The bar that time forgot
A couple of years ago, Forbes ranked America's drunkest cities. We were 12th. Not bad. But we beat out every other American metropolitan area in one category: heavy drinkers. What's that mean? We have our fair share of teetotalers and so the rest of us have to make up for it. I decided to do my part at a little, obscure bar on North Flores and Commerce. The sign on the large, glass windows said Reyes Bar & Sons Since 1946. I was already impressed (partially because of the date and partially because of the odd wording).
The swinging front doors offered entrance to a great San Antonio dive (and I've been to my share — we have dives the same way that New York has art galleries). The single large room boasted an old wooden bar 20 feet long that, if tipped on its end, might reach the wooden ceiling. I sidled up, noticing the sign that read, "favor de no poner sus pies en las sillas," the updated version of "no spitting on the walls or floors." The owner's mother, who tended the bar, told me that she had Bud, Bud Light, and Miller Lite. Feet planted firmly on the ground, I ordered (eeny, meeny, miny, moe) a couple of Bud Lights, and, after eyeballing the antique cash register on the counter behind the bar, asked for a receipt. She laughed. "No," she said. "You want a receipt for $3.50?" I decided for that much I didn't much care.
I hunkered down at one of the 10 small, formica-topped tables and surveyed the sparse interior. Three narrow pillars did nothing to break up the enormous room. The bottom half of the stucco walls barely held a thin wood finish while the brown paint on the upper half cracked and peeled. Near the industrial steel sink in the corner (you have to wash your hands somewhere after emerging from the courtyard bathroom's screen door) hung a bare lightbulb, which was supplemented by a couple of fluorescent lights over the bar. In the constant gloaming, the regulars murmured and laughed as the obviously anachronistic (that is, brand-new) jukebox played Tejano and light Spanish pop.
Reyes is not for the fainthearted (or the chronically employed, as they "open late and close early" `noonish to sixish, Monday through Friday`), but then again, what great dive is? We few must persist and engage in necessary — no, winsome — evils wherever and whenever we can.

Mesmerising multi colour danglers are smartly crafted from alloy and studded maroon, juniper and white stones. It can be put on with the western as well as ethnic wear. One must do try them. It's a special piece for the special occasion like weddings, engagements or festive.


Lord Shrikrishna is revered by a vast majority of Indians as a seer of human values, a preacher, protector of good and destroyer of the evil. To profile the person of a deity held on par with Gods and who lived with humans, sported with them and shared their agony and vicissitudes, Suffice to say, Lord Shrikrishna revealed himself for the sake of establishing "Dharma" when humanity was undergoing a tough and critical phase.
This narration is authentic, but not bland. It is precise, forceful and piquant. Authenticity being the soul of his narration, naturally it has a great impact on our mind as it churns it with its emotional impact as result of evidence re-viewed by historical events in support of the particular moves of the Lord. The thought provoking explanations by the author leave a lasting emotional impact on the reader's mind.
Late Prof. Anant Damodar Athavale (Swami Varadananda Bharati) was born on the auspicious day of Anantchaturdashi, Shake 1842 (20th October 1920), He was Ayurvidya Parangat. He retired as the Principal of Tilak Ayurveda College and Dean of Ayurveda Rasashala, both at Pune. The poet-saint Shri. Dasaganu Maharaja was his Gurudeva and was like a father figure to him. Shri. Athavale has built a Samadhi Mandir in memory of his Gurudeva at Gorte in Nanded District.
Prof. Athavale was a multifaceted saintly personality who contributed a great deal to the society through more than 50 books on Religion and Ayurveda written by him, prominent amongst which are the critiques on the Upanishds, Brahmasutras, Bhagwad Gita, Manusmriti, Astanga Sangraha and Vyadhivinishchaya. He practiced the Vedic Dharma in letter and spirit by following the four Ashramas in life. After twelve years of Sanyasashrama, at the age of 82, on 5 September 2002, he voluntarily gave himself up to the Lord by way of Yogic Samadhi.
Mr. Prabhakar S.Sabnis was born on 27 September 1924 in the small town of Yeole in Maharashtra. He was a Masters in the English language. He served as a teacher of the English language in various colleges during his career. A prolific writer, he completed several of his literary translation works. Prominent among them include, Shatakachi Vatchal by Dr. V.R. Karandikar, explaining the 100 year history of the Ramakrishna Math and Bhagwan Shrikrishna: Ek Darshan by the Late Prof. Anant Damodar Athavale (Swami Varadananda Bharati).
After my retirement from Indian Civil Service. I came to Pune and settled down here. I came to know thereafter, Late Professor Anant Damodar Athavale as both of us were interested in the life of Lord Shrikrishna and his teachings. In 1970, he wrote a work entitled Wahabharatache Vastava Darshan (A True Vision of the Mahabharata) in Marathi language and he criticised those scholars who have applied logical and purificatory tests for discovery of the original tracts. In my work on the Origin and Growth of Mahabharata, I have made use of the critical edition of the Mahabharata brought out by Dr. V. S. Sukhtankar of the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute and of the critical edition of the Gita by Dr. S. K. Belwalkara. In his above mentioned work, Dr. Athavale has also based his work on these critical editions and recorded his differences of opinion on them. In the true version of the Mahabharata, Dr. Athavale has refuted the views based on the so—called logical and intellectual tests of Smt. Durga Bhagwat, Smt. Iravati Karve, Dr. S. K. Pendse, Dr. Bhagvata, Shri. Shirvadkar, etc. who have applied their logical and purificatory tests for discovering the original works.
The biography of Lord Shrikrishna is indeed multifaceted. As Swamiji says, the more one studies the life of Lord Shrikrishna. The more facets of his personalities are seen. In this book, Swamiji has described the political facet of Lord Shrikrishna's personality. If Swamiji were to give utmost importance to the details, then it would have been difficult to put a full stop to his writing. The focal point of Lord Shrikrishna's politics encompassed the world at large. The political moves made by Lord Shrikrishna for the benefit of the society, nation and world, ignoring the power, selfishness and competition which form part of personal life, at times derogating these facets, have proved to be a benchmark. I also appreciate the comparison drawn by Swamiji between the politics of Lord Shrikrishna and those of Napoleon, Alexander, Churchill, etc.
I have had the pleasure of reading the composition of Swami Varadananda Bharati (Dr. Anant Damodar Athavale before he renounced the world) named "Shrikrishnakathamrut", which I enjoyed tremendously. I have the greatest respect for this literature, thoughts of Swamiji. I have also liked "Bhagwan Shrikrishna: Ek Darshan" in Marathi language, of which this is the translation, which is a lucid commentary on the political facet of Lord Shrikrishna's multidimensional personality, in which he has described the notable actions of Shrikrishna in a flowing powerful language after going through similar historical incidents. In concluding this work, Professor Athavale has stated that he did not think that his discussion would satisfy an atheist who denies the authority of the Vedas and of the existence of a Supreme Ruler and that he has not penned his work with that view; but he will be satisfied if it will help a believer to counteract the reasoning of the non—believers; and was confident that it will enable believer to refute the arguments of a non—believer and prevent the distraction of mind (buddhibheda) of a person not acquainted with Lord Shrikrishna's teachings.
It is difficult to render the teachings of Late Prof. Athavale in flowing English, but Late Shri. Sabnis has performed this task with ability. It is really creditable for Smt. Sabnis and her talented daughter Netra to have preserved this work. I also congratulate Mrs. Kalyani Namjoshi, Ms. Aditi Chirmule and Late Prof. Athavale's son, Shri. Mahesh Athavale to present this work to the public. When Netra came and saw me and told me that her mother desired that I should to present this work to the public, readily agreed. In this small Foreword, appreciating the views of Late Professor Athavale, I strongly recommend this work to the general public.
This is a profile of Lord Shrikrishna, the exponent of the universally revered 'Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta', showing a vision of a perfect being who stands apart from all others, the hero of the Mahabharata, about which the lord of literature, Shri M.C. Kelkar once made a glowing reference to the effect that in the event of his going into seclusion, he would carry with him no other book of reference except the Mahabharata.
Lord Shrikrishna is a seer of values in human life; a preacher of philosophy, a protector of the good and a destroyer of the evil. In a sense his biography is multidimensional — viewed from any angle, extremely intricate and mysterious, almost impossible to comprehend through the medium of words. It would only unfold a feeling of intense affection and a spirit of dedication. This extra- ordinary personality revealed itself for the sake of establishing the rule of 'Dharma'.
Leaving aside a period of approximately 2,500 years, the period of seven to eight thousand years, prior to this is a period of glorious history of Indian tradition, of fervent religious growth, of prosperity, happiness and auspiciousness. It stands as a testimony to the saying "Kmnvant0 Vishwa, Maryam" making the whole world more civilised & cultured human being. That 'Dharma' is the backbone of the life of a human being has been proved beyond a doubt. Not only this, it has also proved that the incarnations of God are solely for the establishment of 'Dharma'. In portraying this particular profile of Lord Shrikrishna, eternal religion beyond religion and non—religion, has been deliberately highlighted. Supreme justice beyond justice and injustice has been explicitly made clear with appropriate illustrations. Eternal truth in place of broad truth & untruth has been adequately expressed. Moreover, certain seeming inconsistencies otherwise felt in the biography of Lord Shrikrishna have been clarified coherently.
Those who desire to do social service and those who feel intensely about Indian values and those who have interest in politics for the welfare of the country should read & deeply introspect over this book "Lord Shrikrishna - A Revered Politician". Really speaking everyone who happens to be in the seat of power must read this account as it projects an ideal to be followed and emulated.

