What can you see and do? You can't Edit
We are often asked whether there is actually anything still left to do in Christchurch- there seems to be the assumption that Christchurch is lifeless and boring after the earthquakes however this is far from the truth! Christchurch is currently what's called a 'transitional city'. There's a lot of change happening. That's allowing innovation to flourish. Lonely Planet has released a new post-quake chapter on Christchurch, which is online free of charge. Heaps of great information on what's on and open in the city, and which areas are charging forward with new bars, restaurants and shops. Even if you're just here for one day, there is plenty to see in just a short stroll to the city centre. Please feel free to take one of the pocket maps at reception- they are free. Here is a list of things to see near us:
Canterbury Museum: Explore Canterbury's rich cultural and natural history. See what life was like for the early indigenous people of New Zealand right through to the earliest of colonial settlers several hundred years later. Canterbury museum has something for everyone to enjoy- an insightful exhibition on the experience of the brave emergency response teams during the devastating Christchurch earthquake, ancient Asian art and its beautiful heirlooms, geographic history of our Canterbury region, a real Egyptian Mummy and so much more…!
• Open 9:00am-5:00pm daily. Free Entry (donations welcome)
Botanic Gardens: Ever wonder why Christchurch is often referred to as the Garden City? Founded in 1863- A great place to visit and explore. The gardens are surrounded by rivers and large ancient trees that litter the grounds. Beautiful rose gardens and tropical houses with a variety of plants. Definitely the best spot in the city for a garden picnic in the warmer months.
• Open from 7:00am daily. Free entry
Christchurch Art Gallery (Te Puna o Waiwhetu): Canterbury has a wealth of artistic talent proudly on show in galleries and artisan workshops throughout the region. Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna O Waiwhetu in the heart of Christchurch is home to one of New Zealand's most important public art collections. Offering free daily guided tours with knowledgeable guides and an extensive exhibition calendar, it is certainly worth the visit when in Christchurch.
• Open 10:00am- 5:00pm daily- late night Wednesday 10:00am-9:00pm. Free entry
Christchurch Art Centre: Iconic neo-Gothic campus in Christchurch, New Zealand. Arts, culture, education and creative industries. Now undergoing a $290m, seven-year post earthquake restoration. After closing up after the Feb 2011 earthquake, 2016 has seen almost half of the Art Centre reopening. Currently you can go and visit the Great Hall which displays the stunning stained-glass window which was rededicated to the memory of all staff and students who served in World War One and who previously attended an institution once based on the site now known as the Arts Centre. Rutherford's Den is also open to view, Ernest Rutherford carried out much of his own research into the high frequency magnetisation of iron in a basement den in the Clock Tower Building- Rutherford's life works lead to discovering how to split the atom which of course was ground-breaking in the formation of the atomic bomb, his research won him a Nobel Prize in 1908. Stay tuned… 2016 expects the James Logie Classics collection to be moved back into the Arts Centre precinct – the collection contains vases, mosaics and many other beautifully restored pieces from ancient Greece and Rome.
Punting on the Avon: Summer or winter, glide along the tranquil Avon River in Christchurch, as a skilled punter in traditional Edwardian attire propels you slowly along the water. Our Avon River Punting tours are set aboard handcrafted flat-bottomed boats, poled along by your punter from the platformed till at the rear end of the boat. An ideal group or family activity, Punting on the Avon is an eco-friendly way to relax and enjoy Christchurch from a different perspective. Antigua Boat Sheds also offer kayak hire in case you want to do the hard work yourself and bike hire at varied prices.
• Open 10:00am- 4:00pm (winter), 9:00am-6:00pm (summer)
Cathedral Square: Previously the busy centre of Christchurch and the home of the iconic Anglican Cathedral which was severely damaged in the earthquake. An interesting landmark to visit to get a grasp at just how powerful and devastating the earthquakes were on our historic buildings. To liven up the space the city holds international food markets every Friday night with talented buskers and delicious treats.
New Regent Street: Originally opened in 1932, New Regent Street in central Christchurch is home to an exciting range of boutique businesses in a stunning heritage setting. The ideal place to relax and indulge yourself. Over a three year period the area was transformed into a terraced street of Spanish Mission style speciality shops. Opened by the Mayor of Christchurch on 1st April 1932, New Regent Street was a beautiful ray of colour and hope in the midst of the depression. Described then as New Zealand's most beautiful street, it has brought pleasure to shoppers and tourists ever since.
Re:Start Mall: This labyrinth of shipping containers was the first retail 'mall' to reopen in the CBD postquakes. With cafes, food trucks, souvenir shops and people-watching opportunities, it remains a pleasant place to hang out, particularly on a sunny day. Voted a must-do by Lonely Planet.
• Open 10:00am-5:00pm daily
Cardboard Cathedral: The Cathedral makes use of varied construction materials from cardboard tubes to timber beams, structural steel and concrete. It is the largest 'emergency structure' to be designed by Shigeru Ban who, with the support of associate architect Yoshie Narimatsu, contributed his time free of charge and gifted the building's design to the Cathedral, Diocese and Christchurch. The Cardboard Cathedral's triangular window design includes 49, 1.2 metre tall panels and incorporates images from ChristChurch Cathedral's original rose window.
• Open 9:00am- 5:00pm daily
Earthquake Memorial (185 empty chairs): Reflection of Loss of Lives, Livelihoods and Living in Neighbourhood is an installation by Peter Majendie, standing on a vacant lot in the heart of Christchurch. Where a church once proudly stood, the 185 white chairs each represent one of the 185 lives lost in the 2011 Christchurch earthquake. Each chair, just like its owner, has its own distinct personality, with the installation including armchairs, dining room chairs, a wheel chair, and even a baby capsule. The 185 square metres of grass that the chairs sit on represents new growth and regeneration – something which you can see and feel across the whole city. The artist's statement poetically reminds us all that the 'installation is temporary – as is life'.
Alice Cinamatheque: Positioned in the Old High Street Post Office, Alice offers an exclusive 38 seat Arthouse cinema designed with Egyptian flair. Comfort is paramount. Sink back into luxurious seating and enjoy a choice of snacks and drinks from Alice's Nibble Nook or C1 Espresso's fully-licensed Cafe. Take a trip back in time and experience the excitement and opulence of the golden era of film - today's technology with yesterday's ambience. A good mix of both Mainstream and Independent Films.

large-city
Christchurch is the gateway to the South Island of New Zealand. Many international visitors will either in arrive or depart from this largest, centrally located, South Island city.
Christchurch is still home to a hefty colonial influence, displaying its ex-Englishness around many an atypical corner, and defying the country on the whole's step away from influences imported centuries ago from half way around the globe. Home to such colonial remnants as an Anglican Church, punts (an English version of the Venice canal boat), trams and exceedingly English buildings, its long been eyed by the rest of New Zealand as an oddly conservative entity, resistant to social change. After all, it's even named after an English town.
Visitors may spend their time marveling at the beauty of this city, exploring the natural beauty of rugged Hagley Park, discovering the garden city's Botanical Gardens or even taking a helicopter flight over it all.
For all its traditional ethos, though, Christchurch does offer the odd glimpse of indigenous kiwi culture. Nga Hau E Wha Marae, for example, is the largest urban Marae in New Zealand, and offers a fantastic Maori cultural experience. The carved sides of the meetinghouse are fantastic in their own right, and visitors take the chance to get involved in workshops, performances and a traditional ceremonial welcome. An astonishingly enticing experience.
It would be criminal to miss Akaroa harbor, where you can happily spend a day cruising around searching for dolphins and penguins. In nearby Lyttleton harbor you can take in the scene from a waterside café, a great chill out day. If you just can't resist that towering overview of it all, Christchurch Gondola will whisk you up into the hills to stare down over the city, and far out to sea.
Increasingly, despite its traditional conservatism, Christchurch is catching up with the rest of the country when it comes to contemporary culture, too; you'll no longer find yourself sitting at home quietly on the cold winter evenings. It won't be the best party you've ever been too, either, but for a taste of the New Zealand of old, together with that priceless Maori experience, Christchurch is difficult to ignore.

