Part II, Chapter 7: Anonymous Authorities
As noted in the right margin of this page, I've decided to serialize and publish on this blog a book that I've been working on for some time. Below is the next installment. Consult the Table of Contents at the right of this page for a chronological listing of posts.
You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books,
You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me,
You shall listen to all sides and filter them from your self.
--Walt Whitman, Song of Myself
Despite their penchant for suppression, the Literalists ultimately proved unsuccessful at completely ridding Christianity of "variant" forms. And, somewhat surprisingly, the orthodox editors of the bible were not even successful at synthesizing a "standardized' version of the life of Jesus for use in their own churches. It seems that different Literalist churches throughout the empire were so attached to one or more versions of the gospel story that, in seeking to unite the Christian world under their authority, the best that orthodox, Literalist leaders could accomplish was a compromise whereby four different and sometimes contradictory versions of Christ's life story (now called Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) were accepted, centuries after they were supposedly written, as canon.
Literalists answer the questions posed at the end of the last chapter by insisting that their understanding of Christianity is anchored in these four Gospels, and that we can depend upon these gospels because they represent eyewitness accounts of actual historical events concerning the life, death, teachings and resurrection of Jesus, and infallible ones at that. But, there are many problems with the idea that the gospels are eyewitness accounts, as we shall see in this chapter and the next.
Hearsay Accounts are Not Eyewitness Accounts
The first major problem is that we have no way of authenticating any of the gospels. One reason for this is that no one knows who actually wrote them. While they were eventually attributed to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John decades or centuries after they were written, even Literalists admit that all four were, in fact, originally written anonymously. The startling fact is that none of our canonical gospels identify their respective authors (the "titles" of the "books" in our Bibles were added by editors long after the "books" themselves were written). In fact, the idea that the Gospels even represent eyewitness accounts arose decades, if not centuries, after they were written, when some later Christians in other countries came to view them as "memoirs of the apostles." The gospels themselves, as we shall see, don't claim to be eyewitness accounts or memoirs at all.
In partial recognition of this, the early church never even bothered to argue that Mark and Luke were written by Jesus's contemporaries. Rather, based on rather dubious attributions that we will discuss shortly, it contended that the unknown author of the gospel that we now call "Mark" was a supposed companion of the disciple Peter (not even a disciple of Peter), and that the unknown author of that gospel we now call "Luke" was a companion (not even a disciple) of the apostle Paul.
Curiously though, neither book actually claims such status. If "Mark" did indeed intend to preserve the eyewitness testimony of such a notable apostle as Peter, and Luke of the greatest of all apostles, Paul, then why in the world didn't either of author begin their accounts by saying so?! For instance, why doesn't either say something like: "Thus is the testimony of Peter/Paul, apostle to the Lord and eyewitness to the resurrection, as transcribed by his devoted companion Mark/Luke at such-and-such place at such-and-thus time"? Why indeed.
Nevertheless, even if we accept on faith the the gospels of "Mark" and "Luke" were written by persons so named, and that those persons were indeed companions of Peter and Paul respectively, we are still left with a startling conclusion: These gospels constitute unreliable hearsay and not true eyewitness accounts.
Most Western courts, especially those from the English tradition, distinguish authentic eyewitness testimony from hearsay. True eyewitness testimony that that offered to us by the person who actually saw the events in question. By contrast, hearsay evidence is offered by someone who was not a witness himself but who nonetheless heard what an actual witness had to say on the matter (hence, the term "hearsay"). Western courts generally do no allow "hearsay" evidence except in limited circumstances because it is notoriously unreliable. To understand why, we must first better understand what hearsay is.
Hearsay occurs when a person in court seeks to offer the testimony of an actual witness to the events who is not in court in order to prove a contested issue. For instance, suppose that parties A and B were in a car accident at an intersection with a traffic light. Party A, who was injured in the accident, sues Party B alleging that Party B ran a red light. To prove this, Party A calls Person Y to the stand. Person Y testifies that she did not see the actual accident, but that Witness Z, who is not around, told her that he did see the accident and that Party B ran the red light. This statement is inadmissible as "hearsay" (i.e., Witness Y says in effect, "I heard Witness Z say that Party B ran the light"). Perhaps Y misunderstood Witness Z? Or, perhaps Witness Z got Party A and Party B's names mixed up? The court can't know because Witness Z isn't there to testify. Thus, we generally do not permit people to testify about things that they didn't themselves witness.
So, if we were to hold a trial to determine the reliability of the gospel known as Mark, how would the hearsay rule inform our conclusion? Well, at the very best (and this assumes much), all counsel for the Literalists could argue is that some person otherwise unknown to history named "Mark" wrote down what he heard Peter say. Same with "Luke" as regards Paul. Thus, as far as "testimony" goes, Mark and Luke's gospels are clearly hearsay accounts even if we assume the best possible facts. But, in fact, the facts get worse. Much, much worse.
For instance, the only reason that we even attribute our gospel called Mark to the stranger and supposed companion of Peter named "Mark" is thanks to the writings of Papias (c. 125 CE), writings that survive to the present only because portions of them were quoted extensively in later writings of some Church Fathers. In these surviving quotes, Papias explains how he came to learn that Mark authored "Mark". Specifically, Papias says that he had occasion to speak with a group of unnamed persons, persons that Papias refers to as "the elders" (or presbyters). Papias tells us that these unnamed elders told him that they had known some of Jesus' disciples. Papias continues:
This is what the elder used to say, "when Mark was the interpreter of Peter he wrote down accurately everything that he recalled of the Lord's words and deeds—but not in order. For he neither heard the Lord nor accompanied him; but later, as I indicated, he accompanied Peter, who used to adapt his teachings for the needs at hand, not arranging, as it were, an orderly composition of the Lord's sayings. And so Mark did nothing wrong by writing some of the matters as he remembered them. For he was intent on just one purpose: not to leave out anything that he heard or to include any falsehood among them.
So, when it comes to establishing the validity of the testimony of the Gospel of Mark, all we have to rely on is the following: Certain Church Fathers say that they read writings (which we no longer have) of a person named Papias to say that Papias heard some otherwise unknown "elders" say that they heard unnamed disciples of the Lord say that a persona named Mark was an interpreter of Peter, and this Mark took it upon himself to write down what Peter said he heard Jesus say. Not only is this hearsay, but it is at least quintuple hearsay! And not only quintuple hearsay, but anonymous quintuple hearsay (since we don't know who the unnamed disciples were who shared this information with the unnamed Elders who shared it with Papias). Anyone familiar with modern news gathering knows how unreliable unnamed sources can be, and anyone familiar with the "telephone game" knows how things can be misinterpreted when repeated several times by different parties.
Furthermore, and disturbingly, it should be clear from the above quote that whatever gospel Papias attributed to Peter's companion named Mark, it wasn't our present day "Gospel of Mark"! For Papias is insistent that his Mark did not preserve the "Lord's words and deeds" in order. And yet, our present day Gospel of Mark is quite diligent at providing a very specific chronological account of Jesus deeds and sayings. There is nothing disorderly about it. Consider, for instance, 2:1, 2:23, 4:35, 6:2, 6:45, 6:53, 9:2, 9:30, etc. where our version of Mark goes out of its way to note the progress of time, order of happenings, and chronological changes of venue.
Papias' testimony is, plain and simple, the worst and least reliable kind of hearsay. And thus, so is our Gospel of Mark. One may, as a matter of pure faith, accept the Gospel of Mark as God's infallible word, but to claim that it represents eyewitness testimony is patently absurd.
