Dartmouth Professor Cynthia Huntington, Louise Erdrich '76 Are National Book Award Finalists
Dartmouth Professor Cynthia Huntington received a phone call last week from the National Book Foundation informing her that Heavenly Bodies, her most recent book of poetry, was a finalist for the National Book Award. Huntington was also given special instructions: She could not tell anyone about the news until the official announcement the following day.

So Huntington, who is serving part of this term as poet-in-residence at University of North Carolina Wilmington, hopped in a car. She spent the day driving around aimlessly, safely removed from her phone and email. "I didn't trust myself to not tell anyone," she says with a laugh.
The first person she called? Her son—who will serve as her escort at the gala in New York City, where the winners will be announced on November 14.
Another writer with ties to Dartmouth, Louise Erdrich '76, is a finalist for the fiction prize for her book The Round House. Erdrich, who received an honorary doctorate from Dartmouth in 2009, is the author of 14 novels and has published poetry, short stories, children's books, and a memoir. Erdrich has been in residence at Dartmouth as a Montgomery Fellow, most recently in the spring of 2012.
Heavenly Bodies by Cynthia Huntington is a finalist for the National Book Award poetry prize.
Huntington's book was nominated in the poetry category. Huntington says this book, her fifth, "took longer than any other" and "went through enormous revisions." The coming-of-age story took about nine years to complete.
Huntington says she constantly questions herself when she writes. "What do you have to say about your experience? What is in it for the reader?" The book explores themes of feminism, sexuality, and rebellion amidst the political and social turmoil of the 1960s.
"I didn't really intend to write about the '60s," she says. "That just happened to be where my story was."

New Hampshire's Poet Laureate in 2004 and 2005, Huntington has taught at Dartmouth since 1988. She says she initially felt some "culture shock" when she arrived at Dartmouth, having graduated from a large state university. She is much more comfortable now.
"Dartmouth's been good to me," she says. Huntington says that the beautiful natural setting is conducive to writing. She says she has evolved and become more effective as a teacher over the years, due in part to the inquisitive nature of her students. "Dartmouth students really challenge you," says Huntington.
The Round House by Louise Erdrich '76 is a finalist for the National Book Award fiction prize.
While not teaching at Dartmouth this fall, Huntington will lead a course on James Joyce for winter term 2013. For now, Huntington seems to be savoring the moment—even that day spent driving around Wilmington. "I'm really, completely enjoying it," she says.
"I'm at a point at my life—I'm not young—that I don't need validation," says Huntington. "And while I might not need validation, I'll still take it."

Alexis Abramson, the dean of the Thayer School of Engineering and a professor of engineering, answers a question on many minds these cold winter nights. She tells the Granite Geek, "There's no doubt."


I like them dolo monkeys.
I've really enjoyed the double fake out over the last two pages.
Gog-Amog finally gets her 'actual character with motivation' turn.
I usually don't go in for "I understand that reference" stuff, but I am kind of there for Gog-Amog just straight-up having the Blade of the Immortal Kessen-Chu. And it's an interesting bit of synchronicity with the new Dororo series, at least.
I don't think Gog-Agog has kessen-chu so much as she is a mass of non-sapient worms that has somehow become self-aware and ascended to godhood.
Maya and Incubus are Goofus and Gallant, but which is which?
Googafullantus was once a perfect being, a flawless whole of balance.
Googafullantus commited the sin of division.
Meti does not train Goofuses but only a Goofus would want to learn the sword.

It came out of the darkness, its headlights blinding us for the brief moment it stayed true to our direction. It turned sharply, responding to what it encountered.
The road was full of them and us as we struggled to stay that important step in front of them. We ran past it, not wanting to slow down, not wanting to hope that someone was willing to help us.
How could they now know? Didn't they watch the news? It was everywhere!
The dead had risen and now they were taking over. All you could do was run, try to stay ahead of them. But even then, so many had no idea what to do.
"Out? What does that mean?" I could read the confusion and I continued to run, his van keeping pace with us.
"We're getting out." I didn't know why I bothered explaining it to him. It was unlikely he was really going to care.
I could tell he was nervous, scared to be alone. I also knew there was no way I was going to be able to keep up this pace with a kid on my hip and another tiring at the end of my arm.
"I drive." It was simple, I'd stated the rules and he acquiesced.


Last month news came out that Gwen Stefani was getting ready to release her first solo single in 7 years. "Baby Don't Lie" was scheduled for a mid-October release, and Gwen reportedly filmed a music video with director Sophie Muller. However, it looks like we won't be hearing "Baby Don't Lie" just yet.
Billboard reports that her record label, Interscope, has confirmed the single delay. Interscope emailed the message, "Please remove the add date. Will get new information shortly." Furthermore, it is reported that Gwen and her team are still trying to decide what song will act as the lead single. Although "Baby Don't Lie" seems to have been the original choice, a different single could end up on radio first. Only time will tell, but if Gwen still plans to release her new solo album this December, chances are the news will be out soon.
Gwen has been working on her new solo album for most of the year. She has worked with longtime collaborator Pharrell, and he has reportedly recorded some vocals for one of her new tracks – they may have another duet coming out! The pair have both joined this season's The Voice, and it seems that Gwen is trying to line up her new single and album release with the show; it will make for some great promo, and will be a smart move for her.
In addition to recording her third solo album, Gwen has also been working with her bandmates on a new No Doubt album. While Gwen's solo record is tentatively penciled in for a December release, the new No Doubt record may come out a bit later.
There has been a lot going on the the Gwen Stefani and No Doubt music world. You can check out our full recap of the whole recording process so far, and keep checking back here for the latest music news.

