New Religious Liberty Fighter Emerges in Georgia

On Monday, Georgia Governor Nathan Deal vetoed the Free Exercise Protection Act, House Bill 757, following intense pressure and dishonest rhetoric from corporate bullies and the political left. Disney, Salesforce, and Apple all publicly criticized the bill, and corporate mainstays like Delta and Coca-Cola, through the business coalition Georgia Prospers, condemned the legislation and threatened punitive measures.
Ironically, these same corporations have, to date, expressed no reservations about making money in countries that put LGBT individuals to death.
But ultimately, Governor Deal caved. And Jane Robbins, a senior fellow at American Principles Project, told The Pulse 2016 that she is incredibly disappointed by Governor Deal's veto:
HB 757 is a reasonable bill that was crafted to address the concerns the Governor had previously expressed, while protecting Georgians of faith from government discrimination. Polling data shows overwhelming support for the bill from across the state. Two-thirds of Georgians support it, and even a majority of Democrats responded that they wanted the Governor to sign it. The bill passed overwhelmingly in both chambers of the Legislature.
But Governor Deal has chosen to disregard the desires of the vast majority of Georgians and their elected representatives. Instead, he is siding with the Hollywood lobby and corporate bullies who want to coerce Georgians into uniformity of belief on issues related to religious exercise. This position violates not only conservative principles, but American principles.
Robbins has been on the attack elsewhere, too.
From Conservative Review:
Some voices in the state have even called on Deal to reverse his decision in addition to pushing for an override, like Jane Robbins, a Georgian currently working as a senior fellow at the American Principles Project.
"We call on Governor Deal to reverse his shameful appeasement of leftist totalitarian interests and to sign HB 757. We further urge the Georgia legislature to override any veto of HB 757," Robbins said.
From WorldNetDaily:
Critics say it's no secret that Deal has been wooing the NFL to bring the Super Bowl to Atlanta in 2019 or 2020.
"Deal's goal is to get the Super Bowl and the Final Four. Nobody living outside of Atlanta gives two hoots about the Super Bowl but the corporations want it," said Jane Robbins, senior fellow at the American Principles Project and a native Georgian.
Robbins wondered if Deal would agree to limit the freedom of the press to get the Super Bowl in Atlanta. Or what about freedom of speech or the right to bear arms?
"Which of the Bill of Rights would he be willing to sell or trade away for the Super Bowl?" Robbins asks.
She said religious freedom advocates would not be putting this issue aside.
"The primaries are coming up at the end of May, so when voter guides come out, the candidates are going to have to answer, 'Will you vote to override Gov. Deal's veto of the religious liberty law?'
"So the governor thinks we can put this behind us now and move onto something else. Well, no. We're not giving up on this. If we have to bring it up every year, that's what we will do."
And from Fox Chattanooga:
ATLANTA, Ga. — On Tuesday morning, a group of leading pastors, ministers, nine faith groups and conservative organizations held a news conference at the Georgia State Capitol, slamming Governor Nathan Deal's decision to veto House Bill 757.
Watch Deal's full remarks here.
Several of the groups included American Principles Project, Citizen Impact, Faith and Freedom Coalition, Georgia Right to Life and Georgia Baptist Mission Board, among others.

Today we're back with the absolutely festive multicultural wedding of Sasha and Kabir, captured by their talented photographer, Harper Point Photography. Sasha and Kabir were married in an outdoor Hindu ceremony in Fort Collins, Colorado. The beautiful Russian bride, Sasha, totally embraced the essence of an Indian wedding by adorning exquisite mehndi on her hands, a traditional matha patti and necklace, as well as a patterned red lengha choli. Kabir matched his bride in a cream colored Achkin with red turban and white shades as they both rode into the ceremony together in a decorated white carriage- talk about a fairytale come true! Aside from the bride and groom, I need to give the best dressed award to Sasha and Kabir's dhol player- if that outfit doesn't put you in an immediate joyous mood I don't know what will!
Stay tuned after the pictures as Sasha and Kabir's wonderful event planner, Susan Cole, tells us how an 18th century gazebo was transformed into the mandap!
"The wedding ceremony took place in a mandap or wedding alter. In this case, an eighteenth century wrought iron gazebo was transformed for the event. It was decorated with a canopy, flowers, elegant gold and burgundy drapery and an 18k gold painting of Ganesha, the Hindu god of wisdom and salvation. Custom designed mandap furniture and four chori represented North, South, East and West. In the center was a sacred fire (Agni) which received holy offerings. An ancient ceremony performed by a priest in Sanskrit ensued."
Stay tuned, we'll be back with Part 2 in just a bit!

Released 19th July PRE-ORDER NOW
Always perfectly capturing the zeitgeist, Darren Hayman releases his 18th solo album, 12 Astronauts, on the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing
12 men have walked on the moon, and 12 Astronauts includes a song for each of them – from Neil Armstrong to Harrison Schmitt and Gene Cernan (the Apollo 17 astronauts who quibble about who was the last man on the moon – was it the last person to set foot on the moon (Schmitt) or the last person to take his foot off the moon (Cernan))
Darren has always had an interest in space travel;
o In 1977 he saw Star Wars
o Back in 2001 Hefner (Darren Hayman's previous band) released a single called Alan Bean about the 4th man on the moon (an all new version is included on 12 Astronauts).
o In 2011 he contributed songs and pictures to Vostok 5, a London exhibition (and compilation album) about people and animals in space (he has also illustrated the cover of 12 Astronauts).
o In March 2014, as part of a year-long residency at Dalston's Vortex, he played a set of his space-related songs supported by Robin Ince (this included the live debut of a number of tracks from 12 Astronauts).
o His record label, 'Belka', is named for one of the first two dogs to go into earth orbit and return alive, so it should come as no surprise that the 12 Astronauts were in the back of his mind while he researched, wrote and recorded his classics about Thankful Villages, the Essex Witch Trials, Lidos, William Morris and British seaside resorts
The songs are works of historical fiction. Although Darren researched heavily he is essentially imagining himself as each astronaut and singing in the first person. The songs are not all set during the Apollo missions. Buzz Aldrin battles with his demons and fights for his marriage. Pete Conrad sympathises with his partner's fear of an accident in flight. David Scott wonders what happened to his bodyguard on his press tour. Gene Cernan lists every object he can think of that was left on the moon.
Although the subject is big Darren has always written songs about small things and this album is no different. Darren collects together tiny moments from magnificent lives.'
The album itself is curious in its genesis as Darren conceived and started the album back in 2008 and only recently came back to complete it. Some of the vocals are recorded 10 years apart.
The album is released on space coloured vinyl (in spot-gloss sleeve), CD (with fully illustrated booklet), download and as a set of 12 collectors cards.

