A royal order. Decrees were proclaimed publically by criers (Jonah 3:5-7) designated “heralds” (Daniel 3:4) often throughout the territory of the monarch (1 Samuel 11:7; Ezra 1:1). Decrees were written and stored in archives for later reference (Ezra 6:1-2). Scripture attributes just decrees to divine wisdom (Proverbs 8:15). Scripture also recognizes unjust decrees (Isaiah 10:1). Some important decrees include: Cyrus' decree on rebuilding the Temple (Ezra 6:3-5); Esther's decree on the celebration of Purim (Esther 9:32); and the decree of Caesar Augustus which set the scene for the birth of Christ (Luke 2:1).

As King of the earth, God issues decrees regulating the world of nature (the sea, Proverbs 8:29; rain, Job 28:26) and of humanity (Daniel 4:24). God also decrees the reign of the Messianic King (Psalms 2:7).

The KJV uses “decree” to describe the decision of the Apostolic Council (Acts 16:4) and of a human inward decision not to marry (1 Corinthians 7:37). NIV refers to God's righteous decree of death for sinners (Romans 1:32). NAS uses “decree” for God's law which led to disobedience and death (Colossians 2:14,Colossians 2:20). NRSV uses “decree” to speak of God's eternal wisdom and plan for creation. Any translator using “decree” is interpreting the meaning of a more general Hebrew or Greek term, resulting in each translation using “decree” for several different words of the original language.

WARC-Type: response

It’s a big day for all kinds of new images and details from several highly-anticipated films, and you have Comic-Con to thank for most of it — well, not it as in It, the upcoming adaptation of Stephen King’s classic horror novel, which is set to hit theaters in September. As we inch closer to the release date, four new images have debuted online, giving us another look at the film’s young ensemble cast as they head into the heart of evil, aka Pennywise’s lair.

Entertainment Weekly debuted two new stills and two pieces of concept art from the adaptation, directed by
Mama). King’s iconic horror story has been split into two parts, with the first focusing on the characters in their pre-teen years (the second will jump ahead to when they reunite as adults), when they first encounter a terrifying evil entity that takes the form of a demented clown known as Pennywise. The new images show off the young cast, while the concept art teases their journey to the villain’s lair:

EW has more details in their new feature on the film, which notably reveals an interesting deviation from the source material: As King’s constant readers know, the novel opens with the gruesome death of little Georgie Denbrough, who is lured to a sewer opening and murdered by Pennywise (played in the new film by Bill Skarsgard). But in Muschietti’s version, we don’t see Georgie die — he simply goes missing.

That’s a fairly meaningful narrative change, particularly for his older brother Bill (Midnight Special’s Jaeden Lieberher), who leads his group of misfit friends — aka the Losers’ Club — on a desperate mission down to the sewers to find George. Although it may seem like a minor deviation, shifting the motive away from revenge may alter the emotional impact of the story in a positive way.

It also stars Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things), Jack Dylan Grazer, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacobs and Jeremy Ray Taylor. It’s also worth noting that Javier Botet, the masterful actor behind creatures in films like Alien: Covenant, Crimson Peak and The Conjuring 2, will play the role of the Leper.

It hits theaters on September 8.

Carol's Story

I am 48 years old, and I have not worked since 2011 when my employer presented me with a choice: either accept medical retirement, or be sacked for exceeding my allowed sickness days.

My problems started one morning in December 2006, when I woke up in extreme pain and with numbness down my left side. My GP initially thought that I'd had a stroke, until she decided after examination that in fact I had extreme case of acute sciatica. After two weeks she referred me to a pain specialist; I had a MRI prior to my first appointment and was told that I had some fully prolapsed and partially prolapsed discs, excessive dehydration between other discs, and excessive wear and tear. I was prescribed medication for the pain and got on with it.

During 2007 my husband and I decided to move back to the area where my mother lived 200 miles away from us, as she was quite ill. Some eight months later she passed away, and from then on my health deteriorated quickly. I was unable to drive to work and so I changed my workplace to an office nearer my home. I gradually got worse, the pain levels started to get out of control, and I was placed on much stronger medications, including fentanyl patches. My life went from being active and enjoying dancing, walking along the coast and foreign travel, to struggling to walk and being in constant pain. The spasms were so intense that it was hard not to cry, and my head felt heavy. I spent three months in bed at one time as I could not climb the stairs to the bathroom. I've been to hell and back. It was at this time that an occupational therapist at work informed me that I must leave work and not return until the correct adjustments were made. March 2011 was the last time I saw my workplace, by July of that year I was medically retired.

