Today was an experiment that seemed to mostly work. I often teach "Intro to Social Media" workshops in Church settings. Today, with the Louisiana Interchurch Council Board, I experimented with teaching people how to tweet using a paper template. I figured that folks from a paper generation would be more comfortable drafting their #FirstTweet by hand and then could begin to imagine actually tweeting. It mostly worked. People got the hang of #hashtags and @handles. If you want to try it in your own setting, here's a template of 140 character Practice Tweet. If you use it, let me know how it goes!

A Prayer for Boston City Council
I was asked by my City Councilor Matt O'Malley (a politician proficient at using social media to connect with the people he serves- and a great example for religious leaders to follow!) as a constituent to offer a prayer of invocation before the Boston City Council began their work on Wednesday October 9,2013. I asked my Facebook feed what they would pray for in this setting; many of those responses were incorporated into the prayer I wrote. I share this as an example of one way for Christians to pray in public in multi-faith settings.
Between the federal government shutdown, a mayoral election, busses and budgets and a blessing over Fenway, I think we've got plenty to pray for today!
My name is Rev. Laura Everett, I have the great privilege of serving at the Executive Director of the Massachusetts Council of Churches, a statewide network of individuals, congregations and Christian denominations convinced that what binds us together at the Church is stronger than anything that divides us. In the days following the Boston Marathon bombing, we worked to coordinate the inter-religious response. Last Sunday, I guest preached in South Walpole Methodist Church, the Sunday before that at Grace Episcopal Church in Great Barrington, and the Sunday before that at first Congregational West Tisbury, but I am a proud resident of Ward 11, Precinct 8 in the city of Boston. I want you to know that in every church I visit, everywhere I go, the people pray for those in elected office and positions of power. Know that you are held in these prayers.
My father's side of the family has deep history in Boston, though I grew up in New Jersey. And like many Bostonians, I came here for school and never left. On a very personal note, nothing did more to make me an engaged citizen in love with this city than beginning to move through it by bike. Before, I could keep to myself and my head in my newspaper or phone on the T. By bike, I see the new playground getting built day by day at Jackson Square. By bike, I cannot avert my eyes from the men who live in all weather tucked behind the transformers along the Southwest Corridor. By bike, I ride past the Boston Police Department and pray for the safety of our city. And the women blocking the bike lane, pushing their grocery carts full of scavenged recycled cans in the opposite direction of traffic, give me a chance to practice compassion. I ride with the transplants, and the students and the new immigrants who ride because they cannot afford a car. By bike, I actually see this city and the people in it, rather than rushing past. Thank you for the many ways you make this possible for more Bostonians.
Each Sunday, many Protestants and Roman Catholic Christians will read and preach on the same scripture texts. This Sunday, we'll hear of Jesus healing the 10 lepers and the only one who comes back to thank him is the migrant, the marginalized Samaritan. Another reading is from the prophet Jeremiah, chapter 29. Jeremiah is speaking to a weary people in exile, far from the city of their origin, Jerusalem. Through the prophet Jeremiah, God tells the people "Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat what they produce. 6 Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease. 7 But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare."
Seek the welfare of the city. Pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare. From the very earliest times, our prophets know- our individual welfare is inextricably linked to the welfare of us all. As you are led, will you join with me in prayer?
Holy God,
We pause before the work of this day to confess, to give thanks, to share our burdens, and to pray for our city and these city councilors.
We confess the ways we have become weary and worn by a political process more often marked by venom than by grace. We confess our participation our national idolatry of guns and the stranglehold of violence in our mind, in our hearts, in our streets and in our homes. We confess the ways we too grow resigned to the way things are and systems that refuse to change.
Holy One, save us from weak resignation. Remind us of our power to seek the welfare of this city.
We acknowledge the many burdens we carry into this work. Attend to them, O God. We give thanks for the communities that support us, the spouses, friends, neighbors and loved ones who sacrifices so that we may be here this day. Bless them.
We pray for all elected officials entrusted with the holy calling of public service. Keep them pure in heart. We pray for those running for elected office. We pray for Barack our president, Deval our governor, and Tom our mayor. We pray especially for Congress, that you might intervene in hearts that have grown hardened.
We pray for the residents of this city and the constituents we serve.
For all those seeking full, meaningful employment, we pray for work.
For all those seeking education, we pray for powerful teachers
For all those seeking peace, train us to work for justice.
We grieve with all those who grieve in this city, remembering those who have been killed this year in Boston: Anthony Spaulding, Jonathan Reyes, Carly Jones, Rayshawn Lamont, Corey Thompson, Courtney W. Jackson, Thaddeus Clark, Edward Villalona, Martin Richard, Krystle Campbell, Lingzi Lu, Joel D. Phillips, Clifton Townsend, Malcolm Campbell, Maiqui Hernandez, Misbam Wiggins, Tremayne Jackson, Steven Jones, Lloyd Powell, Brianna Bigby, Jordan Miller, Jajuan Griffin, Erick Pierre-Louis, Felix Garcia, Brian Tirado, Ana Cruz, Melissa Hardy and two men whose names are known to you alone.
Holy One, bless the work that is before this city council today. May ever decision we make, every phone call we pick up, every email we respond to this day be done with generosity of spirit. Turn us again, reorient our hearts. Remind us of the truth of Jeremiah that in the welfare of the city, we will find our own welfare. In all we do, in all we say, may we seek the welfare of this city.
We know you by many names, I pray in the powerful name of Jesus the Christ. Amen.
7 Words: Facebook Pages and Defining your 'Voice'
Old South Church in Boston's Facebook page includes the usual updates on their shared life. But a creative, participatory project caught my eye. Borrowing from The Christian Century article "The Gospel in Seven Words," their Facebook page offered their own seven word summations of the Gospel from clergy and members alike over multiple days. From the Minister of Music:
Today's SEVEN WORDS:
You'll never walk alone in Christ Jesus. (Harry Huff)
We who run institutional Facebook pages assume the task of defining our "voice" in social media. Institutional pages can sometimes feel, well, institutional. The 7 Words experiment nicely amplified multiple voices around the same theme. Through this social media practice they demonstrated this institution is comprised of the people (and not just the pastor or Facebook page administrator)! What communal practice would work in your setting: Favorite hymns? Re-posting pictures of the holy taken by parishioners?
Election Day Communion: Social Media & Christian Unity
A nationwide witness to Christian unity during a season of political division began not by councils of churches or denominations, but 2 Mennonite pastors and a lay Episcopalian in a swing state. Election Day Communion puts forth a compelling vision: on the day when our country feels the most divided, invite Christians to come to Christ's common table. Inclusion in the body of Christ comes not at the ballot box but at the waters of baptism.
Social media tools enable the good idea to spread via Facebook, Twitter and a website on the inexpensive platform WordPress. But none of the tools matter without a compelling vision. Learn your digital ministry tools. Today, 728 congregations across the country are participating. But for something to "go viral," you need a compelling vision or a cute cat photo. And frankly, the internet already has enough cats.
They Will Know We are Christians By Our Snark?
They will know we are Christians by our Snark?
Sunday September 16, 2012 St. James Episcopal Church, Greenfield MA
