UIT encourages shared responsibility for Internet security
October is
National Cyber Security Awareness Month
(NCSAM). The theme for this year is �The Internet is a Shared Resource and Securing it is Our Shared Responsibility.� National Cyber Security Awareness Month is about everyone doing their part to make sure our online lives are kept safe and secure.
UH is an official endorser of NCSAM, which in partnership with the
National Cyber Security Alliance
is sponsored annually by the
Department of Homeland Security
and the
Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center
NCSAM emphasizes security as �our shared responsibility." No one individual, business or government entity is responsible for securing cyberspace. Everyone has a role. That's why the organization teaches that a simple action for everyone to use to stay safer and more secure online is to �Stop. Think. Connect.�
During October, the UIT Security team encourages UH faculty, staff and students to take steps to be safe and secure online, both on campus and at home.
UIT Security will be unveiling an updated website at
on Thursday, Oct. 11, that will highlight helpful tips to stay ahead of security issues such as phishing, identity theft and malware. Information regarding other security issues such as legal downloading and good password management practices also will be available.
To help encourage users to think about security, UIT Security is asking to share their best security tips at
for a chance to win one of five gift cards to be given away at the end of October.
Anyone who likes the UH IT Facebook page or follows UH IT on Twitter and shares a security tip will be entered in a drawing to win a $100 Best Buy gift card. Your tip may also be featured on the UIT Website.
UIT Security staff is available to attend department or organizational meetings to give a presentation or have a discussion about security issues. Email
to schedule a representative from UIT Security to attend your next meeting.

