Patrick Pizzella (born May 19, 1954) is an American government official who has served as the 36th United States Deputy Secretary of Labor from April 17, 2018 to January 20, 2021. He was formerly a member of the Federal Labor Relations Authority appointed by President Barack Obama. He held positions in several agencies during four prior Administrations. In 2019, after the resignation of Alexander Acosta, Pizzella served as the acting United States Secretary of Labor for more than 2 months.

Early life and education
Pizzella was born on May 19, 1954. He is a native of New Rochelle, New York. Pizzella is a graduate of Iona Preparatory School. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration from the University of South Carolina.

Career
Pizzella worked as a political field staffer for Ronald Reagan's 1976 campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, then spent four years, from 1977 to 1980, as executive director of right-to-work committees in New Mexico and Delaware.

Reagan administration, 1981–1989
From 1981 to 1982, Pizzella served on the staff of the General Services Administration (GSA), and from 1983 to 1985, he was the special assistant to the Administrator of the GSA. In 1985, he became special assistant to the Associate Deputy Administrator for Management and Administration at the Small Business Administration (SBA). In 1986, Pizzella served as Director of Intergovernmental and Regional Affairs at the SBA.

From 1986 to 1988 he served as Administrator for Management Services, and from 1988 to 1989, he was the Deputy Under Secretary for Management, both at the United States Department of Education (nominated in September 1988, then a recess appointment in November). Pizzella's stay at the Education Department was short-lived, as he and several other conservative Reagan appointees resigned in March 1989, in a move hailed by liberals as a return to "collaborative efforts between the special-interest groups and the Department of Education" following William J. Bennett's tenure. However, Pizzella was not replaced, and his Senate nomination withdrawn, until September 1989.

Federal Housing Finance Board
In 1989, Pizzella was recruited by HUD Director Jack F. Kemp to serve at the new Federal Housing Finance Board (FHFB), created as part of the 1989 savings-and-loan bailout legislation, to oversee the 12 Federal Home Loan Banks and channel some of their profits (as much as $100 million in 1992) into housing programs. Pizzella served first as a  consultant, then for five years (1990–95) as the FHFB's Director of the Office of Administration, the last two years while Bill Clinton was President).

Private sector, 1996–2001
Pizzella worked at Preston Gates Ellis & Rouvelas Meeds LLP as director of coalitions from 1996 to 1997, and as government affairs counselor from 1998 to 2001. Though he worked for lobbyist Jack Abramoff at Preston Gates, he was not among the 21 Abramoff associates who were convicted of or pleaded guilty to wrongdoing in connection with their work. During this time, he contributed to Heritage Foundation policy development on civil service reform.

George W. Bush administration, 2001–09

After the election of George W. Bush in November 2000, Pizzella assisted the presidential transition by serving for several months as Acting Chief of Staff at the United States Office of Personnel Management.

On March 6, 2001, Bush announced his nomination of Pizzella to serve as Assistant Secretary of Labor for Administration and Management at the United States Department of Labor. His nomination was approved without a hearing by the Senate Health Committee, and was confirmed by the Senate on May 9, 2001. He served in this position until January 2009.

Pizzella was designated by President George W. Bush to serve as a member of the board of directors of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation from January 18, 2004, to April 26, 2005.

2009–2013
Pizzella ran his own consulting firm and was principal at Patrick Pizzella LLC, a position he held from 2009 to 2013. He was cited in an editorial by The Wall Street Journal, and authored articles in the Washington Examiner, The American Spectator, Government Technology magazine, and GCN magazine.

Federal Labor Relations Authority, 2013–17
In August 2013, President Barack Obama nominated Pizzella to fill the Republican (minority party) position on the three-member Federal Labor Relations Authority; he was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on October 16, 2013. Pizzella was nominated again by Obama for the same position in November 2015, for a five-year term ending July 1, 2020, but the Senate failed to act on the nomination by the time it adjourned in January 2017, and the nomination expired.

On January 23, 2017, Pizzella was designated by President Donald Trump to be the Acting Chairman of the FLRA.

