last night was the premiere of my work in progress "Ungrateful Daughter" at Off-Market Theatre in SF! Man —- after not performing for 4 years.. i think it all came out last night. I feel SO good and so much of what needed to be put out there … was put out there. I didnt miss ANY of my lines and it was GREAT!!
The piece is a piece I've been working on for the past 8 weeks and last nights show was only the first 15 minutes. It touches on the painful and joyful aspects of being transracially adopted. I hope to get some reviews of the piece up soon.
I'm planning on producing the show again soon. But in the East Bay. At some point I hope to travel with the piece and take it to a few places around the country. I hope you all can come!!

August 30, 2001More trouble in tech-land this morning. Yesterday, after the market closed, Sun Microsystems warned that the, y will not be making a money this quarter. Weak demand for servers and the slowdown in Europe are spelling trouble. In fact, European Central Bank may finally be ready to admit that things are slowing down. The ECB cut interest rates a quarter of a percent about a half hour ago. Speaking of Europe, just when Microsoft looked to be out of the regulatory woods, the European Commission --- remember them from the breakup of the GE / Honeywell deal? The European Commission is expanding their investigation of possibly anti-competitive business practices by Microsoft. That news is not likely to help Microsoft stock today.
July Personal Income and Consumption numbers coming out in 10 minutes, but unless we get a big surprise, it looks like another lower opening this morning.
Adjusted for fair value, S&P futures are flat, Dow futures up a few but the Nasdaq futures are 12 points below fair value.
August 29, 2001They say that no news is good news. For the stock market yesterday, very little news made for a mess. The market was mixed until the Consumer Confidence number was released at 10 o'clock. Consumers are evidently not as confident about the current economy, but their confidence i, s rising about the future. Now on the sur>
Today's big news? Again, it's more of a "what happened" number rather than a "what's coming" number. The revised 2nd quarter Gross Domestic Product number is expected to show zero growth for the second quarter. That number will be released in 10 minutes and may well set the tone for the rest of the day.
Gateway announced details of their restructuring. 5,000 folks, or 25% of Gateway's workforce will be looking for work somewhere else.
Adjusted for fair value, futures are lower at this hour, S&P futures down 2, Dow futures are down 13 and Nasdaq futures 8 points below fair value.
August 28, 2, 001The market hovered modestly higher all day yesterday until the last half hour of trading, then sold off a little, but all and all, it wasn't a bad day after the big run-up on Friday. Yesterday was the fourth lightest trading day of the year on the New York Stock Exchange.
Only one economic indicator coming today. At 10 o'clock the reading on Consumer Confidence is expected to tick up slightly from last month.
After the bell yesterday office furniture maker Herman Miller warned that their current quarter is heading for the circular file. Less spending by businesses and heck, less businesses out there buying furniture, Herman Miller now expects earnings for the quarter of 2 to 7 cents. Analysts were expecting 21 cents. Herman Miller stock off over 13% last night after that announcement.
Sun Microsystems downgraded by a major brokerage house this morning. Asia off a little, Europe flat this morning. That futures have barely moved all morning but are pointing toward a mixed opening. Adjusted for fair value, S&P futures down 1, Dow futures are up 6 and Nasdaq , futures 8 points below fair value.
August 27, 2001Friday's gains were the biggest in six weeks. The Dow shot up 2% and the Nasdaq was up over 4%. Is this the start of something big? Well, don't bet the farm. Summer Fridays are always a little suspect, because of light trading volume. And according to Connecticut Research firm Birinyi and Associates, over the past 10 years there have been 23 weeks with trading patterns similar to last week's. The most likely result for the following Monday? 61% of the time, the Monday market finished only slightly positive, with less than a half-percent gain.
The message in Friday's rally? It was triggered when Cisco Systems said it saw signs that business was "stabilizing." Imagine what the market will do when two or three big companies actually see business "improving."
More job cuts in the news. Toshiba and Hitachi reportedly set to let 40,000 workers go. JP Morgan Chase will have a third round of layoffs and Manpower says that 4th quarter hiring in the U.S. will be the weakest since the last recession ten years ago.
Asia and Europe up about 1%. Futures have been slipping most of the morning, but are still positive. Adjusted for fair value, S&P futures are up 1, Dow futures are up 25. Nasdaq futures are 2 po, ints above fair value.
August 24, 2001After the market closed Cisco Systems announced that while they can't predict the future - which is interesting because a year and a half ago everybody thought they could - Cisco said that orders during the first few weeks of the current quarter were in line with projections. And then they muttered the four magic words - "our business is stabilizing." Look for those words at a business near you during the next few months. Cisco is up about 80 cents in premarket trading.
Kmart reported a loss of 4 cents yesterday. That was in line with estimates, but same store sales were only up about 1%. So, the stores sure look a lot better, but the earnings turnaround everybody's been waiting for is could still be a little ways off.
At 8:30 we get the July Durable Goods report, New Home Sales at 10 o'clock. But outside of that, a lot of traders may head for the beach a little early today.
Japan was up a little overnight, Europe is in rally mode. W, e , should rally at the open on the Cisco announcement. Adjusted for fair value, S&P futures are up 5 1/2, Dow futures are up 47 and Nasdaq futures are 28 points above fair value.
August 23, 2001This is one of my favorite days of the quarter. We get earnings reports from Krispy Crème AND the World Wrestling Federation. No real connection there. It's just fun to talk about companies where what you see is what you get. Krispy Crème, which contains some natural ingredients (unlike the World Wrestling Federation) once again beat expectations, making ten cents per share, versus a 9 cent estimate. They say that they will continue to expand in 2002, opening 40 new stores, with projected profits of 42 cents per share.
If you own a Gateway computer, the computer may still work, but if you own a Gateway bond, it's now junk. Standard and Poors has downgraded Gateway's debt to junk status.
Yesterday was a day for the semiconductor stocks. On news of that improved book to bill ratio, semiconductor stocks shot up over 3 and a quarter percent yesterday. Overall we tacked a hundred points on the Dow and a perc, ent and a half on the Nasdaq. But, you know the market this year - if we're up one day - well, you know the rest of the story.
Japan was down overnight, Europe is mixed. Adjusted for fair value S&P, Dow and Nasdaq futures are all solidly under fair value. It looks like a weaker open for the market at 9:30.
