Veterans Day: We Support the Troops, But . . .
On October 30, 2018 December 14, 2018 By T. Carlos "Tim" AndersonIn Commentary3 Comments
This post touches upon some of the connections in American society between football, military service, and violence. Special thanks to Vietnam-era veteran Arlin Buyert (USN) for permission to reprint his poems "Big Brother" and "'Oh Say Can You See'."
God bless Mack Brown, the former head football coach at the University of Texas. His sixteen-year tenure exuded victories on the field and classiness off it. He, by all appearances, treated players the right way; there won't be any legit "tell all" books coming out anytime soon exposing a dark side of the Brown era. He shepherded a minority of his players on to the NFL, while maintaining during the last half of his tenure a 70 percent plus graduation rate – pretty good for a major college football program. Part CEO, PR master, and recruiting glad-hander – he eventually was done in by his own success. Longhorn partisans took umbrage at his 30-21 record during the final four years of his reign, and it was time for him to go.
I'm not the only commentator to have noticed the increasingly cozy relationship, in the past few years, between football (major college and professional) and the military. Fighter plane flyovers at the beginning of games have been around for a while, but ceremonies honoring service men and women at games – in large part due to the fact the US military has been at war since 2001 – are now commonplace. The tragic death of Arizona Cardinals football player and US Army Ranger Pat Tillman in 2004 cemented this relationship in our current day. And this relationship is a natural one; scholars have argued for years that football is not only an extension of military combat, but a good substitute for war. [Michael Mandelbaum's The Meaning of Sports, Public Affairs Books (2004) is especially noteworthy.]
Since I live in Austin and pay some attention to football, I heard Mack Brown many years of his tenure proclaim – mostly during rushed twenty-second halftime interviews – "We support the troops," "Thanks to the troops," or "God bless the troops." Yes, yes, and yes. Mack Brown wasn't and isn't the only football coach to say so, conveniently, during the weekend games on or around November 11. But, wait a minute. The troops and their plight deserve much more than passing or canned accolades as the coach runs to the locker room. Coach Brown no doubt meant what he said, but it was also part of the PR recruiting show intended for millions on national TV. How deeply do we support the troops? Numerous veterans hear "Thanks for your service" as the four quickest words of patronization, wondering if the ones uttering said gratitude have the remotest clue about the fragmented shards of a soldier's soul that are ripped out and left for dead in a war zone. As a nation, we are undoubtedly guilty for the way we casually accept war and inadequately treat the PTSD many of the troops develop and bring home as result of combat situations.
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Wood calls attention to PTSD and something else he calls "moral injury" (originally coined by clinical psychiatrist Jonathan Shay working with Vietnam vets some twenty years ago). To be clear: Wood claims, in describing moral injury, that troops in battle have not necessarily committed a wrong. Moral injury "is a relatively new concept that seems to describe what many feel: a sense that their fundamental understanding of right and wrong has been violated, and the grief, numbness or guilt that often ensues." Wood calls moral injury the signature wound that Afghanistan and Iraq veterans deal with – a "bruise on the soul" that has lasting impact on the individual and his or her family.
Arlin Buyert's poem Big Brother, dealing with a war two generations previous, poignantly describes some of the angst and brutal consequence of moral injury.
I was ten years old
when we took Bobbie
to the courthouse in Orange City.
Dad and Mom wept
as he boarded the Greyhound
bound for boot camp.
After graduation, Korea,
Third Infantry Division.
someone else came home:
quiet and brittle as a dead tree,
non-stop Old Gold cigarettes,
quivering fingers, drunk
in his 1949 Ford, in the ditch,
a ditch that held him forever.
Mom cried again,
and again.*
Suicide, tragically, among military personnel (active duty and veterans) is near double the general population rate. Twenty military personnel per day take their own lives, according to 2014 data. Ray Rice, the former NFL running back, was initially given a slap on the wrist for slugging to unconsciousness his then fiancée (now wife) Janay Palmer; later he was both suspended and scapegoated by a league that cashes in on a level of violence, although regulated, raw and primitive. Colleges and universities with football programs have higher rates of sexual assault on campus than those without. Military institutions are plagued with misogyny and the mistreatment of women; both institutions are guilty of not taking proper care of all of their veterans (both use the same term for retired participants) – especially those injured in action. Both institutions target recruits that are young, able, and not yet risk-averse – the pre-frontal cortex in the human brain, inhibiting risk-taking, is not fully developed until the bearer of that young brain reaches twenty-five years of age.
I don't write this piece to ridicule either institution; the military is necessary in a diverse and conflicted world, and football is a loved diversion – and, again – a desired substitute over actual war. If you've not read Chris Hedges's War is a Force That Gives Us Meaning (Public Affairs, 2002), I urge you to do so. Hedges worked as a journalist, covering wars from Central America to the Balkans, and he famously describes war as a drug – potent, lethal, and exhilaratingly addictive. War, he claims, gives us meaningful purpose in a world besieged by seemingly insignificant pursuits. It can be, however, a seductive purpose. "Each generation again responds to war as innocents. Each generation discovers its own disillusionment – often at a terrible price."
Of course we support the troops. Yet in gratitude for their sacrifice and service, perhaps it better we purse our lips, remembering that we have been endowed with two ears and only one mouth. Two ears to listen; two eyes with which to see and better understand the experiences of our fellow brothers and sisters. There are no easy answers. But there are experiences that instruct and inform. We need to pay better attention – Wood's piece on moral injury is must reading.
War has been around a lot longer than football. Whereas football is derived in part from war and its battle scenarios, we risk confusion when we look to football as being instructive or indicative of war. War is not like football, a bigger and badder version. To the contrary, war is burdened with much more gravitas, obviously, than football ever will be. We Americans invest a lot of time, effort, and energy into our teams following their travails and successes. The least we can do to respect the troops: put in just as much if not more time, energy, and effort learning about the realities of war, and how those who fight our wars are affected by them.
"OH SAY CAN YOU SEE"
As preamble to high school basketball games
it felt fine.
As highlight of Memorial Day at cemetery,
it roused my youthful joy.
As crown jewel of Saturday parades in boot camp,
it drummed shivers through my blood.
As "bombs bursting in air" became my bombs bursting a village in Vietnam –
I can sing no more.
I saw too much.*

