For years he has kept an open, yellow highlighted Christian bible displayed front and center, quite prominently, on his official USAF work desk in an open office work environment. The egregious Constitutional and DoD regulatory violations of such a brazen display of sectarian Christian triumphalism and exceptionalism have been noted by many USAF members through the years but they have not sought to officially seek redress and remediation from this outrageous display of callous and bold Christian primacy from their respective USAF chains of command due to all-too-credible fears of reprisal and retribution from same.Yep, sounds like an egregious violation of the U.S. Constitution to me! But the military authorities are listening! In fact, they even reopened the case when Weinstein and his cooperative informants (Air Force personnel who anonymously claim to be quaking in their boots because of Major Lewis's terrifying open Bible) kept pressing.
Feltman [the Colonel in charge of the investigation] says when the issue was first raised, the display seemed in compliance. But after the MRFF complaint, he says, "We're going to go back and look at that to see if we're in compliance and if not, we're going to take corrective action."Three years ago the Air Force adopted a new anti-proselytization policy. I wrote about it at length and debated liberal commentators about it here. This appears to be the fruit of that policy. Draw your own conclusions. If you think the investigation and re-investigation of Major Lewis's having an open Bible on his desk where (gasp) people can see it is a reasonable response to a real problem, then I conclude that you are not a reasonable person on this issue. Even if Major Lewis is ultimately allowed, graciously, to have the Bible on his desk, the process is to some extent the punishment. The fact that one's career will hang by a thread for having a Bible on one's desk is likely to have what we legal geeks call a chilling effect on religious expression in the military. Weinstein didn't get as far in his call for a court martial (!) of Major General Craig Olson for an openly Christian speech to Congress, but not for want of trying. Chaplain Modder wasn't so lucky. He was eventually reinstated after being hounded out of the Navy for his Christian moral views, but his case dragged on for a long time, and he actually was removed at one point. His ultimate recovery of his job hardly makes up to him for what he went through and does not remove the warning to other chaplains. If you are a clueless political candidate whose eyes glaze over when someone asks you a question about the current problem with religious liberty in the military, I suggest that you start with these cases. Also see the video here. This is one area where we certainly don't need the permission of the Supreme Court to make a difference.]]>
Both conservatives and liberals tend to approach the issue in absolute and uncompromising terms, but there are ways to resolve this conflict that will allow for both religious freedom and protections for LGBT students while minimizing further litigation. By increasing transparency about Title IX exemptions and codes of conduct, easing the transfer process for students who cannot abide by the codes of conduct, and taking a strict stance on bullying and abuse, religious schools can retain their distinctive mission while protecting students.Actually, there is no way to "resolve this conflict," because the left is bringing this battle to us and will accept nothing less than complete and unqualified surrender. But what "resolution" does Noble suggest? His first recommendation is that schools be clear about their standards. Schools should
be very open about their values and codes of conduct. Students should understand the kind of religious community they are joining when they enroll so that they can make a prudent decision about what is best for them.Noble must know that any self-identified Christian school will have a student handbook and that, if the school is self-consciously conservative on the matter of homosexuality, the handbook will address these issues explicitly. It's a bit puzzling that he would talk as if this is some new advice that schools aren't taking. Does he actually know of Christian schools that are unclear about whether you're allowed to have homosexual sex or be housed as a member of the opposite sex but that, in fact, have traditional moral standards in practice? (See below on Baylor. It is not at all clear that Baylor does have traditional sexual standards in practice.) I find that highly implausible. The criticism of Christian schools arises in large measure because the schools are clear about this matter. So why bring up such a piece of advice? Indeed, a separate Atlantic article, linked from the one I'm currently writing about, complains all the more about schools that forbid homosexual expressions of couple-hood or dating. Perhaps clarity isn't all that valued by the compromise-makers after all. If anything, it's precisely the schools who try to be extra kind and "supportive" of homosexual students and to oppose "bullying," as advised otherwise in Noble's article, that are likely to create cognitive dissonance. If the letter of the law (student handbook) states that you're not supposed to be having homosexual relations, but if an admissions officer assures you sweetly that the school is opposed to "hate and bigotry of all kinds" and has very strong codes to "make LGBT students feel safe and welcome," that could create a sense of a bait and switch if the student is later told that he can't be having sex with his boyfriend, much less "marrying" him, and remain a student at