Running Man Race Start in Singapore: Season 2 Tour
January 3rd, 2015 MyKpopHuntress
Running Man Race Start Season 2 Tour – The Press Conference
Tis the season to be jolly~ Yes, it's that time of the year again where the cast of popular Korean variety show, Running Man, makes their way down to Singapore as part of the Race Start Season 2 Tour. The press conference session was held on the 28th of November at a ballroom in Pan Pacific Hotel where we met the five attending cast members; Ji Suk Jin (Suk Jin, 46), Kim Jong Kook (Jong Kook, 37), Ha Ha (Haha, 35), Song Ji Hyo (Ji Hyo, 33) and Lee Kwang Soo (Kwangsoo, 29) who shared exclusive stories that had taken place during the course of filming the show.
Although it wasn't their first time here, the members were singing endless praises about Singapore. Suk Jin relieves the memory of having tried the famous Chilli Crab and Pepper Crab during his previous visit and hopes to be able to eat it again. Haha and Jongkook remark how beautiful and clean the city is while Kwangsoo praises the passionate fans and various staff members who attended to them when they arrived. Meanwhile, Jihyo, who had arrived a day earlier, had visited the SEA Aquarium and was looking forward to visiting the River Safari during her free time.
Upon hearing that Running Man has and continues to be the No.1 show watched by viewers across all the television channels in Singapore this year, Jongkook, in fluent English, expressed that they were proud to be part of the show and very happy to know that so many people are watching and enjoying it. He shares that all the members have a great sense of responsibility towards the show and do their best every time to satisfy the audience.
On which episode was the most memorable, the members could hardly pick one as each of the many episodes filmed before hold a special meaning to them. Nevertheless, Haha chose their debut episode to be the most memorable. It was a big step for everyone to embark on a variety show of this kind. Further, they had to film for a non-stop 30 hours so it felt like it was unending, making it a truly memorable episode for everyone. Jihyo, on the other hand, felt that every episode was just as memorable as the next and especially so for the episodes which were filmed with just the seven Running Man members. More than anything else, she says that the time and effort spent with the members during the filming along with the laughter and tears shed during the show made it really memorable. It felt like the members truly bonded as a team.
Sukjin, Haha and Kwangsoo were asked if the rollercoaster ride they took in Taiwan was the most terrifying thing they had ever done and if it wasn't what was the most terrifying. Sukjin admitted that the bungee jump in Macau was more terrifying and he couldn't bring himself to do it but agreed that the rollercoaster ride was still terrifying as he doubted himself many time while taking it. He also reveals that he watched the particular episode on television and was shocked to see his expression while he rode it. While Kwangsoo also agreed that the rollercoaster ride was very terrifying, he confessed that the most terrifying thing on Running Man is Jongkook. Haha immediately agrees, revealing that there is much tension and everyone is a bundle of nerves when they are left alone with him. He also jokingly adds that should Jongkook ride the rollercoaster, even the rollercoaster would be terrified of him!
It seems like the fans can expect a lot from the upcoming fanmeeting. Jihyo shares that the members have prepared extensively for the fans. With Singapore being the last stop for Race Start Season 2 tour, the members are set to put in their utmost effort to give all the fans attending an enjoyable time such that they will be able to make unforgettable memories during the fanmeeting. Sukjin, Haha and Kwangsoo also randomly did the "betrayers" trademark action in the midst of Jihyo's explanation, giving us a hint of the fun and laughter to expect of the members' interactions during the fanmeeting. The final stop of the Running Man Race Start Season 2 takes place in Singapore on the 29th of November at The Star Theatre.
Running Man Race Start Season 2 Tour – The Fan Meeting
It was a bustling evening on the 29th of November at The Star Theatre, the venue for the Singapore leg; and also the final stop of the Running Man Race Start Season 2 tour. Fans of all ages, and donning their Running Man themed apparels ranging from caps to varsity jackets and t-shirts with nametags while carrying light sticks and blinking LED boards came in throngs to fill up the venue. The theatre was buzzing with excitement as everyone waited in anticipation for the show to start.
The Singapore leg of the tour opened with all five members appearing on stage and singing to the theme song of Korean drama, 'You Who Came from the Stars', which was also broadcasted on SBS, the same broadcasting channel as Running Man is on and which had also received much love from fan all over the world. The fans in the theatre were more than thrilled to see and hear their favourite Korean stars performing right in front of them and this was only just the tip of the iceberg.
Following the opening performance was a round of introductions where the members also shared their thoughts about coming to Singapore for the tour. The members then headed offstage to change into comfortable outfits for the first half of the fanmeeting, while a VCR showing a collage of clips from various Running Man episodes was played on the big screen, to the delight of the fans.
The first half of the fanmeeting showcased various games and activities, some of which have been adapted from the program itself. These were played in teams comprising a Running Man member and a fan from the audience. The twist though, was that the fans had already been pre-selected personally by the members and the reveal of the selected fans was done via a neat VCR that had been filmed by the members earlier that day at the event's venue itself!
At the members' cue for the audience to scream out 'Race Start', the games began. The games included a five-station relay race where fans had the chance to pop balloons with Kwangsoo and do 50 sit-ups in relay with Jihyo, several rounds of charades with themes ranging from animals to sports and even a piggyback race to see which fan could eat a snack hanging off a tall beam the quickest. As expected, Jihyo not only singlehandedly piggybacked a fan during the race but won against the four other men she was up against to win first place, proving to everyone her position as the ace of the team. Although only a selected few got to play the games on stage, the members' fun interactions as well as distraction tactics during the different game segments had the entire audience cheering and laughing as they watched a miniature Running Man episode happening right before their eyes.
To make it more exciting, several punishments were also included amidst the various games prepared. Naturally, Sukjin was one of the selected ones for the punishment; a 'couple peppero eating challenge' with a fan from the audience. An already embarrassing punishment was made more awkward when it was revealed that the fan was a young boy! This had the other members exclaiming that it was more a nightmare for the poor boy rather than a punishment for Sukjin! It was cringe-worthy yet amusing to watch them attempt to complete the punishment and it for sure gave huge laughs to the crowd in attendance that night.
The first half of the fanmeeting ended with a photo-taking session for the winners of the games before the members headed backstage to prepare for the exciting second half; the concert!
Sukjin was the first to appear back on stage, dressed in a chic outfit that made him look even younger than he actually was, and sang his heart out for the classic ballad, 'Just the Way You Are'. Only the sea of lights from the lit up light sticks was seen swaying to the sweet melody of the song as the entire theatre watched in awe his handsome performance. The end of his performance was marked by the dimming of stage lights but was immediately followed by a soft tinkling of piano keys which opened the stage for the next act. Kwangsoo showed off his piano and singing skills when he performed 'Bogoshipta', the OST for the famous Korean drama, 'Stairway to Heaven'. Despite it being a rather melancholy tune with sad lyrics, Kwangsoo still managed to get the crowd giggling at his funny antics during his performance.
She might the ace when it comes to winning the games but Jihyo definitely doesn't rank well at singing. Nevertheless, she still appeared on stage to perform a medley of Leesang's hit songs. Leesang's member and also Jihyo's other half in the famous Monday Couple, Kang Gary, unfortunately, was not present at the tour this year but this didn't make the performance any less exciting than it had been when it was performed by the couple last year. While Jihyo sang and rapped solo to the first few verses, she was soon joined in by a couple of dancing and rapping 'Gary's who actually turned out to be Haha and Jongkook wearing a couple of 'Gary' masks!
A veteran singer, Jongkook, on the other hand, had the whole theatre enthralled by his performance of hit songs, such as 'One Man' and 'Men are All Like That'. Although he apologized for not doing a good job due to the bad condition of his throat, it seemed like didn't really matter to his diehard fans as they still cheered him on and sang along while waving their light sticks to the beat.
Lifting the mood up further was Sukjin and Kwangsoo's hilarious parody of the sexy Troublemaker. With Sukjin as the male and lanky Kwangsoo in a mini-dress as the female counterpart dancing to the music, it was safe to say that it was by far trashier than it was sexy! Nonetheless, the fans were highly entertained throughout the performance and pretty much satisfied to see this crazy side of the members.
Haha had the entire audience on their feet as he brought the house down with his energetic performance of his songs, including the famous 'Rosa' and 'Busan Vacance'. Fans on the first floor were clamoring to be at the very front of the stage so as to get the best view of the performance. As if it couldn't get any better, the other 4 members came back on stage to join Haha in his passionate performance. As the members sang and danced on stage, the fans were doing the same on the floor! The members also showed extensive fanservice by spraying water at the fans, taking selfies with the audience and even pulled up a young fanboy to join in the dance party on stage!
Despite being slated as a 2-hour show, the event stretched on for longer as the members kept appearing for an encore and double encore following the crowd's cheers. It seemed like neither the cast members nor the audience wanted to say goodbye. However, all good things come to an end at some point and so did the fanmeeting. After the final double encore, the members came back onto stage to give their final words of thanks to the fans for coming, for enjoying themselves and for helping make the fanmeeting a success.
As a surprise, the local organizer as well as fans also prepared a special 2-tier 3D cake with the Running Man members' figurines and Singapore's local attractions a token of thanks to the members for making a stop at Singapore for the tour again this year. Although it was a small gesture by the Singapore side, I believe it was something that had really touched the hearts of the members. Despite trying hard not to, Jihyo was teary-eyed as she gave her sincerest thanks to everyone who had made the event possible. The five members also gave their deepest bow to the attending audience before saying their final goodbyes and leaving the stage, marking the end of the Race Start Season 2 tour.
It's been over 4 years since Running Man's debut but this fanmeeting has just proven that the members aren't ready to take off their nametags any time soon. Riding on their fans' passion and love for the show, they'll be working even harder to create even more enjoyable moments and memories for the fans and viewers of the show.
MyKpopHuntress would like to thank ONE for the opportunity to cover this event. Photos from the fanmeeting are credited to ONE.