Released on 9 November, to coincide with the hundredth anniversary of the end of the First World War, Thankful Villages Volume 3 is the final instalment of Darren Hayman's epic study of rural British life.
A 'Thankful Village' is one where every soldier returned alive from the Great War. Darren has visited all 54 of these villages and made a sound recording, painting and film in each one.
Thankful Villages doesn't concern itself exclusively with the War, however. It is an exploration of rural communities, including collected stories, interviews, folk songs, soundscapes, field recordings and new original songs.
The record takes the form of a fantastical radio show as Darren unearths lost human stories from hidden rural idylls.
The first volume of Thankful Villages revolved around a theme of churches, while the second volume focused on rivers. This third chapter concerns itself with the younger generation. In Hunstanworth, County Durham, Darren records a young girl called Ruby reading a poem written by her grandmother in 1974, on the day of that village's school closing. The school itself is still signposted by the Giant's Stride, a Victorian playground apparatus that towers above the village and features on the cover of Thankful Villages Volume 3.
CD artwork differs from vinyl
In Wysall in Nottinghamshire, Darren finds lost cine film of the village shot by two sisters, locally known as 'the Miss Evans' and unseen for decades. Julia relates a poignant memory of the closing the village school she went to as a pupil, and how in winter the children warmed themselves around the single stove in the middle of the sole classroom.
In the village of Teigh in the county of Rutland, we hear Sally Beers tell us about her grandfather, the Rev Henry Tibbs, who was arrested and jailed for being a Nazi sympathiser during the Second World war; we learn about mysterious lights in the church and swastikas painted on the door of the vicarage. The soundtrack to this story is in collaboration with the esteemed film composer Simon Fisher Turner.
Since the dissolution of his first band, Hefner, Darren Hayman's work has increasingly explored location and history. Thankful Villages Volume 3 is the beautiful and poignant culmination of this process; tiny, human vignettes plucked from Britain's blanket of green.
Thankful Villages Volume 3 was completed with generous funding from the Arts Council of England. Darren was awarded with the 'Hardest Working Artist' gong by the Association of Independent Music for his work on Thankful Villages Volume 1.
Previous volumes of Thankful Villages have been extensively covered in features in the Financial Times, The Guardian, The i and the New York Times. Darren has appeared as a guest discussing the Thankful Villages project on BBC Radio 4's PM and Loose Ends, and The Verb on Radio 3.
He has filmed a segment about Thankful Villages for a documentary to be shown on ITV on 11 November. He is available to write and talk as a musical guest and also as a historical expert on the subject of Thankful Villages and British rural life.
Praise for Thankful Villages:
"Enchanting and oh so English in execution and eccentricity." fRoots
"An intoxicating collection of folk songs, dreamy instrumentals and poignant interviews set to music, layered with sounds harvested from his visits." The Financial Times
"Listening to Thankful Villages is to hear a range of stories stretching across history." The Independent i
"The project resembles a fascinating, occult history of the British countryside, filled with largely forgotten rural stories." The Guardian

This 77 minute piece of music was written for an exhibition by artist and sculptor Finn Thomson. Thomson was artist in residence in Harlow, new town, the subject of Darren's album 'Pram Town'.
Thomson's work deals with people's reading of public sculpture and he commissioned Darren to provide some music for the installation.
Darren constructed this music out of found sounds in Harlow. The centre of which is a beep emanating from a closed BHS. The piece stand as some kind of updating or sister piece to Pram Town.
We really only have about ten of these and aren't sure if we can get more. Order quick!

(Papernut Cambridge is a band in which Darren plays drums, bass, keyboards and saxophone in).
Here Ian Button returns with a core of Papernut regulars plus additional friends and collaborators, and perhaps the most introspective and direct Papernut Cambridge album so far. There's both flippancy and openness here in a set of songs that mix topics such as self doubt in love, agoraphobia, stealing a dog from Battersea Dogs' Home, St Peter's admin troubles in Heaven, father-to-son advice and more. There's fun, hooks and tunes…but also mortality……stoicism….a kind of spirituality…….all set against music and arrangements that span sunshine guitar pop, Hunky Dory-esque piano flourishes, tearful pub ballads, baggy country glam, even psych boogie woogie.
Outstairs Instairs takes its title from inventor/architect Richard Buckminster Fuller's idea for a more astronomically accurate way of describing going up or down stairs i.e. outwards from the centre of the earth, or inwards towards it. On the vinyl version, side one plays from the centre outwards, side two from the outside in.
12″ vinyl LP pressed on 140g black vinyl. Side A is an INSIDE OUT cut (plays from the centre label outwards), and side B is cut normally. The LP comes in a brown paper inner sleeve and reverse board outer sleeve (green artwork) with an A4 card lyrics insert.
Includes a CD version of the album.