By Jocelyn Drew Sep 27, 2018 0 comments
Get cozy and plug your earbuds in. Whether you're getting through a grueling commute, killing time at the laundromat or pushing through the last leg of your workout, podcasts are the new wave of streaming. Enter Carrie Murray and Julia Giaimo, the empowering and entertaining women behind the up-and-coming podcast, We're The Ladies.
With a new episode each week, Carrie and Julia dive into relatable topics from the latest in entertainment and finding a work-life balance, to trending headlines and global events. From the comfort of their own couch, these Brooklyn-based millennials offer real, lighthearted conversations that make listeners feel like they are in their living room with them, wine in hand.
Vivacious, strong and witty, We're The Ladies is the much needed down-to-earth podcast you need to add to your playlist.
Life With The Ladies
Q: For first time listeners, what can they expect from listening to the We're The Ladies podcast?
A: Really whatever we feel like talking about that day, it varies based on current events and our lives! We like to keep it as in the moment as we can.
Q: What was the inspiration for starting We're The Ladies, and how do you see the podcast evolving?
A: We're both active podcast listeners and thought it would be fun to do it ourselves, and create an audience in a new way. Regarding the evolution of We're the Ladies—we're taking it week by week. Lately we are trying to involve our listeners more by having them submit questions that we can answer each episode.
Q: What do you love about podcasts, and how do you feel they allow you to communicate with audiences differently than other social platforms?
A: We both like listening to podcasts because it's another form of entertainment that allow us to get lost in a story. To be honest, on our end it feels less personal because we are essentially talking to each other in our apartment, but to our listeners, it's more personal and it's like they are talking to friends.
Q: How do you both practice self care and why is it important while juggling 9 to 5 jobs in addition to multiple side passions?
A: We've always prided ourselves on creating a really cozy and comfortable home (we're roommates) to come back to after long days of work and life, and we think that's a super important foundation to have.
Q: As boss babes, what advice do you have for young women who are trying to create their successes and find their own voice?
A: Do what you WANT to do. Instead of "success" being the goal, make your own personal happiness a goal and the main priority.

Q: Regex to extract initials from Name eg. if the Name is: John Deer
the Initials should be: JD

I can use substrings to perform this check on the Initials field, but wondering if I can write a regular expression for it? And is writing a regular expression a better idea than doing it using strings methods?

A: This is my approach:
public static string GetInitials(string names) {
    // Extract the first character out of each block of non-whitespace
    // exept name suffixes, e.g. Jr., III. The number of initials is not limited.
    return Regex.Replace(names, @"(?i)(?:^|\s|-)+([^\s-])[^\s-]*(?:(?:\s+)(?:the\s+)?(?:jr|sr|II|2nd|III|3rd|IV|4th)\.?$)?", "$1").ToUpper();
}

Handled cases:
// Mason Zhwiti                               -> MZ
// mason zhwiti                               -> MZ
// Mason G Zhwiti                             -> MGZ
// Mason G. Zhwiti                            -> MGZ
// John Queue Public                          -> JQP
// John-Queue Public                          -> JQP
// John Q. Public, Jr.                        -> JQP
// John Q Public Jr.                          -> JQP
// John Q Public Jr                           -> JQP
// John Q Public Jraroslav                    -> JQPJ
// Thurston Howell III                        -> TH
// Thurston Howell, III                       -> TH
// Thurston Howell the III                    -> TH
// Malcolm X                                  -> MX
// A Ron                                      -> AR
// A A Ron                                    -> AAR
// Madonna                                    -> M
// Chris O'Donnell                            -> CO
// Chris O' Donnell                           -> COD
// Malcolm McDowell                           -> MM
// Éric Ígor                                  -> ÉÍ
// 행운의 복숭아                               -> 행복

Not handled cases:
// James Henry George Michael III the second  -> JHGMIts
// Robert "Rocky" Balboa, Sr.                 -> R"B
// 1Bobby 2Tables                             -> 12 (is it a real name?)

