Considering the shenanigans taking place in Washington, DC at the moment, the man who appears to be our sanest legislator has announced his resignation.
Seven-term Congressman David Wu (D-Oregon) is stepping down after being accused of engaging in "aggressive and unwanted sexual behavior" with the 18 year-old daughter of a longtime friend and campaign contributor.
The former lawyer, who inexplicably sent the above photograph to staffers weeks before his re-election last November (who immediately attempted to steer him into a psychiatric hospital, to no avail), will leave office "upon the resolution of the debt ceiling crisis."
Roll Call's Neda Semnani has compiled David Wu's five weirdest moments for our (reasonably uncomfortable) enjoyment:
5. In 2007, Wu gave a speech on the floor urging Americans not to "let faux Klingons send real Americans to war."
4. In October 2010, he admitted to using painkillers and accepting two oxycodone tablets from a donor just months after he told his Democratic colleagues that he had stopped drinking.
3. In February 2011, he sent an email to his staff posing as his middle-school-aged daughter and another posing as his son.
2. He sent a picture of himself wearing a tiger suit to his staff.
1. After staging two interventions, at least six of his most loyal staff members quit en masse in a last-ditch effort to urge him into treatment. They were so concerned about his mental health that they even researched available beds in psychiatric facilities in the Pacific Northwest.
But wait -- there's more!
The Atlantic Wire's Elspeth Reeve has put together her own collection of Wu antics, some of which Semnani neglected to include (with so much nuts, it's kinda hard to fit it all in).
One gem from last fall:
October 29, 2010: A traveler files a complaint with the Transportation Security Administration after Wu manages to convince a TSA employee let him into a restricted area of the Portland airport to try to convince de-planing passengers to vote for him. The outburst was followed two days later by an episode at Portland International Airport, where Wu used his influence as a member of Congress to enter a restricted area and campaign for votes from off-loading passengers.
Good thing he'll be sticking around to see the debt ceiling issue through -- we wouldn't want to rely on any other current legislators to get this one right.

When it comes to health, kidneys are critical. From regulating blood composition to maintaining calcium levels, the pair of bean-shaped organs perform several essential tasks. Needless to say, interruption to kidney function can be disastrous.
Working with scientists in South Korea, researchers at the University of Virginia found a surprisingly simple treatment for renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in mice, which is a model of acute kidney injury (AKI) in humans.
The researchers found that mice exposed to ultrasound prior to IRI "had preserved kidney structure and function accompanied by a reduction in tissue inflammation," they report in their paper published this month in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.

SUMMARY: Megabranding can be an effective strategy for marketers to drive growth and efficiency from power brands across related product categories under the right conditions. Executing the strategy successfully involves careful understanding of the brand's specific equity and leveraging it for competitive advantage with robust marketing support.
|Many are attempting to produce greater efficiency from fewer brands...
Do more with less—the mantra being echoed in both businesses and homes. In today's retail marketplace, increased fragmentation, shrinking store footprints, rising commodity costs, and stretched consumers are creating unique pressures on branded products. As marketers create business plans to address these issues, many also are attempting to produce greater efficiency from fewer brands. This gives rise to the notion of "megabranding" as a way to economize costs and grow broader, stronger franchises that are more resilient to these forces.
Cross-over consumption
Megabranding is when a brandmark is applied across multiple product extensions and flankers that satisfy a variety of consumer needs across different categories. For example, Clorox is considered a megabrand because the broad use of the brand stretches across laundry, home cleaning/disinfecting and small durables. On the other hand, while Coca-Cola is a global powerhouse brand, it has predominant representation in the carbonated soft drinks category alone.
Good practice
Marketers are considering megabrand strategies to increase marketing and operational efficiency across a number of potential fronts:
Sustainable competitive advantage
While operational efficiencies are vital, the consumer issues related to megabranding are just as important. The first step to crafting a winning megabrand strategy and creating sustainable competitive advantage is understanding the brand's unique equity. Misreading the brand's meaning is the biggest strategic error in megabranding. Brands that fail to meaningfully connect with consumers as they migrate into new categories can lead to disastrous outcomes. We believe Gatorade's failed 2001 attempt to extend into meal bars is a good example of misread equity. In consumers' minds, Gatorade likely represented "hydration" rather than "nutrition" or "performance" and did not form a solid link to the meal-bar category.
|Misreading the brand's meaning is the biggest strategic error in megabranding...
