History of Hymns: "Wild and Lone the Prophet's Voice"
By C. Michael Hawn
Wild and Lone the Prophet's Voice
by Carl P. Daw, Jr.;
The Faith We Sing, No. 2089
Wild and lone the prophet's voice
echoes through the desert still,
calling us to make a choice,
bidding us to do God's will:
"Turn from sin and be baptized;
cleanse your heart and mind and soul.
Quitting all the sin you prized,
yield your life to God's control.*
*© 1989 Hope Publishing Company, Carol Stream, IL 60188. All rights reserved. Used by permission.
The Advent season comes upon us as an intruder. We want to rush to the manger singing our favorite Christmas carols, but the biblical witness invites us, if we are willing, to listen for a deeper message.
The hymns of Carl P. Daw, Jr. (b. 1944) are immersed in Scripture. In "Wild and Lone the Prophet's Voice," Rev. Daw takes us back to the call for repentance by John the Baptizer. As we sing the opening line – "Wild and lone the prophet's voice" – we join the prophet, half-naked and half-starved, shivering in the desert.
The hymn is inspired by the narratives found in all four gospels and drawing on the prophecy of Isaiah 40:3: "A voice of one calling: 'In the wilderness prepare the way for the LORD; make straight in the desert a highway for our God'" (NIV). We encounter, in the first stanza, a series of imperative verbs that grip the singer: "Turn from sin"; "be baptized"; "cleanse your heart"; "yield your life to God's control." Carl Daw amplified his intent in this stanza in correspondence to this writer (Email: December 2006):
The verbs in stanza one outline the path of a conversion experience, what is called metanoia in the New Testament. Although we usually regard conversion as being painful or punitive, I am very grateful that my seminary dean (Urban T. Holmes III) taught me to think of metanoia as "God's gift of space to turn around in." In many ways that is also a description of Advent, a time when we are given the space to recall the First Coming of Christ at Bethlehem and to anticipate his Second Coming in power, glory, and love.
The remaining stanzas of this hymn may be viewed here. Stanza two is abundant with biblical references, including Galatians 5:22-23 (the "fruits of the Spirit") and Colossians 3:1-2: "Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things" (NIV). The poet then draws on the image of the chaff that, when separated from the wheat, will be burned in an unquenchable fire (Matthew 3:12). This metaphor returns later in Christ's ministry in the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13.
The final stanza sums up the theme of John's preaching: our salvation is near. For many of us who live in a world of relative comfort, these words threaten our way of living. Yet, the author indicates, these should be "words of hope to all who hear." Rev. Daw combines the proclamation of John the Baptist (John 1:29, 36) with images of the triumphant Lamb in the Book of Revelation (5:6-14). The singer joins with John saying, "behold the Lamb of God."
Carl Pickens Daw, Jr. was born in Louisville, Kentucky and now resides in Boston, Massachusetts. He holds a Ph.D. degree in English from the University of Virginia and the M.Div. degree from the University of the South. Dr. Daw was the Executive Director of The Hymn Society in the United States and Canada from 1996-2009. An Episcopal priest, he has served congregations in Virginia, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. He continues as Adjunct Professor of Hymnology and the Curator of the Hymnological Collections at the Boston University School of Theology.
Carl Daw began writing hymns as a consultant member of the Text committee for The Hymnal 1982, the current hymnal of the Episcopal Church. Since that time, Daw is recognized as one of the leading hymn writers in North America, with texts in most denominational and ecumenical hymnals published on this continent. He wrote "Wild and Lone" for an Advent Hymn Contest for the Hymn Society [now The Hymn Society in the United States and Canada] in 1985. Among the honors he has received, Dr. Daw was made a Fellow of the Hymn Society in 2007 and a Fellow of the Royal School of Church Music in 2011.
Composers have set many of his texts to choir music. Hope Publishing Company has issued collections of his hymns: A Year of Grace: Hymns for the Church Year (1990) in which this hymn was first published; To Sing God's Praise (1992), New Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs (1996); Gathered for Worship: Fifty New Psalms and Hymns (2006); Prayer Rising into Song: Fifty New and Revised Hymns (2016). In another project, he collaborated with Kevin R. Hackett in the production of A Hymntune Psalter in two volumes (1998-1999). In 2002, a collection of 25 of his hymns in Japanese was published by the United Church of Christ in Japan.
Hymnary.org notes that more than ninety of Dr. Daw's hymns may be found in current hymnals. A hymnologist of the first rank, he recently completed Glory to God: A Companion (2016), a source that provides the background of the hymns and tunes for Glory to God: The Presbyterian Hymnal (2013), the most recent hymnal of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
C. Michael Hawn is University Distinguished Professor of Church Music and Director of the Doctor of Pastoral Music Program at Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas.

