looked up only to discover someone giving me the “stank” eye or more commonly known as the “evil” eye.  I said to myself, “Wow, really?  I thought we were cool.”

Why is it that some women are threatened or jealous of other women?  I’m sure that’s an age old question that, unfortunately, I don’t have an answer to.

Having said this, I’ve met some really wonderful women who have their stuff together. They know who they are and aren’t intimated by any other women no matter what their status in life is.  They understand that there is “enough room at the table for everyone.”  Period!

We, as women, should be able to compliment other women on their beauty (inner and outer), their sense of style, makeup, cooking, thrifty ways, etc., without feeling like that takes away from who we are.  I often joke that Halle Berry doesn’t have anything on me. I’m not crazy.  Trust me, I know that if she and I were beside each other, she would be the one to stand out in the crowd and 99.9% of the attention would be on her (that’s perfectly fine) because she’s a very beautiful woman.  However, what I mean is that I’m confident in who I am.  I don’t need nor I desire to look like or be anyone else besides myself although there was a time in my life that I wanted to be anyone except me.

Don’t make your sister feel unwelcome because you’re insecure.  It’s time to take a long hard look at yourself, and figure out who you are.  Those things that you’d like to change, do so.  You don’t need to ask anyone’s permission to be yourself.  You are unique.  Maybe you haven’t figured it out yet, but you’re wonderful.  Maybe you’re envious of your peers because you’ve been comparing yourself to them and feel as though you don’t measure up.  I want you to stop thinking that right now!  No two people are alike; we may have similarities but we’re our own individuals.  Once you’ve arrived at this point, you’ll be able to love and even embrace your many sisters who are just waiting to welcome you with open arms.

To the Sisterhood…

This is my sister circle:  Top, biological sister; right, best friend for 46 years; bottom, dearest friend for nearly 13 years.  What I love about each of these women is that they add something totally different to my life, and it’s always, always wrapped in love — no matter what!

When you walk, lift your head like the QUEEN you are,
Gurl, don’t you know that you’re a shining star.
We have spent too many years trying to figure out this thing called “life,”
We don’t have time for jealousy, envy, and strife.
When they look you up and down,
Instead of turning your smile into a frown,
Put your head in the air,
As you leave them to wonder and stare.
Each day I’m working on who I aspire to be,
So, gurl you might as well stop wasting your energy hating on me.
Learn to love yourself and the skin you’re in,
Then, perhaps, you’d see that we could all win.

Always remember, #GurlYouGotItGoinOn

Love ya,

P.S.:  I now have a podcast which is featured on Spotify as well as Apple Podcasts which you may find under Grace Deveraux or Chat With Grace.  Also, you may find me on Instagram @Gracedeveraux.  Please stop by and check out what I’ve been up to lately.

Author: Grace Deveraux

I started this site for women, because as a woman, I understand the challenges that we face daily. Some of you are wives, some are significant others, some are mothers and/or grandmothers, running your own business, caretakers, etc. In other words, we have a lot going on. There are those of us who have been deemed "super women" or "super heroes" (boss babes), and we wear our "capes proudly," as we should. However, at the end of the day, we often neglect ourselves, thereby losing sight of the fact that we should practice self-care regularly (and no this is not selfish, but necessary). We have to "learn" to love ourselves enough to "stop," and take/make time to "smell the roses." Life is short...❤

  • Supports the immune system.
  • Protects against free radical damage.
  • Aids in collagen production.
  • Provides 250 mg vitamin C per tablet.

How It Works:

Vitamin C is an antioxidant, and it performs many functions involving the immune system and tissue development. It is involved in iron absorption and in the syntheses of enzymes, hormones and proteins. The adrenal glands need large amounts of this nutrient in order to support immunity and help produce energy. Vitamin C is easily washed from the body and needs to be replaced constantly. Without vitamin C, the body cannot make collagen, the substance that holds the body’s cells together and maintains skin integrity.

250 mg Vitamin C per tablet (415% of the Daily Value), fructose, sorbitol, freeze-dried orange juice, calcium ascorbate, xylitol, rose hips extract, and natural orange, lemon and lime flavors.

Recommended Use:

Adults:Chew 2 tablets with meals twice daily. Children: Chew 1 tablet with meals twice daily.

About Grant

Grant Gillespie’s an actor, novelist, and screenwriter living in the West End of London.

Though he didn’t create this website, he did write the content and, though it’s ‘the form’ to write about oneself in the third person, Grant finds it deeply creepy to do so and can’t sustain it for more than a few paragraphs…

There, that’s over. From now on it’s my own unashamed, love-it or hate-it, authorial voice.