The Wandering Frog
Lovely place which will make you feel welcome. Very convenient location as it's close to the airport bus, close to the magnificent botanical garden and 15min walk from the city center and the info center. Beds are comfy, though it gets a little cold at night. Shower and toilet are clean. Kitchen is nice but could use a little more fridge space.
Sam Kavanagh
A small walk from the CBD. This hostel is in a nice quiet street between the main park and the restaurant/cafe street of the city. The hostel itself is a lovely building with very friendly & helpful staff. We had a private room and it was a good size and even had its own TV. We really enjoyed our stay at Dorset House.
Toon Nelissen
Very cute hostel, nice staff, clean. Not far from city center and beautiful botanical garden. Started our NZ trip here and were so happy that we stayed there as wel for our last day, before heading home.
Juaymah Villanueva
First time travelling on my own! such a good spot by the park and I found it nice walking to botanic gardens and the city centre. Nice and clean and everything I needed was available. Even before I arrived staff were fantastic, answering all my questions and ensuring my stay was comfortable and safe. Such a nice first couple of nights for a solo traveller! Might be back in mid August! Thank you so much to the lovely staff.

Update: Afropunk's Atlanta festival has been cancelled entirely due to a "poor weather outlook" for the greater Atlanta area. Read a full statement over at their website.
D'Angelo has been forced to pull out of two upcoming concerts due to health issues. According to a report in The New York Times, the Black Messiah singer has been forced to cancel appearances at a tribute to Bill Withers at Carnegie Hall and Afropunk's Atlanta iteration.
RCA Records told The Times that D'Angelo was "following doctor's orders," but declined to detail the explicit ailment. His doctor Michael Archer said that he told him "to refrain from any strenuous activity for the next two weeks."

Silicon Valley executives are meeting to tackle privacy problems they helped create
Reuters/Aaron Bernstein
When innovation meets regulation.
Society wants more regulation of tech companies but no one knows how that looks.
By Simone Stolzoff
Technology Reporter
June 27, 2018 This article is more than 2 years old.
Executives from large tech companies will meet in San Francisco today (June 27) to discuss how to better protect consumer privacy. The meeting, first reported by Axios, was organized by the Information Technology Industry Council, a trade group whose members include Facebook, Google, and Apple.
The council will discuss a potential national data protection policy, which the Trump administration has begun to explore in response to the growing concern that companies aren't doing enough to protect consumer data online. Unlike Europe, which as of last month has the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), data protection in the US is sector specific—consumer health data is regulated differently from, say, financial data.
The meeting comes at a time when tensions between Silicon Valley and Washington have been in the national spotlight. Employees at Google, Microsoft, and Salesforce have signed petitions to protest their employers' government contracts. Meanwhile, Silicon Valley executives have been called to testify in front of Congress about their companies' data collection and protection practices.
Now, Silicon Valley is trying to get out in front of protecting consumers' privacy before the government intervenes. The ability to collect and package user data for advertisers is not only important to the business models of platforms like Facebook, Google, and Twitter, it is the business model. So, despite the companies' PR incentive to appear strong on privacy, they also have an economic incentive to make sure regulations don't impair their ability to make money.
In Washington, Gail Slater, a special assistant to the president with the National Economic Council, has been exploring what a federal data protection policy might look like. Slater is no stranger to the tech industry agenda. Before she became a tech policy advisor, she served as the general counsel at the Internet Association, which represents tech firms such as Google and Facebook. But despite hints that the Trump Administration is exploring a federal data protection policy, a law as comprehensive as GDPR is unlikely.
Europe treats data protection as a fundamental human right (the right to data protection is sandwiched between right to marry and the right to have a private family life in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights), whereas the US is reluctant to pass regulation that might stymie innovation. Despite Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's claim EU privacy laws would be applied globally "in spirit," there is little enforcement in the United States to hold his claim to account.
"Just because Europe has taken a comprehensive approach doesn't mean our different approach is deficient," Dean Garfield, president and CEO of the Information Technology Industry Council, told Axios. "And just because Europe is early doesn't mean it's best or final. But we should always be thinking about how we evolve to make sure consumers have trust in our products."