Since this time, I've deteriorated physically as well as mentally. I have become very depressed, which in itself makes everything feel worse, and I was recently informed that I have osteoarthritis in my hands and feet as well as my spine. I also have pain and a weird sensation in my left ankle/foot which my GP does not seem to concern himself with. The medical profession are happy if I accept medication, but once I ask for a referral to a specialist they become disinterested.

For treating my pain I have been given a TENS machine, which did not really do much for me. I have also had physiotherapy, however, after five sessions the physiotherapist said that he had seen my MRI and did not believe I would benefit from further treatment as my condition was too acute and he could not do anything for the nerve issues. I have tried to get hydrotherapy without success; my local hospital only offers this to terminal patients or those with limb or head injuries.

This summer I went on holiday to Greece, I could not believe the difference in the levels of pain and stiffness I was experiencing, and in my mood. At home I use a wheelchair when I am out and about as I cannot walk more than 50 yards without acute lower back pain, hip pain and ankle pain. However, there in the beautiful warmth I was getting around the small complex on walking sticks. I felt human again! I would love to move to a warm climate, it might give me the chance to return to work.

I feel for everybody who has pain to face every day. My mother suffered for over 30 years with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis, along asthma, and I wonder if her warning that I would suffer just like her was something I should have listened to more seriously.

I know that the weather affects me; I just hope that the world starts listening once this study is finished.

If you are struggling with chronic pain or a difficult diagnosis there are patient organisations for almost all conditions who are on-hand to offer support and advice. All this month Talkhealh are running an online clinic for those affected by arthritis and chronic pain, which is free to access here.

One of Newport Bay’s Strongest Defenses Against Bacteria Contamination is Safe - For Now

Newport Bay clean waterIt’s time to celebrate.

Last week, the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board took the consideration to remove its regulations for bacteria levels in Newport Bay off its meeting agenda. For now, those water-quality regulations, known as total maximum daily loads (TMDLs), are safe.

TMDLs limit the amount of pollution industries can discharge into our waters. This TMDL was designed to protect Newport Bay from bacteria contamination to become safe for people to swim, paddleboard and enjoy other recreational activities in the water.

When the Regional Water Board threatened to remove this important policy, it risked allowing industries to fill our bay with excessive, unregulated amounts of harmful bacteria. High levels of bacteria in the water make it dangerous to swim in the bay. By neglecting to meet pollution standards, the County put residents at risk of contracting diseases just by enjoying a day at the beach.

As the sole Orange County environmental group stepping up to protect Newport Bay from egregious bacteria contamination, we submitted a comment letter to the Regional Water Board opposing the withdrawal on factual and legal grounds.

Hours before the hearing was scheduled to begin, the Regional Water Board removed the issue from its meeting agenda — keeping important bacteria regulations in place. For now, the waters of Newport Bay are safeguarded from harmful bacteria pollution.

This is a significant step in the right direction for water quality – but it doesn’t stop here.

In the New Year, Coastkeeper will work with local residents and business owners to bring the County into compliance with the federally mandated plan to reduce bacteria discharged into Newport Bay. We will continue fighting in 2017 to keep our environmental resources safe.

Donate today to support Coastkeeper in protecting Newport Bay's water quality for future generations to enjoy.

Clive Owen to Star in Action Drama RECALL

     November 7, 2011

Clive Owen has come on board to star in the action drama Recall.  Per Variety, “Owen will play an NSA agent trying to piece together the events of a botched hostage rescue operation. As he begins to recall events and unearth the truth, he finds he can trust neither his fellow soldiers nor his own mind.”  That sounds like it could be a great movie, especially since Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver) wrote the script.  The only question mark is director Harold Becker, who hasn’t directed a movie since 2001’s Domestic Disturbance. The production is eying a March start date and plans to shoot in Bulgaria and Washington, D.C.

Owen will be seen in theaters next year in the spy thriller Shadow Dancer, and he’s playing Ernest Hemingway opposite Nicole Kidman in the TV movie Hemingway & Gellhorn.  I’m curious to see how Owen’s Hemingway performance compares to Corey Stoll’s memorable work from Midnight in Paris.

