[0:29] <snlemons-tb> weird. when I switch to tslib to try and fix some of my touchscreen issues, I can't click using the touchscreen.
[0:33] <Zopper> FIN__Master: are you here?
[0:33] * diroots (firstname.lastname@example.com) Quit (Remote closed the connection)
[0:33] <snlemons-tb> shtylman: have you heard of anyone losing the ability to click when following the calibration steps you put on the wiki?
[0:33] * diroots (email@example.com) has joined #touchbook
[0:36] <Zopper> snlemons-tb: I have this issue too.
[1:06] * MMlosh (n=MMlosh@2001:470:1f0b:b78:55f6:d33:fc07:9433) has joined #touchbook
[1:17] <jvs> snlemons-tb, the instructions on the wiki are bogus
[1:18] <jvs> if you are running the lates ai os, you actually are already using tslib
[1:23] * Martix (email@example.com) has joined #touchbook
[1:41] <DJWillis> snlemons-tb: out of interest are you using the 0.0.5 or 0.0.6 xinput tslib driver? I have seen issues with 0.0.6 stopping raising 'click' events on the Pandora but other move events are raised. Not tracked down the cause, very annoying.
[2:05] <snlemons-tb> jvs: that doesn't seem right. my xorg.conf very clearly said it was using evdev
[2:06] <snlemons-tb> DJWillis: not sure I see anything as .0.5 or .0.6
[2:06] <snlemons-tb> DJWillis: xinput - 1.3.0-r0.3
[2:06] <jvs> snlemons-tb, that you were not using the latest ai os
[2:06] <snlemons-tb> DJWillis: tslib-calibrate - 1.0-r22.2.3 -
[2:06] <snlemons-tb> tslib-conf - 1.0-r22.2.3 -
[2:06] <snlemons-tb> tslib-tests - 1.0-r22.2.3 -
[2:06] <snlemons-tb> xf86-input-tslib - 0.0.6-r7.4
[2:07] <snlemons-tb> jvs: most definitely am, unless there's been a second release in November.
[2:08] <snlemons-tb> wiki says 11.a is newest, and that's what I installed manually.
[2:08] <DJWillis> snlemons-tb: interesting, I assume you get no clicks but movement is registered ok? Sounds like the same bug I am trying to track down on the Pandora (and is driving me nuts as I want to use 0.0.6 for a few reasons but only 0.0.5 works well ;-)).
[2:09] <jvs> snlemons-tb, I see
[2:10] <snlemons-tb> DJWillis: yeah, it moves fine, but I don't get clicks registered. sometimes I get 1 registeredand none after that. it also stops registering regular mouse clicks after I try with screen.
[2:11] <DJWillis> snlemons-tb: yep, sounds about right and considering both the Pandora and TB are using the same package with the same bug it seems clear where the problem is. Joy, one more bug to patch.
[2:12] <snlemons-tb> DJWillis: yeah, good times. seem to be several real killer touchscreen related bugs I'm encountering. :(
[2:13] <DJWillis> snlemons-tb: moving back to 0.0.5 will sort that issue but you will loose a few of the overloaded bits like right-click on touch etc.
[2:14] <snlemons-tb> ah, not sure I use right click much. I'm sure I'll miss it once it's gone, though. :)
[2:14] <snlemons-tb> which package did you mean? xf86-input-tslib?
[2:15] <snlemons-tb> I just noticed it in the list, and it's the one with a 0.0.6 version, but I wanted to be sure.
[2:16] <DJWillis> snlemons-tb: same issue for me, I was using libgtkstylus to get the right click on the older packages but as I have a handful of QT packages I need to carry I need the right click done somewhere lower.
[2:16] <DJWillis> snlemons-tb: yep, xf86-input-tslib
[2:17] <snlemons-tb> DJWillis: cool. thanks. might try it. would love to have the screen better calibrated. do you know if the calibration fix from the wiki will give me proper calibration when rotated?
[2:17] <snlemons-tb> touchscreen becomes pretty much useless to me when rotated, currently
[2:17] <DJWillis> snlemons-tb: I don't have a TB so can't tell you.
[2:18] <DJWillis> snlemons-tb: there is just a lot of overlap with what I am doing on the OpenPandora and there are some decent folks in the chan so I help if I can.
[2:18] <snlemons-tb> DJWillis: ah, ok. jvs, you seem to have this calibration thing worked out. any idea whether it'll fix my rotation issues? I didn't see anything conclusive on the forums or bug listings.
[2:19] <DJWillis> snlemons-tb: the Pandora's screen does not rotate but at a guess assuming the TB has an event that is fired for the rotation a simple script and 2 sets of tslib calibrations would be the way to go, it should not be hard to get going.
[2:20] <jvs> snlemons-tb, the calibration on the wiki did not work out for me
[2:20] <jvs> I had to create my own pointercal
[2:20] <snlemons-tb> jvs: ah. how do you go about that?
[2:21] <snlemons-tb> jvs: I tried ts_calibrate, but it errors saying some file is missing.
[2:21] <jvs> mom
[2:21] * markwbaur (firstname.lastname@example.com) has joined #touchbook
[2:21] <DJWillis> snlemons-tb: run it as root or sudo/su up 1st.
[2:22] <snlemons-tb> think I did. will try again.
[2:22] <DJWillis> Hmmm, does the TB even carry sudo/gksudo etc?
[2:22] <snlemons-tb> sudo, yes.
[2:23] <snlemons-tb> says "ts_open: no such fiile or directory"
[2:23] <snlemons-tb> jvs: sorry, what did "mom" mean in that context?
[2:23] <DJWillis> snlemons-tb: what's the contents of you tslib.conf? That looks like it's trying to open the wrong device.
[2:24] <snlemons-tb> I have ts.conf, but I assume that works, too.
[2:25] <DJWillis> snlemons-tb: humor me ;-)
[2:25] <snlemons-tb> first line is "module_raw input" the rest look like settings that wouldn't affect which device it looked for
[2:25] <DJWillis> ok
[2:26] <snlemons-tb> last line is "module linear" in case that matters.
[2:27] <jvs> one moment :)
[2:27] <jvs> snlemons-tb, have a look > http://marwww.in2p3.fr/~duval/wiki_html_dump/articles/t/s/l/Tslib.html
[2:27] <DJWillis> snlemons-tb: it should open /dev/input/touchscreen0 as that is the normal OE/Angstrom symlink to the active primary touchscreen, that error sounds like it's looking somewhere else. strace ts_calibrate to see what it is opening maybe?
[2:27] <jvs> you should have a ts.conf
[2:27] <jvs> you need to create another env.var and source it
[2:28] <jvs> and then calibrate as stated
[2:28] <snlemons-tb> open("/dev/touchscreen/ucb1x00", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[2:28] <snlemons-tb> jvs: I do have a ts.conf
[2:29] <jvs> yupp
[2:29] <jvs> but I could find no trace of export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event0
[2:29] <jvs> export TSLIB_TSEVENTTYPE=INPUT
[2:29] <jvs> export TSLIB_CONFFILE=/etc/ts.conf
[2:29] <jvs> export TSLIB_CALIBFILE=/etc/pointercal
[2:30] <jvs> that's why I threw this values into a separate file and sourced it
[2:30] <jvs> then calibrated
[2:30] <DJWillis> snlemons-tb: hmmmm, do you have the symlink? I can't vouch for how gregoiregentil has set it up but that will cause borkage of some Angstrom packages that assume if there is a TS it is at the right place ;-)
[2:31] <DJWillis> Can someone on a TB do an ls /dev/input/tou* for me?
[2:31] <snlemons-tb> jvs: added those env vars, still get that "no such file" error
[2:32] <snlemons-tb> DJWillis: /dev/input/touchscreen0
[2:32] <jvs> sourced it?
[2:32] <snlemons-tb> jvs: yeps
[2:32] <jvs> hmm
[2:32] <jvs> I did that from outside X
[2:33] <jvs> then startedX, twm, and ran calibrate
[2:33] <snlemons-tb> DJWillis: so, my screen seems to be touchscreen0 and ts_calibrate seems to be looking for just touchscreen, no?
[2:34] <snlemons-tb> jvs: shouldn't matter, right? sourced the file in the same shell I ran ts_calibrate from.
[2:34] <DJWillis> snlemons-tb: then use that symlink in the TSLIB_TSDEVICE= bit not the direct device but other than that, yep, it should use that but you said it was using /dev/touchscreen/ucb1x00 (assuming you went far enough down the strace)
[2:35] <jvs> snlemons-tb, no clue then
[2:38] <DJWillis> snlemons-tb: out of interest what does the xorg.conf look like for the xinput tslib driver?
[2:40] <snlemons-tb> DJWillis: I added this line to the file I was sourcing with the env vars and it's still looking for touchscreen, instead of touchscreen0:
[2:41] <snlemons-tb> export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/touchscreen0
[2:44] <snlemons-tb> as for xorg.conf...
[2:44] <snlemons-tb> Section "InputDevice"
[2:44] <snlemons-tb> Identifier "touch"
[2:44] <snlemons-tb> Driver "tslib"
[2:44] <snlemons-tb> Option "Device" "/dev/input/touchscreen0"
[2:44] <snlemons-tb> EndSection
[2:44] <snlemons-tb> if you need more, I'll just pastebin you the file
[2:45] <DJWillis> snlemons-tb: go for it, just seening if anything jumps out
[2:48] <snlemons-tb> DJWillis: one second. brb.