Bringing behavioral economics to development
Future Development
James Walsh and Karla Hoff Tuesday, May 19, 2015
In recent years, it has been exciting to see policymakers in rich countries begin to take seriously what has long been known in the private sector: Paying attention to seemingly trivial details of policy design can powerfully affect how individuals respond.
Take the example of organ donation in Europe (Figure 1). What explains the vast differences in rates of consent? None of these countries provide incentives—no rewards for consent, nor any tax or fine for refusal. Differences in culture and information do not explain the gap either. For example, Germany and Austria have remarkably similar cultures, yet their consent rates differ by 88 percentage points. And the Netherlands ran an extensive educational campaign and mass mailing asking citizens to register as organ donors, but the campaign failed to change the effective consent rate.
Figure 1. Effective consent rates of becoming an organ donor in select European countries, 2003
Source: Johnson and Goldstein, 2003.
What then can explain the large differences in the consent rates? The answer turns out to be the default option—whether a person has to choose to be an organ donor ("opt-in") or choose not to be one ("opt-out"). A person has to opt-in to be an organ donor in the gold countries in the figure, whereas in the blue countries there is presumed consent from which a person can opt-out.
Traditional policymaking would not predict the default option to have a large effect. Standard "rational actor" models assume people behave based on pre-formed preferences. They know what they want and if it is not the default option, they will opt out of the option.
A new wave of public policymaking informed by behavioral economics and psychology submits the assumptions of the rational actor to empirical scrutiny. Public debates are now assessing the introduction of behavioral interventions (interventions based on a non-rational or non-selfish actor) in many domains, including organ donation, taxes, retirement savings, and employment schemes.

Applying behavioral insights in developing countries
In the spirit of such innovative programming, the World Development Report 2015: Mind, Society, and Behavior examined hundreds of studies, and organized the many strikingly successful interventions they found around three ways that people think:
We think automatically, as well as deliberatively. We don't always have the mental bandwidth to make careful decisions. Thus we might not make the best use of government programs. The global availability of antiretroviral therapy has improved the health of people living with HIV/AIDS in poor countries, but its impact is severely limited by poor regimen adherence. In Kenya, when patients received a weekly text reminding them to take their drugs, adherence rose by 13 percentage points (from 40-53 percent).
We think socially. Thinking is conditioned by social context and the salience of social identities. We may look at other people's behavior—for example, whether or not they use a government service—in deciding our own. When eligible female community leaders were made beneficiaries of grants to promote businesses in Nicaragua, program participants became more active and their incomes went up by 40 percent. The community leaders' involvement in the program increased communication and motivation.
We think with mental models. We rely on a cultural toolkit of categories, concepts, worldviews, and other mental models to filter, process, and interpret information and guide action. If policy goals are inconsistent with widely shared mental models, interventions may not be effective or may even make things worse. When a civic education intervention was run in communities in Mali, female political participation declined. The program increased the salience of civic activity, which in turn increased men's resistance to women's civic participation. Threats of sanctions against their participation discouraged women from engaging in civic life.