Last week I had a really bad flash transmitter problem during a photo assignment. The defect device was an EL-Skyport Eco Transmitter (19349) a standard 2.4 GHz digital wireless flash trigger. The Trigger failed to fire the flash, I changed camera, tried another flash unit, verified trigger channel on both receiver and transmitter, basically tried everything, but nothing worked. The Skyport transmitter looked like it worked, I was able to turn it on, turn it off, change channel and use the test button, even a power cycle didn't improve anything. Finally I replaced the almost new battery to a brand new, but unfortunately no flash was trigged and the complete photo session was in danger. But this time I was lucky, by coincident I had a spare remote trigger from another manufacturer and with help of an external sync-cable I was able to fire one flash and then I could use slave triggering using the Eye cell on the other.
After the session I tried to debug this issues and this particular unit continued to malfunction. Another Transmitter worked perfect, but this looked like it was broken. I also searched Internet for suggestion on the problem but found nothing. As the last option I downloaded the Skyport manual and looked for some sort of debugging checklist.
The problem was solved while reading the manual carefully, there's a "hidden" speed mode that is enabled by pressing the Test button in 5 seconds. This mode-setting is then stored in the unit (independent of power cycles) until the unit is factory restored by pressing the Test button in at least 10 seconds. This is an example of a feature with really bad user interface, catastrophic outcome and even a bad description in the manual design. This type of design errors shall not be present in professional photo equipment.
I think this "feature" is present in the other Skyport transmitters from Elinchrom, for example Skyport Transmitter RX Speed.
You just saved my life! I had the same problem. I always have a spare unit but my spare stopped working last week. Today, during a shooting, my reserve unit was not working anymore. Google research brought me to your page and now both units work again!
Hi Tom, I'm really happy that you found the solution in time. Soon it will be Photokina in Köln and I will have a chance to talk with the manufacturer about this stupid feature.
Thank you so much for this writeup, we came across this problem tonight. At first we thought it was batteries so purchased new ones to no avail, quick google found this.
Thanks a million, you just described my exact same problem (including saving my session by using an altenative set of triggers I usually use for my strobists).
Thanks to your suggestion (found though google) I restored my unit and it is working flawlessly again!
Thank you so much for your post, had the same problem and now it's solved 🙂 happy! Kind regards Jessica.
Nice post. Worked for me. Thanks, you saved me a lot of time and trouble.
I actually went to buy a new one and after 2 months it had the same 'problem' as my old one….
Then I bought a third one!! It went 'wrong' again (yes, 3 in a row) and I just couldn't believe I was the most unlucky guy on earth…. so start searching the internet… This is probably the 20+ pages I have looked at, and FINALLY FOUND A SOLUTION. ALL my 3 skyports are working now!!
Perhaps it is time to buy another 2 DSLR so that I can utilize all my 3 skyports … (but dont tell my wife).
THANK YOU!!!! What a stupid feature. I went without lights for a shoot today and could've had them all along GRRRRR.
OH MY GOSH! You just saved my life! Thank you!
Just to add another person's huge thanks!
Great information about reset function. I have already ordered the new battery… and then research on the web… many thanks for your site.
Yet another 'Thank You'. Sorted my problem and saved a shoot!
Be careful tightening the thread onto the hotshoe, they are quite a cheap plastic and I've had one sheer off in the past. It is possible that a connection problem can be caused by this and not noticed, but of course the 'test' button would still work. Thanks again…..
Hi Steve, thanks for bringing the thread tightening problem up, the plastic is really cheap and if you turn the locking too hard you might end up with a broken device.
Thanks heaps! your a life saver!
Thanks a lot. It was as simple as pressing the test button for 10secs.
Wow…I was livid after running into this problem, could not figure it out. But thankfully I found this post before buying another unit. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you. I was wondering why only one of my Speed transmitters was able to fire my 430 EX II.
Thank a ton. I almost carried my flash units to the service centre before reading this.. You saved my shoot.
Thanks so much for the tip !!!! It saved me a lot of tome. Thanks for sharing the experience.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Like lots of other people here, you have saved me. Both of my triggers have failed at the last two weddings during the reception. I even had something shipped to me overnight thinking I needed a replacement of something. I have a job tomorrow and you have saved me.
Phew! The D-lights weren't triggering with the skyport, but were triggering fine if I set them off with the camera's flash, or if I pressed the flash test button on one light and thus triggered the other. Thanks for this – a long press on the Skyport's Test button resolved the issue.
Though, when you say "The problem was solved while reading the manual carefully, there is a "hidden" speed mode that is enabled by pressing the power button in 5 seconds." – by Power button you mean the "Test" button right ?
Yes, I will make this even clearer by using the correct name for the button, even if it powers on the transmitter.
I just had exactly the same problem and was about to throw it away and buy a new one when I decided to Google the problem and came across your recommendation. Thanks. You have saved me a lot of time and money.
Thanks! Me and a good friend of mine had this problem, coincidentally both at the same time. I was poised to buy a new transmitter when I came across this post. Thanks a lot.
In my case, it is not the trigger that does not functioning. I have the trigger that came with the BxRI kit and it trigger the BXRi units perfectly. It is not the "eco" version.
But I also bought "ELINCHROM Sync. Radio Skyport U Speed" to be attached two of my nikon speedlights. In the first few sessions, the two speedlights were triggered just fine. But recently, one of the Skyport-U stops functioning, then a few months later, another skyport-U stopped as well. Both still emit the light blinking perfectly, and I used always the same channels.
If someone can help, I would be grateful.
The product I meant above is the one on the left in this picture (the universal receiver), while the one on the right is the trigger that attach to my camera.
this universal receiver has a hidden sync mode to adjust the synchronization speed of the flash. It works similar as the ECO version, try hold the On/Off buttons 5 seconds to switch mode.
LED flashes once every 4 second for NORMAL mode and twice every 4 second for SPEED mode.
Remember to turn the unit off when the work is completed, the stand-by mode consumes more power than a complete turn off.
Note that the Li-Ion battery will discharge due to leakage if the unit is not used/recharged for a long time.
Unit will charge faster if turned off during recharge.
So Happy to find a solution.
Great post that solved my problem! I had the same issue and luckily I found this post before going out to buy new batteries or another trigger.
Thanks for posting this. This worked for me.
You ROCK! Just about to start a shoot when this happened. Tried new batteries. Freaked out. Ran across this post. THANK YOU!
Thanks a million. Very helpful.
omg. what would I do without google. THANK YOU!! was about to order a new one… sheesh.
Excellent!!!!! I'd just got this problem and solved it this way. THANK YOU A LOT OF LOTS!!!
Thank you very much! This was very helpful!!
It helped me a ton, dude!
thank you!!! Hopefully the reset works! I left my studio and just brought home the skyport – Should the Channels both be set in the down position? I have never looked at them before this issue with the sky port not firing the lights.
Hi Anne, channel-settings does not matter for reset, but has to be correct for flashing.
Knowing this can solve problems when you are not triggering you flash.
Press and hold the "Test" button for 10 Seconds to reset the trigger to factory defaults. switch to Speed mode by holding TEST button for 5 seconds.
This has cause lots of photographers problems because the trigger is so simple to use, and who reads the instructions….
Tack. Detta var panikartat när blixtarna inte fungerade idag. Efter lite googling kom jag fram till din lösning.
Thanks heaps man, I thought the damn battery was empty. Then I thought the device was broken. Then I found this.
Great post – thank you so much.
Thanks a MILLION…thought I was going crazy!!!
Thank you so much! I help me a lot!
Really thanks! you saved me!
Thank you so much for this helpful advice. You went round the houses trying to solve your problem with the transmittor, but you have undoubtedly saved many a photographer massive amounts of stress and probable cost by posting this solution.
Thank you very much! All working fine again now!
Thank you for the information……my trigger is working properly.
I'm very grateful for this post (and that it's still up)! I teach high school photography and both of our triggers stopped working just before a bunch of our studio projects were to begin, so this was a real lifesaver for us.

