In the previous assignment, UW Marketing commissioned you to write a route finder tool. Marketing is pleased with your initial results, but now they've asked for a graphical user interface (GUI) that visually draws routes on a map.
You will build your GUI using Java's Swing and Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT) libraries. You will get practice using Swing, event-driven programming, and the model-view-controller (MVC) design pattern.
When you're done, you can share your finished work with family and friends by following the instructions for creating a JAR file.
You are expected to fix any bugs from Homework 8 that affect the correctness or performance of your application in Homework 9. However, you are not required to fix code quality/organization issues in your Homework 8 code. Your Homework 9 code should be well-written and well-organized, but we will not double-count for MVC-related style issues caused by design choices from Homework 8.
Please follow the required checker framework steps as done in homework 7 by adding the @SuppressWarnings("nullness") annotations to any .java files you create. Please remember to run ant validate on attu to make sure you have done this on all necessary files.
You will write a GUI and a main class to launch it named CampusPathsMain.java. This assignment is deliberately open-ended: the exact appearance and functionality of your GUI are up to you. The only requirements are documented below.
For the most part, we are not grading on aesthetics: it doesn't matter whether your GUI looks pretty as long as it implements the required features. Nevertheless, a design that is genuinely confusing or hard to use (at our discretion) will not receive full credit. For example, we will deduct points if we can't easily figure out how to select the two buildings, if it's hard to see the selected path, or if we can only see the whole GUI on your 27-inch monitor. In addition, your program should be generally responsive: for instance, the GUI should not take an unusually long time to find and display paths.
Your GUI is a new View and Controller for your CampusPaths application. Ideally, you should not have to make any changes to your Homework 8 model classes — they already implement all the Model functionality that you need. If you have to make any small changes (for instance, if your design in Homework 8 was poor and some model methods were too closely tied to your text view), then you may do so. As always, all tests from previous homeworks must continue to pass, so you may also need to change your Homework 8 View and Controller in that case. In file hw9/answers.txt, list any changes you made to the model. For each, write a 1-2 sentence explanation of why the change was necessary and what you could have done differently on Homework 8 to create a more general and reusable Model. If you make no changes this file should just contain "None".
At startup, your GUI must fit and be usable on a screen with a minimum of 1024 x 768 resolution. (You may wish to support resizing the window, but doing so is not required.) Most computers provide a way to change the screen resolution, which you can use for testing.
At a minimum, your GUI must provide the following features:
Use only components from the Swing widget set for this assignment. You are also allowed to use components from AWT, on which Swing is built, but try to stick to Swing when possible.
Some IDEs, such as NetBeans, will let you specify the appearance and behavior of your GUI and automatically generate the code for you. You may not use these tools; you must write your GUI from scratch in Java.
Because you probably didn't write automated unit tests for your GUI, ant won't be useful for this assignment. Instead, you can manually launch your GUI from the command line by running the following commands:
cd [PathToYourCse331Project]/cse331/src/hw9 ant build cd ../.. java -cp bin hw9.CampusPathsMain
Those are the commands we will run when grading your program.
If you log into attu via ssh, but when you try to run your GUI on attu you get a message similar to
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.awt.HeadlessException: No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it.
then you need to enable X11 forwarding for your ssh session. If you are are using Linux, this can be done using the -Y switch when starting ssh:
ssh -Y email@example.com
If you normally use Windows, the most straightforward option is simply to log onto one of the Linux workstations in the basement labs to test your program (from these machines use ssh -X to connect to attu. Alternatively, you can obtain special software to enable X11 forwarding on Windows. One free option is Xming used with PuTTY. After installing Xming, launch PuTTY, select "Enable X11 forwarding" under Connection >> SSH >> X11, and log in as normal. Please note that the course staff many not be able to provide complete support for enabling X11 on Windows.
Writing automated tests for GUIs is important, but it is difficult and usually involves special frameworks that are beyond the scope of this course. For this reason, you are not required to write unit tests or a test driver. We will test your solution by running your main program.
We encourage you to get creative with both the appearance and functionality of your GUI! If you do, make sure to get a basic GUI working and commit it to your repository before experimenting. Swing can be finicky, and seemingly simple UI improvements often become big time sinks. If you've committed your working solution, you can always "roll back" to that revision later.
Here are a few ideas for additional features:
ScrollPane so it can be displayed
full-size. When displaying a route or buildings, jump to that spot on the
map and resize if needed. (Hint: you probably need to
getPreferredSize() in your "canvas" class for
scrolling to work.)
List any additional features you implemented, if any, in hw9/answers.txt. Additional features must not mask or replace any of the required features.
Small amounts of extra credit may be awarded for interesting or useful functionality that shows considerable effort. Please make sure the you have the required features functioning before working on the extra credit, and that any extra features you implement do not override or change the required features. Extra credit will not be awarded for pure "eye candy," such as changing the font and color of buttons or adding a border. Extra credit will be applied to final course grades after determining initial course grades; thus, it will not lower your grade if you choose not to work on optional features, but may raise your grade slightly if you do.
Another way to earn extra credit is through the checker framework again. For up to 5 extra credit points remove as many of the @SuppressWarnings("nullness") as you can and try to add the nullness annotations in your code. Not that you can also add the @SuppressWarnings("nullness") directly above individual methods instead of above the whole class.
No matter how much work you do for the extra-credit, please really make sure you run ant validate on your final submission to verify your work builds and your tests pass. Because if ant validate fails because of the nullness checker than the build will fail when our grading scripts run, and you will not pass any of the tests. It is important that the rest of your work for this homework assignment is counted correctly.
Please use the provided resources to help you with this. You can review the checker framework lecture. You can also see the checker framework manual.
Because this is extra-credit, the TAs will not provide help in regards to checker framework annotations in Piazza or through Office Hours. You can definitely use Piazza to discuss ideas regarding annotations amongst each other, but please refrain from posting large, revealing sections of your code that display work done for other parts of this assignment.
If you've never used Swing, it is well worth your time to do some tutorials, read the example code, and generally get comfortable with GUI programming before diving into the assignment. Take it from your peers: in the past, many students who choose the latter approach have reported to us afterward that they wish they had chosen the former.
Abstraction functions, representation invariants, and checkRep() are not required for GUI classes because they generally do not represent ADTs.
User testing is a great way to verify that your interface is as easy to use as you think it is. Show your GUI to your friend/roommate/sibling. Can they can figure out how to use it without directions from you?
As usual, remember to practice good procedural decomposition among other best practices for style. In particular, your GUI constructor and paintComponent will probably be long enough that they should be broken into helper methods.
In addition to the lecture slides and demos, Oracle's Swing and 2-D Graphics tutorials are a useful resource. Also remember to use the Java API, particularly the javax.swing and java.awt packages, to see what classes and methods are available and how to use them.
To display the map and routes, you will want to write a custom component and override paintComponent(). You will use Graphics and/or Graphics2D to do the rendering, as we saw in lecture.
If you have trouble getting things to display at the correct size, make sure you have remembered to call pack() before setting your frame to be visible.
As usual, your program should look for files using relative filenames starting with src.
You should add, commit, and push the following files to your GitLab repository:
Additionally, be sure to commit and push any updates you make to your Homework 8 files.
When you have committed and pushed all of your changes and are done with the assignment, you should create a git tag in your repository named hw9-final and push that tag to your repository. Once you have committed and pushed that tag, your assignment has been submitted and the staff will grade the files in your repository that are labeled with that tag.
Finally, remember to run ant validate to verify that you have submitted all files and that your code compiles and runs correctly when compiled with javac on attu (which sometimes behaves differently from the Eclipse compiler).

