Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - The Quadra Island Foundation recently distributed $110,000 to four non-profit organizations. In today's interview the foundation's Vice Chair, Marc Doll, explains the rationale behind those choices and a little of what he expects the money to accomplish.  Marc Doll: “There was this recognized recognition of how much this province uses and depends on nonprofits. So the government of British Columbia put together a pool of $25 million, which went to Vancouver Foundation. From the Vancouver Foundation, it trickled down to foundations like the Quadra Foundation, Cortes Community Foundation and Campbell River Foundation.  It was administered at the local level by local foundations, but from a pool of money that came from the British Columbia government.”  “We advertised - online through local media, press releases etc - to indicate that we had this fund of $110,000 to distribute locally. We were almost triple subscribed, we had about $300,000 in total applications.”  “So to whittle that down we hired a coordinator, Jennifer Banks Doll, who headed up the grant committee. She was tasked with finding a committee populated by regular Quadra Island citizens and a board member or two. They then went through the grants. We had a way of weighting the grants in terms of what was going to be the most returned to the community and from there allocated the grants to the four successful applicants.”   Cortes Currents: Tell us a little about each of the successful applicants. Marc Doll: “There were 4 successful applicants. There was Quadra Circle that received about $54,000. Quadra Circle is an organization on Quadra that serves the seniors population. They have weekly meetings. They offer help to seniors that are housebound, need medical, exercise, or social gatherings. They have quite a portfolio of things that they do, and they were looking to build their capacity through the hiring of a part time Executive Director. The largest allocation went to them.”  “The Quadra Island Seniors Housing Society received about $30,000. Again, I believe it was for a part time Executive Director. The Quadra Island  Seniors Housing Society was incredibly successful. To be able to build affordable housing on Vancouver Island is an incredible task. They were able to successfully get that done a couple of years ago and I think they're looking at  increasing the number of dwellings on the island.  They have a waiting list  in the dozens and dozens of people for the units that they were able to create. They're looking to future growth and getting paid staff to facilitate that.”  “The third successful Grantee was the Quadra Island Climate Action Network, which on the island is known as ICAN.  That organization is relatively new. It's been around for maybe five, six years, and their focus is building community capacity with a climate focus, and they've been doing a lot of great work on water,  food security, and a bunch of different high profile projects that they've been undertaking.  They are looking to, again, hire an Operations Coordinator to provide some support  in all those many and varied projects that they're working on.” “The final successful grantee was the Quadra Island Recreational Society. It was a subgroup within the rec society, which operates the Wednesday lunches and the idea was to increase the capacity of that kitchen to serve  the 100, 150 people that they do every Wednesday during  the shoulder or the slower seasons. There were some kitchen upgrades that were going to enable them to better serve the people of Quadra. So those were the four successful grantees.”  Cortes Currents: Which sectors of Quadra's population are in the greatest need? I'm thinking of age groups, but there might also be other factors which I haven't thought of.

On today's show, a grantee in the Women's Economic Mobility Hub speaks about her business and experience in the program. Plus, the Bentonville Public Library expansion is underway, local music and a conversation with current GOP presidential candidate and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson about his efforts to qualify for the first party debate.

Building grantor/grantee trust is a process that goes far beyond writing a check. It takes intention and thoughtful connection. A panel of private funders share stories about unique ways they are bringing community members into the grantmaking process and building better relationships with their nonprofit partners.From community involvement to focus groups to centering racial equity in their granting work, these funders are tackling difficult challenges with small changes while working within the constraints of their “traditional” funder role. Instead of saying, “we can't change because we have to answer to our board,” they're saying, “we can make small, creative changes when we are patient and focus on the outcomes the board expects instead of the things we've always done.”Speakers:Danyelle O'Hara | Community Relationship Officer, Mortenson Family FoundationAmbar Hanson | Community Relationship Officer – Philanthropy, Mortenson Family FoundationKaryn McKelvey | Grants and Program Manager, Laird Norton Family FoundationTopics:Doing away with written applications in favor of a video call to reduce the applicant burdenImplementing declination grants of up to $2,500 for applicants who don't receive fundingBringing community members onto grant committees to represent populations servedUnderstanding how to move slowly but with intentionLinks:Compass: Connect with other members of the philanthropic community at Community.foundant.comSocial: Follow Foundant Technologies on Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, and InstagramWebsite: Foundant.com

Welcome to Simply Trade podcast! This week's episode features expert guest Jeremy Page, discussing Foreign Trade Zones and their benefits. Firstly, Page clarifies that Foreign Trade Zones are not the same as Free Zones, and delves into the history of the zone program and the agencies overseeing it, including the FTZB and CBP. Other players, such as the Grantee, Operator, User, and Administrator, are also discussed. Next, the requirements to participate in Foreign Trade Zones are outlined, including the necessary applications and approvals, manual requirements, bond, inventory control and recordkeeping systems, and reporting obligations. Page then explores the benefits and costs of Foreign Trade Zones. Benefits such as inverted tariff, direct delivery, re-export, duty deferral, zone to zone transfers, and use as an export manufacturing platform are discussed, as well as the weekly entry (with noteworthy UFLPA implications). Costs include grantee support, bond, ICRS, use of bonded carriers, headcount, and CBP engagement. Lastly, current issues with Foreign Trade Zones are explored. These include the absence of USMCA benefits for goods withdrawn from the zone for domestic consumption, USMCA (and formerly NAFTA) duty deferral limitations, and the lack of de minimis benefits.