Gun Nation
On June 28, 2016 July 5, 2016 By T. Carlos "Tim" AndersonIn Commentary2 Comments
America has more guns overall, and more guns per capita, than any other nation. Most estimates claim that Americans own as many guns as there are residents – 320 million. Other nations with higher percentages of gun ownership don't come close to America's dominating rate of 100 guns per 100 residents – Serbia rates at 75; Yemen (54) and Switzerland (46) are next closest. Neighbors Canada and Mexico are estimated, respectively, at rates of 30 and 15. US domestic arms sales have been robust since 2008, but concentrated among a smaller group of owners. Fewer American households today have guns (estimates range from 33-40 percent) than was the case in the early 1970s (50-55 percent). Rural life in America has always been associated with gun ownership; increasing urbanization helps explain the decreasing household gun ownership rate.
In my book Just a Little Bit More I detail the rise of the current era of excess that began in 1980 – more profits for the owner class, greater debt for the working class, more polarization, more inequality. The National Rifle Association's "all or nothing" quest, dating to the mid-1980s – defining any attempt at gun control legislation as an attack on the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights – fits in the same category of excess. The NRA has a legitimate voice in our open democratic society, and can serve to help the society maintain a proper balance as concerns gun rights and restrictions. For many decades since its inception in the late nineteenth century, the NRA has served that purpose. It's more than ironic, however, that the NRA's generation-strong stranglehold on all congressional Republicans and some Democrats enables homegrown hate mongers – Omar Mateen, the latest – to slay fellow Americans with legally purchased assault-style rifles. There are numerous responsible gun owners in America who fully support the Second Amendment and don't see the need for citizens to own AK-47s or AR-15s in order to protect themselves, their families, and their communities.
More is not always better; the plethora of easily accessible weapons in the US simply means that these types of mass-shooting events will continue to occur. Some of these events will be thwarted, yes, by well-meaning and heroic gun owners. But the long list of mass shootings beginning with Columbine in 1999 won't be ending any time soon – as long as this society allows for the status quo to continue.
More than 30,000 Americans die yearly by gun violence; each day more than thirty die by homicide and more than fifty by suicide. Gunfire injures an additional 240 Americans per day. A colleague of mine recently commented that "America is a society addicted to violence." Call of Duty, the best-selling war-based video game, is played by youngsters all across the US. Learning the art of war, unfortunately, is a necessity in our world of disagreements, disputes, and evil intentions. Perpetuating a culture desensitized to violence and killing, however, is not necessary.
Twentieth century Christian theologian Reinhold Niebuhr (credited with writing the Serenity Prayer, used by twelve-step groups) wisely opined concerning human progress: "There is therefore progress in human history; but it is a progress of all human potencies, both for good and evil."
It's a good thing when an armed American woman is able to protect herself from sexual and physical violence from a perpetrator. This current progress wasn't a reality in previous generations. We've made progress in another area, lamentably: the ease by which we can kill one another.
Fratricide is one of the first stories in the Bible – Cain killing his brother Abel. The prominent place given to the story speaks to its universality. Humans will continue to kill one another, acting upon the angst that lurks in our souls. Because of this ever-present angst, human community is a continuing challenge.
Achieving and maintaining balance between self-protection, constitutional rights, and the question of who can possess firearms is the hard work of common good. There are no rights that are unlimited. That's a modern reality in progressive, democratic societies – unlimited rights exist and existed in autocratic and monarchical societies. While politicians in Washington DC are mostly inactive and stymied on the intertwining issues of gun control and gun rights, progress moves forward in communities across the nation. Recent legislation for tighter gun controls in California, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, New Jersey, Maryland, and New York are giving evidence that the NRA is no longer the sole dominant voice in the gun debate at the public square of Gun Nation.
This blog and website are representative of the views expressed in my book Just a Little Bit More: The Culture of Excess and the Fate of the Common Good. Distributed by ACTA Publications (Chicago), JaLBM is available on Amazon as a paperback and an ebook. It's also available on Nook and iBooks/iTunes, and at the website of Blue Ocotillo Publishing.
If you're a member of a faith community – Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, or other – consider a book study series of Just a Little Bit More. The full-length book (257 pgs.) is intended for engaged readers, whereas the Summary Version and Study Guide (52 pgs.) is intended for readers desiring a quick overview of the work. It also contains discussion questions at the end of all eight chapter summaries.
Readers of both books can join together for study, conversation, and subsequent action in support of the common good.
The Spanish version of the Summary Version and Study Guide will be available in September 2016. ¡Que bueno!

The Violence of the Rich
On March 24, 2014 March 28, 2014 By T. Carlos "Tim" AndersonIn Commentary, Excerpts1 Comment
Second article in a series . . .
The great religious systems of the world – and many indigenous regional strains – weave a harmonious montage against greed and materialism. This blog post is the second in a series highlighting religious unity against the type of values seen in the dominant religion of the land: the confluence of commerce, materialism, and consumerism. The following is excerpted from the book, Just a Little Bit More: The Culture of Excess and the Fate of the Common Good, available in May 2014.
Judaism prohibited lending money for interest, called usury. The Hebrew Bible book of Deuteronomy disallowed lending for interest within the Israelite community; outside the community – with foreigners – it was permissible. Usury was prohibited within the community mostly so that the poor would not be exploited by those with money to lend. The financially well-to-do lending to poorer members within the community was seen as a form of philanthropy, ultimately supporting the communal common good. An interesting historical note: most all the competing religious systems and secular codes from the ancient Near East, from which Judaism emerged, did not forbid usury. Israel, a smallish community dwarfed by Egypt, Assyria, and Babylonia, forbade usury most likely to protect and unify a poor community that needed to do all it could to stay together and survive. Demanding interest on a loan to a neighbor was understood to be an act of hostility. The Hebrew word anawim, a plural noun translated "the poor" or "the marginalized," can be understood to have an unexpected antonym: brutality, untamed anger, the violence of the rich. The expected antonym – the rich – is not specific enough; the actions of one group directly affect the state of another within the community. Their fates are united, for better and for worse.