James 3:1-12 Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers and sisters, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. 2For all of us make many mistakes. Anyone who makes no mistakes in speaking is perfect, able to keep the whole body in check with a bridle. 3If we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we guide their whole bodies. 4Or look at ships: though they are so large that it takes strong winds to drive them, yet they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. 5So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great exploits. How great a forest is set ablaze by a small fire! 6And the tongue is a fire. The tongue is placed among our members as a world of iniquity; it stains the whole body, sets on fire the cycle of nature, and is itself set on fire by hell. 7For every species of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by the human species, 8but no one can tame the tongue—a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 9With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse those who are made in the likeness of God. 10From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this ought not to be so. 11Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and brackish water? 12Can a fig tree, my brothers and sisters, yield olives, or a grapevine figs? No more can salt water yield fresh.
Join me if you know this song:
We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord
We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord
And we pray that all unity may one day be restored
And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
They will know we are Christians by our love
The Summer of 1968 was tense in Chicago. Roman Catholic priest Peter R. Scholtes was a parish priest at St. Brendan's church on the South side. Fr. Peter was looking for a song that his youth group could sing at ecumenical, interracial and interfaith events, but didn't find anything he loved. So he wrote this hymn based on Jesus' words in John 13:35, "by this, everyone will know that you are my disciples, of you have love for one another."
Let us pray:
James is a strange text. It may have been written by Jesus's half brother James. Or not. The well-schooled Greek seems more than what a simple Galilean carpenter could compose. The letter is written the a classical Hellenic form- a "diatribe"- replies to "imaginary interlocutors," a little like Clint Eastwood at the Republican National Convention speaking to an empty chair.
James holds a strange place in our tradition. Martin Luther, with his total commitment to salvation through grace alone, called the letter to James an "Epistle of Straw." Luther read James's emphasis on good works and right living and thought he was teaching incorrectly that we could earn our way into God's good graces. Later in the 19th century long after Luther, another German commentator Johann Gottfried Herder replied that 'the nourishment of unthreshed grain could be found within the straw nonetheless.'
The Letter of James poses a real challenge to the ancient and contemporary Church. James seems to be addressing a Christian community divided. His two main concerns are how the community treats the rich and the poor and how the community disagrees. These are James's test for true faithful living: how do you treat the poor and how do you speak.
The lectionary text this week focuses us on James concern about how the Christian community speaks. James works three different metaphors about speech: a horse's bit, a ship's rudder and a small fire in a large forest.
Each time, James is pointing to something larger. We've got this small tongue, but it can cause a lot of trouble. Controlling your tongue is like putting a bit in a horse's mouth- this small piece of metal actually guides the entire movement of the horse. Or a boat's rudder- this small piece of wood actually guides the entire movement of the large ship. For James, our tongues, our speech guides the entire direction of our lives.
There's great potential, great power in our speech for James. Tongues can be dangerous things, like verse 5 "so also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great exploits." But for James, an uncontrolled tongue is like a small fire in a large forest. James sees potential to do unbelievable damage with our words.
This week was set ablaze with violence because of the words of a few unchecked tongues. The truth is still unfolding, but what we know now is that an anti-Islam film speaking falsehoods about the Prophet Mohammed sparked riots, destruction and even death. Initial media reports suggested that the filmmaker Sam Bacile was Jewish and Israeli. Later reports uncovered that the Sam Bacile might not even exist, and the person pretending to be a filmmaker named Sam Bacile is an Egyptian Coptic Christian. Add into the volatile mix the Florida pastor Terry Jones, best known for his Koran-burning stunts. These events, and the local impact of them, remind me again and again why we need the connections of the Massachusetts Council of Churches as we work to build healthy and favorable relationships with our neighbors from other religious traditions. It an age of near instantaneous communication, we saw this week how the foolish words and images from one person could ignite a tinderbox of potential violence half a world away.
James knows of the dangerous potential of words. He calls the tongue a "restless evil, full of deadly poison"(James 3:8). Why is our speech so dangerous? Because it is possible to speak both a blessing and a curse from the same lips. James sees how duplicitous we can be with our words. Our speech can be positive and it can be destructive. Our tongues are dangerous because, "with it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse those who are made in the likeness of God. " That same tongue, that very same tongue can speak a blessing and the next moment can curse our neighbor who is made in the likeness of God. For James, these are opposite actions- blessing the Lord and cursing those made in the image of God. You can't do both. You can't worship God and Mammon. You can't praise God out of one side of your mouth and curse your brother out of the other side. Reminds us of Jesus' words about how we are to come to worship God only after we've squared away any conflict we have with our neighbor. James says "from the same mouth comes blessing and cursing."
You know this. Any of you who returned to school earlier this month know how easy it is for the same person to speak kind words and then cruel names. You know this is part of our condition. You know how easy it is to speak a blessing and the next moment spew some curse. Like all of our lives, all of our body, made for praise and potential to inflict harm on others and damage our relationship with God. You know this, your tongue can get you into the worst kind of trouble. "it boasts of great exploits." We get taken to task for what we say (Pres Obama "you didn't build that") or what we don't say (Gov Romney not mentioning the troops). Our speech caries the potential to bless and to curse. And it's so close to home.
Raise your hands, how many of you were formed by a religious community other than the Episcopal Church? How many of you were formed by Roman Catholic Church? The reality of the Church today is that many of us have been formed by multiple religious communities, which is part of what makes our ecumenical and interreligious work so important. If you were form by Roman Catholicism, you may be familiar with the language around mortal and venial sins. Mortal sins are those big serious ones and venial sins are the smaller, daily slip-ups. The Roman Catholic theologian Charlie Curran said "the problem with putting the focus on "mortal" or serious sins, is that mortal sins are very hard to do. Mortal sin completely and totally separates us from God. Hard to do. Rather, venial sins, lesser sins are with us all the time. Curran wants us to focus on the lesser sins- he says its there, with the lesser sins that are with us all the time, that we find our path to spiritual growth.
In some ways, this is the opposite of that workplace adage about 'not sweating the small stuff'- Curran is saying the small stuff matters. Raise your hands, how many of you were formed by a religious community other than the Episcopal Church? How many of you were formed by Roman Catholic Church? The reality of the Church today is that many of us have been formed by multiple religious communities, which is part of what makes our ecumenical and interreligious work so important. If you were form by Roman Catholicism, you may be familiar with the language around mortal and venial sins. Mortal sins are those big serious ones and venial sins are the smaller, daily slip-ups.