I’m afraid the content will still be a tad dry and listy for the sake of economy and wit, because apparently everyone has a TLDR switch (Too Long Didn’t Read… Yes, some bright spark came up with an acronym for it, because, as well as having the attention span of a drunk fruit fly, writing out words in full takes too long now too, LOL). Anyway, to make a much longer, more rambling story somewhat shorter…

Onscreen, I can tell you, I’ve appeared in numerous film and TV productions, including (see how efficient I’m being here): Kingsman 2, Florence Foster Jenkins, Will, Catastrophe, Siblings, The Crown, George Gently, Victoria and Cast Offs. On-stage, I’ve been lucky enough to work with the celebrated directors Jamie Lloyd, Michael Grandage, Stephen Unwin and Erica Whyman (‘No, they’re the lucky ones!’ I hear nobody cry). I’ve done a stint of MOCAP work at The Imaginarium which was a hoot. (Who doesn’t want to wear a grey leotard and have Velcro balls stuck to them?) and I’ve given life to the voices of both sinister and surprisingly heroic characters in the computer games Bloodborne and Dark Souls.

Aside from treading boards and shouting into the dark, to stay slightly saner, I’ve always written too.

My novel, The Cuckoo Boy, was described as ‘an emotionally visceral debut,’ (Guardian), which is pithy and pleasing. And the Observer said that ‘through James and David, Gillespie explores the chasm between how children and adults perceive the world, and the devastating consequences of falling through this gap. The Cuckoo Boy is a savage indictment of hypocrisy and forced social convention.’

One of my short stories, The Upper Hand, was published by Simon Schuster in the book, He Played For His Wife and Other Stories, and I was excited to be slotted in alongside heavyweights, Poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy and writer DBC Pierre and – what probably excited me most – Jennifer Tilly, who’s not only the hilarious gangster’s moll/aspiring actress in Bullets Over Broadway but the eponymous bride in the Bride of Chucky AND a professional gambler no less. Beat that. I can’t.

I am a regular contributor to podcasts Gothic/creepy drama series, The Other 1%. I’ve penned a theatre/radio play. (Note I haven’t write plays, plural yet. Why lie? There’s currently one based on a brilliant Katherine Mansfield story.)

I do write screenplays (plural), including the pilot, Harvest – co-written with Kate Ashfield – that’s on the slate at Kate Lewis and Julia Walsh’s production company, Neon Ink.

Delirium is a common, costly, life-threatening, and potentially preventable problem for older persons, yet its pathophysiology remains poorly understood. The development of delirium is considered to be a marker of brain vulnerability; however, its relationship to dementia remains unclear. During the first cycle, we successfully completed 4 projects centered around a cohort of >560 older surgical patients (SAGES I), which documented: an accelerated trajectory of long-term cognitive decline following delirium (Project 1); and important risk markers for delirium, related to inflammation (Project 2), structural dysconnectivity (Project 3), and impairment in global cognitive performance (Project 4). These important findings have paved the way for us to move forward to extend our pathophysiologic understanding through innovative probes of brain vulnerability. We now propose a series of 5 interlinked projects applying innovative approaches to deepen our exploration of pathophysiologic pathways potentially contributing to delirium and its associated cognitive decline. We will examine the role of inflammation with state-of-the-art approaches in Project 2; Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers (cerebrospinal fluid, CSF) in Project 1,and neuroimaging markers in Project 3); and measures of brain plasticity/connectivity (transcranial magnetic stimulation and evoked potentials) in Project 5. These approaches were chosen based on their innovation, potential to probe vulnerability, and ability to advance our mechanistic understanding. Project 4 will identify and validate predictors of complicated delirium, i.e., delirium associated with long-term cognitive decline. All of these studies will utilize both the original SAGES I cohort, and a new prospectively enrolled cohort, SAGES II (N=400), which will include CSF sampling obtained prior to spinal anesthesia. All projects will be supported by our effective infrastructure of 3 cores: Administrative (Core A), Field (Core B), and Data Management and Statistical Analysis (Core C). This Program Project renewal proposal brings together an expert, interdisciplinary group in a supportive environment to address a highly clinically relevant area in an integrated and coordinated fashion. The proposal is truly innovative with novel pathophysiologic approaches, extensive cross-linking aims, and multiple methodologic innovations. Furthermore, the large, well-defined cohort created in the first cycle (SAGES I) presents an unprecedented opportunity to explore long-term the relationship of delirium, cognitive decline, and Alzheimer's disease, lending some urgency to this renewal. The highly integrated nature of all the projects could not be achieved without this program project infrastructure, representing a major strength and source of efficiency. This infrastructure provides the capacity to execute five projects and cross-linking aims, expanding the breadth of our pathophysiologic investigation in far-reaching directions. Ultimately, this project holds tremendous potential to advance our understanding of delirium, its attendant complications, and to develop more effective strategies for prevention and treatment.

Public Health Relevance

Delirium is a common and costly problem in older individuals, which can lead to accelerated cognitive decline, disability, death, and increased healthcare costs in excess of $164 billion/year (US). Delirium reflects increased brain vulnerability, but its mechanisms and relationship to dementia or Alzheimer's disease remain unclear; the proposed Program Project renewal will define the inter-relationship of delirium, cognitive decline, and Alzheimer's disease. Through a series of 5 interlinked projects, we will apply innovative approaches to deepen our understanding of pathophysiologic pathways contributing to delirium, and in particular, complicated delirium (i.e., delirium that is associated with long-term cognitive decline). Ultimately, our results will be used to develop more advanced approaches to identify individuals with vulnerable brains; to develop more effective and targeted interventions for prevention and treatment of delirium, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease; and to predict and measure treatment response in future clinical trials.

