Creating a Safe and Inclusive Community By Preventing Bullying
September 18, 2017, 5:30-7:15 p.m., Hershey Story Museum
Presenter: Erica Weiler-Timmins, Director of Psychological Services at Milton Hershey School
"It is important to establish a culture of inclusion and respect for individual differences"
The first in a series of Hershey All Things Diversity Sessions was presented by Erica Weiler-Timmins, Ph.D., ABPP, Director of Psychological Services and Training at Milton Hershey School on Monday, September 18, at the Hershey Story Museum.
Bullying and inclusiveness cannot coexist. Bullying is unacceptable in an inclusive environment and a community is not inclusive when bullying is permitted to take place. Everyone must do their part to prevent and stop bullying to achieve a safe and inclusive community. Dr. Weiler-Timmins discussed the prevalence of observed or perceived unwanted aggressive behavior in schools in the United States. "One in five U.S. students will be bullied in school with a higher percentage occurring in middle school. Bullying occurs across all ages, socioeconomic classes, races, and cultures", said Weiler-Timmins. Read More
Navigating the Generations: Creating an Inclusive Community for All Ages
November 20, 2017, 5:30-7:15 p.m., Hershey Story Museum
Presenter: Lynette Chappell-Williams, Chief Diversity Officer and Associate Dean for Diversity and Inclusion at Penn State Health and Penn State College of Medicine
The U.S. now has six living generations, and each has its own attributes, based on their collective experiences. Recognizing the needs and interests of each age group helps our community develop strategies to create a more inclusive environment for all, regardless of age. "This is the first time in history that there is four generations in the workplace," said Chappell-Williams. She provided the breakdown of the generations living in Hershey and pointed out that 37.7% of the Hershey population is under the age of 30. She presented the characteristics of each of the age groups represented. Read More
Creating an Inclusive Environment for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Members
January 15, 2018, 5:30-7:15 p.m., Hershey Story Museum
Presenter: Joan Rater, producer
There's no doubt that Joan Rater is a creative and talented writer as evidenced from the ratings for Grey's Anatomy, a television drama that she co-wrote for 10 seasons. Her witty personality, craftiness with words, and love for her child, created a tale for Joan to share on LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) acceptance.
Joan was the presenter at the Hershey All Things Diversity Session held at the Hershey Story Museum on January 15, 2018. Her presentation titled Honoring the Inherent Dignity of a Human Person: A Mother's Story, began with Joan describing a distraught phone call to her friend after learning through a loving email from her daughter Maggie, that she was questioning her gender identity. Joan said that she was scared and thoughts ran through her mind. "What will her life be like, what about surgery, will it still be the same person I know?" Read More
Understanding Religious Differences to Create a More Respectful and Inclusive Community
March 19, 2018, 5:30 – 7:15 p.m., Hershey Story Museum
Presenter: Dr. Jeffery Long, Professor of Religion and Asian Studies, Elizabethtown College
Know Thy Neighbor: Cultivating a Community of Respect
Differences can divide a community without a willingness to understand, accept, and welcome one another.
Dr. Jeffery Long, Professor of Religion and Asian Studies at Elizabethtown College was the presenter at the March Hershey All Things Diversity session held at the Hershey Story. Dr. Long encourages us to "know thy neighbor."
He explains that intolerance is a form of violence. "Differences are not a reason to treat others badly." He quoted Thomas Jefferson and emphasizes that someone believing differently from one's self does not hurt anything. "Why do we care if others believe differently," he asked. Read More
Opening the Dialogue: Sharing Perspectives of Diverse Populations
May 21, 2018, 5:30-7:15 p.m., Hershey Story Museum
Hershey All Things Diversity Event Shares Perspective of Citizens from Diverse Backgrounds
The final Hershey All Things Diversity series for this season featured the personal experiences of people who live and work in Derry Township and come from a variety of diverse backgrounds.
The panel shared their personal experiences related to homosexuality, racism, and immigration to the United States. Derry Township Supervisor Susan Cort served as moderator for the discussion held at The Hershey Story Museum on May 21, 2018.
The members of the panel openly discussed events in their lives when they felt they were treated badly because of their race, nationality, and sexual orientation, and when they received care and support from champions in their lives.
This panel discussion will provide an opportunity for Hershey community members, of different backgrounds, to share their experiences living or working in Hershey and what we can do, as a community, to be more inclusive than we already are.