To see how powerful insights into human psychology can be for policy, consider an intervention in Kenya aimed at preventing traffic accidents. As shown in the graph from The Economist, traffic accidents in poor and middle-income countries have become a major public health problem. They kill more people than tuberculosis and malaria and are forecast to kill as many as HIV/AIDS by 2030.
Figure 2. Global deaths by selected cause (millions)
Source: The Economist, based on WHO data.
What can be done? Traditional interventions—harsher penalties for reckless driving, stronger enforcement mechanisms—can be costly and often have little independent effect. In Kenya, practitioners and researchers collaborated to place stickers in accident-prone buses. The stickers urged passengers to speak up against reckless driving.
Figure 3. Bumper sticker in Kenya
Source: Habyarimana and Jack, 2011.
Accident rates in buses that had stickers plummeted. Why? People knew that buses were dangerous before the intervention. In a passenger survey before the intervention, one-third of respondents reported having felt that their lives were in danger on a recent trip. But the bus stickers changed something in the environment. The seemingly trivial change of posting a sticker transformed the behavior of the drivers. It saved lives at a cost per year of a life saved—$5.80—that was even lower than the cost of saving lives through vaccines.
Examples like this demonstrate that behavioral economics has the potential to revolutionize development policy. Many interventions documented in the WDR can be scaled up. The new field of behavioral development economics should be expanded with care, however. To list just three considerations:
Behaviorally informed interventions must be introduced with care for the dignity and autonomy of the individuals and communities affected. Just as, for example, the United Kingdom is publicly debating whether and how to change their laws on consent for organ donation, the use of behavioral interventions in poor countries must be transparent and subject to local public deliberation. This means that some behavioral interventions might not be desirable even if they would promote globally recognized development outcomes.
Development practitioners are far from having a clear picture as to when evidence from one context is generalizable to others. There is increasing evidence that institutions have deep effects on how people think. Thus individuals in societies with different institutions may process information in systematically different ways. In China, people who grew up in areas that historically farmed rice (a relatively collective activity) think more interdependently than those who grew up in wheat-growing regions (a relatively individualistic activity). When making associations, people in rice cultures are drawn to relationships rather than categories. And they are more likely to display loyalty (or nepotism) and less likely to divorce. The WDR and the work that elaborates on it offer proofs of concept—demonstrations that taking a richer notion of how people think can improve development interventions in ways that standard models would not predict. But we are still far from a general and parsimonious theory of human behavior. Ethically designed experiments can help identify the social and psychological factors of importance in a particular context. A recent experiment in Kenya showed that when people were given a lockable metal box, padlock, and passbook, they increased their investment in health products by 66-75 percent. This could only have been hypothesized beforehand and cannot be generalized to other settings. It has to be tested, and in many cases, randomized control trials can be both cheap and quick.
Behavioral interventions, like all other interventions, can have unanticipated effects—for example, by eroding valued institutions. An intervention that helps poor households to save more by adopting formal commitment devices (such as having a fixed amount of your income taken out during harvest season) may do so by enabling them to avoid commitments under informal insurance schemes, making society as a whole worse off. Many interventions need to be piloted at small levels first, before considered for broad testing and application.
With these and other considerations in mind, there is a large potential for behavioral interventions to enhance the effectiveness of development institutions. The WDR provides a new framework for the subfield of behavioral development economics. It will be exciting to see what progress is made in this field in coming years.
This blog was first launched in September 2013 by the World Bank in an effort to hold governments more accountable to poor people and offer solutions to the most prominent development challenges. Continuing this goal, Future Development was re-launched in January 2015 at brookings.edu.

Curriculum: Social Studies/land use and movement of peoples
(1) teach the immigration of immigrants from the island of Madeira, Portugal using the information on this website https://mythicmississippi.illinois.edu/portuguese-il/
(2) study 1867 Map of Springfield https://www.loc.gov/resource/g4104s.pm001880/?r=0.828,0.267,0.097,0.044,0 Note the orientation on this Library of Congress map. Do not get confused: Carpenter Street runs E-W. It is on the upper far right of the map as it is manipulated with a mouse and as one scrolls further to the right one sees Enos Street as the edge of town. Carpenter Street is two blocks from Enos Street.
A multi-car railroad steams along the tracks beyond the edge of the urbanized town into fields. Carpenter Street runs perpendicular to the railroad tracks. Note the button placed on the map image by the Library of Congress to facilitate manipulation of the map.
(3) explain what a story map is
(4) introduce the concept of "urban landscape"
(5) manipulate slides 1-13 on the Story Map of the Madeiran immigrants https://arcg.is/1SuPzi to tell the story of the exiles before they purchased land in Springfield
(6) look at Google Earth or Google Maps cued to Springfield today
(7) Discuss with students the reasons for the dramatic change in housing prices in the century and a half since arrival of the Madeirans (increased urbanization, expansion of service availability such as grocery stores, theaters, restaurants, schools; Springfield as the state capital; increased land use; migration after the Civil War)
(8) present the 19th century history of Jacksonville, where the Madeiran immigrants also settled
Lesson Objectives:
(1) Compare the landscape of Springfield at the arrival of the Madeiran immigrants with today's modern landscape
(2) Investigate and analyze reasons for the changes and why Springfield expanded
(3) Learn about the settlement of Madeiran immigrants in Springfield
(4) Evaluate changes in land values over time
(5) Learn about the social conditions of Springfield at the time of the arrival of the Madeiran immigrants
(6) Learn about the cost of land in the 1850s (each small lot on Carpenter Street cost $25 = $1,700 today) compared to the cost of land in Springfield now (cost = $19,750 based on a similar plot of land on Walnut Street)
(7) Learn the reasons for this change in cost and availability
(8) Learn about Jacksonville at the time of the Madeiran arrival
What students will do:
* Use Google Earth and Google Street Views
* Use and study the Story Map of the Madeiran immigrants
* Find Carpenter Street on the 1867 Map of Springfield (Library of Congress) to see where many of the exiles chose to buy land
* Discuss what features they see in the area
* Locate Carpenter Street with reference to the Old State Capitol and Abraham Lincoln's home at 413 S. 8th Street
* Discuss the reasons why the cost of land might have changed so dramatically in the last 160 years.
IN CLASS ACTIVITY
Project the 1867 map of Springfield on the screen and overlay it on top of Google's current map of Springfield. Discuss these questions in class:
* Are the streets the same in name, width, orientation?
* Looking at both maps, what is the most significant shift of land-use (i.e. residential to commercial, agricultural to suburban)?
* What major historical events might have impacted these changes?
HOMEWORK EXERCISE
Without requiring computer graphic skills, give the students a blanked out map of their home town (so that landmarks are not labeled, only streets) and ask students to create their own story map on paper. The goal is for students to tell a coherent story in spatial terms about something in town. This can be an aspect of local or family or personal history. Students will place a minimum of six numbers on the clean map and write a few sentences about each point. They should add an image for each numbered point (if they can't print out a thumbnail from a cell phone photo, this image be drawn just as a place holder, with an addendum describing what the image actually would be).