Most brands lack distinctive, specific perceptions and do not differentiate on the basis of unique attributes or associations. Brands may be well known and have generally positive overall perceptions relative to competitors, but these more general perceptions are usually not a sufficient strategic rationale for cross-category extension. For this reason, many brands do not have a strong opportunity for generating competitive advantage from megabranding.
The basic foundation of successful megabranding starts with identifying a unique and ownable equity for the brand. Executing the strategy successfully involves understanding how the brand's unique equity can be relevant and leveraged for a competitive advantage.
Unique relevance
Brands produce value for consumers in a variety of ways. First, strong brands help to establish credibility with the customer. Well-known brands can do this if the brand's equity is relevant to the destination category. At a higher level, impactful megabranding strategies leverage perceptions that are specific to the brand in a way that enhances consumer value.
|The equity must bring a unique benefit...
Successful megabrands are built on a foundation of "unique relevance"—identifying a consumer benefit that can be transferred to build competitive advantage in another category. Beyond being well-known, the equity must bring a unique benefit to the destination category. Three case studies illustrate the point:
Persuasive actions
When marketers seek viable options for exporting a megabrand into an adjacency, rarely do they find opportunities to improve delivery on current primary consumer needs. Instead, destinations for megabrand equities often call for "activating" a secondary consumer need. That is, elevating the role of a less critical need to a more influential role on consumer purchasing decisions. Successful megabranding often is the result of activating needs that were less influential because no brand was currently focused on that need. Brands that succeed have a strong core strategy and a sizeable marketing investment to energize this shift in consumer thinking and behavior.
|Brands that succeed have a strong core strategy...
Clorox capitalized on the sustainability trend when it activated the eco-friendly driver in home cleaning with its 2008 introduction of Green Works. Being the first mainstream brand to get a substantial portion of the market to think differently, Green Works generated significantly higher volume than the leader in this segment and helped grow the environmental cleaning category 40% in its first year.
Credibility carries clout
Big names carry weight and can also do wonders when introduced into underdeveloped markets and segments just by lending credibility to the mix. For example, the fledgling brand Clean Shower was slowly building the daily shower cleaner category in the late 1990s when Tilex, Scrubbing Bubbles and Lysol entered the fray, which instantly legitimized the category for consumers and volume responded. While the expected return from this basic strategy may be modest, it can be executed quicker and with less risk.
|Find the specific equity and how it is relevant and transferable...
Brands with strong sales are good potential candidates for extension and megabranding, but this is not necessarily the most critical factor. A strong and specific equity may be the more important issue for creating a megabrand platform. The key is to find the specific equity and how it is relevant and transferable to a different category. Sometimes big brands do not have the flexibility for megabranding, but smaller brands might.
For example, Mr. Clean was a relatively small brand in the U.S. through 2002, selling dilutable cleaners with a 10% share of the market. But the brand had broad awareness and recognition, a strong cleaning equity, and an iconic visual equity. When Procter & Gamble launched Mr. Clean Magic Eraser in 2003, it leveraged its equity to establish credibility for this novel product.
Invest for growth
The fact is, megabranding programs are typically only as effective as their marketing support. Most marketers do not employ megabranding as just an efficiency play. Rather, they view it as an opportunity to grow volume and share. While there is no single support strategy that fits all cases, it is clear that most marketers have devoted substantial marketing support to capitalize on megabranding initiatives.
|Most successful megabrand strategies do not place great weight on family messaging...
As support is allocated, we believe in most cases that dedicated support for the adjacent extension is important. There is a logical attraction to brand-family communication strategies given the potential for marketing efficiencies. However, most successful megabrand strategies that we have examined do not place great weight on family messaging. In most cases, a critical need exists to educate and convince consumers about the megabrand's relevance in the adjacency. Family messaging may play a role later in the megabrand's evolution, but in the introductory time period, more focused support should usually be the priority.
Occasionally, a megabrand strategy is implemented as a swapout of an existing equity for a megabrand. In this case, a co-branded approach is wise. A timely example exists in dish care, where Reckitt-Benckiser is replacing Jet-Dry for the Finish brand on its rinse aids, and also converting its Electrasol detergent to the Finish franchise. As the Finish branding is implemented, there is a visible co-branding for at least an introductory period and a healthy level of media support for the megabrand. This approach provides clarity for Jet Dry and Electrasol consumers.
|Understand what the brand represents in consumers' minds...