The Hayman Kupa Band Album
Posted on 22nd July 2017 11th August 2018 by darren
Gathering together a rhythm section consisting of Michael Wood (Whoa Melodic/Singing Adams) on bass and Cat Loye (Fever Dream) on drums, The Hayman Kupa band create brash, bold and effortlessly melodic power pop. Sharing writing duties and sometimes singing each other's words, lines are blurred and creativity explored in a wonderfully exuberant collection of songs. The album, recorded in three days at Big Jelly Studios in Ramsgate, is an exploration of relationships and, at its heart, it's the sound of a friendship being made.
Darren explains more about the collaboration and how they got the band together:
It's only happened a few times but just once or twice I have seen someone on stage and thought, "I want to be in a band with them." But I thought it the first time I saw Emma playing with her magnificent and under-rated band Standard Fare.
I met her properly a little later in Sheffield when we played together. Before the gig I said I was suspicious of bands that wore hats. She wore a hat on stage.
They say imitation is a form of flattery and I was glad that I noticed when I wrote the song "Boy, Look at What you Can't Have Now" that it sounded like the sort of thing Emma might write. I covered up my theft by asking her to sing on it.
When we were recording the song I suggested that we should write a whole album of duets. Musicians suggest things like this all the time because they are stupid or drunk. A few months later Emma told me she had started writing the album. This is what Emma does; she says something then does it. I race to play catch up.
The songs were written over three weekends at her house and mine. Co-writing is something I'm not used to. It's very intimate and me and Emma became friends through the process. Emma's lyrics are sharp and precise whereas mine are more metaphoric. It was lovely seeing how quickly we settled into something in between. We talked about relationships and that's what the album is about. It's about our fears and paranoias and the search for trust and love. We deliberately swapped lines and genders so the narrative is never truly that of traditional duets. I sing Emma's lines often and she sings mine. It's two voices singing the results of our conversations. We became close friends whilst writing these songs.
We wanted a band to make the album and chose Michael Wood and Cat Loye. We never considered anyone else. They brought a brash, bold sound to the songs and we rehearsed twice and then recorded the album in three days at the Big Jelly studios in Ramsgate.
I was thinking about the Beatles and very early 1960s pop records. We recorded everything live including the vocals with only a handful of overdubs. We put a microphone high up in the ceiling to get bright, rackety sound and mixed it in mono.
We recorded it two and a half years ago and it has remind locked like a time capsule whilst me and Emma released five other albums.
I like this album a lot. It's the sound of a friendship being made.

English songwriter and former Hefner frontman Darren Hayman continues his journey around the United Kingdom's 54 Thankful Villages. A Thankful Village is a village where every soldier returned alive from World War One.
An ongoing and hugely ambitious folk project, Thankful Villages is only partially concerned with the war itself, moreover it is a celebration of British rural life. Darren pulls together first person interviews, folk tales and songs, field recordings and his own personal experiences to create a vast patchwork depicting community, history and legend.
Thankful Villages Volume 2 is less an album but something akin to an arcane musical radio documentary. The success of the first volume of Thankful Villages has encouraged Hayman to go deeper into his subject. Themes of "the river" and "death" weave their way through these eighteen villages. A centuries old drowning is uncovered in "Arkholme" on bonfire night. Dennis, the river man, tells us of a tragedy on the Weir in "Cromwell". Judy Dyble, the original singer of folk legends Fairport Convention, joins Darren in the village of "Upper Slaughter" and sings a lyric about the generations flowing like water through the village.
Darren uncovers two World War II air disasters in "Woodend" and "Wrigsley", where he records in the abandoned control tower at the airfield, the so-called cemetery of lights. Perhaps the most shocking and miraculous of tales is found in "Flixborough" where in 1974 the local plastics factory exploded killing everyone inside but nobody in the lucky village. Derek and his son tell us the story of finding each other amongst shards of glass.
However, glimpses of light shine through the darkness; a sunny day of wild swimming in "Telisford", a village fete with bell ringing in "East Norton" and a tale of a grateful Belgian Refugee in "Norton Le Clay".
Thankful Villages Volume 1 garnered a great deal of media attention, with features in broadsheets including The Guardian, Financial Times, The Independent and The i Paper. Darren also appeared on The Verb with Ian Mcmillan, Loose Ends and interviewed for a feature on Radio 4's PM programme.
Darren played special concerts around the release, doing a rendition of his Thankful Villages set with accompanying visuals and films, headlining with a full band as well as solo supporting British Sea Power. A collage of Britain's hidden places, rich in history and community, Thankful Villages is a further chapter in Darren's journey and a testament to his remarkable work ethic.
In 2016 Darren was awarded the title of 'Hardest Working Artist' at the AIM Awards for the Thankful Villages project and his prolific career.
Thankful Villages Volume 3, which will appear in November 2018, has been given funding by the Arts Council.

Three persons have lost their lives in a ghastly car accident that occurred along the Santchou- Nkongsong Highway.
The victims were travelling from Bamenda to Buea by a Grand Jeannot bus on Monday May 1, when their bus had a head-on collision with an Amour-Mezam bus.
According to reports, one of the buses was struggling to avoid running into a truck that had a breakdown and was in the middle of the road.
The Buea Branch Manager of Grand Jeannot Agency, Sam Azuah, recounted: "I was not at the scene, so I don't know exactly what happened. I just heard that the two vehicles collided. I was called by a passenger at about 1.40am. After the call, I left my house, went to my station and took a 30-seater bus and headed to Santchou where the incident had occurred and by 7.00am, I arrived the scene.
"I lost my driver; Blaisius Pinata aka Blaiso and another passenger on board whom we are still to identify. The other person who died was in the Amour-Mezam bus.
During the entire process, many people boarded private cars to continue their journey. For those who were hospitalised, I went to the various hospitals and paid their first aid bills. Some casualties, about 13 of them, were ferried to the Santchou District Hospital. Amongst them were two persons with fractured legs. 12 victims were equally taken to a Protestant Hospital at Lelem, while some others are at the Buea,Limbe and Bamenda Regional Hospitals.
According to Azuah, a total of five buses left Bamenda to Buea that Monday, amongst them the bus that had the accident. He said the bus had on board 53 passengers including the driver and the driver's aide, making a total of 55 persons, even though, he revealed, that the said bus normally carries 57 passengers.
He added that he received a call on Wednesday May 3, and was told that some people from Bamenda have arrived Nkongsamba to identify the corpse that was deposited at the morgue, while the treatment of those who were seriously injured is ongoing in the various hospitals.

Medieval Monday: 'Broken on the Wheel'
November 4, 2019 September 28, 2019 Leave a comment
Archaeologists discover medieval man 'broken on the wheel'
An archaeological dig in Milan has uncovered the remains of a young man who suffered massive injuries, likely caused by torture and execution while being 'broken on wheel'.
The team of researchers from Università degli Studi di Milano were examining the remains of 56 individuals that were discovered buried at San Ambrogio square in the Italian city of Milan. These skeletons date from between the era of the Roman Empire to the sixteenth-century, but their focus was on individual found with two buckles. Radiochemical tests were performed, which dates the body to between the years 1290 and 1430. He was between 17 and 20 years old when he died.
The individual was found with numerous wounds, which the researchers noticed as having a very specific distribution. All the long bones on his forearms and legs were fractured in a way that the weapon hit the bones perpendicularly. He also had blunt force injuries to his face, a stab wound that hit his vertebrae, and a deep fracture at the back of his skull, which the researchers believe was caused during a clumsy attempt to decapitate him.