HOW are, if communication is a battle? By reminding yourself basic fact, of this one. What prosper in a connection and girls will need to feel adored differs from what men need to feel fulfilled. Yes, men have their own desires, wants and needs, but since they have been conditioned since they were young to always put on a brave face, be tough and never let the world find their more vulnerable, personal side, they have a tendency to suppress that Field BC without backpage where to find escorts of those. Rather, men challenge their energy to compete with their peers and come out on top. Men are conditioned to either deny or suppress the side of these. Men always put on a brave front the way a" real person" is supposed to accomplish that we forget they're creatures that have a whole other side to them. When they had been a small boy, qualities such as being fearless challenging, driven by targets and being accountable for the things they did were the qualities which made him appealing.

All those lessons boys were educated about" how to become a man" regrettably don't promote or foster any kind of development or learning, much more so in regards to the way he should be tackling a romantic connection. If he had to behave in the same way, using exactly the same personality traits that made others think he was such a" courageous little boy" for voicing his opinion after he was younger, he'd now suddenly be viewed by women as somebody who's closed- off, uncaring or somebody who is difficult to relate to. Men were conditioned to shut off their feelings and instead, decide to stay activity- oriented, focusing only on what had to be carried out. This gives rise to lots of problems in his romantic and romantic relationships. When a man works and pays little focus on the woman, she, in turn, considers that he does not care for her the way. She feels he has no desire she needs from him and slowly starts to drift apart. It won't be long before the connection begins to crumble. In order to accomplish a person on a deeper level, women and they must connect together in a manner which they can understand.

First Corinthians 6

Don Ruhl • Savage Street, Grants Pass, Oregon • February 13, In the year of our Lord Christ, 2019

  1. 6.1–4 | Brethren Suing Brethren

    1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? 4 If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge?
    1. Note what Paul called the people of the world: the unrighteous.
      1. This is important to remember for what he will say shortly.
      2. Who or what were the people of the Corinthian Church?
    2. Note also that this is the third time Paul expresses shock at their behavior.
      1. What were the first two times?
      2. Do we have to be instructed in every matter to keep us from engaging in questionable behavior?
      3. No, we should have gained a degree of understanding and discernment once we have turned from the world to Christ.
      4. With that change of heart we should know of some things that are unacceptable and others that are.
    3. If the saints will judge the world, does it make sense to ask the world to judge saints?
      1. Which is a greater thing to judge:
        1. The world?
        2. Small matters among us?
      2. If we can judge the world, why can we not judge small matters among us?
    4. What or who else shall we judge?
      1. If we can judge matters of another realm, can we not judge matters in this life?
      2. How can we ask those to judge us who are the least esteemed by the church?
  2. 6.5–6 | Shameful

    5 I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren? 6 But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers!
    1. Why was it that not even one wise man could be found among them?
      1. Perhaps they did not even look.
      2. Paul may not be arguing that none existed, but he shamed them for not even considering their brethren.
    2. He shamed them for two things in verse 6:
      1. Brother going to law against brother
      2. Going before unbelievers
    3. They were not thinking.
      1. They had not put things in perspective.
      2. They had forgotten who they were and from what they had come.
      3. Nor did they consider how this looked to the world.
      4. They showed that the things of this world still held them captive.
  3. 6.7–8 | A Failure

    7 Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. Why do you not rather accept wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be cheated? 8 No, you yourselves do wrong and cheat, and you do these things to your brethren!
    1. Why was going to law against one another showing their utter failure?
    2. What teaching of Jesus should have led them to accept the wrong and to let themselves be cheated?
      1. Matthew 5.38–42
      2. Should not the suffering of Jesus have taught them the same truth?
  4. 6.9–11 | The Unrighteous Will Not Even Inherit the Kingdom

    9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
    1. Here Paul showed why the world was not qualified to judge matters among the saints.
    2. What did he reveal about the unrighteous?
      1. They will not inherit the kingdom of God.
      2. Look at the kinds of lives they live.
      3. What does that tell you about their thinking?
    3. What had the Corinthian Christians done with that former way of life?
      1. They had been washed from it, and they had been sanctified and justified.
      2. Everything about them had changed.
        1. Their thinking had changed.
        2. What they valued had changed.
        3. The point of life had changed.
      3. Why then have people whose thinking does not jive with Scripture judge among Christians?
  5. 6.12–14 | What Is Lawful May Not Always Be Advisable

