The Johnson Amendment – Let's Keep It Intact!
Under terms of the 1954 legislation (named for its principal sponsor, then-Sen. Lyndon Johnson), churches and other nonprofit organizations that are exempt from taxation "are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office," according to the IRS website.
In short, nonprofits cannot endorse political candidates.
The law was written to be unambiguous and to draw a hard line in the sand for nonprofit organizations. Since 1954, charitable organizations have heeded this rule with few exceptions so that they remained "politically neutral," while still discussing policies related to their mission.
Yet, today, there is enormous confusion among the public, some policy makers and congregations (the law also applies to churches) about what can be said in the normal course of business.
While the law specifically forbids endorsement of candidates and interventions in those campaigns, it certainly does not curtail the rights of nonprofits, their employees or their boards from discussing policy issues. Those policy issues can be seemingly innocuous (should PTAs be required to collect and remit sales tax on a school carnival bake sale), but they could also veer into hotly contested social issues that have become increasingly political in the last several years.
According to the law, nonprofits can certainly discuss those issues, take sides and stances and encourage others to advocate on them. These include issues such as abortion, gun rights, marriage equality, the death penalty and more. The confusion about limits to their speech has emerged because the public and legislators have confused policy with candidate endorsement.
Many organizations have public policy platforms that may resemble one of our political party's own platforms. However, as long as the nonprofit or church doesn't specifically endorse a candidate for office, they can discuss those platforms and stances with their own constituents. Pastors may freely preach on those issues, nonprofit leaders can advocate on those issues, and all can produce issue guides for voters WITHOUT fears of an IRS audit.
Moreover, most nonprofit organizations have policy platforms that are more nuanced or mixed, and don't easily fall into a political party's own platform. Take for instance a church that takes a strong position against abortion and then takes a position against the death penalty. This is why neutrality is so important, as political parties may have different platforms on either subject.
More importantly, nonprofits cannot dictate to their staffs on how they must vote or prevent staff members or volunteers from participating in elections as individual citizens. Individuals speaking on their own behalf may endorse candidates themselves, put signs in yards, bumper stickers on their cars and fully participate in the electoral process WITHOUT fear of reprisal. The line is crossed only when the nonprofit itself endorses a candidate.
The National Council of Nonprofits, Independent Sector, BoardSource and the Interfaith Alliance have all voiced opposition to eliminating the Johnson Amendment. In a statement from Independent Sector, CEO Daniel Cardinali said, "Allowing the endorsement of political candidates is tantamount to allowing political agents to use the public's goodwill towards the charitable sector as a vehicle to advance, through financial contributions, their own partisan political will."
BoardSource President and CEO Anne Wallestad went further by saying, "It will spiral out of control — fast. Practically speaking, if section 501(c)(3) organizations were allowed to electioneer, 501(c)(3) organizations would be created and managed for the express purpose of influencing elections." She also noted that nonprofits already have an avenue for participating in elections by forming a 501(c)(4) organization.
The Johnson Amendment has served for more than six decades to maintain a neutral and level playing field for organizations. While their policy positions might be construed as political, crossing a line into candidate endorsement would be detrimental to the neutrality of the nonprofit sector and the trust it enshrines with the public, donors and policy makers.
In fact, the only people that would benefit from taking away this vital piece of legislation would be the candidates themselves. This would eventually erode a long-held trust among those in the charitable sector. Nonprofits do not want to risk the loss of donors should they endorse a candidate. Nonprofits should also NEVER be forced to endorse a candidate as part of the terms within a contribution. In the end, destroying the Johnson Amendment would eventually destroy trust in the charitable sector, harming the very people we serve.

Merseyside's Police Commissioner will chair a meeting of the Safer Merseyside Partnership today.
This innovative partnership, previously known as the Merseyside Community Safety Partnership, was formed by the Commissioner to bring all her partners in community safety together.
Chaired by the Commissioner, the group aims to develop and enhance multi-agency approaches to reducing crime and disorder. Through co-operation and consensus, it works to make communities safer, support victims and bring offenders to justice, focusing on three of the Commissioner's policing and crime priorities for Merseyside:
The Partnership meets quarterly and provides a forum for members to share information and advice on key police and crime issues. It also gives members an opportunity to discuss new or proposed legislation and help them all to work towards maintaining and improving an efficient and effective criminal justice system.
While this is a private meeting for invited members only, the minutes from these meetings are published on this website.
See the minutes and find out more about the good work of the Safer Merseyside Partnership.

I'm using the LaTeX bundle in TextMate to write pdf files.
Its cool, and gives a nice report of whats going on.
However, it has the habit of putting all the generated files into the same directory as your source, TEX file. I would like it to put everything in a sub directory called "target" so I can easily keep these seperate.
Its easy to get the pdflatex command to do this, you simply specify the
-output-dir=./target on the options. And happily, the LaTeX bundle allows me to pass custom options.
1) After running
CMD-R, there is a button for "preferences" at the bottom of the output window. Click this and in the typesetting box, select pdflatex and then you can put some options. Put in the string above.
Sweet, so now it generates its stuff into the target dir. Except for a file called (synctex.gzip).
However, the viewer (Skim is good as it syncs the doc position), is still looking for the pdf in the source folder .
A bit of delving about can hack this to work.
2) Open the texMate.py file. This can be found by showing package contents for your TextMate.app, and going into
This itself is a package, so again show package contents.
Support/bin is where the texMate.py file is.
You are looking for a function called
run_viewer in my version its on line 182. change the following line:
fileNoSuffix = getFileNameWithoutExtension(fileName)
fileNoSuffix = 'target/' + getFileNameWithoutExtension(fileName)
Ok so now it should open up ok, but you also want to be able to jump to a point from the tex file. Do this in
sync_viewer, in mine its just above, on line 172. the line you need to change is the same.
This opens the viewer ok, but doesnt sync. Here is where our
synctex file comes in. Remember its up in the source folder?
What we need to do is MOVE it to the target folder once the build is completed.
3) Write a new function to move the synctex file to the target dir:
def move_synctex_file_to_target(fileName, filePath): """Copies the synctex file to the target directory""" fileNoSuffix = getFileNameWithoutExtension(fileName) sourceFilename = fileNoSuffix + '.synctex.gz' syncfile = shell_quote(filePath + '/' + sourceFilename) targetPath = shell_quote(filePath + '/target/') mvCommand = 'mv '+ syncfile + ' ' + targetPath print '
Moving synctex file to target [%s]...
' % (mvCommand) runObj = Popen(mvCommand,shell=True,stdout=PIPE,stdin=PIPE,stderr=STDOUT,close_fds=True) stat = runObj.wait() return stat
Then you can insert this into the part which is doing the build:
elif texCommand =='latex': texCommand = engine + " " + constructEngineOptions(tsDirs,tmPrefs) texStatus,isFatal,numErrs,numWarns = run_latex(texCommand,fileName,verbose) if engine == 'latex': psFile = fileNoSuffix+'.ps' os.system('dvips ' + fileNoSuffix+'.dvi' + ' -o ' + psFile) os.system('ps2pdf ' + psFile) move_synctex_file_to_target(fileName, filePath) if tmPrefs['latexAutoView'] and numErrs < 1: stat = run_viewer(viewer,fileName,filePath,tmPrefs['latexKeepLogWin'],'pdfsync' in ltxPackages or synctex)
We already have these two variables, fileName and filePath. This was line 603 in my installation.
QUESTION: is all this worth it ?
Not sure. Also haven't tried bibtex yet.
So bibtex just required me to change it so that when you loop over the aux files you invoke bibtex with "./target" i.e.:
runObj = Popen('bibtex'+" "+shell_quote("./target/" +bib),shell=True,stdout=PIPE,stdin=PIPE,stderr=STDOUT,close_fds=True)
Then you have to run bibtex and run pdflatex twice to update your references.
The whole thing is uploaded here - texMate.py.txt so in theory you can just swap yours out.

