Lenten Reflections 2021: What does Following Jesus Have to do with Racism?

@johnvinod | March 22, 2021
In an unending series of racial violence and hate crimes, the latest to break our hearts is a young Christian man in Georgia, USA, last week. He went on a killing spree, especially targeting Asian women. One of his victims was a single mother of South Korean descent, Hyun Jung Grant, who was raising two young boys working hard in a spa. As the followers of Christ, we cannot overlook this when members of our own families and churches pick up guns and go around destroying innocent families and leaving young orphans in its aftermath. Let us, therefore, read today Luke 10: 25-37.
One of the reasons, racial violence and hate crimes go on unabated in the majority Christian countries, targeting people of color, is because our churches have not been bold enough to teach or preach on the issues of racism and ethnocentrism. Not just churches, but it is rare to find among the luminaries of western theologians, in the past centuries, who have included the issues of racism or colonialism in their theological treatises. The reason is simple: it was not an issue they had to deal with.
However, reading the gospels, we come across Jesus who was born, raised, and ministered during the Roman colonization of Israel. Even within Israel, he was aware of the racial intolerance among the Jews, the Gentiles, and the Samaritans. Therefore, Jesus made it his business to address the issue of racial discrimination and hatred throughout his ministry. One such teaching is in today's text in Luke 10: 25-37. It is a familiar parable of Jesus found only in Luke's gospel. Everything in his story was going normal until Jesus introduced a Samaritan. The lawyer who was testing him, Jesus' disciples, and the those who were listening in were all Jewish people and they did not anticipate that Jesus, being a Jewish guru, would show the Samaritan in the limelight as he did.
Imagine the predicament of the lawyer. He had to answer Jesus' probing question after listening to the shocking parable of the Samaritan who showed compassion and mercy to the Jewish man, he had found laying wounded on the side of the road. The lawyer knew the honest answer to Jesus's question, "Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?" (Luke 10: 36). However, he could not bring himself up to openly say, "the Samaritan"! His prejudices of the Samaritan people would not permit him to agree with Jesus' proposition that a Samaritan would demonstrate how to value human life in need, irrespective his ethnic differences with the needy. He did not expect the Samaritan man to come out as the hero of the story because he had always stereotyped them as evil and unclean people who would never do good for the Jewish people. It was Jesus' purpose to shatter such prejudices and stereotypes about the other.
Jesus dumbfounded not only the lawyer, but each of us today who reads this story by saying, "You go, and do likewise" (Luke 10:37 ESV). This parable forces listeners to decide what they should be doing. Do like the Samaritan, not like what your own people are doing. The lawyer had asked Jesus what he should do, Jesus told him exactly what to do, i.e., get in the habit of demonstrating your mercy like the Samaritan did for the needy and wounded people on the margins of your busy life. Permit such people often to interrupt and pause our schedules and business as usual rut. So that we may reach out to them to be good neighbors irrespective of their color of skin, physical appearance, social status, or ethnic background.
To "what must I do," even today Jesus replies: "Go, and do likewise," as the Samaritan man did. May we choose to follow Jesus Christ.

Lenten Reflections 2021: How did Jesus Use His Privileges?

On March 16th, in a racially charged hate crime, several Asian women were shot dead by a young white man in a shooting spree at massage parlors in Georgia, USA. This is just one of the numerous incidents during a recent spike in the racist anti-Asian hate crimes in the USA and Canada during the pandemic. This leads me to reflect on how did Jesus deal with his privilege and race.
Did Jesus Christ acknowledge that these issues existed during his time? Was he privileged? What did he do with his privileged position, power, and authority? What can we learn from Jesus' life and mission today, especially during this Lenten season? In the past few days, we have been reflecting on Jesus' temptations in the wilderness. The question for me is: why did he go through this experience? Was there no other way to save his Jewish people and then the rest of humanity?
Jesus Christ was indeed privileged in more than ways than one. First, he was divine. Even when he took flesh like you and me, he was still divine. That is why he could do those miracles, signs, and wonders. That is why he was able to overcome death through his resurrection. Jesus Christ was also privileged to be born in a Jewish family as a male. He understood he was a privileged Jewish man, and it showed through some of his sayings and views toward other people groups.
However, the question is: What did Jesus do with his privileged position? First, the Bible tells us that he humbled himself to the point of suffering in the wilderness and being tempted by the devil. The book of Hebrews reminds us what this means for us who may be bewildered by the racially prejudiced acts and hatred of some privileged Christians. If you are at a point that continuing to follow Jesus seems unbearable, listen to this encouragement from Jesus' wilderness:
12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4: 12-16 ESV).
Second, the Apostle Paul writes that Jesus emptied himself and his privileged position and status. He laid aside his glory and the privileges that come with being God.
3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross (Philippians 4: 3-8 ESV).
Friends, we are all privileged in one or the other area of our life. It could be the pigment of our skin, family, upbringing, education, language skills, or something else. Instead of denying bigotry and denying the inherent privileges and certain systems that help us maintain our privileges; as the followers of Christ, we must ask ourselves: Are we following Christ and his example? Are we willing to humble ourselves to the extent of laying aside our privileges and make way for non-privileged people?
Permit Jesus, who suffered in the wilderness and on the cross, confront and challenge us today. May we acknowledge and use our privilege, as children of God, in making our world more acceptable and livable for others who do not look like us. May we use our privilege to walk alongside the people from a different ethnic group than our own because that is the way to demonstrate that we follow Jesus Christ and his Kingdom.

