Carboxylic acids are resonance hybrid of the following structures.
It is clear that the carbonyl part of the carboxyl group does not have a double bond character but a reduced double bond character. Thus it does not give the reactions of the carbonyl group. The carbonyl carbon in carboxyl group is less electrophilic than the carbonyl carbon in aldehydes and ketones due to resonance. Therefore many nucleophilic addition reactions of aldehydes and ketones do not take place with carboxylic acids. The same effect makes the hydroxyl group of carboxylic acids more acidic than the hydroxyl group of alcohols and phenols justifying why they are called acids.
The aqueous solution, carboxylic acids dissociate as follows:
Since they liberate hydrogen ions in solution, they are acidic. However they are weaker than mineral acids, but stronger acids than alcohols and phenols.Carboxylic compounds are amongst the most acidic organic compounds we have studied this far. This can be explained as follows:
Carboxylic acids as well as carboxylate ion both are stabilized by resonance. However, carboxylate ion is more stabilized by resonance because its contributing structures are exactly identical. The contributing structures of carboxylic acid involve charge separation.
Since carboxylate ion is more stabilized by resonance than carboxylic acid therefore equilibrium in above reaction lies very much in forward direction i.e., in favor of ionized form. Hence carboxylic acid behave as strong acids.Carboxylic acids are stronger acids than phenols. It can be understood by comparing the hybrid structures of carboxylate ion and phenoxide ions. In carboxylate ion, the negative charge is equally distributed over two electronegative atoms (oxygen atoms) while in phenoxide ion, it is present only on one oxygen. Thus, carboxylate ion is more stabilized as compared to phenoxide ion. Hence, carboxylic acids ionize to the greater extent than phenols furnishing higher concentration of H+ ions. Therefore carboxylic acids behave as stronger acids than phenols.
Accordingly, carboxylic acids evolve hydrogen with electropositive metals as alcohols do.
Carboxylic acids form salts and water with alkalis similar to phenols.
Carboxylic acids react with weaker bases such as carbonates and bicarbonates to evolve CO2.
Thus carboxylic acids give brisk effervescence with aqueous NaHCO3 solution. This reaction can be used to detect the presence of carboxyl group in a compound. Also this reaction is used to differentiate between carboxylic acids and phenols which do not give effervescence with aqueous solution of NaHCO3.
Effect of substituents on the acidity of carboxylic acids
The factors, which increase the stability of carboxylate ion more than the carboxylic acids, increase the acidic strength of acid and the factors that decrease the stability of carboxylate ion decrease the acid strength.Electron withdrawing groups such as halo group, -NO2, -CN etc increase the acidity of carboxylic acids. These electron withdrawing groups stabilize the carboxylate anion by dispersal of the negative charge and increase the strength of the acid.
Electron releasing groups like alkyl groups cause concentration of negative charge, destebalize the carboxylate anion and decrease the strength of the acid.
The more powerful and the more the number of such substituents and the closer they are to the carboxyl group, the greater is the inductive effect.
The FCH2COOH > ClCH2COOH > Br CH2COOH > ICH2COOH > CH2COOH.The electronegativity and thus the electron withdrawing power of the halogen substituent and thus the strength of the acid decreases in the given order.
CH3CCOOH > Cl2CHCOOH > ClCH2COOH > CH3COOHThe number of electron withdrawing chloro group and thus the acid strength decreases in this order.
CH3CH2CH(Cl)COOH > CH3CHCl CH2 COOH > ClCH2CH2CH2COOH > CH3CH2CH2 COOHThe inductive effect decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the carboxylic group and so does the acid strength.

""The abbreviated KC" is a 23-minute EP which primarily contains songs which already have appeared on KC's 1969 debut "In the court of the CK", on their 1981 comeback album "Discipline", and on 1982's "Beat", so it's far from being a comprehensive collection due to the lack of other classic tracks like "Red", "Easy money", or "Sleepless". Even when you purchase this album together with other KC compilations, for example, "The concise KC" or "The compact KC", it never gives you a sense of what made KC important, nor does it offer a reasonable introduction to neophyte fans. Apart from "The KC barber shop" and "Medley", which can't be found elsewhere, the faithful fan will already own the original versions of the songs here, so there's really no point in shelling out the cash for abridged versions of "21th century.." (4 3/4 instead of 7 1/2 minutes) or "In the court..". KC might have had a few songs which came close to being hit singles, particularly from their '80s output, but the true range of KC's music is only evident on their original albums. Nevertheless, I'll certainly tell you something about this strange compilation. The disc starts with the most interesting cut here, the gospel-tinged "The KC barber shop", a 1 1/2-minute vocal-only track with none other than Tony Levin singing. It's utterly unlike anything in the KC discography and reminds me of the Comedian Harmonists's work. Next, we have "21th century..", one of KC's rocky and aggressive songs, and the title track from their eponymous debut album. The quirky, neurotic "Elephant talk" and the atmospheric "Matte Kudasei" are taken from "Discipline", coming up with a more pop-inclined sound that manages to incorporate elements of Talking Heads, world music, and wave pop. "Heartbeat", KC's obvious stab at a melodic pop single, had the potential for massive radio airplay, but it didn't climb very high into the charts. The 1 1/2-minute "Medley" is a somewhat dodgy combination of all the aforementioned tracks, assembled by Fripp's studio engineer David Singleton. Perhaps completists will find this disc worth purchasing, yet it's pretty bad value for money- 3 minutes of new material and a lot of previously released songs.... For best results: Stick with the original albums and listen to "The KC barber shop" via the 30-second audio clip.

Mt.19.5 Gn.2.24
RSV Books
Matthew: 19
and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?
So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder."
They said to him, "Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?"
He said to them, "For your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.
And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for unchastity [Other ancient authorities, after unchastity, read: makes her commit adultery], and marries another, commits adultery. [Other ancient authorities insert: and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery]"
The disciples said to him, "If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry."
But he said to them, "Not all men can receive [this] saying, but only those to whom it is given.
For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to receive this, let him receive it."
Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people;
but Jesus said, "Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven."
And he laid his hands on them and went away.
And behold, one came up to him, saying, "Teacher, what good deed must I do, to have eternal life?"
And he said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? One there is who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments."
He said to him, "Which?" And Jesus said, "You shall not kill, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness,
Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
The young man said to him, "All these I have observed; what do I still lack?"
Jesus said to him, "If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."
When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.
And Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly, I say to you, it will be hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

