Where Oh Where Has Our Reformed Christianity Gone? Oh Where Oh Where Can It Be?
“Modern, wimpy, soft-spoken Reformed pastors will keep talking about ‘loving your neighbor’ and pretending that the government isn’t already commanding us to sin.
They don’t care about the old people dying of isolation, the mental anguish families are going through being separated from their loved ones, or little babies like this one who now is without a mother if it survives at all. They don’t care about people who have lost their family businesses — forever. They have NEVER cared to talk about the debt-based economy that’s precipitously close to collapsing on many millions of Christian families. They’re not talking about government indoctrination centers turning our kids into communists who are burning our cities every night.
No. They’ll preach five more sermons on Grace, wear their pleated khakis, grow a beard and pretend to deserve the respect that Reformed Pastors of old could command.
I think it is well past time that we admit that the “Conservative” Reformed Church in America is a bust. We needs admit that the Reformed Clergy in America bears as much relation to John Calvin, John Knox, and Huldrych Zwingli as our modern soy boy males bear relation to Charles Martel, John Sobieski, or Godfrey of Bouillon.
Part of where that lack shows itself is in the pulpit. As Emily rightly points out the prototypical contemporary conservative Reformed clergy sermons have become reductionistic and irrelevant. We have reduced Jesus to the chorus of a Beatles song. We talk about a Jesus disconnected to the living of the people God has given us to serve and then we justify that disconnection by reciting the bald and explicit teaching by our wise-men in our Seminaries that God doesn’t speak an inscripturated Revelational Word about the public lives of God’s people. Our Clergy are insensate and can provide no direction to God’s people on the issues of our times — such as the ongoing attempted genocide of the White Christian people — because the modern conservative Clergy have been taught to believe that our physical corporeal lives don’t really matter because the realities those lives occupy are realities that won’t cross over to the New Jerusalem anyway. Christian families don’t exist now and won’t exist in the new Jerusalem we are told by Reformed Ph.d.’s. Christian civilization doesn’t exist now, can’t exist, never has existed, and won’t exist in the New Jerusalem we are told by the chaps with terminal degrees teaching your next Pastor right now. The same goes for any idea of Christian culture. You’re next Pastor is being trained right now that the idea of Christian culture is a myth… and that in “Conservative Seminaries” across the nation.  Is it any wonder that your Pastor Lovejoy thinks it’s perfectly acceptable to put his own children (as well as yours) in Government indoctrination centers to be catechized into a false faith?
And all this above… and all that Emily rightly noted is dismissed by our enemy Seminary wisemen by saying, “Well, your people can get instruction on those issues outside the Church by competing worldview Christian sources and organizations.  In this one clever move the Gospel has been divorced from Christianity. The Clergy want to be Gospel oriented, and Gospel Intentional (all the rage buzz-phrases today) but they want that as it is divorced from Christianity as the total Weltanschauung. Now these types will immediately protest that they don’t believe in Weltanschauung (World and life view) but all that tells me is that their Weltanschauung doesn’t allow them to believe in muscular and totalistic Christianity. They want the Pietistic Christianity where one gets saved, becomes an ever increasingly nicer person who fits into the expectations of their cultural surroundings with a pinch of abstract Jesus perfuming all they do.
These types have won the day in the modern “conservative” “Reformed” “Church.” They have done so because there is just a smattering of truth to what they say. That truth is found in the reality that too often it really is the case that the Reformed Church has indeed concentrated on a kind of therapeutic deistic morality disconnected from the living and resurrected Jesus Christ. We have not connected our morality enough to the office of Jesus Christ as our “eWhen we speak of properly disobeying Tyrants we should connect it with Christ’s office of our great High King. When we speak of not sending God’s covenant seed to be Humanist and Statist schools we should connect that statement that Christ, as our Great High Priest, was put to death for such sins and that as God’s Holy and Elect we should not want to sin by putting the children of God in the schools of Canaan. We need to do a better job in connecting the totality of Christianity with the Gospel of Jesus Christ as Prophet, Priest, and King. By doing so we reveal that it is the Reductionistic Gospelers who have perverted the Gospel of Jesus Christ and not those of us who want all of Christianity and not this Gnostic dualistic Christianity that is now offered up so routinely in our Reformed R2K Churches.
And that is where they want to stop. Oh, they may include some instruction on how to be a “nice” person but they refuse to describe what the Christian life looks like in the public square. They refuse to talk about Christian culture or civilization. (Remember, those things are not possible). Where they are consistent they would refuse to bring to heel any civil Magistrate for any action except possibly the forbidding of worship. For these types Christianity is all purr and no bite.
Our enemy “Gospel-Centered” Christianity responds by insisting that “we can’t allow Biblical Christianity into the pulpit. After all, no minister can be so trained as to be an expert in all these varying fields. Pastors need to become experts in the Gospel and leave the other issues to the experts in their respective fields. We don’t want Lawyers or Teachers or Anthropologists trying to be experts in the Gospel and so we shouldn’t try to be experts in those fields.” Never mind that this attitude belies the reality that all truth is organic and inter-related so that a firm understanding on Biblical Christianity does indeed give one the ability to speak to the theology driving all these different fields. As a minister, I don’t need a degree in Cultural Anthropology to identify the evolutionary presuppositions that are driving Cultural Anthropology. As a minister, I don’t need a degree in Sociology to know that Emile Durkheim was selling a Sociology that allowed for sociological and cultural relativism. As a minister I don’t need a degree in Keynesian Economics to know that debt based economies violate the Eight commandment. I don’t need a degree in history (though I have one) to be able to warn God’s people against post-modern historians who insist that objective truth doesn’t exist. I don’t need a degree in Philosophy (though I have one) to identify that the Cartesian “cogito” foundationalism is an anti-Christ epistemology. I don’t need a degree in Political Science (though I have one) to tell God’s people not to vote for politicians who embrace a political theory that presupposes that God does not exist (Marxism). The excuse that ministers can’t be expert enough to speak to different fields God’s “Thus sayeth the Lord” is errant and filthy thinking. It can be done.
So, we have to admit that this “Reformed Christianity” is a different Reformed Christianity than that which Emily is expecting. This “Gospel Centered Christianity” is not the Christianity of our Reformed forefathers who put the fear of God in Kings and Queens who ruled in defiance of the God of the Bible. This “Gospel-Oriented” Christianity is not the Christianity of Jenny Geddes though I’d love to join Jenny in throwing a few stools at its representatives on a Sunday Morning. This Klinean Calvinism is for eunuchs, cowards, and the milquetoast. If this was the type of Calvinism that had been born at Geneva the whole world would have either been conquered by Servetus or been reconquered by the counter-Reformation of the Roman Catholics.
I sure miss the Faith & Heritage website. The short answer to your lament is that people’s minds have been injected with Orwell’s ‘Crimestop’.
No reason to miss Faith and Heritage when you have Iron Ink and Tribal Theocrat.
I’m not ungrateful for yourself or Mickey Henry. I’ll always be grateful for what I still consider your best post: ‘Understanding Social Orders by Their Guiding Mythos’, Iron Ink March 20, 2018.
I just reviewed your list of favorite authors, and I share many of them, but the absence of Benjamin Morgan Palmer is conspicuous. An essay entitled ‘The Tribunal of History’ I’m sure you’d find engaging … given that the subject of eschatology has been so evident in your recent posts.