Distinct direction
Megabranding can be a successful strategy for generating marketing and operational efficiencies as well as overall brand growth; however, to realize these advantages, the strategy must be carefully navigated. A successful strategy requires that the manufacturer clearly understands what the brand represents in consumers' minds and makes the right choices on how the brand's unique equity can be relevant to the category and leveraged for a competitive advantage.
Successful megabranding also requires a commitment to support the brand as it works to extend itself into new categories. When a manufacturer can identify the right equity, leverage it in a relevant category in a meaningful way, and vigorously support the initiative, the ingredients are in place to turn a megabranding strategy into a megasuccess.

How My Travelling began?
I was once an introvert, enduring the British weather and over-familiar with the route from school to home and to the shops. Then I finished law-school, got a job and a camera too!
Most people prefer to take a year off work (or studies) to travel, but I believe you don't have to compromise, as I do both.
How did I work and travel?
I utilize all the public/bank holidays and often add two days to weekends to give me enough time to enjoy my stay. If like me you live in the UK, European countries are 3hrs or less away by plane, so few days are often more than enough.
My favorite trip
Greek Island hopping is one of my favorite trips. Wait! Before I go further into that trip, Venice is my favorite place, it holds great memories and is just perfect. I spent almost two weeks in Greece and visited Athens > Santorini > Paros > Ios > Mykonos > Delos. And just recently I visited Crete. Maybe I belong in Greece, you should go out there too.
What to pack
It is very important to pack light when travelling, I have never checked in a luggage. Most of our Fro hair products are currently not made for the 100ml cabin bag liquid restrictions, lets face it, we need more than 100ml conditioner for this fabulous Fro ha. You can buy clear cabin bottles, and fill it up with your favorite hair food. I often mix my oil and moisturizer to save space. This means I can have two or more bottles of absolute goodness.
Dry Hair Tips
Moisturize and seal with oil. Braid or twist your hair to lock in moisture as your night routine. When I am lazy, I put it in a bun. Cover your hair with silk scarf before you sleep on it. If your hair is still very dry, consider changing your moisturizer, as it may not be for your hair type/texture.
Fro Styles
Most people prefer a simple, manageable hairstyle for travelling. I just like to let the Fro fly. It is not as hard to maintain as you think. Every night, moisturize, oil (I use black castor oil/coconut oil) and braid/twist. The humidity often leaves my Fro soft, so I don't even need to detangle or comb it. I section hair into 6 and braid, and that takes 10 minutes. If you haven't learnt the trick of braiding/twist just yet, use a hair band.
How to afford regular breaks
I travel to learn, enjoy the culture and live like a local, and that doesn't cost much. Last minute deals website and airlines offers all-inclusive holidays (flight and hotel) for as little as £99. You don't need new clothes, shoes or accessories. All you really need is your booking confirmation, your phone/camera, passport and pocket money to eat from the local shops. Go on and fly with the Fro.
I know you have so many questions right about now, so I will stop talking and take your questions. Don't be shy! Type below.

New rancour, tough talk in aggressive Clinton-Sanders Democratic debate
Sanders wins Sunday's Maine caucuses, but is losing the most delegate-rich states
Ratcheting up the rancour, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders tangled aggressively in a presidential debate Sunday night over trade and Wall Street influence, with Clinton accusing her challenger of turning his back on a rescue of the auto industry and Sanders countering that Clinton's friends on Wall Street had "destroyed this economy."
- Ted Cruz cements his place as Trump alternative
- Cruz wins two states in 'Super Saturday,' blunting Donald Trump's momentum
- Clinton's drawl, Trump's 'yuuge' N.Y. accent and campaign 'code-switching'
- Bernie Sanders makes his run at stopping the Clinton juggernaut
It was a marked change in tone for the two Democrats, signaling Sanders' increasingly difficult effort to slow the Democratic front-runner. Both candidates frequently interrupted and talked over one another, accusing each other of misrepresenting the other's record.
"Let's have some facts instead of some rhetoric for a change," Clinton snapped at Sanders at one point.
"Let me tell my story, you tell yours," Sanders shot back at another. "Your story is voting for every disastrous trade amendment and voting for corporate America."
More than once, Sanders chafed at Clinton's interruptions, saying, "Excuse me, I'm talking" or "Let me finish, please."