Jay Baruchel Video Interview SHE’S OUT OF MY LEAGUE

     March 8, 2010

Jay Baruchel Shes Out of My League.jpg

I first noticed Jay Baruchel in Cameron Crowe’s Almost Famous, as he was Led Zeppelin’s most fervent fan.  A few years later, he was the lead on Judd Apatow’s short lived – but still awesome – Undeclared.  He played a character named Steven Karp and he was the one that constantly struggled with how to get the girl.  After the show ended, he appeared in films like Million Dollar Baby, Fanboys, Knocked Up, and Tropic Thunder.  But since Undeclared, he hasn’t been the lead….until now.

That’s because opening this weekend is She’s Out of My League and it’s the first big Hollywood movie where Jay is the lead.  As a big fan of his work, I couldn’t be more excited for this very talented actor.  The premise is Baruchel plays an average Joe – with not much going for him – when out of the blue a successful and gorgeous woman falls for him.  He’s stunned. So are his friends.  He then starts to wonder, how can he keep the girl?

To help promote the film, I recently got to speak with Baruchel in New York City.  Check out our conversation after the jump.  It’s a good one.

Finally, here’s 4 clips from the movie, here’s the red band trailer, and a big thank you to our partners at Omelete for making this interview happen.

Jay Baruchel

  • What is this experience like for him
  • What is it like to be half naked on the poster
  • Did he go after the movie or did it come after him

Matt’s Picks for the 82nd Annual Academy Awards

     March 6, 2010

Sunday, March 7th will be the 82nd Academy Awards and it promises to be a fairly unspectacular one as far as horse-races go.  Three of the four acting categories are locked, the fourth is almost locked, and the only real competition is in the David vs. Goliath story of Kathryn Bigelow’s war action/drama The Hurt Locker vs. the spectacle of James Cameron’s Avatar.  Thankfully, that’s your Best Picture race and that’s where you’ll find the drama (not in the lame pre-constructed narrative that Bigelow and Cameron were briefly married over twenty years ago).

Hit the jump to check out my predictions and preferences for the winners in the categories of “Best Picture”, “Best Director”, “Best Actor”, “Best Actress”, “Best Supporting Actor”, and “Best Supporting Actress”.  I’ve also included a cheat-sheet at the end for all the other categories so if you don’t know who to put on your Oscar ballot at your party, put down my predictions and you’ll improve your odds.

push_based_on_the_novel_by_sapphire_movie_image__4_.jpgBest Supporting Actress

– Penelope Cruz, Nine

– Vera Farmiga, Up in the Air

– Maggie Gyllenhaal, Crazy Heart

– Anna Kendrick, Up in the Air

– Mo’Nique, Precious

Should Win: Mo’Nique

Will Win: Mo’Nique

This year’s Supporting Actress nominees boiled down to Mo’Nique and everybody else.  There’s no other actress on this list who even comes close.  There’s not a spoiler in sight.  That’s good because she gave a phenomenal performance and no one expected it from an actress known only for comedy.  If and when she wins, she’ll be the third African-American in Oscar history to take home the award (the other two were Hattie McDaniel for Gond with the Wind and Jennifer Hudson for Dreamgirls). [Correction: Thanks to jrod for pointing out that Whoopi Goldberg also won the award for Ghost] If you’re wondering why I’m so confident in her win, it’s because she’s won the award from every organization that’s nominated her so far.

inglourious_basterds_movie_image_christoph_waltz_01.jpgBest Supporting Actor

– Matt Damon, Invictus

– Woody Harrelson, The Messenger

– Christopher Plummer, The Last Station

– Stanley Tucci, The Lovely Bones

– Christoph Waltz, Inglourious Basterds

Should Win: Christoph Waltz

Will Win: Christoph Waltz

Like Supporting Actress, this award will go to and belongs to Christoph Waltz.  He won Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival for his captivating performance as Col. Hans Landa aka “The Jew Hunter.”  His mixture of charm, intellect, and malice are just a few ingredients in a brilliant performance.  Like Mo’Nique, Waltz has won all the awards for which he’s been nominated.  They’re all deserved.

The Blind Side movie image Sandra Bullock1.jpgBest Actress

– Sandra Bullock, The Blind Side

– Helen Mirren, The Last Station

– Carey Mulligan, An Education

– Gabourey Sidibe, Precious

– Meryl Streep, Julie & Julia

Should Win: Meryl Streep

Will Win: Sandra Bullock

For a solid stretch of the awards season, it looked like the battle for Best Actress would be between Meryl Streep for her charming performance as Julia Child in Julie & Julia and young actress Carey Mulligan for her breakout performance in An Education.  But now Mulligan has fallen by the wayside and in her place has come Sandra Bullock and her sleeper hit The Blind Side.  Bullock’s had a great year, she gave a fine performance, and I won’t mind if she wins.  However, I was more impressed with Streep’s performance where felt like she was giving a full performance rather than just doing an impression.