Mozzarella Sticks
Great for parties or a fun lunch at home, these Gluten Free Mozzarella Sticks have the perfect, cheesy crunch.
|12 oz
|mozzarella string cheese
|6 slices
|Artisan Baker White Bread
|3 tsp
|italian seasoning
|3/4 tsp
|3/4 tsp
|black pepper
|1/2 cup
|rice flour
|eggs, beaten
|For frying:
|canola oil
|For dipping:
|marinara sauce
- Cut the mozzarella sticks in half.
- Put the bread in a food processor or blender and pulse until it's a fine crumb, around 20 seconds. Place crumbs on a shallow dish and mix in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Whisk the eggs briefly and pour onto a separate shallow dish.
- Put the rice flour on a third shallow dish.
- Roll a mozzarella stick in the rice flour to coat, then roll in egg, letting excess drip off. Finally, liberally dredge in breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere. Set aside and repeat with remaining sticks.
- Freeze breaded sticks on a plate for 2 hours, or up to 2 days in a sealed plastic container. This prevents the cheese from melting when fried.
- Pour oil in a frying pan until one inch deep. Put on medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees F. Carefully drop the sticks, four at a time, into the oil, and fry for one and a half minutes.
- Remove finished sticks from pan and place on paper towels to drain off excess oil. Repeat frying with remaining sticks.
- Serve with heated marinara!

There's something magical about the end of summer. These last weeks of August have a golden glow- not as bright and happy as those first days of summer. But filtered with a nostalgic feel. It's like we are already looking back on summer days, even before they are over. Maybe it's because the next chapter of a Autumn is almost larger than life- with back to school, crisp weather, colorful crunchy leaves and all things Holiday- but August is like the slow Sunday sunset of summer.
There are a few scrapbooking layouts created with my summer collection that capture this feeling- and I wanted to share them with you. Maybe they will inspire you to capture the feeling of these August days- maybe they will just nudge you to tell the stories of whatever season you are in as you read this. Every season has a special story- how awesome is it that as memory keepers, we can tell those stories in such an artful way?

Markets Research Reports.biz added deep and professinal market research reports on "Global and China Low and Medium-voltage Inverter Industry Report, 2013-2016 " Market Analysis and Overview
Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/09/2014 -- Global and China Low and Medium-voltage Inverter Industry Report, 2013-2016
In 2013, the rising demand from China's industrial control industry helped drive the recovery of low and medium-voltage inverter market, with the market size of low and medium-voltage inverters in China for the year hitting about RMB22.57 billion, up 5.2% from a year earlier.
In terms of market structure, the market was dominated by low-voltage inverters, while medium-voltage inverters, due to limited application, occupied a far smaller market share than low-voltage inverters. However, China witnessed a rise in the proportion of medium-voltage inverters in the low and medium-voltage inverter market, from 8.7% in 2006 to roughly 15.8% in 2013, hence with broad development prospects.
Visit Complete Report Here: www.marketresearchreports.biz/analysis-details/global-and-china-low-and-medium-voltage-inverter-industry-report-2013-2016
In the field of low and medium-voltage products, the Chinese enterprises mainly produce V/F control products. As for the products such as vector inverter with superior performance and high technical content, the overwhelming majority of Chinese enterprises still not have developed mature products. Currently, the major local players in Chinese low and medium-voltage inverter market are comprised of INVT, Inovance Technology, STEP Electric, Hiconics Drive Technology and EURA DRIVES, etc. In 2013, Inovance Technology occupied a 3.4% market share, making it the manufacturer with the biggest market share in China.
At present, the market share of foreign manufacturers in the Chinese low and medium-voltage inverter market exceeds 70%. In 2013, the top 5 low and medium-voltage inverter manufacturers by market share were all foreign companies, namely ABB, Siemens, Yaskawa, Delta Electronics and Schneider Electric, of which the market share of ABB and Siemens were 16.6% and 15.4%, respectively.

Hoisting machinery and elevators are the major two industries in which the Chinese low and medium-voltage inverters are widely used. And in 2013, the market size of the low and medium-voltage inverters for hoisting machinery and elevators in China reached approximately RMB3.24 billion and RMB2.12 billion, respectively. Market concentration rate of low and medium-voltage inverters for elevators was relatively higher in China, and the top 3 suppliers in terms of market share in 2013 were Inovance Technology, Emerson and Yaskawa. In addition, Fuji Electric and Schneider Electric also held a certain market share.
Energy conservation and environmental protection are the driving force to promote the development of China's low and medium-voltage inverter industry. Frequency conversion technology is in the process of transforming from speed governing to energy conservation. In future, most low and medium-voltage inverters will be replaced by those that have conducted automated transformation or the imported ones, and Chinese enterprises will focus on the development of control and drive technologies. It is predicted that during 2014-2016 the Chinese low and medium-voltage inverter market will keep an AAGR of around 9%, and the market size is expected to reach approximately RMB30 billion by 2016.