United States Department of Labor

Deputy Secretary of Labor
On June 19, 2017, Trump announced his intent to nominate Pizzella to be the next United States Deputy Secretary of Labor, replacing acting Deputy Secretary Nancy Rooney. On June 20, 2017, his nomination was sent to the United States Senate. After the end of the 2017 congressional session, Pizzella's nomination was re-delivered to the Senate in January 2018, and was referred to the United States Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions.

Cloture was invoked on Pizzella's nomination on April 11, 2018, and he was confirmed as Deputy Secretary on the following day; both the cloture and the vote on the nomination passed by 50–48 votes in the Senate.

Acting Secretary of Labor
On July 12, 2019, following the resignation of Secretary Alex Acosta, Trump announced via Twitter that Pizzella would serve as acting Secretary of Labor. Trump nominated Eugene Scalia to succeed Acosta, and he was sworn in on September 30, 2019.

Private sector, 2021
After leaving government service in January 2021, Pizzella accepted an appointment to the Board of Director of the Job Creators Network, and has continued to author op-eds on labor issues for National Review, The Hill and Real Clear Politics, among other publications.

Personal life
Pizzella is married to Mary Joy Jameson, former senior business development executive for Google, a senior public affairs aide in the Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush administrations, who in the 2010s served on the Clemson University Foundation Board. They live in Pinehurst, North Carolina, where both have been active in local affairs.

Earlier in the summer I heard from a few sources, one being Nick Bare(the youtuber,) that tracking macros is an important part of staying fit. So I tried it for a few weeks and found it difficult to come up with ways of getting the correct(or close to) amount of grams of protein. My main question is: Is taking supplements alright? Or should it mostly be avoided? Are things like "Muscle Milk" protein powders OK? I stopped tracking Macros in part because I don't have a way of measuring my body weight at the moment. That can be remedied. But my other question is: Should it? Should I be tracking macros? Any advice is appreciated.

Incumbents Cancel on Tonight's Debates
Staff Reports 02:27PM / Monday October 18, 2010
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Debates for state representative are scheduled tonight, Monday, at Berkshire Community College but the two incumbents have indicated they won't be there.
The debates, sponsored by The Pittsfield Gazette and Pittsfield Community Television, are set to start at 6 with candidates for the 4th Berkshire District and at 7 with candidates for the 3rd Berkshire District.
The debate scheduled for 6 p.m. between incumbent William "Smitty" Pignatelli of Lenox and Green/Rainbow Party candidate Scott Lee Laugenour of Lenox may turn into a one-sided conversation. Pignatelli, who had accepted the debate invitation, informed the Gazette that he confused the date.
The debate may be moved to next week but Laugenour is expected to go on alone tonight. Laugenour, in an e-mail to supporters, said he has also accepted to debate Pignatelli next Monday.
Third District incumbent Christopher N. Speranzo of Pittsfield reportedly informed PCTV by e-mail on Friday that he was "respectfully" declining to attend tonight's debate. The three-term Democrat has been keeping a low profile, especially after it was revealed he was interviewing for the lifetime position of clerk-magistrate of Central Berkshire District Court. He did attend a Democrat kickoff rally in Pittsfield earlier this month, but stayed in the background.
Gazette Editor Jonathan Levine said the 7 p.m. debate will instead be a "conversation" with Speranzo's challenger Mark C. Miller of Pittsfield. Miller, a longtime journalist and former editor of The Berkshire Eagle, is running as the Green/Rainbow candidate.
The debates, such as they are, will be held in BCC's K-111 room and moderated (or interviewed) by David Cachat, coordinator of PCTV's CityLink; seating is first-come, first-served. The event will be telecast on PCTV and live-streamed at www.pittsfieldtv.org.
A second set of debates hosted by BCC and sponsored by the Gazette and PCTV is planned for Monday, Oct. 25, between candidates for the 2nd Berkshire District (Democrat Paul Mark, Republican Michael Case and independent Stefan Racz) and state auditor, including Great Barrington resident and Democrat Suzanne Bump, Republican Mary Connaughton of Framingham and Green/Rainbow candidate Nat Fortune of Whately.
Any updates on tonight's debates will be posted here.

