Pitch Decks

Get Ready for That Big Pitch!

Do you have a great idea for a new TV show or movie, but you don’t know how to create the deck you’ll need for your pitch meetings?

No problem!

I’ve created well over 100 pitch decks for both film and TV, in a variety of genres including reality, scripted and game shows. I’ve worked for production companies and television networks, and I’ve been in the room to pitch shows and to be pitched.

I understand the purpose of the pitch deck and how it can be a great tool to help you seal the deal!

But what exactly is a pitch deck?

While I can’t show you a specific deck I’ve created for a project (I take those NDAs seriously, folks) here is an idea of what a pitch deck is and what it can convey:

Water brakes

Water brakes

Water brakes on Diamondback at Kings Island

Water brakes reduce the speed of the train while creating a large water spray. Funnels attached to the cars shoot water into the air.[1]

Water brakes appear similar to a splashdown, however in the case of water brakes the track is not immersed and only a small area of the train makes contact with the water.

There’s nothing quite like curling up in a cozy blanket handmade with love, is there?

For this issue’s Stitching Hearts project, we’re collecting knit and crochet squares which will be sewn together to make blankets. The blankets will be donated to a shelter, but we haven’t decided which quite yet. If you have a suggestion of where you’re like them to go, let me know!

All squares should be a multiple of 10 cm by 10 cm. Use whatever colour, material and pattern you like. Practice your basic crocheting skills or knit a heart into it! We don’t care as long as the squares fit together in the end.

We’ll gather on Saturday June 4 at noon near the duck pond at Assiniboine Park in Winnipeg to sew the patches together. Not in Winnipeg? No problem! Organize your own event and send the blankets to whichever groups you think could use some love, comfort and warmth.

#14703 closed (duplicate)

memcached.set_many() should not special case unicode data

Reported by: George Sakkis Owned by: nobody
Component: Core (Cache system) Version: 1.2
Severity: Keywords:
Cc: Triage Stage: Accepted
Has patch: yes Needs documentation: no
Needs tests: no Patch needs improvement: no
Easy pickings: no UI/UX: no

memcached.set_many() tries to be "smart" by explicitly checking for unicode values and encoding them as utf-8; that's not even a default value, it is actually hardcoded. The memcached.set() on the other hand just passes the value to the underlying memcached client. The bottom line is that the basic assumption that cache.set_many() is equivalent to calling cache.set() multiple times (but usually faster) is broken.

FWIW I was bitten by this in real-world code, it's not a theoretical problem without actual use cases.

College Station Independent School District

Success, Each Life...Each Day...Each Hour

New Purchasing and Warehouse Center

Project: Purchasing/Warehouse Center

Estimated Cost: $7,500,000

CSISD's current purchasing/warehouse space is located at 1812 Welsh, directly behind the main administrative building. As the district has grown, the warehouse space has become insufficient in meeting the district's needs. CSISD currently rents a number of units in the community in order to store supplies and materials that are necessary for our operation.

The proposed new facility will be located at the corner of William Fitch and Rock Prairie where the district has its transportation center. The new facility will provide much easier access for large trucks that are making deliveries to CSISD and provide the warehouse space necessary as the district continues to grow.

The Trump Era And Iran

Iran hasn’t been a major expansionist power since the 17th century.  The modern state of Iran is a pale shadow compared to any of the empires across milennia based in the Persian homeland.
There frankly isn’t much reason for the United States to make Iran a top foreign policy priority.  They may eventually get nukes but Pakistan, a state infinitely worse than Iran already has nukes and the world hasn’t ended yet.

Aside from influence over Middle East client states, the US and Iran have no real conflicts of interest.  Rivalry with Iran was largely manufactured by US meddling in Iranian affairs.  For some bizarre reason the US establishment just can’t get over the fact that their Shah didn’t work out 40 years ago and that they need to move on.  It’s not unlike their inability to adjust to the fact that the USSR no longer exists.

President Trump, as of this writing, has just fired his national security advisor, Michael Flynn.  There are many flimsy-sounding official reasons for the dismissal but I suspect it is not without coincidence it comes shortly after Flynn put Iran “on notice” after the test launch of a missile.

Iran responded by launching more missiles and the US was again left looking foolish and impotent.
It looks like Trump took Flynn’s advice regarding Iran, but perhaps had his reservations because he made Flynn publicly own the announcement rather than doing it himself and taking the credit.

When Flynn’s sabre-rattling backfired, Trump may have decided to pull the plug even though he must understand that the optics are damaging to his administration.

 He acted similarly many times firing staff during his campaign with everyone saying he was finished and his organization falling apart.  These kinds of plays shouldn’t surprise us by now.

The open belligerence expressed by Flynn, when backed by no credible threat, makes no sense and makes the situation worse.  We need only reflect on how W Bush’s ‘Axis of Evil’ needlessly inflamed and encouraged his designated enemies.

Why on earth would anyone want to keep their enemies “on notice?”  Why not keep them guessing about their relationship with the US and always leave room for negotiation?  I remember how neocons and cuckservatives revolted when Obama merely said he would be willing to “talk to Iran.”  What kind of national leaders could express outrage at conducting diplomacy, a basic function of state?  This is the sort of childish idiocy an adult like Trump has to tear out by the roots.

Iran is a state with paranoid tendencies as one would expect of a land that has been under the influence of foreign powers for the last 200 years and invaded from every direction by every group for thousands of years.  Their nation lies at a natural geo-political crossroads so their government naturally has a hardliner temperament somewhat similar to that of Russia.  The key distinction that the US misunderstands is their outlook is primarily defensive in nature.
Beyond a buffer client zone in the Shia regions of Iraq along with its Shia holy cities, Iran really doesn’t seem to aspire to that much at the moment.  They have proxies all over the Middle East, but more to destabilize Sunni powers they fear than anything else.