What Christians Believe
Modernism has had a significant impact on Christianity in the 20th century. Modernism draws off the empirical skepticism of people like David Hume, John Locke, and Jeremy Bentham and the theories of Charles Darwin. It expressed itself in criticism of the Bible, some constructive and some not so constructive. Modernism influenced bishops to set aside core beliefs of the Christian faith such as the miracles of Jesus, the miraculous conception of Jesus by his Virgin mother, and the bodily resurrection of Jesus. Former Episcopal Church bishop James Pike is an example. He rejected the doctrines of the Virgin birth and the Trinity.
As the influence of Modernism grew, so did the opposing movement of fundamentalism. This movement defended a literal interpretation of the days of creation in Genesis, and developed a new idea about the Bible, namely, that it is without error. Fundamentalism also held the Bible as the only authority for Christians (sola scriptura), setting aside the Church's historic view of the Bible as the first and last authority along with the consensus of the Church Fathers and Church Tradition.
Both Modernism and Fundamentalism find common ground in the emergence of Protestantism. Protestantism broke with the past in significant ways. It applied a rationalist approach to the Faith which led to doubts about the Trinity since this divine mystery cannot be grasped by the human mind.
Coupled with Renaissance humanism, Protestant rationalism prepared the way for ethics based on human reason and a liberal view of human rights. Some who called themselves Protestants became Deists. The Christian concept of moral obligation to God's law shifted to moral obligation to the natural law of individual liberty and property (Locke, Jefferson). Deism, combined with the Calvinist work ethic, launched a view of natural rights that justified private property as a divine right.
Protestants stressed living according to individual conscience and individual interpretation of the Bible, apart from the Tradition of the Church. Protestants are more comfortable with innovations such as Dispensationalism and the Rapture, new ways of services, contemporary praise bands, women clergy, and Pentecostal practices such as speaking in tongues and being slain in the Spirit.
Though there are many denominational differences among Christians, especially since the 16th century, Christians around the world tend to agree on certain core beliefs. Many of these beliefs have been clarified by councils of wise bishop, priests and deacons. This is why it is possible to speak of Christianity as conciliar.
The core beliefs of the Christian Faith are expressed in the words of the Nicene Creed, a formulation of the core doctrines originally adopted in the city of Nicaea (present day Iznik, Turkey) by the First Council of Nicaea in 325.
We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker (of heaven and earth, and) of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds (æons), Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father;
by whom all things were made (in heaven and on earth);
who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man;
he was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered, and was buried, and the third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father;
from thence he shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead;
whose kingdom shall have no end.
And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceedeth from the Father (Rome adds "and from the Son"), who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified, who spake by the prophets.
In one holy catholic and apostolic Church; we acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
In the history of the Church 7 councils have been especially important. These councils were called to resolve questions and controversies surrounding Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary, and holy images such as icons.
The Third, Fourth, Fifth and Seventh Councils address the veneration (honor) due to the Virgin Mary. The veneration of Mary was a common practice before the time of the Puritans, and the oldest cathedrals in England have side chapels dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Many of the original statutes of Mary and other saints were destroyed by the Puritans. The destruction of images is called "iconoclasm."
The veneration of Mary was common practice before the emergence of Protestantism. Martin Luther, the father of the Reformation, had much to say about the veneration of Mary.
He wrote, "The veneration of Mary is inscribed in the very depths of the human heart." (Sermon, Sept. 1st 1522) He also said, "People have crowded all her glory into a single phrase: The Mother of God. No one can say anything greater of her, though he had as many tongues as there are leaves on the tress." (From the Commentary of the Magnificat)
1. First Council of Nicaea (A.D. 325) with 318 bishops present, including St. Nicholas of Myra, St. James of Nisibis, and St. Athanasius of Antioch, who was a deacon at that time.
This Council was called to resolve controversy raised by the Alexandrian priest Arius, who rejected the Jesus Christ's divine nature and eternal pre-existence as the second person of the Holy Trinity, the Son of God the Father. Arius taught that the Son of God is the highest creation. Therefore, in the Nicene Creed we affirm that Jesus Christ is "begotten of the Father, not made…"
2. First Council of Constantinople (A.D. 381) with 150 bishops present, including Gregory the Theologian, who presided over the Council, Gregory of Nyssa, and Cyril of Jerusalem.
This Council was convoked against the false teaching of the Arian bishop of Constantinople, Macedonius, who rejected the deity of the third Person of the Holy Trinity, the Holy Spirit. He taught that the Holy Spirit is not God, and called Him a created power like an angel, and therefore subservient to God the Father and God the Son. The Council affirmed as a dogma (unchanging truth) the equality and the single essence of God the Holy Spirit with God the Father and God the Son. The Council also supplemented the Nicene Creed, or "Symbol of Faith," with five Articles in which is set forth its teaching about the Holy Spirit, about the Church, about the Mysteries, about the resurrection of the dead, and the life in the world to come. This is called the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed and it serves as a guide to the Church for all time.
3. Council of Ephesus (A.D. 431) with 200 bishops present
This Council repudiated the false doctrine of Nestorius, Archbishop of Constantinople, who profanely taught that the Most-holy Virgin Mary simply gave birth to the man Christ, with whom then God united morally and dwelled in Him, as in a temple, as previously He had dwelled in Moses and other prophets. Nestorius denied that Jesus is God incarnate and therefore the Virgin Mary was not the God-bearer (Theotokos). The Council upheld the divine nature of Jesus Christ and that at the time of the incarnation he was of two natures, divine and human, and that being so, the Mary did indeed bear God. The Council also affirmed the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed, and strictly prohibited making any changes or additions to it (as happened when the Roman Catholic Church added the words "and from the Son" to the Creed, referring to the procession of the Holy Spirit. This is called the "Filioque clause" and it is now optional for Anglican to say when reciting the Nicene Creed.
4. Council of Chalcedon (A.D. 451) with 650 bishops present
This Council met to challenge the false doctrine of an archimandrite of a Constantinople monastery, Eutychius, who rejected the human nature of the Lord Jesus Christ. In attempting to defend the divinity of Jesus Christ, he himself fell into the extreme. Eutychius taught that the human nature was completely absorbed into Jesus Christ's divine nature (Monophysitism). Therefore, it followed that one need only recognize Jesus Christ's divine nature. The Council determined that Jesus Christ is perfect God, born by God, and perfect Man, taking his flesh from his mother Mary and in every way He is like us, except without sin. Some Eastern churches do not accept this judgment. These include the "miaphysite" Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church, the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, the Armenian Apostolic Church, the Syriac Orthodox Church, and the Malankara Orthodox Church of India. These are considered "Non-Chalcedonian" churches. Miaphysitism holds that in Jesus Christ, Divinity and Humanity are united in one nature (monism), the two being united without separation, without confusion, and without alteration.
5. Second Council of Constantinople (A.D. 553) with 165 bishops present
This Council reaffirmed that Jesus Christ has two natures, human and divine, and that these are neither separable nor mixed. This council convened to address the heretical proposition that the Christ and Jesus were two separate persons loosely conjoined, and that the Virgin Mary could not be called the Mother of God (Gk. Theotokos), but only the mother of Christ (Gk. Christotokos). This idea about Mary has already been condemned at the earlier ecumenical council of Ephesus in 431.
6. Third Council of Constantinople (A.D. 680) with 170 bishops present, including St. Sophronius, Patriarch of Jerusalem, and St. Maximus the Confessor, who the Romans had tortured by cutting out his tongue cut and chopping off his hand.
The Council condemned the heresies of monoenergism and monothelitism, and defined Jesus Christ as having two energies and two wills (divine and human). Monoenergism teaches that Jesus Christ had two natures but only one energy, whereas orthodoxy teaches that Jesus Christ acts through two energies, divine and human, generally called Dyoenergism. Monothelitism teaches that Jesus Christ had two natures but only one will. This is contrary to orthodox Christology, which teaches that Jesus Christ has two wills (human and divine) corresponding to his two natures.
The Sixth Ecumenical Council also rejected several innovations of the Roman Church, namely, the requirement that priests and deacons be celibate, strict fasting on Saturdays during Lent, and representations of Jesus as a lamb, or in any way other than He appeared on the earth. This was intended to curb what was regarded as Roman idolatry.
7. Second Council of Nicaea (A.D. 787) with 367 bishops, priests and "spiritual fathers" present
This Council was convened against the iconoclastic heresy, which had been raging for sixty years before the Council, under the Greek Emperor Leo III, who hoped to convert Muslims to Christianity. To do so, he thought it necessary to do away with icons. Emperor Leo's son, Constantine V (741–775), held the Council of Hieria to make the suppression of holy images official. Veneration of the holy icons was finally restored and affirmed by the local synod of Constantinople in 843 A.D., under the Empress Theodora. At this last ecumenical council is was determined that, "As the sacred and life-giving cross is everywhere set up as a symbol, so also should the images of Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary, the holy angels, as well as those of the saints and other pious and holy men be embodied in the manufacture of sacred vessels, tapestries, vestments, etc., and exhibited on the walls of churches, in the homes, and in all conspicuous places, by the roadside and everywhere, to be revered by all who might see them. For the more they are contemplated, the more they move to fervent memory of their prototypes. Therefore, it is proper to accord to them a fervent and reverent adoration, not, however, the veritable worship which, according to our faith, belongs to the Divine Being alone — for the honor accorded to the image passes over to its prototype, and whoever adores the image adores in it the reality of what is there represented."
In keeping with the spirit of the early Middle Ages, there was an emphasis on every church having a relic enshrined in the altar. A relic consists of the physical remains or personal effects of a saint or venerated person preserved as a tangible memorial. All Eastern Orthodox churches and many Roman Catholic churches have altars containing relics. Many of the oldest churches in England have relics. Relics of St. Thomas Becket are housed in Trinity Chapel at Canterbury Cathedral. Recently, archaeologists have found the remains of four of the Puritan founders of the Jamestown Settlement and were surprised to find a relic among the items buried with Capt. Gabriel Archer. (See 2015, Washington Post, "Jamestownexcavation unearths four bodies and a mystery in a box")

T.S. Eliot on growing older
"As we grow older
The world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicated of dead and living.
Not the intense moment isolated, with no before and after,
But a lifetime burning in every moment...
Here and there does not matter
We must be still and still moving into another intensity
For a further union a deeper communion."