August 22, 2001The Fed said that the slowdown's not dead. The market saw red. As expected, the Fed cut short-term interest rates a quarter percent yesterday, but investors keyed on what the Fed said. In a statement that was virtually identical to their June statement, they said that economy is NOT yet showing great signs of strength, and the door is still open to further rate cuts.
As we mentioned yesterday, General Motors stock has taken a beating since Ford Motor warned about earnings for the rest of the year. Well last night, after the market closed, GM said - hey - enough is enough - we're not Ford, our third quarter earnings will come in better than expected - so get off our case. Not surprisingly,, GM traded up over a buck in the after-hours trading last night.
A glimmer of hope for semiconductor stocks - the July book to bill ratio is reported at .67. That's up from .54 in June. So, chip-makers are still getting less in orders than they are shipping out, but the ratio is getting better.
Don't look now - but the Nasdaq is in another bear market. Last night's close left it down over 20% in the last three months, but it looks like all the major averages will get off the mat at 9:30 this morning. Adjusted for fair value S&P futures are up a point 5 1/2, the Dow futures are up 48, and the Nasdaq futures are about 18 points above fair value.
August 21, 2001The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained nearly 80 points yesterday, on a day that saw Dow component General Motors lose about 3 and a half bucks. That GM loss is worth about 20 points on the Dow, so overall, a pretty good day.
Since the market closed yesterday, two big earnings reports: Agilent Technologies lost less money than expected last quarter, but warned that the rest of the year won't be as good as expected, they're c, utting 4,000 jobs. Staples met expectations, but said they aren't seeing a lot of near term upside and as a result, they're cutting back expansion plans.
Don't expect anything dramatic in front of the Federal Reserve announcement at 2:15 this afternoon. Absolutely everyone this side of the international space station is expecting a quarter-point reduction in interest rates. So, the most important part of the Fed announcement won't be the cut, it will be what the statement regarding what the Fed expects the future to hold.
Looks like we're going to drift a bit ahead of that announcement. Adjusted for fair value S&P futures are up a point, the Dow futures are up 16, and the Nasdaq futures are about 3 points below fair value.
August 20, 2001We had a bunch of encouraging economic news last week. But a depreciating dollar, the earning warning from Dell Computer and all the news from Ford Motor were just too much to overcome. One brokerage firm this morning is questioning how long Ford can maintain its current dividend - keep an eye on that one.It's Alan Greenspan front and center tomorrow. We should get another ¼ percent cut in short term interest rates. But, just as is the case with corporate earnings reports, market reaction may focus less on what the Fed does, and more on what it , says about the future. That announcement comes at 2:15 tomorrow afternoon.
Lowe's beat estimates by a penny this morning. They made 42 cents for the 2nd quarter, versus 36 cents last year. Yes, there are some businesses that ARE making more money than they did last year.
Japan's losing streak hit four overnight, the Nikkei was of over 1 ½ percent. Europe also down this hour. Our futures started to rally at about 6:30 this morning. Adjusted for fair value S&P futures are down just a smidgen, but the Nasdaq futures are about 2 points above fair value.
August 17, 2001If you are a salaried employee at the Ford Motor Company, you may not have to wait until Christmas to get your next "package." Ford will cut up to 5,000 white collar jobs through a "Voluntary Separation Program." Ford also says it now sees 2001 earnings at 70 cents per share. The consensus estimate was $1.20. Over and above that 50 cent shortfall, they will take another 50 cents in charges by year end in connection with that early retirement program.
Analog Devices met estimates this morning, but said they will be cutting jobs by year, end. Boeing also announced 600 job cuts this morning.
Hewlett Packard beat estimates, and said that things may be getting better. Dell Computer, on the other hand, met estimates, but warned about the rest of the year. So far this morning, the market looks to believe Dell more than HP. Adjusted for fair value, the futures aren't as bad as they look at first glance, but they're still not a pretty picture. S&P futures are down 7 1/2, Dow futures are down 42, and the Nasdaq futures are about 25 points below fair value.
August 16, 2001In fifteen minutes, the government will release two bits of economic information that may come to the aid of a pretty listless stock market. The July Housing Starts are thought to have declined very slightly from the June level. Housing demand has held up very well through the downtown of the past 18 months, so that number is an important one.
And of course, one of the most important factors in interest rate policy is the inflation rate. The July Consumer Price Index will also be released at 8:30. Look for a tenth of a percent decrease overall and a two tenths of a percent increase in the core rate. The Federal Reserve Open Market Com,, mittee meets next week for what will almost certainly be another cut in short-term interest rates.
Yesterday the major indexes took another drubbing, but it really wasn't THAT bad a day, as the advance/decline line held up pretty well. The big hurt of the day was laid on the Nasdaq, which lost over 45 points. Later today, earnings from Kmart, Dell, Ciena and Hewlett-Packard.
Futures have improved a bit during the last two hours but are still a bit negative. Adjusted for fair value, S&P futures are down 4, Dow futures are down 16, and the Nasdaq futures are about 14 points.
August 15, 2001The itty bitty rally we started with yesterday petered out as the day dragged along. Last night a few big companies reported earnings. BEA Systems beat estimates by a penny, but warned about the remainder of the year. Applied Materials also beat estimates, Network Appliance matched expectations. AOL/Time Warner was hit with a rumor about an earnings shortfall and impending layoffs yesterday. AOL lost about $3 to $40 on the day
Later today, we'll hear about our Industrial Production and Capacity U, tilization. Expect declines in both.
Don't forget to file your tax return! If you took an automatic extension of time to file of April 15, today's the deadline to file, unless you formally request an additional two-month extension.
European markets are quiet day in fact a lot of overseas markets are closed for Assumption day. And the U.S. futures have been pretty quiet this morning. Adjusted for fair value, S&P futures are up 3, Dow futures are up 18, and the Nasdaq futures are about 4 points.
August 14, 2001At 8:30 this morning, the report on July retail sales. A decrease of 2/10 of a percent overall and, excluding autos, a rise of 1/10 of a percent is expected. Speaking of retail sales, Walmart met estimates on 37 cents pre share this last quarter. Home Depot made 39 cents. That beat estimates by 2 cents. And speaking of auto sales, this may get a little tougher for the domestics car makers. The Bank of Japan overnight announced a surprise easing of monetary policy. Interest rates, of course, are already virtually zero in Japan. Now the Japanese Central Bank is planning to flo, od the system with yen, making it even cheaper for Japanese consumers to consume and Japanese exporters to profit. The Japanese stock market was up almo, st 4% overnight.
