The Old English Way of Evangelism, Part II
(Copyright 2004 by Arthur W. Collins)
Critique of The Celtic Way of Evangelism
Hunter does a good job of presenting the attractive features of Celtic Christianity. And there is no disputing the amazing work of Patrick, Columba, and the Irish monastics. They penetrated pagan cultures, identified with them, and brought them thoroughly to Christ.
The conversion went deep into the popular spirit of the peoples of Ireland and (Gaelic) Scotland. The many learned prayers, constantly repeated, demonstrate a deep piety characteristic of Celtic Christianity. The appreciation of nature which sees God -- the Triune God of orthodox Christianity -- present everywhere lends beauty and power to the Celtic expression of faith in art.
The Celtic monasteries emphasized spiritual formation in a way that John Wesley and the Moravians would have approved. Even the bishops were expected to be under the spiritual guidance of abbots.
A passion for learning caused the Irish monks to preserve, illuminate, and pass on classical learning. Greek and Hebrew were being taught in Irish monasteries at a time when the Latin of the Vulgate was barely within the command of Continental monks.
Finally, Hunter rightly points out the missionary impulse present in the Celtic Church. It was deeply felt. The desire to bring the gospel to other nations caused the Irish monks to go to Scotland, Switzerland, Northumbria, maybe even Iceland --and, according to tradition, America. This explains how the nation of Brazil got its name. People remembered the stories of St. Brendan the Navigator, who supposedly sailed west and found the Isles of the Blest (Hy Breasil in the Irish).
In telling the story of Celtic Christianity, however, Hunter is guilty of some terribly sloppy history. His worst howler is probably where he makes reference to the Scots-Irish. He says, "In the two centuries following Patrick, hoards [sic] of the Irish invaded Scotland and absorbed the Picts, thus accounting for the term 'Scots-Irish' and explaining the similarities in Scottish and Irish accents and culture to this day [p. 18]."
Simply put, he has the Scots-Irish arriving 1200 years too soon, headed in the opposite direction, and part of an entirely different religious movement. Yes, the Scots of Scotia (Ireland) invaded Pictland from the West. Eventually, the Scots absorbed the Picts; Kenneth MacAlpin is credited with being the first to unite Picts and Scots under a single monarchy. But it was 17th-Century Presbyterian Scots opposed to Catholic restoration who were invited into Northern Ireland by the English to keep the native Irish down. The Scots-Irish spoke a variety of English, and still do. These are the "Scots-Irish" who later immigrated to America in such numbers.
Hunter goes on to discuss the movement of Celtic Christianity into the Anglo-Saxon world from the north and the establishment of the monastic center of Lindisfarne in Northumbria. At about the same time, Roman Christianity was entering that kingdom from the south, via the preaching of Paulinus at the court of Edwin, King of Northumbria. In another generation, differences between Celtic and Roman Christianity came to a head at the Synod of Whitby, where King Oswy chose to follow Rome. The Celtic influence in northern England declined thereafter. Hunter sees this as an example of how the followers of Roman (read, "authoritarian, inflexible, arrogant, non-growing") Christianity forced aside the followers of Celtic (read, "cooperative, adaptable, spiritual, growing") Christianity.
This Roman/Celtic dichotomy runs throughout the rest of his work. He increasingly caricatures Roman and Celtic differences in order to emphasize it. Perhaps worst, though, he completely misunderstands the Old English Church. He treats it as a blank slate upon which the conflict of Rome and Iona played itself out. Anything good later accomplished by English missionaries he assumes is copied from the Celtic model. Everything which cannot be ascribed to good, Celtic influences must therefore be bad -- and Roman. This shows a complete disregard for the genius of Anglo-Saxon Christianity.
Let us begin to set the record straight. To begin with, we must understand the dual nature of the Northumbrian monarchy. The kingdom of Northumbria was a fusion of two smaller kingdoms, Bernicia (roughly, lowland Scotland today) and Deira (roughly, modern Yorkshire). Two royal houses jockeyed for leadership over the whole.
According to tradition, Pope St. Gregory's initial impulse to evangelize the Anglo-Saxons came when he saw some blond-haired youths for sale in the Roman slave market. What people are these? he asked. Upon being told that they were Angles, he is supposed to have said, Non Angli, sed angeli ("not Angles, but angels") for they were so fair in appearance. He asked them who their lord was, and they replied, Aelle. Their king's name sounded as if they were already saying "Hallelujah," so Gregory decided they simply must be saved. He asked where they were from, and they said, from Deira, which to Gregory's mind sounded like they were destined to be saved from the wrath (de ira) of God. The point is, the people of Northumbria thought of themselves as being either Bernicians or Deirans more than Northumbrians.
After Aelle's death, the Bernician royal house gained ascendancy, which meant that Aelle's son, Edwin, was living in exile in East Anglia, where he made his first acquaintance with Christianity. Edwin is supposed to have had a vision, or meeting with a mysterious visitor there, who spoke to him alone concerning both God and his (at that time, highly improbable) return to his kingdom. After he regained the throne, he was therefore very open to the preaching of Paulinus (part of the Roman mission to the Anglo-Saxons), who represented the Christianity he had seen in East Anglia -- and who revealed to him the contents of the meeting he had had with the mysterious stranger. So Edwin was baptized by Paulinus, and much of his court converted with him, including the chief pagan priest, Coifi.
Meanwhile, Celtic Christianity had been entering Bernicia via Lindisfarne. After Edwin's death in battle with the pagan King Penda of Mercia, the rival, Bernician royal house took power. King Oswy and his family had received the faith from Lindisfarne. This set up the confrontation between the representatives of the two branches of Christianity at the Synod of Whitby (AD 664).
Now, it is obvious that Rome was the winner over Lindisfarne at the Synod of Whitby. It is also a fact that the missionaries from Rome had had a number of confrontations with British (= Welsh) bishops, where they had attempted to bring them under their authority. These meetings had been highly contentious, and the missionaries from Rome got a name for being arrogant and demanding. But if we were to see these confrontations only in the light of Hunter's Celtic/Roman dichotomy, we would be misled.
For one thing, the British Church (from which Patrick had originally come) got along with neither the Irish nor the Anglo-Saxons. They were more tied to the Gallic Church of Armorica (Brittany) and Aquitania than to the Irish Church, even as the Welsh are more akin to Bretons than to Irish or Scots. And the British Christians detested the Anglo-Saxons, who had displaced them in the previous century and driven them into the western fringe of Britain. The fact that some of them now were embracing Christianity did not impress the British bishops.
So we have to understand that, apart from the behavior and beliefs of individual leaders of the Roman mission to England (about much could be said in either direction), there were other factors at work that helped create the "arrogant" reputation of Rome. The British bishops wanted to be under somebody like the Archbishop of Tours, rather than the Archbishop of Canterbury, in order to avoid having to cooperate with the (converting) Anglo-Saxons. And though they were as Celtic as anybody, the British bishops shared few of the virtues Hunter attributes to Celtic (read, "Irish") Christianity.
What Augustine, Theodore, and the other missionaries from Rome were trying to do was to consolidate effort. Foreigners themselves, they didn't understand why Anglo-Saxons and British wouldn't cooperate; frustrated, they tried to simply force things together, with mixed results. But their failures in this regard should not prejudice us when we look at that most important of meetings, the Synod of Whitby.
At Whitby, two groups of English-speaking Christians freely debated which group had the better way for the kingdom to follow. Some matters, which seem silly to us today (the style of tonsure, for instance) were hotly debated. Other matters, far weightier (the date of Easter), also came up. But in the long run, Oswy had to decide which group represented the future. He chose Rome. Rome represented the future, for Rome represented a wider range of contacts -- both ecclesiastical and political.
Hunter sees the Synod of Whitby as a bad thing: Oswy chose the worse alternative. Ah, what might have been, we must think. He then goes on to allude to Anglo-Saxon missions on the continent, and attributes their remarkable success to their following the Celtic model. But all these things are tied up together.
This leads us to the W-saints, three men from the same time period and same place, all of them Christian leaders and evangelists. All of them were educated in both Roman and Celtic ways. They knew each other and worked together. Unfortunately, they have the confusing names of Wilfrid, Winfrid, and Willibrord.
Wilfrid promoted the Benedictine Rule in England, was one of the deciding voices at Whitby speaking for Rome, and led the conversion of Sussex (the last pagan Anglo-Saxon kingdom). Winfrid (later called Boniface) went to Germany, where he had astounding success in church-planting. He was later martyred in Frisia (Holland). Willibrord is called the "Apostle to the Frisians," but died before Winfrid was killed by them. The Frisians were the closest cultural and linguistic cousins to the Anglo-Saxons.
People confused the W-saints back then (even as we do, today). When Theodore of Tarsus, Archbishop of Canterbury, tried to horn in on the prerogatives of the Archbishop of York, Wilfrid (then Archbishop of York), went to Rome to complain. Theodore and his allies tried to prevent him, but wound up detaining Winfrid (Boniface) on the Continent; their henchmen got confused by the similarity of names, too. Anway, Wilfrid made it to Rome and made his case; he won the argument in the end.
These were all great names in the English Church; all were reformers, monastics, educated men, evangelists. All knew both the Celtic and Roman models of church life intimately. All of them chose Rome over Iona.
Hunter is simply wrong when he assumes that these guys' successes were due to their adopting Celtic methods. Insofar as they would have been aware of differences between Celtic and Roman methodology, they would have chosen the Roman. Where Celtic and Roman used the same methodology, they probably did so because it worked -- and works wherever it is used, by whoever it is used, with whomever it is used. Questions of borrowing from one by the other are tricky to prove, especially when neither group need "borrow" an obvious method at all.
I further think that Hunter (the evangelical Protestant) is confusing Roman church leadership of the second half-millennium (500-1000) with the Roman church leadership of the third half-millennium (1000-1500). The two are as different as night and day. The former was a robust, adaptable, growing body ministering mightily to many peoples and planting churches everywhere. The latter was a politically meddlesome, power-hungry, theologically authoritarian, wracked-by-schism bunch.
Hunter is also guilty of forcing a 21st Century paradigm on the facts of Antiquity. He talks constantly in modern buzzwords, such as "mission teams." At the end of his work, one knows quite a bit about the methods preferred by George Hunter; one is not so sure one knows the methods preferred by Patrick or Columba.
The Celtic Church did amazing and wonderful things. But not every amazing and wonderful thing is thereby Celtic in origin. Nor does it mean that the Celts didn't have a few bees in their bonnets, too (everybody does). In the end, one should not let one's admiration for the achievements of Celtic Christianity life blind one to the equally unique contributions of the Old English Church, to which I now will turn.

