The Shadow Minister for Transport Ken Travers and Labor Leader Eric Ripper and other members of parliament rode to the Hutton Street cycling problem area. The BTA was there to add their support to the importance of more spending for cycling infrastructure.
The office of Ken Travers issued a press release condeming the lack of progress on cycling infrastructure, pointing out that the dangerous cycling environment on Perth roads was deterring people from using bicycles to go to work, school, shops or train stations.

Johannesburg - Government needs to cancel the toll collection
contract with the Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) Consortium, the
Democratic Alliance said on Friday.
"This is the only way to escape the exorbitant and
unworkable e-toll system that has caused so much protest in Gauteng,"
said DA spokesman Jack Bloom.
He estimated that R11 billion would be spent on the
contract over eight years and R6.6 billion would be saved if it was
"Damages would have to be paid for capital already
spent and for lost profits, but cancelling is still cheaper than
continuing with this contract," he said.
The implementation of the e-tolling system on Gauteng's
highways was postponed for a month by the transport department and SA
National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) on Thursday.
The announcement was made by transport director general
George Mahlalela, just hours after the African National Congress and
the Congress of SA Trade Unions said they would ask the government for a
month-long delay.
E-tolling was to have been implemented on 185 kilometres of highway in Johannesburg and Tshwane on Monday.
If a responsible official that was involved in the contractual agreement between SANRAL and the Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) Consortium, comes forward and shows proof there was corruption in the contract, then the contract can be canceled without any penalties being incurred. In addition, funds already paid over can be recovered.
Come forward honest SA citizen, you will be voted for as president!!!
who is this ETC? try looking on the internet, they do not even have a webpage... There is no company profile. some bunch of cronies who were awarded the contract, no track record that they are able to do the collections. how van they justify R11billion to do the collections. Smells very fishy to me. only info I could find is an office registered in a small office block in Ferndale, does not sound like an R11 billion operation to me...
The first question to be asked should be why this was once more awarded to an offshore company.

OpenXava 3.1.1 is a framework to develop Java Enterprise applications in a different way: OpenXava avoids MVC. You provide only your POJOs annotated with JPA and you obtain an application ready for production.
With OpenXava, you only need to write your model, POJOs and Java 5 annotations. You do not need to write the view, and the controller (for CRUD, printing, etc) is reused. And from that you'll have an application for CRUD, report generation in PDF, export to Excel, searching, sorting, validations etc. You only need to write a simple Java class, no XMLs, no JSPs and no code generation.
The main new features of version 3.1.1 are the full support for WebSphere Portal 6.1 and allowing several AJAX portlets in the same page.
WebSphere Portal Support
OX3.1.1 has full support for IBM WebSphere Portal 6.1, including the look & feel of the portlets. Look at this example:
Multimodule support
Now you can have several AJAX portelts in the same page. Look at this example on Liferay:
And, of course, also it's possible on WebSphere Portal:

Fear has gripped many top government officials and aides of the immediate past governor of Kaduna State, Mr. Patrick Yakowa, who died in a plane crash on Saturday.
Sources in Kaduna Government House told Saharareporters that a major casualty is likely to be the Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Lawal Samaila Abdullahi, a relative of Prof. Ango Abdullahi, as well as several Commissioners close to the late governor.
The crux of the problem is the widely-known and intense political rivalry between Abdullahi and the new governor, Alhaji Yero, when he was Deputy Governor which seems to justify booting out the state's scribe.
The source added that the only choice before Abdullahi is to bow out or risk his position which is now shaky in view of the fact that Yero may want to bring in his allies from the larger and suddenly more powerful camp of Vice President Namadi Sambo.
Other officials whose seats are hanging by a thread are Abokie Galadima, Yakowa's Chief of Staff; the Private Personal Secretary, Allamagani Yohanna; the Commissioner of Finance, Mr. John Ayuba; his Water Resources counterpart, Sunday Katung; Mr. Timothy Gandu, Economic Planning; and Jonathan Kish Adamu, the Commissioner of Justice and Attorney General.
Another suspected to be on the list heading for the exits is Mr. Reuben Buhari, Yakowa's media aide. Sources said he will be booted out as Yero's camp already has a spokesman-in-waiting.
A top female politician in Kaduna who pleaded for anonymity said there will be major shake-up by Governor Yero, and that, contrary to what he has said, he will also reverse many policies of his previous boss.
She said, "If you know the mindset of Yero, he is complete product of Sambo and will act in that light. There will be major shakeup and the booting but just after burial."
As at the time of this report, Yakowa's son, Mr. Peter Ibrahim Yakowa, was said to be moving out the personal belongings of his father from the official residence to their private home in Kaduna town.