A Multicenter, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Ascending-Dose, Repeat-Dose Safety and Pharmacokinetic Investigation of a Delayed-Release, Enteric-Coated Capsule Formulation of AVX 470 [Anti-TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor) Globulin (Bovine)] in Patients With Active Ulcerative Colitis
There is a significant unmet medical need for effective oral pharmacologic therapies for
inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis. Current anti-TNF therapies,
including infliximab and adalimumab, are effective treatments for these conditions, but they
must be administered by intravenous or subcutaneous injection. The major safety concerns
associated with the use of injectable anti-TNF therapies are infection, demyelinating
disease, and lymphoma, all of which are the result of systemic exposure. These uncommon but
serious side effects have limited the use of systemic anti-TNF antibody therapy to patients
with severe disease that have failed to respond to first-line treatments.
AVX-470 is purified immunoglobulin (Ig) from the colostrum (early milk) of cows immunized
with recombinant human tumor necrosis factor (rhTNF). AVX-470 is formulated in
delayed-release enteric-coated capsules designed to protect the capsule contents from
gastric acids following oral administration and to provide localized delivery to sites of
inflammation in the distal intestine. Prior clinical experience with bovine Ig therapies in
other human diseases suggests that AVX-470 will not be absorbed to any significant extent,
meaning that systemic exposure could be minimized. The development of oral anti-TNF therapy
targeting local intestinal disease activity might reduce the risks associated with
injectable anti-TNF therapy and allow the convenience of oral dosing.
The present study is a first-in-human, Phase 1 clinical study. It is primarily intended to
evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of AVX-470 administered orally to
patients with active ulcerative colitis.
Animal models of ulcerative colitis using a mouse-specific TNF antibody derived from bovine
colostrum demonstrated a 50% or more reduction in tissue TNF, TNF-messenger ribonucleic acid
(mRNA), interleukin (IL)-6 mRNA, and myeloperoxidase and lowering of colonic inflammatory
activity. Twenty-eight-day toxicology studies demonstrated no clinical or histologic
findings in exposures above the intended clinical dose range.
Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Treatment
Safety and tolerability of AVX-470 over 28 days of treatment
Assessments weekly during treatment and 1 week post treatment
5 weeks