    12 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 13 Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14 And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power.
    1. Most people see a change of subject here, but I want to show you that Paul was still addressing the problem of them asking unbelievers to judge among them.
      1. Note how Paul wrote when he began a new subject:
        1. 1.10
        2. 5.1
        3. 6.1
        4. 7.1
        5. 8.1
        6. 10.1
        7. 11.2
        8. 12.1
        9. 15.1
        10. 16.1
        11. 16.5
      2. That sort of language does not appear at 6.12.
      3. Can you see how the rest of chapter 6 continues his treatment of how they relate to unbelievers?
    2. It may be lawful to sue a brother who has cheated you, but Paul argues that it is not helpful.
      1. What would it not be helping?
      2. What is that should be our primary concerns?
    3. Usually a lawsuit is about money and material things, and they often show that someone has been brought under the power of money and materialism.
    4. Paul used the human body to illustrate the problem.
      1. Yes, we need food, but food should not run our lives.
      2. Yes, God created us as sexual beings, but that does not endorse sexual immorality.
        1. The body is for what?
        2. What is the Lord for?
          1. Therefore, even as God raised up the Lord, God shall raise up our bodies.
          2. Therefore, do not turn your bodies over to food or sexual immorality.
      3. See your money and material possessions the same way.
        1. Do not make a god out of them.
        2. Otherwise, you will do things like suing a brother when you think he has wronged you.
  6. 6.15–17 | Do Not Join with the World

    15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” 17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.
    1. According to this text, what happens when we cease using our bodies for the Lord and use them for something like sexual immorality?
      1. What happens then when we become covetous or extortioners like the world?
      2. What happens when we use the world to judge our brother?
    2. We can see these things with sexual immorality.
      1. We need to see the same thing with our things.
      2. If we come under the power of money and material things, we joined ourselves to those things.
    3. However, to whom are we supposed to be joined?
      1. When we are joined to the Lord, what are we with Him?
      2. We should not do anything to jeopardize that union with Him.
  7. VII.6.18–20 | Do Not Sin Against Your Body

    18 Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
    1. Because of what Paul had argued, he now tells us to flee sexual immorality.
    2. What did Paul mean that every sin is outside the body, but that sexual immorality is a sin against one’s own body?
      1. We know that other sins can keep us from the kingdom of God (vv. 9–10).
      2. We know that we use our bodies for other sins.
      3. There is something different about joining oneself a harlot.
      4. Compare with what Jesus said in Matthew 12.31–32.
    3. Who inhabits our bodies?
      1. Fornication violates the Holy Spirit’s temple.
      2. Do we belong to ourselves?
        1. Why do we no longer belong to ourselves?
        2. What should we do with our bodies?
    4. Does this shed any light on the problem that the Corinthians were having with one another, as Paul introduced at the beginning of this chapter?

Does anyone know what these charts are called?

enter image description here

edit: I think it's 'radial timeline'

The closest thing I could come up with would be a Timeline chart formatted to a circle.

It's clearly a Timeline chart, but I do not know if there's a specific name beyond that merely because it's formatted to a circle.

  • I googled 'circular timeline' and got some pertinent results. Thanks. – Barbara Sep 25 '14 at 17:33

Children Education Media Racism Religion Sexism War

Are We Great, Yet? (Part Two)

(From Are We Great, Yet? (part one) – Hate is taught. I’m not saying hate hasn’t always been around, but I am saying we teach it to those around us, to our children. Sometimes we don’t mean to. A comment in passing, nothing really meant by it, can take hold in a child.)

In thinking back to childhood, trying to work out how exactly we learn to hate, I started thinking about play and who the “bad guy” was. There was the usual cowboys and Indians which I was kind of an asshole about to my son when he was growing up. To be fair (to me) I must first admit that my mother sometimes listened to country music. You, reader, might remember “Mommas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys. They’ll never stay home, and they’re always alone, even with someone they love. . . Don’t let ’em get guitars and drive in old trucks; let ’em be doctors and lawyers and such.” Bah, okay, I’m admitting that Waylon’s wise words did seep in a teensy bit, but to be perfectly honest, I thought it was high time we add some responsibility to that tired old children’s game. My son knew what “cowboys” and the U.S. military did to natives, and he knew that the invaders/immigrants brought disease and death and stole from the native people of our continent. At least I kept out the rape part. The point is perpetuating that good guy/bad guy and cowboy/Indian thing was, in my opinion, ignorant and not helpful. And not fun. Nobody wants to be the “bad guy.”

There is another strange good guy/bad guy phenomenon that happens with child’s play: the nebulous “bad guy,” our “bad guy” du jour. When I was very young it was the “Russians.” They were actually the U.S.S.R., but for some reason we didn’t call these “bad guys” the “Soviets” or the “communists;” we called them “Russians.” This was during the Cold War, and they were the “bad guys” of the time, but at that time I couldn’t have even begun to tell you why. I understood the basics of the Second World War, but that was from history class (more on that in a bit). The recent war, the one that mattered (as far as I knew as a young person) was the Vietnam War, and we rarely spoke of it. If we did Mom got mad (at the people of Vietnam, or anyway, that was the feeling I got on the subject), and Dad clammed up since he was not at that time allowed to speak about what he did all those years in Vietnam and Japan. All he could tell us was he “fixed radios” since his unit was not declassified until after 2000 though he did have a couple of hilarious stories about goings-on back home especially in relation to how the timing of mail was on his end (messages arrived in the wrong order, for instance, sometimes weeks apart). So, many years into the Cold War our bad guys were “Russians” since they were the ones who were going to nuke us. I know, I know – kids! Wild imaginations when we have so little actual information to go on.

