Home / For Residents & Fellows / GME Programs / Fellowship Programs / Hematopathology Fellowship / Curriculum
Hematopathology Rotations - 1 Block = 4 Weeks
Lymphoma – 0.5 Block
The fellow will be involved in Lymphoma diagnosis in Core I, II, and III. The fellow will guide the residents and pathologist assistants who are involved in grossing these specimens. The fellow will competently use ancillary techniques requisite for diagnosis, based on the clinical history, morphologic evaluation and amount of specimen available for evaluation. The fellow will select and order the ancillary techniques to be performed in the evaluation of in-house and consultation cases with support of the attending on service during sign-out.
There is a spectrum of reactive lymphoid hyperplasia and hematolymphoid malignancies encountered in surgical specimens. For each disorder, the fellow will apply the pathologic diagnostic criteria, including optimal ancillary techniques that will support each diagnosis and the associated clinical features. The basic knowledge on each disorder (adequate reading references will be provided) and literature review on the latest issues discussed on the same will be expected. The cases will be discussed with the staff hematopathologist at sign-out and a log of the cases seen will be maintained by the fellow.
The fellow will write accurate, succinct pathology reports that incorporate the results of morphologic evaluation and ancillary techniques with support of the hematopathologist. The fellow will communicate with the clinicians in regards to pertinent clinical information required for diagnosis and provide verbal communication or results, especially of urgent/unexpected findings and the clinical significance of the diagnosis. The fellow will go through study sets that include spectrum of reactive lymphadenopathies and B and T cell lymphomas.
Core I – 2 Blocks
In Core I the fellow will learn techniques of bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. Acquisition of bone marrow specimens is under the direction of the Clinical Hematology section of the Department of Medicine, through which the fellow will be provided the opportunity to learn aspiration and biopsy techniques on patients.
The fellow will rotate through the General Hematology Laboratory. Didactic sessions will be given to address the basic principles of cellular hematology, automated hematology analyzers and automated/manual differential counts. The fellow will review CBC and differential counts in the context of peripheral blood smear and bone marrow specimen evaluation during the course of bone marrow evaluation. As part of general hematology laboratory rotation, the fellow will learn principles of Wright-Giemsa staining and tissue fixation and will become familiar with trouble shooting stain questions (for the optimal evaluation of peripheral blood and bone marrow specimens).
Bone marrow evaluation requires the information of clinical features, diagnostic criteria and the use of optimal ancillary techniques in arriving at the diagnosis. The fellow is responsible for obtaining clinical history, limited physical examination, clinical consultations in the form of written and telephone follow-ups as appropriate. This will include daily review with clinical hematologists, daily sign-out of cases, presentation at regular conferences and ad hoc consultations.
The fellow will, with the support of staff hematopathologists, utilize the ancillary techniques of cytochemical stains, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, molecular pathology, cytogenetics, fluorescence in-situ hybridization in a diagnostically efficient, cost-effective manner based on morphologic differential diagnosis.
The fellow will become proficient in understanding the clinical features and pathologic features of the main categories of hematologic disease include acute and chronic myeloid disorders, lymphoid disorders, plasma cell proliferative disorders and reactive hematologic conditions. Review of cases will require basic knowledge data base (adequate reading references will be provided) and review of literature that discusses the latest pertinent issues relating to the disorder will be expected. The cases will be discussed with the staff hematopathologist at sign-out and a log of the cases seen will be maintained by the fellow.
During the core rotation, the fellow will review a select number of peripheral blood smears each day with the staff hematopathologist. Smear reviews for pathologists are either generated by technologists for review of unexpected findings ("internal"), or if processed due to requests from clinicians ("external"). The fellow will be the primary contact person for the clinical laboratory technologists for questions that arise during the bone marrow rotation.
During the core rotation, the fellow will review body fluid cases each day with the signing out hematopathologist and correlate findings with those that are associated with a concurrent cytology report.
During the core rotation, the fellow will preview hemoglobinopathy evaluations before sign-out with the hematopathologist. Using common electrophoresis techniques such as cellulose acetate electrophoresis and citrate agar electrophoresis, the fellow will become proficient in the diagnosis of common hemoglobin variants such as HbS, HbC and HbE. The fellow will learn the principles of specialized techniques used in reference labs, such as isoelectric focusing, globin chain electrophoresis, DNA sequencing and their appropriate utilization. The rare variants are sent to reference labs for further evaluation, and the fellow will review these results on their return.
Fellow will apply the use of electrophoresis and immunofixation in the examination of proteins and assessment of monoclonal proteins in plasma cell disorders and lymphoproliferative disorders. Fellow will write up reports in this context.
The fellow will participate in teaching residents the basic principles of hematology. The fellow will present cases in the hematopathology conference/tumor board where clinicians, hematopathologists, cytogeneticists and molecular pathologists meet to discuss clinical cases.
The fellow, with support of the attending hematopathologist, will gross specimens received for hematologic malignancies. The fellow will also guide the residents and pathologist assistants who are involved in grossing these specimens. The fellow will competently use ancillary techniques requisite for diagnosis, based on the clinical history, morphologic evaluation and amount of specimen available for evaluation.
There is a spectrum of reactive lymphoid hyperplasia and hematolymphoid malignancies encountered in surgical specimens. For each disorder, the fellow will apply the pathologic diagnostic criteria, including optimal ancillary techniques that will support each diagnosis and the associated clinical features. The basic knowledge on each disorder (adequate reading references will be provided) and literature review on the latest issues discussed on the same will be expected. The cases will be discussed with the staff hematopathologist at sign-out and a log of the cases seen will be maintained by the fellow. The fellow will be expected to actively participate in the weekly hematopathology conference, explaining the diagnoses of key cases diagnosis and reviewing pertinent current literature.
Core II – 3 Blocks
During Core II, the fellow will be expected to build on knowledge and skill levels gained in Core I and take on the added responsibility of flow cytometry. The fellow will receive a general introduction to the instrumentation and theoretical and practical aspects of surface and cytoplasmic phenotyping, DNA content analysis, and CD34 quantitation of stem cell collections during the two week flow cytometry rotation which will be scheduled before the start of Core II.
Lymphomas and leukemias are routinely analyzed by flow cytometry. Flow results are then discussed in the context of morphology and enzyme cytochemistries during bone marrow and lymph node sign-outs with the hematopathologist. Flow phenotyping is also discussed at weekly hematology/pathology conferences, where most recent hematologic malignancies are presented for review and clinical discussion.
During Core II, the fellow retrieves and reviews all flow cytometry studies relating to submitted cases and discusses the interpretation with the covering staff. As skills develop, fellows write interpretive reports which are then discussed with senior staff before sign-out. The fellow can assume management of the clinical laboratory, becoming the first line in deciding whether flow cytometry is appropriate to the analysis of new specimens sent to the lab, and which panels should be utilized. The fellow can also serve as consultant to clinicians who call regarding specimen requirements, appropriate studies or interpretation of results.
Core III – 3 Blocks
During Core II, the fellow will be expected to build on knowledge and skill levels gained in Core I and take on the added responsibility of coagulation and consults. The fellow will learn to perform screening tests, factor assays, factor inhibitor assays, platelet aggregation studies during a two week coagulation rotation which will be scheduled before the beginning of Core III.
The mixing studies (MS) and thrombosis screens (TS) are reviewed by the faculty. The fellow will participate, along with the hematopathologist, in choosing appropriate tests for the MS and TS studies based on the clinical history and will be involved in signing out these cases with the Director, through Core III. The fellow will be encouraged to see patients with bleeding and coagulation disorders. They will also attend the conference dedicated to these disorders (once a month).
Laboratory Genomics I - 0.5 Block
The fellow rotates through the cytogenetics section of the CGAT laboratory to learn and obtain practical experience in the processing and analysis of blood, bone marrow, and other tissue samples for acquired chromosomal abnormalities. The fellow will participate in culture setups, harvesting, and slide preparation, staining, and/or hybridization. He/she will participate in scoring of FISH results and their interpretation. FISH exposure will include an overview of the panel testing performed at DHMC, rationale behind panel design, special processing such as cell enrichment protocols, and interpretive pitfalls.
The fellow will have the opportunity to prepare a karyotype from beginning to finish, and will also review existing prints representing normal and abnormal complements to learn morphology and banding characteristics of each human chromosome. Cases with abnormal karyotypes are used in discussions with the laboratory Director/Supervisor to learn about the significance of abnormal chromosome findings in congenital and acquired diseases. While hematologic neoplasm testing is currently not analyzed by chromosomal microarray at our institution, at least once during part 1 of the rotation, the fellow will be required to observe a complete specimen batch workflow through to sign-out for exposure to this technology.
The fellow reviews the clinical history of patients referred for cytogenetic analysis during the weeks on service and will have discussion/didactic sessions as these cases are signed out. There is set of articles/chapters on basic genetics, molecular genetics, clinical cytogenetics and cytogenetic techniques for the fellow to read during the rotation in order to learn/refresh the principles of cytogenetic testing. The fellow will review the CAP checklist for cytogenetic laboratory inspections and the recent challenges in the CAP proficiency surveys.
Laboratory Genomics II - 0.5 Block
The fellow rotates through the molecular laboratory for instruction in the basic techniques of DNA isolation and quantification, capillary electrophoresis, traditional and real time polymerase chain reaction, and DNA sequencing. Prior to rotating through to the wet-lab, the fellow will participate in hematopathology-related genetics didactics and case sign-outs with the CGAT molecular faculty member on service. Observation of the technical component of the workflow for any given assay must follow and be within a professional interpretive context.
The testing focus for this block will cover hematopathology-related molecular singleplex assays, though assays for non-hematologic diseases will also be reviewed if the underlying technologic basis for the assay has broad practical application. The broad array of well-characterized pathogenic mutations associated with hematologic illnesses will be covered, as well as established testing methodologies used in the treatment or monitoring of hematologic illness (i.e., chimerism analysis, B- and T-cell clonality analysis, etc). Exposure to massively parallel sequencing and other newer/emerging technologies will be expressly covered in part three of their overall rotation. The fellow will also participate in esoteric molecular genetic testing send-out utilization review with the molecular pathology fellows, attend utilization-review/prior-authorization conference, and become familiarized with specialized software/workflows to help expedite this process. The fellow will also be expected to field and resolve all questions regarding hematologic molecular testing.
An extensive collection of books, manuals and journal articles are available for study of basic principles and specific diseases. Disease oriented didactic sessions will be scheduled at the beginning of the block, and sign-out sessions individually scheduled with the faculty member on-service. At the end of this block, the fellow will provide a 30 minute 'journal club'-style presentation/discussion on a timely/relevant topic for the CGAT technical-staff.
Laboratory Genomics III - 0.5 Block
The fellow will continue their rotation through the CGAT laboratories, with particular focus on massively parallel sequencing technologies, other newer/emerging technology, test utilization, and exposure to specific resources to aid in the interpretation of new/less-well-established/potentially-pathologic gene variants. If the fellow developed a particular interest or would like additional exposure to topics from the first two blocks, this may also potentially be scheduled on an individual basis. Again, prior to rotating through to the wet-lab, the fellow will participate in hematopathology-related genetics didactics and case sign-outs with the CGAT molecular faculty member on service. Observation of the technical component of the workflow for any given assay must follow and be within a professional interpretive context.
The fellow will be exposed to the workflow for both the wet- and dry-bench portions of 'next-generation' sequencing (NGS). While multiple NGS assays are offered at DHMC, the trainee's contact will be focused mostly on hematopathology-related gene sequencing panels as the prototype for didactics. Time will also be scheduled with the CGAT faculty member on-service for sign-outs and/or technical observation as they pertain to new/emerging technologies. The fellow will also participate in esoteric molecular genetic testing send-out utilization review with the molecular pathology fellows, attend utilization-review/prior-authorization conference, and becoming more familiar with this process. The fellow will also be expected to field and resolve all questions regarding hematologic molecular testing.
An extensive collection of books, manuals and journal articles are available for study of basic principles and specific diseases. ACMG/CAP guidelines for molecular diagnostic testing will also be reviewed. Disease oriented didactic sessions will be scheduled at the beginning of the block, and sign-out sessions individually scheduled with the faculty member on-service. No presentation/discussion will be required at the conclusion of this block, however the fellow may be asked to participate in a small molecular genetic testing workflow-improvement project for the hematopathology section.
Coagulation – 0.5 Block
The coagulation rotation will include a two week rotation through the coagulation section of the hematology laboratory. The fellow will learn to perform screening tests, factor assays, factor inhibitor assays, platelet aggregation studies.
Flow Cytometry – 0.5 Block
This experience in flow cytometry includes a general introduction to the instrumentation and theoretical and practical aspects of surface and cytoplasmic phenotyping, DNA content analysis, and CD34 quantitation of stem cell collections. Lymphomas and leukemias are routinely analyzed by flow cytometry. Flow results are then discussed in the context of morphology and enzyme cytochemistries during bone marrow and lymph node sign-outs with the hematopathologist. Flow phenotyping is also discussed at weekly hematology/pathology conferences, where most recent hematologic malignancies are presented for review and clinical discussion. During the two week rotation in flow cytometry, the fellow reviews with the supervisor/technologists the instruments in the lab, and, for each type of assay, the mechanics of specimen preparation, the actual running of specimens, and their preliminary analysis.
The fellow subsequently observes the second level of analysis performed on list mode data, utilizing the offline workstations within the flow laboratory. He/she then discusses the interpretation of results and final report with the laboratory director or covering staff physician. A syllabus of learning objectives and relevant articles on the theory and practice of clinical flow cytometry is available in the lab for review, in addition to the laboratory manual.
Research – 1 Block
Fellows will develop academic skills by completing at least one clinicopathologic study. All fellows are expected to conceive, plan, execute, analyze, and write up an original research project. These are projects of the fellows' development, not just participations in ongoing faculty projects. These projects are expected to result in both an abstract submission for presentation at a national meeting, as well as manuscript submission for publication.