Their disagreements were clear, but still the debate's tone was nothing like that of the Republican debate in Detroit just three days earlier, a four-way faceoff that was marked by a steady stream of personal attacks, insults and even sexual innuendo. The Democrats' faceoff, in comparison, was a more civil if heated affair.
Clinton accused the Vermont senator of voting against a 2009 bailout of the auto industry, saying, "I went with them. You did not. If everybody had voted the way he did, I believe the auto industry would have collapsed, taking 4 million jobs with it."
Sanders countered that the money for the auto industry was part of a larger bailout package for Wall Street, adding, "I will be damned if it was the working people of this country who have to bail out the crooks on Wall Street." He referred to the overall package as "the Wall Street bailout where some of your friends destroyed this economy."
Ultimately, President George W. Bush and Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson agreed to a $23.4 billion US for the auto industry from the federal bailout money for the financial sector.
Sanders also took direct aim at the former secretary of state's paid speeches to Wall Street banks and other financial companies. She promised to release transcripts of her private remarks only if all her opponents — Democratic and Republican — did the same.
"I'm your Democratic opponent, I release it," Sanders said, throwing imaginary speech transcripts into the air. "Here it is. There ain't nothin'. I don't give speeches to Wall street for hundreds of thousands of dollars."
Both call for Michigan governor's resignation
The debate started on a more conciliatory note, with Clinton joining Sanders in calling for Michigan's Republican governor to resign over his handling of the Flint water crisis.
- Meet the sole resident of the world's largest abandoned building in Michigan
- Detroit comeback making life pricier for long-time city residents
- 5 individuals dealing with Flint's water crisis
- Flint water crisis: 6 things to know about the toxic taps
Flint's water became tainted when officials switched its supply from Detroit's system to the Flint River in 2014 to save money. The impoverished city's government was under state control at the time.
An emotional Sanders said he felt "literally shattered" by the toxic tap water in Flint and renewed his call for Gov. Rick Snyder to resign.
Clinton, who had not previously made that call, added emphatically: "Amen to that," and then said that Snyder should "resign or be recalled."
Clinton had previously made it a point to frame the crisis in the majority-black city in racial terms, saying it never would have taken so long to address the problem in a wealthy, white area.
Both candidates promised tougher federal oversight of water systems if elected. And, asked if anyone should go to jail, both called for holding people accountable at every level of government.
Snyder quickly tweeted that "political candidates" will be leaving Flint and Michigan in a few days after the state's primary but he is "committed to the people of Flint."
In a few days, political candidates will be leaving Flint and Michigan.—@onetoughnerd
They will not be staying to help solve the crisis, but I am committed to the people of Flint.—@onetoughnerd
Crucial Midwestern primaries coming up
With Clinton continuing to widen her considerable lead in the Democratic delegate count, Sanders sees upcoming Midwestern primaries as a crucial opportunity to slow her momentum by highlighting his trade policies. After Michigan's vote on Tuesday, the March 15 primaries include Ohio, Illinois and Missouri.
Just as the debate got underway, Sanders received the welcome news that he had won the Democratic caucuses in Maine, not far from his home state of Vermont. That gives him victories in eight states to 11 wins for Clinton. But the more lopsided delegate count suggests Clinton is on a steady march toward the nomination. Sanders has struggled to broaden his appeal beyond the liberals and young voters attracted to his campaign.
Clinton has at least 1,130 delegates to Sanders' 499, including superdelegates -- members of Congress, governors and party officials who can support the candidate of their choice. It takes 2,383 delegates to win the nomination.

Two weeks ago, I went to West End Library for the sake of borrowing a non-fiction book titled "Comic Art Propaganda". Instead, I left the library borrowing one extra item, Donald Duck comic (there is nothing wrong with it, right?).
At the check-out terminal, a librarian with a FastBack book smiled and greeted me.
'Hi, how are you doing?'
'(I'm) Good'
'That's good.'
Now, now, don't conclude that it's the end of the story. After I got my borrowed items receipt, I quickly moved aside to let a woman queueing behind me to check-out her items. The friendly librarian also greeted the lady. Either the woman started the conversation or the librarian vent about her work.
The librarian job for the day was to remove all FastBack stickers on the no-longer-FastBack books property of Brisbane City Council allocated for West End Library. An example of FastBack book is given below.
George Negus' The World from Down Under
There were two stacks of FastBack items with at least 20 books in one stack. Seems easy? Well, for the librarian she must not destroy the plastic cover. No chemical solvents used to speed up her work. And as any librarian would have known, shelve the books back. Not forget to mention, there are three stickers in each FastBack item; in front, on the side and at the back. Enjoy your work!