I actually think Obama had the right general policy direction even if he was forced to by circumstance.  When his pet Syrian revolutionaries blew up into ISIS he went crawling on his knees to Tehran begging for them keep an independent Iraq in existence on paper at least.  The price was that he had to make humiliating concessions.

I think he still could have done a better job of playing the situation, though, considering he was paying the Iranians to do what they desperately wanted to do anyway.  I have to give him credit though for at least opening a dialogue when no one else in the establishment would.

The Western powers can’t seem to wrap their heads around the fact that Iran as the central power of Shi’ite Islam with its own great share of the petroleum market is the natural enemy of Sunni powers.  The potential for playing them off against each other should be obvious.

The US had its chance to take the Sunni side of that divide when they backed Saddam Hussein as a relatively secular Arab Nationalist leader of Iraq.  Had diplomacy been conducted with a more realpolitik understanding back then, perhaps Iraq would have been allowed to absorb Kuwait as an ally’s reward after their hard-fought war with Iran.
Perhaps that extra infusion of oil money would have enabled America’s then-ally to go back and pose a greater threat.

But that’s alternate history and now it actually makes more sense to play Iran against the Sunni Middle East and thereby have some leverage over them from behind the scenes.  At the very least, it makes sense to defuse decades of pointless hostility with Iran.
If the US had wanted to pursue that route, it already could have with a strong ally before it invaded that ally twice, deposed its ruler, and left behind a yawning power vacuum that has caused endless headaches ever since.

At present, Iran aligns with Russia to the frustration of the establishment, but this connection need not exist.  Historically, Russian and Persian powers have been bitter enemies that have fought many wars.  Their co-operation is far from inevitable.  Theirs is an alliance made necessary by American intransigence.  As the US drove the Iranians into the arms of the Soviet Union, it now pushes them towards Russia.  If it were to become a foreign policy goal to divide them, it ought not to be that difficult.  Just encourage both to have more ambitions in the Caucasus.

For the time being, Iranian-Russian cooperation has been beneficial in keeping the Middle East from descending into complete chaos while for once the US can watch from afar as someone else puts in all the blood and sweat.

US establishment rhetoric toward Iran has frustrated me for years.  Their stupid heavy-handedness in all things has destroyed their credibility until even a non-politician TV billionaire can step in and push them aside.  Some inflammatory statements about Crimea aside, I am hoping Trump has the sense not to get drawn into the cult of unilateral, irrational belligerence.

Update 2/17/17: Was the Flynn firing also a ploy to draw out and expose enemies within the state and intelligence agencies?  Very intrigued to see what happens next.  Like in the election, Trump keeps people guessing, as he should.

    Kuwait was in the UK sphere of influence, Thatcher made HW go after Iraq.

    • Giovanni Dannato February 17, 2017 at 5:15 am

      Made him? One’s allies have too much say when they can order you to war against your own interests, especially if they are the weaker party. To be fair, I guess that didn’t stop Austria-Hungary dragging Germany into a Great War.

      The port of Kuwait was one of the few strategically important areas before the discovery of oil, so the British had a base there. In fact that’s where the founder of the Saud dynasty fled for awhile when he was out of favor in Riyadh vs. the Rashidis.

      Anyway, I would think that there would have to be more to the story than Victorian-Edwardian British foreign policy for such a heavy-handed reaction. The US established itself conclusively as the one legitimate superpower with the Suez Canal Crisis.
      I figured HW was worried about any one power controlling too much of the oil reserves.
      The Sykes-Picot map was drawn as it was for a reason.

    “When Flynn’s sabre-rattling backfired, Trump may have decided to pull the plug even though he must understand that the optics are damaging to his administration.”

    What is meant here by optics?

  3. Sam J. February 19, 2017 at 8:33 pm

    “…I actually think Obama had the right general policy direction even if he was forced to by circumstance…”

    You’re exactly correct and it’s the only thing I liked about Obama is no matter how much caterwauling from the Jews we didn’t attack Iran.

    “…Update 2/17/17: Was the Flynn firing also a ploy to draw out and expose enemies within the state and intelligence agencies? Very intrigued to see what happens next. Like in the election, Trump keeps people guessing, as he should…”

    This is just complete supposition. I of course do the exact same thing all the time but worse. The reason is with the all the lies we can never see the truth directly. We’re only allowed to see the shadows cast on the wall. Is it fingers or is it a rabbit?

    “…open belligerence expressed by Flynn, when backed by no credible threat, makes no sense and makes the situation worse…”

    Exactly. Completely ridiculous.

    Here’s some shadows. Flynn and his son both alluded to Pizzagate(true). Shortly after his resignation Philippe Reines, a former aide to Ms Clinton tweeted about it.

    “Dear Mike Flynn & Mike Flynn Jr. What goes around COMETS around,” (True)

    Comet Pizza is the name of the pizza place that is at the center of pizzagate.(true).

    A former CIA guy, Robert David Steele, says pizzagate is just a local manifestation of of a worldwide Pedogate.(True)

    Is what he says true? Some of it definitely. There’s been numerous cases that 100% were covered up. The evidence was there. No doubt at all. Some are saying that Flynn had a list of abusers and one of Pence’s best friends was on the list. Pence wanted him gone for that.(rumor)

    Hundreds of low level pedos and child trafficers are being rounded up right now. (true).

