A humanist perspective on the "Common Ground" conference
November 28, 2013 by Guest author
"Common Ground: A Conversation Between Religious Believers and Humanists on Values and Ethics" was a conference in Glasgow in November co-sponsored by the UK and US Provinces of the (Catholic) Xaverian Missionaries. Speakers included Chris Stedman, author of Faitheist – How an Atheist Found Common Ground with the Religious and Assistant Humanist Chaplain at Harvard University. Jeremy Rodell is Chair of South West London Humanists and was one of seven delegates from the BHA and the Humanist Society of Scotland. They also included Rory Fenton, AHS President and the BHA's Dialogue Officer.
Here's Jeremy's input to the "Common Ground" conference blog.
The "Common Ground" conference: a humanist perspective
As a humanist living in London, it was a bit of a surprise to get an email from the British Humanist Association asking if I would like to attend a conference in Scotland organised by Catholic missionaries. I'm glad I said "yes".
This was a bold initiative by the Xavierian Missionaries to find "Common Ground" across one of the most important fault-lines of western society, especially here in the UK. I did not need convincing of the value interfaith dialogue involving humanists – I was already involved in it. But I left the conference convinced both that more could be done and that what we're doing today could be done better.
The conference itself was, of course, an example of dialogue in action. I had never met a missionary before and, if I'd thought about it at all, would probably have come up with the caricature of a Bible-bashing neo-colonialist. What I found were thoughtful people who had made major practical contributions to the lives of people in the countries where they'd lived – in one case helping to end a devastating civil war. That doesn't make me more comfortable about Christian proselytization, but it certainly provides a more nuanced perspective. Equally, I don't think many of the religious people present had met a humanist before. There were a lot of fascinating and enlightening conversations.
My main "takeaway" was that, at its core, this is all about human relationships. If people from different backgrounds know each other and have listened carefully enough to understand where the other person is coming from – and perhaps have worked together for a common cause – then it becomes almost impossible to demonise "The Other". That doesn't mean they will agree on everything. What Chris Stedman referred to as "Kumbaya" interfaith, where everyone loves one another and genuine differences are suppressed, has limited potential. But we were able to demonstrate at the end of the conference that, once trust has been established, it is possible to articulate conflicting views on controversial issues while maintaining mutual respect.
Chris Stedman, author of Faitheist, who spoke at the event.
However, we shouldn't be naïve. There are people within almost all religion and belief communities who have no interest in dialogue – they know they're right and at best want either to isolate themselves, or to argue, and at worst to impose their views by force. They're just not interested in listening and understanding people they consider to be "the enemy". On the other hand, there are people in these same communities who understand that we live in a plural world in which mutual understanding is essential for peace, and where it is often possible to find common ground with those with whom we disagree. We learned from Chris Stedman that Eboo Patel, the US-based founder of the Inter Faith Youth Corps, refers to the divide between these two types of people as the "Faith Line".
Those who organise and turn up to a conference on dialogue between believers and the non-religious are, by definition, on the liberal side of the Faith Line. But the fact that we don't directly reach the hard liners doesn't invalidate the exercise. They can only be reached, or perhaps faced down, by more open-minded people from their own belief backgrounds – people on "our side" of the line. It is by dialogue that we can all become better informed and feel better supported in advocating the interfaith approach within our own communities.
So what does that mean in practice?
Firstly, we need to get past some of the issues of language. Humanists don't really like the term "interfaith", or "interfaith dialogue", which sound excluding, as Humanism isn't a faith. But we need a term for dialogue between people with differing religious and non-religious beliefs, and "interfaith" is very widely used. Humanists should not be afraid to use it too. But we need the help of religious people to ensure that it's understood to cover "faith and belief" not just religion.
More significantly, the conference demonstrated a misunderstanding over the meaning of "secularism". I understand it to mean a level playing field, in which people are free to follow their religious and non-religious beliefs and practices – provided they do not erode the freedom and rights of others – with no particular group or organisation having privileges over others. In a secular society, freedom of religion and belief is protected. Like most humanists, I think that's a good idea. Unfortunately, too often the term has been used to mean "anti-religious", not helped by the fact that there are some atheists who, as well as advocating secularism, would also like to see the end of religion. The result was that many of our religious colleagues at the conference thought that, when humanists say we want a secular society, we mean one in which there is no religion. It was something of an "ah-ha" moment when everyone realised that was not the case.
Secondly, "doing interfaith" needs to be more than sitting on a committee, useful though that may be. It needs to involve more people from different backgrounds getting to know each other, maybe in informal settings, through social media or – ideally – through shared community activity. That doesn't necessarily mean creating a new organisation or activity, but rather finding something that is fun, stimulating and has a doable objective.
At the risk of gender stereotyping, it's useful to be aware that men and women may come at interfaith, and especially the involvement of the non-religious, from different angles. Callum Brown's academic analysis suggests that changes in women's lives have been the main driver of the significant move away from religion in the UK since the 1960s. But he says that arguments about science and rationality have not played the key role here – "community" factors have been much more important. The implication for interfaith work is that the more cerebral type of interfaith dialogue about ideas may, on average, be more appealing to men than women, who may be more attracted by practical community activity. Both have a role to play.
Coming from the south of England, it was interesting to find that Scotland – which is probably less religiously diverse than London – seems to be way ahead in terms of official recognition of the importance of interfaith dialogue and inclusion of the non-religious, as well as providing practical help on how to make it work. "Belief in Dialogue" is an official publication by The Scottish Government providing a "good practice guide to religion and belief relations in Scotland". Its introduction is written by Sister Isabel Smyth, Chair of the Scottish Working Group on Religion and Belief Relations, who was among the conference attendees. In it she links the need for dialogue back to the values of wisdom, justice, integrity and compassion which we saw inscribed on the Scottish Mace when the conference visited the Parliament in Edinburgh. These are shared human values – no humanist would disagree with them.
"Belief in Dialogue" is clear about the involvement of the non-religious: "The need to recognise the equal legitimacy of every community to exist in Scotland is enshrined as a human right, and by this we need to think about community in the broadest sense of the word. While most religious communities have established formal structures, non-religious communities and groups have considerably fewer formal structures but still need to be seen as communities in the sense that those who advocate such beliefs are bound by the beliefs they share." It goes on to provide practical ways of building interfaith relationships which anyone can use. You can download it free from The Scottish Government website.
The rest of us would do well to steal its thinking.
Jeremy Rodell is Chair of South West London Humanists, the humanist representative on two local interfaith forums, and a humanist speaker for 3FF, an interfaith charity which provides panels of speakers from different religion and belief backgrounds to schools in London and elsewhere. He's currently co-chairing a local dialogue between humanists and Catholics in Twickenham, following a major dispute about a new Catholic 'faith' school with exclusive admissions.