Scripture Reading: John 14:15-31 15 “If you love me, you will obey my commandments. 16 Then I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept because it does not see him or know him. But you know him because he resides with you and will be in you.18 “I will not abandon you as orphans, I will come to you. 19 In a little while the world will not see me any longer, but you will see me; because I live, you will live too. 20 You will know at that time that I am in my Father and you are in me and I am in you. 21 The person who has my commandments and obeys them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal myself to him.”22 “Lord,” Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “what has happened that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and take up residence with him. 24 The person who does not love me does not obey my words. And the word you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.25 “I have spoken these things while staying with you. 26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and will cause you to remember everything I said to you.27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; I do not give it to you as the world does. Do not let your hearts be distressed or lacking in courage. 28 You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father because the Father is greater than I am. 29 I have told you now before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe. 30 I will not speak with you much longer, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me, 31 but I am doing just what the Father commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Get up, let us go from here.Main ThemesIf You Love Me, You Will Obey My CommandmentsTo love is to obey. That is certain to evoke a nearly visceral reaction in our modern culture. Honestly, I think that for us modern readers (myself included) even understanding such a statement is difficult. That is why we should take a minute to explore it in detail.Let's consider this statement from two angles.Covenantal TermsFirst, let's remember the Old Testament background to statements of love and hate. In the Old Testament we find God making covenants with people, such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, and David. These bĕrît were common in the ancient Near East. So common, in fact, they followed a particular format. We do this kind of standardization today with common contracts as well, such as with bills of sale. Covenants also used particular language. We also do this today. Have you ever read a deed? It probably includes a phrase such as “conveys to Grantee to have and to hold it to Grantee and Grantee's heirs, successors, and assigns forever.” Someone unfamiliar with our legal system may not understand that such language is legalese for “convey in fee simple.” What are we missing when we read ancient covenants? Consider the following quotation:Blessings were another important feature of a bĕrît. These were the benefits promised if the contract were maintained. Curses were the consequences if the contract were violated. Covenant loyalty (“lovingkindness” or ḥesed) was the objective of the agreement. The parity treaties report that the partners are now brothers; the suzerain/vassal covenants speak of the parties as father/son or lord/servant. To abide by the contract with one's suzerain was to love him, and to betray the suzerain or to fail to keep his stipulations was to hate him. Is any of this language sounding familiar? It should be! The Bible is riddled with it. Why? Because this is the terminology associated with the international politics of the ancient Near East, and the Bible is describing Israel's relationship to Yahweh in terms of a bĕrît. Yahweh has become Israel's suzerain and Israel has become his vassal. Richter, Sandra L.. The Epic of Eden (p. 79). InterVarsity Press. Kindle Edition [emphasis added].Forgive me for belaboring the point, but we really need to understand covenants in some detail before the “New Covenant” really makes sense to us. For that, let's consider the format of the Old Covenant—the suzerain/vassal covenant that God made with his people Israel: I. Preamble/Title: “I am Yahweh your God . . .” Gives title of superior party Exod 20:2a; Deut 5:6aII. Historical Prologue: “. . . who brought you up out of the land Furnishes the basis of obligation of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.” and the motive for accepting the covenant's stipulations as binding Exod 20:2b; Deut 5:6b (cf. Deut 1—3)III. Stipulations/Obligations Imposed: “You shall have no other gods before me. . . .” Exod 20:3-17; Deut 5:7-21 (cf. Deut 12—26)IV. Deposition and Provision for Periodic Reading of the Treaty Before the People: Treaty text archived in the temple of the vassal's chief deity (i.e., the witness to his oath)“Then Moses turned and went down from the mountain with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand . . .” (Ex 32:15) “. . . and in the ark you shall put the testimony which I shall give you.” (Ex 25:21; cf. Ex 40:20; Deut 10:5) “At the end of every seven years . . . when all Israel comes to appear before Yahweh your God at the place which He will choose, you shall read this law in front of all Israel in their hearing. Assemble the people, the men and the women and children and the alien who is in your town, in order that they may hear and learn and fear Yahweh your God, and be careful to observe all the words of this law.” (Deut 31:10-12; cf. Ex 24:7; Josh 8:30-35)V. List of Witnesses: “I call heaven and earth to witness against you today . . .” The deities of both parties are summoned to act as witnesses to the oaths taken Deut 4:26; 30:19-20; 31:28VI. Curses and Blessings: “And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you if you will obey Yahweh your God . . . But if you will not obey Yahweh your God . . . all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you.” Deut 27:11–28:68 These acts of treaty-making were sealed by means of a ratification ceremony involving oath and sacrifice (Ex 24:3-8; cf. Gen 15:17-21; Jer 34:17-20; Mt 27:22-25). [emphasis added]Richter, Sandra L.. The Epic of Eden (pp. 83-84). InterVarsity Press. Kindle Edition.It is in this covenantal context that we find one of the most well-known verses of the whole Bible:You must love the Lord your God with your whole mind, your whole being, and all your strength. (Deuteronomy 6:5)As a clarification, I am not claiming that all references to love and hate in the Old or New Testaments are part of covenantal language. They are certainly not. However, when they are, we need to make sure we understand how the meaning can be affected.The New Covenant—the covenant that God makes with all believers in Christ is also a suzerain/vassal covenant. It can be expressed in the same format as before. I encourage you to take each of the six sections above and fill in the blanks for the New Covenant.What is the point of all this extended discussion on covenants? A covenant is a deal, like an ancient contract. Both sides have responsibilities. There are benefits for following the deal and penalties for breaching it. And notice that in this deal, one who follows the deal is said to love the other party. In covenantal terms, obedience does not result from love, obedience is love. So to say, “if you love me, you will obey my commandments” is nearly to express a tautology.Of course, the New Covenant is quite a one-sided deal. Christ is the sacrifice by which the contract is sealed (see part VI above) and nearly all the stipulations (see part III above) are placed on Christ too. He must be perfect and fulfill the law, not us. What do we have to do? Believe. No more, no less. But if we really believe in someone or something, won't that affect our behavior? Absolutely. This takes us into the next point.Faith Implies ObedienceLet's consider