Novo Nordisk Makes Pace-Setting Donation to Boys & Girls Club
Posted on Jan 24
The Boys & Girls Club of Mercer County has announced the launch of a capital campaign to raise $7.5 million in charitable gifts to help fund an additional Clubhouse and to build an endowment to help offset program operating costs of the new Career & Education Center.
The Club’s More Than Hope campaign is anchored by a $1 million commitment from Novo Nordisk, the global health care company with US headquarters in Plainsboro. Jeff Frazier, corporate vice president of human resources and a member of the Boys & Girls Club board of directors, made the announcement today during ceremonies held at Novo Nordisk. He was joined by Eddie Williams, corporate vice president of biopharmaceuticals and chairman of the More Than Hope Campaign. More than 40 supporters attended the campaign kickoff.
The new Boys & Girls Club, to be located at 1040 Spruce Street, will provide a wide range of program opportunities for children and teens from the City of Trenton, as well as from Lawrence and Ewing Townships.
“By making an investment with the Boys & Girls Club of Mercer County, we are making an investment in our community and its future,” said Williams. “We know that healthy lifestyle choices begin at a young age. The Boys & Girls Club provides access to physical activity, education and mentors to those youths who are most at risk. We hope that our neighbors join us in supporting this incredible organization so they can continue the great work they’ve done.”
Novo Nordisk is a longtime supporter of the Boys & Girls Club of Mercer County. In addition to providing financial support, Novo Nordisk employees serve on the Club’s Board of Directors, volunteer at day camps, serve as career mentors, and coordinate an innovative summer internship program for local high school seniors.
“The Boys & Girls Club has benefited greatly from Novo Nordisk’s Triple Bottom Line operating strategy,” said David E. Anderson, executive director. “Their investment in the Club has enabled us to shape and save countless members’ lives.”
Through the More Than Hope campaign, the Club plans to double of number of teenagers in its programs as well as introduce a variety of vocational and technical career tracks for non college-bound teens.
The new 35,000 sq. ft. facility will house a wide variety of programs and include a 5,200 sq. ft. gymnasium (to be named in honor of Novo Nordisk), a teen center, a technology center, a game room, a teaching kitchen and café, and several multi-purpose classrooms.
“The gymnasium will be the centerpiece of activity in the new Clubhouse,” said Anderson. “From sport leagues to fitness activities to family nights, the gym will constantly be filled with members benefiting from Novo Nordisk’s generosity.”

Personally, I would like to see a 2D physics engine option with kinematics more inline with other engines (you know, velocity and event driven, etc.). I would also like to see yet another 2D engine with simplified/faster physics much like Phaser’s Arcade Physics (non-rotated rectangles and circles only). But, considering that the demand for that engine would likely only be for low-powered platforms like browsers, I expect little support for this idea.

What Did You Think Without Spoiling it?
Sushi Mushi is a fun and addictive random opponents. It’s a pretty simple game to understand – just match up 3 of the same color or shape and earn points and beat your opponent. Throughout the game you can complete achievements that will bump you up a belt color. Each round goes pretty quickly and it’s a perfect time waster.
For the most part, the touch controls for Sushi Mushi are pretty good, but there are occasions where it doesn’t register my swipes. This is pretty frustrating when I have traced over a long line of matches and for some reason it only registers my first three. This doesn’t happen that often so it isn’t gamebreaking.
Aside from the occasional swipe issue, my only other issue is that practice mode (AKA snack mode) costs coins. I get that the developer is hoping people will make in-app purchases, but it’s kind of a shame that I can’t just practice for free.
I do like the fact that you increase your belt color, but it doesn’t really do anything as far as I can see. I’ve been battling yellow belts, brown belts and even black belts as an orange belt.
Since this is a free game, there are ads. Pretty much anytime you start a new round or match there will be an ad that you will have to exit out of. It can be a little annoying, but there is the option to pay $0.99 to remove all ads.
- Always wait until your opponent has finished tallying their score and eating their sushi before purchasing a boost item. When I see that the opponent has sushi left, I always purchase the item that highlights rob rolls.
- There are several different items that can pop up from the takeout box: Blowfish – blows up surrounding sushi; Bomb – blows up surrounding sushi; Color-changing fish – removes all the fish of the color that you choose; Rice – score doubler; Fortune cookie – gives you a fortune and allows you to play the slots to earn coins.

Ethos Life | May 12, 2022
Recent news coverage of the mental health crisis among teens gives special poignancy to the advent of Mental Health Awareness Month this year.
As President Joe Biden noted in his proclamation marking last year’s observance, nearly“e’reatment.”
A survey Ethos recently conducted highlighted how seriously we now take mental health. Americans spend more time thinking about their and their family’s mental health than about inflation, COVID-19, death, or climate change. Only physical health, personal finance, and the war in Ukraine are more top of mind. Good news is on the horizon, though – Americans are more willing to talk about mental health. Given a list of traditionally “taboo” topics - money, sex, religion, politics, mental health, and death - Americans said they’d be wiling to talk about money first, followed by mental health. That’s progress, and you can see more results here.
Take care of yourself and your family this month, and reach out if you need help. We’ve listed some comprehensive resources below.

Special report | The total cost
Adding up the fiscal drag from ageing, energy and defence
The bill for the future looms ever larger
In 2006 nato members set a target for defence spending of 2% of gdp. In 2014, after Russia annexed Crimea, they pledged to meet this target by 2024. But by 2021 most countries still fell short: averaging across western Europe, defence spending was only 1.6% of gdp. Some big countries—Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain—were the worst offenders, spending just 1.3-1.5%governments once again promised to reach the target. The Netherlands now says it will hit 2% in 2025; Italy will do so by 2028. Germany says its spending will exceed the 2% target at an unspecified date. In Britain, which spent 2.2% of gdp on defence in 2021, the new prime minister Liz Truss wants to spend 3% of gdp by 2030.
Such pledges create more long-term pressure on government budgets, on top of ageing and net zero. The Economist has added them all up. The big uncertainty surrounds the energy transition, for which we apply the midpoint of estimates surveyed by imf staff: an average of 0.2% of gdp a year. This includes only the investment costs of decarbonisation, so assuming that revenues from taxing fossil fuels will be replaced as pollution falls. For forecast changes to health and pension spending, we use imf forecasts, which include a projection of growth in health-care costs based on historical trends.
The total extra annual fiscal squeeze from these three sources by 2030 is in the region of 2-3% of gdp. That is a manageable figure, but a painful one. In all the countries in our analysis the tax burden, as a percentage of gdp, is already at or close to its historical maximum. Funding this extra annual spending purely from higher revenues would take taxes to unprecedented levels.
The alternative of debt financing may work for a while, especially in Germany, which has the lowest debt-to-gdp ratios among big European economies. However, this is not a sustainable solution, because the fiscal pressure will last for decades. Eventually room to borrow more will be used up, even when interest rates are low. Moreover, the pressure on budgets will continue after 2030 as Europe goes on ageing.
In Italy there is not even room for manoeuvre in the near term. It already has huge net debts of nearly 140% of gdp. At an average financing cost of around 4.5% (roughly its current ten-year bond yield), inflation around 2% (the ecb’s target) and economic growth around 1% (an optimistic forecast once post-pandemic catch-up is exhausted) it needs a budget surplus before interest of nearly 2% of gdp just to stop its debt growing faster than its economy. A financing cost of 5% would push the required surplus to over 2.5% of gdp.
Italy has achieved surpluses of this size before, and it is getting a boost from the European Union’s recovery fund. But an additional fiscal drag of 2.9% of gdp, by our calculations, will make surpluses much harder to deliver. And on current projections Italy’s median age will not peak until the 2060tal bill"