Tyco cutting 11,000 jobs, that's 6% of their payroll. Citigroup cutting about 1 ½ percent of their workforce, that's 3,500 jobs.
Europe is up across the board this hour, and barring a disaster in the retail sales number we'll start the day with an itty bitty rally on Wall Street. Adjusted for fair value, S&P futures are up 3, Dow futures are up 9, and the Nasdaq futures are about 9 points above fair value.
August 13, 2001Another call from a major investment firm this morning may give us a little boost at 9:30. Just past 7 this morning, Goldman Sachs upgraded its outlook for certain semiconductor and telecommunication stocks. That turned a negative futures market around pretty nicely, especially for the Nasdaq.
Mark this day on your calendar, the first Bridgestone/Firestone lawsuit gets going today. Could be a lot time before that story goes away. One legal dispute settled this morning, as Ford has settled a Californina lawsuit over allegedly defective ignition switches. Nationwide, that could mean the recall of 5 million vehicles.
A lot of big names report earning, s later this week, and of course, we're a week away from another Fed meeting. Japan's Nikkei is at another 16 year low, falling so fast it's actually closing in on the Dow Jones. The Nikkei now under 11,500. Europe is up a little this hour. Adjusted for fair value, futures are mixed. S&P futures are up 1, Dow futures just turned down about 10, and the Nasdaq futures are about 11 points above fair value.
August 10, 2001The stock market was a lot like a duck in the lake yesterday, paddling furiously below the sur>
The big number of the day will be the Producer Price Index at 8:30 this morning. Economists are expecting a decrease of 4 tenths of a percent overall and and rise of 1 tenth of a percent in the core rate. The lower these numbers are, of course, the more room the Federal Reserve has to continue lowering interest ra, , tes. At this point the Fed Futures contracts are pricing in an 80% probability of another ½ percent interest rate cut by November.
That three billion dollar judgement against Philip Morris in California was cut to $100 million by a judge in California yesterday. Phillip Morris still plans to appeal to get its reduced even further.
Europe is up 1 to 2 percent today. Adjusted for fair value, futures are slightly positive. S&P futures are up 2 1/2, Dow futures are up 10 and the Nasdaq futures are about 3 points above fair value.
August 9, 2001Yesterday was a day we really could have done without, as far as stocks were concerned. The Federal Reserve's Beige Book was released. It reported that the weakness in manufacturing has started to spread to other businesses, like office space, trucking and shipping. Now, if you live in an area that has no office buildings, maybe you haven't seen scores of "For Rent" signs lately. But, for anyone who has been looking around a bit, this Beige Book revelation should not be big news. Unfortunately, the market did not react well, as we lost 3% on the Nasdaq and 165 points on the Dow.
If you're looking for some good news today --- Solectron, the world's biggest electronics contract manufacturer , is buying C-Mac, a Canadian company, for about 2.7 billion U.S. dollars. Why is this good news? Well everybody is waiting for companies to come out and tell us that things are getting better. Sometimes it's a good idea to ignore what they say and watch what they do. If we get some pickup in merger activity, it is likely a good sign for the future.
Japan was a mess overnight, Europe is down 1 to 2 percent. Adjusted for fair value, futures are mixed. S&P futures are down 3 1/2, Dow futures are up 6 and the Nasdaq futures are about 8 points below fair value.
August 8, 2001A nice surprise yesterday morning - an uptick in U.S. worker productivity helped the Dow Jones to a 57 point gain. But we may be giving it all back at the open this morning.
Last night, after the general market closed, Cisco Systems matched estimates of 2 cents per share in earnings. Cisco stock bubbled up when the number was released to about $19.60 per share. But when the company started talking about expectations for the future, things took an ugly turn. About ten minutes past 5 yesterday afternoon, the stock took some lumps as the company suggested that the internet equipment business has not bottomed, a, nd may not bottom for another 3 to 6 months. Cisco trading this morning at about $18.40 per share.
Good news for Boeing - a $2 billion order from China for 737s. Later today, earnings from Waste Management and Clorox.
The Cisco news and a negative outlook from Emulex will get us off on the wrong foot this morning. Adjusted for fair value, S&P futures are down 7, Dow futures are down 55 and the Nasdaq futures are about 13 points below fair market value.
August 7, 2001The story on Intel's projected price cuts yesterday morning set the stock market off on the wrong foot, and it never really got any better. Unfortunately, we have more of the same this morning. A brokerage firm downgrade of just about the entire semiconductor industry has the futures pointing to a lower opening.
Quarterly productivity numbers, one of Alan Greenspan's favorite economic indicators, will be released later today.
Procter & Gamble out with earnings; they beat estimates by a penny. After the market closes tonight, the big report of the day - Cisco Systems reports earnings. Two cents per share is expected, but the issue for investors will not be what the earnings have been. We'll be listening for any guidance a, bout the future.
Asia down, Europe down, and futures are a little weak this morning. Adjusted for fair value, S&P futures are down 4 and the Nasdaq futures are about 20 points below fair value.
August 6,2001There's some potentially good news if your planning to buy a computer for Christmas, but it may not be such great news if you own stock in Intel or Advanced Micro Devices. There's a research report out this morning saying that Intel will slash prices on their microprocessors a few weeks from now. Some of those cuts could be as much as 50%. Intel is down over a buck in premarket trading.
A few weeks ago General Motors told EchoStar Communications to forget it - go away - GM was not interested in selling Hughes Electronics to them. They would talk exclusively to News Corp. Well, they're back. EchoStar this morning is offering over 30 billion dollars in stock for GMH. That's about an 18% premium. Don't hold your breath on this one, though. Remember - it's an all-stock offer. GM presumably is looking for cash out of any sale of Hughes.
No big earnings or economic reports expected today, it should be another light day for volume.
The futures, are a little weak this morning. Adjusted for fair value, S&P futures are down 2 1/2, Dow futures are flat, but the Nasdaq futures, on that Intel report, are about 16 points below fair value.
August 3, 2001The stock of the morning is Sensormatic. This morning, news that conglomerate Tyco is offering 24 bucks a share for Sensormatic, that's a 2.3 billion dollar deal. Sensormatic closed below $15 last night, but is trading in the premarket at about $23.