A few years ago Rich Buceta was a New York digital advertising executive with a homebrewing habit and a stellar collection of Les Paul guitars. In 2011 that all changed when Rich decided to make brewing a full-time endeavor. Rich spent a year interning with Greenpoint Beer Works (the Clinton Hill Brewery where Kelso and Heartland brew their beers) to learn the ins and outs of the craft brew industry. Meanwhile he sold off his prized collection of guitars to generate the capital to open his own beer establishment. In 2012 he opened SingleCut Beersmiths, named for the guitars that had been sacrificed for the making of great beer.
This past weekend we ventured up to Astoria to check out SingleCut Beersmiths ourselves and were quite pleased with what we found--all the trappings of a modern beer hall. SingleCut, which hosted a small, 4-tap tasting room when they first opened, now serves 13 taps, a full food menu, and has five times its original seating capacity. The space is large and open with high ceilings, low lighting, and a suiting industrial vibe. With a large garage door in the front, rum barrels for aging beer lining the walls of the tasting room, and large steel tanks just visible in the room beyond, you never forget the fresh brews on which your sipping were concocted in the other room.
Start your flight with the "Jan" Olympic Gold Lager coming in at a 5.4% ABV (that's alcohol by volume, folks). SingleCut focuses on developing unique largers, a style often overlooked by beer geeks, and their innovation is well played in this wheat lager brewed with orange zest, pink peppercorns, and coriander. The result is an aroma of fresh cut grass and lemons, and an herbal citrus taste that makes you feel like it's spring, in your mouth at least.
Move on to the "Bon" TNT Pale Ale with a 5.2% ABV and dry hopped with Aussie and New Zealand hops that give it an aroma of overly ripe mangoes that carry over to a tropical flavor with a pleasantly bitter aftertaste.
Next get your malt on with the "Dean" PNW Mahogany Ale (an ABV of 6%). The aroma is of toasted toffee and caramel from the malts, balanced nicely on the tongue with dry and piney hops.
For your fourth beer move on to the big guns, but you have options. Decide how big you want to go by selecting your iteration of their "Billy" IPA. All are deliciously hopped, with heady fruit aromas and the strong flavor of dank pine and fierce citrus notes. The "Billy" Half-Stack is pitched as such: "Crank the hops to the point right before taste buds bleed… if it's too hoppy, you're too old." At 6.8% ABV it's a big beer and hoppy all right, but I of course recommend going all the way with the "Billy" Full-Stack, an imperial IPA that pushes the hops even further and has an 8.6% ABV.
Round out your tasting with a real kick with the "John Michael" Rum Barrel Aged Dark Lyric Lagrrr! (7.4%)–another prime example of a boundary-pushing lager. This guy has been aged for over a year in rum barrels, quite the move as whiskey barrels are currently en vogue for folks looking to age their brews, then rounded out with the addition of a little milk stout, which I wrote about a few weeks ago. The result is a decadent brew with a strong aroma of rum tempered by coffee notes from the stout. Likewise tastes heavily of rum and vanilla rounded out with a rich, bready maltiness. Rumor has it this one will be on tap soon at Dear Bushwick as well.
Note that each beer is named for some of rocks finest guitarists, but SingleCut's love of music is carried on beyond the naming of the establishment and it's beer. Most of the staff are musicians and in the spring and summer rock, folk, and bluegrass bands play every Friday night in a lofted space above the tasting room. Much of this music features features SingleCut employees including Bandsaw, Rich's band who will play on April 11th. The music sessions start April 4th with the band Green Gallows in which two of its bartenders play.
You can find SingleCut beers on tap throughout Bushwick at Tandem, Dear Bushwick, Hops and Hocks, and The Sampler to name a few. It's sure to be nice and fresh because SingleCut currently opts out of going through a beer distributor, which allows them to prevent their kegs from sitting on the shelf before delivering. But we recommend taking advantage of the next sunny day and making the trek to Queens to taste them on-site in their element with rock tunes playing in the background and good beer people drinking all around.
SingleCut Beersmiths gets 4/5 stars – 2 for their tasty and creative brews, 1 for serving good food to soak up the alcohol, 1 for their backstory and incorporation of music into their identity, and 1 for being causal, clever, and entirely focused on the beer, everything a brewery should be.
SingleCut Beersmiths is located in Astoria, Queens at 19-33 37th St, just North of 20th Ave, a short walk from the final stop on the N or the Q. They are open Thurs 4pm-11pm, Fri 4pm-1am, Sat 1pm-1am, and Sun 1pm-8pm. They have tours every Sat at 3 and 7pm and Sun at 4pm. They also fill growlers to go!