[2:55] <DJWillis> snlemons-tb: can you check if HAL is running, may have just found something interesting with HAL and the hard coded device munging events.
[2:56] <snlemons-tb> DJWillis: hald and hald-runner what you're looking for?
[2:56] <snlemons-tb> got those and a few other hald* processes. as well as halevt
[3:00] <DJWillis> snlemons-tb: ok, can you try something (don't have a Pandora handy or I would try there), edit xorg.conf and comment out Option "Device" "/dev/input/touchscreen0". That said, I don't know how the TB deals with running without a touchscreen (assuming HAL does not do what I think it should do) so there is a small risk I guess that you will loose the TS input for that session.
[3:00] <DJWillis> In theory HAL should provide the device dynamically and not munge the click and motion events (as it seems to be doing now).
[3:01] <snlemons-tb> DJWillis: ok. trying now.
[3:02] <snlemons-tb> DJWillis: can I just restart the session (Ctrl-Alt-Bksp) or do I need to fully reboot?
[3:02] <DJWillis> snlemons-tb: in theory session but I am not sure, HAL should not need a restart.
[3:03] * snlemons-tb (firstname.lastname@example.com) Quit (Remote closed the connection)
[3:05] * snlemons-tb (email@example.com) has joined #touchbook
[3:06] <snlemons-tb> DJWillis: it appears you were correct
[3:06] <DJWillis> snlemons-tb: there is also a Rotate directive in the xinput-tslib driver that takes CW, UD and CCW as prams, seems to suggest it supports the axis swapping so that may be of use on the screen rotation, not sure but interesting.
[3:06] <DJWillis> snlemons-tb: correct good or correct bad ;-)
[3:06] <snlemons-tb> still can't ts_calibrate, but at least I can click.
[3:07] <snlemons-tb> jvs: I wonder if your calibration file would work for me. you saidrotation does or does not work properly for you?
[3:08] <DJWillis> snlemons-tb: ok, one down, one to go, not a total loss ;)
[3:08] <jvs> snlemons-tb, in the default landscape I had an offset of about 1 cm
[3:08] <jvs> this is gone now
[3:08] <jvs> in portrait mode, there still is offset
[3:08] <jvs> but I can deal with hit
[3:08] <jvs> *it
[3:09] <jvs> I believe it would be no problem create 4 different pointercal files and reload them after rotation
[3:09] <jvs> I haven't had time to look into it yet
[3:10] <snlemons-tb> jvs: I see. well, my landscape seems fine. portrait is where I tend to have issues.
[3:30] <snlemons-tb> in fact, in portrait things are off by at least a few cm
[3:33] <DJWillis> snlemons-tb: assuming the units are all made in a consistent fashion grab jvs's /etc/pointercal and try that.

[4:44] <jvs> and on all the touchscreen did behave differently
[4:47] <DJWillis> jvs: damm, that sucks, so a first run calibration should be baked into the firmware at the very least then, we are doing that with the Pandora despite the fact that all the TS's so far behave well with a single calibration, it just removes the need for any funnies later.