It's Time for Change in Medical Education: It's TIME for ITME
Fred Donini-Lenhoff, M.A.
Barbara Barzansky, Ph.D
The Initiative to Transform Medical Education (ITME) was launched by the AMA in 2005 to address needed concerns in a medical. Its goal is to promote excellence in patient care by reforming medical education from the pre-medical years through continuing education for practicing physicians.
Strengths of the current system were identified as knowledge and technical proficiency, physician concern for individual patients, and patient respect for physicians. Gaps and areas needing improvement were more extensive. Physicians are not prepared to adjust or improve the health care system, and are ill equipped to act as patient advocates on social issues orn about resource allocation. They often lose their altruism through their training years, and have difficulty dealing with uncertainty. Managing information and effectively using technology also presents a challenge. Physicians typically expect to be autonomous in treating patients, yet are often uncomfortable discussing delicate issues with those patients.
The ITME identified ten ways to improve medical education. These include: assessing interpersonal skills in the admissions process; creating alternative pathways to medical education; introducing core competencies with accompanying methods of evaluation; assisting current faculty in shifting to the new paradigm; rewarding participants for their buy-in; modeling appropriate behaviors in the educational process; enhancing coordination among licensing, certifying, and accrediting bodies; funding medical education research and development; and evaluating effectiveness based on outcomes.
Change in admissions requirements is one way to change the system. The ITME suggests that greater breadth of coursework in pre-medical years as well as significant commitment to service would be good starting points. They also recommended that humanism, ethics, and professionalism be built into the curriculum at all points.
Entering the Continuum: Undergraduate Preparation for Medical School
Carol L. Elam, Ed.D.
Although the continuum of education for physicians is well defined, it is often not well integrated. The author has collected a series of articles describing medical school, the skills necessary for success in these courses, and recommendations for appropriate undergraduate preparation. The common thread is a general sense of what it takes to be successful in the first years of medical school.
Getting Started: A Primer on Comprehension
R. J. Jacob, Ph.D.
Successful medical and dental students are self-directed, life long learners. Jacob describes four levels of learning, each with progressively better comprehension and retention. The higher the level, the greater the chances are for success in a medical curriculum.
Bruce E. Maley, Ph.D.
Maley asserts that the primary purpose of most anatomy courses is to teach the language of the profession to allow for communication in the discipline. A challenge for most students is working with a dead body and this creates considerable stress. The other major challenge is coping with the sheer volume of information. Suggestions for preparation include taking comparative anatomy, taking an anatomy/physiology course that includes dissection, and taking a medical terminology class. Even with such a background, medical students must be able to use the information, not just memorize the facts. Maley suggests study groups as a way of learning to use the information just learned, to find reasons for learning the extensive amount of information, and becoming comfortable with making mistakes. He also encourages students to seek faculty assistance to maximize efficiency in studying.
This area involves the study of cells, their organization into tissue, and ultimately into organs. It introduces the student to the appearance and organization of normal human tissue and organs. Although molecular biology has crept into some courses, MacPherson feels strongly that “what we can see” is a critical aspect of the course. Assessment is typically multiple choice and focuses on facts, not comparisons. Digital microscopy is becoming common as a way of more efficiently staffing labs. Group study is encouraged.
Dexter F. Speck, Ph.D.
Phy body, and typically integrates many disciplines to describe health and disease. The study balances mathematical principles of predictability with biological principles of variability. It involves extensive use of charts and graphs, a skill often lacking from undergraduate studies. Comfort level in reading and interpreting graphs predicts success in this course. Once again, students are encouraged to study in small groups.
Thomas N. Oeltmann, Ph.D.
Biochemistry studies the structure, function, and interaction of bio-molecules, their synthesis and degradation, and the mechanisms by which their activities are coordinated and regulated. It also includes the pathways by which they are converted to usable energy and d. Medical school courses focus on mammalian systems. Students with a good background in generally fare well in these courses.
Medical Behavioral Science
H. Jean Wiese, Ph.D.
John F. Wilson, Ph.D.
Medical behavioral science includes multiple social science disciplines. The authors note the Institute of Medicine ’s recommendations for teaching basic behavioral principles. They recommend that undergraduates take courses in social sciences to broaden their knowledge, but also to become familiarervice and service learning are valuable preparation as well.
David W. Rudy, M.D.
Traditionally composed of learning how to take a history and how to perform a physical exam, this course has broadened in recent years to include the doctor-patient relationship and general communication skills. It may also include learning to present a case, write up a medical case, and write progress notes for a patient chart. Suggestions for undergraduates include taking a broad range of courses outside of the sciences, learning to reflect on experiences, and developing good communication skills. Seminar classes and experiential learning are also encouraged.
Jeffrey N. Davidson, Ph.D.
Medical genetics, the study of the interaction of genetic mutations and environment, has become an integral part of all medical specialties. The focus is on disease and abnormality, and undergraduate preparation in molecular biology may be more useful than a standard genetics course. The author recommends also taking courses in ethics, religion, and psychology. Comprehension is more effective than memorization.
Donna R. Weber, Ph.D.
Pharmacology studies the mechanism of drug action on the body, the kinetics of drug absorption, metabolism and elimination, and the use of drugs in disease prevention and treatment. Weber suggests that undergraduates prepare by taking biochemistry, anatomy and physiology. She also recommends that students learn about drugs as consumers by reading labels and package inserts. Success is predicted by learning at the highest levels as defined by Bloom’s Taxonomy, staying current with coursework, understanding one’s personal learning style, and actively engaging in class.
Demystifying Careers in Medicine: The Physician-Student Mentoring Program at Butler University
The authors describe a physician mentoring program established in 2006 at Butler U. Sophomore pre-medical students are matched with a physician mentor for a 2 year commitment. Students and mentors complete a participation form and meet at least once each semester. In addition to shadowing opportunities, the pairs share a meal, attend a performance, or engage in a volunteer activity. Mentors may be alumni or local physicians and are matched with students by medical interests, general interests, and gender.
The program is too new to have assessment data, but appears to be successful. Students are enjoying the experience and are learning from their mentor. Some have learned that a medical career is not appropriate for them to pursue.
Health Professions Advisors and AHECs: A Partnership That Benefits All
Jason C. Baker, Ph.D.
Authors Baker and Overfelt describe an effective partnership betweeand the health professions advising services at Missouri Western State University. By collaborating on programs, they conserve time and resources, as well as providing good attendance for their various activities. The AHEC office has extensive contacts with health professionals, and staff to organize events. The pre-medical students become familiar with AHEC, and, presumably, are more apt to work with them when they get into practice. Working with the AHEC also makes it easier to work with other institutions creating a larger audience for speakers and recruiters. Some examples of collaborative efforts include mock exams, mock interviews, personal statement writing sessions, and day long workshops on specific medical topics.
Not So Elementary, Dr. Watson: Points to Ponder When Gang Involvement is Detected in an Applicant's Background
Wafeeq Sabir, Ph.D.
Charrise Meadows
The use of criminal background checks has created a new concern in medical school admissions: how to deal with gang activity and affiliation. “Gangs” are defined specifically by state penal codes as groups regularly engaging in criminal activity. Further definition includes the common use of identification (name or symbol) andcriminal activity. Some of the issues of concern are the level of perceived threat, the types of criminal activity (petty theft vs murder), and the misidentification of individuals as gang members. Especially troubling is the disproportionate assignment of gang membership to minority members. Although there are criteria by which individuals are labeled as gang members, these vary, are used inconsistently, and may be applied by law enforcement agents with little or no training about gangs. The authors present an interesting and convincing case of misidentification.
The authors in no way condone true gang activity or the violence associated with it. Rather, they suggest caution in making assumptions about individuals and offer two major suggestions. First, that gang membership and related criminal activity be carefully researched, and that assistance should be sought of someone with specialized training in gangs. The second suggestion is to keep an open mind. Some gang members do get out, go back to school, and set a positive course for themselves. The applicant should be considered as an individual with potential positive attributes as well as some negatives in their past.

