Dr. Peter Linnerooth spent nearly five years wearing an Army uniform, including the bloodiest 12 months in Iraq at the height of the surge. As a mental-health professional, his top mission was to keep troops from killing themselves. After he returned home, he spent another two years trying to save the vets he loved, working for the VA in California and Nevada.
Few who wore the uniform in the nation's post-9/11 wars better understood the perverse alchemy that can change the rush and glory of combat into a darkening cloud of anxiety, depression and posttraumatic stress. But strikingly, all that understanding — and the knowledge, education and firsthand experience that nurtured it — didn't save Linnerooth.
Linnerooth died in Mankato, Minn., on Jan. 2. He was 42.
I read this post the day after I learned about Aaron Schwartz and his suicide. As a person with someone in the family who has issues with suicidal thoughts, these stories are disheartening. Also this week, someone on Facebook recommended this article in The Atlantic about happiness versus meaning, suggesting it as helpful for those who are depressed. The article mentions how Viktor Frankl helped two men in concentration camps survive their suicidal feelings by helping them focus on meaning in their lives.
Okay, but Dr. Peter Linnerooth and Aaron Schwartz seemed to have doubled-down on meaning, perhaps to try to plug a hole in their feelings. Even last night I saw a cover band of Nirvana, where one is stuck stewing on the greatness of Kurt Cobain, and how we, as fans, were robbed. We call suicide a selfish act. But apparently giving selflessly is not a fix to find meaning.
I am going to reconsider forwarding that Atlantic article, I'm afraid the misdirection may only be destructive. But what I will do, is act as a heartfelt leader to bring them toward a balanced life of happiness and meaning.

What Makes The Differences Between Introverts And Extroverts?
Jeffrey Lau
Editor. Sport Lover. Animal Lover. Read full profile
A conversation on Friday night.
'Let's head to the bars downtown. I heard there will be a massive party. It's gonna be real fun!'
'Nah, I've got 300 pages to catch this weekend.'
'Come on, don't be so discouraging. Two hours, okay?'
'Um.. I would rather-'
'Are you really that shy?
'I just prefer to be alone. It's tiring outside.'
Typical introvert and extrovert traits, right?
Introverts are shy and always want to be alone. Extroverts are outgoing.
This is a major misconception of introverts and extroverts. Extroverts think that introverts never come out of their room; while in introverts' mind, extroverts always stay way out of their room. This is a pure misunderstanding between the two.
What if it is because they have to?
We've made it wrong – we're all hybrids
The origins of the terms 'introvert' and 'extrovert' can be traced back to as early as 1920s, when a Swiss psychologist Carl Jung coined the two terms to contrast between two distinct personality types.
In fact, introversion and extroversion are never two mutually exclusive qualities. More precisely, they are on the two opposite ends of a spectrum. Meanwhile, everyone of us falls on somewhere between the two extremes, only differing by the extent we are more introvert-like or extrovert-like. As Carl Jung put it,
There is no such thing as a pure introvert or extrovert. Such a person would be in the lunatic asylum.
▲ No one is a pure introvert or extrovert.
We have no choice. Our brains are the bosses.
Introverts and extroverts may behave very differently in people's eyes. One may think it is just their preference to work like this. Yet, it is actually their brains that makes such a difference. They have no choice but to cope with it.
How are their brains different?
Extroverts are hungry for stimuli, while introverts have much in store
Extroverts appear sociable and always try to be the centre of attention. This is in fact due to their comparatively weaker sensitivity to stimuli.
That's why they have to proactively seek outer stimuli in order to reach a functional equilibrium for their minds.
Hans Eysenck, a German psychologist, defines extroverts by analyzing their baseline arousal. The result reveals extroverts have a lower baseline arousal. Consequently, they need to be engaged in more thrilling activities to gain satisfaction while introverts, with a higher baseline arousal, are more easily satisfied.
By contrast, introverts are much more sensitive to stimuli. So they opt to escape from stimuli to avoid being overwhelmed. In fact, it is difficult for them to perform normally if they are constantly under the influence of stimuli.
When it comes to recharging, introverts and extroverts seek entirely different ways as expected. Introverts gain energy by being alone while extroverts recharge themselves through social interaction.
Introverts take the long way, while extroverts take the shortcut
Ever wondered why extroverts think and make decisions much more quickly than introverts?
First, it's because the prefrontal cortex in the brains of introverts is much thicker than that of extroverts. Prefrontal cortex is an area responsible for deep thinking and planning. That's why introverts are more fond of spending more time on rumination whenever they need to make decisions or come across some problems.
▲ Introverts' brains are like a complex transport system, while extroverts' brains are like a straightforward highway.
Second, when it comes to processing information, introverts take a longer, more complicated pathway. The route passes along areas associated with memory, planning and problem-solving.
By contrast, extroverts take a much shorter path. The shortcut mainly runs through areas responsible for sensory processing.
Due to the different pathways they choose, extroverts tend to speak and act quickly, while introverts need more time to come up with a response.
Introverts and extroverts react differently to human faces
Aside from the structural difference of the brain, introverts and extroverts respond differently to human faces. When given a picture of human face and a picture of the wild nature, extroverts reach more vigorously to the human face one. Introverts, on the other hand, respond fairly the same to both pictures.
Of course it doesn't mean introverts don't even feel a thing from any interaction. They just feel less strongly. They don't feel as excited and require comparatively less social interaction to gain satisfaction. They still need social life.
Personality stereotypes are as terrible as gender stereotypes…
Stereotypes of introverts and extroverts are deep-rooted in everyone's minds. Introverts are connected with 'shy' and 'preference to be alone' while extroverts are associated with 'outgoing' and 'good at talking'.
It is not true.
Introverts in reality may even be a better public speaker for their deep and thorough thinking. Extroverts who have diverse interest in different topics are better at coping with small talk.
Introverts do not prefer loneliness. They simply avoid being overwhelmed by stimuli due to their high sensitivity to stimuli. Hence, they are in favor of close conversation with a small group of people. By contrast, extroverts are in need of external stimuli so they prefer having fun with a large of people.
Can't relate yourself to the two camps? Here's the third one for you
Till now, we have been focusing on people on the two sides of the "introvert-extrovert" continuum. What about those in the middle?
Ambiverts, that's how we call them.
1. Do you prefer time alone while also love people?
2. Do certain situations make you feel outgoing while some reserved?
3. Do you struggle with categorizing yourself as an introvert or extrovert?
If your answer is yes to these questions. You are probably an ambivert.
Ambiverts are those who possess traits from both introverts and extroverts. They exhibit qualities of both extremes in different situations.
For example, you may be uncomfortable in a night club full of people but you feel energized being around your classmates at school. You feel awkward with a bunch of strangers while you are extroverted with your friends.
Most people are actually ambiverts. Like the statement at the beginning, introvert and extrovert are just two extremes.
Find the common language. After all, we're not from two different planets.
Introverts and extroverts don't seem to go along with each other.
Not true.
Recognizing and accepting the difference between the two can create the best environment for co-existence.
Advice for introverts:
For introverts, you need to put your treasured ones slightly in front of your work. It may sound uncomfortable but the main point is to look for a comfortable balance between work and social life. Be aware not completely drop out of your social circle.
Socializing with others is necessary. You understand you have limited energy to spare on so spend them wisely. Divide it equally for your work and social circle.
Also, it is important to leave yourself some space to recharge. Never fully devote all the time on the others. Otherwise you will soon be exhausted mentally and physically. Give yourself at least a day per week to recharge.
Striking for a balance is the main point.
Advice for extroverts:
Extrovert, on the other hand, you need to understand the difference. Don't force introverts out of their comfort zone. Instead, find out when your introverted friends are okay to hang out. Forcing them out when they don't want to only ends disastrously. None will be pleased in the end. You can communicate your schedule with them and look for the best possible plan to satisfy both sides.
If, unfortunately, your friends are mostly introverted and you still feel dissatisfied after attempts to compromise, try to expand your social circles then. Join clubs, learn some new skills. Voluntary work would do the job too.
Remember there is nothing bad to be either an introvert, extrovert or ambivert. The most important point is to understand yourself. Embrace who you are. Forcing yourself to become another person is a big no-no. Only by acknowledging and accepting the difference can we all live in a harmonious world.

