Thought for Friday, 02/25:
"The third-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the majority. The second-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the minority. The first-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking." ~ A. A. Milne

Day 1
This is quite possibly our last means of correspondence for some time. War is imminent and the consequences dreadful.
A state of emergency has been declared and this will be followed by martial law.
Young Ukrainian men from 16 years of age are being called up to serve in the military and Ukrainians are being given the right to carry arms.
A major cyberattack is happening just now as we write which has affected Ukrainian banks as well as government websites.
Ukrainian citizens are being asked to urgently leave Russia and our local currency is in free fall.
Rhoda and I are not leaving - How can we? As an elder in the assembly my responsibility is to shepherd at all times.
It would be a terrible testimony to get up and leave the Lutsk believers.
We have been preparing for this day. Rhoda and I have bought in generators, fuel, food etc as we would like to turn the Gospel Hall into a place of shelter to accommodate and feed the assembly believers who will face many a hardship.
God is about to give us a great opportunity to show our Christian faith practically and reach out into our community with the Gospel.
Rhoda and I may have to move out of our apartment as we are close to the Lutsk military airfield and on the 14th floor of our apartment block, we have the central headquarters of the SBO - the Ukrainian secret police.
As we close, the military jets can be heard overhead and we covet your prayers !
We are not any braver than you - but confident we are where God would expect us to be - Daniel 4:17

Day 2
6 large bombs went off this morning in Lutsk just as I was going to the Gospel Hall at 06.50. I rushed back to the apartment and got Rhoda. We are safe and will open the Gospel Hall for all who need us. We are safe.
Please pray.
People have started to panic but God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

More "sticky stuff", if true.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine was predicted in my book, "The Corn Siege." Even got the timing pretty close. Just sayin.

Gas today was $3.44.

The global bioresorbable medical material market size is expected to reach USD 2,193.01 Million by 2028 at a CAGR of 9.9%, according to the latest report by Reports and Data. Increasing number of orthopedic surgeries performed in geriatric patients, cost-effective surgical procedures, and growing use of biodegradable materials in medical sector are key factors expected to drive market revenue growth over the forecast period. In addition, advancements in orthopedic science and implants are some other factors expected to support market growth going ahead.

Bioresorbable medical materials are absorbed and excreted by the body after they complete their temporary functions of mechanical, scaffolding, and biointegration. New generation of bioresorbable medical devices have been developed over the recent past to minimize the long-term side effects of corrosion-resistant implants. Bioresorbable medical materials or devices are made up of polymers that can be easily degraded over time. This has enabled the medical sector to overcome issues related to non-natural medical devices with regards to biological incompatibility that can lead to toxic side effects and immune rejection. This has increased interest of researchers and pharma companies in bioresorbable medical devices and is expected to continue to be prevalent going ahead.

The global aneurysm clips market is forecast to reach USD 1.74 Billion by 2027, according to a new report by Reports and Data. The procedure of accessing blood vessels directly by performing a craniotomy and positioning an aneurysm clip to cut off blood supply is known as aneurysm clipping.

This procedure has been used for years to treat brain aneurysms and is not only effective and safe but can be performed on all types of aneurysm. It lowers the risk of recurrence in many patients. Rising demand for surgical procedures and integration of highly compatible materials into the clips are expected to influence the growth of the market. Moreover, the availability of biocompatible aneurysm clips in a variety of shapes and sizes for applications in the neurological field is expected to create potential growth prospects of the aneurysm clips market. Further, the adoption of these clips is anticipated to accelerate by increasing access to healthcare facilities globally majorly.