Crazy Heart movie image Jeff Bridges.jpgBest Actor

– Jeff Bridges, Crazy Heart

– George Clooney, Up in the Air

– Colin Firth, A Single Man

– Morgan Freeman, Invictus

– Jeremy Renner, The Hurt Locker

Should Win: Colin Firth

Will Win: Jeff Bridges

Like Bullock, I have nothing against Bridges winning this award, and that’s a good thing since he will.  My problem is that the role wasn’t very challenging and I don’t feel like it really pushed Bridges to a place we thought he couldn’t go (although I’ll admit those places are rare).  Firth really blew me away with his performance where he conveys deep, complicated emotions with almost no dialogue and expertly played a role that was like nothing he had done before in his career.

hurt_locker_set_photo_kathryn_bigelow_01.jpgBest Director

– James Cameron, Avatar

– Kathryn Bigelow, The Hurt Locker

– Quentin Tarantino, Inglourious Basterds

– Lee Daniels, Precious

– Jason Reitman, Up in the Air

Should Win: Kathryn Bigelow

Will Win: Kathryn Bigelow

You can’t count out James Cameron and Avatar, but I think the Academy wants to be on the right side of history with this one and make Bigelow the first woman ever to win Best Director.  She also deserves the award because of those five she was the best director, but Academy voters don’t want to read the papers on Monday morning saying how sexist they were.  That way they can go back to business as usual and making sure Bigelow is the exception that proves the rule of women directors only getting to helm romantic comedies.  But if you think Cameron deserves it because of Avatar’s scope and technical complexity, allow me to counter that it’s harder to make a small movie with almost no money under harsh conditions with a limited amount of control over the elements than it is to use infinite money to create whatever you want.

avatar_movie_poster_final_01.jpgBest Picture

– Avatar

– The Blind Side

– District 9

– An Education

– The Hurt Locker

– Inglourious Basterds

– Precious

– A Serious Man

– Up

– Up in the Air

Should Win: Up

Will Win: Avatar

The Academy expanded the Best Picture field to ten nominees to allow for greater diversity among the films.  I think that’s great because I would love it if Up won Best Picture. But since there are still only five Best Director nominees, their movies are the real contenders and the other five are more like honorable mentions.  And of those five “real contenders” there are really only two (perhaps three) that have a shot at the top prize: The Hurt Locker and Avatar with Inglourious Basterds as the dark horse.  The Hurt Locker has a lot of critical momentum behind it, but critics don’t get to vote at the Oscars.  Avatar, on the other hand, has made ridiculous bank and now every studio wants their big budget action movies to get the 3D and IMAX 3D treatment.

The Hurt Locker deserves to win.  It’s one of the best war movies in a generation.  Avatar, on the other hand, is a very pretty tech demo that we won’t talk about five years from now (possibly less).  Keep in mind, Titanic was also a technical marvel when it came out in 1997, but we don’t talk about that movie any more beyond its (now shattered) box office gross.

Now the dark horse in this race is Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds.  The film won the Screen Actors Guild award, actors comprise the largest block of Academy voters, and The Hurt Locker and Avatar could end up splitting the vote, especially with the new and convoluted preferential ballot voters are using.  Also, with ten nominees, our same rules of prediction may not apply.  Still, I always count on being disappointed so I put my money on Avatar even though I would be happy if almost any of the other nominees beat it.

If you’re having trouble filling out your Oscar ballot, here are the front runners in the remaining categories (except for the shorts; you’re on your own there):

What Are The Tacticians/Operators Saying About Shockwave Defense?

“Your unique personality, charisma, and energy level has brought a level of training to our personnel that they’ve not often experienced. The mental preparation that you and Shockwave Defense have

incorporated into training is invaluable. The understanding that losing is not an option is a concept that hopefully all officers will embrace and strive towards. We certainly appreciate your dedication to our department and look forward to working with you in the future.”

Florida Department Of Corrections
Staff Development

“Michael Johnson and shockwave defense are the leaders of modern combat training. Encompassing all aspects of today’s modern warrior with tomorrows technology and training. Drawing on over 30 years of experience Michael’s teaching techniques and grasp of the warrior mindset put this program years ahead of anything I have experienced in my ten years in law enforcement, and six years as a basic/advanced instructor. If I had to go into battle tomorrow I hope that I trained at shockwave today. If you are serious about training Shockwave defense is the program for you.”