Wheels - The Infiniti QX56
Wheels – The Infiniti QX56
Luxury in Utility — Infiniti scores big with its sporty, roomy road warriors.
Patrick Devereux March 6, 2006 Shopping 0 Comments
The Infiniti QX56, according to the company, offers "anything and everything you could want in a premium SUV." That's quite a boast from a firm that only two years ago threatened to redefine dreary and bland.
But it does, indeed, have quite a lot to boast about. After more than a decade of producing technically brilliant cars that were boringly reliable and reliably boring, Infiniti has a new plan, one most other carmakers would do well to copy. It's called: make vehicles people want to buy.
One of the most stunning examples is the FX45 sports-oriented SUV. Infiniti calls it a premium crossover SUV as it mixes sports car performance with the usability of a mid-size truck. We call it extraordinary. Here is a vehicle that recognizes only six people in Texas ever really go off road in their luxury SUVs and that all the rest of us want is great on-road performance and chunky good looks.
No problem on the first part. Fire up the 4.5-liter V8 and you don't have to go more than a few miles down the highway to realize that even high expectations are not high enough. The steering is tight and direct, the seats supportive, and the engine ready immediately to fire you in any direction you care to go — which is pretty much wherever you want. The madly intelligent all-wheel drive system gives it handling that would embarrass many a supposed sports car.
Much like the styling. While the performance is some distance north of useful, it's those looks that really set the FX apart. The bluff front, the high shoulder line and low roofline combined with the oversized 20-inch wheels give it a cartoonish, conceptual appearance that appeals on many levels. It's an allure that's standing the test of time.
For the record, it's gratifying to see a Japanese carmaker confident enough to develop its own design language for its premium vehicles rather than produce unhappy-looking reworked amalgams of European forms.
With the FX as a scene setter, and Infiniti's bold claims, the QX56 has a lot to live up to. It also has considerably more competition than the FX to fight off as the phenomenon that is the full-size luxury SUV.
If you look back, you can see it started with the Lincoln Navigator and Cadillac Escalade. Essentially versions of their worthy but lowly Ford and GM equals with a fully appointed multimedia lounge where the cabin used to be, these vehicles hit a power chord so loudly with the SUV-buying public they heard it in Japan.
Toyota, as ever, was first to respond with its Land Cruiser-based Lexus LX450 — now the LX470. And now it's Nissan's turn to play with the big boys in the full-size luxury arena, with its Infiniti QX56.
The first U.S.-built, full-sized Japanese SUV, the QX56 has clearly been on the same high-calorie diet as its domestic equivalents. Looking like a cross between a regular SUV and a Greyhound bus — Infiniti prefers to call it athletic, progressive, and stylish — the big QX is roughly the same size as the Navigator and Escalade on the outside but has a few new tricks up its massive sleeve on the inside.
One of the latest battlefields for these automotive quarterbacks is seating comfort and flexibility. The QX scores the first touchdown by offering fold flat seats in all three rows. It then scores extra points with its cavernous amount of available loadspace even with all three rows of seats upright.
Looking at it, you start to wonder who needs all that room. Particularly as there's space on the roof for 200 pounds of luggage and the towing capacity is only slightly less than a whole house. But, of course, this vehicle has very little to do with need and a lot to do with want.
None of this flexibility has apparently been created at the expense of luxury. You want it? You've got it — mostly as standard: DVD-based entertainment systems, dual media audio systems, rear power-operated lift gate, power-adjustable pedals, and a long, long list of other features that would fill the rest of this page.
Powering this cinematic experience is a 5.6-liter (hence the QX56 name) V8 that has been tuned to give neck-snapping low-speed response and generally put a smile on your face when you floor the gas pedal. Not that you hear much from it — or anything else that's not in the cabin thanks to some highly effective sound insulation that makes driving the QX a relaxingly peaceful experience.
For most vehicles of this supersize, "driving" wouldn't be the right word to use to describe how you control them. Coaxing or remote control would be more appropriate. This is where the QX — with available all-wheel drive — scores big time over the opposition. Its independent rear suspension and auto leveling system allow it to be hustled through a series of bends without inducing seasickness in everyone present. Infiniti says the QX "carries and tows big but drives small."
This makes journeys not just quicker but safer, too. It follows that if you can place the car where you want on the road, you are more likely to avoid having an accident in the first place. However, even if you do find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time, the QX has more airbags than a balloon salesman — and enough weight to brush aside most non-fixed objects — so you'll be all right.
Is the QX56 "anything and everything you want in a premium SUV"? Other than its little brother's film-star good looks at this moment, it's hard to think of anything they've missed.
Infiniti QX56 from about $48,080
Infiniti FX45 from $44,225