I Cor 15 Chuck Smith
So Paul exhorts,
"1: Follow after love, and desire spirituals, but rather that ye may prophesy."
Now we were told to covet earnestly the best gifts. Now again he is saying the same thing, desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
"2: For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaks not unto men, but unto God: for no man understands him; howbeit in the spirit he is speaking mysteries." (or divine secrets)
So an interesting verse here. If you're speaking in an unknown tongue, you are speaking to God. In other words, it is a gift whereby a man might be assisted in his worship of God, or in his communicating with God. For by communicating in tongues, because you do not understand it, you are bypassing the narrow channel of your intellect.
Have you ever come to a place where your feelings are greater than your capacity to express them? I often do, especially when I am in the realm of spiritual things. I'm in the realm of God's goodness and God's blessing, or the greatness of God, the character of God. And as I begin to ponder on these things of God, the greatness of His love, His power, His glory. When I begin to think of all He's done for me, as nothing as I am, I suddenly come to the place where, to express to God my thanksgiving and gratitude, language is a barrier. It doesn't really express what I feel. It's inadequate. Because I have to express it through language and my vocabulary or whatever is just restricted, and to bring it through the narrow channel of my intellect is sort of like a funnel and it just sort of backs up because of the broad base of the spirit now channeling through the narrow funnel, the intellect, it just -- it's so cut down, it's so restricted.
So God has given to us a gift whereby we can bypass the narrow channel of the intellect and we can enter into a full worship of Him. My spirit, now united with His spirit, and a full unrestricted flow of my love, of my appreciation, of my expression to Him of His greatness and of His glory, as I praise and glorify the God that I worship and serve. And it's rather nice to be able to bypass the narrow channel of the intellect in the worship.
Savern Arollis said, "when prayer reaches its ultimate, words are impossible." There aren't words to express the things of the spirit. That vocabulary has not yet been developed. And so, the Lord helps me in my expression of these divine secrets -- the worship, the praise of my spirit unto Him through the gift of tongues. And it assists me in my worship and in my praise, for if I speak in tongues, I'm actually speaking to God, though I don't understand it, the things of the spirit as he assists me in praising and worshiping the Father, and glorifying Jesus Christ.
Another capacity is that of offering to God prayer according to His will. For the spirit also helps our infirmities. Romans Chapter 8, "For we don't always know how to pray as we should, but the spirit will make intercession through groanings which cannot be uttered." So the spirit helping us in our prayer life, either with groanings which cannot be uttered, or with words that are uttered, inspired by the spirit, expressing prayer to God according to the will of God in the particular situation over which I am interceding. So a gift whereby I am built up, I am benefited, I am blessed. But if I'm desiring gifts, it would be better that I desired the gift of prophesy than the gift of tongues. Desire spiritual gifts, but rather than ye may prophesy. For the gift of tongues is only for my own personal benefit, as I express to God my worship and praise with the help of the spirit.
"3: But he that prophesies speaks unto men for edification, and exhortation, and comfort."
So, the gift of prophesy has much broader benefits. The area of the New Testament prophet was not so much foretelling as it was forth telling -- speaking forth God's truth to the people. And as we speak forth God's truth to the people, they're built up in their faith. They're built up in their relationship with Jesus Christ. They're built up in their fellowship with the Lord. As we speak forth God's truth, they're exhorted in their walk with the Lord, in their commitment to Jesus Christ, in their abandonment of the flesh to live and to walk after the spirit. And they're exhorted to trust the Lord, to commit to the Lord, to believe in the Lord, and they are comforted as we speak forth God's word, as they realize it's all in God's hands and God will take care of it, and God is going to work, and as I just patiently wait I shall see the work of God and glorify and praise His name, and I'm comforted by the word of God. So the gift of prophesy has a broad value as the church is benefited by its exercise -- benefited because it is built up, it is exhorted, it is comforted, it is encouraged (which is of course exhortation.)
"4: He that speaks in an unknown tongue is built up himself..."
It builds you up. It is a blessed experience, one that does build you up.
"...But he that prophesies builds up the church."
"5: I would that you all spoke with tongues. I would that you all had this blessing in your own personal devotional life. But I would rather that you had the gift of prophesy, for greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues, except he interpret that the church may receive the edifying" (or the building up).
Now, here is where people often make a mistake, in that they believe that tongues with interpretation becomes equivalent to prophesy. Not so. But it is a common mistake among the Pentecostal churches, believing that tongues with interpretation becomes the equivalent to prophesy. Tongues, as far as I can understand from the scriptures, are always, as Paul declared here in verse 2, addressed to God. You remember as you go back in your mind now to the 2nd Chapter of Acts, and these men had gathered together there in Jerusalem because of the phenomena, and these men and women were speaking in these other tongues, they marveled that they heard them all in their own language as they were doing what? As they were glorifying and praising God. Their tongues were addressed to God. They weren't addressed to the people. They weren't being preached to in tongues, in their own languages being preached to. But actually, they heard them glorifying God, praising God.
Paul the apostle, in a few moments here, is going to show us that we should not speak in tongues in a public assembly unless there is someone there who can interpret in order that the whole church might be edified. For if you speak in tongues without interpretation, how is the person who is sitting over here in the seat of the unlearned, going to say yay, oh yes, amen, and your giving of thanks, seeing he doesn't understand what you're saying. What is he saying yes to -- amen to? Your giving of thanks, your addressing of your thanks to God. And then Paul went on to say, "indeed you do praise God well" -- or it's a good way to praise God. But, not without the interpretation, because others aren't edified then.
So the interpretation, because it does bring to the people the understanding of your worship and praise to God, then does edify them. As you by the spirit are declaring the glory, the power, the greatness of God, when they can understand your words of praise and adulation in glorifying God, they are edified by your praises.
Now, if you have been in Pentecostal services or circles, I'm sure that as you saw the particular phenomena of tongues, that as you recall those instances you see that there is an inconsistency here. For in the observation over the years of Pentecostal services, where there were the public entrances in tongues, they called them "messages in tongues." And the interpretation so often was after this manner -- my little children, harken unto me for I would call unto you today to praise me. My little children, harken unto my voice. And so often, the interpretation -- or I would say at this point, the "supposed" interpretation, is addressed to the people as God would be speaking to them, it would appear in the first person. For I the Lord declare unto thee that today I'm going to bless you and all. And it comes out as a message from God to man. And I have observed this over and over and over again in Pentecostal type services.
Does that mean that the tongues are not genuine? No. It means that the interpretation wasn't genuine.
And what I feel often times happens in these meetings where you have this kind of a happening, is that you do have the gift of tongues exercised, followed by a gift of prophesy exercise and not the interpretation of the tongues. And I think that this is a common error in Pentecostal churches today, and you find it almost universally within them. Tongues followed by prophesy, rather than by a true interpretation of what was uttered in the unknown tongue.
So, tongues with interpretation is not an equivalent or equal to prophesy or the same thing as prophesy. For prophesy is when God speaks to the church to edify, to exhort, to comfort, where tongues is addressed to God, the divine mysteries, the secrets, the beauty, the glory, as my spirit worships Him.
"6: Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?"
In other words, when I come to you tonight to speak to you, I come speaking to you by revelation, by the word of knowledge, by the gift of prophesy, and by doctrine. If I stood up here the whole evening speaking in an unknown tongue, it would be a wasted evening for all of you. But by speaking to you by revelation and prophesy and word of knowledge and doctrine, you are all blessed and benefited as we take the word of God, and as we learn by it, and as we grow by it in our relationship and walk with God. The speaking in tongues would only be meaningless sounds, and meaningless sounds -- you don't know what to do with them.
And so Paul said,
"7: There are things that don't have life that give out sounds..."
Now, if I would go over and play the piano for you tonight, it would be meaningless to you. It would be meaningless sounds. But if a gifted, accomplished pianist played, it could bless you. And so there are things like pipes, like harps, that give out sounds. But unless the person is really skilled, you know, if you just get a guitar and just hit the strings and let your fingers go wherever, you know, you don't hear any melody, you don't hear anything. It's just a jangle of noise. So tongues can be just a jangle of noise unless there is an interpretation of them.
How do you know what song a person is playing, you see. It would be just making the noise on the instrument. You don't know what's being played.
"8: For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?"
Now of course in those days, and even to the present day, they have certain bugle calls whereby they call people to wake up in the morning. They call people to come to breakfast. They call people to come for mail. They call people to assemble together. They call people to charge. They call people to retreat. And each one of these bugle sounds, or bugle calls, has a message. Da, da, da, da, da, da. You know, charge! And it has a message. We understand the message. But if a guy just gets up there and starts blaring on the bugle, what are we supposed to do? Retreat, charge or go to breakfast? You know. It's an uncertain sound. He's just making a noise and you don't know how to respond to it.
So tongues can be meaningless -- you don't know how to respond to it. You don't know how to react to it.
"9: So likewise, unless you utter by your tongue, words that are easy to be understood, how are people going to know what you say?"
So, just to get up and speak in tongues to people is worthless. It doesn't prepare them for anything. They don't know how to respond to it unless you speak in words they can understand, bringing the simple truth. Otherwise,
"...it's just like speaking into the air."
"10: There are, it may be so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them without significance."
It may be that you're saying something extremely significant, but who knows? You may be saying something rather dumb.
"11: Therefore, if I don't know the meaning of the voice..."
Coming into foreign languages sometimes is a very interesting experience because you may do something that's dumb in their culture and they start screaming at you and yelling at you in their language. And often times I'm glad I don't understand it. I don't know how to respond, but I'm glad I don't understand what they're saying.
"11: Therefore, if I don't know the meaning of the voice, I am like a foreigner to the one who is speaking. 12: Even so you, forasmuch as you are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek for those gifts that you might excel in those gifts that will edify the whole church. 13: Therefore let him that speaks in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret."
Have the gift of interpretation so that should he exercise that gift of tongues in the church, he would also be able to edify the whole church by bringing an interpretation.
"14: For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful." I don't understand what I'm saying.
"15: What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also."
Paul is just declaring, there are times in my devotions that I'll pray in tongues. There are times in my devotions that I'll pray in Greek or in Hebrew, the language I know. There are times when I'll sing in tongues. There are times when I'll sing in the language that I know.
"16: Else when you shall bless with the spirit" (that is, in tongues) "how shall he that is occupying the room of the unlearned say Amen at your giving of thanks, if he doesn't understand what you are saying? 17: For you indeed are giving thanks well, but the rest of them are not edified."
And now Paul inserts this, lest you get the wrong impression of what he's trying to say,
"18: I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than all of you."
Now Paul has told us already that he doesn't do it in church. He would rather in church,
"19: ...speak five words in a known tongue than ten thousand in an unknown."
Therefore, if he speaks in tongues more than all of them, it is obvious that he does so in his own personal, private devotions in his closet. And I do believe that if a person has the gift of tongues, that the proper place to exercise that gift is in their own personal, private devotions, as by the spirit they worship God with the assistance of the spirit, declaring to God their love, His glory, His goodness, His power, His greatness.
So, I thank God I speak in tongues more than all of you, yet in church I'd rather speak just five words that people can understand, that I might be able to teach them, than ten thousand words that they don't understand.
"20: Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be children, but not in understanding, be men."
So, we should seek to understand things, not to be as children. Only as far as malice we should be as children, as far as the malice is concerned, but in understanding, seek to really understand, seek to really know.
"21: In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord."
Now in Deuteronomy, the 28th Chapter, in the law, Moses was warning the people of Israel at the end of his ministry, how that because of their turning their backs on God their enemies were going to come in and overthrow them, and they would be hearing in their own streets other languages being spoken -- as God's judgment was upon them for their turning their backs on Him. And so, the hearing of these other tongues was really a sign of the judgment of God because they had turned their backs upon God.
Paul, it seems, was referring to Deuteronomy, the 28th Chapter, because he said, "in the law it is written," but also in Isaiah, in the prophet it is also written in the 28th Chapter, that "with stammering lips and other tongues will I speak to this people. But for all of this they will not hear." Now this is in the context where they were making fun of Isaiah's ministry. They said, who is he going to teach? He ought to go back and teach kindergarten, for he is so simple and basic. His teaching is line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little, there a little. And they were making fun of his teaching methods. And then he said, "but with stammering lips and other tongues will I speak unto this people. And this is the rest wherebyeth he will cause the weary to rest. Yet, for all of this they will not hear."
So Paul is evidentially putting together both of these passages of scriptures with men of other tongues will God speak. As they hear these foreign languages of these soldiers from the alien armies, as they have been captured -- Deuteronomy 28.
"And yet for all of that they will not hear me saith the Lord."
Taking Isaiah's -- in other words, even with this judgment -- and of course going back to Deuteronomy, the judgment did not turn the people to God.
"22: Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe."
So, the tongues, an interesting passage, are a sign for those that believe not. Now herein is a very difficult passage of scripture, because it would appear at the very next verse completely contradicts this. We do find on the day of Pentecost that tongues did serve as a sign for those that believed not. For on the day of Pentecost, when these devout Jews were drawn by the phenomena, they heard them speaking in the various languages though they were all of them from Galilee region, languages from all over the world -- using these languages to praise God and to glorify the Lord. And as Peter then explained to them the phenomena that they were observing, giving them the scriptural basis, when Peter was finished with his message and the holy spirit had convicted their hearts, they said, "what shall we do since we've crucified the Lord of glory?" And Peter said, "repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the holy spirit, for the promises to you and your children, those that are far off." And approximately two thousand of them believed and were added to the body of Christ that day, the birth of the church.
Now, they were drawn by the phenomena, they were convinced by the phenomena of speaking in tongues, and it was a sign there to the unbelievers and they were converted to Jesus Christ as the result of the phenomena that they observed.
Whereas prophesy is more directed to those that believe, to encourage, to strengthen, to comfort, to edify. Now in the next verse, it seems that Paul totally reverses his position.
"23: If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say you're crazy?"
Now, is Paul totally reversing his position? No. He's giving here a hypothetical case. Probably was happening in Corinth. When the church would gather together, they'd all stand up and just start speaking in tongues. Now if I went to a church and everybody in the church got up and started speaking in tongues, I'd say hey, they're crazy. Don't understand what's going on -- if I were an unbeliever.
If there is to be tongues in the church, they are to be governed by the rules that Paul set forth here. Verse 27:
"27: If a man speaks in an unknown tongue, let it be two or at the most three, and that in turn, and let one interpret."
Now, if the whole church is gathered together and there are unbelievers present, the exercise of the gift of tongues by the whole church would draw the conclusion that they're crazy. It would not be a sign to the unbeliever at all, except a sign that you're all crazy. However, if there is to be the exercise of tongues, definitely it would appear that Paul is discouraging it in the church. I personally -- Paul says, wouldn't do it in church. I do it in my own devotions. If it is done in church, then definitely it is and should be limited. Two or three at the most, that in turn, and one person should interpret.
Now, further restrictions,
"28: If there is no one there with the gift of interpretation, then keep silent, and speak unto yourself and to God."
I totally discount the person who gets up and speaks in tongues and says, God made me do it, I couldn't help myself. Paul here does declare that you do have control over it, and that if there is no interpreter and you feel this urge and this anointing, just speak to yourself and speak to God. It could be as God's word is going forth, the spirit of God is touching your heart and you're blessed. And many people only know how to respond to God's touch upon their heart by speaking in tongues. And if that be the case, and you're being blessed and you just want to just praise God for what you're gaining and learning, then just do it to yourself and to God.
There are times when the church gathers together -- not the whole body, but in parts -- little prayer groups, little prayer cells. Then I think that there are other rules that apply. And I think that there can be a greater freedom in the use of tongues in those smaller groups. But when the whole church is gathered together, unbelievers present, then there are definite rules that apply.
Now here at Calvary Chapel, because of the size, when the whole church is gathered together, for a person to get up and speak in tongues would be confusing. And therefore, we do not allow it in our public services, to save confusion.
Number one, we don't know all of the people who might want to stand up. The other Sunday night, we had some real winners over here. I was expecting one of them to get up and speak in tongues really. Unfortunately, they spoke language that we did understand -- which wasn't edifying.
But, there are people who have psychological problems who are drawn to Pentecostal type services, and they use the freedom of the platform within the Pentecostal services to satisfy a psychological need in their own lives. And inasmuch as we exercise the gift of prophesy and word of knowledge and word of wisdom as we are teaching the word, it would not be consistent for the holy spirit to interrupt himself with utterances in tongues with interpretations. As I say, we do have the prayer groups, the cell groups and all, where there is a freer exercise of this particular gift with interpretation. And it is valuable, and we don't invalidate it. We recognize it as a valid work and gift of God, but not in the whole assembly of the church, when the whole church is gathered together and unbelievers present. Then we put the brakes on it.
"24: But if all are prophesying and there comes in one that does not believe or is unlearned, he is convinced of all and judged of all."
Now he said though that prophesy was not for them that believe not but for them which believe. But I have found something that is very interesting. As we are teaching the word of God, using the gift of prophesy, quite often when unbelievers come in, though prophesy is for the body and I'm exhorting or comforting or edifying the body, and unbelievers come in, though the gift is directed to the body, yet so many times things are said that cut their own hearts. As I start speaking on a particular issue, start creating examples, we've had people bring their friends to church who became extremely angered with their friends because they figured it was a set-up. They thought that their friends had told me all about them before they got here -- and were so upset that they would be set-up like that, and they were sure that, you know, I had received the full report on them, because as we started to talk, the spirit of God began to nail the issues in their lives.
And of course, many times a person in hearing things like this, is convicted by the spirit and he realizes hey, God is real. The things of God are real. Even though the gift is being exercised towards the church, there are those who in hearing the teaching of the word, are convinced in their own hearts of the reality and the truth of God.
So prophesy serves a wonderful place within the church -- to edify, to exhort, to comfort. And unbelievers hearing it -- they won't go away and say you're crazy, they go away saying hey, there's something there that's real.
"25: For thus are the secrets of their heart made manifest and falling down on their faces they will worship God and report that God is there in truth. 26: How is it then, brethren? when you come together, everyone of you has a psalm, has a doctrine, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation."
Now, here is where they made a mistake in punctuation. I the Greek there is no punctuation. This was done by the translators. And herein I believe they made a mistake in punctuation in putting the question mark after the word "brethren." The question mark should be after the word "interpretation." So the question is, "how is it then brethren when you come together everyone of you has a psalm, has a doctrine, has a revelation, has an interpretation?" In other words, your services are wild -- everybody wants to get into the act. Every one of you have a psalm, an interpretation.
Now because of the mistake in the punctuation, there are some people who say that when the church comes together, this is the order for the church. When you come you should have a psalm, you should have a song, you should have a prophesy, you should have an interpretation, you know. It should be free-wheeling -- everybody should get up and do their thing.
And that this is the order -- it's like, when Chuck Jr. was growing up and had misbehaved, and I took him in to spank him, and I was wanting to explain to him why it was necessary that I spank him for this infraction of the rule, I said, "you know Chuck, the bible says to spare the rod and spoil the child." He says, "yeah! and why don't you?" I said, "oh no. It means that if I spare the rod, I'll spoil you. But he had interpreted that as a command. Spare the rod and spoil the child! You ought to spoil me dad!
And people have misinterpreted this in the same way, taking it as a command. It's not a command. It's a rebuke for the disorderly services that they were having in Corinth. And that is why he gives the first rule, when you're gathered together, let all things be done unto edifying. Everything that is done, let it be for the building up of the whole body of Christ. Let it have that benefit of building up the body -- first rule.
If they speak in an unknown tongue, as we've already covered, two, at the most three, on interpret. If there's no interpreter then let them keep silence in the church and let them speak to themselves and to God.
"29: Those that prophesy, again two or three, and let the others judge."
If a person gets up and says "thus saith the Lord," don't just buy it -- judge it. Is it really the Lord speaking? "Thus saith the Lord, go out and sell everything, there's going to be a crash, get rid of all of your stock." Is it really the Lord speaking you see? Judge it! A lot of people have gotten in trouble because they didn't judge supposed prophesies, and a lot of weird things have been done. So let there be two or three, let the others judge.
"30: And if someone is prophesying and something is revealed to someone sitting by, then let the first hold his peace."
Let the other one have a chance to share what's on his heart.
"31: For you may all prophesy one at a time that you all may learn and all be comforted."
So the purpose of prophesy was for comfort and learning.
"32: And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets."
In other words, the holy spirit will not make you do something inordinately. The holy spirit isn't gonna just take and set you on your feet and set you to shouting in the middle of a service. The spirit of the prophet is subject unto the prophet. You have the control over the gifts and use of the gifts of the spirit in your life. The spirit doesn't take you out of yourself.
Second rule,
"33: God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all of the churches of the saints."
So, those things that are done should not be or bring confusion. And if the result is confusion, then it was not of God. As those three ladies went parading out the other night shouting their judgments upon the house of God, it was confusing. It was not of God. God is not the author of confusion, but of peace.
Now Paul said,
"34: Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law."
Now, you remember we pointed out when we were in the 11th Chapter, that Paul there speaks of a woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled. So when Paul is declaring here that a woman is not to speak but is to keep silent, he is not referring to women not praying in church or not prophesying in church, because he already has made allowances for that back in the 11th Chapter. Then what does he mean that "your women.." -- notice "YOUR women keep silence in the church."
"35: And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church."
The early church followed the pattern of the Jewish synagogue. Men sat on one side, the women sat on the other side. Now we don't follow the Jewish synagogue pattern anymore. We commingle. They did that because they felt that they might be distracted by women, so they kept them on one side separately -- the men on the other so they would not be distracted by them.
Here, as you are sitting together, if something is said you don't quite understand, you might say [whispering] "what did he mean by that?" Or you might write a note, "what does that mean?" you know. There, because their husband was on the other side, "HONEY, WHAT'S HE TALKING ABOUT?" And so Paul said, let the woman keep silent -- your women keep silence -- your wife, let her keep silent. If she wants to learn anything, if she has a problem, a question, let her ask you when you get it home. It's a shame the way the women are calling out in church.
It isn't prohibiting them from praying -- from prophesying -- from exercising the other gifts of the spirit. It is prohibiting them from calling across the room to their husband to get an explanation of what's being said or what's going on. And so if they want to learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home. It's a shame for the women to speak in church -- speak out in church that way.
Now Paul said hey,
"36: Do you think that you originated the things of God? Do you think that you set the standards? that you set the rules? that the word of God has come forth from you? or only to you that you have a special dispensation?"
And now, Paul I think, uses a lot of wisdom, and he says look,
"37: If any man really thinks himself to be a prophet, or he really thinks him spiritual, then let him acknowledge that the things that I am writing to you are the commandments of the Lord."
You know, there were a lot of people puffed up spiritually. Paul said, "love isn't puffed up -- doesn't bond itself." But that was happening in Corinth. People were you know, trying to take positions of spiritual authority. And it's interesting how so many people get on these spiritual trips, and spiritual pride, and you know, they've got the revelation and they've got the understanding. They've got the knowledge you know. Paul said look, if a guy is truly spiritual, let him acknowledge that these things that I am saying are from the Lord. If you really have the gift of prophesy, if you are truly spiritual, you have to acknowledge this.
"38: But if a man is ignorant... (that's too bad) 39: Wherefore brethren, desire to prophesy and forbid not to speak in tongues."
But then finally, the last rule,
"40: Let all things be done decently and in order."
That's the failure of the Corinthian church. There was disorder in the house of God bringing confusion and people were going there and saying, hey they're crazy. And probably for good reason. So, let all things be done decently and in order.
Next week, that exciting 15th Chapter of Corinthians. Oh! It's a dilly!
May the Lord bless you and guide you in your walk and fellowship with Him, that it might increase and be enriched. May the Lord keep His hand upon your life this week. May you be blessed as he leads and guides. And may it be really a beautiful week. May you experience a new depth of relationship with Him.
Some of you who have, in times past, exercised some of those gifts of the spirit in your own devotions or whatever, and you've just sort of let them be lax, may you stir up the gifts that are in you. May you begin to just really use every tool that God has given to worship, to know, to fellowship, to understand. My you draw closer to Him -- be deepened in your walk. In Jesus name.