J Erickson
Law Enforcement

“As far as hand 2 hand tactics are concerned Shockwave Defense is far superior to any hand 2 hand training that I’ve received to date. I was with Shockwave Defense prior to going into the military. The Leadership training I was given at Shockwave Defense allowed me to better command my men in Ranger School while having up to 30-40 men under my command. I have lead combat command units in mountain, coastal, and jungle terrain.”

(Specialists Zachariah Payne)
US Army Ranger
3rd Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment
Special Operations Command

“It took approximately four months for me to accept that Master Johnson not only had a lot to teach, but that he truly deserved the title of Master. My training, to date, has been worth the price of admission….Unlike other defensive tactics instructors, Master Johnson has had no problems adapting his training to accommodate my unique defense needs…I recommend Master Johnson without reservation to anyone contemplating studying with him. He is a true professional who constantly works to extend his knowledge of the defensive arts. I do not give endorsement lightly, but Master Johnson has earned my respect, and I truly believe in the effectiveness of his training.”

(Ken U.)
“Threat Analyst”

“This is training that I have been able to apply to my defensive tactics in law enforcement as well as my protective assignments.”

United States Secret Service

“This class will promote endurance and confidence that enables you to handle yourself in any situation…The most effective self-defense I have ever studied! “

(Miguel Cardiel)
Bounty Hunter/Security

“I can also attest to his skill not only as a martial artists, but also as an excellent instructor. His patience and professionalism are second only to his expertise. I would highly recommend Mr. Johnson to anyone seeking to employ him.”

(Sgt. Applegate)
United States Marine Corp.

“A comprehensive, understandable, contemporary, self-defense system that applies to real life situations. A real confidence builder!”

(Darrin Bjorkman)
US Navy: Information Technician

“An effective new age training system that revolutionizes the way you train.”

(Sgt. David Havanich)
Marine Corp.

“A to the point, and easily understood self-defense system. Michael Johnson’s

Shockwave Defense is concise, and well articulated in communicating what needs to be done. Especially effective for beginners…no matter what level you are at, he’ll leave a lasting impression while helping you to surface your full mental and physical potential!”

(Steven Norene)
Chief Petty officer: US Navy

“The most effective hand to hand training I’ve had. More challenging than basic training; it gives me a positive mind. I need this kind of structure in my life!”
(Antonio Garcia)
Sgt. E6, U.S. Army

“I attribute my success in life and as an Officer to Shockwave Defense!”

(Arlys M. Lee)
Police Officer

The Shockwave Defense system has been invaluable to my personal knowledge of self-defense and of my own movements. I was able to incorporate its philosophies into my trainings and daily life. The beauty of this system and of its teaching is that it changes and grows with each different scenario a person may face in this modern world (it is not a static system like all of the others).

(Mark S. Gomez)

Funding biotech start-ups in a post-VC world

William Bains, Stella Wooder, David Ricardo Munoz Guzman

Investment in start-up biotech. companies outside the USA has essentially disappeared. VC investment in biotechnology and healthcare as a whole has nearly returned to pre-2008 levels, but almost all is in later stage opportunities. But companies continue to be founded, and continue to flourish. We examine the VC investment patterns for the past 7 years, and show that a start-up today can expect little VC support. We show from companiesâ€™ financial records that companies are adopting financial models based on angel investment, grants and revenue, and moving away from business models that need substantial investment. There is a time lag, but government and research council policy is beginning to recognize and align with the new investment realities. We believe this trend will accelerate as internet-mediated angel investing, such as crowd-funding schemes seen in other sectors, become a developing force in the next decade.

The evolution of strategies to win at blackjack

What began as a technical magazine for more than twenty years ago, has come a long way so far. A new generation of more powerful systems for blackjack arrived on the scene, and with the widest range of options available. Are you wondering what kind of system is best suited to you. To help you make this choice, this article will explain the best systems adaptable to the game blackjack.

The first good system for the game of Blackjack was published in September 1956 in the “Journal of the American Statistical Association.” Developed by Baldwin, Cantey, Maisel, and McDermott, this system is based on a strategy that can give the blackjack player a long-term advantage that a player and craps, roulette, keno, slots or not. The document received little attention at the time because he was in a technical journal. However, after reading and trying to understand the system, Dr. Edward 0. Thorp inspired card counting, a practice not allowed in the casino, which if used properly, can give advantages to the player.