You do get the torsion 1-form by locally gauging only T4, because the tetrad is the torsion 1-form. The torsion 2-form is what gives the gap in the parallelogram. It is what gives the contortion tensor addition to the Levi-Civita connection. Remember torsion gaps are translational defects. Curvature is a disclination defect - i.e. change in orientation of a vector around a small parallelogram - that won't close if there is a curl in the torsion 1-form.torsion gap 2-form = D(tetrad) = d(tetrad torsion 1-form) + (spin connection 1-form)/(tetrad torsion 1-form)IMPOSE BY HAND ad-hoctorsion gap 2-form = 0this still permits a spin-connection given bythat CAN have a non-vanishing curl, i.e. a curvature 2-form =/= 0R(curvature 2-form) = D(spin connection) = d(spin connection) + (spin connection)/(spin connection) =/= 0I admit this is very tricky conceptually.Locally gauging SO1,3 is redundant I suppose. The key group is T4(x).Suppose we have a matter spinor field A in the presence of gravity the covariant derivative operator on the spinor field is symbolicallyDu = (tetrad)T4(generator) + (spin-connection)SO1,3(generator)i.e., Du = eu^IPI + wu^I^JPIJ in the LNIF where I,J are the LIF indices.where PI, PIJ generate the Poincare group Lie algebra.We also need the Dirac 4x4 gamma matrices in the LNIFs(gamma)^u = e^uI(gamma)^I + w^uIJ[(gamma)^I,(gamma)^J]Then the absolute invariant operator D slash = D/ isD/(LNIF) = (gamma)^uDu =/= D/(LIF)On Dec 31, 2010, at 2:10 PM, Paul Zielinski wrote:That's not true. Locally gauging T4 naturally permits torsion.I said you don't get torsion by locally gauging T4. Is that not correct? Torsion is the dislocation defect - the gap in closing a parallelogram where one edge is parallel transported about the other. You have to impose zero torsion 2-form as an adhoc constraint and you still can get disclination curvature because you can have a spin connection determined from the tetrads that has a non-vanishing covariant curl with itself. It's very tricky I admit.Then why do you need to gauge the full Poincare group to get Einstein-Cartan?
On Gravity & Accelerated Frames Synge identified the actual gravitational field of GR with non-vanishing Riemann curvature. Fine, nothing wrong with that. However, Einstein's critics simply quibbling because Einstein was talking about Newton's idea of "gravity force" trying to show how his new idea fitted in with Newton's in the appropriate limit of small speeds of test particles and weak curvature fields. Also some Pundits mess up by not being clear that Newton's "inertial frame" is Einstein's "static LNIF"! On Dec 31, 2010, at 8:37 AM, Paul Zielinski wrote:I say that locally gauging *passive* T4 in Minkowski spacetime cannot possibly give you a curved connection field. All it can give you is GCTs and a "flat space" covariant derivative, an analog of the LC covariant derivative in flat spacetime. Jack: Red Herring - no one makes that claim. Look at the analogous problem in U1 electromagnetism. Start with a spinor field. You need global U1 to get conserved electric charge q Noether's theorem. But you need U1 --> U1(x) to get Maxwell's equations F = dA dF = 0 d*F = &J(q) from the INVARIANT ACTION S PRINCIPLE &S(spinor field, A) = 0 Similarly in GR Global T4 gives CONSERVED total energy-momentum of the SPINOR FIELD. T4 ---> T4(x) gives the TETRAD field similar to A in EM. &S(spinor, TETRAD) = 0 gives Einstein's Guv + kTuv = 0 as shown in detail by Kibble 1962 I think. Note the spin connection determined by the tetrads and the ad hoc constraint of zero torsion - that restricts us to T4(x).I think Kibble's T4 was passive. The resulting gauge connection field simply compensates for curved coordinate artifacts. Locally gauging passive T4 just gives you GCTs, which produce coordinate artifacts in tensor field derivatives that are corrected for by the gauge connection field. Then the gauge connection field is treated as a gravitational field per the Einstein principle -- watch that pea! No Z, you are missing the physics here. Kibble's T4 --> T4(x) is completely PHYSICAL active Alice and Bob are LOCALLY COINCIDENT Alice is LIF, Bob is LNIF, they both measure the same ds^2 ds^2(Alice) = ds^2(Bob) Tetrads map Alice's data to Bob's data & vice versa. LC is not merely a FORMAL passive artifact - it describes the "WEIGHT" felt on any object clamped to the LNIF. On Dec 31, 2010, at 8:37 AM, Paul Zielinski wrote: On Thu, Dec 30, 2010 at 12:21 PM, JACK SARFATTI wrote: Fock's vague remark on the "uniformity" of space is unintelligible to me.He says exactly what he means in his book, and in lectures on gravity published in Rev Mod Phys in 1957:http://www.deepdyve.com/lp/american-physical-society-aps/three-lectures-on-relativity-theory-vGK2dKg9ZK"Uniformity of space" is a physical symmetry of spacetime. Not to be confused with covariance. Both the uniformity of Minkowski spacetime and the non-uniformity of Riemannian spacetime have generally covariant descriptions. So this has nothing to do with covariance, contrary to what Einstein once believed. That was the position that Fock was arguing against. OK, I think this is a Red Herring whose proper solution is well known today. Of course all theories can be made covariant under general coordinate transformations T4 ---> T4(x) as you say. That is necessary, but not sufficient. The additional condition we need is the EEP that formally is expressed as for COINCIDENT LIF & LNIF ds^2(absolute local frame invariant) = guv(LNIF)e^u(LNIF)e^v(LNIF) = nIJ(LIF)e^I(LIF)e^J(LIF) e^u(LNIF) = (tetrad)^uIe^I(LIF) Synge keeps confounding the two different meanings of "gravitational field" as 1) Newton's g-force and 2) Einstein's curvature. Since EEP only deals with 1) of course its irrelevant to 2) - trivial and exactly as it should be.Synge identified the actual gravitational field of GR with non-vanishing Riemann curvature. Fine, nothing wrong with that. However, Einstein's critics simply quibbling because Einstein was talking about Newton's idea of "gravity force" trying to show how his new idea fitted in with Newton's in the appropriate limit of small speeds of test particles and weak curvature fields. Also some Pundits mess up by not being clear that Newton's "inertial frame" is Einstein's "static LNIF"! e.g. an accelerating LNIF in zero curvature Minkowski spacetime is equivalent to a static LNIF in a non-zero curvature field - where it is understood that no direct measurement of curvature is made. Also the acceleration can be arbitrary it need not be constant! The flip side of above is that a LIF in a non-zero curvature field is equivalent to a LIF in a zero curvature field - again no curvature measurement. But notice both of the above statements compare detectors far apart from each other e.g. on on Earth other far away in space. The real statement of the EEP is the purely LOCAL tetrad map for locally coincident LNIF & LIF ds^2(absolute local frame invariant) = guv(LNIF)e^u(LNIF)e^v(LNIF) = nIJ(LIF)e^I(LIF)e^J(LIF) e^u(LNIF) = (tetrad)^uIe^I(LIF)He considered the "displacement field strength" LC^u_vw(x) to be purely a matter of the choice of reference frame. No kidding, so do I. I have been telling you this now for years. One facet of EEP is that a LNIF in Minkowski spacetime with constant proper acceleration ~ g00^-1/2(LC)^ztt along the z-axis is locally equivalent to a static LNIF in an appropriate curvature field. It is understood that measurements of the curvature tensor are excluded. Synge confuses a static LNIF with an "inertial frame."He does? Where? Newton's "inertial frame" is Einstein's "static LNIF" - explaining part of a general confusion among the Pundits. Note that curvature is measured as geodesic deviation on pairs of closely spaced force-free test particles.I don't think Fock or Synge were confused about that. Again a lot of Pundits have lost sight of the simple physical idea because they get lost in the pipe dreams of too much pure mathematics with a huge amount of excess off-topic formal baggage.Before Kretschmann, Einstein believed that general covariance meant general relativity. That is what Fock was arguing against. Fock's position was that once this error is exposed, the term "general relativity" ceases to have meaning, and should no longer be used. The principle of relativity is that of objective invariance.Well then you actually agree with Fock. You are not saying that relativity <=> coordinate covariance. So what's the problem? Alice and Bob measure the same pattern of events out there. They each compute a set of invariant numbers from their independent data according to the program that is the theory. If their numbers agree in many tests then we know 1) the theory is good 2) their measurements are good. Bob and Alice can also agree on the objective translational uniformity (or non-uniformity) of spacetime.So you do in fact agree with Fock. 1905 SR is only good when Alice and Bob are inertial observers in flat spacetime.But it can be extended to accommodate accelerating frames in a globally flat spacetime. This has nothing to do with gravity -- no gravitational sources. This is simply a matter of general covariance. The spacetime is still "uniform". Of course we have tested 1905 in our static LNIFs on Earth's surface. We get away with it because gravity effects are weak compared to the v/c effects in our high energy machines. If we do right kinds of measurements e.g. Pound-Rebka Harvard Tower gravity redshift, and also now our GPS system, we see the small GR corrections to 1905 SR.Fine. This is a (local) correspondence principle. The local gauge principle applies to gravity as well as to the electromagnetic-weak-strong interactions in a general way with important differences of detail owing to the EEP (Einstein Equivalence Principle).Which is *not* Einstein's version of EP. This is a shell game with misnomers for peas! Gravity determines the universal inertial geodesic motions of all particles.And since the geodesics are covariantly determined by the geodesic equation, this has nothing to do with the choice of coordinates. Red Herring, no one claimed that ever. Forces push massive particles off timelike geodesics. Therefore gravity is not a force because it is the dynamical background needed to define "force" in the old Newtonian way. "Interaction" is better than "force" if you want a unified field theory.I think everyone agrees on that. Einstein's 1916 GR is simply the local gauging of global translation subgroup T4 to T4(x).I'm not sure why you think this is so "simple". Gauge gravity is still regarded as controversial by many. Einstein said he thought two things were infinite, the universe and human stupidity. He added he had his doubts about the universe.But yes you can generate a gauge connection field that is formally analogous to the torsionless connection field of 1916 GR by locally gauging passive T4 in a Minkowski spacetime. Alice and Bob may now each be in arbitrary motion either LIF or LNIF. However, when they test GR they must be in LOCAL COINCIDENCE because of the possibility of curvature, which means anholonomic path dependence. Therefore, there is no unique way compare their invariants when they measure the SAME local differential ds^2, or when they measure the local electromagnetic field Fuv for example.But isn't that the point of the unique metric compatible LC connection? That it uniquely "connects" one LNIF with another in curved spacetime? Allowing covariant differentiation of vector and tensor fields on curved Riemannian manifolds independently of the curved geometry? We have three possibilities when they are LOCALLY COINCIDENT (neglect internal U1, SU2, SU3 - a fourth possibility). Alice and Bob are both LIFs - SO(1,3) group Alice is LIF and Bob is LNIF - tetrad group Alice is LNIF and Bob is LNIF - T4(x) group also with the fancy name of "active Diff4" of Rovelli's Fig. 2.4I think Kibble's T4 was passive. The resulting gauge connection field simply compensates for curved coordinate artifacts. Locally gauging passive T4 just gives you GCTs, which produce coordinate artifacts in tensor field derivatives that are corrected for by the gauge connection field. Then the gauge connection field is treated as a gravitational field per the Einstein principle -- watch that pea! I say that locally gauging *passive* T4 in Minkowski spacetime cannot possibly give you a curved connection field. All it can give you is GCTs and a "flat space" covariant derivative, an analog of the LC covariant derivative in flat spacetime. Shipov's and Waldyr's ideas seem to be related.Start with Einstein-Cartan i.e. localize Poincare group to get a bigger affine connection with the T4(x) GCT contortion tensor added to the Levi-Civita-Christoffel connection- better yet localize the de Sitter group with a local /(x) vacuum energy field. Even better do a conformal group extension of de Sitter with the dilaton and the hyperbolic const g special conformal boosts.If you locally gauge the active Poincare group you get a gauge connection field with torsion. Starting with tetrad frame fields instead of coordinate frames yes you end up with the Einstein-Cartan formalism. You are parroting back what I have told you. OK Add teleparallel constraint that the total curvature is zero. Therefore, the 1916 Einstein curvature is expressed in terms of the T4(x) torsion gap dislocations on Kleinert's world crystal lattice. If the Einstein-Hilbert action density linear in Ricci scalar R is quadratic in the torsion 2-forms then we have a spin 1 Yang-Mills type theory of gravity that should be unitary and renormalizable if quantized in the usual way.I think Kibble's method locally gauges passive T4 in Minkowski spacetime. To me this just seems like a fancy way of generating GCTs. I find your perception bizarre - this "fancy way" is profoundly beautiful and unifies gravity with the other interactions - though gravity is not a force in the way electromagnetic Lorentz force is.Of course an LC-type connection in flat spacetime will then correct for curved coordinate artifacts in tensor field derivatives which, according to his version of EP, Einstein regarded *in a certain sense* as physically equivalent to a real gravity field. But you are still just constructing a connection field that corrects for coordinate artifacts. Which is exactly what covariant derivatives are all about, regardless of whether or not you use local gauging to arrive at the connection field. So what? Quibble, quibble, quibble. Excess verbal baggage