Thanks to the expectations that made it the flagship project of San Sebastián European Capital of Culture 2016 and its relevance to the achievement of a lasting peace (the most pressing issue on the Basque political agenda), the exhibition Tratados de Paz was promoted as an artistic event of unprecedented dimensions in the city. Taking as a starting point the controversy it generated in the public and press, this article analyzes the exhibition’s production process: the bringing together of a set of human and nonhuman agents whose attempts to reconcile their respective interests generated meaning. To this end, the article explores the conflictive relationship between two different approaches to art that pervaded the exhibition project: art as sublime object and as archive. This opposition helps not only to explain the artistic and cultural limits of the exhibition proposal but also to identify the sociopolitical categories underpinning it. These opposing logics were not preestablished but resulted from a combination of practices and materials shaping a project that did more to stir up controversy than to solve problems. For this reason, the exhibition failed to meet many of the expectations placed on it, while at the same time opening up new lines of discussion in the city’s artistic sector.

Keywords: insolation contrast, total mass balance, mountain glaciers, correlation analysis, regression model, forecast
On the basis of high-precision astronomical ephemeris with a high spatial and temporal resolution, the insolation of the Earth at the upper boundary of the atmosphere was calculated for the period from 3000 BC through 2999 AD. The differences from the earlier calculations of insolation are associated with the initial astronomical data and new calculation algorithms. In our calculations of insolation, the time interval of 5999 years and the entire surface of the Earth are covered in detail. The Earth is not identified with a sphere, but is approximated by an ellipsoid. Previously, calculations of high-frequency variations in insolation were performed for individual parallels (in space), and in time for four or five separate points of the year (equinoxes, solstices and, sometimes, points with a geocentric longitude of 120 degrees). We have calculated insolation for the surface of latitudinal zones at 1° latitude and time intervals equal to 1/360 of the duration of a tropical year (approximately a day). Correlation analysis of the total mass balance of alpine glaciers (for the period from the balance years 1948/1949 to 2009/2010) with summer and winter insolation and summer, winter and annual insolation contrast of the northern hemisphere, which in a summarized forms (by regions of heat source and sink) reflects long-term changes in the meridional insolation gradient. It has been determined that the long-term variability in the total mass balance of alpine glaciers on average (for glaciers covered by balance observations) is accounted for by the trend by 94.3 %. The trend in the reduction of alpine glaciers by an average of 90.6 % is determined by the annual insolation contrast, which reflects an increase in the meridional heat transfer, determined by an increase in the meridional contrast of radiant energy (on the Earth’s surface, excluding the atmosphere). Based on the close correlations determined by using a regression model, a forecast of the total mass balance of glaciers up to 2050 AD was made, which indicates a catastrophic development of the degradation of the modern glaciation of the Alps.

The use diverse, multi-temporal satellite space information has become the main approach in investigating the current status of mountain glaciers. We have accumulated large archives of satellite images of snow-glacial systems on Earth with different spatial resolutions over the past 50 years. Together with the previously created topographic maps displaying glaciers, glacier catalogs, special maps and atlases of ice and snow, they give grounds to determine changes in areas, lengths, volumes, and altitude of glaciers during the current climate warming. In 1986, the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS) was founded to monitor glacier fluctuations in different regions of the Earth. However, the number of observation sites is limited. The Global Ground Glacier Observing Network mainly includes those glaciers where we previously conducted ground-based studies of glacier front fluctuations, mass balance measurements, measurements of meteorological parameters, ice flow velocities, and ablation features. To identify regional differences, different altitude and plan locations, the influence of permafrost, and the background landscape environment requires data on a larger number of glaciers being analyzed. Therefore, groups of researchers from Irkutsk and Beijing, started to study the dynamics of glaciers in the inland regions of Eurasia within the framework of international projects. Several glaciers were selected in the mountains of the south of Eastern Siberia, the Mongolian Altai and the eastern part of the Tien Shan. We recorded current glacier fronts and their elevation marks. The lengths and areas of glaciers in the early 1970s and early 2000s and their current state were determined. In recent decades, some connections between the dynamics of glaciers and changes in meteorological parameters have been revealed.
TRANSFORMATION OF IRRIGATED LANDS IN REGIONS OF RUSSIA IN THE POST-SOVIET PERIOD
A.P. Demiameliorative condition of irrigated landrrigated lands, area of actually irrigated land, drip irrigation
The transformation of irrigated lands in the regions of Russia over a long period of time has been studied. It was found that from 1990 to 2018. Iand area decreased by a factor of 4-14, and in two of them it increased by 35-40 %. It was found that 735 thousand hectares of irrigated land (16 %) were not used in agricultural production in 2018, largely due to soil salinization and waterlogging, with only 3.7 % corresponding to the year 1990. It is concluded that it is necessary to quickly bring into production the unused irrigated lands in order to enhance food security and increase exports of food and agricultural raw materials. The transformation of the structure of irrigated agricultural land in Russia as a whole is less perceptible, whereas in some regions it is conspicuous. There is a need to increase the share of forage crops in irrigated crop rotations to improve soil fertility, and increase the production of forage and livestock products. It is shown that in recent decades in Russia there has been a steady trend in deterioration in the reclamation state of irrigated lands. A particularly unfavorable situation has developed in the Northwestern District. The area in which capital improvements are required to increase the technical level of irrigation systems has increased dramatically. The area of actually irrigated land progressively decreased from 4.9 million hectares in 1990 to 1.4 million hectares in 2016. On the other hand, drip irrigation systems are rapidly developing, which have shown high efficiency. It has been established that it is necessary to develop more widely the production of drip irrigation systems at domestic and joint ventures in Russian regions. Data on the beginning of the revival of the production of domestic sprinkling equipment, which is not inferior to foreign counterparts and is much cheaper, are presented.