Doctor Who: fifty years of Humanism
Celebrating 50 years of Humanism: Matt Smith, David Tennant and guest star John Hurt, all playing the Doctor.
Tonight is the airing of a Doctor Who special, The Day of the Doctor. Fans are celebrating the show's fiftieth anniversary, and as well as lighting up TV screens around the world, the special is showing in cinemas around the UK in 3D.
It's worth celebrating the show from another perspective, however. It's one of the most humanist television shows of all time. In fact, at practically every turn up to now it has presented the philosophy of its title character, the Doctor, as an emphatically humanist one. If there's one thing the Doctor values, it's human life, and if there's one thing he consistently stands in awe of, it's human potential. He abhors superstition; he scorns pointless prejudices; he believes fervently in reason; he is sympathetic to the beliefs of others, but will not kowtow to them when a fundamental liberty is under threat.
The show began in 1963 as a children's program with an educational mandate. A mysterious old miser known as the Doctor, played by William Hartnell, would take his granddaughter and her two schoolteachers back in time to visit the Earth's history, as well as into the future and into outer space, using speculative fiction as a means to explore philosophical questions and scientific ideas.
Its second story, The Daleks, was a parable about the evils of Nazism. It gave birth to rich science fiction concepts which took the show into a bold new direction, and would go on to test better with audiences than the historical format of later serials such as The Aztecs. The Daleks produced a strong template for the show's future, in which it would continue to delve into history, but never again lose the science fiction backdrop which led it to discuss bold themes and big ideas.
The Doctor is one of pop culture's most popular atheists. Famous atheists on TV tend to play into negative stereotypes. They are either the curmudgeonly, misanthropic intellectual (Dr. Gregory House on House, Dr. Perry Cox on Scrubs) or the sanctimonious liberal douche (Brian Griffin on Family Guy, Kurt Hummel on Glee). But the Doctor, by contrast, has evolved into a life-affirming, swashbuckling hero who is adored by children everywhere.
To maintain the show's longevity, it introduced the plot device where if the Doctor is fatally injured, his alien physiology can "regenerate," creating a new body with new personality quirks and a different face. The mantle of the Doctor has been passed on officially to a dozen or so actors in the show's history, with many other actors playing alternative versions or unofficial Doctors over the last half-century. Like no other character on TV, over fifty years we have seen his many sides. He has been a narcissist, a boor, a clown, a grump, a convincing portrayal of a bipolar person (David Tennant, I'm looking at you) and a wide-eyed dreamer. Whatever his face however, the Doctor always believes in the values of the Enlightenment.
The show has some great pedigree with British Humanism as a movement, as well. Douglas Adams, the legendary writer and ardent humanist, was one of the show's most influential scriptwriters. It was he who introduced the show's former leading lady, Lalla Ward, to scientist and BHA Vice-President Richard Dawkins at a party in 1992, with BHA Distinguished Supporter Stephen Fry looking on. The pair would later marry. Professor Dawkins would himself become one of the show's many scientist cameos, which have included Distinguished Supporter Professor Brian Cox.
The programme's showrunners have also tended to be socially conscious atheists. When the show was brought back from cancellation in 2005, Russell T Davies didn't shy away from expressing his opinion of religion. The second episode after its revival features the joke that "weapons, teleportation and religion" are banned aboard a fictional satellite. For its season finale that same year, Davies clearly asked himself what could make a Dalek scarier, given that they were already pitiless aliens bent on racial purity. His answer made terrifyingly good sense: religion.
Steven Moffat has taken this theme further. All delivered in absurdist good humour, he shows that in the distant future, 'the Church' has become a military institution which patrols the galaxy. It is an organisation of superstitious cowards with guns, fearful of its so-called 'Papal Mainframe'. It is also susceptible to manipulation and influence from others in power. To the Doctor, like every religion, this is just one of the absurd things humans do – he loves them for their potential as much as for their naivety. The Doctor exploits the Church's weaknesses to great effect in A Good Man Goes to War (2011), when the Doctor (played by Matt Smith), who is for the most part a staunch pacifist, must rescue his companion Amy who has been held captive for the duration of her pregnancy.
When religion is portrayed positively, the show stops short of crediting the tenets of belief themselves. In Davies' 2007 episode Gridlock, the singing of hymns binds people together in despair. But these hymns are not to a God who will save them. These people are singing to themselves. They are coming together as a community. It is the Doctor who saves them, a man of science who burns with moral conviction. Though he is himself sometimes revered as a god, and even presented with Biblical imagery, he knows better than anyone how far this is from the truth. He is someone who lives with the burden of a dark past, and the knowledge of his own frailty – both moral and physical.
In tonight's fiftieth anniversary, the two most popular Doctors in the show's history (David Tennant and Matt Smith), who just so happen to be the most recent, will confront this same dark past. With the exception of the young Doctor played by the old William Hartnell who tried to brutally kill a caveman in An Unearthly Child, the show's premiere story, the Doctor has always married his Enlightenment values to an adjacent set of progressive ethics. But in 2013, the show has introduced a "dark Doctor," played by John Hurt, who hails from a time in the Doctor's life when he was forced to fight a war between his own people, the Time Lords, and the Nazi-like Daleks. The Doctor eradicated both species.
This act is so violent, and so contradicts the Doctor's strict moral code, that he has worked hard to forget this incarnation of himself and make peace with what he did. As stated in its most recent finale episode, The Name of the Doctor, this is a man who broke the vow his name signifies, and has lost the right to call himself the Doctor. Though John Hurt's 'Doctor' is the same essential person and a man of science, he is also also a warrior, one whose valuation of life is subject to a consequentialist philosophy. Not a great deal is known about him, but he would seem to mark a break away from the Doctor's strict humanist code. He will go head to head with his less morally flexible replacements.
In its fiftieth year, the show is putting its title character's values at the heart of the action. Let us see if in the next fifty years, the Doctor's Humanism will win out.
I haven't read it, but there's a critical book on the subject (Humanism and Doctor Who: A Critical Study in Science Fiction and Philosophy by David Layton), and a nifty video on this subject did the rounds on YouTube earlier this year, before getting taken down by a copyright claim. If you can find it, it's got fifty years of the Doctor's humanist speeches edited together to great effect.
EDIT: Ah, the creator of the video managed to resolve the copyright issue and upload it anew yesterday. Enjoy!