Two major earnings reports this morning. Disney beat lowered estimates as did Ethan Allen.
The big news of this day hits at 8:30 this morning, when the government reports the July unemployment rate and the increase or decrease in non-farm jobs. The consensus estimate of economists is a decline of 50,000 jobs and a rise in the unemployment rate to 4.6%. But, there is an unusually large variation in the range of estimates. Yesterday's unemployment claims data seemed to suggest that the jobs market was getting better, but a lot of economists are calling for a decline in payrolls of 100,000 or more. If that indeed is true, you can bet on more interest rate cuts to come.
The futures are taking a wait and see attitude in front of those numbers, Adjusted for fair value, S&P an, d Nasdaq futures are down only a point or so, the Dow futures are about 20 points below fair value.
August 2, 2001A lot of stuff going on this morning. About an hour ago, the Bank of England unexpectedly cut interest rates a quarter percent, citing weaker economic conditions. But apparently everything across the channel is just fine -- the European Central Bank held rates unchanged.
Overnight, shares of PMC Sierra surged over 10%. Why? That stock is being added to the S&P 500 to replace Quaker Oats, which was up over 13% yesterday. Why? As we discussed yesterday morning, the FTC did give Pepsi the OK to buy Quaker.
In fifteen minutes, last week's jobless claims number will be released. Look for an increase of about 20,000 claims. That number is always a little squirrelly this time of year because of auto factory changeover.
Europe generally higher this morning, Japan up 3.7% and Taiwan way up over night, on the strength of the semiconductor stocks that did so well here in the U.S. yesterday.
Unless we get a big surprise from the jobless claims at 8:30, we're going up at the market open. Adjusted for fair value, S&P futures are up 12, Dow futures up 93 and the Nasdaq futures 28 points ab, ove fair value.
August 1, 2001It's summer, a lot of traders are on vacation, trading volumes are light. So, you can't read too much into a couple good days for stocks. Still -we'll take it. The futures are indicating a solid opening and they've been gaining strength since 5 o'clock this morning.
One of the reasons is likely a blanket upgrade of the semiconductor chip stocks be a major brokerage firm. It was a similar downgrade last fall that really seemed to tip off the big market decline. So, watch those Nasdaq stocks today.
Earnings reports continue to trickle in. Only one miss this morning; Cigna, the big insurance company missed estimates by 4 cents.
Later today, the Federal Trade Commission may rule on the Pepsi/Quaker Oats merger. The National Association Purchasing Managers Index for July comes out at 10 o'clock. That index measures the health of our manufacturers. It's no secret that the manufacturing sector is contracting - the question is whether the rate of that contraction has stabilized. The expected level for the Index is 44.5.
Adjusted for fair value, S&P futures are up 4, Dow futures up 12 and the N, asdaq futures 30 points above fair value.

text: Nigerian Copyright Reform Becomes Less Transparent As Comments Roll In 25/01/2016 by Dugie Standeford for Intellectual Property Watch 1 Comment Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)The Nigerian government has continued to make progress toward new copyright legislation in recent weeks, but efforts appear to have become less transparent, as the results of a public comment period that ended weeks ago have not been made available and as of press time the draft copy of the bill was no longer available on the Copyright Commission website. A copy of the most recent public draft bill is available here. Consultation on the Nigerian Copyright Commission's (NCC) Draft Copyright Bill 2015 ended on 5 January, but it's unclear how many submissions there were because the Commission hasn't yet posted them and its website has been unavailable for several days. The NCC didn't respond to several requests about when the responses would be published. Comments seen by Intellectual Property Watch showed a mixed response to the NCC's proposed rules updating Nigeria's copyright regime. The goal of copyright reform is to reposition Nigerian creative industries for greater growth, help them compete better in the global marketplace, and allow the country to fully satisfy its obligations under various international copyright instruments, the draft said. The country's economy was widely reported to have overtaken that of South Africa's in 2014. The submissions were to be reviewed by an NCC technical working group that was expected to produce a final document to be submitted to the government for transmission to Parliament, NCC Regulatory Department Head Michael Akpan told Intellectual Property Watch in November (IPW, Copyright Policy, 22 November 2015). Akpan said then that he expected challenges to several of the draft's provisions, but not from rights owners. "Serious, Negative Implications" "The current draft has some serious and even negative implications for Nigeria as a developing country," University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg Scholarly Communications Librarian Denise Nicholson told the NCC. Among other problems, the text proposes to extend the copyright term of protection from an author's life plus 50 years to the author's life plus 70 years. "This is not advisable for any developing countries as the extension just means a further period of paying royalties to developed countries as that is where most of the [intellectual property (IP)] works for education and research come from," she wrote. Nicholson also criticised the draft's "fair dealing" exception clause (Sec. 20(1)(a). The provision is "very limited and doesn't seem to apply to libraries or archives," said Nicholson. A "Fair Use provision like the USA would be far more beneficial to all users of information, including authors, publishers, lawyers, educators, researchers, students and other users of information." American University Washington College of Law Professors Peter Jaszi and Michael Carroll and Professorial Lecturer in Residence Sean Flynn also urged the NCC to offer a US-style fair use provision. "Our central and most important suggestion is to encourage the NCC to open its proposed fair dealing clause in Sec. 20 to be applicable to any purpose…" they wrote. They argued for "open" copyright limitations and exceptions. The draft recognises the benefits of "flexible" exceptions – those which apply to multiple purposes based on a generally applicable balancing test and which help the law adapt to the "next wave" of developments in culture, technology and commerce which often can't be foreseen, the academics said. But the document limits fair dealing to research, teaching, education, private use, criticism, review or the reporting of current events, they wrote. "Uses falling outside of this list cannot benefit from the flexible exception even if they are otherwise fair," they said. They recommended that the NCC make the exception open to allow the flexible exception to be applied to purposes not expressly listed in the statute, along the lines of the US fair use clause. That would close a range of gaps in the provision's coverage, they said. "Worthy of Imitation Elsewhere" Sec. 44(8) on limitations and exceptions relating to anti-circumvention won praise from the US academics. It "appears designed to address the potential conflict between copyright limitations and exceptions, on the one hand, and prohibitions against the circumvention of technological protection measures (TPMs), on the other," they wrote. The provision recognises that without a clear exception, TPMs can and likely will frustrate the exercise of many exceptions to copyright control, they said. "More than 15 years of international experience with anti-circumvention legislation has demonstrated this problem, and the NCC has taken it into account," leading to an "approach that is worthy of imitation elsewhere." Nichols, however, said the act should specifically include provisions to allow circumvention for legitimate library, educational and research purposes and for access for blind people and others with disabilities. Libraries Seek Further Protections The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) worried about the potential impact of Sec. 21(2)(b) which reads: "If a work or a copy of such work, in such an institution's collection, is incomplete, such an institution may make or procure a copy of the missing parts from another institution, unless the work can reasonably be acquired through general trade or from the publisher." Material in some publicly accessible libraries is often vandalised, and the phrase "unless the work can reasonably be acquired through general trade or from the publisher" could be interpreted to mean that libraries must re-purchase an entire book when only one page has been damaged, wrote Eve Woodberry, who chairs the IFLA copyright and other legal matters committee. She recommended replacing the phrase with one that permits copying when only an insubstantial part of the work is missing, without having to first buy a new copy through general trade. Libraries also want a provision protecting them from liability for copyright infringement when they act in good faith within the scope of their duties, and a clause protecting exceptions applicable to libraries from being overridden by contracts. The African Union of the Blind recommended that Nigeria and other nations that haven't yet done so ratify that Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for Persons Who Are Blind, Visually Impaired or Otherwise Print Disabled. The NCC should also consider a resolution on accessibility for persons with disabilities approved by the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights, AFUB said. Google confirmed that it had made a submission but declined to share it, stating that it understood the Nigerian government is still in the process of reviewing the comments and would release them when ready. [Update:] Attempts to reach two developed nation rightsholder groups for comment on the draft were unsuccessful.