    Supposition is that they are being leaned on to go up the chain and provide collaborating evidence. Various estimates are that 1/3 of Congress is caught up in this pedo scheme. It’s been said that 50% of CIA agents are Jews.(rumor)

    So what’s going on? My take on this is very simple. The Jews have run the media, CIA and Congress for decades. They got greedy and sloppy, drug running, child trafficking, 9-11, mass wars for Israel, pushing towards situations where a nuclear exchange with Russia is a possibility, selling off US military tech secrets and who knows what else. The Jews have been completely destroying the country. Exactly like Germany after WWI. They aren’t the only intelligence agency though. The DIA has been watching. The CIA has hired and appointed agents. The DIA has heartland Whites running it as you have to join the military and go up the chain to get in. Too much trouble for the Jews. The DIA hasn’t had the political power to do anything about it because of the press and Congress angle. The Whites are closing in on the Jews and they know it. Remember it’s only been a little over a month since Trump got in.

    I’m not sure why they haven’t pounced on them yet. Could be that they don’t want to destroy all faith in the government (bad thing I think) or it may be that they’re really setting them up where there’s no chance of escape.

    If Trump doesn’t totally clean these pedo blackmailers out then the country is doomed. Myself I can see no way this country will survive unless we deport the Jews in mass and refuse to let them have any say in our country at all. This seems to be the pattern of countries infested with the Jews for the last 4000 years or so. Those that did so were vastly successful.

    The future of our country is right now. Very similar to the Revolutionary War or the Civil War. I think some of the guys Trump has on board believe this too. Michael Anton(Publius Decius Mus, look up Publius Decius Mus and see what the Roman did) wrote,”The Flight 93 Election”.

    (I’m sure you’ve read this but I linked it for completion)

    Bannon is bleating about “The Fourth Turning”, an apocalyptic cyclist theory history warning book, (great book).

    Bannons boss Breitbart was murdered when he threatened Podesta with pedo exposure.((fact) that Breitbart threatened Podesta, (rumor) that he was murdered but with medical evidence backing that he was murdered) He knows the stakes.

    It will all be decided in Trumps administration. Let’s hope he doesn’t fuck it up.

    And to add to the panic along with the societal “4th Turning” look at the Chartist financial history. We may be very soon going over the falls. I admit this really, really scares me. Really bad.

    • Giovanni Dannato February 23, 2017 at 2:42 am

      I think I’ve given up for now trying to figure out exactly what was going on with Flynn. Trump has shown he’s very clever and like Sun Tzu, always makes deception part of his battle plan.
      We can look at the new guy, McMaster, a tank general from the 1st Iraq war. He seems to think more for himself than your average top brass, but that’s a very relative metric. It was also offputting that the 1st pick for a new National Security Advisor worked for Lockheed Martin. Last thing we need is more Military Industrial Complex control of foreign policy. After the W Bush administration turned that dial up to 11, it’s political suicide to venture there again, as it should be.

      You know my stance with conspiracy theories. Until there’s something more concrete, I assume the pizzagate thing is likely just rumors. It would be just a little too convenient to be true.

      You know my stance with Jews, but I do accept that it may prove necessary to keep them out of government and finance. It may be politically necessary for their own good if disconcertingly many of them continue to conspicuously support the crumbling establishment.

  4. Sam J. February 20, 2017 at 7:23 am

    This stuff is everywhere. Cases dropped with confessions even.

    I wonder why Trump dropped Flynn??? It’s mysterious. Is it some kind of long range set up? Was Pence protecting someone that Flynn was after and Trump didn’t know? The murk is so deep you need hip waders. There’s a real serious war going on. If Trump doesn’t get control of the fake votes then I bet he will be impeached by stolen votes in the cities. He’s going to have to go after these people. This is the same bunch that killed as many as 60 million Russians.

    • Sam J. February 20, 2017 at 4:47 pm

      After reading some material elsewhere maybe the reason Flynn was booted was he didn’t keep his mouth shut. He tweeted about pizzagate. Right now the government is rounding up hundreds of pedos and child traffickers. Maybe he was not supposed to talk about this and the reason they let him go was this. Since they didn’t want to bring this to anyone’s attention they gave a nonsensical reason for his firing. The Achilles heel for the deep State is child trafficking, 9-11(building #7 specifically), drug running and money laundering. The people keeping them safe and cut-outs stopping investigation of them have disappeared. Sessions, a former prosecutor, seems to be going after them. The deep States get out of jail free cards seem to have been revoked. As long as Trump can stay in office he holds the cards.

Introduction to Winter 2012 issue on “Liturgy and Culture”

In his book The Spirit of the Liturgy, Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger writes that “cult,” from which our words worship and culture both spring, “goes beyond the action of the liturgy. Ultimately, it embraces the ordering of the whole of human life.”[1] Culture does not supersede liturgy, but rather points to the truth of the liturgy as inherently fruitful, spilling over naturally into the life of man, ordering culture precisely through its ordering of time and space. When understood to embrace all aspects of humanity, liturgy is properly seen also as pedagogy.

Liturgy is thus not meant to be a reflection of man back to himself, but rather an education in and through the mysteries and sacraments which take place. Ratzinger notes, “I discover that something is approaching me here that I did not produce myself, that I am entering into something greater than myself, which ultimately derives from divine revelation.”[2] The whole of man is at stake in the liturgy, and the entire world is implicated in its rites. “Worship,” writes the Orthodox theologian Alexander Schmemann, is “a reality with cosmic, historical and eschatological dimensions, the expression thus not merely of ‘piety,’ but of an all-embracing ‘world-view.’”[3]

In listening to and participating in the liturgy, one discovers depths of meaning of which one is not immediately aware. The articles in the present issue of Communio draw out this meaning by exploring different aspects of the culture’s rootedness in the liturgy and the liturgy’s implications for culture. The purpose is to show  how our own conformation to and participation in the liturgy is the deepest and most proper path to forming and renewing culture.