Stuff White People Like
3 comments:
- Jokah Macpherson said...
The only problem is that "liberals" isn't just white liberals, right? Does this then undercut the hypothesis that the coalition of the diverse will eventually fracture due to, er, divergent interests?
- Audacious Epigone said...
The greater the proportional representation, the more likely fracturing will occur.
Steve's noted on several occasions how it's strangely humorous to observe the left act as though they haven't been in control of everything for the last 50+ years, but doing so serves a very useful function in holding that coalition of the diverse together a la Goldenstein and the Two Minutes Hate.
The left will never be defeated politically. The power of the left comes from nominally non-religious people whose religion is their leftist politics, which they practice with fervor.
The right can never be this politically powerful, because they have actual religions as opposed to politics.
The left wreaks itself by ramming itself and society destructively into reality. The right in its better moments acts as an honest critic, but when the left succeeds in silencing its critics, only bitter reality remains as a teacher.
The future of conservatism is bright, but it will not be due to present conservatives winning the argument. It will be due to liberals who make their own lives miserable for however long it takes until they rediscover the wheel so to speak.
For example, the rape crisis across college campuses and in the military is liberals marinating in a stew of their own creation. Solving it means doing something convervative, obviously. Right now the consensus seems to be for the authorities to protect the virtue of the womenfolk by taking shotgun blasts in the general direction of young men who don't know their place. This would be familiar to an old southerner.