Macedonia-Greece name change accord is bittersweet for FDI
Greece and Macedonia have signed an accord that formally ends a decades-long dispute surrounding national heritage, borders and names. While this is positive news for Macedonia's EU accession, and therefore FDI, political tensions have been stoked. Sebastian Shehadi reports.
Ever since Greece's neighbour declared itself the 'Republic of Macedonia' in 1991, following Yugoslavia's collapse, Greece has contended that Macedonia's name choice and actions conveyed irredentism for, and cultural theft of, the Greek province of Macedonia.
Therefore, history was made when the Greek and Macedonian prime ministers met on July 17, 2018, to oversee the signing of the accord that changed Macedonia's name to the 'Republic of North Macedonia'. Macedonia's prime minister, Alexis Tsipras, said: "We are here to heal the wounds of time...the poison of chauvinism and the divisions of nationalist hatred."
Emma Whiteacre, country analyst at political risk insurer Beazley, said that "the accord is important progress towards settling an issue that has been a key impediment to Macedonia's deeper relationships with the EU and western institutions. Ultimately we do expect this to open up access to much greater levels of foreign investment and to support economic reforms, and this promise should help to mobilise public support, despite the current protests."
However, there is a long way to go yet before the situation is finalised. The accord must still pass a referendum in Macedonia and ratification in the parliaments of both countries, which will not be smooth sailing since significant nationalist opposition exists in both Macedonia and Greece.
Indeed, police in Greece used tear gas to disperse protesters at the Greek-Macedonian border on Sunday, and Macedonia's president, Gjorge Ivanov, refused to give his support for the deal.
"There is some concern that Russia might seek to support the nationalists' cause and influence the referendum, to prevent Macedonia moving further into the western sphere of influence," added Ms Whiteacre. "Such uncertainty will remain an obstacle to major investment decisions, and economic gains, until there is greater clarity."
A few weeks before the signing of the accord, Kreshnik Bekteshi, minister of economy for Macedonia, told fDi that: "We are on the European path. Investors will not have any problems because our legislation is mainly harmonised with EU. We have fulfilled all the obligations of Nato but we cannot become a member because Greece has put up a veto," he said.
"We've worked very hard in the last few years to create a good business climate with a specialised young workforce. For example, we give investors a tax break for a period of 10 years, including corporate and personal income tax...Although the average net salary in Macedonia is €400, we are working to specialise our workforce and not just promote it as a [source of] low-cost labour... Besides manufacturing, we are also looking at IT because we have very experienced young people who are doing well in this sector," added Mr Bekteshi.
Over the last 10 years, Macedonia has witnessed decent and steady inflows of greenfield foreign investment. However, 2017 was a disappointing year, with the lowest number of FDI projects since 2007, according to fDi Markets.

