February 1, 2013 One Guys Opinion
At first blush the idea of a zombie version of "Romeo and Juliet" might sound like a terrible idea—okay, does sound like a terrible idea. But Jonathan Levine pulls it off with considerable agility and even sweetness in "Warm Bodies," aided in no small measure by a winning cast.
Adapting Isaac Marion's young adult novel, Levine ("The Wackness," "50/50") finds precisely the right way to treat the premise, avoiding a point-by-point, slavish translation of Shakespeare into genre-movie terms but retaining enough of the source (the heroine's name—Julie—though the zombie hero can remember only that his starts with an R, along with a balcony scene) to make its indebtedness cheerily obvious. And the tone he adopts, despite some serious undercurrents (like the character of Julie's father General Grigio, who's constructed a non-zombie oasis in the middle of the city and is determined to defend it at all costs), is overall surprisingly light and whimsical. That's a blissful contrast to the deadly earnestness of the inter-species romance of "Twilight" and its ilk.
Of course, Levine couldn't sustain the picture's conceit for long were it not for a cast who can carry it. Nicholas Hoult, a child actor who won plaudits for his work in "About a Boy" (2002) and more recently showed he was making the transition to adult roles well with an excellent supporting turn in "A Single Man," is extraordinary as R. He's helped by the amusingly deadpan narration Levine has provided for the character, which Hoult delivers in wry voice-over. But he's also a nimble physical presence, nailing the zombie gait but, more importantly, sensitively capturing the subtle changes the fellow experiences after meeting Julie (spunky Teresa Palmer).
That happens when the girl leaves her father's walled compound along with a small band, including her boyfriend Perry (Dave Franco), to collect needed medical supplies from the devastated areas occupied by those they call the "Corpses"—both zombie-like types like grunting R and his best buddy M (Rob Corddry), who will eat the brains of the living to enjoy experiencing their memories, and even more downgraded specimens, the skeletal Bonies, who will devour anything with the slightest glimmer of life remaining. When the explorers fall prey to the Corpses, R saves Julie from being eaten after he's consumed Perry's brain and takes her to the relative safety of his idiosyncratic abode in a junked airplane that he's filled with items he's collected and hoards—like old LPs that he plays for his houseguest (with the songs providing amusing counterpoint to the action).
That includes R's increasing recovery of his humanity in light of the feeling he has for Julie—which includes a growing ability to speak again, though haltingly—and her gradual warming to him. Soon they're off on a journey back to her father's compound, and though they're separated on the way, he follows her there despite the danger after he learns—from Corddry and the other Corpses who are undergoing transformation to more human status, too—that the Bonies are planning a massed assault. Despite the misgivings of Julie's father—whose actions allow for something akin to Shakespeare's tragic finale, though with the happy twist Levine's take on the story demands—the humans and the increasingly humanized Corpses find they have a good deal in common.
Visually the film creates a convincingly dystopian world for this tale to take place in. The production design by Martin Whist is aces, especially in view of what must have been a comparatively modest budget, with many witty details on the edges of the frame, and it's complemented by Javier Aguirresarobe's widescreen cinematography, which uses a bleached-out look to the images while allowing nice touches of color, like R's tattered red hoodie.
In the movement to put new spins on old horror-movie conventions, makers of zombie pictures have been among the most inventive. With "Zombieland" Ruben Fleischer turned the genre toward screwball action comedy, and now Levine pushes it in a surprisingly charming and funny direction. "Warm Bodies," like Hoult's R, occasionally stumbles along the way, but for the most part it's a jaunty, even touching journey.

The Elder Interview
Age-Friendly Manchester: Amplifying the Voice of Older People in Society
Part of the Age-Friendly Manchester programme since its inception in the late '90s, Susan Cooley has been at the forefront of the city's move to age inclusivity. In 2010 Manchester was granted Age-Friendly status by the World Health Organization – becoming the first UK city to gain this recognition. She talks to us about how far Manchester has come, and how far there is still to go in realising the vision of a genuinely equal community where everyone feels they have a place.
What is Age-Friendly Manchester and how did it come about?
We've had a huge ambition to make Manchester an age-friendly city since the end of the 1990s. Back then I was the committee Chair of our social services, with responsibilities for older people.
Working with the then-Government on the Better Government for Older People initiative, we launched our Valuing Older People work programme in 2003. The ten-year Manchester Ageing Strategy followed in 2009 - and was recently updated in 2017.
Age-Friendly Manchester came out of this work. After consulting with our Valuing Older People board members, it was agreed that the name should be changed to the Age-Friendly Manchester programme, in order to reflect our links with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the WHO ageing concept.
This concept includes working with our partners and organisations on eight domains for healthy ageing: civic participation and employment, respect and social inclusion, social participation, community support and health, communication and information, housing, transport, outdoor space and buildings.
We chose to place our work programmes under the equalities work stream, and we did that very deliberately because all of us, whatever age we are, are citizens first and foremost - and we wanted to reflect that in the work.
Importantly, our work is about inclusion – not just about older people, but intergenerational work and bringing generations together, especially in the work we do around combating loneliness and isolation.
Why was Manchester one of the earliest and most successful adopters of the age-friendly city concept?
We'd been working toward becoming an age-friendly city long before the WHO designation, and we had decided, as I mentioned, that our strategy was going to be as much about equality as it was about health and social care, per se.
"My idea of what makes something 'age-friendly' has changed as I age, myself. I've come to realise that it is much more about having a voice, being heard and being seen."
We also knew that if we wanted to have an age-friendly city, where people wanted to live and which had strategies to help people be more resilient as they age we also needed to work with partners across Manchester.
Any real change couldn't just involve local authorities focusing on social care - there had to be a whole wider engagement in public life, culture and everything else that goes toward making people emotionally happy and being able to age well in their lives.
Also, to be able to change policy and practice as a city, it was clear we would need research evidence to help to influence and persuade our partners. As such, we have worked from the beginning in close collaboration with the universities – as part of the Manchester Institute for Collaboration into Research on Ageing (MICRA).
How far have you come and how far do you have to go toward becoming a truly age-friendly city?
When we started the Age-Friendly Manchester journey I was in my late 40s, and I am now coming up for 67, so I have grown with this programme over the years. And interestingly, my ideas of what makes something 'age-friendly' has changed as I age, myself.
I've come to realise as I've got older that being age-friendly is more about having a voice, being heard and being seen than anything else. When I was younger people used to say to me that as you get older no one really wants to listen to your voice - and I've come to learn the truth of this.
Too often the culture of large organisations ignores the contribution that older people can make, fails to acknowledge our needs – and even overlooks our spending power.
How do you amplify the voice of older people in society through the programme?
Whatever work we undertake we start by consulting with older people and listening to them, wherever they are, and we ask what they think will help us to make their area age-friendly – because what works for people in one part of the city, may not be the same as in other parts.
"We have to learn to shout louder as older people - and people have to start listening to our voice."
To further this, we've set up local neighbourhood networks in Manchester which sit well with our locality health networks.
It's important to recognise that "the elderly" is not one big homogenous group though, and listening to the voices of older people in our various communities and recognising that our ageing population is made up from three or possibly four generations is vital. People are not just an "age" - they all have different experiences and expectations for the later years of their life.
The thing that comes through loud and clear in all our work though is that older people want to stay involved. They want to be included – in their community and society.
Those who contribute to our local networks are also free to attend our twice-yearly Manchester Older People's Forum. Here, we try to fill the Town Hall with as many older people as we can to talk about the things that are happening in the city.
It's also a really useful opportunity if we've got big areas of policy change happening, allowing us to talk to our older people about whatever is on the table, and get feedback.
We also have an Older People's Board - our steering group if you like - made up of people from the forum, local networks and some people who are appointed because they have expertise in certain areas.
This meets on a regular basis with council officers and people involved with transport, health and culture and many aspects of the life of our city.