Social security under threat
Uwe Kerkow
Social Watch Germany
Since public funds are tight, due not only to the country's sluggish economic performance but also to a drop in revenue following the introduction of tax reforms, the Federal Government seems determined to initiate a phase of more rapid cuts in welfare spending. Although economic and social insecurity that threatens livelihood will be the exception, a growing number of Germans will experience social exclusion and unpredictability in planning for the future.
Social security for the unemployed
Germany's public funds are tight as a result of its sluggish economic performance and a self-imposed drop in revenue following the introduction of tax reforms, which mainly ease the burden on individuals in medium and high income groups. Cuts are also being made in the Länder[1] and local authority budgets.
A particular cause for concern are the reforms to the labour market and wage replacement benefits. The changes agreed in December 2003 aim to reduce the unemployment benefit entitlement period and combine unemployment benefit and social assistance. In addition, jobless people will be obliged to accept any kind of work - even (part-time) jobs which are low-paid and therefore not liable for social insurance contributions.
The German Trade Union Confederation (DGB) sums up the situation thus: "The pressure on the unemployed and disadvantaged to accept any job is increasing." According to the DGB, unemployment benefit is falling anyway, so there is no need for any additional tightening of the legal criteria governing job acceptance. "This applies especially to jobs that do not offer social insurance protection." On the other hand, almost any kind of (pseudo-) self-employment is encouraged by the Government. As the trade unions have remarked: "Redistribution is continuing - from bottom to top."[2]
The Diakonisches Werk, the German Protestant Church's organisation for welfare and social work, also anticipates drastic cuts for the individuals affected. In its view, the new austerity trend marks a final shift away from the principle that publicly funded social benefits should be sufficient to meet claimants' needs. The Presidents of Caritas Germany[3] and the Diakonisches Werk conclude: "So far, all that is evident is a process of social exclusion. The cuts are directed primarily and to a substantial extent against the long-term unemployed without significantly affecting other population groups, yet they do not achieve any improvement in integration into the labour market. This course should not be pursued further under any circumstances."
The few positive social trends experienced in recent years are being reversed by the cuts. For example, experts are concerned that the number of homeless will start to rise again. Since 1995, the number of homeless has almost halved overall, as the Working Group on Assistance to the Homeless (Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft Wohnungslosenhilfe - BAGW) reports on its web site.[4] It is estimated that 400,000 people were homeless in Germany in 2002, with around 20,000 of them living permanently on the streets. If these people are deprived of essential social services in future, their human security will be directly threatened.
The anti-globalisation network Association for the Taxation of Financial Transactions for the Aid of Citizens (ATTAC) describes the effects of the tax and labour market reforms as catastrophic. The new rules "force jobless people into poverty and substantially expand the low-wage sector", resulting in "coercion to work" and "working poor". According to ATTAC, it is "still only the elderly, the poor, the sick and the jobless" who bear the financial brunt of the reforms. ATTAC says that because the Government continues to ignore the massive protests against the swingeing social cuts, resistance will continue to grow.
In a timely prediction at Christmas, the German Society for the Protection of Children revealed what the reforms mean in statistical terms. Currently, around one million children in Germany live in (relative) poverty. The Society fears that if unemployment benefit and social assistance are combined, this figure will rise to 1.4 million.[5]
The changing nature of pension provision
The annual adjustment of pensions in line with wage development, which also serves to offset inflation, will be reduced yet again through the introduction of a so-called "permanence factor". This factor will be used to adjust - in other words, reduce - pension levels for the growing number of pensioners expected in future. Overall, the Diakonisches Werk warns about the growing burdens on low-income pensioners.[6] It fears that the level of poverty affecting the elderly - currently still below average - will increase over the medium term.
In view of the de facto cuts in pension provision - among other things, pensioners will have to manage without any increase in their pensions in 2003-2004 - the DGB highlights the lack of dependability in the system. In order to guarantee the necessary dependability now and in future, the aim must be to establish a "binding pension level which cannot be undercut. Yet the Federal Government is proposing to abolish the benefits target (currently 67% of income) entirely." As a result, the DGB argues, "the permanence factor" and taxation of pensions "will jeopardise the function of pensions insurance in the long term".[7]
Health care: an excessive burden for the poor and disabled
The Diakonisches Werk anticipates major additional burdens for all persons insured under the statutory health insurance scheme - including social assistance claimants - following the introduction of new health reforms. They include higher co-payments towards the cost of drugs and for hospitalisation and spa treatment as well as contributions towards the costs of visits to the doctor; in addition, dentures will now have to be paid for entirely by the patient.
In a provisional statement on the draft law to modernise the health system, the Diakonisches Werk points out, among other things, that increased co-payments will in some cases "impose an excessive burden on poor, chronically sick and disabled people".