20-year vision to push cycling and walking to the top of the travel hierarchy in Wales unveiled
By Rich Wevill
Returning to the old 'normal' of transport emissions and pre-pandemic levels of road traffic must be avoided if Wales is to tackle climate change head on, Welsh Government says
The vision is set out in the draft transport strategy document 'Llwybr Newydd: A New Wales Transport Strategy', published on Tuesday November 17. Cycling UK welcomes the document and was pleased to have worked with the Welsh government in its development.
It sets out a range of policies to create an 'accessible, sustainable transport system' over the next 20 years which Lee Waters MS, Deputy Minister for Economy and Transport describes as "good for our communities, good for the environment and good for the economy".
Work on the report began before the outbreak of Coronavirus, but the final conclusions have been informed by the crisis, with the report acknowledging there was an opportunity to "consolidate what has been achieved through the change in people's travel behaviour".
The mini section of the report devoted to active travel states: "For people in Wales, we want walking and cycling to become the preferred way of getting around over shorter distances. By 2030 we want Wales to move from over-reliance on private car use, to an active travel nation, improving our health, environment and economy".
We need to see...action on the ground which will make it possible to achieve that modal shift for short journeys from the car to walking and cycling
Gwenda Owen, Cycling UK engagement officer in Wales
It also highlights the need to adapt and respond to innovations, such as encouraging the uptake of active travel including e-bike and e-cargo bike schemes. The default speed limit in built-up areas is also proposed to be reduced from 30mph to 20mph to make walking and cycling feel safer.
Gwenda Owen, Cycling UK's engagement officer for Wales said: "It is great to see that active travel is prioritized in this report and that walking and cycling are not an after-thought for transport policy this time, as has so often been the case before.
"The Welsh Government has been meeting with many stakeholders to ensure there were open and constructive discussions about what is needed. It is now all about delivery, we have much of the legislative framework in place but we need to see that translated into action on the ground which will make it possible to achieve that modal shift for short journeys from reliance on the car to walking and cycling."
*Update 26 March 2021*
With thanks to several of our local volunteers in Wales for their input, our key points in response to the draft Wales Transport Strategy follows:
We broadly welcome the draft Wales Transport Strategy's (WTS) long-term vision, its 20-year ambitions and its 5-year priorities. However, we are concerned by the lack of clarity on delivery and spending plans to achieve the admirable fine words. Without them, we cannot yet feel confident that they will be achieved in practice.
We strongly urge the inclusion of an explicit aim to halt and reverse the growth of motorised traffic, to set targets for this (which should be in line with the wider 'net zero' ambition proposed by the Committee on Climate Change), and then to derive from these targets some wider 'mode-shift' targets for increased use of sustainable transport, backed by spending and delivery plans to achieve this.
We would welcome a greater emphasis on safety within the overall vision, and more detail on how to achieve this in terms of (a) strengthened enforcement of road traffic law; (b) reductions in speed limits for rural single carriageways, as well as the proposed 20mph default speed limit for urban streets; and (c) fewer and safer lorries.
We call for greater integration of measures to promote active travel in the context of (a) planned highway maintenance works (when a road is being resurfaced - this is a highly cost-effective opportunity to redesign it to be more cycle-friendly); (b) new developments; and (c) the planning of rights of way networks (rather than seeing these as primarily recreational): there must be greater recognition of their potential to extend active travel networks into urban fringe and rural areas – this dual role should be reflected by the standards of signing, lighting and surfacing.
We call for greater integration of active travel with public transport, particularly in terms of inter-modal payment and ticketing systems. These should include public bike-share schemes.
Public bike-share should be given greater prominence in the mini-plan for active travel. So too should electric pedal cycles, cargo cycles, non-standard pedal cycles and pedicabs.
Whilst we welcome the recognition of the need to do more to support behaviour change programmes (to complement active travel infrastructure investment), we urge for recognition of the particular value of initiatives aimed at boosting cycle use among groups who are under-represented in cycling, e.g. women, older people, health patients, people with disabilities, and those from minority ethnic and economically disadvantaged groups. Cycling UK's 'Big Bike Revival', Community Cycle Clubs, and Cycling for Health programmes have been highly effective at reaching these groups.
We call for action to boost the capacity and skills needed to deliver cycling and active travel infrastructure in Wales.
Finally, we urge greater clarity on monitoring and governance. The WTS needs to commit to much better data collection and monitoring than the Welsh government has managed in the past. It also needs to clarify how the resulting data will be used to ensure accountability. There is a particular need for greater clarity on the role of Transport for Wales (TfW). We suggest TfW should not only provide support and capacity-building for Welsh local authorities on active travel, but should also act as a sort of inspectorate, assessing their performance both to Ministers and wider stakeholders through the Active Travel Board. Ultimately though, it needs to be clear that any underperformance will be identified and acted on, so as to ensure continuous improvement.