Red Wolves peaking at the right time
This season has been a tough lesson in overcoming adversity for the Indiana University men's basketball team.
The Red Wolves lost All-American and leading scorer Lucas Huffman, earlier in this season, but regrouped immediately.
"Anytime you lose someone like Lucas Huffman a third of the way through the season it's a good opportunity to feel sorry for yourselves and have an excuse, (but) we didn't do that at all," head coach Mark Hester said. "Nobody ever hinted that that was the case, they just stuck with it and did a great job of other people stepping up."
The Red Wolves have only surged and come together and are playing their best basketball as they prepare to make another run in the NAIA Division II national tournament.
But don't use the word 'run' around Hester.
"We know we're good enough, but that doesn't always matter," Hester said. "You've got to be able to play well, you got to be able to focus and show up. Right now, it's not about thinking about a run, it's literally thinking about 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, what we're going to do."
The NAIA No. 9-ranked Red Wolves (26-7) travel to the College of the Ozarks' Keeter Gymnasium in Point Lookout, Mo. to take on Reinhardt University (Ga.) (22-9) Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time.
The 32-team men's tournament is divided into four eight-team brackets. The Red Wolves (26-7) are the No. 2 seed in the tournament's "Liston Bracket." The Eagles (22-9) are the No. 7 seed in the bracket.
The Red Wolves advanced to the Final Four a year ago, falling in the semifinal round to University of St. Francis.
"I'm just glad we got three teams from our conference in," Hester said, referring to River States Conference rivals IU Southeast and West Virginia Tech also making the national tournament. "It is what it is, it's about matchups once you get out there."
Based in Waleska, Ga., Reinhardt qualified for the national tournament as the Appalachian Athletic Conference tournament runner-up and are fourth in the nation with 91.1 points per game.
Samuel Bunkley averages 13.4 points per game to lead five Eagles that average double figures.
The others are Nehemiah Jones (13.3), Justin Bridges (12.6), Melvin Irvin (10.6) and Elijah Hirsch (10.3).
Irvin leads with 5.2 rebounds per game and Bridges with 3.1 assists.
"Their coach (Jason Gillespie) used to be the coach at CCU (Cincinnati Christian University), so we played against his teams a lot in the past, they're a really good team, I think they won 22 games this year, were runner up regular season and runner up to the No. 1 team in the country out of their conference," Hester said. "They pose a lot of problems, they're really, really good."
Jordan Furlow has picked up the majority of the scoring for IU East, but what makes them so tough is that anybody can contribute on any night.
Tri-Village graduate Kyle Pipenger averages 13 points per game and was one of four players picked for the 2017 NABC-NAIA Shoot & Slam 3-point contest.
The 3-point festivities take place March 18 and are in conjunction with the 80th Annual Buffalo Funds-NAIA Division I Men's Basketball National Championship at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City.
Jacoby Claypool averages 11.5 points and Jaylen McKay adds 9.5 per contest.
Aaron Thomas is the leading rebounder with 8.5 per game, and Claypool has a team-high 120 assists.
The winner of the IU East-Reinhardt game will face Northwest Christian University or Midland University on Friday at 11:15 a.m. (IU East time) in the tournament's round of 16.
The Red Wolves are coming off a River States Conference tournament championship victory at IU Southeast Tuesday, their first win on the Grenadiers' home floor since joining the NAIA.
"Anytime you beat your rival on their home court it's nice," Hester said. "… They're really good, they're usually really up for us they give their best efforts against us.
"… I thought this time we were ready to go from the beginning and credit our guys for just having the mindset of playing hard from the beginning of the game. Just really proud of our guys for playing well when it mattered."