Esprit gives Brussels a good name: The success of Europe's ten-year research programme on information technology has overturned the notion that Brussels is merely a comfortable haven for overpaid administrators
IN THE early 1980s, an economist in the US coined the term 'Eurosclerosis'
to describe Europe's apparent inability to master and exploit the challenge
of new technologies. Today, the pessimism has virtually disappeared, as
many of Europe's industrial and political leaders express a new-found confidence
in their ability to stay on equal terms with their US and Japanese competitors.
In the vanguard of this cultural revolution has been Esprit, the European
Strategic Programme for Research in Information Technology, launched by
the European Commission in Brussels in 1984 at the initiative of the then
commissioner for industry and research, the Belgian viscount Etienne Davignon.
Many of those who have been closely involved in the development of Esprit
since then met in Brussels at the end of last month to examine the successes
and failures of the programme so far.
The meeting took place at a critical time. The European Commission is
currently negotiating its total budget for research over the next five years
under the so-called Framework Programme.
A key question is how much further the Commission should go in providing
public funds to support the development of Europe's information technology
industry. By 1993, this will be the largest economic sector in Europe, and
almost two-thirds of other industrial and service sectors will depend upon
it for their efficiency and competitiveness. The Esprit conference was told
that the successful use of IT will be vital if European industry is to exploit
the changes heralded by the advent of the single market in 1992. The conference
even touched on the potential of IT in establishing new links between Eastern
and Western Europe. …

Snapbridge XStudio 2.0 and Snapbridge FDX
Snapbridge Software
Carlsbad, California
(760) 431-3630
Snapbridge provides two chunks of interesting software for the
enterprise. FDX is a high-speed transformation and fusing engine tht can
put together multiple data sources (including databases, flat files,
and Web services, among other possibilities) to make XML files.
XStudio is a desktop environment for creating XSL transforms without
actually knowing XSL, just by dragging and dropping things. Together,
they're meant to form the backbone of a corporate data distribution
system. Both FDX and XStudio are Java applications, and in fact the team
that built them has some heavy-duty experience with both Java and XML.
The overall architecture here is pretty easy to grasp. The FDX server
takes in information from multiple data sources, and spits them back out
as XML. You then layer on XSL, created with XStudio, and fed the results
to the user as part of the presentation layer. The server is stateless
(so you can use load balancing to increase its capacity if need be), and
includes configurable caching facilities as well as LDAP security
integration for column-level security. The basic idea is that instead of
just passing static XML around your organization, you can use XML to
convey any sort of dynamic information just by letting FDX generate the
XML on demand. FDX can also push data back to other systems.
The XStudio editor is pretty easy to use, though like most Java
applications it seems to willfully disregard Windows user interface
standards. The XSLT workspace lets you load up an XML document to work
with, and then create a picture of what you want to end up with by just
dragging and dropping nodes around in a "DesignPad" area. At the end of
the process, you can generate the corresponding XSL file with a single
mouse click. In its current beta incarnation, the documentation of all
this is a bit sketchy, but it does work easily and naturally after a bit
of poking around.
XStudio also has a separate bit of user interface for editing XRAP
files. XRAP is the (proprietary) eXtensible Repository Access Protocol,
which is what Snapbridge uses to define the objects and XML that it
This software is expected to ship some time in the first quarter of
2004, though you can register on their Web site and download the same
beta version that I worked with (and as betas go, it seems to be quite
stable). Pricing hasn't been announced yet, but the company told me it
would be "enterprise-level", in the neighborhood of $25,000-$50,000 per
CPU for the server. Obviously at that price you'll need to do some
serious evaluation, but if the notion of using XML as glue for
everything in your organization appeals to you, it's worth taking a

Queer Appropriations: Shakespeare's Sonnets and Dickinson's Love Poems
Páraic Finnerty, University of Portsmouth
Abstract | Jewel and Pearls | Conferring of Titles | To make Me Fairest of the Earth | Two Queens | Conclusion | Notes | References
While it is expected that nineteenth-century love poetry would engage with Shakespeare's Sonnets, considering their status and pervasive appeal at the time in Anglo-American culture, this paper puts forward the case for Emily Dickinson's specific borrowings from these poems. More specifically, within the context of their afterlife, it argues that the Sonnets provided the American poet with an authoritative and, at the same time, controversial resource for her construction of love. It examines Dickinson's use of a vocabulary of aristocratic and economic tropes, love triangles, imagery of light and darkness, physical beauty and erotic multiplicity, which she would have identified as Shakespearean. His unconventional sonnets, it will be suggested, offered Dickinson a means of validating the traditionally feminine position of powerlessness within the discourse of love, of representing female desire for a male figure, and of constructing poems that connote same-sex love. Like the Sonnets, Dickinson's love poems are queer: They unsettle repressive categories of gender and sexuality and make possible the signification of same-sex passion. This paper continues current discussion of the queer afterlives of both writers as an antidote to the intrusive and spurious biographical readings of their brief, repetitious, and figurative lyrics.

The question is about finding the solution of a cubic inequality. Our task is to find the solution of the cubic inequality. Inequalities are crucial to understand many topics that are tested in the CAT exam. Having a good foundation in this subject can help us tackle questions in Coordinate Geometry, Functions, and most importantly in Algebra. A range of CAT questions can be asked based on this simple concept.
Question 2: Solve the inequality x3 – 5x2 + 8x – 4 > 0.
Let a, b, c be the roots of this cubic equation
a + b + c = 5
ab + bc + ca = 8
abc = 4
This happens when a = 1, b = 2 and c = 2 {This is another approach to solving cubic equations}.
The other approach is to use polynomial remainder theorem
If you notice, sum of the coefficients = 0
=> (x - 1) is a factor of the equation. Once we find one factor, we can find the other two by dividing the polynomial by (x - 1) and then factorizing the resulting quadratic equation.
(x - 1) (x - 2) (x - 2) > 0
Let us call the product (x - 1) (x - 2) (x - 2) as a black box.
If x is less than 1, the black box is a –ve number
If x is between 1 and 2, the black box is a +ve number
If x is greater than 2, the black box is a +ve number
Since we are searching for the regions where the black box is a +ve number, the solution is as follows: 1 < x < 2 OR x > 2
The question is "Solve the inequality x3 – 5x2 + 8x – 4 > 0."
Choice B is the correct answer.