Addendum: "The violence of the rich" is obviously a provocative statement and blog post title. Let's be clear: it's not an indictment to be rich nor is it a sin to enjoy earthly blessings. Expensive items accessible only to a few of us – Mercedes-Benz automobiles, Beaufort Alpage cheese, Thos. Moser furniture – merit higher prices (mostly) due to superior quality and workmanship. High-caliber quality and exceptional workmanship make the world a better place and do not contribute to its demise. What does contribute to the world's demise is the sense of disconnection that can exist between those who are rich and those who are poor.
The religio-cultural system emanating from a small ancient Near East community accentuates the close connection between its richest and poorest members. The Hebrew prophet Micah excoriated the rich of Jerusalem for taking economic advantage of the city's working class, calling their actions "violent" (Micah 6:12). This religious system still speaks an important word of caution to the well-to-do: be aware and active to temper the injustices suffered by the poor. To not do so is an act of indifference that can stray toward violence.

According to what has been reported by Tuttosport today, Juventus may have identified an alternative, if their plans to re-sign Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba fail. Pogba moved to Manchester from Juventus in 2016; for a then-record fee of €105m, still, to this date, the highest fee paid by an English club.
However, Pogba's United future looked in doubt after growing tensions between him and then-head coach Jose Mourinho led to somewhat of a schism within the Red Devils. It looked as though either Mourinho or Pogba would go but, in a fortunate turn for United, it was Mourinho who was shown the door; his replacement Ole Gunnar Solskjaer doing a much better job and elevating Pogba's form tenfold.
If Juventus cannot sign Pogba, because United's demands are too high or if he does not want to leave England, they will instead turn their attention to Olympique Lyonnais midfielder Tanguy Ndombele. Ndombele, 22, continues to impress and Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici is said to be a big fan of the Frenchman.

Science in mind
Report suggests higher pay, better mentoring for postdocs
By Carolyn Y. Johnson Globe Staff,December 10, 2014, 11:07 a.m.
Gary McDowell, a postdoctoral researcher working at the Tufts University lab in Medford, hopes to set up his own lab in a few years. (Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff)
An exhaustive, 120-page national report on the state of scientific postdoctoral researchers urges a range of reforms to ensure that thousands of well-educated scientists do not spend their most creative years in low-paid training for jobs that are in scarce supply.
The report, released last week by three of the most prestigious national organizations in science , engineering, and medicine, suggested postdoctoral researchers should receive higher salaries, better mentoring, and a time limit on how long they can work in those initial jobs.
RELATED: Grants for research get scarcer
Although the authors say the problems facing the workers in the training pipeline have been "gnawing at the research community for decades," they argue that the situation has become more urgent as the number of postdoctoral researchers has increased but the number of faculty jobs has not kept pace.
"Postdocs will rejoice while reading this report, which outlines recommendations that would dramatically improve the training experience of young scientists," Jessica Polka, a postdoctoral researcher at Harvard Medical School, wrote in an e-mail.
A Globe story in October about the issues facing postdocs garnered a large online response, including a Twitter hashtag #lifeafterphd, which scientists used to share their career experiences.
For decades, the training pipeline for scientists has followed an apprenticeship model. Science students who want to pursue an advanced degree attend graduate school. In many fields, the default next step has been a postdoctoral position, in which scientists continue their training before they set up their own laboratories.
RELATED | Opinion: Postdocs in limbo? Expand your options
Two key pressures have begun to turn that last step into a trap. First, the number of trainees far outnumber the faculty jobs they seek. That means many people are spending years treading water in postdoc positions, where they are often treated by their advisers — called principal investigators — less like trainees and more like cheap labor. That trend has occurred as the principal investigators have found themselves in intensive competition for limited research funding, which creates an incentive to build large and highly productive laboratories filled with postdocs who can help produce high-profile findings.
"The notion the postdoc is there to do whatever the principal investigator wants them to needs to be reconsidered. This is a training period for advanced research," said Gregory Petsko, an emeritus professor of biochemistry at Brandeis University who headed the report. "We've gotten into a trap where I think a lot of the values that drove the profession for a long time are being eroded by careerist concerns."
Boston postdocs organized a Future of Research conference this fall to brainstorm solutions to the problems they face. They asked attendees to respond to a survey and many described the problem in their own words, the scientists reported in the journal F1000 Research:
"Postdocs are really hired to produce results, not scientists," one attendee wrote.
"Postdoc pay is low, so [principal investigators] can hire more postdocs to generate more results," another wrote.
The reforms suggested by Petsko and colleagues in the report, a joint effort of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine, echo those that came out of the Boston conference and include:
■ A five-year limit on how long a person can spend working as a postdoc.
■ Introducing a new tier of staff scientists for people who would like to do science but do not wish to start their own laboratories.
■ Introducing a range of career paths starting in the first year of graduate school, to help change the idea that everyone should simply go on to be a postdoc.
■ Better mentoring.
■ Increasing postdoc salaries. The National Institutes of Health pays $42,000 per year for its postdoctoral award, and this amount is often used as the baseline by institutions across the country. The report suggests this should be increased to $50,000 per year.
■ Increasing accountability by collecting data on postdocs and their career outcomes.
Henry Bourne, a professor emeritus at the University of California San Francisco who was not involved in the report and has written about the problems facing the training pipeline, said in an e-mail that the report was "refreshingly candid" but added that the recommendations were unlikely to be successful in altering the landscape.
"I suspect that many scientific leaders and some institutions will applaud this document but promptly work to negate its rules. And they will succeed in doing so, with ridiculous ease. The reason is simple: It is clearly not in the interest of established investigators or their institutions to pay postdocs more and give them good jobs after their so-called 'training,' " Bourne wrote.

Home How to Write an Annotated Bibliography
How to Write an Annotated Bibliography
If you are an undergraduate or pursuing an advanced degree, sooner or later, you will be required to prepare an annotated bibliography. They are an important component of many different fields of study and academic activities. This article will explain exactly what annotated bibliographies are, why they are used, and how to write one.
An annotated bibliography is an organized list of academic resources, such as books, academic papers, or journal articles. However, unlike a standard bibliography, each reference in these types of papers is followed by a paragraph-length annotation, or descriptive and evaluative commentary to assist the reader in understanding the referenced item and its overall value to a field of research. Annotations are sometimes confused with abstracts, which are also 100-200-word descriptions of a source. However, an abstract is intended only to provide a descriptive summary. An annotation, on the other hand, evaluates a source as well, to help the reader gauge its value.
Such works are written for several reasons; here are four of the most common purposes for which you may write one:
Thesis Formulation. A bibliography can assist with identifying and assessing scholarly work done in the field or topic that is a thesis subject.
Research Summary. In some cases, you may be required to perform such work to summarize the research you have done on a particular subject.
Literature Review. Annotated bibliographies are sometimes used as a literature review to summarize current knowledge or research that has been conducted in a certain field.
Define Items of Interest. Sometimes professors, researchers, or other academics prepare bibliographies to note sources that may be of interest to other academics in their particular field.