I don't by any means think that's 'the voice of older people' box ticked, but we're learning all the time, and I am sure as the networks grow we'll have even more ways of hearing people.
How important is awareness raising in terms of attitude change, and how do you do it?
It's incredibly important, and we do it in a number of ways – from celebrating and highlighting the work that so many older people do in families and local communities to challenging employers to employ older people and encouraging them to adopt flexible working that can reflect the caring responsibilities that many older people have.
The other big thing we do to help change attitudes among older people themselves in Manchester is our Cultural Champions programme. Manchester has theatres, art galleries, special interest groups – and lots of other rich cultural resources.
However, we found that older people from the outskirts weren't coming in to use them and that even the older population living in the city weren't really experiencing what was on offer either.
When we started to talk to older people about why that was, they said they felt uncomfortable and that they didn't feel included. So we got older people together with the city's big arts organisations to talk about how to include older people, and it developed from there.
We now have Cultural Champions, people who experience what's on offer in the city and then go and spread the word. They help the theatres and the galleries to promote the work that is happening in the city.
From this awareness programme alone, for example, the Royal Exchange Theatre has developed an amazing Elders Company.
What are you most proud of in the Age-Friendly Manchester programme – and what is the biggest challenge to come?
I am very proud that the work we began all that time ago is now one of the priorities of the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham - and that this year, the WHO has also designated Greater Manchester as an Age-Friendly Area.
I am also proud that this city was one of the first partners to collaborate with the Campaign to End Loneliness.
We have great foundations that we are building on, but there is still a massive job to do. The biggest challenge for me has been - and still is - how to reach the people we haven't yet reached.
Something I find a real challenge is that although Manchester is recognised nationally and internationally as age-friendly, there are still some people across our city and in our region who feel excluded.
Equality and access to healthy ageing can be very different, and you have to be realistic about listening to what people actually want. It wouldn't be right to say to people in some parts of Manchester that we're offering you X and Y because the people in this other area think it's great.
How will you know when you've achieved a truly inclusive, equal city regarding age?
This answer changes for me as I get older. What I would really like is for younger people to start talking about older people's issues so that we all think about what the needs and wants are, hear the voices of older people and break down the silos of age.
We've got to get rid of this cloak of invisibility. We have to learn to shout louder, and people have to start listening to the voice of older people.

2022 Is the Year for a Space Summit
A disturbing Russian weapons test is yet more proof that new rules are needed.
By W. Robert Pearson, a fellow in the Rethinking Diplomacy Program at Duke University's Center for International and Global Studies, and Benjamin L. Schmitt, a postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard University and a senior fellow for Democratic Resilience at the Center for European Policy Analysis.

If most of us don't think much about what happens above our heads in space, the Russian military just blew up that complacency. On Nov. 15, Russia conducted a direct-ascent anti-satellite test that blew Kosmos-1408, a derelict Russian spy satellite, into more than 1,500 pieces of space debris. These pieces of satellite, in turn, have the potential to "generate hundreds of thousands of pieces of smaller orbital debris," according to U.S. Space Command. The successful test of Moscow's new anti-satellite weapons system is a major escalation of military operations in space, launching a new category of weapons technology not previously used by Russia. Moscow has demonstrated its improved capability to destroy satellites from the ground without warning.
The new weapon, known as PL-19 Nudol, has been in development for years by Almaz-Antey, a Russian defense contractor under U.S. and European Union sanctions introduced after Russia's 2014 invasion of Ukraine. The weapon has two key capabilities: It can operate as an anti-ballistic missile system in Earth's upper atmosphere but can also reach space to destroy satellites in low Earth orbit. Capable of being deployed from a mobile launch platform, the missile carries a so-called kinetic kill vehicle that intercepts the satellite target. The resulting collision is sufficient to smash the satellite into pieces even without a conventional explosive payload.
By creating a new field of dangerous space debris in low Earth orbit, the Russian test also poses a threat to civilian and military satellites as well as other orbital structures, such as the International Space Station (ISS). Within hours of the incident, government agencies and astrophysicists warned that new debris could collide with spacecraft large and small for decades to come. The hazard to other space assets was only increased by targeting Kosmos-1408: At almost 5,000 pounds, it's a giant by satellite standards. Its orbit—now the orbit of a dispersing cloud of debris—is less than 60 miles above the ISS and less than 60 miles below several commercial constellations, including SpaceX's Starlink fleet. Collision risks to ongoing space operations were immediate, endangering U.S., Russian, and German personnel aboard the ISS as well as Chinese personnel aboard Beijing's Tiangong space station.
Especially alarming was the absence of any notice given by the Kremlin to the rest of the world in advance of the test. Apparently, not even Russia's own personnel aboard the ISS received any warning. "This is pitiful that the Russians would do this," NASA administrator Bill Nelson told the New York Times. Immediately after the satellite was destroyed, NASA told ISS personnel to conduct shelter-in-place drills to prepare for a potential collision. NASA implemented further procedures to duck and dodge danger based on a calculation that the ISS would pass "through or near the cloud every 90 minutes." Likewise, Russia's test debris' close proximity to SpaceX's satellites requires them to take evasive action.
As space becomes more intensely used, geopolitical tensions can escalate on many fronts.
The event is a call to action on two fronts: ensuring the safe use of near-Earth orbit and dealing with the dangerous escalation of anti-satellite technology.
The U.S. State Department condemned the test as reckless, but Washington has not yet taken or proposed any further action. This dithering is unfortunate, given the test is part of a wider complex of intimidation by Moscow, including military brinksmanship in Ukraine and the weaponization of energy, cyber, and migration issues. As U.S. President Joe Biden engages with Russian President Vladimir Putin over Ukraine, Moscow's ongoing destabilization of space must also be on the agenda.
Bilateral U.S.-Russian engagement aside, the establishment of regulatory norms for space activities is a global challenge requiring a multilateral approach. So far, U.S. diplomacy seems stuck in neutral. Russia and China, meanwhile, continue to try to exempt themselves from military constraints in space. Some experts have surmised that the timing of the Russian space weapon test could be an effort to demonstrate a new strategic capability before the establishment of norms could limit future testing.
Washington, working with allies and partners, should seize the Russian test as an opportunity to galvanize and shape international opinion on space sustainability going forward. Leveraging the United States' extensive convening power—as demonstrated by the Biden administration's recent Summit for Democracy—Washington should call for a global summit for space security in 2022.
Pressure is already building on the administration. Recognizing the dual danger demonstrated by Russia's anti-satellite test, a bipartisan group of U.S. senators called on the U.S. National Space Council to initiate international discussions on a set of norms for "responsible behavior in space." On Dec. 1, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris called for "rules and norms on safety and security, on transparency and cooperation, to include military, commercial, and civil space activity" on the same day the White House unveiled a new U.S. Space Priorities Framework. That document, however, did not define any new international mechanisms to achieve those objectives beyond boilerplate language about "cooperation" with "allies and partners" and the need to engage "with strategic competitors in order to enhance stability in outer space." These cut-and-paste phrases usually mean no real action is forthcoming. There is little indication the administration has sufficiently prioritized the coming decade's growing space security challenges.
Fortunately, recent progress on another transnational threat—climate change—offers valuable insight on how to proceed. Action was possible when citizens, scientists, activist groups, and governments around the world came together to combine compelling evidence with powerful public diplomacy. The combination of proof of harm, public awareness, and global diplomacy led to progress. The same formula and format—a global summit—can be used to address the urgent need to establish global norms for space's use.
Just as one country's unilateral actions can destroy the safe and peaceful use of the Earth's orbit, cooperation on common rules and norms on the beneficial use of space is the only rational path. As space becomes more intensely used, geopolitical tensions can escalate on many fronts: This week, Beijing lodged a United Nations complaint against SpaceX, claiming its space station needed to avoid Starlink spacecraft twice this year.
The United States has the convening power, strategic vision, and sense of responsibility to rally nations and multilateral institutions to deal with global issues before they reach crisis levels. It would be disastrous if the world's major space powers—Russia, China, and the United States—got caught in such a spiral of misjudgment and distrust that they saw preemptive military escalation as their only option. The right consequence from the Russian test is for the Biden administration to move establishing space norms to the top of its international agenda. A good place to start would be a global summit for space security in 2022.