Oh, remember, each city council libraries' books are always updated and that means every time a new item comes, a FastBack sticker will usually be given depending on demand.
This is just another library story brought to you by myself. Self-conclusion depends on you as the reader.

It's taken a little while to get this blog up and running, but now that it's all set up we can start communicating with each other and making things happen. Each initiative that is currently active or in the process of being set up has a separate page where you can comment and connect with the group's members and/or leaders. Each initiative will be having training sessions and/or events in the coming months so please keep an eye out for announcements. More specifically, we will be merging with a group of students at U of T (mainly CARSSU – the Caribbean Studies Student Union and ESSU – the Equity Studies Student Union) who organized an event last term concerning climate change and climate justice. They will be holding another one at the beginning of February at which each Food Justice initiative will have a space to discuss and gain new members and at which a speaker and discussion surrounding Food Justice will be featured. Let me know if there are any problems with the blog or if you have any questions. Please contribute and spread the word far and wide!
So we finally have a blog! please contribute!

The most famous and enduring of all Jewish legends is that of the golem, the artificial man. Indeed, with the possible exception of the demon Lilith, briefly pressed into service as a feminist icon, the golem remains the only post-biblical Jewish myth to be widely adopted by non-Jewish culture. Among its recent incarnations are a computer game that bears its name and the army of humanoids who populate James Cameron's film Avatar.
The roots of the legend are ancient: the Talmud claims that Adam himself—and thus, theologically speaking, all of humanity—was a golem until God breathed a soul into his nostrils. But the creature as we know it today has a much later and remarkably precise genealogy. He was born in late-16th-century Prague under the auspices of Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel, known as the Maharal, who, using kabbalistic magic, is said to have created a humanoid creature out of mud or clay to defend the Jews from their enemies.

S: I'm going to have to run as fast as I can to work off all the gingerbread cookies I've eaten over the past few days. Zach's mom and her friend came to visit us over the weekend and we made gingerbread cookies. Most of them have made their way to our bellies by now, but we managed to take a few photos first.
Zach got really creative with his cookies...
Stocking turned Grinch
Z: My goals as a gingerbread cookie artist lie in the evolution of appearances away from the banality of culinary anthropomorphisms and into a whimsical yet ephemeral distortion of the breaded cookie that results in the evocation of holiday cheer. These lofty and esoteric goals were accomplished with much laborious soul searching and turning a stocking into the grinch, a snowman into a holiday shark, and a gingerbread man into rudolph. Note the transformations above and be moved to Christmas joy by a food product.
S: And of course our gingerbread namesakes, made by Zach's mom. Gingerboy Zach lost an arm somewhere along the way. And this is Cartman's cousin Ponyo that I made:
Z: In case you didn't know: Ponyo wants ham.

Vehicles with heavily modified suspensions that see significant Track use may benefit from very aggressive alignment specifications. While these alignments may give better performance on the race track, they are not advised for street use as they can cause extreme tire wear.
When aligning these kinds of vehicles, we can also Index the suspension. Often these vehicles have adjustable camber/caster plates and arms that the vehicle owner can adjust. By Indexing the suspension, we essentially mark certain points on the adjustable components that correspond to certain alignment specifications. This allows these vehicles to run the aggressive settings while at the track and then adjust the suspension back to a street setup once they are done at the track.
Short bulb life is a problem common among the taillights of German vehicles. Many times the issue comes down to the material of the replacement bulbs. From the factory, most German vehicles are equiped with Nickel based bulbs, while most replacement bulbs avilable in the US use a brass base. This difference in material can lead to excessive heat in the bulb and bulb socket and will shorten the life span of the brass bulb. Additionally, the brass based bulbs can cause damage to the bulb sockets themselves. Our Taillight Bulb Service replaces all of the bulbs in your taillights with the correct, nickel based bulbs as well as cleaning the actual sockets to prevent any issues.

Friday after the Third Sunday after Trinity Sunday
Scripture: 2 Samuel 16-18 (NKJV)
16:1 When David was a little past the top of the mountain, there was Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth, who met him with a couple of saddled donkeys, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, one hundred clusters of raisins, one hundred summer fruits, and a skin of wine.