One of the oldest Amnesty groups in the UK
Brighton Amnesty group is one of the oldest most established Amnesty groups in the UK, recently celebrating its fortieth year of activism. Just eighteen months after Peter Benensen founded Amnesty International, Brighton residents set up their own local group within the city.
Generations of activists
Today the group meets every month to talk about cases and listen to speakers from other local projects. A number of people in the group are the parents of ex-Brighton sixth-formers who actively campaigned for human rights while at college. Just before the students went on to university, they encouraged their families to continue the work in Brighton – not wanting to see it cease entirely – which they agreed to do, and continue to do today.
Success case
The group sends money to Amnesty headquarters each month to support the very urgent cases that they wouldn't have the time to start properly campaigning for. They try to take on about one or two cases at a time to support over a long term period. A recent case was one of an Ethopian Prisoner of Conscience who had been imprisoned for ten years. The group supported him for the last eight years of his imprisonment and towards the end of that term they put together a dossier which they then took to the Ethiopian Embassy – a few days after their visit the man was released. Maybe the group contributed towards that decision.
Differences of opinion
Sometimes there can be debate among the group about which cases they should support – as there was for their current case, a group of Cuban dissidents, now Prisoners of Conscience. While some were happy to support the prisoners from the start, others weren't so certain, feeling there was reason to believe the Cuban group had been infiltrated and not as innocent as they seemed. When this kind of thing happens members who do want to support a particular case, go ahead and do so, and those who don't, whatever their reasons, support another case instead. At the moment, that other case is Omar Deghayes, the British resident being held in Guantanamo Bay.
Raising money and raising awareness
Mainly the Amnesty group in Brighton organises events to raise money for the wider work of Amnesty International, spread the word about local campaigns and raise awareness about human rights in general. They have support from other people in the community, from the Friends Meeting House, to local churches, and Infinity Foods organics shop. They put up stalls around Brighton whenever they can – at community fairs, popular local events like Gay Pride (including the procession), and the Brighton Festival (holding an Open House and putting up stalls outside relevant events). Every year they hold a 24hr Letter Writing Vigil and are always on the lookout for new ways to raise awareness in the community and join up with people to talk about and support human rights.
Comments about this page
Hi Cora, really enjoyed reading that! I wasn't aware that the Brighton and Hove group were one of the longest surviving groups.
Hi Cora, we'd really like to try and get an Amnesty group off the ground here at Littlehampton Community School and get involved in some campaigns but we can't find anyone locally to help us. Would you be able to put me in touch with someone who could get us started?

Whilst most of us were enjoying a springtime saunter around and about Bowland and Glasson Docks the hard men were down in Leicestershire riding the LVRC Fleche Waltonne road race. You probably won't be surprised to hear that Brian and Grimpy were 1st & 2nd in their age group. Brian tells me he almost missed the break which went on the first of five 10 mile laps. He was daydreaming at the back of the peloton and didn't see 5 riders clip off the front. However once he realised what was happening he bridged the gap alone - he was the only 'F' category rider in the break. Grimpy won the sprint from the chasing group making it a one/two for the boys in blue.
Just a reminder - Spring into the Dales - Sunday 17th April
If you fancy a change of scenery before the Dales I thought I might ride the Sheffrec Full Monty 200k on 10th April, its a circuit of the Peak District from Malin Bridge, north of Sheffield.
There's also a couple of 100k Audax's from Marple on Weds 13th.

Boli Bags Win In Pompano Open
Published: April 11, 2016 11:58 pm ET
No Comments | Jump to Comments
Despite "missing the train as it left the station," Boli, driven by Wally Hennessey, erupted with a huge rally in the final half mile to score a photo finish victory in Pompano Park's $9,400 feature trot on Monday night, covering the distance in 1:55.3.
The four-year-old son of Kadabra, stepping up to Open company for the initial time this season, put in a memorable performance in pinning a defeat measuring a neck over Sailer Eddie (Kevin Wallis) with Bambino Hall (Aaron Byron) just another nose away in third.
At the outset, it was Sailer Eddie on the bullet train early in the bulky field with Midnite Craze protecting his rail position and Bambino Hall finding a spot in third and Count Speed wending his way into fourth. Meanwhile, Boli was dead last and more than 15 lengths out of through an opening panel in :27.3.
With Sailer Eddie appearing to get somewhat of a breather during the second panel, positions remained virtually stagnant with only Tater Twister-moving from sixth to fifth-and My Revenuer were out and attempting to close the gap on the leader, who reached the half in :56.4. On the backstretch, Midnite Craze left the coziness of the pocket to engage the Sailer Eddie with Bambino Hall edging a tad closer along with Tater Twister.