[7:10] <DJWillis> Eruquen: gcc helloworld.c
[7:10] <DJWillis> Just knock up a simple few line test.
[7:10] <Eruquen> okay, I get "error trying to exec 'cc1': execvp: no such file or directory"
[7:11] <DJWillis> So there is your problem, not everything you want seems to be installed.

[12:40] <Zopper> I have afraid, I have bad HW... :( I have problems with things, that evereyone have no problem.....
[12:40] <FIN__Master> i have problems with the clock also
[12:41] <FIN__Master> have you got working wifi with aios?
[12:41] <Zopper> yes..
[12:41] <FIN__Master> then it shouldn't be in the hw
[12:42] <Zopper> on ubuntu I see only "lo", when i type ifconfig -a
[12:42] <FIN__Master> hmm. you should see ra0
[12:43] <Zopper> FIN__Master: I have big stability issues on aios, so I now trying ubuntu, if I will have the same problems here..
[12:44] <FIN__Master> I had quite solid aios. And ubuntu seems solid too. But i had to try installing ubuntu many times before got it to work properly..
[12:44] <FIN__Master> You could try to format the card and run the copyscript again
[12:44] <Zopper> (kernel panic after a few minutes of using TB, sometimes immediately after boot on clearly instaled OS.... on ubuntu it seems be better)
[12:45] <FIN__Master> have you tried different cards?

[12:45] <Zopper> no difference
[12:45] <Zopper> I'll try reinstall ubuntu tomorow...
[12:45] <FIN__Master> it sucks to be in that situation :S
[12:46] <FIN__Master> i had big issues when installing ubuntu and Mer with a card reader integrated to my laptop but when i bought another reader and used it with my desktop, things started to work..

[12:51] <hyc> cat /sys/class/power_supply/*/uevent
[12:52] <hyc> there is no ACPI, that's x86/PC specific

[12:58] <Zopper> FIN__Master: have you working touchscreen? If yes, I have some next issues....
[12:58] <FIN__Master> yes I had in aios but in ubuntu it needs serious calibration
[12:58] <FIN__Master> but it works in ubuntu too but not right
[12:59] <Zopper> FIN__Master: In ubuntu I have cursor after touch touchscreen on right bottom corner. Have you also?
[13:00] <FIN__Master> Yes. And when touching the upper left of the screen the cursos is about in the middle of the screen
[13:01] <FIN__Master> you could try this: http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/wiki/index.php/Touchscreen_calibration
[13:01] <FIN__Master> i cant now because my tb is compiling Qt
[13:01] <Zopper> ok, I'll try it and tell you...

[13:16] <Zopper> I tried copy it manualy at first...
[13:17] <FIN__Master> and are the file permissions right with those files from aios?
[13:17] <FIN__Master> I dont really know what could be the issue. Im just guessing :)
[13:18] <Zopper> I'll check it... maybe it is the problem
[13:21] <Zopper> I have different permissions there... these are on user (uid 1001) acc ownership, so I change it on root
[13:22] <Zopper> no.. ifconfig -a still nothing...
[13:22] <Zopper> (I rebooted after change)

