The Christian, Sanctification and the Growing Hyper Grace/Antinomianism Movement [UPDATED]
ORIGINAL ARTICLE [UPDATES AT THE END]
"What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin— because anyone who has died has been set free from sin." (Romans 6:1-7)
There is a growing movement within conservative Christianity which has come to be termed the "Hyper Grace" movement, and which has become enough of a concern for a number of high profile pastors to publicly name this movement and its leaders, and sound a warning. This includes GTY's John MacArthur who considered this movement sufficiently serious enough to warrant it being publicly named at the 2014 Shepherds Conference (Pastor Jerry Wragg did an outstanding teaching session on it).
"Churches are dividing over this...." (Pastor Jerry Wragg)
The two most prominent and well known leaders of the Hyper Grace movement are Tullian Tchividjian (grandson of Billy Graham and author of Jesus + Nothing = Everything) and Elyse Fitzpatrick (author of the parenting book Give Them Grace, and a counselor in the biblical counseling movement). Tchvidijian and Fitzpatrick, along with biblical counselor Paul David Tripp, are also the creators of the annual Liberate Conference.
Elyse Fitzpatrick has defended her views in her article dated June 7, 2014 and entitled "I Am Not Antinomian." Lutheran pastor Chris Rosebrough defended Tullian Tchividjian in his radio show dated May 22, 2014 ("Is Tullian Tchividjian An Antinomian?").
WHAT IT'S ABOUT
The controversy about Hyper Grace in a nutshell:
- Proponents of Hyper Grace seem to be confusing justification and sanctification as being one and the same thing.
- Hyper Grace adherents tend to regard imperatives in scripture ("Law") as being mentioned only for the purpose of explaining to Christians what will (passively) occur to them throughout their Christian walks, while the non-Hyper Gracers believe that imperatives are mentioned in scripture for the purpose of exhorting believers to (actively) engage in their own sanctification, albeit always by the power of the Holy Spirit.
- Hyper Grace adherents would consider those on the other side of the argument as being Legalists, and (wrongly) claim that those on the other side think that their works have something to do with God saving them (works righteousness).
- And of course, those on the other side of the argument would have concerns that Hyper Grace adherents are Antinomian (literally, against or "anti" God's moral law) in their Christian walks, and would tend toward licentiousness.
It should be noted that some in the Hyper Grace movement were reacting (legitimately) to genuine legalism and works righteousness in evangelicalism that was leading to burnt out, exhausted Christians. But the concern is that they have over-corrected to the point that they dismiss a believer's genuine concern over personal sin by just telling them to look at the Cross, and not helping them to grow in personal holiness and putting off sin, to the point of tempting them to antinomian patterns of behavior.
In his article Antinomianism and the Hyper Grace Error, Bill Muehlenberg website addressed this issue by stating it this way:
One of a number of errors found in antinomianism is a failure to keep the various aspects of salvation in proper alignment. The long-standing and quite biblical threefold division of salvation is always important to appeal to here. Let me lay it out very simply and diagrammatically:
KEY CRITICS
Below are some Christian pastors who have addressed this movement:
(1) Pastor Jerry Wragg (Grace Immanuel Bible Church - Jupiter, FL) spoke on the Hyper Grace movement at John MacArthur's 2014 Shepherd's Conference. (You can listen to that talk here: The New Antinomianism). A few excerpts from Pastor Wragg's Shepherd's Conference talk:
Pastor Jerry Wragg
"I have a lot of young people in our church, and I talk to them all the time and counsel many of them, and all of our staff counsel the up-and-comers who've been saved by grace. And they are immersed in and loving what the Bible says about justification by faith alone. They are as reformed, through and through, as they can be in the early part of their Christian life. But as we counsel them, it's interesting. They have a lot of patterns of failure as you would expect (in new believers), but there is a defeatedness and spiritual fatigue that is also there quite often. And look, they're singing the songs as passionately as anyone on Sunday morning. I've never seen so much passion....a lot of heat, a lot of passion. But it doesn't seem to change the spiritual patterns of growth and maturity in their lives quite often. And then this sort of depression sets in, and these doubts set in. And it's interesting, the [Hyper] Grace movement today sees the greatest problem in the church as driving people to conform to rules for fear of failing to accept or hold onto God's love. It's like the diagnosis today is, if you see people today in spiritual fatigue, it can't possibly be because they're just sinning and full of guilt and need to repent and live a life of confession. That can't be it. It's got to be because the rest of us are telling them about duty all the time. Tullian Tchividjian calls it 'the plague of performance-ism,' which is trying too hard, and they're just tired. Let me tell you, (if a Christian believes) that their salvation could be lost, (and they have been) taught.......that their salvation is not secure, and they don't understand justification, by all means, ground them in the security of the justification of God. Ground them there. But sometimes, it isn't that they are doubting at all their justification. Sometimes, listen, they are under the divine burden of guilt and failure that is on their conscience. If you tell them about free grace in that moment, you will tempt them to ignore the conscience."
"Beloved, there's a very real danger in merely telling exhausted, fearful Christians that Christ has done everything for them. You must help them trace their spiritual discouragement to the correct root. I mean, you know that, right? Cain was depressed, and what did God say to him? 'Hey man, if you sing a song about me, won't your countenance be lifted?' No. And I don't mean to be overly critical, I'm just saying, He said, 'If you do what is right.......'"
"We told an entire generation that evangelism means 'Go immerse yourself in the culture,' and they did. And now their life is riddled with all kinds of sensuality, carnality, and the dumbing down of God's standards. And they don't see sin rightly. They don't see the standard of God's holiness where they need to see it. And so they're living a sensual life, and they're burdened because they're hearing gospel truth from your pulpit. They're hearing the word of God from your pulpit, and they're burdened. And they come to you and they say, 'What's wrong? I sing songs to the cross, I pray, I contemplate grace (and I'm still burdened). What's wrong?' I'll tell you what's wrong, beloved, you haven't repented of those moment by moment times when temptation presents itself, and you believed God for your justification, but in that moment (of temptation), you won't believe him, and his promise, for your sanctification. You believe lies in the moment. And so it's dangerous to tell every sin-worn Christian that his or her disobedience is nothing more than a failure to bask in grace, a failure to be joyful that they're already accepted in Christ. That isn't the point.......So I would suggest that what this sensual, culture-immersed generation needs is not another excuse for their guilt and weakness, but a message of real power. Real power that God assures us in the very gospel of grace, and the power that comes by the means that God chose. The Bible never pits indicatives against imperatives. The grace that effected and secured my justification is the same grace that empowers me in the use of God's intended means, which are the word and prayer and service and praise, etc. And the key that unleashes the Spirit's power in sanctification is true faith. When you entrust yourself to God's word in the moment of temptation, that's what starves the flesh. That's mortification. Scripture teaches that Christ's victory over sin and death in the past is what assures us of the dynamic power over sin in the present." (my emphasis)