the school. So Noble's advice is, if not strictly inconsistent, unlikely to be applied consistently in real life. It's the very schools that are clearest and most consistent about their moral standards that are most likely to be accused of being unkind, unsafe, and "bullying." Perhaps Noble's concern here is directed toward Baylor University (his alma mater) which removed its policy forbidding homosexual acts from its student conduct requirements but refuses to say whether such acts are allowed or not. But then again, Baylor could easily say that it did so in an attempt to make Baylor seem less hostile and more welcoming to homosexual students. Its spokeswoman said pretty much exactly that: The changes "were made because we didn't believe the language reflected Baylor's caring community." Gotcha. Or maybe not. Would Noble be happier if Baylor had retained its policy against homosexual acts and applied it consistently? Permit me to express some doubt about that. Noble's second piece of advice is to the dispensers of aid: He thinks they should go on giving it to Christian schools, at least to those that follow his other advice. His third point returns to the schools:
Third, religious schools should help students who enroll and later decide they can no longer attend in good conscience. These students should be able to transfer to another school with the administrative, emotional, and practical support of the religious school. In addition, religious schools must be vigilant about dealing with bullying and abuse and create an environment in which students who have suffered feel safe to report these incidents without fear of expulsion or retribution. Many religious schools are working toward these kinds of practices; the challenge for all of them is to go beyond policies and rhetoric to ensure the safety of all students.Earlier in the article he states the same point like this:
By...easing the transfer process for students who cannot abide by the codes of conduct, and taking a strict stance on bullying and abuse, religious schools can retain their distinctive mission while protecting students.Words like "bullying" and "abuse" and "taking a strict stance" sound nice in generic terms, but anyone who has been around the block with this issue even one time knows full-well that what is meant by the left by taking a strict stance on bullying and abuse is banning any statements that are going to hurt the feelings of homosexuals, even active homosexuals, and those who are gender-confused. We are way, way, way past forbidding contentless, vicious, anti-homosexual slurs. At this point it's considered "bullying" and "hateful" to affirm that homosexual acts are contrary to nature, to read Romans 1 out loud, much less to preach clearly on the homosexual reference in that chapter, to state that Bruce Jenner is a man but is a badly messed-up and partially mutilated man, and so forth. As for questioning whether people with same-sex attraction disorders ought to be housed with those to whom they are sexually attracted, I find it difficult to imagine that that wouldn't count as "bullying" or "abuse." Can you imagine what would happen to a student at a school, even a Christian school, with a strong "anti-bullying" code who posted on social media that he would not want to have a homosexual roommate in the dorm because of privacy issues? Boom! Either Noble knows these code meanings of "bullying and abuse" and is pretending otherwise or else he is so immersed himself in left-speak that he really believes that it is only reasonable and kind for a Christian college to make its campus gay-friendly and to come down hard on anybody who uses phrases like "unnatural acts." But now let's turn to all this talk of "easing the transfer process" and "helping" students to transfer with "administrative, emotional, and practical support." I admit frankly that I don't know for sure what cash value that is supposed to have. Transfer credits are transfer credits. It's not as though a student who is asked to leave because he insists on violating the school's sexual conduct policy is going to have his transfer credits poisoned so he can't use them at another school that will take them! What could Noble be talking about? Well, he clearly thinks it is extreme to kick students out for homosexual acts, as seen in this sentence:
While Christian universities may not go so far as to kick students out, many prohibit same-sex relationships or sexual activity, which some LGBT students believe are intrinsically tied to their identity.He's also clearly talking about students who insist upon engaging in homosexual acts. One can see that from the above sentence and also from this:
The school may believe it is enforcing the agreed-upon values of the community. But from the student's perspective, this may seem confusing or hypocritical: They are being told by some schools that they can "be" gay, so long as they don't "act" gay.Then, too, there is his phrase "students who cannot abide by the codes of conduct," making it clear that he is talking about students whose conduct (not just their private feelings or "orientation") violates the school's rules. I note, not merely in passing, the use of the word "cannot." Really? A student literally cannot refrain from homosexual acts? Talk about determinism. So Noble has some idea of a school's "easing" the transfer process and offering "support" in transferring to students who flout the school's sexual conduct rules. What kind of "easing" does he have in mind? He doesn't say. Here are a few possibilities, by no means mutually exclusive. --At a minimum, Noble seems to be talking about some generic implication given by the school that