And yet, we have other reasons to question Papias on these matters. One is that Papias has been discredited as a source on so many other points. His writings were do untrusted (or unorthodox?), in fact, that the early Christian Literalists failed to copy and preserve them except in quoted form, a fact that defies explanation since it is only the writings of Papias that permit us to attribute Mark to a supposed companion of Peter (and as we shall see, Matthew to Matthew). The only reason that we have any inkling today of what Papias once said about these elders and disciples and companions is because certain Church Fathers saw fit to quote him when doing so advanced their theological agenda. And yet, because none of Papia's writings survive in their original form, we have no way to confirm the quotations.
But, the words of Papias that do survive are telling in that they reveal a peculiar theological perspective, and contain quotes of Jesus's words handed down to Papias as hearsay by these same "elders", quotes that are not found in our gospels and that no modern Christian (and few ancient ones) accept as authentic. Thus, it seems more than a bit disingenuous to accept the testimony of Papias and his "elders" when doing so conveniently advances one's theological agenda while rejecting or doubting it when it does not.
In short, we have no verifiable reason to believe that the Gospel of Mark was written by a companion of Peter so named. Our sole means of attribution, the testimony of Papias, is unreliable because it relies on numerous levels of hearsay and because the gospel that Papias attributes to Mark clearly wasn't our extant version of Mark. Thus, if we are honest, we must admit that we simply don't know who wrote Mark, whose testimony it purports to preserve, whether it was intended as "testimony" at all, exactly when it was written, or exactly where it was written (though the answers to these last two questions can be teased out with the aid of textual criticism). Can you imagine attempting to offer a writing in court as evidence to prove a matter when you can't even state with certainty who wrote it, when it was written, where it was written, or whose testimony it purports to preserve! How silly.
Arguments of Literalist Apologists
Literalists bend over backward to explain away such problems. One common explanation is that the writers of the gospels were just so humble, so modest, that they preferred to remain anonymous, thereby keeping the focus on Jesus. But, this explanation is too cute by half. First, one of the supposed (and in some cases explicit) purposes of writing these Gospels, according to Literalists and even the unknown gospel writers themselves (e.g., Luke 1: 3-4 and John 21: 24) is so that people who were not eyewitnesses to these events might believe. And yet, given that the gospels describe unlikely events and numerous miracles, the identity and credibility of the witnesses is therefore paramount in gauging their reliability. Thus, remaining anonymous for the sake of humility undermines the very purpose for which the gospels were written! If their purpose was to help the world believe, then the the identity of the witnesses whose testimony they preserve definitely matters and, under such circumstances, insisting upon anonymity is the height of self-indulgence.
Second, supposing that the authors of Mark and Luke were indeed motivated by modesty, this still does not explain why they don't at least identify their sources. For instance, an anonymous Mark could still say, "Thus is the account of Peter, disciple of the Lord, as relayed to good-ole-anonymous-me by Peter himself at such-and-thus place on such-and-such dates." But, he doesn't. And Luke, were he indeed a companion of Paul (who based on his epistles didn't seem to share the evangelists' concern for anonymity), could say the say the same thing about Paul without compromising Luke's own identity. And finally, Luke could have easily named the sources that he says he consulted to compile his complete account (see again Luke 1: 1-3) while still remaining anonymous himself. But, he doesn't.
Another common Literalist defense is that the authors didn't identify themselves because the audience for which they were writing already knew their identity. But, if true, then there was no reason to remain anonymous out of humility, was there? In other words, if Mark's contemporary audience knew him personally and knew that he authored the text, then humble anonymity was out of the question from the beginning.
Furthermore, if true, the fact that Mark's contemporaries may have known him does nothing to help the modern day faithful, for we don't know him. If the first believers were expected to trust the authors of the Gospels primarily because they knew them personally—in other words, if the credibility of the testimony depended upon personal knowledge and trust of the testifiers—then why aren't today's Christians at least permitted to know with certainty who those testifiers were? Why are we expected to believe miraculous stories--stories that challenge everything that we know from personal experience is possible--without even knowing who wrote them, when they were written, or whose testimony they offer?
Moving beyond "Mark", authenticating the other gospels is equally difficult. The unnamed author that we call "Luke" tells us outright that his gospel is a hearsay one, compiled after a "careful investigation" on his part (no such investigation would have been required had he possessed first-hand knowledge of the events in question), which apparently included interviewing people who had received the Christian tradition directly from supposed eyewitnesses (see Luke 1:1-3, which curiouslymakes absolutely no mention of Paul, Luke's supposed mentor). Even though Luke mentions eyewitnesses, his account is not an eyewitness one, but only an admitted hearsay account. And, how many layers of hearsay is impossible to determine as Luke never says he himself interviewed eyewitnesses, only that he intends to preserve a story that has been "handed down to us" by eyewitnesses (1:2), with the "us" possibly referencing his generation of Christians as a whole and not necessarily himself in particular. In other words, Luke may have gotten his information not from supposed eyewitnesses themselves, but from other Christians who claim to have gotten their information from eyewitnesses. Given that Luke's stated objective (1:3) is to convince Theophilus that he can believe with "certainty" the things that he had been taught about Christ, it is curious that Luke fails to identify even a single of these witnesses.
So, who wrote Luke? We don't know as the book doesn't tell us. The author of "Luke" addresses the book to "Theophilus." Who was Theophilus? We don't know as we aren't told. What investigation did Luke perform in order to compile his account for Theophilus? Who did he interview? Whose "eyewitness" testimony is it based upon? On all of these points, "Luke" is silent.
Unfortunately, things don't get any better when we turn to the Gospel of "Matthew". Attribution of "Matthew" to Jesus' disciple of the same name is again based on the testimony of Papias, but Papias tells us even less about Matthew's gospel than he does Mark's, saying (via Eusebius' Church History) only that:
Matthew composed the sayings in the Hebrew tongue, and each one interpreted them to to the best of his ability.
Unlike with Mark, Papias provides no source at all for this knowledge, not even unnamed "elders". Regardless, it is indisputable that our oldest surviving manuscripts of Mathew are not simply a collection of "sayings" of the Lord (but rather are a chronological biography), and they are all written in Greek (not Hebrew as Papias indicates was true of his copy). Thus, we have no reasonable basis for attributing authorship of our present day Gospel of "Matthew" to a disciple of Jesus' so named. Like Mark and Luke, we can't say who wrote the gospel of Matthew, when it was written, where it was written, or whose testimony it purports to offer.
So, what about the fourth gospel, John? Well, like Luke, John readily admits that his account is hearsay, saying in verse 21: 20-24 that it represents a compilation of the testimony of an unnamed "Beloved Disciple" of Jesus. The author of John never says that he is himself the Beloved Disciple, or that he ever actually met or talked to the Beloved Disciple. To the contrary, "John" only writes about the Beloved Disciple in the third person (e.g., in verse 21: 24 where he says "we know that his testimony is true"). In saying this, the author identifies himself among the "we" who knows that "his" testimony is true, not as the testifier himself. Thus, like Mark, Luke and Matthew, we have no firm basis for attributing authorship of John to a disciple of Jesus' so named. We don't know who wrote it, where it was written, when it was written, or whose testimony if purports to preserve.
How Little We Know and How Much We Could Have