The Evil AR-15
Posted by Mr_Fastbucks | Dec 21, 2012 | Featured, For Tribbles, Guns, Politics | 0 |
The news of the Newtown massacre has shaken all Americans.
As details begin to emerge about that day, a perfect storm of mental illness, irresponsible gun storage, and indifference by local authorities is beginning to form. It will take some time to discern which factors contributed the most. But predictably, some have already drawn their own conclusions based on deeply held beliefs.
A lot of dust has been kicked up concerning possible new gun control laws. Much of this has focused on rifles based on the AR-15 platform. Many people do not understand why people want to own a weapon that was originally designed for the U.S. military.
My goal here is to answer these questions so you can have informed conversations.
Unfortunately, many people in the media have no clue what they are talking about vis-à-vis firearms. Bill O'Reilly has frequently referred to AR-style weapons as "heavy weapons".
Piers Morgan has suggested that AR's are easier to purchase than Sudafed. Obviously neither one has been inside a gun store or squeezed a trigger recently.
First, the idea that military-style weapons should not be in citizens' hands is absurd. Americans have been doing this since the Revolutionary War.
In the past 120 years, since the invention of smokeless powder, most of the primary U.S. military service weapons have been wildly popular with civilians.
The Krag-Jorgensens and 1903 Springfields of the early 20th century were frequently sold or converted into "sporterized" models that were easier to field as hunting rifles. The cartridges they fired were manufactured in huge quantities, allowing civilians to purchase them at reasonably low prices. This continued through World War II and it's immediate aftermath.
Eugene Stoner's AR-15 design came along in the 1950's (yes, it's that old). With it came a new cartridge and new ideas about how future conflicts would be waged. The cartridge was based on a popular varmint round, the .223 Remington, and most of the military-chambered versions of the AR-15 can still fire this cartridge.
The weapon was not immediately embraced by the U.S. military. After some highly publicized failures in Vietnam, due mostly to bureaucratic meddling, the weapon was viewed with skepticism by the public.
Because of this suspicion, the rifle was not marketed heavily to civilians. There was no market for a civilianized M-16 when there were still thousands of surplus World War II rifles and their cheap ammunition hitting our shores. German Mausers, Eastern block SKSs and Mosin-Nagants, and American M-1 Garands were available by the crate-load at your local gun store for a song.
Two things contributed to the increased popularity of the AR-15.
The first was conflict. After Vietnam there was Panama, then Grenada, then Desert Storm. American ammunition manufacturers slowly began increasing their output of the new 5.56mm cartridge used by the AR-15 and decreasing the output of the older .30-06 cartridge, later replaced entirely by the 7.62mm NATO round. Stockpiles of the new ammunition grew. In times of peace this ammunition was made available to the public and a significant discount.
A-Team's "Howling Mad" Murdock ( Dwight Schultz) & "Hannibal" Smith (George Peppard)
Sturm, Ruger, and Company took advantage of this opportunity and created a firearm that used the reliable action of the old World War II rifles and chambered it for the new 5.56 cartridge. The Mini-14 was born and it was very successful.
Watch some old episodes of the A-Team from the 1980's and you'll see Hannibal Smith and his crew frequently running around with Mini-14's. But the Mini-14 was not a cheap rifle to produce and although it is still sold today, it's popularity has waned.
This leads us to the second contributing factor: modern CNC manufacturing.
Today, anyone with $250,000 to invest and a warehouse can begin cranking out AR-15 parts in relatively short order. Eugene Stoner's design was much simpler than it's predecessors. The rifle had no wood, lots of plastic and aluminum, and comparatively few steel parts.
Once modern computer-controlled milling machines became available, AR-15 rifle parts could be manufactured in greater numbers and with increased precision than ever before. Stories of highly-accurate and reliable AR-15's began to emerge.
The public took notice during the 1990's and began purchasing AR-15 variants in increasing quantities. There was a long-held belief that to achieve reliable long-range accuracy from a rifle, you had to use a bolt-action, non-semi-automatic rifle.
Now, AR-style rifles were becoming just as accurate all the way out to the ballistic limits of the cartridges they fired. This opened up the hunting market to the AR during the first decade of the 21st century.
AR-15 STRIPPED LOWER RECEIVER
Now AR-style rifles are available in more calibers and configurations than ever before, at lower prices than their predecessors.
Because of the precision provided by modern manufacturing methods, rifles can be assembled using parts from dozens of different manufacturers and the results can be the same as if you had purchased a fully-assembled rifle from a single company. This has led to the phenomenon of the "stripped lower".
Walk into the AR section of any gun store and there, behind a counter you will see a stack of small boxes that contain a single hunk of machined aluminum. These are referred to by AR enthusiasts as "stripped lower receivers".
These hunks of metal are sold they way they are because this is the part of an AR firearm that is registered to local and federal authorities.
AR-15 Builder www.ar15builder.com
Everything that attaches to this hunk of aluminum becomes, in a sense, an accessory. Why do people buy these? For the same reason they put 20″ rims on their Camrys and bedazzled cases on their iPhones.
Consumers want the freedom to create a product customized to their exact specifications without having to spend a fortune in the process. Why purchase a fully-assembled rifle if you're just going to discard half of the parts on it? The AR-15 has become the firearm version of a Lego toy.
So when people tell you they want to ban AR-15 rifles, you should answer by asking "Which ones?". Any such ban will simply result in the market shifting to the variants that are not banned.
And just like the last time we banned so-called "assault weapons", it will have no affect on crime.