2 And the king said to Ziba, "What do you mean to do with these?"
So Ziba said, "The donkeys are for the king's household to ride on, the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine for those who are faint in the wilderness to drink."
3 Then the king said, "And where is your master's son?"
And Ziba said to the king, "Indeed he is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, 'Today the house of Israel will restore the kingdom of my father to me.'"
4 So the king said to Ziba, "Here, all that belongs to Mephibosheth is yours."
And Ziba said, "I humbly bow before you, that I may find favor in your sight, my lord, O king!"
5 Now when King David came to Bahurim, there was a man from the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei the son of Gera, coming from there. He came out, cursing continuously as he came. 6 And he threw stones at David and at all the servants of King David. And all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left. 7 Also Shimei said thus when he cursed: "Come out! Come out! You bloodthirsty man, you rogue! 8 The LORD has brought upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned; and the LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son. So now you are caught in your own evil, because you are a bloodthirsty man!"
9 Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please, let me go over and take off his head!"
10 But the king said, "What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? So let him curse, because the LORD has said to him, 'Curse David.' Who then shall say, 'Why have you done so?'"
11 And David said to Abishai and all his servants, "See how my son who came from my own body seeks my life. How much more now may this Benjamite? Let him alone, and let him curse; for so the LORD has ordered him. 12 It may be that the LORD will look on my affliction, and that the LORD will repay me with good for his cursing this day."
13 And as David and his men went along the road, Shimei went along the hillside opposite him and cursed as he went, threw stones at him and kicked up dust. 14 Now the king and all the people who were with him became weary; so they refreshed themselves there.
15 Meanwhile Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem; and Ahithophel was with him. 16 And so it was, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, "Long live the king! Long live the king!"
17 So Absalom said to Hushai, "Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?"
18 And Hushai said to Absalom, "No, but whom the LORD and this people and all the men of Israel choose, his I will be, and with him I will remain.
19 "Furthermore, whom should I serve? Should I not serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father's presence, so will I be in your presence."
20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, "Give counsel as to what we should do."
21 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Go in to your father's concubines, whom he has left to keep the house; and all Israel will hear that you are abhorred by your father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be strong." 22 So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.
23 Now the advice of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if one had inquired at the oracle of God. So was all the advice of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
17:1 Moreover Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Now let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue David tonight. 2 I will come upon him while he is weary and weak, and make him afraid. And all the people who are with him will flee, and I will strike only the king. 3 Then I will bring back all the people to you. When all return except the man whom you seek, all the people will be at peace." 4 And the saying pleased Absalom and all the elders of Israel.
5 Then Absalom said, "Now call Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear what he says too." 6 And when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom spoke to him, saying, "Ahithophel has spoken in this manner. Shall we do as he says? If not, speak up."
7 So Hushai said to Absalom: "The advice that Ahithophel has given is not good at this time. 8 For," said Hushai, "you know your father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are enraged in their minds, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field; and your father is a man of war, and will not camp with the people. 9 Surely by now he is hidden in some pit, or in some other place. And it will be, when some of them are overthrown at the first, that whoever hears it will say, 'There is a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.' 10 And even he who is valiant, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will melt completely. For all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and those who are with him are valiant men.
11 "Therefore I advise that all Israel be fully gathered to you, from Dan to Beersheba, like the sand that is by the sea for multitude, and that you go to battle in person. 12 So we will come upon him in some place where he may be found, and we will fall on him as the dew falls on the ground. And of him and all the men who are with him there shall not be left so much as one. 13 Moreover, if he has withdrawn into a city, then all Israel shall bring ropes to that city; and we will pull it into the river, until there is not one small stone found there."
14 So Absalom and all the men of Israel said, "The advice of Hushai the Archite is better than the advice of Ahithophel." For the LORD had purposed to defeat the good advice of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring disaster on Absalom.
15 Then Hushai said to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, "Thus and so Ahithophel advised Absalom and the elders of Israel, and thus and so I have advised. 16 Now therefore, send quickly and tell David, saying, 'Do not spend this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily cross over, lest the king and all the people who are with him be swallowed up.'"
17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed at En Rogel, for they dared not be seen coming into the city; so a female servant would come and tell them, and they would go and tell King David. 18 Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told Absalom. But both of them went away quickly and came to a man's house in Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down into it. 19 Then the woman took and spread a covering over the well's mouth, and spread ground grain on it; and the thing was not known.
20 And when Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house, they said, "Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?"