Why Russia Tested Its Anti-Satellite Weapon
If regulation of space weapons is coming, Putin wants to be ahead of the pack.


Dearest True Parents, words cannot express our gratitude for the challenges you overcame to offer us the Holy Marriage Blessing. We are committed to fulfill our responsibility here on earth. Whenever I feel discouraged, your words keep me on this path. How eternally grateful we are you your Holy Scriptures.
What an incredible celebration. True Mother's words to True Father were so liberating. "Father, from here on after, you have nothing to worry about. We will fulfill our responsibility at all costs. Therefore, we hope and pray that you will now be free to go and come as you please, and to comfort God, our Heavenly Parent, who has been lonely until now, in the eternal Garden of the Original Heart." True Mother's whole countenance changed after the ceremony. She had been so serious about offering these three years to True Father and to Heaven. Hallelujah.
Congratulations True Father in your Third Anniversary of your Seong Hwa Ceremony. We promise that we going to fulfill our responsibility. We Love you and we miss you True Parents.

Q: Is it safe to start an activity, which returns data using setResult(intent, code), with startActivity()? I start an activity with startActivityForResult() at few places and with startActivity() at few other places. My new activity sets result using setResult() method. Will I be getting any error and is it a good practice to do this?

A: You can do this. It is no problem. If you don't need the result in the calling Activity, then you don't need to launch the Activity with startActivityForResult(). This is analogue to the following in Java:
// A method that does something on Monday, and returns a boolean result indicating
//    whether it did something or not
boolean doSomethingOnMonday() {
    if (monday) {
        // Do something here and tell the caller that we did it
        ...
        return true;
    }
    // Don't do anything. Tell the caller that we didn't do anything
    return false;
}

and you can use it like this:
boolean monday = doSomethingOnMonday();

or like this:
if (doSomethingOnMonday()) {
    ...
}

or like this:
// Do something on Monday, but I don't care if we did it or not, so ignore the
//    method's return value
doSomethingOnMonday();

Educators Revisit Girls' Loss of Math, Science Interest
Some Suggest Employing Varied Teaching Strategies to Motivate Students
Researchers, psychologists, and educators have spent years trying to decipher the riddle of nature vs. nurture, and when the topic is male and female students' abilities in math and science, the arguing never stops.
Girls' seeming loss of interest in the subjects as they move from elementary school through graduation—even as their overall achievement in those areas has risen—has long vexed administrators, teachers, and others. Now, many educators are re-examining the issue, as the fallout persists from comments by Harvard University President Lawrence H. Summers on the relationship between gender and aptitude.
In a speech at a conference on women and minorities in science and engineering in January, Mr. Summers addressed the issue of the dearth of tenured women professors in those areas at top universities. He speculated that differences in "intrinsic aptitude" between males and females, particularly among the highest-achieving performers, could be a potential cause for that shortage, among other reasons.
Join our readers' discussion, "The Gender Gap in Math and Science."
While his remarks were directed at the postsecondary world, they underscored the frustration of many precollegiate educators over what they see as the real issue: the tendency of girls to become less attracted to science and mathematics as they progress in school.
That topic was a theme at the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics' annual meeting, held in Anaheim, Calif., last month. Encouraging young women to stay interested in math—the backbone of many science disciplines—requires teachers to work to dispel stereotypes about who can do well in that subject and related fields, some at the gathering said.
Middle-Grades Drop-Off
"Math, as a discipline, opens and shuts more doors for men and women than any other content area we've got," NCTM President Cathy L. Seeley said in an interview. "Whether it's in science, engineering, or technology, … it's tremendously important that a person be well-armed with math if they're going to have options in their lives."
The Gender Gap
Average Scores on the 2004 Advanced Placement tests show male students outperforming their female counterparts in several math and science exams, in which the maximum score is 5.
3.23 Biology 2.90
3.09 Calculus AB 2.82