Automatic for the Masses: The Death of the Author and the Birth of Socialist Realism
PETRE M. PETROV
https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.3138/j.ctt13x1qph
Automatic for the Masses
InAutomatic for the Masses, Petre M. Petrov offers a novel, theoretically informed account of the transition from modernism to Socialist Realism, tracing their connections through Modernist notions of agency and authorship.
Subjects: Language & Literature, History, Sociology
(pp. [i]-[vi])
(pp. [vii]-2)
This book is an attempt to write the doctrine of Stalinist socialist realism into a story of modernism and modernity. The provisional title of that story is "The Death of the Author" – provisional, because it merely focuses under a single theme several different yet closely linked questions. That title will become dispensable once the issues to which it alludes and which supply all its substance are properly grasped. In placing socialist realism within the framework of modernism, nothing can be further from my intentions than to accuse the latter of being an incipiently totalitarian enterprise. A meaningful relationship between...
Chapter 1 The Imperative of Form
In the writings of those who have come to be known as the Russian Formalists,¹ "form" is the conceptual space in which the death of the author occurs, even if it is not announced in quite so dramatic a fashion. It has traditionally been argued that in their pursuit of "scientific" objectivity, the Formalists sought to eliminate the subjective factor both from the history of aesthetic phenomena and from the analysis of specific texts – that they arrived at something like "system" by taking language as their model and jettisoning the stuff of genetic explanation, intellectual speculation, psychological conjecture, and...
Chapter 2 The Imperative of Content
It is bound to seem a scandal of sorts that in my approach to the culture of socialist realism the first step should be Russian Formalism – a movement that was to be forcefully extinguished at the end of the 1920s, a movement whose name was to become that of a heresy in both aesthetic criticism and artistic practice during Stalin's time.¹ Perhaps it would have been more prudent to head straight to some properly Marxist aesthetic doctrine, which, whatever its shortcomings or unorthodoxies, could not but prove more akin to the spirit and the letter of socialist realism. After...
Chapter 3 Knowledge Become Practice
Thinking as a modern, which is to say, being part of intellectual modernity, often meant finding oneself as an actor in a scene of dissimulation similar to the ones described in the previous two chapters. It meant regarding particular fields of experience as fields of false appearances whose falsity was, even so, a moment of truth. Grasping truth, then, was a matter of showing how appearances are generated, laying bare the device that has produced them and ordered them. It involved proceeding, by rigorous method, from the manifest to the latent actuality of "this," steering one's way, for the most...
Chapter 4 The Organization of Things
Largely left out of the previous chapter was Bogdanov's theory of culture, which constitutes a distinct and important aspect of his oeuvre and is certainly the main focus of interest for students of Soviet culture. Part of the reason for this omission is that Bogdanov's view of culture is simply a variation of his view of knowledge. Literature and the arts are for him elements of the ideological sphere, just as scientific cognition is. All of these participate in the scenario of dissimulation that plays itself out over the entire course of human history. And just as with cognition, the...
Chapter 5 The Organization of Minds
So far we have been following a cultural act of "organization" that deals with people and things as things, a kind of praxis aimed at the revolutionary transformation of the world'sobjecthood. To the extent that "man" is thematized at all in the (anti-)artistic doctrines of the avant-garde, he appears as determined by his own "thingness" and by the thingness of the world. As he labours, Gastev's man is composed of muscular forces, expenditures of energy strictly quantified in accordance with the task at hand, movements tailored (Taylorized) to the operations of the machine. As he acts, Meyerhold's man is,...
Chapter 6 The Anonymous Centre of Style
In the first part of this study, I plotted out several episodes of cultural-theoretical imagination. From the very outset, the assumption was that these imaginations had something in common. And it is this commonality that has justified my referring in the singular to a "plot," a "cultural act," a "symbolic performance," and, of course,thedeath of the author. The story I set out to (re)tell, in a specific national context, was about the anonymous centre that Rilke proclaimed to be the source of all genuine artistic activity. The theories discussed on the previous pages interest me insofar as they...
Chapter 7 The Unbearable Light of Being
The first epigraph, taken from Panferov's epic of collectivization, is meant to give us a first taste of a distinctly new mode of cultural creation. The taste has something of bland pleonasm to it. Comrade Arnol'dov's painting, his creation, reflects what is created by "our creators." This is its value and distinguishing quality. Some of those creators are seated around him: a tractor driver, akolkhozworker, an aviator, a party activist – a miniature model of the new social world. The person speaking is an old Bolshevik, Bogdanov. He is announcing the arrival of a present in which the...
Chapter 8 Ideology as Authentication
There is a well-known painting by Vitaly Komar and Alexander Melamid, hanging in the Zimmerli Art Museum, titledThe Origin of Socialist Realism. It belongs to the Nostalgic Socialist Realism series of the early 1980s. Stalin, clad in the white parade uniform of a generalissimo, is seated, expressionless, on a settee. The Muse, a half-undressed figure with long, lustrous hair, holds him gently under the chin. Stalin is the model, the Muse the artist. The palatial neoclassical interior is illuminated by a single oil lamp. The light from it casts an almost perfectly opaque shadow of Stalin's figure onto the...
Chapter 9 The Blind, the Seeing, and the Shiny
The theoretical credo of Althusser and Žižek – the objectivity of ideological belief – was the practicalmodus operandiof the Stalinist ideological regime. As E.P. Thompson remarked, the latter did not develop its own original theory of ideology. In practice, however, this regime consistently sought to demonstrate that personal convictions are merely the coming-to-consciousness of objective circumstances that shape the lives of individuals. Insofar as consciousness did not always keep up with its objective determinants, it was possible for people not to realize just how happy they were, just as those leading cadres Stalin was addressing in 1937 did...
Chapter 10 Life Happens
In the previous chapter, I presented the First All-Union Congress of Soviet Writers as a complex performance in which the agents of representation – Soviet writers – were notreallyagents but rather pieces in a larger show, during which they were required to show themselves as "moved" by the force of self-revelatory immanence. I hope I have made it clear that the case of the socialist-realist author under Stalinism was, in fact, an instance in the broader problematic of subjecthood, and that the motion of being moved to vision was an instance of a more general movement reaching beyond...

Driving Cleaner
America's dependence on gasoline as a transportation fuel worsens global warming and threatens public health. Increasing the use of electric vehicles – especially those powered by clean, renewable sources of electricity – can protect the climate and help America get off oil.
North Carolina Leaders Come Together to Praise New Carbon Pollution Standards that Will Protect Public Health, Address Climate Change
Raleigh, NC – Today, a broad cross section of community and elected leaders joined Environment North Carolina to praise the newly announced federal carbon pollution limits for power plants, the leading cause of climate change. Members from the medical, faith, and business communities all the lauded public health and other benefits the new rule will have for North Carolinians.
Sen. Kay Hagan Calls for Action on Climate
Yesterday evening on the Senate floor, North Carolina Senator Kay Hagan made an impassioned speech on the threat of global warming to North Carolina's future. Dave Rogers, Field Director with Environment North Carolina, issued the following statement in response:
"Sen. Hagan showed yesterday that she understands the urgency of addressing global warming. She understands what failing to act could mean for North Carolina's famous coastline and our agricultural heritage. Given the PR campaign by the dirty energy industry to spread junk science and deny climate change, we thank the senator for standing up with science and speaking the truth."
News Release | Environment North Carolina Research and Policy Center
Clean Energy is Cutting Carbon, But North Carolina Could Do More
Raleigh, NC – With extreme weather now becoming a common event throughout the state, North Carolina is proving that there are solutions to climate change. Clean energy policies, such as North Carolina's Renewable Energy Portfolio, have allowed the state to cut emissions of carbon pollution—the leading cause of global warming—according to a new report by Environment North Carolina Research & Policy Center. The report, "Moving America Forward," showed that even as North Carolina has made significant progress in developing clean energy, the state could be playing a much larger role in reducing carbon pollution.
Moving America Forward
American leadership in the fight against global warming is crucial. America is the world's largest economy, the second-largest emitter of global warming pollution, and the nation responsible for more of the human-caused carbon dioxide pollution in the atmosphere than any other. Without prompt action by the United States and others to reduce global warming pollution, catastrophic impacts – from coastal flooding to food system disruptions – could become unavoidable.

Q: Preannihilator of the annihilator I'm working through some linear algebra exercises and have a question regarding a proof of a statement about annihilators. My course seems much more elementary than what I've found on this forum about annihilators so let me state the definition I have.

Let $S \subseteq V$ be a subspace of a vector space $V$, we define the annihilator of $S$ as $S^° =\{ \varphi \in V^* \mid \varphi(s)=0 \ \forall s \in S\}$, where $V^*$ denotes the dual space of $V$.