One of the jurors in the high-profile sexual assault case against former Stanford University student Brock Turner said "justice has not been served," writing a critical letter to the judge who sentenced Turner to six months in county jail.
The juror—whose letter was delivered to Judge Aaron Persky on Saturday and published in the Palo Alto Weekly on Monday—is among many who have criticized Persky for what they think was a too-lenient sentence.
Persky sentenced Turner to six months in county jail after the jury found him guilty on three counts of sexual assault. The juror wrote that he was "absolutely shocked and appalled" by the comparatively lenient sentence.
"After the guilty verdict I expected that this case would serve as a very strong deterrent to on-campus assaults, but with the ridiculously lenient sentence that Brock Turner received, I am afraid that it makes a mockery of the whole trial and the ability of the justice system to protect victims of assault and rape," the juror wrote in the letter. "Clearly there are few to no consequences for a rapist even if they are caught in the act of assaulting a defenseless, unconscious person."

The Palo Alto Weekly kept the juror's name anonymous but met with him on Sunday to confirm his identity. The man is the only juror to speak out publicly about the case, but at least 10 prospective jurors in an unrelated case have refused to serve Persky since the sentencing.

Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid
Language: English | Format: PDF | Pages: 29 | Size: 1 MB
Praise be to Allaah and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah.
The Prophet (PBUH) told us that his Ummah (nation) would follow the previous nations, the Jews, Christians and Persians, but this was undoubtedly not praise for their actions, and rather it is by way of condemnation and a warning. It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed (RA) that the Prophet (PBUH) said:
"You will certainly follow the ways of those who came before you, handspan by handspan, cubit by cubit, until even if they entered the hole of a lizard, you will do so too." We asked, "O Messenger of Allaah, (do you mean) the Jews and the Christians?" He said, "Who else?" (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3269; Muslim, 2669).
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (RA) that the Prophet (PBUH) said:
"The Hour will not begin until my Ummah follows in the footsteps of those who came before it, handspan by handspan, cubit by cubit." It was asked, "O Messenger of Allah, like the Persians and Romans?" He said, "Those are the people?" (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6888).
The ignorant among this Ummah, and the innovators and heretics have followed the previous nations, the Jews, Christians and Persians, in their Beliefs, ways, manners and dress. Our concern here is to point out in these days their following and imitation of them through the innovation of "Mother's Day" or "Family Day", which is a day that the Christians innovated to honour mothers, or so they claim. This then Became a day that was venerated, when government departments would be shut and people would get in touch with their mothers or send them gifts and loving messages. But when the day was over, things would go back to the way they were, with people being cut off from their mothers and disobeying them.
What is strange is that the Muslims would feel a need to imitate them in such ways, when Allaah has commanded them to honour their mothers and has forbidden them to disobey them, and has made the reward for that (for obeying them) the highest status.

Program Description
Designed for your needs. Specialisms from A-Z.
Individual Intensive Courses
Individual intensive courses provide the most personal, tailor-made and individually-designed programmes of English language training offered by Accent.
Course Content
The course content on an individual programme is exactly what the course participant wants! The trainers will advise but, in the end, the decision is with the participant. On an ndil.idual programme, you can study both General and also Specialist English. General English can include work on accuracy and fluency in speaking, listening, reading and writing or any one of these. It can focus on communicative ability or it can concentrate on accuracy in understanding or reading English for individual needs. Specialist English can include many different areas of work — all areas of Business, for example, or Professional areas such as Medicine, Law, Advertising, Pharmaceuticals, Engineering, etc. In addition, work on specific skills such as Meetings, Negotiations. Presentations, Telephoning or Report Writing can be trained on individual courses — as part of a wider plan or as a specific focus for a one-week programme.
Course Periods
Individual courses are intensive and hard work. They are intended for short periods of study. The normal course period is two or three weeks. We would not recommend longer than four weeks and usually one week is not quite enough — unless you are a good level and you do an 150 course.
Starting Dates
Individual Intensive Courses begin every Monday of the year except for Christmas.