Fantastical Fish-a-pod's Fish Fingers
March 19, 2020 March 24, 2020 DrAliceClement
It's here, it's here, Elpistostege is finally here!
What or who is Elpistostege, I hear you ask? Elpistostege is an ancient beastie that roamed the earth some 380 million years ago throughout parts of what is today Quebec in Canada. When fossils were first described it was thought they belonged to an ancient amphibian, before further finds suggested it was in fact a fish. The transition from fish (in the water) to the first land animals (with limbs and digits) was surely one of the greatest ever "steps" in evolution, and Elpistostege is perfectly placed to help us understand it.
Artwork by Katrina Kenny (https://katrinakennyartist.com.au/)
10 years ago, Prof Richard Cloutier from Université du Québec à Rimouski, discovered a new specimen of Elpistostege, and for the first time a complete skeleton of this animal was uncovered! The fossil is 1.6 m long and preserves a complete head, vertebral column and all the fins right up to the tail.
Richard invited some of the Flinders University Palaeontology group to work with him and his team in Canada on this exciting new fossil, which is where I come in (along with John Long and Mike Lee). The fossil was CT scanned at the University of Texas High-Resolution X-ray Facility so that detailed 3-D modelling of its skeleton could be done.
Alice, John & Richard celebrating finishing the paper in 2019
Via this painstaking 3-D modelling of the scans (it took me months and months!), we revealed the internal bones of the pectoral skeleton (arm) including the presence of a humerus, radius, ulna, rows of carpal bones (e.g. your wrist bones), and other smaller bones (digits!). We have found the first fish fingers!
Excitingly, the digits are still contained within a fish fin. And as John and Richard put it in their recent Conversation article "This suggests the fingers of vertebrates, including of human hands, first evolved as rows of digit bones in the fins of Elpistostegalian fishes." So next time you shake hands with someone (will we be doing that again?) or take a sip from a champagne flute (I'll be doing that tonight), you know who you have to thank.
Read the full article in Nature here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2100-8.pdf
Hear my radio interview on The Wire, with Lachlan McPherson here.
Rewriting evolution – our fishy origins
Tonight, Professor John Long, Strategic Professor of Palaeontology, will talk about "Rewriting evolution – our fishy origins" at the Alere Function Centre, Flinders University, as part of the BRAVE lecture series.
Come and hear about how the beginnings of the human body plan first appeared in fishes, deep in geological time. "Professor Long will discuss his thesis that the big steps in human evolution took place well before fishes left the water to invade land. This research provides a new perspective on humans' evolutionary story; one which comes from looking up from the water's edge, not looking down from the trees."
I'll be on the panel for the discussion to follow John's presentation, alongside Associate Professor Paul Willis (founder and CEO, Media Engagement Services) and Associate Professor Diego Garcia-Bellido (University of Adelaide and South Australian Museum).

Welcome, Tom!
March 2, 2020 March 2, 2020 DrAliceClement
The Flinders University Palaeo Lab welcomes Dr Tom Challands! Tom is a researcher in the evolution of early vertebrate sensory systems, visiting us for a couple of months from the University of Edinburgh School of Geosciences. Tom is here for collaboration on some fabulous fossil fish projects, before also visiting Curtin University in Perth.
Tom and I share a love of lungfish brains (not many who can say that), and we'll also work on some Scottish Carboniferous rhizodont material that he has brought with him. We'll be visiting ANSTO, the Australian Synchrotronin Melbourne next month to do some scanning.
Exciting times ahead!