Visual Observations
Visual observations of marine mammals made during large-scale surveys or associated with a specific research project can provide detailed information on the behavior, movement, and abundance of these animals in the wild. Scientists can compare baseline measurements obtained during "control" conditions to those obtained under experimental conditions, when sound is being transmitted. Changes in the animals' behavior and/or abundance can be used to infer how the animals are affected by sound. Visual observations are most appropriate for cetacean and sirenian species, as these mammals must surface to breathe. Pinnipeds do come to the surface for air, but they are difficult to observe from a boat at sea.
Visual observation studies involve trained observers that watch for marine animals of interest. The observers can be shipboard, in airplanes, or on land. For shipboard studies each observer is responsible for surveying a particular area of water on each side of the observation vessel. Binoculars are typically used to extend the visual range of observers, and night vision goggles can be used during hours of darkness.
Once animals are spotted many things can occur. First, the number of animals present is estimated. Then, depending upon the goals of the project, animals can be photographed for photo-identification purposes, behavioral data can be recorded, and/or an individual animal can be followed for a period of time. When one animal is observed for a period of time, this is referred to as a focal follow. Whether one or many animals are being observed, typical behavioral observations include behavioral state (feeding, socializing, resting, etc.), presence or absence of calves/pups, respiration rate, dive duration, and spacing or movement of animals.
Visual observations can also be obtained from aerial surveys. During aerial surveys a small plane flies close to the water while trained observers count the number of animals that are spotted. Aerial surveys are useful in obtaining abundance estimates or observing shifts in distribution over a large area in a short amount of time. For example, aerial surveys were used to compare the number of humpback whales and their distribution within 40 km of the ATOC (Acoustic Thermometry of Ocean Climate) source in two years when the source was transmitting to a year when the source was off.
Often, aerial surveys are conducted in conjunction with shipboard studies. The aerial team can direct the surface ship to animals for detailed studies, reducing the time and money devoted to long shipboard searches.

I was recently listening to a This American Life podcast episode in the car. The episode is titled: Master of Her Domain…Name. In this episode, Ira Glass presents the facts of Hillary Clinton's email scandal, based on a report from Politico that offers a factual perspective on the role technology played in the private server-email scandal from this year's U.S. election. Leaving politics aside, I couldn't help but wonder how many of us unknowingly violate security protocols and don't even realize it. Is Clinton's story simply a tale of a busy executive who is inexperienced with technology, working in a super locked-down environment where she and her staff felt forced to circumnavigate restrictions in order to conduct routine tasks? Let me explain.
There is an overwhelming need for the workforce to be properly empowered to conduct business within a secure environment. We see a lot of workers perform common activities such as opening phishing emails or using Dropbox instead of a designated internal SharePoint site, for example, because they make it easier to get the task at hand done. These activities can leave an organization's IT environment at risk to some serious security breaches. In other words, when security limits or hinders people from getting their jobs done, it creates a new level of risks as workers attempt to find creative workarounds for what feels to them like roadblocks. This is true for any organization – public or private sector.
We hear about this challenge from enterprises all the time, and RES can help.
Better workforce productivity
Many workers, especially busy executives, tend to be less interested in how technology works and more interested in how they can get their jobs done from anywhere, preferably on their mobile device since they're always on the move. As I listened to the root cause of the never-ending Clinton email scandal, that seemed very much the case for Hillary and her staff. She did not want to carry multiple devices. She wanted one device for a seamless experience to navigate the challenges of day-to-day business, while also maintaining personal business as well. This is not far off from what today's workforce expects from enterprise IT.
While Clinton and her staff were on the move, a routine challenge they often encountered was that their network (State Department) was not compatible with the Wi-Fi of the U.S. Air Force (their mode of transportation). As a result they couldn't complete routine tasks like printing documents from their email. Therefore, they came up with a workaround. They would forward documents from their .gov email to their personal Gmail or Hotmail accounts, and then print from their work network.
Again, politics aside, could something like this happen in your organization? Are people feeling forced to leverage personal or consumer technology because of seemingly trivial obstacles they face with internal IT? There's a very good chance that workers – and lots of them – are finding their own solutions to productivity problems without even considering the security implications of doing so. In many cases this behavior isn't malicious. In the worker's eyes, they are being harmless – even self sufficient. But it opens up new risks and, in some cases, impacts compliance and regulatory restrictions.
Back to my podcast. What this revealed is how simple user experience challenges can result in high profile crises. These are not uncommon scenarios for many organizations: staff traveling on the road, needing to send an email at night (off business hours), traveling overseas needing access to apps and information to perform their duties from anywhere at any time. These situations occur for workers across many organizations, and many times workers feel their only option is to figure out how to solve their access challenges themselves.
Tighter security may not be the best answer
Every day, IT faces the challenge of balancing security and productivity. While lockdown scenarios may have worked in the past, today's workers are too savvy for this model and a different approach is required. One way to support your workforce is with dynamic policies that provide IT with control, but enough flexibility so workers don't feel like their hands are tied. Empower workers through self service to try and get what they need through IT rather than workarounds. With this flexibility, it is imperative for IT to have tracking and visibility to allow more, restrict less, and ensure IT can see any suspicious activity and respond quickly.
At RES, we believe organizations can get their workers productive immediately and keep them productive even as their needs change over time. Through context awareness, automation and self service people can get the digital resources they need to do their jobs without delay. This allows for security policies to be in place and adapt to the appropriate for the worker's immediate context, and also allows for self service to support scenarios when exceptions to security policies need to be considered. Activity in the workspace and around access policies is completely tracked, so IT never has to guess who has accesses to what.
How do you balance security, while keeping your workforce unshackled and productive?