Accent International's UK Centre
Accent's courses in the UK take place at Bicton College in the beautiful county of Devon in South W est England.
Bicton College was built in the early 18th century and is the former home of Lord Clinton. It stands in a private park of 200 hectares and is reached by a long tree-lined avenue. The building is surrounded by formal gardens, trees, flowers and fields and at the front is a large lake.
It is now a fully-equipped training centre, providing modern technology and facilities for participants travelling to Accent from all over the world.
From the entrance lodge along the only avenue of monkey-puzzle trees in Europe, past the lake and through the trees, you enter the collonaded main door.
As you pass the statue of Lord Clinton and ascend the stairs with their chandelier and stained glass windows you arrive at Accent' s Executive Suite of offices and training rooms.
Accommodation, Lunches and Transport
At Accent we offer three types of accommodation.
Executive Home Stay
We strongly recommend Executive Home Stay. These are the beautiful homes of English professional people. You have a bedroom with private bathroom and have breakfast and evening meal every day and lunch on Sundays. The food and accommodation are both of a very high standard. In addition, you are welcomed into an English home. This means that your total immersion in English is complete because before and after your course you are surrounded by English.
Some participants prefer to stay in a hotel and we understand this. We work with several hotels and can arrange rooms from 1 star to 4 stars.
If you wish to travel with your family, we can provide accommodation in a house, cottage or apartment.
An essential part of Accent's courses is the lunch programme. All participants have lunch with trainers in a selection of pubs/restaurants. This is an important part of the course programme and so is included in the price.
Daily Transport
Every morning and evening all participants are transported by Accent people-carriers between their accommodation and the college.
Social Programme, Travel and Administration
Social Programme
Accent organises a social programme as part of each course. Every week there is an evening activity and every Saturday there is a full-day excursion.
Evening activities can include: Classical Music, Theatre, Jazz, Cinema, Golf, Bowling, Tennis, Fishing, Dinners, Coastal Drives, Barbecues etc.
Saturday Excursions can be Dartmoor National Park, Exeter and Plymouth, King Arthur and Cornwall, The English Riviera, the East Devon World Heritage Coast, Boat Trips, Bath and Wells, Castles and Croquet etc.
The cost of the social programme is included in the price of the course.
Travel to Accent
Exeter airport is becoming more international every year with direct flights from Paris, Amsterdam, Geneva, Dublin, Malaga, Alicante, Faro, Avignon, Nice etc. Many of our course participants connect in Paris or Amsterdam to fly on to Exeter, which is only 20 minutes from Accent. Alternatively, Bristol and London are not far away. Transport from Exeter to your accommodation is free. All other transfers are charged at cost price.
When you book a course at Accent, you must complete an application form and needs analysis. This can be done online from our website or by using the form with this brochure. W e need this information to plan your course and organise your accommodation.

When I was a kid red and yellow were my favorite color combination! It just looks so beautiful to my eyes. That's why I love the DHL colors.
Did you know that the H in DHL, Larry Hillblom, fathered a Filipino daughter?
I watched a docu on his life and mysterious circumstances regarding his death. I became obsessed and found his Filipino heiress/daughter on Instagram where I stalk her (no, you can't find her because her mom remarried and she changed her surname).
Last Spring 2016, this was the T-shirt any hardcore fashionista wanted to have.
For those of us who didn't get a chance to buy the first DHL tee created by Vetements, we have another chance as ten new DHL-branded fashion items will be available for Spring/Summer 2018.
Vetements recently hosted a Paris Fashion Week event at the Parking Europe Garage where the capsule collection—including a T-shirt, hoodie, sweater, pants, cap, polo shirt and socks—were exhibited.
The collection was photographed by Vetements' design head Demna Gvasalia at 50 locations around Zürich and installed on two meter high metal plates.
"This collaboration with Vetements and the broader range of DHL items in their capsule collection is a great privilege for us and a real endorsement of DHL as one of the most recognized and valuable global brands. The Vetements designs emphasize perfectly DHL's role in enabling global fashion and e-commerce with our logistics services. At the same time they also show our commitment to the fashion industry and that we are always in tune with the times," said Ken Allen, CEO DHL Express.
Global fashion icons? DHL Express CEO, Ken Allen, tried out the Vetements t-shirt. Who wore it best? #DHLVetements pic.twitter.com/j1Gl8rdDaC
— DHL Africa (@DHLAfrica) March 17, 2016
The continued collaboration with Vetements is in line with DHL's fashion partnership strategy, which sees the company working with the most relevant organizations in fashion globally and locally.
This allows DHL to support the fashion industry in a meaningful way, leveraging its portfolio of end-to-end logistics solutions for fashion, retail and e-commerce. It demonstrates the role DHL plays as one of the most valuable global brands and one of the largest "outfitters" in the world as the company provides Corporate Wear to some 200,000 employees globally.
True to the motto: Red and yellow will never go out of fashion.

Ever think that you will never find a rare retired bead for your collection? Be patient because you may find that Trollbeads will bring new designs into the collection that are even better! And more affordable.
Case in point, the new Moroccan Cushion has the 'flavor' of the wonderful old Pueblo, retired in 2002. But wait, there is more! Soren Nielsen,designer of the Moroccan Cushion was also the designer of the recently retired Triangles (1991-2010).