The problem statement is the following

Let $V$ be a finite dimentional vector space, and $S$ a subspace of $V$. Let $T=\{v \in V \ \mid \varphi(v) =0 \  \forall \varphi \in S^°\}. $ Prove $S=T$

The inclusion $S \subseteq T$ follows straight from the definition of annihilator. My problem is that for the other inclusion, the provided proof in the book I'm reading seems much more complicated than what I came up with, so I'm worried I might have overlooked something in my attempt. What I've tried is the following:

Let $B_s =\{v_1,...,v_r\}$ be a basis of S, and $B=\{v_1,...,v_r,v_{r+1},...,v_n\}$ an extension to a basis of $V$. Consider $B^*=\{\varphi_1,...,\varphi_n\}$ the dual basis of $B$, that is, for each $i, j$, $\varphi_i(v_j)= 1$ if $i=j$ and $0$ if else. Let $t\in T$, then it's coordinate vector in basis $B$ is $(t)_B=(\varphi_1(t),...,\varphi_n(t))=(\varphi_1(t),...,\varphi_r(t),0,...,0)$ because for $i \geq r+1$, we have $\varphi_i\in S^°$. Then we must have $t\in S$ and $T\subseteq S$ which completes the proof.

I would very much appreciate it if someone could tell me if there's something wrong with my attempted proof, thanks!

Q: Capistrano deployment from Windows using forward_agent option: "Error reading response length from authentication socket." I'm trying to deploy a project using Capistrano.  My development machine is running Windows 7; the server I'm deploying onto is Linux.
In the deploy.rb script, the following is set:
ssh_options[:forward_agent] = true

The Capistrano script starts off by running a git command locally, at which point I'm prompted for the passphrase for my SSH key:
* executing `deploy:update_code'
executing locally: "git ls-remote git@github.com:pathto/gitproject.git develop"
Enter passphrase for key '/c/Users/Sam/.ssh/id_rsa':
command finished in 6999ms

(I've removed the real git path from the above as you can probably see.)
I enter my passphrase and this works fine.  However, Capistrano then tries to do something similar on the remote machine (renamed to staging-server.com in the below) and I get an error -- see the final line of this extract:
[staging-server.com] executing command
[staging-server.com] sh -c 'git clone git@github.com:pathto/gitproject.git /home/perstest/releases/20120412074500 && cd
/home/perstest/releases/20120412074500 && git checkout -b deploy 50eaf06d06d66fd20c3e55038276f420d8c308a8 && (echo 50eaf06d06d66fd20c3e55038
276f420d8c308a8 > /home/perstest/releases/20120412074500/REVISION)'
 ** [staging-server.com :: out] Initialized empty Git repository in /home/perstest/releases/20120412074500/.git/
 ** [staging-server.com :: err] Error reading response length from authentication socket.

If I comment out the forward_agent line in deploy.rb, this install succeeds, presumably using the key from the deployment server itself.
My SSH key seems to be working - after all, the initial git command works, I can use it in git push/pull and ssh -T git@github.com reports what it should (as recommended on github:help).
I assumed that my machine was not serving keys when asked for them by the remote server.  After an awful lot of Googling, I found the recommendations at http://hustoknow.blogspot.co.uk/2011/06/ssh-agent-and-agent-forwarding-on.html, which explain how to get ssh-agent running on startup.  I was doing all this from the command-prompt, so I then switched to git-bash and set up my .bash_profile for that to include the script I've linked to.
After adding this, I was prompted for my passphrase when first launching git bash and I could then connect to github using the SSH key (without having to re-enter passphrase).  Furthermore, ssh-add -L reported that there was indeed a key available.  So everything seems to be set up correctly!
However, I still get the "Error reading response length from authentication socket." error.
Any ideas?  This works for my colleague (same deploy.rb file) whose development machine is Linux.

A: This is a bug from net-ssh as described here

Q: Regex for the number that should not start with some specific two digit numbers I am trying to build a regex for following rules

*

*No characters – only numbers are allowed to enter

*Numbers must contain not less than 8 digits

*Numbers and combinations, starting as follows should not be allowed:

*

*[3.1]  - Any number starting with 0 (zero) and with 1 (one);

*[3.2] - Numbers starting with 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27.

I am able to achieve regex for points 1, 2 and 3.1 like this
^[2-9]{1}[0-9]{7,}$

But I am not able to find solution for point 3.2
This is one of the options I started with, this regex matches the string that must start with 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, or 27.
^([2][0-7])[2-9]{1}[0-9]{7,}$

I just have to find the negation of this first condition.
Please help!

A: Rather than trying to negate the 20-27 condition, just match numbers that start with 28 or 29 instead:
^(?:2[89]|[3-9]\d)\d{6,}$

Trypanocidal Effect of Cannabis sativa on Experimental Camel Trypansomosis
Samia H. Abdelrahman, Israa M. Mousa, Salwa M.E. Khojali and A.A. Ismail
Trypanosoma evansi causes camel Trypanosomosis. Cannabis sativa was evaluated in vivo against trypanosoma evansi experimentally infected in rats. Six groups of 6 rats each aged 6-8 weeks were used. Aqueous and methanolic extracts of the whole plant were administered orally at dose rates of 125 and 250 mg kg-1 BW for 10 consecutive days. The results were compared to the standard drug Trypacide (quinapyramine) . The parasitaemia in each rat was followed for 60 days. Both aqueous and methanolic extracts cleared the parasite on the second day of treatment for the dose 125 and 250 mg kg-1 BW. Relapse occurred at day 48 of treatment for both doses of methanolic extract. The pasitaemia appeared after 18 days of treatment with 125 mg kg-1 BW water extract. Trypacide, the standard drug curred the parasite for 10 days only were relapse occurred at day 11. The objective of this study is to evaluate trypanocidal activity of certain plant extracts compared to standard drugs.