Curran wants us to focus on the lesser sins- he says its there, with the lesser sins that are with us all the time, that we find our path to spiritual growth.
We commit so many sins with our lips, and increasingly with our fingers to our keyboards. Many ways we "speak" now- type, text, tweet. As a bicycle commuter, I've gotten the clear message from angry automobile drivers without hearing a word through their glass windows. James calls it evil, recognizes how potentially destructive it is, but he reminds us that with that same mouth we bless the Lord. With those same fingers we type kindness and compassion or snark and vile. I watch my Jewish colleagues sign off of social media on Friday nights to keep the Sabbath. They have a unique witness in social media. I've often wondered what our unique, particular Christian witness could be. What if they knew we were Christians by our love? By our kindness and compassion? By our words of grace instead of cruelty. Will they know we are Christians by our words?
James expects to see a changed life out of the Christian community he is writing to. First , he expects Christians to treat the poor with generosity and inclusion. Secondly, James expects the Christians to speak differently. James wants us to get in the habit, in the practice of being bridled. Aren't we like wild ponies! We resist constraint. We claim our freedom of speech as a right! Yes, we can say almost anything. But what should we say? There is a difference between what we can say and what we should say. James expects Christians to speak differently, type differently, act differently.
I have a friend in her mid thirties now who rarely wears shorts or skirts. Tall, lanky, impressive in stature. But when she was a small child, she was all knees and elbows. Do you remember those little wooden toys where when you push on the bottom, all the limbs of the giraffe go slack? My friend was a baby giraffe as a little girl. And a beloved uncle, kind and good, once said that her legs were like piano legs. His words fell into that tender place worn raw from cruel words of grade school kids, and they stuck. We do not know what battle someone else is fighting when we speak our words of blessing or a curse. James asks you to watch your tongue and keep your words holy. Will they know you are a Christian by your words? Amen.
Why doesn't Church ask us to Check In?
My favorite neighborhood restaurant is Vee Vee. They serve locally-sourced food in a cosy space. They deliver by bicycle. Inside, they've added a new sign:.
And so I did, posting a photo of my tasty meal. I visit a lot of churches, more churches than restaurants. I've yet to see a sign like this in a church.
"Checking in" with social media allows us to narrate where we spend our time, talent, and treasure. Every Sunday, we boldly invite our people to give generously to further our common ministry. Post a small sign like this or a note in the bulletin asking the same. As Vee Vee said, "Help spread the word to your friends." Invite our people to check in.
Status Update: Massachusetts Council of Churches
(These are my Director's Report notes from the Massachusetts Council of Churches Annual Meeting "Christian Unity in the Digital Age" on Saturday April 28, 2012)
It is good to be with you today. I give God thanks for the MCC's Board of Directors, all who serve on the many working groups, and all who give financially throughout the year to forward Christ's hopeful, audacious prayer that we would live and act as one Church. Joel, Gayle, Polly and Robert are an wise and generous Executive Committee. I am especially grateful for the MCC staff- Administrator Fred Hayes and intern Nicole Bernier, who come to us through the Life Together program of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts. Fred, Nikki and the staff of the Wellesley Hills Congregational Church worked very hard to make this day run smoothly. Join me in showing them our gratitude.
One evening this winter, I sat down in the dark wooden chairs at a nearby monastery for evening prayer. After a long day of ministry with the changing MCC, I needed to be in a place that was familiar, steady, dependable. I pulled out the hymnal and the prayer book and sat still in the darkness. Across the aisle from me, I saw a glow coming up from behind a pew. A young woman was peering over her iPad. Even here, amidst the cold stone and monastic chant, I could not escape new technology. An iPad in a monastery at evening prayer? Was nothing sacred? Didn't our faithful old prayerbook work just fine? Was she tweeting, facebooking, skyping? Couldn't I rest for a while in a corner of the Church that wasn't in the midst of change? The service began the same way it always began and moved along that dependable course, while I sat in my pew and fumed. A few days later, I found out that the young woman was visually impaired and was reading the large type liturgy off of her iPad. Isn't this where we are as the Church in Massachusetts? A time of dramatic, destabilizing change, unsure if the things we see changing around us are indeed helpful and holy.
You know these changes in your own community- Church is no longer a given in people's lives. We can't depend on all the familiar ways of communicating and it seems like a new media platform pops up every other day. We don't automatically have a place of privilege waiting for us in the public square. We can't presume Church: A recent Gallup poll identified Massachusetts as the fourth "least-religious" state. We can't depend on denominational identity in the same way. Raise your hands, how many of you have been formed by multiple Christian communities? We've all heard it before, but the era of cradle-to-grave anything is mostly over. The Presbyterian Church (USA) just said that 58% of their members did not grow up in their tradition. As the Pew Forum's US Religious Landscapes Survey notes, 44% of Americans "now profess a religious rather affiliation that is different from the religion in which they were raised." Whether it's new evangelical converts to Orthodoxy who didn't grow up speaking Greek or the flux between Protestant and Roman Catholic communities, the composition of our local churches is changing. Christian unity matters because the divisions of the church are now in every local congregation.
All these changes are multiplied when we gather with a council of churches. We can go at it alone, each trying to forge their own way through this time of immense change, doubling down into our denominational bunkers. Or we can work together, recognizing that God is doing a new thing with all our churches and we might have something to learn from one another. You are a part of the new thing God is doing here.
I believe the Massachusetts Council of Churches can adapt and must adapt to our changing landscape and the changing needs of your churches. I am taking to heart this year's Week of Prayer for Christian Unity reading from St. Paul's first letter to the church in Corinth: "We will not all die, but we will all be changed"(1Cor 15:51b). Christ's prayer for the unity of his Church is timeless; our ecumenical structures are not. The Massachusetts Council of Churches is changing. You saw our budget, 53,000 less than the year before. We cut the Associate Director position. And we will be ok because we are a people of the resurrection. Some things will change, some things will die. But the bedrock truth of our faith remains that we are one in Christ. Christ's prayer for the unity of his Church is timeless; our ecumenical structures are not.
Even amidst all this change, let me be clear on this: For unity stronger than simply intra-Christian strategic cooperation or temporary agreement on a given advocacy that ends when we disagree, we must be absolutely clear on our theological foundation. Christian unity is not optional, not something we just check off or outsource to a committee. Rev. Dr. Michael Kinnamon has pointed to our "faulty ecclesiology," where "councils are often regarded as organizations alongside churches, but this misses the point. Councils are not organizations the churches join, but covenants they make with one another to express something of our unity in Christ." Here, we are a part of a covenant made with God and one another. This is a holy thing we do together. I am convinced that the Holy Spirit will not abandon us yet.
The Massachusetts Council of Churches is a 110 year old expression of our unity in Christ in Massachusetts. We inherit a strong legacy of common Christian witness to justice and reconciliation. In the past year, we have done right by that heritage. Together, we created and participated in a massive interfaith service marking the 10 year anniversary of September 11th in Boston- and we connected and promoted hundreds of local commemorations around the state on that Sunday. We held strong where we could, and faithfully lost the battle to stop casino gambling. We became an internship site for the Life Together program as a sign of our commitment to raising up new leaders and ecumenical formation. We held a wonderful interfaith dinner and marked Jack's departure as executive. We transitioned to a new leadership and continued the hard work of reassessing our structures and resources. We are imagining new ways for our traditions to interact. We invited 'Ecumenical Pilgrims' to visit two different Armenian Orthodox Churches for Armenian Christmas, as a way of experiencing the diversity of the body of Christ here in Massachusetts. We have restarted the Christian-Muslim dialogue. We welcome our musicians and liturgists to our ecumenical hymnal event at Boston University School of Theology. We have developed a robust digital ministry that has us connecting with new communities. And coming up, we will be present- not just me but representatives of the Board as well- at every one of the denominational gatherings this summer. As the United Methodists, Lutherans and Episcopalians in Western MA elect new Bishops, we will be an ecumenical presence. And at the end of May, we are partnering with many denominations and Christian agencies for a Week of Ecumenical Advocacy- you are invited to talk with Nicole Bernier and Ruy Costa of Episcopal City Mission about how you can be involved. We are digging deeply into relationships with local congregations and ecumenical clergy associations across the state. It is a great joy of this ministry that I get to visit local congregations and tell the stories of what we are doing together. Now, my calendar is looking a bit empty after, well tomorrow. So invite me to come guest preach and teach in your local parish (email@example.com) . I am committing to be present at churches in every county in the Commonwealth this year. We are setting clear and measurable goals for our shared ministry. We are building a strong web of relationships to strengthen the body of Christ. Together, we can and we will be a unified, vibrant, hopeful witness.
You are a part of this change. This annual meeting is an experiment as we test out those strategic goals we set last year that prodded us to think about new communities to connect to, younger leadership, better communication and events relevant to vital, local congregational life. All the while, we are holding constant to the bedrock commitment to Christian Unity even as we explore this strange new land of social media and what it means for the Church. Social Media commentator Jim Rice draws on Avery Dulles' Models of the Church and suggests that social media's ability to collapse time and space provides us with "new and tangible analogies of God's transcendence and immanence." Our experience of social media can provide us with new analogies for the "one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church." Let me be clear, I am not saying that social media will save the Church or the ecumenical movement. That is Christ's role. But it's adapt or die.
If we choose to avoid social media, we concede space and a conversation about the nature and mission of the Church will go on without us. This is also not just a technical fix about how to create your church/organization/council's Facebook page It is an adaptive challenge to take our established ecumenical relationships and open ourselves up to the new and somewhat unclear expression of the Church in social media. What could the chaotic, conversational, boundary-crossing networks of social media teach us about what Christian unity might looks like in ways unlike what we have imagined? What new thing might God be doing in our midst?
It is good and right that we explore this together. We have four very wise shepherds in front of us to kick off the conversation. You have their bios in your bulletin. I am deeply grateful to Jack, Keith, Vicki and Domenico for your ministries and your willingness to be here today. Thank you for teaching us.