Last year saw the introduction of new legislation banning smoking indoors across NSW's 3,700 licensed venues. The legislation allows smoking in areas which are 25 per cent open to the elements (known as the "75/25" open air provision), whilst smoke needs to be allowed to be blown away.
Venue operators have been putting significant effort and expense into improving their gardens and outdoor areas to accommodate the smokers.
One relatively inexpensive product used by some of these venue operators to assist compliance with the 75/25 rules, is the Mobile Trackless Trellis Barrier, available from the Australian Trellis Door Company™.
The open-style nature of these expanding steel barriers allows smoke to blow away. They are mobile, operate on a series of trolleys and castors, so that they can be used for the erection of temporary enclosures, wheeled away when not in use and stored out of sight. This system is available up to a height of 2,500mm, is very economical and provides enormous flexibility, allowing the closing off of make-shift and awkward openings which may be typically very difficult to enclose.
The systems are secured on each end by a slam-lock facility which locks the barrier to a side fixing point. Shoot bolts drop intermittently into the floor helping to stabilize the system from sideways movement, especially on uneven areas. If no suitable side-fixing point exists then one could use ATDC's removable lockable posts, which lock down onto a laser cut stainless steel plate positioned on the floor, creating the required fixing point.
For further information please contact The Australian Trellis Door Company™ Pty Ltd on (02) 9519 0844.

Rep. Peter King (R-NY) expressed strong suspicions on Friday that National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden may be in cahoots with the Chinese government.
The New York Republican pointed to Snowden's Chinese language studies and the fact that he fled to Hong Kong as potential red flags.
"There's a lot of reason for suspicion," King said during an appearance on MSNBC. "First of all, the fact that he transferred money to China. The fact that he studied Chinese. The fact that his girlfriend had some connections to China. The fact that, of all countries in the world, he went to China and he arranged to have the papers, or his documents, released on the same weekend that President Obama was meeting with the president of China. And why he's still in China, what is Chinese intelligence doing with all this. Listen, there's no definitive proof yet but it's something that has to be investigated fully. And my belief is that it is being fully investigated."
King has issued several forceful responses after details of the NSA's sweeping surveillance programs came to light. On Wednesday, the longtime congressman called for legal action to be brought against The Guardian's Glenn Greenwald, who broke the stories on the programs.

There's hardly a more iconic place to view the breathtaking Japanese cherry trees (called 'sakura') in bloom than the Asakusa district of Tokyo. See brilliant displays of springtime blossoms in their full splendor along the riverbanks of the Sumida River, where you'll stroll with a local guide in the morning. Cross Azuma-bashi (Azuma Bridge) to the Japanese garden at Ushijima Shrine, one of the most popular spots to see the trees. Conclude at Asakusa Temple on this 2-hour walking tour that is not to be missed! Numbers are limited to 15 people, ensuring an intimate experience with a small group.Please note: This tour is seasonal and runs yearly for approximately one week in March and April. The date is subject to change.
Start your cherry blossom tour in Asakusa and follow your friendly local guide on foot across Azuma-bashi, a bridge that was rebuilt in 1931 to replace the original 18th-century construction. Crossing over the Sumida River, you'll be awed by the rows of Japanese cherry trees (or sakura) that bloom along its banks each spring.Take in the magnificent sight of these breathtaking blossoms awash with delicate pink and white petals. You'll have photographic views of Tokyo skyscrapers en route to the opposite bank. Continue on until you reach Ushijima Shrine, located in Sumida Park. With more than 1,000 years of history, the shrine's Japanese garden remains a favorite among the locals for its springtime showcase.Next, take your small-group stroll along the riverbank where 1,000 sakura burst in a vivid display. In addition to the more typical somei yoshino — think tiny white and pale-pink petals — you'll find different varieties that bloom with larger flowers and in darker hues of pink. Your last stop is Asakusa Kannon Temple (also known as Senso-ji), one of Tokyo's oldest and most significant temples that receives 30 million visitors a year. After exploring the grounds with your guide, you'll conclude your walking tour at the Asakusa Kannon Temple. From there, you can continue on your own to explore the colorful Tokyo district.