Some of the generation before fought “communists” or “Japanese” or “Germans” as their bad guys du jour. Since then, kids have had many more including “Iraqis.” We’re always at war. Apparently, this somehow makes us a “good guy” for the kids to be and fight the “bad guy.” Even though nobody wants to be the “bad guy.” Right? We don’t want to stop and look at situations from the perspective of the people on the other side of the conflict, the other side of the gun. You know, like the “Indians,” the Native Americans who, it turns out, weren’t bad guys. They were just here first and did things differently than the Europeans did. These days, we accept that whoever the government is currently not getting along with (for whatever reason, economic or otherwise) is the “bad guy,” and we, the Americans, are the “good guy.” Of course, this opinion and perspective changes depending on who wants what and what we’re supposed to believe/support in our government. Because nobody wants to be the “bad guy.”

And then we grow up. We learn that sometimes conflicts and out-and-out war is about money or resources or ego or religion, or a big fat LIE. We send people to kill and be killed for reasons we’re not really clear on in Vietnam or Iraq or wherever. Children back home, being protected as much as possible from the horror that is war, have little nuggets of information, impressions, about what is going on. We assure them as best we can that we (as a country) are doing what we think is right even when we know we’re not doing what is right so they don’t have to feel our guilt. And they go outside to play with their friends with this strange perspective, this incomplete picture. They know what we told them. Nothing more. They only know what we felt they were ready to know so they don’t have to feel what it’s like to really be the “bad guy.” Nobody wants that.

School text books do a terrible job of presenting valuable history to young minds. History is written by the winner, of course, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t lessons to be learned about the hows and whys from the “losers” as well as the “winners.” After all, the “losers” likely also believed they were doing the right thing, and they told their children so. Their children probably ran out and waged war with Americans believing themselves the “good guy.” We aren’t equipping our young people with enough information to use logic and reason to understand how one thing leads to another. For instance, I have to tell people that these recent attacks on the press are scary. I have to tell them why the president saying that the news media are “enemies of the American people” sets off very loud and very serious alarm bells. I have to bring up how Hitler, Chavez, Nixon, etc. rose to power. I have to point out how similar this is to what Putin is doing in his country now with his government channel and his propaganda. I have to point out how and why 45’s clear connection and admiration of Putin and Putin’s tactics set off more very loud and very serious alarm bells. I have to point out why “America First” gives me chills, and not in a good way. (see cartoon above from the UC San Diego Library by Theodor Seuss Geisel aka Dr. Seuss from between 1941 and 1943)

Even when we’re not giving children messages of racism toward individuals, we’re doing them a disservice when we show them a photo of a Japanese person fighting in World War II alongside images of our fellow citizens (who look a lot like that Japanese “enemy”) being removed from their homes, jobs, and friends and herded into internment camps. They didn’t mention those camps ever in history class. That is a serious mistake. Come to think of it, they didn’t mention the Vietnam War in the history textbook either.

When our kids see pictures of religious extremists like those who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks, the extremists are called “terrorists.” Those terrorists look something like the people we are fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan. They don’t know that we’re also fighting alongside people of Iraq and Afghanistan. The child looking on only knows that we’re at war there (or were), and that the enemy has brown skin and is Muslim (even though, obviously, not all Iraqis and Afghans are Muslims (Sunni and Shia) as there are also Christians, Jews, and even Sikhs and Hindus there, too- but are we convincing our kids of this?).

When our kids see pictures of religious extremists like the ones who blow up mosques or Planned Parenthood offices, religious extremists who threaten Jewish community centers or who murder members of a black church, we don’t call them “terrorists” even though that’s what they are. Instead we make excuses for them, and we make them famous. Same goes for young boys shooting up or planning bombings in their schools. We don’t call them “terrorists.” We make excuses for them, and we make them famous. And we talk about how important their Second Amendment rights are, how important it is to everyone because “good guy with a gun” and other such bullshit. Because nobody wants  to look like a bad guy, right?

It’s not just the pictures and stories in media that are sending the messages about who is “bad” and who is not to our kids. Our schools don’t teach history. Those history textbooks mentioned above recite some dates and facts, and they skip the substance. For black history month we read a paragraph on Harriet Tubman and one on George Washington Carver, and we’ve done our duty. It was pretty much the same two paragraphs every year. Look them both up. Those paragraphs don’t do either of them justice. Harriet Tubman was much more than just an escaped slave who helped some other slaves escape to freedom, and George Carver didn’t just “invent peanut butter.” They were so much more. And let’s look at people like Patrick Henry. They went on and on in history class about the “Give me liberty, or give me death!” guy, but they failed to mention some pretty important stuff. For instance, Henry is recorded to have purchased as many has 78 slaves. Give who liberty, jack ass?

