IT is the preacher's business to endeavor to make plain to the people the meaning of the word, FAITH. Inasmuch as salvation comes by believing, it is most important that men should know what believing is–and though we have to preach upon many topics and take the whole range of the Word of God–yet it often behooves the minister of Christ to dwell especially upon the way whereby men are saved and to explain what is that step by which they enter into eternal life. You may think that it is very easy to explain faith and so it is, but it is still easier to confuse people with your explanation. There is nothing simpler in the world than to believe in Christ Jesus, yet probably there is nothing more difficult than to explain to a man what it is to believe in the Lord Jesus–not that the thing, itself, is difficult, but the explaining of it is not so easy.
You remember the story, perhaps, of Mr. Thomas Scott, a very excellent commentator, who brought out an edition of John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, to which he had written very excellent and, I think that I must add, very dull notes. On going round his parish, he called on an aged person and found her studying the book. "Well, my good woman," said he, "I see that you are reading Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress." "Yes, Sir," she replied, "I always enjoy that book." "And, pray, do you understand it?" "Yes, Sir, I understand it very well and I think that, by the Grace of God, I shall one day understand your explanation of it"–which was not very complimentary to Mr. Scott! So, I have no doubt that there are many who better understand what faith is without our explanations. It is so easy to darken counsel by words without knowledge and to give illustrations which, themselves, need to be illustrated, and definitions which need to be defined. I am afraid of doing that, tonight–I see my difficulty and I cry to God to help me to put faith very plainly before every sinner here–that you may all know what it is and may at once exercise it.
I have met with a large number of persons who have believed in Christ who were accustomed to hear the Gospel preached and to have faith explained to them, but in almost every case they have told me that they did not know what faith was till they, themselves, believed and, although they were told a hundred times over that it was simply trusting in Christ, they still did not get a hold of the right idea–they still entertained the thought that there was something to be felt, something to be done, something to be endured, something or other more than the simple casting of themselves upon Christ for eternal salvation! I have also noticed how, when I have tried to use illustrations, the friend to whom I have spoken has not been affected by them and has not understood my illustrations.
"But," he said, "I cannot fall." "Oh, my dear Friend," I replied, you do not catch the idea at all, because it is not a thing that a man can do. He falls because he cannot help it–there is no effort in falling, it is cessation from effort." Still, though I put it, as I thought, so that he ought to understand it, he did not comprehend it. It was sometime later when the Holy Spirit revealed it to him, that he came to understand what faith was. Perhaps you ask, "Are we such dolts that we do not even understand plain Saxon language when it has to do with spiritual things?" Ah, my Hearers, sin has made fools of us! Sin has so befooled us that even God's Word, itself, does not convey God's meaning to our stupid minds until the Spirit of God comes and teaches our reason, reason–and takes the film from our eyes and helps us to see what is, in itself, plain as a pikestaff–but is not plain to us by reason of our sinful and corrupt nature! Before I try, then, to preach about what faith is, may I ask you to pray the Holy Spirit to come and open men's eyes, that they may see what faith is? For truly, as we know not what we should pray for as we ought, we know not how to believe as we ought! And we make mistakes on this simplest of all subjects until the Holy Spirit sets us right. Divine Spirit, we believe in You, but we do not believe in ourselves! We see, in some measure, how stupid, how ignorant we are. Come, we pray You, and teach us even the first lesson of the Doctrines of Christ, teach us to believe in Jesus!
If you want to cut a diamond, you must cut it with a diamond–so, if you want to explain Scripture, you must explain it with Scripture. I thought, therefore, that I would take three expressions from the Old Testament which may help to set forth what faith really is.
See then, trusting in God, that is, faith, is the same thing as hiding under the shadow of God's wings by way of refuge. Let me explain that figure, first, as relating to birds beneath their mother's wings. There is a hawk in the sky, the hen sees it, she begins to give her warning "cluck." The little chickens hardly know what the danger is, but they understand the mother's call and they see her crouching down on the ground. Have you ever seen her close to the earth, with her wings outspread and calling and calling again till every one of her chicks comes and hides beneath her wings? They are out of sight of the bird of prey–if that hawk comes down at all, it will have to attack the hen and kill her before it can reach her chicks. The pecks of its bill, the tearing of its talons will have to be, first, upon the mother bird, for her little ones are all hidden beneath the cover of her wings.
I put myself behind my Savior. I say to God, Deal not with me–deal with my dying Savior! My God, I interpose between Your wrath and my guilty head, the Sacrifice which He presented on the Cross, when He bowed His head and said, 'It is finished!'"
The act of the chickens hiding away beneath the hen's wings is a very good description of the act of faith.
It may be further illustrated by travelers hiding beneath a rock. Journeying through hot countries, they find towards noon that the air is very sultry and that the sandy soil beneath them reflects the heat of the sun. They seem to be traveling in a hot bath and they feel faint and weary. But yonder there is a great rock cropping out of the soil and under its shadow the heat is not felt. I have often been struck with the singular coolness that there is just by the side of a great rock. I have, myself, sometimes stood out in the sunshine in the South of France and it has been so hot that I have felt ready to faint–and I have just stepped back within the shadow of a rock and found it almost as chilly as a vault! Refreshing, indeed, has it been to get into the cooler atmosphere!
Well, now, Christ is the shadow of a great Rock in a weary land–and if you and I come to Him, and let His shadow come between us and the burning heat of the sun of Divine Justice, the heat will fall on the Rock–not on us. We shall be safe and refreshed and the Rock will screen us from all evil. Come and put Christ between you and God! He is the Interposer between God and man and that is true faith which gets to the side of the Rock, Christ, and hides away beneath His sheltering shade!
Take another Biblical metaphor, that of the manslayer hiding in the City of Refuge. That was a part of the Law, you remember. If one had killed a man inadvertently and not of malice, the next of kin of the man killed could seek revenge and he followed up the manslayer–and the poor man's only hope of life was to hurry away as quickly as ever he could to a refuge city belonging to the priests. If he could once pass through the gate of a City of Refuge, he was sure of a fair trial and could not be put to death by the avenger of blood. Oh, how he hurried! How his feet seemed to fly over the soil, especially if he saw the avenger at some little distance following him with hot feet! But once let the city gate be shut, he breathed freely within the sacred streets–he was safe! Come, guilty souls, and fly away to Christ, as the manslayer fled away to the City of Refuge and, once safe in Him, with Jesus as the great Gate between you and the avenger of blood, you are perfectly safe! Do you comprehend and catch the thought? It is hiding away in Christ, from the pursuit of vengeance, from the righteous wrath of God, that brings safety.
Another illustration comes in here, it is that of the conies hiding in the rocks–"The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks." A coney was not exactly like a rabbit–a rabbit hardly dwells among rocks–but this creature was always found in holes and crannies of the rocks. Poor little coney, a dog is after it and the sportsman seeks to destroy it. But there is an opening in the rock and he slips in there and is perfectly safe. The dog barks and the coney's little heart beats fast, but barking will not kill conies! The sportsman looks up and down, but he cannot see the coney–he can see the rock, but he cannot see the coney within the rock. The coney has hidden right away from the keenest sight of the man who would destroy him.