Meanwhile, Boli, who moved three wide just past the half, was gobbling up ground and, by the time Sailer Eddie reached the third station in 1:26, Boli was then four wide, now sixth, and less five lengths off the lead. His rally continued all the way home, with his :28.3 finale just enough to hit the line first.
After the event, Hennessey said, "I still can't believe what just happened. Horses just don't do what he just did. I've been in this business for 45 years and I've have seen it all-until just now. This was the most unbelievable mile in my lifetime. I mean it! He (Boli) got a bit tangled up in the hopples early and made a slight skip and wasn't really focused on business and, gee, we must've been close to 20 lengths out of it when we started. In other words, the train left the station without me! I just can't believe it. Again, horses just don't do what he did tonight!"
For Boli, trained by Dan Hennessey for Paul and Patricia O'Neil, it was the gelding's fourth consecutive win and ninth win lifetime sending his career bounty to $74,664--$15,012 this semester. Boli returned $3.80 to win.
Racing continues on Tuesday night with Godiva Seelster seeking her second straight win in the $12,100 Open Pace for Mares.
Post time is 7:30 p.m.

Maybe it was Your Fault
Ezekiel 34:16 - I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak, but the sleek and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd the flock with justice.
Have you suffered an injury and thought, "If only I'd been paying more attention to what I was doing?"
Maybe, maybe, maybe …
You can examine every detail over and over, but to keep focusing on what you might have been able to do doesn't change what happened. There is something you can do, though – be more aware of your surroundings and what you are doing.
These four ways are known to most people, but what about watching your surroundings to help you stay well and free of accidents?
As you read through the list you may have found ways that you're not being careful, which could mean, that it was your fault when you got hurt or sick recently. Try not to be too hard on yourself. It's not too late to learn new ways to prevent accidents. Washingtonnational.com has some tips on prevention in their article, "A Guide to Preventing Accidents at Home and in the Workplace."
One way is to manage your meds. If you take prescription or over-the-counter drugs ask your doctor and pharmacist about possible side effects, because they can alter your coordination, alertness and judgment. In addition, people of all ages are injured or die from falls. Be sure to check your vision regularly. Poor eyesight can lead to a fall.
Being more aware can make it less likely that you are injured or become sick and will help you see that not all of these circumstances are your fault. Be sure that God will bind up any injury you've experienced, and will strengthen you when you are sick. Also, remember that he's not as judgmental and hard on us as we are on ourselves. I guarantee that he is a merciful God and will be with us no matter what.
Psalm 46:5 - God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.
There are things in life that you don't have much control over – serious illnesses such as fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, strep throat just to name a few. Thankfully there are medications that can help each of these issues, especially when you had no control over getting them in the first place.
There are other medical issues that you can control and sometimes even eliminate. Take for example catching the flu. It is hard to protect yourself during flu season but there are things that you can do to avoid getting sick such as improving you immune system by eating foods high in vitamin C, getting enough sleep, and even exercising.
And there is another – Falling. Sometimes we can't prevent a fall, but we can know what to do as you're falling to prevent injury to your body.
But no matter how you try sometimes a fall happens. Is there something more you can do to make a fall less traumatic to the body? Yes, there is.
Smartcellsusa.com has an article on their website entitled, "How-to Fall Safely to Reduce Fall Related Injuries," which provides suggestions you can take to reduce your injuries, such as how to safely fall forward, sideways and backwards. Then instead of falling and breaking your arm or leg, you will break your fall.
Remember that God is with you as you start to fall and if you fall. He will safely guard you so that you don't fall or at least not as often.
Jeremiah 17:14 - Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise.
Traffic was light that morning. Usually the woman had to battle people diving in and out of the lanes traveling north, but that day there was no one swerving in and out of traffic. There was a good reason. It had been raining hard overnight and into the morning.
She gripped the steering wheel tighter and kept her eyes alert for danger. Then, out of the corning of her eye she saw him. His front tires almost looked like they were floating on top of the water and he wasn't compensating for this hazard, but kept going faster than the speed limit.
"Perhaps he was late for work," she'd thought. "Or perhaps he just isn't paying attention to how hard the rain was falling."
And then it happened – He lost control of his car and though the woman reacted by moving over to the lane to her left, it wasn't enough.
It all happened in slow motion for her. His tires skidding. Then the sound of grinding mental and her car spun around in a circle then landed in the opposite lane of traffic.
She heard another crash. Then, nothing.
The woman didn't remember much about the accident. She only remembered the sounds and feeling crushing pain shoot through her arm and leg.
When she had regained consciousness, she was in the recovery room of a hospital. Evidently, she learned later, surgery had been performed to piece together her arm with a plate and screws, and her leg had also received several screws to hold the bones in place.
Physical therapy lasted for months, as her body attempted to heal itself. But the doctors were optimistic that she would be able to use her arm and leg normally within the next six months after.
The pain was harsh and came in waves. She grabbed her leg and rubbed her hand over the area of her leg that had been damaged. The doctors had said she'd regain use of the leg, and they had been right, but they hadn't been right about how long it would take for the pain to go away.
It didn't.
Time passed, and it had been over a year since the accident. Her pain was then diagnosed as a chronic pain condition. Something the doctors said that she would probably deal with the rest of her life.
Though this story is fictional, it is a story that has been repeated in many individuals' lives. What starts out as a car accident or injury at work can turn into a chronic pain condition, as somewhere along the way the healing process does not include healing the pain.
Is there anything you can do after a car accident to speed up the healing process and perhaps avoid developing a chronic pain condition? Yes there is!
In the article, "The First 72 Hours: 10 Simple Things That can Help You Heal," on drmaud.com, you will find what to do in the first seventy-two hours after a car accident to help you heal, such as a method to reduce pain and inflammation and what to do after the sudden shock of an accident.
And remember, God will be with you as you do the best you can to aid your healing process. With the right care, you will have a better chance of healing from an accident and reduce the risk of the injury turning into a chronic pain condition.
Sprains and Strains
Hebrews 12:12-13 - Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. "Make level paths for your feet," so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
You're at a soccer match when your son reaches down for his leg and a gasp escapes his lips. The coach calls a time out as your son limps slowly off the field.
So what do you do now? Should he just rest for the duration of the game or should you take him to the emergency room to be checked out? And was this a sprain or a strain?
Knowing which type of injury your son has experienced will tell what kind of medical attention he needs or if he doesn't need any at all.
To help us understand what to do in a situation like this whether it is your son or when you've injured yourself, you must understand the different types of injuries.
