2. The outline of the assessment will be in a (paragraph) narrative format.

3. Review and identify all general themes that involve conduct and behavior application to all employees.

4. What types of evidence or impressions exist (or do not exist) that high moral standards are included in the code of ethics?

5. Provide reflection and examples if the document is clearly or vaguely written.

6. Cite four examples if the tone of the document is generic in nature or more customized according to the organization’s mission.

7. Provide evidence of infractions or sanctions if certain behaviors are not followed.

8. Present examples (of codes) that outside stakeholders will be provided the same consistent moral standards as employee expectations in the organization.

9. Provide a comprehensive summary that includes the focus and scope of codes:

             Are they narrowly written or extremely focused?

             Are the coverage of topics too detailed, too broad, or balanced?

             Do the codes include the depth and breadth of social responsibility, or are    they focused only on the organization’s mission?

            Is the clarity of the language used easy to follow and understand by all levels of employees? Your response should be at least 500 words in length in APA style. All sources used must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.

Separation by lamb blood[1]

החדש הזה לכם ראש חדשים ראשון הוא לכם לחדשי השנה: דברו וגו’ ויקחו להם איש שה לבית-אבת שה לבית: ואם-ימעט הבית מהית משה ולקח הוא ושכנו הקרב אל-ביתו וגו’ ולקחו מן-הדם ונתנו על-שתי המזוזת ועל-המשקוף על הבתים אשר-יאכלו אתו בהם: והיה הדם לכם לאת על הבתים אשר אתם שם וגו’ ואתם לא תצאו איש מפתח-ביתו עד-בקר: ועבר יקוק לנגף את-מצרים וראה את-הדם על-המשקוף וגו’ ולא יתן המשחית לבא אל-בתיכם לנגף
This month will be for you the beginning of the months; for you it is the first for the months of the year. Tell [the Jewish people that]…they will take for them, each man, a lamb for the fathers’ homes, a lamb for each household. If the lamb will not suffice for the household, they and the neighbor close to their house will take…Take from the blood and place it on the two doorposts, and the lintel of the house that you will eat [the offering] in. The blood will be for you a sign on your houses that you will be in…and you shall not leave, each person, from the door of their house, until morning. Hashem will pass by to afflict the Egyptians, and will see the blood on the lintel…and He will not let the Destroyer come to your houses to afflict[2]

Before the plague of the death of the firstborn, Moshe instructed the Jews with several mitzvos. He started by informing them about the Jewish calendar, in which Nissan is the first of the months. This included details of the mitzvah to sanctify the New Moon, establishing the months accordingly. Subsequently, he informed them of the mitzvah of the Pesach offering. This included instructions on selecting a lamb for each household, taking its blood and putting it on the doorposts, and staying indoors until morning. How are we to understand the juxtaposition of these two mitzvos? As well, upon careful examination, we’ll observe that the first mitzvah given to the Jewish people as a whole is the mitzvah to sanctify the New Moon. Why was this mitzvah held in such high esteem that it merited to get the position as the first mitzvah? Finally, with regards to the Pesach offering, why is there so much emphasis on the house? It’s repeated and stressed multiple times. What could be the reason?

Vaeira 5780

Amphibian logic[1]

ושרץ היאר צפרדעים ועלו ובאו בביתך ובחדר משכבך ועל מטתך ובבית עבדיך ובעמך ובתנוריך ובמשארותיך
The frogs will swarm the river, and will go up and come into your house, and your bedroom, on your bed, and into the house of your servants, and in your ovens, and in your bread[2]

The second of the Ten Plagues was that of the swarm of frogs. More than just a noisy nuisance, they made life unbearable. They were literally everywhere, and in everything. An Egyptian couldn’t feel safe taking a bath, or going to bed, or putting on clothes, without bumping into dozens or hundreds of frogs. The Torah says that the frogs even became suicidal, jumping into the Egyptians’ ovens. Food that they were baking became contaminated by the corpses of the frogs. It’s no wonder that Pharaoh begged Moshe to stop the plague[3].

Shemos 5780

Translation issues[1]

ויצו פרעה לכל-עמו לאמר כל-הבן הילוד היארה תשליכהו וכל-הבת תחיון
Pharaoh commanded his entire people, saying: “All male babies that are born shall be thrown into the river, and let all female babies live”[2]

When the Egyptian exile seemed like it couldn’t get any worse, Pharaoh seemed to develop a genocidal bend. First, he ordered the Jewish midwives to kill all male babies that are born. When that plan failed, he commanded his entire people to throw all male babies that are born into the river. Chazal pick up[3] on the fact that Pharaoh’s decree said to kill all male babies. Pharaoh was told by his astrologers that the savior of the Jewish people had been born, but they weren’t sure if he was Egyptian or Jewish. To avoid such a leader emerging, Pharaoh ordered to have all male babies killed. Moshe, who had just been born, managed to avoid the decree. The rest is history. However, the Aramaic translations of the Torah, known as the Targum, seem to say something else[4]. They interpret the verse to be saying that Pharaoh decreed against all Jewish male babies. This seems to exclude any decree against the Egyptians themselves. Can these two sources be reconciled?