So the woman said to them, "They have gone over the water brook." And when they had searched and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
21 Now it came to pass, after they had departed, that they came up out of the well and went and told King David, and said to David, "Arise and cross over the water quickly. For thus has Ahithophel advised against you." 22 So David and all the people who were with him arose and crossed over the Jordan. By morning light not one of them was left who had not gone over the Jordan.
23 Now when Ahithophel saw that his advice was not followed, he saddled a donkey, and arose and went home to his house, to his city. Then he put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died; and he was buried in his father's tomb.
24 Then David went to Mahanaim. And Absalom crossed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him. 25 And Absalom made Amasa captain of the army instead of Joab. This Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Jithra, an Israelite, who had gone in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother. 26 So Israel and Absalom encamped in the land of Gilead.
27 Now it happened, when David had come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the people of Ammon, Machir the son of Ammiel from Lo Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim, 28 brought beds and basins, earthen vessels and wheat, barley and flour, parched grain and beans, lentils and parched seeds, 29 honey and curds, sheep and cheese of the herd, for David and the people who were with him to eat. For they said, "The people are hungry and weary and thirsty in the wilderness."
18:1 And David numbered the people who were with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them. 2 Then David sent out one third of the people under the hand of Joab, one third under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and one third under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the people, "I also will surely go out with you myself."
3 But the people answered, "You shall not go out! For if we flee away, they will not care about us; nor if half of us die, will they care about us. But you are worth ten thousand of us now. For you are now more help to us in the city."
4 Then the king said to them, "Whatever seems best to you I will do."
So the king stood beside the gate, and all the people went out by hundreds and by thousands. 5 Now the king had commanded Joab, Abishai, and Ittai, saying, "Deal gently for my sake with the young man Absalom." And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains orders concerning Absalom.
6 So the people went out into the field of battle against Israel. And the battle was in the woods of Ephraim. 7 The people of Israel were overthrown there before the servants of David, and a great slaughter of twenty thousand took place there that day. 8 For the battle there was scattered over the face of the whole countryside, and the woods devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.
9 Then Absalom met the servants of David. Absalom rode on a mule. The mule went under the thick boughs of a great terebinth tree, and his head caught in the terebinth; so he was left hanging between heaven and earth. And the mule which was under him went on.
10 Now a certain man saw it and told Joab, and said, "I just saw Absalom hanging in a terebinth tree!"
11 So Joab said to the man who told him, "You just saw him! And why did you not strike him there to the ground? I would have given you ten shekels of silver and a belt."
12 But the man said to Joab, "Though I were to receive a thousand shekels of silver in my hand, I would not raise my hand against the king's son. For in our hearing the king commanded you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, 'Beware lest anyone touch the young man Absalom!' 13 Otherwise I would have dealt falsely against my own life. For there is nothing hidden from the king, and you yourself would have set yourself against me."
14 Then Joab said, "I cannot linger with you." And he took three spears in his hand and thrust them through Absalom's heart, while he was still alive in the midst of the terebinth tree. 15 And ten young men who bore Joab's armor surrounded Absalom, and struck and killed him.
16 So Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing Israel. For Joab held back the people. 17 And they took Absalom and cast him into a large pit in the woods, and laid a very large heap of stones over him. Then all Israel fled, everyone to his tent.
18 Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up a pillar for himself, which is in the King's Valley. For he said, "I have no son to keep my name in remembrance." He called the pillar after his own name. And to this day it is called Absalom's Monument.
19 Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, "Let me run now and take the news to the king, how the LORD has avenged him of his enemies."
20 And Joab said to him, "You shall not take the news this day, for you shall take the news another day. But today you shall take no news, because the king's son is dead."
21 Then Joab said to the Cushite, "Go, tell the king what you have seen." So the Cushite bowed himself to Joab and ran.
22 And Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said again to Joab, "But whatever happens, please let me also run after the Cushite."
So Joab said, "Why will you run, my son, since you have no news ready?"
23 "But whatever happens," he said, "let me run."
So he said to him, "Run." Then Ahimaaz ran by way of the plain, and outran the Cushite.
24 Now David was sitting between the two gates. And the watchman went up to the roof over the gate, to the wall, lifted his eyes and looked, and there was a man, running alone. 25 Then the watchman cried out and told the king.
And the king said, "If he is alone, there is news in his mouth." And he came rapidly and drew near.
26 Then the watchman saw another man running, and the watchman called to the gatekeeper and said, "There is another man, running alone!"