RIP René Girard
(Photo: Linda A. Cicero/Stanford News Service)
René Girard, a great intellectual light, died on November 4, 2015 at the age of 91. May he rest in peace and rise in glory! Girard lived a sequestered life in the academic burrows of Stanford, but his influence abroad is seismic. Even French President Nicolas Sarkozy cites his writings.
BY CYNTHIA HAVEN
French theorist René Girard was one of the leading thinkers of our era, a faculty member at Stanford since 1981 and one of the immortels of the Académie Française.
René Girard was one of the leading thinkers of our era – a provocative sage who bypassed prevailing orthodoxies and "isms" to offer a bold, sweeping vision of human nature, human history and human destiny.
The renowned Stanford French professor, one of the 40 immortels of the prestigious Académie Française, died at his Stanford home on Nov. 4 at the age of 91, after long illness.
Fellow immortel and Stanford Professor Michel Serres once dubbed him "the new Darwin of the human sciences." The author who began as a literary theorist was fascinated by everything. History, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, religion, psychology and theology all figured in his oeuvre.
International leaders read him, the French media quoted him. Girard influenced such writers as Nobel laureate J.M. Coetzee and Czech writer Milan Kundera – yet he never had the fashionable (and often fleeting) cachet enjoyed by his peers among the structuralists, poststructuralists, deconstructionists and other camps. His concerns were not trendy, but they were always timeless.
In particular, Girard was interested in the causes of conflict and violence and the role of imitation in human behavior. Our desires, he wrote, are not our own; we want what others want. These duplicated desires lead to rivalry and violence. He argued that human conflict was not caused by our differences, but rather by our sameness. Individuals and societies offload blame and culpability onto an outsider, a scapegoat, whose elimination reconciles antagonists and restores unity.
According to author Robert Pogue Harrison, the Rosina Pierotti Professor in Italian Literature at Stanford, Girard's legacy was "not just to his own autonomous field – but to a continuing human truth."
"I've said this for years: The best analogy for what René represents in anthropology and sociology is Heinrich Schliemann, who took Homer under his arm and discovered Troy," said Harrison, recalling that Girard formed many of his controversial conclusions by a close reading of literary, historical and other texts. "René had the same blind faith that the literary text held the literal truth. Like Schliemann, his major discovery was excoriated for using the wrong methods. Academic disciplines are more committed to methodology than truth."
Girard was always a striking and immediately recognizable presence on the Stanford campus, with his deep-set eyes, leonine head and shock of silver hair. His effect on others could be galvanizing. William Johnsen, editor of a series of books by and about Girard from Michigan State University Press, once described his first encounter with Girard as "a 110-volt appliance being plugged into a 220-volt outlet."
Girard's first book, Deceit, Desire and the Novel (1961 in French; 1965 in English), used Cervantes, Stendhal, Proust and Dostoevsky as case studies to develop his theory of mimesis. The Guardian recently compared the book to "putting on a pair of glasses and seeing the world come into focus. At its heart is an idea so simple, and yet so fundamental, that it seems incredible that no one had articulated it before."
The work had an even bigger impact on Girard himself: He underwent a conversion, akin to the protagonists in the books he had cited. "People are against my theory, because it is at the same time an avant-garde and a Christian theory," he said in 2009. "The avant-garde people are anti-Christian, and many of the Christians are anti-avant-garde. Even the Christians have been very distrustful of me."
Girard took the criticism in stride: "Theories are expendable," he said in 1981. "They should be criticized. When people tell me my work is too systematic, I say, 'I make it as systematic as possible for you to be able to prove it wrong.'"
In 1972, he spurred international controversy with Violence and the Sacred (1977 in English), which explored the role of archaic religions in suppressing social violence through scapegoating and sacrifice.
Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World (1978 in French; 1987 in English), according to its publisher, Stanford University Press, was "the single fullest summation of Girard's ideas to date, the book by which they will stand or fall." He offered Christianity as a solution to mimetic rivalry, and challenged Freud's Totem and Taboo.
He was the author of nearly 30 books, which have been widely translated, including The Scapegoat, I Saw Satan Fall Like Lightning, To Double Business Bound, Oedipus Unbound and A Theater of Envy: William Shakespeare.
His last major work was 2007's Achever Clausewitz (published in English as Battling to the End: Politics, War, and Apocalypse), which created the kind of firestorm only a public intellectual in France can ignite. French President Nicolas Sarkozy cited his words, and reporters trekked to Girard's Paris doorstep daily. The book, which takes as its point of departure the Prussian military historian and theorist Carl von Clausewitz, had implications that placed Girard firmly in the 21st century.
A French public intellectual in America
René Noël Théophile Girard was born in Avignon on Christmas Day, 1923.
His father was curator of Avignon's Musée Calvet and later the city's Palais des Papes, France's biggest medieval fortress and the pontifical residence during the Avignon papacy. Girard followed in his footsteps at l'École des Chartes, a training ground for archivists and librarians, with a dissertation on marriage and private life in 15th-century Avignon. He graduated as an archiviste-paléographe in 1947.
In the summer of 1947, he and a friend organized an exhibition of paintings at the Palais des Papes, under the guidance of Paris art impresario Christian Zervos. Girard rubbed elbows with Picasso, Matisse, Braque and other luminaries. French actor and director Jean Vilar founded the theater component of the festival, which became the celebrated annual Avignon Festival.
Girard left a few weeks later for Indiana University in Bloomington, perhaps the single most important decision of his life, to launch his academic career. He received his PhD in 1950 with a dissertation on "American Opinion on France, 1940-43."
"René would never have experienced such a career in France," said Benoît Chantre, president of Paris' Association Recherches Mimétiques, one of the organizations that have formed around Girard's work. "Such a free work could indeed only appear in America. That is why René is, like Tocqueville, a great French thinker and a great French moralist who could yet nowhere exist but in the United States. René 'discovered America' in every sense of the word: He made the United States his second country, he made there fundamental discoveries, he is a pure 'product' of the Franco-American relationship, he finally revealed the face of an universal – and not an imperial – America."
At Johns Hopkins University, Girard was one of the organizers for the 1966 conference that introduced French theory and structuralism to America. Lucien Goldmann, Roland Barthes, Jacques Lacan and Jacques Derrida also participated in the standing-room-only event. Girard quipped that he was "bringing la peste to the United States."
Girard had also been on the faculties at Bryn Mawr, Duke and the State University of New York at Buffalo before he came to Stanford as the inaugural Andrew B. Hammond Professor in French Language, Literature and Civilization in 1981.
Girard was a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and twice a Guggenheim Fellow. He was elected to the Académie Française in 2005, an honor previously given to Voltaire, Jean Racine and Victor Hugo. He also received a lifetime achievement award from the Modern Language Association in 2009. In 2013,King Juan Carlos of Spain awarded him the Order of Isabella the Catholic, a Spanish civil order bestowed for his "profound attachment" to "Spanish culture as a whole." He was also a Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur andCommandeur des Arts et des Lettres.
Others were impressed, but Girard was never greatly impressed with himself, though his biting wit sometimes rankled critics. Stanford's Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, the Albert Guérard Professor in Literature, called him "a great, towering figure – no ostentatiousness." He added, "It's not that he's living his theory – yet there is something of his personality, intellectual behavior and style that goes with his work. I find that very beautiful.
"Despite the intellectual structures built around him, he's a solitaire. His work has a steel-like quality – strong, contoured, clear. It's like a rock. It will be there and it will last."
Girard is survived by his wife of 64 years, Martha, of Stanford; two sons, Daniel, of Hillsborough, California, and Martin, of Seattle; a daughter, Mary Girard Brown, of Newark, California; and nine grandchildren.
Memorial plans have not been announced.