Compound inequalities are two inequalities
considered together.
A compound inequality containing the word and is true only if
both inequalities are true. This type of compound inequality is
called a conjunction.
Get a PDF of similar solved problems sent to you!
Examples of conjunctions:
x > -5 and x <1
y < 3 and y > -3
A compound inequality containing the word or is true if either
of the inequalities is true. This type of compound inequality is
called a disjunction.
Examples of disjunctions:
x > -5 or x > 1
y < 3 or y > -3
Example 1
Therefore, our answer is y> -3 or y <3
(this means that y can be any number since all numbers are
either greater than -3 or less than positive 3)
Algebra Buster software can easily solve any algebra problem
compound inequalities such as this one.
See how Algebra Buster solves a similar problem
Example 2
Therefore, our answer is x < 3 and x > -3 (this means
that x must be some number between 3 and -3 )
Algebra Buster software will show you all the steps and explanations
if you need them. Here are
some examples. Our software actually helps you
learn Algebra so there is no need to hire an expensive tutor.
Example 3
Therefore, our answer is m < 2 and m> 1
(this means that x must be some number between 1 and 2 )
Example 4
2 < 3x + 2 is the first inequality
3x + 2 < 14 is the second inequality
Now, we solve the way we did in Examples 1 -3: 2 < 3x + 2
and 3x + 2 < 14
Therefore, our answer is x> 0 and x <4 or we can write
it 0 < x < 4
(this means that x must be some number between 0 and 4 )

A private cloud with high availability and storage on the laptop
Nesting in the Cloud
Nesting of hypervisors, known as a nested virtualization, makes it possible to set up a complete virtualization scenario with a data center, storage, and high-availability functions on a laptop. In this article, we show you how, with Linux iSCSI and free VMware trial versions.
Some modern laptops include hardware that only a few years ago would have been found on a major server: 64-bit CPU, dual or quad-core, 8GB of RAM, and a 500GB hard disk. Devices like this can handle simple desktop or office applications without breaking a sweat; only special applications, such as software development with a J2EE application server and an IDE or HD video editing, really stress the 8GB of RAM.