A sprain is an overstretched or torn ligament. A strain is an overstretched or torn muscles or tendons. Learn more about the differences, common causes and how to treat both a sprain or a strain by reading the article, "Is it a Sprain or a Strain? Tips for Identification," on healthline.com.
Now that you know the difference between sprains and strains and what to look for you'll be better able to determine what the best course of action will be to treat them. Also, as the Bible verse above states, it's important to strengthen weak parts of your body through stretching and exercise so that you'll have a better chance of avoiding becoming disabled and instead find healing.
Head Injuries
Proverbs 2:6 - For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
Remember when you watched the smile and excitement form on your child's face and she took one little foot and stuck it out in front of the other. She wobbled a bit and then that foot was planted on the ground. Everyone in the room cheered. Her first step!
Go forward a couple of years where your child is trying their limits. You're in the kitchen and you hear a crash. You run to the living room only to find your two-year old on the floor crying and her older sibling saying, "We were only jumping off the couch."
As you examine your two-year old you notice a bump rising. You lift her up and go with your two-year old and her brother to the emergency room. After a couple of x-rays you discover that nothing was broken and that your child only has a light concussion. "This time," you think to yourself. Then you remember how your older child "tested the waters" of what he could do and the times you ended up in the emergency room with him.
What you did after your two-year old child was absolutely necessary. Now, I'm not a doctor or in any medical profession, so my advice is to do what I do: Don't hesitate with any kind of head injury and take your child to your doctor or the emergency room, especially for babies or small children. Head injuries are nothing to mess with. This rule should also go for adults when they take a fall or hit their head.
You'll find symptoms of possible intracranial injury in both children and adults, plus detailed descriptions of head injuries, types, what areas of the brain are affected and what to look for in the article, "How to Know When Head Injuries are Serious," on nymetroparents.com.
When making decisions about when to take an adult or child for medical attention after a head injury, it can be difficult. When in doubt, take the injured person to be checked out. Also, remember that God can give you the wisdom you need for such a decision.
Please Don't Bump Me
Lamentations 3:4 - He has made my skin and my flesh grow old and has broken my bones.
I lose my balance and slam into the wall.
Someone bumps into me.
I run into my bedpost when I wake up in the middle of the night.
The wind catches my open car door and drives it into my leg.
All of these can cause a bruise. For the healthy person a bruise isn't a big deal. The skin changes as blood vessels beneath the skin break and blood pools in the damaged area. There is a certain amount of pain depending on how the damage was done. Normally a bruise disappears within a short time as the body absorbs the pooled blood.
However, with someone who bruises easily someone bumping into them can end up causing a bruise that goes deeper than just on the surface but to vessels further beneath the surface. And if the injured individual has a condition with their blood resulting in the increased bleeding, a bruise can take longer to heal.
Emedicinehealth.com discusses reasons for bruising in their article, "Bruises," such as sun-damaged skin, thinning of the skin with age and a Vitamin C deficiency.
One method of treatment of bruising and other injuries that is popular and can be done at home is the R.I.C.E. treatment. Verywelll.com writes about this treatment in their article, "R.I.C.E. Treatment for Acute Musculoskeletal Injury."
This treatment should be performed quickly after an injury to reduce swelling and pain an can be done at home. However, if your pain and swelling doesn't go down after 48 hours, you should see your doctor.
God has created our bodies in unique ways to heal even if we are prone to bruising. He knows how we are made and will help us heal when we bruise.
Stop Guarding Your Injury
Proverbs 2:8 - For he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.
There are several different sides to the word, "guard".
You can guard your heart and only share it with someone who will treat you with love and respect.
You can guard your lips from speaking unkind words.
You can guard your life by avoiding dangerous situations.
You can guard your home by installing locks and putting in a security system.
You can guard your job by completing tasks on time and honoring your superiors.
You can guard your reputation by using discretion at all times.
You can guard your freedom by keeping society's laws.
However, there is a bad kind of guarding and it happens frequently to those with chronic pain – guarding your muscles and posture from reinjuring yourself. This may seem like a good thing, however, by guarding you keep your muscles so tight that you can barely move.
What you are using as a protective measure can lead to increased pain.
Take a look at a statement from somatics.com, in their article, "Might You be Strengthening Your Pain?" that might help us better understand what's going on.
So what can we do to reverse the painful cycle? Find some suggestions for releasing muscles that are guarded from stridestrong.com in their article, "Muscle Spasms."
Here are some stretching exercises you can do at home to help with muscle pain and stress:
It will take some time to help the cycle of guarding your muscles and joints to subside, but releasing them will help you return to a more active lifestyle - One in which you aren't guarding and thus decreasing your pain.
In addition, let God be the one who guards and protects your injury. He will protect your way and will be faithful to help you have wisdom as you move through each day.
A Matter of Patience and Pride
Ecclesiastes 7:8 - The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride.
According to osha.gov, in their article, "Injury and Illness Prevention Programs White Paper," every year, more than 4.1 million workers suffer a serious job-related injury or illness.
So why are there so many injuries?
What can be done? Being proactive is the key. Many employers are now creating prevention programs to help cut down on these numbers. You may have even seen recommendations posted in or near a break room or main office at your work places.
In a previous post, I discussed how we can reduce injury not only at work, but also at home. The important thing to remember is to think about and plan your work ahead of time. Most of us are in such a hurry that we forget to be careful and end up getting injured.
There are two things that factor into protection against injury. They are patience and pride.
Take a look at the Bible verse above. When it comes to a project at work or at home, we can often become impatient when we or someone else isn't working fast enough.
It can be very annoying when someone or something is blocking you from finishing a project. It's like you only have one piece of the puzzle to have it completed only to find out someone else is holding onto that piece. You're trying to work as quickly as you can, but you can't seem to motivate the other person to hurry up.
Or perhaps it is you who is holding back a project's completion. We often begin to work faster at finding the solution only to make mistakes along the way, because we're not paying attention and then an injury happens.
Here's a tip I try to remember myself – when I'm stuck or running out of time, I stand up, walk away from the project then return a few minutes later. Even just a few minutes of break is often all I needed to see a new side of a situation and find the answer I was looking for. Yes, patience is important.
The second thing that can block our way is pride.
