Genelle Netland [email protected] Associate Pastor Rev. Andrew Ronnevik [email protected] Our congregation has a tradition of honoring God with our financial gifts by filling out a Spiritual Associate Pastor of Youth and Family Financial Pledge each year. These are personal commitments to what you and your household are Rev. Nate Bendorf going to give to support the general operating budget for the mission and ministry that God has called [email protected] Calvary to do. Our leadership feels it is important to ask each household to prayerfully consider what Visitation Pastoral Team they would like to give to the church because this is part of being a disciple of Jesus. It is important Vicar Anne Meredith-Will to know that no one ever looks at these pledges. In other words, our leadership does not use these [email protected] numbers to create a budget, rather our congregation votes on our budget at the congregational annual Rev. Bill Beyer meeting. When you have committed your pledge, they are held in a box until mid-year and then mailed Almina Beyer (A.I.M.) back to the households that made their commitment as a reminder of what they intended to do. These [email protected] commitments will be made on Sunday, November 22 in all worship services. It is both our duty and our Children’s Ministry Director delight to share the money God has entrusted to us for the glory of God.

INVITATION TO JOY THE BRIDGE Invitation to Joy is a cooperative evangelism and outreach Join us on initiative involving about two dozen local ELCA congregations. Contact Pr. Andrew to learn more. THE BRIDGE When visiting my parents this past August in Minneapolis, I to New Life in Ministry decided to take my mom to the Minnesota State Fair on Labor Day, the busiest day they have ever had in the history of the State Fair. She loves the State Fair, and it was a beautiful day. We took the City Bus and it was packed with fair goers. On our way home, I made sure we got on the bus early so that my elderly mother would have a seat. As the bus packed with passengers, the seats filled up. The bus took off and there was a young couple up front who had to stand because all the seats were full. The petite mom was holding her young baby and struggling to hold on to her and hold on to the pole to steady herself. I watched with anticipation to see if any of the young, vibrant passengers sitting directly around her would offer up their seat to her. They did not. Even though it seemed obvious to me, that someone needed to give up their seat, no one did. I finally stood up and walked over to the young mother and offered her my seat next to my 83 year old mom. This young mother smiled at me with relief and quickly Thank you to all those who made Reformation Sunday a sat down. Such a simple gesture. I know my mother engaged wonderful day! her in a loving conversation about her baby. This is all Jesus asks us to do. Take care of the weak and the vulnerable.

As the COVID-19 pandemic’s ripple effects spread throughout the world, digital health technology became a necessary tool for meeting people’s health care needs. This proved to be a massive accelerant to both funding and innovation across the sector. In response, many digital health companies expanded, and deal values soared for early- and growth-stage investments. These developments introduced opportunities for digital health, but they also revealed new challenges, including increased competition, new operational demands, and a need for more judicious spend on capital.

  • Qnas with Angel Rubio QNAS Paul Gabrielsen, Science Writer
    QNAS QnAs with Angel Rubio QNAS Paul Gabrielsen, Science Writer Just as physics requires a different set of tools to explore phenomena at the quantum scale, chemistry requires a quantum paradigm. At the macroscale, the interaction of light with chemical entities can be observed in processes such as photosynthesis. But the actual interaction between photons and other matter occurs in the realm of quantum chemistry. National Academy of Sciences member and physicist Angel Rubio, managing director of the Max Planck Institute for Structure and Dynamics in Hamburg, Germany, studies the theoretical interactions of photons and molecules in isolated cavities. Such cavities may be simple vacuums, or may contain mirrors that reflect particles within them at a frequency dependent on the cavities’ dimensions. In his Inaugural Article (1), Rubio presents model systems of quantum chemistry that ex- plore degrees of coupling between light and matter. Rubio recently spoke to PNAS about his findings. PNAS: How does chemistry change at the quantum scale? Rubio: When you put two atoms together, they form a chemical bond. Our players are molecules and pho- tons. As there are two quantum entities, they will create a bond between the molecule and the photon field. This sort of quasi-particle is called a polariton. It’s not an ’ electron; not a photon. It samix. Angel Rubio. Image courtesy of Angel Rubio. PNAS: How do photons participate in chemical reactions? mediated by the photon and enhanced. Or, if you want, you could quench it.