The base tariff with its standard terms and conditions in its copyrighted format has been accepted and approved by the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs as pursuant to N.J.A.C. 13:44D-3.1 as well as all preceding regulatory agencies since 1969 when moving first became regulated in New Jersey .
The State of New Jersey regulatory agency, The Division of Consumer Affairs, requires all movers to publish and maintain the rates they will charge consumers in a tariff of proper format and submit that tariff to the DCA to be kept on file for that mover. Movers are also allowed to file a change of rates only twice a year. The NJMTB provides full tariff services for its members and files the requested rates on that mover's behalf as well as filing rate changes for members twice a year upon written member requests for changes. Each carrier must independently supply the moving and accessorial rates that they request NJMTB to file with the Director of The Division of Consumer Affairs in their behalf. Only the Executive Director of NJMTB can review and discuss tariffs with each individual member; such discussions are limited to the method, applicability or type of charges, not to the actual rates that the carrier has filed. The NJMTB will publish individual rates and does not suggest or recommend rates to any of its members. Whatever rates the member needs, requires, or desires are filed for that member and are subject to acceptance by the Director of NJ Division of Consumer Affairs.
The NJMTB will act as the designated agent of record for members. We also provide a professional answer source for members or those people first entering the moving industry to help them understand the complicated rules and regulations of the industry. Additionally, the NJMTB will also provide assistance for prospective new movers who want to become licensed movers. We help them by explaining NJ regulations as they complete the licensing application before filing it with the DCA, review paperwork with the applicant and provide them with the state required tariff for their submission for a license.
If you are a licensed mover and would like to apply for membership to The NJ Movers Tariff Bureau, please click on the application below, print the form, complete the information and return it by mail with your check to NJ Movers Tariff Bureau. We also must receive a copy of each of the following documents: (1) NJ movers license (2) Certificate of Incorporation or Partnership (3) Certificate of NJ Business Registation (4) Trade Name Certificate if you operate as a DBA company. Once we receive the information, we will send you the tariff rate pages that must be completed by you with the rates you would like to have filed. You also will receive a desigination of Agent Form for you to complete.

What is in this article?:
- China, Russia Significant Export Opportunities For Corn Belt Agriculture
- Russia
More About:
It has been 40 years since the Russian wheat deal shook up the U.S. commodity market, and since then producers of both grains and meats have become increasingly interested in and reliant upon the export market for adding value to their commodities. In recent years growing economies have transformed developing countries into major consumers, and many of those have great impact on the value of U.S. farm products as well as the supply available to U.S. consumers. Many of the international trade issues were brought to the table this past week at the USDA's annual Outlook Forum.
William Westman, Vice President for International Trade, with the American Meat Institute, in Washington, said China is challenged with its efforts to feed over 1 billion people without the resources it needs to achieve that. Sixty-six percent of China's land is a dry savanna, mountains or a non-farmable desert. In addition to 13% of the country that is cultivated, 21% is in forest. Even between sidewalks and buildings in large cities, there are efforts to grow corn. Over the past 25 years, there has been progress made in increasing crop yields. Corn yields have increased from about 57 to 83 bu./acre. Soybean yields have increased only from 24 to 27 bu./acre.
China needs improved grain and oilseed production to feed to livestock, which is a priority for the government. Fifty-one percent of the farms have less than 100 head of hogs being marketed, and that number is declining. Forty-nine percent of pork farms have more than 100 head and their number is increasing.
Consumers are increasing, particularly the middle class. When China became part of the international trading community in 2002, the number of households has increased from 50 million to just over 100 million today, with a prediction of 225 million by 2023. And they are eating out more often as the economy grows. Just 15 years ago, Chinese consumers spent 100 billion Yuan on food services, but increased to 1,800 Yuan in 2009. That was equal to the amount spent by Japanese consumers and half the amount spent by U.S. consumers on eating out. 2010 data indicated a 15-20% growth rate.
Westman indicated the increasing consumer demand is pointing to the need for food, but the Chinese infrastructure will have challenges in meeting the demand. Much of it may fall upon the U.S., not only for meat products, but for feed grains needed by Chinese livestock producers.

Americans are the most fearful of government monitoring online.

Americans were quite confident their passwords were strong, though.

Opera has approved a Web of Trust extension for its browser.
(Source: Opera Software ASA)
Study also shows men have slightly different browsing security tendencies than women
In honor of
Data Privacy Day 2011
, Norwegian browser-maker Opera Software ASA has released a security study [
press release
]. The study offers some pretty humorous and intriguing statistics.
The study finds that more Americans worry about their
online privacy being violated
(25 percent) than going bankrupt (23 percent) or losing their job (22 percent).
Also Americans appeared to be the most
fearful of their government
. Of the three web-heavy nations studied -- the U.S., Japan, and Russia -- Americans were by far the most fearful of the government monitoring their online activities. Over 35 percent said they were the most worried about the government having too much insight into their online activities, versus only 14 percent in Russia and 7 percent in Japan.
Still, Americans appeared to be generally more confident than their security savvy than their foreign peers. The results show 61 percent of Americans surveyed believed
their passwords were very secure
, versus only ~50 percent and ~26 percent in Russia and Japan, respectively. Americans also deleted their web histories most often and were second only to the Russians in antivirus use percentage (79 percent in the U.S.).
Interestingly there was some observed gender difference in terms of web browsing habits. The study found 52 percent of men surveyed delete
their web browsing history
regularly, versus only 42 percent of women.
The survey was carried out via contractor YouGov and included over 1,000 participants over the age of 18 in each of the three countries examined.
In related news, Opera released a minor update -- 11.01 [
] [
] -- to its browser, fixing several security vulnerabilities, one of which was critical. You can read more about that vulnerability
Opera also added support for a new extension [
] that is popular on other browsers -- Web of Trust [
press release
]. The extensions offers user-submitted and expert reviews of sites' trustworthiness when you mouse-over a web-link. The service also offers child safety ratings, to help prevent children from being exposed to inappropriate content online.
Vesa Perälä, CEO of WOT describes, "WOT brings transparency to the Web and makes it more difficult for unscrupulous site owners to operate. For example, the WOT community is better at detecting scam sites than automated systems alone, because it requires input from real consumers to identify bad customer service. We are pleased to make the WOT extension available as another line of defense for Opera users."
"You can bet that Sony built a long-term business plan about being successful in Japan and that business plan is crumbling." -- Peter Moore, 24 hours before his Microsoft resignation