by Mike Flood
The Freethinker has recently published an interesting article arguing the case for new terminology to substitute for 'atheist' when describing the 'new world view' that has been evolving since the Enlightenment . The article reinforces the case I made in my last HumanistLife piece about the confusion surrounding the use of the term.
The author, Jeff Haley, argues that we need a term that can be "easily understood and used by everyone" and "complimentary inoffensive terminology to label the older worldviews so that we can talk to people who hold these views and cause a minimum of emotionally distracting insult."
Haley dismisses the term 'naturalistic' — whilst it nicely contrasts with the word 'supernatural', it also "connotes the essence of the old worldviews much more than the essence of the new". He also rejects the term 'scientific' because it would mean, amongst other things needing to change the generally understood meaning of 'scientist'. His proposal is 'evidist', and or an 'evidistic' or 'evidal' worldview, with the labels 'traditionalists' or 'intuitivists' reserved for those who hold the 'old worldview'.
The article is already causing waves: Barbara Smoker has applauded Haley's neologism as better than 'sceptics' (which is "too equivocal"), 'atheists' ("solely negative"), 'secular humanists', ("inexplicit"), or 'brights' ("distastefully arrogant"). However she prefers the adjective 'evidistic', and the noun 'evidism'. Another correspondent has suggested 'innovist'. And no doubt there will be more…
But not everyone is convinced: "Whatever label we atheists use, we're hell-bound unbelievers, so why mince around the subject?" And whilst recognising the confusion and ignorance over the word 'atheist' — and much more so over 'humanist' and 'agnostic' — another contributor argues that "throwing a word like 'evidist' into the mix will exacerbate the confusion".