Mikel Arteta hoping Arsenal have secret weapon vs Rapid Vienna as supporters return
Arsenal supporters are finally back at the Emirates after nine months as the Gunners take on Rapid Vienna in the Europa League
Aaron StokesSport Reporter

Arsenal are the first Premier League club in Tier 2 to welcome fans back into their stadium.
2000 Gunners fans will filter into the Emirates this evening as they take on Rapid Vienna in the Europa League.
Arsenal supporters have been banished from the north London venue for almost nine months and were allowed to buy tickets on a first come, first served basis.
Mikel Arteta's side are all-but through to the knockout stages in Europe following four wins from four in the competition but fans will no doubt seeing this as an important game.
And the Arsenal chief expects to fans to help his team get through this spell of poor form.
Arsenal have controversial 'first name on list' to replace Mikel Arteta if they sack him
"I expect them to be very supportive of the team, because in the end it's the only way to get out of this situation," he said this week.
"It's not a secret. When you see the top teams, the stable teams that win trophies, how[fans] act towards the team, name me one where they go against the team.
"I haven't seen it, so the only way to do it is with them and we need them."

Arsenal are struggling in the Premier League having lost their last three matches at the Emirates.
But Arteta is confident he is still the right man for the job, despite recent criticism from fans and pundits.
"I expected to be a little bit further than we are in the table, and a bit further with what we've done in certain games where we could have deserved more," he said.

"But the worst thing [to think] is: 'What if?' This is our reality. In the end we can find excuses but I hate to do that.
"We are here, let's get out of this situation, let's face that challenge and let's move on."

JAI has been building "New Homes" for decades. We have never build spec homes and never participated in large sub divisions requiring fancy, furnished model homes all gathered around a cul du sac where many builders compete for sales. That is not what we do.
In other words we don't simply take a standard model home and stick it on a lot with the main glass area facing west with no overhangs or trees to provide shade! And then add tons of air conditioning to try to keep it cool! Home orientation is not rocket science but all too often ignored.
Our main area of building activity is high end, waterfront communities, most of which are densely populated as you can imagine. Therefore many of the custom homes we build require tearing down the existing structure. We do however make every effort possible to remodel existing homes before we inadvertently tear them down because we have found that in many situations it is more cost effective and much more environmentally friendly to remodel rather than tear down.
We are FEMA experts and specialize in waterfront construction. FEMA is the "Federal Emergency Management Act" that regulates all construction in flood plains. It is very complicated and must be understood and addressed prior to any and all waterfront construction.
We started with a tiny shack on a perfect lot on the water. This was one of the rare situations that did not allow us to simply remodel the existing home for two main reasons: One, the property was on the water in a flood zone requiring raising the structure more than would be reasonably practical with the existing structure and two, the original structure was in very bad condition. It was basically a shack. So with no other options we designed the perfect home to fit the property and take into consideration the owners needs and wishes, the water views, the neighboring structures and even the prevailing breezes. It turned out to be the perfect fit and resulted in very happy customers…again.
Joe Angeleri – THIS IS WHAT WE STARTED OUT WITH!
To learn more please contact us and let us show you why we have the reputation we have and how simple it actually is to solve design and orientation issues the practical way. We have an impressive portfolio of custom homes we have built that we would be proud to share.

The original home was in very bad condition and too difficult to bring into compliance with the FEMA (flood plain) requirements. This home os a study in "attention to Detail".

When math and art meet
In 1991, two mathematicians proved that you cannot always hear the shape of a drum. There are different shaped drums that make the same sound.
What about hearing numbers? For instance, can you hear pi? The answer is yes, you can. In fact you can listen to two renderings, though it took a recent court ruling to make this possible.
The story begins on Pi Day (March 14, or 3.14) 2011, when New Scientist posted a video by a musician called Michael John Blake, in which he played a piano rendering of the first 31 decimal places of pi, played at a tempo of 157 beats per minute (314 divided by two).
The video immediately went viral, but a few hours later, YouTube was contacted by a lawyer representing jazz musician Lars Erickson, who claimed that Blake's work sounded very similar to his 1992 composition "Pi Symphony", which he had registered with the US copyright office. With a claim of copyright infringement, YouTube removed the video. But Blake decided to lodge an appeal.
Both musicians had produced their works by converting decimal digits to notes on the musical scale and then adjusted tempo, phrasing, and harmonies to give the resulting composition recognizable musicality. The basis for Blake's appeal was whether it was legally possible to copyright such a representation of pi. This is clearly an interesting question, since books and articles talking about pi and visual art based on pi clearly are copyrightable. Indeed, this very blog post automatically carries copyright.
One year later, on March 14 of this year, US district court judge Michael H. Simon, deliberately choosing to announce his decision on Pi Day, dismissed Erickson's claim of copyright infringement. "Pi is a non-copyrightable fact, and the transcription of pi to music is a non-copyrightable idea," Simon wrote in his legal opinion. "The resulting pattern of notes is an expression that merges with the non-copyrightable idea of putting pi to music." (Ideas are not copyrightable.) The only features of his work that Erickson's registered copyright protected, the judge said, were the musical flourishes he added to give the result a pleasing sound, and on the face of it the flourishes the two composers added were different. Erickson disagrees with Judge Simon's opinion on that point. Readers can make up their own mind.
In any event, the world now has access to two musical renderings of pi.
I've always been intrigued by artists who try to push the boundaries of their form, as indicated by an aside I made during my talk at Wonderfest 2010. As a mathematician, I'm particularly fascinated by attempts to interpret mathematics in different artistic media, novels, movies, TV shows, painting, sculpture, and of course music and dance.
Which brings me to the "Devlin's Angle" column I posted back in January, when I mentioned the project I worked on with the choral group Zambra, where we set out to interpret some of my favorite mathematical equations in song. I ended my article by promising to say more about that project, but then other topics came up that seemed more pressing, and that promise was not fulfilled.
The equations/formulas we chose were Euler's equation, Pythagoras' equation, Area of a circle formula, Einstein's energy equation, Leibniz's series for pi, Newton's second law of motion, and Euler's polyhedron formula. You can find a description of the entire project on my website.
The stage performances of our show also involved dance, provided by math professor and dancer Karl Schaffer and members of his dance troupe MoveSpeakSpin, but unfortunately we did not have the funding for a video recording.
There is clearly considerable potential in the use of music and dance (and other artistic media) in school mathematics education. Someone else I am aware of, in addition to Schaffer, who is doing great things in this area is Malke Rosenberg with MathInYourFeet.
There is also a new TV series that includes some mathematics, Touch, on Fox TV. I commented on the portrayal of mathematics in that new series in a recent commentary in The Huffington Post. As I said there, I have positive and negative feelings about that particular portrayal, but surely anything that connects mathematics to an aspect of everyday life, particularly recreational activities and popular culture, provides an excellent opportunity for the mathematics educator faced with interesting students in a crucial subject whose many important applications are, to a large extent, hidden from public view.