In Response To: Terrance, I'm confussed! (Pete Egeler)
Whussup Pete
Well in order to answer you let me give you my history on how I started.
I worked at my job from 1996-1999.
In 1997 I started selling personalized candy bars as a hobby...and then over the year developed it into a nice part time business while I was at work...I sold my products to my coworkers in my cubicle....
to get myself started.....so I begin to make $200 per week ....not really enough to quit my job ...but it was great part time money because I didnt advertise.
I just sold to friends and coworkers in my building.
In 1998...I then started selling in my local area ( trade shows, hospitals, weddings, churches and etc) ...also created a website where I sold the 1/2 pound candy bars on the Yahoo shopping network.
I was still working at time ...so I mostly did this during the weekends.....
In 1999 I created my first baby newspaper and begin to sell other products to from my cubical and other area.s
So...that added to my profits....
I then decided that it was time to do this full time.....
In August of 1999 is when I quit my job to work on it full time. So from 1999 to the present is basically what I have been doing on the sales page.
However, I also sell many other products on the internet such as books and videos as you can see....
I went over my sale letter again....I didn't misslead anything...that is exactly how things happened. I just never gave a timeline as I'm showing you right now ...
.also you are correct..on one thing though...
there might be a few spelling errors on the site.
No matter how many times I go through it...someone always finds them
and to think...I was my school spelling bee champ back in middle school....
This is how I make MONEY Selling Books and Videos on Ebay

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace.
NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!"

Manurewa South School were in need of new Junior playground and looking to pack as much varied play activity into the existing space as possible. With a few tweaks, we were able to fit one of our more popular junior school designs into the existing play area and add a circuit of slightly more challenging events to the side of this structure extend the junior kids a little further. The design is colourful and offers a range of different play experience suitable for keep the energetic junior age group moving while allowing plenty of scope for social and imaginative play.
We installed one of our highly regarded triple circuit senior playgrounds at Manurewa South School back in 2002. Just as we would expect with our equipment, this playground had clearly been well used over the past 17 years. The School was pleasantly surprised to learn that due our generous warranties – 25 years on H5 Timber posts and fabricated steel, this playground still has plenty years of use left. We were able to cost effectively upgrade this structure, breathing new life into it with some of our newer events including our unique Steel Mesh Rock Wall and the dynamic Rock'n'Roll ladder.
"Throughout the process the company kept us in the loop at all stages. Any communication was responded to immediately and this made it easier with the project being completed without any hassles. We have been thoroughly impressed with Blair and the Playground People Ltd and all dealings with their services. We would be happy to recommend Blair and Playground People Ltd as a preferred company to work with when designing, developing or revamping school play equipment." - Assistant Principal Jackie Yates