The simple truth is that there is no verifiable basis for the historical claim that the gospels preserve reliable, eyewitness testimony about the events of Jesus' life. In fact, when viewed as evidence of the historical events described therein, they are incredibly weak sources--much weaker than one would expect from a "divinely inspired" biography of Christ. They were written anonymously at unknown times in unknown places. They don't identify the sources of their information. They present us with multiple levels of anonymous hearsay. And, they describe a highly unlikely series of events.
Most troubling, all of these problems of authenticity were clearly avoidable to someone with Jesus', or even his disciples', supposed capabilities. As noted previously, if Jesus had intended for his church to be built upon biographies of his life that preserved his teachings, he could have penned an authoritative one himself. He could even have done so in stone (as the Pharaohs did) so that it might be preserved indefinitely, and he could have written it in some self-authenticating, miraculous way, a way that would leave no doubt at to its authenticity. Or, in the alternative, he could have formally commissioned his biography and appointed an authorized, official biographer, one whose account could have been verified and authenticated (in customary ways of the time or in some miraculous way) by Jesus himself and specific, named disciples who were known to have traveled with him. Or, finally, he could have at least arranged for his life story to have been preserved by actual, known eyewitnesses, writing under their own names, and corroborating those accounts with testimony from even other witnesses and by inclusion in Roman and Jewish records of the time.
But, regrettably, none of this happened. Instead we have only the often contradictory "testimony" of unknown persons that we now call with undeserved confidence the Gospels According to "Matthew", "Mark", "Luke", and "John".
A Mormon Example
It is troubling that Literalists insist that they are imminently reasonable in accepting the testimony of these unknown persons as God's infallible truth. They certainly would not accept the authenticity of other documents, especially religious ones, that are so weakly authenticated.
For instance, consider the evidence supporting the authenticity of the gospels, which we just discussed, with that offered by the Book of Mormon, at text that most Literalists dismiss as illegitimate at best and Satanic at worst.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (i.e., Mormons), consider the Book of Mormon to be "another Testament of Jesus Christ." Virtually all Literalists reject this claim out of hand despite the fact that the Book of Mormon is far, far better authenticated than the New Testament gospels. For instance, my copy of Book of Mormon (given to me by missionaries who knocked on my door several years ago) contains the following certification in its introduction(redacted for brevity):
"On the evening of the...twenty-first of September [1823]...I betook myself to prayer and supplication to Almighty God....
While I was thus in the act of calling upon God, I discovered a light appearing in my room, which continued to increase until the room was lighter than at noonday, when immediately a personage appeared at my bedside, standing in the air, for his feet did not touch the floor.
[A detailed description of the personage follows]
He called me by name, and said unto me that he was a messenger sent from the presence of god to me, and that his name was Moroni; that God had a work for me to do; and that my name should be had for good and evil among all nations, kindreds, and tongues, or that it should be both good and evil spoken of among all people.
He said there was a book deposited, written upon gold plates, giving an account fo the former inhabitants of this continent, and the source from whence they sprang. He also said that the fulness of the everlasting Gospel was contained in it, as delivered by the Savior to the ancient inhabitants;
Also, that there were two stones in silver bows—and these stones fastened to a breastplate, constituted what is called the Urim and Thummim—deposited with the plates/ and the possession and use of these stones were what constituted Seers in ancient or former times; and that God had prepared them for the purpose of translating this book.
[Detailed descriptions of additional visits by the personage follow]
Convenient to the village of Manchester, Ontario county, New York, stands a hill of considerable size, and the most elevated of any in the neighborhood. On the west side of this hill, not far from the top, under a stone of considerable size, lay the plates, deposited in a stone box. This stone was thick and rounding in the middle on the upper side, and thinner towards the edges, so that the middle part of it was visible above the ground, but the edge all around was covered with earth.
[A detailed descriptions of his recovery of the plates and stones follows, including attempts by others to steal them prior to translation]
Using the stones Urim and Thummim, Joseph Smith tells us in his testimony that he then translated the plates into modern English, resulting in the revelation of the Book of Mormon, "another testament of Jesus Christ". But, we don't have to take just Joseph Smith's word for it, we also have preserved for us the testimony of several named witnesses as follows (taken again from the Introduction to my Book of Mormon):
THE TESTIMONY OF THREE WITNESSES
Be it know until all nations, kindreds, tongues and people, unto who this work shall come: That we, through the grace of God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, have seen the plates which contain this record, which is a record of the people of Nephi, and also of the Lamanites, their brethren, and also of the people of Jared, who came from the tower of which hath been spoken. And we also know that they have been translated by the gift and power of God, for his voice hath declared it unto us; wherefore we know of a surety that the work is true. And we also testify that we have seen the engravings which are upon the plates; and they have been shown unto us by the power of God, and not of man. And we declare with words of soberness, that an angel of God came down from heaven, and he brought and laid before our eyes, that we beheld and saw the plates, and the engravings thereon; and we know it is by the grace of god the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, that we beheld and bear record that these things are true. And it is marvelous in our eyes. Nevertheless, the voice of the Lord commanded us that we should bear a record of it; wherefore, to be obedient unto that commandment of God, we bear testimony of these things. And we know that if we are faithful in Christ, we shall rid our garments of the blood of all men, and be found spotless before the judgment seat of Christ, and shall dwell with him eternally in the heavens. And the honor be to the Father, and to the son, and to the Holy ghost, which is one God. Amen.
Oliver Cowdery
Martin Harris
And additionally, we have the following (too taken from the introduction to the Book of Mormon):
THE TESTIMONY OF EIGHT WITNESSES
Be it known unto all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, unto whom this work shall come: That Joseph Smith, Jun., the translator of this work, has shown unto us the plates of which hath been spoken, which have the appearance of gold; and as many of the leaves as the said Smith has translated we did handle with our hands; and we also saw the engravings thereon, all of which has the appearance of ancient work, and of curious workmanship. And this we bear record with words of soberness, that the said Smith has shown unto us, for we have seen and hefted, and know of a surety that the said Smith has got the plates of which we have spoken. And we give our names unto the world to witness unto the world that which we have seen. And we lie not, God bearing witness of it.
Christian Whitmer Hiram Page
Jacob Whitmer Joseph Smith, Sen.
Peter Whitmer, Jun. Hyrum Smith
John Whitmer Samuel H. Smith
Comparing now the testimony supporting the Book of Mormon to that of the New Testament, we can see that there is simply no comparison. The Book of Mormon identifies its discoverer/translator by name, Joseph Smith. Joseph Smith's testimony is written in the first person and describes events taking place at specific dates and locations where he was personally present. The existence of the plates and of Smith's translation of them is attested to in writing by eleven different named eyewitnesses, all of which are known historical personages. Unlike with the New Testament Gospels, we don't have to wonder who compiled the Book of Mormon, where they did it, when they did it, or whose testimony is represents. We know with certainty.
Does this mean that the Book of Mormon is "true"? Of course not, as most any mainline Literalist will insist. Mosts Literalists reject Mormonism as inauthentic and are often highly critical of it, some going so far as to label it Satanic. Imagine, if the reader would, just how much more critical and dismissive of the book Literalists would be if it were written by an unidentified person at an unknown place at an unnamed time, and counted for its authenticity only the testimony of a church historian with dubious motives who said the he was told by unnamed "elders" that the Book of Mormon had been written by Joseph Smith who said that they heard Joseph Smith say that he heard an angel named Moroni say certain things!