***UPDATES***
6-21-15 - Prominent Hyper Grace proponent Tullian Tchividjian resigns as pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian, citing an adulterous affair.
6-21-15 - Tchividjian releases a statement about his adulterous affair and states that his wife had an affair before he did.
6-22-15 - Tullian's wife, Kim Tchividjian, releases a statement of her own: "The statement (given by Tullian Tchvidjian 6-21-15) reflected my husband's opinions but not my own. Please respect the privacy of my family at this time, thank you. I do thank everyone for the outpouring of love for my family as well during this difficult time and we appreciate all the prayers and support we are receiving."
8-11-15 - The PCA's South Florida Presbytery strips Tchividjian of his pastoral credentials and removes him from ministry.
8-24-15 - Tchividjian files for divorce from his wife of 20 years.
8-29-15 - Tchividjian's fellow Liberate conference speaker and friend Paul David Tripp issues a statement indicating that after two months of counsel, he was giving his blessing to Tchividjian's divorce from his wife Kim. Tripp briefly posts this article on his Facebook and Twitter accounts, but removes them after receiving comments from both Tchividjian's brother and sister (Boz Tchividjian and Jerushah Tchividjian Armfield, respectively) that strongly imply that what was being portrayed by Tripp and Tullian publicly was not necessarily an accurate representation of what was going on behind the scenes (screenshots below).
8-30-15 - Mark Jones of the Reformation 21 website writes an article questioning the wisdom of Paul David Tripp publicly weighing in on the Tchividjian divorce.
9-1-15 - Tullian Tchividjian, formerly the pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church before he was removed from the pastoral office and disciplined for committing adultery (in June 2015), is listed as the "Director of Ministry Development" at Willow Creek Church in Winter Springs, FL (screenshots below).
9-2-15 - Carl Trueman of Mortification of Spin weighs in: "Celebrity is not just about being well known. It is also about developing informal and formal extra-ecclesiastical structures of authority (and thus of accountability, or lack thereof) which focus on specific personalities and subserve the needs of those personalities......At a more formal level, the language of accountability is transferred from church to specially selected individuals or parachurch organizations. This is where it becomes really complicated. If money changes hands, then an already problematic arrangement is potentially corrupted. If no money changes hands but the parties have a mutual interest in brand protection and promotion, the same applies."
9-2-15 - Todd Pruitt of Mortification of Spin weighs in: "The South Florida Presbytery has also attempted to shepherd (Tchividjian) during this time. But those offers appear to have been rejected.........When a minister falls to adultery it is imperative that he be removed from his position of oversight. It is dangerous both for the church and for the fallen pastor's own soul to remain in a position of spiritual oversight when he is unfit for such a responsibility. By stripping Tchividjian of his credentials and extending pastoral care to him and his family the South Florida Presbytery did the right thing; the Christian thing. I wonder if the church that has just hired Tchividjian understands the peril in which they have placed him." (Online source: "A Grievous Ruin")
9-3-15 - Rick Phillips, chair of the Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology and senior pastor of Second Presbyterian Church in Greenville, S.C., weighs in: "Does pastoral godliness matter? This question is fairly raised, given both Tullian's writings (including tweets) since his admitted sexual infidelity and now the response to it by his supporters. For his part, Tullian has expressed an unwillingness to cease his public ministry, saying this would 'undermine the very message' he teaches (one can only but regrettably agree). This attitude has now been confirmed by Willow Creek Church (PCA) in Orlando, which just announced hiring Tchividjian to its ministry staff. This a mere two weeks after Tullian filed for divorce, three weeks after he was deposed from the ministry, and a little over two months after he resigned his pastorate over admitted moral unfitness. The apostle Paul's teaching that a pastor (and by extension, a celebrity preacher) must be faithful to his wife and above public reproach (1 Tim. 3:2) also does not seem to matter. Perhaps because Paul's teaching falls into the category of law it is deemed irrelevant to the celebration of grace.......One of the more horrific moments in this affair was Tullian's disgraceful exposing (even highlighting) of his wife's sin before the national media. Likewise, Paul Tripp's public article defending Tullian's divorce implied that the problem was her unwillingness to reconcile. One may wonder why a private counselor would even publish such information about his clients..... It certainly does not seem that the CGM emphasizes the duties of husbands to protect and love their wives, perhaps since teaching male obligation would under Tullian's doctrine amount to legalism. Sadly, we are reminded of what happens not only when sin is given license but when our 'glorious ruin' is celebrated: many vulnerable people, starting with women and children in the home, suffer from the tolerated sins of men. Of all the people who should express concern about attending CGM churches, prospective wives may be among the first."
3-16-16 - Lutheran pastor Chris Rosebrough publishes the article "A Statement Regarding Tullian Tchividjian and the New Allegations of Infidelity." In this article, Rosebrough states that: "I was accused of being inconsistent with how I treat my friend Tullian as opposed to how I critique Mark Driscoll. Comparing Driscoll to Tullian is like comparing grapefruits to bananas. Here's why: a) Driscoll fled from church discipline and claimed he heard God's voice telling him that the discipline plan put in place by the board at Mars Hill was a trap and now he is restoring himself to ministry, b) Tullian resigned and submitted to church discipline after his sin was brought to light and has since been under the watchful care of a PCA pastor and elders. The fact that Tullian has now been further disciplined by his pastor is undeniable proof that there is no comparison between Tullian and Driscoll and that I wasn't being inconsistent by not treating them the same." MY COMMENT: There have been conflicting public statements by 2 different pastors regarding how Tullian Tchividjian's discipline was handled:
(1) "(Tchividjian) submitted to church discipline," (as asserted by Lutheran pastor Chris Rosebrough of Fighting For the Faith radio), and
(2) "The South Florida Presbytery.....attempted to shepherd [Tchividjian] during this time. But those offers appear to have been rejected," (as stated by Presbyterian pastor Todd Pruitt of Mortification of Spin).
Both of the above statements cannot be true. In my judgement (and I could certainly be wrong), Pastor Pruitt most likely has the greater understanding of what actually played out behind the scenes in terms of attempts to meaningfully apply discipline to Tchividjian, given that he (Pruitt) is a member of the Presbytery, as is Tchividjian. Rosebrough, as a Lutheran pastor, is under a different ecclesiastical polity structure. Either Tchividjian "submitted to church discipline" (as asserted by Lutheran pastor Chris Rosebrough of Fighting For the Faith radio) or "The South Florida Presbytery.....attempted to shepherd [Tchividjian] during this time. But those offers appear to have been rejected" (as stated by Presbyterian pastor Todd Pruitt of Mortification of Spin). Both of these statements cannot be true. In my judgement (and I could certainly be wrong), Pastor Pruitt most likely has the greater understanding of what actually played out behind the scenes in terms of attempts to meaningfully apply discipline to Tchividjian, given that he (Pruitt) is a member of the Presbytery, as is Tchividjian. Rosebrough, as a Lutheran pastor, is under a different ecclesiastical polity structure.