The waning enthusiasm among girls for math and science becomes most noticeable in middle school, many observers say. That disinterest has shown up on numerous reports, such as the Program for International Student Assessment and the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study, two widely publicized international studies.
At the high school level, boys achieve higher scores on several measures of academic achievement in math and science, such as Advanced Placement exams.
By the time they enter college, many young women have less appetite for the more technically oriented areas of science, data suggest. Forty-four percent of incoming male freshmen who intended to major in science chose engineering as their initial focus, compared with only 12 percent of females, federal data from 2002 show. Fifteen percent of the men chose computer science, compared with 3 percent of the women.
Women showed far more interest in the social and behavioral sciences and in the biological and agricultural sciences than their male counterparts did, according to that data.
It's not that girls aren't using math or high-level science skills, some academic experts say. "They're using it for different things," said Pamela Davis-Kean, an assistant research scientist at the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research, in Ann Arbor, who has studied gender issues.
Some researchers speculate that young women may shy away from more technically oriented science fields, such as engineering, because they regard those disciplines as providing few opportunities for social interaction. Societal influences, and other factors, may lead girls to value more group-oriented activities and work, those scholars suggest.
Bias a Factor?
Studies show that girls also have less confidence in their math and science abilities, and take less enjoyment from those subjects, than their male peers. Those self-doubts emerge despite the fact that girls, on average, consistently receive higher grades than boys in both math and science.
"Why do they think they're not good at it, even when they're getting A's and B's?" said Ms. Davis-Kean, who is completing a study that examines math grades of male and female students.
JoAnne B. Rodkey, the principal of Woodward Avenue Elementary School in DeLand, Fla., noticed a lack of assertiveness among girls in math and science and took steps to correct it. After seeing boys outperform girls in the two subjects—and vice versa in reading—on standardized tests, the school, a part of the 64,000-student Volusia County district, last year divided a portion of its student population at three grade levels into single-sex classes. She reasoned that the separation might improve performance.
"They don't take as many risks," Ms. Rodkey said of elementary school girls. "If they don't know the answer, they don't raise their hands. They want to know they're right. … The boys will raise their hands, even if they don't know the answer."
Some people say that girls are subtly, and often unintentionally, discouraged from pursuing careers in math and science by parents, teachers, and classmates. For years, adults suggested that girls were better suited to careers as nurses or secretaries, rather than as engineers or computer scientists, said Ruta Sevo, the program director of research on gender in science and engineering at the National Science Foundation, in Arlington, Va.
"There are unconscious biases and projections of stereotypes," Ms. Sevo said. "Girls can internalize those—'I don't need math; I'm not good at math.' "
Those stereotypes can be conveyed even if the teachers are female, she added. About 67 percent of middle school and 49 percent of high school teachers of math and science are women, according to recent estimates.
As Ms. Sevo and others point out, many of the long-standing gaps in academic achievement between girls and boys in math and science are closing. From 1990 to 2003, girls' math and science scores at various grade levels were generally only slightly lower than boys' on the National Assessment of Educational Progress.
In addition, girls are now more likely than boys to have taken several math and science courses by the time they graduate from high school, including geometry, Algebra 2, biology, precalculus, and chemistry, according to 2004 federal data. Boys are still more likely than girls to take physics and calculus.
But among the top-performing students on NAEP, the gap between boys and girls in math and science widened slightly. That pattern has also showed up in other research, and was noted by Harvard's Mr. Summers in his speech.
Differences at Issue
"It's problematic. We don't really understand it," said Joanne Rossi Becker, a professor of mathematics at California's San Jose State University, who has studied gender differences in that subject. She speculated that girls tend to do better on problem-solving exercises, while boys tend to perform better on the sort of computational and multiple-choice questions found on many exams.
In trying to cultivate girls' enthusiasm for math and science, some researchers argue, educators need to acknowledge basic genetic differences—namely, that brains are organized differently in males and females. Partly because of those differences, they say, boys and girls learn in different ways, and teachers should adjust accordingly.
Mr. Summers suggested that a "different availability of aptitude" among the highest-achieving men and women was a factor in the lack of women in tenured university science positions—perhaps more of a factor, he said, than discrimination.
Leonard Sax, a physician and psychologist, disputes that assertion. But he believes that distinct genetic differences exist in the way male and female brains function, and that educators who adhere to a gender-blind approach actually end up discouraging young women in such courses as physics, calculus, and trigonometry.
In his book Why Gender Matters, published earlier this year, Mr. Sax describes how boys, during a lesson on geometry and number theory, appear to benefit from a straightforward presentation of numbers from the beginning. But girls use a different portion of the brain to perform those exercises, one that is more connected to language and other functions, he says. Teachers should instead focus on more of a "real world" explanation of the numbers, he writes, in teaching females.
"Everything you do needs to be different, if you want to make math, physics, and computer science girl-friendly," Mr. Sax asserted in an interview.
He suggests that teachers use other gender-specific strategies. Girls tend to benefit when teachers look them in the eye during lessons, Mr. Sax maintains—a gesture that, he says, can be regarded as threatening by boys.
To meet the different needs of the sexes in a single class, teachers have to work "twice as hard," Mr. Sax acknowledged. That realization, he said, is part of what led him to found the National Association for Single-Sex Education, based in Poolesville, Md.
But others, such as Elizabeth S. Spelke, a Harvard University psychology professor, say there is scant evidence that differences in the structure of the male and female brains affect the way that the two sexes learn math, science, or other subjects. Ms. Spelke also discounts the idea that girls are more social than boys in their approach to learning.
A Menu of Approaches
"We don't have a male brain or a female brain; we have a human brain," she said, "with a whole lot of commonality."
Some educators, meanwhile, see a need for teachers to take a strong role in keeping both boys and girls keen on math and science. Ms. Rossi Becker of San Jose State, who has helped arrange workshops at her university to encourage girls to stay interested in math and science, advises teachers to offer students a mix of male and female role models who have succeeded in those fields. They should also make sure that girls take an active part in math and science classes, she said, in light of boys' tendency to be more assertive in such settings.
The NSF's Ms. Sevo encourages teachers to use more hands-on experiments and group activities in science classes, and to try to show the subject's potential to solve real problems—an approach she believes is more likely to appeal to girls.
To Ms. Seeley, the NCTM president, a diverse menu of classroom approaches is critical to drawing young women—and everybody else, too—to both subjects.
"When we teach by just telling, or lecturing, we miss a lot of people," she said. "We don't make math as interesting as we could."

Twenty-six years later, on January 1, 1988, the LCA joined with the American Lutheran Church (1960) and the Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches, (1978) to form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, which is today the largest Lutheran church body in the United States.
How many congregations have left the ELCA?
Since August 2009, according to the office of the ELCA secretary, over 600 congregations have left the ELCA through January 2011.
What is the leader of a Lutheran church called?
Elected heads are called presidents in some Lutheran bodies, such as the Lutheran Church– Missouri Synod and the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, while the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) uses the term bishop for its 65 synodical leaders.
What religion is close to Lutheran?
Along with Anglicanism, the Reformed and Presbyterian ( Calvinist ) churches, Methodism, and the Baptist churches, Lutheranism is one of the five major branches of Protestantism. Unlike the Roman Catholic Church, however, Lutheranism is not a single entity.

What Bible does the Lutheran Church use?
The Lutheran body to which I belong, The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) has a strong preference for the New Revised Standard Version ( NRSV ). Our Liturgical resources all use the NRSV, the Lutheran study Bible we use and the accepted text to use at seminary and I assume the colleges as well is the NRSV.
Can a woman be a pastor in the Lutheran Church?
The Lutheran Evangelical Protestant Church (GCEPC) has ordained women since its inception in the year 2000. Ordination of women is not a controversial issue in the LEPC/GCEPC. Women are ordained/consecrated at all levels, including deacon, priest, and bishop in the LEPC/GCEPC.
Can anyone take communion at a Lutheran church?
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America ( ELCA ) and its congregations practice open communion —meaning that Holy Communion is offered to all those who are baptized. In other Lutheran churches, the person must have received confirmation before receiving the Eucharist.
What are the two types of Lutherans?
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America was formed in 1988 by the merger of two major Lutheran denominations, the American Lutheran Church and the Lutheran Church in America, along with the much smaller Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches.
What do you call a Lutheran pastor?
A Lutheran cleric is usually called " pastor," which is the Latin for "shepherd," in imitation of Jesus as the Good Shepherd. Lutheran pastors are also called ministers, those who serve.
What is the difference between the Lutheran Church and the Baptist Church?
1) Both Lutheran and Baptist Churches believe in the same God, pertain to the same Bible, and hold communal gatherings. 2) Lutherans believe in the teaching of justification by faith alone; just like Baptists. 4) For Lutherans, there is no proper age to be baptized. For Baptists, the person has to be of age.

GlaxoSmithKline has begun distributing a medicine tagged with radio frequency identification (RFID) technology as part of a pilot project to help protect patient safety. The tags will be placed on all bottles of Trizivir (an HIV medicine) distributed in the United States. When scanned at close range, the tags will help verify that the medicine bottle contains authentic Trizivir. This specific medicine was selected for the project because it has been listed by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy as one of 32 drugs most susceptible to counterfeiting and diversion.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has asked the pharmaceutical industry to develop standards and pilot processes for RFID that may lead in the next few years to broad adoption and use of the technology. Earlier this year, Pfizer began distributing all bottles of Viagra with RFID tags. Click here to read more.
RFID uses a tiny silicon chip and antenna about the size of a postage stamp that is attached to each bottle of medicine. The chip stores a unique product code that reflects information about the drug's manufacturing and shipping history. The product code can be read by pharmaceutical wholesalers and pharmacists using a hand-held or stationary electronic device that is placed within 2-18 inches of the tag. The tag can be read by wholesalers when it is received from the manufacturer and when it is shipped to pharmacies, who would then record when they have received the medicine. This allows manufacturers to more precisely account for medicine as it moves through the distribution chain and to authenticate medicine at the point of dispensing.
The technology does not collect any patient information. The RFID tag contains information about the product only, not the patient. GlaxoSmithKline will not collect any personally identifiable information about patients through this technology.
A variety of other measures including packaging design have been taken by GSK and other manufacturers to discourage counterfeit medicines. RFID tagged bottles of Trizivir will begin appearing on pharmacists' shelves in mid-April.
GSK is working closely with the FDA to assess the technology and its prospects for reducing counterfeiting. The project has cost several million dollars. The testing of the RFID technology on additional products will be evaluated by GSK with guidance from the FDA as the Trizivir pilot progresses.
GSK has worked with IBM to design and build the technology in the pilot program, which allows GSK to tag each bottle with a unique product code. The tags themselves are not easily copied.