Before being dubbed "country music," the musical stories passed down the hills of Tennessee from generations of working-class Irish and Scottish decedents held a different name: Hillbilly music.
Episode one of Ken Burns' expansive PBS documentary "Country Music" dives into the cross-cultural genesis of this American art form — including the origin of "hillbilly."
The film identifies "hillbilly" as deriving from a 1925 recording session between Ralph Peer, a pioneer of commercializing country music, and a string band fronted by early country player Al Hopkins.

Magazines and newspapers ran with the term, often describing subjects of hillbilly stories as "quaint and quirky." Variety magazine pushing as far as calling some "Illiterate and ignorant, poor white trash."
The segment raises a time-tested debate in Tennessee and beyond: Is 'hillbilly' an offensive term?
Dolly Parton, a country icon rooted in Eastern Tennessee culture, weighed in.
"It doesn't offend us hillbillies, it's our music," Parton said. "But if you're an outsider and you're sayin' it's hillbilly music because you don't know any music, it's almost like a racist remark. If we're hillbillies, we're proud of it, but you're not allowed to say it if you don't really know what you're talkin' about."

The term irked some entertainers, but others ran with it. Hillbilly personas filled radio airwaves as barn dances became appointment programming in American communities, including in Nashville on WSM, where "Country Music" notes that Grand Ole Opry founder George Hay irritated Nashville's upper class by promoting hillbilly imagery.
And, although Billboard adopted the term "country and western" in 1949, "hillbilly" continues to spark conscious media debate into the 21st century.
"Country Music" continues Monday with episode two, "Hard Times," airing on PBS.

At Optometry's Meeting® in June, the AOA presidential baton will be passed. The pass will be relayed seamlessly, says current President Andrea P. Thau, O.D., and President-Elect Christopher J. Quinn, O.D., because of the strength and stability of the AOA. In a Q&A, Drs. Thau and Quinn talk about leadership, the issues ahead and what they bring to the presidency.
What would you consider some of the AOA's biggest accomplishments in the past year?
Dr. Thau: I've had an incredibly rewarding year as AOA president. Together, we achieved a great deal. The Think About Your Eyes national campaign—our public awareness campaign that delivers optometry's about the importance of an in-person, comprehensive eye examination—had its biggest year ever. AOA-PAC had a record fundraising year. We launched AOA+, a first-of-its-kind initiative to engage students and young doctors. We completed renovation the AOA national headquarters on time and under budget. Most significantly, our advocacy efforts were unrelenting. We exposed unscrupulous online contact lens retailers and their failure to meet the standard of care for patients. We supported patient safeguards in telehealth and thwarted VSP's anti-doctor frame policy. We've never been stronger as an organization.
The AOA has adopted four strategic pillars: advocacy; tools to help advance optometric practices and provide the best possible patient care; continuing education; and public awareness. Will you have a signature cause?
Dr. Quinn: I do embrace all four pillars because all four are critically important to the advancement of our profession. But the one that stands out is advocacy. Optometry is a growing profession that will help meet the health care needs of the nation. To grow and meet the demand for the important services we provide, we have to remove barriers that prevent patients' access to optometric care. We have to work to eliminate discrimination and fight for equality with other physician providers. We must continue to expand our scope of practice to be consistent with our training. Without access, equality and enhanced scope of practice, this profession won't be able to easily meet the health needs of our country and its population. Advocating for our patients is what it comes down to.
Dr. Thau: Advocacy is key to our profession. This year we exposed online apps on "Good Morning America" and addressed our concerns in person to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We led a profession-wide debate that yielded a consensus on continuing educational principles and accreditation. We are the leading national voice in defense of in-person patient care, and we pressed the FDA to investigate online vision testing services. We continue to uphold a standard of care in Washington, D.C., and around the country against threats from insurance payers and online retailers from every possible angle.
Dr. Quinn: Advances in technology are very important to doctors' of optometry ability to serve our patients. We embrace new technology every day in the care of our patients. New technology can improve our accuracy and efficiency. But technology can only supplement and enhance the cognitive skills that we obtain during our many years of training and apply to the care of patients. For those who make false claims about what new technology can do, the AOA will continue to be aggressive about educating the public about these false claims. We obviously are concerned about the misuse of technology that leads to either no or inferior care. As doctors of optometry, we understand the pitfalls of the misuse of technology that is not good for patients.
Dr. Thau: Navigating the waters in these turbulent times of health care policy will continue to be one of the biggest challenges for our profession. We must advocate for our patients by protecting the doctor-patient relationship.
Do you feel serving on the AOA Board of Trustees has prepared you to serve as president?
Dr. Quinn: Absolutely. I've been on the board since 2008, and I think it's been great preparation for becoming president. I'm also a former state president (New Jersey) and have been an AOA volunteer for 25 years. Serving on the board is a very necessary maturation process that gives you perspective.
Dr. Thau: It has been a whirlwind year and decade. It's hard to believe that I have been on the board for 10 years. There is a lot of camaraderie, and it has been an honor and privilege to serve with my fellow board members. Immediate Past President Steven A. Looms, O.D., has been very helpful and encouraging to me this year.
Any surprises on the job?
Dr. Thau: I never cease to be amazed by the 'always on' AOA team. From the volunteers to the staff—led by Executive Director Jon Hymes and Associate Executive Director Renee Brauns—to the AOA Board of Trustees, they are working for us 24/7/365.
Dr. Quinn: There are always challenges, both from within and outside of the profession, anticipated and unanticipated. We're in an environment where the health care system in our country is undergoing rapid change, and our profession must change to meet these new demands. Change can sometimes cause discomfort and stress. I imagine this year will be no different than in the past, and we will have to deal with significant change.
What qualities has Dr. Thau brought to the president's role?
Dr. Quinn: Dr. Thau is a great communicator. She has a special gift and passion for bringing the message of optometry to the public. The AOA won't find a better spokesperson.
What qualities will Dr. Quinn bring to the position?
Dr. Thau: Dr. Quinn is brilliant, thoughtful, insightful and analytical. He's going to do an incredible job. Each of us brings a unique skillset to the job; he's grace under pressure. He is always prepared to view every issue from every possible angle. He has a deep knowledge of finances. No matter how impressed you are with him, he somehow manages to always exceed expectations. The AOA will be in great hands with him. It will be a privilege to serve under him as president.

First Mexican restaurant in Warrensburg opens
Ocho Cinco Cantina shares space with Ashes Pub in remodeled Ashe's Hotel
New York State Sen. Betty Little joined the Lotus Group and Ocho Cinco Cantina team for the ceremonial ribbon cutting to mark the opening of the new Warrensburg Mexican eatery.
WARRENSBURG | After a soft launch in January, Ocho Cinco Cantina has officially opened following months of work and capital investment to transform a portion of the historic Ashe's Hotel building at 85 Hudson St. into the new establishment.
Members of the Lotus Group recently held an official ribbon cutting event at the eatery in conjunction with the Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce and featuring New York State Sen. Betty Little, who helped cut the ribbon.
"We have invested more than $200k in the building since acquiring it, including many structural, functional and cosmetic upgrades," said Ash Anand, CEO and president of Lotus Group. "It is an iconic building here in Warrensburg, and we are excited about its rebirth as this unique new dining concept."
The Lotus Group was tasked with reinventing the space after a spring 2018 fire damaged a portion of the building, including its kitchen. Many improvements were made thereafter, including the installation of a new walk-in refrigerator and the creation of dividers between the restaurant and Ashes Pub.
Ocho Cinco Cantina is the first-ever Mexican restaurant to open in Warrensburg and will provide locals and visitors alike with Mexican cuisine as well as a variety of hand-crafted margaritas.
The restaurant's menu merges Tex-Mex, So-Cal and Oaxacan cuisines into one cohesive offering. Owners said the food is prepared fresh on-site, using only high-quality ingredients, yet affordably priced for all budgets. Although the restaurant provides seated, full-service dining, takeout is also available.
Ocho Cinco Cantina opens at noon Wednesday through Sunday. On Mondays and Tuesdays, the restaurant begins serving at 4:30 p.m.