Even those of us who are trying very hard NOT to teach hate are missing some hugely important lessons. Why wouldn’t we? Our educations were incomplete; we weren’t given what we needed so it is no surprise we’re failing to give young people what they need. I’m 50 years old. A single parent doesn’t have extra money often so I’ve gone to school on and off my entire life. Why did I just find out this year that women, even black women, worked in engineering, mathematics, and computers at NASA between 1941 and 1969 (and up until now)? Why aren’t we teaching men and women at school that Marie (Sklodowska) Curie, a Polish woman, (among other notable achievements, obviously) earned Nobel Prizes in both Physics and Chemistry? Why don’t we all know that Curie developed the theory of radioactivity, discovered two elements, held important positions at research universities and eventually died from exposure to radiation over the years of work? Why don’t we all know about Eugene Jacques Bullard, pilot during World War I who flew for France but was born in Georgia in the U.S. to a black father and a Creek Indian mother? I loved biology. It would have done me good when I was little to know that maybe I could go into science. It would have done me even more good if the students around me also learned that it’s a perfectly reasonable choice for me, a female, to go into physics. Or for my Japanese friend (her whole family was working on citizenship) to go into engineering. Or for my black friend to go into mathematics or computer programming like the other women at NASA.

Education Secretary, Betsy DeVos, thinks that historically black colleges and universities sprang up because black citizens in America wanted more choices for their education(?!). US Republican Steve King thinks that white men do everything good, that white people contribute all the inventing and creating, and others don’t. This is the stuff we’re teaching our kids so they grow up believing it, just like King. Our ten numerals, the digits? They’re Arabic or Hindu-Arabic. The jet streams were first discovered by a Japanese meteorologist named Wasaburo Oishi. The first polio vaccine was developed by Jonas Salk, an American son of Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants from Poland. Asima Chatterjee (a woman from India) was a chemist who wrote books and who developed anti-epileptic and anti-malarial drugs. Researchers in Cuba have discovered some promising cancer treatments. Bisi Ezerioha (a black man from Nigeria) is an engineer and race car driver who designs car motors.

By not teaching our children that women have fought for and won rights and opportunities (like being able to go to school or own a business) these students are missing a crucial part of how we got where we are and how far we still have to go.

By saying the Civil War was “about slavery” and not tackling the economics and the moral questions, by white-washing ownership of other human beings, we are leaving our kids with a false sense of pride for a time when there was little for an American to be proud of.

By focusing on the achievements of white American men and only mentioning in passing two or three token achievements from one black woman and one black man they are leaving our children with the false idea that black men and women don’t contribute, that people with brown skin don’t invent and create and write and produce stunning works of art.

While we’re at it, why aren’t we showing our children in school, not just at home, that men take care of children just as well as women do? It’s not enough to adjust thinking so that “doctor” or “lawyer” doesn’t automatically mean “male.” It also means showing our kids that mothers and fathers, parents, are hugely important to society. Their life choices aren’t just for jobs but for roles. Limiting their possibilities in any area isn’t fair.

We’re leading our children to believe that white American men do things that matter. By the omission of vital information, our children are left to assume that non-white, non-male people can’t or don’t do the things that white men can. It is up to us as a society and as parents and grandparents to teach our children that they are responsible for their own actions and the consequences of their actions. It’s also up to us to show them, not just tell them, that they really can do whatever they want. Just as important, our young people need to understand that anyone else can also do whatever they choose to, regardless of their gender, skin color, religion, national origin, or sexual orientation.

Sometimes we teach not just with what we say but with what we don’t say. We need to show our kids that you can’t tell the “bad guys” from the “good guys” or the able/not able people with just a photo. If we don’t show them that, we’re leaving our young people open to suggestions about hate and stereotypes that this planet can’t afford now or in the future. Every child needs to know, for sure, that he or anyone else can be the “good guy” if he or she chooses.  Nobody has to be the “bad guy.”

(I’m attaching the link below because it goes with the thread in progress of teaching hate and of hate being so prominent and visible in a way it hasn’t been in my memory. It’s also here because all of this in the essay is in plain sight of children, our future.)

Treatment and use of landscape conservation and maintenance work – innovations and trends at the trade fairs LIGNA and Elmia Wood

Despite low fuel oil and gas prices and more stringent emission requirements, the use of wood as fuel was once again a focus of the world’s largest forestry and timber trade fairs LIGNA and Elmia Wood. The project greenGain was represented at the LIGNA fair which took place from 22 until 26 May 2017 in Hannover with an information stand.

Photo 1: To chop LCMW material, contractors usually use large chippers, which were presented by numerous manufacturers at the Elmia Wood

During both events, the importance that the energetic utilisation of wood has by now was reflected. Using available raw materials efficiently and in an environmentally friendly way has been the guiding theme of the LIGNA in Hanover for several years. This year, the latest trends, developments and solutions for firewood harvesting, treatment and energy use were again presented in the technology line From Tree to Fuel organized by the Chamber of Agriculture Lower Saxony (COALS). The clear focus of the technical developments and procedures is the compliance of the stricter emission limit values of the German Federal Pollution Control Ordinance (1.BImSchV). In addition, possibilities for the treatment of wood chips were presented, which particularly concerns material from landscape conservation and maintenance work (LCMW). Thus, in addition to chippers, screening machines and dryers were shown as well.