Trypanosomosis caused by Trypanosoma spps are closely related to forms of diseases of man and animals (Soulsby, 1982). Camel Trypanosomosis is caused by Trypanosoma evansi and the disease is referred to as surra (FAO, 1988). Surra is of great economic importance in Africa, where thousands of animals die each year (Stephen, 1986). The disease is transmitted by the blood biting fly Tabanids. It causes emaciation, intermittent fever, weakness, anaemia and enlargement of lumph nodes, Saror (1980). Control of camel trypanosomosis is based mainly on treatment by trypanocidal drugs. The extensive use of these drugs resulted in the appearance of drug-resistant trypanosomes (El-Rayah et al., 1999). The situation was made worth by the slow development of new tryapanocidal drugs. This why an ethnobotanical approach collaboration with traditional healers remides may prove to be a rich source of drug discovery (Farnsworth et al., 1985). Herbal medicine is a common practice all over the world. Sudan is rich with plants used as herbal treatment. Elhardallou (2011) studied the cytotoxicity and biological activity of many Sudanese medicinal plants. In this study Cannabis sativa is selected upon its use in many countries for the treatment of, constipation, gout, malaria and absent-madness (Marijuana, 1975). Cannabis was used in the twentieth century B.C. in Egypt to treat sore eyes. In India, prior to tenth century B.C. bhanga was used as an anesthetic and anti phlegmatic (Sachindra and Pradhan, 1977). The plant was used as an anesthetic in surgery in ancient China. Cannabis was also widely used in Indian medicine, in both the Hindu and Moslem systems of drugs.
Rats: White albino rats were used in the present study. The rats were obtained from the central veterinary research laboratory, Soba. They were housed in laboratory cages, fed with pellets and were watered ad libitum.
The parasite was isolated from naturally infected camel at Alshowak, Algadarif estate. Infected blood was inoculated into a mouse for propagation. The blood of the infected mouse was cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen. The rapid matching wet-examination technique described by Herbert and Lumsden (1976) was used by examining a drop of mouse blood under the 40x magnification of a microscopic and counting the number of Trypanosoma in each field and matched with log figure obtained from the reference table. Trypanosomes were injected I/P at dose of 5x105.
The plant material:
Cannabis sativa: Cannabis sativa is a member of the family Cannabinaceae. Cannabis sativa preparation is known by various names worldwide. It is called Marijuana in America. Bhang, Takrori in Tunisia, Habak in Turkey, Hashish in Middle East, (Sarpong, 1971). In Sudan, the most famous names of Cannabis preparations are bango and hashish. The name bango in Sudan may be derived from the Indian name bhang. Cannabis sativa is a mono specific plant, a shrub-type of plant with a strong fragrance and grows in different areas in the world. The length of the plant ranges between 30 cm to 6 m. Its leaves are week and toothed and cluster in a shape of a fan.
Preparation of the plant extract: The whole plant of Cannabis sativa were obtained from Niala, South Darfur, Sudan, cleaned and dried. The oil was extracted as follows:
• The powder of Cannabis sativa whole plant obtained was successively extracted with methanol for 4 h, using soxhelt apparatus. The extract was occasionally shaken during the first 4 h and was then filtrated. The filtrate was evaporated under vacuum and the residue is brownish in color. It is kept as stock for use. The aqueous extract was extracted by dissolving in distilled water and then put in water bath for half an h. The extract will be kept overnight and then filtrate and kept as stock
Standard drug: Trypacide or quinapyramine was manufactured by Rhone-Merieux, France, is used at dose rate of 3.0-5.0 mg kg-1 BW subcutaneously.
Experimental design: Groups of 6 rats each were used; they aged 4-6 weeks, weighted 125-150 g and divided as follows:
• Group 1: Infected untreated control
• Group 2: Infected ad treated with 10 mg kg-1 of trypacide S C-1
• Group 3: Infected and treated with 125 mg kg-1 BW of plant methanolic extract
• Group 4: Infected and treated with 250 mg kg-1 of plant methanolic extract
• Group 5: Infected and treated with 125 mg kg-1 BW of plant aqueous extract+10 mg kg-1 BW trypacide
• Group 6: Infected and treated with 250 mg kg-1 of plant methanolic extract+10 mg kg-1 BW trypacide
The plant extract was given orally using nasogastric tube for 10 consecutive days.
Trypacide was used as a standard drug in this experiment at a dose rate of 10 mg kg-1 BW. It was found that drug cured the parasite at the third day of treatment but relapse occurred after ten days of treatment. With the plant, it was clear that there was an immediate cure as from the second day of treatment when the methanolic extract was given at both doses. All the rats either given 125 or 250 mg kg-1 BW became aparasitaemic till day 48 when the parasite appeared with clearance percentage 100%. There was death in the group that given 125 mg kg-1 BW together with the standard drug and the percentage rate was found to be 90%. There was death associated with the untreated group with percentage rate 50% (Table 1).
Figure 1 presented comparison between the activity of the metabolic extract of Cannabis sativa and the standard drug trypacide and Fig. 2 presented comparison between the activity of the aqueous extract of Cannabis sativa and the standard drug trypacide. The best result was obtained with methanolic extract.

Fig. 1: Comparison between the activity of the methanolic extract of Cannabis sativa and the standard drug trypacide
Fig. 2: Comparison between the activity of the aqueous extract of Cannabis sativa and the standard drug trypacide
The search for an active trypanocidal drug from a plant origin is a concern of many researchers. The study gave an indication of the activity of Cannabis sativa used in this study. No relapse occurred with both doses of the methanolic extract which indicates that the plant has a trypanocidal activity with slight toxicity associated with aqueous extract given together with the standard drug. The result obtained was agreed to that of result agreed with that of Nok et al. (1994) who studied the effect of Cannabis sativa, They found that the aqueous extract of the seeds of C. sativa when administered by injection at a dose of 50 mg kg-1 BW/day for five consecutive days, cured rats infected experimentally with T. brucei. The high level of activity displayed by the methanolic extract, indicates that the methanol might be capable to extract the biological active principle (s) responsible for the trypanocidal effect of the plants used.
Identifying bioactive compounds and establishing their health effects are active areas of scientific enquiry (Kris-Etherton et al., 2004). Further study of the isolation and characterization of the plant should be applied to know the active components.

Oppenheimer: "I don't know about that. I'm delighted to be thought shy and modest. I perhaps have the advantages my father gave me, which he didn't have. I think this makes a difference in your approach to life."
Interviewer: "Do you think it's a fair assessment to say that you haven't got his streak of ruthlessness for getting to the top?"
Oppenheimer: "I didn't think my father was a very ruthless character, but I think I'm reasonably determined."
Oppenheimer: "You know in South Africa we're a strange country because we're always complaining that people outside misunderstand us. But we are very difficult to understand."
TRANSCRIPT: SEQ. 9: Oppenheimer: "Well I don't know that I've put so much money into the Progressive Party, but I support the Progressive Party because its views are nearer my views than any other political party. I mean I wouldn't like to defend in detail everything the Progressive Party says, but I certainly am a member of the Party and I believe it's on the right track in South Africa."
TRANSCRIPT: SEQ. 10: Interviewer: "But does it ever worry you that so much of your empire is being ploughed back to bolster up the government you oppose?"
Oppenheimer: "No it doesn't worry me at all, because I think to begin with that if you are running big business in this country and in other African countries, you have got to put that aside and simply say it is a good thing for the population as a whole to raise the standard of living, and this flows from what we are doing. That is the first thing. And that is the line we take in all countries, and that is a common interest of all countries, to raise the standard of living, and if you stick to that people are happy to have you, on the whole. On top of that, in the particular context of South Africa, putting my own political hat on, I believe that the rapid economic development of South Africa is about the only chance I see of the sort of change that I hope for taking place peacefully."
Initials JKP:1509
Background: It has been said that the Republic of South Africa is controlled by two men heading two organisations; Mr. John Vorster and his Nationalist Government head the political side, and Mr. Harry Oppenheimer and his giant Anglo-American company control the Finance in the country.
Anglo-American announced earlier this month that ti is to pump some 2.3 million sterling into a big farming scheme to help Zambia produce maize and beef. This financial deal could save landlocked Zambia up to 18 million sterling in foreign exchange over the next decade. This latest financial move from Anglo-American is a comparatively small one -- Oppenheimer and his companies control more than three thousand million pounds sterling, and has more influence on his country's economy than, comparatively speaking, General Motors has on the U.S. economy.
This profile, from VISNEWS library film, illustrates the type of man Oppenheimer is. It includes his wealth, his philosophy, his politics and his influence. It leads to the point that Oppenheimer is probably the most powerful man in South Africa today.
SYNOPSIS: John Vorster is South Africa's most powerful politician controlling the ruling Nationalist Party; but Harry Oppenheimer is one of the world's most powerful financiers, controlling assets worth over a thousand million pounds sterling.
Three out of every ten gold bars poured in the Western world come from an Oppenheimer mine. His own personal fortune - if it could be converted into gold bars and laid end to end - would stretch for nearly six miles. Some say Oppenheimer is a shy, modest man.
Oppenheimer was born in South Africa and took an Oxford degree in politics and economics. He served as an intelligence officer in the Second World War and then spent ten years as an opposition member of parliament for Kimberly. On the death of his father in 1957 he gave up politics and devoted himself to the family business.
He gives a large amount of his fortune to charity and finances the Progressive Party, using its platform to air his views.