Medieval Monday: The Service of Magic
In medieval England magic was a service industry used by rich and poor alike
by: Emily Costello
Chances are that when you hear the words "medieval magic", the image of a witch will spring to mind: wizened old crones huddled over a cauldron containing unspeakable ingredients such as eye of newt. Or you might think of people brutally prosecuted by overzealous priests. But this picture is inaccurate.
To begin with, fear of witchcraft – selling one's soul to demons to inflict harm on others – was more of an early modern phenomenon than a medieval one, only beginning to take hold in Europe at the tail end of the 15th century. This vision also clouds from view the other magical practices in pre-modern England.
Magic is a universal phenomenon. Every society in every age has carried some system of belief and in every society there have been those who claim the ability to harness or manipulate the supernatural powers behind it. Even today, magic subtly pervades our lives – some of us have charms we wear to exams or interviews and others nod at lone magpies to ward off bad luck. Iceland has a government-recognised elf-whisperer, who claims the ability to see, speak to, and negotiate with the supernatural creatures still believed to live in Iceland's landscape.
While today we might write this off as an overactive imagination or the stuff of fantasy, in the medieval period magic was widely accepted to be very real. A spell or charm could change a person's life: sometimes for the worse, as with curses – but equally, if not more often, for the better.
Magic was understood to be capable of doing a range of things, from the marvellous to the surprisingly mundane. At the mundane end, magic spells were in many ways little more than a tool. They were used to find lost objects, inspire love, predict the future, heal illnesses and discover buried treasure. In this way, magic provided solutions to everyday problems, especially problems that could not be solved through other means.
Medieval Monday: 14th Century Life
What Was Life Like in 14th Century England?
by: Brumafriend
The 14th century was, both worldwide and in relations to England, a century of social turmoil, filled with plague, famine, and an unprecedented desire for social mobility. By the end of the 1300s, the long-standing system of serfdom which had previously been the core of English socioeconomic and class relations had started to irreversibly deteriorate. The key turning point was the Black Death of 1348 (which began the year prior in Europe) and saw the foundations of English society shake. Therefore, it makes sense to look at the 14th century not as one unit but rather as two, with the plague as a divider.
Before the plague, English life for the peasant class remained fairly unchanged from what it had been for hundreds of years. Medical technology and practices had been slowly improving over time, although more so in the Islamic world than in Europe, and many afflictions — such as the Black Death itself — were explained as divine punishment or by superstition, rather than any biological cause. England's population had grown rapidly from the year 1200, rising to 5 million by 1400. This increase was largely spurred on by, and subsequently encouraged, the prosperity of England's agricultural economy — which still made up a very rural society — caused by the adoption of crop rotation techniques. This, in turn, led to an increase in the number of towns. Although many were small, others, such as Norwich, consisted of around 5,000 inhabitants and the biggest cities, such as London, neared 40,000 in population. This meant that society was no longer merely agricultural and other professions, such as in the exportation of wool and cloth, could be pursued.
The Church was also a prevalent force at this time as England was still highly Christian (as a result of, and certainly a cause of, scientific ignorance) and this constituted a significant part of a peasant's life. A peasant was under an economic obligation to pay a tax (known as a 'tithe' to the Church), which came in the form of 10% of the value of the land that he farmed. At a time when peasants were struggling to get by, this tax was deeply unpopular, although it was rarely challenged due to the deep-set nature of religious faith. Indeed, the majority of the population were not even able to comprehend the words delivered to them from the Bible each Sunday, as it was not given in the vernacular and the vast majority of the lower classes could only speak English. Most were also illiterate, which meant that independent religious practice was difficult and possession of books was pointless as well as expensive. At this time, books were often as much a testament of wealth as an intellectual endeavour. Books were incredibly expensive, especially as the printing press would not be invented until 1440, and were often encrusted with jewellery to signify the wealth of its owner.
Whilst life was certainly hard for a 14th-century commoner, with a bad harvest being the difference between life and death, there was still time for pastimes. Such activities included gambling, such as dice games, and playing Chess. Alternatively, inns had, since their emergence during the 12th and 13th centuries, increased in number throughout the country, offering commonfolk an opportunity to relax and converse with others. The exact hobbies and feelings of peasants during this time remains somewhat unknown due to the lack of credible primary sources as a result of a high illiteracy rate and the gradual decomposition and deterioration of the few physical first-hand accounts, which were often lost or discarded.
Interview with Jen Lowry
October 10, 2019 August 14, 2019 Leave a comment
Happy Thursday everyone, hope you're having a blessed day. Today I am sitting down with YA Contemporary Fiction author Jen Lowry. I'm eager to get to know more about this author. What about you? Check it out below.
Tell us about yourself?
I'm a momma in a blended family of seven, Literacy Coach, English teacher, podcaster, business owner, and homeschool mom.
What genre do you write? Why?
I started off writing YA contemporary fiction, and Sweet Potato Jones will be published in 2020 with Swoon Romance, but have evolved over the past year and challenged myself to explore different genres. It has been so rewarding. I will say that my favorite to write is horror/paranormal, contemporary fantasy and historical fantasy.
How does your normal day look like?
Crazy. On the way to work, I host a daily podcast for authors on my drive. I am a Literacy Coach, English I teacher at a large, metropolitan high school. After work, it's homeschool time to my two fabulous boys, and I have to squeeze in cooking and napping in there, too. I write after the day is done, try to upload a YouTube video, and keep all of my social media up to date. On the weekends, I have "Homeschool Adventures," as we call them in my house, so after we are finished up with that, I head back to writing before UFC. Sunday is church and errand day, so I'm always on the go.
What is your favorite hobby?
Hands down, watching UFC. Every Saturday, you'll catch us around the big screen, eating snacks, and enjoying the fights.
If you could be one person who would it be?
Me. I could never be anyone else because that would mean I wouldn't have my children, and they are my heartbeats.
Who is the main character in your book? Tell us a bit about them.
Lyric Harper is finishing up her junior year when she receives the letter she's been waiting for all year. She was chosen for a special summer program at Harmonic Arts Center and will spend her senior year with musical geniuses from around the world. She plays guitar (Daisy), writes music, and thinks of herself a little weird the way the music plays in her head.
What does your writing process look like?
My summer months are spent writing, usually 18 hour days (no joke) because when school hits, I'm too busy to push out novels. I bank them and set them to preorder. So, now my fall schedule is set with books for my readers to enjoy.
What do you have in the works right now?
I'm currently working on my second book of illustrated poetry called, Heartbeats, have to write my first adult sweet romance before the end of September to meet a deadline, and am compiling an anthology of 20 authors called, Everyday God Things, where all proceeds will go to support the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).
What should we expect from you in the coming months?
Stick around because the Holy Spirit is always at work. Honestly, I surprise myself, so follow me to find out!
Do you have any special closing statement you would like to share with your fans?
Never stop writing. Have the courage to push through any self-doubt and continue to improve your craft each day. Don't compare yourself to others. Be you. Honor your blank page. Write your story.
Jen Lowry
Jen Lowry is North Carolina born and raised, still holding on to that country slang that is unique to the small town of Maxton she loves so much in Robeson County. She is an avid enthusiast of all things horror, UFC, and binge watches old episodes of Quantum Leap. She finds herself comfier in a pair of pajamas and would make all public appearances in them if she could get away with it. When she isn't literacy coaching, author coaching, or homeschooling her two fabulous boys, she can be found napping or singing loudly, probably napping. Jen has her doctorate degree in Christian Ministry and is a member of Raleigh First Assembly.

