There's a minor scandal being carried on at the major teaching hospital of UT Southwestern's medical school and the public hospital for Dallas, Parkland. The Dallas Morning News is reporting that up to recently UT Southwestern was paying medical students to work in the psychiatric emergency room at Parkland during their off time.
What exactly they were being paid to do is in some dispute according to the article but there's major contention over paying medical students for any sort of clinical care. If they were interacting with students, documenting clinical care in notes or essentially doing anything but delivery food trays to them, there is likely a serious problem with paying medical students, who are not yet clinicians, for any sort of patient interaction. And so there is minor drama.
I don't know the truth about what medical students were doing, but I will agree wholeheartedly that the way medical education is organized now in the United States, there is something unethical about paying physicians to play clinicians.

Chris Dingman's NYC Premiere of "The Subliminal and the Sublime".(Published: November 20, 2013)
Hailed by the New York Times as a "dazzling" soloist and composer with a "fondness for airtight logic and burnished lyricism," Chris Dingman is one of the most sought-after vibraphonists and composers of his generation. Schooled in the jazz tradition, yet influenced by a wide range of music and experience, Dingman draws inspiration and meaning from a diverse set of musical sources, uniting them in a progressive approach that has earned him praise as "an extremely gifted young composer, bandleader, recording artist, and much sought-after sideman" (Jon Weber, NPR), for his "deeply lyrical" (Nate Chinen, NY Times) and "poignant work" (David Sprague, Variety).
In 2012, Dingman was named Rising Star Vibraphonist of the Year in Downbeat Magazine, was an Up-and-Coming Artist of the Year nominee at the Jazz Journalist Association Awards, and was featured on NPR's Piano Jazz: Rising Stars. Dingman has performed with many of the world's greatest musicians, including Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Benny Golson, Jimmy Heath, and many others.
This evening's performance marks the NYC premiere of Dingman's latest composition suite, "The Subliminal and the Sublime," the highly anticipated follow-up to his critically acclaimed Waking Dreams. Commissioned by Chamber Music America, "The Subliminal and the Sublime" is a suite of transcendent beauty, with gorgeous layers of sound and thrilling twists and turns. Featuring a top-notch band of musical visionaries, this is an evening of music not to be missed.
He will be joined by Loren Stillman on saxophone, Fabian Almazan on piano, Linda Oh on bass, Justin Brown on drums and special guest Ryan Ferreira on guitar!

Attention All Hockey Fans: 2009 NHL Playoff PoolApril 14, 2009
Hey all BleacherReport hockey fans. I was thinking about running an NHL wide playoff pool. Here is how things will work:
We will go round by round, so I only need your round 1 picks for both conferences. Depending on the amount of people that join in I will remove the bottom ranked people after each round with the lowest points. The Stanley Cup round will come down to the Top 5 people and ties.
You will guess the winner of each match-up and get 1 point for each correct pick. Also you will pick the amount of games the series will go. If you get the games correct you will also get another point (total games correctly picked will get point even if series winner is wrong).
So if you feel up to the challenge, and want to have some fun this playoff season. Send me a post on my page with your round 1 picks and total games of the series. I will then keep track and update the series and points leaders as the playoffs roll through.
Thanks and hope to see your posts. Also let one of the teams pages have bragging rights for having a writer win the whole things.

My earliest memory of piri piri was of a jar of the things my mother had in her kitchen. For some reason completely unknown to me she had a huge quantity of dried bird's eye chillies – I think perhaps someone had given them to her as a gift – and as far I know, we never actually ate them. Such an ingredient wasn't common in the dishes of my childhood, and since I didn't really know the flavour I decided that the best thing to do would be to just try one. Except I wasn't stupid.
No, actually I decided the best course of action would be to offer one to a friend of mine (who luckily had even less of an idea than I did about such things). He was dubious but I told him that it was "really good" and he just "has to try it". His reaction after he'd taken a dozen chews told me pretty much everything I needed to know about piri piri back then, and it wasn't until much more recently, now that my tastes have developed, and my chilli-tolerance has improved as an adult that I've tried to incorporate them into more dishes.
I love cooking whole fish – I haven't quite plucked up the courage yet to get one which hasn't been gutted and cleaned (though judging by the guides I've seen online it's pretty easy) so will always get prepared fish, or – failing that – have the guy manning the fish stall at the local market do it for me with a few deft motions. Cooking fish like this is enormously satisfying. I don't know whether it's a throwback to a recessed caveman gene or something but preparing a whole trout for cooking feels so wholesome, so good, so… primal almost.
I was delighted to see five small trout available nearby for €7.50 for the lot. Each one is enough for one person when served with accompanying side dishes, though those with big appetites would probably want to go for two each. There are the purists, who believe that the absolute best way of serving good, fresh fish is simply pan-fried with a little butter. That's fine – I completely get the attraction of this, but sometimes I like to switch things up a bit, and anything that helps me use my enormous tub of turmeric is fine by me (seriously, I have no reason why I bought so much!).
The good thing about roasting them like this is that the delicate flavour of the fish still comes through. It doesn't get overwhelmed by the rub. You can of course vary the rub to suit your preferences, but I find this particular mix works well and sure makes for good eating!
Serves 5
A simple method of preparing fresh whole fish
15Prep Time
40Cook Time
55Total Time
- 5 small whole Trout, gutted and cleaned
- 1 Lemon
- 2 tbsps Olive Oil
- 1tbsp dried Piri Piri Chillies
- 2tsps Turmeric
- 2tsps ground Cumin
- Freshly ground Salt and Pepper
- Start off by preheating your oven to 200 degrees Celsius and then run the fishes under cold water, rubbing all over to remove any slime.
- Place all the ingredients for the rub, including a few good twists of salt and pepper, into a pestle and mortar and pound everything together well until the mustard seeds and chillies have broken down.
- Using a sharp knife, make three or four cuts along each side of the fishes. The cut should be deep enough to pierce both the skin and penetrate into the flesh below.
- Work the rub into each side of the fishes and into the cavity where it was gutted. Cut the lemon into thin slices and stuff the cavities with lemon slices before arranging the fishes on a baking tray.
- Drizzle with a little olive oil and place into the preheated oven. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes, turning once during cooking and draining off liquid which has accumulated in the pan; this will help the skin stay crisp.
- Serve with accompaniments of your choosing - potatoes, salad, steamed vegetables etc.