Now, just hide in that way in Christ, who died for guilty men! Trust Him. Believe Him. Believe that He will save you. Hide yourself in the Rock of Ages and then, though you may feel some fears, you will have no need of any. Once safe in Christ, all is well with you! You know that when a ship has been driven by a storm and the winds are out, the mariners hasten to the harbor. When they got into port, down goes the anchor! The rattle of the chains is one of the most pleasant sounds ever heard when one is seasick and worn out with a tempest-tossed voyage. Down goes the anchor–well, but when the motion of the ship still keeps on, she rocks to and fro–yes, but the anchor is down, the fear is all over! No matter how the vessel rocks, the winds cannot drive her out of the harbor. She is safe in port and the anchor is down–all is well with her. Oh, if tonight you can let the anchor go right down into the deeps and trust Christ–get a grip on Christ and hold on to Christ–you may have some fears and there may be some tossing for you yet to endure, but all is well! As the ship hides itself in the harbor, so do you hide away in Christ, saying with David, "In the shadow of Your wings will I make my refuge." This is faith.
and see Christ on His Judgement Throne, I hope, still, to shelter in the Rock of Ages! Do the same, dear Sister! Do the same, dear Brother! May the Holy Spirit lead you to do it now! Remember that you have to believe for yourself–the Holy Spirit will not believe for you–He cannot believe for you. How can He? He has nothing to believe. It is you who saves–it could not be the faith of the Holy Spirit–it must be the sinner's own faith though it is worked in him by the Spirit of God. Therefore, believe and live unto God!
II. Having dwelt on that illustration long enough, I ask you, now, to notice another expression in Psalm 55, verse 22–"Cast your burden upon the Lord and He shall sustain you." This passage sets forth faith as ROLLING OUR BURDEN UPON GOD.
Well, then, if the burden is laid upon Christ, then we have not to bear it ourselves. Notice that. Some will say, "We trust Christ, but yet we are not at ease." How is that? If you have trusted Christ, you have rolled your burden upon Him–it is no longer upon you. I do not know whether there are still, near Ludgate Hill, as there used to be, certain rests for burden bearers. You might have seen the porter come toiling up to that spot and, as he shifted his burden onto the rest, he was, himself, relieved of the load. I have often looked at one of those rests at Mentone and seen the women come along the road with huge baskets of lemons or oranges on their heads and, as soon as they have reached this kind of table, they have put their burden on it, sat down and rested a while.
Now, when they put their basket of oranges there, it is not on their head, is it? There is the beauty of rolling your burden upon Christ! When He takes it, it is not on you any longer. A thing cannot be in two places at one time! And when, by faith, I lay my burden down at Jesus' feet, I do not have it anymore! If my sin is laid on Him, it does not any longer lie on me! Come, poor Soul, here is the act of faith–to take the mighty burden that will crush you lower than the lowest Hell–and lay it on Christ, your Savior!
When the burden is on Him, and not on us, the burden is not ours to take up again. I have heard that some of our rests in London were done away with because porters were known to come and put their loads on them, and sit down a while and, afterwards, get up and go home without them. You would hardly believe they could be so forgetful, but people do strange things. However, that is a mistake that I want you to make with regard to Christ, for there is no mistake in it! Lay your sin on Him by an act of faith, but do not take it up again! I never can believe, as some do, in God forgiving our sin and afterwards laying it to our account. I believe that in the day when our sin was laid on Christ, it was all laid there, and taken away from His people, never to be charged against them again! "As far as the East is from the West, so far has He removed our transgressions from us." How far is the East from the West? If you could travel, like a ray of light, as far eastward as you pleased–while another went as far westward as he could desire–you might go on forever and forever, and yet not meet. The distance, so far as created things can be, is infinite–and so far has the Lord removed our transgressions from us. If we, by faith, lay our sins upon Christ, God Himself forgets them and casts them behind His back, so that He says that if they are searched for, they shall not be found anymore forever.
Do that, I pray you! Roll your burden upon the Lord. Trust in Him–to roll your burden upon Him is to trust Him! I do not know a better figure by which to set faith forth. Oh, that God the Holy Spirit may use it, tonight, to the unburdening of many poor souls!
The word, "stay," means, "lean." If I cannot stand, if I feel giddy, I naturally put out my hand. And if I feel faint, I lean upon some support and, the more faint I am, the more I lean. At this moment, I lean my whole weight upon this platform rail, just so. If this rail gives way, I must go down. I am leaning, staying myself wholly here. Now that is what you have to do with Christ–lean on Him with all your weight of sin and sorrow–lean on Jesus Christ and lean hard! Do not try to hold yourself up, now–throw yourself right on Him, lean on Him, rest on Him, let Him bear the whole of your weight. Stay yourself upon Him.
In order to do that, you must believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is able to bear you up. Do you not believe it? He is God as well as Man. He has offered an all-sufficient Atonement to God. He is well-pleasing to the Father. He is the Lord, strong and mighty–a Savior–and a great One! Lean on Him and lean hard. Did anyone say, "I am afraid to trust Christ lest He may not be able to bear me up"? Oh, dear Friend, do not talk so! It seems so absurd. I remember a good old lady who would never go over the Saltash bridge at Plymouth. She looked up at it and said that she did not believe that it would ever bear her weight. There were great luggage trains that went rolling over it, but, still, she always said that it would not bear her. You smile, do you? Now, just think that you are that old woman–you are doing a more foolish thing than she did if you cannot trust Christ with your weight! Christ who is Omnipotent to save! How foolish you must be! He is able to save you. He is able to save unto the uttermost them that come unto God by Him! Therefore stay yourself upon Him.
perseverance, and every Grace that you need to make you meet to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light, Christ will give it all to you! Depend upon Him for it all! You will never have ease of mind, you will never know what full salvation means till you just give yourself up, as though you were dead, that He might be your life. Resign yourself to Christ, as a wandering sheep has to do to the shepherd when he takes it by the legs and throws it on his shoulders and carries it home, rejoicing. Christ can save–He will save–therefore, stay yourself upon Him!
If you do, you shall have perfect peace. "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You: because he trusts in You." I should like to begin preaching, again, with that for my text, "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You: because he trusts in You." If you have not perfect peace, it is because you are not staying yourself on God as you ought to do. There is no other way of coming to a perfect rest but by a perfect leaning upon Christ. Will you do that tonight? If a man were to get one foot on a rock, he might stand very well. Suppose that he puts the other foot on the sand? The sea comes up, the sand is treacherous and his foot begins to sink. I should recommend him to get wholly on that bit of rock and to stand there. Do so, then–stay yourself wholly upon Christ. Have no confidence in yourself, in Baptism, in sacraments, in prayers, in good works, in anything but the finished work of Christ–and when you get there, you are on a foundation that can never be moved!
There was a famous cardinal, in Luther's day, who fought tremendously against the Reformer, but he said, in the course of the discussion, that, seeing that there is much in our good works that is faulty, and no man can be quite sure that he has done enough good works to save him–upon the whole it is better to trust only to the merits of Christ. Well, the best of everything always suits me and if that is the best, I will let other people have the second best and I will just trust in Christ, and trust in Christ, alone. Oh, that you would all do so tonight! Have done with yourself! Have done with your good works! Have done with your bad ones–have done with any reliance upon self, whatever–and just come as you are and trust Christ who died for the guilty and undeserving!
O bankrupt Sinner! O Sinner without a hope, come and just stay yourself upon the immovable foundation of the atoning Sacrifice of Christ and you shall find eternal life tonight! Yes, even tonight! God grant it, for Jesus' sake! Amen.