they really like the homosexual students who are flouting their rules, that they sympathize with them, that they aren't angry at them or punishing them, and that they are merely helping them to move to a school that is a "better fit" for them. So, non-judgemental rhetoric. Indeed, it is hardly extreme to think that Noble wants the schools to adopt his own talk of students who are somehow impelled to have homosexual sex, who "cannot," poor things, abide by the school's code of conduct. --Since he clearly thinks kicking students out is extreme, he may be suggesting that the students should never be expelled, even if they are openly living the homosexual lifestyle. At the most, it might be suggested to them that they leave of their own free will because they are, you know, not really abiding by the school's standards. --If not quite that, perhaps Noble is suggesting that students be allowed to lengthen the time that they remain enrolled in a Christian college while flouting its rules. If you're going to ask a student to leave, give him the option to complete the semester or even the school year, even if meanwhile he's engaging in sexual relations with a member or members of the same sexreally are ceremonial or customary rules. How much the more ridiculous is it to imply that a student should be able to flout rules about homosexual sex acts, tell the world that he's doing so, and be treated with the utmost sympathy and deference during a leisurely transition out of a school at which he is thumbing his nose while availing himself of their educational services? It's possible that Noble will say that that isn't what he meant, but what in the world did he mean? Would anyone ever use the kind of language he uses about students who break the rules I listed above? The answer is an obvious no. And if someone did, it should go without saying that he would be suggesting not actually enforcing the rules, at least for a while, in order to "ease the student's transfer." Noble is free to make up something, either vaguer or other, than the interpretation I've suggested here. But I maintain that the article would be ludicrous as applied to any rule-breaking that hasn't yet achieved the status of a cultural mascot. Christian college administrators would be fools to try to figure out some way to enact Noble's injunction to "be more empathetic." They are already doing far too much of that kind of thing--student support groups for "LGBT" students, insistence that they don't discriminate on the basis of mere orientation (despite the fact that that undermines the privacy of other students in residence halls), constant harping on the idea that we Christians need to be more accepting of homosexuals. This would just be one more confusing step. But as long as requirements to abstain from homosexual acts even remain on the books at some school, even if they become an increasingly dead letter, the left won't be satisfied anyway. Christian school administrators, don't listen to the people telling you that there is a way to "resolve the conflict" between what you stand for and the "LGBT" agenda. There isn't. Be clear about what you stand for, by all means. And be proud of being clear. And then kick out at least the unrepentant sinners and the fifth columnists who are blatantly trying to change the nature of your school. Don't ease their transition. Do it right away. And do it because you know exactly what is really going on.]]>
When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored to the shore. (Mark 6:53)So when they had crossed over to the other side, they landed at Gennesaret. Look at the map. Where is Gennesaret? (And by the way, the location of Gennesaret is independently known. It doesn't depend on some specific interpretation of this passage.) It's on the northwest side of the Sea of Galilee! It's also within a stone's throw of Capernaum. In other words, it's not on the same side as Bethsaida. It's approximately where we would expect the disciples to end up if they went away in the boat from the vicinity of Bethsaida, where Luke says the feeding took place, going (in general terms) toward Capernaum, as John says, across the top of the Sea of Galilee, and landed on the other side--going from the northeast to the northwest shore. If we were to interpret "pros Bethsaidan" in Mark 6:45 to mean that the feeding took place on the same side of the Sea of Galilee as Capernaum and Genessaret and that they crossed over afterwards in a boat to Bethsaida, we would have an apparent conflict within Mark with verse 6:53, which says that when they crossed over they landed at Gennesaret. So Mark doesn't "place" the feeding of the five thousand on the west side of the Sea of Galilee after all. This means that we have reason within Mark itself for reading "pros Bethsaidan" in one of the ways suggested above. This does not solely arise from a desire to harmonize Mark and Luke or Mark and John. Independent evidence from multiple gospels, including Mark, consistently points to approximately the same location for the feeding of the five thousand, with the single phrase "pros Bethsaidan" in Mark being the only outlier. Hence, it is entirely rational to translate or interpret that one phrase in a way that is consistent with multiple, independent lines of other evidence. By doing so, we get a unified picture that makes sense of all of the evidence. So far from being strained, this procedure is a careful, tough-minded way of making use of evidence and seeing if there is a reasonable picture that can explain all of it. This doesn't always work. Sometimes there may be an intransigent bit of evidence that just doesn't fit in with the rest, and there's nothing