Rocks announce Parsons departure
Oct 17, 2017 | More News
Bognor Regis Town have announced the departure of midfielder Alex Parsons.
Parsons has a new job which make it impossible for him to attend mid week training. He has decided to commit to Worthing although he will remain dual registered in case he can assist in an emergency.
Since joining the club just over three years ago, he has been a firm favourite with the Rocks fans and also extremely popular in the dressing room. He played in some 130 matches and scored a number of memorable goals – his brace in a dramatic five minutes against Oxford City two years ago in the FA Cup will be fondly recalled by many.

SERVPRO Shares How to Minimize The Risks of a Flood in High-rise Buildings
Friday, August 27th 2021, 9:00 PM
How to Mitigate The Flood Risk in a High Rise?
Austin, United States - August 27, 2021 / SERVPRO of Lake Travis / NW Austin /
Flood prevention tips for high rises
Flooding not only impacts single-story homes but also high-rises - not just at the ground level but also on higher floors. SERVPRO, a commercial water damage restoration service, discusses how high rises can mitigate the flood risks.
1. Understand the flood risk
Location: A high-rise near a water body or in a flood zone is naturally at an elevated risk but there are other factors to consider. For instance, high-rises built in valleys or low-lying areas may be vulnerable to flooding, even though they are far from water.
Construction: Buildings with basements or multiple underground levels may be at an increased flooding risk. High-rises with basements should be checked for sump pumps and generators. This inspection can reveal the absence or inadequacy of this equipment and, thereby, highlight the risks to the building in a flood scenario.
Property management: A professional property management company can help identify the weak spots and vulnerabilities of a building. With decades of experience and knowledge of the area, these teams can create a foundation for a flood preparedness plan.
2. Protect critical systems
The mechanical and electrical systems should be insulated and protected to ensure they are functional in case of flooding.
The building's water pump should also be taken care of in case of water shortage. In most cities, the municipal system doesn't push water beyond the sixth floor in case of floods. That means no water will be available while the occupants are stranded during floods. A water pump would be a blessing.
The fire pump, which operates the sprinkler system, must be shielded from potential flood damage.
Ensure emergency staircase and corridor lighting will function even during a power outage.
In taller buildings, at least one elevator must work during an emergency.
Essential backup systems must be maintained and should be functional during emergencies.
Plan the storage of materials in the basement carefully. Any materials such as fuel or heating oils must be removed lest they become environmental hazards for the residents during the flooding.
3. Communicate the emergency plan
Document a detailed emergency plan encompassing a wide variety of disasters, including fire, medical emergencies, and floods. This plan must include:
Evacuation maps and directions
Insurance claim tips
Items for personal disaster preparedness kits
Provisions to protect vulnerable residents, such as the elderly, people with disabilities, and children.
These plans are futile without appropriate communication. There are several methods to ensure clear communication such as FirstService Residential's proprietary system, Resident Alert, sending critical updates via email, text message, or phone during times of crisis.
4. Review the insurance
It is best practice to review the insurance policy with an insurance agent specializing in high-rise properties annually. This yearly review ensures that the property has the best coverage available at the best price. By implementing policies that mitigate the property's flood risk, the insurance premiums can also be reduced.
In case of flooding and water damage, high rises must contact commercial water damage restoration companies such as SERVPRO to help restore the property to its original glory, and help residents get back to their lives as soon as possible.
SERVPRO uses state-of-the-art equipment to bring the damaged property back to its original state. SERVPRO of Lake Travis / NW Austin is always updating its fleet and equipment so clients in Lago Vista and surrounding areas can quickly access the services.
The SERVPRO staff is highly trained in property damage restoration. They receive initial in-house training and constant skill up-gradation at the corporate training facility and also acquire IICRC-industry certification.
For commercial water damage restoration, call SERVPRO of Lake Travis / NW Austin today at (512) 318-2200.

Q: Does ADFS server supports scim protocol Does current Microsoft ADFS 2.0 server (or new ADFS 3.0 RTM ) support SCIM provisioning protocol ? If not which one provisioning protocol is planned SPML maybe ?

A: Currently none are supported.
That's because ADFS is a STS not an identity Manager.
These protocols are around provisioning not authentication.
Hence outside the ambit of ADFS.

Marco Andretti, who competes regularly in the IndyCar Series since 2006, is an American racing driver and the third generation of one of the most famous racing families in the world. His grandfather is legendary Mario Andretti, while Michael Andretti is Marco's father.
Andretti family
Collecting wins on a way to premier division
With this kind of pedigree, it was clear that Marco will follow the footsteps of his ancestors. He was born on March 13, 1987, in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, and at the age of 16, he began to race in Barber Formula Dodge Eastern Championship. In 2004, Andretti won the titles in Barber National and Southern class.
In 2005, Marco raced in the Star Mazda Championship, one of the IndyCar feeder series, but also enrolled a couple of notable results in the Indy Lights Series. Driving for Andretti Green Racing, the team of his father, Marco appeared in six races and scored three wins – at St. Petersburg, Indianapolis, and Sonoma. He was also 2nd at Watkins Glen and 3rd at Kentucky Speedway before finishing 10th overall.
Marco Andretti in the IRL Infiniti Pro Series in 2005
Impressive debut in the IndyCar Series
It was clear that Marco has a potential but it was probably a bit surprising when Andretti Green Racing, the team that later became Andretti Autosport and with which he will spend the rest of his career, announced that he will drive a full season in the 2006 IndyCar Series.
Marco Andretti immediately proved that he deserved a chance in the American top open-wheels championship. He finished second at Indianapolis 500, just 0.0635 seconds behind Sam Hornish Jr, and became the third member of Andretti dynasty who managed to score Top 5 finish in one of the most prominent races in the world.
Marco later in the season won the race at Sonoma becoming, at the age of 19 years and 167 days, the youngest race winner in the history of the series and eventually finished 7th in the standings. Finally, Andretti deserved Rookie of the Year Award.