Apple pulls VLC media player from the App Store
updated 08:35 pm EST, Fri January 7, 2011
by MacNN Staff
Move said to be related to licensing dispute
Apple has finally pulled Applidium's VLC video player app from the iTunes store due to a licensing discrepancy. The situation is one of the prominent examples of conflict between the open-source GNU General Public License, which is tied to the VLC player, and the terms detailed in Apple's own App Store licensing.
Interestingly enough, the incompatibility was brought to Apple's attention by R?mi Denis-Courmon, one of the principal developers behind the VLC media player. The problem was brought to attention over two months ago, however Apple only recently removed the app.
"At last, Apple has removed VLC media player from its application store," Denis-Courmon was quoted as saying, according to a Planet VideoLAN blog. "Thus the incompatibility between the GNU General Public License and the AppStore terms of use is resolved - the hard way."
Apple's insistence on Digital Rights Management (DRM) for App Store content is reportedly the primary source of conflict with the GNU license. A similar situation resulted in the removal of GNU Go, a game app that also also uses GPL code.
"I am not going to pity the owners of iDevices, and not even the MobileVLC developers who doubtless wasted a lot of their time," Denis-Courmon added. "This end should not have come to a surprise to anyone."

You mean the GPL can't be used on a platform designed for consumers because it is too constricting? That comes as a shock -- to anyone who hasn't paid any attention whatsoever to the GPL for the last decade.
Of course, now that I think of it, most people haven't, and that's a good thing for once. The GPL is a nasty piece of work by an ideologue, and if it isn't well-known that's probably a good thing. It deliberately leaves some terms vague so that people can be punished later -- and Stallman has admitted as much. Who knows what moronic lawsuits are waiting in the wings -- Google "Busybox lawsuit" to see the sort of thing that is doubtless planned. People who don't want to use their software as a bludgeon to beat people into submission use one of the licenses written by actual adults, like the one for BSD.

The mobile version for iPad has been a huge time-saver. I'm sorry the mobile VLC developers and Apple couldn't work something out, but at least I got my copy before the end. Hopefully some good in terms of developer dialogue with the App Store will come of this.
cgc 01/07, 09:28pm
Yeah, I snagged a copy of VLC when it was first announced just to have in case Apple yanked it.
Seth Kristol 01/07, 09:57pm
You have to admit, there are challenging issues to be resolved in reconciling the GNU license with a system the purports to guarantee software security through a system of signing certificates as well as which is obligated to provide responsible accounting of even "free" distributions. Nonetheless, these things most likely could be resolved with some commitment and elbow grease.
There was a time when Steve Job most likely was committed enough to things like the GNU license, open source, changing the world, and computers for the rest of us that he would have used his renown bull-headedness to resolve such issues. Probably not anymore. Strange how success and a few billions dollars can change a man's perspectives.
Lord Acton continues to bat a thousand.

Remi Denis-Courmont works for Nokia and his employer needs to play fair. There is no inherent incompatibility between "free" apps on the app store and the GPLV2. What he said is pure FUD.
legacyb4 01/07, 11:15pm
the last version of VLC stops working on iOS 4?
dliup 01/07, 11:43pm
What about think different? Stick it up to the GNU fools?
aristotles 01/08, 02:58am
He may in fact be in violation of the GPL as he is trying to impose additional restrictions upon the VLC codebase and that is a violation of one of the terms of the GPL. This would not be a problem if he was the sole contributor but since he is one of several and the majority do not agree with him, the VLC team might have to remove his contributions from VLC with a rewrite unless if he decides to comply with the GPLV2 conditions.
facebook_Valentin 01/08, 05:47am
There should be some artificial way to avoid violation of licensing terms like adding code distribution folder along with App. This shouldn't violate Apple guidelines as well.
mr100percent 01/08, 11:28am
So a developer of the app itself files a lawsuit against Apple. What did he expect, Apple would just remove DRM for his app alone? Who didn't see this coming?

It looks like the FSF has been wrestling with this issue for a while: http://www.fsf.org/news/blogs/licensing/more-about-the-app-store-gpl-enforcement and http://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/why-free-software-and-apples-iphone-dont-mix, so it is legitimate from a legal perspective, though the FSF mainly argues that the GPL v3 is incompatible with Apple's terms, while VLC is distributed under GPL v2.
That being said, it looks rather political that the move to force VLC off of the iPhone was driven by an employee of a competitor whose products have been losing badly to the iPhone. It feels to me that he may be motivated more by a desire to drive people to competing phones than a desire to work out what feels like a minor legal issue. That is, while the source code to VLC for the iPhone is distributed freely (the core of the GPL), iPhone users could only run VLC if they download it through the App store, users could only run the iPhone version of VLC on a product from Apple (i.e. not on some hypothetical device from another company, that can run iPhone apps) and can only distribute modified versions of VLC if they register as iPhone developers (which costs $99). Those are additional restrictions, which therefore conflict with the GPL. But in practical terms, they don't feel central to the GPL.