3-18-16 - Tullian Tchividjian's Liberate Network Dissolves
3-21-16 - Tullian Tchividjian Confesses Second Affair Concealed by Two Coral Ridge Elders
MY SYNOPSIS OF TULLIAN'S RISE AND FALL
No one has condemned Tullian Tchividjian, in the sense of pronouncing eternal judgement on his soul. The concern has been that whether Tchividjian's supporters acknowledges this or not, all of Tchividjian's rehabilitation, restoration, however his supporters want to frame it, has had the appearance of working toward the purpose of getting Tchividjian back into a teaching role as quickly as possible. His supporters can say otherwise, but when it is known that:
(1) Tchividjian appears to have rejected any kind of meaningful oversight through the Presbytery (at least according to Todd Pruitt of Mortification of Spin), and then it is known that
(2) Another Presbyterian church (Willow Creek Presbyterian) immediately took Tchividjian in, and hired him to be the church's "Director of Ministry Development," and also that
(3) The pastor (Kevin Labby) of the church that took him in has written in his bio what a positive influence Tchividjian's teachings have had on him, the pastor, personally.....
.......well, it all takes on a very bad appearance. And frankly, it raises more questions than it answers. It comes across, at least to me, that those who have benefited from their association with Tchividjian's celebrity status don't want to give that up. If so, then shame, shame, shame on them.
I know that there will be those who read this article as being unnecessarily harsh toward Tchividjian. Please understand that that is not my intent. Tullian Tchividjian is in great peril, and even though he has personally resisted accountability, that does not let his sycophant associates and proppers off the hook, the ones who have so vigorously attempted to defend the indefensible.

Q: On Linux and Mac OS X, is there a kill or killall command that can let the app ask for unsaved document before exiting? On Linux and Mac OS X, is there a kill or killall command that can let the app ask for unsaved document before exiting, kind of like asking the app to quit, or clicking on the "close" button of the window.
For example,  type somecommand TextEdit on Mac and TextEdit will ask you if you want to save the unsaved document.

A: That's up to how the individual program responds to signals. If you do a kill with a 15 (SIGTERM) a program is supposed to do cleanup then exit. If, what and how are another matter.

A: For OS-X, try the script in Quit applications politely from the command line from MacOSXHints.com.  You can tell the target app whether or not to save its open files.  OS-X-specific, though - it uses AppleScript.

A: Doesn't look like it, though you can look check out the various kill signals available and try them out. I tried a few but they all seem to just interrupt the process instead of sending a quit signal.

A: I think it depends on the application, but kill -2, -3 or -15 might be what you are looking for...

A: Mac:
osascript -e 'tell app "TextEdit" to quit'

If you need to specify the app as an argument,
osascript -e 'on run args
  tell app (item 1 of args) to quit
end run' TextEdit

(Or save the quoted script in a file and osascriptscript appname.)

A: Signals that terminate an application aren't meant to allow the application any further user interaction. Either the user is no longer available (the HUP signal, whose original meaning was that the user was connected to the computer through a modem and the phone died), or the user doesn't want to be bothered (the default TERM signal and its more violent siblings QUIT and KILL). Many applications will try to save unsaved work somewhere if they receive the HUP signal, though.
A different option for Linux (and other unices) is to send a notification to the window, rather than the process: the _NET_CLOSE_WINDOW message tells an application to get rid of a specific window gracefully. You can send this message from the command line with wmctrl, e.g., wmctrl -c WINDOW_TITLE_SUBSTRING. Unfortunately, not all applications support this.

SOUTHINGTON – The Southington Community YMCA opened its newest "Wooden Wonderland" playground last Thursday behind the YMCA Learning Center.
The morning began with a welcome by YMCA Board President Dan Daigle followed by a blessing by Suzannah Rohman. The JumpStart to Kindergarten class did the pledge of allegiance, then Katie Sherman and Kari Robarge presented the features and benefits of the playground.
The playground is a two-part divided playground featuring numerous age-appropriate climbing, swinging and sand play areas. The division down the middle allows multiple preschool classes and different age groups to use the playground at the same time. The new space triples the existing playground areas of the YMCA Learning Center.
Katie Sherman, YMCA Director of Child Development, said that it is important for kids to have time to free play.
"Play is essential for dexterity development, learning to make decisions, and working in a group," she said.
Next, John Myers, YMCA Executive Director and Mark Pooler, Director of Operations said a few words to thank the donors whom made the playground possible. They thanked Clara Bellman, the Katie Dobroczynski Memorial Fund, RF Quinn Foundation, Stocker Foundation, YMCA Learning Center Families and ESPN.
Pooler, along with longtime volunteer and donor Clara Bellman, then cut the ribbon.
The Southington Community YMCA Learning Center is an 11,000 square foot early education learning facility. It houses preschool, nursery school and "JumpStart to Kindergarten" programs. The building houses seven classrooms and has an additional four classrooms across the street on the second floor of the main YMCA facility.
YMCA preschool is open to children 2 years and nine months old or older and is designed to prepare kids for kindergarten through collaborative play, active listening, and enrichment programs including swimming, gymnastics, sports and more.