(in collaboration with D. Démétriadés)
The district made up of 80 four and three room apartments, of a gross total flooring area of 8,591 m2, is destined for Ecole Polytechnique Fédéral collaborators. The site is located at the extreme North of the campus grounds. Triangular in shape, it is limited on the East by a river on one side and hedged by a dense cordon of forest on another, on the West by a main road.
The complex is made up of a linear building along the access road and three fan-shaped buildings. Their ground floors are located a floor below. This difference of level is used to create a lower road with no cars across the gardens for pedestrians and local children.
The linear building includes, an underground car park with 130 spaces. Communal areas such as laundry facilities, bike and pram shed, meeting rooms, children's classrooms etc, are on the ground floor. Apartments are double-oriented. Access is over a twin-level metallic footbridge turning the pavement below into a sheltered walkway.
The curved buildings fan out to face the river and the forest. They are accessible by metallic footbridges. To the North, a large glass partition espouses the movement of the staircase.
The façade elements are prefabricated reinforced concrete sandwich panels. They include a highly insulating 10cm thick polystyrene layer. Window frames are in wood & metal and support insulating glass panes with reflective layer.

The seasons are changing and there are some big dreams coming true for Flourish this spring! Plans have been in the works for awhile now and finally, this winter, we started to plow ahead in the gardens and in the barn across the street! We have more than doubled our garden space by adding eight more 100 foot rows (six pictured here) in the former sheep pasture. Larkspur, anemones, ranunculus, poppies, tulips, daffodils, pansies, and lilies are all sleeping soundly in these fresh plowed rows. Some are warming up and are just starting to emerge to find the sun and our eager faces!
The other half of our move has to do with our workspace. We have been operating out of a small portion of a barn with one counter top and a cooler just barely big enough to fit our needs. While it was cute and cozy, our dream has always been to have a space where we can bless others with the beauty of flowers more efficiently and creatively. Our new space across the street has plenty of room for storing all of our flowers, supplies, and rentable items with lots of space leftover to do all our harvesting and designing. We can't wait to hold classes here and see what other kinds of opportunities this space opens up!
As you can see, everything is still in process, but so much progress has been made over the winter and we are so grateful for the help we have received along the way. Our next step will be to get all the electricity hooked up and to install the new cooler and a sink with hot water. Thanks for following along with us and stay tuned for pictures of the farm in full bloom!

Office: Rolfe Hall 1318
A job was waiting for Bain in the School of the Arts at his alma mater, Columbia University, but he said a key factor in coming to UCLA was the "new energy" coming from the African-American Studies department and the work of such campus scholars as Cheryl Harris, Robin Kelley, Gay Theresa Johnson, Kelly Lytle Hernandez, Sarah Haley, Scot Brown and others. Bain began teaching in the fall of 2015 in African-American Studies, with a course on "Hip Hop and Spoken Word." The classes in his teachings also include "The Revolutionary Politics and Poetry of Malcolm X" and "Narratives of Change". Described by Cornel West as an artist who "…speaks his truth with a power we desperately need to hear," Bryonn Bain is a hip hop theater innovator, spoken word poetry champion, prison activist, actor and educator. His widely-known theatre productions, "Lyrics from Lockdown" and "What It Iz" critique what race, prisons, poverty and privilege mean in America today and the increasingly visible injustices in the U.S. criminal system.

Former HP rides Hersheypark Rides
Bike Boats at Hersheypark
by Harry Michelson
Hersheypark had a variety of water attractions on Spring Creek over the years. While the park no longer has any (since the end of the 2006 season), this was still a mainstay for many of the years the park has been open.
In 1931, Hersheypark installed a new boat ride called Bike Boats. These were promoted as being a popular ride from Europe. An example of a bike boat can be seen in this stock photo.
Hersheypark advert featuring the Bike Boat From Europe (France, specifically). Published in the Harrisburg Telegraph, July 10, 1931, on page 13.
The image in the advertisement above originates from a photo of a Bike Boat being displayed at the 1930 Los Angeles Boat Show. You can especially see the similarity in the edge of the pool, as well as there being four flags on the Bike Boat.
A photo from the LA Boat Show display of the Bike Boat – the device's debut in the United States. The person in the photo is Kay Miller. Published in The Cincinnati Enquirer, April 11, 1930, on page 10.
Hersheypark purchased the Bike Boats from Bike Boat, Ltd., a New York City-based company. Bike Boats, Ltd., purchased the rights to sell the Bike Boat from Cycles Peugeot, a French manufacturer of bicycles and motorcycles.
A bike boat can be seen in a Curt Teich postcard of Spring Creek.
Curt Teich postcard from 1935, Canoeing and Boating on Spring Creek, #44 in the series of Hersheypark.
When you take a closer look, you can see at least three Bike Boats, one prominently.
Other Curt Teich postcards has a Bike Boat in it. These two are from approximately 1940.

Here's a closer look at the Bike Boat from this postcard. You can see at least one flag is on the boat.
This Curt Teich postcard features the Electric Fountain, the main attraction in the Sunken Garden. On the right side of the Fountain, you can see a Bike Boat.
Here's a closer look at the Bike Boat.
The concept of the ride was pretty much having a bike mounted on water skis. You could propel yourself by peddling and control direction by turning the handlebars. The boats were said to be stable enough on the water to not flip over, so this was a safer option for those concerned about boating on the creek.
Aside from the canoes and rowboats the park had, the Bike Boats were also complimented by another boat ride, Custer Specialty Company Paddle-About, in about 1936. By the end of World War II, it appears that both the Bike Boats and Paddle-About rides were retired, with canoes being the only boats seen in post-war photos of Spring Creek.
Hersheypark wouldn't install another kind of paddle-boat ride until 1982, when the park installed the upcharge ride Paddleboats.