Story highlights
- Popular Party politician Isabel Carrasco, 59, was shot and killed Monday in Leon
- Officials say a mother and her daughter were arrested soon after the shooting
- Suspected motive is revenge; the daughter had been fired and had pay disputes, officials say
- Tests on the hands of the two suspects have not revealed who may have fired the weapon
Police were searching Tuesday for a gun used in the fatal shooting of a top regional politician, killed in a brazen attack in broad daylight that has shaken Spain.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy went to the northern city of Leon to attend the funeral of the politician, Isabel Carrasco, 59, who had held various regional posts in Rajoy's ruling conservative Popular Party.
Officials say two women, a mother, 55, and her daughter, 35, were arrested soon after the shooting Monday in Leon, and the suspected motive is revenge.
The daughter was let go in 2011 from a provincial government office headed by the slain politician, and she recently had pay disputes with the office while working as an outside contractor, officials said.
In addition, the two suspects are the wife and daughter of a senior national police officer in the small nearby city of Astorga. He told investigators that he was in possession of his police-issued firearm, and it was not thought to have been used in the shooting, officials said.
Carrasco was walking on a pedestrian footbridge around 5 p.m. local time when shot. She collapsed and died at the scene.
Other people were in the area, including a retired national police officer, who helped lead police quickly to the suspects, who had fled, and by some accounts, threw the gun into the river below.
The search for the gun includes the river and other areas, officials said.
Tests on the hands of the two suspects have not revealed who may have fired the weapon. Officials did not immediately say what caliber or type it was.
Carrasco was walking to the Popular Party's provincial headquarters and was due to attend a campaign rally that day for the European Union parliamentary elections on May 25.
Campaigning across Spain for that election was suspended Monday and the only face-to-face debate between the conservative and opposition Socialist Party candidates was postponed from its scheduled time on Tuesday evening.
Firearms are difficult to obtain legally in Spain, and fatal shootings are uncommon.
In the northwest town of Vilagarcia de Arousa, a Socialist councilman was forced to resign late Monday after posting a comment to her Facebook page regarding the death of Carrasco that was widely deemed inappropriate, a town spokeswoman said.

There are two main ways to do a logcat, within android, and through adb.
Logcat within android can be done one of two ways, through a Logcat app:
Here are two good examples are either: aLogcat or Catlog
I prefer catlog, because in my opinion it has a little bit nicer UI. Both of these programs can dump their logs to a txt file, which is very useful for debugging. Or, you can do it in terminal emulator (same rules as running through adb(see below))
From Moscow Desire:
Just a little more info when doing logcat.
Remember, Logcat will run till you end the session. And it won't always create the file till you do so. It's possible you may not see the logfile for a minute or so.
Edit: For phones/tablets with internal storage & external sd:
(note that the location naming convention may be different depending on device)
Open your terminal app;
Type: logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt (this should create it in internal memory on the tablet)
To send to ext sd card: logcat > /mnt/external_sd/logcat.txt
I use a tablet for example Phones may have a different naming convention.
The code for logcat to output to a file is
adb logcat > name of problem.txt
adb logcat -f name of problem.txt
adb logcat -v long > name of problem.txt
Note: When outputting to a file, you will see a newline, but nothing printed, this is normal. To stop logcat from writting to a file, you need to press ctrl+c.
Here's where using logcat (via adb makes life really easy)
Lets say you find a problem you're having after looking at a logcat.
For example:
When I was trying to use a different ramdisk, wifi wouldn't work so I got a logcat that's almost 1300 lines long (a lot of stuff happens in the background)
So if you are searching for an error in the logcat file (it's always e/ for error, f/ for fatal. Those are the two main things that will break a system.)

I then could do the following with logcat:
adb logcat WifiStateMachine:E *:S -v long > name of problem.txt
In WifiStateMachine:E, the :E = to look for Errors, the full list of options is as follows:
V — Verbose (lowest priority)
D — Debug
I — Info (default priority)
W — Warning
E — Error
F — Fatal
S — Silent (highest priority, on which nothing is ever printed)
You can replace the :E with any other letter from above to get more info.
In order to filter out anything other than what you are looking for (in this case, WifiStateMachine) you must put a *:S after your last command (i.e. WifiStateMachine:E ThemeChoose:V ... ... AndroidRuntime:E *:S)

Update for windows users:
Thank go to FuzzyMeep Two, Here's what he's posted for windows
I have made a tool to simplify this for people. I will send you the .bat version, to see the validity of the file, and post the .exe for everyone else.
I made this in about a half hour, so if you fnd any issues let me know. I believe i worked out all functionality issues, and do plan on expanding functionality in the future.

Building No. 1, with the wrought-iron canopy above its door, proclaims itself to be the Moscow premises of the Muscovite vodka distiller Pyotr Smirnov. On the facade we see the signboard "Pyotr Smirnov, Purveyor to the Court of His Imperial Majesty". Very possibly you've seen Smirnov (with a 'v') vodka on sale in shops? This is the company's contemporary output.
Pyotr Smirnov built the premises at No. 1 Pyatnitskaya for both himself and his business in the mid-C19th. For many long years the rear of the building housed the distillery itself – Smirnov and his family lived on the upper floor, while the ground floor, as now, had the sales showroom. A later descendant of Pyotr's, Boris Smirnov, undertook a full-scale renovation of the building in the 2000s. Once again today, the ground floor has an elegant sales showroom, where the full range of the Smirnov company is on sale to customers. Upstairs Boris Smirnov now has his office – and over his impressive oak desk hangs a picture of his ancestor, "The Vodka King Of Russia".
The name of Pyotr Smirnov is legendary in Russian history – yet the man behind the name remains almost forgotten. Despite this, it's pleasant to notice that there are now more and more well-researched articles and books on the history of Russia's merchants and entrepreneurs, and in Smirnov's tiny home village of Myshkin, near Kolómna, there's now a Museum of Vodka. This is the rural backwater where Pyotr Smirnov was born into a Russian family of indentured serfs. Smirnov was released from serfdom by his master at the age of 30 – he moved to Moscow and sought work at a distillery. He learned the trade well, and by hard work managed to save enough money to buy the business from his employer, with its nine staff. Thirty-three years later, Pyotr Smirnov would find himself the employer of over 5000 employees.
Smirnov picked the right country to sell vodka – it's always been the favourite tipple in Russia. Pyotr Smirnov broadened his product range, with something to suit every taste and pocket – cordials, liqueurs, wines, ports, and of course vodkas – both classic and flavoured. Smirnov's success was due to the way he ran his business, which he often boasted: "Our secret is to offer the very best, made from the finest Russian ingredients, and never to cut corners or economise on top quality merchandise". His scrupulous approach to business quickly made him not only a millionaire, but the 'uncrowned Vodka King of Russia", and winner of awards at trade fairs all over Europe. He designed the bottles for his drinks himself, and had a special glass-making plant installed to supervise their consistent quality. He was obsessed with image and reputation, and designed the company's stands at trade fairs himself.
There was an occasion, at the prestigious Trade Fair at Nizhny Novgorod, when it was announced that the Emperor himself would visit Smirnov's stand. Smirnov seized the initiative, and had a special display of vodkas made in bottles corresponding to the colours of the coat-of-arms of the Royal Family – black, yellow and white. The display was then back-illuminated, to create a stunning and sophisticated effect. Viewers were astounded by the result – a predecessor of the modern 'light-box' that now dominates outdoor advertising. During the closing 25 years of the C19th, Smirnov not only sold over 100 million bottles per year – he increased the product range of his goods to over 400 different varieties.
Yet Imperial favour proved fickle. In the closing years of the C19th vodka was declared a Royal Monopoly, and Smirnov was ruined. He died soon after, leaving his legacy of millions to his five sons and three daughters. Shares in the business were divided equally among his sons. But in 1902 a conflict between the sons about the management of the business reached such heights of fury, that the business had to be closed - and its assets divided between the shareholders. After the events of 1917 one of the surviving sons sold the rights to use the family name to an American distiller, who produced "Smirnoff" vodka – spelt with "two f's" - and now is a leader in the vodka market worldwide. The sale was hotly contended by the remaining members of the family, who declared it to be illegal. The issue of how the family name is spelt in English became crucial in the resulting legal case. In 1992 the family won the right to use the name "Smirnov" - with a "v", and no f's – and to produce fine-quality vodka under this name in Russia, and also for export. The two vodkas are now quite different, and the Russian Smirnov family utterly disassociate themselves from the stuff made in the USA by their emigrant relatives. The Moscow Government has returned ownership of the house by the Cast-Iron Bridge to the Russian branch of the family.
The territories of historical district Zamoskvorechye lie on the right (southern) bank of the Moskva River. They joined Moscow in the 14th century when Russian lands used to suffer from the Golden Horde raids. The settlers mainly were soldiers, handicraftsmen and merchants. Their life was organized in a patchwork sloboda system. In 1591-1592 during the reign of Feodor I the fortified wall on the site of the present-day Garden Ring was built. Even now, one can easily understand from the street names what occupation the residents had centuries ago. For example, royal garden attendants (садовники, sadovniki) settled in the beginning of present-day Sadovnicheskaya Street from 1495 until the fire of 1701; tanners specializing in sheepskin (oвчинники, ovchinniki) gave their name to Ovchinnikovsky Lanes; royal mint workers (монетчики, monetchiki) – to Monetchikovsky Lanes, Court translators (толмачи, tolmachi) to Tolmachevsky Lanes. Bolshaya Ordynka Street was named after Orda, was the road to the Golden Horde, and was initially home to the Tatar community.
During our tour we are going to tell you about famous historic buildings in Pyatnitskaya Street, the main walking street of the district. We will walk around the State Tretyakov Gallery and listen to the story about the Tretyakovs, famous Russian businessmen, collectors and patrons of art, and the history of their collection and Gallery building.
There is also the house and museum of another famous Russian businessman and patron of art - Bakhrushin museum of theater, built in 1896.
Famous Russian writer Alexander Ostrovsky also lived in Zamoskvorechye, in Malaya Ordynka street. If you like his works you can visit his house-museum.
Zamoskvorechye is famous for its churches: Church of St. Sophia Of God's Wisdom on Gardener's Island and its belfry, Church of St. George the Victorious in Endova, The Church of the Ikon "the Joy of All Who Suffer", The Church of St Nicholas at Pyzhakh, etc. Each of them has its own history and mystery.
With Your Audio Guide you will go through all the streets and lanes, get familiar with some interesting yards, explore the legends and myths and find out the truth. You will relax on the benches of Bolotnaya square; take pictures of the Kremlin domes, Giant Peter the Great statue, river embankments, learn about the former Mamontov Hotel and super deluxe Balchug-Kempinsky.

