1. What relationships exist between rapid climate, hydrologic, and ecosystem changes? Multi-century patterns of climate change and their effects on resources such as water present a key area of uncertainty in paleoclimatology. For this reason, I have used ground-penetrating radar (GPR) analyses and sediment cores from small lakes to evaluate rapid, century-scale hydrologic fluctuations. Thus far, my work supports the expectation that ecosystems may be highly sensitive even to modest climate changes.
2. At what scale could even modest climatic forcing, such as those during the Holocene, produce abrupt climate changes? A central goal of my dissertation (and now my postdoctoral research) is to understand how changes, such as those discussed above, fit into hemispheric patterns of climate change. Abrupt climate changes range from local shifts (e.g., only focused near shifts in ocean and atmospheric fronts) to global transformations. To evaluate the mosaic of such changes that may have developed across the Northern Hemisphere throughout the Holocene, my funding from NASA and a nationally competitive EPA STAR fellowship have allowed me to develop statistically-robust paleoclimate reconstructions based on >1600 fossil pollen datasets from Europe and North America. I am using the reconstructions to produce novel maps of the magnitudes and rates of Holocene temperature changes.
Given that the Holocene represents the baseline from which our current climate state is developing, and contains a wealth of paleoclimate data, organized study of the Earth System over this time period will provide useful empirical examples of changes that may be possible in a warm world.

Our Brains Trick Us Into Trusting Rich People. Here's How.
Sarah Watts Contributor
Reporting on the science of human behavior
Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz speaks at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., Thursday, Feb. 7, 2019. (AP Photo/Michael Conroy)
In 2015, when Donald Trump announced his candidacy for U.S. president, he quickly became a serious contender, beating out politicians with years of political experience such as Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush. It was a turn that surprised many, given that he had no military experience and an extremely polarizing political platform. Despite his inexperience, Trump beat out Democratic presidential candidate Hilary Clinton in the majority of states, the voters swayed by his promise to create jobs and bolster the economy.
Last month, in anticipation of the 2020 election, former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz tweeted that he was "seriously considering" running for president as an independent candidate. His qualifications? Like Trump, he has few that would render him fit for the US presidency – except for being a natural born citizen with enough money to launch a national campaign.
The fact that news outlets were so quick to cover Schultz implies that his tweets have some credibility. But instant credibility of someone with no political experience is a curious thing. Why are voters and media outlets so quick to believe and trust rich people – particularly wealthy, white men?
"There are three well-known cognitive biases that come into play in situations like this," said Dr. Peggy Sue Loroz, consumer psychologist and professor of marketing at Gonzaga University. The first, she explained, is called the "halo effect." In other words, when we see a person with one positive quality we tend to attribute other (often unrelated) positive qualities to them as well. "When we have limited information about a person, our brains try to fill in the blanks quickly and make sense of a situation," Loroz said.
Success can be like that, too, said Loroz: "If we know someone's successful, we might also assume they must be intelligent, fair-minded, and politically savvy. We know one positive thing about them, so others must also carry over."
The second cognitive bias is called the mere-exposure effect, a phenomenon where people develop preference for things only because they are familiar.
"Schultz or Trump, they're more known to us than other political candidates might be," Loroz said. "Our brain doesn't do the hard work of evaluating experience and being careful in our judgement of others. Our brains just say, well, I know this person and I just feel more comfortable."
The mere-exposure effect might also explain why actress and media mogul Oprah Winfrey is so implicitly trusted, too – and why her Book Club and Favorite Things recommendations consistently sell like hotcakes, thanks to her influence. Loroz said: "With Oprah, she's a wealthy person and that might influence our perceptions of her from a halo standpoint. But we're also very familiar with her because she comes into fans homes every day. We feel like we have a real connection with her."
The third bias people have is called the fundamental attribution error. In looking at a person's success, consumers tend to discount situational factors that led to that person's success and attribute it all to the person himself. Donald Trump, for example, was born into a wealthy family and gifted some of that wealth in order to start his first business – but thanks to the fundamental attribution error, people attribute his wealth to being innately intelligent and savvy alone.
What's worse: Not only do consumers tend to think that rich people are inherently more trustworthy due to the "halo effect" and other cognitive biases, but that the opposite is also true. Nicknamed the "horn effect," people tend to clump together and amplify a person's perceived negative traits as well. One study, published in Frontiers in Psychology, found that people were more likely to trust others who they considered conventionally attractive, and less likely to trust those they thought were ugly. Research also shows that "unattractive defendants" get longer, harsher sentences than conventionally attractive criminals.
Fortunately, our cognitive biases don't completely run the show, according to Loroz: If consumers are highly motivated, with time to evaluate decisions carefully – whether they're in the voting booth or in the supermarket – celebrity endorsement or influence is less likely to factor into their choice. But people making lower-risk decisions, or decisions they're not personally invested in, might use "the credibility or attractiveness of a celebrity endorsement as a shortcut for really carefully considering information," Loroz said.
From book club recommendations to presidential platforms, it seems our brain is constantly trying to trick us into following the lead of rich people, regardless of what they're selling. The solution? Take your time before you make a decision, do your research, and be careful who you trust.