The Kingsley School joins forces with Warwick Independent Schools Foundation
The Warwick Independent Schools Foundation and The Kingsley School in Leamington Spa are to enter into a new partnership which will see the 310-pupil school take its place under the Foundation's umbrella, alongside Warwick Preparatory School, Warwick Junior School, King's High School, and Warwick School.
Principal of The Warwick Independent Schools Foundation, Richard Nicholson, said: "Our schools already know each other well, and there are families with children at Kingsley and the current Foundation Schools. By welcoming The Kingsley School into the Warwick Foundation family of schools, we are extending our embrace to a friend and neighbour, further fulfilling our charitable aim to advance education in the local area. We believe Kingsley's rich history, distinctive ethos and strong culture play a key role in the diversity of outstanding independent schools in the Midlands.''
"This is a merger of the charities which run our schools, rather than the schools themselves. As with our current schools, Kingsley will retain its unique character and ethos. It is this difference, after all, that serves to enrich the range of choice we are able to provide locally."
Making the announcement today to the Kingsley community Maureen Hicks, Chair of The Kingsley School said: ''It will be business as usual for Kingsley on our site in Beauchamp Avenue, with our own Head, leadership team and staff and our pupils in their distinctive Kingsley uniform, still at the heart of Leamington Spa, ambassadors for the first class education and pastoral care for which we are so highly regarded.''


New York City real estate developers will always knock down a building if a buck can be made. So it really should come as no surprise that these buildings were demolished because they outlived their usefulness or more often than not, the land they sat upon was deemed more valuable than the building itself.
Nathan Silver's must-own book, Lost New York (1967) Houghton Mifflin, was the first book to explicitly point out what New York City had lost architecturally over the years. If you have never read it, you should.

Q: How to get Auto Generated ID after Insert in Android RoomDB App I am building an Android application with MVVM Architecture.  Table A has an Auto-Generated Primary Key column which is a Foreign Key into Table B.  When the user clicks a button on the main fragment a row is inserted into Table A.  As part of this button's onClickListener, I'd like to retrieve the Auto-Generated Primary Key value (rowId) after creation and insert it into a column in Table B along with more data.
I am using MVVM Architecture, Coroutines, etc... but cannot figure out how to do this.  Below is some code and I'm happy to post more if anyone can help.
**// DAO Code**
@Dao
interface WLDAO {

@Insert(onConflict = OnConflictStrategy.REPLACE)
suspend fun insertTableA(tableAEntry: TableAEntry) : Long

**// Repo Code (function only)**
suspend fun insertTableA(tableAEntry: TableAEntry): Long {
    return WLDAO.insertTableA(TableAEntry)
}

**// View Model Code (function only)**
fun addToTableA(tableAEntry: TableAEntry) = viewModelScope.launch {
     repo.insertTableA(TableAEntry)
}

A:
I'd like to retrieve the Auto-Generated Primary Key value (rowId) after creation and insert it into a column in Table B along with more data.

The Long returned by your Room DAO's @Insert function is the row ID associated with that INSERT operation.
For using that value in further data operations, handle that in your repository or viewmodel. For example, your repository could have something like:
suspend fun doStuffWithBothTables(tableAEntry: TableAEntry, stuffForTableB: Whatever): Long {
    val rowID = WLDAO.insertTableA(TableAEntry)

    // TODO use rowID and stuffForTableB for some other DAO operations
}

Since doStuffWithBothTables() is itself a suspend fun, you can call other suspend functions normally, as if there were no threads or anything involved. So doStuffWithBothTables() can get the row ID from the first insert and then do additional work with that result.