I did something other than Sewing!
On Friday afternoons at work the conversation usually turns to our plans for the weekend. My fellow florists get up to all sorts of different things whereas my reply is usually " Oh you know me... I'll be sewing".
This week I had something different to say!!
My reply was " Mr Daisy and I going on a a twilight trip on a vintage steam train through the Blue Mountains!!"
On Saturday at precisely 4.48pm the train arrived in clouds of steam and smoke.
The sound was thunderous!! Really, really, really loud!!!
We were in economy but it seemed luxurious compared to modern trains.
and were soon on our way.
I didn't capture it in a photo but at lots of points along the tracks people were lined up to wave as we flew by. Of course we had fun waving back!!
The views were picturesque, the Blue Mountains are always beautiful.
funny how I'm attracted to circles in my photos.
Our destination was Katoomba where the train waited while we had an hour and a half for dinner. Luck had it that there was a restaurant across the road from the station that we'd been wanting to try. Bistro Niagara was wonderful - great service, great food, great atmosphere. A real gem in the mountains, we'll definitely go back.
By the time we returned to catch the train home it was dark.
but that just added to the fun and added another element of the experience.
As we pulled away from the station the conductor kindly offered to turn off the lights in our compartment so we could more easily see out the windows. It was a clear night and the stars really put on an extra shiny show for us. As we rolled through the mountains on our way home we reminisced about our train trips in the past from the Red Rattlers from our childhood days to stories of travelling overseas.
We soon arrived at our station. Happy travellers, slightly windswept.
It was so good to get out and do something different. It certainly blew the cobwebs away.
But it's also nice to spend the day in my sewing room - that's where I'll be today!!
And Mr Daisy will be off flying planes , but that's another story for another day.
I hope you've got fun things planned too.
That sounded like so much fun! It seemed like I was on this train ride with you. I wonder what's going to come out of your sewing room today after being inspired by the Blue Mountains. Those circles look pretty cool!
What a fantastic experience. You are in such a pretty area and this is another great way to see it.
Some of my best memories of travelling overseas is on trains! It might be time for another trip on Puffing Billy! And isn't it lovely to do something really different- it's a holiday from the mundane, that's for sure!
How much fun! I've never even seen a steam train, must now make make the effort to see & ride in one. So glad you & Mr. Daisy had a good evening.
Loved your post! Added to the list of 'must do' when we are next in NSW! Sounds such fun. Happy sewing today.
Looks like you had a wonderful day! We have been talking about taking a train ride and now I really want to go!
That looks like lots of fun! Glad you were able to enjoy it...and still have time for sewing...win/win!
Love the reflection of you in the window of the economy car! Great picture of the two of you. Looks like a lovely adventure to experience. Nice to have a break now and then.
You went on a proper train! It looks like you had fun :-) They are fun! Even with the cinders blowing in... DH's dad is a huge train nuffy and they used to own a carriage (or compartment) like the one you rode in.
just fabulous! i have always wanted to do this! very romantic!
What fun and so romantic until you realise just how dirty that coal is and what an innovation electricity must have been. But you catered admirably and saw it through. We had fun in the emergency room getting dear girl's brow glued! And you thought your steam train was fun!
What a fabulous experience for you - those old coal driven trains are so romantic, aren't they!!!
Oh my! That looks like such a fun day! I love that you had drinks and a meal in your car...trains are so romantic! Your Mr. Daisy has a serious model plane there! I didn't realize they are so big. My husband is a pilot and he is leaving here in a bit to go play with his plane too!
Oh FUN! between you and Rebecca I am getting to 'know' Australia!! Had to look up Katoomba and progressed from there. I was surprised at names that were the same, we Have the Three Sisters in Oregon (very different mountains!) and Yosemite in California.
What a great adventure. The sunsets have been so spectacular lately that the evening views must have been stunning. Glad you both had a great time.
It all looks incredibly romantic and a bit like an old movie. I kept expecting you to say you'd been involved in a murder you had to solve or some espionage incident or something !
What a truly fun thing to do. Looks like yo had a great time, and I'm glad the bits of coal were in your napkin and not floating around in your wine.
WOW - what a fantastic trip, dear Rachael!!!
It looks as if you had a really wonderful trip. Steam trains are wonderful aren't they. We have a few local ones that do excursions at various times during the year and I love to bring my two little boys with me as they really love the experience. I sometimes also bring some hand sewing to do, it feels aptly "olde worlde" and I happily stitch away as my two little ones enjoy the experience and keep up a running commentary on all that is going on.
That looked like so much fun! Now what will you be making????
Whoo! This looks like so much fun! Kind of a time-travel adventure. You and Mr. Daisy are adorable together. You are so right. It's hard to get out of the sewing room on the precious weekends. This is a good reminder that we do need to stop and enjoy the other parts of life sometimes.
That looks like so much fun! Love seeing pictures of you both !
Now that sounds like a fabulous way to spend a Saturday night!
New experiences always give a new perspective on things. Looks like you both had a great time.
Ahhh, Mr Busy Bee Quilts is also into flying machines. He has quite an extensive collection of rc helicopters!
Will your next quilt feature circles prominently?
What a Grand Day Out! looks like such fun and your photo essay of the trip makes me feel like I was there. You always have the best adventures. the food looks amazing.
Oh Rachael I want to go on this...I absolutely love trains!
I'm jealous! That must have been so much fun. I see some familiar features of the old carriages from when Mum would take us to Sydney in school hols from Mt Vic. You have to feel for the ladies trying to hang their washing out to dry in the days of steam trains. The must have hated the soot.
How awesome! My son loves steam trains from when he was little watching Thomas the Tank Engine so we have done a few steam train rides. I have loved every one of them. There is something very romantic about it all.

MEMPHIS AREA ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Memphis is a fast-growing city located in the middle of the Sun Belt. Located on the Mississippi River in the southwest corner of Tennessee,
Memphis lies at the geographic crossroads between the Mid-South and the Mid-West and is within 500 miles of two-thirds of the nation's population. Memphis is the largest city in Tennessee and the western focal point of the state. Adjacent to the Mississippi River and intersected by seven federal and three interstate highways, the city's central location is key to the local economy's success.
Superior logistics and intermodal transportation capabilities position Memphis as America's Distribution Center. This position is further enhanced by the presence of the FedEx World Headquarters.
POPULATION AND JOBS
The Memphis MSA is the 41st largest city in the United States, and has experienced a significant increase in population since 2000. According to the US Census, the 2010 population of 1.31 million represents a 9.2% increase over the last decade. Memphis area unemployment nearly doubled from 5.3% to 10.0% between 2007 and 2010. As of January 2012 the unemployment rate dropped to 9.2%, and many employers have announced relocation or expansion plans within the MSA.
Downtown Memphis is the region's economic center with more than 80,000 employees working in the urban center and is anchored by several large corporate headquarters along with government, medical and financial institutions. Downtown is undergoing a renaissance with more than $2.5 billion in development projects recently completed, currently planned or underway.