[21:35] <snowman_> does the touchbook come with an SD card already in it?
[21:36] <drantin> yes
[21:36] <drantin> an 8G card
[21:36] <snowman_> 8G card with the OS i'm assuming...
[21:36] <drantin> yes
[21:36] <snowman_> how big is the OS?
[21:37] <drantin> can't recall off hand, and mine isn't plugged in atm... http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/release/2009-09.c/
[21:37] <drantin> ran down the battery recently, by accident...
[21:39] <snowman_> oh lol
[21:39] <snowman_> would you say that it was worth the $400?
[21:41] <drantin> for the use I get out of it normally? yes. although people not willing to put up with a few random niggles here and there would be better of waiting, or going with something else
[21:41] <drantin> it's extremely good value to me though...
[21:42] <snowman_> well I like messing around with stuff so it being based off the beagleboard is pretty convieniet
[21:42] <snowman_> does it have an rs-232?
[21:44] <drantin> nope
[21:44] <drantin> but I do have a usb to rs232 adapter somewhere...
[21:45] <drantin> not sure how that helps though
[21:45] <snowman_> :-/ I don't think that it gives the functionality... and it's probably a usb to rs-232 instead of the other way around
[21:46] <snowman_> I mean rs-232 to usb not the other way around ******
[21:47] <snowman_> but I guess that makes it pretty much un-brickable
[21:56] <Gary13579> snowman_, the entire OS is contained on the SD card
[21:56] <Gary13579> which effectively makes it unbrickable
[21:57] <snowman_> yah thats what I meant
[21:57] <snowman_> so is there a way to update the uboot then?
[21:58] <Gary13579> I'm not sure the specifics, but if that's store on the internal NAND then yeah it's rewritable
[22:00] <hyc> the u-boot is loaded off the SD card too
[22:00] <hyc> for the most part, you should pretend the NAND doesn't exist
[22:01] <hyc> the last guy who rewrote his NAND had to get a custom binary from alexandre to un-brick it
[22:02] <hyc> you can always get the source to the AI u-boot and tweak it
[22:06] <Gary13579> hyc, what's contained on the NAND then?
[22:19] <hyc> probably the code that loads the SD card bootblock
[22:19] <hyc> not sure
[22:19] <hyc> maybe nothing at all
[22:20] * alexandre (email@example.com) has joined #touchbook
[22:22] <hyc> there, you could ask alexandre ;)
[22:23] * Zopper (firstname.lastname@example.com) has joined #touchbook
[22:24] <snowman_> whats so special bout alexandre? you guys seem to have a lot of faith in him
[22:28] <snowman_> what would you use the squashfs for?
[22:29] <hyc> snowman_: alexandre is an AI employee
[22:30] <snowman_> oh
[22:36] * Zopper (email@example.com) Quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
[22:41] <alexandre> hi all
[22:42] <hyc> howdy alexandre
[22:45] <alexandre> snowman_: what's the matter?
[22:45] <snowman_> nothing
[22:46] <snowman_> I was just wondering who you were
[22:46] <snowman_> and what the squashfs filesystem in the release repo was for
[22:47] <hyc> you dd the squahfs image onto partition 1 of the SD card
[22:47] <hyc> that's the root filesystem
[22:48] <snowman_> oh
[22:48] <hyc> (p1, 2nd partition. p0 is 1st.)
[22:49] <snowman_> I'm assuming all of the binaries in the rootfs are for ARM
[22:51] <snowman_> is there a way to replace U-boot with grub?
[22:52] <snowman_> and then put an actual filesystem instead of a sqashedfs
[22:52] * jod (email@example.com) has joined #touchbook
[22:55] <snowman_> does the always innovating updater extract some type of filesystem from sd-card.gz and put it on the card?
[22:56] <alexandre> the .gz is an image of the card
[22:56] <alexandre> if you gunzip it you get a 8GB single file
[22:57] <snowman_> why can't you look inside of the image file like you could with an iso?
[22:58] <jod> hi guys :)
[22:59] <drantin> you can look inside with the squashfs tools... and you can mount it on your computer etc...
[22:59] <snowman_> oh its sqashed?
[22:59] <snowman_> thats why
[23:00] <snowman_> does all Uboot do is just mount and run the sqashfs?
[23:00] <drantin> unsquashfs can list the contents... you probably need to decompress it first though, as I don't think it operates on gzipped files...
[23:01] <snowman_> well I'm on windows right now and I don't feel like running my ubuntu VM as I'm about to go to sleep...
[23:03] <drantin> heh, my windows is in a VM
[23:07] <alexandre> about the booting process and what U-boot does (or not), you can find some infos on the wiki
[23:07] <snowman_> ehh well I have a gaming rig and VMs... ehhh gaming + VM don't mix
[23:07] <alexandre> http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/wiki/index.php/Booting
[23:07] <alexandre> and http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/wiki/index.php/U-boot
[23:08] <snowman_> yah I read part of that but reading the whole thing now helps more
[23:09] <snowman_> if it has no rs-232 then why does it set a baud rate?
[23:10] <snowman_> oh it has serial but just not rs-232 serial
[23:23] <jod> touchbook has only 256MB RAM is not? :D
[23:23] <dpb> is not?
[23:24] <jod> :D sry
[23:24] <jod> or not
[23:25] <alexandre> jod: more details on http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/wiki/index.php/Touch_Book_specs
[23:25] <jod> flash memory is for system, right?
[23:28] <alexandre> the OS is on the SD card, if this is your question
[23:30] <jod> yes
[23:30] * Vito89 (firstname.lastname@example.com) has joined #touchbook
[23:30] <jod> so why is this flash memory integrated on board? :)
[23:31] <hyc> hmm, my old Win98 laptop had only 192MB of RAM
[23:32] * leinir (n=leinir@amarok/usability/leinir) Quit (Read error: 148 (No route to host))
[23:32] <jod> my 512, and is too slow! :D
[23:32] <hyc> the flash is part of the OMAP3530 chip
[23:33] <hyc> and you *can* use it for booting purposes
[23:33] <hyc> but if you want to stay compatible with the AI OS releases, you're safer not to touch it
[23:34] <hyc> (I remember when I used to think that old laptop was *fast* ;)
[23:35] <hyc> I'm guessing that once the OS is in a final state, and no longer beta, AI will start using it more extensively
[23:35] <jod> ah, is something like bios or EFI? :D
[23:36] <hyc> I guess. currently its only job is to load the SD bootblock, I think. everything else is done by u-boot on the SD
[23:37] <hyc> I've been wanting to patch the loader to read a bootblock off a USB flash drive
[23:37] <hyc> haven't had time yet
[23:38] <dpb> You need to patch it?
[23:38] <dpb> I thought you just need to change the boot params
[23:40] <hyc> I haven't looked into it at all yet.
[23:40] <hyc> I assumed there would be some level of pain getting it to read the USB at all
[23:46] <dpb> Atleast when I used a beagleboard, I could just edit the uboot kernel lines and just changed the root parameter to point to the usb partition. If you do it wrong on the touchbook, it's more difficult to fix though, you need to solder the serial port stuff so you can get to the uboot console..
[23:46] * leinir (n=leinir@amarok/usability/leinir) has joined #touchbook
[23:49] <hyc> would that be using fw_setenv on the touchbook?
[23:51] <hyc> I guess we're losing a lot by not having serial console access
[23:52] <hyc> it would be nice to have a menu onscreen, like lilo or grub
[23:52] <hyc> then we could boot on USB and do SD card updates all on the TB itself
[23:56] <dpb> hyc: yes, fw_setenv

By fumbling
error and slow competence
We learn to earn - the money part of living.
We then retire and find the true expense
Is somehow we forgot the art of living.
Before we know, "the world is not for aye,"
An immortality makes childhood sing.
The poet says the problem we must try,
"Is what to make of a diminished thing."
The sonnet is a world diminished so;
The octet poses problems, dark and drear,
Dilemmas, questions, sorrows, pain and woe,
The sestet then resolves with answers clear,
Iambic, little world of measured time.
The final problem is to make it rhyme.

To George Washington from Brigadier General Duportail, 18 June 1778
From Brigadier General Duportail
[18 June 1778]
I think we ought not to quit our position of Valley forge—before the enemy has evacuated Philadelphia—he must have lost his reason, to remain in that city without being in a condition to defend it. Thus either the intelligence which says there are no more than 2 or 3000 men there, is false—or the English have it in their power by the measures which they have taken, Signals agreed upon, number of boats &c. to recross in sufficient force, in case of our advancing to attack them.
The matter besides is reducible to this—Either the English are not really going away—or they are—if the former be the case all that has hitherto been done is a feint on their part, and conceals some Snare into which they would draw us.
if they are really determined to go away—what can we Desire more—here is a certain and immense advantage—let us not risk the loss of it, by pursuing another, which even should we obtain it, would not change our affairs.
However as we have her[e] 12000 men and that our position may be defended by a smaller number, I think it would be well to send 1500 men into the Jerseys, to reinforce what is there already. the whole should be commanded by a person well acquainted with the Country—they ought not in general to oppose the enemy in front, on his march—but to follow him on his left flank.
When the English shall have passed the Delaware, we ought in my opinion to move to the banks of that River—and prepare to pass it likewise—but certain precautions are necessary—if we learn that the english are advancing hastily towards N. York—we may likewise pass with celerity—but if they shd halt, or appear to march slowly—in that case I think our troops ought not to pursue the Enemy, as fast as they could cross the River—but post ourselves advantageously near the River, and wait till the whole army has passed, in order to advance in force.
In Jerseys as well as every where else, I think we ought always to avoid General Actions—to seek advantageous posts—to have the Roads of Retreat well reconnoitred, and to secure communications with our magazines—After all; I find it Difficult to believe that the Enemy mean to cross the Jerseys and got to N. York—unless there is a deficiency of transports—but we have the same conduct to Observe in case the enemy should march down the left Shore of the Delaware to embark below.
L, in John Laurens's writing, DLC:GW; Varick transcript, DLC:GW. The L is probably a translation of a French ALS that has not been found.
Duportail wrote this letter in answer to questions that GW had asked his officers on the previous day (see Council of War, 17 June).