Vayechi 5780

Rebuking the impetuous[1]

ראובן בכורי אתה כחי וראשית אוני יתר שאת ויתר עז: פחז כמים אל-תותר כי עלית משכבי אביך אז חללת יצועי עלה
Reuven, you are my firstborn, my strength, the first of my vigor. [Potentially][2] exceeding in position and exceeding in might. Hasty as water, you will not exceed, since you went up on your father’s bed. Then you profaned that which went upon my couch[3]

As Yaakov’s life was ending, he took the opportunity to give his children their final blessings. While accenting their unique traits, he also informed them of their shortcomings. He started with his firstborn Reuven by rebuking him for an incident that had happened decades earlier[4]. When Yaakov’s wife Rochel died, he moved his bed into Rochel’s maidservant Bilhah’s tent. Reuven felt this was an affront to his mother Leah, who should have become Yaakov’s primary wife. Reuven audaciously moved his father’s bed out of Bilhah’s tent and put it into Leah’s[5]. At the time, Yaakov said nothing. Now that Yaakov’s life was ending, it was now or never to rebuke Reuven.

Vayigash 5780

Surprising growth[1]

ויאמר יוסף אל-אחיו אני יוסף העוד אבי חי ולא-יכלו אחיו לענות אתו כי נבהלו מפניו: ויאמר יוסף אל-אחיו גשו-נא אלי ויגשו ויאמר אני יוסף אחיכם אשר-מכרתם אתי מצרימה
Yosef said to his brothers: “I am Yosef; Is my father still alive?” They weren’t able to respond, as they were dumbfounded in front of him. Yosef said to his brothers, “Please come close to me”, and they came close. He said: “I am Yosef, your brother, whom you sold[2] to Egypt”[3]

After fooling his brothers into thinking he was a tyrannical Egyptian viceroy, Yosef finally revealed his identity. He had risen to power after his brothers sold him as a slave, and he was in a position to save his family from the regional famine. Upon revealing himself, the brothers were dumbfounded. They weren’t able to respond, as they were embarrassed[4]. They saw the error of their ways, and felt terrible. They started to back away[5], and Yosef tried to comfort them. He told them to come close. What words of comfort did he choose? He reminded them that they sold him as a slave. How can that be comforting? They were embarrassed enough, and now he has to remind them of their misdeed[6]?

Martial law and People Power

by Pierre Thompson

During the recent consultation with member organisations of Pax Christi International’s Asia-Pacific region, consultation participants visited Bantayog ng mga Bayani, a museum commemorating the struggle against martial law in the Philippines. When Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law in 1972, our docent, Susan Macabuag, had been a student at the University of the Philippines. At the time, students were the most vocal opponents of martial law because they foresaw the danger it posed to democracy. Under military rule, it was illegal to hold gatherings of three or more, or to express political dissent. Liliosa Hilao, a 23-year old student activist, was the first person to die in detention under martial law. Many others were disappeared or tortured. Perhaps the most shocking death would take place thirteen years later when government forces assassinated the opposition leader Ninoy Aquino upon his return to Manila.

The extended period of martial law became an opportunity for the Marcos family to plunder the wealth of the Philippines, turning it into one of the poorest countries in Southeast Asia. The Presidential Commission on Good Government estimated that Marcos stole as much as 10 billion USD from public coffers, which is still mostly unaccounted for. Marcos used the money to buy off his cronies in the military and the police. Martial law also benefited the capitalists because workers could not collectively organize, and guaranteed that U.S. military bases could remain in the Philippines. Perhaps martial law would not have lasted as long without foreign backers of the regime.

The museum invited reflection on the legacy of colonialism and how it created the type of society in which martial law could take hold. Spanish and American colonialism, both political and economic in nature, created a feudal system where the majority did not own land or resources, while a small minority had access to education. During the Second World War, Japanese occupation brought about massive urban destruction. The language of imperialism continues to shape public discourse on the West Philippine Sea, and even used to deflect human rights criticism from the international community. Our visit was well timed: the following day, November 30, was a national holiday commemorating Andres Bonifacio, who sparked the Philippine Revolution against Spain in 1896.

In 1986, it was nonviolent resistance that toppled the Marcos regime. The Catholic Church played a significant role in providing the civic space and coordination for the diverse opposition movement. The opposition movement included workers, professors, teachers, students, farmers, public servants, businessmen, professionals, artists, journalists, and religious. One notable woman religious was Sr. Mary “Christine” Tan, provincial of the Religious of the Good Shepherd. In a vocation story published after her death, Sr. Christine confessed that the institutional Church had vigorously opposed her political activism. A Cardinal had summoned her to Rome only to threaten her with excommunication if she did not cooperate with the Marcos regime; she disobeyed the order. Sr. Christine would go on to help write the new Philippine Constitution and found the Pax Christi section in the Philippines.

After paying our respects to the martyrs and heroes inscribed in the Wall of Remembrance, we visited the EDSA Shrine and People Power Monument. Both commemorate the historic thoroughfare upon which half a million Filipinos descended to signal their nonviolent opposition to the Marcos regime. In doing so, the people created a great tension; the military chose to defect from the Marcos regime rather than fire upon civilians. Although it had been used to suppress the people during martial law, the military has since undergone a transformation and is now widely respected as a professional institution. However, some question whether the imposition of martial law in Mindanao, which has lasted more than six months, is a portent of further challenges to civil-military relations. The only thing we can be sure of is the revolutionary power of nonviolence.

Inspired to Action

In her vocation story, Sr. Christine Tan, RGS, wrote: “There was perennial search in all waves of my life – the search to find God, the search to be authentic, the search for justice within and outside the Church, the search for true freedom, the search of my people for a taste of a life that is human.” In their continuing search for these ideals, the Filipino people serve as an indefatigable witness to Christianity in Asia and a paragon of Gospel nonviolence. This exposure trip refreshed the Pax Christi members with a measure of hope, linking this experience to the work that we have been doing for peace and justice. It influenced our final statement of the Asia Pacific regional consultation, which can be read here.