Primary industries supporting the Memphis economy are distribution & logistics, manufacturing, agribusiness and healthcare.

While the rest of the nation has lost manufacturing jobs to foreign markets, the percentage of manufacturing jobs in Memphis has increased to 10% of the population. Memphis leads the nation's top 100 cities with the highest percentage of workforce involved in logistics and is also home to eight Fortune 1,000 headquarters, and many other major corporations' headquarters can be found in the city.
ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS
Memphis is known as "America's Distribution Center" due to its unique convergence of river, highway, rail and air modes of transportation.

RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE MARKET
Median home prices in Memphis declined from $141,500 in December 2006 to $87,570 at year-end 2011. This is well below the 2000 median of $118,800. Between 2000 and the present, the Median Price / Median Income ratio has been roughly cut in half, from 3.0 to 1.5.
Housing in Memphis is eminently affordable, and a return to normal affordability metrics would imply across-the-board price increases, particularly as the economy recovers bringing job and income growth.
April 2012 total sales increased by 15.3% over the prior year, while the Median Sales Price of $86,000 represented a 13.7% increase over the prior year. Like many markets, Memphis has seen a precipitous decline in inventory over this time period, leading to a firming of the market. Overall Active Listings for single family homes in Memphis declined from 8,087 to 6,671 over the prior year.
The Current Month Area detail section of the MAAR Report shows the April Median Sales Price in the Shelby County Area, location of all of the homes, increased 13.6% from the prior year to $80,000, while the Existing Home Median increased by 11.6% over the prior year to $75,900. Memphis' overall housing affordability, growing population and strong economic underpinnings bode well for a stronger market in the future, and are drawing substantial investor.

The Top Places to Visit in Edinburgh for Harry Potter Fans
Tori Chalmers
Sprinkled with an enchanting essence, Edinburgh, a dreamy destination for Hogwarts fans, is sacred ground to Harry Potter enthusiasts. Between the higgledy piggledy cobbled streets, dramatic medieval architecture and age-old charm, J.K. Rowling landed on a goldmine of inspiration as spellbinding as the contents of Gringotts, when she moved to Scotland in the '90s. Revel in the magic found woven throughout the cultural and historical fabric of Edinburgh and explore the best Potterhead spots.
Adored by tourists and locals alike, Victoria Street is one of Edinburgh's most beautiful streets. Lined with independent shops, each as colourful as the next, this curving cobbled street was built between 1829 and 1834. It also happens to be the main inspiration for Diagon Alley. Overflowing with character and stand-out quirks, even muggles can spot the similarities. Aha Ha Ha joke shop and Diagon House should not be passed up. Adding to the excitement, the Wizard of the West Bow once resided here many moons ago.

Diagon House
Curiosity Museum
A newcomer to Edinburgh's magic scene, Diagon House is a one-stop shop for all Potter-related needs and desires, minus all the commercial cheese common to many retailers. This atmospheric emporium is perched halfway down Victoria Street, a street famed as Rowling's said inspiration for Diagon Alley. Adorned with a wealth of official HP merchandise and collectibles from local artisans, the meticulously picked curiosities span all price points. With decades of broom-making heritage written into its history, Diagon House is as charming as it is alluring.

Famed for its direct link with the story of Greyfriars Bobby, Greyfriars Kirkyard is deemed one of the world's most haunted places. It was also a space of calm for Rowling while she gathered her thoughts and walked. Tucked away amid the age-old headstones is the grave of a Thomas Riddell Esquire, the very name (albeit a different spelling) given to Lord Voldemort. The kirkyard also houses the graves of Elizabeth Moodie and William McGonagall, which likely inspired the names of Mad-Eye Moody and Professor McGonagall. Fans flock from far and wide to leave letters and other forms of fan mail at 'Voldemort's grave', despite the fact that the Edinburgh City Council remove them out of respect for the dead.

A known hotspot for Scottish writers such as Ian Rankin and Alexander McCall-Smith, The Elephant House served as a home away from home for Rowling while she wrote the Harry Potter series, hence its unofficial title as 'The Birthplace of Harry Potter'.

Speculations state that Spoon, formerly called Nicolson's Café, was the hangout of choice while she conjured up the first book. The café provided a prime working environment and the chance to save on her home heating bill.

An architectural masterpiece lined with turrets and towers, the resemblance between George Heriot's School and Hogwarts is uncanny. This private co-educational school also uses the House system to sort students, just as Hogwarts has Ravenclaw, Slytherin, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. Almost as mesmerising as the magical edifice it inspired, Rowling's children attended Heriot's.
The Balmoral Hotel is both a staple in Princes Street's skyline and a legendary institution. Praised for its high-end furnishings, central location, Michelin-starred restaurant and glamorous guests, Potter fans can embrace the magic and stay in room 552 or the J.K. Rowling Suite. Free from distractions and cloaked in luxury, this swanky suite was frequented by Rowling while she wrote The Deathly Hallows. The room features a brass owl door knocker, a signed marble bust of Hermes and the very writing desk where she put pen to paper.
A little slice of Hollywood in Scotland, the Edinburgh City Chambers is a popular stomping ground for any hardcore HP fans in the know. A bronze impression of Rowling's hands is showcased on a flagstone in the quadrangle. These precious hands, which appeared in 2008 when the author received the Edinburgh Award, are placed next to those of Ian Rankin OBE, Sir Chris Hoy and Tom Gilzean.