The difference between puzzles and mysteries
Former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skillingwas sentenced to 24 years for fraud.
Puzzles and mysteries are both forms of deception, but they're different.
Puzzles have one answer. Once you discover that answer you've solved the puzzle. Puzzles rely on one side keeping a secret and the other side finding out the secret.
Mysteries depend on your skill. All the information is right in front of you, and it's up to you to figure out what's going on.
Gregory F. Treverton talks about these differences in his book Reshaping National Intelligence for an Age of Information:
"Cold War intelligence lived in a world where information was scarce; it relied on "secrets" not otherwise available. Its business was those secrets. Now, though, it faces an era of information. Information and its sources are mushrooming, and so are the technologies for moving information rapidly around the globe. Given these circumstances, the business of intelligence is no longer just to provide secrets; rather, its business is to produce high-quality understanding of the world using all sources."
In an article in The New Yorker, Malcolm Gladwell explains these differences as they're related to the Enron scandal, where shifty accounting practices led to the destruction of both the energy company Enron and the accounting firm Arthur Anderson. Mr. Gladwell touches on Enron's Jeffrey Skilling, Watergate, the German secret weapon the V-1 rocket, prostate cancer, and the Cold War:
"…Osama bin Laden's whereabouts are a puzzle. We can't find him because we don't have enough information. The key to the puzzle will probably come from someone close to bin Laden, and until we can find that source bin Laden will remain at large.
The problem of what would happen in Iraq after the toppling of Saddam Hussein was, by contrast, a mystery. It wasn't a question that had a simple, factual answer. Mysteries require judgments and the assessment of uncertainty, and the hard part is not that we have too little information but that we have too much…
If things go wrong with a puzzle, identifying the culprit is easy: it's the person who withheld information. Mysteries, though, are a lot murkier: sometimes the information we've been given is inadequate, and sometimes we aren't very smart about making sense of what we've been given, and sometimes the question itself cannot be answered. Puzzles come to satisfying conclusions. Mysteries often don't.
If you sat through the trial of Jeffrey Skilling, you'd think that the Enron scandal was a puzzle. The company, the prosecution said, conducted shady side deals that no one quite understood. Senior executives withheld critical information from investors. Skilling, the architect of the firm's strategy, was a liar, a thief, and a drunk. We were not told enoughthe classic puzzle premisewas the central assumption of the Enron prosecution…
But the prosecutor was wrong. Enron wasn't really a puzzle. It was a mystery."