Justia Dockets & Filings Fourth Circuit South Carolina District Court English v. Byars et al Filing 27
English v. Byars et al
ORDER adopting 18 Report and Recommendation. This action is dismissed withoutprejudice and without issuance and service of process. Signed by Honorable Joseph F Anderson, Jr on 4/1/2014.(abuc)
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA Roderick Jerome English, ) ) Plaintiff, ) ) vs. ) ) William R. Byars, Jr.; R. Saltburg; Cheron M. ) Hess; Ann Hallman; Jannita Gaston; ) Christopher Floran; and Bradford Drawlinson, ) ) Defendants. ) ______________________________________ ) C/A No. 1:13-2858-JFA-SVH ORDER The pro se plaintiff, Roderick Jerome English, is an inmate with the South Carolina Department of Corrections (SCDC). He brings this action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 raising various claims of constitutional violations including negligence, loss of good time credit, and denial of prison grievances. The Magistrate Judge assigned to this action1 has prepared a Report and Recommendation and opines that the complaint should be summarily dismissed. The Report sets forth in detail the relevant facts and standards of law on this matter, and the court incorporates such without a recitation. The plaintiff was advised of his right to file objections to the Report and 1 The Magistrate Judge's review is made in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Civil Rule 73.02. The Magistrate Judge makes only a recommendation to this court. The recommendation has no presumptive weight, and the responsibility to make a final determination remains with the court. Mathews v. Weber, 423 U.S. 261 (1976). The court is charged with making a de novo determination of those portions of the Report and Recommendation to which specific objection is made, and the court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, or recommit the matter to the Magistrate Judge with instructions. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Recommendation. His response to the Report merely repeats the claims in his original complaint and provides no specific objection to the Report. In the absence of specific objections to the Report of the Magistrate Judge, this court is not required to give any explanation for adopting the recommendation. See Camby v. Davis, 718 F.2d 198, 199 (4th Cir. 1983). As the Magistrate Judge properly opines, the plaintiff has no constitutional right to be housed in a particular institution; the Constitution creates no entitlement to grievance procedures; and claims of negligence are not actionable under § 1983. After a careful review of the record, the applicable law, and the Report and Recommendation, the court finds the Magistrate Judge's recommendation proper and adopts and incorporates it herein by reference. Accordingly, this action is dismissed without prejudice and without issuance and service of process. IT IS SO ORDERED. Joseph F. Anderson, Jr. United States District Judge April 1, 2014 Columbia, South Carolina 2

Q: How to: Make addition to class property within list I have a List<Presenter> presenterList;
With
public class Presenter(){
  String name;
  String imageRef; // Filename to be downloaded
  Bitmap image;

  (etc...)
}

I'm working with AsyncTask & once the image has downloaded, I wish to go through the list and set Image value to the newly download image.
so far i have
Presenter pres = PresenterList.get(Position);
pres.Image = new (Bitmap) downloadedImageFromImageRef;

however i fear that this will not relate to the Image value of the presenter within the list.
How do i refer, or even assign to the specific Presenter attribute within the list?
From working with C (many years ago), i belive somthing like a pointer to the value in which to assign .Image would work
Thank you in advace

A: Well, if you have C experience, then the thing to know about Java is that it doesn't use pointers, but it does use references. So if I'm understanding your problem correctly, you are already using the Image attribute of a Presenter instance elsewhere and then you want to fill it in later. Assigning pres.Image = new (Bitmap) DownloadedImageFromImageRef; would not work in this case because other objects are looking at a different Bitmap object reference.
What you might need to do is use an observer pattern -- it depends on the details of your problem. Here's an example:
Somewhere in the code I have a class Foo that wants to use the Image property from a Presenter instance. But, since that property isn't set until later, this class wants to be notified when it is ready (it is an observer).
public class Presenter {
  String Name;
  String ImageRef; // Filename to be downloaded
  private Bitmap Image;

  private PresenterImageObserver observer;

  public void setImageObeserver(PresenterImageObserver pio) {
    this.observer = pio;
  }

  public void setImage(Bitmap b) {
    this.Image = b;
    this.observer.imageLoaded(b);
  }
}

public interface PresenterImageObserver {
  public void imageLoaded(Bitmap b);
}

public class Foo implements PresenterImageObserver {
  //Foo's constructor. It wants the image from presenter p, when it is ready
  public Foo(Presenter p) {
    p.setImageObserver(this);
  }

  public void imageLoaded(Bitmap b) {
    //b contains the loaded image and this Foo instance can use it now!
  }
}

You'd need to set the image using pres.setImage(new (Bitmap) downloadedImageFromImageRef);.

A: So you have to find in your list the Presenter for which the correct imageref. You have basically two options.
First, you simply iterate through your list
for (Presenter presenter: presenterList) {
    if (presenter.imageref.equals(imageName) {
        Presenter.image = new Bitmap(downloadedImage);
        break; // found : stop iterations
    }
}

Secondly, you can create a HashMap for your presenters, with the imageref as the key :
HashMap<String, Presenter> map = new HashMap<>();
for (Presenter presenter: presenterList) {
    map.put(presenter.imageref, presenter);
}

Then, you can directly find the right presenter through map.get(imageName)