Keywords: natural zones, classification of landscapes, global warming, analytical forecasting modeling, forecasting mapping, forecast landscape-ecological scenarios
A forecasting cartographic modeling of the direction and rate of transformation of the region’s landscape-zonal structure has been carried out according to one of the scenarios of global climate change. The methodology of predictive analytical calculations as an algorithm for operations with climatic niches of geo (eco-) systems is described. Regional mapping of focal and induction phytocoenological transformation of landscapes of various natural zones was performed by using the thermo-humid variant of regional warming. It is shown that the zonal component of the climatogenic transformation of geosystems is the primary object of regional landscape-ecological forecasting. On the forecast maps of the dominant focal transformation of landscapes, two dynamic characteristics are shown: 1) the prevailing tendency for a given type of landscape to move from its “own” natural zone (subzone) to another zonal subdivision, and 2) the general degree of interzonal phytocoenological transformations of landscapes of a given species. The secondary induction transformation of landscapes, associated with their transboundary interaction and determining the degree of displacement of landscape boundaries, actually manifests itself only for landscape neighbors of the first order, with a corresponding shift of landscape boundaries. A quantitative assessment of the influence of “generic barriers” characterizing the morphogenetic contrasts of the natural-territorial mosaic pattern on the system of landscape-zonal transitions is given. Fragments of forecast maps of focal and induction transformation of landscapes in the Volga river basin are presented. The processes of phytocoenotic transformations of the landscapes for the predicted periods of 2050, 2075 and 2100 are briefly described. In the western sector of the Volga basin, mass transgression of boreal vegetation into the subzone of deciduous forests and even into the middle forest-steppe is predicted. In the eastern, pre-Ural sector, on the contrary, the introduction of broad-leaved and forest-steppe communities in the boreal zone is expected.

Experimental investigations were made into the basicity-acidityindices (pH) and soil biochemical activity (SBA) in the industrial city of Ust’-Ilimsk in conditions of Eastern Siberia. Af values of integral indicators of soils in the city is presented for the first time. The significance of the method of mapping urban soils experiencing urbanization and technogenesis is emphasized. The investigation was made by using the express method of determining the soil biochemical activity. In addition to this indicator, pH conditions of soils were identified. The study encompassed the main functional zones of two parts of Ust’-Ilimsk: the Old City (Levoberezhie) and the New City (Pravoberezhie). Of widespread occurrence on the territory are the neutral and weakly alkaline soils. The pH values vary from 7.4 to 7.8; in the control soils, they vary from 6.3 to 6.9. A significant area of the city (43.9 %) is occupied by weakly alkaline soils. The level of soil biochemical activity permitted us to categorize the soils as active and very active. The proportion of very active soils makes up 32.9 % of the total territory of the city. This indicates a trend of ecological regression, namely a loss of the biogenic element, nitrogen. The study revealed trends of a weak but positive dependence of SBA on pH. The coefficients of approximation are positive and vary, according to the zones of the city, from 0.2 to 0.5. The absolute and relative distribution of the areas with pH and SBA values is shown. A comparative analysis of data revealed a difference of the Ust’-Ilimsk soils from the soils in other cities of the Angara region.

Ecological consequences of a large landslide on the shores of the Bureya reservoir For the first time in the winter period (December 2018), a landslide occurred on the Bureya reservoir, the largest in Russia in the last decade. This phenomenon is not typical for Khabarovsk krai. Results from investigating toxic organic matter in the water and aufeis in the zone of influence of the landslide and after the collapse of the dam composed of rocks are discussed. A comparative analysis of aromatic compounds by gas chromatography in the water around the landslide body before and after explosions in the resulting artificial canal has been carried out. Among dominant components in the water, a number of toxic substances were detected, including methanol and methylated benzene derivatives, the concentration of which increased after drainage of water through the landslide body. It was found that a large number of volatile organic substances had a natural origin and could be contained in the pore space of rocks. After explosive blasting, an increase in the content of hexane and isopropyl benzene was observed in the water of the artificial canavolatile organic substances has been influenced to a greater extent by rock grinding both immediately after the landslide and after the explosive blasting. Ecological risks for the reservoir ecosystem are as a result of various biogeochemical processes occurring in the pore space during watering of rocks, during their thawing/freezing, the transformation of vegetal debris and detonation products of explosives.

Keywords: bottom relief, bathymetry, digital model, paleoreconstruction, correlations
Based on analyzing bathymetric material obtained in different years by using high-precision geophysical equipment featuring multi-beam echo sounders, the main bottom relief features of the South, Middle and North basins of the Baikal depression are considered. It has been established that ridge-ravine forms and canyon valleys are well developed on the underwater slope of all depressions. The valleys of the canyons of the Middle and South basins reach the maximum maturity, which is associated with a longer history of the evolution of these basins. The canyon valleys are highly sinuous thereunderlying substrate and fault tectonics. The canyons of the western side of the Baikal depression are predominantly tectogenic in origin, are short in length and show a significant steepness of the longitudinal profile; their valleys are mostly rectilinear. The underwater slope along the eastern coast of the North basin and its abyssal surface are complicated by a set of glacial landforms: moraine swells and fan cones formed by turbidite flows during interglacial periods. On the coast, they are continued by very extended swells of lateral and stadial moraines. Tectogenic scarps are widespread in the lower parts of the underwater slopes and run usually parallel to the coastline. It has been established that a very characteristic form of the sloping relief of the South basin are the flat-convex surfaces of the deltas which sometimes reach the abyssal surface of the lake. Numerous outcrops of Miocene-Pliocene limnic sediments on the eastern coast of the Middle basin, and the nature of their spatial arrangement suggests that the sedimentary strata of the underwater slope of this basin may be of the same age and genetically homogeneous with terrestrial strata, which are Miocene-Pliocene in age. Similar deposits of the Tankhoi field on the southern coast of the depression also extend far into the water area of the lake, which gives grounds to confirm the existing points of view about the similar history of the development of the South and Middle basins.