As a kid, David Harris never envisioned that magic would be his life's work.
Magic was just a hobby he picked up as a teenager, but his real passion was singing, dancing, acting and performing music. He's performed at DisneyWorld, Kings Dominion, Busch Gardens, Universal Studios and on cruise ships.

Today, David performs nearly 45 to 50 trade shows each year across the country, including trade show booths, conferences, hospitality suites, sales meetings and stage performances in front of thousands of people.
In economic times when many companies are trimming their marketing budgets, David is a line item few have given up, a testament to what an essential part he has become in his clients' marketing plans.
That kid who casually learned magic at 16 has grown up, but he's remained a big kid … a combination of youthful energy and years of experience in putting magic to work for his clients.
David and his family live in Orlando, Florida.

Video Shows A Nashville Cop Narrowly Avoiding The RV Bomb Seconds Before It Went Off
"I just see orange, and then I hear a loud boom," one officer recalled of the explosion.
By Julia Reinstein
Julia Reinstein BuzzFeed News Reporter
Posted on December 28, 2020, at 1:47 p.m. ET
A law enforcement member walks past damage from an explosion in downtown Nashville on Dec. 25, 2020.
New surveillance footage shows a Nashville police officer walking about a block from an RV just seconds before it exploded in downtown on Christmas, killing its occupant and injuring three others.
Metro Nashville PD @MNPDNashville
This is video of Friday morning's explosion recorded by an MNPD camera at 2nd Ave N & Commerce St.
01:05 AM - 28 Dec 2020
The footage was released Sunday hours after officials identified the person killed in the explosion as 63-year-old Anthony Quinn Warner.
In addition to injuring three people, the apparent suicide bombing severely damaged nearby buildings and affected cellphone networks.
Officials said they did not immediately know what Warner's motive was, which is why the incident has not yet been labeled domestic terrorism.
"When we assess an event for domestic terrorism ... it has to be tied to an ideology," said Doug Korneski, the special agent in charge of the FBI's Memphis office. "It's the use of force or violence in the furtherance of a political [or] social ideology — we haven't tied it to that yet."
Warner is believed to have acted alone, and there is no indication that there are other suspects.
One person, who previously employed Warner as a computer technician, told WSMV-TV that the FBI asked him whether Warner was paranoid about 5G, a technology that has become a focus of conspiracy theories, such as the QAnon mass delusion. He said Warner never mentioned it, and he was unaware of any particular ideology he may have had.
On Sunday, Nashville Mayor John Cooper told CBS's Face the Nation that the incident appeared to be an attack on infrastructure.
"To all of us locally, it feels like there has to be some connection with the AT&T facility and the site of the bombing," Cooper said. "You know, and that's a bit of just local insight in because it's got to have something to do with the infrastructure."
In a press conference on Sunday, Nashville Police Chief John Drake praised the six officers who evacuated civilians from the area after the RV played a warning message that it would blow up in 15 minutes.
"They didn't think about their own lives; they didn't think about protecting themselves," Drake said. "They thought about the citizens of Nashville and protecting them."
Metropolitan Nashville Police Department
A photo of the RV captured on surveillance footage prior to the explosion, released by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.
In between broadcasting the warning message, the RV played music, one of the officers, James Luellen, told reporters.
"What I specifically … remembered was 'Downtown, where the lights shine bright,'" Luellen said. "Later, the ATF agent I spoke to pulled it up, and it's 'Downtown' by Petula Clark was a specific song that was played."
Another officer, James Wells, recalled the terrifying minutes before the bomb went off, saying he'd gone back to his car to get body armor, and then started walking back toward the RV.
"I literally hear God telling me to turn around and go check on [Officer] Topping... and then the music stopped and as I'm walking back toward Topping now, I just see orange, and then I hear a loud boom."
Wells said the blast was so intense he nearly lost his footing.
"[As] I started stumbling, I just tell myself to stay on your feet and stay alive," Wells said.
Emergency personnel work at the scene of the explosion in downtown Nashville on Dec. 25.
Topping also recalled the moment of the explosion, and how she ran to Wells and took cover with him in a doorway.
"I've never grabbed somebody so hard in my life," Topping said. "I will never forget the windows shattering after the blast all around me — it kind of looked like a big prop from a movie scene, all the glass breaking at once."
In a Fox News interview Monday, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee thanked the responding officers for evacuating people from the scene.
"When they talk about putting their lives on the line, that's exactly what they did that morning," Lee said. "They ran into that situation and saved so many lives."
Lee also said he spoke to President Trump on Sunday to request emergency relief funding for the small business owners whose businesses were destroyed in the explosion.
"Small business owners have had a very difficult year to start with," Lee said. "When you see the damage down there... I see business owners with a new struggle."