Hypnosis IS…
Hypnosis — or hypnotherapy — uses guided relaxation, intense concentration, and focused attention to achieve a heightened state of awareness that is sometimes called a trance. The person's attention is so focused while in this state that anything going on around the person is temporarily blocked out or ignored. In this naturally occurring state, a person may focus his or her attention — with the help of a trained therapist — on specific thoughts or tasks.
1. An awake state
Hypnosis requires the active participation of both conscious and unconscious processes. So you must remain awake in order for it to be considered hypnosis. Yes, it is possible to fall asleep during hypnosis, but then it becomes sleep and stops being hypnosis.
During hypnosis, the conscious mind, and the unconscious mind are still present. The only thing that is missing is the critical faculty. The term, critical faculty has many different names depending upon what school of psychology you come from. It's been referred to as the analytical filter, the subjective reality filter, critical mind, and so on. It doesn't matter what term you use, but it's important to understand its function. The critical faculty has been incorrectly defined by many as the part of you that distinguishes between reality and fantasy. This is not true, for if it was, that would mean during hypnosis you would not be able to distinguish between reality and fantasy. This, of course, is not what happens. By modifying the traditional definition slightly, it makes much more sense. It's the part of you that cares to distinguish between reality and fantasy.
During hypnosis, you know what is real and what is not, but you don't care to define any difference. It's exactly like watching a movie or reading a novel. You realize that what you are watching or reading isn't real, but you don't care to acknowledge that while you are being entertained. As a result, your body goes through many different biochemical changes as if it were really experiencing the event in the movie or in the book.
2. A state of relaxation
The critical faculty fades away in direct proportion to the level of relaxation the body and mind are experiencing. The deeper into relaxation you go, the further removed the critical faculty is. However, this does not mean you need to be in a deep state of hypnosis in order to accept the suggestions. In fact, there is, to my knowledge, no study to substantiate depth of trance equating to the success of a hypnotic process. The only exception to this would be in the case of pain control, where it is generally accepted that the client should be in a deep state of hypnosis before any medical procedures have begun. Knowing this, there have been case studies where people have successfully controlled pain in light states of hypnosis as well. The depth of trance for anesthesia is simply a precaution more than a requirement.
3. All about following instructions
Many people believe that hypnosis has to do with intelligence, but in reality, it has everything to do with following instructions. If the hypnotist uses language which is beyond the intellect of the client, they most likely will not be hypnotized. They can't, they don't understand the instructions. However, this is not the client's fault. This is the hypnotherapist lack of sensitivity to the client's low intellect. This is a reflection of a poor hypnotist, not an unintelligent client. The hypnotist needs to organize their language to match that of the intellect of the client. For highly educated clients, use complex language, for uneducated people, use simple language. It will work much better.
4. The ultimate display of control
When people say they cannot be hypnotized because they are a self-proclaimed "control freak" they are mistaken. In fact, when someone claims this you need to inform them that as a control freak if they cannot reach the deepest states of hypnosis immediately, then as a control freak, they are very bad at control. Here's why: if you are in total control of your body, you would be able to be as tense, or as relaxed as you want to be. To say you can't relax because you are a control freak indicates you don't have the control to relax your muscles. This makes no sense. The more in control you are of your mind and body, the more you should be able to reach both extremes of tension and relaxation.
Now if hypnosis isn't about going deaf, and losing control, what is it, and why does it work so well. The reason hypnosis works so well is that the body responds to commands from the mind, much like a robot responds to commands from the programmer. You are in charge, you tell your body what to do.
Here's a great example, when you read a book, do you generate emotions inside your body? What is an emotion? An emotion is a biochemical change. Now, would you ever say for a moment that the words on the page created the biochemical changes in your body? No. What did? It was your interpretation of the words. You interpreted the words in such a way that it created a thought. That thought became so realistic your body created a biochemical shift inside your body as if you were actually in the storyline.
Now would you ever read a book like this, "This isn't happening, this is stupid, I'm not there right now, they aren't real, and this isn't really going on." No, of course not, that would be crazy. But you know what? I have people come to my office, and I'm amazed that some people sit there and under hypnosis do that exact thing. They sit there and say, "This isn't really happening, I'm not floating on a cloud, there's no relaxing waterfall in this room, this isn't really going on at all." Can you imagine? These people are wasting their time and money, not very bright, is it? Look, I know there are no waterfalls in this room, I know you aren't' really floating on a cloud, I just want you to imagine you are like when you let your imagination run free while reading a book.
Here, let me give you an example. Close your eyes, I want you to imagine that you are in your house, and you walk into the kitchen. Perhaps you can imagine the feeling of the floor against your feet. As you walk to the refrigerator, I want you to imagine reaching your hand out, grabbing the handle and giving the door a slight tug. You can feel the magnets holding the seal at first, but soon you hear that all too familiar sound of a refrigerator door opening. Perhaps you could just imagine the feeling of the cool air greeting your skin. And of course the little light comes on, and inside I want you to just pretend that there is a bowl of fresh ripe juicy lemons inside. As you pretend to pick up one of those lemons with your hand, you can imagine the feeling of the cool rind resting in the palm of your hand.
Now, I want you to imagine going over to the countertop and taking your favorite paring knife. Just imagine slicing the lemon into four evenly sliced wedges. Perhaps you can pretend to hear the sound of the lemon tearing as the knife cuts its way through the fibers of the lemon. Juices squirt out on the countertop, and as you pick up one of the lemon wedges between your thumb and forefinger, just pretend that there is juice dripping down onto the palm of your hand. You can imagine seeing the seeds hiding in between the fibers of the lemon.
And now, I want you to imagine placing the lemon wedge in your mouth, and as you bite down your teeth separate the fruit from the rind and you begin chewing that tangy, bitter lemon in your mouth… Now, open your eyes. Notice the amount of saliva in your mouth (while nodding), it increased, didn't it? Now was there really a lemon there? No, but the robot thought so didn't it? Now, I know it's just spit, but it is a chemical. It's just a chemical that we can produce instantly without having to take a blood test to measure, but the same thing can be done with blood pressure, hormone levels, and any other biochemical process.
Remember – The purpose of the lemon exercise is to prove to your client that the body responds like a robot, and whatever the mind sees, the body tends to do. Hypnosis works so well because it creates thoughts in the mind that are so realistic, the body reacts biochemically.
Now What?
First, take some time to learn more about the benefits of self-hypnosis.
Then, learn more about becoming a Certified Sports Psychology Coach. Sport psychology is the scientific study of people and their behaviors in sports and the practical application of that knowledge. Sports Psychology Coaches have endless opportunities to work with athletes ranging from beginning to professional and all points in between. Some coaches build businesses working with youth athletes. Others specialize in sports such as triathlon. Other coaches work with teams in the college and pro ranks. There are no limits to what is possible for your career.
Spencer Institute coaching programs are open to anyone with a desire to learn and help others. There are no prerequisites.
That's it for now.

text: Tunisia has been the nexus of many different colonizations including those of the Phoenicians (as early as the 12 century B.C.), the Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, various Arab and Berber kingdoms, and the Ottomans (16th to late 19th centuries). Rivalry between French and Italian interests in Tunisia culminated in a French invasion in 1881 and the creation of a protectorate. Agitation for independence in the decades following World War I was finally successful in convincing the French to recognize Tunisia as an independent state in 1956. The country's first president, Habib BOURGUIBA, established a strict one-party state. He dominated the country for 31 years, repressing Islamic fundamentalism and establishing rights for women unmatched by any other Arab nation. In November 1987, BOURGUIBA was removed from office and replaced by Zine el Abidine BEN ALI in a bloodless coup. Street protests that began in Tunis in December 2010 over high unemployment, corruption, widespread poverty, and high food prices escalated in January 2011, culminating in rioting that led to hundreds of deaths. On 14 January 2011, the same day BEN ALI dismissed the government, he fled the country, and by late January 2011, a "national unity government" was formed. Elections for the new Constituent Assembly were held in late October 2011, and in December, it elected human rights activist Moncef MARZOUKI as interim president. The Assembly began drafting a new constitution in February 2012 and, after several iterations and a months-long political crisis that stalled the transition, ratified the document in January 2014. Parliamentary and presidential elections for a permanent government were held at the end of 2014. Beji CAID ESSEBSI was elected as the first president under the country's new constitution. Following ESSEBSI's death in office in July 2019, Tunisia moved its scheduled presidential election forward two months and after two rounds of voting, Kais SAIED was sworn in as president in October 2019. Tunisia also held legislative elections on schedule in October 2019. SAIED's term, as well as that of Tunisia's 217-member parliament, expires in 2024.