wrong with admitting as much when it happens. But it's unfortunate that sometimes we get a picture of apparent biblical discrepancies that leaves out some evidence and hence that gives a skewed view. Even relatively conservative interpreters may sometimes feel mired in a slough of despond, slogging through discrepancies and trying to pull themselves out. Or, to change the metaphor, may feel bothered to death by claimed discrepancies like an attacking cloud of midges. It could be tempting to think that one is breaking free of that feeling by not attempting harmonization at all, by coming to disdain it. But that is not a correct evidential approach, even when we simply think of the gospels as historical documents. It is entirely common for different witness testimonies to have apparent discrepancies. Sometimes these are real, but surprisingly often they are merely apparent, and the real picture of what occurred fits both accounts when more is known. In the present case, any casting of the issue as, "There seem to be a lot of discrepancies surrounding the geography of the feeding of the five thousand" or "Mark appears to place the feeding of the five thousand in a different location from Luke" is, frankly, incorrect. Hence it contributes unnecessarily to that feeling of being mired in or pestered by nuisance discrepancies. But in fact, there aren't a lot of apparent discrepancies surrounding the geography of the feeding of the five thousand. There is a unified picture of it as occurring on the northeast of the Sea of Galilee with one outlying phrase in one gospel. Mark and Luke do not appear to place the event in two different locations. Nor do Mark and John. Rather, Mark itself has a geographical indicator that places the feeding on the east side (namely, that afterwards they went over to the other side and landed at Genessaret) and another geographical indicator (the outlying phrase "pros Bethsaidan") that could be interpreted to place it on the west side. So Mark's own gospel contains evidence that is consonant with the united evidence of Luke, John, and with undesigned coincidences between and among them (one involving Matthew as well), placing the feeding on the northeast side. It is a little ironic that I am saying all of this, since I am open in principle to saying that there may in fact be places where a gospel author got some minor detail wrong. I even have candidates for such places in my own mind. In no way does my livelihood depend upon signing a statement subscribing to inerrancy. But I also think that the gospels are very, very reliable, that real witness testimony turns out to be reconcilable often when at first it appears to be irreconcilable, and that harmonization should be given a good shot before one concludes that there is an actual error. That, I believe, is not piety but merely responsible scholarship. The exciting thing is how often, when one gets a bigger picture, one finds oneself freed from that heavy sense of "so many problems," because one sees alleged discrepancies against a wider background of evidence for reliability. Sometimes, as in the present case, that wider background even helps to explain some particular alleged discrepancy. This is, to my mind, a much healthier approach than either a) becoming highly cavalier about saying that some gospel author was wrong or confused, b) becoming highly negative about harmonization, and/or c) turning to highly dubious claims of "literary device" according to which gospel authors deliberately changed details for the sake of some literary or theological effect. None of that does justice to the real-life texture of the texts as historical memoirs. Cross-posted]]>
The lessons here are clear. Never surrender. Always seek to persuade. Prepare to protest. Exercise your constitutional rights and apply political pressure to the same extent that leftist activists do. When the California bill was first proposed, I spoke to social conservatives who simply presumed total defeat. Christians always lose in blue states, they said. The political battle was pointless, and only the courts could save us now. Yet I've seen Christians prevail even on the most progressive campuses through a combination of persistent persuasion and vigorous activism. This same combination prevailed in California today. It's not a total victory, but the difference between the bill as amended and as proposed is so vast that university leaders are breathing a sigh of relief.Though I can't re-find the link right now, I was especially interested to notice that one story about the opposition to SB1146 stated that lawmakers were concerned about legal costs to the state from lawsuits filed on behalf of the colleges that lost state aid. If you ever wonder whether lawfare works, remember this incident and thank groups like the Alliance Defending Freedom for existing. ]]>
Getting to my feet, I turned to their senior, the pakhan, the ringleader of the thieves. All the stolen victuals were there in front of him beside the window on the second tier of bunks: the juvenile rats hadn't eaten a thing themselves. They were disciplined. Nature had sculpted the front part of the ringleader's head, in bipeds usually called a face, with nausea and hate. Or perhaps it had come to be what it was from living the life of a beast of prey. It sagged crookedly and loosely, with a low forehead, a savage scar, and modern steel crowns on the front teeth. His little eyes were exactly large enough to see all familiar objects and yet not take delight in the beauties of the world. He looked at me as a boar looks at a deer, knowing he could always knock me off my feet.And there is also the commerce in human flesh.