Hey all,
I've got a Pi4 with the official power supply running Lakka (LibELEC+RetroArch) and 3 wireless USB dongle-based game controllers and a 512GB USB HDD (no power-port on that one to augment that way). When the drive gets accessed, the controllers flake out - elongation, delay, cutting out, etc. I'm pretty sure it's a power problem (amperage, not voltage - no voltage lightning bolt complaint). This even occurs on the USB2 port, so I assume it's a power issue and not that it's starving the controllers of bandwidth.
So, 2 questions:
1) Is there any way to diagnose/log USB power problems?
2) Ideas on best way to get more power? I can see three avenues:
- Powered USB hub.
- Some way to get more power on the USB ports - beefier power supply?
- Switch to an external storage that doesn't draw so much power.
I'd hate to have a rats'-nest of cables to power this thing, with a power-supply for the USB hub and another supply for the Pi4 itself, but I assume that's the only realistic option.

Polluted Runoff Control Program
The Polluted Runoff Control Program's mission is to protect and improve the quality of Hawai'i's water resources by preventing and reducing nonpoint source pollution.
In order to achieve its mission, the PRC Program updates and implements Hawai'i's Nonpoint Source Management Plan (2015-2020).
Each year, the PRC Program uses Clean Water Act Section 319(h) funds to provide grants for polluted runoff projects in Hawai'i. Please visit the 319 Grant Program page for more information.
For more information please see our PRC Viewer!
What Is Polluted Runoff?
Polluted runoff, or nonpoint source pollution, results when stormwater or irrigation water washes pollutants from the land into streams and coastal waters. When it rains, water that does not infiltrate the soil runs over the ground and carries pollutants such as sediment, nutrients (from fertilizers), bacteria (from animal waste), toxic chemicals, oil, and trash into streams, rivers, and the ocean. Polluted runoff can destroy aquatic habitats and marine life, pose public health risks, and negatively impact Hawai'i's economy and way of life, which rely heavily on water quality.
When it rains, water washes pollutants from Hawai'i's ridges to the ocean. (Kaaawa Valley, Oahu)
Polluted runoff results from our activities on the land and in the water. Sources of polluted runoff include urban areas, agriculture, and cesspools. In urban areas, roads, buildings, and parking lots often prevent rain water from soaking into the ground. This increases the volume and speed of water runoff, increases erosion, and washes pollutants through storm drains into streams and the ocean. On farms, fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and soil erosion can lead to polluted runoff problems. Cesspools, another source of polluted runoff, discharge untreated human waste directly into the ground, where it can contaminate the ocean, streams, and groundwater by releasing nutrients and disease-causing bacteria and viruses.
Stream levels can quickly rise during torrential downpours, resulting in erosion and exposed plants roots. The sediment that is washed away is a form of polluted runoff. (Waimanalo Stream, Oahu)
Watershed Planning and Polluted Runoff Control
The citizens of Hawai'i have the ability and responsibility to protect their waters from polluted runoff. The watershed planning process is one way they can become involved.
A watershed is an area of land where all of the water flows into a common body of water. Hawai'i's streams and rivers flow downhill, from the highest island ridges to the ocean, connecting the communities they flow through along the way.
A watershed-based plan is a strategy and a work plan for achieving water resource goals for a specific watershed. The watershed planning process uses a series of cooperative, iterative steps to characterize existing conditions, identify and prioritize problems, define management objectives, and develop and implement protection or remediation strategies. The PRC Program supports and coordinates watershed planning as well as total maximum daily load (TMDL) implementation activities with partner organizations.
The following document was developed to assist groups interested in developing watershed-based plans.
About the Polluted Runoff Control Program
Hawai'i's Department of Health Clean Water Branch administers the State's PRC Program. The PRC Program has evolved over the last decade under the guidance of two federal statutes:
- Clean Water Act (CWA), Section 319
- Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments (CZARA), Section 6217
Although these two federal statues are distinct, their environmental goals overlap. In an effort to integrate polluted runoff implementation activities under CWA and CZARA, Hawai'i established a single plan—Hawai'i's Nonpoint Source Management Plan (2015-2020). The Plan describes a combination of voluntary and regulatory activities and programs implemented by local, state and federal agencies intended to control polluted runoff and includes a five-year implementation plan.