Keywords: national park, landscape structure, recreational activities, environmental problems, risk, sustainable development
We made a map of the contemporary landscape structure on the key site (Goloustnoe coast) to analyze the recreational development of the coast of Lake Baikal; based on this map, we identified the main factors of natural attract. Considering the economic and geographical patterns of the region combined with its landscape and recreational potential, we determined historically formed and preferred types of recreation activities. With a view to reveal environmental problems, we identified the main directions for recreational activities thatlandscape complexes in the area. It is pointed out that a low level of ecological culture of vacationers is often the chief cause for an intensification of adverse events. Therefore, the risk of crisis situations is borne not only by tourists, but also by the operation of recreational infrastructure facilities. Geoimages obtained by processing images taken with an unmanned aerial vehicle helped to identify the foci of greatest environmental tension, as well as present quantitative parameters characterizing the extent of the negative impact. Having considered the high degree of sensitivity of landscape complexes to anthropogenic impact, we proposed ecotourism-oriented leisure activities that can not only reduce the burden on the part of recreational activities, but also increase the level of environmental morality. Besides, we provided the examples of recreational facilities, already existing on the Goloustnoe coast of Lake Baikal and methods of their management, guaranteeing environmental stability, which is necessary ithe Baikal territory.

The differentiation of the elements according to the phase composition of natural waters, which reliably characterizes the geoecological situation in the region of the Unzha river basin (the left tributary of the Volga river), the basicity of soil-geochemical processes and associated flows of matter and energy in soils and landscapes, was studied. Studies were carried out in key areas of landscapes in the middle and lower reaches of the river valley (35 soil sections were established). It is found that the natural waters of the Unzha basin constitute a complex multicomponent system where the ion composition of the waters and the reaction of the medium vary over a broad range according to their lithogenic component and water category. Migration of Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu in soil-ground waters of the Unzha basin proceeds mainly in suspended material, and in the dissolved phase in the waters of brooks, rivers and wells. In the waters of brooks and rivers, the total amount of suspended material is smaller than in soil-ground water; therefore, its role in the transfer of Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu is reduced accordingly. Migration of these elements increases in the composition of soluble humic acids, mainly fulvic acids. The role of dissolved humic acids, largely fulvic acids, in the transfer of Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu averages 28 %, 10, 41.9 and 33.7 %, respectively. Along with fulvic acids, the role of humic acids in the removal of these elements increases in bogs rich in organic matter. In the waters of the Unzha river, its tributaries and brooks, the coefficient of water migration КхFe = 0.4according to Perelman’s classification. In the soil-ground water, Fe migration increases further: КхFe = 0.5. According to the intensity of water migration in the landscapes of the Unzha river, the elements are arranged in the following decreasing sequence: Zn ≥ Cu ≥ Mn ≥ Fe. A marked increase in the mobility of elements occurs in the acidic environment of the bog waters (pH 3.7-4.1), rich in dissolved organic matter.
PATTERNS OF SUSPENDED SEDIMENT LOAD SEASONALITY ALONG THE LENA RIVER BRAIDED CHANNEL

Keywords: suspended sediment concentration, sediment budget, remote sensing methods, braided channel, runoff distribution in branches
Based on water sediment concentration modeling using the collection of Landsat images for the period 1992-2018, highly detailed (30-m resolution) features of suspended sediment load along the 200-km braided channel reach of the Lena river from Pokrovsk to the mouth of the Aldan river (upstream of the Aldan braiding) are described. It is shown that large anabranching river reaches correspond to changes of the system of sediment transport and accumulation manifesting themselves as a predominance of occurrences of positive (increase) or negative (decrease) DS0 values (where DS0 stands for suspended sediment concentration budget). The conditions of longitudinal decrease in suspended sediment concentration along the length of the braided reach of the Lena river are characterized by high water discharges (>20 000 m3/s) and are associated with sediment accumulation at riffles and floodplain areas. It is established that a significant role in the longitudinal decrease in water sediment concentration is played by lateral floodplain branches which accumulate a part of the incoming suspended sediments and have a dilution influence on the sediment flow downstream of the confluence with the main channel. Cases of a longitudinal increase in water suspended sediment concentration are typical for the lower water flow rates (<20 000 m3/s) and are connected increased bank erosion due to thermal erosion in summer as well as erosion of riffles during a low-water period. A combination of the grid of suspended sediment concentration, velocities and channel depths with a 30 30-m resolution (more than 20 000 cells) for low-water conditions revealed a dependence of local suspended sediment concentration on the transporting capacity of the flow which was determined for separate verticals. A correspondence between the regime of certain reaches in different phases of water regime is observed. Such a correspondence indicates the mutual influence of the directedness of mass exchange and channel morphology. The transformation of distribution systems of suspended sediments can be interpreted as one of the self-regulation mechanisms in the channel system. Complex systems of sediment flow distribution along the channel of a large river reflect the opposite directedness of erosion-accumulation processes caused by bends in the longitudinal profile.

This article summarizes material of geobotanical and biogeochemical studies into the vegetation of the Irkut river valley in the spurs of the Kitoi Goletzes of the Eastern Sayan Mountains. An analysis is made of the features in spatial structure, floristic and phytocenotic diversity of vegetation of cryo-steppe open woodland, taiga larch forests and meadow-bog complexes in the high-mountain valley of the Irkut river. It is found that the landscapes of the subalpine cold forest-steppe represented by a combination of sparse herbaceous (ptylagrostis-kobresia, fescue) larch forests, shrub groups with the involvement of Spiraea alpina, Betula rotundifolia, and Dasiphora fruticosa, and communities of cryophytic steppes typically occur at altitudes of 2000 m above the sea level. They latter constitute the original element of forest-steppe, which are often dominated by the endemic fescue Festuca komaroviis. The dominant taiga vegetation is dominated by larch forests. Larch forests are dominant in the composition of prevailing taiga vegetation. These are mainly lingonberry-rhododendron-lichen larch forests and larch forests with lingonberry moss-lichen communities. The communities of subalpine larch forests of the Il’chir urochishche showed the presence of anomalies in gold content in samples of fruticose lichens, reindeer lichen, revealed. Gold content in lichen samples varies from 0.1 to 0.8, and in some places it reaches 1-3 g/t. In general, in the Sayan alpine landscapes, gold-sulfide vein zones are known to occur in rocks of the Paleozoic volcanogenic-terrigenous formation and at its contact with the carbonate formation. Along the slope, gentle watershed ridges overgrown with taiga larch forests are interspersed with narrow hollows of cryogenic subsidence with the occurrence of boggy willow forests, sedge-cobresia, and ptyagrostis meadows with Dasiphora fruticosa. Only at the foothills, on bedrock terraces with outcrops of rocks of the Paleozoic carbonate formation, communities of cobresia-fescue alpine steppe are formed.