Then, we have shown that this force equation can be rewritten in terms of magnitudes related to either the teleparallel or the Riemannian structures induced in spacetime by the presence of the gravitational field. In the first case, it gives a force equation, with torsion playing the role of force. In the second, it gives the usual geodesic equation of general relativity. The main conclusion is that scalar matter is able to feel any one of the above spacetime geometries, the teleparallel and the metric ones. Furthermore, both descriptions are found to be completely equivalent in the sense that they give the same physical trajectory for a spinless particle in a gravitational field."

WWDC 2013: Apple unveils iOS 7, iTunes Radio, Mavericks
SAN FRANCISCO -- There was so much high-tech eye candy on stage at Apple's (AAPL) developers conference Monday that the Moscone West audience seemed to be riding a collective sugar high.
More than 5,000 developers feasted on a slideshow smorgasbord of brightly colored displays and gee-whiz features from the new iOS 7 software that will soon power millions of iPhones and iPads around the world. And while this software-centric confab elicited few of the fireworks that accompany Apple product launches, CEO Tim Cook and his blue-jeaned lieutenants wowed the crowd at the 24th annual Worldwide Developers Conference with a steady string of cool new upgrades.
"Our goal is to make great products that enrich peoples' lives," Cook told an almost punch-drunk crowd that showered the CEO with adoration befitting a rock star. "These are the values that drive us. They're reflected in our products over the years, and they're reflected in the products we're announcing this morning."
While Apple, as expected, did unveil an ad-supported music-streaming feature called iTunes Radio, as well as a new MacBook Air and an upgraded operating system for its Mac line of desktop and laptop computers, most of the two hours were devoted to multiple innovations in Apple's mobile operating system.
This significant software design should give Apple fans three new things: more power, more battery life, and less navigational "friction" as they continue to incorporate mobile devices in their daily lives.
"This transition from iOS 6 to 7 is quite significant in terms of creating a brand new user interface," said analyst Ben Bajarin with Creative Strategies. "This is a fundamental rethink of design and functionality and it's much more consumer-friendly. It's a great foundation for Apple to build upon."
On stage, Apple executives said much the same thing with their trademark greatest-show-on-earth enthusiasm. Beginning with the opening video, in which Apple creative guru Jony Ive provided a voice-over homage to making products more simple and elegant, the presentation was filled with Cook's pronouncements of how much users will love, love, love iOS 7, which is set to be released in the fall.
And judging by the repeated peals of applause from the developers, they may be right. The audience reaction to features in both iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks, the new operating system for the Mac coming this fall, was high and often off the chart. Siri, the voice-activated digital assistant, will be even smarter, the company said, and sport a much more human-sounding voice. Call up the North Pole on the iPhone's weather app and you'll see falling snow in the background. The camera will now switch from video to still to panoramic mode simply with the swipe of a finger.
In one of the more widely expected announcements, Apple's senior vice president Eddy Cue unveiled the company's new music-streaming service called iTunes Radio. The service, which will compete with similar services from Pandora, Spotify and Google (GOOG), will be free to users but ad-supported. An ad-free version will be available to iTunes Match subscribers who pay an annual fee of $24.99.
Calling it the "best music player we have ever done," Cue said the service will start in the United States before being unveiled in other countries. Much like its rivals, the service will allow users to create their own stations and share them with friends.
Even though many still question whether Apple without Steve Jobs can continue to truly innovate -- and tellingly the company has gone months now without a significant new product launch -- the show Monday seemed to be channeling Jobs' kid-in-a-candy-store excitement about everything Apple touches.
Following the announcement of the new Mac operating system, named Mavericks after the world-famous surfing spot off Half Moon Bay, it was the unveiling of iOS 7 that provided the biggest bang of the morning.
Analyst Avi Greengart with New Jersey-based Current Analysis was on hand for the show and he said users will be blown away by the new iOS 7 features, starting with the way the iPhone's home screen appearance will magically change as the user moves the gadget around, enabling the viewer to essentially "look behind" the icons.
"That tilt factor will provide a very pleasing initial reaction that'll be huge," he said. "But the true and more important improvements to OS 7 are the multitask feature, which will keep apps running in the background and allow users to swipe back and forth instead of having to go back to the home page as you do now. That's a real pain point for people."
Among the other iOS 7 features revealed by Apple's software chief Craig Federighi is the ability to swipe the screen to do things like access the control panel and adjust the screen's brightness level. But as Greengart pointed out, "the key here is not just the new features in and of themselves, but the ease with which you'll be able to move around the iPhone.
"That will appeal to the hard-core power users," he said. "And it'll appeal to my mother."