During the years when the prisoners' cases didn't carry any indication of their final destination, the transit prisons turned into slave markets. The most desired guests at the transit prisons were the buyers. This word was heard more and more often in the corridors and cells and was used without any shadow of irony. Just as it became intolerable everywhere in industry simply to sit and wait until things were sent from the center on the basis of allocations, and it was more satisfactory to send one's own "pushers" and "pullers" to get things done — the same thing happened in Gulag: the natives on the islands kept dying off; and even though they cost not one ruble, a count was kept of them, and one had to worry about getting more of them for oneself so there wouldn't be any failure in fulfilling the plan. The buyers had to be sharp, have good eyes, and look carefully to see what they were taking so that last-leggers and invalids didn't get shoved off on them. The buyers who picked a transport on the basis of case files were poor buyers. The conscientious merchants demanded that the merchandise be displayed alive and bare-skinned for them to inspect. And that was just what they used to say without smiling — merchandise. "Well, what merchandise have you brought?" asked a buyer at the Butyrki station, observing and inspecting the female attributes of seventeen-year-old Ira Kalina. Human nature, if it changes at all, changes not much faster than the geological face of the earth. And the very same sensations of curiosity, relish, and sizing up which slave-traders felt at the slave-girl markets twenty-five centuries ago of course possessed the Gulag bigwigs in the Usman Prison in 1947, when they, a couple of dozen men in MVD uniform, sat at several desks covered with sheets (this was for their self-importance, since it would have seemed awkward otherwise), and all the women prisoners were made to undress in the box next door and to walk in front of them bare-footed and bare-skinned, turn around, stop, and answer questions. "Drop your hands," they ordered those who had adopted the defensive pose of classic sculpture. (After all, these officers were very seriously selecting bedmates for themselves and their colleagues.)Solzhenitsyn calls his three-volume work, "An Experiment in Literary Investigation," which strikes a note of modesty somewhat at odds with the compendious nature of these books. But throughout the text he is at pains to underscore its emphatic want of comprehensiveness. He dedicates the work to "those who did not live to tell it," asking forgiveness for "not having seen it all, nor remembered it all." In the long section documenting the Revitribunals, the purges and mass trials — three solid chapters' worth, covering a hundred and thirty odd pages — he repeatedly emphasizes the fragmentary nature of the official record, and its concentration in Moscow.
We beg the reader, throughout, to keep in mind: from 1918 on, our judicial custom determined that every Moscow trial . . . was by no means an isolated trial of an accidental. concatenation of circumstances which had converged by accident; it was a landmark of judicial policy; it was a display-window model whose specifications determined what product was good for the provinces too; it was a standard; it was like that one-and-only model solution up front in the arithmetic book for the schoolchildren to follow for themselves. Thus, when we say, "the trial of the churchmen," this must be understood in the multiple plural ... "many trials."The Historical Society of Cavendish, Vermont, where the Solzhenitsyns lived for almost two decades in exile, has published a book and website to commemorate that small mountain town's once-upon-a-time most famous reclusive resident. (The story goes that a Cavendish general store posted a sign: "To shirt, no shoes, no service, and no directions to the Solzhenitsyns.") HBO has commissioned a biopic on the man, his life and times, written by a veteran of the brilliant Second World War productions Band of Brothers and The Pacific. These are encouraging developments. No man contributed more doggedly to the exposure of the evils of the Soviet system than Solzhenitsyn. ]]>

Corey Menafee, a dishwasher in Calhoun College's dining hall—named after John C. Calhoun, the bigoted 19th century-statesman and Yale alumnus—was simply sick of seeing the "racist, very degrading" image every day, he told the New Haven Independent. So, on June 13, he took matters into his own hands and smashed the glass with a broomstick. He has since apologized to the university and resigned from his job. But several student activists have praised Menafee, arguing that if anyone should apologize it's the university. "Yale should pay his legal fees to compensate for the emotional distress their images evoke," Austin Strayhorn, an upcoming sophomore at Yale, told The Daily Beast. "Imagine being reminded of your oppression day after day. He did what many of us have wanted to do but never had the courage to do." Brea Baker, a recent graduate ('16) and former president of the university's NAACP chapter, echoed Strayhorn's sentiments in an email to The Daily Beast. "First and foremost, Yale must apologize to Corey Menafee and black workers who come in daily and are subject to such a hostile work environment," she wrote. "What he did was a form of decolonizing Yale and his bravery must be commended." Menafee's destructive act of defiance came two months after the university announced its decision to retain the name of Calhoun College, defying some 1,500 current and former students. "Removing Calhoun's name obscures the legacy of slavery rather than addressing it," Yale President Peter Salovey said in a statement at the time. Student activists like Strayton and Baker were enraged. "Students of color and our allies have been bleeding in front of Yale for