Whether you're planning a romantic getaway to Palm Beach County Florida or you just want a break from the more standard hotels and resorts on your visit, the West Palm Beach bed and breakfasts are worth considering. Finding a good bed and breakfast in West Palm Beach is made easy by the fact that there are a handful of gems to choose from. In addition to a West Palm Beach B&B anyone visiting the area will also do well to extend their search into the nearby cities. Down in Lake Worth, for example, the Sabal Palm House B&B presents visitors with an excellent place to stay. As is true at most of the West Palm Beach bed and breakfasts, you'll be a short distance from the beach when you stay at the Sabal Palm House.
The Sabal Palm House (pictured) is one of the best bed and breakfasts in the West Palm Beach area, but if you want to stay closer to West Palm Beach proper, you might prefer the Hibiscus House. This West Palm Beach B&B is one of the more affordable B&Bs in the area, which helps to make it one of the more popular. There are only five rooms at the Hibiscus House, so booking your stay in advance is recommended. All of the rooms here are unique, and if you need some extra space, there is a two-room suite available. Private bathrooms figure among the amenities in the guest units, and you can opt for a unit with a Jacuzzi tub. Other amenities include air conditioning, cable TV, and a hair dryer. As you should expect when staying at a West Palm Beach B&B, you'll enjoy a filling breakfast at the Hibiscus House. These complimentary morning meals are either served outside by the pool or in the formal dining room. Both peaceful and relatively affordable, the Hibiscus House deserves some attention when a bed and breakfast in West Palm Beach is what you have in mind.
In addition to considering the Hibiscus House when looking for your ideal West Palm Beach B&B, you might also consider the Casa de Rosa. The rates here are higher than they are at the Hibiscus House, but you'll enjoy an elevated level of overall comfort. All four guest units are well decorated and boast a fresh appeal. Air conditioning, cable TV, wireless internet access, a hair dryer, and a private bathroom figure among the amenity highlights. Should you be planning a trip to the beach, which you likely will at some point during your stay, each guest unit is also outfitted with clean beach towels. Should you need some added space during your stay at the Casa de Rosa B&B, one of the four units is a detached beach cottage. Outside of the guest units, the facilities include a small, yet attractive swimming pool and a fully-equipped kitchen that is available for guest use. Lush gardens cover the grounds, adding to the already undeniable appeal of this bed and breakfast in West Palm Beach.
The West Palm Beach bed and breakfasts tend to be relatively expensive, as they offer some of the best rooms in the area. They also offer good service and a level of intimacy that is hard to come by when it comes to the larger hotels. Good service is certainly to be expected at the Grandview Gardens B&B, which can be found in the heart of downtown West Palm Beach. Like most of the West Palm Beach bed and breakfasts, the Grandview Gardens B&B is housed in a historic structure. The 1924 home that houses the inn was lovingly restored, and while it boasts some wonderful modern amenities, it hasn't lost its historic charm. The rooms at the Grandview Gardens B&B are spacious, and they are also luxurious. An elegant décor characterizes all of the guest units, and standard amenities include cable TV, a private en-suite bathroom, a refrigerator, high-speed internet access, air conditioning, and a hair dryer. As for the overall amenities, they include a central swimming pool, a sunbathing terrace with chairs and tables, a library, and a large garden. Wi-Fi internet access is offered throughout the grounds, and bicycles are available for guest use if you want to explore town. A number of attractions are just a walk away when you stay at this excellent bed and breakfast in West Palm Beach, and they include the Norton Museum of Art and the Kravis Center.
While you're searching for West Palm Beach bed and breakfasts, it will behoove you to check out the Palm Beach Historic Inn. This landmark West Palm Beach B&B is just a block from the beach, and guests are welcome to use free beach chairs and towels. In addition to being close to the beach, the Palm Beach Historic Inn is also close to a number of good restaurants. For some, that's enough to seal the deal. When you're not out enjoying a meal on the town during your stay, you can always enjoy the complimentary in-room wine, tea, and snacks. To help you start your day, the Palm Beach Historic Inn serves an excellent continental breakfast. There are thirteen total guest units at this delightful bed and breakfast in West Palm Beach, and they are all uniquely decorated. Hardwood floors add to the historical appeal in the guest rooms, and luxury bedding helps to make for a good night's sleep. Guest will also enjoy luxurious guest robes. Other standard amenities include a mini refrigerator, air conditioning, cable TV, a hair dryer, and an iron.