She said that I had always been a "thankful" child. It was not uncommon for me ask her for postage stamps so that I could send "thank you" notes to people who had sent me something. My mother also said I had a "gift of gab," so I guess this spilled over into my written correspondence as well.
It's safe to say that I love to write "thank you" cards even to this very day (and now with technological advancements, "THANK YOU" text messages are amongst my absolute favs!).
A passion for "thanking" everyone for everything has naturally morphed into Thanksgiving becoming my all-time favorite holiday.
Before reading any further, might I remind you that this is the "no judgment zone." The thoughts, ideas, and opinions shared here, are solely my own observations.
Over the years, I've observed Thanksgiving being "swept under the rug" …per sey. It is overshadowed, overrun, and just plain BURIED under the billions of dollars spent on Halloween candy and masks, which are then immediately followed by Santa and sleighs.
Where does Thanksgiving fall within all of this commercialized craziness?
….typically, it's tossed up, baked, and served within an eight-hour period of time, the fourth Thursday in November. It usually consists of an average 4,500 calories, followed by much-needed "food coma" induced nap.
A condensed version of Turkey Day? A little dramatic or over-the-top?
Perhaps. But considering the time, money, and media coverage geared toward cashing in on the money-making holidays vs. promoting and encouraging behavior that supports the theme of this day, it may be more fair to say that Thanksgiving has actually been SHOVED under the rug and then invited to peer out for a few hours around a beautifully decorated table and a side of cranberry sauce.
Besides the commercials selling baked-to-perfection rolls, where is the month(s) long preparation, recognition, and media coverage for this holiday?
Why is the meaning and spirit of this holiday not more publicized, promoted, and encouraged?
I hope my observations and opinions aren't misinterpreted as classic cynicism. Rest assured that when it comes to holiday celebration, I am usually first in line.
Truth be told, I am an "all-year" holiday shopper. It's not uncommon for my husband to find presents and "go-to" gifts stuffed under my bed, in my drawers, and tucked (okay, shoved) in my closets. I may (or may not) be categorized as a borderline hoarder.
I think where my disgust bubbles over is when a holiday that focuses on "thanks" and "giving" becomes secondary (or third-ary) to revenue producing holidays.
I give you: #30daysofthanksgiving. What is this, you ask?
It's exactly what the hashtag says: 30 DAYS OF THANKSGIVING.
#30daysofthanksgiving makes a concerted effort to BE, SAVOR, and VERBALIZE true gratitude for the blessings we enjoy, (not just on one day), but…every day!
Picture this…I saunter my way into the bathroom to brush my pearly whites. My thoughts are jumping from one to the next faster than I can keep up. Somehow with all this mental noise, I successfully put toothpaste on my toothbrush and I'm happily scrubbing plaque when my toothbrush jabs into the side of my mouth.
OUCH!!! My leap-frog thoughts are immediately halted.
I pull that green toothbrush out of my mouth and before I can feel irritated, I immediately feel overwhelming gratitude for the opportunity and blessing of actually having a toothbrush.
Why, you ask? Come on..admit it. We've all had times without a toothbrush, leaving us to "finger-brush" our teeth. After 24 hours, how GRATEFUL are you to run a toothbrush over those grit-infested choppers?
So…what do I do with this new-found appreciation? I recognize it. I savor it. Most importantly, I verbalize it.
I can celebrate THANKSGIVING, right there while brushing my teeth. Where is the media when you need them? This is TOTALLY news-worthy!
This is a true story. And my sincere gratitude for something as simplistic as a toothbrush actually shifted my whole attitude. My energy was lighter and my words were more kind. Overall, I was in a much better mood than I was before I sauntered into the bathroom, and this toothbrush gratitude was contagious to both my husband and our kiddos.
#30daysofthanksgiving is an opportunity to re-train your brain into a habit of gratitude. It aligns you with the present moment. I invite you to join us in "Celebrating Thanksgiving" for the next 30 days.
WARNING: This invitation could be contagious and may change your life….if you let it.
THANK YOU for reading…and THANK YOU for joining the #30daysofthanksgiving.