\section{Introduction}
\label{sect:intro}

Pulsar emission mechanism is a long standing problem since the
discovery of the first pulsar in 1968 \citep{hbp+68}. There has been
much effort to understand emission properties on both observational
and theorectical aspects.  Based on observations, cone and core
components, which have different spectral indices and polarization
properties, have been identified from mean pulsar profiles
\citep{r83}. Theoretically, it is not clear yet whether the emission
is generated above the polar cap or near the light cylinder though
radio polarization angle curves hint for the region near the polar cap
\citep{rc69,k70}, while multi-band observations of the Crab pulsar
show that the emission comes from the very outer region near the light
cylinder in pulsar magnetosphere \citep{mh96}.
Very steep spectra and very high temperature of pulsar emission are
very intriguing, which implies that the emission is generated by a
bunch of particles in a coherent mode \citep{m06} when they drift out
in pulsar magnetosphere.  Because of scintillation due to motion of
irregular clumps of interstellar medium, the radio flux densities of
point sources such as nearby pulsars are difficult to measure
especially at low frequencies.  Previously flux densities of pulsars
have to be measured at many epochs at several frequencies, and then
are averaged and fitted for spectral indexes to overcome different
scintillation at different frequencies.

\end{table}

The flux density measurements $S_{\nu}$ observed at a number of
frequencies $\nu$ are fitted by a power law, $S_{\nu} \sim
\nu^{\alpha}$ to get a spectral index, $\alpha$.  Pulsar spectral
indices have previously been determined from measurements in wide
frequency ranges (see Table~\ref{tab1}).
\citet{s73} made the first extensive analysis of spectra of 27
pulsars observed with the German 100~m and 25~m telescopes combined
with flux densities published in literature, and found the turn-over
behaviour at low frequencies and spectral break at high frequencies.
\citet{mgj+94} published spectra for 45 pulsars by using flux
densities over a wide frequency range from 0.1 GHz to 30 GHz.
A comprehensive database for pulsar flux densities of 280 pulsars from
0.4 GHz to 1.6 GHz was published by \citet{lyl+95}. They found a weak
inverse correlation between spectral index and characteristic age for
normal pulsars and a strong positive correlation between spectral
index and period for millisecond pulsars.
\citet{tbm+98} published flux densities for 216 southern pulsars and
19 millisecond pulsars between 436~MHz and 1660~MHz and showed that
normal pulsars have a spectral index between $-3.5$ and $+0.5$ with a
peak around $-1.7$, while millisecond pulsars have spectral indices in
a narrow range between $-3$ and $-1$.
\citet{kxl+98} also analyzed spectra of 23 millisecond pulsars and
found the indices distribute in the range from $-1.0$ to $-2.0$, which is much
narrower than the range for normal pulsars.
\citet{kkw+98} analyzed pulse shape at 4.85~GHz and determined
spectral indices from flux densities at 1.4 GHz and 4.85 GHz for 144
weak pulsars, and showed the spectral index distribution peaks around
$-1.8$ in the range of $-3.7$ $\sim$ $-0.3$.
\citet{mkk+00} collected flux densities between 0.4 GHz to 23 GHz in
literature and analyzed spectra for 281 pulsars, and found that some
pulsars have a spectral break near 1 GHz or lower frequencies, which
are probably due to some components disappearing at high frequencies
as noticed previously \citep{srw75, ikms79, kll+99}.