Climate and Energy News Roundup 1/31/2020
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said on Wednesday that the Fed can help keep climate change from destabilizing U.S. banks and financial markets. The German government approved a bill Wednesday that will codify the country's closure of coal-fired power plants by 2038, defending the plan against critics who say it's not ambitious enough. At Open Democracy, author Simon Pirani argued that decarbonizing the economy will be impossible unless we transform our economic and social systems. Meanwhile, at Yale Environment 360, Prof. David Victor wrote that attaining deep decarbonization will require creating the incentives and markets essential for sparking new technology and businesses. The New York Times published excerpts from panels and speeches on climate change at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
House Democratic leaders rolled out their vision for a $760 billion, five-year infrastructure proposal that places a major emphasis on climate change. According to an article in the Washington Examiner, the major themes of the pending Republican agenda for addressing climate change are capturing CO2, curbing plastic waste, exporting natural gas, and promoting "resilience" or adaptation to sea-level rise and other effects of climate change. At Politico, Zack Coleman and colleagues also wrote about Republican plans. In spite of what they think about climate change, many liberals and conservatives agree on the benefits of renewable energy.
In a clear-eyed essay in MIT Technology Review, James Temple wrote that planting trees is "a limited and unreliable way of addressing climate change." Although people have often discussed increasing the carbon content of soil as one way of fighting climate change, few large-scale programs have been implemented. As discussed by Sarah Wesseler, that now may be about to change because of the actions of some start-ups aiming to pay farmers to sequester carbon. New Jersey will become the first state to require that builders take into account the impact of climate change, including rising sea levels, in order to win government approval for projects. Four Native-American tribes in Louisiana and one in Alaska have filed a formal climate change complaint with the UN, arguing that the U.S. is violating their human rights and not addressing the serious harm climate change is having on their communities. Lawsuits against energy companies in U.S. courts face critical legal challenges.
Social scientists speak of social tipping points, whereby a society's attitudes about a given movement change rapidly after a precipitating incident triggers cascading changes in perceptions. Some climate activists think this provides hope for the climate movement. Now, new research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) constructs a framework for understanding social tipping points and the kinds of interventions that might trigger them.
Climate and Climate Science
The Australian state of New South Wales (NSW) has announced an independent inquiry into the ongoing bushfires, including how climate change, human activity, and other factors had contributed to the blazes. With the increasing frequency, severity, and extent of forest fires, even forests made up of species that thrive on cycles of fire and regrowth are losing resilience.
In a commentary for the journal Nature, Zeke Hausfather and Glen Peters argue against the use of the phrase "business as usual" to describe the RCP8.5 emissions scenario. The pair say emissions as high as in RCP8.5 are "increasingly implausible" and that the scenario, while still useful to study, would be better described as a "worst case". Climate scientist Michael Mann commented on the article on his website. The Capital Weather Gang at The Washington Post released new temperature maps that show where records were broken around the world in each of the past several years. A study published in the journal PLOS One used machine learning to predict where people would move in the U.S. if sea level rose 3 ft and 6 ft, looking at in-migration at the county level. Climatologist Gavin Schmidt has released his annual comparison of modeled and actual mean global temperatures at RealClimate. The models continue to track the real world.
Scientists in Antarctica have recorded unusually warm water (35.6°F) beneath Thwaites glacier at its grounding line, where it transitions from resting wholly on bedrock to spreading out on the sea as ice shelves. A reporter from BBC News accompanied the scientific expedition for part of the time and described what the scientists did and learned.
Climate change may be powering the swarms of desert locusts that have invaded eastern Africa, ravaging crops, decimating pasture, and deepening a hunger crisis, experts on locusts and climate said. The world's tropical forests are losing their ability to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, while boreal forests are absorbing emissions at an increasingly fast rate, a study published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution finds. Furthermore, A perfect storm of climate change, extreme weather, and pressure from human activity is threatening to collapse Earth's most biodiverse ecosystems, according to a new study published in the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B. This is particularly important because indigenous lands and protected areas in the Amazon contribute far less to climate change than the rest of the rainforest since they account for only 10% of carbon emissions while covering 52% of the region, a study in PNAS shows. Likewise, in Africa indigenous groups battle to maintain control over their lands.
In case you have friends who still maintain that climate change is due to the sun, try showing them the graphs in this article from The Conversation. A study, published Monday in PNAS, detected a pattern that links Arctic sea ice decline since the late 1990s with more frequent El Niños in the Central Pacific Ocean. Research published Monday in Nature Communications found that marine heat off the coast of California led to a change in forage species, which caused whales to move closer to shore and into fishing grounds, causing more whale entanglements in nets. A study published in the journal Science of the Total Environment found that acidity in the Pacific Ocean is affecting the shells of Dungeness crab larvae, making them more vulnerable to predators and limiting shell effectiveness in supporting the growth of muscles.
According to a new report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the amount of CO2 the U.S. adds to the atmosphere each year is projected to begin rising by the 2030s and by 2050 emissions are expected to be just 4% below 2019 levels. Carbon Tracker warns that the oil industry is at risk of a global market shock that could halve the value of fossil fuel investments if governments delay setting policies to tackle the climate crisis and must abruptly change their policies.
Nicholas Kusnetz of Inside Climate News took a comprehensive look at methane leakage from the oil and gas industry as he addressed the question of whether natural gas can be part of a climate change solution. Australia's government plans to boost natural gas supply and renewable energy as part of a $1.4 billion deal with New South Wales, its most populous state. It will upgrade parts of the east coast power grid, help pay for two new interstate transmission links, and back emissions reduction projects.
The Canadian firm Svante and the Swiss company Climeworks AG have a new "joint development agreement" to pilot the combination of the former's industrial CO2 capture system alongside the latter's direct air capture technology.
Texas accounted for more than a quarter of all corporate renewable energy deals signed around the world last year. Denmark-based energy company Ørsted has agreed to lease a portion of the Portsmouth Marine Terminal from the Virginia Port Authority to stage materials and equipment for Dominion Energy's offshore wind project. The world's first commercial-scale green-hydrogen plant to be powered solely by surplus offshore wind energy has been announced by a trio of Belgian companies. Meanwhile, in England, green-hydrogen is being injected into a small natural gas grid in a test of the concept of mixing hydrogen and methane.
Electrical grid congestion costs consumers billions of dollars and is hampering renewable energy deployment. However, Hudson Gilmer, co-founder and CEO of LineVision Inc., says that his company has demonstrated that there's additional capacity in our existing grid that can be unlocked by using dynamic line rating technology.
By embracing climate science and presenting it in a simple, locally-relevant manner, TV meteorologists have become some of the most effective and trustworthy climate change educators in the country. Journalist Nina Burleigh wrote lovingly of the beauty and fragility of the Everglades in a time of climate change and sea level rise; the accompanying photos by Erik Freeland are spectacular. Michael Svoboda has compiled information on 16 books about "life in the Anthropocene". If you are interested in talking about climate change to business people, you might benefit from this interview with climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe at Harvard Business Review. At Fast Company, Adele Peters imagined what work might be like in 2040 when the global average temperature is 1.5°C above preindustrial times and Kristin Toussaint visited a Singapore apartment to see what life might be like in a hotter future. Steve Mnuchin's wife, Scottish actress Louise Linton, defended Greta Thunberg on Instagram, but the post was deleted without explanation about 30 minutes after it appeared.