MNC Financial Inc. yesterday ended its months-long search for a chief executive officer and president by announcing it had chosen Frank P. Bramble Sr., who has been one of the company's top operations executives for several years but was not directly involved in the spree of real estate lending that put the company at bankruptcy's brink.
Mr. Bramble was chief operating officer before being chosen for the top job at a meeting of the company's board Thursday afternoon. He said that he was aware he was a candidate for CEO but did not know he was getting the job until Thursday.
"We looked at a lot of good people," said MNC Chairman Alfred Lerner, who had been interim CEO since Alan P. Hoblitzell, the former chairman, resigned last year. "But even if he were an outside candidate, he would have been the best. The fact that he's an inside candidate makes it more appropriate that he get the job."
Mr. Lerner said that although Mr. Bramble is an insider, he wasn't an architect of the 1980s lending strategy that got the parent company of Maryland National Bank heavily into poor real estate loans. "He's never been on the lending side of the business," Mr. Lerner said. "That's true of a lot of good CEOs."
Instead, the 43-year-old Mr. Bramble spent much of the late 1980s managing the consolidation of American Security into MNC after the 1987 merger. Later, he directed the details of MNC's acquisition of Equitable Bancorporation. As chief operating officer, he has been in charge of the cost-reduction program the company launched in response to its loan-quality problems.
Mr. Bramble, who lives in North Baltimore, has worked for MNC since 1972.
David S. Penn, Legg Mason Inc. analyst, said the choice was logical.
"Given the job he's done in the past consolidating and cutting costs, he's probably the right guy," Mr. Penn said. "You don't need a marketing guy. You don't need a financial wizard. You need a no-nonsense guy who's willing to do what's right for the bottom line."
MNC also announced it has named Peter L. Gartman the company's chief financial officer and vice chairman of the board. Both he and Mr. Bramble were elected to the board for the first time this week.

Posthumous Pardon For Heavyweight Boxer Jack Johnson A Bipartisan Effort
Democratic Senators Harry Reid and Mo Cowan have joined Republicans John McCain and Representative Peter King to call for the pardon of former heavyweight boxing champ Jack Johnson. He was the first black fighter to win that title, in 1908. Another win in 1910 sparked race riots nationwide, and his relationships with white women only added to the controversy. He was convicted of taking women across state lines for "immoral purpose." Audie Cornish has more.

Form vs. Function in Dive Masks
Frameless vs. Frame:The lenses in frameless designs will sit closer to your eyes offering a little wider field of vision in all directions. Frameless designs are also typically lower volume than rigid frame designs. The lack of a thick rigid frame means frameless styles can be folded up very flat and easily stowed in a pocket as a 'backup' mask. Most people find that the traditional rigid frame designs offer the most stable and secure fit. Select a framed design if you are one of those rare individuals who have difficultly finding masks with a good fit.
Single vs. Double Lens: Single lens styles will normally offer a somewhat less obstructed view compared to double lens styles because of the absence of the nose bridge. However, single lens masks are typically heavier than double lens mask because there is simply more glass. Double lens styles are also usually lower volume than single lens designs. The extreme teardrop lens shapes offer better 'look down' vision, but at the expense of increased volume.
Low Volume vs. Snorkel: Divers should never use the typical 'snorkel mask' because it holds such a large air volume that it requires excessive effort to clear of water and as well as being wasteful of breathing gas. There is no 'perfect' mask, but all the masks we offer are suitable for diving and have been carefully selected to be relatively low-volume designs with good field of vision. Some low volume masks we offer are very low volume and sit very close to the face, making them a poor choice of you have a large nose or facial hair.
Frankly, the differences of frame and lens styles are very subtle in the high-quality masks offered by Dive Gear Express. Choice is largely a matter of personal preference and your experience.

I just read about Kickstarter (am I the last to know?) and I'm in love with the whole idea. It's a cool new site where anyone can pitch her brilliant idea and get grassroots funding to launch it. I'm such a fan of entrepreneurs, and I think Kickstarter is genius! Here are five cool kickstarter projects I saw this week:
– Pretty building blocklets.
– World's longest marble run.
– Vertical garden.
– Switchhooks.
– A community kitchen.
So fun! It makes me want to launch an idea/product too. How about you?

This year, Loudoun County Public Schools Foreign Language Department added two new Spanish courses for students who speak Spanish fluently. Spanish for Fluent Speakers and Spanish Language Arts are designed for students who speak their native language but do not know how to read and write it well.
Spanish for Fluent Speakers is a literacy-based program designed to meet the needs of native speakers who speak and understand the language, but are functionally illiterate, Foreign Language Department chair Suzette Whys said.
The course was created with a goal in mind, to make students more literate in their first language, to help them learn English.
"It is impossible to do in a second language what you can't do in your first language," Whys said.
In previous years, Spanish-speaking students enrolled in Spanish classes geared toward non-English speakers. Whys said these students were often bored in classes. Now, they will have the option to take a course geared toward their specific needs.
The course will be available to students in eighth through 12th grades and will be offered in 15 out of 20 of the county's secondary schools, including Dominion, Park View and Potomac Falls high schools. Approximately 350 students have registered Spanish Language for Native Speakers Level I course, a foreign language elective.
Next year, Whys hopes to add a second level course to allow students to build their literacy skills.
THE FOREIGN Language Department added a new course to Sterling Middle School's curriculum, Spanish Language Arts, to serve a similar purpose.
Spanish Language Arts will be offered to sixth- and seventh-graders who speak Spanish, but do not read and write it fluently.
"The goal is to make them fluent in two languages," Whys said.
Sterling Middle School Principal Michael Williams is excited about the new program.
"There are 10,000 Spanish speakers in Loudoun County, but very few read and write in Spanish," Williams said. "Research shows if they can read and write in their first language, they can pick up a second language more quickly."
Sterling Middle School will also offer Spanish for Fluent Speakers to its eighth-graders to prepare them for accelerated high-school Spanish classes and Advanced Placement (AP) Spanish classes.
"The goal is to take Latino people, formalize instruction to read and write in their language so they will acquire English more quickly," he said. "They will become more academically engaged."
Williams hopes these two programs will help close the school's achievement gap.
"I think these programs will help ESL students connect with other academics much more quickly," he said.
Spanish Language Arts teacher Araceis Nieves agrees with the principal.
"If they master the Spanish language skills, they can transfer it to another language," the native-Spanish speaker said.
Not only will it help them learn English, but it is another way to promote their culture, she added, and it is an asset when applying for jobs in the future.
IN ADDITION to new Spanish programs, Loudoun County Public Schools spokesperson Wayde Byard said the school system added Chinese to the curriculum this year.
The course will introduce Chinese language and culture to students. By the end of the program, students will be able to speak, read, write on a basic level.
Chinese will be offered at Harmony Intermediate School and Broad Run and Loudoun Valley high schools