Background: High prevalence HIV infections among injection drug users (IDUs) may transition to self-sustaining heterosexual epidemics. Despite evidence of such epidemic transitions, little international comparative research exists on this topic.
Methods: An international systematic review was conducted on transitions from IDU-concentrated to self-sustaining heterosexual epidemics. The 2009 UN Reference Group report identified 14 countries that currently have high prevalence (20% or greater) HIV epidemics among IDUs; four additional countries and one US city that previously experienced high HIV epidemics among IDUs were included. Electronic databases and national health agency reports were used to obtain annual incidence data for IDU and heterosexual HIV/AIDS cases. �Transition to a self-sustaining heterosexual epidemic� was defined as the year heterosexual HIV/AIDS cases surpassed IDU HIV/AIDS cases.
Results: Transitions occurred in Argentina, Brazil, France, Indonesia, Italy, Netherlands, Scotland, Ukraine, New York City, and appear imminent in Estonia and Russia. Two types of transitions occurred: A) rapid, high incidence�with transition occurring within 2 years of IDU peak incidence for most countries, and within 20% of the incidence peak among IDUs (Argentina, Brazil, France, Indonesia, Netherlands, Ukraine) and B) long-term, low incidence�8 to 10 years after peak IDU incidence and at levels 50% or less than peak incidence for IDU cases (Italy, Scotland, New York City).
Conclusions: This study documented transitions from IDU to heterosexual epidemics. The finding of two transition types provides a framework for future research including epidemic modeling. It is concerning that transitions in low/middle income countries occurred at high incidence levels.
1.Describe the transitions from IDU concentrated to self sustaining heterosexually driven epidemics in countries with documented high HIV incidence among injection drug users. 2.Differentiate between countries that experienced rapid, high incidence transitions and countries that experienced slow, low incidence transitions. 3.Analyze country dependent factors and their influence on the type of transition that occurred.

Q: How can I split a string on the Nth character before a given parameter (Python) Usually I use the .split() method to split strings on a dataframe, but this time I have a string that looks like this:
"3017381ª Série - EM"
or
"3017381º Ano - Iniciais"
And I'd like to find "º" or "ª" and then split it 2 characters before. The string should look like this after the split:
["301728","1ª Série - EM"]

A: You could use the str.find function, and alter the location in the string you received.
in a function it would look like this (do consider it will split the string on the first entry of the options defined in charList, but you could extend the methodology if required for multiple splits):
def splitString(s,offset=0,charList=[]):
    for opt in charList:
        x = s.find(opt)
        if x != -1: # default when not found
            return [s[:x+offset],s[x+offset:]]
    return [s] # input char not found

You can then call the function:
splitString("3017381ª Série - EM",offset=-1,charList=[ "º","ª"])

A: Maybe it's a little bit confusing but the result it's the one you want.
a = "3017381ª Série - EM"
print(a[7])
print(a[5])
b = a[7]
c = a[5]
print(b)
print(c)
x = a.split(b)
y = a.split(c)
newY = y[1]
newX = x[0]
print(newY)
print(newX)
minusX = newX[:-1]
print(minusX)
z =[]
z.append(minusX)
z.append(y[1])
print("update:", z)

Following up on an earlier post with a quote from a slashdot post of similar name.
My siblings and I have differing opinions on whether or not one should pay for software. Having racked my brain for hours tracking down small bugs in perl/php/shell programs (more often than not the result of a single misplaced character), I can appreciate the effort that goes into making polished applications. Plus, our friendly local rocket scientist probably wouldn't appreciate piracy of other's work (unless it was from Sony of course).


Hemera Project is seeking to make our world more convenient, greener, and safer. Their first project is a watch that stores solar energy so users can charge their smartphones on the go without introducing bulky chargers or battery packs. The sales from their initial market quarter would support their efforts to provide solar-powered lights to West Africa as a safe alternative to kerosene lamps.
Initial discovery phase lead to prudent decision to pause or pivot development.
Hemera's initial idea was great, but it needed assistance proving the concept and ultimately designing the product. There were concerns of incorporating the core functionality (relating to sufficient solar panels and storage electronics) into an attractive package that users would want to wear and use and at a validated price point.
BES investigated the required electronics and surface area requirements to suitably store solar power and charge a smartphone to a target level within a tolerable time frame. At the same time, we also concepted watch designs that would accommodate the required geometries and electrical design.
Ultimately, Hemera Project made the decision to pause development while they further investigated the market for viability. This prudent decision to consider a pivot was made possible by the engineering research and preliminary design renderings developed under our initial discovery phase of engagement.