Chesterton on Corruption of Truth
"And it is some satisfaction to realise that we are not living in a nightmare in which No is the same as Yes; that even the modern world has not actually gone mad, with all its ingenious attempts to do so; that two and two do in fact make four; and that the man who has four apples really has more than the man who has three. For some modern metaphysicians and moral philosophers seem disposed to leave us in doubt on these points. It is not the fundamental reason in things that is at fault; it is a particular hitch or falsification, arising from a very recent trick of regarding everything only in relation to trade. Trade is all very well in its way, but Trade has been put in the place of Truth."-- G. K Chesterton

Love Definition Essay Example
Love Definition The word love is defined as: "a deep feeling of affection, devotion, or attachment to another person". Knowing the literal definition is not enough for a person to fully understand to concept of love. Love is so deep, it as so many parts that only words can't possibly help a person to grasp the idea. In the movie Good Will Hunting, Will experiences love with many different people. First, Will and his friends shared a special type friendship that included much love. Will considered his friends to be his brothers, he trusted and cared for them deeply.
The main character in the movie that showed Will how to love was Sean, his therapist. In the beginning of the movie, Will didn't know all that he needed to know about love. It wasn't until he met with Sean that he learned more about love. Sean taught Will about true love and true happiness. He said to Will that there is no way of knowing what love is until one experiences it.
Sean also told Will that he needed to find a soul mate, one who challenges him and one who touches his soul. Since Will had a hard past life, he put love last, making him feel scared and ashamed. His fear of attachment caused problems with Skylar, a girl he was interested in. It wasn't until he became comfortable with love, and took Sean's advice that he tried to fix his problems with Skyla. When some one is in love they are so overwhelmed with feeling. When you love someone you drop everything for them, and there are no regrets.
His or her flaws are not important, they are beautiful and wonderful in your eyes- nothing else matters. If Sean never taught Will about true love, he would of missed out on a great experience. Everyone learns about love from someone, whether it be a friend, parent or significant other. In my case I learned about true love though my significant other. In some ways I felt like Will because for the longest time I was afraid of love.
My current boyfriend helped me to open up and feel what love was really like. For the longest time I felt an emptiness, that is now filled with my love for him. The impact that he has had on my life is incredible, just the thought of him can brighten up even my worst days. Sean was right, no one can fully understand love until they have experienced all that it brings.

Q: The return answer is wrong Here is a link to my codepen.
https://codepen.io/julius-88/pen/poRNRrN?editors=1010

let bill = 430;
const tip = bill * 0.15;
const tip2 = bill * 0.2;
const finalBill = bill + tip;
const finalBill2 = bill + tip2;

tip >= 50 <= 300 ? console.log(`The bill was ${bill}, the tip was ${tip}, and the total value is ${finalBill}`) : console.log(`The bill was ${bill}, the tip was ${tip2}, and the total value is ${finalBill2}`);

My problem is the return value. I have checked all of my const individually and they are all correct. But when the final result shows it shows the wrong number.
In the example in my codepen the tip is suppose to be 86 but it says that it is 64.5. I have no idea why it reduced the number and im going nuts trying to figure it out.
Does anyone know why?

A: You've got a syntax error in your JavaScript right here:
tip >= 50 <= 300

Operators in JavaScript with similar precedence will be interpreted left-to-right. So this will first determine if tip is greater than or equal to 50, and return a boolean true or false. It will then see if true or false is less than or equal to 300.
JavaScript implicitly converts types when there's an operator mismatch, so when using an inequality operator on a boolean it will be converted as:

*

*true = 1

*false = 0

In either case true (1) <= 300 and false (0) <= 300 so no matter what the value of tip your conditional will always return true.
I think what you mean to say was:
tip >= 50 && tip <= 300 ? ...

Due to operator precedence the inequalities will be processed first (kind of like saying 2 * 3 + 4 * 5, the multiplication will be processed before the addition). It will then use the && to check that both inequalities were true.

Fresh from the Saints FAI FORD Cup victory over Limerick FC on Friday night, Ryan Guy attended the end of season awards for local club Castle Celtic in Drimnagh on Saturday morning.
A large attendance of players and family members saw Ryan present the club's player of the year awards and afterwards they all had a chance to ask the Pat's midfielder a question or two, pose for photographs and have him sign a team poster.
What type of boots does he wear? Who does he like more Rovers or Bohs? What's the toughest opponent in the League he has played against? How much does he earn and..... how does he get his hair like that? – were just some of the many questions Ryan faced.
"While obviously it's great to see you all playing football, at your age it's important that you just enjoy playing sport - whatever sport that may be - don't take things too seriously just make sure you go out and enjoy yourselves."
Ryan also encouraged the young supporters to come celebrate the 4th July with him by coming along to see St Pat's take on their Dublin rivals Shamrock Rovers in the League of Ireland.
The match kicks off at 8.00pm on Saturday 4th July at Richmond Park and tickets will soon be on sale from the club offices.