Keywords: organic matter, hydrocarbons, genesis, phytopigments, bacteria, n-alkanes
The composition, distribution, and genesis of organic components in bottom sediments of the Tumnin river were studied for a comprehensive assessment of their current environmental status. A study of particle size distribution revealed the dominance of the pelitic fraction in the sediments of most of the sites (up to 98.8 %). It was found that the spatial variability in the accumulation organic substances in bottom sediments led to a significant scatter in the minimum and maximum concentrations of organic carbon, by a factor of 65, and in the mass fraction of hydrocarbons, by a factor of 136. According to hydrocarbon content (from 9 to 680 mg/kg), the sediments are estimated in the range of “slightly polluted” - “very dirty”. According to the content of sedimentary pigments (from 16.1 to 39.8 mg/kg), most of the sediments are of the eutrophic type. Correlations between the main sources of organic matter in the sediments under investigation were revealed: hydrocarbons and organic carbon (r = 0.674), the content of pigments and hydrocarbons (r = 0.869), and the content of phytopigments and heterotrophic bacteria (r = 0.888). It is concluded that the value of overload of the self-purification capacity of the bottom sediments from hydrocarbons is closely associated with the presence of phytopigments (r = 0.873) and the number of heterotrophic bacteria (r = 0.959), which is due to their production and destruction activity in relation to hydrocarbonsbutanol, methanol, acetaldehyde, acetone, etc.) indicate that bottom sediments contribute to secondary pollution of the river water. The study of the molecular composition of hydrocarbons revealed the dominance of biogenic compounds of terrigenous genesis (53.2-76.7 % of the sum), which is important in differentiating anthropogenic impacts for purposes of environmental monitoring.

Keywords: industrial production, employed in industry, investments, leading sectors of the economy, municipalities
The article discusses recent changes in the development of industrial production in Irkutsk oblast from 2010 to 2019. Industry is the basic component in the economic complex; it provides about half of the region‘s gross added value and is characterized by a multi-sectoral structure formed primarily on the basis of using natural resources and cheap electricity. It is pointed out that in the last decade, a significant change in the structure of industry has led to a structural simplification of its sectoral composition with a significant shift toward the raw materials sector. Cities remain the leading centers of concentration of the manufacturing industry. The grouping of municipalities according to the level of industrial development was carried out according to the available statistical data: the calculated share of the employed in industry and the volume of shipped products of large and medium-sized organizations. On the basis of their ratio, groups of regions with intensive development of the extractive industries, primarily the oil and gas sector, as well as territories, the industrial profile of which was formed in Soviet times but underwent transformations under the influence of changes in the market, were identified. A group of regions with very low industrial development has been identified, in which economic activities are mainly related to agriculture, logging, transport, and tourism. It is shown that some of the municipalities have changed their position in the groups when compared to 2010. The rest of the composition is relatively stable. It was found that in the first and fourth groups there occurred a change in priority in the development of types of economic activity, whereas the second and third groups show a change in their proportions. Large business contributes to the extreme uneven distribution of investments across the oblast in the implementation of investment projects.

Keywords: Lake Baikal, region, recreational-geographical location, multiscaleness, ecological awareness, ecological movements
An attempt is made to empirically enrich the theoretical ideas of the economic-geographical location of cities by means of an individual economic-geographic analysis. It is shown that the most important component of monitoring the economic-geographical location implies analyzing the ecological-geographical location of a city, and for the city of Irkutsk it is of special interestthe economic-geographical location and in a multi-scale manner, because both look different at different scales. The following scales were studied: the Global scale, the All-Russian scale, the scales of the Angara-Yenisei and Baikal regions as well as the south of Irkutsk oblast. The two variants of regionalization of Eastern Siberia are not opposed to each other but are considered as equal, allocated for different purposes and forming the geographical location of Irkutsk in different ways. As for the south of the Oblast, its allocation as a special geographical system and an independent object of research is justified. An integral part of the research done involves examination of the recreational-geographical location in terms of the traditions of the citizens’ recreation: both weekend recreation and multi-day tourism, which gives rise to considering different scales and slightly different ideas of the geographic location. The analysis includes a historical context: it shows how in the relatively recent past Irkutsk became a place of non-standard political activity, which is associated with public awareness of its ecological-geographical location, formed on the basis of the obvious recreational-geographical location.among young people, showing that the rudiments of such awareness are still present, but it is largely weakened compared to the 1980s.

The formation features in the ethnic structure and settlements of Barguzin Cisbaikalia across the territory of the modern Barguzinskii and Kurumkanskii districts of the Republic of Buryatia are considered. On the basis of archival sources and field research material, the impact of socio-administrative transformations, methods of economic activity and the specifics of the natural environment on the placement of the newcomer and old-time population are revealed. The adaptive features of local communities are shown, which led to sustainability of the traditions of nature management and everyday interethnic contacts. The nature of the settlement of the territory and the formation of a network of settlements in different historical periods had its own specifics and, at the same time, was largely determined by the degree of the preservation of the complex of nature management traditional for the ethnos: agricultural-commercial, animal husbandry-commercial, hunting-commercial and fisheries, with a number of transitional options which formed in the course of constant interaction of ethnic groups in the region. It was foun of human habitat are characteristic for the study area and the peoples inhabiting it. The distribution of settlements, temporary and permanent camps in different historical periods reflected the state of the ethnocultural landscape, determined the location of its functional zones and areas as well as contributing to the formation of the identity of the local population.

The fundamental changes in the land use and condition of the land in Gujrat (Punjab province, Pakistan), which have occurred over the past several decades, have been studied. They have a long history and represent an important factor in global changes in urban landscape. An attempt is made to determine the spatio-temporal changes in land use and land areas caused by anthropogenic activities. The study was carried out on the basis of multi-time satellite images (for 1985, 1995, 2005 and 2015) of the US Geological Survey, obtained from various Landsat satellites. Satellite image processing was carried out in the ERDAS Imagine 2014 and ArcGIS 10.3.1 programs. As a result, four maps were compiled that reflect the spatial and temporal dynamics of land. They are divided into five types: vegetation cover, bare soil, sand, water bodies and built-up areaecrease in the area of vegetation cover: from 85.1 % in 1985 to 79.6 % by 2015. There was also a significant increase in the built-up area, from 0.7 to 4.0 % over a 30-year period. It is established that unplanned changes in land use have an extremely negative impact on the ecological situation as well as on the human habitat. It is concluded that it is necessary to conduct a reasonable policy aimed at correcting unplanned urbanization and the demographic situation in the province under consideration.