Extrajudicial killings provoke human rights response from the Philippine Catholic Church

by Pierre Thompson

MANILA – After holding our conference in an affluent hotel for two full days, participants at Pax Christi International’s Asia-Pacific regional consultation were growing restless. Peacebuilders like us tend to feel more comfortable on the periphery rather than in the center; on the streets rather than in the halls of power (though some members have proven remarkably adept at both). Just beyond our hotel walls lay a storied city of stunning contrasts between rich and poor; new and old; life and death. The Philippines is a beleaguered but proud nation which has served as a crossroads of civilizations for five centuries, leading to more than its fair share of suffering from colonization, corruption, dictatorship, poverty and war.

Our excursion on November 29 offered a special opportunity to reflect on contemporary peace and security issues in Metro Manila; to be sure, the issues we explored did not reflect the wide range of conflicts present in the Philippines. Because the theme of our consultation was “toward sustainable peace through active nonviolence”, it was important for us to acknowledge the work of nonviolence activists and peacebuilders who have worked courageously to replace structures of sin with structures of grace. We hoped to relate the challenges in Metro Manila to challenges in our own countries, for, as Pope Francis notes in Laudato Si’, “it cannot be emphasized enough how everything is interconnected.”

Extrajudicial Killings and Church Response

We visited Saint Peter Parish: Shrine of Leaders on Commonwealth Avenue to understand President Rodrigo Duterte’s bloody “war on drugs”. Since mid-2016, the extrajudicial killings (EJK) associated with “Oplan Tokhang” have claimed more than eight thousand lives, raising significant concern over human rights violations. The Diocese of Novaliches, to which Saint Peter Parish belongs, was heavily impacted by EJK due to high concentrations of the urban poor settlements within its ecclesiastical boundary: North Quezon City and North Caloocan City. North Caloocan has been referred to as “the capital of the killing fields in the war on drugs”. Last year, as many as 32 people were killed in Metro Manila in a single night.

The church, having been lax in addressing the social crisis of drug addiction, was jolted into action given the rise in killings. The diocese capitalized on its established partnership mechanisms with government, i.e., UBAS which stands for Ugnayan ng Barangay at Simbahan (Partnership of Barangay and Church) as it felt compelled to act on behalf of the urban poor who could not speak out against the killers for fear of retribution. While church leaders supported the eradication of illegal drugs, they opposed the extrajudicial approach based on their principal commitment to protect human life. In the end, they devised a strategy that underscored the role of the Church in social facilitation/dialogue, psycho-social education, pastoral counseling, spiritual healing, and provision of sanctuary and volunteer outreach.

At Saint Peter Parish, we received an orientation to a diocesan ministry called AKAP, which stands for Abot Kamay Alang-alang sa Pagbabago (“reaching out for new life”). When the war on drugs broke out last year, many drug suspects sought counsel from the church on whether to surrender to the police or to flee, recounted Fr. Luciano Ariel Felloni, parish priest of Our Lady of Lourdes in North Caloocan. Because the police had no protocol for removing a person whose name had been added to the watch list, AKAP initiated a dialogue with the Chief of Police and local city officials. The church negotiated a truce: on September 1, 2016, forty drug suspects surrendered themselves in exchange for a promise by police that they would not be harmed. AKAP invited the bishop and curia, local government officials, and the press to a public ceremony to validate the exchange. From that point on, thousands more people have surrendered themselves peacefully through the facilitation of the church.

“The response to addiction is not sobriety but connection,” explained Fr. Antonio Labiao, parish priest of the Shrine of Our Lady of Mercy. “We have to connect the drug user to himself or herself, to family, to community, to one another.” AKAP provides holistic care for drug users, their families, and the affected communities. There are now six community-based drug rehabilitation program (CBDRP) centers throughout the diocese where drug users can seek treatment. The rehabilitation of drug addicts involves a clinical, spiritual, and vocational dimension. One CBDRP graduate whose drug addiction lasted more than twenty years recognized that he might be dead today were it not for the grace that provided him with a second chance to restore his life. Thus far, only one CBDRP graduate has fallen victim to EJK; many others have integrated into society and made significant contributions to parish life.

Unfortunately, the church has not been able to shelter everyone from EJK. Four bereaved family members of EJK victims (who did not wish to be photographed) told stories that reminded us of the human toll of Duterte’s war on drugs. One woman begged the death squad to spare her 24-year old daughter so that she could at least visit her in prison; they shot her daughter execution-style in front of the family. Another woman prayed that the death squad would kill only her brother or his wife so that the children would not become totally orphaned; they murdered both parents. The vigilantes showed no regard for human dignity, or due process, or trauma inflicted upon family members. These poignant accounts brought all of us to tears. For a short time, we could accompany the survivors on their difficult journey from grief and frustration toward healing and reconciliation.

An extremely disturbing aspect of EJK is the hidden profit motive behind each killing. The funeral parlor will typically arrive shortly after the incident to claim the corpse, and charges at least 15,000 pesos (approximately 300 USD) to release the body of the deceased. Because this is an impossible amount for urban poor families to pay, many victims never receive proper burial or are forced to deal with loan sharks. It is believed that the vigilantes also receive 15,000 pesos for each EJK they carry out. What kind of society values people more in death than in life? How can a program that creates such insecurity among poor people be justified in the name of security? What are the models of nonviolent resistance to EJK? We struggled openly with these questions.