Ever since the time of the Reformation, Protestants have emphasized the importance of hearing the Word of God preached in the covenant community as a vital means of grace through which the Lord builds up His church (Eph. 4:11–14). Personal study of the Scriptures has likewise been encouraged in order that the Lord's people might be equipped for ministry and grow into a greater knowledge of His will.
Individual Bible study is another element of personal piety that is rooted in the Old Testament. There are many passages that could be considered, but today we will look at one that describes Ezra, who was also our model for fasting. With the people of God back in the land of Palestine after their sojourn as exiles in Babylon, there was a desperate need for religious education and reform if the Jews were to be fully restored to their vocation as God's nation of priests (Ex. 19:1–6). Ezra, the scribe from the tribe of Levi (Ezra 7:1–9), was an ideal figure to lead this renewal, and today's passage explains why. Having "set his heart to study the law of the Lord, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel" (v. 10), Ezra was prepared to provide the guidance needed to restructure the covenant community according to the Word of God.
Every period of reformation in history begins with a return to sacred Scripture, and this was as true in Ezra's day as it was in the Protestant Reformation. For reformation to have lasting effects, this return must be a living reality — the church must be willing not only to learn biblical content but also to put it into practice. In preparing himself to do and to teach God's law, Ezra is a model for how the church should study Scripture and apply it in a way that fosters reformation.
Of course, the first step is to know what the Lord says in His Word. Matthew Henry comments regarding God's will that Ezra "made it his business to inquire into it, searched the scriptures, and sought the knowledge of God, of his mind and will, in the scriptures, which is to be found there, but not without seeking." The information in the Bible does us no good if it merely stays on the printed page; rather, we must diligently inquire into its depths and draw out the meaning the Spirit has placed there. As we are able, let us study the Bible wholeheartedly with the aim to rightly handle the "word of truth" (2 Tim. 2:15). That way, we will be prepared to serve God rightly.
One commentator has noted that if Ezra could esteem Torah, that one small portion of Scripture, we should be much more eager to plumb the depths of the completed canon that we possess today. Regular Bible study should be a part of every Christian's life, and should include both the simple reading of the printed page and further detailed study in which we work hard to understand the more complex portions of the Bible.


I think that chaotic combination of way too many things is a huge part of what I love about story writing. It's probably true of any kind of creative crafting -- everything sort of layers together and one thing leads to another and before you know it, you're in over your head.
Recent example: I decided that characters should have some sort of tattoo indicating what religion they follow. This led to quite a lot of obvious questions (such as how did I want to divide up the religions and what do the tattoos look like and is there a standard placement for them?) and then some connected questions (what does modesty look like? what is the climate like?) and then some google searches like exercise clothing in Thailand and how is silicone made.
In between those steps there were conversations about psychrometrics (between storywriting and living with an engineer, I get to learn all sorts of things) and design and... you get the picture.
Writing is great because it's an excuse to talk about and research pretty much anything.

A safe-deposit box at a local bank or credit union may be the best place to store hard-to-replace documents, jewellery and other small valuables. But it could be the worst place for certain other items. Here's a quick run-down of what to keep in — and keep out of — your safe-deposit box.
One alternative is to keep these documents in a secure place at home, such as a fireproof lock box or safe, and tell a trusted relative or friend where they are. You can also keep the original of your will on file at your lawyer's office.
Unlike bank and credit union accounts, safe-deposit boxes are not federally insured, so you could be out of luck if your box is tampered with or destroyed in a fire or flood — rare but not unheard-of events. Your homeowners' insurance policy may provide some coverage for the contents your safe-deposit box, but it's likely to be modest, so ask your insurance agent about adding a personal article floater or endorsement to supplement it.
These are increasingly being issued electronically, but if you have paper ones, store them in your safe-deposit box until you're ready to sell or redeem them. In some cases, lost or destroyed certificates can be replaced, but the process can be difficult and time-consuming. Before you lock them away, make photocopies or record their serial numbers and file at home.

oh my, you are a busy one. they all look great. nice blue and brown stars, there very nicely done! perhaps they will look good in pink green and white??? just one for me... fabric on it's way!
Such inspiring blocks you've made. I see some wonky houses in my future. And some "bubbles"!!
So busy! I love those bubbles, they will be perfect in a quilt. And I love the house and buzz cut cross block too.
that must have taken some serious time! Do you ever sleep?
Fun seeing all the blocks! Do you find that with so many swaps you don't have as much time to work on your own projects?
Wow! How do you keep all of those straight? What wonderful, creative blocks you have made!
Your creativity is astounding! What a great way to showcase all these different fabrics and block preferences!
I love my blocks, and after seeing them IRL, I'm sure they will stand up to a bit of washing etc.
loving those owls! great blocks John; you are on a roll!
Love the bubble block - what a fab idea!
no wonder you don't have time to make larger quilts...you do so great on your blocks! and man, you crank 'em out.
Love the wonky house block so fun!
Oh man, each of these blocks turned out nice. My favorite is the block with the owls. You just gave me some inspiration.


Many global healthcare systems are broken and lack the fundamental components of a system making them costly with poor outcomes. In order to address these challenges and create a sustainable healthcare delivery system that focuses on quality, safety, equity, effectiveness and cost, the next generation of healthcare leaders must be able to know and apply the principles of Population Health.
This course will cover the foundations of population health and lifestyle medicine, define the essential components, and make the argument for why healthcare delivery models based on these foundational principles are essential to addressing global healthcare crises. Given the current employer-based health insurance system, the business case for addressing workforce health will also be made.


The Saints continued their workouts on Saturday.
WR Joe Horn continued his contract holdout, as expected. The Saints have made no immediate public plans to talk to Horn about a new contract at this point. Horn may continue his holdout through the summer.
Also not on the field for the Saints of note were CB Kevin Mathis (neck), S Sammy Knight (ankle) and WR Jerome Pathon (ankle).
All are expected to be healthy and on the field for training camp. RB James Fenderson is back with the Saints after leaving NFL Europe with a knee injury. He is with the team but is not practicing right now.

FILE PHOTO: Singh pointed out that in order to make the schemes a success, creation of a strong infrastructure and standardisation of price and quality will be essential.
NEW DELHI: The launch of gold schemes will deploy India's unutilised gold reserves effectively and help push economic growth while bringing down the current account deficit through lower imports of the metal, industry body Ficci said today.
"These policies are a step in the right direction and would allow for channelisation of the unutilized domestic gold reserves towards supporting the country's economic growth," Ficci Secretary General A Didar Singh said.
"The past few years have witnessed an exponential increase in gold imports exerting tremendous pressure on our current account. With the schemes being rolled out we should be able to reduce our gold imports," added Singh.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today launched three ambitious schemes to reduce the physical demand for gold and fish out 20,000 tonnes of the precious metal worth USD 800 billion lying idle with households.
The Gold Monetisation Scheme (GMS), 2015 will offer option to resident Indians to deposit their precious metal and earn an interest of up to 2.5 per cent; while under the Sovereign Gold Bonds Scheme, investors can earn an interest rate of 2.75 per cent per annum by buying paper bonds.
Modi also unveiled the first ever Indian gold coin and bullion, bearing national emblem Ashok Chakra on one side and Mahatma Gandhi's image engraved on the other side.
Initially, the coins will be available in denominations of 5 and 10 grams. A 20 gram bullion will also be available through 125 MMTC outlets.