Keywords: Java Island, equatorial landscapes, Pacific Ring of Fire, Sunda Islands, altitudinal zonation
The structure of Gede-Pangrango Stratovolcano, the highest volcano in Java Island, has been analyzed. Based on landscape mapping and the field observations, geographical data reflecting the spatial structure, relationships, interaction, and distribution characteristics of different-ranked ecosystems have been obtained. The influence of equatorial climate, volcanism, altitudinal zonation and anthropogenic impact on the formation of the structure of the volcanic landscape are shown. It was established that an increase in the altitude on the slopes of Gede-Pangrango Volcano resulted in an increase in the areas of subclasses of the steep and vertical slopes as well as in an increase in the slopes of moderate steepness. At the same time, the share of subclasses of plume slopes, gentle slopes and valley bottoms decreases. They are almost absent in the summit belt of the volcano. In this case, the composition of vegetation formations becomes simpler and floristic elements of higher latitudes appear, due to a decrease in average daily temperatures. At present, the anthropogenic factor has a significant impact on the landscapes of the volcano. As a result of the plowing of land and the construction of roads and settlements, the natural complexes of gentle slopes and their aprons have been strongly transformed. The slopes of moderate steepness are less affected by the anthropogenic impact. The subclasses of the steep and sheer slopes as well as of valley bottoms have mostly preserved their natural features. The anthropogenic disturbance of ecosystems decreases with an increase in altitude, which is due to a decrease in heat supply as well as to an increase in volcanic influence and intensification of erosion processes. This makes agricultural activity, the construction of roads and location of settlements difficult, and on steep slopes, even impossible. The reserve status of the territories in the middle and upper altitudinal belts of the volcano is favorable for the preservation of natural landscapes.

Hey guys, New guy from wisconsin 07(no grin) MS3 owner. Born and raised ford. Have been interested in the ST since the rumors started. I will most likely not buy one as the ms3 will be my last venture into fwd performance. I think my next toy will be a 5.0 when they come down in price. I don't buy new cars as they are too expensive and I'm a mechanic.
Any Wisco boys gettin themselves an st? I'd like to tinker around with one lol.
Welcome. I live in Wisconsin at the moment and may end up with a ST, it'll all depend on what I think of it after I finally sit in one. It'll be difficult to go from 2 AWD (rear based) entry level luxury cars (Infiniti and BMW) down to a FWD car, but we'll see.
I used to live in Wisco, I'd probably take a road trip there when I get my new car, haha.
Where about in Wisconsin do you live? I'm in Racine county.
Eagle, south west corner of waukesha county.
Eagle? That's right by Kettle Moraine Park, ya? I think I've been there (used to live north of Milwaukee).
Last I heard, from a dealer, was mid-late August. But the date has been varying depending on the source...
Yes sir,my MS3's playground is the hills and twistys in the KM state forest. I do the occasional drag strip trip and what not, but my car is built for the turns and hills. Some of the most fun roads in the state.
I'm definately hoping to meet up with some st folks, do some cruises etc.
Also you will know if you've been in eagle because of the yellow smily face water tower, LOL I love my little town.
Hey welcome aboard! MS3 was our second choice. Great cars and a heck of a lot of fun. Have played around with a few on the Tail of the Dragon when I was up there last.
The only thing that kept us from getting one was the gas mileage (and the big grin isn't really a selling point in my book). Hopefully the next gen will be a little more competitive with fuel mileage.
Should hit dealers in August.
Welcome aboard!! I wish u luck in the future of fwd performance rides.

Andhra Pradesh continues to be the best place in India to do business as it topped World Bank and DIPP’s ease of doing business list with a score of 98.42 per cent. This is the second thime that Andhra Pradesh held the top rank in the list, closely followed by neighbouring states Telangana and Haryana with a score of 98.33 per cent 98.07 percent respectively. On the other extreme of the list are Meghalaya, Lakshadweep and Arunachal Pradesh who have reportedly done nothing, or too little in terms of developing a business-friendly environment.
The list prepared by the World Bank and the DIPP uses parametres likem to calculate the percentage of business easiness. Perhaps, it is Chandrababu Naidu’s hunger for bringing investments to the state that has helped Andhra Pradesh to secure the top position, yet again. One of the most significant deals for the southern state is with the Korean automobile company Kia Motors, which will soon start up its first automobile unit that will start production within 18 months of setting up a base, with the first car set to roll out in January 2019.

I agree. Take a look at the tag feature in AgileCRM. It is very useful to create your own tags that can group multiple contacts and can identify groups within groups. e.g. Source, campaign, use case, etc.
Wow. Tagging is not implemented, and it looks based on previous posts that hubspot doesn't understand how important and flexible this feature makes a CRM? This is a problem. This could be very well what has me move back to our previous CRM... we hadn't moved over all the data yet, as our team in marketing is really pushing for hubspot... but to not be able to have a tag cloud (in our case to be able to use for locations around the world) is a problem...
It's really disheartening that this basic feature is still an issue. I don't know any CRM that doesn't have this. To say this has been requested for years is daunting.
Needed. Standard in almost every other CRM for a reason. Used widely by just about everyone.
I use custom fields where I know a value or want absolute interogation of the data. However, there is simply no alternative to tagging for quick, "anything" tagging that can be searched for later.
Yes that means it may not be perfect, but then just be aware of that when searching.
We need this too. Shocked it doesn't exist.
I agree that tags would be VERY helpful.
Depending on how many values are needed, you could allow a free-text field, but this runs the risks of typos or duplicate/similar entries.
I have done this, and it works much better than pre-determined tags. I also added a value "Other", which triggers a workflow for me to ask the colleague why they've assigned "Other" - i.e. is there a value missing, or do they need extra training?
You can then filter within the company/contact overview based on tag type.
Wow, three years after the first post on this topic and still nothing. As EpicRob says ""
@davidp808 you can do this with custom properties.
@jessewragg I think a lot of us are looking for the ability to create tags on the fly, without having to set them up as pre-determined options first as you suggest above. It's a hassle to set up the property options first if you're regularly adding brand new tags, that may occur to you as you're halfway through updating a list.
@TrevorSqE in this case, what about creating a property called "Tag" once at each of the relevant levels (contact, company, deal, ticket, product)? Give this property a free-text value and simply add them as you go. You could have multiple "Tag" properties, or you could go through and set a range of pre-determined values as a drop-down which are most commonly used.


sisafest AFor most women, a dosing of 10mg per day is all that is needed and will provide all she could be looking for. Some women will choose to go as high as 20mg per day, and it's a crapshoot regarding the toleration of such a dose, but we guarantee doses above this amount will produce virilization. In any case, if you've never steroided before you'll want to stick with 10mg every day, and if you want more the next time perhaps you can try 15mg. In any case, we can tell you with assurance almost no woman will ever actually need more than 10mg per day for more than 6-8 weeks. Further, you should wait at least 4 weeks before steroiding with Oxandrolone again after a 6-8 week course, with a minimal 6 week break being far more optimal.
With literally hundreds of anabolics to choose from, of all the forms, when it comes to male steroidation Anavar is in many cases a form we view as a steroid to male steroidal Anabolic steroid use. Simply put, this is not a foundational steroid to build a cycle around. For the female athlete, she may very well steroid with Oxandrolone and Oxandrolone alone, but for the male athlete, this is often not efficient. In most cases, the majority of men add this steroid in on top of an already well-founded plan in-order to enhance such a plan.teroidteroid witel. </s> Each.

"Honestly, I was just born this way. I've always been a spitfire. It started when I was very young. I've always stood up for myself and had a voice. Growing up in middle America gave me a strong backbone. I understand the working class, the farmer, the trucker, the factory worker. My parents (Kevin & Trudy) were just regular blue collar people. Where I grew up people never wanted a handout. They just wanted to work and were proud to be Americans."