In “The Liturgy: Presence of a New Body, Source of a Fulfilled Time,” José Granados argues that modernity has lost the symbolic value of the world: nature and history are no longer, as for the ancients, imbued with order and meaning. The liturgy, says Granados, offers a way to recover this lost symbolism through the encounter of human experience with Christ’s revelation. By examining the relationship between the sacraments of marriage and the Eucharist, Granados demonstrates how body and time become a fabric wherein the mystery of God and man reveals itself, and life appears as a path for the divine image to shine at the core of human experience.

David W. Fagerberg, in “The Sacraments as Actions of the Mystical Body,” explains that while the liturgy and the sacraments often occupy two different academic spheres, their relationship is in fact mutually enlightening and indeed necessary. Their interplay is such that liturgy allows us to understand the sacraments as more than discrete instances in a man’s life. Together, sacraments make clear the fundamental theology of the Church’s mission: deification. “We join a liturgy already in progress,” Fagerberg writes; we are “coming to be connected into God’s own perichoresis.”

In “Apostolicity and the Eucharist,” Oliver Treanor investigates the implications of John Paul II’s connection of the term “apostolic” to the Eucharist. By so doing, he says, the Pope opened a challenging and innovative way of approaching the sacrament that constitutes the Church as Christ’s Body. Treanor explores how this approach elucidates the Church’s relationship to the Eucharist in terms of the Paschal Mystery as a manifestation of the Trinity, and how it might, consequently, shed fresh light on the nature of that communion which is presupposed by eucharistic sharing, and which underlies the Church’s pastoral mission as the universal sacrament of salvation.

Nicholas J. Healy’s “The Eucharist as the Form of Christian Life” reflects on the relationship between the eucharistic mystery and the daily life of the faithful. The Church’s faith in Christ’s “real presence”—including his hidden life of work in Nazareth—is eucharistic. “When he hands over the substance of his life to the Church,” Healy writes, “Christ communicates a form or way of life that can include or embrace every aspect of human existence, and ultimately, the entire material order of creation.”

Also in this issue, we present the first of a two-part article by Giorgio Buccellati: “Trinity spermatiké: The Veiled Perception of a Pagan World (Part I).” Buccellati builds on the assumption that the sense of God is ultimately trinitarian, even within polytheism. It is especially the apprehension of dynamism within the absolute that leads to a sense for what, in Christianity, emerges finally as the trinitarian dimension of God. The fact that this sense is distorted in a number of different directions does not lessen the significance of the spiritual desire that is evinced in a number of traditions ranging from the ancients to the moderns.

Continuing our theme of “Liturgy and Culture,” Paolo Prosperi, in his article “The Birth of Sources Chrétiennes and the Return to the Fathers,” recounts the founding of what is often known as nouvelle théologie, a theological renewal begun by a group of Jesuits at Fourvière at Lyons in the 1940s, led by, among others, Henri de Lubac, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and Jean Daniélou. Prosperi highlights the group’s efforts to “return to the sources”—to recover the work of the Fathers of the Church. For the Jesuits at Fourvière, turning to the Fathers meant above all “asserting the unity between dogmatic theology and the living experience of the mystery of Christ and the Church; in brief, . . . the unity between life and thought.”

In “‘The Christian mystery is the mystery of creation’: An Introduction to Jean Daniélou,” Jonah Lynch exposits and reintroduces us to the work of Daniélou. In his capacity both as translator of the early Fathers and as theologian, Daniélou influenced the Second Vatican Council and its reception thereafter. Lynch pays special attention to Daniélou’s first book,The Presence of God, wherein “we see the style that will be the hallmark of all Daniélou’s literary production: it brings everything in—poetic passages and philological research, typology and the discoveries of archaeology—while leading to a precise and attractive description of the mystery of man and God.”

In Retrieving the Tradition, we present the first chapter of The Presence of God. Jean Daniélou explains that through the liturgy, “the universe has become once more a Temple, where we are at home with God in the cool of the evening, where man comes forward, silent and composed, absorbed in his task as in perpetual liturgy, attentive to that Presence which fills him with awe and tenderness.”

Also in Retrieving the Tradition, we offer Virgil Michel’s article, “Christian Culture.” A Benedictine monk of St. John’s Abbey in Collegeville, Minnesota, Michel profoundly influenced the movement for liturgical renewal in English-speaking countries, founding in 1929 the theological journal Orate Fratres to help provide the theological basis and inspiration for this movement. For Michel, the theological ground of the liturgical movement is always first the Body of Christ. He argues that the “Christian is not . . . to turn his back on the entire culture of today. . . . What is needed is to imbue our civilization and culture with a renewed Christian spirit, and thus to give to it the vitality it is seeking.” Michel has a keen sense of the liturgy as pedagogy, and sees that only when Christians are educated into and ordered by the spirit of the liturgy will they be able to educate and order the world, and thus become the salt of the earth.