And the 2003 Annual Report of the Diakonisches Werk notes: "With all its different rules on co-payments and its financial impacts, the draft law further undermines solidarity in healthcare. Some individuals who are particularly affected by poor health are being systematically excluded."[8]
There are alternatives to the current misery in the health system. One idea, which is not new, is the concept of "citizens' health insurance", which has now re-emerged as a topical issue in the debate. Here, the aim is to oblige all citizens, as far as possible, to pay into the statutory health insurance scheme (GSV). This primarily targets civil servants, who do not contribute to the statutory health insurance scheme, and the self-employed and persons with a higher income who have private health insurance.
Social infrastructure: savings across the board
With its package of measures entitled "A Secure Future", the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) Government of Hesse[9] has announced an austerity package which aims to save more than EUR 1 billion (USD 1.22 billion) in 2004.
The "Keep Hesse Social!" appeal - drafted by academics and social work practitioners in protest at the "swingeing cuts in the social budget" - identifies the social services which will fall victim to the cuts because Hesse has no legal obligation to deliver them. It claims that the threatened under-provision will affect the traditional marginal groups in society first of all: "For example, homeless people will have no professional support in future. But the cuts will also affect services for citizens who are experiencing short-term financial problems (such as debt) or who have psychosocial needs (e.g. families facing difficulties bringing up their children)."
No basic rights for migrants
The majority of migrants living in Germany - despite many years of residence - do not enjoy permanent residence status. Furthermore, more than 260,000 are reliant on a status known as "temporary suspension of deportation", which means that they can be deported at any time. The latter group's deprivation of rights effectively precludes any human security.
The trade unions want immigrants who have lived in Germany for more than five years to be granted "a settlement permit" irrespective of their legal status. Furthermore, "the settlement or residence permit must include equal access to the labour market."
The DGB takes the view that Germany has a responsibility to grant protection to people fleeing from wars and civil wars or political persecution. In its opinion, the current rules and legal status of refugees often lead to treatment which is incompatible with human dignity. The DGB is therefore calling for "the adoption, without restriction, of the provisions of the Geneva Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, including the recognition of persons subject to non-governmental or gender-specific persecution as entitled to protection." The blanket ban on work should be abolished. Germany must also withdraw its reservations about the application of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.[10]
No breakthrough in development policy
With regard to development policy, there is currently no apparent change in direction that would hint at a fundamental reappraisal of this policy area. There is considerable doubt whether the Federal Government can still achieve its self-proclaimed target of boosting the development aid budget to 0.33% of GNP by 2006. The development agencies Terre des Hommes and German Agro Action assess the situation in their report, entitled "The Reality of Development Aid: Eleventh Report 2002/2003"[11], as follows: "If the quota of 0.33% became reality in 2006, Germany would thus return to the level already achieved in 1977 and 1994. If the increase continued at the same rate, by 2020 we would have made good the decrease which has occurred since 1983. A "real" increase could only be achieved after that, and if the trend continued, the international target of 0.7% would not be reached until 2043."
The Church Development Service (EED) - an association of Protestant Churches in Germany - and Misereor - an organisation of the Catholic Church - voiced their criticism of the 2004 budget in a joint press release: "The Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) has been allocated a total of EUR 3.78 billion (USD 4.6 billion) for 2004." However, out of this amount, funds have to be paid over to other ministries. "Furthermore, savings equating to a global spending cut of EUR 39 million (USD 47.48 million) have been imposed on the BMZ. This means that in effect, the BMZ has just EUR 3.66 billion (USD 4.46 billion) left - EUR 9 million (USD 10.96 million) less than in 2000, when development spending fell to an all-time low."[12]
Following the recent decision to mobilise funds from the European Development Fund (EDF) for a Peace Facility (PF) in Africa, even the Minister for Development Cooperation, Heidemarie Wieczorek-Zeul, warns that: "...resources allocated to combating poverty must not be used for other purposes. Additional funds must be made available for new tasks."
In the shadow of military intervention
In their position paper entitled "Development policy: In the Shadow of Military Intervention?" published in July 2003, the Churches' relief agencies expressed their concern that the lines between development co-operation, humanitarian aid and military spending are becoming increasingly blurred and that the resources for human security in developing countries could steadily diminish. In particular, they voiced the following concerns:
· Development policy is being "planned strategically from the outset as a means of dealing with the consequences of intervention and indirectly funding the costs of war, and is supposed to rebuild infrastructure destroyed by war (e.g. in Afghanistan and Iraq). In some cases, development assistance and humanitarian aid are also subject to direct attempts to impose conditionality and control.
· At the same time, this may result in changes to long-term (e.g. regional) priorities and commitments in development policy in favour of high-profile 'reconstruction' or even putative crisis prevention in potential regions of tension (e.g. Iran).
· Finally (…) more and more resources and public attention are being diverted away from long-term development processes towards humanitarian relief."