On Sunday 17 April, British Airways flight 727 on approach to Heathrow was struck by what was reported to be a drone at about 1,700 feet. There has since been some doubt as to whether this was a drone, but its impact on the debate about drone regulation has been no less pronounced for various reasons.
Given the rapid increase in the volume of drones in use and an eight-fold rise in near-misses with other airspace uses, this CII Thinkpiece focuses on the risks presented by drones, regulatory developments and the types of drones available for leisure, commercial and military purposes.

Since my last jubilant entry I've fallen off of the leaderboard, and the highest RMSE on the leaderboard is .9668 as of right now, which means getting on has become pretty difficult. My latest attempt at user correlations is still running (it's a lot slower to predict ratings because it has to load a file for every prediction) and it doesn't look like the RMSE is going to be very good (1.035 and it's a little less than halfway done).
I have a few tweaks and one more big idea to try, but they're going to take time, and more time means harder to make it on the leaderboard. Still gonna take a shot at it, but I guess I'm less optimistic than I was before. Oh well.
On a random note, I was just at the gym, and a woman two down from me had the TV on to a cooking show. Granted, it seemed like it was vaguely healthy cooking, but it still seems a little self-defeating :-)

A door is free to rotate about an axis through O There are three factors that determine the effectiveness of the force in opening the door: The magnitude of the force The position of the application of the force The angle at which the force is applied April 7, 2009 Torque Definition Torque, t, is the tendency of a force to rotate an object about some axis Let F be a force acting on an object, and let r be a position vector from a rotational center to the point of application of the force, with F perpendicular to r. The magnitude of the torque is given by t rF April 7, 2009 Torque Units and Direction The SI units of torque are N.m Torque is a vector quantity Torque magnitude is given by t rF Torque will have direction If the turning tendency of the force is counterclockwise, the torque will be positive If the turning tendency is clockwise, the torque will be negative April 7, 2009 Net Torque The force F1 will tend to cause a counterclockwise rotation about O The force F2 will tend to cause a clockwise rotation about O St t1 t2 F1d1 – F2d2 If St 0, starts rotating Rate of rotation of an If St 0, rotation rate object does not change, does not change unless the object is acted on by a net torque April 7, 2009 General Definition of Torque The applied force is not always perpendicular to the position vector The component of the force perpendicular to the object will cause it to rotate When the force is parallel to the position vector, no rotation occurs When the force is at some angle, the perpendicular component causes the rotation April 7, 2009 General Definition of Torque Let F be a force acting on an object, and let r be a position vector from a rotational center to the point of application of the force.

The disk consists of many particles at various distance from the axis of rotation. The torque on each one is given by t = mr2 The net torque on the disk is given by St = (Smr2) A constant of proportionality is the moment of inertia, I = Smr2 = m1r12 + m2r22 + m3r32 + … So, we can rewrite it as St = I April 7, 2009 Newton's Second Law for a Rotating Object When a rigid object is subject to a net torque (≠0), it undergoes an angular acceleration St I The angular acceleration is directly proportional to the net torque The angular acceleration is inversely proportional to the moment of inertia of the object The relationship is analogous to F ma April 7, 2009 April 7, 2009 The Falling Object A solid, frictionless cylindrical reel of mass M = 3.0 kg and radius R = 0.4m is used to draw water from a well. A bucket of mass m = 2.0 kg is attached to a cord that is wrapped around the cylinder. (a) Find the tension T in the cord and acceleration a of the object. (b) If the object starts from rest at the top of the well and falls for 3.0 s before hitting the water, how far does it fall ?

YANGON (Reuters) – Myanmar's hardline monks will dodge bans on Facebook and keep using the social media giant to "tell the truth", they said on Friday, after it barred several Buddhist nationalists for hate messages targeting Rohingya Muslims.
United Nations officials investigating a possible genocide in Myanmar have said Facebook had been a source of propaganda against the minority in a country where it has become a near-ubiquitous communications tool as the economy opens up.
Myanmar's nationalist monks and activists, who have emerged as a political force in recent years, have been sharing violent and angry rhetoric on Facebook targeting the minority, seen by many in the Buddhist-majority country as illegal immigrants.
"It is a violation of freedom of expression," Thuseitta, a member of the Patriotic Myanmar Monks' Union told Reuters hours after Facebook identified him as a "hate figure".

