World International community must cooperate now to build a safe, sustainable and fair Blue Economy November 25, 2021 New review sets out key recommendations to create a safer and more sustainable future for the oceans and the fast-growing economic activity it supports The vital role of the oceans in creating a low-carbon world is under threat unless governments, businesses and wider society cooperate to improve ocean safety, Lloyd’s Register Foundation has warned. The Foresight Review of Ocean Safety, from independent global charity Lloyd’s Register Foundation, sets out the urgent challenges facing the oceans which offer great potential in areas such as food and energy, but are poorly governed, over-exploited and largely unmapped. With the blue economy predicted to double by 2030 these issues need urgent action built on international cooperation to make sure future developments are safe, sustainable and just. The review, led by Professor Mark Cassidy, highlights the importance of new approaches to engineering in delivering a growing ocean economy. Consolidating recommendations from academia, public bodies, and a wide range of relevant industries in Asia, Europe and North America, the review focuses on interventions to engineer a safer and more sustainable future for oceans – and the people and nature dependent on them – as the economic activity they support continues to grow. The review calls for greater investment in the blue economy and solutions that address rising sea levels, climate change, pollution, labour and safety challengesThese recommendations bring attention to the need for new paradigms of ocean engineering which pursue nature-based solutions that will protect the future of our planet. A just transition to a low carbon, sustainable ocean economy necessitates investment, education, infrastructure, innovation, and decent, safe jobs. Among the key interventions is the need to urgently characterise the ocean and seabed to enable a wider and deeper knowledge of the deep blue. Other key interventions include promoting new approaches to ocean education and skills; building better whole system economic tools to evaluate the true costs and benefits of the blue economy to help guide safe and sustainable investments; developing remote sensing, ocean data and autonomous marine machines and creating stronger and more resistant materials for ocean engineering. Dr Ruth Boumphrey, Director of Research at Lloyd’s Register Foundation, said, “In many ways the oceans today are like the old American Wild West – an area overexploited but poorly governed and planned, with limited protections for those whose livelihoods depend on it. We are all citizens of a blue planet and we depend on the oceans for all aspects of life, from the supply chains underpinned by shipping, to the very air that we breathe. We must become better Ocean Citizens, improving our understanding of all aspects of the ocean economy and making better choices in what we buy and build. “As the world’s population continues to grow, increased demand for food, energy, jobs, transportation and coastal land will put more pressure on an already strained ocean environment. The growth in the Ocean Economy must not be at the expense of biodiversity and those whose livelihoods are made at sea.” Facebook Twitter Linkedin Previous articlePort of Long Beach named Top West Coast Seaport Next articleNovember promotions round sees five maritime lawyers achieve next level career advancement at Hill Dickinson Stella RELATED ARTICLESMORE FROM AUTHOR Field trial utilizing IoT devise of lashing materials control for high & heavy cargo in car carrier business Mitsui O.S.K.

4 Things That Your Managed IT Service Provider Should Be Doing for Your Organization - D2 Integrated Solutions Skip to content D2 Integrated Solutions About Us Client Commitment Services Outsourced IT Department Co-Managed IT Services Managed Help Desk Managed Backup/Recovery Managed Security Professional Services Managed Procurement Services Blog Contact Us Free Technology Audit About Us Client Commitment Services Outsourced IT Department Co-Managed IT Services Managed Help Desk Managed Backup/Recovery Managed Security Professional Services Managed Procurement Services Blog Contact Us Free Technology Audit 4 Things That Your Managed IT Service Provider Should Be Doing for Your Organization September 1, 2020 September 1, 2020 D2 More and more businesses are investing in a managed service provider (MSP) to guide, support, and enhance their IT operations. As the technologies and vendors that power modern business continue to multiply, organizations are turning to dedicated professionals to help them manage the growing complexity and cost associated with such rapid developments. Robust and well-managed IT operations have long been an opportunity for augmenting business efficiency, but today they are more than that. Properly operating technology is absolutely mission critical for many businesses. In the digital economy, where most marketing, sales, product development, collaboration, customer support, and even service delivery is mediated by computer networks, every company is a technology company. Problem Signs Given the considerable technological requirements of modern business, choosing the right MSP has implications for the functioning of an organization from the top down. Still, many firms find themselves dissatisfied with the quality of service they are receiving. Common complaints include: Calls go unanswered and lines of communication are confusing Business needs go unmet Bills are unpredictable or inscrutably vague Documentation isn’t being regularly recorded or transmitted Access credentials are not available around the clock Problems aren’t addressed with sufficient speed Older technology isn’t being phased out New technologies are promoted without first establishing a need Insufficient manpower is being deployed Security holes aren’t being patched Networks are going unmonitored All work is done in reaction to an issue or request, never proactively If your company is dealing with any of these challenges, it’s time to start reevaluating your MSP. A qualified IT service provider is more than capable of avoiding these problems and helping your organization utilize its technologies efficiently, predictably, and effectively. In particular, there are four crucial proficiencies they should be delivering to your business: 1. Leveraging a mutually-beneficial and personal relationship to ensure a proper fit of your technology to your needs Impersonal service providers commoditize their offering with generic responses and recommendations. They don’t take the time to check that the technologies they are promoting are actually producing measurable business results. Nor do they act with the requisite care and attention when interfacing with a client. Service requests should be seen as more than faceless “tickets,” but as human beings with pressing concerns. Furthermore, when an exciting piece of business technology first hits the market there is often a mad scramble to adopt it. Some firms do so because they want to be seen as cutting-edge, others because they see the competition doing it and fear being left behind. A smart and practical MSP, however, will always investigate the real world usage case of a new technology before implementation. The novelty and sheen of the latest tool wears off quickly (and there is always a new product or service coming). Those early adopters end up with software or systems that don’t integrate well with their business, which is a waste of time and money. 2. Demonstrable openness, transparency, accountability, and a fundamentally collaborative approach MSP’s without resources like skilled engineers that are as talented at working with other people as they are with technology, are simply unable to provide an adequate level of service to their clients, which inevitably results in downstream business failures like opaque bills, work done outside of the scope of a service level agreement (SLA), miscommunications and duplicated work, and no clarity as to who controls essential documentation and credentials. Another common issue are first-call failures, which refer to situations where a client finds themselves stuck on hold or bounced around different departments from the moment they contact their MSP — and no one ever takes responsibility for the issue or attempts to correct it. Sometimes there simply isn’t a skilled enough respondent on hand to answer the client’s question, but just as commonly, the MSP lacks a well-documented and organized response framework. The clearest sign that something is wrong is a messy list of individuals or teams to call for different issues. There should be one point of contact for the client that is capable of addressing their problem, deploying the proper response, and being accountable for the outcome. 3. A willingness to perform as a true partner that takes ownership of all technology initiative outcomes and reacts with the same urgency as an in-house IT team Your MSP should offer options like a virtual CIO who monitors and manages all IT activity to keep response times down, network speeds up, security protocols updated, equipment running properly, and a sufficient allocation of manpower working for you. For that reason, a common concern is a lack of scalability on the part of the MSP. They may be built only to handle a specific size and type of IT operation, instead of designed from the onset to grow with their clients, adding on new capabilities and bandwidth so that the client’s business can grow as quickly as the market dictates with minimal friction. Growth only adds to IT complexity. Billing becomes more involved, as does juggling a mushrooming list of vendors and licenses. The MSP’s job is to make growth a seamless process and serve as a facilitator not an obstacle. Only a true partner, one that succeeds when you succeed, will be well positioned to fill that role. 4. Proactive leadership that anticipates problems and addresses them before they snowball Traditional break-fix models that preceded MSP solutions created perverse incentives for IT providers. Those IT firms made more money by letting known issues fail rather than mitigating or preventing the damage beforehand. Worse, they might not even be actively monitoring for trouble in the first place. Expensive and disruptive downtime for you was good for their bottom line. The MSP model solves that problem with an ongoing relationship and better aligned goals. That said, not every MSP lives up to that promise. A diligent and proactive MSP doesn’t just show up after the lights go out or only offer generic solutions that aren’t customized to your needs. It presents forward-looking planning that anticipates problems and boosts your organization’s efficiency and performance. The Right People and Process Success in the modern marketplace demands an MSP that works synergistically internally and with clients. Everyone from the help desk to Network Operations Center (NOC) technicians to the virtual CIO should be capable of adhering to best practices, documenting their activities, and effectively communicating with the client when required. IT business environments are complex; there is no fully automated, ‘set it and forget it’ solution for achieving your key performance objectives while controlling costs. It takes continual monitoring, adaptation, and strategic investment in human and technological resources. Is your MSP supporting the growth of your organization?

Steps That Can Help Keep Your Credit Score Higher Steps That Can Help Keep Your Credit Score Higher By Britt Erica Tunick Despite the financial difficulties that COVID-19 has created for countless people and small businesses across the country, on average, credit scores in the U.S. actually improved throughout 2020. But as the pandemic lingers, there are several things you should be aware of when it comes to keeping your credit score up. According to Experian, the average FICO score, which is the basis for more than 90% of lending decisions in the U.S., hit a record high of 710 in 2020, up seven points from the previous year. While that may seem surprising, given the financial hardships that pandemic-related job losses have created for millions of people, the need for social distancing has significantly curtailed much of the spending people previously did on their credit cards. With vaccines now being distributed, and hopes for a return to some sort of normalcy in the foreseeable future, there are several things you should be aware of regarding your credit score. Following are a few of the things to keep in mind: Make sure to pay bills on time, as failing to do so can not only open you up to potential late fees but it can also significantly harm your credit rating. If the craziness of working from home or managing the routines of children who are attending school remotely has made it hard to stay on top of things such as paying bills, consider utilizing the auto-pay feature that most creditors provide. If you are dealing with financial difficulties related to the pandemic, reach out to your creditors, and see if you can work out some sort of arrangement ―whether that means a temporary increase in the amount of credit they extend to you, or an extension on the amount of time you have to make payments. While there is no guarantee that your creditor will do either of these, it can’t hurt to ask, and many card issuers and companies have been actively working with people during the pandemic to provide help where possible. Keeping a balance on credit cards not only means you will ultimately end up paying more for whatever you have purchased through compounded interest, it can also harm your credit rating. That is because 30% of your FICO score is determined by how much of the credit available has actually been used. Lenders view individuals who max out a credit card or keep high balances as higher risk, based on the likelihood that they will eventually be unable to pay down the debts they have amassed. Financial advisors suggest keeping your overall credit utilization under 30% to avoid negatively impacting your credit score. Do not automatically cancel or get rid of any credit card that you aren’t using. While that may seem a logical thing to do, particularly if you are paying an annual fee for such a card, it isn’t always the wisest step to take. The length of your credit history determines 15% of your credit score, so if you are going to cancel any unused cards, don’t cancel the ones you have had the longest. If a card you have had for a long time is among those you don’t use, consider adding one or two automated payments to that card to keep it active. If there is a fee tied to it, reach out to the issuer, and see if you can work out a lower fee option, or can downgrade the card to a different one that doesn’t involve an annual fee.

Argento, the German Shepherd, was excited and nervous about meeting his human baby brother. There was so much to prepare for, and he’s kind of worried they won’t finish in time. He helps out in building the crib and preparing the other furniture. His bed is comfortable, but it is far too big for a baby boy. In the meantime, Argento practices reading a book. Mommy’s tummy is getting really big, and he gently sniffs her belly, telling his little brother that he can’t wait to meet him. Finally, when she gave birth Argento was ecstatic. He never left his baby brother’s side. With his nose, he couldn’t get enough of the baby’s scent. But he definitely wasn’t a big fan of the smell of dirty diapers. Argento was always by his brother’s side. He would sleep beside his crib, or they would cuddle on the couch. During the day, Argento would stand beside the baby and keep a watchful eye on him. As time passed, Argento kept checking if his brother was big enough to play yet. He tried to show him how to play with a ball, and Argento put it in his mouth and chewed. Humans grow slower than dogs, but Argento didn’t mind. He would patiently wait until his brother grew bigger then they could play together all the time.

Our emotions has everything to do with our skin. As our largest organ, our skin “gives us away” – what we’re thinking, how we’re feeling, and what we’re going through. Some examples we are all familiar with: work stress leading to an acne breakout, and anger increasing the wrinkles on our faces – but what’s the science behind this? You may like this In This Article How does emotions affect our skin? How to achieve healthy mind, heart, and skin: How does emotions affect our skin? Stress, fear and anxiety, and anger are key emotions that affect our skin negatively, albeit in different ways. Stress If you’re feeling stressed, your body produces cortisol, a steroid hormone that harms facial skin cells by weakening and constricting facial blood vessels. This leads to poor circulation, decreasing blood supply to the skin, and eventually resulting in dry, flaky, and possibly irritated skin. If you have existing problems like acne and eczema, stress can worsen them. Stress also results in quicker and shallower breathing, reducing the oxygen carried in your blood stream and by extension reducing the oxygen supply to your skin. As a result, the healthy glow of your skin may disappear. Also, we are all too familiar with turning to unhealthy food like fatty and sweet junk food when stress hits. Such food are correlated with acne breakouts. Lastly, sleep may be affected during periods of stress – when this happens, you may wake up with puffy eyes, dark circles, and a dull complexion. Fear and anxiety (sometimes leading to depression) Source Fear and prolonged anxiety leads to high levels of adrenaline and cortisol in our bodies. Your sweat glands start over working, affecting your skin condition. What’s more, you tend to frown more when you’re anxious, increasing wrinkling. Prolonged anxiety may lead to depression, which not only causes acne but also triggers hormones that can affect sleep-patterns. Anger Just like anxiety, anger increases the wrinkles on your face. It also decelerates the skin’s healing and produces dark spots. If you suppress your anger instead of letting it “flow”, this may disturb your body’s balance and leaving you not looking your best – it may even lead to acne, eczema, and rashes in some people. How to achieve healthy mind, heart, and skin: Now that we know negative emotions can have an effect on our health and skin, here are some tips that can help you manage your emotions and lead a better lifestyle. Diet and lifestyle A well-balanced diet and adequate exercise are the two most important ingredients for healthy, glowing skin, as they ensure that toxins are flushed out of your system. In addition, a well-balanced diet ensures the required nutritional supply for your skin, and exercising releases endorphins, a.k.a. the happy hormone. With these, you’re on your way to healthier, glowing skin! Practice mindfulness Mindfulness is no longer just a religiously affiliated practice – the practice of secular mindfulness is on the rise (you can start by joining some of these activities). This practice helps to keep you calm and collected in times of stress, and with that, its goodbye to stress, and hello to healthy skin! Proper cleansing and care for your skin Even if you’re very busy, cleansing, toning, and moisturising on a daily basis is the minimum skincare routine – do not skip any of these! Do not over-worry – and cry if you need to! Do not over-worry about situations that are beyond your control. Such emotional disturbances can only worsen your skin condition and speed up ageing – and possibly make you more upset than you were previously. If you need to, have a good cry – it doesn’t mean that you’re weak. Crying is our body’s natural way of giving relief to stress and releasing negative hormones from your body, lowering stress levels – you will feel much better and relaxed after the crying.

Pink Shrouds Aimed to Draw Attention to Iran Military Site, Analysts Say by Gareth Porter – Dandelion Salad Dandelion Salad Menu Skip to content About Anti-war Before You Enlist Capitalism Categories and Tags Christianity Civil Rights Climate Crisis Contact Corporations Really Suck Economy Environment Fascism History Human Rights Imperialism Inequality Labor Palestine Protests Resistance Revolution Socialism Updated Posts Writers September 9, 2012 by dandelionsalad Pink Shrouds Aimed to Draw Attention to Iran Military Site, Analysts Say by Gareth Porter Image by FJJ, World Can’t Wait via Flickr by Gareth Porter Featured Writer Dandelion Salad crossposted at ISP Sept. 7, 2012 Diplomats from an unidentified country and a Washington research organisation considered close to the International Atomic Energy Agency have alleged in recent weeks that Iran has covered two buildings at a military site to hide a clean-up of evidence of nuclear weapons related testing. But two former intelligence analysts with experience in interpreting satellite photographs of military facilities say the coverings on the two buildings in published images of the site don’t appear to be aimed at hiding anything. The images show bright pink coverings on the buildings, which the former intelligence officers say are a clear signal of an Iranian desire to focus U.S. and Western attention on the site – probably to ensure that it would not be focused on activities at another site at the huge Parchin military base. Meanwhile, the IAEA has not been able to explain why Iran would only begin a clean-up of the Parchin site after the IAEA requested access in January 2012 if it was hiding activities linked to a Ukrainian scientist whose work with Iran had been revealed in the news media beginning as early as October 2008. The site in question at Parchin military base is where the IAEA said in a report last November that Iran had installed a large explosives containment vessel supposedly to test nuclear weapons designs. The IAEA has been requesting access to the base to see if there is evidence of such tests. Former IAEA team leader in Iraq Robert Kelley, one of the few genuine specialists in the world on remote detection of nuclear activities, has noted a host of reasons for doubting that such a vessel ever resided at the Parchin site. The latest episode in the months-long media story of alleged Iranian “sanitisation” of the site at Parchin began with an Aug. 22 story by the Associated Press Vienna correspondent, George Jahn, who has long served as a conduit for a stories leaked by Israeli officials. The story quoted two “senior diplomats” from countries which the writer could not identify as saying that the “sanitisation” of the site by Iran to remove evidence of past nuclear weapons-related research was now in its “final stages”, and that some of the clean-up was being “hidden from spy satellite views by screens set up over the site”. Two days later, satellite images of the site dated Aug. 15 published by the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) showed that the “screens over the site” were actually pink coverings on two buildings. A Reuters article published earlier that day reported unidentified “diplomatic sources” saying the building which the IAEA believed housed an explosives chamber had been wrapped in “scaffolding and tarpaulin” that was “hiding any sanitisation or other activity there from satellite cameras”. ISIS director David Albright speculated in an Aug. 24 commentary that the purpose of the pink coverings on the buildings “could be to conceal further cleanup activity from overhead satellites or to contain the activity inside”. He even suggested that the pink tarp “could provide a cover for the demolition of the buildings, or portions of them while also containing the spread of potentially contaminated debris.” The Aug. 30 IAEA report, after listing the “activities and resultant changes” at the site since January, referred to the images as showing two buildings had been “shrouded” and declared that its “ability to verify the information on which its concerns are based has been adversely affected”. The former intelligence analysts, however, have told IPS the suggestion the pink shrouds are meant to hide clean-up activities from satellite cameras lacks credibility. Both asked not to be identified in this article. One of the former officers, who is familiar with efforts by foreign states seeking to cloak military activities from U.S. spy satellites said, “Someone in Iran wanted the two buildings to be imaged.” The pink covers suggest “misdirection”, he said, likening it to past efforts by the former Soviet Union and North Korea to focus the attention of U.S. intelligence on a specific site in order to keep it away from activities elsewhere. Another former intelligence analyst with expertise on photo imagery said the pink shrouds “are exactly the opposite of concealment activities”. The Iranians “know perfectly well that the site is being imaged”, the former officer said. “This is the ‘shiny object’ that the Iranians want ISIS, the gullible Western press and others to pay attention to,” he explained, most likely to distract attention from activities elsewhere. New information in the Aug. 30 IAEA report further undermines the credibility of the larger allegation that Iran has been trying to “sanitise” the site in question in 2012. The report notes that the agency notified Iran of that location only in January 2012, and that satellite imagery of the site for the period from February 2005 to January 2012 shows “virtually no activity at or near the building housing the containment vessel”. If Iran were actually hiding nuclear experiments using an explosives containment vessel at the site, it would have been forced to take action on the site after October 2008, when it learned that Western intelligence agencies had already identified the Ukranian scientist the IAEA claims helped build the container. The New York Times reported Oct. 9, 2008 that IAEA officials were “investigating whether a Russian scientist helped Iran conduct complex experiments on how to detonate a nuclear weapon, according to European and American officials.” That was an obvious reference Vyacheslav Danilenko, a Ukrainian who had worked for decades in the Soviet nuclear weapons complex, although he specialised in nanaodiamond production from explosives, before working in Iran from 1996 to 2000. Danilenko’s first name and first initial of his last name, as well as the fact that he had worked in Iran in the late 1990s, were published in Der Spiegel Jun. 17, 2010. If Danilenko had indeed been collaborating with Iran on a containment vessel for tests of nuclear weapons designs at Parchin, those news media reports would have triggered Iranian efforts to clean up the site years earlier. But nothing happened – even after the IAEA November report, which discussed the alleged vessel – until the IAEA informed Iran that it wanted to visit Parchin and provided Iran with the specific location in January. Robert Kelley, who has been top nuclear inspector for the IAEA and project leader for nuclear intelligence at Los Alamos National Laboratory and director of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Remote Sensing Laboratory, has expressed strong scepticism about the idea that the site shown in a series of satellite images has anything to do with high explosives, much less nuclear weapons-related work. “The building in question is not a classical HE (high explosives) building, that is for sure,” Kelley told this writer in late May. Kelley and the two former intelligence officers agree that the building is far too close to a major divided highway to be involved in such sensitive testing activity. The ex-intelligence analysts also said there are no special security features as would be expected of a top secret facility. In an article in Jane’s Intelligence Review Jun. 18, Kelley noted that the presence of a berm only on one side of the building is consistent with standard radiation shielding for an X-ray machine to check the quality of missile components manufactured at Parchin rather than high explosives experiments. Kelley also noted a number of reasons why the story of the containment vessel at Parchin doesn’t add up. If Iran were testing nuclear weapons designs, Kelley wrote, it is doubtful that it would have done so with a containment vessel such as the one described by the IAEA, noting that the U.S., Soviet Union, China, Iraq and South Africa did such experiments in the open in remote secret locations, because it enabled them to make more rapid progress. The UK used a containment vessel, he wrote, only because of the absence of such remote locations. David Albright has argued that Iran needed the vessel to hide its experiments from spy satellites, but Kelley pointed out that Iran could have simply used a temporary tent to cover the experiments.