Net Neutrality Advocates Gearing Up for July 12 Day of Protest Against FCC Reversal
Casey Ryan
WASHINGTON, July 6, 2017 - A range of advocates for net neutrality gathering under the banner of Fight for the Future have teamed up to host an online protest, "Internet-Wide Day of Action to Save Net Neutrality" on Wednesday, July 12.
Reddit and Public Knowledge are among the more than 100 companies and advocacy organizations that have agreed to join the protest.
On July 12, the participating organizations' websites will put an alert on their homepages that purports to "show the world what the web will look like without net neutrality."
They will choose from several difference advocacy messages with differing texts, such as telling users the website has been blocked or asking users to upgrade their internet service plan.
The advocacy website argues that the internet has been successful because of net neutrality, which makes the internet a place for creativity, free expression and exchange of ideas. Without net neutrality, it argues that the internet will become more like cable television where the content is restricted to what the provider decides to show.
The group has mobilized in opposition to the proposal by Federal Communications Commissioner Chairman Ajit Pai to reverse the Obama administration FCC's classification of broadband internet access service as a utility regulated under Title II of the Communications Act.
"We all rely on dependable broadband access in our daily lives, and our efforts with our allies here will be just one step in our vigilant efforts to defend this most essential platform for innovation, economic progress and democratic discourse," said Kate Forscey, associate policy counsel at Public Knowledge.
"This action will provide a glimpse into what could happen if Chairman Pai's plan becomes reality -- where the gatekeeper broadband companies control access with impunity."
"Reddit is proud to join forces with our community on the day of action on July 12," said Melissa Tidwell, general counsel of Reddit. "We have always been strong advocates for net neutrality, and we will communicate that to all relevant agencies and Congress."
The American Civil Liberties Union is also joining the protest. When asked about it, Thomas Dresslar, media relations associate for ACLU, said the event was not a protest, even though the website refers to itself as a protest.
Speaking of Pai's proposed reversal of the public utility regulation, ACLU said that it "would be devastating to civil rights organizations and activists, who can't afford to pay corporations to make their voices heard. The internet has been a vital tool for scrappy campaigns and movements, but they may not have enough resources to survive in Chairman Pai's pay-to-play model."

Lankford, Dorothy G. (Mrs. Frank C.)
Mother was born on June 22, 1912 in Illinois. She was the younger of two daughters. As a small child growing up, she would stand in the window and cry until someone took her to church on Sundays. She moved to little Rock, Arkansas when she was 13. This move came about after her father's untimely death. It was in Little Rock that she met Frank C. Lankford. Mother was a promising artist whose creative works were displayed occasionally in MacArthur Park. After their marriage, my parents moved to Louisiana. This was to become their home for the remainder of their lives. Along with Dad, Mother accepted the call into a life of ministry. This ministry, for the most part, took place in the southern part of Louisiana. A devoted wife and mother, she spent the vast majority of her life giving of herself to others. In addition to a supportive and charitable life in the ministry, Mother found time to be extremely active in Civil Defense during World War II and in the PTA during the growing years of both of her surviving children. (Tragedy darkened her life, resulting in the loss of three children. Thus, George and I are the only two of five who survived.) Although the ministry kept my parents on the move, Mother maintained her membership in the Order of the Eastern Star in Monroe, Louisiana. In addition to her children, Mother is survived by four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
It was Mother's last request that she be buried in a manner similar to that in which she lived. She never wanted recognition or praise for what she did for others. She never liked to have a "big fuss" made over her. Her funeral was a simple gravesite committal. Like Dad, her passing was quiet and uneventful, but her works will live on forever in the lives she touched. She will be greatly missed.

Q: AutoResizeLimit for Cloud SQL How can I set AutoResizeLimit when creating a Cloud SQL MySQL instance?
The GCP API defines it here: https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql/admin-api/v1beta4/instances
The terraform provider has disk_autoresize, which is a boolean:
https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/google/r/sql_database_instance.html#disk_autoresize
But, there is no attribute to set the auto_resize_limit.

A: A way to create a Cloud SQL instance with auto_resize_limit is to create it directly with querying an API e.g. with cURL and setting storageAutoResizeLimit.
The query should look like this:
ACCESS_TOKEN="$(gcloud auth application-default print-access-token)"
curl --header "Authorization: Bearer ${ACCESS_TOKEN}" \
     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     --data '{"name":"[INSTANCE_NAME]", "region":"[REGION]",
              "settings": {"tier":"[MACHINE_TYPE]",
              "storageAutoResizeLimit":[SIZE],
              "backupConfiguration": {"binaryLogEnabled":true, "enabled":true}}}' \
     -X POST \
     https://www.googleapis.com/sql/v1beta4/projects/[PROJECT-ID]/instances

Note that storageAutoResize is set to True by default.

Beyonc\u00e9's first 'Lion King' song has fans feeling the love
It's only fleeting, but if the new teaser ad for Disney's "The Lion King" remake is anything to go by, the soundtrack featuring Beyoncé and Donald Glover is going to be stunning.
The superstar pair — who play Nala and Simba, respectively, in the CGI redo of the 1994 animated film — croon just 30 seconds of a harmonious version of the Elton John/Tim Rice song "Can You Feel The Love Tonight?"
Fans of Beyoncé, 37, and Glover, 35, are already freaking out online about the duet which, like the movie's other classics such as "Hakuna Matata" and "Circle of Life," has been kept under wraps so far.
"Whoaaaaa!!! After hearing that, I'm still not ready!!!! Her voice sounds so pretty and tender. So angelic and vulnerable!!!! Wow!!!!!" tweeted one admirer of the "Lemonade" singer.
Another gushed: "I CAN'T EVEN DEAL WITH THIS RIGHT NOW!"
"The Lion King" is due to open on July 19, but there's been no word on details of the soundtrack or a release date for the album.
Belting out pop ballads is something of a departure for Glover, who is better known for his Childish Gambino rapper skills.

Can You Ever Forgive Me? finally gives Melissa McCarthy the dramatic vehicle she deserves

Yes, Melissa McCarthy was great in Bridesmaids. But ever since, she's been stuck in a uniquely Hollywood purgatory: She's a well-paid movie star who regularly top-lines films that open in the top 10 at the domestic box office. But she's not the highest-paid movie star either, and her films rarely receive accolades. (Her last attempt at more serious fare, 2014's St. Vincent, garnered a few nominations but no big wins.) McCarthy is a steady workhorse in an industry that prizes mercurial show ponies. And while she's famous now, the spotlight is never guaranteed—especially not for women over the age of 40.
Lee Israel, the author McCarthy empathetically portrays in Marielle Heller's intimate new biopic Can You Ever Forgive Me?, is living a cautionary tale of which many women, not just famous actresses, are very aware. A New York Times-bestselling celebrity biographer in the late '70s and early '80s, Lee refused to conform to societal expectations for a female author. By 1991, when the film opens, that refusal has torpedoed her career. "Oh, to be a white man who doesn't even know he's full of crap," Lee sighs with teary-eyed frustration when her agent, Marjorie (Jane Curtin), informs her that not only is no one interested in the subject of her newest book, but no one is interested in Lee Israel either. Sitting alone at a bar in the middle of the day in a bulky sweater and asexual haircut, Lee might as well be invisible. And if you're already invisible, why not turn to crime?
Specifically, Israel turned to literary forgeries, an esoteric form of lawlessness that nevertheless made her the subject of an extensive FBI investigation. In real life, as in the film, Israel turned to forgery out of desperation, adding a fake, juicy postscript to a real letter from vaudeville comedienne Fanny Brice in order to boost its selling price. Then she realized that she was quite good at faking letters from famous authors, channeling her wit and knowledge of history into convincing missives from the likes of "Dorothy Parker" and "Noël Coward" composed on vintage typewriters. (Much to the real Israel's amusement, two of her forgeries even made it into a 2007 Coward biography.) But, as they tend to do, ego and alcohol got in the way.
The facts of Israel's story are already out there for anyone who wants to learn them, a factor biopic directors always have to contend with. In this case, combined with the understated nature of Israel's crimes, it makes for a film whose dramatic stakes are relatively low. But Heller, who made her debut with the coming-of-age drama The Diary Of A Teenage Girl, doesn't try to artificially inflate them. Instead, she leans in to the understatement with a straightforward, character-driven narrative, propelled by Nicole Holofcener and Jeff Whitty's script (and the occasional montage). The world-building, a requiem for threadbare '90s NYC bohemia, is similarly low-key, as are the film's LGBTQ themes.
This approach puts a lot of the focus on McCarthy's performance as Lee, a character she inhabits as comfortably as a pair of sensible walking shoes. Key to McCarthy's work here is the way she buries, but doesn't suffocate, the brassy charisma of her straight comedic roles under Lee's misanthropic exterior. Its spark ignites in her scenes with Richard E. Grant, who's perfectly cast as Lee's only real friend, alcoholic petty criminal Jack Hock. Grant's crocodile smile adds an infectious sense of mischief to the film, and the duo's chemistry is so good that scenes of them drunkenly gallivanting across Manhattan could fill an hour and 46 minutes all on their own.
Distilled to its most basic elements, Can You Ever Forgive Me? is about the criminal exploits of a middle-aged cat lady, and it's as modest as that description makes it sound. But it's also a film about dignity, and about a stubbornly independent person being forced to admit—very much against her will, by the way—that she needs other people sometimes, too. Maintaining an audience's sympathy for a character through their most fumbling, frustrating lows requires compassion and clarity of purpose, both of which McCarthy amply demonstrates here. It's a career-best performance, the kind of nuanced turn we all suspected she could deliver, if only someone would give her a chance to do it.