Coronavirus: Scientists question school closures impact
By Michelle Roberts Health editor, BBC News online
Countries like the UK that have closed schools to help stop the spread of coronavirus should ask hard questions about whether this is now the right policy, says one team of scientists.
The University College London team says keeping pupils off has little impact, even with other lockdown measures.
But a scientist whose work has informed the UK strategy insists school closures play an important role.
The government has said it will review its coronavirus policies after Easter.
While children can catch coronavirus, they rarely get severe symptoms.
But they can still spread the infection, which is why many countries have closed schools.
What does the research show?
The research, published in The Lancet Child and Adolescent Health, looked at 16 studies - some based on the spread of coronavirus, and others on seasonal flu and the 2003 Sars outbreak. The findings suggest:
While school closures help during influenza outbreaks, the same may not apply to coronavirus
Data from the Sars outbreak (in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Singapore) suggest that school closures did not contribute to the control of the epidemic
Recent modelling studies of Covid-19 predict that school closures alone would prevent only 2%-4% of deaths, many fewer than other social distancing interventions
How reliable are the findings?
One of the research authors, Prof Russell Viner, said: "Data on the benefit of school closures in the coronavirus outbreak is limited, but what we know shows that their impact is likely to be only small.
"Additionally, the costs of national school closures are high - children's education is damaged and their mental health may suffer, family finances are affected.
"Policymakers need to be aware of the equivocal evidence."
He says policymakers must weigh up the possible harms and reopen schools at the earliest opportunity - and not necessarily wait until September if it can be done safely sooner.
Prof Neil Ferguson, from Imperial College London, worked on the scientific modelling that the current government advice is based on. He says the Lancet research fails to take into account the impact that school closure can have alongside other lockdown measures.
"When combined with intense social distancing it plays an important role in severing remaining contacts between households and thus ensuring transmission declines," he said.
A SIMPLE GUIDE: How do I protect myself?
AVOIDING CONTACT: The rules on self-isolation and exercise
LOOK-UP TOOL: Check cases in your area
MAPS AND CHARTS: Visual guide to the outbreak
STRESS: How to look after your mental health
What is the UK's current policy?
We have entered the third week since UK schools closed to pupils, with the exception of looking after the children of key workers and vulnerable students.
Nurseries, private schools and sixth forms have also been told to follow the guidance to close their doors.
At the time, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the move was necessary to "apply further downward pressure" on the virus to avoid a "catastrophic epidemic".
Chief medical officer Prof Chris Whitty also explained that schools were "not dangerous" for children during the pandemic, but that the decision to close them would slow the rise of infections.
Will it change?
The government says it will be guided by the science in terms of when to lift any of the restrictions it has put in place to help slow and suppress the disease.
New cases and deaths from coronavirus continue to rise, suggesting the UK is not yet at the peak of the outbreak and tough restrictions are still needed to ease pressure on the NHS and save lives.
Is it even practical to let schools reopen?
The measures that have been urgently put in place to fight the virus, including school closures, work in combination with each other.
While some have more of an impact than others, it may not necessarily make sense to lift just one.
For example, even if schools were allowed back, the social distancing measures that we are all being asked to heed, which experts say are very effective, would probably have to remain.
So children going back to school would probably still have to follow the stay-at-home advice outside of school, and also the 2m close-contact rule while in school.
There's also the staff to consider - some may be in high risk groups who should not work away from home.
Prof Viner says schools could have a phased comeback - banning or limiting playtimes and scheduling some part-time classes for pupils to reduce mixing, for example.
"There's a whole range of things that schools could do to reopen in a way that involves social distancing at schools but keeps schools open."
He said that opening schools should be part of the early step away from lockdown.
What do other experts think?
Dr Samantha Brooks, from King's College London and team member of the NIHR Health Protection Research Unit in Emergency Preparedness & Response, said: "The finding that school closures have at best only a small impact on the spread of Covid-19 is of great significance, especially linked with the sensible suggestions for how a gradual return to normal schooling could be implemented."
Prof Robert Dingwall, professor of sociology at Nottingham Trent University, said: "This is an important study that confirms what many of us suspected, namely that the public health benefits of school closures were not proportionate to the social and economic costs imposed on children and their families.
"It also underlines how the assumptions used in modelling the pandemic may rest on very flimsy foundations in terms of scientific evidence. This work suggests that UK schools could, and should, begin to reopen as soon as practicable after the initial wave of cases has passed through."

The 10-day period beginning November 2, 2013 marks the 30th anniversary of the Able Archer 83 incident—a misunderstanding over military exercises that brought the United States and Soviet Union perilously close to nuclear conflict. Although the Cold War ended peacefully, nuclear weapons remain one of the greatest threats to global security. Carnegie Corporation of New York seeks to reduce this threat by investing in cutting edge analytical work on nonproliferation, supporting education and training programs for the next generation of nuclear experts, and supporting a limited number of Track II efforts focused on Iran and North Korea. We invite you to learn more about the work of Carnegie Corporation and its grantees in this vital area. Read reports on our progress, or visit our "Rebuilding the U.S.–Russia Relationship" pages for viewpoints on the current relationship between the two global powers.
This 2013 issue of Carnegie Results examines an initiative launched by the Henry L. Stimson Center to build an effective model for sustainable nonproliferation of biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons. The project represented an exciting and innovative way of thinking about security: a "dual-use" approach that operated at the nexus of the security and development communities. The team's ingenuity paid off. A novel idea, supported with modest grants from Carnegie Corporation, went on to secure millions in support from international sources, achieving real-world policy wins.
This backgrounder provides an overview of investments in nuclear security made by both the Carnegie Corporation of New York as well as the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. These efforts included laying the groundwork for the so-called "Nunn-Lugar" act of 1991, to reduce the Soviet threat, as well as helping with negotiations on the New START agreement between the United States and Russia.
Some 10 years after its founding by businessman Ted Turner and former Senator Sam Nunn, those involved with the work of the Nuclear Threat Initiative, including some former top U.S. officials, told Carnegie Results in 2011 that they can look back on a decade's worth of effort and see real results from the organization's activities aimed at making the dangers of nuclear weapons and materials an issue of critical concern for nations around the globe.
Whether the thought of scores of Russian scientists working for enemies of America was overblown or not, the potentially horrific equation led to a number of U.S. programs in the 1990s to try and safeguard against nuclear weapons leaks, including one wherein Carnegie Corporation played a supportive funding role, as examined by this 2010 issue of Carnegie Results.
The Corporation sponsored major international programs focused on improving U.S.–Soviet relations and promoting cooperation in areas such as arms control and nuclear non-proliferation. Building on these earlier efforts, the Corporation then began, in the late 1990s, to add an ambitious new dimension to its involvement in the countries of the former Soviet Union, as it sought to engage more directly in the transformation of post-Soviet higher education. This 2009 issue of Carnegie Results examines these efforts.
During the 1980s and 1990s, Carnegie Corporation invested approximately $120 million in projects aimed at focusing policy, public, scientific and scholarly attention on the imperatives and opportunities for taming reckless policies and cementing closer bonds. With the emergence of a "new Russia" and with leaderships in Washington and Moscow concentrating on new global threats, this 2005 issue of Carnegie Results reflects on the foundation's programmatic experience with the former Soviet Union.
This 2004 issue of Carnegie Results explores how, over more than two decades, the foundation has honed and refocused its grantmaking in nuclear nonproliferation while retaining a consistent focus on applying its resources to the reduction of grave threats to world peace.