This is a blog to discuss philosophy, chess, politics, C. S. Lewis, or whatever it is that I'm in the mood to discuss. Thursday, October 27, 2011 Amalekites, Canaanites, theo-utilitarianism, and skeptical theism No, I do not hold that YHWH commanded the slaughter of the Amalekites. I hold that either God didn't do that, or there are unknown reasons why He did. I can see some reason why God might have commanded such a thing, so that in my view the case against it isn't a slam dunk. So I would not call someone a moral monster who thought that God had given such a command, I think it morally possible that God might have done so, but on the other hand treating someone anyone as outside the pale of moral consideration strikes me as problematic and not in accordance with what I know about God in the New Testament. In other words, I don't see how these actions could be justified without putting some limits on who is my neighbor, and the parable of the Good Samaritan says we can't really draw such limits. I'm not committed to a theory of inspiration that would require me to defend such a thing. In another part of Deuteronomy, the Blessings and the Cursings, it indicates that people will get earthly blessings if they are obedient to the Covenant, and earthly cursings if they are not obedient. But you only have to look as far as Job and Ecclesiastes to see that that's questionable even within the Bible. People as conservative theologically as the Flannagans don't try to defend the Amalekite/Canaanite ban as morally acceptable. We are considering the possibility that God had a reason for doing something that seems to go against the grain of morality. Someone who feels committed to a sufficiently high view of inspiration and inerrancy to think that a moral defense of the passages must be available. I think if I were to make such a defense, it would have to be pretty much along the lines of skeptical theism, although, because of the need to preserve monotheism, I can see some of the reasons for it. Part of this has to do with how much of a consequentialist you are. Does the possibility of good consequences that maybe God can see and we can't justify God in telling someone to slaughter a whole nation of people. I suppose if I were a theo-utilitarian, the possibility would be open that God could command an action, atrocious in itself, which would be justified by its consequences. Never Ever Bludgeon Babies? But what if you know that the baby is Baby Hitler? I don't concur with Craig's position on this, but I think that it's easy to be too simplistic and glib in criticizing him. Posted by Victor Reppert at 3:09 PM Labels: biblical ethics 89 comments: Anonymous said... two issues: is there any possible way God's apparent command could be morally justifiable. A utilitarian can answer yes--really anything in principle is possibly morally correct if the situation is sufficiently bizzare. But given what we know, is there a plausible morally sound justification for the command. Hell no. October 27, 2011 5:27 PM unkleE said... Vic, I think I pretty much agree with what you say here - I cannot find a justification for these commands, but I don't know everything. I suggest another possible defence lies in Jesus' comment that God gave Moses permission to allow divorce because of their "hardness of heart" (Matt 19:8). On this view, God's will was not to kill the tribes, but he allowed it, or they thought he allowed it, because the Jewish nation hadn't yet reached a stage in their moral evolution to live up to (say) the Sermon on the Mount. I don't feel happy with that explanation either, but I feel it gets closer to something I could live with than the "It was God - get used to it" defence. October 27, 2011 5:42 PM BeingItself said... "there are unknown reasons why He did" Suppose you had the opportunity to prevent a genocide. Would you intervene and stop it? Why? Maybe God has good reasons for the genocide to occur. October 27, 2011 5:59 PM Crude said... Why? Maybe God has good reasons for the genocide to occur. And maybe God has good reasons for stopping the genocide. We also have commands from God that, lacking some specific revelation to the contrary, impel us to stop genocide. Not to mention - doesn't that depend on the genocide? Sam Harris, Peter Singer and others can seemingly name situations and conditions under which genocide is permissible. Would you say that genocide is never, for any reason, ever acceptable? October 27, 2011 6:47 PM PhilosophyFan said... Job did get earthly reward in the end... But on this issue, I don't see why anyone would focus on it versus, say, eternal hell as punishment. Slaughter is finite pain. God could have wiped away their pain afterwards... October 27, 2011 6:48 PM Crude said... For the record, I think Victor's position here is a very reasonable response. Similar to mine, but in the opposite direction - I think the Amalekite command isn't problematic, but I can certainly see why others would take it to be so. October 27, 2011 6:49 PM BeingItself said... Crude, Suppose I commit a genocide, because I think God revealed that I should, then I'm off the hook. In a universe where God privately reveals that we commit genocide and/or has private reasons to allow genocide, then everything is permitted. October 27, 2011 7:10 PM Crude said... Suppose I commit a genocide, because I think God revealed that I should, then I'm off the hook. In what sense? Legally, morally? In a universe where God privately reveals that we commit genocide and/or has private reasons to allow genocide, then everything is permitted. No, not everything. Only what's consistent with God's nature and commands. What's the problem with that? Especially if you come at this question from an atheist/materialist perspective, where everything is permitted anyway. Again, back to Harris and Singer and company finding justifications for everything from infanticide to genocide. It's okay for Harris to determine that a nuclear first strike wiping out some group makes sense, but for God such a thing is off limits even in principle? October 27, 2011 7:31 PM Walter said... In a universe where God privately reveals that we commit genocide and/or has private reasons to allow genocide, then everything is permitted. No, not everything. Only what's consistent with God's nature and commands. What's the problem with that? How can we know what is not consistent with God's nature? If God told you to rape and kill every Muslim that you meet, would that be consistent with God's nature? And if not, what is the difference between that and the Amalekite situation. When is a command too terrible to possibly come from the good god of the Ontological Argument? Or is no command too terrible because we can never know if there are mysterious but sufficient moral reasons for the atrocity that we have been ordered to commit? Do good soldiers just follow orders and never balk? October 27, 2011 7:48 PM BeingItself said... It is part of God's nature to endorse genocide. And to endorse rape. Don't you believe the Bible? October 27, 2011 7:55 PM Crude said... Walter, How can we know what is not consistent with God's nature? Philosophy, theology and reason go a long way. When is a command too terrible to possibly come from the good god of the Ontological Argument? What makes you think the deciding point is the command, rather than eternal results and outcomes? Would a good God let what happened to Anne Frank, happen? But what happens if we haven't seen the end of Anne Frank's story? Do good soldiers just follow orders and never balk? Maybe if you could tell me how you yourself determine the good, and what grounds the objective values you believe in, we could explore this. But on the other hand, this question is flat out duplicitous. As if there hasn't been tremendous amounts of investigation and consideration about these questions by Christians (and other theists) for thousands of years. Give that much credit, please. The very fact that theodicy is engaged in for as long and as deeply as it has deflates this sort of line. I keep pointing to Harris and Singer, but I do it for a reason. I see a lot of outrage about the very idea that a Good God could justify the death of a child, for example. But apparently, it's okay for Singer or Harris or company to justify it. That's when I start to question the sincerity of the line of inquiry. And I don't think it does good, as one wag did, to say "Well Singer is just talking about it, God did it!" Because unless Craig committed some genocides when I'm not looking, the 'talking versus acting' bit apparently didn't mean much. October 27, 2011 7:56 PM Crude said... It is part of God's nature to endorse genocide. And to endorse rape. Don't you believe the Bible? Not the Bible as you understand it, most likely. But no, we're informed about God's nature by far more than the Bible. Still, what do you think of infanticide? Is anyone who justifies it, or who finds justifying it reasonable, a monster? October 27, 2011 7:58 PM Victor Reppert said... The literalism of some atheists puts W. A. Criswell (who wrote a book entitled "Why I Preach that the Bible is Literally True.") to shame. October 27, 2011 8:33 PM Walter said... It's a simple question, Crude; is there any command that is so terrible that it would make you question the goodness of the source? Where is the line in the sand that Yahweh would not cross? And I am not Peter Singer nor am I Sam Harris, so please stop with the irrelevant tu quoque. October 27, 2011 8:34 PM BeingItself said... Visctor, You are the one who thinks the slaughter of the Amalekites is literal history. October 27, 2011 8:40 PM Victor Reppert said... Beingitself: Can't you read? I said: No, I do not hold that YHWH commanded the slaughter of the Amalekites. October 27, 2011 9:16 PM Papalinton said... What a mash of insouciant drivel. Read the equivocations: " God's will was not to kill the tribes, but he allowed it, ..." "There are unknown reasons why He did" "Maybe God has good reasons for the genocide to occur." "Suppose I commit a genocide, because I think God revealed that I should, then I'm off the hook." "It is part of God's nature to endorse genocide. And to endorse rape. Don't you believe the Bible?" "What makes you think the deciding point is the command, rather than eternal results and outcomes?" Christian thought, christian morality, christian understanding, all over the place, inconsistent, self-contradictory, unfounded, an old coat still looking for a hook to hang itself on. after 2,000 years. A veritable moving feast. Anonymous is right when "given what we know, is there a plausible morally sound justification for the command [god's command for genocide that is]. Hell no." And I say not under any circumstance. October 27, 2011 9:31 PM Steven Carr said... Craig continues his systematic campaign of explaining why children should be killed for their own good, earning rounds of applause from Christians delighted to have somebody on their side at last. An American in Oxford October 27, 2011 9:33 PM Crude said... Walter, It's a simple question, Crude; is there any command that is so terrible that it would make you question the goodness of the source? Where is the line in the sand that Yahweh would not cross? Prior to Christ? I would need to see more than the command. I would need to see the results - particularly the same results that Yahweh sees. That's the elephant in the room here: The command is not the real issue. The results of the command, is. After Christ? I'd be very skeptical of any commands even roughly similar to the one delivered against the Amalekites, barring some extraordinary circumstances. And I am not Peter Singer nor am I Sam Harris, so please stop with the irrelevant tu quoque. My question doesn't require you to be either - it requires you to judge their point of view, like you're judging mine, and like others have judged Craig's. It's not an "irrelevant to quoque". It's an equally simple question - is defending infanticide justifiable? I'm sitting here being told in no uncertain terms that whatwas done to the Amalekites was absolutely unjustifiable, and one of the most stirring things done to them involved infanticide. The topic that originally fired all of this off were particular commands God supposedly gave in the Old Testament - not hypothetical acts a person wonders if God could potentially give. So I'm asking a fair question: Is infanticide something no good being could command or justify? Why is this question being sandbagged? I know why it is, and you know what it is. And that's why I keep on asking it. October 27, 2011 10:45 PM Truthoverfaith said... And then Jesus said, "Here ye, here ye. What in the hell is this bullshit I'm hearing about me being some kind of human sacrifice!? Who in the hell came up with that Neanderthal bullshit!? Human sacrifice!!!! Are you out of your fucking minds!!???" And his disciples responded, "Umm, what 'choo talkin' 'bout, Willis?" October 27, 2011 10:46 PM unkleE said... Walter said: "It's a simple question, Crude; is there any command that is so terrible that it would make you question the goodness of the source?" I think this is a reasonable question, and I don't suppose everyone will agree with my answer. CS Lewis, who this site commemorates, once said words to the effect of If God and truth seem to be diverging, follow truth, and you'll find that was where God was all along. The apostle Paul said something similar, that any action not done in faith is sin. So I believe we are called up to make moral judgments about these things, and if I believed something wasn't right and godly, I hope I wouldn't do it. The problem with making a judgment in the Amalekites case is that it was 3 millennia ago, we weren't there, we cannot understand the situation and we are not called upon to make this sort of judgment. October 27, 2011 10:47 PM Victor Reppert said... On the other hand, if there is no God, then no one will be held accountable for the genocides that have been perpetrated throughout history. Does that bother anybody? October 27, 2011 10:50 PM Crude said... On the other hand, if there is no God, then no one will be held accountable for the genocides that have been perpetrated throughout history. Does that bother anybody? I'll go one further. If someone rejects objective morality, then any complaints about the 'evil' of the most literal interpretation of the Amalekite genocide become statements of personal whim, not the stuff of good and evil. I think even Lewis had something to say about this sort of thing. October 27, 2011 10:54 PM Crude said... unkleE, One problem I'm having here is that a number of critics want to passionately condemn the command against the Amalekites - but when we dig deeper and ask which acts they engaged in that were particularly reprehensible, the crowd starts to thin. Because if the move is 'You can never justify infanticide!', then some uncomfortable questions get asked about Harris, Dawkins, Singer - and about the subject of abortion in general. But if the move is, 'Okay, infanticide is justifiable... but not killing adults!', then it's going to sound funny. Really, killing hostile enemies is beyond the pale? And if the move is, 'Okay, killing children and adults is alright. But the entire Amalekite *culture* was wiped out! That's just wrong!', everyone will just roll their eyes. October 27, 2011 10:59 PM BeingItself said... Victor, I say: "You are the one who thinks the slaughter of the Amalekites is literal history." And you respond with: "No, I do not hold that YHWH commanded the slaughter of the Amalekites." LOL! WTF? Who cannot read? My comment did not mention YHWH. Do yourself a favor. Accept the obvious fact that the bible is just a bunch of made up myths. It would make your ad hoc theology a much easier project. October 27, 2011 11:01 PM BeingItself said... Victor asks: "On the other hand, if there is no God, then no one will be held accountable for the genocides that have been perpetrated throughout history. Does that bother anybody?" Not at all. The desire for retributive punishment is a sure sign of a immature juvenile mind. October 27, 2011 11:05 PM Crude said... LOL! WTF? Who cannot read? My comment did not mention YHWH.

VICTOR 'No, I do not hold that YHWH commanded the slaughter of the Amalekites.' CARR Well, why not debate Craig on the subject? Oh I forgot, Craig will not debate the topic of the reliability of the Bible. I'm sure there is a reason why Craig ducks all debates about the reliability of the Bible, but I can't put my finger on it. October 27, 2011 11:58 PM Crude said... I'm sure there is a reason why Craig ducks all debates about the reliability of the Bible, but I can't put my finger on it.

Crude said: "One problem I'm having here is that a number of critics want to passionately condemn the command against the Amalekites - but when we dig deeper and ask which acts they engaged in that were particularly reprehensible, the crowd starts to thin." Well I don't want to passionately condemn anyone here. I just think: 1. As a christian, I am troubled by the Amalekites story, and I think 'easy' answers are not helpful. I think it better to not try to explain it, but let it remain as a troubling story. There are enough strong reasons to believe in Jesus that a troubling OT story isn't enough to change that. 2. I agree that Harris, Singer et al deserve criticism for their beliefs, which, unlike Craig's, could actually lead to people today being killed. But this doesn't (for me) soften the problem of the OT killings. I don't want to dwell on a problem here, but I do think we christians should honestly face problems and not try to avoid them or explain them away. October 28, 2011 4:28 AM BeingItself said... Crude, You seem incapable of following a simple conversation. Victor accused certain atheists of taking the bible too literally. I simply pointed out to Victor that his original post stems from his own literalism. Victor then responded with a non sequitur. Then you weighed in with a non sequitur of your own. There is an obvious solution for any Christian to the 'problem' of the slaughter of the Amalekites. You have no good reason to believe it occurred. The bible is not a history book. I realize taking that obvious and reasonable path may cause fatal problems for your world view. Let it be. October 28, 2011 5:06 AM BenYachov said... BeingItself, You contradicted yourself and Crude caught you. At least be a man and own up to it. October 28, 2011 6:46 AM Anonymous said... Skeptical Theism responses to morally monstrous assertions about the will / of God actions be better termed 'Theistic Nihilism'. October 28, 2011 8:21 AM toddes said... Perhaps some Christian brother or sister can help me in my understanding of this. Genocide as a crime is a modern convention. It was created in response to the atrocities of the Holocaust. What we seem to be doing here is projecting our modern concepts back onto an ancient society. The Amalekites preyed on the weak and defenseless members of the Israelites from the time of the Exodus until the Kingship of Saul (approx. 35 years). At this point GOD commands a punitive action that to our modern eyes is veiwed as genocide (though how a punitive action can be regarded as genocide is difficult for me to grasp.) In giving this command, GOD did not reward or give reparations to the Israelites for what the Amalekites had done to them but was strictly a punishment. Everything was to be destroyed. Also it was not directed at the weakest members of the nation, that is, the stranglers at the end of the Exodus or those inhabitants on the borders of Israel, but against the center of the Amakelite nation, the city where the King resided. Of course others will argue that GOD should have only punished those who were directly involved in the actions. Who would that involve? All the able bodied men of military age? 90%, 80%, 70%? Let's say 70%. Now you have a community deprived of 70% of its active defenses as well as a significant portion of its providers (they can't fight all the time). What happens to the rest of the population? How do they defend and provided for themselves? Take away all the modern conveniences from life in the modern-day Middle East and I imagine it's a rather hard scrabble, day-to-day existence for most of the population. Sounds like a slow and lingering death to me or easy prey to the surrounding nations. Of course all this is hypothetical, just like most of our discussion. The opinions on this matter seem to fall into two camps: 1. Genocide is evil therefore God is evil for commanding it. 2. GOD is good therefore His reason for commanding such an act is good. For myself, given what little information we are provided and our distance from the event, I'll focus on the events of the Cross and take option two. October 28, 2011 10:51 AM BeingItself said... Ben, My comments are on 2 different issues. Crude quote mined me from the first topic and inserted into my second. I realize that's SOP for YEC'ers and so on. Please don't sink further to that level. October 28, 2011 11:05 AM Crude said... My comments are on 2 different issues. Crude quote mined me from the first topic and inserted into my second. No, I pointed out that contrary to your claim, you did bring God into the topic - and that's part of what motivated Victor's response to you. Now you're going off on Victor's "literalism", despite Victor both expressing a problem with literal readings of the Bible and - from the start - noting that he personally rejects such a strict, literal view of the Amalekite ban in this case. Just check his OP to see that. But really, go ahead and snarl and swing frantically and namecall some more in response. I mean, it's not as if emotional, panicked responses like that from you highlight the mistake you made: we all know that progressively getting more and more furious is a sign of a cool head and logical thought. October 28, 2011 11:58 AM Tony Hoffman said... Crude: "…I pointed out that contrary to your claim, you did bring God into the topic…" But BeingItself's claim was very clear. He wrote: "My comment did not mention YHWH." And that is obviously true. BeingItself's entire comment is so brief it's easy to reprint entirely right here -- and this is BeingItself's comment that VR responded to and that began the exchange: BeingItself's Comment: " Visctor [sic], You are the one who thinks the slaughter of the Amalekites is literal history." Referring to this comment and Victor's response, BeingItself points out " My comment did not mention YHWH." This is true. His comment does not mention YHWH. I can see that all at once when I read his comment and its non-mentioning of YHWH throughout. So, Crude, how is it contrary to BeingItself's claim that his comment did not mention YHWH when his comment did not mention YHWH? I find this bluster especially ironic when it's accompanied by accusations that, based on this false charge, the subject is supposed to be "emotional, panicked" and "furious." Irony, anyone?

