E.W. McCall, SBC leader of 'vision,' dies
Baptist Press leadership, NAAF, obituary
By David Roach
E.W. McCall
GRAPEVINE, Texas (BP) — E.W. McCall Sr., an African American Southern Baptist leader and champion of Sunday School, died April 19. He was 79.
Beginning in 1970, McCall pastored St. Stephen Missionary Baptist Church in La Puente, California for 37 years. During that time the congregation grew from 35 members meeting in a house to more than 4,000 members. Under his leadership, the church developed ministries to the community for children and youth, addressed the needs of the homeless population, and ministered to senior adults.
In 1993, McCall helped found the National African American Fellowship of the Southern Baptist Convention, a group that now represents some 4,000 predominantly black congregations.
McCall was "a man of vision and courage to start a fellowship" of black Southern Baptist churches, NAAF President Marshal Ausberry said. "We stand on his shoulders and [those of] men of his era that were bold to be part of the Southern Baptist Convention."
For the past nine years, McCall served as an African American ministry specialist with the Southern Baptist of Texas Convention.
Within Southern Baptist life, McCall was active in leadership at all levels.
He was elected SBC second vice president in 2002. McCall also served on the SBC Committee on Committees and became the first African American to chair the board of trustees at Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary (now Gateway Seminary).
On the state level, McCall served as first vice president of the California Southern Baptist Convention and was a longtime trustee at California Baptist University. Within his local Los Angeles Southern Baptist Association, he served as moderator, among other leadership roles.
A former public school teacher, McCall emphasized education and made Sunday School a hallmark of his ministry. St. Stephen's Sunday School had grown to 1,000 in attendance by 1995, Baptist Press reported at the time. He wrote and taught extensively on Sunday School throughout the SBC.
Emmanuel McCall, a Home Mission Board liaison to black churches from 1968-91 and of no relation to E.W. McCall, remembered E.W. McCall as "totally committed to the SBC," including the convention's Sunday School methods and materials.
"He was a great Sunday School man and worked very closely with the Sunday School Board," Emmanuel McCall said. "His church was always in competition [for] the largest Sunday School [among] African American churches in the SBC."
Born Elijah W. McCall, he was the son of an Arkansas preacher and moved from the South to California in 1962, angry about racial discrimination, the San Gabriel Valley (Calif.) Tribune reported in 1995. McCall considered joining the civil rights movement but instead went into teaching and then the pastorate.
"When I came to California, I had this seething rage within me, but God turned and tilted it toward the Kingdom," McCall told the Tribune.
McCall received his bachelor of science degree in elementary education at Grambling State University in Louisiana, later teaching for 20 years. He earned his master of divinity and doctor of ministry degrees from American Baptist Seminary of the West and did further studies at UCLA, Long Beach State University, and Fuller Seminary.
In 2013, the SBTC endowed a scholarship for African American master of divinity students at Gateway in honor of McCall.
SBTC executive director Jim Richards remembered McCall as "a giant among us" who was "faithful to the end."
A celebration of McCall's life and legacy was held April 27 at Hillcrest Baptist Church in Cedar Hill, Texas.

I've been trying to get my cat to model on a quilt to make up a banner. Unfortunately, much as Perdie loves quilts, she hates cameras. I tried today, I really did. Set her on a quilt, she jumps off. I decide to put the quilt on the front lawn to photograph it (I'll be showing that soon), come back upstairs to hang out a window, and there she is on another quilt! Who cares that the lighting isn't right, I have the camera aimed and ready!
"Nope, still not looking at you"
Grumpy face: "Fine, I'll look at that thing for you, but I'm not going to be cute".
The quilt is one I made a few years ago. It was made as a sample for Fiddlesticks Fabrics. I wanted to negate the very floral effect of the fabric by using a very square and plain design. I then tried to soften the effect by using spirals to quilt it. It was the first time I've used spirals and I really enjoyed both the quilting and how it turned out.
I've tried sizing up my photos - please let me know what you think!
Photos look wonderful and your uncooperative cat model cracks me up. I like you thinking to use the sharp rectangular shape to break up the floral mood of the fabric, I think it works nicely!
Photo sizes look great. Clearly she likes pink, and clearly she does NOT like the black thing pointed at her (sounds familiar-my one dog and my cat feel the same). Just love her grumpy, let's get this over with expression! That quilt is a beauty, wow.