There are two primary types of bibliographies:
Descriptive (which is sometimes called an informative one) is very similar to an abstract, although it usually is more detailed; it typically contains information about each source's purpose, the conclusions the source reached, methods used to conduct the research and intended audience. However, they do not evaluate the source.
Critical (also called analytical) are the most commonly used type. While this type of bibliography will summarize a source in the same manner as a descriptive one, it will also critically analyze the source as well. They will draw conclusions about the research methodologies that the source used, the results of the research in question, or both.
Now that you have a general understanding of what such works are and why they are used for, let's discuss how to create your very first one.
Step 1: Identify Sources
When you begin to write an annotated bibliography, the first thing you must do is to identify potential sources to include within it. If your university has a research library, that is one of the best places to begin your search. Most research libraries will have a comprehensive online catalog system that will enable you to search for potential sources. Additionally, there are several other online sites and databases you can use to search for sources; these sites include:
JSTOR, an abbreviation of Journal Storage, is a comprehensive database that enables full-text searches of thousands of digitized journals and periodicals, along with books and other texts. It should be one of the first places you look for potential sources.
Google Scholar is a free database that contains hundreds of millions of academic papers, patents, and other texts across all disciplines, so you will definitely want to consider it during your search for good references.
CORE is a database dedicated to open-access research papers. It has aggregated hundreds of millions of these open-access research papers in its database, making them easy to search for and access.
ResearchGate. While you're conducting your search for sources, you should definitely consider using ResearchGate. This site enables you to connect with other academics or scientists who are conducting similar research so that you can share ideas or compare sources.
Bielefeld Academic Search Engine (BASE). Created by Bielefeld University in Germany, BASE is a powerful search engine that will enable you to search for scholarly sources in websites and local data collections.
Lexis Web. If you are writing a paper related to the law or a legal topic, you should definitely consider Lexis Web. Lexis Web is a powerful search engine that will enable you to search for law-related topics and inquiries on the web and in Lexis's own database.
Science.Gov. is a free search engine that enables you to search dozens of federal databases and thousands of federal government websites for papers and data related to federal research.
Microsoft Academic (MA) is a powerful academic search engine offered by Microsoft. It enables you to search for millions of digitized academic articles, texts, conferences, and other scholarly works. This cutting-edge search engine applies semantic inference to your search terms, often delivering superior results when compared to other search engines.
Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) is another online academic database maintained by the US Department of Education. If your piece is covering or includes topics on education, you should definitely consider using ERIC.
Digital History. If your work is going to cover historical topics, then Digital History is worth a look. Digital History is an authoritative database on American history, which enables you to search for millions of scholarly articles and texts related to the subject.
After concluding your search, you will likely find more sources than you could or should include in your work. Once you think you have a sufficient amount of sources on hand to move forward, you will have to determine the best way to narrow the scope of your annotated bibliography, so you can determine which sources to include in it and which to discard.
Step 2: Determine the Scope
Your piece will not be useful to you or anyone else if it is not bound by some sort of logical constraints. In order to ensure that the works you annotate in your paper achieve their purpose, you must determine the scope of the sources that you will include in it. There are many different ways to focus the scope; here are four of the more common methods used:
Time. Some bibliographies establish a time window and only include works published within that period.
Methodology. Research-centric and other technically focused pieces may narrow their scope to include works that used specific research methodologies.
Geography. It may make sense to narrow the scope of an annotated bibliography to include works concerning a given country, state, municipality, or other geographically defined regions.
Source Material. A scope can be limited to certain types of sources; for example, it may only include articles, books, or academic papers.
Sometimes it may make sense to use more than one type of scoping methodology; in other cases, your professors or the assignment may dictate your scope. Once you have decided upon a scope, you will be ready to move on to the next step.
Step 3: Select your Sources
Once you have decided upon your scope, you will be ready to decide which sources to include in it. While your scope will help shape the sources you put into your work, there are other things you should also consider before including or discarding a potential source, such as:
What does this particular source contribute to the field or subject in the scope?
What did this paper, article, or book conclude about the overall topic of the bibliography?
How does this source inform the current understanding of the annotated bibliography's overall topic?
Once you've thoroughly evaluated your potential sources, you will be ready to select the ones you believe are best suited to cite in your work.
Step 4: Write Your Annotations
Finally, once you have selected your sources, you can write an annotation for each source to create your annotated bibliography. In general, you will create your annotations by following these steps:
Cite the source in the bibliography, using either the MLA Style or by following the guidance provided by either your professor or the academic institution you attend.
Describe the sources' main points, point of view, key themes, the research methodology followed, conclusions reached, and the intended audience.
Summarize the author's credentials, expertise, and any bias he/she may have had in writing the text or conducting research.
Explain why the source is useful to the field of study, and briefly compare it to other sources you have included or referenced.
Evaluate the strength of the source or lack thereof.
Don't be shy to ask for help if you need it - our team can create a high-quality annotated bibliography for you.
In general, an annotation should be approximately one paragraph consisting of 5-6 sentences, 100-200 words in total. Try to look at some examples of annotations prior to writing your first annotated bibliography; it will help you better understand the style of writing these types of papers.
Annotated bibliographies are important for advancing academic understanding in your chosen field of study. They will focus your understanding of a particular field; they will also help you share knowledge with others as well. If you follow the steps and advice provided here, you will be fully prepared to conduct your research, narrow your scope, select your sources, write your annotations, and complete your first annotated bibliography as soon as you receive the assignment, so good luck!