The Minnesota Supreme Court blew open the courthouse doors to whistleblowers on Aug. 9 by removing the requirement that the putative whistleblower act with the purpose of "exposing an illegality."
Whistleblowers are now held to a good faith standard under the Minnesota Whistleblower Act.
It means that employees such as James Friedlander who spoke to employers about violations of law may maintain a whistleblower lawsuit in situations where the employers were already aware that the disputed conduct was occurring.
"After many years in which whistleblowers were denied their day in court we have clear direction from our Supreme Court that will protect whistleblower's rights," said plaintiff's attorney Clayton Halunen.
"Employers will now be held accountable for illegal conduct and not be able to rely on technicalities to escape liability."
David Pearson, attorney for the defendant, said only that his client was disappointed with the decision.
The result was not a complete surprise, said employment attorney Jeremy Robb. "You can see in the court's decision that they felt constrained by the Legislature."
Good faith
The court ruled in response to a certified question from the U.S. District Court of Minnesota: "Did the 2013 amendment to the Minnesota Whistleblower Act defining the term 'good faith' to mean 'conduct that does not violate section 181.932, subdivision 3' eliminate the judicially created requirement that the putative whistleblower act with the purpose of 'exposing an illegality?' "
Yes, the court said in Friedlander v. Edwards Lifesciences, LLC, et al.
Since its enactment, the whistleblower act has prohibited an employer from discharging an employee who "in good faith" reports a violation of federal or state law. In Obst v. Microtron, the court held that good faith requires a putative whistleblower to act with the purpose of exposing an illegality. It followed that opinion in Kidwell v. Sybaritic in 2010.
In a January, 2017 article in Bench and Bar, attorney Stephen Premo, one of the plaintiff's attorneys, wrote, "In practice, the expose-an-illegality rule created a significant gap in the law's protections. Employees who reported actual, planned, or suspected violations of law with the purpose of investigating, opposing or even stopping unlawful activity of which the employer was already aware were largely unprotected under courts' definition of good faith. This reading of the statute turned the statute on its head, permitting the most culpable employers—those complicit in, and perpetuating, unlawful activity—to terminate the most courageous employees with impunity. Such an application of the Whistleblower Act could potentially chill further opposition within the corporate structure and help facilitate continued unlawful activity."
The Legislature amended the statute in 2013 to define good faith as reports that that are not knowingly false or made in reckless disregard of the truth of the matter asserted. The parties disagreed about the effect of the amendment, and the court adopted Friedlander's position — that the amendment abrogates the prior case law, leaving only the statutory definition of good faith.
Content, not motives
Friedlander sued his former employers for a retaliatory discharge after he was fired after speaking about breaching customers' contracts.
Friedlander became aware that his employer allegedly was failing to offer price concessions to customers in violation of their contracts. Friedlander discussed this with management, who were already aware of it. He was then fired.
The defendants argued that he did not make his report in good faith, under the law, because he did not report new information to expose an illegality.
U.S. District Court Judge Susan Nelson certified the question of the definition of good faith to the Supreme Court.
The court said in Friedlander that when it defined good faith it filled a gap in the statute, but after the Legislature provided its own definition, the court was obliged to adhere to the plain language of the definition and give effect to all parts of the amended act.
The statutory definition moves the meaning of good faith away from the motives behind the report to only the content of the report, the court said.
"Any other conclusion would, in effect, render the 'good faith' definition section of the 2013 amendment superfluous, and run afoul of our presumption that the Legislature intends to change the law when it amends a statute," the court said, in an opinion written by Chief Justice Gildea.
Employers have to be nimble
Employers can expect an uptick in MWA claims, Robb said, adding that Minnesota now has one of the most plaintiff-friendly whistleblower statues in the country.
Employers who are currently involved in whistleblower claims should consult their attorneys immediately to determine if they should change their litigation strategy, he said. "Employers have to be nimble."
His suggestions for employers are: Take employees' reports seriously by thoroughly investigating their reports; ensure that employees who make reports are not subject to retaliation; and when faced with the possible discipline of a whistleblower, engage outside counsel.
If they don't have policies in place, said Robb, managers should be establishing plans or mechanisms that allow them to effectively evaluate an internal report. Those plans should make sure that the claims are investigated and the employee is given feedback.
Such a plan guides the actions after a report is made and also helps establish and demonstrate an employers' good faith, Robb said.
It may be a good idea to have an investigation conducted by a third party depending on the circumstances, he said.
To mitigate the potential retaliation claims, Robb continued, every employer should have an anti-retaliation provision in a written policy or a handbook.
Timing is important if it is necessary to discipline a whistleblower, he continued.
"Courts are more willing to assume retaliation if the adverse action occurs quickly. After about two months the presumption of retaliation starts to diminish," Robb said.

Ahly sign Ethiopian striker Saladin Said on a free transfer as his contract with Wadi Degla expires in the summer.
Ahly have completed the signing of Ethiopian striker Saladin Said on a free transfer, the Cairo giants announced on Saturday.
The 25-year-old lanky frontman joins the Red Devils on a five-year deal as his contract with Wadi Degla expires in the summer, the club said in a brief statement on their official website.
"Said has successfully passed the medical before penning a five-year contract," Ahly added.
Ahly are seeking to bolster their attacking options, given the chronic injuries of forgotten striker Emad Meteb and the failure of Ahmed Raouf to impress since joining the club last January from ENPPI.
Said is likely to partner the promising Amr Gamal, who proved to be Ahly's most reliable frontman this season.
Said has scored 12 goals in 20 appearances with Ethiopia since making his international debut in 2005.
He started his career at Saint George in Ethiopia before moving to Wadi Degla in 2011. He also had a loan spell with Belgian side Lierse last year.