Trump's List Of SCOTUS Nominees Includes One Loud Twitter Critic
By Katie Link
A scroll through Justice Don Willett's Twitter feed shows he might not be too pumped to be on Trump's shortlist.
On Wednesday, Donald Trump made good on a promise he made in March.
"I'm going to give a list of either five or 10 judges that I will pick — 100 percent pick — that I will put in for nomination," Trump said at a rally.
Well, he actually gave us a list of 11 judges — all people he says he would consider to fill the seat of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
According to a statement from Trump's campaign, the list of candidates "was compiled, first and foremost, based on constitutional principles, with input from highly respected conservatives and Republican Party leadership."
These names are meant to prove a point — that Trump is indeed a conservative and can unite the GOP.
But that last name on the list, Don Willett, may not appreciate this distinction. His Twitter feed seems to indicate he's not a huge fan of Trump.
Willett, a justice on the Supreme Court of Texas, first balked at the thought of a Trump-nominated SCOTUS judge on June 16, 2015 — the day Trump announced his candidacy.
Since then, he's jabbed at the business mogul's now-defunct university, his public works plan, his failed airline and more jabs at the university — apparently, those March Madness jokes were too good to pass up.
As for Willett's response to his name on Trump's shortlist? Well, he tweeted "Happy Wendesday!" with this dancing gif — hard to know how to interpret that.

Sixth street is one of the most iconic places in Austin and helped name the city "The live music capital of the world". Tons of restaurants, bars, and shops – with many of them hosting live music events every night of the week.
What I've learned from locals is that Sixth street is divided into 3 parts: West Sixth, East Sixth, and most famous – Dirty Sixth. West Sixth is full of young professionals, East Sixth is more laid back/hipster, and Dirty Sixth is the main drag in between with lots of bars offering dollar shots and crazy college kids.
Located in the historic and entertainment district, you will be bound to have a great night anywhere on Sixth!
PS – Wondering what those pink boxes are that everyone is carrying around? Voo doo donuts! Bring cash & be prepared for a line.

Anatomy of a Full-Cycle Deal
I think most people would agree - we'd all like to see this check in our mailbox. Full disclosure, the check arrived at my partner's house and that's his thumb in the picture... Regardless, I'm going to break it down by the numbers.
This particular apartment complex is in Central, South Carolina. You've probably never heard of Central, but I bet you've heard of Clemson University. The city of Central is adjacent to Clemson, South Carolina, and this property is less than three miles from the Clemson Campus
The property itself is 82 units built in 1970 on one of the major highways - Old Greenville Highway. Its location gives the property great visibility and the residents easy access to the rest of the city.
Like most properties, we found this through a broker. The owners had planned on bulldozing the property and building A-class student housing; however, after they purchased it, the county enacted a moratorium on new construction to allow the city's utilities to be updated. The owners became reluctant landlords and after two years of holding, decided to cut their losses and sell. Since their plan was to bulldoze the property, they did not put a lot of effort into maintaining the property or keeping it full.
When we first looked at this property, it was at 75% occupancy with average rents at $595. The property across the street, which was also C-class, 1970s-vintage, was at near-100% occupancy with rents close to $800. We saw an opportunity, so in March 2020, we put in an offer at $3.5 million, or about $43k per unit.