Q: Laravel memory exception 'Database/Connection.php:301' I got a strange bug going down here, sometimes select queries dies from a memory exception. The big problem here is that I've never been able to see the error by myself. I know its existence from users and the laravel.log file that contains things like :
[2015-03-05 11:46:07] production.ERROR: exception 'Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException' with message 'Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 196605 bytes)' in [...]/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Database/Connection.php:301
Stack trace:
#0 [internal function]: Illuminate\Exception\Handler->handleShutdown()
#1 {main} [] []

My questions are :

*

*How to debug the issue (find oud what is the query that blows everything up)

*Or if there's a known workaround for this, what is it ?

I already tried to DB::disableQueryLog(); within my start/artisan.php

A: Main issue is:
The PHP process is running out of memory, aka hitting the memory_limit set in your php.ini. The cause may be various, i.e infinite loops, large select statements; so to say: anything that requires PHP to store information in memory during processing.
My specific Issue & Solution:
I had this issue due to long running php processes, i.e Queue workers.
Solved it by setting up a cron job that does a php artisan queue:restart every 20 mins.

A: As the error message said, the error was about a certain database query. But I also asked how I could traceback the faulty query. I used an error tracking service called Rollbar to find out which API call died. Pretty sure it isn't the best way to figure this out but it worked...

Unite Against Child Marriage (UACM)
1 situation
3 approach
One in nine girls in developing countries are forced into marriage before the age of 15. It is estimated that in the next 10 years, approximately 14 million child marriages will occur each year in developing countries.[1] Child marriage is a reality for many girls and boys, however it disproportionally affects girls.
Child marriage is driven by social and economic factors. Marriage is often seen as a means of 'protection' for young girls. For many poor families in developing countries, child marriage is a means to escape poverty by having one less mouth to feed and provide for. But ultimately the frequency of child marriages reflects the low value of girls within society globally.
Child marriage is a violation of human rights and has serious implications on a girl's health and development. Girls under the age of fifteen are five times more likely to die during pregnancy.[2] Even when children born to adolescent mothers survive, they face an increased risk of low birth weight, under-nutrition, and developmental delays.[3] Child marriage also hinders the capacity of girls to develop emotionally and physically. They are not only denied their childhood but are often socially isolated with limited opportunities for education and employment. Girls are frequently unable to effectively negotiate safe sex leaving them vulnerable to sexual transmitted infections and HIV.
In India approximately 50% of girls are married before the age of 18. In some districts this figure rises as high as 75%. In Malawi, government statistics show that 50% of women are married by their 18th birthday, with some girls as young as 9 or 10 being forced into marriage.

continue to objectives
Overall objective
Structurally reduce the number of child marriages in the intervention areas in Malawi and India.
Improved position of girls (empowerment): young people, women and men are able to make informed decisions on SRHR-issues;
Access to formal education for girls: improved access to formal, relevant and qualitative education;
Involvement of local communities: girls and young women are able to exercise their SRHR-rights and not forced into child/early/forced marriage;
Development and application of legislation and policy against child marriage: there is a favourable policy and legal environment to prevent child marriage.
Improved access for SRHR services: improved quality and use of SRHR services by young people
continue to approach
The Unite Against Child Marriage Alliance (UACM) programme is implemented by the Dutch SRHR Alliance (Simavi, Amref, Choice, Dance4Life, Rutgers) and Edukans.
The programme uses five strategies to empower girls and fight the practice of child marriage in India and Malawi:
Empowerment of girls
Access to formal education
Involving local communities
Development and improvement of legislation and policies
Improved access to SRHR services
These strategies ensure a multi-sector approach to ending child marriage that recognises the importance of empowering girls, mobilising communities and building an enabling environment for legislative change.
Simavi's activities
Simavi's approach consists of an integrated approach to SRHR, which includes four of the five UACM alliance strategies (excluding access to formal education). Simavi uses a bottom-up approach to involve all key stakeholders and enhance the understanding, and ability of young people to exercise their SRHR related rights. FIETS principles are implemented to ensure sustainable change. Each strategy is implemented through context specific activities. These activities include (but are not limited to):
Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) and assertiveness training for girls (and boys);
Workshops and information sessions for stakeholders in the community (religious leaders, parents, teachers, health professionals and SRHR paralegals) on child marriages and the rights of girls;
Legal assistance (paralegal support) for girls, plus legal support to ensure compliance with existing legislation;
Training health workers and staff in SRHR clinics for adolescents to provide youth friendly services;
Outreach meetings in communities to raise awareness on the issues of child marriage and the importance of SRHR;
Workshops with traditional community leaders/chiefs to discuss child marriage and change local bylaws to raise the marriage age;
Create youth clubs and strengthen existing youth clubs, so that issues of child marriage can be discussed there;
Train peer educators on SRHR issues.
The UACM programme seeks to change harmful cultural practices that normalize child marriage whilst providing girls with SRH knowledge and access to the services they need to make informed health decisions. Together, these strategies will provide girls and their communities with the tools and knowledge to stop early and forced marriages and give girls a better start in life.
continue to result
The UACM programme is implemented in line with a results framework that tracks progress made against key outcome and output indicators.
Several key output indicators that Simavi tracked with its partners were:
207,531 (target: 159,211) people directly reached with education on SRHR;
191,310 (target: 150,880) people who particpated in awareness raising;
4,183 (target: 2,881) members of community group trained.
Enabling environment
56 memberships in partner countries;
77 (target: 32) representatives at advocacy meetings.

Proper care and maintenance can make all the difference and make your custom wood products last for generations. If you have any questions regarding the proper care for your wood products feel free to call us anytime, we are happy to help.
Regular care is the best policy for maintaining wood. Only use cleaning products recommended by the finish manufacturer.
Use a lightly dampened (not wet) mop and/or vacuum for regular weekly cleaning. Only use cleaning products recommended by the finish manufacturer. Never use a scrubbing or scouring pad that may damage or scratch any surface. Use only those cleaning products and pads that are recommended by the finish manufacturer.
Wipe up spills immediately with a lightly dampened cloth, then follow up with a recommended cleaning product. For stubborn stains, lightly dampen a soft cloth with a manufacturer's recommended cleaner. Apply directly to the stain and repeat as necessary.
Keeping a clean surface prevents dust and dirt from scratching and grinding into the finish over time, thus reducing refinishing often in the future. Keep all wood products away from heavy moisture.
Use felt protector pads on the feet of furniture legs to protect flooring from scratching and denting. If furniture has casters, use non-marking rubber casters instead of metal or plastic casters, which can dent.
Throw rugs and dirt-trapping mats at exterior doors will greatly reduce long-term wear on wood flooring, reducing refinishing/rebuffing and maintaining the beauty of your floor. If using a throw rug or doormat with a rubber or vinyl backing, check to make sure that it does not dull or discolor your floor over time. Some chemicals in rubber and vinyl can react with certain finishes.
An elephant has a force of 50 to 100 pounds per square inch (psi) on a floor, while a 125-pound woman in high heels has the force of 2,000 psi. That's 20 times greater than the elephant. Such force can damage any floor, not just hardwood. Exposed nailheads are especially brutal to a floor their 8,000 psi is damaging enough to pulverize hardened concrete.
- Bead up so that you can wipe it up without a trace?
Congratulations! Your floor's finish is doing its job!
- Soak into the wood after a few minutes, darkening the floor only slightly?
Don't panic, your floor's finish is only partially worn. Immediate refreshing probably isn't necessary, but keep a close eye on the floor.
- Immediately disappear into the wood leaving a dark spot?
If so your floor's finish is seriously worn and it's probably time to recoat.