There is no better example of this historical quandary, which surrounds virtually every aspect of Washington's life, than that of his religious beliefs. For nearly two centuries, Americans have fought over Washington's personal theological philosophy in an effort to "claim" him as their own. Whether in the form of a politician, historian, minister, etc., the religious beliefs of George Washington have been subjected to the fires of partisan debate and spiritual deliberation.
There are a number of reasons that Washington stands out from his fellow founders. First of all is the simple fact that most of the other mainstream founders -- Franklin, Madison, Jefferson, Adams, etc. -- are relatively easy to understand in terms of their religious beliefs. Washington, however, is a different story. As a man who "developed the most notorious model of self-control in all of American history," Washington has been dubbed "the original marble man" for his desire for personal privacy and mystery (Joseph Ellis, His Excellency, 37). Even Washington's favorite guide, Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior, a book he recited throughout his life, contain insights into Washington's reclusive nature:
35th Let your Discourse with Men of Business be Short and Comprehensive.In addition to Washington's desire to cultivate privacy, the following factors have also made it very difficult to ascertain with any level of certainty Washington's religious beliefs:
73d Think before you Speak pronounce not imperfectly nor bring out your Words too hastily but orderly & distinctly.
88th Be not tedious in Discourse, make not many Digressigns, nor repeat often the Same manner of Discourse.
It therefore comes as no surprise that a man of such seclusion would prove very difficult to pinpoint on the religious spectrum.
1.) As the most celebrated founding father, Washington has become a "holy grail" of sorts for both Christian enthusiasts and secular devotees. In essence, Washington is the Tiger Woods of founding fathers.
2.) The sheer lack of "smoking gun" evidence to support Washington's Christian orthodoxy or devotion to deism makes any clear-cut classification of Washington into either camps look factually foolish.
3.) Current trends in American pop-culture seem to distort the historical record regarding Washington's religious beliefs.
As a result, Washington's religious views have become an enigma or paradox of sorts for historians and theologians alike.
To pinpoint Washington on the religious spectrum, we must first eliminate deism as having any serious influence on Washington. To be considered a true deist, one must reject the belief that a supreme being intervenes in the affairs of men. Simply put, Washington does not meet this definition. In a number of his letters, Washington regularly pointed to the hand of providence as being regularly involved in the affairs of men. In a letter to Governor Trumball, Washington writes:
"Allow me to return you my sincere thanks for the kind wishes and favorable Sentiments express'd in yours of the 13th Instant. As the Cause of our common Country, calls us both to an active and dangerous Duty, I trust that Divine Providence, which wisely orders the Affairs of Men, will enable us to discharge it with Fidelity and Success" [my emphasis].With deism being eliminated as a possible definition for Washington's faith, we are left to ascertain to what level Washington embraced Christianity. To do this, it is important that we first define what orthodox Christianity would look like in Washington's world. Having been born into the Anglican faith, Washington -- like every other Anglican of the 18th century -- was expected to adhere to certain creeds, which demonstrated his piety and devotion to God. Of course we cannot simply assume that Washington was a devout Anglican simply from his membership in that church because, after all, baptism was performed at infancy. This means that to resolve the "Paradox" of Washington's faith we must look at what he chose to do as an adult.
The Communion Debate
One of the first points that people look at to prove Washington's piety or the lack thereof is the practice of communion. The 39 Articles of faith of the Church of England are a perfect illustration of some of the basic beliefs that a devout Anglican was expected to embrace. When it comes to the practice of communion, the articles state the following:
Article XXV: Of the SacramentsOr as John 6:53 states:
Sacraments ordained of Christ be not only badges or tokens of Christian men's profession, but rather they be certain sure witnesses, and effectual signs of grace, and God's good will towards us, by the which he doth work invisibly in us, and doth not only quicken, but also strengthen and confirm our Faith in him.
There are two Sacraments ordained of Christ our Lord in the Gospel, that is to say, Baptism, and the Supper of the Lord.
Those five commonly called Sacraments, that is to say, Confirmation, Penance, Orders, Matrimony, and extreme Unction, are not to be counted for Sacraments of the Gospel, being such as have grown partly of the corrupt following of the Apostles, partly are states of life allowed in the Scriptures; but yet have not like nature of Sacraments with Baptism, and the Lord's Supper, for that they have not any visible sign or ceremony ordained of God.
The Sacraments were not ordained of Christ to be gazed upon, or to be carried about, but that we should duly use them. And in such only as worthily receive the same have they a wholesome effect or operation: but they that receive them unworthily purchase to themselves damnation, as Saint Paul saith.
Article XXVIII: Of the Lord's Supper
The Supper of the Lord is not only a sign of the love that Christians ought to have among themselves one to another; but rather it is a Sacrament of our Redemption by Christ's death: insomuch that to such as rightly, worthily, and with faith, receive the same, the Bread which we break is a partaking of the Body of Christ; and likewise the Cup of Blessing is a partaking of the Blood of Christ.
Transubstantiation (or the change of the substance of Bread and Wine) in the Supper of the Lord, cannot be proved by holy Writ; but is repugnant to the plain words of Scripture, overthroweth the nature of a Sacrament, and hath given occasion to many superstitions.
The Body of Christ is given, taken, and eaten, in the Supper, only after an heavenly and spiritual manner. And the mean whereby the Body of Christ is received and eaten in the Supper is Faith.
The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was not by Christ's ordinance reserved, carried about, lifted up, or worshipped.
Article XXIX: Of the Wicked which do not eat the Body of Christ in the use of the Lord's Supper
The Wicked, and such as be void of a lively faith, although they do carnally and visibly press with their teeth (as Saint Augustine saith) the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ, yet in no wise are they partakers of Christ: but rather, to their condemnation, do eat and drink the sign or Sacrament of so great a thing.
Article XXX: Of both kinds
The Cup of the Lord is not to be denied to the Lay-people; for both the parts of the Lord's Sacrament, by Christ's ordinance and commandment, ought to be ministered to all Christian men alike.
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.From the very doctrine of the Anglican Church, it is clear that communion was a divinely-sanctioned practice that was required of the orthodox believer.
Now, as most enthusiasts of early American religion know, Washington's participation in communion has been a hotly debated issue. Those who argue in defense of Washington's Christian orthodoxy will regularly dismiss this issue by claiming that an individual does not need to take the Lord's Supper to be a Christian. While this may be true, let us keep in mind that AS AN ANGLICAN, Washington had been raised to revere communion as a holy institution that was required of the devout believer. In other words, to be considered ORTHODOX in belief, an individual's participation in the Lord's Supper is a good barometer.
Unfortunately for historians, there are no surviving documents from Washington to help shed light on this issue. However, there are a number of documents from Washington's contemporaries, which prove very helpful in this debate. For example, Dr. James Abercrombie, who was the assistant rector of Christ Church in Philadelphia, stated the following in regards to Washington's participation in communion:
[O]n Sacrament Sundays, Gen'l Washington, immediately after the Desk and Pulpit services, went out with the greater part of the congregation, always leaving Mrs. Washington with the communicants, she invariably being one, I considered it my duty, in a sermon on Public Worship, to sate the unhappy tendency of example, particularly of those in elevated stations, who invariably turned their backs upon the celebration of the Lord's Supper. I acknowledge the remark was intended for the President, and, as such, he received it. A few days after, in conversation with, I believe, a Senator of the U. S., he told me he had dined the day before with the President, who, in the course of conversation at the table, said, that on the preceding Sunday, he had received a very just reproof from the public, for always leaving the church before the administration of the Sacrament; that he honored the preacher for his integrity and candour; that he had never considered the influence of his example; that he would never again give cause for the repetition of the reproof; and that, as he had never become a communicant, were he to become one then, it would be imputed to an ostentatious display of religious zeal arising altogether from his elevated station. Accordingly, he afterwards never came on the morning of Sacrament Sundays, tho', at other times, constant attending in the morning...In another account, Bishop William White states:
...That Washington was a professing Christian is evident from his regular attendance in our church; but, Sir, I cannot consider any man as a real Christian who uniformly disregards an ordinance so solemnly enjoined by the divine Author of our holy religion, and considered as a channel of divine grace [my emphasis].
In regard to the subject of your inquiry, truth requires me to say, that General Washington never received communion, in the churches of which I am a parochial minister. [Reference here].From the noted evidence, Washington's participation in the Lord's Supper, an ordinance of great importance to the Anglican Church, is highly in doubt.
In the end, the communion issue is a difficult one to pinpoint with any degree of certainty. Though the accounts of Washington's avoidance to take communion are quite strong, we will never be able to ascertain Washington's state of mind regarding this ordinance. Perhaps he avoided communion because he thought of it as a silly practice, or perhaps he felt personally unworthy to partake of Christ's flesh and blood. Whatever the reason, the fact that Washington purposely avoided communion is a significant component in determining his faith.
Washington and Prayer
Another issue that regularly comes up when discussing the faith of George Washington is prayer. Virtually every American has seen the infamous painting of the General on his knees in the snow of Valley Forge, humbly beseeching the God of heaven for his protection and blessings. As I have argued in a former post, the "Prayer at Valley Forge" painting is almost certainly as mythical a story as that of the cherry tree or the silver dollar. What is not disputed, however, is the fact that Washington was very much a man of devout prayer. In his 1200 page biography of Washington, author Peter Lillback (a favorite of shock jock Glenn Beck) provides a large collection of what he calls Washington's "written prayers." This collection in and of itself serves to prove the fact that Washington prayed on a regular basis. As a result, those who dispute Washington's devotion to prayer find their argument on very shaky ground. On the other hand, these "written prayers" still raise serious doubts about Washington being an orthodox Christian believer. For example, here are the actual phrases that Washington used in his "written prayers" to describe divinity, along with the number of times they were used:
"Providence" - 26 timesWith such a large assortment of phrases, I find it amazing that Lillback does not provide a single example of where Washington prayed to Jesus specifically or directly.
"Heaven" -25 times
"God" - 16 times
"Almighty God" - 8 times
"Lord" - 5 times
"Almighty" - 5 times
"Author of all Blessings" - 3 times
"Author of the Universe" - 3 times
"God of Armies" - 3 times
"Giver of Victory" - 3 times
"Great Ruler of the Universe" - 2 times
"Divine Protector" - 2 times
"Ruler of Nations" - 2 times
"Particular Favor of Heaven" - 2 times
"Divine Author of Life and Felicity" - 2 times
"Author of Nations" - 1 time
"Divine Being" - 1 time
"Allwise Dispenser of Human Blessings" - 1 time
"Supreme giver of all good Gifts" - 1 time
"Sovereign Dispenser of Life and Health" - 1 time
"Source and Benevolent Bestower of all good" - 1 time
"Power which has Sustained American arms" - 1 time
"Allwise Providence" - 1 time
"Infinite Wisdom" - 1 time
"Eye of Omnipotence" - 1 time
"Divine Author of our Blessed Religion" - 1 time
"Omnipotent being" - 1 time
"Great Spirit" - 1 time
"Glorious being" - 1 time
"Supreme being" - 1 time
"Almighty being" - 1 time
"Creator" - 1 time"Jesus Christ" - 0
"Salvation" - 0
"Messiah" - 0
"Savior" - 0
"Redeemer" - 0
"Jehovah" - 0
Along with the actual wordage of Washington's prayers, a number of historians and skeptics point to the fact that Washington did not kneel in prayer. As Bishop White stated:
The father of our country, whenever in this city, as well as during the Revolutionary Was as during his presidency, attended divine service in Christ Church of this city...His behavior was always serious and attentive; but as your letter seems to intend an inquiry on the point of kneeling during the service, I owe it to truth to declare, that I never saw him in the said attitude.While this may seem like a mundane issue -- and I would agree with such an assessment -- a number of historians use this point to illustrate Washington's distrust of pious religion. Though this may be the case, I believe that the larger issue, the fact that Washington DID pray, is of far greater importance.
As was the case with his participation in communion, Washington's prayers are, at best, very contradictory evidence. The fact that he prayed should be obvious to anyone. However, to whom he was praying is in question. Though he was not known to have knelt in prayer, Washington was, in the end, a devout man of prayer.
To be (a Christian) or not to be (a Christian). That is the question.
As noted above, any argument of Washington being a deist is historically inaccurate and, quite frankly, silly. On the other side of the coin, to call Washington a devout orthodox Christian -- and more specifically an Anglican/Episcopal Christian -- is equally impossible to prove with any degree of certainty. For example, Reverend William White, Washington's Anglican/Episcopal pastor, publicly questioned Washington's Christianity when he wrote:
I do not believe that any degree of recollection would bring to my mind any fact which would prove General Washington to have been a believer in the Christian revelation; further than as may be hoped from his constant attendance on Christian worship, in connection with the natural reserve of his character.On the other hand, Washington's adopted daughter, Nelly Custis, had this to say regarding Washington's faith:
I never witnessed his private devotions. I never inquired about them. I should have thought it the greatest heresy to doubt his firm belief in Christianity. His life, his writings, prove that he was a Christian. He was not one of those who act or pray, "that they may be seen of men." He communed with his God in secret.Despite her loyalty to her stepfather, Nelly Custis' account of Washington being a firm believer in Christianity still doesn't explain away the blatant absence of "Christian talk" in Washington's writings. Instead, we are left with a man who stuck to neutral "God talk," which he aparently did on purpose. In fact, just prior to leaving office, several prominent religious leaders attempted to "pin down" Washington once and for all to discover just what his personal creed was. But as Thomas Jefferson pointed out:
Dr. Rush tells me that he had it from Asa Green that when the clergy addressed Genl. Washington on his departure from the govmt, it was observed in their consultation that he had never on any occasion said a word to the public which showed a belief in the Xn [Christian] religion and they thot they should so pen their address as to force him at length to declare publicly whether he was a Christian or not. They did so. However he observed the old fox was too cunning for them. He answered every article of their address particularly except that, which he passed over without notice. Rush observes he never did say a word on the subject in any of his public papers except in his valedictory letter to the Governors of the states when he resigned his commission in the army, wherein he speaks of the benign influence of the Christian religion.Again, this religious paradox of George Washington makes it almost impossible to say conclusively what Washington's feelings towards Christianity actually were.
I know that Gouverneur Morris, who pretended to be in his secrets & believed himself to be so, has often told me that Genl. Washington believed no more of that system than he himself did.
One last thing to consider is the impact of Unitarianism on the religion of our founding generation. Historian Sydney Ahlstrom notes the profound role that unitarian thought had during the American Revolution when he writes:
God's grace and mercy were needed, to be sure; yet with regard to the nature of man and human ability, these liberal ministers showed perhaps a greater measure of confidence than any significant group of churchmen in Reformed tradition. And what buoyed their confidence above all was the exhilaration of national independence, the economic and social advances of the American people, and the great destiny (already manifest) of this New World democracy. The idea prevailed widely that "this new man, this American" was a new Adam, sinless, innocent – mankind's great second chance. Nowhere was it given so well-rooted a Christian interpretation as among these New England liberals, whose ideas on man were far more determinative than the ideas about Godhead which later won them the name "Unitarian."In addition, Ahlstrom makes special mention of the fact that those who refused communion (and there were many during Washington's era) were following in the unitarian spirit of religion:
For the Unitarian…the Lord's Supper was regarded more and more as neither a sacramental 'means of grace' nor a 'converting ordinance,' but as a simple pagan superstition.In conclusion, though the religious paradox of George Washington prevents us from determining his exact beliefs, we are still able to make a few general conclusions:
1.) Washington was not a deist.
2.) It is virtually impossible to classify Washington as a Christian in the orthodox sense. The evidence available suggests otherwise. His lack of participation in communion, coupled with the absence of Christian supplication in prayer and unitarian leanings create more than a reasonable doubt on this matter.
3.) Washington was a man of prayer.
4.) Maybe most importantly, Washington's religion is the quintessential enigma of early American religious history.
So how should we classify Washington? Perhaps it would be smart, based on the body of evidence, to not classify him at all. However, in my opinion, I see Washington as a MODERATE UNITARIAN.