this verse from a different angle. Throughout the Gospel of John, Jesus encourages his disciples to persevere. I do not mean only the twelve disciples, but all the people who place their faith in Jesus. Throughout the story many fall away. Jesus requires too much for them.Consider what that means. What does disobedience imply? A lack of trust. An example is useful. If I were invited to go bungee jumping, there would come a point when I am standing before a great fall. I am told, “jump!” Assume I don't. I just stand there. I cannot get over the fear that the elastic rope will snap. I step away from the edge and go home. What went wrong? I did not have faith in the rope. I did not believe in the rope.Those who love Jesus will obey his commandments because they trust him. They trust that what Jesus says is good is truly good and worthwhile. They trust that what Jesus says is bad is truly bad and worth avoiding. They believe Jesus words about this life and the next.Christians are often accused of obeying out of fear. The accusation is not completely wrong. Leaving questions of salvation aside for a moment, God designed the world a certain way. Opposing that design will generally have bad consequences, which we are right to fear. But notice that the overarching reason to obey is trust. If a doctor I trusted told me I needed to take some vitamin every day, I would do it even if I did not know what would happen if I did not. There might be no fear of consequences, but there would be trust that following his directions would lead to a better life.He Will Give You Another AdvocateOnce Jesus departs, he tells the disciples, the Father will send another “advocate.” At least that is the word used by the translation we are using. Other translations may use a different word. Here's translator note 37 from the NET Bible, which sets up the issue quite well:Or “Helper” or “Counselor”; Grk “Paraclete,” from the Greek word παράκλητος (paraklētos). Finding an appropriate English translation for παράκλητος is a very difficult task. No single English word has exactly the same range of meaning as the Greek word. “Comforter,” used by some of the older English versions, appears to be as old as Wycliffe. But today it suggests a quilt or a sympathetic mourner at a funeral. “Counselor” is adequate, but too broad, in contexts like “marriage counselor” or “camp counselor.” “Helper” or “Assistant” could also be used, but could suggest a subordinate rank. “Advocate,” the word chosen for this translation, has more forensic overtones than the Greek word does, although in John 16:5-11 a forensic context is certainly present. Because an “advocate” is someone who “advocates” or supports a position or viewpoint and since this is what the Paraclete will do for the preaching of the disciples, it was selected in spite of the drawbacks.We could get caught up in the weeds of this translation dilemma. For example, the translation of “Consoler” dates back at least to Origen (circa 200 AD). The “Comforter” translation dates back to the Wycliffe translation (circa 1390). The translation “Advocate” is arguably most consistent with Rabbinic uses of the term. At the end of the day, the context should dictate the proper translation. And which translation fits the context best? That is tough to answer. Instead, let's explore this idea of the Paraclete in more detail. A great starting point is to ask: how does the Paraclete compare with Jesus?Paraclete Christ14:16 given by the father 3:1614:16–17 with, in, by the disciples 3:22; 13:33; 14:2014:17 not received by the world 1:11; 5:53 [sic:43]; (12:48)14:17 not known by world (only believers) 16:3; 8:19; 10:1414:17 not seen by world (only believers) 14:19; 16:16–1714:26 sent by the Father cf. chs. 5, 7, 8, 1214:26 teaches 7:14–15; 8:20; 18:1915:26; 16:7, 13 he comes (from the Father into world) 5:43; 16:28; 18:3715:26 gives testimony 5:31ff.; 8:13ff.; 7:716:8 convicts the world (3:19f.; 9:41; 15:22)16:13 speaks not from self but from what is heard 7:17; 8:26ff.; 14:1016:14 glorifies his sender 12:28; 17:1, 416:13ff. reveals, discloses, proclaims 4:25; (16:25)16:13 leads into fulness of truth 18:37; 14:615:26; 14:17; 16:13 is Spirit of truth/is truth 14:614:16 (etc.) a Paraclete (14:16); 1 John 2:1Keener, Craig S. The Gospel of John : 2 Volumes (p. 965). Baker Publishing Group. Kindle Edition. (citing Burge)The proximity, or better yet, the continuity between Jesus and the Paraclete is incredible. The Paraclete is like another Jesus. And that is exactly the point. Jesus has not “abandon[ed] us as orphans.” He is with us in a real way. Indeed, he is in us. (John 14:20)The Paraclete is not simply a personification of Wisdom. Notice how closely the Apostle Paul identifies the Holy Spirit, Jesus, and God:8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to him. 10 But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is your life because of righteousness. 11 Moreover if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through his Spirit who lives in you. (Romans 8:8-11, emphasis added)Did you catch the striking looseness of Paul's language? He goes from the Spirit, to the Spirit of God, to the Spirit of Christ, to Christ! And then back to the Spirit! God, Christ, and the Spirit all act in concert, on behalf of one another. So Paul can confidently claim that to have the Spirit is to have Christ is to have God.The point I am trying to make is that the Paraclete is not some kind of metaphor, like a personification of Wisdom. The Paraclete is God. The Paraclete is one with Jesus and the Father. And the Paraclete is just as personal (as in, it has personhood) as Jesus and the Father.The last topics of discussion will be the characteristics of the Paraclete that are emphasized in the remaining verses of chapter 14.Paraclete as the Invisible SuccessorJesus does not abandon us as orphans. He sends the Holy Spirit to continue doing all the jobs Jesus was doing (see the chart above). But the Spirit is invisible to the world. Then how can the Christian mission continue moving forward?First, we need to understand what John means by “world.” The world refers to those people who are not in Christ. Oftentimes John divides all humanity into two groups: believers and the world. So I will repeat the question above: if nonbelievers cannot see the Paraclete like unbelievers could see Jesus in the flesh, how can they ever come to believe in Jesus?This brings us to the second successor of Jesus—the Church. I know I am going off script a bit since the Gospel of John does not emphasize the motif of the Church succeeding Christ. This motif is found mostly (although not exclusively) in the writings of Paul. Nonetheless, I must mention it so we get a full picture.Just like Jesus as a human person has a body and spirit, Jesus' presence on this earth continues to have a body and spirit—the Church and the Paraclete. That is why we can answer the question above. The “world” cannot see the Spirit, but they can see Jesus' body, just like they could see Jesus when he walked on the earth. The Church as a body indwelled by the Spirit of God is to continue the work that Jesus started.Consider the following verses:Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are different ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are different results, but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. 7 To each person the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the benefit of all. 8 For one person is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, and another the message of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another performance of miracles, to another prophecy, and to another discernment of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 It is one and the same Spirit, distributing as he decides to each person, who produces all these things.12 For just as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body—though many—are one body, so too is Christ. 