All of us need help sometimes. Humbling ourselves to receive that help comes especially hard for some of us. As a broken man, I was enslaved to alcohol and the moral failure that always goes with it. In effect, I had sold my soul like the Prodigal. But by God's grace and taking personal responsibility, I was set free! Praise God!!
Typical of most recovering addicts, I went to treatment, regularly attended support groups and was accountable to a sponsor. I remained tightly involved in the recovery movement and considered becoming a counselor, even earning a Master of Arts Degree in Clinical Christian Counseling in 1998.
After gathering a Board of Directors in 1999, Discovery Group, Inc. was organized. We even opened a Discovery Thrift Store the same year. Quite typical!
I wrote a book in 2005 on the 12 Steps called, Beyond Recovery, Into a Life of Peace and Productivity. At that time, it seemed a unique idea to me, but this was also typical. Since then I have seen dozens of books on the same topic.
I think writing the book was valuable. It has benefitted many others. Mostly, it was cathartic for me. Overcoming the trauma of family, career and financial loss became fertile ground for growing yet another recovery ministry.
For the last 25 years Discovery has partnered with treatment and rehab centers to provide a forward-thinking perspective on recovery. We remain very thankful for these relationships.
Through my own experience, I have observed that addiction recovery programs are designed to get us through a bad time, to offer liberation from addictions. They provide needed help for a season. But they were never intended to become a permanent way of life!
At some point an individual seizes the opportunity, takes the initiative and becomes a producer. We throw off our old identity of enslavement and its mentality and we enter our role as Children of God!
Part of our recovery is not only the liberation from our primary dependencies like drugs, alcohol and habitual behaviors, but also embracing the freedom from dependencies upon temporary programs. Healthy programs are like good parents who rear their children then launch them out like arrows. Psalm 127:4 This understanding is put forth in our current NEXT STEP Seminar.
"Setting Captives Free!" is the motto of many Christian recovery programs. It fits!
He sent the empowering Holy Spirit so that we could live abundant and free!

Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost make their first red carpet appearance in two years
Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost made a rare red carpet appearance together at the American Cinematheque Awards in Beverly Hills on Nov. 18. Scarlett and Colin walked the red carpet arm-in-arm for the glitzy event at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. It's their first major red carpet event in nearly two years, after the couple attended the 2020 Oscars before the coronavirus pandemic. They've since made a virtual appearance at the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards, during which Colin slimed the Avengers actress. For their latest outing, they came dressed to the Nines. She wore a white suit with a top and backless design, while her husband donned a classic black suit. Also, it's their first big in-person event together since getting married last year and welcoming son Cosmo over the summer. "Okay okay we had a baby," Colin shared on social media in August. "His name is Cosmo. We love him very much." It appears the couple left their three-month-old baby at home while they enjoyed a date night.

Inspired by Piet Mondrian's 'Pier and Ocean' painting, we are restoring and developing 30 hectares of new salt marshes on the southern end of Terschelling island in a pattern of dams and poles which are perpendicular to each other. In the unique and innovative nature of the open salt marsh structure, the slurry sinks and 'pioneer' plants will sprout up everywhere. This is a perfect example of how natural and cultural elements can be integrated.
In addition to being home to a rich ecosystem, this area also has salt marshes, which have a high conservation value and high gross and net primary productivity.
The salt marshes will not be accessible to the public, as this would disturb the natural environment and the birds in the area, but people can cycle across the road along these marshes.
A preliminary design called 'Wadland' was created by the landscape architect Bruno Doedens at the 2015 edition of the annual Oerol festival. It was a design with an open structure and strong visual appeal, inspired by Mondrian's 'Pier and Ocean' painting, which represents a labyrinth of perpendicular fences made from the pleated feet of willows. A total of 250 students and volunteers spent five weekends working on the artwork – and this was only a miniature version measuring two hectares.
Created in conjunction with the Directorate-General of Public Works and Water Management, the Terschelling local council, the Province of Friesland, Wetterskip Fryslân and the Forestry Commission.

The inaugural MultiChoice Diski Shield resumes this weekend at Kaizer Sebothelo stadium (Botshabelo) in a soccer extravaganza starting from Saturday 7th till Sunday 8th April. Bloemfontein Celtic reserves are in a group which includes Free State Stars, Cape Town City and Ajax Cape Town.
"Yes; Ajax always gives us problems even when we are leading they tend to come back miraculously but fortunately our players are yearning for a positive results with a very vigorous approach anticipated. We are glad that our products like Kabelo Dlamini and Neo Maema are continuing to do wonders for the first team meaning our coaches are working superbly hence the confidence that with the type of players we are currently having we will compete to win at all costs," concluded Molekwane.
Siwelele will face the Urban Warriors at 10h00.


Rhyming text depicts a day-long walk through a marsh and introduces the plants and animals of a wetland environment. The charming illustrations are appropriately colored and realistically detailed. End notes give more facts and information about wetlands.
The narrator of A Wetland Walk is a careful observer of nature and activities in the world around him. The charming illustrations showcase the plants and animals he sees. In Rosie's Walk the strolling hen is completely oblivious to what is going on in her surroundings. Here the colorful stylized pictures reveal the hazards and happenings all around her. After exploring both books ask each reader to consider what kind of observer he/she would want to be and discuss reasons for responses.

Mediating grounds between the ´smooth´ and ´striated´
Poética de las Aguas
Náutico y Marítimo
Pretext:
The primary intention of this document is to discuss concepts of how societies produce landscapes and structures determining individual space. It attempts to understand the transformation of geographical landscape(experiential and spatial) and how it creates and blurs boundaries, making and unmaking of territories and finally reflecting upon the voyage – a quest to seek identity, to unite experiences in search of meaning. The purpose is not to produce an analytical model, but to carry out a more general discussion to formulate an understanding of socio-architectural interplay based on observations that constitute the body of this document. The narrative is reassessed in light of the spatial/political theory of Deleuze and Guatarri, namely smooth and striated space and others as referenced. To draw an outline; in Chapter 14, "1440: The Smooth and the Striated" in A Thousand Plateaus, Capitalism and Schizophrenia, by G. Deleuze and F. Guattari (1987, U Minn P, Minneapolis), the authors discuss a comparative layout in which the ' Maritime model ' is presented in a tabular form(page 5). The table in this document is a visual explanation of the voyage and recurrent themes in the context of the our work titled 'Providing 'Critical Infrastructure ' for Construction and Cultivation in Western Patagonia: A Floating Workshop for the Interior Seas of Region X', e(ad) PUCV