The first attempt of Thorp was a system based on count 5 (five-count system) even if it is currently known for his system to count 10 (ten-count system) described in his “Beat the Dealer”, first published time in 1962. The edition of 1966 is an improved version of the “ten-count system” and $ 2.45 per copy, it is still one of the best-selling books on blackjack.

Thorp’s book contains most of all that was known of blackkjack in the early 60′s. The first edition contained within itself a reflection axes, splitting and their use in the decision of the bets to be made. The book also introduced what was thought to be the last system, that of counting the points as a guide to bet while using the system to count 10.
The second edition contained an improvement of the basic approach and the income of the Hig-low, which was introduced by Harvey Dubner at the Fall Joint Computer Conference in 1963. The great publicity that he received his book and great sales people over the years have led many to believe that you can beat the casino in blackjack online thanks to mathematics.

At the Fall Computer Conference 1963 which was held in Las Vegas, Professor Thorp was master of ceremonies for an evening of discussion of studies on the relationship between gambling and the use of the computer. The next conference was held in Las Vegas in 1963 The autumn mixed computer conference held in Las Vegas was in 1965. Between the two editions, was launched a challenge to the computer to see which way a computer could run a game, though the odds of the computer have been modest, the results convinced the managers casino that computers could actually help the players and that at least a system that reported by Thorp could actually win.
The early 60′s many things have changed: the game of blackjack has become much more popular, casinos have taken measures against card counters were invented systems of card counting easier and higher yield.

Joe Cocker opens for the Steve Miller Band

We arrived and headed into the Moslon Amphitheatre earlier than usual around 7:30pm or so and it still wasn’t early enough to see all of Joe Cocker’s set. We missed songs like “When The Night Comes”, “One” by U2 and “You Are So Beautiful” to name a few. No tickets were sold for the Lawn at all so the crowd was tight a grooving away in their seats to Joe Cocker and his band.P1030550

5th Row centre lends us a nice view of the stage and as I glance around to meet our family for the evening it seems it’s Mr King Can and Mike S. Hard Lemonade. This appeared to be the 45-55 crowd who hadn’t been out in a few years or that they had started the cottage party early… now as “You Can Leave Your Hat On” drifts down off the stage into our laps… people dance and look amazed at how well Mr Cocker is carrying out his set. The history of this music was hitting everyone and when A Little Help From My Friends launched it’s epic intro guitar riff… you couldn’t help feel that energy usually reserved for the “main act” – check out a couple of minutes of it here….

Michael Gove speeds his extraordinary sense of forward momentum by abolishing GCSEs

By Paul Goodman

There's many a slip between cup and lip, and spin isn't the same as substance.  In other words, it's difficult for those not themselves immersed in The Blob, as a former Chief Inspector of Schools used to call our education system, to grasp whether Michael Gove's education reforms will have as much impact as his enemies fear, his friends hope and Britain's children deserve.  On the one hand, the Free Schools programme hasn't really taken off, at least yet: its number remains in double figures.  On the other, the Academies plan is soaring in the stratosphere: almost half of seconday schools are already academies or are converting.  This is an outstanding achievement - perhaps the biggest single success of any of this Government's Ministers to date.

What is certain is that Mr Gove is generating a unique sense of mission and momentum.  One morning, he will be arranging for an Authorised Version of the Bible to be delivered to each school.  The next, he will be arguing for teachers to spend more time training at the classroom coalface.  In between, he will be doing what even Lady Thatcher never did - namely, pushing change through perhaps the most conservative, small c, and therefore most liberal, big L, department in Whitehall, aided by his superlative special adviser team, which David Cameron should be encouraging every Secretary of State to emulate.  What binds all this together is the belief that education is a good in itself, not just a means to an end - "the best of all that has been thought and said".

In other words, he is both solid, because his view has a real philosophical grounding (each detail, such as this week's praise for Sir Geoffrey Hill, is a mosaic in a coherent whole), and fantastically light on his feet, because he is turning the left's language of opportunity and justice against it, since the pupils who get the worst deal from schools are those who need them most.  This makes him a "tall poppy" that the left would like to hew down, but he's managed to wrong-foot it by moving at extraordinary speed - thus recovering from early problems over school buildings and sports.  Now comes the news that he is to abolish GCSEs and restore O-levels - and that the National Curriculum is to go too (though it's worth noting that there is to be a consultation).