LOS ANGELES: US pop singer Demi Lovato, who has spoken openly about her history of drug and alcohol abuse, is awake after she was taken to a Los Angeles hospital on Tuesday suffering from a suspected overdose, according to media reports.
Lovato, 25, a Grammy-nominated recording artist, was "okay and stable, reported People magazine, quoting an unidentified source.
"Demi is awake and with her family who want to express thanks to everyone for the love, prayers, and support," Lovato's representative told entertainment magazine Variety in a statement.
Representatives for Lovato did not respond to a request for comment.
Entertainment news website TMZ, quoting law enforcement sources, reported that Lovato was found unconscious at her home and was treated with Narcan, an emergency antidote for suspected opioid and drug overdoses.
Los Angeles police said they had responded to a medical emergency on Tuesday involving a woman on the Hollywood Hills street where Lovato reportedly has a home but declined to identify the person.
City fire department spokeswoman Margaret Stewart said a 25-year-old woman was transported to a local hospital from that location.
In a 2017 YouTube documentary, "Simply Complicated," Lovato spoke about years of substance abuse, eating disorders, and drinking, saying she first started using cocaine when she was 17.
She entered rehab at the age of 18, where she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
Lovato, who has some 69 million followers on Instagram, was in the midst of a U.S. tour and was due to perform in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on Thursday.
Her hospitalization became the top trending item on Twitter on Tuesday, with fans and celebrities expressing concern and support.

PAPYRUS – shattering stigma, saving lives
by Salutions HQ | Nov 22, 2019 | General | 0 comments
Suicide doesn't discriminate. There is no 'typical' profile of a lost life. Each death reverberates, leaving loved ones' lives and whole communities changed forever.
Change is imperative and is being driven by national charity PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide.
Tireless campaigning for change
PAPYRUS (Parents' Association for the Prevention of Young Suicide) was founded 22 years ago by Jean Kerr, a Lancashire mother who lost her son to suicide. Today, the charity works tirelessly to reduce the number of young people dying by suicide by shattering the stigma that surrounds it and creating a cross-country network of communities that have the suicide awareness and skills to take positive action.
"Research shows that with appropriate early intervention and support, many young suicides can be prevented," says Hazel Russell, Papyrus's Head of Fundraising. "Suicidal people are often too afraid to share their feelings. Too often people are scared they'll say the wrong thing to a suicidal person. It is eradicating both the stigma and fear that shapes PAPYRUS's work."
Supporting young people, educating communities
HOPELINEUK (0800 068 4141) is the charity's dedicated helpline – manned by fully trained staff providing confidential support and advice to young people or anyone worried about a young person.
PAPYRUS also engages communities and volunteers in suicide prevention projects and delivering training programmes to individuals and groups – arming everyone from local councils and healthcare professionals to school staff with suicide prevention skills.
"Yes, we are a young person's charity," explains Hazel, "and we have taken massive steps in encouraging young people to talk about their feelings, but removing stigma is just as important. There is no point is a young person confiding in someone if that person doesn't know what to say or how to respond. We are here to educate everyone, because everyone has a duty of care to look after our young people and keep them safe."
Additionally, the charity is a long-standing member of the government advisory groups in England and Wales on suicide prevention matters, helping shape national social policy and make a significant contribution to the local and regional implementation of national suicide prevention strategies.
Hard-hitting campaigns
To highlight their mission, PAPYRUS creates brave, sometimes shocking, campaigns which, once witnessed, are impossible to forget.
Earlier this year, the charity paved the steps of St George's Plateau in Liverpool with 226 pairs of shoes – each pair representing a child lost to suicide in 2017.
"There were no banners, no announcements… just the shoes," remembers Hazel of the stop-you-in-your-tracks Lost Childhoods campaign, "An older lady came up to us and said, 'they shouldn't be there!' We paused. She continued, 'they shouldn't be there, they should be running up and down those steps'… It was incredibly poignant, as was the moment a young girl came to look at the shoes, she was wearing one of our wristbands. She explained how her nan had given her it after she'd suffered with mental health issues, she'd told her granddaughter that it would 'keep her safe'. The wristband had our helpline number on it."
Another 2018 campaign, entitled Bedtime Stories, focussed on cyber bullying. It included a short film showing a mother reading to her young daughter at bedtime. But this is no tale of castles and happy ever afters but social media taunts that leave you speechless.
"40% of the calls we receive from children and young people aged 11-18 involve issues around online bullying," says Hazel. "For many, it can seem like there is no escape, that the bullying will never stop or go away, and that everyone would be 'better off' without them."
Widespread support
PAPYRUS doesn't receive any government funding and relies on generous donations from its many supporters. From people who donate a couple of pounds out of their benefits, to big-name corporate sponsorship – the support elsewhere for PAPYRUS is reassuringly strong, and each of these donations valued equally.
In September, to mark World Suicide Prevention Day, PAPYRUS took part in a BBC Radio 4 Charity Appeal. Andy Airey, a supporter bereaved by suicide, went on air to share his daughter Sophie's story. The appeal so far has raised nearly £10,000.
Miss England 2018/19, Alisha Cowie, is now an official Ambassador for the charity, having herself having lost a friend to suicide and been the victim of bullying. Together with other finalists in the competition, she raised over £20k for PAPYRUS.
"You look at Alicia and think, she's beautiful, what worries could she have?" says Hazel, "but that's exactly our point. That's exactly how people shouldn't think. Nobody is immune to bullying, isolation and suicidal thoughts. We just need more people like her to stand up and speak out."
Throughout 2018/19, PAPYRUS has delivered training across the UK to create over 500 life-assisting caregivers and equipped young people and their communities with the tools they need to stay safe from suicide. During this same period, and compared with 2017/18, there has been an 80% increase in calls to HOPELINEUK.
Whilst Hazel is delighted with this positive change, she says there is still so much work to do:
"The official suicide statistics released this month show that the rate of suicide is increasing, and we need to act. We must remember that suicide was only decriminalised in 1961 and, unfortunately, that stigma around a suicide verdict still exists. People still find it so hard to talk about."
Support PAPYRUS
People can attend a training course (including a FREE 30-minute session), volunteer, host a talk/fundraising event.
No matter how you decide to get involved, every second you spend, every £1 you raise, matters.
"Seriously," says Hazel, "a fiver can save a life. It really can."