Martin Luther King Jr. is one of the best known and least understood Americans of the 20th century. Fifty years after his assassination, the contrast between his life and memory could hardly be more stark. In the eyes of countless white Americans, King died a communist villain. He has been resurrected as a loveable mascot for an ever-improving American way.
On the January holiday that commemorates his life and legacy, we hear little about King's strident opposition to racial and economic inequality at home, not to mention his vociferous denunciation of American imperialism abroad. Instead attention is directed to selective snippets from his 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech and especially this line: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." Ripped out of context, this one sentence might seem to suggest that King was a cheerleader for colorblind liberalism, seeking only formal, not actual, equality.
But King was far more radical than that. He had democratic socialist sympathies and fought doggedly for a more egalitarian distribution of wealth. The fact that his ties to the progressive labor movement have been scrubbed from the typical story is all the more amazing given that the reason he was in Memphis when gunned down there in April 1968 was to stand with striking sanitation workers.
Concern about such whitewashing is part of what motivated Patrick Parr to write The Seminarian. While another new book—Michael Honey's To the Promised Land: Martin Luther King and the Fight for Economic Justice—focuses on the radical activism of King's later years, Parr explores its deeper origins in his "formative time" at Crozer Theological Seminary. Drawing on a variety of sources, including interviews with some of King's classmates, Parr captures the texture of this often-overlooked season, which stretched from 1948 to 1951, in Chester, Pennsylvania.
The story unfolds chronologically, as Parr chronicles each term of King's seminary career. He was only 19 and full of boyish mischief when he arrived at Crozer, but by the time he graduated at 22 he was well on his way to being a formidable leader. Parr describes the full diversity of King's experiences along the way, ranging from a stint on the Crozer basketball team to his tenure as class president his final year.
Most illuminating is the book's treatment of King's intellectual development. As others have shown, he was a serial plagiarizer of course papers. Parr offers extensive documentation of this problematic practice as well as some speculation about why King might have engaged in it, not to mention how he avoided getting caught (although the silence of the evidence on these latter questions makes it impossible to say anything definitive). What is beyond debate, as Parr underscores, is that the plagiarism makes it all the more challenging to trace the evolution of his thought in these years. Nevertheless, by retracing King's curricular steps, Parr is able to recover an intellectual arc. He includes a chart of King's classes for each term, complete with their catalog descriptions and his final grades, and describes some of his most influential teachers.
As a visiting student at the University of Pennsylvania, he read Kant, Marx, and Gandhi in a course with Professor Elizabeth Flower. Meanwhile, at Crozer he studied under the likes of Kenneth Smith and George W. Davis, who made sure he was steeped in the writings of Walter Rauschenbusch and Reinhold Niebuhr. The social gospel that King would propound in Montgomery, Chicago, and across the land was significantly honed during his time as a seminarian.
Parr's book does not mount an especially ambitious argument. But he has done some impressive digging in the historical record and there is no doubt that scholars writing about King will find The Seminarian useful. The book should also attract students and faculty at seminaries and divinity schools, who will be interested not only in the particularities of King's experience at Crozer but also in the fascinating picture that emerges of a mid-20th-century theological education.
Not until the epilogue does Parr name his desire to "push back against the deification and offer as nuanced a view as possible" of King. But the intent is clear throughout the book. Historians such as Jacquelyn Dowd Hall have argued persuasively that the mainstreaming of a revisionist, sentimentalized picture of King is one of the great victories of the latter-day opposition to the black freedom struggle. The more that Americans forget about King's bracing egalitarianism, the more he becomes just another high priest in the nation's civil religion, sanctifying a superficial fairness at the expense of true racial and economic justice.
It is impossible to say at this point whether Parr's study, along with the others being published on the half-century anniversary of King's death, will succeed in correcting popular memory. But, swimming as we are in a sea of mis-remembrances, we can certainly hope.

Seeking biology's most beautiful
Science group is launching beauty pageant for biological experiments
Eugene Russo(erusso@the-scientist.com)
Confident in the inherent beauty of the way biologists practice their craft, the American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) is asking its members, and anyone else with an interest, to identify biology's most beautiful experiments. Inspired by a similar campaign held by Physics World to find the most beautiful physics experiments and by the 2001 Frederic Lawrence Holmes book, Meselson, Stahl, and the Replication of DNA: A History of The Most Beautiful Experiment in Biology, the AIBS is asking biologists to submit candidates for experimental biology's beauties through the end of 2003.
Those offering submissions must make their case in no more than 500 words. A panel of four judges, composed of scientists as well as historians and philosophers of science, will judge the entries, and the AIBS journal BioScience will feature the top picks in a series of essays commissioned from experts.
According to BioScience Editor Tim Beardsley, the AIBS has issued the challenge to help showcase the wide range of fields that AIBS represents and to generate interesting story ideas that BioScience editors otherwise may not have considered. AIBS also thought, quite simply, that the exercise would be enjoyable. Beardsley said that he expects anywhere from five to 20 essays.
There are no hard and fast criteria for what kinds of experiments can be considered "beautiful," said Beardsley. Holmes attributed the beauty of Matthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl's 1957 experiment, which demonstrated the semiconservative replication of DNA by measuring the densities of labeled strands, to its "essential simplicity." (The Meselson and Stahl experiment is the only one not eligible for submission.)
Although he hasn't yet decided on specific benchmarks, one of the judges, Scott F. Gilbert, a professor of biology at Swarthmore College, told The Scientist that he'll likely look for stylistic, elegant experiments that "combine things that other people hadn't thought of combining" and that have a "very clean and clear ability to distinguish between alternative answers," as was the case in the Meselson and Stahl experiment. The experiments chosen, Gilbert said, also should have a demonstrated importance in the field, should have pedagogical value, and should be written and presented well.
When teaching his students, Gilbert often cites a few particularly elegant experiments. They include, for example, a 1933 experiment by Hans Spemann and Oscar Schotte in which the German biologists illustrated the importance of genes for specifying organ formation. Spemann and Schotte transplanted tissue from a salamander embryo's jaw-forming region into frog embryos and vice versa. The resulting frog larvae had salamander jaws, and the resulting salamander larvae had frog jaws. The embryos had signaled "make a jaw," but the genes in that tissue only knew how to make the type of jaw that the genes would allow. The experiment beautifully and succinctly brought together the notions of epigenesis and preformation, said Gilbert, and showed that both were critical in making an embryo.
Gilbert, who emphasizes that he has no favorites going into the AIBS competition, suggests that experiments can be reduced to three areas: conception, execution, and interpretation. "What I hope to see in the beautiful experiment," he said, "is where each of those parts is really interesting and where you look at them and say, 'Why didn't I do that?'"