The International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) is an association with organizational members. MANA is one of those members, and together with over 100 other midwifery associations from all over the world we discuss and enact strategies and policies to make midwifery a visible and viable option in maternity care across the planet. Every country is in a different state of development and has its own issues with which they are working. Together we have created position statements, international standards for midwifery education and regulation, core competencies, guidelines for professional midwifery associations, and much more. We meet as a council once every three years in a different country each time.
The Section exists to support our participation in dialog and work at the international policy level.
Who is a Member of the ICM Section
In order to be a member of the ICM Section of MANA, you must meet the ICM International Definition of a Midwife (below) which includes being credentialed by a state or nationally recognized body. All Midwife members who hold state or national credentials are automatically members of the ICM section. You are a member of the ICM Section if you are a CPM, CNM, CM, LM or RM. If you are regulated by your state with a different title that would also qualify.
Your membership supports MANA in doing this important international work. It is very costly to get representatives to an international meeting, and MANA sets aside money every year to be able to send representatives to the full council meeting every three years. A portion of your membership dues helps us achieve this goal.
Colleen Donovan Batson, Director of Health Policy and Advocacy is the ICM section Chair. Past MANA presidents, Diane Holzer and Geradine Simkins, and current president Marinah Farrell serve as Senior Advisors to the section
How the ICM Section Works
The ICM Section of MANA meets yearly at the annual conference, and all midwives and students are welcome to attend the meeting. We discuss updates on what is happening with the ICM and discuss ramifications of decisions that are going to be made. Often our Regional Representative of the Americas joins us at the meeting. It is exciting to hear the news from across the planet and realize that midwives the world over are experiencing many of the same struggles and accomplishments we are here at home. It is interesting to see how other countries embrace midwifery and how a maternity care systems can actually work very well with midwives at the helm! It is inspiring to hear stories of midwives who build an organization while their country is in the throes of war. It can be very helpful to share strategies and resources to help one another build a strong united profession worldwide
International Confederation of Midwives Definition of a Midwife
A midwife is a person who has successfully completed a midwifery education programme that is duly recognized in the country where it is located and that is based on the ICM Essential Competencies for Basic Midwifery Practice and the framework of the ICM Global Standards for Midwifery Education; who has acquired the requisite qualifications to be registered and/or legally licensed to practice midwifery and use the title 'midwife'; and who demonstrates competency in the practice of midwifery.
Scope of Practice
The midwife is recognised as a responsible and accountable professional who works in partnership with women to give the necessary support, care and advice during pregnancy, labour and the postpartum period, to conduct births on the midwife's own responsibility and to provide care for the newborn and the infant. This care includes preventative measures, the promotion of normal birth, the detection of complications in mother and child, the accessing of medical care or other appropriate assistance and the carrying out of emergency measures.
The midwife has an important task in health counselling and education, not only for the woman, but also within the family and the community. This work should involve antenatal education and preparation for parenthood and may extend to women's health, sexual or reproductive health and child care.
A midwife may practise in any setting including the home, community, hospitals, clinics or health units.
(This definition was revised and adopted in 2011)

Why you should hire a roofing company instead of DIY
Fixing a roof can be a tedious experience, and it usually costs a lot of money. Before you go to YouTube and watch a couple of tutorials, make sure to know what you are doing because people on YouTube are professionals and you are an amateur. In some cases, turning this job into a personal project can have positive effects, but in most cases, it will lead to negative consequences. So, before you decide to restore your roof by yourself, check our list of reason why you shouldn't.
The experience is the key
Depending on your profession, you might have absolutely no experience in roofing businesses and which are the best techniques to apply. Roofing experts spend years, from one to another contractor in order to learn their skills, before setting up their business. They have a license, and they know exactly how much materials client need and when it comes to valley roofing, they are pros. People who tend to turn this project into their own, have a tendency to buy much more material than needed. No amount of studying and research can give you the knowledge that experience can. You don't want your roof to become an experiment because you will feel sorry later.
A trained professional exactly knows how to deal with these situations. There are too many accidents, from falling and extreme injuries to death. When you are learning new skills, make sure to avoid all these situations and to be safe. In some cases, doing some repairs around the house if ok, but the roofing business is entirely another story. If you decide to replace the roof by yourself, make sure to have someone working alongside, so ensure the safety. On the other hand, roofing experts have the knowledge and tools needed for every situation. The equipment they use gives them an opportunity to do the repair and maintain safely.
If you were able to do it the first time, then fixing your own roof can save you a lot of money, because a significant portion of it goes into labor. On the other hand, it will take a too much of your time. If you live in a climate where the weather is unpredictable, then you don't have a luxury or time. But, most homeowners don't know what they are doing when they start repairing the roof. For people who make a major mistake, it's better to call the roofing company. This might seem like an expensive investment, but it will cost you less in the longer run.
When you buy the materials for the roof, you will probably pay more than roofing company would. It's simple; a roofing contractor probably has a signed contract will a supply company, which allows him to have discounted prices. When you go to buy the material, you are required to pay the full price. In this case, if you hire a company, it will cost you less.

Album Review: Ryan Roxie – "Imagine Your Reality"
Ryan Roxie is probably best known these days as one third of the Alice Cooper band's guitar attack along with Nita Strauss and Tommy Henriksen, but what younger readers may not know is that he's actually got a pretty decent three-decade career as a rock star in his own right. Starting off as guitarist with LA pop-rockers Candy in the mid-80s (where he shared six string duties with future G'n'R man Gilby Clarke), he stuck with them as they mutated into The Electric Angels, before moving on via stints with both Gilby Clarke and Slash's Snakepit and his own bands Dad's Porno Mag and Roxie 77 to work with the Coop.
With Alice currently concentrating on his Hollywood Vampires side project though, Roxie has taken advantage of the downtime to put a solo album out and I'm happy to report that Imagine Your Reality keeps up the high standards you'd expect from the guy. The 90 second opening track Big Rock Show lays down the manifesto nicely, zipping along on a big hands in the air chorus just in time for summer starting. It's followed up by the almost rockabilly style riff of Over And Done, before a well-chosen cover of Cheap Trick's California Man (complete with Robin Zander on guest vocals) makes you realise that this is gonna be a great soundtrack to the summer ahead.
The hits just keep on coming after that from the punked up Me Generation and Never Mind Me through the more melodic Hearts In Trouble and The Uh-Oh Song which has an almost country style vibe to it. Even when Roxie's spitting venom at crooked former accomplices on To Live And Die In LA though, he still can't help but set the words to a big stadium-sized chorus and hook which won't let you go. It's only on the closing cover of Coldplay's God Put A Smile On Your Face (which actually works better than you'd think) that he ventures into slightly darker territory, but even then, as soon as it's over I guarantee you'll be cueing this one up for a second listen.
Imagine Your Reality is a perfect album for a summer barbecue and a few cans of whatever your poison. Similar to his namesake Ryan Hamilton, Roxie is a master of creating bright sunshiny Cheap Trick style power pop with hooks the size of Greenland. For a soundtrack to the sunny months ahead, this comes highly recommended.