"I don't really give a damn whether it disturbs you or not. You can take [your concerns] and go straight to hell and take Obama with you. I don't give a shit. If you don't like it, don't come down my street."
I had to let this one stew for a little while…y'all.
So, some asshole in Texas decided to make a statement by "lynching" an empty chair. The empty chair is a pretty obvious reference to Clint Eastwood's embarrassing improv at the Republican National Convention (I like Clint and think he's a hell of an actor and director, so it was really painful to watch clips of him arguing against a straw man and losing). The rope? Well, that's a pretty obvious symbol too.
What now? Did he do anything illegal? No, I don't think he did. He has a right to be a racist jackass and let the world know what a buffoon he is. Is he being offensive? Sure, but there's no right that protects us from being offended. As long as he's doing this on his own property and he isn't directly threatening anyone, I think this probably counts as protected speech.
One doofus, of course, isn't a huge deal, even if he is committing truly epic acts of stupidity. Over at the Temple of The Perpetually Victimized White People, of course, they're very supportive of this particular doofus. They want to start an "empty chair" campaign.
That's where it gets weird to me. What happened to shame and ridicule? The check and balance against racist assholes is that society-at-large will point their finger at said assholes and laugh and laugh and laugh until the asshole trudges back into his cave. When did supporting offensive acts become acceptable? This reminds me of the Chick-fil-A brouhaha. It was one thing for their owner to remark that he was taking his customers' money and using it to fight efforts to provide equal rights for a minority. It was quite another when people proudly lined up at Chick-fil-A expressly to _support_ the repression of rights. That's messed up.
On a tangential, but serious, note: At what point does this kind of speech become a hate crime? The symbolic nature of an act does matter. It's one thing to set a log on fire on you're neighbor's lawn. It's another to burn a cross on the lawn of a black family. Materially, they're the same thing, but it would be obtuse to ignore the symbolic nature of the act. So…hanging a chair in one's own lawn. I think that's probably ok in a strictly legal sense. Hanging an effigy of the President? Again, I think you're ok. Hanging a generic black man? I'm not certain that doesn't qualify as an attempt to threaten and/or intimidate in a way that crosses the line. Doing the same thing but in a public space as opposed to on your own property? Yeah, you're well over the line at that point.
At least, that's my take on it. Hate crime laws are (legitimately, I think) subject to slippery-slope concerns. There's a subjectivity to them that makes them easy to abuse, at least in theory. But, pretending that there isn't an obvious, coercive "message" in certain acts is equally problematic. If anyone has any thoughts on the subject, I'm all ears.
Dirty Harry
"I don't really give a damn whether it disturbs you or not. You can take [your concerns] and go straight to hell and take Obama with you. I don't give a shit. If you don't like it, don't come down my street."

Shimla, Nov 22 (IANS) A Himachal Pradesh court Saturday gave time till Dec 20 to senior bureaucrat Subhash Ahluwalia, who was booked by the vigilance bureau last month on corruption charges, for filing a reply to the bureau's application seeking to conduct a narco test on him.
'Special Judge S.L. Gupta gave time till Dec 20 for filing a reply to the application moved in a special court by the bureau seeking to conduct a narco test on Ahluwalia,' said a bureau official.
'The judge adjourned the case as the defendant sought more time to file his reply,' the official added.
Ahluwalia and his wife, Meera have been booked in a disproportionate assets case. A 1989 batch Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer, Ahluwalia was arrested by the vigilance bureau from his residence in Haryana's Panchkula town Oct 8. The Himachal Pradesh High Court later granted him bail.
During the raids at Ahluwalia's residence, the vigilance sleuths seized documents, including several fixed deposit receipts, bank papers and share certificiates. A laptop and desktop computer were also seized.
The bureau also unearthed 16 bank accounts with more than Rs.13.4 million in the name of the Ahluwalias.
It has also made assessment of properties owned by the Ahluwalias in Shimla, Panchkula, Kansal near Chandigarh and Gurgaon.
During the previous government, Ahluwalia was private secretary to the chief minister for over four years.