text: Spotify Sets April Date to Begin Public Trading 10:49 AM PDT 3/15/2018 by Natalie Jarvey FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Dorothy Hong Spotify's Daniel Ek - H 2014 The company confirmed during its investor day that its shares would begin trading April 3 on the New York Stock Exchange. Spotify has confirmed that its shares will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on April 3. Company executives shared the news on Thursday during its first investor day. They also revealed that Spotify would provide full-year financial guidance on March 26. The 10-year-old music-streaming company is forgoing the traditional IPO process in which bankers underwrite the sale of its shares. Instead, the company is going to skip the standard lockup period and begin listing directly on the NYSE under the ticket symbol SPOT. "For us, going public has never been about the pomp or circumstance of it all," Spotify CEO Daniel Ek told the crowd gathered for the investor-day event or listening via live stream. "You won't see us ringing any bells or throwing any parties." The exec went on to explain that "the traditional model for taking a public company isn't good for us" because he believes that it causes companies to focus on short-term goals. "The most important day isn't our listing day. It's the day after and the day after that," he added. Spotify, which Ek co-founded in Stockholm, has 71 million paying subscribers and 159 million total users. It brought in $4.99 billion in revenue in 2017, up from $3.6 billion the previous year. But it lost $461 million last year. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Natalie Jarvey email@example.com NatJarv

Would you recommend this product to a friend?
I've been in the market for a new snowboarding jacket for about 5 years. I am probably one of the most indecisive people alive, and a snowboard jacket is an expensive investment, so I never pulled the trigger till now in fear of buyers remorse. I am so glad I finally did and couldn't have made a better choice. I get constant compliments, and it kept me perfectly warm and dry while it was dumping in the back bowls of Vail. The customer service at Buckman's was outstanding as well. I could not speak more highly of them. I purchased the jacket a week before black Friday, the jacket went on sale for $60 off a few days after I paid full price. I emailed them with no expectations, and to my delight they sent me a store gift card for $60. After I told my boyfriend how these guys helped me out, we both were saying how we won't shop anywhere else for our gear. Excellent customer service and top notch gear!
Buckman's Ski & Snowboard Shops Response:
Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for choosing Buckmans!

sock goblins!
I recruited some outside help to assist with my tree curses. Meet the sock goblin!
Sock goblins eat tree curses for breakfast, and then nap. Next time I should probably make recruit a goblin that's also a masseur, my neck still hurts like hell and I'm almost out of vidocin…
More tree monsters!
I discovered another scary tree yesterday, and this one was worse than the jabberwocky tree because it turns out it lives on the campus where I work! Not only that but I've been standing at the bus stop in front of it for years and until yesterday always turned a blind eye to the evil that lurked so close by.*
This particular breed of tree monster is especially heinous, as it can affect people who come near it and learn its secret! Case in point- I am home from work today, hoped up on vicodin from a busted back muscle, all because I care about you people and want to warn you about the dangers of monster trees. But no tree monster will keep me from telling you about…the angry radish tree!
For those without the blessing/curse of monster vision:
This monster tree is a particularly angry breed, as it has to sit and watch all day while college kids throw frisbees at it, make out under it, and/or throw up from too much beer around it, and all the monster tree can do is sit and fume because it has such tiny, useless legs. Overtime, it has developed a way to shoot curse lasers out of its crazy eyes, as you can see clearly depicted above. So this guy just sits and wiggles his tiny, useless arms and legs all day while shooting curse lasers at anyone who gets too close- like poor, unsuspecting me. The curses take time to set it but apparently manifest as pulled shoulder/neck muscles that you don't feel until you wake up, at which point you can barely move and Dr. FianceeHusband has to wash your hair for you because you can't move your arms up that high, and then you take a vicodin left over from when you were in the hospital last year because you think it is a muscle relaxant and it turns out it totally isn't, but who cares because even though you are still in pain, you feel awesome about it. Side effects of the curse (or possibly the vicodin) include moments of severe clarity and madness sprinkled between serious space out periods, aka cat-like behavior.
So this tree may sort of look like a radish at first, but if you dare to look close enough you can actually see that it is much more serious than that. It is actually a pecan tree that grew up out of a live oak trunk, deforming both in the process. No wonder it is so evil. But also seriously a cool example of biology in action!
And we all know that the live oak part must be the evil part, as scientific evidence has shown** that pecan always makes things awesome, not evil.
I think my vicodin has worn off because my awesomeness has decreased drastically and my pain is starting to matter again. Stupid tree curse!
*Unintentional rhymage is all part of the curse. Or the vicodin.
** Scientific evidence= me growing up in Austin, pecan-central. Mmm…
follow up!
So, I wanted to follow up on my "where did the phrase 'bat shit crazy' come from" from the last post- this enigma was solved by Dr. FianceHusband!! He did a minor stint of bat field work, and one of the guys working with him told him that guano, since it is super good fertilizer, actually attracts a specific fungus that releases neurotoxins into the air that make you act all sorts of crazy. Hence, "bat shit crazy!" Everything is right with the world…ok maybe not but I do feel slightly more complete having not only solved that mystery but blogging about it as well. Ah, I love etymology…entomology is lovely too, but something completely different.
Also I'd like to point out, also in reference to my last post, that just because I push for treating blondes as real people does not mean that I don't also respect people with other hair colors (or breast sizes). Seriously, I'm sorta not good at telling hair color anyway. I could've sworn that for most of my childhood my mom had red hair, when in actuality she only had red hair for a little while, while I was super young, then let it go brunette again. Still, every time I'd describe my mom she was always a red head in my brain. Imprinting is an amazing psychological thing, people!
In other news*, I think the spawn of the jabberwocky tree I saw last weekend have moved into the "attic" space above my apartment. We're on the top floor, so I can't hope that the crazy scrabbling noises that I hear coming from just a few feet above my head are being generated by a neighbor's cat. Moon, who heard the monsters move in a couple weeks ago and kept trying to tell me by staring fixedly at a spot on the ceiling for hours, has totally been shooting me withering "I told you so" glances all day. Or she's just being her normal cat self. I seem to barely recall hearing the same noises for a while last year, but I take a lot of meds so memories are fuzzy things for me and tend to be highly influenced by whatever cartoon I just watched. And I certainly hope it's jabberwocky spawn because if it is rats I'll die of allergies (thank you very much, work!), and if it's possum I will die of puking at the grossness. Raccoons I can handle. Monster spawn? I'd have to look into how to deal with them on an individual species basis. Personally I'm going to hope** it's a family of obamacorns.
Technically I should be sleeping, since it's a Thursday and all, but screw technicalities because I'm off tomorrow! I took the day off because tomorrow is my mom's birthday (she would've been 52), and it's a good thing 'cause I'll need to spend it preparing for a TEACHING INTERVIEW!! After attending a career fair a couple weeks ago at my university (where I was the oldest "potential employee" and people kept asking me when I'd be graduating- jerks) I learned about this accelerated teaching certificate program, where you spend the summer cramming like mad about how to teach and deal with kids (I think there is a section on how to use flamethrowers), then you start teaching in the fall! Holy crap! On a whim I applied to it, which involved writing annoying essays which reminded me of high school which made me rethink wanting to be a teacher, even on a whim. Anyway the application went in and now I have to go teach other applicants something "age appropriate" which I have no idea what is. When I was in high school, age appropriate biology lessons involved making up answers for my biology worksheet because everyone knew that Coach Smith, who "taught" the class, had a volleyball game the night before and a rehearsal for his Christian folk band***, so there was no way he would actually be grading our work seriously. This was seriously my only biology class in high school, and yet I became a biologist. I always figured that being a scientist was way glamorous, but I am totally wrong. And you know what? Teaching pays WAY more than being a science tech. Also? No more begging for money worrying about funding cycles and grant renewals. And in all honesty, I actually really like teaching biology. Also I would totally be the hot but bat shit crazy teacher that everyone remembers forever, when they are off being doctors and real scientists and living in places that are not infested with monsters. Which by the way the cats are totally not interested in any more, which makes me think that the cats and the monsters have made a deal of some sort involving the monsters coming in and eating me in my sleep, as long as they are quiet and don't wake up the cats****. Good thing I don't have to work tomorrow! 'Cause I'll be staying up all night now, awaiting my monster-induced demise!
*HA! See, Kurt, "other news" stories are important!
**Haha, I was funny with out meaning to be!
***On days when we were supposed to be learning real science that made Coach Smith uncomfortable, like reproduction or evolution, he'd play us tapes of his Christian folk band rehearsals instead. How the hell did I become a biologist?!? The only piece of information that I remember "learning" from that guy was completely wrong- right before he turned on one of his rehearsal tapes, he told us "all you need to know about reproduction is that Y is dominant" with a stupid I'm-a-coach-not-a-real-teacher look on his face. This is wrong on so very many levels, people. Ethically, socially, but most importantly biologically. If you think that the Y chromosome is dominant I'll let you blame it on a bad biology teacher but know now that this is a classic case in biology of there being no absolutes. Other than there being absolutely no people alive with only a Y and no X chromosome. Suck it, Coach Smith!
**** I told Dr. FianceHusband this theory and he reassuringly said "don't worry, Moon wouldn't let them eat me. She loves me." True. However, I'm totally screwed. Kiwi loves me but is crazy dumb so he'd probably either pee on my laundry again or bring the monsters his toy, thinking we were playing a fun game and it was totally his turn to play. Or he'd just jump on my face.