Regular readers might remember that I first attempted to review Brewdog about three months ago, unsuccessfully as it happens. I came, I saw, I was told they couldn't even take orders for at least thirty minutes and I sodded off. To the Real Greek instead, in fact, where I had a surprisingly enjoyable meal with my friend Steve. He still messages me occasionally just to talk about sausage (the one at the Real Greek I should say, although I think Steve has a soft spot for most sausages, so to speak).
I decided I would leave Brewdog for another day when my frustration had subsided and I'd forgotten some of the faux wackiness which had slightly got my back up – the almost illegible menu and the zany pun-ridden dish names like "Hail Seitan" and "Clucky This Time". So I turned up with my old friend Mike on a Monday night to check it out, hoping for better luck this time.
Much was different from my last visit. In May, Brewdog had been open less than two months and there was still a huge buzz about the place. It had been fuller and louder, whereas going back now it was definitely a quieter proposition – although that might also be because I went on a Monday. Another difference was that last time I turned up on spec, whereas this time I had had already booked a table.
The site has a chequered history. It's been the Litten Tree, a properly purgatorial chain pub known to many Reading residents of a certain vintage as the "Shitten Tree". It's been RYND, with beautiful interiors, rock-hard cheap seating and bandwagon-chasing knock-off American barbecue food. And most recently it's been Public, a venue whose selling point – if you see this as a selling point – was to have board games, fussball tables and pool tables. I imagine the trendsetters went there but wouldn't have been seen dead in the Sun, on the opposite side of the road, with its thoroughly charming bar billiards table: nowhere near ironic enough.
RYND, for all its faults, did a beautiful job of exposing the brickwork and then Public cocked it all up with cheapo tiles and wood panelling, so it was lovely to see that Brewdog had restored the room to something like its former glory. The large central room does feel like a beer hall, with long tables and – no surprises here – industrial light fittings. I'd asked for a booth, and it would have been nice to have been seated at one of the ones in the main room to feel more like part of things, but instead they put us in the smaller area off to the left, very much the overflow car park of the restaurant.
On my last visit, poor Steve and I waited at our table in bewilderment for easily five minutes before realising that nobody was going to come to ask us what we wanted. At the time, I wrote this off as my mistake, thinking that Brewdog was far more like a pub than a restaurant. But another difference with this visit was that a very friendly, smiley waitress came over and asked us what we'd like to drink. I have no idea whether that's because it was quieter, or because we'd booked a table or for some other reason, and it slightly bugs me that I can't tell you which of my two visits was more representative.
The menu was, well, burgers and hot dogs. And two salads. I couldn't help thinking that Brewdog might have put more effort and imagination – albeit misplaced – into the names of the dishes than the dishes themselves. I had my eye on a burger from my extensive research – the "Jackpot", with its winning combination of black pudding, chorizo and blue cheese – but I was also determined to let Mike pick first. I'm lucky that people want to come out on duty with me, so I always try to make sure they aren't eating their second choice of starter or main.
"I quite fancy the 'Chipotle Chorizo'," said Mike, which made perfect sense: his mum is Spanish, after all.
My first choice of chicken burger would have been the "Buffalo Chicken", but we'd also decided to have some of the buffalo cauliflower, so I ended up going for the "Cluck Norris": southern fried chicken and avocado. I had a sneaking feeling I had picked the menu's equivalent of a chicken korma at this point, but the die was cast. Besides, why whinge about it to Mike when I could bide my time and instead complain to literally dozens of readers? Think of the delayed gratification, I told myself as I drank my pint.
I suppose I should at least attempt to talk about the beer, so here goes: there are a whole range of Brewdog beers on tap along with others in bottles and a range of other guest beers. Nearly everything crosses the five pound a pint Rubicon which, in fairness, probably stopped being any kind of meaningful threshold at some point last year; nowadays you just pay whatever they charge you and if you wince when they tell you how much your round is, you're either in the wrong place or pubs just aren't for you. The menu helpfully made suggestions about which beers paired well with each burger (Mike followed this advice, because he's that kind of person and I didn't, because I'm not).
Mike declared himself very satisfied with the Punk IPA and the Dead Pony, the latter specifically chosen to go with his burger. "They sell Brewdog on the continent", he told me (Mike spends most of the year swanning around Europe running coach tours: I like to think he's like a twenty-first century Robin Askwith, although the lack of stories of swordsmanship suggests this might be wishful thinking), "but it's really expensive over there." The punchline was left hanging in the air: I couldn't be bothered to claim it.
My beers, from the outer reaches of the list, were more interesting I thought, although that doesn't guarantee that my descriptions of them will be. I had a pint of Lighthouse by Windswept which I really liked, a "Kolsch style lager" (it means it's kind of German, apparently – you know, like the Royal Family) which was crisp, clean and just the right side of the dividing line between bland and delicate. The Windswept website says it's best enjoyed after abseiling or archery, which strikes me as a shame because it means I'll never get to enjoy it in optimum conditions: never mind, I'll live.
I followed it up with a pint of "#MashTag2018" which seems to be a beer that's part crowdsourced through polls every year. The 2018 version, which presumably was chosen by Russian bots, was infused with hibiscus and yuzu and I liked it a great deal; the sharp citrus added by the yuzu made it smarter than the average beer. Mike had a sip and decided to order a pint of himself after he'd lapped me. He then decided that it was more fun to sip a little of it than to wade through a pint of it, which I figured served him right. Karmic payback for stopping me hitting the Jackpot, perhaps.
The burgers at Brewdog cost between nine and ten pounds and fries (or sweet potato fries) are extra, so in terms of price it's probably largely on a par with Honest. It's taken me until this point in the review to mention the H word, but they were very much in my mind as I had my dinner because, for better or worse, 2018 is the year that they've become the benchmark for all burgers in this town.
Here's something you'll rarely hear me say: the problem with my chicken burger is that it had too much chicken. It's honestly true – the unremarkable-looking seeded brioche had two large coated chicken breasts in it. That might have been a dream come true if the coating had tasted of anything, but in fact it had almost no flavour at all. A real shame, because it looked the part and the texture was great, but in terms of taste it was like a mirage of KFC. This also meant that the whole thing was unbalanced because the things it really needed – the avocado, the coriander, the Cajun mayo – simply couldn't put up a fight against all that bland fried chicken. With proper coating, less chicken and more of the rest it could have been world-beating, but as it was I actually left some of it. A knife stuck needlessly out of the top, Excalibur-style, and I couldn't tell whether it was decoration or punishment.
Mike's "Chipotle Chorizo" was better, but still unspecial. The burger itself – very much cooked medium-well – was crumbly and dry and left me, again, thinking wistfully of Honest at the other end of town. The chorizo was by far the best thing in it – coarse, juicy and piquant – but the chipotle mayo didn't add a lot and the padron peppers felt a bit random. There was one in the burger and another impaled on top of the bun – that knife trick again. I felt like Mike had got the better deal, but only in terms of shades of meh. Speaking of meh, the fries were wan and disappointing, and I didn't have any desire to finish them all. Mike had upgraded to the sweet potato fries – they cost fifty pence extra – and this was money well spent, although probably money better spent would have involved not having fries at all.
The bright spot was the buffalo cauliflower, which we both agreed was quite the nicest thing we ate all evening. Big firm florets in a hot, sour glaze, and easily more interesting than the feature attraction, a scene-stealing bit part. But even this wasn't perfect – I liked the coating but I'd have liked it to be crunchier and stick to the cauliflower a bit better. And, when it came to it, we paid eight pounds for it, so it really wasn't much cheaper than the burgers. Perhaps by this point I'd just run out of magnanimity: it's distinctly possible. There was a vegan dip with it, which tasted like a photocopy of salad cream and might have appealed, if you were a vegan.
This is all getting a bit crotchety, isn't it? I should perhaps focus on the service because it was properly lovely. Our waitress (or, according to the bill, "server") was likeable and cheery without ever seeming fake or making us feel like miserable old shits, not that we needed any help in that department. Our bill for two came to just shy of sixty pounds, excluding service (and the menu, randomly, also gives you the option to buy a pint of Punk IPA for the kitchen: I'm not sure that would have improved matters, but it might have been worth giving it a whirl). At the time that didn't feel like a lot, but looking back it feels like money extracted somewhat by stealth.
It's probably obvious by now that Brewdog wasn't my bag at all, but what surprises me is that I honestly expected it to be better. It has a small menu and I thought sticking to a few things might mean they did them well, especially when you think about how considered their brand is and how much attention to detail they've put into the building, and the fit out. So it's disappointing that the food was so drab; if I wanted that kind of meal I'd go to Honest, and if I wanted that range of beer I'd walk slightly further out of town and make for the Nag's Head.
Of course, it's possible that Brewdog was aiming for the sweet spot on the Venn diagram where beer drinkers and food fans meet, but somehow I doubt it. It felt like the food was just there to tick a box rather than to properly complement the beer, and I found that a little sad. It felt a lot like a slightly less corporate Oakford Social Club, but when you strip away the beards the experience is much the same. What Brewdog really highlighted, for me, is one of the big gaps in the market left here in Reading. Since I Love Paella left the Fisherman's Cottage, punters have been left with a pretty stark choice: you can have a fantastic range of well-kept beer or you can have brilliant food, but – for now at least – you can't have both.
You can buy Brewdog beers in Seoul, too!