General information on the Rhino
The Black Rhino is one of two native rhino species to the African region. Three are native to the Asian region, but all are in the family rhinocerotidae. Three of the five are critically endangered- the Javan (the rarest of only 30-40 left in world), the Sumatran and the Black Rhino with no more than 2,700 left in the wild. The rhinoceros family are known for their size reaching up to one tonne at full growth despite having a herbivorous diet. They have thick protective skin ranging from 1.5 to 5cm thick formed from layers of collagen positioned in a lattice structure. They have a reasonably small brain (400-600g dependent on age) and are famous for their territorial horn ranging from 20cm of the Indian Rhino to a stunning 150cm of the White Rhino. All African species of Rhino have two horns unlike the Asian and Indian Rhinos, whom rely on just on horn as a sign of territorial strength. The species of African Rhino are not equipped with front teeth but have to be reliant on their powerful premolar and molar teeth to grind up plant matter as a source of vital nutrition. Despite having the ability to eat fibrous plant matter due to their strong hind gut being able to ferment this food, the rhino tends to prefer leafy material. The rhinoceros has acute hearing and sense of spell but poor eyesight, meaning exact precision is needed when it comes to territorial ground.
The Black Rhino is most numerous in Central-East parts of Africa such as Tanzania and Zambia. The distinction made between the White Rhino and the Black Rhino is the clear fact that the Black rhino appears to stand much shorter at 1.5-1.75 metres tall. There are 4 subspecies of Black Rhino situated in the South-Central, Central, Northern and Eastern regions of Africa. The South-Western subspecies of Black Rhino was officially declared extinct in 2006 by the I.U.C.N. Red List of Endangered Species. The Black Rhino is considered one of the largest in the rhino family, behind the White Rhino, reaching up to 1,800 kg in comparison to the massive 3,500 kg of a fully grown White Rhino. The Black Rhino has a specially shaped pointed mouth to pick up leaves and food, can live up to 60 years old and only having one calf every few years.
Reasons for endangerment
The Black Rhino is classed as critically endangered by the International Union of Conservation for Nature (I.U.C.N.) due to poaching for their spectacular horns made up of keratin, the same substance as fingernails, to sell on the black market for traditional Chinese medicines. Rhino's are under severe threat and face extinction within the next 20 years, if we do not act.

The African elephant is found in 37 countries in Africa, they are distinguished from Asian elephants to their much larger ears, plentiful behaviour and larger physique. Males and females of the African elephant species have horns whereas only the males have horns in their closely related Asian elephant species. The African elephant has originally been classified as a single species, but time has divided them into two different subspecies- the forest and the Savannah elephant. The Savannah elephant stands the tallest, at a height of up to 4 metres and a weight of up to 12,000 kg in comparison to a height of 3 metres and a weight of up to 4,500kg of the smaller and more rounded forest elephant.
Causes for endangerment
However both of these beautiful creatures are subject to severe threat from poaching for the illegal ivory trade, habitat destruction and traditional Chinese medicine market. It is reported that elephants are highly intelligent social creatures that create life long relationships. They cry, play and even laugh. An elephant's life span is around 50-80 years. When an elephant walks past an ivory stripped, murdered, loved one, they stop still; to sorrowfully mourn and roar. They stand vigil over the body for days, even covering it with sticks and dirt. It is estimated that poachers illegally kill 11 elephants per day. Rangers lose their lives protecting elephants against armed equipped poachers. Poachers range freely across Africa, rangers are incredibly under-staffed and under-equipped. If we do not help they will lose the battle and elephants will become extinct.

General information on the pygmy hippo
The pygmy hippo is native to the swamps and forests of Western africa, often being very illusive and difficult to study as they are a rare species of nocturnal mammals. It is predicted that due to recent human activities only 3,000 remain in the wild. The Pygmy Hippo weighs 1/4 of that of its common cousin (the common hippopatamus) weighing in at only 180 -275kg (considerably small for a hippopotamus). They can reach up to 150 cm in length and can grow up to 30-55 years old (though 50 is quite an outstanding age for this magnificent creature). Its small size leaves it vulnerable to crocodiles, pythons and other larger prdators.
It's diet consists of mainly ferns, broad leaved plants and fruit. They set out at dusk to forage for food and will,on average, spend about 6 hours foraging and eating its food. They often give birth to one calf every 210 days, only mating and giving birth in the water, as soon as the calf is born it already has the knowledge of how to swim. At birth the average baby will weigh between 4.5- 6.3 kg.
Reasons for endangerment
main reasons for the endangerment of the pygmy hippopatamus is the same for many; logging, habitat destructon to make way for farms and ranches, poaching for traditional chinese medicines and for the black market and a mix up of evolutionary patterns. The story is the same, there are 3,000 pygmy hippopatamuses left in the wild, it is up to us to save them.

Short description: They don't get much newer or fresher then 19 year old Kendra Cole. She has only been in the industry for 4 months, and is just getting started. What better way to break in a newbie then the level of training that Sexuallybroken provides? Let's get started, shall we? We have two rock hard dicks ready to give Kendra the training she so badly needs…
Shackled and blindfolded in strict wooden device bondage, Kendra is experiencing real bondage for the very first time. A leather blindfold cuts off all of her vision and a chain bolted to the floor keeps her face pussy at the perfect height for use. A vibrator is drilled into place between those tender teenage thighs. Kendra can not move away or escape the dick. Time for her to get properly pounded.
One after another, the hard cock simply walks right up and makes full use of Kendra's face. She sputters and chokes on the dick as it reshapes her throat. The cold chain holds her neck right where we want it. All the while, the vibrator is going full blast between her legs. The strict bondage, throat training and waves of pleasure aimed right at that tender cunt all serve to blast Kendra into sexual subspace. This newbie is getting the ride of her life and all she can do is hang on and try and survive.
By the time we are done with this newbie, she can not even get her eyes uncrossed. She is dazed and limp, help up only by her shackles. This starlet had no idea what she was getting into. This was top level training as only Sexuallybroken can provide. You are welcome my dear.