That day, in the tearoom
My head throbbed and my soul ached
And I was tired, so I needed water
To pop a pill and not fight it out.
I asked for it and turned around
And I saw you there
The sharp eyes
The sharp nose
The hair, and your hand cupped your face.
Wind knocked out of my lungs
Eyes wide in shock
I must have been a sight
Coz you removed your hand from your face
And it wasn't you!
It was someone else.
Not a spitting image with the hand not cupping the face anymore
It wasn't you
But it was enough to tell me
That my pride was false
I hadn't locked you out
You could still shake me
Only that it wasn't you, it was someone else
And I don't know what would be worse
If it were you
Or that it wasn't you.

Listen, I, I'm thrilled that people have jumped on board and have jumped on board also with like very, very heartfelt comments. But I also am looking at and am really touched by a lot of the, you know, people who aren't celebrities because I can see the hashtag IStayHomeFor and there is a lot of, you know, thousands and thousands, and there they're all individual stories of doing something for someone that they care about."

- Story Text:STORY: Kevin Bacon might be encouraging people to stay at home on social media with his trending hashtag #IStayHomeFor, but he and his family have found fun cooking together and making music as they find themselves holed in at home in California.
The "Footloose" actor was in the middle of filming the second series of "City on a Hill" in New York when production had to be stopped due to the coronavirus.
Since he has been back at home with his actress wife Kyra Sedgwick and son Travis, Bacon told Reuters in an interview on Monday (March 23) that the biggest challenge so far has been not having physical contact with his daughter Sosie Bacon:
"I've seen my daughter on the street, but we're not actually touching. So that's pretty, you know, it's pretty strange," he said.
Bacon has been putting his newfound spare time to good use posted a video message to his Twitter account on Wednesday (March 18), urging people to "stay home for" loved ones and the vulnerable. He then asked them to post a similar video message or image of them holding a sign with the hashtag #IStayHomeFor and who they are doing the self-isolation for - in his case, actress wife Kyra Sedgwick, and to nominate six others.
Since then stars and people around the world have engaged with the idea, including singer-songwriters Elton John and Mariah Carey, footballer David Beckham and TV host Ellen DeGeneres.
"I'm impressed by all of them. Listen, I'm thrilled that people have jumped on board and have jumped on board also with like very, very heartfelt comments," Bacon told Reuters.
"I also am looking at and am really touched by a lot of the people who aren't celebrities because I can see the hashtag 'IStayHomeFor' and there is a lot of, you know, thousands and thousands. They're all individual stories of doing something for someone that they care about," he added.
Bacon is hopeful that once it's all over, he will be back to work.
"I just love the work, and I'm always extremely grateful that I ever have work and have work at this age and am still able to work as an actor, which is something that I really love to do," he said.
"My hope is that will, you know, eventually get back to some sense of normalcy, and we'll be able to be up and running," he added.
As of Monday, March 23, according to John Hopkins University data, the coronavirus outbreak has killed more than 15,000 worldwide.

Sleep Apnea
Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a common, yet serious sleep disorder that can cause severe complications. Someone with sleep apnea has an interruption in their breathing during sleep. When it goes untreated, they may stop breathing multiple times throughout the night, each time putting them at severe fatal risk. Every time they stop breathing, the brain and rest of the body isn't getting a sufficient amount of oxygen. It is extremely important than someone with sleep apnea get treatment for it as soon as possible.
Types of Sleep Apnea
There are two main types of sleep apnea; obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and central sleep apnea (CSA). Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common type of apnea and is caused by a blockage of the airway. This usually occurs when the soft tissue in the back of the throat collapses while the person sleeps. Central sleep apnea, on the other hand, is less common and doesn't involve a blocked airway. With central sleep apnea, the person's brain is failing to signal the muscles to breathe properly, usually from an issue with the respiratory control center.
Risk Factors of Sleep Apnea
There isn't a known reason why some people get sleep apnea and others don't, but there are a variety of risk factors. First, it is important to note that sleep apnea can occur with someone of any age, including young children. The common risk factors for sleep apnea include being over the age of 40, being overweight, being male, having large tonsils, a large tongue, or a small jaw bone, having family members with sleep apnea, having a neck size larger than 17 inches if you're a man or larger than 16 inches if you're a woman, having gastroesophageal reflux, sinus problems, allergies, or a nasal obstruction from a deviated septum.
Symptoms of Sleep Apnea
Aside from not breathing while you sleep, which you may not notice, there are other signs and symptoms of sleep apnea. This includes having high blood pressure, heart failure, a history of irregular heartbeat or heart attacks, diabetes, stroke, depression, or ADHD that seems to be getting worse. You might notice fatigue during the day, waking up with headaches, restless sleep, irritability, or insomnia. Without proper treatment, you may notice behavioral, emotional, and psychological changes from the lack of oxygen sent to your brain during the times when you stop breathing.
Diagnosing Sleep Apnea
The only way to diagnose sleep apnea is to have a sleep study, also called a polysomnogram. This will monitor your physical and brain activity while you sleep. If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, you will most likely need to use a breathing machine to ensure your safety with the medical condition.