YEARS," Baker wrote in her email. "This year specifically we have very clearly expressed the very real psychological impacts of being forced to grapple with such symbols and images in such public spaces as dining halls and residential spaces." Responding to fervent student protests, the university in January removed three portraits of Calhoun from residential spaces, including one that hung in the dining hall. In April, President Salovey announced an initiative to review the university's history with regard to slavery, tasking the newly formed Committee on Art in Public Spaces to assess a series of contentious stained-glass panels and other art on campus, including the panel depicting slaves carrying cotton that Menafee later smashed. Salovey also said the university was abolishing the "Master" title for residential faculty supervisors. The Committee recommended in June that several stained-glass panels be removed and "conserved for future study and a possible contextual exhibition, and replaced with tinted glass for the time being," the university said in a statement provided to The Daily Beast. "An artist specializing in stained glass will be commissioned to design new windows, with input from the Yale community, including students, on what should replace them." The Committee only arrived at this decision after Menafee took a broomstick to the image, expediting the process. Another "suite of panels depicting aspects of John Calhoun's life" is slated to be removed, the university said in a statement. Regarding Menafee: "The university worked with his union to resolve this as compassionately as possible," the statement reads. Yale has requested that the State's Attorney not press charges against Menafee, and the university is not seeking legal restitution. In 1992, students successfully petitioned for the removal of a stained-glass panel featuring a shackled slave at Calhoun's feet. The panel that Menafee shattered is believed to have been the only remaining visible reference to slavery at Calhoun College. In an email to the community last week, Head of Calhoun College Julia Adams formally announced that the dining hall would be renamed in honor of Roosevelt Thompson, an alumnus who graduated from Yale in 1984. She also confirmed that other stained-glass panels referencing Calhoun's legacy would be replaced. Strayhorn told The Daily Beast he was pleased that Menafee is not being charged by the university, and that the steps the university has taken in deference to minority students are "good but not permanent solutions." When asked if the university's response to student demands' and the shattered panel incident were satisfactory, Baker was less forgiving. "These are not panels depicting images of Calhoun's life so much as they are panels depicting the exploitation and genocide of an entire group of people—a group of people I might add whose descendants are now educated here," she wrote in an email. "Calhoun's life was devoted to maintaining difference, inferiority/superiority binaries, and the breaking of black bodies. Any images depicting these facets of his life in an informal setting are promoting that." ]]>

"This Vero Beach house was the perfect fit for my husband and me to host my sister, our 4 teenage nephews and 1 teenage niece for a cousin get together. The layout of the house allowed us plenty of 'together' space, as well as privacy. The kids loved being able to walk to the beach (as did the adults....we didn't have to deal with the logistics of 'hauling' everybody in cars). The location is very central to all that Vero Beach has to offer. The house was clean and well stocked, with plenty of towels, linens, kitchen items, etc. The owner was very easy to work with, and very responsive."Guest: Cindy C Date of Stay: July 2016 Review Submitted: July 28, 2016View listing
"What a way to celebrate the holidays! The owners/our friends didn't miss a beat with their condo home. This well furnished and tastefully decorated condo exceeded our expectations- from the well-stocked and organized kitchen to the perfect thread count sheets. To my delight, the master bath had the perfect sized whirlpool tub. Our days were spent at the pool and at the beach- and were blessed with unseasonably warm Christmas- and a full moon. In the evenings we enjoyed playing games, reading, and watching a movie in the comfortable living/family room. The screened-in lanai is another treat to enjoy. Thanks again to our friends for sharing their bit of heaven at Sea Oaks in Vero Beach!"Guest: Jennette F. Date of Stay: December 2015 Review Submitted: January 11, 2016View listing

"Our family started a tradition of getting together every Memorial Day weekend several years ago when we were living all over the state of Florida. We spent three nights of quality family time this year at this unique Summerplace, Vero Beach property. Our desire is to be "at home" away from our own homes. The large common area served our purposes very well. The kitchen is remarkable, although much of it went unused for our stay. The bedrooms are large and comfortable. The showers are interesting, although somewhat disappointing due to low water pressure during our stay. The walk to the private beach takes 4 minutes and requires crossing Highway A1A. We had a great time and hope that the property will be maintained well into the future."Guest: Kelly W. Date of Stay: May 2016 Review Submitted: May 31, 2016View listing

In political theory, the "Iron Law of Oligarchy" holds that in any organization or society, an elite will naturally emerge independently of democratic election. The theory holds that as businesses grow, so dow power, and as power grows, so does corruptionContinue Reading
The elite is referred to as an "organized minority," whereas the other members from whom the elite inevitably wrest control are referred to as the "unorganized majority."