What to Say to a Bully: 31 Expert Recommendations
CPI August 08, 2022
"What to say to a bully" is a topic many students, educators, and parents search for. And 31 school-bullying-prevention difference makers have insight that can help.
Lots of people struggle with the question of "what to say to a bully." So we asked 31 thought leaders in bullying prevention this question:
You witness a kid engaging in bullying behavior. You have an opportunity to say one sentence to them. What is it?
Here are their answers. You'll find many ideas, lots of consensus, and some differences. Common themes include explicitly saying "STOP!", questioning the behavior, sparking empathy, and offering help.
Keep in mind that guiding positive behavior change in most circumstances is, of course, a process. As you know, there's rarely a quick fix or a one-size-fits-all approach for anything.
That said, we hope the following statements and insights will help you through the process of reducing bullying.
How to respond to bullying: 31 expert ideas
Say "STOP!"
Eight experts said to say "STOP!" simply and directly.
"Stop doing this — no one deserves to be treated this way!"
— Ross Ellis, Founder, Stomp Out Bullying
Ross: One word would be an authoritative "STOP." One sentence: "Stop doing this — no one deserves to be treated this way!" They should then take the arm of the victim and lead them away, even if the bully is still talking.
"Stop. We need to talk."
— Jim Dillon, Founder, The Center for Leadership and Bullying Prevention
Jim: I want to immediately stop someone from being hurt, and I would need to inform the person who was doing it that there would be follow-up.
Beyond establishing those two things, what I would say and do next depends a lot upon several things: the type/severity of the bullying, my relationship with the student who is bullying, and the situation/environment in which it is happening.
In many cases after I made sure the bullying stopped, I might decide that the student who was bullied might need more immediate attention than the student who was bullying. I would have to assess my resources at the moment since bullying takes place when many other things are happening that often cannot be put on hold, i.e., I would need to see what other adults were around to help me address the problem.
"Stop, you have no idea what your actions can cause someone else to do and the price for finding out is more than you or anyone should ever have to pay."
— Kirk Smalley, Founder, Stand for the Silent
"Stop! You're hurting him/her!"
— Bill Belsey, President and Founder of bullying.org
Bill: Bullying is emotional. Aggressors and victims of bullying literally aren't thinking rationally. Bullies use others to establish the power and control they want.
Most bullying happens when peers are together, nearly 90% of the time, but most bullying will stop in less than 10 seconds when peers intervene to befriend those being bullied. This means that those who witness bullying have the power to stop it and cannot continue to give bullies power by being silent bystanders. Speaking loudly calls attention to a bullying problem and can help prevent it from getting worse.
What should bystanders say to the bully? "Stop! You're hurting him/her!" They should not confront the bully further; they should befriend the victim and walk away. This can be very hard to do on your own. Try to have at least one or two friends with you for support.
"I need you to stop treating X that way. It's hurtful and completely inappropriate."
— Marc Brackett, Ph.D., Director, Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence
"Stop and think about what you're saying."
— Sue Scheff, Founder, Parents' Universal Resource Experts (P.U.R.E.)
Sue: I would immediately attempt to de-escalate the situation. Depending on the age of the children and the circumstances, I would ask them to consider how they would feel if someone was treating them the way they were treating the victim. I am someone that believes there is a learning experience in all situations — and hopefully the bully and the victim can walk away shaking hands.
"Stop that. You are bothering and offending me when you behave that way, and we don't do that here. I know you can behave better than that."
— Elizabeth Englander, Founder, Massachusetts Aggression Reduction Center
"Excuse me, it's not OK to make fun of another person (or whisper behind their back or exclude someone). That's not how we treat people at this school. Please stop."
— Michele Borba, Author, micheleborba.com
Michele: Start by addressing the behavior — what you see — and then emphasize the damage it causes the whole school climate — not just the child. You can get into more specifics later. The first is a calm, direct message that addresses a clearly inappropriate, hurtful behavior.
Explicitly saying "Stop" is clear, direct, and simple. The word can be pivotal to use as an adult, and as you saw in Ross Ellis's response above, STOMP Out Bullying recommends it for kids too — in situations where they feel safe and comfortable using it. Here's their whole tip sheet on Bullying and What You Can Do About It.
Ask "WHY?"
Two experts said they'd say just one word, asking just one question.
This behavior-questioning approach reminds me of something we teach here at CPI — which is viewing not the person as a problem, but their behavior as what requires change.
— Pernille Ripp, Founder, Global Read Aloud, and Dr. Justin Patchin, Co-Director, Cyberbullying Research Center
Pernille: There is always a story; there is always a reason, and it is our job to get to the bottom of it and to help the bully stop and the victim heal.
Justin: I don't know if I would say anything to the kid doing the bullying. I would more likely go up to the kid who was being targeted and remove him from the situation and make sure he knew I was a resource for him. If anything, the one sentence I would say to the kid engaging in the bullying behaviors might be boiled down to one word: "Why?" Of course this is my thirty-something self responding. It is quite different for teens who are put in this situation.
"Why?" is a great place to start because behavior is a form of communication. It's up to us as adults to listen to bullying behaviors and get to the root of what the student who's doing the bullying is really trying to say.
No question — a kid who's bullying might outwardly say, "You're stupid, you're ugly, you're worthless," but what's underneath that is where the solution lies. That is, the roots of a behavior can help you predict its path, intervene effectively, and prevent future bullying.
It's also important to remember that bullying is a learned behavior. If you work with hurt people, you know how common it is that people who hurt others have been hurt themselves, sometimes horrifically so. Again, it's about looking to the roots as the fundamental place to promote healthy growth and positive change.
Spark Empathy
Eight experts said they'd urge a kid who's bullying to put themselves in the recipients' shoes. And of course, there's all kinds of evidence that social and emotional learning (SEL) — including healthy empathy — is a key to increasing the quality of relationships and decreasing problem behavior.
"Imagine if someone just said (or did) exactly what you just did to someone you really love and care about."
— Raychelle Lohmann, Author, The Bullying Workbook for Teens
"What you're doing is hurting someone, but I understand you're struggling too."
— Deborah Temkin, Child Development Scientist
Deborah: One of the things we have to recognize is that bullying does not happen in isolation. Kids bully for many reasons, whether as a response to trauma or stress in their lives, or as a way to gain popularity and status based on the norms at their school. They may not even realize what they are doing is really hurting someone else.
It's often not as simple as telling a child who is bullying not to do it. We have to give them the tools to address the reasons why they're bullying and change the climates that reinforce the behavior.
"How would you feel if someone did this to you and what will you do to make things right?"
— Nancy Willard, Founder, Embrace Civility in the Digital Age
"You never know what somebody might be going through; they could be being abused at home or going through a death in the family, and your actions and words could be the thing to push them over the edge. It's not worth it."
— Tyler Gregory & Scott Hannah, National Spokespersons, Great American No Bull Challenge
"Do you realize that your behavior is not nice? Have you stopped to think how your behavior is affecting her/him? How do you think you would feel if another kid did that to you?"
— Dr. Dorothy Espelage, Bully Expert
"If someone did that to you, what would you say to them?"
— Joey Katona, Culture of Empathy Builder, startempathy.org
"You never know a person's struggle, so treat people with kindness; your cruel actions could send them over the edge."
— Unkle Adams, Motivational Rapper
"Would you like it if this was happening to your younger brother?"
— Alexandra Penn, Founder, Champions Against Bullying
Alexandra: Assuming the target is smaller than the bully, I would get between the two of them and ensure that nobody is hurt. Then, I would suggest the bully imagine how he would feel if he saw this happening to his younger brother. Would he like it? What would he do?
I would schedule separate follow-up meetings with the target and the bully and a third meeting that has the bully apologizing to the target. I would also inform both sets of parents, separately. I would then check in with the target in a couple of weeks to confirm that he is safe.
For more about the role of empathy, check out Bullying in School by Dr. Terry Ehiorobo, a school principal and education professor.
Dr. Ehiorobo points out that reflective interviews help kids who bully think about how their actions affect their victims. He first meets alone with the student who's doing the bullying and asks them to reflect on their behavior. He then has them meet in his office with the student they've bullied.
"Making things right with the victim lessens the bully's sense of power and control over the victim," Dr. Ehiorobo writes. "This process also allows me to empower the victim and provide him with new tools of confidence and assertion."