The steep discounts at which public real estate investment trust shares currently trade point to the probability of flat or moderately declining commercial property values on the whole over the next several quarters, industry players said at a March 21 conference in New York.
"We do think that the REITs look cheap versus private real estate," Jon Cheigh, global portfolio manager for Cohen & Steers, said on a panel of dedicated REIT investors. "But we think that some of this ... perceived discount to [net asset value] is probably just telling us that we're going to see little real price growth, and potentially even some nominal declines in commercial real estate values, over the next few years."
The purported theme of the NYU Schack Institute of Real Estate's 2018 REIT Symposium was the disruption wrought by new technologies, but the favorite topic of conversation was the disconnect between public and private commercial property values, which has intensified in recent months. While REIT stocks have languished, the private real estate market still feels "pretty robust," with $465 billion of transaction volume in 2017, according to Theodore Bigman, managing director and head of global listed real assets investing at Morgan Stanley Investment Management.
Bigman noted that REITs have traded, on average during the modern REIT era — dating back to the early 1990s — at a 5% to 10% premium to NAV. So, late in the cycle, one might expect many to be trading below that average, but the disconnect is "too big," he said.
"The issue is, we're way below that range. We haven't had average discounts at this level since we were well hated during the tech bubble," Bigman said, referring to the late 1990s and early 2000s period. "That was a long time ago. ... We're living in a weird world where private real estate is sought after, and public real estate securities are shunned."
The disconnect between public and private valuations sparked another line of inquiry: Why hasn't the market produced more privatizations, or more M&A of any kind?
Sherry Rexroad, managing director and senior product strategist at BlackRock, posited that the reason the REIT space has not witnessed more M&A of late is because "management has no incentive."
"It's job preservation," she said. "The way that most of our contracts are set up, [there] is not sufficient incentive to sell a company."
Rexroad also argued that the difference between the top and bottom valuations in any given real estate subsector is not significant enough to offset the sizable transaction costs of a large-scale deal for either a public or private buyer.
"The impediments to M&A are certainly there. ... The discount to NAV is going to have to be at least as wide as it is now," she said.
The conversation around pricing spilled into the lunch period, when real estate mogul Sam Zell offered a characteristically contrarian take in an address. Prolonged low interest rates have created unrealistic expectations and a skewed framework with which to assess valuations, he said. The Federal Reserve's anticipated interest-rate hikes this year will likely only raise capitalization rates on commercial property.
"I don't think the [valuation] gap is quite as large as a lot of people have written it up to be," he said.

Piezo ceramic materials have many applications due to their inherent efficiency. particularly they can be used in medical and health applications for ultrasonic imaging and in fields requiring sensors, actuators or filters. During last decade, research to improve piezoelectric properties has been attempted with limited success because the intrinsic physical limits of such materials. Recently, some fundamental work in Japan and USA have demonstrated the feasibility and performance of perovskite-type single crystals containing lead oxide. Unfortunately, these crystals are difficult to grow by conventional methods which will limit feasible manufacturing. However, because of their exceptional characteristics, the consortium proposes to investigate modified crystal growth technologies of leaded and environmentally friendly lead-free compounds and to validate the advantages of using such crystals.
-Innovative crystal growth routes adapted to the growth of piezoelectric single crystals;
-Single Crystals demonstrators, size ranging from few mm3 to more than one cubic centimetre;
-Advanced transducer design and complete ultrasound demonstrators manufacture for single crystal-based devices.

The sky with stars so briiight! The colors feel so riiight!
Sorry, I got a little carried away earlier today. Let's try again, shall we?
Sonic is returning to the Smash series and will be trading blows with Mario as well as the other blue boy, Mega Man. Sonic vs. Mega Man… first the Archie crossover, now this. With this news and Mighty No. 9's hitting just about every single stretch goal, I've never been a happier gamer.
The Smash site has new screens of ol' Needlemouse, who's looking a lot sharper than in his Brawl days. You'll notice that there is a level based on Sonic Lost World, so that's gonna be fun. Also, please enjoy the short clip above, provided by Games HQ Media.