How do we honor Paul's pastoral advice, but not let the most easily offended among us become tyrants in the body of Christ?
1 Corinthians 8. Romans 14. These chapters have been my nightly reading many times after a controversy with my opponents on the reformed watchblogs.
How do we treat those with whom we disagree within the church, both local and universal? Who are the brothers who are "weak" in faith? How much power does their offendedness give them? How much does our understanding of the full implications of the Gospel and Christian freedom play into areas of disagreement over controversial behavior?
Romans 14 and 1 Corinthians 8 are great chapters…but a lot of trouble for me to understand at times. By trouble I mean this: Paul introduces some pastoral ideas here that are vital to both evangelism and the life of the church, but the concepts create real problems for many Christians. The common application of these passages tends to leave me thinking that something important is badly amiss.
Are those who are offended by my behavior always to be treated as right?
The crucial area for me concerns the matter of identifying those "weak" in faith. (Romans 14:1) That's Paul's terminology, not mine. Who are those who do not have "knowledge" of the full implications of Jesus Christ in a world of idols? Who is the person weak in "conscience?" Who makes that determination? (Are there name tags? "Hi. I'm Bob. Don't offend me. I'm weak in faith.")
As many of you may know, Mr Steve Hays, reputedly a brilliant student and TA at RTS somewhere and proprietor of the greatest Reformed intellectual enterprise in the blogosphere- a veritable Triple H to my lowly Sharkboy- is hammering away at my allowance of PG-13 language at the Boar's Head Tavern. To him, it proves I am Socrates and should be served hemlock asap.
For the almost four years of the BHT's existence, I have maintained- and edited accordingly- a house rule of PG-13 language. (A search of the BHT will reveal this without much trouble.) Because the BHTers are adults, and we are not a church, but a virtual tavern with no confessional bonds, I am fine with a certain level of crude, boyish language. This is not language I would use in formal address or polite company, but certainly language I would use with familiars, and not language I would be offended by if my adult children used it amongst friends. This is my choice, and I do not expect anyone else to applaud it or approve of it.
Included in Mr. Hays' exhaustive survey of the BHT's offenses are the following terms: "Ass-kickery." "BS (the acronym only)." "Pissed off." I would add that I have sometimes not edited "damn" or "hell." Any number of edited terms, with letter removed, etc., can be found.
I do not believe any of these terms are sinful. (The BHT's Jack Heald wrote an excellent post on a more detailed view of the nature of this sort of language. I recommend it) All language has context, and I do not believe it is possible to have a Biblical list of always sinful words. I do believe words- both "bad" and common- can be used sinfully. For example, here are several paragraphs from Mr. Hays' initial post about this matter.
And that's where Spencer comes in. Spencer is to pastoral ministry what Margaret Mead was to free sex and Timothy Leary was to acid.
Naturally he has a ferocious following. Young people generally prefer titular grown-ups who give them permission to dabble in sin with the blessing of an authority-figure. What you end up with is a symbiosis of evil: a gentleman's agreement in which each party looks the other way at the other party's misdeeds.
As the moderator of the BHT, Spencer is responsible for policing what is posted by his junior bloggers. But instead of acting as a conscientious shepherd who guides his flock in the ways of sanctification and the mortification of sin, Spencer is a corrupter of the young.
Hays compares me to a sexual libertine and an advocate of drugs. He calls me a "corrupter" of the young, a serious piece of slander in my world. He calls me evil. His language is powerful, and intended to offend.
None of the words of these paragraphs are "obscene" or "dirty" in Mr. Hays' definition. He could read these paragraphs in church. He could recite them in prayer at the 11 a.m. worship service. No one, other than my close relatives, would be offended.
Yet, I am now listening to a second day of lectures from Mr Hays on my allowance of the word "ass-kickery" at the BHT. For this, Hays says,
"My problem with c.t. and the Tavernistas is the way they flaunt obscenity. They go out of their way to use profanity and obscenity just to prove, I guess, how cool it is to be brazenly shameless; to prove that they are not inhibited by all those uptight Victorian hang-ups over holiness and consecration." (My Bold.)
Some might say that Mr. Hays' language, while clean, is hardly innocent. The lie at the core of them- comparing the BHT to a blogger with an unrestrained use of the worse kinds of language- is offensive, even if stated relatively politely.
Now let me tell you my initial, pastoral reaction to Mr. Hays. I am very sympathetic to what he represents. I am surrounded- literally- by people who think like he does, at least in public. I cannot tell a slightly crude joke or use a slightly crude term in my work environment, because it is likely that 70-80% of those present would be offended by any reference to sex, the human body, mildly crude language or humor. Middle school boys get no sympathy among the good people in my environment.
I respect these people. I mean, I respect them with all of my heart. I recognize that they have come to where they are in these matters by way of God's work in their own experience. They love and read the Bible. They strive to be like Jesus as they understand him, as I do. They have chosen to be members of local churches where, often, dress codes, language, movies and body decoration are very important ways of identifying true Christians. I understand this, and I respect it, whether it is the Mennonites at our local bakery or the Falwellian Fundamentalists in the Baptist churches around me.
If we found ourselves in a conversation about this- or any other of a number of issues of contention, such as movies, television, moderate use of alcohol, politics, etc.- I would disagree, and I would claim, as they would, to be representing the best understanding of scripture.
Now Mr. Hays would cite, for example, Ephesians 5:4, and would say that crude language is wrong: "Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. " (Ephesians 5:4 ESV) But this isn't a simple matter. I find scripture to be, at times, remarkably crude in its choice of language. Its sexual terms are earthy. Its descriptions of sexual activity are far from polite or restrained. Even the apostle Paul uses crude language when it suits his purpose, much more than I would allow at the BHT. The prophets are shockingly crude.
I remember a particular Sunday evening when one of our school preachers decided to speak on a prophetic passage where the adulterous spirituality of the Israelites was described in the most blatant sexual terms. It was the kind of language our students would be punished for using, and there it was in church! Was the preaching violating Ephesians 5:4?
My offended friends would be aware of Ephesians 5:4, but they would be unaware of the many crude and explicit passages of scripture throughout the Bible. They would be unaware of the nuances of the original language that are embarrassing if translated properly. I do not expect that they should know all these passages or nuances. I would not categorize them as "weak" in faith, "weak" in conscience or "without knowledge."
Though they are "offended," I would not call them weaker brethren. If I were to ridicule their immaturity, their fundamentalism or their prudishness, I would be sinning in doing so. I understand how they arrive at their conclusions and I understand why it is important to them that there be no mention of anything that isn't "G" rated.
But I believe their approach to this matter is not in line with the Gospel. I believe it seriously misunderstands the Gospel. I do not believe the man who says "hit a bull in the ass with a banjo" has done anything scripturally or morally wrong. If someone was present who was offended by such a sentence, I would judge that the presumption of charity should exceed the duty to not offend, especially where there is no moral wrong involved.
Martin Luther was a crude and earthy man. He was also a man who understood the Gospel. I believe he understood it rightly, and I believe the overly scrupulous have distorted the Christian life and misrepresented the Bible. In fact, I believe a kind of "prissiness" and prudishness seriously misrepresent the Gospel.
I do not believe human offendedness accurately represents the Biblical view of sin, nor a safe path to sanctification and holiness. When Mr. Hays says I am derelict in my views of holiness and sanctification, I simply do not agree that the bare choice to use the terms "pissed off" or "BS" make any difference in sanctification or holiness. I respect his views, but I cannot agree that to say these words in the context of banter and joking is wrong.
To proceed along these lines is a perilously wrong road, with pastoral implications that are obvious upon consideration.
When the Beatles were popular, I heard all kinds of sermons against men having "Beatles'" hairstyles. I heard many sermons against "long" hair. Was this an encouragement to sanctification? If it was determined that these weaker brothers were genuinely offended, should the church adopt their views?
What if I am offended by women singing in the praise band? What if the lack of a suit and tie on the preacher offends me? What about the senior adult who is genuinely offended by the preacher's jokes or the absence of hymns? What if Mr. Hays' post offends me?
Should those offended by the clothes, humor and choices of others in the church be the conscience of the church? Does their offendedness, even if it is far from knowledge and absent any relation to the Gospel, constitute the path that must be taken? Are offended bloggers right to publicly "fisk" and denounce those with whom they share no confession or formal fellowship?
If Mr. Hays, or others, are offended that I allow grown Christian adults to use language that grown Christian adults can use, that the Bible uses and that is not wrong my any measurement other than obvious intent to offend, am I to adopt Mr. Hays' views as my Christian duty? Is his offendedness now the "high" road of "holiness?" Or is he demonstrating the "weakness" that Paul wrote about with brothers who were afraid to eat a meal associated too closely with a pagan culture?
My take on Romans 14 particularly is that Mr. Hays, who is knowledgeable and is scripturally literate, is under a clear admonition to let me and the BHT stand before God on our own. Our faith is our own. It stands before God. The duty of Mr. Hays to avoid the offense of reading the BHT for his own conscience and faith's sake is clear. His option to point out to a brother his perceived error is clear, as is the manner in which it ought to be done. But there is no permission for him to pass judgement in this area (and to do so in terms that are, themselves, obscene) where there is nothing more to go on than Mr. Hays' personal definition of offense, profanity and obscenity, all definitions with which I respectfully disagree as a brother in Christ.
Further, it is not the Christian duty of this blog or the BHT to abstain from all language or topics that might "offend." To do this would be to drain the faith of its truthful edge, and to emasculate our communities- real or cyber- into pretenses of polite agreement. Does someone think that honest people could not see through such a facade? I believe the "offense" Paul is concerned about is not "ticking someone off," but discouragement of a sort that would result in abandonment of the faith. The "offended brother" is to be taken into consideration to the extent the offense may cause him to abandon the Gospel, but not in a way that makes the weakest, most sensitive, most overly scrupulous and easily offended person into the most powerful person in a fellowship.
For example: Let's say I am preaching, and I use illustrations from movies. What if I get a letter from a fellow staff member that says they are offended by the illustrations I use of movies I have seen. Many of these movies, they say, are PG-13 and contain sex and bad language that our students shouldn't see. When I use an illustration from, let's say, "Titanic," I offend this staff member.
Is it correct that I now stop using movie illustrations? Alright. I switch to novels, and soon get the same letter about a writer I mentioned whom my letter writer knows to write books with profanity and some premarital sex. So I stop using illustrations from books. I now use illustrations from television programs, and receive a similar letter about the evils of television. I refer to sports, and the letter writer tells me that sports distracts from church and many athletes are bad role models.
If I make the choice to "not offend," I will be left with no illustrations. My sermons have been commandered by the offended. Now I want to write a letter, because I am offended. I'd like some clout, too.
Imagine the fun we will have when I preach from Leviticus 18, and I get a letter saying my sensitive friend is offended by all the sex. The Bible is now offensive. What is left? Chicken Soup for the Sensitive Soul?
Is Paul recommending that the Christian community become a nanny state run by those who are empowered by real and perceived wrongs? Will the most offended become the most influential? There are disturbing aspects to this that can already be seen in the reorientation of many churches to not "offend" seekers. The Bible fades in importance and the preferences of those most distant from the faith become the favored expression of the faith.
The Corinthian Church, that received chapter 8 of that first epistle, was a hive of whining, division, complaining and immature insistence on their own way. Paul did not apply the force of the principle at hand to empowering the least mature elements of the church. He risked offending them all for the sake of the Gospel, and even threatened to come to them with a stick, if necessary.
I will not be standing before Mr. Hays on the day of judgement. As Romans 14 declares, I will stand before God on my own, yet in Christ alone. My writing on IM and my moderation of the BHT are an expression of my faith in Christ, which Romans 14 plainly states is not to be judged by those who differ with me on incidentals. While Mr. Hays may find me an evident reprobate or apostate because I allow Josh the Lutheran to say "ass-kickery," my own experience with Jesus in the Gospels leaves me with the assurance that my savior is not a divine nanny, and the path to holiness is to read all of the Bible through Christ and to live out the Bible in Christ. While I appreciate the sincerety of my critic, we will differ on this matter.