13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body. Whether Jews or Greeks or slaves or free, we were all made to drink of the one Spirit. 14 For in fact the body is not a single member, but many. 15 If the foot says, “Since I am not a hand, I am not part of the body,” it does not lose its membership in the body because of that. 16 And if the ear says, “Since I am not an eye, I am not part of the body,” it does not lose its membership in the body because of that. 17 If the whole body were an eye, what part would do the hearing? If the whole were an ear, what part would exercise the sense of smell? 18 But as a matter of fact, God has placed each of the members in the body just as he decided. 19 If they were all the same member, where would the body be? 20 So now there are many members, but one body. 21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you,” nor in turn can the head say to the foot, “I do not need you.” 22 On the contrary, those members that seem to be weaker are essential, 23 and those members we consider less honorable we clothe with greater honor, and our unpresentable members are clothed with dignity, 24 but our presentable members do not need this. Instead, God has blended together the body, giving greater honor to the lesser member, 25 so that there may be no division in the body, but the members may have mutual concern for one another. 26 If one member suffers, everyone suffers with it. If a member is honored, all rejoice with it. (1 Corinthians 4:26)Notice that Paul is not using the word body as figuratively as we may use it. We may speak of someone's “body of work,” in which case the word takes on the meaning “aggregate.” We may also refer to a group using the word “body,” such as a “legislative body.” This second use gets much closer to what Paul means, but it is still not quite there. Paul does not use body as a simple aggregate of all believers or as a synonym for the “group” of believers. He really does mean that we make up a functioning organism. Paul seems to use the word “body” as when we say that many cells make up one human body.Notice that the Spirit is the one assigning roles (by means of gifts) to each part of the body. That is a key role of the Spirit, which is mentioned albeit in less detail in John 14.Paraclete To Teach and RemindIn verse 26, we are told that the Paraclete will come to teach and remind of “everything.” The first question, and a rather simple one, is whom will the Paraclete teach and remind? Only the disciples? The context makes clear that the scope is broader. The verses just prior indicate that “anyone who loves [Jesus]” will be loved by the Father, and the Father will “take up residence with him.” The Holy Spirit will teach every believer “everything” and remind every believer of “everything [Jesus] said to [the disciples]”.The second question, and a more challenging one, is what is the scope of the teaching and reminding? The reminding action is unambiguously limited in the text by the clause “everything I said to you.” What about the teaching action? Can the Holy Spirit teach us new revelation that goes beyond what is revealed in the Bible? Could the Holy Spirit lead us into new revelation that contradicts the Bible? Let me give you some reasons why I do not think that is correct.First, to what does the phrase “everything I said to you” apply? Above, I said it unambiguously applies to the action of reminding, but that does not mean it cannot apply to something else too. Notice the grammar is ambiguous as to the action of teaching. The phrase could properly apply to one action or both. Therefore, the context will dictate what is being qualified by that phrase.What is the context? In this section, Jesus repeatedly demands obedience to his commandments. He also portrays the Paraclete as a continuation of Jesus. This alone rules out the possibility that the Spirit would teach anything contradictory to what Jesus taught during his earthly ministry. But this is also a strong indication that the Spirit will act within the confines of Jesus' words. Put simply, this is strong indication that the Paraclete will “teach you everything [I said to you] and will cause you to remember everything I said to you.”Additionally, this interpretation of teaching is in line with the Jewish halakah tradition. Halakah was (and still is) the totality of laws and ordinances that evolved since biblical times to regulate religious observances and the daily life and conduct of the Jewish people. Therefore, if we interpret “teaching” as a first century Jew might have done, it would have meant lessons based on the scripture. Perhaps such teaching could go “further” than the scripture in teaching practical applications of it, but not in creating entirely new themes.Finally, we have John's other writings to help us decipher this. Consider 1 John 2:18-2718 Children, it is the last hour, and just as you heard that the antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. We know from this that it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us because if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But they went out from us to demonstrate that all of them do not belong to us.20 Nevertheless you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know. 21 I have not written to you that you do not know the truth, but that you do know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is the liar but the person who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This one is the antichrist: the person who denies the Father and the Son. 23 Everyone who denies the Son does not have the Father either. The person who confesses the Son has the Father also.24 As for you, what you have heard from the beginning must remain in you. If what you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. 25 Now this is the promise that he himself made to us: eternal life. 26 These things I have written to you about those who are trying to deceive you.27 Now as for you, the anointing that you received from him resides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things, it is true and is not a lie. Just as it has taught you, you reside in him.Notice that in 1 John, the author repeats a strikingly similar idea: God's anointing will “teach you about all things.” But what does it mean? To quote verse 24, “As for you, what you have heard from the beginning must remain in you.” God's anointing leads the believer into knowing and remembering what was “heard from the beginning.” The teaching is about residing and remaining, not about growing into new knowledge.Peace I Leave with YouJesus promises peace after his departure. Indeed, he promises “his peace.” What does he mean?In the ancient world as in the modern world, peace applied to war and human relationships. In those contexts it means the absence of conflict. Peace, however, also had and has other meanings. It could refer to tranquility in the midst of hardship, to bliss after death, and for the Jews in particular it could mean an eschatological hope—i.e., heaven.The context of chapter 14 continually alludes to future troubles. The whole farewell speech makes little sense if once Jesus is crucified the disciples will lead lives of comfort, with little to no conflict. The entire Gospel of John emphasizes perseverance in the faith despite opposition, with that opposition sometimes coming from those closest to the embattled believer.Consequently, Jesus is not leaving us peace in the sense that we are promised a life without struggles. Instead—given the near guarantee of struggles—Jesus leaves us “his peace” as a farewell comfort. I think this peace is a tranquility in the midst of hardship because the Paraclete will assure us and remind us of the bliss to come in our heavenly hope.