New London - The city received design plans for a proposed National Coast Guard Museum Wednesday, and the mayor said he is impressed.
Jimmy Coleman, chairman and president of the National Coast Guard Museum Association, was in town Wednesday to meet with Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio. Plans for the museum have been approved by the association and Adm. Robert J. Papp Jr., commandant of the Coast Guard, Finizio said.
U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2nd District, also met with Coleman while he was in the area. Courtney said he saw drawings for a roughly 50,000-square-foot museum on property adjacent to the train station in downtown. But, he said, the plans are still subject to input from the city and are not final.
"I think having this adjacent to the train station, with the parking garage and the interstate nearby, all fits together as a great way to drive visitors to New London," Courtney said. "It's really going to be a very attractive, exciting destination."
Many have speculated that the museum would be located on the land between Union Station and Cross Sound Ferry. The city owns a 1-acre parcel between the ferries and City Pier Plaza.
Coleman could not be reached Wednesday because he was flying back to New Orleans from Hartford.
Bob Ross, executive director of the state's Office of Military Affairs, has attended previous meetings about the museum but was not present Wednesday. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy was in Stamford.
"Right now, it really does rest with the City of New London," Ross said. "They have got to figure out how they're going support it, in terms of the way it would fit in the city."
Finizio said the designs are remarkable.
"They're profoundly impressive,'' Finizio said. "This project has the potential to transform the City of New London and be a driver of economic development.''
The next step is to continue to contact property owners, abutting property owners and other stakeholders interested in project, as well as federal, state and local officials, Finizio said.
"We're at the stage where it's just a matter of getting everyone in the room, showing everyone the designs and addressing concerns and getting commitments to move forward,'' Finizio said. "If there are persistent issues, we will address them. ... Designs can be modified, tweaked, corrected or changed.''
Capt. Richard A. Hahn, chief of the Coast Guard's public affairs office, said Wednesday night that the Coast Guard is doing everything it can to facilitate the process.
"Everyone is working toward the museum solution," Hahn said.
More than 13 years ago, the city approved development plans at Fort Trumbull that included a parcel for a Coast Guard museum. Those plans fizzled out, but more recently, museum officials shifted their focus to downtown.
"It's too bad,'' said Linda Mariani, member of the board of the Renaissance City Development Committee who saw plans for the Fort Trumbull location. "It was a spectacular building. It just would have been too expensive to build there."
Last year, Todd O'Donnell, who manages Union Station, presented a plan for a Coast Guard museum in the train station, an 1888 Henry R. Richardson-designed building that was saved from demolition in the 1970s. The site was not selected.
O'Donnell said Wednesday he heard the museum was going on the waterfront but he had not seen any plans.
"We would want to see it on the waterfront. That's why we promoted it,'' O'Donnell said. "We think a Coast Guard Museum is a great idea downtown."

Firing the writers is the best option, but Corday was just singing Higley's praises, so that doesn't appear to be in the cards. A shame though, because the baby switch seems to be the only semi-entertaining story that she has in her.

It seems that there's some major movement in the quest to find a love interest for the new Spider-Man. However, it may be the case that Andrew Garfield's upcoming 2012 turn as the Wall-Crawler may be the luckiest one yet, as he could be in store for not one, but two potential sweethearts in his life. And before you conclude that this is a news item about a porn version of the Spidey saga (where webs aren't the only thing he slings,) then think again. It seems that 'ole Peter Parker may possibly find himself in a love triangle and much like in the last good Indiana Jones film, he might have to "choose wisely." And with that, the names of Emma Stone (Easy A, Zombieland) and Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland) have suddenly surfaced as speculation points to both women being cast successively as Spidey's iconic loves Mary Jane Watson and Gwen Stacy.
At the moment, there are conflicting reports on the issue. When a list of six candidates for the coveted role was making the rounds last month, the slot was rumored to not be for his best known love Mary Jane, but his tragically-destined first love Gwen Stacy. In fact, Variety is standing by the idea that Mary Jane will not be in the film, but rather, there would be a "new lead role." Yet, one look at Stone, and one gets the impressions that her being a spitting image of the Mary Jane of comic lore has to be more than a coincidence. Likewise, Wasikowska could more than easily pass as the miniskirt-wearing leggy blonde martyr in Gwen.
Coming off the successful debut of Easy A last weekend, Emma Stone's relationship with Sony and its head Amy Pascal appear to be a great source of speculation that the studio is leaning towards her especially. Meanwhile, Entertainment Weekly states that Wasikowska's interest in the film is "more ambivalent" as she is reportedly leaning towards indie projects more so than popcorn projects. However, we shouldn't count the aforementioned six candidates from last month out of it just yet, as there are still some rumblings about Emma Roberts being high up on the short list by Sony. So, yeah, but for the new idea of having two leading ladies, I guess this story kind of spins you 360 degrees.
There's going to be a lot of interesting dynamics going into this picture. Already making things difficult, is the fact (which has already caused millions of facepalms) that we're going to have a 27-28 year-old Brit in Garfield playing a once again high-school-aged Peter Parker going through his nerd phase. Finding the right chemistry for a love interest to play off your main character is crucial and difficult enough, but finding a rhythm that works between two potential love interests will be insane. If this is indeed about forcing Peter into a situation where he's torn between these two gorgeous women (which in itself, I think may diminish the audience's ability to empathize with him,) it will be about making sure both of the women also play off each other well enough in this struggle (or whatever it will be) for Peter's affections. Surely, director Marc Webb has his work cut out for him.
How does the prospect of Emma Stone and Mia Wasikowska being the bread in a new Spidey sandwich sound to you?