DCODIA app helps student with dyslexia read, saves families thousands
By Joshua HallAugust 15, 2014
What if your child had dyslexia and it cost you an extra $500 a month just to support her reading and other educational needs? You'd do whatever it takes – it's your kid – but you would also wonder if there's a better solution, because at least some of that monthly expenditure should be going toward her college fund and not on make shift technologies that are almost good enough.
Enter DCODIA.
DCODIA is an inexpensive and easy-to-use iPhone app that empowers students with dyslexia to deal with problem words on their own. As any parent, teacher or tutor can attest, students can get very frustrated (even demoralized) when their independence is challenged or they have to keep relying on an adult to get unstuck. I would imagine the same is true and then some for children dealing with dyslexia because they become a target for being different, especially in classrooms.
Here's how DCODIA works. Using an iPhone, the student takes a picture of the problem word or words, and DCODIA dictates the word aloud from the captured image. All of the data is stored and assembled into reports viewed online that can also be exported. In response, parents, teachers or tutors can use the reports to provide customized remediation in decoding strategies.
DCODIA built the app around the Orton-Gillingham (OG) approach, which is a multisensory method of reading instruction that reinforces memory by having the student listen, then read, speak and write the word all at the same time. The app replaces needing someone to be with the student at all times to help with sounding out the words.
In addition to the usage reports that capture problem words, DCODIA's proprietary algorithm that's currently being implemented will offer a layer of data that has never before been available among assistive reading technologies.
"The real magic happens behind the scenes," said Mark LaFay, co-founder and chief operating officer. "We have developed an algorithm that breaks words down and categorizes them in a manner that is truly useful to Orton-Gillingham-trained tutors and reading specialists who provide remediation to students with Dyslexia.
"Currently, there is no solution like ours on the market," LaFay continued. "Parents are forced to piecemeal multiple technologies together to try to help give their kids an edge. They spend, on average, over $500 a month per child with dyslexia to support them through their primary school years. Our technology is cheap and can reduce some of the additional costs that parents may be incurring by utilizing multiple technologies to do what ours can do in one cheap-and-easy package. Further, our technology complements the gold standard, Orton-Gillingham, for dyslexia intervention."
The idea for DCODIA originally came from Co-founder and CEO Kris Parmelee. Her son, Sam, has dyslexia and she tried all sorts of technologies like Kurzweil 3000, Intel Reader, Dyslexia Pen, and various other software and products designed for the visually impaired and not dyslexics. Kris started thinking about the apps on her smartphone and eventually connected with Purdue engineering and tech graduate LaFay. In the beginning, LaFay thought Google Glass would be ideal for a dyslexia solution, but in order to be useful and affordable for the people who most need it, the new business partners zeroed in on the existing iPhone infrastructure as the smarter first step for the startup.
DCODIA is in its second Beta version after just nine months with a group of about 400 users signed up and providing feedback. The startup plans to launch a paid version of the application this fall having learned a lot about how people use technology and smartphone photography.
"The most challenging part of developing DCODIA thus far has been doing it with no money," LaFay said. "We have great relationships with developers, and designers and for whatever reason, they have been very willing to extend us grace during this early-stage of DCODIA's development. We are currently seeking seed funding to kick the project into high gear and we aim to have that process finished by the end of the year."

First of all, she keeps their cabinets categorized. For example: if you have three drawers in your kitchen then use one for baking tools, another one for silverware, and a different one for cutting boards and knives. You are in charge! The top drawer gets whatever you use the most; therefore it will be easier for you to put them away when cleaning.
What does getting everything dirty has to do with tricks for cleaning your kitchen? In my opinion, it has everything to do with! If you schedule time on Sunday to prep for the week´s meals, you will find it way more relaxed during the week to clean your kitchen, why? Well, you will not have to clean all the cutting boards and knives and throw away all of the food scraps every day but only once a week.
Even if you own a dishwasher or not, if you rinse everything as soon as you´re using it I can guarantee you either loading the dishwasher or hand washing your dishes will be a much more comfortable task (this trick I have actually been applying myself for a while now).
Don´t let everything pile up, just watching a vast collection of dishes or a big mess around the kitchen makes me shiver! So then again another tip from my super organized friend. Clean as soon as you finish doing one activity. If you´re preparing a three-course meal, don´t wait until all three courses are done, clean the mess of each one as soon as you finish making it.
This combination does more than just unclogging your drains; they are also great to obtain fantastic cleaning effects. It helps you clean stainless steel; countertops (tile), refresh your refrigerator (it removes terrible odors too), when boiled on a burnt pan it softens the burnt for more natural cleaning, and the best part of it – it is not toxic! It can even be used to clean your coffeemaker.
One thing that makes your kitchen look messy is having a lot of stuff on the countertops, having a lot of free spaces makes everything look pristine. Assign a place for everything under the countertops, leave only the appliances that you use on a daily basis on top and arrange them in a way that they look organized.
Let's be honest, measuring sometimes gets things to be spilled all over the place; so why don´t you do all the measuring over the sink and rinse it as soon as you´re done measuring?
Wiping your stove as soon as you spill something will prevent things like grease to dry up on the stove, etc. If they´re not dry, they will surely be easier to clean.
What other methods do you recommend to clean the kitchen? Tell us about them in the comment section.

OPENING: The Chicago Premiere of A Doll's House, Part 2 Via Steppenwolf Theatre Company January 31 – March 17, 2019
Steppenwolf Theatre Company Presents the Chicago Premiere of
A Doll's House, Part 2
Directed by Robin Witt
Featuring Steppenwolf's First Onstage Audience Seating Experience
Steppenwolf Theatre Company presents the Chicago premiere production of A Doll's House, Part 2 by award-winning playwright Lucas Hnath, helmed by acclaimed director Robin Witt and featuring ensemble members Celeste M. Cooper (Emmy), Sandra Marquez (Nora) and Yasen Peyankov (Torvald), with Barbara Robertson (Anne Marie). Hnath's bitingly funny play continues this classic story 15 years after the infamous door slam that ended Ibsen's original play.
I'll be out for the press performance February 12th, so check back soon for my full review. I've caught Ibsen's original, A Doll's House, many times in many forms, so I'm eager to catch this Chicago premiere sequel, A Doll's House, Part 2 by award-winning playwright Lucas Hnath.

Tickets are available at 312-335- 1650 and steppenwolf.org.