\input{tab2.tex}

In this paper, we present new measurements for flux densities of 228
pulsars at the 4 sub-bands within a total bandwidth of 256~MHz around
1.4~GHz observed with the Parkes 64~m telescope, from which spectral
indices are determined. In Section 2, we describe our observations and
data reduction procedures. In Section 3, our results are compared with
data in literatures, and the spectral indices are correlated with
pulsar characteristic parameters to seek any hint for emission
process. The conclusions are given in Section 4.

\section{Observations and data reduction}

About 500 pulsars have been observed with the Parkes telescope between
2006 August and 2008 February. Data were taken by using the central
beam of the multibeam receiver at a central frequency of 1369 MHz and
a bandwidth of 256 MHz, with one session in 2007 March exceptionally
in which the H-OH receiver was used to observe at a central frequency
of 1433 MHz.  These observations are all well-calibrated with the on
and off observations of the strong radio source Hydra A, which has a
flux density of 43 Jy at 1400 MHz. All data are on-line folded to
produce mean pulse profiles in every 1-minute sub-integrations for 512
frequency channels.

In the offline data reduction, we cleaned the radio frequency
interference in channal-time date-cube by removing some bad
channels and some strong term interference in the wide band. We then
obtained the mean pulsar profiles in four sub-bands by summing data of
all sub-intergrations and two polarizations, and measured the pulsar
mean flux densities at these four sub-bands, as listed in
Table~\ref{tab2}. The uncertainty of the mean flux density was
estimated from the standard deviation of off-pulse window and the
sampling number of the on-pulse window.

\input{fig1.tex}

To get the spectral index, we applied a weighted least-squares approach by fitting
a power law to the mean flux densities at these four sub-bands, and
calculated the standard error $\sigma_{\alpha}$ of $\alpha$ by the
$\chi^{2}$ minimization technique. We found that most pulsars either
scintillate or are too weak at some or all subbands, which means that we can not
 properly fit the spectral index. Only when pulsar dispersion
measure $DM \gs $100~cm$^{-3}$pc and pulsars are strong enough, the
scintillation effect can be averaged out. The flux densities of these
pulsars at four sub-bands are fitted with a power law to get the
spectral indices as shown in Figure~\ref{fig1}.

\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.4\textwidth,angle=270]{histogram.ps}
\caption{Distribution of spectral indices for the 228 pulsars peaks
  at around $-2.2$ in the range of $-4.8$ to $-0.5$. }
\label{fig2}
\end{figure}

\section{Results and discussions}

We calculated the flux densities of 228 pulsars at four sub-bands which can be
consistently fitted with a power law, as listed in
Table~\ref{tab2}. Note that previously, pulsars were observed for
spectral indices using different telescopes by different authors,
and/or calibrated by different sources or processed with different
procedures, which may introduce different systematical
uncertainties. Our measurements presented here are carried out in a
relatively smaller frequency range, and the flux densities are
measured by one set of instruments in one wide band observation and
are consistently calibrated by one source with the same procedure,
which can avoid not only systematical uncertainties but also pulsar
flux density changes due to long-term deflective or reflective
scintillation effects. The spectral indices we obtained are
distributed in the range of $-4.8$ to $-0.5$, with a peak around
$-2.2$, as showed in Figure~\ref{fig2}.