Political Lists > The Green List
Since 2015, the Green List has fought for a greener and more sustainable university. We have gained support for our focus on climate and environment in the universitys' strategy 2030 and for making SiO greener. We are a very committed group of students who want the University of Oslo to be in the driver's seat to solve the challenges we face today and in the future. Even though we are in a demanding pandemic that creates completely new and unforeseen challenges, we are still in a climate and environmental crisis. Green List believes that the UiO must be part of the solution to these challenges.
Green List believes that the UiO must give greater priority to the climate and environmental crisis, which requires hard work and innovation. In order for the university to follow up on what has been decided in strategy 2030, it is important, now more than ever, that the University of Oslo employs a climate and environmental manager for the entire institution. The Green List is running for election to foresee that the University cuts emissions. We know that it is difficult to break old habits, and therefore we need strong and clear leadership, to make sure that we have ambitious priorities and carry out the action needed to reach our goals. We in Green List know that we can achieve this by focusing on the right priorities, and by putting pressure on the institution.
Green List thinks it's high time that the campus becomes a greener, more social and more inclusive place. For example, UiO has many rooftops which are not properly taken advantage of, and therefore the Green List wishes to use these potensial green-areas to make social meeting points flourishing with both green life and people. We are also running for a more inclusive campus, which appreciates the diversity of people, and which takes care of all other life around us, in a welcoming environment.
Students live under high pressure, and services related to mental health should therefore be easily accessible. Students who are to be educated and partaking in creating a greener future therefore deserve adequate services that are available to them in times of need. A green student life should not be characterized by mental illness and stress. Therefore, Green List wants to cut the waiting time and deductible at SiO mental health, and move away from the school exam where this is appropriate, as has been done in the past year.
The last 6 years with the Green List's presence prove that voluntary work and student policy give results. We can see that our work pays off, and we will not give up. We have several good solutions, and are ready to work hard for the green shift to come to life. If you want to be part of a university that is a leader in the green shift, in a city that takes care of its students, then the Green List is the choice for you!
Top 5 issues