Protest songs had local impact
Country Joe
When protests against the Vietnam War grew into a national moratorium in the fall of 1969, the young people of Escanaba were involved, just like virtually every other community in the country.
Opinions about the war, which had taken the lives of 39,969 American soldiers by mid-October, had been galvanized by a hotly political climate.
A few years earlier, recordings like "Ballad of the Green Berets" by Staff Sgt. Barry Sadler and "Gallant Men" by U. S. Sen. Everett Dirksen, reflected public opinion. By 1969 however, with casualties mounting, John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance," the Doors' "Unknown Soldier, "Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag (Next Stop Vietnam)" by Country Joe and the Fish and "Sky Pilot" by the Animals were increasingly being heard.
On Wednesday, Oct. 15, many of the students at Bay de Noc Community College, then located on Escanaba's south side, wore black armbands to signify their opposition to the war and pay tribute to those Americans killed in Vietnam.
The college administration was well aware of the national march on Washington that day and scheduled an informational symposium that evening possibly to channel student enthusiasm away from any spontaneous demonstrations which might embarrass local officials.
More than 200 people attended the event, held at the student center, where college president Dr. Richard Rinehart hosted discussion concerning the political and moral complexities of the war. Political science instructor Paul Opferkuch presented the historical background of U. S. involvement. Other speakers included diplomat George St. Louis, instructors Al Howard and Michael Youngs, as well as students Bob Erickson and Tim Brostrom.
The meeting lasted until 11 p. m. It's anybody's guess if the symposium changed anybody's mind about the Vietnam War.
But, after the meeting a large group of students marched down south 12th Street toward downtown singing protest songs. "All we are saying is give peace a chance," the group intoned. I don't think anyone knew more than the chorus of the anti-war anthem which had been a hit just a few months before.
As I recall, a few Country Joe fans attempted the "Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag," which included the line "And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for? Don't ask me; I don't give a damn. Next stop is Vietnam."
The biggest rally in the state took place at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor where 22,000 people gathered to hear U. S. Sen. Philip Hart, D-Michigan, speak against the war along with Tom Hayden, who founded Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) in Port Huron.
Nationally, about two million people participated in the moratorium which was conceived by a 26-year-old named Sam Brown. About 100,000 attended an anti-war speech in Boston by U. S. Sen. George McGovern.
While various moratorium events where held across the U. P., the small community of Ontonagon was quiet. Many of the county's 10,584 residents continued to support the Nixon administration's policies in Vietnam even though the area had suffered eight fatalities in southeast Asia, a higher percentage than any county in the country.
A second moratorium was held in November. At a rally in Washington, D. C., folk singer Pete Seeger led 500,000 people through a version of "Give Peace a Chance."
At this time Creedence Clearwater Revival released "Fortunate Son," a number 14 hit. With the line "And when they play hail to the chief, ooh, they point the cannon at you," the song become a favorite of war protesters and veterans alike.
A few months later, "War" by Edwin Starr was the most popular song in the country for three weeks. The track struck the national consciousness with its simple lyrics: "War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing."
One of the most enduring songs of this genre, however, may be "Eve of Destruction" by Barry McGuire. Talking about the eastern world exploding, bodies floating in the Jordan River, and the possibility of nuclear holocaust, the lyrics are as relevant today as they were in 1965.
Despite the demonstrations of 1969 and despite the protest songs, the Vietnam War didn't end for six more years.
A friend of mine sent me several articles you have written about local bands from the 60's. I have enjoyed reading "Nomads, Beat Inc. Rocked First", "Vintage U.P. Rock 45's Described", and "Local Peninsula Records Label Issued Singles".
I'm happily amazed that there is still interest in a band I started with Mike Steede in my small bedroom in Pine Ridge so many years ago. I have played in many bands since but I have never run across such a wonderful group of true friends as the guys in The Prophets.
Several years ago someone called me to tell me Dave Watchorn had been looking for me for several years. I immediately looked up his number and gave him a call. He actually had been looking for me for that long and was quite surprised to have me at the other end of the phone. We started to correspond, and he mentioned he was also looking for Jim Smith, our keyboard player. I gave him the few facts I knew about Jim but with a name as common as "Jim Smith" he had a difficult time finding him. To Dave's credit, he never gave up, and sure enough, he found Jim living in Arizona.
For the last 2 years, the Prophets have had a reunion of sorts. Mike Steede, Dave Watchorn, Calvin Rose (our very first bass player and singer), and myself have met at Mike's house and swapped stories and jammed for several magical hours. That first reunion was completely indescribable. To be playing drums with most of the original Prophets after so many years was like a dream come true....and the emotion in the room was like we had never left. Maybe someday we will be fortunate enough to have Larry Olivaries and Jim Smith join the fun.
As you can imagine, the stories were flying! One of my favorites was the very snowy and slippery day we were driving to a catholic school youth club dance in Marquette. As we entered the city, we slid right through a snowy intersection cutting off a car coming from the other side. The car followed us all the way to the Catholic church complex. We were sure the driver was ready to read us the riot act (did I say Riot Act!) and probably beat us up! As we pulled up to the church complex he drove up next to us and rolled down his window ready to read us off. He glanced into the car and saw 5 young men all dressed in black...he blinked a few times, said "I'm sorry, fathers" and sped away! We said a little prayer of thanks, had a good laugh, set up our equipment and played our hearts out for the next 3 hours.
Keep the great memories coming!