Four seasons without wins in the IndyCar Series
After an exciting rookie season, Andretti failed to repeat these amazing results in the next couple of years. Andretti had to wait four years to score his second win in the series. However, during those four seasons, Marco had many good results.
In 2007, his best results were the 2nd places at Iowa and Michigan. In the Drivers' championship, Andretti dropped to the 11th position but improved in 2008 after finishing 7th overall. Marco was 2nd in the season-opening night race at Homestead-Miami Speedway, later finished 3rd in the races at Indy 500, Iowa, and Kentucky. That year at Milwaukee Andretti also won his maiden pole position, becoming the youngest IndyCar driver who won the pole position at the time.
The season of 2009 was a small step backwards. Marco failed to score a single finish in Top 3. The best result was the 4th place at Texas Motor Speedway and Andretti finished 8th in the standings. The same position Marco won in 2010. That year he finished 3rd at Indianapolis 500, as well as at Texas and Chicagoland, but in most of the races, his form oscillated.
Marco Andretti early in a career
The second win finally came at Iowa
After four years Marco Andretti finally won the race. It was at Iowa Speedway where he ended 79 races long streak without a victory. However, the rest of 2011 campaign wasn't so good. The only notable result that year was the 3rd place at Twin Ring Motegi in Japan. For the third year in a row, Andretti finished 8th in the championship.
Marco struggled during the season of 2012. The second place at Iowa Speedway, pole position at Fontana and only two finishes in Top 10 were the only bright moments of the campaign that Andretti ended at the 16th position which was his worst season so far.
Although he did not score a victory in 2013, that season was one of the best in Marco's career so far as he finished 5th in the standings. The 3rd places at St. Petersburg and Sao Paulo were Andretti's best results that year but he had several strong finishes that propelled him to 5th position in the final classification which is Andretti's best achievement in the IndyCar Series so far.
Marco Andretti at Indianapolis
Years of struggling
In both 2014 and 2015, Andretti finished 9th overall after having too many oscillations. In 2015, Marco finished 2nd at Barber Motorsports Park and 3rd at Indy 500, while in the next campaign his best results were the 2nd position at Belle Isle Circuit and the 3rd place at Fontana. In both seasons Andretti scored numerous top 10 finishes but the situation worsened in 2016.
That year was definitely the worst one for Andretti. For the second time in his career he was 16th in the standings but that year he scored only three Top 10 finishes, which was far below the expectations and Marco's abilities. In 2017, the struggle continued and Andretti ended 12th in the points. In 2018, he was slightly better, finishing ninth in the points but still missing victories or podiums.

Marco Andretti tested himself in other racing categories
Apart from competing in the IndyCar Series, Andretti appeared in many other championships. He drove with a considerable success for the US Team set up by Green Andretti Racing in 2008-2009 A1 GP. In 2008, he also appeared in three rounds of the American Le Mans Series.
In 2010, Marco debuted in 24 Hours of Le Mans with Rebellion Racing, driving alongside Nicolas Prost and Neel Jani, but failed to finish the race. Two years later Andretti experienced the V8 Supercars Championship driving for Kelly Racing in one round. Finally, in 2014-2015, he drove for Andretti Autosport in the FIA Formula E Championship Buenos Aires ePrix.

Deutsche Welle: A US-backed draft Security Council resolution was presented to the UN. It proposes more stringent UN actions against peacekeepers who abuse or fail to protect civilians. The proposed decision had varied reactions from other countries. The response from Russia, China, and other troop-contributing countries was restrained, whereas Bangladesh, a blue-helmet contributor, warned of the possible fall-out from financial cutbacks.
The United States would present a draft Security Council resolution aimed at "improving peacekeeper performance" and holding peacekeeping failures and abuses to account, Haley said.
According to the draft text, peacekeepers could be sent home, replaced or not paid if they are involved in misconduct. Among other measures, the draft resolution mandates reporting of "performance failures," fosters "accountability measures for failures of performance and concrete incentives for stronger performance," and advocates "the role of data in improving troop performance," she said.
The UN deploys 96,000 peacekeepers who serve in 14 missions worldwide. The US has sought to cut the annual peacekeeping budget of $6.9 billion (€5.9 billion), of which it funds 25 percent.

Nephrology Bracketology: Join the Madness!
Health & Medical Kidney & Urinary System
By Health & Medical Last updated Friday, April/05/2019
Nephrology Bracketology: Join the Madness!
Welcome to NephMadness 2015, an online game that invites healthcare professionals to predict the "winners" of competing medical concepts. Like in March Madness, where fans try to pick the winner of the NCAA Basketball Tournament, NephMadness provides brackets for participants to fill out and then compete with a worldwide community of peers. Last year we had players from six continents!
Fill out your brackets here by Sunday, March 22
The medical match-ups in NephMadness are not simplistic, but neither are they unsolvable. You will not find furosemide, CKD, or hyponatremia populating our brackets; we reach deeper than that and expect many of the concepts to be novel even to academic nephrologists. Still, even the lowliest medical student has a chance, with the detailed "scouting reports" we provide. Reading the scouting reports is essential to doing well.
And while the main theme of NephMadness is kidney disease, the 2015 contest explores the intersection of nephrology with other medical specialties. That means cardiologists, oncologists, nutritionists, and the whole array of healthcare professionals have a stake in the game.
Yes, it's a spoof, but it's one that we take dead seriously.
The medical concepts—or "teams"—are divided into eight regions. We enlisted scientific experts to help us identify the most interesting controversies in each region. The selection committee members and the regions are:
Obstetric Nephrology: Phyllis August, MD, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York, New York
Infectious Disease and Nephrology: Samir Gupta, MD, Indiana University, Indianapolis, Indiana
The Heart and Kidney Connection: Andrew House, MD, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada
Nephrology and Nutrition: Allon Friedman, MD, Indiana University, Indianapolis, Indiana
Genetic Nephrology: Conall O'Seaghdha, MD, Beaumont Hospital Kidney Centre, Dublin, Ireland
Critical Care Nephrology: Lakhmir Chawla, MD, George Washington University, Washington, DC
Nephrology and Vascular Surgery: Timmy Lee, MD, University of Alabama, Birmingham
Onconephrology: Mitchell Rosner, MD, University of Virginia, Charlottesville
Each of the eight regions includes eight medical concepts, which will face off in four first-round match-ups, for a total of 32 matches.
Who Decides the "Winners"?
We have recruited a blue-ribbon panel of experts to vet the contest and determine the winners (concepts, not participants) of each bracket. Panel members are:
Dan Weiner, Deputy Editor, American Journal of Kidney Diseases
Scott Gilbert, Education Editor, American Journal of Kidney Diseases
Melanie Hoenig, Assistant Professor, Harvard Medical School
Nancy Adams, Chair, American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Training Program Directors Executive Committee
Roger Rodby, Fellowship Program Director, Rush University Medical Center; ASN Board Review Instructor
Richard Lehman, World's smartest primary care doctor; author of the Journal Watch blog for the British Medical Journal
Jeffrey Berns, Professor of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania; Editor-in-Chief, Medscape Nephrology; oh yes, and President of the National Kidney Foundation