One way to look fashionable without trying too hard is to mix retro clothing with high-street fashion pieces. When shopping for vintage pieces online, make sure to choose quality pieces, those that flatter your features and are in good shape, without any stains or damage. Carefully examine the photos from all angles and make sure to read the details.
First-off though, it is crucial to do your research before deciding to add items in your cart and buy only from reputable online stores so you are sure that you are buying clothes are in good shape. It all comes down to what you care about though; some of you might want to make sure these pre-owned items are not carrying any negative energy from its previous owners. In this case, it would be helpful to get advice through psychic readings and you can now do this online.
Psychics are gifted with clairvoyance, so they are able to see if certain items are clear of any harmful elements. If you are not sure about the items you are interested to buy online, it would be a good idea to seek the help of a psychic reader. Of course, one of the biggest considerations is the cybersecurity level of the site or app you're buying from - since you'll be entering your credit or debit card details. Always make sure the URL of the payment page starts with https:// rather than http:// , for example - the former provides more protection from third parties attempting to steal information.
ASOS Marketplace is the perfect store to get good retro pieces. They feature a wide range of vintage boutiques, designers, and labels on their website. Unlike other online stores that would leave you guessing how the clothes would fit you, the pieces on this site are shown being worn by actual people, so you more or less know how the clothes would look on you.
Beyond Retro is very popular among vintage fashion aficionados in the UK. This online store began its business in an old, abandoned dairy factory in East London and, as a result of its huge following, has now branched out to various locations, including Brick Lane, Dalston, Soho, Brighton, and Sweden. Their physical store offers an "enchanting and unexpected shopping experience", and their online shop is just as amazing. Remember Lorraine Warren, the psychic leading female character from the movie The Conjuring?
This online vintage store is based in London. The shop boasts of the numerous unique finds that come from the 1970s through the 1990s. Those who are hunting for rare vintage Yves Saint Laurent cardigans or Americana print Versace shirts would most likely have a blast finding pieces like these on this site. Another advantage of shopping on this online store is their next day delivery. They also offer free delivery for a minimum purchase.
This online boutique is a treasure chest full of great vintage finds. The owner, Stella, once worked with top brands like Levi's, Marks & Spencer, and Topshop, and owns a stall at Portobello Market where Kate Moss and Stella McCartney are frequently seen. She knows what people are looking for when it comes to vintage clothing, and her online store sure is full of wonderful pieces from choice designers and artists worldwide.

Elon Musk's Unexpected Secret for Pushing Through Fear
"I feel fear quite strongly," confesses the Tesla and SpaceX founder in a new interview. Here's how he deals with it.
By Jessica Stillman, Contributor, Inc.com@EntryLevelRebel
There's everyday fear failure -- worry that your business idea won't pan out, your financial situation will take a hit, people will laugh at you -- and then there's Elon Musk-level fear of failure.
When you're trying to accomplish humongous things -- things like the electrification of automobiles and the colonization of space, -- big, ugly, and very public failure isn't just a possibility, it's a statistical likelihood. If quitting your job or opening a small business is terrifying to most of us, imagine how scary it must be to publicly announce you're investing your own money to send humans to Mars.
Yet Musk just keeps on doing incredibly audacious, risky, and valuable things. How does he handle his fear of failure? Or is he just some superhuman genetically gifted with mercifully malfunctioning anxiety circuitry?
Nope, he tells fellow entrepreneur Jared Friedman in a lengthy and utterly fascinating Y Combinator interview. "I feel fear quite strongly," he confesses. How does he keep going despite this terror?
Passion...
Musk, it seems, has a two-part recipe for fearlessness. The first essential ingredient is heaps and heaps of passion.
Starting out, many people thought SpaceX was an insane bet, Friedman notes. Musk only agrees with him. "Very crazy. For sure. They were not shy of saying that. But I agreed with them," he says. Why did Musk push ahead despite this chorus of skeptics?
"I'd soon come to a conclusion that if something didn't happen to improve rocket technology, we'd be stuck on earth forever," he says and he was not prepared to sit idly by and watch that outcome unfold.
"People sometimes think technology just automatically gets better every year but actually it doesn't. It only gets better if smart people work like crazy to make it better," Musk continues. "By itself, technology, if people don't work at it, actually will decline... Look at, say, ancient Egypt, where they were able to build these incredible pyramids and then they basically forgot how to build pyramids.... There are many such examples in history... entropy is not on your side."
In short, Musk's concern for technological progress and the welfare of the human race was simply stronger than his personal terror at the prospect a public flame out. It's not that he was somehow too hard or tough for fear to penetrate; it's that he was too full of belief and concern to let that stop him.
... and fatalism
But just focusing on why you're taking a scary risk isn't always enough to overcome hesitation. It wasn't for Musk. He employed an additional strategy as well. You could call it strategic pessimism. He calls it "fatalism."
"Something that can be helpful is fatalism, to some degree," Musk tells Friedman. "If you just accept the probabilities, then that diminishes fear. When starting SpaceX, I thought the odds of success were less than 10 percent and I just accepted that actually probably I would just lose everything. But that maybe we would make some progress."
It might sound strange that a cold-hearted look at your low odds of success could embolden a person, but others recommend this strategy too. Author Tim Ferriss , for example, advises those wrestling with doubt to force themselves to really visualize their worst-case scenario. It's a form of exposure therapy: by facing the thing you fear, you break its power over you and realize that you will survive even if the worst comes to pass.
If you're a Musk fan, the complete interview is a must watch (or read, a transcript is also available). It delves into the promise and peril of AI, the most impactful areas to start a business right now, the nuts and bolts of how Musk spends his days, and his biggest epiphany of the year.

Bong Revilla praises Vico Sotto for being hailed as 'Anti-Corruption Champion'
Tuesday, March 02, 2021 at 1:43 PM by Josh Medina
- Senator Bong Revilla, Jr., in a manifestation on the senate floor, praised Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto for his performance as Pasig City's chief executive
- The senator also assured the young leader they will always be behind him
- Mayor Sotto was recently cited by the US State Department as one of the top 12 anti-corruption champions in the world
- Revilla was accused of plunder in the past, though the Sandiganbayan acquitted him of the corruption charge in 2019
Senator Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr. joined his colleagues in heaping praises upon Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto for his recognition as one of the world's "Anti-Corruption Champions." The senator also assured the young leader that they will always be behind his back, indicating their full support.