Reid to tap former sergeant-at-arms as chief of staff
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid plans to shake up his senior staff with the selection of the chamber's former top law enforcement official to serve as his new chief aide, according to several sources familiar with the matter.
Reid, a Nevada Democrat facing reelection in 2016, will name Drew Willison, the Senate's former sergeant-at-arms, to replace David Krone, who has led the office since the aftermath of the 2010 elections.
Krone's departure in the new Congress has been expected in Senate circles for months, but his replacement has been a closely held secret. Krone will still have a major role in Reid's reelection campaign and continue to serve as a top political adviser, sources said.
The elevation of Willison may surprise many, particularly since his last job was serving in a nonpartisan role as the chief security official and doorkeeper in the Senate. Still, Willison has long ties to Reid, having joined the senator's staff in 1997 on the Environment and Public Works Committee and eventually becoming staff director of an energy and water appropriations subcommittee that the Nevada Democrat chaired. In 2007, when Reid became majority leader, he named Willison to serve under Terry Gainer, who was then sergeant-at-arms.
The move also provides a window into Reid's thinking heading into what could be a tough reelection bid. While Krone was known as a shrewd political operator prepared for combat with the GOP, Willison has long experience in pursuing the kinds of infrastructure projects and energy programs — such as battling the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste site — that are parochial to Nevada and could aid in Reid's reelection effort.
It is a model that resembles Reid's successful 2010 election effort. At that time, Gary Myrick, a Senate insider with a deep expertise on the chamber's procedures, was the senator's chief of staff, while Reid leaned on his political team in Nevada to run his campaign. Reid is now in the process of hiring a campaign manager, but he will continue to rely heavily on his longtime political hands, led by Rebecca Lambe.
Reid's office said little Wednesday when asked about the upcoming staff changes.
Reid spokesman Adam Jentleson would say only, "There is no timeline for David's departure."
Krone is not being pushed out of his spot, several sources said. Krone's wife, Alyssa Mastromonaco, a former top White House official, was recently hired as the chief operating officer for Vice Media, taking her to New York, where many expect Krone to eventually relocate as well.
Krone, a former telecommunications executive and one-time deputy chief of staff to Reid, has long ties to the senator, often saying he views the Democratic leader as a father figure. The two have been close ever since Krone gave the senator a ride from a Denver airport on the way to a fundraiser in 1992.
During his tenure in the Senate, Krone became one of the most powerful and controversial staffers in the Capitol. He had built strong connections throughout the Senate Democratic Caucus, particularly as he helped lead his party's strategy in bitter fiscal fights with Republicans in recent years. And he has remained incredibly close to Reid, even in the past week, when he helped the senator after he was badly injured in an exercise accident at his home in Henderson, Nevada.
Still, Krone's relationship with the White House has frayed badlyin recent years, with President Barack Obama's team and the staffer sharply disagreeing on political tactics and strategy, particularly after the party's disastrous performance in the November elections.
The move to bring Willison into the position could help repair some of those frosty relations between the White House and Reid, something that could be important as Reid prepares for his reelection bid. Part of that effort to rebuild ties began during the lame-duck session, when Obama announced his executive action to defer deportation to millions of undocumented immigrants in a speech in Las Vegas, appealing to the Hispanic voters who will be critical in Reid's reelection.
But a few days later, back in the Capitol, Reid and the White House misfired, with Obama announcing a veto threat on a tax bill that the Nevada Democrat had been drafting with House Republicans. With Republicans now in control of the Senate and the Democratic leader one of the most vulnerable senators in the country, Reid and the White House are eager to avoid those kinds of errors.
Willison, who was one of 40 people in history to serve as sergeant-at-arms since the position was created in 1789, is well known in the Capitol. A George Washington University law school graduate, Willison served for 13 years in the Senate before leaving for a stint working in the public policy arm of the science and technology firm Battelle. He returned as deputy sergeant-at-arms in 2013 until he replaced Gainer last year.

Is your voice underrepresented in public conversation? If so, you're encouraged to apply for a spot in "Write to Change the World," a workshop created by the OpEd Project and brought to campus by the College of Media, Communication and Information (CMCI).
"The OpEd Project was founded to increase the range of perspectives and quality of ideas in the media," said CMCI's Founding Dean Lori Bergen. "We're partnering with them to elevate the research, voices and influence of CU Boulder scholars of color and other groups who are underrepresented in thought leadership."
The workshop will take place online over one and a half days, which includes a full-day session on Tues., July 21, followed by a morning half-day on Thurs., July 23.
Participants will be asked to write a quick first draft of a commentary, op-ed or public facing essay, of about 500-800 words, between the first and second sessions of the workshop.
Up to 22 CU Boulder scholars will be accepted to the program. Participants' registration fees of $650 will be covered by CMCI, in partnership with CU Boulder's Leadership Education for Advancement and Promotion (LEAP); the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Community Engagement (ODECE); the Office of Academic Affairs (OAA)'s Diversity & Inclusive Excellence Grant; and the Office of Faculty Affairs (OFA).

Restaurant Closes Over Backlash for Telling Server Not to Wear BLM Mask
A restaurant in California is closed for the foreseeable future after a staff member quit because she was not allowed to wear a Black Lives Matter face mask during her shift—prompting a slew of negative comments and even death threats.
The Girl and the Fig in Sonoma shut its doors on Wednesday, following an SFGate report detailing how server Kimi Stout left her job because the restaurant updated its uniform policy and said she could no longer wear the BLM mask.
Stout quit in September, having worn the mask at work for some weeks before that, but only revealed what had happened in a January Instagram video in which she removes a Girl and the Fig T-shirt and throws it in a trash can.
Speaking to the San Francisco Chronicle, the restaurant's president John Toulze said it had shut because of death threats and other messages, with some people saying they wanted to burn down the building.
There are plans to hold a Black Lives Matter protest outside the restaurant on February 14.
"There's no amount of money in the world that's worth it to ask my staff to walk through that and to ask my customers to walk through that," Toulze said.
Toulze told Newsweek he would be holding a press conference about the situation on Thursday morning.
A number of one-star reviews of the restaurant have been posted on sites such as Yelp, prompting the platform to place a "public attention alert" on the Girl and the Fig's page and suspend new reviews.
The alert is placed when businesses are receiving an unusual influx of negative reviews as a result of increased attention or media reports.
"While racism has no place on Yelp and we unequivocally reject racism in any form, all reviews on Yelp must reflect an actual first-hand consumer experience (even if that means disabling the ability for users to express points of view we might agree with)," the alert states.
On September 1, the restaurant announced it was bringing in a policy that required staff to wear Girl and the Fig-branded face masks, or a plain black or blue surgical mask to "provide flexibility but still align with the dress code."
Speaking to SFGate, Stout said she believed the policy was brought in to target her BLM mask, despite previously receiving Toulze's backing to wear it.
"I decided that I was going to wear my mask anyway because, as far as I knew, the president of the company, I had his 100 percent support," she said.
On September 3, Stout wore the BLM mask for a shift. She said Toulze approached her and asked her to turn it around to hide the logo and abide by the new policy.
Stout said she was then told that if she came to work the following day with the mask, she would be sent home.
"I regret to say that I told him, you know, let's just call it now," said Stout. "I don't want to cause a scene. I don't want to cause drama."
In a statement posted to Facebook on Wednesday, the Girl and the Fig said: "We have been quiet for too long. This entire incident has exploded over an employee that did not want to follow the rules. Plain and simple.
"We did not fire her, we did not force her out, she made her own decision to quit because she did not want to follow the rules. She was actually a very good server and we were sorry to lose her.
"We do and have always believed in Black Lives Matters and we know it is a human right issue. I also believe that racism and discrimination have no place in our society. But we also believe that all of us advocating for racial justice must consider the very words and truths shared by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., 'Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that.'
"Please refrain from profanity, threats and hate messages or we will have to delete them. We are open to having positive conversations to listen and to create meaningful learning opportunities."