Corporate punishment was the norm in that culture and time period, but we have a more evolved sense of justice nowadays, i.e. an individual should only be punished for crimes that he/she are responsible for. You don't receive retribution for something your grand-daddy did. On this note, many skeptics feel that a good and just god would not punish the innocent among the Canaanites right along side the guilty. An example of the innocent would be extremely young children. Even if you accept that the Amalekites were incorrigibly evil as a society, it is a bit of a stretch to claim that small children belong in that category. With all that said, what these conversations really reduce down to is whether one accepts divine-command metaethics or not. October 28, 2011 1:05 PM Mike Darus said... Observations about I Samuel 15: 1) There is a tension of the greater evil between worshipping other gods and killing people. This text values worshiping the true God over any other moral question. 2) There is a tension between the authority of the prophet to discern God's will over the authority of the king. In this text, the authority of the prophet wins. In our terminology, the church rules the state. 3)This account is an exposition of the question whether God can command a person to do something that he thinks is wrong. We usually reject (rightly) that a person who engages in a murderous rapage because "God told him to" is insane. This account explores the question, "But what if the Macy employee really is Santa Claus?" This account acutally serves to establish the principle that it is not OK to kill non-combatants by appealing to this extreme contingency. 4) This is a sentence of the ultimate international court for wrongs done in the past. Therefore it does not fit the definition of genocide unless you reject the legitmacy of the court. How about we actually read the text? October 28, 2011 1:16 PM Ilíon said... Are novelists wicked? Was JRR Tolkien, as a prime example (or Stephen King, as another), wicked -- morally evil -- for placing his characters in the situations in which he placed them? October 28, 2011 1:39 PM Crude said... Tony, But BeingItself's claim was very clear. He wrote: "My comment did not mention YHWH." And I pointed out the prior comment in the same conversation: "It is part of God's nature to endorse genocide. And to endorse rape. Don't you believe the Bible?" Victor made a comment about the literalism of some atheists after this comment. Further, you can consult the original post to see Victor mentioning the problems that can come with particular views inerrancy and inspiration - views that he doesn't take himself. You can see Victor's comment criticizing literalism, and you can see him again saying he rejects the claim that the command to kill the Amalekites is literal history. So, Crude, how is it contrary to BeingItself's claim that his comment did not mention YHWH when his comment did not mention YHWH? The conversation goes beyond the single comment: I quoted the comment in his exchange where he mentioned it being part of God's nature to endorse genocide and rape. BI responded to this trying to push the literalism charge back on Victor, and Victor pointed out - as he did in the OP - that he's not taking the literal reading of the passage. I find this bluster especially ironic Ahh, there we have it. The 'You pointed out a flaw now in someone on My Team, so I am duty bound to point out the flaw in you evne if it's imaginary!' move. But read the thread - BI quickly devolved into namecalling, ranting, and histrionics. I haven't called any names, I haven't ranted, and I don't think pointing out BI's behavior qualifies as histrionics. BI made a pretty simple error in reading. That's no big deal - the fact that he snapped after having it pointed out? Well, that's still no big deal, but it's still worth noting. October 28, 2011 1:41 PM Crude said... Walter, Some of us have a problem with the notion of corporate punishment, believing that a fair and just god would only punish those that are directly guilty for whatever crime has brought on the punitive action. Let's grant that the Amalekites were all wiped out - genocide. Why should it be taken that this was itself a punitive action again each and every one of them? October 28, 2011 1:42 PM Ilíon said... No computer program will ever be a mind, an agent, the moral equivalent of a human being; for, given what a computer program is and is not, it is logically impossible for a computer progam to think, realson, know, understand, etc. However, most of the silly persons (some of whom are outright fools) whinging in this and the related threads over the past few weeks *refuse* to understand that, and why, no computer program will ever be the moral equivalent of a human being. SO, if per impossible, if a computer programmer were to write a computer program which is a mind, a self -- a person -- would it be immoral for him, or any other human person, to turn it off? It erase it? And, on what grounds? October 28, 2011 1:49 PM Walter said... Let's grant that the Amalekites were all wiped out - genocide.

Are you assuming that it might have been necessary to mercifully kill them to spare them a lingering death because their parents were no longer alive to care for them? I'm doing none of the above here. I'm simply asking this: Is it possible for someone to die, or even be killed, but for it not to be a punitive action against them? October 28, 2011 2:26 PM Ilíon said... Mike Darus: "Answer to Ilion: pushing the analogy, we would grant an author the right to destroy his one and only written transcipt but any other person would not have that right." As a side note, I'm not sure whether you're speaking only about my post concerning an author and his works, or if you're also recognizing that the question about (the logically impossible) computer progran which-is-a-person is covering the same ground. That said, to say that "we would grant an author the right to destroy his one and only written transcipt but any other person would not have that right" is literally to assert that "we" are the source of the author's right, and "we" are the source of the denial of that right to any other person. However, to say "we would *recognize* an author's right ..." is to say something very different. And, this lead to a further though -- which happens to illustrate that my two theoretical questions (about authors and their characters, and about computer programmers and their programs) are the same -- The characters in a story do not "live" in or on the physical medium by which the story is spread from human person to human person -- whether a hand-written manuscript, a printed book, the spoken word, or any other means. Rather, they "live", and their world "exists", only insofar as one or more human persons *knows* their story ... knows them and their history. THUS, when of one judge a story to be not worthy of recalling -- much less of nring passed on to another human person -- then we are willing the "death" of the story's characters and the destruction of their world. When all of us make that choice about some particular story, then the death of the characters is complete; at the same time, so long as there exists a physical record of the story, the characters *may* be "resurrected" at some later time if someone were to read it. October 28, 2011 2:28 PM Ilíon said... Crude: "I'm simply asking this: Is it possible for someone to die, or even be killed, but for it not to be a punitive action against them?" You mean, as in Coventry, or Dresden, or Hamburg, or Berlin, or Tokyo, or Hiroshima, or Nagasaki? October 28, 2011 2:31 PM Keen Reader said... At least the Israelites had an excuse: they thought YHWH commanded genocide. Stalin and Pol Pot's atheist hordes have no such excuse for their far far greater genocide two and a half millenia later. October 28, 2011 2:32 PM Mike Darus said... Ilion said, "When all of us make that choice about some particular story, then the death of the characters is complete..." An atempt to follow... When one us deletes the program or shelves the book or forgets the story, there is an incremental wounding of the impact of the character. Depending on the worth of the character, this could be a loss or a gain to the user. October 28, 2011 2:38 PM Victor Reppert said... Where did I commit myself to literalism about the Amalekite ban. The Israelites didn't carry out the ban, so what is at issue is whether YHWH issued it. If you can't pinpoint where I said that, then my complaints about reading accurately are vindicated. It's no more difficult than that. October 28, 2011 2:40 PM BeingItself said... Tony, Thanks for the help. I've been a few rounds with Ben before, at it really is just a pointless waste of time. He is completely unmovable, even in the face of obvious overwhelming evidence. There is just no point in trying to converse with someone like that. October 28, 2011 3:22 PM Tony Hoffman said... Crude: "Here's a hint: This isn't about a single comment. It's about a conversation." No. You chose to make this about a comment when you said that when BI wrote “My comment did not mention YHWH” he was making a false statement. (Accusing someone of making a false statement, when they did not, is counterproductive in discussions, and I’ve found it’s best to nip it in the bud before moving on.) You see, if I say “Contrary to your statement, the sky is blue,” I should be able to show that you made the statement, Crude: “The sky is not blue.” Let’s be clear again: BI wrote: “My comment did not mention YHWH.” He did not say, “I didn’t mention YHWH, or God, ever.” He said, “My comment did not mention YHWH.” You have, for some reason, stuck to the absurd idea that you are correct in calling this statement false. But it is not false, because his comment did not mention YHWH. You have all kinds of other options to try and further the discussion. You could have asked for clarification, you could have said that you thought YHWH was somehow relevant to the comment in question, etc. But I think it’s telling that you have so far dug in and insisted that black is white because that is what you wrote the first time. I’ll give you the same options as Ben (who it appears has shown the surprising good sense to just avoid further digging on his own behalf on this topic altogether). You can admit that wrote hastily and should not have accused BI of making a false statement (in fact it was you who was mistaken), or you can grab the shovel and show us all that no matter what, you just won’t admit that you can make a mistake.

Tony, >I’ll give you the same options as Ben (who it appears has shown the surprising good sense to just avoid further digging on his own behalf on this topic altogether). You can admit that wrote hastily and should not have accused BI of making a false statement.... I apologized to Walter for misstating his position. I manned up, said I was sorry & owned up to my mistake. You & BeingItself should try it sometime. Crude caught BeingItself in a contradiction. Trying to parcel a distinction between "YHWH" vs "the God of the Bible" is asinine. If I mention "the God of the Koran" every intelligent person with an IQ larger then 3 knows I am Taking about the Muslim ALLAH. BeingItself was wrong & your defense of him is asinine. I used to think you where reasonable & at one time you where. But now you have degenerated to the level of Paps. It's really sad.

Victor in October 27, 2011 9:16 PM was clearly responding to Beingitself October 27, 2011 7:55 PM What proof do you have he was responding to the post immediately before that one? Well? Plus how does BeingItself post in October 27, 2011 8:40 PM unsay what he wrote in October 27, 2011 7:55 PM? What is the the Atheist version of supercessionism? >Either way I win; either you must admit that the word YHWH is not in that comment and your last two comments are idiotic, or you will refuse to admit that the word YHWH is in that comment and you will look idiotic. Rather your trollish sophistry & kneejerk Atheist tribalism stops you from seeing what any sane rational person can see with his two eyes. What has happened to you Tony? You where so reasonable once.

The Israelites didn't carry out the ban, so what is at issue is whether YHWH issued it. If you can't pinpoint where I said that, then my complaints about reading accurately are vindicated. So rather then discuss this Beingitself throw out a Red Herring he didn't write the word "YHWH" even thought he referenced "the God of the Bible" issuing the Ban. For some reason Beingitself and Tony think that Victor wouldn't consider "YHWH" and the "God of the Bible" synonymous? For some other reason they both think the statement "You are the one who thinks the slaughter of the Amalekites is literal history" abrogates the post "It is part of God's nature to endorse genocide. And to endorse rape. Don't you believe the Bible?" We could have some really challenging discussions with thought Atheists & skeptics on this subject. Only if some would show up to do it** **san Walter, terri and others I might have failed to mention who are taking this seriously as it is clear neither Beingitself or Tony are not. October 28, 2011 6:05 PM Crude said... Tony, You have all kinds of other options to try and further the discussion. Uh, look who I'm talking to. There's no "furthering the discussion" with BI regardless of his error - he's established that he's prone to meltdowns at slight provocation. You? Take a look at your own performance here - bent out of shape and twisting reasoning left and right as you try to be a good comment warrior. Conversations won't be very productive with either of you. BI was wrong. He was suggesting that Victor took the Amalekite biblical passage as literal when he clearly does not - he certainly does not "hold that YHWH commanded the slaughter of the Amalekites". I'll give you your options: You can keep on spin-doctoring in BI defense. Or you can skip it. Or you can devolve into namecalling, or you can give a good recipe for poundcake. Given your track record at this point, I'm going to be about as interested in all of them equally. Assuming your cooking skills match the reasoning I'm seeing here, anyway. ;) October 28, 2011 6:10 PM Crude said... Ben, Don't sweat 'em too much. Such is the way of the Cult of Gnu. There's more reasonable folks to engage. Ilion, You mean, as in Coventry, or Dresden, or Hamburg, or Berlin, or Tokyo, or Hiroshima, or Nagasaki? Possibly, but I think the situation with God is distinct for obvious reasons. What I'm suspecting here is 'God commanded the death of X' being taken as absolutely involving the claim 'God is punishing X'. I'm not so sure that's right. October 28, 2011 6:13 PM BenYachov said... Crude, I was wrong to say to Walter " It's not childish it's just a brute fact you didn't give us every argument imaginable." I was wrong to say that to Walter. Walter didn't say every "argument imaginable". I was in fact being childish to him. I feel bad because he has been taking this conversation seriously & in my opinion he has been making a good faith effort to ask challenging questions(I'm including the discussion you & I had with him on the other tread). I am sorry Walter if you read this. But BI and Tony OTOH.......WTF! I'm going to go watch the rebroadcast of THE WALKING DEAD episode 2 season 2. Some good Zombie movies might clear my head. Then I will pray then play some video games and neosh. Cheers. October 28, 2011 6:29 PM Tony Hoffman said... Ben and Crude, I see that you have both chosen option 2. Sadly, I'm not surprised. Here's a tip I'll give to you both openly, although I'm equally sure you'll ignore it: Arguments presented from those who can modify their position when it is found to be untenable are much more persuasive than arguments from those who cannot. I'll leave you both to figure out if it's better to hold on to a losing argument or to face the changes that come from modifying your position. @BeingItself: "Tony, Thanks for the help. I've been a few rounds with Ben before, at it really is just a pointless waste of time." Yeah, I refrained from responding and agreeing with this because I find it so rude when others share remarks like this openly. But seeing as how the wonder twins are having their time together I thought I'd make this exception. Yup, roger all that. October 28, 2011 7:14 PM Tony Hoffman said... VR: "I thought I was very clear in not claiming that the order to kill the Amalekites was literal history. Where did I say it was?" Victor, I think the distinction about literal (meaning, roughly, "really)" is in two parts: Did God literally order the killing of the Amalekites? and were the Amalekites really killed? You seem to be ambivalent about the former, but confident (literally) about the latter. What I think BI is saying is that there is a certain level of literalism in accepting that the killing of the Amalekites even happened. I don't really follow this topic that closely, but I think I recall that there might not even be evidence (outside the Bible) that there was even a widespread killing of the Amalekites. If that were the case, then not only God's orders but the purported mass killing itself are not to be understood literally as described in the Bible. October 28, 2011 7:38 PM Crude said... Tony, Yeah, I refrained from responding and agreeing with this because I find it so rude when others Right - this is all about politeness and civility, and promoting civil debate. That's why you turn a blind eye both to BI's routine mental spasms, as well as his manifest - if modest - error in this situation. An error I pointed out with utter civility until he burst into ranting. You're just all about the rational debate. ;) Here's a tip you should absorb: Your act gets more takers at blogs run by gentlemen who wear cowboy hats. Outside those warrens, your game is obvious. But don't let me stop your unintentional entertainment - it livens the night up! October 28, 2011 7:43 PM Crude said... Ben, Absolutely - I've seen you more than once happily praise multiple atheists for putting up a civil discussion, and make admissions like those when warranted. Not to mention happily granting retractions like these. You're more level-headed than most give you credit for. Enjoy the movies and games - sounds like a plan for me to copy as well! Team Fortress 2 has some events on after all. October 28, 2011 7:45 PM Victor Reppert said... But Saul didn't carry out the Amalekite massacre! The Bible doesn't say there was an Amalekite massacre, it says that God wanted there to be one, and was angry with Saul for not having carried it out. The Flannagans, if I recall correctly, argue that, given undue Canaanite influence on the Hebrews leading them to idolatry, concluded that what the conquerors should have done was kill everyone. October 28, 2011 7:55 PM BenYachov said... @Crude, Tony has pulled crap like this before. He's all bravado but when you smack him down with logic and facts he beats a retreat then claims victory. Something to the effect of I could answer you but you are not rational blah blah blah! @Victor, Have you ever read Brian Davies THE REALITY OF GOD and THE PROBLEM OF EVIL or any of his essays on the subject matter? If so what do you think of his solution to the Problem of Evil(that is he neatly dodges it by showing that God cannot coherently be described as a Moral Agent unequivocally compared to a human moral agent. Or another way to put it God is Goodness Itself, Ontologically & Metaphysically good but not morally good.) Seems to me it has implications in regards to God Commanding Haram. October 28, 2011 8:54 PM BenYachov said... BTW where are my manners? Thanks for the complement Crude. October 28, 2011 8:56 PM Walter said... But Saul didn't carry out the Amalekite massacre! The Bible doesn't say there was an Amalekite massacre, it says that God wanted there to be one, and was angry with Saul for not having carried it out. Not exactly. Samuel was a little peeved about Saul sparing the King and some of the livestock. The massacre seemed to have occured (assuming the historical reliability of the text--which I do not) 1 Samuel 15:3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy[a] all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’” 7 Then Saul attacked the Amalekites all the way from Havilah to Shur, near the eastern border of Egypt. 8 He took Agag king of the Amalekites alive, and all his people he totally destroyed with the sword. October 29, 2011 7:09 AM Anonymous said... Considering the Amalekites are still causing problems later in the book--see I Samuel 30--I think it's safe to say that within the context of the narrative no, the genocide of the Amalekites did not happen. Whatever positions we take on inspiration, inerrancy, etc., the text itself is absolutely clear that Saul does not wipe out the Amalekites from the earth (even though he says he did, with the exception of Agag). Where we go from here interpretively is another question, but the claims of the text are clear. Rob October 29, 2011 9:30 AM BenYachov said... Is "all his people he totally destroyed with the sword" the OT equivalent of the NT "pluck out your eye" I wonder? Just saying....... @Walter Did you read my apology to you? No hard feelings I hope. October 29, 2011 12:47 PM Anonymous said... @Ben It's a common way to take it. The Amalekites make a return later in the text without much fanfare, and then David is neither commissioned to fulfill Saul's failed punishment nor is he condemned for allowing Amalekites to escape. There was a paper on the "hyperbole of the ban" circulating several months back. My own view (such as it matters) is that Saul is tested by God's command to punish the Amalekites the same way Abraham is tested with the destruction of Sodom and the sacrifice of Isaac. Abraham passes the covenant mediator test, proving his God-like wisdom. Saul fails and does to the Amalekites exactly what the Amalekites tried to do to Israel centuries earlier. Hence David, who passes his test (dealing with Saul) brilliantly and becomes the covenant mediator in II Samuel 7. Rob October 29, 2011 1:00 PM Walter said... Did you read my apology to you? No hard feelings I hope. No hard feelings, Ben. I also get a little too adversarial at times. It just means that you are passionate about the subject. October 29, 2011 1:59 PM BenYachov said... Wolterstorff's argument that the Haram Command is Hyperbole. With some archeological backing by Kenneth Kitchen via Matt F's blog. http://www.mandm.org.nz/2011/01/god-and-the-genocide-of-the-canaanites-i-wolterstorff%E2%80%99s-argument-for-the-hagiographic-hyperbolic-interpretation.html I read threw a blog post from the late ex-Christian Ken Pulliam which attempts to answer this argument. All that I can say is if I believed in Sola Scriptura, Perspicuity & rejected the Augustine principles of interpretation I might be moved by the argument to take it literally. But as Crude once said the arguments of ex-Christian Protestant fundamentalists and Evangelicals vs Protestant Christian fundamentalists and Evangelicals are non-starters for a Catholic. Thought I believe it could go either way or be rationally explained either way. @Walter Cheers man. October 29, 2011 2:53 PM Ilíon said... "Is "all his people he totally destroyed with the sword" the OT equivalent of the NT "pluck out your eye" I wonder?" Frequently.

Hours to Kill is the third book in Susan Sleeman‘s Homeland Heroes series. When FBI Special Agent Addison Leigh is attacked, her estranged husband and RED Team member, Deputy U.S. Marshal Mack Jordan races to her side. Addy never wanted to leave Mack, at least, that’s what people tell her. Now she can’t remember him, his team, or the investigation that likely caused her car accident. Mack, on the other hand, remembers exactly why he ended their marriage: his PTSD-related nightmares, one of which caused him to hurt Addy. Never would he put her in a position for him – or anyone else – to hurt her again. Ever since book one, I’ve been looking forward to Mack’s story. He’s a cowboy-turned Night Stalker-turned U.S. Marshal. A big softy who used to work fugitive apprehension. We’ve seen glimpses of his estranged wife, but getting to know her in this story, it is easy to love her, too. She’s strong and caring, even when her memories make her feel like a stranger to the people she used to trust with her life. Hours to Kill may be the third book, but it is enough of a stand alone that you can read it without having read the series. However, the other books are great, too, and I think reading them in order will provide a deeper appreciation for this story. If you’re looking for a suspenseful story, pick up a copy of Hours to Kill.