Beth & Dan are one of those couples that are just so fun to work with (after all... Beth's favorite part of the day was portraits... amazing!). They're a little quirky (which I love), and their intimate Priestley Savidge House wedding was the perfect setting and the perfect wedding day surrounded by their closest family and friends. Beth & Dan chose to do a first look to get some of their portraits out of the way early in the day so they could sit back and enjoy some of cocktail hour with their guests. One of my favorite parts of the day was the ceremony! Beth wrote all of their vows which she also gave to Dan during their first look. So special and so unique and such a great way to incorporate who they are into every aspect of their day. Everyone knows I love a good tent wedding, and Priestley Savidge house is a beautiful venue in downtown Northumberland with manicured grounds in a picturesque gated yard. Dan looks at Beth in a way that radiates his love for her (sorry Dan, it's the truth), and I truly wish them so many years of happiness in the future (and some babies since they both love children!). Enjoy this glimpse into their day.

Het Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE), opgericht door het Amerikaanse Huis van Afgevaardigden in maart 2008, is een onafhankelijke, niet-partijgebonden entiteit die belast is met de controle van beschuldigingen van wangedrag en corruptie van leden van het Huis van Afgevaardigden en hun personeel en, indien van toepassing, dit naar buiten brengen en rapporteren aan de United States House Committee on Ethics (HEC).

Tijdens een stemming in januari 2017 stemde de meerderheid van de Republikeinse Partij in het Huis van Afgevaardigden dat OCE niet langer onafhankelijk zal zijn en onderdeel wordt van het United States House Committee on Ethics (HEC). Het HEC staat op zijn beurt weer onder controle van de Republikeinse partijleiding. De naam van het OCE zou tevens worden gewijzigd in het Office of Congressional Complaint Review. Minder dan 24 uur later kwamen de Republikeinen terug van hun besluit, na aanhoudende kritiek van zowel Democraten als Republikeinen, onder wie president-elect Donald Trump.