A Doll's House, Part 2 begins previews January 31, 2019 and the production runs through March 17, 2019 in the Downstairs Theatre (1650 N Halsted St). Opening night is Sunday, February 10. Tickets ($20-$99) are on sale now through Audience Services at 312-335-1650 or steppenwolf.org.
As a door slams in 1879 Norway, a young wife and mother leaves behind her family, freeing herself from the shackles of traditional societal constraints. Now, 15 years later, that same door opens to reveal Nora, a changed woman with an incredibly awkward favor to ask the people who she abandoned. Lucas Hnath's bitingly funny sequel to Ibsen's revolutionary masterpiece unfolds in a series of bristling stand-offs that reveal in Nora's world, much like our own, behind every opinion there is a person, and a slamming door isn't just an end, but also the chance for a new beginning.

Director Robin Witt shares, "The play is so stunning, funny, and smart. A Doll's House, Part 2 is an extraordinary, contemporary conversation of how we battle and negotiate the expectations of both our loved ones and our community. The audience does not have to be familiar with the Ibsen source material to recognize the power of Lucas Hnath's sequel. I'm beyond thrilled to be working with the Steppenwolf ensemble on this sharply provocative play."
Lucas Hnath's plays include A Doll's House, Part 2 (8 Tony® nominations, including Best Play); Hillary and Clinton; Red Speedo; The Christians (produced by Steppenwolf in 2016); A Public Reading of an Unproduced Screenplay About the Death of Walt Disney; Isaac's Eye; and Death Tax. He has been produced on Broadway at the John Golden Theatre, Off-Broadway at New York Theatre Workshop, Playwrights Horizons, Soho Rep, and Ensemble Studio Theatre. His plays have been produced nationally and internationally with premieres at the Humana Festival of New Plays, Victory Gardens and South Coast Rep. He has been a resident playwright at New Dramatists since 2011. Awards include the Kesselring Prize, Guggenheim Fellowship, Whiting Award, two Steinberg/ATCA New Play Award Citations, Outer Critics Circle Award for Best New Play, an Obie and the Windham-Campbell Literary Prize.

Стэрил Честер Остин-младший (; 16 сентября 1920, Кондон, Орегон, США — 1 января 2015, Сейлем, там же) — американский военный деятель, бригадный генерал ВВС США.

Стэрил Остин родился в 1920 году в Орегоне. В составе Военно-воздушных сил в качестве пилота самолёта-истребителя он принимал участие во Второй мировой и корейской войнах. После начала холодной войны Остин был отозван в США, где занимал ряд важных командных постов на уровне штата Орегон. Выйдя в отставку в звании бригадного генерала, Остин был назначен на пост директора Департамента по делам ветеранов штата, который он занимал в течение трёх лет. После ухода на пенсию Остин более 20 лет продолжал заниматься делами ветеранов и помогал организации бой-скаутов, не прерывая связей со своими боевыми товарищами. Он скончался в 2015 году в возрасте 94 лет.

Биография

Молодые годы
Стэрил Честер Остин родился 16 сентября 1920 года в городе  в штате Орегон. Его отцом был Стэрил Честер Остин-старший (1891—1965), а матерью — Мейбл Жакинта, в девичестве Макморрис (1898—1993). Позже семья переехала в Бенд, а в 1929 году в Сейлем. В 1938 году Остин окончил .

Вторая мировая война
С раннего возраста Стэрил интересовался авиацией и в 1941 году поступил на службу в Воздушный корпус Армии США. 23 сентября 1942 года он был переведён в гражданскую лётную программу , где начал тренировки на четырёх типах различных самолётов. 1 октября 1943 года Остину было присвоено звание второго лейтенанта, после чего он стал инструктором на «Republic P-47 Thunderbolt», перед отправкой в Европу. Во время Второй мировой войны Остин совершил 58 боевых вылетов в составе  , обеспечивающего поддержку с воздуха наземных войск, наступающих во Франции, Бельгии, Нидерландах и Германии, в частности при Арденнской операции. Позже в интервью он признавался, что, будучи пилотом «P-47 Thunderbolt», не участвовал в воздушных «собачьих» боях — «мы были, как правило, ниже 10000 футов… обстреливая все, что двигалось, грузовики или поезда, делая всё, что могло помочь пресечь поставки немецким войскам». Остин считал себя счастливчиком и отмечал, что был чуть не сбит 88-миллиметровой немецкой зенитной артиллерией, пули которой «прошли близко от носа моего самолета».

Служба после войны
После окончания войны Остин присоединился к ВВС Национальной гвардии в штате Оклахома, где ещё до войны изучал авиационную технику. Он принял участие в корейской войне, во время которой совершал полёты на «Republic F-84 Thunderjet», но позже был отозван во Францию, для работы в НАТО во время холодной войны. После возвращения в Соединенные Штаты в 1953 году он поступил в  и вместе с семьёй поселился в Портленде, а в 1958 году был назначен в Военный департамент Орегона и переехал в Сейлем. Позже он занимал должности  и начальника административного отдела, а также командующего . В 1963 году он был произведен в  и назначен помощником генерал-адъютанта штата Орегон. В 1971 году во время обращения за юридическим заключением к   в Пендлтоне Остин, будучи членом , отрицал использование конвенций организации как средства для расовой дискриминации. Так как в члены ордена не принимали афроамериканцев, Джонсон отметил, что федеральное субсидирование ассоциации будет нарушать  и, вероятно, закон штата. В 1973 году Остин был назначен заместителем генерал-адъютанта, продержавшись на этой должности до своей отставки.

В отставке
Прослужив 37 лет в авиации, Остин вышел в отставку в 1981 году и вместе с полковником Джон Х. Барденом присутствовал на параде в свою честь на ,. Позже, 9 января того же года губернатор штата Орегон Виктор Атия назначил Остина на пост директора , который он занимал до декабря 1984 года. Одной из задач Остина было наблюдение за распределением пяти миллиардов долларов на дома и фермерские программы кредитования, однако он столкнулся с финансовыми трудностями. Некоторые из его усилий по выравниванию уровня бюджета, такие, как повышение процентных ставок по кредитам с плавающей ставкой, встретили сопротивление, а в некоторых случаях и подачу исков. Сторонники Стэрила, в том числе губернатор и казначей штата, выдали ему кредит для принятия непопулярных мер по повышению финансовой составляющей программы. В статье «Associated Press» от 1984 года время нахождения Остина на посту директора было описано, как «четыре бурных года на одном из самых заметных и горячих властных постов в штате».

На пенсии
После ухода из департамента Остин на общественных началах работал в Консультативном комитете ветеранов при губернаторе и Совете директоров Центра помощи ветеранам Орегона. Он лоббировал интересы ветеранов в Законодательной ассамблее Орегона и на административном уровне помогал организации . В 2005 году он стал национальным вице-президентом Ассоциации лётчиков «P-47 Thunderbolt», а 21 октября 2007 года введён в Зал авиационной славы Орегона.

Смерть и похороны
Стэрил Честер Остин-младший скончался 1 января 2015 года в возрасте 94 лет в Сейлеме. Он пережил своего брата Уильяма и сестёр Жакинту Барнс и Розмари Даунинг, оставив после себя брата Чарльза. Похороны состоялись 10 января на , а поминальная служба — в Первой христианской церкви Сейлема.

Личная жизнь
Был женат на Жаклин Джадд Остин. У них родились два сына: Стивен и Эндрю. Стэрил Остин был активным членом Первой христианской церкви Сейлема, любил сидеть с двумя внуками Эндрю Ван-Де-Босом и Трейвором Остином, а также читать журналы о самолётах.