Learn more Machine Learning vs Deep Learning Ask Question Asked 4 years, 10 months ago Active 2 years, 8 months ago Viewed 5k times 12 6 $\begingroup$ I am a bit confused by the difference between the terms "Machine Learning" and "Deep Learning". I have Googled it and read many articles, but it is still not very clear to me. A known definition of Machine Learning by Tom Mitchell is: A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some class of tasks T and performance measure P, if its performance at tasks in T, as measured by P, improves with experience E. If I take an image classification problem of classifying dogs and cats as my taks T, from this definition I understand that if I would give a ML algorithm a bunch of images of dogs and cats (experience E), the ML algorithm could learn how to distinguish a new image as being either a dog or cat (provided the performance measure P is well defined). Then comes Deep Learning. I understand that Deep Learning is part of Machine Learning, and that the above definition holds. The performance at task T improves with experience E. All fine till now. This blog states that there is a difference between Machine Learning and Deep Learning. The difference according to Adil is that in (Traditional) Machine Learning the features have to be hand-crafted, whereas in Deep Learning the features are learned. The following figures clarify his statement. I am confused by the fact that in (Traditional) Machine Learning the features have to be hand-crafted. From the above definition by Tom Mitchell, I would think that these features would be learned from experience E and performance P. What could otherwise be learned in Machine Learning? In Deep Learning I understand that from experience you learn the features and how they relate to each other to improve the performance. Could I conclude that in Machine Learning features have to be hand-crafted and what is learned is the combination of features? Or am I missing something else? machine-learning deep-learning Share Improve this question Follow edited Jan 23 '17 at 14:34 user2835098 asked Jan 20 '17 at 10:45 user2835098user2835098 13311 silver badge66 bronze badges $\endgroup$ 1 2 $\begingroup$ This is covered very well in the Deep Learning book by Goodfellow et al. in the first chapter (Introduction). $\endgroup$ – hbaderts Jan 20 '17 at 16:01 Add a comment | 4 Answers 4 Active Oldest Votes 5 $\begingroup$ In addition to what Himanshu Rai said, Deep learning is a subfield which involves the use of neural networks.These neural networks try to learn the underlying distribution by modifying the weights between the layers. Now, consider the case of image recognition using deep learning: a neural network model is divided among layers, these layers are connected by links called weights, as the training process begins, these layers adjust the weights such that each layer tries to detect some feature and help the next layer for its processing.The key point to note is we don't explicitly tell the layer to learn to detect edges, or eyes, nose or faces.The model learns to do that itself.Unlike classical machine learning models.

As you already know, successfully training a "traditional" Machine Learning model (ex: SVM, XGBoost...) is only possible after suitable pre-processing and judicious feature extraction to select meaningful information from the data. That is, good feature vectors contain features distinctive between data points with different labels and consistent among data points with the same label. Feature Engineering is thus the process of manual feature selection from experts. This is a very important but tedious taks to perform! Unsupervised Feature Learning is a process where the model itself selects features automatically through training. The topology of a Neural Network organized in layers connected to each other have the nice property of mapping a low-level representation of the data to a higher-level representation. Through training, the network can thus "decide" what part of the data matters and what part of the data doesn't. This is particularly interesting in Computer Vision or Natural Language Processing where it is quite hard to manually select or engineer robust features. (picture credits: Tony Beltramelli) As an example, let's assume we want to classify cat pictures. Using a Deep Neural Net, we can feed in the raw pixel values that will be mapped to a set of weights by the first layer, then these weights will be mapped to other weights by the second layer, until the last layer allows some weights to be mapped to numbers representing your problem. (ex: in this case the probability of the picture containing a cat) Even though Deep Neural Networks can perform Unsupervised Feature Learning, it doesn't prevent you from doing Feature Engineering yourself to better represent your problem. Unsupervised Feature Learning, Feature Extraction, and Feature Engineering are not mutually exclusive! Sources: http://deeplearning.stanford.edu/tutorial/ https://arxiv.org/abs/1404.7828 https://arxiv.org/abs/1512.05616 (Chapter 2, Section 2) 2) Linear Separability Deep Neural Networks can solve some non-linearly separable problems by bending the feature space such that features become linearly separable. Once again, this is possible thanks to the network topology organized in layers mapping inputs to new representations of the data. (picture credits: Christopher Olah) Sources: http://colah.github.io/posts/2014-03-NN-Manifolds-Topology/ 3) Statistical Invariance Lastly, Deep Neural Networks are surpassing traditional Machine Learning algorithms in some domains because some architectures are showcasing Statistical Invariance (ex: Spacial Statistical Invariance with Convolutional Neural Networks and Temporal Statistical Invariance with Recurrent Neural Networks) Check this Udacity video for more details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PH2Vot-tD4 Share Improve this answer Follow answered Jan 23 '17 at 13:05 tonytony 57122 silver badges55 bronze badges $\endgroup$ 0 Add a comment | 5 $\begingroup$ Inspired by Einstein, "“If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself.” All of the above answers are very well explained but if one is looking for an easy to remember, abstract difference, here is the best one I know: The key difference is Machine Learning only digests data, while Deep Learning can generate and enhance data. It is not only predictive but also generative. Source. Of course there is much more to it but for beginners it can get way too confusing.

In machine learning algirithms, such as linear regression or random forest you give the algorithms a set of features and the target and then it tries to minimize the cost function, so no it doesnt learn any new features, it just learns the weights. Now when you come to deep learning, you have atleast one, (almost always more) hidden layer with a set number of units, these are the features that are being talked about. So a deep learning algorithm doesnt just learn the sets of weights, in that process it also learns the values for hidden units which are complex high level features of the trivial data that you have given. Hence while practicing vanilla machine learning a lot of expertise lies in your ability to engineer features because the algorithm isnt learning any by itself. I hope I answered your question.

Hidden variables are also present in random forest and boosting algorithms. And you still engineer features in deep learning. Like cropping area in one of the best image recognition algorithms in 2017 $\endgroup$ – keiv.fly Oct 11 '18 at 22:45 $\begingroup$ This isn't a thorough answer, but there is a lot of truth in thinking of a neural network as layers of feature extraction that get passed to a generalized linear model. $\endgroup$ – Dave Jun 16 at 15:28 Add a comment | Your Answer Thanks for contributing an answer to Data Science Stack Exchange!

Parkhill on Fiction in the DDC DDC people Alex Kyrios Senior Editor Caroline Saccucci Chief, U.S. Programs, Law and Literature Division (USPRLL), Library of Congress Sandi Jones Product Manager « February 2014 | Main | April 2014 » 31 March 2014 Good news, bad news: Julianne Beall retiring First, the bad news: Readers of the Dewey blog the world over will understand how much we hate to make the following announcement: Julianne Beall is retiring from her position as an assistant editor of the Dewey Decimal Classification; today is her last day. Juli has served as an assistant editor of the DDC since 1986. If my mental calculator does not fail me, that's 28 years and 4 editions (Editions 20–23: full + abridged + corresponding separates; Juli’s editorial work actually started with the 004–006 separate associated with Edition 19). During that time Juli has worked on the classification in many areas, including Tables 3, 4, 5, and 6; the 000s, 100s, 200s, 400s, and 800s; 330, 340, 610, and 650-680; she has also worked on parts of 360, 380, 640, and 740. (OK—so it would have been easier to list the areas she hasn't worked in.) For the 9 years before being named an assistant editor, Juli worked as a classifier in the Decimal Classification Division (now Dewey Program) at the Library of Congress—excellent preparation for her editorial work. When I asked Juli some years ago which aspect of her work she liked the best, she noted that she liked it all, but that her favorite work involved DDC translations (and translators). She has worked closely with the Arabic, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Spanish, Swedish, and Vietnamese translations. The Vietnamese translation is not only the last in that list alphabetically, but also the last in the list chronologically. Juli has also been instrumental in shaping the development of all of the electronic versions of the DDC: Electronic Dewey, Dewey for Windows, and WebDewey, now in its second incarnation. For example, with WebDewey 2.0, she has been a tireless tester of the number-building tool and has often contributed posts in this blog with screenshots showing how to build complex built numbers, most recently her post on Crimean Tatars. (And while on the subject of the Dewey blog, Juli has been our most consistent blogger.) Many of you know Juli from her engagement with you at various meetings and workshops-- conferences of the American Library Association (ALA) and Special Libraries Association (SLA) here in the United States, meetings of the European Dewey Users Group in (duh!) Europe, and IFLA conferences around the world. She has given countless presentations at Dewey breakfasts at ALA and (initially) Dewey Translators Meetings / (now) International Dewey Users Meetings at IFLA. But now the good news: Juli is coming back to us, starting tomorrow, on a half-time basis. We have already been forewarned that we will lose her to month(s)-long forays abroad with her husband, but we are so relieved to know she isn’t just walking out the door. We know you join us in offering Juli our warmest wishes on her retirement and our thanks for the many significant contributions she has made to the DDC over the span of an extraordinary career. Congratulations, Juli! Posted by Rebecca at 10:34 AM in DDC in history | Permalink | Comments (0) | TrackBack (0) Tweet This! 19 March 2014 Organizing by Color or Title vs. by Subject We love it, of course, when the DDC gets a shout-out—particularly when reference to it reflects how widely known it is and even more so when someone recognizes its usefulness. Such is the case in Nate Silver’s blog posting, "What the Fox Knows." The shout-out to Dewey comes after Silver notes that the way he organizes the collection of ca. 500 books in his office—by color!—isn’t scalable: But what if instead of having 500 books, I had 50,000, or 50 million? At that point, I’d need a more rigorous approach toward classifying the books — alphabetical order, or the Dewey decimal system, or whatever else. Otherwise, I might spend hours trying to find my copy of "What It Takes." The DDC is right up there with alphabetic order, which is pretty heady stuff. But come to think about it—and we’re sure Silver would have said so if he had thought about it—Dewey is better than alphabetic order in a large number of contexts. While alphabetic order is great for finding the single volume whose title you know (and remember accurately), it doesn’t help you find related works; their titles are likely to be scattered across the alphabet. Author/title alphabetic order is only a little better. But look up the title in a catalog, find its Dewey number, and that number will find related works. Or, if you don’t know any title on the subject of interest, search in the catalog for title keywords or subject headings, find a relevant title, then use its Dewey number to find related works. Or look up the subject in the Relative Index (and verify its relevance in the schedules), and you are way ahead of what alphabetic order can do for you. In a collection of 50 million, there are likely to be works in more than one language, and you may wish to share them with people who have different mother tongues; Dewey numbers are good at crossing linguistic boundaries, especially since the Relative Index and schedules have been translated into many languages. For the record, the Dewey number for What it takes: the way to the White House is 324.9730927 Elections -- United States -- 1981–1989. Searching on that number in WorldCat retrieves 249 records. Limiting the search to those on the 1988 election, which is the focus of What it takes, retrieves 102 records, including, for example, Whose broad stripes and bright stars?: the trivial pursuit of the presidency, 1988, which might not be so very far away in an alphabetically-organized collection (depending on its size), and Almanac of 1988 presidential politics : a political junkie's handbook of the 1988 campaign year--the candidates, campaigns, polls, schedules, dollars, debates, advertising, and chronology--the best, the worst, the laughs, the gaffes, which would be far distant. The number 324.9730927 is built using the add instructions at 324.91–324.99 Geographic treatment of elections, which tell us to "add to base number 324.9 notation 1–9 from Table 2 . . .; then to the result add historical period numbers from appropriate subdivisions of 930–990 . . . . In all cases use one 0 except 00 for North America and South America." Therefore to 324.9, we add notation T2—73 United States, plus 0 (the exception for North and South America does not apply to individual countries within North and South America), plus notation 927 from 973.927 Administration of Ronald Reagan, 1981–1989.

The UNPO (Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization) site has information about Crimean Tatars. An example of a history book about the Crimean Tatars is Beyond Memory: The Crimean Tatars' Deportation and Return. The book is classed in 947.7100494388 Crimean Tatars in Crimea. How was that number built? At 930-990 History of specific continents, countries, localities; extraterrestrial worlds is the main add note for building history numbers: "Add to base number 9 notation T2--3-T2--9 from Table 2, e.g., general history of Europe 940, of England 942, of Norfolk, England 942.61; then add further . . . . " Notation from Table 2 for Crimea is T2—4771 Crimea province (Krymskai͡a oblastʹ). In the add table under 930-990 at notation 0041-0049 Specific ethnic and national groups is the add note: "Add to 004 notation T5--1-T5--9 from Table 5, e.g., history and civilization of North American native peoples in New York 974.700497." Notation from Table 5 for Crimean Tatars is T5—94388 Crimean Tatars. See also earlier blog post about building numbers for history of Ukraine. A work that emphasizes the interaction of nationalism and migration in shaping group identity is The Crimean Tatars: The Diaspora Experience and the Forging of a Nation. It is classed in the number for social aspects of Crimean Tatars as an ethnic group: 305.894388 Crimean Tatars—social aspects. How was the number built? At 305.81-305.89 Specific ethnic and national groups is the add note: "Add to base number 305.8 notation T5--1-T5--9 from Table 5, e.g., comprehensive works on Jews 305.8924, Chinese 305.8951, Chinese Australians 305.8951094, Inuit 305.89712." Hence the number was built with base number 305.8 plus notation T5—94388 Crimean Tatars. The instruction at the start of Table 5 about adding zero plus area notation was not followed because the diaspora is widespread.

With the latest additions of manuscripts from the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, the collection has surpassed the milestone of 10,000 digital items. The reason we take special note of the WDL—that is, besides how cool it is!— is that DDC is part of the WDL metadata. Every item is assigned at least one three-digit Dewey number, and while the numbers are hidden, the captions from the Dewey summaries appear as topics—in seven languages. For details, see this presentation.

Some general history numbers for Ukraine from 1855 to present can be found already built in WebDewey: 947.708 Ukraine--1855- 947.7084 Ukraine--1917-1953 947.7085 Ukraine--1953-1991 947.7086 Ukraine--1991- How were these numbers built? The basic number for history of Ukraine has two add footnotes: 947.7 *†Ukraine *Add as instructed under 930-990 †Add historical periods as instructed under 947.5-947.9 At 930-990 History of specific continents, countries, localities; extraterrestrial worlds is the basic instruction for building history numbers: "Add to base number 9 notation T2--3-T2--9 from Table 2, e.g., general history of Europe 940, of England 942, of Norfolk, England 942.61; then add further . . . . " Notation from Table 2 for Ukraine is T2—477 Ukraine. Notation for historical periods is added according to the instructions at 947.5-947.9 European countries of former Soviet Union other than Russia; Caucasus area of Russia: "Except for modifications shown under specific entries, add to each subdivision identified by † as follows. . . . " What follows is a detailed history period table, including, e.g., 0841 1917-1940. Hence the number 947.70841 Ukraine—1917-1940 can be built (base number 9 plus T2—477 as instructed at 930-990 plus 0841 1917-1940 as instructed at 947.5-947.9). An example of a work classed in 947.70841 Ukraine—1917-1940 is The Holodomor Reader: A Sourcebook on the Famine of 1932-1933 in Ukraine. An example of a work classed in 947.70854 Ukraine--Periods of I͡U. V. Andropov, K. U. Chernenko, and Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev, 1982-1991 is Ukraine: Perestroika to Independence. The number was built with base number 9 plus T2—477 as instructed at 930-990 plus 0854 as instructed at 947.5-947.9.947.5-947.9. Examples of works classed in 947.7086 Ukraine--1991- are Ukraine on its Meandering Path between East and West and Ukraine's Orange Revolution.

Trend Analysis Chart Patterns Wave Analysis elliottwaveprojection elliottwavecorrection elliottwaveforecasts LONG long-term longtrade wticrudeoil 253 views 4 2 trendanalysis chartpattern waveanalysis elliottwaveprojection elliottwavecorrection elliottwaveforecasts long long-term longtrade wticrudeoil Hello, looking for a longtrade? WTI is good looking at the moment: seems to be a perfect entry-point for a longtrade with target about 88 USD. In my opinion now there‘s an ideal 1-2 Elliott-Wave-Setup on the WTI-Chart with a double low. This indicates that wave 2 (blue in brackets) is already completed. WTI most likely is in an intact upward trend in the middle of wave 3 of a higher wave level (purple in brackets, as shown in the charts above and beleow): Take care, tgo Trade ist aktiv: Hello, seems that WTI is sticking to the plan, but be aware of an abc-correction possibility as shown on the chart below. Maybe WTI is going down to the blue trendline to end wave 2. So Stopps should set below the green box. Now we have to wait until WTI shows us if wave 2 has ended already. Updates follow. Take care, tgo Trade ist aktiv: Hi, now I guess WTI will complete Wave 2 (blue in Brackets) at about 66 USD. That's why I decide to wait with additional orders. Moreover, I have set my stop from 62,95 USD to 64,70 USD (entry: 64,25 USD). That does not chance anything about my opinion that WTI is in an intact uptrend. Here we see my idea of completing wave 2 - a abc-correction pattern: Trade ist aktiv: As expected WTI went down deeper in my green tradingbox and now I think we will see a turn into wave (iii) to new highs. I have already placed another longorder at 66,53 USD. Take care, tgo Trade ist aktiv: Hello, in WTI everything is going as planned! WTI has made a perfect turn in my green trading box (even in the yellow detail trading box). Update Long 1. Entry: 64.25$ 1. Stop: 62.95$ TP: 74,43$ (profit: 10.18$) 2. Stop: 64.70$ Stopped out (at 64.70$ / profit: 0.45$) 2. Entry: 66.53$ 1. Stop: 62.95$ 2. Stop: 64.40$ How does it continue? I think WTI will now establish a stable uptrend, so it’s possible that I will place another trading box soon for another long order. But this I will decide later on when we can clearly see how stable/impulsive the wave structure is. For now, I assume that WTI will go up to 80$ or even 88$ to 90$. So, there’s a lot of money to make! Take care, tgo Trade ist aktiv: Hello everyone, the last good chance to get in, I think... Please keep in mind: it's possible that wave ii is not completed yet (40% chance). There is space on the downside as you can see in the Chart (blue trading box).

Open Search Islam and its pagan roots Warning: the article contains high volume of truth and blasphemy. Risk of your bubble of illusion popping. Islam is considered to be a monotheistic religion, so pure and divine, which has guided mankind to perfection through Muhammad and his kin (for Shias), Quran and natural signs. Allah, the omnipotent and omnipresent entity, has taught mankind of divine purity and rightousness. Islam is believed to be the ultimate universal version of a premordial faith that was revealed many times before through Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Noah. Now, let’s talk about this. Before emergence of Islam, religions of Arabia included polytheism, Christianity, Judaism and Zoroasterianism. Having polytheism as their dominant religion, people used to go to shrines to worship their 360 gods. One of these shrines was Kaaba. A cube in the middle of Mecca, believed to have been built by Abraham. Kaaba was the main shrine of worship which included 5 high gods. Hubal, Al-Lat, Al-Uza, Mannat which all were represented by idols, and Al-Lah which was not represented by any idol. Kaaba was in control of Quraysh, one of the wealthiest tribes of Mecca. People from all over Arabia used to go Mecca to worship the gods and offer gifts in the ceremoniam Hajj, making it the most lucrative business in barren Mecca. So up to here, we can see that pre-Islamic Arabia and post-Islamic Arabia are not much different in terms of Al-Lah or Allah, Kaaba and Hajj. During the holy month of Ramadan (holy for pre-Islamic polytheists), people used to find solitude and pray to purge their souls, just like holy month of Ramadan now for Muslims. In 610 CE, polytheistic Muhammad who was more leaned towards worshiping Al-Lah as the prime god, had an epiphany and started reciting words. Muhammad had long worried about the situation of Arabia where tribes fought eachother over their differences and how outsiders inlcuding Jews, Christians and Persians had been considered as more civilized and sophisticated over their monotheistic beliefs. Believing the words he recited could save Arabia, he kept quiet for two years and shared the new words with his wife and cousin who all believed the words were revelations from Al-Lah. After two years, when he started preaching, poors who were fed up with Quraysh and other wealthy tribes’ dominance over the wealth and economy sided with him, believing that Al-Lah, the one all-powerful god, who didn’t have an idol in Kaaba and was more sophisticated than the idols, can save them. Muhammad did not intend to invent a new religion, he was just bringing back the old faith in the one God. He did not need to teach people anything new. People had already believed that Al-Lah had created the world and there was a Judgment day and an afterlife of heaven and hell. He did not invent any new rituals or beliefs. He basically mould it out of paganism by saying that only Allah is the true god to unify the people of Arabia. Hajj, Namaaz, Ramadan, Allah, Judgement Day, and all other things had already existed before Islam. Lastly, Muhammad was a genius. Although schizophrenic, he was a smart businessman and a leader. He unified the Arabia, asserted his dominance and made a lucrative business. The whole Kaaba business was now under the control of Muhammad. I will write more thoroughly about this in another article. To conclude, Islam is a pagan religion, so are Christianity and Judaism. They are all ideologies created by humans.