Former KNCB vice-chairman Lubbers steps into the fray
By Rod Lyall
As the KNCB's governance crisis continues to deepen, former vice-chairman (and former national captain) Steven Lubbers has stepped into the fray, launching an extraordinary attack on current chairman Jurgen Delfos in an interview with local Deventer newspaper De Stentor.
Dutch cricket is, according to Lubbers, threatening to collapse, with a coup being planned by the clubs from Den Haag to overthrow a Board which, in his view, has, apart from its new chairman, been functioning well.
Lubbers' version presents the conflict as being between a group of clubs who wish to undermine the KNCB's high performance strategy, vital to the Bond's financial welfare, and those who have been successfully pursuing a balanced policy between high performance and the recreational game.
Citing the poor preparation for the recent T20 World Cup, which led to the Netherlands' rapid ejection from the tournament, Lubbers blames 'the ambition-less style of chairman Delfos', rather than the man actually responsible for high performance until his recent resignation from the Board, vice-chairman Hans Mulder.
Nor does he draw attention to the fact that the budget for the current year, with its allocations for the national side and for the rest of high performance, was drawn up on the watch of Mulder and of Delfos' predecessor as chair, Betty Timmer; Delfos himself was only elected to the chair in April.
Equally, the paper makes no reference to the fact that Lubbers was Ms. Timmer's vice-chairman from 2015 to 2017, or that the origins of the current crisis lie not in high performance policy but in the Board's decision to dispense with the services of CEO Milena van Not after she had been in the post for just ten months.
According to KNCB secretary Robert Vermeulen, the grounds for that decision were that 'insufficient progress' had been made in the priority areas of growing the game, sponsorship and marketing, and 'optimalisation' of the KNCB's internal organisation.
It seems extraordinary to many that the Board found progress over the past ten months inadequate when cricket in the Netherlands has been in serious decline for more than 35 years, when successive Boards and CEOs have been unable to find major sponsors since ABN-AMRO pulled out in 2014, and when all sport has been severely disrupted by a global pandemic.
As Emerging Cricket reported on Monday, the clubs which called for the 1 December special general meeting, have identified no fewer than nine grounds for concern about the recent conduct of the present Board, not one of which can be legitimately presented as seeking to undermine the high performance area in favour of club cricket, in Den Haag or anywhere else.
They did, on the contrary, name the poor preparation of the national side for the T20 World Cup as one of those areas where the Board had fallen short.
Several others relate to what the clubs see as the Board's arbitrary dismissals of Ms. van Not and her predecessor Jaap Wals, and of media manager Amber de Groot, much of whose role was concerned with publicising the performances of the Dutch national sides.
There is also a good deal of concern about the establishment of the KNCB's wholly-owned subsidiary Cricket Nederland BV, and about the Board's appointment, without a formal selection process, of its first CEO, the same Ms. Timmer who until April combined the roles of KNCB chair and paid events manager of the BV.
None of this features in Lubbers' attack on Mr. Delfos or the 'stokers of unrest', the clubs who have ventured to challenge a Board which, under Ms. Timmer's leadership, appeared intent on setting up a rival structure, with its own CEO, to evade scrutiny by the member-clubs through the general meeting.
A working party on governance set up by Ms. Timmer and chaired by former KNCB chairman René van Ierschot had even recommended that all high performance matters, with the very substantial ICC funding they generate, be taken out of the hands of the KNCB and vested in the BV.
And when this was challenged by the clubs at the April general meeting, it was clear that while it was being withdrawn for the time being it remained on the table for future consideration.
As further evidence that those who were instrumental in the termination of Ms. van Not's contract were not intending to go quietly, Board member Barbera Boissevain e-mailed all clubs on Sunday, regretting the 'polarisation' afflicting the KNCB and claiming that the Board's actions had been taken as 'protector of the interests of the general meeting'.
She, too, made no mention of the decision regarding Ms. van Not, but complained about the breaking of collective responsibility for unspecified Board resolutions, and suggested that the crisis had now reached the point where it might be desirable to appoint 'an independent advisory committee (with a mountain of both national and international cricket experience), which could protect or take over the tasks of the Board'.
It increasingly appears that Dutch cricket is locked in a fight to the death between two irreconcilable positions, one of which wishes to keep ultimate responsibility for the game in the hands of the member clubs, as provided for in the KNCB constitution, and another which does not.
The author served on the Board of the KNCB between 2012 and 2016, and as Vice-chairman from December 2012 to June 2015.

Long May You Run by The Stills Young Band
Posted bywilfulsprinter Sep 14, 2020 Posted inMusicTags:Long May You Run, Neil Young, Steven Stills
I don't quite know why my parents sent me to Sunday School. They weren't particularly religious and they never got around to christening me. That's how my Dad put it when I asked him why I wasn't christened: "We never got round to it." It seems a bit of a strange answer. My sister was christened. My lack of initiation into the Church Of England meant that I could never be a godfather to my sister's two children. This was disappointing in one respect but at least it meant that I would never have to lie about ensuring that they were brought up in the Christian faith. Anyway, my parents sent me to Sunday School until I was seven years old at which point we moved from Bush Hill Park to Winchmore Hill. The new house was literally directly opposite a very grand church, St. Paul's and I only ever went into it once, with the school. However, whilst we were living in Bush Hill Park, they made me go St Stephen's Church in Park Avenue every Sunday. I made sure I had my thruppeny bit to put in the collection box every time I went. Apart from once. I got inside the Church Hall, realised I had forgotten my money and ran as fast as I could back to my parents who were still in the car. I'm not sure why they were still in their car but I can picture the scene very clearly now as I told them, through tears, that I didn't have the money. Why were they still in the car? I'm pretty sure they weren't going to church themselves. I was so upset, I refused to go back that day. Let's be honest, it wasn't really my fault that my parents had forgotten to give me the thruppence. The next week, I went again, making sure I had my money with me and an elderly lady saw me and said that she had seen me running out of the Church Hall the previous week. Had I come back? I lied. I told her I had when in fact I hadn't. Over sixty years later, I still remember that lie with shame.
Six years later, we had moved twice and were now living in Kent. I normally looked forward to Games lessons but at certain times of the year we were missold a lesson. Running aimlessly round a road for an hour or so wasn't my idea of a game. It was torture. Luckily, Andy and I felt the same way about it and so we ran as we left the school, walked for forty five minutes and ran back into school at the end. One day, as we were having a good chat about The Beatles, cricket and Fat Gut Tucker, a woman walked towards us, holding the hand of a young child. She pointed at me and said, very loudly, to the child "Oh! Isn't he tubby?" I had just revealed to Andy that my nickname in Winchmore Hill was "muckers". Luckily, Andy was (as he still is) not the type to ridicule someone or repeat a story that shows someone up in a poor light. Oh hang on, that's exactly what he loves doing. From that point on, everyone knew me as Tubby Muckers. Thanks a lot Bog Brush.
Despite having half a nickname which drew attention to my being overweight, I still enjoyed running, if I could see a purpose to it. Running between the wickets, running to cut off a four or running to receive a through pass and score a magnificent goal had a positive outcome and I was happy to run as fast as I could in those circumstances. Playing full back was slightly different. The key was to run really fast at the end when everybody was looking to see if I could make a last ditch tackle, putting my life in danger. So I had to be running really fast at the end to make it look as if I wasn't scared. The trick was to start slowly when nobody was looking at me and in that way it didn't look that bad when I just failed to get to the six foot eighteen stone Jonah Lomu lookalike in time.
A few times, leaving school at the end of the day, Keith Rose and I ran to catch a bus from Tonbridge to Tunbridge Wells and I normally beat him to it even though he was destined to become Head Boy. He repeated this to Mr. Knott, the sadistic Head of P.E. who then made me run round the running track to see if I was really as fast as he had been told. I sort of tried hard but couldn't really see any benefit to this. Presumably, if I was any good, I would be condemned to doing this instead of playing a game.
Fifteen years later I was playing cricket for Tye Green. My parents liked to drive up from Orpington to watch me play a couple of times a year and one year someone, possibly me, had the bright idea of inviting my Dad's three sisters along to watch a game. We batted first and I went out to bat with one of my team mates called Colin having made sure that Mum, Dad, Connie, Charlotte and Joyce all had seats on the boundary edge. At that point, their ages would have ranged from early sixties to early eighties. Colin was an excellent bat and we had a good understanding, trusting each other's running between the wickets implicitly. Besides, I was pretty fast. After I had compiled a slow but steady two runs, Colin called me for a ridiculous single, I lumbered ungraciously as fast as I could and I was run out by about four yards. I may be changing the story here to paint myself in the best possible light after suffering the indignity of hearing a collective groan from the boundary edge as the umpire's finger went up but at least none of my family ever spoke to Colin again, blaming him one hundred percent for my misfortune.
Twenty five years later I had just started playing cricket for Hassocks third team. One day I was pleased to ask to open the batting with someone called Neil who had a brilliant eye but not much technique. Whilst he scored 150, I scored 60. Our running between the wickets was memorable. He was in his early twenties and fit as a butcher's dog. I was in my fifties and probably weighed about seventeen stone. When we finally declared, my new team mates confessed that they had been expressing concern about which one of them would have to give me the kiss of life.
Long may I run.
Neil Young's relationship with Steven Stills, Graham Nash and David Crosby is very complex. Neil Young and Steven Stills were in Buffalo Springfield but Neil Young walked out on them twice. Crosby, Stills and Nash asked Neil Young to join them, they played at Woodstock but Neil Young refused to be on the film. When they all convened to record the follow up to "Deja Vu", Neil Young vanished after a couple of days. In 1976, Neil Young suggested to Steven Stills that the two of them record some songs together. When they had finished, they invited David Crosby and Graham Nash to listen. They all agreed that the songs needed all four of them singing so David Crosby and Graham Nash added harmonies. Later, when David Crosby and Graham Nash had left to mix their own album, Neil Young wiped all their vocals off. What was left is this album, "Long May You Run".
The album is, in my opinion, unfairly criticised. It features the excellent title track, an homage to Neil Young's first car. The final verse is utterly charming. "Maybe The Beach Boys have got you now with those waves singing "Caroline No". Rolling down that empty ocean road, getting to the surf on time." It's a ridiculously lovely catchy Neil Young song. The live performance below would suggest that even after fifteen years Graham Nash and Steven Stills haven't forgiven Neil Young, who doesn't give a damn. Good to see the four close friends/musicians practising social distancing though.
"Fontainebleau" is also lovely and has some excellent Neil Young electric guitar. The harmonies are good and I guess we are just left to imagine what they could have sounded like if Graham Nash and David Crosby's voices had been left on.
The other songs are good. "Let It Shine" sounds like it could have fitted easily onto "Zuma", "Ocean Girl" has a particularly excellent guitar, piano and whiny vocal from Neil Young, "Midnight On the Bay" reminds me of "Love Is A Rose" and the four Steven Stills songs are competent seventies rock songs – I particularly like "Make Love To You" which seems like a companion piece to "Love The One You're With".
The album is not a highlight of either Neil Young's or Steven Stills' career but there are some good songs and the title track is excellent. My running days are long gone but Neil Young's career seems to show no signs of slowing down. He has the following releases scheduled: "The Times" (September 2020), "Return To Greendale" (November 2020), a mammoth boxset called "Archives Volume 2" (November 2020), "Way Down In The Rust Bucket" (December 2020), "Young Shakespeare" (January 2021) and "Eldorado" (possibly a release of the Japan/Australia only release from 1989) (March 2021). Long may he run.