Награды
За свою карьеру Стэрил Остин был награждён , медалью «За выдающиеся заслуги» ВВС США, Орденом «Легион почёта», Воздушной медалью с семью дубовыми листьями, медалью «За Европейско-африканско-ближневосточную кампанию» с четырьмя звёздами за службу.

Q: Novel about an immortal man exposed by world government relates his life through history I read the book from my local library in the early- to mid- seventies. It was hardcover (library bound) and the dust jacket had a printed burlap or canvas background. The back flap mentioned that the author's name was a pseudonym. The book had lots of conversation, anecdotes and opinions with little to no 'action'.  I came away with impression that the author wasn't a professional writer, but rather more like a history professor with an academic reputation to protect.
It begins shortly after the formation of a world government, and the President of Earth is presiding over the trial of Earth's only immortal man, for the crime of withholding the secret of immortality. Much of the book is taken up by his narration of stories of his life, from his birth in prehistoric times to the present. This could almost be the backstory of 'The Man From Earth', but IIRC he was never a famous person.
One anecdote I remember is what he called 'Pavlov's Other Experiment', with the supposed discoveries by the scientist after the surprising results of the 1924 Leningrad flood. The novelist added a vitamin deficiency factor that became an important plot point. There was also a story I recall as being very amusing about a British military steamship in Egypt before or during the occupation in the eighteen hundreds.
And finally, as a major plotline (such as it is), everybody is taught the simple trick to become immortal. When dead people are cloned and become 99.99% similar, their soul and memories are reunited with their bodies and they are taught immortality; time-traveling robots collect DNA from everyone who has ever lived and they become immortal as well.
This is not Bixby's "A Man From Earth", Anderson's "Boat of a Million Years", Heinlein's Lazarus Long, Borges' "The Immortal", Zelanzny's "This Immortal". The main character was not a time traveler or the Wandering Jew. It is possible I'm getting the similarity thing confused with van Vogt's Null-A, but there was something like that.
The immortal man was likely 6000-8000 years old, and the time of the novel in a future not far from now. His prehistoric tribal roots being near the invention of agriculture? (maybe)

A: Are you looking for the Lazarus Long books?  There are several... my favorite is "Time Enough for Love".  In one of the LL stories (I think it is TEFL), I believe that he is on trial for "hiding" the "secret" to immortality, which is not so much a secret as it is an inherent part of his DNA, making him not immortal but incredibly long-lived, which is somewhat inheritable by his descendants.  He escapes earth to later return and find that humanity found the "secret" to rejuvenation.  Rejuvenation makes other extremely long-lived, but essentially makes him (with his improved DNA) immortal... funny that.

An event speaker with an impressive resume can significantly contribute to the size of your guest list. Whether they're an industry thought-leader or providing the entertainment, event speakers are meant to engage the audience, pique their interest, and an event draw.
However, an event speaker with even the strongest resume can still make some missteps and lose the interest of attendees. According to Event Manager Blog, an event speaker should consider the following points to ensure they have a successful presentation.
Have you ever sat through a presentation only to glance at your watch so often that it feels like time is standing still? This is a terrible implication that a speaker has been on stage far too long. Speakers should be very clock-conscience and realize that a short presentation can be more effective than a long-winded one.
Going off script when it's appropriate is very entertaining. Playing off an audience keeps a presentation fresh, but it's important to recognize when to stick to what you know. Ad-libbing provides an opportunity for the unexpected, and the unexpected is the quickest way to derail a presentation.
An event speaker should be an expert in their industry, but that doesn't mean the audience is on the same page. Using too much industry language – or shop talk – can alienate the audience and confuse them.
Technology goes a long way when it comes to engaging an audience. In addition to providing compelling visuals, technology allows attendees to be part of the experience through polls and other engagement tools. However, a speaker should always have a backup plan in the event of uncooperative tech.
People who attend speaking sessions probably want to know more than the presenter offers upfront. An excellent presenter is available to the audience in numerous ways. They shouldn't be afraid to expand on certain areas and answer questions or concerns. Holding a questions and answers session at the end is the perfect forum to be accessible to the audience.
Speakers have a positive impact on any agenda, and they can help add an educational aspect to an event. Finding a great event speaker can be a difficult task, but the team at Fourth Wall Events has years of experience identifying complementary individuals.
Contact Fourth Wall Events and let's turn your next event into a can't-miss affair!

I had the privilege of meeting Samantha and her family at the 2014 Charleston, WV Bridal Expo last winter. She was such a sweet girl who wore her excitement on her sleeve over the prospect of planning her dream wedding to her dream guy. She was so easy to talk to and she called me back within days of the expo to book us to shoot her wedding photography. Going into their engagement shoot we knew right away it was going to be a super fun day with a super fun couple.
The early spring provided us with beautiful warm weather and the perfect evening light and we discovered right away that were going to love photographing this couple and documenting such an incredible season of their lives. They never stopped laughing (typically at Joe's expense) and were very comfortable in front of the camera.
We spent the evening strolling around downtown Charleston, WV and just stopping at anything that captured our eye along the way. It felt more like hanging out with old friends rather than photographing an engagement portrait session of a couple we had just met. The results of that meant snagging one of our favorite engagement sessions from the season. We hope you catch the contagious love and fun this couple is while browsing their Charleston, WV Engagement Photos!

DP World Buys Servies Firm
5 Jul 2019 News in Brief Vol / Issue: 62 / 27
Dubai-based global ports operator DP World has bought Dubai-headquartered offshore support vessels operator Topaz Marine & Energy for $1.089bn from Oman's Renaissance Services and the UK's Standard Chartered Private Equity. The company operates a fleet of 117 vessels, predominantly in its core Caspian Sea market but also in the Mena region and West Africa.
DP World itself was the subject of the Gulf's largest ever IPO, after the Dubai government floated 19.55% on the Dubai exchange in 2007. This raised $4.22bn to value the company at $21.58bn. Among the largest Gulf IPOs since are 2017's $1.31bn listing of Dubai real estate firm Emaar Development and $851mn listing of Abu Dhabi's Adnoc Distribution (MEES, 16 February 2018).

Die evangelische, denkmalgeschützte Dorfkirche Klandorf steht in Klandorf, einem Ortsteil der Gemeinde Schorfheide im Landkreis Barnim in Brandenburg. Sie gehört zum Kirchenkreis Barnim der Evangelischen Kirche Berlin-Brandenburg-Schlesische Oberlausitz.

Beschreibung
Das mit einem Satteldach bedeckte Langhaus der neugotischen Saalkirche aus vier Jochen wurde 1868/69 aus gelben Backsteinen gebaut. Ihre Wände werden von abgetreppten Strebepfeilern gestützt. Der Kirchturm im Norden wurde 1914 aus demselben Material angebaut und mit einem schiefergedeckten, spitzen Helm bedeckt.

Im Innenraum treten die Strebepfeiler als Wandvorlagen hervor. Auf ihnen sitzen Konsolen, die den offenen Dachstuhl tragen. Die Kirchenausstattung stammt aus der Bauzeit des Langhauses. Dazu gehören ein Kanzelaltar mit einem polygonalen Korb der Kanzel, der seitlich von oktogonalen Pfeilern flankiert wird, und ein achteckiges, gusseisernes Taufbecken. Die Orgel auf der Empore im Norden hat sieben Register auf einem Manual und Pedal, wurde 1906 von Friedrich Kienscherfs Söhnen gebaut und zuletzt 2009 instand gesetzt.