Siberian scientists have created the world's first multi-layer airgel, which enables to record accurately measure the speed of elementary particles, for example, in the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, told RIA Novosti senior researcher at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of SB RAS Budker Evgeny Kravchenko.
The set of elementary particles produced in collisions of cosmic rays with the upper layers of the atmosphere. Among them are antiprotons. Scientists have speculated that the negatively charged antiprotons moving along the magnetic field lines of the earth, to form a kind of antiproton belt. However, to register these particles until recently it was not possible.
In the new study, experts analyzed data collected in low orbit for 850 days, the instrument PAMELA (a Payload for Antimatter Matter Exploration and Light-nuclei Astrophysics — "The payload for the study of matter and astrophysics antisostavlyayuschey light nuclei").

Zuma's Case To Resume In Court
Jacob Zuma's refusal to testify against corruption charges during his decade "tenure" (2009-2019) as president of South Africa led to the ordering of the initial 15-month term.
In July, when Zuma handed himself peacefully to the police, it was the beginning of a bloody unrest for the country. His supporters protested — demanding for his release, but things turned out to be chaotic. The riot escalated into looting of businesses, pulling and dragging the South African economy in mud amid the Covid-19 crisis.
"It's really sad. These political situations cost us a lot and it doesn't represent the country well," Tshebang Lobete, a South African tourism specialist, told us as of that period. He said he was safe and sound at the Game Reserve.
The situation led to the death of about 337 people with about R5bn billion ($348m) in damages according to the Trade Minister, Ebrahim Patel.
As Zuma's case resumes in court, Judge Piet Koen said on Wednesday that the hearing will "proceed in an open court" on August 10.
Hope for South Africa Amidst Zuma's Case
As we discussed further with Lobete, he was completely hopeful and optimistic for his country.
"The storm will pass and reasons to celebrate SA will be there," he said.


The Competition, organised by the Feltmakers, was held once again at Queen's Club on Wednesday 11th September and despite the promise of rain from the weathermen, we were lucky to have an almost completely dry day for the competition.
We had 20 pairs this year from 11 different Livery Companies, include the Mercers and the Drapers, which made the mathematics easier for Liveryman Bruce Fraser, who once again did a magnificent job in keeping the competition on track.
This was despite the slight irritation of continuing to win with his partner, Sarah Ward, and indeed they reached the semi-finals of the Cup competition, flying the Feltmakers' flag until almost the end. A splendid effort, nearly matched by the Feltmakers 2nd Pair of Gilly and Alan Yarrow, who also made it through to the Quarter Finals of the main Cup draw, making it certainly the best Feltmakers' showing for some years.
Competition was once again pretty fierce, with last year's winners, the Tallow Chandlers' brother and sister pairing of Alex and Chris Kurkijan, once again the team to beat. However they faced strong competition in particular from two teams from the Horners, and it was another brother and sister team, Clare & Robert Hunt from the Horners, who faced the defending champions in the final. Despite having played almost faultless tennis up until the final, the Horners were unable to find a way past their opponents, and so for another year, the Tallow Chandlers' name will be on the trophy.
The Plate Competition was equally hard fought with the remaining teams entering the knockout competition where all matches are the best of 7 games.The final was contested by teams from the Carmen and the Girdlers, and as the last match of the competition, it was the only one to fall foul of the weather, with rain forcing a dash to the indoor courts to finish off the game. The Carmen team of June Saywell and Frank Wallis eventually emerged victorious and were presented with the very elegant Plate donated by Past Master Geoffrey Farr. The losing finalists from the Girdlers were gallantly represented by their Master's wife, Alison Seaton and their Clerk, Ian Rees.
After the exertions of the day, 66 players, helpers and guests including both the Upper Warden and the Renter Warden and his wife, enjoyed a lovely 3 course meal and wine followed by the Prize Presentation by our Master, Anthony Phillips, who was instrumental in initially setting up the Tennis Tournament.
I would again like to thank Bruce Fraser for all his help and support, and also to to those who helped me on the day, Assistant Simon Wood and Liveryman Richard Brumby, without whom the day would not have run so smoothly.
The tournament next year has provisionally been pencilled in for Wednesday 10th September, (I am waiting for confirmation form Queen's at Christmas), so please keep this date clear in your diaries as all assistance on the day is gratefully received, and the dinner at Queens' Club isn't bad either!


- "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in Spirit and in TRUTH"
Sometimes young, enthusiastic politicians run for office by promising "Change" from previous political major mistakes.
as all of the other "politically correct" compromisers of the TRUTH learned long ago (in order to stay in office).
The Corruption Conundrum is that Compromising the TRUTH Perpetuates Great Evil, without making progress toward promised change. President Obama PROMISED To End All Pork-Barrel Earmarks (in order to balance the budget), but Barack Obama quickly broke that promise (and many others) by immediately signing 9,000 new fiscally-irresponsible deficit-spending earmarks into federal law (to accommodate great evil traditional political expediency).
Our grandchildren will still be paying for Obama's many broken promises long after he leaves office.
We are $14 Trillion in debt, and still overspending more than any nation in history ever has before.
85% of Americans are very displeased. Corrupt incumbents in both parties are at jeopardy of losing their next election.
(if the sad TRUTH is exposed to all voters).
Our endless serious suicidal problems of today CANNOT BE SOLVED BY COMPROMISING SUSTAINABILITY.
You cannot compromise on only half of the energy required to get to the moon and back.
The Apollo Project was 6% of our national budget ($0.50 per person per day) - $125 billion in today's dollars.
Apollo caused us to advance from slide rules to today's computers, Internet, GPS, and almost everything that is now packed with electronic intelligence. There were over $9 worth of immediate benefits for every $1 we spent on our aggressive, expensive space program.
The Emerald Eco-City No Compromise Objective ZERO goals are far more important than Apollo "Man on the Moon" Ever Was.
Our unprecedented Emerald Eco-City (world's-largest-development-project) will provide the LARGEST SET OF BENEFITS TO HUMANITY of ANY project throughout human history – Far MORE than $9 ROI for every dollar we will soon spend.
Hundreds of new Eco-Cities (one-to-ten million people living-and-working in each) MUST use the demonstrated Objective ZERO principles worldwide in only a few decades to avoid our current path toward the Suicide of Humanity.
Our previous website material clearly demonstrated how desperately we need to develop-and-REFINE all of the Emerald Eco-City No compromise Objective ZERO details in only a few short years. It will take an unprecedented investment of money and time, BUT we do NOT want every new future 21ST Century Emerald Eco-City to have to reinvent this critical Objective ZERO wheel. It MUST be the world's largest COLLABORATIVE design effort in history, with best-and-brightest input from many-different fields of expertise.
AND Explain to your children that you selfishly do not give a damn about them!
AND you believe that we must STOP compromising with suicidal crooks, then you are now one of our new Emerald Eco-City Friends.
We would like to hear from you– What are YOUR questions?
Please read on – We gladly share our thirty years of life's loving work with you.
Lifelong Learning In An Ever-Expanding Universe Of Endless Possibilities.