Q: Finding the nearest point to the centroid of the polygons I want to find the nearest point/station to the centroid of each polygons.
I have a sf object called regions containing 4 polygons and another sf object called stations_sf containing station points.
If I plot the points on the polygons, it seems I got a pretty nearest point to the centroid of each polygon (see the image below). However, the problem is that I got the same point M15 for each of three polygons when I printed np in the code below, while I was expecting to get a different point for each of the polygons as many stations are scattered within the polygons.
Any thoughts, please?

A: The coordinates you provided in stations are clearly not projected ones. I'll just assume that they are given in EPSG: 4326 because the range seems plausible for north-western Malaysia. So you need to set a proper definition as a starting point and reproject to EPSG: 24547 subsequently making use of st_transform():
library(sf)
#> Linking to GEOS 3.9.3, GDAL 3.5.2, PROJ 8.2.1; sf_use_s2() is TRUE
library(ggplot2)

stations_sf <- st_as_sf(stations, coords = c("X","Y"), crs = "EPSG:4326") |>
  st_transform("EPSG:24547")

regions <- st_read("regions.shp")

# calc centroids
regions_centr <- st_centroid(regions)

So far, the result looks fine, so let's proceed with nearest neighbour estimation:
# find the nearest neighbour to the centroid of the each polygon
stations_nn <- stations_sf[st_nearest_feature(regions_centr, stations_sf),]

# inspect
ggplot() +
  geom_sf(data = regions, color = 'black') +
  geom_sf(data = stations_sf, color = 'grey') +
  geom_sf(data = regions_centr, color = 'red') +
  geom_sf(data = stations_nn, color = 'blue')

Et voilà: Out of all the stations (grey), the nearest stations to your polygon centroids (red), have been correctly identified (blue).

Faith leaders urge Trump against waging war with Iran
US President told to end 'harsh and punitive' trade sanctions against Iran

Two Catholic bishops in the United States are among some 200 faith leaders calling on President Donald Trump to pursue diplomacy to resolve conflicts with Iran.
Bishop John E. Stowe of Lexington, Kentucky, president of Pax Christi USA, and Bishop Marc Stenger of Troyes, France, co-president of Pax Christi International, were among signatories to a statement released July 8.
The statement was developed by the National Council of Churches and Sojourners, a Washington-based Christian organization that addresses social justice concerns.
"A United States war with Iran would be an unmitigated disaster, morally and religiously indefensible; U.S. faith leaders must be among the first to rise up, say 'No!' -- and call for better, more effective and life-saving ways forward," the statement said.
"It is time for leaders from our faith communities to point to more effective ways to transform conflict and to speak strongly against military action that could have enormous human and financial costs, and which could easily and broadly escalate," it read.
Faith leaders also urged Trump to end "harsh and punitive" trade sanctions against Iran.
Tensions between the United States and Iran heightened in May and June as several oil tankers were attacked in the Gulf of Oman. Trump immediately accused Iran for the attacks.
Economic and trade sanctions were recently imposed on Iran by the Trump administration after it withdrew the United States from a multilateral agreement that limits the ability of Iran to develop nuclear weapons.

The former attorney general is challenging the Republican governor's antidemocratic refusal to call special elections.
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's refusal to hold special elections to fill vacant state-legislative seats will be challenged in the courts by former US attorney general Eric Holder and the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC).
Marc Elias, one of the nation's most prominent legal experts on elections, is a member of the foundation's legal team.
Scott Walker is one of a number of Republican governors who this year have refused to call special elections for legislative seats Republicans might lose.
Walker, who was stung in January of this year by a special-election result that saw a historically Republican State Senate seat won by a Democrat, appointed Republican State Senator Frank Lasee and Republican State Representative Keith Ripp to posts in his administration last December. Since then, he has stubbornly refused to call special elections to fill the seats—arguing that voters should not be given a say until the regularly scheduled election in November.
Wisconsin statutes say that vacant legislative seats "shall be filled as promptly as possible by special election." While Walker's aides and allies had tried to claim he had leeway because of statute language regarding the close of the regular floor period of the legislature and special sessions, those arguments crumbled as the legislature has continued to meet and act on major welfare-reform and criminal-justice-reform issues.
The governor's antidemocratic stance, which has been criticized as an attempt by Walker to prevent Republican special-election losses that might embarrass his party and undermine his own 2018 reelection run, threatens to leave almost 230,000 Wisconsinites unrepresented for the better part of a year. It was the subject of an investigation by The Nation into the refusal of Republican governors to call special elections for legislative seats in the swing states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Florida, and for a US house seat in Michigan, that was published in the current issue of the magazine.
Now, however, Walker has another reason to be running scared. His attempt to play politics with representative democracy could well be upset by the courts.