How old is Humpty Dumpty?
The invariable sneezing and falling down in modern English versions have given would-be origin finders the opportunity to say that the rhyme dates back to the Great Plague.
A rosy rash, they allege, was a symptom of the plague, and posies of herbs were carried as protection and to ward off the smell of the disease..
The BBC insisted the nursery rhyme was not modified due to its target audience and said it had only been changed for 'creative' purposes. But Tom Harris, the Labour MP for Glasgow South, called the alteration 'ridiculous'. 'Kids should be exposed to real life a bit, not cosseted away,' he said.
Humpty Dumpty was actually a large cannon that fell off a castle parapet and shattered "all the Kings horses and all the Kings men couldn't put Humpty together again" . That is the actual meaning to this rhyme . Travis.
How did it end? The most popular theory of how the plague ended is through the implementation of quarantines. The uninfected would typically remain in their homes and only leave when it was necessary, while those who could afford to do so would leave the more densely populated areas and live in greater isolation.
It's not even like it's implicitly suggested. There's nothing in there about eggs. When the Beastie Boys, in their song Egg Man (Paul's Boutique, 1989) delivered the striking couplet "Humpty Dumpty was a big fat egg / He was playing the wall then he broke his leg" they were speaking purely in conjecture.
It's false. Humpty Dumpty was the name of a cannon used by English Royalists in the English Civil War of 1642-1649. … So how did we come to know Humpty Dumpty as an egg? Apparently on a whim, a 19th-century illustrator in Lewis Caroll's "Through the Looking Glass" depicted Humpty Dumpty as an egg.
Some say Humpty Dumpty is a sly allusion to King Richard III, whose brutal 26-month reign ended with his death in the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. In this speculative version, King Richard III's horse was supposedly called "Wall," off of which he fell during battle.
[refers to the rosie-red (or purple-ish) round rash marks on the skin —one of the first signs a person had the plague] A pocket full of posies; [one of the superstitious ways used by people in the Middle Ages to try and fend off the plague was to stuff their pockets with posies (flowers)]
According to several war historians, the original Humpty Dumpty was not an egg, not a chicken, not a man but a CANNON. Yep. A large cannon which is believed to have been used in English Civil War (1642-1649), specifically, in the 1648 Siege of Colchester. … Once a cannon, now an egg, forever a popular nursery rhyme.
The story given was that a large cannon, which the website claimed was colloquially called Humpty Dumpty, was strategically placed on the wall. A shot from a Parliamentary cannon succeeded in damaging the wall beneath Humpty Dumpty, which caused the cannon to tumble to the ground.
(ˈhʌmptɪ) n. (Furniture) Brit a low padded seat; pouffe. [C20: from humpty hunchbacked, perhaps influenced by Humpty Dumpty (nursery rhyme)]
MaleHumpty DumptyGenderMaleOccupationRed Rook❖ Relationships ❖Friend(s)Alice3 more rows
FitzGerald states emphatically that this rhyme arose from the Great Plague, an outbreak of pneumonic plague that affected London in the year 1665: Ring-a-Ring-a-Roses is all about the Great Plague; the apparent whimsy being a foil for one of London's most atavistic dreads (thanks to the Black Death).
JACK AND JILL (1765) One of the most common theories surrounding the story's origin is that it's about France's Louis XVI and his wife, Marie Antoinette, who were both found guilty of treason and subsequently beheaded.
The rhyme was first printed in 1810 and became famous through Lewis Caroll's book, 'Alice Through the Looking Glass', where Humpty Dumpty is shown as a round egg. However, it is a very old rhyme and goes back much earlier than this.

Bonkers over conkers
PUB regulars are returning to their playground antics to keep them entertained during the winter months.
Drinkers at the Farmers Arms have taken up conker fighting to find out whose is the hardest when it comes to the crunch.
The pub team have developed a serious interest in the sport and have issued a challenge to their rivals in the town.
Tough talking Alan Ramsbottom is the man to beat and is happy to take on the most bullet proof of examples from the Horse Chestnut tree.
He declined to offer his secret formula but recalled a conk-test with another pub, the Portway in Wythenshawe, earlier this month.
"There must have been 50 of us all in the vault, it was packed," said Alan.
"It can get quite fiery, and one fight had to be stopped because one conker was taking far too much punishment."
Insiders say the 'cheeser', a conker with a slight edge, is the best for battles while others believe slightly longer strings can bring success to the smallest of participants.
You can contact the pub on 01625 532443 for further details.