Workshop to help teachers make a stronger case for French language
They teach what Bloomberg Rankings has identified as the third-most-important business language in the world, after English and Mandarin. Yet, as budgets for public education continue to tighten, teachers of French are struggling to keep their programs off the chopping block in Wisconsin and across the United States.
An upcoming workshop at the University of Wisconsin–Madison aims to bring teachers of French in Wisconsin together to talk about these challenges and prepare them to be more effective advocates for French instruction.
While pointing out that Spanish remains the most popular world language taught in U.S. schools, the Bloomberg Rankings rates French a couple of notches higher in importance for business, according to a report published August 30, 2011. The measures used to calculate the business importance of a language included number of speakers, number of countries using it officially, "financial power" and education and literacy rates.
"French continues to be an important language in international business and communication, diplomacy, scientific discovery and achievement," says Gilles Bousquet, dean of the UW–Madison Division of International Studies, vice provost for globalization, and Pickard-Bascom Professor of French.
French is the official language of 29 countries on five continents and joins English as the official working languages of many international organizations, including the United Nations, UNESCO, NATO, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and the International Olympic Committee.
Yet, as school districts in Wisconsin and elsewhere grapple with shrinking budgets, many are cutting world-language offerings, often to a single language—usually Spanish.
In response to the declining support for their programs, teachers of French have mounted national campaigns through the American Association of Teachers of French, but they continue to be increasingly frustrated by those who wrongly portray French as lacking in relevance and a 'luxury' we can no longer afford.
"Americans who speak French well are usually surprised by the professional opportunities it offers," says Ritt Deitz, executive director of UW–Madison's Professional French Masters Program (PFMP).
UW–Madison's Division of International Studies and Center for Interdisciplinary French Studies are inviting French teachers to Madison for a half-day workshop, "Strength Through Networking: Making the Case for French," on Saturday, January 21, at the French House, 633 N. Frances St., the popular French-language student residence on Lake Mendota.
The workshop—from 9 a.m. through lunch—aims to prepare teachers to reach out and inform various constituencies—including students, parents, administrators, school boards and local media—about the practical uses of French.
Sessions will feature local and regional world language and international business experts who interact regularly with the French language. One panel will offer advice on identifying stakeholders, and another will focus on existing local and regional resources, including the many French-language business resources available through the University of Wisconsin.
The program will conclude with lunch at the French House and a presentation by Deitz on "The Case for French in a Post-Francophile America." The talk will include stories from the Professional French Masters Program, in which students apply their advanced proficiency in French to practical professional concentrations in business, education, European Union affairs, international development, international education, and media/arts/cultural production.
To sign up, teachers should email Andrew Irving, director of the French House, at atirving@wisc.edu. There is no charge for participation and lunch is included.

What do people mean when they say they need to be in a certain mood to watch a certain movie?
Isn't the movie's job to get you in the right mood so that you can watch it until the end?
Also is this a measure of how good a movie really is? I mean if it doesn't get you somehow involved into it, if it doesn't make you feel anything does that mean that the movie is bad?
I think, in general, there are no universally good or bad movies. As is with many things, there is that grey area that depends on so many variables like how much do you relate with the movie, how much do you like the actors or the story, how much do you really understand from the story, if it is told and shown to you in a confusing way and it's not that "in your face" kind of story, and so on.
These thoughts were sparked into my head when I was watching a movie with many important nominations at this year's awards. Usually, if I don't really get a movie, I do go and read reviews written by brighter minds than mine, to try and make sense of it and especially find out why is a certain movie so appreciated beyond my understanding. Maybe did I need to be in a certain mood to appreciate more that certain movie? Or does it more likely all come down to expectations about what a certain movie should be? Who knows. Either way, I try really hard to not label a movie as being bad, because I didn't get what the writers or the director was trying to say, because I know that would be a judgement error. I may not like it, but that does not mean it is a bad movie. As I said, I really try to make sense of it and finally appreciate the work that was done a bit more then I appreciated it when the movie ended.
Thing is, it does not bother me that I have to read more in order to appreciate a movie. Because beyond explanations and interpretations there may be certain fun trivia that could make me like a movie even more. I prefer this sort of a more-work procedure involving a movie, because it means that it sparked an interest and will not be forgotten soon. I grown to want to see movies with a challenging subject or with a different approach at representing an idea or a story. Films with that "in your face" kind of story and development started to bore me. I think this might be a bit arrogant from me or maybe is that my tastes in terms of movies are more likely changing. Or maybe a bit of both. But I do enjoy watching a more tricky movie and after it going online and searching for interpretations or explanations. I may be weird like that.
Am I making my life too complicated? Tell me in the comments.