A: Here is my solution. My goal was not to provide the simplest solution, but one that can take a variety of (sometimes weird) name formats, and generate the best guess at a first and last name initial (or in the case of mononymous people) a single initial.
I also tried to write it in a way that is relatively international-friendly, with unicode regexes, although I don't have any experience in generating initials for many kinds of foreign names (e.g. Chinese), though it should at least generate something usable to represent the person, in under two characters. For example, feeding it a name in Korean like "행운의 복숭아" will yield 행복 as you might have expected (although perhaps that is not right way to do it in Korean culture).
/// <summary>
/// Given a person's first and last name, we'll make our best guess to extract up to two initials, hopefully
/// representing their first and last name, skipping any middle initials, Jr/Sr/III suffixes, etc. The letters
/// will be returned together in ALL CAPS, e.g. "TW".
///
/// The way it parses names for many common styles:
///
/// Mason Zhwiti                -> MZ
/// mason lowercase zhwiti      -> MZ
/// Mason G Zhwiti              -> MZ
/// Mason G. Zhwiti             -> MZ
/// John Queue Public           -> JP
/// John Q. Public, Jr.         -> JP
/// John Q Public Jr.           -> JP
/// Thurston Howell III         -> TH
/// Thurston Howell, III        -> TH
/// Malcolm X                   -> MX
/// A Ron                       -> AR
/// A A Ron                     -> AR
/// Madonna                     -> M
/// Chris O'Donnell             -> CO
/// Malcolm McDowell            -> MM
/// Robert "Rocky" Balboa, Sr.  -> RB
/// 1Bobby 2Tables              -> BT
/// Éric Ígor                   -> ÉÍ
/// 행운의 복숭아                 -> 행복
///
/// </summary>
/// <param name="name">The full name of a person.</param>
/// <returns>One to two uppercase initials, without punctuation.</returns>
public static string ExtractInitialsFromName(string name)
{
    // first remove all: punctuation, separator chars, control chars, and numbers (unicode style regexes)
    string initials = Regex.Replace(name, @"[\p{P}\p{S}\p{C}\p{N}]+", "");

    // Replacing all possible whitespace/separator characters (unicode style), with a single, regular ascii space.
    initials = Regex.Replace(initials, @"\p{Z}+", " ");

    // Remove all Sr, Jr, I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX at the end of names
    initials = Regex.Replace(initials.Trim(), @"\s+(?:[JS]R|I{1,3}|I[VX]|VI{0,3})$", "", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

    // Extract up to 2 initials from the remaining cleaned name.
    initials = Regex.Replace(initials, @"^(\p{L})[^\s]*(?:\s+(?:\p{L}+\s+(?=\p{L}))?(?:(\p{L})\p{L}*)?)?$", "$1$2").Trim();

    if (initials.Length > 2)
    {
        // Worst case scenario, everything failed, just grab the first two letters of what we have left.
        initials = initials.Substring(0, 2);
    }

    return initials.ToUpperInvariant();
}

A: Personally, I prefer this Regex
Regex initials = new Regex(@"(\b[a-zA-Z])[a-zA-Z]* ?");
string init = initials.Replace(nameString, "$1");
//Init = "JD"

That takes care of initials, and whitespace removal (thats the ' ?' at the end there).
The only thing you have to worry about are titles and puctuation like Jr. or Sr., or Mrs....etc etc.  Some people do include those in their full names

A: How about this?
var initials = Regex.Replace( "John Deer", "[^A-Z]", "" );

A: Here's an alternative with an emphasis on keeping it simple:
    /// <summary>
    /// Get initials from the supplied names string.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="names">Names separated by whitespace</param>
    /// <param name="separator">Separator between initials (e.g "", "." or ". ")</param>
    /// <returns>Upper case initials (with separators in between)</returns>
    public static string GetInitials(string names, string separator)
    {
        // Extract the first character out of each block of non-whitespace
        Regex extractInitials = new Regex(@"\s*([^\s])[^\s]*\s*");
        return extractInitials.Replace(names, "$1" + separator).ToUpper();
    }

There is a question of what to do if the supplied names aren't as expected. Personally I think it should just return the first character from each chunk of text that isn't whitespace. E.g:
1Steve 2Chambers               => 12
harold mcDonald                => HM
David O'Leary                  => DO
David O' Leary                 => DOL
Ronnie "the rocket" O'Sullivan => R"RO

There will be those who'd argue for more sophisticated/complex techniques (e.g. to handle the last one better) but IMO this is really a data cleansing issue.

A: try this one
(^| )([^ ])([^ ])*','\2')

or this one
 public static string ToInitials(this string str)
    {
      return Regex.Replace(str, @"^(?'b'\w)\w*,\s*(?'a'\w)\w*$|^(?'a'\w)\w*\s*(?'b'\w)\w*$", "${a}${b}", RegexOptions.Singleline)
    }

http://www.kewney.com/posts/software-development/using-regular-expressions-to-get-initials-from-a-string-in-c-sharp

A: [a-z]+[a-z]+\b which will net you The first two letters of each name...
where name = 'Greg Henry' = 'G H' or 'James Smith' 'J S'
Then you can split on ' ' and join on ''
This even works on names like
'James Henry George Michael' = 'J H G M'
'James Henry George Michael III the second' = 'J H G M III'
If you want to avoid the split utilize [a-z]+[a-z]+\b ?
But then names like Jon Michael Jr. The 3rd will be = JMJr.T3 where as the above option allows you to get 'The', 'the' and '3rd' if you wanted ..
If you really wanted to be fancy you could use the (\b[a-zA-Z])[a-zA-Z]* ? to match just the parts of the name and then replace with the former.

A: How about this:
        string name = "John Clark MacDonald";
        var parts = name.Split(' ');
        string initials = "";

        foreach (var part in parts)
        {
            initials += Regex.Match(part, "[A-Z]");
            Console.WriteLine(part + " --> " + Regex.Match(part,"[A-Z]"));
        }
        Console.WriteLine("Final initials: " + initials);
        Console.ReadKey();

This allows for optional middle names, and works for multiple capitalizations, as shown above.

A: My solution below(C# regex dialect)
^\s*(?>(?<First>\w)\w*).*?((?<Last>\w)\w*)?\s*$

Will match in the named groups First and Last the first letter of the first word and the first later of the last word respectively, happy ignoring all the words that may be in between and not caring if there are trailing or leading spaces
No replace are needed, the match occurs in one line and you can extract the letter accessing the matching group by name like this
var displayName = "Nick 'Goose' Bradshaw";
var initialsRule = new Regex(@"^\s*(?>(?<First>\w)\w*).*?((?<Last>\w)\w*)?\s*$");
var matches = initialsRule.Match(displayName);
var initials = $"{matches.Groups["First"].Value}{matches.Groups["Last"].Value}";
//initials: "NB"

A: Simplest version in kotlin
val initials: String = if (str.size > 1) str[0][0].toString() + str[1][0].toString() else str[0][0].toString()

A: Yes, use a regex. You can use the Regex.Match and Regex.Match.Groups methods to find matches and then to extract the matching values you need - the initials in this case. Finding and extracting values will happen at the same time.