The church acknowledged that it is still in the first stage of response to EJK, and that it would like to achieve more in the field of prevention. AKAP already organizes neighborhood watch groups to monitor unusual activities and document baseline profiles of orphans. AKAP invited us to brainstorm solutions concerning the sustainability of its programs, especially educational assistance and livelihood support for survivors.

Good Credit Score

Good Credit Score

What Does This Look Like?

Good Credit Score

Having a good credit score is a key factor of your financial health to lenders when applying for a personal loan. The better your credit score, the more access you have to better personal loan deals, such as lower interest rates. Four keys that play a part in your credit score:

  • Payment history
  • credit utilization
  • Age of credit
  • Credit inquiries

Two of these factors, credit utilization and age of credit, are especially important when looking into the best option for you to receive a personal loan.

Keep Credit Utilization Low

Debt you carry matters, and debt is divided up into two different categories when it comes to your credit report, revolving loans and installment loans.

Your credit score is affected by the ratio of outstanding balances to available credit on revolving accounts. This ratio is called credit utilization. As your balances on revolving accounts go up, your credit scores goes down because the balances are getting close to their limits. When this happens, your credit utilization is too high and indicates to lenders an inability to meet debt repayment.

Replacing credit card debt with a personal loan can help if you can qualify for a lower interest rate. The same amount of debt on a personal loan may not be as detrimental to your credit score as a revolving loan that is getting close to its limit.

So, if your credit score is low and you have multiple credit cards with balances, consolidating those debts and taking out a personal loan to pay one debt will improve your credit score.

Peach Capital Funding is here to provide you with credit score tips so that you can achieve having a good credit score and have no issues with receive a low rate personal loan when you apply for a loan.

Tree Assistance Program

— Written By

The 2014 Farm Bill authorized the Tree Assistance Program (TAP) to provide financial assistance to eligible orchardists and nursery tree growers to replant or rehabilitate eligible trees, bushes, and vines lost by natural disasters. TAP is administered by the Farm Services Agency (FSA) of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Eligible trees, bushes, and vines are those from which an annual crop is produced for commercial purposes. Nursery trees are also included, as are Christmas trees produced for commercial sale. Forestry trees are ineligible.

To be eligible, trees must have suffered more than a 15 percent mortality loss in a stand due to an eligible natural disaster. The loss must not have been preventable through reasonable and available measures. Loss must be visible and obvious. Eligible producers must have owned the trees during the time of the natural disaster, but do not have to own the land on which they are grown. Replacement must occur within 12 months from TAP application.

This is a very brief overview of the program. For additional information on disaster programs, visit the Farm Service Agency Disaster Assistance Programs website or contact your local FSA office.

A Holy Harrowing and an Empty Hell

Whom would Jesus leave behind? Spoiler alert: no one.

I grew up in a brand of Evangelical Christianity percolating throughout with an ambient anxiety. Despite swimming through a constant stream of rhetorical grace and bathed in the assurances of divine love, the tradition bred considerable consternation: would I, finally, be included among the saved? Do I have enough belief, believe the right things? Have I filed all my spiritual insurance forms?

The popularity of the Left Behind series of novels (including the movie version) puts a slightly different spin on this apocalyptic disquietude: finding assurance for one’s inclusion by excluding others. Or as a friend of mine from seminary more pointedly asked of such a strategy, “How many people have to burn in Hell for you to feel comfortable?”

Today is Holy Saturday – a celestial silence and an earthly pause between the desolation of Good Friday and the rousing announcement of Easter. A lingering grief weights our steps, tugging us back from the rise of anticipatory joy.  This is a peculiar slice of liturgically liminal time when nothing much seems stirring.

Not quite so for some strands of the traditions that would have us see Jesus quite busily at work on this day. One of my favorite icons captures the drama of his labor: Jesus harrows Hell, smashes its gates, and yanks a startled Adam and Eve from their graves and into the blazing light of a new day.chora_anastasis

I see little reason to suppose that Jesus administered orthodoxy tests after tearing down Hell’s fortress, or that he sorted and divided between the worthy and the unworthy prisoners of death, or that anything other than a heart hungry for love and for life – for that Love that is Life – made any difference in his liberating reach. And why should we suppose any of this given the scandalous grace of Jesus’ life and ministry?

In the realm of God that Jesus preached and lived, no prodigal fails to return, no sheep remains missing, no coin ever goes unfound (Luke 15). “Gather up all the fragments, so that nothing may be lost” (John 6). Jesus said this after feeding five thousand people with a few loaves of bread and some fish and with twelve baskets of leftovers, an auspicious number: twelve tribes of Israel, twelve disciples. Apparently even Judas is scooped up among the rescued bits so that nothing and no one will ever be lost.

The Gospel astonishes – or should – in an American society where Syrian refugees are left behind (even after they are gassed by others and bombed by us); where children living in poverty are left behind in the decimation of public education; where low-income elders are left behind in a health care system designed for the comfortably employed and independently wealthy; where all of the planet’s other animals and its very ecosystems are left behind to boil, choke, starve, shrink, and whither for the greater good of corporate profits.

Christian faith offers ample reason to resist these political postures and policies with a Gospel that so many Christians – myself included – find difficult to embrace. Preaching and living this Gospel ought to send shock waves through our social fabric, ruffling the preened feathers of productivity, even foment revolutionary unrest.