Video captures moment sick seal Sammy rescued from dock
PUBLISHED: 19:02 31 August 2018 | UPDATED: 11:47 03 September 2018
Helen Stoddard
Community members from Canary Wharf and the Isle of Dogs came together to save a seal that looked unwell in the nearby docks.
Helen Stoddard noticed alerts on the morning of August 28 on a community Facebook group about Sammy the seal looking unhappy and unwell.
With help from Docklands Sailing and Watersports Centre (DSWC), who provided a boat, the group were able to locate the seal near the side of Millwall Inner Dock.
The 50-year-old said: "We got to her at around 11.30am, and she was still there, looking extremely unwell and was not fully opening her eyes."
After informing the RSPCA, British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) and the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), Ms Stoddard and others continued to monitor the seal.
The next day, community members posted another video on Facebook of members of the RSPCA monitoring the seal.
As they grew increasingly concerned at the plight of the seal, some people who had gathered at the scene managed to bring a forklift to the site to help in the rescue operation.
Ms Stoddard said: "This took some time, and it was nail-biting stuff as it could easily have become frightened and moved away. After some time they did manage to get it into the bag safely; get the straps through the handles and the straps onto the forks of the forklift."
At 6.20pm the seal was in an RSPCA van on her way to treatment.
Ms Stoddard thanked people from Ballymore Group, Galliard Homes, Kelly Group and the Docklands Sailing and Watersports Centre for providing the necessary watercraft.
She made a plea for people to prevent the docks from becoming blighted with litter and plastics.
"I also strongly wish that people, and the organisations responsible, would do more to clean up the plastic and litter that seems continually to blight the docks, the surrounding areas and the streets," she said.
"If the seal has not become unwell because of disease, has she done so from ingesting plastic? Sadly, it is not at all unlikely."

Take the Bull by the Horns with Wild Toro slot by ELK Studios
For all those corrida fans, ELK Studios, a game development company specialised in building mobile casino games, brings a fierce bullfighting game which will offer us pure fun and enjoyment.
New slot filled with interesting characters spread across five reels and four columns, has even 178 ways to win and many special features which will surely be an excellent choice for all high and low bidders since it can land you up to $225,000.
What we like
What we definitely like the most about this game is Toro, not only a raging bull but also a loveable beast that earns our respect and admiration fighting the sleek Matador.
It is definitely enticing to be siding with the bull and help him knock the cruel Matadors out of the reels, not to mention all the special features that the bull brings to the game.
Toro has two modes, the Walking Wild that goes from left to right and each time it lands on the fifth reel it will move to the next reel giving you a re-spin for every reel move. You will get 4 re-spins in total as the feature lasts until the Toro reaches the first reel, when all of your winnings will be accumulated.
>>> Play Wild Toro Slot Now – CLICK HERE <<<
When Matador appears on the grid, the bull turns into Wild Toro, raging and knocking matadors of the table.
This particular feature called the Toro Goes Wild is presented in a brilliant innovative touch which brings visual excitement and enticement to the table. Additionally, the Toro Goes Wild is a rewarding feature offering substantial amounts which can amass to whopping $225,000.
We also appreciate the fact Wild Toro is a fitting tribute to Spanish corrida with suitable graphics filled with classic details and accompanied by the fairly impressive soundtrack. The taste of Spain will hit you from the first beat, adding great spice to game's dynamics as well.
What we do not like
Wild Toro features simple, yet quite distinctive and fairly engaging features which bring great fun but substantial rewards as well to all the players who decide to join the corrida.
We have been overly impressed with ELK Studios' latest title and if we had to talk about the game's shortcomings, than it would definitely have to be the affordability.
The game offers great amount worth $225,000, but you will hardly ever achieve it without investing the top bet of $100. The amount can be quite pricey for the majority of players who are beginners or casual gamers and that is one – and arguably the only – shortcoming to this engaging title.
Worth playing?
Joining the corrida for a round of bullfighting spins will prove to be well worth your time and money. The game houses distinctive features and fun details fitted inside the five reels of this latest ELK Studios release.
It is not too often that we get to see a moving Wild and in the shape of a bull, which is a detail that gives great value – both rewards-wise and in visual sense of the word. Have a spin or two and you won't regret it. We guarantee it.