While training aids may have positive effects on workouts, they may also be a hindrance. Learning to use these aids correctly will improve your results.
Don't assume that training aids will "make you do it right." Many training aids make incorrect technique more natural. Before you use a training aid, understand the desired benefit and potential pitfalls. Concentrate intently on the correct movement patterns that you are trying to establish.
Pull buoy: Many triathletes swim a significant amount with a pull buoy, thinking it simulates wetsuit swimming. While this can be effective, it can also encourage incorrect body position.
A pull buoy, positioned between the thighs, lifts the swimmer's hips and legs. A wetsuit will create a body position that is higher in the water, but does not maintain a horizontal position like the pull buoy does. Keeping the upper body low in the water is still critical.
Many swimmers learn to carry their upper body too high while using a pull buoy. Be very careful when using a pull buoy to keep the head, shoulders, and lead arm low in the water to facilitate a naturally high hip and leg position.
Kickboard: Throw your kickboard away! Using a kickboard teaches a distorted body position and reduces the benefit of kick sets. Use kick sets (without a board) to work on core balance in addition to strengthening your kick.
Hand paddles and Web-fingered gloves: These can be useful tools to develop strength, and to develop the feel of attaching the lat muscles to the water and of pulling the body past a relatively stationary arm instead of pulling water backward.
The pitfall is that hand paddles decrease the penalty for dropping the elbows during the catch. A swimmer can use the increased surface area of the paddle by flexing the wrist, instead of keeping the elbows high and using the surface area of the forearm to anchor the arm.
When swimming with paddles, concentrate on a slow, high elbow catch and then accelerate through the pull.
Fist gloves: These gloves have no fingers and are made to slip over the hand while it is balled into a fist. Fist gloves remove surface area and feel from the hands, encouraging a forearm awareness that promotes a high-elbow catch and discourages accelerating too quickly before completion of the catch.
Cadence monitor: Probably the most universally valuable and practical cycling training aid, cadence monitors enable greater precision in workouts designed specifically for high- or low-cadence work.
Many cyclists, even experienced racers, benefit from increasing cadence, and having objective feedback right on the handlebar makes that adjustment easier.
Powercranks: Powercranks, designed for training only, have a built-in clutch. This allows the crank to drive the spindle, but prevents the spindle from driving the crank, forcing the rider to pull up during the upstroke phase of the pedal stroke.
When pedaling with Powercranks, a rider must lift the weight of the right leg, foot, and shoe using muscles in the right leg; the left leg's downstroke cannot accomplish this. Riding with Powercranks is like one-legged pedaling with both legs at the same time, all the time. This is more difficult than it sounds, and even advanced riders often struggle to pedal smoothly at first.
This is an excellent tool to teach riders to unweight the pedal on the upstroke and to develop endurance in the hip-flexor muscles. The pitfall is that overuse of PCs may lead to underdeveloped downstroke muscles. Use Powercranks as a valuable supplement, but do most of your training on regular cranks. I have many athletes use Powercranks as active recovery on easy days.
Computrainer Spinscan: Spinscan provides graphic displays of power output throughout 360 degrees of the pedal stroke. Cyclists can learn to balance power output more evenly between left and right legs, minimize dead spots in their stroke, and create more power at that critical moment when neither leg is engaged in a downstroke. This can be a powerful tool for improving pedal mechanics.
Metronome: A metronome is a small electronic device (about the size of a credit card) that beeps at whatever rhythm it is set to. I have my athletes use this to maintain turnover at optimal levels, especially on long, slow endurance workouts when turnover tends to be slower than desired.
Just as a good cyclist maintains about the same cadence on long endurance rides as on faster rides -- by shifting gears -- efficient runners maintain the same high turnover even on slow, easy runs. Using a metronome, which costs about $30 at your local music store, helps monitor turnover and makes the ideal rhythm more natural and maintainable.
Treadmill: A treadmill can be an excellent training aid, but incorrect use can be detrimental. A treadmill's bed is softer than most outdoor surfaces and gives at footstrike. This may be a benefit, but can also weaken the ankles and cause problems when returning to outdoor running. Be very conservative as you shift from treadmill running to outdoor running.
One of the biggest drawbacks to treadmill use is that the most efficient techniques for running on solid ground and the most efficient techniques for running on a treadmill are significantly different. Over-striding is efficient on a treadmill, but not on solid ground (because the treadmill bed deflects downward at foot-strike instead of the runner displacing upward).
When running on a treadmill, make sure to use exaggeratedly short, quick strides.
Overuse of training aids can lead to faulty mechanics and psychological reliance. Think about your movements while using them and make sure that most of your swimming, cycling, and running is done without training aids. Remember that using training aids will always be a supplement to basic training.