\end{table}

We also compiled spectral indices of pulsars in the
literature. Previously, spectral indices have been determined for 426
pulsars
\citep{s73,kxl+98,mgj+94,lyl+95,tbm+98,kkw+98,mkk+00,srw75,ikms79,
  kll+99,c78,dkj+14,bjl+11,sab86,dcl09,ffb91,hmm+11,jml+09,lr99,
  lzb+00,lx00,mac+02,mal96,mms00,rcc+70,rcg+68}. In our sample, 28
pulsars have their spectral indices determined in the literature, and 200 weak
pulsars have newly determined spectral indices.  We compared the
spectral indices of 28 pulsars we measured with those in literature in
Table~\ref{tab3}, and found that our values are systematically
steeper. Our results seem to be reasonable because the frequency range for flux densities we
measured is at the high end of the multi-frequency wide range in
literature and because flux densities at lower frequencies always
show the turn-over which causes a global flat spectrum.

To find clues for pulsar emission process, we plot in
Figure~\ref{fig3} the spectral indices of pulsars against pulsar
rotation period $P$, the spin-down rate $\dot{P}$, and the
characteristic age $\tau=P/2\dot{P}$, the surface magnetic field
strength $B_{\mathrm{S}} \propto\sqrt{P\dot{P}}$, the spin-down energy
loss rate $\dot{E}\propto\dot{P}/P^{3}$, and also the potential drop
in the polar gap $\Delta\Psi\propto {P^{-3/2}{\dot{P}}^{1/2}}$ which
is related to particle acceleration. The spearman rank correlation
parameter ($r$) is used to describe the degree of correlation
\citep{ptvf92}, in which $r=1$ stands for strong correlation and $r=0$
for no correlation. We confirm the conclusion of previous authors
\citep[e.g.][]{lyl+95} that there are some very weak correlations
($r\sim0.3$) between spectral indices and $\dot{E}$ and $\Delta\Psi$
(see Table~\ref{tab4}), which implies that the emission properties are
physically related to particle acceleration process.

\section{Conclusions}

We obtained the flux densities at the 4 subbands for 228 pulsars
observed the Parkes 64~m telescope at 1.4~GHz, and determined their
spectral indices, among which 200 are obtained for the first time. The
indices have a broad distribution in the range of $-4.8$ to
$-0.5$. Such observations for getting spectral indices have a few advantages:
1) flux densities are measured by a single instrument and calibrated with
a consistent approach using the same flux calibrator, 2) one
observation session can avoid the short-term scintillation effect when
the DM is large enough and also avoid the long-term flux changes due
to diffractive and reflective scintillation, 3) in such a small
frequency range the profile components would not disappear
quickly. The disadvantage is that the uncertainty associated with such a determined
spectral index is large due to the limited frequency range. The best
spectral measurements in future would be made for each profile
component within one ultra wide band. The weak correlations between
spectral indexes and $\dot{E}$ and $\Delta\Psi$ imply that the
radiation properties are physically related to particle acceleration
process.

The Office of Facilities Human Resources supports the Facilities Division and we are committed to providing top quality and best HR services and assistance to all Facilities employees. We act as a liaison to the University's Central Human Resources and provide those same services to our employees that the Division of HR would, but on a local level and focusing solely on Facilities employees and their needs. Our department manages class & compensation, recruiting and hiring, safety, benefits, training & development programs and employee relations.
Class & Compensation consists of reviewing staff positions, reclassifying existing positions, and oversight of the classification process. Class & Compensation also assists with compensation ranges and consults on comprehensive strategic job design when needed.
Recruiting & hiring works to post jobs, view applicants, assist in interview techniques and skills, as well as to ensure the hiring process meets stringent EEO guidelines. Our talent acquisition section prepares all offer letters, reviews the background checks process and walks new hires-from start to finish-through the onboarding process.
Safety involves risk assessments in and for the work place, both from a safety and health perspective. Preventive and corrective measures are recommended by our Safety department as well as policies and procedures for working safely. Work site evaluations and audits are conducted in great detail and are always done in accordance with Federal, state and local laws.
Benefits works in tandem with Central HR to afford all Facilities employees with options available to them through the benefits offered by the University. From Family Medical Leave, disability options and workers' compensation, our experts can explain these options before an employee makes a decision that will impact their life.
Training & Development is accountable for individual employee training and development as well as responsible for organizational effectiveness. The goal is to drive development and training programs to meet alignment with the University's strategic plan from New Employee Orientation, Leadership Development, Management Development to individual training plans based on needs assessments.
Employee Relations strives to influence partnerships with all Facilities staff members in order to endeavor positive work relationships within the Division. This is accomplished through training, facilitation, review of policies and procedures and one-on-one coachings. We strongly encourage fair employment practices while working towards increasing employee morale.
Facilities Human Resources also recognizes Facilities employees through our Employee of the Quarter programs, service awards and a quarterly employee newsletter.
We also provide opportunities for team building and employee wellness.