The theory was introduced by the German sociologist, Robert Michels, in 1915, who was later to become a key supporter of Mussolini's fascist regime in Italy. Michels based his theory on the European political parties of his time, noting that the increase of an organization's complexity over time requires a specialized elite (or bureaucracy) and also curtails ordinary member participation in decision-making.Learn more about Types of Government
According to the University of Texas at Arlington, U.S. citizens study government to become informed voters, to understand their Constitutional rights, to know their responsibilities under the law and to think about how processes can be improved to benefit society. Students typically start learning about the government in elementary school.Full Answer >
The elite and class theory promotes the idea that a rich elite holds most of the power in U.S. politics, and therefore determines policies and living conditions for the rest of society. This theory acknowledges that people have the right to vote, but states that the rich elite are able to form conditions that shape policies despite this.Full Answer >
Some countries that have oligarchy governments include China, North Korea and Venezuela. The former Soviet Union was also considered to be an oligarchy. An oligarchy is a kind of government in which either a few people or a dominant group has all the power.Full Answer >
In general terms, sociolinguistic theory examines all of the ways in which society, by its organization, norms and institutions, exerts power over language and its use. Sociolinguistic theory should thus be differentiated from the sociology of language, which examines the opposite train of influence, that of language over society.Full Answer >

Sine to Square Wave Circuits
Conversion of triangle wave shapes to sinusoids is usually accomplished by diode-resistor shaping networks, which accurately reconstruct the sine wave segment by segment. Two simpler and less costly methods may be used to shape the triangle waveform of the 566 into a sinusoid with less than 2% distortion. The non-linear IDSVDS transfer...Two pairs of MOSFETs form a bridge that alternately switches current in opposite directions. Two parallel-resonant LC circuits complete the converter. The Ll/C1 combination is resonant at the fundamental frequency; the L2/C2 combination is resonant at the clock frequency"s third harmonic and acts as a trap. Tl and C3 ensure that both halves...This fixed frequency triangular waveform generator driven by a TTL square wave generates typically 16-V p-p triangles at frequencies up to several MHz. It uses only one AND open collector gate, or one open collector inverter as a fast integrator with gain. Careful successive adjustments of R and PI are needed. When correct adjustments are...This schematic example (see sine2square. png ) demonstrates a sinusoidal voltage input at a frequency of 10KHz converted to a square wave through an inverter-based circuit. VDD and VSS rails are ties to +1V and =1V, respectively. The control file ( sine2square. ctr ) contains model statements for the diodes and the MOS devices used by the...This circuit is intended to provide good square waves converting a sine wave picked-up from an existing generator. Its major feature consists in the fact that no power-source is needed: thus it can be simply connected between a sine wave generator and the device under test. The input sine wave feeds a voltage doubler formed by C1, C2, D1 & D2 thatThis circuit tums a sine wave into a square wave. It is comprised of a single 2-input NAND Schmitt trigger that`s conftgured as an inverter with a trigger level adjustment at its input. As the input voltage rises above the gate`s trigger point, the output snaps to its alternate state, producing a square-wave output.The circuit can be used as the signal source of calibration level meter or sensor-driven differential transformer. Circuit oscillation frequency is determined by the 74HCO4, and it is transferred lkHz by R. The supply voltage of Tl changes with the amplitude output. The switch turns the output voltage into square wave, then it will get sine wave bFigure 1 shows the typical output from a spectroscopic amplifier, where the presence of a large amount of detector noise with Gaussian distribution is a limiting factor for system performance in amplitude and timing resolution. The time-tagging of such pulses is subject to two well-known types of errors: the jitter related to the noise and the...This wave shaper needs an input saw that goes from Vss to (ideally) Vdd. It works well with the 4069 VCO designed by Ren? Schmitz. Any saw will work as long as the wave is centered halfway between the rails. It works as follows: The upper set of 2 linear mode gates provide an inverted and noninverted copy of the saw. The 3 logic gates at the...This Circuit is a zero crossing detector, which produces an output state change whenever the input crosses the reference input. In this case the reference input is connected to ground. The output of the comparator can easily drive multiple outputs, which can include, for example, a relay, acontrol gate and a LED indicator.Generating a true sinewave from an input square wave over an octave in frequency is not simple. A sinewave oscillator would be easy. Filtering to the fundimental would be easy for a frequency range less than an octive. The best I was able to come up with is the attached circuit which approximately generates the sine of the input...

Having said that, the mexoryl-based sunscreens are more effective than the Neutrogena, so are probably worth the extra cost. Bear in mind that UV-A causes cancer, but not sunburn. A sunscreen that protects against sunburn, is not an effective anti-cancer agent unless it also protects against UV-A. Most sunscreens that claim UV-A protection only provided it for half an hour or so. Mexoryl, on the other hand, lasts several hours.