My experiences have caused me to lose faith in the idea that people will come to understand and acknowledge my sexuality without an explicit statement that I am asexual. Even this statement rarely generates understanding or compassion from friends; usually I am met with confusion, discomfort, or even silent denial in the form of attempting to steer the conversation elsewhere.
Triggers Everywhere: Refocusing in College After Trauma

College can be hard even when nothing traumatic happens to you – especially in a physical therapy doctorate program – but navigating hallways where you could pass your rapist at any moment is hard on another level. And on a small campus, where he's popular and you're not? It can feel like all you can do is brace yourself. Forget support systems or telling anyone his name.
It Gets Better: Chasing the 'Before'

Probably the worst part of it was how my grandparents urged me to go back to who I was 'before'. For me, there was no before. I didn't realize it then, but for many of the victims of repeated childhood sexual abuse, there is no 'before'. You know the one. Before the abuse. Before the pain. Before the brokenness. Now, when I think about who I was 'before', I realize that it wasn't as clear-cut as my grandparents and the psychologist made it out to be. Now, I realize that the 'before' they referred to was their own—namely, before they knew about the abuse. Today, I have a different 'before'. Before I decided to live for me. Before I forgave myself. Before I realized that my life is valid, no matter what.
When there never was any "before"

Not every trauma survivour has had a life before the trauma/s. It can have happened/started in early childhood and/or there may be no memories of a life before or independent of trauma. Even for people where there was a "before", recovery is not about going back to that state, especially not if the "before" was a long time ago, in childhood or in a completely different stage of life. We know it's hard. Having to figure out everything new, what is a healthy coping mechanism and what's not doing me good, how does a healthy relationship work/feel, what are my likes, interests, needs, skills, beliefs. What is my personality, who am I and what is really me and what is "just" due to trauma. This is hard to figure out and painful to even have to adress in the first place. But it's possible.

HC Deb 20 May 2002 vol 386 cc9-11 9
§ 5. Mr. Bill Rammell (Harlow)
If he will make a statement on trends in the labour market since 11 September. [55491]
§ The Minister for Work (Mr. Nicholas Brown)
There are problems in the world economy, but the UK is withstanding them better than other major countries. Compared with last September, there are more than 70,000 more people in employment and unemployment is broadly unchanged. Our labour market is in a strong position: the number of people in employment is at a record level—up by more than 1.5 million since 1997. The number of job vacancies is high—more than 10,000 are being notified to jobcentres every working day; and recent unemployment levels are the lowest since 1975.
§ Mr. Rammell
I welcome that response, which clearly indicates that, contrary to some predictions, we have not gone into an employment downturn since 11 September. Indeed, in my Harlow constituency, the claimant count this month shows that unemployment figures continue to fall. However, does my right hon. Friend agree that certain sectors of the economy, especially telecommunications, face continuing problems because of the worldwide situation? Does he agree that where redundancies occur, it is the responsibility of both national and local government to work with employers and trade unions to help people to retrain and up-skill to take advantage of the job opportunities that are available?
§ Mr. Brown
Yes, I agree with my hon. Friend. On job losses in the telecommunications industry, specifically in his constituency, I can confirm that Harlow jobcentre is in touch with local employers and that we shall do whatever we can to stand the corner of his constituents. Nevertheless, as he says, it is a fact that unemployment has fallen—it has halved in Harlow's travel-to-work area since 1997.
§ Mr. John Wilkinson (Ruislip-Northwood)
The Minister said that notwithstanding problems in the world economy, the United Kingdom's employment trends are better than those in many other countries. Is it not interesting that since 11 September last year—and, indeed, for some months before that—those trends have been particularly favourable compared with those in the eurozone? Will the Minister do the sensible and honourable thing on behalf of the hard-working British public in recommending to the Treasury, both to the First Lord and to the Chancellor, that we keep the pound?
I always try to do the sensible thing on behalf of the hard-working British public. I think that our colleagues in the European Union have much to learn from the way in which we manage the labour market.
§ Mr. Peter Pike (Burnley)
My right hon. Friend will recognise that in constituencies such as mine, it is high-paid and high-skill jobs in the aerospace industry that have been lost or put at risk the most by what happened on 11 September. Will he reiterate that the Government remain committed, for the benefit of constituencies such as Burnley and, indeed, of the whole country's economy, to maintaining high-skill jobs at the sharp end and to doing everything possible for investment to secure those jobs in the future?
I understand what my hon. Friend says. It is true that in constituencies such as Burnley the labour market is undergoing a period of adjustment. To address some of those local issues, we have introduced a number of special programmes designed to bear down on unemployment, especially long-term unemployment. My hon. Friend is right that there has been movement in the labour market away from employment in manufacturing towards employment in the service sector, but it would not be true to say that there are not secure, well-paid careers in the service sector—there are.
§ Miss Anne McIntosh (Vale of York)
Does the Minister agree that in this longest, deepest recession, which has been compounded by 11 September, two 11 sectors—the airline industry and farming—have been particularly badly hit? Will he give some assurance to constituents of mine who came to see me having, in the case of the husband, just been made redundant from farming? Will people get a fairer hearing and more assistance from the jobcentre and Employment Service staff than was the case in that instance?
I do not agree with the hon. Lady that we are in a long and deep recession. Indeed, there have never been so many people in employment. However, I am happy to consider cases of individual constituents who, according to the hon. Lady, have been displaced from employment in agriculture. It is fair to point out that agriculture employs fewer than 1 per cent. of the total work force, but if the hon. Lady has a constituent who is looking for work and needs help, and she writes to me about the case, I shall see what I can do.
§ David Cairns (Greenock and Inverclyde)
The electronics sector has also suffered since 11 September. After many years of decline, unemployment in my constituency has risen sharply since 11 September. A characteristic of the sector is the number of people employed on short-term and casual contracts. Too often, Government employment initiatives are not sufficiently flexible to deal with people who experience periods of unemployment. Will my right hon. Friend consider the operation of Jobcentre Plus and the new deal to ascertain whether people on short-term contracts can be caught more quickly and helped back into work so that they can benefit from the booming economy elsewhere?
Employment on short-term contracts is relatively low nationally, but if it is a peculiar feature of the labour market in my hon. Friend's constituency, I shall, of course, consider the problems that he mentioned. However, I must emphasise that the trend that he cites goes against the national trend. Perhaps he wishes to draw some local circumstance to my attention. I assure him that the staff who work for Jobcentre Plus—as it will become—are there to help his constituents. If he wants to draw a specific problem to my attention, I shall examine it.