How do I feel about this second kid who is still growing inside me? I am unsure with how my emotions should be. I know that I am excited to hold him for the first time and put a face to this tiny heart beat that squished up against my belly. That I will get to count his toes on the feet that kick each time he hears his daddy. That I will get another hand to hold, another mouth to kiss, another soul to love.
Your like a secret hidden inside that boggles my mind. Who is this baby, I know nothing about? I knew instantly everything about Wyatt before he was here. I dreamt of him and how he'd look and what he'd be like but you darling boy, are a secret.
Your a surprise party waiting to burst out. You are something I seem to know nothing about. You are shocker, a absolute wonder and I am amazed at how well you keep a secret.
Who is this baby of mine? Are you going to be like you dad or maybe like me or are you something that no one has ever seen before.
I have one hundred and forty forty days to go before I get to meet you, which just seems to long. I don't even have name to call you yet. Most days I feel normal like there is not a another soul inside of me and then you kick, squirm or flip to remind me that you are here and then I sit and ponder you. The secret boy with no name.
I imagine dark hair softly placed on your head and tiny toes and little fingers and little ears and just you little. I imagine what your cry will be like and how you will fit in my arms and how different it will be to actually hold something so tiny again. I imagine the way you will look at me, with big brown eyes and then I imagine you different. Maybe you'll be blonde like Wyatt and have the same eyes has him or maybe you will have red hair. Will you be bigger than he was? Will you cry be new to me? Will I instantly fall for you like I fell for Wyatt?
Oh little baby, who is such a secret I cant wait to meet you. Where all my questions will be answered and I will sit in disbelief and be completed astounded at who you are.Tweet

The network says it will provide advertisers with details of household and specific demographic delivery of their schedules based on results from Ibope people meter ratings data.
USA Latin America's public affirmation of the Ibope research - commissioned by the Television Association of Programmers Latin America - is in sharp contrast with the position taken by research subscriber Turner International. Turner executives claimed in an earlier statement that the research is flawed and cannot produce "accurate and statistically valid ratings".
The company said its position was unrelated to poor performance in the Ibope results of flagship brand CNN and CNN en Espanol.
But USA Latin America is at the forefront of attempts to disseminate the findings and give them currency within the marketing and advertising community in Latin America. Barry Frey, USA Networks' managing director, international ad sales and new business development, says the data will "prove USA Latin America's worth as an effective and efficient media vehicle. As the Ibope ratings and our proprietary system evolve," he says, "we anticipate this will be a key advantage for buyers considering Latin America for their schedules."