Sailing upstream to the Colombian highlands in the Amazon and moving further south on land one finds the Atacama desert –a ´place´ constrained by acute scarcity of water, the oldest hyper arid zone in the world, a region exposed to the maximum direct solar radiation and to the most extreme and unexpected weather conditions, equips one with a set of observations to reflect upon. The landscape(s) renders itself into a collage of events in space-time; a temporal dialogue between the seemingly opposite geographical landscapes evoking a very strong sense of spatial interplay- A fusion in parts and a collective memory of spatial anticipation.
The Amazonian memory of the humid aquatic existance is gradually transformed into an arid expanse of Atacama. The changing of geo-climatic landscape invents its own complexity in spatial reading. The abundance of water is not just contrasted with the desert but is read as simultaneous translations, translations of events.
"In the first case, one organizes even the desert; in the second the desert gains and grows; and the two can happen simultaneously. But the de facto mixes do not preclude a de jure, or abstract, distinction between the two spaces. That there is such a distinction is what accounts for the fact that the two spaces do not communicate with each other in the same way: it is the de jure distinction that determines the forms assumed by a given de facto mix and the direction or meaning of the mix (is a smooth space captured, enveloped by a stirated space or does a stirated space dissolve into a smooth space, allow a smooth space to develop?)"

"....................Robert Smithson's legendary fascination with geology and industrial alterations on the earths surface by bulldozers exemplifies this tradition, where he insisted in the necessary dialectic between mining and land reclamation. According to him, the Artist and the miner must become conscious of themselves as natural agents, art becoming a physical resource mediating between the ecologist and the industrialist .When the miner looses consciousness of what he is doing, Smithson explains , he cannot cope with his own inherent nature or external nature.His 1971's wandering canal with Moulds, or his own interest in Robert Morris's proposal for for an Earth Mound exemplify his understanding of the potential of using vast portions of land material support for his sculpture"

As the desert imposes its constraints for human inhabitation and livelihood one finds an element of investigation to extract available resources for human use, hence a productuve landscape, a landscape constantly being shaped and altered. The nomadic settlements ouside the major desert towns gather resources from a seasonal stream of water and cultivate the arid land in the northern part of Atacama. This creates a man made environment conducive to agriculture and cattle farming very different from the Amazonian cattle farmers. The degree to which a cattle farmer exposes his heard is introverted to the extent of harvesting fresh wáter from the condensed fog.
In a very similar context one finds the gold ore extractor in the Amazon basin around rio Madera constantly engaged in changing the bathemetric profile of the river, gradually contributing to a new course or irregular flooding in the monsoon. The villages in this particular strech of the river, infact the total length of the river is engaged in a very different kind of 'interaction' . An interaction that necessitates a particular practice to evolve over time and develop its own tools to thrive. The 'dragas' or artesanal dredgers found in this region redefine the riverine landscape and employ a very different occupation with the river. Thus there is a 'desert logic ' , a 'river logic ' in confrontation to a 'state logic' or a ' plan of action ' to prevent flood or other forms of natural disasters.
The mining industry in the Atacama continually mediates the smooth and the striated, as do the artisanal 'dragas' or a salmon farm in the archipelegos in the South of Chile, but these transformations, irrespective of scale, impact and appeal develop their own resistance to contain the essence of the 'interaction'.
Henri Lefebvre, The Production of Space , In expalining 'diversion' (detournement) states:
"An existing space may outlive its original purpose and the 'raison d'etre' which determines its forms, functions, and structures; it may thus in a sense become vacant, and susceptible of being diverted, reappropriated and put to a use quite different from its initial one."
This can be also seen in the context of how the mining towns in Atacama have completely transformed the geophysical landscape, and to a certain extent can be argued as artefacts constantly being shaped by human activity.

Lewis Carrol's The hunting of the shark – An Agony in 8 Fits and the maritime model of D&G:
In the Maritime Model, D&G write that smooth space is,
"a space of affects, more than one of properties. It is haptic rather than optical perception. Whereas in the striated forms organize a matter, in the smooth materials signal forces and serve as symptoms for them. It is an intensive rather than extensive space, one of distances, not of measures and properties."
(Deleuze and Guittari, 479).
Carrol's map serves as a heuristic device (but never a representation) for the process whereby
"the two spaces in fact exist only in mixture: smooth space is constantly being translated, transversed into a striated space; striated space is constantly being reversed, returned to a smooth space"
(474).
The perimeter of the map is occupied by the striated logos of the compass points, which surround an otherwise blank, or smooth, page. The compass points can be drawn and organized, while the blank space of nomos remains non-representable, expressing the smooth space of the ocean.
The date, 1440, ascribed to smooth and striated spaces, is developed within "The Maritime Model" in which late Medieval/early Renaissance seafaring technology changed the way sailors navigated the seas.
"For the sea is a smooth space par excellence, and yet was the first to encounter the demands of increasingly strict striation"
Bearings and maps with intertwining latitudes and longitudes creating a metric and homogeneous grid striated the formerly smooth space of the forces of sonorous and tactile intensities of noise and winds as forces of magnitude.
If the sea was increasingly demarcated by the sky above and its derivative measurements, the developments of commercial cities, especially by the State, soon followed suit, acting as a territorializing force. The stasis of dwelling, of architecture, becomes crucial, while smooth space in turn changes the dynamics such that
"The dwelling is subordinated to the journey"
D&G continue,
"In contrast to the sea, the city is the striated space par excellence; the sea is a smooth space fundamentally open to striation, and the city is the force of striation that reimparts smooth space, puts it back into operation everywhere, on earth and in the other elements, outside but also inside itself"
The city accomplishes this re-smoothing by developing points of tension and intensity, through sprawl and disjunction. Temporal and spatial movement are defining qualities of the smooth and the striated. Striation allows for a certain predictability and workability within space, while smooth space operates via speed differentials, delays, accelerations, (dis)(re)orientation, variations and so on. Movement here also operates via thinking and the images of thought created through the striated and the smooth.
"To think is to voyage"
(482),
but this movement in conscious experience is not to be conflated with dreams and hallucinations.
D&G employ other models, including the technological model in which striated fabric weaving, especially as used by Plato as a metaphor for the State apparatus, is contrasted with felt as a smooth "anti-fabric", a heterogeneous "entanglement of fibers." The role of the material object is as important here as the process by which it is created.
"For Deleuze, events never happen out of a tabula rasa, but come out of complications, out of the fold; and time occupies a 'complicated' rather than a linear or circular space: it lies at the intersection of multiple lines that can never be disentangled in a single transparent plane given to a fixed external eye."
(Rajchman, 62)
"intensive organizations continually invite external influences within their internal limits so that they might extend their influence through the affiliations they make."