We Are Not Alone--Or Are We?
The annals of science fiction are filled with advanced extraterrestrial creatures like Klingons and Wookies, Vogons and Romulans, all carrying on in a human sort of way. And while screenwriters and novelists weave stories around these characters, some people scour the heavens for signs that such highly evolved beings really exist.
But a new book by UW Professors Peter Ward and Donald Brownlee contends that, contrary to popular thought, we just might be alone and Earth might be unique, if not in the universe at least in this celestial neighborhood.
In Rare Earth, Ward and Brownlee examine the remarkable confluence of conditions and events that deposited life-forming chemicals on Earth, allowed simple life to gain a foothold, and then protected the planet sufficiently and created just the right environmental factors for advanced life to slowly evolve.
"It seems like something a lot of people don't want to hear, yet nearly everyone who works in these areas has remarked at one time or another how unusual the Earth is, " says Brownlee, an expert on comets, the space bodies that might have delivered the first organic chemicals and life-sustaining water to Earth. In fact, he and Ward, whose extensive research on the fossil record has provided key insights into prehistoric mass extinctions, frequently discuss the Earth's unusual character with students in their astronomy and geological sciences classes.
The scientists don't argue that life is rare. Recent evidence showing that simple microbial life can survive extreme conditions on Earth is an indicator that such life also might be widespread in the galaxy and the universe. "But you need to have a vast amount of time to let evolution ramp up to animals, and we think there are only a small number of planets where that could happen, " explains Ward, who says the key is having near equilibrium in such things as temperature and water content over enormous time spans.
The authors may be as charmed as the planet. In February, after Rare Earth was featured as the centerpiece of the New York Times' Science section, sales rocketed. Within hours, the book shot to the top ten on Amazon.com. Six months after publication, it remains among the top 200 sellers of the million or so books that Amazon sells.

There have been two big news stories from Africa University in the last week. The first came last Wednesday, when Africa University announced the election of a new vice chancellor, Dr. Munashe Furusa. Since the Chancellor is a ceremonial title held by the United Methodist Bishop of Central Congo, David Yembe, the Vice Chancellor is the chief executive office for the school, responsible for its day-to-day functioning. Dr. Furusa will be the forth person to hold that position in the school's 22-year history when he begins his new role on July 1st. Moreover, this announcement came during a first-ever joint meeting between the Africa University Board of Directors and the Board of Directors for the United Methodist General Board of Higher Education & Ministry (GBHEM), a week-long time of sharing, learning, and discussion.
Both of these events are good news for Africa University, but both stories are also notable for what they reveal about transnational cooperation in the current UMC. Dr. Furusa is originally from Zimbabwe, the country in which Africa University is located. But he has also spent time in the United States, teaching and serving as dean at California State University, Dominguez Hills. In his time in the US, he has built a wide network of contacts, and he will now be entering a position that involves collaboration with people from across the continent of Africa. Dr. Furusa has been and will continue to be a medium for reciprocal influences to travel among Zimbabwe, the rest of Africa, and the United States.
The GBHEM and Africa University boards are also such conduits. The Africa University board includes members from across Africa and the USA. The GBHEM board, while predominantly American, also include members from Zimbabwe, Congo, Puerto Rico, Russia, Germany, and the Philippines. Moreover, their recent joint meeting has served as an additional means by which influence can travel both ways across the Atlantic. The role of the United States in establishing Africa University is undeniable. Yet some of the most exciting quotes to come from the joint meeting were from American GBHEM board members speaking about how much Americans can learn from Africa University, its programs, and its successes.
Africa University continues to have a bright future ahead of it. And the future of the UMC - in Africa, in the United States, and around the world - will be brighter because of the good work of Africa University.