Johannesburg - The SA Jewish Board of Deputies (SAJBD) and the SA
Zionist Federation (SAZF) met Trade and Industry Minister Rob Davies on
Thursday about a government move to re-label Palestinian products.
This was after both groups said Davies had repeatedly
declined to meet with them, and had met only with lobby groups with a
pronounced anti-Israel political agenda.
At the meeting, Davies was asked to reconsider a notice
in the Government Gazette announcing steps which could result in
products manufactured in the occupied Palestinian territories, and sold
in South Africa, labelled to indicate their place of origin.
"... [T]he minister was requested to reconsider the
notice issued... and urged that, instead, he deal with the matter on a
bilateral diplomatic basis with Israel," the SAJBD and the SAZF said in a
joint statement.
"The minister refused on both counts."
The groups said they would challenge "this flawed, tainted and politically biased" process.
"The effect of the action taken by minister Davies is
to portray South Africa as endorsing and furthering the aims of the
anti-Israel boycott campaign..."
At the meeting, the groups also spoke of Davies' failure to meet with Jewish community representatives.
Antisemitism was a word coined by Wilhelm Marr in about 1879, no doubt amongst other things, to "sanitize" the term Jew-hater. It is regrettable that even we, Jews, have accepted and continue to use this objectionable term. Dr Robert Davies, our esteemed Minister of Trade and Industry, has, since last year, treated us Jews in a most impolite manner, by refusing to meet with their various organizations, then in his infinite kindness and mercy, he finally agreed to meet them. The meeting appears to have been handled badly, mainly owing to the herd-like , narrow-minded and biased attitude of Dr Davies. Since I consider anti-Zionism and Antisemitism as being the same thing, maybe the correct word Jew-hater should be used in the context of the refusal to meet the Jewish organizations and then in his refusal to approach the government of Israel and then, of course, there were the cancellations of visits to Israel from which the mayors of certain cities could have benefitted greatly. Maybe Dr Davies needs to be reminded that Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. I know this comment will make no difference to the idiotic policies of this equally moronic government, but at least I've had my say
Adele Michalowsky - a secular and very proud South African Jew
I trust that these ministers (Dr Davies) have disposed of their mobile phone. I certainly hope that they have refused to allow their children to be vaccinated against polio. their wives should avoid lipstick at all costs. If they are sent for an MRI or CAT scan, they... absolutely must decline. Since well over half of the chemotherapy protocols in use today were developed in Israel, try to avoid being diagnosed with cancer (or, if they are, make do with something less than state of the art chemotherapy). Of course, they will have to decline a pacemaker, should the need arise. also they should forget about; myriad, DELL, Google, Intel, IBM, Microsoft, Apple even the equation of E=mc^2.
BTW two sticks and a crayon is your best replacement to Intel, while two tin cans with a string between them is your best replacement to cellphones.