What is in this article?:
- Pushing that big farm bill rock uphill
- Time rapidly running down
"How many times have we pushed this farm legislation right up to the top, only to see it roll down on us, like Sisyphus pushing that boulder throughout eternity," asks John Anderson, chief economist for the American Farm Bureau Federation in Washington. "Right now, there's a lot of anticipation that we'll get a bill by the end of the year. But there's still the nagging question: Will it just roll down again?"
JOHN ANDERSON, second from right, senior economist with the American Farm Bureau Federation, Washington, visits with Ken Hood, from left, Extension professor of agricultural economics; Steve Turner, head of the Department of Agricultural Economics; and Byron Parman, assistant Extension economics professor, all at Mississippi State University.
Time rapidly running down
The calendar is becoming more an obstacle with each passing day, Anderson says. "Given the government shutdown, the wrangle over the debt limit, and other major issues, let's face it — the farm bill is not a priority in Washington right now. Dealing with these more-immediate issues will take time, and that's time we don't have a lot of in what's left of this legislative session and the end of the year when permanent law will kick in."
What are the incentives for getting the farm bill done? "Money is always an incentive," Anderson says. "But it's not as big an incentive now as it used to be. Title 1 spending under the Senate bill scores out at only about $3.95 billion per year. Spreading that out across all program crop acres, it comes out to approximately $15 per acre per program crop. Once that was real money, but not now.
Read more: If farm bill doesn't address hunger, what's it for?
"We used to talk about farm program payments being important for a farmer to get financing, and it was a big deal. But it's not nearly as relevant today. It's still important — but it's not the incentive it used to be for most crops.
"The value of crops has gone up dramatically over the past five or six years and the cost of production has gone through the roof, so the level of government support relative to what crops are worth is just not as big an incentive any more.

"I heard last week of a farmer in Indiana who bid $475 per acre cash rent for crop land and didn't get it. Is $18 or $20 an acre of corn base going to convince his banker to finance him when he's paying $475 an acre before he even goes into the field? I don't think so."
Another incentive to get the farm bill passed, Anderson says, is the overhanging threat of permanent law that would go into effect Jan. 1 if new legislation isn't in place. "Nobody wants to see that. Something needs to get done before then. The threat of permanent law is the ultimate hammer to get Congress to quit bickering and get something done that will give us helpful and meaningful farm programs.
"That deadline is coming pretty quickly, and that's a pretty strong incentive for Congress to act."

The latest issue of Hepatology determines reliability criteria for liver stiffness evaluation by transient elastography.
Liver stiffness evaluation is usually considered as reliable when it fulfills criteria of having 10 or more valid measurements, 60% or more success rate, and interquartile range / median ratio (IQR/M) of 0.30 or less.
However, such reliable liver stiffness evaluation have never been shown to be more accurate than unreliable liver stiffness evaluation.
Dr Jérôme Boursier and colleagues evaluated the relevance of the usual definition for LSE reliability, and improved reliability by using diagnostic accuracy as a primary outcome in a large population.
The team included 1,165 patients with chronic liver disease from 19 French centers.
All patients had liver biopsy and liver stiffness evaluation.
The research team noted that 76% of liver stiffness evaluation were reliable according to the usual definition.
However, these reliable liver stiffness evaluation were not significantly more accurate than unreliable liver stiffness evaluation.
In multivariate analyses with different diagnostic targets, liver stiffness evaluation median and IQR/M were independent predictors of fibrosis staging, with no significant influence of 10 or more valid measurements, or liver stiffness evaluation success rate.
These 2 reliability criteria determined 3 liver stiffness evaluation groups, including 'very reliable', 'reliable', and 'poorly reliable'.
The team found that rates of well-classified patients for the diagnosis of cirrhosis were, respectively, 90%, 86%, and 70%.
According to these new reliability criteria, 9% of liver stiffness evaluation were poorly reliable, 74% were reliable, and 17% were very reliable.
Dr Boursier's team concludes, "The usual definition for liver stiffness evaluation reliability is not relevant."
"Liver stiffness evaluation reliability depends on IQR/M according to liver stiffness median level, defining thus 3 reliability categories, including very reliable, reliable, and poorly reliable liver stiffness evaluation."

People, people, Unia was a one-timer, something they just had to do given the band's mood at the time, and now the experiment is over! I do not expect an album made just of My Selenes and San Sebastians, but I'm sure they are going to impress us again. Long live.
Not that Unia was a bad album though. But I agree that the lack of catchy choruses and overall speed was unexpected.
Written by Guest on 26.11.2008 at 11:59
The interesting thing about "Unia" is that it really gets better and better each time you listen to it. The first time I heard it I thought it was the worst Sonata Arctica could come up with. BUT then I started to understand the songs, so to speak, and suddenly it was one of the best albums I've ever heard in my life.
Give "Unia" some time, it's really worth it!

( 757 ) 672 - 6921
423 East High Street
Philadelphia, PA 19144
Private University
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania
Project Rationale:
Comparing the Numbers
Parents today are becoming more and more active in helping their children decide where to go for a secondary education. For the most part, these parental decisions are made in comparing class rankings, GPAs, and the number of possible majors rather than with the numbers that really count everyday, like how many flavor combinations are available at the coffee bar.
At Wilkes University, sure a good education is important, but making sure that your child can walk home safely at night is just as important. And while comparing the number of park benches may seem unusual at first, once a parent understands that the "mantra" of Wilkes is about one-on-one mentorship time with your professors, it becomes very relevant.
This booklet calls out all sorts of intangibles aimed at giving parents a better sense of what Wilkes is really about, your child's future, not another statistic for the University website.

TTI Considering Hoover, Dirt Devil Sale
July 18, 2011,
HONG KONG-TTI Industries has begun to explore the possible sale of its floor-care business, which consists of the long-established Hoover and Dirt Devil brands, under its subsidiary, TTI Floor Care North America.
Responding to press reports, the company issued a statement yesterday saying that it has engaged an unnamed financial adviser to consult on a possible sale. TTI also said it has held "very preliminary discussions with a number of potentially interested parties." The statement also said TTI is considering "various strategic options," which include holding on to the business.
"The current assessment of the possible divestment is at a very preliminary state, and there is no assurance that the possible divestment will proceed," the statement said. Beyond this, TTI said it would not comment on "rumors or speculations reported in the press or media."

A PAEDOPHILE has been jailed for 14 years after abusing four Oxford girls aged between six and 10.
Danny Prin, 37, abused the children between 1993 and 1995.
He was convicted and sentenced at Oxford Crown Court yesterday.
The Bicester resident, of Kennet Close, was convicted of 10 counts of indecent assault, six of indecency with children and four of rape relating to the four victims.
After being charged on November 7 last year, he pleaded guilty to one count of indecent assault, and a jury unanimously agreed that he was guilty of the other counts. He was acquitted of one other count.
Investigating officer Det Con Matthew Hodgetts said:"Recent high-profile trials of celebrities obscure the fact that the victims of historic abuse of children are often ordinary people, and that, in the main, the offenders are also not in the public eye.
"In this case, the crimes occurred 20 years ago, but it would be wrong just to leave events in the past.
"As the victims gave evidence it became apparent that what happened has continued to affect them.
"I hope that the fact that a jury has believed them will help them move forward with their lives.
"To others who are suffering in silence, this case shows that it is never too late to come forward to seek justice."