I am wondering where you got this information from, and is it widely known among Muslims? Although we have no direct proof that I know of, christianity, and even the hebrew faith started out as polythistic movements before they were turned into monotheisms. We do know for sure christianity absorbed other religions wherever they encountered them. Therefore it is little surprise that Mohammed took the older gods and changed them to suit his purpose. Religion itself is ghe oldest story in the history of humanity. It would be nice to hear that story beginning to end. Meanwhile we can only theorize, but one theory is clear, all gods were man-made. The only people who do not know thst are those who have faith that their religion was handed down to people from the gods.

Now, in pre-Islamic Arabia the Kaba housed idols. However, this was modified and changed with the arrival of Islam as it was cleansed of idols. If you have noticed that in Istanbul there are mosques that were originally churches, vice versa. For your information, Al-Lat is not Allah. The meaning of Al-lat in Arabic is the mother goddess whereas ‘Al-Lah’ means ‘The God.” The Arabic word اللّٰه is the same backwards and forwards, the word ‘God’ means something else backwards. Let’s not go backwards 🙂 LikeLike Reply Maz Bozorgi says: February 4, 2019 at 10:55 am According to historians ال لة was the monotheistic god worshipped by Muhammad before Islam. I don’t understand what you mean by الله being the same backwards and forwards. Isn’t is هللا backwards? And I agree let’s not go backwards. Unfortunately, believing in imaginary deities created thousands of years ago has kept us going backwards LikeLike Reply Jbreeze.🌷 says: February 4, 2019 at 6:55 pm Al lat means mother Goddess which is different to Allah. And they were more like physical deities worshipped by tribes. They surrounded the Kabah which was a sanctuary before it has reconstructed. LikeLike Jbreeze.🌷 says: February 4, 2019 at 7:00 pm In layman’s terms, backwards is worshipping physical deities. Afterwards Islam came to enlighten the people who believed in fortune tellers and man made objects. As Malcolm X has shown, Islam taught equality of the races and equality between men and women. It all depends on which eye you interpret with. LikeLike Reply Maz Bozorgi says: February 6, 2019 at 2:19 pm Al Lat wasn’t really a physical deity, she was a more dominant goddess, metamorphosising from physical to an omnipresent non-physical body which the result is Allah. Howeverz Muhammad changed her from a female deity to a male deity and shifted the dominance from mother figures to ruthless dominant alpha males. This helped Arabs conquer Persia, north Africa and even some parts of Europe as they still had mother-like figures as godess.This of course brought a male dominant culture upon the Islamic world along side other male dominant Abrahamic religions. Later، Persians added some mother figures to Islam just as Christians did. Anyway, I don’t see a difference between physical or non physical deities at all, They are all man-made to me and thus myths, and unfortunately I don’t know much about Malcolm X, so I can’t comment on him. I will surely study and read his teachings.

BREAKING: FBI Says It’s Unlikely Charges Will Be Filed Against Hillary Clinton In Email Matter | Deep Left Field Deep Left Field Menu Skip to content Home Privacy Policy BREAKING: FBI Says It’s Unlikely Charges Will Be Filed Against Hillary Clinton In Email Matter Posted on June 14, 2016 by Andrew Bradford After months of controversy and investigation by both Congressional committees and the FBI, it now appears clear that the matter of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while at the State Department will soon be put behind her. According to FBI investigators who are working on the Clinton case: “The FBI has not yet interviewed Clinton as part of its investigation. As CNN first reported, investigators have not found evidence to support criminal charges against Clinton and none are expected, but no final determination will be made until that interview has taken place.” Just last week, it was reported that some of the emails sent by Clinton involved the drone program used against terrorists across the globe. But the same FBI source noted: “The CIA drone program is covert and considered classified, so while it is widely discussed in public and in media reports, any discussion of the program on a non-classified system is a violation of government rules. For this reason, the CIA insisted that the emails on the subject be retroactively classified. “Discussion of classified matters on government non-classified email systems is a perennial problem that occurs widely in the government, but damage is typically contained because violators use government email systems. What is not common is a cabinet-level official using a personal server to conduct all official business, outside the protection of government email servers.” But the bottom line is this: While the use of the server may not have been exactly what the State Department would have wanted, no laws were broken and the continued talk from both Donald Trump and some of the Bernie or Bust crowd that Clinton will soon be indicted now seems to have been nothing but speculation mixed with conspiracy theories.

While E was at the hospital this week they gave him the usual questionnaire to fill out.. Are you depressed? Are you stressed? etc. He just says no to everything.. He never has had any stress or depression, impending heart transplant or not.. The guy never worries. Back to the island. Back to work. E headed up to the water tanks to clean out the smaller one.. He has made a vacuum contraption out of old copper piping attached to a garden hose. The tank was filthy… It isn’t now. All three tanks are open with the potential of 4000 gallons of water on the top of the hill. We are currently sitting at about 800. Last week we were at zero. We are now pumping 15 minutes, once per hour.. Won’t take too long to get the tanks filled and we can put this nasty business of dirty well water behind us… I went to work in the greenhouse (such as it is). Time to get the vegie seeds started and try to have some sort of decent garden produce this summer. We will put last summer behind us.. I planted a lot of tomatoes seeds.. 8 X Roma Paste, 18 X Alisa Craig, 8 X Ruths Perfect Medium, 10 X Saltspring Sunrise Medium, 8 X Cosmonaut Volkov, and 8 X Pollocks Medium Five Cinderella pumpkin and some basil. The peas are sitting between a damp cloth in the kitchen til they are sprouted. (otherwise the voles get them).. The garden is still pretty messy but I don’t have a lot else on my plate right now so I should be able to get things tidied up pretty quick. E has just about finished installing a solar panel upgrade to our neighbours house and fixing all of our urgent system problems.. I’m hoping, if I ask nicely, I can get a couple of days work out of him at the greenhouse. Won’t take much to have it finished. There is a lot to do down at the house but we are taking a bit of time getting caught up on all of the chores that were neglected last year. We are in no rush. As we were pulling out of the marina this week, I asked him if he needed me to roll up the plastic canvass so he could see out the back of the boat we were borrowing while ours was fixed.. His response… “Don’t bother.. Doesn’t matter what is behind us.. Just need to look ahead” Pretty much sums up his whole attitude on life Share this: Tweet More Share on Tumblr Like this: Like Loading...

Happy spring! LikeLike Reply Margy March 17, 2018 at 7:43 PM Positive attitude is everything. Got a question for you about voles. I have something out in my float garden. The only way to get there would be running down the bridge from shore, across a transition float and jump a few inches over a water gap when the garden is pulled in during daylight hours. Would a vole do something like that? My other choice is a mouse, but I have put two snap traps and a poison trap on the surface, but nothing has come up to try any of them. Yet my carrots and beets have been eaten from the bottom up and there are hollow areas under the surface near the plants they have eaten. What does that sound like to you? – Margy LikeLike Reply Off Grid Islanders March 17, 2018 at 7:50 PM sounds like voles…. little bigger than a mouse…tend to eat my beets from ground up and go after my tomato roots….I live trap them with peanut butter….good luck 😉 LikeLike Reply Margy March 17, 2018 at 8:08 PM Do you have to set your traps underground or does on the surface work? I have a mouse live trap that I could use. – Margy LikeLike Off Grid Islanders March 17, 2018 at 8:10 PM Just at the base of the tomatoes on the ground… sadly sometimes I catch three a night in the peak of tomato season… LikeLike Margy March 17, 2018 at 8:21 PM I’ll give it a try. If I can get them off the floating garden I should be good for the summer growing season. I don’t leave it in at night to prevent critters from getting on-board. Who knows how this one did. But it did. All the carrots and beets are out of the ground so they may be coming up more often to find surface things to eat. – Margy LikeLike Off Grid Islanders March 17, 2018 at 8:22 PM I can’t picture how you do it…..a floating garden???

The officer, off-watch at the time, spotted a suspect breaking into a parked car. The officer approached and confronted the suspect, only to be aggressively greeted with a machete, and a second suspect holding a pistol. The pair struck and robbed the unarmed officer, taking his wallet, and driving off in his personal vehicle! The officer was not seriously injured. Neither suspect has been arrested. Lessons: 1) Don’t go looking for trouble, not expecting to find it! 2) As an LEO, you may be “off-watch,” but you’re never “off-duty!” 3) Go armed! Violent crime in NYC, and other liberal-controlled metro areas, is out of control and getting worse, by the day. Marxists/liberals thrive on chaos, squalor, and widespread criminal violence. This is exactly the way they want it! It won’t get better. Help is not on the way! 4) Be alert, aware, and in the moment! Fighting is always in the present tense, as Frank Sharpe has taught us. Heads-up; eyeballs-out; always! 5) Violent death is never more than seconds away. Neither peril, nor opportunity, make appointments! 6) The naive, careless, unprepared, unarmed, and inattentive will continue to die for stupid reasons. Don’t be

When the Soviet Union, for a multitude of reasons, decided not to pursue the Space Race with the US following an acceleration of our NASA program; when Glasnost and treaties between the two superpowers became the norm; when Yeltsin and Gorbachev approached the West with smiles and friendly handshakes and waves, a bolstered it with compliments directed towards our country and our leaders at the time, little did it dawn on Americans that the ultimate takeover of the United States had begun. Surreptitiously, Russia became our friend; yes, a friend of whom we were wary, but a powerful entrancing friend at that. We lowered our defenses, both real and intellectual, and allowed them to penetrate our society down to our very beings, and that included, but was not limited to by any means, our media, our social media, and alas! our voting machines. They installed a stooge, a deep-cover agent whom they had been preparing for years - and do not think for a minute that he's the only one they engaged - and they have been systematically disassembling our country brick by brick in all terms: economic, social, racial, religious, and attitudinal. We have fallen a great deal since 1980, and we generally hadn't considered that the so-called hawks: Reagan, Bush. Sr., and their ilk would have been the patsies who opened the door for the insidious attack. It was a form of political jiu-jitsu: they didn't enlist the liberals, they enlisted the conservatives: the joke is on the Right Wing of course. And thus on us as well... Like a movie version, Putin is the ultimate villain: we all knew his origins, he made no attempt to politically alter his stance of hatred of the West, he is brilliant and charming in his own right, and everyone played along, either because they were paid off, politically and/or socially blackmailed, or just went along with the "inevitable". The perpetrator of the crime of all crimes was hiding in plain sight: the 21st Century version of Poe's The Purloined Letter. And so you see: the terrorists won after 9/11 inasmuch as we instilled in the population the notion that they required dictatorial-style vigilance by the State, and the Russians won the Cold War by going underground and removing the foundations of our nation.

To answer three obvious questions before I begin: yes I have a contract for up to eight years to practice in my former office, yes I got my price which was substantial, and yes I’m very happy and by any measure, an excellent, devoted employee. All that being said, I want to express the reasons I sold my life’s work. First, I’m 66 years old and you can make a case that the practice is at its peak value. Second, the technology of modern dentistry requires a huge investment which in no way could I afford and it is unfair for my loyal patient population to not have access to the best care possible. We are talking perhaps $300,000 in investment which for me would have been catastrophic economically because the combination of diminished returns due to insurance reimbursement and rapid depreciation of such assets would essentially bankrupt my retirement. Third, as a dentist you never know when you’ll have a career-ending injury or condition/disease. Back issues, neurological issues, cardiac issues, and of course cancer (which is very prevalent in the dental population educated in my era - due in no small part to massive exposure to horrifyingly dangerous chemicals utilized in those days, not a danger to patients but definitely to practitioners/students). Fourthly, and possibly most importantly, we are headed to a recession through which I would not survive economically. Many years ago in Aphilly there was a bookstore chain called Encore Books. The owner is and was a very shrewd and sharp guy. The day Amazon announced that it would be selling books online, he put his business up for sale and I believe that Rite Aid purchased it for millions. It failed in the short run. The point is you have to know when to get out. If this bastard in the White House does what I think he’s going to do , we are in for a rough ride. I’ve managed through several recessions, the last one nearly (literally) killed me. I wasn’t going to go through it again. No way no how I’ve been here at DU for over fifteen years and consider it like my family but better. I look forward to many more years communing with all of you and fighting the good fight. I would suggest that we temper our angers manifest during the primaries and focus upon the singular goal of defeating the malignantly narcissistic sociopath and his minions. Good luck to us all and good luck to The United States of America. Posted by PCIntern | Tue Aug 20, 2019, 07:33 AM (106 replies) Omg. I awakened this morning thinking of an old MAD magazine parody from my youth: Give me your tired, your poor Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free The wretched refuse from your teeming shore And I’ll send ‘em right back Send ‘em right back to you! Your huddled masses Your wretched refuse! I’ll send them right back to you! I think it was a Goldwater parody or maybe Agnew. Hair Furor or his deputy dog Miller must have internalized it a long time ago.

Lighting plays an important role in creating a healthy and safe home environment, and per Lighting Research Center, the overall goal for home lighting is that it’s “comfortable, easily controlled and energy efficient.” Also, you want your home lighting to be visually appealing, practical, and to reflect and support your lifestyle. Since lighting technology is continuously evolving, there are more lighting options than ever before, from the efficiency and levels of longevity of a light bulb to the design of the fixtures and built-in lighting. Here are some tips and ideas to explore when considering home renovation lighting options to make your space brighter and more appealing: To start, think about questions like these: What do you wish to see and highlight in each room? What types of lighting do you prefer, and which ones do you definitely not want to see in your home? A good lighting plan and concept for your home includes creating three layers of lighting – ambient, task and accent. Each type will meet a particular need, as one type of lighting cannot do it all. Ambient or general lighting is intended to create a uniform light level throughout the room. Typically, when you step into a room and turn on a switch, ambient lighting will provide overall illumination of the space, and you can have it in many forms, including: ceiling-mounted or recessed fixtures directing light downwards; wall sconces or floor-lamp torchieres; cove, soffit and valance lighting bouncing light off ceilings and walls. Task lighting or targeted lighting will illuminate a specific area of a room, such as kitchen counter where food is prepared (with under-cabinet lighting); living room seating areas for reading (with a table lamp); home office desk surface (with a desk lamp), etc. Accent lighting or highlighting is intended to draw attention to a particular object, such as a painting, sculpture, plant or bookcase, often using recessed or track lighting with adjustable fittings; this will allow light to illuminate even a small object. When thinking about layering the light in any room, the first one to consider is typically the ambient lighting, then task and accent lighting – moving from general to specific. The most important thing to think about is how you use a space, and what you do in specific rooms. If a room is heavily task-oriented, such as home offices, the focus may be on task lighting first; if your hallway or your sitting room display a lot of photos or art, the first focus may be the accent lighting. As far as fixtures, there’s one for every need and style in your home – from integrated architectural solutions that require contractors and tradesmen, to decorative lamps that you can simply place on a table or floor and plug in to the nearest outlet. Architectural lighting is most often used as ambient lighting, and comes in three common types: cove, soffit and valance. All three are integrated into the structure of the room. Cove lighting is located in a ledge, shelf or recess on a wall, the light bouncing toward the ceiling or upper wall; soffit lighting is located in a soffit or cornice near the ceiling, the light radiating downward; valance lighting is located in a wood, metal or glass valance mounted above a window or high on the wall, the light bouncing both upward and downward. The technique of bouncing light off walls and ceilings, known as indirect lighting, is favored by many lighting professionals, since it minimizes shadows and glare. Recessed lighting is installed above the ceiling, in an opening that is flush with the ceiling. It requires at least 6 inches of clearance above the ceiling, as well as insulation to ensure that condensation does not drip into the fixture. Recessed lighting can be used to provide ambient, task or accent lighting. Track lighting is mounted or suspended from the ceiling; it consists of a linear housing with numerous heads with adjustable direction, and is often used for task or accent lighting. Pendant lights are suspended from the ceiling, typically over a table or kitchen island and direct their light down. Pendants can provide ambient or task lighting and can enhance the decorative style of your room. Finally, consider replacing an on-off switch with a dimmer – a relatively easy change that will provide not only energy efficiency, but will also create a totally different mood. As far as the type of light source – make sure you choose LED lights. They are less costly than they used to be, they offer that warm light that people love in incandescent bulbs, and they have a longer life.

At Dental Art Studio, you will also find a wide range of aesthetic offers including ceramic-on-metal and all-ceramic crowns, traditional ceramic veneers and non-prep veneers, which do not require any grinding of tooth tissues. Our aesthetic treatments are always preceded by a visualization of work on models – or so-called “Wax-up” to reduce or minimize repairs, which is especially important for our many foreign clients. Particular attention at Dental Art Studio is devoted to patients who suffer from bruxism(excessive teeth grinding or jaw clenching), as well as reduced clamping height or temporomandibular joint disease (where jaw attachment has deteriorated affecting “bite”) and we offer the finest methods—surgical and non-surgical—to fix these problems. Dental Art Studio, using the latest technology, can quickly and cost-effectively diagnose dental needs using the Swiss system produced by Amann Girrbach(face arch and articulator), and “Centrofix” system that even takes into account edentulous (missing) teeth. This is the most cost-effective method for treatment planning, as it allows our professionals to avoid or minimize unnecessary mistakes and repairs, which can be especially important in reducing the cost and reworks often associated with implants. Dental Art Studio has invested heavily in the latest technology available to help us “get it right the first time.” Dental Art Studio Dental Art Studio is a congenial practice of long-time associates less than 3 miles from Chopin International Airport, making us a convenient stop for medical tourists seeking top-quality dental care at an affordable price. All who value high quality services and professional treatment— using the latest in modern technology—are welcome! Our goal is long-term, professional care, over the smile of each patient!

Have you ever developed an Alexa skill that uses account linking? Do you remember the first time you tried to click on the “Link Account” button and feared for the result? I bet you first saw the dreadful error message: “Unable to Link your skill”. Sometimes trying to figure out what an error is, is like searching for a needle in a haystack. You have no clue. Most of the errors that I have seen when working with developers, fall in two categories: Error of configuration inside the Alexa developer console. These are the easy ones to catch. We just need to compare the configuration with a working one, such as the one described in this blog post. Errors at the OAuth Server level. These most often happen when you are developing your own OAuth server and it is not fully compliant with OAuth 2.0 specifications. When you have access to the OAuth server logs, debugging the error message you see in the Alexa App is relatively easy. You just enable full HTTP trace on the server side and search for the error or the misconfiguration on the server. Full HTTP trace includes the full HTTP headers, query string and body passed by the Alexa service to your server. With a bit of experience, catching an OAuth error in HTTP stack trace takes only a few minutes. The problem is that most developers we are working with, have no access to the OAuth servers or the server logs. Either they are using a third party OAuth server (Login With Amazon, Login With Facebook, Login with Google and the likes), or they are working in a large enterprises where another team is operating the OAuth server. Meeting that team and asking them to change logging level or to request access to the logs can take weeks, or may not be possible at all. This article explains how to setup an HTTP proxy between Alexa Skill Service and your OAuth server to capture all HTTP traffic and log it. By analyzing the logs, you can inspect the HTTP URLs, query strings, headers and full bodies exchanged. Setting such a proxy requires infrastructure to host the proxy: a networked server, with a runtime to deploy your code etc … this is unnecessary heavy lifting where Amazon Web Services can help. We will use Amazon API Gateway instead and will configure it to act as an HTTP Proxy, sitting between Amazon’s Alexa Skill Service and your OAuth server. Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed service that makes it easy for developers to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale. With a few clicks in the AWS Management Console, you can create an API that acts as a “front door” for applications to access data, business logic, or functionality from your back-end services. API Gateway HTTP Proxy Integration mode is a new feature of API Gateway that was launched on Sept. 20th 2016. You can read the post by AWS Director of Evangelism, Jeff Bar’s, if you want to learn more about this. The diagram below shows where API Gateway, with HTTP Proxy Integration, fits in the OAuth Architecture. High level steps to create such a configuration are: [Read More] Permalink | Share Alexa Account Linking: 5 Steps to Seamlessly Link Your Alexa Skill to User Systems That Require Authentication August 03, 2016 Sebastien Stormacq ASK Alexa Tips and Tutorials Discover how to use account linking with Login with Amazon to seamlessly integrate your Alexa skills with third-party application.