Remembering Diana
Prince Harry Talks "Gaping Hole" Left in His Life After Princess Diana's Death
By Will Mendelson
Prince Harry discussed Princess Diana's death Samir Hussein/WireImage.com
Prince Harry got very personal on Thursday, Nov. 26, when he discussed the devastating death of his mother, Princess Diana, and how it left him with a "gaping hole."
"I knew there would always be a gaping hole that could never be filled," the royal, 31, remarked as he opened the Mamohato Children's Centre in Lesotho, Africa.
Queen Elizabeth's family
Harry — who was age 12 when Princess Diana died in a Paris car crash in 1997 at age 36 — discussed how losing his mother at an early age enabled him to sympathize with the orphaned children.

"The children at the center were far younger than me, and of course, their situation was a great deal more challenging than my own," Prince William's younger brother said. "Nonetheless, we shared a similar feeling of loss, having a loved one — in my case a parent — snatched away so suddenly."
The Duke and Duchess
The orphanage — built by Harry's charity, Sentebale — has a dining hall that's named after Princess Di, and will support children who have lost parents to AIDS. The late princess did much to reduce the early stigma surrounding HIV and AIDS when she was alive.

Back in October, Harry shared that his late mother inspired his love for charity work.
"It's equally important, if not more so, to do the stuff behind the scenes," he said of his royal duties. "It's something that our mother did a lot. And that's the time you really get to learn. You get the experiences and you actually get the honest truth out of people."

I am writing to thank you for coming to the Meadow Highland Games in Richmond Virginia today. My son, Aidan, took third prize in the children's throwing contest - and he had never thrown an axe before. What made this particularly special is that today was the first time he's been well enough to have fun outside of our home in about four months. He has been battling a serious illness this year that made him unable to attend school, play soccer and play outside with his friends. Luckily it turned out to be non life-threatening . . . but it definitely took its toll on his spirits. Today he was able to forget all of that, thanks to your competition. What a fun thing for children to try at the games! I almost cried to see the joy and pride on his face! So thanks again! He's already planning to practice for next year.
I wanted to send you a quick email and let you know how much my family and I enjoyed your axe throwing demonstrations and competition last weekend. It was obvious from the large turnout that many others felt the same way we did! You folks put together a well run and organized setup, enabling participants to practice and ultimately compete if they chose to do so. We enjoyed the costumes and attitudes of those working your event, and my entire family agreed that the Flying Hawkes Axe Throwing event/booth was the best part of the whole NE Florida Scottish Games (though the turkey legs were good too!).
Both my children and my neighbor's daughter were in the competition, but weren't fortunate to land an axe. I'm excited to say that I was able to land my axe twice and win the men's competition . . . what a highlight to a great event!
Again, wonderful effort this weekend….keep up the great work and spreading the fun of axe throwing!

TECENTRIQ, in combination with paclitaxel protein-bound, is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) whose tumors express PD-L1 (PD-L1–stained tumor-infiltrating immune cells [IC] of any intensity covering ≥1% of the tumor area), as determined by an FDA-approved test.
This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on progression-free survival. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).
In clinical studies of TECENTRIQ as a single agent, or were reported in other products in this class, cardiac, dermatologic, gastrointestinal, general, hematological, musculoskeletal, neurological, ophthalmological, renal, and vascular immune-mediated adverse reactions occurred at an incidence of <1%
The most common adverse reactions (rate ≥20%) in patients who received TECENTRIQ with paclitaxel protein-bound for mTNBC were alopecia (56%), peripheral neuropathies (47%), fatigue (47%), nausea (46%), diarrhea (33%), anemia (28%), constipation (25%), cough (25%), headache (23%), neutropenia (21%), vomiting (20%), and decreased appetite (20%).

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is amending the brucellosis regulations concerning the interstate movement of swine by adding Texas to the list of validated brucellosis-free states.
In the May 19 Federal Register, APHIS said it has determined that Texas meets the criteria for becoming a validated brucellosis-free state, and this action relieves certain restrictions on the interstate movement of breeding swine from Texas.
Texas is the final state to achieve the validated brucellosis-free status for swine brucellosis.

If trying elevated the worth of a visual object, we might face an interesting paradox. In perhaps nearly all of cases, accumulating more seems does not improve the market value – the realisable value – of a visual object. One want only consider the immense proliferation of visible items on the internet whose marketable worth does not enhance as a result of exposure (memes, for instance). And so, just as a visual object is accumulating increasingly value (as socially-necessary looking-time), it's becoming much less and fewer attainable for this value to be realised. This would be grounds for the economy of visuality to grind to a halt, not for it to grow to be the idea of a brand new, spectacular mode of manufacturing.