All things are from God; and above all, reason and imagination and the great gifts of the mind. They are good in themselves; and we must not altogether forget their origin even in their perversion.Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Leadership is mostly a power over imagination, and never more so than in combat. The bravest man alone can only be an armed lunatic. The real strength lies in the ability to get others to do your work.Lois McMaster Bujold
Imagination was given to man to compensate for what he is not, and a sense of humor to console him for what he is.Francis Bacon
I'm a very talented person, I know that. I'm a very gifted person. I have a lot of imagination. I work hard. I feel I have the attributes within myself to have achieved what I have done. There has been no luck, no miracles. The only miracle has been this voice.Sarah Brightman
Fiction is not imagination. It is what anticipates imagination by giving it the form of reality. This is quite opposite to our own natural tendency which is to anticipate reality by imagining it, or to flee from it by idealizing it. That is why we shall never inhabit true fiction; we are condemned to the imaginary and nostalgia for the future.Jean Baudrillard
The conscious process is reflected in the imagination; the unconscious process is expressed as karma, the generation of actions divorced from thinking and alienated from feeling.William Irwin Thompson
The travel writer seeks the world we have lost the lost valleys of the imagination.Alexander Claud Cockburn
Where my reason, imagination or interest were not engaged, I would not or I could not learn.Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill
Life is possible only by the deficiencies of our imagination and memory.Emil Cioran
One travels to run away from routine, that dreadful routine that kills all imagination and all our capacity for enthusiasm.Ella Maillart
You will recognize your own path when you come upon it, because you will suddenly have all the energy and imagination you will ever need.Jerry Gillies
The most competent physician of our world advises the patient to listen to an ignorant doctor who the patient thinks is very competent rather than to a competent doctor who the patient thinks is ignorant. He reason is that our imagination works for our good health, and as long as it is supplemented by remedies, it is capable of healing us. But the most powerful remedies are too weak when the imagination does not apply them.Cyrano Hercule Savinien de Bergerac
I established myself in a fairly remote country house and entertained my imagination with various means of transport. Here is how I betook myself to heaven. I attached to myself a number of bottles of dew, and the heat of the sun, which attracted it, drew me so high that I finally emerged above the highest clouds. But the sun's attraction of the dew drew me upwards so rapidly that instead of approaching the Moon, as I intended, I seemed to be farther from it than when I started. I broke open some of the bottles and felt my weight overcome the attraction and bring me back towards the earth.Cyrano Hercule Savinien de Bergerac

Closing the Skills Gap
Employers are having a hard time finding suitably skilled workers, according to a survey conducted by Learning House in collaboration with Future Workplace. In the spring of 2018, 600 human resource leaders were asked about the state of their hiring process and any difficulties identifying qualified candidates. The survey found that half (52 percent) of employers do feel there is a skills gap and 47 percent blame higher education. Job openings in the U.S. continue to rise and 70 percent of employers note that up to 500 jobs at their company went unfilled over the past year.
To address this skills gap, Learning House proposes a stronger connection between employers and educational institutions. Although employers note considering outsourcing training and hiring non-traditional candidates without four-year degrees, we feel these options are short-term. The best long-term solution is increased collaboration between the subject matter experts in education and employers.
This study identifies and benchmarks the current skills gap experienced by U.S. employers as well as their frustrations with finding qualified candidates. We look to bridge this gap by starting dialogue between employers and schools. We feel this collaboration is essential to closing the gap and for continued strengthening of our national economy.
Section One: College isn't preparing students for the working world
Employers point to colleges and universities for not preparing the future workforce for open positions that they have in their business, thus creating a skills gap nationwide. Nearly half (47 percent) of employers surveyed say they do not feel that colleges are preparing students for the working world; this is troublesome since 35 percent of employers feel it is the responsibility of the colleges for making employees "work-ready."
Do you feel that colleges are preparing students for the working world?[All Employers]
Size of Company Yes No Less than 1,000 52% 48% 1,000 to 2,499 54% 46% 2,500 to 9,999 61% 39% 10,000 to 49,999 52% 48% 50,000 or more 43% 57%
Yes No We have a skills gap 49% 51% We do not have a skills gap 56% 44% Unsure if we have a skills gap 60% 40%
The skills gap, in the eyes of employers, will not be closing anytime soon with nearly one-third (29 percent) of employers saying they do not have a pipeline of talent coming from colleges and universities with the right skills to fill their current and future roles. An additional 22 percent are unsure about their talent pipeline.
Do the schools/colleges where you recruit have a pipeline of talent with the right skills to fill your current and future roles?[All Employers]
Size of Company No Not Sure Yes Less than 1,000 31% 27% 42% 1,000 to 2,499 37% 8% 55% 2,500 to 9,999 24% 16% 60% 10,000 to 49,999 29% 21% 50% 50,000 or more 22% 19% 58%
No Not Sure Yes We have a skills gap 33% 19% 48% We do not have a skills gap 27% 21% 52% Unsure if we have a skills gap 19% 36% 45%
Despite pointing the finger at colleges and universities for not helping to address the skills gap, almost half of employers (43 percent) are not extending their hand in collaboration to these institutions to help ensure the necessary skills are being addressed. Perhaps employers do not feel higher education can address all the skills gaps needed, but only 31 percent of employers are actively collaborating with colleges and universities to help close the skills gap.
In the last three years, has your organization collaborated with colleges to make the curriculum more responsive to workplace needs?[All Employers]
Size of Company Yes, currently Yes, the past three years No Unsure Less than 1,000 23% 17% 54% 6% 1,000 to 2,499 41% 25% 30% 4% 2,500 to 9,999 41% 24% 28% 8% 10,000 to 49,999 31% 14% 39% 17% 50,000 or more 37% 21% 33% 9%
Population Yes, currently Yes, the past three years No Unsure We have a skills gap 35% 21% 40% 4% We do not have a skills gap 30% 16% 45% 9% Unsure if we have a skills gap 16% 19% 45% 19%
Section Two: Companies are challenged with closing their growing skills gap
More than half (52 percent) of employers surveyed report a skills gap at their organization. Over one-third (37 percent) of employers feel the average rate a skill is usable is four years or less, thus demonstrating how quickly roles are evolving at their organizations. Thirty five percent of employers note that it has been more difficult to hire for open positions in 2018 compared to just one year ago; an additional 60 percent report the difficulty has remained the same, with just 6 percent reporting that filling positions has become easier over the past year.
Has filling open positions to close your skills gap, been harder this year compared to 2017?[All Employers]
Size of Company Harder The same Easier Less than 1,000 30% 64% 6% 1,000 to 2,499 36% 58% 7% 2,500 to 9,999 34% 61% 5% 10,000 to 49,999 40% 54% 6% 50,000 or more 48% 46% 6%
Harder The same Easier We have a skills gap 47% 51% 3% We do not have a skills gap 20% 69% 11% Unsure if we have a skills gap 23% 71% 6%
Nearly half (47 percent) of employers point to the lack of qualified candidates in the workforce as the cause of the skills gap at their organization. This has led to 70 percent of employers not being able to fill up to 500 open positions at their organizations over the past year.
Approximately how many job openings have gone unfilled at your company in the past year?[All Employers]
Size of Company None Less than 100 Between 100 and 500 Between 500 and 1000 Greater than 1000 Not sure Less than 1,000 28% 60% 8% 2% 0% 2% 1,000 to 2,499 9% 61% 24% 4% 0% 3% 2,500 to 9,999 7% 42% 33% 11% 4% 4% 10,000 to 49,999 4% 46% 27% 17% 4% 2% 50,000 or more 3% 27% 30% 12% 16% 12%
Population None Less than 100 Between 100 and 500 Between 500 and 1000 Greater than 1000 Not sure We have a skills gap 9% 51% 26% 8% 4% 2% We do not have a skills gap 29% 47% 12% 7% 2% 3% Unsure if we have a skills gap 15% 67% 6% 1% 0% 11%
Section Three: Technology and IT skills are the most in-demand
The ever-changing technology landscape is impacting the ability to find qualified candidates for open roles at companies across the country. Technology and IT jobs are the hardest to fill, according to 43 percent of employers, followed by management jobs (41 percent). These roles appear to mirror what employers deem the in-demand college majors: computer information systems (63 percent) and finance and economics (56 percent). This, again, shows the onus employers place on educational institutions to ready the future job market candidates for hire.
Which roles are the hardest to fill?[All Employers]
In the survey, employers identified the hard and soft skills that are in-demand at their organizations. For hard skills, "strategic thinking and analytical skills" top the list (59 percent). Project management and computer skills are in-demand by nearly half (47 percent) of employers as well. The top soft skills in-demand are teamwork (38 percent), the ability to adapt to change (37 percent), and leadership (37 percent).
Which of the following hard skills are the most in-demand right now at your company?[All Employers]
Section Four: Companies are betting on untraditional means as solutions for closing the skills gap
There are several obstacles facing employers who seek to close the skill gap. Number one is lack of budget (53 percent) followed closely by difficulty finding external talent to train employees (52 percent) and not having internal talent to train employees (50 percent). As a result, companies are open to innovative ways they could possibly address their skills gap. Forty-percent of employers somewhat or strongly agree that artificial intelligence (AI) will help fill the skills gap at their organization and 40 percent also are looking to outsource work to vendors rather than hiring or upskilling their employees.
What are your three biggest obstacles to upskilling current employees? [All Employers]
The skills gap is also causing a significant proportion of employers to more seriously consider hiring candidates without college degrees, which is good news for alternative credentialing bodies like coding bootcamps. Two-thirds of employers would hire someone with a recognized industry certification (66 percent) or a certificate of completion (66 percent) in place of a college degree. Nearly half (47 percent) would hire a candidate with a MOOC-degree and one-quarter (24 percent) would hire a candidate with a digital badge.
How open are you to hiring a candidate who has one of the following in place of a college degree?[All Employers]
In all, 90 percent of employers are open to hiring a candidate without a four-year degree. This shows how strongly employers value the skills of a candidate over traditional credentials.
How open are you to accepting untraditional job candidates (those without a 4-year degree)?[All Employers]
Size of Company Always open Very often open Sometimes open Rarely open Never open Less than 1,000 40% 25% 25% 8% 2% 1,000 to 2,499 22% 43% 26% 7% 1% 2,500 to 9,999 27% 38% 26% 9% 0% 10,000 to 49,999 23% 31% 33% 10% 4% 50,000 or more 28% 33% 27% 12% 0%