Little did we know, the world would shut down a week after we had a signed LOI, and with the closures, commercial lending came to a near standstill. We explained to the owner that we couldn't purchase it without a loan and fortunately, the owner agreed to extend the LOI for several months... By June 2020, we had a purchase and sale agreement (PSA) on the property.
This deal had value-add written all over it. We came in with a $1.2 million renovation budget, which included updating the interiors with LVP flooring and renovated kitchens and bathrooms; converting the mansard roofs to a more modern look; repairing roofs; rebranding the property; adding amenities including a sand volleyball court and a dog park; and finding and plugging hundreds of leaks that put the property's water bill at 3x the normal level. We figured that, after we finished with the renovations, we could increase rents to roughly $800 per unit over a 3-year period, and increase the property value substantially.
We obtained a loan that would provide $2.8 million at closing and an extra $500k for renovations at 4% APR with 2 years interest only payments. It was a recourse loan, but we were certainly confident with the business plan. The loan was contingent on the appraisal, and that came through to our benefit. The as-is appraisal price was $3.7 million with the stabilized market value at $6.5 million.
With the purchase price, capital expense budget, closing costs, and operating reserves, we raised $1.5 million in private capital. Our biggest struggle was it was so soon after the COVID shut downs that many investors were playing it safe with their money. We were still able to raise the funds and purchase the property. We closed in October 2020.

Taking over a property at 75% occupancy right after COVID is not an easy thing to do... especially when you're also trying to renovate units with significant price volatility in materials. We started the value-add plan immediately by checking every single unit for leaks, installing low-flow fixtures, and repairing numerous slab leaks (where copper waterlines went through the concrete slab) to reduce the water consumption.
Our occupancy graph was not a pretty picture. We inherited a tenant base that was not properly screened and it showed. After several months of the COVID moratorium on evictions, we ended up with a lot of bad debt and non-paying tenants (partially due to a poor-performing property management company). When evictions opened back up again in this area, we started filing at the rapid-rate. Good news, we got rid of almost two dozen non-paying tenants. The bad news - our occupancy dipped into the 50s and we had to climb out of a hole. We used the low occupancy to our advantage, found a general contractor that could bring in several crews, and started spending our Capex budget as fast as we could.
Over the next several months as we brought renovated units online, our occupancy kept improving and we ended up at roughly 90% when we sold the property.
In early 2022, we decided to list the property for sale. We have often told our investors that our goal is to maximize their returns - with the market uncertainty and fast-rising interest rates, there was some uncertainty as to whether or not the prices would remain high. Since we were far ahead of our value-add schedule and with prices as high as they were at the time, we decided to sell.
We listed with a broker who quickly found a buyer that wanted to do a 1031 exchange. We got a contract at $5.9 million and shortly thereafter, sold the property.
Overall, we were able to give our investors a 24% average annual return on their capital, which is a huge success.
Our offering started with an 80/20 split between investors and general partners. We set a 12% AAR hurdle after which the proceeds were distributed 50/50.

A new report finds that with strong performances by vendors, demand for technology products and a positive employment market, the health of the U.S. technology industry is at its highest level in five-and-a-half years.
The health of the U.S. technology industry is at its highest level in five-and-a-half years, finds the latest quarterly index from Forrester Research and Information Technology Association of America, released March 21.
The Q4 2006 Index suggested that there will be continued slow but steady gains for the tech sector in 2007. Based on 11 indices measuring IT supply, demand and the fiscal strength of U.S.-based vendors, and measuring against a 2002 average of 100 as the baseline, seven of the 11 indices were up in Q4 2006. There was a 2 point increase in Q4 and a 3.7 point gain in Q3.
It was the financial performances of vendors in Q4 that had the most positive impact on the Index, finds the report. The stock price component of the Index jumped 16.2 points, reflecting the broad rise in the stock market at the end of last year. The vendor profit component of the Index grew 10.9 points for the quarter.
"The financial performance of U.S. technology vendors last quarter helped push the Index higher," said Forrester analyst G. Oliver Young. "Stock prices were up across the board at the end of 2006, and net income for the 22 major U.S. tech vendors that Forrester monitors reached $13.2 billion, the highest quarterly level since we began tracking. But foreign sales—not domestic demand—is driving vendor revenues and profits."
Demand for technology products also increased nearly three points in Q4, attributed in part to the optimism of spending forecasts by CIOs.
IT industry employment, which gained 11,700 tech jobs in Q4, also had a strong positive impact on the Index. This brought IT employment to its highest level since the close of 2002, a fact that the IT industry hopes will help lure more student recruits.