Saint Lucia"s economy showed measurable signs of recovery in 2015 after a weak performance over the previous three years. Real GDP growth was estimated at 1.3 percent fuelled by improved performances in the construction, transport and agriculture sectors. The turn-around in growth was also supported by appreciable increases in output of the manufacturing, utilities and wholesale and distribution sectors. However, the financial services and real estate, renting and business services sectors remained weak.
The improved fortunes of the construction sector accounted for the largest share of the total increase in output in 2015. The sector is estimated to have expanded by 7.4 percent in 2015 in contrast to three consecutive years of decline. Much of the reversal in the sector"s performance was driven by private sector investment related to the construction and upgrading of hotels and commercial buildings. The construction sector was also the largest contributor to increases in the number of persons employed in 2015.
The tourism sector continued to perform well with increases in the number of stayover visitors of 2.0 percent to a record 344,908. The sector benefited from appreciable increases in arrivals from the US, the largest and most lucrative source market. Spurred mainly by the growth in the US market, total visitor expenditure increased by an estimated 3.2 percent to $2.08 billion. The increase in the number of visitors was also supported by higher cruise ship passenger arrivals of 5.6 percent. However an 8.7 percent reduction in European stay over arrivals and 2.7 percent decline in bed nights tempered otherwise positive sector developments.


A big screen will absolutely spoil you.
1998: Did you ever buy a computer, only to have them introduce a faster, more powerful model within months – sometimes at an even lower price? Better yet, did you ever have it not happen?
1998: I couldn't believe the headline. The Clinton administration is asking the United States Postal Service to devise a system of permanent email addresses. The great benefit of a permanent email address is that, once you have it, you can use it forever, even if you change Internet service providers. How forward-looking!
Apple Too Popular for Its Own Good?
1998.08: Don Crabb wrote today about Apple's backorder problems (Supply and Demand, MacCentral, no longer online). Almost all dealers are out of iMacs, PowerBooks are back ordered, and Power Macs are hard to get. The price of success?
Hello (again). Do you remember the first Mac, the one that didn't even have a model number? The amazing 8 MHz 68000 CPU, crystal clear 9″ b&w screen, huge 400 KB floppy drive, and radical mouse?
August 1998: The iMac is Apple's most important product roll-out since the original Macintosh. A column by Jim Davis on Cnet (The iMac's Ancestors) reminded me how like and unlike the two computers are. Here's a comparison of features.
August 1999: Last November I said that Macs needed parallel ports. I got a lot of letters on that, some saying I made a lot of sense. Others said parallel ports would soon be obsolete, replaced with the Universal Serial Bus (USB) and FireWire.
August 1998: I've been looking forward to the latest issue of PC Magazine, the one that looks at sub-$1,000 (sub-$1K) Windows systems. So many "experts" are chiding Apple for releasing a $1,300 computer when (they say) buyers really want sub-$1K PCs.
August 1998: Way back when, Apple invented a business version of the Apple II. The Apple /// was an incompatible bust in both its original 128 KB incarnation and the later 192 KB version. It didn't quite kill Apple.
1998: Once upon a time there were no computers. We've come a long way, baby! The first computers were pretty primitive by any standard. There was no software – you had to wire the computer for its intended task. Then came neat things like software on punch cards, paper tape, and eventually hard drives.
August 1998: The iMac is an impressive computing value: performance, expansion, and the world's greatest OS. But it's not designed for everyone.

Q: flex-wrap: wrap; does not work correctly with mutltiple flex-boxes I have a DIV with two flex-boxes, the DIV itself is also a flex-box. I want both flex-boxes to wrap; therefore, I assigned flex-wrap: wrap; to the parent DIV. However, this behaves correctly until the flex box has multiple lines.
I'll try to explain it with images:
The following images show the behavior I want everywhere. All the boxes wrap.

However, when I add multiple DIV's with the class .book so that the browser needs multiple lines to display it, the wanted behavior vanishes. The item with the big plus sign and the id #add-book takes up a whole new line. However, I want it to wrap.

This is the HTML code, every book/box added, is another DIV in the DIV[id="added-books"] with the class of .book. This code would be displayed as shown in the first screenshot. I've just duplicated the DIV with the class of .book and the ID of #Second Book five times.

#books,
#added-books {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}

#add-book {

How can I achieve that, if I have multiple lines of book/boxes/divs, the plus-sign DIV with the id of #add-book wraps as in the first screenshot? Thanks for your help in advance.

A: If you want the books and add-book to all wrap together, they must participate in the same flexbox.
This is what display:contents was designed for - to remove intermediate boxes from the box tree, so that elements at lower levels of the DOM could participate in the same flexbox or grid. Here, the box to be removed is the one that would otherwise be generated by the #added-books element.
So

#added-books {
  display:contents;
}

#books {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
}

.book, #add-book{
    display: block;
    border: solid 1px black;
    border-radius: 5px;

    box-shadow: 5px 5px 20px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);

    height: 20em;
    width: 13em;
    margin: 2em;
    padding: 1em;

    position: relative;
    z-index: 1;
}

.book hr {
    border: none;
    background-color: black;
    width: 80%;
    height: 2px;
    border-radius: 5px;

Ted Conover's most recent book is Newjack: Guarding Sing Sing.
There's a moment in "Newjack" where I'm driving a prisoner from Sing Sing up to a different prison upstate. We eat dinner at a service area on the Throughway and he comments that once he's out, he wants to be a trucker. In other words, after confinement he wants to move, constantly.
And once I finished at Sing Sing, I felt the same way. I took an assignment for National Geographic about a new road between the east and west coasts of South America, and got to thinking there was a book to be written about roads – their power to change the places they connect and the people who use them. Now I've finished the research and am completing the writing of it. There are five roads, in five different countries, and I traveled each one in the company of someone to whom the road means something special. So it's passages through some cool parts of the world as well as a meditation on the meaning of roads, now and in the past: how the same road that brings medicine allows for the spread of AIDS, how a road that helps develop the Andes speeds destruction of the rain forest. Every road is an intention; each is a path of human endeavor.
The information superhighway is also pretty interesting to me – sometimes too interesting. Wasting time, for me, used to be all about the phone, the refrigerator, the mail, the garden. Now it's about the Internet. I recently moved the "new messages" indicator on my e-mail program off the screen so I won't be distracted. That's the curse. But being able to send out a question and hear back within hours, or even minutes, from somebody in Lagos, the West Bank, China – that's the blessing.
Denver's Tattered Cover, my hometown bookstore, lately shelves my books in "Cultural Studies." There you'll find Newjack between Bill Bradley's "New American Story" and the "New York Intellectuals Reader" (ed. Neil Jumonvilla). "Whiteout," my book about Aspen in the 80s which I've always thought of as a kind of ethnography, is nicely bookended by "White Man's Burden: Why the West's Effort to Aid the Rest Have Done So Much Ill and So Little Good," by William Easterly, and "Who Really Cares: Who Gives, Who Doesn't and Why It Matters," by Arthur Brooks.
"Rolling Nowhere," about my months of riding freight trains with hobos, is presently sold out at the Tattered Cover; most bookstores place it in travel writing, if they have such a section, or even next to guide books. Usually "Coyotes," about my year with Mexican migrants, can be found in sociology or current affairs. As long as they keep it out of biology (I've seen that twice), I don't complain.