Tory uses library improvements to sell budget
Updated: February 12, 2018 8:11 AM EDT
Toronto Mayor John Tory and and Budget Chief Gary Crawford (R) were at Cedarbrae library in Scarborough - near Lawrence Ave. E. and Markham Rd. - announcing the City Budget has earmarked and will be investing $182 million in the Toronto Public Library, including opening nine additional library branches on Sunday February 11, 2018.

Mayor John Tory highlighted the city's planned library improvements Sunday as he promoted this year's budget which comes up for approval this week.
With debate scheduled to start on Monday, Tory described this year's financial blueprint as "balanced" and "affordable."
Critics argue the $16.9-billion combined operating, capital and rate-based budget is a left-winger's dream, calling for the city to spend millions more for low-income transit fares, additional spaces in recreational programs and to boost child care services and poverty reduction efforts. They say the budget is 3.6% higher than last year and more than the rate of inflation.
Tory has countered the budget will help make Toronto a more livable city, insisting it holds the line on taxes, invests in city services and adds new ones.
Tory said if this year's budget is approved, there will be $182 million invested in the Toronto Public Library system, including the opening of nine additional branches on Sundays.

"We are choosing to invest in people by bringing library access into neighbourhoods which need it most," Tory said at the Cedarbrae branch library in Scarborough.
"The library is about making sure everyone in Toronto has access, opportunity and connections."
Expanding library services is meant to support the city's poverty reduction efforts. If approved by city council, the budget will ensure the following libraries are open on Sundays: Burrows Hall, Eglinton Square, Jane/Dundas, Morningside, Sanderson, St. James Town, Steeles, Thorncliffe and Weston.
This will bring the total number of branches that are open on Sundays to 42.


Initially, the White River was a popular smallmouth fishery, but when the dams were built in the 1950's it became a cold-water habitat and the smallmouth population started to decline. To pacify the smallmouth anglers, they stocked it with trout and the results were amazing. Almost immediately monster brown trout started being caught out of the White River. Today the White River is still world famous for it's trophy German Browns. Every year people from all over the country, and the world for that matter, make the pilgrimage to Arkansas for a chance at one of those famous White River browns.

Author: Lisa Manzione The Bella and Harry series of children's books is Lisa Manzione's first foray into children's fiction writing. As a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), Lisa's entrance into the field of literature is one she has eagerly awaited and is very passionate about. As the daughter of a single parent who worked for a major airline, Lisa's exposure to (and interest in) travel began at an early age. Later in life, as Lisa's own children grew up and her love of animals continued, the idea for the Bella and Harry series was born. Illustrator: Kristine Lucco Born in rural Pennsylvania, Kristine's passion for art began at a young age. This interest in art continued and ultimately led Kristine to study at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. Now a mother of two avid junior readers, Kristine's unique talent and particular flair for children's themes has evolved quite naturally into the world of children's books and illustrations. She is quick to credit her own children for inspiring this phase of her art, as it is often conceived by seeing the characters and places through their eyes. In addition to her work on the Bella and Harry series, Kristine has also illustrated the most recently recognized children's book, "Wacky Jacky, The True Story of an Unlikely Beauty Queen".

Effective workplace communication and interpersonal relationships with co-workers are considered as a critical elements in maintaining a happy working environment. Many of the "soft skills" required in a typical environment place value on small talk, eye contact, body language, socialising, being confident, and being yourself. This places enormous stress upon autistic and neurodivergent people, that can leave them feeling confused, challenged, and anxious at having to navigate the multitude of workplace social nuances. This can result in alienation, misunderstandings, and potential job loss.
This presentation provides valuable insights, tools and strategies on how to navigate the workplace social expectations, implement inclusive practices and adopt collaborative approaches for autistic and neurodivergent people, co-workers, workplace supervisors and management, employers, employment agencies, parents, teachers and support staff.
Presentation slides and handouts will be provided prior to the event.