Netflix and the media stock meltdown
Netflix and the Media Stock Meltdown By Colin Cieszynski, CFA, CMT, CFTe, Chief Market Strategist, CMC Markets This week, many of the major media companies have sold off steeply as traders reacted negatively to their earnings reports. In particular, softer than expected sales have overshadowed better than expected earnings. The negative impact of the stronger USD Dollar and the potential loss of subscribers from traditional media sources to streaming services such as Netflix, appears to have really spooked traders this week. Two days ago, the negative reaction to Walt Disney's earnings report sparked a sector wide selloff that continued today with Viacom and 21st Century Fox taking the biggest hits. The chart below shows how Disney broke its 50-day average and has been falling toward its 200-day average. Looking at the performance of the group over the last year, the chart below shows how Netflix has gone from underperforming the sector through the last part of 2015, to increasingly outperforming through 2015. The big question, now, however, is whether Netflix can continue to outperform, or if it could potentially fall back to Earth. Over the last week, while traditional media stocks have been tumbling, Netflix has been on a roll, rising over 13% while many of its more established competitors have posted losses of 10% or more. An old adage of the market is that valuation is related to growth and that high multiples can be supported by high growth rates (as long as they last). One measure that can be used to compare valuation and growth is the P/E to earnings growth ratio, the last line on the table. Most of the majors in the sector studies have a ratio between 0.5 and 2.0 (with 1.0 being the par level) while Netflix has a ratio above 14. In other words, Netflix shares appear to be very expensive relative to other companies in its group and potentially vulnerable. This means that it really needs to keep up its growth to justify its share price but could be in trouble if the company stumbles. Last quarter, Netflix only met expectations on sales and missed on earnings but that was ignored by the street in favour of its growth potential, making it increasingly vulnerable if the company ever fails to meet very inflated expectations. NetFlix shares may already be close to reaching their limits. The daily chart below shows that although the shares have continued to make new highs since April, these have not been confirmed by the RSI indicator. A growing negative divergence reflects slowing upward momentum. Also, in the last few weeks, the shares have moved above their longer term rising channel suggesting they may be getting ahead of themselves. The short term chart below also suggests the shares may be getting tired. After a gap up through $120.00 earlier in the week, the shares have been consolidating between $122.00 and $129.00, unable to proceed much further. An overbought RSI suggests the shares may be due for a pause and a correction possible If the shares fail to hold above the circle $120.00 to $122.00 support zone, a correction would be underway that could drop back to retest the former channel resistance line near $113.00. A gap through the circled zone would create an island top and potentially trap some of the bulls offside. Netflix shares have had a strong run in recent months on growing speculation that the service could eat its competitors' lunch. They have reached a point, however, where they appear to be getting really overheated increasing the potential that inflated valuations and expectations could come back to haunt them.

Azurocidin 1 (cationic antimicrobial protein 37)is a multifunctional inflammatory mediator causing an increase of vascular permeability [review].
Due to its localization to atherosclerotic plaques and its ability to modulate smooth muscle cells, CAP37 may play a role in the progression of this disease.
Secretion of CAP37, a neutrophil granule protein accumulating on the endothelial cell surface and promoting arrest of monocytes, could contribute to the recruitment of monocytes at inflammatory loci.
Azurophil granules, specialized lysosomes of the neutrophil, contain at least 10 proteins implicated in the killing of microorganisms. The protein encoded by this gene is an azurophil granule antibiotic protein, with monocyte chemotactic and antibacterial activity. It is also an important multifunctional inflammatory mediator. This encoded protein is a member of the serine protease gene family but it is not a serine proteinase, because the active site serine and histidine residues are replaced. The genes encoding this protein, neutrophil elastase 2, and proteinase 3 are in a cluster located at chromosome 19pter. All 3 genes are expressed coordinately and their protein products are packaged together into azurophil granules during neutrophil differentiation.