Justin Rose and Jon Rahm will begin Europe's quest to regain the Ryder Cup on Friday morning when they take on Brooks Koepka and Tony Finau.
World Number Two Rose will be in the very first match for the third Ryder Cup in a row, while Rahm will make his debut against fellow rookie Finau and reigning US Open and US PGA Champion Koepka at 08.10 am.
Rory McIlroy and debutant Thorbjørn Olesen will take on World Number One Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler, with the English pair of Paul Casey and Tyrrell Hatton facing Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas.
Open Champion Francesco Molinari and Race to Dubai champion Tommy Fleetwood will then complete the morning matches against Masters Tournament champion Patrick Reed and 14-time Major winner Tiger Woods.
European Captain Thomas Bjørn has decided to blood four of his five rookies in the very first session, with Alex Noren and Captain's Picks Sergio Garcia, Ian Poulter and Henrik Stenson rested.
Englishman Rose won the opening match alongside Stenson in 2014 but the pair were defeated by Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed at Hazeltine two years ago.
Northern Ireland's McIlroy maintains his record of having played every session since making his Ryder Cup debut in 2010, taking 11 points from 19 matches.
World Number Eight Rahm may be making his debut but the Spaniard is a three-time European Tour winner in the last two seasons, while Dane Olesen has five victories including in a Rolex Series event at this season's Italian Open.
Casey made his third Ryder Cup appearance in 2008 but has not played in the biennial spectacular since and will provide experience to rookie Hatton, who is a three-time European Tour winner.
Italian Molinari has also won the BMW PGA Championship this season to go with his Claret Jug and he plays with a course specialist in Fleetwood, with the Englishman having won the HNA Open de France at Le Golf National in 2017.
"I ran into a bit of a positive problem to be honest", said Bjørn. "Everybody was playing so well and itching to get out there and I just felt like these pairings were really sitting well with me from the beginning of the week.
"I feel like this is a good group to get out there, those three rookies in Thorbjørn, Tyrrell and Jon were all itching to go and they want to get out there and having the hanging about tomorrow to get out there I thought was not the best idea. We get them out there on the golf course and they're out there with some strong people.
"I believe in this Team, I believe in them one through 12, I believe that they have shown the strength throughout the season and they have been so good this week, they are so ready to go.
"They just want to get on the golf course and it really has been a team effort this week, everything in that team room, on the golf course has been relaxed, everybody has been in a good mood, everybody is just wanting to get out and start these matches.
For the Americans, Captain Jim Furyk has decided to split up the established pairing of Spieth and Reed, who have played seven out of a possible eight matches together since making their debuts in 2014, winning five points.
Spieth is paired with good friend Thomas, who this week becomes just the third player in history to make his Ryder Cup debut after getting to World Number One.
Captain's Pick Woods is making his first Ryder Cup appearance since 2012 after completing his remarkable comeback from injury, rising from 1,199 in the Official World Golf Ranking to a winner on the US PGA Tour in just ten months.
"Jim has a great Team, he runs into some of the same problems I have," added Bjørn. "He has so many options and he can put so many people on the golf course and that makes your pairings difficult.
"You've got historic pairings sometimes and as a Captain that doesn't always necessarily sit with you.

Returning IS fighters
Expatriation hardly an option
How should Germany deal with IS returnees from Syria? Can Berlin deny them the right to return? And would expatriation even be possible? By Nermin Ismail
German citizens who once joined the terrorist group "Islamic State" are currently being held in prisoner-of-war camps. Approximately 3000 former IS fighters and their families are imprisoned in Syria and Iraq; some 120 of them are German citizens.
Ex-IS members cannot currently be tried in northern Syria. U.S. President Donald Trump has called on Germany to retrieve German IS fighters detained in northern Syria. Other European countries need to follow suit. If they refuse, Trump has threatened to release the prisoners.
France to bring them back
Each European state is reacting differently: the British government wants to refuse to allow an IS follower to return to Great Britain by simply withdrawing her citizenship. Denmark has ruled out a repatriation of the fighters. They are "the most dangerous people in the world", said the foreign policy spokesman for the Danish liberals.
Austria's Chancellor has expressed himself more cautiously: according to Sebastian Kurz "the protection of the Austrian population" has priority. Belgium called for a "European solution". Only France announced in January that it would take back 130 fighters with French passports.
"Consistent" monitoring of IS returnees: Germany Federal Justice Minister Katarina Barley wants to prevent IS fighters from being able to move freely in Germany after their return. "Arrest warrants have already been issued for several individuals," says Barley. According to the Ministry of the Interior, some 1,050 people have left Germany for war zones in Syria and Iraq to join jihadist militias since 2013. Approximately one third of them have already returned to Germany and a further 200 people are thought to have lost their lives
How will Germany deal with this question? Does the Federal Republic have to let the Germans return home from northern Syria or can it refuse?
There can be no uncontrolled return of former IS fighters to Germany, Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen has warned. As a result, the CSU is now demanding that former IS fighters with dual citizenship be deprived of German citizenship. However, this is impossible for those who only have German citizenship. The Basic Law expressly excludes the revocation of citizenship if the person concerned has no other citizenship and would therefore be rendered stateless.
Withdrawal of citizenship unconstitutional
The current legal situation offers three options for expatriation: revocation, loss and withdrawal of citizenship. In Germany, however, Article 16 of the Basic Law prohibits the revocation of citizenship. In order to prevent political abuse, no citizen may be expatriated by revocation. This passage was also included in reaction to the mass expatriation of Jews by the National Socialists during the Third Reich.
The second option is the loss of citizenship. This happens when a person assumes a foreign nationality or voluntarily joins the armed forces of another state. However, this only applies to regular armies, not to militias of non-state actors and that includes IS.
International law expert Matthias Hartwig: "in principle, every state has an obligation to take back goods. This is recognised under international law. The German side has also demanded this from North African states such as Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria. If Germans are stuck in northern Syria, Germany must take them back"
The third case is the withdrawal of citizenship. This can occur if a person has given false information when applying for naturalisation. If this can be proven, the act of naturalisation may be rescinded.
As a rule, therefore, IS returnees cannot be expatriated. However, there is debate as to whether "a person who has remained silent about his or her proximity to radical groups during naturalisation can have his or her naturalisation revoked," says Matthias Hartwig, lawyer and lecturer at the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and Public Law.
After all, a person who pursues goals that are strongly incompatible with the German legal system would not be naturalised in the first place.
Were a person already pursuing such goals at the time of naturalisation and kept silent about them, the act of naturalisation might then be rescinded.
In practice, however, it is extremely difficult to prove whether a naturalised IS fighter became radicalised before or after obtaining his German passport.
"Basically, every state has a duty to take back its citizens. This is recognised under international law. The German government has also demanded this of North African states such as Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria. The Federal Republic has been at pains to point out to these countries that they are obliged to accept their citizens. If Germans are stuck in northern Syria, then Germany must take them back," Hartwig said.
Establishing identity
According to the current legal situation, rejecting repatriation is not a realistic option. Any new legislation intended to apply to dual nationals who join terrorist groups abroad would only be applicable to future cases.
German citizens are generally registered. Proving that they are German citizens is therefore not much of a problem. "But German officials would have to travel to Syria and carry out identity checks." Should an individual be suspected of involvement in acts of war, the burden of proof lies with the German Federal Republic.
In principle, it is well nigh impossible to keep these ex-combatants out of Germany by constitutional means. Returnees holding dual nationality who are tried and sentenced in Germany could theoretically be expelled once their sentence has been served. "But a lot of time will have passed by then," points out Matthias Hartwig. "It would remain to be seen whether the state would still be interested in deporting them."