The Elders deplore US Embassy move to Jerusalem as threat to peace

The Elders strongly criticised the US decision to move its Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem as a serious blow to peace between Israelis and Palestinians, and urged other countries not to follow suit.
"Unilateral action on the part of the Trump Administration only makes the prospect of a negotiated settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict more distant." –Lakhdar Brahimi

The Elders today strongly criticised the US decision to move its Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem as a serious blow to peace between Israelis and Palestinians, and urged other countries not to follow suit.
They reaffirmed their long-held position that the city of Jerusalem must be shared between Israelis and Palestinians as part of a two-state solution based on the internationally-recognised 1967 border, which respects the human and political rights of all its residents.
Kofi Annan, Chair of The Elders and former UN Secretary-General, said:
"Repeated UN resolutions make clear that the status of Jerusalem can only be changed by agreement between the parties, and then endorsed by the United Nations. Today's ceremonial opening of the new US Embassy in Jerusalem is regrettable and makes it harder to maintain the prospect of a viable two-state solution."
The Elders urged the governments of those countries reportedly contemplating following the US not to do so. Such moves would damage further dwindling prospects for realisation of the two-state solution. By contrast, they noted that though Russia has relocated its Embassy to West Jerusalem, this does not imply Israeli jurisdiction over the whole city and also envisages establishing an Embassy to a future Palestinian state in East Jerusalem.
Lakhdar Brahimi, Elder, former Algerian Foreign Minister and UN diplomat, commented:
"Unilateral action on the part of the Trump Administration only makes the prospect of a negotiated settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict more distant. Peace will only come when all parties are treated with respect, their rights and grievances acknowledged, and negotiations are undertaken in good faith."

The Elders condemn US recognition of Jerusalem as Israeli capital as grave risk to peace
The Elders condemn US President Donald Trump's unilateral decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel as a grave threat to peace across the Middle East.
Jerusalem is at the heart of the problem – and of the solution
After the Elders' visit to Jerusalem, Mary Robinson argues that the severe hardships affecting the city's Palestinian residents makes an overall solution to the conflict less likely.
The changing face of East Jerusalem
During their trip to the Middle East in October 2010, the Elders visited East Jerusalem where they met Palestinian residents and joined a weekly demonstration in Sheikh Jarrah.

Rev. Wright Row Will Pass Soon
Dick Morris Tuesday, 18 March 2008 08:23 PM
Will the Gospel According to Jeremiah Wright sink the Obama candidacy? Not very likely.
Let's start with two basic facts:
1. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has already won the Democratic nomination. It's over. Regardless of how the remaining primaries and caucuses go, including Michigan and even Florida, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) can never catch Obama in elected delegates.
His current lead of 170 pledged delegates will not be overcome no matter what happens. Even if Clinton beats him by 10 points in each of these primaries, he will still lead among elected delegates by over 100. The superdelegates will not override the will of the voters unless Obama is in jail. They will not let themselves in for a civil war by overruling a black man who is beloved by the young by going over the heads of the electorate and naming the candidate that lost the primaries as the nominee.
Regardless of how damaged Obama may be by the Wright tapes, it will not provide sufficient cover or cause for them to do so.
2. Wright's rantings are not reflective of Obama's views on anything. Why did he stay in the church? Because he's a black Chicago politician who comes from a mixed marriage and went to Columbia and Harvard. Suspected of not being black enough or sufficiently tied to the minority community, he needed the networking opportunities Wright afforded him in his church to get elected. If he had not risen to the top of Chicago black politics, we would never have heard of him. But obviously, he can't say that. So what should he say?
He needs to get out of this mess with subtlety, the kind Bill Clinton should have used to escape the Monica Lewinsky scandal — but didn't. As the controversy continues, Americans will gradually realize that Obama stuck by Wright as part of a need to get ahead. They will chalk up to pragmatism why he was so close to such a preacher. As they come to realize that Obama doesn't agree with Wright but used him to get started, they will be more forgiving.
While he lets this fact sink in, he needs to continue to distance himself from Wright by characterizing that kind of anger and animosity as a thing of a generation past. He needs to compare the progress of which whites are proud in discarding the racism of our forebears with his own pride at being a post-racial candidate. He needs, again and again, to reject what Wright says and emphasize his belief in America and the validity and morality of the American Dream.
As the controversy matures, he can increasingly depict those who fan its flames as trying to live in the past and re-fight the civil wars of race that have divided America.
All these themes were evident and articulately presented in Obama's Tuesday speech on race.
What Obama needs not to do is to resort to the kind of Clintonian fudging that animated his interview with Keith Olbermann. By saying "I wasn't there" and "I didn't know" and "I didn't hear him say it," he will invite contempt and derision. If he were to continue in that vein, he would buy himself a controversy akin to that which drowned John Kerry in the facts and allegations of his service in Vietnam. People will surface to say, "I sat next to him, and Wright said such and such," and Obama will be hostage to everybody's subjective memory.
But if he handles the situation with subtlety and lets what he cannot say — that it was opportunism that led him to stay in that church — sink in among the electorate, he can and will survive this battle.
And let's remember one other thing: The Democrats will increasingly realize that he will be their nominee and, in continuing this battle, they are eating their own.