Photo 2: Chippers to attach to tractors

Also in Scandinavia, fuel wood is still a major issue as seen on the fair Elmia Wood in Jönköping in Sweden. Here, chippers were presented in practice (Photo 1) in addition to the various and well-known techniques for firewood preparation such as saws, splitters and processors. In Sweden, besides LCMW material, weak wood is collected from the wood harvest and used as fuel. Thus, mostly disc- or drum chippers, ranging from attachments for tractors to trailer superstructures, were shown and presented (Photo 2).

Environmentally friendly firings

The quality of the fuel in addition to boiler and filter technology plays a decisive role in the endeavour to heat in an environmentally friendly manner and to comply with the legal limits. The “Deutsche Pelletinstitut GmbH” (DEPI, German Pellet Institute Ltd.) presented the ENplus quality mark for wood chips in Hanover (photo 3). The aim here is to provide a fuel with homogeneous properties which complies with the strict legal requirements for air pollution control. For that, the wood chips are classified according to size, ash content, water content, calorific value, etc. in three quality classes: A1, A2 and B. Due to a high proportion of bark or fine material, LCMW material is mostly categorised as class B. Through appropriate treatment, especially through sieving, class A2 can also be achieved, whereby a higher price can be obtained. In addition, manufacturers and suppliers can be certified when requirements for quality management and assurance, employee training, complaints management, delivery documentation and dimension-related settlements are demanded and trained. For the customer, this increases the security of obtaining high-quality goods.

Filter systems for wood firings

Schräder, a manufacturer of flue gas cleaning systems, introduced the Filterbox-SZ for larger wood firings, which can be expanded in modular construction (photo 4). An electrostatic filter is combined with a cyclone that draws without blower coarse particles from the flue gases before the e-filter. Each module is designed for a boiler output of 100 kW. At a power of 400 kW, four modules are set side by side. The costs are between 11,000 (100 kW) and 32,500 € (400 kW). The smaller e-filters by the brand Ecotube, for installation in the flue gas stream or as an attachment to the chimney plug for power outputs from 50 to 70 kW, are offered starting at 1,600 €.

Information booth by greenGain at the LIGNA

During the five exhibition days of the LIGNA, COALS informed at a stand about the greenGain project and presented technical innovations in the course of guided tours along the technology line From Tree to Fuel (photo 5 + 6). Two times a day, interested visitors followed the explanations of energy expert Carsten Brüggemann and could ask questions about the topic of energy wood.

2019 in a (very) limited nutshell

I don’t know about you, but 2019 flew by! So, to call back all we’ve been through, we collated some of the most significant events of the year.

America opened the year with the most diverse class of lawmakers in history, making up the 116th congress—with more women and people of colour than ever. The world was also introduced to Marie Kondo on Netflix, paving the way for some wholesome memes. In February, singer R. Kelly was arrested after turning himself in. March saw the Christchurch mosque shootings which claimed the lives of 51 people. In April, the Notre Dame de Paris cathedral was aflame, we got the first ever photo of a black hole and girl-band Blackpink performed at Coachella, making K-pop history.

In May, we  finally discovered who got to sit on The Iron Throne in the Game of Thrones finale. In June, Jay-Z was named the world’s first billionaire rapper by Forbes magazine. July, saw the revolutionary change of Instagram removing the total number of likes in Australia. In August, there was a mass shooting at a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas, prompting Walmart to stop selling handguns and some ammunition, as well as asking customers to not openly carry firearms in September.

In October, Uluru was finally, permanently closed to climbing by the public. November saw the South Africa Springboks defeat the England national rugby union team in the Rugby Union World Cup. And finally, in December, Finland makes headlines by electing Sanna Marin, the youngest prime minister at 34 years old.

And this all happened in 365 days.

What’s going on?

Lately, it seems to take me 0.03 seconds to go from “How is it Monday already” to “TGIF”. My worst fear is that I’ll blink and be 40.

Now don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with being 40. I just want to live a fulfilled and productive life before I get there, and the troubling thing is that it seems like some days I’m just going through the motions. With this mindset, before I know it, the year is almost over! So, let’s change that this year.

I’m sure most of us remember being kids and time seeming to be super sloooowwww. What does this mean? Does time actually move faster the older we get? Well, as it turns out, it’s not all in your head—Science has some theories.

Mind time vs real time

Mind time and real time are two different things. Although, one could spend hours wondering whether time even exists, or if it’s just a social construct designed to make some people’s lives easier. But that’s an issue for another time (see what I did there?).  In any case, what I mean by real time is ‘clock’ time, the chronological passing of hours, days, months and years on clocks and calendars—a steady and measurable phenomenon. But in addition to that, we have our own perception of time. Something that is constantly shifting and changing, depending on our age, how rested we are and what activities we are doing (hence the saying ‘time flies when you’re having fun’).