During the weekend of 27/28 October we rolled out new ticket machines on our buses.
These ticket machines can take contactless payments, so you can now buy any tickets up to £30 on the bus using a contactless credit/debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
The new machines also electronically scan and record some paper and app tickets. Tickets that are valid for more than one journey (i.e. return and weekly tickets etc) will now have a QR code on them. When you board the bus, simply scan your ticket QR code under the reader, and the machine will check it's valid. For some tickets, the driver may also manually check your ticket. If you're not sure where to scan your ticket the first time you get on board the bus, simply ask the driver.
Electronically checking tickets means everyone will be able to board faster, meaning quicker journeys for everyone. Plus, we'll get more detail about exactly what stops people are boarding the bus at, so we'll be able to improve our services in future.


"This service company is as advertised. They cleaned my chimney in fall of 2016. We did not use the fire place very much that winter. A year later in 2017, I called The Chimney Sweep when we noticed smoke coming into the room where the fireplace was. They promptly came out and fixed the problem at no charge."
"This is the third time I've used the Chimney Sweep to sweep our chimney. I highly recommend them. Professional work, reasonable price, prompt service and great guys!"
"Marcus couldn't have been more efficient, knowledgeable and professional! Since we recently moved, we had no idea what condition our chimney was in. Marcus spent 3+ hours (normal he tells me is 1-1 1/2 hours) sweeping the chimney, checking the integrity, cleaning the insert and scrubbing the firebox. He was extremely thorough and left our home spotless! He did a phenomenal job site clean-up. Cost was quite affordable for all he did. Would HIGHLY recommend Marcus and the Chimney Sweep to anyone who is need of fireplace inspection or cleaning."
"Marcus was very efficient and friendly. I have never had my chimney swept before and it was interesting to watch that process. I would highly recommend using "The Chimney Sweep". Very professional and I thought the cost was affordable."
"We are very pleased with the experience we had with The chimney Sweep. They are very professional and do a fantastic job, any time we need our chimney cleaned we will definitely call The Chimney Sweep. "

As promised, a follow up to my last post about DIY salad dressings. In the midst of winter, flavorful tomatoes are in short supply. Sun-dried tomatoes are a good way to bring tomato flavor into the depths of winter.
Here's a creamy, flavorful dressing that goes beyond the basic vinaigrette, but is still quick and easy to make.
• Immersion (or "stick") blender, food processor or blender.
• Soak tomatoes in hot water for 15-20 minutes.
• If using immersion blender, place all ingredients except feta and oil, in a tall, clear cylindrical container or measuring cup. Blend until fairly smooth.
• Crumble feta and add to container.
• With blender running, slowly drizzle in oil.
• If consistency is too thick, blend in water, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Other herbs, such as marjoram, dill, parsley or chives may be substituted for basil according to your taste. This dressing works well on a traditional greens-based salad, but its bold flavor also works well when mixed with blanched and chilled green beans, drained and rinsed garbanzo beans and chopped Kalamata olives (as pictured below). You can substitute other green veggies (broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cucumbers or even kale) for the green beans. And cooked grains (farro, wheat berries, barley) or any other type of canned beans can replace the garbanzos.