At Crawford Chiropractic, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic care to each and every patient. We have included information below about the different chiropractic services offered in our Champaign chiropractic office, but please call us at 217-398-2225 if you have any questions!
In an era when more and more chiropractors are utilizing "state of the art" gadgets to perform chiropractic adjustments, Dr. Brian Crawford primarily utilizes manual adjusting and drop-table techniques. The very techniques taught to him at the esteemed Palmer College of Chiropractic. Techniques that have been effective for over a hundred years and remain effective today. Dr. Brian Crawford has years of training, expertise, and experience in providing the highly effective Palmer Method in helping patients get relief from back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other related conditions originating from the spine.
It is Dr. Crawford's opinion that the "missing ingredient" from most treatment protocols for musculoskeletal ailments is proper corrective exercises. Many types of pain such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches are caused by muscles and tissue that are being used improperly, causing injuries over time. The continual accumulation of these small injuries, which we call microtraumas, is often the cause of chronic pain that responds well to chiropractic manipulation only to have the pain return again and again. At Crawford Chiropractic, we focus on the basics of proper "core" conditioning and muscle control through targeted corrective exercises and stretches to not only help you get out of pain but also to stay out of pain.
What does nutrition have to do with chiropractic care? Well, did you know that the very foods you eat can create a pro-inflammatory state within your body? The goal of chiropractic care is to help patients achieve total health and balance with their body, and as part of that goal, we provide specific recommendations on healthy food choices. Nutritional counseling by Dr. Crawford can assist a patient on their return to optimal health. This is especially important for chronic pain patients when every little bit of help in reducing inflammation can make the difference between misery and tolerable. And if weight loss is something you desire, Dr. Crawford's Revitalize Weight Loss Program can help you achieve your goals. Dr. Crawford has helped hundreds of clients lose thousands of pounds as an Ideal Protein Authorized Clinic.
Massage therapy does more than make you feel good, it can actually help your body achieve balance and health. Massage therapy offers a natural treatment approach that actually relieves musculoskeletal pain for many patients. Our chiropractic office provides specific massage and muscular therapy that is complementary to their chiropractic care. Each massage therapy plan is tailored to meet the patient's unique pain condition or injury. The benefits of massage therapy may include the increase of blood circulation, a localized reduction in swelling, and the relaxation of muscles. Massage has been known to relieve muscle pain and spasms, increase a patient's range of motion, and aide in a patient's recovery. Some investigative studies have even indicated that a single session of massage may help boost your immune system!

Paraklet (griech. παράκλητος paráklētos, lat. paracletus) ist ein mehrfach im Johannes-Evangelium verwendeter Begriff, der in der christlichen Theologie gewöhnlich mit dem Heiligen Geist identifiziert wird.

Begriffsgeschichte
Das altgriechische Wort παρακαλεῖν bedeutet "herbeirufen", "einladen"; παρακαλεῖσθαι (Medium) heißt "trösten"; der Paraklet ("παράκλητος") ist also der "Herbeigerufene" und der "Tröster". Im nicht-religiösen Bereich erscheint das Wort als juristischer Terminus technicus in der Bedeutung "vorgeladen" (adj.) bzw. "Anwalt" (subst.) oder als "Vermittler, Fürsprecher".

Biblischer Befund

Im Johannesevangelium nennt Jesus den Heiligen Geist "den Parakleten", der von Gott herkommt, den er, Jesus Christus, seinen Jüngern senden wird, um sie zu ermutigen in Schwierigkeiten, um für sie zu sprechen, um sie zum Ziel zu bringen. Ebenso ist es der Heilige Geist, der die Menschen mit Gott verbindet, sie zur Erkenntnis Gottes und des Erlösungswerkes in Jesus Christus, zu reuiger Selbsterkenntnis und zur Hoffnung führt (vgl. Joh ; ; ; ).

Im 1. Brief des Johannes wird Jesus Christus selbst als "παράκλητος" (Paraklet) bezeichnet ().

Übersetzungen
Martin Luther übersetzte den Begriff mit "Tröster", was zu seiner Zeit noch stärker als heute Ermutigung für Entmutigte bedeutete. Die auf Ulrich Zwingli und seine Mitarbeiter zurückgehende Zürcher Bibel übersetzt "Beistand", ebenso die katholische Einheitsübersetzung, die bei der Deutschen Bibelgesellschaft erschienene BasisBibel und die in einigen Freikirchen verwendete Elberfelder Bibel. Andere Übersetzungen wie die Neue Genfer Übersetzung sprechen auch von "Helfer" oder "Stellvertreter".

Im Zusammenhang des 1. Johannesbriefs wird der Begriff von der Vulgata mit "advocatus" übersetzt, in den deutschen Übersetzungen erscheint er als "Anwalt", "Beistand" oder "Fürsprecher".

Außerchristliche Deutungen
Mehrere frühchristliche Sekten oder andere Religionen aus dem jüdisch-christlichen Umfeld wie etwa die Manichäer sahen im Parakleten eine menschliche Figur, meist den jeweiligen Sektengründer.

Islam
Im Islam wird die biblische Ankündigung des Parakleten als Hinweis auf den Propheten Mohammed gesehen.

Dies stützt sich nicht auf biblische Lesarten, ließe sich aber erklären, wenn man anstatt παρακλητος (paraklētos) das Wort περικλυτος (periklytos = der Hochgepriesene) gelesen hätte, was sich arabisch als Ahmad wiedergeben lässt. Diese Vermutung wurde schon von Ludovico Marracci (1612–1700) aufgestellt. Der Konvertit Muhammad Asad meint sogar explizit, der parakletos des Johannesevangeliums sei eine Entstellung von periklytos, welches wiederum eine genaue Übersetzung des (zu Lebzeiten Jesu in Palästina gebräuchlichen) aramäischen Ausdrucks und Namens Mauhamana sein soll. Demzufolge ließe sich der Periklytos mit den Namen Muhammad und Ahmad, beides Ableitungen des arabischen Verbs hamida ("er pries") bzw. des Nomens hamd ("Preis"), passend übersetzen.

Der Koran paraphrasiert in  Sure 61:6 das Johannes-Evangelium (15,23–16,1) jedenfalls wie folgt:

Noch weiter geht die Prophetenbiographie (Sīra) des Ibn Ishāq (gest. 767):

Religionswissenschaft
René Girard versucht, unter Rückgriff auf die griechische Bedeutung des Wortes Paraklet als eines Verteidigers bzw. Anwalts den Begriff des Heiligen Geistes im Johannesevangelium anthropologisch zu deuten. So sei der Paraklet der Verteidiger der Opfer, deren Unschuld er offenbar mache und damit dem Mechanismus des Sündenbocks der archaischen Religionen ein Ende setze. In dieser Funktion sei er die Gegenpartei Satans, des öffentlichen Anklägers, der die Einmütigkeit der Gemeinschaft gegen das Opfer herstelle. Girard möchte in diesem Sinne den "Erlöser" des Buches Hiob () als Vorläufer des Parakleten deuten (Ich weiß, dass mir ein 'Anwalt' lebt).