Perhaps it’s just unsustainable, this profound message of unrelenting and unqualified grace. The rawness of this grace, its refusal to consider merit of any kind, grates against ambition and taints the laurels of achievement. Perhaps too many of us Christians – myself included – worry that grace itself is a finite commodity, precious but scarce, or maybe we too often live as the prodigal son’s older brother: resentful of Daddy’s generosity.

Whatever the reasons, I find this Holy Saturday both bracing and harrowing. That icon I love? It’s no throwback to a literal reading of Genesis, nor mere nod to a sentimental reunion with Adam and Eve. As an iconic representation of humanity’s origins, those figures are us, all of us, no exceptions. And we, all of us, are yanked from our tombs.

May the joy of Easter season about to dawn inspire us to live with and among all other creatures as if no one is left behind – because no one is.

Living on the Edge

This peculiar day reminds me of the 1990 film, “Postcards from the Edge,” mostly because of its wonderful title. I imagine Jesus sending one of those postcards especially today, called “Holy Saturday” on the Christian calendar. It would read, “Don’t be afraid.”

Edges can certainly trouble and terrify when living on the edge of foreclosure, or the edge of terminal illness, or the edges of a crumbling relationship. Edges can also intrigue and entice as gateways, portals, and thresholds.

In ancient mythologies “liminal deities” preside over doorways, lending spiritual significance to border crossings. In Greco-Roman pantheons, Hermes/Mercury was the messenger of the gods and guide of the dead, just as Janus became the god of gateways, of beginnings and endings. Janus, the god with one face looking forward and another looking back, is often associated with New Year’s Day, January 1.janus

“Holy Saturday” sits on the potent edge between Good Friday and Easter, and it certainly qualifies as a peculiar day. Suspended between the Cross and an empty tomb, Christian communities and clergy busy themselves preparing for tomorrow’s liturgical festivities. Christian tradition has Jesus busy with something else.

On this day in the Christian imagination Jesus descends into the underworld to rescue all those held captive by the Devil. In Janus-like fashion, the crucified Jesus refuses to forget the past even as he looks forward to a promised future.

chora_anastasis3One of my favorite depictions of this sacred edge resides in the Byzantine Church of the Savior in Chora, Istanbul, where a gorgeous fresco covers the apse. It depicts Jesus, standing on the gates of hell that he has just smashed, raising Adam and Eve from their graves. More accurately, he’s dragging them out from death. I can’t help but see both astonishment and a touch of reluctance in their postures: “Really? You remembered us? But where are we are going? What lies ahead?”

I love Advent and Christmas for the reassurance that flesh matters. I love Epiphany for its expansive horizons of who celebrates God in flesh. I pay attention to Ash Wednesday (for the sake of my mortality) and Lent moves me to live for what matters. But Good Friday proves painful and Easter somehow premature. I love this day in between, this day that sits on the edge. It feels both honest and fantastical all at the same time.

Reflecting on edges I nearly always think of a beach, that liminal space where land and sea meet. Most human beings seem ineluctably drawn to those sandy liminal locations – dry yet also wet; solid but shifting; navigable while also treacherous. Humans stroll along them, launch ships from them, enjoy bonfires and picnics on them—and occasionally fall prey to their unpredictable dangers. A “day at the beach” can entail hours of frolicking in the surf yet they always lead back to the familiar comforts of a place to stand, or more likely to sit and enjoy food and drink.

I imagine the Eucharistic Table sitting on that kind of liminal edge, where Christians share bread and wine on the edge between memory and hope. There we remember suffering and death even as we proclaim resurrection. The former is barely past; the latter hasn’t quite yet arrived.table_beach

To me, Easter is above all a liminal, edgy season, which “Holy Saturday” captures so well. This season invites us to live on the edge, refusing to remain mired in a broken past yet not quite sure what stepping over the horizon will look like. Edgy living is both hopeful and humble, marked by a confidence about the future but without any swagger.

It also takes courage to live on the edge, which is why I’m grateful for this peculiar day and the postcard I imagine Jesus sending from his sojourn among the dead: “Don’t be afraid.”

As a spiritual practice I enjoy returning to some of my favorite hymn tunes and writing new lyrics to accompany them. I did that this Lenten season with the wonderful American folk melody, “Land of Rest” (you might recognize it from the soundtrack to Ken Burns’ PBS documentary on US National Parks). I offer it here for a bit sustenance for our lives on the edge.

Harbor Home

From mountain high and ocean deep
along a distant shore,
a starry host with vigil keep
a bright and open door.

Unfurl the sails to conquer fear
‘midst gale and storm-tossed wave,
the Spirit guides all creatures dear,
these mortal ships to save.

The Table set in trackless seas
where Christ before us trod,
will chart the course with mysteries
to harbor home in God.

(Words: ©2013, Jay Emerson Johnson
Music: Land of Rest, American folk melody)

President of Kyrgyzstan declares state of emergency for capital Bishkek

Kyrgyzstan's president Sooronbay Sharipovich Jeenbekov has declared a state of emergency for the capital Bishkek in order to get the unrest after the parliamentary elections under control.

The president's office announced on Friday that a curfew would be imposed and security measures tightened. The state of emergency comes into effect on Friday at 20:00 (local time) and remains in effect until October 21 at 08:00. The head of state also issued an order to the military to station soldiers in Bishkek.