Today, a dredge typically mines between 30 and 70 grams of gold per day, consuming 10 lt of diesel oil per hour. Carrying 10k lt and staying on a spot for over a month. The bigger dredges are towed to a spot by a dedicated tow boat, while I have observed the smaller ones towed by canoes. The boats constitute small enterprises, owned by the miners and tipically a crew of four or five.
(3) Mark Twain began writing Life on the Mississippi in 1879, the same year that Congress consolidated these various efforts into the Lower Mississippi River Basin Commission and granted the Army Corps of Engineers full authority over flood control strategy and construction. Twain commented:
"Ten thousand River Commissions, with the mines of the world at their back cannot tame that lawless stream, cannot curb it or confine it, cannot say to it, 'Go here,' or 'Go there,' and make it obey; but a discreet man will not put these things into spoken words; for the West Point engineers have not their superiors anywhere; they know all that can be known of their abstruse science; and so since they conceive that they can fetter and handcuff that river and boss him, it is but wisdom for the unscientific man to keep still, lie low, and wait till they do it"

2. The first drawing of the Amereida: constructing smooth space within the striated
Deleuze and Guattari distinguish between striated space and smooth space as two different products coexisting, and dialectically related sorts of agency, that reflect two different modes of spatialisation or attitudes towards space, two complimentary logics of space production, or two complementary systems of forces and counter-forces: Striated space as the deterritorialisation produced by the State apparatus, and smooth space as the counteract of re-territorialisation produced by individual nomadic thought and practice.
The Line drawing of the first journey of poets, artists architects and designers across America from Punta Areanas to Santa Cruz marks the very fundamental basis of a travesia-to cross(crossing), a journey(voyage) without a specific reason or destination because it is in the travel one unfolds his learnings, though , discoveries and observations and hence the discovery of people,places and practices. The drawing, being unique and bold, becomes expression of power. In the poem Amereida the drawing marks a significant shift in poetic formulation. In nautical terms ´The first spanish and Portuguese ships of the Enterprise to the Indes crossed the equator and, in so doing, lost the pole star, that guided thier travels and discovered four stars in the shape of a cross – the pole of the other heavens,´The Amereida superimposes on the south American continent to guide the travesias through the interior sea of America – defining the irregular geographic formations heading north to the poetic capital of Santa Cruz. The journey is a two-fold exploration, and it nessiciates a tactile reading of the environment and a haptic experience of the ínterior sea, as one senses the urge of ´poetic marking´guided by the cifra(plotted figures guided by the sky). It is, as such, a physical as well as a mental crossing, in terms of language, which in a travesia connects the subject to the object -´Latin American man to the perception of his physical and cultural heritage – through the mind , whereas the body in the travesia reconnects the subject to the object –Latin American man to the South American continent-experientially, in action.´

For Heidegger space is that which is extended from a location — a location is only such that it belongs to dwelling—therefore space includes a relation to man. He writes,
"Spaces open up by the fact that they are let into the dwelling of man. To say that mortals are is to say that in dwelling they persist through spaces by virtue of their stay among things and locations."
He writes as example,
"When I go toward the door of the lecture hall, I am already there, and I could not go to it at all if I were not such that I am there."
(Heidegger, 107)
The door in this case is a location tied to man, both extensions of each other, optically derived, and the spatial connection between the two is without measurement, quantifiable properties or distance. It is smooth space. Heidegger writes,
"Nearness and remoteness between men and things can become mere distance, mere intervals of intervening space. In a space that is represented purely as spatium, the bridge now appears as a mere something at some position, which can be occupied at any time by something else or replaced by a mere marker."
Mapping space mathematically—with arbitrary three dimensions—creates intervals of space that can be extracted. Heidegger points out that the constructed dimension of this imagined spatial module between things, once extracted,
"contains no spaces and no places,"
(Heidegger, 106) in itself.
Above (1-4) Making a birch bark canoe: traditional methods, tools and materials were employed: birch bark for the skin, wood for the ribs, spruce roots for the thread, and a spruce resin for waterproofing. 4-6 Using materials available near the site and traditional methods, and working without drawings, prototypes were built by members of the Mi'kmaq community and students based on the reconstruction of longhouses. (Architects: Richard Kroecker, Neil Forrest, Francis LaPointe)
In D&G's scheme of the contemporary world, everything is moving. While life is traditionally viewed within a frame of Cartesian scheme of phenomena, composed of distinct objects arranged in space, D&G propose instead a dynamic view of life that emphasis 'becomings', and the fluxes and flows of which all things are made.
Paul Hirst's essay on Defence of Places suggests architects are concerned primarily with sedentary fixedness in (Cartesian) space. They are more interested in the static rather than continuing dynamic of movement and renegotion of boundaries which is the 'reality' of political and 'cyber space' today.