And the king said, "He also brings news."
27 So the watchman said, "I think the running of the first is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok."
And the king said, "He is a good man, and comes with good news."
28 And Ahimaaz called out and said to the king, "All is well!" Then he bowed down with his face to the earth before the king, and said, "Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delivered up the men who raised their hand against my lord the king!"
29 The king said, "Is the young man Absalom safe?"
Ahimaaz answered, "When Joab sent the king's servant and me your servant, I saw a great tumult, but I did not know what it was about."
30 And the king said, "Turn aside and stand here." So he turned aside and stood still.
31 Just then the Cushite came, and the Cushite said, "There is good news, my lord the king! For the LORD has avenged you this day of all those who rose against you."
32 And the king said to the Cushite, "Is the young man Absalom safe?" So the Cushite answered, "May the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise against you to do harm, be like that young man!"
33 Then the king was deeply moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept. And as he went, he said thus: "O my son Absalom—my son, my son Absalom—if only I had died in your place! O Absalom my son, my son!"
Though David must depart from Jerusalem, he puts his fate in the LORD's hands. Repentant faith is displayed by David again when Shimei (a man from the family of the house of Saul) hurls stones and curses at David and his servants as they travel through Bahurim. King David spares Shimei from death, accepts the divine judgment, and further entrusts himself to God's mercy.
God's promised consequence of David's sin (the evil adultery he committed with Bathsheba, from chapter 13) is carried out as Ahithophel advises Absalom to go in and commit adultery with David's concubines in the sight of all Israel. Absalom would eventually meet his end as Joab kills him—against David's command to spare him.
Though we, baptized and believing children of God, sin in our thoughts, words, and deeds because of our old nature, we (like David) are under the mercy of God. Often times there are consequences which we must suffer, but by the grace of God we are still made repentant and believing. Does it not bring us to recognize that our answer to the question "How are you doing?" could rightly be said: "Better than we deserve"? Thanks be to God for His Word and Sacraments which keep our eyes fixed on Christ's atoning merits for us. His mercy endures forever!
We pray: O God, the protector of all who trust in You, without Whom nothing is strong and nothing is holy, multiply Your mercy on us that, with You as our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal that we lose not the things eternal; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

AASA - Providing leadership and advocacy for architectural education in Australasia
MSD Designer in Residence
Friday October 14, 2016
University of Melbourne alumnus Adam Markowitz is completing a MSD Design Residency. Adam is currently working on a custom-built meeting room table for the Level 4 Hansen Yuncken Suspended Studio.
The Faculty commissioned Adam to design and build a meeting room table using timber salvaged from the trees that surrounded the old ABP building.
The table design will directly respond to the innovative suspended studio space. The project also includes 12 custom-built chairs.
Founder of design studio markowitzdesign, Adam holds graduate degrees in both Architecture and Furniture Design, and has attended graduate schools of design and craft in Melbourne, Hobart, The Netherlands (TUDelft), Denmark (The Royal Academy) and the US (Center for Furniture Craftsmanship).
Exposed in those schools to fine craft and traditional joinery, he has developed a design philosophy that values the intimate connection between design and fabrication, and the new opportunities found at the intersection of modern digital processes and traditional methods of craftsmanship.
Follow the progress of the project on Instagram @markowitzdesign #msdtable. The residency is anticipated to end in November.

Syrian rebels cast election as "pointless"
June 2 - As Syria preps to hold a presidential election, rebels and residents in the Idlib province call elections pointless. Nathan Frandino reports.
In Syria's northern Idlib province, where various rebel groups remain in control, fighters on patrol are moving ahead in their battle, despite Tuesday's presidential election. (SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) ABDELKAFI DIAB, FIELD COMMANDER WITH THE FREE SYRIAN ARMY, SAYING: "The elections are a means of avoiding reality and distracting the world from Bashar al-Assad's massacres. This is the situation. The elections are pointless, as we are sure that he will lose the war." President Bashar al-Assad will be elected president this week for a third seven-year term. He's ruled since 2000, when he took over from his father. Back in the Idlib province, residents remain pessimistic. (SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) AHMAD ABU AYYASH, SYRIAN, SAYING: "These elections are not legitimate. This is a farce, a masquerade held for the international community. They are making a mockery out of the people and lying to the whole world." World powers have failed to resolve the conflict, which has killed an estimated 160,000 people and displaced millions.