I have been up at the cottage for the last four day and now I am heading home. I leave you with this family portrait… The little one was off on another part of the lake while mom and dad went fishing. There were two baby loons but one disappeared, according to the lake association website, “a bald eagle and osprey were viewed circling the lake” around the time of the chicks disappearance. Last year's loon census found a total of 492 adults, 17 immature loons and 73 chicks in New Hampshire. Then we have this very, very big bird on the lake... It lives down the other end of the lake in a cove and you can hear its mighty roar all the way up this end.

Advocates launch campaign to bar workplace discrimination against gays Washington Post By Juliet Eilperin July 30, 2013 A coalition of civil rights groups is launching a $2 million campaign aimed at mobilizing support for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which has languished on Capitol Hill for nearly two decades. The coalition, called Americans for Workplace Opportunity, is targeting 13 senators in 11 states in hopes of replicating the strategy gay marriage advocates have used to push successful state ballot initiatives. The effort includes gay rights groups such as the Human Rights Campaign and the GOP-leaning American Unity Fund, as well as the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and the Service Employees International Union. The coalition is headed by Matthew McTighe who lead Maine’s marriage equality campaign and that is what worries me, that once again we will be tossed aside in order to get the bill passed. The coalition is heavily weighted with gay and lesbian marriage equality organization with only the National Center for Transgender Equality representing the trans-community. I think the conservative opposition said it best, Within the gay movement, Lafferty [Traditional Values Coalition President] argued, transgender people “are kind of like the crazy aunt at Thanksgiving. They put up with the crazy aunt at Thanksgiving, but they don’t want to be seen with her in public.” Will we find a new set of tire tracks when ENDA comes up for a vote?

Posted by Diana_CT at 10:21 PM No comments: Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest Labels: about me, memes Are We Blessed? To continue today’s theme on religious, there was an opinion yesterday in the Bangor Daily News Rev. Marvin M. Ellison asking are trans-people blessed. Thank God for transgender persons and their families, who exemplify the amazing beauty of the divine creation in all its complexity and rich diversity. It is a blessing to share community with our transgender sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, and fathers and mothers and to work alongside them to assure that each and every person, including each and every transgender person, has what they need and deserve: respect and a secure sense of personal dignity and worth, a fair share of resources, a life without fear, and the freedom to live in the world as one’s authentic self. One thing that we often forget, not all religions have the same beliefs; we tend to lump all Christians together, all Jews together, and all Muslims together. However, in reality all the religions of the world have different sects within each religion with their own unique set of beliefs. Some sects are more tolerant, the Episcopal are more tolerant than Baptist, the Reform Jews are more tolerant than Orthodox Jews ad so on with the other religions. The news media tends to blow religions out of proportion. When I read a the Hartford Courant when the Supreme Court ruled on DOMA the article interviewed LGBT activists and they interviewed an ultra-conservative religious organization; however, nothing was written from more moderate religious organizations. The article creates the us against them attitude, it created the impression that all religions are against LGBT rights. The author in the opinion in the Bangor Daily News goes on to write, As a Christian ethicist, I have often reminded seminarians and myself that it is wise, in the midst of social change, to slow down and avoid “premature clarity,” or what might be called rush to judgment. Before giving any kind of ethical evaluation, we ought to take the time to understand as fully as possible the reality before us, in this instance transgenderism. The best way to gain understanding is to listen to and learn from transgender persons. […] Extending a respectful, hospitable welcome to transgender people and their families is fully in keeping with Jesus’ mandate to love thy neighbor. Standing within the prophetic tradition of his community, Jesus called for a new moral order constructed on the basis of biblical justice or the principle of right relatedness. We hear “nature doesn’t make mistakes” from many conservative religious leaders and I agree because I am not a mistake. I believe that there was a purpose that there are gays, lesbians, bi and trans-people and it is what Rev. Ellison said, “keeping with Jesus’ mandate to love thy neighbor.” If we are all the same there it would be very easy to “love thy neighbor” but with diversity there is discrimination and it takes work to “love thy neighbor.” It takes work to love the black kid with a hoody walking through your neighborhood. It takes work to love a person in a wheelchair and it takes work to love a trans-person.

Is it a new leaf or is it the same ol’ bull? I am not anti-religion, I just don’t believe anyone has a right to tell me who I am or who I can marry. And now two religious leaders have softened their stance against LGBT people, the Pope softened the churches stance on gay priests and Pat Robinson said that being transgender is not a sin. Time had this to say about the pope’s statement, Pope Francis Says He Does Not Judge Gay Priests His comments were short, subtle, but unmistakably direct: “If they accept the Lord and have good will, who am I to judge them? They shouldn’t be marginalized.” By Elizabeth Dias July 29, 2013 Today the Pope stated that he does not judge gays—a statement that will send shockwaves through the church. His comments were short, subtle, but unmistakably direct. “If they accept the Lord and have good will, who am I to judge them? They shouldn’t be marginalized,” he told reporters on his return flight from Rio de Janeiro to Rome. “The tendency [to homosexuality] is not the problem … they’re our brothers.” The Pope also criticized journalists for reporting on allegations of homosexuality within the Vatican, saying those matters concerned questions of sin, not crimes, like the sexual abuse of children. He said when someone sins and confesses, God both forgives and forgets. “We don’t have the right to not forget,” he said. But when you tell someone not of your faith who they can marry and who they can’t you are marginalizing them. I have no problem with you telling people of your faith who they can marry, but I have a very big problem when your priest lobby against marriage equality. Pat Robinson said that he doesn’t condemn trans-people, but he “doesn’t understand that,” Pat Robertson Says Being Transgender Is Not a Sin The televangelist issued an unexpected response to a viewer's question about recognizing transgender coworkers as the gender with which they identify. Advocate BY Sunnivie Brydum July 29 2013 On Sunday's episode of the Christian Broadcasting Network's question and answer forum, "Bring It Online" with televangelist Pat Robertson, the right-wing pundit had some surprising things to say about transgender people. […] "But I think there are men who are in a woman's body," the 83-year-old former Baptist minister continues. "It's very rare, but it's true. Or women that are in men's bodies. And they want a sex change. And that is a very permanent thing, believe me, when you have certain body parts amputated, and you have shot up with various kinds of hormones, it's a radical procedure. I don't think there's any sin associated with that — I don't condemn somebody for doing that." He goes on to say to the person who asked the question, “It's not for you to decide, or to judge," Posted by Diana_CT at 9:30 AM 1 comment: Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest Labels: GLBT Stuff, news, trans stuff Monday, July 29, 2013 One More Time: US DOJ Agreement I wrote about the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Education agreement with the California's Arcadia School District twice before but not about higher education. The blog Inside Higher Education had this to say about the agreement, Equal Access at All Levels July 29, 2013 By Allie Grasgreen Last week's settlement between the U.S. Education Department's Office for Civil Rights and a California school district may have been issued at the K-12 level, but the newly clear message that federal laws prohibit discrimination based on gender identity applies to colleges too, experts say. […] The settlement is also a first in that it deals with access to educational programs, facilities and activities -- which is really what Title IX is all about -- whereas the 2010 letter [the "Dear Colleague" letter] related more to school climate, harassment and bullying. The issue is not hypothetical; colleges report that they are enrolling more transgender students who are requesting various services and policies -- anti-bias rules, access to bathrooms, ability to join athletic teams -- and at some institutions, they haven't been satisfied with the response. The author goes on to say what I said, while this in not a policy like the EEOC policy on employment discrimination it does show is that the Departments of Justice and Education believe that the laws do cover gender identity and expression and that the laws also cover sex-segregated facilities. "It actually is groundbreaking," Erin Buzevis, the law professor at Western New England School of Law who runs the Title IX Blog, said in an e-mail. "By taking one such case, OCR signals its willingness to take similar cases in the future, and there's no reason to think those cases wouldn't also include college students." The actual agreement between the U.S. DOJ & Ed also requires the Arcadia School District to provide training Finally, OCR required the school district to hire a consultant with expertise in child development and transitioning youth to help address these issues and make sure the changes are thorough and lasting. Colleges might want to do something similar, Orr said. Just remember that the Departments of Justice and Education agreement with the Arcadia School District is not a court order but an agreement between two parties and a court could have a different ruling or the next President could put an entirely different Attorney General and Commissioner with their own interpretation of the law.

First the good news about marriage equality in Australia… New South Wales gay marriage report pushing reform in other states A report by a New South Wales state parliamentary committee that found that Australian states can make laws in regard to same-sex marriage may lead to same-sex couples being able to wed in South Australia and in the nation’s capital of Canberra Gay Star News 29 July 2013 By Andrew Potts South Australia may vote again on same-sex marriage, but this time it is likely Opposition MPs will be given a conscience vote on the issue – meaning the bill may pass. Last week South Australian Opposition leader Steven Marshall told The Australian newspaper that he would allow his MPs a conscience vote on the issue if a New South Wales (NSW) state parliamentary inquiry found that states could legislate for same-sex marriage – and on Friday the committee did just that. Now for the bad news… NSW marriage equality bill excludes trans and intersex Gay News Network Author Cec Busby 29 July 2013 A NSW parliamentary report released on Friday saying state-based marriage law was not unconstitutional was cause for celebration amongst the LGBTI community, but when news surfaced that a new marriage equality bill would exclude trans and intersex, LGBTI activist groups were alarmed. That is OK, just another set of tire track over our bodies. The article goes on to state… Community Action Against Homophobia immediately sent out a release condemning the marginalisation of trans and intersex people in the proposed bill. CAAH Co-Convenor Cat Rose said “The exemption of trans and intersex people's rights shows they haven't shifted nearly far enough. Our campaign has been for full equality for everyone, we don't settle for concessions and we won't stand for this transphobia and the invisibilising of intersex people." Um… did CAAH call for the bill to be voted down or pulled? Ah… no, but don’t worry we’ll come back for you.

When the law was passed a couple of years ago public accommodation was dropped from the bill at the last minute, this law will add public accommodation to the law. Legislature to reconsider bill protecting transgender access to public accommodations Boston.Com Posted by Jeremy C. Fox July 8, 2013 Levi [Jennifer Levi, director of the Transgender Rights Project at GLAD] said access to housing is often an issue for transgender people, and finding a safe place to stay is especially important because LGBT young people are disproportionately likely to become homeless. That’s one reason Levi and other transgender advocates hope this will be the year the state Legislature will pass a bill that would protect the access of transgender people to public accommodations, including “hospitals, public transportation, nursing homes, supermarkets, retail establishments, and all other places open to the public.” Of course the opposition were posturizing that it was the “bathroom bill” all over again, Opponents of the bill say it would improperly give men access to women’s private spaces. “We believe in the safety, the privacy, and the modesty of all citizens, and we believe this legislation would violate that,” said Kris Mineau, president of the Woburn-based Massachusetts Family Institute. They always preach doom and gloom of rapists and perverts using the bill as an excuse to use the women’s bathroom. The first gender inclusive anti-discrimination law was passed in 1975 in Minneapolis and since then there has been no cases of anyone using the law to commit a crime. Boston mayor said, In a letter to the chairs of the Judiciary Committee, Mayor Thomas M. Menino said he signed a similar ordinance guaranteeing access within the City of Boston in 2002 and asking them to support the current bill.

A statement of support was read out on behalf of renowned South African singer and UNICEF and Roll Back Malaria Goodwill Ambassador Yvonne Chaka Chaka. “The Universal Declaration of Human Rights promises a world in which everyone is born free and equal in dignity and rights – no exceptions, no-one left behind,” said High Commissioner Pillay. “Yet it’s still a hollow promise for many millions of LGBT people forced to confront hatred, intolerance, violence and discrimination on a daily basis.” The Free & Equal campaign hopes to begin legal reforms and public education to counter homophobia and transphobia. The United Nations Human Rights Council in 2011 voted on a resolution convened a panel to study discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity and expression. The vote cumulated years of progress in Human Rights for LGBT community. Back in 2008 a Dutch/French-initiated, European Union-backed statement presented to the United Nations General Assembly and 66 nations voted in favor of the statement (it is now up to 85 nations). Unfortunately, the United States was not one of the signers because of President Bush. However, President Obama did sign the statement.

We have the honour to make this statement on human rights, sexual orientation and gender identity on behalf of Albania, Andorra, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chile, Colombia, Croatia, Cuba, Guinea-Bissau Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Estonia, Finland, France, Gabon, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Mauritius, Mexico, Montenegro, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Paraguay, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Sao Tome et Principe, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Timor-Leste, United Kingdom, Uruguay and Venezuela. We reaffirm the principle of universality of human rights, as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights whose 60th anniversary is celebrated this year, Article 1 of which proclaims that "all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights"; We reaffirm that everyone is entitled to the enjoyment of human rights without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status, as set out in Article 2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 2 of the International Covenants on Civil and Political, Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, as well as in article 26 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; 1. We reaffirm the principle of non-discrimination which requires that human rights apply equally to every human being regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity; 2. We are deeply concerned by violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms based on sexual orientation or gender identity; 3. We are also disturbed that violence, harassment, discrimination, exclusion, stigmatisation and prejudice are directed against persons in all countries in the world because of sexual orientation or gender identity, and that these practices undermine the integrity and dignity of those subjected to these abuses; 4. We condemn the human rights violations based on sexual orientation or gender identity wherever they occur, in particular the use of the death penalty on this ground, extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, the practice of torture and other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment, arbitrary arrest or detention and deprivation of economic, social and cultural rights, including the right to health; 5. We recall the statement in 2006 before the Human Rights Council by fifty four countries requesting the President of the Council to provide an opportunity, at an appropriate future session of the Council, for discussing these violations; 6. We commend the attention paid to these issues by special procedures of the Human Rights Council and treaty bodies and encourage them to continue to integrate consideration of human rights violations based on sexual orientation or gender identity within their relevant mandates; 7. We welcome the adoption of Resolution AG/RES. 2435 (XXXVIII-O/08) on "Human Rights, Sexual Orientation, and Gender Identity" by the General Assembly of the Organization of American States during its 38th session in 3 June 2008; 8. We call upon all States and relevant international human rights mechanisms to commit to promote and protect human rights of all persons, regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity; 9. We urge States to take all the necessary measures, in particular legislative or administrative, to ensure that sexual orientation or gender identity may under no circumstances be the basis for criminal penalties, in particular executions, arrests or detention. 10. We urge States to ensure that human rights violations based on sexual orientation or gender identity are investigated and perpetrators held accountable and brought to justice; 11. We urge States to ensure adequate protection of human rights defenders, and remove obstacles which prevent them from carrying out their work on issues of human rights and sexual orientation and gender identity.

If you could hold any exotic animal (or have a one-on-one encounter if it’s too big to hold) and you knew there was no danger of being injured, which animal would you choose and why? I’m not really into exotic animals and I don’t even like that you can own an exotic animal. There are so many invasive animals and plants in this country that are not only deadly but forcing out the native species. About 20 years ago we actually have piranha start taking over a local pond and the DEP had to come in a poison the whole pond.

(Hear it here.) 1) The lyrics refer to a baby's "one year of crying." When was the last time you cried ... felt weepy ... or at least teared up? It probably the last emotional movie that I watched. 2) Let's lighten it up a little. When was the last time you laughed really hard? It was when I watched this… 3) Do you have "so much to say" that hasn't been said yet? Tell us if you owe someone a phone call, note, email or text. No, I’m up to date with my calls and phone calls. I almost answer emails immediately, phone call might take a little longer. 4) Earlier this summer, Dave took a bike ride before a show and his tire blew out. He didn't have a cell phone with him and was afraid of missing that night's performance. Fortunately two fans -- driving to see Dave Matthews Band in concert -- recognized him by the side of the road and gave him a ride to the show. Share a recent act of kindness you either did, or received. The last kindness that I received was the same as Dave’s except the flat tire was on my car. I was changing my tire on the side of the road and no one stopped. I had the car jacked up and all the nuts removed but I couldn’t get the tire off the axle. I pulled and pulled and kicked but nothing would loosen up the tire. Finally a car pulled up and a young black man in a hoody and asked if I needed help. He just removed the tire from the axle like it weight a pound. He took out the spare and put in on, put away the flat tire and lowered the car and stored the jack. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 5) Before he hit it big, Dave Matthews was a bartender. What job did you have right before the one you have now? Hmmm… I’m retired, my last job was a supervisor of an electronic test department. 6) The Dave Matthews Band recorded an album live at the Red Rocks Amphitheater, in the mountains near Denver. Is there a trip to the mountains in your future? Yes, tomorrow to New Hampshire 7) Do you suffer from hay fever or allergies? Nope. 8) What's in your pocket right now? Nothing, I have no pockets 9) American Express promotes "Small Business Saturday," and encourages us to shop at local, independent retailers. Is there a shop, boutique or restaurant in your town that you're particularly fond of? Yes, the Blue Lobster. I usually go to dinner there once or twice a month.

Our favorite “fair and balanced” news media outlet Fox News said this about the agreement… DOJ ripped for making transgender restroom use new front in civil rights battle By Michael Roppolo Published July 26, 2013 FoxNews.com The U.S. Department of Justice's latest cause - fighting for a transgendered California ninth-grader's right to use the boy's room at school - has conservative groups wondering just how far Washington will go in the name of civil rights. […] Randy Thomasson, president of SaveCalifornia.com, said Attorney General Eric Holder is off-base in pushing the case as a matter of civil rights. “Eric Holder needs to reread the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and find out that civil rights are based on an unchangeable, immutable characteristic,” Thomasson said. “You cannot change your genes or your gender. You have chromosomes and they are either XX or XY. This is a girl who has been environmentally warped to believe she is a boy, and, instead of coddling this confused child, her parents should have gotten her into counseling with an expert on gender confusion.” There we go again; that chromosomes are only XX or XY and totally ignoring intersex conditions, just a simplistic 1950 view of sex. We'll just use a little reparative therapy and everything will by okay again. Hey maybe just a few jolts of electroconvulsive therapy and it will straighten them right out. Then the article goes on to say, But several conservative groups said the federal agency has no business getting involved in the issue as a civil rights matter, and in doing so, trampled on the rights of other students. Um… where to even begin with that logic. Have they even heard of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964? They is a whole series of federal court case going all the way back to the 1989 Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins Supreme Court case that ruled that sex discrimination can also be the way a person looks or dresses. That case was followed by numerous other court cases that ruled that gender identity and express are covered Titles IV and IX. Using their logic about trampling the rights of other students you could say the same thing about segregation; there are people who feel their civil right trampled on being forced to integrate or be in the same class as non-Christians. P.S. 7/28/13 “Eric Holder needs to reread the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and find out that civil rights are based on an unchangeable, immutable characteristic,” Thomasson said. “You cannot change your genes or your gender. Some more thoughts about "unchangeable, immutable characteristic;" the best legal challenge to this logic that I have heard was from a judged who ruled (I believe from a court case in Georgia) sex discrimination covers transgender people because it is still "sex." The judges used the analogy that if a person changed their religion it is still religious discrimination and it is still sex discrimination if a person their sex.

It was a great victory but the agreement only covers the Arcadia, California, School District. This was not a ruling like the EEOC last year on employment nor was it a court case so it doesn’t have broad coverage; it just covers the Arcadia, CA School District. It does not affect all federally funded schools nationwide. However, what it does show is that the Department of Justice believes that the laws do cover gender identity and expression and that the laws also cover sex-segregated facilities. There have been a number of schools in Connecticut that refuse to allow transgender students to use the bathroom of their gender identity and require them to use a staff bathroom or a gender neutral bathroom. The CT law is vague about sex-segregated facilities; the CHRO takes the position that sex-segregated facilities are covered under the law but some school districts point out that there has never been any court ruling to back-up their opinion. This agreement between the DOJ and the Arcadia, CA School District will make those CT school district rethink their policy.