By the way, are you an empathic educator? Take the quiz!
Say That the Behavior Is Not Right, OK, or Allowed
Four thought leaders said they'd tell a student clearly that bullying is not OK.
"No more, not here, never."
— Barbara Coloroso, Founder, Kids Are Worth It
Barbara: If I saw a kid being mean, I would approach them and say in a very firm voice, "No more, not here, never. That was mean; that was cruel. This playground (bus, hallway, classroom) is a safe harbor for every kid."
That's the beginning of stopping the behavior, then the follow-up is to hold those doing the acts accountable, and to assure the kid who was targeted that I am here for them, and I care, and I will help them avoid succumbing to the bullying.
"We don't do that here."
— Susan Swearer, Director, Empowerment Initiative
Susan: This line came from a group of kids who were telling me about a boy who was bullying them on the playground and then he learned to stop bullying.
I asked, "Why do you think he stopped?" The kids told me that they said to him: "We don't do that here."
"Hey man, you don't have to treat people like that. That ain't right."
— Travis Brown, Founder, Mojo Up Anti-Bullying Program
Travis: I always like to keep it real simple. And I would say something like, "Hey man, that's not cool." Or, "Hey man, you don't have to treat people like that. That ain't right." Something simple that is even less confrontational.
But I also teach the three things that students can do:
Number one is you can step in. If you're comfortable, you can step in, and you personally can say something to that person that's the bully.
Second thing is you can reach out. That means reach out to the person who's being bullied, attacked, or talked about and just let them know that you're a friend, you're there for them, and you can be there for them long-term.
The third thing is to get help, and that means reach out to a principal, counselor, teacher, or coach and let them know what's happening so they can intervene in the situation.
So pretty simple ways to really make an impact, make a difference. All you gotta do is Mojo Up, because you make a difference.
"It's not okay to say that to someone in my classroom. Are we clear?"
— Signe Whitson, Author, 8 Keys To End Bullying: Strategies for Parents & Schools
Signe: Many adults struggle with finding the "right" words to say to a young person engaged in bullying behavior. Truthfully, the most effective messages are the ones delivered in under 15 seconds, such as:
"Sending that kind of text is unacceptable. Are we good?"
"Leaving one kid out of the group is not going to work. Let's fix this and move on."
Brief messages have the distinct advantage of sending a clear message to the child who is bullying that their behavior will not be tolerated while, at the same time, definitively signaling to a vulnerable child that they're safe and have the backing of a trustworthy adult. Moreover, brief statements don't humiliate anyone but do let everyone know that the adult is attuned to social dynamics and not afraid to step in to bring an end to bullying.
It's important to ensure that the kid who's doing the bullying knows which behaviors are wrong, why they're wrong, and what the consequences are. Setting clear expectations and limits helps kids who bully learn to make better choices about how they treat others — and it helps kids who are being bullied feel safer.
EduRef.org offers resources that help adults teach kids what types of behavior are OK and what "a safe school environment" truly means.
Tell the Person That You Want to Talk
Three experts said they'd start a conversation about stopping cruel behavior.
— Julie Hertzog, Director, Pacer's National Bullying Prevention Center
Julie: It is so important that you do say something to those involved in the behavior, that you do take action. To not address it, to not say that one sentence, your silence sends the clear message to the person bullying that their behavior is acceptable and within the norms. To the person being bullied, your silence implies that they are not safe in that environment. If we as adults don't enforce and encourage the social norms, who will?
And what should that one sentence be? It can be as simple as "we need to talk." That way, depending on the immediacy of the situation, you can address it right then, talking with each of those involved independently or later. It is important that those involved have the opportunity to share their story. Also important is to not make assumptions. Behavior is complicated, especially when it comes to aggressive acts, and there can often be more to the story than what lies on the surface.
"I'd like to talk to you, may I?"
— Emily-Anne Rigal, Author, Flawd: How to Stop Hating on Yourself, Others, and the Things That Make You Who You Are
Emily: One-on-one with someone is where it's possible to make a real difference. In a firm yet non-shaming way I'd ask what's going on with them. And then I'd be prepared to really listen. Because people who bully are people, too—hurt people, and "hurt people hurt people." Hurt people who seek to hurt others need to know there are other ways to manage their hurt.
"Tell me, please, what's making you so angry that you want to get back at him/her?"
— Annie Fox, Founder, Cruel's Not Cool!
Annie: By giving kids (and adults) opportunities to express their destructive emotions (anger, hurt, jealousy, rejection, fear, frustration) to people who are really listening, we help them get back in control of their emotions while helping them think more clearly about their options for getting their needs met.
It's crucial that kids have adults who they feel comfortable talking to, and that our responses are helpful and respectful — even when the bullying itself is definitely not respectful. That's the essence of Rational Detachment and the Integrated Experience: My attitudes and behaviors affect yours, and vice versa. And I can't control your behavior, but I can control how I respond to your behavior.
Taking the time to really listen will help you better understand where the kid is coming from. And by modeling respect yourself, you have the power to help them start showing respect too.
It's also important that your school policy — or your child's school's policy — be clear about communication, definitions, reporting, and expectations. Here's one district's policy on bullying that could help if it's time to refine your own. (And if you already have a good one, please share in the comments your process, expertise, or achievements!)
Acknowledge What the Person is Trying to Achieve
Two bullying prevention advocates said they'd tell a kid who's bullying that they recognize what the kid is trying to do, feel, or accomplish.
"I know bullying that girl gives you this 'high' and makes you feel almighty and powerful. But the truth is, a few years from now when you grow up, have kids of your own, and look back on what you've just done, I promise you won't feel all-mighty or powerful; you will just look in the mirror and feel sad."
— Tyler Stricker, Founder, High School Fat Ass
"Your abuse of others does not make you better."
— Anna Bucy, Anti-Bullying Advocate, annabucy.com
This very head-on approach reminds me of Grabbing a Bully by the Horns by Dr. Kathleen Briseno. In the article, Dr. Briseno emphasizes that there's a reason why someone bullies.
To get to the root of the behavior, she recommends asking yourself these questions:
What's going on in their life that makes them turn to bullying?
What do they have to gain?
What do they have to lose?
Offer Help
Three experts (two of whom were bullied as kids themselves) said they'd offer the person who's doing the bullying some much-needed help. All three suggested or outright said that they wouldn't give up on the person, and one said she'd help the person channel their power into positive outlets.
It's common for people who are violent to have learned somewhere along the way that power is finite, and that if they don't exert power over others, they will be overpowered themselves. This is of course connected to the "hurt people hurt people" reality that Emily-Anne Rigal shared.
Teaching by example that "power given is power gained" is, well, a powerful way to empower people to replace problem behavior with positive behavior.
"You don't need to be this kind of person. You have the power to make the world better, so let's figure out how you're going to use that power."
— Emily Lindin, Founder, The Unslut Project
"You wanted attention and now you have mine. Bullying him will not relieve the hurt you're feeling. But I can certainly help."
— Fabianna Pergolizzi, President and Founder, Project Anti-Bully
Fabianna: When I was a high school senior and Project Anti-Bully was in its preliminary steps, I witnessed a freshman boy being shoved into a locker by another taller freshman boy. There was a group of students watching this happen and doing absolutely nothing to help the young student. I walked right up to the freshman bully and said, "You wanted attention and now you have mine. Bullying him will not relieve the hurt you're feeling. But I can certainly help."
Shocked, he let go of the other student and was rendered speechless.
This bully's name is Tom. Tom is one of my main spokespersons for Project Anti-Bully. He tells students around the world that we must raise awareness of the emotional experiences the bully feels as well. For him, bullying was a main form of release for his emotional distress. Both boys became great friends and were roommates throughout all of college.
"Though I cannot assure you that I can fix this immediately or completely, I will not give up on helping you if you do not give up on me while I try to help you."
— Michael Dorn, Author, Weakfish: Bullying Through the Eyes of a Child
"I will not give up on helping you" is a crucial message to send someone who's on the receiving end of bullying. It's also a helpful thing to say to someone who's doing the bullying. Because, as Signe Whitson said in her interview with CPI, "young people deserve to be taught better ways to behave. Then we're really doing kids a service."