Helen Shepherd was born on March 7, 1922. She died in February 1980 at 57 years of age. We know that Helen Shepherd had been residing in Witter, Madison County, Arkansas.
Helen Shepherd lived 12 years shorter than the average Shepherd family member when she died at the age of 57.
1922 - In the year that Helen Shepherd was born, on June 22, coal miners in Herrin Illinois, were on strike (coal miners had been on strike nationally since April 1). The striking miners were outraged at the strikebreakers (scabs) that the company had brought in and laid siege to the mine. Three union workers were killed when gunfire was exchanged. The next day, union miners killed 23 strikebreakers and mine guards. No one, on either side, ever faced jail time.
1925 - She was just 3 years old when in July, the Scopes Trial - often called the Scopes Monkey Trial - took place, prosecuting a substitute teacher for teaching evolution in school. Tennessee had enacted a law that said it was "unlawful to teach human evolution in any state-funded school". William Jennings Bryan headed the prosecution and Clarence Darrow headed the defense. The teacher was found guilty and fined $100. An appeal to the Supreme Court of Tennessee upheld the law but overturned the guilty verdict.
1957 - Helen was 35 years old when on September 24th, the "Little Rock Nine" (nine African-American students) entered Little Rock High School. Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus had previously prevented the students from entering the school at the beginning of the term with the Arkansas National Guard - they blocked the door. President Eisenhower ordered federal troops - the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army - to guard the students and allow them entry.
1969 - She was 47 years old when one hundred countries, along with the United States and the Soviet Union signed the nuclear nonproliferation treaty (NPT). It called for stopping the spread of nuclear weapons, the peaceful use of nuclear energy, and the goal of nuclear disarmament.
1980 - In the year of Helen Shepherd's passing, on April 24th, a rescue attempt was begun in the Iranian Hostage Crisis. The attempt failed and 8 US servicemen were killed. Eight helicopters had been sent for the mission, but only 5 arrived in operating condition., Since the military had advised that the mission be aborted if there were fewer than 6 helicopters, President Carter stopped it. Upon leaving, a helicopter collided with a transport plane and the men were killed.
Helen Shepherd died in February 1980 at 57 years of age. No cause of death has been listed. She was born on March 7, 1922. We have no information about Helen's surviving family. We know that Helen Shepherd had been residing in Witter, Madison County, Arkansas.

Q: One Library or Many? Listing Libraries Googling/searching for this has been rather difficult because a 'list' is a special thing in sharepoint.
We have a number of sales centers around the country that periodically need to transfer photographs to our corporate HQ. We have been using a large number of drop box accounts and a complex arrangement of shared folders to accomplish this.
As we recently migrated to office 365 mostly for the email and IM capability I have been trying to find a way to apply sharepoint to this issue.
My first attempt was to create a document library and then a folder in the library for each sales center and then share each folder with that sale's center's manager. However this created some issues. Because the manager does not have view permissions in the parent folder, their skydrive app did not want to synch their folder.
It also looks like I may run into issues related to character limits for the URL that links to the folder in the library because I have a nested folder for each sales office.
Am I approaching this issue all wrong? Should I create a library for each location instead? And if so, how can I make it so that on the sharepoint 'home page' I can have a list of all the libaries. That way a manager can login to the web view and then easily just click on the name of the library assigned to their sales office.
I am not asking stackexchange to do my work for me, I am just new to sharepoint and want to make sure I get things set up the right way the first time. I'd like some pointers on what direction I should head in and if anybody else has been in a similar situation.
ofc the easiest solution is simply using each managers personal skydrive for this, but I would rather these documents are kept seperate from personal documents and this makes it easier to control access if one manager leaves and another takes their place.

A: If it's only photos that you are working with here, use Picture libraries instead of Document libraries.
Give everyone who needs access, access to that library. Then create folders for each Center. If you don't already have it, create new groups; 1 per Center.
In the Picture library break permission inheritance and add the new Center groups to their associated folders.
When this is done, you should have the library structure in place as well as permissions/security.
This approach stores all the photos at one location and you can just dump the AppPart/List view web part for the Picture library on the "Home" page. This way managers can just log on to the website and see all the submitted photos right on the home page, and because of the folder and permission structure, they can only see their submissions.
About the URL issue, the limit is at 260 characters as far as I'm aware, so consider keeping short names for the images - or at least as short as possible. But with them being placed on root level (presumably) that issue should die out.

A: Did you try to create a separate Library for each sales center and on that library stop inheritance and assign the unique permissions so that Sales center can see only the their library.
I think you need to give them view permission on the page where all your library's link will. he may see all sales center's library but if he click other than his own, he will get access denied.
By the way, how many user in the each sales center?

A: Well for now we are sticking with DropBox, because we have two Mac users in the company that are the primary users of these photographs, and there is just no easy way to deal with SharePoint libraries on OSX. The web view does not allow for bulk downloads/uploads and until there's a SkyDrive Pro application, there's not going to be an easy way to manage the file.
We will be moving forward with Sharepoint libaries for things like HR documents and standard paperwork.
Thanks for the suggestions but in the end it didn't matter because of lack of OSX support.

Another fun time with a really fun group of kids. I just love getting out into the community and visiting of all things -a community center!
It's the Duanesburg Area Community Center, to be exact. These kids were ready to write and sing and have a good time. This is the first of the summer camps that I do this year, and counselor Courtney Houck graciously invited me in to write a song parody with the campers! Here it is, guys!
To all of the staff there - thanks for having me in!