Previously, the controversial president had declared himself ready to resign under certain conditions. "I am ready to give up the presidency of the Kyrgyz Republic as soon as the legitimate executive authorities have been confirmed and we are back on the path of legality," said Jeenbekov in a speech published on his website early Friday morning. In addition, a date for new elections must first be set.

Fiddleheads- Sources + Health Benefits.

As a child growing up in New Brunswick, I always wondered what the green road sign with a white swirl on it stood for. Now I know.

Fiddleheads, also known as fiddlehead greens, are tightly curled fronds found at the bottom of young ferns. The name refers to their appearance of the head of a fiddle or violin. Mostly found in New England, Maine and Eastern Canada. They require a very wet and wild environment, which explains why our spring months are the best time for harvesting.

In my opinion, Fiddleheads are best when lightly steamed, smothered in butter, and seasoned with salt and pepper. If you don’t care for the actual taste of fiddleheads, you can sauté them like you would asparagus and add hollandaise sauce. They can be pickled in apple cider vinegar with shallots and canned. They can be sautéed with mushrooms and pancetta too for extra flavour, or blended in a smoothie. The possibilities are endless, you just have to get creative, and here’s why you’d want to.

Fiddleheads have many health benefits if eaten regularly. High in Vitamins and nutrients including Vitamin C, Vitamins B1+B2, Iron, potassium, phosphorus, and omega-3 fatty acids, to name a few. There abundance of vitamin A makes for an excellent food choice in maintaining good eyesight. As a rich source of Manganese, which assists in the formation of bone hormones and metabolism enzymes, they can lower the risk of osteoporosis. Because of their fair amount of potassium and almost NO sodium, they can help against high blood pressure. Furthermore, fiddleheads are dense in vitamin A+C so they can boost your immune system.

Needless to say, if your feeling under the weather or unenergized lately (this rain is so depressing) than maybe you should give these swirly, little green guys a try!

Vanessa Arbuthnott Adds Wallpaper to Collection

For the love of rose from Vanessa Arbuthnott

For the Love of Rose from Vanessa Arbuthnott, a modern take on a traditional toile theme

Vanessa Arbuthnott has turned a few of her most popular fabrics into a wallpaper collection. Offering five designs in 17 colourways, the wall coverings and wallpapers are printed in the UK using acrylic inks, which are environmentally safe and have long lasting colourfastness.

Pictured above is For the Love of Rose, a modern take on a traditional toile theme, with scenes depicting a gypsy caravan, washing line-drying in the summer sun and Vanessa’s goats, geese and chickens – even her whippet Ruby!

Expanding on the inspiration behind her two latest collections Vanessa said, “I kept being asked for wallpapers to complement some of the fabric designs, and from there is seemed a natural next step to incorporate a neat, edited range of weaves that would work with the existing printed fabrics and new wall coverings. I love the colour and texture of woven fabrics, the feel of individual spun yarns and the handle of the resulting fabric.”

In addition to the wall coverings, a new woven range encompasses four subtle yet striking designs, each in two different colourways, which coordinate with the current Vanessa Arbuthnott printed and plain fabrics. The ‘Scandinavian Wovens’ mark a new departure for Vanessa, as hitherto she has concentrated primarily on printed fabrics, complemented by a selection of organic plain weaves.

The new Vanessa Arbuthnott woven range is produced from 100% eco-friendly flax. These fabrics have been pre-washed to make a soft, resilient fabric, ideal for curtains and still durable enough to be used in upholstery. The particular beauty of the weaves is that they are equally attractive on either side and, as a result, can make stunning unlined curtains or blinds.

I have loved that verse for a long, long time . . . I'm glad it has special meaning for you, PETER.

Good stuff. Can I ask just one thing? Can you post more of this?

I’m just interjecting reason into the dialogue here. We all want to be good at what we do. You’re a pastor. I’m grateful for the flock you shepherd. As said shepherd, don’t they need (and deserve) to see their pastor as a man of encouragement, love, and cooperation? Now you may be that person. But that’s not what comes across on most of the posts here.

And no, we don’t know one another, so I don’t know what you’re like in real life. But I’d hope that as a proclaimer of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, you treat your local congregation with more patience, love, and kindness than is typical in most posts found here.

I also understand the need to make sure convention policies are on the up-and-up. I applaud your fervor in doing such. I don’t agree with most (any) of your views, but you definitely have the right to your opinion. But is the personal blog for a pastor the place for that?

Am I suggesting you stop blogging? By no means. Am I suggesting you not write critical posts? Again, No. But I beg of you as a minister of the Gospel of peace and life, please represent Christ and His Kingdom in a way worthy of the Cross.

We as Baptists talk about the Great Commission a lot. So much so that we want to change our name to that (a point which I might even agree with your take on). So to close, I ask, what about the recent content posted here is helping men and women to “Go Ye Therefore”?

I want you to succeed as a pastor. I want your congregation to succeed as a local fellowship of faith. But I just don’t see how that is possible when the words written here are filled with skepticism, negativity, doubt, and venom. You can’t just detach what is written here and what is preached in the pulpit. It just can’t be done.

If you want to moderate this comment and email me directly, by all means, proceed. I’m not trying to embarrass or scold you. I want to encourage you to become the best pastor for your people so that the Kingdom may be grown and God be made known.