Racism, xenophobia and intolerance are prevalent problems. Prejudice and discrimination are reflected throughout United States history from European-American exploitation of Native Americans and enslavement of people of African descent; job discrimination against the Irish; World War II internment of Japanese Americans; state-sponsored racial segregation of Mexican Americans; Jim Crow laws, and the War on Drugs that results in mass incarceration of African Americans. […] To encourage conversation and solution-building, the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center presents What Can You Do to Fight Intolerance?, a free workshop on July 25 from 5-7 p.m., facilitated by Dr. William A. Howe, CT Department of Education. Reservations are encouraged: 860-522-9258, ext. 317 or Info @ StoweCenter.org.

I strongly suggest the you bookmark the page, it has information about identity documents, workplace rights, your healthcare rights, marriage laws for us, information about trans-youth and seniors and also about bathroom rights. The second email came from the CT Safe School Coalition that I am a member of for the CT TransAdvocacy Coalition and this one was about a DOJ agreement that they reached with a school system out in California about discrimination against a trans-student. The press release states, Department of Justice Office of Public Affairs FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wednesday, July 24, 2013 United States Reaches Agreement with Arcadia, California, School District to Resolve Sex Discrimination Allegations The United States entered into a settlement agreement with the Arcadia Unified School District in Arcadia, Calif., to resolve an investigation into allegations of discrimination against a transgender student based on the student’s sex. Under the agreement, approved by the district’s school board unanimously last night, the school district will take a number of steps to ensure that the student, whose gender identity is male and who has consistently and uniformly presented as a boy at school and in all other aspects of his life for several years, will be treated like other male students while attending school in the district. The agreement, joined by the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, which participated in the investigation, resolves a complaint filed in October 2011. The complaint alleged that the district had prohibited the student from accessing facilities consistent with his male gender identity, including restrooms and locker rooms at school, as well as sex-specific overnight accommodations at a school-sponsored trip, because he is transgender. The United States investigated this complaint under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Both Title IX and Title IV prohibit discrimination against students based on sex. Under the settlement agreement, the district will: work with a consultant to support and assist the district in creating a safe, nondiscriminatory learning environment for students who are transgender or do not conform to gender stereotypes; amend its policies and procedures to reflect that gender-based discrimination, including discrimination based on a student’s gender identity, transgender status, and nonconformity with gender stereotypes, is a form of discrimination based on sex; and train administrators and faculty on preventing gender-based discrimination and creating a nondiscriminatory school environment for transgender students. Additionally, the district will take a number of steps to treat the student like all other male students in the education programs and activities offered by the district. The district-wide provisions of the agreement will be in place until the end of the 2015-2016 school year. The student-specific provisions of the agreement will be in place as long as the student is enrolled in the district. “All students, including transgender students, have the right to attend school free from discrimination based on their sex,” said Jocelyn Samuels, Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division. “We commend the district for taking affirmative steps to ensure that this student and his peers can continue to learn and thrive in a safe and nondiscriminatory environment.” “Our commitment to civil rights enforcement runs deep and nowhere is that commitment more meaningful than in our schools,” said André Birotte, Jr., United States Attorney for the Central District of California. “This agreement helps ensure continued advancement towards equal rights under the law for all students.” In recent years, the Justice Department and the Department of Education resolved a number of cases involving gender-based harassment in public schools. In 2012, the departments entered into a consent decree addressing harassment against students who do not conform to gender stereotypes in the Anoka-Hennepin School District, Minn. In 2011, the departments entered into an agreement with the Tehachapi Unified School District, Calif., to resolve a similar complaint of harassment against a gay student who did not conform to gender stereotypes. Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 each prohibit harassment based on sex. The enforcement of Title IV and Title IX are top priorities of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. Additional information about the Civil Rights Division is available on its website at www.justice.gov/crt .

Today Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Colorado reversed it decision not to cover chest surgery for a trans-man. In abrupt reversal, Anthem covers transgender care Health Policy Solutions By Katie Kerwin McCrimmon Posted on 24 July 2013 One of Colorado’s largest health insurance companies has reversed itself and is now covering care for transgender patients. Kelly Costello, 32, of Denver, received stunning news last week. One day after getting a formal notice that Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Colorado would not cover chest reconstruction surgery, the company abruptly overturned its decision. Costello received a written notice that Anthem has reversed its decision and now will cover “some or all of the services.” Costello had paid about $8,000 in out-of-pocket expenses for the surgery he underwent in April.

No, read on, In March, Colorado’s Division of Insurance issued a bulletin barring health insurance companies from discriminating against people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.

The rest of the neighborhood kids played in the woods and built tree forts and fought imaginary battles. At night we use to play hide and seek or chase fireflies. We didn’t have many structured games we used our imagination and came up with created ways to entertain ourselves and explore our environment. So when I found this on a friends Facebook page I read the article… Your Brain on Childhood: The Unexpected Side Effects of Classrooms, Ballparks, Family Rooms, and the Minivan Prometheus Books By Gabrielle Principe […] For more than 99 percent of human existence childhood was spent in a natural environment. Children spent their days roaming in packs and playing on their own in the out-of-doors. They improvised their play, invented games, and made up their own rules. Education was informal and new skills were learned through interacting with peers and encountering the natural world. Today, infants find themselves strapped into bouncy seats and plunked in front of the TV set; preschoolers are given talking doll houses and battery-powered frogs that teach them their ABCs; and older children sit in front of computers with iPods in their ears texting friends. Although such artificial environments have made life easier and more secure for children, scientists are finding that this new lifestyle is having unwanted side effects on children’s brains. In Your Brain on Childhood, developmental psychologist Gabrielle Principe reviews the consequences of raising children in today’s highly unnatural environments and suggests ways in which parents can learn to naturalize childhood again, so that a child’s environment gels with how the brain was designed to grow. I was watching my grandnieces and grandnephews play with Logos one Christmas building the toy pictured on the box (I believe it was an action figure from Star Wars) and when they went on to another toy, I started to build something with the Legos and I got chided for not building the picture on the box. They were using their imagination but only within the confines outlined on the box, they were zoom around the room fighting imaginary space battles with it; but if you wanted to build a tank with the Legos, they didn’t like that. The book review goes on to say, The startling implication is that today’s structured, controlled, and fabricated surroundings are exactly wrong for developing brains. Instead of emphasizing technology and organized activities, parents and teachers could better help children learn by encouraging exploration, experimentation, and exposure to the real world… Now it seems like that Little League goes for the whole summer and there is no time for family activities, it seems like the summer about going from one camp to another summer camp. From band camp to cheerleader camp to soccer camp. When my brother and I were little we use to travel all over the eastern U.S. by car exploring the countryside. We explored the caves of New York State, the civil war battle fields and visited just about every national park this side of the Mississippi and we didn’t have a built-in TV to watch or an electronic game to play. Instead we looked for Burma Shave signs or Mail Pouch tobacco barns or find a particular state license plates (My brother always won because he was usually sitting on the driver side of the car). The review goes on to say, …Recess, now often dismissed as a waste of time, should be considered an essential part of children’s cognitive and social development; lessons should be individualized as much as possible; and the current focus on homework and letter grades should be de-emphasized and eventually eliminated altogether. Now it is “teach the test” we don’t want individual thinking, heaven help the child that asks “why?” What are the first classes that are dropped from the curriculum? Art and music, we don’t need those they are not on the standardized tests. When I got summoned to jury duty they had signs all over the building about turning off your cell phones and while the judge was giving his speech to us a twenty-something was texting away. The judge looked at the sheriff who want over and took away the man’s cell phone. The guy argued with the judge that he needed to keep in touch with work and the guy looked like he was going through drug withdraws for the rest of the day. I know that I am attached to emails, I feel lost if I haven’t checked my emails at least a couple of times a day. I’m glad that I am in my sixties because I sure hate to see the results of this grand experiment.

New York Times: Education By CATHLEEN BELL, ADAM COOPER and GEORGIA SCURLETIS July 22, 2013 The Winner: We unanimously chose Lily’s response to “Rights Unit Finds Bias Against Transgender Student” as our contest winner. Not only is Lily’s post well written and emotionally potent, she deserves commendation for her courage in sharing her story of surviving high school as a transgender teen. Lily celebrates Coy’s victory, comes to terms with her own defeat, and finds consolation in the power of her advocacy. And part of what makes her writing so rich with complexity is her confident and correct use of demeanor, defy and precedent, among other apt words: A large smile came to Coy Mathis’s face upon hearing she won; a larger one came to my face upon reading of it. I have identified as female for the past two years, though like Coy my birth certificate states that I am male: simply put, I am transgender. I am on my way to college in the fall, but it is with a slight sense of regret over leaving high school without winning my own fight for equality. Like Coy, I had already been living as a female for quite some time. There was little in my demeanor or comportment that suggested anything deviant, but the official administrative decision my school made was to force me to use the gender-neutral staff restroom. I didn’t have the support Coy had to fight this decision. I had to settle with defying this order throughout my final two years of high school, though not without a certain degree of shame; I had to settle with thinking of myself as “almost female enough to use the female restrooms.” There was a lot of pride-swallowing over the last few years. “Perhaps society isn’t ready yet,” I thought, but this ruling has proven me wrong. It has upheld and even expanded the rights of transgender children and affirmed the existence of hundreds of thousands of children in the same position as Coy and me. This small case in Colorado may seem relatively insignificant in our republic, where states can determine many of their own laws, but it is a massive first step in establishing a precedent for transgender children in our education system. My opportunity to benefit from this growing change may have passed, but I still have the power of advocacy, the power to influence my school and others like it to change their policies for the better. Coy Mathis will be able to attend school and live according to the gender she identifies as — I would like to help other children like her to do the same. The week before Times asked to students the question “What Interested You Most in The Times This Week?” and they received over 450 responses last week. Out of the all the responses not only was a trans-girl was picked number one; her comment was from the heart and personal and it beat out about comments about the 19 firefighters that died in Arizona, the revolt Egypt and other top stories that week.

We have seen that so many time, the organizations promise we will come back for you but their members say with their pocketbooks, screw you, we got ours and walk away.

"This process has been painful, and strained personal and professional relationships that had previously been strong… The ultimate question we had to answer was where we need to be in order to most effectively move the issue of open service for transgender people forward. Unfortunately, it was the considered opinion of our members that OutServe-SLDN will not be able to represent our interests effectively for the foreseeable future."

Thousands in back taxes ride on one question: Is Venus de Mars a professional or amateur artist? Minnesota Public Radio By Marianne Combs July 19, 2013 ST. PAUL, Minn. — Venus de Mars has been a longtime fixture in the Twin Cities music scene, producing seven original albums over the past two decades. Known for provocative stage shows that involve lots of black leather and reverb, the transgender rock musician tours regularly around the country, singing songs inspired by her experience living between genders. De Mars does not have a day job. She makes about $20,000 a year entirely on her music, painting and other artistic endeavors and considers herself a professional artist. The Minnesota Department of Revenue, however, disagrees. Its ruling earlier this year defining de Mars as a hobbyist who cannot claim tax deductions for her artistic work could set a precedent that advocates for artists say would put artists' careers in jeopardy. Now get this… It listed several reasons, chief among them that de Mars took too much pleasure from her work, and didn't work hard enough to make a profit. As a result, state officials say she owes thousands of dollars in back taxes. Isn’t that stupid? How do they define “work hard enough”? How many small independent businesses make a profit for the first three years? Is she supposed to hate her work in order to have tax deductions? Do you know how many struggling artists out would fall under the same criteria and have to pay taxes as they try to get known? I bet all most every independent artist could not take the deductions; could you imagine if Picasso, Dali, Monet and Degas were still alive the Minnesota Department of Revenue would send them a tax bill, sorry you are not real artist, you’re just doing it as a hobby.

In that episode Sophia Burset hormones are stopped by the prison staff and someone mentioned that stopping hormones wouldn’t kill you. I mentioned that you could lose bone density but before I wrote that I researched it on Pub Med database and found some interesting studies… Body composition, volumetric and areal bone parameters in male-to-female transsexual persons. CONCLUSION: M-->F transsexual persons have less lean mass and muscle strength, and higher fat mass. In addition, they present lower trabecular vBMD and aBMD at the lumbar spine, total hip and distal radius, and smaller cortical bone size as compared to matched controls. Both the lower level of sports-related physical activity as well testosterone deprivation could contribute to these findings. These results indicate that bone health should be a parameter of interest in the long-term follow-up care for M-->F transsexual persons. And another study, Prevalence of low bone mass in relation to estrogen treatment and body composition in male-to-female transsexual persons. Abstract Bone health is a parameter of interest in the daily follow-up of male-to-female (M --> F) transsexual persons both before and after sex reassignment surgery (SRS) due to an intensely changing hormonal milieu. We have studied body composition, areal, geometric, and volumetric bone parameters, using DXA and peripheral quantitative computed tomography at different sites in 50 M --> F transsexual persons, at least 3 yr after the start of the hormonal treatment and 1 yr after SRS. In this cross-sectional study, hormone levels and markers of bone metabolism were assessed using immunoassays. Prevalence of low bone mass as defined by a Z-score < or = -2.0 according to DXA criteria was 26% at lumbar spine and 2% at the total hip. We found no major differences in hormonal parameters between participants with a Z-score < or = or > -2.0. Markers of bone turnover were comparable between subjects with or without low bone mass, indicating a stable bone turnover at the time of investigation. No significant differences in bone size or density were observed between patients on transdermal vs. oral estrogens. Low bone mass is not uncommon in M --> F transsexual persons. Smaller bone size, and a strikingly lower muscle mass compared with men appear to underlie these findings. It seems that one of the things that we have to be aware of when we are on cross gender hormones is our bone density. I had a bone density scan this spring after 9 years on hormones, my bone density was normal. And I also came across this interesting webpage at University of California, San Francisco, Center of Excellence for Transgender Health website where the recommend healthcare for trans-patients (Primary Care Protocol for Transgender Patient Care). Well worth reading.

Some of the certificate programs are 8 hours while others are 24 hours and one even offers a six day training program. In other medical flied there are defined training requirements that professional need to have before they are certified by a professional organization. What do you think? Should professional associations like the AMA, APA, NASW and the Endocrine Society have requirements for their members to get a certificate in Trans-Healthcare? Also there are a number of companies that offer to teach Cultural Competence who are not giving be trans-people.

Greece is Waging a Horrifying War on Transgender Women Care2 by Steve Williams July 9, 2013 Members of the European Parliament last week condemned what appears to be a systematic attack on trans citizens by Greece’s authorities. Members of the European Parliament have issued strong statements against Greek police who, based on witness testimony and strong evidence, have been carrying out systematic arrests against trans women and detaining them without cause. The first reported instance of this reportedly dates to August of 2012 when, without justification, police in Athens arrested and detained 25 transgender women in just one night. Those women were forced to submit to HIV tests under a new provision that allows forced HIV screenings as a matter of public health — more on that later. Those women were later released without charge. […] Furthermore, on the night of June 4, the European Parliament’s Intergroup on LGBT rights reports that lawyer Electra Koutra, acting to defend the women, was also arrested when she attended the police station where the women were being held. The reason for her arrest has not been given. […] The Greek Transgender Support Association contends that this might be a wider problem dating back to at least late May, when trans women had been arrested under the pretext, but no evidence, of them being sex workers, detained for up to four hours without charge and often forced to endure what the GTSA describes as humiliation from the authorities. Furthermore, the GTSA contends that when those women did attempt a formal complaint, they were threatened legal action. Another report alleges that while in custody, a number of women were told by the police that if they did not “return to normal,” legal proceedings would be initiated on grounds of indecent behavior in public — despite no evidence any of the women had engaged in such. While the persecution of trans-people was going on in Greece the European Union's Council of Ministers passed a LGBT human rights guidelines; according to EuropeanVoice, On 24 June, the European Union's Council of Ministers adopted a ground-breaking foreign-policy document entitled “Guidelines to promote and protect the enjoyment of all human rights by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and inter-sex (LGBTI) persons”. These guidelines, drawn up by the European External Action Service (EEAS) are a comprehensive, legally binding document that instructs European Union institutions and member states on how to help progress the rights for LGBTI people when dealing with third countries and in international forums. These guidelines replace the non-binding ‘toolkit' adopted in 2010, they include references to the human rights of inter-sex people, and enhance the scope. They call for actions to combat discriminatory laws and policies; combat LGBTI-phobic violence; and promote equality and non-discrimination. In short, the EU now has a state-of-the-art framework for the promotion of greater recognition of LGBTI human rights internationally. This is an extraordinarily fast-paced development and deserves to be praised. But as the article points out, not internally, the guidelines are only international.

Do you have favorite Beach Boys song? 409 Back in high school I hung around with “gear heads”, but they weren’t 409s but 427s. I don’t remember how many times I help carry a short block out of a basement. 2) The original members of the group were the Wilson brothers, their cousin Mike and a friend from the neighborhood. Have you ever worked with a family member? Yes and for the sake of family unity I’m not saying anything more. 3) Originally released in the mid-1970s, Endless Summer was one of the first fast-selling albums sold on TV. Have you ever picked up the phone and purchased anything directly from TV? Nope. But I meet the “But wait there’s more!” guy once. I was talking to friend when he join the conversation, he was a friend of my friend, and when he was talking I couldn’t place the voice. He saw me looking at him funny and he smiled and said “But wait there’s more!” Of course I recognized the voice right away. 4) The Beach Boys are very popular in Australia. Have you ever been Down Under? Nope, but I would like to visit there and New Zealand. 5) Actor John Stamos played bongos on the Beach Boys' hit, "Kokomo." In his younger days, Stamos was Blackie on the daytime drama, General Hospital. Have you ever followed a soap opera? Never got into them, I like shows that end in an hour. 6) Many Beach Boys songs revolve around the surf. How are you on a surf board? Horrible! I tried surfing once on Martha's Vineyard, it was a disaster. I didn’t like having to get sand out of ever opening in my body. 7) Would you prefer summer to be endless? Or do you enjoy the changing seasons? Well it depends, if it was like this week where it was 90 and 90, no. However, I wouldn’t mind if we had three seasons spring, summer and fall. 8) Do your summer 2013 plans include a trip to a waterpark? Nope, I rather hang out at the lake. 9) Describe your swimsuit. I can do better than describe it… Posted by Diana_CT at 9:41 AM 5 comments: Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest Labels: memes Friday, July 19, 2013 A Day Trip To The Hill-Stead Yesterday we were planning on going to the New Britain Museum of American Art but all the library passes were out so I picked up a pass to the Hill-Stead Museum. I had never been there before but it was on my list museums to visit. When we got there the woman in the gift shop asked if we wanted to go on the tour? I was really wasn’t interesting a guided tour but the friend I was with said yes. Well it turned out that was the right answer because the Hill-Stead isn’t like an ordinary museum, they only have tours. It was the retirement home of the Pope family and it used to be a working farm back in the 1901 when it was built; her father was the president of Cleveland Malleable Iron Company and it was his daughter that created the Hill-Stead Trust when she died. She was a woman ahead of her time. They were from Ohio and they sent their daughter back east to go to a finishing school for girls, Miss Poter's, that is also located in Farmington just down the road from the Hill-Stead. Theodate Pope (born Effie Pope in 1867, she changed her name in 1886) went on to become an influential architect, she designed many local building in Connecticut and New York and she was the fourth registered woman architect in the nation and she became a member of the American Institute of Architects in 1918 (You can read more about at the Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame, on the Hill-Stead website and an excellent website “Theodate Pope Riddle Her Life and Architecture") Theodate Pope Riddle from Joe Colombatto on Vimeo. About the Hill-Stead Museum: Alfred Atmore Pope collected "avant-garde" works that would inspire him, such as French Impressionism with works of Edgar Degas and Claude Monet and he also liked the works of James McNeill Whistler, Mary Cassatt and Edouard Manet. As part of Theodate Pope will Hill-Stead is preserved with all the original art and furnishing, they will never leave the estate. As one of the other women said in the tour that this was the only place where she has seen a Monet as it was meant to be viewed, in a living room over a fireplace. Later the as we were touring the house’s library the same woman pointed to a book and said, "Is that 'Godey’s Lady Book'?” and the tour guide said yes pointing to a row of books and said that they are only opened for members to view once in awhile. After the tour we walked in the near 100o heat for a little bit in the sunken garden next to the house and the horse barn, then we hurried back to the air conditioned car. The afternoon was well spent touring the house.