A Disconnected Humanity: The Age of Pineal Suppression

People throw around terms like "philanthropic capital markets" or "social investing" a lot these days. But since we are only in the infancy of creating, or even imagining, the full meaning of these terms, I thought it might be useful to look 25 years into the future, to the year 2032, and see what a fully functioning philanthropic capital market might look like. You can only create that which you imagine.
For most foundations, the year 2032 does not look a whole lot different from 2008, or 1950, for that matter. Most foundations hold less than $1 million in assets and devote the bulk of their giving to nonprofit organizations in their community. While these nonprofits have responded to competitive pressures and can now clearly discuss their impact objectives and actual results, donors typical provide funding in response to a personal connection from within their community.
But for some foundations, the landscape is radically different. The "social stock exchanges" that became popular between 2011 and 2019 now include all but a few large nonprofits and many small but ambitious startups. These exchanges compete for nonprofit listings, arguing that they provide the most visibility to potential funders. Exchanges include large national networks that include some international organizations, down to small local exchanges that cater to specific metro areas and some large rural areas.
The business of giving money away has changed radically for large private foundations and smaller "impact oriented" foundations. Instead of being solicited for grants, these foundations' "impact committees" and "program analysts" spend their days looking for and researching potential grantees. Given the significant information disclosure required by the exchanges, much of the information required for grantee research is available online. Third party evaluation firms provide regular reports on listed nonprofits and these reports are a valuable input for the foundations.
While the cost to nonprofits of conforming to the exchanges' information disclosure requirements is steep, once a nonprofit is listed they find that grant dollars come looking for them rather than the other way around. Exchange listed nonprofits tend to have very small fundraising groups that focus on "donor relations" and marketing the nonprofit during the regular "road shows" they attend where they have the opportunity to make their case in front of large audiences of funders.
In the early days of the social stock exchanges, many funders and nonprofits worried that the passion and joy of giving would be swept away given the exchanges resemblance to financial markets. But the truth was something else entirely. As funders became comfortable with the idea that social impact was generated from the distribution of relevant information rather than through its protection, a sense of community and camaraderie developed that set the social exchanges apart from the traditional financial markets. Nonprofit presentations at the regular "road shows" were frequently interrupted by spontaneous conversations in the audience as funders debated the potential of the nonprofit with each other. Working together, funders often organized large public funds that they would then direct at specific social problems. The nonprofit competition for these funds was fierce, but at the end of the day, even those not funded felt that the competition had helped them improve.
Now in 2032, more and more individuals of moderate incomes are becoming interested in the social markets. Most Americans now have a donor advised fund since all major banks offer a zero-minimum, no-fee account that can be linked to your checking. A quick search on Google Finance gives individuals access to multiple third party evaluations of exchange listed nonprofits. International giving is even coming into vogue for the small donor now that so many "donor funds" managed by the largest foundations offer low cost access to a basket of top-rated nonprofits within specific causes.
The early 2030s is a good time for both funders and grantees in America. Many funding innovations have come to pass and for-profit firms are constantly working to develop new products and services for the philanthropic capital markets. But recently there has been some consolidation among the exchanges and some local nonprofits fear that funding will dry up for organizations without national scope. The default on a $1 billion bond issued by a nonprofit offering vaccines in Africa has sent shockwaves through the markets, and other nonprofits have seen the availability of credit dry up. There are challenges in 2032 just as there are challenges that face every generation. But it is an exciting time to be a philanthropist.

In Memorium – George Knies 1933-2014
George was very active with the Navy League and the US Naval Sailing Association. He was involved in getting the Navy 44 sailing vessel "Courageous" to be berthed in Richmond, CA as part of the NROTC training for UC Berkeley.

Friends and family are welcome to share memorial comments for an "Eight Bells" tribute to George later in August.

George was a very good friend of my father (Glenn Harter). I met George in the early 1980's. His love of life, strong sense of duty had a great influence on my life.
George and I worked together in PICYA, YRA, SBRA, Blue Gavel, Youth sailing, and along with Russ Breed, on many Race Committees.
George was one of the first people to tell me…'Don't let that one get away"….referring to Russ, who later became my husband.
George helped and guided me through many difficult times…particularly when I lost both my parents, 11 days apart. He was a very strong rudder throughout the years.
When we said goodbye, a couple old Saturdays ago, I told him I was very honored and blessed to know him and to have him in my life…He responded with a twinkle in his eye, "Back at you, kid..I'll still be watching you to make sure you get it right."
Ann and family: Thank you for sharing George with us. We are better people because he was in our lives. I know he is watching over us.
Much love,
Lynette Harter Breed,

George was one of the first friends I made at TIYC back in 2007, and I instantly felt through him (and many, that day) that I had found a home. Thank you, very much, to the Knies Family, for sharing him with all of us.

Many years ago I met George when we had just joined TIYC. His love of being on the water and his passion for flying had connected us. We occasionally exchanged articles on various topics from jokes and political opinions to the up to date advancements in aviation and the boating world. Through these conversations, I came to know George on a different level and to appreciate his values although our points of view remained far apart on many subjects.
Since the beginning of the year when I came on board as Commodore, we have been in touch more often and usually I had been calling him once a month to share an article on the latest societal affairs or historical significance and to get his opinion on club related subjects. I always enjoyed his shoot-from-the-hip view and direct answers, common among pilots.
George was a rare breed, and as a friend once said – "he was genuine in a way that few people dare to be these days". He said what was on his mind, often colorfully but always straight and he was surprisingly open to hear the opposite view. He will be greatly missed

We were saddened to hear of the passing of George. When Gordy joined the Treasure Island Yacht Club in 1986, George was his sponsor and mentor. Gordy reminices that George, along with himself, are the last of the former Navy members. George was a dedicated , hard working member if the TIYC and a wonderful historian of Treasure Island.

Have you ever felt that there is nothing sensible in your brain to translate into your blog? I have had my share of brain fart moment but this by far the worst since I have a lot of posts but due to time constraints with work and also other responsibilities I wasn't able to do them for a while now.
If you have followed me on twitter I hope you do I had been tweeting there nonstop about what I've been doing at home around midnight onwards. I have been assigned to edit music for our upcoming company party and doing a medley of sorts out of different songs is very hard. I really takes up your time because it has to be very fluid.
I have been sleeping late than the usual which is not great. Fortunately, last night I was able to edit a make up look I will be uploading soon. I will share more information about that within a couple of days.
That's it for my day. I still have to do some editing and quite honestly while typing this blog my eyes are starting to give me signs to sleep because they have been drooping. Ugh! I do hope I get over this brain fart moment as fast as possible and I want to get back to my usual routine!
Oh well..
That's it for today. I do hope you understand my lack of posts recently :)
Much Love!