A 2005 study involved asking people “How fast did the last ten years pass for you?”—something of a relevant question now, considering we just finished the decade. Interestingly, they found that the older you were, the faster time seemed to pass, that is until those being surveyed reached their 50s. After that point (between the 50–90 years of age) the speed of passing time seemed to plateau. But why would  this be? The study authors, Wittman and Lehnhoff, suggested something called time pressure. Between the ages of 16 and 50, we are constantly under pressure to make important, often life-changing decisions. For example, at 17 years old you might have to make a decision on what you want to do after high school, while at 40 you may be worrying about having children.

Many of us also lose time in various ways. Have you ever said ‘one more episode and end up binging the whole season and, before you know it, see the sun rising again? Or maybe you said you would start a particular year-long project and that one year turned into three? Whether you’re not sticking to the plan or you’re just procrastinating, things usually take longer than you expect. This phenomenon is known as Hofstadters Law. When we pass deadlines and finish projects much later than anticipated, we feel like we’ve lost time, contributing to the sense that time is speeding up.

Another theory, is that there is a change in our internal body clocks and the slowing down of our metabolism as we age, matching the slowing of our heartbeat and breathing. Children tend to have biological pacemakers that beat more quickly in a fixed period of time.

A study published last year in the journal European Review, found that the thing making time appear to speed up is also responsible for the detailed memories many people have from their childhood. This is due to the reduced speed at which images are processed by your brain as you age. But ok, how does slower image processing make time go faster? It seems that as you age, you process information in real time as opposed to the lightning speed of when you were younger, and iit is exactly that which makes time appear to speed up.

Another theory follows the fact that as a child, everything is new, and each age brings many “firsts”, making your brain constantly process and store these experiences in its memory bank at a rapid pace. Whether its learning to play, attending the first day of school, making your first friend, learning to read, or learning drive, new experiences all seem to make time slow down. As adults, our lives become stuck in routine and we become familiar with our surroundings, so we typically experience fewer ‘new’ moments and have less need of this ‘rapid pace memory creation’.

The question now is, how can we slow down mind time? It seems we can do this only by keeping our brains active, learning new things and having new experiences at every age—making time appear to slow down.

There are 365 days in a year and no matter how fast or slow you think time is moving, it is merely your own perception. In fact, it’s actually super cool that we have the ability to create our own reality by feeding our brain new information and experiences. You have 365 new opportunities ahead of you, and a whole decade to explore, so, learn that new language, travel to that new country, go sky diving, meet new people, put yourself out there. Consider this the sign you never knew you needed!

Top 5 Tips for Having a Comfortable Flight

by in Home.

Photo credit: jjay69 via photopin cc

Nowadays air travel is not as comfortable and luxurious as it used to be. The seats are getting smaller, legroom shorter and airline carriers charge additional fees for virtually everything, from luggage to snacks. However, this does not mean we should stop flying, as air travel still offers numerous advantages.

Here are a few simple tips and tricks that will help improve your flying experience:

1) Take a sleep Kit

Having a sleep kit is especially beneficial during long haul flights. However, you will not regret having one, even if your flight lasts less than 2 hours. A basic travel kit should include a U-shaped pillow and an eye mask. Just these two items will make your flight more comfortable. If you do not want to be disturbed by the noise you should take noise-cancelling headphones or earplugs. A large shawl or a small blanked will come in handy during a long-haul flight. Save some money on your sleeping kit with an amazon promo code.

2) Keep your hand-luggage light and small

Some airline companies charge for checked luggage regardless of its weight. Thus, to cut down travel costs, many passengers cram clothes into a small hand-luggage. Though such bag looks small it is usually very heavy. When packing things do not take too much and put things into a small and lightweight suitcase. Having a smaller bag that your can easily lift, carry and hide under the front seat in the plane, is usually more comfortable than carrying a fully crammed bag. Besides, you might be not allowed to take too much stuff into the cabin, as some airline companies have very strict rules as to the amount of hand luggage allowed to be taken on board.

3) Check recent regulations before packing

Before packing, find out what amount of liquid is allowed to take on board. Different companies have different regulations, which may change from time to time, so if you do not want to be left without your favourite shampoo, check the information about carry-on liquids. Its is better to learn all the rules in advance.

4) Use in-flight Wi-Fi

Business travellers can take advantage of the in-flight Wi-Fi. This services is not free, but when time is money, paying 12$ for a flight is not that much. Frequently flying passengers buying a monthly pass are offered discounts.

5) Drink water

The air in the cabin is very dry, so it is recommended drinking much water during the flight. This will help prevent parched feeling and also overdrying of lips, nasal, cavity and skin.

Finally, opt for business or first class flights, as they have tons of advantages over economy class flight. will help you find the best deals on first and busness class flights</a>, so that you could enjoy your flight without paying a fortune.