In this day and age where education and learning mean sitting in front of your computer screen and listening to your professor discuss can be very detrimental in the long run because of the lack of practical learning. This is exceptionally unacceptable in the field of medicine, where interactive learning should always be the aim of every educator.This is where Virtual Reality Training comes into play., In a sense, this can be the next step in the path of education we are striving for. Although not the same as experiencing the training or operation yourself, virtual reality can give us a sense of what to expect in various scenarios in the operating room.Platforms of learning like these can also be used to bring about equity in terms of education and healthcare. This means everyone can have access to these materials, bringing down barriers and boundaries so that everyone can enjoy the same privileges.    Memorable Quotes:“There are great lessons to be learned in reviewing past performances of your own and the other people around you.” – Paul Roberts “We found that clinical immersion, meaning being able to just be a fly on the wall and stand in medical procedure really is helpful for students to learn, especially biomedical engineers and medical students, what is going on, what to expect and how can we innovate and help the people, the physicians that we're going to be working for or working with” – Christine KingThe mission of obtaining health equity is so important. It means everyone has access, not just the privileged, not just the ones with big bank accounts, but the inner cities, the communities, the minority, or the general population everyone has access to quality health, to quality education. – Dr. TrinhThey should be able to see what doctors do.

welcome to the nonlinear library, where we use text-to-speech software to convert the best writing from the rationalist and ea communities into audio. this is: 2018-2019 Long-Term Future Fund Grantees: How did they do?, published by NunoSempere on the effective altruism forum. Introduction At the suggestion of Ozzie Gooen, I looked at publicly available information around past LTF grantees. We've been investigating the potential to have more evaluations of EA projects, and the LTFF grantees seemed to represent some of the best examples, as they passed a fairly high bar and were cleanly delimited. For this project, I personally investigated each proposal without consulting many others. This work was clearly limited by not reaching out to others directly, but requesting external involvement would have increased costs significantly. We were also partially interested in finding how much we could figure out with this limitation. Background During its first two rounds (round 1, round 2) of the LTF fund, under the leadership of Nick Beckstead, grants went mostly to established organizations, and didn't have informative write-ups. The next few rounds, under the leadership of Habryka et. al., have more informative write-ups, and a higher volume of grants, which are generally more speculative. At the time, some of the grants were scathingly criticised in the comments. The LTF at this point feels like a different, more active beast than under Nick Beckstead. I evaluated its grants from the November 2018 and April 2019 rounds, meaning that the grantees have had at least two years to produce some legible output. Commenters pointed out that the 2018 LTFF is pretty different from the 2021 LTFF, so it's not clear how much to generalize from the projects reviewed in this post. Despite the trend towards longer writeups, the reasoning for some of these grants is sometimes opaque to me, or the grant makers sometimes have more information than I do, and choose not to publish it. Summary By outcome Flag Number of grants Funding ($) More successful than expected 6 (26%) $ 178,500 (22%) As successful as expected 5 (22%) $ 147,250 (18%) Not as successful as hoped for 3 (13%) $ 80,000 (10%) Not successful 3 (13%) $ 110,000 (13%) Very little information 6 (26%) $ 287,900 (36%) Total 23 $ 803,650 Not included in the totals or in the percentages are 5 grants worth a total of $195,000 which I tagged didn't evaluate because of a perceived conflict of interest. Method I conducted a brief Google, LessWrong and EA forum search of each grantee, and attempted to draw conclusions from the search. However, quite a large fraction of grantees don't have much of an internet presence, so it is difficult to see whether the fact that nothing is findable under a quick search is because nothing was produced, or because nothing was posted online. Overall, one could spend a lot of time with an evaluation. I decided to not do that, and go for an “80% of value in 20% of the time”-type evaluation. Grantee evaluation examples A private version of this document goes by grantees one by one, and outlines what public or semi-public information there is about each grant, what my assessment of the grant's success is, and why. I did not evaluate the grants where I had personal information which people gave me in a context in which the possibility of future evaluation wasn't at play. I shared it with some current LTFF fund members, and some reported finding it at least somewhat useful. However, I don't intend to make that version public, because I imagine that some people will perceive evaluations as unwelcome, unfair, stressful, an infringement of their desire to be left alone, etc. Researchers who didn't produce an output despite getting a grant might feel bad about it, and a public negative review might make them feel worse, or have other people treat them poorly. This seems undesirable because I imagine that most grantees were taking risky bets with a high expected value, even i...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: My experience as a CLR grantee and visiting researcher at CSER, published by Jsevillamol on the Effective Altruism Forum. Last year I applied and was offered a grant from the Center for Long-Term Risk (CLR) fund to conduct independent research. Me and the Center for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER) of the University of Cambridge agreed that I would spend my grant period as a visiting researcher at their institution. I am quite grateful to both organizations for supporting my work over the last six months. Now that the period has ended, I have decided to write a blogpost reflecting on my experience and achievements these last six months. Experience First and foremost, my experience applying and receiving the grant from CLR was as good as one could hope for. There was no major bureaucratic load, and CLR's staff was very supportive, flexible and professional through the process. I kept them updated monthly on the activities I engaged with, not as a requirement for the grant but more as a form of self accountability, keeping in touch with each other's research and providing them with some useful information which I hoped would help them with future grantmaking. As I started the visitorship at CSER I found a really welcoming group that went out of their way to make me feel included. As I arrived I was offered to share my current work and participate in their weekly meetings, and I always had people who would listen to my problems and concerns. In CSER I found people whose reasoning I've come to admire greatly, and I've come off with a greater understanding of the world. I want to highlight Seán ó Héigeartaigh, Jess Whittlestone and Shahar Avin who are excellent researchers with very good epistemics and very goal driven. As negatives, it was quite hard to move to Cambridge. The friends I knew from before who live here were quite busy and at times I felt very lonely. I think the short hours of light in winter contributed to me feeling down. Some things that helped mitigate this were roleplaying with the friends I made at CSER, informal light therapy with a SAD lamp, joining the Cambridge MTG community, biking every day for at least an hour. Special props to Haydn Belfield for keeping me sane through these six months by being a great supervisor and friend, and to Sabin Roman for being a great friend and coworker. The COVID19 pandemic caused me a lot of anxiety and stress, but overall my situation was much better than others'. I could keep working from home, I had stockpiled a lot of Soylent beforehand and my family is all healthy and safe. Achievements In the first week of my visitorship I discussed with my supervisor my goals for the six months. This were the five things I set for myself as goals: Write at least two academic writings: a report on moral patience and another one on quantum computing Figure out what to do after my visit ended, and particularly apply to some PhD programs Learn about CSER's research and collaborate with people here Contribute to the CaSPAR community Overall I feel I met all my goals, albeit I am left with the impression that I could have been more proactive on collaborating with CSER people and their research. Six months after, my main academic outputs during this period were: An exploration of optimal intervention timing from a decision-theoretic standpoint, plus a blogpost with a summary and discussion. This was a very ambitious project and I am glad I undertook it. But as I advanced and received very little positive feedback I resolved to publish an unpolished exploration and focus on my other projects. A preliminary exploration of quantum computing technologies from a philanthropic point of view. This was a blurb collecting my thoughts in the issue rather than formal academic work. Putting it out there helped me connect with a coauthor f...