text: Commentary on Romans 12:9-21 Mark Reasoner | 1 CommentFacebook-twitter-g+-LinkedIN-EmailPrint Just as Paul cannot help breaking out in poetic tribute to love in his famous love chapter, 1 Corinthians 13, after beginning the subject of spiritual gifts in 1 Corinthians 12, so also he does the same in Romans 12.After discussing how God has gifted various church members with faith appropriate for different roles in the church, Paul offers a poetic composition on how love reaches for the common good in the church. Our translations do not catch all the words that have love in the opening verses of this section. The section begins with the heading, Let love be genuine. This is as if to say, Love others authentically and genuinely! The next verse, Romans 12:10, literally begins by saying, In brotherly/sisterly love be lovingly affectionate. Of course many of the specific commands give practical, detailed ways for loving others. Verse 13 ends with the phrase pursuing hospitality, but Paul's word for hospitality is literally love of stranger. So there is a lot of love language here! Our example for how to love is Jesus. Paul's words to bless those who persecute you, bless and do not curse in verse 14 sound a lot like what Jesus says in Matthew 5:44, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, or what he says in Luke 6:28, Bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. There are other allusions to sayings of Jesus in the rest of chapter 13, and Jesus' love for others at the cross is stressed in Romans 15:1-3. So Paul is hinting that to love genuinely is to love as Jesus loved. And our paragraph doesn't just say "Love others more," it describes very specific behaviors for loving others. Did you know that good distance runners don't just play general messages in their minds like "Relax!" or "Stay loose!" while running? Instead, good runners play very specific messages over and over in their minds, like "Let lower lip sag!" or "Feel how loose my fingers are right now!" These specific messages help their whole body to relax and stay loose. It is the same with Paul's ideas for genuine Christ-like love in Romans 12:9-21. He is giving us very specific ideas for authentic love. For example, he says, "Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep" (12:15), or "If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all" (12:18). Another very specific idea for love is found in the quotation from Proverbs 25:21-22 to feed and give something to drink to hungry and thirsty enemies. Of course, this does not endorse playing along with abusive strategies that arise in some dysfunctional relationships. It means to think about and to help meet others' genuine needs, including the needs of people who do not like us. But what's the point of the result; "By doing this you will heap burning coals on their heads" (Romans 12:20; Proverbs 25:22)? Students of this text differ regarding whether this means that by doing good to an enemy you will increase God's judgment on the person or whether it means that by doing good you will help the person repent. The latter is much more likely, since it fits with the profound theme in this immediate section that we are not to have any part in repaying evil in our personal relationships and it fits with the overarching theme that love is to be genuine. My love for an enemy isn't genuine if I am motivated by the idea that any kindness shown increases God's punishment on the person! Genuine love is the deepest theme in this section of Romans. At a more surface level, there is a theme of good and evil that operates throughout this text. Notice how "hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good" follows immediately after the opening title of "Let love be genuine." Then the good and evil theme is explicitly mentioned at the end of the text: "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" (12:21). This helps us see that genuine love is not just being nice to people. Genuine love has a moral orientation toward the good. When we show love toward someone, we are moving them toward God's goodness. To love someone is not simply to cater to specific likes and dislikes of that person. It is rather to act toward them in ways that help them experience more of God's goodness. In the following chapter, there is a parenthetical explanation of how God can use government to repay evil for evil. But the idea of genuine love that Paul begins with in 12:9 continues to operate through Paul's emphasis on the love commandment in 13:8-10. It even extends into how Paul emphasizes love within the church divisions he addresses (14:15; 15:1-2, 7). So often we think that the letter of Romans is all about doctrine, or justification by faith. Here, though, as Paul is beginning to head toward the conclusion of the letter, we see once again that the Christian life for him is all about faith working through love (Galatians 5:6). Let love be genuine!Mark Reasoner | 1 CommentFacebook-twitter-g+-LinkedIN-EmailPrint

Call Water Damage Pros - Sun City (602) 483-6676
Just What To Anticipate
A fire in a home, regardless if you reside in an apartment or condo, a single family, or multifamily home, can cause major destruction. The structure and many of the things in your home may have been badly damaged by smoke, heat, flames, and water.
You will most likely find that things the fire didn't burn up are right now destroyed from smoke and soggy because of water used to put out the flames. Nearly anything you plan to keep or re-use will have to be meticulously sanitized.
The fire department could have ripped holes in the walls of the house to look for any hidden flames. They could also have put holes through the roof to allow out the smoke & heat. Cleaning will take time and determination.
If your home had a fire sprinkler system, you will most likely find limited destruction from flames, the heat, smoke, and water.

It is crucial to know the risk to your health and safety after the fire is extinguished. The soot and unsanitary water left could have things which could possibly get you ill.
Call Water Damage Pros - Sun City (602) 483-6676
Make sure to be very careful in case you enter into your house and if you handle any fire-damaged belongings. Ask the suggestions of the fire department, local Sun City building official, your insurance broker, and restoration pros prior to starting to wash or make restorations.
Often Raised Questions Concerning Fire Department Actions
Q. Why did they have to break windows and make holes in the roofing?
A. While a fire burns, it moves up and down and across, growing extremely fast. Smashing windows and cutting spaces in the roof is called ventilation. Doing this stalls the fire's progression. Doing that serves to help get rid of dark smoke that makes it incredibly difficult for the firefighters to view where they are heading. It enables them to combat the fire more quickly. Ultimately, ventilation is able to assist in saving property and lives.
Q. How do I obtain a hard copy of the fire report?
A. In most locations, a fire report is a public document. Request it at the engine company or fire marshall's business office. The fire report can help you together with information and facts that your insurance organization and additional official business offices might seek.
Q. Why do firemen cut openings in walls?
A. This is done so that the fire department is sure that the fire is completely extinguished and that there is absolutely no fire left within the walls or in other unseen locations.
What Can I Do Right Now?
Look After Your Family & Yourself
Contact your neighborhood tragedy relief service, which includes the American Red Cross or the Salvation Army. These are going to help you get a temporary home to stay for awhile and locate cuisine, clothes, prescriptions, along with additional essential items. See to it you have a good place to reside temporarily. You and your family have a large undertaking in front of you. Obtain sufficient sleep and request help. It's not wise to attempt to carry out everything on your own.
Do not eat, drink, or breathe anything at all that has been near the fire's flames, smoke, soot, or water used to put the fire out.
Help Your Household Pets
If you possess pets, locate these and soothe them. Fearful animals commonly act in response by biting. Handle your pet cautiously, calmly, and gently. Attempt to leave pets with a family member, friend, or animal medical practitioner if you are going to or cleaning your damaged property.
Always keep your household pets out of the home til the cleanup is finished to keep them safe.
Protection And Well Being
You should not enter into a damaged home or apartment or condo unless the fire department states it is secure to go in. Fires can easily begin once again although they have the appearance to be out. Keep eyes open for damages generated from fire. Roof structures and floor coverings might possibly be ruined and might fall downward.
The engine company will make sure that the utilities (water, electrical, and gas) are risk-free to operate. Should they are not safe, firefighters will probably disconnect them before they depart the house. Do not attempt to switch them back on .
Get in touch with your police department to let them know you will be away from your residence. In some cases, you might have to board up entrances, so that no one can get inside anytime you're not there.
Consult Your Insurance Rep
Contact your insurance company or agent without delay. Inquire the things to do about the immediate needs of your property. This also includes removing water and protecting doors, windows, and other holes.
Ask your insurance agent the things they want to have you to complete to start with. Some companies might request you to assemble a list of anything that was wrecked from the fire. The agent will get you to describe all of these thoroughly and explain how much you spent for the items.
Supposing that you do not have insurance, your family and community may possibly help you get back on your feet. Some organizations that may assist include:
- State Or Municipal Emergency Services Office
- American Red Cross
- Public Agencies, Such As The Public Health Department, etc.
- Salvation Army
- Religious Organizations
- Nonprofit Crisis-Counseling Centers.
- Community Groups
Financial Situations
Contact your landlord or mortgage creditor as soon as possible. Call your credit card provider to report credit cards destroyed in the fire and ask for replacements. Keep all receipts for any cash you shell out. These receipts are very important in showing the insurance provider what money you have already spent involving your fire situation. This will help prove you purchased things you may need to claim on your income tax return.