Two-time Olympic Champion Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan dominated the Men's Short Program to leave him poised for his second Grand Prix gold medal this season as the Rostelecom Cup opened Friday in Moscow. Morisi Kvitelashvili of Georgia sits in a surprise second place followed by Sweden's Alexander Majorov as some medal hopefuls faltered.
Hanyu opened his performance to "Otonal" by Raul di Blasio with a big quadruple Salchow and followed up with a triple Axel, a quad toe-triple toe combination and level-four spins and footwork. His numerous fans at the sold out Megasport Arena showered the ice with Winnie-the-Pooh toys and other gifts.
The two-time World Champion earned a season's best with 110.53 points and has a comfortable lead heading into the Free Skating on Saturday.
"I am satisfied with my performance. I can't say it was perfect, especially not the quad toe-triple toe. But I am happy I got a level four for each element and the GOE (grade of execution) for the triple Axel and the quad Salchow was really good," Hanyu said.
"There was not enough time in between the competitions (the two Grand Prix events in Helsinki and Moscow) and I needed to control my training in the last week, which was a little hard," he added.
Kvitelashvili's program to "Bloodstream" by Tokio Myers featured a quad Salchow-triple toeloop combination, a triple Axel and quadruple toeloop as well as two level-four spins. The Georgian skater earned 89.94 points, also a season's best.
"I did everything as planned, but there is still room for improvement and I will continue to work to please the audience. I really enjoy skating in this competition, there is a positive atmosphere that leads to good performances," the 23-year-old said.
Skating to "Bang Bang" by Asaf Avidan, Majorov landed a triple Axel, triple Lutz-triple toeloop. He only put his hand down on the quadruple toeloop and scored 82.33 points.
"I made a small mistake on the quad toe, but all elements were a level four, which was good. I will try to fix the mistake in the long program," Majorov said.
Kazuki Tomono (JPN), who underrotated the quad Salchow, came fourth on 82.26 points. Paul Fentz (GER) follows in fifth (78.28 points) and Alexei Krasnozhon (USA) sits in sixth (75.32 points). Skate Canada silver medalist Keegan Messing (CAN) fell on his underrotated quadruple toeloop and wobbled on the triple Axel to finish seventh (73.83 points). 2018 World bronze medalist Mikhail Kolyada (RUS) popped the planned quad toe into a triple and singled the Axel to place a disappointing eighth (69.10 points).

BT staff yes to action vote
Workers January/February 2021

In what the Communications Workers Union is describing as the most important vote involving its entire BT Group membership since the 1987 national strike, members responded to a consultative ballot on industrial action in defence of job security and terms and conditions with a huge 97.9 per cent yes vote.
Turnout was high too, at 74 per cent. "For a long time BT Group has been claiming that our union does not speak for the employees and that people are happy with the direction of the company," said deputy general secretary Andy Kerr. "This result shows how laughable those claims are and have always been." Kerr said the vote should act as a "reality check" for management – and a last chance to avoid a massive industrial dispute in 2021.
Long-cherished assumptions over job security at BT have been smashed recently by a series of moves to "cease" jobs, including an announcement at the start of December of 28 jobs at risk of compulsory redundancy made provocatively while the consultative ballot was still being held.
In November BT said it would slash redundancy pay from June 2021 for long-serving employees from two years' money to one year's – then sent an email to staff saying that the proposed severance terms had been discussed with the Communications Workers Union and Prospect unions without adding that neither union had agreed to the terms and that both were violently opposed to them.

Burger King's Fer Machado is obsessed with Bill Bernbach, and … White Castle for Valentine's Day?: Trending
The week's biggest moves, hits and misses and newsmakers

A quick look at the week's winners, losers and newsmakers.
Interpublic Group of Cos.' Initiative landed the coveted—and lucrative–T-Mobile media account (now including Sprint), beating incumbents GroupM, Horizon and Publicis.
Cannes organizers drew plenty of backlash—and skepticism—by announcing their intent to hold the event in-person this year. The annual creativity festival (and yacht fest) in the South of France already suffers from an image that it is out of touch, and this announcement did not help matters. "We're not going to send people from Germany and the U.K. to a small enclave of a town to have drinks and do other silly things," one agency holding company exec told Ad Age.
"Schwarzenegger tells it like it is, and being a Hollywood superstar, he does it with flair."—that is how Ad Age's Simon Dumenco describes the former California governor's video statement on the Capitol attacks. The Jan. 11 article was our most-read post of the week. Also drawing lots of eyeballs was news on the aforementioned T-Mobile media review
Tweet of the week
My obsession about Bill Bernbach continues to grow. Keep reading his memos and watching his interviews. Everything feels current. Thx to @DDB_Worldwide, got my hands on the paper "Advertising's Greatest Tool" written in 1961. This is the last paragraph. #Marketing #Advertising pic.twitter.com/9Oqoscz31F

Love and sliders
White Castle is moving its Valentine's Day tableside service outside as the coronavirus pandemic has eliminated in-restaurant dining. Customers who make "Slider Lover's Point" Valentine's Day reservations via OpenTable can get carhop service in a White Castle parking spot while they play in-car games and listen to a curated Spotify playlist. "COVID forced us to re-imagine our annual Valentine's Day event," White Castle VP Jamie Richardson said in a statement. "This creative and safe solution allows us to celebrate a tradition our customers love. We're happy to share that once again, this Valentine's Day, White Castle will become Love Castle."
White Castle has had special Valentine's Day service since 1991. The chain says about 30,000 people dine at a White Castle each Valentine's Day. Diners who prefer to enjoy their sliders at home can get them in a box with a Valentine's Day design.
Number of the week
2,600: Number of real college diplomas Natural Light used to construct what it bills as "most expensive piece of art in the world" in New York's Grand Central Terminal. It's meant to highlight the college debt crisis. (Each diploma cost its bearer an average of $180,000 over four years.) More here.
Beyond yogurt
Chobani unveiled a line of bottled coffee drinks, following on the creamers it introduced in 2020. The coffees are "geared for the passionate coffee drinker looking for cold-press brews who love the added taste of creamers made from farm fresh milk and oat milk," Chobani President and Chief Operating Officer Peter McGuinness said in a statement. The coffee comes in four flavors to start: Cold Brew Pure Black (no sugar, no dairy); Cold Brew with Sweet Creamer and Cold Brew with Vanilla (those two are made with milk); and Cold Brew with Oatmilk.
"This moment is bigger than any brand or any piece of marketing or any customer acquisition strategy, it's just plain bigger," Anomaly partner Jason DeLand, advising brands to tread lightly with marketing around Inauguration Day in a climate filled with political unrest.
Wanted: Hotdoggers
The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, like plenty of experiential marketing, paused for a bit in 2020, though it did return to the road later in the year. Now, Kraft Heinz is accepting applications for its next round of Hotdoggers. The one-year gig, open to college grads with favorable driving records, involves driving across the country in a 27-foot hot dog on wheels to "meat" and greet people at a variety of events. Hotdoggers first spend two weeks at a training session called Hot Dog High. Ad Age got a look inside in 2017 and heard that more than 1,000 people apply annually for the 12 Hotdogger gigs.