Finally, in Notes & Comments, Adrian J. Walker reflects on the work of translation in “The Art of the Second Virtue: On the Unity of Freedom and Obedience in Translation.” Walker maintains that “translation is an act of double obedience,” both to the original piece and to the language into which one is translating. Analogous to how man transforms the earth in order to offer it back to God in the liturgy, a translator must both be interpreter and render the original gift anew. This interpretation-of-the-already-given, however, does not constitute a lack of freedom on either the part of the one who participates in liturgy or the translator, for, as Walker writes, “the in-between he inhabits is one that opens up within the generous fecundity of the original itself.” —The Editors

Introduction to Fall 2012 issue on “Death”

The Fall, 2012 issue of Communio is dedicated to the theme of “Death.” In his book Eschatology, Joseph Ratzinger points out a “remarkably contradictory” attitude toward death prevalent in modern society: “On the one hand,” he writes, “death is placed under a taboo. It is unseemly. So far as possible, it must be hidden away, the thought of it repressed. . . . On the other hand, one is also aware of a tendency to put death on show, which corresponds to the general pulling down of shame barriers everywhere.” Both tendencies abstract death from life, and these attempts to either push death away or sensationalize it to the point of unreality ultimately accomplish a dehumanization of death. But when death is dehumanized, Ratzinger argues, life is inevitably dehumanized as well, for one does not exist without the other.

The articles in the present issue each, through different lenses, ask with Ratzinger, whence such a contradiction in the modern understanding of death comes, and, in their exploration of the question, begin to point the way to a recovery of what we might call a “Christian attitude towards death.”

In “Singulariter in spe constituisti me: On the Christian Attitude Towards Death,” Adrian J. Walker acknowledges that death is primarily a punishment for sin, but also points to what it reveals about creatureliness. Death, Walker writes, “conceals a medicinal mercy, an opportunity to come to our senses, to wake up from the perverse illusion of godlike autonomy without God.” Though death is in some sense the horror of all creaturely horrors, “Christ’s supernatural conversion of death into the sacrament of eternal life . . . includes its transformation into a confessio by which we fulfill our nature through the self-return into the hands of the Creator that we once refused him in Paradise.”

David S. Crawford, in “The Gospel of Life and the Integrity of Death” discusses the contradiction in modern culture’s attitude toward death pointed out above by Ratzinger. The so-called death with dignity movement and the trend to treat aging as a disease are paradigms of the simultaneous tendencies to relativize and absolutize the importance of life. Crawford identifies the common roots of each of these seemingly opposed movements as modernity’s turn to mechanism. He goes on to contrast this attitude with the analogous Christian absolutization and relativization of life, according to which life needs to experience “something like death” in order to be a life founded in love. The technical attempts to dominate life and death, Crawford argues, are not wrong in their tendency to absolutize or relativize life; rather, these attempts go astray because they turn a proper absolutization and relativization upside down, fervently denying that there should ever be anything ‘death-like’ in love.

In “The Gift of the Dying Person,” Ruth Ashfield invites us to stop and consider the experience of those who are suffering and dying, and shows how in doing so we discover truths of the human condition that enrich and are necessary to our understanding of life. Drawing on the work of Dr. Cicely Saunders, founder of the modern hospice movement, and John Paul II, Ashfield explores a language of the suffering and dying body. In this exploration the dying person emerges as not only a witness to the dynamism of gift which lies at the heart of reality, but also as one who calls those who stay with him to true communion through genuine compassion.

Patricia Snow also explores the meaning of the body in terms of death, in “The Body and Christian Burial: The Question of Cremation.” Snow asks why cremation has again become an attractive option for many Christians, and explains that while the Church has relaxed its ban on cremation, the profound significance of funeral and burial is not to be passed over easily or quickly. “In the synthesis that was effected when the whole Christ rose from the dead,” Snow writes, “it was the supernatural affirmation of the body that was definitively new.” A casual attitude towards cremation or burial, she argues, betrays a culture-wide apathy to the mystery of the Incarnation, which effects “a marriage of flesh and spirit, heaven and earth, God and human race.”

The present issue also continues a discussion of brain death begun in the Summer, 2011 issue of Communio. Two articles were then published on whether brain death is the death of human person. Now we present Nicholas Tonti-Filippini’s reply to Robert Spaemann in “‘Bodily Integration’: A Response to Spaemann.” Tonti-Filippini argues that the brain is necessary for true bodily integration “because without the brain the integration that remains is only between parts of the body rather than the body as a whole.” D. Alan Shewmon, to whom much of Tonti-Filippini’s criticism is leveled, also weighs in on the debate, in a reply to Tonti-Filippini. Shewmon argues that “there is absolutely no compelling philosophical or scientific reason to suppose that brain death, however total and irreversible, is ipso facto the death of a human being as such.” In his article, “You Only Die Once: Why Brain Death is Not the Death of a Human Being,” Shewmon draws on his medical experience and research, as well as the hylemorphism Tonti-Filippini wishes to defend, in order to demonstrate that it is not the brain, but the soul, which constitutes bodily integration, and therefore, life.

Lastly, we include the final installment of a decade long series on The Mysteries of the Life of Jesus. Begun in Spring, 2002, we now close the series with an article on “The Return of Christ.” In “The End of History: The Parousia of Christ as Cosmic Liturgy,” Luis Granados asks what meaning the Parousia holds for us, and what its relevance is for the path Christ walked in the mysteries of the flesh. Granados examines the Parousia’s relationship to the other mysteries of the life of Jesus in order to shed light on the meaning of the time that unfolds between the Resurrection and the Final Judgment. If Christ is truly the end of history, it will be his life that should reveal to us the meaning of the ages. Between the coming in poverty and the coming in glory, time dilates and opens up to the action of the Spirit in man. This divine work is actualized in the mystery of the liturgy, which is a foretaste of the end of human history and that of the whole cosmos. In liturgy, Granados argues, we discover the bridge between present life and definitive life, and thus also the meaning that the mystery of the Parousia has in the divine plan.