Tips On Effective Ways To Take Care Of The Damage
There are companies that are professionals in clean-up and/or renewing your personal belongings.
Regardless if you or your insurance company pays for this sort of service, be clear on who will shell out for it. Don't forget to ask for an estimate of expense for the services and consent to it in writing. You can find the names and phone numbers for outfits that carry this out job in the telephone directory and on the Internet, or talk to your insurance broker for a provider they have used.
Before you select any business, speak with someone who has made use of them to ensure that they did a professional job.
Some providers that claim to offer board up and cleaning services are not trustworthy. Consult with your insurance agent for names of service providers you can rely on to do a decent job at a honest cost.
These service providers implement solutions that consist of several or every one of the list below :
- Estimating damage.
- Putting in storage household items.
- Assessing the charge to repair or restore belongings of personal property.
- Employing cleaning or repair subs.
- Fixing damage.
- Shielding your residence against even more damage.
- Storing repaired objects up until required.

- Animal registration documents
- Passports
- Citizenship paperworks
- Insurance coverages
- Manufacturer's warranties
- Military discharge records
- Social Security or Medicare cards
- Driver's licence, vehicle registration

- Stocks and bonds

- Paid off burial agreement
- Wills
- Income tax reports

How to find a sex on Tinder? Our advice to go from one match to another.
Tinder is certainly the most used dating app in the World. With its system of swipes, it attracts all kinds of singles, but also seducers of all types. Some seek a stable relationship, others are listed "just to see" and then there are all who hope to quickly find a Tinder hookups.
If this kind of relationship is characterized by lack of headache, his research, however, is fraught with pitfalls. Far be it from me to fall into a sexist stereotype. But let's face it, the one-night shot is often perceived as a typically masculine concept. And girls who assume freely and straightforward their sexfriend status, well it does not run the streets.
Not that they are all "holy-ni-touches", but certainly rather because of some social pressure. Because yes, even if the blow of a night is in itself nothing degrading, this type of relationship is often seen with a bad eye.
Because finally a plan ass, what is it? It's just two people who decide to share a pulpit. And that's all. In this kind of relationship, we are crazy about having the same musical tastes. The important thing is that the physical attraction is mutual and that the alchemy operates under the quilt. There is no compromise, no promise … In short, for many the hookups is synonymous with freedom.
And even if it is not easy to find a plan on Tinder, you will see that this application is particularly suitable for this kind of research. But for it to be successful, it must still have a certain tact, a little experience and a lot of humor, as always.
Tinder, how does it work?
Small catch-up session for those who have never used Tinder. You register for free, either with Tinder on PC, or by downloading the application. As Tinder works on the freemium model, you can use a free version. However it is limited in the number of options and you will certainly want to switch to a subscription. There are two: Tinder Plus and Tinder Gold. Their price depends on your age but we oscillate between 9.99 € and 19.99 € per month. If you want to know the rates in detail, I recommend this article which details the Tinder subscriptions.
Once you have completed your registration (which can be done without going through Facebook), you just have to complete your profile. And here you will understand why I say that Tinder is particularly suitable for the plan of the plan ass. Here, there is no question of spreading your favorite dish through a detailed questionnaire. On Tinder we like simplicity: a concise description and pictures.
Anyway, nobody really knows how the Tinder algorithm that offers you singles works. The fact is that you will see profile pictures that you will scroll by sweeping with the fingertip. This gesture is called "a swipe". If you swipe right, then Tinder understands "I like". Conversely, if you swipe left, Tinder understands "I do not like".
If you swip on the right a person who also swipes your profile on the right: Bingo! This is called a "match". This is important because it's the only way to start a conversation about Tinder.
Now that you know how Tinder works, let's not waste time and get straight to the heart of our subject.
How to find Tinder hookups, step by step.
First step: a profile with p'tits onions.
One study found that, on average, a single person analyzes a profile for 6 seconds before sweeping. Basically, a look at the profile picture and the judgment falls. Another fact: there are more than 60 million registered users on Tinder worldwide. That being said, you can not ignore the fact that the competition is extremely tough. To find a sex on Tinder, you will start by heal your profile.
Choose a profile picture that highlights you. Be careful, this does not mean that you have to show off your hairy chest or hard-earned muscles in the gym. Think of a photo that highlights one aspect of your personality. If you are having an activity, or if you have visited an exotic place, or if you have done something you are proud of … In short, a photo that no one else will have.
Write an original and concise description. Avoid annoying descriptions of the "I signed up for dating" style. Be original, seek to provoke a smile or curiosity! I know, it's not easy, that's why we wrote a detailed article on the subject, on how to have a nice description Tinder.
Do not slap this step, it's the typical mistake of many of us. You will see, the matches will not be long in falling.
Second step: the catch phrase that sets the tone without detonating.
That's it, you're almost there, you just match with your potential Tinder hookups. Do not go to work so quickly, there is still work on the board … The other typical mistake is to believe that a banal "cuckoo is fine" will be enough. Your quest for the Tinder hookups has just begun and it's from the beginning that you'll have to be tactful. The good news is that if you succeed in getting started, the rest will be almost naturally.
To start a conversation well, think first about your catchphrase. Once again, we have thought of everything, a detailed article on the subject is waiting for you here. You can largely draw inspiration from them, you will find moreover several examples. In general, your catchphrase must attract attention, it must be original. And most importantly, your target must be able to bounce on it easily. Because do not forget that your goal is to establish a climate of dredge and trust. The hookups Tinder is the relationship of people who do not take the lead, they are good-alive! So have humor, style, spread! Dare to slip into the role of a sure seducer from the beginning.
Yes I know, it's easier said than done. This will surely require some practice. But believe me, no need to be Apollo to find plans on Tinder. Trust yourself, do not take yourself too seriously and you will find that you will quickly master the art of dragging on Tinder.
Third step: get his phone number quickly!
Do not wait and ask him pretty quickly his cell number. Of course, first make sure you are on the same wavelength. Do not waste your time with a girl who is looking for a stable relationship and who does not grab any of your poles. Finally, maybe you like the challenges … In short, the fact is that you must try to leave Tinder as soon as possible. Because finally, Tinder is the hunting ground of a lot of seducer, while in private message, the relationship is concretized a little more. And then it's a good way to know right away if your target is potentially interested. If she is not, she will find an excuse not to give you her number.
A good tactic if you make an acute allergy to rake potential is to directly give him your phone number. That she choose herself if she wishes to continue the discussion. The only problem is that she may not contact you right away. She may take advantage of it to be desired. But at least if she contacts you you'll know what it really is.
How to steer the conversation towards a sexfriends relationship?
Do not play Prince Charming
The most important thing is to be honest. As I told you, a Tinder hookups is not a degrading proposition in itself. If and only if things are clear from the beginning. Abandon the strategy of Prince Charming because she will see you from a distance. "All that glitters is not gold" as they say. Do not try to go for someone else and play cards on the table right from the start. But with subtlety.
Play around themes that reflect the positive values of the evening plan: freedom and spontaneity. She must consider the plan as an experience that enhances it and not as something degrading, as most people think. Bring it back into your game, stir up his curiosity. Bet on double meaning, humor, teasing, disguised compliments … Try to sexualize the exchanges to the maximum, set the tone!
Watch out for girls' shit test
The "shit test" you do not know? Yet you must have already been the victim! Did you ever, during a conversation, suddenly feel like a cold? As if you had said something wrong? You can re-read your words, nothing works, you do not see the problem! Well that's it, the girls' shit test. In any case that's what happens if you do not pass the test successfully.
It is a defense mechanism that a girl starts when she feels that there is a "rock eel". It amounts to subtly pulling the worms. For example, if you make a compliment a little unbalanced, she will surely tell you "you tell that to all the girls you meet? In reality she wants to know if you are sincere, nothing more. Same, it may be that she asks you, seemingly nothing "you come often flirt with Tinder? In reality she wants to know if you are one of her unscrupulous seducers who are not always honest about their intentions. If you answer beside, she will shut herself up.
Above all, do not be more suspicious than you are. Avoid an answer like "No, I hardly ever come, I'm not a fan of the concept" because she's going to frown so much that she's going to keep a wrinkle. Instead, bet on an answer of the style "yes I come often but I never find what I seek! There is nobody of interest on Tinder, it's crazy! You will see, it will bounce straight and you will have the test without damage!