Understanding The French Language & Providing Professional French Interpreters, Translators and Transcriptionists
American Language Services (AML-Global) understands the importance of working in the French language. For over a Quarter of a Century, American Language Services has worked with the French language as well as hundreds of others from around the world. We offer comprehensive language services 24 hours, 7 days a week worldwide by providing French interpreting, translation and transcriptions services along with hundreds of other languages and dialects. Our linguists are native speakers and writers who are screened, credentialed, certified, field tested and experienced in a number of specific industry settings. The French language is unique and has very specific origins and characteristics.
The Spread of the French Language
French is spoken all over the world from Europe, Africa, and Asia to the Pacific and the Americas. Along with Spanish, French is also a romance language. Most native speakers of the language live in France where the language originated. The romanticism engraved in this language has awakened the interests of many nations to learn it. It is an official language in 29 countries and the official language of all United Nations agencies and a large number of international organizations. This community of French-speaking nations is called La Francophonie by the French. This language is the third most spoken second language in the Union, second to English and German. In addition, prior to the ascension of English in the early 20th century, French served as the preeminent language of diplomacy among European and colonial powers. According to the Constitution of France, French has been the official language since 1992. France mandates the use of French in official government publications, public education outside of specific cases and legal contracts. French is the official language in Belgium, one of four official languages in Switzerland, an official language in Italy, Luxembourg, The Channel Islands, the America and all over the world. A majority of the world's French-speaking population lives in Africa. According to the 2007 report by the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie, an estimated 115 million African people spread across 31 francophone African countries can speak French either as a first or second language. French is mostly a second language in Africa, but in some areas it has become a first language, such as in the region of Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire and in Libreville, Gabon. French is a language shared by many cultures and each culture has developed its own dialect in their region.
Origin of French
French originated from the Latin language of the Roman Empire. Its development was also influenced by the native Celtic languages of Roman Gaul and by the Germanic language of the post-Roman Frankish invaders. Before the Roman conquest of what is now modern-day France by Julius Caesar, France was inhabited largely by a Celtic population known as Gauls by the Romans. There were also other linguistic and ethnic groups in France at this time such as Iberians, the Ligures, and Greeks. Although the French often refer to their descent from Gallic ancestors, their language bears few traces of Gaulish. It should be noted that other Gallic words were imported in French through Latin, in particular words for Gallic objects and customs which were new to the Romans and for which there were no equivalent in Latin. Latin quickly became a common language across the entire Gallic region for mercantile, official and educational reasons, yet it should be remembered that this was vulgar Latin.
The Development of the French Language
Although there are many French regional accents, only one version of the language is normally chosen as a model for foreign learners, which has no commonly used special name. French pronunciation follows strict rules based on spelling, but French spelling is often based more on history than phonology. The rules for pronunciation vary between dialects. French is written using the 26 letters of the Latin alphabet, plus five diacritics and the two ligatures oe and ae. French spelling, like English spelling, tends to preserve obsolete pronunciation rules. This is mainly due to extreme phonetic changes since the Old French period, without a corresponding change in spelling. As a result, it is difficult to predict the spelling on the basis of the sound alone. Final consonants are generally silent. French grammar shares several notable features with most other Romance languages. The majority of French words are derived from Vulgar Latin or were constructed from Latin or Greek roots. There are often pairs of words, one form being "popular" (noun) and the other one "savant" (adjective), both originating from Latin. Through the Acad?mie, public education, centuries of official control and the role of media, a unified official French language has been forged, but there remains a great deal of diversity today in terms of regional accents and words. There has been French emigration to the United States, Australia and South America, but the descendants of these immigrants have assimilated to the point that few of them still speak French. In the United States, efforts are ongoing in Louisiana and parts of New England to preserve the language.
Who are You Going to Trust with Your Vital French Language Needs?
The French language is an important language worldwide. It is vital to understand the general nature and specific idiosyncrasies of French. Since 1985, AML-Global has provided outstanding French interpreters, translators and transcriptionsts worldwide.

Motley Crue Guitarist Mick Mars Knocked Over by Fan at Canadian Show
Nova News Team
One Motley Crue fan got a little too friendly with the band during their Saturday night (May 4) concert in Canada. Towards the end of the band's set in Estevan, Saskatchewan, a man jumped onto the stage, banged into guitarist Mick Mars knocking him over and gripped onto singer Vince Neil, reports The Moose Jaw Times Herald. Security quickly removed the man from the stage. Audience member jumps onstage during during recent Motley Crue show.
Motley Crue apparently exited the stage before returning back to finish the set, with Neil telling the audience, "We might be back."
Mars went to Twitter to tell his fans that he's okay and thank them for their concern. His bodyguard, however, is not okay. Here's his tweet regarding the incident:
Thank all of you for your concerns about me being knocked down last night I'm alright nothing broken. My body guard Rhyno got 2 busted ribs
— Mick Mars (@mrmickmars) May 5, 2013
Hopefully both Mars and his bodyguard will fully recover by the time the band opens their two-week residency at the Joint in the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas this fall. The stint, which is their second Las Vegas residency, runs from Sept. 18 through Oct. 6. Bass player Nikki Sixx says to expect "a brand new show that will be unlike anything you've ever seen Motley Crue do before," according to a statement. For more details, head to the band's official website.