In part as a result of the pandemic, more funders are paying attention to the needs and well-being of the people who work in grantee organizations. In this episode, we talk with Caroline Altman Smith, a grantmaker at The Kresge Foundation. The team at Kresge, a large international philanthropy, and their consultants at Community Wealth Partners, have developed a straightforward model for delivering professional development to mid-career grantee staff, with a focus on fueling skills and knowledge for racial equity. Through the program, they've also helped to build the marketplace of offerings for nonprofits that are interested in pursuing more talent and leadership development through a racial equity lens. During the episode, we also discuss how to be a good program officer; how to be a good program officer working on racial equity while white; and some of the important academic programs in the sector for learning about philanthropy and good grantmaking.

  On this episode of Rules of the Game, we're going to talk about money. Because at this point you already know that 501(c)(3) public charities and 501(c)(4) social welfare organizations are allowed to lobby and pursue robust advocacy agendas, but how can they secure funding to make their short and long-term advocacy goals a reality? Stick with us for the next few minutes, and we'll have the answers you are looking for.    Our hosts for this episode:  Natalie Ossenfort   Jen Powis    MISCONCEPTION #1: Foundations are not allowed to fund lobbying - REALITY: Both public and private foundations can fund grantees that lobby  COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS  Just another type of public charity  Allowed to engage in lobbying and directly fund grantee lobbying activities  Lobbying grants will count against lobbying limit of foundation and public charity grantee  PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS  Rules for private foundations are a bit more restrictive than those for public charities / community foundations  Not allowed to engage in lobbying and effectively prohibited from earmarking grants for lobbying purposes (if they do these activities, the foundation and managers are subject to a prohibitive excise tax)  This does not mean that private foundations can't fund grantees that lobby:  General support grants are not earmarked for any particular purpose, so a grantee could choose to use those funds for lobbying without exposing their private foundation funder to an excise tax   Specific project grants are another option. So long as the grantee's project budget clearly delineates between lobbying and non-lobbying expenses, the private foundation can fund up to the non-lobbying portion of the grant request without earmarking funds for lobbying / exposing itself to an excise tax.   Grantees can go to multiple PF's, each can give up to the non-lobbying portion of the grant request.  GENERAL  Both private and public foundations must prohibit their funds from being used for partisan political purposes / support or opposition of candidates  Grantees should carefully check the language of their grant agreements to see if lobbying is prohibited. Language that says that the funds are “not earmarked for lobbying” is not the same as language that says that lobbying is prohibited.  EXAMPLES that sound restrictive, but actually permit lobbying:   “Lobbying and Non-Permitted Uses: This grant is not in any way earmarked to support or carry on any lobbying or voter registration activity. Grantee warrants that none of these funds will be used to influence legislation unless permitted by law.”  “This grant is not earmarked for influencing legislation within the meaning of IRC Section 4945(e), and the foundation and Grantee have made no agreement, oral or written, to that effect.”    MISCONCEPTION #2: Foundations can't fund public charity voter registration drives  Both private and public foundations can fund the NONPARTISAN voter registration activities of public charities, but the rules for private foundations can be a bit complicated...  VR Drive must be nonpartisan, over multiple election cycles, in five or more states and cannot be subject to conditions requiring use of the funding in a specific state or election cycle.  There are also requirements related to the grantee's finances (e.g. at least 85% of organization's income must be spent on activities relating to the purposes for which it was organized)  Public charities can receive an advanced ruling from IRS certifying their ability to receive private foundation voter registration grants (confirms that organization meets the requirements of sec. 4945(f) of tax code)    MISCONCEPTION #3: Foundations are not allowed to fund 501(c)(4)s. REALITY: Both private and public foundations can fund 501(c)(4)s.... if they know the rules  COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS  Can fund any work conducted by 501(c)(4) that the community foundation itself would be allowed to engage in (e.g. lobbying, but NOT partisan political activity)  IRS presumes that grant to 501(c)(4) is for lobbying   needs to count against public foundation's grassroots lobbying limit (unless grant was expressly made for direct lobbying purposes and foundation can show that funds were spent on direct lobbying)  Grant will not be counted as a lobbying expense if it is a controlled grant expressly given for non-lobbying purposes (prohibits lobbying with grant funds)  PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS  Must use “expenditure responsibility” when making grants to organizations that are not 501(c)(3)s  Must conduct a pre-grant inquiry and execute a written grant agreement. The foundation must ensure that funds are spent only for the purposes expressly agreed upon.  Must obtain detailed reports from grantee about how funds are spent  Must provide complete report of expenditures to IRS on annual 990-PF  Must prohibit partisan political activities AND lobbying. Because of this, it's often easier for 501(c)(4)s to raise lobbying funds from individuals and community foundations.      Resources  Foundation Advocacy Grants: What Grantees Need to Know  Investing in Change: A Funder's Guide to Supporting Advocacy