This section is located on the Mediterranean coast of the Nile Delta, an eco-region denominated "Deltaic Mediterranean Coast". The area is included in the coastal belt arid province, characterized by a mild winter and a hot summer. It is under the maritime influence of the Mediterranean Sea, with rainfall of more than 100 mm/year and an attenuated dry period.
It comprises a zone of arid land between the Mediterranean Sea to the northwest, intensive coastal development, farmlands and Lake Edku. The Abu Qir area in the eastern part of this sector is less interesting in biodiversity due to the numerous human disturbing and polluting activities that have highly affected the coastal zone.
The area also represents a unique meeting point for biological elements from three biogeographical regions: the Mediterranean (extending along the coastal zone), the Saharo-Sindian (relicts isolated in the sand dunes) and the Afro-tropical (extending northwards along the Nile Valley). The most significant habitats in the area are Saharan, represented by isolated relict populations of species cut off from their main range thousands of years ago.
The area of Alexandria is not of particular interest in terms of biodiversity. The Abu Qir area, in the western part of this sector, is highly disturbed and polluted (Sarwat, 2005), while the rest is fairly disturbed. Fragments of natural habitats still remain along the coast and between the patches of reclaimed land, particularly in the Edku area. The habitats of this landscape are likely to have considerable significance for biodiversity as they represent long isolated relicts of Saharan origin, with several locally divergent elements.
A survey of the main terrestrial habitats was conducted by Entec during July 1998, with a dedicated survey of the beach area being conducted by ER Egypt in August 2000 (ERM, 2001). A survey of the Abu Qir area was conducted by Sarwat (2005).
One species of amphibian, namely the Nile Delta Toad (Bufo kassasii) is endemic to the lower Nile Valley and Delta. The species is widespread in the area and has been found at Lake Edku, Rosetta, and numerous rice fields, drains and irrigation canals, and other areas with standing freshwater. Other common species include the Square-marked Toad (Bufo regularis) and the Mascarene Frog (Ptychadena mascareniensis), found in drains and irrigation canals.

تقع المنطقة داخل الإقليم الجاف للحزام الساحلي وتتميز بشتاء معتدل وصيف حار. وتقع تحت التأثير البحري للبحر المتوسط مع سقوط أمطار تصل إلى أكثر من 100 مم/عام وفترة جفاف خفيفة.
وتتضمن منطقة يابسة جافة بين البحر المتوسط تجاه الشمال الغربي والتنمية الساحلية المكثفة والأراضي الزراعية وبحيرة إدكو.. تعد منطقة أبو قير في الجزء الشرقي من هذا القطاع أقل أهمية من ناحية التنوع الحيوي نتيجة لعديد من أنشطة الإنسان والأنشطة الملوثة التي أثرت على المنطقة الساحلية بشكل كبير.
كما تمثل المنطقة نقطة إلتقاء متميزة للعناصر الحيوية من ثلاث مناطق بيولوجية جغرافية: البحر المتوسط (الممتد بطول المنطقة الساحلية) منطقة سنديان الصحراوية "Saharo-Sindian " (بقايا معزولة في الكثبان الرملية) والمنطقة الإستوائية الأفريقية (ممتدة شمالاً بطول وادي النيل).
لا تحظى منطقة الإسكندرية باهتمام خاص فيما يتعلق بالتنوع الحيوي. أما منطقة أبو قير في الجزء الغربي من هذا القطاع فهي تعاني من الخلل والتلوث بنسبة عالية (Sarwat, 2005)، بينما تعاني باقي المناطق من خلل بنسب أقل. ولايزال هناك بقايا من الموائل الطبيعية بطول الساحل وبين قطع الأراضي المستصلحة، خاصة منطقة إدكو. فالموائل في هذه المناظر الطبيعية لها بالأرجح تأثير هام على التنوع الحيوي حيث أنها تمثل مناطق نباتية طويلة معزولة من الصحراء الأصلية مع عديد من العناصر المتنوعة محلياً.
أجرى مكتب استشارات "Entec" /آب عملية مسح على الموائل البرية الأساسية في يوليو/تموز 1998 وفي أغسطس 2000 قامت شركة "ER Egypt" بعمل مسح خاص لمنطقة الشاطئ (ERM,2001). وقام (Sarwat, 2005) بعمل مسح على منطقة أبو قير.
يوجد نوع برمائيات واحد هو ضفدع دلتا النيل (Bufo kassasii) وهو مستوطن في جنوب وادي نهر النيل والدلتا. ينتشر النوع على مدى واسع في المنطقة وعثر عليه في بحيرة أدكو ورشيد والعديد من حقول الأرز والمصبات وقنوات الري ومناطق أخرى تحتوي على مياه عذبة راكدة. كما توجد أنواع شائعة أخرى عند المصبات وقنوات الري مثل الضفدع الطيني (Bufo regularis) والجزاع أبو خطين (Ptychadena mascareniensis).

FORT WAYNE – The Pharmacy Program at Manchester University is the first in the nation to receive an American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) award that honors commitment to diversity and inclusivity.
The inaugural Outstanding Commitment in Health Disparities and Cultural Competence Award was presented July 23 at the Pharmacy Education annual meeting in Boston by an AACP special interest group that supports culturally and linguistically appropriate patient-centered care.
Manchester has one of the most diverse pharmacy programs in Indiana, Ohio and Michigan, and its students get special training and do service among underserved populations – including people with limited English skills and of diverse cultural backgrounds.
The Pharmacy Program promotes a service learning philosophy and requires students to do service each year in order to progress into the next professional year. The orientation service event this year is 2-4 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 2, with about 250 people in a dozen locations in the Fort Wayne area.
The northeast Indiana program welcomes diversity in its various forms and definitions. The program's Values Statement lists diversity as a core value "... because understanding differences develops respect for ethnic, cultural, and religious pluralism; an international consciousness; and an appreciation for the infinite worth of every person."
Manchester offers a four-year doctoral program that leads to a Doctor of Pharmacy degree (Pharm.D.). The program makes its home on Manchester's Fort Wayne campus, 10627 Diebold Road. It also offers a one-year on-campus and online Master of Science degree in pharmacogenomics, as well as a dual degree in both pharmacy and pharmacogenomics. Pharmacogenomics uses an individual's genetic markers to customize and maximize their medication therapy.
To support the Manchester mission of graduating people with "ability and conviction who draw upon their education and faith to lead principled, productive, and compassionate lives that improve the human condition," visit www.manchester.edu and click on Make a Gift, email giving@manchester.edu or call the Advancement Office at 260-982-5218.