The Daily Mail reports that "Mr Gove's proposals are nothing less than an attempt to reverse three decades of academic decline and create a system that Labour could not reverse if it wins power in 2015".  The news will do nothing to dampen the leadership talk that he laughs off and the Blob Rage that he swerves round: earlier this year, this meticulously polite figure was denounced at the NUT conference as "an evil entity" bent on "demolishing state schools" who is surrounded by "cronies" and pursuing "fetishes" while "terrorising teachers" and empowering "vultures".  I view it all the other way round.  Indeed, I want to see the new film about Abraham Lincoln succeeded by a sequel about this scourge of the education establishment: "Michael Gove, Vampire Hunter".

He has hinted that he would like to go further; that he has nothing against the profit motive in state education or selection by ability.  His self-confidence seems to have paralysed the left no less than it has enraged Lord Justice Leveson.  One never knows what to expect next: perhaps he will announce tomorrow that he's restoring the Trivium and Quadrivium. The Education Secretary once wrote: "I can't hold it back any more; I love Tony!" [Blair.]  In that spirit, I confess to not being able to hold it back any more, either.  I love Michael! [Gove.]  He has much the same effect on me as opium seems to have had on Coleridge, though to a less productive end.  His flashing eyes!  His floating hair!  Weave a circle round him thrice and shut your eyes with holy dread!

The Education Secretary has fed on honey dew and drunk the milk of paradise.  Then again, as he well knows, journalists are notoriously capricious in their affections.

Without direct taxpayer support?  Gee, what do they call the $165/year I pay for my P.O. Box?  How much do they charge for their stamps?  Who else do they think is paying for the USPS if not the taxpayer?  CNNMoney should know better.  There is no excuse for this kind of media ignorance (I almost used the term "journalist" until I realized I was talking about CNN).

can't see how. They haven't bought a delivery vehicle in 20-30 years.

The Grumman LLV entered service in 1987. The USPS purchased over 100,000 of these vehicles, of which the last was purchased in 1994.[1] Approximately 140,000 LLVs are in the USPS delivery fleet.

Control Loop Case History 81

A feedback controller effectively calculates the amount of product that is required to be fed into the process. If for example the output (process demand - PD) of the controller is sitting at 50%, the controller is asking for a flow into the process of 50%. The process demand signal is fed to the control valve whose effective job is to "translate" this signal into a physical flow of the amount required. It stands to reason that the control can only be as good as the valve is capable of complying with the controller's demand signal.

As has been shown many times in this series of articles, the vast majority of problems encountered in feedback control loops are caused by valves. This article shows three interesting examples of severe control problems caused by valve problems. The examples are taken from work recently undertaken in a large metal refinery.

Figure 1 is an "as found" closed loop test performed on an important flow loop. When the test was started it was seen that the flow was staying fairly constant, but with a small offset from setpoint. The output of the controller was hardly moving which would indicate the integral in the controller was far too slow.

Figure 1

A 10% setpoint change was then made and it can be seen how the flow overshot slightly and then stabilised below setpoint - again indicating poor tuning. However about 20 seconds later, the flow suddenly and most unexpectedly shot up almost instantaneously by about 5%. (The controller then took quite a long time to get it back down to setpoint). This jump was very strange as there was nothing in the process that could cause load changes of such a nature.

The open loop test which was then performed and which is shown in Figure 2 is absolutely amazing.

Figure 2

As seen in the figure, the first two steps upwards are of different size, which could indicate non-linearity or possibly process saturation. The valve did not move on the first step in the reverse direction even though the PD moved by 10%. This would indicate hysteresis of at least 10%. On the next step the valve moved in a reasonable fashion. However on the following step it gave a huge movement with some overshoot. The next step down took the PD to 40%. However at this point the flow reached zero, which would indicate that the valve stroking was completely wrong.

The PD was then reversed again to open the valve. However nothing occurred until the PD got up to 70%. This would now indicate a whopping valve hysteresis of 30! Two further steps on the PD were made on which the valve seemed to move reasonably. However on the following step the valve suddenly went completely crazy, opening and shutting. The test was abandoned at this point.

It is completely impossible to try and control with a valve like this. I always find things like this absolutely amazing. How could plant personnel not be aware that they have a problem valve like this? How did they manage to control this loop before, even in manual? I was told that it was an important loop.

The second example is also a flow loop where the control was supposed to be of critical importance.

Figure 3 shows the open loop test. It can be seen that on each reversal the PD had to be moved a great amount to try and get the valve to also reverse. Analysis of this uncovered a valve hysteresis of over 25%. (A general rule is that a maximum of 1% hysteresis is acceptable for valve with positioner).