Assume migrating the following SP (stored procedure) from MSSQL to DB2 (full source code)
CREATE PROCEDURE getCustomers( @CUSTID INTEGER = NULL, @CUSTNAME VARCHAR(100) = NULL, @CUSTLASTACT DATETIME = NULL ) AS BEGIN DECLARE @SELECT NVARCHAR(MAX); DECLARE @WHERE VARCHAR(MAX); SET @SELECT = 'SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER'; SET @WHERE = ''; IF @CUSTID IS NOT NULL SET @WHERE += ' AND CUSTID = @pCUSTID'; IF @CUSTNAME IS NOT NULL SET @WHERE += ' AND CUSTNAME = @pCUSTNAME'; IF @CUSTLASTACT IS NOT NULL SET @WHERE += ' AND CUSTLASTACT >= @pCUSTLASTACT'; IF LEN(@WHERE) > 0 BEGIN PRINT @WHERE SET @WHERE = SUBSTRING(@WHERE,5,9999); PRINT @WHERE SET @SELECT = @SELECT + ' WHERE ' + @WHERE; END; DECLARE @PARAMDEF NVARCHAR(MAX); SET @PARAMDEF = ' @pCUSTID INT, @pCUSTNAME VARCHAR(100), @pCUSTLASTACT DATETIME'; PRINT @SELECT; -- PRINT @PARAMDEF; EXECUTE sp_executesql @SELECT, @PARAMDEF, @pCUSTID = @CUSTID, @pCUSTNAME = @CUSTNAME, @pCUSTLASTACT = @CUSTLASTACT; ENDThis SP prepares simple SQL query statement adjusting WHERE clause to the input parameters accordingly. There are 8 combinations of WHERE clause here. All combinations are covered by single sp_executesql statement.
At first glance it is very easy to translate this SP to DB2 syntax. The DB2 equivalence of sp_executesql is PREPARE, EXECUTE or OPEN {cursor} command. But unfortunately DB2 does support named parameter markers in PREPARE statement for dynamic statements.
The number of variables must be the same as the number of parameter markers in the prepared statement. The nth variable corresponds to the nth parameter marker in the prepared statement.Parameters are assigned to markers in order from left to right. The number of parameter markers should correspond to the number of parameter values in EXCUTE or OPEN{cursor} statement. Otherwise exception is raised. So single instance of sp_executesql should be replaced by 8 instances of EXECUTE statement covering all cases of WHERE clause.
Of course - it is not feasible.
First solution
One solution is to develop the SQL statement in the fly.
IF pCUSTLASTACT IS NOT NULL THEN
SET WHERE = WHERE || ' AND CUSTLASTACT >= ' || pCUSTLASTACT; END IF;But this solution is vulnerable to SQL injection risk and open a security gap.
Another solution is to add ELSE clause to have a constant number of parameter markers (full source code).
IF pCUSTLASTACT IS NOT NULL THEN SET pWHERE = pWHERE || ' AND CUSTLASTACT >= ?'; ELSE SET pWHERE = pWHERE || ' AND ? IS NULL'; END IF; IF LENGTH(pWHERE) > 0 THEN -- PRINT @WHERE SET pWHERE = SUBSTR(pWHERE,5,9999); -- PRINT @WHERE SET pSELECT = pSELECT || ' WHERE ' || pWHERE; END IF; PREPARE STMT FROM pSELECT; OPEN DC USING pCUSTID,pCUSTNAME,pCUSTLASTACT;But I'm not happy with that and do not like blurring simple SQL query only to meet syntax requirements and decided to develop a simple DB2 implementation of sp_executesql routine.
Simple DB2 implementation of sp_executesql
The solution contains two SP : external Java and SQL
- Keep original MS/SQL query statement untouched (with named parameter markers)
- Prepare associate map: marker name -> parameter value (equivalence of list of parameters to the sp_executesql procedure)
- Java external procedure scans query from left to right and replaces named parameter markers to DB2 ? marker and prepares list of parameter values in the proper order.
- Example: input query "WHERE CUSTID = @pCUSTID AND CUSTLASTACT=@pCUSTLASTACT" is replaced with "WHERE CUSTID=? AND CUSTLASTACT=?" and output list contains corresponding parameter values in proper order is created accordingly.
- SQL_EXECUTESP routine declares a cursor and invokes OPEN DC clause regarding only the number of markers in the input query string.
PREPARE STMT FROM MQUERY; IF PARS IS NULL THEN SET CARD = 0; ELSE SET CARD = CARDINALITY(PARS); END IF; IF CARD = 0 THEN OPEN DC; ELSEIF CARD = 1 THEN OPEN DC USING PARS[1]; ELSEIF CARD = 2 THEN OPEN DC USING PARS[1],PARS[2]; ELSEIF CARD = 3 THEN OPEN DC USING PARS[1],PARS[2],PARS[3]; ELSE ERRVAL = RAISE_ERROR('70001',CA || ' number of markers in the statement too big'; END IF;The source code :
- deftype.sql : contains type definition and external Java SP signature.
- PrepareStm.java : external Java SP procedure body (called internally by SQL_EXECUTESP)
- SQL_EXECUTESP : SQL main procedure
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE getCustomers ( pCUSTID INTEGER DEFAULT NULL, pCUSTNAME VARCHAR(100) DEFAULT NULL, pCUSTLASTACT TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NULL ) DYNAMIC RESULT SETS 1 BEGIN DECLARE pSELECT VARCHAR(32000); DECLARE pWHERE VARCHAR(32000); DECLARE NAMEDPAR PARVARARGS; SET pSELECT = 'SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER'; SET pWHERE = ''; IF pCUSTID IS NOT NULL THEN SET pWHERE = pWHERE || ' AND CUSTID = @pCUSTID'; END IF; IF pCUSTNAME IS NOT NULL THEN SET pWHERE = pWHERE || ' AND CUSTNAME = @pCUSTNAME'; END IF; IF pCUSTLASTACT IS NOT NULL THEN SET pWHERE = pWHERE || ' AND CUSTLASTACT >= @pCUSTLASTACT'; END IF; IF LENGTH(pWHERE) > 0 THEN -- PRINT @WHERE SET pWHERE = SUBSTR(pWHERE,5,9999); -- PRINT @WHERE SET pSELECT = pSELECT || ' WHERE ' || pWHERE; END IF; SET NAMEDPAR['@pCUSTID'] = pCUSTID; SET NAMEDPAR['@pCUSTNAME'] = pCUSTNAME; SET NAMEDPAR['@pCUSTLASTACT'] = pCUSTLASTACT; CALL SQL_EXECUTESP(pSELECT,NAMEDPAR); END
Final remarks
- The main advantage of this approach is that original SQL query is kept untouched (opposite to the ELSE approach). Also the execution flow is the same. This lessens the danger of introducing regression errors during migration.
- It is not necessary to replace :{marker name} with ? sign. DB2 also supports markers with semicolon as a prefix although the 'name' does not have any meaning.
- It impacts the performance because additional algorithm is performed (parameter matching). In case of warehouse where the main workload is related to the query execution it does not matter a lot (additional execution time is a small constant value). But if performance penalty is too expensive it is possible to optimize the Java routine, replace Java with C++ external or even to get rid of Java routine at all and replace it with pure SQL code.
- While calling Java external routine array of maps (PARVALS type) is replaced by two PARVARARGS arrays. Unfortunately, external Java interface support only ARRAY of simple type values (chars, integers etc) indexed by integers and does not support more complex ARRAYs.
- SQL_EXECUTESP routine declares CURSOR .. WITH RETURN TO CLIENT (not CALLER). It means that result set can be caught only by the client application (Java, C++, CLI) and cannot be intercepted by another SQL calling routine.