Physical Description Lucy isn't very tall, has shoulder length brown hair and blue. She is average build.
General Overview Lucy is a friendly, positive and spontaneous person. She isn't afraid to speak her mind and is positive in the most of grim situations.
Loves British and Dutch literature, and listens to 21st century pop & rock music.
Interested in Japanese Manga and anime.
Personal History Lucy is the first born child of Henri and Mary. She was born in Marseilles in France, but grew up in Paris. She was raised both Dutch and French, as her father was of Dutch descend.
Her mother was a history teacher at a local high school, her father was a language professor at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University.
As a young child she she was always interested in American and British television series and movies from Earth's 21st century.She would love to watch them in their original language. And even though she was a happy child. She didn't have much friends. But it was a conscious choice she made. She didn't like crowds, so what would she need with a lot of friends. And not because she wasn't likable either. Her friendly and spontaneous personality could have gotten her a lot more friends.
In High school she took on Spanish and Latin as extra languages, and chose history and geography. She also did biology because of her Latin.
Upon graduation she chose to enter Sorbonne Nouvelle University to study languages. Additional she took advanced classes in Spanish and Latin, and added Vietnamese, Japanese and Mandarin Chinese to her list.
And if she didn't had enough classes already, she went on to do history, geography and biology in advanced classes.
She was always focused on her studies and didn't need any friends. Most of her primary and high school friends had already moved on as they weren't so interested in what she was doing and so they grew apart. Something Lucy really regretted later.
Eager to learn more languages, she decided the university couldn't offer her more. So she joined starfleet.
Because of her studies and her quest for knowledge, she didn't have time to make a lot of friends. She hoped to make some in starfleet. She did an officers course and studied two new languages, Klingon and Vulcan. She had a bit harder time studying those languages. But as stubborn as she was, she stuck to it till she got it right.
Still focused on her studies, she still found it hard to make friends. She spend a lot of time with her instructors or with her homework. Before her graduation it all started to gnaw on her a little, that she didn't have much friends, even now that she joined starfleet, she still couldn't make time for herself to make them. And she missed having them.
After her graduation she requested to join the Hades, a frontline battle, to help in the war effort. She didn't know if could get it or not. But to her own surprise she was accepted. She decided she would not spend so much time on work and would start making friends.

Active Archive Alliance Names Rich Gadomski and Betsy Doughty Co-Chairpersons of the Board
Posted on Tuesday, January 19th, 2021 at 8:30 am.
BOULDER, Colo.—January 19, 2021—The Active Archive Alliance today announced that Rich Gadomski, head of tape evangelism at FUJIFILM Recording Media U.S.A., Inc., and Betsy Doughty, vice president of corporate marketing at Spectra Logic, have been elected to serve as Co-Chairpersons of the Board of Directors for the Active Archive Alliance. Gadomski and Doughty have been fully engaged with the Active Archive Alliance since the early days of its inception more than 10 years ago. They succeed Peter Faulhaber, who led the organization for the past six years and recently transitioned to a new role as FUJIFILM Corporation's General Manager for Business Development and Creation in Europe.
"Active archives are more relevant today than when we founded the Alliance a decade ago as users place increasing value on unstructured data for creating time to market advantage, research and development, and business intelligence," said Doughty. "It has been a privilege to serve alongside Peter on the board, and we thank him for his inspired leadership and support. We are also eager to continue the Active Archive Alliance's momentum and drive to educate end-users and facilitate the implementation of active archive solutions to solve today's data growth challenges."
Active archiving enables organizations to gain value from retained data quickly. As archival and unstructured data volumes proliferate, organizations worldwide are deploying active archives to unlock the value of their previously untapped data. Efficient and cost-effective, active archives leverage an intelligent data management layer to allow fast access to archival data across a virtual file system and manage data between storage systems and media types.
As highlighted in the 2020 Active Archive State of the Industry report, active archive solutions support a wide variety of vertical markets and applications. These include media and entertainment, healthcare, telecommunications, financial, security, utilities, life sciences, high-res media, rich data streaming, the internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), data lakes, and surveillance, among others.
"Over the past decade, the Active Archive Alliance has brought together the best of breed technologies to help organizations manage the complexities of massive data volumes and realize far greater value and usability of their data," said Gadomski. "Betsy and I look forward to building on the legacy of strong leadership that came before us as we support the adoption of active archives as an integral component of today's digital transformation strategies."
"It has been an honor to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Active Archive Alliance for the past six years and witness the concept of active archiving evolve to become a strategic imperative to manage rapidly growing volumes of data intelligently," said Faulhaber. "I look forward to watching the Alliance continue its valuable role within the storage and data management industry."

Q: How do I set a TextBlock to a property value? I used this tutorial to build a custom control. Now, I'd like to add a simple message (a textblock) to the user control to give the user some guidance. I think I can add a public property, like FileName in the tutorial, but how do I wire up the textblock's Text property to the property in the code behind? And then make sure the textblock message updates if the property changes.
I like the idea of being able to set the message in code, via a property, because I will likely have multiple controls of this custom control type on a page. I'm just a bit stumped on wiring it up.
Thanks!

A: This would be your code behind, which implements INotifyPropertyChanged:
/// <summary>
/// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class MainWindow : Window, INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

    private string _fileName;

    /// <summary>
    /// Get/Set the FileName property. Raises property changed event.
    /// </summary>
    public string FileName
    {
        get { return _fileName; }
        set
        {
            if (_fileName != value)
            {
                _fileName = value;

                RaisePropertyChanged("FileName");
            }
        }
    }

    public MainWindow()
    {
        DataContext = this;
        FileName = "Testing.txt";
    }

    private void RaisePropertyChanged(string propertyName)
    {
        if (PropertyChanged != null)
        {
            PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
        }
    }
}

This would be your XAML that binds to the property:
<TextBlock Text="{Binding FileName}" />

EDIT:
Added DataContext = this; i don't normally bind to the code behind (I use MVVM).