Section Five: Companies are still investing in upskilling and reskilling their employees for future roles
Though looking for outside options, employers are still also looking to invest in their employees to help close parts of the skills gap. Nearly three-quarters (74 percent) are investing in upskilling employees for future roles and 62 percent are investing in the reskilling of current employees. Half of employers are spending $500 or more per employee on their upskilling and 40 percent are spending $500 or more on employee reskilling. Forward-thinking companies are even taking investment in alternative strategies like these a step further, creating their own internal skills boot camps, or considering the use of AI as a way to free up hundreds of manhours spent on repetitive tasks and redirecting staff attention to more complex needs..
Are you currently specifically investing in upskilling your current employees for future roles?[All Employers]

Section Six: Conclusions and Recommendations
Employers across the country indicate that their employees are not adequately trained for current or future roles within the company. This has created a noticeable skills gap that employers feel will not be closing any time soon since they do not see a stable pipeline of qualified graduates entering the workforce after completing their education. As a result, employers are turning to non-traditional candidates and are open to hiring candidates without a four-year degree who have necessary skills. Employers are also spending money on upskilling and reskilling some employees while outsourcing other jobs. Technology and IT roles appear the hardest to fill.
Employers should look increasingly to partner with higher education – 43 percent do not partner with educational institutions to help address these growing needs. The skills gap already exists, so it may take time for higher education to catch-up and add necessary skills into programs, but it can be done and help be a long-term solution to the problem.
In the short-term, employers could devise shorter credentials, including badge/certificate programs with collaboration of higher education professionals. Employers say they lack experts to help retrain individuals; educators from colleges and universities are the subject matter experts in many cases and can collaborate with employers to develop the necessary programs and trainings. There are cases of innovation within higher education to help address just-in-time education such as the creation of badge programs, MOOC-degrees, and competency-based education programs.
In turn, institutions of higher education should become more proactive in reaching out to local employers to ensure their graduates are preforming strongly in the workplace. Identifying new skills, practical experiential opportunities, and technologies that students can be exposed to is key when developing relevant degree programs for students. Already there are successful cases of higher education's partnership with enterprise such as Georgia Tech's partnership with AT&T and University of Arizona's partnership with Starbucks.
If employers and institutions can open a dialogue and establish a way to collaborate, a feedback loop can be created that can benefit everyone, including students and employees.