It is often true that the best challenge is after a foreclosure is complete. I know that sounds crazy. But tonight we will discuss tactics and strategies in foreclosure defense in which we can hang the evil-doers by their own paperwork. It's true that eventually, the truth comes out — or at least part of it. When the “credit bid” is moved around and the deed from foreclosure is granted, the party involved is often not the named party who sued you or on whose behalf the Notice of Default was sent. Here is some of the wording that we will look at and analyze: This Deed is made by Paul M. Halliday, Jr., as Successor Trustee and a member of the Utah State Bar, under the Trust Deed described below, in favor of U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, successor in interest to Bank of America, National Association, as Trustee, successor by merger to LaSalle Bank National Association, as Trustee, for LXS 2007-8H, ASSET-BACKED NOTES, SERIES 2007-SH, P.O. Box 619080, Dallas, TX 75261-9741, as Grantee. WHEREAS, on XXXXXXX, 2007, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ,, as Trustors, executed and delivered to Meridian Title, as Trustee, for the benefit of Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. as nominee for Varent Inc., a Utah Corporation, its successors and assigns, as Beneficiary, a certain Trust Deed to secure the performance by the Trustors of obligations under a Promissory Note of the same date executed and delivered for a valid consideration to the Beneficiary and the Trust Deed having been recorded in the office of the Utah County Recorder on XXXXX, 2007, as of Entry No. XXXXXXX:2007, describing the property set forth below; and WHEREAS, Paul M.

Merry Christmas!   This is a recap of the 2021 Annual LITC Grantee Conference, which was entirely virtual for the first time in December 2020. The first week focused on a tax bootcamp and training for financial reporting. The second week was the advanced training and other plenary sessions. Several prominent speakers from the IRS and the U.S. Tax Court gave updates on their programs for this point in the pandemic.   For the last two episodes, I went into more depth on my two presentations during the conference. I hope you have happy holidays as we turn to 2021.  

The Community Ownership Award is given to those who actively support residents, small business owners, community organizations and institutions–serving as active participants and key decision-makers in neighborhood revitalization projects. They support local residents and leaders harness the capacity and community power to create positive change and shape the future of their neighborhood. As active, contributing members of Neighborhood Allies’ Grassroots Grantmaking Committee (GGC), Martel Hedge and Kevin Alton have gone above and beyond in their roles, volunteering 4+ hours every week throughout April-June to interview residents seeking a Love My Neighbor! Grant in addition to spearheading their own initiative to hand out meals to children and senior citizens in their South Hilltop communities during COVID-19. Oftentimes, Martel and Kevin were both just returning home from their day of feeding the community only to log on and interview an aspiring Love My Neighbor! Grantee. They truly create community by supporting and connecting with neighbors and helping to co-power residents to become active players in making their neighborhood better in all that they do. In addition, Kevin and Martel both run their own successful youth-focused organizations in the Hilltop. Kevin Alton’s organization, The Way Organization, creates positive change and shapes the future of youth within the Hilltop. Kevin is a mentor for young boys in the community while raising his own children. He coaches football and engages youth who may otherwise have been caught up in prevalent gang violence, and encourages them to instead expend their energy in excelling in the sport. Martel Hedge’s organization, Daddy’s Hands, also focuses on creating positive experiences for youth . Martel encourages dads to take a more active role as a parent and provides a space for relationships to build so that children can find a mentor in their father. Both men are clear leaders and are actively helping to improve conditions for the youth in the Hilltop.