  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

  • The Scheduling and Reception of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel in the UK
    Vampire Hunters: the Scheduling and Reception of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel in the UK Annette Hill and Ian Calcutt Introduction In a viewers’ feedback programme on TV, a senior executive responded to public criticism of UK television’s scheduling and censorship of imported cult TV. Key examples included Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin off series Angel. The executive stated: ‘The problem is, with some of the series we acquire from the States, in the States they go out at eight o’clock or nine o’clock. We don’t have that option here because we want to be showing history documentaries or some other more serious programming at eight or nine o’clock’ [1]. TV channels in the UK do not perceive programmes like Buffy and Angel, which have garnered critical and ratings success in the USA, appropriate for a similarly prominent timeslot. Although peak time programmes can include entertainment shows, these are generally UK productions, such as lifestyle or drama. This article analyses the circumstances within which British viewers are able to see Buffy and Angel, and the implications of those circumstances for their experiences as audience members and fans. The article is in two sections. The first section outlines the British TV system in general, and the different missions and purposes of relevant TV channels. It also addresses the specifics of scheduling Buffy and Angel, including the role of censorship and editing of episodes. We highlight how the scheduling has been erratic, which both interrupts complex story arcs and frustrates fans expecting to see their favourite show at a regular time.

  • Billy Parker a Country Music Mainstay with 20+ Charted Singles, but Most Influencial In His Roll As Radio Disc Jockey.
    Billy Parker A country music mainstay with 20+ charted singles, but most influencial in his roll as radio disc jockey. Chapter 01 – 1:40 Introduction Announcer: While Billy Parker was a mainstay on country radio, his claim to fame was as an influential disc jockey, not as a performer. Ionically, for all of the Top 40 Country Hits he spun over the course of his decades on the air, not one of them was his own. Born July 19, 1939, in Tuskegee, OK, he began playing guitar as a child and by the age of 14 had made his professional debut on the Tulsa radio program Big Red Jamboree. A few years later, he began performing in clubs and in 1959 landed his first DJ work. By 1963, Billy was the regular daytime disc jockey on KFDI in Wichita, Kansas and also hosted a Tulsa television program. In the same year, he cut his first single, and was named “Mr. DJ U.S.A.” in a nationwide poll, which helped land him at Nashville, Tennessee’s WSM. After his 1966 release “I’m Drinking All the Time”, Parker began playing with Ernest Tubb’s Troubadours in 1968, staying with the group for three years, when he joined Tulsa’s KVOO. Billy was named Disc Jockey of the Year by the Academy of Country & Western Music in 1975 and he won the award again in 1977, 1978, and 1984. In 1976, he scored his first chart hit with “It’s Bad When You’re Caught (With the Goods),” from the album Average Man.

  • The Angel Game in the Plane Brian H. Bowditch School of Mathematics, University of Southampton, Highfield, Southampton SO17 1BJ, Great Britain
    The angel game in the plane Brian H. Bowditch School of Mathematics, University of Southampton, Highfield, Southampton SO17 1BJ, Great Britain. http://www.maths.soton.ac.uk/staff/Bowditch/ [First draft: August 2006. Revised: September 2006] 0. Introduction. The angel game, as described in [BeCG], has two players the “angel” and the “devil” who play alternately on the 2-dimensional integer lattice, Z2. We refer to lattice points as vertices, and write o = (0, 0) for the origin. The angel has a certain fixed power p. (We refer to it as a p-angel.) It starts the game at the origin, and at each play moves to another vertex so that the change in each coordinate is at most p in absolute value. On its turn, the devil can “block” any vertex other than that currently occupied by the angel. Once a vertex has been blocked, it remains blocked forever. The angel is not subsequently allowed to visit any blocked vertex. The aim of the devil is to trap the angel so that its only legal move is to remain where it is. (Of course, it would be sufficient to trap it within some bounded set.) Since the game is infinite, we speak of the angel as “escaping” if it never loses, i.e. is never trapped. (There is a finite version played on a square board, where the angel wins if it reaches the edge of the board starting from the centre.) In [BeCG] it was asked if there is some p ∈ N such that the angel of power p can always escape.