If you want to lower your interest rate, we may be able to help you find a loan that meets your needs and lowers the amount you pay in interest over the life of your loan.
You may be able to refinance your home loan to lower your monthly payments. Debt consolidation may simplify your finances by combining higher interest credit card payments into one convenient payment and potentially saving you money on monthly interest payments.
Finance a major purchase with a cash-out refinance. This option is popular with customers who have built equity* in their homes. This may provide the option to borrow against their home's available equity to pay for other expenses. For example, if you'd like to add a garage, swimming pool, or additional rooms, a cash-out refinance can fund a project that can make your home more comfortable.
Education - A cash-out refinance could help pay for school or college tuition for your children or yourself.
Remodel - The proceeds from a cash-out refinance could help you update one or more rooms in your home, such as the kitchen or bathroom.
Purchase - You may choose what to finance with the proceeds. For example, if your family needs a new car, you could use the funds from your refinance to purchase one.
*Equity is the amount repaid on a mortgage, adjusted for any rise or fall in the home's value, and with any additional liens subtracted.
Refinancing can be an effective way to lower monthly payments.
Everyone's situation is different. Take a look at yours and determine your reasons for wanting to refinance. Do you want to lower your interest rate? Want to switch from an adjustable rate mortgage to a fixed rate mortgage? How about cashing out some of your equity to remodel, fund tuition bills or a long awaited vacation? Or you could want to combine your two mortgages into one. While everyone's reasons are different Bridgeway Financial is here to help you.
Mortgage interest rates change often. Chances are they are different from when you first purchased your home. If your rate is higher than what is currently on the market, it probably makes sense to refinance. Why pay more than you have to?
Can I still refinance if I have a second mortgage on my home?
While fees vary from lender to lender there are standard fees that are typical. Third party fees such as credit report, escrow, notary, title and recording fees are amongst them. Appraisal fee and lender fees, such as those in processing and underwriting, are also incurred. If you decide you would like to pay points to lower your rate further, the cost of each point you pay equals 1% of your new loan amount. Outside of the closing fees, there are also prorated pre-paid costs for items such as property taxes, interest and homeowners insurance. All fees and prepaid items can be added to your new loan if you have enough equity in your home.
A refinance loan requires similar documentation that you provided in your first mortgage loan. Your mortgage advisor will request information regarding your income such as paystubs for the most recent 30 days, W-2's and tax returns for the previous 2 years, bank or mutual fund/stock statements for the last 60 days. You will also be asked to provide your most recent mortgage statement and homeowners insurance declarations page. Upon the underwriter review you may be required to provide additional items.
It is possible to refinance with imperfect credit. It all depends on the reasons why your credit is currently imperfect. There are some great loan options available. Call one of our expert mortgage advisors to determine whether or not you qualify for one of our programs.
When it comes to refinancing there is no magic number. There are so many reasons to refinance and everyone's situation is different. You may be in an adjustable rate mortgage and want to convert to a fixed rate mortgage. If this is the case, you may find that your payment might increase but you will be in a better situation for the long term because you have the peace of mind knowing your payment is not going to increase over the life of your loan. There are also no-cost* and low-cost refinance options that may lower your payment and/or rate with either minimal or no investment. The best idea is to speak to one of our expert mortgage advisors and review your situation with them. From there, you can find out if a refinance makes sense for you.
A cash-out refinance puts your home's equity to work for you. You can use it to pay for college tuition, make home improvements which can in turn increase your home's value, pay off credit card debt, or purchase a second home. A cash-out refinance completely pays off your first mortgage and allows you to borrow a set amount of money from the equity you have remaining in your home.
There are state regulations that limit how soon or how often a homeowner is allowed to refinance. Your mortgage advisor can give you the information on the specific regulations in your state. The most important consideration in a refinance is to determine if it meets your financial goals. A couple of things to consider are: Will your interest rate be lower than it currently is? How much equity is in your home? Is there a pre-payment penalty on your current mortgage? How long would you like to stay in your current home?
If you are able to provide all the required documentation that is needed in a timely manner, we should be able to close your refinance loan in a little over 30 days.
It varies from state-to-state. Depending on where your property is located, it may be necessary for you to go to a designated settlement location such as an escrow office or attorney's office. Some states allow for you to sign in the comfort of your own home. While in the presence of a signing authority, you will review and sign all your loan documents. If you decided to finance the closing fees and other applicable closing funds in your new loan then the process is complete.* If not, then you will need to present a certified or cashier's check to pay the closing fees and other applicable closing funds. It's that simple. Refinance made easy.