A follow-up to the LITC Grantee Conference held December 2019 in Washington, D.C.  I give background to panels I was on or attended, plus some tips for attending the conference.  The show goes a bit longer so I guess I had something to say on the conference. Here are some tips that didn’t get on the episode:  I go to a nearby pharmacy and buy breakfast for the rest of the week so I don’t have to try and grab breakfast at a restaurant every morning.  I had leftover boxes from dinners that I ate at the brown bag lunches.  Also, the Grand Hyatt hotel is above the Metro Center stop for the Metro if you want to ride in from the Reagan Airport.

Each December there is a conference to provide training for Low Income Tax Clinic clinicians in Washington, D.C.  I provide information on this year's conference - speakers, the types of sessions and topics.  I will be involved in different presentations on Collection Due Process and Social Media (discussing this podcast, Tax Justice Warriors).  If you will be at the conference, please come and chat with me.  It is a great time to learn and meet others in this field. Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving!  

This week’s episode of The Crushing Debt Podcast is the result of a client question - what happens to judgment liens that attach to inherited property? First we have to talk about when liens attach to property and the different kind of liens, then we have to discuss what happens when the person passes who owes the debt.  This week’s episode touches on both lien and probate issues. If you have a judgment lien against your property, or if you inherit property that may have judgment liens from the grantor who died, please contact us to help remove the lien.  Shawn@YesnerLaw.com or www.YesnerLaw.com.

Following an intentional process of listening to and learning from their grantee partners, the Barr Foundation implemented a series of changes to enhance the relationship between the Foundation and grantees. Kerri Hurley and Yvonne Belanger join Greg to discuss the importance of a strong relationship between philanthropy and nonprofits, and the efforts of the Barr Foundation to incorporate continuous feedback from their nonprofit partners to effect meaningful change.

Why would a secular foundation enter into a partnership with faith organizations? In the words of one our guests, Dr. Brenda Richardson Rowe, "Mental health is truly everybody's business, and when you look at the history specifically of the African-American culture, you see that the foundation of all of our information comes from our pastors and our faith leaders." In 2014, the Hogg Foundation launched a groundbreaking new initiative; the African-American Faith-Based Education and Awareness Initiative (AAFBEAI). The foundation awarded grants to 11 faith-based organizations to start or strengthen dialogues about mental health—both within their respective places of worship and in surrounding communities. The AAFBEAI has recently come to a close. Those who have taken part are proud of what they've achieved. Joining us for a look back are Dr. Brenda Richardson Rowe, a licensed professional counselor at Harmony Counseling Center in Dallas, and Dr. Dennis Young, pastor at Missouri City Baptist Church in Missouri City, TX.

> “What I do expect to see is how DAOs will enable a small group of people to enlarge and to scale progressively without losing their spirit.” In this double-DAO episode, we interview [Horatii Partners](http://www.horatiipartners.com/) co-founder Daniel Shavit (also known in the space as @criptodani) and Olivier Sarrouy, Ph.D. in Communication Sciences, Co-founder & tech lead at [ryhopenetwor](https://www.ryhope.network/) & Co-dev of the [Pando protocol](https://github.com/pandonetwork/pando). As one can imagine, this was a very rich conversation. For started, Daniel and Olivier shared their thoughts on the 2018 Berlin Blokchain Week, marked by ETH Berlin and the first decentralized meetup funded through DAOstack's Genesis Alpha. We also explored the Pando Protocol, one of the Grantee projects at Aragon Nest program, learning about how it aims to build infrastructures for decentralized autonomous content. And quite interestingly, we discussed how the ideas of autopoiesis and living systems can serve as powerful frameworks for the development of DAOs. Tune in for that and much more.

A discussion of the slate of panels available during the 2019 Annual Low Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC) Grantee Conference.  During the week, there will be sessions for new clinics and clinic directors.  There will also be special speakers and breakout sessions.  Also, there are optional events like the American Bar Association Low Income Taxpayer Representation Workshop on December 3 at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP.  If you are in the Washington, D.C. area that day I recommend you attend.

My Guest today is Bill McAnalley PhD, a passionate scientist whose research focuses on developing natural products that help sustain and nurture health.  He is both a National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health Fellow and Grantee. Dr. Bill discusses various approaches for stopping the various causes of Parkinson’s disease by inhibiting: Oxidative stress: Parkinson’s patients are in a state of oxidative stress caused by the increase of free radicals.Neuro-inflammation: Neuro-inflammation is involved in an important cascade reaction in neuronal degeneration.Abnormal protein aggregation: Misfolded and aggregated proteins play a key role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease.Neuronal apoptosis: Parkinson’s is caused by the premature death of dopaminergic neurons from abnormal apoptosis activation. Dr.  McAnalley’s research has explored the underlying factors that contribute to the causes of diseases like Parkinson’s. He subsequently formulated a novel approach for addressing them. His revolutionary discoveries have been used to foirmulate a series of unique natural food supplements that support healing to occur from the inside out.