WASHINGTON -- On the surface, there's not much suspense about what happens next in the battle between President Bush and Democratic lawmakers over the war in Iraq. Bush says he will veto the $124 billion war-spending bill, passed by both houses of Congress last week, that requires him to begin withdrawing troops this year; when he does, Democrats say, they will protest and then send him the money without binding conditions.
That noisy script, however, is just a prelude to a debate -- under conditions likely to be more difficult for Bush -- that could turn into a decisive moment for the course of the war.
To buy time for his buildup of more than 28,000 troops to show results, Bush asked his commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, to deliver a formal progress report to the nation in early September.
That helped stave off Republican defections as Congress debated whether to impose a timetable for troop withdrawals. But it also established September as a deadline for clearer military and political progress in Iraq, a tactical concession for a White House that long has refused to accept any benchmarks or timetables for evaluating the 4-year-old war.
By September, the troop buildup will have been under way for more than six months. But unless there is a dramatic improvement on the ground in Iraq, public support for the war likely will have eroded further. And by September, skittish Republicans will be four months closer to starting their re-election campaigns.
Petraeus, who calls himself "a qualified optimist" on the war, has warned that his report might not satisfy anyone who wants a purely bullish assessment. "People always want to get a sense of thumbs-up or thumbs-down," he said in an interview last week. "What I'd like to provide is a nuanced paragraph. And what we'll end up with is something in between."
But nuances no longer might be enough to keep Republicans from breaking ranks.
"We need to get some better results from Iraq both politically, economically and militarily, and that needs to happen in the foreseeable future," said House Minority Whip Roy Blunt, R-Mo., a Bush-administration loyalist.

According to my former personal physician, Dr. Darren Reimer, who spoke at an event in Steinbach, "There is lots of evidence that gender affirming care is helpful." Yet sadly, gender affirming care has been viciously and relentlessly attacked by conservatives around the world–from Russia to the United States. Dr. Rimer said that much of this evidence is clinical. That means it has been tried and has worked! According to Dr. Reimer, "gender affirming care is real and effective." It reduces gender dysphoria.
Some people experience debilitating gender dysphoria which is the acute and chronic distress some persons experience of living in a body that does not reflect one's gender and the desire to have bodily characteristics of that gender. This is not something invented by the libs. It is real. It exists. Conservative hysteria won't make it go away.
Yet, notwithstanding it's general acceptance by the medical community, conservatives have attacked gender affirming care with relentless hostility. I think the reason is that conservatives fear liberals will take advantage of such care to impose their presumed agenda to get as many people as possible to change their identity. I don't know why liberals would want to that, but conservatives seem to believe this is part of the liberal agenda. On the other hand, I believe that the conservative view is part of their hysteria about sexuality. Hysteria is their agenda. Many conservatives believe that the only permissible sex is that between men and women and then only when each maintains their birth sex and gender.
In part the problem here is the fact that this battle is being conducted in the world of the internet gone mad. As John Oliver said, "So much of the fear of and arguments against transgender people comes from misinformation and misunderstanding. And maybe the biggest and most dangerous area of ignorance comes from the concept of gender affirming care."
In US four states have already scratched access to such care and 15 more are considering similar legislation. According to Oliver, "They have been fuelled by a lack of basic knowledge about what of gender affirming care actually consists."
As Michael Knowles, the host of his own TV show: said If a child walked into a doctor's office and said Doc I want you to cut my fingers off, the Doc would say 'you've got some problems kid we need to refer you to a psychiatrist.' If the child walked into the same doctor's office and said, 'Doc I want you to cut my uterus out, that Doctor would say, 'Oh you're a wonderful brave person. You're right we do need to cut you uterus out as soon as possible. Let's get this young lady over to the operating room.'
That of course is nonsense in hi def. Many conservatives believe that as soon as child declares that he or she is trans, an immediate irreversible decision is made to make the surgery happen. That just is not the way these things work.
This is what I understand about gender affirming care: In young children gender affirming care consists mainly of things like a social transition where the child is allowed to use a new name ,with the parent's consent, or have a new hair cut or wear new clothes. They might get psychological supports to help them to avoid bullying or harassment. When puberty is onset a child, with parental consent, might be given puberty blockers to delay puberty. This can buy time for the young person to make a decision when older about gender identity.
If that treatment is later suspended endogenous puberty will resume. It is not irreversible. It just gives time to think about it.
The next medical intervention is usually hormone therapy which boosts levels of testosterone or estrogen as the case may be. Opponents of such treatment claim this is experimental medical treatment, but that is not true. Some falsely claim it sterilizes people. There are some specific rare risks to fertility in some cases but according to the Yale School of Medicine, the effect is anticipated to be reversible if medication is discontinued.
Nonetheless, as a result of conservative hysteria many states are making efforts to ban gender affirming care.
According to Heather Boerner, in her article in Scientific American, earlier this year, "A decade of research shows such treatment reduces depression, suicidality and other devastating consequences of trans preteens and teens being forced to undergo puberty in the sex they were assigned at birth)." Scientific American also said this in an introduction to the her article: "Laws that ban gender-affirming treatment ignore the wealth of research demonstrating its benefits for trans people's health."
As Michelle Forcier, a pediatrician and professor of pediatrics at Brown University, said,
"The bills are based on "information that's completely wrong…[Those laws] are absolutely, absolutely incorrect" about the science of gender-affirming care for young people. "[Inaccurate information] is there to create drama. It's there to make people take a side."
Here is the truth according to Heather Boerner in her Scientific American article:
"The truth is that data from more than a dozen studies of more than 30,000 transgender and gender-diverse young people consistently show that access to gender-affirming care is associated with better mental health outcomes—and that lack of access to such care is associated with higher rates of suicidality, depression and self-harming behavior."
This aligns nicely with what our own Steinbach physician Dr. Darren Reimer said. In other words, (these are my words now) the misinformation is part of a culture war, not a rational argument, and as we all know, in any war, even a cultural war, truth is the first casualty.

hodograph posted a topic in GSAP (Flash)So I was trying to find a nice way to make a lot of automatic tweens (for lack of a better term) and I found the bubble example from snorkl (http://www.snorkl.tv/2010/12/timelinemax-bubbles-play-pause-and-rewind-particle-systems/) I used his code and modified it to better fit my needs (took out a lot of the randomness and the buttons) but now the clips won't tween. They are placed on the screen, but don't move at all. Also, I already had my own randomRange function defined elsewhere in my project.