A team of students from the Glasgow School of Art/University of Glasgow came up with a really interesting study project: Finding a new way to tackle blue badge fraud.
These students are developing something that will stop people without a blue badge from parking in the disabled parking spaces.
Here is the original post they submitted in an online forum:
" Innovation for Parking with Blue Badge
we are a team of product design engineering students at the Glasgow School of Art/University of Glasgow and are currently working on a project about daily journeys for the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce.
For this project, we decided to develop something that stops people without a blue badge from using disabled parking spots. To do this, we came up with a concept for which we would really appreciate any sort of feedback from you.
General Information:
- Our Concept uses the new regular blue badge being issued since 1 January 2012 but has an additional tag attached to it.
- The new regular blue badge already has a unique code that is registered on a national database. Traffic wardens can access the national database for verification checks in order to tackle fraud.
- The changes applied to disabled parking space: a parking post is placed at each disabled spot.
Procedure: Parking at a Disabled Parking Spot using our Concept
- Find a disabled parking spot as you normally would.
- Get the car into parking position. Proximity sensor automatically detects whether there is a car situated in the parking spot.
- Now two possibilities:
you have a blue badge with a tag attached to it: the parking post detects the signal sent from the tag and recognises that you are entitled to park here. It then gives you positive feedback that your badge was recognised. You can now leave the car and do everything like you normally would.
you don't have a blue badge: the parking post detects that you are not entitled to park and a light goes off making the parking offender feel embarrassed and ashamed.
- Once you want to leave again, you simply drive away. The parking post automatically detects that you left and the next person is able to use the parking spot.
We would really appreciate every comment. Negative or positive. Any other ideas or comments are more than welcome as well. Thank you very much!"
I can't wait to read your feedback on this matter! You can respond and / or read comments the students received right here.

At the time of the battle when Toto and his friends finished killing the [[Zombie Eggs|Zombies]], the Buzzard Eggs would attack with their remote-control matchbox cars. All of them were defeated thanks to Coco and Iguano rammed the first car, while the second car lost control because the Bacon get batteries. At the end of the movie all of the Buzzard Eggs and surrendered coexisted peacefully with the ground girls eggs. ===Un Gallo con Muchos Huevos=== Those servants of Egg Witch were now dancing inside in Palenque and Apolonio took advantage of flirting with Bibi, but she tied his feet with his whip, leaving him on his head.

Love that the Ticats brought Dan LeFevour into the CFL and think he'll be a great fit there should he beat Tate Forcier out (which I think he will). Should that come through the Ticats potentially walk into Game 1 with the best trio of QBs going. Maybe not the best starter but a group that I would love to run a season with.

HNN recaps 5 things to know from 2009 with stories and videos as part of its look back at 10 years of the hotel industry.
GLOBAL REPORT—Into the second year of a global economic recession, forecasts for the hotel industry were grim, and the only solace offered to hoteliers was that surely it could only get better from here, or at least it couldn't get much worse.
STR, parent company of Hotel News Now, "dramatically" revised its year-end forecast that July, projecting declines of 8.2% in occupancy, 9.7% in average daily rate and 17.1% in revenue per available room.
In a video interview with HNN Editorial Director Jeff Higley (below), then STR President Mark Lomanno said he expected the reaction to the revised forecast to be "that STR has probably finally gotten realistic."
At STR's inaugural Hotel Data Conference that August, Lomanno offered this silver lining: "2009 is not positive, but when you look at 2010, we start getting signs from the general economy that conditions are going to start to improve."
Meanwhile, as a result of the recession, new hotel construction was largely on hold as lending dried up; and despite an unemployment rate of 8.5% in the U.S., the industry was struggling to find good labor.
Still, there were a few bright spots for hoteliers.
In March 2009, the first formal agreement was signed for the multibillion-dollar Baha Mar Resort in Nassau, Bahamas, which finally opened in phases in 2017.
Hotel companies forged new identities, with the debut of the united Hilton Worldwide and Accor's separation of its hotels division into what was then Accor Hospitality.
The recession also didn't stop new hotel brands from being launched (Hilton's Home2Suites was announced in January 2009; and Marriott International debuted its Autograph Collection that November).
As it does today, tragedy emphasized the bonds and best instincts of the industry and hoteliers when, in the aftermath of deadly bombings at its JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels in Jakarta, Indonesia, Marriott took to Twitter to issue updates, share condolences and spotlight its hospitality in the face of terror.
Here's a look at five other top stories from 2009 that represent the pulse of the industry or had some lasting effect on it.