The FDA did not approve Mexoryl as a sunscreen; Talk to anyone in cosmetic industry regulation and it's well-known that the USA is 10 years behind Europe and Asia on approving sunscreens. The list of US-approved sunscreen ingredients is very short, whereas in Europe and Asia the list is longer--- and these newer ingredients are much lighter, thinner, and more absorbent -- Another reason why EU/Asia sunscreens feel like invisible silk---and US ones tend to feel greasy/heavy.
The US version does NOT contain Mexoryl, instead it contains Avobenzone --also highly stable for many hours under the sun -- but this formula also contains Oxybenzone, a controversial ingredient (look it up). I'm not against chemical sunscreens, but I personally avoid Oxybenzone as much as I can. However, one great benefit is the milky-light texture, absorbent finish that feels weightless on skin. This is one reason why it's so popular.
If you don't care about chemical UV filters and just want an absorbent formula that works great on the face, this is a good option. But know that the Euro version is far superior, and if travelling outside the US, stock up --it's very affordable.
Also, this product smells very highly of toxic chemicals. And while I expect a certain chemical smell, this made me wonder what the heck I was putting on my skin. I really wanted to like this product, but I cannot even wear it. I will have to throw it away.
What a delight to find that they have found a US importer! The US formula is slightly different, and I think a bit better, as it leave my skin more matte. However, now that it is winter, I find the formula dries me out a bit, so I will either import the slightly greasier EU formula or try one of the other Anthelios products available here.
One complaint -- no mexoryl in this one (their press releases are very specific about this.) I can't find out anything about what "cell-ox" actually is. But I do trust that there's some UVA protection.

Skimpy JRPG Record of Agarest War will be making its way to the PC, it seems. The sexualized title from publisher Aksys Games first appeared in North America via the Xbox 360 back in 2010.
The port of the Compile Heart-developed title is being handled by European publisher Ghostlight. Record of Agarest War is currently on Steam Greenlight, so if you want some tactical RPG action with plenty of crazy cleavage, feel free to give it your vote.
Record of Agarest War 2 recently launched on the PlayStation 3, so the fact that we're getting a PC version of an older game in the series is certainly a bit odd. Whatevs.

Home > News > Ethanol production inside carbon nanotubes
June 8th, 2007
Ethanol production inside carbon nanotubes
Ethanol is all the rage these days. Although we have been drinking ethanol, an alcohol, for thousands of years (fermented beverages such as beer and wine may contain up to 15-25% ethanol by volume), the recent interest has been sparked by its use as a renewable fuel alternative to gasoline. Indeed, the largest single use of ethanol is as a motor fuel and fuel additive. Ethanol is produced by fermentation when certain species of yeast metabolize sugar. The process works with all biological feedstocks that contain appreciable amounts of sugar or materials that can be converted into sugar such as starch or cellulose. The primary feedstock for ethanol production in the U.S. is corn. In Brazil, the world's leading ethanol producer, it's mostly derived from sugar cane. While there is a heated controversy over the economic and ecological benefits of using biomass for producing ethanol fuel, it seems that nanotechnology's jack-of-all-trades, the carbon nanotube (CNT), might provide a solution here as well. CNTs are increasingly recognized as promising materials for catalysis, either as catalysts themselves, as catalyst additives or as catalyst supports. Researchers in China now have used CNTs loaded with rhodium (Rh) nanoparticles as reactors to convert a gas mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen into ethanol. This appears to be the first example where the activity and selectivity of a metal-catalyzed gas-phase reaction benefits significantly from proceeding inside a nanosized CNT reaction vessel.

Patient Education & Resources
A cataract is when the lens develops an opacification. The opacity may be small enough and not very dense, so that the transmission of light is minimally affected. It may also be large and very opaque, so much so, that light cannot enter the interior of the eye.
Dry Eye
Dry Eye occurs when an individual does not produce enough tears or the right quality of tears to keep the eye tissue healthy and comfortable.
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness around the world. It causes damage to the optic nerve in the eye. It is usually, but not always, associated with an elevated pressure inside the eye. While there is no cure for glaucoma, the condition can be managed, usally with one or more eye drops. Keeping the condition from progressing does not cure it but preserves remaining vision.
Macular Degeneration (AMD/ARMD)
Macular degeneration affects a spot on the retina responsible for central vision, called the macula. As the condition progresses, it usually results in more difficulties with central vision. In the early stage symptoms may not be noticed, but once there is progression, and both eyes are affected, it may interfere with daily activities.