We are putting the next release of Pointwise through our maintenance release quality assurance process so it should be available soon. In Version 17.2 R2 you will get twice the performance out of T-Rex's (anisotropic tetrahedral extrusion) new hexahedral layer capability. And even though V17.2 R2 is not even out the door, the overset grid assembly features for V17.3 are finally settled and ready for pre-release testing.
Looking further ahead along our roadmap, we have already begun laying the groundwork for the broadest expansion of Pointwise's meshing capabilities in the history of the company. Building on the new software architecture designed into the Pointwise product, you will soon be able to create the type of meshes in Version 18 that you never could before.
In this second revision of V17.2, you will find a major update to T-Rex's hex layer capabilities first introduced in V17.2 R1. Recall that T-Rex works by extruding layers of anisotropic tetahedra and then agglomerating stacks of tetrahedra into prisms or hexes. Several benefits were achieved by changing how the agglomeration algorithm handles the first layer of hexahedra coming off a quad surface.
The change reduced the number of mesh cells on the extrusion front with a corresponding reduction in run time for hex layer extrusion. For our test suite as a whole, the reduction in run time was 33 percent.
The change introduced a simpler, less dense mesh topology on the extrusion front which in turn makes the extrusion more robust. This manifests itself as an increase in the number of hex and prism cells created in the near-wall layers. This increase was in the range 7-17 percent for our test suite.
Third, the simpler mesh topology and increased cells in the near-wall layers resulted in a 29 percent drop in the number of isotropic tetrahedra in the farfield region for our test suite.
Figure 1 shows cuts through a hybrid mesh generated by the updated T-Rex for the NASA CRM For this particular mesh the time required to generate the anisotropic cells was reduced by 46 percent, the number of agglomerated cells increased 15 percent, and the total number of cells for the overall mesh was reduced by 20 percent relative to the previous version of T-Rex.
Figure 1: These cuts through a T-Rex hybrid mesh for NASA's CRM show the quad surface mesh (pink), hex layers (green), the transition to isotropic tets (cyan) and the symmetry plane (gray).
Align View to Surface: The orientation of view in the Display window can be aligned with the normal vector of any selected surface. Also, view transitions to saved orientations can now be animated.
Figure 2: By selecting a surface point or entering numeric values, you can align the view so that you're looking down that normal vector.
Updated CAD File Readers: In addition to implementing the latest libraries from CT Core Technologies, our CAD interoperability partner, the reader has been implemented as a separate process for improved robustness.
Drawing Guide: A drawing guide consisting of an array of vertical and horizontal lines can be overlayed on the Display window as a visual aid for aligning points on the screen for various operations. Also, the option to disable snapping to a selected point (previously available only in the Tweak command) has been added to all other commands that use the 3D point placement tools.
Figure 3: The user-customizable Drawing Guide is a handy reference for aligning points when drawing in 3D.
Project Distribution: You now have the option of projecting only a connector's shape while retaining its distribution attributes.
Figure 4: Avoid connectors with "general" point distributions by projecting only the shape and preserving the distribution function and spacing constraints.
Save Selection: Using the Save Selection As command, selected entities (and all other entities on which they depend) can be written to a new PW project file. With the Save Environment As command, all your settings – defaults, layers, properties, views, saved examine cuts, etc. but no entities – can be written to a PW file for loading at the beginning of a new project.
Scripted Entity Selection: Two new Glyph commands give you more control over entity selection. One command returns a list of the currently selected entities. The other lets you specify which entities are selected upon script termination.
As you are probably aware, in 2013 we completed work on a two-year Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract (U.S. Air Force, Arnold Engineering Development Complex, Air Force Materiel Command), during which we added to Pointwise the ability to set up, execute, and visualize overset grid assembly. This work was an extension of a previous six-month contract that resulted in a similar, but smaller, feature set in Gridgen.
This research code has now been fully integrated into the production version of Pointwise and is on target for release in V17.3. Those of you who are using or would like to use overset grids will find that the overset grid assembly (OGA) process is now much more streamlined.
Figure 5: Visualizing how grids overlap provides a guide for remeshing.
We do not yet have a release date for Version 17.3.
Figure 6: In this example of overlap remediation by adaption, the background Cartesian grid has been adapted into the gap between the pylon and store.
T-Rex hybrid meshes with the near-wall prism or hex layers are created as a post-processing step from the original, extruded, anisotropic tetrahedra. In other words, Pointwise stores T-Rex meshes in their original, all-tet form.
Imagine if the code was accommodating of more mesh types.
The years of work that went in to the development of the Pointwise product – Version 16 in 2007 and Version 17 in 2012 – were focused on improving user experience while keeping the meshing capabilities more or less intact. However, behind the scenes we built a new core infrastructure that gives us much more flexibility to broaden our mesh support. With Version 18, you will see the payoffs of that new architecture through an expanded menu of supported mesh types.
Generate an unstructured quad or quad dominant surface mesh and grow hex layers off of it using T-Rex.
Save your hybrid mesh with the full mix of cell types so that you can verify the mesh quality prior to exporting it for your flow solver.
Imagine what other capabilities this new flexibility will offer.
If you want to hear – and more importantly, see – the details of these new developments, please join us at the Pointwise User Group Meeting 2014 coming up on 29-30 October in Anaheim, California. You'll see our imagination at work.


LITTLE ROCK – The head of Arkansas' Department of Human Services on Tuesday said he doesn't have a backup budget if lawmakers block funding for the state's "private option," despite growing signs that the compromise Medicaid expansion plan is at risk when the Legislature convenes next month.
A Democratic lawmaker questioned the odds of the private option continuing after an opponent of it won a state Senate seat in a special election last week and a key supporter announced she no longer backed the plan. Lawmakers approved the private option last year as an alternative to expanding Medicaid's enrollment under the federal health care law.
"Since funding for the fiscal session is at best on life support, does your budget include the possibility of losing the (private option) during the fiscal session?" Sen. Linda Chesterfield, D-Little Rock, asked as DHS officials appeared before the Joint Budget Committee.
DHS Director John Selig said his department's budget is based on the notion that lawmakers will continue the private option when they convene Feb. 10 for a session focused primarily on the state's budget. Under the private option, Arkansas is using federal Medicaid money to purchase private insurance for thousands of low-income workers.
"We do not have a contingency budget," Selig said.
Prospects for renewing the private option — which will require 27 votes in the 35-member Senate and 75 votes in the 100-member House — have dimmed over the past week. Republican John Cooper won a northeast Arkansas Senate seat in a special election after vowing to block the expansion's funding. Republican Sen. Missy Irvin, who had been a key deciding vote for the private option, told conservative activists over the weekend that she no longer supported it.
Irvin did not immediately return a call Tuesday.
The Senate approved the private option last year with 28 votes — just one more than was needed for its passage.
The private option sharply divided Republicans, who control both chambers of the Legislature. Backers of the private option said it gave the state a chance to overhaul its Medicaid program, while opponents said it was no different from the expansion envisioned under the federal health law.
Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe's administration has said $89 million of his proposed budget for the coming year is based on savings the state expects from the private option reducing hospitals' uncompensated care costs. Beebe has warned lawmakers cuts would need to be made if the program isn't continued. Selig noted that the administration as a whole doesn't have a backup budget, and said he remained hopeful lawmakers would support the program.

Shorgul is an Indian political drama film directed by Jitentra Tiwari Produced and distributed under the banner of 24 FPS film Pvt Ltd., Shorgul stars Jimmy Shergill, Ashutosh Rana, Hiten Tejwani, Suha Gezen, Narendra Jha, Anirudh Dave and Sanjay Suri in the major roles. The film is loosely based on the infamous 2013 Hindu-Muslim Muzaffarnagar riots. Owing to its controversial subject, the makers faced strong opposition from both Hindu and Muslim leaders with multiple PILs being filed and a fatwa issued.
Shorgul is a potent political thriller that's highly relevant to the times we live in. Set in the city of Malihabad (instead of Muzaffarnagar), Shorgul depicts the dark side of communal politics practiced in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. The movie doesn't back down from taking swipes at the unscrupulous religious leaders who use religion as a mere tool to realize their evil designs. Shorgul underscores the importance of unity and peaceful coexistence in a democratic setup. It reminds us that there is good and bad on both the sides.
The movie features memorable performances from Ashutosh Rana and Jimmy Shergill. While Shergill is at great ease playing a politician who thrives on the politics of divide and role, Rana reminds us of his remarkable range as an actor. His screen presence is still as commanding (and his gaze as piercing) as it used to be when he did films like Dushman and Sangharsh -- easily the best works of Rana's chequered career. They are well backed by the rest of the cast with Eijaz Khan, Hiten Tejwani and Narendra Jha leading from the front. Suha Gezen, the pretty actress who plays the central character Zainab, reminds one of a young Tisca Chopra. Shorgul's screenplay is quite predictable and suffers from pacing issues. It seems to have drawn heavily from the recent riots in certain parts of UP. Even the names of some of the pivotal characters are directly based on famous politicians hailing from Uttar Pradesh. Alas, it reflects lack of thought and laziness on the part of screenwriters.
Overall, Shorgul makes for a decent watch. It scores heavily on the acting front and performances alone make it watchable. Kudos to the movie's ensemble cast! Lalit Pandit's music adds soul to the film. Shorgul's strong socio-political commentary succeeds in depicting the dirty side of vote bank politics and in raising pertinent questions about the lack of tolerance that engenders communal hatred. More importantly, it tries to teach us the true meaning of humanity.