"OMG we smell like fertilizer!!!"
I can't recall what we were overreacting about in this photo, but the caption suits it! Steph and I are total drama queens.
I didn't even notice this sign, Dondi was able to capture it. Get a guide or you're sure to get lost!
I always have this type of photo wherein a friend is assisting the elderly.
I look decent in photo ops but in reality, it's a nose-flaring experience.
Tryin to werq as we reached the summit!
We came all the way here for some coconut juice!
This stuff works. Shared this with the rest and only those who applied it were saved from looking like lechons.
We took a chance and decided to head to Nasugbu, Batangas last Saturday even if the weather in Manila was horrible. We decided that we could always stay and chill in Tagaytay if the weather wouldn't permit us to climb that day. As we were nearing Batangas the skies were bright and clear so we asked some locals for directions (our unpreparedness for these trips deserves an award in itself). A few missed turns and we reached the starting point where we hired a young guide that agreed to a fee of Php 400 (read somewhere that these fees helped send them to school). This proved to be a good move since unlike our last hike (Mt. Pico de Loro), there weren't a lot of markings and there were so many diverging routes.
The trek to the summit was about 3 hours long. We spent about 30 minutes at the peak, enjoying fresh buko juice and taking photos, before descending and reaching our starting point in 3 hours. It took us less than 7 hours to climb and get back to our car, and we were glad that despite arriving late (got there at 10:30 AM) we were able to drive back to Manila a few hours before sundown.
Mountaineers' accounts online state that this was the same level as Pico, but throughout the hike & climb we kept commenting that it was slightly easier. It was Dondi's first time to climb and during the first 10 minutes he kept asking if the path was going to be as wide all throughout, but as we kept going he commented that they were indeed getting narrower. It got to a point where the paths were less than a foot across, and the ravines would make your knees shake once you stop to look at your side.
• It's a bit harder to go down because of the loose rocks. It's important to wear the right shoes or have a trekking pole to assist you if you're not that accustomed to these things yet.
• There aren't a lot of trees to serve as shade so wear a hat! My scalp is sunburnt since I forgot to bring one and an umbrella.
• You can buy buko juice / soda / beer / halo halo at most of the stops, but they don't have water! Bring a lot of water with you.
• Registration fee is just Php 40 and you can also camp for a fee.
• Pace yourself. Javy had a brilliant way to conserve his energy- he'd stop at the windy spots and then run to catch up when we were already far away from him.
• Sunblock, salt (for cramps), first aid kit, water, scarf/hat, sunglasses.
• Some plants have sharp edges and we got cuts all over so it's better to wear something that can cover your legs and arms. There are lots of bugs, too!
Overall it was a really fun climb and I am having climbing withdrawals, it's insane! I can't wait for the next trip! We learn a lot from each one since they're never the same, and you can never be too prepared. It's challenging psychologically as it is physically.
We do it for the view-- nothing beats a 360 from the summit!
Is this via old trail? Bakit P40 reg fee niyo?
These pictures are gorgeous! Kudos to you for doing such a crazy hike while in style.
I did have a question, what photo editing app did you use?

What Education Do You Need to Become a Master Chef?
/ What Education Do You Need to Become a Master Chef?
Since cooking is one of the few occupations where one can get most of his training on the job, it is often favorable for an aspiring chef to work as a kitchen staff and gain practical or actual experience in a real world commercial kitchen. Most successful chefs according to study, are always eager to learn about food, they love the kitchen, and take advantage of opportunities offered by the kitchen to develop the skills and personality of a great chef. For example, the ability to think clearly, stay focused, and make quick decisions at a fast pace, demanding, and noisy environment are characteristics of a great chef progressively developed in the kitchen.
Practical skills and experience are a tacit knowledge that is unique and difficult to imitate. It is the source of differentiation and competitive advantage that allows an individual to innovate, add value, ensure accuracy, and product quality. Expert chefs with significant tacit knowledge are capable of preparing any meal without consulting a cookbook because they have years of practical cooking experience. Moreover, expert chefs with sufficient practical experience are already accustomed to the taste, texture, color, and aroma of a particular meal and therefore able to mix ingredients without measuring devices and cook delicious meals without cooking timers.
Some Master Chef's cooking skills are not only developed through years of practical experience but formal culinary education. The reason is that most Certification Standards for chefs performing in the executive and master level are based on experience and formal education. An aspiring chef, therefore, regardless of years of practical experience must obtain formal culinary education before he or she can be certified and land a job in better restaurants or hotels with high hiring standards.
Some known advantage of having a degree or certificate from a professional and reputable culinary school is increased potential in landing a job, gaining knowledge of different cooking methods, learning theoretical cooking techniques from highly trained culinary school teachers, and getting certified in different areas of food education such as food preparation, food science, and food studies. Formal culinary education can also help aspiring chefs to experience and appreciate team building and develop a personal discipline that will set them apart from others. This discipline can help them keep everything in perspective; make them better employees and a great leader to other chefs.
It is important to remember that although advantageous, the need to go to formal culinary school depends entirely on the job you want to pursue. For instance, chef levels with relatively little responsibility do not need formal education as they can land a job in school, hospital, and other institutions that only require high school diploma and adequate restaurant experience.