You Need to Plan a Business Event! How to Get Started
Think celebrations are just for corporations and large businesses? Think again! Small local businesses can and should host special events of all kinds. And while you may not feel like you have extra time to plan a business event, it's important to remember that any time you spend on growing your business isn't "extra"—it's essential! Forrester Research reports that events are the second most effective marketing tactic, after a company's website. That's partly because, according to Event Marketing Institute, 74 percent of attendees have a more positive perception of a brand after an event and are more likely to make a purchase. If you haven't had one recently, then it's definitely time to plan a business event!
The good news is that it can be a blast to plan a business event that also achieves that essential business growth. If you're looking to grow and expand your business, getting out in front of a new audience already intrigued by your special event is a great tool. You may emerge as a thought leader in your space, while adding value to your customer's experience of your product or service.
What is a special event for a business?
What does it mean to plan a business event? It can be as simple as serving delicious food and drinks, playing music, and taking time out to connect with your customers for two hours during your work day—a traditional, yet very nimble in-house party. A special event can also mean a conference, a lecture, co-sponsoring a special gathering like a skateboarding competition, film screening, or day of caring.
For example, Skate Like a Girl Seattle recently hosted the Seventh Annual Wheels of Fortune Female Skateboarding Showcase. The group attracted over 500 competitors and spectators with the mission of creating "an inclusive community by promoting confidence, leadership, and social justice through the sport of skateboarding." In doing so, Their sponsoring partners—sock and helmet brands, organic juice and vegan cookie companies—were able to authentically position themselves in front of a very inspired audience. Partnering with Skate Like a Girl at their event allowed these businesses to find new customers.
Designing your own special event—or collaborating with another business or nonprofit—can benefit any business, regardless of size. The trick is to figure out how to plan a business event that will be valuable to your target audience. Events can be especially valuable for home-based businesses, as a way to educate your community and potential clients about what you do.
The possibilities for activating the community around your business are endless, but let's elaborate on a few that are low on cost and high on pizazz.
Event possibilities
Co-host an event with a community partner. Is there an organization whose work is in harmony with your own? Get together and form a party dream team to plan a business event. You sell rare cameras? Get together with a youth media organization like Reel Grrls to host a party. Maybe the organization is having an event that you can hop in to partner on. Would they like to have their fundraiser at your shop? Can you provide some exclusive swag? Find out how you can help them achieve their goals, while getting your brand in front of their community.
Thank your customers. Is there a better way to say "Thank you for supporting my business" than a soiree for your customers with exclusive deals and treats? We think not. There are some easy ways to do it—serve cake all day!—while other options may require more coordination. Generally, parties and promotional events need not be expensive to be effective.
Tell your story. Your special event is a great way to make the story of your business or products come alive. Connect your products and your customers! For example, if you're selling a product made with whole organic ingredients, you could include the folks that grow them as your event co-hosts or guests. When was the last time you met the farmer who grew the lavender in your hand lotion? That's an unforgettable connection that you can forge for your customers, the kind that's likely to increase brand loyalty.
Create Shop Local partnerships. Work with other local businesses to form new vendor relationships and new friendships while getting your event essentials lined up. Thinking of including music, a photographer, drinks, snacks, treats, or design collateral? There are likely other businesses within walking distance (and in your Townsquared network) that you can work with. Cross-promotion is a win for everybody.
Host a thank you party for your staff and vendors. Gratitude in your workplace is a great initiative for a lot of reasons. One big one is that managers who say "thank you" to their team find that those employees are often motivated to work harder. Researchers at the Wharton School found that fundraisers who received a pep talk from the director of annual giving, telling them she was grateful for their efforts, made 50 percent more fundraising calls than those who didn't hear the talk. Plan a business event that increases employee retention!
Celebrate a national holiday with your own spin. There are countless ways of incorporating your business or products into these celebrations. Do you sell artisanal spices? Everyone likes a (red) Himalayan Sea Salt, (blue) Icelandic Sea Salt and (white) San Juan Island Sea Salt American Flag! On Father's or Mother's Day, celebrate families of all types by letting everyone who comes through your business write down a favorite family memory, and display it throughout the day in shop or online. Valentine's Day rolling around again? Everyone, including single people, enjoy candy or a paper heart to go. Simple celebrations that uplift your customers pair your brand with that good feeling.
Collaborate with your community on local events. Maybe your special event is to volunteer with Pride, march in the parade, or host an after event or pre-march brunch. Post stickers and posters that proclaim your business as a loud and proud ally during Pride and all year long. If you are unable to afford fees like parade registration, many organizations will work with you. You might also just walk with a neighboring business or nonprofit and invite your customers and colleagues to join!
The right time to plan a business event
The reasons for creating your events are as legion as the event possibilities. It's never the wrong time to say "thank you" to your team, customers, and colleagues. Customer (and employee!) loyalty are your reward for setting aside some time to evaluate the intersection of your interests and those of your community. What begins as a two-hour cocktail party or introducing the story of people in your supply chain, can result in lasting partnerships.
The right guest list
Any great event relies on the people you invite, and the best way to create a well-rounded guest list is to invite folks active in your community. Your partner, friends, and children are always around cheering you on? Another business owner you admire, but don't yet know? Make sure they're invited!
The best parties invites all types, from customers and admired professionals to professional partiers. That's right, don't be afraid to hire performers or experts as part of your event. Admire a local drag chanteuse? Hire her to sing a number at your event. Love the cocktails of a local mixologist? Get them pouring at your party. Have you always paid attention to the drawings of a local illustrator in your neighborhood alt-weekly? Have her draw your online party invitation. These kinds of organic connections create buy-in from a variety of surprising event stakeholders. It's a great chance to turn a colleague into a friend, a friend into a customer, and a customer into a brand evangelist. Remember, special events work better as awareness raisers than sales tools. You might be surprised at how exciting you can make a small event, and then watch that excitement turn into sales.
But wait, you also get…
Not only do special events spread brand awareness at the event, they're also a strategically efficient and authentically fun way to produce content for your web presence. This kind of content gives people a "behind the scenes" look at their favorite local businesses. Special events can electrify your typical marketing channels, give you a sense of satisfaction, and open doors of communication.
Creating special events encourages collaboration between community members, and a great event can bring together members of a diverse community around a common theme. Events are best when shared, so remember to lighten the workload by dividing it among many stakeholders.
Events can tell your story, remind folks to shop local, and help you celebrate and collaborate! Business-driven special events allow you to utilize community assets, hardwire celebration into the DNA of your growing business, make gratitude a ritual, meet new collaborators, get the word out, give back, and enjoy the enterprise you've created—all while giving guests compelling reasons to support your business.
Cori Ready is a creative event designer and founding board member of the Seattle Design Foundation. She'll be one of the expert panelists at the Townsquared Seattle workshop How to Design an Event for Your Business, Monday, July 11. Check out our Events page for more information and tickets!