REVIEW Lindsey Buckingham is an upbeat, frequently delightful album 8/10
Lindsey Buckingham tips his hat to '60s pop on solo album
By Sam Richards
RIFF Magazine
After what nearly amounted to a Fleetwood Mac reunion album with 2017's Lindsey Buckingham/Christine McVie, the first solo album from Lindsey Buckingham in a decade sounds as if it could have been the second disc of the fine 2011 solo release Seeds We Sow.
That isn't a bad thing at all; far from it. The new self-titled album is full of songs that meld pop hooks ranging from pleasant to glorious with instrumentation—layers of acoustic guitars, in particular—that give the songs a subtle edge while maintaining, even magnifying, their sweetness.
Where Lindsey Buckingham/Christine McVie seemed to be striving for the sound of the late 1970s and mid-1980s glory years of Fleetwood Mac, the new solo album turns back inward. Lindsey Buckingham, like most of Seeds We Sow, is a true solo effort, with the guitarist playing all the instruments and doing all the singing. And if there's a lack of the immediacy of his classics like "Go Your Own Way," "Monday Morning" or "Big Love," there's a depth of musicality that hits just as fast, if not quite as hard.
Buckingham was always the Mac member most likely to tip his cap to classic pop radio. For example, "I Don't Mind," with its cheery vocal choruses and sprightly layered guitars, sounds somewhat at odds with his breathy, mysterious singing. But the overall effect is mesmerizing, especially if you're a fan of '60s-style radio-ready pop. It's like that, but with a comforting bed of acoustic guitars. It's the kind of music that he makes best.
Similarly, "On the Wrong Side" is like a Mac song Lindsey Buckingham would have written, only shorn of the influences of other band members. While your mileage may vary, this listener sees that as an advantage. The song is about the ups and downs of being on the road with Fleetwood Mac: "I'm out of pity, out of time/ Another city, another crime," he sings, getting philosophical. "We were young, now we're old/ Who can tell me which is worse?" This song also includes the only extended electric guitar solo on the album, and it's fantastic.
"Blind Love" is perhaps the most blatantly pop song here, about never stopping the search for the perfect partner. It is as if Buckingham took a classic early '60s song (think Ricky Nelson's "Dream Lover" and its ilk), and modernized the sound in a tastefully acoustic way.
There are modern touches scattered here and there. Both "Swan Song" and "Power Down" are driven by jittery drum loops; appropriate especially on the latter, where "powering down" could mean either turning off your laptop or disengaging from a relationship. "Swan Song" is an outlier on this album; unsettled and nervous, even if a tasteful acoustic guitar floats in and out.
The other outlier is "Dancing," the album closer. It's slow and ethereal, with Buckingham's breathy vocals playing against both a strumming guitar that sounds like a harpsichord and moments of silence. The song isn't about dancing, per se, but rather the holding pattern of life between happenings dreary or worse: "Emptiness goes where supply meets demand/ Business and murder, they go hand in hand."
Also here is a reverent cover of "Time," as performed in the mid-'60s by the Pozo-Seco Singers, a folk trio in which Hall of Fame country singer Don Williams first gained fame. In a sense, this song is a left turn on an album populated with left turns, its unadorned simplicity in contrast to the textured songcraft of most of the rest of the material.
"Dancing" and "Time" aside, Lindsey Buckingham is an upbeat, frequently delightful album that, on the surface, may seem a bit quaint. But these songs are more complicated, musically and lyrically, than might be apparent on first listen. And with most of these songs, that first listen will suck you in, anyway.

Get Tusked: The Inside Story of Fleetwood Mac's Most Anticipated Album
by Ken Caillat and Hernan Rojas
In this behind-the-scenes look at the making of Fleetwood Mac's epic, platinum-selling double album, Tusk, producers and engineers Ken Caillat and Hernan Rojas tell their stories of spending a year with the band in their new million-dollar studio trying to follow up Rumours, the biggest rock album of the time.
Following their massive success, the band continued its infamous soap opera when its musical leader and guitarist, Lindsey Buckingham, threatened to quit if he didn't get things his way, resulting in clashes not only with his band but especially Caillat, who had been essential to the band's Grammy-winning sound.
Hernan Rojas's story recounts a young man who leaves Chile after General Pinochet's coup to seek his future in the music industry of Los Angeles, where he finds success at one of the hottest studios in town. When Fleetwood Mac arrives, Rojas falls in love with its star singer, Stevie Nicks, and the two of them become romantically involved.
Throughout the book, both Caillat and Rojas detail not only the trials and sacrifices they made to finish the album, but also triumphs of musical inspiration and technical innovation that have made Tusk the darling of music critics and indie rockers today.

Concept: North Pacific Gyre
Evidence that the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is rapidly accumulating plastic
Published almost 2 years ago
Ocean plastic can persist in sea surface waters, eventually accumulating in remote areas of the world's oceans. Here we characterise and quantify a major ocean plastic accumulation zone formed in subtropical waters between California and Hawaii: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP). Our model, calibrated with data from multi-vessel and aircraft surveys, predicted at least 79 (45-129) thousand tonnes of ocean plastic are floating inside an area of 1.6 million km2; a figure four to sixteen times higher than previously reported. We explain this difference through the use of more robust methods to quantify larger debris. Over three-quarters of the GPGP mass was carried by debris larger than 5 cm and at least 46% was comprised of fishing nets. Microplastics accounted for 8% of the total mass but 94% of the estimated 1.8 (1.1-3.6) trillion pieces floating in the area. Plastic collected during our study has specific characteristics such as small surface-to-volume ratio, indicating that only certain types of debris have the capacity to persist and accumulate at the surface of the GPGP. Finally, our results suggest that ocean plastic pollution within the GPGP is increasing exponentially and at a faster rate than in surrounding waters.

Scales of spatial heterogeneity of plastic marine debris in the northeast pacific ocean
Published about 6 years ago
Plastic debris has been documented in many marine ecosystems, including remote coastlines, the water column, the deep sea, and subtropical gyres. The North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG), colloquially called the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch," has been an area of particular scientific and public concern. However, quantitative assessments of the extent and variability of plastic in the NPSG have been limited. Here, we quantify the distribution, abundance, and size of plastic in a subset of the eastern Pacific (approximately 20-40°N, 120-155°W) over multiple spatial scales. Samples were collected in Summer 2009 using surface and subsurface plankton net tows and quantitative visual observations, and Fall 2010 using surface net tows only. We documented widespread, though spatially variable, plastic pollution in this portion of the NPSG and adjacent waters. The overall median microplastic numerical concentration in Summer 2009 was 0.448 particles m(-2) and in Fall 2010 was 0.021 particles m(-2), but plastic concentrations were highly variable over the submesoscale (10 s of km). Size-frequency spectra were skewed towards small particles, with the most abundant particles having a cross-sectional area of approximately 0.01 cm(2). Most microplastic was found on the sea surface, with the highest densities detected in low-wind conditions. The numerical majority of objects were small particles collected with nets, but the majority of debris surface area was found in large objects assessed visually. Our ability to detect high-plastic areas varied with methodology, as stations with substantial microplastic did not necessarily also contain large visually observable objects. A power analysis of our data suggests that high variability of surface microplastic will make future changes in abundance difficult to detect without substantial sampling effort. Our findings suggest that assessment and monitoring of oceanic plastic debris must account for high spatial variability, particularly in regards to the evaluation of initiatives designed to reduce marine debris.