Travel: Rallying A Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica Into Chantilly Is A Special Experience

Rallying A Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica Into Chantilly Is A Special Experience

Ted Gushue By Ted Gushue
September 5, 2016

Photography by Ted Gushue

When my friend Guillaume Le Metayer, a recent father of two gorgeous twin girls (literally, one month old to the day) told me that his wife Camille had given him clearance to spend the day rallying around France in a 1954 Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica Racer, I was obviously excited for him. “Congratulations, dude! What an awesome experience that will be leading up to Chantilly!”

But when he said: “No, you don’t understand—I need a co-pilot,” my jaw dropped to the floor.

This is the type of car that you dream about someday seeing, in a photo someone took, on a lawn, somewhere. This is the kind of car you dream of hearing drive by you on a country road on a Saturday morning. This is a car that I was going to get to ride in for a whole day.

It reeked of petrol, it was a bear to shift, and it was bat out of hell fast. Absolutely perfect.

The car was to be part of the rally leading up to the Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille, and would be alongside some truly gorgeous machines. Notably a smattering of Lamborghini Miuras, a Toyota 2000 GT piloted by the coolest woman I’ve ever met, an Alfa Romeo TZ, a hulking Hispano Suiza, a Giulietta ZA, Fiat 8V Zagato, and many more.

The morning started out just after dawn in a hazy dew, with a brisk temperature keeping the idling classics quite happy. There’s something so romantic about a slightly chilly morning getting everyone in the mood for a long day of driving around the countryside.

As the cars were prepped, I poked around, snapping away at some of the world’s most beautiful cars about to go for a drive, it was then I met Gaby Von Oppenheim, driver of the 2000 GT. “I’ve owned it for over 10 years!” She exclaimed in a thick German accent.

I naturally stared back at the 6 foot tall stoic blonde beauty and scratched my head—where in the world did this woman come from? I’ve only ever seen 2-3 2000GTs in my life and here was one that had been driven all over Europe for ages.

“When I’m not racing on the Nurburgring, it’s easily my favorite car to drive—although today with these bumpy roads she is behaving a bit like a pregnant pigeon.” Apparently her collection is quite impressive, consisting of some exceptionally rare hardware from Stuttgart.

Needless to say, everyone in the world needs to be more like Gaby Von Oppenheim.

The drive took us only 80 miles all around the area surrounding Chantilly castle, leading up to a spectacular lunch at an Abbey not far from the grounds. While sitting there in a deeply international crowd, I had that feeling that I’ve had a lot lately—the passion that brings us all together is shared around the world so beautifully and efficiently, that even if you don’t speak the language…you still kind of speak the language.

In the parking lot, I had an entire conversation with an older gentleman without even speaking—just gesturing to the gorgeous nature of the Frazer Nash. Guillaume walked over to translate, at which point I started to understand the truly special nature of the Frazer Nash.

It’s not a replica in the sense that it is a replica, it’s title is derived from the cars wins at Le Mans, so it is in a factory produced replica of the winning race car. A replica of the this car would technically be a 1954 Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica Replica…if that makes sense.

A bit about the car from its owner: “Just to prove how wonderfully versatile this magnificent car really is, a few weeks ago we drove it from Belgium to Silverstone in the UK on the Thursday, practiced it on the Friday, raced it on the Saturday, and drove it back on the Sunday, a round trip of over 1200 km, plus a practice and race, no problems!” What more could you ask for?

“FN209 was constructed in 1954 as a standard 200-series parallel tube chassis, complete with the usual leaf-spring front suspension, Austin rear axle, adjustable rear torsion bars, steel-rimmed centre-lock wire wheels and cast iron brake drums,” the owner says. “It was fitted with Bristol engine number BS4/412, which was located well back in the chassis as per the Sebring models FN201 and FN207. The engine was subsequently removed by the factory and the rest of the rolling chassis stripped of its other components and the bare chassis stored at the factory until the late 1960s, AFN passed it over (along with all other remaining post war spares) to the famous lady racing driver Betty Haig, Grand niece of Field-Marshal the Earl Haig, K.G., G.C.B., O.M,  she was also a leading member of the Frazer Nash Club.”

Needless to say, it’s an absolute beast.

A very special thank you to Guillaume Le Metayer and the owner of the Frazer Nash. For more information on the car, please check out Historical Competition Services Belgium.

Lever request is a document in The White March - Part I.

Description[edit | edit source]

Items in italics are quoted directly from the game.
This note is written in fine script.

"The lever for the artillery lift has broken again. I've been telling my men to be as careful as possible while using the lift, but it's difficult to keep your balance on the thing. One bad bump nearly sent a handful of them off the edge and I'd rather they break a lever to keep their balance than fall off. Unfortunately, it was a clean break this time. We'll need this lever as soon as possible."

Scrawled across the bottom in thick ink is an additional note:

"If your men stopped taking up so much ammunition at a time this wouldn't be a problem. This'll be the last lever you ever get. Next time you're just getting a rammer."

Sophie WIP continues

Hey y’all! Quick note about Covid. Please stay home and safe. Watch out for your vulnerable family members and friends. Love each other. If you feel lonely, go chat up the reaper forums (they’re super amazing), hit me up, go for a walk. This social distancing thing really does work, but don’t isolate yourself into a frenzy. Wash your hands, and stay safe! Now that that’s over …

Reminder of what we’re working on.

Still working on this Sophie. I felt like the wings weren’t quite working, so I phoned a friend again. 🤣 He agreed that it wasn’t working, and so I started again!