A School-Wide Approach: Managing Student Behavior
This free guide provides effective student management strategies for addressing challenging behaviors, preventing disruptions, and meeting your learners where they are.


Microsoft seems to have a bag of crucial elements prepared for the launch of the upcoming Xbox Two aka Xbox Scarlett that will reportedly make sure the console is a huge success.
It looks like the Xbox Two could give the PS5 some trouble once both consoles are out.
Express.co.uk notes that Microsoft is preparing something pretty interesting for the launch of the Xbox Two in 2020.
The Xbox One was a distant second to the PS4, and this was arguably due to lack of must-have games, but it seems that things are about to change.
This was reportedly an essential reason for the success of the console compared to the Xbox One.
As we said, this will change with the upcoming Xbox Two because Microsoft will be moving its focus to innovative adventures that will have a focus on the story.
At least, this is what a new recruitment video which was posted by Microsoft studio The Initiative said.
"The Initiative is a new game development studio located blocks from the beach in sunny Santa Monica, CA," the studio explains.
The feedback was a really positive one, and people were more than excited after seeing the video.

Q: How to make the JS function get the data from the database everytime I call it? I am using a code look like this:

print them

It works, but the function is running the PHP code only on the page loading and not every time I call the function. So, if the target employee name is changed the JS function will show the old name untill the page is reloaded. How to make the JS function get the data from the database everytime I call it?

A: look into a library like jQuery
Then using the following code
function getdata(){
  $.post("path/to/file.php", function(data) {
        var employee = data;
        // do whatever with the data.
  });
}

and you can still use your same html
print them

and file.php
<?php

// connect to your db, get your results, echo them back
echo $row['empnm'];
 ?>

A: When you first request the page, PHP renders out a whole string of html, then your browser executes that generated HTML, not the original PHP.  i.e. your server is going to send something like

print them

So, as far as the web browser knows, "hello world" is just hardcoded there.
You'll need to look into AJAX for how to make it work.  Check out this beginners' tutorial on using jQuery for ajax: http://www.devirtuoso.com/2009/07/beginners-guide-to-using-ajax-with-jquery/

A: Define a global variable

Now keep on changing variable employee whenever it is changed
print them

A: If you're in a PHP loop -- it does looks like you are, since -- you can use PHP to define the parameter to be passed into getdata() in your loop; e.g.

<?php
foreach ($loopData as $row) {
    print 'print them';
}
?>

Words by Nirav Doshi
One of the most perpetually anticipated and elusive artists of the last 25 years, André 3000 has managed to build a legacy in hip-hop that not many of his peers have been able to attain. Through his remarkable chemistry with Big Boi in Outkast, the pair defied expectations and boundaries to make the music that was most interesting to them. Outside of Outkast though, André was able to attract his own mass following; more and more people were clocking on to how monumental of a wordsmith he was. This meant more features, and it was some of these features that reinforced his reputation today as one of raps most gifted geniuses. Of these features was Sixteen; a Rick Ross track (2012), widely regarded as one of 3000s best feature of all time, where André just venomously delivered rhyme after rhyme, thought after thought for 2 minutes, in addition to singing the hook. However, it is his features that have been delivered in the last five years that have elevated Andre's reputation to another level, and have cemented his significant relevance within Hip-Hop permanently.
An artist who is able to move in and out of the public eye, but still has the capability to receive the utmost unwavering love and attention from their core fans, is an artist whose legacy is securely intact. This is André 3000, and as a fan, to have the same feeling about an artist from the very first time hearing them to now, is something very unique. The same can be said about Frank Ocean, and it was on Ocean's critically acclaimed Blonde that 3000 delivered a riveting solo minute fifteen feature. With an infectious flow, and delivering multiple double entendres, André Benjamin discusses the breakdown of the industry through Frank's eyes on Solo (Reprise), and this track remains one of the standouts from Blonde. As expected, hearing 3000s voice caused mass pandemonium amongst fans, with many left wanting more. In typical André 3000 fashion, nothing was said from him about this feature, and he returned to the elusive cave he had been residing in. He would make his return to the Hip-Hop fold a few months later in 2016, delivering two phenomenal features on Kid Cudi's Passion, Pain and Demon Slayin; but it wasn't until September 2017, when Travis Scott released Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight that the world would once again be in awe at an André 3000 guest verse, just as it was a year prior. After the ends with Travis, it became very clear that André 3000 was now just simply rapping for fun. He is in no competitive state of mind when it comes to rapping anymore, yet he is still able to out-rap most of the competition in the rap game right now.
But it is this very thing that has seen the light never flicker on André 3000 – the fact that he has been inactive in the scene for so long, but yet, every now and then, can deliver a verse that your favourite rapper never could. Even this year, in 2019, appearing on Ventura by Anderson .Paak and Assume Form by James Blake, he is still able to cast his accomplished skills as a lyricist. He's taken such a unique approach in increasing his unquestionable legacy within the realm of hip-hop, whether that be intentionally or not. There are many OG rappers in the game that are attempting to cement their legacy by continuing to release projects and doing a load of features etc, and whilst no disrespect to those artists, the way André 3000 has been moving over recent years (rarely delivering any music) and the fact that there is still so much attention placed on him whenever he appears on someone's album, goes to show just how well-regarded he is within the culture of hip-hop, and how the Hip-Hop audience has really gravitated to this mysterious, enigmatic character that André 3000 has inadvertently created for himself.


A new report spotlights a common practice where corporations that commit wrongdoing and agree to financial settlements with the federal government go on to claim such settlement payments as tax-deductible business expenses.
The "fiscal cliff" is perhaps the biggest political issue of the moment.
ATLANTA, December 6th – With Congress scrambling to agree on ways to reduce the deficit, Georgia PIRG pointed out a clear first step to avoid the "fiscal cliff": closing offshore tax loopholes. Many of America's largest corporations and wealthiest individuals use accounting gimmicks to shift profits made in America to offshore tax havens, where they pay little to no taxes. This tax avoidance costs the federal government $150 billion in tax revenue each year. Georgia PIRG released new data illustrating the size of this loss with 16 dramatic ways $150 billion could be spent.