On May 14, 2017 at 3:44 p.m. a 911 call was placed reporting a shooting in the 300 block of Campbells Creek Drive. Metro 911 received word a man had been shot in the leg.
Deputies of the Kanawha County Sheriff's Office responded to the scene. When they arrived they found a father had shot his son during an argument that turned into a struggle over a gun. The shooter, Richard Mollohan (70 years old), and his son, Robert Mollohan (44 years old), of Campbells Creek were both still on scene when Deputies arrived.
According to those present there were two females with the son before his father confronted them about possible drug use. During the argument there was a struggle over a gun Richard Mollohan had in his pocket when he confronted Robert.
Richard was shot about the knee and was taken to an area hospital for treatment. The injury is not believed to be life threatening. No arrests have been made, and the fullness of the investigation will be reviewed by the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney. That office will decide what, if any, criminal charges should be filed.
The evidence and statements are still be reviewed by the Kanawha County Sheriff's Office.

According to an article published by the Washington Examiner, nearly 90,000 illegal aliens identified by Immigration and Customs Enforcement as criminal threats were not processed for deportation in 2015.
Even worse: those individuals who were not deported were eventually released from custody.
While internal ICE figures show that the agency encountered 152,393 illegal aliens identified as criminal threats, many of whom were already in jail, only 64,116 were charged. Meanwhile, the vast majority, nearly 90,000, were not charged.
Advertisement - story continues below
Shockingly, those numbers are even worse for criminal aliens detained under President Barack Obama's Priority Enforcement Program.
Under the Priority Enforcement Program, ICE is designated to work with local law enforcement to arrest and deport criminal aliens. When local police or sheriffs arrest a criminal alien, they are asked to hold that individual for 48 hours, at which point ICE will take the suspect.
TRENDING: Dem Reads Trump's Tweets Out Loud During Hearing, That's When He Hears from Jeff Sessions
The reality of the situation is that ICE only seizes the detained aliens 35-40 percent of the time. Most of the time, local law enforcement receives a phone call from ICE asking them to release the criminal alien at the end of the 48 hour period.
In one such case, Sheriff Richard W. Stanek of Hennepin County in Minneapolis had 75 illegals ICE wanted; yet the agency only picked up 35 percent for detainment and deportation. "And these are the people that they want," said Stanek.
Advertisement - story continues below
Sheriff Susan Benton of Highlands County in Florida had a similar story. "Mine would be much, much lower," said Benton, referring to instances where ICE actually followed through.
In Benton's case, many who actually are seized by ICE are sent to a federal facility in Miami, where they are immediately released; and then they return to her county, making the problem that much worse.
Under the current law, local law enforcement cannot legally hold criminal aliens longer than 48 hours. So when ICE doesn't participate, the alien must be released.
Benton lamented the circumstances and the disproportionate blame law enforcement officers receive, saying, "We're the bad guys, we're the ones CNN is on saying, 'That sheriff let that killer out.'" But the reality seems to be that local law enforcement have their hands tied.
Advertisement - story continues below
Sheriff David J. Mahoney of Dan County in Madison, Wis., described it as follows. "It's kind of a, 'Do me a favor and hold them for 48 hours or more.' When in fact there is no legal standing [for us] to do that. ICE says, 'hold 'em, but we won't defend you if you get sued.'"

Is Pro Membership worth the cost?
I love having pro and would definately buy it if I had to. However, like Kiteman, I get my pro free by posting instructables that get featured. You say you've made several things you found here. Right now, I have a forum thread giving away free pro memberships for "I made it" comments. Check it out and maybe you could try out pro free to help you decide.
Thanks, I actually made one last night.
Best answer is "it depends".
If you want to download instructables to use away from your computer, if you want to dramatically reduce the advertising that clutters the screen, then yes.
Of course, you can get a pro membership for free, just by posting cool instructables that get featured, or by winning a contest.