February 22, 2016
How do a Philadelphia-based record label and concert promotion company grow from hosting house parties to supporting internationally recognized acts like Santigold and Diplo and selling out venues like TLA and the Fillmore in just a few years?
Actual Records, which has done just that, did it all by combining the DIY ethic of punk music with the sky-high energy of the electronic dance music movement.
Founded by Philly-based DJ and organizer Aaron Ruxbin in 2006, Actual Records is an independent record label that doubles as one of the liveliest concert promoters on the city's bubbling EDM scene. The name Actual Records isn't a metaphor or ironic statement. The label has dedicated a significant amount of energy and resources releasing actual vinyl records for DJs, collectors and music aficionados who have an appreciation for this beloved media format.
But Actual Records is no nostalgic endeavor. The vinyl that they release is packed with cutting edge dance music and remixes from Actual's deep crew of DJs, producers and MCs including Architekt, Shane Sixteen, Buddy Leezle and Ruxbin himself. In fact, much of the power behind the Actual Records movement centers around their riotous, high-energy dance parties. (A quick Youtube search of the group's parties, like the rowdy, quasi-psychedelic "Twurkaholics," will give you a glimpse into their colorful and gloriously silly, bass-heavy world.)
It all started with Ruxbin making home recordings of his bands and the local punk scene with a constellation of limited-run, self-produced and released records, tapes and CDs.
"When I was 16, I quit marching and concert bands and formed my first 'real' band called Nonetheless," he said. "We were a punk/ska band. Our drummer, Corey, had this ADAT tape [recording] machine where we could dump 4-tracks onto a cassette and I became enthralled with that. A few years later, I figured that was my real calling, making the 'actual records.'"
Initially Ruxbin used the Actual Records banner to release a slew of eclectic releases, like that of his former grindcore outfit No Thanks. But as DJ-ing and electronic music became more central to Ruxbin's creative output in the early to mid-2000s, Actual began to develop its own identity. It was during this time that the Philly party scene began a fertile incubation period, when seemingly unrelated genres such as hip-hop, house, club music were colliding at underground parties hosted in warehouses and halls throughout the city. Diplo (aka Temple alum Wesley Pentz) and DJ Low Budget's legendary Hollertronix parties and the Mad Decent label, which grew out of that movement, remain a big influence on Actual Records.
"Something weird happened in the Philly scene, this coalescing of all these different sounds," Ruxbin said. "It all happened around Wes and Low Budget. These two weirdo dudes were throwing parties and releasing mixtapes that were these ultra hybrids of all these different sounds."
After years of grinding it out in Philly's underground party scene, hosting countless house parties, warehouse jams and club gigs, Actual Records saw its profile elevated. Since then they've partnered with EDM giants such as the Mad Decent Block Party and Bass Nation as well as selling out some of the city's larger venues.
Looking toward the future of their company, the movement that it has spawned and the Philly scene in general, Ruxbin is determined and optimistic.
"It's weird man, the label changes as our needs do. We have a slew of new physical releases coming out starting with Buddy Leezle and Architekt's 'Dwellers on The Threshold' which is a David Lynch/Twin Peaks-themed hip-hop project that will probably redefine how a lot of people look at the label," he said. "We have started some new brands and projects that will help shape what we do with EDM and the bigger room stuff and differentiate that from the 'actual records' that we release, but the two will always be tied together, because if we're promoting something or someone's coming to our town, we want it to be a pure promotion of real releases.
"For me, it will always be about those physical items first, those real records. Philly is really on the upswing right now, from the skyline to the food, to the arts and music culture and we've got some really solid releases lined up and no shortage of opportunities to push our musical agenda on our audience."

See This Coastal Condo's Amazing Makeover
Dining Room Before
We found a condo in Rosemary Beach®, an oceanfront community along Florida's Gulf Coast, that was ripe for a revamp. It's perched above a prominent corner of the town center and is just a quick walk to the beach, but the dark kitchen, anemic drywall, and disconnected great room weren't exactly attracting renters in droves. So we teamed up with local contractor Thomas Gallion (whose projects range from small renovations to oceanfront estates), the Rosemary Beach Cottage Rental Company, Stanley Furniture, Wayfair, and other generous providers to transform the 1,200-square-foot space.
Dining Room After
Get the Look of the Dining Nook's Makeover: In the dining nook, the wicker armchairs, jute rug, and linen draperies (and rods) are from Wayfair. The étagère is by Stanley Furniture. The art is from Wendover Art Group.
Here are our style director's seven secrets for turning a plain Jane condo into a character-rich rental.
Kitchen Before
Kitchen After
1. Behold the Light Kitchen Makeover
Yes, there is such a thing! Gallion and Beatty didn't have to gut this small, eat-in kitchen to give it serious style cred. Instead of replacing the plain brown cabinetry, they painted it (Natural Choice by Sherwin-Williams) and swapped out the original brushed-nickel hardware for a more sophisticated antique brass. (The new pendant lighting has the same finish.) The team replaced the speckled granite countertops with sleek white quartz, and added a marble tile backsplash "to help better reflect natural light around the kitchen," notes Beatty.
Get the Look: The countertops are by Cambria. The brass globe pendants are from Circa Lighting, and the cabinet hardware is by Emtek. The dishes are from HomeGoods.
Quick Style Fix: Add a patterned-tile backsplash to the small area above the stove—minor expense, big impact.
Living Room Before
Living Room After
2. Display Cool Collections
Objets d'art and othercuriosities deliver personality in spades. For example, Beatty outfitted the living room console with a collection of sculptural white ceramics. "Uniformity, whether in color or material, form or texture, helps turn lots of little objects into a great focal point," she notes. The funky vases below and stacks of books on the coffee table (above) are also loosely grouped by color family. "I like to choose a shade from nearby art or fabrics and use it as the spark for a collection," adds Beatty.
Get the Look: The grasscloth wallcovering is by Thibaut. The console is by Stanley Furniture.
Living Room Before
Living Room After
3. Channel Beach Cabana Mojo
The natural grasscloth walls call to mind a sandy setting reminiscent of an oceanfront lounge. "We really needed to make this room more conversational and bright," says Beatty. So in addition to adding texture to the walls, she replaced the upholstered furniture with a white slipcovered sofa and pair of swivel club chairs positioned to catch the sea breeze. Then she layered on the color with a rainbow assortment of pillows and a striped cotton rug. "That final layer is what makes the room come alive," she says.
Get the Look: The sofa, swivel glider chairs, and woven side table are from Wayfair.
Quick Style Fix: Frame multiple windows and glass doors with the same simple linen draperies.
Living Space After
Master Bedroom Before