Why was Gilgamesh important?
James Beamon
The Epic of Gilgamesh is notable because it is one of the first instances of epic poetry and provides insights into ancient Mesopotamian civilisation. It was one of the most popular writings in the ancient world, maybe because it served as a standard text for cuneiform writers. In addition, the story is full of exciting battles and adventures that appeal to our dreams of glory and conquest.
In modern terms, the poem could be considered a prototype for fantasy literature. It also contains themes such as ambition, conflict, victory, defeat, love, loyalty, friendship, grief, recovery, and hope.
Gilgamesh is a king who lives in what is now Iraq. He is a hero from ancient mythology who has become synonymous with arrogance and stupidity because he challenges the gods to a fight to the death. Although he loses, his opponent Enkidu becomes his friend and helper. Later on, when Gilgamesh encounters another god-fearing king, he decides to travel around the world in order to find out how others have succeeded in living without being like him. During his journey, he meets other people who help him understand that there are two things that will always keep him alive: love and friendship. Finally, he returns home to tell everyone about his experiences and to encourage them not to give up even when they are defeated. This poem has been passed down through generations because it was thought to be so important that only someone chosen by the gods could write it.
How has the Epic of Gilgamesh influenced other cultures?
Why was the Epic of Gilgamesh so important?
What is the Gilgamesh Brainly epic about?
What was the Epic of Gilgamesh and Hammurabi's code written on?
The Epic of Gilgamesh is one of the earliest Mesopotamian literary works to survive. It appears to have been employed to teach literacy in scribal schools. It also embodies notions about the nature of good rulership that may be found in ancient Mesopotamian legal laws. Finally, some have seen echoes of Gilgamesh's story and themes in later works by Egyptian authors like Amenophis III and Thutmose IV, as well as in Greek stories about Aesop's fox and crane.
In addition to being taught as a model for proper conduct, the Epic of Gilgamesh was evidently used by scribes to compose letters, documents, and even poems. This ability to write long narratives or poems shows that the Babylonians/Assyrians were already using fiction as a means of teaching values and ideas. They seem to have enjoyed reading stories, too!
Even today, the Epic of Gilgamesh is admired for its power and beauty as writing. It has been suggested that it may have helped inspire people to write down their memories and experiences after death. Although there are no direct references to this idea in the text, it can be inferred from what we do know about ancient Near Eastern culture.
Finally, some believe that Gilgamesh may have inspired early poets and writers in other cultures to create stories and poems about heroic figures who struggle with adversity but overcome it.
Gilgamesh's Epic and Sumerian Culture The Epic of Gilgamesh is often recognized as the finest work of literature relating to the exploits of a great ruler. The Epic of Gilgamesh taught us a number of things. It showed that great strength could be achieved through courage and ambition. It also showed that even though violence may achieve greatness, it can never bring happiness. Finally, it showed that even though death may be an end, life must be embraced with joy.
Sumer, which means "land of many rivers", was one of the first civilizations in history. It arose around 4900 B.C. in what is now Iraq. The earliest evidence of writing dates back to about 3500 B.C., but it is believed that people had been storing food for future use long before that time. About 3000 B.C., several large cities began to grow up along the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. These cities included Ur, Nippur, and Larsa. About 2500 B.C., these cities were destroyed by invaders from outside the area. Since then, no further progress has been made toward developing civilization.
About 1200 B.C., another new culture called the Akkadian came into being. They lived in southern Mesopotamia, near present-day Baghdad.
The Epic of Gilgamesh is a Sumerian-language story written on clay tablets with cuneiform writing about the exploits of Gilgamesh and his comrade Enkidu. It is said to be the world's earliest written tale. The poem itself dates from about 2000 BC, but it may have been created much earlier.
Gilgamesh is a legendary king who ruled over what is now Iraq. His name comes from an Akkadian word meaning "great hunter". Although the poem is often called "Gilgamesh's adventure", it is not entirely clear how much of the story is fact and how much is fiction. What is known for sure is that the work is based on real events that took place around 4500 BC.
It has been translated into many languages, including English, French, German, Greek, Latin, Russian and Spanish. The first complete translation into American English was published in 1948 by John Gardner Cole.
In 2004, it was announced that an international team of researchers had discovered evidence of ancient DNA in well-preserved skeletons buried at a site in Iraq. The team suggested that the bones might contain DNA from a previously unknown human species that they named "Gilgamesh's relative". This finding was later disputed by other scientists.
The Epic of Gilgamesh is a significant work of Middle Eastern literature that was written in cuneiform on 12 clay tablets around 2000 BC. This heroic poem is titled for its hero, Gilgamesh, a cruel Babylonian king who controlled Uruk, also known as Erech in the Bible (now Warka, Iraq). The story tells of his adventures and battles, most notably with the god Enlil for the love of a common woman. It is estimated to have taken about five days to recite entirely.
Hammurabi's Code was written in the same region where the Epic of Gilgamesh was written on stone. It too is important because it is one of the first laws that allowed for individual rights. In fact, it can be said that without this law, modern democracy as we know it today would not exist.
These two epic poems and laws are important because they show that ancient people had a sense of morality which led them to write stories about good and evil, justice and injustice. These peoples knew what moral behavior was and they wanted others to know too.