Somehow you believe that you don't need anyone else's help. So you run into a complicated part of a project which you've never done before and are delayed because you're just not willing to ask someone for help. This is especially dangerous on the job, because you might lift something that's too heavy for one person and end up hurting yourself.
Here's a tip – you can still feel good about completing a project with someone else's help. Sure, that might get part of the recognition, but it can be an example to others showing that getting help can increase productivity. When you don't risk becoming injured that can also be an example to others to reach for help when needed.
And that's part of what the Bible verse above is talking about. It's the end that can be a source of pride when you exercised patience to complete it and remained uninjured.

Sit up Straight
Ezekiel 34:16a - I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak.
Sit up straight. Isn't that what your mother or your teacher told you all your life? Though they didn't worry about work-related accidents or chronic pain when they said it, little did they know just how good that advice was.
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), in their article, "OSHA Technical Manual," reported that every year more than 4.1 million workers suffer a serious job-related injury or illness.
Back and neck problems are seldom caused by a single injury. An activity is done the same way over and over, and then one event happens and you can't bounce back from it.
That's why, you've heard of stories of people rupturing a disc just by slipping on the bathroom floor or tripping over the sidewalk. The disc was already being slowly injured by doing things incorrectly. And then one more thing hit, the straw in the proverbial camel's back, and the disc herniated.
Find some tips from American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons website in their article, "Tips to Prevent Back Pain," to help reduce your risk of back pain and injury such as positioning the person or object your are lifting close to your body before lifting.
Even if an injury happens and it becomes chronic pain, as it did in my case, remember the verse above. God pursues us in our injuries. He will bind up your injury and strengthen the weak areas of your life including your body. Don't lose hope and don't forget to be wise and careful as you walk through your week.

Today is Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey's birthday, or at least it would have been had he not died in 1845. Earl Grey was British Prime Minister from 1830 to 1834, and is credited with the creation of the tea that still bears his name. While many stories circulate, it appears that Earl Grey was gifted some black tea flavoured with bergamot, and it made such an impression upon him that he called upon his local grocer, Jacksons of Picadilly, to reproduce the striking citrus flavour. Sometime thereafter, due to its popularity, Twinings approached the Grey family and received their consent to market the tea more widely, and a classic infusion was born.
Following on from last week's experiments in tea-infused vermouth then, this recipe is for an Earl Grey Old Fashioned, a perfect toast for the man himself, as the orange and cherry flavours of the classic old fashioned are beautifully offset by the hint of bergamot orange provided by the tea. Proceed as follows:
- Infuse one teaspoon of loose leaf Earl Grey tea per 50ml of whiskey. Leave for thirty minutes and then strain.
- Muddle one sugar cube, three splooshes of orange bitters, and some water in a rocks glass.
- Add a handful of ice and a large measure of Earl Grey-infused whiskey.
- Stir gently and garnish with a twist of orange peel.

"Creativity is underrated – at least that is what Fredrik Härén, author of The Idea Book believes."We want to be thought of as being creative people, but, by and large, companies are not fostering creativity, but practically killing it … through bureaucracy, through process-driven organisations," Härén told INSEAD MBAs at the school's Asia campus in Singapore.
The irony, however, is that almost all companies have innovation and creativity in their mission statements or their slogans, he says. But these are all just a marketing exercise, or the mission statement doesn't trickle down to the rest of the organisation.
But why the emphasis on creativity? According to Härén, harnessing creative energy can generate new ideas, which can, in turn, lead to greater economic and social progress."

Every so often we, the SiD software designers, send updates to people who are on our group email/distribution list.
Email content
Newsy items we share may include:
- new software features;
- database best practices;
- data cleanup;
- SiD webinar announcements;
- high-priority notices about software disruptions (thankfully rare!); and
- prepping to submit MnABE required reports.
Target audience
SiD emails are written for people whose main job function is to maintain or oversee data in SiD, i.e. primary data staff and ABE managers. The tight member guidelines help us keep the group email list current and manageable. Most ABE programs have one or two people in the SiD email group.
The SiD group list does not include staff with teacher or view only logins. The email content is often not relevant, especially when it comes to submitting reports to MnABE.
There's nothing super secret about the SiD emails. We strongly encourage SiD group members to forward any part of the emails to your local staff. This gives you control of what information your staff see.
How to be added to or removed from the SiD Group Email list
- If you're a primary data person or manager for your ABE program, send us a request to be added to the SiD group email at email@example.com.
- If you're currently on the list and wish to be removed, you can also reach us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

For the second year, Seattle Niners Faithful took part in the Polar Plunge to benefit Special Olympics Washington. Jumping into the Puget Sound in February isn't exactly what we'd call enticing, but it benefits a great cause in our community.
Each plunger was required to raise a minimum of $75 to take part in the event. We ended up with a total of 23 plungers — over double our required number of 10, and earning us the Biggest Team award. We needed to raise $750, and absolutely blew that away with a total raised amount of $6,481. This over doubled our number from 2015. We fell just shy of the award for most raised, thanks to a late push of another team that was inspired after we were shown on local television as being in the lead.
For the second consecutive year, we won the Team Spirit Award. Despite the friendly jeers of the other teams due to our being decked out in red and gold, everyone at the event was friendly and extremely supportive of our participation. We had so many people come up to us with kind words that we were so interested in giving back to a community that, uh, isn't always supportive of us.
Our third award came as SNF VP Gerald Rael won the costume contest, draped with a cape and donning a lucha libra style 49ers mask.
All in all, it was a wonderful event that benefitted a great cause. We're already dreaming big about crushing these numbers next year and continuing to build upon our positive view within our community.

The Whip and the scourge may be righteous, but there is no winning of the heart of man with these! Nor is it righteousness which reigns among the saints of God, but grace - through righteousness, unto eternal life. Alas! How many sins that might have been washed away (1 John 1) have been retained! How many brethren, alienated for all time, that might have been won back to God BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD. We have taken readily the JUDGE'S chair, and have got back judgment; but the Master's lowly work WE HAVE NOT DONE.
But how little yet do we understand, that mere righteous dealing-absolutely righteous as it may be, will not work the restoration of souls; that Judgment, however temperate, however true, will not touch, soften and subdue hearts to receive instruction, that, by the very facts of the case, are shown not to be in their true place before God.
Man is not ALL conscience, and conscience reached, with the heart away will do what it did with the first sinner among men - drive him out among the trees of the garden to escape the unwelcome voice.