Crosby, fills and Bush: The Warehouse at 35
Jon Chapple catchs up with new Warehouse MD Derek Blair as the Edinburgh sales and hire company celebrates 35 years in business
Jon Chapple ⋅ Jul 3, 2015
Not many companies can lay claim to having supplied audio equipment to Muse, Walt Disney Studios, the Edinburgh International Festival and Her Majesty The Queen – but then Leith-based The Warehouse Sound Services is not many companies.
The Warehouse was founded in February 1980 by Cameron Crosby – a veteran of the Grateful Dead's 1978 shows at the pyramids of Giza and Kate Bush's The Tour of Life, for which he designed her now-famous headset mic – and Allan Brereton – a freelancer, along with Crosby, for The Who's ML Executives hire company. The business, reportedly the largest supplier of pro-audio equipment in Scotland and the north of England, turned 35 last month – a remarkable achievement, says new owner Derek Blair, especially considering it still has "quite a few customers that have been with us from the [very] start". (The Argyll Street HQ is pictured.)
Sales director-turned-managing director Blair, who completed a management buyout in March, has been with the company since 1994 (although "I had known Cameron since my school days as I used to hire equipment from The Warehouse for school shows," he explains) and plans now "to boost turnover with expansion into new market sectors and the addition of a third branch in the near future".
"About five years ago Cameron, Allan and myself [pictured, L–R] sat down and looked at how the company would go forward when they both retired," he says, commenting on the background to the acquisition. "At this point I said that I would like to buy them out, as I didn't want to work for anyone else. Over the next three years we started to look at how the three of us would devolve our roles to other people within the business, as well as look at any skills shortages [that might occur following their retirement]."
Comprising sales and hire businesses, as well as The Justin Case [flightcase] Company, The Warehouse is – along with SSE – one of only two British d&b sales partners, and was responsible for the UK's first d&b install, at the Eden Court Theatre in Inverness, in 1993.
Outlining the relationship between the two companies, Blair explains: "About 25 years ago Simon Johnston, who is a friend of Cameron's, came to see him to demo some loudspeakers he'd never heard of. At this time we had Meyer, Turbosound, EAW and Bose in our hire stock. Three years later Cameron designed the new sound system at Eden Court Theatre in Inverness with d&b loudspeakers and amplifiers – the first installation of d&b in the UK.
"When I joined The Warehouse in 1994 I was presented with d&b, as we were a dealer. I had very little knowledge of this brand and products – I thought it would be very difficult to sell because you had to sell a system with d&b amplifiers. Up to this point I had been selling Bose and Turbosound using different brands of amplifiers [and] felt that the mass market wouldn't take to being told they had to buy d&b amplifiers as well as loudspeakers, especially as most hire companies would already have an existing inventory of other amplifiers. How wrong I was: d&b is by far our largest-selling brand and has been for more than 15 years."
Like Amber Sound's Graham Paddon ('Amber gambler', PSNEurope May 2015), The Warehouse wound down the installation side of its business when it realised it was competing with its customers. "Now we offer design, sales and sometimes commissioning services to these companies without competing against them for the same contracts. The same goes for other hire companies – we sell and hire equipment to some of the largest rental companies in the UK – again, we aren't competing against them."
Other equipment for sale ("one of the best product portfolios in the UK", says Blair) includes products by Avid, Audio-Technica, EM Acoustics, RCF, Midas, Yamaha, Shure, Sennheiser, König & Meyer and Klotz, while non-d&b hire stock comes in the form of L-Acoustics, RCF, Bose and EM Acoustics loudspeakers, Avid, DiGiCo, Midas and Yamaha digital desks and "over 1,500" Shure, Sennheiser, Audio-Technica, Neumann, Coles and DPA wired mics. (When asked for his opinion on the most exciting new products on the market, Blair chooses the Avid VENUE S6L and Yamaha TF Series mixers, d&b Y-Series speakers and Shure PSM300 IEM system.)
The company also specialises in high-end radio mic and communications systems – over 250 channels of Shure UHF-R are complemented by additional channels of Shure Axient, Lectrosonics and Wisycom and Sennheiser EW300, Shure PSM900 and Shure PSM1000 IEM systems.
The Warehouse's sales department, comprising "more than 50 per cent" of The Warehouse's turnover, sells nationwide to hire companies, installers and broadcasters, with the hire business focussing on dry hire and operator hire into to the broadcast, theatre, corporate and live sound markets. The company also has a royal warrant – as a sound equipment provider to HM The Queen – and a storied history in TV and film, including as a supplier to the BBC for over a quarter of a century.
Blair comments: "As a company we have always been heavily involved in film and television. Allan has worked on many feature films including Gregory's Girl, Local Hero, The Godfather Part III and The Commitments… the Shure 55SH microphone used in [Good Morning, Vietnam] and on the publicity material is owned by The Warehouse, as the prop department needed a microphone to use in the radio studio – [and] Cameron has worked on […] BBC Hogmanay Live, Dr Finlay's Casebook and Tonight's the Night, to name a few."
Although Blair admits that pro audio, especially in Scotland, is a "mature" industry. "When we started there were only about four [Scottish sales/hire] companies," he says. "Now there are now over 30." The new managing director has big plans for his 21st year at the business, including a new branch in England and expansion into the education/training sector and nightclub installs.
"We are looking very closely at the education market," he explains, "in terms of supplying equipment and services to aid the next generation of people who want to work in our industry. Another growing market is supplying the club installation market – not directly, but via the specialist companies that service this sector. We are currently in talks with some manufacturers who have products specifically targeted at this market."
"I think our success is very much down to having the right staff – some of whom have been with us for more than 20 years – [and] constantly look[ing] at what we offer our customers in terms of equipment and service," Blair concludes, when PSNEurope asks him for the secret to The Warehouse's success.
"We have grown organically, we've never overstretched ourselves in terms of resources – including financially – and have over the last 35 years built the business bit by bit by carefully developing client and supplier relationships."
Here's to the next 35 years.