In order to develop and grow the tree, the Lord requires there to be good fruit growing before cutting away the bad. (5: 66.) The pruning and trimming away the bad will accelerate as good continues to grow. The good growth cannot be threatened by the bad, because the Lord will cut off, cut down, and discard the bad as the good develops.
It does not matter if the bad occupy positions of authority, or have been "called of God" into the lofty positions of the tree. They will be struck down when they attempt to overcome the good growth. (D&C 85: 7.) The intention of the Lord, and His prophetic promise is that His house will be set in order. (Id.) This, however, is still future.
The natural branches are to return to the natural tree (5: 67) to produce the natural fruit again. (5: 68.) That is the original doctrine, the covenant of adoption to God's family, the return of covenant Israel. Children suitable for Zion are the Lord's agenda. It hasn't changed. He will bring it to pass, and we cannot claim any credit when it comes, for it is the Lord alone who will "bring again Zion." (See, e.g., 3 Ne. 16: 18; Mosiah 12: 22, 15: 29; D&C 84: 99; Isa. 52: 8.) This is His work, after all. We get to participate in it, but the work is His.
We do not get to chooose who the Lord sends. He does. When He sends a servant we have the rare and infrequent opportunity to be invited back to the roots of the restoration again. There is no point in insisting that we are doing things right, and that we have no need to repent and return. We must respond, repent, regain whatever was offered, reconnect with the fathers, or risk being utterly wasted at His coming.
The labor to produce fruit is great. The amount of humility and meekness required to repent and return is almost beyond the tolerance of mankind. Even those who learn a little think they know much more than they do. We tend to gather together, speak reassuring words to one another, and stop up our repentance by the mutual praise we lavish on each other. We interfere with our own repentance.
I've often reflected on our presumption that we can apply the words of scripture that were originally given when Joseph Smith was the church's presiding officer to all later times and individuals. Joseph, of course, stood in the presence of God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. Therefore, the revelations to him – about him – have their veracity derived from that standing. Can we now apply statements to him, or about him to every situation we've encountered since then? Do we have the right to do that without some further revelation giving us that right? Is God's promise about His protection of the church from error, given while Joseph was living, still applicable when we have lost the man who communed with Jehovah? Are we to expect all successors to also act as if they too hold the keys to the mysteries and sealed truths (D&C 28: 7) even when some have told us they have never received any audience with angels or the Lord? Are we allowed to presume the Lord invariably "sends another" when we vote to fill Joseph's former office? (Id.) Our traditions gives us an answer that we heard again in last General Conference through President Eyring's Priesthood Session talk. (Families Under Covenant) That talk was reassuring indeed. I hope it is altogether correct. I hope it answers this question.