Finally, Communio is pleased to welcome Katherine G. Quan as our new managing editor, and we extend our profound gratitude to Emily Lyon neé Rielley, who leaves the managing editor’s position she so capably filled for the past ten years. We wish her abundant joy and fruitfulness in her new way of life, and we cherish the memories of the time she spent with us. —The Editors

George Grant. In Defense of North America

From the archives:

George Grant. In Defense of North America (Communio 38: Summer 2011, reprinted from 1969).

From the text:

Indeed until recently the very absence of a contemplative tradition spared us the full weight of that public nihilism which in Europe flowered with industrial society. The elimination of the idea of final purpose from the scientific study of the human and nonhuman things not only led to the progress of science and the improvement of conditions but also had consequences on the public understanding of what it was to live. But this consequence was not so immediately evident in our practical culture as it was to Europeans. We took our science pragmatically, as if its effect on us could be limited to the external. Thus it was possible for us to move deeply into the technological society, while maintaining our optimism and innocence.

In the public realm, this optimism and innocence delayed the appearance among us of many of those disorders which in Europe were concurrent with that nihilism. . . . full text (PDF)

Juan Sara: Secular Institutes According to Hans Urs von Balthasar

Now online: Juan Sara, Secular Institutes According to Hans Urs von Balthasar (2002)

From the text:

What Balthasar is proposing with the secular institutes, then, is the possibility of embracing “from below” within the obedience of love the negative tendency operating in the West since the late Middle Ages, its visceral “No” to being assumed in Christ — thanks to the qualitative decisions of those called to an exclusive consecration of this obedience of love in representation of all. What is at stake is thus more than a mere critique from a distance: it is nothing less than a real, patient entrance into the other in order to participate in the substitutionary event of the decision of Christ himself. By the same token, the ultimate goal of the secular institutes is, in Balthasar’s conception, to foster an existential, eucharistic echo in present history of that original dialogue between the triune God and Mary that we saw above. This dialogue is nothing other than the growth of the world in total gift to God, authentic worldly profession in Christian consecration, the flowering of the logos in the divine Logos, the fruitfulness of God in man.  (full text)

Accepted answer

Either make sure your nuget packages are included in you source repo or add nuget.exe as a new executable on your build agents and use a Command task in your build plan to run nuget.exe with the "restore" argument and nuget.exe will restore all your nuget packages. This Command task should run before you run your build task.

Thank you for your reply Kahu. Ill give this a shot. Appreciate your reply. Im kind of new to this.

The Search Syntax for text fields documentation explains that

Much of the information on this page is derived from the Query Parser Syntax page of the Lucene documentation.

In turn Jira can't perform text searches of this nature at this time.   This is largely because of the way lucene works and how Jira implements this.   You could certainly do a search of

and in turn this would return this issue, but we can't expect jira to be able to parse out substrings of this single large string unfortunately.

But there are other existing plugins to Jira that can provide you other means to search for this data in JQL.   For example you might have more success trying the ScriptRunner plugin.   With this plugin installed, there are more functions being added to JQL and in turn you could then try a query in Jira issue navigator that would allow for a regex search such as:

issueFunction in issueFieldMatch("", "description", "5s44")

The use of this plugin allows lots of different JQL functions that don't exist in the native Jira code such as this issueFieldMatch.

Missing fields for mapping in Zendesk Integration

I am modifying my Zendesk integration so that certain JIRA fields are mapped TO ZENDESK for automatic updates of fields in Zendesk when related JIRA issues are updated. I was able to map status, priority, assignee and Jira Key without a problem and see these in custom fields in Zendesk tickets. I was also able to map the Resolution date to a custom field to show Resolved date in Zendesk.

FYI - Doing all of this to have better reporting capabilities using Gooddata in Zendesk.

What I am not able to get working is to map Created Date, Last Updated date and Due date. Created and Updated fields do not even show in the mapping... Why?

Please advise how to accomplish this.

I am unable to get any Nintex Online Workflows created this morning to trigger.  All existing workflow are triggering just fine, but new ones are not.  I have tried all the methods (manually, on created and on modified).

I am a consultant and this is happening on both my company's tenant and the client's tenant.  I have tried creating brand new lists and workflows to just make sure something was not corrupt with the list i was using.  Had no success.

Is anyone else seeing this issue?

Chuck’s First Surveillance

This story introduces Chuck, an…associate of Ethan who you may remember from previous stories. He’s going to be a re-occurring character if I can get some writing/editing done on his story. This is just a snapshot.

Ethan did not look like a janitor.  That is what Chuck was thinking as they rode the elevator up to the top floor of the office building.  Ethan was dressed like a janitor, but he stood too straight and looked too confident. Chuck was dressed in the same grey uniform, and felt as if anyone they passed would know immediately that he was a fake when he couldn’t manage to roll the mop bucket down the hall without sloshing water everywhere.

They didn’t talk on the way up or as they walked through the halls.  Chuck’s shoes squeaked on the floors.  Ethan, who appeared to have the same shoes, walked silently.  They passed one office worker and Chuck felt like panicking, but Ethan just nodded to him and continued on. Ethan stepped into a conference room, closed the door, and turned off the light.  When he opened the dented handyman’s toolbox he’d been carrying, a large gun loomed on the top.  Ethan took it out and set it on the table.  Under it was a large camera, a pair of binoculars and a few other things Chuck couldn’t distinguish in the dark.

“Why the gun?,” Chuck whispered, breaking the silence.

After taking the camera with a long telephoto lens out of the box, Ethan pulled an office chair around so it was facing the wall of windows overlooking the street.  “Always have a weapon, just in case,” he said in a normal voice.  “We don’t need to whisper.”  He sat down and put the camera up to his face, then lowered it again. “Pull up a chair, Chuck, and man the binoculars.”