Revilla thanked Sotto for being an inspiration to others. "The youth is truly the hope of the nation, keep up the good work," the senator stated.
Robin Padilla praises priest who commended PH gov't's COVID-19 response
In his manifestation on the Philippine Senate floor, the actor-turned-politician said that Sotto reminds him of the country's national hero, Jose Rizal.
He asked the mayor to continue all the good things that he started in Pasig City. "You truly embody what our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal has said: 'Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan.' Thank you for being such an inspiration," the senator said in his manifestation in support of Senate Resolutions 659 and 660.
Revilla also expressed his belief that the Pasig mayor's father, Vic Sotto, and his mother, Coney Reyes, are very happy with his achievements. "Of course, your Tito 'Tito', our Senate President na isa magandang ring ehemplo na katulad mo (who has also been a good example to public officials)," the senator said during his manifestation.
Both senate resolutions call for the commendation of the young local chief executive for his excellent performance in Pasig City. Senators Panfilo Lacson, Lito Lapid, and Senate President Tito Sotto III filed the said resolutions. All of the senators were made co-authors of the resolution, which was later approved by the legislative body.
Calapan City Mayor says PNP Chief Debold Sinas displayed reckless behavior; must be held responsible
Towards the end of his manifestation, Revilla again congratulated Mayor Sotto. "Keep up the good work. Nasa likuran mo kami," the senator said.
In 2014, the Ombudsman filed plunder charges against Senator Bong Revilla, which led to the detention of the legislator. In 2019, the Sandiganbayan acquitted the senator of all corruption charges, though the Office of the Ombudsman insisted that he still needs to pay P125 million for civil liability on his plunder case. According to the Ombudsman, while the senator won an acquittal, it does not erase his civil liability.
Gerald Anderson expresses desire to build his own family
The Pasig City Mayor was advocating for change and for taking steps, little as they may be, in fighting corruption. However, there are some sectors who are not pleased with the mayor as in the case of one Twitter user who told Mayor Vico that even before he was born, corruption has already been a problem of the country.
The young local chief executive responded in a very educated and on-point manner without batting an eyelash. He told the user that even he was not born yet because corruption is a problem ingrained in society for hundreds of years but if people try, it can happen, even if little by little.
It was not the first time that the Pasig City Mayor took to social media to educate users. In another case, he posted on Twitter to orient the public and give a warning to everyone about fake COVID-19 vaccines. Mayor Vico showed the photo of the fake vaccines and told the public not to buy them. He indicated signs that show why such vaccines were fake, saying that even in the picture, one could already see that they're fake.

Westland Insurance reveals its M&A strategy for the future
September 14, 2020	by Jason Contant
Fresh from closing four acquisitions in western Canada, large brokerage Westland Insurance Group plans to continue exploring opportunities in the west, as well as consider deals that would move the brokerage in a more easterly direction.
Westland announced on Sept. 2 the closing of four acquisitions (effective Aug. 31) in Alberta, British Columbia and, for the first time, Manitoba. Post-acquisition, Westland will have nearly 1,500 employees and more than 120 offices in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The latest acquisitions add four branches and over 30 employees to the brokerage.
Canadian Underwriter recently asked Jamie Lyons, Westland's president and chief operating officer, what prompted the decision to move into Manitoba. And were there plans to acquire other brokerages in the province in the future?
"Manitoba is a very exciting province for Westland Insurance and we are thrilled to be entering the market through the acquisition of King Insurance," Lyons said Friday. "As a market leader in western Canada, our intention is to continue exploring additional opportunities in Manitoba, while also moving further eastward by acquiring additional best-in-class brokerages across Canada."
Related: Brokerage M&A activity surges amid pandemic
Founded in 1962, King Insurance is a family-owned brokerage located in Winnipeg. It offers residential, auto, business, life and disability insurance. The other three Westland acquisitions include:
Johnson Agencies: A brokerage that has served the insurance needs of Leduc, Alta., and surrounding areas since 1967. It provides residential, auto, recreation, commercial, farm, travel and life insurance
Hedderick Insurance Agencies: Located in Pincher Creek, Alta., Hedderick has been serving clients since 1949. They provide residential, commercial, recreation, farm and auto insurance
Nauroth & Associates: The family-owned brokerage has been serving the Prince George, B.C., area for more than 25 years. They provide the community with auto, residential, commercial, travel and life insurance
Discussing the topics of post-acquisition branding and staffing, Lyons believes the four acquired brokerages have strong brands within their communities. "While branding changes may occur over time, we don't necessarily have a prescribed timeframe," he said. "Regarding staff, we value the experience and professionalism of the existing teams and our goal is to always retain these teams."
One of Westland's paramount considerations in any acquisition is the cultural fit and alignment with Westland's own core values, said Lyons. "Each of these [brokerages] is professionally run, with deep ties to their community, and an unwavering commitment to their clients and staff. Westland's growth strategy is focused on continued leadership within our existing territories, as well as building a strong national presence. These acquisitions help to achieve both of these objectives."
Lyons was asked if the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic affected the M&A process in any way. "Yes, COVID certainly paused our M&A program," he replied. "Over the past six months, we refocused inwards to respond to the needs of our business, staff, communities and clients. We are encouraged by how Westland Insurance, the acquired brokers, and the industry at large have fared through COVID, and we are now actively re-engaging in M&A and our strategic growth plan."