Jer 36
The Scroll Read in the Temple 1In the fourth year of King Jehoiakim son of Josiah of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord:2Take a scroll and write on it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel and Judah and all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah until today.3It may be that when the house of Judah hears of all the disasters that I intend to do to them, all of them may turn from their evil ways, so that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.4Then Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote on a scroll at Jeremiah's dictation all the words of the Lord that he had spoken to him.5And Jeremiah ordered Baruch, saying, "I am prevented from entering the house of the Lord;6so you go yourself, and on a fast day in the hearing of the people in the Lord's house you shall read the words of the Lord from the scroll that you have written at my dictation. You shall read them also in the hearing of all the people of Judah who come up from their towns.7It may be that their plea will come before the Lord, and that all of them will turn from their evil ways, for great is the anger and wrath that the Lord has pronounced against this people."8And Baruch son of Neriah did all that the prophet Jeremiah ordered him about reading from the scroll the words of the Lord in the Lord's house.9In the fifth year of King Jehoiakim son of Josiah of Judah, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem and all the people who came from the towns of Judah to Jerusalem proclaimed a fast before the Lord.10Then, in the hearing of all the people, Baruch read the words of Jeremiah from the scroll, in the house of the Lord, in the chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan the secretary, which was in the upper court, at the entry of the New Gate of the Lord's house.The Scroll Read in the Palace 11When Micaiah son of Gemariah son of Shaphan heard all the words of the Lord from the scroll,12he went down to the king's house, into the secretary's chamber; and all the officials were sitting there: Elishama the secretary, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the officials.13And Micaiah told them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the scroll in the hearing of the people.14Then all the officials sent Jehudi son of Nethaniah son of Shelemiah son of Cushi to say to Baruch, "Bring the scroll that you read in the hearing of the people, and come." So Baruch son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand and came to them.15And they said to him, "Sit down and read it to us." So Baruch read it to them.16When they heard all the words, they turned to one another in alarm, and said to Baruch, "We certainly must report all these words to the king."17Then they questioned Baruch, "Tell us now, how did you write all these words? Was it at his dictation?"18Baruch answered them, "He dictated all these words to me, and I wrote them with ink on the scroll."19Then the officials said to Baruch, "Go and hide, you and Jeremiah, and let no one know where you are."Jehoiakim Burns the Scroll 20Leaving the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the secretary, they went to the court of the king; and they reported all the words to the king.21Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it from the chamber of Elishama the secretary; and Jehudi read it to the king and all the officials who stood beside the king.22Now the king was sitting in his winter apartment (it was the ninth month), and there was a fire burning in the brazier before him.23As Jehudi read three or four columns, the king would cut them off with a penknife and throw them into the fire in the brazier, until the entire scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.24Yet neither the king, nor any of his servants who heard all these words, was alarmed, nor did they tear their garments.25Even when Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them.26And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king's son and Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel to arrest the secretary Baruch and the prophet Jeremiah. But the Lord hid them.Jeremiah Dictates Another 27Now, after the king had burned the scroll with the words that Baruch wrote at Jeremiah's dictation, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah:28Take another scroll and write on it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which King Jehoiakim of Judah has burned.29And concerning King Jehoiakim of Judah you shall say: Thus says the Lord, You have dared to burn this scroll, saying, Why have you written in it that the king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will cut off from it human beings and animals?30Therefore thus says the Lord concerning King Jehoiakim of Judah: He shall have no one to sit upon the throne of David, and his dead body shall be cast out to the heat by day and the frost by night.31And I will punish him and his offspring and his servants for their iniquity; I will bring on them, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on the people of Judah, all the disasters with which I have threatened them—but they would not listen.32Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to the secretary Baruch son of Neriah, who wrote on it at Jeremiah's dictation all the words of the scroll that King Jehoiakim of Judah had burned in the fire; and many similar words were added to them.

Dona nobis pacem (SSAA & Piano)

Originally composed for solo voice, Dona nobis pacem combines the vocal style of the yoik tradition (a Sami form of song) and a more classical female vocal style. This arrangement for upper voices, as recorded by Cantus on their album Northern Lights, develops this vocal palette further (as does the SATB version also available).
The piano part is supplied alongside chord symbols, which allow a freer approach to accompaniment, and this may also be supplemented by the optional accordion/wind instrument and percussion parts. All the lyrics, except the words 'Dona nobis pacem', are so called yoik syllables with no linguistic meaning (for which a pronunciation guide is included), as used within the Sami yoik tradition.
Fjellheim's distinctive and approachable musical language, which many will recognise from the use of his music at the opening of Disney's Frozen, will appeal to both singers and audience.
Composer's Note
Dona Nobis Pacem started as an idea from the singer Anne Vada, who asked me to contribute to an album she released in 2009. I composed this song by combining the vocal style of the yoik tradition and a more classical female vocal style. On the recording from 2009 the yoik-like part was performed by me, and the classical voice by Anne Vada. Later I developed the composition for both SATB and SSAA choir, and tried to broaden the vocal palette even further. The lower parts could very well be performed in a more folk-like style without too much vibrato, while the upper parts could have a more 'angel-like' quality. The piano and optional accompaniment instruments could be played freely using the chord symbols and notation as a guide. It is possible to perform the song using only a choir and a piano, but then the accordion or wind instrument part should be played by the pianist (at rehearsal mark C). All the lyrics, except the words 'Dona nobis pacem', are so called yoik syllables with no linguistic meaning, as used within the Sámi yoik tradition. The following may be used as a guide:
a – as in 'far'
o – as in 'on'
j – as in 'yes'

Musk launches poll on whether he should quit as Twitter CEO
S7AKTI-PIXABAY
Twitter Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Elon Musk launched a poll on the social media platform on Sunday asking whether he should step down as head of the company, adding that he would abide by the poll results.
The poll is scheduled to close around 1120GMT on Monday although the billionaire did not give details on when he would step down if the poll results said he should.
Replying to one Twitter user's comment on a possible change in CEO, Mr. Musk said "There is no successor."
Mr. Musk told a Delaware court last month that he would reduce his time at Twitter and eventually find a new leader to run the company.
The poll comes after Twitter's Sunday policy update, which prohibited accounts created solely for the purpose of promoting other social media firms and content that contains links or usernames for rival platforms.
Minutes before the poll, Mr. Musk apologized and tweeted "Going forward, there will be a vote for major policy changes."
A few hours later, Twitter started a poll asking users if the platform should have a policy preventing accounts that advertise other social media platforms on Twitter.
The policy update would impact content from social media platforms like Meta Platforms' Facebook and Instagram, along with Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Nostr, and Post while allowing cross-content posting, Twitter support said in a tweet.
Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who recently invested in social media platform Nostr, replied to the Twitter support post with one word: "Why?". In a reply to another user posting aboutthe Nostr promotion ban, Mr. Dorsey said, "doesn't make sense."
Short video-platform TikTok, owned by China's ByteDance Ltd, was not included in the list.
Last week, Twitter disbanded its Trust and Safety Council, a volunteer group formed in 2016 to advise the social media platform on site decisions.
The policy change follows other chaotic actions at Twitter since Elon Musk, who is also the CEO of Tesla, bought the social network. He fired top management and laid off about half of its workforce, while seesawing on how much to charge for subscription service Twitter Blue.
Mr. Musk also suspended the accounts of several journalists over a controversy on publishing public data about the billionaire's plane.
Mr. Musk reinstated the accounts after criticism from government officials, advocacy groups and several journalism organizations on Friday, with some saying the microblogging platform was jeopardizing press freedom. — Reuters