How Dishonesty Drains You
Have you ever told a friend a made-up story to entertain that person or spare his or her feelings? Do you know anyone who confessed to you he or she overreported the number of hours worked to pad a paycheck? Some may think of these "white lies," or small instances of dishonest behavior, as relatively harmless, a slight ethical lapse, when compared with full-scale corporate fraud. We may consider a white lie to be especially harmless if it is in service of protecting an important relationship. Researchers have studied the potential financial and legal consequences of such small instances of dishonesty as padding expense reports and pilfering pens. But are these consequences all that we should be concerned about? We examined the possibility that small instances of dishonest behavior have unintended consequences for our emotional intelligence—it seeps into our ability to read others' emotions. Our research indicates the harm is real—and lasting.
In a series of studies, we concluded that an act of deceit can undermine a person's ability to interact with peers, even those removed from the original lie. Specifically, we found that when people engage in dishonest behavior, they are less likely to see themselves as relational (for example, as a sister, friend, colleague or father) and are subsequently less accurate in judging the emotions of others. This investigation is a critical step in understanding the underlying interpersonal dynamics in organizations, specifically, because work relationships can be generative—a source of enrichment and vitality—or corrosive—a source of pain and dysfunction. The ability to accurately read and respond to others' emotional states enables supportive, prosocial and compassionate behaviors, so it is particularly important for building strong networks in professional settings. Because of an increase in relational distance and a decrease in empathetic accuracy, those who are dishonest at work may experience a vicious cycle of mutual misunderstandings and missed opportunities for building supporting relationships, which could be detrimental for individuals, as well as for the organizations in which they work.
We began to explore these dynamics in a study of 250 pairs of individuals, comprised of a participant in an experimental condition—asked to lie or tell the truth—and a partner, with each tasked to assess the emotions of the other. We found that subjects who lied, as compared with the truth-tellers, were less accurate in judging the emotions of their partner. Those in the dishonest group were not instructed to tell large lies; instead, they were to make up a story about looking for a job—something that would amuse others or make them feel better about their own experiences with recruiting. The other half of the experimental participants were asked to tell a story based on their real experiences as job seekers.
After sharing these stories, all of those individuals listened to their partner tell a real story and then rated the emotions they felt. After sharing stories with each other, participants and partners reported their own emotions, as well as the emotions they sensed their counterpart was feeling. We used the reported emotions to calculate an accuracy score for a participant's view of his or her partner's emotions (the difference between the partner's reported emotions and the participant's report of that partner's emotions). We found that subjects who were asked to be dishonest were significantly worse at accurately detecting the emotional state of their partner than those who told a true story. Surprisingly, these small, malice-free moments of dishonesty significantly clouded an individual's ability to read emotions in subsequent interactions.
In conjunction with this investigation, we ran four additional experimental studies with two conditions: In one, we created specific circumstances where participants would be tempted to cheat. And on the other, we removed any possibility of cheating. All subjects took part in a die-throwing game that allowed them to earn a bonus, based on the number rolled: the higher the number, the more money earned. While all participants were asked to choose if their bonus would be based on the top or bottom side of each die before rolling it, only those in the honest group did so at that time. Those in the dishonest group recorded their selection after the roll, which allowed them to change it to the side corresponding to the maximum amount of money they could earn. They reported earning significantly more over the course of the game, suggesting they did indeed inflate their bonus payments dishonestly. After the die-rolling activity, the subjects watched 42 short video clips to assess their ability to read the emotions of others. In these clips, actors expressed a wide range of emotions in their face, voice and body language, and participants were asked to identify the affective state of the actors.
Across these four experimental studies, with 1,879 participants, we consistently found that those who were tempted and likely lied ended up performing worse on the empathetic accuracy-test than those who did not have an opportunity to be dishonest. We also found that the effect was driven by a reduction in how relational dishonest participants considered themselves. People that engaged in dishonesty were less likely to describe themselves in terms of their relationships than those in the honest group. By being dishonest, subjects distanced themselves from others, which led to a reduced ability to read others' emotions.
We ran an additional study to examine if the relationship between dishonesty and impaired empathetic accuracy can be seen outside the lab. In it, 250 full-time employees reported how frequently they engaged in dishonest behavior (for example, "There are times when I violate contract terms with customers"). These participants then engaged in a common test of empathetic accuracy, the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test, which was developed by Simon Baron-Cohen of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues. In this experiment, across 36 trials, participants viewed the eyes of an actor and were asked which emotion best described his or her mental state. We found that the more frequently employees committed dishonest behavior at work, the lower they scored in empathetic accuracy, suggesting the two are negatively related.
There was one feature that inoculated individuals from this negative effect of dishonesty: In a lab study of 100 adults, we found that those who had a naturally high level of social sensitivity—attunement to subtle social-emotional cues in the environment—did not show significant reductions in their empathetic abilities following moments of dishonesty. But for the average participant across our studies, the negative effect was detected.
Importantly, we found that a reduction in empathetic accuracy as a result of dishonesty can have downstream consequences: specifically, participants who cheated for a financial gain were more likely to blatantly dehumanize the actors who appeared in these videos (that is, they rated the actors as less human) than those who did not have the opportunity to cheat. Moreover, cheaters were also more likely to engage in repeated unethical behavior. This result suggests that once we engage in dishonest behavior, we may also distance ourselves from other people by regarding them as less human, which allows us to continue down a path of subsequent, repeated unethical behavior. Our research implies that even small acts of dishonesty can go a long way, leaving ripple effects that may undermine a fundamental building block of our humanity: a social connection.

The Vietnamese National Assembly approved the CPTPP on November 12, making Vietnam the 7th country to endorse the pact. Nguyen Van Nam, President of the Institute for Brand and Competitiveness Strategy, a co-organizer of the conference, said "Foreign analysts have indicated that Vietnam will benefit most from the pact relative to the 11 member countries. However, there are challenges which accompany these opportunities. Challenges relate to matters of constitution, policy, and developmental structure. The government and businesses need to advance together. Businesses play an important role in economic integration and development. They must identify opportunities and challenges, maintain a flexible mindset, and act with intent to win." Professor Dinh Ngoc Thinh, a lecturer of the Academy of Finance, said Vietnamese businesses should enhance technological applications to raise productivity and overcome competitive obstacles. He added "CPTPP will bring us many opportunities from countries with zero percent tax and those with less tax barriers. It will be easier for businesses to seek new material supplies and advanced equipment to improve their production." Delegates said the CPTPP will generate momentum for Vietnam to expand investment and trade ties with other countries.