If someone is poor, or on fixed income, the tithe may be a comparatively small one. Each gives according to his or her own ability. But it is not the size or greatness of the gift that makes the offering acceptable to God. It is, rather, the spirit in which the tithe is given, the gratitude and love that it expresses. Thus the gifts of the poor or the very young should not be made to feel as if their gifts are so small as to not be worthy of notice. Everyone gives according to his or her ability. After all, everyone is a servant of God. Everyone has received something from God. When that tithe is returned according to God's Biblical plan, that offering, as meager or as great as it may be, is wholly acceptable to God.
On the other hand, the one to whom God has entrusted a large amount of income, investments, inheritance or just abundant blessings should surely not be burdened by the plan to tithe. However, the reality of this world seems to be that the more one receives the more one is tempted to selfishness, to materialism, to acquisitiveness (the need to have more and more…) and to withhold from God that which is God's own.
God's Old Testmant people were sternly asked by the Prophet, "Will a man rob God?" How can humans rob God? The Prophet also gives the answer, "In your tithes and offerings." God's plan is simple and within the reach of everyone. Young or old. Rich or poor. Everyone.


From an online gaming perspective it's perfectly legal for Finnish players to wager at Finland's state-owned casinos or at offshore operators.
The nice bit for us is players don't have to be concerned that they'll be prosecuted by the law if they play at online casinos licensed elsewhere-they can simply sign up, deposit and play! In this article we're going to tell you more about our 'Best Finnish Casinos'.
When it comes to the legalities of online gambling in the country it's still pretty much a headache. Reason being it's currently locked in a battle with the EU since it intends on monopolizing the industry.
The government controlled the casino industry since the heydays of World War II and it's estimated that every 8 to 10 Finnish adults places a few bets at least once a week. A key component about the Finnish gambling industry is that all profits gained from it are reinvested back into society. Which explains why residents are more than happy to drop a few Euros at their favourite online casino.
In this section we've compiled a list of the best casinos for Finnish players. Before we continue we'd just like to point out that the there are currently three main bodies in the country that controls it: Fintoto Oy, Veikkaus and Ray.
Fintoto Oy looks after horse racing in the country and aims to develop the sport.
Veikkaus is responsible for the National Lottery and plows back all the cash gained from it into the Arts, science, culture and sport.
Ray takes care of land casinos, slots and table games.
For what it's worth there's another interesting body known as PAF, its sole responsibility it to regulate online casino gambling across the Aland Islands. The European Union notified the Finnish government that it must realign its current gambling laws so that it's more in line with that of the EUs-it refused.
The government, pretty much like Sweden's online casino monopoly said that it's perfectly happy to maintain the status quo and it keeps foreign based online casinos from setting up shop in the country. It said that it won't stop citizens from playing at online casinos licensed in other jurisdictions. Plus, it does not plan on blocking foreign websites' ISP's and will allow its banks to continue on processing online casino payments.
Offshore operators are not allowed to advertise their products in Finland, those found guilty will be slapped with hefty fines and the owners could even be sent to jail.
Even though our best Finnish casinos are licensed in the UK or in Malta they offer NetEnt, Microgaming, Yggdrasil, Quickspin and Play & Go games. The interesting bit is that the majority of them are Scandinavian software providers whose game libraries comprise of a slew of high resolution slots, blackjack, baccarat, craps, live dealer casinos, mobile casinos, keno, bingo, scratch cards and multi-million Euro progressive jackpots.
This is not all. It's pointless if an operator contains an array of games and it does not offer players any bonuses to play them. The good news is that all of our best Finnish casinos offer first time players a non-compulsory sign on bonus package coupled with free spins.
Their bonus terms are well within the industry standard and can be used to play slots, keno, bingo and scratch cards. So far so good, however, there's more! Once you've become a regular depositor you will receive comps every time you play, get cash back on your losses, receive reload bonuses, free spins and you can join the casino's rewards program that offers cracking incentives.
In terms of online transactions, players can use ewallets (Skrill, Neteller or Paysafecard), wire transfer, Bitcoin, credit and debit cards. Ewallet payments are cleared within 24 hours, Bitcoin within minutes, credit cards up to 3 business days and bank transfer takes 8 days.
Once the necessary verification documents such as a copy of your ID card, passport or drivers license, bank statement (not older than 2 months) and a utility bill is given your transaction will be processed. All progressive jackpot wins are paid in full too.
Finland's gambling industry yields approximately 1.7 billion Euros per year while it's estimated that 130 million Euros is spent at offshore online casinos. This is why foreign based companies want a piece of the pie but the government is not going to budge, or any time soon at least.
The Finnish gambling industry generates 1.7bn Euros per year, and estimates suggest that players spend approximately 130 million Euros per year with foreign operators. That's a small figure but the government are sufficiently worried about large foreign firms to consider changes to the law.
If there one thing we can learn from history is that a monopoly can never work, despite the government's best intentions many experts are of the opinion that it's not going to work.
Foreign based operators offer players better deals, diverse game libraries, excellent support and incentivized deals. We're sorry to say this it's become increasingly difficult for state-owned online casinos to compete with their foreign-based cousins.

Do the best weapon in the defense class if you have it does it work on defense and on Attack does the better attack weapon work? are they intercaangeable?
In terms of attacking PVP, the weapons/ armor with the best attack are taken into battle regardless of defense. Same thing goes for if you are being attacked except you take in your best defensive weapons/armor regardless of attack since you are only concerned with defensive stats.
So yes you can attack and defend both with armor and weapons if they have the best stats.
Thanks that explains every thing i needed to know.