The Hebrew title of this book is Tehilim ("praises" or "hymns"), for a leading feature in its contents is praise, though the word occurs in the title of only one Psalm (the hundred forty-fifth). The Greek title (in the Septuagint, a translation made two hundred years before Christ) is psalmoi, whence our word "Psalms." This corresponds to the Hebrew word mizmoi by which sixty-five Psalms are designated in their inscriptions, and which the Syriac, a language like the Hebrew, uses for the whole book. It means, as does also the Greek name, an ode, or song, whose singing is accompanied by an instrument, particularly the harp (compare 1Ch 16:4-8; 2Ch 5:12, 13). To some Psalms, the Hebrew word (shir) "a song," is prefixed. Paul seems to allude to all these terms in Eph 5:19, "singing … in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs."
Titles.—To more than a hundred Psalms are prefixed inscriptions, which give one or more (and in one case, [Psalm 60], all) of these particulars: the direction to the musician, the name of the author or the instrument, the style of the music or of the poetry, the subject or occasion. The authority of these inscriptions has been disputed by some writers. They say that the earliest translators, as the Greek and Syriac, evince a disregard for their authority, by variations from a proper translation of some, altering others, and, in several instances, supplying titles to Psalms which, in Hebrew, had none. It is also alleged that the subject of a Psalm, as given in the title, is often inconsistent with its contents. But those translators have also varied from a right translation of many passages in the Bible, which all agree to be of good authority; and the alleged inconsistency may be shown, on more accurate investigation, not to exist. The admitted antiquity of these inscriptions, on the other hand, and even their obscurity, raise a presumption in their favor, while such prefaces to a composition accord with the usages of that age and part of the world (compare Isa 38:9).
"The Chief Musician" was the superintendent of the music (compare "to oversee," 1Ch 15:21, Margin). "To" prefixed to this, means, "pertaining to" in his official character. This inscription is found in fifty-three Psalms and is attached to Habakkuk's prayer (Hab 3:1-19). The same Hebrew preposition is prefixed to the name of the author and translated "of," as "a Psalm of David," "of Asaph," except that to "the sons of Korah," it is translated "for," which is evidently wrong, as the usual direction, "to the chief musician," is given, and no other authorship intimated. On the apparent exception to this last remark, see below, and see on Ps 88:1, title. The explanations of other particulars in the titles will be given as they occur.
Authors.—This book is often called "The Psalms of David," he being the only author mentioned in the New Testament (Lu 20:42) and his name appearing in more titles than that of any other writer. Besides about one-half of the Psalms in which it thus appears, Psalms 2 and 95 are ascribed to him (Ac 4:25 and Heb 4:7). He was probably the author of many others which appear without a name. He used great efforts to beautify the worship of the sanctuary. Among the two hundred eighty-eight Levites he appointed for singing and performing instrumental music, we find mentioned the "sons of Korah" (1Ch 9:19); including Heman (1Ch 6:33-38); and also Asaph (1Ch 6:39-44); and Ethan (1Ch 15:17-19). God was doubtless pleased to endow these men with the inspiration of His Spirit, so that they used those poetic talents which their connection with the kindred art of music had led them to cultivate, in the production of compositions like those of their king and patron. To Asaph are ascribed twelve Psalms; to the sons of Korah, eleven, including the eighty-eighth, which is also ascribed to Heman, that being the only instance in which the name of the "son" (or descendant) is mentioned; and to Ethan, one. Solomon's name appears before the seventy-second and hundred twenty-seventh; and that of Moses before the ninetieth. Special questions respecting authorship will be explained as they arise.
Contents.—As the book contains one hundred fifty independent compositions, it is not susceptible of any logical analysis. The Jews having divided it into five books, corresponding to the Five Books of Moses (First, Psalms 1-42; Second, Psalms 43-72; Third, Psalms 73-89; Fourth, Psalms 90-106; Fifth, Psalms 107-150), many attempts have been made to discover, in this division, some critical or practical value, but in vain. Sundry efforts have been made to classify the Psalms by subject. Angus' Bible Hand Book is perhaps the most useful, and is appended.
Still the Psalms have a form and character peculiar to themselves; and with individual diversities of style and subject, they all assimilate to that form, and together constitute a consistent system of moral truth. They are all poetical, and of that peculiar parallelism (see Introduction to the Poetical Books,) which distinguished Hebrew poetry. They are all lyrical, or songs adapted to musical instruments, and all religious lyrics, or such as were designed to be used in the sanctuary worship.
The distinguishing feature of the Psalms is their devotional character. Whether their matter be didactic, historical, prophetical, or practical, it is made the ground or subject of prayer, or praise, or both. The doctrines of theology and precepts of pure morality are here inculcated. God's nature, attributes, perfections, and works of creation, providence, and grace, are unfolded. In the sublimest conceptions of the most exalted verse, His glorious supremacy over the principalities of heaven, earth, and hell, and His holy, wise, and powerful control of all material and immaterial agencies, are celebrated. The great covenant of grace resting on the fundamental promise of a Redeemer, both alike the provisions of God's exhaustless mercy, is set forth in respect of the doctrines of regeneration by the Spirit, forgiveness of sins, repentance toward God, and faith toward Jesus Christ, while its glorious results, involving the salvation of men "from the ends of the earth" [Ac 13:47], are proclaimed in believing, prophetic prayer and thankful praise. The personal history of the authors, and especially David's in its spiritual aspects, is that of God's people generally. Christian biography is edifying only as it is truth illustrated in experience, such as God's Word and Spirit produce. It may be factitious in origin and of doubtful authenticity. But here the experience of the truly pious is detailed, under divine influence, and "in words which the Holy Ghost" taught [1Co 2:13]. The whole inner life of the pious man is laid open, and Christians of all ages have here the temptations, conflicts, perplexities, doubts, fears, penitent moanings, and overwhelming griefs on the one hand, and the joy and hope of pardoning mercy, the victory over the seductions of false-hearted flatterers, and deliverance from the power of Satan on the other, with which to compare their own spiritual exercises. Here, too, are the fruits of that sovereign mercy, so often sought in earnest prayer, and when found, so often sung in rapturous joy, exhibited by patience in adversity, moderation in prosperity, zeal for God's glory, love for man, justice to the oppressed, holy contempt for the proud, magnanimity towards enemies, faithfulness towards friends, delight in the prosperity of Zion, and believing prayer for her enlargement and perpetuity.
The historical summaries of the Psalms are richly instructive. God's choice of the patriarchs, the sufferings of the Israelites in Egypt, their exodus, temptations of God, rebellions and calamities in the wilderness, settlement in Canaan, backslidings and reformations, furnish illustrations of God's providential government of His people, individually and collectively, tending to exalt His adorable grace and abase human pride. But the promises and prophecies connected with these summaries, and elsewhere presented in the Psalms, have a far wider reach, exhibiting the relations of the book to the great theme of promise and prophecy:
The Messiah and His Kingdom.—David was God's chosen servant to rule His people, as the head at once of the State and the Church, the lineal ancestor, "according to the flesh" [Ac 2:30; Ro 1:3], of His adorable Son, and His type, in His official relations, both in suffering and in triumph. Generally, David's trials by the ungodly depicted the trials of Christ, and his final success the success of Christ's kingdom. Typically, he uses language describing his feelings, which only finds its full meaning in the feelings of Christ. As such it is quoted and applied in the New Testament. And further, in view of the great promise (2Sa 7:12-16) to him and his seed, to which such frequent reference is made in the Psalms, David was inspired to know, that though his earthly kingdom should perish, his spiritual would ever endure, in the power, beneficence, and glory of Christ's. In repeating and amplifying that promise, he speaks not only as a type, but "being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne," he "foretold the sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow. His incarnation, humiliating sorrows, persecution, and cruel death are disclosed in the plaintive cries of a despairing sufferer; and His resurrection and ascension, His eternal priesthood, His royal dignity, His prophetical office, the purchase and bestowal of the gifts of the Spirit, the conversion of the nations, the establishment, increase, and perpetuity of the Church, the end of time, and the blessedness of the righteous who acknowledge, and the ruin of the wicked who reject this King in Zion, are predicted in the language of assured confidence and joy." While these great themes have supplied the people of God with a popular theology and a guide in religious experience and Christian morality, clothed in the language of devotion, they have provided an inspired liturgy in which the pious, of all creeds and sects, have, for nearly three thousand years, poured out their prayers and praises. The pious Jew, before the coming of Christ, mourned over the adversity, or celebrated the future glories, of Zion, in the words of her ancient king. Our Saviour, with His disciples, sang one of these hymns on the night on which He was betrayed [Mt 26:30]; He took from one the words in which He uttered the dreadful sorrows of His soul [Mt 27:46], and died with those of another on His lips [Lu 23:46]. Paul and Silas in the dungeon [Ac 16:25], primitive Christians in their covert places of worship, or the costly churches of a later day, and the scattered and feeble Christian flocks in the prevalence of darkness and error through the Middle Ages, fed their faith and warmed their love with these consoling songs. Now, throughout the Christian world, in untold forms of version, paraphrase, and imitation, by Papists and Protestants, Prelatists and Presbyterians, Independents, Baptists, Methodists—men of all lands and all creeds, in public and private worship, God is still adored in the sentiments expressed in these venerable Psalms. From the tone of sorrow and suffering which pervade their earlier portions we are gradually borne on amid alternate conflicts and triumphs, mournful complaints and awakening confidence; as we approach the close the tones of sorrow grow feebler, and those of praise wax louder and stronger—till, in the exulting strains of the last Psalm, the chorus of earth mingles with the hallelujahs of the multitude, which no man can number, in the sanctuary above.
Angus' or Bickersteth's arrangement may be profitably used as a guide for finding a Psalm on a special topic. It is a little modified, as follows:
1. Didactic.
(1) Good and bad men: Psalms 1, 5, 7, 9-12, 14, 15, 17, 24, 25, 32, 34, 36, 37, 50, 52, 53, 58, 73, 75, 84, 91, 92, 94, 112, 121, 125, 127, 128, 133;

Note.—The compiler of the following notes has omitted all references to authors, as needlessly encumbering the commentary. He has had before him the works of Calvin, Scott, Poole, Ainsworth, Cobbin, Geice, Vatablus, Tholuck, J. H. Michaelis, Rosenmuller, and Alexander. To the two last named he has been particularly indebted for the parallel passages. He has made a free use of the views advanced by these authors, and claims no credit for anything in the work except the conciseness united with fullness of exposition. Whoever attempts it will find it far easier to write a long commentary than a brief one.