FRP bypass code is a kind of hidden code that provides you with additional information or settings which you cannot do normally. Those hidden codes are meant for debugging and engineering purposes only so you need to be cautious during the proceeding.
If you ever get locked out of your phone and don't remember the pin code and other security details, the Huawei FRP bypass code *#*#1357946#*#* helps you get into the settings and change your pin code so that you can unlock your Huawei phone.
So, if you have Android 5.1 or later, you can easily use the Huawei FRP bypass code to avoid the factory reset protection and Google account. But how to use the Huawei FRP bypass code to unlock your phone? Let's have a look!
How to Bypass Google Account with Huawei FRP Code?
If you have factory reset your Huawei phone and have incidentally forgotten your Google account information, you can still unlock your phone using the Huawei FRP code. Here's how to bypass a Google account with Huawei FRP code:
- Step 1. On the welcome screen of your Huawei phone, where it asks you to select a language, tap on the "Emergency Call" option in the bottom-left corner.
- Step 2. Now type the Huawei FRP code *#*#1357946#*#* using the dialer. This will take you to your phone's settings.
- Step 3. On the settings page, go to "Security & Privacy > Lock Screen Password > Set Lock Screen Password" and set a 6-digit pin for your lock screen.
- Step 4. Next, press and hold the side button till the "Restart" and "Power Off" options appear. Tap "Restart > Touch to Restart" to restart your device.
- Step 5. When your phone restarts, enter the pin to unlock the screen and follow the on-screen instructions till you reach the part where it asks you to enter the lock screen password. Enter the 6-digit code.
- Step 6. Skip the part where it asks you to sign in to a Google account. Follow the remaining on-screen instructions, and soon you will reach your phone's home screen. By simply using the lock screen pin code, you can bypass your Google account and unlock your phone. All thanks to the Huawei FRP code!
This method works only in cases where you did not already have a lock screen password. But, if you have a prior set lock screen password that you have forgotten, you will require the help of a third-party app like Dr.Fone to unlock your screen.

If you had set a lock screen password on your Huawei phone but have forgotten it for some reason and don't have access to your Google account, you can still get into your phone using a third-party tool that helps unlock your screen. A tool like Dr.Fone – Screen Unlock (Android).

And that's how you bypass the FRP code and remove the Huawei pin on your phone without a Google account in just a few clicks with the help of Wondershare Dr.Fone! But did you know that your Huawei phone has a hidden menu that can only be accessed via some secret codes? Let's have a look!
Other Huawei Codes You Might Be Interested in
If you own a Huawei phone and would like to go a bit deeper into it than the basic settings, several codes will help you with it. But why would someone want to access the hidden menu? The answer is simple! To get to know the system information and settings, most people are unaware of.
For instance, how many of you know your phone's IMEI number? Or how many calendar entries have you saved on your phone? We're sure most of you can't answer that right away. But, using these secret codes, you can almost instantly get the answers to these questions! So, here are the codes to access Huawei's built-in menu:
If you want to know your Huawei phone's IMEI number, simply enter the code *#06# into your phone's dialer. Your phone's IMEI number will be displayed on the screen, which you can write down for future use.
FCM Diagnostics
If you're having trouble with message delivery on your Huawei phone, entering the code *#*#426#*# will take you to the FCM Diagnostics page, where you can access information to help troubleshoot issues with message delivery.
Calendar Info
I've been using my Huawei Honor phone for almost 2 years, and I have no idea how many calendar events are saved on my device. If you're in the same boat, just type *#*#225#*#* in the dialer and see how many events, including birthdays and holidays, are saved on your phone and Google accounts.
About the Phone
If you want to find out your Huawei phone's model, build number, hardware version, and IMEI number, dial *#*#0000#*#* and access this information at once!
Project Menu
If you want to change the background settings of your Huawei phone, upgrade the software, factory reset it, or want to access the network and battery information, type *#*#2846579#*#* in the dialer.
You can get some of this information from the "Settings" of your phone also; however, a few things like changing the USB port settings, getting information about the phone manufacturer, upgrading your memory card, and checking your battery temperature are features that you can access only through the secret built-in menu in Huawei phones.
Now, wasn't that helpful?
Final Words
It is not uncommon to forget your Huawei phone's lock screen password or lose your Google account information. But with the ever-enhancing security features in smartphones, it gets difficult to unlock your phone without these credentials. However, there are always tricks that can help you bypass the security, like using the Huawei FRP bypass code. But, the Huawei FRP bypass code only works if you don't have a screen lock set in the first place.
If you already have a screen lock, you might require the help of a third-party screen lock tool like Dr.Fone, which can help you remove patterns, passwords, and fingerprint locks in just a few minutes without losing your data. So, the next time you get locked out of your phone, you know where to look for the solution!

Security increased at Coronado HS after threat
Daniel Borunda
El Paso Times
Security will be increased Wednesday at Coronado High School in response to a shooting threat made on social media, an El Paso Independent School District spokesman said late Tuesday night.
EPISD police are investigating and will have an added police presence and security at the school as a precaution, district spokesman Gustavo Reveles said. A message was sent out to parents.
Reveles said that all threats are taken seriously.
Details on the threat against the West Side school were not disclosed.