Have Faith
Hello blog readers! We're 4 days away from starting a new year, and I pray that each of you experience the fullness of God's love in the days and years ahead. I encourage you to start the new year in His Word.
In my last blog, God placed in my heart to share a message of hope. He actually spoke scriptures to me about hope. It was amazing to hear from Him. (His timing is always Perfect) 🙂 Today's message is full of scripture. His word is so good!
Psalm 119:103 How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Today, I feel He's urging me to encourage you to have faith. He truly is Perfect in all His ways. Faith and hope belong together!
Hebrews 11:1 (NIV) Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
(NLT) Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.
Faith is something so powerful and critical for every child of God. I prayed to have my faith strengthened because so many things are attached to having faith. 1 Peter 1:7 describes faith as being "of greater worth than gold". It's very exciting to think about!
I'd like to list some of the reasons why we all should ask for a double portion of faith!
- We receive our salvation and our spiritual inheritance by faith.
1 John 5:13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.
Galations 3:22 But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
We are promised eternal life with God. Our faith in Jesus sets us free from the prison of sin that separates us from Him. It releases us from the authority of the enemy! Faith places us back under the authority of the One who loves and cherishes us — in the Kingdom of Light.
Acts 26:18 to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.
What an amazing free gift (Eph 2:8)! It's your birthright!
John 1:12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God
- Our Helper, the Holy Spirit, is sent to us through faith!
Ephesians 1:13-14 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession–to the praise of his glory.
- We're shielded from the enemy's attacks through faith!
Ephesians 6:16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Have faith in God's protection over you and your family. Your faith is your shield! Pray for a double portion! No weapon formed against you shall prosper!
- The Holy Spirit can overflow us with hope by faith (as we trust)!
Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Imagine what it would feel like to overflow with hope! And to be filled with all joy and peace!! It can be done by the power of the Holy Spirit. What another exciting reason to have faith!
- We can't please God without faith!
Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
The 11th chapter of Hebrews speaks about the many blessings that God's people received by faith. These are people who pleased God very much — and they are commended for their acts of faith.
The enemy knows if he can weaken your faith, he can block many of your blessings! Stand firm against his schemes (Eph. 6:13).
Thank God for His promises — and have great faith in all of them!
1 Peter 1:3-5 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
The Bible tells us repeatedly to stand firm in our faith (1 Cor 16:13). Stand firm in the way of the Lord (Phil 4:1). Stand firm, be strong, and believe with all your heart that God is faithful in keeping His Word.
2 Corinthians 5:7 For we live by faith, not by sight.
God gives us everything we need to be victorious. You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength. All things includes having mighty faith.
Fix your eyes on Jesus. He is the perfecter of faith! Who better to strengthen yours?
Hebrews 12:2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
I encourage you to get in God's Word in the year ahead. Hearing God's Word brings forth faith — which comes with so much abundance!
I leave you with a prayer by the Apostle Paul. I pray this for every one who reads this blog. I pray that your faith in Jesus, and in all of God's promises grows stronger by power of the Holy Spirit.
Have faith in Him — and He will do more than you can ever imagine.
Ephesians 3:16-21 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge–that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
**Some of the scriptures in this article are in parenthesis and not typed out. This is to encourage you to participate, and look them up in your Bible. You'll find that the more you actively get in His Word and study it, the more it comes alive in you. I pray this blesses you!**

4 Important Signs that your Lead Scoring is not Working
Most B-to-B marketers are now bought in to the concept of lead scoring. Using a combination of activity and known data to identify who is ready to speak with sales, and who is not, has become an accepted concept for most marketers who are focused on enabling their sales team.
However in some instances, lead scoring can be set up, but not act as a foundation for sales and marketing alignment. In these cases it offers very little value, as sales does not focus their selling efforts on leads based on lead score, and marketing does not continually focus on driving qualified leads to sales based on the agreed-upon definition.
The path from merely scoring leads to rebuilding the sales and marketing relationship based on a common definition of what a qualified lead looks like is a long one. It involves changing mindsets and business processes. So, as such, it often encounters debate, opposition and change. Those are good signs, as they mean that progress is occurring.
The opposite, however, is also true. There are signs that a lead scoring system is not working to change your business processes and your sales and marketing alignment. Here are four of the best signs to look for:
Sign 1: You are Missing a Clear Matrix that Defines What to Do with Each Lead. It's critical to score leads based on two dimensions; their "fit" and their "engagement." Fit is based on explicit information about who they are, what company they are from, the industry they are in and their role. They are factors that don't change rapidly over time. Engagement, however, is based on implicit information about how interested they are, how responsive they are to your marketing and what they have been looking at on your Web site and social media properties.

Faith leaders denounce tax bill and call for a moral economy
December 2, 2017
Contact: Aimee Thunberg ([email protected])
Faith leaders denounce tax bill and call for a moral economy
Statement of Auburn Seminary President Rev. Dr. Katharine R. Henderson
NEW YORK — In response to the passage of a tax bill by the U.S. Senate, Auburn Seminary President Rev. Dr. Katharine R. Henderson issued the following statement:
"The tax bill passed by the Senate will affect our country's most vulnerable populations and violate the universal tenets of all faiths, which call us to protect the lives of children, the sick and the poor. Our nation needs a moral economy, rather than the proposed tax cuts which likely will lead to the dismantling of existing programs that provide the most basic human needs, including health care, food, housing, and education.
"To deny millions of people services they need so the wealthiest get tax cuts is unconscionable. As people of faith, we must have the moral courage to live up to God's call to do justice, love with kindness and walk humbly. We must denounce the false hierarchy of value — that some lives are more deserving and worthy than others.
"Clergy across the United States must provide comfort and guidance while demanding that our leaders guarantee justice for all Americans. And so we call on faith leaders to raise their voices in support of a moral economy by joining the Poor People's Campaign to demand economic justice. Together, we must work to bridge religious divides, build community, pursue justice and heal the world."
Auburn Seminary identifies and strengthens leaders — from the pulpit to the public square — to build communities, bridge divides, pursue justice and heal the world.

Geek Trivia
The Largest Nests In The World Are Built By?
California Condors
The Microsoft Xbox Was Originally Slated To Be Called What?
Answer: Sociable Weavers
If sociable weavers had a human analog, they'd be the architects and construction crews that build high-rise apartment buildings capable of housing thousands of people. Sociable weavers are small African birds roughly the size of the common sparrow and with similar coloration. Despite their diminutive size, they pool their energy and resources into building enormous multi-family and multi-generational nests.
Colonies as large as 500 or more sociable weavers work together to construct nests that typically weigh more than 2,000 pounds and can easily exceed the size of a small bus. It's not uncommon to see a tree bent under the weight of their nests and not unheard of for their prolific building to outright buckle or snap the tree they've selected as a host platform. The nests can have upwards of 100 discrete chambers, which makes the sociable weaver "hives" one of the largest continuous vertebrate structures in the animal kingdom.