This week's episode of Better Call Saul involved the revival of a sibling rivalry, a farewell to a tricked out Hummer, and a brief return to Slippin' Jimmy's old antics. Jimmy's older brother Chuck (Michael McKean) continues to struggle with his electromagnetic force affliction, and remains in his house, occupying his time by playing piano. Estranged from Jimmy, he is now provided with groceries and other necessities by Ernesto, an assistant supplied to him by Howard Hamlin. Hamlin visits Chuck at home under the guise of bringing him groceries and informs him of Jimmy's new job at Davis & Main. Chuck feigns excitement for Jimmy's career advancement, but it's clear that he's frustrated that Hamlin allowed this to happen. Chuck tells Hamlin he might come in to the office next week, and Hamlin responds to this with enthusiasm, though he again tells him "no pressure". Chuck attempts to resume his piano playing after Hamlin's departure, but is too consumed by Jimmy's new found success to do so.
Back at HHM, Kim (Rhea Seehorn) preps for a Sandpiper meeting and quickly moves folders around so that Jimmy ends up in the seat next to her. While reviewing the case, she coyly begins to play footsie with him under the table. Afterwards, they share a cigarette at their usual spot in the parking garage, and discuss Jimmy's new job and possible new house – which somehow turns into them fantasizing about their life together. Kim gifts him with a "World's 2nd Best Lawyer" travel mug, gives him a kiss, and he departs to receive his fancy new company Mercedes at the salon. As Jimmy bids farewell to the salon and settles into his new car, he glances up at the sunroof and smirks, a subtle reference to his arrest for performing a "Chicago Sunroof" years ago.
Meanwhile, a perturbed Mike (Jonathan Banks) is visited at work by Daniel in the ostentatious Hummer. Daniel complains to him about the robbery and his stolen baseball cards, and tells Mike that he's there to talk to the police. Mike eventually promises to retrieve the cards for him – at a cost – and pays Nacho (Michael Mando) a visit at his family's business. Though Nacho is initially hesitant and tells Mike to leave, they eventually cut a deal to have the cards returned to Daniel. Daniel painstakingly hands over his beloved Hummer to Nacho, who refers to it as "a school bus for 6-year-old pimps", then inches from Daniel's face, tells him ever so quietly (and terrifyingly) that their "business is concluded". This deal doesn't halt the police's interest, however, and Mike is forced to call in a favor.
Jimmy seems to be thriving at Davis & Main, impressing Cliff (Ed Begley Jr.) with his legal aptitude, and soaring through another Sandpiper meeting – until it's interrupted by Chuck. Chuck initially throws Jimmy off, but he quickly regains his confidence after a touch of support from Kim. Chuck tells Jimmy he came in because he had to "bear witness", but he doesn't stay long when he realizes how many electromagnetic forces are at work around him. Jimmy receives a call from Mike ("you still morally flexible?") and proceeds to accompany Daniel to the police station for questioning.
At the police station, Jimmy quickly fabricates an elaborate story of what was hidden in Daniel's secret wall space. The detectives attempt to push him to admit that he's a drug dealer, but Jimmy instead informs them of Daniel's wealthy gentleman friend, an "art patron", who provides for him in exchange for "digital media", and that the so-called robbery was all part of a lovers' spat. When they still don't let up about what these "fetish videos" might include, Jimmy confesses that the fetish is a "squat cobbler", which is lost on the detectives. After attempting to describe it using multiple pseudonyms for it, he explains that it's when a man sits in a pie and "wiggles around", and that Daniel partakes in a "crybaby squat". As the detectives stare back at him in disbelief, they eventually concede, looking back through the window at Daniel incredulously. As he departs with Daniel, Jimmy informs him of the catch – "you're gonna have to make a video".
Later, Jimmy brings a stack of pies to Kim's apartment, and they sit in her bed sharing one as he recounts his story. Things are lighthearted and funny until he brings up the video, which immediately concerns Kim – it means Jimmy has falsified evidence. She warns him about his risk of disbarment, and asks him if it's really worth it to jeopardize the best job he's ever had for a silly pro bono case. He keeps trying to shrug her off, but she tells him that she never wants to hear about things like this again. Jimmy assures her that she won't.
So what Breaking Bad references were tucked away in "The Cobbler"? There weren't many, but here are a couple references you might have missed.
Kim gifts Jimmy with a "World's 2nd Best Lawyer" travel mug as they discuss his new job.
This feels like a nice callback to Saul's famous "World's Greatest Lawyer" mug, first seen in Breaking Bad, Season 2, Episode 8, "Better Call Saul".
As Jimmy revels Kim with his triumph over pie, she can be seen wearing a University of the American Samoa sweatshirt.
In Breaking Bad Season 3, Episode 11, "Abiquiu", Skyler White examines Saul's diploma from the University of American Samoa in his office as she is introduced to him.
With the exception of Reddit user Budddy who claims to have spotted Gus Fring's car, and Mike's mention of Tuco Salamanca while conversing with Nacho, that's all we have this week for our Breaking Bad Easter eggs.

Q: Are some IP addresses more 'accepted' than others? I'm from Argentina and I know that some ISP, such as hotmail or other sites, block emails going out from our IP addresses, so now I bought a VPS in the US (from slicehost) with a fixed ip just for me and I want to know if for being a US IP will I have more chance to reach who I want instead being blocked?

A: Many ISPs register their dial-up and DSL/Cable modem pools in list of IPs that should never send emails. That way mail server can filter them out for spam knowing that they should never see valid emails from those IPs.
Also, if you don't have valid DNS (and valid reverse DNS and MX records), many email providers will block you as likely spammer.

A: Most emails blocked based on IP are either because that IP is on a known RBL (blacklist) or a company's own spam filters are blocking that IP (either through learning or through a "list" they subscribe to or are auto-updated with).
I'm guessing if it is a new public US IP you'll start out just fine.  But be sure and use email practices that will help prevent you getting blocked in the future.
Things like allowing people to unsubcribe to emails and other techniques will help if you are mass mailing emails out.  See here for help and suggestions: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=81126
If you are just sending out emails as a typical company would to customers, etc. then I think you'll be just fine with what you have purchased.

A: I don't know for sure what everybody out there does, but I kind of suspect that IP-based email blocking isn't so much about geolocation, blacklisting Argentina or whatever, as it's about whether the IPs in question have been used for sending spam or are actively being used for doing so.  Either way, if your IP number is just for you and nobody has been spamming from it, you should be okay.
Unless, of course, you start spamming from it, in which case you will be blacklisted promptly enough.

A: The question is, do they want you to reach them. Your US IP address might help you reach people inside the US but there are no guarantees and probably no addresses that aren't blocked by someone somewhere.
Some people are crazy and block just about everything. Some people do block geographically, but from their point of view this can seem reasonable if they are certain they won't receive email from certain locations (I have my doubts about this but... their email server their rules).
The thing to worry about with IP addresses if whether or not they have previously spammed. It's possible to get out of the "managed" DNS RBLs (for very small or crazy values of "possible" for some of the more extreme lists) but if a previous user of that address spammed from it and a bunch of sysadmins dropped the address into their local router's deny table then good luck with that one, I'm afraid.

A: Yes, IP addresses have different values. Addresses which were used by a spammer, for instance, are "tainted". They are in many blacklists and most blacklists are poorly managed or not at all so, in practice, these IP addresses have a lower value. Some people even suggested an evaluation system for IP addresses to reflect this.
The country of origin may be one of the inputs in a decision process: in the same way that some landlords do not rent to black people or some employers do not hire people with an arabic name. I remember a public meeting about spam, in Paris (France), where the AOL representative boasted "We blacklisted most of Africa".
But remember each destination site has its own policy and procedures so there is little chance that you will find a magic bullet, such as simply a change of IP address.

A: The different major ESP's use a lot of techniques to determine who to block and rate limit, but as others have mentioned it's usually independent of the geolocation of the IP. The most important thing for mail deliverability is reputation. Things that can impact reputation:

*

*how often your mails get marked as junk

*what you do with opt out requests

*do you have a constant stream of mail, or it sent in large chunks

*are you included on any publically available blacklists (spamhaus, spamcap, etc)

*do you have Domainkeys/SPF setup for your IP's

There are 3rd party tools like http://senderbase.org that you can use to help determine what kind of reputation your IP's have.
Also the major ESP's all provide support to help you with their deliverability to their customers (Hotmail's is located at http://postmaster.live.com for example.) Those teams can usually setup feedback loops with you so if a customer marks your mail as junk, they'll let you know so you can remove it from your lists.

A: There's another point to consider:

*

*IANA puts out (formerly) reserved IP ranges to RIR (Regional Internet Registrars, ICANN, RIPE, ARIN, ... - hope I didn't mix up the names).

*Good Sysadmins take care that unrouteable IPs can never ever reach their network, those (formerly) reserved IP addresses are such cases. Those IPs are blackholed on the firewall/router

*Lazy Sysadmins do that once in a lifetime and never ever update the list again

*Dutieful Sysadmins check the list regularly

*Really Lazy Sysadmins automate alerts that the blacklist needs to be changed thru some monitoring tool

*Brave Sysadmin take the automation a step further and generate their blacklist from a script so that no interaction is needed (I consider that brave because such things IMHO should be reviewed by a human)

Happened to us, we couldn't reach some US sites from european IPs becaus IANA put to /8 (IIRC) networks out in the wild which had been reserved up to that point in time. The people that ran the site didn't care about the blacklisted IPs and there was no way for us (and a couple of other people) to get to their site...