In 2000, the city of Atlanta approved a nondiscrimination ordinance that prohibits discrimination based on race, color, creed, religion, sex, domestic relationship status, parental status, familial status, political affiliation, sexual orientation, national origin, gender identity, racial profiling, age or disability. The article goes on to list other cities in Georgia that have non-discrimination policies, but unfortunately the article doesn’t say if they also include gender identity and expression. Now I can visit Martin Luther King birthplace and not have to worry about being thrown out of a restaurant in the city.

A trans-women playing a trans-woman. I think the only other time it was done was in the TV show “Dirty Sexy Money” with Candis Cayne playing a high end call girl and she was only a minor character on the show. Now on Orange Is the New Black, Netflix’s original series that debuted on July 11, a trans-women is playing a major character in the show. There is an article in The Daily Beast about the show... For the first time in TV history, a transgender character is at the forefront of a show and being portrayed by a black transgender woman. (Transgender is an umbrella term that also includes transsexuals.) Laverne Cox plays Sophia Burset, a former firefighter sent to prison for using credit cards stolen from the wreckage of fires she helped put out. In prison, she acts as a hairdresser, friend, and political conscience for the other prisoners, while also trying to ensure access to her female hormones and repairing her relationship with her wife and son… I can understand why it is a hit, there are plenty of boobs and lesbian sex. I only watched the first episode but I have a question, is Sophia Burset post-op in the show? I ask that because she is in a women’s prison and if she isn’t then in real life they would have put her in a men’s prison. On of the fears that trans-people have is going to jail and being placed in with their birth gender even through they transitioned. I will update the post once I see episode two tonight. Episode 3, leaves no doubt that she belongs in a women's jail.

With the recent Supreme Court decision overturning the Voter Rights Act there is a lot of talk about voter fraud, but that all there is talk, no facts. Fox News was hyping voter fraud saying that 900 dead voters voted in South Caroline’s elections, now that the dust has settled down the truth comes out, Another Fox Voter Fraud Story Dies Media Matters By Matt Gertz July 8, 2013 Seventeen months after Fox News became briefly fixated on Republican claims that hundreds of dead voters had cast ballots in South Carolina, those allegations have been completely debunked by an investigation by law enforcement that found no evidence of voter fraud. […] The South Carolina "dead voter" claim sprang from testimony from Kevin Schwedo, the director of the state's Department of Motor Vehicles, who said on January 11, 2012, that more than 950 residents were recorded as having cast a vote after their reported death date. Schwedo made clear that this could have been the result of data errors or voters dying after casting an absentee ballot, but the state's Republicans, led by Attorney General Alan Wilson, seized on the report as evidence of widespread voter fraud. WOW! 950 DEAD VOTERS* VOTED! But wait what is that little asterisk? Oh, it may have been a data base error. But somehow that little asterisk got lost in all the hype Republicans and the right wing media made over 950 dead voters voting. Indeed, on July 3 the public release of an investigation by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) provided the answer we anticipated: No voter fraud was found, no charges filed. As of noon E.T. on July 8, Fox had not reported on those findings. According to the report, released due to a public records search by the Columbia Free Times' Corey Hutchins, SLED reviewed the findings of the State Election Commission, which had looked into the 207 votes that had been called into question that occurred during the 2010 general election. Nearly half were the result of "name recognition errors," where, for instance, when a father who was deceased but whose name still appeared on the list would be marked as having voted when his son of the same name had actually cast the ballot. The balance was due to other types of clerical errors and individuals casting absentee ballots before their deaths. If the report got mentioned at all in the news media it was delegated to the back page, so what does the public think? Maybe think that we need new laws to prevent voter fraud, we need the “Voter ID” act that will disenfranchise the marginalized voter so when the Republicans push the new bills everyone is shouting about stopping “voter fraud”. Look at Pennsylvania, the Republicans did the same thing there, shouted “voter fraud” and after the bill passed the truth came… there was no voter fraud and the Republicans actually bragged how they disenfranchised Democratic voters. In Connecticut and California the Republicans shouted fraud about ACORN, do you remember that? It was all over the national and local news about all the voter fraud ACORN was doing. Once the reports came out, the Attorney General of California and the Secretary of State of Connecticut found no voter fraud with ACORN that they followed the law. But the damage was done and the Republicans got their way and ACORN closed. And the Republicans got their way in the other states with "Voter ID" laws, they know that the voters who will have the hardest time getting their voting IDs are the minorities and the poor, the people who would have most likely voted Democratic.

Ever have a flat tire while crossdressed? Do you know the difference between the two? One is a hassle and the other could get you killed or arrested. Being Transgender in Kuwait: “My Biggest Fear Is a Flat Tire” Human Rights Watch July 15, 2013 By Belkis Wille On a warm evening in late April 2013, I was sitting at a Starbucks in Kuwait City across the table from a thirty-one year old woman. Even though “Reem” had undergone male-to-female surgery almost a decade earlier, legal barriers prevented her complete transition to womanhood. Reem still wore a bulky suit and tie every day to her office to conceal the fact that she was now a woman. When she would go out as herself, she would have to borrow her sister’s ID; luckily, they have similar features. […] While she [a friend of Reem] was driving home one night, Dalia had car trouble and had to pull over. A policeman pulled up and asked for her papers. On official documents, Dalia, like Reem, is a man—in Kuwait, transgendered people have no legal recourse to change the gender on their ID cards. The policeman arrested Dalia for dressing as a woman. Ultimately, she spent eight days in prison, for the crime of imitating the opposite sex. Upon release, Dalia was ordered to pay a fine and banned from traveling abroad for seven months. “Now,” she told me, “my biggest fear is a flat tire.” […] Thirty-nine of the forty transgender women who HRW interviewed for its report said they were arrested, some individuals as many as nine times. In the majority of cases, the criminal court either acquitted the individual or failed to reach a verdict. Many of these transgender women claimed, however, that police forced them—by threat or physical violence—to sign declarations stating they would “never again imitate the opposite sex” before releasing them from prison. Here in the U.S., many trans-people also fear having a flat, but it depends mainly where you live. Last year I had a flat tire in Massachusetts and a nice man stopped and changed the tire for me. Once before I transitioned I was going up to First Event in Boston, a transgender conference, when we had a flat tire on the Massachusetts’ Turnpike and I feared that a trucker or someone would stop and help us. I know of trans-persons who have been pulled over for speeding and have been harassed by the police. In one case once the officer found out she was a crossdresser three other police cars arrived and all of the officers had to get a look at her. In another speeding case the officer wrote on the ticket that she was crossdressed. How many times have you heard of an officer writing down on a speeding ticket how you were dressed? I know of someone who was crossdressed and their car caught fire one night. “He” was a volunteer fire fighter in that town and she was petrified that they would recognize her (which they didn’t); afterward we all have a good laugh over it, but at the time she was frighten that she would be the laughing stock of the town.

MSNBC Morgan Whitaker 07/14/2013 Alexander, an African-American Florida woman, was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2012 for shooting what she described as warning shots into a wall during a confrontation with her husband. Alexander’s lawyers claimed self-defense in the case, and said her husband had a history of abuse in their relationship. They invoked Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law, which gives people the right to use lethal force if they feel their life is threatened. The jury ultimately sided with prosecutors in deciding Alexander’s actions were not in self-defense, WJXT reported. Her sentencing fell under the guidelines of what’s known in Florida as the “10-20-Life” law, which set certain mandatory minimum sentences for crimes committed with a firearm. The law enacted in 1999 requires that any crime committed with a gun earns the perpetrator a minimum ten year sentence, as the Florida Department of Corrections explains. If the firearm is discharged, the convicted will receive a 20-year minimum sentence, and if shots fired from the gun injure or kill anyone, the minimum sentence is 25-years to life. The moral to the story is as obvious as black and white. PBS last year researched racial bias in “Stand Your Ground” laws last year in the states where they have the law… Is There Racial Bias in “Stand Your Ground” Laws? July 31, 2012, 12:40 pm ET by Sarah Childress At least 20 states have laws with provisions that don’t require civilians to flee from an intruder before fighting back, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Of those, eight states, all of them in the south, specifically use the phrasing, “Stand Your Ground.” That includes Florida. […] At least 20 states have laws with provisions that don’t require civilians to flee from an intruder before fighting back, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Of those, eight states, all of them in the south, specifically use the phrasing, “Stand Your Ground.” That includes Florida. […] Using this analysis, Roman found that a greater number of homicides were found justified in Stand Your Ground states in all racial combinations, a result he believes is because those states yielded more killings overall. Roman also found that Stand Your Ground laws tend to track the existing racial disparities in homicide convictions across the U.S. — with one significant exception: Whites who kill blacks in Stand Your Ground states are far more likely to be found justified in their killings. In non-Stand Your Ground states, whites are 250 percent more likely to be found justified in killing a black person than a white person who kills another white person; in Stand Your Ground states, that number jumps to 354 percent. In Florida, for example, if a shooter invokes the Stand Your Ground law, police can determine whether to make an arrest when they arrive on the scene. If they do arrest him, the suspect then appears before a judge who determines whether Stand Your Ground applies to the case. If it does, the prosecutor then decides whether to go to court. The system offers substantial discretion to authorities at every level, which is much more difficult to monitor and evaluate — and much more vulnerable to creeping bias. That’s why the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights announced last month that it would investigate concerns about racial bias in the law’s application. So do you still want to live in Florida or another state with “Stand Your Ground” laws? But on the other hand, if you are white I guess it is OK.

Portland Press Hearld By Joe Lawlor Staff Write July 15, 2013 PORTLAND - Two women who stay at Florence House, a homeless shelter for women in Portland, have complained that two men who dress as women have also been staying there for the past few months -- using the same common bathrooms, showers and sleeping facilities. The women say it's unsettling to share a space with people they consider men, although shelter officials say the two people identify as transgender and are therefore allowed to stay. "I am supposed to be there as a woman with other women," said one of the women, who did not want to be identified for fear of losing her spot at the shelter. She said one of the people in question has stared at her, making her uncomfortable. OK, so let me get this straight; the trans-women did nothing wrong they just looked at her. They didn’t break any laws or break the shelter rules. They didn’t harass her. They just looked at her funny. She is uncomfortable so they should be put in a men’s shelter where they can get raped and assaulted. But that is okay because she won’t be uncomfortable anymore. But the women who complained said they believe that in at least one case, it was a ruse. They believe one of the people in question is a man who occasionally dresses as a woman to get into the shelter, perhaps for voyeuristic reasons. That person did not have any feminine mannerisms and often dresses in a T-shirt and jeans, sporting a 5 o'clock shadow of male facial hair, they said. "If they're really living as a woman, I think they have every right to be there," said one of the women who complained. "But he wasn't wearing makeup or wearing eyeliner or anything. Just a man wearing a skirt. It was just odd." So, women, real women wear makeup and never dress in T-shirts and jeans. As for the 5 o’clock shadow… Honey, if you want to give them a couple of thousand dollars for them to have electrolysis or laser treatment, I sure they would be happy to have their beards removed. But since it is unlikely you will give them the money and since they are living in a homeless shelter I doubt very much that they have the money. One of the women said the shelter is supposed to be a safe haven for women, who in many cases are leaving domestic violence situations. I can understand her feelings but I think she has to understand that trans-women also can be in an abusive relationship and if they are forced into a men’s shelter then they maybe assaulted there and further victimizing. The article also pointed out that the shelter has individual shower stalls and bathrooms with locks on them. Residency at shelters should be based on behavior, as long as a person does not break the shelter’s rules they should be allowed to stay there. It shouldn’t be based on feeling uncomfortable.

How the media outrageously blew the IRS scandal: A full accounting Almost everything "reported" about the big Obama scandal was wrong, and no one has been held to account (UPDATED) Salon By Alex Seitz-Wald July 8, 2013 The first few days of the IRS scandal that would consume Washington for weeks went like this: Conservatives were indignant, the media was outraged, the president had to respond, his allies turned on him … and only then, the Treasury Department’s inspector general released the actual report that had sparked the whole controversy — in that order. It’s a fitting microcosm of the entire saga, which has gone from legacy-tarnishing catastrophe to historical footnote in the intervening six weeks, and a textbook example of how the scandal narrative can dominate Washington and cable news even when there is no actual scandal […] And they would have gotten away with it, too, had their narrative had the benefit of being true. But now, almost two months later, we know that in fact the IRS targeted lots of different kinds of groups, not just conservative ones; that the only organizations whose tax-exempt statuses were actually denied were progressive ones; that many of the targeted conservative groups legitimately crossed the line; that the IG’s report was limited to only Tea Party groups at congressional Republicans’ request; and that the White House was in no way involved in the targeting and didn’t even know about it until shortly before the public did. Wait! Wait, what was that? The Republicans asked them to only investigate conservative groups… no, the Republicans would never do anything like that. And of course the media would have not just wanted a sensation to sell more advertising; they would have researched it and not just taken the Republican’s word on it.

Directors and officers (D&O) liability insurance protects corporate officers and directors from claims alleging they performed their duties improperly and is a type of errors and omissions insurance. Lawsuits can be filed by shareholders, regulators, state investigators, or other third parties and this coverage is designed to cover claims based on financial injuries. The standard Directors’ and officers’ policy provides three types of coverage. Side A – Directors and Officers Liability Covers damages and expenses assessed against a director or officer who has not been indemnified for these costs by the corporation It protects directors’ and officers’ personal assets. A company may be unable to provide indemnification because it is bankrupt, or they are barred from indemnifying a director or officer by law. States generally prohibit indemnification of directors or officers who are in a suit filed by shareholders on the company’s behalf against directors or officers. Side B – Corporate Reimbursement (Indemnification) is defined as protection from damage, injury, financial loss or legal liability. In this case, Side B – Indemnification reimburses the corporation for funds it has paid to directors or officers or on their behalf, as compensation. Side C – Entity Securities Coverage (Corporate Liability) Covers claims or suits filed directly against the corporation as a result of an offer, sale or purchase of its securities. The scope of this coverage varies depending on whether the insured company is a private, public or non-profit corporation. Management liability is a type of D&O policy for small and medium business. It is structured as a package-policy and contains a range of broad coverages to protect a business and its managers from several types of claims. The Management Liability Policy is a very cost effective. In addition to traditional directors’ and officers’ liability and corporate reimbursement insuring agreements, the following can be included in the policy: Corporate liability: coverage for claims made against the entity Employment practices liability: entity coverage for employment-related claims Superannuation(pension) trustee liability: entity coverage for claims arising from the management of retirement, pension fund or 401k schemes Crime: coverage for crime committed against the entity, such as fraud and misappropriation of funds Statutory liability: entity coverage for monetary penalties and possibly fines, resulting from breaches in legislation Taxation investigation: coverage for investigations undertaken by taxation authorities such as the IRS. D&O policies are written on a claims-made form.

Boron is a naturally occurring mineral in shale and coal beds formed in marine environments, as found in the Uinta Basin. Mining activity and the application of excess irrigation water on agricultural lands in the Pariette watershed lead to mobilization of B via surface run off. Water quality monitoring records from 2006- 2009 reported violations of Utah B standard for irrigation water 43-100% of the time, for water flowing through the Pariette Wetlands. This study aims to determine B distribution in abiotic (water, sediments) and biotic samples (macroinvertebrates, aquatic vegetation, fish, bird eggs), and to establish correlations between B concentrations in the samples. Abiotic samples had average B concentrations of 2.87 ± 0.8 mg L-1 in water and 51.65 mg kg-1 in sediments. The concentrations exceeded established lowest-observable-adverse-effect levels (LOAELs) for aquatic plants and sensitive invertebrates like crustaceans. The total average B concentration in benthic macroinvertebrates (28.45 ± 12.04 mg kg-1) was higher than B concentrations in their habitat (sediment and water). Benthic macroinvertebrate (BMI) biodiversity was low in all four wetland units with increased populations of pollution tolerant taxa like Chironomidae (midges). Reduced numbers of freshwater BMIs such as Ephemeroptera (mayflies), Plecoptera (stoneflies) or Trichoptera (caddisflies) indicate environmental stress and impaired conditions. Submerged plants (Potamageton (pondweed) and Chara (stonewort)) had higher total average B concentrations than emergent plants (Typha domingensis and Typha latifolia (cattails), Scirpus acutus (bulrush), and Phragmites austalis (common reed)), and higher B concentrations than the water, suggesting B bioconcentration. The B content in waterfowl and fish food sources were not high enough to impact adult birds or freshwater fish tolerant of poor water quality. Simple linear statistical correlations between B in biotic samples (bird eggs, fish) and their habitats and food sources were poor to non-existent; however, positive correlations and high p–values established using Mantel test coefficients suggest possible pathways for exposure to B via ingestion. We concluded that even though B bioconcentrates in aquatic vegetation it is not biomagnifing in aquatic food-chain components we investigated in the Pariette Wetlands. In addition to continued water monitoring, we recommend using submerged vegetation and macroinvertebrates to alert site managers to adverse effects of B on wetland fish and bird eggs.

That’s a comment preachers often get in response to sermons and devotions. People feel that we am writing to their experience – maybe even with them in mind as we write. The 14th chapter of the Gospel of John is one of those texts for me. “Don’t let your hearts be troubled,” says Jesus. And this is the text I was studying when I get the call that my wife, was in a car accident (she’s ok, btw – but it was a scary day). Seriously, Jesus? Anyone who thinks that God does not have a sense of humor needs to get to know God a little better. It felt – still feels today – like God was speaking directly to me, like the writer of John’s Gospel had that very moment in mind. When people say to me, “You were speaking right at me,” I get it. Sermons, devotion, and Scripture often feel the same to me. Like they are spoken right to me. I recently listened to François Clemmons talk about the last days of taping on Mister Rogers neighborhood – where he was known to us as “Officer Clemmons.” At the end of the show, Rogers would always say, “You make every day a special day just by being you, and I like you just the way you are.” That day, Clemmons happened to make eye contact with Rogers at that moment and was particularly struck by the line. “Fred, were you talking to me?” “Yes, I have been talking to you for years,” Rogers said, as Clemmons recalls. “But you heard me today.”* Sometimes it feels that God is especially speaking to us – through a sermon, a devotion, Scripture, or prayer. The truth is God is always speaking to us, but we only hear it sometimes. So yes. That was for you. Just for you. That sermon. That devotion. That message. It was for you. But it isn’t my message. It’s not the preacher, the writer, the author, the friend. It is the work of the Holy Spirit. Opening our ears. Opening our eyes. So that maybe today will be the day that we hear. Take time this week to really listen. What is God saying to you? Happy Easter! May you be joy in the world! *The story of Fred Rogers and François Clemmons was recently told on NPR’s Story Corp.

The 17th century mill-house has been restored In 1633, Frigg's Mill is recorded to have included fulling mills and a grist mill. It was being worked as a cloth mill in 1783 and in 1812, was said to consist of a grist mill and a newly-erected cloth mill. By 1820, however, James Hillman was employing it as a corn mill, and it remained a corn mill under Samuel Sims (1856) and his sons. Steam power was applied in the mill before 1889. They were succeeded soon after by Kimmins Drew & Co. who worked the mill until about 1908.

A critical inquiry into the value and experience of participation in design research. In Taking [A]part , John McCarthy and Peter Wright consider a series of boundary-pushing research projects in human-computer interaction (HCI) in which the design of digital technology is used to inquire into participative experience. McCarthy and Wright view all of these projects—which range from the public and performative to the private and interpersonal—through the critical lens of participation . Taking participation, in all its variety, as the generative and critical concept allows them to examine the projects as a part of a coherent, responsive movement, allied with other emerging movements in DIY culture and participatory art. Their investigation leads them to rethink such traditional HCI categories as designer and user, maker and developer, researcher and participant, characterizing these relationships instead as mutually responsive and dialogical. McCarthy and Wright explore four genres of participation—understanding the other, building relationships, belonging in community, and participating in publics—and they examine participatory projects that exemplify each genre. These include the Humanaquarium, a participatory musical performance; the Personhood project, in which a researcher and a couple explored the experience of living with dementia; the Prayer Companion project, which developed a technology to inform the prayer life of cloistered nuns; and the development of social media to support participatory publics in settings that range from reality game show fans to on-line deliberative democracies.