Sacred Heart Cathedral, Bendigo, is the cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sandhurst and seat of the Bishop of Sandhurst. The cathedral is located in the provincial city of Bendigo, Victoria, Australia.
It was designed in the Gothic style in 1895 by an architect of the firm Reed, Barnes and Tappin.

Description
Sacred Heart Cathedral is one of Australia's largest churches and the third tallest after St Patrick's Cathedral and St Paul's Cathedral in Melbourne.  It is exceptionally large for a provincial city cathedral in Australia and its construction was made possible chiefly through the estate of Henry Backhaus (1811-1882), a German from Paderborn and the first Catholic priest on the Bendigo goldfields. Backhaus was very skilled in financial matters and accumulated considerable property - not least through encouraging his gold-mining parishioners to contribute some of their finds to the work of the church. Backhaus left his wealth for the benefit of the church and enabled the cathedral, among other things, to be built.

In 1895, Martin Crane, an Augustinian and the first bishop of the diocese, called for competitive designs for a cathedral from several architects. The winning architect was William Tappin of the firm Reed, Barnes and Tappin, a firm established by Joseph Reed, one of Melbourne's most significant architects. It was built in the Gothic Revival style from sandstone quarried from the Geelong area.

The large pipe organ, built by Bishop & Son of London, was installed late in 1905.

After a long interval, work recommenced on the cathedral in 1954 and was completed in 1977. The later works were designed by Bates, Smart and McCutcheon, the successor of Reed, Barnes and Tappin. The spire was of lighter construction than that originally designed, being steel framed and clad with a masonry veneer.

Sacred Heart Cathedral is 75 metres long and has a ceiling height of 24 metres. The main spire is 87 metres high.

158-Episode 158: To Canare Castle
Later, I drank the story that Lemayle was going to be the mayor of Bertsd County.
After that, the Clan declared me to be the Mayor of Canale County.
It has now been officially decided that I will be the Mayor of Canale County.
No one argued with this decision, but some of the lords might have bitten back. There were a few who looked at me with a grim expression. I appraised the names and ability values of the lords who seemed to have an antipathy to me, and before I forgot, I wrote them down on a piece of paper. If something happens in the future, it looks dangerous to rely on these people.
As I was preparing to return home, as I had no more business in Bertsd Castle, I was called by the Clan.
'Ars. The plan was to make you mayor of the county after your victory against Bassamark, but your war effort to take Bertsd was nothing short of brilliant. I made you mayor a little earlier than promised.
The Clan said in a good mood. I still can't get to praise the work of my vassals as much as my own work. It's an indescribably itchy feeling. It's not that I didn't succeed in orchestrating or anything, but I didn't do much work in the war.
I suppressed the itchy feeling and thanked the clan.
''I am grateful for the honor that I have received, which is beyond my means. As county chief, I pledge to work even harder for the Clan.
Mm, good luck with that. As I said before, I would like to take some time to regain my position before attacking the Alcanteans. Our troops are running low on food, but the Paradile army has been fighting at the Arcantes and apparently suffered a lot of losses. We need to wait for the Paradile army to regain its footing as well, because we want to attack the Alcanteans at the same level as the Paradile army.
I see, it looks like we have more time to attack Alcantez than I thought. In the meantime, it's good to feel comfortable not having to fight.
The new position of Mayor of Canale County means that there are a lot of new things to learn, so it will be tough, but it will be a lot easier than going into battle.
''There will be a lot of new things to learn as you become the new head of Canale County, but you'll have to prepare for the battle properly.
I'm sorry, sir.
When he heard my reply, the Clan nodded with satisfaction.
I then parted from the Clan and returned with my vassals to the Lumberg.
Before returning to Llanberg, Lemayl accompanied me with his vassal, Menas Leonard. The purpose was to have him explain the current situation in Canale County and show us around Canale Castle. Menas is a capable man among Lemeil's vassals, and he knows the work of the head of Canale County and other matters well.
I asked him if it would be better to keep a competent vassal on hand, as Lemayle is also going to be the mayor of Belted County from the mayor of Canale County, but there is no doubt that it would be easier to do it with Menas, but he has been the mayor of the county for many years, so he can manage it. I was told that a first time county mayor would need someone to explain things to him. I think I've been giving Lemayle a lot of attention.
Once in Lumberk, he explained the situation to the remaining vassals in the house.
Some were surprised, some were happy, some were worried about what would happen to Lumberk in the future, and there were many different reactions.
If I'm going to be the mayor of Canale County, my residence will be in Canale Castle.
I will miss the mansion I've lived in since I was born, but since Canale and Lumberk aren't that far apart, I can take a break if I really want to go there.
If I leave the mansion, I'll have to leave the management of the Lumberk to someone else. The one I trust the most is Rietz, but ...... I want him to stay close by and support me, and ...... I'll have to discuss it with everyone later and decide.
It will be me, my family and a few servants who will be moving to Canale from the Lumberk compound. If we all move, we won't be able to run the Lumberk, so a few of us will be moving.
We packed up our necessary belongings and left Lumberk and headed for Canale Castle.