Description: This workshop provides a solid foundation for arborists of all skill and experience levels to aid in assessing why trees fail in storm events and improves their ability to assess risk.
There has been a proliferation of tree anchorage and tree biomechanics research in the last decade. Understanding why trees fail involves application of this recent research in order to discard outdated beliefs, generalizations, anecdotes, and industry myths and misinformation. Tree, root, and crown attributes, loads, weather, and tree biomechanics will be discussed in relation to wind storms.
The workshop and discussion will review, synthesize and integrate several research findings to try to understand how and why some trees fail, some do not, and some break along the trunk, while others uproot.


It was Mahatma Gandhi who told Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, if I am not mistaken: "Sardar, you are no longer the sardar I knew". Gandhi was referring to the partition of the country based on the two-nation theory which Jinnah was championing from his own end as a votary of Pakistan. But I do not know if history has also recorded the fact that initially Jinnah was an avowed advocator of an undivided, secular India. It is only when he felt that he was 'cheated' by the others did he start playing his cards for the two-nation theory. Perhaps he felt let down in the issue of leadership. He was not basically a fundamentalist, he was westernized in habits and spoke English with the occidental's gusto. So history took a new turn and the two nation theory came into existence with both Patel and Nehru capitulating, because it was capitulation that they wanted. Gandhi did not want this, and he personally went to Noakhali during the Hindu-Muslim riots on the eve and in the wake of the partition. Now there has been a quibble about Patel's role as a secularist with the Prime Minister and the chief minister of a state, not known to be exactly a lover of Muslims, looking at Sardar Patel from different perspectives. Patel may have been secular in his thought processes but he acceded to the demand for Pakistan, which was a clever ploy of Jinnah to wrest power from the two Congress leaders. Gandhi of course maintained an apolitical stance when it came to holding a political position such as that of the Prime Minister, but inside he was saddened. History has taught us a few lessons regarding the partition of the country and we can clearly see the fall outs today.
The logic of history took another course when East Pakistan was dismembered and Bangladesh came into being. Very few point out that the secession of the then East Pakistan was based on culture and language and not on religion. The identity question was that of culture and Not Islamic identity. As Tariq Ali pointed out in his breathtaking book: "Will Pakistan Survive" the question of a sovereign country in East Pakistan was on the premises of language, and how West Pakistan was grossly negligent of then East Pakistan, the geographical alienation accentuated the separation of the two countries. It is only when the Awami League actually was the majority in the elections, did the West come down on the hapless East, with militarism. The rest of course is history. Tariq Ali also points out that the intelligentsia of the country was in the then East (Pakistan).
History of course will not tell us what went on the innards of the minds of the political leaders, but it was basically a power sharing game. The leaders seemed ostensibly happy with this division, but historical forces thought otherwise, and this lead to a bloody revolt in Pakistan, with of course India's blessings and intervention.
Today when our leaders invoke the name of Sardar Patel, in two different ways, one wonders why in the first place the two nation theory was allowed to be made a concrete action plan. Was it only to satisfy egos, or was it because our political will was pliant, in the face of a thundering Jinnah? If as we profess now we are secular, this secularism could still have been maintained stoically with an undivided India. That Pakistan did not adopt a secular path has its historical fall outs today, with one wing of the government trying to cling tenaciously to a non partisanship and the other to a militarism, which flays any attempt towards even a semblance of democracy. The result is a mess which we witness. Tariq Ali's question was right, even if the country has survived, it is certainly in an intensive care unit!
India has survived because of the secular and democratic processes. India has survived all the blood baths, because the Indian is above non secularism, and religious divide. Which country can boast of five or six religions flourishing in a co-existent manner and at least three of them originating here? Even Christianity came to India in the seventh century. In the recent Durga Puja, one of the days fell on a Sunday. Here in Shillong, the Pujas went on blithely co existing with the church goers who meandered their ways to the Church. Which country in the world can boast of such a situation? I am not talking only of social festivals, I am talking of religious festivals, which which go hand in hand in our country among different religious denominations. It is surprising if not shocking that the Western world does not point this out with equanimity, India's religious and 'cultural' forbearance. They should be highlighting this, instead they highlight the divisiveness of the country.
If we take a partial view of history as our political leaders do, to harangue each other then we miss historical 'truths', we miss the holistic empowerment of our country which history has bestowed her with.
And in a lighter vein, if we look at historical 'ifs' then the undivided Indian cricket team, would vanquishing all other nations, in this imperial game. It is also a historical travesty that we produce some of the best writers of English in the world, both Pakistan and Bangladesh can boast of internationally qualified writers in English, using the language with felicity. In Bangladesh you have the inimitable and irrepressible Farah Ghuznavi, then you have stalwarts like Hanif Querishi, who has now migrated to the West, his origins being in Pakistan. Let our political leaders not forget that the freedom movement was lead by some English educated savvy people! The ones whose names languish in the jails in the Andamans, have their names largely forgotten in our historical memoirs. History after all is a collective memory ! Individual memories and assertions regarding history may warp truths.

Published on the Internet April, 1996...
I hope that when you are reading this, the legislation regarding the Communications Decency Act and this attempt at censoring the Internet is simply a bad memory. Perhaps you are researching a paper on how the Internet was almost killed by laws that would restrict all communication to the level appropriate for a very young child. But as I write this in April 1996, the Communications Decency Act is very much in force, and it scares me to think that it might stay that way.
I was recently talking to a high school class about computers and the Internet. The subject of censorship came up and I illustrated the problem with the following statement: "Want to know how I feel about censorship on the Internet? I really am pissed off."
Repeating that sentence in that classroom in front of those students was in bad taste, but it did not violate any laws. Sending that same statement to any one of those students by email would violate the Communications Decency Act because it contains a word that is classified as "indecent." The word used in a motion picture, for example, will guarantee that the film will not be suitable for young children, and the film will not get a G rating.
Including that word in this message and posting it on an Internet server where it is possible that a young person could read it violates the current law. Because I did that, I could now be fined and sent to jail for up to two years. I could be in jail, as you read this.
I also told the class that some people would like very much to eliminate all access to certain kinds of information. They are not only afraid of your seeing and knowing about ideas, they even want to prevent your access to facts and data that they personally find indecent or offensive.
As an example of how restrictive this is, you might try to find out how many abortions were performed in a particular year. This is a number. This number is not indecent; it is simply a number. Finding this particular number would in itself be a very interesting search because there are conflicting data. Under the current laws, you would be blocked from using the Internet to consult organizations like Planned Parenthood and others that could tell you what they think the number is. If you wrote a paper about your search for this number, and then sent your report to someone over the Internet, you could be in trouble. If something in your writing was judged to be a violation of the Communications Decency Act, you could also go to jail or be fined.
I have been a writer most of my life and I have bumped up against censorship more than once. I have had late-night phone calls from those who threatened to beat me up if I didn't stop writing my opinions about certain people and their ideas. Writing software is a little safer. So far nobody has wanted to end my life or harm me because of a program I wrote. Today, they only want to prevent me from telling you how I feel about censorship on the Internet. And I really am pissed off.