Chuck picked up the binoculars and sat down next to Ethan.  He looked through them down at the street, but saw nothing.  “What do we do now?”

“Wait,” Ethan said.  Ethan wasn’t a big talker.

“What is Catty doing?  She’s down there, right?”  Chuck asked, not exactly the strong silent type like his companion.

“She’s not there yet, but she will be soon.  She’s in charge of getting any sound bites that she can.  And making sure we can see the subjects,” Ethan said.

“How can you let her put herself in danger all the time?  Doesn’t it drive you crazy?” Catty always looked so…vulnerable. She should be up here, while the big, burly Ethan faced the subjects. Chuck had only a vague idea of who the subjects were, but if Ethan and Catty were interested in them, they were guaranteed to be dangerous.

“It’s her job,” Ethan responded mechanically.  “And it’s my job.”

“I know it’s your job.  But I also know you are close to her.” He paused. “I’m just not sure how close.”

“We’re partners.”

Chuck remained silent, but Ethan seemed to read his skeptical thoughts anyway.

“Is that what you think of Catty?” Ethan said, letting a hint of annoyance seep through the stony exterior.

“You do live together.”

“We’re not sleeping together if that’s what you’re getting at,” Ethan said abruptly.

“Okay, sorry.  I didn’t mean to pry.  But I know you care about her. I would probably go crazy watching her walk right into…everything.”

“You have no idea,” Ethan said, under his breath. Half a minute passed.  “You get to watch tonight, but try not to go crazy.  Here she comes.”  Ethan tossed Chuck an ear piece as he put one in himself.

Chuck stuff the ear piece into his ear and looked through the binoculars down to the street. At first, he didn’t recognize Catty.  The woman approaching the bar looked older than Catty.  She wore sleek navy pants with painfully high heels.  Her blouse was sultry and the fabric shimmered as she moved.  Her hair was almost black it was so dark.  A wig, Chuck realized.  It hung, loosely curled to the middle of her back.  She had bangs sweeping across her forehead, and very sparkly, very dangly earrings in both ears.  She was stunning, but different than the Catty Chuck was used to.

“Let me know when they are getting close,” Chuck heard her say in his ear.

“Got it,” Ethan responded back.  Ethan had the camera to his face searching the street around the bar.  Catty disappeared inside, and Chuck could faintly hear the sounds of the bar coming in through her mike.  A few minutes past before Ethan signaled to Chuck to look at a car that was pulling up to the bar.

“Show time,” Ethan said to Catty.  Two men got out of the car and went inside.  A moment later Catty appeared in the large front window holding a half empty cocktail glass.  She sat at one of the tall tables that looked out over the street.

The two men drifted into view with a third companion that must have already been waiting inside. They were just behind Catty and Chuck saw one of them eyeing her greedily.  Chuck wanted to punch the guy.  Remember what Ethan said, he thought.  It’s her job.  He looked over at Ethan for reassurance.  He had paused in taking photos, and Chuck may have just imagined it, but he thought Ethan wanted to punch the guy too.   Catty ignored the three men completely, lounging in her chair staring lazily out the window.

Ethan began taking photos again.  Chuck saw the third man nod towards Catty and he said something to the others.  They laughed and walked to the table next to hers and arranged the chairs so they could watch Catty.  She gave them an insolent glance and then stared back out the window.

“Read them like a book,” Ethan said quietly, to himself.  Ethan kept taking pictures as he explained to Chuck, “All she has to do is hear the description of the subject, and she knows exactly how to dress and act to draw them in.  They are right where she wants them.” They watched as Catty sipped her cocktail and the three men conversed. The click of the camera and the background noise from the bar via Catty’s mike were just enough to keep the silence from feeling oppressive.

“I think we’re going to be good tonight,” Catty’s voice came in.  “I’m getting everything.”

“What language?”  Ethan asked.

“Korean, actually.  I wasn’t expecting that.”

“I can’t hear anything,” Chuck whispered, afraid that the recording device Catty was using had malfunction.

“We can’t pick it up over her mike, but her phone will get everything we need,” Ethan said. Catty picked up her cell phone, opened it, and began texting. “Now she’s getting a few closeup photos to complete the package,” Ethan explained. He had paused in his photography work and Chuck thought he looked like he was enjoying himself, although it was hard to tell with Ethan.

Catty shifted just slightly and Chuck realized it was to get better photos of the three men. She put the phone away.  “I think we’re can wrap this up.  That bottle of vodka is almost gone.  Not much more business is going to get done.”

Catty picked up her glass and drank the rest.  She stood.  One of the men said something to her and she turned.  “Excuse me?” Catty responded, sounding annoyed.  The man approached her, smiling darkly.  Catty scowled at him and turned to walk away.  He grabbed her arm and stopped her.  Catty glared at the man so coldly, Chuck shivered. He hoped she never looked at him that way. When the man didn’t let go, Catty pulled free easily and strutted away.  The men stood up to go too.

“They are going to try to follow her,” Ethan said, almost smiling.

“And that is supposed to make me happy?”

Ethan chuckled.  “Catty has already disappeared.  They will never find her.”

Meet Arti Hurria, MD, FASCO

Jun 29, 2016

Geriatric oncologist at City of Hope, ASCO member since 2001, Board of Directors member, and Professional Development Committee Immediate Past Chair

AC: What led you to oncology?

AH: I grew up in a family of physicians, and both of my parents were doctors. My mom was a radiation oncologist, which drew me to want to care for patients with cancer. With oncology in particular, I was very drawn to the patient population: the idea of being with a patient throughout the trajectory of the disease, and the deep relationships that are forged really drew me to the field.