If you see a Democrat official at a county courthouse, quickly grab your phone and take a photo. Like glaciers and American-made sedans, they are disappearing relics.
Indiana has become, from a functional standpoint, a one-party state. The most conspicuous stats with U.S. Sen. Joe Donnelly's defeat is Republicans control 9 of 11 congressional seats, have super majorities in the General Assembly and all of the Statehouse constitutional offices.
But to mine down further is to discover how abjectly out of power Democrats are beyond the big cities of Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, South Bend, Gary, Hammond, Kokomo, Bloomington and Lafayette. On the city front, Democrats control 54 out of 117 city halls.
At the county level, the impotence is striking. Of 1,399 county posts (these are prior to the Nov. 6 election) - assessor, auditor, clerk, commissioners, councilmembers, recorder, and treasurer - Democrats control just 268 offices, or an anemic 20 percent. Republicans control 1,130. Out of 242 commissioner seats, Democrats have a mere 34. Of 523 council seats Democrats control just 139. They hold just 22 assessor seats, 18 auditors, 20 clerks, 18 recorders and 17 treasurers. The list doesn't include sheriffs, prosecutors and coroners, but my bet is those offices would present a similar trend.
I don't have access to where these statistics stood a decade ago. But we do know that when U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh abruptly quit a reelection bid just before filing deadline in February 2010, there were a number of river counties across southern and western Indiana which would vote Republican for president and governor, but would also send Democrats like Lee Hamilton and Baron Hill to Congress, while county courthouses proved to be enduring Democrat power warrens.
Bayh's decision to bolt the Senate race commenced a chain reaction that has routed the Democrats out of the two southern Indiana congressional seats it was once competitive (the former Bloody 8th and the 9th, which Reps. Larry Buchson and Trey Hollingworth won in landslide fashion on Nov. 6), all but three Indiana House seats south of U.S. 50, while the party has no state Senate seats south of Bloomington. Beyond former House Minority Leader Terry Goodin, Democrats don't represent any truly rural districts.
So we have entered a new era of governance that is relying on one party to function and craft policy from the Statehouse to the counties. At this point, Democrats don't even have active candidates for governor in 2020. Sen. Donnelly would be, perhaps, the strongest potential contender, though there is talk about a third run by John Gregg, or potential bids by former lieutenant governor nominee Christina Hale or Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott Jr. Their cards remain close to vest at this writing.
If there's a historic parallel, it might be in the latter stages of the Great Depression. President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal was a juggernaut, and Democratic Gov. Paul McNutt reorganized the Statehouse. Democrats would win four out of five gubernatorial elections after the GOP had won five straight following World War I.
It took a future senator, Homer Capehart, to organize what became known as the "Cornfield Conference" on his Daviess County farm in the summer of 1938. Some 20,000 Hoosier Republicans showed up for barbecue and lemonade, and they forged a plan to reassert themselves, with Gov. Ralph Gates election in 1944 leading the GOP to winning the office three out of the next four cycles.
Any party pro will tell you that the party which controls the governor's office can project down ballot, as the chief executive can develop and employ talent and spread goodies. Or as former Republican chairman Rex Early would put it, the difference between a party with a governor and one without is essentially the difference between ice cream and what Fido leaves in the backyard.
Winston said the party needs to be "honest with one another. It's not just goals, but what the resources behind those goals will be." We are just weeks away from year end finance reports, but the bet here as that Gov. Eric Holcomb, Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and the GOP will have a mammoth financial edge over Democrats. And as Winston puts it, every day a gubernatorial candidate isn't raising money is a day lost into the ether.
Winston related his effort in the ramp-up to Gov. Frank O'Bannon's reelection in 2000 to build resources in every county. "What we were trying to do in 1999 was to have at least one elected official in every county," Winston said. "It didn't have to be a commissioner. It could be a mayor, so when Frank O'Bannon came to Elkhart, Mayor Jim Perron was there to shake his hand." Winston said that there "has to be someone on the ground to project the party" in every county.
So Hoosier Democrats face their toughest rebuild in, perhaps, a century, or maybe ever. With new congressional and legislative maps just a little over two years away, they face an unprecedented challenge.

I searched all similar problems but all of them are using google extension. But I don't use any extension on my project.
After I caught this exception on my project, opened another project on google chrome I seem similar exception. Maybe problem why reason is google chrome.
Error: extensions::webstore:34 Uncaught Chrome Web Store installations can only be started by the top frame.

A: It's caused by some embedded iframe calling chrome.webstore API that handles inline installs.
The error basically says "you can't use inline installs from iframes".
Check all embedded frames.
It's also possible that your Chrome has some fishy extension installed that tried to inject frames into your pages. Check if the error reproduces in Incognito.

Joan Pellegrin Joins CIPUSA Board of Directors
In 1961, first grader Joan, her five older brothers and sisters, and her parents piled into the family station wagon and headed to Hiram House Camp. Gathered at the camp was Cleveland International Program's newest group of social workers from all over the world. After a month of orientation at Hiram House Camp they were ready to go "home". Home, in this case, was that of Joan's and many other local host families' who opened their doors to welcome these new sons and daughters, sisters and brothers for four, six, or twelve months as they explored the field of social work in Cleveland and other cities with affiliate programs. Joan recalls, "After a while we were on our way home with one more person in the station wagon. It was very exciting." Little did Joan know that this would be the first of fifteen international guests she would host as a child growing up. "We'd giggle about their different habits…we had a gentleman from India once who was a lot of fun, and at night he'd take the phone book upstairs with him. We finally asked…he said he liked to see the names. A few years later we had another gentleman from India…he did the same thing. We were incredulous!"
This formative experience had a lasting impact on Joan. Taking a break from hosting to attend college, law school, and begin her legal career, Joan soon found her way back. "My husband, Joe, always liked my stories about all the international guests my family had over the years, and almost 20 years ago we decided to jump into the Program." Joan ran a law practice alongside husband Cleveland Municipal Judge Joe Zone from 1981 until 2000 before beginning her career as a Magistrate with the Domestic Relations Division Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas. During this time, the couple also managed to find time to host international guests at home. "A little searching led me to CIP and our first guest was Niels, a kid from the Netherlands just out of college. He was here on some sort of work program and he was with us for quite awhile…a few months. We grew to love him and he is still a huge part of our lives. He's been here to visit a few times, and we have visited him and his family (our Dutch grandchildren are 5 and 3) a number of times. We Skype weekly with him too." Joan and Joe have hosted 10 international guests together since hosting Niels.
Joan retired as Magistrate in February of this year and looks forward to hosting more guests alongside her new position on CIPUSA's board of directors. President & CEO Lisa Purdy is equally as pleased to welcome her aboard. "Joan seemed a natural fit for our board after so many years of personal dedication to our mission of bridging cultures and opening our hearts and minds to the world. We were delighted when she agreed to join us not only as a board member, but as the head of the Host Family Committee to help inspire others to welcome new friends from all over as she has so selflessly done over her lifetime." Janis Faehnrich, Board Chair agrees: "The tremendous role our host families play in the success of our programs cannot be overstated. Without them, the crucial homestay component that allows us to truly immerse our delegates and guests in daily American life would not be possible. Joan has shown that you can be a busy professional and still experience the unique joy that only cross cultural homestay hosting can bring. We have been so lucky to have Joan as a host for so many years, and now to have her as an advocate and representative of our program as a member of our board of directors is a meaningful step forward for the organization."
While the COVID-19 pandemic has lead to the cancellation of the rest of the year's in-person group exchanges and host families will not be called upon to host in the near future, Joan still has her mind on the mission ahead. "I am anxious to recruit. These types of experiences should be had by everyone, especially children. The world looks much different when you know people from all over it, and the exposure is invaluable."
Melissa Zwick says:
Congratulations, Joan! We are so happy to have you aboard!


If so; why? Not being sarcastic, I'd just like to know. Is it curiousity, out of adoration for one of the candidates. Surely there are people who collect Obama memorablia (Obamabilia?) out there, even if that means maybe having to buy this. If not for the simmering racism, I probably would have bought that for my dog, since she loves socks. She's a white dog, so I guess that would have just been all kinds of bad symbolism.
I'm sort of interested in these comics, snarky snark snarking aside. The only comic I own in this vein is that Pope John Paul thing Steven Grant wrote for (with?) Marvel in the '80s. I've never even read the thing, I just liked the novelty of it. I probably ought to actually dig it out of the comic box some day and check it out. Are these things that people are interested in reading? As an undecided voter, I should probably read both. I mean, it's got to be sort of socially acceptable at this point to base my vote on a comic book now, right? Or is that only if it was produced as a GN and became a big movie? I AM SO CONFUSED!
And really, when you start sampling Dan Coyle, it's time to head out.