"The IT industry is thriving on a global stage and driving value at home," said ITAA President and CEO Phil Bond. "Every high school graduate should know that IT employment is at its strongest in four years and spending forecasts signal a continued climb for demand in the U.S. market."
IT venture capital investment took a hit in Q4, plunging 20.8 points after already slipping 9.4 points in Q3, a quarter-on-quarter drop of $711 million.

Photograph of Harrison P. Davis (#15). 1971.
Virginia's football team was integrated in 1970 with the signing of four African-Americans: Harrison Davis, Stanley Land, Kent Merritt and John Rainey. Though he was a tremendous athlete, Harrison Davis's placement as a quarterback at UVa was not well received by the Virginia fans nor students and his years on the gridiron were wrought with controversy. Following graduation, Davis went on to pursue a professional career with the San Diego Chargers.

If life begins at 40 then fans of Bath music venue Moles have much to look forward to.
The iconic spot is celebrating entering its fifth decade with a party - and it is only fitting a legendary act should mark the occasion.
Fatboy Slim is playing a three hour set at the George Street location tonight (December 21), with all profits from ticket sales being donated to charity.
Unfortunately, the show is sold out online.
However, tickets only guarantee entry until 10:30pm.
After that, any spare spaces will be sold on the door on a first come first served basis - so there is still a chance you can see the famous DJ perform.
Every penny spent on tickets this evening will be going to Friends of Margaret Coates Unit, a local charity supporting the Margaret Coates Centre which caters for young children with autism spectrum disorder and other associated afflictions.
The club is going to be decorated in a Tiki theme, so Hawaiian shirts are necessary.
Moles opened on New Year's Eve in 1978, and has not looked back since.
Acts likes The Smiths, Oasis, Eurythmics, Bastille and Ed Sheeran have graced its stage, to name a few.
Although the George Street spot suffered a devastating fire in March 2014, permanent closure was never an option.
It reopened on November 27 the following year, resuming its place at the forefront of the Bath music scene.

Thursday night, the Greenville County Sheriffs Office released dash cam footage of a high speed pursuit that occurred on Sept 17th. The chase ended in a crash that caused the death of a 30-year-old fire lieutenant.
The driver of the vehicle has been identified as John William Kennedy, who was allegedly driving a stolen Ford F-150.
In the video, the truck is seen traveling at very fast speeds, swerving and going the wrong way on a highway. Police maintain that they ended the pursuit shortly after Kennedy crossed over to the wrong side of Highway 25 and began driving into oncoming traffic. Following this, Kennedy collided head-on with the victim, who was on his motorcycle.The video then shows the truck stopped in the median with smoke billowing out.
Police released this video to confirm to the public that they did not continue the chase. Although police are given power to ignore normal traffic laws to pursue criminals, high speed pursuits can result in civil liability when injury or death occurs as a result.
A report by USA today revealed that thousands of people have died as a result of high speed chases since 1979. Often these people are innocent bystanders, and the people fleeing are non-violent offenders. Police only keep records of fatalities, so statistics on injuries are hard to obtain. Some estimate over 7,400 people per year are injured as a result of a chase.
Police maintain that pursuits are necessary to maintain law and order, however the number of deaths and injuries, especially innocent bystanders, make these chases controversial. Several states have passed laws severely limiting reckless pursuits. In other places, police departments have set their own internal guidelines on pursuits to avoid endangering innocent people.

Q: getting the length of an array after passing as a char*
Possible Duplicate:
Sizeof an array in the C programming language?

I have code of the following form:
void arrLen(char* array){
    // print length
}

int main(){
    char bytes[16];
    arrLen(bytes);
}

What I need to do is get the length of the underlying array and print it out.  The issue is that the array MAY CONTAIN NULL CHARACTERS, and therefore strlen would not work.  is there any way to do this, or would I have to pass it as a char[] instead of a char*?

A: C style arrays do not carry length information with them.
You have several solutions avaliable :
pass the size of your array to your function :
void arrLen(char* array, std::size_t size)

use std::array if you have access to C++ 11 (or TR1 as mentionned in comments)
 std::array<char, 16> bytes;

If you don't have access to std::array, you can use boost::array. They are roughly equivalent to the standard one.
Regarding your comment

would I have to pass it as a char[] instead of a char*?