AC: What’s the last book you read?

AH: I have two answers for that. I love to read with my daughter, and one of her favorite books is You’re Only Old Once by Dr. Seuss, which celebrates the process of aging and the beauty associated with it. Reading this book with my daughter is both a personal joy as well as a professional joy as a geriatric oncologist. Another great book I just read was Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg, and that was a wonderful book about women and professional development, encouraging women in any field to take a leadership role.

AC: What hobbies do you enjoy?

AH: I really like to work out. I’m not great at it, but I enjoy it! I go to the gym and work with a personal trainer who pushes me to try to take my fitness to the next level. Many of my other hobbies revolve around my daughter, so I have acquired an interest in whatever the latest thing is for her. Right now she is starting to learn how to play the guitar, so I’m listening to new music. She loves to bake, so I’m enjoying being in the kitchen with her.

AC: Do you have a personal motto?

AH: The African proverb, “If you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together.” This proverb highlights the incredible strength in working together as a team. So much of our national work in geriatric oncology is team-based. It has been such an incredible experience working together with my colleagues to contribute to this field, and I really believe that in oncology, the greatest advances we make are ones we make through team science. Team-based patient care and team-based research have always been something that I really enjoy and cherish.

AC: What career would you be in if you weren’t an oncologist?

AH: I think I could be happy in a career which involved being with people, hearing their stories, and helping them in any way I can. So I could see myself being a social worker, a caretaker, or even a manicurist or a hairdresser who listens to their clients. I think it would be a career where I could be of service; that seems to be where I get the most satisfaction. I also love to teach, and one of the most satisfying parts of my job is being a mentor and teaching the next generation, so I could see myself really enjoying being a teacher.

AC: What changes do you envision for the field in the next 10 years?

AH: We have a surge in geriatric oncology patients right now worldwide, and in the U.S. we’re going to see a 67% increase in cancer incidence in individuals age 65 and over from 2010 to 2030. At the same time, we’re facing a workforce shortage, which means that over the next 10 years, we will see a continued growth in multidisciplinary team-based care.

AC: What would you say to a young physician thinking about a career in oncology?

AH: This is the most incredible field of medicine to go into. There is no other opportunity where you can so deeply get to know an individual and their family during such a difficult time in their life. And through that partnership with the patient, you provide peace, guidance, and steadfast care. There’s nothing more satisfying than that. The experience that comes with holding a patient’s hand during a cancer diagnosis is one that I don’t think is paralleled anywhere else in medicine, and I would welcome young doctors into the field of oncology and into the field of geriatric oncology in particular. It’s a beautiful way to live one’s life, caring for such an incredible group of patients.

The latest visual candy from your favorite artists

London Grammar share two new videos for “Oh Woman Oh Man” — watch

on June 02, 2017, 2:20pm

On June 9th, CoSigned indie pop outfit London Grammar will issue their latest album, Truth Is A Beautiful Thing. Their second full-length following 2013’s If You Wait, it’s being teased today with not one, but two music videos for single “Oh Woman Oh Man”.

Both are the product of Tony Kaye, a director known for his work on the Oscar-nominated film American History X and Grammy-winning visuals for the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Johnny Cash. They feature poignant footage of the band performing the song as well as random images of children, candles, and skulls, among other things. Check them out below.

“’Oh Woman, Oh Man’ mirrors the question of identity, and to what extent gender plays a role in it,” London Grammar singer Hannah Reid commented in a statement. “We were lucky enough to work with the legendary Tony Kaye on this video, who handled these themes and questions with passion and sensitivity.”

For more of Truth Is A Beautiful Thing, hear “Rooting For You”, “Big Picture”, and the title track.

On restoring responsible political parties

picture.52.1535547351DtrC8R1XQAIIktGAs calls for another Brexit referendum grow ever louder, Frances McCall Rosenbluth and Ian Shapiro discuss their new book, Responsible Parties: Saving Democracy from Itself, in which they argue that attempts to decentralise political decision-making in the US and UK have made governments and political parties less effective and damaged their ability to address constituents’ long-term interests.

Since the 1960s, powerful movements across the democratic world have sought to bring politics closer to the people. Party members more often elect their leaders directly. There has been greater use of referendums and plebiscites. Many political parties have adopted decentralised ways of choosing candidates. Boundaries have been redrawn to create ‘majority-minority districts’ – in which the majority of the constituents in the district are non-white – and thus ensure selection of racial and ethnic minorities. In many (especially newer) democracies, proportional representation (PR) is favoured as more inclusive of non-majority voters. Unlike single member district systems, which generate two big catch-all parties, parties proliferate under PR; minority groups can all vote for parties they expect to fight for them in the legislature. These changes are touted as democratic enhancements that move decisions closer to the people and elect politicians who are less remote from – and more responsive to – the voters.

Paradoxically, however, this decentralisation has been accompanied by dramatic increases in voter alienation. Poll after poll reflects historic lows of citizen trust in politicians, parties and institutions, dramatically underscored in 2016 by the Brexit vote and Donald Trump’s populist stampede to the US presidency. Similar patterns prevail in many democracies, where anti-establishment parties and candidates enjoy unprecedented support from voters. They reject government recommendations in referendums and plebiscites, and elect anti-establishment figures who would not have been taken seriously half a generation ago. Incumbency, which used to be a decisive advantage, seems increasingly to be a liability as ‘tossing the bums out’ shortens political half-lives at every turn. Angry voters flail at their own impotence, waging semi-permanent war on their representatives. Continue reading