1 Inc 18 to $10[l The Life and Times of St. Bernard. By Dr. Augustus Neander,
Professor of Theology in the Royal University of Berlin, TransPlated from the German, by MATILDA WRENCH. Rivington.
If the 'dim and partial ațmostphere through which remote évents and the characters of ancient men must of necessity be viewed, had nothing to counterbalance its disadvantages, the task of the historian ---the endeavour to separate the true from the false, would, indeed, be thankless, and even destitute of utility. Happily, however, to borrow a metaphor from things of sense, the mental telescope through which we examine the deeds of former ages, if it does not present to our view each particular point of the prospect with greater distinctness, yet widely increases our range, and brings much within our notice which our eye could not otherwise have embraced. At the distance of a few hundred years a child may sometimes decide with readiness and truth, upon a question which agitated all Europe, and on which the wisest minds and the most powerful intellects of the age in which it was mooted, wasted themselves in useless controversy.
Such reflections are especially apt to present themselves, as often as our attention is directed to the religious disputes of the middle ages. We can understand and admire the ambitious and finessing policy of the Church of Rome, and the art with which she by degrees grafted herself into the very essence of each European court; but it is melancholy to observe minds of the very first order exhausting their energies in the mazes of theroetic theology, and displaying zeal, activity, and talent, which would have adorned any age, without in the slightest degree civilizing that in which they flourished.
But though we may mourn over talents misapplied, there are still few pursuits more interesting than to contemplate the intellectual fencing of these spiritual gladiators ; nor is it useless to trace the effect of sincerity and the natural dignity of a mens conscia recti in securing for their possessors reverence and submission from the greatest potentates in their own times, and the universal esteem and admiration of succeeding eras.
VOL. II. (1843) No. I.
In these scholastic combats, the latter end of the eleventh and the commencement of the twelfth century was peculiarly prolific. Lanfranc, a Milanese monk, and Primate of England, a man celebrated for his learning and gentleness, attacked the doctrines of Berenger with unwonted acrimony. Anselm engaged in controversy with the subtle and eloquent Roscellinus, while St. Bernard, Abbot of Clairvaux, was confronted as the champion of the church, against numerous adversaries ; among the most celebrated of whom are found the names of Abelard, Gillabut de la Porre, Arnold of Brescia, and Petude Bruys. Upon some of these controversies there will be occasion to animadvert, as they successively present themselves; but in the mean time a short sketch of the principal events in the life of St. Bernard may not be misplaced.
The youthful Bernard appears, from the testimony of his biographers, to have been peculiarly happy in his domestic relations. His father, Jecelin, or according to Du Pin, Jeschelin, was lord of the village of Fontaine in Burgundy; and if there were no peculiar marks of excellence in his character, at all events he appears to have been an inoffensive man, and an indulgent father. But Alethe, his mother, was a woman of no ordinary stamp, and was imbued with religious impressions almost amounting to enthusiasm. Six sons and one daughter testified by their useful and well-ordered lives her tender care and affection. But it was upon the third of these—the future abbot-that they were more peculiarly lavished. Even before his birth a dream-vision assured his mother that it was no ordinary being that she was about to usher into the world. The notion of becoming the mother of catellum totum candidum in dorso subrufrum et latrantem," (for such the dream predicated,) appeared, to say the least of it, a dubious blessing! The venerable adviser, however, to whom Alethe applied for consolation, ingeniously asserted "that the dream was a happy one ; for the whelp which was to be born, should watch over the house of God, and should bark furiously against the enemies of the faith."
The reassured Alethe, satisfied with this prophecy, conceived the greatest affection for her yet unborn babe, and inwardly determined to spare no pains to verify the flattering prediction. To this end she sent the young Bernard to be educated at Châtillon, where the boy speedily gave promise of the excellence to which he subsequently attained. Quickly outstripping his companions in the literature of the age, he spent that leisure time which his comrades consumed in idleness or mischief, in quiet meditation or religious exercises. As might be expected, this course of life in a mere child did not improve his health; and we accordingly find the youthful saint before long stretched upon the bed of sickness. Being in great pain, a little girl was sent to his bedside to amuse him in singing ; but Bernard perceiving that her songs were of a light and worldly nature, sternly
and with great marks of indignation, drove her away. The excitement consequent upon this action, adds the superstitious biographer who records the anecdote, overcame the disease, and Bernard rose from bis bed free from pain.
Alethe died when St. Bernard was still a youth ; but he was old enough to appreciate her excellence and his loss; and the remembrance of her parting wishes were of use to him subsequently, in determining him to retire from the world. From his mother's death, indeed, he began seriously to entertain this design, and to search about for the most suitable spot, whither to retire and dedicate himself to the service of God. The monastery of the Cistertians appeared to present peculiar advantages to one so desirous of mortifying the flesh, from its extreme poverty and the peculiar austerity of its regulations. Two hours after midnight, the unhappy Benedictines were aroused to vigils, -at daybreak matins were performed, while the intervening time was consumed in pious meditations or holy discourse. Neither did the stated occupations of the day belie the promise of its commencement, but consisted of alternate periods of devotion and manual labour.
The friends and relations of our youthful recluse in vain combated his design. The image of his sainted mother continually appeared to his excited imagination, urging him on to the sacrifice. The same appearance was seen also by several of his brothers, who in consequence not only desisted from their opposition, but even agreed to follow him to his retreat. Guido alone, the eldest, who was married, and had a large family, hesitated to take so vigorous a step, without the concurrence of his wife, who stoutly opposed a measure which would separate her from her husband. Bernard, enraged at her opposition, prophecied her speedy illness in the event of her non-compliance. Her husband, whose eagerness to escape from the matrimonial yoke is somewhat amusing, determined upon the desperate measure of resigning all his property and working for his bread, in order to try the subduing effect of hardship and poverty. As might be expected, the unfortunate lady, unused to such privations, fulfilled the predictions of her stern brother-in-law, and fell ill. Upon this she gave up the useless struggle, and retired into a religious house.