Arrays are always passed to functions as pointers, so void arrLen(char* array) and void arrLen(char[] array) are equivalent.

A:
or would I have to pass it as a char[] instead of a char*?

Changing the declaration of arrLen() to take a parameter of type char[] instead of char* would have no effect, as in this scenario they are equivalent.
A possible solution would be to use a template function:
#include <iostream>

template <typename T, int N>
void array_size(T (&a)[N])
{
    std::cout << N << "\n";
}
int main()
{
    array_size("hello");
    char bytes[16];
    array_size(bytes);
    return 0;
}

See http://ideone.com/l7GxDp for demo.
Alternatives to using an array:

*

*std::string; these can contain NULL characters:
    std::string s("hello\0world", 11);

*std::vector<char>

*boost::array<char, 16> (available as std::array<char,16> in C++11, or std::tr1::array in most every C++ compiler on the market)

A: In the traditional way (C) one has to pass the size as an attribute of the function
void arrLen(char* array, int maxSize){
    // print length
}

int main(){
    char bytes[16];
    arrLen(bytes, 16);
}

A: arrays in C/C++ aren't handled that way per say, you have to manually keep track of the length yourself.. change your function to something like void arrLen(char * array, int size) and specify the size whenever you call the function.

A: If you have a C++11, may I suggest that you use std::array, it keeps track of it size.

A: Unfortunately, char[] and char* parameter types are equivalent.
You have two options:
Pass the length along with the pointer like one would in  C:
void arrLen(char* array, size_t length)

or use a template:
template<size_t sz>
void arrLen(char (&array)[sz])

Cassius Winston On 2020 NBA Draft Process 'The Best Part Of Everything Is The Journey'
Filed Under:Cassius Winston, Michigan State Spartans, Michigan State Spartans Basketball, Ryan Mayer
(CBS)- If you turned on a Michigan State game in the last four years, you quickly became acquainted with point guard Cassius Winston. The 6'1″ 185 pound Detroit native cracked head coach Tom Izzo's lineup right away as a freshman and took over as the full-time starter at point guard by his sophomore year.
A two-time All American, two-time All Big-Ten selection and the 2018-19 Big Ten Player of the Year award in his back pocket, Winston now looks to make the next step when the NBA Draft gets underway on November 18. Even in a year of uncertainty with the draft process and when things will get underway (the November 18 date is the third already for the draft this year), Winston is just enjoying the process.

"You just have to enjoy the process. The best part of everything is the journey," said Winston. "I'm pretty sure we're going to look back on this time, and you're going to think about how you went through it. When I look back on it I want to think about it I embraced it."
"My job right now is to wake up, work on my body work on my game. And that's really all I got to do. So there's a lot of people that got it way worse than me during these times so I can't I can't really complain," continued Winston.
That love for the game began early with battles against his brothers Zachary and Khy. What first started out as just a way for the three of them and their dad to hang out became a passion and, even though he says he's still pretty sure he's undefeated in those competitions, Winston credits those sessions with his family for pushing him to improve.

"They pushed me to become better and they pushed me to try to improve and I knew they were looking up to me so I always tried to make myself go harder in order to make sure that they could follow in those footsteps," said Winston.
At Michigan State, Winston grew both on and off the court, crediting the program with helping him to transform not only physically, through adding muscle and improving his conditioning, but mentally as well.
"It helps you grow this mental toughness that just separates yourself. Being able to believe in yourself, believe in the work that you put in. Be able to take losses. Be able to fall down and get back up," said Winston. "As a man, that's something crucial to learn something that you're going to need for the rest of your life. To be able to learn that, in an environment that helps you grow and learn and grow into the person that you want to be was really helpful for me."
Part of that growth came through the relationship that Winston developed with head coach Tom Izzo. As with many point guard/head coach relationships, there were highs and lows, but Winston appreciates the challenge that Izzo consistently provided to push him to become a better player.
"It's just this constant, constant ability to push you and challenge you. And I'm a person who responds very well to challenges," said Winston of Izzo. "So, if you do something, you know he's going challenge you to do it better. Or if you go to the gym three days a week he's going to challenge you to come five. He's constantly challenging to be better than what you think you're doing and to push yourself further than what you think you can accomplish. That mindset of having somebody there to push you to heights you probably didn't think you could reach."
Those challenges and pushes no have Winston on the brink of an NBA career. He's projected by CBSSports.com to go 28th to the Los Angeles Lakers in their latest Mock Draft. His game has been well dissected after four years of playing in the national spotlight with the Spartans, but he feels there's one aspect that's hard to notice on film that he brings to the team.
"I think one of the things that may go, unnoticed a little bit is the amount of confidence that I feed off into my teammates," said Winston. "I feed confidence into my teammates where okay, you hit that shot, I'm coming back to you. Go ahead and make that play you can knock that down. That whole type of energy towards the game. I know I'm bringing myself but I'll make sure my team is going to feel like they can play at that level too."
The skills that show up in the box score and on film are quite impressive too. A career 43% three point shooter who averaged over six assists and nearly a steal per game, Winston's profile fits will with teams looking for guard to add to their roster. He compares his game most to that of Toronto Raptors guards Fred VanVleet and Kyle Lowry, noting that their ability to make plays in tight spaces and get their teammates involved are things he's developed in his own game.
But, Winston has made a point of making sure that he's a threat with or without the ball in his hands saying that he never wants to be seen as a limited player.