Finding an Online Loan That Can Be Acquired Fast
Life's hard and sometimes we want to make things a bit easier for us. Getting a guaranteed loan could be hard sometimes and it is quite frustrating if we badly need the money. Quick loan online process usually takes 7 days or more. Lenders take time to evaluate your profile and your credibility to get and repay the quick loan online. So the question is, what online loan companies are easy to get?
If you want convenience and get cash easily you can certainly apply for an online payday loan. Payday online loans are can be usually found on the web. But beware because they offer higher interest rates than any other loan. You can easily get your money on some payday loan lenders in just 15 minutes or within the day. If you badly need cash then you can apply for cash advances. This is one of the easy ways to get money instantly especially for emergency purposes. You can got to the nearest bank and pledge your credit card to an ATM and get cash instantly. But beware because most interest rates in cash advances are higher than your purchase rate. But if you badly need a cash it is a better option than to get a payday loan online from online loan companies.
Online Payday Loan Alternatives
You can also try peer-to-peer loans (P2P) which is also an online loan lenders. The process is you will apply for a loan directly to an individual and they will decide whether they'll grant you the loan or not. They offer loans at reasonable rate and the terms usually range from three to five years. If you need a small loan then it you can easily get it through credit unions. Credit unions offer short-term loans that usually range from $200 up to $1,000. Usually they are more considerate than local banks and you don't need to have an excellent credit score. All you need is a proof of income so they will know that you have the capacity to repay the loan.
The source of income, along with the credit score, is important when it comes to financial institutions and lenders like banks to determine a borrower's creditworthiness. Unfortunately, if you do not have a solid, stable, and steady source of income, then you may be scared to try apply for a fast payday loan. This article will guide on what you need to know and do when you're borrowing.
Can I still qualify for a payday loan online even without a job?
The answer is yes but you are going to need to have an income to show that you can make the repayments for the payday advance loan. These can include welfare of benefits, having shares, or if you are self-employed.
It also helps if you have an existing amount in your account as financial institutions banks get access to the amount that you have in your account to be able to determine your ability to repay the loan.

Requirements For An Unemployed Online Loan
You need to have an income. Even without a job, somehow, you need to be able to have an income or earnings that will show your ability to cover for your instant personal loan online. This is a universal requirement for most loans.
You have assets to back you up. If you do not have a job but have assets and properties such as a car then you can this as collateral to secure an online personal loan. Financial institutions and lenders are more inclined to lend you money when you can secure the online personal loan with a collateral as this mitigates the risk for them.
Credit Score
You have a decent credit score. If the instant loan online criteria is lenient when it comes to employment, then chances are the instant loan online also has flexible conditions when it comes to the credit score. This means as long as your credit score is passable as decent then you stand a chance. However, if you're bankrupt then there's a big chance numerous lenders will not accept your application.

European leaders meeting in Brussels on Thursday reinforced calls for Greece to push ahead with austerity measures in return for further financial aid and called on the country to stand united as opposition to the measures grows.
"Tonight was the moment to see where we stand as a union," European Council President Herman Van Rompuy told reporters late on Thursday. "There is a stronger sense of common responsibility," he said.
In a statement, EU leaders reiterated earlier remarks from the euro group, the 17 countries that share the European single currency, that Greece will have to press ahead with a privatization program.
"The euro area heads of state or government agree that required additional funding will be financed through both official and private sources," the statement said.
"The European Council calls on the national authorities to continue implementing with resolve the necessary adjustment efforts to put the country on a sustainable path," it added.
The leaders also called on Greece's political parties to support the required austerity measures and privatization measures.
Earlier, Reuters, citing unnamed sources, reported that an amended austerity plan had been approved in Athens by an inspection team from the International Monetary Fund and the European Union.
"A comprehensive reform package agreed upon with the commission, in liaison with the ECB, and the IMF, and adoption by the Greek parliament of the key laws on the fiscal strategy and privatization must be finalized as a matter of urgency in the coming days," the statement said.
Marietta Giannakou, a member of the Greek member of the European Parliament and a former Greek minister told CNBC.com she was confident the Greek parliament would vote in favor of the introduction of further austerity measures next week, but said that the government needed to try to reduce the cost of the public sector.
"In other countries there is a resistance to change, there are reactions (as well)... This is democratic and necessary," Giannakou, a member of Greek opposition leader Antonis Samaris' opposition conservative party, said.