Con Hefernan
When Kilruane MacDonaghs won the All-Ireland club title in 1986 to become the top hurling team in the land, it gave great satisfaction to Con Heffernan, a man who had been the guiding light and the driving force in the club for over thirty years. Con was not only a pioneer of juvenile hurling in the club but also in the division. His selfless dedication and renowned organisational ability helped to lay solid foundations for the development of the club and was an inspiration to successive generations. His death in 1987 severed a link between the early days of the G.A.A. and the modern era. Con was acquainted with the Ninety Eights, the first team to emerge from the parish in the infant days of the G.A.A. He was familiar with members of the legendary De Wets, while he was regarded as a founding father of Kilruane MacDonaghs.
Con was born on April 23rd, 1904 at Behamore, the second of five children to Con Heffernan and Julia Ann Tierney. His father was at that time teaching in Behamore school but transferred to Glenahilty in 1904.The family then went to live in Bantiss outside Cloughjordan.
Con was educated by his father at Glenahilty until 1914 when the family moved to Ardcroney where Con sr. was appointed principal. He finished his primary education in Ardcroney. Having completed formal primary education he continued to study at home until he went to preparatory training school in Mallow around 1922. He then attended the teacher Training College at De La Salle, Waterford, from 1924 to 1926, when he qualified.
His first teaching post was at Nenagh C.B.S. where he taught for three or four years. He taught for a short a short time in Portlaoise but returned to Ardcroney to take up an appointment as principal in 1930, when his father died suddenly in March of that year. Con remained as principal in Ardcroney until he retired in 1967.
He was elected secretary and treasurer of the Kilruane MacDonaghs club in 1932 and he held both positions until he retired in 1963. During his term of office MacDonaghs won three North senior hurling titles, four North junior championships, a North minor title and a county intermediate title. Con was also vice-chairman of the North Board in 1936.
He will be forever associated with the revival in the 1940s of the rural schools hurling competition which had fallen on evil days due to the non-observance of the rules. Brother T.V. Hutton contacted all rural schools in Tipperary by letter. From North Tipperary he received three replies. Borrisoleigh, Dromakeenan and Ardcroney were willing to help. The first tentative steps in rekindling interest in juvenile hurling had been taken. Con was at the forefront of that revival, taking on the position of secretary of the newly formed North Tipperary Juvenile Board. In 1944 a parish juvenile team playing under the name of Ardcroney became the first North Tipperary team to inscribe its name on the coveted 'Harty Shield'. Under Con's astute stewardship six North juvenile and three county titles came to the parish.
Con was a noted referee and was in charge of hundreds of matches over many years. His reputation as an upright and fair man earned him the respect of players and spectators. He was in charge of the 1943 county senior final between Eire Og Annacarty and Moycarkey-Borris. In 1947 he had the distinction of refereeing the All-Ireland minor hurling semi-final between Dublin and Galway in Birr. Con also spoke of having refereed the great Mick Mackey in league games. In the North division he was the man in the middle of the senior finals in 1936,1942, 1943,1948 and the intermediate final of 1947.
His passing in 1987 brought to an end a love affair with the G.A.A. which began way back in 1911, when his father took him to a parish league match between Ardcroney and Bantiss in Moylan's field in Ballycapple. Both the Kilruane MacDonaghs club and North Tipperary Bord na nÓg owe an immense debt of gratitude to Con Heffernan.

Lejsturojr är ett gravröse i Rone socken på Gotland, cirka 1 kilometer norr om Ronehamn.

Gravröset, som har en stor krater i mitten, är uppbyggt av gråsten, fyra meter högt och omkring 40 meter i diameter. Ungefär 200 meter sydost om Lejsturojr finns dock ett ännu större röse, 45 meter i diameter och 3,5 meter högt. Båda rösena härrör troligen från äldre bronsåldern. Runt gravarna finns ett omfattande system av boplatslämningar. Norr om Lejsturojr på Lejstuänge och Ajuängar finns två grupper av husgrunder från järnåldern. Från gårdarna löper omfattande system av stensträngar och i väster finns ett mindre område fornåkrar. Omkring 50 meter öster om Lejsturojr finns ett mindre gravfält från järnåldern.

Yes, we were naughty. Despite clear Internet information which border crossing we had to use with pets, we decided on a shortcut. Who wants to drive 200 km extra? And it went smooth again. Laika was sweet and cute (we're thinking about training her to do it on command) and so the border guards only ended up with "Only one dog?" And the way was clear for a new country. Following the recommendation of our new friends to avoid Istanbul as a self-driver, we headed south for the ferry at Canakkale to get across the Bosphorus. Our first night on Turkish soil was unfortunately interrupted early (10 pm), because we had chosen a place to sleep near a historic site of the First World War, in which camping was probably not allowed. Fortunately, the two police officers were very friendly and recommended alternatives along the road. So we just retooled Ernst ready to drive again and off to another place (in pajamas).
There we were noticed the next morning negative again, because it probably concealed a military facility behind the nearby grove, and in the vicinity of such photographs, especially by drone, were prohibited. Unfortunately, there are no maps where the military installations are listed, so it is always a small gamble to bring the flying eye in the air. But these policemen were pleasantly friendly and understanding. To be honest, that did not fit our expectations of Turkey at all. We reckoned with rough people who would show a fundamentally defensive attitude, but everywhere we were greeted by friendliness. Was that not the real Turkey? Was that only because we were traveling in tourist areas? We will see. On the ferry we met Uwe and his wife. The German CTO of a wind energy company gave us a lot of recommendations regarding sights and offered us help on the phone, in case we needed a translation … How much we would need in the future, we could not even imagine. For our little woof, there was nothing better on the crossing than to watch the seagulls sail around and thinking about plucking each feather one by one … but she left it at the thought of it.
The further way to Antalya was lined with ancient places, which we did not really expect here. Partly it was more like what we expected from Greece. With places like Troy and Ephesos, there were even absolute highlights on our route. So beautifully restored and explained in detail, it was easy to imagine wandering the marble floors of the splendid colonnades at that time. You see, this is not just about pure pleasure, but also culture is very important.
Small towns such as Selcuk with its market, which extended over the entire town center, were not safe from us either. Slowly we lost our timidity and started to go shopping on the local markets. It may sound ridiculous, but to farewell the usual, domestic and above all anonymous supermarkets is harder than expected. The last attraction on the road before Antalya was Pamukkale. The ancient city of Hierapolis is built on a small mountain, which produces a calcarous thermal spring and has thus produced all over white sinter terraces on its south side. A natural spectacle, which has also been recognized by UNESCO. It is only barefootly allowed to climb the mountain, which was due to the early hour (we wanted to avoid the Chinese tourist hordes), first, a very cold and second, sometimes very sharp-edged painful pleasure. After all, Laika was allowed with us. We did not expect that much tolerance, but the street dogs did not stop in front of these places, so why lock out a dog on a leash?
With plenty of impressions in the luggage, we rolled on. And again and again this clacking noise from the rear axle … but that won't be bad … will it?