"I want to be a play maker and that means that no matter what position you put me in, no matter what situation you put me in, I'll figure out a way to make it work and still be productive and make things happen," said Winston. "I pride myself on having the ability to be more versatile so I can be out there and I want to be on the floor so the more things you can do on the floor, the more options they have for you."
He'll bring that versatility with him to whatever team calls his name on draft night. Of course, as a Detroit native, being selected by the Pistons would be a nice moment for Winston who noted that "home is always where my heart is." But, no matter where he's headed after November 18, he has a message for fans about what he brings to the city.
"You're getting a winner. That is what I want to do I want to win games at the highest level. And I pride myself on being good in those situations," said Winston. "I'm going to come in, I'm going to give it my all and eventually I'm going to figure it out. And once that happens, things will start to roll. You'll get somebody who is going to come in, be a winner. Be a good teammate and do his best to fill the role to the best way possible. And off the court you're going to get a good guy, a great genuine person, humble. I'm there to enjoy people, enjoy the city and go to events and just see what the culture is like. I want to get all those things in because I don't want to be somebody who's standoffish I want to be a part of the city."
The NBA Draft is set to begin on Wednesday, November 18.

First Person Arts' Hosts Sexual Harassment Workshop Focusing On Life After Trauma
Working through trauma is never the same for every person.
However, storytelling can help with healing from experiences that cause trauma long after they are over.
First Person Arts, a nonprofit organization focused on the power of storytelling, will host a sexual harassment workshop in partnership with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission (PHRC) on June 27.
By giving survivors a platform to tell their stories, FPA's executive director Jamie Brunson hopes to empower people to take action against sexual harassment.
"Let's not just talk about something — let's figure out how to move forward, which I think is very much the Philly way," Brunson said.
The PHRC will have investigators present at the event to help file complaints of sexual harassment and to educate on how to become an ally for survivors. There is plenty of awareness in the media about sexual harassment, but there's not enough information about how to stand up against it, Brunson claimed.
"What [isn't] necessarily out there is how to heal, how to be empowered, how to be an ally, how to be a whistleblower," Brunson said.
The workshop will be divided into four parts: Stories of Allies and Allyship, Stories of Whistleblowers, After it Happened: Stories of Healing and Empowerment, and The Writing Zone. Storytellers Colleen Kennedy, Kat Laff and Emily Woods will be sharing their experiences throughout the event.
"This is an opportunity for them to release and to tell the world. It gives them a voice," Brunson said. "You know they may not have an opportunity to confront, but just speaking their own truth is empowering and they deserve it."
Coming forward about incidents of sexual harassment is not always easy or immediate for survivors. This workshop will provide an uninterrupted and nonjudgmental space for them to share their stories.
"Sometimes people don't report because they've suppressed memory already. This is a result of trauma wreaking havoc on their system," Brunson explained.
Through the bravery of the storytellers to come forward, this workshop will prove that there is life after such a traumatic experience.
"Let's not just talk about something — let's figure out how to move forward, which I think is very much the Philly way."

"There's a part of our process where we spend time talking about how the past does not have to defeat your future," Brunson said.
Dr. Marquita Williams and Dr. Daniel Lee from the Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services will lead the event's closing workshop. They will focus on checking in with the audience and making sure everyone is in a good place to go home after hearing such impactful stories, Brunson said.
"Responsible art doesn't just open you up and then send you on your way. Responsible art is also in partnership with action and healing," Brunson said.