Introduced in 2012, the STI Tactical 3.0 fulfills an important part of the 'STI Tactical Family' line of pistols.
Building on the popularity of the 5.0 version, the STI Tactical 3.0 delivers the same high capacity, accuracy, and dependability in a more compact package with an aluminum frame to lighten the pistol even further. The STI Tactical 3.0 is well suited for multiple applications, ranging from police and SWAT teams requiring a back up firearm with a light rail and high capacity, to the individual demanding a high performance pistol with special features for personal protection. The tactical rail milled into the dust cover of the frame accepts all industry standard light mounts.
The STI Tactical 3.0 ships with one magazine.


Previously at Svedja, Siri and Adam got married. Love started working in the Business career and wrote anothe novel about PI Joe. Family Sunday was a disaster with torn up nephews and nieces and a lot of fighting.
Both Family sims acquire a secondary aspiration of Popularity in the process.
Siri reaches the top of the Gaming career and gains 1p, since it was not her LTW.
She immediately quits, to be able to concentrate on her baby wish.
Then Love has enough aspiration points to max out his panel – 3p!
That makes him very happy, so he fills his aspiration panel. 3p!
Her father and brother-in-law are very happy.
She's even happier herself and fills her aspiration panel. 3p!
Irene's father Adam comes home promoted to Game designer, which was his LTW. 2p! Now he wants to become the Educaton Minister.
And that makes him very happy so he maxes his aspiration panel. 3p!
Wow, all kinds of success here this time. Jobs, aspiration panels, babies. Great job!
Wow that was a lot of maxing out aspiration pannels and a lot of success. Nice job, and baby Irene is cute, as always.

public void onClick(View v) {
            Log.d("translatecheck", "I clicked a button");
            String[] isoArr = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.iso);
            Log.d("translatecheck", "isoarr created");
            TextView textElement = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.view);
            Log.d("translatecheck", "textElement initialized");
            //This is where the app cashes
            //Translate translate = TranslateOptions.getDefaultInstance().getService();
            Translate translate = createTranslateService();

            Log.d("translatecheck", "translate service created");
            String sourceLang = "en";
            String targetLang = isoArr[pos];
            TranslateOption srcLang = TranslateOption.sourceLanguage(sourceLang);
            TranslateOption tgtLang = TranslateOption.targetLanguage(targetLang);
            Log.d("translatecheck", "translate service initialized");
            // The text to translate
            editText = findViewById(R.id.edit);
            String text = editText.getText().toString();
            Log.d("translatecheck", "converted edit text to string");
            //Translates some text into spinner language
            Translation translation = translate.translate(text, srcLang, tgtLang);
            /*Translation translation =
                    translate.translate(
                            text,

            */

            Log.d("translatecheck", "we have translated");

            //textElement.setText(translation.toString()); //leave this line to assign a specific text
            textElement.setText(translation.getTranslatedText());

        }

A: You are having a NetworkOnMainThreadException, which means you are running internet related tasks on the main thread.
You can't run internet related tasks on Android Main thread (as for why, see Keeping your app responsive).
Just move whichever translate operation that does internet tasks (presumably translate.translate()) into a new Thread, Async task, or whatever structure you prefer, and listen for the callback for the result.

Technology Spotlight: Energy-Recovery Ventilation Systems
By Alexis Powers and Carol Laurie
Editor's Note: This post is one of a series of technology spotlights that introduces common technologies used in U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon team houses.
Good ventilation is vital for maintaining healthy indoor air quality. Houses built to modern energy efficiency standards, such as U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon competition houses, are tightly constructed to allow very little outside air to leak in. As a result, odors, chemicals, particles, and humidity can become trapped, increasing indoor air pollution.