4. Decorate for Beach Sleep
Is there a better kind? Before, the master bedroom was at odds with the feel-good nature of its breezy setting, so the team repainted it a dreamy light gray and replaced the black furniture with lighter, softer pieces: sandy-hued nightstands and an upholstered linen bed, which "brings a much-needed layer of softness to the room," says Beatty. Teal table lamps, sea green pillows, and turquoise wall details bring in the vivid greens and blues of the nearby Gulf of Mexico.
Get the Look: The bed and nightstands are by Stanley Furniture. The Euro sham fabric is by Quadrille, and the bolster fabric is by Raoul Textiles. The lamps are by Safavieh, and the pendant and rug are from Wayfair.
Quick Style Fix: Wake up neutral walls with inexpensive brackets and a bright, monochromatic collection.
Bunk Room Before
Bunk Room After
5. Turn a Weak Spot Into a Win
At just seven feet long by six feet wide, the bunk room is a squeeze. "I love the tucked-in, escape quality of cozy bunks—and you always need the extra beds!" Beatty says. So she and Gallion replaced the austere wooden bunk beds (which stopped short of the walls) with custom millwork fit to the space's dimensions. They added wallpaper in a teal lotus pattern, and painted and lacquered the bunks and trim to match. "The metallic painted ladder makes it more fun," says Beatty. "It adds a bit of shine to the room."
Get the Look: The bunks and trim are painted Composed by Sherwin-Williams. The wallpaper is by Galbraith & Paul.
Guest Bedroom Before
Guest Bedroom After
6. Find Great Art
"Beautiful art is a game-changer for condos," says Beatty, who hung a mix of abstract paintings and sculptural pieces throughout the rental, including in this minty guest room. In addition to shopping for unique local art, she suggests checking out reputable online sources for high-quality prints. Choose two or three colors as your guide (in this condo, pink, blue, and green are her palette guides) and look for pieces that convey a sense of individuality and place.
Get the Look: The bed and lamps are from Wayfair; the pendant is from Lowe's and spray-painted white. The print is from Wendover Art Group.
Balcony Before
Balcony After
7. Don't Skimp on Salt Air
Outside trumps indoors along the coast, so make sure balconies and patios are outfitted for everyday use. (Warm sea breezes and the rumble of the surf come standard.) Even on this relatively small, triangular terrace, beatty was able to carve out two separate seating areas—one for dining, and one with deep-seating chairs for reading, visiting, and cocktails. "But don't forget to add color," says Beatty, who mixed in turquoise dining chairs and solid sunbrella pillows. "Balconies and patios need to be as inviting and vibrant as indoor rooms."
Get the Look: The wicker and teak furniture is by Lloyd Flanders.

* Hospital Sisters Health System (HSHS) constantly works to enhance the quality of care we provide to our patients while also working to reduce costs and deliver efficient care.
If you are a participant in a Cigna commercial health plan, you may have recently been contacted by Cigna or your medical provider about ongoing contract negotiations between your health care provider and Cigna.
Since spring of 2019, Hospital Sisters Health System (HSHS) has been working with Cigna in good faith to negotiate an agreement that would ensure continued care of those in our community and provide reimbursement that fairly covers the health care provider's cost of delivering high quality care. Unfortunately, an agreement has not yet been reached.
If a contract is not reached by March 31, 2020, this means that HSHS St. Anthony's, along with any affiliated HSHS Medical Group providers, will be considered out-of-network for health services* you receive on or after this date.
We encourage you to contact your employer's benefits department to discuss plan options that will allow you to have in-network access to your local hospital. You are also encouraged to contact Cigna directly using the phone number listed on the back of your insurance card to identify medical providers and facilities in your area who accept Cigna.
We remain hopeful that an agreement will be reached in the near future.