How to Make a Plant Love You
Written By: Summer Rayne Oakes
Read By: Kaleo Griffith, Simon Sinek and Summer Rayne Oakes
Cultivate Green Space in Your Home and Heart
Read by: Summer Rayne Oakes, Simon Sinek & Kaleo Griffith
5 Hours and 2 Minutes	Imprint: Penguin Audio Genre: Gardening - House Plants & Indoor Release Date: July 09, 2019
Summer Rayne Oakes, an urban houseplant expert and environmental scientist, is the icon of wellness-minded millennials who want to bring nature indoors, according to a New York Times profile. Summer has managed to grow 1,000 houseplants in her Brooklyn apartment (and they're thriving!) Her secret? She approaches her relationships with plants as intentionally as if they were people.
Everyone deserves to feel the inner peace that comes from taking care of greenery. Beyond the obvious benefits--beauty and cleaner air--there's a strong psychological benefit to nurturing plants as a path to mindfulness. They can reduce our stress level, lower our blood pressure, and improve our overall outlook. And they offer a rare opportunity to find joy by caring for another living being.
When Summer Rayne Oakes moved to Brooklyn from the Pennsylvania countryside, she knew that bringing nature indoors was her only chance to stay sane. She found them by the side of the road, in long-forgotten window boxes, at farmers' markets, and in local garden shops. She found ways to shelve, hang, tuck, anchor, secure, and suspend them. She even installed 150-foot expandable hose that connects to pipes under her kitchen sink, so she only has to spend about a half-hour a day tending to her plants--an activity that she describes as a "moving meditation."
This is Summer's guidebook for cultivating an entirely new relationship with your plant children. Inside, you'll learn to:
* Pause for the flowers and greenery all around you, even the ones sprouting bravely between cracked pavement
* Trust that your apartment jungle offers you far more than pretty décor
* See the world from a plant's perspective, trading modern consumerism for sustainability
* Serve your chlorophyllic friends by learning to identify the right species for your home and to recreate their natural habitat (Bonus: your indoor garden won't die!)
When we become plant parents, we also become better caretakers of ourselves, the people around us, and our planet. So, let's step inside the world of plants and discover how we can begin cultivating our own personal green space--in our homes, in our minds, and in our hearts.
"In her book, Summer Rayne will upend so much more than your approach to plant care. You'll learn how to better care for and treat people—starting with yourself. Highly recommended for anyone who struggles with the emptiness of modern living."
--Hannah Bronfman, author of Do What Feels Good
"I don't care what color your thumbs are —Summer Rayne Oakes will not only inspire you to connect with nature by taking care of plants but open your eyes to how even the humblest of them takes care of us."
--Michael Brune, Executive Director, Sierra Club
"A beautiful, deeply researched celebration of the power that plants have to change our lives. In this compelling book, Summer Rayne Oakes invites us into a greener, more connected world, and gives us the tools to cultivate an unbreakable bond with nature, wherever we are."
--Ingrid Fetell Lee, author of Joyful and Founder of The Aesthetics of Joy
"My perspective was changed when I saw our planet from space. I felt connected to the rivers, forests, people and plants as I orbited our Blue Marble every ninety minutes. In How to Make a Plant Love You, Summer Rayne expertly tells the story of connecting to terra firma through her lifelong love and perspective of plants. A must read for even the not so green thumbers."
--Leland Melvin, astronaut and author of Chasing Space
"So many of us are far removed from the outdoors. As Summer Rayne Oakes notes, gardening has not kept pace with society's gravitation from the suburbs to the city. How To Make a Plant Love You is written as a relationship guide for bringing plants and plant knowledge into your world and discovering their wonderful ways. It's not a "place this plant in this light condition book." Instead it digs deep into how you can have a relationship with plants–and how you'll be a better person for it."
--Jim Peterson, publisher of Garden Design Magazine
"Find the perfect plant for your home and all the advice you need to help it thrive with Summer Rayne Oakes's passionate and timely love letter to houseplants. Less practical plant directory, more mindfully observed and scientifically founded relationship manual between plants and people to help nurture an intuitively green thumb and get the best out of your plant family. Putting houseplants back into the context of their natural habitats and the environment, and the onus on the many wonders of the Plant Kingdom–that's how to make a plant love you, and you fall more deeply in love with it."
--Sonya Patel Ellis, author of The Botanical Bible
"The world's first gardeners were women, and in this remarkable book Summer Rayne Oakes shares their centuries of wisdom. In addition to being a love story about one woman's collection of over a thousand houseplants in a Brooklyn apartment, it's a guide the rest of us can use to get closer to nature in the modern world."
--Michelle Slatalla, editor-in-chief of Gardenista
"I already feel more in tune with my little windowsill garden of houseplants and with the earth's wider ecosystem. It's incredibly grounding to be reminded of how we come from nature and are a part of it, constantly interacting with it, dancing to its tune."
--Aine Campbell, co-founder of Model Mafia
"You will be irresistibly drawn into the world of plants through the power and beauty of Summer Rayne Oakes's prose. Whether describing the myriad houseplants in her Brooklyn apartment or retelling stories of the great but fragile rainforests of the north, Summer Rayne's writing makes you feel you're right by her side in this journey towards a more beautiful, more observant way of being."
--Marianne Krasny, Professor and Director of Civic Ecology Lab, Cornell University
"Summer Rayne Oakes beautifully captures the essential role that plants play in our lives and the world at large. We may not all end up with 1,000 living plants inside our homes, but she shows us how we can take small steps toward a stronger connection with nature and a greener future. This is something we think about a lot at Timberland, so I particularly enjoyed this book!"
-- Colleen Vien, sustainability director, Timberland

Faith and Family are very much interlocked. As today's message shows, the family is God's main tool for passing on the faith. Yet, when "the sons of God" are attracted to "the daughters of men," God threatens to bring His wrath.

Every year in the month of June our small east Texas town comes to life and gathers together to celebrate the Tomato by hosting Tomato Fest. Jacksonville is considered by all who live here to be the tomato capital of the world. And while that may be debatable there is no doubt whatsoever we are the home of the World Record Largest Bowl of Salsa. I know because I was there, in charge of the kitchen, for close to 14 hours. That's how long it takes to chop that many 'maters and clean up the juice. We made over two thousand pounds of salsa that day. We were even on national TV.
See, I even have a picture to prove it!
Today I want to honor the Tomato.
I do this by sharing one of Jacksonville's most charming features, the painted tomatoes that are scattered around our town. I'm not sure who had the idea first but it caught on quickly and now these darlings can be spotted from the beauty shop to the vet's office to the hardware store and even down at the bank.
I present to you, Jacksonville Tomatoes!
Dairy Queen on Jackson Street. Yes, we have TWO DQ's here!
It is all covered up!
Love this one, Texas Basket Factory.
This is a personal tomato so I trespassed in someones yard for this picture. Sorry!
Tomato at the Tomato Bowl, football anyone?
Addie's Favorite because it is purple.
A quick side note-if you are from Jacksonville and I missed your tomato I am really sorry! Total accident on my part. I kinda just got this wild hair and started driving around town with my child in the back seat as a spotter and when we saw a tomato we stopped. We got out. We took a picture. Total randomness. Well, not total. We started on the west side of town and made circles inward until I ended up downtown and then I got out and walked. But you get my point.
And you also now know that I am not a creeper.
Just a sad chicken blogger with a new camera.
I love Bill Day's tomato!
Love your pictures! I didn't even know about some of these… Great job!
So many tomatoes! Great pictures! My favorite is the smiley face one.
I would never have gotten to see all these if not for your photos…good job!