Ilhan Omar Believes Biden is Guilty. But She'll Still Vote For Him.
By shawn	 Last updated May 26, 2020
At this point in Rep. Ilhan Omar's short time in the national spotlight, we would not be surprised by anything she says. After she dismissed the 9/11 attacks as "something some people did," our capacity to be shocked by her callous anti-Americanism dried up overnight. She has proven herself to be one of the most wretched creatures to ever inhabit the Capitol, and you can imagine the kind of ground that covers.
So it was with little more than a soft grunt and a shake of the head that we read Omar's take on Joe Biden and the sexual assault allegations against him. Asked by the UK's Sunday Times (in the same interview that she declared herself "America's hope") about Tara Reade's accusations, Omar acknowledged that she believed Biden's former staffer.
"I do believe Reade," she said. "Justice can be delayed, but should never be denied."
This rankled Democrats on Twitter, who are worried that the latest #MeToo scandal will wind up hurting the bottom line.
"Ms. Omar, I am not an admirer," said one user. "We don't think -we know- that MAGA and Russia are working to defeat a moderate Dem. I found the comments irresponsible. You should've said: 'I don't know If Tara Reade is telling the truth and of course, as a surrogate of Bernie's, I didn't want Biden.'"
Omar replied: "Believing survivors is consistent with my values. Yes, I endorsed against Biden and I didn't pick him as our nominee. With that said, in this interview I did on May 6th, we talked about that and quotes aren't always in context. I will vote for him and help him defeat Trump."
It's pretty damn interesting that Omar was worried about her quotes being taken out of context – not because they suggested that she would support someone she believes to be a sexual abuser, but because they suggested she wouldn't! Glad you cleared that up, Ilhan. We thought for a half-second that you might actually have a thimbleful of integrity. Thanks for putting those illusions to bed.
We don't know if Tara Reade is telling the truth or not, but in many ways, her honesty is beside the point. The point has become whether or not feminists and Democrats have the courage of their convictions. It's easy to throw someone under the bus when you already hated them for their ideology; it's a real test of your character to hold your allies to the same standards. 99% of leftist politicians and pundits have failed that test.

Two German researchers managed to get their hands on so-called anonymous browsing habits of more than 3 million German residents and dig up their personal data from the acquired information.
The worst thing is that they didn't even get it in an illegal way, from a hacker for example, but legitimately bought it.
Svea Eckert who is a journalist and Andreas Dewes, a data scientist, presented their findings from the experiment at Def Con hacking conference in Las Vegas. They acquired a database containing 3bn URLs from three million German users, spread over 9m different sites.
The pair decided to create a fake marketing company and everything that a company would want to have, like a website, a LinkedIn page for the chief executive and such. They then advertised themselves as a company that developed an algorithm that would help market more effectively to masses, but they needed a large amount of data to make it work.
Eckert said that they had to contact a lot of companies and ask for people's clickstream. It took them longer than expected to acquire the data, but they believe it had to do with the fact they wanted data of German citizens only. The companies often offered them data on Uk or US users.
A data broker had eventually given them the data for free, eager to help them test their algorithm. And while they got an anonymous set of data, the duo easily managed to discover the identity of many users.
There were some that were easier to discover and some that were harder. The easy way was to check if the person providing the data have visited their own analytics page on Twitter because doing that leaves a URL in their browsing record that reveals their Twitter username and it is only visible to the said user. All you need to do is find the URL and you can connect the data to a person. The same method was used for German social networking site Xing.
The harder names to discover required the duo to explore their so-called virtual fingerprint, which required as little as 10 URLs that people have visited in order for them to be identified. The similar strategy was used back in 2008 when a set of rating published by Netflix was compared to the ratings on IMDB, revealing the people behind Netflix accounts which in the end resulted in a closeted lesbian suing Netflix for the privacy violation.
Google translate is another way to find data on people because the site stores the text typed into the site in the URL. This way, researchers managed to discover operational details in a German cybercrime investigation, all due to one of the investigators on the said crime used the site to translate requests for foreign police forces.

Throughout my adult life I have adamently been opposed to coloring my hair. When I was very young, I wasn't "allowed" to get my hair colored, even though I wasn't satisfied with it's mousy brown look.
By the time I was old enough to do whatever I wanted with my hair, I was no longer interested. Brown, yes. Mousy, no. It had natural red and blond highlights. I liked it.
Tonight, I have an appointment for my hair.
Tonight, I'll be getting some sort of coloring done to it, just as I did (for the first time in my life) last May.
Why? Because I can't deal with my hair getting old faster than I am! Okay, maybe it's not that bad, but I'll not be able to count the grays to tell you how many there are. Before my first adventure to coloring, I could easily count 10-20...that I could see without using a second mirror. I have no idea how many were in the back being noticed by others. And no, I couldn't deal. I can't deal. I still associate gray hair with "old" people. I still feel like I'm in my twenties rather than someone who has passed their 20 year high school reunion mark. Hell, I can't be gray-haired if my mom isn't gray-haired, right?!
Perhaps someday I'll be ready to see the gray signs of age when I look in the mirror, but not yet. How about you?


I am looking closer at the Top 10 Reasons Why Most Prospecting Programs Don't Work and What You Can Do About It.
#1 was using the same prospecting process for all your prospects.
Today we come to #2: Having TOO many prospects in your pipeline.
This tip rubs a lot of people the wrong way, especially managers, but I'm a firm believer in it. I will have more success if I have fewer prospects whom I can really focus on rather than a bunch of names I don't have time to deal with.
To get to this point it means you must have a prospecting process that allows you to qualify quickly whether or not the prospect is really a prospect or if they're nothing but a suspect.
Way too much time is spent by salespeople chasing suspects. Many times the suspects are nice people — they will engage you, the salesperson, so you think they must be a potential customer. You should never forget the first objective of prospecting is to qualify the prospect.
The most valuable asset you have is your time. It's not what you sell or the service you provide; it's your time. If you waste 25% of your prospecting time with suspects, then you've lost 25% of your prospeting time you could be spending making money.
Have they told you when they are going to make a decision? Nothing worse than spending time with someone who is not going to buy for a couple of years.
Are you sure you're dealing with the decision maker? Nothing will waste more time than having to sell it twice, because the first time it wasn't the decision maker.
Have they given you some proprietary information? People aren't going to share with you proprietary information unless they have confidence in you and are interested in doing business with you.
Do you know what their process is for making a decision? This question encompasses the previous 3 questions, but it challenges you to understand what other issues you could be dealing with.
Your objective is to spend more time with fewer prospects who will in turn give you the highest potential to close a sale.