New solutions for automotive light weighting
Tuesday, 13 February 2018
As a global solution provider to automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, Henkel continues to drive progress in sustainable light weighting technologies with new composite and adhesive products and extended global Composite Lab capabilities.
Henkel presents its new Loctite MAX 5 matrix resin for carbon fiber reinforced composite wheels during JEC World 2018. The new technology is designed to replace aluminum in this demanding chassis application and builds on the introduction of Loctite MAX 2 for use in glass fiber reinforced leaf springs. The new resin combines high temperature resistance, toughness and long-term durability with rapid mold filling, thorough fiber impregnation and high curing rates for cost-efficient large volume production.
Suitable for high volume production and automotive industry
Another spotlight will be on the company's new Loctite UK 2032 adhesive for multi-substrate designs, following the introduction of Loctite UK 2015 at last year's JEC. Both adhesives are isuited for bonding structural parts made of composite materials with distinctly different coefficients of thermal expansion, from plastics to e-coated steel or aluminum.
Loctite UK 2032 and Loctite UK 2015 are specifically designed to meet automotive performance requirements as well as high volume production demands.

Pilots Say SFO Crash Not Their Fault
The four pilots flying the Boeing 777 that crashed in San Francisco Saturday have told federal investigative teams that the plane's automatic throttle was to blame for the accident.
During interviews Tuesday with the National Transportation Safety Board, the pilots—three of whom were in the cockpit as the plane went down—said that they had set the automatic throttles (which work like a car's cruise control) to keep up a speed of 137 knots, but that the system had failed to function properly.
But air safety experts are saying that, far from being a good excuse, these claims indicate that the pilots were relying way too heavily on the plane's technology—and that they could have taken manual control of the system at any point.
"Whether it was engaged or not working is almost irrelevant," said a former pilot and an air safety consultant. "The big mystery of Flight 214 is why in God's name did these two pilots sit there and allow the air speed to get so low."
Another aviation consultant, Hans Weber, has said that monitoring the speed of the plane is "the most basic responsibility of the pilot, like breathing in and out."
He added that it looks like "pilots are paying attention to the computer rather than paying attention to the fundamentals."
The Asiana Flight 214 crashed into San Francisco International Airport on Saturday, when it flew in both too slowly and too low, after which the tail struck a sea wall and was ripped off the rear of the aircraft. The plane then went into 360-degree spin before slamming into the runway.
The accident killed two teenage girls, and injured hundreds more.
Apparently, because U.S. regulations don't cover foreign licensed pilots, none of the crew was tested for drugs or alcohol after the crash. .

Sensitive analytical method for particle-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: A case study in Chiang Mai, Thailand
Using a MiniVol air sampler, respirable particulate matter (PM 10) was collected from 4 areas in Chiang Mai City. Concentrations of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the PM10 samples were determined by extraction from a quartz fibre filter with acetonitrile using an ultrasonicator, before filtering and evaporating prior to GC-MS analysis. The mean 24 h PM10 levels in a suburban area, a community area, and two traffic-congested areas were found to be in the ranges 15-54 μg/m 3, 23-60 μg/m3, and 67-144 μg/m3, respectively. The mean total concentrations of the 16 PAHs in the PM 10 samples were in the ranges 2.7-8.4 ng/m3, 3.9-9.1 ng/m3, and 7.6-16.6 ng/m3, respectively. The amount of PM10 was fairly well correlated with particle-bound PAH concentrations. Temporal variation clearly affected the PM10 concentration but it was not so clear in the case of particle-bound PAHs. The average benzo(a)pyrene-equivalent carcinogenic power values showed that community areas had a better air quality than traffic-congested areas. The diagnostic ratios revealed that diesel engine emissions might be the main source of PAHs in the ambient air of these areas.

by Melissa Borgmann-Kiemde, Visitation Companion
I was chopping zuchinni and bell peppers on Tuesday afternoon when I learned that the United States was considering a military strike on Syria. Standing in my kitchen, tuned into National Public Radio, I heard US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announce that the US was "ready to go" when it comes to launching a military response to the alleged use of chemical weapons on the people of Syria.
"We have moved assets in place to be able to fulfill and comply with whatever option the president wishes to take," Hagel told BBC News.
I tuned into the broadcast for the next 45 minutes, uneasy in my belly, focused in my brain, open in my heart.
"We can't go without a reaction when confronted with chemical weapons. … It must be punished, it cannot remain without consequences."
What is the response of a person of faith to such information? What is the call for a woman of compassion, a man of prayer, a person concerned for all of creation when confronted with news of war and retaliation?
A week earlier, I had read about the suspected use of chemical weapons in the attacks outside Damascus and watched as print media published images of the victims. Updated death tolls are staggering: 1,429 people killed, including 426 children.
It's heart-wrenching, this news, these horrific, unfathomable kinds of crimes against humanity — the consequences of a people at war.
As our leaders discern an appropriate response, my faith, education and imagination brings me into questions of next steps alongside those of our world's leaders.
I wonder:
What is the root cause of this Civil War in Syria?
Who are the factions that are sparring?
What are their needs?Wants?
What is the role of any onlooker, any leader, any humanitarian, any relative outside this war zone?
What does it mean to answer a chemical weapons attack or provide further consequences?
Can we put out a metaphorical fire with more fire?
What would a teacher or middle school principal do if this was a hateful attack in his or her hallway?
What would a prophetic, unpopular Christ request in the face of such venomous activity?
I get to the hopeful, bottom-line of my prayerful inquiry and ask:
What response would transform the circumstances and foster an environment for peace, well-being, and thriving for all involved?
Is it radical to not want to retaliate on the persons responsible for using chemical weapons? To assert that consequences are unnecessary, because they already naturally exist in the warring heart, the warped leadership, the sad, and terribly hurt humans at the helm of this Syrian regime, and the countless dead.
Nothing will bring back the dead.
But, as a world of resourced humans, we are able to address the needs and wants of the people on the ground. And we are able to respond with compassion. With diplomacy. With love. With our faithful human witness to the atrocities that have preceded and included these attacks.
I pray about what's next and I ask you to join me.
Will you hold space for a non-violent response to the already at war and weaponized world? Will you help me seek solutions that honor the dignity and God-given gifts of all involved? Will you help me see the face of Christ in each person, from the Syrian President and Defense Minister to each citizen of this Middle East Region, to the US and British and French leaders, to the Russian and Chinese and Iranian allies, to those at the helm of Al-Quaeda?
Will you help me "Live + Jesus"?