THE Issue Facing American United Methodism
I begin with a one-question quiz. It is multiple choice.
In 25 years the typical American United Methodist of today will be:
A. A registered Democrat
B. Living in Sun City, Arizona
C. Dead
The correct answer is "C." In 25 years demographics and median age declares the average United Methodist living today in the United States will be…dead (me included).
I departed for active duty ministry as a Navy chaplain endorsed by the Southern Illinois Conference in 1977. The year I departed the conference claimed 68,000 members and an attendance of roughly 30,000. When I returned in 2005, 9 years after a merger with the former Central Illinois Conference (that was nearly twice the size as its southern cousin), the merged Illinois Great Rivers conference had lost nearly all of the numbers of the former southern partner. By 2017, the year I retired, the numerical journey to oblivion was complete. The Illinois Great Rivers conference had fewer members and worship attendance than the former Central Illinois conference had 21 years earlier. The numbers added by the former Southern Illinois conference had disappeared without so much as an obituary or a burp.
The issue is not the statistics I have shared. That is a symptom. The issue is that when I returned from the Navy to my conference I was stunned by the lack of urgency in responding to this decline. Everyone had some level of awareness, everyone agreed it was not a good thing, everyone knew something ought to be done, but no top-to-bottom, profound, focused or dramatic change had been implemented to alter a course leading to functional extinction by 2050. The absence of focused urgency mobilized to address the collective challenges facing the US church is the issue far transcending the debate over sexuality.
Three Barriers to Facing Reality
I have noticed three types of responses to this crisis, responses not only in my home conference, but among the 6 other annual conferences in 3 other Jurisdictions where I affiliated while a chaplain. In no particular order, here they are:
The Hezekiah Syndrome – drawn from the sad story in 2 Kings 20. King Hezekiah has a successful reign but late in life steps outside the will of God. The prophet Isaiah confronts him and declares the kingdom will crash during the reign of Hezekiah's son. Outwardly the king coos, "God's will be done," while inwardly he thinks, "Who cares, since there will be peace and security in my time" (2 Kings 20:19). The Hezekiah syndrome knows is one where the pastor, the bishops, the leadership clearly knows the great sucking sound is the future headed down the drain. But the crash will come after retirement benefits have been collected by those currently in charge. Profound change is hard, demanding and too much work, so those best positioned with the power and experience to begin decisive change beg off. Age, physical limitations, hassle and heartache are too great to make it worthwhile. Human nature is prone to inertia in such matters, so change is limited to tweaking the edges, or ploys such as closing a dying congregation and merging the leftovers with another congregation…while declaring the process to be a new church start!
The Agag Syndrome – drawn from the unfunny episode where the prophet Samuel "hewed Agag into pieces before the Lord" (1 Samuel 15:33). This is the merry role assumed by fighting within the church or denomination about this or that. Success gets defined as stopping something. The cross-stitch in the church office reads, "Happiness is a known enemy," and no day is complete without spending spiritual and emotional energy 'rounding up the usual suspects.' They can be liberals, conservatives, promiscuous gays and bigoted straights, Republicans, Democrats, Klingons, whatever. The current ongoing brawl in the denomination over human sexuality is exhibit A. Clearly matters of principle require a firm stand but when nearly every church and pastor engaged in the tussle reflects a church flat-lined or declining in attendance, energy is being misplaced by the system's process for extending rather than resolving the dispute.
The Court Lackey Syndrome – reflected in the incident recorded in Acts 23:3-4, where the High Priest orders Paul illegally smacked during an interrogation, whereupon Paul snaps, "God smack you, you whitewashed wall." Rather than express horror at Paul's unjust treatment, the court lackeys present swoon at Paul's words by saying, "How dare you speak like that about God's High Priest." Here preaching ceases and meddling begins. Many express horror over a possible division within the denomination. Certainly destructive, anger-driven schism does not honor God. Against that, recall this fixed wisdom from organizational theory: "Every institution is perfectly aligned to the results it gets." The U.S. version of results is sustained and accelerating decline, sliding toward oblivion. I am not the least interested in preserving any organization that delivers a consistently and predictably defective product for the Kingdom of God, and neither would John Wesley or the Jesus he and we serve. Setting fire to the system to watch it burn is not the point, but a default setting that seems most to fear upheaval bottles and caps any Spirit-led revival which, precedes authentic reformation. For those horrified of change, consider this line from the great Italian novel, The Leopard: "If you want things to stay the same, things will have to change." Or consider former Army Chief of Staff, General Eric Shinseki, who said, "If you dislike change, you will dislike irrelevance a lot more."
Annual conferences have elected 850 honorable insiders and tasked them to think outside the box for the called General Conference in 2019. Naming and taming the play-it-safe Hezekiah temptation, the Agag impulse and the Court Lackey attitude are crucial to a way forward that truly is forward and not simply steaming safe squares in the vast ocean of religious administrivia.
The main issue remains. How does the US church reclaim life in the face of its increasing romp toward death? The decline is the bitter fruit of the church's wicked problem, a combination of issues that have created an ongoing perfect storm for the faithful laity and clergy who are the heart of the church. Trust deficits, faulty communication, demographics, finances, obsolete personnel preparation and assignment processes, outdated and ineffective organization, inability to offer a shared and measurable definition of the mission of the church (what exactly is a disciple and how does one "make" a disciple), are among expressions of the wicked problem.
None are beyond solution or response. GC 2019 can "shoot the swordsman" as Indiana Jones did in Raiders of the Lost Ark, as a way to move the kerfuffle over sexuality toward the rear-view mirror. What difference does it make to have the 'right' stand on same sex marriage in the church if no church is left standing? Richard Tedlow of Harvard Business School, in his delightful book, Denial, gives it a two-word definition: protective stupidity. Notice how our Presbyterian (PCUSA) colleagues project a 60% loss in membership between 2000-2020 without (as yet) engaging any deep change to shake the institution before its statistical extinction date of 2045. There is time for them, and for us, but honesty about the nature and depth of what the church faces is step one. "There are a hundred ways to put out a fire but denying its existence is not one of them."
So let two versions, or twenty versions of existing United Methodism form as part of the 2019 General Conference. Let the 2020 General Conference be a watershed to focus on spiritual and practical renewal and reformation, top to bottom, with all sacred cows offered for a delegate barbecue on the first day. We can walk with wisdom and foresight into profound change or let consequences and reactions push, kick and smack us into thought-less change that does no honor to God nor bring healing to a floundering system. In Philippians 3 Paul offered a list of what he gave up, lost, and surrendered and the richness of life in Christ gained as a result. Wise change, deep and pervasive, Spirit-led and Scripturally sound is the way forward. The need is…urgent.