Our Molly Moo at her best...getting muddy from the pond!!
Molly was a beautiful golden retriever. She had a personality like a person but I have to say better than some people!! She truly could make you laugh and put a smile on your face. When I picked her out of a litter of 11 puppies...I just knew she was the one! She was the fattest, fluffiest and the only one awake! I picked her up and she snuggled her head right under my chin. I knew right away!! She came home with us smelling like a cow since she was born in a barn the day after Christmas.
Our whole family enjoyed her for almost 13 years. She went with us to our cabin every summer. Loved to swim in the pond and sleep by the bonfire in the woods. She would go into the pond and put her head under the water, blow bubbles out of her nose and find rocks and bring them to us and drop them at our feet. We would get a kick out of watching her every time. I think she actually loved to amuse us and did it just for that reason. She would eat corn on the cob like a person would. My husband used to say she was such a lady because she liked it when you would break up treats for her and feed them to her a little bit at a time rather than just gulping it down.
When we went to Dairy Queen she also got a baby cone. She was a spoiled one.
Everybody loved her. When we would pet or scratch her head and stop she would nudge your hand with her nose or put her paw in your lap so you would continue. She was one of a kind and we will miss her so much.
She was slowing down with her old age and did have hip dysplasia but she was still getting around. One day she got really sick and couldn't stand. I knew it was time. She even looked at me with those big brown eyes like she was ready. It was the saddest and hardest thing I have ever done in my life. My son and his friend helped put her in the car and stayed with me in the room with her till the end.
We should be getting her ashes any day now. I think we will bury some in our backyard and some at our cabin. My daughter wants to put some in a locket she can wear. The vet also made us a plaster paw mold for us which was very nice I thought. We will have a memorial plaque made for her and put it in our yard.
Molly Moo....you will be missed but thank you so much for all the wonderful years you gave us. The laughs, the smiles, the tail wags and the cuddling. We will never forget you and no other dog can ever replace you!!

Opinion | Recalibrating culture wars in age of Trump
The Trump presidency begs the question of whether the culture wars have much to do with religion as a source of moral reasoning.
Opinion | Recalibrating culture wars in age of Trump The Trump presidency begs the question of whether the culture wars have much to do with religion as a source of moral reasoning. Check out this story on commercialappeal.com: https://memne.ws/2quETJC

In many ways, the American cultural landscape resembles two towering cliffs on opposite sides of a vast canyon. On one side of the chasm stand religious, cultural, and political liberals, and on the other, their conservative counterparts.
Another metaphor often used to describe these divisions employs language of armed conflict. Traditionalists and progressives don't just disagree; they are actively fighting against each other in a series of battles known as the "culture wars."
The culture wars thesis has been around for several decades, typically pitting those who stress the importance of right belief and individual responsibility against those who stress the relativity of belief and the need to reform social systems.
Religion has factored prominently into analysis of the culture wars, not just as a category of belonging, but as a source of moral reasoning. The Trump presidency, however, begs the question of whether the culture wars have much to do with religion in this second sense.
The culture wars have historically been demarcated more by religious worldview than by identity markers such as ethnicity, class, religious affiliation, or political party. But the contemporary scene is just the reverse.
Religious reasoning has not disappeared from the rhetorical weaponry of the culture wars, but it is often used as cover for promoting identity politics or elevating interest groups. People still bring their deepest values to the public square, but those values are increasingly tribal.
It is in this context that an overwhelming majority of white evangelicals cast their vote for a man whose values are difficult to square with the ethics of Jesus, but who promised to protect the interests of American conservative Christians.
It is also in this context that people of color, immigrants, non-Christians, and folks who identify as LGBTQ largely find themselves on the other side of the cultural matrix from white evangelicals.
A standoff between various social groups in our society will ultimately produce no winners. Culture wars bring out the worst in many who wage them while failing to bring about lasting positive change in society.
They also further alienate people whose marginalized status all but ensures that gaining power over others will not be a successful strategy for promoting their wellbeing.
As a descriptive category for understanding what is going on in our country, culture war theorizing has not lost its relevance or utility. But as a prescription for Christian cultural engagement, culture war rhetoric needs to be retired.
Christians should recover a vision for society that moves beyond self-interest to the common good, and beyond Christianity as a belief system, moral code, or constituency to Christianity as a path of transformative love.
The culture wars are a symptom of a larger problem of Christians failing to take their faith seriously not just as a personal boon but as a call to self-transcendence—a call to love God and neighbor, and to participate in God's reign of justice and peace.

Valerie Plame Wilson is fundraising to buy a controlling share of Twitter so that she can ban President Trump from the social media platform….
But Wilson's progress has been slow: She has raised almost $3,000 since the page was set up on Aug. 16, well short of her $1 billion target….
There is a 'block' feature you know, but if you really feel threatened by President #Trump, just pull the covers over your head until 2024.

Ferrari Formula One driver Sebastian Vettel likes to name his cars, and this year's Ferrari is named Margherita, writes Motorsport.com. We don't care that he was thinking of beautiful Italian women instead of pizza: this makes us pretty hungry anyway.
It is a name first of all: Margherita.
I think if you look up, the first thing that comes up is a name not a pizza. We just like the name. Every year we gave the car a name. Last year Eva, this year Margherita.
Fair enough. I'm sure Margheritas all over the world secretly want to give Vettel a high five for pointing this out, having long suffered the indignity of being immediately associated with delicious pizza.
Not to be distracted too much by lunch—is it time for lunch yet? Pizza has been mentioned. I mean, um, yeah. Vettel also mentioned during the same press conference that he and the Ferrari F1 team are optimistic about Margherita the car's (not the pizza's) performance. The team started early last year on this year's design, which they hope will be enough to catch up to the dominant Mercedes cars.
Here's hoping the car is as good as the pizza, then.
It's really good pizza, and I hate tomatoes. Margherita pizza is really the only time I ever tolerate slices of tomatoes on anything. Sort of. Sometimes I pick them off. That's how good margherita pizza is, though. I'll eat it anyway, despite the fact that tomatoes are gross.
See, Margherita is a good name for a car.