He also had some great advice,”all leather doesn’t have to be brown”. While I know this in my head, sometimes I have a rut I fall into. It’s called walnut brown, muddy brown, ginger cookie with a seraphim sepia wash. 🤣 But I decided to go texture-y on the leg pieces (greaves?) And try for a crocodile print. Let me know if it works for y’all!

I think it works! I probably have some fine tuning to go, but I like the idea. I also started working on the back of the wings. I’m really trying to get this shading/highlighting/light direction thing down. I think it is starting to click!

I hope you can see from this angle. I can’t attach the wings yet, so it’s hard to get a picture of them. The left wing is straight up and down in her back, so I used classical zenithal highlighting. The right wing is extended, so the shadows and highlights play differently. They’re weird. But I think I got it! This is gothic crimson with dark elf shadow, then gothic crimson, then briar rose. Every now and then I throw in some nightshade purple for super shadows. On the other side, I started trying something new.

Same colors, but I was going for a watercolor-look. I also threw in some clear magenta at the very top. Still a WIP, but I’m happy with the saturation.

All together for effect! Still have to figure out what I’m doing with the hair and the metal, but I’m definitely getting there and liking it!! I also have no idea how I’m going to base her. Lol

Y’all let me know what you think, and what you’re working on! Stay safe and take care of each other!!

  1. I’m obsessed with this one, those WINGS and those GREAVES are phenomenal! Way to go, and all in your spare time while rocking being a mom and I’m school. You’re amazing.

  • Awful
Image may contain: Face, Human, Person, and Art

Via SoundCloud

Emerging from a brief period of silence following March's I'm a Piece of Shit**, “Heartthrob” sees Awful Records leader, Father, spitting his unique brand of infectious bouncy rap in peak form. Over a twinkly beat that's one part “Broke Boi” and three parts Nintendo Gameboy, Father guides us through the usual downer parties, emo rap revelations, and nonchalant threats that populate his repertoire.

While his lyrical content doesn't break new ground, Father’s conversational yet airtight flow is a show-stealer. He makes riding producer meltycanon’s skittering 808s seem like a breeze, switching flows on a dime in a casual monotone that suggests he might also be browsing Twitter on his iPhone. Considering the ATL native jumpstarted his rap career with a feature consisting of a six line verse, his ability to craft unconventional sleeper hits is not a surprise. Yet, the less it sounds like Father is trying, the more impressive his continued success becomes.

Tourism SMEs, service quality and destination competitiveness.

Book cover for Tourism SMEs, service quality and destination competitiveness.

This book is a collection of papers drawn from academic and practitioner research presented at the Tourism Research 2002 conference held in Cardiff. It comments on a range of issues concerning small and medium-sized tourism enterprises (tourism SMEs) in diverse destinations worldwide, and explores various aspects of a model of tourism SMEs proposed in chapter 1. The collection is arranged into the...

Chapter 21 (Page no: 325)

'A virtual huanying, selamat datang and herzlich willkommen!' The internet as a cross-cultural promotional tool for tourism.

This chapter considers the role of the internet as a cross-cultural communication and marketing tool in tourism. It reviews the results of two studies conducted in 2002 to determine how European destinations respond to the opportunity offered by the internet. The first study examined the internationality of the web sites of 60 tourism destinations in Germany, Austria and the German-speaking part of Switzerland. The second study analysed the multilingual and multicultural content of the regional British Tourist Authority (BTA) visitor web sites. The chapter concludes by providing practical recommendations for destination management organizations and small and medium-sized tourism organizations.

This Is The Best Example Of Plus 1 I Can Think Of

Top 5 TE secretsPlus 1 is such a simple concept but there are many different ways of making it work.

At its most simple, Plus 1 is doing regular small but significant actions which, when added together, will make a long-term difference to your life.

It could also be something which lets you get what you want but which also helps others achieve their goals and ambitions at the same time.

If all of that sounds too complicated, then think of Plus 1 as about making progress.

All of the above can be summed up with something really awesome that William Miller has just decided to do.

William is one of the most well known and well liked traffic exchange owners in this business and a large part of this is that he cares about his customers and he cares about he wider traffic exchange community.

He also knows that when you make the right investments in your business then you will get rewards down the line.

So it comes as no surprise that he was one of the very first to take the ultimate ‘done for you’ package at ListViral where you get a custom-made lead capture page and 60-day email series which is made for you and you alone.

William bought this and it allowed him to build his list while also promoting his own programs…by any definition this is a smart business move.

But what he did next was the surprise and it is where the Plus 1 mentality comes in.

William went one step further…he opened up his own private ‘done for you’ package to everyone.

So now every ListViral member has the option of building their lists by leveraging William’s product line and, in this way, the potential to Plus 1 is virtually unlimited.

Graduate Program

The Graduate Program of Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology is a PhD Degree Program in the Department of Philosophy. The PNP PhD is not a general cognitive science program. Rather, PNP supplements graduate training in philosophy with additional course work and research on modes of inquiry, empirical results and theoretical perspectives of psychology and the neurosciences. The aim of the program is to turn out first-rate philosophers with a strong ancillary competence in areas of Neuroscience and Psychology related to their research. Admission to the Program is highly competitive.

The PNP PhD program reflects a growing awareness among philosophers of mind of the importance of an informed interdisciplinary approach to understanding the mind and brain. Key elements of such an interdisciplinary approach include knowledge of the sciences of the mind including findings from cognitive neuroscience, psychology and artificial intelligence, as well as philosophical perspectives on these sciences and on the mind.