The sounds of gunshots in a small Arkansas town continue to ring like a bell–a bell that tolls for four little girls and a dedicated teacher who put herself in mortal danger to shield a fifth child from a hail of bullets, unleashed, God help us, by a 13-year-old boy and his 11-year-old pal.
But the bell sounds not only for the innocent dead in Jonesboro. It also tolls for a nation that is turning its back on the moral law it once cherished-a law written on every human heart, yet unrecognized by many members of the younger generation who have never heard about it from their elders.
Are we surprised at the spectacle of children killing children? Are we shocked to open our newspapers, turn on our TVs and look into the faces of a couple of Opie and Beaver look-alikes charged with five counts of capital murder? Didn't we see it coming?
We should have known. . . should have anticipated . . . that children who have watched thousands of murders on prime-time television, followed the deadly exploits of Dr. Kevorkian and been taught that there are no moral absolutes might come to see little harm in gunning down their classmates.
Jonesboro marks a point of crisis, but one that is hardly new or unique. What happened in this small town in Arkansas symbolizes America in moral free fall, America on a rapidly descending spiral, America without God–an America that has forgotten what her founding fathers meant when they warned that only a virtuous people could remain free. If that statement is accurate, and history has consistently validated it, then we are living in the twilight of our liberty.
As always when a culture begins to unravel, it is the youngest members who are most wounded and disturbed. Consider the following reports of unspeakable crimes committed not by hardened thugs, but by lost children:
September 1995: A family made a wrong turn down a street in Los Angeles and was subjected to a hail of gunfire that killed their little girl. Gang members poured bullets into the car for the sheer fun of it. 1
November 1996: A teenage girl delivered a child in a Delaware motel, then she and her boyfriend allegedly beat the child to death, placed it in a plastic bag and dropped it in a dumpster. 2
June 1997: A New Jersey teenager gave birth to her baby in a bathroom stall at her high school prom. She dropped the baby in the trash, then returned to the dance floor, where she asked the band to play her favorite song, "The Unforgiven."3
October 1997: A 16-year-old boy in Pearl, Mississippi, allegedly slayed his mother, then went to school and shot nine students, killing two, including his former girlfriend.4
December 1997: A young boy opened fire on a prayer meeting at Heath High School in West Paducah, Kentucky, killing three and wounding five of his classmates. 5
December 1997: A 14-year-old boy in Stamps, Arkansas, allegedly fired sniper rounds outside his school, wounding two students. 6
March 1998: In Dallas, Texas, four teenagers claiming to be vampires went on a drug-crazed destruction spree, vandalizing dozens of cars and homes, spray-painting racial slurs and burning down the office and fellowship hall of Bethany Lutheran Church.7
April 1998: In Yonkers, New York, a 15-year-old girl, upset that her teacher called her parents about her poor academic performance, attacked the pregnant instructor with a hammer. The teacher suffered multiple skull fractures. 8
April 1998: In Indianapolis, Indiana, police have begun random searches for weapons on school buses and in elementary schools after an 8-year-old boy allegedly pointed a gun at a female classmate who was teasing him about his ears. 9
April 1998: Four teenagers in Santa Cruz, California, were arrested on charges of drugging an 11year-old girl and raping her. The teens allegedly raped her in a parking lot, and then drove 10 miles to a wooded area where they smoked heroin and raped her again for several hours. The police said that the girl was so drugged that she could not fend off their attack. Assistant District Attorney Bob Lee said, "They took the child and did about everything . . . they could. It's as egregious as it could possibly [be].'10
This chronicle of children who have committed horrible crimes is symptomatic of a culture in chaos. John Hazlewood, whose 14-year-old son Brandon attends the Westside Middle School in Jonesboro, Arkansas, said it best: "This is not the kids' problem, it's the way we're raising them today. They only know what you teach 'em."11
Where did we go wrong? At least some of the answers can be found in the radical notions that have emerged in the last 30 years. Judges, with the acquiescence of our legislators, have made it illegal for our schools to post the Ten Commandments. It is becoming increasingly difficult–and dangerous-for PUBLICATION'S TITLE: Family News From Dr. James Dobson ISSUE DATE: May 1998 STATEM ENT OF FREQUENCY: Published Monthly AUTHORIZED ORGANIZATION'S NAME AND ADDRESS: For us on the Family, Colorado Springs, CO 80995 ISSUE NUMBER: 5 students to pray together on school campuses; meanwhile, it's easier for a man or woman to obtain a divorce than to escape from an automobile lease agreement. The President of the United States embraces the radical homosexual movement which opposes the legal basis of marriage as a lifelong commitment between one man and one woman. States are prohibited from protecting innocent children, in the process of being born, from those who would puncture their skulls and suck out their brains. Those who oppose this infanticide are called "extremists" by our political leaders. Federal authorities decline to prosecute hardcore pornographers. The government spends billions to promote "safe sex" ideology in our schools, and officials hand out condoms and pills to kids who assume they're expected to use them. Laws protecting children from indecent material on the Internet are struck down by justices to protect the right of adults to market pornography. Video poker machines dot the landscape of a nation that was built on the principles of thrift and deferred gratification. The "entertainment" industry glorifies violence and sexual exploitation, while pop music pays tribute to the killing of police and the raping of women. And the list goes on. How much carnage must we witness at our feet before we will raise our eyes to Heaven?
The American people know we are in a moral crisis. According to a poll conducted by Luntz Research, 80 percent believe immorality is our greatest problem as a nation. 12 But our leaders don't seem to comprehend what is happening. It's time we all pulled together–Americans of every political party and religious faith–to recover a sense of what God wants us to do for our nation.
Let's begin by giving priority to our children. In days gone by, the culture acted to shield them from harmful images and exploitation. Now it's open season for even the youngest among us. Let's put the welfare of our boys and girls ahead of our own convenience and teach them the difference between right and wrong. They need to hear that God is the author of their rights and liberties. Let's teach them that He loves them and holds them to a high level of moral accountability.
Let's do everything in our power to reverse the blight of violence and lust that has become so pervasive across this land. Let's demand that the entertainment moguls stop producing moral pollutants. Let's recapture from the courts that system of self-rule that traditionally allowed Americans to debate their deepest differences openly and reach workable solutions together. Radical individualism is destroying us! The creed that proclaims, "If it feels good, do it!" has filled too many hospitals with drug overdosed teenagers, too many prison cells with fatherless youth, too many caskets with slain young people and caused too many tears for bewildered parents.
Let's vow together today to set for our children the highest standards of ethics and morality and to protect them, as much as possible, from evil and death. America can't be perfect, but it can be better–much better. To surrender to evil is to yield to the despair that leads to death. We must be bold enough to draw a line in the sand. We may have to endure some name-calling, harassment and lawsuits for it, but as the good people of Jonesboro know, that isn't the worst thing that can happen.
On May 7, America observed what the Congress of the United States has designated as the National Day of Prayer. That emphasis should occur not just once each spring, but throughout the year, as we ask the Father to intervene on our behalf. We must also pledge ourselves anew to the principles that have made this nation great: hard work, sexual restraint, a commitment to family, a rejection of violence and reliance upon the hand of Divine Providence.
By this effort we can begin to atone for the blood of the innocents that stains our streets and neighborhoods. We can start to restore the qualities that prompted Abraham Lincoln to call us an "almost chosen people."13 We can approach again the throne of our Father, seek His face, humble ourselves and pray, and know that He will hear from Heaven and heal our land.
Let's make America a "shining city upon a hill" once more. If we fail, we need not ask for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for our beloved nation.

Quakers in Canada
Part 2 of the Quaker Study sessions on Simplicity, Delivered by Mark Burch at Canadian Yearly Meeting 2014. In these sessions, Mark Burch took us on a journey into simplicity. Since much of the violence in the world is structural in nature and is imposed on our behalf on distant others whose suffering is out of sight and therefore out of mind, Mark urges us to reduce it by cultivating personal and regional self-reliance through simple living. He explores how our lives have become encumbered, the spiritual roots of simplicity, and how we may regain it.