Everyone knows that Adrian Beltre has more fun playing baseball than anyone alive. He throws his entire being into every game, and that includes his personality. On Thursday night that glorious personality was on full display when Beltre's Texas Rangers took on the Seattle Mariners, and Felix Hernandez got in on the fun.
[Now's the time to sign up for Fantasy Football! Join for free]
In the second inning, Beltre and Hernandez were facing off. Beltre hit a comebacker to the mound, which Hernandez snagged. Beltre saw him grab it and then broke out in a huge smile as he ran up the first base line, and then Hernandez started jogging with him as he threw the ball to get Beltre out at first. It was thoroughly delightful, and there was more where that came from. In fact, Beltre and Hernandez spent most of the night playfully jawing at each other anytime Beltre was up.

Beltre and Hernandez actually go way back, from when they were teammates on the Mariners a decade ago. The two had a… well, let's call it a special relationship.
Felix Hernandez is savage. https://t.co/ItC5dqNY3b pic.twitter.com/MciBBHmWzL
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) July 31, 2017
"It's not a conversation station" is just one of the many, many reasons Adrian Beltre is an awesome human being.
Their relationship goes even farther. Back in July, Yahoo Sports' own Jeff Passan revealed that King Felix was the first person to discover Beltre's aversion to head touching. When Beltre left for the Boston Red Sox, King Felix told Beltre's new teammates about it, and that's how the saga of the head touch was born.
Even though Hernandez is the reason that Beltre gets his head touched all the time now, the two are still friends. You could see how much respect that Hernandez has for Beltre in July after Beltre reached the 3,000 hit milestone. Hernandez came off the mound before Beltre's at-bat to give him a hug of congratulations.
It's really rare to see guys on different teams having this much fun when they're facing off as batter and pitcher. Now imagine if this happened with more batters and pitchers. Imagine if baseball was somehow even more fun than it is now. It would be madness, I tell you. Madness!

Have you heard the story about the bee, Parashurama and Karna from Mahabaratha? One day while Parasurama was resting on the lap of Karna, a poisonous bee stung Karna. But he kept calm bearing all the pain, not to disturb his resting guru. Parasurama awakened by the warm blood oozing out of the bee sting wound, realized that only a Kshatriya not a Brahmana can have such pain tolerance.
Both Adi and I have been sleep deprived for many days last week. So, earlier this week, as his tiredness overtook him, we just found a quite corner in a busy building and he rested on my lap for half hour to catch a cat nap.
I didn't move even a inch despite my leg going numb. If there was just a peep of sound anywhere close by, I swear, I would have silenced the source with the power of my mind to get him that much needed rest.

Chapter One: The myth that Knox ushered in the Scottish Reformation False claims regarding Knox as the Pioneer of Scotland's Reformation John Knox, alias John Sinclair, is generally seen as the main pillar of the Scottish Reformation and his works are often regarded amongst evangelicals as the purest source of its history. Thus, James Edward McGoldrick, starts his Preface to his Luther's Scottish Connections, with the words: 'There is no doubt whatever that the Protestant Reformation in Scotland received its principle direction from the indomitable John Knox, a rigorous and courageous adherent to the Reformed version of evangelical teaching as espoused in Geneva by John Calvin and his disciples.' … Full Article

Francis Lambert and the Pan-European Reformation The Reformation in Europe around 1510-1530 was built on that of the preceding two centuries. In England Grosseteste, Bradwardine, Wycliffe and the Lollards had done great reforming work as also the Hussites, the Bohemian Brethren and the Waldensians on the Continent. There never was a century without Reformation somewhere in Europe and her influence on other countries. Such early reforms were prior to the denominational counter-Reformation which broke up the inter-Protestant and pan-European international revivals of true religion in those times. The break-up resulted in much Reformed knowledge being lost and inter-church renewal was forgotten where denominations replaced… Full Article

Reflection on the Daily Readings for 5/09/09 by Fr. Bertrand Buby, SM
Today's Readings
Scripture: Saturday of 4th week after Easter. Acts 13:44-52. Psalm 98: 1,
2-3.3-4. John 14:7-14. Lectionary # 284:
Two possible themes from the liturgy of the word today are mission
and prayer. In the Acts of the Apostles Paul and Barnabas are now
proclaiming that Jesus is the Messiah; they are doing this in the
synagogues on each sabbath, but now opposition is surfacing and they are
forced to leave and head toward Iconium. Their missionary journey to the
Gentiles or nations now begins and the Gentiles are overjoyed at this new
venture of the apostles and the invitation made to them as non-Jews.
Jealousy was one of the factors that led to their being sent away from
preaching in the synagogues. They nevertheless go on boldly proclaiming
that Jesus is Lord and Messiah and that he is risen from the dead. Our last
verse tells us why they were so persistent:"The disciples (Paul and
Barnabas) could not but be filled with the Holy Spirit." (Acts 13:52).
Peace, joy,and love are the effects of the Spirit in their hearts; then
they are driven by the Spirit to preach the good news elsewhere, in fact,
everywhere. They fulfill both the Hebrew Scriptures and what is being
formed as the New Testament which will say about them, "I have made you a
light to the nations; a means of salvation to the ends of the earth."
The Psalm expresses this in an inclusive way: "The Lord has made
known his salvation in the sight of the nations he has revealed his
justice. He has remembered his kindness (chesed) and faitfhulness ('emunah)
toward the house of Israel. These two Hebrew words are central to the
covenant God makes with Israel. The latter word gives us the word Amen
which is always related to trust and belief in God. Covenantal renewal is
essential to both Judaism and Christianity.
Jesus continues his discourse about his returning to the Father. Some
of the strongest statements that he is the revelation of God himself are in
this discourse. Jesus and the Father are mutually in each other (v.11) yet
Jesus must go to the Father, for "the Father is greater than I." (v.28).
The mystery of Jesus being both God and man is revealed in this discourse.
Yet, only faith can in someway fathom what this means and how we are to
respond to it. In believing that Jesus is both human and divine we renew
our covenant and say Amen.