Present: Courant, Farley, Johnson, Kaufman, King, Schottlaender, Van Gemert (ex officio), Wheeler, Wilkin
1. Election for HathiTrust First Governing Board At-large members:
The Executive Committee concluded the following in support of creating a Board of Governors:
- The HathiTrust Executive Committee appoints an Elections Committee consisting of five (5) persons by Jan. 1st, 2012.
- The Elections Committee calls for nominations. Nominees should have a record of significant administrative responsibility and, particularly, demonstrated leadership within the community. It is assumed that the new Board of Governors will be comprised primarily (though not necessarily exclusively) of university librarians and CIOs.
- Persons who agree to stand for election must submit brief statements of interest to the Elections Committee explaining the reasons for their candidacy and relevant credentials.
- The Elections Committee assembles the ballot, taking into account factors such as geographical distribution, public/private institution, size of institution and other similar factors.
- The Elections Committee will select twelve (12) persons for the ballot. Individuals from Founding Member institutions may not be on the ballot. The role, construction and operation of the Elections Committee, including the nature of the ballot and who may vote, must be reviewed within five years of January 31, 2012, by the Governing Board.
- Votes are cast by partners (i.e., institutions or consortia) and voting will be weighted, using same formula as in Constitutional Convention (i.e., voting weight determined by calculating the square root of the volumes contributed and dollars spent). Minimum vote weights will be rounded up to a value of one (1) so that no institution has a vote with a weight of less than one.
- Although persons from Founding Member institutions may not run for election, Founding Member institutions will be able to vote for at-large candidates. In the case of consortia, the consortium may choose to allocate the aggregate weighted vote in the consortium (e.g., dividing the votes in some manner among the member institutions).
- The two candidates with the most votes will serve five-year terms. The candidates with the third and fourth highest vote totals will serve four-year terms. The candidates with the fifth and sixth highest vote totals will serve three-year terms. As terms expire, subsequent elections will be for five year terms. New elections will take place using the same methods beginning in 2015.
- Should a Board member leave his or her administrative post – e.g., retire as a UL – there will be a special election, using the same rules, to fill the unexpired term.
- The remaining six (6) Board seats are allocated to California (2), the CIC institutions excluding Indiana and Michigan (2), Indiana (1) and Michigan (1).
- The Elections Committee call for nominations will run for three (3) weeks, beginning as early in January as possible.
- The election will open on March 1st and close on March 15th. Results will be announced by March 30
- New Board of Governors begins its work on April 15th, 2012.

Coming Soon
I am back from a lovely weekend with my children and the grand babies. It's a little hard to get back into the studio because my mind is with the babies. But I figure if I issue myself a challenge I can switch gears. So with no further adieu....
Etsy shop update Thursday the 6th at 9 pm EST.
Lots of beads and just when you thought I'd gone all earthy on you, I changed things up with some yummy jewel tones. Here's a little sample of what's coming up. There are even a few buttons in there. Why? Just 'cause sometimes I get this wild notion that buttons might be fun to make.
This is why it is so darned hard to switch gears. Love these grand babies of mine.

Water Policy Entrepreneurs
A Research Companion to Water Transitions around the Globe
Edited by Dave Huitema and Sander Meijerink
Chapter 1: Transitions in Water Management: Positioning this Book
Dave Huitema and Sander Meijerink
Dave Huitema and Sander Meijerink 1.1 Water management: a field in flux Water is a resource that man cannot do without. The functions it fulfils for humans range from direct support of our biological systems and of agriculture, to serving as a repository for waste, as a medium for recreation and as a political and cultural symbol, to mention some of the most important. Given its indispensability to humans it is no surprise that managing water, taking care that users have a sufficient amount of the necessary quality at the right time, has preoccupied human societies since they formed. Obviously, methods of water management have changed considerably since human beings began to intervene in the natural water cycle. The field of water management continues to be in flux. Climate change has brought predictions of an increase in extreme water events and of rising sea levels (see for example, Easterling et al., 2000; Vellinga and Van Verseveld, 2000; Cabanes et al., 2001; Gleick at al., 2001; Alley et al., 2005). Serious flaws in the traditional engineering approach to water management have become clear in the past few decades, including the massive social and ecological damage caused by dams (see for example World Commission on Dams, 2000; Gleick, 2003; Stone, 2008). There has been much poorly planned development in arid and semi-arid areas, which has increased demand for water and resulted in considerable, often unanticipated environmental effects (see for example Schlesinger et al., 1990; Genxu and Guodong, 1999; Turner et al., 2007)...

Jeffrey Wayne Lore dies at 60
Jeffrey Wayne Lore, 60, of Austin Texas, formerly Bassett, passed away Thursday Oct. 19, 2017 at home surrounded by his loving family.
Funeral Services for Jeffrey Lore will be held Friday Oct. 27, 2017 at 10:30 a.m. at Trinity United Methodist Church in Charles City with Pastor Wendy Johannesen and Pastor Martha Bennett officiating. Burial will be at Cedar View Cemetery in Chickasaw County following the luncheon.
A gathering of family and friends will be at Hauser Funeral Home from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday Oct. 26, 2017. Visitation will continue one hour prior to the services at the church on Friday. A funeral luncheon and memories will be shared immediately after the services at Trinity United Methodist Church.
Jeff was born on Aug. 19, 1957 to Maida Wiegmann and Robert Lore in Charles City. Growing up in Bassett leaves Jeff with many memories. Some of those memories include being an outrider in the Iowa/Minnesota Chuck Wagon Association. This is where his love of horses continued to grow. He moved to central Texas, working as a farrier and raising his four children (Jason, Cody, Jessica and Casey). Jeff was more of a Texas cowboy than most native born Texan. He was a big part of the Salt Grass and Valley Lodge Trail Ride Associations. Jeff was also instrumental in the Saddle Up for St. Jude Trail Ride to raise money for the children's hospital.
Jeff is survived by his four children: Jason (Chase) Lore of Lockhart, Texas, Cody (Acaida) Lore of Bleiberville, Texas, Jessica (Ian) Landmon of Liberty Hill, Texas and Casey Lore of Hempstead, Texas; five grandchildren: Brynlee, Blayklee, Landin, Reygan and Phineas; his mother, Maida Wiegmann of Charles City, step-mother, Bonnie Lore of Ionia; three sisters: Denise (Jerry) Conway of Austin, Texas, Valerie (Mark) Tedder of Buda, Texas and Michelle (Jeromy) Winter of Ionia; two brothers: Bobby (Pam) Lore of Bassett, and Dave Lore of Austin, Texas; also many loving nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.
In Jeff's famous words, I am now "finer than frog hair".
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Grace United Methodist Church, 701 1st Ave. Floyd, IA 50435 or Cedar View Cemetery, 2180 Beaumont Ave., Ionia, IA 50645.
Hauser Funeral Home, (641) 228-2323, in Charles City, is in charge of local arrangements. Online condolences may be left for the family at www.hauserfh.com.

While the piece still doesn't have a title, it is for the most part done. I will no doubt go back in and tweak some values before it is framed. Maybe I'll call it Peony Clouds - it reminds me a bit of how clouds look from an airplane! :-) While a peony was my inspiration, I deviated from reality by making the petals a lot more multicoloured and by stylizing the various veins and shapes. I have included a more detailed shot of a section of the piece below.
I won't be in the studio this week because I am heading off to California! I am attending the Coloured Pencil Society of America's convention. I shall also be able to see the CPSA exhibition. Woo-hoo!! The CPSA's 18th Annual International Exhibition is now open for viewing at the Art Museum of Los Gatos. If you are visiting the San Francisco area this summer do take the opportunity to visit this incredible exhibition - all of the work juried into the show has been executed exclusively in coloured pencil!