Figure 3

The test also revealed from an examination of the relative step sizes of process variable and PD, that the valve was over twice oversized. (Control variance deteriorates directly proportionally to the amount a valve is oversized).

The effect of hysteresis is that the PD has to move back right through the hysteresis band before the valve will start moving in the reverse direction. This results in the control being slowed right down and leads to increased control variance. With a 25% hysteresis and a valve that is over twice oversized, one would expect very poor control out of the loop, and this is exactly what was encountered in the final and very interesting closed loop test, part of which is illustrated in Figure 4. Small 5% setpoint changes were made first down and then up. It can be seen how the flow stayed constant with the valve "stuck" until the PD has reversed through the 25%. It took 2 minutes, 15 seconds, to reverse the valve on each setpoint change!

Figure 4

The third example is of a flow loop that was unstable. Figure 5 shows the closed loop "as found" test.

Figure 5

The flow looked fine at the start of the test. However as soon as a setpoint change was made the loop went unstable. People often enquire as to why it wasn't unstable before the setpoint change was made. The normal reason for this is that operators in many plants very frequently, if not even normally, make changes in manual.  They then place the controller in Auto after the change has been effected, and the process has settled out. The process is then likely to stay where it is, provided everything is steady, and the loop may not start cycling until a further setpoint or a load change occurs.

Once again how was it that nobody in the plant was aware that an important control loop like this was operating in this fashion and was quite likely to go unstable at any moment?

Figure 6 is the open loop test on this loop. It shows the very cyclic response of the valve on each step. Such a response is probably due to a positioner problem. Modern smart positioners very often contain their own internal P + D controllers which if not properly tuned can cause overshoots, or exhibit cycling that can often lead to unstable loop behaviour as seen here. Unfortunately time did not permit further investigations to be undertaken at the time these tests were performed.

Figure 6

I believe these examples once again illustrate how important it is that the valve does what the controller wants, if good control is to be achieved.

Monday musing

1. 'Love Big Be Well' may very well make it as one of my books of the year.

2. Speaking of books, a pal put me on to a fellow called Ryan Holiday who produces a monthly book recommendation email that I now enjoy. It's where I discovered 'The Shepherd's Life'. These are his Best reads of 2017.

3. If you want a stunningly good talk on calling then 'Real Security and  the Call of God' is for you.

4. I am engaging in a more real way with the incarnation as we have a baby which is due to arrive any day.

5. My devotional for 2018 is 'Seeking God's Face' which I began in Advent. I've done a few years of BiOY and sensed it was time for something new.

6. I am mulling on the fact that I am just as loved by Jesus even though less people are coming to our church than a year ago. Surprisingly, no one is interested in inviting me to speak at a conference to share the profound things I am learning about my heart, myself and the gospel as I reflect on the nature of Jesus's upside down kingdom. My friend, mentor and fellow race runner is pastor of a slightly declining church too so we make an interesting pair in this season of our lives.

7. I have been really enjoying cooking recipes from Leon One Pot.

8. I've been wondering what Eugene Peterson would say to my pal who told me his church has grown so much he no longer has time to work on sermons. He is a far more gifted leader than I and a very good big-hearted friend and encourager. He tells me he now uses superb sermon outlines of a gifted mega-church pastor and his folk absolutely love their content and the church is growing even more. So many things to muse on from these couple of sentences. Now, I've googled the preacher in question and he has written a blog post complaining about 'pastoral plagiarism' by other pastors. I then googled his name and 'sermon outlines' and discovered his own website sells PDF's of his talks. If you sell PDF's of your own talks then it should not be a huge shock that people then preach and use them? I could write so much more on this but I won't....

9. 'Our entire story is predicated on the assumption that we're massive screw-ups. What's supposed to be unique to Christians is how we’re the first to recognize the trouble we're in, the first to cry uncle. If we want to lead in anything, it's this prayer: Help me, I've made a mess of things.

And boy, how often have we made a mess of things. We've screwed up more than a few of the basics: neglecting care of the poor and the children, failing to nurture creation, participating in systems of power rather than sacrificially laying down our power for others. And yet this is why we need the church all the more. This is not the time to surrender the whole idea of church, nor is it time to retreat into empty theological ideals or rhetoric that have nothing to with our place and our neighbours. We don't  need religious platitudes. We need an actual community of friends who take responsibility for..... [fill in the place name of your church]'

Love Big, Be Well, p.26

10. This is a good piece on the Pope wanting to change the Lord's prayer.