RUSH: I need to ask you guys something on the other side of the glass. I want you to be honest. I don't want any of this kiss-butt stuff that you are normally known for. Do I sound like I'm really down in the dumps over stuff today? I don't? Good. Because I got some e-mail, "Rush, what are you so down for today?" I'm not. I'm not down. But some of this stuff I have learned over the weekend that we're talking about, to me is really sobering stuff. Folks, I must tell you. I'm one of these people -- and I know I overdo this phrase that I can't get any arms around something.
I really don't quite know how to express this. The Melissa Harris-Perry thing, grab audio sound bite number one and play it again. Well, I'm struggling here to explain how all of this is affecting me. I wish I could just ignore it and move on. I've been really blessed in life, and I have literally nothing about which to complain. Not one thing. I'm not oriented toward complaining anyway, but if there's anybody that has nothing to complain about personally, it's me.
Yet, I'm gonna tell you: Some of this stuff that is happening in the country stands in the way of my happiness. It stands in the way of my happiness 'cause I am scared to death of what's happening to the country. It's not that it's all gonna crumble before I have a chance to fulfill my life and enjoy it all. That's not it. I'm not worried about that. I'm not worried about things being taken away from me. I just can't stand to see this. I can't stand to see this stuff triumphing. It physically angers me, and I'll tell you, what did I watch? Da-da-da-da-da...
I was scanning/channel surfing over the weekend, and I might have come across the NCAA basketball tournament. I see an arena full of screaming people, and I want to shout, "What in the world are you doing? Do you have any why what's happening to your country while you're in there screaming?" I see so many people tuned out, not caring, apparently not concerned. At least that's the way it appears. I'm probably wrong about that. I hope I am. But I don't feel like going to a college basketball game and cheering about anything. Even if I like basketball. I don't feel like doing it.
Things are so drastically wrong, heading in such a wrong direction. I was playing golf again Saturday, and a friend of mine was playing with the club pro. We should have been talking golf and the latest happening on the tour. We went into the clubhouse after playing, and we started talking about all the rotgut stuff happening to the country. Everybody's worried about their kids and grandkids, particularly their grandkids and whether or not they're even gonna have a chance to provide for themselves, much less become prosperous.
And then I realize, I'm probably -- and you're in this group too -- in the 2% to 3% of the country THAT cares, and everybody else isn't. (interruption) Well, I hope it's more than that, but I feel like 2% to 3% care and everybody else is just, you know, running around, living their life in their little isolated instances. They're doing what they can, which I also understand. Who does want to face this?
What can anybody do about it? The easiest thing to do is to ignore it. I mean, who wants to have to listen to Melissa Harris-Perry tell them that they have no right to their own kids? Who wants to hear that? Who wants to even deal with it? I hear it, and I think, "This has gotta be beaten back. This has got to be stopped." Anyway, here it is again, just so you're up to speed on what it is I'm talking about.
HARRIS-PERRY: We have never invested as much in public education as we should have because we've always had kind of a private notion of children: Your kid is yours and totally your responsibility. We haven't had a very collective notion of these are our children. So part of it is we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents, or kids belong to their families, and recognize that kids belong to whole communities. Once it's everybody's responsibility and not just the households, then we start making better investments.
RUSH: Right. How silly? How absolutely ridiculous that your kids are your responsibility! Now, I've been doing this program for 25 years, and over most of the 25 years I'd play something like that and literally laugh at it. We'd make fun of it, the usual routine. We'd try to ridicule it. But I don't know. It's to the point now where I wonder every day, "When people hear this, how many of them agree with it?"

ANC councillor shot dead in KZN
An African National Congress councillor has been shot dead in Ulundi, KwaZulu-Natal police said on Monday.
"We can confirm that an ANC councillor was shot dead at his home on Sunday at 7pm," Lt-Col Vincent Mdunge said.
He said a man knocked at the door soon after the councillor had returned home from a meeting in Nongoma. His son opened the door and a man asked to see the councillor.
"The man fired shots at him when he emerged. He tried to run into his bedroom but it was too late... he suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was declared dead at the scene."
He said the motive for the shooting was not known and no arrest had been made. A case of murder was opened.
KwaZulu-Natal co-operative governance MEC Nomusa Dube said she was saddened by the councillor's murder, identifying him as Makhosonke Msibi.
"According to the reports councillor Msibi had just returned home from his party's recruitment campaign in Nongoma when an unknown gunman entered his house and shot him at point blank range in full view of his family members," she said in a statement.
"We are deeply saddened by the brutal killing of one of the committed and tireless servants in the field of local government in the province," she said.
The death of Msibi was a blow to the province's democratic system of local government and the development of the Zululand district as a whole.
"We do not know the cause and the motive. We are, however, worried that the killing of councillors is becoming a disturbing trend, noting that it is not happening for the first time," she said.
"If this cowardly use of violence was carried out with the intention to subvert the will of the people it will not succeed."
Zululand District Municipality mayor and National Freedom Party (NFP) president Zanele KaMagwaza-Msibi called on police to arrest those involved in the killing of Msibi.
"I call on police to investigate and arrest the perpetrators as we do not want our province to be involved in political violence once again. It is worrying when political leaders are getting killed especially when electioneering intensifies."
KaMagwaza-Msibi is not related to the slain councillor.
She also called for political tolerance in the area ahead of the national elections next year.
"I call on the people of Zululand to practice political tolerance as the 2014 elections campaign intensifies... We know the terrible pain that came with political violence and we don't want our province to experience that painful past again," she said.
The ANC in KwaZulu-Natal said Msibi was its "visionary and hard-working" branch chairman in Ulundi.
"Comrade Msibi, 48, was one of the comrades who recruited thousands of members for the ANC in Ulundi since he joined our movement.
"We have lost a person who ensured that the ANC was on course to emerge as the dominant force in the area generally and in particular at the next election in Nongoma," said provincial secretary Sihle Zikalalala.
He said political killings were an indication of political bankruptcy and immaturity of people who had been rejected by the people of the province.
"The perpetrators should learn from history. These acts simply serve to make us even more determined to entrench full democracy and free political activity throughout KwaZulu-Natal."
He said Msibi was shot dead barely hours after he had returned from a ceremony welcoming hundreds of new members from the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) and the National Freedom Party (NFP) in Nongoma.