The Pentagon Wants AI to Take Over the Scientific Process
By Jack Corrigan Staff Correspondent, Nextgov Read bio
BILLION PHOTOS/SHUTTERSTOCK.COM
The project is part of DARPA's newly launched Artificial Intelligence Exploration program, which aims to develop next-generation artificial intelligence applications.
The Pentagon's research arm is looking for teams to build an artificial intelligence tool that can automatically generate, test and refine its own scientific hypotheses.
By essentially automating steps of the scientific process, the tool would let top decision-makers take discoveries from the lab and rapidly apply them to the real world, according to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
"Automation of model-based inference procedures could increase the speed and accuracy with which these models can be used to address key questions of national security by orders of magnitude," officials wrote in a request for information published Aug. 17. They said the system could be used to verify the results of scientific studies and monitor "fragile economic, political, social or environmental" events.
The Automating Scientific Knowledge Extraction, or ASKE, project comes as the first research opportunity under DARPA's newly launched Artificial Intelligence Exploration program, which aims to develop next-generation artificial intelligence applications. These so-called "third wave" AI systems would overcome the limitations of existing machine learning and rule-based AI tools, the agency said in the program announcement.
Scientific models can shed light on complex systems and predict how they might respond to specific changes, but today gathering information and creating those models is a heavy lift, DARPA said. Once developed, the ASKE system would more or less act as its own scientist, taking in models from existing research and automatically updating them to account for new information.
The tool would automatically locate new data and scientific resources, dissect them for useful information, compare those findings to existing research, and then generate new models, according to the RFI. Eventually, DARPA said the system would create and test its own hypotheses to further refine its predictions.
"Applications will include frequent update of user-specified queries as new data becomes available, rapid response to emerging natural disasters or other real-time threats, and even fully automated inference with machine-generated queries," officials wrote.
Research will focus on two technical areas: machine-assisted curation, in which AI extracts useful information from research and builds it into new models, and machine-assisted inference, in which AI would use those models to predict events and answer other questions from human researchers.
The program will run in two parts: teams would study the tool's feasibility in phase one and demonstrate a proof of concept in phase two. Phase one will last six months and include up to $300,000 in DARPA funding, while phase two would run one year and include funding up to $700,000. Interested groups can apply for one or both of the technical areas.
Research proposals are due Sept. 17.

Masseria Donnaloia is a magical place: as soon as you enter the park with natural vegetation of the Bari area and take the road leading to the entrance of the structure, one has the feeling of entering a place where the past is present.
Wonderful terrace from which to enjoy cocktails at sunset or a wonderful evening in summer, the beautiful citrus groves and the pool entirely adorned with ancient "chianche" that make it even more impressive.
The Resort Hotel 5 Stars Donnaloia has a part of a long and deep beach reserved 1,6 km from Masseria.
The 27 Rooms are located within the walls of the farm and many have sea views and fireplaces making the romance. The Deluxe "Trajan" derived from the old barn with a barrel vault and natural plaster, overlooks the sea and bathroom with tub for relaxing moments. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, fridge, phone, TV, Internet access and a safe.

As I mentioned before, this past weekend (and Monday) was my fraternity's national convention. I had a lot of fun with my brothers and sisters! We went to the Museum of Science and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Interestingly enough, it is the Museum of Fine Arts I want to talk about.
We had time to go to two of the exhibits there. One of them was a beautiful exhibit on musical instruments. If you love musical instruments, GO TO THIS EXHIBIT. And also get the audio tour. My favorite was the glass armonica. I want one. I might even want to build one, but I've got quite a to-build list going already. We'll see. Getting it tuned correctly must be a painstaking process.
The entire exhibit is full of incredibly well preserved and well restored artifacts that bring ancient Egypt to life. Staring at the carpentry, sculpture, painting, etc… you get an undeniable feeling of connection with the people who made these things. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend taking a look. It's a temporary exhibition, so don't miss out.
I'll strongly second your recommendation to see this exhibit. One of the things that I was really impressed by is that it focused on putting the objects in context, culturally, mythologically, religiously, as well as physically.
I love Ancient Egypt and make a point to see exhibits on it whenever I can, and I've often been frustrated by the lack of context. Yes, many of these objects are amazing works of art, but they are also incredible artifacts of culture, worldview and life. I want to explore both aspects.
This exhibit does and amazing job of doing just that – I really enjoyed it, so see it if you can!

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Side Missions Provide In-Game Rewards
As well as optional story elements.

While Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will feature a linear story, Infinity Ward's upcoming shooter will also include non-linear elements that allow the player to earn various in-game rewards.
"As the captain of the UNSA Retribution, which is the carrier that you command, you can order it to go and engage in different missions in a non-linear order," Infinity Ward design director Jacob Minkoff told IGN.
"We are telling a linear story, but along the way you can choose to attack targets of opportunity, and attacking those targets of opportunity will reward you with various items and progression and loot elements that will help you to accomplish the next main mission that you accept from command," he added, noting they "will also reveal optional elements of the story."
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will release for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on November 4. For more on Infinity Ward's upcoming shooter, here's what we know about the campaign.

As we go forward in our daily walks as Christian men, we often struggle with what it means to be "a real man." There is a big difference between what the world says we should be and what God says in the Bible.
It doesn't help that in today's world masculinity has an image problem. If you read a lot of secular media, you'll see articles blaming men as the root of many of the world's problems. It's easy to get defensive. After all, most of us are hardworking fathers, sons, and brothers just trying to get by and take care of our families.
However, when you hear about the high numbers of sexual assaults on college campuses, the gang violence in our cities, or the shootings in our schools and communities, one thing stands out. They are almost all perpetrated by men. When you look at all this horror, it's not hard to see how such phrases as "toxic masculinity" have become common.
"Toxic masculinity" is when traditional masculine cultural traits such as independence, strength, or competitiveness become excessive to the point of hurting oneself or others. We have all known guys who feel they must prove or show off their manliness.
Sometimes it's not so blatant. How many of us have not gone to the doctor because "I'm a man and I can tough it out?" Or we don't share our emotions because "that's not what men do." It's easy to see how any of these traits taken to the extreme can become toxic to those around us.
We have a tendency to idolize the past as "the good ol' days" when politicians were role models, business men took care of their communities, and dads had all the right answers. But it only takes a moment of research to see that the past wasn't any better than the present. As Ecclesiastes 1:9 tells us, "there is no new thing under the sun." Yes, there were plenty of good examples of men in the past, but there were just as many bad. In today's age of instant information, the negative often gets more press than the good.
The media and our culture constantly change the qualifications of what a "real man" should be. It wasn't long ago that we were lumberjacks, farmers, and cowboys – "real men" that got things done with our hands. Then the "sensitive man" came into fashion. Suddenly, "real men" were getting in touch with their feminine sides.
Today we have an odd amalgamation of the two, thanks to hipsters. The scruffy beard and plaid shirt are back, but we wear them while writing in our journals at overpriced coffee shops. And yes, we carry a man bag, but it's made of weathered leather, so don't you dare call it a purse! Then there's the man bun… don't get me started on the man bun.
So, if we can't look to the past and we can't look to the media, how are we supposed to know what true masculinity is?
As in all things, we should look to Christ. Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:5, "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth." In today's culture meekness is the exact opposite of manliness. To be meek is to be weak and submissive. To be manly, you must show off your strength, your swagger, or your money. Well, showing off our manliness is what got us to "toxic masculinity" in the first place!
I'd like to present a different definition. Meekness is power under control. Instead of flaunting, it's holding back. Instead of dominating through force, it's submitting through servitude. There is no greater example of this than Jesus. He is God, the Creator of the universe, but He chose to not brandish that power but instead lower Himself to our level. He had all the power in the universe, yet He came as a servant. That is true meekness.
One of my favorite presidents, Theodore Roosevelt, once said, "Speak softly and carry a big stick." Ol' Teddy was talking about his foreign policy, but I like to think it works as a prime example of meekness as well. There is nothing wrong with being strong, or powerful, or successful; but what makes you a man is not your ability to flaunt power or impose it on others. True manliness is controlling and even sacrificing yourself for the benefit of others.
A true man serves others and sacrifices himself to provide for those in need. A true man looks at responsibility as a duty rather than a burden.
We all fail at this from time to time, but we have grace through our Lord Jesus Christ. He is our example. Psalm 145:8 tells us, "The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy." May we live lives that emphasize these attributes as the standard of our masculinity.