It was in the year 1113 that Bernard, at the age of two-and-twenty, submitted himself cheerfully, and even with eagerness, to the severe rule of St. Benedict. He took with him more than thirty of his companions, who emulated his zeal if they could not share all his privations. And although it was doubtless his design in thus enrolling himself among an order known only at that time for its poverty and ascetic rigour, to separate himself for ever from the world, it will be seen that the Divine will was that the name of St. Bernard should be bruited in courts and palaces, and that his dictum should be decisive in questions of the greatest moment.
In the monastery of Citraux, Bernard remained for three years, and many are the miracles and wonders said to have been performed by him even at this early period. These, however, it would be tiresome to enumerate ; but the account of the conversion of his only sister appears
too curious and characteristic to be omitted. Hombeline, for such was her name, determined shortly after her marriage, upon paying her brother a visit in his retirement, probably with a lurking hope of exciting in his mind, regret, if not envy, at the sight of the splendour of her fortunes. With this view she arrayed herself in her most costly attire, and with a great crowd of attendants, presented herself at the door of the monastery. Bernard, who often appears to have allowed his zeal to outrun his amiability, on being told of the manner of her arrival, did not content himself with refusing to see her, but broke out into curses against her vanity and luxuriousness. Hombeline, overwhelmed with confusion, burst into tears, and touchingly exclaimed, " although I am a sinner, for such Christ died! Because I am a sinner, on that account, the more I require the counsel and conversation of good men. If my brother in truth despises my body, let not the servant of God despise my soul! Let him come and give me his commands. Whatever he bids me, that I am prepared to do." Relying on this promise, her brother gave way and went out to her; and finding he could not prevail on her to abandon her husband, contented himself with interdicting the pomps and vanities of the world, and particularly that of dress, to which the lady seems to have been peculiarly given. In the selfdenying course thus prescribed to her, Hombeline persisted during the remainder of the life of her husband, and after that event retired to the nunnery of Juilly.
Clairval, the scene of St. Bernard's future ministrations, was formerly known by the less auspicious name of Vallis Absinthialis (Valley of Wormwood). Here, during the space of fifteen years from his abbotical ordination, "the Last of the Fathers," as he is emphatically called, devoted his energies to the reformation of abuses in the church, and the performance of his active duties as a monk. His ascetic severities, however, soon reduced him to such a state of emaciation and debility, as almost totally to unfit him for his position. Made sensible from this warning of the sinfulness of such extreme mortifications, he from that time somewhat relaxed from the severity of the discipline to which he formerly subjected himself.
The name and reputation of St. Bernard was by this time widely spread; but the boldness which he displayed in expostulating with prelates of the highest rank, when he perceived anything in their conduct which he deemed inconsistent with their position, was by no means acceptable in the eyes of the papal see. That power, ever jealous at the appearance of over-righteousness in any of its children, directed its chancellor, Heimerich to convey to the energetic abbot a
friendly hint that such interference in extrinsic matters, did not become his position as a monk. Bernard, whose ardent zeal could ill brook interference, and who, it is probable, had he lived a few centuries later, would have been equal to the position of even Luther himself, justified his conduct with considerable spirit, though with that deference to the court of Rome, which his opinion of the divine origin of papal authority required. But at this time he was diverted from rebuking the irregularities of the dignitaries of the church, and thereby, as he conceived, watching over her true interests, by a controversy in which he engaged, in a quarter which touched him more nearly as a monk and the superior of an order.
Peter the Venerable, as he is usually called, the well-known Abbot of Cluni, was a man who united many of Bernard's own virtues to the additional merit of a gentle spirit and mild demeanour. Such a man, however estimable, was not well fitted to coerce the luxury for which the Cluniac monks began by this time to be especially distinguished. St. Bernard, while he mercilessly reproved the worldliness and luxury of distant orders, was not likely to abstain from animadverting upon the indecorous splendour of a monastery which had ever affected a bitter rivalry to his own. His strictures, accordingly, enforced with the additional sting of truth, so aggrieved the Cluniac brethren, that one of their abbots charged Bernard with having maliciously slandered their order. This remonstrance gave occasion to his celebrated " Apologia ad Guilielmum abbatem," in which he chastised the vanity and extravagance of the monks of Cluni, with all the severity of his powerful pen. Notwithstanding however this unfortunate rivalry between their two orders, Peter the Venerable, with a candour and moderation which does him infinite honour, not only continued upon friendly terms with the Abbot of Clairval, but even professed the greatest admiration for his character and virtues.
But the time was now come when it became the fortune of Bernard to play a more important part on the stage of Europe, than exposing the mal doings of monks, or the peccadilloes of bishops. Upon the death of Pope Honorius II., which occurred in the year 1130, a dispute arose with respect to the succession. Sixteen of the cardinals instantly elected Gregory, cardinal of St Angelo, afterwards called Innocent II. ; while the remaining thirty nominated Peter of Leon, under the name of Anacletus. This latter pretender, who was of Jewish descent, and whose private character was not irreproachable, carried with him almost the whole of Italy, from his immense wealth and extensive influence. The contemporary historians of the time, with scarcely an exception, espouse the cause of Innocent II., although the relative number of votes, and the more exact observation of forms in his rival's election, would lead a modern to give the preference to Anacletus.