The globus sensation - something stuck in my throat - started suddenly about 8 months ago. It started with a trial of the antidepressant venlafaxine. I had had that side effect with a couple of other antidepressants in the past but it stopped as soon as I stopped the medication. This time even though I only took 3 doses, it didn't stop. Another thing that happened at this same time was having literally hundreds of seed tick bites from a hike. My socks and ankles were covered by these ticks and it was a couple of hours before I could get them all off. No rash and no fever though and I had actually forgotten about the ticks for a long time. Anyway, the globus got worse and worse and progressed to a burning sensation in my mouth along with the globus and chest pain especially after I ate. Also a burning pain in my ears. It feels like I'm being strangled from the inside. I researched it and came up with LPR. I've had multiple tests and seen multiple Drs including GI doctors and ENT Drs. I've had an EGD scope, a laryngoscope, manometry, 24 hour Ph impedence test. All show irritation and mild reflux. Nothing that would explain the severe pain I felt. I also just feel sick with no appetite and have lost a lot of weight that I didn't have to lose. I felt bloated and was constipated and felt like my digestive system just wasn't working right I was also experiencing numbness in my hands and mental fogginess. I tried all the PPI's taking the double doses. I developed severe diarrhea on all of them and had to stop. They didn't help anyway. I've also tried sucralfate and metoclopramide and zantac. I stopped the sucralfate because it seemed to make the bloating worse. I had to stop the metoclopramide because I was getting extrapyramidal side effects. I had a Lyme ELISA test and it was negative. I took a month of doxycycline just in case it was Lyme. I should note that like others, the pain and globus go away when I sleep and appear again shortly after awaking. Stress and anxiety make it worse.
In the process of trying to figure out what was wrong my Dr ordered an ultrasound of my neck and that is when nodules were found on my thyroid. I ended up having papillary thyroid cancer which had spread to one lymph node. They said they didn't think that was the source of the globus since the nodules were small. Still I was hoping that was the source. I had a total thyroidectomy with a right neck dissection. The incision is really long. After the surgery I felt worse than ever - it felt like I was being strangled from the outside where the incision is as well as the inside. The outside choking feeling has gotten a little better with neck stretching but the inside globus is still as bad as ever.
I don't know what to do or where to turn anymore. I'm following all the guidelines for reflux and have given up everything that I loved to eat and drink - no chocolate, no caffeine, no alcohol, no carbonated beverages, no fried food, no fatty food, etc. I've read Jamie Koufman's book an am doing the no acid diet. I've seen a neurologist and have recently started on gabapentin but so far haven't noticed a change. I also saw some posts on here about Vit D and am taking 4,000 units a day. I can't enjoy life and never feel like doing anything. I was perfectly healthy until this happened and now I feel it is destroying my life. I am terrified that this will never go away and this is how my life will be from now on. Any help or advice or encouragement would be greatly appreciated.

Hengrave Hall wedding fireworks are a rare but highly enjoyable treat. And absolutely blummin' spectacular! The fireworks for Vicki and Dean's wedding were set up by the capable and very nice folk from Fully Fused Fireworks and there were a few fantastic little touches that made the experience just that extra bit special. If you ever want to feel like you are walking on stage for the final of X-Factor, this is your moment. Standing in amongst these huge fountains of fireworks was so cool …but then again, I'm a big kid and a sucker for fireworks.
We had been lucky with the rain all day – a few spots as Vicki and Dean walked into the chapel but thankfully nothing when they walked out. During the reception we could see a large ominous black cloud rolling over the fields towards Hengrave Hall and a massive storm hitting a few minutes before the end of the reception. Near perfect timing. Just to keep us on our toes, there was a bit more rain when the last of the decisions about the timings of the fireworks were being made. But thankfully, we had a perfect cool and clear evening when it was time to light the fuses. I know Vicki would have been gutted if they had been called off. Me too!
All i can say it WOW! What a fantastic shot. Steve & Sandra.
Not only great fireworks, but doing a great backlighting job too! Lovely shot.

Enersize has successfully delivered its first large energy efficiency project in China. Verified savings of 800.000 € on annual basis have been achieved in the project, delivered to a large government owned electronics manufacturing plant. Another large project has been launched with a steel products manufacturing plant in China, and several smaller projects are ongoing in Europe and China. Furthermore, Enersize has ongoing discussions with over 20 potential large customer projects.
Enersize focuses on industrial energy efficiency. The company connects industrial devices to cloud analytics for performance improvements in industrial compressed air (CA). CA consumes approximately 17% of all industrial electricity use. Enersize is able to save 15-30% of this by its solution. Enersize takes care of CA energy efficiency measures on behalf of customers and charges a fee based on the achieved savings.
Alexander Lidgren, Managing Director at Cleantech Invest: "Enersize is a great example of how Internet of Things (IoT) and analytics can deliver customer value. The company taps into a multi billion dollar market of potential savings in compressed air systems, savings that are achievable even in the most modern industrial facilities. This has been a year of great progress for Enersize - orders are closed, energy savings for customers have been proven and the pipeline of new projects is impressive.
Sami Mykkänen, Managing Director at Enersize Oy: "Cleantech Invest has been instrumental in building Enersize into a leading compressed air energy efficiency service provider. With this investment round we are able to grow our business in China and targeting highly profitable operations in the coming years."
Enersize provides energy efficiency as a service and focuses on industrial compressed air (CA) systems. The service is based on proprietary hardware and software that enables real-time analysis of CA systems.


This paper reports on the main results of the EU-financed project INNOCUOUS (Innovative Oxygen Carriers Uplifting Chemical-Looping Combustion). The project follows a series of successful projects with the aim of developing chemical-looping combustion (CLC) with gaseous fuels rich in methane. The project has included a wide range of experimental and modelling tasks, which included i) extensive screening of spray-dried and impregnated oxygen carriers, ii) production of impregnated and spray-dried oxygen carriers at >100 kg scale, iii) operation of several oxygen carriers at industrial conditions up to 120 kW scale and iv) techno-economic study of the next-scale CLC. One area of focus in the project has been the search for viable oxygen carriers which have low or no Ni. A large portfolio of interesting metal oxide systems has been found. Two oxygen carriers of CaMnxTiyMg1-x-yO3 were successfully produced in larger amounts by spray-drying and an oxygen carrier of Fe2O3/Al2O3 was produced in similar quantity using impregnation. The Ca-based material showed excellent behavior in a 10 kW and 120 kW unit, where complete combustion was achieved. With respect to the aim of replacing the bench-mark Ni-based material the project was thus very successful, as complete combustion has never been achieved in these units using Ni-based material.


Friends, colleagues, and monsters: the time has come. Angels and Apes is going on hiatus over the summer, while I put the finishing touches on my PhD thesis. In a few short weeks, Frankenfiction: Adaptations of the Monster and Monstrous Adaptation in Twenty-First Century Remix Culture (hopefully) comes to life.


Okay, okay, okay a few things to talk about here. Yes, we have one Louisville show coming up with the amazing Bouncing Souls and Tim Barry. Check the show page for all info and links. Road shows coming.
As I type this out I am also finalizing the artwork for the new record. I know that it has taken a while to get "Aeonian" out there to you all, but wanted it done right and outside of this baby there have been many other projects to finish so Nowhere can get back out on the road.
If you are searching for us online at the moment you will have to use nowherefastmusic.bandcamp.com to listen to the discography online. The only thing around the globe you will find at the moment is the 2010 ep "Highlands Sessions". The reason for this is we are clearing up all confusion as to finding what records are ours. Point being we listen to your emails and appreciate all the love and support. So, starting in mid-June you will be able to search for us under Nowhere Fast Music for everything including all online streaming. No more of this here or this there on Spotify, etc.... So, stay tuned and since we caused this headache for you all we have everything up at bandcamp for free download (just like we do during the holidays) until the new record is out. We hope all Mothers of all forms enjoyed their holiday too.