Premium Travel Experience
At WiFly Nomads, we believe in delivering an exceptional experience. Quality and attention to detail are at the forefront of everything we do. Because we have experience with group travel and the digital nomad life, we know where most other programs fall short on delivering on experience. This means a smooth transition for you, so you can focus on what's most important, earning an income remotely and navigating the lifestyle of working and living around the world.
The Team
Kate Smith, Founder
Canadian born, Kate has always had a sense for adventure and travel, having traveled and lived in over 23 countries.
After getting her University degree in Business, Kate started her career as a project manager at one of the worlds largest advertising agencies, where she worked with brands such as Johnson & Johnson, the Canadian Government, and Clorox. Knowing the 9-5 grind wasn't for her, she transitioned to freelance marketing, to accommodate her nomadic lifestyle.
Her expertise for travel and the digital nomad lifestyle has been showcased in BBC, Fast Company, the Etihad Airways inflight magazine, Mashable, BuzzFeed and CNN Travel.
Having spent a year on Remote Year, Kate understands what works and what doesn't when it comes to group travel as a digital nomad, allowing her to fill the gaps where other programs fall short.
Imran Lalani, Director of Operations
Hey Nomads,
It's Imran here. Born and raised in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia!
Honestly, my story is very similar to most of you reading this. I went to university, worked hard to get a corporate job because I thought that's what people were meant to do. After working in the office for many years I realised I wasn't happy with the direction my life was going and that something needed to change! Fast-track to today, I'm living the digital nomad life and really enjoying the journey with all the adventures that come along the way!
Like all Nomads, I love travelling, so far I've visited over 30 countries, as a nomad and while working my corporate job!
I've been a 9-5 warrior, a freelancer, I've run my own company and also worked for different start-ups… all of which have all been challenging and very rewarding at the same time!
No doubt I've still got lots to learn about EVERYTHING but I'm just really excited for the future! Can't wait to meet more nomads, share some of my stories and most importantly, learn from all of you guys and gals.
My best tip for everyone is to read as many books as you can. I spend at least 1-2 hours everyday reading books... It's probably been the biggest factor to what success I've been able to achieve so far!
Yes this is pretty cheesy but had to add this - my favorite quote is:
"It's better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission." I learnt this from my old boss when I was in my Investments job. It's a philosophy that's really stuck with me and brought a lot of amazing opportunities my way… I highly recommend trying it for yourself ;)

The Trainwreck of Justice League Won't Make DC Hit the Brakes
Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes admitted in a public letter that he had misjudged how hard it would be to revive the teetering 100-year-old publication in the face of the challenge from aggressive online journalism.
But the move also came a year after Hughes's strategic changes, including a greater focus on seeking profits from online advertising rather than survive on benefactors' handouts, spurred an exodus of top writers and editors.
A team of top names in centrist-liberal circles jumped ship, damaging Hughes' efforts to shore up the publication in what was touted as a clash of Silicon Valley and Washington cultures.
But it also came as the New Republic faced stiff competition from innovative online-only upstarts like Vox, Vice and Salon, and other rivals in the political space like Atlantic, Politico and a slew of popular blogs.
"After investing a great deal of time, energy, and over $20 million (roughly Rs. 133 crores), I have come to the conclusion that it is time for new leadership and vision at The New Republic," Hughes said.
He claimed some success, building a younger and more diverse readership on a new digital strategy. "We have made it possible for The New Republic to survive and begin to flourish in its second century," he said.
At the same time, he conceded in the statement, "I underestimated the difficulty of transitioning an old and traditional institution into a digital media company in today's quickly evolving climate."
The statement was published on Medium.com, a social network and publishers for writers.
Hughes said he will be seeking someone else to take over the publication, whether an individual, a larger digital media company, or a think-tank.
"Although I do not have the silver bullet, a new owner should have the vision and commitment to carry on the traditions that make this place unique and give it a new mandate for a new century," he said.

"Day Case surgery Seal Unit"
About: Arrowe Park Hospital Arrowe Park Hospital Wirral CH49 5PE
Posted via NHS Choices
What I liked
I attended the Seal Unit for a day case procedure under a general anaesthetic. I was called into see a nurse then changed into a gown and waited in a comfortable female waiting lounge.
One and a half hours later I went through for the operation. After the operation I was taken to the Day Ward and shortly after allowed to call a relative to collect me. In total I was at the hospital for 4 to 5 hours.
I found the whole experience quick and efficient and the staff were pleasant.
What could be improved
Relatives/friends of patients are asked not to attend Seal, as there is limited space, but drop off the patient then leave. However, many ignored this request and waited with the patient until they were called through by a nurse. Because of this it was crowded. Staff had to keep asking patients/relatives to please give up their seats to patients waiting.

The feds are attempting to forge a link between arsonists and looters in Ferguson and the Islamic State, aka ISIS.
Steve Wigginton, the U.S. Attorney in Southern District of Illinois, says posts on Twitter reveal an effort by ISIS to team up with not only criminals, but anarchists and sovereign citizens.
"We received intelligence reports for law enforcement showing actual tweets ISIS was putting out encouraging Americans to join the people who were burning down buildings in Ferguson to engage that kind of conduct across America," said Wigginton.
"They are trying to reach the people who are anti- government to begin with. We have a number of those individuals in the U.S., whether they are sovereign citizens, whether they are anarchists, they all showed up at one point or another in the St. Louis area in the last few months," he added.
An FBI special agent, Sean Cox, said "homegrown violent extremists" will use the Michael Brown and Eric Garner protests to launch so-called lone wolf attacks.
"We are very concerned by threats posed by homegrown violent extremists from individuals who live in the same community they intend to attack," said Cox.
"These individuals are difficult for us to detect, as they are able to connect with other extremists with relative ease and they are more capable from an operational standpoint because they are familiar with their intended target areas," he said.
Wigginton said ISIS will use its social media prowess to recruit and deploy terrorists.
"It only takes one of them to recruit, one of them to do a bad act, and now you have the lone wolf and the lone wolf is the one we fear the most because we cannot predict when that lone wolf is going to strike."
In November the corporate media reported that ISIS fighters in Syria pledged to send terrorists to Ferguson.
A tweet allegedly posted by British jihadi Junaid Hussain said if Ferguson protesters pledge allegiance to the Islamic State, the terror organization would send fighters to Ferguson.
"We hear you and we will help you if you accept Islam and reject corrupt man-made laws like democracy and pledge your allegiance to Caliph Abu Bakr and then we will shed our blood for you and send our soldiers that don't sleep, whose drink is blood, and their play is carnage," Hussain tweeted.