Zach's writing ranges from matters of gardening, cooking, aquariums, and fish to more niche topics like coin collecting.
Members of the nightshade family, eggplants make for great additions to any garden during the hot summer months. With a squat growth structure and production of purple to white colored fruits, eggplants also tend to find themselves as the aesthetic focus of home vegetable gardens. With a gorgeous appearance and delectable fruit production, it's always more than upsetting to discover that your precious plants have fallen victim to pests!
If your plants are showing even the slightest signs of stress, it's essential to identify and remove eggplant pests immediately. Fortunately, pests on eggplants can be eliminated with a little patience and persistence. In this article, you'll find crucial identification and elimination information for the most serious eggplant pests.
Pests on eggplants are generally one of the first indications of lax or loose gardening techniques. It's never to say that you're a terrible gardener, it should just lead you to make sure that every aspect of the garden be in excellent standing for growing eggplants.
This eggplant insect is of the most concern, especially in areas where the Colorado potato beetle is prevalent. The adult beetle is characterized by a golden color with 10 distinctive vertical black stripes down the back of the body.
Larvae of the beetles are somewhat smaller and much darker. Larvae contain no striping. The average size of the beetles range from 10–15 mm. In heavy untreated infestations, Colorado potato beetles can cause severe damage by defoliating eggplant crops. Plant growth, vigor, and number of set fruit greatly suffers.
Colorado Potato Beetle Treatment: If these beetles are spotted near or on your eggplant plants, quick action will minimize damage. With prolific egg laying females and a resistance to most every commercial and organic pesticide, Colorado potato beetle elimination requires vigilance from the gardener. Handpick all visible larvae and adult beetles by hand. If plant damage is present, vacuuming the underside of the eggplant leaves daily can prevent more eggs from hatching. Neem oil may also be as a somewhat effective deterrent of the beetles.
Equally as significant of a pest as Colorado potato beetles is the Two-Spotted Spider Mite. These mites pose a great risk to eggplants, as they often cause a great amount of damage before they are even detected. The reason for their often delayed detection is their microscopic size. Measuring in at an average length of 0.3–0.5 millimeters, and with natural tendencies to cluster on the underside of plant leaves, detection of the mites becomes impossible without close examination.
Two-Spotted Spider Mite Treatment: The first move to treating Two-Spotted Spider Mites is to make sure you indeed have an infestation. Place a white piece of paper beneath suspected affected leaves and sharply tap each leaf surface. If the mites are present, you'll be able to observe tiny black dots moving on the paper. For small infestations, discourage further development by misting the underside of affected leaves with water and promote beneficial predators such as ladybugs and predator mites. Serious infestations may require more effective applications such as neem and garlic solutions.
Characterized by their green and slender 2 mm bodies, leaf hoppers are of concern when large populations are present. The highly mobile adult leafhoppers will hop from plants upon being disturbed, while the nymphs will run sideways. In either form, leafhoppers cause damage to eggplants by eating from and breeding on the undersides of eggplant leaves. Oftentimes under increased populations, leaves of affected eggplants will develop yellow spots, curl up at the leaf margin and sometimes drop.
Leafhoppers: If you suspect leafhoppers are a problem in your garden, brush or rustle eggplants you think may harbor the pests. Be observant! You'll be able to easily confirm their existence if you see small green insects hopping from the foliage. When confirmed, apply a neem solution. Leafhopper populations are easily dispersed and further prevented from return with neem application.
A small (3–5 mm), winged insect that dwells and feeds on the underside of eggplant leaves, the eggplant lace bug has an oblong appearance with lace-like wings. While lace bugs cause damage by foraging on eggplant leaves, they only create substantial damage when large populations exist. Eggplants affected by the lace bugs will show evidence through misshapen spots of discoloration on the leaves.
Eggplant Lace Bug Treatment: At the first sign of mottled spots of discoloration, observe the underside of the affected eggplant leaves. Try not to disturb the leaves when doing so. Lace bugs are easily spotted with their unique appearance, so it will be obvious if they're present. Like leafhoppers, lace bugs can also be deterred and prevented from further infestation with simple neem oil applications.
Microscopic roundworms that exist in the soil, these tiny parasitic organisms thrive in climates that receive hot summers and short, mild winters. Root knot nematodes invade the root system of a host plant's root system, in turn causing "knots" to form. Roots that have been infected with root knot nematodes suffer from galls in the root structure that weaken the efficiency of water and nutrient uptake. Mature plants can withstand nematodes in small numbers without sustaining much damage to loss or yields. Infestation of young eggplants and large numbers of nematodes can destroy crops.
Root Knot Nematode Treatment: Gardeners who are growing eggplant in sandy soil should beware of this nematode. Due to visible damage being isolated below the soil line, it's difficult to pinpoint nematode damage without slightly digging up the roots. If there are visible knots on the roots, nematodes are present. Companion planting with members of the brassica family such as broccoli, mustard, and cauliflower can reduce the number of nematodes in the soil. Marigolds also work well as a companion plant to reduce nematodes. If nematodes numbers are at extremes, soil solarization may be considered.
Besides the most serious of eggplant pests, there are also numerous other pests that cause less severe damage. Thrips, flea beetles, cutworms, armyworms, aphids, and white flies can also find food in maturing eggplant plants. The treatment for such insects is usually very simple and can be cured in reasonable time. Following standard organic guides for the elimination of these pests will work effectively.
First time gardeners, don't be discouraged. While it may seem like the pests of eggplant are numerous and too much to handle, taking great care of your garden from the start can prevent them from even coming. Practicing crop rotation, companion planting, and proper soil and watering techniques will promote a lush and healthy garden. Pests take advantage of stress, not health. Thank you for reading my article on the pests of eggplant plants.
so how do we treat them?
The potato beetles have wiped out on bed of eggplants. I just sprayed with vinager and water. Hope it works because they are spreading to other eggplants around the house.
Spider mites are seriously a pain. I've always had to deal with an arid climate, so when the hottest part of summer rolls in, so do the mites.
Good advice. Especially about the two-spot spider mite. We've had issues before with these critters and it's good to know we can use ladybirds on them. Thanks.


"What are you passionate about?" is a popular interview question. As I prepared for an upcoming interview, I contemplated my answer. I thought, "my faith and cooking." Since I was interviewing for a secular institution, I pushed myself to have an answer ready to any follow-up questions that may come, like, "what does your faith have to do with your job?" It was likely that I would never be asked that, but I decided to answer it anyway. What did my faith have to do with my job? I realized it had more to do with it than I'd ever really realized. I wasn't a good employee or knowledgeable about my field solely because of my education and the values instilled in me by my parents. I possessed the attributes of a valuable contribution to any company for which I'd ever worked because I strive to live by Christian principles. So, what does my faith have to do with my job? What does your faith have to do with your job? Everything. The Bible serves as one of the best employee handbooks that could ever be written, literally. The scriptures run the gamut on how to perform and succeed in any profession. I've started a list below. It's not an exhaustive list by any means, so I challenge you to add to it and make it your employee handbook. Print it out and pin it up in your office or workspace. On hard days, refer to it. Make it your, "why." Our good work down here will also be rewarded up there.


Briefly discuss the biography of Alexis de' Tocqueville, John Stuart Mills and James Madison from the hyperlinks within the course.
Some people argue that the passage of Proposition 8 in California banning gay marriage was a form of majority tyranny. Others might argue that permitting gay marriages would be a form of majority tyranny because they are members of groups that believe that such marriages would be damaging to the society. What about the prospective employee who says that if someone refuses to hire him because he is an atheist then they are engaging in majority tyranny? The employer, on the other hand says if the law requires him to hire people who are atheists then he is a victim of majority tyranny. After reading, at least Chapter 4 of On Liberty, explain how these apparently conflicting views might be resolved.
What mechanisms did Madison suggest to fight against majority tyranny? Include information based on the video "Federalist Papers 51" Discuss one of Madison's famous quotations from "Federalist Papers 51 "If men were angels; government would not be necessary".
